OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE One of the things we like to do is follow some of the notable graduates who come out of UCSC. But I have to say that this is maybe the strangest story of that type that we’ve ever run. It’s certainly the most unexpected.

That’s not just because Charles Harder went on to be Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and represent a number of famous conservative figures. Sure, there’s a certain amount of irony there already, as Trump is one of the most passionately hated figures at UCSC, and in Santa Cruz in general. But it’s

Re: “Closer to Encounters”: Great article on Frank Drake (GT, 10/31). I would like to add that we are “closer to encounters.”

There is another interesting organization, ECETI (Enlightened Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence) in Mt. Adams, Washington, studying the skies. ECETI was founded by James Gililland over 30 years ago, and has more footage and documentation of flying craft than anyone on the planet. It is quite impressive.

Mt. Adams is sacred Yakima Indian land, with hundreds of flying craft sightings recorded in their history. ECETI has attracted people from all over the world, including Boeing engineers, astrophysicists, and NASA scientists to witness the overwhelming evidence that Drake’s Equation is correct. We are not alone!

I personally have had several mindblowing experiences at ECETI that are, quite frankly, out of this world. Great news that Mr. Drake and SETI can continue this important study in solving mankind’s greatest mystery. I believe!

DON’T BE FOOLED Re: “Up in Smoke” (GT, 10/3): Santa Cruz can do something about the single most preventable cause of death in California— tobacco use. The city should join San Francisco and two dozen other cities and counties in

not like there are no Republicans in Santa Cruz, or conservative graduates from UCSC—of course, there are plenty of both.

What makes Harder’s story so intriguing is that he was very active in progressive causes while he was at UCSC, and that he doesn’t really seem to disavow them now. I don’t want to spoil too much of Jacob Pierce’s fascinating cover story, but I will say I think he did a fantastic job of reporting in it—both in his interviews with Harder, and in how he tracked down people who knew and worked with him while he was in Santa Cruz.

It’s a complex and often surprising profile, and the kind of story that will draw a wide range of reactions from readers, I’m sure. Enjoy!

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

California in restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products. Menthol and candy-flavored tobacco products are a key part of the tobacco industry’s strategy to bait new users, especially youth, into becoming tomorrow’s addicts.

Ending the sale of these flavored tobacco products is an issue of both health and social justice. Young people who use flavored tobacco products, including menthol, are often African American, Asian American, LGBTQ and from low-income communities already significantly impacted by tobacco-related disease. All the while, local taxpayers continue to foot the bill for tobacco-related illnesses.

According to a government study, 81 percent of kids who have tried tobacco started with a flavored product. The American Cancer Society (ACS) says while e-cigarettes may be less harmful than smoking cigarettes, the health effects of long-term use are not known.

Don’t let anyone tell you e-cigarettes are not tobacco products, either. The nicotine found in e-cigarettes is derived from tobacco. FDA regulates e-cigarettes as tobacco products.

ACS also recommends FDA-approved cessation treatment as the preferred means to quit smoking and ACS states every effort should be made to prevent youth from using e-cigarettes. The use of products containing nicotine in any form among youth is unsafe and can harm brain development.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the advocacy affiliate of ACS, recently supported San Francisco as it enacted the most comprehensive flavored tobacco sales restrictions in the >8

Aptos locals will soon get a chance to reimagine their hub for reading, learning and gathering as a community. Santa Cruz Public Libraries and the county of Santa Cruz have invited members of the public to join in a series of meetings to help plan renovations to the Aptos Branch Library. The first is from 7-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at the Aptos Library, located at 7695 Soquel Drive. The second meeting, which will also be at the library, is on Tuesday, Dec. 11, from 7-8 p.m.

The Santa Cruz Warriors’ season is now underway (see page 14), and the team has announced an agreement to broadcast all 24 regular season home games for the 2018-19 season on television. The games will air on NBC Sports Bay Area, already the television home of the back-to-back NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Twelve of Santa Cruz’s home games can also be seen on NBC Sports Bay Area’s new MyTeams app, which can be downloaded for free.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 7 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In 1994, Aries pop diva Mariah Carey collaborated with an associate to write the song “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It took them 15 minutes to finish it. Since then it has generated $60 million in royalties. I wish I could unconditionally predict that you, too, will efficiently spawn a valuable creation sometime soon. Current planetary alignments do indeed suggest that such a development is more possible than usual. But because I tend to be conservative in my prophecies, I won’t guarantee anything close to the $60-million figure. In fact, your reward may be more spiritual in nature than financial.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 An interactive post at Reddit.com asked readers to write about “the most underrated feeling of all time.”

One person said, “When you change the sheets on your bed.” Another extolled “the feeling that comes when you pay all your bills and you’ve still got money in the bank.” Others said, “dancing under the rain,” “physical contact like a pat on the back when you’re really touch starved,” and “listening to a song for the first time and it’s so good you just can’t stop smiling.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that the next two weeks will bring you a flood of these pleasurable underrated feelings.

GEMINI May21–June20 “Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer,” wrote Gemini author Henry Lawson. Do you have any methods for making yourself feel like you’ve drunk a few beers that don’t involve drinking a few beers? If not, I highly recommend that you find at least one. It will be especially important in the coming weeks for you to have a way to alter, expand, or purify your consciousness without relying on literal intoxicants or drugs. The goal: to leave your groove before it devolves into a rut.

Study the following five failed predictions. 1. “There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.” —Robert Millikan, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1923. 2. “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” —Western Union internal memo, 1876. 3. “Rail travel at high speeds is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” –Dionysius Lardner, scientist, 1830. 4. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” —Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977. 5. “Most Cancerians will never overcome their tendencies toward hypersensitivity, procrastination, and fear of success.” —Lanira Kentsler, astrologer, 2018. (P.S. What you do in the next 12 months could go a long way toward permanently refuting the last prediction.)

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 German scientists have created cochlear implants for gerbils that have been genetically modified, enabling the creatures to “listen” to light. The researchers’ work is ultimately dedicated to finding ways to improve the lives of people with hearing impairments. What might be the equivalent of you gaining the power to “hear light”?

I understand that you might resist thinking this way.

“That makes no sense,” you may protest, or “There’s no practical value in fantasizing about such an impossibility.” But I hope you’ll make the effort anyway. In my view, stretching your imagination past its limits is the healing you need most right now. I also think that doing so will turn out to be unexpectedly practical.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Here’s useful wisdom from the poet Rumi. “Our defects are the ways that glory gets manifested,” he said. “Keep looking at the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” Playwright Harrison David Rivers interprets Rumi’s words to mean, “Don’t look away from your pain, don’t disengage from it, because that pain is the source of your power.” I think these perspectives are just what you need to meditate on, Virgo. To promote even more healing in you, I’ll add a further clue from poet

Anna Kamienska: “Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.” (P.S. Rumi is translated by Coleman Barks; Kamienska by Clare Cavanagh.)

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Artist David Hockney is proud of how undemanding he is toward his friends and associates. “People tell me they open my e-mails first,” he says, “because they aren’t demands and you don’t need to reply. They’re simply for pleasure.” He also enjoys giving regular small gifts. “I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms.” Hockney seems to share the perspective expressed by author Gail Godwin, who writes, “How easy it was to make people happy, when you didn’t want or need anything from them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Libra, I suggest you have fun employing these approaches in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I am not currently a wanderer or voyager or entrepreneur or swashbuckler. But at other times in my life, I have had extensive experience with those roles. So I know secrets about how and why to be a wanderer and voyager and entrepreneur and swashbuckler. And it’s clear to me that in the coming weeks you could benefit in unforeseen ways from researching and embodying the roles of curious wanderer and brave voyager and savvy entrepreneur and prudent swashbuckler.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “The best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.” That brilliant formulation came from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Does it seem so obvious as to not need mentioning? Bear with me while I draw further meaning from it, and suggest you use it as an inspiring metaphor in the coming weeks. When it rains, Sagittarius, let it rain; don’t waste time and emotional energy complaining about the rain. Don’t indulge in fruitless fantasizing about how you might stop the rain and how you’d love to stop the rain. In fact, please refrain from defining the rain as a negative event, because after all, it is perfectly natural, and is in fact crucial for making the crops grow and replenishing our water supply. (P.S. Your metaphorical “rain” will be equally useful.)

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation,” writes activist and author Elif Shafak.

“If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven’t loved enough.” I bring this to your attention because you’re in a phase when your close alliances should be activating healing changes in your life.

If for some reason your alliances are not yet awash in the exciting emotions of redemption and reinvention, get started on instigating experimental acts of intimacy.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I suspect you will be an especially arousing influence in the coming weeks. You may also be inspiring and disorienting, with unpredictable results. How many transformations will you unleash? How many expectations will you dismantle? How many creative disruptions will you induce in the midst of the daily grind? I hesitate to underestimate the messy beauty you’ll stir up or the rambunctious gossip you’ll provoke. In any case, I plan to be richly amused by your exploits, and I hope everyone else will be, as well. For best results, I will pray to the Goddess of Productive Fun, begging Her to ensure that the commotions and uproars you catalyze will be in service to love and kindness.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t always a wild and crazy writer. Early in his career he made an effort to compose respectable, measured prose. When he finally gave up on that project and decided he could “get away with” a more uninhibited style, he described it as being “like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.” I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Pisces.

Historical Friction

Earth scientist Gary Griggs’ new book details the history of regional natural disasters BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

L

ocal geologist Gary Griggs has lived in Santa Cruz through some of the biggest natural disasters of the last 100 years, but his view of them sometimes defies convention.

