OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE People talked for years about drug-sentencing reform— especially here in Santa Cruz— before someone actually did something about it. Just how ready Californians were to embrace the idea by 2014 was evident in Proposition 47’s easy victory at the polls that year. A lot of promises came along with it—in particular, the promise of $100 million annually for local jurisdictions to fund alternatives to incarceration like drug treatment and support for mental health issues.

Has Prop. 47 delivered? As Mat Weir writes in this week’s cover story, it has launched the sentencing reform that supporters were seeking. But not all of the promises have been kept,

Re: “Official Election” (GT, Aug. 17): As a longtime resident of downtown Santa Cruz, I applaud city councilmember Richelle Noroyan’s courage in standing up to the Coastal Commission’s juggernaut, which too often overrides the decisions of local residents to protect their neighborhoods.

Without our Camping Ordinance, our small town would be overrun with vacationers and other transients dumping their garbage on our streets and their needles in our yards.

Yes, the Commission needs to come up with a policy that both protects us from illegal camping and establishes rules for short-term parking away from residential neighborhoods.

The solution must respect our right to keep our neighborhoods safe and clean. Thanks Richelle and the other council members who help us protect our community.

WHO’S ON BOARD? Re: “Can Lighthouse Field Be Saved” (GT, 7/6): Thank you for the interesting and informative article on Lighthouse Field and Santa Cruz’s 1970s political history. There was a line that jumped out at me: “nobody except the city council, developers and business leaders

and his story looks at whether—as its critics claim—Prop. 47 is truly broken. Is it contributing to a rising crime rate, as many people believe?

And if it is broken, can it be fixed?

There aren’t a lot of easy answers, but Weir’s story reveals what we actually know, and how different groups like law enforcement, those who have had their sentences reduced because of Prop. 47, and local residents who feel it has made Santa Cruz less safe, are all experiencing the post-47 landscape differently.

Also, a reminder that we are now accepting applications from local nonprofits for the second year of Santa Cruz Gives, our holiday fundraising program.

We’re excited to be working with the Volunteer Center again on this project! Deadline is Sept. 7, go to SantaCruzGives.org/rfp.

wanted construction [at Lighthouse Field].”

With all the talk lately about development along high-density corridors and the “inevitability” of massive growth for our town, I wonder how many of our citizens are on board? Do those of us whose pockets won’t be lined by it want massive growth? I’m all for smart, well-planned changes, but do we have to accept Peter Kennedy, Santa Cruz planning commissioner’s premise that “the city is bound to grow no matter what”? (GT, 4/14) Maybe we need our own ballot measure before deciding to transform into an urban metropolis?

JOY OF BIODIESEL Thanks for the excellent, informative article on the Green Station (“The State of Renewable Fuel,” GT, 7/13). That’s where I fill up. I also work here, because I believe in the fuel and the movement. I drive an early ’80s Mercedes that runs like a dream on biodiesel. There are so many of these cars in Santa Cruz, they must be the best cars ever built. If even half of them ran biodiesel, Green Station would survive. Add in the behemoth diesel trucks contractors, boat haulers and other drivers, and we would thrive.

I’d like to clarify two things from the article. First, we are on the corner of Ocean Street and Soquel Avenue, not Water >8

DIFFERENT TAKE

Rep. Sam Farr has had an illustrious career— protecting the coast, supporting organics and throwing fun parties (or so we hear) at his dazzling coastal retreat house on the Big Sur coast. At 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31, two organic farming groups are jointly hosting a celebration at UCSC’s Hay Barn for a toast to his achievements in the organic sector. The best part? It’s called Farr Out. We’re hoping he just shows up and drops the mic. Visit http:// casfs.ucsc.edu/ for more information.

It takes a lot of hard work to be a great volunteer—work that shouldn’t go unnoticed.

That’s why, every fall, the Be the Difference Foundation honors locals who work to make their community a better place. The Volunteer Center is accepting nominations through Sept. 7 for the annual awards for individuals or businesses that help our community through volunteerism, or groups that make a positive difference with their volunteers. The nomination form is online at scvolunteercenter.org.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will in some sense be an opportunity.

I hope you are not forlorn, shivery, puzzled, or obsessive right now—unless being in such a state will mobilize you to instigate the overdue transformations you have been evading. If that’s the case, I hope you are forlorn, shivery, puzzled, and obsessive. Feelings like those may be the perfect fuel—the high-octane motivation that will launch your personal renaissance. I don’t often offer this counsel, Libra, so I advise you to take full advantage: Now is one of the rare times when your so-called negative emotions can catalyze redemption.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Oh how I wish you might receive the grace of being pampered and nurtured and entertained and prayed for. I’d love for you to assemble a throng of no-strings-attached caretakers who would devote themselves to stoking your healing and delight. Maybe they’d sing to you as they gave you a manicure and massaged your feet and paid your bills.

Or perhaps they would cook you a gourmet meal and clean your house as they told you stories about how beautiful you are and all the great things you’re going to do in the future.

Is it possible to arrange something like that even on a modest scale, Taurus? You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you most need this kind of doting attention— and when you have the greatest power to make it happen.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

I invite you to dream about your true home… your sweet, energizing, love-strong home… the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous… the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots… do maintenance work on your power spot… cherish and foster your sources… and refine the magic that makes you feel free. Can you handle one more set of tasks designed to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies… take care of what takes care of you… and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks. This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You may discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest. There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, destroy those rancid old mental blocks with a bolt of psychic lightning.

AUGUST 24-30, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

It’ll be one of those rapid-fire, adjust-on-the-fly, think-on-your-feet, go-with-your-gut times for you—a head-spinning, endorphin-generating, eye-pleasing, intelligence-boosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate—and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations, pleasant agitation, and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant and amused as you follow the ever-shifting sweet spot.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 At the risk of asking too much and pushing too hard, my Guerrilla Prayer Warriors have been begging God to send you some major financial mojo. These fierce supplicants have even gone so far as to suggest to the Supreme Being that maybe She could help you win the lottery or find a roll of big bills lying in the gutter or be granted a magic wish by an unexpected benefactor. “Whatever works!” is their mantra. Looking at the astrological omens, I’m not sure that the Prayer Warriors’ extreme attempts will be effective. But the possibility that they will be is definitely greater than usual. To boost your odds, I suggest you get more organized and better educated about your money matters. Set a clear intention about the changes you’d like to put in motion during the next ten months.

You may break your previous records for compassionate courage and sensitive toughness. Here’s the best news of all: You’re likely to be dynamic about bestowing practical love on the people and animal and things that are important to you.

Suggested experiments: 1. Take a vow that from now on you won’t hide your beauty. 2. Strike a deal with your inner king or inner queen, guaranteeing that this regal part of you gets regular free expression. 3. Converse with your Future Self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully unleash the refined potency of your emotional intelligence. 4. In meditations and dreams, ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The cosmos seems to be warming up to your charms.

The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach. To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you may have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it is inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you new invitations. Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Are any of your allies acting like they’ve forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them re-focus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Now would be a favorable time to reveal that you are in fact a gay socialist witch who believes good poetry provides a more reliable way to understand reality than the opinions of media pundits—unless, of course, you are not a gay socialist witch, etc., in which case you shouldn’t say you are. But I do advise you to consider disclosing as much as possible of your true nature to anyone with whom you plan to be intimately linked in the future and who is missing important information about you. It’s high time to experiment with being more completely yourself.

Monster Headaches While gamers go crazy for Pokémon Go, it raises concerns about boundaries, privacy and safety BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

T

hrough the looking glass of his smartphone, Chris Perguidi spied an imaginary monster. He pointed his phone at the purple, googly-eyed Tangela, a vine-tangled critter that lurked just beyond his reach in the digital realm of Pokémon Go. The 31-year-old Gilroy-based comic book artist had taken the bus to San Jose, in part to hunt for Pokémon. As he turned the corner downtown, he says, a sun-weathered man and bottleblonde woman across the street began

shouting at him to stop recording them.

“I’m not,” he recalls telling them that late-afternoon of July 27. “I’m playing Pokémon Go. It’s a video game.”

Perguidi kept walking, hoping to dispel their anger by minding his own business. But the couple followed, he says. The woman, still yelling, jaywalked to his side of the street and hurled a water bottle at his head.

Perguidi says he turned to leave.

