OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE The Santa Cruz alternative press has a proud tradition of covering LGBTQ issues that don’t get the attention they deserve in the mainstream media. This has a lot to do with the vibrant LGBTQ community here, and I suspect, also, with the fact that City on a Hill Press—the UCSC paper where many Santa Cruz journalists did their first reporting—had a section devoted to LGBTQ news for many years. That tradition has continued in Good Times, for instance in last year’s cover story celebrating 40 years of Santa Cruz Pride, in which Jacob Pierce traced the history of the local transgender community, and wrote about some of the issues activists were prioritizing.

Re: “Bern Notice” (GT, 10/28): Thank you Good Times, Roseann Hernandez and Jacob Pierce for your superlative article about SantaCruz4BernieSanders. We have already shared it online with our National Bernie Sanders Campaign 2016, because it is a powerful example for our grassroots organizations across the country—in 50 states, and dozens of cities.

“Bernie is humanizing politics,” our “supporters admire his integrity” and his courageous campaign to empower “We The People: The 99%”. Because it is true: “Congress doesn’t regulate Wall Street, Wall Street regulates Congress!”

Thank you for your admirable coverage of “Making History Now!” Check our local events calendar and “Feel The Bern” with us. Fiat lux!

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ‘THE WATER DIVINERS’ Like the concept, don’t see a plan. For

One of those issues was access to health care, and Anne-Marie Harrison’s cover story this week provides an in-depth look at how that health-care landscape is finally changing for transgender individuals—at least locally— thanks to the work of some dedicated health-care professionals.

Her story fits firmly into, and furthers, the local legacy of attention to important LGBTQ issues by highlighting an aspect of transgender identity that most of us who are not transgender ourselves would probably never think about.

Read the stories of transgender people locally who have dealt with discrimination and ignorance in the health-care system and you’ll be moved; read how medical professionals like Dr. Jennifer Hastings are working to change it, and you’ll be inspired.

An upgraded Graham Hill WTP will be very limited. None of the committee members or the consultants they hired have experience building earthen reservoirs, so, please, no excuses not doing work you know nothing about.

He believes that government must play an important role in making sure that all citizens have health care; that, as a right, all of our children, regardless of income, have quality childcare, are able to go to college without going deeply into debt; that we do not allow large corporations and moneyed interests to destroy our environment; and that we create >8

LOCAL TALK

Former residents: what are your thoughts on Santa Cruz today?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

There are too many people that don’t care about the old-school flavor that we had before the earthquake.

PHOEBE SCHMALFUSS MARQUEZ LOST COAST | SELF-EMPLOYED

The rent, traffic and homeless problems are terrible.

DAVID MARQUEZ LOST COAST | SPECIAL PROJECTS DIRECTOR

It’s always going to be a classic surf town, and liberal, and a nice place to raise a family and have fun and recreate. That’s not going away.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 4 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “I demand unconditional love and complete freedom,” wrote Slovenian poet Tomaz Salamun. “That is why I am terrible.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m offering you the chance, at least temporarily, to join Salamun in demanding unconditional love and complete freedom. But unlike him, you must satisfy one condition: Avoid being terrible. Can you do that? I think so, although you will have to summon unprecedented amounts of emotional intelligence and collaborative ingenuity.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 You have the answers you need, but you keep sniffing around as if there were different or better answers to be had. Moreover, you’ve been offered blessings that could enable you to catalyze greater intimacy, but you’re barely taking advantage of them—apparently because you underestimate their potency. Here’s what I think: As long as you neglect the gifts you have already been granted, they won’t provide you with their full value. If you give them your rapt appreciation, they will bloom.

GEMINI May21–June20 Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) tried to earn a living by selling pencil sharpeners, but couldn’t make it. In frustration, he turned to writing novels. Success! Among his many popular novels, 27 of them were about a fictional character named Tarzan. The actor who played Tarzan in the movies based on Burroughs’ books was Johnny Weissmuller. As a child, he suffered from polio, and rebuilt his strength by becoming a swimmer. He eventually won five Olympic gold medals. Burroughs and Weissmuller are your role models in the coming weeks, Gemini. It’s a favorable time for you to turn defeat into victory.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Artist Andy Warhol had an obsession with green underpants. In fact, that’s all he ever wore beneath his clothes.

It might be fun and productive for you to be inspired by his private ritual. Life is virtually conspiring to ripen your libido, stimulate your fertility, and expedite your growth.

So anything you do to encourage these cosmic tendencies could have an unusually dramatic impact. Donning green undies might be a good place to start. It would send a playful message to your subconscious mind that you are ready and eager to bloom.

In the coming weeks, take special notice of the jokes and humorous situations that prompt you to laugh the loudest. They will provide important clues about the parts of your life that need liberation. What outmoded or irrelevant taboos should you consider breaking? What inhibitions are dampening your well-being? How might your conscience be overstepping its bounds and making you unnecessarily constrained? Anytime you roar with spontaneous amusement, you will know you have touched a congested place in your psyche that is due for a cleansing.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 For each of the last 33 years, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Los Angeles has selected a “National Hero Dog.” It’s an award given to a canine that has shown exceptional courage in helping or rescuing people. In 2015, the group departed from tradition. Its National Hero Dog is a female cat named Tara. Last May, she saved a 4-year-old boy by scaring off a dog that had begun to attack him. I’m guessing you will soon have an experience akin to Tara’s. Maybe you'll make a gutsy move that earns you an unexpected honor.

Maybe you’ll carry out a dramatic act of compassion that’s widely appreciated. Or maybe you’ll go outside your comfort zone to pull off a noble feat that elevates your reputation.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 According to cartoon character Homer Simpson, “Trying is the first step toward failure.” I don’t agree with that comic advice. But I do think the following variant will be applicable to you in the coming weeks: “Trying too hard

is the first step toward failure.” So please don’t try too hard, Libra. Overexertion should be taboo. Straining and struggling would not only be unnecessary, but counterproductive. If you want to accomplish anything worthwhile, make sure that your default emotion is relaxed confidence. Have faith in the momentum generated by all the previous work you have done to arrive where you are now.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Elsie de Wolfe (1859-1950) was a pioneer in the art of interior design. She described herself as “a rebel in an ugly world.” Early in her career she vowed, “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful,” and she often did just that. In part through her influence, the dark, cluttered decor of the Victorian era, with its bulky draperies and overly ornate furniture, gave way to rooms with brighter light, softer colors, and more inviting textures.

I’d love to see you be inspired by her mission, Scorpio.

It’s a good time to add extra charm, grace, and comfort to your environments.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 At the age of 36, author Franz Kafka composed a 47-page letter to his father Herman. As he described the ways that his dad’s toxic narcissism and emotional abuse had skewed his maturation process, he refrained from lashing out with histrionic anger. Instead he focused on objectively articulating the facts, recounting events from childhood and analyzing the family dynamic.

In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend that you write a letter to your own father—even if it’s filled with praise and gratitude instead of complaint. At this juncture in your life story, I think you especially need the insights that this exercise would generate. Write the letter for your own sake, not with the hope of changing or hurting or pleasing your dad. You don’t have to give it to him.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Shizo Kanakuri was one of Japan’s top athletes when he went to compete in the marathon race at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Partway through the event, fatigued by sweltering heat, bad food, and the long journey he’d made to get there, Kanakuri passed out.

He recovered with the help of a local farmer, but by then the contest was over. Embarrassed by his failure, he sneaked out of Sweden and returned home. Fast forward to 1966. Producers of a TV show tracked him down and invited him to resume what he’d started. He agreed.

At the age of 74, he completed the marathon, finishing with a time of 54 years, eight months. I think it’s time to claim your own personal version of this opportunity, Capricorn. Wouldn’t you love to resolve a process that got interrupted?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In most sporting events, there’s never any doubt about which competitor is winning. Each step of the way, the participants and spectators know who has more points or goals or runs. But one sport isn’t like that. In a boxing match, no one is aware of the score until the contest is finished—not even the boxers themselves. I think you're in a comparable situation. You won’t find out the final tally or ultimate decision until the “game” is complete.

Given this uncertainty, I suggest that you don’t slack off even a little. Keep giving your best until the very end.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 One night as you lie sleeping in your bed, you will dream of flying through the sunny summer sky. The balmy air will be sweet to breathe. Now and then you will flap your arms like wings, but mostly you will glide effortlessly.

The feeling that flows through your body will be a blend of exhilaration and ease. Anywhere you want to go, you will maneuver skillfully to get there. After a while, you will soar to a spot high above a scene that embodies a knotty problem in your waking life. As you hover and gaze down, you will get a clear intuition about how to untie the knots.

Whether or not you remember this dream, the next day you will work some practical magic that begins to shrink or dissolve the problem.

a government which is not dominated by big money interests.

I believe Bernie’s policies show that he most resembles America’s greatest progressive president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

RE: BEACH FLATS GARDEN

I believe all legit Airbnb hosts pay lodging tax to the city that goes into the General Fund. Why not use those funds to develop more affordable housing?

Residential living in the Beach Flats area is the vision of the progressive left.

It’s a long-term vision that struggles to find many supporters even with their construction of subsidized housing.

Tourism has always been a part of Santa Cruz history, and is really the only local industry that brings in dollars from the outside. Beach Hill and Beach Flats should have been built out with shops, hotels, restaurants and other business to serve the tourist industry. It is a sad place to live.

GREASED LIGHTNING ROD The World Health Organization set off a firestorm last week when it added bacon and other processed meats to its list of carcinogens.

