OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Driving from Northern California to Southern California for a short vacation in July, it seemed like the entire state was on fire.

The Soberanes blaze that started north of Big Sur burned more than 100,000 acres, and the Sand fire that had just started north of Los Angeles—and would go on to burn nearly 50,000 acres—had us fleeing Interstate 5 for the windy cliff roads above Santa Clarita. Skies were dark from the smoke along parts of the freeway.

I’ve had plenty of experience with wildfires in California—including watching a 10-foot wall of flames

BIG MONEY FUNDING D

4

Big Money is trying to influence local politics.

The campaign to pass Measure D reports raising more than $380,000. As far as I know, that’s a historic high for spending on a Santa Cruz County ballot measure.

Ninety-eight percent of these funds come from contributions of $1,000 or more.

Nearly a quarter of Measure D funds would go to widen Highway 1 for auxiliary lanes. So it makes sense that half of Yes on D funds come from construction interests. Topping the list of contributors is the “California Alliance for Jobs,” which describes itself as representing “more than 2,000 heavy construction companies.”

I was flabbergasted to read the Yes on D mailer make the claim that “This is not about widening Highway 1.” The mailer also claims that auxiliary lanes on Highway 1 will reduce congestion. But Big Money can’t change last year’s Caltrans report that any congestion relief would be “very slight.” See WideningWontWork. org for details.

MEASURE D BOOSTS VITAL SERVICES As the Board of Directors of Community Bridges, we are imploring you to vote “yes” on Measure D.

come over the top of the hill behind my family’s home on the Central Coast as a kid—but the sheer scope of what happened this summer was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

I heard and read a lot of people blaming it all on the drought in a very unspecific, unscientific way, as if it was enough to say that less rain equals more fire. Personally, I wanted to understand the real reasons—why exactly has the drought made our fire seasons so much worse? And now that I’ve read Kara Guzman’s cover story this week, I do. I hope that you’ll read it, as well, as it’s the single best story I’ve read on the new reality we’re facing with wildfires both here in Santa Cruz County and around the state.

Finally, one last time: Vote on Nov. 8!

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Why? It is the bridge that helps provide the vital transit services for our seniors and people with disabilities. Transportation services like “Lift Line,” one of the many life-sustaining programs under Community Bridges, will be able to continue and expand the vital services that currently ensure more than 80,000 paratransit medical door-to-door rides annually free of charge.

Your half-penny increase will go toward not only improving our local roads and light rail system, but also enabling increased transportation services for our populations of seniors, people with disabilities, and our infirmed—without which many of them would miss life-saving medical appointments or remain homebound, feeling desperate in their isolation. Your support for Measure D will generate about $500 million over the next 30 years; it will alleviate our congested roadways; it will invest in the public process to determine if rail service is a good fit for our community; and most importantly, it will expand transportation for the elderly and the disabled. So what can half of a penny do?

It will save lives and it will buy personal dignity and life-saving independence for our mothers, our brothers and our neighbors.

There does exist a segment of our community that opposes any type of increase.

As board members, we know it is our obligation to extend our hands to help serve those most in need and we seek to >8

As locals grapple with how to address homelessness, the Calvary Episcopal Church will host a discussion on the subject. The red church on Center Street downtown has long been known for supporting the homeless, whether with food distribution or a warm place to sleep on frigid nights. The chat at the church’s Parish Hall from to 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 will include a short video and stories from former homeless people. Space is limited.

From our Working On It, But Not Quite There Department: Cowell Beach topped Heal the Bay’s list of dirty California Beach Bummers once again, but this year bacteria was 50 percent lower than last year, city and environmental leaders have announced.

They attribute the drop to efforts from the Seaside Company and the City of Santa Cruz to cut back on waste and reduce the amount of bird poop entering the water.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 2 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I am in awe of your head-first, charge-forward, no-distractions approach. In fact, I aspire to incorporate more of the Aries-style directness into my own repertoire.

But I also love it when, on rare occasions, you flirt with a more strategic perspective. It amuses me to see you experimenting with the power of secrets. Your wisdom often grows at an expedited rate when you get caught up in a web of intrigue that exposes you to dark joys and melodramatic lessons. During times like these, you feel fine about not having everything figured out, about not knowing the most straightforward route to your destination. You allow the riddles and enigmas to ferment as you bask in the voluptuous ambiance of the Great Mystery. Now is such a time.

Over the course of his or her life, the average British person says “Sorry” on more than 90,000 occasions. The typical Libran Brit probably utters routine apologies upwards of 120,000 times. Libras from other countries may not reach that heady level, but many do specialize in excessive politeness. (I should know, as I have three planets in Libra in my natal chart.) But in accordance with the astrological indicators, I am authorizing you to be a bit less courteous and solicitous than usual in the next two weeks. Don’t go overboard, of course. But allowing yourself some breathing room like this will help you get more rigorous access to your authentic, idiosyncratic, soulful urges—which will be very tonic.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

Until 2007, Scotland’s official slogan was “Scotland, the Best Small Country in the World.” Deciding that wasn’t sufficiently upbeat, the government spent $187,000 on a campaign to come up with something better. “Home of Golf” and “Home of Europe’s Fastest Growing Life Sciences Community” were among the proposed phrases that were rejected. The ultimate choice: “Welcome to Scotland.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because you’re in a favorable phase to rebrand yourself. But I hope you will be more daring and imaginative than Scotland. How about “Smolderingly Alarmingly Brilliant”? Or maybe “Safely Risky and Unpredictably Wise” or “Home of the Best Secrets Ever”?

I am pleased to inform you that at least 30 percent of what you think you know about love and lust is too prosaic. Probably too narrow and constrained, as well.

But here’s the good news: As soon as you agree to relinquish the dull certainty of that 30-plus percent, you will open yourself to a surge of fresh teachings.

And soon, I expect, dewy throbs and hot flows will awaken in all the erotic parts of your body, including your heart and brain and soul. If you’re brave enough to respond, generous lessons in intimacy will keep you entertained for weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20 Over the last two decades, well-meaning Westerners have donated a profusion of clothes to low-income folks in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Kind and magnanimous, right? Yes, but their largesse has had an unintended consequence: the demise of the textile industry in those African countries. With this as a cautionary tale, I’m asking you to take inventory of your own acts of benevolence and charity. Are they having effects that you approve of? If not completely, how could you adjust the way you give your gifts and bestow your blessings?

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Is it possible that you might flourish as a topdog after all the work you’ve put in as an underdog? Can you wean yourself from the worried fantasy that you’ve got endless dues to pay, and then harness your imagination to expand your confidence and build your clout? I believe you can. And in the coming weeks I will unleash a flood of prayers to the Goddess of Holy Reversals, asking her to assist you. Now please repeat after me: “I am a creative force of nature. I am a strong song of liberation. I am a wise animal with direct access to my primal intelligence.”

The next two weeks could be smooth, peaceful, and bland. Is that the experience you want? Mild satisfactions, sweet boredom, and slow progress? There’s nothing wrong with any of that. Please feel free to loll and loaf as you explore the healing charms of laziness.

Grant yourself permission to avoid conflict and cultivate sunny self-protectiveness. This is one of those times when silence and stasis are among the best gifts you can give yourself. Welcome the rejuvenating power of emptiness!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 It’s time to replace banged-up, dried-out old obsessions with ripe, juicy fascinations. It’s your duty to phase out numbing traditions and deadening habits so as to make room for exciting new rituals, customs, and sacraments. Can you summon the electric willpower to shed influences that are technically “correct” but lacking in soulfulness? I think you can. Do you love yourself enough to forswear pretty but meaningless titillations?

I think you do. Now get out there and do the hard work necessary to bring more serious fun into your life.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I cheer you on as you attend to your difficult but holy duties. I send you my love as you summon the wisdom and resourcefulness you need to weather the gorgeous storm. Here are clues that might be useful: Whether you are partially or totally victorious will depend as much on the attitude you hold in your heart as on your outward behavior. Be grateful, never resentful, for the interesting challenges. Love your struggles for the new capacities they are building in you.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The coming weeks constitute the harvest phase of your personal cycle. That means you have the pleasure of gathering in the ripe rewards that you have been cultivating since your last birthday. But you also have the responsibility to answer and correct for any carelessness you have allowed to affect your efforts during the previous eleven months. Don’t worry, dear. My sense is that the goodies and successes far outnumber and overshadow the questionable decisions and failures. You have ample reasons to celebrate. But I hope you won’t get so caught up in your rightful exaltation that you’ll neglect the therapeutic atonements.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Like England and Spain, the Netherlands has a royal family, including a king, queen, prince, and princesses. They’re an egalitarian bunch. The young ones attend public schools, and the previous queen’s birthday is celebrated with a nationwide flea market. The king’s crown is attractive but quite economical. Its pearls are fake, and other “jewels” are made of glass, colored foil, and fish scales. In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you create a regal but earthy headpiece for yourself. It’s high time for you to elevate your self-worth in an amusing and artful way. What fun and funky materials will you use in your homemade crown?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In her book, A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman reports on the eccentric methods that professional writers have used to galvanize their creative process. Poet Amy Lowell relaxed into her work day by puffing on Manila cigars. Novelist Colette plucked fleas from her cat. T. S. Eliot’s poetry thrived when he had a head cold. Novelist George Sand liked to jump out of bed after making love and immediately begin writing.

