OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE After all these years, I seriously thought I had run something about every weird Santa Cruz spot.

But then one day, our writer Georgia Johnson asked me, “Have we ever written about the Court of Mysteries?” In fact, GT hadn’t written about the bizarre Santa Cruz property in more than a decade, and with new owners taking over who are embracing the place’s innate strangeness, it was a natural for our Halloween issue. We love Halloween, and it’s always a challenge to come up with something fresh and wild and at least a little spooky to write about.

It can’t be Santa Cruz ghost stories every year; in 2018, for instance, we did our first Halloween issue about aliens. So the minute it became clear this story was a go, I had it penciled in for this week.

RE: “On Growing Issue” (GT, 10/9): The “war on drugs” is actually 100% fiction.

In early 2016, Harper’s magazine published part of a 1994 interview in which former Nixon domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, stated: “You want to know what this [the War on Drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Sadly, the government is still fighting people who are trying to make a living from growing marijuana. As the

Baine—to whom Georgia handed off the story this summer—manages to both have a lot of fun with a local legend, and also fill in some of the story around it that most people don’t know. I learned a lot (have all the names for this place ever been assembled in one list before?), and I’m tempted to get over there on Halloween night for the new owners’ informal community meet-and-greet.

Elsewhere in this Halloween issue, I interviewed the Cabrillo Theater Department’s Kathryn Adkins about their new production of Carrie: The Musical, and found out how you drop blood on someone night after night. It’s been an educational week all around—I also learned way too much about why naked oatmeal raisin cookie is the worst Halloween costume of all (happy birthday, John). Nevertheless, I will soldier on with the trick-or-treating this year, thanks to my shark hat from Pacific Avenue’s Hat Company. Maximum candy, minimal effort! Happy Halloween!

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

referenced article states: “the county has misplaced its priorities.” Indeed, the entire USA has, too. We focus on the small crimes and criminals that are easy to catch, and ignore the larger epidemic of white-collar crime. White-collar crime in the USA is the Wild West. Our current president is lawless. We tolerate that, but destroy plants in the name of the law. I’ve never heard of a vineyard being raided and destroyed due to regulation violations.

HARMONIC CONVERGENCE Thank you for publishing my photo of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music Orchestra (GT, 8/7). But as I went from seeing my photo on page 4 to reading the column Local Talk on page 5, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Now, if you look closely at my photo, the only discernible musician is the bass player that sits closest to the audience. Which happens to be the very same Joe McFadden, bassist for the Atlanta Symphony that is the second face down in Local Talk! The odds of that >8

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 30 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Do you have any skill in fulfilling the wishes and answering the prayers of your allies? Have you developed a capacity to tune into what people want, even when they themselves aren’t sure of what they want? Do you sometimes have a knack for offering just the right gesture at the right time to help people do what they haven’t been able to do under their own power? If you possess any of those aptitudes, now is an excellent time to put them in play. More than usual, you are needed as a catalyst, a transformer, an inspirational influence. Halloween costume suggestion: angel, fairy godmother, genie, benefactor.

“One language is never enough,” says a Pashto proverb.

How could it be, right? Each language has a specific structure and a finite vocabulary that limit its power to describe and understand the world. I think the same is true for religion: one is never enough. Why confine yourself to a single set of theories about spiritual matters when more will enable you to enlarge and deepen your perspective?

With this in mind, Libra, I invite you to regard November as “One Is Never Enough Month.” Assume you need more of everything. Halloween costume suggestion: a bilingual Jewish Santa Claus; a pagan Sufi Buddha who intones prayers in three different languages.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Author Amy Tan describes the magic moment when her muse appears and takes command: “I sense a subtle shift, a nudge to move over, and everything cracks open, the writing is freed, the language is full, resources are plentiful, ideas pour forth, and to be frank, some of these ideas surprise me. It seems as though the universe is my friend and is helping me write, its hand over mine.”

Even if you’re not a creative artist, Taurus, I suspect you’ll be offered intense visitations from a muse in the coming days. If you make yourself alert for and receptive to these potential blessings, you’ll feel like you’re being guided and fueled by a higher power. Halloween costume suggestion: your muse.

In his novel Zone One, Scorpio author Colson Whitehead writes, “A monster is a person who has stopped pretending.” He means it in the worst sense possible: the emergence of the ugly beast who had been hiding behind social niceties. But I’m going to twist his meme for my own purposes. I propose that when you stop pretending and shed fake politeness, you may indeed resemble an ugly monster—but only temporarily. After the suppressed stuff gets free rein to yammer, it will relax and recede—and you will feel so cleansed and relieved that you’ll naturally be able to express more of your monumental beauty. Halloween costume suggestion: your beautiful, fully exorcised monster.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

More than a century ago, author Anton Chekhov wrote, “If many remedies are prescribed for an illness, you may be certain that the illness has no cure.” Decades later, I wrote, “If you’re frantically trying to heal yourself with a random flurry of half-assed remedies, you’ll never cure what ails you. But if you sit still in a safe place and ask your inner genius to identify the one or two things you need to do to heal, you will find the cure." Halloween costume suggestion: physician, nurse, shaman, healer.

“I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice,” testified poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. “Had I abided by it, I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.” This is excellent advice for you. I suspect you’re in the midst of either committing or learning from a valuable mistake. It’s best if you don’t interrupt yourself! Halloween costume suggestion: the personification or embodiment of your valuable mistake.

OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

6

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Cancerian artist Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a playful visionary and a pioneer of modernism. He appealed to sophisticates despite being described as a dreamy, eccentric outsider who invented his own visual language.

In the 1950s, Picasso observed that Chagall was one of the only painters who “understood what color really is.”

In 2017, one of Chagall’s paintings sold for $28.5 million.

What was the secret to his success? “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works,” he testified. “If from the head, almost nothing.” Your current assignment, Cancerian, is to authorize your heart to rule everything you do. Halloween costume suggestion: a heart.

Cleopatra was an ancient Egyptian queen who ruled for 21 years. She was probably a Capricorn. All you need to know about her modern reputation is that Kim Kardashian portrayed her as a sultry seductress in a photo spread in a fashion magazine. But the facts are that Cleopatra was a well-educated, multilingual political leader with strategic cunning. Among her many skills were poetry, philosophy, and mathematics. I propose we make the real Cleopatra your role model. Now is an excellent time to correct people’s misunderstandings about you—and show people who you truly are. Halloween costume suggestion: your actual, authentic self.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

The Dead Sea, on the border of Jordan and Israel, is far saltier than the ocean. No fish or frogs live in it. But here and there on the lake’s bottom are springs that exude fresh water. They support large, diverse communities of microbes. It’s hard for divers to get down there and study the life forms, though. The water’s so saline, they tend to float. So they carry 90 pounds of ballast that enables them to sink to the sea floor. I urge you to get inspired by all this, Leo. What would be the metaphorical equivalent for you of descending into the lower depths, so as to research unexplored sources of vitality and excitement? Halloween costume suggestions: diver, spelunker, archaeologist.

Around the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the 11th sign of the zodiac, Aquarius, will be capable of strenuous feats, will have the power to achieve a success that surpasses past successes, will be authorized to attempt a brave act of transcendence that renders a long-standing limitation irrelevant. As for the 11 days and 11 hours before that magic hour, the 11th sign of the zodiac will be smart to engage in fierce meditation and thorough preparation for the magic hour. And as for the 11 days and 11 hours afterward, the 11th sign should expend all possible effort to capitalize on the semi-miraculous breakthrough. Halloween costume suggestion: 11.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “We have stripped all things of their mystery and luminosity,” lamented psychologist Carl Jung. “Nothing is holy any longer.” In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, your assignment is to rebel against that mournful state of affairs. I hope you will devote some of your fine intelligence to restoring mystery and luminosity to the world in which you dwell. I hope you will find and create holiness that’s worthy of your reverence and awe.

Halloween costume suggestion: mage, priestess, poet, enchantrix, witch, alchemist, sacramentalist.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Author Robert Musil made a surprising declaration: “A number of flawed individuals can often add up to a brilliant social unit.” I propose we make that one of your mottos for the coming months. I think you have the potential to be a flawed but inspiring individual who’ll serve as a dynamic force in assembling and nurturing a brilliant social unit. So let me ask you: what would be your dream-come-true of a brilliant social unit that is a fertile influence on you and everyone else in the unit?

Halloween costume suggestion: ringleader, mastermind, orchestrator, or general.

Stories to Come

With multi-level garage in limbo, a look at various possible futures for downtown Santa Cruz BY JACOB PIERCE [This is part two of a two-part series on the future of downtown Santa Cruz. — Editor]

S

anta Cruz Public Libraries’ downtown branch has some serious problems, as architect Abraham Jayson laid out last week in a city presentation.

The building’s roof is due for replacement. Its fire-safety sprinkler system is incomplete.

Much of the structure isn’t seismically safe. Air conditioning is virtually non-existent. The elevators are antiquated. Electrical and plumbing systems are in desperate need of upgrades. Oh, and there’s asbestos everywhere.

“The majority of building systems are obsolete and beyond their usable lifespan,” Jayson told the Downtown Library Council Subcommittee on Thursday, Oct. 2. To top it all off, the library is out of compliance with accessibility rules “too numerous to get into,” he said.

Those findings reaffirmed issues with the current facility that the city’s Downtown Library Advisory Committee (DLAC) had already documented. That group looked at the cost of renovating the current library with funds from a 2016 voter-approved bond measure and determined that it wasn’t worth the money. The committee instead recommended building a mixed-use

library from scratch, combined with other uses including a new parking garage—a proposal that quickly turned into a lightning rod in Santa Cruz environmental politics.

After groups like Don’t Bury the Library formed and mobilized against the mixed-use garage, a new council subcommittee formed this year to make sure the city covered its bases.

