OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE 1984 has been my favorite book for a long time, so the marathon reading of the book that Steve Kettman writes about in our cover story this week seemed like a brilliant idea to me right away. What had surprised me over the course of talking about the reading these last couple of weeks is how many other people also consider George Orwell’s dystopian novel their favorite.

What is it about this book?

Perhaps it has something to do with when we first encountered it, which for most of us was sometime in our formative high school or college years. For me, reading 1984 opened

NULL SERVICE

Lily Stoicheff dedicated her article about “six up-and-comers” who are shaking up the Santa Cruz culinary scene (GT, 2/15) to chefs, each with a unique path.

Restaurants have become a launching pad for those chefs who seek a farm-to-table menu or a Pacific Rim adventure to try and appease the local community. Missing from this equation is service. Table service and customer service etiquette.

I would rather drive to Palo Alto, San Francisco or Napa Valley to be greeted by food captains and back-servers who actually live by a dress code rather than someone disguised with plainclothes. The longsleeved white shirt and black pants have disappeared, along with details on table service. Culinary masterminds do not have time to train the front-of-the-house employees. So the dedication of balance in a restaurant is lost. Paying a handsome price for lunch or dinner other than Santa Cruz is real.

LOU BARNES, JR. | Santa Cruz

CLIMATE CHANGES Santa Cruz County has been affected over past years by drought with water restrictions, concern about fires and

a door into a world of literature that used imagined societal nightmares to explain real-life ones. After that came Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We and Philip K. Dick’s Man in the High Castle, but as I got older and more familiar with how the world works, it was 1984 that continued to ring the most true.

For a lot of people, it seems to be ringing truer than ever since the election. Kettman’s story explores why 1984 has become a phenomenon again, almost 70 years after it was published. What I particularly like is how he looks deeper than the Big Brother level which the book is most famous for; there’s so much more about 1984 that better describes the world we live in—now, unfortunately, more than ever.

saltwater intrusion. This season, we have experienced flooding, landslides, infrastructure and housing destruction.

All of this chaos has been predicted by climate scientists, yet we as a nation and community are resistant to making changes in our policies and personal lives to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

The federal government is advocating increased fossil fuel production and pipelines, with no regard for the communities affected by pollution, poisoned water and climate destruction.

We must resist these policies.

Locally, vehicle travel comprises 60 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions.

Yet Highway 1 will be widened, and insufficient funds will be allocated to METRO by Measure D to improve service.

In addition, there is a new proposal to build a five-story parking garage above a new library in the parking lot of the current Farmers Market.

Carpooling, bus ridership, biking and walking are ways we can all significantly decrease our carbon footprint and the need for more vehicle infrastructure. If local communities fail to change radically, each succeeding year will be hotter than the next and the temperature of the Earth will make it uninhabitable for life as we know it. I fear for my children and grandchildren >8

AFTER THE FLOOD

WINGING IT

The Santa Cruz County government is asking locals to immediately report flood damage suffered to their homes, businesses and properties to help themselves and others across the county qualify for federal aid to rebuild. A SurveyMonkey link has been posted to the county’s webpage, co.santacruz.ca.us, with a 10-item questionnaire.

Residents may also call 211 to report damage and have someone assist them with the report.

The World Wildlife Fund and the Carlos Slim Foundation, founded by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helú, have been working together to fund protections for Monarch butterflies, which migrate each year from Canada to Mexico (many of them making an autumn stop in Santa Cruz). The time for action is nigh, as the foundation just announced that the area occupied by the butterflies decreased 27 percent this winter, compared with the previous year.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of March 1 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I predict that you will have earned the title of Master Composter no later than March 26. Not necessarily because you will have packed your food scraps, wilted flowers, coffee grounds, and shredded newspapers in, say, a deluxe dual-chamber tumbling compost bin. But rather because you will have dealt efficiently with the rotting emotions, tattered habits, decrepit melodramas, and trivial nonsense that has accumulated; you will have worked hard to transform all that crap into metaphorical fertilizer for your future growth. Time to get started!

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke bemoaned the fact that so many of us “squander our sorrows.” Out of self-pity or lazy self-indulgence, we wallow in memories of experiences that didn’t turn out the way we wished they would have. We paralyze ourselves with repetitions of depleting thoughts. Here’s an alternative to that approach: We could use our sadness and frustrations to transform ourselves.

We could treat them as fuel to motivate our escape from what doesn’t work, to inspire our determination to rise above what demoralizes and demeans us. I mention this, Libra, because now is an excellent time to do exactly that.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 It’s a good time for you to wield your emotional intelligence with leadership and flair. The people you care about need more of your sensitive influence. Any posse or tribe you’re part of will benefit from your thoughtful intervention. So get out there and build up the group morale, Taurus. Assert your healing ideals with panache.

Tamp down the insidious power of peer pressure and fashionable nonsense. You have a mandate to wake up sleepy allies and activate the dormant potential of collective efforts.

GEMINI May21–June20 If you were ever in your life going to be awarded an honorary Ph.D. from a top university, it would happen in the next few weeks. If there were even a remote possibility that you would someday be given one of those MacArthur Fellowship “genius” grants, now would be the time. Likewise, if you had any hopes of being selected as one of “The World’s Sexiest Chameleons” or “The Fastest, Sweetest Talkers on Earth” or “The Planet’s Most Virtuoso Vacillators,” the moment has arrived. And even if none of those things happen, I’m still pretty sure that your reputation and status will be on the rise.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 You’re wandering into places you’ve always thought you should be wary of or skeptical about. Good for you! As long as you protect your innocence, I encourage you to keep exploring. To my delight, you have also been fantasizing about accomplishments that used to be off-limits.

