*Uitwaaien* is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it's exhilarating. I don't know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it, or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it's such nonsensical fun, or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension.

But in the coming weeks, you don't need to describe or explain experiences like this; you just need to do them.

Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play.

Rent, but don't buy yet. That's my $250-per-hour advice.

Keep rehearsing, but don't start performing the actual show. OK? Flirt, but don't fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control? Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don't try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don't insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Your nasty, nagging little demon isn't nasty or nagging anymore. It's not doing what demons are supposed to do. It's confused, haggard and ineffective. I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here's what I suggest: Now, when the demon's strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, non-reversible exorcism. Buy it a one-way bus ticket to the wasteland and say goodbye forever.

When he was in his fifties, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success. He used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history.

"I planted my water lilies for pleasure," he said. "I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond."

I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar, Gemini: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 "Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love," said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It's a fundamental human problem, so there's no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself. Having said that, I'm happy to report that you now have the necessary power to overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. It's time to disappear the fear.

Do you ever feel reverence and awe, Leo? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility, and gratitude? The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A lot has happened since you were . . . uh . . . indisposed.

You've missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again, and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting, and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action? Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don't try to return too early.

Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The Guerrilla Girls are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world. Every so often they take a "weenie count" at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that five percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that four percent of the artists were female, but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere, Scorpio.

Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities, and to initiate corrective action.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The English term "engine" refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power. But its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as "inborn talent." I'd like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your "engine" is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you'd love to wield.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 What I'm about to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don't need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you? Yes, but only if you meet two conditions. The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 If you were a four-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stir-fried organic vegetables and a plate full of chocolate coconut macaroons, you'd probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were four years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world's greatest astrologer, you'd also opt for the cookies. But since you're a grownup, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and long-lasting pleasure. Right?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected! Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore's performance in your own sphere. Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original.

SEEKING SHELTER New plans to end chronic homelessness would need 1,000 new units of housing. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Closer to Home?

A look at the ambitious new plans to end chronic homelessness in Santa Cruz County BY PATRICK DWIRE [Editor’s Note: This is part one of a twopart story about homelessness in Santa Cruz County. Part two runs next week.]

B

oth the Santa Cruz City Council and the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors have approved a visionary plan to end chronic homelessness by 2020, but it’s unclear just how the plan’s goals will be accomplished.

The plan aims to get chronically homeless people into permanent housing first, then address the causes of their homelessness through services once they are housed, as Mayor Don Lane outlined at a speech to the Democratic Women’s Committee (DWC) last month.

The “All In Toward a Home for Every County Resident” plan documents a policy shift that aims to reduce and eventually end homelessness by moving from simply “managing” the problem with emergency and temporary shelters and services to “Housing First” policies that provide permanent, supportive housing, Lane says.

Lane is a key supporter of the plan, but admits it will not be easy to get roughly 1,000 people into permanent housing in the next five years. “The plan is a policy document that shows us what we need to do. It gives us all a roadmap of where we need to go,” Lane says.

As far as roadmaps go, the plan is long on vision and short on specifics.

At this point, no one is quite sure how

the community will develop enough new housing units to meet the goal, or secure enough subsidies to cover the rent.

But the move toward “housing first” policies is one that stretches well beyond Santa Cruz, having gained traction nationwide as the most viable, cost-effective solution to homelessness.

Embracing that same approach, Santa Cruz County’s “All In” strategic plan is 15 months in the making, thanks to a community outreach effort led by United Way government officials, homeless services agencies, and other stakeholders.

Cost-benefit studies show that a subsidized unit of housing is far less expensive in the long run than the alternative method of >12

A rally outside Santa Cruz City Hall last week featured City Councilmember Micah Posner, the Raging Grannies, who brought their singing satire, and comedian Richard Stockton. They gathered shortly before the March 24 City Council meeting to ask councilmembers to give back the controversial BearCat armored vehicle purchased in January for the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD). “We are Santa Cruzans.

We work for peace and partner with our police!”

Stockton said.

Or as, the Raging Grannies put it: “We don’t give a duck for a ballistic, engineered truck.”

Later that night, a crowd of over 100 jostled for limited seating in the City Council chambers. On the agenda was a discussion of the controversial BearCat, in light of community concerns and demands from activists that the council return the truck. The truck, whose name stands for Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck, is not a “military-surplus vehicle” leftover from the Iraq war, but was instead built for domestic use.

The council ultimately voted 6-1 to support a use policy for the truck, which emphasizes that the BearCat will not be used for routine patrols, parades, first-amendment-protected demonstrations, or public displays other than structured educational programs.

Wives of local police officers stood in line, alongside activists, to grab seats in the council chambers, carrying signs of opposition, like “Give Back the BearCat.” An overflow crowd of about 200 watched from the patio outside, where audio was not available until 9 p.m., and from the Civic Center across the street, where a video feed projected the proceedings, which ran from 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Almost 70 citizens made comments following presentations from the SCPD, the city manager’s office, firefighters, the Watsonville police chief and organizations including the Police Officers Association, SCRAM!, Take Back Santa Cruz, Food Not Bombs, and a group representing family members of SCPD officers.

The emotional evening highlighted co-existing needs for safety, freedom and transparency. Wives of SCPD officers and others spoke passionately about protecting loved ones.

“I don’t understand their point of view. It’s not a military vehicle,” Johanna Schonfield tells GT of activists’ concerns. Schonfield’s older sister, Laurel, is an SCPD detective. “This is >16

COORDINATED ENTRY

“managing” the homeless, which relies on costly emergency medical services, long-term medical care, police time, jail, and the revolving doors of emergency shelters.

So far, the housing-first model is working in Santa Cruz County, according to data from the multiagency initiative formerly known as 180/180, which set a goal in 2012 to house 180 homeless people by July of 2014. The program, which is part of the national 100,000 Homes Campaign, has provided Section 8 housing subsidy vouchers from the Housing Authority to the most medically vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals. It provides them regular rental units after landlords agree to accept the vouchers. After reaching its goal of housing 180 individuals in May of 2014, leaders re-branded the program 180/2020, and continued doing what they were doing—this time with the goal of ending homelessness entirely by the year 2020. To date, 180/2020 has housed 268 disabled individuals—25 percent of whom are veterans—in permanent rental units.

