OPINION

EDITOR’S EDITOR R’S NOTE Support for Proposition P roposition 37, 37, the 2012 initiative that would have rrequired equirre e ed a special products label for pr oducts containing genetically g enetically modified modif fiied organisms (GM (GMOs), huge MOs), was hug e in Santa Cruz. When it was defeated at the polls by ridiculously narrow by a ridic culously narr ow margin, supporters pointed huge scare supporters po ointed to the hug e scar e campaign by Monsanto

by M onsanto and other corporations, which outspent the corporrations, a tiny “Yes 37” tin ny “Y Ye es on 37 7” campaign by by tens of millions off dol dollars, illi d ll llar l s, hammering h i home h the notion tha that at GMO labeling was going skyrocket. going to make e food costs skyr ocket.

When I rread ead d Christina Christina Waters’ Waters’ cover stor story this legacy y th his week, I see the le gacy of that expens expensive sive disinformation campaign. Qu Quite simply,, people don’t uite simply know what to believe about food

la labeling abeling anymore, anymore, and ther there e hasn’t been be een enough of an education effort by by th he ag encies cr eating the labels to help h the agencies creating co onsumers under stand the differ en nce consumers understand difference be etween a pr oduct labeled “GMO-fr ree,” between product “GMO-free,” “U USD DA Certif fied i Organic, W “USDA Certified Organic,”” “Made With Or rganic Products,” Products,” or anything an nything else e.

Organic else.

W ater a s’ examination of this confus sion Waters’ confusion no ot only makes the differ re ences easy y to not differences un nderstand, it shows how the lack of understand, co onsumer compr ehension is hurtin ng consumer comprehension hurting th he organic movement. the What I like about cover stories su uch such ass this one is that they can inspir e inspire sm mall chang es that have a big impa act, small changes impact, on nce the differ re ence between labels once difference iss explained, and the implications fo or organic farmer for farmerss is clear. In an ar rea like this that car es deeply abou ut area cares about w wher e its food comes fr om and how w where from it’ ’s produced, produced, a little knowledg eg oe es a it’s knowledge goes lo ong wa ay. long way.

true for you. Where you’re headed, you would benefit from an advisor, teacher, or role model.

In the old Superman comics, Mister Mxyzptlk was a fiendish imp whose home was in the fifth dimension. He sometimes snuck over into our world to bedevil the Man of Steel with pranks. There was one sure way he could be instantly banished back to his own realm for a long time: If Superman fooled him into saying his own name backwards. You might think it would be hard to trick a magic rascal into saying “Kltpzyxm” when he knew very well what the consequences would be, but Superman usually succeeded. I’d like to suggest that you have a similar power to get rid of a bugaboo that has been bothering you, Aries. Don’t underestimate your ability to outsmart the pest.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

In 1637, mathematician Pierre de Fermat declared that he had solved the “Last Theorem,” a particularly knotty mathematical problem. Unfortunately, he never actually provided the proof that he had done so. The mystery remained. Other math experts toiled for centuries looking for the answer. It wasn’t until 1994, more than 350 years later, that anyone succeeded. I think you are on the verge of discovering a possible solution to one of your own long-running riddles, Taurus. It may take a few more weeks, but you’re almost there. Can you sense that twinkle in your third eye? Keep the faith.

I have taken a passage from a letter that Henry Miller wrote to Anais Nin, and I have chopped it up and rearranged it and added to it so as to create an oracle that’s perfect for you right now. Ready? “This is the wild dream: you with your chameleon’s soul being anchored always in no matter what storm, sensing you are at home wherever you are. You asserting yourself, getting the rich varied life you desire; and the more you assert yourself, the more you love going deeper, thicker, fuller.

Resurrection after resurrection: that’s your gift, your promise. The insatiable delight of constant change.”

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

Your upcoming efforts might not be flawless in all respects, but I suspect you will triumph anyway. You may not even be completely sure of what you want, but I bet you’ll get a reward you didn’t know you were looking for. Cagey innocence and high expectations will be your secret weapons. Dumb luck and crazy coincidences will be your X-factors. Here’s one of your main tasks: As the unreasonable blessings flow in your direction, don’t disrupt or obstruct the flow.

One of your important assignments in the coming week is to get high without the use of drugs and alcohol.

Let me elaborate. In my oracular opinion, you simply must escape the numbing trance of the daily rhythm.

Experiencing altered states of awareness will provide you with crucial benefits. At the same time, you can’t afford to risk hurting yourself, and it’s essential to avoid stupidly excessive behavior that has negative repercussions. So what do you think? Do you have any methods to get sozzled and squiffed or jiggled and jingled that will also keep you sane and healthy?

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 As soon as a baby loggerhead turtle leaves its nest on a Florida beach, it heads for the ocean. It’s only two inches long. Although it can swim just one mile every two hours, it begins an 8,000-mile journey that takes ten years. It travels east to Africa, then turns around and circles back to where it originated. Along the way it grows big and strong as it eats a wide variety of food, from corals to sea cucumbers to squid. Succeeding at such an epic journey requires a stellar sense of direction and a prodigious will to thrive. I nominate the loggerhead turtle to be your power animal for the coming weeks, Cancerian.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 In 1961, 19-year-old Bob Dylan began doing solo performances of folk songs at New York clubs. To accompany his vocals, he played an acoustic guitar and harmonica. By 1963, his career had skyrocketed. Critics called him a creative genius. Pop stars were recording the songs he wrote, making him rich. But he still kept his instrumentation simple, relying entirely on his acoustic guitar and harmonica. That changed in 1965, when he made the leap to rock ’n’ roll. For the first time, his music featured a full drum set and electric guitar, bass, and keyboards. Some of his fans were offended. How dare he renounce his folk roots? I wonder if it might be time for you to consider a comparable transition, Leo. Are you willing to risk disorienting or disturbing those who would prefer you to stay as you are?

“Whoever travels without a guide needs 200 years for a two-day journey.”That’s an old Sufi saying sometimes attributed to the poet Rumi. I don’t think it’s accurate in all cases. Sometimes we are drawn to wander into frontiers that few people have visited and none have mastered. There are no guides! On other occasions, we can’t get the fullness of our learning experience unless we are free to stumble and bumble all by ourselves. A knowledgeable helper would only interfere with that odd magic. But right now, Virgo, I believe the Sufi saying holds

There’s a meme rolling around Tumblr and Facebook that goes like this: “Everyone wants a magical solution for their problems, but they refuse to believe in magic.”

Judging from the astrological omens, I think this Internet folk wisdom applies to your current situation. As I see it, you have two choices. If you intend to keep fantasizing about finding a magical solution, you will have to work harder to believe in magic. But if you can’t finagle your brain into actually believing in magic, you should stop fantasizing about a magical solution. Which will it be?

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Singer Gloria Gaynor recorded the song “I Will Survive” in 1978. It sold over two million copies and ultimately became an iconic disco anthem. And yet it was originally the B-side of “Substitute,” the song that Gaynor’s record company released as her main offering. Luckily, radio DJs ignored “Substitute” and played the hell out of “I Will Survive,” making it a global hit. I foresee the possibility of a similar development for you, Capricorn. What you currently consider to be secondary should perhaps be primary. A gift or creation or skill you think is less important could turn out to be pre-eminent.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I’m tempted to furrow my brow and raise my voice as I tell you to please, please, please go out and do the dicey task you’ve been postponing. But that would just be a way to vent my frustration, and probably not helpful or constructive for you. So here’s my wiser advice: To prepare for that dicey task, lock yourself in your sanctuary until you figure out what you first need to change about yourself before you can accomplish the dicey task. I think that once you make the inner shift, doing the deed will be pretty easy.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In the fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling,” the young hero suffers from a peculiar case of mistaken identity. He believes that he is a duck. All of his problems stem from this erroneous idea. By duck standards, he is a homely mess. He gets taunted and abused by other animals, goes into exile, and endures terrible loneliness. In the end, though, his anguish dissolves when he finally realizes that he is in fact a swan. United with his true nature, he no longer compares himself to an inappropriate ideal.

Fellow swans welcome him into their community, and he flies away with them. Is there anything in this story that resonates with you, Pisces? I’m guessing there is. It’s high time to free yourself from false notions about who you really are.

n 20 years, you won’t be driving Highway 17 to work in Silicon Valley—you’ll be flying your personal drone over the mountains.

At least that’s the vision of Philip McNamara, who is bringing an international drone conference to Santa Cruz in May with some of the top names in building the so-farpilotless aircraft.