Novelist William Gass, who is still among the living, wanders around outside taking photos of “rusty, derelict, overlooked, downtrodden” places. As for D. H. Lawrence: climbing mulberry trees naked energized his genius.

What about you, Pisces? Now is an excellent time to draw intensely on your reliable sources of inspiration—as well as to seek new ones.

Please join our board by voting “yes” on Measure D in November!

LINDA FAWCETT | BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COMMUNITY BRIDGES

REASONS FOR D I want to live in a way that honors the oneness that connects people, the planet and our fellow species. To achieve this, we need to shift how we live and work. We as individuals have incredible power to create such change.

That is why I’m excited to support Measure D, the greenest transportation measure on the California ballot this year. More than 30 percent of Santa Cruz residents do not drive; Measure D will prevent cuts to Metro bus service and expand Lift Line services that keep seniors connected with family, grocery and medical services. Mountain lions and other wildlife need a safe way across Highway 17, which Measure D will fund. And, last but not least, more than 60 percent of Measure D funds will go to bicycle, pedestrian and other sustainable transportation projects, which will empower each of us to make safer, healthier and (honestly) more fun choices for ourselves and the planet.

NEWS STILL FUMING A proposed state regulation would curb pesticide use near schools, but community members say it needs to go further

NOVEMBER 2-8, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ARDY RAGHIAN

After preparing her children for school early each morning, Juanita, a single mother of four, spends 10 hours picking strawberries in Watsonville for about $10 an hour.

“People don’t know the sacrifice it takes to bring that piece of fruit to your table,” she says, speaking through an interpreter at a friend’s house. “I’ve felt discriminated against and dismissed as a human being without feelings, as an animal in the mud, just because I don’t have papers.”

With an estimated 83 percent of the county’s farmworkers undocumented, Juanita says employees like herself don’t feel safe to speak up about poor working conditions and hazards like pesticide use.

“They spray pesticides in front and around us without any regard to the harms that come from it,” says Juanita, who asked not to use her real name. As the rain trickles behind the living room door of her friend’s home, she shares stories of coworkers vomiting and even fainting from the fumes.

But it isn’t just farmworkers facing the consequences of harmful pesticides—their children are also at risk. California’s Latino school children are 91 percent more likely than white children to attend school near the heaviest use of the most hazardous pesticides, and in Monterey County the number is 320 percent, according to a 2014 California Department of Public Health study.

“This situation is exactly like Flint, Michigan, only the agent is different and the population is all Latino. It’s environmental racism,” says Dr. Ann Lopez, an environmental scientist and executive director of the Center for Farmworker Families (CFF), based in Felton.

Concerns over pesticide applications expressed by groups like CFF led the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) to propose a new regulation last month looking to give nearby schools an extra layer of protection.

The proposal would prohibit pesticide applications within a quarter mile of public K-12 schools and child day-care facilities from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and would require growers to send advance notification when pesticides are applied. >14

Measure D excites some bike lovers and drivers while others question money for Highway 1 BY JACOB PIERCE

A

s it’s drawn up, a trail along the rail corridor will hug the Santa Cruz coastline, ribboning under eucalyptus groves and linking Davenport to South County.

“This is going to be something that draws people from around the country, from around the state, around the world,” says Amelia Conlen, transportation coordinator for the City of Santa Cruz and the outgoing

executive director for the nonprofit Bike Santa Cruz County. “The end goal is to connect it up to the Monterey bike path, so that it’s completely encircling the Monterey Bay.” The Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail—often called the Coastal Rail Trail or rail with trail—has been rolling ahead faster than many thought possible three years ago, when it got approval from the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC).

It’s also a hot item this election season.

Although the trail has not broken ground yet, about a third of the 32-mile trail has secured some funding, and about a quarter has been funded through construction.

Conlen calls the fundraising achievements “incredible” so far.

And a measure on this year’s ballot promises about $85 million more.

then we’ll have a pot of construction money ready to go,” says Conlen, who has still been filling in one day a week at the nonprofit, while it searches for its next executive director.

Funding so far has been raised by advocacy groups like Friends of the Rail Trail, Bike Santa Cruz County and the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County—all of which have thrown their support behind Measure D—and RTC staff helped secure additional federal funding for a trail that some environmentalists think could be a keystone for the area.

“You go to so many places in California or in Colorado or even on the East Coast, and they have these bike features on the rivers or the rail line,” says Piet Canin, vice president of transportation for Ecology Action and a board member for Friends of the Rail Trail, both of which have endorsed Measure D. The $500 million in the hotly contested Measure D, which is on the Nov. 8 ballot, would come from a halfcent sales tax. The tax would replace a quarter-cent sales tax, amounting to a 25 percent increase over current levels. The text of the measure divides the money into five projects, the biggest being “neighborhood projects” with about $135 million going to local road improvements and bike lanes and $15 million more split between improvements in the San Lorenzo Valley and a wildlife crossing over Highway 17.

Measure D promises 25 percent, or about $125 million, of the money for highway improvements, the most controversial part of the measure. Some of that would pay for bicycle and pedestrian bridges over Highway 1, but most of it would fund auxiliary lanes, which would run from onramp to off-ramp from Santa Cruz south to State Park Drive.

Activist Rick Longinotti notes that a CalTrans environmental analysis of highway widening found that there would be negligible improvement in traffic reduction, despite the fact that the document was looking at a more comprehensive approach than what the measure would fund. The impact from Measure D, he argues, would be even smaller.

“Auxiliary lanes do a real disservice

BOARD STATEMENT Last year, Pauline Seales and other activists tried to get

highway widening out of the transportation measure. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER to the people in Aptos because it’s not going to do the job that’s promised to reduce congestion,” Longinotti says.

The rest of the money is slated for buses, Lift Line services, the rail trail, and an analysis of options for the rail corridor, including a look at possible passenger services.

GETTING A HANDLE Mindy White, a doctor working in internal medicine in Capitola, loves taking short bike rides around town with her daughters, ages 6 and 9.

“We do a lot of biking, and I love the idea of a trail. I think making it easier and safer for people to bike with more bike lanes, better marked—I think that’s super important,” says White, a Measure D supporter who says that she and her husband Boone love to take their daughters cycling down the Arana Gulch Multi-Use Trail, which opened last year. “It makes biking much less nerve-racking. And then, I do support the highway widening.

I support the auxiliary lanes. I think they have done something. Traffic is at a crisis point. And if we don’t do something about traffic, people will just cut through neighborhoods.”

Although she generally tries hard to avoid rush hour traffic, White, who lives in Seabright, says the auxiliary lanes from Ocean Street to Soquel Avenue have already sped up traffic, and she hopes extending them would help even more. Still, she hasn’t been able to convince everyone in her house

that the measure would change streets any noticeable amount. Her husband Boone calls the whole plan a scattered “shotgun approach” that won’t make a difference in any one area.

With the amount of growth county and city leaders expect, he says, the new merge lanes would clog up with as much traffic as ever in no time.

“It’s just putting a Band-Aid on a problem that’s probably not going to be helped by a Band-Aid. It’s not going to accommodate those people,” says Boone, a lawyer who bikes into work on Ocean Street everyday.

He isn’t exactly sure how he’d like to fix congestion, but it would probably involve a bigger investment in public transportation, he says.

Longinotti—the leading activist who convinced the city to put a desalination plant on hold—hopes that if he and others can now block highway widening, it will force government leaders to re-think how to approach transportation.

RTC officials say that a balanced measure with something for everyone has the best shot at passing. But activists would like to see something come back without the highway in it and with more funding for METRO buses, which recently scaled back service and isn’t sure how much they could restore under Measure D. It would mean at least two years of deeper cuts to METRO, a gamble Longinotti’s willing to take if it might mean a more robust system in a few years. >17

PLAYGROUND SAFETY Fields with pesticides come close to some schools, like Amesti Elementary, although local growers have agreed to move fumigation applications to weekends. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

STILL FUMING <10 Leaders at organizations like the CFF and Californians for Pesticide Reform doubt that the regulation is truly protective, and have instead been calling for a one-mile buffer zone, and an end to pesticide applications on weekdays.

