OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Around here, we argue over who gets to do stories about Tandy Beal.

If you’ve talked to her for even a few minutes—and really, everyone should—you understand why. She has a way of thinking about things that’s not like anyone else; even the sound of her voice, the way she floats words into a room with a whisper-y, musical lilt, is unique. I’ve written in-depth about her a couple of times, and there are things she said to me years ago that I still think about regularly.

But I don’t think any of the pieces we’ve run before are quite like the cover story Christina Waters has written about Beal this week. She’s known her longer than any of us,

WILL WE MAKE IT?

4

Will we make it this year? Had a close call last week for fires in our area. With no rain the past months, the whole area is so dry.

Good thing we have not had the big dry winds that have hit north and south of us, with thousands of homes lost. Something needs to be done soon and fast in the Santa Cruz area. The CAL Fire Forest Division has got to start doing large fire breaks around the cities of Felton, Bonny Doon, Ben Lomond, Brookdale, Boulder Creek and Scotts Valley now! PG&E sends Davey Tree trucks out everyday and they do the least amount of tree trimming around wires, etc.

Time to bring in the bulldozers and clear a safe path and take out dead dry trees that help a fire spread. Don’t let our great Santa Cruz Mountains area go up in smoke because of bad forest management.

ONLINE COMMENTS Re: Jaron Lanier: I am not addicted to social media, but I feel I must participate in some ways as a person involved in ecommerce. I actually abhor Facebook for the most part, but do like to interact with my high-school friends and family;

and it comes across not only in the words themselves, but also between the lines. Even though the story is primarily about Beal’s newest show, I’ve never read anything about her that radiates such familiarity, and provides so much insight into Beal’s old-soul artistic genius.

Just as Beal’s shows should be a part of every Santa Cruz holiday, so should Santa Cruz Gives. Be sure to read our story in the news section this week about Community Foundation Santa Cruz County—their new sponsorship of SCG is only one of the ways they’re expanding their philanthropic universe. And go to santacruzgives.org to give to one (or more!) of the participating local nonprofits. We are off to an incredible start—thanks to your generosity, SCG has already raised $130,000 for these amazing local groups. Keep the giving revolution rolling!

mostly I have to have a FB account to use Instagram. I’m a photographer and have two Instagram feeds; one to promote an eBook I wrote to publicize Jamaican music (it’s a book for tourists and visitors there) and the other to share about health, cancer and self-realization. I’m working with network marketing, so interacting online we find people that are looking for what we have to offer. For example, I plan to share about nitric oxide and why it’s good to prevent heart attacks.

When I comment on blogs like this or on YouTube, I find lots of people that are supportive and empathetic. I skip over the hater people, they are not usually commenting on the content I appreciate and seek. I have a label of stage four terminal breast cancer, and I have found tons of resources and people on the internet to support my healing, don’t know why Jaron and his wife had difficulty.

As an artist, not so known as Lanier (LOL) I think the internet and social media is one of the greatest ways to get exposure, make new relationships and gain inspiration. I’d like to get paid for my “data,” but how is that going to work?

I think this is much more complex than Lanier makes it out to be; I’d like to hear more solutions such as encrypted >8

ICE WORK

Allterra Solar is donating solar systems to four local nonprofits for its first-ever Power Positive campaign. The systems each have a $20,000 value and will be 100 percent free to the winners. Allterra hopes to help the organizations cut their electricity costs and carbon footprints. Nominations are open through Dec. 31. “We really want to give back to those who give,” Allterra CEO James Allen said in a promotional video. For more information, visit allterrasolar.com.

Students from Gault Elementary School have been making the one-mile trek to Seabright Beach to pull the invasive ice plant and replace it with native alternatives.

Once thought to help stabilize cliffs, the ice plant has since been shown to actually increase coastal erosion. The students’ work has been successful enough that threatened animals like the snowy plover and burrowing owl have returned to these dune ecosystems to nest.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 21 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

In his autobiography On the Move, neurologist Oliver Sacks praised his friend Jerry’s curiosity and knowledge.

“Jerry has one of the most spacious, thoughtful minds I have ever encountered, with a vast base of knowledge of every sort,” wrote Sacks, “but it is a base under continual questioning and scrutiny.” So willing was Jerry to question and re-evaluate his own assumptions that Sacks said he had “seen his friend suddenly stop in mid-sentence and say, ‘I no longer believe what I was about to say.’” That’s the gold standard to which I hope you will aspire in the coming weeks, Aries. As bright and articulate as you’ll be, you will have an even higher calling to expand your mind through continual questioning.

According to researchers who study animal behavior at two Italian universities, chickens can do arithmetic. The birds don’t even need to be trained; the skill seems to be innate. (Read details here: tinyurl.com/ ChickensDoMath.) I’m wondering whether chickens born under the sign of Libra might even be able to do algebra in the coming weeks. According to my assessment of the astrological omens, the mental acuity of many Libran creatures will be at a peak. How will you use your enhanced intelligence?

TAURUS Apr20–May20 In recent years, a few pioneers have gotten microchips implanted under their skin. These technological marvels enable them to open doors and turn on lights with merely a wave of their hands, or receive up-to-the-minute readings on what’s transpiring inside their bodies.

Now an additional frontier has arisen: people using do-it-yourself kits to experiment on their own DNA. For example, some have tweaked their genes so their bodies create more muscle than is natural. I would love for you to change yourself around in the coming weeks, Taurus, but not in these particular ways. I’d rather see you do subtle psychological and spiritual work. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable time for focused self-transformation.

GEMINI May21–June20 Are you smart enough to take advantage of the fact that your best relationships would benefit from bursts of innovative energy in the coming weeks? Are you brave enough to banish the ghost that still haunts your romantic life? Do you have the moxie to explore frontiers with collaborators who play fair and know how to have fun? Will you summon the curiosity and initiative to learn new strategies about how to enhance your approach to intimacy? I’ll answer those questions in your behalf: yes, yes, yes, and yes.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Would you agree with me that there are both boring, tiresome problems and fun, interesting problems? If so, read on. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re at a fork in your path where you could either get further involved with a boring, tiresome problem or else a fun, interesting one. (I think you’ll have to engage with one or the other.) Of course, I’m rooting for you to proactively wrangle with the fun, interesting one. Here’s timely inspiration from Cancerian author John W. Gardner: “We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 The Jharia Coalfield in eastern India is a 110-square-mile reserve of underground coal. In some places, it’s on fire, and has been burning for over a hundred years. This isn’t a good thing. It’s wasteful and causes pollution. But now I’ll ask you to put aside that scenario, and imagine a more benevolent kind of steadily burning fire: a splendor in your soul that never stops radiating warmth and light; that draws from an inexhaustible source of fuel; that is a constant source of strength and courage and power. I’m happy to tell you that the coming months will be a favorable time to establish and nurture this eternal flame.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Marilyn Monroe, Georgia O’Keeffe, and President Franklin Roosevelt were direct descendants of the pilgrims who sailed from England to the New World on the famous Mayflower ship in 1620. I, on the other hand, am a direct descendant of a 19th-century Slovakian coal miner who toiled in the underground darkness. What about you, Virgo? Now would be a rich and provocative time to reconnect with your roots; to remember where your people originated; to explore the heritage that served as the matrix from which you sprouted.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In March 2005, far more people than usual won big money in a regional Powerball lottery in the U.S. The average for each draw is four winners, but on this special occasion, 110 players were awarded at least $100,000 and as much as $500,000. The reason for the anomaly seemed to have been an oracle that appeared in a number of widely distributed fortune cookies. It provided five of the six winning numbers. Inspired by this crazy stroke of good fortune, and in accordance with the favorable financial omens now coming to bear on you, I hereby offer you six numbers to use as your lucky charms. Will they help you win a game of chance? I can’t be sure. At the very least, they will titillate and massage the part of your psyche that is magnetic to wealth. Here they are: 37. 16. 58. 62. 82. 91.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “You have two ways to live your life,” writes spiritual teacher Joseph Vitale, “from memory or inspiration.” In other words, you can take your cues about how to live your life from what happened in the past, or else you can make your decisions based on what you’re excited to do and become in the future. According to my analysis, the next 10 months will be an excellent time for you to fully embrace the latter approach. And it all starts now.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You’ve always got more help available than you imagine, and that’s especially true these days. Both people you know and people you don’t know may come to your assistance and offer extra support—especially if you meet two conditions: 1. You sincerely believe you deserve their assistance and support; 2. You clearly ask for their assistance and support. Now here’s more good news about the help that’s available. Whether or not you believe in spiritual beings, they, too, are primed to offer blessings and resources. If you don’t believe in their existence, I invite you to pretend you do and see what happens. If you do believe in them, formulate clear requests for what you’d like them to offer you.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In one of his poems, Arthur Rimbaud extolled the exquisite evenings when the mist soaked his face as he strolled, and he sipped that heavenly dew till he was drunk. Was he speaking literally or metaphorically? Probably both, if I know Rimbaud. Anyway, Aquarius, I’d love for you to engage in similar exploits. What are some natural adventures that might intoxicate you? What simple pleasures may alter your consciousness, nudging you free of its habits? Meditate with sweet abandon on how to free yourself through the power of play and the imagination.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s illegal to hunt animals in Kenya. But members of the Dorobo tribe circumvent the law to provide food for their families. As three or more Dorobo men wander out on the savanna, they wait for hungry lions to kill a wildebeest or other creature. Then they stride toward the feasting beasts in a calm show of force until the predators run away in confusion. The brave scavengers swoop in and swiftly remove a portion of the wildebeest, then coolly walk away, leaving plenty for the lions when they return to their meal. I bring this scene to your attention, Pisces, because I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have similar levels of courage and poise as you go after what you want.

RE: HOUSING MEASURES “Measure H is what we all agreed upon,” Singleton says. No, he must be working in an echo chamber. Despite outspending opponents 100 to 1, Measure H lost by well over 10%.

If Singleton had read your story in

August, he’d know that proponents got this on the ballot even though two polls showed that it would fail. Our county must pay the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a doomed election. What a hasty waste of public funds by the Board of Supervisors.

The precinct-by-precinct returns show that Measure H got closest to 2/3 in the City of Santa Cruz. Since Pogonip Park is closed as of yesterday, why not put a $140 million affordable housing project at the end of Golf Club Drive? And call it Keeley Lane. It could house the same folks living there already.

