OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Last week’s cover story about Lighthouse Field touched off a huge response, not only from locals who had their own perspectives on and solutions to the problems there, but also from those who wanted to comment on Santa Cruz’s legacy as an eco-conscious city, and where that reputation originated.

This week’s Green Issue touches on many of the same questions about our community’s role in protecting the ecosystem we live in. For me, the irony of Maria Grusauskas’ cover story is that when I was a student at UCSC in the ’90s, “tree hugger” was just coming into its own as the

popular buzzword for anyone who wanted to dismiss the environmental concerns of activists at the university and beyond. It’s bizarre now to think that the idea of caring about the fate of one of our planet’s most important ecological resources was (and I suppose still is, in some circles) somehow supposed to be bad.

Back to the irony: we haven’t been tree hugging enough. As the story reveals, many of our oldest trees aren’t as protected as we think, and our urban canopy faces some serious threats—which even the people who care most about the heritage trees in our community feel they have little power to protect them from.

I hope this story spurs the same kind of discussion and action that last week’s did about an environmental issue that has even bigger ramifications.

Re: “Field Goals” (GT, 7/6): Your article on Lighthouse Field overlooked an obvious solution to the problem: reinstate the traditional hours for off-leash recreation, before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. Prior to 2007, illegal camping was much less an issue at the field for one simple reason: off-leash dogs found the encampments and ate the campers’ lunch.

Since 2007, our organization of responsible dog owners, Friends of Lighthouse Field, has campaigned to restore local control and multiuse to the field and adjacent Its Beach. FOLF has also arranged the repair of the crumbling cement steps leading down to the beach, at no cost to the city or state; successfully lobbied the city to install a dog bag receptacle at the top of the stairs (which we refill weekly); and joined Save Our Shores and Take Back Santa Cruz to clean up both the beach and the field (where we have discovered not only illegal camps, but also needles, drugs, and 9mm ammunition). Returning off-leash hours to Lighthouse Field and Its Beach is an idea whose time has come. Again.

HOSTS WITH THE MOST Re: “Park Rangers Coming Downtown”: As one of the many residents living on

Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz, I’d like to say thanks to Callie West and the other “downtown hosts.” In my own experience, they have been very helpful.

I do look forward to the presence of park rangers, whom I’m hoping will be able to curtail the ongoing hazards of people riding bicycles and skateboards on Pacific Avenue sidewalks.

As a disabled senior, I’ve been struck twice by bicycles on the sidewalk. My next-door neighbor—a 74-year-old with impaired sight and hearing and using a walker—has been hit twice and knocked over within a block of our residence.

If people aren’t aware, there are ordinances against any self-propelled vehicle operating on the sidewalks (excepting wheelchairs), and the fine can be onerous (as well as the possibility of confiscation of the device).

In any case, thanks to the downtown hosts, and welcome rangers.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Upcoming adventures might make you more manly if you are a woman. If you are a man, the coming escapades could make you more womanly. How about if you’re trans? Odds are that you’ll become even more gender fluid. I am exaggerating a bit, of course. The transformations I’m referring to may not be visible to casual observers. They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche. But they won’t be merely symbolic, either.

There’ll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.

The latest Free Will Astrology poll shows that thirty-three percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirty-eight percent disapprove, eighteen percent remain undecided, and eleven percent wish you would grab for even greater glory. As for me, I’m aligned with the eleven-percent minority.

Here’s what I say: Don’t allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 I’ll name five heroic tasks you will have more than enough power to accomplish in the next eight months. 1. Turning an adversary into an ally. 2. Converting a debilitating obsession into a empowering passion. 3. Transforming an obstacle into a motivator. 4. Discovering small treasures in the midst of junk and decay. 5. Using the unsolved riddles of childhood to create a living shrine to eternal youth.

6. Gathering a slew of new freedom songs, learning them by heart, and singing them regularly—especially when habitual fears rise up in you.

GEMINI May21–June20 Your life has resemblances to a jigsaw puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table. Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn’t have to be a problem. I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments. At the end, when you’re finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture’s not complete. But that would be illogical perfectionism.

Ninety-seven-percent success will be just fine.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 If you are smoothly attuned with the cosmic rhythms and finely aligned with your unconscious wisdom, you could wake up one morning and find that a mental block has miraculously crumbled, instantly raising your intelligence. If you can find it in your proud heart to surrender to “God,” your weirdest dilemma will get at least partially solved during a magical three-hour interlude. And if you are able to forgive 50 percent of the wrongs that have been done to you in the last six years, you will no longer feel like you’re running into a strong wind, but rather you’ll feel like the beneficiary of a strong wind blowing in the same direction you’re headed.

How often have you visited hell or the suburbs of hell during the last few weeks? According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount.

You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your new-found wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 My friend Athena works as a masseuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she’s in top form.

You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo. Even if you don’t work as a massage therapist, I think it’s possible you’ll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing, and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter. In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, “You have my permission to drool freely.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You are at the pinnacle of your powers to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose self-knowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak. As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me. Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Here’s the deal: I will confess a dark secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours. Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt. What’s even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. OK. It’s your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won’t judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 What do you want to be when you grow up, Capricorn?

What? You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that’s your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now. I’ll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe some parts of you are not in fact fully mature; that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper—an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: “How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul’s code?”

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 On a summer day 20 years ago, I took my 5-year-old daughter Zoe and her friend Max to the merry-go-round in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn’t seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze was fixed on the floor in front of it.

As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said.

Not glamorous enough. “But I’m sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else,” I replied. Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Early on in our work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she works only with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work. But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she’s not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can’t be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective, and am inclined to make it more universal. Isn’t it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle? Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most? I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.

OPINION

<4

when he and I were county supervisors (he for Santa Cruz County, I for San Luis Obispo), but I want to remind readers that the environmental community began stirring in Santa Cruz in the late ’60s, early ’70s, by citing these two examples: After an uproar of protests, a proposed nuclear power plant, to be built south of Davenport, was permanently shelved in 1971 and never seriously raised again. That same year, after a similar campaign against the state’s plan to expand Highway 17 into a commute corridor, the state removed that highway and those plans from the Freeway System, saving the

coast from major developmental pressures from the Santa Clara Valley. Both campaigns were led by a group of local citizens working for an organization called Santa Cruz County Council on the Environment (which I had the privilege of chairing in ’70-’71), and without these victories, Santa Cruz County and the coast would look dramatically different today—and not for the better.

And Gary Patton still had a lot of work to do during his 20 years in office in the neverending battle to save the sense of place of Santa Cruz County and the coast.

WELLNESS

ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER Anti-shampooers suggest alternatives to harsh chemicals, like baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

Lathered Up A growing ‘No Poo’ movement questions our dependence on harsh chemicals to clean our hair BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE using it began to spread. It was at first thought of as a “treat yourself” kind of pampered experience that one might do a couple of times a month, at most, somewhat like a modern-day trip to the salon. But a major tipping point moment came in 1927 with the invention of commercially available liquid shampoo, and by the 1970s it had become a ubiquitous daily-use household item in America.

But according to No Pooers, whose presence has become known through blogs and active online forums like nopoomethod.com, we’ve taken the practice too far, and it’s time to get back to our roots. Shampoo may not only be unnecessary, they say, it might also be harmful to the environment

and to our bodies. Not only are the bottles made of plastic which contribute to plastic pollution, many of the chemicals in shampoo, like sodium lauryl and laureth sulfate and chemical preservatives like parabens, may not be effectively treated by waste management technology and could make it into our groundwater, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some also believe these same chemicals can lead to skin problems, organ damage, and perhaps even cancer.

Many dermatologists and hair-care professionals have been lathered up for years about our overuse of shampoo and have advocated for less frequency. Their claims are centered on the fact that hair follicles produce

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 13-19, 2016

‘W

hy? Because it’s right there in the first part of the word, it’s a sham.” At least that’s what followers of the “No Poo” movement say as to why they choose to eschew shampoo. The No Poo movement is a green trend that’s recently gained popularity and one that may benefit not only the look and health of our hair, but also the environment and our pocketbooks.

The practice of shampooing is thought to have been invented by the Chinese, but the word itself owes its roots to the Hindi language.

Early forms of shampoo were first introduced to Europe from India in the mid-1800s, and the practice of

an oily, waxy substance called sebum that keeps the strands naturally healthy and conditioned. No Poo believers claim that the harsh soaps and chemicals in shampoo strip away natural sebum, leaving the hair dry and damaged. The body’s response to this is to then overproduce more sebum, resulting in greasy and unmanageable hair. The brain’s response to this is to use more shampoo, fueling the vicious cycle.

So then, if No Pooers don’t want to live with dreadlocks for the rest of their lives, how do they wash and manage their hair in an earth- and body-friendly way? The most commonly used non-shampoo alternative is the combination of baking soda and apple cider vinegar.

The baking soda, which should be diluted with water, serves as the cleaning agent, and should be rubbed into the scalp and then rinsed out.

The apple cider vinegar should also be diluted with water, and can be thought of as the conditioner. Other alternatives include certain types of flour and clay, essential oils, egg, honey, beer, and some even find hair-care success using water only.

The hard part when it comes to hair though, is that everyone’s is different. Types and qualities of hair varies widely from person to person, depending on many factors, including hair length, age, gender, ethnicity, and diet. What works for one person might not work for another, and individual trial and error is the best way to figure out which shampoo alternative is most effective.

