OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE A century and a half later, it’s impossible to fully understand the mood and intrigue of the political landscape here at the time that Santa Cruz incorporated. But I’m fairly certain that Geoffrey Dunn’s cover story this week is as close as I’ll come. As always, his research is meticulous, but what’s most remarkable about it is how it brings that research to life.

It feels like picking up the paper of the day and reading about the drama of Santa Cruz’s move toward cityhood, but with the added benefit of knowing how history now views the legacy of these players and their actions.

Nor does it shy away from the darker side of Santa Cruz’s 19th-century development, and one of the nuances I was surprised to

BIKE FRIENDLY?

4

Re: “Flow Motion” (GT, 6/1): Santa Cruz will never be “bicycle friendly.”

I’m an experienced cyclist/commuter with over 85,000 miles logged on my bikes, but I’m about ready to hang it all up.

So long as a rider has to depend on all the drivers to make no mistakes and behave predictably each and every day, it will remain dangerous to be a bicyclist. We always get the worst of any bike/car interaction.

In addition to abysmal road maintenance and near-universal disregard of the recent three-foot rule for passing us, we have to contend with car doors being flung open suddenly in our path, cars turning abruptly in front of us and—very dangerous—the still-common practice of using a cellular phone while driving. Folks, put those things in your trunk before you get in your car.

The crowded, near-gridlock traffic on the afternoon commute leads to frustrated drivers, flaring tempers and chances taken which can easily kill or maim us cyclists. The most recent event which occurred to me was on backed-up Soquel Drive near Soquel Avenue when a driver, tired of waiting, I suppose, decided to turn into a driveway toward a business without warning.

There was no possible way I could have

see already existed was the tension between North County and South County. It provides a striking context for the political battles we still see today in these pages, like the split over Measure D. That said, let’s put that divisiveness aside this week, and come together not only for Santa Cruz’s 150th anniversary celebration, but also for the Watsonville Film Festival. As I write about in this issue, the festival, which runs Sept. 29 through Oct. 2, is the result of a massive effort by a dedicated group of people led by Consuelo Alba to not only entertain us and explore intriguing cultural issues with some great films, but also to restore a part of South County’s heritage with the re-opening of the Fox Theater in Watsonville. I’ve seen what they’ve done to the place to prep it for the festival, and it’s downright amazing. Whatever part of Santa Cruz County you live in, get yourself over there to support them this week.

avoided being struck—there was no time to react, it was so fast—but he stopped with centimeters to spare. Whether he saw me or not, I’ll never know.

It does not seem to matter how many lights you have or that you follow the rules of the road.

Now it is that time of the year that I see the drivers shading their eyes to the rising sun; it’s all the more risky.

I wish I had a solution, but at least ditch the cell phones when behind the wheel.

SWEAT EQUITY

Prior to its most recent cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 17, Save Our Shores unveiled a new piece of technology to help in the effort. The nonprofit now has a phone application that reduces paper waste, letting people digitally document what they find and even organize impromptu cleanups. SOS gave awards out for the biggest trash collectors of items like cigarette butts.

Bank of America volunteers will donate some of their bucks and brawn to a construction site with Habitat for Humanity on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Volunteers from the bank will help to build an affordable house on Frederick Street and present a giant check to the organization.

The collaboration, only the latest chapter in a longtime partnership between B of A and Habitat for Humanity, is part of a global build week.

I look forward to future improvements in our transportation system.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 28 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

What’s the difference between a love warrior and a love worrier? Love warriors work diligently to keep enhancing their empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence.

Love worriers fret so much about not getting the love they want that they neglect to develop their intimacy skills. Love warriors are always vigilant for how their own ignorance may be sabotaging togetherness, while love worriers dwell on how their partner’s ignorance is sabotaging togetherness. Love warriors stay focused on their relationship’s highest goals, while love worriers are preoccupied with every little relationship glitch. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time to become less of a love worrier and more of a love warrior.

Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve provided in the past 12 months, Libra. Since shortly before your birthday in 2015, you have taken lively and gallant actions to rewrite history. You have banished a pesky demon and repaired a hole in your soul. You’ve educated the most immature part of yourself and nurtured the most neglected part of yourself. To my joyful shock, you have even worked to transform a dysfunctional romantic habit that in previous years had subtly undermined your ability to get the kind of intimacy you seek. What’s next?

Here’s my guess: an unprecedented exemption from the demands of the past.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

Are you able to expand while you are contracting, and vice versa? Can you shed mediocre comforts and also open your imagination to gifts that await you at the frontier? Is it possible to be skeptical toward ideas that shrink your world and people who waste your time, even as you cultivate optimism and innocence about the interesting challenges ahead of you? Here’s what I think, Scorpio: Yes, you can. At least for right now, you are more flexible and multifaceted than you might imagine.

How will you deal with a provocative opportunity to reinvent and reinvigorate your approach to work? My guess is that if you ignore this challenge, it will devolve into an obstruction. If you embrace it, on the other hand, you will be led to unforeseen improvements in the way you earn money and structure your daily routine. Here’s the paradox: Being open to seemingly impractical considerations will ultimately turn out to be quite practical.

GEMINI May21–June20 Is it possible that you’re on the verge of reclaiming some of the innocent wisdom you had as a child? Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect it is. If all goes well, you will soon be gifted with a long glimpse of your true destiny—a close replica of the vision that bloomed in you at a tender age. And this will, in turn, enable you to actually see magic unicorns and play with mischievous fairies and eat clouds that dip down close to the earth.

And not only that: Having a holy vision of your original self will make you even smarter than you already are. For example, you could get insights about how to express previously inexpressible parts of yourself. You might discover secrets about how to attract more of the love you have always felt deprived of.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 You Sagittarians are famous for filling your cups so full they’re in danger of spilling over. Sometimes the rest of us find this kind of cute. On other occasions, we don’t enjoy getting wine splashed on our shoes. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, the consequences of your tendency to overflow will be mostly benign—perhaps even downright beneficial. So I suggest you experiment with the pleasures of surging and gushing. Have fun as you escape your niches and transcend your containers. Give yourself permission to seek adventures that might be too extravagant for polite company. Now here’s a helpful reminder from your fellow Sagittarian, poet Emily Dickinson: “You cannot fold a flood and put it in a drawer.”

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

I’m not asking you to tell me about the places and situations where you feel safe and fragile and timid. I want to know about where you feel safe and strong and bold. Are there sanctuaries that nurture your audacious wisdom? Are there natural sites that tease out your primal willpower and help you clarify your goals? Go to those power spots. Allow them to exalt you with their transformative blessings. Pray and sing and dance there.

And maybe find a new oasis to excite and incite you, as well. Your creative savvy will bloom in November if you nurture yourself now with this magic.

I believe that during the coming weeks you will have an extra amount of freedom from fate. The daily grind won’t be able to grind you down. The influences that typically tend to sap your joie de vivre will leave you in peace. Are you ready to take full advantage of this special dispensation? Please say YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES. Be alert for opportunities to rise above the lowest common denominators. Be aggressive about rejecting the trivial questions that trap everyone in low expectations. Here are my predictions: Your willpower will consistently trump your conditioning. You won’t have to play by the old rules, but will instead have extra sovereignty to invent the future.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

One of your old reliable formulas may temporarily be useless or even deceptive. An ally could be withholding an important detail from you. Your favorite psychological crutch is in disrepair, and your go-to excuse is no longer viable. And yet I think you’re going to be just fine, Leo. Plan B will probably work better than Plan A. Secondary sources and substitutes should provide you with all the leverage you need. And I bet you will finally capitalize on an advantage that you have previously neglected. For best results, be vigilant for unexpected help.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you can expect an unlikely coincidence or two in the coming days. You should also be alert for helpfully prophetic dreams, clear telepathic messages, and pokes from tricky informers. In fact, I suspect that useful hints and clues will be swirling in extra abundance, sometimes in the form of direct communications from reliable sources, but on occasion as mysterious signals from strange angels.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Attention! Warning! One of your signature fears is losing its chokehold on your imagination. If this trend continues, its power to scare you may diminish more than 70 percent by Nov. 1. And then what will you do? How can you continue to plug away at your goals if you don’t have worry and angst and dread to motivate you? I suppose you could shop around for a replacement fear—a new prod to keep you on the true and righteous path. But you might also want to consider an alternative: the possibility of drawing more of the energy you need by feeding your lust for life.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You know that inner work you’ve been doing with such diligence? I’m referring to those psycho-spiritual transformations you have been attending to in the dark, the challenging but oddly gratifying negotiations you’ve been carrying on with your secret self, the steady, strong future you’ve been struggling to forge out of the chaos?

Well, I foresee you making a big breakthrough in the coming weeks. The progress you’ve been earning, which up until now has been mostly invisible to others, will finally be seen and appreciated. The vows you uttered so long ago will, at last, yield at least some of the tangible results you’ve pined for.

THOUGHT FOR FOOD It seems like there is always some special observance around the corner. There is even a World Day for Farmed Animals. It’s observed, fittingly, on Oct. 2 (Gandhi’s birthday). It’s intended to memorialize the

tens of billions of animals abused and killed for food around the world.

My first instinct was to dismiss it. But, I wanted to understand the impact of my diet and my food dollars on others.

I have now embraced a plant-based diet—green and yellow veggies, legumes, fruits, nuts, and some grains. Occasionally, I indulge in nut-based cheese or ice cream.

Although I was motivated by compassion for animals, I have since learned that my diet is also great for my health and for the health of our planet.