With guidance from the new subcommittee, Jayson’s firm was tasked with asking a different question: If the city opts to renovate the current library on site, how much benefit could it get? Last Thursday, he revealed his findings.

It wasn’t all bad. With a $27 million budget, Jayson >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors last week approved a plan to build an automobile dealership at a busy midcounty intersection, a project that includes demolishing several existing buildings.

The Nissan dealership on the 2.5-acre parcel on the corner of 41st Avenue and Soquel Drive will include a 12,550-squarefoot showroom and a 10,000-square-foot service area.

The project includes rezoning the area from community commercial to service commercial.

As part of their Tuesday vote, supervisors also approved an environmental impact report for the project, which must now be approved by a Santa Cruz County Superior Court judge.

The business will replace King’s Paint & Paper, an adjacent self-car wash and an abandoned house. It will be a relocation for the Nissan dealership at 1605 Soquel Drive.

Construction will include landscaping and a new sidewalk in front of the dealership. It will also include a signal light at Soquel Avenue and Robertson Street.

Don Groppetti, who owns the dealership, will pay 3% of the cost of the signal lights, which he says is about $200,000.

He will also pay for a dedicated vehicular right-turn lane along the Soquel Drive property frontage, and for a sidewalk along the front of the business, which will extend 300 feet to the west and 250 feet to the south of the project site.

Workers will remove eight trees, and plant 50.

The project, which the supervisors initially approved in May 2018, does not come without controversy. A lawsuit filed in July 2018 by the group Sustainable Soquel ended in March, when a Santa Cruz County Superior Court judge ruled that the county needed to look at alternative sites.

Sustainable Soquel member Lisa Sheridan has said that she wants to see the creation of “walkable neighborhoods” that include mixed-use projects.

believes Santa Cruz could raze the one-story administrative wings that surround the library, none of which are seismically sound. That would open up the facility and allow for big windows with lots of natural light. The entrance would move from Church Street to Center Street, with an additional entrance from the parking lot next door, which could be reconfigured to allow for better flow.

However, there likely wouldn’t be a teen space or a spot for college and high school kids to study.

The genealogical space would get absorbed into another room, like the quiet reading space. Downsizing the office spaces would force the library to rent space elsewhere for administrative purposes. Jayson’s model does not include certain expenses, like the costs of renting a space off-site during two years of renovations, moving the library and its collections or moving everything back after renovations are complete.

There’s little question that— with floor-to-ceiling windows and additional landscaping—Jayson’s renderings portray a project that’s more open and more inviting than the current downtown branch. At this point, there’s a lot of variability in Jayson’s cost model, which his still in draft form; he’ll present a more in-depth estimate in November.

Santa Cruz must finish construction

by the time the bonds expire in the summer of 2024. On top of that, construction costs have been rising 8-10% per year. The “good news,” Jayson says, is that will likely go down to 5-6% a year. Taken together, all of this means that Santa Cruz can’t put off its decision much longer, he explains. Santa Cruz has to make a decision on the future of its library.

Here we’ll lay out three basic options the city has for the future of its main library and downtown parking:

1. BUILD A NEW MIXEDUSE LIBRARY WITH PARKING AND HOUSING Last fall, under a previous political majority, the City Council approved for Santa Cruz to proceed with plans a mixed-use library that had several layers of parking and affordable housing above it—all slated for the lot on the corner of Cedar and Cathcart streets.

Per council direction, the sixstory project would have had a 24-hour bathroom, and staffers were looking into ways to move or preserve existing magnolia trees that currently tower over that lot, which is home to the farmers market.

And as directed by the council, staff was studying ways to “futureproof” the garage—for instance, so that if parking demand dropped,

levels of the garage could be converted into other uses, like housing. Part of the plan was to redevelop old parking lots. If the parking supply was too high, Santa Cruz could start redeveloping even more. The city could also reuse the library site for another use, like affordable housing. The council placed the project on hold this year after a new majority got seated.

According to a 2018 estimate, the library and parking portions of the project would come out to a combined $64 million.

Were the city to revive this plan, the City Council would likely move the farmers market site one block away to Front Street, where the market could get a permanent pavilion.

2. RENOVATE LIBRARY, CREATE DOWNTOWN COMMONS Instead of relocating the market to Front Street, one idea many garage opponents have been pushing for is to create a brand new pavilion plaza at the current farmers market site on Cedar Street. That spot gets less car traffic and more afternoon sun than the Front Street lot.

Members of the group spearheading this idea, Downtown Commons Advocates, also support renovating the library at its current location.

There is, however, a >14

NUZ GRILL WISHES OK, everyone. Former Santa Cruz City Council candidate Ashley Scontriano has an important message about Chinese food.

Last week, she posted on her public Facebook page to let everyone know the food at O’mei—which closed two years ago due to protests over the owner’s horrible racism—was actually really good. “Who else misses the BEST Chinese food in the city of Santa Cruz?” she wrote, with a bunch of hashtags

including #runoutoftown and #freespeech. Yikes. O’Mei owner Roger Grigsby’s public bigotry included his support for former KKK leader David Duke’s U.S. Senate campaign in Louisiana—prompting a community boycott. The establishment quickly closed in 2017. The Facebook page, Ashley Scontriano for City Council 2018, was the same one that Scontriano used for her unsuccessful campaign last year. In what appeared to be an edit of the original post, she made sure to let everyone

know that she isn’t interested in running for office again.

Phew, that’s a relief, but you might also say that it’s common sense (which coincidentally is the title of Scontriano’s weekly radio show on KSCO, a station that’s itself no stranger to bigotry). Seriously, someone who did want to run for the council again would surely make sure to denounce racism as unequivocally and succinctly as possible. Not only that, but such an individual with ongoing political ambitions would go the extra mile, making sure to

also proudly defend the boycott against O’Mei, right on cue.

And it would be so easy!

“Voting with one’s dollars to not frequent an establishment where the owner is donating to a former KKK grand wizard is as American as apple pie,” former Councilmember Richelle Noroyan wrote, commenting on Scontriano’s post. “I would be concerned if this establishment was able to stay open after knowing about his contributions.

I am proud of my community who voted with their dollars to not support this restaurant.”

DIGGING INTO IT The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a new car dealership on Soquel Avenue. PHOTO: TARMO HANNULA

who addressed the supervisors spoke in opposition.

Jill Troderman of Soquel expressed concern about the increased traffic she envisions stemming from the project. She proposed instead a community space that could include a music venue and cafes. That sentiment echoed what many people told the supervisors.

“This could be a really special place for our community,” she said.

But the trouble with such a proposal is that nobody has yet proposed an alternative project.

Supervisor Bruce McPherson said that there have been no improvements to the corner for decades. He said the auto dealership plan uses the property in a “common sense manner” that complements existing uses.

McPherson predicted that the mitigations of the new traffic signals will lessen traffic, rather than add to it.

Supervisor John Leopold, whose district includes the site, agreed, saying that the project will improve what he called the busiest commercial corridor in the county.

“It’s not an attractive corner,” he said.

“It’s got dumpy buildings. It has some trees, its got no wildlife, it’s got derelict homes. I

think we can all agree we want something different than what’s there now.”

Gillian Greensite, chair of the Santa Cruz chapter of the Sierra Club, urged the supervisors to reject the project.

“While we have no shortage of car dealerships, we do have a shortage of land available for the sort of development determined to be the best for this area as outlined in the 2014 Sustainable Santa Cruz Plan,” she said, referring to a document that lays out plans for sustainable planning and transportation.

Former Santa Cruz County Greenway Executive Director Manu Koenig agreed, saying that document was approved after numerous community meetings.

“The consensus was clear,” said Koenig, who’s challenging Leopold for his District 1 seat. “We need to create walkable communities. Are we going to create another temple to the automobile, or are we going to use this opportunity to create a temple to community and sustainability?”

Santa Cruz insurance salesman Lou Tuosto, who has served on several boards, was the only public voice speaking in favor of the plan.

He said it will bring jobs to the community and improve the otherwise “blighted” corner.

Tuosto pointed out that the county looked at alternative sites, and that nobody else has stepped forward with an alternative plan.

“This site looks good,” he said. “It makes sense. It makes financial sense.”

Supervisor Zach Friend was the lone dissenting vote. He said that approving the project would mean the county would not be able to change its mind if a potentially better project pops up down the road.

“We do future planning as a county, and I think that in 10 or 15 years we would envision something else at this location,” he said. But it’s going to be very difficult to undo what will be there in 10 or 15 years.”

The proposal passed 4-1.

In other action, the supervisors unanimously approved a first reading of a proposal to create a Syringe Services Program Advisory Commission.

The seven-member public body would oversee the county’s syringe services and would be bound by public meeting rules.

These programs help reduce the risk of communicable diseases such as AIDS, Santa Cruz County Health Services Agency Director Mimi Hall said. The item will return to the supervisors for a second reading and approval on Nov. 5.

An advisory council has overseen the program since 2013.

“We’re forming this commission because syringe services is a very important piece of the work we do,” Hall said.

potential contradiction inherent in this vision. It’s clear is that critics of the parking garage have asked tough questions challenging assumptions about the demand for new parking.

Transportation is changing, they say.

Who knows what the future will bring?

Here’s the issue, though: If there’s as much uncertainty in transportation as critics like to claim, it’s a big leap to go from questioning the need for a new garage to expressing confidence that Santa Cruz can spend parking surplus revenues to start taking spaces away, and ultimately do so without dealing a crippling blow downtown businesses. It’s one thing for environmentalists to suggest that the city’s transportation downtown models might not pencil out. But activists’ own alternatives have yet to face much scrutiny.

Bear in mind that downtown already has hundreds of parking spaces in other lots ready to be redeveloped into better uses, and also that city leaders expect that downtown Santa Cruz could support 600 new units of housing over the next decade, as well as new retail spaces to go with it. And there’s no reason why the city, which is in the midst of a dire housing crisis, couldn’t raise the bar even higher in order to meet its housing production goals.