Again, I say: Good for you! As long as you don’t overreach, I invite you to dream boldly, even brazenly. And since you seem to be in the mood for big thinking, here are other revolutionary activities to consider: dissolving nonessential wishes; transcending shrunken expectations; escaping the boring past; busting irrelevant taboos.

I did a good job of raising my daughter. She turned out to be a thoughtful, intelligent adult with high integrity and interesting skills. But I’m not sure my parenting would have been as effective if I’d had more kids. I discussed this issue with Nathan, a guy I know. His six offspring are all grown up, too. “How did you do it?” I asked him.

“Having just one child was a challenging job for me.” “I’ll tell you my secret,” Nathan told me. “I’m a bad father. I didn’t work very hard on raising my kids. And now they never let me forget it.” In the coming weeks and months, Leo, I recommend that you pursue my approach in your chosen field, not Nathan’s. Aim for high-quality intensity rather than scattershot quantity.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In her poem “Not Anyone Who Says,” Virgo writer Mary Oliver looks down on people who declare, “I’m going to be careful and smart in matters of love.” She disparages the passion of anyone who asserts, “I’m going to choose slowly.” Instead she champions those who are “chosen by something invisible and powerful and uncontrollable and beautiful and possibly even unsuitable.” Here’s my response: Her preferred formula sounds glamorous and dramatic and romantic—especially the powerful and beautiful part. But in practice it rarely works out well— maybe just 10 percent of the time—mostly because of the uncontrollable and unsuitable part. And now is not one of those times for you, Virgo. Be careful and smart in matters of love, and choose slowly.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 It’s time for the Bliss Blitz—a new holiday just for you Scorpios. To celebrate it properly, get as buoyant as you dare; be greedy for euphoria; launch a sacred quest for pleasure. Ah, but here’s the big question: Can you handle this much relief and release? Are you strong enough to open yourself to massive outbreaks of educational delight and natural highs? Some of you may not be prepared. You may prefer to remain ensconced in your protective sheath of cool cynicism. But if you think you can bear the shock of unprecedented exaltation and jubilation, then go ahead and risk it. Experiment with the unruly happiness of the Bliss Blitz.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In his book The Horologicon, Mark Forsyth gathered “obscure but necessary” words that he dug out of old dictionaries. One of his discoveries is a perfect fit for you right now. It’s “snudge,” a verb that means to walk around with a pensive look on your face, appearing to be busy or in the midst of productive activity, when in fact you’re just goofing off. I recommend it for two reasons: 1. It’s important for your mental and physical health that you do a lot of nothing; that you bless yourself with a healing supply of refreshing emptiness. 2. It’s important for your mental and physical health that you do this on the sly as much as possible; that you avoid being judged or criticized for it by others.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I wish your breakfast cereal came in boxes decorated with Matisse and Picasso paintings. I wish songbirds would greet you each morning with sweet tunes. I wish you’d see that you have more power than you realize.

I wish you knew how uniquely beautiful you are. I wish you’d get intoxicated with the small miracles that are happening all around you. I wish that when you made a bold move to improve your life, everyone greeted it with curiosity and excitement. And I wish you would let your imagination go half-wild with fascinating fantasies during this, the Capricorn wishing season.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “You’re a different human being to everybody you meet,” says novelist Chuck Palahniuk. Now is an excellent time to contemplate the intricacies and implications of that amazing truth—and start taking better advantage of how much freedom it gives you. Say the following statements out loud and see how they feel: 1. “My identity isn’t as narrowly circumscribed as I think it is.” 2. “I know at least 200 people, so there must be at least 200 facets to my character.” 3. “I am too complicated to be completely comprehended by any one person.” 4. “Consistency is overrated.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Your immediate future is too good to be true. Or at least that’s what you, with your famous self-doubt, might be inclined to believe if I told you the truth about the favorable developments that are in the works. Therefore, I have come up with some fake anxieties to keep your worry reflex engaged so it won’t sabotage the real goodies. Beware of dirty limericks and invisible ladders and upside-down rainbows and psychic bunny rabbits. Be on guard against accountants wearing boxing gloves and clowns singing Broadway show tunes in runaway shopping carts and celebrities telling you classified secrets in your dreams.

TENACIOUS D Foods that contain vitamin D include mushrooms, cheese, egg yolks and fatty fish.

Vitamin Sunshine

T

he recent deluge of rain has filled our lakes and rivers, but has the sun-scarce streak of weather had an opposite influence on our bodies’ levels of vitamin D? Also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” because it’s produced via UV exposure on the skin, vitamin D is lacking in much of the U.S population.

“Vitamin D deficiency is now recognized as a pandemic,” said Dr. Michael Holick, one of the country’s leading vitamin D researchers, in a 2008 article published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. More

recently, a 2011 study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that 42 percent of all Americans were deficient. Symptoms of deficiency vary and are nonspecific, including muscle weakness, bone pain, fatigue, and difficulty thinking clearly. The best way to check for a deficiency is by getting a blood test.

Since vitamin D is involved in many biological processes throughout the body—some health professionals believe it should actually be classified as a hormone— deficiency can have vast and serious health impacts. Because it promotes

calcium absorption in the gut and helps maintain adequate levels in the blood, vitamin D’s most commonly accepted health impact is on bone health and associated diseases like osteoporosis.