A study from UC Berkeley took a close look at farmworker families in Salinas and found hundreds of children with health effects linked to pesticides. The study found chlorpyrifos contamination, a potent neurotoxin, in homes up to 1.8 miles from treated fields. And a 2014 UC Davis study found that pregnant women who lived within one mile of fields on which pesticides like chlorpyrifos were used had a

60 percent increased risk of having children with autism spectrum disorder. A 2011 Environmental Health Perspectives report found elevated pesticide concentrations in homes 0.75 miles from the application sites.

Another study from five years ago published

by Environmental Health Perspectives looked at 1,565 nonoccupational pesticide drift cases, the technical term for when the chemicals spread from a farm. Eighty-five percent of the cases, according to the report, occurred within one mile of the source, while 51 percent occurred between a quarter mile and one mile.

This suggests, activists argue, that the quartermile buffer would have only protected a mere 34 percent of these people.

Eight of the 10 most heavily used pesticides near schools persist in the

environment for more than a week, according to a 2014 California Environmental Health Tracking Program report.

“This stuff sits in the field and just waits for the next air current to be blown into schools or residences. Children are constantly being exposed,” says Lopez. She adds that children are more susceptible to the negative effects of pesticides like chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxin banned in 2001 by the Environmental Protection Agency for all residential use—but not agricultural use.

Last year, the DPR held a series of workshops around the state asking for input prior to drafting the regulation. Three were in the Monterey area, including in Salinas. The DPR has extended the deadline for public input to December of 2017, and it plans to host a

workshop in Salinas this December. As of now, state pesticide regulators have rejected calls for a one-mile buffer zone.

“We considered the one-mile buffer zone and looked at what the activist groups had to show, and concluded that a quarter-mile is safe, and addressed their concerns,” says Charlotte Fadipe, assistant director of communications for the DPR. Juan Hidalgo, Santa Cruz County Agricultural Commissioner, agrees with the DPR that a quarter-mile buffer is sufficient.

“This regulation actually does a lot, it goes beyond additional requirements we currently have,” he says. “It does a lot to prevent concerns from school teachers.”

Last month, he says, all local growers within a quarter-mile of schools verbally agreed to use fumigants on weekends only, after a meeting with teachers and parents. (Fumigants are a specific type of pesticide that are typically injected one foot into the soil and covered in a plastic tarp, however, the injected fumigant can still drift.) This year, there have only been five actions that have resulted in fines to growers for violations of pesticide use laws and regulations, says Hidalgo. “Growers here are quite proactive, most farms near schools try and do them outside of school hours or weekends,” he says.

Francisco Rodriguez, president of the Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers, joins Lopez and other activists in calling for the one-mile buffer. Their main concern, he says, is with two fumigants, chloropicrin and telone, both known toxins. He adds that within the past month, the union has been more proactive about directly notifying parents when there is a scheduled application.

There is just one DPR-funded air monitoring machine in his district, leaving most schools unable to tell parents exactly what their children are being exposed to.

“We’re concerned with longer term exposure and what that does to the development of the child,” he says. Union leaders, he adds, have supported legislation this year providing incentives to growers around schools that move toward safer, organic farming—namely California Senate Bill 1247, or “Agricultural Innovation Zones: Voluntary Incentive Program.” Introduced by state Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara, the bill died before reaching a vote, and there are no plans to bring it back to the table. Still, activists like Lopez continue to call for a shift away from pesticides.

“The ideal is the transformation of agriculture,” says Lopez. “It’s completely unsustainable to allow the release of any of the toxic chemicals into the environment.”

NEWS PAVING GRACE <12 It’s anyone’s guess when the next vote would be. The last time a transportation measure was on the ballot was 12 years ago, when voters defeated a more lopsided measure aiming to spend $360 million on highway widening. Since then, experts, politicians and pollsters spent years weighing in on how to create a measure with more balance.

Meanwhile, the county’s roads are falling apart quickly, with the county’s newly released pavement condition index ranked 50th out of 58 counties. And according to a chart from the county’s public works, the cost of major road rehabilitation once a road has begun deteriorating can run five to eight times more expensive than more routine restoration.

Stephen Gray, the chief administrative officer at Sutter Maternity and Surgery Center of Santa Cruz, says he has decided to support Measure D partly because of traffic congestion, and partly because of the problem traffic congestion can cause for doctors and patients in an emergency.

“My doctors don’t have sirens on their cars, so they can’t get through when they’ve been called. Certain specialty positions could be in an office seeing a patient, and then they need to get into a hospital if there’s an emergency. If it takes a lot of extra time because of traffic, that can be a real concern,” says Gray, who adds that any improvement in flow would also help ambulances get through more quickly as well.

He also hopes that more sidewalks and better bike lanes would keep locals safer. The new bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, he says, would also create a healthier, more active county.

Mindy White says she too wants to see the measure pass to make people’s lives a little healthier and a little happier.

“That’s my big thing. Quality of life. We just work so hard,” she says.

“Everyone spends so much time working. If you have kids, there’s so little time for a social life. If you’re spending all that time in the car everyday, it’s a huge bummer, it’s a huge loss.”

What the Blaze Is How changing forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains are making wildfires worse

BY KARA GUZMAN

NOVEMBER 2-8, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

n the afternoon of Sept. 26, Santa Cruz County residents watched in horror as a thin smoke plume at the Summit became an ominous mushroom cloud that was visible for miles.

For two weeks, the Santa Cruz Mountain peak looked like an erupting volcano as the Loma fire burned 4,474 acres and destroyed 12 homes and 16 other buildings. Hundreds were evacuated.

At its height, more than 2,000 personnel battled the fire day and night, from the air and on land. The Loma fire was contained on Oct. 10, but firefighters are still at the scene, finishing repairs. Not including damages, more than $17 million has been spent so far to control it, according to Cal Fire staff.

In fact, much of California was ablaze this summer. In August, the Blue Cut fire near Los Angeles burned more than 36,000 acres. The Soberanes fire in Big Sur, which began July 22, burned for nearly three months, consuming 132,127 acres. Last month, the state had 43 wildfires. And yet, fire season is just beginning—in the Santa Cruz Mountains, fall brings prime conditions for wildfires—parched vegetation, less fog and dry north winds.

It’s not just the number of wildfires that’s startling, but also their intensity. Wildfires now burn twice as many acres as they did 30 years ago, and scientists expect that figure to double again in the next 30 years. Fire seasons are also three months longer than they were in the 1970s, according to a 2015 U.S. Forest Service report. As California’s wildfires grow bigger and hotter, this summer’s explosive blazes may be a sign of what’s to come.

The two largest fires ever recorded on the Central Coast both happened in the last decade. One of them, the Zaca fire near Santa Barbara in 2007, was particularly intense, burning all vegetation to the ground and leaving nothing over roughly 170,000 acres, says Chris Potter, a research scientist at NASA who studies wildfires and the Santa Cruz Mountain forests.

“So if that’s an indicator or representative of what’s to come for the kind of fires we’re going to have in the future, they’re going to be difficult to control, burning larger areas, in really remote kinds of terrain that makes it very difficult for firefighters,” Potter says.

All the research points to a single overwhelming factor behind the frequency and size of California’s wildfires, says Potter: air temperature. Hot days often come with low humidity and wind, which makes flames burn hotter and faster. And only a few hot, dry days are needed to prime an ignition.

“It’s just perfect for spreading fire. Hot, and then a little bit of wind, and you’ve got yourself a huge problem,” Potter says.

Climate change from fossil fuels and the buildup of greenhouse gases is making wildfires more dangerous, he says. The warming trend has already increased the frequency of fires on the Central Coast. Huge wildfires like the Soberanes fire used to occur every 25 to 30 years.

Now they come once a decade.

“Because we’ve changed the climate here, that’s our new normal.

That’s what you have to expect, and what you have to prepare for,”

Potter says. “Not only will they be bigger than ever, but they’ll burn hotter, with more severity. So it will be hard to save structures that are within their pathway. We’re already spending $1 billion per year to control fire in the state. So the more you can do to not stay in the way and not build in remote places, the better off we’ll be in protecting what we have in the mountains.”

CHANGING SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAIN FORESTS Hot, dry days prime the ignition, but it’s vegetation that fuels wildfires.

And over the past century, the plant communities of the Santa Cruz Mountains have seen drastic change.

If left unchecked, Santa Cruz Mountains grassland turns to shrubland, then to increasingly thick forest. Wildfires and grazing animals, and later, people, have kept the balance for most of the mountains’ history. First came the mastodons and mammoths—giant tusked beasts—which ate grass and leaves. Then for thousands of years, Native Americans managed the land with prescribed burns. In the 1800s, the timber and farming industries began thinning the forests, also with prescribed burns.

So historically, when wildfires started, as is natural for this region, they mostly burned a small area and died on their own, since they had relatively little fuel.

