OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Considering what a nightmare this past week has been, I have to admit, I’m pretty excited about the Numbskull Anniversary Show at the Catalyst this week that features some of my favorite Santa Cruz punk bands from the ’90s, like Fury 66, Good Riddance and Swingin’ Utters. Seems like the right time to hear “Liberty” from reformed Berkeley band Screw 32, who are also on the bill: “You say there’s nothing left to say/Our freedom’s time is in delay.”

This week’s cover story, though, reminds me of a song from another ’90s Santa Cruz band I liked,

Yes, I was shocked and saddened by the result of the presidential election. However, somehow it has propelled me into being my best self more determinedly than ever.

I trust that we’re all connected, and can benefit from stretching in ways that we did not know were possible even a moment ago. How can you grow in your unique way to contribute to the life of the planet?

ROBBY LABOVITZ | SANTA CRUZ

SHE WON Hillary Rodham Clinton is the real president of the United States. She won the popular vote, much like Al Gore did back in the 2000 election. In most nations throughout the world, winning the popular vote automatically makes one the victor in any general election.

The U.S. presidential election has been stolen, as the presidency of Al Gore was stolen back in 2000. By its very nature, the current “delegate” system of independently appointing presidents is a deliberate theft of the vote of the American people. Presidentelect Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to walk into the white house escorted by all 5 branches of the U.S. military and proclaim her victory as the true and duly-elected president of the United States of America.

STEVEN CRAIG JONES | SANTA CRUZ

Lackadaisy. Singer-songwriter Chris Wedertz (who was backed by her husband Rick Walker on drums) crafted some real indiepop gems for that band, including my favorite, “The Aliens Don’t Want Me,” from their 1997 album Still Life. In the chorus, the lack of contact from the stars leads Wedertz to simply conclude, “I guess the aliens don’t want me.”

That’s kind of how I felt reading DNA’s story on his experience at Alien Con. If these supposed ancient astronauts are going to come back and fix everything, as some of the true believers assert, wouldn’t right about now be a good time?

But then I look at who we just elected president and understand why they might pass. I guess the aliens don’t want us.

WHERE IS IT? I’d like to quote briefly but exactly from a letter on page 4 of last week’s issue, from Linda Fawcett of Community Bridges, in support of Measure D: “Your half-penny increase will go toward not only improving our local roads and light rail system, but also to enabling increased transportation services for our populations of seniors ...”

I have lived here for almost 20 years, and I’ve yet to locate the light rail system which Ms. Fawcett says is going to be improved.

Please can Ms. Fawcett tell me where it’s hiding; I’d love to use it.

Hidden Peak Teahouse has reached out on its website to ask for the community’s help. The best local spot for a side of zen with your jolt of caffeine is struggling, and may not make it without a boost. This weekend is a chance to give them just that during their donation drive from Nov. 18-20.

Hidden Peak has a list of what donors can receive on their Facebook page.

There’s been a lot of concern about the future of diversity in this country since Nov. 8. But election night also ushered in some positive news, at least in Santa Cruz: local voters have elected the first African American to serve on the city council. Martine Watkins, an education programs coordinator, could finish as the race’s second-highest vote-getter, which would put her in position to be the city’s first African American mayor as well.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ELECTORAL COLLEGE The Electoral College was obsolete when the telegraph became widespread (late 19th century). The only reason we still have it is political inertia. It is natural for politicians to preserve the political system that got them elected in the first place.

We need to change to a preferential voting system that allows people to express their true political voice without the need to vote for the lesser of two evils.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 16 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

There is a 97 percent chance that you will NOT engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tight-rope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut, or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits—although less risky ones—that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had.

By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies. But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future.

Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The Onion, my favorite news source, reported that “It’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior—as much for your own sake as for others’. I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have, and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about “what ifs.”

GEMINI May21–June20 I hesitate to deliver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer. Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans. Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas, and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It erupts periodically, and in general makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. And yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays, and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know. I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting.

Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firktytoodle.” It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking, and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question: Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but if, and only if, you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; if and only if you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards, and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. P.S. These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well. Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Does the word “revolution” have any useful meaning?

Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration.

She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “We all have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author Siri Hustvedt.

The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. But here’s the fantastic news: Those ghosts have delivered everything you need to know for now, and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 In the film Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays the role of God, and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is 716-776-2323.)

A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that 716-776-2323 is the right contact information. But if you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Some spiders are both construction workers and artists.

The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.”

These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide, and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta.

Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system.

Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.)

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Here’s an experiment worth trying: Reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out on an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream.

You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.

“Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks. Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry!

Homework: Though sometimes it’s impossible to do the right thing, doing the half-right thing may be a viable option. Give an example from your life: FreeWillAstrology.com

Hitch in the System Why UCSC trailer park residents say their home will never be the same BY MATTHEW PERA

A

rainbow archway opens up into a handmade wooden deck draped in velvet curtains, the entry to one of the oldest standing trailers at UCSC’s camper park.

Next door is a shiny, new, and— by comparison—incredibly plain recreational vehicle, one of the six new identical trailers that UCSC has purchased in hopes of completely revamping its camper park, a community tucked into the redwood forest on the northwest corner of the campus. Empty spaces are scattered throughout the park, too, where old

trailers have been removed before new ones are brought in to replace them, leaving what was once a vibrant community of 42 students temporarily down to just 26.

“The number of parkies living here started going down at the beginning of last school year,” says Avery Candelario, who is living in the trailer park for her third consecutive year. “The university started asking certain students who were graduating to remove their trailers because they weren’t up to code and didn’t pass inspection.”

The student-owned trailers,

which have resided in the camper park for the last three-and-a-half decades, stand in stark contrast to the university’s new ones. Many of the trailers resemble living works of art, complete with generations of passed-down murals, craftwork and gems. Many residents fear that their vibrant, quirky community is at risk.

Since the camper park was established at UCSC in the early 1980s, it has been the school’s only low-income housing community.

Camper park residents purchase the trailers when they move to the park and pay monthly rent, ranging >12

Local Democratic big shots looked stunned, staring into their half-empty complimentary beers as election results came pouring in.

Around 10 p.m. last Tuesday night, most of the early results looked favorable to establishment Democrats. All four of the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party’s picks for Santa Cruz City Council were leading in a race that featured 11 people on the ballot. Measure D, the half-cent transportation sales tax initiative, was off to a strong start. As a matter of fact, 82 percent of the candidates and measures that earned the club’s endorsement have either won or are currently in the lead, as of the last count.

But all around the Food Lounge on Center Street on Nov. 8, local Dems were in shock.

Cable news coverage along the room’s back wall broadcast that Donald Trump was dominating the electoral college en route to a surprise victory in the race for President of the United States. Beside the screen sat a Trump piñata that would go unused.

The following night, protesters led a march against Trump down the middle of Pacific Avenue. And on Friday, a much bigger one came together at Mission Plaza Park, with hundreds of people marching down Pacific chanting things like, “No walls, no KKK, no fascist USA!” On Monday, Santa Cruz High School students stormed the sidewalks downtown, yelling “Not my president!”

Perhaps no one is reeling harder right now than the Santa Cruzans who fought Measure D (which clings to a narrow lead), opposed Donald Trump and wanted to see the “Brand New Council” slate elected in Santa Cruz.

Three of those four council candidates, including nonprofit director Drew Glover, are currently behind, but Glover hopes the election has engaged young people and inspired them to get involved politically.

“I plan to push forward,” says Glover, who’s currently in sixth place, with Cynthia Mathews, Martine Watkins, Chris Krohn and Robert Singleton in the lead. “There are people who have approached me who are young—24, 26—and they tell me they would be interested in running in the next round.”

Election Surprise Sends Rates Higher Lock Before It’s Too Late Q: How will the election affect mortgage rates?

