OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Last year’s Santa Cruz Film Festival made me feel all the feels. Over the course of the Saturday night program at the Tannery, for instance, I got to see the fantastic Wax Trax music documentary Industrial Accident, and then after the Q&A I met one of my punk heroes, Jello Biafra, who was just hanging out, talking to the crowd as we filed out. My friend and I who went to high school in San Luis Obispo even got to ask him about the legendary riot during a Dead Kennedys show at the Vet’s Hall there. Then I met Bill McCarthy, the former lead singer of the Augustines whose early history in Santa Cruz is documented

BEDTIME FOR BONZO

4

Re: Nuz (GT, 9/25) (With no apologies to Ronald Reagan): Yes, the Bonzo, aka the Corridors Plan, was community-unfriendly and not ready for prime time. It was not going to produce the kind of affordable housing Santa Cruz needs, but rather would result in a give-away plan to marketrate housing developers. Face it Nuz, we need much more affordable housing than the Corridors Plan contemplated, a paltry 15% that would later be reduced to 10% from each project. That’s a mere 10-15 apartments out of every 100 built, pretty good math if you’re a developer. That still leaves us with 85-90% unaffordable units for tech workers from over-the-hill and second-home buyers, and also a helluva a lot more traffic, less water, and a significantly greater carbon footprint than before. Yes, the term affordable housing is the lynchpin in this ultimate Bonzo scheme. Moreover, another constituency, local business owners, were rather perturbed when they found out that a whole lot of on-street parking would be eliminated per the plan.

Bonzo was a years-old effort by a small group of people, but it was defeated by an electorate that put its foot down and said, “Uh, uh, talk to us first, let’s work

in the film Rise. I had written a story about Bill, who is pretty much the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, and he greeted me with the biggest hug ever.

He was so excited about the film and the festival and the night that he just had the place crackling with his energy.

More than a couple of film screenings, the whole night just felt like a huge community gathering, and that’s the best thing a film festival in Santa Cruz can be. So I’m really looking forward to the events this year—the festival runs Oct. 8-13, and I’m expecting another huge community gathering at the M.A.P.S. event in connection with the new documentary Dosed, which I wrote about this week. Wallace Baine wrote about another must-see film, General Magic, and we’ve got our top picks for the festival. Check them out, and I’ll see you there!

together.” Justin Cummings, Drew Glover, Sandy Brown, and Chris Krohn did not single-handedly “kill” the Corridors Plan, the voters did. Yes, the Corridors Plan would “transform Santa Cruz” into Silicon Beach and not into any community most residents envision. What also rankled both neighbors and affordable housing advocates were the recent city council decisions not to enforce the 15% affordable rule for rentals on two downtown Swenson projects: 94 units at 555 Pacific Avenue and 79 condo rentals at 1547 Pacific Avenue. At least there’s a handful of Housing Authority units at 555 Pacific, but zero affordability inside the 1547 rental project.

There is no housing crisis, but there is an affordable housing crisis. The Corridors plan was hotly debated and was only “tossed” after candidates campaigned for and against. In fact, most all candidates in 2018 said at the various candidate forums that they opposed the Corridors Plan as written.

The Corridors Plan was not only “unpopular,” it was a give-away, a bait and switch to those who advocate for affordable housing, and it did not include the residents who would ultimately have to shoulder more traffic, less water, and years of construction with no appreciable affordability forthcoming. But, there is hope. Part of the motion to put Bonzo to bed was directing our planning staff >8

POUNCE AT THIS CHANCE

SEE TO SHINING SEA

The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter recently took in 53 rabbits from a Boulder Creek petting zoo. A concerned citizen contacted the agency about the bunnies’ welfare. The owner agreed to surrender all the rabbits on his property, except for six that he wanted to keep in his petting zoo. The shelter agreed, so long as they all were spayed and neutered to prevent the problem getting out of hand again. Rabbit adoption fees are now on special for $25.

The city of Santa Cruz’s Environmental Compliance Program hosted the Pollution Prevention Awards last Thursday. It honored 19 food service facilities and nine vehicle service providers that have consistently received Clean Ocean Business awards for five years. Notable winners included Santa Cruz Auto Tech, Day’s Market, Jeffery's Restaurant, and Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 2 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In 1956, the U.S. federal government launched a program to build 40,000 miles of high-speed roads to connect all major American cities. It was completed 36 years later at a cost of $521 billion. In the coming months, I’d love to see you draw inspiration from that visionary scheme. According to my analysis, you will generate good fortune for yourself as you initiate a long-term plan to expand your world, create a more robust network, and enhance your ability to fulfill your life’s big goals.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Taurus-born Youtube blogger Hey Fran Hey has some good advice for her fellow Bulls, and I think it’ll be especially fresh and potent in the coming weeks. She says, “Replacing ‘Why is this happening to me?’ with ‘What is this trying to tell me?’ has been a game-changer for me.

The former creates a hamster wheel, where you’ll replay the story over and over again. Victimized. Stuck. The latter holds space for a resolution to appear.”

GEMINI May21–June20 “The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.” So declared French author Victor Hugo. I don’t share his view. In fact, I regard it as an insulting misapprehension. The truth is that the soul achieves flight through vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and non-rational hypotheses and wild hopes—and maybe also by a few illusions. I bring this to your attention because now is an excellent time to nurture your soul with vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and non-rational hypotheses and wild hopes.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 I know people of all genders who periodically unleash macho brags about how little sleep they need. If you’re normally like that, I urge you to rebel. The dilemmas and riddles you face right now are very solvable if and only if you get sufficient amounts of sleep and dreams. Do you need some nudges to do right by yourself? Neuroscientist Matthew Walker says that some of the greatest athletes understand that “sleep is the greatest legal enhancing performance drug.” Top tennis player Roger Federer sleeps 12 hours a day. During his heyday, world-class sprinter Usain Bolt slept 10 hours a night and napped during the day. Champion basketball player LeBron James devotes 12 hours a day to the rejuvenating sanctuary of sleep.

Actor and dancer Fred Astaire was a pioneer in bringing dance into films as a serious art form. He made 31 musical films during the 76 years he worked and was celebrated for his charisma, impeccable technique and innovative moves. At the height of his career, from 1933 to 1949, he teamed up with dancer Ginger Rogers in the creation of 10 popular movies. In those old-fashioned days, virtually all partner dancing featured a male doing the lead part as the female followed. One witty critic noted that although Astaire was a bigger star than Rogers, she “did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and while wearing high heels.”

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may soon be called on to carry out tasks that are metaphorically comparable to those performed by Rogers.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Your No. 1 therapy in the coming weeks? Watching animals. It would be the healthiest thing you could undertake: relax into a generously receptive mode as you simply observe creatures doing what they do. The best option would be to surrender to the pleasures of communing with both domesticated and wild critters. If you need a logical reason to engage in this curative and rejuvenating activity, I’ll give you one: It will soothe and strengthen your own animal intelligence, which would be a tonic gift for you to give yourself.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Every time my birthday season comes around, I set aside

an entire day to engage in a life review. It lasts for many hours. I begin by visualizing the recent events I’ve experienced, then luxuriously scroll in reverse through my entire past, as if watching a movie starring me. It’s not possible to remember every single scene and feeling, of course, so I allow my deep self to highlight the moments it regards as significant. Here’s another fun aspect of this ritual: I bestow a blessing on every memory that comes up, honoring it for what it taught me and how it helped me to become the person I am today. Dear Libra, now is an excellent time for you to experiment with a similar celebration.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “Depression is when you think there’s nothing to be done,” writes author Siri Hustvedt. “Fortunately I always think there’s something to be done.” I offer this hopeful attitude to you, Scorpio, trusting that it will cheer you up. I suspect that the riddles and mysteries you’re embedded in right now are so puzzling and complicated that you’re tempted to think that there’s nothing you can do to solve them or escape them. But I’m here to inform you that if that’s how you feel, it’s only temporary. Even more importantly, I’m here to inform you that there is indeed something you can do, and you are going to find out what that is sooner rather than later.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “How inconvenient to be made of desire,” writes Sagittarian author Larissa Pham. “Even now, want rises up in me like a hot oil. I want so much that it scares me.” I understand what she means, and I’m sure you do, too. There are indeed times when the inner fire that fuels you feels excessive and unwieldy and inopportune.

But I’m happy to report that your mood in the coming weeks is unlikely to fit that description. I’m guessing that the radiant pulse of your yearning will excite you and empower you. It’ll be brilliant and warm, not seething and distracting.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I envision the next 12 months as a time when you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live.

Your daily rhythm 12 months from now could be as much as 20% more gratifying and meaningful. It’s conceivable you will discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your long-term goals to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I predict you’ll welcome a certain novelty that resembles the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Modern literary critic William Boyd declared that Aquarian author Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was “the best short-story writer ever,” and “the first truly modern writer of fiction: secular, refusing to pass judgment, cognizant of the absurdities of our muddled, bizarre lives and the complex tragi-comedy that is the human condition.” Another contemporary critic, Harold Bloom, praised Chekhov’s plays, saying that he was “one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.” We might imagine, then, that in the course of his career, Chekhov was showered with accolades.

We’d be wrong about that, though. “If I had listened to the critics,” he testified, “I’d have died drunk in the gutter.” I hope that what I just said will serve as a pep talk for you as you explore and develop your own original notions in the coming weeks.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Pisces-born Dorothy Steel didn’t begin her career as a film actress until she was 91 years old. She had appeared in a couple of TV shows when she was 89, then got a small role in an obscure movie. At age 92, she became a celebrity when she played the role of a tribal elder in Black Panther, one of the highest-grossing films of all time. I propose that we make her one of your inspirational role models for both the coming weeks and the next 12 months. Why? Because I suspect you will be ripening fully into a role and a mission you were born to embody and express.

to sit down with neighbors, past planning commissioners, Save Santa Cruz, and the Branciforte Action Committee “to seek agreement on possible changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance that can achieve broad community support and that will allow the Council to achieve its objectives,” i.e. more affordable housing.

Housing and its related appendage, homelessness, are still my top priorities, sorry Nuz. I support building 100% affordable housing by HUD standards, at the three downtown sites the city currently owns: the old Thrift Center land on Front Street behind Chianti’s; the old Tampico’s

site on Pacific Avenue; and the NYAC building site between Front and Pacific next to Metro Center. I would prefer the city to stay on as owners of the housing, or at least share it with a nonprofit housing provider so that all units built would stay affordable in perpetuity. Together, this could be 300-500 units of housing for many downtown service workers, families, teachers, and some of the “low-tech” employees too. I believe this is the council that can get this done and I hope GT will support it.