Despite his extensive experience studying quakes and tsunamis, flooding and landslides, he doesn’t advocate for earthquake insurance (since he says the deductibles are high) or even a huge amount of earthquake preparedness.

“Generally, earthquakes don’t kill people, falling things do,” Griggs

says. “Your odds of dying are really, really low. I mean, there are simple things to secure and proof your house for an earthquake, but I don’t have a bunch of stuff ready to go.”

If the status quo is often wrong, it’s probably because of the general lack of knowledge beyond our superficial understanding of natural disasters. In his 50 years of studying and lecturing on local geology, Griggs has seen many people, particularly realtors, who don’t know the history of this region’s disasters. Newcomers buy homes in flood zones or right

along fault lines without knowing it, and are shocked when there’s a huge crack in their kitchen floor or their backyard is underwater.

Griggs can’t land-survey everyone’s house before they buy, so instead he wrote a book that details patterns of disasters around the Monterey Bay. Between Paradise and Peril recounts this area’s lengthy history of natural disasters from earthquakes to major flooding.

Griggs says he’s wanted to put together a book like this for some time now, but finally >12

One could call the Santa Cruz Warriors’ 2017-18 season a disappointment. The team failed to make the playoffs, after a very un-Warrior-like 23-27 record.

But the team has started off on the right foot this time around, after a 118-108 win in its first match of the season, an away game against the Northern Arizona Suns on Saturday, Nov. 3. Returning guard Damion Lee led the way with 26 points and three steals. The team’s first home game is Wednesday, Nov. 7, when Santa Cruz hosts the Stockton Kings at the Kaiser Permanente Arena.

“Last year was tough,” Santa Cruz Warriors general manager Kent Lacob says.

“It was a great learning experience for us.

There were a lot of ups and downs.”

Lacob, the son of the Warriors organization’s majority owner Joe Lacob, is in his third season as Santa Cruz’s GM, and he’s used to winning, having coordinated basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors, the Santa Cruz team’s NBA affiliate, during an epic 73-win season in 2015-2016.

“We had a lot of success in terms of helping players reach their goals last year.

We had four players called up to the NBA: Antonius Cleveland, Georges Niang, Damion Lee and Quinn Cook. But in losing a lot of players, it was tough to maintain team continuity,” Lacob explains.

The goal this time is to win the championship, something the Santa Cruz Warriors last did four seasons ago in 2015.

In six seasons here, last year was only the second in which the local Warriors failed to get to the playoffs. The team made it to the finals in each of its first three seasons in Santa Cruz.

The team currently has two players on two-way contracts who will split their time between Santa Cruz and Golden State— both of them guards. The first is Lee, who happens to be the brother-in-law of Golden State’s two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, and the other is Marcus Derrickson.

“This year is different, and we are better prepared to balance player >14

Griggs thought the event would draw only friends and family to the front row, where they would be sitting surrounded by a bunch of empty seats. “Well, they sold it out—like 600 people showed up,” he says. “That was really gratifying.

I got some really great responses from people. That got me going, and I thought I could finally do this in a book. It was time.”

topped off with a final chapter on climate change. If readers take away one or two things from the book, he hopes it’s the chapters on climate change and flooding. “We have an impact on climate change. We can consciously affect the outcome and do something about it,” Griggs says. “We have some control over flooding, too. It has affected more areas in the county more frequently than any other hazard.”

As a geologist, Griggs says it’s important to know the history of natural disasters in order to predict their future impacts and occurrence. Just two weeks before the Loma Prieta earthquake, >14

This is all along with his regular column in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

“It’s not about making money or selling tons of copies,” Griggs says. “It’s more to give people a perspective that we live in this wonderful place that looks like paradise, but really if you look at the environmental hazards around here, there are tons of places that aren’t safe to live at all.”

The book’s eight chapters include nearly 200 years of earthquakes, flooding, droughts and tsunamis,

Magnolia trees shade the building, and a long planter with blooming hibiscus runs the length of it. An old sign still leans out over the corner proclaiming it the Santa Cruz Hotel, a name that’s also still inscribed on decorative upstairs windows.

Planet Fresh opened in 1996 at Locust and Cedar streets in the former hotel. The historic building also houses the Red Restaurant and Bar upstairs, and the dimly lit Red Room.

All three were red-tagged on Sept. 19, after fire department inspectors nearby spotted “gross” violations—including exposed, unsafe wires outside the building—while walking to a new business, Chief Building Official Mark Ellis tells GT in

an email.

After repairs, both “Reds” reopened Oct. 5.

The building and all three businesses are all owned

by Germaine Akin, who also owns downtown’s 515 Kitchen & Cocktails, as well as Splash and Riva Fish House on the wharf. She acquired Planet Fresh about a year ago, after original owner Fred Henschel “let it go,” according to Henschel’s 27-year-old son, Taylor, who says he has fond memories of working there as a kid.

UCSC student Olivia Stewart says Planet Fresh is “big” with students and was surprised to see it abruptly close. “It’s nice to be able to eat out healthy. I hope it reopens,” she says.

Ellis says conditions at the old hotel building were unusual. Besides problematic electrical wiring, issues included leaking plumbing and clutter in the basement that created a fire hazard.

Ellis says representatives for Akin have asked what improvements are needed at Planet Fresh and that he expects them to submit a plan

outlining a kitchen remodel, including new equipment and floor repairs.

Hopefully, it won’t take too long, says Meghan Miller of Monterey, who heads to Planet Fresh whenever she comes to Santa Cruz. “I love the quirkiness. It’s such a neat building, and the food is so good,” Miller says. “It’s a great price for that kind of food.”

CALL TO ARMISTICE On Nov. 11, an impassioned group of local veterans will be marching 17.7 miles from Watsonville to Santa Cruz to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide.

Bells will toll and bagpipes will play at 11:11 a.m., welcoming the two dozen vets making the long trek to the clock tower in downtown Santa Cruz, and kicking off 2018’s Veterans Day Remembrance and Armistice Day Celebration in Santa Cruz.

“The walkers will highlight the epidemic of suicide that exists in the veteran community,” says Tatanka Bricca, event coordinator and human rights

advocate. “Veterans live with the guilt of war, and more of our soldiers die from suicide than actual combat.”

After the ringing of the bells, the celebration will move across the street to the Veterans Memorial Building for the “Afternoon Community Symposium on Creating Peace,” packed with speakers, panel discussions, food, music and more.

For this year’s celebration, local vets have decided to resurrect and reclaim the original Nov. 11 title of Armistice Day: “A Day of Peace.” One hundred years ago, Nov. 11 was a day of celebration. On the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of 1918, World War I finally ended. Decades before Veterans Day became an official national holiday in 1954, Nov. 11 was a day to celebrate that peace and to rejoice in the end of war. It was called Armistice Day. “Ultimately, I hope I am one of the last humans to be called a veteran,” says Paul Damon, a veteran and founder of Holistic Veterans. HUGH MCCORMICK

NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BRO KNOWS Damion Lee led the way to the Santa Cruz Warriors’ first win of the season, scoring 26 points. He’s expected to get some time this season with Golden State, alongside his new brother-in-law Stephen Curry.

RIM CHANCE <11 development and winning. This can be a special year for us,” Lacob says.

In his second season with Santa Cruz, Head Coach Aaron Miles wants to establish a culture of winning and give players the opportunity to learn, grow and get called up to the NBA. Before starting his coaching career last year, Miles played ball himself—carrying Kansas to two consecutive final four appearances, briefly playing for the Golden State Warriors in 2006 and playing overseas in Russia, France, Spain, and Greece.

There’s a sense of pride and swagger that comes with being a part of the Warriors organization. Players want to fit into the

dynasty that is Golden State, where they could get assigned at a moment’s notice.

While Miles hopes that all of his players get to follow in his footsteps and play in the NBA, he says that “In reality, that is probably not going to happen.”

Shooting guard Will Cherry, who already has some NBA experience, grew up in Oakland. He says that getting to play for the Golden State Warriors would be a dream come true. “Everyone wants to play for their home team and represent the city they grew up in,” he says.

Cherry’s personal goal is to be a better defender. The 2018-19 Sea Dubs should be a defensively minded ball club, concentrating on defensive efficiency, forcing turnovers, and grabbing defensive rebounds.

Going forward, leadership is already a skill at his disposal. In addition to briefly playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cherry spent time playing for clubs in Lithuania, Germany, Turkey, and Croatia. Each team asked him to lead offensively and defensively, he says, expecting him to rack up assists and make sure his teammates were in the right spots.

“It’s easy to be a leader when things are good,” Cherry says. “A man’s true character is how he responds when things are going bad.”

The Santa Cruz Warriors play their home opener against the Stockton Kings at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at Kaiser Permanente Arena in downtown Santa Cruz. For ticket information, visit santacruz.gleague.nba.com.

Griggs predicted that Watsonville and downtown Santa Cruz would be subject to liquefaction if a big enough earthquake hit. He wasn’t wrong.

“Lots of people ask me when the big one is coming,” Griggs says. “The point of this book is there isn’t going to be one—there’s going to be lots of big ones because of where we live.

The 1989 earthquake was probably the biggest we are going to see in most of our lifetimes, but there will be more.”

Griggs lives on the lower Westside of Santa Cruz, just inland enough to not have to worry about immediate sea level rise or flooding. It must be reassuring to be his neighbor.

But most people can’t afford to live next to Gary Griggs, realistically, and one problem is that those who can’t afford to live in town often end up looking to buy in Love Creek or Felton Grove, which experience much more frequent flooding.