Strip Down The truth behind the bacon controversy BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

T

of bacon a day increases your risk for colorectal cancer by 18 percent, according to WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

“We’ve known for years that the nitrogen in cured meats, which would be your bacon, your ham, your sausage, combines with amino acids to form something called nitrosamines. And this is just a spontaneous chemical reaction that occurs in the gut. And nitrosamines are, in fact, carcinogenic,” says Dr. Dawn Motyka of KUSP’s Ask Dr. Dawn radio show. “We know that if you put nitrosamines on a bunch of cells that you’ll see mutations in the cells that are adverse, in the cancer direction.”

IRAC drew its overdue conclusion from 800 epidemiological studies (across several continents and ethnic groups) that investigated the association between cancer and the consumption of both processed and red meat. (Red meat, by the way, received the lighter sentence

of “possible carcinogen,” with an estimated 17 percent increase in colorectal cancer for individuals who consume 100 grams, about the size of a deck of cards, of red meat per day.)

Of course, the North American Meat Institute (yes, it’s a real organization) attacked the findings, stating, “They tortured the data to ensure a specific outcome.” But fighting the pro-meat battle seems to be growing more and more futile. The Global Burden of Disease Project, an independent academic research organization, attributes 34,000 cancer deaths worldwide to diets high in processed meats, and 50,000 deaths per year worldwide to diets high in red meat.

So, what about nitrate-free cured meats? Motyka says they won’t generate nitrosamines in the gut— but they can still produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which are also directly carcinogenic. “They are not present in the cured meat [before you cook it], they’re present

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

he Internet sizzled and popped last week after the World Health Organization officially (or finally?) added bacon and other processed meats to its list of known carcinogens. Yes, the onslaught of greasy headlines has made me queasy, too, and I don’t hate bacon—even now that it shares the same cancer risk category as tobacco smoking, asbestos and plutonium.

That bacon isn’t a health food shouldn’t be a surprise, even to those who refer to it as “meat candy.” But the simple question remains: do we prepare for a life beyond bacon or continue frying the heck out it?

First, an important clarification: bacon is not actually as dangerous as smoking cigarettes, it simply shares the same Group 1 classification of carcinogen, kind of like how cannabis shares its Schedule 1 classification with heroin. Smoking tobacco increases your risk of lung cancer by 2,500 percent. Eating two slices

after you grill it, or fry it,” says Motyka. “It takes high temperature to push that chemical reaction.”

Which means crispy bacon is, unfortunately, definitely a culprit.

Additionally, Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D, of the University of Texas Houston Biomedical Research Center says that many nitrite-free brands use celery salt, which is 50 percent nitrate, plus a starter culture of bacteria, which transforms it into nitrite—a method he says can result in twice the nitrite content of bacon cured directly with nitrite salt.

“Your body is capable of dealing with pro-cancerous events,” says Motyka. “We do it constantly, and it’s a matter of how much do you throw at it and what’s enough that you actually start to tip the odds.”

Genetics may play a role, too, and people carrying the CYTOCHROME P450 1B1 gene may produce more nitrosamines than others, adds Motyka. Either way, it may be time to reconsider your meat intake.

“In China, up until they destroyed their environment, they had lower cancer rates. They used meat as a condiment, as a flavoring. And they would eat maybe 100 grams of bacon in a big plate full of vegetables, onions and garlic—the bacon adds the flavor, but it’s really not a large component. And that’s really actually the safest way to consume bacon, is to pretend it’s Parmesan cheese,” says Motyka.

In the United States, using bacon to flavor and add fat to a pot of beans that will feed a large family just isn’t the same as eating it on a hamburger for lunch every day or frying it up daily for breakfast.

When it comes to red meat, the word is moderation. “I would always go with grass-fed organic meat for humane reasons, as well as health reasons,” says Motyka, “which makes it expensive enough that you’re careful enough about how you use it and how often you need it. And if you can only afford McDonald's hamburgers, then my advice is scrape out all the stuff that they put on it, don’t eat the bun, and get the salad bar. And that’s a better diet than most primitive men had access to. It’s got good variety and it will keep you alive.”

New Routines Are Key to Optimizing Your Workout

by Team In-Shape, Advertorial

-JONATHAN, 36, CARMEL

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

DEAR JONATHAN: Great job going into your health club often! Not only are you bored with your usual routine, but so is your body. If you do the same routine each time, your body will get too used to the exercise, and it will no longer challenge you. You could work on the same routine for months, and not see any results!

Adding a new piece of equipment often will change up your routine, and keep your body challenged. We suggest adding a BOSUÂŽ ball, ZKLFK \RX FDQ ÂżQG LQ DOO RI RXU KHDOWK FOXEV BOSUÂŽ balls create instability and forces you to keep your body controlled. It takes simple, quick exercises and makes them a little more challenging. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great piece of equipment to help build core strength, endurance, agility and stability.

Start out using it with squats and pushups. As it gets easier for you, try more complex moves VXFK DV PRXQWDLQ FOLPEHUV DQG ODWHUDO VKXIĂ&#x20AC;HV There are many exercises you can do with a BOSUÂŽ ball; if you want to learn more a personal trainer at In-Shape: Carmel would be happy to show you more!

-GRACE, 42, CAPITOLA DEAR SUZIE: You are right, a pound of fat is a lot bigger and takes up more space than a pound of muscle. Muscle is much denser than IDW LW WDNHV XS IRXU ÂżIWKV DV PXFK VSDFH DV IDW does. Although someone is the same height and weight, depending on their body fat percentage, one will appear larger. Fat is a lot more lumpy and bulky, whereas muscle is smooth and shapely.

Muscle helps you burn more calories in your workout. One pound of muscle can burn up to 70 calories a day, whereas fat burns up to 7 calories a day. Muscle even helps burn calories when your body is at rest. The best way to maximize muscle gain is to incorporate resistance training into your workout, such as body weight training (when you use your own body weight as resistance).

As long as you are going above and beyond what you normally do, you will see your body fat percentage go down. Always continue to challenge yourself and gain healthy muscle.

City and county look for balance on vacation rentals

W

ith a warm smile and a full brown beard, U.S. Navy veteran Paul Damon looks perfectly healthy in body and spirit, and comes across as the kind of guy who always has been. Despite appearing well on the surface, though, Damon—a yogi, activist, and even a 2007 Grammy contender—has faced the inner demons that so many veterans are burdened with.

“When I got out, I had a hard time adjusting,” Damon says. “Memory loss is a huge deal. You stay irate all the time. It’s hard to remember where your car is or how to get home. There’s a lot of stuff that starts wearing on you.”

The 36-year-old is now one of the founding members of Holistic Veterans, a nonprofit based in Santa

Cruz. The group is dedicated to helping veterans heal and assimilate back into civilian life through yoga, meditation, servitude and holistic teachings.

This Veterans Day, the nonprofit is throwing its first ever Community Healing Project. At the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Santa Cruz, Holistic Veterans will host free yoga and meditation, alternating every half hour, featuring 18 local and Bay Area practitioners in yoga, reiki, massage, acupuncture, nutrition, herbal medicine, and more, from 5 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

“It’s a celebration of community,” explains 40-year-old Holistic Veterans co-founder James Keeley, a veteran himself. “It’s all about approaching healing from mind, body and spirit and not discounting

these ancient medical applications.”

The Community Healing Project will also feature live music and painting, as well as an auction of donated prizes—gift certificates, gym memberships, yoga classes, and the like. At 6 p.m. there will be a dinner provided by New Leaf Community Markets; all proceeds from it and the auction will go toward Holistic Veterans’ first project.

“We want to take 12 veterans—six males, six females—into Costa Rica to the HOME Farm,” Damon says.

“It has a triple-cascade 226-foot waterfall at the base of the property, and it’s one of the cleanest water sources in the country.”

An empty hammock hangs idly on the front porch of a modern home overlooking a garden.

A block away, beach lovers pedal, jog and push strollers up and down West Cliff Drive.

The house would be big enough to house a decent-sized family or a group of UCSC students. This space, though, is a place for visitors to Santa Cruz, some of them tech entrepreneurs from all over the world.

“The goal was to be surrounded by likeminded people that value work/life balance and the outdoors,” Emmanuel says via email.

Emmanuel, who asked us to withhold his last name, runs the establishment on the corner of Oxford Way and Almar Avenue. “I have had guests from all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Some of them, like me, fell in love with Santa Cruz and decided to settle down here.”

The vacation rental, which was once called Surf Office Santa Cruz, has four listings for both individual rooms and shared ones, with nightly rates ranging from $67 to $105 on Airbnb.com. There it boasts average reviews as high as five stars.

Emmanuel has converted the garage into a co-working spot, according to a Santa Cruz Tech Beat article written by a former guest. Other amenities, according to the article, include speedy wireless Internet, full kitchen privileges, a flat-screen television, and a yoga room, as well as bikes and surfboards for guests to use.

The question, according to Santa Cruz city planning staff, is whether or not this property crosses the line between an acceptable surf haunt and an unpermitted business operating in a residential area.

“It appears more like a business operating in a residential zone than a family renting a room to someone visiting Santa Cruz,” says Santa Cruz Assistant Planning Director Alex Khoury. Khoury says staff may have to decide whether or not the Oxford Way house needs to follow the permitting avenues that traditional inns and co-working spots do.