Given that the City Council has killed a plan to zone for higher densities on major transit corridors, councilmembers could, for example, plan for more housing downtown, where dense housing projects generally face less opposition.

The debate over common spaces downtown goes back at least 30 years. Shortly after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake leveled much of downtown, many progressives wanted the City Council to create a new public plaza. One of the quake’s many casualties, after all, was the Cooper House—once home to a bar, restaurant, shops, live music, and community gatherings. In the decades since, that debate never really went away.

Today, many fans of Abbott Square Market, which opened two years ago, see the new food court as a vital community space that >16

If there’s one skill that various iterations of the Santa Cruz City Council over the last decade have mastered, it’s punting.

As always happens in Santa Cruz during times of gridlock, I’ve heard chatter lately about trying to get creative with out-of-the-box compromises and find different sites for a new library. But after so many delays, there is not enough time to go down new rabbit holes.

At this juncture, the brand new library project and the parking garage are inextricably linked. The downtown commons and the library renovation, however, are not.

It’s worth noting that the Downtown Library Council Subcommittee, which has been meeting since early summer, has been focusing mostly on the library aspect of the project, less so than on the parking. I have not heard anyone advocate for this idea, but if the council buys arguments about the uncertainty in the future of transportation, it could proceed with renovating the library without taking action on the parking lot and without doling out the parking revenue that it might otherwise spend on the garage. It could, for instance, create a new advisory committee to study the future of parking demand and the possibility of a new garage.

If, however, the city does decide that a new parking structure is needed in the future, Santa Cruz would be hard-pressed to find a first-floor tenant that brings as much public benefit as a full-sized downtown library. Also, the financing could be different without the library funds to share in the expenses.

And in the meantime, construction costs will likely keep going up.

Holding Court The new owners of the Court of Mysteries have big plans for one of Santa Cruz’s strangest spots BY WALLACE BAINE

I

Splunk, as well as an author of a new book on rock music. He’ll be the guy dressed as an enormous fly.

“But next Halloween, look out,” said Harr, when I visited him and his wife at the Temple site one recent sunny afternoon. The plan, he says, is that by Halloween 2020, the Temple will be the wildest, most gotta-see haunted house attraction in town.

The Court of Mysteries’ main house, which dates back to the late 1930s, has never been formally inhabited. Harr and Morton won’t live there, either.

They are building their private home right next door on the property’s southernmost (beachside) lot.

They purchased the property in February 2016 for just under $1.6 million and have spent more than $200,000 on renovations to the Court’s buildings, which includes a meticulous re-creation of the signature towers at the front of the property. They’re building a fountain between the ornate gate and the main building, a lap pool on the property’s back end, and they are repurposing the wellhouse—the only structure on the grounds that has not survived—as a gathering place around the property’s well, in which they’ll install lights visible through a metal grate.

The new owners envision the property as a new kind of thing, a quasi-public space that they plan to open several times a year for curious visitors, not only during Halloween, but for the holidays and the annual Open Studios art tour. “We want to map it to the Hindu holidays,” says Morton, who maintains a blog on the renovation of the site (redbrickcastle. com) and also took over a Yelp page about it established years ago.

“This year is all about letting people know what’s going on,” says Morton in reference to Halloween at the site. “People can come by, ask questions, get a peek at what’s going on. We want to get it to the point where it’s a draw for the neighborhood.”

Everyone who lives within two miles of the place likely has their own name for it.

Even the address is ambiguous. For years, it was known as 519 Fair Ave. Now, it’s officially 515 Fair.

It sprawls across four residential lots on Santa Cruz’s Westside and features a main house, an elaborate gate and two towers, all made from brick and mortar inlaid with abalone in a distinctive style that suggests Hindu-flavored folk art—unique certainly in Santa Cruz, maybe in the world.

For decades, it has been a local curiosity: abandoned, dangerous, dirty, and more than a little creepy.

But today, the Court of Mysteries is poised to begin a new era in its long, strange history. After years stuck in a bizarre state of real-estate limbo, the property has been purchased by a larger-thanlife, gung-ho San Francisco couple eager to embrace its eccentricities and invite the community to celebrate its weirdness.

The husband-and-wife dynamic duo of Artina Morton and Douglas Harr are not only the new owners of the property, but they fashion themselves as its stewards, as well. At sunset on Halloween, the two will be on hand at the infamous site in a kind of meet-and-greet to chat up neighbors and answer questions about the building and their plans for it. Morton, a visual artist who once lived on the Eastside of Santa Cruz, will be in a Willy Wonkastyle top hat. Harr is a veteran of the tech industry, most notably at the software and big-data giant

THE MAN CALLED KITCHEN

20

The story about the origins of the Court of Mysteries is a ball wrapped in the twine of lore and legend around a small core of known fact.

The site is the handiwork of a man named Kenneth Kitchen. According to local historian Carolyn Swift, Kitchen—along with his brother Raymond Kitchen—purchased quite a bit of land on Santa Cruz’s Westside during the Great Depression, when much of that area was open fields and small farms.

One of the Kitchen brothers was a stonemason and the other was a bricklayer, and they kept busy building houses in the area (though, by most accounts, the brothers didn’t exactly enjoy a harmonious relationship; one of the more persistent legends about the Kitchen Brothers has to do with a very public street brawl between the two of them). Some time in the late 1930s (some sources say the ’40s), Kenneth Kitchen began his dream project on a plot of land he owned on Fair Avenue, a byzantine, temple-like building inspired by his interest in Hindu iconography and the Occult. (Legend has it that Kitchen mostly built the temple at

night by the light of the moon, and evidently, even he never lived in the main building, preferring to sleep in an adjacent yogi shack.)

One story has it that Kitchen became a student of famed Indian yogi and monk Yogananda Paramahansa, author of the 1946 bestseller Autobiography of a Yogi.

As the story goes, Kitchen returned to Santa Cruz and began to build the temple in tribute to the yogi and his teachings.

Whatever its origins, it’s clear that the temple, the gate and the obelisk towers were built from devotion and attention to detail. The arched windows, the inlaid abalone, the symbolic references, and the lotus flower shapes (that look like surfboards to the contemporary eye) all attest to a passion of an artist developing a highly personal expression.

“You see that?” said Artina Morton, pointing above the entrance to what appeared to be links in a chain carved from stone. “That’s the ‘Chain of Love’ you find on some Hindu temples over their entry.”

Capitola’s Michael Threet is the stonemason the new owners brought in to restore Kitchen’s work. “It’s just phenomenal the craftsmanship he used in that place,” said Threet.

The Court of Mysteries’ walls and ceiling were reinforced with rebar.

“Back in that era,” said Threet, “not very many people were doing that, if any. I’m still doing fireplace rebuilds from the ’89 earthquake.

Even then, a lot of them didn’t have rebar in them. For him to have the foresight to build it that way, it’s astounding.”

Much of the abalone used in the

The materials from the demolished wellhouse, which had been destroyed by literal sledgehammerwielding vandals years ago, provided Threet with much of the material to rebuild the towers and the temple.

“We kept every brick and piece of abalone,” he said. “I also have some friends who are divers, and they’ve donated a lot of abalone shells for the project. So that’s been nice too, to have the local people involved.”

It’s not only a seismic miracle that Kitchen’s creation is still standing.

The Court of Mysteries has endured in the midst of a breathtaking transformation in the Santa Cruz real-estate market, from sleepy ex-urban farms to million-dollarplus valuations.

For unknown reasons, Kenneth Kitchen abandoned his dream architectural project and sold the property some time in the 1950s or early 1960s. He then promptly disappeared from the official record.

The new owner was a priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church named Elias Karim who wanted to establish a chapel on the site. According to an account in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Father Karim’s shrine was dedicated in early 1963.

Soon thereafter, however, Karim’s church transferred him to Oklahoma, and, at that point, Kitchen’s Court of Mysteries entered into a state of real-estate limbo that lasted for decades.

Karim died, and the property was inherited by his family, none of whom had Santa Cruz roots.

Neglectful absentee ownership led to problems.

Perhaps more than any other individual, Santa Cruz architect Mark Primack is responsible for saving the Court of Mysteries from demolition. Primack had led a similar effort to save the fabled Tree Circus in Scotts Valley, which

featured bizarre grafts of living trees engineered by arborist Axel Erlandson. Commercial pressures doomed the Tree Circus, but Primack led the effort to move many of Erlandson’s trees to a sanctuary near Gilroy.

For many years, into the 1990s, the Court of Mysteries was a neighborhood nightmare.

“The police would get calls every weekend,” says Primack. “People were having parties there. Homeless people sleeping there. There were even fires being set.”

Meanwhile, Karim’s son Andrew was in Oklahoma City, fielding complaints from 1,300 miles away.

“They didn’t do anything to secure the property,” says Primack. “They made some attempts to sell it. I think they were seeing millions of dollars. But finally, they understood that to sell the property, it was going to have to have value, which in their view means those buildings needed to be gone.”

Primack, who was on the City Zoning Board at the time, worked with the city’s Historic Preservation Commission to have the Court of Mysteries declared a historic structure, thus saving it from demolition. Andrew Karim was not happy at first (“He called me up to give me a lecture on property rights,” remembers Primack), but eventually he acquiesced and agreed to secure the property from trespassing and vandalism.

Primack worked with him and volunteers at the Homeless Garden Project to bring in a caretaker on the lot (who lived in a trailer on the site, with a couple of Rottweilers to get the point across to wouldbe trespassers). The property was cleaned up. The police calls stopped.

But the state of limbo continued into a new, extended period. Primack, working with the Karim family, drew up plans for development of the site that, he felt, respected the Court of Mysteries and its heritage. The job even went out to bid. But those plans never came to pass. “(Karim) was just too far away,” says Primack. “The family just kept vacillating between ‘We love this

Paul Zech calls himself a “hungry guy.” A veteran real-estate agent, Zech considers himself a kind of specialist in developing vacant land. “There’s nothing more difficult to do in real estate,” he said, “than to take a piece of vacant land and try to do something with it.” The Kitchen property was not vacant land, but it had no infrastructure, no septic or sewer, no water, no electricity.

