LOCAL TALK

Do you think the shutdown of Highway 17 was an effective form of protest?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

No. It was a complete and total misguided attempt by people that probably have rich parents to disrupt thousands of peoples lives, and it just makes no sense. It was pointless.

KEVIN ROBERTS

SANTA CRUZ | MORTGAGE BANKER

No, not this one. This one went overboard and has people very angry and upset at them. I’ve never heard such negative reactions to a protest ever before.

VAUGHN VISNIUS

SANTA CRUZ | ELECTRICIAN/PHOTOGRAPHER

It seems like it was something that probably built more resentment than sympathy for their cause.

JAMES LAFFERTY

SANTA CRUZ | WEB DEVELOPER

SHELBY MILLER

SANTA CRUZ | DELI SUPERVISOR

No. I think they enraged a lot of people, and inconvenienced a lot of people that don’t have anything to do with raising tuitions.

KEVIN GLYNN

SANTA CRUZ | SALES REP

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MARCH 11-17, 2015

I think it was effective. It was a cool protest, I totally get what they’re trying to get out there. But the location was really stupid because it pissed off more people and made them less sympathetic.

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 backward. 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 10 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.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: DRONE ON I love drones, I even have one, and I will probably attend this conference. But the thought of aerial buzzards commuting over the hill seems more of a noise pollution nightmare than a future utopian vision.

If they’re going to fly overhead in large numbers, someone needs to figure out how to make them silent as well as safe.

SWEET TOOTH As with all addictions, sugar addiction is tolerance-based: The more we consume the more we crave.

Sugar Fix When it comes to sugar, our brains are wired to want more and more BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE other, and should be treated in the same way,” says Mary Toscano, a local certified nutrition educator and author of “Sweet Fire: Sugar, Diabetes & Your Health.”

Modern science agrees with her: the biochemical mechanism behind sugar addiction is no different than that of other addictions.

Whether it be to alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, gambling, or sugar, the neurotransmitter dopamine is the driving force behind all addictions.

Neurotransmitters are the brain’s chemical messengers, and dopamine is one of the most powerful, producing feelings of extreme well-being.

Basically, the dopamine feedback loop is our brain’s mysterious way of rewarding itself for behavior that it deems essential for survival.

It’s a brain response that evolved to encourage our ancient ancestors to binge and fatten up during times of plenty in order to prepare for future famine. But the same system that once ensured our survival is now leading to our demise—and there is some evidence that sugar may be even more addictive than drugs. A study in 2013 conducted at Connecticut College found that the pleasure centers in rats’ brains were turned on even more by Oreos than by cocaine or morphine.

The most dangerous aspect of sugar addiction is that it is literally toxic. Sugar harms our DNA at a cellular level, causing us to age faster and speeding up the onset of chronic disease. It’s the perfect food for today’s immediate-gratification culture, because, once it is eaten,

mericans consume an average of 150-170 pounds of sugar a year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. That equates to about three pounds of the white stuff a week, and a ¼-½ pound of sugar a day. And the problem is only getting worse; Americans now consume about triple the amount of sugar that we consumed only a hundred years ago.

What’s puzzling is that this increase in sugar consumption comes at a time when Americans know more about just how dangerous and deadly it can be. If we know better, why aren’t we doing better? Is it possible that we’re addicted?

“Absolutely, no question. Sugar addiction is an addiction like any

sugar enters the bloodstream rapidly, inducing positive feelings of wellbeing and euphoria. But high bloodsugar levels due to overconsumption are often the first domino to fall in almost every major health condition.

“Blood sugar levels affect every system in the body,” Toscano says.

“With any major health challenge— from cancer, hormone imbalances, to heart disease—no treatment is going to be effective unless the issue of blood sugar is addressed.” It’s a point that cannot be stressed enough, and one that has defined a career rebirth for Toscano as a health advocate and author.

Baked goods like bagels, as well as cereals, juices, and sodas contain much more sugar than one might suppose. Picture a standard sugar cube, which contains 4 grams of sugar. One 12-ounce serving of your average soda or juice contains the equivalent of 10 sugar cubes. And a normal bagel contains the equivalent of a whopping 12 sugar cubes. With this much sugar hiding in so many staples of the American diet, it’s easy to see how sugar consumption has gotten totally out of control.

“Sugar is the most slippery of addictions because we need food to live,” writes Toscano in her book.

“Alcoholics and drug addicts can swear off their respective poisons, gamblers can avoid games of chance, but eating is not an optional activity.”

Just as with other addictions, sugar consumption is tolerance-based. So, if less sugar is consumed, less sugar is craved. Once the palate and brain are used to little or no sugar, resisting and avoiding it altogether becomes much easier.

If you must have those sweet taste buds on the tip of your tongue activated from time to time, reach for fruit or natural sweeteners like Stevia.

Chemical-based artificial sweeteners are everywhere as well, but they come with their own set of potential health problems and concerns. Watering down juices or sodas is one effective strategy for reducing sugar intake, as is opting for whole-grain varieties of items like breads and cereals—which contain less sugar and more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber than their refined counterparts.

NEWS SHUT DOWN OR SHUT UP? Public opinion in Santa Cruz polarized after 96 hours of student protests

MARCH 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

12

Nonviolent protesting is somewhat of a local pastime in Santa Cruz, but the reaction from community members to six students shutting down the southbound Highway 17 lanes near Ocean Street last Tuesday was less than enthusiastic.

The highway shutdown kicked off 96 hours of disruptive action protesting proposed tuition hikes, racism, and police brutality. In response, social media exploded; GT’s Twitter and Facebook accounts received an overwhelming wave of mostly negative comments from residents—many of whom said they support civil disobedience, but that the students’ anger was misdirected.

“I’m all for protesting … but only when it’s done positively and constructively.

Chaos isn’t a bad thing. But today was just plain ridiculous, shameful, selfish and not positive at all,” wrote one Facebook commenter in reaction to the highway shutdown.

City councilmember Micah Posner agreed that the methods were ultimately ineffective—saying that protests should motivate people, not alienate them. But ultimatel,y the police department came out on top, he says, calling their restraint the “high point” of the week’s events.

Posner says he’s definitely not happy with the tuition increases, but he’s equally disenchanted with how students chose to respond.

“We have the lowest voter turnout in the history of UCSC,” Posner says. “Students aren’t feeling powerful and engaged and I’m really sad about that, because I think that student engagement is a really important part of our civic discourse.”

Ramona Rose, a third-year UCSC community studies major and student organizer who was active in the protests that shut down the campus on Thursday, says that the highway shutdown action was essential in gaining visibility for the movement.