But since the 1900s, the Santa Cruz Mountains have been mostly unmanaged for the first time in history, creating a different, thicker forest, says David Van Lennep, a local forester for the Redwood

Empire lumber company. Not only have prescribed burns become rare, but any wildfire that pops up is immediately suppressed.

“There’s more flammable material in the mountains now than there has been in past years. The fires that we’ve seen starting in 2008 in the Santa Cruz Mountains are kind of a new phenomenon,” Van Lennep says.

The Summit fire near Corralitos in 2008 was the last significant wildfire in the region, scorching 4,270 acres. It burned some dense areas that hadn’t seen fire in almost a century. Roughly 40 percent of the Santa Cruz Mountains is public land that is mostly unmanaged, said Van Lennep.

Tim Hyland, senior environmental scientist for the Santa Cruz district of California State Parks, says prescribed burns occur in less than 1 percent of the 65,000 acres of state land in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties.

Prescribed burns are difficult in the Santa Cruz Mountains. For one, the Clean Air Act limits the amount of smoke that can be produced.

Also, as more people move into the mountains, there’s a smaller area that can be burned safely, Hyland says.

Orre said the Loma fire luckily had no significant wind, otherwise it would have grown much larger.

“It was a fuel-driven fire,” says Orre. “It was a very hot, dry day [when it started] and the fire was burning daytime and nighttime, very aggressively. We were very successful at keeping it from getting any bigger than it was, but it was a tough fire to put out, until the weather changed.”

clear then return, says Ed Orre, forester and division chief of Cal Fire’s Santa Clara unit.

That’s no longer the case. Fires are now extinguished as fast as possible.

“Because we’ve suppressed fire for so long, everything’s built up across the landscape, and now we have large expanses of heavy fuels and dry vegetation,” Orre says. “And so we’re not getting those smaller patch burns and maintaining that mosaic on the landscape. We’re getting bigger, larger fires. And when the weather is really hot and dry and the fire starts, it’s really difficult to catch.”

A NEW FOREST Change how fires spread, and you change the plant community, says Hyland.

For example, the Santa Cruz Mountains are being swallowed by invasive plants, many of which are flammable. After the 2008 Summit fire, stinkwort and French broom took over places where they didn’t grow before. These invasive weeds specialize in spreading to newly burned places, and beat out the native species, says Hyland.

“They’re not good habitat for all the animal species. I like to refer to them as ‘empty calories’ in the ecosystem,” Hyland says. “They take up space, but they don’t contribute to the food pyramid.”

“So that’s really an issue. If we start seeing increased fires, which seems almost certain that we will and already are, then that puts us at risk for all these weeds to win out after the fires.”

The Santa Cruz Mountains are also overwhelmed by Douglas firs, says Hyland. These trees are flammable and historically have been controlled by wildfires. But because of fire suppression, Douglas firs are spreading at incredible rates, swamping out rare plant communities.

Forest managers are now removing Douglas firs and trying to preserve oaks, which are more fire resistant. The hope is that when fires become more frequent and intense, the forest will be more resilient, says Hyland.

Another problem facing forest

managers is sudden oak death, which is widespread in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a disease caused by a water mold, and has flared up in the last five years, says Shannon Lynch, a UCSC doctoral student studying tree disease. She says it’s unclear how many oak trees are affected, but sudden oak death is the primary disease affecting local forests.

Contrary to the name, “it’s not a sudden death,” says Lynch. “It takes an estimated five years for a tree to actually die. When it’s attacked, it’s just those last several months that the tree appears healthy, apart from some bleeding symptoms on the trunk. But within a couple of weeks, all of a sudden the canopy changes, but it’s been running its course for a number of years on the tree,” Lynch says.

As sudden oak death kills more trees, it creates more possible fuel for fires, says Orre.

He urges Santa Cruz Mountains residents to “harden their homes” to fire. Homes are usually damaged by falling embers, not racing flames, he says. Orre recommends that they also install fireproof roofs and siding, keep gutters clean, cover chimneys and vents with metal mesh, replace single-paned and large windows with stronger ones, equip garages with fire extinguishers, and post address signs so they’re clearly visible from the road. Residents should clear a perimeter around their houses, he says.

“If people are going to be living in the wildland or on the edge of the wildland, they need to be as prepared as they can for the eventuality of a fire coming through,” Orre says.

Interesting Cruzioworks coworkers? Check! Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing? Check! Food Trucks? Of course. All the makings of an awesome party! And we haven’t even told you about the “Wheel of Life!”

926 Soquel Ave. 6pm-9pm

Some have called Mark Brandwene the “Picasso of Neon.”

Don’t fact check that, maybe no one has ever called him that. The point is, his work is really, really cool, and not your run-of-the-mill neon signs. His work will be lit up and on display this month at Midtown Guitar Company. Also featured will be the classical guitar of Sharat Entwistle.

Multiple Locations Do you want an immersive evening of “Pleasure Point Lifestyle?” This First Friday will give you surf, skate, pizza, beer and the whole Monterey Bay. Stop in at Pleasure Point Eatery, Friday Realty and New Bohemia Brewing and see three amazing local art shows. Jimbo, Nelly and Diana Viacheslavovna Walsworth — each exemplify the the culture of Santa Cruz in their varied work.

FIRST FRIDAY FOCUS Carolyn (Cat) Klein Lagattuta has made a name for herself selling photos of her chalk drawings, and many other subjects, on Stocksy.

Lupulo - Christopher Allen and Enrique Lopez 233 Cathcart St. 5:30pm-9:30pm

I know we don’t have to add reasons to stop in at Lupulo, but here are two more. Christopher Allen’s assemblage sculptural works repurpose the craziest materials and offshoots of materials - wait, is that barbed wire? The transformation of some of these rigid industrial elements into flowing works inspired by the ocean and nature is truly inspired. Paired with the striking prints of Enrique, this show makes for a must-stop location this First Friday!

Cat now has more than 8,000 photos on her Flickr page, which has been viewed 7 million times. If you look through those images, you’ll discern a certain tone to them — exuberant, joyful, serene. “I’m a happy person,” Cat said. “I want to project happiness.”

Incorporating bits and pieces from her own life, and the lives of her friends and relatives—her mom’s red chair, her grandmother’s petticoats— Redchairdiaries is a gestural dance poured from Griffin’s heart. It’s sprinkled with some original music by Voidflesh, some rap, some classical, and “a bunch of Tom Waits.”

“I had this thing where I started exploring performance art, bringing improvisation and props and more imagery into what I’ve presented,” she says.

The 40-minute show builds on works she’s done over the past few years: six installations in six locations that include bits she’s taken and put into the multimedia show, from one vignette with war paint to a photo series of everyday items to a duet series with local dancer Molly Katzman. It’s multimedia and multifaceted, building on Griffin’s desire to transform space.

The show is a culmination of a lifetime of dance; growing up, Griffin did everything from hiphop to tap, and they all show up in Redchairdiaries, in a way, says Griffin.

The show’s title is a reference to those who’ve had an impact on her, especially Tony Brintzenhoff, who photographed her years ago. She’d brought a red chair with her for a photo shoot in his garage, and he ended up naming the series The Red Chair Diary.

“That really struck me,” says Griffin. “I emailed out a blast for a recent project, he was in my email list, and his wife responded that he’d passed away. That was really special that he gave me … almost an identity, in some ways.”

Sometimes we forget how people in our lives shape our experience of the world and development as people, says Griffin. Redchairdiaries is a way for her to say thank you to those in

hers—like her girlfriend of 11 years, Yvonne M. Portra, who’s collaborated as photographer, and modern choreographer Keith Johnson.

“I’ve been wanting to commission him or work for him as a dancer for the past 14 years since I went to school in Long Beach [where he runs a company]. I’ve always been terrified—just, you know, self-doubt and not thinking I was good enough.

But he also had one of the strongest impacts on me in my training in terms of aesthetic, how he approaches movement,” says Griffin. “For years I taught my classes modelled after parts of his. So I finally got the guts to ask him to be involved in this project.”

It was a dream come true, says Griffin, to collaborate with Johnson on the final piece of her show, which they did via internet. The process, aided by her friends, was a major growing up process.

It’s also changed what she wants her dance to mean, says Griffin.

“Originally as a dancer, I wanted to dance for companies, but that sort of shifted in terms of culture—that’s not really a realistic goal for me,” says Griffin. “I want to use dance as a way for healing and bring it to different audiences.”

And while the influences might not be immediately readable to the audience, says Griffin, she carries their stories through movement.

“For me, it’s important—a color, a piece of music, even one movement.

It’s helped shape what this journey has become. I didn’t set out to make it a dedication, but they are why I am where I’m at,” says Griffin.

“Through their histories and stories, why I’ve connected to them and carried them along with me, my life has become little bit more clear.”