The county Board of Supervisors embraced the “All In” plan, especially its top priority—a “Coordinated Entry” system, which streamlines what was once a fragmented array of agencies and programs serving the homeless.

The plan focuses on increased efficiency and better targeting of services to address specific needs of various “subpopulations,” including homeless prevention assistance for families on the brink of losing their housing.

The issue of where the actual housing units will come from is not addressed in the document, and was only briefly discussed by the County Supervisors and City Councilmembers. When 5th District Supervisor Bruce McPherson asked for an estimate of how many additional units would be needed to realize the goals, Julie Conway of the planning department responded that roughly 1,000 new units will be necessary.

Conway, housing manager for the county, is optimistic that new policies like the county’s recent Economic Vitality Strategy will provide for this

increase in housing. Over the last seven years, she adds, funding sources have more than doubled the number of “year-round” supportive housing beds for homeless people. She expects this trend to continue.

“The biggest obstacle, of course, is the tight housing market,” she says.

Then there’s the issue of how the county will be able to secure enough rent subsidies.

Ken Cole, executive director the county’s Housing Authority, has been divvying up Section 8 rent subsidy vouchers funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) between lowincome families on a waiting list and at-risk homeless people. Of the currently funded Section 8 vouchers that become available each month through regular turnover, there is a HUD-imposed cap on the number that can be assigned to homeless people.

“Striking this balance is never easy,” Cole says. “While the V.A. is making more vouchers available for homeless vets, HUD has been less responsive making more vouchers available for chronically homeless.”

Some of Santa Cruz’s bicycle advocates are refining their missions and goals—or at least clarifying them. The group known as People Power is changing its name to Bike Santa Cruz County and celebrating with a press event and fundraiser Tuesday, April 7.

“We’re focusing on what we do best, which is bicycle advocacy,” executive director Amelia Conlen says. “The name change is the culmination of that.”

The new name sure gets rid of any confusion or explaining about what the group’s basic mission is: encourage people to bike more and drive less.

City Councilmember Micah Posner, who served as People Power director for eight years,

concedes that the new name sounds less political, but adds that that makes sense nowadays.

Cyclists have gained major support, after all, and also counted a few victories in recent years—including the opening of the Arana Gulch multiuse trail, as well as progress on the Rail Trail plan. Posner serves on the organization’s 10-person steering committee, which operates by consensus and approved the name change. Sometimes, he says, the organization connoted other political meanings for community members that were totally unintentional. One person, for example, wanted to join People Power for years, but couldn’t bring himself to sign

up because the name sounded “too communist” to him. The man wrote a check to Bike Santa Cruz County as soon as he heard about about the change.

People Power’s old moniker sounded tame, though, compared to the “Militant Bike League.” That’s the “spoof name” that People Power founder Jim Denevan sometimes jokingly called the group, and he would kid about drafting a manifesto to go along with it.

Denevan started the group about 25 years ago, when he was going to farmers markets with a table and handing out fliers.

The thing he liked about the old name was that it was poetic.

These days, Denevan is an artist famous for his farm-to-table culinary tour “Outstanding

in the Field” and his massive pieces of work drawn in sand.

Getting ready to board a flight to Las Vegas for a project, he tells GT that the name People Power allowed people to ask what the name meant. That, in turn, started a conversation.

“When you don’t name it directly, it leaves a little room for more discussion,” he says. “But maybe that’s not what people want nowadays. This gets the point across.”

There will be a press event for Bike Santa Cruz County at 4 p.m. on April 7 in the nonprofit’s office at 703 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz followed by a fundraiser and party at Lúpulo Craft Beer House, located at 233 Cathcart St., Santa Cruz from 5-9 p.m.

Members of SCRAM!, Santa Cruz Resistance Against Militarization, played a promotional video for the Lenco BearCat. Set to the AC/DC song “Thunderstruck,” the video opens with the caption, “The Way SWAT Does Business” and shows police shooting semi-automatic rifles from the BearCat and crashing a battering ram through a door to inject tear gas into the building. Mayor Don Lane commented that the video appeared “very aggressive.”

“I know a military vehicle when I see one,” said Santa Cruz resident Aryeh Barson during public comment. Barson moved to Santa Cruz in 2000 after living in Israel for 14 years, and serving three years in the Israel Defense Forces.

He asked the Council to give back the vehicle, saying it would undoubtedly raise tensions locally, as he’d seen in the Middle East.

One feature on the BearCat that has raised concerns is what is commonly referred to as a “battering ram.” The hydraulic ram attaches to the front of the BearCat and has been described by SCPD Lt. Bernie Escalante as a “defensive” tool that “can be used for reasons besides breaching entry, like delivering a phone or food in a hostage situation.” Escalante also said the 11 gun ports could be used for shooting “non-lethal” weapons like tasers.

During his presentation, Escalante said that SCPD’s BearCat won’t have a grenade launcher. But GT recently discovered that the SCPD has purchased a variety of grenades— including distraction device, rubber pellet and “military type” grenades—according to documents received through a public records request. Escalante did not comment on the grenades, citing protection of police tactics.

The ACLU explored police technology like armored personnel carriers (APCs) in a 2014 report called “War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing.” It argued, “The use of violent tactics and equipment (like APCs) was shown to increase the risk of bodily harm and property damage.”

President of the Police Officers Association Joe Hernandez told the council that, in a way,

it may be too late to slow militarization. “When I get dressed in the morning, I put on boots that are considered combat boots. I wear a bulletproof vest,” he says. “I carry a sidearm when I go work the streets. My uniform has military creases. When we talk about militarization of the police, to some degree we’re there.”

The spirited Tuesday night meeting intensified when it was announced that a San Jose police officer had just been killed and that police were mobilizing a BearCat to apprehend the shooter.

One speaker ventured, “a BearCat could’ve saved the life of the officer in San Jose.” Another countered that armored vehicles usually arrive after such shootings have already occurred.

FAIR USE? Around midnight, Councilmember Posner made a motion to suspend the purchase of the BearCat. Posner stood alone as his motion failed in a 6-1 vote.

The Council then voted 6-1 to support the proposed use policy for the armored truck detailing that the truck not be used in certain situations, like nonviolent protests.

The lone vote of dissent against the vehicle’s

use policy came from BearCat supporter Councilmember Pamela Comstock, who said the City Council was “second-guessing the police department” and “setting precedent by weighing in on strategy and tactics for the police.” Chief Kevin Vogel agreed that he’d never seen City Council help create operational policies for the police in his four years as department head.