Khoury says staff first got a few complaints from neighbors about this house several months ago, and code enforcement inspectors stopped by in February but they were mostly concerned about noise, lights and parking. Khoury says the managers agreed to cut >16

yoga community offering various cleanses, exercises and adventure tours. “We’re all in agreement that pharmaceuticals and [the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)] aren’t the only options,” Damon declares.

After almost a decade and a half of war in Afghanistan, most Americans have become familiar with the phrase, “Freedom isn’t Free,” but some of the real costs, people are coming to realize, are frightening.

Every day, 22 U.S. veterans take their own lives—almost one every hour, according to a 2013 report from the DVA. Damon says those numbers are not even complete, as many states don’t share their data.

“The numbers are probably higher,” Damon says. “I say it all the time, ‘In any other case this would be an epidemic and there would be a serious investigation into it.’”

This struggle is a conflict our men and women who have served face too often. It’s one that Damon himself almost lost three years ago.

“I chose to take my life in Costa Rica,” he says. “So I bought a plane ticket.”

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Paul Damon Alford joined the U.S. Navy in 1997 at the age of 18. Like many of his peers, he sought a life of

adventure and the opportunity to serve his country. He was stationed in the same battle group as the USS Cole when it was bombed by al-Qaida off the coast of Yemen in 2000, killing 17 people.

After four years of service, Damon was honorably discharged and thought he could return to civilian life. Six months later, he began playing music to deal with the things he had seen, telling his story wherever he went. While his anti-war message didn’t make him too many friends in Texas, he was entered as a contender for the 2007 Grammy Awards for “Best Rock Song” and “Best Rock Album,” although he was never nominated.

“The letter’s still at my mom’s house,” he says with a laugh.

As he was trained to do, Damon reached out to the DVA when he was highly depressed, and was instantly placed on the powerful antidepressant Trazodone. “But one of the main side effects is suicide!” he exclaims. “How can someone say, ‘I’m depressed,’ and be handed something that might cause death?”

Damon continued following his doctor’s orders, eventually adding more and more pharmaceuticals to his regimen. This was during the years the Army Suicide Prevention Task Force announced prescription medicines

were involved in almost a third of all veteran and active-duty suicides.

“I stayed locked up on a few medicines for a while and it caused me to lose my bowel control at any given moment,” he says. “It happened to me on stage three times, and that was it. I decided to unplug.”

That’s what brought him to Costa Rica.

While making final arrangements in the Central American country and searching for the pistol that would end his life, Damon went through an unbelievable change. Damon had yellow slime dripping from his pores, he says, and locals started telling him, “You kind of stink.”

It was the beginning of a holistic transformation.

The village community embraced Damon and told him he had clearly been poisoned by something, and that his body was trying to cleanse itself. They taught him about the natural healing properties of plants and the importance of mindfulness through yoga. After just 40 days, Damon’s Costa Rican friends noticed a drastic difference in him, both physically and mentally.

Damon says he wasn’t able to start winning the internal battle for his emotional health until he found eastern medicine and more mindful approaches to well-being. >19

NEWS BRIEFS SHOUTS AND SPROUTS Donning vegetable costumes, signs and bright yellow T-shirts, supporters of the Beach Flats Community Garden flooded Santa Cruz City Hall and its lawn on Tuesday, Nov. 3, to discuss a permanent solution for the 20-year-old garden facing eviction.

In the stuffy council chambers that reached their 114-person capacity, city councilmembers listened to supporters express their love for the garden. The meeting

came in response to a multimonth battle to save the halfacre garden in its entirety. The fate of the garden, which is on land owned by the Seaside Company, has been in limbo since March, when gardeners received notice that the company would reclaim their land in November.

City Councilmember Micah Posner, who put forth a resolution that calls for the city to look for a permanent home for the Beach Flats Garden, pointed out that the Beach Flats community faces a unique situation: the garden,

which happens to be the most substantial open space in the community, sits on private land. Posner also called for the city to attempt to buy the land on which the garden now sits. The council unanimously adopted the whole resolution.

The item began with an unexpected announcement from Kris Reyes, Seaside Company spokesperson, saying that the company would extend its lease on the garden. The new lease will keep two thirds of the garden open for the next three years while the city looks for a

permanent solution. Reyes said the company’s willingness to extend the lease was due to the city’s commitment to finding a permanent solution.

Prior to the meeting, hundreds marched from the garden to the city hall, and during the meeting organizers highlighted the over 3,700 online signatures—most of them on paper—that they collected on a petition supporting the garden. “This kind of community support, you just don’t see that every day,” Councilmember Richelle Noroyan said.

NIPS AND TUCKS The city of Santa Cruz will be looking at new vacation rental rules, including limiting the amount of days per year that people can stay.

back on the number of occupants.

Communities all over the country, including both the city and county of Santa Cruz, are grappling with the best way to deal with the rise of short-term rentals, due mostly to websites like Airbnb.

Supporters say it helps homeowners with their mortgage payments and provides an affordable yet comfortable way for tourists to travel. Skeptics worry about the loss of housing and the impacts on neighborhoods.

As this story went to press, San Francisco, where Airbnb is headquartered, was voting on a proposition to limit rentals to 75 nights per year and to beef up enforcement, too.

In Santa Cruz County, Noel Bock of the Davenport North Coast Association (DNCA) has been talking with fellow board members about what to do with Airbnb in the North County’s sleepy beach town. Bock is concerned about

absentee landlords who might not know or care about issues in Davenport. “Beyond that, it changes the community from a family-centered community to more tourist-centered,” she says.

The DNCA has started a discussion about possibly limiting the number of vacation rentals as county leaders do in Live Oak and Aptos, where they are capped at 15 percent of each area and 20 percent of any given block.

OUT BACK The Santa Cruz City Council has been moving toward a change of its own: preventing property owners from putting vacation rentals in their accessory dwelling units (ADUs)—the back houses and converted garages sometimes called “in-law units.”

Until one year ago, ADUs were front and center in a fight to create and legalize more housing that might keep rents from going sky-high. Now they’re ground zero for a

clash over vacation rentals, where they may no longer be allowed.

The ADU-Airbnb debate comes down to a couple of core issues, as the council juggles the laws of supply and demand in a suffocating housing market on the one hand, and homeowner interests and freedoms in the other. Homeowners, for instance, may have already made decisions on whether or not to buy homes based on whether or not they have the added income of a vacation rental, which is a bigger income stream than a long-term unit.

At an Oct. 13 council meeting, Vice Mayor Cynthia Mathews proposed that the city restrict ADUs for only long-term tenants—people staying more than 30 days. The motion also grandfathered in anyone already renting out their ADU as long as they were up to date on paying their transient occupancy taxes, which all guests are required to pay.

The motion passed 4-3, with Mathews, Cynthia Chase, Micah Posner, and Mayor

Don Lane supporting it. The change will come back to the council on Tuesday, Nov. 10 for another reading.

Dissenting councilmembers criticized the decision, saying that more study was needed.

Councilmember Pamela Comstock called for a city task force to look at short-term rentals, as one has been doing in Pacific Grove.

After the vote, the council gave direction to planning staff for things to study for a possible overhaul of vacation rentals.

Suggestions include a limit on the number of days per year that each vacation rental would be available, creating a time of the year (like summer, for example) when rentals would be allowed, and even taking a close look at couchsurfing.

The planning department is looking to add an employee and schedule some town hall meetings. Planners want to tackle the new plan before the next wave of tourism hits.

“Our goal is to come back with something definitely before summertime,” says Khoury.

“After a decade of fighting it with pharmaceuticals, I bounced back very quickly,” he says. “The suicidal thoughts started to fade really fast.”

Damon will work to keep the principles he learned in Costa Rica alive through Holistic Veterans. By his side are Keeley and Damon’s partner, Tigre Soleil, a veteran whom he met in Costa Rica. At the time, Soleil was on her own search for healing as a victim of sexual assault during her time in the military—an epidemic that affects one in three women who serve.

Now, with more attention on the issue of veteran suicide, a new federal law is looking to curb the numbers.

In February, President Barack Obama signed H.R. 203, the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act, which passed the Senate unanimously. The act, named after a Purple Heart-decorated Marine who struggled in civilian life with traumas he faced in the Middle East before committing suicide in 2011, calls for independent reviews of the DVA and the Department of Defense programs meant to prevent suicide among vets and create community outreach programs for those in need. It also establishes a program to repay psychiatry students’ school debt if they choose to work in the DVA after graduation.

It isn’t the only issue facing the nation’s heroes this Veterans Day. Every year, the holiday also shines a light on the plight of veterans who are homeless, and in Santa Cruz County there has been a push to end the problem. A year ago, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors and all four local city councils took action to house all vets by the end of 2015. With three months left, there are still 193 homeless vets in the county. This Veterans Day, Nov. 11, the county will make an announcement on this topic at a separate event, also at the Vets Hall, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

ill-intentioned, says Brandt—it was most often a lack of knowledge.

When he took his son to the hospital and nurses misgendered him, it made him physically uncomfortable, says Brandt.

“I could just see him shrink every time, because in some sense it’s not something that you can prove, right? If someone asked me to prove my physical sex, I could do it. But if you asked someone to prove their gender identity, you have to go on their word,” says Brandt. “Everybody at 13 struggles with who they are, but with transgender kids they’re struggling with what they are.”

Brandt’s son is now 16, and things are better, says Brandt. His son is open about his identity and is happier, more at peace with himself.

“I can either have a dead daughter or a living son,” says Brandt. “I chose a living son.”