Particular Exposure

I

t’s scary to see people with respirators,” a man waiting in line behind me at the ATM told me last week, his eyes lingering on the bulbous white contraption covering most of my face. “Yeah, I know,” was my muffled reply, though I wasn’t sure if I should be apologizing for my startling appearance, or the climate-fueled hellscape we once knew as “fire season.”

Headaches, fatigue, itchy eyes and throat—the physical symptoms of smoke exposure are nothing compared to the fear and sadness

that’s come with the November wind. It’s safe to say California is in a state of collective grief. To the first responders and firefighters, including 1,400 prison inmates and backup engines coming from Colorado and other western states, Thanksgiving goes to you. For the third year in a row.

It wasn’t long before my sole N95 mask, purchased online during last year’s fire season, began to suffocate, plugged up as it was, and I joined the vast majority of Santa Cruz residents going without; our lungs naked to air so polluted it’s

registering on monitors as far away as Delaware.

“That material will eventually come out of the air, but we know from volcanoes and other huge serious forest fires throughout the world that this stuff can remain airborne for a number of weeks,” says Richard Stedman, an air pollution controller at Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD).

That’s after the fires are out.

But if the wildfire trend continues for the next decade as scientists predict, we are at a turning point

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018

What are we breathing, for how long, and why are you still running? BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

for air quality norms.

“It looks like more and more, people are going to have to plan their events at different times of the year, and have a closer relationship with public health officials,” says Stedman, after the Monterey half-marathon was canceled due to dangerous air quality two weekends ago.

Doing anything that increases your heart rate also deepens your breathing, and is the exact opposite of laying low and limiting exposure, which common sense and health officials strongly advise.

So what exactly is raining down on us? A PM2.5 particulate is very tiny. The EPA offers this analogy: the average human hair is 70 micrograms in diameter. Picture one-thirtieth of that. They’re made up of carbon, various chemicals, minerals, and other known and unknown byproducts of combustion.

“The particles are inflammatory wherever they end up,” says Dr. Dawn Motyka of the podcast Ask Dr. Dawn. The lung, the gut—if you swallow enough of them—nasal passageways. “And they can irritate the brain. Many of them contain compounds that are carcinogenic.

They can cause transformation of the human bronchial epithelium, so in other words they can trigger cancers.”

If you’re outside without a mask, breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth, says Motyka.

“The nose is designed as a filter.

It serves to trap a lot of the larger particles.” Many of the particles that get past our natural defenses remain in the lung to do their damage. But “when you brveathe in the smaller particles they get down into the alveoli, and we now know that they go everywhere.

They cross the capillary bed into the bloodstream,” says Motyka. “They’ve been found in Alzheimer’s plaques, and throughout the lungs.”

Some of the particles are fatty, acting like liposomes that can cross into solid tissue readily, she adds.

On Saturday, Nov. 10, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Santa Cruz reached an “unhealthy” high of 188— with the highest concentration of PM2.5 or smaller that day reading 92 micrograms per cubic meter—nearly three times the federal health standard of 35 micrograms >12

WELLNESS per cubic meter, says Stedman.

Most of the smoke has come from the Camp Fire, 229 miles to our north. Over the past two weeks, concentrations have spiked higher than that, too, says Stedman. But AQI is determined by a rolling 24-hour average of inhalable particulate matter.

The health impacts of shorter windows of exposure to high concentrations have not been determined, says Stedman.

To that end, the EPA has released a citizen science app called SmokeSense to gather data around wildfire smoke impact.

“When you burn through a house, you get a much more toxic situation,” says Motyka. In addition to burnt organic matter, “we’re also getting every fluorocarbon, all of those compounds, the fire retardants, the waterproofing agents, the Scotchguard, all of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.”

The Camp Fire has burned more than 11,000 structures. It’s likely that asbestos, which doesn’t burn, was also released, though MBARD only measures particulate concentration, not its makeup. As for rumors of radioactive particles, Stedman says, “There’s a lot of natural radioactive material in our natural environment, so that would not be surprising,” but as for man-made or mined materials, “I don’t think anybody’s looking for that.”

Agencies don’t test for radioisotopes unless they have reason, like a nuclear plant or waste depot in the burn path.

N95 masks block 95 percent of particulates that are .3 microns and larger in size. “That’s dropping it way, way back,” says Motyka, though they won’t protect you from CO2 or some of the other gases released. Along with air purifiers (which Motyka highly recommends using) N95s are pretty much sold out locally, though KellyMoore Paints is waiting on its next shipment after giving out hundreds over the last couple of days.

Stedman is not enthusiastic about the masks, pointing out that facial hair and individual features can prevent a vacuum seal, allowing particulates to seep in (Motyka recommends using paper tape if that’s the case), and that they can pose risks to the elderly and individuals with health issues, as they make it harder to breathe. Most sensitive people, he says, should get to cleaner air.

Keep doors and windows shut, wash your vegetables extremely well, and even after this stuff comes out of the air, says Motyka, hose down your walkways. Pretending the particles are radioactive is a good standard for limiting exposure, says Motyka. “If you go back to all of the precautions that one takes for radioactivity—people had manuals for this stuff back in the ’50s—we’re trying to keep small particles from coming inside. Mopping the floor, taking your shoes off outside, those are the things you want to do.”

As for the heavy metals and some of the lipid-soluble chemicals already in our systems, the best thing to do is sweat them out, says Motyka, who recommends five minutes a day in a sauna or a hot bath. “And poop.

A lot,” says Motyka. “Remember you’re swallowing a lot of particles, and because they’re lipid soluble, if they’re sitting in your colon, they’re going to melt back into the bloodstream the way that oil goes through a paper towel.” Drinking lots of water and eating lots of fiber should do the trick.

“If you are going to exercise, your best place to do it is probably in the ocean or in a pool,” says Motyka, as air quality is generally improved above water—but only for about six inches above the surface.

Stedman recommends AirNow. gov, which gets its data from MBARD, to stay on top of AQI—but they don’t provide up-to-the-minute particulate concentration like PurpleAir.com does. “What we’ve been finding is [Purple Air monitors] have been over predicting concentrations, and then in other areas, especially along the coast, they’re actually under predicting,” he says. “We may have a situation where in the future we start giving instantaneous air results. This was never an issue until these last few years when we started seeing these severe wildfires, and we realized that people want to know what they’re being exposed to currently.”

NEWS PUSH TRACK Amid concerns from Metro, the RTC pushes Unified Corridor Study vote on the rail trail

NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

Barrow Emerson leaned forward nervously in his seat in the far corner of the Watsonville City Council chambers. As the four-hour-and-twenty-minute Nov. 15 Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) meeting stretched late into the night, Emerson sat tethered by his phone to one of the room’s few electrical outlets, awaiting the commission’s decision on whether to delay a major vote on Santa Cruz County’s transportation future.

The commission voted unanimously to hold that vote no sooner than midJanuary, giving more time to the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit Department and other interested groups to respond to recommendations in the RTC’s Unified Corridor Study (UCS). Otherwise, a decision on the UCS could have happened in early December.

After Thursday’s vote, Emerson— planning and development director for the Metro bus agency—leaned back in his seat, looking suddenly at ease. When asked by GT if he felt relieved, Emerson downplayed the moment, saying that he didn’t want to “apply an emotion to it.”

“More time will allow people involved in this to share information,” he added diplomatically, as commissioners and activists filed out of the council chambers.

A staff report prepared by Emerson laid out concerns about the 230-page UCS, which examines the best way to improve north-south travel times along three major corridors—Highway 1, the dormant coastal rail corridor, and the 19-mile stretch of surface streets from Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz to Freedom Drive in Watsonville.

On Thursday, RTC staff spoke to the commission about their preferred scenario, which they had released a few days earlier.

Staff suggested a combination of rail corridor changes, highway improvements and upgrades to the Soquel/Freedom corridor. The bulk of cash in the plan, some $635 million, would go toward the rail corridor, where the RTC would introduce passenger service alongside a long-planned bike path.

vision of philanthropy to the venerable organization. PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Community Foundation CEO Susan True expands the organization’s philanthropic vision BY LAUREN HEPLER

O

ne of the first things Susan True did when she started as CEO of Community Foundation Santa Cruz County was move her office right next to the front door of the 26-year-old organization’s Aptos office.

“I want to be accessible,” says True, a Minnesota native who moved to Santa Cruz to pursue a degree in community studies at UCSC in the early 1990s.

Since then, in two decades of work with local groups like the University of California AIDS Research Program, First 5 Santa Cruz County, and CASA, True has tackled

everything from slowing the spread of HIV to court representation for foster children. (In the process, she became a foster parent herself).

An easy conversationalist who jumps seamlessly from different loan structures to the on-the-ground impacts of income inequality, True estimates that she’s amassed “at least 1,000 data points” in meetings with all manner of community groups during her first year on the job. The challenge now: connecting the dots on issues ranging from housing to public health to youth development.

“We have problems in this county that are bigger than any foundation’s

grantmaking can cure,” True says.

“How can the Community Foundation promote economic mobility?”

If the task sounds daunting, there are several factors working in the Community Foundation’s favor. For one, the organization’s financial muscle has increased dramatically, to more than $131 million in total assets last year, compared to $46 million in 2009, annual reports show. In 2017 alone, the Community Foundation gave out $6.3 million in annual grants, $15.2 million in investment and launched several new impact funds.

ON BALANCING GRATITUDE WITH ACTION

By Datta Khalsa, Broker In this time of giving thanks, it is staggering to consider the many lives and homes lost during the past few weeks in the midst of the worst fires on record in our state. This year there is a special level of gratitude for the roofs over our heads, however humble or grand they may be.

And while the fires up North may have temporarily grabbed the headlines, all around us are tragic conditions for others who have lost their homes as a result of being unable to hold down a place to live. The thing is, it’s not just their problem—it also becomes our problem if not responsibly addressed.

As we reflect upon the year, it should be our goal to balance the gratitude for what we have been able to achieve and enjoy, with the moral obligation to be unsatisfied with that which remains to be improved in our world, starting with our community.