Not only that, but if McNamara has his way, Santa Cruz will be for drones what Mountain View and Palo Alto are for search engines and software—a capital of the growing new technology.

“Right now is the golden age of drone development,” says McNamara, 40, who moved to Santa Cruz five

years ago when his wife got a marine biology job at UCSC. “It’s kind of like where mobile phones were 10 or 15 years ago.”

How big will it get? Will we look like the Jetsons?

“I think drones will transport people on a large commercial scale,” says McNamara. “You will be able to call your Uber drone, and it will be able to take you to Silicon Valley.”

Santa Cruz is already flying ahead of the pack. Joby Aviation in Bonny Doon is working on carbon fiber wings and propellers that change and adapt, with the intention of making personal drones to take you to work.

Its founder, JoeBen Bevirt, is a serial entrepreneur whose products include

electric planes and the Gorillapod, a tripod mounting for cell phone cameras. He’s one of the featured speakers at the conference, which will be held at Kaiser Permanente Arena April 30-May 1.

McNamara expects 1,000 people from around the world to attend the conference, which, based on the high caliber of speakers, resembles a TED conference for drones.

He stresses that this is about drones for business and saving lives, not about military drones. The military gave birth to the concept of pilotless aircraft, called UAVs, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and has made it into a scary, deadly technology. Pilotless aircraft can be traced back to >12

In the Santa Cruz Mountains, tiny cottages— not all of them permitted—dot the forested landscape. One property houses a yurt, a circular dwelling held together by stilts, on a hillside. Another property owner, who’d rather just go by Bob, constructed a 244-squarefoot cottage on a dusty plateau overlooking redwood forests and, on a clear day, a shimmering Monterey Bay. “I had this trailer, then I got a wild hair and decided to build a house on it,” says Bob, trekking up to the place in his brown work boots, faded Wranglers and pine-green plaid shirt with sleeves torn at the elbows.

Wide windows—the bulk of which he got for free from contractors—fill the cottage with natural light, giving it a roomy feel, despite the limited dimensions. A former mechanical engineer, Bob crafted the place from ruddy cuts of ancient heart redwood. The logs had been lying around for a century or so before he decided to slice them to size with a sawmill he built out of an old boat trailer.

Sixteen solar panels cover the patio. Inside, a wood-burning stove fashioned from an old water tank stands in one corner, a kitchen fills up the other, a cupboard and, overhead, a sleeping loft. The only separate room in the house is the full bathroom, with a bathtub and toilet that drains into a 1,500-gallon septic tank with a proper leach field. In all: $5,000 to build, about another $6,000 for the solar panels, Bob says.

Whether Bob realizes it or not, he’s part of a trend—one of people making ends meet in smaller housing units, sometimes called tiny homes.

Over the hill, Tim McCormick is in a one-car garage tinkering with a 64-square-foot cube he hopes will “hack the housing crisis.”

As he envisions it, an 8-foot-square skeleton of perforated square steel tubes, small enough to fit in a parking spot, could become an “erector set” suitable home or workspace. From there, one could build up or out—as spartan as a post-apocalyptic bomb shelter or as elaborate as a several-story dwelling. Modules could be separate or stacked, side panels swapped, dimensions complementing existing urban spaces, like a small yard or a garage.

“It’s about creating systems to solve a very wide set of potential needs in the built environment,” he says. >14

the 1800s, when Austrians used hot air balloons to attack Italy, but in recent years drone strikes to kill terrorists have been a way for politicians to fight a war without being responsible for “boots on the ground.”

Today, the U.S. Air Force has more than 7,000 drones, or one-third of its planes, many of them flown by people at computer terminals thousands of miles away. With names like Predator and Reaper and 66-foot wingspans, they can travel thousands of miles to launch Hellfire missiles.

But, like the Internet, which was originally a military invention, drones have a huge potential in peacetime, despite some people’s fears.

“To be sure, this is about commercial drones, saving lives and helping drowning victims,” says McNamara, whose day job is at the Irish company Voxpro, which helps Silicon Valley firms navigate Europe.

“With every new technology, there is always fear,” says McNamara.

“People were afraid of cars when they first saw them. Some said cell phones will give you cancer. Others said, ‘If God wanted man to fly, he’d have given him wings.’ People worry about drones crashing and traffic and

safety. But when a drone comes and saves you when you are drowning, you’ll be pretty glad of it. It can take a lifeguard three minutes to get to you, but a drone can be there in 30 seconds—or if you need medicine or an adrenaline shot.”

Commercial drones come in all shapes and sizes, from those little helicopter-like devices you see in Radio Shack to larger ones that can carry medicine or a defibrillator or a quality video camera. They are being used by farmers to keep track of crops, and ranchers to find lost cattle.

The Silicon Valley company Matternet has gotten funding to develop a chain of $3,000-a-piece drones with solar-powered charging systems, placed every 10 kilometers, to make deliveries. The company, backed by Andreessen Horowitz (who brought us Facebook and Groupon, among others), is currently experimenting with a “pony express” system in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to deliver “food, medicine, and other essentials to villages seasonally stranded by stormy weather and low-quality road infrastructure,” according to a Singularity Hub article.

Company founder Andreas

Raptopoulos, who will speak at the Santa Cruz conference, told a TEDx audience in Edinburgh that his company has a worldwide market of one billion people who aren’t served by roads today. His drones could reach around the globe like the Internet (thus the name, Matternet, as in transporting matter). The cost to deliver two kilograms of matter over 10 kilometers is just 24 cents, he says. The vehicles cost three cents; the battery nine cents; the charging station 10 cents and energy two cents.

Of course, Matternet’s drones would not yet be able to fly under current Federal Aviation Administration rules, because they are autonomous, with no operator in sight, but he says they could help undeveloped countries with deliveries, which would also help relieve traffic in big cities.

“Imagine one billion people being connected to physical goods in the same way that mobile communications [connect] to information,” the ambitious entrepreneur says.

Amazon has been talking about a similar network to fly product orders to homes within 30 minutes. And just last week, the FAA announced proposed regulations allowing commercial drones to be >17

When the Golden State Warriors signed Santa Cruz power forward James Michael McAdoo last month, some of us wondered whether we’d seen the last of the 6-foot-9 power forward. After all, Golden State could have signed Santa Cruz Warrior McAdoo to a 10-day contract, as teams often do, or even just called him up to Oakland whenever they wanted him. Instead, Golden State signed him for the rest of the season.

But McAdoo has played in all four Santa Cruz games since.

The message behind the signing, according to ESPN analyst Geoff Gilbert:

Finder’s keepers.

“He’s a prospect. Why let him go?” Gilbert says.

Gilbert believes Golden State didn’t want another team to get to McAdoo first. So, Golden State locked down the young player, who’s still learning and growing his game.

Gilbert says that NBA-caliber players should put up big numbers in the D-League—which is just what McAdoo has been doing. The 22-year-old has been shooting 67 percent in Santa Cruz since his NBA signing.

Given his size, McAdoo looks like the kind of player Golden State might crave right now.

After all, wannabe NBA analysts (cough, Charles Barkley) have

been telling everyone the Warriors have no chance winning it all without another big man.

So, it’s easy to wonder if McAdoo is part of some big-man algorithm for Golden State’s playoff run. Not so, says Gilbert.

McAdoo may get playing time, but the team would much rather lean on its experienced players down the stretch, he says.

Currently with a 46-12 record, the Golden State Warriors have been the hottest team in the NBA West all season. With the fourthbest record in the league, Santa Cruz doesn’t look too shabby either, especially when it gets help from McAdoo and company.

McAdoo isn’t the only player near the cusp of NBA play. Golden

State Center Ognjen Kuzmic´ has spent some time with Santa Cruz. And at 7 feet, he too has dominated—grabbing a gamehigh 19 rebounds in a game last month and recording 6 blocked shots on March 1. Again, basically what we can expect from players good enough for the big leagues.

Of course, it bodes well for Golden State that it has extra players hanging out in Santa Cruz with enough talent to fill roster spaces if demand (a star’s injury, for instance) necessitates it.

More than that though, it’s great news for Santa Cruz’s Warriors when the Oakland team has so many solid players that it doesn’t even know what to do with all of them. JACOB PIERCE

HOUSING STUDS <11

14

People are having discussions all over, including in Santa Cruz, about what tiny homes could do for a community’s needs.

As housing prices climb, Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane would like the City Council to have a study session about affordable housing in the coming months, one that will cover a range of topics. “I intend to have tiny houses be part of that discussion,” he says. “Is that something we want to pursue? What are the obstacles?”