Like many Santa Cruzans, and certainly like many local real-estate agents, Zech was fascinated by the Court of Mysteries. His hunger for a challenge led him to poke around the site and there he saw a sign, tipped over and lying in the weeds: “For Sale, By Owner.”

“I thought, ‘Why would there be a for-sale-by-owner sign with an outof-town area code?’” says Zech. “So I sat right there in front of the place and called.”

He left a message. A bit later, he got a call back. It was Andrew Karim who, by this time, was living in Atlanta. At that point, it had been more than 50 years since his father purchased the property from Kitchen.

According to Zech, Karim told him something surprising, even unbelievable. “He told me, ‘You’re the first real-estate agent in Santa Cruz County to ever call me.’”

Zech jumped at the chance to represent the property. But he knew it would not be an easy sell. The owner didn’t even have the key to the lock on the door. Zech had to get the lock cut and use a screw gun to get into the property.

“The bigger and tougher the challenge, and the more creative you have to get, that’s the game I like to play,” Zech says. “I told my wife, ‘I don’t know how we’re going to sell this. We’re going to be sitting on this for a long time. I mean, it’s not even

a habitable house. It’s a liability that the (Historic Preservation Commission) has their eye on. It’s going to take a unique buyer.”

Enter Doug Harr and Artina Morton.

The couple were looking to get out of San Francisco, find something where they could stretch out, maybe a compound where they could invite close friends to live nearby. Because she had once lived there, Morton kept returning to Santa Cruz in her mind. “There’s no place like Santa Cruz,” she says. “It’s a magical island unto itself.”

They found a piece of property on the East Side near Chaminade, but couldn’t make it work. Then, they stumbled upon the Court of Mysteries.

“Doug was immediately drawn to it,” said Morton. “Neither one of us knew anything about it. But it was pretty compelling—this huge lot, weird structures. We needed to know more.”

Complications would follow. At first, the asking price was well above the couple’s comfort level.

They sought the advice of locals in the market, who quickly discouraged them for tangling with such a troublesome property. The couple’s original idea was to “finish” the main house; Kitchen had built stairs that went to a second floor that was never constructed. That plan proved to be unworkable.

Still, the property’s magic worked on them.

“Doug couldn’t write the check fast enough,” says Zech. “He didn’t want anyone else to have that property.”

The Paramahansa story deeply connected with Harr, because of his brother who became a monk at a fellowship founded by the famous yogi.

Morton was a tougher sell. One day, she got a call from her husband.

“I’m going by that red brick place again,” he said. A bit later, he called again, telling her there was a realestate agent on site and that they could see the inside of the place. She told him, “OK, but if I walk in that building and there’s weird mojo, we

“I had a kerosene lamp and a couple of flashlights,” remembers Zech. “All the windows were boarded up. The only thing we could do was open the front door. You couldn’t see anything.”

The interior was coated with dirt and graffiti covered the walls. But there was no garbage, or other sign of human habitation. “I took one

step inside,” says Morton, “and it was just so overwhelmingly positive and peaceful.”

“My take on Artina,” says Zech, “was, well, here she was married to this guy who wanted to do the deal.

And she’s got to be the one to keep it together. She was cautious. But now, who’s the real lover and champion of that property? It’s her. She’s got great vision. I would just listen

to her over different visits to the property when we were in escrow.

And, man, she just had it wired.”

The Court of Mysteries was on the market only 89 days after Zech first took it on. That was more than three years ago now. Since then, Harr and Morton have been living in a nearby rental while the renovations of the building and the construction of their own home

next door continue. They move into their new home in January.

Some locals are grateful to them for bringing life to a long-derelict property. Others are dubious about the construction going on in the Court of Mysteries’ shadow.

“Look,” says Zech, “they did the neighborhood a favor. They did the city a favor. They did the Historical Preservation Commission a favor.

We’re all lucky that they came along.”

Harr and Morton said that they are interested in erecting a historical plaque paying tribute to Kenneth Kitchen and his vision on the sidewalk in front of the property.

And they want to be part of the ongoing oral history of the site.

“We’re still looking for stories from people about their experiences with this place,” says Morton. “We want to collect those stories from locals and hopefully write a book one day.”

Near the end of my visit, Morton invited me to follow her into the back of the structure, saying “Let me show you something.” We entered into one of the twin “carriage house” spaces in the structure. One will be her art studio. The other his music man-cave.

It was there that she bent down over a couple of hundred small ceramic tiles, engraved with writing and illustrations. She had unearthed these cryptic tiles buried on the grounds that she’s now collecting to put to use in the building’s renovation. Only the ghosts of the Kitchen Brothers could tell her what they are and what they signify. But they’re not talking. Still, the tiles represent a kind of totem handed down through the generations from the creator of the Court of Mysteries to the couple that fate has tabbed as its stewards.

An hour earlier, gregarious and bearish Doug Harr said the same thing, “Let me show you something.”

Standing in an empty space, he smiled broadly and said, “Here’s where we put the pinball machine.”

WOMEN IN BUSINESS Vitamin Center

Amanda Edwards, LCSW Pleasure Power Coaching

Amy Jespersen, CN

I was raised by parents who had the upmost interest in health and healthy living. My father, Jack Macdonald of the Vitamin Center, kept us current with the health movement. Over the years I rebelled and moved on my own path. My own health started to deteriorate in my mid-twenties and I found myself seeking a holistic approach to my aliments. Western medicine provided me with a number of friendly doctors who could not address my symptoms. After the birth of my fourth child my health was at its worst. I ended up in the ER where a very helpful doctor suggested I had autoimmune thyroid disease. This was a turning point for me as I realized I must advocate for myself and my health. I began doing my own research, reading, and interviewing. I became a patient of some phenomenal practitioners and my health began to return. Working at the Vitamin Center I spoke with many customers whose health was failing. One of the things I noticed was a commonality between a person’s perception of eating healthy, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and failing health. Many people want a quick fix supplement and fail to do the work necessary for good health. So I went to Bauman College to learn more about diet and health with the intent of sharing and teaching people how to make positive changes in their life that would reflect in their health. Jack’s supplement knowledge and my nutrition knowledge make us a great team.

THEATER

“You have to remember that back in the ’80s, the other shows that were being produced at the time were the big extravaganza musicals—Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis. Huge productions—for Miss Saigon, they were dropping helicopters! So Carrie came along, and it couldn’t really compete on the same level. Plus, the story is pretty dark. So it wasn’t one of what we lovingly call the ‘happy-clappy’ musicals. But musicals have really changed; we’ve had a big resurgence of social issues.”

And Carrie certainly has a strong social issue at its core; it’s about as anti-bullying as you can get, and way ahead of its time in that way. That message was what drew Adkins to the material the most, and she’s added several elements to the production to emphasize it, like text messages to incorporate cyberbullying, and letting the audience see pages in Carrie’s sketchbook as a window into her emotions.

In the #timesup era, Carrie White may have found her cultural moment. Abused by both her deranged mother and her peers, she finally gets to the point of no return, retaliating with a supernatural weapon that has taken on more and more symbolic resonance over the years.

“When Stephen King was writing his novel, telekinesis was being studied as a weapon or a counterweapon during the Cold War,” says Adkins. “It’s her weapon, and it’s an explosive response, an emotional response that being young she doesn’t have control over yet. I think that’s part of the message, too—that we have to see behaviors and change them, and you can’t ignore them.”

‘Carrie: The Musical’ runs through Nov. 10 at Crocker Theater in Aptos.

Performances are Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm. There will also be a Halloween performance at 7:30pm on Thursday, Oct. 31. Tickets $19/$17 students and seniors/$9 with Cabrillo student activities card. Go to cabrillovapa.com for more info and tickets.

<38 itself and make it hazardous for the actors,” says Adkins.

“Everything was tried out first with water. Water, of course, isn’t quite the same viscosity, but you get a sense of where it’s going to go and how you can control it—and what you need to do to avoid it hitting and destroying your microphones.

That takes practice and attention to detail, like how much liquid to pour.

All of those things are part of the rehearsal process.”

If it sounds like she’s overstating the hazards—well, the blood drop shorting out microphones is exactly the kind of problem that plagued the notorious 1988 Broadway run of Carrie: The Musical. (They almost decapitated an actor, too, but that’s another story.)

But the technical disasters during the show’s U.S. opening three decades ago didn’t intimidate Adkins.

“I really wouldn’t have even entertained doing the show if I didn’t have full confidence in the technical designers and masterminds over at Cabrillo College,” she says. “Skip Epperson is brilliant in his designs, and Marcel Tjioe, our technical director, is a wizard at figuring out how to make it all happen. It has been challenging. For me, there’s a joy in the challenge. I don’t know whether they could all say that, but I find always pushing myself a little bit is where the passion comes out. It’s been fun.”

She’s also thankful for the actor getting the blood dropped on her, Marina Hallin.

“I’m so, so lucky that we have a very strong Carrie. She’s not only a fabulous actor who has a tremendous voice, but she’s fearless,” says Adkins. “It’s not every actress who’s willing to have liquid poured on her in front of an audience. She just embraces the challenges all the way through.”

Carrie: The Musical was famously a flop on Broadway; the book about Broadway flops is even called Not Since Carrie. But in the last decade, it has experienced a Renaissance, with a number of revivals featuring a heavily reworked songbook and story. Adkins is not surprised.