A: As everyone now knows, our presidential election resulted in the unexpected election of Donald Trump AND it put the control of both the Senate and the Congress under Republican control. At first the stock market futures sold off madly, but when traders realized that Trump will soon have the legislative power to lower corporate tax rates, capital gain rates and tax rates on the very rich—they went wild buying stock and the stock market closed at an all time high on 11-9. As money poured into stocks it streamed OUT of bonds and mortgage backed securities, which acted to PUSH MORTGAGE RATES UP 1/8TH% OR MORE ON SOME PROGRAMS. THIS CONSTITUTES A MORTGAGE EMERGENCY AND MANY WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING TO LOCK SHOULD DEFINITELY CALL ME TO FIND OUT IF IT STILL MAKES SENSE TO LOCK BEFORE RATES GO UP FURTHER. I can be reached at 831-655-2600 in Monterey and 831-475-2600 in the Santa Cruz County and 831-818-7700 on cell. Opportunities to obtain LOWER PAYMENTS still exist. My advice is to call me NOW to find out if it makes sense for you to take advantage of HISTORICALLY LOW RATES before they move up further.

NOVEMBER 16-22, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Q: How will the election results affect the housing market?

12

A: If corporate profits go up with stock prices in a big stock rally, there will be more available money for real estate purchases generated from capital gains that will become more accessible if the tax rates are dropped as promised by Mr. Trump and the Big Red Machine that has been gifted with a big new legislative bulldozer.

Cutting 80% of environmental protection regulations and other regulations viewed

by Trump as “restrictive” will result in increased profits and higher stock prices regardless of their potential for damage to the environment and increased risk to lower paid workers. Higher rates could also make it harder for those with lower incomes to purchase homes. How it plays out is anybody’s guess so stay tuned and I will keep you informed. — Jim Chubb

NEWS HITCH IN THE SYSTEM <11 from $575 to $650, to the university.

Historically, students who are graduating or moving out of the camper park have been able to resell their trailers to other students waiting to move in. According to Candelario, a trailer in the camper park costs a student between $1,500 and $7,000 dollars to purchase from the previous owner—money that they expect to make back when they graduate or move out of the trailer park.

In the spring of 2016, however, the university released a statement to all of the camper park residents notifying them that graduating students would not be able to sell their trailers to incoming students, and all of the old trailers had to be removed from the park to make room for new, university-owned ones.

Graduating students were given 30 days to move out, and the university offered them a settlement of $2,500.

According to UCSC spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason, that money is “an assistance payment, which acknowledges that students paid for their trailers in the park and were not allowed to resell them in the park.”

In order to receive the money, students had to sign a document releasing the university from any liability caused by the action. The university also offered to tow the old trailers off the land within a reasonable distance, and the students

who owned them could sell them on the open market, keep them, or have the university take them to the dump. This process is ongoing for any student leaving the trailer park.

Kyle Ortega, a former camper park resident who graduated last spring, says students were notified of the policy change only four days prior to the start of finals week. “I was scrambling to finish school, and I had to move my attention off of the end of my senior year and suddenly rearrange my plans,” he says. Ortega opted not to sign and accept the cash on principle, saying it violated his lease.

In addition, it’s often “a lot harder to sell a trailer on the open market,” Candelario says. “There’s generally less interest, and the value is lower because generations of students have been passing down these trailers in the park for relatively the same price.”

Hernandez-Jason acknowledges that the university’s timing wasn’t great.

“We know that for students focused on finals, having something like this was not the sort of thing they wanted to think about or have to deal with,” he says. “So, it was regretful timing, but we wanted to get the plan moving.”

Hernandez-Jason says that by removing the old trailers from the park, the university aims to create affordability and remove the burden of maintaining an old trailer from students’ responsibilities. “It’s a lot of cash up front for any student,” he

says. “And some of the trailers were getting up there in age, so when there were problems during inspections, students would have to repair them and get them back up to code.”

Candelario agrees that the community will benefit from students not having to shell out money for a trailer up front, but she says that the so-called burden of maintaining her trailer has been a beneficial experience for her. She calls it “homeownership-in-training,” adding that she built the two bed frames in her trailer herself, fixed the roof, and is currently working on repairing her sink. “Having 42 people around who might be able to teach me or help me to work on this little home has been an awesome bonus,” she says.

Students say they don’t want a bunch of sterile-looking new trailers to replace the look and feel of the old ones. Hernandez-Jason says the university is working with the students to try to preserve the trailer park’s aesthetic and might bring in some retro-style trailers in the next round to preserve the “quirkiness of the park.”

“We’re looking at whether we can build kind of a structure over the new units so that students can paint them and decorate them and have that personal artistic flair,” he says.

Candelario acknowledges that the university is working with the students to help preserve >16

NEWS BRIEFS FLIPPING OUT For the past two weeks, about 15 humpback whales have been lunge-feeding for anchovies offshore of Moss Landing, treating whale watching tours to a show.

Usually, humpbacks’ food is hundreds of feet down, and people only see whales surface for air, before arching their backs, lifting their flukes and diving, says Kate Cummings, owner of Blue Ocean Whale Watch, a Moss Landing tour company.

But lately, the anchovies have

gathered near the surface, which doesn’t happen often.

“The humpbacks swim underneath them and then rocket to the surface with their mouths open,” Cummings says.

Whales work together to corral the anchovies, and sometimes several whales launch from the water in unison, she says.

The sea’s surface has warmed over the past few weeks, caused

by October storms pushing warm winds from the south and west, says Nate Mantua, leader of NOAA’s Landscape Ecology Team in Santa Cruz. The West

Coast’s waters are now warmer than usual, he says.

Those warm seas are likely what’s pushing anchovies to concentrate in deeper waters of the canyon, where it’s cooler, says Nancy Black, owner of Monterey Bay Whale Watch, a Montereybased tour group. Then whales, dolphins and sea lions drive the fish to the surface. Anchovies are also following their food, plankton, which hangs out near the surface.

This time of year is normally near the end of the Monterey Bay’s humpback season, though for the last few years humpbacks

have stayed through December before heading to Mexico for breeding season, Black says.

Last week, Black’s tours saw a group of 14 killer whales.

She’s also seeing “big numbers” of common dolphins, which are also associated with warm waters, she says.

“There’s always something to see,” Black says. “Especially with this unusual sea temperature occurrence, we’re getting another concentration of anchovies that we weren’t really expecting. You actually never know when that’s going to happen.” KARA GUZMAN

ELECTION AFTERMATH <11

14

UPBEAT STOREY Some city council races experienced more of a shock to the system. Dene Bustichi, a longtime conservative Scott Valley city councilmember, sits in last place in a re-election bid against four other candidates, all vying for three seats.

In Capitola, Mayor Ed Bottorff is neck-andneck with former Mayor Sam Storey, who ran as a write-in candidate after announcing his campaign a month-and-a-half before the election. As of presstime, Storey leads Bottorff by 18 votes.

“The odds were against me, but I knew that with the support I had, I was a strong candidate,” Storey says. “I was going to make this a strong campaign.”

Supporters lobbied Storey hard to enter the race in the fall, and after he agreed, detractors

told them that no write-in candidate could ever win—something that motivated them all to work harder.

“I feel really comfortable with the way Sam operates, and I don’t always agree with him, but I still feel like it’s OK,” says former Mayor Gayle Ortiz, who helped with his campaign.

Though she says she does like Bottorff, she’s felt dismayed in recent years by what she sees as signs the council is out of step with the community, including the handling of a controversial plan last year to possibly sell the City Hall property and build a hotel near the village. The city then would have built a bigger city hall and police station nearby.

Bottorff, who is optimistic about the close race, says it’s often difficult get a read on the way people feel in the small beachside city.

“Is it the squeaky wheel that’s making the noise, or is it the way the town really wants to go?” he says. “I don’t know that one victory one way or the other will answer that.”