But the man—a head-shaven, tattedup, ropy-armed roustabout—grabbed

his shoulder, spun him around and swiped at him with a knife.

Perguidi, a trained boxer and wrestler, says adrenaline triggered his fighter’s instinct. He slapped the blade out of the man’s hand as the woman scratched, bit and pummeled his back. The bald man, furtively re-armed with a knife, cocked a closed fist and swung in a leftward arc just as Perguidi tucked his chin.

Blood began pouring out of Perguidi’s face, which had been sliced into what looked like a >13

Kate Downing’s letter on housing affordability was the shot heard around the Bay Area.

In a post that went viral, the Palo Alto Planning and Transportation Commissioner resigned this month because she and her husband, a software engineer, couldn’t afford to buy a decent home in Palo Alto. Instead, to save a little money, Downing, a tech lawyer, announced that she would be moving to …

Santa Cruz?

Seriously, like, for a cheap house?

In the days following her Aug. 9 resignation from the planning commission, Downing has given several interviews to Bay Area news outlets and gotten a huge response, including from residents here.

“I’ve gotten a lot of letters from people in Santa Cruz, actually,” Downing says. “They say something along the lines of, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you know this, but we have a housing crisis here, too.’”

“I definitely do get the sense that Santa Cruz used to be the kind of place that, if you had a minimum wage job, that was enough to get by and go surfing and enjoy life,” she adds. “It sounds like that’s really not the case anymore.

Those people are really struggling now.”

For as much as we stress out about housing costs here in Santa Cruz, the crisis in Palo Alto is just as bad. According to Zillow, the median home price in Palo Alto is $2,514,700, compared to $801,000 in Santa Cruz.

That discrepancy isn’t quite as wide as it first seems, because wages here are less than half of what they are in Palo Alto, according to census data. In Palo Alto, the median household income is 5 percent of the median home price, compared to 7.7 percent in Santa Cruz, which routinely gets listed as one of the least affordable markets in the country.

To make matters worse, affordable housing statewide has been stymied by the fact that local governments all over California are strapped for cash. Most notably, the state government ended redevelopment agency funding in 2011—25 percent of which went toward affordable housing. And a recent court ruling undid “inclusionary housing” rules, like Santa Cruz’s, which for decades required developers to make 15 percent of their units affordable or pay a small fee. Also, some of

The attackers bolted, police came, and an ambulance rushed Perguidi to the hospital, where a doctor sutured his chin gash with 15 stitches.

Perguidi says he wasn’t engrossed to distraction by the game. But the attack became another cautionary tale about the physical dangers of the latest fad keeping people glued to their smartphones.

DANGEROUS GAME?

Cemetery into PokéStops.

PokéStops have similarly drawn stampedes of players not only to notable landmarks, but also to random and occasionally inappropriate places. Niantic somehow marked the Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C. as a PokéStop, which drew hordes of players to a memorial for victims of Nazi genocide. Cemeteries have had to shoo away players for invading what families of those buried there consider sacred spaces.

At pediatric hospitals, too, administrators have implored people to resist gaming around sick kids who may want to play but can’t go outside to catch Pokémon.

Pokémon Go’s reliance on users’ personal information has aroused suspicion from civil rights groups, which point out that Niantic CEO John Hanke is beset by privacy scandals dating back to his tenure at Google Maps. The game also raises questions about the ethics of converting public spaces into private profit centers. Video games have existed for more than four decades, but augmented-reality iterations take things a step further.

“It collapses the distinction between the physical and the virtual,” Alexander Ross, a video game commentator, wrote in a column for Jacobin quarterly. “And through the game’s transactional nature, it abolishes the old boundaries of the marketplace. The public park, the community church, the sprawling college campus, and the open square are all commodified with Pokémon Go’s in-game virtual item economy, which supports a very real corporate one.” >17

NEWS BRIEFS WRITE IN While an exhausting fight drags on between two egomaniacs, each beset by one scandal after another, voters are already getting fed up with a 2016 presidential election that’s still more than two

and a half months away.

Luckily, voters in Santa Cruz County can now turn their attention to the local ballots, which probably have a greater likelihood to make a noticeable difference in their lives.

The 16 mostly regional measures, which were posted to the county’s election site this month, include four on cannabis, three on schools, three on fire fighting and one for a countywide $500 million 30-year sales-tax measure.

Arguments for and against the measures went up last week, and the deadline to file a rebuttal against any argument is Friday, Aug. 26.

Perguidi, who plans to keep playing despite his scrape, will be the first to insist that Pokémon Go—the wildly popular offshoot of the 21-year-old anime franchise—is anything but a deathtrap.

Players in Santa Cruz have been finding electric Pokémon on the wharf, water Pokémon on the nearby beaches and a variety of monsters all over downtown, the Boardwalk and Capitola Village.

Pokémon Go uses geolocation to track players as they move about on a cyber-scavenger hunt for imaginary creatures to catch and train for battle.

Google Maps transforms physical locations into a virtual playing field, with “PokéStops” allowing users to buy in-game goodies such as crittercatching red-and-white orbs called Poké Balls, or duke it out with other players at Pokémon Gyms.

Pokémon Go uses phone cameras to superimpose game elements over a real-world backdrop. Prompts on the map turn public parks, museums, churches, cemeteries, sidewalks and

university campuses into terrestrial hunting grounds for digital prey, which range in rarity.

Time and topography matter.

Aquatic Pokémon like Horsea and Goldeen linger by bodies of water.

Ghostly Pokémon, like Gastly and Gengar, emerge after nightfall.

This fictional domain has clashed with reality in a host of bizarre, amusing and occasionally horrifying ways. Before playing, a warning screen cautions users against playing the game in dangerous areas. Shortly after the game launched in the first week of July, groups of people began exploring places they would never otherwise go—often at odd hours.

Earlier this month, someone fatally shot a 20-year-old college student from San Mateo who was playing the game at a park in San Francisco.

Preceding weeks saw more than a few players stumble upon dead bodies in their quest for new pocket-monsters.

Two brothers in Washington found a .32 Magnum handgun. Ne’er-do-wells have dropped digital Pokémon lures to isolate players and rob them. A budding Pokémon trainer in New York state inspired the no-duh hashtag #DontPokemonAndDrive when he ploughed his brother’s car into a tree in pursuit of a plesiosaur-like Lapras.

Public officials across the state have warned players to be careful and pay attention to their surroundings. A U.S. Department of Justice flier warned of the app’s potential to intensify problems of distracted driving and walking, or children getting lost.

The imagined Poké world ignores cultural context, which is perhaps why developer Niantic Inc. rendered hallowed ground such as New York City’s 9/11 memorial and Arlington National

the city’s affordable housing will expire soon.

Both the city of Santa Cruz and the state legislature have been working on possible fixes, but small governments often struggle to compete with metropolitan areas like Los Angeles for state dollars, says Carol Berg, the housing and community development manager.

“Affordable housing costs money, but it’s all about—are we either able to bring that money or generate that money in the community?” says Berg, who leads periodic tours of the city’s affordable housing developments.

Downing’s letter was a referendum on a city council in Palo Alto that she feels has been, intentionally or not, squeezing people out of town.

In conversation, Downing sounds almost embarrassed that her letter made such an impact when people have been coming to Palo Alto public meetings for months and

saying the same things. The point her letter makes convincingly, though, is that if she and her husband can’t afford to make it there, how can workers in lower-paying sectors?

“We are acutely aware of the fact that the housing shortage in Palo Alto and the surrounding region is affecting places that aren’t even in the Bay Area,” says Downing, who has bought a home on Santa Cruz’s Westside. “We know that people are commuting in from Gilroy and from Tracy and from Sac and from Santa Cruz [to Palo Alto]. We know that’s happening.”

What cities need to do, Downing believes, is adjust zoning requirements and height restrictions to make it less cumbersome for developers to build housing—a viewpoint that has traction among economists nationally.

Enrico Moretti, an economist at UC Berkeley who has been studying the issue, has opined that, in repressing new housing, restrictive zoning laws inhibit growth. More experts have been signing on to that idea, including

economists as prominent and far left as Paul Krugman. Even if all of the housing isn’t affordable, they argue, the new developments still help soak up demand and help keep prices realistic.

Although Downing isn’t yet familiar with Santa Cruz planning, this is a movement that dovetails with the city of Santa Cruz’s 2030 General Plan, a document the City Council approved four years ago that—among other things—calls for increased density on the city’s thoroughfares, like Mission Street and Soquel Avenue. It’s a vision that has begun to take shape in the corridor plan meetings, where community and city leaders have discussed raising height limits and rezoning on certain streets.

