OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Halloween issues are always fun, but usually we run something about ghosts, hauntings and other things that go bump in the night. This year, we thought we’d delve into a different rich vein of spooky fun: aliens. The trick is that Wallace Baine’s cover story about Frank Drake, the founder of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, is actually a serious and thoughtful look at the

POINTS AT THE HEART

4

I think a lot about the housing situation of the many people I depend on to make my life work well. I depend on the medical assistant at my healthcare clinic, the server at my favorite café, the young teacher at my niece’s school, the worker who maintains my favorite parks, the farmworker who picks the vegetables I eat, and the ambulance driver who might someday assist my family.

I want my neighbor’s daughter, who’s lived here her whole life and helps disabled seniors, to be able to remain here. If these family members and neighbors and service providers aren’t able to live somewhere in the county, the quality of our lives will be diminished.

These points are at the heart of why so many, including homeowners like me, support Measure H, which will provide affordable housing for working families and vulnerable people in our community. Vote Yes on H. DON LANE | SANTA CRUZ

EFFECTS OF RENT CONTROL Google the long term effects of rent control and you will find studies that show that after a few years it reduces the supply of rentals, which leads to higher rents. Having lived through the inception of rent control in Santa Monica in the ’70s, I can agree with that and some other findings. Landlords gravitated to the most affluent tenants who

state of our understanding of the universe. NBD! The treat is … well, that it’s a serious and thoughtful look at the state of our understanding of the universe.

And that Drake himself is such a fascinating figure. And that SETI is experiencing a rebirth right now, and the future is bright for the science of interplanetary relations.

This week is also our final installment of the election guide that we’ve been doling out over the last three weeks. Kudos to Jacob Pierce and the whole news team for an excellent job on a huge task. Don’t forget to vote Nov. 6!

would often pay for their own maintenance.

The weekly papers which preceded Craigslist had many ads offering “key fees,” thousands of dollars for referrals to rent-controlled apartments. Apartment buildings were abandoned, unpainted and landscaping nonexistent. And some folks on fixed incomes or low incomes were allowed to stay.

Santa Cruz needs lots of new affordable apartments. Compared to other coastal cities, we have lots of vacant land and low-rise buildings. The city government can make this happen by expediting the permit process and taxing vacant land and providing public housing for the poor. Telling someone what to charge for something they own is cumbersome and counterproductive.

PAUL COCKING | SANTA CRUZ

HOLD OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE Now that election time is here, I’m thinking back to a piece Jacob Pierce wrote months ago about the Grand Jury and the work it does looking into problems in our government (GT, 7/3). One of their reports released in May focused on San Lorenzo Valley Water District, investigated for various misdeeds, including lack of appropriate oversight reporting on assessment funds and mishandling of projects, poor communications skills and an adversarial response to the public on a variety of issues, including trying to stifle the public’s right to speak, and in continuing to use cancer-linked >8

CHIC PEAK

KEYED IN

Volunteers have opened the Annual Holiday Gift Shop at Valley Churches United in Ben Lomond for the season. This year’s experience includes an “exquisite shabby chic décor,” according to a press release from executive director Lynn Robinson. The store has toys, jewelry, vintage items, Christmas decorations, and household items. Through Christmas Eve, it is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds support the Valley Churches United food pantry. For more information, call 336-8258.

The city has shuttered its homeless camp on River Street, and with it the Harvey West storage facility. Luckily, the Warming Center’s Brent Adams and other activists have started the Day & Night Storage Program. Located at 150 Felker St. Suite H, in Santa Cruz, the center will throw a party 7:30-9:30 p.m on Saturday, Nov. 3. There will be “scrumptious appetizers,” juice, and “adult libations,” according to a press release from Adams, who says the program has been operating for five months.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 31 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted.

You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiritual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

GEMINI May21–June20 “Most of our desires are clichés, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

6

If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise, or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them.

That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 “Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” —Julio Cortázar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets.” —Anne Carson 3.

“My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” —Rabindranath

Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” —Anne Michaels

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence, and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places.

It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them.

I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks. I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun, and knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do.

Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.”

And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921– 2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing!

A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.

glyphosate in our wellfield watershed. This report was preceded by a district scandal about board actions and misuse of funds, (GT 12/21/16), and a 2013-14 Grand Jury investigation which blasted the same water district for “lack of financial and operational oversight.” This is sounding all too familiar for weary SLV ratepayers, saddled last year with perhaps the highest water rates in the county, and a board who cannot get a grip on sensible budgets and spending.

The Grand Jury has no enforcement power, and thus five months after their report, the water district board has yet to follow up or enact any of the corrective actions they

agreed to in their required response to Judge John Gallagher. The Grand Jury says we as citizens must be the watchdogs that hold our government agencies accountable. For SLV ratepayers, that opportunity comes this November election, breaking the cycle by retiring incumbents out, and voting in three new highly qualified board candidates experienced in sound financial oversight, to carry on important district work into the future.

I’m grateful we have a Grand Jury, and thankful we can bring about positive change in our local governments- by the power of our vote.

WAMM’s new garden of heirloom cannabis breathes new life into compassionate use BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

A

s the afternoon sun crests a ridge of redwoods, it sets the spindly leaves of some 120 cannabis plants aflame in every shade of green imaginable. A closer look at the foliage reveals purples, reds, yellows, and the oranges and browns of fine crystalline fur. Here, on a sundrenched slope high above Boulder Creek, is a pristine garden of cannabis so diverse its flowering colas span every continent except Antarctica.

“Amazingly, there seem to be cannabis appreciators in every nook and cranny of this planet where

they can grow it. Each one is a living expression of their culture, terrain, and intent,” says Jeff Nordahl, who is hosting this garden of 25 heirloom strains for Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM). The owner of Jade Nectar, a small cannabis farm that produces nonpsychoactive tinctures for various medicinal uses, Nordahl says he hadn’t touched cannabis for 10 years before he rediscovered it as the only thing that gave him relief from a long battle with Lyme disease, and began growing it.

“I’ve been collecting and amassing seeds for a while, but

never had an opportunity to pop them,” says Nordahl. “Each one is a mystery. We didn’t know what any of these were going to turn into. You could read about them on the internet, but you didn’t know.

So, now, we know,” he says.

As large monocrops set the tone for post-legalization profits, WAMM’s new garden is a unique oasis far from commercial ag drift, where, in the absence of pressure to generate revenue, quality of experience and preservation of strains on the fast track to extinction avail over the trend to grow bigger, faster, more potent varieties.

“These aren’t designed for maximizing yield. They’re actually the antithesis of a production plant,” says Nordahl. “Smell this one,” he says, of the sweet-smelling Malawi Gold, a sativa from Africa.

“That is probably my favorite.” But he’ll say the same about several other strains as we walk through a virtual spice rack of cannabis, paying homage to Jamaica’s Natural Mystic, Afghan Gold, Tajikistani, the zany looking Zamal, Columbian Gold—a strain many boomers will remember from the ’70s—and so many others. >12 “My sense, just by

experiencing some of the plants that we’ve already harvested,” says Nordahl, “is that you’re getting a much broader spectrum of cannabinoids. And, in the end, are we just trying to impress people with lab results that show 30 percent or higher THC numbers?

My sense is that actually something in the 15-percent range of THC with a whole wide spectrum of other plant compounds, cannabinoids and terpenes, is actually going to be a much richer experience than a onedimensional wall of THC.” Beyond being a living museum for long-cherished domesticated and landrace strains, the garden also thrums with a sweet irony: the people among us who need cannabis the most, but can’t afford it after legalization, will now have access to some of the rarest heirloom strains in the world. For free.

“This garden is a thank you gift to WAMM,” says Nordahl. “For its commitment. Instead of backing off or cutting some deal when they were raided by the feds all those years ago, they stood up for what they believed in. If they had backed down, no change would have come.”

Valerie Corral, co-founder of WAMM and co-author of Prop 215, sits at a picnic table under an oak tree, overlooking the expanse of green. In contrast to our last meeting in the sleepless throes of uncertainty just before legalization, Corral is glowing with gratitude.

Which is not uncommon for her, but there’s something else, too— she’s excited. Corral did not know Nordahl when he approached her about hosting the garden, but the door he opened, along with his shared values for the plant as medicine, couldn’t have led to a more synergistic collaboration.

“This has opened up WAMM,” says Corral. “It’s much more of a shared journey. It always has been.

But now that it’s legal, we have to speak in different terms. It’s an investment in true return for gifting. It gives the opportunity for everybody to give.” The garden is closer to the original WAMM garden in its variety, she says, and she and

Nordahl look forward to companion planting with other medicinal herbs in the years to come.