‘WOULD THIS PERSON FEEL SAFE COMING TO YOUR OFFICES?’ Petite in frame but big in personality, Dr. Jennifer Hastings is the director of the transgender health care program at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte; and UCSF assistant clinical professor at

the fore of national transgender health care awareness. In front of an almost-full conference room of health-care workers on Soquel Avenue, she tells the story of a patient who came to her office years ago: “He opened his shirt and I really almost lost it in my knees. It was one of the largest masses I’ve ever seen protruding from the skin, already ulcerating at the edges. He’d known about this for over 10 years, and hadn’t felt safe to seek health care,” she remembers. “He said, ‘I want to die a man.’”

Hastings describes how this patient avoided medical care because someone laughed at him when he went to a Planned Parenthood for a Pap smear. He was born female, but identified as male, and it took him a decade to have the tumor on his chest examined. By then, the cancer had metastasized to his spine and his brain.

“Would this person feel safe coming to your offices?” Hastings asks the audience.

She’s speaking to a group that represents all components of medical health: nurses, front office staff, medical assistants, educators, doctors, physicians assistants,

hen his biologically female child started wearing boy’s clothing, UCSC computer science professor Scott Brandt and his family thought nothing of it. When adolescence hit, though, things got more complicated.

“At around age 12, he started to become suicidal, very depressed,” Brandt says. “By age 13, he tried to commit suicide.”

Things got so bad that Brandt started monitoring his child’s computer chats, so when he wrote to his friend ‘I’m going to die tonight, I’ve already taken half the pills,’ Brandt ran to his room and confronted him.

“He just exploded. He was so angry at us—so angry at the world,” says Brandt. “He just wanted to die.”

They took him to one residential care facility after the next. “One of the therapists said ‘You’re a girl, suck it up.’ Another place said ‘We just can’t, we don’t know anything about this,’” remembers Brandt. “He was home for three months, crashed again, and was in the hospital four times in three weeks.”

and nurse practitioners. Hosted by Sutter Health, the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Beyond Transgender training session is part of a movement within local health care spearheaded by Hastings and Sharon Papo, executive director of the Santa Cruz Diversity Center.

“Transgender health care issues are a national concern. Especially in an emergency when they’d have less of an ability to advocate for themselves,” says Papo. “This is a life and death issue.”

In 2014, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute published a report on suicide attempts among transgender and gender-nonconforming adults. The National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that among respondents who were refused treatment by a doctor or health-care provider, 60 percent had attempted suicide.

Out of the survey’s respondents, 41 percent had attempted suicide, compared to 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population and 10-20 percent of lesbian, gay and bisexual adults.

Why such a disproportionately high number of suicide attempts for transgender and gender-nonconforming people?

Because identity is inescapable, says Hastings.

“Gender is kind of profound—it’s the first thing that someone asks when someone is having a baby: ‘is it a boy or a girl?’” says Hastings.

“Gender identity is how I feel inside.

You have no idea what gender I feel inside; ‘transgender’ is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity or gender expression is different from the sex assigned at birth.”

Most of us already feel vulnerable when discussing a health issue with

a complete stranger, says Papo, so it’s even more difficult to trust the expertise of trained professionals (with your life, in some cases) when they can’t move past what they see in the waiting room.

The National Transgender Discrimination Survey Report on Health and Health Care reported in 2010 that 28 percent of transgender and gender non-conforming survey participants postponed medical care when sick or injured due to discrimination.

That’s why Papo and Hastings started training local providers in 2014. They’ve had three sessions at Dominican Hospital with more than 200 medical providers, and are in conversation with the Watsonville Community Hospital to begin trainings in 2016.

“Not only do I want providers to get trained,” says Papo, “but I want

the transgender community to know that the providers got trained, so people stop delaying care when they need it.”

Maltreatment due to ignorance can have devastating ramifications, she says, and there are far too many examples of misplaced curiosity leading to blatant invasions of privacy.

“When you have a hurt leg, no one should ask you about your genitals,” says Papo.

‘IT TRIGGERS THIS SENSE IN PEOPLE THAT YOU’RE DECEIVING THEM’ Studies have found that transgender people suffer the most violence, discrimination and harassment when compared to any other group.

In 2011, the National Transgender Discrimination Survey reported that of the transgender identity and gender-non-conformity children in 25>

TAKING CARE The 2010 National Transgender Discrimination Survey Report on

Health and Health Care shows that transgender and non-conforming patients often postpone needed and preventive health care due to discrimination by providers.

Female-to-male (FTM) transgender respondents reported the highest frequency of delaying care compared to male-to-female (MTF) transgender respondents.

Similarly, gender-non-conforming (GNC) patients identifying on the female-to-male end of the identity spectrum reported higher rates of postponing care than gendernon-conforming people on the male-to-female spectrum.

<22 Beatty has experienced the good—with respectful, open hospital staff—and the bad: receptionists stumbling over pronouns, sending him to the women’s restroom, and “talking about how to handle me as a patient.”

‘I’VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THAT IT DOESN’T HURT ME ANYMORE’ As a nurse for Planned Parenthood, Alejandra Santiago has seen both sides of the story. Born male in Oaxaca, Mexico, she left for the States at 17 and found that transgender people often have to work just to prove their identity to health-care providers.

“I know what it is to be transgender, I’m living it,” Santiago said as a panel speaker at the Sutter training session, speaking on the steps necessary to begin the medical part of transitioning. “I thought ‘Why do I have to go to a therapist?

If the rest of the world doesn't understand it, they should go to a therapist.’”

It used to be so much worse, says Hastings.

Therapists were essentially the gatekeepers for signing off on hormones and surgical procedures, 26>

kindergarten through high school, 78 percent reported harassment, 35 percent physical assault and 12 percent sexual violence.

That’s the tip of the iceberg: discrimination and violence by law enforcement, in the workplace, within the family, in housing accommodations, and in public services, reflect similarly high numbers, especially for transgender people of color.

“What’s unique for trans bodies is that it triggers this sense in people that you’re deceiving them and that provokes an often-violent reaction in a way that doesn’t in sexuality,” says Lex Beatty, 32, who has been public within the Santa Cruz community about his transition to male.

In 2008, Beatty was with a group of friends in San Francisco when they went to a club thinking it was Gay Night. It wasn’t, and when they left the club a group of men started to harass Beatty and his friends, grabbing one “femme” friend.

One of the men broke a bottle of Patrón tequila over Beatty’s head, landing him in the hospital with a broken bone behind his eye. He suffered from migraines for five years after the incident.

says Hastings. Except the World Professional Association for Transgender Health guidelines were incredibly restrictive, dangerous even, and few therapists even had enough experience with gender dysphoria (the clinical term for being transgender), so patients would often tell them what they thought they wanted to hear in order to obtain “the letter” for hormones.

Nowadays, therapy is recommended in order to receive hormones, but not required—unlike for the approval of surgeries.

But considering that transgender health is still not common curriculum at medical school, many physicians don’t feel comfortable assessing the patients at all.

Things aren’t perfect but small efforts can make a big difference, said Santiago at the panel. Even starting out with a smile can put someone at ease, and it’s easier to avoid “Mr.” or “Ms.” altogether until the patient’s preference has been established.

“At my age, I don’t care if someone calls me a mister or says ‘You’re a guy,’ because I’ve been through so much that it doesn’t hurt me anymore,” she says. “Medical care can be taught, but I think of the kids that are coming up and it’s hard for them—the harassment hurts, it stays there.”

‘IF THIS CONFUSES YOU, WELCOME TO MY WORLD’ For people like Phoenix Madrone, 27, who spoke at the Sutter training session, it’s even more difficult to answer the “what” or the “who.”

“I don’t see myself as entirely a

man or a woman, but something in between, in a category that none of the languages I speak actually has a word for,” Madrone said at the panel.

Madrone identifies as genderqueer, or non-binary, so Madrone’s prefered gender pronoun is “they” instead of “she” or “he” (“If this confuses you, welcome to my world,” they said at the healthcare panel.)

There have been plenty of times when Madrone has had to explain this to a doctor or medical professional.

“I had to educate my endocrinologist—the one who prescribes my hormones—on what it means to be non-binary. I also had a surgical procedure that was genderrelated where I had to explain things a few times to that doctor,” they says.

Madrone had to defend their decision to not have their ovaries taken out when going in for a routine hysterectomy. Another doctor refused to believe that there was a connection between Madrone’s headaches and taking testosterone.

“With doctors, they know their fields pretty well so they assume their patient is self-diagnosed on WebMD and doesn’t know what they’re talking about,” says Madrone.

Things aren’t any easier outside hospital walls. Madrone is currently one year into the legal transition to have their name changed, which requires a court order. They’ve been to the DMV twice and to court four times; then there’s ensuring that credit

cards, social security and passport all match. Each has its individual process and requires information from another source to alter the labeled name, so when a person’s driver’s license says one thing and their credit card says another, things can get tricky.

The bottom line is that there needs to be a third option, says Madrone, for all administrative realms. Health care is critical because it’s at the center of a person’s transition—whether they chose to do so surgically or hormonally, or not at all—but that same lack of knowledge extends to all facets of life for gender-nonconforming people, says Madrone.

“Previously, I was scared for my safety going into a gendered bathroom when I wasn’t sure how people would read me,” says Madrone. “I wish that gendered bathrooms weren’t a thing, because every time I go to use one, I stop and mentally check myself, get myself ready for confrontation, which is … exhausting, frankly.”