WATERY PLOT A seaweed farmer in Nusa Lembongan, Bali gathers edible seaweed grown on a rope. PHOTO: JEAN-MARIE HULLOT

Could seaweed be the next big industry? BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

A

griculture played a defining role in human history, but many believe that it’s aquaculture that holds the key to our future.

Seaweed is already a $5.6 billion global industry, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, and it appears to be rapidly growing. Beyond a myriad of commercial uses—like food additives, fertilizers and cosmetics—seaweed demand is also increasing due to its nutritional properties. A superfood of the sea, it’s loaded with vitamins A, B, and C, as well as micronutrients like calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, and iodine. It is also a rich source of antioxidants, and even contains a

type of fiber called alginate that may block fat absorption in the gut and lead to better weight management.

A 2003 study published in the journal Endocrine Practice found that kelp supplementation increased levels of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), essential in regulating metabolism. And a 2008 study published in Nutrition Research and Practice looked at patients with type 2 diabetes, and found that taking a seaweed supplement led to better blood sugar control, lower triglyceride levels, higher HDL (healthy cholesterol), and even greater antioxidant enzyme activity.

Although commercial-scale seaweed farming has yet to take off on the West Coast, those in favor of it see it

as rife with potential, and a boon for entrepreneurs and disenfranchised fisherman whose usual fish stocks have declined or disappeared. For one, seaweed is one of the fastest-growing organisms on Earth, with some species growing around two feet per day. Many farmers also employ what’s known as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, where they farm shellfish like mussels, scallops, oysters, and clams in symbiosis with the seaweed—each one fed and fertilized by the other’s byproducts.

In the northeastern U.S., there are currently 15 permitted farms, but expansion has been slowed by regulatory state government agencies reacting to environmental concerns.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 4, 2016

Cry for Kelp

Aquaculture’s slippery reputation can be attributed to environmental concerns. Many people associate it with large-scale fish farms that can poison the surrounding ecosystem with excessive nutrients, disease, and escaped animals. But according to internationally renowned seaweed expert Dr. Charles Yarish, seaweed farms may actually benefit their surrounding ecosystems because the plant readily absorbs inorganic nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, which can harm the environment and are often overconcentrated in highly populated areas, due to runoff from farms and wastewater treatment facilities.

Seaweed farms may also help with another major ocean problem: acidification. When seawater absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2), it results in a slight increase in acidity—which wreaks havoc on sea-dwelling plants and animals. Seaweed and seaweed farms may be one tool to fight this urgent environmental issue because the plant naturally absorbs CO2 from the ocean, mitigating ocean acidification in a natural and sustainable way. Seaweed also releases oxygen back into the atmosphere, which can help restore the surrounding environment. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is currently researching the effectiveness of the idea by planting a mini kelp forest in Hood Canal, Washington, and then monitoring surrounding water quality.

According to Santa Cruz’s George Leonard, chief scientist at the nonprofit environmental advocacy group Ocean Conservancy, the aquaculture of seaweed and shellfish avoids the usual pitfalls of fin-fish aquaculture because it is “non-fed.”

While the farming of fish requires massive amounts of environmentally questionable feed, Leonard says that seaweed and shellfish aquaculture require no food or chemicals beyond what the ocean naturally provides.

It’s almost like a farm that never has to be watered or fertilized.

“Aquaculture is not a panacea to the world’s problems,” Leonard told NBC News. “But, I think aquaculture done right, in the right places, can be a major contributor to [fixing] what ails the ocean and what society needs from our living and healthy ocean.”

NEWS SHARE THE ROAD

SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 4, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Santa Cruz moves forward with plan for a bike share program BY JACOB PIERCE

12

Zach Davis was on the road listening to the radio last month when a story came on about the growing world of local “bike share” programs. Millions of riders have hopped on in cycling-friendly communities all over the country.

“I was sitting in my car feeling a little embarrassed we didn’t have one, because bikes are a great way to move people in an engaging way,” says Davis, a member of Santa Cruz’s Downtown Commission and a co-owner of eateries including the Penny Ice Creamery.

But at the following commission meeting a couple of days later, the advisory body heard a presentation on a possible bike-share program, one that could launch as early as January. Davis now feels excited that, because the city has come to the trend a little late, local leaders will be able to piggyback on ideas that have worked elsewhere.

The whole process started over the summer when J. Guevara, the city’s economic development manager, took a cold call from a bike share vendor asking if Santa Cruz might be interested in starting a program of its own that would allow customers to rent a bike right off the street by the hour, day, week or month.

Guevara remembers telling the salesperson, “Yeah, we just received a gold bicycle-friendly award, moving up from silver, and we’ve got our eye on platinum. And we’re developing section seven of the rail trail, and we are a great market with between two and three million visitors, as well as a resident population that really embraces and loves cycling.”

Both the Downtown Commission and the Transportation and Public Works Commission unanimously recommended that the city continue moving forward with the proposal last week, after asking questions about customer service, safety, liability and upkeep.

One transportation commissioner, Philip Boutelle, remarked that the League of American Bicyclists, which gave the city its recent gold certification for biking, provided a report card on how the city can make it up to platinum. And while the bike share made the list of recommendations, Boutelle suggested that city leaders should keep an eye on other items, like conducting speed studies and looking for ways to calm traffic.

Steering Deal

Self-driving vehicle rollout promises exciting possibilities, big questions BY JOHN FLYNN

A

fter touring an exhibition put on by Yanfeng, the world’s largest auto interior company, I hailed an Uber driver who happened to be on his first day of work. Six fares in and loving it, he sparked up the customary chit-chat, asking what I’d been doing.

I stuttered. I didn’t want to deflate his excitement, but I’d just seen the future, and it didn’t include him.

Yanfeng’s San Jose showroom prototype sported a soon-to-be omnipresent feature that will replace virtually any vehicle service that requires an actual driver. But, more

cheerily, it’ll also reduce traffic, pollution and death, plus save trillions of dollars. The revolutionary feature?

A steering wheel that nestles into the dash during autonomous mode.

Sitting in the glitzy, leatherwrapped faux cockpit, I wondered if America—a land wedded to the lusty mythology of exploring the open road—could ever let automated driving overtake the manual method.

Han Hendriks, a Yanfeng vice president with a crisp German accent, sighed and answered with the casual surety of a man hearing this question for the 4,000th time.

“Autonomous flying was introduced to the commercial airline market in the ’70s,” he says. “And without any exception, all the pilots said, ‘Never. I will always fly my plane.’ Today, all pilots fly autopilot.

No exceptions.”

To Hendriks, anyone opposed to autonomy is thinking about it wrong.

Californians might love to wind through eucalyptus-lined mountain roads and redwood groves. But automated driving, at least the first wave, will take over navigation nobody wants to do—Highway 1-esque straightaways or traffic jams where the average >14

STEERING DEAL <12 American wastes somewhere between 38 to 81 hours every year.

“Sure, you love driving in your [Porsche] 911 on Sunday,” Hendriks says. “But do you love driving when you’re in a traffic jam every morning? Every evening? That’s a different driving. I love driving, but I hate traffic.”

Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley), a self-described technophile, is already intrigued by the possibility.

“I love the technology. My one caveat is I love to drive,” says Stone, who wants to be able to take over, when his car isn’t stuck in traffic.

Most congestion on roads like Highway 1 and Highway 17, he says, is caused by aggressive driving, and drivers trying to zig and zag around one another, slowing down everyone else on the road.

He adds that people will be tempted to over-react to accidents caused by self-driving cars, but that the vehicles are still safer than the distracted drivers out there who text and such while behind the wheel.

Automated driving wouldn’t just let people nap, work or do whatever in traffic. It would also drastically improve safety and reduce commute times. Intercommunicating cars could “platoon” in columns too tightly packed for humans to ever sustain—an arrangement that’s denser and more aerodynamic. This could end gas-guzzling, stop-start jams and spawn a ripple effect of positives as its usage expands.

“First of all, it’s safety, because 95 percent of all accidents are human error,” Hendriks says. “The second one is cost, because all these accidents cost a fortune—hospitals, insurance, safety systems and so forth.”

The estimated savings are huge.

In 2015, 35,000 people died in automobile accidents. In what may sound like a cold calculation, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has computed the value of a human life at $9.6 million—so that’s more than $300 billion, taking into account economic factors, like income.

Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control estimates these deaths represented a work and medical loss of $44 billion. On top of that, 2.3 million people were injured

in cars in 2013. The DOT ranks injury costs from minor ($27,000) to unsurvivable ($9.2 million). Needless to say, car accidents add billions of dollars in injuries, as well.

“We could prevent 90 percent of [lives lost],” says Amit Garg, an in-house venture capitalist for Samsung who spends much of his days thinking about the mobility revolution. He notes that it will “create huge amounts of opportunity” and “change the societal landscape.”

It will also potentially dislocate the 10 to 15 million people who drive people and things around for a living.

“I think it will be better for us as a society,” Garg says. “Some people will have to retrain jobs. There will be losers in this.”

A report by the Intelligent Transportation Society of America claims these cars could chip away at 2 to 4 percent of oil usage and greenhouse gas emissions each year over the next decade. The real reductions will come as we replace gas tanks with batteries and find cleaner ways to make electricity.

With pioneers like Tesla, it’s not inconceivable that autonomous driving and sustainable power develop hand-in-hand.

And more immediate than the eventual demise of person or planet, automation offers an otherwise nonpurchasable commodity: time.

“The average commute globally is 40 minutes, one way,” Hendriks says. “So now you can give people that two times per day. What is a driver going to do when he or she is in a vehicle with that time? And how is the interior going to support this new activity—this relaxing, working, eating, exercising?”

