OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Longtime locals may be getting déjà vu at recent Santa Cruz City Council meetings.

Tensions are running high, and divisiveness is approaching peak levels—in other words, it’s how the political climate gets around here every time homeless issues rise to the top of the agenda. It’s been that way for at least as long as I’ve been in Santa Cruz. Things got particularly nasty in the mid-’90s, in the wake of the Loma Prieta earthquake, and again in 2000, then again in 2002 … actually, I can remember more years it was bad than years it wasn’t.

The discourse has often gotten extremely uncivil. So is there any

WHAT IT TAKES TO DECARBONIZE

4

Re: "Spin Vogue" (GT, 2/27): Offshore wind in the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary? We don’t have to destroy the environment to “save” it if we emulate Sweden, France and Finland—countries that decarbonized decades ago, thanks to nuclear power. Instead, we emulate Germany, which—after spending hundreds of billions on wind and solar while closing nuclear plants—has failed to reduce CO2 emissions for 10 years straight.

Contrary to popular belief, civilian nuclear power and its waste have hurt no one in the United States. Worldwide, civilian nuclear power accidents have killed less people than are killed every single day by pollution from burning coal.

We need nuclear power and renewables.

Read, for example, the new book A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow. Our existence depends on everyone understanding what it really takes to decarbonize.

STEPHEN WILLIAMS | SANTA CRUZ

FAITH RESTORED I must respond to the absurd comments of

difference now, as the Ross Camp and overnight parking on Delaware Avenue become only the most highprofile issues splintering the current debate? Perhaps, as we have just witnessed the city’s mayor call out other councilmembers for what some say is sexist and inappropriate behavior, bringing what was once mainly backroom scuffling into the light of public debate. In this week’s cover story, Jacob Pierce takes a closer look at that debate, bringing in perspectives from everyone involved to examine the question of where the lines of acceptable behavior should be drawn in our city government. We can only hope the push to take such issues seriously will improve the situation not only now, while #MeToo and bullying are trending issues, but also every year this comes up again in the future.

Marji Schoeneman (Letters, 2/27).

I also live in Watsonville, Marji. I live in the retirement community of Pajaro Village.

One might think that older folks just love Trump and all his behaviors. Think again!

There is little respect left in my community for Trump. His disgusting, racist, misogynist, xenophobic behaviors were well outlined by our former secretary of state Madeleine Albright.

No, there was not one miniscule amount of respect for Trump in the article. And if you watched the Michael Cohen hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 27, you know why.

As I went door to door when I ran for city council in District 7, many voters wanted to know if I was a Democrat, and if I would help remove Donald Trump if elected.

I replied every time in the affirmative.

Fortunately, my two opponents were Democrats and have similar views to mine regarding Trump. Even though I did not win, I was struck by the anger, outrage and disgust with this POTUS. It reinforced my faith in the people of Watsonville. I resolved to do all that I can to remove him legally from office.

Thank you, Good Times, for your timely article regarding a true feminist leader from my generation. God bless Madeleine Albright. You go, girl!

JUST BIKE THAT

BIGGER AND BETTER

Bike Santa Cruz County is looking for a leader with a vision for local transportation that’s sustainable and forward-looking, and who has the credentials to walk the walk.

Current Executive Director Janneke Strause has announced plans to pursue a graduate degree in community and regional planning after implementing a new strategic plan.

In less than three years under Strause, the organization expanded the youthoriented Earn-a-Bike program, increased its budget by 30 percent, incorporated as a nonprofit, and moved to a larger office.

For information about the opening, visit bikesantacruzcounty.org.

On Saturday, the Santa Cruz County Parkinson’s Group held the “My Life is Bigger Than Parkinson’s” symposium at Twin Lakes Church in Aptos. Filled to capacity, the free conference brought together an impressive slate of speakers that laid out the latest developments in scientific research and emerging technologies and treatments to attendees.

One thing that was abundantly clear was the wide range of resources available in Santa Cruz County to people with Parkinson’s. To tap into them, check out easepd.org.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of March 6 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Genius inventor Thomas Edison rebelled against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours. Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred 10 hours of sleep per night, and liked to steal naps during the day, too. In my astrological opinion, Aries, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison. Important learning and transformation are happening in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic in your behalf.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The Danish flag has a red background emblazoned with an asymmetrical white cross. It was a national symbol of power as early as the 14th century, and may have first emerged during a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219. No other country in the world has a flag with such an ancient origin. But if Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who’s a Taurus, came to me and asked me for advice, I would urge him to break with custom and design a new flag— maybe something with a spiral rainbow or a psychedelic tree. I’ll suggest an even more expansive idea to you, Taurus: create fresh traditions in every area of your life!

GEMINI May21–June20 On June 7, 1988, Gemini musician Bob Dylan launched what has come to be known as the Never Ending Tour.

It’s still going. In the past 30-plus years, he has performed almost 3,000 shows on every continent except Antarctica. In 2018 alone, at the age of 77, he did 84 gigs. He’s living proof that not every Gemini is flaky and averse to commitment. Even if you yourself have flirted with flightiness in the past, I doubt you will do so in the next five weeks. On the contrary. I expect you’ll be a paragon of persistence, doggedness and stamina.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 The otters at a marine park in Miura City, Japan are friendly to human visitors. There are holes in the glass walls of their enclosures through which they reach out to shake people’s hands with their webbed paws. I think you need experiences akin to that in the coming weeks. Your mental and spiritual health will thrive to the degree that you seek closer contact with animals. It’s a favorable time to nurture your instinctual intelligence and absorb influences from the natural world. For extra credit, tune in to and celebrate your own animal qualities.

MARCH 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Between 1977 and 1992, civil war raged in Mozambique.

Combatants planted thousands of land mines that have remained dangerous long after the conflict ended. In recent years, a new ally has emerged in the quest to address the problem: rats that are trained to find the hidden explosives so that human colleagues can defuse them. The expert sniffers don’t weigh enough to detonate the mines, so they’re ideal to play the role of saviors.

I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Leo. You’ll get help and support from a surprising or seemingly unlikely source.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Imagine a stairway that leads nowhere; as you ascend, you realize that at the top is not a door or a hallway, but a wall. I suspect that lately you may have been dealing with a metaphorical version of an anomaly like this. But I also predict that in the coming weeks some magic will transpire that will change everything. It’s like you’ll find a button on the wall that when pushed opens a previously imperceptible door. Somehow, you’ll gain entrance through an apparent obstruction.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Not all of the classic works of great literature are entertaining. According to one survey of editors, writers, and librarians, Goethe’s Faust, Melville’s Moby Dick, and

Cervantes’ Don Quixote are among the most boring masterpieces ever written. But most experts agree that they’re still valuable to read. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to commune with other dull-but-meaningful things. Seek out low-key but rich offerings. Be aware that unexciting people and situations may offer clues and catalysts that you need.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Many of you Scorpios regard secrecy as a skill worth cultivating. It serves your urge to gather and manage power. You’re aware that information is a valuable commodity, so you guard it carefully and share it sparingly.

This predilection sometimes makes you seem understated, even shy. Your hesitancy to express too much of your knowledge and feelings may influence people to underestimate the intensity that seethes within you.

Having said all that, I’ll now predict that you’ll show the world who you are with more dazzle and flamboyance in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how you do that as you also try to heed your rule that information is power.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sagittarian actress and producer Deborra-Lee Furness has been married to megastar actor Hugh Jackman for 23 years. Their wedding rings are inscribed with a motto that blends Sanskrit and English, “Om paramar to the mainamar.” Hugh and Deborah-Lee say it means, “We dedicate our union to a greater source.” In resonance with current astrological omens, I invite you to engage in a similar gesture with an important person in your life.

Now is a marvelous time to deepen and sanctify your relationship by pledging yourselves to a higher purpose or beautiful collaboration or sublime mutual quest.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 In 1997, a supercomputer named Deep Blue won six chess matches against Chess Grand Master Gary Kasparov. In 2016, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) device called AlphaGo squared off against human champion Lee Sodol in a best-of-five series of the Chinese board game Go. AlphaGo crushed Sodol, four games to one.

But there is at least one cerebral game in which human intelligence still reigns supreme: the card game known as bridge. No AI has as yet beat the best bridge players.

I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I am sure that in the coming weeks, no AI could out-think and out-strategize you as you navigate your way through life’s tests and challenges. You’ll be smarter than ever.

P.S.: I’m guessing your acumen will be extra soulful, as well.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 At regular intervals, a hot stream of boiling water shoots up out of the Earth and into the sky in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. It’s a geyser called Old Faithful. The steamy surge can reach a height of 185 feet and last for 5 minutes. When white settlers first discovered this natural phenomenon in the 19th century, some of them used it as a laundry. Between blasts, they’d place their dirty clothes in Old Faithful’s aperture. When the scalding flare erupted, it provided all the necessary cleansing. I’d love to see you attempt a metaphorically similar feat, Aquarius: harness a natural force for a practical purpose, or a primal power for an earthly task.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Who was the model for Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting Mona Lisa? Many scholars think it was Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. Leonardo wanted her to feel comfortable during the long hours she sat for him, so he hired musicians to play for her and people with mellifluous voices to read her stories. He built a musical fountain for her to gaze upon and a white Persian cat to cuddle. If it were within my power, I would arrange something similar for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because I’d love to see you be calmed and soothed for a concentrated period of time; to feel perfectly at ease, at home in the world, surrounded by beautiful influences you love. In my opinion, you need and deserve such a break from the everyday frenzy.

Talk to Scarlett and Daniel Wolford!

The UN’s latest climate report claims we have 12 years to dramatically transform our economy and lifestyles to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millenia.

We need a massive mobilization of every sector of society on par with what science and justice demand. Local activist groups have already taken the initiative, but we need more people across a wider spectrum of backgrounds to speak up.