Commission Granted Women’s rights commission calls for review of censure against councilmembers Glover and Krohn BY JACOB PIERCE

T

ension was high on the night of Wednesday, Sept.

25, at Santa Cruz City Hall.

It was one night after the City Council voted to table a formal reprimand against councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn.

Kevin Grossman, chair of the Commission for the Prevention of Violence against Women (CPVAW), said he was “absolutely livid” about the previous night’s meeting.

Grossman, the only man on the seven-member commission, added that he was “completely and utterly floored” by what he perceived to be victim blaming and shaming at the council meeting. Several of

his colleagues expressed similar sentiments.

On Tuesday, Sept. 24, the City Council considered the possibility of issuing a censure to councilmembers Glover and Krohn, who were investigated for misconduct allegations. Each councilman had one substantiated claim against him, per the findings of independent investigator Joe Rose, as well as several unsubstantiated ones. None of the claims were deemed to be unfounded, or false. Although all the complainants were made by women, the complaints did not establish proof of gender discrimination,

the Rose Report said. The mayor’s informal bullying complaint, which helped kick-start the process, was not substantiated. Later that night, the council was also scheduled to hear recommendations laid out in the report.

Moments before Mayor Martine Watkins opened the floor for public comment, Councilmember Sandy Brown made a motion to table the censure, with support from Vice Mayor Justin Cummings. Both voted in favor of tabling the matter, as did Krohn and Glover, earning a standing ovation from their supporters in the audience.

That opened discussion on >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 2-8, 2019

A world once comprised of baking-soda volcanoes and potato-powered light bulbs, the science fairs of today are filled with fierce innovation and competition.

They’re also—as 8th grader Rinoa Oliver learned through a recent math and science project—replete with privilege, now more so than ever.

The 13-year-old got the inspiration for her project at the awards ceremony for last year’s California state science fair, where she spotted a troubling trend. “I noticed a lot of the winning projects were from wealthier areas, such as Orange County, and I wanted to investigate further,” she says.

Rinoa started analyzing 29 years of California Science and Engineering Fair results, and found that students from wealthier areas are far more likely to produce winning projects than those from poorer regions. Plus, schools who’ve produced winners in the past are more likely to do so again.

Rinoa’s work is gaining serious recognition. She beat out thousands of applicants to earn a top-30 spot in this year’s Broadcom Masters national middle school STEM competition for projects in science, technology, engineering and math. Later this month, she’ll travel to Washington, D.C. with the other finalists to compete for over $100,000 in prizes, and the title of the top young STEM student in the country.

“I’m really happy. I think it’s such a good opportunity,” says Rinoa, and she’s excited to bring more attention to equity issues within STEM fairs. “I think it’s really important to study, because by knowing about these concerning trends, you can help address them.”

The Society for Science and the Public puts on the Broadcom competition each year. To Maya Ajmera, the society’s president and CEO, Rinoa’s findings are unsurprising. “I think she’s spot-on with her results. I mean, I think her mathematical modeling is really terrific, but >14

the next item, the Rose Report’s recommendations.

Many of the comments from the public, though, focused more on the item that had been tabled.

During the council meeting’s public comment, City Analyst Susie O’Hara went public as one of the complainants in the report. One of three city employees to speak up, O’Hara was surrounded by her husband, who also spoke, and the couple’s three kids. Her allegations, which weren’t confirmed in the Rose Report, went back to Glover’s time on the CPVAW, a body that O’Hara helps oversee.

At the council meeting, CPVAW

commissioners also gave a presentation in support of the complainants who’d come forward.

Many women who spoke felt disappointed by the censure’s tabling.

Cummings and Brown both insisted they meant no disrespect, but rather that they wanted to prioritize moving forward with positive solutions.

Grossman tells GT he was upset that supporters of Glover and Krohn falsely claimed that none of the complaints were substantiated, and that all of the unsubstantiated claims were fabricated. One commenter called on the women to “man up,” while another said it was time for them to, “put your lady shoes on and toughen up.”

Glover nodded along as many of his supporters talked. Some commenters brushed off the complaints against Glover as proof of racism or evidence that the women who came forward don’t know how to deal with conflict. Glover, who is black, says he believes that “implicit bias” against people of color is a significant issue within city government. He says that he’s been calling for conflict resolution training for months, and that Rose was the third outside expert this year to do so.

But the following evening, the CPVAW voted to send a message to the City Council. The commission’s vote supported O’Hara, arguing that Glover had shown a pattern >14

What do kids’ soccer games, a bougie Westside winery and a Whole Foods parking lot have in common? They’re all contested ground in Santa Cruz’s increasingly vitriolic foray into recalling city councilmembers over a rabid aversion to homelessness.

With three weeks to go until an Oct. 22 deadline to submit several thousand petition signatures and kick off a recall election for Councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn, Santa Cruz United has ramped up both old-school door knocking and more unconventional outreach.

A Facebook offer for on-demand petition delivery by an “amazing surfer dude” named Jason, for instance, went over well with ladies quick to slide into the comments under a headshot of what appears to be an animate Ken Doll. More controversial for the recallers: setting up a table to stump for the cause at a kids’ soccer game.

“I’ll take my kids to a protest I believe in any day, but I’m not gonna take my kids’ whole

team,” one parent tells Nuz. Of mixing youth sports and divisive local politics, they add, “I personally feel like those things should be separate.”

Peter Cooke, a realtor and Santa Cruz United campaigner who ran the table at the Harvey West soccer fields last month, says “maybe three parents” objected to the sideline signature drive. It’s only unethical, he says, “if me being concerned about the wellbeing and safety of my kids is unethical,” since he opposes encampments that could impact the safety of his three young children.

More broadly, the campaign has revolved around using ever-harder-to-ignore encampments as a dog whistle to scare up support for the recall. One recent online post suggested that Glover is “OK with Main Beach becoming Ross Camp 2.0.”

Elsewhere in petty politics, a left-wing writer named Autumn Sun set off a social media frenzy by posting dozens of TMZ-style photos of polo-clad attendees (Is that you, Jason?) at a September

Santa Cruz United event at Stockwell Cellars. The event at the winery, which also hosted an anti-rent control campaign party last fall, was advertised with an incentive: “10 signatures and we’ll buy you a glass of wine!” Though the photos appeared to be taken from a public area, they incited allegations of “stalking” and measured exchanges, like “Karin, calm your tits.”

Day to day, Santa Cruz United volunteers like Carol Polhamus also say the campaign has gotten uglier.

The retired high school teacher, who joined the recall effort after organizing against RV parking that “trashed” the Westside, has been called “lots of expletives about being racist, facist,” she says.

“Truthfully that kind of stuff motivates me,” Polhamus adds. “It speaks to the level of dysfunction that’s in the atmosphere now.”

VOTING BLOCKS On Monday, Sept. 30, the city of Santa Cruz had a deadline to respond to a legal complaint under the California Voting

Rights Act. The notice of violation argued that local Latino voters hadn’t gotten proper representation on their City Council. It called on Santa Cruz to implement district elections, but the city hasn’t formally responded.

A lawsuit is not imminent, though, according to California Voting Rights Project President Lanny Ebanstein, who’s been involved in numerous complaints, including this one in Santa Cruz. He says his group won’t proceed with a lawsuit while the recall effort is underway. Out of dozens of California cities hit with this type of voting rights complaint over district elections, none have won in court. The vast majority haven’t bothered trying—opting instead to settle and pay a hefty fine to the firm that sent the complaint. Also, Ebanstein says, even if a city were to prevail in a suit, state law prevents it from recouping legal fees from the plaintiffs.

Sounds like a pretty sweet gig for the prosecuting team!

No wonder so many cities are getting sued.

WHAT EVERY PG&E CUSTOMER NEEDS TO KNOW Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS, is a safety program that proactively shuts off electric power lines when there is an elevated fire risk.

Do you have an emergency kit with nonperishable food, one gallon of water per person per day, medications, flashlights and batteries?

If you own a generator, is it safe to operate?

If power is temporarily turned off, customers should consider these questions:

Are your mobile phones fully charged? Do you have a portable back-up charger or a solar charger?

Do you know how to open your garage door manually?

Do you have a personal safety plan for all members of your family, including your pets?

Make sure we can reach you in the event of a PSPS. Please update your contact information at pge.com/mywildfirealerts.

NEWS COMMISSION GRANTED <12 of being disrespectful and abusive to her, going back to his time on the commission—something Glover denies, noting that Rose did not establish those findings.

The Rose Report did explore tension during Glover’s time on the commission, including Glover’s habit of telling his fellow commissioners that if they didn’t go along with his policy proposals, they apparently must not “care about preventing violence against women.”

The CPVAW’s motion on Wednesday night stressed the importance of believing victims and implored the City Council to bring the censure item back for a full hearing and a vote.

Councilmember Donna Meyers, who brought forward the original censure item, says she supports bringing back the item again. She isn’t sure she would have done so otherwise after last week’s meeting, which she viewed as dispiriting.

the outcome does not surprise me,” says Ajmera.

In an effort to combat these inequities, the society has implemented several programs aimed at supporting students living in “STEM deserts,” high-poverty areas where access to high-tech resources tend to be limited. This includes the Advocate Grant Program, which provides training and year-round support to mentors working with underserved students to encourage them to participate in STEM competitions.

Still, according to Rinoa’s research, the problem is only getting worse.

On the local level, disparities aren’t much better. Rinoa looked at schools in the 95060 zip code, which stretches from Bonny Doon through much of Santa Cruz.

Out of all the zip codes in the county, that area had the highest participation in the state science fair. Meanwhile, no school in Watsonville, which has a lower median income, had more than 15 projects entered.

“I’ve been really fortunate to have these opportunities, and I think it’s really sad that other people might not have them,” says

Rinoa, noting that both her elementary school and her current school, Georgiana Bruce Kirby Preparatory, are in the 95060 zip code.

At Kirby, students who participate in STEM fairs are provided with a “faculty sponsor to guide or scaffold their work toward an outcome that they agree upon together,” says Christy Hutton, head of the school. Tuition at Kirby costs around $30,000 per year, although about one-fifth of students receive some form of financial aid. Kirby students also receive in-school aid, including things like loaned technology, software and instruments, as well as oneon-one teacher support.

“A lot of attention is paid to ensuring that no student is barred from participation in any activity by their economic circumstance,” says Hutton, adding that tuition assistance is the second-largest item in Kirby’s budget after personnel costs.