One thing is for sure though: quitting shampoo can be challenging. Doing so often results in very greasy hair for at least a couple of weeks while the body adjusts and slowly produces less sebum. This is why most No Pooers wean off of shampoo slowly, and many will tell you that if you can stay sober from shampoo during this difficult initial phase, your hair will indeed adjust and start to regain a naturally clean and voluminous look. For some, though, the No Poo method will not prove effective, and the alkaline baking soda and acidic vinegar may cause significant damage to the hair and scalp, especially if not diluted to safe concentrations.

Food trucks push for relaxed regulations as mobile-vending pilot program nears completion BY LILY STOICHEFF

O

n a warm Friday evening last month, Food Trucks A Go Go, a group run by food truck owner Lali Kates, held its first public event in the city of Santa Cruz. Seven mobile vendors—including Kates’ own Aunt LaLi ice cream truck—showed up to San Lorenzo Park to provide alfresco dining for hundreds of hungry locals. Aromas of fresh steaming masa, fried rice and barbecue beckoned strolling passersby toward a line of tents and trucks, while

others relaxed in the beer garden, sipping organic IPA from Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing.

“It was a great first event and a great collaboration,” says Kates. “The food vendors were all very busy.

People started coming after work, and it was really fun to see people coming from all directions, over the bridge and from Water Street.”

For years, organizing an event like this in Santa Cruz had seemed impossible. Since last September, Kates has held numerous food truck

gatherings in Scotts Valley and other cities around the Monterey Bay. “Our events are very successful, and we see a desire among the community to have more events like this,” says Kates of her regular food truck events at Scotts Valley’s Sky Park.

But Santa Cruz’s strict mobilevending laws prohibit parking within 300 feet of a park or school, and limit stops to 15 minutes on public thoroughfares. The laws, which went into effect more than >14 a decade ago, were intended

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 13-19, 2016

Low gas prices have economists arguing about cheap oil’s impact on the economy—good and bad. But few people have been hit harder than those in the renewable energy field, according to Ray Newkirk, co-owner of the Green Station, the only place to get biodiesel in Santa Cruz County.

“Our sales have definitely dipped since the price of petroleum has been so totally low in the past year, year and a half. It was down to $2.09 for diesel for a while, and we’ve generally been around $4.59,” Newkirk says, leaning back in his chair in the dimly lit back end of what was once a 76 gas station. “Right now, we finally got our suppliers to drop their prices for us, but one of them went out of business because they couldn’t hang in there. Our costs are actually fixed. These are real reality-based prices.”

On a scorching Saturday afternoon, we’re sitting in the biodiesel station’s “office,” a narrow shed-like hallway cluttered with bicycles, backpacks, and vials leftover from chemistry tests. Political newspaper cartoons fill the windows of what looks like it was once a mini-convenience store. Outside, one working pump and a few non-operational ones face out toward the intersection of Water and Ocean streets, and a fading red-white-and-blue sign that reads “Bernie 2016.” Newkirk is wearing camouflage cargo shorts and a green T-shirt with trees on it he just threw on. Five minutes ago, he was chasing down a U-Haul truck, shirtless in the parking lot, his long gray, braided ponytail flopping around behind him.

The station serves B99—99 percent biodiesel, one percent petroleum—and it is the fuel of choice for Santa Cruz’s Green Cab taxi.

More than a half decade ago, Newkirk began renting out U-Haul trucks at the site to help cover rent. Still, the Green Station will be lucky if it breaks even this year. “Between biodiesel and U-Haul, we hang on by the skin of our teeth every month. It’s been that way for a lot of years,” says Newkirk, who works as a general contractor on the side, and is studying to be a yoga instructor.

Newkirk says green energy fuels like biodiesel would be much more competitive if it weren’t for the subsidies and other money the feds pour into protecting oil interests each year.

A 2007 report from the National Defense Council Foundation called “The Hidden Cost of Oil,” for instance, found that Americans >16

to protect public spaces from traffic congestion, litter and loitering. But truck owners say they don’t reflect the needs of a growing sector of our food culture. For last month’s event, Kates was able to acquire an event permit through the Parks & Recreation Department in order to circumvent the ordinances.

Responding to an uptick in food truck popularity nationwide, the Santa Cruz City Council passed some exemptions in 2015, loosening regulations for 18 months around Harvey West, San Lorenzo and DeLaveaga parks, as well as downtown on Cooper Street for First Friday—to see if the exemptions might spur mobile vending. The period draws to a close on Sept. 12, when the city council will decide whether to continue the pilot program.

Kates supports the trial exemptions, but says that, with the exception of the Cooper Street location on First Friday, the chosen areas don’t see enough foot traffic to become profitable locations.

“I wouldn’t say that they weren’t helpful, because I want to be encouraging to the positive changes that they’re making and the steps that they’re taking,” she says. “We’ll work with and around whatever is presented by the folks in city council. Baby steps are still movement in the right direction.”

Mobile food vendors are optimistic that the rules will eventually be

relaxed in some form, although no one on the city council could be reached for comment on the issue.

(Pamela Comstock, the only current councilmember who served on a task force tackling the issue, did not respond to repeated emails and voicemails.)

Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager, says the council can see how much the industry has changed since “roach coach days,” when the original laws were put into effect, and everyone has learned from this new trial period. “After looking at communities with healthy food truck industries like San Jose and Portland, they believe that there’s room for something similar in Santa Cruz as well,” says Collins.

Originally, he says, city leaders held an underlying assumption that restaurant owners would not support mobile vending. After a closer look, however, the trend doesn’t seem to pose a threat to brick-and-mortar joints. “Restaurant owners are not really seeing it as competition, but as a way to bring additional people to their area,” says Collins. “It might not be true for everyone, but I think it’s changed quite a bit.”

Zachary Davis—one half of the duo that opened the Penny Ice Creamery, the Picnic Basket, and Assembly— supports relaxing food truck rules.

Their success, he believes, will spill over to other local businesses.

“I think they have a role to play in the food and beverage community in Santa Cruz, and it’s a disservice

to everyone, the level of restriction that’s placed on them right now,” Davis says, citing healthy food truck cultures in Austin, Texas and Portland, Oregon.

“It becomes an attraction for the community,” says Davis. “If it’s something that’s so cool that it’s bringing people in to check it out, it spills over into everything else. If you get a taco for lunch, maybe you want to go to a sit-down place for dinner. Or, if you go to a food truck event in the evening, maybe you want to spend the night in a hotel.”

Davis, also a downtown commissioner, adds that food trucks would not work on Pacific Avenue because parking is already at a premium and they don’t fit along the retail and entertainment corridor.

Of course, getting a small but growing crew of flame-broiling entrepreneurs to agree on the perfect food truck space may be easier said than done. Sensitive to relationships with restaurant owners, most mobile food vendors agree that locations near existing restaurants would be inappropriate. They also generally agree that areas near the coast, like Seabright Beach, would be ideal.

Collins admits that they didn’t receive a great deal of input from the food truck community, and perhaps did not do sufficient outreach— something they plan to change in the next go-around.

“Hearing from those voices is very important,” he says.

NEWS BRIEFS HOOP DREAMS The Santa Cruz Warriors’ front office is abuzz with hopes that they might land the extra-supersized Mamadou N’Diaye, a Senegal native who spent three years at UC Irvine.

Should N’Diaye, who’s listed at 7-foot-6-inches, make it in the NBA, he would

be one of the six tallest players ever to play. He’s playing on the Golden State Warriors’ NBA Summer League team right now, which could give our Santa Cruz team an opportunity to sign him. N’Diaye didn’t see much playing time in his first game in the summer tournament in Las Vegas, but head coach Jarron Collins did put him in

late in the contest to wave his arms around and try to disrupt an inbound pass— always a sound defensive strategy when you have a guy with a wingspan of more than 8 feet.

Meanwhile at City Hall, Santa Cruz’s economic development team is finishing a study on where to build a permanent 3,000-4,000-seat

arena for sports. One idea is to cram it into the current temporary site’s footprint, which is small and not ideal.

Their second-best plan has been putting an arena at Depot Park, a crown jewel for community sports—one that the city spent more than $1 million in repairs to reopen last year. JACOB PIERCE.

pay top dollar for their oil addiction—between troops in the Persian Gulf, lost investment and revenue, and other factors. The report was authored by the late Milton Copulos, a prominent member of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, which was a leading proponent of fiscal conservatism during the Ronald Reagan administration. That “hidden cost” was an extra $825 billion per year, the report found—enough to add an extra $8 onto the price of a gallon of gasoline.

As Newkirk tells it, the story of squeaking by and running a biofuel station is the story of a small band of radicals standing up to moneyed interests and bizarre overregulation.

California’s Division of Measurement Standards, for instance, forced them to spend an extra $8,000 on a standardized pump, even though their previous pumps were working better and lasted longer, he says.

But in order to create a more level playing field for renewable energy, Congress

did pass a $1-per-gallon rebate for biodiesel producers, as long as it contained at least .1 percent petroleum.

“One tenth of one percent was enough to qualify for the tax credit,” Newkirk explains.

“It didn’t do anything for the fuel. Except poison it. But that’s their standard.”

Around the country, fueling stations pump out biodiesel with a range of petroleum and renewables. B2 fuel, for instance, is only 2 percent biodiesel and 98 percent petrodiesel.

Car manufacturers usually void the warranty when someone fills up on diesel above B20. Newkirk says B99 biodiesel is perfectly safe for cars—customers just have to change their oil a little more often because tiny fuel particles can end up trapped in the engine and dilute the oil. “We have a few customers who are like ‘Fuck them! I don’t care, man! We’re gonna do biodiesel anyways!