Comstock is the only councilmember who has confirmed knowledge of the BearCat grant before December of 2014. “I was told about the BearCat and had an opportunity to ask questions,” she tells GT. “It is a standard practice for city staff to seek Council input prior to bringing an agenda item forward.”

But Councilmember Posner affirmed the need for police oversight. “Now that we’ve decided to acquire a BearCat, I think it is responsible for the Council to establish use over it,” he said. “We’re committed to having leadership over the scope of operations of the police. For me, that’s critical for a functional democracy.”

Discussion of a new procedure for city grants was tabled, as recommended by Assistant City Manager Tina Shull.

“It still needs some work,” Shull said.

homeless in Santa Cruz qualify as chronically homeless—that is, homeless for more than a year or homeless four times within the past three years. The total number of homeless individuals counted in the “Point-in-Time” (PIT) Homeless Census and Survey grew from 2,771 in 2011 to 3,536 in 2013—an increase of 27 percent.

Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz– Watsonville area was rated the sixth least affordable rental market in the nation by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, requiring a full time hourly wage of $30.71 necessary for one wage-earner to afford average market rent for a two-bedroom apartment. Some are worried about what all this means for families.

“It’s not that I don’t care about the homeless,” says Wendy Macias, a renter in Santa Cruz County involved with the Coalition for Affordable Housing who attended Lane’s speech at the DWC. “But I’m worried about the coming gentrification from the tech industry on regular working families. We’ve got an overall need for affordable housing, not just for the homeless.”

The 2013 homeless census found that 72 percent of homeless individuals surveyed were residents of Santa Cruz when they became homeless, and the rate of migration to Santa Cruz of those already homeless is no higher than Monterey County, San Mateo County or San Francisco. Although she voted to adopt the “All In” plan, Santa Cruz City Councilmember Richelle Noroyan scrutinized the data behind the homeless count. “This data is not consistent from what I’ve heard from many first responders who deal with homeless problems,” Noroyan said at the March 24 meeting.

The 2013 census also found that only about 18 percent of the homeless in Santa Cruz—or 1.8 people out of 10—got a safe place to sleep in one of the roughly 600 shelter beds available in emergency shelters or other transitional housing programs.

The 2013 PIT census report included a graphic indicating that if the remaining 2,985 unsheltered homeless were to line up for an available shelter bed, the line would extend for more than one mile.

comics maintain an uproar against the cheesecaking of the classics, as per DC Comics’ tits-and-assladen New 52 series, which in 2011 relaunched the company’s entire line of titles. As payback, they get a good deal of squalid, sexually threatening outrage.

Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis created a kind of meme—WWCAD?—when in an interview with entertainment news site Vulture.com he said, “You love Captain America? You know what Captain America would never do? Go online anonymously and shit on a girl for having an opinion.”

The comic superstars of today are overshadowed by two writers.

Few if any comics have gotten deeper into the psychology of the masked vigilantes, even 30 years after the groundbreaking Watchmen graphic novel came out. Watchmen’s prescient creator, Alan Moore, wrote a comic in 1986 called In Pictopia about a city of cartoon characters experiencing gentrification.

Playful funny animals and debonair crime fighters were pushed out of their already crowded tenements by masked bruisers, scarcely recognizable in their stubble and Goliath-sized muscles as the kid-

friendly swashbucklers of yesterday.

Frank Miller, today a crank responsible for the indescribably low Holy Terror, helped carry out the process Moore was parodying when he revived a dangerous Batman in the mid-1980s.

The Dark Knight Returns kept Batman alive, just as the phantasmagorical but occasionally seriousas-cancer 1966 TV show did—now available on Blu-Ray or on delightful MeTV reruns. The show was an urbane joke, but it tended to go into nightmareland and take its audience with it. Frank Gorshin’s flawless imitation of noir idol Richard Widmark wasn't compromised by a green leotard.

Miller had arresting visual skills, taking the lessons of graphic artist Jim Steranko and Japanese manga in his use of negative space. It’s Miller who may be longer remembered.

He not only created and directed the movie Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, but also inadvertently brought us the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, created long ago by a pair of fanboys pastiching Miller’s run of Marvel’s Daredevil. (Miller’s ninja “The Hand” becomes “The Foot,” the blind martial arts teacher “Stick” becomes “Splinter”—hey, this stuff writes itself!) Moore, sadly, is secluded from the comics world, coming forth infrequently to castigate a lousy prequelization of his work.

Three guesses as to how I know this. I used to make a stench out of myself, hanging around the comicbook shop near my college campus waiting for the newest X-Men, Daredevil, Peter Bagge’s Neat Stuff and Daniel Clowes’ Eightball. In writing about the various lives and deaths of DC and Marvel’s caped assets, I can never be against the idea of the format, never be blind to its beauty or potential.

CRITICAL MASK

It’s said that only computer games are interactive enough to survive deep into the next century. Such games give the brain a challenge that it’s allegedly not receiving while passively sitting and taking in images. But the reader of comics has work to do—to imagine the leap between panels (as Scott McCloud’s ‘Understanding Comics’ points out). <22 “I think it’s subjective whether or not certain genres should be popular,” says Kris Bartolome. “I’ve read a lot of bad superhero comics, but some of the best comics I’ve read were about superheroes. I do wish people were more adventurous with comics, instead of sticking to what they already are familiar with. And I do think what gets an undeserved amount of attention are the marketing gimmicks commonly associated with making comics collectible. I think the focus of comics should always be good storytelling.”

My complaint is this: I want cartoonist Chris Ware’s Building Stories to get the attention Archie’s cadaver got. I want to see urban renewal for Pictopia, a place for autobiographical work, for comedy and the kind of wistfulness that curls up and wilts in any other medium except for words and pictures. I prefer Batman as detective to soldier. I prefer Superman wise and patient instead of angry and emo. I think the purpose of Wonder Woman is to put a brake on human folly— and the folly is rich in so many shoddy cross-media adaptations.

It’s said that only computer games are interactive enough to survive deep into the next century. Such games give the brain a challenge that it’s allegedly not receiving while passively sitting and taking in images. But the reader of comics has work to do—to imagine the leap between panels (as Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics points out). There is room for the unseen and indescribable in that invisible land. Dumb as the coverage was in this last year, the comic book is an old medium that never gets old.

