OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I just looked back at my editor’s notes in the Santa Cruz Gives issues from the last couple of years and they are by far the longest I’ve ever written. Clearly, I can’t shut up about how much I love this program, how I think it’s the most important thing we do all year, and how I continue to marvel at how it’s helping to radicalize how we support our nonprofits in Santa Cruz County. So this year, I promised myself I wouldn’t get so worked up about the new holiday giving drive … well, except I have to mention that we just added one of the most fantastic sponsors we could possibly ask for: Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, which for the first time will be contributing $20,000 in matching funds to your donations.

The more your favorite nonprofits raise, the more they’ll receive of this year’s matching funds, which, with

Re: “The Harder They Come” (GT, 11/7): Nice recognition of a local grad who has done well for himself. I think it is important to recognize some facts in the case where he represented Hulk Hogan, Bollea v.

Gawker, a lawsuit that was tossed out of federal court originally and then shopped around until a favorable judge was found who would hear it in Florida. The case was paid for in large part by billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of Paypal and current Facebook board member who paid over 10 million dollars to finance lawsuits against Gawker. The case is considered by many to be fueled by right-wing money from Thiel over articles Gawker published, used to silence journalists and news media organizations.

TRULY SPOOKED The other day I was walking around my neighborhood with my dog. I do

the help of this new contribution, now total $27,000. Oh, and going into our fourth year now, I have to mention what has become one of my favorite things every time: watching the hard-working local heroes behind these groups bond over things like sharing new ways of connecting to donors who care about their causes and even competing in good fun (but passionately!) for the three Santa Cruz Gives awards: Most Donors Overall, Most Donors Under 35 Years Old, and Most Innovative Program. Those awards are made possible by Oswald, which reminds me that I want to thank them and our other partners, too—we could not do this without the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County, Santa Cruz County Bank and Wynn Capital Management.

Oh no, I’m doing it again, aren’t I? OK, then let me just point you to this week’s cover story for more on who you can give to this year and how.

Help us make this the most successful Santa Cruz Gives campaign yet!

that a lot. I take in the various holiday decorations. Halloween has become a bigger deal than it should be. There were skeletons, spider webs (overkill on the webs, folks), and tombstones. Witches hung from trees and pumpkins sported crooked grins. What I didn’t expect to see was a head of Barack Obama amongst the decorations on Windham Avenue. I was offended, as a person of color, but also mystified. Obama was the president for eight years. He does not hold any office and while one might put the head of, say, the Unabomber, or the Parkland shooter, (which would, by the way, be in terrible taste) this house chose to put Barack Obama. Was it meant to be amusing, scary? Was it a comment on his character? I mean, he’s only had one wife and didn’t spend his waking hours tweeting to everyone who criticized him.

Let’s face it, he took a lot of crap, just for being black, but never stooped to the level of his detractors. Apparently it’s open season now on anyone who is critical of the administration, colored, female, press, American. I don’t >8

Santa Cruz is still mourning the sudden and tragic passing of artist James Aschbacher.

In effort to preserve Aschbacher’s work, local art restorer Robert Echols has pledged to repaint and repair Aschbacher’s wooden animals in Hestwood Park’s children’s area, which have been badly weathered and vandalized since their 2002 installation.

Community members will gather for a rededication ceremony at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18 at Hestwood Park in Live Oak.

The California Office of Traffic Safety has awarded a $110,000 grant to the Santa Cruz Police Department for a year-long enforcement and public awareness program. The safety effort aims to educate about traffic laws and reduce the number of automobile injuries and deaths. Areas of focus include increased patrols at problematic intersections and a push to combat drunk driving.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 14 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Interior designer Dorothy Draper said she wished there were a single word that meant “exciting, frightfully important, irreplaceable, deeply satisfying, basic, and thrilling, all at once.” I wonder if such a word exists in the Chamicuro language spoken by a few Peruvians or the Sarsi tongue spoken by the Tsuu T’ina tribe in Alberta, Canada. In any case, I’m pleased to report that for the next few weeks, many of you Aries people will embody and express that rich blend of qualities. I have coined a new word to capture it: tremblissimo.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 According to my astrological intuition, you’re entering a phase when you will derive special benefit from these five observations by poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau.

1. “There are truths that you can only say after having won the right to say them.” 2. “True realism consists in revealing the surprising things that habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.” 3. “What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.” 4. “You should always talk well about yourself! The word spreads around, and in the end, no one remembers where it started.” 5. “We shelter an angel within us. We must be the guardians of that angel.”

GEMINI May21–June20

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Adolescence used to be defined as a phase that lasted from ages 13 to 19. But scientists writing in the journal The Lancet say that in modern culture, the current span is from ages 10 to 24. Puberty comes earlier now, in part because of shifts in eating habits and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. At the same time, people hold onto their youth longer because they wait a while before diving into events associated with the initiation into adulthood, like getting married, finishing education, and having children. Even if you’re well past 24, Gemini, I suggest you revisit and reignite your juvenile stage in the coming weeks. You need to reconnect with your wild innocence. You’ll benefit from immersing yourself in memories of coming of age. Be 17 or 18 again, but this time armed with all you have learned since.

tralize its obsessive and debilitating effects on you. That could empower you to make a good decision about the relationship you’ll have with it in the future.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others’ limited imaginations,” testifies Libran astronaut Mae Jemison. She adds, “I have learned these days never to limit anyone else due to my own limited imagination.”

Are those projects on your radar, Libra? I hope so. You now have extra power to resist being shrunk or hobbled by others’ images of you. You also have extra power to help your friends and loved ones grow and thrive as you expand your images of them.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of food. In second place is the Netherlands, which has 0.4 percent as much land as the U.S. How do Dutch farmers accomplish this miraculous feat? In part because of their massive greenhouses, which occupy vast areas of non-urbanized space. Another key factor is their unprecedented productivity, which dovetails with a commitment to maximum sustainability. For instance, they produce 20 tons of potatoes per acre, compared with the global average of nine. And they do it using less water and pesticides. In my long-term outlook for you Scorpios, I see you as having a metaphorical similarity to Dutch farmers. During the next 12 months, you have the potential to make huge impacts with your focused and efficient efforts.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “The world is like a dropped pie most of the time,” writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. “Don’t kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.” From what I can tell about the state of your life, Sagittarius, the metaphorical pie has indeed fallen onto the metaphorical floor. But it hasn’t been there so long that it has spoiled. And the floor is fairly clean, so the pie won’t make you sick if you eat it.

My advice is to sit down on the floor and eat as much as you want. Then carry on.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Cancerian baseball pitcher Satchel Paige had a colorful career characterized by creative showmanship. On some occasions, he commanded his infielders to sit down and loll on the grass behind him, whereupon he struck out three batters in a row—ensuring no balls were hit to the spots vacated by his teammates. Paige’s success came in part because of his wide variety of tricky pitches, described by author Buck O’Neil as “the bat-dodger, the two-hump blooper, the four-day creeper, the dipsy-do, the Little Tom, the Long Tom, the bee ball, the wobbly ball, the hurry-up ball and the nothin’ ball.” I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, because now is an excellent time for you to amp up your charisma and use all your tricky pitches.

Novelist Anita Desai writes, “Isn’t it strange how life won’t flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forward in a kind of flood?” I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect that the locks she refers to will soon open for you. Events may not exactly flow like a flood, but I’m guessing they will at least surge and billow and gush. That could turn out to be nerve-racking and strenuous, or else fun and interesting. Which way it goes will depend on your receptivity to transformation.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

“Miracles come to those who risk defeat in seeking them,” writes author Mark Helprin. “They come to those who have exhausted themselves completely in a struggle to accomplish the impossible.” Those descriptions could fit you well in the coming weeks, but with one caveat. You’ll have no need to take on the melodramatic, almost desperate mood Helprin seems to imply is essential. Just the opposite, in fact. Yes, risk defeat and be willing to exhaust yourself in the struggle to accomplish the impossible; but do so in a spirit of exuberance, motivated by the urge to play.

“Everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head,” writes fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss. “Always. All the time. We build ourselves out of that story.” So what’s your story, Leo? The imminent future will be an excellent time to get clear about the dramatic narrative you weave.

Be especially alert for demoralizing elements in your tale that may not in fact be true, and that therefore you should purge. I think you’ll be able to draw on extra willpower and creative flair if you make an effort to reframe the story you tell yourself so that it’s more accurate and uplifting.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In describing a man she fell in love with, author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote that he was both “catnip and kryptonite to me.” If you’ve spent time around cats, you understand that catnip can be irresistible to them. As for kryptonite: it’s the one substance that weakens the fictional superhero Superman. Is there anything in your life that resembles Gilbert’s paramour? A place or situation or activity or person that’s both catnip and kryptonite? I suspect you now have more ability than usual to neu-

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear,” warned author G. K. Chesterton. “It annoys them very much.” My teachers have offered me related advice. Don’t ask the gods to intervene, they say, until you have done all you can through your own efforts.

Furthermore, don’t ask the gods for help unless you are prepared to accept their help if it’s different from what you thought it should be. I bring these considerations to your attention, Pisces, because you currently meet all these requirements. So I say go right ahead and seek the gods’ input and assistance.

MORE HALLOWEEN THOUGHTS In the spirit of the recent Halloween holiday and all things spooky and scary I felt compelled to respond to a recent “Local Talk” question: “What scared you

as a kid, and what scares you now?”

My answer: Ironically, nothing scared me as a kid, as I had a fun and fearless childhood. However, now as an adult, I am terrified of quite a lot—poverty, cancer, irreversible pollution, rapists, murderers, creepy spy games, drug trafficking, prostitution rings, and widespread police/ government corruption, to name a few!

There, how's that for scary? Take that, Halloweenies!

Thanks for the forum.

NEWS RAZE THE ROOFS Did one ambitious local housing initiative doom another?

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

10

As election day neared, one of the big questions in Santa Cruz County was how a slew of housing-related measures crowded onto local ballots might affect one other.

At the statewide level, there were three housing-related measures, with two more locally.

This past summer, tenant activists in Santa Cruz were moving forward with a local rent control measure when affordable housing advocates officially decided to proceed with a countywide housing bond measure. Former Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane and retired county Treasurer Fred Keeley had been working on the latter for the better part of two years.

Once the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to approve the bond measure, there was a concern that the various housing measures could confuse voters. Rent control, in particular, was expected to turn into a hard-fought, hotly contested campaign with negative mailers and big spending.

Housing bond supporters could have waited until 2020, but one problem with that, Keeley argued, was that a possible recession could doom the measure’s prospects at the polls.

After weighing their options, Keeley, Lane and dozens of other supporters made a bet on the Nov. 6 ballot. Many hoped that the confluence of housing measures would drive local voters of all stripes to the polls.