Mountain Climb The successful return of Telluride a win for local schools, too BY STEVE PALOPOLI

W

show is almost like making a music playlist, since the films are short and have to flow into one another—the longest this year is Ryan Peterson’s 25-minute documentary short The Super Salmon, about the potential environmental impact of the multimillion-dollar mega-dam planned for Alaska’s Susitna River. And the program ends on the exhilarating Angel Collinson Annihilates Alaska, which, despite being only four minutes long, is the perfect closer, Ferraro says, because it’s a “kickass skiing film” that delivers a visceral rush.

Another reason she’s glad to be bringing the Telluride festival back is that there’s an educational aspect that allows her to bring some of the films into local high schools.

Last year, Ferraro brought Telluride to both Scotts Valley High and Branciforte High, with both schools asking her to bring the program back this year, and—in the case of the latter—even expand it.

“These are film can inspire kids,” she says.

Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour Santa Cruz will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Rio Theatre. See the complete playlist at riotheatre.com. Tickets are $18, available at brownpapertickets.com.

hile Kathy O’Hara Ferraro was working for UCSC’s Recreation Department, she found her niche bringing film festivals to campus. She got so good at it that about a decade ago she had more than she could handle, and something had to go. The Telluride Film Festival got the short straw.

“We were doing six film festivals,” she says. “Something had to give, so we let go of it.”

The thing is, she really loves what Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour does, and while even those of us familiar with the many popular adventure and mountain-culture film festivals Ferraro has produced in Santa Cruz over the years may not be able to eloquently explain the difference between them, she can.

“Telluride is way more rounded,” she says, comparing it to the highly adrenalized Radical Reels Tour. “There are environmental films, cultural films and adventure films. Films with heart.”

So she went to Laurence Bedford, owner of the Rio Theatre, and said, “I think it’s time to bring Telluride back to Santa Cruz.” He signed on, and the reboot of Telluride locally last year was a big success.

Har Mar Superstar shows his R&B chops, but not his underwear, on new album and tour BY AARON CARNES

I

f you google Har Mar Superstar, chances are you’ll see him in his underwear, most likely holding a couple of puppies. This is an image he’d like to move past.

When Sean Tillman started playing shows as Har Mar Superstar in the late ’90s, he hit the punk circuit pretty hard, from a completely different angle than anyone else out there. He played irony-drenched R&B tracks, just him and backing tracks, singing lyrics like “Baby do you like my clothes?/’Cause I sure don't like yours/Unless they’re lying on the floor/ With your body next to me, baby.”

The only other person in the DIY scene at the time doing solo dance tunes, Tillman says, was Peaches.

That was when Har Mar Superstar earned his reputation for stripping down to his underwear, because it was an unusual and memorable gimmick, but it really wasn’t Tillman’s thing. What he did best was bust the best dance moves you’d ever seen, and sing in people’s faces.

Anyone who saw Har Mar Superstar back in the day likely considers it one of the best shows they’ve ever seen, and that’s because Tillman knew that everything in that scene was stacked

up against him, so he went big.

“You have to come at people full on so that they’re caught off guard more than you are. Everyone is like, ‘OK, we’re having fun. That really weird looking guy made a fucking party happen,” Tillman says.

Almost as soon as people started talking about his amazing, personalspace-invading shows, he tried to shed the ironic-pop-star image, but it took a while. He was able to really pull it off on 2013’s Bye Bye 17, a record that is both a clear throwback to Motown, and pretty serious. For those previously unable to get past the irony,

the record was a chance to hear his incredible voice for what it really was.

“It was a big risk, and a lot of people were like, ‘I don’t know if you should do that man,’” Tillman says. “Bye Bye 17 is the one my fans played for their friends, and they’d say ‘see, this is the one. This is what I’ve been talking about. Now you’re into it, too.’”

His latest album, Best Summer Ever, was produced by the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, and is easily his most diverse to date. He describes it as a concept record of his “greatest hits from 1950-1985—an era that I largely didn’t live in.”

Musically, it’s an extension of the more earnest side of Tillman that he started exploring on Bye Bye 17.

Because his fans were so willing to take him seriously on that album, he felt liberated to do whatever he wanted on this one.

“I just got into not hiding behind irony anymore,” Tillman says. “I like to have humor, and some fun involved, but I think the tongue isn’t in the cheek with these, even if I’m doing super-’80s sax solos that sound like something off of the Jewel of the Nile soundtrack.”

As Tillman tours to promote Best Summer Ever, he comes armed with a six-piece live band: guitars, drums, synths, horns. “I’ve always wanted to have a live band. The success of Bye Bye 17, after touring that for a long time, building the momentum, it made it financially feasible. Crowds were bigger. It just made more sense to take the step and do it,” he says.

As for his current live show, it’s unlikely that he’ll be stripping down to his underwear. He puts on a high-energy set by dancing in the crowd, doing handstands while singing and just utilizing the space however he can.

“I feel like there’s not enough energetic shows out there. I would love to be surprised by someone that I haven’t seen before that just turns up the energy, gets you out of your comfort zone,” Tillman says. “The older you get, the more curmudgeonly you get. It’s fun to harness that energy, like a thing that permeates the room.

I’m entertaining myself just as much as I’m entertaining everyone else.”

A TASTE OF SANTA CRUZ 2016

Welcome NOVEMBER 2-8 , 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

We welcome you to our 12th annual ‘A Taste of Santa Cruz’ fundraising event!

We welcome you to our 12th annual ‘A Taste of Santa Cruz’ fundraising event!

The Santa Cruz County Association of REALTORS® Housing Foundation (SCCARHF) is thrilled to invite you to this fun and tasty event on November 10, 2016 at the Cocoanut Grove. This year we are welcoming back many of the restaurants that have consistently offered flavorful samplings from their menus during the past few years and excitedly await the cuisine being introduced by our new entries.

“A Taste of Santa Cruz” is one of the few community fundraising events that truly offers an affordable ticket. Our ticket price is $40, and allows you to continuously sample edible delights from over 30 restaurants! You can take a break from your culinary adventure to shop from over 100 silent and live auction items and know that all your gift buying is a tax deductible opportunity.

This event is made possible by the generous support of its sponsors. We thank

our Platinum Sponsors, Santa Cruz Home Finance and Argus Lending, along with our Gold Sponsors, Bailey Properties, Blue Adobe Mortgage, Chase, Sereno Group, US Bank and In Kind sponsor, Century 21 Lad, Kelley Trousdale for their financial assistance in producing this twelfth annual event. A special thank you to our media sponsors, Good Times, Sentinel and KAZU for helping us get the word out and Coastal Homes Magazine for providing our printing needs. It is with their help that we can bring our story about the SCCAR Housing Foundation and “A Taste of Santa Cruz” to the public.

We are extremely fortunate to have our booth sponsors step up in this very busy real estate market and want to thank each and every one of them for contributing financially to the event, providing auction items, and for partnering with some of the best restaurants in town. “A Taste of Santa Cruz” happens as a result of the Santa Cruz County real estate community coming together to create a fundraiser

that “Bridges the Gap to Homeownership”.

The SCCARHF provides grants to help cover closing costs to low income, first time homebuyers. To date close to a half a million dollars has been awarded to over 200 families and individuals. We are fortunate to have a wonderful group of volunteers who work very hard behind the scenes to make this event happen. Thank you to the Housing Foundation Board of Trustees and to the “A Taste of Santa Cruz” committee for donating hundreds of hours of assistance to both this event and to the Housing Foundation.

“A Taste of Santa Cruz” is an incredibly fun and festive event. We invite you to come back again or come for the first time and bring others with you! We know it will be a sell-out, so please don’t wait to purchase your tickets at www.atosc.com or the SCCAR office. Come eat, drink, mingle, network and most of all; support a great cause and a non-profit that is working to help local families and individuals become first-time homebuyers. By creating

homeowners, we create neighborhoods that flourish.

We look forward to sharing a memorable night with you!

FEE AND REGISTRATION

This event was first implemented in the Fall of 2005 as a major fundraising event for the newly created SCCAR Housing Foundation.

In the eight years since this event has been held, over $420,000 has collectively been raised with proceeds going toward the Closing Cost Assistance Grant Program. The program provides grants to low income, first time home buyers in Santa Cruz County to assist with closing costs. Over 200 families have been given the keys to their first homes due to the overwhelming financial success of ‘A Taste of Santa Cruz’.

We believe the dream of homeownership should always be an attainable goal. With the changes in the market these past few years in Santa Cruz County, more potential homebuyers need a little more help to make homeownership a reality for themselves and their families. To assist in this effort, the Santa Cruz County Association of REALTORS® Housing Foundation provides low income, first time home buyers grants to help cover their closing costs with our ‘Closing Cost Assistance Grant Program’ and further with our “Hero’s Grant”. We, as members of the real estate community, believe in the concept of homeownership as a cornerstone for strong neighborhoods, pride of ownership, and wealth creation.