We don’t care about warranties!’ This is Santa Cruz, and people are that way,” Newkirk says.

“So you know, they just change their oil every 3,000 miles instead of every 10,000, and

nobody’s had any trouble.”

Congress has always re-approved the biodiesel tax credit, which went into effect in 2005, on a year-to-year basis— often at the 11th hour, passing a bill that retroactively counts to fuel pumped earlier in the year. The lack of reliability has forced many business owners out of the industry, and a national campaign is afoot nationwide to make the rebate permanent.

Over the years, debates have raged over how sustainable alternatives like biodiesel and ethanol—for gas-powered cars—even are. Compared to petroleum fuels, biodiesel releases slightly more nitrous dioxide, which causes acid rain. But it cuts back on greenhouse gas emissions and eliminates sulfur dioxide altogether—another acid rain contributor, Newkirk says.

Newkirk first broke into the industry in 1999, and his first biodiesel venture at the same Ocean Street location went bankrupt in 2008. After jumpstarting the business and adding U-Haul rentals, he and his new

partners added tiny electric car sales to their résumés, as well. From the parking lot, they sold about 15 ZENNs—zero emissions, no noise. The neighborhood “microcars” couldn’t go above 25 miles per hour, but they came on the market before car companies started releasing higher-end models like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt.

These days, Newkirk and his cohort are working on a new degreaser made from biodiesel. With a few modifications, he says, the fuel becomes just about the most amazing multi-purpose cleaner he’s ever used, as it breaks down car wax, roofing caulking, even black tar. At this point, they’re still tinkering with the bottling and marketing.

The working title: BioD-40—a play off of WD-40.

“We’ve tried to make sustainable transportation our business model, not just biodiesel,” Newkirk says. “We had a tiny bit of success, and I guess our success right now is that we’re still here.”

THERE’S A NEW WEBSITE IN TOWN.

Mediterranean restaurant Zameen, has been running a food truck for four years, in addition to the restaurant’s brick-and-mortar location in Aptos.

Watson, who can see both sides of the food truck issue, suggests the coastal areas could provide great locations for major food truck congregations like those in other cities.

“I’d hate to see a food truck park in front of my restaurant,” Watson says.

“But San Francisco has taken an area where there’s not a lot of restaurants and transformed it by inviting food trucks to park there, and transformed the whole area because of it. If they could designate an area—even if it’s not daily—where we could all congregate and be open to the public, it would be a great change.”

Kasia Maslanka Smith, who owns the food truck Ate3One with her husband Jonathan, says she’s sensitive about sharing space with brick-and-mortar restaurants. She would rather see the regulations relaxed for public areas where there are no other food options.

“I’m not going to go to downtown Santa Cruz because Hula’s [Island Grill], for example, can’t pack up their restaurant and go on the road.

I wouldn’t do that, unless it was a private event,” says Smith.

A chef for more than 10 years, Smith opened Ate3One in 2014 after working with food trucks in San Jose.

She recently purchased a second truck and sees lots of room for growth for food trucks in Santa Cruz.

However, reaching the customer base is crucial, crediting Kates and her events for the opportunity to develop a following.

Both Smith and Watson say that although opening a food truck is expensive, it doesn’t even approach the cost of opening a brick-andmortar restaurant in the area. Mobile vending is a much more affordable way for entrepreneurs, especially young people, to enter the industry and become business owners.

“The amount [of food trucks] we have is great,” says Smith. “It’s always going to be kind of small because of the population, but there’s definitely room to grow.”

ROOT P I

n the grand scheme of things, the science of trees is relatively new. There’s still a lot we don’t know, and 1,000-year-old trees that hold the genetic secrets to many unanswered questions are few and far between—and continuing to disappear, even as scientists scramble to clone them. But of the many benefits science has found trees to provide for life on Earth— releasing oxygen, filtering water and air, acting as natural mood

elevators, discouraging crime, improving commerce, and hosting microorganisms that may be major contributors to rainfall, just to name a few—the most significant is a voracious appetite for carbon dioxide.

“As natural canopy declines, in the third world and in our country, the urban tree population is really what everyone’s relying on [to mitigate] global warming,” says Leslie Keedy, the urban forester for the City of

Santa Cruz since 2000.

We’re standing under the biggest redwood tree in downtown Santa Cruz. Like several other redwoods that have adapted to city life, its massive 6-foot-diameter trunk oozes out over the Church Street sidewalk, which was replaced years ago to accommodate it. “It’s probably about 100 years old,” says Keedy—a baby, compared to a few last oldgrowth redwoods hidden away in the Santa Cruz Mountains, which are

estimated to be 1,400 to 1,800 years old, and top out at nearly 300 feet.

“This is one of our natives. They have flat leaves so they drink the fog, and then the fog drips down.

Most of our redwoods don’t have flat leaves, but our coastal redwood does, to kind of grip the fog,” says Keedy. She points toward a second towering redwood behind it, which, under the city’s Heritage Tree Ordinance, is close enough to a law office that its removal would likely

be approved if the owner, citing safety issues or structural damage, applied for a permit to do so. “But this one is far enough away that he’ll never get a permit out of me in my lifetime,” Keedy says.

Over the past 16 years, Keedy admits she’s grown a thick skin, much like the bark of the ceiba tree growing at City Hall, as all of the city’s tree removal permits— required for any “heritage tree,” or tree with a 44-inch-or-greater

circumference—fall on her. Last year, 296 removal permits were filed with the city, Keedy says, 85-90 percent of which she approved.

“The majority are legitimate requests for property damage, tree health, dead trees and construction,” she says.

The Santa Cruz City Council does, of course, retain the right to overrule a denied permit if the owner appeals, as it did with a century-old redwood tree on

Pine Street last year, which was causing damage to a garage. This year’s permit requests include nine heritage eucalyptus trees at a construction site on Western Drive, seven of which will be approved, as three are dead and four warrant removal due to defects and decline in health, says Keedy.

Between 1995 and 2013, 4,000 heritage trees were removed in the city—equivalent in carbon emissions to at least 1,000 cars annually, says

As of a public hearing on July 6, 38 trees on city property, including 10 heritage trees, had been listed for removal, and 275 trees on private property—122 of which are heritage— await review. Separately, in the county at large, 292 public trees and 724 private trees—most of them in the 5th District—are earmarked for removal and awaiting review.

Of 2,500 permits applied for between 1995-2000, 2,350 were granted. “While the numbers have dropped since then, it’s fair to say we have far fewer heritage trees left to remove,” says Gillian Greensite, a longtime local tree advocate.

temperatures, drought and disease.

Currently, Bhutan is the only country in the world with a negative carbon footprint. Here, forests cover 72 percent of the land, absorbing an estimated 6 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, while the country produces only 1.6 million tons. In 2005, the Amazon Basin went from being a carbon sink to a carbon source, following an El Niño drought with high winds that killed, according to NASA, half a billion trees in 48 hours. Substantial forest die-offs in British Columbia became a carbon source in 2008, and the list of significant die-offs continues to grow, as carbon release fuels a positive feedback loop of more warming.

Santa Cruz County, located at the end of a 450-mile-strip that is the only place in the world where redwoods grow, has not been immune to global trends.

“We are at the southernmost end of their range, and, being that, we’re seeing a lot of damage in the landscapes,” says Peter Shaw, Ph.D, chair of the horticulture department at Cabrillo College. “Scotts Valley’s Santa’s Village area, there was a whole row of a cultivar called Santa Cruz, and they are all dead. Probably 30 of them. And I see dead redwoods all over. We’re losing our Monterey cypress, as well.”

Shaw, who has documented more than 283 tree species on his blog Trees of Santa Cruz County, attributes the die-offs to drought and a marked decline in fog over the past few summers. He also notes that the county’s oak trees took a big hit in the sudden oak death epidemic that appeared in 1995, which scientists predict to accelerate after 2020.

THE ADVOCATE I meet Greensite under a tunnel of catalpa trees on Catalpa Street— which is one of the only city streets besides Walnut Avenue where the trees form a canopy over the road.

Greensite began advocating for big trees soon after she arrived in Santa Cruz in 1977 and noticed massive 80-to-120-year-old cypress and eucalyptus trees coming down in her lower Westside neighborhood, one after another.

“I didn’t know the system then, so it took me a while,” says Greensite, “but I tried to save quite a few, and was not successful.”

Her list of lost trees is long and meticulously documented, including seven eucalyptus trees that were removed by the Seaside Company from behind the Sea and Sand Inn, ending in 2011. After the trees were removed and their roots rotted, the cliffs collapsed, requiring the city to put in a retaining wall, finished earlier this year.

“The myth has developed in Santa Cruz that we’re such a tree city, [that] even if a tree was to fall on your head you’ll never get a permit.

It’s really strange how myths arise, because it’s the opposite,” says Greensite. “Santa Cruz does not have a good track record for saving trees.”

Up until the late ’90s, Front Street was lined with 40-60-year-old New Zealand Christmas trees, also known as red gums, which flame red with flowers in summer.

“It was stunning,” says Greensite.

But in the late ’90s, Jim Lang, director of Parks and Recreation at the time, ordered them all removed.

“I was sitting next to him when the decision was made, and I said

<24 ‘Jim, why would you cut down those beautiful trees?’ And he said, ‘They’re not our idea of a street tree,’” recalls Greensite. “Meaning they drop their stamens and things and were messy.” When asked about the decision for this story, Lang declined to comment.