“Homebuyers rely on the realtors, but the realtors don’t know. They aren’t scientists,” he says. “I give this talk to the realtors every year about coastal geology and natural disasters.

They have really responded, because I show a lot of pictures and they think, ‘Huh, maybe I should reevaluate that house I just sold on the cliff.’ They get pretty shook up.”

The Monterey Bay Region is known for its picturesque views, prime surf spots and redwood forests. When surrounded by such beauty, Griggs points out that it’s easy to forget the extensive history of disasters. The point of Between Paradise and Peril is to educate the community, particularly those that just moved to the Monterey Bay area, about the extensive history of natural disasters in this area and what to expect in the future.

Griggs points out that although we live in a natural disaster hotspot, the number of deaths from natural disasters is extraordinarily low compared to the fear and hype around them. In fact, he says, people are more likely to die from a dog bite or bee sting than an earthquake or tsunami.

“People in my classes are afraid of sharks, mountain lions and tsunamis,” Griggs says. “There’s never been a shark death in Monterey Bay, >16

NEWS HISTORICAL FRICTION <14 I don’t think there’s been a mountain lion death, and one person died from a tsunami. Opiod deaths and drive-by shootings are much higher and more common here.”

Griggs says he’s always been an optimistic, motivated person. “People say their glass is half full or half empty. Mine is overflowing,” he says.

But he’s the first to admit that when it comes to climate change, things are not fine. There have been many setbacks in the last couple of years, including reinvestment in the coal industry, but he says there are still things that can be done to combat climate change in particular, and that hope is essential.

“I always tell people the most important thing they can do is vote, and I hope that in the long run there are enough people that are smart enough to make good decisions. The trouble right now isn’t Trump, it’s the number of people who believe in him and back him,” Griggs says. “We talk about tipping points and points of no return, and I think that’s a little bit misleading because I don’t think we necessarily have a tipping point where everything goes off the edge. It’s more of an incremental increase. It’s good in that it takes a while, but it’s bad because people aren’t as likely to respond to it.”

On a local level, he notes that Santa Cruz is unique because the majority of people are not climate deniers—they fall on the same side of the political spectrum, but disagree over specifics.

“What’s interesting is in Santa Cruz we have environmentalists fighting environmentalists over issues,” Griggs says, noting that two of the biggest arguments lately have been over the rail trail and rent control, which appeared on Nov. 6 ballots. “It has everyone riled up, and it’s probably not going to end anyone’s life. There’s some perspective in that.”

Treehouse Dispensary

NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Jan. 1, 2018 was a big day for dispensary owners all over California, but for local business owner Bryce Berryessa, it was particularly special. Berryessa opened Treehouse Cannabis Dispensary in Soquel on the same day recreational cannabis became legal. He had a vision for a new dispensary rooted in community (which is now the Treehouse tagline) and wanted to create a space that did more than just showcase products behind glass.

security and are set up in a way that gets people in and out quickly. With couches and wooden furniture for lounging and too many plants to count, Treehouse doesn’t fit the traditional mold, and there isn’t a big glass case in sight.

“Our goal is to make the moment that customers walk in warm and inviting, with no barrier to asking questions and learning more,” says Marketing Manager Jessica Grace.

“The name Treehouse came from a double entendre, tree being a synonym for cannabis in the Bay Area but then also when you are younger a treehouse is a place of magic devoid of any stress,” Berryessa says. “That’s the environment we wanted to create and showcase.”

Most everything in the store is local, from the wood panelling to the products and employees. Treehouse was built out of the former 9,000 square foot Senate Furniture lot. It’s such a large space that they are putting half towards community use and are opening up the second floor area for locals to use for events and classes.

Shopping for cannabis can be an awkward, uncomfortable experience, particularly for those new to it. Many dispensaries aren’t welcoming, they have intimidatingly high

“We want to offer the space in a way that’s valuable to the community, to groups that are too big for a living room but can’t rent the Marriot for the day,” Grace says.

“Whether it’s a book club or yoga class, people will be able to go to our website and look at a calendar to reserve the space for members of the community.”

Treehouse staff hopes to bring community together around art, music, or events, not necessarily cannabis. Treehouse is currently the only dispensary that’s part of the Santa Cruz Green Business Program and Think Local First. It’s also the only business in Soquel that participates in First Fridays by hosting local artists and musicians. But the community investment doesn’t stop within the store, Berryessa prefers to bank with the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union (SCCCU) to keep their money local, too.

“One reason we like banking with SCCCU is because a lot of products we carry are local and we like to invest back into the local system,” Berryessa says. “We are locally owned and want to keep as much of our money in the

community as possible.”

Berryessa has been banking with the credit union for around six years, and prefers to support other local communities not only because investing in the community is important, but because the Treehouse business is contributing to and promoting a larger local network.

“When I am engaged with the people who live close to me I feel safer in the community and I feel like I am more a part of something that is larger than myself,” Grace says. “There is a sense of belonging with that in investing locally.”

HARDER QUESTIONS HOW DID THE FOUNDER OF UCSC’S COLLEGE DEMOCRATS END UP AS DONALD TRUMP’S PERSONAL LAWYER? BY JACOB PIERCE

POWER LAWYER UCSC graduate Harder in his

Beverly Hills office. PHOTO: TED NGUYEN

C

“If you told any of us back in 1990 that he’d be working for Trump, we’d say you’re fucking crazy, because he was a liberal guy,” says a former high-ranking staffer at the Independent, who asked to remain anonymous.

Harder remembers starting the College Democrats club, and says he served as president for about three years. These days, no one at the organization has records going back that far, nor does anyone from the Student Organization Advising and Resources Department.

If the town leaned liberal in Harder’s college days, Santa Cruz’s Democratic Party has solidified its local presence in the years since. Only 9 percent of Santa Cruz city voters supported Trump in the 2016 election, onefifth of the popular vote percentage that the current president earned nationwide.

The Washington Post reported that Harder donated $500 to Barack Obama in 2008 and voted in the 2016 Democratic primary, but that, in December 2016, after Trump’s election, he changed his party affiliation to nonpartisan. He won’t say how he voted in 2016, but stresses that he’s long written checks to candidates of both parties, expressing an affinity for politicians like former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“It’s nice that we have a secret ballot,” Harder says. “I don’t think I’ve ever disclosed who I’ve voted for, at least not to a reporter.”

Hush with FameHarder has been working for Trump on a few cases, including the lawsuit brought by porn star Stormy Daniels over a

dispute about hush money stemming from an alleged affair she had with the president.

Harder’s also defending him against former aide and fellow reality television star Omarosa Manigault.

Trump may be one of the most polarizing presidents in American history, but Harder says representing him has nothing to do with politics.

“The things where I’ve represented the president—they really have nothing to do with public policy,” Harder says, his shoes kicked off in his Beverly Hills office, revealing socks with a pattern of dancing hula girls. “I’m not representing him on immigration, or the environment, or the economy, or foreign policy.

I have nothing to do with any of that. So people should not look to me as if I have any role to play on that, because I don’t.”

He says he doesn’t have a “litmus test” for potential clients. Rather he takes on cases that he likes and that he thinks have merit, and that he turns about two-thirds of potential cases away.

Harder is also representing the Trump campaign and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. He represented Melania Trump in a defamation suit against the Daily Mail that settled for $2.9 million. Last year, he wrote the New York Times a letter on behalf of Harvey Weinstein, threatening to sue if the paper published its months-long investigative report into sexual assault allegations against the movie mogul. Harder resigned from Weinstein’s legal team a few days after the story, 22>

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018

harles Harder fell in love with UCSC the first time he visited in the fall of 1986.

He remembers the wispy clouds, bright blue sky and wet-glistening dew of the forest around him. The scene reminded him of the camping trips that his best friend’s mom would take him and his buddy on to National Parks like Yosemite. “I was over the moon, I just loved it,” Harder remembers. “It was like we were simpatico.”

The following year, Harder moved from the San Fernando Valley to Santa Cruz, where he began his freshman year at UCSC as a biology major, but soon switched to politics.

He embedded himself in the local Democratic scene, leading the UCSC College Democrats.

“No one else wanted to do it,” he says. He interned with then-Assemblymember Sam Farr and served on liberal county Supervisor Gary Patton’s staff. He remembers winning awards from Farr, Dianne Feinstein, Leon Panetta and Henry Mello. Harder served for one quarter as managing editor of the Santa Cruz Independent, a campus newspaper at the time. He took theater arts classes and sang as a tenor in the elite UCSC Chamber Singers choir. Thirsty for adventure, he biked across the country on a summer vacation in 1989, at age 19.

Those who knew Harder, a 1991 graduate of the university’s Merrill College, and have followed his post-college career have been surprised to see where it has led him. Now an attorney, he’s defending Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, as his personal lawyer.

HARDER QUESTIONS <21 which would later win a Pulitzer Prize, was published.

Harder’s big break was representing Hulk Hogan against Gawker Media in a case that earned a $140 million judgment. Of course, he wasn’t exactly a smalltime attorney at the time, having already represented Hollywood celebrities like Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, George Clooney, Sigourney Weaver, Bradley Cooper, Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon and Lena Dunham.

Harder’s earlier Hollywood work often focused on celebrity images, like when a furniture company was using Eastwood’s name and image to sell chairs without his permission.

Harder, whose two sons attend middle school in Santa Monica, has clear turquoise eyes, and were it not for his silvering brown hair, would look a decade younger than his 48 years. Sitting in the sunlit communal “living room” area of the law office, he asks me not to record—an uncommon request from sources in news interviews. He says it’s always been his policy with reporters.