“We operate in this system that doesn’t allow us to speak to our legislators and doesn’t allow us to work with these

From Bad to Worse

After a brutal campaign over a proposed merger, Lompico’s water crisis gets desperate BY BRAD KAVA

W

hen Lois Henry got a recent water bill charging her for only 600 gallons over two months, she knew something was wrong.

Yes, she was getting a good deal, because she uses more than that, despite doing her best to save. But she was seeing a bigger issue: she’s on the Lompico Water Board, and faulty meters are one of many problems plaguing the small district of 516 homes.

The district has only two employees and no manager. Fire hydrants haven’t been checked and purged in years. Insurance companies are canceling policies because of fire

danger. Old wooden water tanks are leaking badly. Fire officials say they don’t have enough water to deal with major fires. Billing is done with a hopelessly outdated DOS system, and officials have to check how much water is in the wells and tanks by looking at them, rather than with the computer systems used by up-to-date companies.

Most troubling is that it’s on the state’s list of 17 districts that could run out of water.

The five-member board came up with a solution—to have the district merge with the neighboring 7,300home San Lorenzo Valley Water District—but the proposal failed by one vote at the end of February, despite

support by a majority of residents.

It’s another example of how every vote counts, says County Clerk Gail Pellerin.

Now, no one is quite sure of the future of the district. In only the latest of many heated district meetings last Friday, the board proposed a $600-a-year rate increase to start the process of bringing the antiquated system up to date. But if more than 50 percent of the residents object to the increase, it could be shot down.

“Everything that makes up a water district has a life,” says Lois Henry, who has served on the Board for six years. “My meter is from the late ’70s.

It has never been replaced.”

Henry’s biggest worry is >14

have won by one vote, because the vast majority of people wanted to merge with San Lorenzo,” says resident (and GT ad rep) John Bland. “The hope is that we are going to get another vote next year.”

For two years, the district has had no manager, and two employees charged with reading meters and doing repairs. It’s not enough, says Henry.

“We need someone on duty 24/7,” she says. “It’s not enough to just have two people. They are getting burned out.”

If a water main broke, it would take five days for Lompico to fix it, says Zayante Fire District Chief John Stipes. SLV would have had it done in two hours. With the workload, they haven’t even checked and flushed fire hydrants regularly.

Here is what clients are saying about All Pets:

to a vote, where, because it involved spending, it required a two-thirds majority approval. Those who were against the plan claimed they would lose local control of the district, and also said it could be done more cheaply.

After the proposal was defeated by a single vote, ousted water board member Sherwin Gott, who opposed the merger, told the Santa Cruz Sentinel he was “proud” of his community.

On the website real-water.info, Gott produced estimates for repair work that would have been half what the district came up with.

However, the outcome angered many residents, who accused the anti-merger side of distortions and outright lies, including unrealistic cost estimates that didn’t include expenses such as a professional manager and adequate staffing.

“I can’t believe they are proud to

A human blockade gnarled morning traffic last Tuesday as six UCSC activists sat across Highway 17, their arms interlocked through metal tubes and cementfilled trash cans. The disruption began at 9:25 in the morning, according to the California Highway Patrol; “We got a call of a U-Haul truck stopping traffic and blocking lanes and unloading people. Then they set up their protest,” says Bradley Sadek, CHP public information officer.

Traffic was blocked for about four hours, and six UCSC students were arrested at the scene; Ethan Pezzow, Alexander Pearce, Sophia DiMatteo, Jeanine Caceres, Lori Nixon and Sasha Petterson. They were all initially charged with three misdemeanors—creating a public nuisance, failure to obey a lawful order, and failure to obey an executive order from a peace officer—and one felony charge of

conspiracy to execute a crime.

The UCSC administration announced that the students would be suspended from classes for two weeks.

GT arrived on the scene at about 12:30 p.m. as a squad of riot police from the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department began walking up the southbound shoulder of Highway 17 to the blockade. About 75 law enforcement officers were on hand, including CHP, SCPD, UCSC Police and County Sheriff.

Caltrans and Fire Department personnel also helped to dismantle the blockade.

A CHP helicopter landed on the highway around 1 p.m. “We have some people who’ve been specifically trained in how to dismantle those kinds of civil disturbances. They were flown in on the helicopter,” Sadek explained. “50-gallon garbage cans were filled with concrete and reinforced with rebar, steel mesh and chains.”

No injuries were reported

as caution was taken with a variety of tools used to dismantle the objects, including chop saws, grinders, jackhammers, pneumatic jaws, sledge hammers and pry bars. CHP said that none of the activists resisted arrest and that officers helped them with earplugs, safety goggles and masks. One activist wore a sign that read, “I Am Not A Loan.”

The nonviolent lockdown was part of 96 hours of protest against tuition hikes and police violence. Local law enforcement told GT they were prepared for something, but were caught by surprise when students locked themselves together. “There had been intel at UCSC that there might be protests,” explained CHP. Highway 17 was blockaded in January 1991, when UCSC students took to the streets as the U.S. military began bombing Iraq.

Two days after the Highway 17 blockade last week, UCSC entrances were blocked and classes were cancelled. GT was at the east entrance, where

75 students and supporters ´ chanted, “Money for books and education, not for cops and incarceration!” Conrad, a UCSC employee who asked that his last name not be used, told GT that nonviolent political action is part of the university’s legacy. “UCSC teaches students that they’re the authority on questioning authority,” he says.

A hat was passed to raise legal defense funds for the six students who’d been arrested for blocking Highway 17. When student activist Barucha Peller used a megaphone to announce, “The UCSC Highway 6 had their charges dropped to two misdemeanors,” the gathering cheered heartedly. Peller claims the students’ right to due process was violated when the university suspended them. She told GT, “Following the Ferguson movement, people have switched to more militant tactics and realized we need to blockade and shut stuff down.” JOHN MALKIN

people who are in charge of the UC—in charge of funding. This is what we’re left with,” Rose told GT on the phone from the protests at the west entrance on Thursday.

In response to community insistence that protests be kept at UCSC, Rose says they’ve already tried that, with poor results.

After attending the Regent’s meeting in November, occupying the Humanities building on campus, and meeting with Chancellor Blumenthal and the Student Union Assembly, protesters felt they’d made little headway—so they went for something a little louder to get attention.

Rose says that postponing the fee increase to next Fall, as UC President Janet Napolitano announced in late February, isn’t nearly enough.

“I think the community should just really become educated about these things and maybe if there’s more of an uproar we could stop this; we’re in a desperate situation here,” says Rose. “If we don’t resist this, who’s going to?”