GETTING SMALL Huge sections of the election results had little unexpected to offer—all 16 of the county’s ballot measures either won or are in the lead. It was some of the smaller elections, like fire protection boards, which normally go unwatched, that saw a surprising amount of political interest—thanks, partly, to some labor endorsements.

Outsiders have the top two spots in the race for three seats on Scotts Valley Fire Protection District. Frontrunner Daron L. Pisciotta, Santa Clara County’s deputy fire chief, landed some big endorsements from the Scotts Valley Firefighters Association and others. He says important questions in upcoming years could include whether or not to move the fire station and whether or not to consolidate with other departments—discussions he has experience with over the hill.

There’s been an even bigger switch in

the Central Fire District, where four union candidates are in the lead to beat out four incumbents. The district found itself under a magnifying glass over leadership and firefighter compensation issues.

And in the Port District, science teacher Darren Gertler sits comfortably in first place in a race against three incumbents for three seats.

Gertler, who was endorsed by the Monterey Labor Council and the Democratic Women’s Club, knew he wanted to run after the district eliminated a popular program that let people fish for salmon right out of the harbor, and says current leadership has done a poor job of dredging the harbor mouth to keep it open.

He sent out a postcard mailer and started a Facebook campaign, which, for a social media skeptic like himself, was a big deal.

“I campaigned really hard. It was a hard battle,” he says. “I figured I would try really hard and just see what happens, instead of learning the hard way.”

their community, but she fears that it’s not enough. Historically, the trailer park has remained open to students year round, and residents have been allowed to live there for as many years consecutively as they choose until they graduate. The new model makes the trailer park function as any other housing option on campus, with an academic-year lease. Students can apply separately to live in the camper park during a summer term. Candelario fears that these changes will create turnover, making it difficult to pass on traditions, like twice-weekly potlucks.

“When people are allowed to live here for consecutive years, they really get the chance to feel at home, and trust the people around them,” says Candelario.

Hernandez-Jason says that UCSC’s housing department is working to address the larger county-wide housing crisis. This year they have added more beds, including adding them to former open spaces like dormitory lounges. He says leaders are also looking at renovating Kresge College and expanding affordable housing on the school’s west side.

Some residents fear that the camper park, which is at the top of the campus’s west side and above Kresge College, will also be looked at down the road as another place for the university to build something bigger, although Hernandez-Jason says the park will be there for a long time.

And as a housing crisis continues in Santa Cruz, Candelario fears that low-income communities are at risk in what’s become one of the most expensive counties in the U.S. “Right now, there are 16 blank spots that could be someone’s home,” says Candelario, adding that there’s a constant waiting list of about 30-80 names on it of students interested in moving into the camper park. “I know there are a lot more homeless students than the school would like to admit, and it’s an issue that’s not really talked about or recognized. It’s a hard realization that someone who might be your friend in class is sleeping in their car every night, and they don’t want to tell you because there’s a negative stigma that surrounds it.”

his last election cycle featured both U.S. presidential candidates claiming that the other would be the most likely to start a nuclear war, playing into our cultural anxiety that perhaps we have reached the final days where unstable leaders of countries armed to the hilt with nukes begin pushing buttons. But is it possible that, instead, we are due for a deus ex machina, a planet-saving meeting with our makers, the ancient alien farmers who seeded this planet with DNA millions of years ago?

According to a lot of people who waited hours in line at Alien Con just to be told all of the events were sold out, the answer is a resounding yes.

“The truth is out there”—that’s the battle cry of those who are knee-deep in government conspiracies and other cover-ups of the X-Files kind. I’ve always found theories about alternative origins of our species interesting, and I decided I was going to find the truth. Like Fox Mulder, I then spent most of my time in the basement looking at porn. Also like Mulder, I believed I could handle the truth, and on the last weekend of October, I was willing to travel over the hill to Silicon Valley to find it.

My inner Jersey-bred skeptic was bristling; even 30 years in California hasn’t really blunted that edge. And nothing brings out critical thinking in me more than being enveloped by dyed-in-the-wool believers of any ilk. I arrived at Alien Con in Santa Clara, surprised at the multitude of people mucking about. I wasn’t sure who was more desperate, the thousands of people hoping for proof that life beyond our planet exists, or the group of people waving “Jill Stein for President” banners in front of the Hyatt Regency Convention Center. Considering how politics has been going, was believing in a widespread conspiracy to cover up visitations from extraterrestrials completely nuts?

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while on the presidential campaign trail, repeatedly promised she would “get to the bottom” of the UFO phenomenon, as long as it didn’t “threaten national security.” Clinton is also on tape saying, “There’s enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen making them up.” President-elect Donald Trump’s position on Area 51 is still unclear, but from the top down, talk of little green men and flying saucers is all the rage in America—and has been since the 1940s.

According to the History Channel’s show Ancient Aliens (which was an Alien Con sponsor) and armchair ancient alien theorists everywhere, we have been visited by space dwellers since time immemorial. But I wasn’t interested in theories—OK, I was totally interested in theories, but more importantly, I was on a mission to meet people who had been on, or at least seen, UFOs. One thing I can say about Alien Con is that I better understand what it feels like to be abducted by a UFO, after being surrounded by thousands of devotees in grey alien masks. I definitely lost three hours of time, and that was just the line for coffee. And at certain points I wouldn’t have minded reappearing a mile away from the Convention Center, naked and crying, with no memory of what had happened.

AT ALIEN CON, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM Bret Lueder (right) and Spartacus have a close encounter of the H.R. Giger kind. PHOTO: DNA

<19

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIRST KIND Throughout the day, I shadowed the author of the book A UFO Hunter’s Guide—and a moderator of one of the Alien Con events—Bret Lueder.

Lueder is a tall hippie-athleteredneck combo with a penchant for the weird. We met more than 20 years ago, while working for a bona fide warlock at a magazine that focused on the occult, the bizarre and the possibility of life beyond Earth. Bret was always a believer, while I thought the truth behind life’s mysteries was probably stranger than we could even imagine.

Two decades later, gray hair has not dimmed Lueder’s keen intellect.

In fact, he’s somewhat of a celebrity in this crowd—friends with one of the stars of Ancient Aliens, even.

Even so, he says he has respectful disagreements with other bigwigs of the scene. “We don’t see eye-to-eye on some things,” explains Lueder cryptically.

Like any scene, there is infighting and jockeying for position. There are those who are considered the experts, and those who are considered the lunatics. But in the UFO community, it’s hard to tell the difference. My skeptic mind was eased upon seeing an old friend, but the truth-seeker in me needed to stay on point. I found myself drawn to a man standing next to an expo booth who said his name was Javier Sandoval. When I asked him if he had ever been contacted by aliens, his eyes lit up.

“I was in Mexico, in a house with three other people,” said Sandoval softly. “All of a sudden the TV starts emitting a blue light. We all sensed

something, but didn’t know what it was. I started to read books, trying to figure out what happened. Three weeks later, I’m driving home from work, coming over the hill, and there was a flying saucer in broad daylight. Since then, I only see them at night, and I can show you videos.”

Sandoval says he’s clairvoyant now because of the experience, as well as constantly dehydrated.

“That’s one thing contactees never talk about,” he says. “The thirst.”

Twenty minutes later, after showing me numerous digital videos on his phone that had the resolution of a 1981 Missile Command arcade game, Lueder rescued me. “I can’t believe you were drawn to Javier,” he said, “He’s one of my crew.”

Turns out Lueder has a big crew, who I rolled through the exposition floor with for the rest of the day. It was like having a casual interest in ghosts, and then spending a day with the actual Ghostbusters. I heard first-hand accounts of UFOs, MiBs, alien hybrids and one fellow whose PTSD—from, he claimed, being abducted—was palpable.