Rinoa says she’d like to see the advantages she’s had at Kirby be shared among students of all economic backgrounds. Currently, the young scientist is working on doing just that.

Last month, Rinoa gave a presentation to the Santa Cruz County Office of Education about the local inequities she found through her project. Now, she’s working on a website to provide science fair resources and assistance to students across the country.

“Doing these projects has really showed me how much I’m interested in science and using it to help people,” says Rinoa.

Hutton says that the middle-schooler “has an exceptional way of seeing the world.”

“It's remarkable that a student of her age has the self-discipline and capacity for communication that it takes to bring her ideas to life,” she adds. “I feel very fortunate to have her in the Kirby community.”

Each of the 30 Broadcom Masters finalists has received a $500 dollar cash prize, and an all-expenses-paid trip to D.C. for the final competition. For the first time ever, 60% of this year’s finalists are female.

Rinoa says she’s excited to meet the other finalists and learn about their projects.

“It’s definitely inspiring to see other girls that are doing science,” she says.

After tabling the censure at last week’s meeting, the City Council voted on several conduct-related recommendations outlined by the investigative report and the Human Resources Department.

The council voted to appoint a new committee that will create a conduct policy for appointed and elected officials, and require councilmembers to attend a live training on sexual harassment and workplace conduct within the first 60 days of getting into office. The council will review the city’s policies on workplace conduct, harassment and retaliation and move forward with an $11,000 bid from the Conflict Resolution Center for training and mediation. On Glover’s recommendation, that could include options for “race, class, gender and power issues training, with an emphasis on implicit bias.” Glover also wants the city to approach the Santa Cruz Community Coalition to Overcome Racism about its services.

Brown and Glover additionally called for “accountability” to ensure that employees are using conflict resolution services before filing complaints.

Glover and Krohn supporters did take issue with other aspects of the council meeting.

Mayor Watkins had intended not to recognize Councilmember Brown when she attempted to force a vote to table the censure moments before public comment was about to begin.

Brown and Watkins appealed to Condotti, who shared that Brown was free to make her motion.

Later, Krohn said he felt hurt and “defamed” by a press release announcing the Rose Report’s release.

That prompted Councilmember Meyers to respond that she felt smeared by Facebook posts and comments from Glover implying that she was racist. Meyers slammed her hand down on the counter and yelled, “I’ve been an out lesbian for 34 years!” She started to walk away before sitting down again.

Glover responded to Meyers by saying that if he had acted that way in a council meeting, “the world would have ended.”

Meyers says she believes in conflict resolution. She has, however, taken some of Glover’s comments about institutional racism and bias, in the aftermath of her complaint, as jabs at her character.

“I don’t go around calling people homophobic,” she says.

Glover hopes the new services that the city is seeking will help councilmembers reinterpret casual remarks that may have been taken the wrong way. He sees Meyers’ outburst as a sign that the council has work to do in terms of understanding race relations.

“Now, does that mean Donna Meyers is racist?” Glover asks. “I can’t say that. I don’t know Donna Meyers. But the reaction should be very concerning to a lot of people.”

Organization Profile:

Health Projects Center

OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Caring for an elderly loved one can be challenging. Luckily, the Health Projects Center is here to help. The local non-profit specializes in providing free or low-cost services aimed at supporting caregivers and helping elderly folks get the inhome assistance they need.

18

“A society is only as good as it treats its most vulnerable.” says John Beleutz, the executive director for the Health Projects Center. “When people are in crisis or don’t know where to look, we want to be that place they can go. That’s really what motivates me.”

Through its Multipurpose Senior Services Program, the Center helps elderly adults coordinate things like meal delivery, transportation assistance, social work and nursing services, all free of

charge for qualified individuals.

“Giving access to everybody is what we’re all about,” says Beleutz, “We don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone.”

The goal of these programs is to help seniors maintain their independence at home, and prevent premature institutionalization. “Everyone has the right to live the way they want to live and where they want to live. Disability or health issues shouldn’t mean that you have to be institutionalized.”

Beleutz explains that 80 percent of long term care for elderly and disabled people is provided by family caregivers, and helping to support them is crucial to the Center’s mission.

“We’re there to help the person providing that care not feel isolated or get burnt out, but

also to see the positive in what they’re doing,” he says.

This means providing counseling services, care planning assistance, financial consultation, support groups, and even respite care. “We try to give people a break by providing respite care. We’ll help pay for someone to come in and care for their loved one so they go shopping or go have fun,” says Beleutz.

Beleutz is dedicated to helping the local community, so he says choosing to bank locally with the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union was an easy choice. “They take the time to understand our business and we can develop a local relationship, which gives us a better opportunity to have our needs met,” he says.

personal relationship is critical, because financing a non-profit can be tricky. Often, the Health Projects Center doesn’t secure its funding reimbursements until months after it provides its services. The Santa Cruz Community Credit Union provides the Center with a secure line of credit so Beleutz and his team can continue assisting the community while they’re waiting on funds. “They give us a line of credit to help us be able to provide our services and then get paid back later.” says Beleutz.

“They help us to finance the good work we do.”

SANTA CRUZ FILM FESTIVAL RECOVERY OPERATION

The subject of ‘Dosed,’ Adrianne, discovers psychedelic medicine in a desperate effort by her friends and family to provide successful treatment for her drug addiction.

Santa Cruz’s M.A.P.S. plays a key role in moving new psychedelic-medicine doc ‘Dosed’—and its SCFF event BY STEVE PALOPOLI

T

he new documentary Dosed, which comes to the Santa Cruz Film Festival on Oct. 13, is an intense and personal take on the rapidly expanding phenomenon of therapeutic psychedelics, which many people here are already aware of thanks to the pioneering work of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (M.A.P.S.) Indeed, M.A.P.S. plays a key role in the film, when

filmmakers Tyler Chandler and Nicholas Meyers stumble onto the Canadian branch of the organization while attempting to help their friend Adrianne, who is attempting to break free of a long struggle with heroin addiction.

But it’s what happens before the trio is introduced to M.A.P.S. that provides a wild introduction to Adrianne’s journey early in the film. After she confides to Chandler

that the soul-deadening cycle of addiction, rehab and relapse has left her with suicidal thoughts, Chandler mentions that he’s heard something about the success of psychedelic drugs in treating addiction. She wants to try it, and because clinical access to such therapy seems out of reach, they attempt a DIY version—with Adrianne taking psilocybin while Chandler and Meyers film the experience. Chandler, who directed and

Except that in this case, he already knew that hadn’t worked.

“It’s sad that that’s the process that people have to undertake when they’re curious about this medicine. They need to take matters into their own hands, because there’s not opportunities to get it in a safe setting,” Meyers says. “So what you see in the film is kind of a very gritty and real version of what a lot of people go through—and will go through until this is institutionalized, and there are opportunities for people to get the proper health care that they need through psychedelic healing.”

At the time, though, the filmmakers knew hardly anything about these issues, and though they did a lot of research and prep for Adrianne’s experience, didn’t know if it would do any good at all. They certainly didn’t know they were on their way to making a film about the healing power of psychedelics.

“It didn’t seem mainstream enough or in the news enough to give me and Nick confidence that it would work. We didn’t know that it can and will work,” says Chandler. “We thought, ‘Well, we might just film, and it won’t make any difference, and then we’ll just stop and try to help Adrienne in some other way.’ But it turned out that first dose of mushrooms she took really helped her with her suicidal thoughts and depression.”

Adrianne does later connect with M.A.P.S. Canada and other groups, and begin supervised treatment with not only psilocybin, but also other psychedelics like ibogaine. The Dosed filmmakers shot hundreds of hours of footage, including interviews with experts like M.A.P.S. Founder and Executive Director Rick Doblin.

“What you see in the film is kind of a very gritty and real version of what a lot of people go through—and will go through until this is institutionalized, and there are opportunities for people to get the proper health care that they need through psychedelic healing.”

doctors prescribing her various medications,” Chandler says. “So I had just heard about [psychedelic treatment], and it was sort of offhand, like ‘Have you ever tried this?’ And that kind of opened up Pandora’s Box.” Watching them jerry-rig this experiment based on guessing a dose—and without any expert guidance for Adrianne—is a bit harrowing. But that was kind of the point of including it, says co-producer Meyers, who also worked on everything from cinematography to editing for the documentary.

WATCH FOR ME. When driving, check for bicyclists at all times.

• Watch for them ahead, behind, and to the sides.

• Before making a turn, slow down and use your turn signal to alert cyclists as well as other road users.

• At intersections, look left, right, and left again.

• When merging into a bike lane, look over your right shoulder.

• Sometimes bicyclists approach faster than expected.

• Only make a right turn at an intersection or driveway when no cyclists are passing or crossing.

• And always check before opening your car door; many cyclists have been fatally hit in this way.

Be aware of people on bikes.

It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

“He’s a cool, cool guy, super chill,” says Chandler. “And he’s very, very busy. We feel fortunate that we got him in the film.”

Like most stories of addiction, Adrianne’s path in Dosed is not a straight line from addiction to recovery—far from it. The filmmakers found it tricky sometimes to navigate when to film and when not to, especially during a nearly catastrophic development that comes well into the documentary.

“By the time we got to that, we thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel. And then there’s this huge snag, and obviously we were concerned for her, and we offered to stop filming, if that was necessary,” says Chandler. “We actually offered that several times.”

“And there were times we got taken up on that offer,” says Meyers.

“Yeah,” says Chandler. “Because filming people in this particular situation is actually not helpful at all for someone’s healing and recovery.

We balanced it the best we could.

Mark [Haden of M.A.P.S. Canada] and the whole team at Ibogasoul were very accommodating, but there were some days that they were like,

‘Guys, we need to spend some time with her. No film today.’”

But the end result is a documentary that approaches the question of psychedelic healing from an angle unlike that of any previous film. At the SCFF screening of Dosed on Sunday, Oct. 13, there will be a Q&A with the filmmakers and representatives from M.A.P.S. Dosed has been at five festivals so far, and won two awards.

And Chandler and Meyers have heard from many people who saw the film—or even just the trailer for the film—and thanked them for giving them their first introduction to psychedelic healing. For the filmmakers, too, making Dosed has been a revelation.

“We didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into,” says Chandler. “We didn’t know that this whole world of plant medicine and using psychedelics in a therapeutic context existed. It exists quite strongly all around the world. You see it in a different light, you shake off the stigma of the failed war on drugs, and all of that. And looking back, everything that was set in motion saved Adrianne from certain doom. Because there’s no other way off of these opioids, really.