We need the parents of young children too young to speak for themselves and local high

school and college students to demand action.

These are the futures most jeopardized.

A Green New Deal will keep Americans safe from climate change and create millions of green jobs. It is common sense policy that is overwhelmingly popular with American people, regardless of political party or where they live.

SANTA CRUZ SUN GROWN Akasha Apothecary uses folk herbalist methods, like solar infusions of organic herbs and CBD, to create organic CBD products.

Tenacious CBD

F

rom Willie Nelson’s infused coffee beans to mascara and dog treats, CBD is the latest buzzy product that brands are promoting as the next big cure-all. But is the hempor cannabis-derived substance officially known as “cannabidiol” a new form of snake oil, or can CBD really cure us of our 2019 ailments?

When cannabis first became legal in California, I went to a local dispensary in hopes of finding a topical CBD cream, as suggested

by a friend to help relieve wrist pain. A clerk handed me a tiny, $60 pot of orange-flavored cream. Any non-orange types? “No, that’s the only one we have right now—it’s flying off the shelves.” There was a massive warning label saying something about cancer and birth defects. Oh great, that makes me feel good.

This stuff reeked of sickly sweet concentrated orange, like the worst-flavored Starburst. It was sticky, and it didn’t absorb or rub

in, so all I could do was apply, plug my nose and wait for it to soak in.

I didn’t want to be a believer, but it actually did help.

Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is non-psychoactive, but it’s still known for medicinal aid. From relieving post-New Year’s workout soreness to more serious medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis and seizures, CBD converts position the stuff as something of a miracle elixir.

“The science is becoming more

Cosmetics, coffee, dog treats—is CBD a cure-all or 2019’s snake oil? BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

and more recognized, and as we lift layers of prohibition, we will be able to see a lot more of that research being done,” says Pat Malo, executive director of GreenTrade Santa Cruz, a local cannabis-industry organization.

“From the medical cannabis community, we have seen so many people come through and say the topical use has made the difference for their arthritis and skin conditions.”

CBD options have expanded since my orange-scented ordeal. There are edible CBD gummies, hemp oils and terpenes, not to mention the fancy face lotions and creams available from big-name brands like Kiehl’s, which you don’t need to buy at a dispensary. According to a recent Fortune article based on Cowen and Co. analysis, nearly 7 percent of Americans use CBD, setting the stage for a market worth of around $16 billion by 2025.

Alissa Maya Meredith is one local small business owner who’s ventured into the wide world of CBD with her company Akasha Apothecary. With her love of gardening and background in cannabis farming, Maya Meredith created Akasha Apothecary’s CBD products to relieve and heal in a more holistic, natural way—that also smells good.

“I wanted people to know what mainstream products actually do to their skin. I used ‘natural’ products and had an adverse reaction, and so who do you call? The 800 number?

Or email Johnson & Johnson?” she says. “You are just another number on a list of people who have had similar experiences. That’s scary.”

Maya Meredith has a garden in the Santa Cruz Mountains where she grows and harvests ingredients for her products, which vary based on what’s in season. She sells her body butter, oils, bath soaks and more in local businesses, including Estrella Collective and Om Gallery.

Because her products contain less than .3 percent THC, they do not need to be sold exclusively in a dispensary.

She is also starting to offer CBD massages, and hopes to eventually 12> open her own local brick-

“The unregulated products that are available in some places are not U.S.-grown.

The quality of that isn’t necessarily the same as locally grown CBD in the medical dispensaries and stores. The purity—what it might be contaminated with—is unknown for a lot of non-U.S.-sourced products that are popping up in unregulated places or the internet.” -ALISSA MAYA MEREDITH <11 and-mortar wellness space. Having tried her body butter and salves, I can say that the local sourcing and herbs makes all the difference when it comes to feel and smell— let alone relief for sore joints and visible improvement of skin blemishes and scarring.

Maya Meredith says that in the last few years, she’s seen people become a lot more open to experimenting with CBD, including numerous clients who have bought products for grandparents who may have viewed CBD’s association with cannabis as a stigma in the past.

But this wide-reaching adoption also means there are CBD products out there that aren’t necessarily the best quality. There are CBD pills and candies for sale in gas stations, beauty salons and all corners of the internet, many sourced from overseas and unregulated. Buyers don’t always know what, or how much, they’re getting.

“The unregulated products that are available in some places are not U.S.-grown. The quality of that isn’t necessarily the same as locally grown CBD in the medical dispensaries and stores,” Malo says. “The purity—what it might be contaminated with—is unknown for a lot of non-U.S.-sourced products that are popping up in unregulated places or the internet.”

A recent study by the National Center for Biotechnology

Information found that nearly 70 percent of CBD products purchased online were inaccurately labelled.

It’s because of this unknown that small businesses like Akasha Apothecary are combating mass production with local, organic ingredients.

Maya Meredith believes that some people are probably experimenting with their own usage based on word of mouth, since CBD still isn’t tested in the same way that pharmaceuticals are. The Food and Drug Administration has approved only one drug containing CBD, Epidiolex, prescribed for treating seizures. The National Institutes of Health lists more than 500 ongoing and complete CBD-based studies, many of which have shown promise to help relieve epilepsy, opioid addiction, arthritis, and many other ailments.

While government labs and regulators debate where to go from here, CBD entrepreneurs like Maya Meredith are optimistic about the future.

“Santa Cruz is blessed in that we have so many amazing holistic and alternative medicines such as CBD and cannabis products,” she says. “I love creating products that are from the Earth that truly help people.”

NEWS CAMP OF APPROVAL Santa Cruz City Council extends life of homeless camp behind Ross store, but doesn’t declare new emergency or lift parking ban

MARCH 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

Amy Lebichuck, a social worker for Santa Cruz County, has made a point of getting more involved in local politics over the past couple months.

To a newcomer, it’s a strange scene.

She told the Santa Cruz City Council on the night of Tuesday, Feb. 26 that she was, “really disturbed to see the two polarized camps” that showed up to weigh in on homeless issues that evening.

“I see folks who are really concerned about safety, and I see folks who are really concerned about social justice issues and human rights,” Lebichuck said. “We all want the same things. As a woman, I want to feel safe walking around town at night.”

Lebichuck implored homeless advocates in the room to be patient, telling them that progress could not happen overnight.

She challenged those who have opposed the city’s homeless camp plans to show an openness toward trying out different programs that might alleviate the pain of those living outside and in their cars.

At a meeting that stretched until 1 a.m., the council ultimately voted to extend the life of the Gateway Plaza encampment, sometimes known as the Ross camp, where dozens of tents have clustered near the San Lorenzo Riverwalk. The camp now will stay open until the city assembles alternative services and new shelter options. The change in direction was decided by a 4-3 vote, with the support of Vice Mayor Justin Cummings, Councilmember Drew Glover, Councilmember Sandy Brown, and Councilmember Chris Krohn. The council had previously signaled that it would close the Gateway encampment by March 15.

Cummings said he’s heard from community members that even if the camp is not perfect, it does provide a home base for those in need. “This year has been exceptionally wet and cold, and if we didn’t have this type of shelter, we may have actually been dealing with more deaths from people getting hypothermia,” said Cummings, who visits the camp a few times a week. >18

Elevating Their Game New UCSC master’s program trains students to create games for improving health and education BY ALISHA GREEN

A

s a butterfly floats around the screen of a virtual reality headset, the woman wearing the device moves her arms to control a protective crystal ball, keeping the butterfly’s wings dry from the coming rain. If it sounds like a futuristic game, that’s because it is. But the player’s real-world movements also double as physical therapy.

This is just one scenario playing out on the UCSC campus that highlights the intersection of gaming and more serious endeavors, like rehabilitation for stroke survivors or people with other physical impairments. While the

repetitiveness of regular physical therapy can come to feel like a chore, using a game to engage people in that therapy can spark a new excitement in them, says Sri Kurniawan, a computational media professor at UCSC. This type of game falls under a broader category known as “serious games,” or games designed with a primary purpose other than entertainment. While the games may still be entertaining, that playfulness engages the player in ultimately achieving some other goal.

Those who learned to type on a keyboard with “Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing,” studied geography

while investigating fictional crimes in “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” or navigated logic-based puzzles with blue, grape-shaped characters in “Zoombinis” are already familiar with some of the early serious games that emerged in the education space in the ’80s and ’90s.

Serious games are also designed to guide users through workplace training, educate them on social and political issues, and help them improve their health and well-being.

Students will be learning how to develop the next generations of such projects in the new UCSC master’s program on serious games launching this fall. The program joins one >16

It’s an opportunity for students to be in a more relatable environment, too. A student who wanted to design serious games could feel like the odd person out among peers focused on entertainment games, Whitehead says, since they’re not always as engaged in mainstream gamer culture or familiar with the design references to entertainment games.

There’s already been such a positive response to the new program that UCSC is reopening its admission window.

significant interest in the potential to apply games “outside of the realm of mere entertainment” and use them to tackle societal challenges such as education and health, says Jim Whitehead, professor and chair of computational media at UCSC. “We are in this really fortunate position where a lot of schools that are starting to get into games are just initially trying to cover the bases, but we have the ability and luxury now to dive in and get really specialized and to have a degree program as focused as serious games,” he says.

In the era of debates over a Green New Deal, environmentally friendly California is due for an overhaul on reducing, reusing and recycling.

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors joined a call last month to support the creation of a statewide recycling commission that would make recommendations on addressing the cratering market for recyclable materials. And on Thursday, March 7, the local Integrated Waste Management Local Task Force will consider an ambitious agenda for tackling a range of plastic pollution problems—cigarette butts, plastic water bottles, microfibers—at the Watsonville City Council Chambers.

