OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE For this week’s cover story, I interviewed Lile O. Cruse’s wife Michele Rivard while she was driving to a family wedding.

She had her GPS directions on, and every once in a while the voice of Google Maps would startle us both, suddenly filling my phone speaker.

“So what do you think Lile’s legacy should be?” I asked her at one point about her husband, who defined a generation of music and theater at Cabrillo College before passing away on Aug. 23.

“FINDING A NEW ROUTE,” came the loud, monotone answer.

“That wasn’t me,” said Rivard.

TELL THE WHOLE STORY

Re: “Up in Smoke” (GT, Oct. 3): I was just reading the e-cigarette article in the latest issue, and I had to come write immediately to ask how it’s possible that GT could publish such a biased piece? How could Hugh McCormick not even touch on the great numbers of teens who are addicted to e-cigs, and the egregious fruity-flavor marketing campaigns of the manufacturers? Well, he did touch on “scary stories about … grade schoolers getting hooked,” but in a brushingoff way. If Hugh wants to enlighten the public on their smoking cessation benefits, he needs to tell the whole story about e-cigs. Hugh just gave an endorsement of e-cigs, and now people can feel good about their vaping choices since they read about their safety and benefits in the Wellness section of the local free paper.

BICYCLE-FRIENDLY VISION In last week’s Good Times, Greenway took issue with Bike Santa Cruz County’s vision statement: “Bicycling in Santa Cruz County is a safe, respected, convenient, and enjoyable form of transportation and recreation for people of all ages and abilities.”

Bike Santa Cruz County stands firmly behind that vision, working every day

“That was the car.” “‘Finding a new route is a pretty good answer though,” I said, as we both chuckled.

“Yeah,” she said thoughtfully. “It actually is.”

Rivard’s real answer was much more moving, and you’ll find it in the story. But for some reason, I keep thinking about that weird moment with the GPS. Cruse certainly did forge a new path for Cabrillo College, both in music and theater. And the bottom line is that he changed many lives, launched many careers and just made people feel lucky that he was in their lives. That so many of those people have come together to produce and perform in the show celebrating his life this weekend is perhaps the ultimate testament to that. His legacy will live on.

for the past 27 years toward that future through advocacy, education, and community-building. We do this because we strongly believe that our county can become a top-tier bicycling environment that is safe and comfortable for all.

We certainly don’t believe that we have achieved this vision, as Greenway seems to suggest. However, we do take great pride in what we have been able to accomplish as a community working toward a common goal.

We are proud to have had a significant role in a long list of infrastructure improvements for cyclists: the Arana Gulch bicycle/ pedestrian trail; the UCSC bicycle trail; bike racks on Metro buses; bike lanes and green lanes on Beach, High, Front and Bay Streets, as well as Soquel Avenue; green lanes at highway overcrossings; the Highway 1 bike and pedestrian bridge at High Street; the Pacific Avenue contraflow bike lane; and $86 million in Measure D funding for the Coastal Rail Trail.

We further recognize the need to invest in people and programs, not just in paint and asphalt. We take great pride in our programmatic work which includes our Earn-a-Bike program that delivers bikes to Watsonville, Live Oak, and Santa Cruz youth-in-need; Open Streets events in Watsonville and Santa Cruz; support for Vision Zero across Santa Cruz County; and more than 200 community events >8

HIKE MINDED

IN SERVICE

The Association of Environmental and Outdoor Education’s Northern California branch awarded Nick Bischoff of the Ramblin’ Adventure Club its 2018 Environmental Educator of the Year award this past weekend. Bischoff is a certified California naturalist and a three-year employee at Ramblin’. The after-school program and hiking club has its own unique curriculum, providing a safe learning experience throughout Santa Cruz County’s wide-ranging wilderness.

A state grant has allowed Santa Cruz County mental health workers to double down on prevention and diversion services with a program that includes additional staff, downtown outreach, pre-trial and in-custody programs, and mental health liaison workers. A recent third-party evaluation showed a 79 percent increase in contacts with program participants. That resulted in a 74 percent reduction in jail bookings and a 90 percent reduction in convictions.

Do you believe in brand loyalty?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Only The Sun Will Outlast Our Panels.

No, because [a brand] is no indicator of quality in today’s mass-marketed world.

REY HALL PROFESSIONAL LANDSCAPER | CARMEL VALLEY

Only toward a brand that I really trust, otherwise I’ll switch in a second. Like, I’ll trust Patagonia because I know they do well by the environment.

Yes, to companies that are conscious of their impact.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin—old rough thing I don’t need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind.

Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff.

And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos have prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

GEMINI May21–June20 “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey-wrench. That'll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person; computer techie; machine whisperer.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.

Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and décor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.”

Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her perspective as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg; strong sprout cracking out of a seed.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “He believed in magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.”

Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful.

What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.” And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world.

Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not in fact be lounging around in a haze of intoxication. You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very Important People will be more available to you than usual, and you’ll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser; Networker of the Year; Chief Hobnobber.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salman Rushdie.

“Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you’re the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion—you may change your world in dramatic ways.

Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary; crusader; agitator; rabble-rouser.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allan Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.” I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and recommit yourself to embodying it. Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.

Building support for bike infrastructure is challenging. To build that support, we work closely with other organizations, bike advocates, pedestrians, motorists, and community leaders. To be effective, we find that we must listen to these stakeholders, respect their work and opinions, and find ways to support each other to achieve common goals. In that spirit, we remain open to working with Greenway in order to advance the vision of better cycling for everyone in Santa Cruz County.

JANNEKE STRAUSE | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BIKE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY

VALUE VOICED Congratulations to the real community servants who vocalized the value of the Second Story Respite House and financially gifted the continuity of its operation. The community spoke with one voice and acted at all levels to maintain this gem of behavioral health care.

NEWS SUBTEXT MESSAGE An analysis of the dozen local measures on November ballots

BY JACOB PIERCE

[This is part two of our guide to the Nov. 6 election. Part three runs next week. — Editor]

BOW TIME Fisherwoman Neli Cardoso is running in her second election for the Santa Cruz Port Commission, this time with an

endorsement from a sitting commissioner.

Oversee Adventure Port Commission elections prompt discussions about the district’s identity BY JACOB PIERCE

F

or years, no one paid the Santa Cruz Port Commission much notice.

Then, in 2014, a disgruntled musician from the Sons of the Beach ukulele club, which gathers on Santa Cruz Harbor property each Saturday, got upset. He ran for election to the commission, citing a minor permitting issue surrounding the weekly event. He lost, and the issue quickly got resolved. But two years later, three seats were available on the Port Commission, which oversees the harbor. Eight candidates threw their hats in, three of them incumbents. Darren

Gertler, one of the challengers, finished as the top vote-getter, after winning some big endorsements and running on a pitch to help improve harbor communications and keep the harbor mouth open. This year, Commissioner Gertler has endorsed candidate Neli Cardoso in the 2018 Port District race.

“For so many years, it slid under the radar,” Gertler says of the commission. “It’s always been at the bottom of the ballot. No one knows what the Port District is, no one knows what it does. I think that’s changing.”

Cardoso, a fisherwoman who originally hails from Brazil, says

she has a plan to increase salmon releases out of the Santa Cruz Harbor, making it a better place for both the fishing industry and for everyday hobbyists. “I want to be there for the people, more than anything,” says Cardoso in her thick Portuguese accent.

In years past, the commission wouldn’t hold elections, because there weren’t enough candidates. For whatever reason, the commission is certainly generating interest and candidates now.

Two seats are available, and two incumbents are running for re-election, including Commissioner Toby Goddard. >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 24-30, 2018

It’s nearly Election Day, and local races are seeing much of the splintering and fraying one would expect this late in the cycle.

One initiative that’s seeing a wide range of buy-in in the election is Measure H, the $140 million affordable housing bond.

“We’ll be able to provide housing to seniors, veterans, farm workers, the people who make our community work,” says Alina Harway, communications director for the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California (NPH). “I don’t think there’s any doubt from anyone in the community that we have an affordable housing crisis. What’s exciting to me about Measure H is that input came from so many different places.” Harway, who lives in Scotts Valley, notes that the process included groups from Santa Cruz For Bernie to the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau.

Three-quarters of the cash from the 35-year bond would go toward building an estimated 1,041 brand new affordable units. The rest would fund homeless facilities and go toward assistance for firsttime home buyers.

Some homeowners, like activist Becky Steinbruner, argue that Measure H would tack an unfair burden onto property tax bills, putting a squeeze on low-income seniors.

Harway, who happens to be a new home owner herself, stresses that under the measure many seniors will qualify for the state’s Low Income Senior Property Tax Deferral Program. It also would provide relief to seniors who rent, she says.

Besides Measure H, there are only two other local measures with any opposition, one of them being Measure M, Santa Cruz’s rent control initiative (see page 12).

No one should expect rent control alone to suddenly turn Santa Cruz into a cheap town to live in. Some research has shown that the policy has provided an excuse for landlords in other cities to take units off the market, often by converting them >14

Phone Consultation Lu Haussler, J.D.