Doctors are trying to prescribe more methadone, and that’s causing many bad side effects. In most cases, people are using on top, and that’s what Adrianne was doing—she was really playing a dangerous game with fentanyl and sketchy street drugs.”

“The frustrating thing about the medical system is that there are many different options that are available in the world to help people who are suffering from mental illness or addiction,” says Meyers.

“And currently only some of them are being offered. If somebody is suffering from depression, does it make sense to right off the bat start them on something that is known to be difficult to get off of?”

n 1989, the World Wide Web was just struggling to be born, and the mobile connectivity that has remade the world’s economies and transformed human culture didn’t yet exist.

But what did exist was Marc Porat’s large red sketchbook.

Porat is the central protagonist in the engrossing new documentary General Magic, which plays at the Santa Cruz Film Festival on Friday,

Oct. 11. In ’89, Porat was a young, Stanford-educated technologist and aspiring Silicon Valley visionary working at Apple.

In the film, Porat drags out his battered 30-year-old notebook.

It’s what inside that notebook that gives the viewer a jolt, the shock of recognition in something relatively ancient, like seeing someone playing basketball in Egyptian hieroglyphics.

SANTA CRUZ FILM FESTIVAL The Success of Failure

“When I first heard about it, without even seeing the device itself, only the drawings of Marc’s concepts, this idea that you could fit in all of the functionality that an iPhone can do now into a device made for market in 1992 or ’93, that sounded to me insane. And that they were doing it with 1MB of RAM and 1MB of memory.” -MATT MAUDE <24

everyone would today recognize as a smartphone; it’s a sleek, pocketsized device on which there are small icons representing apps for news, weather, maps, and shopping—a full 18 years before Steve Jobs stood on a stage and introduced the iPhone to the world.

“There comes a moment,” says Porat in the film, “when, for some reason, you’re in the future and you see something very very clearly.

That’s what happened to me.”

General Magic, one of the highlights of this year’s SCFF, is the story of the Silicon Valley startup of the same name that had the right vision in the right place, but at the wrong time.

In 1990, Porat spun off from Apple and founded General Magic with the idea to produce his revolutionary device, which he originally called the Pocket Crystal. To do so, he enlisted a kind of technological dream team, which included Macintosh pioneer Andy Hertzfeld, legendary Apple engineer Bill Atkinson, programmer Megan Smith (who would later become the Obama administration’s chief technology officer), and many more.

The company failed. The Pocket Crystal morphed into the Magic Link, which was released in 1994, sold poorly, and quickly sank in the marketplace without a trace.

The documentary makes the case that the vision was simply way out in front of the technology at the

time. But the spectacular failure of General Magic laid the groundwork of the wireless world of today.

Though legendary in the office parks of Silicon Valley, the story of General Magic remains largely unknown to the wider public, even among the tech-savvy. Matt Maude, the film’s co-director with Sarah Kerruish, says in a phone interview that he had never heard of General Magic before embarking on the film project.

“When I first heard about it,” says Maude, “without even seeing the device itself, only the drawings of Marc’s concepts, this idea that you could fit in all of the functionality that an iPhone can do now into a device made for market in 1992 or ’93, that sounded to me insane. And that they were doing it with 1MB of RAM and 1MB of memory. It’s the equivalent of thinking about the 76KB that were aboard the (Apollo 11) lunar module. It’s just beyond belief.”

The film may not have been possible if not for the General Magic’s own in-house footage, mostly shot by Santa Cruz-based filmmaker David Hoffman in the early ’90s at a time when exuberance and enthusiasm were still abundant in the company’s Mountain View offices.

“We got in contact with a lot of people who had worked at General Magic and said, ‘Could you send us any photographs from that time?’”

says Maude. “We were just amazed that people would send us ream after ream of photos. Every once in a while, we’d see someone else in a photo holding a camera and we’d get in contact with that person and ask for photos. And even, at one point, there was a guy in one of the photos holding a video camera. We found him, and he happened to have 300 hours of footage in a garage in Hawaii. That footage, combined with David’s, made the film.”

The old footage is balanced with present-day interviews with nearly all the central characters in the General Magic story. That includes former Apple CEO John Sculley, who emerges as the film’s primary black hat. Sculley—who had taken over Apple after the 1985 ouster of Steve Jobs—had encouraged Porat and supported the project until Apple released the Newton, its own handheld mobile device, which the staff at General Magic considered a betrayal.

“We wrote to John,” says Maude.

“We told him we were making a film about General Magic and we wanted him to be as candid as he could. He’s an antagonistic presence. People told us, ‘Why are you interviewing this guy?’ People think he’s an SOB across the entirety of Silicon Valley.

But if you’re willing to own your mistakes and speak about them with regret and compassion, that’s a good human quality. I hope he has his moment and that people see him as three-dimensional.”

But clearly the most sympathetic character remains Porat, the leader of the revolution that came too early.

In his 1990s public pronouncements about the General Magic vision, Porat exudes a Jobs-like aura of messianic confidence and computergeek excitement. If Silicon Valley was built on companies with heroic and charismatic CEOs, Porat filled the role. However, the present-day Porat, like a retired ballplayer who never got that elusive championship ring, projects a vulnerable whatmight-have-been wistfulness.

General Magic’s failure had many sources. The Magic Link device was a bigger and clunkier than Porat’s original vision. “It looks kind of like a Fisher-Price toy,” says Maude.

Also, the company developed alliances with Sony and AT&T in the early days of the internet, when online worlds were still being marketed as closed systems (think ’90s-era AOL). By the time the internet had been liberated from such proprietary models, General Magic was slow to pivot.

Silicon Valley has transformed the idea of business failure, removing the stigma and recasting it as a kind of necessary tonic for later success.

General Magic buys into that notion completely, even stating explicitly, “Failure isn’t the end. Failure is the beginning.”

Indeed from the ashes of General Magic rose the revolution that we are all living today. Tony Fadell, the inventor of the iPod and one of the pioneers of the iPhone, was a young General Magic go-getter and is interviewed in the film. Andy Rubin, who brought Android to the world, was also on staff. That’s 98% of the world’s cellphone market, spawned in one office.

Still, the film stresses, there was a price to pay. “It’s a strange kind of cliché that comes out of Silicon Valley, that failure is necessary,” says Maude. “But that kind of cutthroat business was not pleasant for anyone who experienced it. In fact, it’s really fucking painful for anybody who goes through it. If you’re going through it, where a company you’ve built or have been part of for years implodes, it’s devastating.”

When the film was finished, Maude and his collaborators invited more than 100 former General Magic staffers to a New York screening.

“The cathartic energy in that room was ridiculous,” he says. “For a lot of those people, it was a failure, a black mark on their CV. For them to be able to walk away from (the film) and be like, ‘You know, that wasn’t a bad part of my life because it led to me being who I am now, or helped me understand how to create products today, that’s special. That’s all part of the story, too.”

GENERAL MAGIC plays at the SCFF on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 2:30pm at the Del Mar. Encore screening: Friday, Oct. 11, 7pm, at the Colligan Theater.

here are plenty of other gems besides Dosed and General Magic at this year’s Santa Cruz Film Festival, which runs Oct. 8-13. But with more than 100 films to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start.

Here are five that shouldn’t be missed.

OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE TONY ALVA STORY The opening film of the festival, this documentary

30

traces the legacy of Tony Alva from his Dogtown and Z-Boys years at the center of the upstart skateboarding revolution to today—which sees him, at 61 years of age, the oldest pro skater ever. Tuesday, Oct. 8, 7:30pm, Del Mar Theatre.

Encore screening: Wednesday, Oct. 9, noon, Colligan Theater.

AMERICAN MIRROR: INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY This experimental documentary from Arthur Balder is in part a conversation between

Susan Sarandon and painter Tigran Tsitoghdzyan, as they discuss life, art and philosophy while he paints her portrait. Shot over three years, the film’s tone captures the mysterious quality of Tsitoghdzyan’s unbelievably photo-realistic and yet oddly surreal paintings. Saturday, Oct. 12, 4:45pm, Colligan Theater.

REBORN Considering that this year saw season three of Stranger Things, It: Chapter 2, and American Horror Story: 1984, ’80s retro seems to be bigger than ever in horror. Trending right along with it is Reborn, a Stephen King-type story about a girl who develops electrokinetic powers after being brought back to life as an infant. On her 16th birthday, she escapes her life in captivity to seek out her birth mother, leaving a trail of destruction. The era-appropriate cast

includes Barbara Crampton, whose scream queen reign in the ’80s was sealed

by Reanimator, Michael Pare and Rae Dawn Chong. Wednesday, Oct. 9, 9:15pm, Del Mar. Encore: Saturday, Oct. 12, 9:15pm.

MAN IN CAMO “Oh god, it’s so narcissistic! Who would make a film about themselves?” That’s the question asked—and answered!—in the trailer for Man in Camo. In fact, artist Ethan Minsker did make this film about himself; funny, weird and challenging, it reflects his outlaw mentality in every way. On the one hand about his own life and career, which started with making zines and films during the ’80s heyday of Washington D.C. punk rock, Man in Camo is also about the rebellious nature of art. Saturday, Oct. 12, 7pm, Colligan Theater.

RUTH WEISS: THE BEAT GODDESS This is the U.S. premiere of this documentary, which traces the life of 91-year-old Ruth Weiss, the German-born poet who escaped the Nazis with her family in World War II and eventually became part of the Beat scene. In the early ’50s, she and Jack Kerouac took up a “haiku dialogue,” in which they would write haiku back and forth to each other over bottles of wine. In 1959, she published her first book Gallery of Women, written in her jazz-inspired poetry style. She continues to write and perform poetry to this day, including at the San Francisco Beat Festival in 2016.

Saturday, Oct. 12, 2:30pm, Colligan Theater.

“You’re allowed to verbally punch anybody on the planet. I want to pick the people that need it.” -TODD GLASS <32 curse words and be egregious.”

The comics who Glass most admires share this outlook. They don’t throw barbs at overweight people or make fun of someone’s sexuality, for example, he says.

The idea of ticking off audience members doesn’t worry Glass much, however. He figures that that someone at a show is bound to find a couple of jokes offensive, although he won’t target just anyone. “Offend the right people,” he says.

The standard that Glass uses to figure out what material works— and what doesn’t—is to think about what types of jokes will age well, compared to the ones that might make him cringe if he were to watch the footage years later. For instance, if someone pulled up footage today of a stand-up routine from the 1990s and the comic was making crass gay marriage jokes, many viewers would find that difficult to take in. But if they were to see someone taking on anti-gay marriage activists head on, “that’ll weather better,” he explains.