‘NO, THIS IS A MAN WITH A CERVIX AND A UTERUS AND HE NEEDS A PAP SMEAR’ For cisgender people (a term used to describe someone who is not transgender, or who identifies with the gender they were born into) something like intake forms can seem commonplace. But for a gender-nonconforming person, there are most often only two boxes to check: male or female.

Stephen Gray, the chief administrative officer for Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center of Santa Cruz, says this is exactly why Sutter is working to include options for “preferred name” and “trans-man,” “trans-woman” for their electronic records so that a person’s correct information goes with them to every department.

In addition to the records, Sutter plans to provide more training sessions in the future and create an ongoing curriculum which would combine smaller sessions for individual nursing departments with larger group trainings: “This topic

is too important to too many people in our community to just address it once and assume that’s sufficient,” says Gray.

In California, the Gender Nondiscrimination Act makes it illegal to discriminate against someone based on their sexual orientation or their gender identity, but many providers are not aware of state law or do not comply, says Hastings.

“A Pap smear for a transgender man is often denied because they say ‘oh, well, this is a man, he doesn’t need a Pap smear—you have to say, ‘no, this is a man with a cervix and a uterus and he needs a Pap smear,’” she says.

And it’s not always easy to keep up with all the changes, she admits—even the LGBTQ acronym is today up to LGBTQQIAA for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer/ Questioning Intersex Ally and Asexual. It’s a veritable alphabet soup, yes, says Hastings, but it doesn’t need to be overwhelming for health-care workers or anyone else.

Some examples of how to improve services are simple things like posting rainbow stickers, having LGBTQ literature available in the waiting room, asking for preferred pronouns, and to not be paralyzed by fear of making a mistake—more often than not, the person can recognize the effort, says Hastings.

Things are moving in the right direction, Hastings says—as in 2010 when President Obama struck down the requirement that a person had to have surgery in order to have the gender marker on their driver’s license changed.

Just like sexuality, gender exists on a spectrum, Hastings points out.

Some transgender people might start taking hormones but not have any surgeries, some might have one surgery but not the other. It all depends on the individual—and moving forward to inclusivity depends on people realizing that.

“Work to see that the person in front of you is the expert on themselves,” Hastings says.

“Respect that.”

Checking out one of her worksin-progress—on thick watercolor paper that has been stapled to a thick wooden board—I can’t resist asking a few technical questions, and Gabrielle is happy to respond. “I’m fairly consistent about my paints. Usually Winsor & Newton, sometimes Holbein.

Winsor & Newton colors are more subtle than others, such as Daniel Smith,” she contends. Arches is her paper of choice, although she experiments with others.

“This is a new French paper,” she says, pointing to an unfinished landscape on her work table.

“Usually I soak the paper first and then staple it. That way it won’t warp as it dries.” Her cards are printed by Community Printers, and her framer—Picture Appeal— does her giclées as well. Showing off her field kit—a small backpack with a lightweight easel—she reveals that she keeps her plein air work small. “I usually try to paint on 18 x 24-inch paper on location.

If I go to the trouble of bringing it all out there, I want it to be worth it,” she says.

Lined with drawers and shelves for original work as well as an inventory of her cards, Gabrielle’s studio is private, idyllic and just across the patio from her home.

“This is my base when I’m here,” she smiles. “But we travel a lot now.” Hawaii beckons next.

33 years ago. Gabrielle’s first job here was “doing the windows at JCPenney’s,” she recalls with a laugh. Through Santa Cruz Parks & Rec she took her first watercolor class. “That inspired me, and while I was raising my children I took more classes off and on,” she says.

Soon she needed more challenges, and she took more classes. The rest is history.

Looking around her present studio, we both agree that her career is vibrant. “My goal is always to make at least two paintings a week. I don’t always meet that goal,” she says with a smile. “But sometimes I make more. I love to paint. It’s my passion.”

Gabrielle, like other watercolorists, has some of her most popular images reproduced in giclée prints, making her appealing work more widely available. “I’m not a commercial artist,” she maintains. “I’ve got to please myself. People who only know the reproduced images don’t get the full measure of my work, or how it is evolving.”

While she does show at a few galleries, she credits Open Studios with providing a lot of visibility.

“And the Internet has helped print sales,” she says. “Prints and cards are my bread and butter.” Gabrielle is in the enviable position of making a living from her painting and reproduction sales. “The checks come each month,” she says.

Local playwrights add some twists to Cabrillo’s take on holiday classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ BY KATIE SMALL

W

hat’s so ambitious about the Cabrillo College Theater Arts Department’s production of It’s a Wonderful Life is the risks it takes while re-imaging a beloved holiday classic. In line with the Depression-era film, the musical version incorporates the housing collapse and financial crisis, among other modern-day issues. The major twist is that each character has a unique musical identity, with ballads ranging in genre from gospel to reggae to rock.

In Frank Capra’s film of the same name, there is one angel with a very limited role. In contrast, Cabrillo’s

musical boasts an entire gospel choir of angels, led by renowned local singer Tammi Brown. George Bailey (David Jackson)’s guardian angel Clarence (Jarrod Washington) is a Rastafarian whose role was developed through an intended interplay between two musical genres tied to religion. The antagonistic evil banker naturally owns the ominous rock-opera style played out in minor chords. George and Mary, the two protagonists, sing more traditional show tunes.

Despite this stylistic variety, the score manages to flow due to recognizable patterns in composer Chris Perri’s writing style. Perri

(aka heartthrob Johnny Perri of local ’80s band Eddie & The Tide) points out that “so many musicals stick to one style of music, show tunes or big Broadway ballads, and that can get dry after a while. It’s fun to change it up.”

The musical stays true to the film’s original storyline, following protagonist Bailey, a good man essential to a small town’s wellbeing, who is framed by the banker in a public scandal ripe with theft, betrayal and infidelity.

Despondent, Bailey resolves to take his own life, but his clever guardian angel intervenes. In the end, Bailey learns that friends,

family and community—not fame and fortune—are the true measures of wealth and happiness.

But the musical adventurousness had an effect on the play’s overall tone. “We went in a lighter direction than the original film with the songs,” Perri said. “There’s still those heavy moments where George Bailey thinks about suicide and wishes he’d never been born, but the parts in between are more fun.”

Perri conceptualized the music after partner Marcus Kaufman wrote the lyrics. Kaufman and Perri wrote the score back in 2009—the play then sat dormant for five years before being picked up by director Kathryn Adkins.

“The original writing process was very fast,” Perri said. He had to dig deep beyond his rock ’n’ roll roots, to early childhood memories of listening to his parents’ vinyl collection, which included several musicals: “This was the first time I’d ever done something like this—I’d completely forgotten about listening to musicals as a kid, but it all came back. The influence of other plays like My Fair Lady made the writing process very easy and natural.”

Musical Director Don Adkins then orchestrated the score: “Because the styles are different, I didn’t have to worry about differentiating songs so that they don’t all sound the same, which is a challenge inherent to most musicals.” According to Adkins, if there’s one thing that fans of the original should know, it’s that the opening scene includes a gospel choir of angels.

“This isn’t your traditional musical,” he says.

The modernization of this classic film is a tribute to its timeless message. Fans of Capra’s screenplay will recognize iconic scenes from the film, and according to Perri, the story is “still about how life shouldn’t be a search for fame and fortune, but about finding happiness in family and community and helping those around you.”

B Bicycle Trip – Campbell Steers 1001 Soquel Ave. 5pm-9pm

107 Elm Street. 6p-9p “High Strung” is the title that Santa Cruz favorite Daniella Woolf has given C to her h show featured at the Felix Kulpa Gallery Galler this month. Does it refer to the medium of papers, bound, stitched and otherwise held together and suspended by threads and strings? Does it reference the meticulous effort and detail put into achieving even the apparent disorder in her work?

Cycle over to midtown for a celebration of the bike. The striking prints of Campbell Steers provide an artistic foundation to a fun evening of food, beer, product demos and a movie foo screening from Blackburn about bicycle scree touring.

FEATURES First Friday Lessons on Saving and Spending: Now that daylight is being saved, plan on spending a fun evening of art appreciation. Save some energy because the fun will be going into the evening with great events like the legendary Cruzio Open House, Nora’s rolling red representation of North Coast magic, the best kept secret in Felton and all your favorite spots. Don’t spend all your fun in one place.

MUSIC

I STARTED AN OAK Nicholas Sanborn’s Made of Oak plays the Catalyst on Friday, Nov. 6.

Computer Made

E

lectronic music was originally defined by its adherence to computers and synths, but now the genre is so much more complex and nuanced that when it comes to understanding the music, the hardware is useless.

What’s more important now is the response it evokes.

Made of Oak’s music, for instance, would be categorized as moody, contemplative instrumental music, as opposed to, say, mindless fistpumping dance music at the other end of the electronic spectrum. It’s almost beside the point that sole

member Nicholas Sanborn even uses computers. His music is gorgeous, dynamic and surreal.

Made of Oak will release its debut EP, Penumbra, on Nov. 6, but some may already be familiar with Sanborn from his electropop duo Sylvan Esso, which also occupies that same territory of emotive electronic music that you can technically dance to, but probably wouldn’t. Sylvan Esso features singer Amelia Meath, who was already well-known going into the project as part of Americana group Mountain Man. Her ethereal

voice draws out the melancholy undertones of the music, as she easily connects the dots between her contemplative Appalachian folk band and the synth loops and computer beats of Sylvan Esso.