There were times last year that Corral thought she might even leave Santa Cruz, but that’s all changed, and the only move WAMM is making now is across town to the Sullivan Building on Soquel Avenue early next year. “The dispensary will be a small part of it, and then the rest of it will be a community center for health awareness,” says Corral. WAMM’s new center will offer palliative care, workshops and potlucks on all topics of health, including regular visits from Nonna Marijuana, Corral’s 95-year-old mother of YouTube fame.

“No single thing heals,” says Corral.

“I’m so grateful to the city and the county for the recognition, and honoring the work, and trusting.”

She adds that it has always been in her mind that new WAMMs would pop up in other communities, “but now it’s far more practical than it has ever been before.”

The garden takes up only a tiny fraction of Nordhal’s 250-acre property, the site of a former camp in disrepair that was overgrown with Scotch broom when he bought it. “Not one single tree is being taken down,” he says. “The entire property is a beautiful sanctuary in nature. We want to preserve that and be the most responsible stewards of the land as possible.”

The botanical garden is the cornerstone of a slowly blossoming dream: a regenerative and sustainable Jade Grove Farm & Wellness Center. In time, individuals will be able to make reservations to come out and spend a day decompressing in nature, taking hikes through the forest, sweating in saunas, learning about (and consuming) landrace strains of cannabis, and absorbing plant energy of all kinds.

“We see cannabis as a gateway to plant medicine,” says Nordahl. “If we can provide access to this plant in the purest way that we know, and if this can benefit people’s lives and connect them to nature in some way, that is the magic we’re after.”

NEWS ABUSIVE POWER California Attorney General launches investigation into Catholic clergy abuse

OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

It took decades for Joey Piscitelli to come forward with his story of abuse and another three years after that to take his accused rapist, Father Stephen Whelan, to court. But the Salesians of Don Bosco—the Catholic order that employed Whelan at a Bay Area all-boys high school where he was said to have assaulted Piscitelli from 1969 to 1971—treated the allegations as a joke.

In closing arguments during a 2006 jury trial, the Salesians compared Piscitelli to James Frey, the author who famously tried to pass off his novel A Million Little Pieces as a gritty addiction memoir. The defense produced a short video, which showed a mock book cover titled My Story of Abuse by Joey Piscitelli before flashing the word “fiction” in big, bold letters across the screen.

“They just made a mockery out of it,” Piscitelli, a 63-year-old East Bay resident, recalls. “Their lead attorney would laugh at me.”

Though he ultimately won two appeals and a $600,000 judgment, it wasn’t until a dozen years later—at 2 p.m. on Sept. 26— that he felt a measure of vindication.

That was the day last month when highranking officials from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra’s office, in response to a Sept. 8 letter from Piscitelli, summoned him, two fellow Bay Area members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests—known as SNAP—and two from bishop-accountability.org to a 20th-floor conference room in a secure building on Harrison Street in downtown Oakland.

Melanie Fontes Rainer, a special assistant and chief healthcare adviser to Becerra, and AG researcher Daniel Bertoni joined them at a long oval conference table along with a handful of investigators in expensive-looking suits. From a wide screen on the wall, about 10 other state agents teleconferenced in for the meeting.

“We did most of the talking,” Piscitelli says.

“They asked us about clergy exchanging child porn on the internet, taking kids from county to county or across state lines. They wanted to know which bishops were responsible for certain decisions to relocate known abusers.

They wanted to know about human trafficking, child trafficking.” >18

WELL DEM After 26 years in the U.S. Senate, Dianne Feinstein has her most formidable challenger yet in Kevin de León, who’s termed out of his state Senate seat.

A breakdown of candidates running to represent Santa Cruz County in state and national offices BY LAUREN HEPLER [This is part three of our guide to the Nov. 6 election. — Editor]

U.S. SENATE DIANNE FEINSTEIN DEMOCRAT For 26 years, Dianne Feinstein has represented California in the U.S. Senate. Feinstein has long been a formidable presence in controversial national debates, from a 10-year assault weapon ban she has spent the last several years trying to revive to battles over post-9/11 surveillance measures. Most recently, it was

Feinstein’s office that fielded sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Feinstein is attempting to weather appeals for a post-Trump shakeup of the Democratic Party by touting a record of both state and national advocacy. She is emphasizing support for the Affordable Care Act, women’s health and immigrant rights.

KEVIN DE LEÓN DEMOCRAT After ascending the ranks in Sacramento, California Sen. Kevin de León has painted himself as the Golden State incarnation of the Bernie

Sanders progressive wave. A native of San Diego, de León speaks often about growing up with his Guatemalan single mother and struggling to pay for housing, education and health care.

In his first bid for federal office, he won the California Democratic Party endorsement over Feinstein, attacking the complacency of Washington politicians and the number of millionaires in the U.S. Senate. “The Washington status quo is either unwilling or incapable of fighting back,” de León wrote in his candidate statement. “Californians deserve a Senator who will fight for their futures.” >16

After 13 terms in Congress, Rep. Anna Eshoo shook up her congressional leadership roles last year, relinquishing her ranking position on the Communications and Technology Subcommittee to focus on health care.

Now, in her campaign for re-election to represent the 18th District spanning the counties of Santa Cruz, San Mateo and Santa Clara, Eshoo has been targeted by drug pricing watchdog Patients for Affordable Drugs Action, which has stated that it planned to spend $500,000 to oppose Eshoo for “cozy ties to the drug industry.” Eshoo, meanwhile, has raised $1.3 million for her campaign, including more than $136,000 from pharmaceutical and health care companies. Eshoo is also attempting to head off discontent with the status quo, offering a “We Can Do Better” list of eight priorities for Capitol Hill, including overturning the Citizens United decision on campaign spending, barring former lawmakers from becoming lobbyists, outlawing gerrymandering and passing an updated Voting Rights Act.

CHRISTINE RUSSELL REPUBLICAN A Silicon Valley chief financial officer, 18th District challenger Christine Russell is putting fiscal restraint front and center in her campaign to upset 13-term incumbent Rep. Anna Eshoo. Russell, who has served as finance chief for tech companies including UniPixel, Vendavo, EAG, Virage Logic and OuterBay Technologies, is running on a platform to re-examine government from the ground up. Her campaign website includes a plan to “have all the agencies come before a committee and justify their existence and their budget.” Russell has also argued that “Technology should be introduced into the operations of all agencies” to cut costs and increase efficiency.

spending on safety net programs like social security. He did not file an official candidate statement in the 2018 race.

JIMMY PANETTA DEMOCRAT U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta is seeking a second term in Congress after winning the seat of former Central Coast Rep. Sam Farr in 2016. Panetta, son of former Secretary of State and CIA Director Leon Panetta, worked as a deputy district attorney in Monterey County after completing a tour in Afghanistan in 2007 as a Navy Reserve intelligence officer.

Currently a member of House committees on armed services and agriculture, Panetta has raised $1.1 million for his re-election campaign, including from donors in the ag business, banking and national defense. His platform centers on immigration reform with a pathway to U.S. citizenship, protecting the Central Coast environment by advocating for climate action and against offshore drilling. He is endorsed by a range of Democratic Party and labor groups. “I’ll continue to bring energy and new ideas to Congress and work together with all sides to get things done,” Panetta said in a candidate statement.

RONALD PAUL KABAT NO PARTY PREFERENCE Tax accountant and independent challenger Ronald Paul Kabat is contesting Panetta’s seat with a campaign focused on building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, reversing immigration sanctuary city policies and advocating for a government effort to build new housing units for homeless veterans. Kabat, who also ran for this same seat against Sam Farr in 2014, says he’s not accepting campaign funds from political action committees (PACs), labor unions or businesses. Still, his campaign website asserts that he is endorsed by the anti-property tax group the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association PAC. In addition to his hardline immigration stances, which his website says includes creating “a biometric tracking system” to monitor people with U.S. visas, Kabat is critical of government

STATE ASSEMBLY, 29TH DISTRICT MARK STONE DEMOCRAT Environmental protection and housing have been two dominant issues for Mark Stone since he joined the state Assembly in 2012—and he expects it to stay that way if re-elected to represent the 29th district covering the coast of Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, plus a swath of San Jose. An attorney and former county supervisor and coastal commissioner from Scotts Valley, Stone counts climate resilience issues like sea-level rise among those he has prioritized, along with reform for foster youth and juvenile justice.

Should he return to Sacramento, Stone says he expects housing issues, such as state funding for local construction projects, to grow in urgency. “Whether it’s service workers, teachers—the people who make our economy work are not always able to live close to where they work,” he says.

VICKI L. NOHRDEN REPUBLICAN District 29 Republican challenger Vicki Nohrden is aiming to parlay past involvement in the Central Coast justice system into a campaign for state assembly that puts public safety front and center. “I felt like I could make a difference,” says Nohrden, who is endorsed by area Republican groups, the California Pro-Life Council and Santa Cruz County Supervisor Greg Caput.