On a recent Saturday morning walk around the harbor, Goddard tells me his favorite spot is on a bench right in front of the district office overlooking the marina. “I like to come down and here and just observe,” he says. “From here, I can see how active the harbor is.”

Goddard, who met his wife in the harbor and also got married there, says that overseeing the Port District involves managing a number of relationships—with the city, county and California Coastal Commission, as well as other state bodies. By day, Goddard is the conservation manager for the Santa Cruz Water Department.

At commission meetings, he says he brings knowledge of how local government works, as well as a long list of contacts and connections.

Goddards’s fellow incumbent in the race is Reed Geisreiter, the recently retired regional president for Comerica Bank. Geisreiter says he brings his financial expertise to the commission, where he specializes in refinancing debt, setting aside reserves and handling

lease renewals. One of the district’s responsibilities is as a landlord to tenants like the Crow’s Nest. The only commissioner who doesn’t own a boat in the harbor, Geisreiter says he represents the general public, including joggers and ukulele players who may not rent slips in the harbor. He wants to make sure the harbor is safe and affordable while remaining totally self-sufficient, he says. Geisreiter is the son of a former commissioner and his dad founded the ukulele club.

Candidate Dick Starr grew up around the harbor and, like Geisreiter, he’s the son of a former commissioner. His family owned one of the first boats in the marina.

Starr has seen a lot of changes in the harbor over the years. He says his experience as a licensed contractor has shown him how to envision a big finished project, like a house, as well as the long to-do list of needed tasks to get to the finish line. He wonders if the commission might explore stacking boats in the dry dock, as well as building a crane to lift them into the water—something he’s seen in harbors he’s visited in Florida.

Gertler says many of the big issues he ran on were quickly resolved.

Communication has gotten better since the district hired a different director, he says, and frequent dredging of the harbor mouth has kept the port open more often, something many boaters had been calling for two years ago.

Goddard notes that 2016 was a big El Niño year—one that pounded the harbor, bringing in piles of sand.

That’s what kept the harbor shoaled in, he says, and a recently purchased dredge came with a challenging learning curve that year, as well. He does agree with Gertler, though, that the new Port Director Marian Olin, a 22-year veteran of the district staff, is “an excellent communicator.”

For her part, Cardoso has a vision for the harbor that involves more salmon releases from the harbor, via the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project. In the past, the project would release 240,000 smolts into the harbor. Many of the fish got caught by fishing boats at sea. A few years later, the rest would return to the harbor, making for magnificent fishing. Cardoso and her >16

RENTERS RISING Dozens of students, labor organizers and landlords filled the floor of the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium last Thursday, streaming past folding tables stacked with campaign buttons, renters’ rights pamphlets and voter registration forms.

Several community standbys were on hand, like the Homeless Garden Project, SEIU Local 521 and Food Not Bombs. There were also more niche groups: Landlords and Homeowners for Rent Control, Students United with Renters, the Santa Cruz Tenants Organizing Committee, and campaigners for both the $100 million Measure H county

housing bond and the Measure M Santa Cruz rent control initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot.

The event coincided with an Affordable Housing Week organized by the Santa Cruz County Housing Advocacy Network, a coalition of labor groups and nonprofits. It doubled as an illustration of a growing renters’ rights coalition uniting students and activists, labor unions, affordable housing developers and property owners willing to risk future financial gains—many for what they say will be a fight well beyond election day to build new housing, preserve existing affordable units and add more legal protections for renters.

There will be five city, county and state housing measures

on the ballot for Santa Cruz voters on Nov. 6. In addition to Measures M and H, there are two state housing funding measures (Propositions 1 and 2) and a proposed expansion of units cities may choose to regulate under rent control (Proposition 10).

“There are also campaigns going on across the state,” said Dean Preston, head of Bay Area renter advocacy group Tenants Together, including National City, Sacramento, El Cerrito and L.A. County. “We’re going to see a wave of these ordinances moving forward.”

Just as renters have coalesced around rent control and new affordable housing funding measures, landlords, realtors, homeowners and some

renters have united in opposition groups led by Santa Cruz Together. They frame the rent control program proposed under Measure M as too extreme and costly to implement.

“Scholars compare the housing crisis to climate change,” said UCSC Sociology Professor Miriam Greenberg, who co-organized the “No Place Like Home” study. “There is no silver bullet.”

For now, people like Diana Alfaro, a project manager with affordable housing developer MidPen Housing, are struggling to keep pace. “We received 2,500 applications for 46 units,” Alfaro said of the developer’s most recent project. “Things are not getting easier.” LAUREN HEPLER

to owner-occupied condominiums. Generally speaking, that can inflate other portions of the rental market and create big price jumps whenever a vacant unit appears on listings.

Studies, released in recent months, have since added nuance to such findings, if not thrown them into question altogether.

What rent control can do is help out Santa Cruz residents, including lowerincome ones, who are living in older apartment buildings—i.e. complexes built before 1995—by preventing their rents from continuing to sky-rocket. And if the statewide Proposition 10 manages to pass (it’s trailing badly in the polls), those protections could extend to all homes in Santa Cruz city limits.

In Capitola, Measure L, backed by the trail-oriented nonprofit Greenway, would

change the city’s transportation laws pertaining to the proposed rail trail project that could one day stretch from Davenport to Watsonville. The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) is currently studying a plan to introduce rail transit on the corridor, a direction supported by Friends of the Rail and Trail (FORT), which opposes Measure L. Greenway, though, wants a wider bike and pedestrian trail with no train, citing estimated train costs and ridership numbers, as well as the corridor’s narrowness and engineering challenges.

Some of those challenges are in Capitola, where an aging 200-foot bridge would likely not be able to accommodate an added trail. This particular initiative would mandate that planners do not reroute the trail off the corridor anywhere in Capitola.

Opponents, including FORT Chair Mark

Mesiti-Miller and City Councilmember Stephanie Harlan, argue that Measure L would unnecessarily tie the city’s hands— conflicting with existing city law, while creating a potential standoff with the RTC and even throwing the status of unrelated bike projects into question.

There are nine other local measures— the most notable being Measure G, the local sales tax measure, and the only countywide initiative besides Measure H. The county measure would raise the sales tax to 9 percent, no higher than it is elsewhere in the county. A Santa Cruz measure raised the city’s sales tax to 9.25 percent this past June.

Although the measure appears on all local ballots, it would only raise the rate in the unincorporated area. It would fund improvements to parks, homeless services and mental health offerings.

Capitola is one of three cities looking to pass a transient occupancy tax (TOT) this November with Measure J. Most of this lodging tax increase would go to miscellaneous general fund expenses— basically offsetting increasing pension costs for retirees and preventing deep cuts elsewhere in the city. Twenty percent of the money would go to support off-season marketing efforts in a gesture intended to negate costs to the business community, while another 18 percent would go toward youth and early childhood programs, providing a small boost to programs currently funded by Capitola’s general fund. Because it’s a specialty tax, Measure J will need a two-thirds vote to pass.

There are two other TOTs on local ballots: Measure O in Watsonville, which would raise its TOT to 12 percent, and Measure P in Scotts Valley, which would raise its lodging tax to 11 percent. Both need majority votes to pass. The subtext for all these TOT and sales tax measures has to do with pension costs, which are rising statewide. The projected growth in the investments that backed the pension portfolios was unrealistically rosy, and, rather than dealing with it, the state kicked the costs down to local governments.

There are three local parcel taxes—each needing 55 percent in order to pass— including Scotts Valley’s Measure A, which would charge $108 per parcel of property and raise $820,000 annually toward maintaining programs and keeping up with technology needs, as well as attracting and retaining highly qualified teachers and counselors over five years. In Soquel Union Elementary School District, Measure B, a six-year funding plan, would approve a tax of $96 per parcel and raise a total of $820,000 in order to retain and attract teachers, while avoiding program cuts. La Selva Recreation District’s Measure P tax would allow a tax of $50 per parcel, raising $40,000 each year for clubhouse upgrades and other district improvements.

There are two other Capitola initiatives: Measure I, which would raise Capitola’s cannabis business tax from 10 to 12 percent, and Measure K to consider eliminating the city treasurer as an elected position—something most jurisdictions did years ago. Seeing as Capitola already has a finance director, Peter Wilk, the current treasurer, argues the position would be better filled by an appointment, if it’s needed at all.

NEWS OVERSEE ADVENTURE <12 husband Thomas Whelan (who’s also the campaign manager) would like to see releases go back to at least 240,000, arguing that it could be a boon to the salmon fishing industry.

The two of them rue the days when the fishing was great right out of the harbor, as it provided opportunities to folks who couldn’t afford to book a spot on a charter boat.

The salmon returns came with other impacts, however, like swarms of sea lions, and throngs of people crowded on the docks and levies, casting out lines. Whelan has a plan to mitigate the sea lion overcrowding. Even still, Goddard and Geisreiter don’t see it going over well with other harbor lovers.

The two sitting commissioners say they would support increased salmon releases, provided that the releases are done offshore, as they were in 2017. That prevents the massive returns to the harbor seen in past years that they believe can be problematic.

Goddard, whose wife once nearly got hooked by a frenetic salmon fisherman on the jetty, says that being a commissioner means a lot of listening to opposing viewpoints.