Shortly after the six UCSC students responsible for Tuesday’s highway shutdown were arrested, a petition circulated on the Internet to get them expelled from school.

The creator of the petition could not be reached.

“The ironic thing about this is that students are fighting for education and fighting to end police brutality. The people who are in this community and even people who are not in this community who signed this petition—they’re signing something to expel them from an education. It’s very ironic,” says Rose about the petition.

The protest was worth angering locals because of all the media coverage it received, says Rose, and she hopes it will spark conversation about the issues.

Scott Hernandez-Jason, director of news and media relations for UCSC, says that Thursday’s protests went smoothly, but that community members weren’t the only ones inconvenienced.

“A lot of students are really frustrated

because the libraries needed to be closed, and students are a couple of weeks away from finals,” he says. “While there are students protesting there are thousands and thousands of students who just want to continue their education, and that’s not happening.”

Scott-Hernandez points out that UC president Janet Napolitano and governor Jerry Brown have been in talks about tuition, and unveiled the Stability Plan so that families can at least budget for future increases—even if they say tuition hikes are inevitable without legislative change.

Chancellor Blumenthal and Campus Provost/Executive Vice Chancellor Alison Galloway condemned the highway actions in a statement released Tuesday that said although the university supports free speech, obstructing traffic in ways that could jeopardize lives is unacceptable.

“You have to wonder how effective it is in building support for a cause if the people who are aware of the cause are now sort

of shaking their heads at the tactics,” says Hernandez-Jason. “The line gets drawn when it starts infringing on other people’s rights.

That’s no way to have a society—when one group decides to take rights away from another group.”

Some locals do support the student protestors—in a letter to GT, resident Craig Stevens called them “courageous” and even “heroes” for going through with the action even though they knew it would be unpopular within the community.

Far more numerous, however, were angry reactions like the one from Roberta Ligando of Aptos, whose letter to GT suggested student protesters be given a taste of their own medicine: “Apparently some UCSC students think that we townies are responsible for the high cost of their tuition ... I suggest the we gather and block entrances to UCSC on 4-20. Then, students will not be able to get access to the meadow, where they would have smoked pot.”

NEWS FROM BAD TO WORSE <14 although the area has been lucky so far in not having to face one.

“For years, Santa Cruz was called the ‘asbestos county’ by insurance companies because we had so few big fires,” he says. “Now we’ve had a bunch of fires in the past six years and insurance companies are using their own ratings and canceling people.”

He says his department could handle a bigger fire, but that the residents may not have water for five days afterwards.

State Assemblyman Mark Stone was also unhappy about the outcome.

"I’m disappointed that the bond measure failed,” he says. “The next steps for residents of Lompico and water district will take a while to sort out. I remain supportive of finding a solution so the residents of Lompico have access to a long term, sustainable water supply."

Merger supporters say the opponents are giving out bad or incomplete information. They compare them to Tea Partiers who are against government but offer no alternatives for how to govern.

The districts meetings have become something of a circus, with the sheriffs having to be called several times when the opponents refused to give up the floor and were yelling over the other side. There was a threat of violence and a man was pushed by a former board member last March, according to Henry.

Opponents of the merger claim that the state will bail them out with loans or that the San Lorenzo district will help them if they run out of water. The SLVWD had been very generous with a pipe supplying water and with repairs, before the failed vote. Since then, it has stepped back.

“If we get in trouble, they think we can depend on this emergency line,” says Bland. “But when we have a surplus, we aren’t willing to give it to them. That doesn’t make sense.”

Added Stipes, the fire chief: “Their big thing was to keep it local, I thought San Lorenzo Valley, being where we live, is local, but not local enough for them. They have delusions of grandeur. How they think they will fix it all without spending money is beyond me.”

You u see it in a different light. Yo You share in n an inttellectual experience that grows from month m to month.”

Prottti’s book group is made up of pro ofessional women with young childrren. ren “We We e read our books by the light of the nightlight in some cases,” she says. “But “ it is time just for us—to remem mber what it is like to be an adult, to remember what it is like to slow w down our fast-paced lives to spend d some real time thinking withou ut distra actions.

TURNING PAGES, TAKING NAMES The beginning of book clubs as domestic gathering places was directly tied to the intellectual aspirations of women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Literary societiesâ&#x20AC;? in the 18th and 19th centuries were the precursor to modern book clubs, created by women seeking self-empowerment and alternatives to the formal educational systems to which they had little or no formal access. These casual meetings quietly gained traction in the larger culture, and ultimately played a role in advancing social issues like womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffrage.

Book club membership broadened to include men and the middle class through early mail-order clubs like

the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Literary Guild, both founded in the 1920s, and the Great Books Foundation in the 1940s. These gatekeepers, along with emerging magazines like The New Yorker, set about cultivating literary and cultural taste in the masses, often emphasizing the western canon as a means to class distinction and public discourse.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s that book clubs re-emerged as consciousness-raising opportunities, reflecting the storm of social and feminist issues that were emerging at the time. This shift brought book clubs full circle, setting the stage for their highest-profile champion ever to rise above the airwaves like a latter-day literary goddess,

CLUB PARADISE own spin on the subject: “Reading groups, readings, breakdowns of book sales all tell the same story: when women stop reading, the novel will be dead.”

In Franzen’s case, revealing his ambivalence made for an awkward discussion, but an important one. It might have even highlighted one of the great gifts that book clubs have to offer: a reading democracy.

THE POLITICS OF CLUBBING Members of book clubs in Santa Cruz seem to take a particular pride in the democratic nature of such groups. Felton book club leader Eunice LeMay—who has had to assure several would-be members of her group, Reading in the Redwoods, that it meets in the Felton Library, not a forest grove—echoes Casey Coonerty Protti’s sentiment about the importance of a range of voices in any book club.

“What I value is that members offer opinions and perspectives I haven’t thought of,” says LeMay. “Because of them I read things I wouldn’t normally read, and it makes me rethink my assumptions.”

Elisabeth Bertrand Russell of Ravenous Readers (currently reading Russka, by Edward Rutherfurd, which was probably recommended by the group’s passionate historian, Lou Chiaramonte, Jr.) likes how her community of readers transforms and enhances the experience.

“Reading books is a solitary endeavor,” she says. “It’s a delight to be able to come together, from this solitary place, to share books with other people who love books.”

Duane Adams of the Scandinavian Book Club (currently racing through The Keeper of Lost Causes, by Jussi Adler-Olsen) values the group’s ability to stretch beyond their immediate experience into the “day-to-day life and dirty laundry” of Scandinavian culture (there go my assumptions about crisp white linens and Maypoles) through historical fiction and crime novels.

planting the seeds of relatable reading in ground made fertile by the widespread desire among women for connection and role models.