“We’ve come to this place where across our district, it’s really been about party politics.” Since moving to the Monterey Peninsula in the 1980s, Nohrden has led family outreach for Monterey County Jail and the juvenile justice system. She’s also serves as a court appointed special advocate for foster youth. She hopes to reassert law enforcement authority and curb further government involvement in housing and homelessness. >18

ABUSIVE POWER <14 Finally, he thought, a moment of reckoning would come.

The long-running Catholic clergy sex abuse scandal burst into public view with the Boston Globe’s storied “Spotlight” investigation in 2002 and Metro Silicon Valley’s reporting on the San Jose Diocese in the early 1990s. But the recent 900-page civil grand jury report exposing extensive coverups involving 300 “predator priests” abusing 1,000 children at six dioceses in Pennsylvania seems to mark an inflection point.

While individual priests have been charged with crimes by local police and some complicit superiors pushed into retirement by the powers that be, the U.S. government never probed the criminality of higher-ranking church leadership or organizational practices that exposed children to known abusers.

With the Justice Department launching a federal inquiry into clergy abuse in

Pennsylvania this past month, law enforcement has fundamentally altered its relationship with the U.S. Catholic Church by reclaiming authority from the Vatican to police for its stateside criminal activities.

David Hickton, former U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, told CNN that based on questions authorities are asking about human trafficking and child porn, he believes prosecutors are planning a racketeering case against church officials—the same tactic used to take down organized crime syndicates.

Now, it appears that Becerra’s agents are looking into similar problems in California, which houses the largest population of Catholic clergy and parishioners in the country.

Renewed public outrage and intense legal scrutiny prompted Catholic church officials to make an effort to come clean. When the San Jose Diocese last week released the names of 15 priests credibly accused of sexual misconduct and pedophilia, Bishop Patrick

McGrath said the move marked the end of “a culture of secrecy in the church” and the start of an era of transparency and accountability.

Events over the ensuing days made McGrath’s gesture look like something else entirely—less a show of good faith than a cynical attempt to get ahead of a fastdeveloping story and an unprecedented multijurisdictional criminal probe into clergy abuse.

Most of the abuse alleged against the list of 15 priests took place decades ago, with the most recent case in the early 2000s. Only six of the named priests are still alive: Don Flickinger, Robert Gray, Angel Mariano, Alexander Larkin, Phil Sunseri and Hernan Toro. Seven had not previously been publicly identified as abusers. At least two— Toro, who’s in San Jose’s Main Jail on new molestation charges, and Leonel Noia— were reassigned to the ministry even after being criminally convicted of sex abuse.

It quickly became clear, however, that McGrath left a lot out.

The diocese failed to mention clergy accused of abusing adults. It also failed to name priests not directly authorized by the diocese, such as Society of St. Pius X priest Benedict Van der Putten, who allegedly molested a teen girl in 2000 at St. Aloysius Retreat House in Los Gatos.

Last week, the Mercury News published an exposé about an exorcist at Santa Clara’s Our Lady of Peace accused of sexually abusing a rape survivor from late 2011 through 2012. The priest, Rev. Gerardus Hauwert Jr., reportedly offered to help the victim when she went to confession seeking forgiveness for a trauma-induced sex addiction.

Two days later, Jeff Anderson & Associates, a Minnesota-based law firm, unveiled a 66-page report naming 263 priests in San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco dioceses credibly accused of sexually abusing kids. Using open-source data, the first-of-its-kind report identifies 135 accused abusers in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, 95 in Oakland and 33 in the San Jose diocese.

The Bay Area dioceses “subjected its parishioners to a public safety nightmare,” the Anderson report claims, calling the San Jose Diocese a “dumping ground” for “deviant priests.”

Historically, the Bay Area dioceses, like many of their counterparts throughout the state and around the nation, knew full well that priests endangered children and vulnerable adults but chose to keep their crimes secret, according to the Anderson report. Strict internal policies kept the scope of the problem hidden from the public throughout much of the 1980s and 1990s, despite government mandated reporting laws.

Over the past 15 years, policymakers have resisted laws to extend the statute of limitations for abuse survivors. Gov. Jerry Brown, who trained to be a Jesuit priest, vetoed two such bills, to the dismay of SNAP and other victim advocacy groups.

Jeff Anderson, who represents sexual assault survivor Thomas Emens in a suit filed earlier this month in Los Angeles County Superior Court against all 12 of California’s Catholic bishops, including San Jose’s McGrath, says the church continues to hide information about sexually abusive priests.

The lawsuit claims that the bishops continue to move problem priests between and among dioceses without notifying the community.

That shuffling around makes it difficult to determine their whereabouts—even now.

“As far as I know,” Piscitelli says, “my abuser is still out there. And that’s a shame.”

CARING PEOPLE...CARING FOR PETS

REPUBLICAN “I have a very eclectic background,” says rancher, forest manager, home health care business owner, former arena football player, and District 30 Assembly candidate Neil Kitchens.

A political newcomer running as a Republican, Kitchens moved to the Salinas Valley at age 19 from Arkansas.

He says a family background in forest management instilled a desire to more actively maintain and add emergency paths to area forests, which he blames “tree huggers” for making more vulnerable to wildfires.

Kitchens similarly argues that firsthand experience running mental institutions after Reagan-era slashes to state psychiatric services has been similarly enlightening. “I’ve been on the ground doing this stuff, working with people,” Kitchens says, criticizing Sacramento lawmakers for “soft on crime” stances. “Nothing that we do here in California makes sense to me,” says Kitchens. “The rest of the country mocks and laughs at us, and I love this area.”

After surviving a contentious Democratic primary and some $300,000 in opposition spending by oil and gas industry firms, San Benito County Supervisor and anti-fracking advocate Robert Rivas has entered the final phase of his campaign to replace termed-out Assemblymember Anna Caballero. Rivas, who grew up with his Mexican mother in farm worker housing near Hollister, is now endorsed by neighboring District 29 Assemblymember Mark Stone, state Sen. Bill Monning and the California Democratic Party. In his bid for statewide office, Rivas has hinged his campaign on advocating for adding jobs while maintaining affordability and improving infrastructure and access to social services like health care. “We need to give our communities the resources to keep our neighborhoods safe,” Rivas said in a campaign statement.

Closer to t Encounte After decades of muddling along in survival mode, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has rediscovered its swagger

BY WALLACE BAINE

Frank Drake may have opinions on the first two—who doesn’t? On the third, though, he might be as close to an empirical answer as any person, living or dead, has ever been. In the broad field of study known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), Drake is the essential figure.

In fact, he’s SETI’s George Washington.

Almost 60 years ago, as a young Harvard-educated physicist, he conducted SETI’s first serious experiment, convened its first all-star scientific conference and drew up the famous Drake Equation that forms the fundamental framework scientists still use to estimate the number of technologically advanced civilizations that might exist in our galaxy.

Now, at 88, Drake is tracking from his home in Santa Cruz County an unlikely turn of events only slightly less miraculous than contact with an alien species: A second life for SETI.

THE GREAT MARTIAN CHASE In 1993, Congress zeroed out government funding for the SETI program administered by NASA; the program was lampooned by the senator who introduced the amendment to kill it as “The Great Martian Chase.” From that point forward, SETI was pushed to science’s back burner, muddling along on inconsistent private donations and struggling to maintain research momentum.

But today things are dramatically different for SETI, largely thanks to Russian-born Silicon Valley venture capitalist Yuri Milner—who was born the same year as the Drake Equation, and was named after Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. In 2015, Milner announced the establishment of Breakthrough Listen, an enormous moonshot SETI project to which he has pledged $100 million.

THE ALIENIST Frank Drake speaks at Cornell University in October of last year.

<21 “It’s changed everything,” says Drake. “We’re not scrounging around trying to raise money anymore. He’s guaranteed $10 million a year for 10 years. One of the problems we’ve had is that we could never plan for the future. We couldn’t create a program beyond a year because we never had the funding. Now we do.”

Does this mean that Close Encounters is now close? Probably not, say some who are involved in SETI. But the Breakthrough Listen funding, along with access to new and powerful telescopes, represents an expanding of vision.

Where once we were looking through a narrow window in a small room, now we can step outside to see a bigger piece of sky.

THE BEAUTIFUL EQUATION Before 1960, American pop culture was awash in aliens, especially at the drive-in theater—It Came From Outer Space, The Thing From Another World, Invasion of the Saucer Men, among many others all exploited a template established by the H.G.

Wells novel War of the Worlds.