Some lifelong Santa Cruz residents, like Sharon Pini of the Branciforte neighborhood, worry about the impact that corridor developments might have on traffic and parking. Many of the tiny studios, she adds,

aren’t anywhere near the price range of most people working in Santa Cruz. “They’re packing us in like sardines,” Pini says.

In a side-by-side comparison, the communities of Palo Alto and Santa Cruz don’t match up perfectly, anyway. Home prices and salaries aside, there’s a number of differences between the two cities. At 2.8 percent, unemployment in Palo Alto is much less than half what it is here, for instance. And Santa Cruz is already denser than Palo Alto and has grown more than twice as fast since 2010.

Berg says there are plenty of factors driving up Santa Cruz rents and home prices, including a tourist economy rife with vacation homes, students at UCSC, and, of course, a decadesold trend of locals commuting out of the county for work.

“It’s one of many factors, including that we live in a beautiful place,” Berg says. “And then you add in the jobs in Silicon Valley.”

Not a week from its July 6 launch, Pokémon Go garnered more active daily users than Twitter and more than $1.6 million a day of in-app purchases in the United States alone.

A month out, the game surpassed $200 million in global revenue.

Nintendo, which claims a 33 percent stake in the franchise and had been grappling with declining game sales, saw its stock double in value since the app stormed into the mobile marketplace. Conceived by Stanford University student Ivan Lee in 2011, and cultivated by Niantic Inc.— headquartered in San Francisco—into a $3.7 billion phenomenon, Pokémon Go stands to become the most popular video game ever.

For businesses or public spaces that depend on walk-in visitors, the sudden surge in foot traffic of gamers trying to fulfill the Pokémon trainer’s edict to “catch ’em all” has been a welcome trend.

Exploring the lush, labyrinthine grounds of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose has become an after-work ritual for Julie Scott, the museum’s executive director of 16 years. After Pokémon Go’s debut last month, she noticed an influx of visitors enjoying the Rose Garden property—guided by their smartphones.

“At first we were like, ‘Wait, what is going on?’” Scott says. “It was very noticeable because it looked like a parade of people walking around in search of something. But they were engaging with each other, and were all so congenial, coming through at all times of day and in the evening.

We were so intrigued.”

Rosicrucian staff discovered that the property turned into a Pokémon hotspot overnight. A rare Hitmonchan, a skirt-clad boxer, hovered within the gardens and drew a number of intrepid trainers, Scott says. One night last week, she says, a girl who must have been about 7 years old and knew everything about Pokémon, brought her dad to the park.

“He says, ‘We had no idea you had this labyrinth here,’” Scott says. “We see a lot of that. People come here for a rare Pokémon, but fall in love with the place.”

The Battle Over 47

BY MAT WEIR

Is there hope for the once-popular reform of drug sentencing laws that is now being blamed for an increase in crime?

P

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 24-30, 2016

ablo Yale doesn’t seem like the tough-on-crime type. But the 40-year-old Cabrillo College grad and longtime Santa Cruz resident says he’s been forced to take a hard look at how Proposition 47 has made the city less safe—and he thinks everyone else should, too.

“My car has been broken into twice in the last year,” says Yale. “The first time was in front of my house, and they threw a beer bottle through the back window. The second time was in front of my girlfriend’s house. Someone smashed the window and grabbed my backpack with my laptop that had all my pictures and videos from my trip to Europe.”

It’s been almost two years since Prop. 47—aka the Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative or the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act—was passed by a wide margin, winning 60 percent of the vote, and put into effect. The new law reduced the sentence for seven nonviolent, “non-serious” crimes, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, including the possession of controlled substances for personal use. It was also retroactive, allowing already incarcerated individuals’ eligibility for release.

But what was once seen as a landmark reform in the criminal justice system—an opportunity to scale back what many saw as draconian sentencing laws for minor drug and other offenses—is facing a growing backlash. Critics say it has led to a rising crime rate, and while they tangle with supporters over the significance of the available numbers, the law is taking a beating in the court of public opinion.

Last October, the Washington Post published an article titled “A ‘Virtual Get-OutOf-Jail-Free Card’” that seemed to galvanize opposition to the new law. In May, antiProp. 47 sentiment grew again when the California Police Chiefs Association issued a press release noting an increase in crime “a year after Proposition 47 resulted in statewide criminal justice reform.” There is now a Facebook page called Overturn Prop. 47 with 13,000 likes.

Locally, there also seems to be a growing perception that Prop. 47 has spurred an increase in crime.

“I’ve seen a decline in general civility in Santa Cruz,” Yale explains. “There are more break-ins. People can’t leave their stuff in their car overnight and there’s more drug use and needles found throughout town.”

SECOND CHANCES As one of the people the law was written to help, Newt Jameson (not his real name) sees Prop.

47 differently. In February 2014, Jameson was arrested on Portola Drive, along with some friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was arrested for possession of a controlled substance,â&#x20AC;? Jameson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a small amount [of heroin], like 20 bucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Schedule 1 drug, so if you have anything on your person, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fucked.â&#x20AC;?

It happened, he explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;during this period of time where I was getting arrested a lot for different stuff, all drug-related. I was estranged from my family and living or staying wherever I could.â&#x20AC;?

Because of his prior convictions, the then-21-year-old panicked and gave the police a fake name. After searching through his bag the officers found an item with his legal name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They probably knew I was loaded, but initially just charged me with falsifying information to a peace officer,â&#x20AC;? he remembers.

Once taken to the station and searched, officers found the narcotic stuffed into Jamesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sock. Unable to afford a private lawyer, Jameson accepted a public defender and quickly checked himself into a Sober Living Environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stopped doing everything by April 2014,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been to jail before and it was no life for me.

There was other stuff I wanted to do.â&#x20AC;?

However, the future didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem too bright for a 21-year-old with a felony arrest record. When Jamesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Defender told him about the passing of Prop. 47, things quickly began to turn around. Now 24 years old, Jameson has been clean for three years. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the same job for over a year, and earned a promotion. An avid musician, Jameson plays in several bands throughout town, all of which he attributes to his new lease on life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damning to have a system that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You have a felony charge, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people are wild when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re younger, but they grow up.

I understand why others would oppose 47, but I think it opens up the possibility for people to change.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my belief that most crime we see [locally] is fueled by drugs and alcohol,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incarceration is not always the best thing for someone going through drug addiction and needing treatment.

We have to give them an opportunity to get better.â&#x20AC;?

TIME IS MONEY When Prop. 47 passed, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) estimated 5,350 people within the system had felony charges for nonviolent offenses and could be resentenced

THE BATTLE OVER 47

At the same time, California prisons were over 200 percent capacity.

They were so full that in the 2011 case Plata vs. Brown, the Supreme Court ruled that the overcrowding violated a prisoner’s Eighth Amendment Rights, and ordered a decrease in prison population to 137.5 percent capacity, or roughly 113,000 individuals.

Immediately following the ruling, Gov. Brown signed Assembly Bill 109.

Also known as prison realignment, AB 109 moved nonviolent, low-level criminals out of state prisons and

Last month, California Attorney General, Kamala D. Harris, released the 2015 Crime In California report, which found that between 2014 and 2015, violent and property crime increased a total of 8.1 and 6.6 percent, respectively.

On a more local level, the 2015 Santa Cruz Police Department’s Annual Report shows a similar trend. Overall crime rose approximately seven percent over the year, with a nine percent increase in property crime, and bicycle theft increase of 19 percent.

“In 2015, the City of Santa Cruz experienced a rise in property crime, driven mainly by increases in burglary, auto thefts, shoplifting and bike thefts,” says SCPD spokesperson Joyce Blaschke via email. “The city also saw some decreases in violent crime.”

Why is the rising crime rate being connected to Prop. 47? Blaschke says one of the major factors that drives the debate over the law is that while drug users may no longer be incarcerated, they aren’t required

by Prop. 47 to undergo treatment, either. That leads to a perception that Prop. 47 is feeding into a cycle

into county jails for the duration of their sentence. By the end of 2013, the legislation had reduced the prison population by 17 percent—a significant amount, but still well under the levels appointed by the Supreme Court.

