OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I wish things were a little bit different for this week’s Surf Issue.

Admittedly, we had a little bit of fun at Cartel Management’s expense last year when writing about how they bungled the addition of a women’s heat to the Titans of Mavericks surf contest planned for this year. But we were genuinely excited to see the results, and disappointed when the legendary big-wave surf contest was cancelled for 2017. So perhaps it’s a bit of wish fulfillment on our part to feature Santa Cruz’s Sarah Gerhardt in this year’s Surf Issue, since she was scheduled to compete in that firstever women’s heat. But the truth

Re: Green Screening (GT, 2/1): While city leaders are working on a Draft Parks Master Plan, they’re simultaneously crafting a Draft EIR for a development which could destroy a de facto park.

Ocean Street Extension, which stretches beyond city boundaries, provides city and county residents with quiet refuge immediately after turning off at the cemetery. The rural, bottlenecked street, once called “Italian Gardens,” is lush with organic farms, leading into redwood forest and access to the San Lorenzo River. For obvious reasons, the street is utilized regularly by joggers, walkers and cyclists from beyond the immediate neighborhood.

For many of these visitors, the area adjacent to the cemetery is the jumpingoff point (i.e., parking) while others utilize it simply as a quick pullout point to make phone calls or eat lunch in their vehicles— PG&E, Davey Tree, Xfinity and other commercial vehicles are frequently seen there. This spot is also crucial for overflow parking during funeral services with large attendance, such as occurred with the services for the slain SCPD officers several years ago.

So, what’s the threat? A proposal for

is, we’d be happy to tell Gerhardt’s story any year. She has a great one, having been the first woman to surf Mavericks, back in 1999. In her interview with Jacob Pierce, she shares an interesting take on the developments this year, as well as some first-person perspective on the thrill of surfing big waves.

Something new for our Surf Issue this year is a story with more of a historical focus—but then, when it’s the crazy history of Jack O’Neill launching hot air balloons from Santa Cruz beaches, we can hardly be expected to resist. And we’ve also profiled the important work that local marine-eco group Save the Waves is doing around the world. It’s a great line-up, and as usual, a fun issue for those of us putting it together. We hope it’s just as much fun for you.

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

10 three-story buildings in a 40 unit condo-complex on the hillside next to the crematory, of which only 15 percent will be “affordable.” Parking along the cemetery would become severely limited and will create new hazards for pedestrians and cyclists. The development is not along a city traffic corridor. There is no bus service.

The bike lane? Gone, in order to squeeze in a dangerous new intersection with an extended turn lane; Graham Hill Road commuters, take note.

The deer that graze on that hillside know where the wild edge is. Tell our city leaders that you know too. All too often, we don’t know what we’ve got ’til it’s gone.

TERESA AQUINO |SANTA CRUZ

NULL AND VOIDS My response to your cover story on young “culinary masterminds” (GT, 2/15) was disbelief that Santa Cruz diners are craving chicken feet or offal. What would most likely be more welcome would be some or all of the following: a good Spanish restaurant, a good Vietnamese restaurant, a good New Orleans restaurant (a step beyond the casual Roux Dat), a Peruvian restaurant, and most of all a real New York-style deli.

Someone please fill these voids.

Speakers included Mas Hashimoto from the Watsonville-Santa Cruz Japanese American Citizens League, Mayor Oscar Rios, Police Chief David Honda and Monterey County Supervisor Luis Alejo. 135 people attended the Presidents’ Day weekend event.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of February 22 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

My astrological radar suggests there’s a space-time anomaly looming just ahead of you. Is it a fun and exotic limbo where the rules are flexible and everything’s an experiment? That might be cool. Or is it more like an alien labyrinth where nothing is as it seems, you can hear howling in the distance, and you barely recognize yourself? That might be weird. What do you think? Is it worth the gamble? If so, full speed ahead. If not, I suggest a course correction.

How would Buddha ask for a raise or promotion? How would Jesus tinker with his career plans as he took into consideration large-scale shifts in the economy? How would Confucius try to infuse new approaches and ideas into the status quo of his work environment? Ruminate deeply on these matters, dear Libra. Your yearning to be more satisfyingly employed may soon be rewarded— especially if you infuse your ambitions with holy insight.

How would Joan of Arc break through the glass ceiling?

How would Harriet Tubman deal with the inefficiencies caused by excess testosterone? How would Hildegard of Bingen seek more emotional richness on the job?

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Someone on reddit.com asked readers to respond to the question, “What is the most liberating thought you’ve ever had?” Among the replies were the following six: 1.

“If new evidence presents itself, it’s OK to change my beliefs.” 2. “I get to choose who’s in my life and who isn’t.” 3. “I am not my history.” 4. “You can’t change something that has already happened, so stop worrying about it.” 5. “I am not, nor will I ever be, conventionally beautiful.” 6. “I don’t have to respond to people when they say stupid s--- to me.” I hope these testimonies inspire you to come up with several of your own, Taurus.

It’s a perfect time to formulate liberating intentions.

GEMINI May21–June20 It has been a while since I told you that I love you. So I’m doing it now. I love you. More than you could ever imagine. And that’s why I continue to offer these horoscopes to you free of charge, with no strings attached.

That’s why I work so hard to be a playful therapist and an edgy mentor for you. That’s why I am so tenacious in my efforts to serve you as a feminist father figure and a kindly devil’s advocate and a sacred cheerleader. Again, I don’t expect anything in return from you. But if you would like to express your appreciation, you could do so by offering a similar type of well-crafted care to people in your own sphere. Now would be an excellent time to give such gifts.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 “I like the word ‘bewilderment’ because it has both ‘be’ and ‘wild’ in it,” says poet Peter Gizzi. I propose that you go even further, Cancerian: Express a fondness for the actual experience of bewilderment as well as the word. In fact, be willing to not just tolerate, but actually embrace the fuzzy blessings of bewilderment. In the coming weeks, that’s your ticket to being wild in the healthiest (and wealthiest) ways. As you wander innocently through the perplexing mysteries that make themselves available, you’ll be inspired to escape formalities and needless rules that have kept you overly tame.

Are you familiar with psychologist Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow? It’s the unflattering or uncomfortable part of you that you would prefer to ignore or suppress.

It’s the source of behavior about which you later say, “I wasn’t acting like myself.” Jungians say that the shadow hounds you and wounds you to the degree that you refuse to deal with it. But if you negotiate with it, it leads you to beautiful surprises. It prods you to uncover riches you’ve hidden from yourself. I mention this, Leo, because any shadow work you do in the coming weeks could generate rather spectacular breakthroughs.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You could make a vow like this: “Between now and April 15, I will be relentless in getting my needs met. I will harbor a steely resolve to call on every ploy necessary to ensure that my deepest requirements are not just gratified, but satiated to the max. I will be a dogged and ferocious seeker of absolute fulfillment.” If you want to swear an oath like that, Virgo, I understand. But I hope you will try a softer approach—more like the following: “Between now and April 15, I will be imaginative and ingenious in getting my needs met. I will have fun calling on every trick necessary to ensure that my deepest requirements are playfully addressed. I will be a sweet seeker of unpredictable fulfillment.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I suspect you would benefit from acquiring a new bedroom name, my dear. But should I be the one to give it to you? I’m not sure. Maybe you could invite a practical dreamer you adore to provide you with this crazy sweet new moniker. If there is no such person to do the job (although given the current astrological omens, I bet there is), I’ll offer the following array of amorous aliases for you to choose from: Wild Face . . . Kiss Genius . . .

Thrill Witch . . . Freaky Nectar . . . Boink Master . . . Lust Moxie . . . Pearly Thunder . . . Peach Licker . . . Painkiller . . . Silky Bliss . . . Slippery Diver . . . Swoon Craver.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Soon I’ll be off on my first vacation in 18 months. At first glance it might seem odd for an astrologer like myself to have selected two Sagittarians to be my housesitters.

Members of your sign are reputed to be among the least home-nurturing people in the zodiac. But I’m confident that by the time I return, raccoons won’t be living in my kitchen, nor will my plants be dead or my snail mail stolen or my TV broken. The current astrological omens suggest that most of you Centaurs, at least for the foreseeable future, will display an uncommon aptitude for the domestic arts.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The near future will be mutable, whimsical, and fluky.

It’ll be serendipitous, mercurial and extemporaneous.

You should expect happy accidents and lucky breaks.

Your ability to improvise will be quite valuable. Do you believe in lucky numbers? Even if you don’t, yours will be 333. Your sacred password will be “quirky plucky.”

The cartoon characters with whom you will have most in common are Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner. The place where you’re most likely to encounter a crucial teaching is a threshold or thrift shop. Your colors of destiny will be flecked and dappled. (P.S.: I suspect that an as-yet-undiscovered talisman of power is crammed in a drawer full of junk.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Treat your body like a sublime temple, please. And regard your imagination as a treasured sanctuary. Be very choosy about what you allow to enter in to both of those holy places. This strategy is always a wise idea, of course, but it’s especially so now, when you are extra sensitive to the influences you absorb. It’s crucial that you express maximum discernment as you determine which foods, drinks, drugs, images, sounds, and ideas are likely to foster your maximum well-being—and which aren’t. Be a masterful caretaker of your health and sanity.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 What would your best mother do in a situation like this? Please note that I’m not asking, “What would your mother do?” I’m not suggesting you call on the counsel of your actual mother. When I use the term “your best mother,” I’m referring to the archetype of your perfect mother. Imagine a wise older woman who understands you telepathically, loves you unconditionally, and wants you to live your life according to your own inner necessity, not hers or anyone else’s. Visualize her. Call on her.