Mellow Out Why the musician behind Mellow Fellow finally went public BY AARON CARNES

L

ast year, Ralph Lawrence “Polo” Reyes played his first show ever under his washed-out, downer-pop moniker Mellow Fellow. That first show was at a dive bar in his native Philippines. Once word got out that Mellow Fellow was playing live shows, he got offered a gig in Hong Kong—his second-ever show—which led to some tours in Asia, and now his first ever U.S. tour, which kicks off on Nov. 6 in Santa Cruz.

“I never had plans of performing my songs,” Reyes says. “I always told my friends that I’m never going to

be satisfied with how it sounds live.

I get meticulous when I’m in the studio, and I have trust issues, like, will my band be able to sound the way I want it?”

When Reyes started uploading instrumental tracks to his SoundCloud six years ago, he never included his real name or a photo of himself, hoping to keep a healthy distance between his musical expressions and his personal life.

That became even more important when he started adding vocals. The chilled-out, dreamy, jangle-pop songs that came pouring out of him

were sad, many of them dealing with a failed relationship he had with a girl he dated for four years.

“I started this project as an outlet for sadness, for anger, for exhaustion,” Reyes explains. “The whole purpose was to hide away from my life. I’m a different person when I’m not making my music. I don’t want people to associate me with the music I make when they see me at school or at work. It was a hobby I wanted to keep for myself.”

As his songs got better, the handful of friends he told about it shared his tracks on their Soundcloud pages. A

few songs caught a surprising amount of online attention, like “My World,” “Dancing” and “How Was Your Day,” a collaboration with the artist Clairo.

Some of his tracks have gone into the millions of views on YouTube, with fans fawning over his ability to produce such solitary bittersweetness in his music.

Magazines reached out to Reyes, and he had to decide if he wanted to keep the project as his private, anonymous emotional outlet, or transform it into a career.

“I had no choice but to reveal, inch by inch, who I really am,” Reyes says. “They would finally see the face behind the music. I wasn’t very comfortable with the idea— not because I have a problem with how I look, but I’m generally an introvert by heart.”

In the last year-and-a-half, he’s taken the project a step further, as a full-on functioning live project.

He’s had to grapple with how to translate this infinitely layered, nostalgic bedroom indie project into an actual band. He comes to the U.S. with a drummer, a bassist, three guitarists, and a keyboardist. He had a saxophone player in mind, as well, but didn’t have the budget this time.

“There’s never enough members in the band. Not everything is going to sound like the record, especially if it’s not meant to be played live,” Reyes says. “I told my bandmates, ‘I don’t want to go for a 100% likeness when it comes to the tracks.’ We were literally rearranging the songs to make them sound proper live instead of trying to copy the tracks, riff by riff.”

He’s not completely unfamiliar with performing live. Before Mellow Fellow, he used to play in a surfpunk band whose members would throw stuff around, stage-dive and “probably play naked.”

“I don’t want everyone to fall asleep when I sing my music. I think it’s important to keep that chill vibe, but at the same time to still feed off the crowd’s energy,” Reyes says. “If the crowd’s energy is very high and very energetic, we have some very cool moments on stage.”

‘SOLITARY GARDEN’ Solitary Garden is a participatory public sculpture and garden project by New Orleans-based artist Jackie Sumell.

At the heart of Solitary Garden is a sculpture made following the blueprint of a standard U.S. solitary confinement cell. The cell, designed by Tim Young (an inmate currently incarcerated in San Quentin), sits on a slope overlooking the Monterey Bay. A group of UCSC students have been in communication with Young and are planting a garden around the cell, where over the next 13 months, flowers and vegetables will grow and transform the image of confinement into a space of beauty.

BREAKTHROUGH LIFE TOOLS FOR MEN

HEALTHY ROLE MODELS Graduates of the Breakthrough Men’s Community program report a range of benefits, including improved relationships with their children.

Male Call

Longtime men’s education and support program comes to Santa Cruz County BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE emotions is a good thing, and it seeks to emulsify the oil-and-water-like relationship between vulnerability and traditional male culture.

“Most men coming to Breakthrough are facing a big life challenge, but many others aren’t in crisis and are just looking for deeper meanings, meaningful friendships, and a sense of community,” says Fitz, who emphasizes that Breakthrough isn’t geared just to men who may feel broken in some way. “At Breakthrough, we believe every man can benefit from the program.”

Fitz says program graduates include men from all walks of life—their backgrounds, educational and occupational pedigrees are as diverse as their various ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations. He says the average attendee is between 40 and 45 years old, but adds that there have been graduates as young as 18, all the way up to men in their 70s.

Fitz says that participants of Breakthrough

The Santa Cruz course will be held at the St. Philip’s Episcopal Church and with an introductory evening on November 5, 7-9pm. Visit breakthroughformen. org for more information.

I

n 1987, counselor and teacher of nonviolent communication Fred Jealous founded a men’s education and support program called Breakthrough Men’s Community with just himself and six others in the Monterey area. Thirty years and 2,000 graduates later, the program continues to expand, and now is offered in Santa Cruz.

“Fred had a strong belief that the way men are raised in this culture is damaging,” says Breakthrough executive director Chris Fitz, who graduated the program five years ago. “We are brought up to believe that boys must sacrifice their humanity to be ‘real men,’ and that the only way to relate to other men is to compete with them. Because of the way we’re raised, there is a lot of distrust in other men.”

A major tenet of the program, says Fitz, is that men need the support of other men to heal and regain the humanity that has often been socialized out of them. Another emphasis of the program is that experiencing

usually find it to be a very compelling, profound experience. He says that the most common feedback he hears from graduates is that Breakthrough “saved my life, saved my marriage, saved my relationship with my kids, or helped me through a painful divorce.”

A 2008 Blue Shield study on Breakthrough confirmed these sentiments, finding that the word “transformative” best described the Breakthrough experience, and that 91 percent of survey respondents used the words “enormous” or “considerable” to describe the impact that Breakthrough had on their lives.

But such transformation comes with a level of time commitment that sets Breakthrough apart from other programs of its kind. The program is 34 weeks long, which is broken up into two 17-week sessions. Each of these sessions has 14 evening classes, two all-day Saturday courses, and one weekend retreat. Most of the work is done in small groups, where participants learn to put the lessons into action.

“Practice makes perfect, and it takes time to rewire the neural pathways so we can live our lives differently,” says Fitz. He emphasizes the importance of taking one’s time and going slowly, providing men with the support to practice things like affirmations, identifying triggers with issues like anger addiction, and taking time and space to contemplate and reflect.

Breakthrough is a nonprofit organization, and tuition is done on a sliding scale. “No willing participant has ever been turned away for financial reasons in 30 years,” Fitz says.

About 40 percent of Monterey participants are referred by their therapists, with the other 60 percent being referred by word-of-mouth. Fitz adds that many of these referrals are given by women, who, he says, have a more instinctual understanding of the benefits a support community can provide. A similar program called Breakfree was subsequently created for women.

“Women get right away what we’re all about,” says Fitz.

MUSIC HORIZONS Antonin Dvorák’s explosive Symphony No. 7, together with No. 8 and No. 9 , represent Dvorák at his best, and they each reveal a somewhat different aspect of his personality. No. 7 is the most ambitious in structure, and the most consciously international in its message. The Dvorák specialist John Clapham writes that "without doubt" the No. 7 "must surely be Dvorák's greatest symphony.” The program begins with Esa-Pekka Salonen’s mesmerizing Violin Concerto, performed by our internationally acclaimed concertmaster Nigel Armstrong.

In this concerto, commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the end of his tenure, Salonen tries to sum up everything that he has learned as the music director of the orchestra. It won the Grawemeyer award for composition in 2012. 2-4:30pm. Henry J. Mello Center for the Performing Arts, 250 East Beach St., Watsonville.

LOCAL BAND

LOUIE THE 1ST In 2015, Everett Louie started DJing alone in his dorm room at UCSC. As a fan of EDM shows, he thought it would be cool to make some trap, hip-hop, EDM, house, dubstep, and bass mixes, and upload them to his Soundcloud. Just like that, his DJ moniker Louie The 1st was born.

Then something unexpected happened: his mixes found an audience online far beyond what he had imagined.

OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I started getting bigger and bigger,” Louie says. “At one point I was like, ‘Wow, this is blowing up in my face right now. I need to do something about it.”

54

His first show as Louie The 1st was in June 2018. Later that year, he would play his first Santa Cruz show at the Catalyst, opening for ARMNHMR. On Nov. 2, he’ll play his fourth show at the Catalyst, opening for Elephante. As much as it’s an honor, he recognizes he has a tough role as a local opener.

“You have to be the person to get people engaged. Get them ready for the headliner,” Louie says. “You have to play music that’s entertaining enough the audience doesn’t get bored out of their minds, but you’re not playing songs that would take away from the headliner.”

He’s already got a great feel for the arc of his sets. He opens with songs that invite people to join in, then segways into infectious dance songs and closes with some slower, emotive songs to leave a strong impression.

“Essentially to be a DJ, you really have to tell a story,” Louie says. “How I play my music in my sets, I tell the story.”

RHETT MILLER

WEDNESDAY 10/30 INDIE

PILE If you like your indie rock angular, sharp and a little menacing, then Pile is what you have been looking for. On this year’s Green and Gray, the Boston band sounds almost classically indie rock, like a transmission from the year 1992 that got lost somehow en route. There’s a bit of Archers of Loaf in the murky melodicism, some Jawbox in singer Rick Maguire’s croon/ scream dynamics. And while this might sound like a throwback, Pile excels at finding new pressure points, and then proceeds to hammer the heck out of them. MIKE HUGUENOR 8pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. $13 adv/$15 door. 423-1338.