“We think this is the right ballot, because we think it’s the housing ballot,” Keeley said in July.

In hindsight, the “housing ballot” did not work out the way supporters had hoped.

With election day come and gone, both Measure H, the affordable housing bond, and Measure M, the rent control initiative, look poised to end up well short of passing.

While it’s too early for an autopsy report on either initiative, there is a sense that the two may have dragged one another down, with an ugly rent control fight taking some of the air out of the discussion over an otherwise popular housing bond.

Rent control supporters have not yet conceded defeat on the Measure M rent control initiative, but each measure is in a deep hole. Measure M has 33 >14

Watsonville’s new Rountree minimum-security jail adds classes to aid with re-entry into the workforce BY LAUREN HEPLER

O

n a stroll through a quiet, fenced yard in Watsonville with a basketball court and a garden, 54-year-old Scott Lane cranes his bald head to get a better look at a towering sunflower.

“This one’s mine,” Lane says, smiling and crossing his sun-beaten arms. “The biggest one, of course.”

At his feet, a leafy basil plant spills out from a neatly groomed raised bed. There’s another herb in there, too, but he can’t remember the name. “Epazote,” says Angel Valdez, a 44-year-old neighbor from Los Angeles. Lane shrugs. “I use them for my soups,” he says.

Lane and Valdez aren’t your average Central Coast gardeners.

They’re inmates at Santa Cruz County’s new Rountree Rehabilitation and Reentry Facility.

The 64-bed minimum-security jail, located on the same woodsy property near the coast as the county’s medium-security Rountree jail, accepted its first residents in July after two years of construction funded by $24 million from the state.

County inmates must apply to transfer to the new facility, and individuals incarcerated for most serious violent and sexual crimes are ineligible. As of October, 27 people had moved in and committed to 30

hours a week of classes in exchange for privileges like no-glass weekend visits with family. It’s a new variation in what county officials say are ongoing efforts to adapt to the social and economic challenges facing former inmates, especially with costs of living and competition for stable jobs increasing on the Central Coast.

“Usually when people are arrested, it’s out of sight, out of mind,” says Cynthia Chase, the inmate programs manager for the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office and an outgoing Santa Cruz city councilmember. “We need to do things like this.”

The Rountree expansion also reflects bigger debates >12

NEWS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE <10 about the future of criminal justice.

From coast to coast, prison reform activists have escalated calls in recent years for changes to longaccepted norms like cash bail and low-wage inmate labor. In California, reducing recidivism has become a bigger focus since the state’s 2011 “realignment” under AB 109 to ease prison overcrowding by shifting some inmates to local supervision.

From 2012-2016, around 775 inmates subject to AB 109 passed through Santa Cruz County facilities or oversight, prompting community groups and law enforcement to roll out new support services, according to a Santa Cruz County Probation Department report from last year.

“The old models simply do not work,” a Santa Cruz County Grand Jury report concluded in June of 2017, and also alluded to various complicating factors. “More and more, mental health and criminal behaviors have become intertwined.”

For inmates like Valdez, a father of three who has spent 30 years in and out of institutions after past ties to gangs, the question is whether this time around will be different.

“I lost everything coming in here,” he said. “I have to restart everything.”

STARTING OVER The new Rountree facility is full of examples—big and small—of things you wouldn’t see at your average jail. For starters, there are the hefty garden shovels, saws for construction class, thumbtacks for photos and locked bins under bunks that would usually count as contraband.

“Any other place, officers would be trippin’,” Valdez says. Here, inmates sign rules of conduct when they enter the facility and understand that there is “zero tolerance” for causing disturbances or skipping classes, he says.

Though Chase has seen contraband smuggled in diapers and other creative vessels at different facilities, she says there haven’t been any notable incidents at the new jail. She highlights research on drastically reduced government spending and declining recidivism linked to education to explain her lack of surprise.

“It’s not rocket science,” she says.

“When you give people a space and an opportunity to do well, they will.”

Classes are taught in both English and Spanish in rooms with freshly painted gray walls, big windows and posters of geometry formulas.

Core classes focus on the region’s biggest industries, like agriculture, construction and hospitality, but there are also electives on poetry, ethics and other topics taught by outside providers such as UCSC. The most popular? “The class that they request the most is parenting,” Chase says. “Always.”

The jail’s 64 bunks span two floors in a big, open room with linoleum floors and painted cinder block dividers that conjure a rec center locker room. Though keeping track of time is often something to be avoided at other jails, each bunk also has an alarm clock to help inmates get back on a daytime work or school schedule.

“We’re going from stagnant, doing nothing, to 30 hours of class a week,” says Valdez, who is wearing not a court-ordered jumpsuit, but a uniform of blue jeans and a gray, short-sleeve button-down shirt.

“That’s like a college student.” >15

NEWS BRIEFS CAMP OUST With less than three weeks until the planned closure of a city-sanctioned homeless camp and the ongoing closure of two city parks, a Nov. 15 protest will aim to highlight “the human right to sleep” with a group sleepout.

Though Santa Cruz officials have framed the park closures as routine maintenance, a flier posted on an orange traffic sign at San Lorenzo Park the week of Nov. 5 read “Park closed until further notice.” In addition to “focused maintenance,” the form attributed the closure to “public safety.”

“It seems obvious to me that they’re closing the parks to keep homeless people out,” says former Santa Cruz City Councilmember Micah Posner.

“I don’t think that’s what public safety is, but it’s what it means in the city government: Don’t let the homeless in there, because middle class people are afraid of them.”

An Oct. 22 City of Santa Cruz press release asserted that the shutdown will be timed to coincide with the scheduled opening of a seasonal indoor winter shelter at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) 7263 post in Live Oak. What the city didn’t

announce at the time was that it would also be closing two parks, San Lorenzo and Grant Street, where homeless people have in the past been known to bide time during the day or sleep at night.

City Manager Martín Bernal told the Sentinel after a contentious City Council meeting late last month that the timing with the park closure was coincidental and due to routine maintenance. “This is the kind of interim period that allows us to do the maintenance before the winter storms start,” Bernal said.

“That’s another rationale for the timing—it’s that window of opportunity that we have.”

For the Thursday protest, slated to start at 4 p.m. outside the Santa Cruz downtown post office, activist Keith McHenry has called for others to bring tents, blankets, sleeping bags and tarps to sleep out and help establish a new “safe camp” for those with nowhere to go.

“The city plans to close its only legal campground just before the winter,” wrote McHenry, a co-founder of Food Not Bombs.

“Concurrently, it has fenced off the nearest parks and bathrooms indefinitely.

People may die as a result.”

percent voter approval as of press time.

Measure H, the housing bond, is at 52 percent, but would need a two-thirds majority to pass.

Faz Fazilat, who campaigned in favor of Measure M, says tenant organizers are focused on preserving tenant protections in the event that rent control does officially fail. Many renters, he says, are terrified that they’ll see rent hikes or eviction notices the minute that the temporary rent freeze and just-cause eviction measure expire on Dec. 11, unless the City Council takes action.

During the campaign, some affordable housing supporters saw rent control as an ineffective—and yet also extreme—BandAid solution that would hurt many renters.

Supporters felt that they simply got drowned out by campaign contributions from Measure M’s opponents—who outspent supporters 10-1, with help from the California Apartment Association.

Robert Singleton managed the anti-

rent control campaign, and says that the housing bond “got caught in the crossfire” of the rent control controversy.

Singleton, who serves as executive director for the Santa Cruz County Business Council, says that he would have focused his energy on the housing bond if the rent control measure hadn’t been proposed. He acknowledges that the debate over Measure M hit many low points, including when anti-rent control landlord Darius Mohsenin started distributing alarming fliers that even his fellow opponents viewed as bigoted and racist.

“It’s really unfortunate. Measure H is what we all agreed upon,” Singleton says.

As it was being crafted and finalized, Measure H got a wide range of buy-in from institutions spanning the political spectrum—Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau, Santa Cruz for Bernie, and local labor groups, to name a few.

Three-quarters of the $140 million bond would have gone toward affordable housing construction. The rest would have gone toward assistance for first-time home

buyers and the construction of homeless facilities.

Entrepreneur Danny Keith, who voted against Measure H, viewed the initiative as deeply flawed. Keith, who serves on the county’s Human Services Committee, says that based on what he’s seen, no jurisdiction would want a homeless facility in the neighborhood—no matter how big the pot of money is. “We’re doing everything we can to help these people,” he says.

Keith says he does think about housing affordability a lot, and worries about his son getting priced out of the county someday.

But the only real answer, he feels, is for local planning departments to cut red tape, streamline their permitting processes and let developers build housing. He also suggests to me that it probably isn’t fair that renters like myself get to vote on measures that will show up on the property tax bills of local homeowners like him. Keith estimates the measure would have cost him about $55 a year.

Alina Harway, one of the Measure

H campaign’s more active volunteers, disagrees, saying that it’s a core tenant of modern democracy for all voters to be able to cast ballots on issues that affect everyone.

Harway, the spokesperson for NonProfit Housing Association of Northern California, notes that both of California’s statewide housing bonds passed, and she is optimistic about the future under Gov. Gavin Newsom, who casts himself as an ardent supporter of affordable housing.

Lane and Harway both say that one bright spot in the Measure H results is that the majority of voters did support it, although the results are well short of what was needed to accomplish anything concrete.

They are just beginning to muse about future solutions.

“I do think funding is one of the pieces of the puzzle,” Lane says. “We always said it was just one piece of the puzzle. Trying to figure out what those pieces might be is another approach. People do want solutions.

It’s just a question of the best way to get the community to move forward.”

Inmates also aren’t the only ones who must adapt on the fly to changing daily routines.

“This is a huge adjustment, not only for the inmates, but also the staff,” says Sergeant Karen Wells.

The county’s Department of Corrections is recruiting for about 20 open positions, she says, but hiring and training guards often poached by surrounding counties is already a challenge. In addition to Rountree, Santa Cruz County is home to the Water Street Maximum Security Jail (Main Jail), Felton’s Juvenile Hall Detention Center, and the Blaine Street Women’s Minimum Security Facility.

Officials have downplayed the added beds at Rountree, instead emphasizing on-site education and social services. Still, the entire system may benefit from increased capacity. County inspections from as recently as February state that the Main Jail was forced to put bunks in common rooms to meet demand.

For Chase, the work underway at Rountree is a logical next step for programs the county has developed over time. The Gemma Program, for example, offers rehabilitation-oriented classes while incarcerated, followed by transitional housing for women.

At Rountree, perhaps the most difficult dynamic to get right, Chase says, is timing. Since the facility offers several certificate or diploma programs, the idea is to focus on building positive momentum for inmates who are relatively close to release, but who still have enough time to complete programs that administrators hope will help secure jobs after the fact.

Both Lane and Valdez, though, are slated to serve additional time in prison after Rountree.