ROAD WORK Yanfeng has cooked up some modest but sexy changes. In autonomous mode, the front two seats rotate 18 degrees to facilitate more natural conversations and recline to a relaxed, but not necessarily sleep-inducing angle. The plastic surfaces buzz when touched, then kill the germs left behind in under three hours—a crucial feature for shared vehicles. Tucked into the side panels, LED lights glow in any pigment, pattern or brightness desired. Next to a tablet embedded in the dash, there’s a spot for phones to

sit and sync with the car. Between the shins of the front passengers, there’s a cubby for something purse-sized.

Since “80 percent of car use is by one or two people,” Hendriks says, front-riding passengers will be able to fold down the back seats, then extend their chairs horizontally.

There, they can gaze at the stars through the sunroof, watch a film on their ceiling or—ahem—engage in other activities for people with time and privacy (facilitated by adjustable window opacity).

Thirty corporations—including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Uber—are developing their own vehicles. On Wednesday, Sept. 14 Uber announced it was launching a pilot program of self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. A report by the University of Michigan predicts autonomous functions will be standard on a majority of cars on the road in the 2050s.

These automobiles could drop passengers off at their destination, then wait by circulating on less busy streets or parking themselves in tighter-packed lots. Way out in the future, the car might leave the lot, pick up remotely ordered groceries, nab the kids from a playdate and then snag the original passenger before driving home.

Last month, MIT spinoff Nutonomy began piloting a small number of autonomous taxis on the streets of Singapore. This month in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Uber will test out 100 self-driving Volvo SUVs, though they will be supervised by human drivers.

“You might have parts of large cities where no human-driven vehicle would be allowed,” says Dorothy Glancy, a lawyer who has been studying the possibilities of automated vehicles for more than a decade. “You’d have a whole bunch of autonomous vehicles available to serve the people in those areas, and it might be considerably safer.”

These advances, however, come with grim news for the job market.

Hundreds of thousands of car mechanics and drivers will likely become unnecessary, along with 1.6 million American truckers. Daily, trucks transport 70 percent of all cargo in the United States, or $11.4 trillion of freight. But since deregulation >18

PATH TASK The League of American Bicyclists has recognized Santa Cruz as a gold-tier cycling city. A bike share program would help it advance to platinum. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

SHARE THE ROAD <12 how the vendors handle helmets, or if they require them.

Transportation Commissioner Claire Fliesler responded that bike share vendors heavily recommend using helmets, but don’t require them because they can be “a barrier to entry” for new riders. Vendors in some places, though, have partnered with bike shops, offering discounts of 15 to 30 percent off helmets. And a study from the San Josebased Mineta Institute found that no one has died from a shared-bike crash in the United States. It also found that people have been less likely to be injured on a shared bike than their own—either because the bikes aren’t built to go as fast or because people are more careful on a ride they aren’t familiar with.

When it comes to the contract, Fliesler says the city will pick a company that offers “customer service 24/7 and that it would be

a pleasant experience from beginning to end.”

She adds that the bikes are very difficult to steal, strip or vandalize and that customers generally aren’t held liable for any missing bikes.

Fliesler and Guevara have entertained bids from three companies—Zagster, Social Bicycles and BCycle—with offers ranging from free to “expensive.”

“The zero-cost vendor is the bestperforming vendor, and is very attracted to our market and is motivated to capture it,” Guevara told the transportation commission.

Generally, Guevara explains, there are two kinds of bike share programs. The first is what planners call a “hub-based” style, where people lock up the bike to a designated bike rack. Customers pay at a pay station, which automatically unlocks one of the bikes from the hub. This is what most people probably picture when they think of bike shares, as it has already taken off in metropolitan areas like New York City, which launched its Citi Bike program three

years ago. The problem is that installing all those hubs and pay stands gets expensive.

The newer approach planners have been using is sometimes called the “smart bike” model. It uses normal bike racks and lets users unlock the bike with their phone. Afterward, they can lock up the bike wherever they would like. The approach has proven cheaper and more flexible, Guevara says, making it more enticing, as well as the preferred model for smaller markets like Santa Cruz.

Guevara plans to take the plan to the City Council in November, and with the council’s approval, the city manager’s office would be able to negotiate a contract. He hopes to have a bike-share system running at full speed by the summertime. To do that, the company would plan to launch with about 50 bikes and 10 bike racks in early 2017.

Commissioners say that one day they’d love to see the program spread into other parts of the county, perhaps along the rail corridor

and its accompanying trail.

The city may provide some basic infrastructure, like racks, but Guevara says he wants the vendor’s employees to take care of repairing bikes, moving them around and keeping an eye on the fleet. In order to help support the program financially, he plans to pitch possible sponsors, including health-care companies like Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health and Palo Alto Medical Foundation.

Each bike comes with its own GPS tracking device, making it easy to track where cyclists go.

Right now, to calculate bicycle traffic, Fliesler stands on a street corner with a clicker counting bikes, a method that she’s found is time-consuming and not particularly effective.

“We will be able to get a depth and density of data on where people are riding, what routes people are riding, where they are parking,” she says. “And we’ll be able to install bike parking, install bike infrastructure, and do a number of things to help these routes really shine.”

Where Information Meets Knowledge

By Datta Khalsa, Broker In these times where information is often as available to the consumer as it is to the professional, there was widespread speculation that the Zillows and Zip Realtys of the world would drive down the value the services provided by real estate agents, with the eventual result of eliminating the need for real estate agents altogether.

Oddly enough, the opposite happened—we got even busier. Why? Because in a world where so much information is available, people still need someone to turn to who can make sense of it all and help guide them to good decisions with that information. I have found in my own practice that my role as an agent has evolved increasingly into that of a general practitioner who handles the broad range of transactions (from residential to commercial to business opportunity sales and beyond) while drawing from an increasingly complex network of specialists in each area handled.

This includes memberships in different professional organizations and knowing the right types of contracts, lenders and escrow holders to use for different types of transactions. It means being able to draw from different pools of inspectors depending on what type of situation is being evaluated. And it means having familiarity with the cast of characters and practices amongst the different fields and regions to be able to successfully navigate through whatever waters a given project may lead.

In the end, it comes down to having someone you trust on your side. There is value to having a reliable source to turn to who has the needed level of experience and familiarity to make for better series of decisions and better results than you could achieve trying to go it alone.

It would be a tall order for one person to have the skills to be an expert in each of these fields, but by serving more as a conduit to the right resources for each situation that our clients face, the modern agent has become a kind of concierge for their clients, who knows the right blend of resources to bring in for any specific situation.

A Yelp review is no substitute for a qualified reference based on past personal experience on other similar projects. And a self-driving car won’t be able to tell you a fraction of the community insight that a local knows about the commercial or residential neighborhood you are looking at moving to.

In short, it helps to know the right people.

during the Carter administration, this bedrock profession has been transformed into a “sweatshop on wheels,” where drivers routinely work lonely, 10-plus hour days for wages that occasionally work out to less than minimum wage. At the end of 2015, the American Trucking Association reported a shortage of nearly 50,000 drivers, one that’s expected to grow to 175,000 by 2024.

The current landscape is far from perfect. Trucks account for 1 percent of the cars on the road, but produce 28 percent of vehicle-based pollution.

One in seven are empty, and they kill approximately eight people a day in accidents.

To modernize and improve this shipping method, two Google alums— Anthony Levandowski and Lior Ron— founded Otto, a startup pioneering autonomous truck-driving. They seek to retrofit existing trucks with updated sensors, software and other modifications. And they recently completed a test-drive of their technology on a public highway. After further upgrades and research, their goal is to spread to “every corner of the U.S. highway system.” On Aug.18, Uber announced that it had acquired Otto as part of the company’s foray into autonomous driving.

Currently, the most advanced autopilot models—pioneered by Tesla, BMW and Mercedes Benz— don’t trust their cars enough. They allow for cruising on highways, either open or congested, and that’s about it. Despite the limitations, it’s still a wild ride. Hendriks showed me a video of himself bombing down a European freeway at 130 mph in a BMW 7-Series with his hands off the wheel—well, most of the time.

“It’s a safety system where you have to touch the wheel every 15 seconds,” he says. “And that will go away over time because it's kind of silly. But you don’t need pedals. You don’t need your hands on the steering wheel. The car drives itself. I actually closed my eyes for a minute, just to sense how that feels. It is unbelievable—and you can buy that today.”

Amit Garg and other industry experts will speak on the “Autonomous Vehicles at the Crossroads” panel held Friday, Oct. 7 at the C2SV Technology + Music festival in San Jose.

A City on the Verge Santa Cruz celebrates its 150th anniversary

But for all the enterprise in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, Santa Cruz was still a relatively remote Western outpost of the American empire, a place where basic municipal services like police and fire protection were hodgepodge affairs at best. Water supplies and sewage disposal were rudimentary and often health hazards. Justice was still delivered through the barrel of a gun—or the end of a rope.

Santa Cruz County had roughly 5,000 residents in 1860, with men outnumbering women by more than two to one. The community of Santa Cruz, as it was loosely defined, had a population of approximately 1,000. It was a rough-and-tumble town. Nearly half the community’s 57 businesses were saloons or brothels. While the city was teeming with kinetic energy and big dreams—lime kilns, paper mills, tanneries, lumber yards and the California Powder Works were all in operation—Santa Cruz remained geographically isolated and economically shackled by the absence of a railroad connection and a cohesive civic government.

All of that was about to change.