Lane wonders, for instance, if rules that govern accessory dwelling units could be changed to accommodate smaller units— making a space for tiny homes. And in an online forum, City Councilmember Pamela Comstock recently floated the idea of a tiny home community and asked others if it was something they would be interested in.

Activist and grant writer Steve Pleich says he and others are looking at building properties that could provide a tiny house community in Santa Cruz County. He imagines a pilot

program that could start with about five homes in a half-acre. Elsewhere, tiny homes are already housing people in need. Kendall Ronzano, a 20-year-old college student from Santa Cruz, recently built a tiny 117-square-foot tiny home and shipped it off to an organization in Austin, Texas, that houses the homeless.

McCormick calls his low-cost, open-source units Knight Houses, a reinvention of the home as a product that consumers could order online or build themselves. Under the aegis of Houslets, the alternative housing research effort he’s spearheading, McCormick is one of nine San Jose finalists vying for a slice of $5 million in grant money being distributed across Santa Clara County by the Knight Cities Challenge. “If we do this right,” McCormick says, “we can transform Silicon Valley’s urban ecosystem.”

McCormick is a relative newcomer to the tiny home movement. Early pioneers in the 1970s advocated for scaled-back homes in reaction to widespread suburbanization that normalized excessive living spaces. The average size of a single-family home four decades

ago hovered around 1,780 square feet. Each new U.S. Census Bureau count broke another record, the latest in 2013 when the average home size stopped just shy of 2,600 square feet, despite a concurrent decrease in the size of the average family. The housing market’s freefall in 2007 galvanized McCormick and others’ push for smaller living quarters.

“We had this huge breakdown, where the housing system is stammering,” he says. “All of a sudden regular middle-class people can’t find housing. It became a first-world problem, so to speak.”

McCormick has lived in plenty of small, sometimes improbable spaces. Growing up in London, his parents lived in a 1,000-squarefoot home. His bedroom, called a “box room,” was no more than 48 square feet—intended as a storage space, really. His father’s job as an architect moved the family to various urban hubs, always settling into economical living quarters. “That was a key, informative influence,” he says. “As long as I could remember, I was going to building sites, lowincome housing projects.”

McCormick wants to see more of that selfsufficient ingenuity applied to housing in urban spaces. Given that he plans to work with preassembled modules, he thinks he could work within an even tighter budget.

The pushback often comes from neighbors who worry about parking supply and property values. Other issues: how to hook up units to plumbing and comply with zoning rules.

McCormick says one way to make the idea of incorporating tiny homes within the urban landscape palatable to the public is to incentivize property owners. One model he’s looking at is a fairly new state law that gives tax breaks to property owners who lease to an urban farm. McCormick suggests the same idea could be applied for micro-homes.

“Fearing people encroaching on you is human, but so is building, adapting, being able to change your environment,” McCormick says.

“It’s all in how you present it.”

flown up to 500 feet high and within the line of sight of an operator. The agency is taking public comment on its proposals at regulations.gov.

You can expect these proposed regulations to be a hot topic at McNamara’s conference, called the Drones, Data X Conference, which will feature talks by the top developers in drone technology, including inventors who worked at NASA, Google and the FAA. The focus is spelled out in the name: Drones, for the aircraft; Data for the volumes of data capable of being gathered by drones; and X for extreme sports, which conference attendees will be able to take part in during their four-day stay.

A four-day conference ticket goes for $200, or you can get a Thursday pass to see drone demos at the Kaiser Permanente Arena for $10. There will be speeches and classes, one of which is a foray into the mountains with Cliff Hodges, star of the National Geographic show Remote Survival, and a Santa Cruz native.

“It’s still a small industry, and the not-well-known superstars are willing to come to small events,” says McNamara, who organized the first drone conference last year in Ireland.

Speakers include Mike Winn, of Drone Deploy, whose Minnesota company makes drones for farmers to monitor crops; Romeo Durscher, who works on developing safe methods of working drones into society for the largest drone maker, DJI in Switzerland.

Part of McNamara’s goal is to encourage drone companies to look at Santa Cruz as a place to make their headquarters. With help from Bonnie Lipscomb, the city’s director of economic development, and Doug Erickson of the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup group, he’s organized activities to keep participants in the city and show it off.

“When I see Delaware Street I think it’s crazy that there aren’t a bunch of tech companies there,” says McNamara. “Even downtown, you have all these amazing buildings.

People paying $80 a square foot in San Francisco could be paying $30 in Santa Cruz.”

Monsanto, the giant corporation behind much of the world’s current agricultural and bio-tech production, holds important and controversial patents, such as those on RoundUp Ready corn (RR corn) and soybean seeds, genetically altered seeds designed to work in conjunction with Monsanto’s ubiquitous herbicide RoundUp, which has been implicated in soil, air, and human tissue pollution.

Consumers, however, continue to push for GMO labeling. Whole Foods Market, according to senior media relations specialist Liz Burkhart,

certification—which is different and has a higher standard than the “Made With Organic Ingredients” label—and the Non-GMO Verification Project seal are brands to look for when seeking to avoid genetically modified organisms in foods. The Non-GMO Verification Project’s standards ensure that GMOs are avoided in all aspects of production.

Due to the risk of contamination in processing, however, no product can claim to be 100 percent “GMO free.” As the Non-GMO Verification Project’s website reminds consumers, “the non-GMO Project only verifies meat and processed foods. Due to the lack of verification for fresh produce, buying certified organic produce is the only way to avoid GMOs in your fresh foods.”

The issue of GMO labeling remains hugely controversial. Santa Cruz has a strong pro-labeling movement, which supported Proposition 37, the 2012 California ballot initiative which would have required GMO

believes that “people have a right to know what’s in their food. That’s why we have set a deadline to provide full GMO transparency on all of our food products by 2018.”

That means products based on or containing GMO-risk ingredients will be identified accordingly.

New Leaf Community Markets founder Scott Roseman agrees that his consumers “are extremely concerned about GMOs. They tell us so. Most want to know if the food they are buying contains ingredients that were grown with GMO seed, so that they have the choice to bypass those products.”

Roseman says that the entire GMO issue is a “hotly contested topic. Outside of this country, where Monsanto and their buddies spend millions of dollars to convince people that GMO food is safe, most of the world, including most of Europe, Russia and China, require either that GMO food is labeled, or it is banned entirely.”

ORGANIC VS. NON-GMO Recently, this comment showed up on Facebook: “A lot of companies are putting “Organic” on their seed paks [sic], making people feel they are buying something special and good.

Organic is not the same as non-GMO. GMOs can be grown organically.

Seeds can be harvested from organic plants but it doesn’t make the seed really any better. You are just paying more for the word organic on the pak.”

There’s some truth in this comment in that genetically modified canola can indeed be

grown organically. Sourcing nonGMO seed, such as that produced by High Mowing in Wolcott, Vermont (highmowingseeds.com) could remedy that. But the contention that organic seeds aren’t “really any better” avoids facing the environmental as well as ethical consequences of buying biotech seed from ag giants like Monsanto and its various subsidiaries.

The only guarantee of organic status is USDA Organic certification, which is granted according to standards set in this state by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). If a seed, vegetable, or product such as granola has gone through the years of planting, development and testing to earn “organic” status, it can also be considered as GMO-free as is possible (at least during its production).

But there’s no denying that genetic engineering of many things, including seed for largescale corn and soy crops (keyed to work with toxic herbicides such as glyphosate), has become both more sophisticated, more prevalent and hence more liable to co-opt the food chain. The integrity of “organic” as a non-GMO food source requires that watchdogs such as the Center for Food Safety never sleep.

“Our main concern is making sure that GMO foods are regulated and that health risks are assessed,” says the Center’s Rebecca Spector.

The problem is that mandatory GMO labeling has run afoul of powerful agriculture and manufacturing lobbyists, who have spearheaded disinformation campaigns such as the one that

Spector told EcoFarm panel attendees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we work for voluntary labeling such as the non-GMO Verification Project, and lobby at the state level for mandatory labeling laws.â&#x20AC;?

In October, Consumer Reports described the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fierce opposition to GMO labeling from many seed manufacturers and big food companies, which have spent nearly $70 million in California and Washington state alone to defeat GMO-labeling ballot initiatives.â&#x20AC;?

Vermont is the only state so far scheduled to require such labeling, as of January 2015â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and already there have been legal challenges.

But Spector compares the GMO labeling battle to controversial issues like same-sex marriage and marijuana legalization that faced huge opposition before gaining acceptance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can take many years,â&#x20AC;? she says.