There are a couple of red gums remaining down by the Laurel Street bridge, she says, and a beautiful example of a 40-60-year-old red gum on Center and Cedar streets, which Keedy says she saved from being cut down for a Barry Swenson Builder development project, since the roots are primarily on the opposite side of the proposed building lot.

In 2013, the city broadened its Heritage Tree Ordinance, adding allergies and economic hardship to the list of defensible tree removal permits, and exempting itself from conducting environmental reviews.

In response, Greensite founded the grassroots organization Save Our Big Trees, which filed a lawsuit against the city for dropping environmental reviews, required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Save Our Big Trees lost at the local level, but won at the state appellate

level, which ruled that the City of Santa Cruz go back to the previous ordinance.

“That is a stronger ordinance—it obviously doesn’t protect a whole lot, when you look at the numbers of permits, but it’s better than what was going to happen,” says Greensite. “We need, actually, a stronger ordinance, and I hope to be able to work with [Keedy] to craft a truly stronger ordinance that isn’t catering to special interests who would like to remove tree protection, but who truly want to protect trees.”

THE NEXT FIGHT The Saturday afternoon sun filters through the catalpa tree’s lightgreen, heart-shaped leaves, which are interspersed with white flowers in the spring. It’s a mystery who planted these trees, or how old they are, but some of the trunks are massive. Four of the catalpas, which continue on to Melrose Avenue, are slated for removal by PG&E, and, according to Keedy, will not be replaced with catalpas, which she says are a problematic tree due to

their tendency to decay. All of the trees removed by PG&E, she says, will be either replaced by three 15-gallon trees, one 24-inch tree, or mitigated with a $150 bond.

“I have no problem with PG&E being concerned about safety,” says Greensite. “However, have all our cities gas pipelines got new valves?

Have they got shut-off valves? In other words, has everything been done below ground to ensure safety before we start talking about trees?

Now the answer to that could be yes, but I don’t see evidence of that.”

When I ask PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith for specific examples of trees obstructing pipeline access, he uses the analogy of a car manufacturer sending a car owner a notice about a potential flaw in the car that could pose a safety risk.

“And it’s really the same kind of sense behind this,” says Smith, “in that our focus is on safety, and we want to make sure that we have a gas system that is as safe as possible for the community, and we’ve identified this as a potential risk, and there have been instances elsewhere

where not being able to have that access has been a concern in terms of making that situation safe.”

Greensite suggests that the city, still working on its final agreement with PG&E, require the utility to map the root systems of each tree slated for removal with Ground Penetrating Radar, to verify its obstruction, but the city has not requested this, according to Keedy.

Private landowners with earmarked trees on their property will soon be receiving notices from PG&E in order to review and negotiate potential removals.

“Our commitment is to not move forward with the replacement of any tree until we have a signed agreement from the customer that they are comfortable with the approach that’s going to be taken,” says Smith.

But Greensite doubts many private landowners will challenge PG&E, since the utility will be appraising the value of each tree and compensating the owners. “I think it’s over 50 percent of houses in Santa Cruz that are non-owner

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM occupied, so the property owner lives somewhere else. And I think the absentee landlords will say, ‘sure, take it down, you’re going to pay me as well? Great’,” says Greensite, who notes that the 110-year-old red horse chestnut tree on Broadway—removed by the city in 2010 to make room for the Hyatt Hotel construction, had been appraised at around $30,000.

When the red horse chestnut tree was finally cut down—following months of community vigils to try to save it—the city made a point of promising to save a neighboring pine tree by putting protective barriers around it, says Greensite. “Well, they started construction, and they sliced down to get all of their concrete laid right next to the tree, and I just noticed yesterday, it’s dead. It’s totally dead,” she says.

Santa Cruz is one of 156 communities in California with the designation “Tree City, USA,” given by the Arbor Day Foundation to communities committed to protecting their urban canopies to offset greenhouse gases.

But Greensite says trees are rarely part of the discussion when it comes to the city’s Climate Action Plan.

“When I go to their meetings and hear their updates, it’s all about transportation, which is great, and saving energy with lights, etc.” says Greensite. “Trees are so far down on the list.”

In Santa Cruz’s Climate Action Plan, an 80-page document available online, the word “trees” appears three times— counting their mention in the subhead “Green Space, Parks, Gardens and Trees”—on page 71 and 72.

Every year, urban forests alone sequester nearly half a billion dollars’ worth of carbon and remove air pollutants within their communities that would cost nearly $4 billion to clean up in other ways, writes science author Jim Robbins in The Man Who Planted Trees, including very toxic ones, from lung-cancer-causing particulates to benzene, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides and lead—all of them health hazards.

“If I was going to plant one tree

in this country it would be near a building to reduce energy use, to get both carbon sequestration from the tree and reduction in energy use,” says Dave Nowak of the U.S. Forest Service. A tree near a building can reduce the need for air conditioning by 30 percent and reduce 25-50 percent of energy needed for heating, which translates, at the low end, to 16,000-20,000 pounds of carbon in unburned fossil fuel.

But the right tree in the right place is so critical that Nowak and his colleagues created a software program called i-Tree, in which homeowners can enter their address to find out energy effects and other services provided by specific trees for their location.

In order to ensure the substantial carbon sink that Santa Cruz heritage trees constitute—1-2 metric tons of carbon absorbed each year for a mature heritage tree—Gershenson recommended, in 2013, that the city significantly alter its replanting policies, and replace trees taken out with trees that are “functionally similar.”

But when I asked the city for its public-record data of trees removed and trees replanted, they were unavailable.

“All trees removed and all trees planted go into the city’s database,” says Keedy, “but the one gal that did it for 20 years just retired [in February], and she was the only one that really knew our new system, and so our data entry has kind of fallen into disrepair, and we are playing catchup getting all of the trees planted into the database.”

Under the Heritage Tree Ordinance, those who secure a permit to remove a heritage tree must either replant a tree on their property or pay the city $150. The missing data includes the number of bonds paid to the city in lieu of planting.

That said, Keedy estimates that 200-300 trees are planted each year in a non-drought year.

But Greensite, skeptical that the number could be so high, says that the majority of people pay the bond rather than replant. “Over the past 30 years, I’ve seen 27 mature,

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM <29 commerce due to people staying longer to shop in shady areas.

As the cherry trees planted along Pacific Avenue—which once hosted a diverse array of tree species, each with their own plaque—die, they will be replaced by crepe myrtles, says Keedy, who also notes that she plants large-stature trees whenever possible, especially in medians where powerlines don’t interfere.

“I’m hoping to plant new canopy trees on Delaware, probably over the next one or two years, but I’m waiting for funding,” says Keedy.

Currently, Santa Cruz’s Heritage Grant Fund, which Keedy says disappeared for a few years during the economic downturn, contains $25,000, down from $50,000 in the early 2000s. The fund is available to assist any resident who wants to care for aging trees. Keedy also notes that anybody who wants to plant a tree on their property for future generations can do so, without a permit—but placement and careful consideration is recommended.

“We shouldn’t think of trees as only beautifying a city or suburb, but as a strategically planted ecotechnology, part of a living, versatile, valuable environmental infrastructure,” writes Robbins in The Man Who Planted Trees. “Planting trees, I myself thought for a long time, was a feel-good thing, a nice but feeble response to our litany of modern-day environmental problems. In the last few years, though, as I have read many dozens of articles and books and interviewed scientists here and abroad, my thinking has changed.

Planting trees may be the single most important ecotechnology that we have to put the broken pieces of our planet back together.”

As for the future of Santa Cruz’s heritage trees, Greensite says it depends on a level of consciousness around trees that isn’t there for a lot of people, including those governing the city.

“It’s been very hard to see a lot of the trees go,” she says. “But I tend to sort of not spend a lot of time mourning, and say ‘on to the next one,’ knowing that there will be a next one.”

beautiful heritage trees cut down in my immediate neighborhood and one crepe myrtle as a replant onsite for the five large cypresses removed at the end of my street,” says Greensite.

In 2015, being a drought year, Keedy estimates that about 150-175 trees were planted.

“Approximately 80 percent of the trees I see that are in new landscapes right now are crepe myrtles,” says Keedy. “They’re pretty, and they really have their place in the world, but they’re really downsizing the urban forest. They just stay small.”

Matt Ritter, Ph.D., professor of biology at Cal Poly, has been the chair of San Luis Obispo’s Tree Committee for the past seven years.

The committee, consisting of seven tree experts that review all of the city’s tree removal permits, grants about 50 percent of 120-200 annual requests. The committee, he says, takes the heat of the decision off of the city, and bolsters the decisions against potential lawsuits.

Ritter says crepe myrtles, often favored by downtown associations and business owners, are an example of inappropriate tree planting. “People tend to forget that trees are alive, that they’re living things. We tend to just look at them as objects,” says Ritter, who equates the crepe myrtle to the closest thing there is to a plastic tree.

“My advice to cities in general is to always plant the biggest possible tree you can that is appropriate for the space. Having a huge boulevard in which you plant these little lollipop crepe myrtle trees is a waste of a tree. They’re capable of making a beautiful accent, but you wouldn’t want them as a boulevard tree because they don’t get very big, they don’t provide the shade, they don’t provide all of the benefits you want from a large canopy cover that can really cool urban places and do everything we want a tree to do for us,” says Ritter, noting that the proven long-term benefits of large canopy trees, like the sycamores growing on the east side of Pacific Avenue, include improved

for Parkinson’s teachers Damara Vita Ganley, Molly Katzman and Katie Griffin. They sit in a circle and start with chair exercises, focusing on balance and coordination, says instructor Ganley.