At the time, the idea of life elsewhere in the universe was firmly in the realm of cheesy scifi paranoia, but that was merely a sign of the times. Contemplating other worlds has been a human preoccupation for eons. As far back as 300 B.C., the Greek philosopher Epicurus was pushing the idea that there must be other worlds like our own.

But before the Drake Equation, no one had applied the rigor of science to the question.

“Frank turned into a science,” says astrophysicist Andrew Siemion, the director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center. “He took something that was at the time philosophically important—almost a religious question—and brought it into the realm of modern scientific inquiry.”

Siemion occupies the Bernard M. Oliver Chair of SETI Research at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, and is a lead researcher at Breakthrough Listen. “It’s impossible to overstate Frank’s importance to the field on so many

levels,” he says. “He was the general in the battle to create the field, and he was the statesman that allowed it to flourish.”

In 1960 at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia, Drake aimed a radio telescope at two nearby stars to see if he might be able to detect radio waves coming from other civilizations. He called the experiment Project Ozma, borrowed from L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz. The idea was simple: Radio signals on certain frequencies can leave a planet’s atmosphere and, theoretically, travel to distant points in the galaxy, thus providing proof of a technological civilization. (Some of our civilization’s earliest, and thus farther out in space, signals are broadcasts of Nazi propaganda including Hitler speeches, providing a potentially awkward moment if they ever reach otherworldly ears).

In ’61, Drake presided over a secret meeting at Green Bank featuring some of the marquee names in the field—including a young Carl Sagan—in a meeting that SETI people like to call “The Order of the Dolphin,” because the work of one of the attendees was an attempt to decode dolphin language.

From that meeting came the Drake Equation, which even today is to SETI scientists what Stairway to Heaven is to fans of dad rock: That One Thing Everybody Knows.

The Drake Equation is less an equation to be solved and more of a way to think about the probabilities of communicating with an alien culture. It is essentially a string of variables, each one narrowing the probabilities that any given Earth-bound scientist on any given day might encounter a radio signal from another world. The variables include the number of stars like the sun; the number of those stars with a planetary system; the number of planets in those systems in a habitable zone for life; the number of those planets where life is likely to have emerged in some way; the number of those life-friendly planets in which “intelligent” life might have evolved; the number of the

intelligent-life planets that might have developed technology that could be transmitted and detected; and the length of time civilizations are likely to last. “[The equation] is not really about a number,” says astrophysicist Griffin Foster, another Breakthrough Listen researcher. “It’s more about a philosophy.” Foster says the beauty of the equation is how it invites engaged minds from other sciences and even the humanities. Some of the variables are less about physics than about biology and chemistry.

What constitutes “intelligent” life or a “technological” society is something that social scientists can chew on. And the length of time that a civilization typically lasts is a question for the historian.

“It’s not for any single individual to solve,” says Foster. “It’s a societal question. The scope of the problem is so big that it’s not about trying to find some basic law of physics, but really about how we fit in the universe.”

The Drake Equation is durable even in other fields, such as exoplanet research or astrobiology, the field that explores planets in the “Goldilocks zone” for signs of water or other indicators of primitive life.

MIT’s Sara Seager, one of the most prominent exoplanet researchers in the field, has come up with a riff on Drake’s equation (yep, it’s the Seager Equation) that is more adaptable to her interests.

“I asked him about it,” she says by phone from her office at MIT. “I just wanted to make sure it was all OK with him. No one wants to have someone take their work and mangle it. What I’ve done is more of a tribute [to the Drake Equation] than anything else. He was actually very nice about it.”

SKY NEWS Drake has been searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence since he was a young astronomer at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia.

<24 Amahl. It is a stained-glass window version of “The Arecibo Message,” a pictorial illustration transmitted into space in 1974 from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.

The message, designed by Drake, transmits information about atoms, DNA, and the basics of the solar system.

It looks like the crudest prototype of a videogame, and Drake himself says, “In my judgment, it’s pretty bad.” But it’s been hurtling out into space at the speed of light for 44 years. No one else can make such a claim for their interior décor.

A few years after creating the Arecibo Message, Drake was also involved in the creation of “the Golden Record,” a double-disc copperplate phonograph recording featuring a number of sounds and music to represent Earth, from Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode. The recording was packed onboard the Voyager space probe, which today is the most distant

human-made object from Earth.

“There’s long sections of sounds from Earth: chainsaws, airplanes, babies crying,” says Drake, hovering over a replica of the Golden Record, speculating on some potential curious alien intercepting the Voyager. “Once they figure out how to use the stylus, we tell them how fast to spin the record.”

Even before Breakthrough Listen, Drake was not prone to sit around wallowing in nostalgia. His CV is peppered with honors and prestigious positions in the sciences.

The former Dean of Natural Sciences at UC Santa Cruz has also sat for years on the board of the SETI Institute.

But Breakthrough Listen has given an adrenaline boost to Drake’s lifelong quest to find evidence of other civilizations. Not only has Milner’s millions brought new muscle to SETI, but the new, bleeding-edge MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, which launched just three

CLOSER TO ENCOUNTERS <26 months ago, promises to open up vast new possibilities for the project.

The MeerKAT, the Parkes Telescope in Australia and the Green Bank Telescope, at the site where SETI was born with Project Ozma, are the three major points where Breakthrough Listen has raised the stakes of listening in on the universe’s radio waves.

Griffin Foster, a researcher at Oxford University who is also a visiting scholar at the Berkeley SETI Research Center and has worked for Breakthrough Listen at MeerKAT in South Africa, says the approach of Breakthrough Listen has been primarily to spend its time and money on the big telescopes.

“There was a lot of talk about the best way to scale this up,” he says.

“The idea was let’s not just fund some research project. Let’s buy telescope time. Let’s do thousands of hours of observing. And instead of looking at just a few stars, let’s look at thousands. And now with MeerKAT, we can look at millions of stars.”

In less than 60 years, SETI has gone from analyzing one radio channel to using spectrum analyzers that can handle 10 billion channels at one time. And yet the work is still the same: to look for electromagnetic signals that are different from those natural objects produce.

“The only thing that’s different about [Breakthrough] Listen from what Frank did,” says Andrew Siemion, “is simply scale and intensity. We’re doing more and more observing, with better instruments and faster computers.

But we’re still using the Drake Equation. We can plot Frank’s experiments on a graph with the experiments we do today, and we can make comparisons between them because his experiments are as fundamentally and scientifically credible today as they were back in 1960 when he was doing them.”

The telescopes in the Southern Hemisphere are especially valuable, because, from a SETI point of view, that’s the most compelling angle at which to view the Milky Way. “What’s interesting about the

Southern Hemisphere,” says Foster, “is that’s where you can see the galactic center the best. If there’s an extraterrestrial technology out there, they might put beacons near the galactic center. So, that’s a very exciting region to look at.”

“SETI is much better and in a more stable state than it has ever been,” says Drake. “The rate we’re observing now, we’re doing as much searching in a couple of days as we did with all the previous searching put together.”

WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL Frank Drake is a scientist, which means he doesn’t have much use for fantasy. In the Hollywood narrative, when the friendly advanced civilization finally answers our call, Frank would be the respected elder flown in by helicopter by the president for the honor of representing the Earth.

“The idea that you’re going to communicate, that you’re going to ask questions and get answers, that’s absurd,” he says. “That’s not going to happen. The nearest technological civilization is probably a thousand light-years away. That means any signal you get is already going to be a thousand years old. The hope is that you can detect a signal through the noise, watch their television, so that you can learn a lot about them without asking them anything.”

Drake says he’s an optimist, that in 10 to 20 years, given the vast space the new instruments will be covering, we may have some evidence of another technological civilization, even if it’s a longextinct one.

“Mathematically, there has to be,” he says. “To say the universe is an empty void is not only presumptuous, but stupid. I think there may be an earlier discovery, that we’ll find [primitive] life elsewhere in the solar system. That will make concrete that the origins of life are common.”

As for SETI, says Drake: “It’s a lottery. The chance of winning is still very remote. But we’re buying a whole lot of tickets.”

make sure he can’t get caught up in the details, even if he wants to.

“Cover the canvas quick and don’t muddy the colors,” he says between wide brush strokes. I sip my coffee and wonder when the blobs will turn into something more than a shape.

An hour later, the patches of deep brown and strips of blue have turned into a landscape, with crashing foamy waves and a beautifully earthy cliffside. Toggling between the real landscape and his painting, I’m ashamed of my doubt.

Hamill is one of around 40 plein air painters participating in this weekend’s Capitola Plein Air Festival.

He’s taken part every year since the event started four years ago and says since the plein air community is relatively tight knit, it’s an opportunity for the painters to say hello while focusing in on one subject matter—Capitola. Plein air artists will be stationed all around the city for three days while visitors come by and watch the paintings come to life.