At the state capital in Sacramento in the spring of 1866, legislators passed the Registration Act that called for “the registration of the citizens of the State, and for the enrollment in the several election districts of all the legal voters thereof.” Less than two weeks later, at the end of the legislative session on March 31, the legislature passed a “special act” that formally approved the incorporation of the “Town of Santa Cruz.”

On May 3 and 4, voter registration took place at the offices of the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Only two days later, on May 6, citizens of Santa Cruz carried out one of the requirements of the legislation, going to the polls to elect the township’s first “trustees”—

brick mason George C. Stevens, merchant and hotelier Amasa Pray, and grocer S.W. Field. Two months later, on July 23, 1866, Congress approved an act which allowed for the township to allocate deeds of trust for those properties presently located on federal lands previously claimed by Mission Santa Cruz and the adjacent pueblo of Villa de Branciforte.

It was a lot of political and bureaucratic paperwork, but amidst all of the paper shuffling, a city (or something at least approximating a township) was born.

S

o what is it, precisely, that we are celebrating with a lavish 150th birthday party (see sidebar) that includes a multitude of events, including musical performances and fireworks at the Main Beach this Saturday? It’s a bit of a complicated story.

Human history in this region dates back more than 10,000 years, and Native Californians claimed the lower reaches of the San Lorenzo River watershed as their home for millennia (they possibly called it Aulinta or Chamalu). The name “Santa Cruz” was first attached to the place in 1769, when the Gaspar de Portolá expedition gave the rubric to a small stream (likely Majors Creek) just west of the San Lorenzo.

The name was formally given to the Franciscan mission founded here

by Padre Fermin Lausen in August of 1791, which was the “birth date” traditionally celebrated by the community for more than a century.

The secular pueblo to the east of the San Lorenzo (inhabited by retired Spanish soldiers, or invalidos) was given the name Branciforte, which it kept for more than a century. For a brief period after the demise of the missions and Mexican independence 22> from Spain, Santa Cruz was actually

INTO THE WILD View from

he early months of 1866 were auspicious for the California coastal community of Santa Cruz.

A proposed new road along the city’s western cliffs promised “one of the most beautiful drives in the vicinity” as it wound its way toward “the Seal-rock and the high cliff, with the rolling waves breaking in foamy view.” Downtown, the Pacific Ocean House—the community’s first luxury hotel, replete with 100 rooms, expansive gardens and croquet grounds—was offering special “winter arrangements,” with room and board for as little as two dollars a day. The hotel promised “well furnished tables, and clean, comfortable beds.”

The Santa Cruz waterfront was teeming with activity. Several Portuguese whaling companies were operating in the region, from Pescadero down to Carmel, while Chinese fishermen along the Central Coast salted and prepared several hundred thousand tons of fish for export.

Three-masted schooners carried passengers and supplies up and down the coast to a pair of wharves on the waterfront. In March, it was announced that the steamship S.S. Senator would make two stops a week in Santa Cruz, on its regular run along the Pacific Coast.

The Santa Cruz Mountains were also bustling. Nearly 20 saw mills were producing more than nine million feet of redwood lumber annually. A toll road from Felton down the San Lorenzo River to the Davis & Cowell lime kiln operation above Santa Cruz was being debated in the California legislature. Sixhorse stage lines from San Jose brought visitors and prospective residents over the Santa Cruz Mountains; the journey took nearly a full day.

<21 called Villa Figueroa, named after a popular Mexican governor.

That didn’t last long. With California’s admission to the Union in 1850, our county was briefly called Branciforte County before adopting the name of Santa Cruz in April of that year. The name of the county seat was now known permanently as Santa Cruz. It looked like a town and squawked like a town, but it wasn’t quite there yet. It had yet to be incorporated.

The movement to incorporate the Township of Santa Cruz began as early as the 1850s, when two of the community’s most prominent business members and largest land owners, Frederick A. Hihn and Elihu Anthony, pushed a proposal for incorporation at a meeting of approximately 60 local residents in February of 1857. But the majority of a committee charged with investigating the prospects “deem[ed] it impractical under any circumstances, to incorporate the town or village of Santa Cruz.” Hihn

and Anthony’s “minority report,” which favored incorporation, was shelved and the meeting adjourned “until the town grows larger.”

I

n the early 1860s, during the height of the Civil War (California, of course, was a free state and Santa Cruz was predominantly, although not entirely, a pro-Union community), Hihn picked up the incorporation cause once again, this time by himself. In January of 1864, the Santa Cruz Sentinel (then a weekly paper) first published an editorial noting that “it is likely that a bill will be presented to the Legislature this winter to incorporate the town of Santa Cruz.” The Sentinel opined that without such a bill, “no adequate means can be taken to prevent or extinguish fires, to restrain nuisances, or to improve the village, without an incorporation.”

But the editorial also cut to the chase about the driving force of incorporation: scores of residents

SANTA CRUZ’S 150TH and friendship of his conferees,” McPherson declared, “because of his inexhaustible fund of information concerning every portion of the County and every branch of business in it, and because of his great ability as a business man, his integrity and his indomitable industry.”

Hihn was not, however, a figure without controversy, particularly in South County. While one Watsonville Republican acknowledged that Hihn had come to the county “poor and destitute” and had “by his own acts … risen to a prominent position among the businessmen of his county,” others viewed his political efforts, particularly those aimed at incorporation, as driven by selfinterest. Wrote one critic by the nom de plume of “Civis”: The Santa Cruz Incorporation Bill, drawn up by Supervisor-Judge [sic] Hihn, providing that a tax shall be levied upon the people of Santa Cruz for his benefit, will not pass the Legislature … We have pretty well shown up his system of voting himself extra money in the Board; of voting money to improve his property; of securing himself as a defaulting bondsman ...We bow, but not willingly, to the late decision of the Supervisor-Judge, the great Tycoon.

ihn’s initial proposal called for the township to provide water and fire services; to elect trustees who were to serve single-year terms, as well as a “town treasurer” and “town assessor”; to “prevent and remove nuisances”; to license and regulate various economic activities—including “public shows, lawful games and the sale of spirituous liquors”—and “to provide for the impounding of swine and dogs.”

Hihn’s draft boundaries only extended as far east as the middle of the San Lorenzo River. It included boundaries similar to those today on the northern and western borders, but did not include the local waterfront. The Sentinel protested: “The main objection that we have is that the limits of the proposed incorporation is too small. We have in our hearts a big town, and cannot be satisfied with a small one. The bounds of the incorporation ought at least to go to the ocean. We don’t

in the community had laid claim to lands that were still under the control of the federal government— tracts that were “formerly included in the ancient Mission of Santa Cruz [generally west of the San Lorenzo River] and the pueblo of Branciforte [lands east].” By presenting an incorporation bill properly to Congress, the editorial continued, “that body would undoubtedly grant back these pueblo [and mission] lands to the town of Santa Cruz.

The trustees of the town could equitably apportion them. The proceeds of the sale of the lands would furnish means to begin an improvement of the town … hence the necessity of incorporation.” Hihn drafted a preliminary version of the incorporation bill—one that included 14 articles—that was eventually sent to the state legislature.

An early Santa Cruz merchant, civic presence and one of the county’s largest landowners, Frederick Augustus Hihn, was a dominant force in the economic and political affairs of 19th century Santa Cruz County (and all of Northern California, for that matter). The German-born “capitalist,” as he was later to be identified in the Great Register of Santa Cruz County Voters, developed one of the city’s first mercantile stores at the juncture of Pacific Avenue and Front Street (at the site of today’s Flat Iron Building); he developed water companies throughout the county; established roads and railroads; and was the founder and initial developer of Capitola. In 1869, he was elected to the California legislature. At the time of his death in 1913, the Santa Cruz Morning News described him as a “man of energy and progress, who made things come his way when they persisted in going the other.”

In 1864, at the time he reinitiated the incorporation effort, Hihn was serving on the County Board of Supervisors. He had been endorsed by both the Union (Republican) and Democratic parties, and had the strong support of Duncan McPherson, the editor of the Sentinel. “Mr. Hihn, as a Supervisor, has always commanded the respect

like the idea of going out of town to get to the beach.”

The Sentinel explained the primary purpose of the incorporation movement—to facilitate clear land titles to those properties that had long been occupied by residents of the county following the demise of Spanish and Mexican rule, including the lands of Mission Santa Cruz (west of the San Lorenzo River) and the pueblo of Branciforte (east of the river).

There was one problem: Hihn’s critics proved triumphant. Too many viewed his efforts as those of someone all too eager “to fill his hungry pockets.” The region’s representative in the Assembly, Alfred Devoe (who was from Watsonville) wrote a letter stating that he would report the bill back to the legislature when he had “heard from the people of Santa Cruz.” A “remonstrance” with more than 200 signatures was sent to Sacramento opposing the incorporation. The California Legislature never took up

the 1864 version of the bill.

T

wo years later, in 1886, the annexation cause was taken up again, this time without Hihn’s name attached. Richard Cornelius Kirby, born in England and a longtime tanner in the community (he was a noted “Black Republican,” opposed to slavery), completed a draft bill of incorporation—very similar in form and content to Hihn’s of two years earlier, albeit with a few significant tweaks) that was eventually sent to the legislature for passage. This time, the boundaries extended all the way to the waterfront and a short distance east of the San Lorenzo river bottom (although Branciforte and Seabright would not be annexed to the city until the early 1900s).

Santa Cruz being Santa Cruz, the incorporation legislation did not proceed to Sacramento without opposition—and no small amount of vituperation. There was less public

(Society of California Pioneers) vigilantism for those outside the town’s predominant Yankee power structure. Californios of native and Mexican descent, freed African American slaves, Chinese and Southern European immigrants were all marginalized—socially, politically and economically.