Seek her blessings.

FRIENDLY FIRE

CORRECTION

Strange that our new president is demonizing NATO and insulting our allies.

Shortly after 9/11, I saw a televised interview; it was a German pilot and his international crew describing the protective patrols that he and his team were flying over the Golden Gate Bridge. Our NATO allies were flying protective missions on the West Coast (and, I assume, on the East Coast, as well). Do we really want to disrespect our NATO alliances?

GT’s Feb. 8 story “Uncommon Ground” reported that Debora Wade filed a temporary restraining order against her neighbor Micah Posner.

It should have also reported that a judge threw the restraining order out and ordered Wade to pay $500 toward Posner’s legal fees. We regret the omission.

NEWS PLOTTING CITY’S GREEN SPACES New orchard in Mike Fox Park is latest push for local community gardens

BY CALVIN MEN

TRENDING NOW As social media increasingly becomes a tool for movements, activists will be eager to repeat

the success of #DeleteUber.

JERAMEY LANDEY / SHUTTERSTOCK, INC.

The Dawn of Apptivism #DeleteUber may be a tipping point for social media boycotts, but local drivers feel fallout BY ANDREA PATTON

L

ike a lot of people, I couldn’t pull myself away from my iPhone as new details about the fast-spreading #DeleteUber boycott came rolling in on Saturday, Jan. 28. Unlike most of those people though, the news hit especially close to home. Not just because, as an Uber driver in Santa Cruz, I knew I would be feeling the fallout financially, but also because as a fervent opponent of the current president, it was shocking and disorienting to suddenly find myself on the receiving end of anti-Trump protests.

In case you haven’t been following the story with the same obsessive

thumb scrolling, it all started when protesters swarmed airports that weekend to protest Trump’s executive order banning all travelers from seven Muslim countries—a ban later halted by Seattle federal judge James Robart after the state of Washington filed a lawsuit claiming it was unconstitutional. In a show of solidarity with those affected by the ban, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance announced they were halting all rides to and from JFK airport for an hour. An hour after the strike, Uber removed all surge pricing for rides to the airport, which critics saw as opportunistic (though Uber later claimed it was

done to make getting to and from the airport less expensive). One Twitter user, @Bro_Pair, drew attention to the announcement from Uber, giving rise to the rapidly trending hashtag #DeleteUber.

Within 24 hours, 200,000 Uber users deleted their accounts. While this may seem like a drop in the bucket compared to Uber’s 40 million active riders worldwide, it was a huge public relations blow to the company. It didn’t help Uber’s case among Trump protesters that footage of the company’s CEO Travis Kalanick meeting with the president as a member of his Economic Advisory Board had recently >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017

On a recent Saturday, local volunteers dug plots for a public orchard in Mike Fox Park, just off Riverside Avenue. The project is being spearheaded by the Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project (SCFTP), the organization that led the charge to install 12 trees inside Riverside Gardens Park years ago.

The new dig began with a modest 17 people, but grew quickly. Some volunteers came with thick gardening gloves, others brought their own shovels and wheelbarrows. Within the hour, more than 50 people were busy building gopher baskets and digging plots for saplings.

“We’re hoping that over the years, people from the community will come and learn to tend the orchard and take pride and ownership in the project,” says Debora Wade, one of the committee leaders for the project.

Wade and others also hope the orchard and garden will bear fruit to feed the public, saying vacant pieces of land can be better utilized as community gardens than plots for topiary plants. The new project is a result of the SCFTP’s previous success with the Riverside Gardens Park orchard.

Organizers worked with city officials to expand the idea, leading to the plan for Mike Fox Park.

Efforts to cultivate community gardens in Santa Cruz are in step with decades of community garden growth across the nation.

Los Angeles County boasts more than 125 gardens within its borders, and New York City’s five boroughs have more than 600 gardens. Officially, the city of Santa Cruz manages five gardens, according to the Parks Master Plan for 2030.

Residents digging the plots at the new orchard say they were drawn by the idea of community united around shared green spaces. Robert Markstein, a 60-year-old downtown Santa Cruz resident, admits he’s a terrible gardener, despite having several fruit trees in his own backyard. He credits the rich soil in Santa Cruz for whatever success he’s had, recalling an era when the city was more orchards than dense housing.

“If we live in an area where the >14

Of High Surf Advisories and Other Things

By Datta Khalsa, Broker Sitting down to write this month’s column, I look out the window at Verve downtown and think how similar the scene outside looks to Seattle or Portland, but maybe that’s just the smell of the coffee carrying me to distant lands in the Northwest.

Then again, with the record levels of rainfall we have had, with our rivers and reservoirs overflowing and road and power outages dominating our daily routine, I find myself getting homesick in my own town for the Santa Cruz we used to live in, back when all the talk was about the drought.

The impact has been just as dramatic along the coast, with trees down along West Cliff Drive and waves covering the road at Moran Lake as the sand recedes into the ocean and our beaches are covered in driftwood and other debris from this constant onslaught of storms that have hit the area.

The normal seaside images where surfers, junior guards and tourists play amidst the scenic beauty of the central coast have given way to a stormy scene where a few hardy souls and their dogs pick their way through the flotsam and jetsam, while others make random forts out of the pieces of wood and seaweed that have washed up on the beach.

But as the saying goes, where there is disruption there is also opportunity, and amidst these images of coastal turmoil, an unusually high number of ocean front homes are available for the adventuresome few who might want to take a look.

FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A quick scan of the MLS reveals no less than 11 ocean front homes currently on the market, compared to only 1 in escrow, and just 2 sales in the last 3 months (both in the $2.2-$2.3 Million range), which indicates a higher supply of sellers than buyers in this segment.

The current selection of front-row homes ranges from a 3-bedroom condo in Pleasure Point for $1,925,000 to a 7-bedroom estate in La Selva Beach for $13,888,888, so you could certainly say that the surf advisory isn’t the only thing that is high around here.

Then again, with the shelf life for these listings averaging 170 days on the market and counting, I have to think there may finally be some room for negotiation in the average asking price of $4.9 Million (or $1,687 per SF) to live on the sand or on the bluff.

The latest weather reports are predicting 10 days without rain once this current front has passed, making now perhaps the ideal time for anyone who has been on the fence to brave the elements and check out a few of these listings before things return back to Santa Cruz normal. And if you’re willing to settle for something a block or two away from the water, prices get exponentially more accessible.

In the meantime, as I glance back out at a fresh downpour pelting the cars and pedestrians passing by, I could also be tempted to say “put a bird on it” and call it good.

aired. In a blog post, Kalanick said that he would rather have a “seat at the table” so that he and other business leaders could propose reasonable policies to Trump.

Eventually, Kalanick announced that he was stepping down from Trump’s team, and he set up a $3 million legal fund to help drivers, many of whom are part of the immigrant community, with legal fees.

DRIVER DILEMMAS Some of the riders I had the first week after #DeleteUber trended seemed to be going through the same internal struggles that I was about being associated with Uber.

One friend paid me to drive her and her friends to dinner, and she took Lyft back.

Although rides were down, I still had my share of passengers. Eitan Seri-Levi, who ordered a ride for a responsible beer run, told me he had considered deleting his Uber app, but decided against it. He said that a few years ago, when he was a freshman at UCSC, there was no easy way to get around—yes, there were taxi cabs, but they were not as immediate as an app at your fingertips and a driver at your door in less than 10 minutes—so perhaps

a certain amount of brand loyalty played into his decision.

Another Santa Cruz resident who drives for Uber as a second job, and asked that her name not be used, told me she was also morally conflicted about #DeleteUber. She was furious that Kalanick had joined Trump’s advisory team, and she was ready to sign up to instead drive for Lyft, which has only recently arrived in Santa Cruz and doesn’t have a big enough rider population yet to make it financially viable for most drivers.

Nor is Lyft’s record squeaky clean in the eyes of many Trump opponents. While Lyft did donate $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union, it’s been criticized by the same activists who supported #DeleteUber for its ties to Carl Icahn. Matt Rosoff of CNBC wrote that, “Lyft financier Carl Icahn did a lot more than Kalanick to help get Trump elected.

He was an early and vocal supporter of Trump during the campaign, claiming that the businessman would be much better for the economy than Hillary Clinton, and Trump appointed Icahn as a special advisor on regulation in December.”

Personally, I have found my Uber gig to be a rewarding side hustle, although I wish it weren’t tainted with ethical scandals, and I’m not ruling out moving over to Lyft should that

become a better option. It is not my sole source of income, and it would be hard to earn enough to make a living if it were. It does provide me with some interesting encounters with locals and visitors, though, and there are many like me who are staying on and hope to push the company in a more progressive direction.

Uber has been dogged by other controversies in the past, including settling a highly publicized labor dispute with drivers who wanted to be recognized as employees rather than independent contractors.

The latest scandal came just last weekend, when an ex-Uber employee named Susan Fowler Rigetti published a blog post on Sunday, Feb. 19 that went viral, detailing a year of alleged sexual harassment by her manager.

Kalanick tweeted a link to her blog post with the comment, “What’s described here is abhorrent & against everything we believe in.

Anyone who behaves this way or thinks this is OK will be fired.”

Whether employees will be successful in changing the company’s ethics remains to be seen; however, it was employees at Uber headquarters in San Francisco who—noting that many Uber drivers are immigrants who will be harmed

by Trump’s policies—applied >15

NEWS BRIEFS MISSION QUEST At this point, most locals will immediately recognize Curtis Reliford’s white-and-red truck with a trailer in tow. Hand-painted signs along the sides, it can often be found blaring songs like “Love Train” and “A Change is Gonna Come” all through town, with Reliford wearing his trademark red shirt, overalls and a straw hat pretty much wherever he goes.