It requires a lot of balance, rather like being on the water, he explains.

“You’re on a paddleboard, trying to balance a lot of different things,” he says, holding his arms out and swaying from side to side, acting out the metaphor.

Salmon aside, Goddard and Geisreiter have a lot of other priorities on their minds, like replacing the seawall behind Aldo’s, and economic development.

Starr says he still wants to learn more about the issues. If elected, he says that he might look at the district differently once he adjusts to the board and gets his sea legs.

“It’s always easy to point fingers and say you shoulda and coulda,” he says. “But until you’re in the seat and standing in those shoes, you can’t tell what everything really looks like. And then, all of a sudden you realize you don’t have $20 million to do every single project, so you have to pick and choose and look for funding.”

She'll smother you like there's no other you.

Then don’t let Measure M divide Santa Cruz by pitting landlords against tenants. It’s already bad enough. Landlords have taken thousands of properties off the rental market and sold out to the rich in cities that have enacted rent control.

Paul Krugman is against Rent Control for good reason!

And The Worst Part: A new multi-million dollar rent board will be created, wasting badly needed money that should be spent on permanent affordable housing. Not a smart move!

Don’t Be Fooled! If Measure M passes, overcrowded houses will be everywhere, the community will be even more divided and nobody will be able to do a damn thing about it.

I KNOW WHERE I’VE BEEN Lile O. Cruse conducting Cabrillo Stage’s ‘Hairspray’ in 2011—one of two shows for which he returned as music director after retiring in 2003.

Luminaries from the life of longtime Cabrillo educator and Cabrillo Stage founder Lile O. Cruse come together this weekend to celebrate the impact he made in so many lives

hen Santa Cruz photographer and 20-year Cabrillo Stage veteran Jana Marcus was starting to put together the celebration of Lile O. Cruse’s life at the Rio Theatre this weekend, she struggled with how to represent everything he had done at Cabrillo College. Hired as the director of bands for both classical and jazz music in 1970, Cruse was a popular teacher who founded the school’s jazz program and went on to be chair of the Performing Arts division. In addition, he led Cabrillo’s Summer Rep Theater until 1981, when he started and served for two decades as music director and leader of what stands as his greatest legacy: Cabrillo Stage.

When Cruse died on Aug. 23, after a short illness, at the age of 84, Marcus thought she was prepared; Cruse’s wife, Michele Rivard, had asked her three years ago to put together something that would be “short and sweet” in Cruse’s honor when the time came. But the more Marcus tried to make all of the pieces of Cruse’s life fit together, the more she realized that many of the most revealing ones didn’t happen at Cabrillo at all. Instead, they were things that happened outside of the college that grew out of the relationships he had built there.

She thought about Leslie Robertson Rhodes, who auditioned for a part in Cruse’s 1989 Cabrillo Stage production of Evita when she was 17 years old. Cruse saw something in her, and—despite the prevailing attitude that he was crazy to cast someone so inexperienced in the lead role— gave her the part of Eva Peron in what would go on to be one of the theater company’s most acclaimed productions. Rhodes went on to star in two more Cabrillo Stage productions, 1997’s Funny Girl and 2001’s Honk.

To Marcus, Rhodes is emblematic of the many cast and crew members whose talent Cruse recognized and fostered over the years.

“She loves Lile like a father,” says Marcus. “When Leslie got married and had kids, and one of her daughters got the part of Eva Peron in the high school musical, Lile and Michele went to Utah to see her daughter perform it. This was just a couple of years ago.”

Cruse stayed in contact with many of his music and musical theater alumni, and this particular relationship lasted until the very end.

“Leslie came to visit Lile several times when he was in his last months,” says Marcus. “He had a little bit of dementia, and Leslie asked Michele, ‘What can I do?’ And Michele said, ‘Sing for him.’ So Leslie was there in his nursing facility, singing ‘Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.’”

Rhodes was only one of the people who wanted to be involved in this weekend’s celebration, which was originally conceived as a memorial, but quickly evolved into something quite different.

“As soon as we announced on Facebook that Lile had passed away, there were hundreds and hundreds of messages from people all over the country—musicians, techies, actors—and everyone was saying the same thing: ‘Lile changed my life,’” says Marcus. “I sat back and looked at all those messages, and it’s just really amazing how many lives he touched, and how people feel so incredibly loyal to him. And I thought, ‘Do we want to do a memorial, where people are going to get up and talk? Or do we want to let these people do what they do best, which is perform?’”

The answer was obvious, says Janie Scott, a Broadway veteran who has been directing Cabrillo Stage productions for the last 17 years.

Scott is one of a core group of people helping Marcus organize what has become, in true Lile Cruse shoot-for-the-moon fashion, the 90-minute performance extravaganza Maestro: A Musical Celebration Honoring Lile O. Cruse; she will also host it. Even an hour and a half, however, has not proven to be enough time to accommodate all of the performers who started under Cruse’s tutelage and have gone on to great things—and now want to show their appreciation for the mark he made on their lives.

“There were more people who contacted Jana than we could use,” says Scott. “Otherwise we’d be having, like, a 24-hour marathon for this show.”

Rhodes will be there, but she will not be singing what Marcus calls “the freakin’ saddest song in the world.” “When we were putting this show together, we asked Leslie to come and perform, and she said, ‘I can’t sing ‘Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.’ I won’t get through the song,’” she says. “That’s when I realized this needs to a celebration, not a dirge. This needs to a celebration for all the people Lile has left behind. For everyone who loves him, everyone who feels so indebted for everything he did for their careers.”

Instead, Rhodes will sing “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” from Funny Girl.

“Which she is a powerhouse at,” adds Marcus. “She’s going to close the show. We thought that song was actually really appropriate, because this whole celebration is about how

all of us went forward and forged our careers because of what Lile believed in in us. So here we go, we’re going to carry the torch—don’t rain on our parade.”

GATHERED TOGETHER Despite the huge convergence of talent at the celebration—there are four Broadway singers in the opening rendition of “All That Jazz” alone—the outpouring of emotion and dedication to Cruse that these former Cabrillo Stage and jazz band figures have shown makes the whole thing feel more like a family gathering than an all-star production.

And that’s how it should be, says Rivard, a music educator who was married to Cruse for 33 years and worked with him on every Cabrillo Stage production.

“That’s what Lile tried to do— create a family,” she says. “Everybody had a role to play, and everybody’s role was important to everybody

else’s role. By being a family—not a team, but a family—then he could promote the passion that he felt.

People didn’t do a ‘job.’ And that’s why they kept coming back.”

Sometimes, the family concept could get quite literal, as Scott discovered when she worked with Cruse on the 1999 production of Annie. They were having trouble casting the lead role, and finally Cruse asked her, “Do you know anyone you could get in here?”

Scott did—her 13-year-old niece, who came in to audition.

“I had never told Lile it was a family member, because I don’t play that card,” says Scott. “So Lile sits next to me, and as she’s walking on stage, he says, ‘I hear you know this one.’ And I say, ‘Uh … yeah.’

He says, ‘I was just talking to her mom, and that happens to be your sister, Janie.’ And I went ‘OK, OK.’ When you spent a little bit of time working with him, you really caught on to what his very sly, dry wit and sense of humor was. And you had be somebody who appreciated that. I was a big fan.”

Her niece got the part, and Cabrillo Stage’s Annie became one of the first professional credits for Chelsea Morgan Stock, who has since gone on to perform in Broadway shows like The Little Mermaid—in which she played Ariel—Something Rotten and Sister Act. Stock is far from the only national success story to come out of Cabrillo Stage. For Cruse’s very first production for the company in 1981, he chose Chicago—which was then fairly new and somewhat controversial—and chose L.A. actress Belle Calloway as the lead.

Calloway went on to star as Roxy in the Broadway run of Chicago for several years. More recently, Rickey Tripp, who was the secondary lead in Cruse’s 2002 production of Some Like it Hot, has found success in Broadway shows like Hamilton and In the Heights, and choreographed last year’s live TV version of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Some of these success stories are returning to Santa Cruz County for Maestro, like Stark and Natalie Ballenger, who performed in several

Cabrillo Stage musicals as a child and currently stars as Maria in the national touring production of West Side Story. A number of local favorites with connections to Cruse, like Cabrillo’s Kathryn Atkins, Andrew Ceglio and Tony Panighetti will also perform.

“Lile got performers from all over,” remembers Marcus. “He would go into the Bay Area—San Francisco, San Jose—for the lead roles, he would go and audition people all over the place back in the early ’80s. Once Cabrillo Stage started to catch on, by the late ’80s, people were auditioning from all over the country, to be there and work with Lile. And then the kids growing up in town were always in the ensemble. It was really exciting when someone from the ensemble who started when they were 10 was suddenly 20, and Lile was like, ‘I want you to be a lead this year.’”

A STAGE IS BORN Marcus got to witness the beginning of Cabrillo Stage because she practically grew up in the Cabrillo drama department, where her mother Wilma Marcus Chandler was choreographing and directing in the ’70s.