On a larger scale, California’s city and county governments have officially gotten word that they have less than three years to implement curbside pick-up programs for compostable food scraps in order to meet the state’s greenhouse gas reduction targets. Government leaders around the state don’t have much of an idea how they’re going to implement that on the current timeline.

Meanwhile, piles of

compostable cutlery and takeout containers are going to the dump everyday, due to the lack of any local curbside organics collection—as GT reported last year—and the amount of trash that Santa Cruz County residents are sending to the landfill is trending upward. In a liberal community where environmentalists fight over every yard of road widening, there has been relative silence on compostable scraps offgassing methane and carbon dioxide as local dumps fill up ahead of schedule.

While Santa Cruz may be ahead of what many other California governments are doing, the county’s task force nonetheless has its work cut out for it. Godspeed, guys.

It would be cliché to say that talk is cheap, but idle chit chat in this department is worth about as much as a used to-go container at a regional recycling facility.

So yeah, absolutely worthless.

ASSEMBLY LINE County Supervisor Zach Friend is participating in the third Saving Democracy event, which is happening Thursday, March 21 at Cabrillo College, to talk bipartisanship and smart governance.

This is, of course, the same Zach Friend who makes frequent appearances on Fox News—and occasionally on other cable news networks—chiming in as a former Obama campaign spokesperson, serving up inoffensive sound bites and defending liberal values.

Not to be outdone, Ryan Coonerty, one of Friend’s fellow supervisors, launched a podcast this past September. His show, “An Honorable Profession,” is going strong, with the supervisor interviewing politicians from around the country about running for office and government issues. Coonerty has interviewed everyone from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf to South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, now a presidential candidate.

What a clever way to learn the tricks of the trade!

Nuz is not here to judge political climbers. We just want to state that it’s steadily gotten more obvious that these two ambitious rising stars are raising their profiles while they think hard about running for higher office— something that those who know the two of them personally will tell you in conversation, anyway.

However, according to Nuz’s super-speculative crystal ball, the next rung on the political ladder may not open up for several years.

Congress doesn’t have term limits, and U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel) is only a couple of years into his legislative career.

State Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) is about to get termed out, although the popular former Resources Secretary John Laird is running for that spot. We hate to make anyone sound like a shoo-in, but it would be difficult for any Democrat on the planet (literally, any Dem not named Barack Obama) to give Laird a run for his money in this district. And Laird could hypothetically hold the seat through 2028. If nothing changes, the next opening might not come up until 2024, when Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) would term out.

That’s still five years away, which could amount to a lot of podcast episodes and cable news interviews in the meantime.

Of course, many things could happen between now and then.

More would-be candidates will emerge over the next halfdecade, including some from Monterey County, but the new media landscape is already getting awfully crowded for any of you other strapping young hopefuls out there looking to carve out a niche.

CAMP OF APPROVAL <14

18

Homeless advocates in the audience cheered the decision, which came despite concerns about public safety from neighbors and nearby businesses, as well as law enforcement officials, who said that the camp’s layout can make emergencyresponse efforts challenging.

The council took four other votes that evening, including one to ask city staff to come back on March 12 with a complete list of possible locations for transitional encampments and safe parking programs. It directed staff to share information with the county, encouraging maximum collaboration between the two governments. Additionally, the council chose to ask staff for information on how its chosen direction works within the framework of the city charter.

A proposal from Glover to establish a state of homeless emergency failed 5-2, with only Glover and Krohn supporting it. The impact of Glover’s suggested declaration was unclear, and it overlapped with a shelter crisis designation that was already in place. The council didn’t vote on a proposal from Glover to lift an overnight parking ban on Delaware Avenue. Many Westside neighbors came out against that idea, some of them holding up signs

that said “Don’t Trash Natural Bridges” and “Vote No on Delaware.” Krohn and Councilmember Donna Meyers both said they opposed the change.

The meeting had a huge turnout, with two long lines wrapping around City Hall.

In addition to homeless supporters and public safety advocates, the meeting drew immigration activists ready to talk about a recent raid, and union reps eager to talk contracts. Then there were supporters of Mayor Martine Watkins and of Councilmember Drew Glover, after the mayor had called Glover out for alleged sexism and bullying (see page 20) two weeks earlier.

Voting didn’t begin until nearly midnight.

The councilmembers piled one vote on after another. A few councilmembers introduced carefully wordsmithed amendments to try and improve on one another’s motions. As the pace of deliberation picked up, the members kept asking one another for clarification, and at one point, the council had two overlapping motions on the floor concurrently, prompting confusion about which should be withdrawn.

Members of the council and staff looked quizzically at one another.

During public comment, impassioned remarks veered away from the policies in play, as homeless individuals shared stories

about what it’s like to be homeless while pregnant or homeless as a parent. The mother of an 8-year-old said she suffers from Asperger Syndrome and doesn’t qualify for any mental health services. She worries that she may slip into her fifth bout of homelessness if her landlord raises her rent.

Michael Spadafora, who owns Java Junction coffee house in Gateway Plaza, says the encampment has taken a toll on businesses around the corner.

Petsmart employees have had their tires slashed and their cars broken into, he says. Spadafora says he feels bad for everyone living in the camp and would prefer a transitional encampment with a zero-tolerance policy. Nonetheless, he adds that he’s had to close his bathroom after repeated thrashings, and says that Ross has been hiring additional security guards and loss-prevention employees as well.

“Those stores lose $500-1,000 a day through theft,” he says. “All of our employees are afraid to park in our lot. They’re afraid to go to work. They’re afraid that the customer they’re dealing with at the counter is gonna throw coffee on them. Does somebody have an answer why we’re the ones that have to deal with this? None of you do. The police officers do when they come, but it takes them 15 minutes to get there.”

at UCSC’s Silicon Valley Campus in Santa Clara, and span five academic quarters. Classes will cover game design, game technology, integrating subject-matter knowledge, measuring the efficacy of games, effective teamwork, and career planning. Students will also complete a capstone project.

The five-quarter structure means students will finish around late March of their second year. That’s a good time for them to start looking for jobs in the games industry, Whitehead says, since it’s often when game companies ramp up hiring for new projects.

They’ll enter what’s projected to be a rapidly growing industry, too. The worldwide market for game-based learning products and services is expected to reach $17 billion by 2023, according to research company Metaari.

While the official track dedicated to serious games is new, UCSC faculty are familiar with the field. Kurniawan’s career includes more than 10 years working in serious games. She joined UCSC in 2007 with a focus on assistive technology, or software targeted toward helping people with disabilities. But soon after arriving on campus, she says she was contacted by medical professionals across the state about developing more playful ways to help people with disabilities perform daily tasks. Ideas ranged from games for rehabilitation of stroke survivors to games that would offer social-emotional learning for people with autism.

“Gradually we moved into serious games at a time that the phrase was not commonly known,” Kurniawan says.

One of the most important parts of developing serious games, like the “Project Butterfly” virtual reality game for stroke survivors, is drawing on the knowledge of people who understand the game’s real-world goal and what it takes to achieve it. In “Project Butterfly’s” case, that means talking to the patients, caregivers and medical professionals who all interact with the game.

“Game designers and software application designers sometimes don’t really understand the importance, or even the type of outcomes that are

desired,” Kurniawan says.

The games are also usually meant to complement more conventional ways of performing a task, Kurniawan adds, so it’s important for designers to understand how the game ties into other activities. Some of the new master’s program courses will be aimed at training students to understand how to appropriately and accurately get user input.

Students will not necessarily need a technical background to join the program, Kurniawan says.

Faculty envision that students from different domains who want to understand more about games will enroll along with game designers who already understand the basics of games, but want to focus that knowledge on social good. The program’s speakers will include people from various backgrounds.

Another aspect of serious games that’s more specialized than the rest of the gaming industry is evaluating outcomes, says Michael John, a teaching professor of computational media at UCSC. He was in the commercial games industry for more than 20 years before joining UCSC about four years ago.

Measuring the effects of serious games is very difficult, John says.

Usually, it involves looking at people who’ve played the game and people who haven’t and seeing how they differ. The “holy grail” of measuring outcomes in serious games, though, is that the game itself can report on a player’s progress, John says.

With that challenging task in front of them, students will come out of the master’s program with an empirical mindset for developing games, or creating user experiences more broadly, then measuring their effectiveness.

One of the most exciting things about teaching in existing gaming programs at UCSC is seeing the novelty of deas student are already bringing to serious games, John says. They often want to create games about political situations that are important to them, for example, or other personally relatable topics like women’s rights or understanding wildfire risks.

They believe games can change the world, John says. Now it’s officially game on—for the greater good.

CRINGE MOVEMENT

Allegations of bullying, sexism and Trumpian tactics rattle Santa Cruz City Hall and the local political scene BY JACOB PIERCE

GRITTY COUNCIL Mayor Martine Watkins (center) called

out councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover (third and fourth from left) at a Feb. 12 meeting for what some saw as sexist bullying behavior. PHOTO: CEBE LOOMIS

But before getting into the details, Mayor Martine Watkins reminded everyone that councilmembers need to be honest, open-minded and respectful of one another.

“Perceptions that are unnamed and go unaddressed can further divide us,” she said, “and my hope is to bring us together.”

Reading from a prepared

statement in front of her, Watkins glanced down occasionally while addressing the crowd. She said she felt that Councilmember Drew Glover had been trying to bully her into placing his own list of homeless-related items onto that evening’s agenda. His list included reopening city parks, overhauling overnight parking rules, creating

Meanwhile, $10 million in state funding for homelessness was set to come down the pike for local communities like Santa Cruz.

new transitional encampments, and reconsidering an additional 20-odd homeless ordinances. Glover had support on those items from fellow councilmembers Chris Krohn and Sandy Brown, but he submitted a rough draft of his ideas after the deadline. Watkins got the list on the day of her agenda review meeting, and the schedule for what would go on to be a 13-hour meeting was already full. So after the agenda got finalized without his items, Glover took Facebook and Twitter, writing a blog post titled “The Fierce Urgency of Now.” Glover accused his colleagues on the council of showing “a severe lack of urgency.” He called on his supporters to write Watkins and pressure her to prioritize the items he called for as soon as possible. The mayor stood her ground.