That was, of course, Oprah Winfrey, whose first book club began in 1996. Over the following years, as she gently nudged her viewing audience back to the bookstore—and in the process talked the skittish book business down from the ledge—her 70 book picks sold over 55 million copies. When she selected Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina for her classics book club, it doubled the book’s total U.S. sales since 1886 in one week. Even today, long after the end of her famed television show, her book club 2.0 picks still earn a substantial sales bump, handsomely rewarding any author lucky enough to bask in the glow of the “Oprah effect.”

There have been authors who weren’t so grateful, however. OK, one: Jonathan Franzen found himself in the crosshairs after sharing his mixed feelings when Oprah picked his book The Corrections for her book club. He told a reporter from the Philadelphia Inquirer that he thought his novel “is a hard book for that audience,” and in another interview worried about losing male readership, saying that Winfrey had “picked enough schmaltzy, one-dimensional ones that I cringe, myself.” In fairness, he also said, “I think she’s really smart and she’s really fighting the good fight,” and went on to heal the rift between them when she picked his next book, Freedom, as well. But his earlier comments served to highlight gender and class bias against book clubs that brought angry rebukes.

It’s easy to picture our Victorian great-grandmothers sighing deeply, with flourish, as if to say, “Really?

Still?”

However much certain “high art” writers may look down scornfully at book clubs, the bottom line is clear: women purchase the majority of books in the U.S. by a margin of almost 60 percent, and some in the book industry say they drive fiction sales by as much as 80 percent. Author Ian McEwan put his

clubs to be some kind of exercise in groupthink, think again. Things can get downright testy.

“It’s a great space to both encourage and challenge each other over a couple drinks and a good read,” says Bobby Marchessault of Christian Books and Beer (currently mulling over Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? by Brian McLaren). Amen to books and beer.

Nor are book clubs homogeneous in form—in fact, they have evolved into a multitude of fascinating permutations. Santa Cruz’s Deb Hopewell belongs to a book club for couples that likes to call itself “a wine club with a book problem.”

They tend to read books by foreign authors such as Wasted Vigil and A Marker to Measure Drift, and find the male/female mix to be a happy nonissue. (Note: Wine helps.)

Food, it seems, is an everpresent companion to great book conversation. Protti looks forward to book club meetings at Avanti restaurant, while Miriam Stombler’s

group, the Bad Girl’s Book Club, likes to share “a sumptuous meal inspired by the book.” They recently indulged in mango lobster salad while sharing laughs and insights about the book Last Night at the Lobster.

A BOOK CLUB HOW-TO One thing is certain: fortified by Cabernet or chai, fancy feasts or simple scones; gathered on buses, in forests, church basements or online; book clubs are no endangered species. Instead, they are chameleons, endlessly adaptable and native to everywhere. They could use a few more dudes, of course, but men are participating in growing numbers. We all need a reason to eat and drink with friends, trade obscure historical facts, search out racy passages in Philip Roth novels, and show off pictures of our cars … I mean cats … I mean kids.

Amazon’s Anti-Oprah book club lists some pretty manly titles—including a personal favorite, Confederacy of Dunces, as well as Slaughterhouse Five,

CLUB PARADISE

1

Don’t flake. You made a commitment—not like the one you made to your ex or your diet, more like the one you made to your sanity and your self-respect.

2

Read the book. The whole book.

No, you can’t keep commenting on the only part you actually read.

No, you can’t see the movie instead.

No, you can’t try to postpone the meeting so you can finish the book.

No, you can’t skip the meeting, claiming to have a death in the family, a sick pet, or a stalled car, if

it’s not true. Read. The. Book. Even if the cocktails are fantastic, it’s still why you’re here.

3

You will have to read some books you didn’t choose, and a few you don’t like. Be nice. When called upon to comment, don’t sum up by saying “Total crap.” Show class and ease into the disdain. Most book groups are actually interested in why you didn’t like a book.

4 5

Pick paperback books that are still in print, people.

You’ll probably encounter fellow book club members who occasionally say or do things that give you the urge to roll your eyes and unleash the snark. Resist this urge.

6

Bring thoughtful discussion points, but no soliloquies or monologues.

7

Hosting duties will eventually roll around to you. Don’t worry, the cat can handle a few guests.

8

While drinking is admittedly a book club tradition, practice moderation. Drunken book talk can get very esoteric. Do you want to discuss what the hell Thomas Pynchon was trying to say after knocking back half a bottle of Merlot? Neither do I.

9

Try to stay on topic. Wandering into the conversational woods is one of the joys of any book club, but be wary of going too far, lest you find yourself comparing notes on the best time to hit Costco and wondering, how did we get here?

10

Look around the room.

These are people who you might not run into under any other circumstances, but, like you, they’re passionate, curious readers who’ve chosen to come together around books and ideas. Bask in the glow.

also outstanding. Mark Zuckerberg has promised to read Creativity, Inc. by next Tuesday, so if you want to keep up, gentlemen, join in.

For the last six months, I’ve been a member of a wonderful book club with no clever name. But I was nervous about taking the plunge.

They celebrated 25 years together at a retreat this past summer, and came back with customized book bags lined with fabric that displayed book titles they’d read over the years (I have a 13-page printout of the list).

Even in the wake of such impressive history, they were gracious enough to welcome a newbie, and I was honored to join them. When discussing books, they present a treasure trove of background information—maps, photos, author bios, related history, random artifacts—that fleshes out whatever we’re reading and brings it to life.

I, meanwhile, feel sort of like the smart-ass kid who claims her homework was eaten by the dog. But joining has reminded me that while we read alone, true understanding tends to grow best in the presence of others, cultivated by close listening and good questions, tested by different opinions and points of view, and reinforced by empathy and a willingness to meet halfway (sometimes geographically). Throw in some laughter, food, libation and props, and it’s a party.

If you choose to join a book club— and you should—here are a few rules of the road:

“I thought it would be a very dramatic intro, because to me that song means misunderstood people, and I feel like as pole dancers we are very misunderstood,” Ryker says.

Pole dancing actually began as an acrobatic sport—far away from the raunch of strip clubs.

In fact, according to the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association, it has roots in the traditional Indian Mallakhamb sport in which athletes (generally male) perform on a vertical wooden pole.

Spring S pring C Cleanse leanse

<28 Pole,” which dates back to the 12th century.