Panel Discussion After 39 years in business, the owner of Santa Cruz’s Atlantis Fantasyworld looks back at how comics have evolved BY AARON CARNES

F

implication was that it was for kids. If you held up a blank CD, you would have no idea what kind of music is on it.

Is it classical? Is it rock? Is it punk? If you held up a comic, how could you possibly know without looking at the cover what’s inside that thing? It’s an open book now.”

The whole idea of comics being for kids has shifted completely. Now, Ferrara says, a vast majority of comic books are created for the 18to 35-year-old market. Only recently in the past three years, he says, has there been a slight uptick in the family-friendly, kid-oriented comics with the Smurfs, Disney, and others, but it’s still a small part of the market.

Just as in the old days, DC and Marvel still rule. But several smaller companies exist and continue to broaden the content and style of comics.

The big graphic novel now, Ferrara says, is Saga, which he describes as a cross between Star Wars and Shakespeare.

“When I started this business, I would have characterized myself as a purveyor of collectibles. Most people coming in were buying back issues. I was primarily selling vintage.

And the paradigm has shifted,” he says. “Now I consider myself a purveyor of entertainment, and the collectible aspect of this business is only about seven percent of my income. That’s how things have changed in 39 years.”

ew know better than Joe Ferrara, owner and operator of Atlantis Fantasyworld, how much comic books have changed over the years. He opened his shop 39 years ago, ages before every blockbuster film in the theater was based on a comic book “franchise.”

“Comics are now a legitimate piece of the entertainment pie,” Ferrera says. “When I started the business they were a very, very small piece of the entertainment industry. Now it’s just as viable [a way] to pass the time as it is to go to the movies, play a video game or watch television.”

Things are better than ever, and one need only look at TV and film for proof. But this, according to Ferrara, is only the most recent movement in a series of steps that have legitimized comic books. The first, he says, was Star Wars, which demonstrated that science fiction content had viable mainstream appeal.

After that, it was the introduction of the graphic novel which emerged in the ’80s and became popular by the mid ’90s, and is generally a reprint of several serial comic books telling a single story. With the graphic novel, comics could be sold at actual bookstores, and they gained more artistic merit than before, widening the kinds of stories that were told.

“Comics in the old days weren’t used to tell sophisticated narratives like, say, Persepolis,” Ferrara says. “It used to be that if you held up a comic, the

‘FRANK’ DISCUSSION Barney Frank brings his memoir ‘Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same Sex Marriage’ to Santa Cruz April 20.

e may have misplaced the hallowed path of give-and-take that once made the U.S. Congress one of the most dynamic political bodies on earth, but if we’re interested in retracing our steps, we need only look to one of its most fascinating members: Barney Frank.

HOT TICKET

He'll be appearing in Santa Cruz on Monday, April 20, for his new autobiography, Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same Sex Marriage, and though the title reflects the kind of double-entendre he loves, I can think of no better way to describe his feisty, funny, suffer-nofools approach to politics and life.

Throughout the course of his 40-year career, Barney Frank has shown Americans what a politician should be made of: an open mind, a solid work ethic, an aversion to hypocrisy, a passion for civil rights, and a healthy mistrust of big money. He’s also shown us, with signature wit and rumpled

LITERATURE

Even during his years of secrecy, Frank never waivered in his support of the LGBT community or civil rights across the board. He was the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out in 1987, and the first to legally marry his partner, a result of legislation he helped champion. <28 someone wrote he was wearing an ill-fitting suit, he shot back that it was actually a well-fitting suit, he just wasn’t the person it fit—was tempered by tactical restraint, both personally and politically.

That nuanced strategy reflected not only his professional fears, but also his conviction that lasting change comes through the messy, incremental process of democracy.

“Incrementalism is not the enemy of militancy,” he writes, “it is often the only effective means of expressing it.” Needless to say, he’d probably have a few barbed words for the UCSC students who blocked Highway 17 in their protest against tuition hikes, regardless of sympathy to their cause.

Frank realized his passions early on. He writes of himself at 14, “I realized that there were two ways in which I was different from the other guys: I was attracted to the idea of serving in government and I was attracted to the other guys.” He kept his sexual orientation a painful secret for decades, but he threw himself into politics right away, volunteering for Adlai Stevenson’s 1956 presidential campaign, registering voters in Mississippi during the 1964 Freedom Summer, serving as Boston Mayor Kevin White's chief assistant in 1968, and graduating from Harvard Law school while he served as a Massachusetts state representative.

But it was his tenure as chairman of the House Financial Services Committee from 2007 to 2011, and his co-sponsorship of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Act—a sweeping reform of the U.S. financial industry—that solidified him as one of the most powerful members

of Congress at the time. He retired in 2013, but his voice remains an important one, reminding us how fragile reform can be, and how effective political activism is less grounded in feel-good moments than it is in the dogged process of exposing hypocrisy and brokering deals with those in power.

Even during his years of secrecy, Frank never waivered in his support of the LGBT community or civil rights across the board. He was the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out in 1987, and the first to legally marry his partner, a result of legislation he helped champion. When accused by the far right of having a “radical homosexual agenda,” he said, “I do not think that any self-respecting radical in history would have considered advocating people’s rights to get married, join the army, and earn a living as a terribly inspiring revolutionary platform."

Now 74 years old and married to a surfer, Barney Frank is still doing what he does best: speaking truth to power. Despite his somewhat cantankerous nature, he remains a true believer that government can help people make their lives better.

Perhaps his greatest proof lies in his marriage and the respect of his colleagues. “I should’ve known you were here,” said one leading House Republican after bumping into Frank’s husband in a hallway.

“Barney was nice to me today.”

Now that’s change we can believe in.

Barney Frank will speak at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 20, at Peace United Church, 900 High Street, Santa Cruz.

Ticket packages are $30.45 and include two tickets and a copy of ‘Frank.’ Go to bookshopsantacruz.com for tickets.

BIFF! BAM! POW! Chicano Batman performs Saturday, April 4, at Moe’s Alley.

Cape Ear

Chicano Batman collects their favorite sounds—including some eclectic retro movements—into soulful stew BY ANDREW GILBERT first started coming together when singer/songwriter Bardo Martínez, a Colombian/Mexican multi-instrumentalist, bonded with Mexican-American bassist Eduardo Arenas at a party over their mutual regard for Brazilian superstar Caetano Veloso, one of the founders of the radical cultural movement of the mid1960s known as Tropicalia.