As she spoke at the Tuesday, Feb. 12 meeting, Glover and Krohn whispered to each other. At one point, the audience guffawed at the notion that Glover tried to “smear” her character. Watkins told the crowd that it was her turn to speak.

“I also understand,” Watkins continued, “that there are perceptions that my colleagues, both Councilmember Krohn and Councilmember Glover, are intentionally bullying me because I’m a woman.”

Glover threw his head back and let out a heavy sigh in apparent disbelief.

Watkins intentionally didn’t say whether or not she agreed with these perceptions, but the statement was clear.

The tension comes a few months after Glover prevailed, along with new Vice Mayor Justin Cummings in a November election, where he had promised big changes. The new fourperson majority has the authority to implement policy shifts, but the procedural framework haven’t changed, nor has the makeup or size of Santa Cruz’s city staff.

Former Santa Cruz Mayor Cynthia Chase supports Watkins’ decision to speak up, although she says that not everyone has been so encouraging.

In the days following the meeting, Chase, who served alongside Krohn, heard a lot of second-guessing of Watkins, who was the top vote-

<21 getter in the 2016 City Council election and works for county’s Office of Education. And it hasn’t sat well with her.

“And this is supposed to be a liberal community? You don’t have to agree with Martine’s comments, but you can at least listen to her,” Chase says. “Would she actually say this if it wasn’t true? She has done nothing to show that she would make up a story.”

Most local officials who have spoken about the issue in the weeks since the meeting have defended Watkins.

But Glover says his feelings were hurt when Watkins singled him and Krohn out publicly. Glover felt blindsided by her comments, he says, but has tried to move past them. While he stops short of saying that he deserves an apology, he invokes Martin Luther King, saying that he’s forgiven Watkins for what she said.

“For me one of the first steps is forgiveness, and I want to move forward in the centering of forgiveness,” he says. “Not only for

the mayor, but also for myself, to be as constructive and productive as possible.”

Glover says that he’s an avowed feminist, noting that he served for more than a year on the Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women (CPVAW). Krohn appointed him in 2017.

Glover also says he’s hoping to chat with Watkins about what he did wrong, and how to prevent incidents like this in the future. Watkins, who stands by her comments, says she has spoken with Glover, and that she would be happy to do so again.

BLAME SPIRAL Though Watkins has declined to go into detail about what specifically happened between her and the other councilmembers, some community members feel that a troubling pattern has begun to emerge.

One councilmember has filed a formal complaint against Glover, who took office in early December, under the Respectful Workplace Conduct policy, which the council

CRINGE MOVEMENT reason, he argued, so that individual councilmembers can’t force their own ideas onto an agenda to the detriment of all other priorities.

Then, the Sentinel ran a proWatkins op-ed from nine women— some of them deeply involved in politics, including local Democratic Women's Club President Carol Fuller, School Board Trustee Deb TracyProulx, Capitola City Councilmember Yvette Brooks, and Rachel Dann, a county analyst for Coonerty. (Brooks is a coworker of Watkins’ and also ran her 2016 council campaign.)

Glover says members of the political establishment are only criticizing his behavior because he is “challenging the power structure” in local government. He draws a parallel to how critics at the national level have lobbed criticisms for newly elected democratic socialist U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), who’s taken strong stances on taxes, immigration reform and climate change.

“I’m disappointed in Supervisor Coonerty,” he says. “I’m disappointed in former Mayor Lane.

I’m disappointed in Mike Rotkin, but that is what was to be expected when I came into this office.”

Other politicians have weighed in, as well. Former Councilmember Richelle Noroyan, who lost a reelection bid in November, put up a Facebook post summarizing stories she had heard two years earlier.

Noroyan says that during her time on the council, three feminist women requested that she not support Glover’s appointment to the Commission for the CPVAW. Each recounted stories of how he spoke to them in a harsh manner compared to how he addressed men, she says, but they asked her not to reveal their identities.

Glover dismisses those claims as “vagueities.”

“I find it hard to appreciate Richelle Noroyan’s criticism,” he says.

In all, Glover says he enjoys being on the council, “minus all this unnecessary drama from people who are supposed to be ‘leaders in our community,’” he says, flexing his fingers to signify air quotes.

adopted two years ago. GT made a request under California Public Records Act for complaints against councilmembers under the city’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy, approved by the council less than two years ago. Records Coordinator Kelly Thompson says in an email that all relevant records are currently in draft and note form and therefore not public. “The public interest in withholding the record clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure due to the particular details and nature of the records,” she writes.

Other individuals have stepped up to defend Glover. The Santa Cruz Sentinel ran a letter on Feb. 16 from former City Councilmember Micah Posner arguing that Watkins was wrong not to agendize Glover’s submission. “Instead of bringing up gender politics,” the mayor “should apologize for her error,” he wrote.

“People of all genders make mistakes,” Posner explained.

A couple of days later, the paper ran a response letter from District 3 county Supervisor Ryan Coonerty defending Watkins. “Micah Posner’s letter asking Mayor Watkins to apologize for saying she felt bullied

by Councilmen Glover and Krohn is a disgrace,” wrote the two-time Santa Cruz mayor.

He noted that it is the mayor’s job to set the agenda, and Coonerty felt that “she did her job well.”

“More importantly, the mayor called out a pattern of bullying over the last months, not just related to political differences of the last week,” Coonerty wrote. “I’ve heard the same concerns from a dozen women who’ve watched or are involved with city government. Their concerns need to be respected.”

Over the next few days, Councilmember Donna Meyers voiced her support for the mayor in a letter of her own, saying that Watkins was right to speak out.

Former Mayor Don Lane and his wife Mary Howe wrote their own letter reminding readers that claims of sexism should be taken seriously.

Former five-time Mayor Mike Rotkin reaffirmed that it’s the mayor’s job to set the agenda—and for good

Gender aside, former Watkins says she sees another troubling trend. They draw parallels between Glover’s recent political approach and that of President Donald Trump—using a divisive, scorchedEarth strategy to declare crisis, create a villain, and try to secure funding as quickly as possible. Chase says she has seen Krohn use similar tactics.

Glover calls such charges against himself and Krohn “laughable,” and says that his critics are only trying to compare him to Trump because the president is so reviled. “What’s worse in Santa Cruz than being compared to Trump?” he asks.

MEET AND GRIT Chase does not look back on certain aspects of her four-year run on the City Council—which ended in 2018—fondly. For one thing, she says she recalls Krohn putting constant pressure on her to do what he wanted, demanding long meetings with her every week and talking over her in City Council meetings.

“His behavior was incredibly aggressive—very harassing, bullying—to try to get his own agenda to happen,” says Chase, acknowledging that she wasn’t always able to get items heard at Krohn’s preferred meetings. “For me, it’s never personal about those things. I’m always trying. Nobody gets special treatment. We’re trying to do the business of the city, not no one individual’s agenda.”

She adds that the behavior of her former colleagues, Krohn included, was one reason she decided not to run for re-election last year.

During her year as mayor in 2017, Chase remembers one time in particular, when she says Krohn asked to attend an agenda-review meeting. Agenda review is the when the mayor meets with staff to decide which items will be discussed at any given council meeting. The two argued about whether or not Krohn could join, with Chase explaining to him that it would it would be unfair to extend that courtesy to one councilmember without also

extending it to all members. When Krohn showed up at the meeting unannounced, Chase says she asked Krohn if the two of them could speak privately, and when he said no, she decided she had no choice but to cancel the meeting.

Krohn says he doesn’t understand why those agenda-review rules are such a big deal, and that he sat in on an agenda-review meeting during his previous stint on the council many years prior. He pushed in recent years for a change to the agendizing rules, so that three councilmembers at a time would rotate in and out of the review meetings, but it failed.

In general, Chase says she was surprised that Krohn was so pushy with her. She felt like the two of them shared progressive values and concerns about the homeless.

The following year, her fellow councilmember David Terrazas took over as mayor, serving for one year just like she did. Chase felt that Krohn went far easier on Terrazas in council meetings than Krohn had been on her—interrupting him less and being less disruptive—even though he and Terrazas have less in common politically. Noroyan agrees. Chase says, in recent council meetings, that Krohn has been treating Watkins the way he treated her.

Terrazas says he’s not sure that’s true. Although he generally enjoyed working with Krohn, he says he’s not sure that Krohn treated him any differently. Terrazas explains that he tried to handle any potential issues before council meetings got underway. “I did my best to and schedule one-on-one discussions and address his concerns to prevent them from spilling out into the public,” says Terrazas, who adds that he fully supports Watkins and says there should be an investigation into whether there was misconduct.

Krohn says in an email that he’s “very sorry Mayor Chase felt disrespected,” and that he has no ill will toward her. He campaigned for her in 2014, he says, and had one of her signs on his lawn.

Krohn says he appreciated that Terrazas made a point of reaching

CRINGE MOVEMENT

“They don’t ever question themselves, because, ‘Look, I’m so woke when it comes to women’s issues. I couldn’t possibly do those bad things.’” - RICHELLE NOROYAN

SEAT SPOT Internal disagreements aside, some of the homelessness proposals that Glover suggested are moving ahead with the blessing of the City Council (see page 14). Other items have stalled, due to lack of interest from other councilmembers.

When it comes to gender equity, Noroyan, a former chair for the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party, says she hopes what transpired last month can be “a teachable moment” for Glover and Krohn. She believes that sometimes men on the political

left are so confident in the feminist politics they preach that they don’t take time to self-reflect and ask themselves if they are truly living up to the values they espouse.