After 10 months at the helm of the Santa Cruz-based national Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF), Brise Tencer sees momentum both in the larger market share that certified organic products gain each year, and the fact that â&#x20AC;&#x153;price difference between organic and conventional produce is also getting smaller.â&#x20AC;?

However, Tencer says the threeyear transition required to go from conventional to organic is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a challenge for farmers. They have to grow organically for three years, during which time they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t label their harvests as organic.â&#x20AC;? Those who know how organic crops are produced, she contends, know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more diversity in the organic label than the non-GMO label.

Tencer says organic farmers are tackling the problem of accidental GMO pollination head-on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are

working with varieties that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross-pollinate with GMO varieties.

One such projectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;organic-ready maizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is going really well,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Non-GMO integrity is still a work in progress, but the results are really exciting.â&#x20AC;?

A wide variety of herbicides are â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutelyâ&#x20AC;? used in Central Coast farming, Tencer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value of the land here is so high that growers look for high-value crops, like strawberries.â&#x20AC;? The OFRF director applauds the nonprofit lobbyists who fight for mandatory GMO labeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the deep pockets of Monsanto,â&#x20AC;? says Tencer.

A Molino Creek Farm partner and former policy program director at OFRF, Mark Lipson spent the past four years in Washington as the Organic and Sustainable Agriculture Policy Advisor at USDA. He says the non-GMO brand has gained a lot of momentum in the last decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The consumer-safety aura of the non-GMO claim, abetted by socialmedia chatter, has led many organic producers and processors to include a non-GMO statement on their labels,â&#x20AC;? he says.

But, at the same time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;consumer ignorance has been exacerbated by misleading marketing,â&#x20AC;? he says, giving a pass to conventional farming â&#x20AC;&#x153;dependent on herbicides, neonicotinoid insecticides and synthetic fertilizers, but not using GMO seedsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the expense of organic farmers.â&#x20AC;?

Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Craft Bakers is one of the companies able to use both â&#x20AC;&#x153;organicâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-GMOâ&#x20AC;? labels on their line of popular multi-grain items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have noticed that consumers are increasingly aware of GMOs,â&#x20AC;? says Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and CEO John Reaves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some, that may mean looking at the Non-GMO Project Verified seal, while for others it may mean USDA organic. In fact, a recent report from The Hartman Group found that four out of 10 consumers are currently avoiding GMOs in their dietâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;up by 23 percent compared to 2013.â&#x20AC;?

<25 farmer and policy specialist for organic standards, notes in a recent article in the Winter 2015 CCOF Organic News, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;seed purity is a complicated issue because seed contamination can also happen in the field. And while organics are not GMO, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tested for that. Not every phase of production is tested.

The organic label means that it was grown without pesticides.â&#x20AC;?

So why not simply test the seeds for GMO contamination? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costly,â&#x20AC;? Sonnabend explained at EcoFarm, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that cost would have to be borne by the organic producers. The National Organic Standards Board is working through the slow-moving bureaucratic standards (letters to the USDA Secretary of Agriculture, etc.) to require cost-sharing of the burden of GMO testing and prevention. Meanwhile, there is reason for some cautious optimism.

A recent survey of more than 80 products containing corn and soy were tested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the certified organic products tested contained GMOs,â&#x20AC;? says Sonnabend.

In the end, the choices we confront todayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;organicâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-GMOâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may turn out to be luxuries we can no longer afford. Almost half the land area of planet Earth is already used for farmlands and pastures, and fully 70 percent of the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

available fresh water goes to provide the food that more than 7 billion humans need to survive.

In his Emeritus Research Lecture at UCSC last November, biology professor Lincoln Taiz reminded the audience of the long lineage of agriculture that has led to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depletion of space and resources.

We need a second Green Revolution, said Taiz, after reviewing the grim facts of population pressures, climate change, drought, and starvation. Obesity in the first world is ironically overbalanced by accelerating malnutrition in Asia and Africa. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to bask in denial in cloistered Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; ringed by open wilderness space, organic fields and incomparable climateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the truth is harsh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crop yields must double to meet the predicted population increases by 2050,â&#x20AC;? Taiz warns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is a Faustian bargain. Every expansion involves great ecological costs and loss of biodiversity.â&#x20AC;?

Yet Taiz remains optimistic that â&#x20AC;&#x153;molecular toolsâ&#x20AC;? can increase plant productivity.

Yes, GMOs. Genetic engineering, some scientists believe, is the only means of future survival in a world of disappearing natural solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gene transfer for crop improvement,â&#x20AC;? says Taiz, â&#x20AC;&#x153;can engineer new traits that will enable plants to survive climate change, drought, and floods.â&#x20AC;?

<24 fought. Local organic pioneer Jeff Larkey of Route 1 Farms reports that organic growing has expanded in the U.S. “to about a $35 billion slice of the agricultural pie”—still only 5 percent of the total, but growing.

“Along the Central Coast, which some consider ground zero for the movement, it’s grown from a handful of farmers to now include some of the largest organic vegetable growers in the country,” says Larkey.

But he’s concerned about GMO seed supply contamination. “Once these things get out there, there’s no way to remove them. Even pesticides

will eventually degrade, but this has the potential to be with us forever,” says Larkey. Unlike Taiz, he sees organic farming and resistance to GMOs as the key to ecological sustainability, and he doesn’t plan on giving up that fight.

“The vast majority of the GMO crops have been created to be resistant to herbicides so that they can be used with impunity,” Larkey explains.

“We are looking at water aquifers and soil biology in a huge part of our country becoming negatively impacted from long-term use of the herbicide glyphosate, and that should be of concern to everyone.”

LITERATURE

“Not many people are aware of where Poles ended up after the war. It’s an underreported part of history that nearly got swept under the rug.” — Greg Archer <30 swept Archer to Poland, where he began an investigation into his family’s exodus from Stalinist Russia. Through them, he uncovered the history of millions of Poles, whose deportation and displacement spread from labor camps in Siberia to orphanages and refugee status in places as far afield as Uzbekistan, Iran, Pakistan, India, Africa, and even New Zealand and Mexico, their diaspora scattered across the globe.

Archer will be returning to Santa Cruz on March 12 to talk about the resulting book, Grace Revealed, and I was excited to catch up with him.

You’ve opened a forgotten door to WWII. I had no idea how widespread Polish deportation was.

GREG ARCHER: Not many people are aware of where Poles ended up after the war. It’s an underreported part of history that nearly got swept under the rug. It seems like my generation—filmmakers, documentarians, writers—are just beginning to get the word out in creative and journalistic works.

Are you planning to explore this history further?

I’d love to do a documentary that retraces their journey. It would be an amazing pilgrimage. We’ll see.

What’s going on with you now?

I finished the book in the Midwest,

Have you taken any part of Santa Cruz with you in your travels?

Probably the esoteric part of me that can’t help saying ‘evolving,’ when people ask how I am. But also the inquisitive, soul-searching part of me.

I have to ask your favorite interview question. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve been learning about yourself lately?

Good one. That I’m a hundred times stronger than I think I am, and that I don’t have to be led or dictated to by the threads of the past.

Are you working on anything new?

Another book. The theme is about home, where it is, what it is, and why we long for it.

We’re looking forward to your homecoming.

Me too.

Greg Archer will discuss ‘Grace Revealed’ at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 12, Free.

What was the catalyst for such a difficult journey?

It’s going to sound very Californian, but I was in a yoga class and asked for a sign to tell me what I should be doing. The broken picture frame happened soon after. It was a hint to keep following a thread I’d been thinking about and working on but hadn’t taken far enough. We’re not often told that learning and healing isn’t comfortable, but discomfort is what growth is all about.

and wanted to be here when it came out so I could connect with the Polish community. We had an amazing vigil at the Copernicus Center that I coordinated on Feb. 10, which was the 75th anniversary of the Polish deportation. I’m finding a hunger across generations to talk about it. When people who have gone through it come up and say, “I never really healed from this part of my life,” it’s eye-opening.

Unlike the Jewish population, who were able to rally together after the horrors of the Holocaust, the Poles didn’t have a similar opportunity.

Poland was a communist country for many years, which made things difficult. I wanted to illuminate the ripple effects that remain as those events live on through us.

