OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Even locals who aren’t fans of Jerry Garcia and company can surely understand the significance of having the Grateful Dead archive at UCSC. Acclaimed for the way it expresses and emulates the spirit of its subject, it has put Santa Cruz on a very particular kind of cultural map—the one that makes people start to look at us as the keeper of a legacy.

In this case, it’s a legacy that falls right in line with Santa Cruz’s whole vibe, evoking a spirit of ’60s experimentalism and artistic liberation that actually was a huge thing here. So the fact that the first person to be drawn to our new legacycurating status just happened to be the owner of hundreds of items related to Hunter S. Thompson—well, that’s pretty

Re: “State of Democracy” (GT, 1/23): I will never read another edition of your “paper.”

There is not a bit of journalism to it; it is strictly opinion and only one opinion. As I started reading the Madeleine Albright article, “… our dim-witted monster of a president.” Really? This coming from the loving and inclusive culture of the Left?

There was not one scrap, not one minuscule amount of respect for the elected leader of our country. Are you under the impression that every single person who is relevant to the community we live in feels that way?

Then, “after I sat through the numbingly cynical sight of President Trump and ... Mike Pence toddling along in winter coats.” You are evidently the cynical, self-aggrandizing individuals in this equation. It is amazing that MLK’s daughter supports Trump, isn’t it? She must be just another schmuck, unlike Albright, or your writer, Steve Kettmann.

There is a massive divide in our country, and I don't see any end in sight with organizations such as yours driven to foster that animosity.

much perfect. In this week’s cover story, Wallace Baine traces how UCSC came to house an archive for a second icon of ’60s and ’70s counterculture.

Speaking of cultural legacies, coverage of the music scene has of course always been a huge part of what GT does. We love to interview both local musicians and interesting bands coming through town, but sometimes our music features don’t give us the space to explore what makes a particular artist’s work so essential—especially if they’ve been around for a while. So we’re trying something new this week: in addition to my interview in the paper with Martin Phillipps of visiting New Zealand band the Chills, there’s an online-only companion piece at goodtimes.sc that looks at some of the Chills’ essential songs. Let us know what you think—if you like the idea, we may do more of these “primers” for local and touring musicians.

JUST SHAMEFUL Re: “Agenda Pack-It” (GT, 1/16): The city council passing a Just Cause Eviction Ordinance only a few months after Measure M was turned down by voters is a complete outrage and misuse of power. The local community voted and clearly voiced their opposition to this type of solution. This is a total overreach by the city council, and severely undermines the democratic process. When voters cast their ballots, they entrust government to uphold the wishes of the people. A more appropriate response to Measure M not passing would have been to go back to the drawing board, solicit input from the local community, and come up with a different, more agreeable solution backed by a majority of voters.

That’s how Democracy is supposed to work.

Shame on you, Santa Cruz City Council.

The Pulsions festival, a French contemporary art exhibit, is in San Francisco, and it’s coming to the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) on March 11. With pieces on science and politics and support from the Alliance Française Silicon Valley, the festival aims to make audiences feel the impulse of the French art scene. Santa Cruzans Doug Hull, an alliance boardmember, and curator Kalie Granier are behind the campaign to bring the show to the MAH. They’re raising money to offset the costs. For more information, visit afscv.networkforgood.com.

The Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries and representatives from the county libraries demonstrated one small piece of how they’re moving the Santa Cruz County system into the 21st century at an event at Live Oak Library on Saturday night. It highlighted how the library’s “Reach for the Stars” program now allows high-powered telescopes for stargazing to be checked out to locals—just like books— along with some of the cutting-edge virtual reality technology that patrons can try out in the Scotts Valley library’s “Make Lab.” Go to santacruzpl.org/digitallearning for schedules and more info.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of February 27 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for 14 hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into “Prison Inside Me,” a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and Internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

Charles Grey was the second Earl of Grey, as well as Prime Minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws and more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs. Rather, he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea that he made popular.

I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts may also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work.

I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The astrology column you’re reading is published in periodicals in four countries: the U.S., Canada, Italy, and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the U.S. nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as Prime Minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colorado. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini—maybe not as monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive. And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that rebound to your benefit for quite some time.

When Europeans invaded and occupied North America, they displaced many indigenous people from their ancestral lands. There were a few notable exceptions, including five tribes in what’s now Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, Maliseet, and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism, they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins.

Scientist Michael Dillon was shocked when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet—higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks.

Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

At a young age, budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath came to a tough realization: “I can never read all the books I want,” she wrote in her journal. “I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.” Judging by current astrological omens, I can imagine you saying something like that right now. I bet your longing for total immersion in life’s pleasures is especially intense and a bit frustrated.

But I’m pleased to predict that in the next four weeks, you’ll be able to live and feel more shades, tones and variations of experience than you have in a long time.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled? Not in the typical way. He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to YouTube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers to benefit from their training strategies and techniques. Now that you’re in an intense learning phase of your cycle, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that may be unexpected or unusual or alternative.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

Do you find it a challenge to commit to an entirely plantbased diet? If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a less-perfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strong-minded, idealistic, willful, and intent on serving your well-being—but without being a maniacal purist.

The first edition of Action Comics, which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost 10 cents in 1938. Nowadays, it’s worth $3 million. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on Dec. 31, 2019 than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

If you gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. They have a low nutrient density, and provide you with a scant amount of minerals, vitamins, protein, and other necessities. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior. But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body—including images, stories, sounds, and ideas, as well as food and drink.

Until the 16th century in much of Europe and the 18th century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March.

That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life.

If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on Jan. 1.

estate market contains an estimated $163 trillion of value. That’s more than 20 times the value of all mined gold on earth.

What we need are taxes, among other policies, to curb the speculation and protect our communities from the violent gentrification that we have seen grow over the last five years.

A recent report by KQED exposed that 4 out of 10 children in the Salinas City Elementary School District are homeless.

This problem is prevalent, it’s growing worse each year, and it must be treated like the serious human rights crisis it really is. I implore our landlords and renters to

team up and make sure our community has security in their housing.

NEWS UNPLUGGED An ex-UCSC student faces federal charges for ‘Banana Plug’ drug-dealing app

BY LAUREN HEPLER

GENERATING INTEREST Wind turbines 7 miles offshore in England generate renewable energy. A new report endorses two

California wind-power projects currently being reviewed.

Spin Vogue

New report calls for increased wind power, including turbines offshore BY TOM GOGOLA

N

ow that ambitious goalsetter Gov. Jerry Brown has left office, it’ll be up to new Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration to start implementing Brown’s goal to wean California off fossil fuels and shift to an all-renewables energy matrix by 2045.

In this space, it’s Newsom’s job to declare whether the state should get onboard with a new offshore-wind plan released by the Berkeley-based

American Jobs Project (AJP) in February. “We hope that state policy leaders take a look at this,” says Mary Collins, managing director and co-founder of the AJP. The report endorses two wind farms currently under consideration for development—one near Morro Bay and another off the Humboldt County coast—that could add some 18,000 jobs in California by 2045. The report suggests utilizing cutting-edge offshore windmill technology—huge

floating windmills with massive fins tethered to the ocean floor. It also theorizes about future technologies, such as giant wind-catching kites to fully leverage the renewable promise of wind energy.

The Morro Bay wind farm, known as the Wind Castle project, would be just south of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and the idea has prompted questions about how turbines would affect wildlife in federally protected waters. >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 5, 2019

Last fall, UCSC police got a tip about a mobile app offering students easy access to a laundry list of illegal drugs: cocaine, meth, shrooms, MDMA, and “special requests.”

It didn’t take long to find the source. Oldfashioned fliers had started popping up around campus to promote the “Banana Plug” app, a play on the university’s famous yellow banana slug mascot, plus the currently favored slang term for a dealer, or “plug.”

The name of a freshman from Sunnyvale, Collin Howard, was reportedly listed right there in the Apple app store next to the rudimentary banana slug drawing in the logo and the slogan “We Have What You Want.”

Though the 18-year-old’s public Facebook page consists mostly of photos of gadgets and robotics equipment from high school, UCSC Campus Police Chief Nader Oweis says he called in federal reinforcements not knowing if the app might be part of a bigger operation.

“When somebody’s here for only three weeks, you don’t know what you’re dealing with,” Oweis told GT. “You don’t want to get caught off guard.”