“We’re not just here because we want to get time off. We’re engaged,” says Lane, who is considering parlaying his newfound interest in garden-fresh ingredients into a career in hospitality.

For now, he’ll settle for the immediate perks.

“My son comes every week, and I get to hold him,” Lane says. “That’s the most important thing to me.”

ALL ABOUT THEATRE Organization Mission: All

About Theatre’s mission is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences in the Santa Cruz County area. We provide a healthy and wholesome ambassadorship for the arts and open the door to new life experiences. We are dedicated to providing financially accessible arts experiences to all communities, regardless of size or economic status. We strive to use participation

in the performing arts as a vehicle to develop life skills for all.

BIG IDEA Arts for All Community is at the core of what we do. We are blessed to serve more than 400 individuals per year in the county. This project is tailored to serve children and families in South County, to build a bridge to share the riches of our joint communities.

Arts for All has already begun, but

BALANCE4KIDS Organization Mission:

Balance4kids addresses the needs of children with disabilities by working together with private organizations, parents and public schools. We seek to increase student success by bringing alternative supplemental programs to public education and the home, and supporting the inadequate existing resources for children with disabilities.

BIG IDEA Teacher Grant Foundation Our Teacher Grant Foundation gives an average of $40,000 in supplies to local teachers every year. Local teachers, specialists and administrators are invited to appeal to us for classroom supplies that their school budget doesn’t cover.

With your support, we can give more desperately needed supplies, from tablets to therapeutic equipment, and go a long way in making our hardworking teachers’ jobs just a little easier.

In addition, we provide highly qualified, in-class, paraprofessional

support that saves the school districts we serve tens of thousands of dollars annually. We also provide children and young adults with and without disabilities a place to socialize through activities such as book clubs, cooking, gardening, theater, and field trips.

BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS Organization Mission: Our

goal is to provide children facing adversity with strong, enduring, professionally supported, one-toone relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. With the support of volunteer mentors, children are more likely to stay in school, stay out of the juvenile justice system, and make healthy choices that lead to productive lives.

We envision a community where all children achieve success in life.

BIG IDEA Big Brothers Big Sisters Transgender Youth Mentoring Mentoring relationships can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Through Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Make A Match program, volunteers are carefully paired with children who face serious challenges of poverty, single-parent homes, or are exposed to gangs, drug abuse and alcohol abuse.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County initiated a program of matching transgender youth with volunteer transgender adult mentors in 2015. We are requesting funding to help continue to serve these children and youth.

hen we started the Santa Cruz Gives holiday drive, we called it “a new way to give” and “the future of giving.” Well, with the campaign having raised almost half a million dollars for local nonprofits as we go into our fourth year, it’s safe to say that the future is now.

Santa Cruz Gives has been embraced by the community in a whole new way this year, with the venerable Community Foundation Santa Cruz County contributing $20,000 to help our participating nonprofits reach their goals. And in turn, Santa Cruz Gives has evolved into a sort of fundraising hub for many nonprofits, where they learn from the expertise of our partners at the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County—and from each other—some of the most cutting-edge ways to engage local donors on social media and in their day-to-day operations.

Those donors—and hopefully we’re talking about you here—are the reason for every great thing that nonprofits do here.

So take a look at the groups that were selected for this year’s Santa Cruz Gives, and everything that they hope to accomplish with your help this holiday season. Then go to santacruzgives. com and give to the one or two or 20 that inspire you. And besides Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County and Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, we’d also like to thank the business sponsors that inspire this program: Santa Cruz County Bank, Wynn Capital Management and Oswald.

with your support it could soar.

Theater enables us to make lifelong friendships with people we would never have otherwise met, and to learn about cultures other than our own. Families as well as kids continually inspire each other and foster a community spirit that keeps on growing. The professional-level skills we teach are also job skills in high demand in the flourishing entertainment industry.

Our professional training also covers tech, running equipment, stage management, hair and makeup design, and more.

SANTA CRUZ GIVES <17 begins in childhood, as transgender youth explore their gender identity, and these children are at high risk of harassment, physical and sexual violence, and suicide.

Numerous studies document the pervasive injustice and bias faced by transgender people in every aspect of life.

This program applies the proven Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring approach to reach this underserved population. We work in partnership with the Queer Youth Task Force of Santa Cruz, the Transfamily Support Group of Santa Cruz, and other organizations to implement the program, which serves as a national model. It is estimated that 120 to 400 county youth could be candidates for this program.

CASA Organization Mission: CASA

is a child’s voice in dependency court, providing advocacy, stability and hope to children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. This support has had a profound impact on the lives of hundreds of children and youth in foster care. They receive many health, emotional and educational resources they might not otherwise receive. “CASA children” have a higher rate of adoption than those without an advocate, are less likely to return to the system, and are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care. Eighty-three percent of our youth graduated from high school, compared to the state average of 45 percent.

BIG IDEA Advocate Training with Focus on Bilingual Volunteers CASA empowers volunteers to directly influence life-changing decisions affecting children in foster care. To accomplish this, CASA recruits, screens, trains, and supervises volunteer advocates who work one-on-one with youth in the dependency care system, advocating for their best interests in court, in school, and in the community.

This year, in addition to recruiting

and training all types of advocates, we will place emphasis on bilingual advocates; there are many children referred to our program from the foster care system who come from Spanish-speaking monolingual families.

CERT Organization Mission: We build cadres of volunteers and empower them with the skills, knowledge and confidence for safely serving as immediate responders in disasters affecting their communities in Santa Cruz County. We accomplish this by supporting the Santa Cruz Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Council and other disaster service organizations to develop and sustain the CERT program—with no paid staff and 1,150 volunteers.

BIG IDEA Expansion of CERT Basic & Advanced Training We aim to expand and adapt our CERT basic and advanced training to reflect the unique geographical areas in Santa Cruz County. We will develop a training branch that focuses on mountain communities’ needs and one that serves coastal communities. All basic CERT skills are taught by each training branch, but each branch can tailor training needs for their area’s disaster challenges.

We are requesting support to partially cover the cost of training equipment, specifically for a fullbody manikin and a chin lift, head tilt manikin for our light search and rescue, and disaster-medicine training units. The two manikins cost approximately $1,500.

COASTAL WATERSHED COUNCIL Organization Mission: People protect what they know and love. That’s why the Coastal Watershed Council (CWC) works to transform the lower San Lorenzo River into a beloved community destination by inspiring people

The Diversity Center

to explore, enhance and protect this critical natural resource. CWC fulfills its mission to preserve and protect coastal watersheds through community stewardship, education and monitoring through the revitalization of your beautiful waterway.

BIG IDEA San Lorenzo River Revitalization The San Lorenzo River and the park along its banks were once the celebrated heart of the city. The river is the main drinking water source for 100,000 people, and also provides habitat for endangered species, fish, birds and wildlife. The river is crucial to public health and could be a natural respite, popular greenway and gathering space amid Santa Cruz’s urban downtown—yet it feels more like a back alley than the city’s central park.

When Santa Cruzans avoid the river, we become disconnected from it, which keeps us from understanding the river’s benefits, how we rely on it, and how our daily actions impact local waterways.

In other communities, rivers are alternative transportation corridors,

drivers of economic activity, visitor destinations, and natural spaces where people feel proud and safe.

Rivers can transform our well-being.

By rebuilding personal connections to our river and the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, CWC is shifting the way we interact with this critical natural resource. The result is both a healthier watershed and a healthier, more vibrant community as we feel safe outdoors and enjoy a park—a space of connection—in the heart of Santa Cruz.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY Organization Mission: The

Conflict Resolution Center offers affordable, accessible mediation and mediator training to residents of Santa Cruz County. Our programs address conflict at all stages—from prevention to intervention—in our homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and courts. We provide effective alternatives to litigation, hostility and violence. Through respectful dialogue, participants create their own mutually beneficial solutions.

BIG IDEA Peaceful Engagement Starting the new 2019 year fresh, CRC will embark on a communitywide engagement campaign to promote the use of peaceful dialogue through facilitation, mediation and education. We will organize monthly community events to bring people together and have difficult conversations on topics that matter.

We hope you will join us!

In cases where parties might find themselves in court, we offer free or affordable mediation services that greatly reduce overall costs, hassle, and most importantly, unnecessary and prolonged animosity that can cause lasting, unpleasant community relations. From neighbor disputes over fences to divorce to landlord-tenant issues and parentteen challenges, CRC mediation can be the ideal choice because both sides will be facilitated into an agreement that is suitable for both, leaving hostile situations out of the picture.

DIENTES Organization Mission: To

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

create lasting oral health for the underserved children and adults of Santa Cruz County and neighboring communities.

BIG IDEA Give Kids a Smile Day Our 15th Annual Give Kids a Smile Day will provide free dental care and oral health education to 30-40 uninsured children of Santa Cruz County. Our goal is to make prevention more common than treatment, so that kids can focus on school instead of a toothache.

This day of free care serves kids who would otherwise fall through the cracks—families who don’t qualify for Medi-Cal and can’t afford even discounted dental care at local clinics.

Dientes aims to instill healthy habits and positive experiences with the dentist so that kids can continue good oral health throughout life.

DOWNTOWN STREETS TEAM Organization Mission:

Downtown Streets Team is ending homelessness by restoring dignity and rebuilding lives of men and women. Serving the community through work teams prepares members for permanent employment and housing.

BIG IDEA Santa Cruz Downtown Streets Team DST team members, all of whom are homeless or at risk of homelessness, volunteer 20 hours per week in Santa Cruz, cleaning and mitigating litter on streets, in parks, on the river and beaches from Main to North County. With support from Santa Cruz Gives, DST will be able to support team members with basic needs stipends—gift cards that ensure team members have the means to purchase food, medication, transportation passes and more.

DST provides wrap-around support services, from case management and employment readiness to interview clothes, training certifications and stipends. $3,000 would pay for 14 percent of our SC Team Members stipends for one year.

EVERY CHILD OUTDOORS Organization Mission: The

Every Child Outdoors Foundation is founded on the principle of equity that all students should have the opportunity to experience environmental and outdoor education, regardless of financial circumstances. We reduce financial barriers to outdoor education for students in Santa Cruz County.

BIG IDEA Every Child Outdoors Scholarship Program Santa Cruz County’s Outdoor Science School, affectionately known as

“science camp,” has been a rite of passage for elementary school students for more than 50 years.

However, the program is fee-based and many students lack the means to participate.

With your support, in 2019 the Every Child Outdoors Scholarship Program will provide financial assistance toward fees to approximately 1,000 local fifthgrade students. When students spend a week living and learning with classmates in the Santa Cruz Mountains, many report feeling more connected to nature and more comfortable in nature, more interested in science, and more likely to work to help the environment in their community.

FOOD, WHAT?!