Initially a trio, the band coalesced when Martínez met Colombianborn percussionist Gabriel Villa at a performance by Very Be Careful, the great L.A. band dedicated to accordion-driven vallenato, a rootsy precursor to Colombian cumbia. With the addition of Salvadoran/MexicanAmerican guitarist Carlos Arévalo in 2011, Chicano Batman added a

lean but laid-back rock ‘n’ roll edge to the mix and became a force to be reckoned with.

“We’re big fans of music, with big ears,” says Arévalo, who grew up on the exurban Southern California fringe of the Inland Empire.

“Tropicalia is definitely a reference.

We’re big fans of Os Mutantes, Gal Costa, and Tom Ze. But we’re also into soul music from the 1960s and ’70s. If you grow up in L.A., on Sundays they play oldies all day on the radio.”

Throw in some vintage Latin American soul music via Chile’s Los Ángeles Negros, volatile blues and jazz fusion from Frank Zappa, electric Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix, and Chicano Batman’s sound starts to make sense. “We don’t really pay

t first glance, Chicano Batman seems like the latest in a long line of inventive MexicanAmerican bands from East Los Angeles, with one foot boogying in the mythic past while the other strides into the polyglot future.

But a closer look reveals a far more complicated reality. With its oozing keyboard lines, cumbia grooves, and affection for 1970s soul, Chicano Batman embraces a pan-American aesthetic that bursts out of the confines of the barrio. The band returns to Moe’s Alley on April 4 on a double bill with opening act Salt Pedal, a rising L.A. band with a big, horn-powered sound.

Founded in 2010, Chicano Batman

attention to what genre we’re dabbling in,” Arévalo says. “There are no rules.”

What’s impressive is the way all the disparate elements cohere when Chicano Batman takes the stage. The sensibility isn’t eclectic as much as cosmopolitan, a stance informed by wry amusement that never curdles into cynicism. In much the same way, Chicano Batman’s songs switch between Spanish and English according to the emotional needs of the songwriter.

“It’s subconscious,” Arévalo says.

“Bardo will write a song, and it might be in English or Spanish. For one of the songs I brought in, ‘Para Agradecer,’ I had an idea and wanted it to be in the vein of a Spanish pop rock tune from the 1970s. It turned into the last track of the new record. Villa only writes in Spanish. He feels he can express himself best that way, and doesn’t feel comfortable writing in English.”

While the band doesn’t fetishize vintage gear a la the Dapp Kings, they do gravitate to instruments and sound systems that were designed before they were born.

“The sounds you get with those amps is so striking and rich,” Arévalo says. “I can’t afford a vintage Fender, but I’ve got the next best thing, an American reissue. Our amps are oldschool Fenders, and the organ is a 1970 Yamaha YC-30, the same kind that Sun Ra played.”

The band’s latest album, 2014’s Cycles of Existential Rhyme, has cemented their avid following. They were getting set to record a new EP last October when the engineer, Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, died in Mexico while touring with Jack White. The project was up in the air until they recently decided to incorporate the four songs intended for the EP on the next album.

Meanwhile, Chicano Batman spent January opening for Jack White on his “Lazaretto” tour, and recently announced that they’ve been booked for both weekends at Coachella.

“Things are moving slowly but surely,” Arévalo says. “We’ve been working hard for four or five years, and the tour with Jack White was great, to get that vote from the last real rock star. We believe in what we’ve been doing. Maybe now the world is ready for it.”

PALEO DESSERTS The Paleo way of eating has become increasingly popular within the past few years because feasting like our Paleolithic ancestors—without preservatives and focusing on nutrients available to humans—doesn’t cut out too many things and can still satiate dessert cravings.

SUNDAY 4/5 AYURVEDA WORKSHOPS As the oldest medical system in the world and a sister science to yoga, Ayurveda has a lot to offer modern illnesses and obstacles—which is why Manish Chandra of Santa Cruz Ayurveda will host a free two-hour talk the first Sunday of April, May and June. Ayurveda (ah-yer-veh-duh) is a holistic approach to prolonging life, from self-care routines to dietary changes that follow the seasons as well one’s own specific dosha makeup. In a recent talk with GT, Chandra said “Our main digestive fire is in our gut. So that’s why in Ayurveda we focus squarely on food as medicine. If your gut is clean, you will not get sick.”

Info: 6:30-8:30 p.m., Pacific Cultural Center/Ashtangà Yoga Institute, 1307 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz. 426-8893. Free.

Funny how once a musical style is released into the world, the geographic boundaries that once confined it start to fall away. Case in point: My Darling Clementine, a classic American country duo in the spirit of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. So what’s the catch? The duo, comprised of Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish, is from Hebden Bridge, England. Is your curiosity piqued? It should be. These two have the tradition dialed in and are gathering fans by the boatload, on both sides of the pond. CAT JOHNSON

with bands like Slightly Stoopid and the Expendables. However, rather than getting too rootsy, or punk rock, there’s a surreal prog-rock edge to Passafire.

Their melodies and guitar chords are a little out there, with 311 being a primary influence. They still nail that laid-back reggae vibe, and have an easy no-frills groove, but they aren’t shy about their classic rock influences, either. AC

There's a video of the mid-'90s-era Rolling Stones performing "Gimme Shelter" in Amsterdam. Jagger and company are doing their thing, but toward the middle of the song, vocalist Lisa Fischer takes center stage and proceeds to kill it with her incredible voice, commanding stage presence, and out-of-thisworld range. The video, now with over one million views, is just a peek at Fischer's talent—and the Stones, just a few of her admirers. Fischer has also worked with Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed and many more, and was featured in the 2013 documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

BEHIND THE SCENES Vintage footage abounds in new pop doc ‘The Wrecking Crew.’ Here, members of the Wrecking Crew sit in a recording session with producer Phil Spector.

Let’s Get Wrecked APRIL 1-7, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Unsung ’60s musicians score in pop documentary ‘The Wrecking Crew’ BY LISA JENSEN

56

‘T

hey were the ones with all the spirit, all the know-how.” So says Brian Wilson at the beginning of Denny Tedesco’s entertaining music documentary The Wrecking Crew, and he’s not talking about his fellow Beach Boys. Wilson’s praise is directed toward a loose aggregate of LA-based recording studio session musicians collectively known to insiders as “The Wrecking Crew.” In the burgeoning West Coast pop music scene of the early 1960s, these were the players that smart producers called in to lay down the basic groove under some of the best-known hit songs of the era.