According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), within the first three months of Prop. 47’s passing, prison population fell below the Court-appointed ruling, to roughly 112,000. This decrease happened a full year before the Court-appointed date.

By September of 2015, 4,454 people serving for nonviolent, nonsexual offenses were released from state prisons. As of a July 31, 2016 report, the CDCR claimed 128,523 individuals in custody with 123,661 of those incarcerated held in-state and 4,860 held in other states.

under the law. According to the California Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the law would save the state at least $100 million annually.

Voters were told these savings would then be distributed into a Safe Neighborhood and Schools Fund (SNSF), created by Prop.

47. According to the plan, 65 percent of the revenue would go toward funding mental health and rehabilitation treatment for offenders, 25 percent would be allocated to public education for grades K-12, and 10 percent to funding for services to the victims of crimes.

However, the biggest problem with Prop. 47 may be that the money for the SNSF has not yet materialized. Not only that, but state bureaucrats are now saying it will be significantly less than originally predicted: Earlier this year, Gov. Jerry Brown’s office announced that instead of $100 million, the savings for 2015-2016 will be $29.3 million.

There is still hope, however: the California Legislative Analyst’s Office published a study concluding that the Governor’s Office report purposefully underestimated the savings and overestimated the cost of Prop. 47 for the latest financial findings. According to its findings, there is a possible discrepancy of $80 million that could possibly still be added to the fund, which would extend savings past the original $100 million mark.

of repeat offenses—and the increase in the type of crimes noted in the SCPD report.

“There is an ongoing conversation in our community regarding Proposition 47 and whether it’s achieving its purported goals, and what it actually means for public safety,” says Blaschke. “One of the unintended consequences includes repeat offenders who go on to offend again. People arrested for drug offenses that are nonviolent are not serving time in jail and not mandated into drug/alcohol treatment for their crimes. Unfortunately, many repeat offenders feed their untreated addictions through the sale of stolen property. It creates a cycle that leads to increased property crime while forcing fewer addicts into treatment. It can be challenging to get addicts who are resistant to participate in drug treatment programs without the threat of prison time.”

While Hart says the latest numbers should indeed be cause for concern, he says they also require some context.

“Over the last 25 to 30 years, crime is at a historical low spot,” he explains. “When you look at burglary rates in 1993 in the unincorporated area, we had about 1,500 residential burglaries, and last year we had about 500. So we’ve seen a huge decrease in that time.”

The CDCR report highlights that

while violent and property crimes have increased recently statewide, they are still lower than 2010 levels, and half that of the rate seen in 1996. It also found that felony arrests in California are down 29 percent while the misdemeanor arrest rate increased by 9 percent.

Among the misdemeanors, almost half of the arrests were alcohol or drug-related.

In October 2015, the “Proposition 47: Progress Report” published by the Stanford Justice Advocacy Project, part of Stanford Law School—found that almost a year after passing, only 159 of the 4,454 state prisoners released under Prop.

47 returned with new crimes—a less-than 5 percent recidivism for Prop. 47 offenders at the state level.

However, Blaschke says this isn’t as surprising as it sounds, due to the reclassification of crimes.

“Prop. 47 reduced crimes that were once felonies down to misdemeanors. Those newly transformed misdemeanor crimes are not punishable by a sentence to state prison,” she says. Because of that, “the state would now have less people sentenced to state prison and recidivating in the system because their crimes are no longer eligible to be sentenced to a term in state prison.”

HOPE FOR 47 “There are a lot of misconceptions about Prop. 47, and one is that it’s

THE BATTLE OVER 47

“It’s damning to have a system that says, ‘You have a felony charge, you’re done. A lot of people are wild when they’re younger, but they grow up. I understand why others would oppose 47, but I think it opens up the possibility for people to change.” -NEWT JAMESON <22 more than 1,600 cases filed under Prop. 47. While this means a lot more work for attorneys like Biggam, he is happy with the positive changes.

“These are our kids,” he says emphatically. “They come from our families, our schools, our neighborhoods. We have a responsibility to deal with them and not just dump them into the CDCR at the taxpayer’s expense.”

As for the data, Sheriff Hart says it is “difficult to make an unemotional, well-thought-out decision. You can’t do that with just a year of data.”

Hart, a 25-year Sheriff’s Office veteran, was—and still is—a proponent of Prop. 47. He played a vital role in creating the Sheriff’s Office’s Custody Alternatives Program (CAP), which offers alternatives to incarceration for low-level offenders, after the 2011 realignment.

“We really need to look at some of the long-term impacts of this law,” Hart says.

Blaschke, too, is cautiously optimistic. “SCPD fully supports the idea of a program that is proven to reduce the number of crime victims and crime incidents in our community,” she says via email. “In order for Prop. 47 to be successful, from our standpoint, we need to see a reduction in the harm to our community.”

a ‘Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free’ card,” says Henry Martin, director for the nonprofit Watsonville Law Center (WLC). “It’s important to understand Prop. 47 isn’t anti-law or anti-law enforcement. Instead, it applies the law fairly.”

Over the last year, the WLC has conducted three free information clinics for individuals interested in reducing their convictions under the proposition. Martin estimates the WLC has screened 200 people so far, but admits most people in the county go through the Public Defender’s Office.

“Prop. 47 was desperately needed,” he says. “We need to use the jails and prisons as they were intended: to separate people who are violently dangerous to the community.”

Santa Cruz County Public Defender Larry Biggam sees the legislation similarly.

“We should save prison, which is expensive, for people who really deserve it,” Biggam says. “Not put people in there who don’t threaten public safety. We shouldn’t put people in there just because we’re mad at them. It’s expensive real estate.”

In March, the Mercury News reported California has the sixth highest annual cost in the nation at $47,421 per inmate, most of which is spent on facilities and security.

Virginia Woolf’s ‘Orlando’ spans five centuries and shatters gender stereotypes BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

love letter to the reinvention of the Self— Orlando—tops off the inaugural season of Santa Cruz Shakespeare. Oh, the cunning of this choice to run alongside the

gossamer mindgames of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the gender transformations of Hamlet’s newly feminized leading role. In a parallel universe with Kate Eastwood Norris’ evolving Hamlet, Orlando scampered

its opening-night way across a brisk two and-a-half hours of playful questioning and time tripping.

Tempting as it might be to describe this frisky entertainment as a funny feminist fable, it is much

more. Peering into the cultural future, Virginia Woolf (and her accomplice, playwright Sarah Ruhl) envisioned nothing less than the permeability of all genders and species, mutually inflecting >28

Our version of Tennessee Williams’s masterpiece features live music to transport you to the steamy, post-WWII French Quarter of New Orleans. The fragile Southern Belle Blanche DuBois, exiled from her hometown in Mississippi, is on a desperate prowl for a place in the world to call her own. She arrives on her sister’s doorstep, where an electrifying battle of wills soon ignites with her working class brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski.

His primal brutishness both repel and intrigue her — even as he threatens to reveal her darkest secrets and destroy her illusions.

each other. Even for those who haven’t read the great and funny bio-novel by Woolf, the play is legible throughout. The young and talented troop of SCS interns moves us swiftly through five centuries of musings and wildly romantic wanderings on the part of a young aristocrat who finds himself swept through time. An actor’s dream! Orlando’s progress is tracked by the gleeful actors—having fun changing costumes, accents, and genders throughout the fastpaced production. Never was crossdressing so justified, nay required!

In her adaptation of the book, Ruhl has plucked key scenes from each of the centuries propelling Orlando ever forward toward “the present moment.” Each of the five short episodes evokes the spirit of its own age, and at breakneck speed.

In the 16th century, young Orlando is chosen—for his shapely legs—to be the favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, played with disco drag flourish (and a costume to match) by a confident Carson McCalley.

In the next century, Orlando falls for mercurial Russian tomboy Sasha, played with scene-chewing swagger

by Mayadevi Ross. Next comes an odyssey to Persia to forget love gone wrong, during which our hero wakes from a deep sleep only to discover that he has become … a she! So it is as a blushing socialite in ruffled skirts that Orlando greets the 18th century.

Epiphanies follow. Orlando still possesses the memories and behavior of her time as a man, yet fleshed out in an emotionally ripe woman’s body.