Politically, Harder says he strongly supports the environment and civil rights, but also believes that government spending and taxes are out of control. He has a vision that government should work more like a smartphone app, like Uber.

Disillusioned by the news media, he sees CNN and the New York Times as being as far to the left as Fox News is to the right. His views, he says, have evolved slowly over time.

Sam Farr, a Democrat who represented the Monterey Bay in the House of Representatives for 20 years, has vague memories of Harder, even though he had probably about 100 other interns after Harder’s tenure. Farr remembers him as very likeable and “a real go-getter.” Although Farr wasn’t familiar with Harder’s career, he isn’t surprised to hear that his former intern found success as an attorney. Farr thinks Harder’s success shows how valuable an internship can be, as it shows how government processes work. He

hopes the experience has made Harder a better citizen and a better lawyer.

Farr is a little disappointed, though, to hear about some of the shifts in Harder’s politics.

“It seems like his desire to be big lawyer has stepped on the good learning he got at UC Santa Cruz,” Farr says, before adding something his Democrat father, who had been raised conservative before attending UC Berkeley, told him: “People with good educations don’t end up as Republicans.”

“Sure, some do,” Harder responds, when asked about Farr’s quip.

“But I’m not a Republican, so no comment on that one.”

CLIENT PRIVILEGED Sitting across from Harder in early October, I got a clear sense of what it would take my fellow left-leaning friends in Santa Cruz a couple more weeks to learn: Trump could prevail in his legal battles against Daniels.

Say what you want about Harder—you might find his politics confusing or perhaps believe that he’s protecting a president who shows dangerously authoritarian tendencies. In conversation, though, even a total novice could plainly see that Harder is a serious lawyer.

I knew, even in the midst of my discussion with him, that this was a bizarre revelation to come to.

Considering that he is an attorney involved in one of the news cycle’s highest-profile lawsuits, it should go without saying. But I only had to follow the antics of prosecuting attorney Michael Avenatti, who seems to be using the legal system to run for the Democratic nomination for president—and whose skill for trolling the American public nearly matches that of the sitting president himself—to know that Daniels, sympathetic as many Americans might find her, might not have an easy day in court.

“Lawyers run the gamut,” Harder says. “You could have a lawyer that barely passed the bar and is unethical. You could have lawyers that are super geniuses, but they’re

evil geniuses. You could have lawyers who are super by-the-book.

The approach that I take is that I have fun, but I’m very serious.”

The October ruling was not central to the Daniels-Trump hush money feud itself—that remains to be decided—but rather concerned a tweet that the president had sent about Daniels, which she claimed was defamatory. In throwing out the case, the judge ordered Daniels’ team to pay Trump’s legal fees.

Avenatti immediately appealed the decision. In the days after, Avenatti suffered two other legal setbacks— an eviction notice for his law firm and an order to pay a former associate $4.85 million.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018

Before the Daniels affair, Harder’s most controversial case came in 2016, when his team won $140 million for his client, the wrestler Hulk Hogan, against Gawker after the online news gossip site posted a video of Hogan cheating on his wife and having sex with his best friend’s wife.

The Netflix documentary Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press painted the lawsuit as a frightening moment for American journalists, many of whom are open to attack by a president who has called them “the enemy of the people” and threatened to expand the reach of libel laws.

The Gawker suit was funded, to the tune of a reported $10 million, by Peter Thiel, a venture capitalist who

had a vendetta against Gawker, at least in part, because the site outed him as gay. (Theil, coincidentally, later served as an advisor to Trump, most notably on his transition team to the presidency.) Free press advocates have raised concerns that other billionaires might use the courts to take down news outlets they don’t like.

Harder says he was surprised by the dollar amount, which was $40 million above what they had asked for, and which he believes would have been reduced on an appeal.

Gawker ultimately went bankrupt.

He’s also adamant that Gawker’s blatant refusal to take down the video amounted to a “horrific privacy violation”—arguing that, were it not for outside help, Hogan would have never been able to afford the legal fees.

“The man was in his home. The doors were closed. He had no idea he was being recording. Everything was consensual. The public’s not allowed. The jury 100 percent agreed,” Harder says.

When he reads and watches the news, Harder feels that it’s very often too one-sided. He believes the news should be straight-ahead, showing two sides of an issue. He argues that the New York Times shoots itself in the foot for printing negative coverage, like its monthslong investigation into the Trump family’s inheritance, arguing that it will turn many readers away, although he also predicts the story will win a Pulitzer Prize.

<23 “It’s way too partisan. It’s dangerous, and I think the American people are not happy about that, either,” says Harder, suggesting that former President Obama would probably agree. “We’ve gotten a lot more polarized as a people. The tone of what people are saying is getting more and more chilling, and I don’t think that’s productive. It used to be that we would disagree with each other, but now we’re arguing more.”

Harder has spoken favorably about changing libel laws, though certainly with less bravado and more nuance than Trump does.

In particular, Harder argues that the burden on plaintiffs is far too high to prove that a given reporter had “actual malice” and “reckless disregard for the truth,” making the current framework unfair.

In addition to the Daily Mail and Gawker, Harder has taken on other media organizations. He hasn’t

always prevailed, but the legal news website Above the Law wrote, “If you’re looking for a lawyer to bring a publication to its knees, Harder’s the leader in the clubhouse.”

Conn Hallinan, a longtime journalist who served as UCSC’s print media adviser and remembers the Independent, paints Harder’s media work as a “dangerous” piece in a changing landscape of threats to news organizations.

“If someone sues you, you may be able to win the case, but the average decision for one of those suits is $45,000. If small publications get charged with defamation, it may put them out of business. Anything that encourages these cases is very dangerous to the press,” says Hallinan.

Harder insists that he isn’t against a free press, just bad actors.

He stresses also that he doesn’t only represent celebrities and

his business decisions.

“Charles is doing his job. He’s got a client, and lawyers defend their clients,” Everitt says. “He’s an enormously thoughtful person, and he has an enormous respect for the rule of law. When he gets up in the morning, I think he does the best job he can for his clients.”

political figures. He’s been working on two cases that he has petitioned to the U.S. Supreme Court—one on behalf of a woman he says was defamed on Yelp.com, and another for an alleged rape victim of comedian Bill Cosby.

Amy Everitt, who worked with Harder at the Independent, first met Harder during their freshman year and shared politics classes with him.

An ardent defender of freedom of the press, she believes journalists should be able to pursue any news story they want to. She says that many times, however, media outlets like Gawker cross the line, delving into personal issues with no news value, and should face the consequences.

Everitt, now the state director of NARAL Pro-Choice California, hasn’t kept in touch with Harder, but, like many who remember his college days, she has no issue with

Les Gardner, a longtime leader in the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party, remembers when he brought Jerry Brown to UCSC in 1990. Brown, then a former governor, was campaigning on a get-out-the-vote effort for Democrats like Dianne Feinstein, then a former San Francisco mayor who was running for governor.

Gardner enlisted Harder to draw the biggest turnout possible to the Great Meadow for the rally.

When Gardner checked in with the student leader, he learned that Harder had printed out two flyers, a serious-looking blue one and a seperate teal one that read “Governor Moonbeam”—a nickname that, unbeknownst to Harder, Brown hated. The thought of Brown catching sight of one of those signs worried Gardner, and the night before the event, Harder went through campus, ripping down each Moonbeam sign one by one. Gardner heard that Brown would be going to visit the chancellor, and once he learned Brown’s route, he doublechecked to make sure the flyers had all come down along the way. The ordeal served as a reminder that, for all his ambition, Harder was just 20 years old.

“He was a very bright young man,” Gardner says with a laugh. “And he had a great spirit, but he was a kid.”

The event had a huge turnout. In retrospect, Gardner concedes that the flyer was awfully creative.

Harder says, for a while, he considered running for Santa Cruz City Council, and he can’t remember why he ended up moving back to Southern California.

Sitting in his Rodeo Drive law office last month, Harder tells me that he likes the area, although

he’s not crazy about the glitz of his address. He wonders if the sight of the words “Beverly Hills” might cause some jurors—and even some judges—to roll their eyes before proceedings get under way.

Harder says he tries to keep his workload manageable. It’s not uncommon for him to show up at 9:30 a.m. and leave around 3:30 or 4 p.m., but he often works in the early morning or late at night from home, trying to make himself available 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. “I don’t work that hard, to be honest with you,” Harder says. “I’ve got people in the office that do the vast majority of the work.”

Almost three decades after graduating, Harder says that Santa Cruz is still one of his favorite places in the world, and he often pictures himself moving back one day. He wonders aloud if the town would be welcoming.

“I just love Santa Cruz. I would love to teach at UCSC someday,” he says. “I hope that Santa Cruz has an open enough mind that they could allow somebody in their city and on their campus that may not agree with all their views and perspectives.”

Sam Farr, who retired from Congress in 2016, says it’s an idea that the university should be open to. “They want people who can encourage thinking. It certainly would depend on how good of a teacher he is,” Farr says. “They wouldn’t want some goofy rightwing guy.”

UCSC spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason tells GT, via email,

that “someone’s viewpoint would not preclude them from working at UC Santa Cruz.” Typically, he adds, when the school hires someone to teach, it’s a lecturing appointment, where the university picks lecturers via an open hiring process from jobs that are posted on its website. Those “jobs are defined based on curricular need,” explains Hernandez-Jason, and college deans consider all qualified applicants, regardless of political affiliation.

When I follow-up with Harder via email, to ask about his experience and teaching style, he says that he’s given many talks, usually to attorneys on topics like defamation, privacy law, and the First Amendment. Harder thinks he would be “a spectacular teacher” and says that teaching at UCSC would be a “dream come true.”