“With plein air you can start to observe the world in a different way—in a beautiful way,” Hamill says, gesturing to the cliffside. “Look at all of these figures and the yellows and whites and blues that, sure, if you’re on acid you’ll see, but you otherwise wouldn’t. You can start to see those colors when painting and thinking about the world in the way of shapes and colors.”

An important part of plein air painting, Hamill says, is just trying things out, sampling colors and smudging here and there. There are no mistakes, only happy accidents— yes, Bob Ross did say that. Watching plein air painters is part of the joy, it’s not so much a tedious precise work, it’s a dance between light and dark, back and forth. With a flick of the wrist, Hamill hums along while mixing his colors—blues, reds, yellows and squidges of white.

He says using a split primary color palette lends itself to more harmony in his work since he has to mix every color he uses.

“There’s no orange or purple or green here, so I have to make them from these colors, and you get to the point that it all works. There’s no pop of pink or anything,” he says.

“Realism painters, on the other hand, have like 30 colors and seven reds, and to me that’s engineering.

Mixing on the fly is a bit more fun and spontaneous.”

Perfectionists and those with commitment issues need not apply.

Or, do apply, but be prepared to loosen up a bit.

“Angles and matching is the opposite of what you want in painting,” he says. “Look at Rembrandt. You won’t see symmetry, because that doesn’t give us opportunity to give us imagination. People can make smudges into what they want, but if you spell it out for them, it doesn’t hold their interest.”

Back up and it’s a landscape, with waves crashing over an outcropping.

But get closer and the painting dissolves, breaking apart into color blocks and lines of light and color.

The light and conditions have changed considerably since Hamill began painting an hour and a half ago, but the changes don’t affect the final product.

It’s all very romantic until a pelican shits on my backpack. “Thank you, cliffs!” Hamill shouts as he packs up.

“Isn’t it great being outside?”

Marc D’Estout, Gun Control

Radius Gallery presents Boris Bally’s I.M.A.G.I.N.E Peace Now, an exhibition of 70+ decommissioned guns, received through buyback programs, transformed into art objects and new expressions of peace. The exhibition has traveled the US since 2016. Adding to the traveling exhibition, 15 Bay Area artists were invited to create new work curated by Angela Gleason and Ann Hazels I.M.A.G.I.N.E Peace Now stands for the ‘innovative merger of art and guns to inspire new expressions.’ Participating artists were challenged to create works of art that incorporate disabled firearms taken off the streets. The objects vary — some are friendly and clever, while others are more confrontational and create a powerful statement about the gun violence epidemic in America.

Deena Haynes

Deena Haynes has been creating and selling art for almost 15 years and is fascinated with developing multiple layers while combining traditional art materials with digital images. Whether the work is abstract or representational, an iconic or grid composition, photographs often become the underprint or overprint in layers of acrylic paint, ink, graphite and/or collage materials. In her current series, “Wild Thing” and “Now & Then” she intuitively and skillfully layers hand-pulled monoprints with her digital prints. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where the monoprint ends and the photograph begins. This new work, and a selection of recent work and limited edition prints will be on display at Mmé.

NOT AFRAID Jakob Battick, known for his work with the experimental band Afraid, brings his debut solo album to the Crepe Place on Saturday, Nov. 3.

Cosmic Thing Jakob Battick finds a rich new sound on his trippy solo debut ‘To Be Born Again and Again’ BY AARON CARNES

I

n 2015, experimental singersongwriter Jakob Battick was driving across the country—from Portland, Maine to Berkeley— with his band Afraid. As he traveled through the Arizona desert, blaring Gene Clarke’s classic psych-country album No Other, Battick remembers being blown away. Not typically his favorite form of music, he was inspired by the way the lonely desert landscapes interacted with the surreal rootsy sounds of Clark.

It planted a seed that day that manifested into his debut solo album, To Be Born Again and Again.

“I wanted to make a cosmic American record and take it as far as one could take it,” he says. “I hated when my dad played Hank Williams.

I was a little weirdo kid who was into Jesus Lizard and the Birthday Party.”

No one would mistake To Be Born Again and Again for Williams. It’s a few steps away from even anything in the alt-country or psych-country realms.

But it’s certainly the closest thing the weirdo, noisy singer-songwriter has come to anything traditional.

The songs are rooted in Americana, but have a slow, dreamy quality. Battick’s baritone is part

mystical chant, part exhausted gospel soul singer. The layers of instruments create a wall of numbed out somber washes, even as you make out the pedal steel and acoustic finger pickings.

Battick recorded the album in early 2017, and for a while wasn’t sure he even wanted to release it.

“I came up in a freaky, DIY, noisystrange kind of punk ethos world.

I’ve put out a lot of different records under a lot of different names so far in my life. I never put one out that was this gentle,” Battick says. “I felt uncomfortable about that. I wasn’t

sure if that was something I wanted to have attached to my name.”

These songs started to come out when he first moved to Berkeley, and the plan was for it to be released as the next Afraid record. But after recording it, he had a falling out with some of the band members, including one who was his partner.

She sang on all the songs.

“Listening back to the songs, it started to strike me how the whole record was really about what had just happened with her. I didn’t know at the time. Sometimes the subconscious has more knowledge about what’s going on than the brain does,” Battick says.

It’s not a sad record though. In fact, it’s probably the most uplifting thing Battick has ever recorded. The album is about rebirth.

“I’ve made sad music for a long time. To me, it feels joyous. I feel potential. There’s a mournful undercurrent, but I’m happy when I hear it, because it points more toward the future,” Battick says.

His original title at the time was going to be American Dreamer after the Dennis Hopper documentary. He laughs now, realizing what a poor title choice that was, and is happy he went with To Be Born Again and Again, which clearly points to its rebirth/ reincarnation elements.

“What a shitty title. Especially under Trump. I wouldn’t want to have a record with ‘American’ on it. It’s such a weird, patriotic title,” Battick says.

The songs are full of potent religious imagery, despite the fact that he has never been religious. For him, there was something safe about using these powerful symbols to express his deeply personal emotions.

“I think the intensity of a lot of those kinds of images, I really gravitate toward those as a person,” Battick says. “I don’t think I’d been in a church until I was on vacation in New York City with my family when I was in my teens. Because of that, none of the dogma is there. So they’re really vivid and interesting and rich in symbolism to me.”

Jakob Battick performs at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8.

The Farm features tractor-worked fields, hand-worked gardens, orchards, greenhouses, and a children’s garden. There are free tours on the first Sunday of every month, but rain cancels them so check it out while the weather is still promising.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

MARMALADE KNIVES The first time that local experimental psych rock band Marmalade Knives played a gig, it was at a record store in Oakland as a trio. Guitarist Clinton Wilkins and Justin Spivey—who’d been collaborating on spaced-out instrumental jams—got Spivey’s girlfriend to join them for the show on synths. The trio played a low-key 25-minute set.

“The crowd was very enthusiastic, but it appeared that they were anticipating more,” Wilkins says. “We were like, ‘That’s it.’”

OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Spivey and Wilkins had already been talking about getting a bassist and drummer to join them. After witnessing how the band after them—who had a full rock set-up—absolutely killed, they knew they had to add more members.

46

Eventually they found bassist Mark Robinson and drummer Kyle Partridge to join their group. The new set-up added some structure to the chaos they’d been creating as two sonically adventurous guitarists jamming together. They see these two polar opposite impulses as elements to be balanced with one another.

“We’re constantly trying to tweak the formula and bring in more elements of that former experimentation, and touches of minimalism, but at the same time really wanting to be heavy and fulltilt in this vein of ‘free rock,’ which is what I like to call it,” Wilkins says.

Currently, the group is working on an album, and hopes to have it finished and pressed on vinyl by the end of the year.

WEDNESDAY 10/31 BRAZILIAN

SAMBADÁ Two decades is a long time for a band, but local Santa Cruz institution SambaDá seems like it’s just getting started. What started out as a modest dance project in 1998 by Brazilian native Papiba Godinho has blossomed into a lively ensemble of local hotshots. The group has earned the reputation as the go-to Brazilian band on the West Coast. At this show, they will be celebrating their anniversary by featuring players who have played with the group over the years. Oh, and it’s Halloween, so wear something this year!

SUBORBITALS On Halloween, the Suborbitals are going to set their dark and original music to the 1922 silent film Häxan. As the creepy black-and-white film sputters out archaic images of witchcraft and demonology, the Suborbitals will play both ringmaster and hypnotist,

transfixing the audience with their soft and haunting emo-lounge tones.