Since 2005, the Santa Cruz transplant has been trekking across the country for his Follow Your Heart Action Network, delivering food, clothing and

anything else he can load into his trailer. In the past 12 years, Reliford’s been on a constant road trip—a “journey of kindness,” as he calls it—visiting the Hopi Indian Reservation, victims of posthurricane flooding in his native Louisiana and, most recently, the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

Reliford will host a two-hour discussion on Sunday, March 5 at the Peace United Church with Spotted Elk, who joined Reliford on his last trip to Standing Rock, a journey that took four days of driving across seven states.

Armed with warm clothes, the

two men brought supplies to help the “water protectors” camped out on the front lines to try to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.

His “missions of love” first began shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and left Reliford feeling compelled to help his brothers and sisters stuck in flooded communities with no food, water or power. During that time, he made 13 trips, delivering 8 tons of donations.

“I didn’t like the way the government was treating [New Orleans’ citizens],” he remembers. “So it was a heartdriven, adrenaline rush and

wake-up call for me.”

Since then, he has delivered truckloads more of food, clothes, toys, bikes and home goods.

Reliford will pick a destination and gather as much as he can through donations to Follow Your Heart Action, his 501c3. Reliford also brings whatever extra food, clothing and children’s toys he has to migrant workers in Watsonville and Monterey counties.

Curtis Reliford and Spotted Elk’s free discussion is at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 5 at Peace United Church. For more information, visit followyourheartactionnetwork. com. MAT WEIR

TRUNK FULL OF PROMISE Leaders of the Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project gathered with community members to plant an orchard on Saturday, Feb. 4, at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and San Lorenzo Boulevard.

GREEN SPACES <11 soil is so fertile that all you have to do is plant trees and they’ll grow, then why are we not doing that so everyone can have access to food?” asks Markstein.

But the push for community garden spaces has had its setbacks, as well. The Beach Flats Community Garden, a stone’s throw away from the new orchard, has been at the center of controversy in recent years. In 2015, the Seaside Company, which owns the land, opted not to renew the city’s lease on the plot of land. That prompted outrage from residents, which

pushed the Seaside Company to preserve 60 percent of the garden through a three-year lease. It left the door open for the company and the city to discuss and negotiate the garden’s future.

In a discussion of the Parks Master Plan on Feb. 7, Santa Cruz City Manager Martín Bernal said the city would discuss keeping the garden on the existing site permanently. Officials are also surveying the neighborhood for alternative sites.

Seaside Spokesperson Kris Reyes said there were no current negotiations happening but reiterated the company’s commitment to working with the city.

“As you may recall, the city has committed to finding a permanent solution to this issue, and we look forward to hearing from them regarding their ideas on how to achieve this goal in the future,” Reyes said in an email.

The city’s search for a solution to the Beach Flats dispute reflects the growing sense that it’s amenable to greener practices. Drew Glover, founder and director of the organization Project Pollinate, said the city recognizes and is beginning to support organic gardening and food justice.

But Glover points out that the community garden spaces aren’t limited

to efforts from the city. Project Pollinate is partnering with community organizations to create pollinator gardens for bees, monarch butterflies and other animals.

Beyond benefitting the animals, the gardens are spaces for residents to learn about best gardening practices and for marginalized communities to access organic produce, Glover said.

“I hope the city makes it a point in the Parks Master Plan to incorporate language and plans to direct city planners to implement large plots of land as organic gardens and orchards,” Glover says.

The Santa Cruz Uber driver I spoke to is also an activist, and felt that whatever the setback to her bottom line, she was happy to see that #DeleteUber seemed to send a message that people are ready to use the power of their money to affect change.

Leslie Lopez, director of Oakes’ CARA (Community-based Action Research and Advocacy) program at UCSC, agrees.

“There are a lot of people who have never thought about politics who are waking up right now and wondering what they can do to resist and change this administration,” she told GT in an email. “They are going to use social media to stand up and be counted, or connect with other people, to learn more, to do more.”

Lopez says #DeleteUber showed Trim: W: 2” x H: 6.5” how effective “apptivism” can be, because it required just a few thumb strokes to contribute to an action that had an immense impact, with little risk to the participants. Nor is it the only example of social media’s fast-growing power; after all, the Women’s March movement that drew millions to action in cities around the world grew out of a simple Facebook post by a woman in Hawaii. In addition to the historically large turnout at the marches, there are now 1,297,955 Instagram photos with the hashtag #WomensMarch for people to scroll through and connect with other participants. Hashtag activism has quickly become a useful way to bring like-minded people together. “#DeleteUber, #DivestWellsFargo, calls for boycott, walkout, general strike, etc. These are all exciting,” Lopez writes. “I think we are going to see more ‘lightning actions’ like #DeleteUber, because once people figure out how easy and effective it is, they’ll be really creative in figuring out what else to do.”

JOIN US IN SUPPORTING A TRAIL-ONLY OPTION FOR THE COASTAL CORRIDOR

We supported Measure D and are delighted we are now a Self-Help County and have the money to improve our transportation systems. We want to spend our tax dollars from Measure D most effectively to GET PEOPLE MOVING NOW. We have completed an independent study of a Trail-Only option for the Coastal Corridor. The study was done by Nelson Nygaard, an internationally recognized transportation consulting firm (www.nelsonnygaard.com).

You can read it for yourself here: www.greatsantacruztrail.com WE BELIEVE, AFTER EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH OF ALL OPTIONS, THAT THE TRAIL-ONLY DESIGN IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT GETS THE MOST PEOPLE MOVING AT A COST OUR COMMUNITY CAN AFFORD. WHY? • The Trail-Only scenario is projected to move 6,105 bicyclists and 7,462 pedestrians daily compared to 2,750 roundtrips for passenger rail for about 10% of the cost of the Rail-withTrail plans.

FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

• There are numerous and costly design constraints for any rail option, which includes 22 trestles as well as sloughs, steep embankments, sensitive habitats and lots of trees. Segment 7, the FIRST segment being built in Santa Cruz, has come in at DOUBLE the budgeted cost.

16

• There is a substantial difference in the user experience between walking and bicycling adjacent to an active train versus the TrailOnly approach. The Trail-Only design receives grades of A’s and B’s and the Rail-with-Trail plan receives E’s and F’s.

Trail-Only separates bikes and pedestrians whereas Rail-with-Trail does not. Railwith-Trail also forgoes forever the beauty, tranquility and emission-free outcomes of a Trail-Only approach.

• Countless examples from other communities nationwide show the popularity and wisdom of public investments in pedestrian and bike friendly infrastructure. Over 90% of rail corridors nationwide have been converted to Trail-Only.

• There is an option to preserve the right-ofway for use by future transit technologies. It’s called Rail Banking and many communities nationwide use it.

You will hear many myths about why we can’t do this. Here are some of the most common myths: MYTH #1: A train will dramatically relieve congestion on Hwy 1.

FALSE. Of 100,000 cars on Hwy 1 each day, the RTC’s own study shows only 2,750 daily roundtrips by train, of which only 300 are Watsonville to Santa Cruz commuters.

MYTH #2: We can only build a narrow trail next to the tracks in order to preserve the option for future passenger rail service.

FALSE. Railbanking the corridor preserves future transit options. Let’s use the entire corridor for the next 20 years while we see what future transportation technologies evolve.

MYTH #3: A train is the only way to serve low income or disabled residents.

FALSE. Trains are one of the most costly and least reliable ways to serve the transportation needs of low income and disabled residents. Better options include expanded METRO and Lift Line services, taxi, Lyft and Uber vouchers and free bus passes.

MYTH #4: The trail portion of the Rail-with-Trail plan is one CONTIGUOUS trail.

FALSE. The trail will have to go onto streets or have some other workaround at many trestles and other impediments. It is NOT one contiguous trail due to the need to accommodate a train. And we know that Santa Cruz is the 2nd least safe of 58 counties in CA to ride bikes on the street.

MYTH #5: We will likely get federal and state money to pay for a train.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY. Due to our low county population and forecasted ridership, we will rank low in securing competitive federal and state grants. And any annual subsidies, currently projected at $9M per year, will come from taxpayers in the form of ANOTHER sales tax.

MYTH #6: We purchased the rail corridor with Prop 116 state money, and thus are obligated to implement a train.

FALSE. We can return the $10.2M of Prop 116 funds to the CA Transportation Commission (CTC) and save $600M over 30 years by not building, operating and subsidizing a train that few people will ride.

MYTH #7: You hate trains.

FALSE. We love trains! We travel by trains. We like Roaring Camp RR. Trains are great— when they make sense.

MYTH #8: It’s too hard—there are too many contracts to change.

FALSE. All it takes is political will.

So, why wait for 20 years and spend millions of dollars “studying” these “options” when we can easily look at the data today and make an informed decision?

Write to your city councilpersons and county supervisors and tell them clearly that the large majority of voters want “a wide, beautifully landscaped, and completely off-street multi-use trail running from Davenport to Watsonville.”

BOARDED UP Sarah Gerhardt, the first

Sarah Gerhardt, the first woman to ever surf Mavericks, on this year’s cancelled contest and the thrill of big waves BY JACOB PIERCE

F

It was a blow to Mavericks fans, and this landmark in women’s surfing will have to wait one more year, at least.

Until then, Gerhardt, who has two children, will keep shredding. She spoke to GT about her history with the event, and her life in surfing.