We are proud to state that no one who has qualified for a Housing Foundation grant has ever been turned away in the twelve years since the organization originated.

The Foundation strives to make sure we keep this program available for anyone who wishes to purchase a home in Santa Cruz County.

Please help us help others by contributing to the SCCAR Housing Foundation. Visit

FOOD AS MEDICINE FUNDRAISER In 1986, in the midst of a health crisis, Beth Freewomon gave up hamburgers and sodas overnight to begin eating a macrobiotic diet. She embraced the guiding principle of The Open Hearth (TOH)—her delivery service that provides healthy prepared foods—which is that food can be more than just calories, it can be medicine. Ten years after opening TOH, Freewomon has invited five other local chefs and food entrepreneurs to provide an evening of free bites and sips. Kitchen Witch Bone Broth, Roots Kava Bar, Creative Cultures, Burn Hot Sauces, and Tastes Like Love will offer their wares in addition to Open Hearth mixers, cocktails, live music, and a raffle benefitting Second Harvest Food Bank.

SUNDAY 11/6 ‘BLYTHE’ AT RESOURCE CENTER FOR NONVIOLENCE Twenty-five years ago, Dan McMullan sat in Chuckawalla Valley State Prison and wrote a comedy set in a prison town. The play placed first in the Arts in Corrections statewide prison playwriting contest, and was scheduled for a staged reading in the 1992 Ivar Theater benefit sponsored by Ed Asner and Edward James Olmos. Two days before the show, the warden pulled the plug. This Sunday, Nov. 6, Poetic Justice Project’s company of formerly incarcerated actors will breathe new life into Blythe, directed by Leah Joki, McMullan’s teacher and author of Juilliard to Jail. McMullan was paroled in 1991 and has worked with disabled homeless people for 20 years.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND RISE UP

Begun in 2014 by vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Chris Alcantara and thendrummer Alex Smith, Salinas’ Rise Up mixes a smoky blend of roots reggae with California attitude for a style that falls closer to Bob Marley than Sublime.

In other words, genuine reggae.

“When I was 17, I moved to Hawaii, and reggae is life over there,” says Alcantara. “So I fell in love with it there and brought it back with me.”

Soon after, bassist and melodica player Steve Moreno and lead guitarist Justin Prouty joined the band. Smith had to leave the band this year, but the remaining members found drummer Alex Cortez.

“We were absolutely blessed to have Alex,” Alcantara says. “He clicked so well, we all thought there was no way we can’t stick with this lineup and keep going.”

Armed with fresh momentum, Rise Up rushed to Aaron Rauber of Rauber Productions to record their self-titled debut EP, released in July. The fourtrack album is a powerhouse of socially conscious and thought-provoking lyrics melodically sailing on a smooth stream of classic reggae music.

Rise Up is already hard at work writing a full-length album, which they hope to record sometime early next year. But even with their nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic, the members of Rise Up stay grounded by remembering why they choose to do it.

“My favorite thing is how we click,” Cortez concludes. “Not only how we play music together, but also how we bond together as friends.” MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5. The Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

TAUK

WEDNESDAY 11/2 PROGRESSIVE FUNK

TAUK Brooklyn band TAUK describes itself as “NYC’s finest dirty-funk band.” The four-piece forgoes vocals for an all-instrumental blend of funk, hip-hop, progressive rock, and jazz. The prog-rock element is strong on the band’s most recent album, titled Sir Nebula, with each of the records’ 12 songs averaging around 6.5 minutes in length. TAUK’s live show has been hailed as masterful and captivating, but the jam-bandy aspect of the music is kept in check through intense tempo changes and unpredictable organ riffs. The members have been making music together since the seventh grade, when they founded their first band, TEEL. Santa Cruz band 7 Come 11 opens, celebrating the release of its new album Light It Up. KATIE SMALL INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

THURSDAY 11/3 PUNK

AGENT ORANGE For some early L.A. punk fanatics, surf-

punk was the genre’s low-point. Certainly a lot of the bands and fans were, to put it bluntly, boneheads. But the case against this narrative is Agent Orange.

The band’s debut record, Living in Darkness, is a classic, with personal lyrics that speak to universal struggles—not just those of 15-year-old skate-punks, but of any human being with a soul. The group never went mainstream, and has continued on with the same integrity and punk-rock fervor that it defined in its debut record back in 1981. AARON

CARNES

INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 11/4 INDIE-FOLK

CAVE SINGERS One of the finer indie-folk acts around, the Cave Singers craft catchy roots-inspired songs that draw from folk giants like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, but have more in common with contemporary indie bands. Where some young roots bands try to recreate what was, the Seattle-based Cave Singers find ways to move things forward in a way that rings true to the band members and the times. The band tends to get lost

in the divide between roots and indie rock, but it’s a hidden gem that deserves wider recognition. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 11/5 FOLK

TIM FLANNERY & KEITH GREENINGER Tim Flannery gained public acclaim as a professional baseball player, and, later, as third base coach and color commentator for the San Francisco Giants. But Flannery is also a celebrated singer-songwriter whose love of music extends back to his childhood. Though he’s a bit under the radar as far as singer-songwriters go, Flannery is a Bay Area favorite who isn’t afraid to share openly of his struggles and joys through his music. On Saturday, he teams up with acclaimed Santa Cruz folk favorite Keith Greeninger, whose knack for distilling hard truths and big-picture insights into beautiful, sometimes gut-wrenchingly honest tunes has established

him as a songwriting talent far beyond the local scene. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $25/gen, $40/gold. 423-8209.

SUNDAY 11/6 BLUEGRASS

Guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, bass and intricate three-part harmonies make up the Lonely Heartstring Band, a group of masterful musicians that have carefully crafted a unique brand of bluegrass. The quintet is originally from Boston, where four of the five players recently graduated from the Berklee College of Music. On the band’s website, it claims to “embody the modern American condition—an understanding and reverence for the past that informs a push into the future.” A little self-indulgent, sure—but as far as folk music is concerned, they might be onto something. KS INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6725 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

FISHBONE Whether you are a Fishbone fan or not, the 2010 doc Everyday Sunshine is a phenomenal walk through the band’s career. Scenes of the band playing to present-day tiny crowds are heartbreaking, especially when juxtaposed against the band’s innovative musical output. The group practically invented the hyper-kinetic version of ska that other bands would popularize in the ’90s, and its mix of funk, punk and altrock was far superior to anything the Red Hot Chili Peppers ever produced. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

SUN 11/6 & MON 11/7 GARAGE-ROCK

MYSTERY LIGHTS Mystery Lights play Nuggets-era ’60s garage-rock, a genre that has probably in the range of one million bands currently. But this group offers something that few bands in 2016 can: an authentic, heartfelt feel to the music—particularly in the vocals. It’s no wonder Daptone (or rather Daptone’s Wick Imprint) signed the group. The group hails from

Brooklyn, but the members’ formative years were spent in Salinas. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-6994.

MONDAY 11/7 JAZZ

CHESTER THOMPSON Santana’s loss has been jazz’s gain.

After a three-decade run with Tower of Power during the band’s hit-making heyday (1969-73) and Santana through his Supernatural resurgence, organist Chester “CT” Thompson decided he’d had enough of the road. Over the past few years, he’s been reestablishing himself as a bandleader, releasing Mixology (Doodlin Records), his first album in more than 40 years. A commanding player who unleashes waves of sound on the B-3, CT is joined by his former Santana-mate Tony Lindsay, a tremendously soulful singer; drummer David Flores; and percussion maestro John Santos, who’s best known for his mastery of Afro-Caribbean rhythms, but is also an invaluable asset in straight-ahead jazz situations. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

INFO: 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $30. 4231338. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz. com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

THE LONELY HEARTSTRING BAND

ALTERNATIVE

Pioneering gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello exists on the fringes, both musically and culturally. Playing highenergy tunes rooted in Roma music, rock, world, cabaret and punk, the band is more of a movement than a music group. With a global fan base that dismisses national boundaries and stylistic differences, the group pursues its stated mission to “provoke audience[s] out of post-modern aesthetic swamp onto a neo-optimistic communal movement towards new sources of authentic energy.” On the band’s new album, Pura Vida, Gogol Bordello furthers its mission to bridge disparate worlds and create a global citizenry.

Female artist rediscovered in painterly, uneven ‘Miss Hokusai’ BY LISA JENSEN

A

rt, erotica, girl power, and parent-child relationships—Miss Hokusai ought to have everything going for it. Set in the Japanese capital city of Edo (now Tokyo) in the early 19th Century, it depicts the life of famed painter Katsushika Hokusai, and his daughter, O-Ei, also a talented artist, who spends her days completing deadlines for her unreliable father.

O-Ei was an actual historical person whose excellent work was almost entirely submerged in her father’s career, and it’s always exciting to discover an “unknown” woman artist.