It was Howard who was caught off guard when he was arrested on Nov. 28, after UCSC police officers, with the backing of Homeland Security investigators, arranged four meetings through the app and the social media platform Snapchat to buy marijuana, cocaine and more than 5 grams of methamphetamine. The arrest and Santa Cruz County hearings in recent months received little attention off campus—that is until last week, when the U.S. Attorney’s office in San Jose announced that Howard had been indicted by a grand jury for drug distribution and possession. He now faces decades in prison and millions in fines.

Howard pleaded not guilty to multiple felonies in an initial arraignment and is out of jail on a $50,000 bond, on the condition that he enrolls in drug, alcohol and mental health counseling. Howard’s former Santa Cruz County public defender told GT that his case has been referred to the federal public defender’s office, which did not respond to requests for comment. The next court date in the case is set for April. >14

NEWS SPIN VOGUE <11 Federal regulators are analyzing the proposal.

There’s even a possibility that wind turbines could one day appear within the state’s actual coastal marine sanctuaries, says Paul Michel, superintendent for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary stretches from San Luis Obispo County to Marin County’s Rocky Point, 7 miles north of the Golden Gate.

Oil drilling is prohibited in the sanctuary, barring what would be a shocking reversal from the feds, with required congressional approval.

But Michel, who works under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), says that sanctuary officials are working on a permitting process that could potentially allow wind farms into these protected areas.

The AJP proposal, though, avoids suggesting wind farms in protected areas altogether—including in the sanctuaries, says Collins. She adds that the biggest potential hurdles AJP’s ideas face might be from the U.S. Navy, which does offshore training.

WINDY CITY The AJP proposal notes that offshore wind projects could sync with the growing community choice energy (CCE) movement, where counties and regions are determining their energy future through a mix of renewables. The energy could be procured by CCEs like the newly launched Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP).

MBCP already sources from carbon-free and renewable energy, and its current power mix is more than 70 percent hydropower, with the remaining 30 percent coming

from other renewables like wind and solar. MBCP will be increasing the amount of wind through a long-term contract with a new wind farm being built in New Mexico. The group is interested in expanding wind energy, and is excited about the potential of offshore wind, including the Castle Wind proposal near Morro Bay, says Shelly Whitworth, MBCP’s energy communications specialist.

The AJP report arrives as the state is engaged in multiple legislative efforts and discussions about how to upgrade its electric grid, especially in light of the recent catastrophic wildfires, which put energy utility PG&E at the center of a controversy over safety. CCEs rely on that same grid to deliver renewable energy to its customers.

Newsom has championed an allof-the-above approach to energy since entering office. As >14

Santa Cruz city councilmembers have typically each had one intern at a time at most. But newly elected Councilmember Drew Glover has taken inclusivity to the next level, hiring 10 interns—four working on homelessness, two on harm reduction, one on affordable housing, one on water, one on budget, and another focusing on administrative issues. With this infusion of youthful energy, if the City Council ends up handing out avocado toast and bean bag chairs, now you’ll know why. Glover hopes that the interns will be able to reduce workloads of city staff by doing research, while allowing him to push his city agenda through as quickly as possible. We’ll see if it actually speeds things up.

Glover, by the way, incited controversy when he put aggressive public pressure on Mayor Martine Watkins,

questioning her leadership after she declined to agendize his long list of last-minute items on the topic of homelessness for a Feb. 12 meeting. At that meeting, Watkins acknowledged concerns that Glover and Councilmember Chris Krohn had been publicly bullying her because she’s a woman. (Stay tuned for more on that from GT.) Still, Glover’s interns don’t quite have run of the offices yet.

When he did give one intern the access code to Santa Cruz City Hall at the start of his term, City Manager Martín Bernal’s office changed the code shortly after.

GOV COURSE Any Californian who was expecting to see more of the status quo on housing and transportation got a surprise with the start of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term.

For one, Newsom unveiled brand new pots of money to expand housing construction in January, and he threatened

to withhold transportation dollars from cities that don’t build. After that, he filed suit against Huntington Beach, the state’s (fake) “Surf City,” for blatantly blowing off its housing production goals. The L.A. Times reported that Newsom was declaring “War on NIMBYs,” referring to not-in-my-backyard anti-housing groups.

Similar NIMBY forces are also strong here in the real Surf City—even if they aren’t as vocal or as powerful as the ones in Huntington Beach. The governor’s direction could turn up the pressure on the county’s five local governments, most of which are behind on all of their housing construction targets.

A couple weeks later in February, Newsom announced that he was dramatically downsizing the state’s highspeed rail plan. Projected travel time for the complicated train project kept getting longer, and costs have ballooned.

Nonetheless, supporters of

local rail growth—expensive and controversial in its own right—had been using the high-speed rail as a selling point for rail in Santa Cruz, à la… The state is investing in rail! We’ll be able to take the train out of Santa Cruz, and arrive in L.A. within a couple of hours!

Yeah, well, apparently not…

But the state’s rail reversal has yet to make much of a stir locally. It seems that with a Unified Corridor Study already approved, everyone is damn tired of talking about cars, trains and trails. Or at the very least, the transportation activists on both sides have taken a brief hiatus to catch their collective breath after a couple years of yelling.

SLIPPING UP A screenshot of the Banana Plug app allegedly used by a former UCSC student to sell meth, cocaine and other drugs.

14

UNPLUGGED <11 The Banana Plug case is the most recent local example of how law enforcement agencies across the country are struggling with rapidly evolving online channels for sales of not only drugs, but also guns and other contraband. In addition to the Wild West of encrypted “dark web” sites, mainstream social media companies like Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram have faced criticism for being too permissive with users buying and selling illegal products on their platforms.

“These days, if a smartphone app is social and location-based, you can guarantee there’s a dealer near you,” Complex magazine reported in a feature on the digital black market for drugs, which also encompasses smaller messaging apps

like Whisper and dating apps such as Grindr and Tinder.

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Northern California declined to detail whether the agency has prosecuted similar cases related to online drug sales in the area. At UCSC, Oweis says campus police have monitored other cases, like the 2013 arrest of the 29-year-old behind dark web drug emporium the Silk Road.

“We’ve heard of people using apps in the past,” Oweis says. Since the Banana Plug case did not require sophisticated cybersleuthing to crack, he says it took about four weeks to go from discovering the app to Howard’s arrest. In the months since the November arrest, as federal prosecutors weighed whether to take the Banana Plug case, Oweis says campus police cooperated with investigators “to the full extent we can.”

The university is no stranger to major drug busts. The last high-profile case involving federal law enforcement was the 2016 arrest of six UCSC students accused of stockpiling around 5,000 ecstacy pills worth $100,000 at three homes in Santa Cruz.

In a written statement, UCSC spokesman Scott Hernandez-Jason says the university was “deeply troubled” to learn of the new Banana Plug indictment, adding that, “We take seriously the safety of our campus community, and work hard to protect our students.”

Hernandez-Jason also emphasizes a Student Health Outreach and Promotion (SHOP) program for students struggling with substance abuse, as well as an Employee Assistance Program for faculty and staff.

lieutenant governor, he chaired the Lands Commission, and in a 2017 statement said that, “we must continue diversifying our energy supply—that means increasing our output of solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and ocean-based energy.”

The AJP is a nonprofit economic development think tank. Founded by former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, it’s based in Berkeley, with additional offices in the Washington, D.C. area. The organization has been engaged in New Green Deal-type work in 24 states over the past five years, but this is its first foray into California climate-change waters.

The AJP California Offshore Wind Project: A Vision for Industry Growth proposal came about because of the 2045 goal set by Brown, which Newsom recommitted to on his first day in office, and because the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) started the leasing process for offshore windfarms development last year.

As a result of these intersecting forces, says Collins, “We could see a federal lease as early as 2020 in California waters.”

The AJP pored over the details in its exhaustive offshore-wind project paper and blueprint for California energy independence—interviewing fishermen, hearing input from environmental groups, getting the public-private ball rolling, and engaging in discussions with the Department of Defense. The group made sure that organized labor also had a seat at the table.

The report comes with the promise of thousands of permanent jobs in the renewable and cleanenergy industry—and with Google, Shell and Apple, all pledging bigticket investment interest in the California project.