Their clever lyrics, often laying benign under the surface of gothy-jazz, will undoubtedly rise and come to life in joyous morbidity when paired with the grainy otherworldliness of a film so old and subversive it might crumble in the harsh daylight. AMY BEE 8 p.m., Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

THURSDAY 11/1 CAJUN

JIMMY BREAUX TRIO Few people are more steeped, stewed and sauteed in Cajun music than Jimmy Breaux. The fourth-generation Louisianan has Creole melodies in his veins; as a member of preeminent Cajun band Beausoleil (where his accordion was often the star) he was an ambassador for America’s Southern music, and as a solo artist he is a Le Cajun Music Awards “Album of the Year” winner. Get ready for a set of Cajun classics, as well as originals. MIKE HUGUENOR 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994

FRIDAY 11/2 FOLK-ROCK

AUSTIN LOUNGE LIZARDS Banana Slugs rejoice! The Austin Lounge Lizards are back in town, ready to dazzle with humorous, progressive zingers and serious bluegrass/country songwriting. The best spoof songs are the ones where the audience forgets it’s a spoof and abandons pretense to sing along wholeheartedly. Most of the Lizards’ repertoire is just like that: clever enough to laugh at, skilled enough to be catchy and also musically sincere—like Weird Al, but more overtly left-leaning and anchored securely in a folksy motif. AB 9 p.m., Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.

It’s another matter to read about these events from Green’s point of view. As generous and heartfelt a writer

TUESDAY 11/6 SOUL

URAL THOMAS AND THE PAIN The public’s thirst for old-school authentic soul led to the surprising (and deserved) late-in-life careers of Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley. The next guy to make that list could be almost80-year-old Ural Thomas, a high energy soul singer, bubbling with a geyser of emotion underneath his finely crafted velvety voice. Thomas released a few singles in the late ’60s and gigged with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Otis Redding, but never made it out of obscurity. He came out of retirement in 2013 and released his debut LP with the Pain in 2016. He and his band will remind you of Stax era R&B jams that feel fresh and infectious. AC 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

With such a broad perspective on life, she drops upbeat reggae tunes filled with love, laughter and hope. Oh, and she loves Santa Cruz, as evident in the 2012 “Tears of Joy” video that she shot at the Boardwalk, Cowell’s Beach and Ocean View Park. She will be joined at the Appleton Grill in Watsonville with the jinky sounds of Scooby and the Mystery Machine. MAT WEIR

Jazz can be complex, cerebral music for toe-tapping philosophy majors and high-falutin’ independent filmmakers. Drummer Sammy Miller thinks it should be uplifting music for everyone, and it should fill your heart with joy. He and his band the Congregation take elements of traditional jazz, gospel, Dixieland and swing, and hammer so much happiness into it, you’ll swear you’ve been held hostage at Disneyland for weeks. Make sure you check out the smiles on the band members’ faces.

It’s not the drugs—music really makes them this happy. Now they’re trying to infect us all with this overwhelming exhilaration.

FILM

BECAUSE I’M ‘HAPPY’ Rupert Everett wrote and directed the new Oscar Wilde biopic ‘The Happy Prince,’ and stars as Wilde.

OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Wilde At Heart

52

Engrossing, insightful portrait of an infamous author in ‘The Happy Prince’ BY LISA JENSEN

T

he title is ironic. The Happy Prince, a story written for children by Oscar Wilde in 1888, is a gentle parable of love, heartbreak, sacrifice and redemption. And now, actor-turnedfilmmaker Rupert Everett borrows the title for his melancholy, wistful, and yet utterly engrossing portrait of Wilde in his troubled final days. Everett wrote and directed the movie, in which he also stars as Wilde.

Once the toast of London, with three smash plays running simultaneously in the West End, and famous for his highly quotable wit, Wilde destroyed himself with an indiscreet affair with beautiful,

feckless young Lord Alfred Douglas, whose powerful father had Wilde sent to prison for the crime of sodomy, and put to hard labor for two years. This past is prologue in Everett’s film, which finds the mostly impoverished Wilde in exile on the Continent trying to piece together life after prison.

It’s a remarkable portrait of ruined nobility, disturbing in its intensity as it digs beneath both the surface glitz of Wilde’s fizzy celebrity as a dramatist, and his blackened reputation as an infamous sodomite, to explore the complex personality within.

Everett brackets the film with

Wilde reading aloud his story of The Happy Prince, first to his own two sons at bedtime, and later to a pair of urchins he consorts with in the Paris garret where he spends his last days—salting in themes of love, beauty, and tragedy throughout the movie. Usually short on cash, Wilde is adept at trading cocaine or sheer bonhomie for what he desires; in one rollicking scene, he climbs to a tabletop and sings a ribald music hall ditty to settle a situation in a bar.

He’s abetted in his post-prison escapades by longtime cohort Reggie Turner (Colin Firth). (Ten points to Gryffindor if you remember Firth and Everett as the louche young

Cambridge spies-to-be in Another Country, millennia ago.) Wilde’s loyal literary executor Robbie Ross (Edwin Thomas) joins them for a while, hoping to save his beloved Oscar from himself. And Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas himself (the always persuasive Colin Morgan) shows up to spirit Oscar off on an illicit sojourn to Naples—until Bosie’s mother and Oscar’s long-suffering wife (Emily Watson) cut off their respective allowances.

Everett has a lovely eye for atmosphere. His grimy French bistros look like Toulouse-Lautrec paintings come alive. A long shot of ladies and gentlemen in straw hats dining al fresco on a sunny patio in Naples could be a Renoir.

As an openly gay actor who was tired of being offered stereotypical parts (especially after he was such a scene-stealing hit in My Best Friend’s Wedding), Everett has said he wanted to honor Wilde as an icon of gay identity who had everything to lose, yet stayed true to himself. It’s not a portrait of bravery. Everett’s Wilde confesses himself addicted to “vice and pleasure,” and his fatal attraction to doom, yet is unable to regret any of it. In Everett’s view, Wilde’s own hubris also contributed to his fall, believing that his fame and wit and social connections would protect him.

Of course, the film also condemns bigotry and oppression in Wilde’s era. A fascinating footnote tells us that Wilde and hundreds of others convicted of “crimes” of sodomy were officially pardoned by the Crown—but not until 2017!

Everett’s towering performance as Wilde is mesmerizing. Often shot in extreme close-up, we see every millimeter of his dissipation, but also every glimmer of stubborn, ironic wit (“I’m dying beyond my means!”) and hopeful joy as he seizes any chance for momentary balm, after losing his family, his honor and his livelihood. Wilde may be downtrodden, but Everett’s close study of the author’s will to live even his marginalized and chaotic life on his own terms is deeply insightful.

THE HAPPY PRINCE With Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Colin Morgan, and Emily Watson.

Written and directed by Rupert Everett. A Sony Classics release. Rated R. 105 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES BEAUTIFUL BOY If you were wondering what you’re getting for Christmas, I’m going to spoil it for you. You’re getting Steve Carell! He’s in three movies coming out in the next two months—Vice, Welcome to Marwen and this film, the heaviest but maybe most important of the trio (although Vice looks to be pretty awesome, as well). Beautiful Boy is unusual in that it adapts not one but two memoirs about addiction, each looking at the same story from a different perspective. Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction was written by David Sheff, who Carell plays here. Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines was written by Sheff’s son, Nick, who is portrayed here by Timothee Chalamet. Directed by Felix Von Groeningen. Co-starring Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan and Timothy Hutton. (R) 120 minutes. (SP)

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? Melissa McCarthy has been in some duds lately, but she’s already getting awards buzz for her portrayal of Lee Israel, a real-life writer who made her name writing celebrity biographies, but later turned to selling forgeries when her career went south. One New York bookstore who had bought some to Israel’s forged letters wasn’t even mad, later saying,“She made the letters terrific.”That, people, is some quality fraud! Directed by Marielle Heller. Co-starring Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells and Jane Curtin. (R) 106 minutes. (SP)

VIPER CLUB Definitely in the running for worst movie title of 2018 is Viper Club, which is incredibly not a movie about a crazed biker gang, misfit snakes who become friends in detention, or even Johnny Depp’s Viper Room nightclub. It’s actually a drama about a mother trying to rescue her journalist son from terrorists. Directed by Maryam Keshavarz. Starring Susan Sarandon, Matt Bomer and Edie Falco. (R) 109 minutes. (SP)

THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS Disney attempts to turn the Nutcracker story into some kind of weird Narnia-type universe … I guess? Hard to tell from the extremely generic trailers, which promise magic and wonder while looking neither magical nor wonderful. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom and Joe Johnston.

Starring Mackenzie Foy, Keira Knightley and Morgan Freeman. (PG) 99 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.