Organization Mission:

FoodWhat’s energized name speaks to its mission as a youth empowerment and food justice organization. FoodWhat partners with low-income and struggling youth across Santa Cruz County to grow, cook, eat, and distribute healthy, sustainably raised food, and address local food justice issues.

FoodWhat creates a safe space where youth experience profound personal growth and transformation, radical diet change, critical job training, and step into relevant activism.

BIG IDEA Radical Diet Change Spring Internship Every year, hundreds of young people apply for 60 available spots in FoodWhat’s programming. In 2019, we will set out to increase the number of positions and offer more life-changing and communitybuilding opportunities to meet the expressed needs of young people, particularly those based in Watsonville.

We partner with struggling yet resilient youth who suffer disproportionately from problems associated with poverty: barriers to education, severely limited

employment options, community violence, and compromised health. Through FoodWhat, young participants begin their journey in radical diet change, job preparedness and personal growth through food, farming, activism and community events.

FRIENDS OF THE SANTA CRUZ PUBLIC LIBRARIES Organization Mission: Friends

of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries supports the Santa Cruz City-County library system through fundraising, volunteer services and advocacy.

Donations fund traditional items such as books and media, emergency needs such as replacing deteriorated furniture, new computer technology, and a wealth of cultural and educational programs for your favorite branch.

BIG IDEA 2018-19 STEAM Programs We have gone from STEM to STEAM. We are adding the Arts to promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (which are highly correlated with innovation) because we believe art and design will transform the economy in this century.

Most of the STEAM programs at SCPL have 100 percent enrollment with waiting lists. Your support will allow libraries to increase the number of students, many from low-income families, who gain experience in solving real world problems through identifying, framing and solving problems collaboratively.

Your support will fund supplies for programs for children of various ages that include designing, programming and building robots; Minecraft classes to teach coding; LEGO Simple and Not-So Simple Machines for a hands-on approach to engineering; and more.

GIRLS INC. Organization Mission: To

inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold, and to respect themselves

SANTA CRUZ GIVES and the world around them. We provide girls with tools and support, research-based programming, and trained professionals who mentor them in a safe environment of peers who share their aspirations. Girls learn to set and achieve goals, boldly confront challenges, resist peer pressure, see college as attainable, and explore nontraditional fields.

BIG IDEA Friendly PEERsuasion Program The Friendly PEERsuasion afterschool program teaches girls communication skills, stress management, awareness of tobacco, drugs and alcohol, and how to resist negative peer and media pressures, and bullying. Teen girls are positive influences to facilitate and model healthy behavior for younger girls.

Phase I (12 weeks): Train girls aged 11-14 to facilitate programs on decision-making, assertiveness, communication skills, and practice walking away from situations where they feel pressured to use alcohol or drugs.

Phase II (six weeks): The new “PEERsuaders” conduct substanceabuse prevention activities for children aged six-10.

GREY BEARS Organization Mission: Grey

BIG IDEA Moving Forward at Every Age Grey Bears is a nutritional lifeline for 3,800 low-income seniors. Our Healthy Food for Seniors program delivers brown bags of fresh produce and healthy staples to aging adults each week. Additional daily food distributions support thousands more. It adds up to the equivalent of

HOMELESS GARDEN PROJECT Organization Mission: The

Homeless Garden Project is an organic urban farm that provides job training, transitional employment and support services to people who are homeless. With an emphasis on creating a thriving and inclusive community, as well as growing the local food system, the project provides people with the tools to build a home in the world.

BIG IDEA Impact Fund for Trainee Wages Santa Cruz County has one of the largest homeless populations by county in the U.S. Our success rate of 92 percent for employment and housing achieved by recent graduates speaks to our 28 years of innovating for better and more sustainable services for this population and, ultimately, for improving the community.

In order to support our trainee graduates’ transition into jobs and housing, this program provides individuals experiencing homelessness with not just a paycheck, but also with a job that offers support, education and training—that is, a path to stability, independence and a home that lasts.

HOMELESS SERVICES CENTER Organization Mission:

Homeless Services Center partners with individuals and families

to create pathways out of their homelessness into permanent housing.

BIG IDEA Recuperative Care Center It is estimated that in Santa Cruz County each person living on the street costs our community $70,000$80,000 per year in emergency services. In contrast, it costs an estimated $17,000-$22,000 for supportive services to house that same person. One of the high costs is in repeat visits to the hospital for those who lack a home for recuperation.

The Recuperative Care Center is an innovative medical respite program for people experiencing homelessness who need safety and stability to recover from significant medical treatment. Homeless individuals discharged from inpatient stays at local hospitals may stay at the RCC and recover while receiving follow-up medical care and integrated social services including housing navigation, mental health care, benefits enrollment, and substance abuse treatment.

JACOB’S HEART CHILDREN CANCER SUPPORT SERVICES Organization Mission: Every

day, the team at Jacob’s Heart works tirelessly to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and support their families in the challenges they face with no-cost services funded entirely through community donations. Since 1998, we have been at the side of hundreds of local children with cancer and thousands of their family members as they navigated the journey from diagnosis through an uncertain future.

BIG IDEA Heart on Wheels Transportation Program When your child has cancer or another serious illness, traveling back and forth to treatment is emotionally

exhausting and expensive. The Hearton-Wheels program provides doorto-door rides for children undergoing intensive treatment in partnership with Central California Alliance for Health. Heart on Wheels also provides prepaid gas cards and bicultural transportation coordination.

Through Santa Cruz Gives, Jacob’s Heart seeks to rally support from the community to provide 100 additional families with gas cards, door-todoor rides and support.

FARM DISCOVERY AT LIVE EARTH Organization Mission: We

empower youth and families to sustain healthy food, farming, social and natural systems by teaching farming skills, transforming food habits, and developing environmental literacy and stewardship. The goal is for each individual to form a relationship with food that supports personal, community and environmental health.

BIG IDEA Summer Farm Camp Scholarships for Youth Farm Discovery will provide scholarships, leadership training and summer jobs for 50 local, lowincome youth from all parts of the county. We will collaborate with the Diabetes Health Center (DHC) of Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust. In the last two years, nearly 40 percent of patients served by DHC were under 20 years old, and 88 percent had a primary diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes or Obesity.

The summer camps take place on Live Earth Farm’s 150-acre working organic farm, riparian corridor, oak and redwood forest in the Pajaro Valley. The farm fields, animal pens and kitchen classroom provide a perfect setting for positively transforming young people’s relationship to food and the environment as they learn about the importance of caring for their bodies, the environment and their community.

Hundreds of mostly-senior volunteers enjoy all sorts of volunteer opportunities. Their service makes our programs possible while cultivating social support systems and health benefits for both volunteers and participants. Weekly classes include chair yoga, Spanish, cooking, tech help, fix-it clinics, and lunch events that keep seniors active and socially engaged, and help them age with joy, grace and dignity.

BIG IDEA Birthday Books From Coco

PAJARO VALLEY SHELTER SERVICES Organization Mission: Pajaro

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Live Like Coco Foundation helps local kids grow up healthy and with opportunities to pursue their dreams. Our foundation is named after and inspired by Coco Lazenby, a self-described “book lover, cat petter and environmentalist” who was killed in a car accident in August 2015 at age 12. To honor Coco’s bright spirit and big heart, our foundation works in four areas that made a difference in her life: literacy, nature, health and wellness, and funding for out-of-school activities (such as theater, horseback riding, art and computer programming).

22

Our unique Birthday Books From Coco program offers students at participating schools the opportunity to choose a new book on their own birthday. More than 72 percent of the elementary-school students we serve qualify for free or reduced lunch. For many of these children, it is the first book they have owned.

With your support, we hope to reach two more school sites with Birthday Books From Coco, delivering more than 1,000 additional books to kids in our public schools. We’d also like to continue building other local literacy programs, including purchasing picture books and Spanish books for a summer book giveaway at the Watsonville Farmers Market, and building Little Free Libraries.

PAJARO VALLEY ARTS Organization Mission: Pajaro

Valley Arts presents programming year-round at no cost to the public to fulfill its vision to bring the community together through the power of the arts. By presenting art exhibits and cultural events, PVA is the only arts organization in South County that offers the public a rich diversity of art and artists in a gallery setting.

We would like to register and motivate people to get out and vote! Our spring exhibition seeks to educate, inspire, and develop greater interest in the democratic process.

The exhibit will illustrate locals in historic and current voting rights struggles, and artists will interpret the question: “What does the right to vote mean to me, my community, and/or my country?”

We hope to address the meaning of the youth vote, issues we can influence through our vote, voter suppression, and more, as well as provide on-site voter registration during the exhibit.

Valley Shelter Services empowers single mothers, single fathers, and two-parent households with children to move out of homelessness and move into permanent housing and selfsufficiency. We provide temporary shelter, transitional housing and longterm affordable housing to achieve safety and stability.

BIG IDEA Tenant Education to End Family Homelessness Please partner with us to bridge the gap between homeless families and landlords.

With Tenant Education, PVSS builds a path to strong partnerships between tenants and landlords.

PVSS empowers families with children to be responsible, informed tenants. Client families are accountable to timely rent payments, conscientious communications, and maintaining their homes in good condition. They also gain knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords.

By addressing landlord concerns, landlords will want to rent to graduates from PVSS programs.

With 22 housing units, PVSS is a site of community empowerment,

Farm Discovery at Live Earth

serving more than 7,500 people in 35 years. About 75 to 85 percent of families who leave our programs find stable housing and become selfsufficient.

RESOURCE CENTER FOR NONVIOLENCE Organization Mission: The

Resource Center for Nonviolence promotes the practice of nonviolence as a means of effecting personal and social change and creating a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.

This commitment to nonviolence is rooted in reverence for life in all its forms, and the dignity of all persons.

BIG IDEA Project Regeneration: Nonviolence Training for Youth Project Regeneration is to teach Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s six steps of nonviolent action to students at a public high school. Students will choose a social change issue they’d like to work on, then learn and apply the Kingian process to identify, investigate, address, negotiate, take public action, and reconcile social justice issues that impact them at school or in their community.

In this way, Project Regeneration will develop the next generation of nonviolent leaders. RCNV also provides a facility and organizational support for community members to work for human rights, economic justice, racial justice, peace, refusing militarism, environmental sustainability, and more. In the past year, more than 100 local nonprofit organizations used our space for events, meetings and constructive work.

SAVE OUR SHORES Organization Mission: To

BIG IDEA Monthly Kayak Cleanups The sloughs, rivers, creeks and other waterways that flow into our Monterey Bay carry litter and debris. This pollution gets trapped on shores, coves and river bends until heavy rains flush it all out to sea.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER FOUNDATION Organization Mission: In

Santa Cruz County, the primary organization safeguarding the lives of domestic animals is the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. With an intake exceeding 5,000 animals per year, SCCAS has municipal funding only for core services such as animal control, licensing, rabies vaccinations, housing for strays and surrenders, and intervention in abuse cases.