Pole dancing didn’t become enmeshed with “exotic dancing” until around 1968, when Fawnia Dietrich brought it to Oregon (of all places), and taught the first class. There’s even been an increasing push to include pole dancing as an Olympic sport, as it requires just as much gymnastic agility, balance and flexibility as other acrobatic sports.

“Pole Diversity” will feature dancers on the pole doing everything from daring drops to gravity-defying “Iron X’s”—where the performer holds himself or herself out from the pole, parallel to the ground in the shape of an “X.” It’s an acrobatic show, not an erotic one, says Ryker.

And she’s adamant—“Pole Diversity” is meant to bring in the wider community and change their minds about the sport.

“So many people ask if kids can come—yeah, of course, it’s like any other kind of athletic show,” says Ryker. “Most of us go to the studio but we have something else in our lives—like I’m a math student and it’s like, do I say that I pole dance? Is that going to make people not respect me? It’d be nice if we didn’t have to even think about that.”

‘Pole Diversity’ is at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 13 and Friday, March 14, at Aerial Arts Santa Cruz, 2801 Mission Street Extension, Santa Cruz. Tickets at polediversity.brownpapertickets. com, $10-$15.

and bustiers only for the look— showing so much skin is actually a necessity.

“It’s just your skin on metal. A lot of people probably don’t know this but you actually can’t wear a lot of clothes on a metal pole because your skin is what sticks to the pole,” explains Ryker. “You pull your skin up on it and that’s what is holding you, so the more skin you have exposed the safer you are.”

To Ryker, pole dancing is a show of acrobatics and strength; without those components you won’t get very far. Needless to say, beginners to the sport get a lot of skin burns—a metal pole is not very forgiving—and developing solid upper body strength is critical because “just climbing on the pole is exhausting,” says Ryker.

Ryker, who teaches pole dancing at Aerial Arts when she’s not busy pursuing a Ph.D. in math at UCSC, says she was on the track to bodybuilding when she started on the pole. But body building was too focused on looks and not enough on strength, she says.

Pole dancing actually began as an acrobatic sport—far away from the raunch of strip clubs. In fact, according to the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association, it has roots in the traditional Indian Mallakhamb sport in which athletes (generally male) perform on a vertical wooden pole. Circus acts have also long featured a version of pole dance using a rubber-coated pole, or “Chinese

AND IT STONED ME Michael Eckerman at his studio in Santa Cruz.

Rock On

34

Michael Eckerman’s rock work mimics the sea BY CHRISTINA WATERS

M

ichael Eckerman tinkers, experiments, and fabricates his undulating stonework in an Eastside compound that looks as if J.R.R. Tolkien had settled down in suburban bohemia. Eckerman calls what he does “free-form rock work.”

That pretty much describes him, too.

You’ve seen his work— in sudden spherical monoliths that pop up on Santa Cruz street corners, or in the commissioned fireplaces, gateways, and walls of private residences of Santa Cruz, each one capturing the rush of ocean waves—in stone.

Handsome and lanky, with

mischief in his eye and worn, leathery hands, Eckerman arrived in Santa Cruz 35 years ago after wandering, playing, and building his stonework signatures all over the world. “I got into this kind of building from friends I met in Israel,” he says, where he was briefly incarcerated for smuggling, back and forth from Quebec to Israel the route took him. “I wasn’t very successful as a smuggler," he says with a grin.

That’s when his first son Ea was born. Ea—known for colorful surftheme watercolors—was raised by his mom in Oahu, and came out to

live with his Dad to study at UCSC. The father and son often work on projects together.

“I’m doing dogs now,” Eckerman tells me, running his hands over a life-sized canine with pale blue glass eyes, made of welded steel rod and filled with soft river rocks. “Our dog died in ’07,” he says, pausing briefly, “and I started making dogs.” Eckerman’s labyrinth of front porches, studios, photo lab, machine shop and outdoor work spaces is an appealing wilderness. “I built it so that the kids could always come and stay here,” he says. He nods in the direction of the cozy

wraparound sprawl punctuated by a wood-fired blue-tiled hot tub and giant bundles of driftwood awaiting future projects.

“We stumble into things, don’t we?” he responds when asked how he got started with this rock thing.

“At one point I traveled a lot—still do—and I met a guy in Spain. He had land in Quebec. He built a cabin and I built the fireplace. It worked.” One thing led to another and the jobs led to Santa Cruz, where he worked on the old Depot Restaurant in 1972. “I did the brick work and the pathways. They’re all gone now.”

Where does he get his rocks?

“I get ’em wherever I can,” he replies with a mock-demonic laugh.

Eckerman’s reach is vast. He’s done private residential work as well as public sculptures from Australia to Menlo Park, including work for Jack O’Neill, who wanted a certain kind of fireplace. “I do waves, but in a static material. That’s kind of interesting, isn’t it?” he grins, rhetorically. “It takes some patience, and I have patience.” He fits each rock carefully into the exact spot, feeling his way into the right fit. “There are so many sides to a rock,” he says. Eckerman does admit feeling a kinship with Scottish environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy, whom he’s met and who shares his fondness for found materials in nature.

Eckerman doesn’t plan to give up rocks for a while yet. “I still have to work for a living. I’m starting to feel it [age] in the hands and the feet.

I’ve always enjoyed working alone but now I do need assistants for big jobs. People to bring the rocks to me,” he says.

Even though “there are always jobs,” Eckerman doesn’t repeat himself. “I always want to do something original—have it stay exciting. I like to personalize it. I feel like a surfer—but with rock.”

Somehow, that makes sense.

Steel welding, tiles, rock sculpture, “I just do it all here,” he says, pointing to the well-stocked courtyard studios that ring his main workroom.

“It’s never for the money. Some things are more important than the money.”

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN? Ethan Miller (right) brings his band Howlin’ Rain to the Crepe Place on Thursday, March 12.

MARCH 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Secret ’Stache

36

Ethan Miller steps up really, really close to the mic on his surprisingly intimate new Howlin’ Rain record BY AARON CARNES

T

o fully grasp the uniqueness of Howlin’ Rain’s latest album, Mansion Songs, it helps to give their prior record a spin. Live Rain—which was released last year, but recorded live on their 2012 tour—is one of the band’s heaviest, hardest-rocking batch of recordings, performed at full throttle with singer Ethan Miller belting out some Chris-Cornell-meetsJanis-Joplin screams. The music is cathartic and borrows heavily from classic rock, with a tendency toward long and energetic jams. It’s a document of the Howlin’ Rain touring band at their grittiest.