“They don’t ever question themselves, because, ‘Look, I’m so woke when it comes to women’s issues. I couldn’t possibly do those bad things,’” she says.

That, she believes, is what’s going on with Glover and Krohn.

Noroyan admits that she had her own mea culpa moments when she was on the council. She earned scorn, for instance, when she lost her temper at a 2016 Coastal Commission meeting and was asked to leave. She says she always tried to learn from her mistakes. Noroyan isn’t sure she sees a self-reflective approach in the way Glover and Krohn carry themselves, but she hopes they can do the same.

Krohn writes that “of course” he believes he has the capacity to look back and grow from any missteps.

Glover says that, at the end of the day, the commotion has served as little more than a distraction from the work that he and his colleagues want to get done to improve the lives of city residents. There seems to be consensus on that idea.

Watkins says she wants to move forward as well. The City Council, she says, has work to do.

“We have work to do on so many issues that are important for our city,” Watkins says. “I hope that this can allow us to move in a positive direction. There are so many possibilities. That’s the beauty of local governance. You can see and feel ways to have an impact.”

out to him even when Krohn was in the minority, as he often was last year. Krohn adds that he hopes that he has been equally direct with each mayor, regardless of gender.

Chase says that she wasn’t the only councilwoman who bore the brunt of Krohn’s hard-nosed tactics.

She says she saw Krohn be “verbally abusive” to Councilmember Sandy Brown, one of his allies, pressuring her to vote the way he wanted her to.

“I care for Sandy as a person, but we all witnessed it. It’s not a secret.

But there’s not a lot we can do about it,” Chase says. “It’s very shitty to be in her position: ‘I wanted you to do something, and you didn’t. How dare you.’”

Brown disagrees, telling GT she has no problem with Krohn’s behavior or political style.

“There are different ways of communication,” says Brown, who adds that she misses Chase dearly.

“Chris and Drew have a much more direct way of communication. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

It’s never made me uncomfortable.”

decide.) Yet it is O’Keeffe and Stieglitz who emerge most indelibly. Their mercurial, often maniacal devotion to their art and to each other practically leaps off Burke’s absorbing pages.

Eager to establish himself as an arbiter of the American avant garde, Stieglitz initiated the influential 291 gallery on Fifth Avenue after the Great War. Stieglitz’s quest for new talent led him to O’Keeffe, a young school teacher. Upon first seeing her charcoal drawings in 1915, he exclaimed, “Finally, a woman on paper. A woman gives herself.”

The moment when O’Keeffe and Stieglitz caught fire, both personally and professionally, came at the 1918 exhibition of his nude photographs.

The sensual photographs of O’Keeffe’s torso and breasts created a media sensation. From then on, their careers became the stuff of gossip, praise and legend.

The central core of Burke’s research, including key illustrations, chronicles the years from 1920-1934, during which the four companions wove a web of mutual flirtation, seduction, artistic experimentation, jealousy, betrayal, and fame.

Burke quotes lavishly from what must have been a blizzard of letters among the four, as well as their other paramours. Wary of being psychoanalyzed by male critics, O’Keeffe hoped for a female interpreter, and in the late ’20s approached Mabel Dodge, whose artist colony at Taos had hosted D.H. Lawrence, Carl Jung and Henry Miller.

“I feel there is something unexplored about women that only a woman can explore,” O’Keeffe wrote to Dodge.

Taos enchanted both O’Keeffe and Salsbury, who drove out to New Mexico together in the spring of 1929.

“We have had a beautiful relationship together, and feel the need of nobody else,” Beck wrote to her husband. “I am entirely myself in her company.”

Over the course of endless

transformative discoveries, O’Keeffe’s work became internationally famous.

The shadow of Stieglitz was long indeed, but not long enough to contain the willful and promiscuous O’Keeffe, whose genius was matched by her stunning independence.

She was the first woman to have a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, in 1946. As Stieglitz—23 years her senior—grew crusty and narcissistic, O’Keeffe reinvented herself and her interests in New Mexico, eventually moving there permanently while Stieglitz found new female acolytes to tend his hearth and other needs. But as the letters show, their love was strong and passionate to the very end of Stieglitz’s life in 1946 at the age of 81.

O’Keeffe flourished for another 40 years as a painter, proto-feminist, and connoisseur of the southwest.

Her own fame ebbed and flowed, but what emerges most vibrantly in Burke’s text is O’Keeffe’s courage in rejecting the status quo. The book shows us a woman unafraid to love deeply without ever objectifying herself for a man’s approval—a stunning achievement in any era.

While we never catch as full a glimpse of Salsbury, Burke’s pages show her as a woman in pursuit of elusive accomplishment. Similarly, the methodical Strand seems to have stultified true fulfillment. Stieglitz emerges as a man of great power and influence, yet Foursome’s letters and Burke’s analysis show him to be an unlikeable neurotic and controlling keeper of his own legacy.

The courageous biographer must take her subjects—flaws, strengths and all—and shape them into fleshand-blood moments of history.

Burke succeeds brilliantly.

Carolyn Burke will read from and sign her new book ‘Foursome’ at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, at Bookshop Santa Cruz, bookshopsantacruz.com/ carolynburke.

HOW THE WEDNESDAYS WERE WON The house band for Western Wednesdays at the Crepe Place.

Go Western MARCH 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Crepe Place’s Western Wednesdays have been a key piece of the local country wave BY AARON CARNES

30

O

ver the past decade, Santa Cruz has fostered a healthy Americana scene.

But more recently, things have taken an unexpected turn toward the traditional with a wave of popular country and western artists.

We have newer acts like the Carolyn Sills Combo, Miss Lonely Hearts, Jesse Daniel, and McCoy Tyler, as well as longtime locals like Patti Maxine and Charlie Wallace that are increasingly in demand.

All of this local talent and public interest dramatically intersects at the Crepe Place’s monthly country and western series Western Wednesdays, which on March 13 will

begin its fifth year. The series was the brainchild of Mischa Gasch, who saw something similar up in Seattle when his band Miss Lonely Hearts was on tour.

“I was like, ‘Oh man, I wish we had something like that in Santa Cruz.

Because we also have a great music scene, and a lot of people loving this type of music,” Gasch says. “I don’t want to say I started old-time country music or honky-tonk music in Santa Cruz. It was already there. I just wanted to build a scene.”

Western Wednesdays helped to connect these bands with a local audience, and give fans a recurring showcase at which to see them.

Gasch worked to bring the culture of country and western to Santa Cruz by encouraging people to come dressed in their finest cowboy gear and ready to do some Texas two-step dance moves. It took a while to catch on, but these days, it’s a whole other world at Western Wednesdays, even when compared to country shows at other venues.

“You don’t just show up and stand in the back. People participate. You get dressed up, you bring a date, you dance,” says Carolyn Sills, who’s played several Western Wednesdays, including every show in the event’s third year as part of the backing band.

“It’s how you would imagine a barn

dance back in the day—everyone looked forward to the weekly dance at the town center. This kind of captured that old-school vibe.”

By year three, Gasch noticed that the event was really coming together. Shows were packed. People were coming every month, dressed up and dancing, creating a strong community vibe.

“It helps with the dancing when you know each other already. It started to feel like a family,” Gasch says. “I don't think we are excluding anyone. It feels really welcoming.

I just love going there and seeing familiar faces.”

Gasch did everything in his power to promote the event: radio ads, posters all over town. He offered discounted drinks and ticket prices to those who wore cowboy boots.

But the biggest hurdle was getting everyone to dance.

“I felt like everyone was really close to wanting to dance, but didn’t know how,” Gasch says.

His wife stepped up and started offering two-step dance classes, which also happen a few times a year at bigger shows at Moe’s Alley and Flynn’s. It all added to the momentum of an old-timey country music scene in town.

“Western Wednesdays, and Mike Lewinski started to do old-time music where you could square dance, which he did last year at the Blue Lagoon, all are smaller parts of this bigger picture,” says Gasch. “It’s growing and growing.”

There are some phenomenal dancers that come out to Western Wednesdays, meaning the band on stage is not the only show. But even if people don’t get lessons, Gasch encourages them to come out and be brave. He feels like it’s something anyone can do.

“Part of why I like that kind of dance so much is because it’s really easy. I’m able to teach it to a person that has never danced before. But you can also get better,” Gasch says.

“It’s fun on all kinds of levels.”

The next Western Wednesday will be held at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, and feature On The Tree. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10 door/$7 with cowboy boots. 429-6994.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SOLLOMON HOLLOW

When you listen to the chilled-out, melancholy, atmospheric self-titled Sollomon Hollow record, you can imagine a young man sitting alone in his room, lost in his head, lost in the lush layers of instruments that he’s laying down. It’s easy to picture, because that’s precisely how it came together.

At the time, Austin Sides was playing in other bands and wanted to record an album just for himself. “Looking back, it kind of sounds a little bit sad,” Sides says. “I wasn’t necessarily bummed out, I just wanted to make something that I could chill to more than the bands that I was listening to at the time.”

MARCH 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Since putting this little lo-fi indie gem out in mid-2017, Sollomon Hollow has become a three-piece band that gigs and even has a full-band EP coming out in the very near future, featuring four songs that the group recorded at a friend’s recording studio in Seattle.

38

“Playing shows changed the direction we were going a little bit. It’s more fun to play upbeat things that the crowd can jam out to,” says bassist and vocalist Megan Dodelé.

It’s not just the chemistry of the band, which also includes drummer Nick Leone. The more the group played live, the more they could see how their music was affecting the audience and how audiences were feeding their energy back.

“We like to play fun shows. We don’t like to stand around and play chill music,” Sides says. AARON CARNES 9 p.m. Friday, March 8. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7.

429-6994.