It is in the 19th century that she falls in love with her true soul mate, the deliciously named Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine (Christian Strange), a sea captain unafraid to weep. All is as incomprehensible as it is spellbinding. Virginia Woolf peels

away the binary stereotypes of male/ female and then, as the play plunges into the 20th century, uncovers the myriad identities we each enact throughout our lives. Brilliant insights—we are many selves, and they are many gendered to boot— hang lightly on the shoulders of these hard-working actors.

Every player is terrific, as is the mutating “set” constructed by the actors’ bodies and a few props here and there. But, for my money, the major duomo of the play is the delectable Daniel Fenton Anderson, whose substantive body of English and impeccable timing keep everything moving crisply. Remarkable chops.

The lion’s share of the movement fell to the lovely/handsome Sarah Pidgeon as Orlando, who is called to stomp, flail, coo, storm, flirt, skate, and swoon her way through five centuries’ worth of revelations, personal as well as cultural. As the fluctuating “chorus,” the entire company takes turns narrating, as well as performing, the action we watch and hear.

With over-the-top wordplay and inventive DIY costuming, the actors move the fantasy in and out of dreaminess and slapstick. Ruhl uses this technique masterfully and we feel as if we are both reading, watching, and joining the action Woolf imagines.

If Ruhl’s adaptation captures the feistiness but just misses the deep magic, well, for that, we have Virginia Woolf’s book itself.

I can think of no more perfect finale for this season’s suite of plays than the all-too-short Fringe run of Orlando. The final performance is Wednesday, Aug. 24, and if you can’t find a ticket then read the book with Norris’ Hamlet in mind. santacruzshakespeare.org.

‘Bad’ Education The defining band of L.A. punk X, digs deep into its catalog as frontman John Doe documents their scene BY STEVE PALOPOLI

B

y the 1980s, rock musicians were taking themselves way too seriously when it came to politics. Despite all the excruciating earnestness, the handful of truly great political anthems to come out of that decade were the complete opposite: brutally sarcastic and defiantly hard to categorize, as if subverting musical genres would intensify the message of resistance.

Yet they were all, in one way or another, punk rock: the Dead Kennedy’s “Stars and Stripes of Corruption” (six and a half minutes on a punk record!), Mojo Nixon’s “Burn Down the Malls” (I still am not totally convinced he was joking), Fela Kuti’s “I.T.T. (International Thief

Thief)” (his best and most vicious song since 1977’s “Zombie”), and X’s “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts.”

The latter is almost indescribable, but it’s worth a shot: at the end of side one of the famous Los Angeles punk band’s strangest album, 1983’s More Fun in the New World, the song opens like some kind of lounge number. Lead singers John Doe and Exene Cervenka, who made their reputations shredding their vocal cords on their first two albums of powerful punk rock, 1980’s Los Angeles and 1981’s Wild Gift, harmonize in a near-whisper for the entire first verse, before the song suddenly speeds up and roars through a chorus, then goes quiet-loud-quiet until it

ends on what is basically a drum solo.

It’s a perfectly disorienting backdrop for lyrics like: “I'm guilty of murder/Of innocent men, innocent women, innocent children/Thousands of them/My planes, my guns, my money, my soul/My blood on my hands/It's all my fault/I must not think bad thoughts.”

It’s one of X’s best songs; unfortunately, the fact that it doesn’t fit in with the short, propulsive attacks of other fan favorites like “Los Angeles,” “We’re Desperate” and “Johnny Hit and Run Pauline” means it has been left off of their set lists for years.

On this tour, however, that’s going to change, says Doe, who formed the band in 1977 with then-

girlfriend Cervenka on shared vocals, rockabilly refugee Billy Zoom on guitar and D.J. Bonebrake on drums. Despite breakups (both the personal and professional kind), temporary departures, hiatuses and two reunions, the original lineup is intact, though it’s been added to for the band’s new experiment.

“We’ve added another member, Craig Packham—he plays acoustic guitar on a couple songs, he plays drums on a few songs. So D.J. will play vibes on a few songs, Billy plays sax on a couple songs. We’re playing numbers that we never played because they were too complicated.”

These deeper cuts include not only “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts,” but also Leadbelly cover “Dancing With Tears in My Eyes” from the band’s third album, 1982’s Under the Big Black Sun. “We also do straight-up punk rock like X has always done,” says Doe. “It’s a little bit broader and wider, it’s a little more of a three-dimensional show. We started doing it because we were getting offers to play performing arts centers and things like that, and it just seemed weird to play full-on punk rock at these venues where people were sitting down.”

Opening the show will be longtime X compatriot Mike Watt, whose former band the Minuteman is name-checked in “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts.”

Watt also wrote a chapter in Doe’s new book about the L.A. punk scene, Under The Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk. So did Dave Alvin of the Blasters, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos, Henry Rollins of Black Flag, Robert “El Vez” Lopez of the Zeros, TSOL’s Jack Grisham and several others. Including, of course, Cervenka, who has published several books of poetry herself. Working with her on the book wasn’t a whole lot different than working with her in the band, Doe says.

“We’re partners, artistic partners.

That’s pretty rare, and I think we’re both really grateful for the fact that we like each other still,” he says.

“Exene’s was the chapter that I didn’t really need her to expand on, because it was so economical and like a long poem, even though it’s obviously not.

It just seemed perfect.”

STRONG LANGUAGE Universal Language performs Friday, Aug. 26 at Moe’s Alley.

Local favorites Universal Language make a long-overdue return to Moe’s Alley BY AARON CARNES

I

n the mid-2000s, world-beat ensemble Universal Language ruled the local scene. In 2005, they were headlining major local venues, released their sole album, Revolución, and had a feature headlining spot on Reggae On The River. They were spontaneously joined on stage at that festival by rapper/ reggae artist Michael Franti, who freestyled with them for ten minutes.

“I didn’t see him on the side or anything. He was just there. I had never met him in person till I was on stage with him. That was awesome,” recalls singer Moshe Vilozny.

But not long after this incredible moment, Universal Language

splintered, with some members moving out of town, and others moving on to other projects. The band never broke up, but they stopped playing.

This Friday, the original sevenpiece takes the stage for one show at Moe’s. It’ll be the first show Universal Language has played in eight years, and the first time the original seven have shared the stage in ten.

“It’s special and it’s a big deal, and we’re only doing it for one show.

That’s the only event to catch us at,” Vilozny says.

Excitement among the members is high—Universal Language was a fun band for not just the audience,

but also for the band members themselves. The group fused many elements together into one big dance explosion: Latin, reggae, funk, rap and Afro-cuban. They were all over the map, and even sang in three languages: English, Spanish, and Hebrew. There wasn’t anything like it in Santa Cruz’s thriving live scene at the time.

“It’s a fun band to play in because we’re not pigeonholed into a certain category where people expect just one thing. We can do whatever we want, have fun and nobody’s bored or feels like they have to do just this one thing,” Vilozny says.

In addition to the strong Latin

rhythms, and a fun party vibe, Universal Language sang songs with strong political messages. Some, like “Baila,” were lighthearted dance tunes, but others addressed serious political issues. What made them truly unique is that they address very specific global political issues. “It was world music for world peace,” Vilozny says.

Since everyone brought their own background into the band, there was a lot of ground to cover. For instance, David “El Pacha” Alvarez, who was from San Cristobal, Mexico, discussed the Zapatista movement on “Revolución,” which he co-wrote with Vilozny. “Colorblind,” which was written by Vilozny, discusses the tension between Israelis and Palestinians—an important issue for him, as his family is Israeli.

The group formed in 2003, originally just Vilozny and Alvarez.

The two met in Santa Cruz, shortly after Alvarez moved up from Mexico.

Soon Vilozny invited longtime friend Ethan Sanchez to join on the upright bass. The first gigs were acoustic and intimate. The rest of the band built up over the course of about six months. By the end of 2003, they were a full world-beat explosion of a live band, and drawing well in town.

“Even when it was a small band, people were dancing. It was on the same train. It just kind of got thicker and thicker over the years,” Vilozny says.

By the time the group stopped playing, they were still top draws in the area. Vilozny has been clear the past decade that Universal Language didn’t break up, but were on the back burner. “We did a lot of good stuff. It got to a certain point, I felt satisfied.

I felt like this is what this experience is. I could get my music out to people and have it appreciated. I felt satisfied, and ready to focus on my family,” Vilozny says.

These days, folks can see little pieces of Universal Language all over Santa Cruz’s music scene. Vilozny has a solo act. Pianist Gianni Staiano plays in 7 Come 11. Guitarist Renzo Staiano is in LeVice. Trumpet player Jon Cavanaugh plays in Flor De Caña.