By the time that the class progresses to movement across the floor, Elmore is striding, he says. For Elmore, that’s the biggest surprise.

“I’m actually moving freely across the floor,” says Elmore. “The program that [Ganley] is leading just awakens your muscles and gets them to do things you didn’t know they could do.”

Parkinson’s disease affects control over a person’s motor skills, like balancing muscles, forcing people with Parkinson’s to consciously think about physical motions and functions that, for most, are automatic— making what used to be routine incredibly difficult, says Elmore.

“I have to use a part of my brain to control something I would otherwise do unconsciously—like when I cut something with a sharp knife, I have to watch consciously rather than unconsciously that I don’t slice through my finger instead of an onion, for example,” says Elmore.

According to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, up to 60 percent of people with the disease experience mild to moderate depressive symptoms. Parkinson’s affects parts of the brain that control mood, including the area that produces serotonin and the frontal lobe, so it’s possible that the disease itself also causes the depression.

Dancing, according to several studies conducted over the past decade, can help with the psychological and the neurological symptoms. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Neural Transmission found that “Dance training employs strategic methods such as visual focus, rhythm, imagery,

proprioceptive input, and imitation of discrete parts of dance sequences to gain superior control of posture, balance, and movement.”

It works, says Elmore.

“It’s always a challenge when you’re shaking a little bit to try and do something else besides shaking,” he says. “The class gets you focusing on something else beyond the shakes.”

Motion board member and instructor Ganley has been teaching Parkinson’s dance classes since 2008 and says that each class is modified for who is in the room, and where they are at that moment.

“For instance, if someone’s only able to unfurl their hand that day— finding a great feeling of poetry in that gesture, a virtuosity of experience, that kind of blossoming of a hand opening—that’s just as important as someone running and jumping across the room,” says Ganley.

With a sponsorship from Tony Walker, owner of in-home senior care service ComForCare, Motion was able to launch the classes with live accompaniment for not only people with Parkinson’s but also their caretakers and family members—all for free.

“There are so many costs that are associated with living with Parkinson’s, so we wanted it to be open and available for anyone and everyone,” says Ganley. “This offers a way for people who are not generally included in the dance population to be dancers and be part of the dance community.”

“For me, art—and in particular, dance—is a way to find meaning and question what it means to be human,” says Ganley. “It’s in these Dance for Parkinson’s classes that I really see a true connection to strength and vulnerability, the power of living in the moment.”

After all, living with Parkinson’s is no party, so you might as well dance.

‘Man’ Down

36

Thao Nguyen goes deeper and darker than ever before in her latest album ‘A Man Alive’ BY AARON CARNES

L

ongtime fans of Thao and the Get Down Stay Down might find the group’s latest record nearly unrecognizable—sonically and lyrically. But it’s also Thao Nguyen’s strongest effort to date.

The band’s first handful of records dealt primarily with the lead singer and band leader’s life experiences, romantic entanglements, and the like. With the band’s fourth album, 2013’s We the Common, Nguyen pivoted dramatically, drawing on her time working at the California Coalition for Women Prisoners. But it’s the newest album, A Man Alive, released this

year, that truly sets itself apart; it’s a sharp departure from her past works, leading back to self-examination, and delves far deeper than any of her previous works.

In A Man Alive, Nguyen goes back to the source, to her relationship with her estranged father, and how it’s impacted her life.

“I lived most of my life without him.

There are songs where I’m writing from his perspective and there are songs where I’m talking to him about my relationship to my life [that exists] because of him,” says Nguyen. “I found it incredibly illuminating. Once I allowed myself to go there then there

were a lot of things that came out that I had never wanted to visit.”

We the Common was a piece of musical activism which, with Nguyen’s background in sociology and feminist studies at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, is no surprise. But in order to comment on the bigger picture, she says, she had to be willing to make herself vulnerable.

“Touring We the Common, having that sense of community and having a warmer interaction with audiences, I think I realized I couldn’t keep looking outward without working out internal affairs,” Nguyen says. “At a certain point, if you want to keep

being productive and giving and being a part of the community, if there are things to sort out internally, then it needs to be addressed.”

A Man Alive carries a different tune. Thao usually gets categorized as “uplifting indie-folk,” so it was a deliberate move on her part. She wanted the album to be more bassoriented, she says, to have a deeper, even hip-hop groove to the songs.

Nguyen worked with Merrill Garbus of the Tune-Yards on the album as producer, who shared Nguyen’s vision for the record’s sound. Nguyen wrote songs on whatever instrument she felt inclined to—often guitar, but not always. Then she’d deconstruct the songs, bring them down to their essence of bass and rhythm, and then re-introduce guitars and other instruments as leads.

“It’s stuff I’ve always been into that’s less demonstrated in older records,” Nguyen says. “At that point I felt that I had done enough of the guitar-based songwriting. I wanted to explore other avenues.”

Inspired by the emotion and the instrumentation, there’s an intense energy to A Man Alive: the lyrics were a catharsis for Nguyen, and you can hear it in every note.

“There’s a lot of dark matter on the record. The live show can be an intense one but that’s what I was hoping for,” Nguyen says. “Some of the songs are a more apt vehicle for that kind of intense emotion, so to have that outlet was helpful. Both were independent, but it was clear they were going hand in hand and helping each other.”

As she’s toured for the album, Nguyen’s spoken to a lot of fans. “The pretense is removed pretty quickly.

It becomes a very down-to-earth and honest interaction,” she says.

By putting herself more into her music than ever before, she’s received a different reaction from many of them, and for those who’ve had similar experiences Nguyen’s lyrics hit home: “It’s been very sweet and humane.

It just becomes a sort of a bonding, common ground,” says Nguyen.

“Everyone has someone in their family that doesn’t meet expectations.”

Green Building in Santa Cruz

By Datta Khalsa, Broker A funny thing happened on the way to the 21st century. In the Sixties, it seemed like it was always Us against Them: The Environmentalists against Big Business. Then somewhere along the way, Big Business (and the everyday consumer) learned it was actually profitable to renew, reuse and recycle.

Aligning our personal needs with those of the environment has certainly made a difference in how homes are built today. Both at the national and local government level, incentives are offered for homes built in accordance with the LEED guidelines to meet one of four levels of certification, the highest being Platinum, scoring 80 points and above.

• Naturopathic Medicine • Acupuncture • Rolfing & Rolf Movement • Massage Therapy • IV Therapy • Energy Work • Family Medicine • Polarity • Facials • Physical Therapy • Emotional Freedom Technique • Aromatherapy • Hypnotherapy • Transformational Therapy • Photon Therapy • Herbal Medicine

Locally, the City of Santa Cruz’s Green Building Ordinance was designed to promote Green Building, leading the way by example in the City’s commitment to green building practices for all new and remodeled construction on city-owned buildings and structures. In addition, Santa Cruz requires compliance by all homeowners and contractors who construct or remodel a building in the City to certain minimum standards, and offer increased incentives and priority processing to residential projects scoring 45 points or higher.

They also run a number of other Green Focus Programs including Certified Green Business, Climate Action Program, Recycling and Waste Reduction, and a range of programs which you can look up on the city’s website under their Green Building Program.

While to my knowledge the County of Santa Cruz hasn’t yet implemented a formal Green Building Program, they do offer on their website a comprehensive directory of Architects, Contractors, Designers, and other professionals including Energy Efficiency Audit experts who can help make your next project the ideal balance between affordability and sustainability…which just might having you seeing some green in the very near future.

In home construction, in order to meet the higher standards, green building includes using renewable resources such as solar as well environmentally responsible materials with a preference towards those that can be locally sourced. There can be clear tax incentives for going green: At the State Level, there are programs in place allowing commercial solar installations to be able to fully depreciate their equipment costs over the first few years after installation, in addition to the energy savings. And while certain tax incentives have gone away for residential solar installations, there are still some tax benefits which, along with the energy savings and increased resale value, still pose a favorable return on investment for many homeowners.

Celebrate liberté, égalité, fraternité with a fundraising event of Baroque proportions and step into a magical medieval wonderland. What began with an orphan 1879 organ console from Preston Boomer “The Boom,” rescued and restored in 1953, has evolved into a 40-rank, 2,500-pipe organ. Perfect for the vampiric spookiness of the Baroque era, the organ is just one of the captivating aspects of Boomeria, think catacombs, dungeons, and laboratories.

LOCAL BAND

JESSE DANIEL AND THE SLOW LEARNERS On the front page of Jesse Daniel and the Slow Learners’ website, there’s a black-and-white photo of Daniel flipping off the camera. It might sound like a punk rocker making a bid for street cred, but in fact Daniel plays country music, and the pic is an homage to the late, great Johnny Cash.

JULY 13-19, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Daniel does have some punk roots—he played in several hardcore bands growing up—but when he writes and records his own music, it’s always country.

46

“Whenever I sit down and try to write a song, it always has a little bit of twang to it,” he explains. Daniel has more in common with classic country artists than new mainstream country stars. “I love Buck Owens. He’s my all-time favorite, and Merle Haggard.

Their ability to sing a sad song, but in a chipper way. Sing a sad song, but you also feel kind of happy listening to it. It’s not depressing to listen to.”

Daniel has been writing country songs for four or five years, but he recorded his first solo EP, American Unknown, last December. He played all the instruments himself, with the help of local musician Henry Chadwick, who recorded him at his studio. After releasing the album, Daniel assembled the band the Slow Learners to play the songs live.