Finally, I became convinced that these people were sincere, lovely and odd. And while I remained dubious of their wild stories, I am convinced that they were reporting experiences that were real to them— if not to anybody else.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SECOND KIND What was behind the interest

of the 10,000 alien enthusiasts who attended the oversold convention? A chance to feel the wild mane of Ancient Aliens’ rock star host, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos?

Perhaps. But also to get a chance to touch, glimpse or even smell the unknown—as alien theorist Terence McKenna referred to it, “the transcendental object at the end of time.” Or, what other people would call a UFO. Why? Because evidence of life beyond this planet might explain how we got here. It might fill the void that science and religion doesn’t satisfy.

Before his passing earlier this year, I got to talk to Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who summed up this human desire to understand our history, present and future. I asked the esteemed American hero if being in space for nine days gave him any new insights.

“I realized from that experience that our scientific cosmology on how we came to be and how the universe formed was incomplete and flawed,” says Mitchell. “We need a new story about ourselves. At some point in human life, people always ask the questions ‘who are we?,’ ‘how did we get here?’ and ‘where are we going?’

It seemed to me as a newly minted space-herded civilization that we needed to re-ask those questions.”

Did Mitchell experience anything otherworldly? “I experienced the universe as interconnected, and as an intelligent process,” he says. The

things he experienced, according to Mitchell, “neither are described nor understood in any of our official ways of knowing.”

Are UFOs part of this process?

Like a multiverse version of Whacka-Mole, they seem to appear and disappear before one can get a read on them—or a non-blurry photo. All of the much-hyped videos of aliens being dissected are fake, and much of the photography and digital film footage of orbs, spheres and cigarshaped craft have been discounted as well. It doesn’t leave a firm believer with much to go on. Jacques and Janine Vallee, in their landmark book Challenge to Science: The UFO Enigma, compiled thousands of reports over several decades. Official reports from military personnel and civilians were subjected to a critical analysis. The Vallees’ conclusion: “something” was happening, and it wasn’t just psychological.

That’s pretty vague, though.

Could there be actual proof that we were visited by extraterrestrials thousands of years ago? Consider the world’s foremost expert on Sumerian culture, Zecharia Sitchin.

Roundly and soundly debunked in the scientific community, his theories on extraterrestrial influence have still been a source guide for Ancient Alien theorists and sits at the heart of many conspiracy theories.

From his home in New York in 1997, Sitchin told me what he thinks the Sumerian texts said about our real forefathers and foremothers.

“They were capable of space travel half a million years ago and they had

as much knowledge as we do today,” the prolific author explained. “When they came here 450,000 years ago, we did not exist yet, there were only hominids. The Sumerian text and the Book of Genesis, which is based on the Sumerian text, acknowledge and recognize evolution. Homo sapiens did not exist, modern man was not here, there were only apemen and women, if you like. The Sumerian text says that when the Annunaki came here they needed workers, manpower, and through genetic engineering combined their genes with the hominids. That was 300,000 years ago, which scientific studies suggest is when our species, Homo sapien, first appeared. They jumped the gun on evolution and brought us half a million, a million, I don’t know [how many], years ahead. Evolution would have brought us around anyway, but not as fast as they could have.”

Was Sitchin correct? Do these ancient cuneiform texts talk about genetic engineering and creatures from another planet? I needed a second opinion.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (OR CLOSE ENOUGH) I once interviewed the late social theorist, mischief maker and Capitola resident Robert Anton Wilson. To Wilson, the idea of somebody accurately translating text from a dead language was highly suspicious. “You can ask five people who saw a car accident yesterday and get five different stories,” he said. “Everyone believes

their own B.S. (belief system) and experts are the worst people to get rounded stories from.”

To varying degrees, the truth is already out there. Pope Francis does have a plan in place to baptize extraterrestrials (perhaps with Papal tongue-in-cheek). Several world governments did release their UFO files. Stephen Hawking does seem hell bent on warning us about first contact. And these aren’t your run-of-the-mill kooks on the side of the road, staring into the sun with cardboard signs that say, “Welcome Visitors.” From Harvard’s John Mack—whose work with abductees is eye-opening and disturbing—to generals, firemen and farmers, many seemingly sane people claim “something” is happening, has happened and will happen again.

Others argue that humanity is just a series of evolutionary mistakes and mutations, a random chance of bumping atoms, a Darwinian singular event amid the billions of habitable planets in the galaxy.

Could we really be alone in an everexpanding space?

Across the world we struggle to find patterns, connect the dots and see what draws things together, so that we may get a sense of why we are here and who we are in relation to everything else. But evidence doesn’t always point to a conclusion.

Are the patterns on the Nazca Desert floor landing strips for UFOs, or were they drawn by the Banksy of Peru?

Have commercial enterprises like Alien Con, while bringing fans and TV stars together ($40 an autograph), taken what is a very dark and serious subject for many believers and made it silly?

Ufologist Bret Lueder thinks so, but he has a sage perspective. “In 2007, I interviewed Bill Birnes of UFO Hunters TV show and UFO Magazine fame,” says Lueder. “I asked him if it hurt the UFO field that Roswell logos were emblazoned on T-shirts, coffee cups and children’s toys. He said that that kind of mainstream exposure, while trivializing the subject on the one hand, actually helps spread the ideas on the other.

The subject is too much for the

mainstream mind to handle, so easing into the source material is a good thing.”

Beyond the glitz and merchandising of Alien Con, I bonded with a dude there who genuinely seemed tuned into something powerful. His name is Spartacus, and while his humanity was deep and resourceful, his stories were the most extreme.

“The last time I went to one of these gatherings, two hybrids started shadowing me. They were like 6-foot-1, beautiful, but their eyes and hands were different. Wherever I went, they were right behind me, or around me. Hybrids can sense people that are empathic. We are a magnet for them.”

Whether or not Spartacus is pursued by alien hybrids who seek to mate with him, or elusive Men in Black who prowl the perimeter of his property at night, or a Plebeian craft that buzzes his neighborhood every month became less important to me as the day wore on. Spartacus reminded me that people who are kind, interesting and genuine are enough of a truth to find sometimes.

As god dang folksy as it sounds, maybe the truth we need the most isn’t “out there” somewhere, but inside, where it’s been all along.

Here’s another truth: One time, as I was staring out of the window of La Bahia, looking at the Monterey Bay at dusk, I saw a UFO. It was gelatinous, definitely floating toward me, and something I had never seen before. My mind was racing, desperately trying to identify what my eyes were registering, when I suddenly noticed another one behind it. Then two, then a dozen. I don’t know how much time had passed before my sense of danger finally kicked in. I shouted out to my wife, who ran to the window and explained that they were balloons released by the Coast Guard for a training exercise. She then patted me on the head like a dog. Once again, Scully trumped Mulder. But deep down, I don’t care what anybody says; I know the truth is still out there.

<28 Area, at Cabrillo College’s Crocker Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m. All of the songs performed throughout the show, entitled “Last Time Around,” will be either composed or arranged by Brown.

Included in Brown’s amazing ensemble are saxophone soloists Mary Fettig, Paul Contos, Bennett Friedman and Charlie McCarthy; baritone sax player Mike Young; trombone soloists John Gove, Dave Eshelman, Dave Gregoric and Dave Martell); bass trombonist Steve Barnhill; trumpet soloists Erik Jekabson and Don Beck; third trumpet Mike Galisatus; and two lead trumpets, Rich Bice and Louis Fasman. The rhythm section is also legendary, with pianist Eddie Mendenhall, bassist John Shifflett, drummer Alan Hall, and Brown’s brother Steve Brown on guitar.

Brown was raised with big band music in his blood. His father, Glenn Brown, a marimba and vibraphone player, toured during the 1950s and 1960s with Xavier Cugat, the Cuban-raised band leader who first popularized Latin jazz in the U.S. When he was a kid, Brown and his family actually followed Cugat and his father on a cross-country tour while sleeping in the family’s Buick woodie station wagon or on blankets on ballroom floors after the shows.