BIG IDEA Prevention! Prevention!

According to the 2017-18 National Pet Owners Survey, 68 percent of county residents have at least one pet, adding up to more than 200,000 companion animals. The county’s mandatory spay/neuter law for dogs and cats has little effect without affordable services for families who cannot afford the cost.

SCCAS seeks to double its clinic space for low-cost spay/neuter services, as these services are one of the most effective ways to curtail the tragic flow of unwanted dogs and cats. The shelter population has dropped each year, but limited space leaves SCCAS with long waiting lists that have the effect of turning folks away. Please join us in expanding the number of animals that can be treated.

SENDEROS Organization Mission:

Senderos is an all-volunteer organization that forges pathways to success for Latino youth through free music and dance programs, and fosters educational opportunities that would not otherwise be available. Senderos has established cultural pride in in the face of racism and gang involvement, with 80 youth currently performing at more than 30 events each year.

BIG IDEA Crossing Borders: Cultural Arts for Youth Senderos’ 2019 project is to meet the greater demand for its free after-school Mexican folkloric dance and traditional music instruction.

The 30-plus community and school performances are now seen by more than 25,000 annually.

There is a need for traditional dance outfits, as well as instruments to expand the instrument-lending library for young musicians to practice and perform. Senderos’ very popular public performances help our youth and their families feel “seen” and appreciated in the public arena, and open up avenues for greater tolerance, positive collaboration and community well-being.

In today’s political climate it is more important than ever to support Latino youth and their families.

Gracias!

THE DIVERSITY CENTER Organization Mission: Our goal

is to build an equitable community where LGBTQ+ people thrive. We envision a healthy, vibrant, diverse LGBTQ+ community, free from fear, hatred and prejudice.

BIG IDEA LGBTQ+ Seniors Building Community Most LGBTQ+ older adults have experienced a lifetime of discrimination. They are often

Yoga For All estranged from family members who rejected them, and are more likely to be single, live alone, and less likely to have children.

To cut through this isolation, The Diversity Center is offering outdoor get-togethers, recreational activities and shared community meals. We are also offering workshops about how to improve physical and mental health.

Our seniors have made magnificent contributions to the LGBTQ+ movement for equality, and we honor their efforts. The Diversity Center also provides a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth through support groups and community events.

We benefit the entire county by hosting educational workshops about gender and sexuality for health care providers, county agencies, schools, and nonprofit organizations.

skills and good manners, helping to place the dogs into adoptive homes. The youth develop values of patience, respect and responsibility for themselves and others through trust and relationship-building with their dogs. Working with dogs who share similar experiences of neglect, abandonment, and abuse enables youth to experience compassion and respect for others, while building confidence and self-worth. As the dogs succeed, youth thrive knowing they have helped find a home for a dog who loves and accepts them unconditionally.

In 2019, UnChained will expand services to youth and dogs, and with seven years of graduates, UnChained wants to reinvest in its youth by offering vocational training and community service opportunities, as well as add college scholarships for its youth graduates.

BIG IDEA Vision for Our Youth Tomorrow Students who are blind or visually impaired face many educational challenges that put them at greater risk for school failure than their sighted peers. Most youth with vision impairments in our community don’t have access to technology outside of school, nor the training they need, and lack a connection with mentors.

New adaptive technology evens the playing field, opening doors that would otherwise remain closed, and allowing effectiveness not only at school, but in work and social interactions.

Vista Center’s training program, Vision for Our Youth Tomorrow, provides middle and high school students with visual impairments with adaptive technology, training, mentoring and support to prepare them for higher education and a career. Learning to use an iPad as a mini computer, students with vision impairments can accomplish word processing, email, web research and most importantly, read books easily.

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

WARMING CENTER PROGRAM Organization Mission:

26

Warming Center Program develops and operates programs that address the gaps in meeting basic needs that result from homelessness that are not provided by other funding sources (government and other organizations). Programs include our Warming Center, a coldest and wettest nights shelter to eliminate the occurrence of hypothermia and death; and the Day & Night Storage Program to reduce the items people who sleep outside must carry at all times.

BIG IDEA Day & Night Storage for Homeless Persons The problem: Homeless people carry bedding, clothing and other items 24/7, limiting their ability to move freely without a visual

identifier of homelessness. This can trap individuals into a mindset difficult to emerge from. They are unable to carry the number of items they need, especially in winter, and possessions are usually the only value they hold. Belongings left unattended can be stolen or confiscated by city workers. They also create visual blight and can be an environmental hazard.

Our solution: A safe, organized, cost-efficient program to reduce the belongings people who sleep outside must carry.

Our new program provides 20-60 gallons of space in a managed, locked facility near a nexus of homeless foot traffic. People will sign a Client Agreement that states there are no perishables; no wet or damp items; no illegal items; items must belong to the client, etc.

WATSONVILLE WETLANDS WATCH Organization Mission: We

are dedicated to the protection, restoration and appreciation of the wetlands of the Pajaro Valley, and to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. The wetlands sustain more than 250 species of birds and 23 species of native plants and animals that are threatened or endangered.

BIG IDEA Wetland Wonders Fifth Grade Program A new model for science learning and hands-on, outdoor learning for students are hallmarks of our new wetland exploration program.

It’s designed to support the “5 E’s” learning cycle of Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate, and Next Generation Science Standards.

The program supports Pajaro Valley Unified School District in taking the lead on the new learning model, where teachers and environmental educators work together to increase environmental literacy with full integration into classroom curriculum.

WINGS HOMELESS ADVOCACY Organization Mission: Wings

Homeless Advocacy is committed to living our values of compassion, dignity and respect for all people by uniting our community to be volunteer advocates for those moving out of homelessness onto a path of healing, and working together to end chronic homelessness in Santa Cruz County.

BIG IDEA Beds and Baskets Wings’ 47 volunteers (and one parttime paid staff person) would like to expand the capacity for our partner agencies to help those experiencing homelessness complete tasks and obtain resources needed to become housed and self-sufficient.

In addition to providing rides to medical and court appointments, we will help more people move into housing, and donate new refurbished beds ($100 value) and Welcome Home baskets ($50 value) full of personal care and household essentials, and a needed gift of hope.

YOGA FOR ALL MOVEMENT Organization Mission: Yoga

For All Movement is on a mission to make yoga accessible to all in Santa Cruz County. We define accessible as equity. To us, equitable yoga is physically safe, trauma-informed, culturally competent and affordable, as well as available for all regardless of race, socioeconomic status, age, gender, size or legal status.

We are teaching yoga to individuals in incarceration, youth in alternative education school settings, survivors of domestic violence, and adults experiencing homelessness, to name a few.

BIG IDEA Mindfulness Initiative in Alternative Education We are a volunteer yoga collective that teaches yoga countywide, and is

collaborating with the County Office of Education to create a mindfulness initiative that will include at least five alternative education schools to receive the gift of yoga and mindfulness classes for students.

After strong results with Sequoia School this past year, we want to expand services to include more youth in alternative education as a means for increasing emotional regulation, empowerment and self reliance, and to give tools to youth to increase coping skills when so much else feels beyond their control.

YOUTH N.O.W. Organization Mission: Youth

N.O.W. is committed to engaging youth in a nurturing community where youth grow personally and academically through individualized programs that cultivate success.

Youth N.O.W.’s after-school student centers (separate sites for middle and high schoolers) provide a safe place with caring adult mentors, and social and emotional support throughout the school year and summer.

BIG IDEA Middle School Summer Program Enrollment for Youth N.O.W.’s allday, five-week summer program for middle school youth in the Watsonville area has increased tremendously and is our most successful yet—51 percent growth for summer of 2018.

We focus on serving youth who would otherwise be unable to afford summer activities. Our low-cost program ran just $30 per week last summer. We ask your support to offer full and partial scholarships for children whose families cannot afford the low-cost program. Our programs help to even the playing field for disadvantaged youth, and improve their future outcomes.

Funds are also needed for anticipated increases in costs for field trips and transportation for summer, 2019.

The DJ spins the latest Cardi B jam, and a flurry of sparkles, big hair and outlandish outfits whirl around the room.

shines down upon a fabulously dressed drag queen. She vogues down the sea of people, as claps and shouts rise up from the audience. With a snap of her wrist, the party music flips back on and feet are electrified once more.

No, this isn’t San Francisco.

This is the newly established drag extravaganza Majesty, right here in Santa Cruz.

Held at the Motion Pacific dance studio, this LGBTQ+ event is a bi-monthly party that’s half dance club, half drag show—and 100 percent over-the-top extraordinary.

The founders of Majesty want to be clear that it isn’t performance art or burlesque or any of the genres that are more typically seen in Santa Cruz.

“It’s a drag show!” exclaims Motion Pacific teacher and one of Majesty’s organizers, Micha Hogan.

“I love bringing in other elements,

at the Poet and Patriot—and even oneoff queer dance nights at places like the Blue Lagoon, he hopes Majesty can become something more.

“Queer people can go to any club in town and feel accepted,” he explains. “But there’s no night just for us. No place that is ours. That was the original intent: to get everyone together in one place.”

After the idea was brought to Allan, she made sure Hogan and Wiley took the reigns in shaping how the night would look and feel. “First, they are both incredible artists and people,” she says. “Second, they are both queer-identifying which, I feel, is very important for the people active in creating a vision and bringing this event to the community.”

While Midsummer Queer’s Dream was themed, organizers decided to ditch the themes and rename the event Majesty. Hogan says it was chosen for the power it holds, a power that everyone performing—and attending—should embrace.

“We decided themes would limit what people thought they could do,” he admits. “We want people to be their authentic selves and explore that.”

This month, attendees will have the privilege and pleasure to be slayed by Katalina Zambrano and Gigi Banks, as well as by Majesty’s first two drag kings, Richard Dick Moneybags and Tyson Check-In. As with the previous two events, Hogan, who performs under the name Micha and teaches weekly hip-hop and heel work classes at Motion Pacific, will be “werking” it on floor as well.

Majesty is proudly open to anyone 18 or older, they will have some adult beverages for anyone of legal drinking age, with valid identification. Allan tells GT there will be a $10 to $30 sliding scale donation and donations support the Santa Cruz Diversity Center Youth Program. Allen says that nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.

“We want this space to be available to everyone who wants to be there,” she writes.

Majesty—A Queer Dance Party and Drag Show is Saturday, Nov. 17. 7:30-10:30 p.m.

like [in September] we had a seasoned burlesque performer do a risque, witchy number. However, it was still in the realm of drag because everything from the clothes to the make-up was hyper-feminine.” He takes a sip of coffee, his perfectly manicured and painted nails shining prominently, before adding “Campy is the word.”

Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race, John Waters films, Andy Warhol, and everything between will tell you the best thing about camp art is how deliciously over-the-top it can be. Sometimes gaudy, often tacky, but always amazing, camp is outrageously larger-than-life.

It’s too extravagant to be born into the world; instead, the human imagination unabashadley wills it into an outlandish existence.

Majesty originally started as a onetime event to “see what it could be,” says Hogan. Their first installment in July, called Midsummer Queer’s Dream, blew away everyone’s expectations. Actually, they didn’t know what to expect, but definitely didn’t expect seeing the entire bottom floor dance studio packed to the rim.

“It was insane!” Hogan says with disbelief. “We just had this idea for it and it was met so well by the community that it blew up.”

“It truly surprised me,” Motion Pacific owner and Director Abra Allan tells GT. “Not only the level of talent brought by the performers, but the immediate camaraderie and overwhelming gratitude present for having a fun and safe space. You can expect to dance your ass off and be endlessly entertained.”

Hogan thinks one of the reasons for the popularity is the lack of space for the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Cruz. Of course, Santa Cruz takes pride in being a progressive and safe city for everyone. However, spaces for historically marginalized cultures like the LGBTQ+ community are sometimes lost in the inclusiveness.

Spaces like Majesty are important for the community’s cultural growth and evolution.

When Club Dakota closed its doors in 2008, Santa Cruz lost its last identifiably gay club. While Hogan recognizes there are monthly queer events around town—like Queer Bingo

New Traditions

30

Ashwin Batish brings his unique blend of Eastern music and Western panache to UCSC students BY WALLACE BAINE

A

t first, it sounds like one of those weirdly random food combinations that preteens without adult supervision experiment with at home (bananas and taco sauce?). Last summer, 1980s hitmakers Violent Femmes (“Blister in the Sun”) shared a stage with Indian-American sitar master Ashwin Batish.

Turns out, this pairing was anything but random. The punkpop trio from Wisconsin and the sitarist from Santa Cruz have been occasionally performing together for decades. The unlikely collaboration is a vestige of one of those largely forgotten and bizarrely inspired

impromptu jams that pop up throughout modern music history.

In 1991, at the New Jazz Festival in Moers, Germany, madly adventurous avant-garde guitarist Eugene Chadbourne convened a supergroup featuring jazz banjo giant Tony Trischka and Jimmy Carl Black, famed drummer for Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention. Among the many others recruited for the band to be known as “The Daffy Duck Dozen” was Violent Femmes bass player Brian Ritchie and sitarist Batish. The two men enjoyed improvising together on stage and struck up a friendship.

Jamming with the Violent Femmes

whenever the band comes to the Bay Area isn’t merely incidental for the 67-year-old Batish. It is at the core of the man’s nearly five-decade career bridging East and West with a specific mission to push Indian classical music further down to the path to evolution.

Few musicians are more comfortable straddling cultural traditions than Batish, who is both a lifelong student of the complexities of the Indian raga system of music, and a free-wheeling maverick merrily looking for collaboration and influence in Western styles wherever he can find them.

Last January, Batish was given an opportunity to complete a circle

when he was invited to teach at UCSC, which was what brought his family to the U.S. to begin with almost 50 years ago. He has been teaching a course in Indian percussion in classes that contain up to 50 general-ed students. The tabla is a big focus, but the class features several other Indian percussive instruments, including the dholak, the mridagam and manjeera. “I tell my students ‘select the thing that you like, and next week, we’re going to switch.’”

On Nov. 19, many of Batish’s UCSC students will come together for a free concert at UCSC’s Music Recital Hall. And in March 2019, at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Batish himself and his band—which often includes several family members— will again showcase his adventurous musical style that has led him to be comfortably both a traditionalist and a maverick—in his case, a contradiction contained in the label “Indian-American.”

Batish’s son Keshav Batish is also now a UCSC student and an accomplished drummer in his own right. He has been working as his father’s teaching assistant (“Keshav has been taking my class since he was born,” Ashwin joked). His daughter Mohini, who is also a musician, has just graduated high school and is on her way to UCSC as well.

Batish likes to joke that he was born in Santa Cruz; and he’s not lying—the punch line is that he’s referring to a district, often spelled “Santacruz,” in Mumbai (now the official name of the city called Bombay when Batish was born).

When S.D. Batish arrived in Santa Cruz, no one expected him to stay there for decades, least of all his son.

“Once you’re here, there’s just some kind of vibe that you really don’t want to move from here. The thing about this place. I can be myself over here,” he says. “I can do whatever I want.

That’s a very important thing.”

The Eurasian Ensemble, the Mariachi Ensemble and the Indian Music & Percussion Ensemble will perform Monday, Nov. 19, at the Music Recital Hall at UC Santa Cruz beginning at 7:30 p.m. Free. More information at facebook.com/sitarpower.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

SWIRLY GIRLS Cousins Sheila Cliff and Pam Nectar always liked swirls. It’s a cool symbol, and seemed like an obvious choice for a band name when they started playing music together four years ago in what was a very impromptu decision.

DEAFHEAVEN

“We were dancing around, listening to music and decided it would be fun,” says Cliff.

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

They only lasted a very short while as a two-piece, with Nectar on guitar and Cliff on ukulele and washboard (and both on vocals). They knew that they needed a bass player. That’s when they tapped Gary “SweetPea” Cunningham to join the group—who may be swirly, but is definitely not a girl.

42

“They offered to change the name for me because I’m a guy, but I think I like Swirly Girls,” Cunningham says.

The trio has never settled on a genre, though everything is acoustic, with plenty of group harmony.

“It’s like Stevie Wonder to old ’20s swing music and a little Django Reinhardt. Neil Young is in there too,” Cunningham says.

“The music that we like is really diverse.

I feel like the songs that we choose, they’re not so specific to one genre. We try to mix it up and offer more than one genre, because that’s what we listen to,” Nectar says. “I think the way we make everything our own, we kind of put our own swirl on whatever we’re doing.”

AARON CARNES

7:30 p.m., Wednesday Nov. 21, Michael’s on Main, 2591 South Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

WEDNESDAY 11/14 COUNTRY

TISH HINOJOSA Country singer Tish Hinojosa sings about healing. At least that’s the case for her gentle new album West, her first record in five years. The 62-year-old singer has been releasing country and Americana albums since the ’80s, with songs in English and Spanish. Leading up to this album, she returned to her home in Austin, Texas after a decade in Germany. She’s been recovering from a failed marriage and a couple of surgeries. She pours this spirit of mending and rebirth into West, which is at once rich with sadness and incredibly hopeful for the future. AC 7:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.

PSYCHEDELIC

SUGAR CANDY MOUNTAIN Sugar Candy Mountain offers some seriously classic psychedelic vibes, slowed down and awash in lulling vocals and meandering guitar riffs. Archetypal synths team up with warm vintage drums

to create a what-decade-is-it time loop effect; it would be easy to put Sugar Candy Mountain on repeat and drive off into the unknown for an indeterminable amount of time.

Maybe you’ll end up in the future.

Or maybe the past. Either way, it will be in amazing technicolor, and you will leave Sugar Candy Mountain feeling fabulous and wonderfully worry-free. AMY BEE 9 p.m., Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 11/15 AMERICANA

TAYLOR RAE Santa Cruz has a small town vibe, but tucked away are some of Northern California’s finest talents.

Moe’s Alley highlights these local treasures with a Songwriters Showcase that features the soulful Taylor Rae, Moshe Vilozny, and David Jeremy. Last year, Rae won the Santa Cruz NEXTies “Musician of the Year” award, a glowing acknowledgment of her “Soul and Roll” sound (part R&B, part jazz, part Americana). Rae is still an up-and-coming voice in the Santa

Cruz scene, but she’s already shown herself to be adept at captivating audiences. MIKE HUGUENOR 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Drive, Santa Cruz. $10. 479-1854.

THURSDAY 11/15 GYPSY-JAZZ

BARRIO MANOUCHE Considering that the Bay Area has nurtured and supported thriving flamenco and Gypsy jazz scenes for decades, it’s not surprising that Barrio Manouche took root here. Launched about five years ago by Madridborn composer and master guitarist Javier Jiménez, the band has honed a virtuosic, emotionally charged sound that draws on two distinct but kindred Roma musical traditions, leavened by a love of jazz improvisation and AfroBrazilian rhythms. A joyous collusion between the Old and New Worlds, Barrio Manouche reveals hidden currents flowing between familiar sounds. ANDREW GILBERT 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $21/adv, $26.25/door. 427-2227.

SATURDAY 11/17 BLACK METAL

DEAFHEAVEN It’s not often that one record spawns an entire subgenre of music, but that’s exactly what Deafheaven’s 2013 album Sunbather did. It fused the punishing brutality of black metal with the dreamy atmospherics of shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins. Since then, Deafheaven has never settled, pushing themselves on each release to bring metal to new sonic locales.

8 p.m. The Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25. 429-4135.

SUNDAY 11/18 FOLK On his latest album, Folksinger Vol. 2, Willie Watson pays tribute to the deep Americana roots in folk music by sharing his musical interpretations of traditional folk canon tunes. From railroad songs to Appalachian music, Watson adds his gravelly voice to the legions of storytellers that have gone before him, paying homage without claiming ownership. Staying true to the essence of the tunes rather than seeking self-aggrandizement, Watson seeks out and then simply dwells in the joy of roots music, keeping the old stories alive for the folks who will come after. AB 8 p.m., Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 423-1338.

Ricky Montijo is a multiinstrumentalist and a multi-genre tinkerer. He can, and does, play the guitar, percussion and keys.

As far as genre, there are elements of Latin, pop, R&B, reggae, funk and blues, but it all boils down to an infectious, sassy dance-pop.

Montijo is comfortable going full on with whatever genre he’s performing at the moment, whether it’s dirty, funky grooves, or a bit of ’90s electro-R&B. The California native has been dazzling the West Coast dance floors with his tunes and is currently pushing single “Toxic Tongue,” a rare example of a song that seems like it could be spun by a DJ. AC

meticulously constructed, with blast beats, fast time-changes and brutal vocals. They are currently finishing the second half of their first U.S. tour, on the heels of their third LP release Loncati Pagar Berduri (Jump the Barbed Wire), and the Blue Lagoon is lucky enough to host the headbangers. They will be joined by Oakland grinders Violent Opposition, and local heshers Zombie Ritual for an evening of hellraising fun. MAT WEIR

When alternative rock started to dominate radio in the ’90s, people thought that heavy metal was dead as the dodo. But, no, a new wave of metal bands was percolating underneath the surface, and adding elements like hip-hop, industrial, and prog-rock, re-invigorating aggressive music. Oakland’s Machine Head were at the forefront of this wave, playing particularly brutal music that incorporated a groove-based sound that made you want to headbang with a little bit of swagger. The band just released it ninth album, Catharsis. They come to the Catalyst with no opener and two-and-a-half hours of raw metal.