Several recent initiatives voted on in this past election focused on housing issues. Two of these, Proposition 10 and Measure M, favored rent control. And while well-intentioned, they would likely have created yet another kind of disaster, destroying the very housing they sought to protect. I for one am grateful for the collective wisdom of the local voters who were able to heed the damaging impacts of rent control on other communities who have suffered its unintended consequences.

On the other hand, it was disappointing to witness the failure of Measure H, which would have provided a means for those who have property to help those without property. This measure would have created up to $140 million in general obligation bonds at an estimated tax rate of $16.77 per $100,000 of assessed value to fund housing for those with median and low income, veterans, seniors, and persons with disabilities, mental health disorders, and substance abuse disorders.

NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

It was estimated that these bonds would have generated $8.6 million annually, with 100% of the revenue staying in Santa Cruz County, compared to the low 12% of our regular property taxes that the State leaves for us once it takes its share.

16

In all, Measure H would have allocated: $105 million (75%) toward construction of 1,041 rental units and accessory dwelling units; $21 million (15%) toward homeless facilities and year-round shelter; and $14 million (10%) toward loans for first-time homeowners.

And while it fell short of the 2/3 super majority that was needed to pass it, the Measure did get support by a 52% majority of voters, showing that there at least exists a “moral majority” among us, which I see as a positive application of a term once coined by a televangelist.

It occurs to me that out of this majority we could form a group of concerned property owners who voluntarily contribute what we would have ended up paying had Measure H passed and direct it to worthy local entities in their ongoing work to solve housing and homeless issues, instead of waiting another two years for the chance to make a difference.

And maybe, just maybe, we could help lessen the growing frequency of incidents attributed to the proliferation of homelessness and illegal campsites in our midst, such as the 21-acre Rincon fire just beyond the outskirts of town, which recently injured four firefighters and forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents. Indeed, two years could be too late.

has spearheaded is an expansion of low-interest loans to organizations working on issues including local housing and small business assistance.

“She is someone who, when she gets an idea in her head, it’s gonna happen,” says Ian Magruder, a Santa Cruz native who works for loan recipient Landed. “Not everyone we work with has that mentality. It’s been really refreshing.”

The Community Foundation has allocated $1 million to support San Francisco-based startup Landed, which provides downpayment assistance to teachers purchasing homes in expensive areas like Santa Cruz. In the first several months of the program, 10 local public school teachers have taken advantage of the loans to buy homes in Aptos, Ben Lomond and other areas, Magruder says.

Key to the impact fund model espoused by the Community Foundation, along with nearby Silicon Valley donors like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg initiative, is long-term financial sustainability. Rather than a one-time grant or donation, the idea is that teachers will pay back the down-payment loans and provide capital for additional colleagues to use.

“If we were just giving away some free money, we could help some families, but it would be gone overnight,” Magruder says.

In 2012, True embarked on an unplanned “hiatus” from Santa Cruz—a five-year tour of the Bay Area that took her through Stanford’s business school for a master’s degree in management and a job as director of education strategy and ventures at Oakland’s Kenneth Rainin Foundation.

While sneaking in weekend trips back to Santa Cruz, True also got a front-row view of the fast-evolving world of “social innovation.”

An outgrowth of “traditional philanthropy,” or straightforward grants and donations, evangelists of social innovation—including, as the name implies, many tech industry philanthropists—promote a wider array of investment techniques, tax-advantaged funds and more detailed data on the impact of dollars contributed.

“We have so many tools now,” True says, noting that the Community Foundation has seen a sharp uptick in donations of tech company stock and more individualized “donor-advised funds.” The foundation also offers one-on-one planning for retirement fund disbursements and giving that takes maximum advantage of recent tax reforms.

For Reggie Knox, executive director of Aptos-based agricultural lender FarmLink, a recent $1 million loan commitment from the Community Foundation translates to more early-

season capital available to smallscale Central Coast farmers. Like the teacher housing loans provided by Landed, the funding for FarmLink comes from the foundation’s Community Investment Revolving Fund launched after an anonymous donation earlier this year.

“Community foundations haven’t traditionally done a lot of what some people refer to as direct investing,” Knox says. “It’s a really exciting new area.”

While traditional banks rarely lend less than $250,000 to small businesses, FarmLink focuses on “microloans” of $50,000 or less.

About 80 percent of those funds go straight to daily operations like seeds, fuel or irrigation supplies, Knox says.

“You have all these up-front costs at the beginning of the year,” he says. In Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey counties, FarmLink focuses on berry and vegetable farms that span 5-20 acres, including upstart farms that have traditionally struggled to get off the ground. “A lot of people drop out in the first three or four years,” Knox says.

Encouraging local first-time charitable donors is another priority for the Community Foundation, True says. That includes a first-time $20,000 commitment to Good Times’ own Santa Cruz Gives nonprofit holiday fundraising drive. The Community Foundation’s funds will bolster online contributions >20

NEWS BRIEFS CITY SETTLES IN ARLT SHOOTING As a family tries to heal, the city of Santa Cruz is attempting to close a controversial chapter in its history, at a cost of $1.6 million.

That’s the settlement the city has reached to resolve a

lawsuit brought by the family of Sean Arlt over the police shooting that left Arlt dead in October of 2016.

The Santa Cruz City Council approved a settlement agreement with the Arlt family in exchange for the dismissal of all claims against the city. After a months-long investigation, the

Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office concluded in February of 2017 that there was no legal wrongdoing on the part of the officer who fired.

Officers from the Santa Cruz Police Department were called to a home on the Westside when Arlt, who was in the midst of a mental

health crisis, was pounding on someone’s doors. Police said that, when they arrived, Arlt charged them with a heavy metal rake.

In a press release on Monday, Nov. 20, Mayor David Terrazas expressed a desire “to progress forward” and work collaboratively on mental health issues. JACOB PIERCE

NEWS scenario include the extension of Highway 1 merge lanes, metering on on-ramps, buffered bike lanes, and intersection improvements. Under the plan, the RTC would consider adding carpool lanes on Highway 1 after the year 2035. That option would cost an extra $452 million.

Commissioner Andy Schiffrin, an alternate for Ryan Coonerty, pushed back on the notion that the RTC would ever divert money away from Metro. He noted that Metro already gets more than fourfifths of local Transportation Development Act money, and he argued that the RTC’s three Metro representatives are very active and effective on the commission.

“Metro always gets what it wants,” Schiffrin said.

that the RTC’s chosen scenario would divert funds away from buses in the future, and also suggested that the commission should seriously consider bus rapid transit, both along Soquel and Freedom or up and down the rail corridor, where buses could serve as a possible alternative to rail.

At the board’s direction, Metro staffers are drafting a letter to the RTC that will make a few suggestions. One of them is that the RTC should compare train transit on the corridor side by side with bus rapid transit. Metro CEO Alex Clifford says that the comparison should be broken into four categories: projected ridership, capital costs, operating costs, and funding plans.

If the RTC has no intention of taking bus money to cover the costs of the train, Clifford says that the commission and its staff should outline what their plan is for paying for the train.

And if the RTC would like to divert funding, he says the RTC needs to own

that and be transparent before any vote on the UCS. “You don’t choose until you go through thorough analysis,” Clifford told GT after the meetings.

HEARD RAIL In a way, the preferred scenario is more of a best-case scenario.

The corridor study outlines a long list of transportation improvements, to the tune of $948 million. Most of that funding hasn’t been secured. The highest-profile, and most expensive issue in the UCS process has been what to do with the coastal rail corridor.

Activists from the groups Trail Now and Santa Cruz County Greenway have long questioned whether a commuter train would move enough people daily to offset its costs. They’ve called for the RTC to ditch its rail-with-trail plan in favor of a trail-only corridor.

Pro-train activists, on the other hand, have felt bolstered by favorable RTC

estimates since the draft UCS came out last month. They cite the environmental benefits of a train, as well as the study’s cost estimates for the trail-only plan, which look relatively steep.

In a letter to the RTC, the Greenway board asked for clarifications, and criticized portions of the UCS, including its cost estimates.

During public comment, Greenway cofounder Bud Colligan asked the commission not to rush into a vote next month on the future—in part because he argues that incoming RTC Director Guy Preston should have plenty of time to weigh in. Preston begins work at the RTC in two weeks.

Commissioner Patrick Mulhearn was thinking about Preston when he suggested the RTC officially delay its vote to Jan. 17, as it ultimately chose to do. Mulhearn, an alternate for county Supervisor Zach Friend, also wanted to give groups like Metro and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments time to weigh in more formally.

Other items in the suggested UCS

The UCS process also presents a preview of the next battle over Highway 1. Some activists are getting ready to challenge the environmental impact report on the next installment of merge lanes on Highway 1.

Environmentalist Jack Nelson told the commission to weigh the impacts of induced travel demand and remember that new road capacity will, over time, essentially fill up into new congestion.

“You spend the money, and then you’re back to square one on congestion,” said Nelson, urging the commission to prioritize commuter rail over cars.

Commissioner Randy Johnson, a proponent of highway improvements, sees things differently. He said that, no matter what, residents will make decisions about how to get to the store or work or soccer practice based on convenience—not based on high-minded ideas of what’s best for their community or the environment. Any alternative transportation projects aimed at changing commuter habits, Johnson argued, are like trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.

Outgoing Watsonville Councilmember Nancy Bilicich asked the commission to remember the comprehensive Measure D sales tax measure that voters approved with a two-thirds vote in 2016.

The initiative meant many things to many people, but to Bilicich and some other South County residents the measure meant highway widening. She added that she would be in favor of a passenger train as well, especially if it were electric.

“I want it all,” Bilicich said. “The money—I don’t know where we’ll get the money, but we always figure it out.”

SOCIAL TSUNAMI

Though True has deep roots in Santa Cruz, one thing stuck out when she moved back to town full-time last year.

“One thing that has really changed is there are so many new leaders,” she says, thanks in part to a “silver tsunami” of social services leaders like her Community Foundation predecessor, Lance Linares, who retired last year after 22 years as CEO. Among those that have emerged with a similar mandate of more inclusive economic development are individuals like Maria Cadenas of Santa Cruz Community Ventures, which is working on a community impact fund of its own to support small businesses. Another is Sibley Simon of New Way Homes, which has created a fund to help cover housing costs.