JTC cast excels in new play ‘Harper Regan’ BY LISA JENSEN

36

N

ow celebrating its 10th productive season in the heart of Santa Cruz, Jewel Theatre Company has established its reputation for innovative programming and creative professionalism. (Especially given the tiny size of its venue, Center Stage.) At JTC, vintage work by Shaw and Coward is presented alongside often complex and lesser-known pieces by such modern masters as Tom Stoppard, Sam Shepard, Athol Fugard, and Joe Orton. In addition, Artistic Director Julie James is always scouting out new authors and playwrights to produce at JTC. One such playwright is Simon Stephens, an astonishingly prolific Manchester-born Brit whose more than two dozen plays have

won numerous awards. (His stage adaptation of the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, won the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2013.) Stephens’ 2007 play, Harper Regan, is the current offering at JTC, and it’s not difficult to see why James chose it. The title character, a woman at a transition point in her life, is a varied and evolving role for an actress, and many other small parts in the series of vignettes that pass for a plot show off the excellent acting company to advantage.

Essentially one woman’s journey out of her comfort zone and into selfawareness, the play begins with the eponymous Harper (James) asking for time off to go home to Manchester to visit her dying father. After ranting about porn, addiction, violence, the

Internet, and “the amorality of the young,” her boss (a fittingly pompous Chad Davies) says no. But after an odd exchange with a teenage boy in the park (an effective Nat Robinson), and a close encounter with a masonry brick falling from on high, Harper decides to go anyway—without a word to her genial, strangely unemployable husband Seth (Stephen Muterspaugh), and their spunky college student daughter Sarah (Marissa Keltie).

Harper’s odyssey takes her from the hospital to a bar, where she meets Mickey (played with nasty pizzazz

by Patrick Edwards), and on to an impromptu tryst with a lonely married stranger. Michael Shipley is touching in the role, but the scene doesn’t make a lot of organic sense; it feels like the usual cliché when a playwright wants

to underline a heroine’s awakening.

Ultimately, Harper must face her nemesis—the mother, Alison (Karel K. Wright), who divorced her beloved dad.

A drawback to the selection of this particular play might be its very Britishness. The cast navigates the characters’ working-class Northern accents with complete dexterity; no dialogue is lost in translation. But despite Bill Peters’ clear, uncluttered direction, the wry drollery of Stephens’ tone doesn’t always come across. In some of the more darkly absurdist moments at the performance I saw, the audience was unsure whether to laugh.

Some of the play’s touching moments don’t quite resonate either, often because Stephens sets them within such peculiar encounters.

It’s sort of sweet when a stranger, her stepdad’s apprentice (Taras Wybaczynsky Jr.), offers condolences on her father, but it comes out of nowhere in the middle of Harper’s confrontation with her mum. And it’s hard to figure out what’s going on with Harper’s increasingly delusional husband.

But relationships between women are handled much better. Keltie is splendid as daughter Sarah, injecting sass, lively energy, and affection into her scenes. And while Alison is presented from Harper’s viewpoint as the villain early on, once she comes onstage, and she and Harper painfully deconstruct the essence of their longstanding feud, Wright soars in the role, dispensing grace, regret, and a kind of closure.

The resourceful JTC production team comes through with its usual flying colors. Co-set designers Peters and Austin Kottkamp, Lighting Designer Mark Hopkins, and Sound and Projection designer Davis Banta conspire on the clever layers of mesh scrims and rear-projected screen that differentiate each setting, from downtown office to riverside to hospital corridor. Great things are expected from this crew when they get to move into their fancy new digs at The Tannery next year.

The JTC production of Harper Regan plays Thursday-Sunday through March 22 at Center Stage, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz.

MUSIC

BEN HERE BEFORE Peter Harper, who never expected to take up a music career like his famous brother,

plays Don Quixote’s on Thursday, March 5.

The Other Harper

Y

ou’d think Peter Harper would have taken up music early. He comes from a musical family, he spent much of his childhood in an instrument shop, and his brother is Grammy-award-winning rock star Ben Harper. But Harper’s a bit of a prodigal son when it comes to music.

“For a large majority of my life, I tried not to play,” he says.

“Everybody in my family played, and as a young person I took for granted what I was surrounded by—how unbelievably special it was.”

Every day after school, Harper

would walk to his grandparents’ shop, the Folk Music Center and Museum, in Claremont, California.

There he was exposed to all kinds of instruments and a wide range of musicians, from world-renowned artists to local hobbyists. Being part of such an open, welcoming space gave Harper unique insights into humans and the beauty of diversity.

“You have to understand that, to this day, I don’t understand how normal people grew up,” he says.

“The Folk Music Center is a unique phenomenon with instruments from every continent. You get all kinds

of people, from the best of the best musicians to the worst of the worst, and you have to deal with all of them.”

Despite being steeped in such a musical environment, Harper managed to steer clear of doing much playing. He tinkered with the guitar in his late teens and early 20s, but it always felt clunky to him. He preferred the visual arts. He went on to get a master’s in fine arts from NYU and become a bronze sculptor.

It wasn’t until he picked up the ukulele that things fell into place for him musically. He loved the sound,

Peter Harper will perform at 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 5 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 603-2294.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MARCH 4-10, 2015

Why Peter Harper spent most of his life trying not to follow brother Ben’s musical path BY CAT JOHNSON

and immediately started writing songs.

“The ukulele is such a great instrument,” he says. “I couldn’t get it to do anything other than sound really pleasant.”

From there, one of the shop employees suggested he try playing the tenor guitar, a four-string instrument that blends qualities of the banjo, ukulele and guitar.

Harper quickly fell in love with the instrument, and spent hundreds of hours playing and writing dozens of songs. Eventually, he wanted to share his music with a wider audience so he went to work putting together an album.

“It just didn’t feel right to not put the songs out,” he says. “For a long time it didn’t feel right to put them out, but something shifted. The way I had perceived [playing music] before wasn’t the way I perceived it anymore.”

The songs on Harper’s self-titled debut are stripped down and inviting, driven by his warm vocals, thoughtful observations, and solid guitar work— complete with alternate tunings on his ever-present tenor guitar.

When it came to recording, Harper made his way through the process on his own. Despite having a brother wellversed in the art, Harper found a lot of joy in figuring things out for himself.

“One of the things I’ve noticed over the last 20 years,” he says, “is that pretty much everybody asks Ben for everything. I try not to ask him for anything—I try to just let him do his thing. There’s just so much that he has to do—a lot of really big stuff on his plate, the last thing he needs to worry about is me.”

When the two brothers are together—there’s also a third Harper brother, Joel—they usually just hang out, have some laughs, or play backgammon. They’ll occasionally play each other songs, but generally, they just enjoy each other’s company.

But Harper is always pleased to meet new people who are already Ben Harper fans.

“I love when someone says ‘I’m a big fan of your brother,’” he says, “and I thought I’d just come and see you.”

THURSDAY 3/5 ‘CONGRESSLADIES’ AT UCSC When Aristophanes wrote “Ecclesiazusae” (say that 10 times fast) plague was abundant, Athens was in political turmoil, and Socrates had just been executed. Although that was back in 395 BCE, his play has surprising parallels with our modern day political system—does a lack of confidence in the political process due to rampant corruption sound familiar? UCSC Classics professor Mary-Kay Gamel adapted “Ecclesiazusae” with a modern-day plotline, but the core themes remain the same: the women of Athens are disgusted by the male-only Assembly, so they dress up as men and pass new laws.

JAZZ

COUNTRY

CAHALEN MORRISON & COUNTRY HAMMER Hailing from Northern New Mexico, Cahalen Morrison is no stranger to dust, ghost towns and loneliness— the kind of stuff that drives a good country song. And, fittingly, Morrison took to country music early, playing in his first band at the age of 13. As a teenager, he ventured off into rock ’n’ roll, but made his way back to classic country where he’s made a name for himself as a creator of sparse, thoughtful songs that, as one reviewer says, “let the listener do the work.” His band Country Hammer is full of top-notch

KENDRICK SCOTT In a jazz scene brimming with phenomenal drummers, Kendrick Scott stands out as a poised musician who brings simmering intensity to the bandstand. A product of Houston’s storied High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (think Robert Glasper, Beyoncé, and Jason Moran), he’s spent the past decade touring the world with the likes of trumpeter Terence Blanchard and vocalist Gretchen Parlato. But Scott is rapidly becoming a force in his own right with a stellar cast of collaborators, which for this tour includes pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Joe Sanders, guitarist Mike Moreno and tenor saxophonist Walter Smith III (a

fellow Houstonian). ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door.

TUESDAY 3/10 AMERICANA

JACKIE GREENE BAND Singer-songwriter Jackie Greene cut his teeth playing both the open mic and bar scene while still in his teens.