DANTE ELEPHANTE

WEDNESDAY 3/6 INDIE-FOLK

JAMIE DRAKE Los Angeles singer-songwriter Jamie Drake is happiest when she’s on stage, plucking an acoustic guitar for an attentive audience. But for a decade, she was primarily hidden in plain site as a collaborator of artists like Moby, Willie Watson and Sean Watkins. She’s also dabbled in film and television; she co-wrote the theme for the CW’s Life Sentence. Her career as a folk-oriented singer-songwriter was there, but she’s really taking steps to put that front and center these days. And judging by the couple of heartfelt ’70s Laurel Canyon-esque songs she’s already released from her upcoming 2019 album, this could be the year people start to learn her name. AC 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12. 429-6994.

ACOUSTIC

CLIVE CARROLL Clive Carroll is what’s known in the industry as a “musician's musician.”

Over the years, this extraordinary virtuoso has earned his place as one of the

world’s top acoustic guitarists. With a wealth of styles in his repertoire, from blues to jazz to 500-year-old lute ballads, it’s easy to see why Carroll caught the attention of stars such as Madonna and Guy Ritchie. MAT WEIR 7:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.

THURSDAY 3/7 BLUES

JORMA KAUKONEN Though he was a founding member of Jefferson Airplane, Jorma Kaukonen has always been more about the blues than psychedelia. But there is something distinctly peppy about the blues in Kaukonen’s hands. Bright and jaunty, his acoustic finger-pickings shimmer like morning dew, bending blues progressions toward the San Francisco folk style he defined in Hot Tuna. And though he won’t be joined by his frequent collaborator Jack Casady, a night with Kaukonen is a tour through half a century of Bay Area rock history. MIKE HUGUENOR 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz. $30. 423-8209.

JAZZ

REBIRTH BRASS BAND If you looked up the word “celebratory” in the dictionary, and it was a weird dictionary with pictures instead of definitions, you would find a picture of the Rebirth Brass Band. One of the truest institutions of the Big Easy, the Rebirth Brass Band have gone from locals-only Tuesday night gigs in the French Quarter to Grammy-winning, HBO-featured, Beyonce-entrance-music-playing superstars. It’s all due to their incredible musicianship and absolutely infectious spirit. Funk, hip-hop, jazz, and soul all go into the stew, coming out in ecstatic blasts of brass. You will feel the rhythm and be reborn. MH 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25 adv/$30 door. 479-1854.

for their wedding anniversary steaks.

And you all sing along gleefully to the catchy ’70s AM radio pop melodies, to which you’ve worked out some synchronized dance moves. Is it embarrassing? A little bit, but you feel it strong, and it’s just so much fun to get lost in earnest vocals and the smooth WKRP in Cincinnati grooves. AC 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 429-6994.

SOUL

SISTER SPARROW Sister Sparrow has spiked its neo-soul sound with a hefty dose of sparkly pop and a pinch of good old-fashioned whimsy. This newer, stronger concoction is a heady overdose of everything great about Sister Sparrow—the funkiness, the passionate hell-yeah vocals, the gritty brass—mixed with the charisma of singer Arleigh Kincheloe as she slow burns from one song to the next on the band’s new album Gold.

Contemporary pop seems to have been Sister Sparrow’s missing ingredient.

MONDAY 3/11 ELECTRONIC

TWRP Is TWRP the Weird Al of ‘80s synthrock? My guess is most of you would say no, but c’mon, think about it!

It’s feelgood synth jams that sound like parodies of feelgood synth jams.

The members of Tupper Ware Remix Party (TWRP) claim they found each other through space and time and formed a band to disseminate

synth-rock to the clock-stuck human lifeforms living in the new millennium. TWRP has no major message they’ve carried from the past or future, except they prefer that way you dance when you dance with no pants on. AB 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $14 adv/$16 door. 423-1338.

7 p.m. Saturday, March 16. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $31 adv/$36 door. Information: catalystclub.com. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 7 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

JAZZ

IN THE QUEUE

TRIO TAPESTRY

SHAWN AND LEHUA

At 66, tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano is one of the pivotal figures in contemporary jazz, a composer and bandleader with a vast web of creative connections spanning the world. After some two dozen albums for Blue Note, he recently released his first project as a leader for ECM: Trio Tapestry, a gorgeous session that moves from spacious, almost ambient soundscapes to fierce, tempestuous passages. The new ensemble makes its West Coast debut at Kuumbwa. A combustible combination of old and new, Trio Tapestry features the texturally inventive drummer Carmen Castaldi and piano master Marilyn Crispell. ANDREW GILBERT 7 and 9 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, Santa Cruz. $31.50 adv/$36.75 door. 427-2227.

Award-winning Hawaiian duo.

METAL

I honestly have no idea how many children reggae legend Bob Marley had. But the thing is, all of them seem to be incredibly talented. Stephen Marley first gained some attention playing with his older brother Ziggy. In more recent years, he’s been focusing on his solo career, like the touching acoustic record One Take: Acoustic Jams. Marley recorded these low-key acoustic reggae songs in his living room. It’s a combination of acoustic single-takes of some of his previously released material, as well as some of his dad’s songs. Now he’s bringing the acoustic show to Santa Cruz.

FILM

PAINT YOU A PICTURE Tom Schilling in German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s ‘Never Look Away.’

True is Beautiful MARCH 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Repression and freedom examined through the prism of art in German Oscar nominee ‘Never Look Away’ BY LISA JENSEN

44

T

he term “degenerate art” was coined by the Nazis to classify the works of such early 20th-century masters as Klee, Kandinsky and Mondrian. The “afflicted” vision of these artists, in the Nazis’ opinion, failed to properly celebrate the Aryan perfection of the master race.

To modern viewers, the infamous degenerate art exhibit mounted by the Nazis in 1937 is a treasure trove of visionary work—an opinion shared by an awestruck young German boy visiting the exhibit at the beginning of Never Look Away, absorbing it all in big-eyed wonder.

Nominated for this year’s Foreign Language Oscar, Never Look Away is an often-striking portrait of art,

politics and life in collision. German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck scored big a few years ago with his exceptional The Lives Of Others, about a solitary East German spy and the life-embracing playwright he has under surveillance.

Never Look Away doesn’t quite have the same powerful impact. Its three-hour-plus running time gives Von Donnersmarck plenty of room to tell his story in meticulous detail, but the storytelling loses tension in the midsection. Still, the journey of its protagonist, that little boy of the first scene who survives personal tragedy, political upheaval and the Communist regime that succeeds the Third Reich to find himself as an artist, remains compelling.

In a story inspired by the life and career of artist Gerhard Richter, little Kurt Barnert (Cai Cohrs) is visiting the exhibit with his beloved, free-spirited young Aunt Elisabeth (Saskia Rosendahl). Despite the tour guide’s profound disgust, Elisabeth confides to Kurt that she likes the paintings, and advises him to “never look away” from life or art, no matter how disturbing, because, “Everything true is beautiful.”

In his next few formative years, Kurt loses several people important to him and survives the bombing of Dresden, reducing his city to rubble.

As a young man (now played by Tom Schilling), his work as a sign painter gets him into the postwar art academy, even though his

teacher questions how Kurt’s private drawings “help the working man.”

Like their predecessors, the Communists now in charge condemn modern artists like Picasso as “decadent,” teaching new young German artists to paint not Aryan perfection, but Social Realism. A bright spot in Kurt’s dreary routine is spirited, forward-thinking fellow student Ellie (Paula Beer). They marry, despite the disapproval of her icy father, Professor Seeband (Sebastian Koch), who has ingratiated himself with the East German Communist elite—and whose past as a doctor for the Third Reich is entwined with Kurt’s in ways neither of them yet realizes.

Schilling looks just like the young Richter of the postwar era. But the role of Kurt is mostly passive and reactive, as events unfurl around him; he doesn’t really protest the stifling art school dictates, or his father-in-law’s smug campaign to demean him and control the young couple’s married life. But Schilling’s performance warms in his scenes with Beer’s Ellie, when Kurt uncorks his true feelings.

Von Donnersmarck portrays art, society and youth itself in transition between stale and modern, repression and freedom, past and future. The pomposity of critics, teachers and students alike is duly skewered, along with the students’ often-loony attempts keep up with audacious new trends in modern art.

Unconstrained at last, yet unable to fill a canvas, Kurt begins a series of photo-realistic images in black and white, intentionally blurred, and based on old family snapshots.

(The signature style with which Richter first made a splash in the art world.) The movie suggests that only by reconciling his past and present can Kurt discover his own artistic voice. Any artist will tell you it’s a lot more complicated than that, but the filmmaker’s homage to the artist’s journey keeps us engaged.

NEVER LOOK AWAY *** With Tom Schilling, Paula Beer and Sebastian Koch.

Written and directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. A Sony Classics release.

Rated R. 189 minutes. In German with English subtitles.

NEW RELEASES

NOW PLAYING

APOLLO 11 If you’re thinking, “Wait a minute, didn’t I already see this movie?”—no, that might have been Ron Howard’s Apollo 13.