In the last year, True has also worked to round out financing for a $2.5 million endowed Fund for Women and Girls to expand scholarships, grants and related programs. The fund, which is about $90,000 away from the $2.5 million goal, is one example of the Community Foundation’s efforts to both invest in areas important to donors and target the region’s most pressing issues.

“The community foundation is such a unique organization,” True says. “You get to take this different view of the community and think about, ‘How do we bring people together to create solutions to some of our most persistent problems?’”

TANDY BEAL BUILDS A CLASSIC HOLIDAY SHOW WITH DANCERS, JUGGLERS, SINGERS, ACROBATS, CLOWNS, AND A GIFT FOR MAGIC

BY CHRISTINA WATERS

TWIRL POWER A swirl of color, dance and music, ‘Joy’ will be presented Nov. 23-Dec. 2 in Santa Cruz, and Dec. 7-9 in San Jose. PHOTO: JANA MARCUS

F

ew people can cast a spell simply by entering a room. Tandy Beal can. With the carriage of a queen and the grace of a Botticelli sylph, the dancer-turned-impresario personifies joie de vivre. Energizing a stage or critiquing a new work-in-progress, Beal is as fully alive, active, and engaged as it is possible to be. Or at least that’s what it looks like to her many students, audiences, and fellow dancers. And it has for more decades than seems possible.

Beal of the dark eyes, long limbs, and infamous mane of Pre-Raphaelite hair just can’t quit dreaming up ways to win new audiences and re-enchant those already converted. She’s been everywhere, collaborated with everyone from Frank Zappa to Bobby McFerrin, and directed both the Moscow Circus and Pickle Family Circus. Her company, Tandy Beal & Company, has been provoking wonder and joy for 43 years. And once you’ve done all that, it’s hard to stop.

And what doesn’t stop is Beal’s faith in the magic of live performance.

“We’re all in the present moment,” she insists, her eyes shining. “We are together. And anything can happen. This moment in real time, with all its joys and possibilities, your whole body shares the experience.”

In her life of performative immediacy, Beal and her repertory company of dancers, singers, acrobats and clowns invite audiences “to be part of something larger than themselves.”

THE REFLECTIVE VOICE

25>

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018

How did Joy come about, I ask the woman I’ve known for 35 years. “Since my beginning work, it’s always been two strands,” she says. “One is celebratory, the other is reflective.” We reminisce about past works such as Crazy Jane and From Blake’s Window. “Most always the questions are around the ‘Wow, we’re on this mysterious planet’ realization. I’m overwhelmed by the mysterious part.”

She shakes her head as if stilled puzzled by the mystery of it all. “I’m always looking to find the reflective voice, then I explore how to create something that finds that strand.”

The humor that inflects Beal’s best work is a central part of her personality, professionally as well as privately. “Early on, I was doing humor, which at that point just wasn’t done in dance—it was considered outré. It wasn’t considered serious art.” She raises a skeptical eyebrow. “Making humor takes as much discipline, care and practice as making serious work. Humor is serious.” And she lets out a full-bodied laugh of pleasure.

In many ways, the graceful woman I’ve watched dance in so many productions is an inquisitive girl at heart, moving through the world with huge gestures, lots of eye contact, and easy smiles. Always beautiful.

“I came from two Broadway actors. I didn’t have to be taught that communication was the basic issue of life. And I live with a man [composer Jon Scoville] who is witty and humorous,” she says. “And I’m a businesswoman, which is important as we’re in the advanced capitalist era.”

In the business of art, the margins of error are slim these days. “When I step onto a stage I instinctively do two things: I count the house, and then I think ‘can I meet the payroll?’” she says. “Teaching is my day job. It pays the bills.”

SPREADING ‘JOY’ “We need this—we need joy,” says Beal. “We did a version of it last year, but this time we’ll be at UCSC. The Performing Arts Theater is the perfect space.”

And the experience, she believes, will be quite distinct for both performers and audiences. “That wrap-around stage—it will be so intimate.”

The show’s title evolved after lots of brainstorming. Nothing seemed quite right. “So I stopped and asked

myself—what am I doing? And the answer was that I want to bring some joy to people. So … Joy!" The newest production for the lifelong dancer/choreographer will be packed with quintessential Beal favorites. “Highlights from the Nut, like the Russian hip-hop dance— very fun. My two dear pals from the Pickle Family Circus, great physical comedic actors who went on to Cirque du Soleil, Jeff Raz and Diane Wasnak. These two clowns together have a chemistry like Laurel and Hardy,” Beal exclaims. “She’s fourfoot-ten and he’s six-two. Well, I called them up and said, ‘Let’s get back together!’”

Beal immediately realized that the scope needed to grow from there. “The stage will be alive with colorful movement. Acrobatics from China, bicycle juggling, Sovoso—an award-winning a capella group. And circus. Funny, weird, magical,” Beal promises.

Once she had the agreement of her players—many coming to perform from all over the country— the company met at Beal’s house in the redwoods. “We had a costume

Having spent the summer dancing in New York “doing solo work again,” she discovered that she still had all her own dancerly wits about her. Which means that she’ll be among those performing in the upcoming Holiday Show. Joy will include much new material plus a few choice nuggets from Mixed Nutz, Beal’s updated Nutcracker Suite tour de force. “I’ve lived in the world of circus—and, for many years, of music. Joy is a braid of those languages—circus, music, and dance. A multilingual production,” she says, with a laugh.

fitting, and then we all had dinner!”

During two weeks of rehearsals on both sides of the hill, the production took shape. Beal knows the music they like to work with, and made some new suggestions. “They said, ‘Not quite, but maybe this.’” And after plenty of healthy back and forth, they landed on what works.

Beal likes to make little storyboards of the various scenes, drawing rectangles to block out the basic overall structure. “Intro and extro—those are crucial,” she says.

She admits to being obsessive.

“And then I bring in the lighting designer, and the sound designer.

I’ve directed some opera, and I thought that was the most complicated thing. But circus! That was complex, and it’s because there are so many more elements. Rigging, harnesses, extra equipment.” She rolls her eyes.

Beal thinks she might be good at orchestrating all these elements because she’s flexible. “As a child, I loved puzzles,” she says. “I like to ask, ‘How are we going to do this, artfully and technically?’ It amounts to a puzzle, and you have to solve it.

Things can and will go wrong, but you have to figure out how to solve it, often right there on stage.”

TANGLE OF MOTION “Does that work?” Beal asks the company of eight performers rehearsing together at Motion Pacific. “You can evolve this,” she encourages.

I’ve been invited into the sacred space for a few hours. “Weave a bit,” she instructs. They regroup and begin again. Jungle sounds fill the cavernous hall and one forest creature in the form of an exceptionally nimble dancer begins to stretch and explore the space, as more creatures twist and rustle farther upstage. Bird songs, macaws, cicadas. Enter a male “panther,” who entwines the original dancer. They repeat a sinuous spiral, and before you know it, they are part of a large, graceful tangle of forms.

Beal follows the performers as they move, and calls a few position

changes, urging them to move farther down stage. “In your mind’s eye, you can have your own moment before you join the group,” she says. Looking to Associate Director Rebecca Blair for agreement, Beal says, “I think she should be a bit earlier,” and then acts out what she wants. Wearing a loose men’s shirt and stretchy pants, her long hair tied back in a knot, Beal improvises the desired gestures. It is a minidemo of her kinetic style and strength.

Seated between the mirrored walls and the company of eight dancers dressed in shorts, tights, and tank tops, I’m treated to a rare inside view that is part process and part performance. It’s as focused, precise and engaging as any Broadway show I’ve seen—an acceleration of horseplay, bodily adjustments, and run-throughs of tricky bits as the players practice lifts, somersaults, and impossible postures. Tandy moves into the group from time to time to negotiate with one couple, organizing a transition from floor to overhead contortions. In between the segments, the dancers check their arm positions and their facial expressions in the wall-to-wall mirror.

“Let’s do the whole thing,” she suggests, while Blair reminds them where the stage lines will be in the UCSC Performing Arts stage in the round. “Adrienne, we need more human body language,” Beal teases a dancer who is performing a longlimbed insect. They rehearse the same part again, sculpting precise hand and foot gestures—signature Tandy Beal gestures, but also gestures that guarantee that the arc of movement never breaks up, continuing far into the space beyond the body.

Grace and strength—that’s what I’m watching. That’s what it takes to make these dance stories. The dancer/animals begin to crawl into the main scene.

“Take your time,” Beal advises.

“Close in toward each other. Travel a little faster. Claire, keep your body in creature world.” Beal illustrates “insect steps,” as she and creative

Next, they work on a piece called “Ribbon,” in which long ribbons on the end of wands amplify each hand and arm movement. The dancers practice ways of using the ribbons to carve great circles and spirals in the space above their bodies.

“Is that a good idea?” Beal asks of one dancer’s innovation. She may be in charge, but she’s nobody’s idea of a dictator. Presence and chutzpah go into this swirl of circling ribbons, and suddenly six dancers are in total sync. They cross the stage diagonally, forming the central tornado of ribbon circles.

“Hold those up over your head,” Beal’s protege and longtime collaborator Saki tells them. She’s in the center of the tornado and needs space to wield her pulsating ribbon wand.

The performers need to know exactly where they have to end up, and how to sense the bodies around them, in order to get there. It takes intuition and plenty of counting.

They each try some variations—a higher leap, or slightly longer ripple—to keep things new and fresh. “You can’t be dumb and be a dancer,” Beal whispers to me.

Next comes a short but mesmerizing piece that pays homage to early 20th-century expressionist dancer Loie Fuller. Now costumed in full-length circles of diaphanous fabric, and holding unseen sticks to extend the reach of their arms, the dancers appear to have translucent wings of pastel fabric. As they twirl and swirl the patterns of curves and ovals, waves and cones becomes hypnotic, requiring a kinetic sixth sense. A butterfly with 12 wings suddenly forms in the center of this swirling dance. “Toe heel walk please, Claire,” Beal urges, prowling through the dancers like a leopard.

Even in rehearsal, the music and movement cast a spell. Beal, with her charismatic posture models how each dancer should enter the stage. “This whole thing is sternum,” she reminds them, flinging her arms wide. “It’s about opening the heart and feeling

the magnificence.” They practice extending their sticks in lovely unison over and over—without fidgeting, arguing or devolving into separate conversations. Yet they all obviously enjoy each other and what they’re doing. “Just catch enough air in your billows to create a cone,” Beal tells them.