THURSDAY 10/31 BRAZILIAN

SAMBADA The Monterey Jazz Festival last month featured some of the world’s greatest Brazilian musicians, from percussionist Luciana Souza and pianist Eliane Elias to guitarists Chico

Pinheiro and Ian Faquini. Right there also was Santa Cruz’s own SambaDá, delivering an uproarious wave of Afro-Brazilian funk. Led by capoeira expert Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora, SambaDá has been spreading the gospel of Afro-Brazilian grooves for over two decades. Given the amazing costume traditions of Salvador’s carnival and Lavagem do Bonfim (think Sun Ra meets P-Funk), Moe’s might be the best Halloween dance party in these parts. ANDREW GILBERT 9pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY 11/1 ROCK

BODEANS If you were an angsty ’90s teenager, chance are you flipped on the TV every week to see what the gang on Party of Five was up to. Inevitably, that alt-rock theme song “Closer To Free” got you all emo-pumped for the show. The group that penned this song, longtime college rock band BoDeans, scored a legitimate hit with the placement during the Party of Five’s opening credits. But there are several decades of tunes in these

guys’ catalog that bring the breathy, alt-rock vibe for hardcore fans. AC 8pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25 adv/$30 door. 479-1854.

POST-PUNK

GUERILLA TOSS Guerilla Toss vocalist Kassie Carlson shouts and sing-songs her way through rhythmic incantations and odd time signatures, often sounding like there are 20 of her on stage at once. Sometimes evoking a twisted Gina X vibe, and other times emanating the best of any Brian Eno era, Guerilla Toss is continually diving into the depths of experimental music and bringing forth shiny, enigmatic treasures. The result is manic, high-energy no-wave punk tunes with a dash of noise rock and distorted synths. Yet an apparent love of addictive pop melodies also winds its way throughout their puzzlelike artrock cacophonies. AMY BEE 9pm. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 11/2 PUNK

THE PARANOYDS Feminists fought so women could find worth on their own, and not just because of which man they attached themselves to. Unfortunately, this isn’t a fight that’s over, as LA garage-punk band the Paranoyds note on new single “Girlfriend Degree.”

“I’m not just a shadow of myself/ Looking good for somebody else.” The song, like most of the catalog, is a little bit grunge, a little bubble-gum pop and heavy on the feel-good

garage-rock vibes. They know just how to deliver important messages without making you feel like you’re being lectured to. AC 9pm. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10 adv/$12 door. 429-6994.

HORROR-PUNK

ARGYLE GOOLSBY Blitzkid may be a done deal, but Argyle Goolsby is still out there frightening fans and looky-loos with slashy, trashy horror-punk backed-up by the Roving Midnight, a merry band of horror misfits. Fast, relentless guitar licks and infectious drumbeats underlie ghoulish, gothic storytelling, while Goolsby’s dark persona thrashes on stage with his rich voice yelping and purring at the audience. AB 8pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10 adv/$12 door. 423-1338.

PUNK

MDRN HSTRY Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: “Surf disco punk art core gone questionably appropriate.” Yeah, me neither. That’s because there’s never been another band quite like San Diego’s MDRN HSTRY. Adding to

the confusion is the band’s incredibly smooth-yet-tight jazz sound. Underneath is an ocean of surf rock that ebbs and flows subtly, crashing in your face before crawling back under for the next song. Floating on top is a polished radio sound worthy of the Growlers, Interpol and the Strokes. MW 8:30 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

TUESDAY 11/5 ALT-COUNTRY

RHETT MILLER On his new solo album, Rhett Miller says the truth is he’s a “total disaster.” Yeah, well, guess what buddy, me too! The only difference is I didn’t front the influential alt-country band Old 97s, pen eight critically acclaimed solo albums, or write a book of verse for kids. Miller did, and after all these years, he still has the classic cool, lacerating tongue and pervasive self-deprecation that made the Old 97s a favorite of lovers and reprobates alike. Looks like even when it comes to being a disaster, this guy is a disaster. MH 8pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Dr., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door. 479-1854.

9pm. Friday, Nov. 8, Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. Information: moesalley. com WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz. com/giveaways before 11am on Thursday, Oct. 31, to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

throws big rants and, appropriately, has one of the toughest sounding names in show business. But after just a few minutes of listening to one of Escobar’s hilarious tirades, the intimidation turns to agreement, laughter and applause.

This Berkeley resident is a frequent flyer throughout the Bay Area and can often be seen anywhere from the Sacramento Punchline to the Sunset Strips’ Comedy Store. But Escobar reps Santa Cruz with a Blue Lagoonies shirt in his head shots. MAT WEIR

California has its own approach to bluegrass. No band exemplifies this better than SF quintet Hot Buttered Rum, with their breezy vibes, exploratory mindset and emotive Americana approach to songwriting.

But what makes it great is that at its heart, it’s still the very foot-stomping bluegrass you want to kick back a couple cold ones to and dance till you shut your brain off completely. The group is a festival staple, and are on the road all the time. But they always make sure to promote environmental and social causes. Because you know, California.

AMERICAN LIT Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Thomas Edison in ‘The Current War.’

60

Power Houses Edison, Westinghouse race to electrify America in atmospheric ‘The Current War’ BY LISA JENSEN

N

o, it’s not about the latest international outrage launched by our so-called president. But The Current War concerns a subject every bit as cutthroat and high-stakes as any of the recent shenanigans out of D.C.: the clash of titans Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse as they race against time and each other to bring the magic of electrical power to America.

The movie is powered by a few titans of its own. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Edison (another brusque, eccentric genius in the Sherlock/Alan Turing mode). Michael Shannon plays Westinghouse, peeking

out over a formidable handlebar moustache (the era is around the turn of the last century). Nicholas Hoult pops up as Nikola Tesla, the unsung hero of the conflict, and Matthew MacFadyen (the smoldering Mr. Darcy in Pride And Prejudice, once upon a time) plays J. P. Morgan, the fickle financier for whose funding the others compete.

The subject may be electricity, but director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon doesn’t go in for a lot of flash and dazzle. His focus is on the hard work and endless trial-and-error that goes into producing a miracle like the electric light bulb—as well as its unexpected uses and sometimes grim

consequences—and the dueling egos and private agendas of the miracleworkers who make it happen. GomezRejon and scriptwriter Michael Mitnick rely on effective storytelling, interesting characterizations and period opulence to give the movie its charge.

Edison, a brilliant tinkerer, has invented the light bulb, and is feverishly working to build a power grid that will deliver electricity to private homes and entire cities.

Industrialist Westinghouse is not an inventor himself, but he has a nose for profit and employs a research team to do what Edison is trying to do—but faster. (Also cheaper: a

bottom-line mentality that echoes into our own era of lawsuits and random shut-offs.)

Edison lights up his first model town using Direct Current (DC), which requires the cables to be laid underground. There’s a wonderful shot of laborers at work on two levels of these underground tunnels, in cross-section; it looks like an ant farm, with tiny little humans scurrying around, one of many stirring and atmospheric compositions from cinematographer Chung-Hoo Chung. But Westinghouse is putting his money on the Alternating Current (AC), which is cheaper to produce—but far more dangerous, should any unlucky life form make contact with its volatile cables, which have to be strung up on poles above ground.

Already famed as an inventor, Edison doesn’t care about celebrity or money; he just wants to see his ideas come to life, and will organize press junkets and oblige autograph-seekers to do it. Westinghouse covets such fame and desperately wants to build his legacy. Serbian immigrant Tesla is more of a visionary than either of them. He works for Edison’s team for a while, where his engineering skills are not appreciated, but when he designs a motor that runs on AC, Westinghouse brings him on.

Katherine Waterston and especially Tuppence Middleton have small but key roles as Westinghouse and Edison’s wives. Tom Holland co-stars as Samuel Insull, Edison’s right-hand man and moral conscience. (He voices one of the movie’s main themes, challenging Edison as to whether he’d rather be remembered as P. T. Barnum or Isaac Newton.) And Chung’s often stunning cinematography (including a breathtaking aerial shot of the World’s Fair) and canny use of splitscreen techniques remind us what the movie only hints at in its later scenes—that Edison’s most enduring legacy may be the development of motion picture technology.

THE CURRENT WAR *** (out of four) With Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon, Tom Holland, and Nicholas Hoult. Written by Michael Mitnick. Directed by Alfonso GomezRejon. A 101 Studios release. Rated PG-13.

107 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES

OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

HARRIET This movie about Harriet Tubman’s escape from slavery and transformation into a freedom fighter is so long overdue, no one even seems to remember how long it’s been kicking around in development hell. How deep it will get into Tubman’s incredible real-life story remains to be seen— did you know that besides her work for the Underground Railroad, she was also a Union spy in the Civil War, a suffragette and the founder of a home for elderly black people that she herself ended up spending her last years at? (Yeah, I listen to too many history podcasts, so what?) Directed by Kasi Lemmons.

Starring Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr. and Janelle Monae. (PG13) 125 minutes. (SP)

MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN Edward Norton has been wanting to make Motherless Brooklyn into a movie since Jonathan Lethem’s acclaimed crime novel came out in 1999. But he never did. Just kidding! He actually directs and stars in this adaptation of the book, which is about a private investigator with Tourette’s Syndrome in the 1950s. Costarring Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. (R) 144 minutes.

(SP) PAIN AND GLORY Pedro Almodovar’s latest is clearly a very personal story, featuring his longtime favorite leading man Antonio Banderas as a director in the autumn of his career. It also features his favorite leading lady, Penelope Cruz, as the director’s … what, mother? Oh, it’s a flashback thing, okay. There are in fact many flashbacks, as the director “Salvador Mallo” looks back on his life. The result is winning praise as one of Almodovar’s best. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) PARASITE The director of The Host and Snowpiercer returns with a dark comedy/thriller about a poor family that slowly infiltrates the life of a rich family. At Cannes this year, it became the first Korean film to win the Palme d’Or. Directed

by Bong Joon-ho. Starring Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jyong. (R) 132 minutes. (SP)

discussion topic, go to groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE OK, so there was this woman, see, and this robot from the future went back in time to kill her, because she was going to give birth to the man who would lead the humans to eventual victory over the robots in a war that took place in the future that this robot had come from. But then a guy from the future who was a close friend of the man who the woman gave birth to went back in time to protect the woman from the robot who went back in time, and ended up being the father of the man who the woman gave birth to. They destroyed the robot from the future, killing the guy from the future in the process. Then the robots in the future sent a robot back to kill the woman, only this time they sent a better robot, while the humans sent back a robot to protect the woman that was like the robot that was sent back to kill her before. The woman, who by that time had a son, decided that she and the robot from the future that had been sent back to protect her could blow up the artificial intelligence that made the robots that went to war with the humans and sent a robot back to kill the woman who had the son who would lead the humans to eventual victory over the robots, yada yada yada, Terminator: Dark Fate.