TERENCE BLANCHARD

WEDNESDAY 7/13 INDIE-POP

DUCKTAILS Real Estate has long been considered Ducktails singer-songwriter Matt Mondanile’s main band. But somewhere along the way, Ducktails stacked up more album releases than Real Estate, and just a few months ago, Mondanile announced that he’d be leaving Real Estate to focus more on Ducktails. The two groups always had a similar style: wistful, dreamy, low-key indie-pop. In the early days, Ducktails was a much more experimental, lo-fi version of Real Estate’s shimmering, melancholy psych-pop sound. But Ducktails’ last album, 2015’s St. Catherine, sounded a lot like a Real Estate album. Makes sense now, knowing that he’s focusing all his creative energy on Ducktails.

“In my life, it’s taken me quite a long time to learn some things, so I called them that to take the spotlight off of my own learning difficulties,” Daniel says. AARON CARNES

ERIC LINDELL Singer-songwriter Eric Lindell was born and raised in San Mateo.

Now a well-established blues veteran, Lindell blends rock, soul, R&B and blues into a hip-sway-inducing, dance-floor-

packing sound. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

SOUTHERN PSYCH ROCK

NEW MADRID After building a cult following in the Athens, Georgia scene, New Madrid took to the road on a summer tour stretching across the United States.

The four college-age musicians threaten to put the South back on the map with their unique blend of alternative/ southern psych-rock fusion, soaked in reverb but leaving just enough breathing room for their rockabilly vocals.

The lead singer’s mullet is impressive and not out of place. KATIE SMALL INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-4135.

DISCO FUNK

LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES Disco is risen, in the form of fiery Latin funk fusion band Los Amigos Invisibles. The Venezuelan group got their big break in the ’90s, when David Byrne stumbled upon their debut al-

bum in a Manhattan record shop; the Talking Heads frontman immediately called up Los Amigos to sign them to his Luaka Bop record label. Since then, the members of the group have moved to New York, created their own record label, won a Grammy, and toured extensively in more than 60 countries.

The music video for their latest single, “Otra Cara Bonita” (“Another Pretty Face”), features a dancing pug wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Lounge music never looked so good. KS

old considers herself a work in progress who enjoys pop and R&B as much as bebop. In a felicitous pairing, she’s found a regular musical home within the catholic creative proclivities of pianist/keyboardist Jon Batiste and Stay Human on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show. ANDREW GILBERT

SATURDAY 7/16 JAZZ

GRACE KELLY Mentored by alto sax great Phil Woods, saxophonist Grace Kelly started collaborating with master improvisers as a teenager, even recording with alto legend Lee Konitz. But she’s been determined to find her own musical path, mixing it up stylistically and even singing on her albums and gigs. Her recent album Trying to Figure It Out makes it clear that the 24-year-

SUNDAY 7/17 PAUL MCKENNA BAND Dubbed the best folk band to have come out of Scotland in the last 20 years, the Paul McKenna Band blends a love and deep appreciation of traditional folk music with a fresh, modern sound that has established the band as one of the standouts of the contemporary Celtic scene. If the bouzouki, fiddle, flute, whistles, bodhrán, percussion and tight vocals are your thing, don’t miss this opportunity to catch one of the best bands of their generation.

trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard isn’t afraid to take on tough topics with his music. A top scorer for Spike Lee films, including Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever, Malcolm X and the four-hour Hurricane Katrina documentary When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, he puts his music where his consciousness is. The title of Blanchard’s latest release, Breathless, refers to Eric Garner’s last words during his 2014 confrontation with New York City police. The album is a commentary on the treatment of minorities by American law enforcement, created by the E-Collective, his quintet that has been described as a “hip young band full of funk, R&B and groove colors.” CJ

Buckwheat Zydeco, born Stanley Dural, Jr., is one of the first artists who comes to mind when it comes to zydeco music. A gritty, soulful and powerful vocalist, accordion player and organist, Buckwheat got his start backing legendary artists, including Joe Tex, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Eric Clapton, and his mentor Clifton Chenier. As bandleader, Buckwheat has been ambassador to the Southwest Louisiana sound for decades, and is one of the country’s undisputed musical treasures. CAT JOHNSON

CRISIS OF FAITH Lou de Laâge plays a young intern at a French Red Cross hospital in rural 1945 Poland in ‘The Innocents.’

Piety vs. morality in Anne Fontaine’s Franco-Polish postwar drama‘The Innocents’ BY LISA JENSEN

T

he horrors of warfare respect no sanctuary.

However isolated you may think you are, physically or emotionally, the evil will find you. It’s how one copes with the results—or fails to cope—and the moral sacrifices made along the way that provides the foundation for the French drama The Innocents. In this slowly unfolding morality play, already thorny issues of personal moral choices get all tangled up with questions of faith and obedience at a remote Catholic convent in postwar Poland.

The film was directed by French

filmmaker Anne Fontaine (Coco Before Chanel). She is also one of five people credited with working on the script, from a story idea by Philippe Maynial, based on the experiences of a real-life French woman doctor in Europe after World War II. The film’s protagonist is Mathilde Beaulieu (Lou de Laâge), a young intern working at a French Red Cross hospital in rural Poland in 1945; their mission is to find and repatriate French-born victims of the death camps.

In the depth of winter, a young nun arrives at the post, asking for a doctor. She’s turned away by

the busy staff, but when Mathilde notices her outside hours later, kneeling in the snow, praying, the doctor goes out to see what the matter is. The nun, Maria (Agate Buzek) has come on foot from a faroff convent on the edge of the forest, and Mathilde agrees to drive her back in a jeep to see if she can help.

Although the suspicious Abbess (Agata Kulesza) clearly doesn’t want her there, Mathilde is reluctantly allowed to see a young nun who’s writhing in agony—she’s about to give birth, and the baby is breeched.

Mathilde safely delivers the infant,

but soon discovers that seven more of the convent’s cloistered nuns and novices are also pregnant. At the end of the war, the Abbess reveals, bitterly, the sisters were persecuted by the Germans, then “occupied” by the Russian army. The resulting pregnancies are a “shame” the Abbess will do anything to keep hidden.

Mathilde agrees to come after hours and between shifts at the hospital to help the girls through their pregnancies. But, she’s told, it’s “a sin” for nuns to show their bodies or be touched, so they’re afraid to be examined for fear of going to Hell.

While Mathilde struggles to reconcile religious beliefs and medical science, Maria has a crisis of faith about a God who would allow such violence to befall the blameless Sisters. (When Maria confesses her doubts, the Abbess’s solution is to pray.)

This conflict between piety, morality, and common sense threads through the story, rendering it both infuriating and tragic, by turns—especially as it affects those newborn babies. Director Fontaine maintains a delicate balance between the serenity of the convent and the Sisters’ beautiful plainsongs, and the brutal aftermath of the war outside—and what’s happening to their bodies from within.

But the acting is very persuasive, especially de Laâge as forthright, compassionate Mathilde, who has every reason to bond with the Sisters as the story progresses. Vincent Macaigne lends a briskly cynical yet sympathetic male voice as the FrenchJewish doctor who’s Mathilde’s boss (and occasional bedmate). Buzek is excellent as Maria, who chooses action over obedience to do the right thing.

Agate Kulesza brings dark layers to the Abbess, who’s desperate to remedy her complex situation with simple but devastating choices. It’s an interesting about-face for Kulesza, who was so terrific as the cynical, wayward aunt in the fine Polish drama, Ida, a couple of years back.

THE INNOCENTS *** (out of four) With Lou de de Laâge, Agata Buzek, and Agata Kulesza.

Written by Pascal Bonitzer, Anne Fontaine, Sabrina B. Karine and Alice Vial, from a story by Philippe Maynial. Directed by Anne Fontaine. A Music Box release. (PG-13) 115 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

CAFÉ SOCIETY Classic elegant nostalgia from Woody Allen, right down to the semi-awkward, semialluring cast and a love triangle with an OK-looking dude (Jesse Eisenberg, who may just be the quintessential Allen lead) and ridiculously goodlooking females, this time dancing between 1930s Hollywood glamour and New York gangsterdom. Kristen Stewart looks to be at her best, but as one online reviewer put it: “Her part required some aloofness and mystery and she did a good job, whether because she is a good actress or because her range is limited.”Woody Allen directs. Steve Carell co-stars. (PG13) 96 minutes.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

JULY 13-19, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GHOSTBUSTERS After what feels like a very long year of advertising for this film, the highly anticipated and even more highly criticized all-female reboot of the franchise is finally available to be ripped apart by every Ghostbusters fan, ever (RIP Harold Ramis). Any film with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon can’t be too bad, right? Right? We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Paul Feig directs. (PG13) 116 minutes.

54

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE Ricky was raised on hip-hop and foster care and is adorably defiant. He’s pure hip-hop, or at least that’s how he sees himself, so when he decides to run away into the New Zealand brush, he’s all gangsta kangaroo and stuff.

Thankfully, his adoptive uncle (the ever-stoic Sam Neill) finds him and decides to join in on giving society a big middle finger and run away for good.

From the director of What We Do in the Shadows and Boy, Taika Waititi. Julian Dennison and Rima Te Wiata co-star.

(PG-13) 101 minutes.

THE INFILTRATOR From smalltown meth drug lord to a grumpy blacklisted screenwriter, Bryan Cranston now emerges as an undercover narcotics officer (obviously the next in the natural progression of roles) in Florida, circa 1986, who gets deep into the moneylaundering scheme of none other than Pablo Escobar. Brad Furman directs. John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger co-star. (R) 127 minutes.