“You’re allowed to verbally punch anybody on the planet,” Glass says. “I want to pick the people that need it.”

The sixth-annual, laugh-filled festival runs from Friday, Oct. 4 through Sunday, Oct. 6. It swings into full gear Saturday night at 8pm. That’s when comics, including headliners like Glass, will start pinballing across shows at various bars and impromptu comedy venues, most of them free. All 15 headliners will perform the “AllStar Show” at DNA’s Comedy Lab. At 10pm, Glass will perform his own late-night show at the Lab. Audiences may know Glass—who hosts a podcast called the Todd Glass Show and has a new Netflix special out—from his time on seasons two and three on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

They may also know him from what’s probably my all-time favorite clip of a comic shutting down a heckler.

In 2008, Glass was performing at

a club in Davis, where a woman in the room had been hassling comics and staffers all night. Before going onstage, Glass leaned forward to her, put a finger to his lips, and offered a quick “Shh” with a polite shrug to let her know it wasn’t a huge deal, he says. She responded by flipping him off.

Standing at the back of the room, Glass realized that the woman likely thought he was a waiter, which frustrated him. He felt her response likely said something about her attitude toward those in the service industry more broadly. Once Glass got onstage, he told the brief story— none of which the woman denied. He continued calling her out, even while she proceeded to climb onto the stage herself. “And don’t ever treat a waitress or a waiter or anybody in the service industry like that again!” he exclaimed, as security escorted her out.

In letting anger get the best of him, Glass did use a word that he now regrets to describe the woman, who he did not know. And he’s considered taking down the popular video because of a sexist undertone in many of its comments.

Other than that, he feels good about the onstage moment.

“I was angry about her disrespecting comedy, so go off on that,” Glass says. “Be as volatile as you want, but volatile to what she did that bothered you. That night, I remembered to do that, and I did not feel guilty putting my head in my pillow at night or driving home.”

The Santa Cruz Comedy Festival runs from Friday, Oct. 4-Sunday, Oct. 6.

Venues include DNA’s Comedy Lab, the Poet and the Patriot, the Food Lounge, Tabby Cat Café, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, Rosie McCann’s, 99 Bottles, Callahan’s, and Abbott Square. Shows range from free to $25 ($30 at the door). For more information, visit standupsantacruz.com.

Joys, pitfalls of marriage explored in Actors’ Theatre’s splendid ‘Company’ BY LISA JENSEN

36

T

he poster says it all. The new Actors’ Theatre production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Company is advertised with the symbol for wifi superimposed over an image of the New York City skyline, all under a lyric from the show: “You haven’t got one good reason to be alone.”

This adds an extra thematic dimension to Sondheim’s story of a 35-year-old bachelor harassed by his married friends to take the plunge into the joys of matrimony—and all the baggage that comes with it. Originally produced in 1970, the show is cleverly updated to the digital age by director Andrew Ceglio, who ponders the very notion of connection—like, with

another actual person—in this selfie era, when every private experience is recorded, Instagrammed and shared.

That’s the subtext, with characters whipping out their phones at every turn to snap pics of each other or play back their messages while life marches on around them. But Ceglio and his crew also score points the old-fashioned way in this splendid production, with a strong cast of singing actors and a minimalist, almost non-existent set (by MarNae Taylor) that gives them all plenty of room to move, sing and kick up their heels.

With a book by George Furth on which to hang Sondheim’s music and lyrics, the show begins with a

birthday party thrown for singleton Robert (Bobby Marchessault) by the five married couples who are his best friends. They all insist it’s high time for Robert to settle down and find a wife, despite the often-uncertain nature of marital bliss in their own lives. The story proceeds through a series of vignettes in which Robert hangs out with this or that couple, observing their relationships.

Easygoing Harry (David Jackson) has been on the wagon for a year, while his intense wife Sarah (Anya Ismail) denies herself forbidden foods—like the brownies she rhapsodizes over in such orgasmic detail. So they take out their frustrations on each other when a

playful karate demonstration turns combative. Much-married Joanne (a terrific Lori Rivera) drifts through their freeze-frame chokeholds and hammerlocks to sing the ironic ditty, “It’s The Little Things You Do Together.”

Robert smokes dope with David (Benjamin Canant) and Jenny (Eleanor Hunter), a self-described “square,” whose belated reaction to the drug leaves the men (and the audience) in hysterics. Peter (Alexander Garrett) and Susan (Melanie Olivia Camras) have secured a terrace apartment with a great view, but are contemplating divorce to simplify their lives.

Meanwhile, three women Robert is dating parade in and out of the action.

April (Sarah Kauffman Michael) is a “dumb” stewardess who shares the wistful “Barcelona” duet with Marchessault. Feisty Marta (Brittney Mignano, so good as Red in Into The Woods at Cabrillo Stage this summer) ably dispatches the fast-paced lyrics to “Another Hundred People.” Kathy (a poignant Lori Schulman) might be the one that got away. Together, they make a very funny, ’40s-style pop trio in “You Could Drive A Person Crazy.”

As bride-to-be Amy, getting spectacularly cold feet on the way to wedding her longtime sweetie Paul (Robert Gerbode), Melissa Harrison steals the show, tearing into Sondheim’s complicated comic tonguetwister, “(I Am Not) Getting Married Today,” with hilarious brio.

Marchessault provides a solid center as Robert, who may or may not be learning from his friends’ mistakes.

Rivera’s Joanne, who represents the “mature” viewpoint with third husband Larry (Michael Stark) in tow, delivers a thunderous rendition of the martini-soaked power ballad, “The Ladies Who Lunch.”

Ceglio’s choreography (including some chorus line razzle-dazzle), and Daniel Goldsmith’s musical direction (he also leads the four-piece band hidden upstage) are spot-on. Joyce Michaelson’s costumes accent each character’s distinct personality.

And does life imitate art? Look around at Intermission to see how many people in the audience are on their phones.

NAMIBIA: LAND OF THE CHEETAH

BIG TREES EXHIBITION Enjoy the history, in images, of Welch’s Big Trees, now the Redwood Loop Trail at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. See images of features no longer in the park and learn about others that have unusual stories to tell. Noon-4pm. San Lorenzo Valley Museum, 12547 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. slvmuseum.com. Free.

The cheetah is the most endangered cat in Africa. Due to loss of habitat, human-wildlife conflict and the illegal wildlife trade, there are now less than 8,000 left in the wild. Filmmaker Richard Weise traveled to Namibia, the cheetah capital of the world, to learn more about these big, fast kitties and make a movie about it. Following the screening, local cheetah expert Laurie Maker, founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund, will talk about her work to save cheetahs from extinction and participate in a Q&A.

HEALTH CLEAN AIR DAY Clean Air Day is Oct. 2. The city of Santa Cruz encourages its residents to pledge to clear the air at cleanairday.org. To celebrate, the city is promoting free METRO EcoPasses for downtown employees, its Idle-Free Campus partnership with city schools, and tree planting for carbon sequestration. Check out these efforts to improve air quality and reduce emissions at cityofsantacruz.com.

FOOD & WINE LEFT BANK BRUNCH The “Left Bank” title is a nod to the artistic and bohemian enclave in Paris, though we’re also on the left bank of the mighty San Lorenzo River and on the left coast of the continent. The brunch menu will retain a focus on California-French fare. In the afternoon hours, we’ll also be putting on a series of lectures and readings, all free and open to the public. The first run of lectures, in keeping with our theme, will focus on “The Adventure of French Philosophy.” Live music and vinyl spinning throughout the day. To paraphrase one of the founders of this great nation: boozy, decadent brunches are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. 11am.

LOCAL BAND ENEMY OF MY ENEMY

When vocalist Christa Bortolin first met up with Brian Ziel and Jason Graham to play music, she was under the impression that it would be old-school skate-punk. For one thing, the group’s resumé included several punk bands, like Fury 66. But at that first practice, she was surprised by all the slow, sludgy sections between the punk rock.

“It wasn’t skate-punk, but it was definitely something I could get down with,” Bortolin says.

OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

As a trio, Enemy of My Enemy developed a lot of new songs that actually resembled skate-punk—at least the energy and passion. The songs retained the intricate dynamics and subtly complex changes of those early jams, while becoming more aggressive and hooky. After adding bassist Nate Kotila, the band is now a four-piece.

50

“Once we all clicked musically, that’s where our songs really started to write themselves,” says Graham. “We started writing catchy songs that we could actually have more fun playing.”

The group released its debut EP Igniter in 2017. The record demonstrates an almost-relentless punk-rock energy, but manages to still leave space to breath.

The group is preparing to release a debut full-length in November, on which they continue to find creative ways to play punk.

“We’re not about playing hyperspeed, but we’re about playing with power and having a good time,” says Ziel.

TOO MANY ZOOZ

THURSDAY 10/3 CABARET

MARCHFOURTH Have you ever watched a band and wondered to yourself: Do they really need three guitarists? Isn’t two horns enough? Wait till you check out 20-piece group Marchfourth. The band has every instrument imaginable on stage, along with jugglers, stilt-dancers and acrobats, because why not. The group is somewhere between an avante-garde marching band and a performance art dance party. Oh, and the music is funky, jazzy, rocking, and takes elements of anything that will get you on your feet. Expect a lot of wild instrumentals and funked-up covers of popular songs. But that doesn’t matter; you’ll be staring at the jugglers the whole time. AC 8pm. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15 adv/$19 door. 704-7113.

FUNK

MIDTOWN SOCIAL There you are, at the bar, drink in hand. Suddenly, the drummer kicks out a heavy beat, quickly followed by mud-thumping bass licks. As your

head bounces to the groove, a light guitar riff mosquitos its way on top.

The singers drip their vocals into the track; the dance floor has a mind of its own. Bodies are sweating as much as that drink. You don’t have to step into a ’70s film to get this funky time.

Buy a ticket to Midtown Social, the septet funk and soul act that keeps the music clean and the people nasty.

MAT WEIR

9pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10 adv/$15 door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY, OCT 4 INDIE ROCK

FRUIT BATS Fruit Bats describes its vibe as “existential make-out music,” and surprisingly, that’s not a bad description. There is plenty of dread in the sultry falsettos; plenty of being-there in the intimate acoustics. And while the group has stuck closely to the folk-rock playbook in the past, on this year’s Gold Past Life, many songs have the gilded glow of classic AM pop. With its strutting sass and bouncy keys, there’s an almost-Bee-Gees quality to the title track, as frontman Eric D. Johnson sings: “You know you’re never gonna feel as right as in

your gold past life.” MIKE HUGUENOR 8pm. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $17 adv/$19 door. 704-7113.