A decade later, Brown’s dad ran a music summer camp on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, where the teenage Brown got his first formal training in music with classes spanning “theory, arranging, copying (calligraphy), improvisation and combos,” and also performed in his first big band, which Brown recalls “was playing concerts three to four nights a week.”

“We rehearsed every day,” Brown notes, “and I started writing arrangements at that time. I actually conducted the band one night and that set it off for me. I grew to love the sound of all the horns.”

During the Vietnam War, Brown played trumpet in the U.S. Army’s touring jazz band, and as soon as he was released he hooked up with Kenton, still touring the U.S. as the last remnant of the big band era.

Kenton was known for his big blaring horn sections—his was the original “wall of sound,” long before

&

Phil Spector developed a similar concept in pop and rock—and the then-25-year-old Brown was a more tempered trumpeter than those high, strong players usually favored

by Kenton. “I was more in the Art Farmer mode,” says Brown. He wasn’t sure if he was going to stick.

“Honestly, I don't think Stan much liked my playing at first,” Brown recalls, “but I grew on him, and we eventually became good friends—so much so that he had me rehearse the band for him numerous times.”

Shortly thereafter, Brown wound up at Cabrillo, raised a family, and became a lynchpin in Santa Cruz County’s musical community. He’s recorded, conducted and performed around the world. In 1990, he received a Fulbright Senior Professorship to the University of Mainz in Germany.

He and his wife Sue, herself a talented violinist and violist, packed up their three daughters for a six-month German adventure.

Once he got back from that sojourn to Germany, he began to build the Great Big Band. It’s been a great 27-year run, but time has started to take its toll. One of his band members, Steve Campos, passed away last year.

“It has been magnificent,” says Brown. “But I think it’s time. I’ve had a great group of players to write for, and I’ve done that religiously.

My ‘book’ now has 150 works in it.

That’s a nice round number. I guess you could say I have some other projects I’d like to tackle.”

And despite putting the GBB to bed, Brown—who formally retired from Cabrillo two years ago, but still teaches two courses each semester—also promises to keep performing locally, albeit on a much more intimate scale.

Beginning in December, he and his longtime pianist Eddie Mendenhall will play gigs as a duet dubbed “Tuo” at Gayle’s in Capitola. Their first show will be Tuesday, Dec. 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Ray Brown’s Great Big Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, at Cabrillo College Crocker Theater, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos. Tickets $25 general; $20 student, available at brownpapertickets.com, or at the door.

ver wonder what really goes on beneath the ocean’s surface? A lot more than most of us know, it turns out. That’s why the Beneath the Waves Film Festival aims to lift the veil of mystery with an afternoon of short films, discussions and presentations.

This Saturday, Nov. 19, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary will host the fourth annual film festival, which will present works on environmental issues in our oceans and some of today’s most important conservation efforts.

The event will be broken into two sections, the first starting at noon with the theme “Threatened and Thriving,” and the second, “Wave Makers,” beginning at 2 p.m.

Several of the short films were made by students, like Take Ten for Turtles and Man and Manatee, which outline the plights of their respective subjects. Hundreds of high school and even elementary students competed to have their pieces shown through the festival’s “Youth Making Ripples” contest.

The “Threatened and Thriving” segment aims to inform viewers about species that are struggling,

and projects successfully working to save them. The film Bali Close Up, for instance, chronicles how many animals are fighting to survive without a reef in a desert of black volcanic sand on the northeastern part of the island, offering a window into a rarely seen ecosystem.

Some films, like Antarctic Sea Science Expedition and Cashes Ledge: Jewel of the Gulf of Maine, take viewers below the ocean’s surface to the world of plankton, benthic invertebrates, pelagic organisms and the deep sea. One Voice focuses on a conservation success story: the humpback whale’s return from the brink of extinction. In the 1970s, there were only about 500 left in the entire North Pacific; today, there are over 25,000.

“Threatened and Thriving” will be followed by a presentation from Dr. Andrew Devogelaere of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and Dr. James Lindholm, director of the Institute for Applied Marine Ecology, will speak after “Wave Makers.”

Info: Noon-5 p.m. Sanctuary Exploration Center, 35 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.

MUDDYING UP THE WATERS Dirtwire brings their mash-up of electronic and acoustic sounds to Moe’s Alley on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Dirtwire delivers an otherworldly blend of electronic and acoustic sounds BY AARON CARNES

E

van Fraser has a lot of instruments. Like, hundreds of them. And not just guitars and drums and all that boring stuff—he collects musicmakers from all over the world that are completely foreign to anyone who isn’t an ethnomusicologist.

His favorite is the jaw harp— that little handheld mouth harp instrument Snoopy likes to play. It’s one of the most global instruments around, and one that’s important to his band Dirtwire. The group blends instruments from all over the world with electronic beats, so the more international flavor he can add to his music, the better.

“You can find jaw harps in every Asian country, every European country. Africa and South America have a mouth bow, which is essentially the same thing,” Fraser says. “They’ve been the gateway to learning each music culture from every continent. That’s what we’re all about—blowing out those clichés, not getting cubbyholed by any one thing.”

He semi-jokingly refers to his band as purveyors of “swamptronica,” but even that doesn’t do justice to the unique sounds Dirtwire creates.

The band is, in the truest sense, a synthesis of organic acoustic instruments and cutting-edge electronics, and Fraser, David Satori

(known for his other band Beats Antique) and recently added third member Mike Hoffman are influenced by anything and everything.

“I feel like you can get inspiration from one note of an instrument. I like bringing the organic voice to the world, especially as technology continues to jump to the forefront. I feel like it’s great to be able to balance the two. It’s a way to bridge different worlds that we love,” Fraser says.

Despite the democratic nature of their instrument selection, the end results tend to sound more like electronic than folk or world beat.

Fraser sees what they’re doing as creating electronic music that is

more interesting and varied than the millions of strictly computer-based producers are creating. The beats are familiar to anyone that loves house and techno, but the melodies and harmonies are more lush than anything a computer could generate.

“We’re a breath of fresh air to the electronic audience because it’s not total computer, alien slaughter. We like to blend it all together, and do it in a tasteful way,” says Fraser.

“People appreciate dancing to fullbody music with plenty of bass and a nice melody. In my opinion, that’s missing in electronic music.”

In the studio, the threesome begins with pretty much any instrument they can imagine, and then layer on an organic or computerized one they feel complements it. Touring is a whole other story: the laptop is their rhythm section, and a lot of the acoustic instruments they recorded with stay back at the studio, but are still heard on the backing tracks.

They lug with them mostly small instruments (remember the jaw harps?) that will fit comfortably into a suitcase, and they play those to give people a show that mixes live and prerecorded instruments together.

“I like small, portable instruments,” Fraser says. “If there’s a harmonica part in the computer recorded, then we just take out the harmonica, and there’s room for me to play it live. The same thing with all the other instruments.”

Dirtwire formed around the same time as Beats Antique. To some degree, they’ve recently been getting more attention because of Beats Antique’s success. Satori and Fraser go all the way back to the California Institute of Arts, where they met as students.

They immediately hit it off, and shared a vision for the kind of genre-bending music they could make together.

“David and I really think alike.

We all enjoy a similar aesthetic.

There are things we love about electronic music, and things we love about acoustic, Appalachian and blues, folk traditions,” says Fraser.

“Blending the two just seems natural to us. It also gives the music a wider audience, and a new platform.”

When Brooke returns to her family home in Palm Springs for the first Christmas in six years, she brings with her the memoir she’s about to publish which tells the story of her older brother’s never-discussed suicide. The resulting tumult leads to profound questions about obligations to family in the face of the truth and what happens when they conflict. Jon Robin’s Other Desert Cities won the 2011 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best New Off-Broadway Play, was nominated for five Tony Awards in 2012 and was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for drama. This Friday, Nov. 18, Mountain Community Theater celebrates the opening of their rendition, headed by Peter Gelblum, with a champagne reception after the show.