Sanborn, for that project, keeps his production sparse, allowing listeners to focus instead on Meath.

Made of Oak, on the other hand, is entirely different. It isn’t about how he can make a machine sound human—Kraftwerk already did that 40 years ago. It’s about his subtle blending of organic and synthetic instruments into a single cohesive

INFO: 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. catalystclub. com, 429-4135.

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

Made of Oak’s emotive sound pushes the evolution of electronic music BY AARON CARNES

collage of sounds. I’m not even sure what instruments he’s using.

There are times when it sounds like acoustic guitars and Casio keyboards are mixed in with the drum machines and computer noises, but I can’t tell because he mixes it all into layers of mutating sounds, with audio textures shifting all around as each song progresses.

The cover of the record is a dark image of two sweat-glistening hands holding each other in a stoic but passionate embrace. It’s an image that is all over the teaser video for the track “Pinebender,” along with several other closeups of equally sweaty body parts.

It seems very intentional that the imagery for the song is so organic. Yet these close-ups with no discernable narrative or context come off as distant and in a way lacking humanity. This seems to tap into the deeper contradiction of Penumbra. As much as the computer sounds mimic something organic and emotive, the overall combined mix is also ambient and tranceinducing, almost tapping into the cold facets of humanity, and interpreting them musically.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a strong record. Despite this being his debut solo EP, and though even his primary group Sylvan Esso is a relatively new group, Sanborn has been active for much longer outside of the spotlight, producing and playing backing instruments for groups like Decibully, Megafaun, and Highlights. His musicianship is confident, and his grasp on layering and mixing is subtle, and, at moments, astounding.

None of this is necessary to enjoy the music. Whatever his intention with the record is, and regardless of whether or not there’s a deeper meaning, Sanborn has crafted an exceptional EP with a running time of just 20 minutes that will make the perfect accompaniment to a chill evening in your living room, or a (not so) long drive at night when you have a little thinking to do.

WEDNESDAY 11/11 THAD BECKMAN AT UGLY MUG In honor of Veterans Day, Thad Beckman performs his song “A Soldier Returns Home” off his new album Streets of Disaster on Wednesday at the Ugly Mug. Beckman, a veteran himself, has entertained on the Late Night with David Letterman, festivals, clubs, and theaters across the U.S., Canada, and Europe over the past three decades. John T. Davis of the Austin American Statesman describes Beckman’s music as, “A voice that rasps like shoe leather on roadside gravel, and a finger-picked guitar on which notes fly by like railroad ties under a fastmoving freight.” Beckman splits his time between writing new songs and teaching guitar and songwriting; he’s worked with Tom Russell, Earl Thomas and Bo Diddley, sharing the stage with Albert Collins, Dan Hicks, and B.B. King.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND ARROWS

“I haven’t heard a Santa Cruz band that has the sound we’re putting out,” says Isaac Romero, front man for the postpunk, dance rock band Arrows.

“But it doesn’t matter. We’ve played a few shows with all metal bands and had a great reception.”

Normally this might sound like the regular boasting of musicians, but with these post-punk dance rockers, it’s genuine and deserved. Consisting of Romero on guitar and vocals, Ricky Rivera on guitar, Ryan Chew on bass, and drummer Jesse Flores, their stripped-down, laid-back demeanor matches the band’s raw sound.

Formed only a year and a half ago, Arrows has already hit the streets hard. Their dedicated ambition and constant gigging has built a name for themselves around town, and they recently headlined one of the venues for the Santa Cruz Music Festival.

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

“The reception has been pretty good,” Romero says.

48

Two months ago, the quartet released their self-titled debut; a seven-track EP as hauntingly visceral as it is catchy.

With driving bass lines and celestial melodies, Arrows combine the postpunk aesthetic a la Joy Division, the Cure, and Interpol with lonesome beach symbolism, creating a sound that clearly represents a gray day in our city by the sea.

“Santa Cruz has definitely influenced the imagery of Arrows,” Chew says.

While the vinyl 7-inch single for their song “Richon,” a dark and poppy number about Romero’s longtime girlfriend, probably won’t come out until sometime next year, you can check out Arrows on Sunday, Nov. 8 at the Crepe Place as they hit the stage with Portland act Yaquina Bay and local prog-psych rockers Night Dive.

DANDY WARHOLS

THURSDAY 11/5 ALT-ROCK

DANDY WARHOLS Portland’s Dandy Warhols have maintained a relatively low-key existence the past decade. In 2004 they, along with the Brian Jonestown Massacre, were the subjects of the excellent rockumentary DiG! At the same time, the Dandy Warhols were all over alt-radio, and 2003’s Welcome To The Monkey House remains a brilliant, moody, subtly emotive record. Despite less mainstream interest, the group has forged ahead with several studio albums and consistently successful tours because they are still doing what they always have: making incredible psych-pop records. Their latest record, 2012’s This Machine is a more stripped-down version of their sound, but still dynamic.

AARON CARNES

INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 11/6 AMERICANA

THE SAM CHASE With his gravelly voice and rab-

ble-rousing abilities, the Sam Chase is one of the most exciting acts on the Bay Area Americana scene. The San Francisco-based frontman/bandleader of the same name and his ace ensemble combine the energy of punk with timeless styles and relatable topics covering love, redemption, joy, and hard drinking. As Chase sings in “I Sold My Soul to the City,” “If this whiskey and women don’t kill me, I am certain/That it’s pretty clear that I will never die.” Also on the bill: San Francisco soul and roots band West Coast Wildfire. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 603-2294.

REGGAE

PURE ROOTS Since 2007, Pure Roots has delivered the finest in local reggae, bypassing any filler and going straight to the source with original numbers. Their love-filled lyrics are carried by a horn section that just won’t quit. And how could it? For years Pure Roots has served as the backing band for a number of reggae artists like Andrew Reid (son of legendary Junior Reid) and Earl Zero. Their new lead singer, Larry Quintero, adds an element

that’s sure to take you higher this weekend as they perform with the Santa Cruz Reggae All-Stars. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-1854.

SATURDAY 11/7 DREAM-POP

WIDOWSPEAK Brooklyn group Widowspeak formed in 2010. By 2011, they were signed to Captured Tracks and getting their healthy share of blog buzz. They’ve never re-invented the indie-rock wheel, but have taken elements like classic American folk, psychedelic rock and ’80s shoegaze and created a sound that was familiar, surreal and fresh all in one. Their latest record, 2015’s All Yours bucks this trend somewhat, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s simpler, more folk-rock oriented, and arguably more contemporary-sounding album. There’s still an ethereal quality to Molly Hamilton’s melodies, but they seem much more grounded in a 2015 sensibility. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

RICHARD THOMPSON TRIO Since beginning his career in the late ’60s, Richard Thompson has had his occasional brushes with fame, but has effectively stayed out of the spotlight most of the time. This has afforded him a lot of flexibility, and less devotion to nostalgia. He’s been a folk singer, an alt-rocker, a power trio and arguably his best period, as part of the melancholy duo Richard and Linda Thompson. Thompson is currently touring with the Richard Thompson Trio, which leans in the power-trio realm. His newest album, Still, is a brilliant, reflective, tattered folk-rock record that was produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy.

Sherry Austin and Henhouse is a favorite of local folk and roots appreciators.

A veritable all-star group featuring Austin on rhythm guitar and vocals, Sharon Allen on vocals and guitar, Tracy Parker on bass and vocals, Jim Norris on percussion, and Patti Maxine—who is a must-see local legend—on lap steel and dobro, Henhouse keeps it low-key, playing here and there every now and again (though the band does have a standing gig at the Davenport Roadhouse). So, if it’s been too long or if you haven’t yet seen the Henhouse live, you can catch them Saturday at the Ugly Mug. CJ

this month, it’ll be riddled with a list of “who’s who” artists like Kendrick Lamar, DJ Mustard, Wiz Khalifa, Fetty Wrap, E-40 and more. Anyone who’s been following his Beach House and Sign Language mixtape series already knows Ty Dolla $ign is getting ready to be cemented into the modern hip-hop structure. MW

In 1977, a little-known punk band named the Misfits recorded their debut album, Static Age. Unable to find a record label to release it, the band didn’t give the album a proper release until 1997— after they had long-since established themselves as legends of the horror punk scene. On Nov. 16, the Misfits hit the Catalyst to perform Static Age in its entirety, complete with video monitor backdrops orchestrated by founding bassist (and now vocalist, taking over the role originally filled by Danzig) Jerry Only. Word is, the band will also play a full set of “fiendish favorites” from the last 30-plus years. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

OPPOSING FORCES Billy Bob Thornton and Sandra Bullock play campaign managers for opposing Bolivian presidential candidates in David Gordon Green’s ‘Our Brand Is Crisis.’

Hard Sell Winning is everything in uneven ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’ BY LISA JENSEN reminiscent of a movie from a few decades back, Under Fire, in which wisecracking American journalists gradually become radicalized by events they’re reporting on in South America. But Crisis is more problematic in that its jaded protagonists, campaign veterans imported from the States to work for opposing presidential candidates in Bolivia, are orchestrating events themselves, according to their own agendas. Consequences be damned; it’s all about the win.

Sandra Bullock stars as the fictional “Calamity” Jane Bodine, once a hotshot campaign strategist whose take-no-prisoners methods led to her professional ruin and bouts of depression. She’s retired to a mountain retreat to make pottery and lick her wounds until she’s lured back into the fray by former

colleague, Nell (Ann Dowd), and her cohort, Ben (Anthony Mackie), who have been hired for mucho dinero by a Bolivian presidential candidate.