Historically, onshore- and offshore-wind projects have been fraught with concerns over negative interactions with birds. President Donald Trump decried bird fatalities when he complained about views being impacted by windmills located off the shore of his Scotland golf course. Trump’s administration has also called for a renewed push on offshore gas and >16

BLOWN AWAY Fishermen, and especially trawlers, have been wary of offshore wind farms because of the potential negative impacts on where they can fish, and their gear getting torn up by windmills. But there’s been sort of a sea change in recent years with offshore-wind farms, as the graver existential issue of global climate catastrophe has trumped concerns about pelicans flying into windmill blades.

The East Coast has led the way in offshore-wind projects in the U.S., but for many years, commercial fishermen along the Atlantic were among the biggest critics, impeding development of a long-proposed wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island and New York. That project came online a couple of years ago, and fishermen there are now charging windmill tourists for a boat ride to go check out the turbines, Collins says.

California fishermen were at the table when the project was conceived, she adds, and have since been part of an intergovernmental task force created at the beginning of the BOEM wind-farm lease process in 2016.

She believes land-bound aesthetics won’t be an issue, given that the turbines will be tethered about 20 miles offshore and out of view—or barely visible—from land.

Collins says that major environmental groups—the Sierra Club, the National Resources Defense Fund—have submitted comments under a lease proposal that indicates that they’re open to offshore-wind farm development.

The overall gist of their comments, she says, indicates that “they are not against it but want it to happen in the right way”—meaning the way that doesn’t unduly mess with marine life.

GONZO BUT NOT FORGOTTEN How Hunter S. Thompson came to haunt the halls of UCSC’s Special Collection

BY WALLACE BAINE

A

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 5, 2019

day is coming when someone, somewhere will express doubt that Hunter S. Thompson was a real person.

They’ll say that he was just some mythological figure that arose out of the acid-blasted hallucinations of the post-1960s counterculture, or some outrageous McLuhan-esque prank orchestrated by the dregs of the New Left driven to madness by the ascension of Nixon.

And why not? The stories about Thompson sound like legends— blasting his IBM Selectric typewriter with his .454 Magnum, holding court ’til dawn as “night manager” at a notorious San Francisco porn palace, dumping boiling water from a high-rise window onto picketers on the street below, engaging in operatic scorched-Earth tantrum-fights with the editors who paid his salary, destroying hotel rooms, boozing, dosing, smoking, whoring, and still making (some) deadlines with gloriously brilliant and idiosyncratic prose that inspired its own category of non-fiction literature. All without spilling a drop from his ever-present glass of Chivas Regal.

How could a mere mortal live like that? If you weren’t brought up on Rolling Stone magazine and ’70s drug culture, wouldn’t you too think this guy was an invention of some lurid San Francisco hippie novel?

When the God of Gonzo passes into myth, UCSC might be one of the last places to go to get a sense of the real man. Late last year, the Special Collections and Archives at UCSC received an extraordinary gift: a caché of approximately 800 items (in librarian terms, about 35-40 linear feet of material on a shelf) pertaining to the life and career of Thompson, donated by a collector and library professional from North Carolina named Eric Shoaf.

Other than a brother who lived in the area for many years, Shoaf had no direct connection to UCSC or Santa Cruz. As he once did with the work of Beat icon William S. Burroughs—and will soon do with the work of yet another iconic writer, the recently deceased Tom Wolfe—Shoaf is in the habit of amassing literary collections and then finding permanent homes for them. In that respect, he’s something of a matchmaker. And he decided that, like Chivas 20>

I’m visiting the reading room at Special Collections on the third floor of UCSC’s McHenry Library. The head of the department, archivist Teresa Mora, is showing me some of the highlights of the new Thompson collection. She points to the cover of a literary journal, attached to which is a photocopied image of famed porn actress Marilyn Chambers gleefully holding up her own picture on a box of Ivory Snow laundry detergent. (One of the more lurid pop-culture ironies of the 1970s was that the same woman who was the wholesome young mom on the Ivory Snow box later became hardcore porn’s first superstar).

The image of Chambers is punctured with what looks like a bullet hole.

“It is a bullet hole,” says Mora. It

was created by Hunter S. Thompson.

He shot this picture. With a gun.

Maybe in the Cult of Gonzo, such a thing qualifies as a holy relic—or, more likely, Thompson shot holes in so many things that it’s not really a big deal. (He did, in fact, regularly shoot holes in photos and posters as a kind of demented artistic expression). Either way, as I run my finger across the hole in the image of a naked porn star holding a box of soap, I can sense the fury and nerve of the man in a more visceral way than I can through his words, mediated through typewriters and editors and magazine articles.

OK, now I’m convinced: Thompson was real.

About a year ago, Mora got the kind of phone call that library archivists dream about. It was a cold call from a man she didn’t know.

He was interested in donating a collection of material to Special Collections. People in Mora’s position get offers for donations all the time. But this one was

UCSC is also famously home to the Grateful Dead Archive, a massive storehouse of material donated by the band itself, which has its own tastefully lit sanctuary near the library’s main entrance. The presence of the Dead archive is not coincidental to this story. It is, in fact, the honey that attracted the bee.

Eric Shoaf works as the dean of the academic library at Queens University in Charlotte. He was using his collection of Thompson material to compile a complete HST bibliography, which he published last summer under the title Gonzology. Shoaf knew all about the Grateful Dead archive.

“To have as wide a cultural impact as possible,” he told me by phone from North Carolina, “you certainly want to find a place where it’s going to attract scholars, but also be complementary to collections that already exist. I was homing in on Santa Cruz because they had this Grateful Dead archive, which is an amazing archive. So I was attracted by that to the institution. And once I got acquainted with some of the people there, I knew it would be really good home for it.”

The collection includes mostly printed material—first editions, uncorrected proofs, broadside posters, and even pirated copies of much of Thompson’s best-known works. There’s a high-school literary magazine in which an

unknown Thompson is listed as “art editor,” a beer bottle on which is printed an original HST story, and a fine-press edition of a printed eulogy Thompson had written for psychedelic icon Timothy Leary in 1996, tucked inside of which is a perforated, postcard-sized sheet of (we assume fake) blotter acid.

What does the university plan to do with all this Gonzo swag?

Exhibits and displays will have to wait until a full cataloguing of the material is done, which could take a few months. But even without a full online accounting, the Thompson collection is now available for public perusal at Special Collections. There is a registration process, says Mora, and nothing is allowed to leave the reading room. But the materials are accessible to anyone, even those not affiliated with UCSC. “If someone does come in,” she says, “we’ll be able to pull out certain things we know will be evocative for (Thompson fans), like the first edition of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.”

As cultural forces, the Dead and Thompson are yin-andyang complements of roughly equal influence. Both arose from the seedbed of ’60s West Coast counterculture. The Dead’s signature line—“What a long, strange trip it’s been”—sounds like a Thompson line and works well as an epitaph for his career. The famous opening line of Fear and Loathing—“We were somewhere on the edge of Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold”—could have been drawn from a Dead caravan, if you didn’t know better.

There are millions of people who are ardent fans of both.

But the differences are worth pondering as well. Thompson was the reckless cynic, eager to eviscerate the rich and powerful and peel away the veneer of phony objectivity from mainstream journalism. The Dead, by contrast, weren’t too concerned with any of that. They were about creating a Dionysian sense of play and an almost-Buddhist awareness of the here and now.

CRITICAL DRINKING It's surprising that there is a lot of alcohol-related Thompson

memoribilia, said no one ever. PHOTO: MIRANDA POWELL

<23 Individually, the Dead and HST presented the two faces by which the counterculture liked to think of itself: the guerrilla truth-teller and the dancing mystic. Taken together, their respective legacies are two steady poles on which to build a monument to the cultural ferment of the 1960s.

And UC Santa Cruz is as good a place as any for such a monument.

“Santa Cruz has its own reputation,” says Mora. “I think the university has a history that is very conducive to this kind of collection. It’s not coming out of the blue. It’s not like the Dead came here and now, all of a sudden we

were counterculture. The Dead came here because of what UCSC already symbolized.”

Special Collections has other material that sheds light on the counterculture, from original art

by Beat poet Kenneth Patchen to photographs of the Black Panther movement and Haight-Ashbury

by Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch. Mora does not shy away from the notion that the Thompson collection could make UCSC the go-to site for the legacy of the ’60s.

“We look deeply into our collection,” she says, “and we realize the overlap is everywhere.”

GONZO BUT NOT FORGOTTEN The university, she’s quick to add, is part of that history: “The campus itself was a grand experiment when it was founded in 1965. It all blends in really well together.” Special Collections is not explicitly an archive of any one cultural period but, says Mora, “Counterculture is definitely the thing we’re on the map for, at this point. We are totally being branded.”