There’s a pause for interpretation, refinement of gestures. They clarify and strengthen their movements. “Practice the butterfly at the center of the Loie. Don’t get frantic with those rolls! Heart, space, light!” says Beal.

“And a side of fries,” adds Taylor.

Laughter fills the vast rehearsal space.

Before I leave, the company runs through a caper of physical comedy mixed with split-second movement.

This clever piece involves highly expressive clowning plus dance and acrobatics, with a side of Michael Jackson. They each somersault into their hats before juggling them one by one—then another, then another,

until finally all six players are transferring all six hats from each other’s heads. It’s amazing to watch.

One hat topples to the floor as they exit the run-through. “If that happens during performance,” Beal reminds them, “one of you come back to pick it up before the next act!”

Beal will join her dancers and many other exciting acts when the show hits the stage. Switching from the role of director to performer comes naturally for her.

“I know how to be there,” she says. “The stage is home.”

‘Joy—Tandy Beal & Company’s Holiday Show with Circus, Dance, and Live Music’ will be performed Friday, Nov. 23, through Sunday, Dec. 2 at UCSC Mainstage Theater, 453 Kerr Road, Santa Cruz on the UCSC campus.

While the songs are familiar (glance down your row and see how many knees are bouncing up and down as the tunes roll out), the inventive way they’re strung together in service to the minimalist libretto gives the show its pop. <32 Melinda Gilb, Steve Gunderson, and Bryan Scott, this bouncy musical comedy made its off-Broadway debut in 1988, and has been a popular staple of regional theater ever since. Its only set is a laundromat, decorated here by Scenic Designer Steve Gerlach with giant, colorful murals of vintage Cheer boxes and other soap products. Shaun Carroll directs with the upbeat energy the show demands.

Employee Cindy (Brittany Law), is a fresh-faced ingenue having the worst day of her life, even though it’s her birthday. Among other things, her pen-pal boyfriend has just dumped her. She tries to end it all (wrapping a pair of capris around her neck and dangling one end into a washing machine on the spin cycle— sort of an upside-down hanging), but her plans are thwarted by a couple of guardian angels. Marge (Diana Torres Koss) is worldly and sarcastic. Dee-Dee (Lee Ann Payne) is more of a rah-rah type. But in between sniping at each other, they set out to convince Cindy, via the Tao of pop songs, that life is worth living and true love exists.

That’s about it for plot. But the always watchable Koss and Payne, both great singers, are two of JTC’s most reliable performers—and they deliver, especially in their big solos.

(Koss’ “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” is epic.) Payne also staged the lively choreography. Law, too, has a big, bright voice; these three divas probably don’t even need to be miked.

Rounding out the show’s quartet is Nick Gallegos as everybody else, meaning every man the women encounter. He’s a riot in a variety of guises and personas, riffing on Elvis

and Paul Lynde in walk-on bit parts like Mr. Postman, Mr. Right, and Johnny Angel. A five-person combo in matching powder-blue jackets that marches in to take its place in the upstage balcony keeps the action flowing with familiar downbeats and song cues.

And while the songs are familiar (glance down your row and see how many knees are bouncing up and down as the tunes roll out), the inventive way they’re strung together in service to the minimalist libretto gives the show its pop.

“Wishing and Hoping” segues into “Tell Him” as a call to romantic action. The angels burst into “The Loco-Motion” when they mistake Cindy’s flailing away at the washing machine for a new dance craze.

The songwriters represented on the show’s hit parade are a diverse bunch, from Burt Bacharach to James Brown to Johnny Rivers to Otis Redding to Lennon and McCartney. Most of these tunesmiths are male (with Carole King and Phil Spector alumna Ellie Greenwich among the exceptions), but they were often writing for female performers like Lesley Gore, the Ronettes, Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick, and the Supremes, who made gigantic hits out of them—simple (and catchy) songs of heartbreak, yearning, hope, and swoony romance.

In other words, perfect material for this lightweight laundromat operetta.

The Jewel Theatre Company production of ‘Suds’ plays through Dec. 2 at the Colligan Theater at The Tannery. Call 425-7506, or visit JewelTheatre.net.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT time go for you? It was for my 23rd birthday—so beyond my wildest dreams. What did you learn the first time? We humans need very little coaxing to be able to slow dance with a stranger or tell someone the last time you cried. What was better the second time? I removed a minute ranking how much we resented our fathers. Why is a minute ideal? You can do anything for a minute. What’s an ideal minute? Being prompted to talk about chips to the sounds of Salt-N-Pepa. What minutes are less than ideal? Every minute you’re not at Power Hour. Duh.

BREAK!

GO TIME Elise Granata leads a Power Hour from the stage last year at the MAH.

Power Play There’s nothing quite like the Power Hour of Fun BY STEVE PALOPOLI with other crowd members—and the more ridiculous they get, the more sublime the experience. With 60 different prompts over 60 minutes, the pace gets both frenetic and hilarious, and so—in honor of the next Power Hour of Fun coming up at the MAH on Thursday, Nov. 29—I tried to recreate a bit of that feeling via a rapid-fire interview with Granata in which I like to think we tapped into the true spirit of the Power Hour. Hold on tight.

Why power? ELISE GRANATA: Because we all have it and when used correctly, it can be superglue between strangers. Why hour? That’s all the time we need to get weird.

And have fun. And maybe make a few new friends. Why random prompts?

Unprompted, I don’t know if people would invent secret handshakes with each other like they do at Power Hour. Why crazy random prompts?

One hundred people in a room need permission to yell at the top of their lungs and give each other sharpie tattoos. Favorite crazy random prompt?

“Greet a stranger like you’re old friends.” Craziest random prompt ever? Group flossing. Who needs power hour? Everyone who needs to get out of their head and into social bungee jumping. Who does power hour need? Everyone who is willing to say “I can do anything for a minute.”

How’d you think of this? Riffed off of the power hour drinking game and made it a sober (if you want it to be) social experience. How did the first

The Power Hour of Fun will happen on Thursday, Nov 29 at the Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz.

Warm-up games and mingling begin at 7 p.m., Power Hour begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5-$10; go to powerhouroffun.com for more information and to buy tickets.

hen I went to the very first Power Hour of Fun in 2014 at the Museum of Art and History, I had no idea what I was in for—but then, neither did the rest of the world. At the time, it was just a secret plan for a totally unique interactive social experience brewing in the mind of the MAH’s “Community Catalyst” Elise Granata.

That night, though, it became real.

Oh man, so real. I can sort of generally describe the experience by saying that Granata leads the proceedings from up on stage, giving a new prompt for the crowd to follow every 60 seconds. These prompts range from making a particular motion to interacting

Did you enjoy the break? No. I was too excited to come back. What do you do if the energy is lagging? Become a cheerleader on jet fuel. Why is it good for social people? It is so much less boring than a happy hour. Why is it good for shy people? Everyone is out of their element, so it is fantastic cover to be out of yours, too. Why is it in a museum? It is the perfect venue for connecting with something unfamiliar. Do you ever feel silly?

Always. Why is good to feel silly? It is proof of resilience from your weird day, days, year, or years. How do you pick the music? I hear it playing in Trader Joe’s and think “oh, this would be perfect for 100 people to catwalk to.” How does the music pick you? Whitney Houston whispered to me as a newborn baby in 1991 and told me one day I would use “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” to help strangers have fun. How do you feel afterward? Like I just went to a pep rally at a dance club in rock ’n’ roll heaven and the french fries were free. What’s the best compliment you’ve gotten? “My girlfriend and I started dating because of this.”

What’s the weirdest suggestion you’ve gotten? Blindfolded baked potato eating contest. When you wave your hands in the air, do you care? No, and neither should you.

Love During Wartime Birds of Chicago find hope and empathy in trying times BY AARON CARNES

T

he day President Trump was sworn into office was a dark day for a lot of Americans. But husbandand-wife duo Birds of Chicago spent that day in the studio recording Love in Wartime, an uplifting and emotive album that drifts beyond the traditional folk they’re known for into rock ’n’ roll and gospel territory.

“That was a relief, to be able to do something that felt joyful and something good that we could control on a day that felt very much

the opposite,” says singer/guitarist JT Nero. “It felt like cheating to have our own personal little bubble for a while. It was nice to shut the doors.”

But the record wasn’t meant to exist in a vacuum. It very much deals with the process of finding joy and expressing love in the midst of difficult times. The title track in particular is a touching ballad that reminds the listener of the humanity all around us that’s easy to ignore, but powerful to focus on.

“It’s that kind of basic recognition

of someone else’s soul. That’s the crucial DNA for a more loving culture in general,” Nero says. “It starts with those basic little covenants between people. ‘I see you, I got you.’ Wartime being a metaphor for any condition that negates love. The antimatter to love.”

The album’s title and general mood suggests the duality of trying to find joy and peace in our turbulent political times. But at the same time, it’s about something much more than the Trump era. In

fact, the duo was writing the songs before Trump got the nomination.

“Political realities are emblematic of deeper wounds,” Nero says. “While initially, they didn’t feel explicitly political, certainly not partisan, I would say the need for a suite of songs that dealt with love in all its kind of practical and celestial applications felt pretty crucial. It felt like we’ve been operating at a loveand-empathy deficit in a way that has felt particularly urgent as of late.”

Much of this realization is something came to Nero well after recording the songs. As he and partner Allison Russell were writing the songs, they had no idea why.

“As a matter of course, I almost try to never be clear about what I’m writing,” Nero says. “You’re out with your guitar trying to catch butterflies, and you see what you come up with. A phrase will pop out, and I will be singing it a certain way.

Then it’s more like a detective: Why does that phrase not want to let go?”

They wrote some songs during the initial songwriting process that had a melancholy folksy sound to them, but set those aside for an EP called American Flowers, which they released a few months prior to Love in Wartime. The title track from that EP has become a show closer for the duo. It’s a front-porch sing-along that acknowledges the sadness and strife of the country, but pairs it with a message of hope. (“I have seen American flowers all across this land/From the banks of the Shenandoah, along the Rio Grande/Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men/I have seen American flowers they will bloom again.”)