COMEDY

IRENE TU Before you ask, no, Irene Tu is not a vegan—but she does get that question a lot. “I don’t know if that’s because I’m gay, or because I look frail,” Tu says. Born in the suburbs of Chicago, the comedienne is now based in SF, where she’s been recognized as one of 20 “women to watch,” and as one of the area’s best stand-up comedians.

Her set at DNA’s Lab opens the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, and is followed by a queer disco—both of which are vegan-friendly. MH 7 & 9:30pm. DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S River St., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door. 900-5123.

got a show for you. Felton’s Roaring Camp is bringing back its Brewgrass Festival with 10 live acts from the bluegrass and Americana scene, beer from a dozen local breweries and food trucks galore. The live acts include a performance by Tim Bluhm with the Coffis Brothers, Hackensaw Boys, Willy Tea, and a very special performance of the Moshe V Band, featuring his five-piece band. Word is, he’s turning 40 a few days prior, and he wants you to come party with him. AC

EXPERIMENTAL

TOO MANY ZOOZ Named (presumably) after the unfilmed sequel to the 2011 family dramedy We Bought a Zoo, NY’s Too Many Zooz play a style of music it calls “Brass House.” Consisting of drums, trumpet and bari sax, the Zooz might also be called “acoustic dance music”—get-down music for jazz heads, weirdos and sub-city flaneurs. After going bona fide viral on YouTube (“Too Many Zooz best performance good audio” now has 7 million views), they’ve brought the rhythm up from out of the subway

9pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18. 423-1338.

SUNDAY 10/6 AMERICANA

JIMBO MATHUS Jimbo Mathus knows what it’s like to be a one-hit wonder. His band Squirrel Nut Zippers hit it big in 1996 with the kitschy Dixieland jukebox number “Hell.” It all happened in the midst of a “swing revival,” which meant that it also died really fast.

But a closer look showed the group took influence from a broad range of styles, including blues, jazz and klezmer. Several years and hardships later, Mathus has carved out a successful career keeping his focus on American roots music, particularly blues and country. His latest album Incinerator is one of the strongest things he’s released, ever. Now he understands what it’s like to build a fanbase organically while toiling for years off everyone’s radar. AC 8pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. 479-1854.

INDIE

YOUNG CREATURES Young Creatures is part shoegaze, part bubblegum pop, part searchingyour-inner-soul indie rock, and 100% catchy. After starting up in 2012, this quartet solidified its current lineupand hasn’t looked back. In 2017, the group released its second album, The Future is Finally Now, a mellow trip that dives into the band’s sound, taking unexpected turns into dark corners while maintaining a light, ethereal sound. MW 8pm. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 429-6994.

MONDAY 10/7 JULIAN LAGE TRIO Child prodigies haven’t always fared well in jazz, but Julian Lage is one of the great exceptions. The Santa Rosa-raised guitarist was already a formidable musician before the age of 10, playing with remarkable poise and maturity. Performing with his latest trio, the 31-year-old guitarist is joined by Peruvian-born bassist Jorge Roeder and Bad Plus drummer Dave King. ANDREW GILBERT 7 and 9pm. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $36.25 adv/$42 door. 427-2227.

If you want to know what the new hot reggae acts are, you should see what Hawaiians are digging—because, man, they love their reggae. Particularly when it has that breezy, laid back R&B vibe. Orange County reggae quartet Common Kings learned this lesson some years back, when Hawaiian radio fell head over heels for their song “Alcohol.” Then, of course, the rest of the world figured out what Hawaii radio intrinsically understood about this group. Several releases and a Grammy nom for Best Reggae Album later, the time has never been better to discover your new favorite reggae band.

FILM

JUDY, JUDY, JUDY Renée Zellweger plays the legendary Judy Garland in Rupert Goold’s new biopic.

Rainbow Disconnect OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Garland and Zellweger survive bumpy biopic ‘Judy’ BY LISA JENSEN

56

J

udy Garland is a showbiz legend, with a legendary hard-luck showbiz life. Thrust into the limelight by a cold, pushy stage mother, she was fed uppers and downers as a teenage star in popular MGM movie musicals to keep to the strict production schedule, while largely forbidden to eat actual food so she wouldn’t look fat on screen. None of her five marriages worked out, and it was a constant financial struggle to provide for her three kids and keep the family together while battling addiction to pills and alcohol in her later years.

Nevertheless, she became one of the most beloved entertainers

of all time. The sensation of her big, pliant voice in her breakout role in The Wizard of Oz at age 16 insured her another two decades of movie stardom, plus an even more devoted following in concert venues worldwide.

Garland has been gone for 50 years, but despite everything she went through in her life, it seems like Hollywood is not done with her yet. The new movie Judy is both a cautionary tale about the price and pitfalls of stardom, and an attempt to celebrate Garland’s fighting spirit and magnetic hold on her audience. But while Renée Zellweger is often fascinating in the title role, the movie never soars above

conventional Hollywood biopic clichés (let alone over the rainbow), with a few extra-mawkish flourishes along the way.

Directed by Rupert Goold, Judy is scripted by Tom Edge from the stage play End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter. As that title suggests, the story follows Judy (Zellweger) in 1968, the last year of her life, eking out a living of sorts on the road with her two youngest children, Lorna (Bella Ramsey) and Joey (Lewin Lloyd), who both adore her.

But with her bills constantly in arrears, she’s convinced by her ex Sid Luft (Rufus Sewell) to accept a limited engagement at the swanky Talk Of the Town nightclub in

London—even though it means leaving her kids behind for a few weeks. Plagued by nerves and her various demons, Judy is a trial to her designated Brit handlers, Rosalyn (Jessie Buckley, seen earlier this year in Wild Rose) and Burt (Royce Pierreson), her pianist.

Until she gets onstage, when her professionalism and emotional vocals beguile the crowd.

Woven into this narrative are candy-colored flashbacks to the set of Oz, where looming studio boss L. B. Mayer (Richard Cordery) gives teenage Judy (Darci Shaw) a dire pep talk about stepping out of line, or her first PR date with buddy and co-star Mickey Rooney (Gus Barry).

Too much time is spent in these scenes laying blame for her lifetime of addiction and insecurities, and there’s no mention at all of the intervening 30 years when she carved out her own charismatic adult persona and career.

Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock), soon to be ex No. 5, is an L.A. party boy who briefly charms Judy with his big dreams. But when Judy spends an evening with a couple of gay admirers in London, bonding over their shared outsider status, it feels like Garland’s entire massive gay fan base has been checked off the list in this one (fictional) encounter. And buck up for the finale when Judy embarks on “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on her last night at the club, when it all becomes Just. Too. Much.

Zellweger does her own singing (a pretty nervy proposition right there), and while her game vocal impersonation doesn’t capture the expressive intensity of the real Garland, the movie depicts the twilight of Garland’s career, not her prime, so a little wobbly uncertainty in the delivery is OK. But Zellweger shines in Judy’s dramatic mannerisms, vibrant emotionalism, and sly, self-deprecating sense of humor. She deserves a movie as complicated as her performance.

JUDY ** 1/2 (out of four) Renée Zellweger, Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Royce Pierreson, Michael Gambon. Written by Tom Edge. Directed by Rupert Goold. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated PG-13. 118 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES

OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

JOKER The blowback over the violence in this movie (including from the families of the Aurora Dark Knight Rises shooting victims) has the director and star asking “Why so serious?” Critics see this sympathetic retelling of the Joker’s origin story, in which he is basically a crazy disaffected white guy who leads a bunch of other crazy disaffected white guys in getting their violent “revenge” on society, as—well, I probably don’t have to explain to you why this is the worst timing ever for this movie. For some reason, the people involved in the movie don’t get it, though, or are at least pretending not to. Director Todd Phillips wondered aloud why John Wick 3 didn’t get the same criticism (I’m assuming he didn’t see John Wick 3, a rather traditional action movie which toys with literally none of the hot-button issues that Joker does).

Meanwhile, star Joaquin Phoenix simply walked out of an interview where a question about these themes was raised. Whoa, you really showed people with reasonable questions where to stick it, Joaquin! This might be the best movie of the year, for all I know, but if you’re going to make a controversial movie that fetishizes a twisted psychology that has led to realworld tragedy, maybe have the basic decency and intelligence level to talk about it articulately? (R) 121 minutes.

(SP)

RAISE HELL: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MOLLY IVINS Back in the ’90s, I used to read Molly Ivins’ books and marvel at her sharp wit and blunt political commentary. Basically, every line was a keeper. How did she do it? All will be revealed in this documentary! Hopefully! Directed by Janice Engel. 93 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 groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING ABOMINABLE Since this movie

first went into development in 2010, there have been two other animated films about a yeti having whimsical adventures. I wish there was a word for that kind of terrible luck. It’s not just bad luck, it’s … it’s … nope, can’t think of one. Directed by Jill Culton. Featuring the voices of Chloe Bennet, Albert Tsai, Eddie Izzard, and Sarah Paulson. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) AD ASTRA Director James Grey tries out a Terence Malick style in Ad Astra to crack the enigmatic calm of a Neil Armstrong type.

Brad Pitt, bewitchingly cool and handsome in a space suit, plays near-future astronaut Major Roy McBryde. He is a famous man and a stranger to himself. In voice over, he muses about the lack of emotion that’s caused his wife (Liv Tyler) to leave him. Roy’s father Clifford (Tommy Lee Jones) was a renowned astronaut who abandoned his family on a mission. Pitt’s humanity keeps one hooked through this. The lost-father drama can be tedious in the deftest hands. But this time, the celestial backdrop adds some allegorical freshness to the subject of fathers so obsessed with their business, so closed off from their families, that they might as well be in ice-cold orbit around one of the outer planets. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (RvB) BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON Can a movie be a comedy and an inspirational drama and not suck?

That’s the question this new film from first-time writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo seeks to answer with a “yes.” Based on the real-life story of Colaizzo’s roommate Brittany O’Neill (whose photos are shown at the end), the film features Jillian Bell (getting her first starring role after impressing in Workaholics and Eastbound and Down) as a woman who takes up running to lose weight and ends up training for the New York City Marathon. Co-starring Michaela Watkins, Micah Stock and Alice Lee. (R) 104 minutes. (SP) DOWNTON ABBEY No one knows Downton Abbey better than Julian Fellowes, creator and scriptwriter for the insanely popular PBS television series—unless you count the untold gazillions of rabid fans who embraced

the show during its five years on the air. The faithful will adore every juicy frame of the Crawley family’s cinematic adventure, from the lavish 1927-era costumes to every pointed remark between beloved characters, upstairs and downstairs. Beneath the main plot about a visit from the King and Queen of England, subplots are devoted to catching up with as many familiar characters as possible—with just enough storyline skipping along the movie’s glittery surface to propel things to a satisfying and stylish conclusion. As usual, Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess, clan matriarch, is Fellowes’ secret weapon. She makes an elegant feast out of every caustic syllable he feeds her. (PG) 122 minutes.