In the late afternoon of Feb. 20, 2005, Hunter S. Thompson died after shooting himself at his home in Woody Creek, Colorado. He was 67. His final written words were in a note he titled “Football Season is Over,” the last line of which was, “Relax—This won’t hurt.” Santa Cruz writer and editor Susie Bright was a friend of Thompson. In an obituary, she wrote that he did not act from despair or surrender, but instead from “self-deliverance.” “I’m so proud of Hunter for dying the way he wanted to,” she wrote.

Over the course of the next several months, a giant cannon—taller by a few feet than the Statue of Liberty, and paid for by actor Johnny Depp— was built in Thompson’s honor at his home. On the six-month anniversary of his death, the writer’s ashes were shot into the air and exploded in a burst of fireworks.

Thompson’s suicide was especially poignant for Shoaf. “I was scheduled to go out there to Colorado and see him the winter he passed,” he says.

Shoaf had spoken on the phone to Thompson several times, but he never met him in person. A year after Thompson’s death, Shoaf was invited by his widow to visit Woody Creek to see Thompson’s library.

When Shoaf first made contact, Thompson instructed him to call at midnight, and keep calling until someone answered. “He’s on Mountain Time, and I’m on Eastern Time,” says Shoaf. “So his midnight is my 2 a.m., which meant essentially I had to get up in the middle of the night to call this guy.”

The first time the two men spoke, Thompson came on strong with the famous Gonzo persona, evoked so memorably by Depp in the film

version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and in the comic pages with Doonesbury’s Uncle Duke. “I think he was doing it to see what my reaction would be,” says Shoaf, “to test me a little bit. But he quickly fell right in and dropped the persona with me entirely. He managed to be quite cogent, really. I wasn’t talking to some drugged-up crazy man at all.

He was actually a pretty sharp guy.”

Thompson talked in “short, staccato bursts” and, because he insisted on using the speaker phone, he wasn’t always understandable.

“Typically, he would go on for about an hour and a half, and I’d look up and it’d be 3:30 in the morning, my time. And I was like, ‘Mr. Thompson, I really need to get off the phone.’”

Several years later, Shoaf struck up a correspondence with another figure from the bygone era of literary rock stars, Tom Wolfe. In this case, he did get to meet the man in person. The author of The Bonfire of the Vanities, who died in 2018, invited Shoaf to his home in New York City to take a look at the Wolfe archive.

There is a strong connection between Wolfe and Thompson.

Wolfe credits Thompson with supplying him with audiotapes from an infamous party at the ranch of writer Ken Kesey in San Mateo County, an account that formed the basis for Wolfe’s landmark 1968 book The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, which also featured an appearance by the Grateful Dead.

Acid Test chronicles a series of parties during which Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters experiment with LSD. The book not only jump-started Wolfe’s writing career, it established a brand of reportage called New Journalism, made Kesey into a counterculture icon, brought psychedelic drugs to mainstream attention and, in time, became a classic text of the counterculture.

And the first of those “acid tests” took place in ... Santa Cruz. Just something to keep in mind for any library professional or collector who might one day have pertinent materials in need of a permanent home.

A lot has changed since the league’s early days. When they first started, the games were quick and violent, partly because nobody knew what they were doing. “Part of the reason games were fast is because people didn’t have control,” Eymann says.

“They didn’t know how to stop very well.”

Lagoon for a few more hours of drinking and dancing. At least, for those still standing.

“Since it’s the last stop, we’re always excited to see who makes it to the end,” Hill says. “Whoever does always gets mad props. Hopefully I will.”

With 470 leagues in the international Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), SCDG are kicking off this season ranked No. 15 in the world (the kids’ team, the Santa Cruz Derby Groms, are the champs at No. 1 in their division).

If that’s not enough to rock the black and blue crew, Santa Cruz has the second-highest-ranking league in the state, right behind—*hard sigh*—Los Angeles.

“We’ve been here since before the Warriors, so if you think about it, we are Santa Cruz’s first sports team,” Hill says. “And we’ve been so lucky to have such a great fan base.”

Since the league’s founding in 2009, the Santa Cruz Derby Girls have been a nonprofit and give back to the community throughout their season. Each year they also pick one other local nonprofit program to promote and fundraise for. This year, they have decided on the Santa Cruz SPCA, continuing from last year, with proceeds from each bout going to the animal rescue organization. Adoptable dogs go to the games, too.

“We’ve built a positive culture around what we call our ‘happy little team,’” says Boardwalk Bombshells Captain Regan Eymann. “And of course roller derby is fun, but we’re in it to win.”

She’s quick to note that 2019 is the 11th season for SCDG, and a lot has changed since the league’s early days. When they first started, the games were quick and violent, partly because nobody knew what they were doing.

“Part of the reason games were fast is because people didn’t have control,” Eymann says. “They didn’t know how to stop very well.”

As time went on, athletes honed their skill and strategy. What they didn’t expect was the ticket sales slumps that came after the games began to get longer and more drawn out. But more recently, they think they’ve found the winning formula.

To kick the season up a notch further, every home game bout will be a double-header—twice the derby for one price. A March 16 opening game will feature one of the league’s B teams, the Seabright Sirens, against Sacramento’s Bruin Trouble, followed by something fresh for fans. By combining the A team, Boardwalk Bombshells and B team Harbor Hellcats, SCDG has created a 30-woman, All-Star team to face off head-to-head during the second game of opening day.

“You’re going to get to see the second-best roller derby team in California skate against each other,” Eymann says, clearly ecstatic about the prospect. “It’s going to be hardhitting, and a lot of fun.”

Santa Cruz Derby Girls will host their season-opening SCDG Pub Crawl beginning at 6 p.m. on March 16 at Abbott Square. santacruzderbygirls.org.

HEAVENLY POP HITTERS Led by Martin Phillipps (left), the Chills play the Catalyst on Tuesday, March 5. PHOTO: GABRIELLE DEVEREUX

The Deepest Chills

T

he rise of the #MeToo movement has brought the phrase “toxic masculinity” to the mainstream, but it’s something the Chills’ Martin Phillipps was challenging his audience to think about almost 30 years ago.

When the song “The Male Monster From the Id” came out on the Soft Bomb album in 1992, the Chills had fans worldwide for the first time, after the 1990 major-label debut Submarine Bells and its college-radio hit “Heavenly Pop Hit” had broken them out of the small—but now somewhat legendary—New Zealand indie scene of the 1980s. Phillipps used that platform to assert that

“Each man I’ve seen has some animal behavior in him/Some can conceal better the male monster from the id,” and encourage his male fans to take a hard look inward.

Unfortunately, a combination of record-industry support crumbling beneath his feet and Phillipps’ own struggle with depression and drug use led to an almost total breakdown of the Chills, with the band breaking up and then resurrecting in fits and starts—and not producing a proper album for almost 20 years, until 2015’s Silver Bullets. But it was a strong return, and last year’s Snow Bound was even better. Phillipps’ complex and layered songwriting has returned

to peak levels, and as the Chills land in the U.S. with a tour that comes to Santa Cruz on March 5, he finds a cultural landscape that is far more ready to explore some of the difficult issues it wasn’t altogether ready for three decades ago.

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot, because I think that’s true,” Phillipps tells me by phone from New York. “We seem to be saying the appropriate things for not just our own age group who are tackling some of these issues, but there’s sort of a new crowd coming up who are discovering us, too. It’s a very confusing time for a lot of people, and I think we seem to be tapping

For a look at “5 Essential Chills Songs,” go to goodtimes.sc. The Chills play at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. $18/$20. catalystclub.com.

One of alt-rock’s best songwriters returns after a neardeath experience and years of derailed dreams BY STEVE PALOPOLI

into that—a band with experience, that’s sort of on the right side in terms of being melodic rock music without being testosterone-fueled.”

Perhaps the reason that Phillipps has been able to bring brutal truths to his songs is that he always seems to start by owning up to his own frailties.

He did it on older songs like “Male Monster” (and the great line from the Submarine Bells album, “Familiarity breeds contempt…and I’m not exempt”), and has continued to do so on new ones like “Scarred,” the drug-addiction mea culpa “Time to Atone,” and the rational-thinker anthem “Bad Sugar.”