FILM

HE WILL, HE WILL ROCK YOU Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’

Killer Queen NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Great songs, star ignite ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ BY LISA JENSEN

48

M

ovie biographies are tricky. How do you restructure messy life into a coherent narrative?

Which incidents should be left in, discarded, or completely reimagined for the sake of story? But when the subject is the innovative rock group Queen, there’s one thing we expect absolutely—the soundtrack is going to be killer.

Fortunately, for the surviving members of Queen, the legacy of the legendary Freddie Mercury, and especially the audience, the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody is more than just great music. From the opening 20th Century Fox fanfare scorched out of an electric guitar to the ecstatic grand finale of “We Are The Champions” live onstage, this is

a joyride for Queen fans.

Directed by Bryan Singer (he was replaced by Dexter Fletcher toward the end of production, but retains the credit), the movie falls into some of the pitfalls of telescoping events to fit the format. But it heroically depicts the Queen era (late ’70s-early ’80s), and the band’s phenomenal creative energy and output.

Central is the dynamic performance of Rami Malek (TV’s Mr. Robot) as Freddie Mercury. Speculation on who would play Freddie haunted this project for years, but in Malek, the filmmakers found an actor unorthodox enough to embody the singer’s outsider persona, yet soulful enough to engage us in Freddie’s lifelong quest to become himself. Did I mention he does his own singing?

Malek also wears prosthetic teeth to replicate Mercury’s famous overbite. It’s a little awkward to watch at first, as the actor keeps pursing his lips over them, as if he’s trying too hard to mimic his subject. But Malek incorporates this trademark tic of Mercury’s into the truth of his performance.

The movie begins and ends with the Live Aid charity concert of 1985, where Queen faced a jam-packed Wembley Stadium in London and a live global audience to deliver a 20-minute set that literally rocked the world.

In between, the story sticks to the chronology of Mercury’s life—born Farouk Bulsara in Zanzibar, and raised in London by proper Zoroastrian immigrant parents.

He’s hauling baggage at Heathrow

Airport when he talks his way into a neighborhood bar band whose lead singer has just quit. Guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) give him a shot, and with the addition of bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello), Queen is born. The actors’ resemblances to the people they play are uncanny; vintage footage of the real-life Queen at the end looks like outtakes from the film.

The best scenes capture the band inventing itself from May’s solid musical grounding and Mercury’s desire to do “grand” things, and never repeat himself. The song “Bohemian Rhapsody” makes no sense as narrative. Nobody has a clue what it’s about. Nobody cares. The operatic, six-minute, style-shifting epic is something we get, intuitively, on a visceral level. Which is how it was conceived, according to this move’s delicious montage of the band crafting together the song’s diverse bits—on Mercury’s instinct alone. Their EMI producer hates it (that’s Mike Myers behind the shaggy wig, glasses, and Scottish burr). The critics are lukewarm. The fans adore it.

Revered now as an early LGBTQ champion, Mercury’s relationship with Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton), his onetime live-in fiancée and lifelong friend, is central to the movie. (He wrote “Love of my Life” for her.) When he moves into his own mansion, he buys one for her nearby. They remain close for the rest of his life, despite interference from Freddie’s parasitic lover, Paul Prenter (Allen Leech).

Mercury’s own bisexual experiments, shyly curious at first, blossom into gleeful self-discovery to match his flamboyant stage persona and outrageous costumes.

The movie celebrates the appeal of Queen not to gay, straight, or neutral audiences, nor fans of any particular genre, but as “misfits playing to other misfits.” How inclusive can you get?

“We Are the Champions” is an equalopportunity anthem. No wonder this movie zoomed to the top of the box office its first weekend!

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ***1/2 (out of four) With Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee and Ben Hardy. Written by Anthony McCarten. Directed by Bryan Singer. A 20th Century Fox release. Rated PG-13. 134 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES BOY ERASED Joel Edgerton is best known as one of those character actors where you go “Ohhhhhh right, that guy” when you see him pop up in a movie, but he continues to surprise as a writer and director. This is the first movie in which he’s doing both since 2015’s fantastic thriller The Gift. And the material is even more challenging this time around, as he adapts Garrad Conley’s 2016 memoir about his experience growing up with Baptist parents who subjected him to “gay conversion therapy.” Starring Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. (R) 114 minutes. (SP) FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD J.K. Rowling used to let others adapt her Harry Potter stories, but for this spinoff series of Fantastic Beasts films, she’s writing the screenplays herself. I think it’s fair to say the results have been mixed, but if you liked Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which moved all the wizarding action to 1920s New York, you’ll probably like this sequel which picks up a few months later, focuses more on Johnny Depp’s character from the previous film, and brings back Dumbledore. Directed

by David Yates. Co-starring Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law and Katherine Waterston. (PG-13) 134 minutes. (SP)

WIDOWS This all-star crime thriller brings a dose of class to the heist-film

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 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 Reviewed this issue. 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. Directed by Wash Westmoreland. Starring Keira Knightley, Dominic West and Denise Gough. (R) 111 minutes. (LJ) 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) 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) FREE SOLO A documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold, it follows his attempt to “free solo” El Capitan.

That means doing the climb without ropes, harnesses or, um, anything that would keep you from falling to your death with one wrong move. As discussed in the film, the mortality rate of free solo climbers is somewhere around 100 percent.

Forget about horror movies, this is the most harrowing film you’ll see this year. Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. (PG-13) 100 minutes. (SP) 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) 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) SUSPIRIA Dario Argento’s 1977 masterpiece Suspiria was a horror film that transcended into art. This remake from director Luca Guadagnino is an art film that occasionally descends into gory horror. It’s also way too long, and not at all scary, though Guadagnino’s artistic choices do at least make it a wholly different film from the original in tone and thematic concerns (though the basic plot about a dance academy run by a secret coven of witches remains the same). This 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, there’s nothing here to make it feel like anything beyond a failed experiment. Starring Dakota Johnson, Swinton and Mia Goth. (R) 152 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)

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018

INSTANT FAMILY I watched a trailer for this Mark Wahlberg comedy, and I’m almost 100 percent certain it’s actually just a trailer parodying terrible Mark Wahlberg comedies, and not actually a real movie. I mean, it has kids getting hit in the face with basketballs! My guess is that if you go down to the movie theater and ask for a ticket to this movie—which is allegedly about a couple that adopts a bunch of foster children—Mark Wahlberg will jump out from around the corner and say,“Hey fool! You’re a fool! This movie doesn’t even exist, fool! Say hi to your mother for me!”

And then hit you in the face with a basketball. Directed by Sean Anders.

Co-starring Rose Byrne, Isabela Moner and Tig Notaro. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (SP)

genre, starting with writer-director Steve McQueen of 12 Years a Slave fame, through co-writer Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl and Sharp Objects) to a cast that includes Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall and Liam Neeson. Plus it’s based on an award-winning British TV series. Elegant! The plot has a group of women whose husbands were killed in a heist attempt trying to finish off the job in order to pay back a crime boss. (R) 129 minutes. (SP)

Soif releases Thanksgiving six-pack of wine curated to pair with aps through dessert BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

lmost as good as having your own private wine expert is this very timely curation of wines from the oenologists at Soif. Just in time to pair with your Thanksgiving meal is a specially-selected six-pack of wines for your holiday table. And it’s available right this very minute through Nov. 21 (better known as the day before Thanksgiving).

Soif Wine Curator Jon Bates and Retail Shop Manager Alexis Carr both had a hand in this rather exciting suite of wines from French and Italian producers. Reds, whites, plus a special sparkling red wine. The six-pack has been priced at $100,

20 percent off the individual retail prices. Sweet. “We thought about every part of the meal when putting this six-pack together,” says Bates, who believes that Thanksgiving celebration actually starts with the appetizers. “We have chosen wines to pair all the way through dessert, but also made sure we included something for everyone to enjoy.”

So here’s the menu of special Soif wines: To start: 2015 JeanFrançois Mérieau Fleuve Blanc Chenin Blanc—Loire Valley; 2017 Château Graville-Lacoste Graves Blanc Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle—Bordeaux; and NV Barbolini Lambrusco di

For $5.99 you can stuff a mattress or create your own bullet-proof vest simply by using the contents of one package of Food for Life Gluten-Free Multi-Seed English Muffins.

The word “inedible” doesn’t do justice to the shocking toughness and blandness of these $1-a-piece miscreants. Incapable of being toasted—after three passes through my toaster the product remained both tough and untoasted—these muffins defy logic as well as good taste. These things will take out an entire row of teeth if you’re not careful. The only reason I purchased this over-priced package of oral outrageousness was because two of my favorite stores were out of the superior and delicious Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Multi-grain English Muffins. So I thought, hey, how much different could these Food for Life muffins be? Night and day, that’s how different. Caveat emptor!

Sorbara Lambrusco—EmiliaRomagna, Italy.

Then for the turkey and sides: 2015 Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and a 2015 Domaine du Penlois ”Sous l’aile du Moulin” Moulin-à-Vent Gamay, Beaujolais.

To join dessert: the Soif team suggests a 2016 Domaine de la Pigeade Muscat de Beaumes de Venise Musca from France’s Rhone Valley. The Thanksgiving six-packs are available for purchase at Soif (105 Walnut Ave.) in downtown Santa Cruz. The shop is open Monday from 5-8 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday from noon-8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday

From Kelly’s Bakery comes this allstar slice of pumpkin pie ($5 with a generous top-knot of real whipped cream). If this pie were an NBA player it would be the lovechild of Steph Curry and LeBron James.

Firm filling with terrific spice balance, extra generosity in spicing spices—cinnamon, allspice, cloves— so that you know you’re having a three-dimensional pumpkin pie experience. The crust is both delicious and tender. I would have been smug and happy to have baked this pie. Just a few more to go!

AVANTI SOLD!

Paul Geise confirmed the rumor that Westside landmark Ristorante Avanti has indeed been sold. Paul and Cindy Geise plan to stay onsite until the end of the year while liquor license and escrow details are fine-tuned.

“Thirty-one years with this restaurant.

It’s bittersweet,” admits the longtime restaurateur, who says Avanti will soon have new local owners.

NUMBER CRUNCHER Olipop cofounder Ben Goodwin says many Americans

en Goodwin has 14 years of experience brewing local fermented drinks.

His latest is Olipop, a fizzy drink high in prebiotics, aimed at revitalizing gut health, supporting the microbiome and aiding in digestive health.

Goodwin, who sports a white T-shirt that reads “urban hunter gatherer,” says Olipop can’t simply solve any digestive problem with the snap of a finger, but that the drink can provide some help.