When on stage, he says, he tries to engage the audience, channeling Mark Twain, who in addition to being a novelist and a humorist, would pack concert halls with fans eager to hear him speak.

“My two sons are applying to high school right now in L.A. Perhaps when they are in college, especially if one of them gets accepted to UCSC and attends, then I will definitely apply for a teaching job there,” Harder says. “My father is convinced that the best job in the world for me is chancellor of UCSC. He’s probably right, but I’m sure there are several steps in the process, including teaching classes for several years, becoming a leader in the UCSC Academic Senate, etc. It would be unreal.”

productions, juggling schedules, or teaching classes, Williams is hauling a stadium seating unit out of the storage bin to be transported to the performance space.

This is Rainbow Theatre’s 25th season, and Don Williams has been there every step of the way. “Our main direction and focus is pursuing

cultures of color,” he says. “It’s not just that we do an Asian, African American, or Latin American play, but that we do them all in one season. These students work together as a cohort. They do these shows as a team.”

This year’s selected A and B program Rainbow Theatre shows

include the Asian-American show Stop Kiss, African-American show The Coloured Museum, and Latinx/ Chicanx show Real Women Have Curves. Each show explores themes related to each respective culture, identity and experience.

called Rainbow II. There, students review 10-15 scripts that tell stories of diversity. Plays may come from India, Cuba, the Philippines, or Compton, and students are welcome to add their suggestions to the mix. “We tell them, ‘If you see a show that moves your spirit, submit it,’” says Williams.

After much discussion, the class chooses the best in each category.

“This is student-run,” he notes with pride. “As a mentor, I sit on the same side of the table as them.”

There are student actors, designers, directors, and even students on the board of directors who serve as cultural ambassadors for the program. The process and language are inclusive, involving them in everything from production to finance.

“We learn who has follow-through and communication skills,” Williams says.

“Can they say what they need, what they want? Then we can pursue it.”

One of the surprising aspects of Rainbow Theatre is that many students who participate aren’t theater arts majors. “They may be biochemists,” says Williams, “or studying to be doctors. But they love the arts, and when they have an opportunity to engage, they’re often impressive. Some of the best actors I’ve ever directed have become doctors.”

When asked how theater shapes our conversations about race and identity, Williams puts it plainly.

“It cuts to the chase,” he says.

“To do a play, you have to know the characters. You analyze their every move. When you lock in a character’s motive and moment, that’s what tells the story.”

Williams points out that for too long, art created by people of color has been on the back burner. “It’s due to many things, including financial aspects, but also the fact

that people of color are not in the limelight to actually present it,” he says. “As a society, we should be empowering that to happen more, because for us to really understand each other, we have to have stories we can see and hear, things we can view. They bring a commonality we can all embrace.”

This season, Rainbow Theatre will present a poetry reading and four plays, but equally compelling are the real stories that come out of the program. “I had a student who wanted to study law,” says Williams.

“She worked on the tech crew because she was fearful of acting.

But she watched and learned and wrote a play. We ended up producing it and the next year she wrote another one. We produced that, too.

End of story, she went to Yale to become a playwright. Now her plays are produced professionally.”

Rainbow Theatre helps students of color feel like they belong.

Williams empathizes with the black student who may be coming to UCSC from Oakland or L.A. “They come into the dorm to find one or two students who even look like them, let alone talk like them.

They’re trying to find a place for themselves,” he says. This is the gift that Rainbow Theatre offers to its participants and its audience, a compelling reminder that if we are all in this together, then every story counts.

Rainbow Theatre’s A and B programs run through Sunday, Nov. 11. Program C runs Friday, Nov. 16-Sunday, Nov. 18.

MUSIC

A LITTLE TRAVELING MUSIC Houston trio Khruangbin brings influences from around the world to their funk-psych sound.

Global Tracking

H

ave you ever flown to a foreign country and wanted to listen to that country’s music as you were zipping through the skies? That was kind of the idea behind the “curated playlists” that Houston, Texas trio Khruangbin set up last summer on their website, calling it “Air Khruang.” You can generate a Spotify playlist of their recommendation based on your city of departure and your destination.

These playlists tell you everything you need to know about the band.

The mostly instrumental laid-back

trio mixes surf, funk, soul and psychrock with diverse global elements, so it’s kind of a creative way for them to share cool, obscure music of the world while also pointing a big shiny finger at their influences.

The idea came up because the band got a lot of press when they released their debut album The Universe Smiles Upon You in 2015. They cited ’60s Thai music as an influence, earning them the label of “Thai funk” from music journalists. Last summer, they had some time off from touring and thought it would be fun to curate some global music playlists.

“I wanted to find a way to connect with our audience in a period where we weren’t out connecting with them physically,” says bassist Laura Lee. “They’d ask us, ‘How do we find Thai music and music from all around the world?’ We decided to use this.”

Not only do most people in the U.S. not know what “Thai funk” sounds like, but the group also wasn’t really playing Thai music, per say. It just happened that they were listening to a lot of vintage Thai music when they formed, and it seeped into their songs. You’d have to understand the nuances of

Khruangbin plays at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25. 423-1338.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018

Khruangbin takes listeners around the world in a playlist BY AARON CARNES

the rhythms and note choices of Thai music to even understand that influence.

“It's kind of weird for people to keep calling us that,” says guitarist Mark Speer. “It’s like, ‘Dude, you should probably go listen to some actual Thai music, because although we are influenced by it, we aren’t Thai. We are from Houston, Texas.

We like playing music that we like.”

For their second record, Con Todo El Mundo, released earlier this year, the influences broadened. The band members were digging a lot of Middle Eastern funk, soul and garage rock. Those elements come into play on this new record, but it’s not a major shift.

“Mark is always researching to find new music,” Lee says. “I think because I knew the effect of listening to a certain type of music and what it has on your subconscious, we were listening to a particular playlist a lot before we went into recording.”

The band’s music is difficult to define, and as more and more people listen to global music on Spotify, it’s going to be more challenging to use the traditional genre labels to categorize musicians.

“Streaming is based on moods,” says drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson.

“You go to whatever streaming platform you’re on and you can basically select the mood based on however you’re feeling. Moving into this next phase of how people consume music, that’s only going to become more prevalent.”

Thinking about the vibe the music creates leads to a more clear through-line of Khruangbin’s sound. The band’s songs drift in soft grooves with spacious atmosphere and paints surreal desert landscape images with its tender textures.

Speer’s guitar lines are used as de facto vocals.

“A lot of times with the things he’s playing, he’s trying to sound like singers in a foreign language, and the particular inflections that they have melodically on their vocals,” Johnson says.

Let that be a lesson for those who feed the birds—you might get more than you bargained for. This illustrated modern folktale is a collaboration between local illustrator Mike Benzce, who helped put together the graphic novella, and songwriter Nels Andrews, who wrote a song to narrate the story. It’s based on a real concept of crows bringing back shiny trinkets to those who feed them, and is set on the Central Coast. Join the two artists in celebrating the debut of the graphic novella.

FRIDAY 11/9 REEL ROCK 13 Adam Ondra is not a real human person—anyone can tell from watching him climb. He looks like he’s possessed, and kind of sounds like it too. It’s a kind of otherworldly grunting and screaming that’ll make Halloween seem like Easter. Ondra is one of the best climbers in the world, if not the best climber in the world. He recently climbed the hardest route in the world—a 5.15d, for reference—and made a movie about it. Why anyone would enjoy doing this, we don’t know, but it sure is fun to watch. Joining Adam Ondra is another climbing legend, Alex Honnold, who is also not really human because he likes to scale El Capitan without ropes. Reel Rock 13 is bringing both dudes to the big screen, along with a long-dismissed type of climbing—speed climbing— that may be finally getting its well-deserved due. Photo: Brett Lowell.

LOCAL BAND

MR. BOUNCE MAN Jeff Peters grew up going to raves in the early ’90s. A few short years later, some friends told him about Burning Man, which was where a lot of the raver kids were congregating to. He really dug it. A friend of his built an EDMblasting art car for the desert festival, which he called the “bounce car.”

“That sparked the love for the whole DJing aspect of music. I went full head-on from there,” says Peters, who DJs under the name Mr. Bounce Man. “We started with a pretty janky version. Every year we upgraded.”

NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Bounce Car is still very much a thing, with multiple DJs (including him) continuing to create a massive desert party at Burning Man every year. They also play other gigs, like at Decompression in San Francisco recently, to thousands of EDM fans.

38

“I’m trying to keep the music and vibe kind of bouncy. It’s creating an energy for people to follow,” Peters says.

When he’s not getting a massive dance party going on the bounce car, Mr. Bounce Man is doing solo gigs in more intimate spaces. The music is fun, high energy and usually revolves around house, hip-hop, trap and whatever else the crowd is digging on.

“I’m a person that’s been dancing since 15 or 16,” Peters says. “It’s always been a thing for me. It’s kind of like full circle to be able to make people move constantly and enjoy life in that way.”

TNERTLE

WEDNESDAY 11/7 HIP-HOP/FUNK

TNERTLE Enzo the turtle must burn down the sun in order to save his planet. That’s the storyline of Tnertle’s new album, Burning Down the Sun, released this week.

Full of cosmic vibes and aural exploration, the band’s blend of electro-funk and hip-hop is stronger than ever. They believe in the redemptive power of a live show, and it’s the riveting horn section that absorbs the dynamic energy of electronic music and transforms it into a living thing, giving it a buoyancy and vitality often missing in purely digital sounds. Which is exactly what Enzo will need to save his world. AMY BEE 9 p.m., Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $10/door. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 11/8 ROCK

AARON CARNES

TODD RUNDGREN

8:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 8, Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

Todd Rundgren’s resume reads something like a Jackson Pollock painting.