How long have you been surfing?

SG: It will be 30 years next year, a long time. And I surfed Mavericks for the first time 18 years ago, so it’s been a while.

What’s that first ride like?

Incredibly different than the first ride at Waimea or Sunset that I had surfed before, just because the place is so intimidating. Every single wave out there is so powerful. Every single wave out there can break you. It’s pretty cold, and the rocks are not friendly, and the sea life is not friendly.

I was definitely very intimidated by the surf spot. I had gone out twice before and not caught waves—just sat and watched it. So that first wave was really, really magical and amazing. It was amazing how long the drop was.

Usually, you drop in one second and it’s over. I dropped in—one, two, three, four.

Then I got to the bottom. It’s like a roller coaster ride, you know?

Does your stomach go into your throat a little bit?

That happens more before you go over the wave. You know when you’re driving

and you go over a little bump, and you get a sense of weightlessness? There’s that sensation right around the 30 seconds before you catch the wave, and then it’s over so fast. It’s not a very long time on the wave. It’s more like, “OK, I’m doing it, I’m doing it.” You get an adrenaline sensation before riding the wave, and then right at the drop-in at that critical time, when you’re making that commitment. And then on the ride, you’re thinking, “Let’s get it done.”

How cold is it at Mavericks? Is it much different from Santa Cruz’s waters?

Yeah, Santa Cruz will be in the 50s to 55 in the winter. But I’ve surfed Mavericks at 49 degrees, maybe even 48, so every degree feels like five degrees colder. 50 is freezing. It’s really cold.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017

rigid waters. Jagged, tooth-like rocks. Great white sharks. And a punishing swell that folds in half, willing and able to crush anything in its way.

When they break, the waves at Mavericks look like nice, average-sized surf—from the shore. But that’s really only because, at 2 miles out, the action is a lot farther away than it looks. With its waves occasionally topping out at more than 60 feet, this break is anything but average.

For years, the famed surf spot was a boys’ club of big-wave surfers, slowly expanding to friends of friends who were brave enough to step up to the challenge. The first woman to ride it was Santa Cruz’s Sarah Gerhardt in 1999.

Fans of Gerhardt, who now serves as chemistry department chair at Monterey Peninsula College, were excited to see her announce that she would compete in this year’s Titans of Mavericks contest, along with five other women—thanks to a decision from the California Coastal Commission that it needed to diversify the contest in order to receive its permit. This season marked the first time women were invited to the contest, which has happened in various forms over the last 18 years. Unfortunately, board members officially cancelled this year’s contest, one week after Red Bull—the event’s broadcaster and only sponsor—filed suit against its management groups for breach of contract.

What’s your favorite big wave anywhere?

Pico Alto’s pretty amazing. My husband and I surfed there in Peru. That was rad.

In terms of quality and length of ride, Mavericks is probably it. I’ve surfed all along the North Shore and Outside Alligators and Outside Lost Cabin.

What do you think of this winter’s waves? There have been some massive swells the past couple months, but a lot of the days have been choppy.

It started out as a really amazing winter.

It started late. The first Mavericks

swells weren’t ’til November. But then it broke 12 consecutive days, and it hasn’t done that since the 1997-’98 winter, which was an El Niño. November was incredible.

December started to fall apart, except for two really good days, and then the whole contest controversy happened right after that. Everyone was asking, ‘Why wasn’t the contest held?’ The contest could have been held on multiple days this season so far. It hasn’t been a terrible season.

Yeah, some of us casual fans of Mavericks wondered why the contest wasn’t happening. Then news reports came out about the lawsuit and that it was essentially canceled for this year. Did you find out about all of this the same way we did?

I was definitely wondering. I felt very suspicious about the event not happening when it wasn’t held in November and certainly when they didn’t a couple weeks ago. Definitely.

How does it feel knowing that this landmark event for women’s surfing won’t happen this year after all?

I was really excited for all of the other women. For me personally, I have a job. For me, surfing isn’t it—it’s not my job. I still surf big waves, but it’s not going to be my future. But it’s really disappointing for the women who are pursuing surfing as a career.

This is a huge disappointment. I hope for their sake and the sake of all of the competitors that

the WSL [World Surfing League] will pick it up. I know they’ve applied for the permit before, and they were denied the permit. If they could pick it up and it were part of the big-wave tour next year, that would be fantastic and hopefully have the stability that it needs because the Mavericks contest has had a bunch of different sponsors, but it hasn’t had stability.

Obviously none of us know what happened, but it always seemed challenging to make Mavericks a bigger festival, with music and everything, when it can be called at a moment’s notice and might not happen every year.

All of the big-wave contests have

a waiting period. And the only other paddle that’s independent would be the event at Cowell. And Quiksilver was the first to sponsor Mavericks. Quiksilver, as a surf industry sponsor, made a lot of sense. But Cartel as a management company, without being able to pull in major sponsorship, didn’t make sense. They didn’t have a major sponsor. And that’s really important. The advantage to having a long waiting period is that it’s tons of advertisement. You get two to three months of putting it out there—hey, the event might run!—piquing people’s interests. So from a marketing perspective, it’s probably not that bad. But Cartel didn’t have a major sponsor. How are they going to pay for it?

FLIGHT RISK In addition to inventing the wetsuit, surfing legend Jack O’Neill experimented with a wild line of airships.

Pretty Fly for a Surf Guy

The little-known history of surf legend Jack O’Neill’s aerial experiments BY JACOB PIERCE

L

aid out in black-and-white panels, it’s all there on a concrete wall along the Dream Inn near the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf—the history of the O’Neill surf company, which is also the history of local surf culture from 1959 on.

The porcelain-on-steel mural follows the life of Jack O’Neill, wetsuit inventor and surfing mogul, explains O’Neill marketing vice president Brian Kilpatrick, all through a picturesque photo history that’s nearly without blemish.

“What is that?” says Kilpatrick, digging his thumb into a graffiti tag on a blown-up photo of Cowell Beach that O’Neill took for Surfer magazine.

“Why would someone do that? Dang.”

The series of images show a Santa Cruz coming of age. They tell the story

of O’Neill’s young sons, Pat and Mike, sharing a makeshift skateboard—just a couple of disassembled roller skates nailed to a two-by-four—and carving down the hill. There’s one image of O’Neill, who ran a surf shop where the hotel is now, grinning ear-to-ear as he pushes a small boat with three Miss California contestants out for a quick sail.

Other shots display a side of him that’s bold, adventurous and whimsical—bordering almost on reckless.

“He was one of the first guys to fly hot air balloons in North America,” Kilpatrick says.

There were several incarnations of his aircraft, but in the beginning, O’Neill, a pilot in the Navy Reserves during World War II, would launch his hot air balloon from a catamaran,

the Sea Odyssey—which today serves as an educational boat for kids’ field trips.

“His experimentation with that airship thing—when I see some of that stuff, I think, ‘Holy shit, he’s like a thousand feet up in there with a spinning blade behind him, with a little gas-powered lawnmower engine. Sketchy—the thing’s lighting on fire, you know what I mean?” says Kilpatrick, who’s dressed head-to-toe in black, from his sunglasses to his shoes. “No one was launching hot air balloons off of giant catamarans.”

Over the decades, the contraption evolved into more of an airship, rather like a one-man Goodyear blimp. O’Neill, who’s now 94, would take off from a beach in Santa Cruz, sometimes Twin Lakes, and try to make it to Monterey on prevailing

northwest winds. The trouble was that prevailing southwest winds would kick up in the evening and blow him back toward the middle of the bay. Luckily, O’Neill had by this point invented the super suit, so when he ran out of fuel a few miles off the coast from Moss Landing and landed in the water, he could blow into his suit and inflate it, until the neoprene outfit looked like a giant balloon animal.

“He could blow it up and float in the kelp beds and float all night—or however long it took for his kids to pick him up. He was testing product, and pioneering adventure over the high seas,” says Kilpatrick, who’s worked for the company for 18 years.

Pat, who’s now CEO, and his siblings would head out in a motor boat to pick up their dad in the middle of the bay.

Beside the mural, which was installed nearly four years ago, is a plaque recognizing the site of the old Surf Shop Santa Cruz, now the site of the Dream Inn. Inside the hotel’s Aquarius restaurant is the Jack O’Neill Lounge—a bar with pictures of the icon, a prototype wetsuit and some of his favorite boards.

O’Neill secured a trademark for the term “surf shop,” something he never cared to enforce because it seemed like too much hassle. Nor did he ever show interest in selling his aircraft innovations.

But on the days that he took flight over the bay, his airship functioned as a unique advertisement, as it had the company logo and “O’Neill” in giant letters along the sides.

“His adventurous spirit courses through everything he does. I don’t think he was looking to market it. I think he was seeing it as a marketing tool, because there’s branding on the side of that thing, and you can’t miss it,” Kilpatrick says.

O’Neill knew that the sky was a good place to catch people’s eyes.

He’d already had a business, after the war ended, flying advertising banners behind airplanes.

Kilpatrick says people have asked O’Neill “Why would you do something like that that?”

“He just says, ‘Why not? Because it hasn’t been done. Because I can.’”

areas—something locals are eager to see. “It provides a needed green space,” Mucha says.

The approach mirrors one that Save the Waves uses around the world, including in Santa Cruz, where the nonprofit has worked with city engineers to cut bacteria by 50 percent at Cowell Beach last summer, compared to the previous year. In Huanchaco, Peru, Mucha and his colleagues are working with residents to see what locals want from their newly protected surfing reserve there—something the nonprofit helped establish.