(LJ) GOOD BOYS Little kids swearing— it never gets old, right? In fact, the makers of Superbad, Sausage Party and other raunchfests have apparently decided that the littler they are, the funnier it is. And so we have Good Boys, a comedy about 6th graders saying bad words, being wrong about sex, and unknowingly using sex toys. And you thought highconcept comedy was dead. Directed

by Gene Stupnitsky. Starring Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Will Forte. (R) 89 minutes. (SP) HUSTLERS Remember that New York magazine article about strippers embezzling money from their Wall Street patrons? No? Well, your failure to get around to that stack of magazines you said you were going to read back in 2015 apparently didn’t faze studio execs, because they made a movie about it. But don’t worry, they probably didn’t read it, either. Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria.

Starring Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez and Julia Stiles. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) IT: CHAPTER TWO It used to be that if there was particularly epic source material for something, people would say,“You could never fit that in a movie! It’s more like a TV show or a miniseries.” In fact, the first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1,138-page novel It was a 1990 TV miniseries that is mostly remembered now for Tim Curry playing Pennywise the Clown. It was shown over two nights, cost $12 million, and ran just over three hours,

not counting commercials. Times have changed: at 169 minutes, this second part of the $100-million-plus film adaptation alone nearly matches the running time of the entire miniseries (the first installment from 2017 ran a comparatively brisk 135 minutes). This adaptation is also packed with stars: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader headline the adult Loser’s Club, which battled the murderous Pennywise as children in the first movie. But does anyone else feel like Curry’s kooky, low-budget Pennywise is still better than Bill Skarsgard’s intense but somehow bland take?

Directed by Andy Muschietti. (R) 169 minutes. (SP) JUDY Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP) LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE In a hilariously stupid negative review of this documentary, the slobberingly conservative National Review tried to argue that considering Ronstadt’s career through a political lens is an egregious distortion of cultural history. Ultimately, the only thing they proved is that they know next to nothing about Ronstadt, whose political activism is legendary even in a music industry known for its earnest do-gooding. As always, you can count on this time-tested rule: if the National Review doesn’t like a movie, it’s great.

Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. (PG-13) 95 minutes. (SP) MILES DAVIS: BIRTH OF THE COOL The No. 1 complaint about this documentary from critics seems to be that it’s packed with interviews and there’s not enough time devoted to just hearing the music. Um, is it just me, or is that what the man’s actual records are for? The widespread lack of understanding about jazz history and form in its own native country (and I am definitely including myself here) suggests these people need to relax, sit back and try to learn something.

Directed by Stanley Nelson. 105 minutes. (SP) OFFICIAL SECRETS Gavin Hood’s tightly constructed and efficient suspense drama zeroes in on a few intrepid individuals facing tough moral choices as they uncover the campaign of misinformation and manipulation by the U.S. to try to legitimize its invasion

of Iraq in the wake of 9/11. Keira Knightly brings stoic determination as Katharine Gun, an unassuming translator with Britain’s informationgathering GCHQ, whose decision to leak a sensitive memo to the press to try to avert the war got her hauled up on charges of violating the Official Secrets Act. Ralph Fiennes and Matt Smith are terrific in supporting roles.

The movie almost makes one nostalgic for the Bush era, when the revelation of bald-faced lying and corruption still had the power to incite outrage and moral courage. Those were the days.

(R) 112 minutes. (LJ) ONCE UPON A TIME … IN HOLLYWOOD There was a lot of outrage when Quention Tarantino announced his next movie would include the story of the Manson murders. Apparently, people thought it might glorify Manson, a concern that the casting of beady-eyed Damon “Let Me Be Your Creepy Guy” Herriman in the role should have allayed. Also, this is the filmmaker who killed off Hitler and gave Southern slave owners their comeuppance—fulfilling revenge fantasies is kinda his thing. It’ll be interesting to see how he works this true-crime angle into a fictional story of over-the-hill TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in the fading days of 1960s Hollywood. Costarring Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell and Al Pacino. (R) 161 minutes. (SP) RAMBO: LAST BLOOD If you had to think of a name for a Rambo parody movie, wouldn’t Last Blood be pretty close to the top of the list?

Is there anything that represents the sheer bone-headed terribleness of this character and all the bloodsoaked, bullet-hell films Sylvester Stallone made after the original First Blood better than calling the last film in the series Last Blood? I’m almost disappointed that the tagline isn’t something equally making-youexpel-iced-tea-from-your-nostrils ridiculous, like “He’s good to the last drop.” In fact, the actual tagline is, “Everyone has one last fight left in them.” Uh, were they thinking of Stallone’s other franchise, the Rocky movies? Directed by Adrian Grunberg. (R) 89 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK whose incredible aroma perfumed the air at last week’s very hot Wednesday market. Squashes are abundant right now, along with nuts, honey, herbs, and figs. Those incredible dry-farmed tomatoes from Molino Creek and Happy Boy are still working their intense flavor magic. Pumpkins will be coming up soon. I discovered the Inzana Ranch stand loaded with nuts and all kinds of dried fruit from this historic 19th-century property near Modesto. I took home a bag of dried peaches, which turned out to be my new favorite snack—a chewy prelude to the dried persimmons my friend Beverly will be making in a few weeks.

I never leave the market without something from Companion Bakeshop, and last week it was a little sourdough ficelle for dinner and a few GF almond/anise biscotti for dessert. Flowerwise, there are dahlias the size of Archie’s head (you know, Prince Harry’s little boy), snapdragons and gorgeous mixed bouquets. I scored an armload of coral-hued bean flowers from Dirty Girl, unusual and beautiful.

There’s so much in the markets now beyond produce: tables of handmade clothing, pottery, honey, essential oils, and herbs, artisanal cheeses from Garden Variety Cheese.

High Harvest

PUMPED UP

Shopping the best of local farmers markets at peak fall season BY CHRISTINA WATERS

O

ctober brings bountiful harvests to our slice of the West Coast. The warm weather lingers into cool evenings, and organic growers keep bringing us rich flavors, colors and textures—from nuts and peppers to berries and squash.

Right now, our farmers markets are loaded with the best from apple and pear orchards. The variety of pome fruits has never been greater, and I scored some of the mighty

Mutsu apple last Wednesday from the legendary Prevedelli Farm orchards. This apple has got to be the greatest on the planet. It has everything: density of flavor, crispness of texture, tartness of finish, but with a sweet complexity that will stop you in your tracks.

Let me get specific. The Mutsu was born in Japan in 1948 as a cross between the Golden Delicious and the Newtown Pippin. This is an apple to taste the same way you would

a bottle of Le Cigare Volant—with care, focus and a spirit of inquiry.

You get my drift.

But meanwhile, back at the Downtown Farmers Market, it was pepper central as I checked out the neon orange, red and yellow array of peppers, from cayenne to sweet Italian to arbol to jalapeño. This is their moment. Lots of pole beans, especially my favorite Romano beans from Live Earth Farm. Ditto blackberries, even strawberries,

For Jack-o’-Lantern enthusiasts, there’s nothing like the Tuesday, Oct. 15, Pumpkin Decorating Bonanza up at the Felton Farmers Market.

Sit down with one of those bright orange pumpkins donated by Rodoni Farms and get craftsy with paint, buttons, googly eyes—whatever strikes your fancy.

This free pumpkin decorating event is total and complete fun for kids of any age, and a playful way to welcome the long shadows and burnished light of the fall season.

Felton Farmers Market Pumpkin Bonanza, 2:30-6:30pm on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Downtown Felton, 120 Russell Ave., just off Highway 9.

HELLO DAHLIA Open Farm Tours Founder Penny Ellis is excited to share her strawberry kabobs at this year’s event.

Open Farm Tours

For its sixth year, weekend event adds extra day, new farms BY JACOB PIERCE

T OCTOBER 2-8, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

he hours have been flying by for Open Farm Tours founder Penny Ellis.

She’s been working hard to make the sixth annual Farm Tour weekend a reality. This year, Ellis has added an extra day to the festivities, which run Saturday, Oct. 12, to Sunday, Oct. 13. Ellis has also added two new farms, bringing the total to 14 farms offering free tours.

62

Why did you expand the tours to two days?

PENNY ELLIS: There were so many people last year who said, ‘We wanted to visit more farms. We couldn’t visit all of them in one day, and we really wanted to stay over in Santa Cruz.’

I figured it would be really good for tourism to expand it to two days and give people more opportunity to visit more of the farms. And why not give it a try? On the other hand, it is more work, especially with the lunch— figuring out how much food for each day, where to keep it in between.

The lunch venue is Alladin Nursery.

Tell me about that part.

Fired Up Fresh will be there.

Linda Ortega, she has a woodburning pizza oven that she brings.

She’ll be using a lot of the farms’ ingredients. There’s a new vendor this year, Cuevas Express Food.

They’ll be making tamales and tacos, chile rellenos. They’ve got a really nice menu. Open Farm Tours has a buffet we’re doing this year.

We always have the Corralitos meat market sausages. They donate a bunch to our event every year. ... Beckmann’s Bakery’s going to be donating a bunch of pies for dessert. Marianne’s ice cream will donate a bunch of ice cream to go with the pies. We’re making strawberry kabobs.

Hold on. Strawberry kabobs?

It’s gonna be pound cake and strawberry on a stick, and then I’m making an orange icing to drizzle over it. It’s really good.

Open Farm Tours happen Saturday, Oct. 12, and Sunday, Oct. 13, from 10am-4pm. Lunch will run noon4pm both days at Alladin Nursery in Watsonville. openfarmtours.com.

ailing from England, I have been a longtime fan of the BBC. Bargetto Winery was being filmed recently by the renowned broadcasting corporation, and I went to watch the proceedings.

The crew was making a segment on Visit Santa Cruz County to include Bargetto Winery, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and other wellknown local establishments.

Featuring some of America’s most vibrant cities, the program is slated to be shown on TV throughout the month of October (details at visitsantacruz.org).

On another day, I sat down with John Bargetto to taste some of his fine wines—one of which was a splendid 2017 Pinot Grigio ($28), a hands-down winner. A complex wine with a beautiful, golden straw color, its flavors of lemon rind, lemongrass, orange rind, and juicy stone fruits leave lively citrus notes on the palate.