He was in the influential psychedelic band Nazz in the ’60s, then went on to make an “interactive” album of

hundreds of one-second clips (including Rundgren rapping). His ’70s hits “Hello It’s Me” and “We Gotta Get You a Woman” are classics of a cozy sort of piano-and-organ rock subgenre, while in the ’80s he composed for Pee Wee’s Playhouse. His appearance at the Rio Theatre is billed as “An Unpredictable Evening,” so he may even pull a few songs from his 1985 album composed entirely of vocal samples.

MIKE HUGUENOR

8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $39. 423-8209.

PSYCH-ROCK

SUPERNAUT Any Santa Cruzan with even a slight finger on the pulse of the scene knows the power of local psych supergroup Supernaut. For the rest of you living in your caves, this trio burst onto the scene in 2014, and throughout the years has bewitched audiences with tales of madness, magic and mayhem—culminating in their debut self-titled album, released last year. They’ll be joined at Flynn’s Cabaret by Los Gatos funk and blues ensemble the Summit Boys. MAT WEIR 8:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10/adv, $12/door. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 11/9 HIP-HOP

PUSHA T Forget about Pusha T’s public beef with Drake for a moment. His latest album Daytona is his best to date, and definitely a contender for hip-hop album of the year. It’s a tightly wound Kanye-produced record that shirks Pusha’s recent flirtation with pop hooks and goes back to hip-hop fundamentals. Pusha has a knack for conversational bite, which fits comfortably on top of Kanye’s oddball avant-rap beats. The seven songs are a direct, emotive expression of his world: hustling, selling drugs and buying expensive things. It’s a short cutting-edge record that exists on its own island. AC 7:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $38/door. 423-1338.

Garcia Band. Either way, he’s an onstage force for lovers of groove-heavy jam band tunes. He started playing with Garcia in 1980 and stayed in the band until the guitarist’s death in 1995.

Seals immediately started up JGB as a way to keep the fire lit. Nowadays, he plays under the moniker Melvin Seals and JGB—and he’s earned it. AC 9 p.m., Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

FOLK

CAITLIN JEMMA Caitlin Jemma has had plenty of time to consider the expanse of night sky, its panoply of stars and hazy configurations of cosmic dust. In a live video, she describes a youth of celebrating solstices and holding family talent shows on the days most visibly affected by the Earth’s place in the universe. The folk-by-way-ofsoul singer’s voice has mountainous twang, and winds its way around some heartbreaking melodies in her songs of wanderers, drifters and migrants. MH 8 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

DECREPIT BIRTH When local technical death rockers Decrepit Birth played the Glass House in Pomona in mid-October, lead singer Bill Robinson broke his leg in a stage dive gone wrong. But it came as no surprise to their fans when they announced that they’d continue “even if we have to wheel Bill out in a wheelchair.” Decrepit Birth showed the world how tough Santa Cruz really is, and at this show they’ll play with eight other heavy-hitting bands for a full day of headbanging fun.

He brought out the best in elemental bluesman John Lee Hooker and spent almost a decade touring and recording with ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek on the Translucent Blues project. But Rogers

has never tackled anything quite like StringShot, an ensemble that melds three singular voices into a protean pan-American supergroup. Featuring Paraguayan-born violinist/harpist Carlos Reyes, and Brazilian guitar goddess and vocalist Badi Assad, StringShot is in the process of translating tunes created in the studio for StringShot—Blues & Latin into vehicles for live exploration.

TUESDAY INDIE-POP

SURE SURE Indie-pop sweethearts Sure Sure have no tricks up their sleeves.

Instead, they play straightforward, sometimes breezy, but always catchy tunes which rely on good songwriting rather than dramatics. Sure Sure is willing to occasionally throw in a tiny jam or two to emphasize the mood or enhance their underdog sexiness, but ultimately it’s the bright, addictive hooks and fetching lyrics which propels them into the indie-star stratosphere.

METAL

Akae Beka was born in 2015. At the time, the prolific reggae artist Vaughn Benjamin was trying to figure out what to do after his band Midnite— one of the biggest reggae groups to come out of the Virgin Islands in the ’90s—had dissolved. His new project carries with it his highly spiritual, plain-spoken political and incredibly emotional take on ’70s-style roots reggae. He’s a true master, who keeps his vocals low-key but potent. And he plays with purpose now. The first show he ever played as Akae Beka just happened to land on Nelson Mandela Day. Fitting.

FILM

EVERY WITCH WAY Dakota Johnson stars as an American ballet star who joins a

German dance academy that doubles as a coven in ‘Suspiria.’

Attack of the Crones NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Ambitious remake of ’70s horror masterpiece ‘Suspiria’ ends up less than spellbinding BY STEVE PALOPOLI

44

I

t’s not hard to figure out why the new Suspiria—a remake of the 1977 horror masterpiece by Italian director Dario Argento that had languished in development hell for a decade—finally got made. From Netflix’s new The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series to American Horror Story’s latest season, Apocalypse (which is basically a sequel to its popular third season, Coven), witches are cool again.

And they’ve gotten a makeover for the modern age, evolving from the old-crone templates to hip symbols of liberated female power.

The problem with remaking Suspiria in that vein is that it’s difficult to imagine a more pointless movie than Argento’s Suspiria to throw a pussy hat on. A story about a coven operating in the secret halls

beyond the façade of a German dance academy, the original was steeped in dread powered by a sense of ancient evil. The climax of that film, in which new American student Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) finally confronts Helena Markos, the terrifying embodiment of Mother Suspiriorum, scared me more than any movie I’d ever seen the first time I watched it. With nearly the whole film set inside the dance academy, removed from the outside world, the story took on a fairy-tale quality, with Suzy piecing together the mysteries of the Tanz Dance Academy and youthful innocence standing up to the corruption of the establishment. It was a feminine story, but also an old one, drawing power from the way it tapped into

our cultural archetypes.

The new remake from director Luca Guadagnino tries to be the opposite of Argento’s original in every way, and there’s something to be said for that. The flood of scarymovie remakes that have already come and gone in this young century have proven that if a great (or even marginally notable!) horror movie can be remade, it will be. The least they can do is try a different approach.

So while Argento layered on famously vivid bursts of color, Guadagnino sticks mostly to bleak winter tones. While Argento set his film to the bombastic gothmetal of Goblin, Guadagnino uses whispered rhythms from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.

Those changes actually work

really well. But for a director who seems keen on fashioning a bold artistic statement with this remake, Guadagnino chases way too many trends. Socio-political horror à la Get Out and Hereditary is in? Let’s pull this story (still set in 1977) into the real world and obsess over the hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 181 and the postWorld War II division of Berlin!

Hmm, maybe let’s not. Unlike other recent horror movies that made a powerful gut-punch of a social statement, the new Suspiria approaches its historical element like a college thesis, and every time it ventures outside the walls of the academy, this way-too-long-andslow film flatlines.

But the worst change is a new layer that’s been nonsensically tossed on top of Suzy’s story arc; with the way it pays lip service to the notion of female empowerment, it seems desperate to latch on to the zeitgeist, but there’s no there there. I suppose perhaps a better actress than Dakota Johnson might have pulled it off, but I actually don’t even think it’s her fault. It’s just a stupid twist that I won’t spoil here; suffice it to say that it pushes a story that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to begin with into infuriatingly random territory.

The original Suspiria was a horror film that transcended into art. This remake is an art film that occasionally descends into gory horror. When it does, it’s way more Ken Russell than Dario Argento, a sea of writhing nude bodies and flashy symbolic montages.

This Suspiria remake will have some fans; like mother! last year, its extreme mix of high and low art can be as tantalizing as it is polarizing.

But ultimately, besides a great Tilda Swinton performance as the director of the academy—she also plays, much less convincingly, Helena Markos and an old man (!) whose story doesn’t belong in this movie at all—there’s nothing here to make Guadagnino’s Suspiria feel like anything beyond a failed experiment.

SUSPIRIA Directed by Luca Guadagnino.

Written by David Kajganich. Based on Suspiria by Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi.

FILM NEW RELEASES

NOVEMBER 7-13, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB Ever wonder what happened to Lisbeth Salander? David Fincher’s film adaptation of Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo seemed to be a critically acclaimed box-office hit in 2011, and there was a consensus that Rooney Mara made a great Lisbeth.

An adaptation of the second book in the trilogy, The Girl Who Played With Fire, was even announced for release in 2013 with the same cast and crew. When that date came and went, talk about the potential blockbuster franchise seemed to dry up—and since when does a studio let that happen? We may never know what actually sunk the original trilogy, but now we have an adaptation of the fourth book in the series, for which fellow Swedish author David Lagercrantz took over from the late Larsson. It recasts all of the characters, with Claire Foy now starring as Lisbeth, who is spending her time getting revenge for battered women, and is directed

by Don’t Breathe horror sensation Fede Alvarez. Co-starring Sverrir Gudnason and LaKeith Stanfield. (R) 117 minutes. (SP)

46

THE GRINCH They keep making adaptations of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Who Stole Christmas like they’re ever going to be better than the 1966 TV special. But with Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the famous green grump, this new cartoon version’s gotta be better than the live-action Jim Carrey mess. Directed

by Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier.

Starring the voices of Cumberbatch, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson and Angela Lansbury. (PG) 90 minutes.