SUSPIRIA Several years ago, I interviewed the late horror director Wes Craven about the scariest movies of all time, and when I mentioned Dario Argento’s 1977 masterpiece Suspiria, he said,“Suspiria didn’t scare me.” It was a gorgeous piece of cinematic art, he admitted—in fact, it was actually too pretty to get under his skin. I get what he was saying, but to this day I simply can’t agree.

The climax of Argento’s film about witches in a German dance academy is one of the only horror movie scenes that has ever truly scared me. Does it need to be remade? Of course not, but we’ve learned from the avalanche of unnecessary horror remakes that have already come and gone in this young century that if a great horror film can be remade, it will be. What seems promising about this remake is that instead of just aping Argento’s legendary use of lavish color in the original, director Luca Guadagnino has taken the opposite approach with a palette of wintery, bleak tones— which is an intriguingly original and equally valid approach for this story of alienation and black magic. Starring Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton and Jessica Harper (who played the protagonist, American ballet student Suzy Bannion, in the original). (R) 152 minutes. (SP)

NOW PLAYING 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) 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. Costarring 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. (PG13) 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 HAPPY PRINCE Reviewed this issue. Starring Colin Firth, Tom Wilkinson and Emily Watson. (R) 105 minutes. (SP) 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 writerdirector Jonah Hill, who developed it from his own spec script. Starring Sunny Suljic, Lucas Hedges and Katherine Waterston. (R) 84 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) TEA WITH THE DAMES Roger Michell's irresistible documentary 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. Michell's camera crew tags along when these four great ladies of stage, screen, and television (each of them honored with the title of Dame)—longtime friends in real life—get together for an afternoon of tea and conversation about life, love, friendship, and the craft of acting.

They’re always trenchant, and often hilarious. Along with the delicious talk, Michell makes judicious use of vintage footage from the actresses' illustrious careers to illustrate their stories.

What's not to love? Grab a crumpet, pull up a chair, and refresh yourself!

(Not rated) 84 minutes. (LJ)

Walk the Walk Sip wine from a number of local wineries at the Downtown Santa Cruz Fall Wine Walk BY CHRISTINA WATERS

B

y the time you read this you’ll be recovering from the annual sugar shock that accompanies all things Halloween. You’ll need to start thinking ahead, to a time where wine trumps candy. And I’ve got just the thing for you. The annual and ridiculously enjoyable Downtown Santa Cruz Fall Wine Walk, which will fill Santa Cruz with lots of folks in high spirits on Sunday, Nov. 11.

The idea is inviting, the concept is simple. You, the participant, stop by

Soif Wine Bar & Restaurant on Walnut Avenue and register ($40). You will then receive a pass, a glass and a map of the pouring locations. Then you set off for an afternoon visiting downtown merchants, where winery reps await to pour you a glass of their wine. Yes, it’s that easy. Soif’s co-founder and reigning proprietor Patrice Boyle explains the fine points. “Because our licensing does not allow us to participate the way other retailers can,” she told us, “we are the starting

off, collect-your-glass-and-map place.

Our retail shop will be open, but the restaurant is closed on Sunday.”

The Wine Walk will feature about a dozen wineries, set up in retail spots around downtown. Wineries include Muns Vineyard, Bargetto, Burrell School Winery, Bonny Doon Winery, Roudon-Smith, Wrights Station, Pelican Ranch, and Random Ridge, among others. Once participants have their glasses, they “head off on their own crawl around town.” Let’s review: Nov. 11, 2-5 p.m. Registration

Is there no end to this man’s marketing genius? I speak, of course, of Randall Grahm, uber winemaker and founder of Bonny Doon Vineyard, an establishment that made its name and empire based on the 1984 release of the infamous Le Cigare Volant—a memorable elixir of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre (GSM). Well, after 30 years of the Cigare, Grahm has announced a major change of style.

This paradigm shift is being enacted in order to appeal to younger wine drinkers, those for whom the entire concept of letting a vintage age is unthinkable. In the Twitter era aging can amount to a matter of days. Even hours. Ergo, the new 2018 incarnation of Le Cigare Volant, scheduled for release in June 2019, is composed of a whopping 75 percent of Cinsault and 25 percent Syrah. (No Grenache!) The original Cigare was built for longevity and usually had a price tag to match.

The longer it takes to get a bottle of wine to market, the more costly the product. Which is why for a generation raised on social media, there’s beer.

Eight days, versus five years. You can do that math. The ever clever Grahm is thus reasoning that he can offer a more affordable wine by speeding up the drinkability. Makes sense to me.

Now to the marketing genius. Since forever more the Cigare will be a nonGSM creature, it would be wonderful to have some of the original, yes?

Bonny Doon Vineyard now offers a six-pack or 12-pack or six vintages of Le Cigare Volant (2012-2017) for half price. That’s six bottles of Rhonestyle elegance for $125! I’ll see you up at the Davenport tasting room! bonnydoonvineyard.com.

ergio Di Sarro, co-owner of Star Bene on East Cliff Drive, has some news to announce.

He and his wife Julieta Fernandez Vidal are planning to open a new location in the Scotts Valley area focused on banquets, catering, weddings and receptions. Di Sarro, a surfer, moved to Santa Cruz in the late 1990s, while in pursuit of “the perfect wave,” he says. He and Fernandez Vidal bought Star Bene, an Italian restaurant, 11 years ago, and quickly incorporated elements from their native Argentina. Curious customers, Di Sarro says, sometimes ask why he combined Argentine and Italian cuisines. Di Sarro, whose parents immigrated to Argentina from Italy, doesn’t think of his restaurant as some quirky brand of fusion food. To him, his menu is no more surprising than those found at New York-Italian restaurants, created by the descendants of families that traveled to the United States in the aftermath of World War I. “Because immigration,” he says.

What’re you doing right now?

SERGIO DI SARRO: I’m cooking a Bolognese sauce. It’s the sauce you

use for ground beef. You cook it with fresh herbs, garlic, strong red wine, fresh tomato, a little bit of homemade marinara.

What vibe do you try to create?

Star Bene used to be more like a fine dining room, but I saw this as a very casual town full of surfers. I’m a surfer, OK? I said, “How come surfers don’t come to Star Bene?” My vibe is best-friendly. We have a special patio.

We tend to create a family business feel, because grandma will come to the table, or my brother will come to the table or my 16-year-old son.

If you want a romantic corner, we do have a romantic corner, as well.

Valentines’—we decorate. But we create a vibe for family. It’s a casual restaurant. I’m trying to make you feel like you’re in your home.

Pizza or empanada?

Empanada, buddy. Soon in the next place, we’re gonna do a little more empanada. You’ll be able to request flavors. You can get big orders. We’re happy and so grateful for this town.

inemaker Barry Jackson has taken the Fiano grape and turned it into a lovely white wine. Fiano, native to the southern Italian province of Campania, is aromatic, crisp and delicate. A highquality white Italian grape, Fiano has intense floral aromas and notes of honey and spice.

Expert winemaker Jackson has made an intriguing Fiano, which I first happened to try when in his tasting room to sample his Equinox sparkling wines. Fiano can be nutty and rich, and some people find it piney and herbaceous. Jackson’s well-made Fiano is extremely flavorful with a lovely smoky minerality. It’s always exciting to venture out and try lesserknown wines, and Jackson is an ace at making artful libations.

The Fiano sells for $26 a bottle and you can find it at the Equinox/Bartolo tasting room. Jackson and his wife Jennifer moved into the busy Surf City Vintners complex a couple of years ago from their previous location on Swift Street. They’re located opposite Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing and next door

to West End Tap and Kitchen—an ideal spot for food, wine and brewskies.

CHILDREN’S ETIQUETTE CLASS FOR AGES 9 TO 13 Just in time for the holiday season, Karen Anne Murray, proprietress of Eddison and Melrose Oats and Scones Tea Cottage, will be doing a two-part class on etiquette for children— including eye contact, handshakes, table manners, electronic-device manners, and table setting. Tea and treats will be included. Murray, who hails from England, says that in our modern world, some old-fashioned values are still required. Classes are 1:45-3 p.m. Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 and the cost is $65. I took a friend to Oats and Scones for afternoon tea recently, and we loved the dainty sandwiches and English scones, all served beautifully on fine china.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES HALLOWEEN: THE DWELLER AND THE ANGEL Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 31, 2018

Here we are already at Halloween, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. We still have time to create altars to honor the dead. Altars filled with marigolds, chrysanthemums, pumpkins, sugar skeletons, copal (incense), pomegranates, persimmons, pineapple guavas, candy, corn and cookies in colors orange and black (so Saturn!).

For esotericists and astrologers, Saturn’s Dweller on the Threshold (one side) and Angel of the Presence (the other side) are interesting Halloween characters. The Dweller (his job description is the same as St. Peter at the Gates of Heaven) looks quite like a gargoyle protecting sacred sites.