LOCAL BAND SHUBERT ALLEY CATS

Shubert Alley is a narrow, 300-foot-long pedestrian alleyway originally built as a fire exit between the Shubert and Booth Theatres in the heart of New York City’s Broadway district. The name is fitting for Santa Cruz’s only local Broadway act, the Shubert Alley Cats, whose three members—Rocky Pase on guitar and vocals, Carol Thorson on piano, and Paul Trigg on upright bass—all share a deep affection for the show tunes of the late 1940s and mid-1950s.

NOVEMBER 16-22, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We grew up with show tunes playing in our houses,” Rocky reminisces. “You get so caught up in it … I remember being 10 years old and playing basketball out in the snow in Long Island, and I’m singing “Maria” at the top of my lungs, shooting hoops and singing my face off out in the snow. But Broadway is some of the most beautiful music—that’s why it’s on Broadway, these shows that run for years and years and years. The music and the lyrics are so beautiful and captivating.”

44

A Shubert Alley Cats show will typically blend original songs, jazz standards, and show tunes—often with dialogue to set the scene. Part of the draw is in the way that Rocky recreates that interaction between the players and the audience. “Live theater and the music that accompanies it will never die. It’s irreplaceable. Nothing could replace the live communication between what’s happening onstage and with the audience, the people who are listening to and responding to it. Magical things happen when there’s that incredible validation and admiration going back and forth.” KATIE SMALL INFO: 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, Zizzo’s Coffeehouse and Wine Bar, 3555 Clares St., Suite PP, Capitola. Free. 477-0680.

JOHN BROWN’S BODY

THURSDAY 11/17 REGGAE

JOHN BROWN’S BODY Hailing from Boston, and Ithaca, New York, John Brown’s Body is a reggae group whose members describe their sound as “future roots music.” What that means is that the band starts with a solid, roots-reggae foundation, but then expands its range to incorporate funk, ska, hip-hop, dub and more. Formed in the mid-’90s, John Brown’s Body was one of the first American reggae acts to garner a national following. The band has since dropped 11 albums, the latest of which is this year’s Fireflies, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae charts. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 11/18 FOLK

MATT VASQUEZ Matthew Logan Vasquez is the lead vocalist and guitarist for San

Diego-based indie rock band Delta Spirit. This fall, the Texan leaves his new son—who he named Thor—to embark on a solo tour throughout the West Coast. Although most of Vasquez’ solo EP is made up of songs that he originally wrote for Delta Spirit (including an 18-minute intro), the album has a heavier folk influence, reminiscent of early Neil Young. Vasquez himself describes the record as an “epic American saga [that] conjures desert visions of Crazy Horse guitar solos, David Crosby’s mustache, and a journey through the past on mescaline.” KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $14. 429-6994.

PUNK

NUMBSKULL ANNIVERSARY SHOW Numbskull Productions has been putting on crazy punk rock shows in California for 27 years now. Why not celebrate by rattling your own skull in the pit at the upcoming anniversary show? Numbskull puts on shows in various cities around California, but Santa Cruz is one of its bread-

and-butter markets. The lineup is nuts: Suicidal Tendencies, Good Riddance, Leftover Crack, Swingin’ Utters, Fury 66, Screw 32 and the Missing 23rd. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $26.50/adv, $31.50/door. 429-4135.

COUNTRY

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL A giant of country music, Asleep at the Wheel is at this point more an institution than a group. Formed in Paw Paw, West Virginia way back in 1969, the band has been the top-of-mind Western swing outfit for the better part of 50 years. Now a staple of the Austin music scene, Asleep at the Wheel continues its reign as genre ambassador, with nine Grammy Awards, 20 Billboard singles and somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 albums. The band’s most recent offering is Still the King, a tribute to the music of Western swing pioneer Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

PETER ROWAN Raised on Elvis Presley and rockabilly, bluegrass singer-songwriter Peter Rowan first drank the bluegrass Kool-Aid in college, where he was introduced to legendary acts like the Country Gentlemen, the Stanley Brothers and the mighty Bill Monroe, the father of the genre.

Clarence White and Jerry Garcia.

Saturday’s performance is a benefit for the Wise Women’s Channel, a documentary platform bringing the “wisdom of today’s tribal leaders, medicine women, and teachers to the world.” CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.

He’s even released some incredible later albums like Harvest Moon and Sleep With Angels. The point is that local Young tribute band Not So Young covers tunes from Young’s expansive and mind-boggling 50-year career. AC INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

English Beat is one of a handful of bands for which any ska fan will immediately suit up and dance. Yet, in an interview leader Dave Wakeling said that the goal was to play reggae and punk. How can this be? Ska’s high-energy danceability, it turns out, was a nice meeting ground for these two disparate genres. Other 2 Tone bands from the era had a similar realization, which explains why those bands, particularly the English Beat, were so diverse and unique. These bands weren’t trying to create a ska revival—they were just liberal with their influences. AC

the first ever awarded for reggae music). After leading the group to international success, Rose pursued his own solo career for a few years before founding a coffee farm in Jamaica. The singer reunited with Derrick “Duckie” Simpson and Black Uhuru again in 2004, and has been back on the music scene ever since. Over a career spanning four decades, Rose has stayed true to reggae’s roots. KS

One of California’s favorite Celtic acts, Molly’s Revenge plays high-energy Irish and Scottish music with uplifting and infectious enthusiasm. Every year around this time, the band members bring their bagpipe, whistle, fiddle, guitar, mandola, bodhran and more to town for a celebration of old and new Christmas tunes from around the world. Joined by guest vocalist Christa Burch, as well as the Rosemary Turco Irish Dancers, the evening promises to be a toe-tapping affair full of stories, songs, seasonal warmth and dance.

‘MOON’ SHOT Alex R. Hibbert plays ‘Little’ in Barry Jenkins’ coming-of-age drama ‘Moonlight.’

A Little Insight NOVEMBER 16-22, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Race, identity and love explored in ‘Moonlight’ BY LISA JENSEN

50

B

lack lives matter in Moonlight, filmmaker Barry Jenkins’ eloquent coming-of-age drama that explores issues of race, culture, and love in unexpected ways. Adapted by Jenkins from an unproduced play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, the story zeroes in on three key moments in the life of its protagonist as he searches for his place in the world.

Beautifully acted, shot with visual intensity, and featuring a haunting soundtrack by Nicholas Britell, the movie begins in the recent past, in the suburbs of Miami. A minor neighborhood drug kingpin, Juan (the charismatic Mahershala Ali), originally from Cuba, is making his

rounds one day in his souped-up vintage Impala when he sees a pack of kids chasing a boy. Tracking down the scared, silent boy to a boardedup apartment house, Juan persuades him to come home with him. Over dinner with Juan’s girlfriend, Teresa (Janelle Monáe), the boy reveals that his name is Chiron, but everybody calls him “Little” (Alex R. Hibbert).

Juan takes the boy home to his mother, Paula (Naomie Harris), a wary single mom addicted to crack.

But Little, neglected by his mom and leery of the strange men who visit her, starts spending more time with Juan and Teresa. Juan becomes the boy’s mentor and surrogate father; he teaches him to swim in the ocean, and offers thoughtful advice about finding

his own identity, no matter what bullies, or his mother, say about him.

“You gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be,” he tells Little.

In the movie’s middle section, we meet Chiron again as a 16-year-old high school student (now played

by Ashton Sanders)—still a loner, and baited by another gang of boys, led by trash-talking Terrel (Patrick Decile). Teresa is still in his life, offering a sympathetic ear, a meal, and a place to stay whenever he needs it. But Paula is in worse shape than ever; at times, Chiron would rather ride around on streetcars all night than go home to her.