(SP) OVERLORD Originally, this was supposed to be the latest movie in the Cloverfield series, but after that godawful debacle with The God Particle, I have a feeling no one’s going to want to touch that cinematic universe for a while. So apparently this is now just a standalone film about U.S. soldiers in World War II who drop behind enemy lines in preparation for D-Day and discover the Nazis preparing a zombie army. No big

whoop! Good thing they didn’t bring it into the Cloverfield universe and make it all crazy! Directed by Julius Avery. Starring Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell and John Magaro. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) WILDLIFE Actor Paul Dano from Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood makes his writer-director debut with this story of a family falling apart in the early 1960s. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Carey Mulligan and Ed Oxenbould. (PG-13) 104 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google.com/group/ LTATM.

NOW PLAYING A STAR IS BORN I know, I know, everybody loves Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, and they sing their own songs in this movie blah blah blah.

Here’s my bottom line: you want to complain about Hollywood making endless origin stories about the same comic book characters, and in general recycling plots over and over? They have done A Star is Born like five times. And it is always the same damn movie, all the way back to when it was Janet Gaynor and Fredric March 80 years ago. A. Star. Gets. Born. Besides, is it really going to get any better than Babs Streisand and Kris Kristofferson mildly heating up the screen in the 1976 version, supported by a young, not-yet-totally-nuts Gary Busey? OK, probably. But still! Directed by Cooper, starring Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott and thankfully not Busey. (R) 135 minutes. (SP) 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) BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY I’m not a Queen fan, but I want to see this!/ He’s not a Queen fan, he shouldn’t see this! Don’t save him a seat for this film masterpiece!/No it looks really good, will you let me go?/Bismillah!

No, we will not let you go!/Let me go!/ Bismillah! No, we will not let you go!/ Let me go!/Will not let you go!/Let me go!/Will not let you go!/Let me go!/ Ah no, no, no, no, no, no, no/Oh mamma mia, mamma mia! Mamma mia, let me go!/ Fandango has a ticket put aside for me! For me! For me!

Directed by Bryan Singer. Starring Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton and Ben Hardy. (PG-13) 134 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) 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) 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) 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) 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) NOBODY’S FOOL What do you give the filmgoer who already has Steve Carell? Why not Tiffany Haddish, who was in five films this year! This one is about a woman who gets out of jail on parole and comes up with a crazy plan to keep her sister from getting catfished on an online dating site. Guess which role Haddish plays? Directed by Tyler Perry. Co-starring Tika Sumpter, Omari Hardwick and Whoopi Goldberg. (R) 110 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) 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) SUSPIRIA Reviewed this issue. (R) 152 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK pie fieldwork yield the following observations. From Gayle’s comes a fully classic pumpkin pie: delicious, tender crust; silky, firm texture; great spice balance. The Buttery’s version offers a thinner crust and more custardy filling. Also good spice balance, but a lighter, more moist interior. Both pies satisfied our desire for a classic Thanksgiving flavor, and both are priced at around $3 a slice. A decently sized, not overwhelming, yet not stingy slice.

But there’s more research to be done. My waistline is expanding as I write this, but I am dedicated to discovering the top pumpkin pie in our area. Somebody’s gotta do it.

Davenport Delight

N

o one needs an excuse to take the short drive north to Davenport. Matchless ocean views, sweeping fields of strawberries and artichokes dotted with old ranch houses. Like many of you, we were fond of visits past to the fabled Cash Store, emporium of world textiles, jewelry and artifacts that formerly adjoined the rambling dining room. Now in its incarnation as the Davenport Roadhouse, the restaurant sports a full bar, live music on weekends, and a kitchen offering comforting California cuisine with tourist-worthy views of the blue Pacific.

My companion has developed a fondness for one particular lunch item—the fish tacos—and last week on a seriously gorgeous October day we headed for Davenport. Our destination was two-fold: wine from the Bonny Doon Tasting Room, followed by lunch at the Roadhouse next door.

Yes, we did have those tacos! (full disclosure: my companion uses this lunch dish as an excuse to indulge in a Diet Coke). For a mere $12 dollars the dish involves a huge platter—half tacos, half delicious black beans.

On the side arrived two little bowls, one of queso fresco the other of chipotle aioli. These were applied

liberally to the main attraction, soft corn tortillas filled with layers of marinated purple cabbage and nuggets of flash-fried fresh cod. On top of the brilliant purple cabbage lay a creamy avocado guacamole and ribbons of cilantro. Bite, sip, enjoy the view of sunlight glinting off the waves, repeat. Of course you don’t need an excuse to head north for some time in Davenport.

But I’ve just given you one anyway. davenportroadhouse.com.

Lunch getaway at Davenport Roadhouse, plus the quest for the finest local pumpkin pie begins BY CHRISTINA WATERS

Winemaker Randall Grahm provided me with follow-up thoughts on Bonny Doon Vineyard’s pivot toward a Cigare alternative, which he calls “the end of an era as well as a change of focus. Le Cigare Volant does have some very ardent followers but the way the wine is produced—i.e. long macerations, a higher acid style, coupled with the decision to use screw caps (which pushes wine back into a slightly reductive state), and you have a wine that really needs a few years in the bottle before release to be presentable. The reality is, however, my real passion at this point is to produce a true vin de terroir, not a vin d’effort, such as is the current Le Cigare Volant. A composed wine, produced from sundry terroir, while capable of deliciousness and balance, and even complexity, can never reveal the same degree of soulfulness as a wine of place, such as I aspire to produce at my San Juan Bautista vineyard Popelouchum.

The new style of Cigare Volant (or whatever it is we end up calling it) will be utterly delicious, drinkable, substantially less expensive than the current Cigare Volant, accessible to a younger audience, and above all, financially viable for us. Le Cigare est mort; vive Le Cigare.”

OVER A BARREL Effigy brewer Ben Ward has found a distinctive place in the local beer community with his ‘nomadic brewery.’ PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Be Beer Now New ‘nomadic brewery’ Effigy brews without an address BY LILY STOICHEFF

I

IPA with Seabright Brewery and a cask-friendly Brown Ale with East Cliff Brewing. Although most of these beers have already been enjoyed by thirsty customers, Ward says the next wave is coming in late November.

Having drank many Effigy beers over the years while working with Ward at the now-closed Seven Bridges Organic Homebrewing Supply, I can say his brews have earned their reputation for being well-crafted, balanced and delicious.

With over a decade of homebrewing under his belt, Ward has honed his skills working on commercial systems at Humble Sea, Shanty Shack and Elkhorn Slough, and others. Now, he wants his own brewery to focus on “California beer that’s sourced as locally as I possibly can. Right now, that means malts from Admiral Malting in Alameda, hops from Akiyama Hopyard in Watsonville and other California hop yards, and as much wild yeast and bacteria as I can capture. I want to lean heavily on relationships with farms and seasonality.”

Look for Effigy’s beers at local breweries, Lupulo and Beer Thirty later this month. effigybrewing.com.

f you’re tempted to roll your eyes at the idea of yet another craft brewery opening in Santa Cruz County, brewer Ben Ward agrees with you. That’s why his Effigy Brewing is a “nomadic brewery,” without its own production facility. Rather, Ward partners with other local breweries to use their production systems to make Effigy branded beers, which are then available at the breweries that he partnered with, as well as local taphouses.

Although he hopes one day to establish his own farmhouse brewery, with the entry rate at more than a million dollars, he’s not rushing to open a brick-and-mortar.

“I’ve gone from having the same idea as most other people, which is [that] I like homebrewing and I want to see what I can do commercially. The standard way to do that is finding a warehouse and doing what you can to get open,” says Ward. “But somewhere along the way, I realized that it doesn’t make sense to keep doing that, and I don’t think the community needs or wants that.”

As he finds his place in the beer community, Effigy has begun brewing a wave of collaboration beers with local breweries—a Berliner Weisse with Elkhorn Slough Brewing, a Double

Skov Winery An afternoon tasting wine among the redwoods at Skov BY JOSIE COWDEN

was really glad when Skov Winery opened again after closing up shop for a period of time. They are now back in full swing and open Saturdays for us to try their good wines.

Skov’s tasting room, which lies about two miles down Bean Creek Road in Scotts Valley, is in an idyllic spot surrounded by towering redwoods and lush vines. Certainly, it’s a delightful place to while away an afternoon of wine tasting. Skov, which means “forest” in Danish, is a perfect name for their wooded location, and even more appropriate considering co-owner Annette Hunt’s parents are Danish. Annette and co-owner husband David Hunt will be glad to serve you a flight or a glass when you visit them.

Skov’s wines are very reasonably priced. The 2015 Chardonnay is only $18—a bargain for a well-made wine that exhibits aromas of banana, pineapple and baking spices—with crisp flavors of citrus fruit, apple, pear, and a touch of vanilla.

You are welcome to bring a picnic to easygoing Skov, or order a snack from their menu. The Hunts say “it’s where the loudest sounds you hear

are the birds and occasional dog.”

The Hunts have a good-sized party room that they rent out for family or corporate events, “where you can enjoy a beautiful inside setting or outside near the vineyard.”

As the Hunts juggle daily work life and family (they have two daughters), I’m taking this opportunity to welcome the busy couple back to the world of wine.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SCORPIO—MOMENTS OF CRISIS AND NINE TESTS

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You may struggle to maintain equilibrium between desires for things to occur and what is actually possible.

It’s good to study the subject of sacrifice (coming from the heart)—the First Law of the Soul. At the center of sacrifice is Love—a paradox. Love and sacrifice are the same. We’re on Earth because we chose and sacrificed to be here. You may feel that you’ve become the warrior.