On the west coast of Ireland, Save the Waves fought an attempt from none other than Trump International Golf Links to build a seawall, garnering coverage from the New York Times and the Washington Post.

“Not only would it be detrimental to the surfing community, but to the ecological community, as well,” Mucha says. “There’s a lot of evidence that those seawalls narrow the beach in the short term. Why would anyone want to makes their beach disappear, just for a golf course?”

lush ecosystem thrives on either side of Mexico’s San Miguel River, feeding into a beach that surfers cherish.

“The sand is really critical for bringing a wave dynamic that’s been legendary for generations in the northern part of Baja,” says Nick Mucha, programs director for Save the Waves, a nonprofit based in Santa Cruz.

Companies there have been illegally sand mining along the coast and dumping into the pristine river, prompting Save the Waves to lead a charge to create the Arroyo San Miguel State Park, which would be the first state park in Baja.

“It’s really impactful to an area that doesn’t have protections,” Mucha says, “and the creek provides drinking water to 400 local residents.”

Mucha has been working with locals and government officials to see the process through. If approved in the coming months, the state park will protect 140 acres, providing hiking trails, biking trails and picnic

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

YWCA of Watsonville When Leticia Mendoza stepped into her role as Executive Director of the YWCA of Watsonville in 2009, she inherited a chunk of debt with no source of funds to repay it. The debt was in the form of a loan that the Watsonville chapter of the YWCA owed to Santa Cruz Community Credit Union for a failed project that would not be generating the hoped-for revenue that was once envisioned.

“All that SCCCU does to support nonprofit organizations, plus low-income families and small businesses inspired me,” says Mendoza. “In our case, the Credit Union restructured our loan by doubling the loan repayment period so it became a manageable expense.”

Eighty percent of the Watsonville YWCA’s work is to provide early education services. They operate at full capacity—96 preschool children—in one downtown location that is convenient for many working parents. This service is provided free of charge to low-income families,

The preschool center is open 225 days a year, and all sessions are 3.5 hours. Most parents need full-time child care, but are grateful to be one of the fortunate few to receive the benefits. The SCCCU has been able to be of special support because they receive grants for specific needs. In the case of the YWCA, the Credit Union had a grant for child care providers.

The YWCA of Watsonville also has an after-school teen program at Pajaro Middle School that addresses teen pregnancy prevention and provides education about gender norms. Most students are referred by counselors and teachers who identify at-risk students, and though the program is optional, it has grown to 40 girls per session. In fact, a number of girls who participated in the program when they were younger have returned as mentors.

As funding is limited, the program depends on volunteers, and these young women are important leaders.

The innovative teen program curriculum was introduced four years ago via a

partnership with a Washington DC-based nonprofit, TrueChild. Their staff trained the local staff at the YWCA to integrate both curricula—teen pregnancy and gender norm education.

All local YWCA chapters are required to be a member of the national YWCA. A key mission is to eliminate racism and empower women, though each chapter offers different services, depending on the needs of the community. Some focus on shelters; others primarily serve veterans; and others offer tech education for girls.

Mendoza explains that some services aren’t needed in Watsonville because the role is filled by other nonprofit organizations.

“We aren’t here to compete with other nonprofits,” said Mendoza. “We are here to fill needed services and to collaborate with other agencies to enhance services we provide. We see the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union as a partner in the work we do.”

YWCA USA Mission Statement: The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Tandy Beal on the secret to kid-friendly shows and her new Family Concert Series BY STEVE PALOPOLI

Moscow Circus in Japan. She did learn a lot about entertaining kids, but perhaps just as important is what she learned about entertaining their parents.

“When I was directing the Pickles, what always interested me was, ‘How do you make humor for two

totally different age groups?’” says Beal. “What I would love when I’d stand at the back of the theater is I’d hear laughs coming at different times—you know, this is the kid laugh, this is the adult laugh, this is everybody’s laugh.”

Though most of us have probably

never stopped to think about it, this is exactly what defines all of the best kids’ entertainment, from the Muppets to Pixar movies to the poems of Jack Prelutsky. It has to work on two levels, for kids and adults—but to be truly great, it has to have a third, shared level as well.

“One of the things I try to look for in the artists that we bring in is that they can speak on two levels, to adults and also to children.” -TANDY BEAL

“And often the best artists perform with each other. For example, Bryan Dyer, I’ve known him through SoVoSo for years. But then he came in and sang with Linda Tillery’s Cultural Heritage Choir, and he came in and did percussion and singing with Keith Terry a different time.”

The series emphasizes interactivity and education folded into high-energy entertainment.

This weekend’s featured group, Ka-Hon, includes musicians from Brazil, Mexico and Peru, and is dedicated to demonstrating the range of world beats that can be played on a simple wooden box known as a cajón. Rago teaches the traditions of Venezuelan music through the Venezuelan Music Project, while also performing in Bay Area groups. And the “Magic Carpet” show will feature groups representing a range of cultures, including the thunderous drums of Watsonville Taiko; Corazon en Flor presenting Baile Folklorico from Jalisco, Mexico; Roots of Brazil; and more. This is an internationalist series for an isolationist era.

“I’ve been trying to bring in world art for the kids,” says Beal. “With where we are in the country right now, it’s all the more important that we see the beauty and value of world cultures other than our own—and what it is that’s making up our own.”

The ArtSmart Family Concerts series begins on Saturday, Feb. 25, with a performance by Ka-Hon at 2 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building, 846 Front St., Santa Cruz. Early discounted tickets for all three concerts in the series are still available through tandybeal.com.

Beal has brought the search for that powerful triad to this year’s third annual series of ArtSmart concerts, which kicks off this weekend with Saturday’s performance by Latin percussion ensemble Ka-Hon. It continues March 18 with the Venezuelan Music Project’s Jackeline Rago, and wraps up April 22 with the “Magic Carpet” show that will feature several groups showing off rhythms from around the world. All performances are at 2 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Santa Cruz.

“One of the things I try to look for in the artists that we bring in is that they can speak on two levels, to adults and also to children,” says Beal. It’s led her company to jokingly advertise the shows as “an opportunity for children to bring their parents and their grandparents to something.”

“The family may be thinking they’re doing it for their kids, but actually if the show does it right, then it’s for everybody,” says Beal.

It’s not easy to find talent that’s up to those standards, but it helps that Beal and her husband Jon Scoville have been performing, producing shows and bringing music to area schools for years. For instance, last year’s ArtSmart series featured percussionist Keith Terry, who Beal first hired for the Pickle Family Circus years ago. Terry, in turn, led her to one of this year’s artists, Rago.

“I actually met Jackie when she was performing with Keith, maybe 10, 15 years ago, and I never forgot her. I went, ‘Oh my god!’ She did this incredible thing with a Venezuelan instrument called quitiplas. It’s just wonderful. So people stay on your radar through the years,” she says.

NorCal weather inspires Moon Duo’s new concept albums BY AARON CARNES

F

or Sanae Yamada—one half of psychedelic rockers Moon Duo, along with Ripley Johnson—the most surreal aspect of relocating from the Bay Area to Portland a few years back was the difference in seasons.

Portland’s were pronounced, but she had barely noticed the cyclical shifts in San Francisco. Over time, her memories of Northern California became more difficult to place in time, because there weren’t weather clues attached to them.

This realization, in part, inspired the group’s most ambitious project to date: a two-album exploration of

the hidden energies in our universe.

It’s kind of about weather, but it’s also about the unseen spiritual energies that guide our world. The album is divided into the dark (Occult Architecture Vol. 1, released this month) and light (Occult Architecture Vol. 2 comes out later this year).

“It wasn’t like we sat down and were like ‘let’s make a record about the seasons,’ but removing myself from the context of the seasons gave totally different qualities to my memories,” Yamada says. “It was more the binary aspects of things that we were talking about—the existence of opposites that contrast

each other, at the same time define each other, and make up this whole.”

In a way, the concept of the record isn’t different than anything the group has done on its previous three LPs. What is different is the size and scope of the project—the two albums were made back-to-back to give them the feel of a single project. Going into it, they didn’t know if it would even work.

“It’s a very daunting concept to take on. I don’t by any means think that we covered it. We just opened a few doors, I guess,” Yamada says.

“I think that the investigation of the cycles and the patterns and structures that make up our reality,

matter and consciousness and all of those have been an enduring fascination for both of us.”

The first record, which is supposed to represent darkness, doesn’t sound how one might imagine it would. It features fastdriving, precise playing; a heavy dose of New Wave synth offset by guitar parts. The vocals are different than any previous Moon Duo album—it sounds like singer/ guitarist Johnson is in a trance. It’s squashed, almost expressionless.

Yamada explains to me that the intention wasn’t to make a dark album in the sense of something evil or drowning in sadness. The word that stuck out for them when they made the album was “claustrophobic.” Yamada achieved this texture by using exclusively synthesizers (i.e., no organs), and keying in sounds that had “a lot of growling sounds and gurgling sounds, little sharp stabbing textures.” She was thinking about a cave space, she says, like liquid bubbling up from the ground. The vocals were recorded normally, but were mixed in a way that gave them the compressed sound.

The upcoming second album has no such effects applied to the vocals. The most important thing was for it to sound expansive and summer-y. Yamada still only used synths, but this time she applied a different sound palette. “I tried to make more sugary sounds, like granular floating textures,” she says. “Like dust in the air.”

Sheer ambition of the project aside, the most remarkable thing about this pair of records may be the way it has expanded the group’s sound beyond the confines of the psych rock genre they are most often associated with.