“As little kids, my sister and I were sleeping in the theater seats during rehearsal because mom had no babysitter,” she remembers. “And in the summertime, Cabrillo would have these big theater festivals. This was not Cabrillo Stage, this was in the mid-’70s. It was called Summer Rep Theatre, and bad B-movie actors would come and star in plays, and then we’d have a main stage musical and a little show. It was usually four shows. And Lile always did the full pit orchestra, because he was the head of the Performing Arts division at Cabrillo. So I met him when I was a little kid.”

The passage of Prop. 13 in 1978 led to the end of funding for summer theater at Cabrillo, but in 1981 Cruse came up with a cost-effective idea to replace it: Cabrillo Stage, which would produce one show a year. Cruse took on the roles of both executive producer and music

<22 director, and his ambition for the company quickly elevated it to a level that most people didn’t expect.

“I think in Lile’s head he was looking at this as, ‘Let’s make this the most professional thing it can be. This is not just academic theater.’

I’ve worked in that realm for a whole lot of years, and it’s a different animal,” says Scott, who in addition to her own history on stage— including playing Wendy in the Broadway production of Peter Pan— has served on the faculty of San Jose State University for two decades.

“Lile was not afraid to get in the trenches and do all of the work that needed to be done. And he wasn’t afraid to call the shots the way he saw them. I think maybe sometimes in his head he was thinking, ‘Now what can we do? Where can I go with this, and what can we do to up the production values, up the quality of everything?’ as he continued to build what was really a dream of his.

“He was very meticulous. He

wrote everything down and he was extremely organized,” says Rivard.

“He worked really hard to pick people who he could let do their thing, within his parameters. He would guide them if they started to stray, and if they never supported it, he didn’t hire them back. He really gave a lot of latitude, a lot of freedom. But he did set the bar high.”

His family and friends knew that underneath Cruse’s intent demeanor, that sly sense of humor was always waiting to spring. “He was always a joker, but he always looked like he was serious,” says Marcus.

Scott remembers what it was like to see him in the orchestra pit when she did her two lead roles for Cabrillo Stage productions—Peter Pan, appropriately enough, and Annie Get Your Gun. “While I’d be on stage performing, he and I would make eye contact often, and it was just sort of this unsaid communication.

He was such a supporter for me in so many ways, including as a

performer. He would give me that look which was, ‘This is great. Keep going. I’m happy you’re here and doing this.’ And I would of course be reflecting that back to him. It was just so evident in everything he did how much he cared for everybody, absolutely truly cared.”

“Everybody loved Lile,” says Marcus, “and that’s because Lile took the time to get to know everybody. You could be the volunteer techie mopping the stage before a show, and Lile would come up to you and go, ‘So, how are you doing today?’ He knew everyone’s name, and he made sure he talked to everybody.”

music, especially jazz, and while it may seem separate, Rivard says it wasn’t to Cruse.

“There was no divide,” she says.

“There was no divide between the styles of music, the styles of theater.

If it was good and it was from the heart and soul, then it was worth listening to, and worth being part of.”

Cruse certainly brought both heart and soul to Cabrillo’s music program.

He hired Ray Brown, and also taught Donny McCaslin—the saxophonist who collaborated with David Bowie on the music legend’s final album, Blackstar—as well as trumpeters Bill Theurer and Rebecca Coupe Franks, and saxophonist Paul Contos, who is the education director for the Monterey Jazz Festival.

One of Cruse’s early students at Cabrillo was Kuumbwa Jazz Center’s co-founder and Artistic Director Tim Jackson, who took a jazz history class from him shortly after moving to Santa Cruz in 1972.

“Lile was a really fun and inspiring teacher,” says Jackson. “He would actually bring groups in to perform.

He started as a jazz cat—he was a professional sax player.”

Jackson went on to play in Cruse’s concert band, which gave him a whole different kind of education. “He threw a lot of hard music at us. Lile expected a lot from his band,” he says. “But he wasn’t dogmatic. He had very open ears.”

At the same time, Cruse headed a jazz band that has become somewhat legendary. “The Cabrillo College Jazz Band in the early and mid-’70s was just an amazing band, that had all these really great players,” says Jackson. “It was kind of a milestone band.” In 2011, Jackson reunited members of that band for a show at the Kuumbwa headed by Cruse, with the players coming from as far away as Spain to take part.

Maestro will also feature a tribute to Cruse’s bandleader days. “The very first singer Lile ever brought in to sing with his jazz band was this wild belter named Janie Finwall, who to this day still has a jazz combo upstate,” says Marcus. “She’s coming back to sing a song that she used to sing with Lile’s original jazz band, ‘Route 66.’ She scats, she’s a wild jazz singer.”

THE MAESTRO’S LEGACY

FEEL LIKE RUNNING AND DANCING FOR JOY Cruse’s production of ‘West Side Story’ in 2003 saw him at the peak of his powers. PHOTO: JANA MARCUS

<25

THE LEGACY Leaving Cabrillo Stage wasn’t easy for Cruse. “Lile decided to retire in 2003 because West Side Story was his ultimate show. It was the most incredible production,” says Marcus.

“It sold out a month in advance, every single show—30,000 people saw that show in six weeks. It was insane. And Lile said, ‘This is when I should retire. When everything is beautiful and big.’ And then he regretted it. He told me the next summer, ‘I don’t know what I did.’ It was very hard for him, which is why he came back as music director in 2005 and 2011. Because this was his baby. It’s hard to let go of your baby, you know? But Cabrillo Stage had reached a point that was amazing, both professionally and with the community recognizing, ‘Wow, we actually have Broadway-level theater right here in Santa Cruz.’”

Besides Broadway dreams, Cruse brought a real sense of fun and whimsy to the Santa Cruz County theater scene—and he enjoyed it as much as everyone else.

“He was entertained by the people, by the material, by the shows. He really, really was,” says Scott. “He really was pleased by the things that came from that, and I think he was just very proud of what he created.

I hope he was proud. I think he was.

He built an incredible foundation that is continuing on today.”

In the end, says Rivard, what

matters is the people who made themselves—and continue to make themselves, at this weekend’s tribute—a part of Cruse’s world. They are more than just witnesses to his legacy.

“I think the people that participated in everything and went to see everything are the legacy,” she says. “Everything was for the audience. He wanted to always be entertained. And he wanted to entertain people.”

MAESTRO: A MUSICAL CELEBRATION HONORING LILE O. CRUSE An all-star performance hosted by Janie Scott, ‘Maestro: A Musical Celebration Honoring Lile O. Cruse’ will be presented at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz, on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m.

other sounds and textures. (On the down side, a world where looping is common would make Will Ferrell’s “More Cowbell” SNL skit obsolete).

This weekend, beginning Friday, Oct. 26, the Y2K18 festival takes over Center Stage Theater in downtown Santa Cruz with artists from around the world demonstrating just how far you can take such a straightforward technology.

Around 40 performers—16 of whom come from outside the U.S.—will participate, representing a wild variety of styles and instrumentation. All they have in common is the process of looping, a brand of real-time selfimprovisation.

The founder of the looping festival is Rick Walker, the veteran Santa Cruz percussionist and multiinstrumentalist who has been mounting the festival since 2000 with almost no resources. Largely because it features musicians who are pioneers in pushing the boundaries of performance, the festival has never really generated big audiences. But it has caught the attention of a small cadre of musicians from around the world who have sought to emulate it elsewhere.

“Every year,” says Walker, “someone comes to this festival [as a performer] who’s never been here before, and every year there’s at least one of those artists who is blown away by it, saying ‘I had no idea this kind of community even existed.’”

The festival continues Saturday and Sunday, leading up to its headlining concert, which this year is called Voces de Mexico and features choral director and ethnomusicologist Juan Pablo Villa, who will be creating a musical piece inspired by Mexican folk traditions and the narratives of

people crossing the hostile deserts of northern Mexico in search of a better life. Villa will be collaborating with fellow looper Per Boysen from Sweden, and several guest vocalists.

Also taking part in the show is visual artist Maha Jumai Taitano—who, in a first for the festival, will be creating video loops.

Walker, 65, will also be among the performers, along with longtime Santa Cruz musical partners Bill Walker (Rick’s brother) and Daniel S. Thomas. Many of the festival’s performers will also perform on an ambitious looping tour that includes dates in Singapore, Malaysia, Bali and other countries.

Walker says that after 18 years, the festival is finally becoming an official nonprofit, which could dramatically change how it is funded. Being able to accept taxexempt donations might allow the festival to reach for higher profile artists and appeal to potential donors in the tech industry who are excited about the collision between technology and creativity that looping represents.

Walker has kept the festival alive with little funding for years and has, over the years, often wondered how to keep it viable. “Every year, two hours before the artists arrive, we’ll be tearing our hair out,” he says.

“Every year when it’s over, we’ll be crying and going, ‘I’m so glad we did this.’ It really is an amazing thing.”

The Y2K18 International Looping Festival will be held Friday, 7:30-11 p.m., Saturday 1:30-11 p.m., and Sunday 1-7 p.m. at Center Stage Theater, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz.

The headliners concert, featuring Lizeth Ruvalcaba, Leika Mochan, Juan Pablo Villa and Voces de Mexico, will be presented 9-11 p.m. Sunday. y2kloopfest.com.