THE BFG Roald Dahl’s classic BFG brought to the screen with Mark Rylance as the beloved vegetarian giant. Steven Spielberg directs.

Rebecca Hall and Bill Hader co-star.

(PG) 117 minutes.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Raising his six children to be philosopher kings in the forest of the Pacific West, Viggo Mortensen is thrown back into the harsh truth of the real world when his wife suddenly passes away. Matt Ross directs. Frank Langella and Kathryn Hahn co-star. (R) 118 minutes.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE An overweight high-school kid with braces singing “Never Gonna Get It” grows into the Rock we all know and love (he saves puppies in real life, guys), who’s joined the CIA. Poor Kevin Hart keeps ending up in long, involved car rides where the driver is way better equipped to handle the situation than he is. Rawson Marshall Thurber directs. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danielle Nicolet co-star.

(PG-13) 114 minutes.

FINDING DORY There are no words, only happy squeals of joy. Now go find that fish! Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane direct. Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill co-star. (PG) 103 minutes.

FREE STATE OF JONES Inspired by the life of Newton Knight, this film features Matthew McConaughey as the Mississippi farmer who led a gang of rebels against the Confederate Army and declared Jones County a free, mixed-race community. Gugu MbathaRaw and Mahershala Ali co-star. (R) 139 minutes.

GENIUS Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney—oh my!

Jude’s southern accent though …

Michael Grandage directs. (PG-13) 104 minutes.

LEADERS OF THE PROTON PACK Left to right: Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig and Kate McKinnon in director Paul Feig’s reboot of ‘Ghostbusters.’

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Twenty years after Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum fought off the invading aliens, the galactic bullies are back and, with 11 writers on this sequel and a $200-million budget for special effects, it’s theoretically bigger than ever. Buckle up: “she has arrived.” Roland Emmerich directs.

Liam Hemsworth co-stars. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

THE INNOCENTS Reviewed this issue. English Subtitles. (Pg-13) 115 minutes.

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Man has midlife crisis, is disillusioned with life in the big city and a nagging wife, returns to the jungle to finally get some peace and quiet. David Yates directs. Margot Robbie, Alexander Skarsgård, Ella Purnell co-star. (PG-13) 109 minutes.

THE LOBSTER The first thing that Colin Farrell hears upon arriving at the City is,“If you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here, you’ll turn into an animal.” It’s not a joke.

Who knew someone could so expertly and macabrely reinvent the romantic comedy? It’s been called the year’s most original movie, and with Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz, John C.Reilly and Léa Seydoux as players in this notso-distant dystopian future—where singles are given only 45 days to fall in love, or are turned into animals—that sounds about right. Yorgos Lanthimos directs. Jessica Barden co-stars. (R) 118 minutes.

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP “How jolly, tiny green balls—what are they called?”

“Peas.” Oh, Jane Austen, this is going to be fun. Whit Stillman directs. Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, and Xavier Samuel co-star. (PG) 92 minutes.

MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES The fact that Brosef McBroferston himself, Zac Efron (who also rides sharks in his spare time) is in this is negated by the presence of the genius magical-unicorn life force that is Aubrey Plaza. You may proceed. Jake Szymanski directs. Adam Devine and Anna Kendrick co-star. (R) 98 minutes.

MUSIC OF STRANGERS: YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD Internationally beloved cellist Yo-Yo Ma brings together musicians from all over the world to explore their philosophies on music, culture, life, and meaning. GT film reviewer Lisa Jensen gives it three-andhalf stars out of four: read her piece in our July 6 issue. Morgan Neville directs.

(PG-13) 96 minutes.

OUR KIND OF TRAITOR It must be a good week for the Skarsgård family: son Alexander is Tarzan in the aforementioned big-budget remake, and father Stellan plays a desperate Russian oligarch who seeks help from a couple on vacation (Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris) in this film. We are totally OK with this Swedish invasion.

Susanna White directs. Damian Lewis co-stars. (R) 107 minutes.

THE PURGE: ELECTION DAY Rick and Morty’s version is probably

better. James DeMonaco directs.

Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo, Mykelti Williamson co-star. (R) 105 minutes.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS The only way we could be more excited about an entire animated film about what pets do when their masters are away is if Liam Hemsworth was in it. Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney direct. Jenny Slate, Albert Brooks, Kevin Hart co-star.

(PG) 90 minutes.

THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks.

That’s a joke. Still, an updating of way-out-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably inevitable. Jaume Collet-Serra directs. Óscar Jaenada and Brett Cullen costar. (PG-13) 87 minutes.

SWISS ARMY MAN Paul Dano tries to hang himself on a beach, when at the last minute he sees Daniel Radcliffe washed up on the shore. Naturally, the situation devolves to where Dano drags him around with him, sees a water fountain spurt from his mouth, uses him as a rocket and may or may not ride him into the waves like a magical dolphin. Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert direct. Mary Elizabeth Winstead costars. (R) 95 minutes.

WIENER-DOG Every dog owner should probably see this movie. Did the title not convince you? Todd Solondz directs. Greta Gerwig, Keaton Nigel Cooke, Tracy Letts co-star. (R) 90 minutes.

Bantam Adds Brunch

Saturday menu is a hit on the Westside, plus the latest from Creative Cultures and Burn Hot Sauce BY LILY STOICHEFF

S

anta Cruz’s seasonal marine layer can drag a morning out into an entire afternoon, which makes summer the ideal season to brunch in Santa Cruz. My new favorite place to post up is Bantam. The Westside pizza kitchen now keeps its doors open from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays to serve the midmorning (or midday) meal with their trademark rustic Mediterraneanmeets-Santa Cruz style.

The light-filled restaurant buzzes with activity, filling as quickly for

brunch as hungry patrons can make it through the door—drawn like moths to Bantam’s wood-fired oven, which glows like a hearth from the back of the high-ceilinged room. Because it’s perfectly acceptable to have a cocktail with breakfast in Brunchland, I’d suggest starting the most important meal of the day with a flute of sparkling wine and fresh-squeezed mandarin juice as you get cozy.

“We have been wanting to do brunch for some time. There are so many fun dishes we've been wanting to try,” says owner Benjamin Sims.

The result is a playful rotating menu that strays from your typical twoeggs-your-way and what-kind-oftoast-would-you-like fare.

Think blueberry pancakes the size of your plate oozing with fruit; whipped chicken livers, thick and silky as buttercream frosting on house-made sourdough toast and topped with luscious roasted black cherries; house-cultured yogurt with granola and fresh figs; a vegetable succotash of summer squash, creamy white beans and chili butter with herbaceous jolts of tarragon and basil,

Fermentation maven Kelly Dearie dove head-first into the world of probiotic beverages to help her husband recover from two serious illnesses—and it worked. Eager to share her botanical tonics with others, she founded Creative Cultures and began producing tasty cureall beverages, like Pollen Up with bee pollen and eggplant-colored Beet Kvass. “For me and my family, learning how to use food as medicine was a matter of survival, and Creative Cultures was born out of that intense lifestyle change, which turned into a lifelong passion to inspire others to do the same,” says Dearie in an introductory video on her website.

Available at local natural food stores, Creative Cultures hopes to expand its mission of health along the West Coast. Check out their Kickstarter campaign at creativeculturesfoods.com.

Ends Wednesday, July 13 at midnight.

CHILI POW Speaking of probios—Burn Hot Sauce’s probiotic, three-ingredient hot sauce has taken over my breakfast, and now they’ve added a new product to their growing arsenal of spiciness: chili powder. In an effort to lower waste to as close to zero as possible, Burn dehydrates the unused seeds and skins that don’t blend finely enough to make it into their low-temperature hot sauce, preserving the probiotic qualities from fermentation. With all of the flavor and kick of their Thai bird, Serrano and Cayenne chilis, and the umami cheesiness of nutritional yeast, the powder is amazing on popcorn, as a marinade for meat and veggies, or on roasted potatoes. Find it at their booth at the downtown farmers market. $3 for 1.5 ounces. burnhotsauce.com.

pending hours on the water, pounding board against wave, is an exhausting sport. Since burritos are not yet waterproof, finding a seaside snack can be a challenge. But those catching a wave at Steamer Lane off West Cliff now have a quick fix for that problem. Fran Grayson, known for her Truck Stop food truck, recently opened Steamer Lane Supply, a café-and-supply store by Steamer Lane. The café will serve food, and on the weekends Truck Stop will be parked there, too, for even more bites. In order to help keep the beach pristine and safe for wildlife, Grayson has gone to great lengths to avoid selling anything with plastic or unsustainable products.

FRAN GRAYSON: It’s a café that has beachy things, like wax and leashes and emergency things people would need, sunscreen, stuff like that. I also have my own line of apparel. I’m also selling shirts and hats made by other people, primarily local surfers. This

whole thing started with me surfing, and being hungry when I got out of the water. I had so many conversations with people saying, ‘Gosh, I wish there was some food out here so I could eat something and keep surfing.’

Do you cater your menu to hungry surfers?

Yes, definitely. And to all of the people that use that same space; exercising, dog walking, tourists.

We’re doing the poke bowl because it’s quintessential surf food, and quesadillas because people can walk with them. I even make food for the dogs, too. You can buy a slice of doggy frittata, which has meat and eggs and rice and cheese in it.

What’s an arepa?

It’s a Venezuelan and Columbian dish, a corn cake that’s grilled and split open and stuffed with whatever kinds of things you want. It’s much different from a tortilla because it has more of the consistency of grits, and it’s crispy on the outside. It looks about the size of an English muffin, a little bigger. The most you can say about them is “coming soon.”