The show this Friday is a rare step back into their glory days of the mid-2000s, but hopefully it won’t be the last time they get together.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SAMBADÁ

Local Afro-Brazilian collective SambaDá is known for its captivating music and magnetic energy. The group has performed all over the country, from the Kennedy Center to Soledad State Prison. At a recent festival in Carson City, for example, they had a crowd of thousands dancing from the first song.

“Whatever I asked them to do, they did it,” recalls lead singer Dandha Da Hora. “You know, ‘Put your hands in the air, get low to the ground, cross back and forth sideways.”

AUGUST 24-30, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Eliciting audience participation through communal choreography is typical SambaDá style. “The audience may not understand the [Portuguese] lyrics, but the beat touches them,” Da Hora said. “We feel the reaction of our audience, the human connection. When we perform, we have this amazing possibility to offer healing through music. Music is universal, a tool for communication and for transformation.”

42

In light of the current political and social climate, the band feels that spreading their message is more important than ever: “A lot of the music we play is rooted in black culture, whether it’s AfroBrazilian culture or African American culture or Senegalese music,” explains multi-instrumentalist Anne Stafford.

“During our shows, Dandha always says something about the Black Lives Matter movement. Music can open people’s hearts in a different way than words can.

It breaks down barriers. So when we talk about the issues, we’ve already got people in this open space, where they’re not as defensive.” KATIE SMALL INFO: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25.

Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. Free. 476-4560.

LEFTOVER CUTIES

WEDNESDAY 8/24 BLUEGRASS

DAVE HOLODILOFF A hot-picking bluegrass mandolin player and composer, Dave Holodiloff is one of a new breed of roots musicians moving traditional roots sounds into new realms, including jazz, rock, experimental, Gypsy swing, reggae and jam. The genre-bending mastery of Holodiloff and his ace sidemen is paired with a playfulness that is lighthearted and disarming. Called the “hardest working musician in Monterey” by the Monterey County Weekly, Holodiloff is one of the understated musical gems of the area. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $12/adv, $15/door. 335-2800.

INDIE-JAZZ

LEFTOVER CUTIES On Leftover Cuties’ website there’s a photo that depicts the quartet walking away from the camera with dramatic flair, armed with instruments: trumpet, ukulele, banjo, etc. It’s kind of funny, and it really sums them up—there is something incredibly

whimsical about Leftover Cuties, and the band’s throwback to the golden age of old-timey jazz. But man, do they have some melancholy lyrics. Nowhere else is this better exemplified than on the song they’re best known for, “Game Called Life,” which was the theme song to Showtime’s The Big C. “Is this some kind of a joke, will someone wake me up soon? And tell me this was just a game we played, called life?” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 8/25 ROOTS/ROCK

WAYBACKS Bay Area band the Waybacks has a long tradition of filtering classic rock albums through progressive bluegrass— where they are smoothed out, twanged up, sometimes slowed down, and given a deep roots groove. And their fans love them for it. We get to hear songs by the Rolling Stones, Eagles and the like— that have become bland due to overexposure—with fresh ears. We get to chill out and relax in our chairs rather than rocking and rolling our heads off down in front, and we get to trip down

Memory Lane accompanied by sweet melodies, eclectic instrumentation and tight musicianship. And that’s just the cover songs. The band also has a deep catalog of original roots jams that span genres and styles. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 8/26 WORLD BRASS

RED BARAAT A unique blend of jazz, Indian Bhangra music, go-go beats, hiphop, funk and traces of cumbia, Red Baraat is an eight-piece brass band from Brooklyn. The group’s intense, energetic live shows have earned it the title “best party band in years” from NPR. The collective’s signature instruments include two full drum kits, the double-headed South Asian dhol drum and a sousaphone. In 2012, the band’s second album debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music charts, propelling the members onto a nonstop three-year world tour that included performances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Monterey Jazz Festival, and appearances made on

behalf of the White House, TED and the Olympic Games. KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 429-4135.

SATURDAY 8/27 POP In the 1980s, a Monterey-based band called the Medflys was one of the biggest names on the Central Coast music scene. Blending the era’s trademark synth-pop sound with ska, New Wave and a healthy dose of silliness, the Medflys held “Best Local Band” honors for years, regularly toured with the Tubes, and shared stages with some of the biggest bands of the day, including Joan Jett, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oingo Boingo and the Violent Femmes.

Their standout track was “Don’t Mess With The Mayor,” a spaghetti-Western-inspired tribute to Clint Eastwood’s 1986 mayoral stint in Carmel. On Saturday, the band hits Moe’s for a rare reunion performance. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

SOUL

OTIS Otis is no tribute band. It’s inspired by the dynamic sounds of Stax, and, more generally, the soulful sound of Memphis in the 1960s. Even their name is a nod to the great Otis Redding. But they do their own tunes, and they do them well. This San Francisco four-piece is comprised of seasoned musicians; sometimes the group plays as an instrumental soul outfit, other times they are the backing band for whatever soul singer they bring with them. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

JAZZ

TAMMY SCHIFFER & ELSA NILSSON Tammy Schiffer and Elsa Nilsson are both gifted cutting-edge performers in the outer realms of modern jazz.

Schiffer is a composer and vocalist, Nilsson is a flutist and also a composer.

Now they are embarking on a short Northern California tour together, and

Santa Cruz is fortunate enough to be the final stop on this short little jaunt. They plan to rework some Joni Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix tunes, and play some of their original songs. Expect them to take you to new heights with the creative use of looping pedals. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Bocci’s Cellar, 140 Encinal St., Santa Cruz. Free. 427-1795.

MONDAY 8/29 JAZZ VOCALS

PAULA WEST Bob Dylan and David Bowie, Irving Berlin and Kurt Weill, Papa Charlie Jackson and Hank Williams—they’re all grist for the velvety mill of Paula West’s sumptuous voice. A jazz singer who makes an eclectic repertoire sound like each disparate song was written with her in mind, West is at her best using sly phrasing to reveal unexpected depths and intimations in a lyric. In a region brimming with exceptional singers, she continues to stand out as one of the very best. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $27/adv, $32/door. 427-2227.

INFO: 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park, 144 School St., Santa Cruz. Free/$10 tasting kits. 429-1840. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1 to find out how you could win a pair of festival tasting kits.

FILM

GOOD OLD BOY Logan Lerman plays a 1951 college sophomore in ‘Indignation,’ adapted from a novel by Philip Roth.

Discomfort Zone AUGUST 24-30, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Airless exposition, lack of resonance cause dramatic ‘Indignation’ in Philip Roth adaptation BY LISA JENSEN

48

W

hat’s a nice Jewish boy doing in a movie like this? The answer is that the often squirm-inducing Indignation is adapted from a novel by Philip Roth, in whose work nice Jewish boys are often cast far out of their comfort zones and into the wide, treacherous world. Roth published the book in 2008, but the story looks back in anguish at the bad old days of social repression and paranoia in 1951.

The movie was written and directed by James Schamus, a veteran screenwriter and producer making his feature directing debut. Schamus is absolutely meticulous in recreating the stifling miasma of conformity closing in on the young protagonist, who leaves his hometown of Newark, New Jersey, for a fearsomely staid

and homogenous Midwestern college.

The challenges awaiting him there are extreme—sexual, spiritual and intellectual. But there’s nothing transcendent in this familiar story, not enough of a spark that would make it worth the long slog it takes to get where it’s going.

Logan Lerman stars as Marcus Messmer. A college sophomore, straight-A student, and only child who works summers in his father’s kosher butcher shop, Marcus decides to transfer away from home to an idyllic but conservative college in Winesburg (yes, Winesburg, Ohio, American lit fans). His increasingly paranoid dad is convinced his son is hanging out with hoodlums (he’s not), and will come to no good out in the world.

Dorm life is unfortunate for Marcus: one roomie is sort of a

lump, the other one keeps making goo-goo eyes at him, and the only campus fraternity that accepts Jews is hounding him to pledge, while Marcus prefers a quiet life of study.

Worse, every student, regardless of faith, is required to spend at least 40 Sundays a term at morning chapel as a requirement of graduation— and, yes, roll-call is taken—which Marcus, an avowed atheist, resents.