But emerging evidence is showing that it can affect cancer risk as well.

According to an article published on the National Institute of Health’s website, “Strong biological and mechanistic bases indicate that vitamin D plays a role in the prevention of colon, prostate, and breast cancers.” It is also thought to be linked to cardiovascular disease

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MARCH 1-7, 2017

Studies find vitamin D deficiency is widespread in the U.S. BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

because it’s involved in immune function and reducing inflammation.

The article also states that vitamin D might play a role in both the treatment and prevention of conditions like type 1 and 2 diabetes, glucose intolerance, and high blood pressure.

New evidence published in February 2017 in the journal The BMJ showed that vitamin D supplementation protected against acute respiratory infections like colds and the flu. These two conditions are not only most common in winter and spring, when vitamin D levels are usually at their lowest, but are also a leading cause of doctor visits and days off work. Said the study’s lead author, “This major collaborative research effort has yielded the first definitive evidence that vitamin D really does protect against respiratory infections.” One explanation for this effect is that vitamin D increases levels of natural antibiotic-like substances in the lungs.

Vitamin D may also play a crucial role in psychological health and well-being through its impact on serotonin. Often thought of as the “feel good” neurotransmitter, it is implicated in long-term love and companionship as well as being acted on by drugs like antidepressants, LSD, MDMA, and psilocybin. A 2015 article published in the FASEB Journal proposed a direct link between not only vitamin D, but also marine-based omega-3 fatty acids, and serotonin synthesis, release, and function in the brain.

The study estimated that around 70 percent of the U.S. population has inadequate levels of vitamin D and that optimizing intake “… may help prevent and modulate the severity of brain dysfunction.”

Besides sun exposure, vitamin D can also be obtained through the diet, although its natural sources are few, including fish liver oil, fatty fish like salmon and tuna, as well as cheese and egg yolks. The best vegan source of vitamin D is mushrooms, but many foods like breakfast cereals, orange juice, milk, and yogurt are fortified with it, and supplements are also widely available.

NEWS STORE VALUES Corralitos family switches to water catchment and storage system

MARCH 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY MATTHEW PERA

12

A 46,000-gallon rainwater tank made entirely of stainless steel hides behind a grove of oak trees atop the highest slope on John Haskins’ 5-acre Corralitos property.

If all goes according to plan, that tank and two others will make the Haskins home water-neutral, which is why he wanted to install it after so many dry years.

This winter’s historically high rain levels, however, filled up Haskins’ new rainwater storage system quickly, and have left it consistently full. Still, these storms only reassure Haskins that he’s made a good investment as he resists temptation to call the five-year California drought over—no matter what the meteorologists say.

“Nobody predicted all this rain,” he says, noting that last year’s El Niño winter was slated to bring massive levels of rainfall to California, and didn’t. And this season, a La Niña year, was supposed to be rather dry.

“Weather patterns are only becoming more unpredictable.”

The tank is 27 feet in diameter, and holds enough rainwater to supply his family of four with the water they need year-round, so long as they remain frugal with their usage and cut back on irrigation during the summer.

The Haskinses hope to eliminate their impact on Santa Cruz County’s groundwater, which has been under stress from over-pumping since the 1950s.

Last year, the family used an average of 600 gallons of water per day during the summer months and 200 gallons per day during the winter, including household use, drinking water, irrigation, and filling their living swimming pool—a chemical-free alternative to the backyard amenity.

Haskins’ property is still connected to a well, which used to be the home’s primary source of water before the rainwater catchment system was built. And with the simple flip of a lever, Haskins can still draw from the well just as easily as before.

But in theory, if the Haskinses follow through with their plan to cut back on summer water use, they should have enough rainwater in the tank to shut off flow from the well year-round, something that would help out their many neighbors. >16

Thin Raid Line

Confusion and claims of interagency deceit follow immigration raids in Santa Cruz BY LEONIE SHERMAN

J

olted awake by the rumble of armored personnel carriers two weeks ago, a young mother says her family still hasn’t recovered.

“The hardest part was the stress it brought,” explains the woman, an undocumented immigrant who asked to remain anonymous, referring to the raid that took place in her Live Oak neighborhood at 4 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 13. “The helicopters woke us up, and now we can’t sleep because we are so scared ICE is coming back for us. My 7-year-old son, who was born here, is afraid to walk around his own neighborhood.”

The operation was the culmination of a five-year investigation aimed at an El Salvadoran gang, which

began after a member of the public complained about extortion by the gang. Officials initially said the offensive didn’t target undocumented immigrants at all.

The operation immediately followed a weekend of immigration raids around the country, some of them in other sanctuary cities.

“The timing of this blows,” admits Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) Deputy Chief Rick Martinez. “We knew that the timing coincided with immigration raids nationwide and that this was going to muddy the validity of our criminal investigation.”

Years ago, SCPD brought in Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) when they realized families in El Salvador were being threatened

with extortion by the international gang MS-13. Last week, the saga erupted into a war of words between the HSI and SCPD.

TRUST OR BUST A few weeks ago, local SCPD agents working alongside the HSI team got wind that gang members were planning a local homicide and went before a federal grand jury to secure indictments and proceed as quickly as possible.

City leaders and police all say they participated in the operation only because HSI assured them it was solely a criminal investigation and there was no immigration component.