“We definitely get labeled psychedelic, which I actually don’t mind so much, in that the term itself is a pretty expansive term. I think a lot of things could fit under the heading,” says Yamada. “But I think in its current iteration, there’s definitely a fairly identifiable sound that goes along with it that we don’t necessarily fit that well.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND AL FRISBY

Anyone who waltzes into Aptos St. BBQ might just get a lesson in American roots music—if, that is, they see Al Frisby, who performs there every Wednesday. Frisby moved to Santa Cruz from the South in the ’90s, and has been performing ever since.

FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Some people know him for the satirical comedy songs he’s written, but at Aptos St. BBQ, he plays strictly old, pre-blues American roots songs. He does it on upwards of 15 instruments, one after another, from banjo and accordion to various guitars, and shakers he hands out to children. Some aren’t even instruments, technically, like a plastic bag used for percussion.

36

“I surround myself with a big arsenal of instruments,” says Frisby. “I’m very grateful for places that employ me that see there’s magic in supporting this old type of music. They could just hire a guy that’s playing Eagles songs.

A couple riffs off of ‘Hotel California’ would probably get you more claps than I’ve got in my whole career.”

Frisby is the right man for this music.

He didn’t discover it one day—he’s been surrounded by it his entire life.

In fact, he didn’t originally set out to be a musician—he was quite content being a boatmaker. When he realized his gift for instrumentation, and his encyclopedic knowledge of obscure folk songs, he decided it was up to him to bring this music to the people.

“A lot of these songs that I’m doing, you’re not going to find anybody else playing them. These are the crème de la crème of the whole folk movement,” Frisby says. AARON CARNES INFO: 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 25. Aptos St. BBQ, 8059 Aptos St., Aptos. Free. 662-1721.

WEDNESDAY 2/22 EXPERIMENTAL

BADBADNOTGOOD A trio of nerdy jazz kids geeking out on hip-hop doesn’t exactly scream “winning recipe for band.” At least, that’s what a panel of music instructors thought when Canadian three-piece BadBadNotGood submitted some jazz renditions of Odd Future songs for a college project. As fate would have it, Odd Future ringleader Tyler, the Creator felt differently. He helped make the group indie darlings after hearing some of these tunes. With the later addition of a sax player, the four-piece has managed to experiment its way through some of the most fascinating genre-anarchistic pieces to come from just about any young band working these days. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

THURSDAY 2/23 JAZZ

MIGUEL ZENON As a founding member of the SFJazz Collective, MacArthur “Genius” Fellow

Miguel Zenon has spent a good deal of time in the Bay Area over the past decade. But the Puerto Rican alto saxophonist and composer doesn’t often get a chance to perform out with his blazing New York band. Featuring Venezuelan pianist Luis Perdomo, Austrian bassist Hans Glawischnig, and Puerto Rican drummer Henry Cole, the ensemble has mastered Zenon’s buoyant mélange of folkloric Puerto Rican forms and postbop vocabulary. While he’s focused on big-concept multimedia projects in recent years, Zenon designed his stellar new album Tipico as a showcase for his prodigious bandmates. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

REGGAE/WORLD

J BOOG Jerry “J Boog” Afemata, a reggae singer of Samoan descent, was born in Long Beach and raised in Compton, California. Steeped in Samoan culture and as the son of a Samoan chief, Afemata was nicknamed “Boog” by his siblings because he could never sit still for long. The artist has shuffled back and forth most of his life, living and traveling between Hawaii and California nonstop since the release

of his debut album Hear Me Roar in 2007. He’ll be sharing the stage with Bob Marley’s 23-year-old grandson Jo Mersa Marley, as well as Jemere Morgan and Westafa. KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $30/adv, $35/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 2/24 SOUL

SOUNDCHECK One reason small clubs exist is that all big, mind-blowing bands start out as small, not-quite-blowing-yourmind-yet groups. Soul Journey Ent. is a local organization committed to fostering the talents of Santa Cruz’s untapped, soulful talents, and Soundcheck is the culmination of those efforts. The groups performing at Soundcheck run the gamut from soul to funk to hip-hop to reggaetón. The event features Mark London (solo debut), DJ Monk Early, Play P and the Prince, and 2 Fly Music Grp. Keeping the evening flowing is funnyman MC Mean Dean, who’ll be playing master of ceremony. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-6994.

A lively take on the jigs and marches played by African-American bands in the late 19th century, ragtime served as a high-energy, syncopated bridge between John Philip Sousa and the dawn of jazz. The Santa Cruz Ragtime Festival celebrates all things ragtime, including its favorite son, Scott Joplin, with a multi-venue, multi-genre event showcasing the area’s stylists working to bring the once-beloved sound back into popularity. This year’s lineup features Elliott Adams, Ramona Baker, Andrew Barrett, Michael Chisholm, Danny Coots, Kylan DeGhetaldi and many more, and takes place at spots throughout Santa Cruz, including Calvary Church and Parish Hall, Lúpulo Craft Beer House, Woodstock’s Pizza, and the sidewalks of Pacific Avenue. CJ

At the inaugural Santa Cruz American Music Festival in 2015, Bonnie Raitt did what she does best: play rock and blues jams; tell stories about legendary artists she’s worked with throughout her career; shred her guitar as only the best blues women can; and win over fans again and again with her humor and humility. The standout moment came during her hit song, “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” a weeper about lost love. Raitt brought the largely-beer-fueled crowd to a hush and left them hanging on every heartbroken word she sang. It was grace, beauty and pain personified. CJ

culture. An audience favorite in the Bay Area, La Misa Negra boasts an irresistible rhythm section, ace horns, unforgettable accordion work and relentless groove-ability. If you’re in the mood to sweat your worries away and celebrate the beauty and power of cultural and musical fusion, don’t sleep on this one. CJ

Local band Molly’s Revenge has brought its unique brand of traditional Irish music to audiences in Santa Cruz and beyond for exactly 17 years this St. Patrick’s Day. A beloved act that’s working to keep Irish music alive and well, the band regularly joins forces with the Rosemary Turco Irish Dancers to create unforgettable, high-flying performances. As original member David Brewer told GT last year, the group “blasts high-energy Celtic dance music in a really lively and entertaining way.” On March 17, the show comes to Felton. Come early for corned beef and cabbage.

FILM and formidable career should sway Academy voters. (She’d get my vote.)

Natalie Portman (Jackie), Ruth Negga (Loving), and annual nominee Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins) round out the category.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Mahershala Ali, Moonlight. This may be the Academy’s one chance to honor this much-nominated film, and Ali (my favorite) grounds the movie with his solid, charismatic presence.

Upset candidate might be Dev Patel (so appealing in Lion), or maybe even the much-beloved Jeff Bridges (Hell or High Water), over Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) and Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals).

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Viola

Davis, Fences. She’s already won all other awards in this category, and she’ll persist over a very strong field: Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea), Naomie Harris (Moonlight), Nicole Kidman (Lion), and Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures).

BEST SCRIPT (ORIGINAL)

HOLLYWOOD TALE Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in ‘La La Land,’ which our film reviewer predicts may take Best Picture,

Best Director, and perhaps a few other awards in this year’s Oscars.

Cinema Scope FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Variety, diversity highlight this year’s Oscar race

42

T

he Oscars are almost upon us; time for my yearly attempt to pretend I know anything about what Hollywood is thinking.

After last year’s #OscarsSoWhite kerfuffle, every acting category this year features at least one person of color, and four out of the nine Best Picture nominees revolve around nonwhite-bread protagonists. Let’s hope it’s not a temporary reaction, but a genuine trend toward equality and diversity. (Not to mention resistance to the current political climate.)

Let’s take a look at who may go home with the gold:

BEST PICTURE La La Land. Damien Chazelle’s reinvented musical comedy

is the one to beat, having already cleaned up at the pre-Oscar awards.

Process out the four nominees that didn’t win nods for their directors, and it’s a five-movie race, including Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea. I’d be just as happy if either of these last two won, but I loved La La Land, too.

BEST DIRECTOR Damien Chazelle, La La Land. He’s already been anointed by the DGA, an almost sure-fire precursor to Oscar gold.

If it were up to me, I’d split the award between Chazelle—for the sheer audacity of getting a movie musical made at all—and Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) for such a smart and precise look at contemporary

BY LISA JENSEN

black lives told in such an original, unexpected way.

BEST ACTOR Casey Affleck,

Manchester by the Sea. He doesn’t say much, but he’s definitely got the buzz at the center of this haunting drama. Perennial contender Denzel Washington (Fences) already has two Oscars; Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge) is the also-ran.

BEST ACTRESS Isabelle Huppert,

Elle. Emma Stone (La La Land) may have some buzz, but in the pre-season accolades she’s won, she wasn’t up against Huppert. (They split the Globes for Musical/Comedy and Drama).

You don’t find such gutsy roles for women of a certain age in U.S. films, and Huppert’s fearlessness onscreen

Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea. Lonergan so deserves it for his moving story, sophisticated storytelling, and unexpected humor. I think he’ll edge out the scriptwriters for La La Land, 20th Century Women, Hell or High Water, and The Lobster.

BEST SCRIPT (ADAPTED) Luke Davies, Lion. Just a hunch, but this is a popular movie based on an irresistible true story. It might just squeak by over the scripts for Moonlight, Arrival, Fences, and Hidden Figures.