(I hope for your sake it wasn’t the god-awful horror movie Apollo 18, about a moon mission that never actually happened.) Or maybe it was The Last Steps, the 2016 documentary about Apollo 17. It could definitely have been First Man, last year’s Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling that worked its way up to the Apollo 11 mission. It’s hard to keep all these Apollos and the movies about them straight, but this documentary is a brand-new look at the 1969 mission that first got us to the moon, and it’s been pieced together entirely out of archival footage (some of it never before seen), with no narration or talkinghead interviews. Its unusual approach won it the Special Jury Award for Editing at Cannes last month. (G) 93 minutes. (SP)

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL James Cameron started developing this manga adaptation in 1999, but when it came down to actually making one of his two giantCGI-eyes projects in 2009, he chose Avatar instead. Director Robert Rodriguez rescued this from development hell, but what may have seemed edgy 20 years ago—a cyborg risking her life in a battle royale bloodsport designed to appease the post-apocalyptic masses … wait, hold on. So this movie is basically Rollerball? No wonder Cameron didn’t want to make it—it’s already been made twice! And one time it was even good! Starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, and Mahershala Ali. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (SP)

CAPTAIN MARVEL In a year that will see Avengers: Endgame released on April 26, this massively hyped $152 million film is somehow the low-key, lowbudget Marvel release. (Even more remarkably, it’s the least-expensive Marvel movie since 2011’s Thor—17 films ago.) Brie Larson stars as the title heroine in what is basically an Avengers prequel about how former Air Force pilot Carol Danvers gets her powers and joins an alien military force before returning home to save Earth from the crossfire of a space war. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. Co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn and Lee Pace. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

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

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

Maybe just, “It’s like Taken, except really stupid.” Directed by Hans Petter Moland. Co-starring Emmy Rossum and Laura Dern. (R) 118 minutes. (SP) COLD WAR Every shot is thrilling in Cold War, Pawel Pawlikowski’s follow up to Ida. This lean, fast film concerns the paradox of mid-20th century discontentment. Example: At great cost to yourself, you

escape the workers’ paradise of the Soviet empire, an Eden where they tie your hands. You then arrive in capitalist heaven to face what Joni Mitchell termed “the crazy you get from too much choice.” Most of all, Cold War is a lustrous romance between a Michael Fassbinder-ish pianist, Wiktor, and the younger singer Zula, whose life is clouded by a crime she committed when she was a girl. Starring Joanna Kulig and Tomasz Kot. (R) 88 minutes. (RvB) EVERYBODY KNOWS The nuance of family dynamics is a specialty of Asghar Farhadi, as seen in his two previous Oscar-winning Iranian films, A Separation and The Salesman. Family secrets and hidden agendas abound in this suspense drama, set in Spain, and Fahardi handles them with his usual sensitivity. But the movie never quite achieves the emotional epiphany we hope for.

Stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem (even more expansive and full of gusto than usual) are worth watching in every frame they’re in, the ensemble cast is excellent, and Madrid looks beautiful. But when all is finally revealed, there’s just not as much there, there as we might wish. (R) 133 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles. (LJ) THE FAVOURITE Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone and especially Olivia Colman as a cranky, insecure Queen Anne are all excellent as women jockeying for power in the man’s world of early 18th-century England.

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

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

So it’s hard to believe Chloë Grace Moretz doesn’t see the Single White Female thing coming from a mile away when she returns a lost handbag to Isabelle Huppert’s Greta at the beginning of this movie, and discovers this freaky lady checks all those boxes. She doesn’t, though, and before you know it, Greta begins to act creepy and obsessive. Director Neil Jordan may be best known for The Crying Game, but he’s done some wild genre stuff in the past, like The Company of Wolves and In Dreams (let’s not talk about Interview with the Vampire), so expect some surprises in this suspense thriller. Co-starring Colm Feore and Stephen Rea. (R) 98 minutes. (SP) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD This is the third film in this series, people. If you haven’t learned how to train your dragon by now, you probably need to hire a professional. Directed by Dean DeBlois. Featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, and F. Murray Abraham.

(PG) 104 minutes. (SP) ISN’T IT ROMANTIC Rebel Wilson gets hit on the head and wakes up as the star of her own romantic comedy. Actually, a lot of wacky things happen to people in movies when they get hit on the head. But when I try it, I just black out and then wake up with a really bad headache. Maybe this wrench is too big. Or too small? I’ll keep experimenting. (PG-13) 88 minutes. (SP) THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART If you didn’t have very small children at the time, you were probably surprised at how much you were delighted by the first Lego Movie’s irresistible charm and wit. If you did have very small children, you were probably unsurprised at how much you were

delighted by the first Lego Movie’s ability to hold your kid’s attention so you could close your goddamn eyes for one goddamn minute. Well, now the sequel is here to provide the same tender mercies for a new generation of new parents about to lose their shit. Everything is awesome! Directed by Mike Mitchell. Featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. (PG) 106 minutes. (SP) A MADEA FAMILY FUNERAL Tyler Perry says this will be the last Madea film. So, there’s that.

Written and directed by Perry.

Starring Perry, Cassi Davis and Patrice Lovely. (PG-13) (SP) NEVER LOOK AWAY Reviewed this issue. (R) 188 minutes.

OSCAR-NOMINATED SHORT FILMS Endangered children, old age and regret, racism, irresponsible parenting, and random homicide all figure in the five live-action shorts nominated for a 2019 Academy Award. The companion program of animated shorts is not all that more upbeat, touching on dysfunctional psychiatry, dementia, divorce, and death, among other things.

Grim seems to be the pervading tone among this year’s crop of fledgling filmmakers singled out by Academy voters. There are many lovely and intriguing moments in both programs—especially the animated offerings—but there’s not one E-Ticket item here that just grabs you by the lapels and leaves you awestruck. Maybe next year. (Not rated) Live Action: 109 minutes. Animated: 80 minutes.

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

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

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

FOOD & DRINK KARST’S KITCHEN Fans of Sally Solari, the resourceful fictional restaurateur-turned-sleuth, will welcome the newest installment of her adventures when Murder from Scratch is released next month. The fourth murder mystery by Santa Cruz’s own Leslie Karst—former lawyer, trained chef and talented alto—Murder from Scratch once again combines restaurant ambience, a questionable death, and professional tensions in a literary bouillabaisse set right here in Santa Cruz.

In this latest caper, Karst’s fanbase will find protagonist Solari embroiled in dysfunctional family issues, which this time includes a cousin’s death. Solari thinks it’s no accident and the investigation takes her into the highly competitive world of commercial cookery. Lots of plot twists, well-seasoned(!) with a few choice recipes.

Kudos to Karst, a woman who can keep a deadline simmering. Watch the skies for an April release of Murder from Scratch. lesliekarstauthor.com.

A Persian feast, ‘Murder from Scratch’ and a Dream Inn dining makeover BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

f the first day of spring is near, then so is the Persian New Year. To celebrate, chef Jozseph Schultz plans to dazzle your taste buds with his annual multicourse Persian feast on March 17.

In addition to food, the evening will include hypnotic dancing from House of Inanna.

The knowledgeable chef of India Joze, a one-man culinary Wikipedia, will also provide “the table history of Persian Cuisine.” Expect culinary offerings involving pomegranatecream-mint reduction sauce, lamb perfumed by spices, chicken wok’d

in a Persian apricot-orange flower glaze, and toasted almond herb pilaf.

Preparation styles and spicing combos promise to be the stars. Course after course, this is truly a meal to remember. Tickets very limited.

To intensify the journey through India Joze’ Persian New Year festivities, adventurous diners and dancers might also want to leap over al fresco flames the evening of March 19.

“It’s always the last Tuesday before the vernal equinox. Wednesdays start on Tuesday eve, just like the Jewish calendar,” the chef explains.

“Coincidence? I don't think so.” He also adds that “this ritual drumming and dancing reenacts the chasing out of the last unlucky Wednesday of the year. So on Tuesday, March 19 at India Joze, we build fires in the parking lot and invite all comers to jump the flames and burn away their past obstacles to happiness and prosperity in the coming year.” Removing obstacles. Sounds intriguing.

Make reservations for the March 17 dinner, starting at 5 p.m., at 325-3633.

Cost $45 per person. India Joze, 418 Front St., Santa Cruz. indiajoze.com.

The Dream Inn has just unveiled its new Jack O’Neill Restaurant in the former Aquarius, a dining and drinking spot that offers patrons the most spectacular view possible of the Santa Cruz wharf without the need for a wetsuit. (Apologies to the man who invented the wetsuit.)

The newly spiffed up Jack O’Neill also offers live music starting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Executive chef Ken Drew is still finetuning a new menu that will feature local ingredients, such as a Corralitos sausage sampler.

Jack O’Neill Restaurant and Lounge at the Dream Inn, 175 W Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. (866) 966-0529, jackoneillrestaurant.com.

aking cannabis candy isn’t so different from what typical boutique candy makers do, says Daniel Thomas, chief operating officer of Santa Cruz cannabis-infused cough drop company Dollar Dose. “It’s pretty much standard candy making, with a little bit of special stuff added,” says Thomas, who once worked for Marini's Candies.

It’s the process of getting the “special” THC into the hard candy, and keeping levels consistent across batches, that is Dollar Dose’s secret weapon. As of September, the company led by founder and CEO Jason Freeman had sold 170,800 of their $1 cannabis-infused lozenges, which come in four flavors: hibiscus sativa, indica root beer, indica apple, and watermelon sativa.

The candies are available all the way from Shasta County to Los Angeles, including here in Santa Cruz County at Kindpeoples, Cannacruz, TreeHouse, Herbal Cruz, Central Coast Wellness Center, and Curbstone Exchange. In December, Dollar Dose became the first cannabis distributor to obtain a local conditional use permit.

What’s it been like navigating the regulatory framework?

DANIEL THOMAS: It’s been nuts.

Until mid-January, there were no real permanent regulations. They were all temporary emergency regulations, and they changed several times. Some of those changes were pretty big shifts. Then they would propose new regulations.

Sometimes there would be things in those new regulations that would make us go, ‘Ah, that would be terrible!’ or ‘That would be sweet!’

They were just proposals. It’s this shifting puzzle. It’s hard to get clear answers. It was just us staring at the screen of regulations until our eyes start watering. Fingers crossed they don’t change them too much.

Cheech and Chong or Seth Rogen?

Cheech and Chong—timeless.

Come on.

You should introduce a night-time varietal and call it Dollar Doze.