In the aftermath of the militarized raid, they used an HSI press >15

HELPING YOU TO

SEEKING COMMUNITY

release to assure the public that 12 gang members had been taken off the streets, and that no immigration enforcement activities took place.

Eyewitnesses told a different story. By the afternoon of the operation, community members began reporting that Homeland Security members were doing immigration checks.

When SCPD Deputy Chief Dan Flippo asked the deputy special agent in charge about that claim, the agent denied it. But the next day, at a City Council meeting, enough people complained about immigration enforcement activities to alarm Flippo, who left City Hall and began an aggressive investigation before the meeting even ended.

SCPD learned that after they left the scene, HSI had detained an additional 10 people based on their immigration status—six of them were taken to a facility in San Francisco for the day. Five of the 10 are now wearing GPS monitoring systems, and the rest were given immigration court summons papers.

Police and city leaders were embarrassed and angered by the new information. “If we had known this was going to happen, we would not have participated,” says Martinez.

HSI denied these allegations in a second press release, insisting that SCPD knew about the immigration aspect all along. But SCPD holds firm that the feds misled them. “We were repeating misinformation supplied by HSI,” says Flippo. “We were lied to.”

“This was a total bait and switch,” Martinez explains. “This action violated our trust in HSI and the local community’s trust in us.”

At a press conference on Thursday Feb. 23, SCPD Chief Kevin Vogel went one step further. “We will not collaborate with agencies we do not trust,” he said.

SCPD currently has three open cases with HSI, involving human trafficking, child pornography and narcotics trafficking. Given recent developments, the future of those cases is unclear.

ICE officials failed to provide a response by deadline despite twice assuring GT they would do so.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart decided not to collaborate with HSI on the raids, even though six of the search warrants were within his jurisdiction.

“I have serious concerns about outside agencies coming into Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction with SWAT teams and military-grade equipment and not communicating directly with me or my executive staff about what they are doing,” Hart says.

He stresses the importance of arresting violent criminals, but questions the level of force involved in the activities on the morning of Feb. 13. “Did we really need over 200 officers, helicopters, MRAPs and Bearcats to arrest nine gang members?” Hart asks. He believes the display of force was intended to intimidate counties and cities with sanctuary status.

Hart encourages other local agencies to adopt a stance of noncompliance with similar actions in the future. “We can do these operations without federal assistance,” Hart says. “I have 160 deputies, and we are willing to commit our resources to assist local agencies, rather than see a repeat of what HSI did.”

Sheriff Hart joined forces with Live Oak School District Superintendent Tamyra Taylor and First District County Supervisor John Leopold to manage the fallout in the unincorporated areas of mid-county.

“People all over Live Oak were terrorized when they were woken up by helicopters overhead and armored vehicles rumbling through their neighborhoods,” says Leopold.

Together they coordinated a community meeting on Thursday, Feb. 16, hoping to give the community a better idea of what to do if these tactics become more common. They handed out guardianship forms and instructions showing what to do if immigration officials come knocking on their doors. “We wanted to help people understand their rights,” says Leopold.

At the press conference, Vogel said SCPD plans to hold a series of community meetings of its own.

In the past two weeks, Leopold has worried about the impact the raids could have on the relationship

between the community, local politicians and law enforcement.

“We work hard to build trust with the community,” Leopold explains.

“Actions like this drive a wedge between local governments, nonprofits and the communities we serve.”

Nonprofit leaders and neighbors also express concern about fractured trust.

“If, when federal agents show up, local law enforcement will do their bidding, how can they possibly hope to build trust with our community?” asks Robert Solis, who works with Barrios Unidos, a local youth violence prevention organization. “A month ago, we’re at sanctuary meetings where local law enforcement is telling us they will give us a heads up if the feds are in town doing an operation, and then at 4 a.m. we’ve got helicopters in the sky.”

Several immigrants, who asked to remain anonymous, say the raids have affected them deeply.

“We feel alone, like we can’t confide in the police or rely on them to keep us safe,” explains one young woman, holding a child on her hip.

Some immigrants have shared ideas about how local law enforcement agencies can rebuild trust with their communities. One young woman suggested they let community members know about an operation ahead of time. Other residents were more straight-forward.

“It’s simple,” says one middleaged man. “Don’t cooperate with ICE in this town. In other states, there are cops who won’t work with them.

If our local law enforcement will, who are we supposed to confide in?”

Though the actions earlier this month and the revelation of HSI’s alleged misinformation undermined some people’s trust in law enforcement, one positive result appears to be the strengthening of community ties.

“As soon as this happened, we started having community meetings and networking with others who are doing the same, about how to respond if this happens again,” says another Live Oak resident.

“This is bringing our community tighter and closer, but also making us more distrustful of outside law enforcement agencies.”

GREEN PLUMBING John Haskins hopes his new rain catchment system will allow his family to rely on rainwater year-round and stop using their well. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

GROUNDWATER <12 Water in the Pajaro Valley aquifer below— the Aromas Basin—has fallen well below sea level due to decades of over-pumping, causing seawater intrusion along the coast, which could permanently contaminate the groundwater source.

Haskins almost certainly won’t ever experience seawater intrusion on his property in Corralitos, but Chris Coburn, executive director of the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County (RCD), says that drawing from any groundwater source in the county contributes to the overdraft problem.

So by going off the water grid with his project, Coburn says Haskins has provided

an “excellent example of what individual homeowners can do to help.”