Inspired by ‘Blade Runner,’ Tauk takes on a futuristic soundscape on two new albums BY AARON CARNES

L

ast fall, while Alric “A.C.” Carter’s band Tauk was on tour, he snuck away to see a movie: Blade Runner 2049.

He’d never seen the original, but he loved the sequel—particularly the music.

“It just evoked a certain kind of emotion,” says Carter, who plays keyboards in the jazzy, proggy, hiphop instrumental fusion ensemble.

“You feel like you’re part of the experience. I liked how the music hits and breathes with the visuals.”

It wasn’t until the following

year that the film’s influence fully manifested itself. Tauk’s latest recording project became two concept albums that explored artificial intelligence and the moral ambiguity of technology.

It wasn’t so much that the foursome was trying to make a particular point about AI; rather, they were contemplating the possibilities.

“We think about what we’ve seen in our lifetime, and the potential for what's actually possible. Certain things that were impossible are a

lot more feasible these days,” Carter says. “There’s good and bad to everything.”

The two albums that resulted were Shapeshifter I: Construct, which came out in April, and Shapeshifter II: The Outbreak, which was released in September.

Unlike something that Rush or King Crimson might do, this package of futuristic, fantastic-themed albums has no actual stories, since the band is entirely instrumental.

What the listener is left with is a mood and a feeling. Carter says that

they are happy to keep the whole thing opaque.

“We want to be able to paint these different soundscapes and allow our listeners to have their own unique experiences,” he says.

Whether or not you are creating a story in your mind while listening to it, the music certainly sounds sci-fi.

There’s a strange juxtaposition as Carter’s keys spit out spacey textures and squeal with an almost robot-like, pitch-altering vocal-sounding lead while the rhythm section grooves together in a loose funky jazzy vibe that’s accented with a heavy dose of math rock smarts. It’s kind of like hearing a robot wrestle with its own imperfect humanity.

The record is a first for the band in that it was recorded not in a proper studio, but a house where they could work uninterrupted for weeks on end. This particular house was creepy, which may have added to the overall cinematic, foreboding sound of the music.

“It was an abandoned house that no one had lived in for 40 years.

Paintings suspended on the walls, almost falling off. Dusty. We set up in the living room, our sound board was in the kitchen. We made it work, but it was a vibe,” Carter says.

The first album has a tense, contemplative sound to it, while the second one has a lot of momentum.

It could easily be the soundtrack to a flying-car chase scene.

The group’s natural tendency toward genre-mashing has only increased since its inception a decade ago. On these records, they continue to explore the line separating musical style as they ponder robot life. The two concepts complete each other, and make for an overall dynamic instrumental record.

“We take on many different genres, ideas and approaches as far as styles go that we try to mix and make our own,” Carter says. “We feel like the songs that we have on this record are very cinematic and would fit in with a lot of movies and visuals and things of that nature.”

Tauk performs at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door.

THINKING ABOUT VOTING FOR MEASURE M? Think again. You could soon lose your home. It could be sold out from under you with short notice and dim prospects for finding a new one. Before you vote, check out what happened to available rentals in Santa Monica and San Francisco. Yup, you guessed it. They all but disappeared.

Paul Krugman is against Rent Control for good reason!

Don’t be fooled! Santa Cruz would lose thousands of rental units if Measure M passes. Housing would soon become LESS affordable and LESS available.

VOTE NO on M. Save affordable housing for Santa Cruz!

Students, Working Families and Seniors will THANK YOU. Paid for by K.G. Carlson, Against Measure M

HALLOWEEN CONTRA DANCE

MONDAY 10/29 RALLY FOR THE CLIMATE KIDS Twenty-one youth plaintiffs are suing the federal government for destroying their future by destroying the environment. The suit was filed in 2015, and despite repeated requests by both the Obama and Trump administration to throw the case out, it is scheduled to go to trial in Oregon on Oct. 29. The plaintiffs, ages 10 to 21, say that because the government has failed to stop the use of fossil fuels in the last 50 years, they are denying them their right to a life-sustaining climate in the future. Santa Cruz community members will be joining rallies at federal courts across the country on Monday to show support for the plaintiffs.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

GETAWAY DOGS The two songs on Getaway Dogs’ new 7" single are not new—they were previously released on the band’s Lost in the Ebb LP. But since the lineup has basically completely changed, leader Kai Killion thought it would be fun to have the current version of the band do some recordings of the songs.

It’s just a taste of what’s to come.

The group is hard at work on its longawaited follow-up full length, which has been in the works since January of this year and is expected to be released in the Spring of 2019.

OCTOBER 24-30, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“There’s a more honed-in sound,” Killion says. “It feels like a progressive step forward for the songwriting. It feels like it’ll be the best body of work that we’ve released yet, and we’re really excited for everyone to hear what we have in store.”

40

Originally a solo project for Killion, Getaway Dogs became a proper band after he released the album Mermaid Legs and Getaway Dogs in late 2013, and was looking for a way to do the songs justice in a live setting. Now he’s able to incorporate elements like psychedelic soundscapes and Brazilian rhythms. A friend even coined a genre name for it: “cushy bedroom psychedelic bossa nova.”

“It’s nice to have some kind of term to give it. It’s definitely a mix of so many things, and has the coastal element of Santa Cruz as a big part of it—surf rock and reverb and stuff. Also there’s soul and Brazilian music and psychedelic rock heavily in there as well,” Killion says. AARON CARNES 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-1854.

THE WEATHER STATION

WEDNESDAY 10/24 FOLK

THE WEATHER STATION Somewhere between Steve Gunn and Johanna Warren is Tamara Lindemann, the Toronto songwriter known as the Weather Station. With an ear for crystalline melodies, Lindemann brings quiet strength and stunning lyrical clarity to her lived-in folk songs.

In “Thirty,” the second track from last year’s acclaimed self-titled album, she describes a moment of self-realization at a culturally perilous age: “I could see it so simple, unsubtle/Impossible, clearly/And strange/Far and as close as a mountain range/On the horizon driving all day.” In Lindemann’s hands, the familiar becomes strange, and the strange familiar again. MIKE HUGUENOR 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $14/door. 429-6994.

HIP-HOP

NNAMDI OGBONNAYA Armed with hyper-animated synth riffs and rubber band-like vocals, Nnamdi

Ogbonnaya’s eclectic brand of Chicago DIY hip-hop is clever, nuanced, and catchy AF. His arsenal of oddball yet genuine lyrics competes for center stage with rhythms so dynamic they might be cartoonish, except they utterly capture and transcend those lyrics from the zeitgeist of Ogbonnaya’s brain into a universal experience of which even the coldest, smallest-aorta grinch relates.

Part fun and all killer instinct, Ogbonnaya is the champion mixed martial artist of the music world. AMY BEE 9 p.m., Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 423-1338.

THURSDAY 10/25 JAM BAND

CALIFORNIA KIND The great thing about being in a jam band is that you are in a great position to join other jam bands, as being in tune with the spontaneity of the moment is basically your job. California Kind, which bills itself as a “jam veteran” band, will send you on an incredible psychedelic, funky possibly mind-altering journey, with eons of experience to back up all the far out jams.

We’re talking about people who’ve played with David Nelson Band, the

Dead, Jefferson Starship, Bruce Hornsby, Chris Robinson, and Moonalice.

Just make sure you toss your calendar in the trash, because you won’t need that where you’re heading. AC 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $22/door. 479-1854.

ALLISON MILLER’S BOOM TIC BOOK As a drummer who thrives deep in the pocket, Brooklyn-based Allison Miller is a trap set marvel who keeps company with jazz’s greatest improvisers. Her latest album, Science Fair, evolved out of the Stanford Jazz Workshop. Co-led by pianist Carmen Staaf, the album features the horn tandem of trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens. She concludes a Western tour with her long-running band Boom Tic Boom, which is offering a sneak peak at a stellar new album Glitter Wolf. Miller is a savvy composer who continually finds new ways to showcase her ostentatiously talent-packed combo featuring violinist Jenny Scheinman, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, cornetist Kirk Knuffke, bassist Tony Scherr, and pianist Dawn Clement.

ROCK

JESSE COLIN YOUNG There aren’t many musicians performing today who have had their finger on the pop culture pulse for as long as Jesse Colin Young. He had already cut two solo albums before forming the Youngbloods, who would release the iconic Summer of Love anthem, “Get Together.” By the time Nirvana re-used the lyrics in the ’90’s (“Come on people, smile on your brother”), Young already had another two decades of solo record-

It’s been 27 years since the Spin Doctors released Pocket Full of Kryptonite, an album that ushered in an era of coffee-shop rock and acoustic jams. Since then, the world has changed immeasurably, but songs like “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” have remained firmly lodged in the public consciousness, thanks to the catchy melodicism of singer Chris Barron. Barron’s solo work retains the lighthearted playfulness of his Doctoral days, and at Michael’s on Main he promises to bring a mix of new tunes and Spin Doctors classics. MH

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 24-30, 2018

Miss Lonely Hearts is one of those distinctly Santa Cruz-y country-ish bands leading the local roots music surge. There’s a bit of outlaw grit and honkytonk groove, mixed in with coastal mountain hippie peace and love. You might even see them sporting cowboy hats, which is making an odd sort of sense here in Santa Cruz in 2018. AC

Electronic music, traditional Middle Eastern music, and Afrobeat might seem like worlds that would never normally collide. As it turns out, Beats Antique formed a shade over a decade ago with the express purpose of blending these seemingly unblendable sounds into something resembling a cohesive vision. And it works splendidly. The East Bay band takes the hypnotic, tribal-trance-like elements of these genres to find common ground on a spiritual level.