Oohhh… shoot. [Nodding] We’re definitely looking at scaling. With this new sales bump, we’re gonna buy a new forming wheel. We’re gonna start getting new products rolled out. We are interested in doing higher dosages, as well as toffees, gummies, stuff along those lines. dollar-dose.com

n a recent trip to Napa, we stopped by Ashes & Diamonds for a tasting.

Friends had recommended this fairly new operation, both for the gorgeous wines and the unique mid-century-modern tasting room.

The brainchild of advertising executive Kashy Khaledi, a visit to Ashes & Diamonds is exciting and memorable. The winery’s 2014 Cabernet Franc ($75) is one of the better Cab Francs I have enjoyed in some time. Winemaker Steve Matthiasson has made a perfect, aromatic wine with enormous bold flavors. A blend of select vineyards from Napa Valley, one can almost taste the volcanic, clay and sandy soils from which the luscious black grapes sprang.

The Ashes & Diamonds team say their winemaking philosophy is simple: “A wine should be based on the quality of farming, minimal intervention in the cellar, and time-honored methods of healthy fermentation and harmonious blending.”

Khaledi is the son of Darioush Khaledi, owner of the famous Darioush Winery in Napa, with its impressive entrance

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES KALI YUGA: WHEN THE DARKNESS IS ALLOWED Here we are in a Mercury retrograde, under Pisces (two fish hiding behind ferns), and at the beginning of Lent (40 days and nights of purifying our elementals). Pisces is the sign of the world savior, the sign that “saves the world.” Our world at this time is in the heart of the Kali Yuga, which is a time of darkness. The Kali Yuga is a time when truth is obscured and humanity becomes confused. This darkness is allowed so humanity can begin to discern light from dark, truth from untruth, moral from the immoral, and goodness from evil. The darkness is thus purposeful for humanity’s upward evolution. Pisces is esoterically known as the “Light of the World.” The Pisces light ends forever the darkness (ignorance, cruelty, hopelessness, evil, etc.).

Pisces is known for its saviors, for sacrifice, and sense of dying to the world. Saviors appear periodically on Earth, dying to their state of

paradise, sacrificing themselves to help in the struggles of humanity. They are Bodhisattvas, promising to remain on earth until all have awakened. Their words, the keynote of Pisces, “I leave the Father’s House (heaven), I return to Earth, in order to serve (in Aquarius) and save humanity (in Pisces).” Christ (archangel from Sirius, overshadowing Jesus of Galilee) was our last and present (Pisces/Aquarius) savior and world teacher. This is his season, the season of Lent.

We stand with him in the desert for 40 days and nights. Lent is a time of preparing our elementals (the stuff our bodies are made of) for a new year, a new season (spring equinox), when the sun enters Aries. And this year, it is also the Aries solar festival, when the forces of restoration stream into the Earth. Lent prepares us for the resurrection festival, which we call Easter (April 21).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Much of you has, should or will go into a state of solitude and retreat for a while. This is food for you, for your soul ruler, Mercury, is now retrograde. It’s calling you to a place of intelligent contemplation so you can reflect upon the past year and make plans in the quietest part of yourself for the future (when sun enters Aries, the new spiritual year). This is a gift of time and preparation.

Attend church or synagogue or a yoga or meditation retreat.

Perhaps you find yourself striving to harmonize past and present with significant others—friends, therapists, business colleagues, family, and lover(s). Harmonizing all aspects of your life allows you to become more whole. It’s painful, the razor’s edge, honing our rough edges (karma). This is the design embedded within all relationships. What is your story? Who do you love?

What do you fear? What soothes you?

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of March 6, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You find yourself constantly amid groups that need your ideas, practical direction, determined focus, and your quiet, efficient and illuminating mind. Behind all your research, knowledge and teachings is the reality that it’s time to salvage the world, and that much sacrifice must come forth from all of us to restore the plan on Earth.

When you lead, everyone follows.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 What do you think and feel is your gift as a Gemini in the repair and reconstruction of the world? What do you want to be recognized for in this lifetime? What gifts of self will you offer to the new group of world servers whose task is to impress humanity with new ideals that will create the new culture and civilization? These and other ideas new and revelatory will occur in the Mercury retrograde.

An interesting situation is occurring. You now have the freedom to choose many paths. You can also choose to remain immovable and static. Your life becomes charged with possibilities and potentials. You will perceive complex information along with multiple levels of reality.

You have entered the same brilliance Einstein saw and lived within. Ideas coming forth from the mind of God to your mind.

You might find that religious themes begin to form an important part of your life. All of a sudden altruism becomes your keynote and people begin to perceive you as philosophical, idealistic and visionary. You will have inspired insights that assist both the self and others. You imagine other lands, distant worlds. It’s good to build a boat, eat fish, swim in warm waters, talk with the devas.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 At times you find yourself functioning in other worlds.

Compassion, empathy, kind-heartedness, and intuition unfold daily. Do not be concerned with not having adequate resources, and try not to feel deprivation.

There is no deprivation. There is only goodness, everywhere. Some obligations and responsibilities call.

Serve like a Bodhisattva.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 As written previously, this is a time set aside to care for your health. Know that you are the best there is, always. Do you have a dream? A vision? Do not become disillusioned. This affects your health, which, with focus and care, you must rebuild time and again. Do not overwork or allow excessive worry. You never fail. There is no failure. Only experience, understanding and learning.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 There are times you may struggle with disappointment concerning perhaps relationships and professional endeavors. However, in the midst of this you will find a deep strain of inner joy, creativity and then, recognition in the world. At times you’ll feel great powers still to be expressed and long to do something significant. You realize you’re talented and very lucky. And that sacrifice plays a large part. You need a bit of peace and seclusion.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You find you’re more curious than usual about the words you and others speak. You look beneath the surface of language to understand the complete picture. If one listens to communications through the question “What needs are being expressed here?” the hidden psychological messages become clear. Keep writing, creating and doing mental/imaginative work. Confide in those who listen.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You can be very generous. However, you can also be dreamy and/or imaginative about your money. You have a sense of timing and intuition concerning when things should be done, with whom, when and where. These abilities will be more easily seen in the coming months.

You can tap into unusual resources. There is always the supply you need. Share it generously.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re not an everyday sort of person. You don’t have the energy of Aries, steadfastness of Taurus, business acumen of Capricorn, or the relating skills of Libra.

You’re in touch with other levels, with different values based on spiritual motivations. Know that in the darkest of times, you still have the ability to have gratitude.

Deep within is a state of hidden joy. You need music and art and to plant many and various edible fruit, nut and berry trees.

I don’t know if you noticed that Dos Equis recently retired Jonathan Goldsmith, the American actor who became famous for his role as The World’s Most Interesting Man. Turns out that Goldsmith will be relocating to Santa Cruz to start his new career as The World’s Most Interesting Realtor. Since there are more than 1300 Realtors in the county already, there’s always room for one more.

Here are a few of the tag lines he is considering for his initial rollout campaign: He’s the Most Interesting Realtor in the World...

• Other agents have his name on their vanity license plates • He gives virtual tours in person • His clients sign disclosures acknowl edging he’s The Most Interesting Realtor in the World • He can make a house go up in value just by appreciating it • He once foreclosed on a bank • He once picked a loan lock • Buyers he doesn’t work with suffer from remorse • When he lists a property, half baths become whole again • Even the geodesic domes he rep resents have square footage • Loan underwriters wait for his approval • He once sold a dream house in his sleep • He once went to mime school to look more convincing when going through the motions • He uses a tailor for arm’s length transactions • His termite company once tented a circus

HONEY DIJON PORK TENDERLOIN WINE & FOOD PAIRING Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins ¼ cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 3-4 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or 1 sprig freshly chopped) fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and place the two pork tenderloins on top.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, orange juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Cut small slits in the top of each of the tenderloins, about halfway through (about 6 slits on each). Pour the sauce over the top of the tenderloins.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top of the tenderloins every 10 minutes. This creates a super yummy glaze on top and will soak into the slits you cut in the meat. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the largest part of the tenderloins reads 145.

Remove tenderloins from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with sauce from the pan drizzled over the top. Enjoy!

Who or what first got you you shopping here? I was a week old and my mother brought me to Shopper’s. I remember the free hot dogs they would give to kids and the wooden floors which I still find amazing. I like Shopper's aesthetics, the lighting… I have this saying,‘If you can’t find it at Shopper’s, you probably don’t need it.’ It has the best of everything — in different price points — like their spice section, unusual baking items, amazing liquors, olive oils, vinegars, salsas, but also all your everyday products.They don’t have 2,000 of each product; Shopper’s is carefully curated. Someone has the vision.

How so? It’s a creatively-run business with a vision that’s been followed since the beginning.

Shopper’s is iconic for a reason. I like that there’s only one location. I have friends with one restaurant and some with multiple locations.You lose a little something when duplicating.Take Chez Panisse… and Shopper’s. Both have that certain magic! Shopper’s is family-owned and committed to the community.The money stays here.The store has a family vibe and the employees seem happy. My sister worked here while in high school — she loved it! Shopper’s is very social and fun.And old-school cool!

What do you like to cook? Everything. From the exotic and international such as Mexican, Balinese and pasta dishes to cheese soufflés, quiches, roasted vegetables and more. I can find everything that I need at Shopper’s, like Bluegrass Butter and baking ingredients which are hard to find. Shopper’s organic produce is fantastic and sometimes cheaper than the conventional.

Shopper’s is convenient as you never wait in line.

The checkers — the entire staff — are genuine, friendly and not over-the-top.You have real interactions. I tell new residents that Shopper’s is the epitome of the Santa Cruz experience.

“I tell new residents that Shopper’s is the epitome of the Santa Cruz experience: there’s the Big Dipper, Steamer Lane and Shopper’s Corner.”