Jack Schultz, a civil engineer with experience on what he calls “unconventional projects,” designed Haskins’ system—his second rainwater system in Santa Cruz County. Schultz hopes his design will inspire other locals to consider curbing their groundwater use by catching rainwater.

Schultz built solar water heaters beginning in 1974 with his company, Solar Utilities, long before home solar use became popular in the United States. Since then, he’s worked on a variety of projects— from protecting creek banks from erosion in Scotts Valley and Aptos with redwoodlog cribbing to repairing water systems

damaged in Sumatra after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

Schultz says rainwater systems designed for drinking water purposes are rare in Santa Cruz County, in part because the regulatory codes do not normally allow for them. He’s designed Haskins’ system to meet EPA requirements for water purification, which he hopes will eventually be approved for permitting in Santa Cruz County.

Regardless, the county still granted a permit to Haskins’ storage tank because his property has access to a well, and the new disinfection system is considered an addition, not the primary source of the home’s drinking water.

Schultz’s design uses three tanks, allowing for maximum capacity and

purification. Rainwater that falls on Haskins’ roof runs downhill into a transfer tank and then passes through a series of filters, as it is pumped back uphill to storage and has all of the pollutants removed along the way.

The large storage tank is high on the property’s slope, allowing gravity to send the water back down to a supply tank connected directly to the home’s water pipes. On its way to the domestic supply tank, the rainwater goes through the final stages of its disinfection process.

Water districts typically disinfect municipal water with filters and chlorine, which protects against any accidental contaminants. Because Schultz’s design doesn’t use chlorine, its water runs through

The storage tank is also linked to a fire hydrant, and home use shuts off if the water level goes below 5,000 gallons, which gives the fire department an emergency supply in the event of a fire.

Schultz—whose son Jozseph owns India Joze restaurant in downtown Santa Cruz—thinks of Haskins as a pioneer in sustainable living, especially because the project benefits the whole basin, more than it does his own family.

Another way to ease the groundwater problem is with aquifer recharge.

In October of last year, the Pajaro Valley Water District teamed up with the RCD and Andy Fisher, a professor of hydrogeology at UCSC, to launch their Recharge Net Metering program, the most recent step in a process Fisher has studied for years. The program provides financial incentive for landowners willing to retrofit their property to direct rainwater into the ground.

The five-year pilot program is the first of its kind in California, and aims to attract landowners whose properties are particularly favorable to groundwater recharge.

Qualifying landowners will provide upward of 100 acre-feet of water infiltration per year—roughly 32,600,000 gallons— and will receive a rebate from the district based on the amount they contribute. The program aims to serve as a model for future programs across the state of California.

The Scotts Valley Water District (SVWD) unveiled a groundwater strategy of its own last month, when it announced a recharge system at the Scotts Valley Transit Center.

Construction crews replaced portions of the concrete parking lot with permeable surfaces, allowing rainwater to percolate back into the Santa Margarita Aquifer, which provides drinking water to all of SVWD’s roughly 11,000 customers.

“The system is designed to add 1 to 1.5 million gallons of water to the Santa Margarita Aquifer on an average wet year,” says David McNair, the district’s operations manager who oversaw the recharge project.

Construction is almost complete at the Scotts Valley Transit Center parking lot, and percolation into the groundwater store has already begun. “We’ll be monitoring it closely to see exactly how productive it will be.”

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.

MARCH 1-7, 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.

18

• 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.”

‘TWO MINUTES’ WARNING Why Bookshop Santa Cruz is hosting a marathon reading of ‘1984’ and what Orwell can teach us about Trump’s America BY STEVE KETTMANN

On Nov. 9, we all woke up to find that we had jumped inside a book, and the clocks had finally struck 13.

Reality as we knew it had shifted on its axis, and we were living in a garish comic-book version of George Orwell’s masterpiece of a novel, 1984. Only if we overcame our shock and revulsion and came to terms

with the specter of a petty, petulant Big Brother holding sway over our lives could we possibly aspire to change the plot of this nightmare story.

Months later, most of us continue to play catch-up, still baffled and demoralized by the inescapable feeling that our reality

has been hijacked, bracing for a long struggle of fighting for our beliefs, and opposing bigotry and authoritarianism. The problem is, we’re being attacked where we live.

It’s like being in a science-fiction movie where a sinister force invades us through the very circuitry of our consciousness. As a former roving

Call Dan Hoggatt, 831.479.9111 820 Bay Ave. Capitola (across from Sushi Garden)

<21 foreign correspondent for wired. com, it hit me during the campaign that the Trump style is like what we call a denial-of-service hack; we are bombarded with so many data points, so much strain on the attention span—many of them bewilderingly loony—that sooner or later we’re worn down and slump into mere anger and thirst for vengeance. This is not a way to steel ourselves for what’s ahead. The morose, life-hating worldview of the reality TV curiosity in the White House cannot be enforced on the rest of us, not without a good fight.

We need to keep smiling. We need to keep laughing and keep our sense of wonder and amazement alive. We need to challenge ourselves not to be smug, and to put the current assault on decency in the larger context of history.

We do that through protest, and through support for fierce voices like new U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, but we also have to find more playful, creative ways to arrive at a deeper understanding of the bewilderment of our time. Back in the worst days of the George W. Bush presidency, former Bookshop Santa Cruz owner Neal Coonerty had the brilliant idea of a “Bush Countdown Clock” that sold like hotcakes, a great example of outrage with a smile. His daughter Casey Coonerty Protti, who now owns Bookshop, is carrying on the tradition with a Trump Countdown Clock that marks the days until his term expires.