By 1866, there were two small Chinese communities in Santa Cruz— one located at the California Powder Works, along the San Lorenzo River just north of town (today’s Paradise Park); and a second on what was then Willow Street (todays’s Pacific Avenue), between Walnut Avenue and Lincoln Street. For the next two decades, they would be the subject of fierce racism and vitriolic attacks, more often than not led by the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

As local historian Sandy Lydon notes in his seminal work Chinese Gold, in the spring of 1864, a masked and armed group of vigilantes attempted to herd the Chinese residing at the Powder Works

back into Santa Cruz. “If they [the Chinese] get blown up in the powder mills,” the Sentinel opined, “it will not be much loss to the community.”

Their fate was only to grow uglier in the years ahead.

As bad as it was for the Chinese, native Californians had it even worse. In the 1860s, there was still a surprisingly sizable community living on pasture lands formerly owned by the Mission, known as the Potrero (what is today Harvey West Park), which had been provided to them by the Catholic Church for work rendered at the mission.

An article headlined “Lo! The Poor Indian” in the June 23, 1866, Sentinel noted that: “When the Santa Cruz Mission was established, the tribes of Indians at Aptos, Soquel and Santa Cruz numbered nearly 3,000. All are now scattered or have passed away; their tribal character has become extinct—except about forty, who have their houses on the Potrero, within the limits of our

incorporation … Would it not be well for the citizens of Santa Cruz to now determine that the Potrero … shall be forever set apart to those Indians and their children, and that no vandal shall ever despoil them of what the good priest gave them for services rendered.”

It certainly would have been “well,” but by November, the Sentinel noted that the Potrero property, “occupied in part by Indians,” had been sold to a local dairy farmer.

Those surviving moved east across the river to Branciforte, which came to be known as “Spanish Town” and where many of the community’s original families still resided, often in abject poverty.

Incorporation came with a price attached. Best that we not sweep it under the rug. It’s a reminder for us all to aspire, in the words of Abraham Lincoln (assassinated less than a year before Santa Cruz became a municipality), to the “better angels of our nature.”

debate the second time around, and the Sentinel published little about the effort. Apparently those opposed to the annexation sent another “remonstrance” against the bill to Sacramento, though this time it had far fewer signatures. According to one letter writer, a “petition was signed by all our prominent citizens, with very few exceptions.”

Those who opposed the bill were dubbed “gophers” for not keeping their efforts “above ground.” They had resorted to sending their letters to the Pajaro Times, in Watsonville, where Hihn and the editors of the Sentinel were held in disdain.

After the legislation was passed—but before the inaugural election was held in May—a counter-slate was formed of those opposing incorporation: dairyman Horace Gushee, and merchant Franklin Cooper and one candidate identified simply as “Smith.” The pro-incorporation forces won the election, according to a tally reported in the Sentinel, by an “average majority of 40 votes.” The so-called Gopher Party was forced back underground.

Progress, or so it was dubbed, had triumphed. By June of that year, a survey map listing all of the city’s land ownership was completed; a few months later, the U.S. Congress granted title to those lands which had remained under public domain.

Property investments were protected. Downtown Santa Cruz almost immediately doubled in size.

Streets were realigned and renamed (Willow Street, for instance, was changed to Pacific Avenue). The county courthouse was constructed on Cooper Street. In only a few years, the City of Santa Cruz would swell to a population of 2,500.

Industry and commerce were on the rise, and various railroad lines would be constructed throughout the region in the 1870s.

By the fall of 1866—precisely 150 years ago—Santa Cruz was, quite literally, a city on the verge.

Business Profile:

Donnelly Fine Chocolates

Donnelly’s belief that the secret to making great chocolate lies in using the best possible ingredients has never wavered, and his many accolades prove he may be right—National Geographic named Donnelly Fine Chocolates no. 8 out of the world’s top ten chocolatiers in 2012, and they are frequently voted “Best” by the local community in Good Times’ “Best Of” poll. His chocolates are impeccably textured and intensely flavorful.

Working in small batches, Donnelly and his brother, Henry, produce hand-dipped bars and truffles in interesting flavors like ginger, chai and chipotle, as well as ice cream bars and liqueur-flavored treats.

But the best seller by far, says Donnelly, is the caramel dipped in chocolate. “We have it all sorts of ways—soft, chewy, dipped in dark or milk chocolate, coffee-infused and topped with sea salt,” he says.

“People really love it.” Says one Yelp reviewer, “This is chocolate you want to eat uninterrupted or in the silent company of someone who is also eating their chocolate.

Literally, there are no words.”

Donnelly is a true artisan who continually strives for perfection in his trade. “We’re constantly testing recipes to make them better—a better texture, or more delicious,” he explains. He is happy to share his hard-earned skills, however, through his monthly chocolate-making classes. These intimate workshops for one to six people are held in the shop on the first weekend of every month.

Students can either learn how to temper, which involves preparing the chocolate and working with

it for several hours to make a smooth, evenly-textured product, or how to create, shape and dip a variety of truffles. “The classes are for people who want to make a special gift for their friends or family, or people who really love chocolate,” says Donnelly.

Chocolate is a seasonal business, with intense rushes around certain holidays, like Christmas and Valentine’s Day and a slower season during the summer.

Although there are chocoholics who stop in throughout the year, Donnelly Fine Chocolates’ line of credit at Santa Cruz Community Credit Union helps support them during the slow periods. Through the Credit Union, they were able to secure a loan to put in much-needed new equipment, and when the space next door became vacant last year, they were able to double their kitchen size and add a small coffee bar to better serve their legions of fans. “We love the Credit Union. Everyone in my family has an account,” says Donnelly.

“They’re incredibly helpful.”

Richard Donnelly tasted great chocolate for the first time while training at a cooking school in Paris in the mid-1980s.

Throughout the city, he saw simple, unadorned chocolates made with impeccable ingredients available almost everywhere, and they were relatively inexpensive.

From the start, the incredible flavors made such an impression on him that he shifted his studies to focus on the art of making chocolate. Donnelly brought his skills to Santa Cruz, where he has been making chocolates by hand at Donnelly Fine Chocolates on Mission Street since 1988.

away, and she has no regrets.

“It’s actually pretty peaceful,” says Godoy. “I get to where I’m one with the paint. I’m an introverted kind of girl.”

But not so introverted, maybe, when it counts. Festival director Consuelo Alba reveals that far from just being handy with a brush, Godoy—whose

<30 “Finding Joann was one of those big moments,” says Alba, as she stands in the center of the theater that she and her team have been working nonstop, seven days a week, to renovate.

There is something about Alba that inspires big moments, and influential people. She has won the support of some of the biggest names in Santa Cruz County business, like George Ow, who connected her with a movie theater consultant, and Barry Swenson Builder, whose senior vice president Jesse Nickell personally oversaw the restoration of the Fox’s roof, which had been in such bad shape before the repairs that pieces of it were falling away. She has sought out advice from locals like Laurence Bedford, upon whose Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz Alba hopes to model the Fox’s success, and Geoffrey Dunn, who will be honored on opening night this year, as part of a tribute to pioneering local filmmakers.

Dunn’s documentary about Filipino farmworkers, Dollar a Day, 10 Cents a Dance, which he co-directed with Mark Schwartz, was actually shown at the Fox three decades ago, and will be the first film screened when the theater re-opens for the festival on Thursday.

Alba has brought both Watsonville’s old guard (like community activist Alan Hicks and El Teatro Campesino vet Frank Rodriguez) and new blood (such as Jacob Martinez, who helped found the WFF, and Gabriel Medina, both of Digital NEST) onto the festival’s board and production team. Perhaps most importantly, she won over Green Valley Cinema owner Hank Garcia, who also owns the Fox. “It’s not just about watching a film,” says Alba of the WFF. “It’s about making connections, and it’s about what resonates with the community.”

Alba’s incredible calm—even in the midst of the total chaos that comes with 10 months of restoring a 93-year-old theater—and irrepressible positive attitude are a big part of what makes her passion so contagious. It also sometimes makes people underestimate her, she admits.

“Some people think I’m naïve,” she says. “I’m not. I’m aware. This has been very hard. It’s a very stressful project. But I’m at my best when I’m calm. That’s my main job, just to be calm. I take it very seriously.”

And she’s being taken seriously now, too. Whereas the restoration of the Fox on a nonexistent budget once seemed like a pipe dream, it is now a reality. The 450 new seats were donated by Cinelux. Barry Swenson Builder did the roof renovation for free. Alba’s team of volunteers like Godoy has worked tirelessly. It’s all been building up to this week, when the festival will show off their work while presenting a diverse slate of films over four days, Sept. 29-Oct. 2.

The opening night program, “Local Visions, Past and Present” will feature Dollar a Day, along with several other short films from local filmmakers.

“It’s important to use this place to showcase the talent that we have in this community,” says Alba.

Perhaps the most offbeat event this year is a community bike ride on Sunday morning inspired by the film Ovarian Psychos, which screens Saturday night. The documentary follows a group of Chicano feminist activists in East L.A., several of whom will be traveling to Watsonville to attend the screening.

“Where they live is so similar to where we live,” says Alba of the film’s protagonists. “I see friends that I have here in Watsonville in those women.”

But this year’s biggest standout might just be The Great Sasuke, a documentary about the Japanese wrestler who singlehandedly made his native country crazy for Lucha Libre.