There’s even a strong component of dance performance to really transport you to an otherworldly place.

Art, life, friendship dished up at ‘Tea With the Dames’

Y

ou know those friends you’ve had forever?

Maybe you don’t see them as often as you’d like, but you’ve shared so many adventures that whenever you get together, you pick up right where you left off, your conversation as full of vivid memories, tart observations, and raucous laughter as if you’d never been apart.

That’s kind of what it’s like going to see Tea With the Dames—a chatty and witty conversation with beloved old friends. It features four of our most acclaimed British actresses—Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, and Eileen Atkins—in the most challenging

roles of their careers: themselves.

In this irresistible documentary from veteran feature director Roger Michell, these four great ladies of stage, screen, and television (each of them honored with the title of Dame), and longtime friends in real life, get together for an afternoon of tea and conversation—always, trenchant, often hilarious—about life, love, friendship, and the craft of acting.

When the Dames get together for one of their semi-regular rendezvous, Michell and his crew tag along. They meet in the garden of the country house Plowright shared for decades with her late husband, Lord Laurence Olivier (“Larry,” to

BY LISA JENSEN

one and all). They enjoy bantering with the crew members who take an interminable time setting up each shot. (“Hurry up,” advises Smith, “we’re taking root here.”)

But soon the conversation is in full swing. The Dames discuss companies, directors, producers, and fellow players they have worked with over the years, at venues from London’s prestigious National Theater at the Old Vic, to Smith’s turn as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies, to an outdoor Mystery Play performed at York Cathedral in the medieval tradition, in which a very young Dench had a small role. A few random silent video clips from this production

are fascinating (to us, and the Dames), showing how judiciously Michell uses vintage footage from the actresses’ illustrious careers to illustrate their stories.

(Smith recounts being a young actress playing Desdemona to Olivier’s Othello in a stage production videotaped for TV. When she huffs that Larry hit her, Michell shows us the resounding slap Olivier fetched his co-star in the heat of the moment. “That was the only time I saw stars at the National Theater,” Smith declares.)

Besides shop talk (discussing how to do Shakespeare “as poetry . . . but also be naturalistic”), the women field topics suggested by Michell— from husbands and children, to the 1960s (“We didn’t need the ’60s,” says Smith; they “behaved badly” enough). When asked if they might have any advice for their younger selves, Dench offers, “When in doubt—don’t.” The delicate question of getting old is especially poignant for Plowright, whose gradual loss of vision has now curtailed her acting career, but who still has plenty of sharp observations to contribute.

Fans of Downton Abbey will be pleased to see that Smith is as deliciously acerbic in real life as her alter-ego onscreen, Dowager Countess Violet Crawley. Although they may be shocked to learn that, while gifted with a box set of the entire series on DVD, she has never actually seen the show.

But she does recall having to wear an uncomfortable period hat that was “huge—like the Albert Hall!”

Meanwhile, Dench, best known these days for playing regal queens, tells of an encounter with a young male doctor whose tone was so patronizing, she was moved to issue a blistering, scatological retort.

Tea With the Dames is a welcome timeout between the season of men in tights and testosterone action thrillers and the more serious, Oscar-bait movies to come. Grab a crumpet, pull up a chair, and refresh yourself!

TEA WITH THE DAMES With Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, and Eileen Atkins. A film by Roger Michell. (Not rated) 84 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES THE HAPPY PRINCE This biopic about Oscar Wilde was written and directed by Rupert Everett, because of course it was. Everett also stars as Wilde. Basically, all the Oscar Wilde-ing will be done

by Rupert Everett until further notice. Co-starring Colin Firth, Tom Wilkinson and Emily Watson. (R) 105 minutes. (SP)

OCTOBER 24-30, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

HUNTER KILLER I’m sure you’ve been concerned about the alarming lack of submarine movies lately. You’re not alone; in fact, many of the world’s top scientists have been working around the clock on this problem, and they’ve determined that the only possible solution is to make another submarine movie. I’m happy to report not only that Hunter Killer is a submarine movie, but also that the submarines in the movie make that boop, boop, boop noise all the time, which is an absolute must.

The plot about a U.S. submarine rescuing a Russian president to avoid World War III may not make any damn sense, but I think it’s safe to say you won’t find more boops in any film this year. Directed by Donovan Marsh. Starring Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman and Common.

(R) 121 minutes. (SP)

JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN Some people will find the idea of Rowan Atkinson playing his bumbling British spy character in a third Johnny English movie delightful. What’s that? Huh, yeah, you’re right, that sentence does work better if I replace the word “some” with “no.” Directed by David Kerr. Co-starring Ben Miller, Jake Lacy and Emma Thompson. (PG) 88 minutes. (SP) MID90S This story of a 13-year-old who discovers skateboarding as an escape from his dysfunctional family life is winning acclaim for writer-director Jonah Hill, who developed it from his own spec script. Starring Sunny Suljic, Lucas Hedges and Katherine Waterston.

(R) 84 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 A STAR IS BORN I know, I know, everybody loves Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, and they sing their own songs in this movie blah blah blah. Here’s my bottom line: you want to complain about Hollywood making endless origin stories about the same comic book characters, and in general recycling plots over and over? They have done A Star is Born like five times. And it is always the same damn movie, all the way back to when it was Janet Gaynor and Fredric March 80 years ago. A. Star. Gets. Born. Besides, is it really going to get any better than Babs Streisand and Kris Kristofferson mildly heating up the screen in the 1976 version, supported by a young, not-yet-totally-nuts Gary Busey? OK, probably. But still! Directed by Cooper, starring Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott and thankfully not Busey. (R) 135 minutes. (SP) BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE The ’90s was the Golden Age of arthouse neo-noir, when an upstart filmmaker like John Dahl could make crafty, stylish movies like Red Rock West and The Last Seduction, and David Lynch could do something as weird as Lost Highway without anybody even batting an eye. Bad Times at the El Royale, the story of an all-star cast peeling back their secrets over the course of one night, looks like a throwback to that amazing time. And considering that it’s directed by the guy who did the genre-deconstruction masterpiece The Cabin in the Woods, maybe it’s even more. Directed by Drew Goddard. Starring Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm and Chris Hemsworth. (R) 141 minutes.

(SP) COLETTE Even for an era of such

artistic and cultural ferment as the turn of the last century, famed French author Colette led an extraordinary life. A country girl who became the toast of Paris for her wildly successful, trendsetting novels, she was also an accidental advocate for equality who had to fight for the right to publish her work under her own name. In his biographical feature Colette, filmmaker Wash Westmoreland sticks to her early years in Paris, during the metamorphosis by which she would eventually turn herself into the celebrated author.

As portrayed by Keira Knightly, this Colette is all good-humored innocence and coltish bravado.

The film ends just as she's about to launch herself back into the world on her own terms, so we never get a sense of the wry wisdom of the author's maturity, but Knightley is appealing as an awakening personality in the making. Directed

by Wash Westmoreland. Starring Keira Knightley, Dominic West and Denise Gough. (R) 111 minutes.

(LJ) GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN When the trailers for Halloween movies started playing this year, was anybody else confused by the fact that the one for this movie—which does not feature Jack Black, despite the fact that Black starred in the previous Goosebumps movie—always played right after the one for The House with a Clock in its Walls, which does feature Jack Black?

Even more confusing—despite not being in the preview, Black actually does return as R.L. Stine for this second installment in the “spooky books come to life” franchise.

Of course he does! He’s in every movie now. (PG) 90 minutes. (SP) FAHRENHEIT 11/9 No matter what side of the political “aisle” you're on, you'll come away from this new Michael Moore documentary in a fighting mood.

It’s a companion piece to Moore's 2004 doc, Fahrenheit 9/11, about George W. Bush in the wake of the Twin Towers attack. But this time, Moore’s principal target is the current occupant of the White

House with plenty of outrage to spare for other issues, like the contamination of the water supply in Moore's hometown of Flint, Michigan. Or the ongoing crisis of gun violence in America, leading a band of teenage survivors of the Parkland shootings to organize a global protest march to school their ineffectual elders. As usual, Moore is preaching to the choir, but his relentless drive to connect the dots between past transgressions and current crises and expose the bad guys is as revitalizing as ever — especially in this era of lockstepping conformity among the political establishment of both parties. It’s a scorching portrait of a nation on the brink of utter chaos. (R) 128 minutes. (LJ) FIRST MAN It’s probably going to win all kinds of awards, but this biopic about Neil Armstrong is so dour and depressed that I spent most of the movie thinking about alternate titles they should have used. My favorites: Sad White Men Don’t Have Fun Going to the Moon and Waahstronauts. Directed by Damien Chazelle. Co-starring Claire Foy, Jason Clarke and Kyle Chandler. (PG-13) 141 minutes.