This is not the band that played on Mansion Songs. In fact, by the time Miller sat down to write the record, he’d lost his band, his record label, and sense of focus. For the first time since his career began in 2000 with Comets on Fire, Miller says that his life slowed down long enough to take a deep breath—and he didn’t really know what he was going to do next.

“I never really had to take stock before. I just had to hang on with everything going on so fast,” Miller says. “There’s something extremely joyful and a little depressing about taking stock, especially as an artist.

Life’s been so fast—at some point you

look up and it’s 15 years later. You’re not about to step into the van on your first tour. I wanted to relate that mortal mix of joy and despair—just the passion of life without being able to comprehend anything.”

The sense of confusion comes across on the album. It’s moody, abstract and completely unlike the explosive nature of Live Rain and his prior studio record, the 2012 Rick-Rubin-produced The Russians Wild. The band is essentially pulling from the same classic rock/ blues influences, but it comes off a lot more restrained and nuanced.

“I wanted to make something that’s a little more glowing, instead

of exploding constantly. I feel like the live record was about as high as I wanted to take that classic-rock band thing. It’s a little over the top.

The opposite of all that is something internal,” Miller says.

Despite its internal nature, it’s not a quiet album. It actually jumps around quite a bit: loud, quiet, dark, joyous.

This is due in part to the fact that Miller didn’t have an actual band for the record, so much as various players for different songs.

As a singer, Miller is at his most experimental. He’s doing his best to ride the wave of each song’s mood.

On some of the quieter songs, he’s practically whispering—a far cry from the near constant rock ’n’ roll belting on Live Rain.

“I got the mic in front of me so close, my mustache hairs are getting in there and touching the capsule,” Miller says. “It’s turned up so loud that you can hear the dog upstairs barking—you can hear people out in Chinatown honking their horns.”

By the time the band recorded Live Rain, they were really hitting their stride in terms of chemistry, but Miller never intended Howlin’ Rain to be a solid band. He started it in 2006 as a side project from Comets on Fire, and used it as an outlet for different ideas with different musicians. He relished switching up players and seeing how the sound would change as a result.

“I’m not striving for consistency.

It makes a big difference the way you work and how you create. I capitalize on the extremes of those changes which allows the band to become a chameleon,” Miller says.

He says that Mansion Songs is the first in a trilogy of similarly themed albums. He’s really excited about it, even if he can’t completely explain the linking theme between them.

“I couldn’t stop writing. I had four people coming in to do a song that I’d had an arrangement for, then that afternoon I’d say, ‘Fuck it, we’re not doing it tonight. I just wrote a brand new song.’ I mean literally the last moment. Songs were just flowing out of me.”

They have an honest-to-goodness oldtimey string-plucking sound mashed together with the drive of a rock ’n’ roll bar band. These days a lot of indie-folk players seem to go either the super mellow route, or play hyper kinetic folk-punk. The Show Ponies have found a comfortable and distinctive place right in the middle. AC

Featuring works by two Bay Area composers, Santa Cruz Symphony’s aptly named Pacific Perspectives presents compositions by the late Lou Harrison, and the symphony’s own maestro, Daniel Stewart. Stewart’s Sinfonia includes nods to various pop cultural styles—including spaghetti Westerns, big band, and Argentine tango—while Harrison’s Pacifika Rondo is a celebration of the Pacific Basin.

Also on the program is Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

ROBOT POLICE Neil Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell’s ‘Chappie’ is set in a crime-ridden society that employs a fleet of robot police.

Wired Thing Spare parts don’t quite work together in ‘Chappie’ BY LISA JENSEN relations with others (aliens, robots) as allegory for our modern culture.

When I read the one-sentence description of Chappie—a droid in an indestructible robotic police force of the near future is reprogrammed to think and feel like a human—my expectations ran away with me. I thought it would be a commentary on out-of-control police violence and what might happen to an officer rewired to feel empathy. That’s an interesting idea for a movie, but it’s not the movie Blomkamp made.

Instead, Chappie is a sort of twisted caper comedy about an innocent inducted into a life of crime. There’s also a thriller plot that involves a lot of amped-up shootouts between criminals and robocops, criminals and each other, and robots and even bigger robots.

Blomkamp and co-scripter Terri Tatchell make a valiant attempt to attach these various random parts together into one big story, but a lot of it gets lost in all the mayhem.

Crime is so out of control in nearfuture JoBurg that a giant tech corporation, Tetra Vaal, designs and maintains a police force of robots called Scouts to keep the peace.

Bullets bounce off them, and any other damage can be repaired—up to a point. When Scout No. 22 is finally headed to the scrap heap, program designer Deon (Dev Patel), grabs what’s left of the ’bot and a few spare parts and takes them home for a clandestine experiment—to imbue the artificial creature with consciousness. He succeeds, just before he and No. 22 are abducted by lowlifes.

CHAPPIE **1/2 (out of four) With Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver. Written by Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell. Directed by Neill Blomkamp.

A Columbia release. (R) 124 minutes.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MARCH 11-17, 2015

ovies, like any other art form, are interactive in one crucial way. What a viewer gets out of them depends on what she brings to the experience. One hundred people in the same auditorium at the same time will see one hundred different movies; it’s all about perspective.

And part of what one brings to the movie house are expectations.

If those aren’t met, you’ll be disappointed by what’s onscreen.

I had certain expectations for Chappie, the new sci-fi action movie from South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp. Well beloved in cult circles for his scrappy, no-budget, came-out-of-nowhere futuristic thriller District 9, Blomkamp has a savvy sense of the genre, with a particular interest in human

Stalking Deon in search of a “remote” that will turn off the robots, petty criminals Ninja and Yolandi (real-life members of the punk band Die Antwoord) are thrilled to gain access to a Scout of their own. No. 22 has superhuman strength and an infinite capacity for learning, but he’s new to life and needs to be trained, like a child. Meanwhile, a rival Tetra Vaal engineer, Vincent (Hugh Jackman; you know he’s bad news by his horrible mullet), is out to sabotage the Scout line and replace it with his own gargantuan robotic enforcer, Moose.

The crooks nickname the childlike robot “Chappie,” and although Deon (as his “Creator”) forbids him to do crimes or use a gun, the others school him in other weapons, and the art of “looking cool.” These scenes are the least interesting part of the story, but they make up the bulk of the film. Blomkamp’s muse Sharlto Copley plays Chappie in motion-capture, and his sauntering, robotic-hipster moves are fun to watch, for awhile. But a sequence of supposedly comic carjackings quickly becomes tedious. And when Chappie is beaten up by thugs, or waylaid by Vincent’s nasty minions, it’s as grueling to watch as any other scene of child endangerment.