MISC: While I don’t perceive the popular La La Land as Oscar bait in the acting or script departments, I’d be very surprised if it didn’t dance off with the gold in the music categories: Best Song (probably “City of Stars,” this being Hollywood, and all), and Best Original Score. (Although I’d give the latter to Nicholas Britell, for Moonlight—especially those edgy string interludes, as profound and immediate as a heartbeat.) Also, look for La La Land to score for Production Design and Cinematography. But it might lose out in the Best Costume race to Madeline Fontaine’s retro ’60s-chic clothing in Jackie.

The Academy Awards will be handed out Sunday, Feb. 26.

And the evening food service begins at 4 p.m.,” she says.

Kane says that everything about the multi-function space—catered meetings, space for rent, outdoor courtyard seating, commercial kitchen—encourages collaboration.

And she believes that all of the vendors using the common kitchen seem to share the space in sync. “It all works,” she says.

After two years, “we’re still plugging away, even though we all still have our day jobs. I think we’re doing a great job inviting the community into this space. We wanted it to be a comfortable place, a place that a single woman could come and sit at the bar and feel at home,” she says. scfoodlounge.com.

“We’ve got a huge commercial kitchen,” Kane explains as we chat at the “front door” retail and showcase portion of the Santa Cruz Food Lounge. “We wanted to be an incubator kitchen, and now we’re home to almost 10 local food purveyors. We wanted to give young

businesses a way to create their products without having to invest in their own bricks-and-mortar spaces.”

Fogline Farms, Kickin Chicken and others now create artisanal items from the former India Joze kitchen.

“And there’s the front of the house,” Kane continues. “We make our liquor license available for a variety of events, and the restaurant can be used for pop-ups. It’s our way of supporting local businesses.”

A large lunch party was in high gear the day I visited. Food Lounge does regular in-house catered events, and takes part in the wildly

popular First Friday art crawl. “But we also do Night Market on second Fridays. Mostly consumable foods, like a farmers market graze,” Kane says. “Vendors set up tables and sell various items. It’s great for people early in their careers to get feedback on their products.”

The Food Lounge acts like an inviting neighborhood salon. “People can come in a group and sample a lot of little tastes—usually with live music. It’s great customer contact,” she says.

And then there’s the Pantry retail space in the very front of the

Now that the debut Kitchen Table Restaurant Week has come and gone, it looks like the dining-parties-inprivate-homes idea cooked up by Tracy Shaw is a big hit. At one installment last week, I sampled the impeccable harvest of walnuts from Nicole Facciuto of Corky’s Nuts, followed by course after small-plate course, cooked while we watched by Chef Gonzo. Seared sea scallops, shrimp in spicy chimichurri, chicken skewers with mango sauce, lamb lollipops with fruit chutney, fine wines, and Dana Scruggs trio jazz.

Yeow! Intrigued? You bet you are.

Check salasoiree.com to see how it works.

ELLA’S TURNS 10!

Stop by Ella’s at the Airport and Cafe Ella in Watsonville all this week for daily specials in honor of 10 years serving a fine locally-sourced menu to South County foodies. Make sure you enter the gift card drawing on Friday, Feb. 24. “There aren’t a lot of businesses in Watsonville that have been around for over 10 years,” says Maricruz Santillan, Cafe Ella manager. We agree.

Congratulations to founder Ella King! ellasinwatsonville.com.

Scotts Valley’s corporate café without borders BY AARON CARNES

It seems like you offer even more on the daily specials than on the everyday menu.

The menu ranges from tacos to yellow-curry-crusted rock cod to beef bourguignon. What inspired the eclectic approach?

How does the produce bar work?

JASON PEREZ: My background is pretty varied. I worked in corporate cafés for years. I worked at Google and Cisco and Apple, so I’ve learned a lot of different styles of food. Our concept is we have a captive audience, and we want to keep them coming back as opposed to leaving and going elsewhere. So we want to provide enough of a variety on our menu that people won’t get bored. We try to feature all different flavors from around the world. We’re a café without borders. We’re just trying to be unique and offer a lot of different things.

That’s what we do. Part of my contract is that I have to provide one vegetarian option and one non-vegetarian option special per day. On top of that, I do a really healthy, fresh salad bar. I have a grill, so I make my own veggie patties, burger, chicken sandwich, things of that nature, and pastries. Stuff like that. It’s unique for a corporate café since we’re open to the public.

We call it the produce bar because we do a lot of things. We do romaine lettuce, but we also do baby greens and spinach. We also do our own kale—it’s cured here, and we put it on the salad bar. We also cook quinoa.

We have that out there. Tofu. A lot of other stuff. We’ll cook our own peas.

It’s not canned. Everything is fresh.

It’s a fairly good-sized salad bar. The dressings are all made from scratch.

It’s always nice to be able to have a coleslaw or corn and black bean salad, something on top of just cucumbers and stuff like that.

orporate cafés have become eclectic, interesting eateries, especially around Silicon Valley. The only problem is that their clientele is usually limited to nearby employees. Not so with Green Hills Café, a corporate café for Central California Alliance For Health in Scotts Valley, which is open to the public as well as to the staff, and offers a surprisingly wide array of menu options.

Hallcrest Carignane 2013 made from organic Carignane grapes BY JOSIE COWDEN

S

ometimes known as “the forgotten grape,” Carignane is not always easy to find.

But winemaker John Schumacher at Hallcrest Vineyards has made not only an interesting Carignane, but also one from organically grown grapes. Fruit for the 2013 Carignane was harvested in Mendocino, where the climate of this upland valley is cooler than surrounding appellations—and just perfect for vigorous red Carignane grapes.

Carignane is quite often used as a coloring component in blends, and due to its high acidity and tannins, it requires skill to produce a wine that is smooth, elegant and drinkable— and kudos are due to Schumacher for his expertise.

“Organically grown from Mendocino County, Carignane is a bright and opulent wine,” says Schumacher. “Aromas of Fuji apple, apricot jam and cracked peppercorn fill the glass.” The wine is “soft on the palate with a velvety finish,” Schumacher adds of his well-made Carignane, which sells for $18 at Hallcrest Vineyards.

I often make a Greek dish of baked eggplant with béchamel sauce called “papoutsakia” (little shoes), which

is quite rich and requires a pairing of a more astringent wine. Always imbibing on a glass of wine while cooking, I opened the Carignane to try. This was worth two glasses before dinner.

Schumacher, whose name is synonymous with good wine, is known around these parts for his skills with the grape, and earthy approach to making wine.

Not all Hallcrest wines are organic, but Schumacher has created an abundance of red and white varietals under his other label, Organic Wine Works, including Zinfandel, Barbera and Chardonnay—all of which are reasonably priced.

Hallcrest has a beautiful tasting room for trying more of Schumacher’s wines, and it’s the perfect spot to take a picnic, which the winery welcomes. Schumacher purchased the winery back in 1987, when it was called Felton Empire. He changed the name to Hallcrest, and congratulations are in order as he’s now been making wine for 30 years.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SOLAR ECLIPSE, NEW MOON IN PISCES Mercury (Sun’s messenger) enters Pisces on Saturday, joining the Sun in Pisces. This is our last week before the Lenten season (46 days) begins, starting with Mardi Gras next Tuesday.

This is a week of festivals, a secret birthday celebration, preparations, a solar eclipse and a new moon. Each sign has a specific purpose and task. Pisces is called the “Light of the World,” and its task is to save the world. The light of Pisces reveals the light of life itself, ending forever the darkness (ignorance, unkindness, criticism, judgment, etc.) of matter. All of Earth’s kingdoms absorb this “saving” Pisces light.

During Pisces, and with Mercury in Pisces, humanity is informed of its sacred tasks—to save ourselves by loving each other in order

to survive, sustain, create and thrive in the new world.

Sunday is Pisces’ new moon solar eclipse. All eclipses inform us that something has been completed and is disappearing, so something more vibrant and useful can come forth. Solar eclipses tell us something deeply essential to our lives is over. The eclipse new moon occurs at 8 degrees Pisces. Where is that degree of Pisces in everyone’s astrology chart? That tells us what area of life will be affected by this new moon eclipse. The keynote for Pisces new moon is: “Go forth in matter, in order to experience (and later save) the world.” Tuesday is Mardi Gras. We bake our Three Kings Cake.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A quiet, peaceful, yet startling change comes into your life. You become sensitive, compassionate and sympathetic towards everyone, especially those in need.

You’re drawn to things mystical, religious, spiritual and meditative, and the why isn’t apparent. You seek forgiveness while offering it. You allow no persecutions of any kingdom. Here your Aries comes forth.

You become practical in all ways, tending to daily necessities for self and others. You become the social worker for the world, using your gifts and capacities to create roles for others so that they too can be of assistance and service. You make improvements wherever you go, tending to details, being scientific and concrete in your healing information. You drop all levels of criticism. You understand forgiveness.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Feb. 22

TAURUS Apr21–May21 All that you do, consider and ponder upon has to do with groups, friendships, organizations and the forming of community that restores and reforms society. You know what’s coming. You are concerned with hosting new ideas, creating collective objectives, and helping others realize hopes, wishes and dreams that sustain life on Earth. There is a mantra that is useful to say: “Let reality govern my every thought and truth be the master of my life.”

GEMINI May 22–June 20

FEBRUARY 22-28, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The mantra for Taurus is important for you, too. It’s very useful for the dissolution of glamors—not only the glamors of self, but when encountering the glamors (distortions, miasmas, illusions) of others. Eliminating glamors helps us focus on accomplishing goals, achieve a successful public life, and maintain an honorable reputation. You have authoritative tasks to perform and an influential position to fulfill for the saving of humanity.

You might begin preparing now.