Jane doesn’t care about the money, but she can’t resist one more chance to duke it out with her nemesis, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), campaign manager for an opposing candidate who’s the front-runner.

Jane is both lethargic and buffoony at first, stumbling down the ramp from the plane like Chevy Chase doing Gerald Ford, sucking oxygen from a tank, and throwing up in wastebaskets because of the altitude.

Worse, she glumly tells Nell that their candidate, slick businessman Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida), disliked and mistrusted by the people, is “not a winner.” But after an encounter with silky sidewinder Candy, she’s suddenly energized,

OUR BRAND IS CRISIS **1/2 (out of four) With Sandra Bullock, Billy Bob Thornton, and Anthony Mackie. Written by Peter Straughan.

Directed by David Gordon Green. A Warner Bros. release. Rated R. 107 minutes.

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

I

n politics, as in so many other aspects of modern culture, it’s all about salesmanship.

Questions of governance, leadership and morality are all trampled underfoot in the rush to sell a bill of goods to the voting public. Everything hinges on perceived (not actual) value, or villainy, but the difference between voting for a politician, and, say, buying a car, is that the stakes are so much higher; the consequences can be global, if the politician is powerful enough.

This ought to be obvious, but it seems to be a surprise to the characters in Our Brand Is Crisis, a fact-based drama about American advertising geniuses-for-hire meddling in international politics.

Directed by David Gordon Green, from a script by Peter Straughan, it’s

and comes on like Don Draper with a brilliant strategy: if Castillo can’t be lovable, they’ll sell the buzzword “crisis.” Bolivia is in crisis, and Castillo is the tough guy to solve it.

But as more unsavory details of Castillo’s personal and political lives become apparent, we start to wonder: if this guy is such a jerk, why are these people working for him? Because he’s paying them, of course, and the movie wants you to feel the soullessness of that rationale. (There’s a reason we see Jane reading “Faust” in one scene.)

But there is no corresponding character to root for, no one whose soul seems to be in jeopardy. They’re all political hacks, especially Jane.

That she’s both tough and fragile doesn’t make us care any more about her. There’s nothing of herself that seems to be at risk.

Interesting that while Thornton’s character has the shaved head and Southern-fried demeanor of real-life political consultant James Carville (whose misadventures in the 2002 Bolivian presidential campaign inspired the 2005 documentary also called Our Brand Is Crisis, which inspired this film), it’s Jane who’s the surrogate Carville figure. (The part was originally written for a man.) And while the film’s closing scenes make dramatic sense as a last grasp for redemption, it all rings a bit hollow, since there’s no evidence that any of the actual participants ever experienced such an epiphany.

Of course, these are fictional characters (including the presidential candidates, given pseudonyms here, for obvious reasons), so the filmmakers can do whatever they like with them.

But the idealized finale never quite pulls the movie out of its nosedive into blatant (and finally mundane) amorality. Waffling between satire, drama and slapstick (like a supremely stupid scene where two campaign buses drag race along a steep cliffside road), Crisis never quite finds a consistent tone. And Jane is too remote for too long to function as a satisfying heroine.

SUFFRAGETTE “All my life I’ve been respectful, done what men have told me—well I can’t have that any more,” says Maud Watts, an almost reluctant suffragette who stumbles upon the underground women's movement in England in the late 19th century. Cornered by men at every turn, these foot soldiers of the early feminist movement risked everything to gain the right to vote—suffering oppression at work, brutality in the streets, humiliation by their peers, ostracization from their families and children, imprisonment by the police, and in some cases, even death. Sarah Gavron directs. Carey Mulligan, AnneMarie Duff, Helena Bonham Carter co-star. (Pg-13) 106 minutes.

With the world teetering on the brink of Mutually Assured Destruction, the entire course of the Cold War depended on getting that CIA agent back on U.S. soil.

(PG) 103 minutes.

HE NAMED ME MALALA Malala Yousafzai is still a teenager, but it’s possible to look at her life story and not be amazed—she’s a goofball who can do card tricks, she laughs at herself, but she’s also the young Pakistani girl who was shot in the head for taking a stand against the Taliban. Her wisdom and her courage

Based on the 2005 documentary of the same name, the film follows the events which quickly take Jane’s fight out of the realm of pure politics when the country starts to disintegrate into war and chaos.

(R) 107 minutes.

THE MARTIAN Astronaut Mark Watney is left stranded on Mars after a storm hits and he’s presumed dead—but somehow, he maintains a pretty positive outlook on the whole thing, despite the fact that he only has enough food for 50 days, the terrain isn’t suited for agriculture, and it’ll take four years to get a message back to Earth. There are, of course, complications with attempts to rescue Watney but with such a stellar cast (can you say Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover a.k.a Childish Gambino?) we don’t even care if he dies at the end. Note: we have no idea if he dies at the end. Ridley Scott directs.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION For the crazy kids who weren’t freaked out enough by the handful of other Paranormal Activity films, here’s one about a family that has to protect their daughter from an evil entity using a special camera that can see spirits.

SICARIO Emily Blunt is like the way cooler, less smiley version of Anne Hathaway. She’s British and she cries less. She can sing, play Queen Victoria, that super badass chick in Edge of Tomorrow, and everything in between.

Brand New Kitchen

58

Lillian’s gets ready to expand, plus lunch at Mozaic and a garlic-growing workshop at UCSC’s Farm BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

was on my way to Shopper’s Corner when I saw the sign in the window at the corner of Soquel and Seabright avenues. I grinned.

What a great idea! A neighborhood favorite is about to expand in every way. Yes, it’s true. Lillian’s Italian Kitchen has begun making its next move—don’t worry, it’s just down the street—to the historic Ebert’s building most recently occupied by Jerry’s Sports. I’ll admit that I don’t dine at Lillian’s as much as I’d like to. I have two good reasons. The first is that it takes me forever to get

from the Westside to the Eastside of Santa Cruz these days. You know what I’m talking about. The other reason is that Lillian’s is always packed. OK, that’s not much of an excuse. But, traffic aside, I plan to be among the very first to check out Lillian’s new dining home. Here’s what we know so far, thanks to the proprietors: “We are very excited to get more space and still be in the neighborhood, which was our goal,” they told me. “We are targeting mid-to-late February for the move, but that really all depends on how

construction moves along.” Got that? And so far, the kitchen has not settled on any new menu items, but renovation has already begun.

In mid February 2016—that’s when the moon will hit your eye like a big you know what. For now, Lillian’s— located at 1116 Soquel Ave.—opens at 4 p.m. for dinner, Monday-Saturday.

Check the restaurant’s Facebook page for developments.

GET WRAPPED AT MOZAIC The menu at the new downtown restaurant at 110 Church St. is more

broadly Mediterranean-themed than I had expected. Sure, there are plenty of Greek classics, such as a terrific Greek salad, tzatziki, moussaka, and lamb kabobs, but the menu visits also the Middle East via Lebanon, Turkey, Italy, and Jordan.

We scored two clear lunch hits last week at Mozaic. A hint of tahini and garlic-inflected sour cream, tomatoes and crisp romaine, plus fat wedges of grilled chicken breast filled the enormous interior of my chicken shawarma wrap. The delicious ingredients were packed into two huge lavash wraps, grilled like a panini, and sided with crisp french fries. This was a meal for two—a big meal for two—for $12.

My companion couldn’t even think about finishing the second half of his kofta kebab wrap ($13) which came with one of those very sprightly Greek salads—lots of crisp romaine, feta cheese, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These were major lunch bargains as far as I’m concerned.

I would have loved to have more spices, more flavor firepower—but I’m guessing many Mozaic patrons prefer less assertive spicing. The portions were almost ridiculously huge, but what that means is that Mozaic is now an obvious downtown lunch destination. Get on over there and see what I’m talking about.

GROWING THE STINKING ROSE Join the incomparable Orin Martin, manager of UCSC’s Alan Chadwick Garden, and farmer Pete Rasmussen of Sandhill Farms of Utah, as they teach you how to select, plant, care for, and harvest a seriously tasty garlic crop. The workshop happens up at the UCSC Farm, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7. Every question you can think of about growing garlic will be answered, including which varieties work best, details of soil prep, fertilizer, harvest, and storage tips. And, yes, in addition to expert advice, the event will have seed and culinary garlic for sale. $30 pre-reg/$40 at the door. $20 for Friends/$15 for UCSC students.

J

amaican food has finally made its way into the Santa Cruz dining scene, thanks to Tattoo Omen owner Tim Buonagurio and Aaron Bistrin, who opened Jerk House on Oct. 23. Jerk chicken is, of course, the staple dish, but we spoke with Buonagurio about what else the Jerk House has to offer.

No goat curry?

What can you tell Santa Cruzans about Jamaican food?

I think our ambience is amazing. I wanted you to come in and be taken away with the smell, the taste, the sounds, the feel, everything.

I think we accomplished that. We have an open kitchen, a Jamaican shack with a corrugated roof.

We have a 1955 wind sailboat, which we turned into what we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shipwrecked Bar.â&#x20AC;? All of our tables are made from naturally fallen wood. We cut it, it has the natural bark on it. Almost 85 percent of our restaurant is recycled wood.

TIM BUONAGURIO: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very bold, spicy and healthy. Mostly thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of warmth and a little bit of cool. We make a tropical cucumber salad, with cucumbers, a little bit of red onion, mango and jicama. We have that on every plate. We also have sweet plantains that go with it.