This rich, barrel-fermented wine is made from grapes harvested from lush vines in the Bargetto family’s Regan Estate Vineyards in Corralitos.

Attractively packaged with a redseal top and an eye-catching retro label, it would also make a great gift.

Bargetto Winery is a busy place holding fun events all the time.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES TIME OF RECONCILIATION— I AND THOU The 12 zodiac signs have a deep inner order characterized by inter-relationships, color, Rays, sounds, and rhythms. The sun crossing the equator at the spring and autumn equinoxes creates a division of the unity of the circle into two halves, which marks the beginning of the signs Aries and Libra. Thus, two poles are born, with Aries as the upper and Libra as the lower pole. Aries symbolizes the emergence of the first impulse of life, Libra represents the full blossoming of life in the world. During Libra, the beauty of nature is transparent and radiant, like the golden sun on a brilliant autumn day. The splendors of modern civilization, big cities, industries, and the finest luxuries of life are expressed through Libra.

Food and drink, luxury, fine things, jewels, style, and fashion are also all Libra signatures.

In Eastern wisdom, Aries is noon and Libra is midnight. Libra is the material pole of life, where the outer side predominates and spirit becomes condensed.

Humanity’s inner and outer-life separate and become estranged. We sometimes feel lost.

Libra has compassion for us, though. Libra seeks to bring equilibrium to our lives. “The path of tension is the path of striving, the path of life.” (Brotherhood #44, Agni Yoga). Libra (Ray 3) offers the Light of Intelligent Wisdom to our lives. Libra tells us, “Begin each day with intentions for Goodwill. Goodwill creates equilibrium.” Goodwill creates Right Human Relations creates the peace and harmony humanity seeks. Libra is a pendulum moving side to side.

Libra’s “pulsation” creates a restlessness in us, a search for our “other” half (I and Thou).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A potent time is upon all of us these days. Strong desires and powerful emotions can act like ocean swells, almost overcoming our ability to think. They give Aries, however, the courage to go where others won’t or can’t.

I think you are hiding one of your precious gifts. Tend to relationships, love and care of another. Something’s regenerating. Hopefully your relationships. Don’t be ruthless, and don’t seek to conquer. Work with.

You enjoy making, having and using money. It is a great gift for you. Allowing you to be creative, to travel, to share with others. Money is a resource, a way to help others. It provides freedom and choice. It can be used to create more wealth.

We are given the gift of money and resources so we can help rebuild the lives of humanity in need. Are you tithing 10% of your income to those in need? Tithing insures a constant flow. You’re also allowed to be frivolous sometimes.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You think about daily interactions and relationships within the context of industriousness, usefulness.

You encourage others in order to involve them in working with you. Careful with your energy each day.

You can overwork, become exhausted. You could create a separation through anger, reaction and harsh communication. It is good to listen, to hear deeply, to compromise, negotiate and to ask forgiveness.

Stamina and endurance seem to grow stronger each day. You find more challenges along your path, and you always you have the strength to rise up to meet them. Your self-identity expands as you pursue a deeply spiritual life. Be more cooperative in groups, offering yourself in service. Complete all projects. Plan your next ones. Your intuition rises, reaches out to others, touches them. Contact is made. It releases love.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You are hard at work thinking about how to be more creative. For a while now, strong emotions are pushing you. It’s important to practice extreme care and safety, especially while doing any physical labor, lest accidents, burns, rashes, things red and scratchy occur at home.

Be kind to those around you. A lot of fire things—ideas, anger maybe—may come your way. Things hot and dangerous. A bit like you’ve become. Interesting. Just listen.

Your brilliance and creativity may feel hidden for a month.

You may be very aware of this. They are regenerating, expanding. Desires may become secret, too. Sometimes you don’t know your motivation or reason for choosing something. Sometimes you feel life’s a series of intrigues.

Your past comes to forth, and you wonder who your adversaries and allies are. Have you studied the word “karma?” Spiritually, we return with our same groups to help each other. Everyone around is your spiritual group.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

64

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You need some pleasure to pursue, some love, romance, sports, both competitive and disciplined. However, most likely you focus on nurturing others, showering them with gifts. In turn, they may not act as you would expect. People’s energies are high, sometimes emotional and uncontrollable.

Watch over yourself carefully. Allow yourself to be foolhardy at times. And stroll through an art and sculpture garden.

You have hopes, wishes and dreams. You want to express yourself socially with friends (more than one) and associates. You want to be with people who recognize and applaud your gifts. You want to be with people who don’t think you’re scandalous or selfish when you make some artistic choice or move. You’re strong, most times revolutionary. Don’t change. Review goals, hopes, wishes, dreams. Do you need a new journal?

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

The themes seem to be communicating with family, parents, home, property, friends, and people in the neighborhood. There’s a balancing needed, concerning your perception of the past, and of family and/or parents.

With your deep ability to love from the heart, make peace with mother and the women in your life. Old anger doesn’t hold anything anymore. It actually weakens you.

The cosmic energies can be used to beautify, repair and organize. Everything around you seeks this.

You are the finder, the artist, the adventurer, traveler, and philosopher. Justice is a focus. You see where humanity is caught in the thralldom of wrong thinking. Aquarius is the sign of humanity. You are sensitive to humanity’s needs. Everyone is your friend. You benefit by moving about here and there, undergoing change, learning about humanitarian causes. You are a world server. Travelling to the future and back.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Pisces has a sense of divine discontent, seeking new ways of being, new endeavors, a new sense of selfconfidence to move forward. It’s important to follow your own intuitions, needs, hopes, wishes, desires and dreams. Pisces often serves others before serving themselves. You must now turn your energies inward, seek your own counsel, reliability, safety, and trust.

Entrusting yourself to yourself. You are your own resource. Know that the past will make a visit.

You’re thinking and talking a lot. Perhaps concerning assets and values. Thinking about how you are a resource for others? Try not to be argumentative. Allow a natural rhythm to occur with work, decisions, making arrangements and plans. Write letters by hand on real paper; use pen, ink, envelopes, stamps, and a secret seal. Have you begun to learn calligraphy yet? It is to be your own meditation.

Continuing the conversation…drilling down on the question lots of locals have been asking lately: Who is it that’s selling homes here and where are they going? And who is buying them and where are they coming from? First, let’s look at the seller side of the equation: If there is such a thing as an “average seller” these days, the description would go something like this: most are between 60 and 90 years old and qualify as either aging babyboomers or the aging parent(s) of aging babyboomers. They reflect a huge demographic shift that’s happening nationwide as more people are living longer and wrestling with questions they never had to consider before.

In order to sell a house, people also have to own one first. And in a place where the median price fluctuates just above or below the $900,000 mark, it’s not surprising that most sellers are folks who’ve been alive long enough to gather the resources necessary to afford one in the first place.

People don’t sell homes on a whim. The process is simply too hard and requires too much emotional energy to be a “sport”.

Homes are people’s biggest asset and the allimportant centering places for privacy, safety and comfort in their lives. Selling is almost never an end in itself. It is usually just one step in a much larger life transition sellers are going through.

These days, it’s not unusual to hear agents talk about the “Three Ds” as the driving forces behind the market. That’s real estate shorthand for Death, Divorce and Downsizing - things that definitely qualify as big life transitions, particularly for folks who find themselves heading into the last third of their lives.

I haven’t noticed an increase in divorce-driven home sales but then, people splitting up has always been a steady source of supply for the market. I also haven’t noticed fewer marriages ending recently. As far as death-driven sales?

Since more homeowners are living into their 80s and 90s, it stands to reason that a higher percentage of the homes selling are estate sales.

Downsizing is by far the most significant factor for the majority of sellers in Santa Cruz. And before I simplify it too much, it bears repeating that “downsizing” has become a cultural meme for lots of different considerations that people past the age of 60 have: empty nesting, health challenges, retirement planning, tax consequences, estate planning and the desire for less maintenance and fewer stairs (to name a few).

In other words, it’s complicated. That’s who is selling in Santa Cruz these days…next week we’ll talk about where they are going.

Testimonials:

Thank you Becky for making the sale of our home so easy. You were helping us before, during and after it was over. Your knowledge of the market gave us the confidence to be sure that our house was priced right, and would sell quickly. You took the time to explain the paperwork that goes with the process and made Marilyn and I comfortable with a lot of things that were new to us. I especially liked the fact that you kept track of how the house was showing and let us know what the people going though it liked and disliked. I tend to worry, but when we had questions you always called us back with answers. Thank you for the secure feeling that we had knowing that you were really looking out for us. It really was a pleasure having you work for us. Thanks Becky!

S HOPP ER’S SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Retired environmental planner; teacher’s aide Hobbies: Walking, swimming, bunco, book club, volunteering, cooking Who or what first got you shopping here? My husband and I had just moved to Santa Cruz from Santa Barbara.A couple invited us over, and I mentioned that I missed my hometown.The wife asked if I had been to Shopper’s — I hadn’t. She said she greatly valued Shopper’s saying it was unique to the area. My first impression of Shopper’s was ‘happiness.’ I found the manager and said, ‘This is the first place I’ve been to that makes me miss Santa Barbara less!’ Nowadays, I shop here three to four times a week and I treat it like my pantry. If I ever left Santa Cruz, I would have to take Shopper’s with me!

What do you like to cook? I love interpreting traditional Italian dishes into vegan dishes. My diet is 80 percent vegan but cook meat for my family. I guess I’m like a jazz player as I like to riff on whatever inspires. I may be impressed by an online recipe and I can come to Shopper’s and usually find all the ingredients.A favorite meat dish I make is Sicilian pot roast which I shred over pasta and top with gramalta. It’s yummy and kinda spicy.

When making vegan bolognese sauce, I’ll add porcini mushrooms lentils and walnuts. I’ve made vegan liver pâté for guests and they’ll ask how I make all these delicious foods. I say,‘Shopper’s… they have so many things that spark my creativity.’

You prefer shopping Shopper’s over the chains or big box stores? One hundred percent!

The big stores are overwhelming. Shopper’s scale works for me. I feel acknowledged by the butchers and checkers — everybody.There’s a personal touch and they don’t overdo it because they’re genuine. I see customers who look glad to be here; I think Shopper’s is a good part of their day. Shopper’s carries so many exciting specialty products and their produce is the best.They’re really good about curating it so you don’t have to pick through it. I’ve told people on strict budgets that if they shop here, they’ll waste less and be able to broaden their food selections without overspending.