Directed by Tim Miller. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Mackenzie Davis.

(R) 128 minutes. (SP)

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

(SP) BLACK & BLUE Behind the scenes at a movie studio: Exec #1: “So we’ve got this movie where a lady police officer sees some other police officers murder someone, and then she has to run away from the other police officers because they think she’ll expose their crime.

We’re thinking of calling it Black & Blue.” Exec #2: “That’s a stupid title.” Exec #1: Oh, right, I forgot to mention the lady police officer is black.” Exec #2: “So? Lots of police officers are black.” Exec #1: “Don’t you get it? She has to decide if she’s really black or blue.” Exec #2: “Ohhhh, you mean she’s literally blue, like Avatar? She’s an alien?”

Exec #1: “What? No, you dum-dum!

She’s blue like cops are blue.” Exec #2: “Oh my god, all the cops are from Avatar? That’s amazing!”

Exec #1: “I’m just going to back slowly out of the room now.”

Directed by Deon Taylor. Starring Naomie Harris, Mike Colter and Frank Grillo. (R) 108 minutes. (SP)

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) COUNTDOWN In this movie, an app tells you the exact date you’re going to die, and then you do. I don’t know, that seems like a crappy business model—who would be left to rate it five stars on the App Store? Directed by Justin Dec. Starring Elizabeth Lail, Anne Winters and Charlie McDermott.

(PG-13) 90 minutes. (SP) THE CURRENT WAR Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 107 minutes.

(SP) =GEMINI MAN Has any highconcept science-fiction flick ever had as many lead actors fall through as Gemini Man? Over the last 20 years of its development hell, the main role of an aging government assassin who has to avoid being assassinated himself— by his own clone—has been attached to Harrison Ford, Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery, and many more.

But since the premise of the film is that the clone is also played by a de-aged, computer-modified version of the same actor, I’m pretty sure all they had to do to get Will Smith is tell him that his name would be at the top of the poster twice. Directed by Ang Lee. Starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Clive Owen. (PG-13) 117 minutes. (SP) THE LIGHTHOUSE Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this black-and-white psychological

horror film from the director of The Witch about two lighthouse keepers who start to lose their sanity as their nightmares come to life. I find the scariest movies are the ones you can personally relate to, so I am sure to find this terrifying, as I suffer from recurring nightmares of being trapped in a lighthouse with the guy from Twilight. Directed by Robert Eggers. (R) 109 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. (PG13) 95 minutes. (SP) MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL I didn’t see the first one of these movies, but I’m going to guess it was either a Disney movie about the wicked fairy godmother in the Sleeping Beauty story, or maybe a documentary exploring the gender of rapper 50 Cent?

Eh, probably the Disney one.

Sorry, Fiddy! Directed by Joachim Ronning. Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

(PG) 118 minutes. (SP) WHERE’S MY ROY COHN? Don’t you hate when you misplace your Roy Cohn? You’re like, “I swear I left my Roy Cohn on the dresser, and now I can’t find it anywhere!”

It’s maddening! But this movie is not about that. It’s a documentary about the life of the actual Roy Cohn, the McCarthy-aiding, Communist-and-gay-hating, Trump-lawyering conservative who tortured American politics for decades. Directed by Matt Tyrnauer. (PG-13) 97 minutes. (SP)

uilt is a powerful emotion.

It turns us against ourselves, quietly judging and punishing even our most negligible misdeeds. Which makes it an equally powerful market force, because in the quest for perpetual growth, businesses must constantly plumb the depths of human psychology. Organic, fair trade, cage free, non-GMO—a rainbow of certification schemes have sprung up to comfort consumers as we learn new ways our purchases contribute to the suffering of others.

Enter a new wave of fake meat products seeking to capitalize on our fears of climate change.

Also known as meat substitutes, replacements, analogues, or even the oxymoronic “meatless meat,”

these lab-engineered products are designed to look, taste, feel, and in some capacity replace popular animal products like ground beef and shredded chicken.

These aren’t your weird aunt’s veggie burgers—these fake meats are aimed directly at carnivores.

They’re made of strange proteins isolated from soy, potatoes, coconuts, wherever they can be found, and reverse-engineered to mimic a juicy burger. In the case of the Impossible Burger, they famously even “bleed” when you cut into them.

Beyond Meats, Before the Butcher, Field Roast, Gardein, Lifelite, Quorn: alternative meat producers have proliferated rapidly in the last year or two, with investors pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into

the industry. Nestle even acquired Moss Landing plant-based food company Sweet Earth.

In Santa Cruz, you can find varieties at most grocery stores, as well as menus all over town. There’s Saturn Cafe, the Parish, Michael’s On Main, Veg On The Edge, Malone’s, Dharma’s—and even fast food chains. At the county’s six Burger King franchises, it took less than two months for sales of Impossible Whoppers to surpass the original, says District Manager Christina Montenegro, and total sales are up across the region.

“People love them,” Montenegro says. “Now I eat only Impossible.

The flavor is great—it’s more of meat than the real meat, but it’s not meat... I don’t know how.”

But the rapid growth in demand

has sometimes made it harder for local businesses to get their hands on the products.

“The Impossible Burger, for a couple months, was impossible to get,” says Chef Jon Dickinson of Michael’s on Main. He says beef burgers still outsell substitutes at the restaurant, and there remains a debate about home-made veggie patties vs. newer engineered varieties. “I like the garden burgers better, myself,” Dickinson says.

Last March, an independent analysis of the environmental impact of the Impossible Burger 2.0 found that its production uses 96% less land and 87% less water than burgers made from cows. It also causes 89% less greenhouse gas emissions and 92% less nutrient runoff, which can cause aquatic eutrophication.

But there are skeptics critical of these new products’ ability to replace animal agriculture, as well as their real health impacts. The only accusation leveled against them that might stick is that they’re imitating foods that are unhealthy to begin with. The Harvard Health Blog published a side-by-side nutritional comparison of Impossible, Beyond and beef burgers, which showed all three to have similar calories, protein and fat content. Impossible actually has a higher amount of saturated fat than the other two, but the plant-based burgers have zero cholesterol.

“These products are not healthy, they are not something that I would choose to eat myself, they’re highly processed… they’re certainly not in and of themselves going to help us make the shift that we need to make,” says Beth Love, a Santa Cruz-based plant-rich diet activist, chef, coach, reverend, and author of cookbooks like Sensational Salads to Cool the Earth. She says that while meat substitutes are a step in the direction of health and sustainability, ultimately they are only a stop-gap measure or a gateway to a plant-rich diet.

The upshot: If you’re eating fake meat because you feel guilty about animals and the environment, why not go all in and eat your vegetables instead?

Morgan Winery Sauvignon Blanc with zest BY JOSIE COWDEN

W

ith its aromas of passionfruit, lemon verbena and key lime, the 2017 Morgan Sauvignon Blanc is a good buy at around $18. Flavors of lemon and pomelo add lively and refreshing notes.

“The small touch of oak accents the bright acidity by adding elegant texture,” the winemakers at Morgan say. It’s a natural match for shellfish and seafood, and it’s also a very foodversatile wine. The juice was tank fermented to preserve bright fruit flavors—and following fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for five months of aging.

It’s an easy-to-find wine in a wide array of restaurants, and on the shelves of many supermarkets. With its simple-to-open screw cap, it’s a sure-fire hit for picnics and camping.

Morgan Winery is one of the most-known operations in the area, and they have a lovely tasting room in Carmel. Owners Dan Morgan Lee and Donna Lee host many events, including special tastings called “Vintage Fridays.” Check the website for more info.

ALBACORE FEED The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project, a nonprofit volunteer organization seeking to restore the native salmon and steelhead trout population in our area, and the Castroville Rotary Club, are having their 42nd annual fundraising albacore dinner—complete with raffle, door prizes and silent auction.

The event will happen at 6pm on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Castroville Recreation Center. Tickets are $20, or $10 for kids 12 and under, and available at the door. For info contact Mary Hermansky at mhermansky@cs.com.

UCE JUICE Samples of Uce Juice were being offered outside A.J.’s Market in Soquel. It said on the bottle: “Motivation, Determination & Patience—Strength, Unity & Peace,” things we all need. If you like a shot of caffeine any which way but loose, Uce Juice contains a touch of Arabica coffee beans, as well as apple juice concentrate, banana puree, mango juice and other natural flavors. It also contains cane sugar.

Made in California by a company of relatives, it sells for $3 at A.J.’s Market, or two for $4.

What are you excited about?

I’ve been excited about this pulled pork potato skin topped with roasted red pepper sauce, shredded cheese, house-made aioli and some cilantro.

It’s really delicious, pretty good bar food, beer food, kind of a smaller dish.

I’m also pretty excited about opening up a vegan option with mushrooms.

I’ve been foraging for a really long time, and now with the opening of Far West Fungi downtown, I’m trying to purchase mushrooms to use in a roasted potato skin with some caramelized onions and some kind of emulsified, creamy sauce. I’m not vegan by any means, but I’m into that.

Getting into the winter season, we’re switching up the soups a little more. I’ve already done a vegan, dry-farmed, roasted tomato bisque served with bread and some olive oil.