The Dweller stands at the door (threshold) of the sacred mysteries (Scorpio), the Wisdom Temple and the inner sanctums of churches built

by Masons—who, trained in sacred architecture, built spires (prayers, stupas) reaching to the heavens. The stern Dweller turns into the

compassionate Angel of the Presence when we have passed all nine Mars/Scorpio tests.

The Nine Tests of the Personality are given in Scorpio to build strength, discernment, character and wisdom, the disciple’s virtues.

The last day of October and the first days of November are also times for forgiveness, reconciliation and rapprochement.

Forgiveness liberates us. While in the Bardos (transition between Earth and Heaven), after we give Charon the boatman a copper penny to cross the River Styx, reviewing our life and recognizing when we lacked Right Relations (non-virtues)—and the consequences of these actions—frees us from karma (past action).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Your task for the next several years is to always act with Right Relations and harmony with all of the kingdoms. All interactions will be vivified when you do so. You will transform self and then the world. Often you battle your way through changes, other times you are the change. Your perception of enemies changes. They present challenges that, through conflict, direct you toward harmony and the Pathway of Peace.

You may become stricter in your thinking, defining for yourself who you are and who you’ve become. You may feel strict at home, attempting to order and organize the home environment. You might feel you’ve become much too serious.

This is Saturn, the Gatekeeper, providing new disciplines for you to ponder. A long passage of time has come to an end. Old beliefs and separations disappear. You learn the truth about love and forgiveness. You love more.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 There’s more work ahead, more responsibilities and a definite focus on health. Tend daily to health, right foods, adequate sleep, pure water, vitamins, homeopaths and daily exercise.

Pray for the removal of all obstacles. Soon you will move into a period of creativity. Hindrances in the environment, in relationships—anything incomplete from the past—is coming forth for healing. There is much to do. You can do it all.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Cancer is about family and nurturing what we love. Venus retro is asking you what do you most value about family and why? You seek closeness with loved ones, teaching them new ways of understanding the world. For Cancer professionals, be careful in the world. Seek to bring harmony to all interactions.

Research your genealogy in order to establish a deeper sense of family history. Include research on the town, city, state and nation presently living in. We are needed wherever we are.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s good to reach out to siblings and family, to walk about daily in your neighborhood seeking new friends, interacting with those living nearby, creating relationships that are social, communicative, sharing and encouraging of others. Leo is to radiate the light of the Sun. You are magnetic, attractive, illuminating the hearts of others. Leo is the heart of the Sun radiating the Sun’s golden light in the world. Soon the light shifts, changes into a new tone and ray.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A time of deeper discrimination and understanding the value of self begins. Notice all possessions, resources and gifts given through the years. You will realize some possessions have become burdensome. Begin eliminating what is no longer useful. Seek harmony through the artful placements of objects in the home, office and gardens. For the next months, take special care with your money. You may undervalue or overvalue self, others, objects. Call forth discernment, Right Seeing and Right Action.

A new self-identity has been approaching, forming itself in ways that allow you to think of yourself as good, as an initiator, as one who loves (silently, perhaps), as one who deeply communicates (internally), researches, strategizes, and as one who will go far in their field and be successful. It’s good to be very clear with communication, allowing the found object of your new self to come forth. There’s a fire inside transforming you. Remain poised with all these changes.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You are not socially isolated. You’re being given a season of retreat and contemplation when purpose and things religious and spiritual appear. Observe and write down by hand all ways you are different from last year, two, five, 10 years ago. Withdraw consciously each day into an inner contemplation. This gives you time for observing, evaluating and understanding the changes. You are now to serve yourself with compassion and kindness.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’ll both detach from groups and seek them out. The detachment concerns previous groups that defined your previous self. In the coming year you’re magnetized to groups with a higher level of consciousness and sense of purpose. You seek new communities. A leader of a group you could definitely be. However, you seek to be a more integrated group player helping to synthesize group vision.

Right cooperation will be what you teach.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Soon new endeavors and responsibilities will appear.

It’s recognized you’re the best in terms of leadership, achievement, vision, creativity and productivity—all new Aquarian gifts. Ponder deeply on what is asked of you. Can you function to your fullest capacity, full expression, bringing your uniqueness into the world? All of this implies opportunity, action, imagination, ingenuity, some opposition (others want to be like you) and personal creative rewards. Carry on.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re beginning to understand life’s rules, something Pisces has difficulty understanding. You’re learning how to be more skillful with others and there’s still much more to learn. Follow all rules, respect all laws. This is most important for the next year. Take long journeys, learn new things, fulfill obligations (or don’t make them) and enter into a philosophy that helps and serves others. Stay in touch with loved ones.

Concerns and the focus are on your daily life as well as your health. You are to seek a new sense of self through what you can imagine. Saturn will enter your house of sharing realities, intimacy and resources. Saturn asks what you are longing for. What are you seeing in relationships? What do you want, not want, hope for, love, and, in return, what gifts do you offer? Love empowers you. Love is a daily choice. It’s pure reason. It’s not an emotion.

The city attempted to build affordable housing investing a lot of time and effort only to drop it because the neighbors complained. It is the responsibility of the city to find a location and then proceed. In addition to all this they want to pass a law which requires people who sell their houses to fork over 15% of the sales price to the city. This tells me that the city has found a way to make easy money and the low income will still lose because there is no way to morph the existing units into more units.

The shortage of housing continues. And yet they bulldoze existing buildings such as the historic Carnegie library.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITON H BECAUSE IT ISSUES BONDS FOR THE BUILDING OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

And then there is the matter of economic recession.

The period from 2003 to 2010 was one of recession or not being able to find tenants because they lost jobs and had to relocate.

Vacancies sometimes lasted several months. Some rental owners sold their properties.

Still the rental owners had to pay property taxes, maintenance, gardening expenses and mortgages on lower rents and budget.

Who helped rental property owners. No one!

Let’s return to something we talked about last year...when the frenzy of the market was fraying people’s reserves of rational thought, and I noticed a widening gap between the public’s popular imagination about how real estate works and how it actually plays out in real life.

There are two parts: 1) Every single Santa Cruz seller fantasizes about wealthy buyers swarming over the hill to pay lots of money for their house. 2) Not all Santa Cruz sellers are willing to do what it takes to attract one of those “unicorn buyers” that are so easy to conjure up in their heads.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that sellers choosing to skimp on their prep are also voluntarily scaling back on their expectations about what those blue sky buyers will pay.

No matter which cultural incarnation they assume: rich techie, Facebook/Apple/Google employee, retiring couple from the mythical 650 area code, Chinese national or virtually anyone driving a new Tesla.

From the looks of it, it doesn’t stop some sellers from continuing to ratchet up the $$$ long after the point in time at which they balk at spending one more dime to prepare their place for sale. Almost like it wasn’t necessary to do anything, or even...the less you do, the higher the price should be.

This is this market’s version of magical thinking: aspirational pricing that exceeds reasonable expectation. It’s a trend that will only help hasten the end of an otherwise amazing upcycle. Doesn’t matter whether it is bitcoin or tulips or real estate, things wind down when there’s not enough “there, there.”

It all breeds an odd kind of seller discontent too - in the midst of the best seller’s market anyone in California has witnessed since the Gold Rush. No matter how good the results, more sellers are decidedly unhappy. Five offers? Maybe there should have been ten. Price bid up $50,000 over asking? But we were expecting at least $100,000 over. There’s an embarrassment of first-world problems out there! And way too much Seller’s Remorse.

So here’s the thing, folks. The market is great.

But selling in a seller’s market is still hard work. You get out of it what you put into it and in most cases even more. You can’t take your listing back, once you go on the market.

There are no mulligans in real estate. Why not get it right the first time?

Ingredients

¼ cup brown sugar ½ tsp cayenne powder ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper 2 Tbsp olive oil 4 thick cut pork chops

■ PORK CHOPS, CENTER CUT/ 3.98 LB ■ SIRLOIN PORK CHOPS/ 2.98 LB ■ THICK CUT PORK CHOPS/ 3.98 LB ■ PORK LOIN ROAST, BONELESS/ 3.98 LB ■ PORK SHOULDER ROAST/ 3.29 LB

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper.

2. Remove the pork chops from their package and rub the seasoning mixture over all sides of each chop. The moisture from the meat will help the seasoning adhere to the surface.

3. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over a medium flame. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the pork chops.

Cook the chops for about 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

4. If your chops are greater than one inch thick, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven for another 5-10 minutes to finish cooking. Test the chops with a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature has reached 145ºF. Cook longer if needed.

5. Dredge the chops through the thick sauce in the bottom of the pan just before serving.

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!