This would have been a fascinating story for a live-action film. But as an

offering from the popular Japanese animation studio, Production I.G (Ghost In the Shell), it’s an odd mix of gorgeous, painterly vistas and lovely glimpses of historical and cultural traditions, with jarring modern rock music, cornball dialogue, and inane slapstick comedy. (To be fair, I saw a version dubbed into English. It’s possible that the Japanese-language version, with English subtitles—both versions are playing at the Del Mar— might work better.)

Directed by Keiichi Hara, inspired

by Hinako Sugiura’s manga comic Sarusuberi, the movie revolves around O-Ei (voice of Erica Lindbeck in the dubbed version), who lives with her

slovenly, obsessed father. He has no vices, she tells us—all he does is paint. She paints, too, and when her dad can’t complete a commission on time, she’s expected to fill in for him, without credit. This makes O-Ei perpetually fed up and rankled, so she’s not a character we ever exactly warm up to. We see her smoking a pipe and sketching erotic drawings (the elder Hokusai was famed for his erotica, as well as his iconic land and seascapes), but neither of these pastimes gives her character much extra dimension.

But O-Ei does soften up around her blind younger sister, O-Nao. The sisters’ mother is estranged

from their father, and while O-Nao had been living with their mother in another part of town, she is now in the care of a house of Catholic nuns, where O-Ei visits her often and takes her out on excursions around the city. (There might have been an opportunity here to comment on Western influence creeping in, but the film doesn’t take it, except to note that O-Nao is now afraid of “stacking rocks” in Hell.) Still, the sisters’ relationship is very tender.

The scenes involving one of Hokusai’s patrons, a beauteous courtesan, are also skillfully, artfully appealing.

The plot goes off on a lot of weird tangents. There’s Hokusai’s apprentice, a drunken ex-Samurai used for tedious comic relief, and his buddy, another young apprentice, making painfully gauche attempts to ingratiate himself with the profoundly uninterested O-Ei. It’s interesting that one of the brothel geishas turns out to be male, but not much is done with that character. When her father says she’s “too naive” to draw men properly, O-Ei visits the brothel, but her game plan is not clear, before or during her encounter, and that subplot soon disappears from the movie.

I’ve never been a big fan of Japanese anime, the stylized look of characters with big, round eyes and minimal onscreen movement. Miss Hokusai is most impressive, visually, when it’s static—the giant wave that rises up under the sisters’ boat (a recreation of the famous Hokusai image, “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa”); a sparrow in a tree full of blossoms; a white winter landscape dotted with touches of red.

The supernatural elements are also well done: a dragon that grows out of storm clouds, Hokusai’s dream of his hands flying around the world, the courtesan’s nightmares fueled by a painting of Heaven and Hell.

Cultural traditions are nicely rendered, from bamboo houses with their sliding, paper screen doors, and street vendors hawking their wares, to festivals and their rituals.

But the overall tone is so uneven, and that blaring rock soundtrack so intrusive, that the artistry of Miss Hokusai gets lost in translation.

MISS HOKUSAI **1/2 (out of four) Directed by Keiichi Hara. A GKids release.

Rated PG-13. 93 minutes.

Yes, the enslavement of 10.7 million people in the U.S. ended in its legal form some time ago.

INFERNO The good news is that Professor Langdon’s hair has gotten considerably better since The DaVinci Code.

WINE OF THE WEEK La Honda 2013 Red Table Wine “Exponent” loaded with Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon spiked with Syrah, Merlot and Sangiovese. This is a big-shouldered creation for such restrained alcohol (13.5 percent). We found it to be layered with cassis, blueberry, birch root, clover, graphite and mahogany. Even more subtle nuances as the wine opened. It was wonderful with a few slices of rare filet mignon and an arugula and fig salad.

Somewhere near the $20 range at fine wine and food emporia.

T

hanks to a very glutenavoidant guest visiting us last week, we discovered the small but powerful menu of “wheat-free” dishes available (if you request it) at the splendid O’mei, where soy-intensive dishes often leave those GF diners in a quandary. Yes, there is a tiny bit of wheat in soy sauce, so we surveyed other possibilities. An entree of prawns and baby bok choy, wok’d with lots of garlic and rice wine proved wildly popular with our

table. The dish preserved the fresh plumpness of the ingredients, revealed in all their sparkling flavor thanks to the soy-free preparation. Another dish that I always love, called “Ants Climbing a Tree” was a delicious GF choice. This dish uses the sensuous texture of “glass” (bean thread) noodles, along with ginger and minced pork to make a huge flavor impact. I, however, went rogue and started my meal with an order of those addictive Red Oil Dumplings with sauce to kill

for. Given the generous spacing of O’mei tables, and the harmonious atmosphere (i.e. we can actually carry on a conversation!) we almost always take out-of-town guests to O’mei . . .

And, it turns out that not too far from O’mei, over at Cafe Ivéta, glutenphobes can request gluten-free bread for their favorite sandwich. Nice idea, although we agreed that the very firm sandwich platform required a lot more salt and a lot more mayo to add moisture and hold the interest of our tastebuds.

Even though I had visions of working (drinking) my way through the hefty 515 cocktail listing, I just couldn’t make it past that exceptional “Cantina Band” ($10). Arriving in a tall, slim tumbler, this tart beauty hits all the palate spots. St. George terroir gin, with a touch of cane sugar and lime juice lay down the foundation.

Ginger beer adds body, and Fernet Branca carries the top note of burnt orange tones—an exceptional bitters.

Cucumber is muddled, and added as a garnish. This is a beautiful sipping drink, delicious, rich with gingery flavors and neither sweet nor sour. My companion settled in to a 100-percent classic Negroni—gin, campari, and Vermouth and wasn’t the least bit jealous of my “Cantina Band.” Nice atmosphere up in that bohemian U-shaped bar. 515 Cedar St., Santa Cruz.

HOME AGAIN! Home is the name of chef Brad Briske’s new restaurant (the former Theo’s, former Main St. Garden Cafe) and I’ve already heard raves from preopening diners. Artisanal charcuterie, rustic pastas, local ingredients, lavish use of produce and herbs from the backyard garden, and desserts such as the dreamy Blood Orange Panna Cotta. I’ll be back soon with my own impressions, but Briske, who won legions of fans during his time at La Balena in Carmel, is a true artist. You can count on his new restaurant being a hit! Official opening this week. homesoquel.com.

reedom Wineworks is not about the “winery experience.”

Not only do they do tastings by appointment only, but should you arrange one, you will also find yourself in what owners Randall and LaRae West claim is the smallest winery in the state. Now, after making wine as a hobby there for years, they’re turning pro, and ready for big things. Randall gave us the scoop on this teeny-tiny local winery.

RANDALL WEST: Yeah, that’s what I understand. It’s not exactly an official designation. I just realized it after researching other wineries in California. I found one winery back east that said they were the smallest winery in the country. Our building is a few feet bigger than their building.

Our building is 320 square feet. It’s 16 feet by 20 feet. I didn’t know if there were certain requirements that the building would have to be a certain size, but apparently there isn’t. We started making wine many years ago, as a hobby in our garage. When we moved to Freedom, we had this extra building, which used to be a detached garage. It’s pretty fun. It’s

near our house. We don’t have any big equipment like other wineries. We only use the half-barrel size so that we can still have multiple varieties of wines in production.

Why do you require an appointment for doing a tasting?

We don’t have a separate tasting room.

We basically don’t have a tasting room, but we can do business as far as selling wine in the winery. Up till now it’s been a hobby, for our friends to come over and taste wine. Going forward, we can host people there, potential customers, tasters. Realistically, we will be doing tastings at other places.

The winery is in a residential property.

I would imagine stores, restaurants or festival-type events is where we’ll be offering tastings.

What kind of wines do you do?

We are partnered with a farmer in the Corralitos area that is growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Those will be our first 2016 vintages. Aside from that, we’ve made fruit wines from just about every kind of fruit you can imagine. It was a good learning ground. We’ve made plum wine, apple wine and cherry wine. howswine.com.

delicious wine I tried recently was a Pinot Noir Blanc 2015 made by El Lugar Wines in the San Luis Obispo area—and also one of the more interesting wines I’ve had lately.

Pinot Noir Blanc may sound like an oxymoron, but the pulp and juice of the Pinot Noir grape is actually white, and most of the flavors, aromas and all of the color come from the skins. So that’s what makes this particular wine so interesting and unusual—it’s a white Pinot Noir!

Aromas of pear and lemon and flavors of green apples and toasted oak lead to a smooth and creamy finish—not quite what you’d expect from this challenging white wine. As some people say, it’s a white wine “masquerading as a red wine.”