PAGING RESISTANCE In the meantime, why not use a public reading of the book we seem to have found ourselves in as a form of protest? That is what we’ll be up to at Bookshop on Thursday, March 2, staging a marathon reading of 1984, starting at 10 a.m. Three of us per hour will read aloud, from the first page to the last—a diverse group that includes Rabbi Paula Marcus and Reverend Deborah Johnson; local writers like Laurie R. King, Micah Perks, Thad Nodine and Karen Joy Fowler; Mayor Cynthia Chase; and prominent local

journalists Wallace Baine of the Sentinel and Steve Palopoli of Good Times.

Since the reading was my idea, I’ve been given the honor of kicking it off with the first 20 minutes, so I’ll crack open my copy of the novel and read aloud the amazing opening: “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.”

Reading those words now, I feel the cold shudder of recognition of Orwell almost single-handedly establishing the now thriving genre of dystopianism. He’d authored many great books, from Down and Out in Paris and London to Homage to Catalonia to Animal Farm, but it was 1984 that vaulted his name to another realm. That was the book that gave us the adjective Orwellian, which according to The New York Times is far and away the most popular adjective formed from an author’s name, though it has become a word people use to mean many things. Still, the definition in that Times article, back in June 2003, seems to hold sway: “‘Orwellian’ reduces Orwell’s palette to a single shade of noir. It brings to mind only sordid regimes of surveillance and thought control and the distortions of language that make them possible.”

Readers have been flocking to Orwell since the election. In fact, the 1949 novel reached No. 1 in January at Amazon and was sold out at bookstores across the country. Top writers checked in with ruminations on the book’s relevance. “Trump’s lies, and his urge to tell them, are pure Big Brother crude, however oafish their articulation,” Adam Gopnik wrote in the New Yorker magazine. “The blind, blatant disregard for truth is offered without even the sugar-façade of sweetness of temper or equableness or entertainment—offered not with a sheen of condescending consensus

By page 10 we’ve already moved well beyond familiar tropes like “newspeak” (here’s to you, Kellyanne Conway) and “ignorance is strength” to a vivid scene involving something called the Two Minutes Hate.

It somehow helps, in swatting away the perpetual droning annoyance of Trump’s antics, to realize that

even writing in ravaged post-World War II England, it was not that hard to speculate that to move people, demagogues resort to manipulation of reality and promiscuous provocation of strong emotion.

Orwell fills the book with this and other creepy insights.

“In all my years of bookselling, I’ve rarely seen a classic make such an impact so many years later,” says Casey Coonerty Protti. “If there is one silver lining, it might be that people across generations—those who already read the book or never got around to it—are discovering how the timelessness of storytelling sometimes allows us to feel and understand a greater truth than what you can get from scanning headlines in today’s media.”

Orwell was a great writer of nonfiction and essays, so much so that he was a beacon to generations of young journalists, including people like Hendrik Hertzberg, one-time editor of the New Republic, who for years wrote remarkably clear-minded political commentary for the New Yorker. But 1984 is much more than merely a novel of ideas, like, say, Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia—which imagined Northern California, Oregon and Washington forming an ecological utopia, and was cheerfully acknowledged by its Berkeley-based author to be more speculative-essay-as-fiction than three-dimensional storytelling.

Orwell’s characters in 1984 come alive. We see them breathe, we see them develop, we feel them as human presences straining to come to terms with impossible demands, above all central character Winston Smith striving desperately to remain human.

but in an ancient tone of rage, vanity, and vengeance.”

There are dangers in turning to Orwell’s famous novel for relief or grounding. No book could have predicted Trump, and no book can keep pace with his incessant need to shock everyone by saying or doing something stupid and offensive almost every day, so long as it gets him more attention, but the book does offer an uncanny road map to Trumpism. For example, by page 10 we’ve already moved well beyond familiar tropes like “newspeak” (here’s to you, Kellyanne Conway) and “ignorance is strength” to a vivid scene involving something called the Two Minutes Hate: “The next moment a hideous, grinding screech, as of some monstrous machine running without oil, burst from the big telescreen at the end of the room. It was a noise that set one’s teeth on edge and bristled the hair at the back of one’s neck. The Hate had started.”

Minus the sound effects, that sounds an awful lot like all-toomany Donald Trump tweets: The Hate has started! Only now our attention spans are shorter, so it’s more like the Twenty Seconds Hate.

“He stepped across the room. There was a memory hole in the opposite wall.

O’Brien lifted the grating. Unseen, the frail slip of paper was whirling away on the current of warm air; it was vanishing in a flash of flame. O’Brien turned away from the wall.

“Ashes,” he said. “Not even identifiable ashes. Dust. It does not exist. It never existed.”

“But it did exist! It does exist! It exists in memory. I remember it. You remember it.”

“I do not remember it,” said O’Brien.

Winston’s heart sank. That was doublethink. He had a feeling of deadly helplessness.”

Because Winston Smith feels alive to us, the fusion of personal and political is perfect and haunting.

Those of us who find ourselves grappling in Trump’s dystopian 2017 America with “deadly helplessness” know Winston Smith’s dread as we never knew it before.