“That song I wrote to remind myself that good people in this country are the rule, and not the exception to the rule,” Nero says.

“No matter how up in arms any of us are about what is going on politically, deep down we know we’re going to have to figure out a way to talk to each other and not demonize the other side. The only way you talk to each other is if you remember that we’re all humans.”

Birds of Chicago plays at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

MONARCH BUTTERFLY TOURS The monarchs are coming, the monarchs are coming! Okay, technically they’re already here, but they won’t hang out long. Every year, thousands of monarchs flock to the Natural Bridges eucalyptus trees. They migrate all the way from the Rockies—that’s more than 800 miles for their little wings to flap. We don’t blame them for taking a breather and getting a little lovin’ before they turn around and go back. They’ll probably be here ’til January, but now is the best time to see them in all of their glory.

Tours held at 11 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday. Natural Bridges State Beach Visitor Center, 2531 W Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. 423-4609. parks.ca.gov. free, $10 day use parking.

ART SEEN

40

‘LAY OF THE LAND’ The Museum of Art and History’s latest exhibit is all about Chile native Rodrigo Valenzuela, who was waiting for work at Home Depot as a day laborer 10 years ago. Today, he is a professional artist and UCLA professor. While his abstract landscapes may seem to be of familiar places like Joshua Tree, his work is actually a mish-mosh of American and Chilean landscapes, with some foosball and film for good measure. The work portrays the obstacles immigrants face in making the United States feel like home.

Show runs through Sunday, Feb. 17 with an artists talk on Thursday, Jan. 17.

Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. 429-1964. santacruzmah.org. $10 general admission, free on First Fridays.

Either way, there are plenty of experienced birders in and around Santa Cruz to lead the way in birding etiquette, Jim Williams being one of them. Williams will talk about birding in Henry Cowell State Park, and answer any and all flying friend-related questions. Bring a water bottle and comfy footwear.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

ONA STEWART Ona Stewart loves music. He plays four to five hours daily, and is always writing new songs. Fortunately, he has a popular local band, the Naked Bootleggers, which gives him a platform to play his tunes in front of local crowds. But because he doesn’t want to burn people out, he keeps the Naked Bootleggers gigs to a minimum.

So he also gigs as a solo artist.

NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

There are other advantages to playing solo shows. For instance, the Naked Bootleggers are a bluegrass-oriented band, but Stewart has a number of other influences that he can bring to his solo work.

50

“It’s nice to have another outlet. There are so many other songs that I can’t necessarily play with the band, because it doesn’t fit into the sound we’re going for,” Stewart says. “I’m definitely influenced a lot by old R&B, like Otis Redding and Bill Withers. Just different directions, like Tom Waits. I grew up listening to punk rock, so I have a lot of anger to get out as well.”

It can be a challenge to make sets work as a one-man acoustic band, but Stewart does it by twisting and convulsing his voice in unique and interesting ways, or going really quiet when he needs to. It’s all about dynamics.

“Each crowd is different. Some audiences are listening audiences. There are times you go soft and sweet in the delivery.

Some you need to slap in the face to get them to acknowledge it,” Stewart says. “I love singing. I love it when people want to hear it, but I sing all day long by myself. I just love to sing.” AARON CARNES 8 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 28, Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

FIRE NUNS

WEDNESDAY 11/21 JAM BAND

SHADY GROOVE As they near the 20-year mark, Shady Groove is a local institution. If you’re a fan, you’ve probably witnessed long stretches of improvisational jams that are once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This is true for the assortment of covers they play, as well as for the originals which pull from rock, jazz, New Orleans, reggae, gospel, R&B and just an overall Haight Street “dance band” vibe. Just don’t lose your shirt as you try to catch the colorful flashing lights with your hands. AC 9 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $12/adv, $15/door. 335-2800.

GARAGE ROCK

THE MYSTERY LIGHTS A modern proto-punk band, the New York-by-way-of-Salinas group the Mystery Lights sound like a lost contemporary of the Sonics or the Seeds, all swagger and wailing treble. Their self-titled debut was released in 2016 by Daptone subsidiary Wick Records, a welcome

expansion of Daptone’s all-things’60s catalog. Live, the Lights have an ability to find the spaces where punk and drone overlap, creating thick waves of psychedelic noise between high energy blasts of a howling thing called rock ’n’ roll.

MIKE HUGUENOR

9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $14/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 11/23 POST-PUNK

FIRE NUNS Portland’s Fire Nuns don’t know if they want to be a fuzzed-out garage-rock Burger Records band, or if they’d rather be razor-focused math rock nerds. They somehow manage to encapsulate the wild abandon of garage-rock and the technical prowess of math rock, and meld it together in a way that stays true to the contradictory ethos of both. The band has been releasing a steady stream of albums since 2013; their latest, Band on Holiday, is a messy, straightforward rocker with guts, heart and robotic precision. AC 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

COUNTRY

JESSE DANIEL Jesse Daniel is a bit of a rockabilly rebel, but his songs are full on honky-tonk revelry. He twangs his pithy, anecdotal stories with all the swagger of a bad guy gone good (but still a little bad, in all the right ways) and turns his troubled backstory into rollicking one-liners which manage to give everyone in the audience a vicarious shit-eating grin. ’Cause we’ve all known trouble of some sort, haven’t we? Daniel makes light of our silly, fragile human egos, but still somehow comes off as a major badass in the end. Swoon. AMY BEE 9 p.m., Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $15/door. 479-1854

METAL

BLASPHEMOUS CREATION Reno’s Blasphemous Creation are celebrating a dozen years of blast beats, thrashing riffs and mayhem.

SMOKESHOW

metal trio Sledge and Santa Cruz’s own Blood Omen, but Blasphemous Creation will also be releasing their long-awaited fourth album, Forsaken Dynasty. Don’t say you weren’t warned. MAT WEIR 9 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

SATURDAY 11/24 SMOKESHOW Some of Smokeshow’s songs sound like acoustic versions of classic rock ballads, like Led Zeppelin if those dudes had sweet, sweet lady harmonies. Other take on a melancholic vaudevillian vibe, with modest mandolin riffs accompanying gritty-sweet vocals lamenting, “Oh fire/Mighty agent of change/ But stick around too long it’ll make you deranged.”

Sometimes the indie folk duo will do a sing-out, call-back style with their lyrical stanzas, resulting in a powerful cascade of imagery, like two Robert Plants fighting over the same narrative vocal structure. Which voice will win? Who knows! AB 9 p.m., Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

JAM BAND

MOONALICE With one of the strangest pedigrees in jam music, Moonalice boasts members of Hot Tuna, Jefferson Starship, Phil Lesh and Friends, and … a venture capitalist? In addition to penning “It’s 4:20 Somewhere,” singer Roger McNamee was an early investor in Facebook, worked at T. Rowe Price in the ’90s, and is dead certain that “music and technology have converged.” In the past, Moonalice has included both G.E. Smith and Jack Casady, but when they come to Moe’s Alley they’ll be bringing Grateful Dead alum Big Steve Parish in the role of “road scholar.” MH 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Drive, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 11/26 JAZZ

RAY BROWN QUINTET Longtime Cabrillo College professor Ray Brown returns to Kuumbwa with his new quintet, a stellar band featuring

some of the region’s top improvisers.

Trading his horn for the vibraphone, Brown gives top billing to Pacific Grove pianist Eddie Mendenhall. His daughter, the Juilliard-trained bassist Kanoa Mendenhall, adds a vivifying jolt of youth to the ensemble, while the brilliant drummer Alan Hall is worth the price of admission himself. Rounding out the band is Erik Jekabson, an essential creative catalyst on the Bay Area jazz scene. ANDREW GILBERT 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $26.50/adv, $31.50/door. 427-2227.

INDIE-FOLK

SUNDAY, NOV 25

Helen Sung is a classically trained pianist who brings the wildly divergent worlds of jazz, a pure form of spontaneity, together with classical music, which is very methodical and premeditated. The combination creates a brainy, carefree mood that probably requires sipping on gigantic mocha latte mugs to fully enjoy. For her latest album, Sung With Words, she brings an element of poetry into the mix. These are all songs inspired by the riveting poetry of Californian poet Dana Gioia.

It’s an album with singing on it, as well as spoken word intros. It’s taking Sung’s music in a whole new direction in a way that’s both experimental and somehow more accessible.

FILM

FABRICATED TALES Richard E. Grant and Melissa McCarthy in ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ based on the memoir of

writer-turned-forger Israel Lee.

NOVEMBER 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Author forges career in crime in edgy ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ LISA JENSEN

M

ost movies about writers revolve around someone glamorous or outrageous whose oversized personality spills over into their body of work. (Like the recent biopics about Oscar Wilde and Colette.) Lee Israel was not the glamorous kind of writer. But her largely unexceptional writing career took one detour interesting enough to attract filmmaker Marielle Heller, whose film Can You Ever Forgive Me? is based on Israel’s autobiographical memoir, published in 2008.

And who is Lee Israel? A longtime staff writer a The New Yorker, toiling away for long hours in complete

anonymity, she had published a few biographies of bygone celebrities like Katharine Hepburn and Tallulah Bankhead, and cosmetics icon Estée Lauder. Her books were never successful enough for her to quit her day job, but when she was fired, she found a more lucrative career in literary forgery—specifically, forging letters from famous authors and selling them to unwary dealers.

The movie begins in 1991, with Lee (Melissa McCarthy) fired from her job for her foul mouth. Worried about her ailing cat, and prodded for back-rent owed to her landlord, she’s drowning her sorrows in scotch and soda when she meets Jack (Richard E. Grant)

in a bar. With no known address or employment, but plenty of style, Jack gets by on wits alone, and the occasional tumble with a handsome young waiter. He becomes Lee’s drinking buddy and confessor.

Advised by her agent (a nifty cameo

by Jane Curtin) that nobody cares about the once-famous people she writes about and to find a new line of work, Lee is stubbornly researching her next biography subject—vaudeville comedian Fanny Brice—when an authentic letter from Brice falls out of the dusty pages of a library book. Lee takes the letter to rare book dealer, Anna (Dolly Wells). Anna is interested, but the content is a little bland, so Lee

goes home, jazzes it up with a snappy P.S., and brings it back to Anna, who buys it on the spot.