Hot on the heels of recent behindthe-scenes showbiz docs like 20 Feet From Stardom and Muscle Shoals, Tedesco’s film continues the tradition

of honoring these unsung heroes with the recognition they deserve.

What Tedesco brings to the mix is his particular insider’s perspective. His father, guitarist Tommy Tedesco, was one of the key players—an imprecise number guesstimated as anywhere from 12 to 20 folks—on the producers’ A-list.

In the film, jovial, puckish Tommy Tedesco mentions the plight of the Wreckers as, “Guitar licks everybody recognizes, but nobody knows your name.” But Denny Tedesco knows, and his mission is to rescue them all from obscurity. He was smart enough to organize a round-table discussion with his dad and some of his cohorts sharing their memories, an informative anchor at the heart of the film that plays in counterpoint

to plenty of tasty vintage footage of the Wreckers in the studio, laying down tracks for the stars their music supported—Sonny and Cher, The Mamas and the Papas, The Association, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, The Byrds, and The Righteous Brothers, for producers like Lou Adler, Phil Spector, and Snuff Garrett.

And their forte wasn’t only pop songs. Prized for their versatility within the genre (“The same guys were doing Nat ‘King’ Cole as did The Beach Boys,” says one observer), these studio musicians were also involved in some of the most popular and recognizable TV show themes of the day, from Bonanza (that’s Tommy Tedesco’s guitar) to Mission Impossible.

Session men like Glen Campbell, Leon Russell and Herb Alpert (all

providing commentary here) went on to find their own fame. But filmmaker Tedesco also celebrates lesser-known groove-masters like his dad, as well as the legendary Hal Blaine (who evidently played drums on every single song produced in the ’60s), uber pianist Don Randi, and Plas Johnson (who played sax on “The Pink Panther Theme” and flute on “Rockin’ Robin”), among many others.

But the most intriguing Wrecker, and the movie’s unofficial heroine, is bass guitar player Carol Kaye. As a woman in what was perceived as a male medium (although, she notes, a lot of women were playing jazz a decade earlier), herself the daughter of musicians, she got a gig playing backup for Sam Cooke in 1957 and never looked back.

A merry woman with an infectious laugh (and a great look in the old footage, with her blonde hair and trademark big glasses), Kaye also had the chops for the work. It’s mentioned in passing that in her heyday she was supporting two kids and her mother.

“Without a good bass line, the tune doesn’t pop,” says Plas Johnson. Like the downbeat to “The Beat Goes On,” which Kaye improvised on the spot, and which became the backbone of the song. “We learned how to play rock ’n’ roll right on the job,” she says.

It was demanding work. The movie is rife with anecdotes in which the Wreckers rise to the challenge of turning out four songs in three hours, or completing an album in a day. With the Wreckers, notes Roger McGuinn, The Byrds could cut a No. 1 record in three hours; when the group played by themselves, they might need “77 takes.”

The Monkees, famously prepackaged for TV (a gig, says Micky Dolenz, that he always approached as an actor, not as a musician), were so lambasted for not playing their own instruments that the studio musician era declined as more new groups started to play their own music. Some of the Wreckers eventually made it into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

For the rest, they have Tedesco’s affectionate film.

Thompson, Julie Walters, Tom Sturridge, and Derek Jacobi co-star for director Richard Laxton. (PG-13) 108 minutes. Starts Friday.

FURIOUS 7 The untimely death of co-star Paul Walker midway through filming this installment was a blow to the series, but the action franchise roars on with this tale of a vendetta sworn against team leader Vin Diesel and his crew. Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and Walker are featured. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell also join the cast. (PG-13) 137 minutes.

NOW PLAYING CINDERELLA Disney’s live-action reboot isn’t quite as fresh as last year’s Maleficent. The production values are luscious, and director Kenneth Branagh imbues the story with humor, tension, and emotional complexity. But Linda Woolverton, who wrote Maleficent, comes from a generation of women who grew up chafing against the passivity of Disney cartoon heroines.

Chris Weitz, the scriptwriter here, provides personalities for both his heroine, and her Prince, but he doesn’t have the same feminist fire; he’s content to tell the same old story in much the same old way. Still, what it lacks in innovation, the film makes up for in sheer loveliness, performed by an engaging cast. (PG) 112 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Shailene Woodley and Theo James return as Tris and Four in this second installment of the dystopian future trilogy based on the popular book series

by Veronica Roth. Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their fiercely classbased society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes.

(Saved FGB)

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.

GET HARD Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart star in this comedy as a millionaire about to go to prison for fraud and the streetwise guy he hires to teach him how to be tough on the inside. Alison Brie co-stars for director Ethan Cohen.

(R) 100 minutes.

THE GUNMAN Sean Penn goes the Liam Neeson/action route in this thriller he also co-wrote and co-produced, directed by Pierre Morel (Taken). Javier Bardem, Idris Elba, Ray Winstone and Mark Rylance co-star. 115 minutes.

HOME A lovable purple alien from another world and a hip earth girl with a souped-up car become friends and allies in this family adventure comedy from DreamWorks Animation. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez provide voices.

Tim Johnson (Antz; Over the Hedge) directs. (PG) 94 minutes.

IT FOLLOWS It’s back to ’50sera morality in this indie horror thriller, in which a 19-year-old girl dares to have sex, which unleashes something nasty into her life. Maika Monroe stars for director David Robert Mitchell. (R) 100 minutes.

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.

MCFARLAND, USA In this factbased story set in the farm belt of California’s Kern County, Kevin Costner stars as a newly arrived 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.

MERCHANTS OF DOUBT The so-called “experts” paraded into the public arena to denounce everything from climate change to the dangers of toxic chemicals and tobacco are the subject of this documentary. It’s a small group of nonprofessional, lobby-funded opinionators-for-hire, exposed by filmmaker Robert Kenner (based on the nonfiction book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway).

(PG-13) 96 minutes.

RUN ALL NIGHT Liam Neeson decides to get mad, and even (as usual), as a retired hit-man who goes after his crime lord ex-boss (Ed Harris) to protect his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman).