How are you doing jerk chicken?

I really wanted to keep it traditional.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain way to do traditional jerk chicken. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dry rub. We do that, but we do change it up some with a sweet glaze. Jerk is usually pretty spicy. We put that sweet glaze on it to give it a little bit of a twist. Trying to give it a little bit of a flair, but for the most part, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not broke, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it.

No, but we will be having goat curry soon. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also going to get oxtail. Oxtail soup is a pretty big staple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at that as well.

What kind of ambience did you want to create to fit the cuisine?

Do you play Jamaican music at Jerk House?

Yes. All day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to hear country here, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.

2013 RosĂŠ is exotic sparkler BY JOSIE COWDEN

A

family trip to the Gold Country in mid-October included a birthday celebration. And what better way to celebrate another trip around the sun than with a bit of bubbly? In this case Byington Vineyard & Wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 Pinot Noir Sparkling RosĂŠ ($39).

Produced in the mĂŠthode Champenoise style, this exotic sparkler is an absolutely gorgeous rosĂŠ with nuances of wild strawberry and Bing cherry that pairs well with lighter foods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the bottle to crack open as you sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthday.â&#x20AC;? Six of us had taken an abundance of lovely hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and easily demolished all the Sparkling RosĂŠ before dinner.

To increase the dry sparkling wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mystique, 25 ml of Santa Cruz Mountains late-harvest wine was added after the bottle fermentation was completeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and then fortified with Pinot Noir brandy.

Santa Cruz native Andrew Brenkwitz is the dedicated winemaker we have to thank for all the good varietals produced at Byington. And although the winery changed hands in 2013 from the original Byington owners, what has not changed is the wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to detail and their great wines.

+ RISAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS BY RISA Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ANGELES DIWALI: FESTIVAL OF LIGHT OVER DARKNESS Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 4, 2015 Wednesday is quiet. Thursday is transformative, surprising. Friday is detailed. Saturday, we seek balance. Sunday we remember to love more. Monday, wounds appear. Tuesday, we communicate about those wounds. Wednesday (a three-fold festival day) is Veterans Day (our gratitude to those who suffer in the wars for our freedoms), the Scorpio new moon festival (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let maya flourish and deception ruleâ&#x20AC;?) and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights (as the monsoons end and a new fiscal year begins).

The word Diwali, or Divali, is Sanskrit for â&#x20AC;&#x153;rows of lamps or lights.â&#x20AC;? Diwali, a bright, happy autumn festival in India, is celebrated on the darkest, new moon night of the Lunisolar Hindu calendar. The festival signifies â&#x20AC;&#x153;victory of the light, good over evil.â&#x20AC;?

Diwali lamps (diyas) and candles are lit at night inside and outside homes. The diyad symbolically represent parts of the Sun, cosmic giver of light and energy for

ARIES Mar21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Apr20 Although thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impelling need to have more romance, you realize the need to be less â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state of passionâ&#x20AC;? and more in a state of consistent and unceasing intimacy. This may be difficult for you. However, a fresh new way of seeing relationships appears. Seek to learn cooperative communication and compassion with others. Bring love to all daily work. Love more in all relationships. You are learning how.

TAURUS Apr21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May21 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to assess all resources, learn their value and then safeguard what is valuable. The rest, give away or sell.

Difficult or sensitive issues may come up for discussion.

Usually you are secretive. However, secrecy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustain you. Communication with others about needs, present and future, brings assistance. A boundary between the past and present/future needs to be created.

GEMINI May 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20 Has tending to money and resources become too serious a subject? Do you feel restricted with a relationship? Or is it commitment that is coming forth? Are you too busy at work to provide enough time for needed intimacy? Are you feeling content or discontent? Create more harmony by tidying up thoughts, all workplaces, extending cooperation and focused time with loved ones. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing?

CANCER Jun21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jul20

LE0 Jul21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug22 As we grow older, family becomes more important. Both your family of origin and the family (and friends) you have created in your present life are vital to well-being. Being connected and in contact with family near and far releases the potency of love in Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. As bonds strengthen, a greater sense of belonging emerges. Then understanding and forgiveness begin to comfort you. Stay connected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contact releases love.â&#x20AC;?

VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22 Are you seeking to escape daily life, travel somewhere far away from daily responsibilities, or perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going home to visit family and friends? What are the ideals youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeking to define? What tests and trials are you experiencing? Are you attempting a redesign of your home on minimalist standards? Are you in a state of migration (physical, emotional or mental)? Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expanding.

LIBRA Sep23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct22 Your foundation of self is transforming. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become

more serious and responsible. Daily life continues to change by the hour. Creativity helps heal a recent illness, fall, break and/or wound. Your heart seeks the mother. Mothers are Ceres. You may feel underground. Eat pomegranates. Only nature, gardens, mother and right relations with everyone bring the balance your heart needs.

CAPRICORN Dec21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan20 Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re practical and realistic, always using common sense. In the midst of these pragmatic virtues rest hopes, wishes, interests, and dreams for the future. How often do you gaze into the night sky and make a wish?

How often do you pray or believe your wishes, dreams and hopes will come true? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we believe what we hope for will come true. When you do what you love and believe in, everything comes true.

AQUARIUS Jan21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18 Vision has taken hold of your mind and heart and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing things you thought impossible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important to visualize your future, visualize dreams and goals. They guide your actions by visualizing your dreams anchoring on Earth. Ask yourself what you truly want and need. Draw, paint, talk about, share these things. Your happiness is how you assist humanity. Your many gifts make a difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Name (write down, ponder upon) and recognize all of them.

Daily. Like a mantra.

PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20 You continue to reflect on values and relationships, likes and dislikes, hopes, wishes and dreams. You consider your relationship to money, wealth and resources, understanding why you value certain things. Often youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been forced to detach from things in your life.

This has been difficult. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to forgive yourself and others so that old attachments, memories and aversions fall away and a new life direction comes forth.

You will be surprised.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take time alone, to rest each day in conscious moments of solitude to keep your sense of self intact. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to take needed vitamins and minerals to maintain physical, emotional and mental strength. Love may feel more hidden than usual. Being quiet and unseen is good sometimes. Then there are times to shine brighter than others. Do you confide in anyone?

Revelatory thoughts stream through your mind creating a constant state of inner enlightenment. You realize that even though you enjoy being out and about, more important is being with your own self, which is enough interesting company. You think profoundly about yourself.

Scorpio always needs to understand the self first. Venus offers deep solitude, contemplation, concentration, and stillness made just for you. Just for a while.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tending and nurturing family and those you love, including the animal and plant kingdoms. You feel a new sense of creativity beginning to emerge in daily life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to find yourself in one or more of the artsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;literature, painting, art history, music, dance, film, design, or gardening. As you nurture the many kingdoms, you are cared for and nurtured in return. Schedule each day carefully.

all life on Earth. Families pray (puja) together invoking Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity. Sweets (mithai) are eaten, gifts are exchanged. Stories are told of the ancient battles of good and evil, light and darkness, gods battling dark forces.

Fireworks light up the skies. Celebrated by many different religious sects in India, Diwaliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential message is victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair, harmony over chaos, recognizing the spiritual inner light (Soul) over material darkness (the personality). Diwali is also a festival of peace, of kindness, goodness and goodwill.

It is said that soldiers at the Indian and Pakistani borders put down their guns to share sweets with each other during Diwali. Creating, during war, brotherly gestures of goodwill. May we do the same with those we consider our enemies. May Diwali help us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;love more.â&#x20AC;?

OUR 77 T H YEA R

Occupation: Industrial food broker, Riddell Sales Hobbies: Horseback riding, reading, cooking, travel Astrological Sign: Capricorn What do you like to cook? I do it all but I do lean more towards Mediterranean. I just learned how to make paella. The recipe called for a special rice which I got from Shopper’s, along with all the other ingredients. I make a really good crab cioppino. I get a lot of fish from Shopper’s; they and Stagnaro’s are the only stores I trust for seafood. I’m really picky. And the meat: oh my goodness — they’re the best! I use a lot of Shopper’s rib steaks and lamb, their meatloaf, and more. The butchers are so helpful and always provide good service. My pot roast always came out like leather until a butcher here told me how to cook it and at what temp, and for how long. It tasted amazing!

You prefer shopping local? Absolutely.

Shopper’s is intimate, warm and cozy. Who wants to shop in a gi-normous chain store? You get lost. Here, not only does my money go to a family-run market but also to local farmers and vendors who supply the store with strawberries, pies, and apples, dry-farmed tomatoes and roma beans, plus the breads, coffees, and eggs.

Speaking of produce, they have a wide selection of organic and conventional items and they’re always fresh, not dry or wilting.

It’s like going to a farmers market. The produce is gorgeous, it almost looks like a painting! I really love this store.

How so? I love everything about it. The wooden floors, the customer service — you never have to wait long because most of the check stands are always open, plus the people are very friendly and helpful. Shopper’s has the most unique specialty products; they always seem to have what you need, including a great wine department. It’s onestop shopping — it’s like going to Disneyland!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I’ll get my Diestel turkey here, all the fixings, plus the ingredients for making my own dressing and pumpkin pies. I enjoy shopping here during the holidays. There’re usually school kids and other non-profit groups set up outside selling pies and goodies. I like that Shopper’s allows that.

“Shopper’s has the most unique specialty products. It’s one-stop shopping — it’s like going to Disneyland!”