Now we have a roasted winter squash soup made with a variety called Blue Hubbard—it’s just this enormous, grayish-blue squash, and the flavor is awesome. I like to look for varieties of things that aren’t typically seen.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MERCURY RETROGRADES IN SCORPIO

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

How to more fully secure finances and resources held in common, and also stabilize relationships? You ponder these questions over the next several months.

Some answers: Maintain necessary boundaries and confidentiality, yet be very truthful with those you trust.

Pay bills, organize and safeguard important papers, tend to long forgotten needs (and deeds), and allow no alienation to occur. Share and safeguard more.

Review all monetary situations—loans, bills, and tithes—in order to carefully assess finances in the next three months. This is a good exercise. You’ll find life is generous. In turn, you are to be generous, too. Give to (tithe) those in need. Do this scientifically; a bit each month. Financial differences occur within relationships.

Stand your ground by sharing. Then share more. We are given more and more so we can give again and again.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Important tasks, set aside for months, now need tending and completing. These include cleaning, clearing, home repair, organization, ordering supplies, licensing, day-to-day living needs, commitments, and something concerning marriage. Deep emotions emerge from the tests. They will appear in all relationships. Partnerships need deep, mindful listening. Sit down together.

Communicate heart to heart, soul to soul.

The tests for Scorpio center on one’s self-identity. You will observe your many selves through the lens of who you think you are, who you used to be, and who you really are, now and in the future. This is complex, but not confusing. It’s clarifying, especially since the tests are made especially for you. Watch your communication.

Mercury will be watching and listening. Always practice Ahimsa (doing no harm). Karma is neutralized.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

The nine tests reveal themselves in daily life events, such as scheduling, tending to self, health, animals, and serving others. Mercury retrograde asks: are you taking care of yourself? Ask others to assist you if needed. It’s important that you tend to daily health tasks, set high standards, floss more carefully, act as if you are beloved, be respectful, and communicate as if the maintenance of the world depended upon it. You can do it all with grace and beauty.

How you observe and tend to the Nine Tests will determine what your next opportunities will be. So, ponder upon, tend carefully to, and every moment complete the tests. They will appear even in dreams, at odd times day or night, when you’re about to fall asleep and in between thoughts, ideas and words on a page.

People will appear offering you the tests. Information is available through this experience. Remember, eyes wide open, heart petals unfolded.

Esoteric astrology as news for the week of Oct. 30, 2019

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You might feel restricted, lost and alone, and far away from others, especially if family is not around. You may be stretched in four directions, experience financial fears with dreams intruding upon reality. “What’s real?” you ask. This question is all about the tests. You remember to step back and observe, to nurture yourself, and to dream more about what you really desire. And to plant some winter seeds.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You may be concerned about money—lack or loss of it, or not receiving your share in a family legacy or will. You may be concerned with having resources to purchase something quite large like a home. You remember nothing large is purchased in a retrograde. Sometimes you hide away enfolded in shadows. If there is persistent grief, take Ignatia Amara (homeopath). Death could be on your mind. Death is our great adventure, a liberation.

We’ve experienced it thousands of times.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Dear Capricorn, always moving upward and onward.

The tests, none of which deter you, will occur in teams, groups, with those around you and in your community.

The tests, subtle and behind the scenes, will transform and reorient your values. The Nine Tests will ask what are your hopes, wishes and dreams for the future? For yourself and your family? What are your deepest goals?

What do you love? What future do you envision?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Your home and work life are in states of change. If you are a writer, photographer or artist, notice the nine tests appearing in your life. Attempt to portray them through the medium of your art. This is new esoteric art. Wherever you are, make it feel like home. Host a party. Use your creativity to write about, describe and film everything about home. This allows you to look homeward, like an angel.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

A quiet frame of mind may be what you’re experiencing.

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio influences your thinking and communication. Careful that you don’t allow a critical nature or separative judgments to take hold.

Have the intention to pass the Nine Tests with loving care. Then assist others in their tests. Hold a light up for them in their darkness.

The world listens and sees you as a teacher. Make sure all that you say are words concerning the beloved.

Everything is the beloved. Write and speak as if you hold the world in your hands and every movement shifts humanity into states of greater Goodwill. What am I saying? That every action we make affects humanity and all the kingdoms.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019

Halloween this year brings us our old friend, shaman, coyote, heyoka (Lakota word for sacred clown, jester) Mercury retrograde, this time in Scorpio. That means it’s a more intense Mercury retrograde. Not light like Gemini, or quick like Aries, or on a journey like Sag, or in the future like Aquarius. Mercury in Scorpio is the deep, dark waters of the unconscious calling us to discipleship; it’s the Scorpio sting, eye of the eagle and the heart of the phoenix reorienting in the fires of transformation.

Mercury in Scorpio (retrograde) is feeling everyone’s thoughts and emotions, and it’s the Soul reminding us to have Right Communication, Goodwill and kindness (or else!) Mercury retrograde is a magical time, while Scorpio is a transformative testing time. In

this Scorpio Mercury retrograde time, it’s good to review the Nine Tests given to all of us, to see if we are strong enough to be Disciples and World Servers.

The Nine Tests focus on the three aspects of the personality (physical, emotional and mental). Physical tests: sexuality, physical comfort over service to others, and the right use of money. Emotional tests: fear (inhibiting activities), hate (which destroys relationships), and excessive and obsessive ambition and desire for power (which can destroy entire nations). Mental tests: pride (creates a barrier to the soul), belief in separateness and isolation (create barriers to Right Human Relations), and cruelty (outcome of inappropriate use of power).

Provoking thought since 1990

Circling back to the subject of downsizing... that vague, catch-all term we use to describe the strange place many people find themselves in these days, as card-carrying (Social Security) members of a rapidly aging culture.

Most sellers in Santa Cruz are people of a certain age. There’s an even larger wave of would-be-sellers-of-a-certain-age waiting in the wings. Those are the folks who are still wrestling with existential questions about the last third of their lives and trying to trick themselves into “beginning to think about the possibility of getting on with the future.”

Nominally, downsizing is about moving from a larger home to a smaller one after the kids leave and retirement beckons. Sounds like a normal part of the journey, right? Exactly what people work all their lives for, right? Then why is it so hard? And why are so many feeling so stuck?

Therein lies the mystery and the key to the release of all that nascent inventory that’s piling up, waiting for more folks to figure out what they somehow always assumed they’d know by the time they got here. The more stories I hear, the more I’m convinced people need better strategies for outsmarting themselves and questioning their own belief systems.

Downsizing is the paradigm shift that tests all our long-held assumptions about success, comfort and the desirability of stuff. Whatever your life is like today - it’s a habit. Good or bad. Healthy or unhealthy. Right-sized or not. It’s a series of ingrained routines and rituals that have grown together over time to support and perpetuate each other. That’s our nature. We’re always seeking the illusion of control. That habit is tough to break.

Here’s a collection of common phrases I’ve picked up over the years while helping folks work through downsizing. Maybe one of them will encourage you to hack into your own process a little more: There’s: “I’m glad we did all that traveling when we did.” And: “I’ll never be younger than I am today.” And then of course: “You can’t ever get enough of what you don’t need.” And everyone’s favorite: “I saved all that stuff for my kids but none of them want it now.”

And then: “Will I have more energy and resources in five or ten years than I have now?”

The ever-popular: “When you decide not to make a change, you are making a choice.”

And: “If you don’t choose to change, eventually life will make the choice for you.”

And finally, accompanied by the allencompassing sigh I’ve heard on many occasions: “Who knew?”

6. Set the meat on a rack in a roasting pan.

7. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reads 155°F, about 25 minutes per pound.

8. Remove the roast from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.

9. Slice and serve!

Wine Pairing

2015 St. HALLETT Faith Shiraz

Here’s a steal: a classic Barossa shiraz with black fruit and tarry tannins for $9. Give it time in a decanter and those iron-hard tannins lengthen out and the wine grows juicier while its clean black fruit remains firm and tangy.

Buy this by the case and decant it whenever there’s meat on the menu.

Occupation: Dental hygienist Hobbies: Riding horses, gardening/cultivating bee habitats, RVing, cooking Astrological Sign: Pisces Is Shopper’s your go-to-market? Yes, I shop here at least four days a week. Shopper’s is not only convenient to where I live but it’s the best grocery store. I love Shopper’s! You walk in the door and you’ve got the wooden floors — how good does that get?! It’s like 1950’s home… I like the size of the store. It’s cozy. I like that I know where everything is, and if I can’t find something, I’ll ask Dennis. He’s been here forever. I stop in at all times, including as early as 6:30 am when commuting to Salinas, to pick up Pacific Cookie Company goodies for my boss, ‘Mr. Health!’ Shopper’s is charming, and I think on-site ownership is an an important aspect.

Important, how so? I was shopping here when Jim’s (Beauregard) dad, Bud and his partner, Vin Williams, ran the store. Now you can talk with Jim, and his son, Andre. Thing runs so smoothly. The checkers are very friendly and efficient: I can get in and out faster than any other store in in the area. I think the produce is perfect and the meats are the best in town, because of the high quality, plus the butchers are fun to shoot the breeze with. The guys are real pros, I’ve see them in the locker room and I appreciate that nothing is precut or packed in styrofoam. You know what else I like? Shopper’s unbelievable wines. I usually get an Alfaro wine; Shopper’s carries it all and at all levels.

What do you like to cook? From Asian to Italian to barbecue to California and more. It seems like Shopper’s has whatever I’m looking for — a terrific pasta selection, fantastic Spanish olive oils, sombal oelec, a spicy Asian hot sauce, and more. Shopper’s is known for carrying great local products such as the produce, of course, as well as the coffees, Avida scones, the best I’ve ever had, and Companion breads — are you kidding me?! I see a ton of my patients here: I’m talking old Santa Cruz, the people that have kept this town going and connected to community. I just had a chance meeting with a new UCSC big wig. I told her, ‘Shopper’s has the best of everything.’