He actually seems like a natural fit for each world—his music is vulnerable and introspective and tough. His 2003 debut was Rusty Nails, and since then he’s released a handful of records and EPs, and even scored an Academy Award for his tune “I Will Never Let You Go” in Brokeback Mountain. His style is a hodgepodge of blues, folk, country and rock ’n’ roll. In 2013, he joined the Black Crowes, a group with a remarkably similar sound.

experimental and jazz scenes in New York over the past decade-and-ahalf. He inches closer to pop with every album, but never gives up his weird side. AC

A sharp-witted and quick-tongued lyricist out of Oakland, Forrest Day has a vocal style reminiscent of the late Bradley Nowell of Sublime or Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With rock grooves and a hip-hop-inspired delivery, Day’s music also features horns, a ska-worthy pace and an unmistakable party vibe. His style is a bit hard to pin down, but regardless of how you want to categorize him, this rising star is turning heads in the East Bay and beyond. On Saturday, he hits the Catalyst along with local acts Hella Deer and Androyd & Emilious. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET? Jenny Slate in ‘Obvious Child,’ which was a hit at last year’s Secret Film Festival two months

before its general release.

Don’t Tell a Soul MARCH 4-10, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Secret Film Festival’s 10th anniversary BY STEVE PALOPOLI

52

T

he movie gods giveth, and the movie gods taketh away.

That’s what organizer Scott Griffin of the Nickelodeon Theatres has learned in 10 years of doing the Secret Film Festival.

The 12-hour festival starts at midnight at the Del Mar and ends at noon the next day—this year, that’s midnight on Saturday, March 7, until noon on Sunday, March 8. In addition to the six or so movies that Griffin plays in the Del Mar’s main theater, there are usually four or so alternatives playing at the same time in an upstairs theater over the course of the night. That’s 10 movies that Griffin usually has to secure for the festival.

The secret part is that Griffin doesn’t tell the audience what movies

they’re going to see until their butts are in the seats. This is admittedly daunting when it comes to marketing, but sometimes it allows him to book movies that the distributors wouldn’t be able to let him screen before their general release if the names were publicized. More than that, it puts the adventure back into the movie-theater experience—both for the audience, who see movies they might never otherwise see, and for him, as he starts from scratch every year to build a festival in a few weeks.

“I think with the secret nature of it, the positive is that you can get a movie at the last minute—and sometimes it ends up being the most popular movie. The year we got ‘Mud,’ we got that a week before the festival,” says Griffin. “A lot of times

I’ll say ‘Oh, this movie will work perfectly,’ because it’s a movie we’re opening in three weeks, and it’s got all these elements that make it seem like it’s the kind of movie the studio will want to get in front of this audience.

And then it doesn’t work out, for one reason or another. But sometimes I’ll get an alternative from them, like ‘We can’t give you this, but we could give you that,’ and the alternative turns out to be way better than the movie that would have ‘made sense’—it’s more unexpected, more surprising.”

That very thing happened last year, when Griffin was pushing to get the then-unreleased Scarlett Johansson weird fest Under the Skin.

The distributor couldn’t give him that, but they did offer him Gillian Robespierre’s Obvious Child, which

wasn’t going to be released until two months after the festival.

“They had just bought that movie, and all they had was the digital file of it,” says Griffin. “They didn’t have a screener, they didn’t have anything to send me. And they were like ‘But it’s so good. Trust us, it’s so good.’

And it was perfect.”

However, Griffin watches all the films beforehand just to be sure. And with good reason.

“I feel a responsibility to these people that are going to be spending all night in the theater. I’m going to be with them all night, too, so if I book shitty films, I’m going to be in the theater with them all night while they’re watching shitty films,” he says.

“I don’t ever want to be sitting there saying, ‘Even though everybody said this movie was awesome, this movie is not awesome. This movie sucks.’”

People have responded to the care he puts into it, and the mix of genres he books every year. There are some genre flicks that are aimed at the midnight-movie crowd, for sure, but he has also gotten a rep for finding quirkier films with wider appeal that turn out to be indie sensations when they’re finally released—The Squid and the Whale, Lars and the Real Girl and The Darjeeling Limited all made their advance Santa Cruz debuts at the festival, to name a few. This year’s festival is already halfway sold out, and many of those attending come every year, possibly dressed in their pajamas.

“I start getting emails in December that say ‘When’s it going to be this year, because I want to buy my plane tickets while they’re cheap,’” Griffin says.

Looking back, Griffin thinks the inspiration for the Secret Film Festival was probably Donnie Darko, a film that absolutely no one went to see when it was released, but which has since become a cornerstone of his midnightmovie series at the Del Mar. “If you can just sit someone down in front of that movie, they’ll realize how awesome it is,” he says. “But you almost have to be like, ‘I’m not even going to tell you what it is. You just have to sit here and watch this.’”

n 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in the New York Times Magazine.

Brought to the United States as a 12-year-old boy by his grandparents, who had legally migrated to the country from the Philippines, Vargasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story, including his later journey through America as an immigration reform activist spurred by his public revelation, was made into a documentary called Documented.

On Saturday, March 7, the film will be shown during a special presentation at the fourth annual Watsonville Film Festival, after which Vargas himself will lead a Q&A with the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very compelling storyteller,â&#x20AC;? says Consuelo Alba, film festival director and co-founder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the forefront of the Dreamers movement, it is an amazing opportunity to have him in Watsonville to engage and talk with students and the community.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film festival, which has expanded to four days, now includes a red carpet event on opening night at Green Valley Cinemas, and a closing community festival on Sunday in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic downtown, with live music by the Latin music ensemble Los Malangueros. Santa Cruz MAH will hold a Pop Up Museum on the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Define Americanâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not just about showing films,â&#x20AC;? says Alba, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but connecting all the dots and creating synergy in the community.â&#x20AC;?

But for those movie buffs out there, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival certainly delivers. The festival kicks off with The Storm that Swept Mexico, a sweeping documentary on the Mexican Revolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the first historical event of its kind to be captured on film.

The film, narrated by Luis Valdez, will be followed by a conversation with director Ray Telles and the local musicians from Watsonville and Santa Cruz who contributed to the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score.

On Friday, the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature film at the Henry Mello Center, Sleep Dealer, is a dystopian take on a future where drones flood the sky and borders are omniscient. A winner at Sundance, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director Alex Rivera will sit for a Q&A after the screening.

The critically acclaimed East Side Sushi tells the poignant tale of a Latina fruit seller as she strives to become accepted as a sushi chef. Watsonville Taiko will perform before its Saturday night screening, which will be followed by a Q&A with the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director Anthony Lucero, and cast.

The Watsonville Film Festival runs from Thursday, March 5 to Sunday, March 8.

Tickets are $10; youth under 18 free with student ID. Visit watsonvillefilmfestival.org for the full festival schedule.

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN SNIPER Bradley Cooper is excellent as the conflicted protagonist in this harrowing war drama based on the memoir by Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle about his four tours of duty in Iraq. With muscular direction by Clint Eastwood, the film plunges viewers relentlessly into the chaos of post-9/11 U.S. military ops in the desert war zone and never lets up.

Eastwood captures the complex realities of modern warfare and focuses attention on a horrendous war no one wants to acknowledge, but sitting through this movie is grueling, from war-porn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military ceremony. (R) 132 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

THE DUFF A high school senior sparks a revolution in the social hierarchy in this comedy about a girl who finds out she’s known as the DUFF (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her more popular girlfriends. Mae Whitman (neither ugly nor fat) has the title role; Bella Thorne co-stars as her chief antagonist. Directed by Ari Sandel, from the Kody Keplinger novel.

(PG-13) FIFTY SHADES OF GREY You may not have read the E L James book, but you’ve definitely heard of the steamy bestseller about an innocent young secretary and the hunky but troubled new boss who asks for a few services outside her job description. Fun fact: the book was originally written as fan fiction based on the Twilight series. Just sayin’... Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson star for director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy). (R) 125 minutes.

FOCUS Will Smith stars as a slick, seasoned con man who takes on a sexy young blonde apprentice (Margot Robbie), but finds their working partnership complicated by romance in this comic caper adventure from co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love). (R) 105 minutes.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2 John Cusack is out of this sequel to the 2010 cult comedy. But Adam Scott takes over as his character’s grown son when remaining cohorts Craig Robinson and Clark Duke jump into the time-traveling hot tub to help out buddy Rob Corddry, and accidentally blast into the future. Steve Pink returns to the director’s seat. (R) 93 minutes.

THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzle-solver, unsung in his own lifetime, who built the first computer to break the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II. Turing’s arrogant intelligence, closeted sexuality and borderline Asperger’s syndrome would reduce a lesser actor to tics and melodrama, but Cumberbatch’s commanding focus makes his

performance a series of acute and subtle revelations. Morten Tyldum’s narrative conveys the complexity of Turing’s story before, during, and after his work on Enigma, presenting the singular Turing as a man trying to crack the code of social “normality” throughout his life. Mark Strong, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Charles Dance offer smart supporting performances. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The comic book The Secret Service is the inspiration for this tongue-in-cheek spy spoof adventure in which a slick op and his team groom a young street kid into a master spy. Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Jack Davenport, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mark Strong star with newcomer Taron Egerton. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) directs. (R) 129 minutes.

THE LAZARUS EFFECT Paranormal thriller from the producers of The Purge and Insidious franchises, in which a team of scientists doing research on resurrecting the dead have to try their discovery on one of their own—with harrowing results. Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, and Evan Peters star for director David Gelb.

(PG-13) 83 minutes.

MAPS TO THE STARS David Cronenberg directs this acidic look at Hollywood, its denizens, and the cult of celebrity, revolving around the family of a TV self-help therapist, his famous clients, and all of their attempts to claw their way to stardom. John Cusack, Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, and Robert Pattinson star. (R) 112 minutes.

MCFARLAND, USA In this factbased story set in the farm belt of California’s Kern County, Kevin Costner stars as a newlyarrived high school PE coach who helps groom a handful of Latino farmworkers’ sons into a championship track team. Maria Bello, Carlos Prats, and Hector Duran co-star for director Niki Caro (Whale Rider). (PG) 128 minutes.

SELMA The struggle to make the Voting Rights Act a reality is

dramatized in this extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature from director Ava DuVernay. The story chronicles a few months in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King (played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by David Oyelowo) organized a series of protest marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery to dramatize the suppression of black voting rights to the White House—and the world.

In our own particular historical moment, when “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying cry in our streets, and the VRA has been shamefully gutted by the current Supreme Court, this movie could not be more timely. (PG13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

SONG OF THE SEA Anyone who loves seals, ancient Celtic folklore, fairy tales or mythology will be utterly charmed by this magical Irish animated feature. Directed by Tomm Moore, whose previous film was the lovely Secret of the Kells, inspired by the famed illuminated manuscript, this Oscar-nominated fable combines traditional tales of the selkies (seals who transform into human women on land) with a stunning visual palette, and an endearing tale of a young girl and her destiny. Every hand-drawn frame of this movie is ravishing, so see it on a big screen! (PG) 93 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen.

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING Famed physicist Stephen Hawking, slouched in his motorized wheelchair, communicating through his robotic voice synthesizer, is so well-known, it’s difficult to imagine him any other way. But that changes with this smart, funny, tender biographical drama from director James Marsh.

Beginning with Hawking as a vigorous young grad student at Cambridge, it tells the enduring love story of Hawking and his first wife, Jane. Eddie Redmayne earned an Oscar for his exceptional performance as Hawking, partnered by Felicity Jones, in a film that celebrates tenacity—in life, love, and ideas. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (****) (2015)

THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Most of the original cast members return as mature expat Brits getting a new lease on life in India when the ambitious young proprietor of their residential hotel (Dev Patel) tempts chaos by trying to expand his business and get married at the same time. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, and Celia Imrie head the cast, which also includes newcomers David Strathairn and Richard Gere.

John Madden directs. (PG) 122 minutes. Starts Friday.

Paul Verhoeven directs. (R) 102 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. At the Del Mar, Friday at midnight only.

FOOD & DRINK of ramen, loaded with noodles, egg, pork belly and mushrooms. Dessert is sweet ginger custard. Beer and wine will be available to accompany your fresh Japanese specialties. All of this from the folks who reinvented the pulled-pork breakfast taco. Check it out. Midtown Cafe is smack dab in the middle of the block, at 1211 Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz.

WINE OF THE WEEK Bonny Doon Vineyards Albariño 2014 from Kristy Vineyard in Monterey: For roughly $15, this crisp white wine offers thirst-quenching flavor brightness, thanks to its 12 percent alcohol. Randall Grahm’s delightful creation immediately fills the nose with citrus—kumquat zest perhaps?, hazelnut and woodsy center, and a happy, uncomplicated finish of water chestnuts and Meyer lemon tart. A liquid anticipation of spring!

Louie’s Cajun Kitchen & Bourbon Bar closes, plus Back Porch pop-up, and 2015 Outstanding in the Field tour BY CHRISTINA WATERS

L

ou Caviglia of Seacloud, Clouds Downtown and most recently Louie’s Cajun Kitchen & Bourbon Bar confirmed last week that he would not be renewing his lease on the 20-year-old downtown watering hole. “The rents here have gotten insane,” Caviglia told me. Which means that you’ve had your last tipple at this landmark, which closed Saturday. Lou and his wife Christy Caviglia aren’t sure what happens next. But he/we will keep you posted. It’s the passing of an era in which the bons temps truly rolled.

Thanks for the memories!

JAPANESE BAR FOOD POP-UP Sometimes the old phrase “Back by popular demand!” rings true, as in the case of the hyper-active Back Porch group which brings its palatetingling Japanese bar food event back to the Midtown Cafe from 5-10 p.m. on Friday, March 6. If history repeats itself, this pop-up event might just sell out on the early side, so plan to get on over there in a timely fashion. If you’ve ever found yourself salivating over the aromas of sizzling bacon, eggs, and sassy spices wafting through the Saturday West Side Farmers Market, then you know what I’m

talking about. Chef Austin Kaye and company know how to turn on-thespot, from-scratch organic food into al fresco meals to remember. Listen up: On the Back Porch menu for Friday are those savory $5 pancakes with the lilting name of Okonomiyake, involving potato, cabbage, Japanese mayonnaise and bonito flakes, and yes, you can have yours with pork belly for a mere dollar more. And then there will be sweet miso tofu skewers for $5, or ground chicken skewers for $6. I’m intrigued by the mere idea of carrot and pea potato croquettes, and for a meal in a bowl you’ll want to sample the $10 Back Porch version

Outstanding in the Field is launching its 2015 tour in a few minutes (on March 20) and the tables will be set this upcoming season in all 50 states.

Yes, that is a rather large expansion from the first Santa Cruz-based gleam in owner Jim Denevan’s eye.

Outstanding’s locally stocked atmospheric al fresco tables will be set in California from May 2 through July 6; the Pacific Northwest July 11 through 21; and in the Rockies during early August. Then the adventurous tour continues moving eastward, hitting New England on August 20, winding through choice farms and fields in the east, along the Atlantic, through the South, back up the Midwest and then wrapping up in October in the Southwest and home.

Devoted to reconnecting diners with food in the very surroundings where it is grown, this dining tour visits farms—and their farmers—and whips up outdoor meals that reflect region and season. Locally-made wines are chosen to urge all flavors to maximum divinity. Since tickets are not getting any cheaper, this might be the year to take your sweetie to savor something quite memorable. Tickets go on sale March 20, the first day of spring. Visit outstandinginthefield. com for more information.

hen looking for a bottle of something to have with dinner, Gewürztraminer 2012 is not the first wine to come to mind. Given the popularity of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Pinot Noir—to name but a few—Gewürztraminer sits low on the totem pole.

Somewhat sweeter than most wines, Gewürztraminer is often drunk with dessert—as is a Sauterne or a port wine. That’s not to say, however, that Gewurz can’t ever be drunk with savory food. With its rich body and moderate acid, it pairs very well with turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes—but you don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to try some.

Although the Fogarty winery is situated in Woodside, it’s part of the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation and is a member of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association (SCMWA). Wineries in SCMWA run from as far as Woodside in the north to Gilroy in the south, and there are now around 70 belonging to the association. Thomas Fogarty, a retired heart surgeon, founded his

winery in 1981 and has had a very successful second career. His awardwinning wines can be found in a number of local restaurants and on many a supermarket shelf.

Fruit for this Gewurz ($19) was harvested from the Scheid Viento Vineyard in Salinas Valley, where the climate produces excellent Gewurz grapes, especially in 2012.

The result is a beautiful Gewurz with classic rose and ginger aromatics.

Floral notes, tropical fruit and spice flavors make this a standout wine.

Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards, 19501 Skyline Blvd., Woodside. Tel: (650) 851-6777. fogartywinery.com. Open for wine tasting Monday noon to 4 p.m. and Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you visit the tasting room, look online for directions. The winery recommends that you don’t use GPS.

MAIN STREET CHANGE Main Street Garden & Café changed its name last month to La Gioconda, and it’s now under new Italian ownership. The restaurant has been completely renovated and reopened on Feb. 18, with a focus on Northern Italian contemporary cuisine.