Other plot points don’t add up: not only do the crooks let Deon go free after they’ve stolen Chappie, and he’s seen their hideout, they let him keep coming back to visit. One night, all the Scouts go offline, and there’s rioting and looting throughout the city, but everything looks perfectly normal in the morning. And it never stops being weird that the “Mommy” and “Daddy” who steal Chappie become the protagonists. Their fate, along with Creator Deon, does perk up the very end of the movie, although by then it’s too late for us to really absorb it.

Sweet-natured Chappie could have been a compelling character in a much more complex movie, but, sadly, this isn’t it.

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 warporn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military ceremony.

Handmade snapper tacos at El Palomar, plus Route 1 Farms gears up for dinner series BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

he women of El Palomar’s bustling taco bar do it all. They work the grill, haul the dishes, shape the masa—and they kick it with precision and plenty of welldeserved attitude. Many regulars swear by the Happy Hour specials on tacos and drinks, 5-9 p.m. MondayThursday. But my favorite visits happen during late lunchtimes, where you place your order, pick up a drink and start working through the bowl of chips and salsa provided while you wait. I’m a huge fan of El

Palomar’s tortilla chips—warm and salty, and especially addictive along with something like an iced Coke or Corona with lime. The action is likewise energizing; you can watch the line cooks pack the dough into a tortilla press before plopping it onto the grill. They actually make the tortillas right on the spot. So bear in mind, while the tacos here arrived swiftly this is by no means “fast food.” So I hang out, read the paper, and try not to inhale all of the chips at once while my taco is being made. First, the layer of

Coming up fast—and sure to sell out quickly—are a trio of 2015 Farm Dinners in the various gorgeous fields of Route 1 Farms. Join field maestro Jeff Larkey and his team for meals featuring our finest chefs, winemakers, and panoramic vistas. On June 28, dine in the fields set between redwoods and ocean at Rancho del Oso with chef Damani Thomas of Oswald and a mystery winemaker (TBA). On Aug. 16, also at the Rancho del Oso acres on Waddell Creek, join Ristorante Avanti’s Adolfo Martinez and winemaker Denis Hoey of Odonata Wines. In the heart of harvest time, Sept. 27, come to Route 1’s Ocean Street Extension acres and enjoy a meal created

by Santos Majano of The Kitchen at Discretion Brewing paired with wines

by Richard Alfaro of Alfaro Family Vineyards. I remember with vivid fondness the terrific afternoon I spent last August at Rancho del Oso. It was arguably the finest of this sort of outdoor farm dinner I’ve ever experienced. The entire event—many courses, many wines, a delightful farm tour with Larkey—is a rare opportunity we can enjoy because we live in this extraordinary spot.

creamy refritos, then fat chunks of freshly grilled snapper. On top of that goes the strategic mix of crisp shredded cabbage, cilantro and finally a delicious green taco sauce. For $4 I’ve got a delicious, handmade, fresh lunch that makes my mouth happy all afternoon.

Cannot be beat! All El Palomar’s tacos are killer, but the snapper is my personal main squeeze. El Palomar taco bar is located in the middle of Pacific Avenue, in the arcade behind Santa Cruz Roasting Company.

WHO KNOWS ROSA? A reader wrote me: “My boyfriend is obsessed with the pork shoulder that was served at Rosa’s in the late 1990s, especially its crust. He’s been trying to find both of the chef/owners online without success. Do you have any info about them, their current whereabouts (did they open another restaurant somewhere), or about the recipes they used for this dish?

Personally, I still remember with great fondness their amazing burritos with fried onions and asparagus.” So, I’m hoping one of you reading out there will have a lead or two about the chef/owners of the former Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor dining landmark.

H

igh in the Los Gatos hills and along the winding Bear Creek Road is Byington Winery. It’s a beautiful place to visit as the estate boasts acres of stunning property and impressive vineyards. Weddings, corporate events and parties galore are held both outdoors and indoors.

There are picnic tables, umbrellas, gas and charcoal grills for your use (for a fee, and bring your own tools), and a bocce ball court, as well. Picnic tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but can be booked in advance for parties of 10 or more.

The tasting “fee” for a picnic table is the purchase of half a bottle of wine per person—to enjoy on the property or to take home.

I have been to Byington Winery many times, and the occasion this time was a picnic organized by a friend, which included wine tasting and a guided tour of the vineyards and the cave where events are held.

Tours are $15 per person, offered Saturdays and Sundays.

One of the wines I tried on the tour was a 2013 Saignée ($25)—a fresh and upbeat Rosé.

Byington allows only a brief contact between grape juice and grape skins, resulting in a bright pink wine—not red. With a unique strawberry nose accented by rose petals and watermelon, the Saignée (pronounced sen-YAY) is perfect for a warm-weather day.

One can easily spend a few hours at Byington tasting all their different wines and enjoying the beautiful patio. And when you visit, don’t miss their two late-harvest wines,

especially the sexy 2013 Amore with aromas of chocolate, raisins and dried cherries.

Byington will be participating in the wonderful Pinot Paradise event at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.

Byington Vineyard & Winery, 21850 Bear Creek Road, Los Gatos. 408-3541111. byington.com. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check the website for tasting fee.

PINOT PARADISE If you love Pinot, mark your calendars for the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association’s wonderful Pinot Paradise event, set for March 21 and 22 this year and culminating with a Grand Cruz Tasting at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, which includes an abundance of participating wineries and restaurants. You can buy separate tickets to the three main events, or $145 gets you into all of them.

Visit scmwa.com for information.

FRIDAY NIGHTS IN THE CELLARS There are three more nights left in the Friday night music series at Bargetto Winery, which run from 6-8 p.m. on March 13, March 20 and March 27. There is no cover charge and food and wine are available for purchase. Dress warmly as these events are held in Bargetto’s historic cellars.

RICH POUR Owner Adam Armstrong at the new Mutari Chocolate House and

Factory in downtown Santa Cruz. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Mutari Adam Armstrong on opening Santa Cruz’s first-ever chocolate house BY AARON CARNES

T

GT: Why open a chocolate house?

ADAM ARMSTRONG: They were popular in Europe before coffee shops.

I really wanted to do something where we brought it back to that because it’s an experience that’s completely different. I wanted to do drinking chocolates because that’s how, for 90 percent of its existence, chocolate has been consumed.

Are all cacao beans equal?

There are more varieties and different taste profiles in cacao beans than there are in wine. Every bean from the different regions, they all have their own flavor profiles, even from

year to year. We have different dark sipping chocolates. There are only two ingredients. It’s the cacao bean and a little bit of sugar. They’re all 70 percent dark. You can taste the difference in the chocolate. It’s kind of what we wanted to show people.