Dancing Creek Top-quality Merlot on Chaminade’s scenic patio BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

he next time you head to Chaminade Resort & Spa to hang out with friends over a glass of wine on their beautiful patio—which is definitely one of the best spots in town, with its magnificent panorama of the Monterey Bay—try Dancing Creek Winery’s 2009 Merlot.

I was there recently with friends and we all enjoyed this well-made wine, along with a few munchies to go with it. Good-quality Merlot partners well with food, and this one hit the spot with its rich flavors and red-fruit aromas, made with grapes harvested from the Santa Cruz Mountains. It sells for $34 at Chaminade and $29 at the winery.

“This is a wine that’s so vibrant and alive that it might make you want to dance!” say winery owners Jim and Robin Boyle. “Lovely aromas of tangy cherries mingle with a cupboard of baking spices to lure you in. Then you dive deeply into rich flavors of briary blackberry, roasted chestnuts, chervil, and black olive tapenade, with a hint of capers.” Sound good? Then head out to the Boyles’ winery to try some. You will get to taste their other

outstanding wines such as Syrah and Pinot—and don’t miss the Late for the Dance Zinfandel, a robust lateharvest after-dinner drink.

Dancing Creek Winery, 4363 Branciforte Drive, Santa Cruz, 408-4977753, dancingcreekwinery.com. The Boyles’ tasting room is very close to the famous Mystery Spot, and open every third Saturday of the month from noon to 5 p.m. They will be open for Passport Day on Saturday, July 16.

WINE TASTING & FOOD PAIRING Wargin Wines in Watsonville is hosting a Sangiovese 101 event with chef Tanya DeCell preparing some delicious food. Taste Sangiovese wines from Italy and California and compare the differences. A three-course tasting with local seasonal ingredients will highlight the wine flight. The price of $40 per person includes wine, food and a recipe to take home. The event is 2-4 p.m. Sunday, July 17 and advance registration is requested.

Wargin Wines is at 11 Hangar Way, Watsonville, 531-8108. They also have a tasting room at 5015 Soquel Drive, Soquel. warginwines.com, 888-247-8333.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES VENUS, EVENING STAR, CALLING US TO VESPERS

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You may attract all sorts of love, attention, dramatic and passionate situations and invitations to the arts. To others you look romantic and available. Self-expression becomes important because your creative abilities are emerging in abundance. Everything’s so exaggerated all the time. But know it’s only for a short time. Reveal your heart. Be a blessing to everyone.

It’s with friends, social circles, groups and organizations that Libra finds identity. You need to feel a sense of belonging and to offer and receive group support in all endeavors.

Everyone who loves you wants to help manifest your visions and dreams. What are those dreams and visions? You need intelligent and artistic people and those who understand and act upon altruistic goals. You are the first humanitarian.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You’re truly the harmony within the conflicts and chaos of our times. Although love is deeply felt, you may only express it through the arts or music. Take up a visual art, like drawing or painting. There’s an ending to many matters of the past. You work toward this ending. It’s a clearing. Then your next life adventure begins.

You’re learning how to contribute talents and gifts to the world. You’re a role model, guide and mentor to others.

At times Scorpio must go into hiding. Other times we must emerge and do our part. This is your emerging time. People above honor you. They play out the parts of parents, figures who discipline us. You do your part to be strong and successful and learn kindness.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Venus is your Soul ruler. What does that mean? Gemini flows to us through Mercury if we are building our personality. Mercury creates the conflicts we learn to harmonize. When our personality is directed by the Soul, Gemini flows to us through Venus which lends unity, balance and scientific study to your mind. You see everything as equal and learn to see yourself as valuable.

You’re searching for the truth everywhere, about yourself and who you’ve become. As our consciousness expands, we seek outside of ourselves like-minded ideas, people, philosophies, etc., building a bridge between ourselves and the world and seeking places where our ethics, visions, sense of justice and adventure intersect. We cannot accept limits or anything conventional. Knowledge is synthesizing into wisdom.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Money and how you value and use money becomes a focus. You’re concerned often with finances. Venus is attracting comfort, a sense of pleasure and ease with money and material resources. It’s important to visit galleries, view art and artifacts, fine and beautiful things, luxurious items that create material comfort. You don’t have to purchase them. But look at them. They uplift your usually serious spirits and offer you peace of mind.

On a very subtle level notice if you are seeking to unify with others, to walk in their shoes (know their experiences).

Notice if you feel the need to resurrect, to redeem or release something in order to have more freedom. Perhaps you are reflecting the needs of humanity also seeking freedom. Things financial may occupy your mind—inheritances, legacies, resources held in common with others. Relationships seek depth and intimacy. You allow for nothing superficial.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Work closely and offer personal attention to those around you.

As you do, the love deeply hidden in your heart will begin to come forth. People will find you more friendly and charming than usual. Leos need this recognition of their love and goodness all the time. Are you using your creative abilities, offering your gifts of beauty, taste, discrimination, ease of knowledge and natural grace to others? Are you painting?

As you relate to others in your world, notice that you are becoming more and more aware of intimacy, closeness in relationships and even lack of closeness. You seek more depth in one-on-one interactions. You’re attracted to intelligent quick-witted people. You understand the young ones. You love to communicate new ideas, the future, and all things pertaining to energy. You realize projection doesn’t work. It’s not beneficial at this time to be alone.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Compassion and understanding become great forces that impel you to help others in need. You understand the problems and difficulties humanity experiences. You want to help and to save. There are some things in your life, like emotions and feelings, that are hidden away from everyone. This, you sense, is for protection. Know that the angels surround, listen to and protect you.

Life at times feels critical with self-adjustment, work, health and nutrition. Daily routines have been changing. Perhaps even a small pet entered your life unexpectedly. In terms of food, refrain from starches, simple carbohydrates and all sugars. You need support from others. You seek a complete change in daily life and an expansion of what you do. Find and read the “Prayer of Jabez.” Follow the instructions.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 13-19, 2016

On Thursday, July 14, Venus becomes the Evening Star in our night sky, setting a few hours after sunset. Venus remains a bright glittering “star” until Dec. 31, the last day of 2016. We know Venus is a planet (inside our solar system and reflecting the Sun’s light) and not a star (generating its own light). But “star” to the ancient seers meant “a bright point of light in the sky.” Planets “wander” (move about). Stars, being “fixed,” don’t visibly change their relative positions from each other.

Venus, bright and dazzling, sometimes shines 15 times brighter than our brightest star Sirius.

On some moonless nights, the bright light of Venus can cast shadows. Only the Sun and moon, brighter than Venus, can cast shadows, although from a very dark sky location in summer, the Milky Way is collectively bright enough to do this, too.

Venus has no moons or rings, and is esoterically referred to as “Earth’s elder sister.”

Slightly smaller than the Earth, Venus is covered

with thick clouds that reflect sunlight. Mayan astronomers had accurate knowledge of the motion of Venus.

They knew when Venus would appear in the east, after disappearing in the west. Venus, the morning star, was the patron planet of warfare.

The Aztecs, also knowing of Venus, performed rituals when Venus aligned with the Pleiades.

Thinking Venus was two separate starry objects, the Greeks named the morning star Phosphoros, “bringer of light”; and the evening star Hesperos, “star of the evening.” A few hundred years later, the Hellenistic Greeks realized Venus was a single “star.”

Venus as evening star has many names.

Shining brightly after sunset, Venus is called “star of dusk,” “Hesperus” and “Vespers”—“light coming at Vespers” (calling us to evening prayer or song). On the night of Friday, July 15, Mercury joins Venus, both in Leo, in the sky at twilight.

BILL DAVIS, 38-year Customer, Santa Cruz/Sacramento

Occupation: Lawyer Hobbies: The outdoors, bike riding, running, sports/big San Francisco Giants’ fan Astrological Sign: Virgo You live part-time in Sacramento and shop at Shopper’s? BILL: “My law firm is in Sacramento so we’re there Monday thru Thursday.” LAURIE: “When we’re in Santa Cruz, I’m in here all the time, almost every day. Shopper’s is my close personal friend. We have a big house with a view and entertain friends quite a bit. We do a lot of Mexican food — tacos and enchiladas — plus Italian, French, and more, using a variety of Shopper’s meats and products.” BILL: “I love Shopper’s seafood — I can trust it. The halibut, salmon, shellfish/crab, are always fresh. We bring food back to Sacramento.”

Really? Why? LAURIE: “Shopper’s meats are not prepackaged. We take back a good variety, including marinated meats. Our Sacramento friends are always dying for us to barbecue! I do a lot recipes which call for the unusual — miso paste as an example — and Shopper’s always has what I need.” BILL: “That’s just one of the reasons we don’t shop big stores. Here, we know where the food comes from, like the produce: much of it is local and organic — our preference. I think it’s great that Shopper’s gives back to the community by supporting a lot of fundraisers, some of which we’re involved in as well”

What would you tell a new community resident about Shopper’s? LAURIE: “It’s a really nice comfy, welcoming store, where you’ll find everything you need, including so many awesome local products!”

BILL: “I think they go out of their way to support county-wide vendors. They have knowledgeable people who will help you pick out wines, as they have a great selection of reds, whites, champagnes, also excellent gins and other spirits We pretty much celebrate every day!” LAURIE: “I love always seeing the same friendly, helpful people. It feels good to walk in and be sincerely acknowledged.”

“It’s a really nice comfy, welcoming store, where you’ll find everything you need, including so many awesome local products!”