(SP) FREE SOLO Right now, you’re probably thinking “Wait, there’s a new Star Wars movie already?”

But oh, my friends, this is so much more insane than that. A documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold, it follows his attempt to “free solo” El Capitan. That means doing the climb without ropes, harnesses or, um, anything that would keep you from falling to your death with one wrong move. As discussed in the film, the mortality rate of free solo climbers is somewhere around 100 percent.

Forget about horror movies, this is the most harrowing film you’ll see this year. Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.

(PG-13) 100 minutes. (SP) HALLOWEEN This new sequel-ly reboot (reboot-y sequel?) to the original slasher franchise picks up where John Carpenter’s 1978 film left off, ignores all of the sequels,

and then jumps ahead 40 years to let Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode— who has become a straight-up badass in the ensuing time—battle it out with Michael Myers. Yeah, it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens, but the great thing about it is … it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens. Directed by David Gordon Green. Starring Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak. (R) 106 minutes. (SP) THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS There’s something 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) THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN Robert Redford has said that this crime comedy about Forrest Tucker, a real-life hood who escaped from prison 18 times (including San Quentin) and pulled off some highly theatrical heists, will be his last film. Directed by David Lowery. Co-starring Casey Affleck, Danny Glover and Sissy Spacek. (PG-13) 93 minutes. (SP) THE OATH This comedy from the producers of Get Out takes the typical oh-how-we-dread-holidayswith-the-relatives concept to an absurdist extreme, setting this Thanksgiving story against the backdrop of an announcement by the government that every American will have to sign a “Patriot Oath.” When political tensions escalate—to put it lightly—among the all-star comic cast, there are knives, guns and tasers involved. Directed by Ike Barinholtz. Starring Tiffany Haddish, Carrie Brownstein and John Cho. (R) 93 minutes. (SP) TEA WITH THE DAMES Reviewed this issue. 84 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK Foxx, is open for tours and tastings.

Originally planted by Dan Lester and Foxx, the 14-acre vineyard began in 1998.

Recently the Lester family began harvesting fruit for their own wines, made under the Lester Estate Wines label.

Tastings will be held at the Deer Park Ranch on Pleasant Valley Road in Aptos, in a fascinating barn filled with some of Lester’s wide-ranging collections. Flights of 2018 estate wines include three Pinots, a Rosé, and a Chardonnay. Tastings for up to eight may be arranged for Nov. 10 and Dec. 8, at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. For details email: info@ lesterestatewines.com.

PASTA OF THE WEEK

Redolent of garlic, a bowl of exceptional porcini gnocchi tossed with local dry-farmed tomatoes and cubes of eggplant made a memorable dinner last week at Gabriella Cafe. A glass of Prosecco joined by a pristine, perfect salad of tender butter lettuces added to the gastronomic delight.

Introduction to Bird Language and Brunch at India Joze, plus tours and tastings at Lester Vineyards BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

dmit it, you’ve often talked to the wild animals you encounter.

Even the birds you see along the Pogonip trail, or in your own backyard. We have scrub jays who visit us, and yes, we talk with them. You’ve probably listened in amazement at all the different vocal techniques that our sassy local crows possess. And you suspect that it all means something. Well, it does.

That wily cuisinartist Jozseph Schultz has put together a fascinating event that will help introduce you to

bird language while enjoying brunch and a morning walk. The bird language tour guide is naturalist Jeff Caplan, who also leads classes and walks for local groups including the UCSC Bird School Project. Fascinating stuff that will help you tune into what nature is saying, and how to recognize different avian voices. Sensitivity training for the next time you talk to your wild bird friends. A wonderful morning open to all, but hurry and make reservations, it’s limited to 25 participants. First a talk, then a walk along pastoral San Lorenzo River, which is currently rich

with birds visiting from Canada and South America. Then brunch at 11:30 a.m., with vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and meat options. Introduction to Bird Language + Brunch is Saturday, Nov. 10, 9am-noon, at India Joze Restaurant, 418 Front St., Santa Cruz. $35 includes class, walk and brunch (kids $15).

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

New non-Greek yogurt from Chobani.

Quite a departure for the Chobani folks, who created a trend for Greekstyle yogurt. Well, not to be outdone by themselves, the Chobanistas have now created something truly dreamy.

Ultra creamy and thick, this is yogurt that will attract even those rugged types who still consider yogurt to be sissy food. Low-fat, gluten-free, Kosher-certified, non-GMO, 120 calories per 5.3-ounce serving, it is delicious. Chobani Smooth (the fruit has been whipped in, not lying at the bottom) comes in luscious flavors such as black cherry, peach, strawberry banana, and vanilla. We love the blueberry. Find your own favorites. $2-plus at New Leaf.

Autumn is the time for Everett Family Farm’s apple cider BY LILY STOICHEFF

D

espite the apple’s year-round presence in grocery aisles, this beloved fruit definitely has its season, and it’s right now.

Biting into one of these cold, crisp, tart-sweet fruits is one of the great pleasures of Fall, especially the heirloom varieties renowned for their complex flavors. Everett Family Farm in Soquel is a purveyor of such apples, and it’s well worth a quick drive up Old San Jose Road to visit their farmstand. Not only will you find fresh apples, but also beautiful tomatoes, peppers, squash, alliums, lettuces and pasture-raised eggs from their farm.

Plus, the farmstand, clabbered in tin and nestled behind a few stillripening persimmon trees, couldn’t be any cuter if it tried.

Your cell phone will probably lose reception, but don’t be afraid of missing the turn—hand-painted signs that say things like “Taste the Rainbow!” and “Don’t Panic, It’s Organic!” will show you the way. I’ve been visiting them almost weekly this month to buy five-pound bags of Belle de Boskoop apples, a fragrant

russet-skinned heirloom variety, to make apple jelly and apple sauce. I also grab a half gallon of their freshpressed apple cider, made with a mix of Honeycrisp and Gala apples.

Truly, this fresh, sweet, fragrant juice is the ambrosia of autumn.

There’s nothing like it, and it can’t be replicated any other time of year.

Nor can it really be preserved—it’s one of the brief pleasures of the season, and I drink as much of it as I can before it’s gone for another year.

Tipping back a long, cold glass often brings to mind a line from a Robert Frost poem: “Essence of winter sleep is on the night, The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.” Apples are here, and the year is coming to an end.

That being said, Everett Family Farm also makes a beautiful hard cider—Soquel Cider, from heirloom Gravensteins—that can be enjoyed in any season. This adult beverage is crisp, dry, effervescent and delicious, and right now I like to enjoy it alongside roasted vegetables and sausages—and, of course, apples.

VALLEY SUN Lester Family Vineyards’ grapes growing on Pleasant Valley Road in Aptos.

Lester Estate A spectacular Chardonnay 2016 made from Aptos-grown grapes BY JOSIE COWDEN

I

envisioned how wonderful it would be to grow grapes and make the best wine possible—and their dream is now fulfilled. As well as Chardonnay, Lester Ranch also produces excellent Pinot Noir and a bright and beautiful Rosé of Syrah—all available by allocation due to limited quantities.

The Lester family’s release party was a splendid event, with tasting room manager Frank Cates overseeing the day’s happenings.

A healthy buffet was served by Lia Adams Events, and accomplished local musician Ken Constable played guitar.

The icing on the cake is that the estate will now be open at certain times for private and semi-private tastings. Up to 10 guests will enjoy a seated tasting featuring a five-wine flight ($25 per person)—the next dates being Nov. 10 and Dec. 8 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. or 3 p.m. Check their website for some possible events around the holidays. Their wines are stunning—and just perfect for your Thanksgiving table.

was thrilled to attend the grand opening and release party of Lester Estate Wines recently when they showcased their Pinot Noir, Rosé of Syrah and Chardonnay that day. I was impressed with all of them, but chose their 2016 Chardonnay ($45) to highlight here as it’s truly spectacular.

John Benedetti is the winemaker for the estate Chardonnay, which has a delicate nose of jasmine and white peach—along with a mélange of apricot, kiwi and lemon curd. All of these delicious flavors come together in a lush, mouth-coating richness, resulting in a lingering complex finish.

Lester Estate family members Lori and Steve Johnson both work extremely hard to showcase their wines—with Steve acting as “brand ambassador.” Well-known local viticulturalist Prudy Foxx oversees the vineyards and Keiki McKay takes care of marketing.

Lester Family Vineyards is known far and wide for growing premium grapes—always in demand by local wineries. Nestled in a bucolic setting on Pleasant Valley Road in Aptos, the Lesters’ Deer Park Ranch is a stunning place to visit. The late Dan Lester and his wife Patty Lester

THE STRUGGLE FROM DEATH TO IMMORTALITY Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 24, 2018

The autumn festivals of Light begin soon with Halloween when veils thin between worlds. We are in Scorpio now, deep, dark, mysterious and so often misunderstood. Scorpio, very complex in all of its deep watery darkness, is humanity as Hercules toiling away each day within the Twelve Labors. Scorpio is Ray 4, the Ray of Humanity—the Ray of Harmony emerging through conflict and chaos.