The one friend he’s retained since grade school, easygoing Kevin (Jharrel Jerome) has learned

to play Terrel’s game, and avoid confrontations. But when Terrel instigates a situation that involves the two friends, Chiron is driven to stand up for himself and take action.

About 10 years later, in the movie’s final act, we catch up with Chiron (played as a hard-edged adult by Trevante Rhodes), whose life has taken a turn that’s both unexpected, and, sadly, inevitable. He’s been long out of the neighborhood when one night he receives a phone call out of the blue from Kevin. Both men have spent time in Juvenile Hall, but Kevin’s experience has been positive—he learned to cook. Now he’s a chef at a Miami diner that he invites Chiron to visit if he’s ever back in town.

So Chiron hits the road on a collision course with the past.

First stop: visiting his rueful mom in rehab. Next, as stoic and silent as ever, he shows up at the diner to scope out the situation and surprise Kevin (now played by warm, engaging André Holland).

It’s time for a reckoning at last, as Chiron comes to terms not only with everything that happened in his past, but who he will decide to be.

There’s a lot of street slang in the movie, so viewers have to stay alert. But it doesn’t matter if you miss some of the dialogue, because the story is so much larger than the contemporary setting—it’s about choices, upbringing and the search for identity. Director Jenkins keeps the focus on the human drama, but his storytelling is also visually evocative: reeling camerawork spins a cocoon around Juan and one of his street corner dealers, showing just how completely trapped they are in this life; the harsh, saturated interiors in Paula’s bleak apartment reflect her emotional chaos.

Best of all, Moonlight gives us a new way to look at characters and situations that are only clichés on the fringes of most mainstream movies. It’s a slice of cinematic poetry with a vision all its own.

MOONLIGHT (***1/2) With Naomie Harris, Mahershala Ali, Ashton Sanders, Trevante Rhodes, André Holland, and Alex R. Hibbert.

Written by Barry Jenkins. From the play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin McCraney. Directed by Barry Jenkins.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BLEED FOR THIS World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza was at the top of his game and the top of the world until a car crash broke his neck.

Simmons co-star. (R) 128 minutes.

ALMOST CHRISTMAS Aah, movies about dysfunctional families during the holidays … do they make us thankful for our own dysfunctional families, or just more fearful? David E. Talbert directs. Kimberly Elise, Omar Epps, Danny Glover co-star. (PG-13) 112 minutes.

AMERICAN HONEY They’re going door-to-door to make money selling magazines but this ragtag group of young misfits are more about the sex and drugs than entrepreneurial spirit.

AMERICAN PASTORAL Swede Levov is a hardworking, respected family man who’s been a staple in his community for years.

Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel co-star. (R) 110 minutes.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION No, the U.S. as a post-racial society is not a thing just because a bunch of people watched 12 Years a Slave.

JACK REACHER Jeez, the cosmetologists have really secured a sweet package deal for Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise. Oh wait, are Ethan Hunt and Jack Reacher not the same person? Edward Zwick directs. Cobie Smulders and Robert Knepper co-star. (PG-13) 118 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK strewn on top of the acreage of flat bread “pizza.” I would have preferred a smaller portion with more pork belly to provide more flavor bang for the buck. But that’s just me. I will go back early and often for the outstanding house burger and allstar fries. And to try some of the gluten-free beers available at West End Tap and Kitchen, open daily from 11:30 a.m. westendtap.com.

NEW LEAF SECOND HARVEST DONATION

I love New Leaf’s delicious, free-range and sensitively-raised Smart Chicken poultry. And now I have yet another reason to procure those plump little Smart Chicken thighs. Throughout the month of November, New Leaf will benefit the crucial work of Second Harvest Food Bank. Here’s the deal: For every 10 pounds of Smart Chicken purchased, one pound will be donated

by New Leaf to Second Harvest. Last holiday season, New Leaf donated 2.5 tons of Smart Chicken to Second Harvest, bringing the total to more than 19 tons since 2006, when New Leaf launched the Smart Giving program. I love these win/win events.

You take home Smart Chickens for your dinner, and New Leaf donates this healthy poultry to help folks in need. Get some at your neighborhood New Leaf Community Market.

A Better Burger West End Tap and Kitchen’s burger game is strong, plus fall flavors from Mission Hill BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

ndustrial glamor oozes through the hipster cavern and outdoor porch of this go-to gastropub West End Tap and Kitchen in the Ingalls Street complex. We like the sleek raised banquette in the front room—all the better to check out the action in the bar, lounge, and of course on those flat-screen TVs. But we weren’t prepared to find one of the best burgers that ever sat on a plate.

The mighty and juicy House Ground Burger ($13) offers grassfed, pastured beef on a Gayle’s challah bun with all the trimmings

including a boatload of hot, crisp panko-crusted fries. If not the deal of the century, the next best thing.

“This is everything I want in a burger,” my picky companion raved with his mouth full. Indeed, it was. The mouth-happy flavor was augmented by the Annie’s organic ketchup that West End keeps on hand.

Our lunch started off, as it must, with the compelling house pickles, involving great crisp slabs of pickled squash, cuke, yellow bell, and carrot—each offering a healthy patina of red pepper fire power.

These pickles were made for beer.

My companion was also impressed with the house non-alcoholic brew from Erdinger, loaded with authentic lager depth.

My Nevada-sized order of the Pork Belly Flatbread ($15) amounted to a lot of soft and chewy dough topped with potato and parsnip purée (yes, an odd combo), plus delicious grilled sweet onions and smoked gouda, which sort of got lost in all the thick spongy dough. There were some, but not enough, pork belly bits and micro-slices of pickled Romanesco

PIE OF THE WEEK

The moist, firm, nutmeg-intensive pumpkin pie at The Buttery tastes like your grandmother made it.

Not too sweet, and absolutely not “commercial” tasting, it flatters the custard origins of this epic autumn dessert. We consumed ours licketysplit. $2.25/slice.

MISSION HILL CREAMERY FALL FLAVORS

The seasons change, and so do the artisan offerings at this brilliant ice cream works. The Creamery’s fall flavor line-up includes an addictive Sweet Potato with Toasted Marshmallow, Pumpkin, Brown Sugar Gingersnap, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Pistachio, as well as the last of Summer Melon sorbet. Is this a great part of the country or what? Melon sorbet and Brown Sugar Gingersnap in the same space-time continuum. missionhillcreamery.com.

hy should you care that there’s another coffee shop in town? Well, for one thing, Cat and Cloud co-owners Jared Truby and Chris Baca are both award-winning baristas. (Yes, they won actual barista competitions).

The two of them, along with third co-owner Charles Jack, opened Cat and Cloud a month and a half ago.

Before that, they had been selling their coffee through an internet delivery subscription service (which they still offer). Oh, and they have a popular coffee-themed podcast, Cat and Cloud. Truby gave us the scoop on Cat and Cloud.

they serve “the best coffee” or have the “coolest-looking place.” There’s nothing lasting about something that looks or tastes cool. We needed to have a place where people could come together and be a community. I could talk to one person and Starbucks is the best coffee. Some will say that Verve coffee is the best they ever had.

My job isn’t to make them right or wrong. My job is to make them say, “I feel better, and more supported, and I feel in tune with my community when I go to Cat and Cloud than I do at these other places.”

How is your approach to coffee different?

It’s honestly just a platform. There is almost no agenda in that we just talk about coffee and our experiences.

People write in and we answer their questions. We’ll interview people and talk about their experiences. Chris and I have been in the coffee community for the past 15 years. There are a lot of coffee theories on the internet. It’s great to be able to tell people what’s true and what’s not. People worldwide are listening to it.

JARED TRUBY: I don’t think a lot of coffee roasters are doing it the way we are doing it. The way we roast coffee, it allows us to keep a lot of the flavors that are exciting, and balance it out in such a way that it’s really approachable—so everybody that comes into our shop can easily find a coffee that they love.