“Frankly, I think it reaches more people at a deeper level if they can see that you’re trying as well, and looking within. I found that finger-pointing is too simplistic,” says Phillipps.

The results are lyrics that sometimes seem almost too smart for rock music, but which are grounded in the alternately shimmering and jangly hooks of the Chills’ catchy rock.

“That’s what I love to hear in lyrics myself—but I don’t know, in some ways I’ve shot myself in the foot, so to speak, by making them too clever,” admits Phillipps. “Especially when I was young and being a bit pretentious in my songwriting. But it’s still more fun, and it makes performing them live a lot more interesting, too.”

This international tour is especially celebratory for Phillipps because it was only three years ago that the Chills comeback was almost cut grimly short when he was told he had only a year to live. He had contracted Hepatitis C in the 1990s as a result of his drug use, and doctors told him his liver was about to give out. However, a drug developed in his native New Zealand, Harvoni, turned his situation around. He is determined to make the most of it, bringing both the Chills’ new and classic songs to U.S. audiences who have never gotten to hear either live.

“In a strange way, I feel like we’re picking up and getting back to where we should have been,” says Phillipps.

“It’s kind of like a parallel universe sort of thing. It’s really odd.”

CLASSES

Some think of arts and physics as completely different—one is right-brained, one isn’t— not to mention that they’re vastly different subjects. But the R. Blitzer Gallery’s latest exhibit fuses local artists, UCSC physics faculty and graduate students, who worked together to create new art. The idea was to challenge physicists to approach their science through the visual arts and to integrate art and science such that they feed back and forth and enrich each other. The outcome of these collaborations will be displayed as a group exhibition.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND DAY TRIP

The members of local trio Day Trip really like plants. That’s pretty obvious if you’ve caught a glimpse of the band’s debut EP House Plant, which has surreal plant-themed artwork by P. Barnett on its cover. Oh yeah, and maybe you’ve seen a recent show where they filled the stage with plants, or heard stories about a plant named Paul they tried to save.

“We just really liked—and stuck with— the plant aesthetic,” says drummer Lauren DiQuattro. “A lot of our band art is plant-based.”

FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 5, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The album was named House Plant because of the group’s song of the same name, which bassist and vocalist Jillian “Bean” White wrote as they were grappling with identity and change.

40

“I wrote the bass part and lyrics in my room, surrounded by tons of my plants. I remember finding solace in thinking about how I’ve watched them grow and transform,” White says.

The song, like the rest of the band’s record, is a jangly indie-pop tune with strong interplay between the guitar and the bass, drums pushing it forward without overpowering the song. The bass and guitar riffs are at times in sync. Other times, they bounce conflicting ideas off one another.

“I think there’s a lot of emphasis on trying to make the most out of those three instruments that we have together. We don’t have the comfort of having another guitar,” says guitarist Franky Kohn.

9 p.m. Friday, March 1. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15.

TOMMY GUERRERO Maybe you know him from the skater film The Search for Animal Chin. Or maybe “Organism,” his funky boombap track on Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland soundtrack. But if you follow skateboarding, then you know Tommy Guerrero. A member of the original Bones Brigade, Guerrero has been a musician almost as long as he has a skater, casually dropping tropicalia-inflected skater gems like 2003’s Soul Food Taqueria over a two-decade career. This show promises to be a “very special debut performance” of his live band. Coming from Guerrero, that’s that an exciting prospect.

OM OM is the most sacred symbol, chant, mantra, and primordial sound in Hinduism. It represents the highest form of consciousness, the Atman.

So it was an appropriate name for Al

Cisneros when he formed a new side project with fellow Sleep bandmate and drummer Chris Hakius way back in 2003. Sixteen years later, Uncle Al is still delivering wholy meditative music with the current Om line-up of Emil Amos and Robert Lowe. Birthed in the heavy metal community, Om now instead caravans through the desert of world sounds, blending Middle Eastern and Asian melodies and often forgoing distorted guitars for tamburas and other delights.

Trinidad-born trumpeter Etienne Charles has distinguished himself with a celebratory sound drawing on his homeland’s music, a connection he expanded through research funded by a Guggenheim Fellowship.

He’s gathered various musical styles that manifest during Trinidad’s huge Carnival celebrations on his recent project Carnival: The Sound of a People.

He’s touring with an all-star band, including Haitian-American alto saxophonist Godwin Louis and pianist Sullivan Fortner. ANDREW GILBERT

Partner’s music will bend your mind between minimalist punk band, hyper-produced ’90s alt-rock, and the powerhouse edges of deep headbanging metal. The band sings about literally every aspect of their lives, like the kind of silly, but also very serious “Gross Secret.” (“If you only

THE GOSSAMER STRINGS

IN THE QUEUE

These days, ’80s nostalgia is as dated as the ’80s themselves. True nostalgics reach further back, before the ’60s nostalgia of Mad Men, and even before the Germanic ’30s and ’40s nostalgia of the Trump administration. True nostalgics reach all the way back into a nebulously gilded region of the past known as “old time.” With their gently twanging vocal harmonies, the Gossamer Strings are a duo who proudly proclaim themselves “old-time music,” a Coen Brothers-esque notion if there ever was one. Whatever you call it, they play beautifully together, crafting modern mountain tunes for the nostalgic in all of us. MH

Sam Amidon’s folk-based originals are damn pleasing to the ear. It could be because of his long career of diving deep into the well of American music. As a solid singer, banjo, fiddle, and guitar player, he has the know-how to take what is familiar and improvise the hell out of it, making music that sounds ageless and Avant-Garde. His songs end up not just mesmerizing, like transcendent incantations of the heart and soul, but invigorating. Even the most bored, heard-it-all music nerd would perk up at Amidon’s music, and maybe even listen to a whole album. For fun! AB

Cruz this week alone, but this is most certainly a show you won’t want to miss. We’re talking living legends here. The Wailing Souls are one of the few living groups that date back to 1960s Jamaica. They have many classics from the ’60s and ’70s, but also have had a vibrant career since.

Their songs on 1992’s Cool Running soundtrack are some of their most commercially successful, like “Shark Attack.” And they slap! AC

The Eli Young Band are misfits in the country world. That’s not because they’re playing anything that strays far from what most people think of when they imagine traditional country music. Quite the opposite, in fact. They’ve got the soulful twang, heartfelt lyrics and the American roots influences. It’s just that mainstream country has moved on to … uh, shall we say “pop” horizons. The Eli Young Band find themselves still able to produce albums with enough of a budget to make spine-tingling recordings, but without losing their soul in the process.

FILM

IT’S WHO YOU KNOW Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in writer-director Asghar Farhadi’s new film ‘Everybody Knows.’

FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 5, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Family reunion triggers suspense in Asghar Farhadi’s ‘Everybody Knows’ BY LISA JENSEN

M

adrid looks beautiful in the Spanish-language drama Everybody Knows.

Centuries-old, honeycolored stone buildings perch on ancient cobbled streets; private walled courtyards are shaded by leafy trees strung with dozens of lights; interiors are warm and rustic, painted in pale shades of terra cotta and celery. The vast, open fields outside of town are planted with juicy wine grapes. The movie is an immersive timeout in a warm climate that we could all use about now.

Maybe it’s the outsider’s perspective brought to the production by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi that makes the movie

so visually appealing, a sense of wonder as the layers of beauty in the locale keep unfolding. But the layers of plot within Everybody Knows so essential to the mystery—suspense, revelations, complex family histories—don’t always unfold quite as smoothly.

The nuance of family dynamics is sort of a specialty of Farhadi, as seen in his two previous Foreign Language Oscar-winning Iranian films, A Separation and The Salesman. Family secrets and hidden agendas abound in Everybody Knows, and while Fahardi handles them with his usual sensitivity, the movie never quite achieves the emotional epiphany we hope for. Stars Penelope Cruz and

Javier Bardem (even more expansive and full of gusto than usual) are worth watching in every frame they’re in, and the ensemble cast is excellent. But when all is finally revealed, there’s just not as much there, there as we might wish.

Directing from his own original script, Fahardi crafts a mysterysuspense drama that begins with a lighthearted family reunion in Madrid. Laura (Cruz), returning to her childhood home from Buenos Aires, where she has relocated with her Argentinean husband, arrives with her teenage daughter, Irene (Carla Campra), and young son.

Laura’s niece is getting married, and the old family compound—presided

over by Laura’s cranky, elderly father and her sister and brother-inlaw—is a hive of activity.