Ray 4 (Scorpio) is the struggle of moving from “darkness to light, from death to immortality.”

It is the struggle of spiritual growth (Evolution), to move forward and not to “fall back into old beliefs, systems and ways of being.”

Scorpio calls humanity to Discipleship. In Scorpio there is a great battle and nine great tests given to us by Mars. The personality enters into battle with the Soul. The Disciple and Soul must emerge “victorious.” The battle is not easy. The path is filled with dangers, hindrances, obstacles. The personality wants direction from the Soul, yet it doesn’t. In Libra, the choice was made to enter the battle. And so, in

Assess if there are any needs you or a partner have that are unspoken, unknown and perhaps hidden, only coming to life when conflict and chaos arise. Asking about values and needs are good questions to ask in all relationships (with self and others), and especially now.

Are there legal situations you must tend to? Carefully make plans for later implementation.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 It’s time to teach others what you know. You protect, hide and shield information until the right time comes forth, and now is that time. You cannot do what you’ve been doing alone for much longer. Are you asking others to help you? Asking them what they need in return?

Clear communication is the sign of the disciple.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Is there difficulty with concentration, communication or making contact with others? With the stars? Write down by hand what you value most in daily life? Make it into a journal. When expectations are placed upon you, explain you’re working slowly now as life has taken a sideways turn. You’ll be doing things not quite to your liking—an exercise in sacrifice. Go slow. Call an old intelligent friend.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

Scorpio the war begins.

Scorpio is not just to do battle. It is not enough that the pairs of opposites, polarized in Libra, now meet.

Scorpio must create within the self and in all environments, a Path of Harmony. This is Ray 4—a new level of harmony emerging from conflict and chaos.

Therefore, Scorpio must know both, transforming the difficulties, vicissitudes, conflicts and chaos into a new state of harmony. In Scorpio the three lights meet—the Personality, the Soul and Spirit (permanent spiritual atom). After the great battle is over these three must reintegrate, fuse and blend.

This is the secret of Scorpio and the “Fourth Way.” In all these things written here, Scorpio battles daily. Scorpio is the turning point, the reset, and the reorientation. And so now we know. (Daily studies with Risa on the Risa D’Angeles Facebook page.) carefully. What goes in, what goes out. Balance it with a thought to savings. Finances affect emotions and health. When researching investments, think gold, silver, platinum, consult a precious metals professional and don’t succumb to a situation or person that may confuse you. You may need more rest.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Suddenly your life assumes additional intensity and, being very private, you’re unable to hide the effects. To ease the discomfort of this concentrated powerful state, maintain consistent exercise, and then double it. A new self-identity and a new sense of strength is forming. Your heart petals are opening. Sometimes this hurts. Set your sights on new and distinguishing goals.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 The new life structure you’ve sought is forming within your sphere of daily work and service in the world.

Discipline yourself in the right use of energy and time.

Don’t waste these in emotional endeavors. Stay behind the scenes. Work on your own. Plan for future endeavors or perhaps do nothing at all. Don’t dabble in anything hidden.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Are you sleeping? Your appetite may increase.

Something slips into your life that makes you happier, creating a surging forth of determination and courage and a new sense of creativity. You’ll be inspired about how and where you live.Prepare for a new life to appear.

You have become orderly and organized.

Don’t take on excessive tasks lest exhaustion begins to affect your immune system. You’re capable of holding the entire world on your shoulders, but soon this becomes too heavy and quite unbearable. Create a manifestation list with your hoped-for goals and priorities, forming a magnet of energy around you.

Delays are normal. Don’t fret.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Should you feel you cannot possibly leave home, remain there quietly for a while. Tend to personal issues, things domestic like cleaning and clearing, gardening and cooking, allowing yourself also time for research.

Contact previous friends. Is there a misunderstanding to be explained, something or someone needing care and tending? Someone moves.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Make sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin B (complex), A and D, calcium and magnesium. Your appetite and feelings for food may change dramatically. Drink water with marigold flowers and mint. Monetary situations continue to unfold. New ideas stream into your mind and you ponder many ways you are creative. How many journals do you have now?

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Be sure your finances are in order. Assess them

You feel and understand humanity’s needs and sorrows, and thus bring forth new ideas, with a message of balance and harmony (and a bit of fun). You have tremendous potential to bring into form your hopes, dreams and aspirations. Focus on specific goals. It’s an excellent time for future planning. Maintain all close friends and contacts.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Piscean teachers, travelers, publishers, writers, adventurers and religious leaders are busy with schedules, plans, travel (careful!), cultural and/ or religious aims and endeavors—remembering to maintain harmony and balance into daily life. At times Pisces can feel isolated and isolating. You need a stimulus package of direction and hope. Safety is important. Find a warm pool to swim in. Know you are a focal point for saving grace.

FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT FILE NO. 2018-0001633The following Limited Liability Company is doing business as DIGGER'S PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LLC. 2825 MATTISON LN, UNIT C, SANTA CRUZ,

The passage of Measure M creates a super expensive bureaucracy which is not worth it because the number of units remain the same. Laws on the books are pro tenant.

MEASURE M is overkill.

Real estate laws are very strict and must be adhered to but MEASURE M goes beyond. Subletting should be allowed but only with the rental owner’s permission.

Damages to the property are expensive and the renter will often not have the funds to cover severe damages.

This alone shows a bias and hatred towards rental owners.

DATTA KHALSA,CABB

Another Home Inspection this week. Another reminder just how risky daily life can be.

Home used to be a place of refuge, a sanctuary from all the bad things that could happen – out there. They used to say most accidents occurred within five miles of home. But after digesting this 60-page tome of an Inspection Report, I’m not sure how anyone makes it out of their home alive these days.

I call it the 60 Minutes Syndrome. Goes something like this: Morley Safer (suspicious show biz name) does a riveting exposé on the dangers of garage door openers - the ones that pin unsuspecting children and pets helplessly underneath.

By the following week, consumer protection advocates are calling for new auto-reverse safety mechanisms.

By the following year, Home Inspectors are citing chapter and verse about brand new garage door codes. They understand (after a lawsuit or two) that if they don’t warn everyone about every possible thing that could harm them, their own asses may be in grave danger. CYA rules.

Absolute CYA rules absolutely.

Real estate has moved into strange territory. Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) has been replaced

by Caveat Venditor - Seller Beware - of all those things that can scare the heck out of potential buyers. Home Sweet Home. How can it kill, maim or injure thee? Let me count the ways…

Here are just a few of the dangers you never knew you had to worry about…until now: - Does your oven have an anti-tip device? Ever seen an oven fall over on someone? Not pretty.

- That naked light bulb hanging in your closet?

Stack those sweaters high enough and it’s a fire waiting to happen.

- That old dryer vent? It’s filling up with combustible layers of lint as we speak.

- How many dyslexic plumbers have installed hot and cold water lines backwards? A special invitation to unexpected scaldings.

- Is every stairway a potential stairway to heaven? Risers too high? Too wide? Treads uneven?

Handrails too wide to grip?

- Deck rails more than 4 inches apart? That’s just wide enough for small heads to get stuck.

And the list goes on...GFCIs. CO2 Detectors.

Smoke Alarms. Pool Alarms. Ban all extension cords. Install tempered glass. Clamp open the damper on your gas fireplace. Replace the sharp screws in your electrical panel.

When I was growing up, all we had to fear was the atomic bomb. As long as we listened to Bert the Turtle and remembered to duck and cover and didn’t stare directly into the blast, we were fine. Everything else was gravy.

I was a student at Harbor High. I was taking a cooking class and needed supplies, so this is where I came to get them. My family is from Northern England — I had lived there — and I recognized all these familiar items that I hadn’t seen anywhere else in Santa Cruz.That’s what got me hooked into Shopper’s. Out of all the stores in the area, Shopper’s has remained my go-to, especially for meats: love their amazing trip-tips and marinated skirt steaks, the quality choices of chicken, and the various cuts of pork and the fish, which is always fresh.

What do you like to cook? My wife is a great all-around cook. I’m more of a breakfast guy. I do French toast, pancakes and some potato dishes. I do cook meat well; either on the barbecue or in a cast iron skillet.Though we now live in Las Lomas, I still shop here. Shopper’s produce — I try to only buy organic foods — is fresh, clean and it’s well maintained. I believe that someone needs to be passionate about produce in order for it to thrive. Shopper’s must have that person!

I’m a also a fan of their breads, cheeses, hot sauces, chocolates, wines, Henry Weinhard sodas, and, oh, their pickles.

Pickles? I love pickles! Shopper’s is the only place that carries my favorite garlic dills!

Shopper’s serves so many locals who only shop here.They also attract people who may shop elsewhere but also come here because they cannot find certain unique specialty products anywhere else but Shopper’s.They have the best stocking stuffers! Being locally owned, Shopper’s knows what people want, and they know how to hire. I work in customer service so I know.The staff has always been nice.You shop here long enough and they know your name. I like the store size — there’s no getting lost on aisle 20!