Water Street Grill YOLO gets reincarnated BY JACOB PIERCE

J

onathan Degeneres purchased YOLO from previous owner Richard Perez last year. He gave the comfort food restaurant a soft reopening in the fall and rebranded it Water Street Grill, adding items like a Bourbon Street Chicken dish. It had its grand opening last month, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

What’s a soft opening like?

Did you keep menu items from YOLO? Absolutely, yes. When I did the soft opening I still had the name YOLO. The customers suggested they loved the mac and cheese. [The previous owners] were really nice guys. The customers loved certain items. Why would I get rid of it? When they come, they still feel the past, but I added so much. They only had a onepage menu. I have four pages. I just added key items.

Correct. What we did was modify.

People can get what they want from the past. A lot of things they only had on special, now [customers] can get any time. For example, wild salmon.

That used to be once a week. You can get that any time.

Do you ever grab a drink at Callahan’s, your neighborhood dive?

Not yet. Here’s the thing: they’re helping us a lot. We have a menu we made for them. It has some stuff not even for our menu. If they want a burger, I don’t want to give them the kids’ menu. We have a two-page menu made for them. If they have an event going on, we get six to eight people ordering. We deliver it to them, because we’re right next door.

We even have a special aluminumbased container for them next door.

What’s a unique dish you have?

We have a quesadilla burger. You won’t see it everywhere. We actually chop the tomato to make our own Mexican ranch for a flavor sauce.

Seasoning helps.

JONATHAN DEGENERES: It helped us modify the menu. I wanted to take time to make sure I’m not just doing one item my way. After they ate, they gave us a comment card.

So, they’d tell us what they think.

I’m here for the long haul, so I want to get it right.

In the next month itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to see yourself as valuable. Perhaps this is difficult. If so, make lists of all your gifts, abilities, talents, good deeds, thoughts, ideas and plans. In these you will discover your value. Place these lists on your walls. Read and review daily. These initiate your self-identity as a server for humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the task for all Aries in the Aquarian Age.

You will assess your relationships in terms of their value.

Not value as in money but virtues. Simultaneously, assess the values you offer others and if there is more you can give of Goodwill which creates Right Relations. Allow only the goodness of yourself in relationships. Goodness is a purity and an inner quality. What is your goodness and what do you offer others? Include all relationships.

Remember true love isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a feeling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a choice.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of March 4

k u kazu SPRING

It is a week of many different festivals along with a full moon, all occurring simultaneously.

Thursday Chinese New Year celebrations end with the Lantern Festival (at full moon). Thursday is also the Pisces Solar festival (full moon), Purim (Jewish Festival) and Holi (Hindu New Year Festival). Sunday, March 8, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. The festival of Purim celebrates the freedom of the Hebrew people from the cruel Haman (a magistrate) seeking to destroy them.

Esther, the Queen of Persia, who was secretly Jewish, saved her people from death. The sweet cookie hamentaschen celebrates this festival.

Friday, March 6, is Holi, the Hindu Spring Festival celebrated after the March full moon.

Bonfires are lit the night before, warding off evil.

Holi, the Festival of Colors, is the most colorful

festival in the world.

It is also the Festival of Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of Radha for Krishna (the blue-colored God).

It is a spring festival with singing, dancing, carnivals, food and bhang, a drink made of cannabis leaves. Holi signifies good over evil, ridding oneself of past errors, ending conflicts through rapprochement (returning to each other).

It is a day of forgiveness, including debts. Holi also marks the beginning of New Year.

At the Pisces Solar festival we recite the seed thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We leave the Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and, turning back, we save.â&#x20AC;? Great Teachers remain on Earth until all of humanity is enlightened. The New Group of World Servers is called to this task and sacrifice. Sacrifice (from the heart) is the first Law of the Soul, the heart of which is Love. This sacrifice saves the world.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re knowledgeable and have the skills needed for your next creative endeavor for humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Resources are hidden away too, though still available. But you must call it forth while tending to practical things. Eliminate (give away) as much as possible.

GEMINI May 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20 Past friends, relationships, and past resources are contacted, discovered and renewed. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re valuable for reasons revealed in the future. A certain group, also from the past, holds great Love/Wisdom (Ray 2, Geminiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ray). They hold out to you technical possibilities and a way to enter the life stream of humanity through study and understanding of the mysteries. You should be studying your transits/astrology.

Ponder upon how you want to be seen, known and recognized in the world and how you want to help build the new culture and civilization. You are to nurture the new era at its foundational stages. Begin your garden soon, have a worm bin, create bio-dynamic soil, use organic seeds. Then teach everyone what you learned.

Cancer needs to move from feeding the world to helping them feed themselves.

VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22 You may struggle mentally to maintain equilibrium between what you desire and what is actually possible.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to study the subject of sacrificeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the first Law of the Soul. At the center of sacrifice is Love. Love and sacrifice are the same. We are on earth because we sacrificed (chose) to be here. You may feel youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become the warrior. You have. Spiritual warriors are always triumphant.

SCORPIO Oct23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov21 Tend daily to all thing small and necessary. Give them your deepest attention. Observe habits, agendas, your work, environments and others in your worlds. And how to care for yourself. We evolve step by step. We begin with tending to our physical, emotional and mental bodies. Then we progress to things spiritual. Each day â&#x20AC;&#x153;brood" upon the service needed for the coming day. Ask for Soul direction. The personality then calms.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec20 The outcome of a long-held creative dream has come true.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re redefining, reassessing and reaffirming its importance as part of your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. In the meantime, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called to two things. Amusement and play, much needed and much missed recently. Acknowledge your creative work reflects who you are now, and part of who you will become. All parts of you are aligning in a close spiritual unity. This is good.

CAPRICORN Dec21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan20 You see the need for nourishment of the self and of others. One source of nourishment is financial security.

Another is the design and layout of your home, its rooms, the garden, etc. Make sure as you tend to your home and its practical beauty, that you have a special workspace for yourself, for your creative home arts. Your creativity is most important for the home and family at this time.

Work on this. And in the garden of your dreams.

AQUARIUS Jan21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18 Things seem so many things paradoxical - wild, a bit outof-control, thing dissolving, hurting, illuminated. Eliminate all not absolutely necessary, including that treasure trove of saved things. New interests, new sources of information, new identity are appearing. This identity is yourself. You are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;returned angelâ&#x20AC;? come to help humanity steer itself down stream in a lifeboat. You are to identify, work with and bring in the new culture and civilization. What part can and do you want to play? Think deeply on this.

PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20 Life becomes more subtle, a bit out of focus, very different with deep feelings of compassion awakening. Pay debts, then tithe (give)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;St. Judeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital; Catholic Charities; Doctors Without Borders; UNESCO; Red Cross.

These are difficult financial times. However the spiritual law is whatsoever we give is returned ten-fold so we can give again.

When we serve others our life is spiritually cared for. The third Law of the Soul is service. Hang lanterns everywhere.

Occupation: Office manager Hobbies: Golf, golf, and more golf, cooking, babysitting Astrological Sign: Aquarius Is Shopper’s your go-to market? Yes, it is. I’m here six days a week. I live on the Westside and rarely shop the chain markets or the big box stores. I love to cook and make gourmet meals, and can find everything I need in one store. I just found the perfect flour here, “Double O,” for making great pizza. Shopper’s is the only store where I buy my meat because of the quality, and the butchers are smoking hot. They’re very helpful — they’ll do anything for you. Ale (Alejandro) turned me onto cross rib (I also use two other meats) for my chili; he cut it into quarter-inch cubes and it was the best chili ever!

Are you a fan of Shopper’s specialty products?

Oh, yes. Their cheeses are great, and you can get all the nuts you need for anything. I like that they have a lot of imported wines, especially French, also Spanish and Argentine varieties. You can also get the special canned tomatoes from Italy. I also appreciate the local products such as the coffees, Gizdich apple cider, and the excellent local berries and apples. The veggies are fresh and really good.

They carry a lot of organic selections which is important. I used to live down the street from Shopper’s in the ’70s and it still feels like the place to go.

How so? It feels homey. I like the size. The big stores have way too many items which take up too much room. Here, we have all the the good things: we don’t need 12 choices of tomato sauce. The service has always been friendly; you can always find someone on the floor if you need help. I came in one morning on my way to play golf around 7 a.m. I wanted to buy a pre-wrapped sandwich and was told they were in the back.

I waited 5-6 minutes and the deli person came out with a sandwich that she made just for me. That was really nice instead of saying, ’Sorry, they’re not ready yet.’