Among the friends, relations, neighbors, cleaning crews, and delivery people traipsing in and out of the place, Laura happily reunites with childhood friend Paco (Bardem), a genial winemaker who owns the vineyard a little way down the road, now married to the more reserved Bea (Bárbara Lennie). The wedding is a great success, as is the celebration that goes on all night in the family courtyard, despite a few cases of over-indulgence (Laura has to put Irene to bed upstairs) and a temporary power outage.

But the festivities come to an abrupt end when Laura discovers Irene is missing. Ransom notes via text soon follow, along with a dire warning not to involve the police, and the movie veers into suspense, with characters desperately trying to figure out how the girl was taken, by whom, and how best to get her safely back.

Fahardi handles the suspense element pretty well, finding subtle ways to imply that anyone within the family circle or its intimates might plausibly be in on the plot. But the wrap-up is more straightforward and less intriguing than we’ve been led to expect.

And there are complications along the way. After the family decides not to involve the police, a character pops up to provide them with detailed procedural instruction on dealing with the abductor, but we’re given no explanation of who he is. And with so many supporting characters drifting in and out of the household and the storyline, Fahardi doesn't do enough to differentiate between them. It’s often hard to keep track of who’s who and what their relationships are to each other.

Still, it’s interesting to see how Fahardi’s grasp of intricate human interaction translates to a more open, expressive culture. Everybody Knows teems with life lived in the moment, even if the destination is less compelling than the journey.

EVERYBODY KNOWS (TODOS LO SABEN) *** With Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Written and directed by Asghar Farhadi. A Focus Features release. Rated R. 133 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles.

FILM NEW RELEASES GRETA On the count of three, let’s both say the first two words that come to mind when you read the description “French piano teacher who loves tea and classical music.” One, two, three … homicidal maniac! I know, right?

So it’s hard to believe Chloë Grace Montez doesn’t see the Single White Female thing coming from a mile away when she returns a lost handbag to Isabelle Huppert’s Greta at the beginning of this movie, and discovers this freaky lady checks all those boxes. She doesn’t, though, and before you know it, Greta begins to act creepy and obsessive. Director Neil Jordan may be best known for The Crying Game, but he’s done some wild genre stuff in the past like The Company of Wolves and In Dreams (let’s not talk about Interview with the Vampire), so expect some surprises in this suspense thriller.

Co-starring Colm Feore and Stephen Rea. (R) 98 minutes. (SP)

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL James Cameron started developing this manga adaptation in 1999, but when it came down to actually making one of his two giantCGI-eyes projects in 2009, he chose Avatar instead. Director Robert Rodriguez rescued this from development hell, but what may have seemed edgy 20 years ago—a cyborg risking her life in a battle royale bloodsport designed to appease the post-apocalyptic

masses … wait, hold on. So this movie is basically Rollerball? No wonder Cameron didn’t want to make it—it’s already been made twice! And one time it was even good! Starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, and Mahershala Ali. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (SP)

filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, About Ellie) directed this film about a Spanish expat (Penelope Cruz) returning to her hometown near Madrid for her sister’s wedding.

When unexpected events unfold, will secrets be exposed? Oh, hell yeah! Co-starring Javier Bardem and Ricardo Darin. (R) 132 minutes. (SP)

ARCTIC Survival thriller has Mads Mikkelsen stranded in the Arctic Circle. He’s doomed! But then … he sees a rescue helicopter! He’s saved! But then … you realize this is still the beginning of the movie and there is no way this helicopter rescue is going to work out. He’s doomed! But then … Directed by Joe Penna. (PG-13) 98 minutes.

(SP)

THE FAVOURITE Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone and especially Olivia Colman as a cranky, insecure Queen Anne are all excellent as women jockeying for power in the man’s world of early 18th-century England. But the narrative often goes awry in Yorgos Lanthimos’ witches’ brew of sex, politics and intrigue—if not historically, in terms of its weirdly comic tone.

Lanthimos may be taking satirical aim at human folly—greed, ambition, depravity, especially among the oh-so-idle rich—but that’s a broad target. Too often, his contrived setups and deliberately provocative images don’t add up to anything. And as the fortunes of these women rise and fall, and viewer sympathies are meant to keep shifting, they remain little more than pawns in an exercise of mannered absurdity. (R) 131 minutes. (LJ)

COLD PURSUIT When I have to describe these revenge thrillers where some parent has to go after the criminals who wronged his or her family, I always say, “It’s like Taken, except with Jennifer Garner” or, “It’s like Taken, except with Mel Gibson.” So what am I supposed to say about this one, where Liam Neeson plays a snowplow driver who goes after the criminals who wronged his family? “It’s like Taken, except with … Liam Neeson?”

Maybe just, “It’s like Taken, except really stupid.” Directed by Hans Petter Moland. Co-starring Emmy Rossum and Laura Dern. (R) 118 minutes. (SP) COLD WAR Every shot is thrilling in Cold War, Pawel Pawlikowski’s follow up to Ida. This lean, fast film concerns the paradox of mid-20th century discontentment. Example: At great cost to yourself, you escape the workers’ paradise of the Soviet empire, an Eden where they tie your hands. You then arrive in capitalist heaven to face what Joni Mitchell termed “the crazy you get from too much choice.” Most of all, Cold War is a lustrous romance between a Michael Fassbinder-ish pianist, Wiktor, and the younger singer Zula, whose life is clouded by a crime she committed when she was a girl. Starring Joanna Kulig and Tomasz Kot. (R) 88 minutes. (RvB) EVERYBODY KNOWS Iranian

GREEN BOOK After earning a well-deserved Supporting Actor Oscar for Moonlight, the versatile Mahershala Ali tries something completely different in this serious-minded, yet entertaining view of racism in the American South, ca 1962, as experienced by a working-class white guy from Brooklyn hired to drive a cultured black pianist on a concert tour through the Deep South. Directed

by Peter Farrelly and based on a true story, its portrait of centuryold racist attitudes still so deeply ingrained in everyday life could be (and often is) chilling. But the movie succeeds on the chemistry between its excellent stars, Ali as the reserved, morally particular pianist, and Viggo Mortensen as his gregarious, tough-guy driver, forging a hard-won alliance against institutional racism and their own personal prejudices. Co-starring Linda Cardellini, Mike Hatton and

Sebastian Maniscalco. (PG-13) 130 minutes. (LJ) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD This is the third film in this series, people. If you haven’t learned how to train your dragon by now, you probably need to hire a professional. Directed by Dean DeBlois. Featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, and F. Murray Abraham.

(PG) 104 minutes. (SP) ISN’T IT ROMANTIC Rebel Wilson gets hit on the head and wakes up as the star of her own romantic comedy. Actually, a lot of wacky things happen to people in movies when they get hit on the head. But when I try it, I just black out and then wake up with a really bad headache. Maybe this wrench is too big. Or too small? I’ll keep experimenting. (PG-13) 88 minutes. (SP) THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART If you didn’t have very small children at the time, you were probably surprised at how much you were delighted by the first Lego Movie’s irresistible charm and wit. If you did have very small children, you were probably unsurprised at how much you were delighted by the first Lego Movie’s ability to hold your kid’s attention so you could close your goddamn eyes for one goddamn minute. Well, now the sequel is here to provide the same tender mercies for a new generation of new parents about to lose their shit. Everything is awesome! Directed by Mike Mitchell. Featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. (PG) 106 minutes. (SP) NEVER LOOK AWAY German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who took the film world by storm with his debut The Lives of Others, based this film on the life story of Gerhard Richter.

In an interesting twist, Richter himself despises it. (There is an exhaustive story about this saga in last month’s New Yorker.) Does that matter? Does it have any effect on the underlying true-orfalse qualities of the film? It’s an

interesting question to consider as Donnersmarck tells the fictional (imagine lots of scare quotes and question marks all around that word) story of a post-World War II art student named Kurt Barnert, who falls in love with a fellow art student only to realize that her father was a Nazi. Starring Tom Schilling, Sebastian Koch and Paula Beer. (R) 188 minutes. (SP) SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Spider-Man, Spider-Man/Doing whatever several alternative universes full of Spider-Men can/Are there a lot?/Listen bub/Even Nicholas Cage/Voices one/Look out!/Here comes a new animated Spider-Man movie! Featuring the voices of Jake Johnson, Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Mahershala Ali. (PG) 117 minutes. (SP) STAN AND OLLIE Jon S. Baird’s biopic Stan and Ollie has a certain inflationary quality, regarding the appeal of a comedy team in their sunset years. But in lovingly recreating Laurel and Hardy’s mid-1950s tour of the UK, it’s a film with lots of charm. It doesn’t break new ground, but it has its stinging moments. When the two get into a fight about an old rift, this time Ollie’s slow burn is real, and so is Stan’s hesitant peacemaking.