Common co-stars for director Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-Stop; Unknown). (R) 114 minutes.

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.

SERENA Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper team up again for this drama of passion and ambition from Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (After the Wedding; In A Better World). Set in the mountain country of North Carolina in the 1920s, it’s the story of young newlyweds carving out a timber and logging empire whose past comes back to haunt them. (R) 109 minutes.

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.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, co-creators of HBO cult hit Flight of the Conchords, take on vampire-obsessed pop culture in this comedy about bloodsucking roommates trying to keep up with the times— trends, technology, fashion, their zombie and werewolf rivals, and their daily dose of nourishment.

(Not rated) 86 minutes.

WILD TALES Recently nominated for a Foreign Language Oscar, produced by Pedro Almodóvar, this dark satire from Argentina contains six related stories about the pressures, demands, and injustices of modern life and a cast of characters who gleefully give in to the temptation to lose control. (R) 115 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles.

The market happens at the Scotts Valley Community Center and offers the full spectrum of organic everything, from vegetables, fruits, herbs, and pasture-raised eggs, to artisanal meats, breads, sea foods and pastries.

FARM TO FILM Next week the Nickelodeon will host two one-night-only screenings geared toward those who need to know the grass-roots intel on socially conscious farming. On April 7, enjoy Occupy the Farm, about urban farmers marking to protect 10 acres from shopping mall development.

The screening of 107 minutes will be followed by a Q&A with screening sponsor California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). But wait, there’s more! On April 8, check out the

Del Mar’s free screening of Food Chains, a documentary examining the human cost of large-scale fast food and supermarket purchasers of produce. Post-film discussion by UCSC and UC Global Food Initiative reps. Knowledge is power. If you care about how your food is grown, marketed and exploited, come see and participate. Free is good. Come see both and get farm radicalized.

Versatile Hobo Wine Company winemaker Kenny Likitprakong has another beauty in his Ghostwriter Pinot Noir Santa Cruz County 2012. Working an exciting palette of Italian plums, mandarins and tobacco/cola notes, this supple 13.7 percent alcohol wine opens to minerals, black pepper and lowimpact tannins. Mint haunts the top tier of aromas. A spicy creation of terroir and imagination, worth every penny of $30. At Shopper’s Corner and Soif.

CONDIMENT OF THE WEEK Zena’s Sass! Billed as “The Everything Sauce,” this creamy blend of sesame seeds, almonds and zippy spices seems to make friends with every food that doesn’t involve chocolate. Watching my resident male splash Zena’s on his eggs for the past two weeks, I’m beginning to suspect that hot sauce is a coping mechanism for men. Sauce gives them control, and hence relieves anxieties. This past month the hot sauce of choice has been Zena’s. Locally made. At New Leaf Community Markets.

ocavore bread made from local wheat—the new harvest from Ryan Roseman, grown at Coke Ranch—is back at Companion Bakeshop. If you haven’t tasted this superior old-world/new-field bread you are in for a treat. Local loaf tastes the way bread tasted in the pre-digital era—simple, with an incredible chewy texture and a tangy finish.

Wheat flour, sourdough culture, and salt—that’s it. “This bread is fabulous,” my sweetie kept saying as he devoured slice after slice of local loaf in its toasted incarnation. At lunch, we finessed one of the finest sandwiches ever, layering avocado, jalapeño jack, prosciutto and

The Bubbles Club is similar to the regular Odonata wine club, which offers members a 15 percent discount on bottles and 25 percent on cases.

With the Bubbles Club, there are two bottles per shipment of the same sparkling wine, two times per year: enjoy one right away and save the other for later. Shipments will increase to four per year once there is sufficient sparkling product in the pipeline.

Hoey’s tasting room is on Mission Street in Santa Cruz, and he recently opened another one in Salinas. When I met up with him a couple of weeks ago, he said he’s unbelievably busy.

Well, with a wife and two young sons and two tasting rooms to oversee, plus harvesting grapes and making wine at all hours, I would imagine he is.

Odonata Wines North, 2343 Mission St., Santa Cruz, 566-5147. Odonata is open Friday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Pizza night is Tuesdays from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Open every First Friday for the First Friday Art Walk. Odonatawines.com.

aster is coming up this weekend, the perfect excuse to treat yourself and your loved ones to a little bit of bubbly with Easter brunch—and a special bubbly at that. This soft pink Sparkling Rose of Sangiovese 2011 from Odonata Wines is absolutely gorgeous, overflowing with flavors of cherry pie and a touch of cream, plus those delightful festive bubbles. It’s made

by Denis Hoey, owner and talented winemaker at Odonata Wines.

Fruit for this 100-percentSangiovese wine is grown in Machado Creek Vineyard in Santa Clara County, where Hoey selects the very best grapes. With its creamy refined bubbles that dance in the mouth, this is a rosy-bright sparkler you will love.

“My family drinks bubbles on any day of the week, and I hope this bottle inspires you to do the same,” Hoey says on his label. “This wine is round, flavorful and lots of fun! I hope you have a blast uncapping and enjoying it,” he adds. When I uncapped it—it has an easy-to-open beer-bottle-style cap—I was on vacation in Palm Desert with my husband. And when family arrived the second week, it was a snazzy welcoming drop of bubbly to pop open.

Odonata Wines recently announced the winery’s first ever “Odonata Bubbles Club,” devoted strictly to sparkling wines. The first 100 people to join the new Bubbles Club will be guaranteed access to a very limited number of sparkling wines currently en tirage, including a Sparkling Riesling from the Santa Lucia Highlands.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your philosophy for the new place?

TIFFANY ELLA KING: There are

no steam tables here. When we say it is made from scratch, it is fully from scratch. Even the french fries!

Our food is local. We want to be the ambassadors of the Pajaro Valley. We feel this is really the heartbeat. You have Carmel stretching over there and Santa Cruz over here, but Pajaro is the center, the belly. Our meats come from Freedom Meat Locker, the local meat butcher; our seafood is sustainable; our vegetables are grown right here.

There are very few places in South County making authentic food.

have to admit, it took me two tries to find Ellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, despite the obvious location in its name: Ellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Airport. I was expecting a stand-alone building, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually right there in the terminal, in the same space as former restaurants Props, Zunigaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the Belly Landing. (No, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through metal detectors to dine.) After a soft launch, it celebrated its grand opening last week.