Pretty soon, smarmy, odious, passive-aggressive Dean Caudwell (Tracy Letts) is literally breathing down his neck, demanding to know why Marcus doesn’t “fit in.” And, the wages of not fitting in are dire indeed: his college deferment is the only thing standing between Marcus and the Korean War. Letts may remind some viewers of the bygone character actor Edward Andrews, and his sense

of overpowering menace fills the screen like the Blob—especially in the claustrophobic scene when he interrogates Marcus in his office.

But, like so many of the scenes setting up Marcus in opposition to college life, this one feels interminable, grinding on long past its expiration date. These airless segments are effective at first, but counter-productive as they slide into monotony. That we are made to feel so keenly how completely squelched young Marcus is by the dark forces of repressive conformity doesn’t make it any less grueling to sit through—or any more enlightening.

Meanwhile, Marcus has a close encounter with blonde patrician Olivia (Sarah Gadon), the typically beautifulbut-damaged dream girl of generations of literary male fantasies. Olivia exists in the story to confound Marcus with her sexual experience, sending him into long-winded attempts at psychoanalysis that slow things down even more. They share two or three scenes that are a little embarrassing, not because they’re too erotic (they’re not), but because they’re so stilted, in a weirdly antiseptic way. It doesn’t help that there’s so little genuine feeling generated between the actors or their characters in these supposedly key moments.

This is the final, fatal problem with the movie (beyond the consistently flat dialogue and protracted dramatic set-ups).

Despite occasional (brief) flashes of resistance, when a personality threatens to surface, Marcus is so passive, he’s practically inert. Things happen to him, followed by long, navel-gazing monologues or voiceovers about the moral implications.

But we never connect to him as an individual to care about; he’s a stick figure created to bear the brunt of all the angst directed at the outsider in an unforgiving social order.

And without that investment in the character, the movie never rises above the level of mere indignity, instead of the tragedy it tries to convey.

INDIGNATION **1/2 With Logan Lerman, Sarah Gadon, and Tracy Letts. Written and directed by James Schamus. From the novel by Philip Roth. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated R. 110 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK good and so abundant that even after sharing with my companion, I had a healthy portion to take home.

“It seemed like a no-brainer,” was Cocking’s comment when I praised the burger sans bun. Here is the ultimate burger for those who really just want to dive into the meat (if you take my meaning) and leave those filling carbs behind.

The coffee was as bracing as ever. It was a perfect lunch. Iced tea, coffee, sensational olives, trout salad, and a robust designer burger. Electronica be damned, lunch like this is the best revenge. On the spot, we decided to make lunch at Gabriella part of our midday To Do list every week.

REVOLVING DOOR

Gabriella adds ‘no-brainer’ bun substitution, plus a new cocktail destination BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

’ve just had the perfect summertime lunch. Always cozy, chic, and brimming with fresh ideas, Gabriella Cafe in downtown Santa Cruz delivered the culinary remedy for a particularly stressful day. Our electronic devices were dysfunctioning, bigtime.

Determined to raise our spirits, we gave up and headed for Gabriella, where über host Paul Cocking shared tales of the city (Manhattan) with us while taking our orders. Our moods were lifting already.

The menu included the ultimate grass-fed Gorgonzola cheeseburger, with choices. You can either have your fat beef patty—slathered with

bacon, Gorgonzola, and caramelized onions—on a sesame bun or wrapped up in a pale green cloud of butter lettuce ($15). My choice was clear: butter lettuce, please. Brilliant.

My companion ordered the always life-affirming Idaho trout salad ($19), along with a tall glass of soothing ginger green tea. For me, a cafe presse pot of strong coffee. Out came a plate of those addictive spicy Castelvetrano olives and a portion of soft, fragrant focaccia.

Once our huge lunch plates arrived, the morning of computer glitches dissolved entirely to sparkling flavors of fresh trout filet on tender inner leaves of baby

Yes, you can now have a cocktail at Soif. The mighty restaurant and wine emporia has graciously expanded its liquid legacy to include state-ofthe-art libations containing spirits.

In addition to all of the classics, look forward to artisanal rye, whiskies and gins, plus innovative signature surprises. The expanding wall of rare, aged, and hard-to-pronounce amari liqueurs has already got our number.

romaine, arugula, cucumbers and zest of carrots. Perfumed with tarragon, a vibrant dressing added nuanced zing to the wonderful dish.

My burger reclined on a pillow of butter lettuces. Cooked to my exact specs—between rare and medium rare—the beef was juicyness incarnate, topped with bacon good enough to turn a vegan, a sweet toasty blanket of caramelized onions, and Gorgonzola. With each bite I recalled the best burgers of summer, any summer. Ketchup?

Absolutely-Italian Mutti ketchup, which managed to taste exactly like ketchup with an Italian accent. It was a great choice—unbelievably

The Buttery Bakery has—gasp— changed hands. Few details, as yet, are verifiable about the low-profile transition, but we are told that expansion of the interior premises is in the works. All I can say is thank you, Janet Platin, for many years of amazing food, sumptuous pastries and exceptional coffee—and the greatest carrot cake cupcake on the planet. Stay tuned.

SANTA CRUZ'S Original Microbrewery Tour

Aptos spot offers Italian cuisine that won’t break the bank BY AARON CARNES

W

ho doesn’t love a nice leisurely Italian dinner on a Friday night after a long week of work? But what about the rest of the week, or when you don’t have the time (or the money) for that kind of experience? The owners of the new Little Owl in Aptos want to provide fine homemade Italian food for those looking for a quick, inexpensive meal any day of the week. We spoke with Matt Walthard, the director of operations, who told us all about this different approach.

MATT WALTHARD: It’s a casual dining concept. Essentially what we’re shooting for is the really casual eatery, the kind of place you can go to on a Wednesday or a Tuesday and not break the bank, and have excellent food with top-notch ingredients.

Everybody is trying to save money and pay their mortgages. Doing the full-service operation really takes the price point up. We want to be able to deliver the same quality food,

but also keep it at a palatable price point. Everything about it should really make it very streamlined. On a Wednesday night, you don’t want to have a two-hour meal. You want to eat and go.

What’s your pizza style?

It’s very Neapolitan. It’s done on a wood-fired pizza oven. It runs at about 750 degrees on average. We spend about an hour and a half preheating the oven. The dough we make in-house. We use the “00” flour— extra virgin olive oil, salt, yeast, water. That’s it. Then we allow it to slowly ferment for another four-toseven days. That’s really where it’s at its peak performance. They’re not made to be like Round Table, where you have mounds of toppings. We try to keep it to three-to-four excellent ingredients that we feel pair really well together, then just bake them off to perfection. They should have a little pillow-y-ness inside, a nice crust on the outside, a crunch as you bite into it. I really think our pizzas are phenomenal. littleowlitaliankitchen.com.

Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant 2011, ‘Red Wine of the Earth,’ travels far and wide BY JOSIE COWDEN

I

well remember the first time I had a glass of Le Cigare Volant—many moons ago in the Bay View Hotel’s restaurant in Aptos. Waiting for friends who were half an hour late, my irritation melted away as I sipped on a glass of this luscious red wine made

by Bonny Doon Vineyard’s avant-garde winemaker Randall Grahm. Sitting in the atrium part of the restaurant as the sun was going down, I had time to absorb the wine’s intricate nuances.

And Grahm continues to produce his simply fabulous Cigare Volant—the 2011 being no exception.

Five of us gathered for dinner in Sanderlings Restaurant at Seascape Beach Resort and ordered Le Cigare Volant “Red Wine of the Earth” ($40). One of my British friends, who has a business in the center of London, immediately recognized the wine as one he enjoys at his home in England. Kudos to Grahm for exporting his elixirs far and wide and being globally recognized.

“No woofer this wine,” it says on the label of the 2011 Cigare Volant, “we feel that it is quite a stellar accomplishment.”

And once you have tasted this

delicious blend of 37 percent Mourvedre, 34 percent Grenache, 20 percent Syrah, and 9 percent Cinsault, I think you will agree.

I can only suggest that you head to Bonny Doon’s tasting room in the lovely town of Davenport to try Le Cigare Volant—and all the rest of Grahm’s edgy wines.

YOUNG AT HEART PROJECT

Discretion Brewing is always a lively spot to visit, and the food is excellent. I stopped by recently for a couple of beers, since 20 percent of all beer sales that day were going to the Young at Heart Project. I’d never heard of the YAHP until a friend, who had just joined the board, invited a group of people for beer and food at Discretion in Soquel.