And when we read the Party slogan “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past,” we know exactly what it means as we never could have before, because that is the nature of the Trumpian experiment, not only to attempt to wipe out decency and the values that animated the Founders’ experiment of conceiving a land on the principle that “all men are created equal,” but to wipe out even the memory of a time when we could attempt to believe in those core values without

letting the siren song of avarice and cheap personal ambition trump all else. Read 1984 now—with us at Bookshop or on your own—and weep, and then smile through the tears as the book enables you to remember.

And keep in mind that a lesson of this year is: It could always get worse. As Coonerty Protti put it: “We can only hope the surge of interest in 1984 is not followed up with a resurgence of Lord of the Flies.”

With a deliciously sardonic look at love everlasting, The Dance Of Death depicts the “dance” of marriage and life’s inevitability. As their 25th anniversary approaches, Edgar, an artillery captain, and Alice, a former actress, face off in a fierce battle of wills. Their sparring, as amplified by the voice of celebrated playwright Conor McPherson (The Seafarer, Shining City), proves both harrowing and hilarious. McPherson’s adaptation brings lyricism and ferocity to the story of the tyrannical captain and his desperate wife, and the “innocent” Kurt who stumbles into their midst and quickly WEDS. THURS. FRI. SAT. SUN. finds himself ensnared in the Mar 15 Mar 16 Mar 17 Mar 18 Mar 19 8pm 7:30pm 7:30pm couple’s mischievous pastime.

prefers working side by side with student colleagues. “Many of my associates currently, and early adopters of ARO space, have been former students with whom I’ve built relationships,” he says.

Shunney’s ARO Gallery forges further alliances with the university by offering internships to History of Art & Visual Culture department students. The walls gleam with intriguing artworks, most of them framed oil paintings, digital prints, and lithographs by top UCSC art graduates.

“There are lots of blue-chip, mid-career artists with galleries,” Shunney says. “But my breakaway moment came when I decided to open a gallery for emerging artists.”

And not a gallery in the 20th-century sense, either. “My position is more of artist/curator producing shows. Historically I had been an installation artist, but now I feel like an environmental artist.”

The residential arena as art is another corollary to his current ARO workspace as gallery. “Now that I live downtown I have a fresh sense of the community,” he says.

Living in small confines, such as his current house, allows him to continue exploring “efficiency of space,” as an ongoing environmental artform. Yes, this man can make an artistic practice out of almost any spatial situation.

In addition to launching a broad concept gallery, Shunney is forming a set of rules for an artist-driven salon.

“Once a month,” he says. “My intention is to focus on the artist stepping outside his comfort zone and creating impromptu dialogue. A Fluxus kind of thing. The Salon Hour will be a project-driven encounter, as well as a great way to explore what people want.”

Even in a town full of art venues, ARO stands out in attracting outside and international perspectives. “I feel confident in my own taste as I’ve matured,” says Shunney. “I’m told I’m creating bridges between the campus and the community.”

IVAL FEST

artwork in the show, which stays up until March 31.

“Artists we’ve worked with in the past are the first ones we will be showcasing,” he says, showing me through the suite of workspaces, which printing staff share with handsomely framed artwork.

Described by Shunney as a mid-century flatiron building, 1025 Center St. gleams with polished interiors and innovative conversation alcoves—constructed and designed by Shunney—and most appealingly, with acres of wall space for evolving displays.

“The entry room is all gallery,” he explains, grinning. “A white cube with track lighting. Plus there are various offshoot rooms with great wall space.”

The alliance Shunney formed with Sentinel Printers several years ago has traveled neatly into the new Center Street gallery, whose trapezoidal-shaped front salon serves as the main gallery and focal point of First Friday receptions.

Shunney is a native of Rhode Island and did graduate work at the renowned Rhode Island School of Design. He honed his genius for space transformation working in New York on interior restoration. He paid for his undergraduate schooling at University of Massachusetts Amherst by painting and restoring industrial, residential and commercial venues in the summers.

“As a kid in Rhode Island, I was also very taken with extreme cultural innovations—I did breakdancing and skateboarding,” says Shunney.

That East Coast fervor is still evident in his intensity and visual sophistication. For the past five years his day job as assistant gallery director and manager at UCSC’s Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery, has provided ample opportunities to demonstrate his array of skills.

Longtime exhibition colleague Shelby Graham, director of the Sesnon Gallery, praises Shunney for his knack for mentoring. She notes that Shunney has created through ARO a place for art student alums to show their work locally and gain professional art world experience.

Why Lyrics Born’s fans funded an a greatest-hits album of songs they already had BY AARON CARNES

L

yrics Born has some passionate fans. Last year, the Berkeley rapper released his greatest hits album, a strange move for someone who is the textbook definition of left-ofcenter DIY indie rapper. What’s even weirder is that he funded the project via Kickstarter, meaning fans paid money—a total of $21,911—so he could compile songs from his existing catalog for this release. Let that sink in for a moment.

What might explain the fans’ exuberance is how fervently the emcee has throughout his 20-plus year career included them in the creative process.

For this greatest hits record, officially titled Now Look What You’ve Done, Lyrics Born! Greatest Hits, he took to social media to ask them what songs should be on it, scrapping some songs he would have included in favor of their choices. (“I make the songs, but the fans make them hits,” he says.)

As an indie artist, this greatest hits album has been a true milestone.

A couple of years ago, he would have thought that the idea of doing this was a corny, major-label-style money grab. But he came around to thinking that it made sense for him to show new fans—and remind old fans—of everything he’s accomplished.