Goodwin, who recently spoke at the Microbiome Movement Human Nutrition Conference in Boston, believes many Americans should be getting 10 times more fiber than they currently do.

BEN GOODWIN: Most simply, the microbiome is all of the microorganisms in and on your body—technically even around, the space around you. That’s a whole bunch of stuff. That’s bacteria.

That’s fungus, also known as yeasts or molds. It’s even viruses. It’s stuff we probably haven’t identified yet. We’re this giant synergistic organism that is this mass of

human cells interacting with way more non-human cells. We’re a walking planet.

Before starting Obi Probiotic Soda, you worked on production for Kombucha Botanica. What was that like?

When you’re the second person at a company, you end up tweaking the formula and doing low-end scaling.

I joined up with founder Adam Goodman when I was about 20. I was totally bitten by the food science and the product formulation bug.

You started Obi Probiotic Soda in 2009. What did you learn?

That was crazy. In 2016, which was the year we sold the thing, we had gotten a call-out from Coca-Cola on their quarterly earnings report in quarter one, and we had 200 percent growth. The company was a rocket ship. The biggest lessons were about trusting my instincts. When I know something is right, I stop questioning myself. As a younger person, the information and all the new stuff I had to do was insane. The learning was to get more comfortable.

Olipop is available at Staff of Life, Food Bin and New Leaf. drinkolipop.com.

ecently, a few hours with my Wild Wine Women group at Odonata’s tasting room was an informative and fun experience.

Denis Hoey, Odonata owner and winemaker, took us on a tour of his facility in Salinas and poured a tasting of all of the different wines he makes.

A delicious and healthy lunch was prepared by Beverlie Terra, who was once executive chef at Chaminade and is now an adjunct instructor with the Cabrillo College Culinary Arts program.

Hoey recently closed his tasting room in Santa Cruz to focus solely on his tasting room and property in Salinas—with plans for expansion into an events venue—and he now sells his wines directly from there. And, thanks to Hoey’s expertise in winemaking, his top-quality wines are selling well.

Hoey’s 2015 Grenache ($32), made with grapes harvested from Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County, is a peppery spicy red with gorgeously layered aromas of orange zest, clove and red fruits. With its full body and chewy texture—giving way to exotic flavors of “raspberry framboise” and white pepper spice—it’s an earthy solo star to enjoy on its own. Hoey suggests pairing it with lamb and

roasted veggies, and I’m sure it would go well with your Thanksgiving dinner, too. “The richness and depth of this Grenache erupts with every sip, while conveying texture and balance,” Hoey says. “This wine has serious personality and can handle a wide variety of dishes.” I bet that includes turkey and stuffing!

Odonata Wines, 645 River Road, Salinas. Open daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

LOCAL WINE IN MAUI We recently had a first-time visit to Maui, soaking up glorious sunny weather and some terrific food and wine. I was glad to see quite a few local wine labels on supermarket shelves and in restaurants. We enjoyed a superb seafood lunch one day in Mama’s Fish House, paired with some 2015 Chalone Estate Chardonnay. Chalone Vineyard is just a stone’s throw from Pinnacles National Park in Soledad—very handy for wine tasting after a taxing hike!

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES A RETURN JOURNEY— MERCURY RETROGRADE As Venus becomes stationary direct, Friday (Nov. 16), Mercury becomes stationary retrograde. An interesting intersection of planetary movements.

Although soon in direct motion, Venus will remain in her retrograde shadow until Dec. 18. With Venus slowly moving forward, our newly assessed values and how to use resources more effectively become apparent. We are careful and observant of these things.

And so, as one planet ends its retrograde motion, another begins. Mercury (wing-footed Hermes) retrograde (13 degrees Sag - 27 degrees Scorpio) is retrograde until Dec. 6 at the new moon. Mercury retrograde—rediscovering, sorting through and assessing the past, eliminating what is no longer useful, keeping what is. Mercury retro in Sag, then Scorpio. We all know the rules of Mercury retrograde. We refrain from initiating new projects, or buying large items (cars, homes, appliances, things of great value).

We are careful with communication, thinking,

speaking, driving, etc.

We check and recheck the fine print. We ponder upon our words before we speak. We are compassionate with others as they speak. Everyone’s mental apparatus is upside down, inside out, sideways. Except those born in Mercury retrograde.

With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, we are careful while traveling. We may end up in places we least expect. We are careful while communicating with the law, with lawyers and professors. Mercury retro is a time of productivity. We clean out, review, update, confirm, revise, catch up, reconnect and become aware of deep revelatory insights. We are flexible and adaptable and sometimes think backwards. We research and reflect. We rethink, rework, reenvision, rearrange and rekindle.

We slow down, enter into a sort of retreat. We consider Mercury retro as a time to hide away, creating a sanctuary and a refuge from the world. We slow down.

Those working with you seek your direction and mentorship. You’re the courage, bravery and light needed that “lights their way.” This is not a compliment.

It’s a responsibility of leadership coupled with love. It’s important to maintain health, exercise and a simple diet. Possibly you need more calcium/magnesium for calmness. With all relationships, be kind.

You seek a sense of belonging. Your talents and gifts have created a life filled with much abundance. Perhaps you now seek spiritual intuition. You wonder how all the work needed in your life can have less stress and limitation. You know you’re here to serve. You change your appearance with confidence. You’re more harmonious. You’re a bit mysterious, too. Careful with exercise. Careful with bones and ligaments. Careful driving.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 14, 2018

TAURUS Apr21–May21 The work and responsibilities continue to arrive. You tend to everything needed, forging ahead with Vulcan’s (Soul ruler) help. Vulcan fashions gold out of iron (Soul/ personality), creates a forward momentum, allows for optimism (a little), drives you toward future goals.

On your mind, always, is how to create and sustain community. It takes more than a village. Tend to your health carefully. Rest every other day.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Notice your concern with how others (groups) see and assess you. Notice a change of values occurring, too. It’s an excellent time to contact old friends; assess business opportunities, re-enter groups and review social media.

There’s a community or group needing your research abilities. Your self-identity shifts all about. This will continue until it stabilizes. Maintain composure, balance, faith.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Home matters more and more. Where you live, with whom, and how to create an environment that supports health and well-being. Simultaneously you must nourish your curious and dual mind. Movement forward is always an issue. Continue to care for yourself and others nearby with compassion and humor. You are to serve with a wise heart. Venus, your companion, surrounds you with a pale orange light.

Work should be good and fruitful. You know you’re wellliked, however, you possibly feel restricted, constrained and controlled by situations not quite in your control. It will be important to make yourself more productive, creating harmony at all levels of work. Banish any thoughts of limitation, create a positive, light-filled aura. The outcome will be more than expected. Work on the honor system. Your honor.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Home and family become increasingly filled with responsibilities and work. You try to carry on family traditions. However, so many tasks interfere. Restrict how much work you’re doing for others or exhaustion ensues. An acupuncture treatment is most likely needed and chiropractic, too. You’re the one at home needing tender loving care. Rest a while.

Contact those far away who love and care for you. Your communication creates harmony and happiness. As your mind ponders future goals, include religious as well as physical, emotional and intellectual considerations. Spirituality and religion sustain us, for they touch energies greater than ourselves. Prayer stabilizes us. As you continue to transform, recite the Soul and Great Invocations daily and with family.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Are you finding yourself creating deeper relationships with others? Leos often tend only to themselves and this creates loneliness. Wherever there’s an imbalance, ask questions, listen, assess, speak from the heart and forgive. Saturn, Dweller on the Threshold of new ways of being, asks you to review past beliefs before new foundational realities can form. Share resources and values. Tend to your favorite kingdom.

Careful with money in terms of the future. It may slip through your hands easily. Assess how you are living and if it’s sustainable for you. Consider other futuristic ways of living. Allow no limitations of thought. Discuss with others how the present world situation affects how and where you live. Share with everyone what you value and need. Daily routines are changed. Your vitality (life force) is intact. Pray to the devas. They’re your friends.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

In daily life, have the intention to focus on facts not fictions, fantasies, or wishful thinking. Facts are the foundation of a clear thinker and later, a good leader. Facts help uplift emotional disturbances, disappointments and confusing changes. Venus asks that you continue to consider what is of value to you and provides both emotional and intellectual inspiration.

Listen for the still small voice of God, the Soul within.

Sometimes we are walking a razor’s edge precipice, remembering yesterday, not seeing tomorrow. It’s good to summon faith that there is indeed a Path ahead even if it’s invisible. There will be a moving forward soon (after years of unknowing). The forests will become the trees of opportunity. Do what’s necessary to create and build community. Ask humanity to help. Draw up a wish list and work on it each day. Everything’s possible.

#4 HAS A SPACIOUS ROOM AT THE ENTRANCE, & FOUR SMALLER ROOMS. parking to be discussed.

This midcentury modern building is located on the new riverwalk path and footbridge over branciforte creek.

I’m sure the techie types who started Zillow thought they were making the real estate process more transparent when they unveiled their elegant platform to crawl the web and tap into troves of public record information. Best of all, their algorithms were designed to analyze all that big data in a heartbeat and deliver instant gratification to anyone who was interested.

In the first crush of social media in the mid 2000s, people somehow took it on faith that information on the Internet was free. And because it was free, it was more accurate because it wasn’t coming from people trying to sell things - like real estate agents trying to sell houses.

Thus, the ubiquitous meme of the Zillow Zestimate was born.

Fifteen years later, the age of innocence for social media is over. Darker truths are becoming more apparent. We are revising notions about what “free” really means and how easily information can be manipulated into “fake news.”

Especially when people accept the false promise of random “facts” at face value and don’t bother spending enough time gathering context.

I’m thinking about a text I got a few weeks ago from a buyer interested in a place I had just put on the market for $849,000 four days earlier. It said: “Your new listing looks great! Let me know when it gets down to the price that Zillow says it’s worth and I would really be interested in seeing it.”

Really? When I looked up the Zestimate it was $747,000, even though it had just received 7 offers in those first four days and was already in escrow for $900,000! He didn’t believe me, of course, and I confess I didn’t try overly hard to convince him.

So much for Zillow. And chalk up another bad case of Buyer Disconnect. Fascinating that people would trust an algorithm more than a person, but that seems to be the state of the world these days. Has anyone seen the recent spate of commercials Facebook is running?

Thirty-second mea culpas acknowledging the wrong turn they took along the way.

Zillow is a huge corporation that’s publicly traded on NASDAQ. It was sued not long ago by a disgruntled homeowner who said that a Zestimate had torpedoed his home’s value. Zillow also just announced that it will start buying and selling homes through a new program called “Instant Offer.” Somehow, that just doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

Occupation: Tax preparer; disc jockey, KDCZ community radio Hobbies: Computer play, music/bass guitar Astrological Sign: Aquarius Who or what first got you shopping at Shopper’s? 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.