YAHP provides live professional musical performances to seniors and disabled people residing in convalescent homes. For more information or to donate, visit youngat-heart.org or call YAHP president Elizabeth Seman at 408-800-8117.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES BURNING MAN, MERCURY RETROGRADE Burning Man—the nine-day desert art community on the playas of Black Rock City, Nevada—begins Sunday, Aug. 28 and ends Monday, Sept. 5. The formation of this temporary society is based on “radical self-reliance and self-expression” within the context of art, community and cooperation, a new social structure. As the old society falls away, we will seek community, places of refuge based on this experiment. Everything that occurs is created by its citizens. Everyone participates. It’s an experiment. The theme for 2016 is “Da Vinci’s Workshop,” inspired by the Italian Renaissance, when Ray 3 (divine intelligence), Ray 5 (concrete and scientific knowledge) and Ray 7 (anchoring a new template, rhythm, new archetypes of living), streamed into the Earth, creating artistic and scientific innovation and an enlightenment that led Europe out of the Dark Ages.

The Renaissance was a revolutionary cultural

movement. Science and art flourished, especially in Florence, Italy. An example of Renaissance art is Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” (1480).

Burning Man 2016 “attempts to become the epicenter of the new present-day Renaissance.” Its hero is Leonardo da Vinci, creator of “Vitruvian Man”—head, arms and feet outstretched, representing the five-pointed star of Venus.

Appropriately, as Burning Man looks to the past, Mercury retro begins, stationing at 29 degrees Virgo (early morning Tuesday, Aug. 30). What does this mean? The “new Renaissance” at Black Rock will have unusual turnabouts and surprises. Mercury retro is heyoka, the trickster, contrarian, medicine man, healer—functioning upside down and inside out, posing questions and zen koans so we see things differently. Mercury retro is perfect for Burning Man: looking back to the future.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

All work environments, both home and professional, will feel cluttered and disorganized. They will call you to order and organization. There will be changes in scheduling and routines. There is no routine in Mercury retro times. Mercury retro doesn’t allow it because things are supposed to be different, upside down and sideways. Careful with communication, for it doesn’t work well either—not in the usual way. Nothing will be safe, nothing predictable. Play with it.

I like to write about Libra, a social sign (out and about), my rising and my daughter’s Sun sign. It’s always about balance, poise, beauty and Right Relations. However, this month all these virtues become veiled. Mercury whisks Libra behind the scenes into the depths of religion and psychology, offering messages from the underworld, overworld … somewhere. And dreams are the result.

Libra, you’re not alone. Create an altar.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Your usual creative energy will withdraw inward for a while. Remember all that you did as a child. Remember what you liked and didn’t like. Remember what you did for pleasure, for comfort. What art did you offer others? How curious were you? It’s a good time to be with children, to gather groups for art, dance, painting, theatre, crafts nights. Someone from the past reappears. Uh oh.

So you want to be with friends, especially those from the past. There’s something special from the not-too-distant past that you long for, think about, pine away for. It’s not just desire, it’s actually need. And so you must take the time to revisit and discover if returning is the right move.

Don’t move yet. Only visit. Allow no misunderstandings to go unattended. Goals, dreams, hopes, wishes need serious consideration.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Things might be, should be (are they?) happening in your home. Mercury retrograding through your home (foundation) brings up the idea of roots, childhood, thought patterns and belief learned while young. St. Paul’s saying comes to mind: “When a child, I thought like a child.” How are your thoughts different now? While pondering this question, rearrange the furniture, kitchen, garage and yard, too.

There’s work from the past—a job or business or promises or promotion—that must be tended to. You’re a leader. A leader’s gifts are leading with will, love and patience. Is there a job you need to reapply for?

Something you must do again? Mercury retro helps you reconsider career and make contact with important people. “Contact releases love.” And direction.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Everything concerning travel, communication, learning, talking, cars, driving, trips, appointments and plans may go into a state of confusion for you. Mercury retro makes everything topsy-turvy, not understood, changed, sometimes difficult. It calls everyone to do things over again, but in a different way. All those “r” words come into play: rewrite, renew, review, re … everything.

You might be thinking of a place you would like to (re)visit. You might think about studying something, returning to school, completing a course. You may be confronted with aspects of truth, morals and ethics. It’s good to review what your truths morals and ethics are.

As we enter Aquarius, the new laws and principles of the Aquarian Age become our new morals and ethics. Watch your step when walking.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Values, resources, finances, money and more money.

It’s good to create a Values Journal. Title: “This is What I Value.” Write your values in it every day. What is the situation with your income? Shifting to the Soul’s questions, how is your life energy? What are your spiritual values? What in life do you truly seek? Do you feel you are of value to the world? Are you tithing?

Check all legal financial papers—bank accounts, insurance, loans, mortgage or car payments. Is anything due? Pay bills on time. Make sure when sharing resources that everyone receives their fair share. Be sure too of a proper balancing of energies when helping others. Don’t overdo, overexert, overtax or overheat.

Drink lots of pure water, purifying and cleansing.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

There will be a re-thinking and re-assessment concerning your self-image—the image you see in the mirror and the image you project to the world. Virgo likes to be impeccable with speech and communication, plans and organization. However, Mercury, Virgo’s ruler, has other plans. Words aren’t available, perceptions may be skewed, all reflections will not be remembered when Mercury turns direct. Virgo, forget everything and just have fun.

When marrying, we promise to honor the other in sickness or health, good times and bad. We promise to respect the other and help them “till death do us part.” Commitments we make usually in the throes of emotional passions and desire. As Mercury retro passes through your relationship/marriage house, you may want to re-negotiate those vows. Adding to them by loving more, giving more, promising more. Just don’t get married. Not yet. These words apply to all relationships.

Wine Pairing

The 2010 Chateau La Gorre has a very attractive bouquet with lively, vivacious black cherries, boysenberry and crushed stone that is well defined and opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. The acidity is crisp and the finish tense, with hints of graphite on the finish. This is a well-crafted Cru Bourgeois Reg 22.99, Now 13.99, 90 Points Robert Parker!

MARY JO ROSE, 18-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Corporate communications Hobbies: Yoga, running on the beach, home decorations, cooking, playing with my dog Astrological Sign: Gemini ROY VASCONCELLOS, 39-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Conductor Hobbies: Barbecuing, exercise, home improvement/yard work, Astrological Sign: Capricorn What do you greatly enjoy about Shopper’s Corner? MARY JO: “I love flirting with the butchers, chatting and laughing with the checkers, and tormenting Jim (Beauregard)!” ROY: “The marinated skirt steak — I sometimes tell visiting guests it’s my own recipe! Oh, and their pre-seasoned meatloaf is amazing; we’ve created “midtown meatloaf” for Tuesday nights.” MARY JO: “Much of the produce is local so it’s always fresh. I like that Jim supports so many of the county’s businesses.”

ROY: “Shopper’s is easy. They always have enough check stands open so there are never lines.” MARY JO: “It’s like I’m with family when I’m here. When people are handling your food, you want to feel their love. I feel it.”

What’s your opinion on Shopper’s quality and pricing?

ROY: “You get what you pay for here — good value and quality. I don’t see Shopper’s as expensive.” MARY JO: “Shopper’s is very affordable, actually. Some people perceive local as costing more. That’s not true here.”

ROY: “Shopper’s is known for its great variety of wines, especially the many good local and regional selections, at all price points. I’m a big fan of their Pinot Noirs.”

MARY JO: “There are so many quality products here — amazing olive oils and they’re always introducing new local items — along with the established favorites such as the pies, breads, and coffees. Oh, and Pasta Mike’s pasta, Glaum eggs, and Donnelly Chocolates.”

You see Shopper’s as an important community business?

MARY JO: “Absolutely — one of the most important!

When a national competitor moved in a few years ago, many of us formed a coalition to not shop there. If you live in this town, you want to help each other out, right? This “corner” is magical to the community. ROY: “Shopper’s is always giving back to the community by supporting all the schools and so many organizations.”

MARY JO: “I tell new residents that if they want to be part of the community where it feels like family, shop Shopper’s Corner.” ROY: “It’s also convenient and has the best products.” MARY JO: “I’m grateful that Jim and Andre have created something special here.”

“Shopper’s Corner is very affordable, actually. Some people perceive local products as costing more. That’s not true here.”