But is there room for another cafe in Santa Cruz?

enis Hoey’s Odonata wines just get better and better. His 2013 Pinot Noir is simply gorgeous, and awash with bold flavors of woodsy spice and forest floor. Earthy aromas matched with black cherry round out this elegant Pinot. “This is textbook Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir both in complexity and flavor,” says winemaker Hoey. “This wine will age for many years to come.”

Grapes are harvested from Falcon Hill Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains which Hoey refers to as “my estate.” “I am in full control of growing practices in this vineyard,” he says. “I farm this vineyard organically—it is the core of the winery’s Pinot program.”

I tasted this Pinot ($38), along with several other Odonata wines, at a Route 1 Farms in Santa Cruz, where farm owner Jeff Larkey hosts an impressive Summer Farm Dinner Series with guest chefs and winemakers. Kendra Baker of Assembly prepared incredible food for this particular dinner, and Hoey poured his Falcon Hill Pinot to go with a main course of grilled pork loin and vegetables served with tender gnocchi and roasted beets.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES JUSTICE BECOMES BLINDED The month of Scorpio has sped by quickly. Here we are in Scorpio’s last days. On Monday, Nov. 21, the Sun enters Sagittarius, sign of the archer and the sign of silence. Finally, silence after the raucous cacophony before and after Election Day. Scorpio certainly brought us tests we couldn’t have imagined, and those tests will continue as the U.S. struggles with widespread protests and intolerance. It is important to understand and teach children that America was founded upon freedom. Early settlers of America fled intolerance from the “old country” and came to America to establish freedom. Freedom of speech, of religion, of liberty, of equality, all under the Rule of Law. These were the principles and underpinnings of the first American Revolution.

Pluto (end of an era) was last in Capricorn at the American Revolution (1765–1783) when America

was founded. Now, as Pluto again moves through Capricorn, the issues of freedom, liberty and the Rule of Law need to be reviewed.

Sirius, the blue-white star that helped found and continues to guide America, is called the Star of Freedom. The present eruption of intolerance we see in America is due to lack of education concerning history, morals, values and citizenship. Sagittarius calls us to silence so we can contemplate these things. Sagittarius also shows us that when we don’t have tolerance and don’t understand or respect freedom of speech and liberty, that we blindfold justice for everyone.

Our Declaration of Human Rights states: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Be prepared for a feeling of being tested, a continual sense of being watched, graded, guided and being prepared for further responsibility, especially in terms of tending to others’ finances and resources. Intimacy may be an issue—either you seek or reject it. You need to study the Ancient Mysteries (the foundations being astrology). Your questions are answered there.

The Sun calls you to focus upon your past and present values. They give you a self-awareness and perhaps also the needs of humanity. Assess your financial picture— how you use money, how your money supports self, family and those in need, and how money emotionally supports your way of life. For the next month appreciate all that you have, all people and things, small and large.

Love grows with gratitude.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 16, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You seek more than usual depth in relationships. Or you become silent and secretive, seeking your own counsel, seeking intimacy of spirit, following your own needs without considering the other. It’s best, though, to communicate with loved ones, informing them of your inner thoughts, hopes and wishes so you can work together more efficiently. You think there’s no money, but it’s all around you.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 As your mind works overtime, you realize that lots of work that’s not obvious at first must be accomplished.

If you look in corners, closets, under, over and above, in garages, storage units, your car(s), you’ll discover what needs to be eliminated so transformation and regeneration can come about. There’s special work to do with relationships, children, small animals and gardens, all needing play, color, communication, new intentions, a re-commitment (from you). No purple or brown, though.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You feel worried and anxious about family members— concerned about their choices, abilities, resources and lives. There may be a family member in a state of transition. You worry about someone female, perhaps a daughter, mother, sister. You know at a moment’s notice you’ll travel anywhere to help. In the meantime, bake sugar cookies, pies, breads, dumplings, stews and casseroles. You need soothing and gardening.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You need to head over to Cancer’s home for food. Then you need respite from the extreme amounts of work you’re encountering. Sometimes you don’t know why you’re doing this work. It seems you need more art, whether it’s yours or another’s. Relationships are either nebulous or too strict for words. Something usually hidden at home becomes illumined.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 With Mercury, your personal messenger, traveling through the sign of justice, your mind is extremely active, focusing first on yourself, your foundation, home and relationships. Then a depth of perception occurs.

As your words become very serious, almost mysterious, you call forth all parts of yourself to cooperate, ponder upon, ruminate, assess and then become intimate with the real truth.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The veils are dropping between realities so humanity can see more expanded realities. In the meantime, you/we are to be anthropologists, observing people’s behaviors.

Observing quietly with curiosity allows us to understand the two polarities; what’s staged (unreal), entraining the masses, and, on the other side, the Forces of Light, building the new reality as the old is destroyed. You have the ability to discern the difference.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You must go on a retreat from your usual daily life, plans, agendas and responsibilities. Eat well, take it easy, do personal research, work on private projects, ponder upon needs and values that emerge from quiet and solitude. Also, a distance is to be created, allowing you more perspective about how you’re living, what pleases you, and what you need. Give yourself a serious talk.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Jupiter is calling you into the world. You’re preparing for this; assessing goals, hopes, wishes and priorities in terms of what to say and give to others. You want to be perceived in a certain way. Know you are valuable and respected. Often when greatness enters a group, there can be resistance. Why? People cannot absorb the Sun’s light streaming through great people. You are that greatness.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Your vitality at this time is keeping you out and about in the world. Notice that you’re completing tasks and displaying special abilities. For the next month ponder upon how and what you want in the future. This is a time of assessing these things. It’s a time to consider new plans based upon your feelings and needs. Perhaps you consider some sort of move. It’s possible. New values and resources come forth.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Making contact so that love and understanding can be released is important to you. However, others don’t often think like you. Compassion rules the life of Pisces.

Everyone is not a Pisces. You might stand alone this month and next. Focus upon study, reading, art, music, ideas becoming ideals within you. Create on paper (color, ink, drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.) your next endeavor. Include gardens, schools, several geodesic domes and the idea of the Commons.

What do you enjoy cooking? MARIA: “Everything.

Last night it was a bolognese sauce. We’ll do Asian foods, lots of salads, veggie and beef tacos, lasagna, stews, soups…” TAI: “We appreciate the highquality products from Shopper’s meat department such as the marinated skirt steak, spare ribs, chicken, and more. The butchers are very knowledgeable and great with tips and cooking techniques.” MARIA: “I do lot of shrimp and prawn salads, and the crab, when in season, is fabulous.

We completely trust that Shopper’s seafood will aways be fresh. That’s so important.” TAI: “We really like the local fish, especially the salmon.”

Buying local is important? MARIA: “Oh yes. Like with their produce: though an item may not be organic, if it’s local it’ll be the best quality. Shopper’s carries a lot of community-made products, including the coffees, breads, eggs, chocolates, fresh pasta, pesto, and more.” TAI: “Shopper’s has everything — If they don’t carry it you don’t need it! It’s also the easiest store to navigate, even during the holidays.”

MARIA: “That’s true — it’s one-stop shopping: I always get a Diestel turkey and hams here; also yams, sausages, veggies, and stuffing. I make my own pies from scratch.” TAI: “This is absolutely the best market, for value and family atmosphere”

How so? TAI: “The staff is super friendly! The checkers and butchers have known us before our girls, Tallulah and Chloe, were born — they’ve watched them grow up.” MARIA: “When our daughters were younger we knew this was a safe environment for them to walk around by themselves.

We’ve always felt welcomed. I like Shopper’s variety as you have options. You can find all the basics here or upgrade to a higher level.” TAI: “They have a great wine selection — we especially like the merlots and pinots — with nice price points.” MARIA: “They now carry a rosé aperitif by Lillet. I requested it. I feel like they got it just for me!”