Its Mexican-Japanese mash-up seems perfect for Watsonville, a city with prominent immigrant communities from both cultures.

Other WFF offerings this year include everything from a program of horror shorts from local filmmakers to Indivisible, a documentary about the “DREAMers,” students whose parents have been deported.

Alba says there is a long way to go in figuring out a long-term model for the Fox, but the restoration effort and the film festival are proof of its potential.

“This is just a preview of what we can do,” she says.

The Watsonville Film Festival runs Sept.

29-Oct. 2 at the Fox Theater, 15 Maple St. in Watsonville. Schedule information along with day passes, all-access passes and single-event tickets are available at watsonvillefilmfest.org.

WHERE SHE GOES TO LOSE HER MIND Brit Laura Marling returns to Santa Cruz for an Oct. 4 gig at Moe’s Alley.

On her new album, British singer-songwriter Laura Marling looks for god in Santa Cruz BY KATIE SMALL

D

espite more than a decade in the music business, Laura Marling does not fit the cliché of the selfindulgent, self-aggrandizing singersongwriter. The British folk singer is reserved and difficult to track down—or, as her publicist puts it, “notoriously interview shy.” Marling seems reluctant to talk about herself, but when she does, she chooses her words carefully; she is thoughtful and sincere. That should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with her music.

Marling balances powerful and expressive lyrics with a subtlety far beyond her 26 years. She writes

with an efficacy and earnest energy that would take most a lifetime to master. She also rips on guitar, but performs with such grace that you might miss it while focusing on her expressive, bright songbird voice.

Marling dove headfirst into London’s music scene at age 16, keeping company with folk bands like Mumford & Sons and Noah and the Whale. She released her first album at 18, and has come out with four more since.

Naturally, her approach to writing has changed throughout the years. “I think that everything that I’ve done has been at the right time, for the right reasons, whether they’ve had

good or bad outcomes,” she says. “I think I’ve come full circle—I’ve tried to take control of the mood that moves through you when you write music, and now I’m back to a nice place, to the innocence of it. I don’t try and control it as much.”

Marling moved to Los Angeles after the release of her fourth album, and ended up taking a year off from all musical pursuits. During her hiatus, she travelled extensively over the West Coast, collecting lyrical fodder for Short Movie, her fifth and most recent album. Her travels included a spirited conversation with an old hippie in a bar outside of Mount Shasta, who repeated, “Life’s a short fucking

Laura Marling plays at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at Moe’s Alley. $17 in advance, $20 at the door.

Too Far Gone

movie, man” after every sentence.

Marling’s soul-searching took her through Santa Cruz on more than one occasion; she sings about it on the album’s seventh track, “Easy”: “How did I get lost, looking for god in Santa Cruz?/Where you go to lose your mind/Well I went too far this time.”

Marling couldn’t be convinced to divulge the inspiration behind those lyrics, saying only that she has friends who live here. True to form, she leaves much to be read between the lines.

Short Movie is grittier than Marling’s previous releases. She pushes her voice to peak vulnerability, owning a level of emotive expression that shows her art fully coming into its own.

Electric guitar appears on more than one track, infusing her delicate folk songs with heavier rock vibes.

These days, Marling is focusing on “non-musical things,” including a podcast that explores the lack of female presence in the music business. “I was inspired to investigate the experience of female recording engineers in male-dominated music studios … it seemed like I was noticing people younger than me, suffering because of this,” Marling says. “Young female engineers inexplicably lacking confidence where they needn’t lack confidence. And it seems to be by no intention or malice of anybody, but it’s just the way that [the business] is set up.”

Marling’s podcast consists of friendly conversations between herself and female musicians, engineers, and producers; the first season’s guests include Karen Elson, Haim, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris, among others.

Throughout her career, Marling has found learning from women much easier than learning from men. “I think that by a combination of things that contribute to my character, I fear that I’m more likely to appear silly if I make mistakes in front of a man,” she says. “For some reason, in front of a woman I feel more … able to suffer that vulnerability, without fear of being condemned.”

CALENDAR MODERN OLDERHOOD

TRAILER TRASH HAS A BRAND NEW BAG!

It used to be if someone said they were moving to a trailer park you would wince and say, “Oh, so sorry.”

Images of banjos and alcohol, dying plants and torn curtains came to mind.

Maybe a car on blocks.

Not so fast!

Today’s senior parks are populated with beautiful modular homes or vintage mobiles and they have a lot of social value to offer.

Parks are safe and tucked off the beaten path. They now have solid communities of prideful elders who take care of their homes, and often have a central recreational or meeting room where otherwise single and perhaps isolated elders can meet and mingle.

Because the residents are all a little fragile they look after each other, and they have fun! I visited one park that employed a martini cart and at 5:00 p.m. the folks all came out like mice to cheese for a street martini party!

Take a fresh look at this affordable housing option and think of it as a clubby environment in which to spend your golden years with fun, friends, and safety!

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

FULMINANTE I first heard Fulminante last year when the band was booked for my surprise birthday party. Admittedly, most of the night is pretty fuzzy—although clarifying pictures exist in the everland of social media—but this local power trio wasn’t easily forgotten.

SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 4, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Formed only last year, Monroy, stand-up bassist Paul “Wolfman” Grimm, and guitarist Brenda Martinez have ignited the local scene with their intoxicating brew of infectious tunes. They start with a punk and surf base, but craftily add flavors of gypsy energy à la Gogol Bordello, the Latin style of Manu Chao, and a dash of ska that recalls one of their favorite local bands, La Plebe— bringing the Fulminante (“explosive”) flavor to head.

46

“Josue and I played together in the Atomic Aces, and when that ended, we wanted to do something different,” Grimm remembers. “He kept bugging me, ‘Dude! Let’s play something fast!

And I want it sung in Spanish!’”

When Monroy answered Martinez’s Craigslist ad to jam with some local musicians, the three naturally clicked and began writing.

“I like to not tell them how to play, ya know?” Martinez says. “Charles Mingus did that with his musicians because he wanted them to play it the way they wanted.”

Their creative ambition drove them to release their first, self-titled EP last February. Recorded on analog at Real to Reel Studio in Sand City, it contains four of their fans’ favorite songs, including the wild anthem “Taco Surf Party” and the headbanging-yet-danceable “Mala Suerte.” MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30. Poet & The Patriot, 320 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Free. 426-8620.

DIEGO’S UMBRELLA

THURSDAY 9/29 ROOTS

DAVE RAWLINGS MACHINE Gillian Welch is a rock star of the contemporary roots movement. The one-time Santa Cruzan seems like she just shuttled in from the Dust Bowl, and we love her for it. What roots music newbies may not know, however, is that behind the name Gillian Welch is actually a duo comprising her and her longtime partner David Rawlings.

One of the most creative, soulful and talented roots guitarists of our time— and a top-notch producer whose roster includes Old Crow Medicine Show—Rawlings is a quiet master of the genre and the secret weapon behind one of the most highly regarded roots outfits around. Thursday sees Rawlings at the Rio Theatre with his own group, the Dave Rawlings Machine, which has been called “one of the hottest string bands on the planet.” CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $32.50. 423-8209.

ALTERNATIVE

MEKONS The Mekons’ self-titled album (1980) is a tough listen, even for wacked out British post-punk. The band’s next record of new material, Fear and Whiskey (1985), is kind of a country album, and quite possibly the first example of recorded “alt-country.” If there’s any question as to why the Mekons isn’t a household name, this kind of explains it. The members take “undefinable” to whole new heights. Even though Fear and Whiskey is considered a classic in the genre, the members pride themselves more on being genre-deviants than alt-country forebearers. The last couple of decades, they’ve consistently released boundary-pushing records, but they’ve stayed mostly under the radar. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 9/30 AMERICANA / JAM

SCOTT COOPER Scott Cooper & the Barrelmakers is

a Santa Cruz-based Americana jam band that falls somewhere between the Grateful Dead, String Cheese Incident, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Drawing from a wealth of musical experience, which includes work with China Cats, the Gary Gates Band, Stackabones and more, singer-songwriter Cooper fronts the all-star outfit comprising Dark Star Orchestra drummer Mark Corsolini, lap steel guitarist Scott Walker, veteran bassist Terry Shields, and pianist and vocalist Lachlan Kane. Recommended if you like long jams that romp through rock, roots and the blues. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. The Pocket, 3102 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz, $5. 475-9819.

INDIE-POP

SEA KNIGHT Every song on Sea Knight’s debut EP Where Are You is an important personal statement. Or maybe that’s just how it sounds with the combination of bassist Sami’s occasional violin work and vocalist Linda’s dramatic melodies. That’s not to say the group lacks in the subtly department. The San Francisco four-piece creates a

lot of tension with slow builds and repeated phrases. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

DIEGO’S UMBRELLA Blending Eastern European and traditional Roma music with a kitchen-sink approach that includes rock, ska, klezmer, flamenco and even a bit of polka, Diego’s Umbrella is a true original. Hailing from the Bay Area, this high-energy outfit combines cultures, sounds and styles into a one-people dance party that invites listeners to get their grooves on.

INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s International Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

JAZZ

WYNTON MARSALIS There’s no sonic experience quite like a finely honed big band surging with seemingly unstoppable momentum, building to a delirious climax, then dropping down to a brushes-on-cymbal whisper. And there’s no large ensemble in jazz that plays with the swaggering authority and well-oiled precision of Wynton’s locomotive Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

With a repertoire ranging from Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington to Miles Davis, Jackie McLean and beyond (not to mention an impressive roster of originals commissioned

from bandmembers), the 15-piece orchestra features exceptional improvisers. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7:30 p.m. Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. $36.75-$68.25.