What’s the difference between hot chocolate and sipping chocolate?

A sipping chocolate is a more European way of serving it. It’s thicker and usually darker than hot chocolate.

We really want to focus on chocolates that you can drink. When I was in the Peace Corps, I worked with cacao farmers. They never eat chocolate.

They drink it every single day. I got really used to it. When I came back to the States I realized that it was kind of lost what real hot chocolate is. A lot of the hot chocolates you get are mostly just cocoa powder and sugar. I came back and went to a coffee shop and ordered a hot chocolate and I couldn’t even drink it. We have a Himalayan pink salt hot chocolate, and the pink salt really helps bring out the flavor of that particular bean from Guatemala.

That’s probably people’s favorite hot chocolate here.

here was once a time, hundreds of years ago, before coffee houses, when people went to chocolate houses and enjoyed a nice hot cup of chocolate. Local hot chocolate manufacturer Mutari has recently opened Santa Cruz’s first ever chocolate house, offering a variety of artisan chocolate drinks—and they’re not all sweet. Mutari started selling their hot chocolate products in local stores about a year ago, but only opened the chocolate house on March 4. We talked to owner Adam Armstrong about the new place and all things cacao-bean-related.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES INTENSITY, CHANGE, TRANSFORMATION — MARS, URANUS, PLUTO Mars/Uranus, Mars/Pluto, Mercury enters Pisces, Saturn retrograde, Uranus square Pluto, Venus enters Taurus—this is astrology language describing significant cosmic events occurring this week.

They signify intensity; portend inner and outer significant changes in our world, changes that bring about a new world order (esoteric words), a new culture and civilization. It is a long, drawn out process. Our senses will be affected. We will be tested. No one is unaffected. As Mars, Uranus and Pluto meet, fiery exchanges may occur interpersonally and globally. Saturn retrograde with Venus entering Taurus attempt to stabilize us. The planets circling the Sun stream energies into Earth that propel humanity forward. They are potent yet neutral. The character and consciousness of each of us depends on how we receive and are influenced (act out, react, respond, stay poised, etc.) by the energies. There may also be increases in

geological and political (both Ray 1) events.

Since June 24, 2012 until now, the major planets of change (Uranus) and transformation (Pluto) met four times in the sky.

They meet for the last (fifth) time on March 16—Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn (15 degrees). Squares intensify energies, calling for directional change that anchors new realities.

Responses to these planetary influences are dual—war (Middle East), ongoing protests, killing and violent conflicts along with examples of goodwill and demands for negotiation and peace.

Extremes are everywhere.

We must adapt, remaining poised at the apex of the triangle. Then we can be of service to those in need. We realize the needed world changes are occurring, a new cycle of life eventuating. We continually recollect the need for poise. (Read more at nightlightnews.org.)

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Most don’t recognize that there are traditional, stable, responsible and detailed aspects to Aries. These virtues help you become successful in all endeavors. You recognize these qualities when assessing your personal value and worth. You know it’s not how much money you have or make. It’s more about perseverance, reliability and being steadfast when encountering challenges and adversity. True self value is your new task.

The smile in your eyes invites others to share about themselves, their joys and sorrows, and to be friends with you. The soul of Libra offers fairness, justice, openness and kindness. If not yet within this expanded soul reality, visualize yourself stepping into it. The results will be happiness at first, then joy. Concerning money and resources, the boundaries you have created to protect yourself from loss become more loving.

Your work in the world must align with your values. Gemini is a complex, dual sign, with a fluid mind. All information is first filtered through your emotional (astral) body which must be clear, pure, with no judgments or opinions. This must be developed. You’re the sign of hidden treasures.

Security for you isn’t money or wealth. It’s emotional ethics and whatever you love.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You’re challenged to emerge from under your protective shell, have a sense of adventure, step beyond comfort and tend to things more on the edge. Connect more deeply with others, creating heart-to-heart contact.

This will further a sense of love, of self-expression and creativity, things you quietly seek. It’s also important for you to have some fun. What would that be for you?

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Most Scorpios are aware that whatever they do often challenges others. Are you aware also that this is your task. As you’re constantly challenged to transform and regenerate, you also ask (demand) this of others. A life of such intensity needs consistent times for rest and retreat— to gather strength, rediscover inner meaning and purpose.

Only a few know, through constant little deaths, like a phoenix flying out from fire, that you’re also a visionary.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Although you usually view life with broad hopeful optimism and because you’re an imaginative thinker who sees signs and reads oracles in every situation, you also have a sense of being duty-bound, responsible, traditional and conservative. These gifts hide behind Sag’s constant enthusiasm. Working under rules and regulations, you have a very serious side. This you must begin to value. It’s your discipline and your wisdom.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You exhibit great control, discipline, structure and reserve, often playing the role of the parent or wise one. Traditions are most important either following or creating them. But there are valuable parts to you – being progressive and inventive.

Here you enter the future, being different than most. Often people can’t understand your abilities to change quickly and to offer everyone freedom to be (you and me).

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Most Leos are charming. Some are hidden. But all Leos are magnetic—important to understand as magnetism attracts others to you. When aware of this you will either be kind and compassionate or you will create fear in others. Leo is also powerful. Power must include love, or it destroys. People encountering you seek light, intelligence, vitality, a certain discipline, direction and willingness to Love. Do you have (and understand) these qualities?

It’s important to acknowledge that you, like the planet Uranus, are different than most. Aquarius streams through Uranus and both influence you. Uranus is tipped on its side, its atmosphere is arranged in layers of clouds, its magnetic tail twisted into a long corkscrew, the source of its magnetic field is unknown, it’s blue/green, has a moon, many rings and satellites, seventh planet from the sun and third largest planet in the solar system. This unusual planet rules your life. Value and identify your differentness (as unique and beloved).

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Along with your excellent qualities of order, organization and disciplined list making (all things Pisces longs for), you seek peacekeeping skills. All Virgos learn refinement and how to act with goodwill, which creates right relations. It is good to know these are the vital life-giving seeds planted within all Virgos that lead later to the art of cooperation, conciliation and negotiation. Virgos are learning the gifts and skills of Libra.

The two signs most misunderstood are Scorpio and Pisces.

Often the fish is seen as wandering about, a bit too idealistic, too sensitive, confused. In the outer world you can seem lost and dreamy. But there’s much more to Pisces. You’re brave and courageous when someone’s in danger. You stand for the downtrodden and see everyone’s innate gifts (which others cannot). When saddened you fall into despair. When spontaneous, light fills the air.