You have. Spiritual warriors are always triumphant.

In the next month consider how valuable your life is and the life of all those around you. Make many lists (write by hand) of all your talents, gifts, abilities, your kindnesses, good associations, good deeds, thoughts, ideas and plans. Here you will find your value. Place these lists on your walls, reading and reviewing them daily. This is the beginning of your self-identity as a server for humanity— the great tasks for all in the Aquarian Age.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You assess all relationships in terms of value. Something you always do, but more so now. Simultaneously, it’s most important to assess the values you offer others and if there is more you can give of Right Relations through intentions for Goodwill. You offer the goodness of yourself in relationships. Goodness is a purity and inner quality. What is your goodness and what do you offer others? Include all relationships. Remember true love isn’t a feeling.

Things go into hiding, especially you. Or you find someone else in hiding asking for assistance. There’s someone in your life who is very valuable to you. Be in contact with them. They’re knowledgeable and have the skills needed for your next creative stages. All of your creativity is important for humanity’s future. Money, too, may be hidden at this time. It’s available but you must call it forth and use it to help others.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Tend to all things great, small and necessary in daily life with the deepest attention. Observe all habits, agendas, and how you serve yourself, your work, your environments and all others in your worlds. We evolve step-by-step, beginning with tending to our physical, emotional and mental bodies. Then we progress to the Soul. Each day brood upon the service for the coming day. Do this as the Soul. Emotions are then calmed.

Life becomes subtler, slightly different, deep feelings of compassion awaken. Tend to debts and then give (tithe) to charity. Some examples of giving to those in need: St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital; Catholic Charities; Doctors Without Borders, the Heifer Project. These are difficult financial times for many. The spiritual law is what we give is returned tenfold. When we serve others, our life is spiritually cared for. Be of service. The Third Law of the Soul is service.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You reassess aspirations and goals the next two months. The Earth (soil, trees, plants) is very important to your well-being.

Make sure you’re out and about daily in the Sun and in nature— the most balanced kingdom. Its radiations strengthen your heart and mind, refocus your enthusiasm (“filled with God”), allowing calm practicality to emerge. You live the life of ideals.

It’s time for those potentials to enter form and matter. Where is your garden and who are your companions?

Things seem crazy at times, moving toward out-of-control.

Eliminate all things not absolutely necessary. A complete new identity is making itself apparent. This new identity is yourself. Allow the necessary changes to occur. Stand up for yourself in all ways. You are strong and confident. You don’t want the river of life to carry you downstream without a lifeboat. You’re to help create the new culture and civilization.

What interests you about this? Ponder on these things.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Ponder upon how you want to be seen, known and recognized in the world and in the context of helping to build the new culture and civilization—your work now.

You are to nurture the new era at its foundational stages because you are a leader. Begin your garden soon, have a worm bin, create biodynamic soil, save seeds. Then teach everyone your discoveries. Leo’s nurturance needs to move from self to the community called humanity.

You’re neither sentimental or emotional. You see the need for nourishment of self and others, realizing one source of nourishment is financial security. Let’s discuss how security looks in terms of a home and land? Visualize a home that you own. Draw each room, see those you love living close by, include a workspace for yourself, for the arts and for preparing pure foods. Work daily on this. Should there be pain in your body make golden milk each night before sleep.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Past friends, relationships, values, siblings, family and past resources should be renewed and contacted. They are valuable for reasons revealed in the future. Memories from the past hold great value to you. They hold out great mental possibilities and a way to understand the life stream of humanity through study and understanding of the mysteries. You should be studying your transits/astrology.

A return to a previous, perhaps put-aside creative work allows you to redefine, reassess and reaffirm its importance to your life’s work. There’s a renewed fire in the mind, calling you to two things. Amusement and a sense of play, much missed in your life for a long while. And direct creative work that reflects who you are now, today, and who you will become. All parts of you sing within a close spiritual unity. Om.

Scorpio is a most interesting sign, it is also the most mysterious. Before we enter Capricorn, Scorpio offers us points of crisis and moments of reorientation, two deeply important functions of Scorpio and of great value for us to understand (concerning ourselves as Scorpio, friends and family who may be Scorpio).

Our lives on Earth are our chosen Spiritual Adventure. There comes a time in one or more lifetimes when we find that we have divine curiosity, we want to understand the underlying motives of livingness (our lives), and we are eager to progress forward sanely and with serenity.

When we are thinking this way, we can know we are stepping upon the Path of Return. We want to be practical, to understand what is of value to us (Venus retrograde), and we want to pass all of the Nine Scorpio Tests. It is only through understanding

of these things and the nature of the tests that true insight may be cultivated. We then feel optimism and understand what it means to be a World Disciple.

Scorpio is the sign of the World Disciple.

The Nine Tests (nineheaded Hydra, which Hercules must confront) are divided into three major tests for the three levels of the personality (physical, emotional, lower mental). Each disciple must pass into Scorpio for testing nine times. Scorpio carries the tests down into the physical plane where the tests are faced and must be handled.

All of the tests and difficulties must be “carried up into heaven,” which means all problems must be solved through the use of the reasoning, illumined mind. Lifting all difficulties up to the Light of the Soul. We visualize this. (More on the Three Tests next week. And note, in Scorpio, the battle is on.)

REAL ESTATE OF MIND

Provoking thought since 1990 Today 10,000 people in the US will turn 65. In another 5 years, that number will jump further into the stratosphere. At the same time more people will be living longer than their parents did. How does this huge demographic shift relate to the decisions we are making today?

There’s not much mindful public dialogue happening around aging or the loosening fabric of our culture. Just an isolated web of separate discussions taking place among small, compartmentalized groups of friends and family members.

Or between a steady stream of inner voices talking loudly inside each person’s head, looking for some larger voice recognition pattern to fit into. This is my own small attempt to connect the thousand threads of the all those conversations. If it sounds familiar, welcome to the club.

Change. There’s nothing more certain. The entire universe is constructed around it. Any single thing along the continuum we call real or permanent exists only as the whisper of a fragment. A quick shutter of a snapshot taking place in the interlude between infinitesimal moments. A short stop along the periodic table as elements transform into energy and back again.

We are all verbs harboring the illusion that we are nouns. Narratives that keep trying to get a fix on our own stories by using abstract calculus as a plot device. Even though we are creatures of change, there’s also nothing we resist more than the “idea of change.”

Our neural pathways are like well-worn deer trails. The more they are used, the more fossilized they become in the underlying strata.

When that happens, we hunker down, start to operate on survival mode and fight to preserve what’s already past.

Why do so many people stay in houses they actively dislike? Or places that just don’t work for them? Because the prospect of change is scary. The known known, no matter how unpleasant, is often less frightening than the unknown known.

When we face the specter of change, it often feels like some shadow of our former self is about to step off the precipice into a bottomless abyss. We become convinced that without our accustomed neural pathways in play, we won’t know who we are anymore. Our ego structure will have to learn how to walk all over again, like a stroke patient trying to recover.

But walk the same way we always did? Or, intriguingly perhaps, in a whole new and different way? And that’s where we’ll stop. With the tiny idea that change can actually be something new and interesting rather than fearful and debilitating. It just might be something to embrace rather than resist.

SKILLET GARLIC BUTTER WINE & FOOD PAIRING HERB STEAK AND POTATOES Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespooon butter 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced about ½ inch thick 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped 1 teaspoon oregano, chopped 2 lean New York strip steaks Salt and pepper Garlic Compound Butter: ¼ cup softened butter 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped 1 teaspoon oregano, chopped

Instructions:

Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes, or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium high. Cook the steaks to desired doneness. Mine took about 10 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium well.

Right before the steaks are done, make the garlic compound butter. Mix the butter, garlic and fresh chopped herbs. Slather on top of steaks. Add the potatoes back to the pan and heat through, and let the butter melt into the steaks.

KEVIN:“We wanted to cook a brisket using our insulated smoker.We went to numerous stores looking for one but had no luck.” HELEN: “We were told strange things like,‘brisket is a winter meat.’ Shopper’s was recommended to us and we were impressed.” KEVIN:“We found out that Shopper’s has real butchers and you can talk with them! They left the perfect amount of fat on our brisket which turned out great.” HELEN:“The butchers will give you cooking tips and suggestions.We recently bought blade ribs which most stores don’t carry.”

What do you folks like to cook? HELEN:“I cook everything.” KEVIN:“She’s a volunteer for cooking magazine Taste of Home.” HELEN:“I do reviews, recipe tastings and I’ll also invent dishes which I’ll submit to them. Meals don’t have to be complicated; by using a few ingredients, recipes can be easily repeatable with good results.As a creative cook, I find myself inspired by some of Shopper’s organic spices.” KEVIN:“I bought a bag of sacred Peruvian salt here. It’s so good I haven’t opened it — maybe I won’t! You have a favorite aspect of Shopper’s? KEVIN:“Aside from the meats, I’d say the wine and liquor.”

How so? KEVIN:“Shopper’s has extraordinary wines— perfect for the holidays — and many liquors I’ve never seen before!” HELEN:“Speaking of holidays, for Thanksgiving, we’ll order a bone-in turkey breast, and make at least one pie and a special fruit dish mixing in one of Shopper’s exotic imported sauces.” KEVIN:“Shopper’s has hidden gems on every aisle, like Donnelly Chocolates! I have to add that aside from Shopper’s quality foods and fair pricing, we like their people — they seem happy to see you.” HELEN:“They’re all so friendly and helpful.The checkers always make us feel welcomed.