427-2227.

TUESDAY 10/4 ELECTRO

PEACHES Peaches’ genre (and gender) bending makes it difficult to succinctly categorize her music—her sound lands somewhere between surreal avant-garde pop and post-punk electro with deceptively self-aware satirical lyrics, usually delivered in rap form. As far as reviewers go, Uncut seems to have gotten closest with a designation of “high art, low humor, and deluxe filth in a hugely seductive combination.” Peaches’ experimental performance art is best digested in visual form, which may be why her music videos are such intense productions. KS INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $22/door. 429-4135.

INFO: 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. San Lorenzo Park, 137 Dakota Ave., Santa Cruz. $40/adv, $50/door. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 3 to find out how you could win four tickets to the event.

jazz, roots, rock and even metal, which accounts for the band’s unique sound. Expert songwriting and organic harmonies make this bluegrass collective stand out in Santa Cruz’s abundant folk scene. The band tours regularly, but the members agree that “pound for pound, Santa Cruz is really great—chock full of great bands and great venues.” KATIE SMALL

There are festivals for beer and wine, so why not one for hard cider? The folks behind the Hard Core Cider Tour agree and have rounded up dozens of the world’s top hard cider makers for a traveling celebration of the craft that makes stops in San Luis Obispo, Pasadena and Santa Cruz. Boasting unlimited 2-ounce samples of cider, the local leg of the tour features food trucks, music from the Olde Blue Band, and more. It will also raise funds for Life Lab, a garden-based educational program. CAT JOHNSON

STRANGE POSSESSIONS Agnieszka Zulewska and Itay Tiran play newlyweds whose nuptials are wrecked by

SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 4, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

spirits with unfinished business in ‘Demon.’

Wedding Crasher Unquiet spirit from Jewish folklore inhabits Polish filmmaker Marcin Wrona’s eerie ‘Demon’ BY LISA JENSEN

D

espite the title, it’s not quite correct to classify Demon as a horror movie. On the one hand, yes, it deals with the supernatural. But here in the States, what we call a horror movie generally involves randy teens in jeopardy, and oceans of blood gushing like Old Faithful all over everything.

In Demon, Polish filmmaker Marcin Wrona takes a much different approach. With centuries of history, culture, folklore and tradition to draw from—not to mention a sure grasp of allegory and metaphor—he layers on texture and meaning, drawing us into a world of mysterious images, and

complex, yet subtly handled themes.

As the story unspools, mostly over a single day and night’s wedding celebration, Wrona steadily winds up the tension without resorting to the gore and shock tactics we usually associate with the genre. Instead, Wrona creates an increasingly eerie atmosphere, and a sense of menace so profound, it keeps us engrossed right up to the last frame.

Piotr (Israeli actor Itay Tiran), who has been working in London, arrives by ferry at an isolated Polish village to be married. (Tiran is excellent as his role becomes ever stranger and more complex.) His bride-to-be, Zaneta

(Agnieszka Zulewska), is the daughter of a local bigwig, a construction magnate (Andrzej Grabowski) who has gifted the couple with his own father’s home, a deserted old house out in the country, uninhabited for years.

With a bulldozer delivered to the property, Piotr accidentally dislodges a tree—and finds what look like skeletal human remains buried underneath.

Startling visions follow, but his groomsmen arrive the next morning to prepare him for the wedding before he can tell anyone. After the church ceremony, the reception is held in a huge tent erected next to the old house, and as the celebration wears on

into the night, strange things happen.

After a quick tryst with Zaneta, Piotr loses his wedding ring. He keeps seeing a mysterious young woman on the periphery of the party that no one else can see.

When Piotyr himself starts having convulsions on the dance floor, his new father-in-law, with assorted cohorts, drags him off to the barn and orders more liquor to be served to the guests as a cover-up, hoping they won’t remember what they saw.

The bride’s father, the priest, the drunken village doctor, and the professor, an elderly Jewish man who has lived in the village all his life, try to figure out what’s going on. If there are no medical or psychological explanations for Piotr’s behavior, the specter of demonic possession is raised. The professor offers up the notion of a dybbuk, an unquiet spirit out of Jewish folklore that exists “to purge its own soul” of business unfinished in life, but also the soul of the possessed.

As the party progresses and more vodka is consumed, tongues loosen and polite facades begin to crumble.

Village men grumble about Zaneta going out of the village to find a husband. The professor reveals that the village was once a thriving Jewish shtetl but it was destroyed by the Germans—along with most of its families and the only bridge to the outside world.

It’s clear that the whole village, not just the possessing spirit and the possessed, has unfinished business to purge. More literal-minded viewers may complain that the finale offers no clear-cut “explanation.” But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that that’s what I loved about this movie, that the audience is invited to supply its own interpretations, building on all the rich themes that Wrona introduces. You get out of Demon what you’re willing to bring to it. Wrona may not supply all of the answers, but he gets us to ponder the most interesting questions.

DEMON *** (our of four) With Itay Tiran, Agnieszka Zulewska, and Andrzej Grabowski.

Written by Pawel Maslona and Marcin Wrona.

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.

Ira Sachs directs. Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina García costar. (PG) 85 minutes.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Denzel Washington is the courier of righteousness and he’s raining down hell on savage thieves with the help of a ragtag group of gun men.

The Spice is Right Extensive, aromatic lunch menu at new Indian restaurant Mumbai Delights BY CHRISTINA WATERS

‘

W

hat a terrific aroma,” Rita exclaimed as we grabbed a banquette at Mumbai Delights. Appealing and comfortable, the new Pacific Avenue eatery’s atmosphere is deliciously tinged with aromas of curry, ginger and garlic. Hot mint tea for me and a tall, orange mango lassi for Rita started us off. We checked out the bounty of dishes comprising the $10.95 lunch buffet. Salads, fruit, pakoda, dal, as well as tandoori, curry, chicken tikka masala and a pistachio dessert. It all looked and

smelled wonderful, but we wanted a bit more adventure on our first lunch at Mumbai (which came highly recommended by one of the town’s globe-trotting foodies). So we took our time surveying the menu.

Starters, appetizers, salads, classical entrees of India, a suite of curries and an even longer list of tandoori specialties. Obviously, one visit wasn’t going to begin to cover the landscape.

Impeccable butter naan ($2.50) and a platter of lime ginger chicken ($8) came swiftly. Four substantial slices of chicken breast had been lightly marinated in lime and ginger,

and came topped with sliced limes and matchstick pieces of fresh ginger. It was both pretty and tasty.

Rita and I were in heaven, but it was beginning to dawn on us that we’d ordered too much food. This “starter” was easily enough for a robust lunch entree.

I settled back on a banquette decorated with a silk embroidered pillow, sari fabric deconstructed into designer upholstery. A few wellplaced Ganeshes bid me “namaste” as I enjoyed the view of well-chosen wood carvings and attractive plants set off nicely by the dining room’s

soft coral walls. There’s an intimate wine bar in the center of the dining room where one can sample from the menu’s exotic Indian wines, as well as a long list of California premiums.

A bowl of excellent raita ($3) arrived along with fragrant basmati rice, and two entree platters. The traditional yogurt condiment (I put it on everything!) was expertly laced with diced cucumbers, mint, cilantro and garlic. Rita had ordered the comforting butter chicken ($14)—easy to like with its coconut cream and tomato spice sauce, laden with shredded tandoori chicken.

I consider aloo gobi one of the great gifts of Indian cuisine, and Mumbai Delight’s version offered enormous chunks of potato and cauliflower, strewn with peas and highly aromatic spices. The tomatodriven sauce was distinguished by a fine balance of cumin, ginger and turmeric, bracingly “medium” hot— exactly the way I’d asked and hoped for ($12). The potatoes, especially, delivered the desired earthy comfort.

You know how it is with spiceladen food—we just ate and ate, using pieces of soft, tender naan to scoop up raita and traces of sauce.

Too bad it wasn’t later in the day—a cold Kingfisher beer would have been brilliant with this meal. Next time.

The menu here is tantalizing and comprehensive. Mumbai Delights is open daily for lunch and dinner, with a mega buffet I have yet to try.

Mumbai Delights, 810 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.-9 p.m., 9:30 p.m. on weekends.

WINE OF THE WEEK

The light and mineral-intensive Storrs Sauvignon Blanc 2014 made from Monterey grapes was the exactly right companion for spicy carry-out from O’mei last week. A beautiful light (13.3 percent alchohol) creation, it opened into a refreshing nose of ginger and kumquat, chestnut, flint and salt. I’m not delusional. Pour a glass for yourself, inhale deeply, let your senses look for the layers of flavor available in this and any wellmade wine. You can still just partner it with food and enjoy, but you’ll find yourself with a deepened appreciation for artisan winemakers like Pam and Steve Storrs. $18, at Shopper’s Corner.

egardless of how much it still feels like summer, Oktober begins this weekend. Yes, that’s with a “k”—I like to let my German side out a little bit to welcome in the change of seasons, and that also means slathering a delicious mustard on bratwursts and salt-encrusted pretzels. My favorite lately has been a local mustard made by Wilder Condiments. I first tried it at Stripe, lured in by its eye-catching graphic label, and ended up going home with all three varieties: a traditional Dijonstyle mustard with white wine, honey jalapeño and horseradish.

It’s amazing how many uses for mustard I find now that I have a few in rotation that I really love. A swipe will energize a burger or sandwich, of course, but it’s also delicious tossed with roasted potatoes, as a substantial dressing that can hold its own against hardboiled egg and lardons in salade lyonnaise, or as a marinade for grilled meat. It’s also easy to toss in a bag and take down to the beach for the last of the summer’s beach cookouts.