John Paul Kelly’s lavish production design drips with nostalgia; it can be a tad too sweet and rich for the times, but it’s more evidence that this film was a labor of love.

Starring John C. Reilly, Steve Coogan and Shirley Henderson.

(PG) 97 minutes. (RvB) WHAT MEN WANT Yes, this is a remake of the Mel Gibson movie What Women Want from 19 years ago. Yes, they flipped the gender roles, so that this time Taraji P. Henson can hear men’s thoughts.

I think that’s great, as long as we don’t have to find out what Mel Gibson secretly wants, because I guarantee you it is terrifying.

Directed by Adam Shankman. Costarring Tracy Morgan, Aldis Hodge and Richard Roundtree. (R) 117 minutes. (SP)

Plate and Debate Climate change discussion: It’s what’s for dinner BY CHRISTINA WATERS

S

oif Restaurant & Wine Bar and UCSC’s Coastal Science and Policy Program will unveil a new dinner and discussion series, “Sustainable Coastal Communities: Challenges and Opportunities,” on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m.

“I am hoping to bring the challenges of climate change directly to our dinner plates,” says Soif owner Patrice Boyle, who began thinking about the possibilities when she first met Anne Kapuscinski, a former Dartmouth professor brought on to direct the new UCSC program.

Kapuscinski and Boyle, along with colleague Mark Carr, began brainstorming about a dinner program that would spotlight coastal ecosystems. “I am very excited about this series, and especially about the new Coastal Science and Policy Program at UCSC,” Boyle says.

“The basic format will be to have one of the scientists lay out the global issues and challenges.”

A selected supplier will also present specific strategies and solutions. “Our first partner will be the Ocean2Table founders, Charlie Lambert and Ian Cole,” Boyle reveals.

The March 26 debut dinner will focus on fisheries, with biologist John Field of UCSC's Southwest Fisheries Science Center on hand to lead the discussion along with the Ocean2Table team. “We're excited for the upcoming event,” the Ocean2Table entrepreneurs told me.

“It should be a great opportunity to showcase some of the catch coming into our local ports and explain what differentiates it from what is typically available in local markets.”

A local grower will be featured at the next dinner in June, and the third dinner in September will highlight

ranching. In December, the focus will turn to aquaculture, ideally showcasing Kapuscinski's closedsystem fish farm in progress at UCSC. At all of the events, Boyle says, “Our chef Tom McNary will create a menu representative of that evening’s theme highlighting local sustainable foods.”

At the inaugural dinner in March, the duo behind Ocean2Table plan to give a brief overview of how the current global seafood supply chain works, Cole says. A quick primer: most of the seafood consumed in the US is imported, and two species widely used in our kitchens are farmed salmon and farmed shrimp. “Most farmed fish has a bad rap—for good reasons,” Cole says. “They are fed a diet that contains antibiotics, as well as fishmeal produced from wild fish stocks.

The practice of catching wild fish to feed farmed fish is inefficient and unsustainable. Fish farming practices degrade wild habitat, and during storm events it is not uncommon for large numbers of farmed salmon to escape and breed with the wild population.”

He also revealed one variety of “rampant seafood fraud” that makes it difficult for consumers to make smart choices. “As much as 40 percent of the seafood in the U.S. is mislabelled,” Cole says. “The longer the supply chain, the more likely the fish you're eating is not what it claims to be.” Which is why Cole and his partner are building a “transparent and traceable” local fishery.

That's lots of food for thought at Soif's new dinner series, a delicious town/gown partnership bringing guests together to better understand the unique pressures on our coastal ecosystems. Boyle is once again setting the pace. “I am thrilled to bring together some of the top researchers and thought leaders from the UCSC team,” Boyle says.

“We'll see how this goes, but I would love to make it a permanent program and a regular public lecture series.”

Sustainable Coastal Communities dinners at Soif will cost $100 per person, plus $50 for wine pairings. To reserve your space for the Tuesday, March 26, dinner at 7:00 p.m., call Soif at 423-2020, soifwine.com. Details and dates for subsequent dinners highlighting farming, ranching and salmon to be announced soon.

WHERE YOU BUN Alderwood is making a statement

with its happy-hour burger. PHOTO: LIZ BIRNBAUM

Meat Cute Alderwood’s happy hour includes an affordable burger combo BY LILY STOICHEFF

A

texture of brioche-meets-Hawaiian sweet roll, is spread with housemade garlic jam, onion marmalade and bread and butter pickles. The burger is actually two thin patties of houseground, dry-aged beef that have been smashed on the grill in order to achieve crispy edges and a just-done center. Stacked between them are layers of gooey Gruyere cheese.

Flavors of caramelized onion, highquality beef and gruyere remind me of a bit of French onion soup. It’s decadent, but approachable. The size, which is slightly smaller than other restaurant burgers, means you can enjoy it without falling into a food coma afterword. The burger comes with an icy Miller High Life, served in the bottle.

“Our burger is a token of our hospitality. It signals that everyone is welcome to get a satisfying meal,” says Alderwood Chef Jeffrey Wall.

He says the beer pairing is a nod to workers in the service industry: “The combo of a High Life and a burger is specifically for industry professionals to be encouraged to come in.”

fter extensive renovations to the restaurant space in downtown Santa Cruz previously home to Eric’s Deli, Alderwood finally tore the butcher paper off the windows in December to reveal an elegantly re-envisioned space. Two months later, the flood of excited customers eager to experience the raw bar of fresh seafood and exquisite cuts of beef at the forefront of Alderwood’s menu has yet to abate.

While I have thoroughly enjoyed their 60-day, dry-aged ribeye on other occasions, such lavish dinners aren’t always my (or my wallet’s) jam. Thankfully, Alderwood has happy hour deals from 4-6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.-midnight every night, including an absolutely killer burger-and-beer combo for just $10.

In a world of “more is more,” Alderwood’s burger zigs where others have zagged, focusing on high-quality ingredients and thoughtful construction instead of being weighed down by a leaning tower of gimmicky toppings. The sesame bun, which has the springy

ings Mountain wine is not easy to find around these parts. Fortunately, VinoCruz in Soquel Village carries a selection of their wines—so I headed there on a rainy day to try some.

Known for producing lush Pinot Noir and Meritage, Kings Mountain Vineyards had me smitten with a 2008 Meritage from the Santa Cruz Mountains. At around $60, this elegant wine is a superb mélange of Cabernet Sauvignon (52 percent), Cabernet Franc (28 percent), Merlot (14 percent), Petit Verdot (5 percent), and a touch of Malbec (1 percent).

This deft blend comes together perfectly to create a bountiful balance of rich berries and red fruit with a gorgeous soft and smooth finish. Aging this Bordeaux-style blend in new French oak for 24 months gives it added depth and longevity.

Coming in at a relatively low alcohol level of 13.5 percent, it’s a delightful wine to enjoy anytime.

Kings Mountain belongs to the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, but this family-owned winery doesn’t have a tasting room, and their property is not open to the public. Their wines

are in great demand, however, and they can be found pouring at events around the Bay Area.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MARDI GRAS AND MERCURY RETRO

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A quiet, peaceful change comes into your life. You become sensitive, compassionate and sympathetic toward everyone, especially those in need. You’re drawn to things mystical, religious, spiritual, meditative, functioning behind the scenes, and the “why” isn’t apparent. You seek forgiveness while offering it. You allow no persecutions of any kingdom. Here your Aries comes forth.

You become practical in all ways, tending to daily necessities for self and others. You become the social worker for the world, using your gifts and capacities to create roles for others so they too can be of assistance and be of service. You make improvements wherever you go, tending to details, being scientific and concrete in your healing information. You drop all levels of criticism.

You understand forgiveness.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

All that you do, consider and ponder upon has to do with groups, friendships, organizations, and the forming of community that restores and reforms society. You know what’s coming. You are concerned with hosting new ideas, creating collective objectives, helping others realize hopes, wishes and dreams that sustain life on earth. There is a mantra that is useful to say: “Let reality govern my every thought, and truth be the master of my life.”