When observing you for a time, we sense a new level of dignity emanating from you. We also sense a new level of creative self-expression, which in time becomes a new art form that restores the art of living to yourself and the world. Sometimes, you focus on happiness, things that entertain, and you are playful with games, children and/or sports. You speculate on ways resources can manifest, and meditate upon this daily.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Family continues to be your concern—creating, tending to, or writing about one. Your history is like a tree growing within you; its roots go deep, the trunk is your life force, and the leaves how you interact with the world. Realize how important parents were. Whether they were good enough or not, all parents are “good enough” in terms of what we must learn (realizing we choose them). A radical thought. Moodiness and brooding may visit. Take shelter.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

The light of Pisces is providing you with aspirations and high ideals to learn something new that develops deeper levels of awareness leading to wisdom. Remember to never assume a position of knowing until it is experienced, or its validity proven. You will expand your mind through travel, study, a philosophy or a serious encounter with soil and the Earth (gardening). Then teach others what you learn. Be adventurous and experiential.

You’re interested in new ways of communicating, expressing yourself and talking with family, friends, neighbors and siblings. Most important will be things literary and artistic, either in books, attending museums, music fests or perhaps reconsidering how to once again bring forth your art. You love change now, and are very adaptable. Realize that others around may not be.

Restlessness can upset an organized and artistic apple cart. Just keep going. Draw your greenhouse.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You search for your values. They have changed over the years. You explore the values of others, listening to their talk of sex, intimacy, money, death, regeneration.

You discover your ability to diagnose illness in friends, extending this ability to pets. You like to be the detective, and for a while read mysteries that provide courage through conflict. Be not jealous or combative. You will lose. Life in the shadows is best for a while. Emily Dickinson understands this.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Book a complimentary consultation online at www.purebeautyesthetics.com

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You find yourself through relationship interactions—whether intimate, close friends, partnerships, or who and what you identify with in the moment. You want to cooperate, seeking harmony within all situations so that a sense of life-in-balance emerges. From person to the political, from social justice to world peace, you travel the range of relationships within the world of humanity’s endeavors. Do you remember the esoteric formula for peace?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 During this month, you will review and contemplate your values, gifts, abilities, talents, resources and possessions.

You will realize you have vast resources; some hidden, some far away, and some to give away. You will seek ways of making money and will find a state of strength that understands and sustains conservative yet liberal values.

You will seek comfort and new ways to keep safe and warm.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 There’s a sense of well-being, exaltation and a radiant willingness in all that you do. You initiate new ideas others will accept, reject and react to. Controversy is good, calling forth harmony at the core of chaos and conflict. The light of Pisces is creating within you a state of magnetism, poise, and confidence. Pisces is one of the signs of health (Virgo is the other). Tend carefully to diet and health. Think green (plants, drinks, food, clothes, shoes, etc.) and warm (golden milk).

AN URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ AMENDING, ON AN INTERIM BASIS, SECTION 24.08.1380 OF TITLE 24, PART 14 “RESIDENTIAL DEMOLITION/CONVERSION AUTHORIZATION PERMITS” OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ MUNICIPAL CODE. WHEREAS, the City of Santa Cruz (the “City”) has affirmed commitment to maintain, protect, and develop affordable housing by the adopted General Plan policy, Housing Element policy, and by Ordinance, including Santa Cruz Municipal Code Part 14 of Chapter 24.08 which requires a Demolition/ Conversion Authorization Permit; and WHEREAS, Section 24.08.1310 states, “[i]n recognition of the need to maintain affordable housing opportunities and protect low- and moderate-income tenants when demolition or conversion of their living units is proposed, this permit provides for orderly change and replacement housing, where possible.”; and WHEREAS, on December 8, 2016 the City determined that the residences at the parcels containing 344, 350, and 356 Ocean Street have substandard building violations and endangered the health, safety, and welfare of the tenants, and required that the buildings be vacated and maintained in a safe condition; and

54

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 24.08.1360 of the City’s Municipal Code, an applicant must provide replacement housing when the demolition or conversion of use of three or more dwelling units or singleroom occupancy living units occupied by households of low or moderate income occurs; and WHEREAS, Section 24.08.1380 provides an exception and states that Part 14 of the City’s Municipal Code does not apply to any building where the building official or fire marshal determines that the building is dangerous to the health and safety of the building occupants, neighbors, or the public, and that the demolition of the building is required because of such health and safety concerns; and WHEREAS, the City is concerned that as Section 24.08.1380 currently reads, the

WHEREAS, the City deems it necessary to amend Section 24.08.1380 to clarify that the exception will not apply if the dangerous health and safety condition(s) are the result of lack of maintenance of the building; and WHEREAS, any substantive change to the Zoning Code by City Council must first be referred to the Planning Commission for a public hearing; and WHEREAS, the City finds that the current provisions in Section 24.08.1380 should be amended, on an interim basis, to enhance the protection of public health, safety and welfare while the City Council and Planning Commission hold public hearings and review the proposed zoning amendment; and WHEREAS, the residences at the parcels containing 344, 350, and 356 Ocean Street are believed to be currently vacant, and the property owners have expressed a desire to demolish the residences in the near future; and WHEREAS, there is currently a serious housing shortage in the City of Santa Cruz, and the referenced parcels on Ocean Street are just one example demonstrating why the Municipal Code, which impacts all City properties equally, needs to be amended, so as to incentivize all property owners to maintain their property in good and habitable condition; and WHEREAS, in light of the concerns above, the City finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and wishes for the Section 24.08.1380 amendment to apply immediately in order to ensure that the exception under Section 24.08.1380 does not deprive tenants of relocation assistance or replacement housing; WHEREAS, for the protection of the public’s health, safety and welfare, the City Council on January 10, 2017 adopted Ordinance

No. 2017-01 making findings and establishing a 45-day Interim Urgency Ordinance which amended on an interim basis Section 24.08.1380 concerning exceptions to the residential demolition/ conversion authorization permits of Title 24, Chapter 24.08, Part 14 “Residential Demolition/Conversion Authorization Permits”. which the 45 day moratorium will expire on February 24, 2017 unless extended in accordance with Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to extend Ordinance 2017-01 for an additional period of up to three months effective from February 14, 2017 and expiring on May 14, 2017 or when the permanent ordinance becomes effective, whichever comes first, as permitted

by Government Code Section 65858, to maintain the current status quo and to provide time to allow review of the permanent code amendment with properly noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Santa Cruz as follows: Section 1. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858, from and after the date of this Ordinance, Section 24.08.1380 of the City’s Municipal Code is amended to read as follows (additions in italics): This part, except for relocation assistance as stipulated in Title 21 of the Municipal Code, shall not apply to any building when the building official or fire marshal determines that the building is dangerous to the health and safety of the building occupants, neighbors, or the public, and that the demolition of the building is required because of such health and safety concerns. The building official or the fire marshal shall set forth in writing the reasons for their determination that the building is dangerous to the health and safety of the building occupants,

neighbors, or the public. However, this exception shall not apply if the dangerous health and safety condition(s) are the result of lack of maintenance of the building. This section has no impact on the relocation assistance requirements stipulated in Title 21 of the Municipal Code.

Section 2. This interim ordinance is necessary in that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the application of the exception stated in Section 24.08.1380 as it currently reads would result in the threat to the public health, safety or welfare as discussed above.

Section 3. This interim ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060(c) (2) – the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and Section 15060(c) (3) – the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

Section 5. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its final adoption.

– 1.5-2 lb London broil steak – 4 TBSP balsamic vinegar – 4 TBSP olive oil – 2 cloves garlic minced –1.5 tsp salt –1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

– Combine all ingredients in a large Ziploc bag and seal. Let marinate for a few hours in the fridge (overnight is even better!)

– Once the meat is ready, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Place steak in pan and allow to cook for 6-7 minutes.

Important: do not move meat. Let it sear!

– Flip meat over, cook another 5-8 minutes, depending on thickness.

– It’s important not to overcook London broil as it will get tough. Medium rare is perfect for this cut of meat.

Internal temperature should be about 130 degrees Fahrenheit – When the meat is done and crisped on the outside, pull out of pan and set aside to sit for about 10 minutes before carving. Be sure to slice against the grain.

What got you started at Shopper’s? I was at a barbecue and we needed more meat. I was given a list and told to go to Shopper’s.

Coming from Montana and Oregon, where you could get quality meats, I recall thinking that Shopper’s was the first place I had encountered in Santa Cruz that had a really good meat department with a great selection. The butchers are always helpful with tips and suggestions. I lean towards country home cooking — meat and potatoes but also veggies and stews. I’m drawn to Shopper’s steak, sausages, various fish, and the in-season crab. I find Shopper’s to be easy and convenient.

|

How so? Because of the size of the store and the fact that they aren’t constantly shifting products around, I know where everything is. I can get in and out quickly. There are many benefits to Shopper’s being locally-owned when comparing it to the big stores. Shopper’s products are usually better quality — I’m concerned with buying organic and they have that. I like the people here… they are friendly and always available if you have questions. Because Shopper’s is family-owned, the employees are more likely to be onboard with the management’s philosophy of maintaining a friendly, community environment.

You have a favorite department or two? Well, I’ve already mentioned the butcher department.

I’d also include the wines. I try to buy local overall, and I really like their local wine selections. And I love chocolate! Shopper’s has such great variety. I like to eat chocolates after dinner and with good wine. The produce — terrific! — looks beautiful, feels fresh, and always tastes fantastic. Oh, Shopper’s has a great cheese department. Excellent! What’s unique about Shopper’s is that they not only offer highquality products but also the best in customer service. This is rare as most businesses maybe offer only one these two facets.