Isabel Freed, the one-woman show behind Wilder Condiments, is committed to using organic ingredients and sourcing them locally, which really makes her

products stand out. For example, she adds Bonny Doon Vineyards’ Le Cigare Blanc white wine to her classic mustard, and honey sourced from “an adorable couple in the hills of Mount Madonna” to the honey jalapeño. And she hand-makes every batch here in Santa Cruz, her hometown.

“We love Santa Cruz, and we seek to embody the place we come from.

The flavors in our mustard are the flavors of California: bright, sunny, and great quality. We hope people are enjoying our products with friends, and that we’re adding to the experience,” says Freed.

Available at New Leaf Markets, Stripe, Cameron Marks, Picnic Basket and Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard. wildercondiments.com.

hen seven of us got together over wine and food in the bar area at Seascape Beach Resort recently, we made short work of a bottle of Saratoga’s Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay 2013—and promptly ordered another. This is an excellent wine to pair with all kinds of food.

Most of us got there too late for the resort’s Happy Hour—from 4-6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday— so we ordered from the Restless Palate menu created by Chef Mario Garcia. It’s a menu of small bites, like fish tacos ($12), Mad Thai seared scallops ($16) and spicy ahi poke bowl ($16)—plates of food just perfect to share over wine and conversation.

Full, lush tropical fruit dominates this wine’s aromas and flavors.

Complex on the palate, it is a premier example of Central Coast Chardonnay. Grapes are harvested from Wolff Vineyard in the bucolic Edna Valley near San Luis Obispo, an ideal grape-growing region that yields the best possible fruit. This Mount Eden Chardonnay can be found in stores all over and sells for about $21 ($30 at Seascape Beach Resort). Mount Eden Vineyards, 888-865-9463. mounteden.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MICHAELMAS, LIBRA NEW MOON, ROSH HASHANAH Thursday, Sept. 29, is Michaelmas, Feast of Saint Michael, honoring Archangel Michael, protector of the Earth during Autumn. During each season a different cosmic protector or archangel tends, cares for and protects Earth and her kingdoms.

The Autumn Archangel is Michael. He carries a sword. Winter’s protector is Archangel Gabriel.

He has a special connection with Mary, Mother of Jesus. Spring’s Archangel is Raphael. He carries the chalice of healing. And summer’s protector is Uriel. He teaches in meadows and fields to all of the kingdoms. The devas (nature spirits) especially love him.

Friday is the new moon at 8.15 degrees Libra. At new moon festivals we “strengthen and support the endeavors of the New Group of World Servers (NGWS).” The NGWS works in all nations. Often unrecognized, its members

work with intention and dedication to bring into the world that which humanity needs. We must always ask ourselves when attempting to serve the world, “What does humanity need?”

Sunday night is the first evening of Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year, ending Tuesday evening. Rosh Hashanah celebrates Adam and Eve’s (humanity’s) creation and we contemplate upon humanity’s role in God’s world. It’s a day of judgment, too. The shofar (ram’s horn) is sounded, calling humanity to forgiveness. Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of Repentance culminating in Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement, Wednesday, Oct. 12). During Rosh Hashanah we eat apples dipped in honey, asking for a “sweet year” ahead, and bless one another with the words “L’shanah tovah.” (May you have a good year.)

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You will be called to teamwork, perhaps by competitors and possibly by those you consider enemies. Don’t fret or fuss. Libra is about bringing Right Human Relations, balance, and fairness to all interactions. You can initiate this through your intentions and will(ingness). This will enhance your public image, create new alliances, and affect your environments (inner and outer), friendships, and release love all around.

Do not be afraid of leadership. But do be aware that leadership is a razor-edged path. It’s important to understand that others look at leaders through the lens of their own experiences, wounds, childhood, expectations, needs and projections.

This is not comfortable for leaders. Only the courageous and loving can lead effectively. Begin to create new projects that will overflow into next year. Something’s almost over. As something new, a feeling, a forgiveness, perhaps, appears.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

It’s time to seriously consider another level of health, exercise, and proper eating—very necessary at this time to vitalize your energy system and adrenals. The emphasis now needs to be on service to self. Everyone around you, including pets, will be reflecting your health issues. Use homeopathics. Consider Ayurveda.

Add resveratrol, chlorella and herbs for the lymphs.

Swimming is good, too.

Visit the ill, the hospitalized, the shut away, the sad, the lonely, and the limited. Those in need. This will provide you with a perspective on your own life that leads to clear self-analysis, contemplation, and the ability to reorient yourself toward spiritual values. Tithe, be charitable, ask forgiveness for past omissions, and seek work that heals humanity. Big tasks for a courageous person (disciple).

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 28, 2016

GEMINI May 22–June 20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 It seems your property, what you own and/or where you live, has been in a state of reordering, reorganizing, reorientation, and transformation. At some point, emerging from your inner rooms you might consider creating a “garden room.” Perhaps it’s also time for a greenhouse and an uncluttered home office. Where and who is your community these days? What is your personal “Art of Living?”

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s a good time to write letters, the old fashioned way. It’s also good to contact family, siblings, old friends, and to renew relationships, which may have been set aside due to excess work, intense grief, or a general antipathy toward relationships. Visiting forests, woods, oceans and glens allows you to feel your relationship with all of life. The most nurturing and balanced of relationships is with the plant kingdom. Communicate with the green and violet devas.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Perhaps it’s time for a resale sale, or maybe a new look at your resources and valuable possessions. Assessing your resources with new eyes provides insight into what your true values are. How have your values changed in the past 12 years? Acknowledging what you value refreshes and regenerates your identity and directs your next steps on the path, which, then again, could change.

Are there several social contracts or social aspirations that you consciously or unconsciously adhere to? Ask yourself if there are opportunities for a new occupation that would benefit you if you told others of your immediate and farreaching aspirations and life goals? How is your financial situation? Things are attempting to balance and reorient themselves to the light this month. Short trips out and about are good. They bring you to right balanced perspective.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 New work goals and newer ways to offer your gifts, talents and abilities come forth. Review past work and know that it was good. Know also that you can summon all gifts from your many past lives into your present and ask that they be applied efficiently and brilliantly to this life. Ask also that they provide you with art and beauty. Ponder on possible plans and goals. All things beneficent fall into your world, your daily life. You create rituals of gratitude.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It’s time to contemplate upon a long-range life program.

Ask yourself, “What do I want to learn and to do? Where do I want to go? Whom do I want to meet and include in my life?” Recognize that answers to these questions bring light to your life’s needs, providing you with a view of your aspirations. And your inner nature. Write your answers down in a notebook, anchoring them. Know everything will come to pass. Perhaps a home is first.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Continue to eliminate things in your life that are not in alignment with order, organization, purity and simplicity.

Pay all debts and continue saving. Economic prudence is most important now, and will later become a resource.

There are several very important items needing to manifest in your life to be used communally. See yourself working with the Law of Attraction. It comes with Love. Conserve all spending as you conserve your energy. A new talent arises.

(Prep 15 m, Cook 3h 30 m) - Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

- Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt, then arrange the pork in the Dutch oven. Cook until Torres Verdeo browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the Verdejo 2013 onion, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue to simmer until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

- Transfer the pork shoulder to a large baking sheet, reserving the cooking liquid. Drizzle with a small amount of the reserved cooking liquid and lightly season with salt.

- Bake the pork in the preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes. Drizzle more of the cooking liquid on the meat every 10 minutes, and use two forks to shred the meat as it browns.

- Serve the carnitas with warm, fresh tortillas and salsa and lime wedges

Occupation: Architectural steel worker Hobbies: Swimming, rowing, hiking, cooking Astrological Sign: Sagittarius You folks cook together? ALLEN: “Yes, we cook all kinds of food together, from Hawaiian and Asian to French and more.” ROSE: “He’s really good with sauces, and he makes real French fries.” ALLEN: “I like the pasta here at Shopper’s, especially Pasta Mike’s fresh raviolis, and they have a good selection of dry pasta.” ROSE: “We get a variety of meats from the butcher department, and the guys are really knowledgeable. They are real butchers, they’re not just stacking meat. And they’re friendly, actually everybody at Shopper’s is. They all know our daughter, Emma.”

ALLEN: “Shopper’s is an important local business.”

How so? ALLEN: “Shopper’s is like the the pillar of the community. It’s always been here.”

ROSE: “We prefer to support local businesses, and this place has personality, as opposed to so many other stores.” ALLEN: Shopper’s seems to know what we and other locals want. We don’t need 50 brands of cereal — just a few good ones are fine. It’s rare that we can’t find what we’re looking for such as rice noodles, nori for sushi, seasonings and herbs— both fresh and dried — plus a variety of great vinegars, olive oils, and cheeses.” ROSE: “Shopper’s is unique with their broad range of products.”

Unique in what way? ROSE: “Shopper’s caters to a variety of tastes and demands, from all-natural and organic products, to the every-day basics, gourmet and specialty, international, and, of course, local, which includes the always-fresh produce.” ALLEN: “Shopper’s has an excellent wine selection — there’s always good choices for every budget. We recommend Shopper’s for the quality, fair pricing, and good service.” ROSE: “It’s also quaint and cozy — I love the wooden floors! — with a pleasant, friendly environment. Shopper’s is a leader in the community.

It provides good jobs for many locals.”

“Shopper’s has real butchers, and they’re really helpful and knowledgeable. They’re no just stacking meat.