Ella King, 42, who has run the successful CafĂŠ Ella in Watsonville for seven years, has taken a big risk with a fine-dining establishment in a place with no pedestrian or drive-by traffic. But the food and the view are making it a choice destination. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been packed for lunches, dinners and Sunday brunches. And Saturday, there was some major fly-by traffic, as a group of 20 African-American pilots from a club called Red Tails flew in from all over the state for lunch.

Highlights include wood-fired pizza, panini sandwiches, comfort food and sustainable, high quality dinners.

Prices range from $13 for a burger or pasta for lunch to $26 for a steak at dinner, with plenty of veggie options.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES PASSION WEEK, ECLIPSE, FULL MOON AND MORE We have entered a most important week of multiple festivals. Three ages and religious festivals—stages for humanity’s development—are occurring simultaneously. Aries (Age of Laws), Pisces (Age of Faith), and Aquarian (Age of Science and Humanity); Jewish, Christian/Catholic and Esoteric teachings.

The first of the three Spring Festivals occurs Saturday along with the full moon, a total lunar eclipse (something in form and matter has come to an end, its usefulness completed). It’s also Passover, celebrating the passage from the Taurus to the Aries Age, symbolized by the Hebrew people’s walk of 40 years from Egypt through the Sinai Desert to Canaan (land of milk and honey), culminating with Moses receiving the 10 Commandments—laws that directed humanity through the Aries Age. Passover celebrates their safe passage out of Egypt, “the Angel passing over the Jewish homes, safeguarding their first born.”

The Aries Festival (first of three Spring Festivals—Aries, Taurus, Gemini) celebrates

the love of God. Accompanying the Aries light (light of life itself) are the forces of restoration (restoring humanity’s hope) and the spirit of resurrection (uplifting humanity in need of new education, resources, direction and guidance). Guidance to be given by the New Group of World Servers. Saturday’s solar Aries festival (at the full moon lunar eclipse) is celebrated by the New Group of World Servers worldwide. Join us everyone.

Sunday is Easter, celebrated by humanity worldwide. The three religious festivals arriving simultaneously signal that the coming new world religion is at hand, a synthesis and integration of all religions. We stand with our brothers and sisters everywhere in celebration.

We see what is no longer needed—that which created separations between us—disappear. We stand forward together in the new light, with the spirit of resurrection directing us. Hosanna!

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Everything you’ve thought about yourself is changing.

The changes are obvious yet subtle. They are affecting your entire life and all relationships. What you’ve learned in the past is good. But your mind now seeks more information, in-depth study, expanded awareness and new dimensions of thought. You will step into new fields of endeavor and study. Take special care of yourself as your new creative abilities come forth.

Use the tensions you’re experiencing to pursue a creative endeavor. It’s good to coordinate and cooperate with another, to bring forth harmony and intimacy within relationships. Right human relations occur when grievances are brought forth and listened to carefully to clear the air and discover truth. If there’s conflict, notice who has less power. Stand up, stand by, protect, and fight for them.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

It’s possible you’re doing great work, yet others (and not you), are recognized and applauded. This could create sadness that casts a shadow of unease all around.

Perhaps you want to show your true self but somehow you’re misunderstood. Results are emotional upsets and possible confrontations with others who can’t understand.

Solitude is best. Near a stream, under trees, in a forest, under stars or a desert far away. You know this place.

The focus is values once again. Listen carefully to what others value. Ask why they value what they do and how they came to their awareness. Some people may not understand the word value. Understanding your values defines present and future life choices. Create a visual and written journal describing what you value. At some defining point, the contents of your notebook manifest in the world of form and matter.

3960 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz s s www.frenchys.com Open Sun-Thurs 9am-11pm s Fri-Sat 9am-1am Be prepared to show ID. Must be 18 years old.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 It helps to gather with others working on a common project, a study, reading, gardening, cooking, dancing, exercise, swimming or parenting. Be sure to balance your presence (ideas, needs, wants) with the group needs. You’re not to be only in charge. Nor are you to be subservient. You’re to be equal. This is done by observing and coordinating your interests and needs with others.

Ask Venus to assist you in this important group task.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 When working with others, great things can be accomplished. New ideas fill the mind; the heart opens.

When changes are sensed in the world you realize you must lead others toward safe alternatives. You have great strength of purpose. Others may have different paths and purposes in life. Much work is needed. Create notebooks for each project. Upgrade your technology.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Maintain a daily exercise program and avoid anything unfavorable to your health. Should you feel frustrations do not maintain a pained and distant silence. Find someone who listens without offering advice. Keeping silent while experiencing intense feeling can create illness. Work each day on a goal. Do not push it aside. Tending to practical life helps us live with rhythms, pride, self-discovery and happiness.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Family issues bring forth today what happened long ago, activating what’s forgotten, behaviors not remembered, but most of all don’t understand. When we find ourselves arguing with others it could be that we don’t understand something and this hurts us. It’s vital to be aware of the reason behind choices, actions, words and intentions.

There is much activity within and at home. You need communication, solitude and rest there all at the same time.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Proceed with great care. Realize the power you project can make other feel uneasy. Therefore be aware of communication, especially if giving orders or speaking with officials. Aligning with them, letting them know you are on their side, makes people help you. Our most important gift (task, actually) is the ability to create goodwill, which leads to right relations leading to right actions and peace. Cultivate constant goodwill.

Are you experiencing lots of activity—errands, short trips, fixing things, decorating, preparing for guests, cleaning and clearing? You want others to recognize you’ve ordered your environment beautifully. This is good. Careful with seeing only one side of things —things only about yourself. Should you notice a shift in other people’s behavior it could be you’re not taking their needs into consideration. This isn’t Aquarian.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Things are subtle and blatant, present and then not, here but not there, then and later. How confusing this is.

What impels you to move forward is quietly transforming your vision of the future. It’s OK if things are a bit blurry.

Nothing can correct this. You must live with paradox for a time. Your life experiences are being reviewed for their usefulness. Call forth the virtue of patience. For a while.

A sense of discipline is needed for rest and relaxation. You need play, fun, simple and easy life experiences. Anything or anyone making demands upon you dissipates the little energy you have. You may need to explain how you’re feeling. Try to inform everyone of your need for ease and freedom. A Pisces can’t always be sad and hidden and drowning somewhere behind a watery fern.