When observing you for a time, we sense a new level of dignity emanating from you. We also sense a new level of creative self-expression, which in time can lead the world in a new artform that restores the art of living to the world.

Sometimes, you focus on happiness, things that entertain and are playful with games, children and/or sports. You speculate on ways resources can be rightly used to create a new world, the new era. You meditate upon this daily.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You can use the mantra for Taurus, too, Gem. It’s very useful for the dissolution of illusions and glamours (distortions, miasmas, illusions)—not only the glamours of self, but when encountering the glamours of others.

Eliminating glamours helps us focus on accomplishing goals and achieving a successful public life. You have authoritative tasks to perform, and an influential position to fulfill for the saving of humanity. You might begin to prepare now.

Family continues to be your concern—creating, tending to, or writing about one. Your history is like a tree growing within you—its roots go deep, the trunk is your life force, and the leaves how you interact with the world. Realize how important parents were, whether they were good enough or not. All parents are “good enough” in terms of what we must learn (and realizing we choose them). A radical thought. Moodiness may assail you. Take shelter.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Feb. 27, 2019

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 The light of Pisces sun is providing you with aspirations and high ideals to learn something that develops a new level of consciousness leading to wisdom. Remember to never assume a position of knowing until it is experienced or its validity proven. You will expand your mind through travel, study, a philosophy, or encountering soil and the earth (gardening). Then you are to teach others. Be adventurous and experiential.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You search for your values. They have changed over the years. You explore the values of others, listening to their talk of sex, intimacy, money, death, regeneration.

You discover your ability to diagnose illness in friends, extending this ability to pets. You like to be the detective, and for a while read mysteries that provide courage through conflict. Be not jealous or combative. You will lose. Life in the shadows for a while is best.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You find yourself through relationship interactions— whether intimate, close friends, or who and what you identify with in the moment. You want to cooperate, seeking harmony within all situations so a sense of life in balance emerges. From personal to the political, from social justice to world peace, you travel the range of relationships within the world of humanity’s endeavors.

Do you remember the esoteric formula for peace?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’re interested new ways of communicating, expressing yourself and talking with family, friends, neighbors, and siblings. Most important will be things literary and artistic, either in books, attending museums, music fests, or simply reconsidering how to once again bring forth the arts. You love change now and are very adaptable. Realize that others around may not be. Restlessness can upset our organized and artistic apple cart. Draw your greenhouse.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 During this month, you will be asked to consider what you value. How well you value your abilities, talents, resources, work, friends, and possessions. You will realize you have vast resources, some of which you will want to give away. You will seek ways of making money and will find a state of reserved strength that sustains conservative-yet-liberal values. You will seek comfort and a new love to keep you warm.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 There’s a sense of well-being, exaltation and a radiant willingness in all that you do. You will initiate new ideas others will accept, reject and react to. This is good. Controversy is good, calling forth the harmony at the core of chaos and conflict. The heavenly lights in Pisces are creating a state of dignity, magnetism and confidence within. Handling all this with care is the sign of a Disciple. Tend with care to diet, sleep, rest, vitality, exercise, and health. Think green (plants, clothes, drinks, shoes, barley grass, etc.).

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 5, 2019

We are preparing this week in Pisces (last sign of the zodiac containing all the eleven previous signs) for the first Mercury retrograde of 2019 with Mardi Gras (festival), Ash Wednesday (ashes on the forehead) and Lent—40 days and nights of purification before Spring begins. It’s a busy week.

Friday, Venus enters Aquarius impressing us with the knowledge, science, art, astrology, and technology needed to create the new Aquarian Era, which includes the Aquarian laws and principles. Saturday, the moon joins Venus in this endeavor.

Tuesday is the beads and bacchanal festival of Mardi Gras. Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, when Lent (time of purification) begins. Pisces is a perfect time for this. After Pisces, we begin

a new year in Aries.

On Ash Wednesday in the Catholic Church, there is a special ritual of remembering. The priest places ashes (made from palms given out last Palm Sunday, gathered each year and burned) in the sign of the cross on the forehead of parishioners while saying the words, “From dust thou art (we were made of this), and unto dust thou shalt return.”

Our actions during Lent imitate retrograde Mars and Mercury (29 degrees Pisces).

We advance interiorly in quiet reflection, contemplation, study, and wisdom, which purify and enable us to participate more fully in the upcoming solar festivals, setting the template for the rest of our year, and leading to the Festival of the New Group of World Servers at winter solstice.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

There are plenty of leftover buyers out there who gave it their all in 2018. They deserve an A for effort, even if they weren’t quite able to make it over the hump to the promised land. Well-qualified folks who just couldn’t seem to outsmart a difficult market and find their way home.

It’s hard to live a normal life and look for a house at the same time. That’s particularly true in a market that demands such an exhausting state of readiness and preparation at the same time it parcels out only a few meager new listings at a time to choose from.

Buyers who have been slogging around in the trenches in search of inventory for the last six months know what that “always-on” feeling is like. The barrage of search engine emails that begins to look like spam rather than real opportunity. Hours spent parsing Sunday open house ads trying to figure out whether “charming” really means “fixer” or whether “cute” really means “tiny.” And whether they should drop everything, jump in the car and head out to the open house to see for themselves.

The rush of an unexpected For Sale sign popping up in the perfect neighborhood. The promising sneak peak of a new listing on Thursday’s Brokers Tour. The call from a sister-in-law that heard a rumor about a friend of a friend thinking about putting their house on the market.

God forbid you should take a vacation and miss that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could happen at any moment.

On again, off again. Hurry up and wait. All dressed up with no address to go to. Weeks and months of looking hard but finding nothing, until suddenly a house appears out of the blue.

It’s perfect…except for the fact that five other buyers with competing offers seem to have had the same revelation.

So many questions for all those would-be buyers lining up in the queue for this year. What are they waiting for, exactly? Is 2019 really going to be any different? Is that flood of new listings really on its way? Stay tuned, we’re going to find out when we hit real estate’s own version of March Madness in the next few weeks.

1. Compound Butter: Mince the parsley and shallot. Put the butter in a small bowl. Stir or mash with fork until smooth. Stir in the crumbled blue cheese, shallot and parsley until combined.

2. Flat Iron Steaks: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 2030 minutes before cooking.

3. Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat to get hot. Dry the steaks with a paper towel. Rub a little olive oil over all surfaces and season with salt. Top with coarsely ground peppercorns, pressing the pepper firmly into the meat. Add the bacon grease (or olive oil) to the hot pan and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the steaks and let cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on how thick the steaks are and how well you like yours cooked. For medium rare, remove the steaks from the heat at 135 degrees F, and for medium at 155 degrees F. 4. Remove the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil for 15 minutes. Don’t skip this step; it’s crucial for a juicy steak. Top with compound butter.

Occupation: High school English teacher Hobbies: Walking, hiking, cooking, baking, reading, traveling Who or what first got you shopping here?

My husband and I began shopping here after we moved to Seabright. I loved Shopper’s immediately because of the wooden floors and store size — packed with everything you need — and its many wonderful and hard-to-find specialty products.

With the full-service meat department and real butchers — they make their own cuts, offer helpful tips and affordable options— we became regulars right away.You rarely wait in lines as the checkers are fast but very friendly. My sons, Owen and Nate, have always enjoyed Shopper’s. Familyowned businesses can make a big difference.

How so? Shopper’s is responsive to what people want.They carry many local products which their signage indicates and customers find valuable. For small-food startups, Shopper’s might be the first outlet to retail their products.You see more organic produce at Shopper’s these days and often times priced the same as the conventional.

That’s so appreciated. I enjoy baking yeast and quick breads, also fruit pies. Shopper’s is the only market where I can find summer rhubarb and these obscure canned sour cherries from Oregon — great for pies.There are many benefits to local ownership, including Shopper’s hiring teens!

What do you like to cook? I make some Italian/Mediterranean dishes; also American with meat and potatoes but with variations. I follow many food blogs and try new recipes when there's time. Recently, I made a farro salad and a radish salad. Because of Shopper’s, I’m starting to use Vietnamese/Asian seasonings and their noodles for pho. My favorite Shopper’s meat is marinated lamb chops — so good! We also get their ribs, steaks, prime rib, hams, chicken, and various sausages.Also seafood. I recently bought a coulotte steak for my son.The butcher offered to butterfly it. It was awesome!