Soon, Lee is buying vintage typewriters at junk stores and fabricating completely fake letters from famous wits like Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward, copying their signatures in pen over a lightbox.

Memorabilia dealers eat them up. At last, Lee has discovered a lucrative market for her work.

Annoying little details sometimes trip up the story. When Anna buys that first Brice letter, wouldn’t she recognize it as the same letter she rejected before, with a suspicious addition? For that matter, wouldn’t all the three or four dealers to whom Lee routinely sells her forgeries be more suspicious of where she was getting them?

While the real-life Israel was a middle-aged Jewish woman, Lee in the movie is robbed of any ethnicity. (She doesn’t even talk with a particularly New York accent.) She’s been turned into a vehicle for McCarthy, a generic frump in a bad haircut and shapeless clothes. Yet McCarthy is quietly affecting in the role.

But the movie may depend too much on McCarthy’s underdog popularity to sell the character’s less pleasant aspects. (At a swanky literary party, Lee steals a warm coat from the cloak room, and she plays phone pranks worthy of Bart Simpson.) We begin to see why her life is so solitary, although it’s revealed she once had a relationship with another woman (Anna Deavere Smith, in another cameo), who left because she felt the prickly Lee was pushing her away.

Still, the movie’s epiphanies work well—as in the moment Lee realizes she’s done the best work of her career in other authors’ voices. And McCarthy’s curmudgeonly Lee and Grant’s fizzy Jack make a delicious odd couple. Their friendship is the emotional lodestone by which the viewer can navigate this often twisted and cynical tale.

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? With Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant.

Written by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty.

From the book by Lee Israel. Directed by Marielle Heller. Rated R 106 minutes

FILM NEW RELEASES CREED II Really, they should have just called this Rocky IV 2, since it brings back Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago, who is this time training his son to fight against Apollo Creed’s son. This franchise is really starting to get into Ghost of the Son of the House of Frankenstein territory, but as long as Michael B. Jordan is playing Adonis Creed, I doubt anyone is going to mind. Co-starring Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. (PG-13) 130 minutes. (SP) GREEN BOOK Sure to be the feelgood movie of the year about racism, Green Book is based on the real-life friendship between Jamaican piano great Don Shirley and his driver Tony Vallelonga. The film follows a tour of the Deep South in the 1960s by Shirley (portrayed

by Mahershala Ali), who hires New York City bouncer Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) to be his guide and security. While Shirley comes to grip with the toll racial bias has taken on him personally, Vallelonga has his eyes opened to the injustice of Jim Crow laws. Directed by Peter Farrelly.

Co-starring Linda Cardellini, Mike Hatton and Sebastian Maniscalco.

(PG-13) 130 minutes. (SP)

ROBIN HOOD Recently, someone asked me, “Is that new Robin Hood movie set in modern times or what?”

The answer is definitely no, but I can see from the trailer—in which all of the nobility seems to be dressed like they’re going to an L.A. nightclub in 2005—why somebody might think that. (Star Taron Egerton

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 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) CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? Reviewed this issue. (R) 106 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) 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 Right now, you’re probably thinking “Wait, there’s a new Star Wars movie already?”

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

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

(PG-13) 100 minutes. (SP) HALLOWEEN This new sequel-ly reboot (reboot-y sequel?) to the original slasher franchise picks up where John Carpenter’s 1978 film left off, ignores all of the sequels, and then jumps ahead 40 years to let Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode—who has become a straight-up badass in the ensuing time—battle it out with Michael Myers. Yeah, it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens, but the great thing about it is … it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens. Directed by David Gordon

Green. Starring Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak. (R) 106 minutes.

(SP)

Starring Mackenzie Foy, Keira Knightley and Morgan Freeman.

(PG) 99 minutes. (SP)

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. (PG13) 119 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)

MID90S This story of a 13-year-old who discovers skateboarding as an escape from his dysfunctional family life is winning acclaim for writer-director Jonah Hill, who developed it from his own spec script. Starring Sunny Suljic, Lucas Hedges and Katherine Waterston.

(R) 84 minutes. (SP) 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.

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) WIDOWS This all-star crime thriller brings a dose of class to the heist-film 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) 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. (PG13) 104 minutes. (SP)

RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET Wreck-It Ralph was a fun surprise that lovingly poked fun at video game culture. More importantly, it gave me and my eight-year-old daughter an excuse to walk around yelling “I’m gonna wreck it!” for like a month. So you can see why we’re excited for this sequel, which applies the same send-up concept to the internet. Let the catchphrase screaming begin!

Directed by Phil Johnston and Rich Moore. Starring the voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and Gal Gadot. (PG) 112 minutes. (SP)

offered in an interview that “it’s set in a universe that’s set in Medieval England.” OK, so it’s set in Medieval England—thanks for finding the most unnecessarily complicated way to say that, Taron!) Actually, a Robin Hood set in 2005 where people still use bows and arrows for some reason would probably be a lot more interesting than this eight-millionth retelling of the medieval folktale. Directed by Otto Bathurst. Co-starring Jamie Foxx, Ben Mendelsohn and Jamie Dornan.

(PG-13) 116 minutes. (SP)

A Taste of Lillian’s

Entrees shine at Lillian’s, plus a wine pairing dinner at Persephone with Sante Arcangeli BY CHRISTINA WATERS

E

ntrees were the stars at our recent dinner at Lillian’s Italian Kitchen. Along with glasses of rich Eberle Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 ($12) and an excellent Bonny Doon Vineyard Cigare Volant 2012 ($13), we shared a salad of roasted beets, arugula and candied walnuts tossed in a vinaigrette with gorgonzola ($12).

Sweeter than most antipasti salads, it made us wish we’d ordered the Caesar. My robust penne Margherita ($14) came tossed with marinara, fresh basil, gooey mozzarella and an addition of fat grilled Tiger prawns ($9). This was an absolutely fulfilling

and generous bowl of pasta. My companion’s entree of pan roasted salmon arrived on a bed of smashed potatoes ($27). The wedge of beautifully cooked salmon filet was joined by plump asparagus spears, everything strewn with diced fresh tomatoes and sauced with lemon and capers. Both entrees showed off the kitchen’s sure hand with ItalianAmerican classics, and a take-noprisoners devotion to garlic. The dessert of cannoli ($5.50) studded with chocolate chips was unlike the cannoli made by my companion’s grandmother. But then, what isn’t?

The glass of Bele Casel Prosecco

($10), however, was fine. Lillian’s Italian Kitchen is at 1148 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Open from 4 p.m; closed Monday. lilliansitaliankitchen.com.

WELL WOK’D MUSIC PARTY Celebrating the 40th anniversary of both New Music Works and the Santa Cruz Chamber Players last week, world cuisine master Jozseph Schultz outdid himself with a gorgeous spread of dish after delicious dish for the sit-down dinner crowd of arts glitterati. From pappadams and salmon flatbread, through feta Greek salad and Spanish marinated mushrooms, the chef wok’d up a feast of his all-star recipes. My favorites included paper-thin spiced

The delicate quince chamomile shrub ($5) at Ristorante Avanti.

Vibrant and refreshing, this pungent infusion of vinegar-based botanical syrup in soda made a perfect partner for fresh local halibut and an addictive saute of winter veggies. Plus a creamy fresh pea risotto ($23). Alas, this will be one of my last lunches at the original Avanti. Ciao to Paul and Cindy Geise, and welcome to new chef/owners Jonathan and Tatiana Glass.

LOVE AT FIRST BITE

LA LA LA LA LA LA BAMBOLINI Italian donuts at Ben Lomond’s La Placa Family Bakery. PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Sugar Mountains Cannoli and bambolini in Ben Lomond are worth the drive BY LILY STOICHEFF

T

he fresh, earthy scent of redwoods drifting through my car is usually enough to convince me to take a drive up to Ben Lomond, especially if the trip ends in a visit to Mountain Feed and Farm Supply. But after visiting La Placa Family Bakery, I now have two more reasons to escape up the hill, and both of them come dusted in powdered sugar.

Depending on where you live in the county, it can be a bit of trek to get there, but in my opinion it’s absolutely worth it. Originally from Sicily, pastry chef Leonardo La Placa found his calling in pastry at just 12 years of age, and spent several decades working and teaching pastry in Europe before arriving in Ben Lomond and opening La Placa Family Bakery three years ago.

While the bakery also serves pizzas and calzones, the pastry counter— filled with an array of colorful cakes, traditional Italian cookies and a dozen flavors of hand-made gelato— is what immediately commands your attention upon entering.

My eye is caught by a tray of round, fist-sized Italian donuts— bombolini ($1.25 each). While I consider myself a fairly frequent

visitor to our county’s various bakeries and pastry shops, I haven’t seen one of these filled pastries since I was in New York a few years ago, and I’m delighted. A filled donut is easy to love, but a bombolone can reach transcendent heights if done well, as they are at La Placa. Featherlight on the outside and bursting with either sweetened, creamy ricotta or silky Nutella, it’s difficult to stop at just one. Of the two, I prefer the not-too-sweet ricotta, but as I discovered when I brought a box to my boyfriend’s Italian parents and watched them promptly devoured, it really is a matter of preference.

Another pastry that sets this bakery apart are the cannoli ($4 each). These hard-shelled, tubed-shaped pastries are filled to order—to prevent them from getting soggy—with the same delicious ricotta, and topped on either end with slivered almonds. They’re so festive that they’ve become my go-to dessert to bring to almost any celebration, equally fun at birthdays, holidays and dinner parties.

La Placa Family Bakery, 9280 Hwy. 9, Ben Lomond, 609-6552.

ou have to try this,” said one of the staffers at Deer Park Wine & Spirits when he saw me scratching around for some interesting wine. “It’s quite new and local.” He was talking about Tass Vineyards’ red-wine blend of 44 percent Grenache, 33 percent Syrah and 23 percent Mourvedre. Tass is part of a threesome of winemakers that share a space together in Gilroy, so when you head to Tass to try their wines, you’ll also be able to taste from two other wineries—Medeiros Family Wines and La Vie Dansante Wines— in a “rustic but charming tasting room.” The trio calls their partnership Blended—A Winemaker’s Studio.