Winemaker Coby Parker-Garcia has been making wine for about 12 years, and he and his wife, Katie Noonan, have a combined 25 yearsplus in the wine biz—with a distinct focus on Pinot Noir. Grapes for this Pinot Noir Blanc came from Greengate Ranch & Vineyard in the

Edna Valley, and Parker-Garcia made only two barrels. “In my opinion,” says Parker-Garcia, “the Pinot Noir Blanc is a perfect match with oysters or fish.” Others suggest pairing this wine with quiche or cheese-based egg dishes.

If you want to try this unique wine, then head to San Luis Obispo or order some online. With the ease of shipping these days, it will arrive in no time. It sells for $30 a bottle.

MAKING CHEESE

A friend of mine who makes cheese occasionally drops some off on my doorstep. Her cheeses are always bursting with flavor and unlike anything store-bought. If you’re interested in having a go at the art of cheesemaking, then sign up for one of Love Apple Farms’ classes on Nov. 13 and Dec. 17. Gift certificates to Love Apple’s many classes make wonderful presents. Visit growbetterveggies.com for more info.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES VOTING IN SCORPIO— WHICH CANDIDATE IS THE DISCIPLE? Libra said to us, “Let choice be made.” Now in Scorpio we act upon our choice by voting. I urge everyone to vote. Everyone’s vote is important. Why? Nov. 8, voting day, the moon will be void-of-course with Mercury in Scorpio. There could be mix ups concerning ballots, things mysteriously not available.

We may need to demand that all votes cast are not changed and then counted correctly. Things could mysteriously (Scorpio) be “lost.” Let us be vigilant.

Voting is part of responsible “discipleship” (Scorpio task). Our nation asks us to vote. We are given two very unusual candidates. This election is a test for humanity in the United States. A test, from Scorpio and Mars (Scorpio’s ruler), to see if we can recognize which candidate is the “Disciple” leading our country into the light, regenerate our land and its people. It’s a very subtle and refined test of choice.

As the Forces of Darkness are very clever, we

must remember to, “Beware of the darkness, it looks like the Light.” And often what we perceive as dark or inexperienced or any other words of judgement we use—what we perceive as not good enough, often is the Light.

We cannot perceive the Right Choice for our nation with emotions. We must choose with the heart which is not emotional. We must “hear” with our heart. The heart is shaped like a human ear. It listens deeply. But not if emotions and reactions are polarizing us. Then we are blinded. Then the heart is still.

Libra told us last month, “To make Right choice, align with the Will-to-Good which becomes Goodwill within us.” Then Right Choice comes forth.

Note: There will be synchronized meditation flash mobs at polling stations across the United States. See you there, everyone. Visit elevatethevote.com for more info.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You are being asked to create order and organization in your daily life. To bring to all relationships a greater level of love. To tend to resources held in common with others with greater care. To pursue a course of study that will stabilize you as well as please you. To bring forth a transformation in your work. And to realize that your self-identity is going through another change. Study the art and science of astrology.

Attempt to regard the ideas and opinions of others as valuable. They hold truths that your heart seeks to assimilate. You need someone around who makes you laugh; with a sense of humor you understand. You need to laugh yourself out of the veils surrounding your life.

These are natural veils. However, you’re tired of them.

Watch the video of Alan Watts in Hollywood teaching the laughing meditation. And laugh with him.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 2, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You work harder than most, and can be more measured than most. This is an observation. It acknowledges your careful methods and deliberate actions so that what you create is always of value. You like money and possessions but sometimes take risks with spending.

Is your energy equated to self-worth? If you have less energy do you believe you are less valuable? This is incorrect thinking. You are steady, constant, reliable, good and pure value.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 When there is a mental approach in any direction and in connection with the many opposites in manifestation, you have the emergence of the divine messenger, able to comprehend extremes and relate them divinely to each other. Gemini is pre-eminently the sign of the messenger, and this sign produces many of the messengers of God as they appear down the ages … the revealers of new divine truths. Are you doing your job as a messenger?

Great desires and/or aspiration are part of your being.

When there isn’t enough of something we learn how to cherish. What in your life do you feel there isn’t enough of? There’s a mantra we say each morning. You will like it. “Let reality govern my every thought and truth be the master of my life.” You understand this mantra. You allow nothing pretentious in your life. Plant and tend several Boswellia sacra (frankincense) trees.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You have become a mother lion, deeply protective of home, family, friends, relationships, life events. Are you living a somewhat solitary existence? Much of what you do, feel and think is both instinctual and intuitive. The two are different aspects of the s/Self. One is our animal heritage, the other our angelic heritage. We are from the stars … stardust. Your mind seeks to know humanity’s origins.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A new energy has come over you. You’re active, more dynamic, responding quickly to situations. At times you can be suddenly creative. You wonder why. It’s Mars affecting your creative self-identity. At times you may feel angry, quick to judge. Have the intentions to be direct, truthful and spontaneous. Don’t “kill the Buddha on the road.” Pursue creativity instead.

Your purpose is to interact with many people in order to know (recognize) yourself. Your other purpose, also important, at this time is to help others, especially in groups (very special groups). Learn their identity, as they articulate goals and discover cooperation. Like Aquarius, you have many acquaintances, some friends, few intimates. This year you are re-designing yourself.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Things are not easy at times. Perhaps you feel a bit stifled, more tenuous about asserting yourself, at times defeated that all actions are futile. This is temporary.

Your energy is hiding away with your courage. Past events and memories flood your mind. Deep down you are strong, able to work independently, and you believe in yourself. We believe in you, too.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Whatever you are doing, you work hard, climb the ladder, set goals, meet them, create boundaries and move ahead. Is there someone elderly or a parent figure needing your help? Perhaps it’s a memory or a dream.

You are very serious and respectful. You are original. And a paradox. Something has occurred in your life that has transformed you. The transformation will continue.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Always you have needed a challenging and interesting partner, someone steadfast in their love, unafraid of conflict, equally aware politically and with the ability to practice compromise. Actually you might consider a bit more compromise, too. Are you able to understand others’ points of view? Make that important decision on the side of safety. You will want to study something soon.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20Do you seek to create something that is vast and far reaching? A place where people want to live and work and “have their being?” A community that is educational and healing? You work best independently, as a leader. One of your rulers as a Pisces is Pluto. You understand power. Power needs love to be effective. You’re very skilled in both. An unusual time is ahead with new and different experiences. Be generous, be kind and love more.

SARAH MCKNIGHT-CAHIR, 23-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Marriage/family therapist Hobbies: Joyful parenting, the ocean, gratitude advocate, cooking, yoga, life-long learning Astrological Sign: Libra NEIL CAHIR, 12-Year Customer Santa Cruz Occupation: Firefighter/paramedic, Scotts Valley Fire District Hobbies: Hiking, biking, surfing, ocean/beach/sun, fun travels, barbecuing/cooking (firehouse cook) Astrological Sign: Sagittarius What do you folks like to cook? SARAH: “Before I forget I have to say I really enjoy walking on Shopper’s wooden floors — love the creaking! Cooking-wise I usually do the salad and vegetables. Neil is the meat guy on the barbecue while I’m the ’oven’ person. We cook a variety of foods.” NEIL: “We like to mix it up; it could Mexican such as enchiladas, Asian stir-fries, Italian, plus California-continental.” SARAH: “We like fresh meats so we shop here almost daily whether it’s for sausages, bone-in chicken or marinated chicken…”

NEIL: “The tri-tip and skirt steaks are phenomenal All the seafood is fresh, with lots of local-caught fish.”

SARAH: “And the butchers really take care of us.”

How so? SARAH: “If we need something special, they’ll take care if it, plus they’ll share preparation tips. The guys know our son, Gus, by name and we have real, meaningful conversations.” NEIL: “I feel like I’m walking into the history of Santa Cruz when I stop in, and that I’m a part of Shopper’s continual evolvement.

That feels beautiful and enriching.” SARAH: “We are so lucky because of Shopper’s storewide quality and the pricing, which is less than other local stores. And everyone seems so happy with the job they’re doing. It feels like we’re all working for the betterment of the community.” NEIL: “I like that my money stays local, and that Shopper’s provides a unique, personal touch.”

In what way? NEIL: “With longevity comes their own model to follow such as hiring local people who help foster relationships in the neighborhood and countywide.” SARAH: “This is one-stop shopping from gourmet to your everyday items. I’m branching out to Indian and vegan cuisines and more; they have everything I need, including a great spice department.”

NEIL: “We appreciate the versatility. When looking for a wine to pair, they’ll suggest a range — from lower to high-end. It’s their competitive pricing and quality that keeps us coming back, like with their great produce, great meats, and everything in between, and we’re keeping it local.” SARAH: “It’s the best market in Santa Cruz!”

“I feel like I’m walking into the history of Santa Cruz when I stop in, and that I’m a part of Shopper’s continual evolvement. That feels beautiful and enriching.”