Winemaker Ron Mosley says “Tass is a name that encompasses my experience over 30 seasons working the vineyard and sharing a part in the mysterious transformation of grapes into wine.” His red blend ($30 in Deer Park Wine & Spirits) is bursting with aromas of dark fruits, earth and spices, rounded out by chewy flavors of pepper, jam and a smidgeon of licorice. Bold and vivacious, it’s a well-made wine that is very quaffable. Blended–A Winemaker’s Studio is at 3200-A

Dryden Ave., Gilroy. 408-852-0779, blendedwinestudio.com.

VINTAGE PRESS My husband and I spent three days in Visalia recently, and headed to the Vintage Press restaurant on a friend’s recommendation. This memorabilia-filled restaurant has been in the Vartanian family for more than five decades, and it’s well worth a visit. One of the listed wines in the restaurant is Hafner Vineyard Chardonnay—a wine sold mostly to restaurants and “patrons.” Hafner (based in Napa) has no tasting room, but they offer tours and tastings at 2 p.m. on the first and third Friday of each month. Visit hafnervineyard.com for reservations and more info. Vintage Press 216 N Willis St., Visalia, 559-7333033. thevintagepress.com.

It’s most important to find the “pause that refreshes” because there’s such an onrush of activity, ideas and ideals, of wanting to travel and discover new realities, that details important to your well-being, may be missed. It’s also time to review values, sense of justice, ideas of what’s occurring in the world, and how you are aiding humanity’s endeavors in building the new society. What are your visions?

It’s good to be in touch with siblings, to communicate, take trips, have conversations with them, sharing news, family gossip, hopes, wishes, dreams and ideas. Be aware that even when doing so, thoughts and ideas and feelings may be difficult to share or information may be misconstrued.

Communicate anyway with the intention to make contact, which releases Love. Your family misses and loves you.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You continue to tend to the well-being of others. Sometimes you remember to care for yourself. You remember that you are a resource and if you as a resource are not tended to well enough, you no longer can be a resource for others. Ideas for the new reality continue to appear. Their manifestation into form has been elusive. Now you see the new world coming forth as the new physics. This is the new Aquarian art, too.

The entire world’s in a state of reorientation, a state you know well for you experience this endlessly. Our world is in a Scorpio state of transformation, testing, and dying, so a new Aquarian world can come forth. Your importance in this great shift is in your research abilities, seeking information to build new culture and civilization. What are your present tasks?

What are you using your resources for?

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

It’s most important to reflect upon what your relationships are based upon. Include all relationships, but begin with your most intimate. It might be that you consider what’s taken for granted, what’s not understood, what allows you to be most truthful, and what is occurring about health, happiness and rethinking resources. A new path comes forth and a new message within the relationship. You must listen quietly and perceptively.

There’s an opportunity now to redefine yourself, your identity, plans and purpose. You’re able to change your mind about who you (think you) are and how you see yourself. Be aware that your presence is very impactful to others around you. Issues you thought were complete reappear for review, reassessment and rearrangement. A new rhythm is appearing. Find some music and enter it. Remain there for a while.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

You may feel like you are behind a curtain in a theater, waiting in the wings for new realities to appear. It’s like planting a garden—lovely arugula, kales, onions, wintergreens, thyme, oregano, parsley—waiting each day for the first green shoots.

Everything on inner levels is being restructured. You feel this but it hasn’t manifested in your outer world. Quietly these new roots of a new reality anchor, become strong, and later reshape your life.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 21, 2018

Your idea of a schedule runs quickly out the back door and you suddenly find yourself with no routines, plans or the ability to take control of daily events. Anything you’ve thought of doing simply melts into states of chaos seeking the next level of harmony but the harmony’s not manifesting for a while. The best thing to do is to prepare nurturing foods. Offer this food to others. They will receive it as goodness from the heavens. You are that.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 The past year has been rather serious, structured to keep you in a state of ongoing training and discipline. There needs to be a time of respite for you to partake in—a state of ease, amusement, recreation, children, pleasure, creativity, games, fun, enjoyment and being with others who think as you do. A previous relationship is in your thoughts, too. Perhaps they show up at your door. Will you let them into your life again?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Family and parents, the foundations of your life, and childhood beliefs learned while young and carried into the present time will be on your mind for the purpose of appraising, cleansing, clearing, and eliminating what’s no longer useful. Be aware that moodiness, brooding, and perhaps intense feelings will arise. Assess these with intelligence and careful observation. They will pass.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 In the following weeks you will discover your true friends, what groups truly support your endeavors and whom you can turn to for nurturance, needs and kind rapport. So much of humanity remains misinformed. You have the ability to provide humanity with questions that allow them access to real information. Then you become part of the education of humanity. You will assess your life’s journey. When traveling, follow scrupulously the rules of the road. For safety.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Some Pisces will ponder upon writing a book, some may consider publishing or will be contacted by publishers.

Consider these ideas without making final decisions.

Acknowledgements and recognitions may come forth unexpectedly. Careful of miscommunication to and with the public. Tend to previous tasks and be careful of your public image. You will continue to work with focused consistency.

Healing begins.

Sun enters Sagittarius Thursday, which is also Thanksgiving, and at the end of the day, a full moon (1-degree Sagittarius around midnight).

Not only are we in a Mercury retrograde but on Thanksgiving Day the moon is void of course, which means we must make an extra effort to have gratitude and to be thankful.

When a festival day is void of course with Mercury retrograde, the day can feel like a misadventure. We forget things, become a bit exhausted. People may not be focused, and everything feels internal. With travel, people, thinking, cooking, everything can be upside down, inside out. It’s a “Heyoka” sort of day. We could also think of it as a magical realism sort of day.

We are to rest during void of course days.

During retrogrades we retrace our steps, doing things over and over, needing to check and double check everything. Time is different, the rules seem changed, mishaps occur, one feels to

be a roller coaster of miscommunication and mishaps. Couple these with fiery Sagittarius full moon emotions and Thanksgiving may feel more like a calamitous journey rather than a festive day with friends and family.

When we know what is occurring in the heavens, influencing us on Earth, we learn how to work with the energies, not against them, not reacting or repressing them. A Mercury retrograde and full moon void of course are potent influences but especially on a day that is usually over-wrought with emotional family interactions, heated discussions and debates.

Perhaps, make a rule that no politics be discussed.

Fill the day with calming, chats, bells.

This Thanksgiving create something madly different: align with the frequencies of Mercury.

These energies last well into the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I am grateful for each and every one of you. Love to everyone, Risa.

REAL ESTATE OF MIND

Provoking thought since 1990 It’s been awhile since we revisited the subject of “stuff,” a topic that continues to occupy an inordinate amount of my time as a Realtor.

What “stuff ” am I talking about? George Carlin stuff. Jam-packed storage unit stuff. Ubiquitous garage, basement and attic stuff. Stuffed into the back of your closet stuff.

The “stuff ” that keeps spawning best-selling books about clutter, the magic of tidying up and Zen fantasies about living like a monk.

The “stuff ” that has launched an entire cottage industry of packers, organizers and housewhisperers.

The “stuff ” that keeps many folks waging endless battles with their own bad habits without really knowing why. The “stuff ” that Realtors wrestle with every day when it comes to selling houses. Ask any experienced agent what the biggest hurdle is to getting listings ready? Hands-down most will say: “Trying to cajole well-meaning homeowners into dealing with their ‘stuff ’.”

For reference: it takes two or three weeks to get an empty house prepped and on the market. It takes six months or more when a seller has to purge twenty years of stuff to get it ready. After helping hundreds of overstuffed clients over the years, I’ve come to one inescapable conclusion: selling a house is hard, but finding a home for all the junk in the garage is excruciating.

Near as I can tell, we’re all on the hoarder spectrum. The only difference between those poor souls buried alive by their stuff on reality TV and the rest of us high-functioning hoarders is a matter of degrees. The rationale for hanging on to things long past their useful shelf life is always the same no matter whether you’re navigating through mountains of old magazines or just bending around thirty-year-old skis to get into the car: “What if I need it someday”?

It’s a fascinating time in the culture, a crossroads for aging baby boomers transitioning from the middle third of their lives to the last third. The struggle around “stuff ” is lumped into a whole slew of issues euphemistically referred to as downsizing. Implicit in the term downsize is the notion that a new life in a smaller place means giving up old parts of ourselves we may have trouble letting go of.

Here’s a revised version of the Serenity Prayer for those struggling. God, grant me the serenity to keep the stuff I do need, the courage to throw out all the stuff I don’t need, and the wisdom to know the difference. If that doesn’t help, call me. I’m happy to make a house call and give you some guidance.

Occupation: Social worker Hobbies: Hiking, walking, gardening, cooking, family fun Astrological Sign: Aquarius Is Shopper’s your go-to market? Yes, there’s a lot to like about Shopper’s: the products are high quality and reliable, there’s always plenty of parking, and the early hours are so convenient: I can shop at 7am and get in and out quickly. I like Shopper’s physical layout, which makes it easy to find what you’re looking for.The staff is really friendly to my kids, Brian and Andy, and they remember their names.The checkers will even let them scan our food! My boys get excited when they know we’re coming to Shopper’s because they’re included in the shopping experience. It’s fun shopping here!

What do you like cooking? Italian, Asian … everything! I appreciate Shopper’s extensive variety of dried pasta for my Italian dishes. It’s fun letting the boys select the pasta. I enjoy making Asian noodle dishes because of Shopper’s sauces and other ingredients.We love to barbecue.You can’t beat their skirt steaks and other marinated meats for grilling. Shopper’s sausages, including breakfast sausages, are always on our shopping list.Their local products — salsas, eggs, coffees, breads, bagels and seasonal organic produce — are the best.The avocados are always ripe and ready to eat!

Are you shopping here for holiday meals?

Thanksgiving, we’ll get a Diestel turkey and all the sides, including Beckmann’s stuffing. Shopper’s superb cheeses and fresh olives and pickled vegetables are perfect for holiday trays.Their smoked salmon and trout make delicious appetizers. For Christmas, it’ll be a prime rib or fresh crab, brioche for French toast in the morning, along with apple sausages. I love the holiday hustle and bustle at Shopper’s.The butchers move quickly but are still friendly as always, while people chat and share recipe ideas while patiently waiting.

Everyone is in a festive mood!