“I was just thinking to myself, you know, I’ve got a lot of music out there,” says Lyrics Born, aka Tsutomu Shimura, over the phone. “There’s a generational change happening all the time in music. I’m getting to the point where I could probably be one of these new artist’s fathers. If there was ever time to do it, it was now.”

Analyzing Shimura’s entire career, it isn’t as odd as it first seemed that he’s focusing on his hits. Younger Lyrics Born fans might not realize it, but his national success came off the back of the unlikely 2003 hit “Calling Out.” At the time of its release, he’d been taking the song,

which was released off an indie label he co-owned called Quannum, to different hip-hop/R&B stations in the Bay Area. They all ignored it. It was SF alt-rock station Live 105 that started spinning the track. According to a 2004 East Bay Express article, it was the most requested song for four weeks straight. Shimura never reached out to anyone at Live 105.

“Here we were beating our heads against the wall to get it on urban rap radio, and the No. 3 rock station in the country takes this record and starts playing it. Suddenly it’s number one, along with Green Day,” Shimura says.

Shimura had the skills to take the success of “Calling Out” and make a career out of it. He’s built a career around several successful solo albums, and two with Latyrx, his duo with Lateef the Truthspeaker.

Listening to the greatest hits album, it’s surprising how well it works as a single work of art. Shimura’s distinctive sing-songy voice, bouncy funky beats and conscious verses keep the songs grounded.

As Shimura’s career advanced, he used less samples, and opted for live instrumentation more often than not.

On 2015’s Real People, he even flew out to work with New Orleans musicians, absorbing their sound.

When I ask him what songs he would have included were he not considering the fan’s feedback, he responds right away with “Whispers,” from his 2008 album Everywhere At Once.

“It’s probably the best song I’ve ever written,” Shimura says. “I can’t even listen to it, it’s so personal. But that’s not a chart topper. Again, that’s the difference between making a greatest hits album and an anthology.”

Whether or not these songs would have all been his picks, he heard many stories from fans about how important they had been to them in their lives. “When you get to a certain stage in your career, I’m putting my songs out, I have no idea how they affect people. I don’t get to participate in that,” Shimura says. “When I’d hear some of these stories, it’s like wow, I am actually helping people, even if it’s some small way.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND ISAAC AND THE HAZE

The original lineup of Isaac and the Haze didn’t have anyone named Isaac in the band—then again, it wasn’t called Isaac and the Haze yet, either.

There was a lot about the band that was very different in those early days.

In its earliest, pre-gig stages, it was a throwback deep-cuts soul cover band.

Then Isaac Tayrien joined the band as the lead singer, and by the time the band booked its first show as Isaac and the Haze, it had already scrapped the old soul sound for modern R&B, pop and hip-hop hits. The response has been great.

MARCH 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We wanted to play what the crowd wants to hear. What people want to hear are popular songs that get people out of their chairs and on the dance floor,” says bassist Kevin Enos.

“We do some Michael [Jackson], some Prince and stuff, really not going further back than that.”

38

They sometimes even do straight-up rap tunes—ones that have a soulful sound—or they’ll mash together a popular rap song with the original soul song they are sampling (Like Kendrick Lamar’s “I” which samples the Isley Brothers’ “Who’s That Lady”). That way, they can squeeze just a little bit of the old soul music into their set.

This all started when they heard the song “Feel Right” by Mark Ronson, which features rapping by Mystikal.

Enos volunteered to do the rapping.

“None of us had rapped before, other than some karaoke. I’ve been a fan of hip-hop since the ’90s. I thought I’d give it a try, and it sounded good,” Enos says. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, March 3. Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $6. 476-4560.

BRIDES OF CHICAGO

WEDNESDAY 3/1 FOLK

CHICKEN MAMA Chicken Mama is the moniker for local singer-songwriter Kasia Kugay, an SF transplant who was raised on Eastern European and world music. The daughter of Turkish and Polish immigrants, Kugay blends her musical heritage with elements of American jazz and R&B; the resultant folk is unique and intricately crafted, well-suited to Kugay’s deeply emotive voice, which ranges in scope from clear and bright to dramatic and sultry. Chicken Mama will be performing songs from her recently released EP, The Advocate, recorded in an old redwood tree in Nisene Marks.

THURSDAY 3/2 NEW ORLEANS/FUNK

REBIRTH BRASS BAND There’s no shortage of fantastic brass bands in New Orleans, but the Re-

birth Brass Band is a favorite among favorites. With deep grooves that don’t quit and rhythms that inspire parade-worthy rump-shaking from even the shyest of audience members, the band holds down the rich tradition of Crescent City funk and soul while its youthful exuberance introduces the sound to new generations. If you need to shake off the cobwebs or forget your worries, this Grammy-winning band will help you get it done.

FOLK

FERRON To lesbians of a certain generation or two, Ferron is a beloved kindred spirit—a master poet telling stories of our shared experiences better than anyone else. But the Canadian singer-songwriter’s fanbase doesn’t end there. Ferron appeals to anyone who finds comfort in embracing life as it is; beauty, struggles and all. Over decades of making music, she’s explored the joys and pain of being an outsider, while creating a space where everyone belongs. I was afraid that last time Ferron came to town might be her final Santa Cruz perfor-

mance, but, luckily she’s coming back for what promises to be a sing-along celebration of love, diversity and unity. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $27/adv, $32/door. 4272227.

FRIDAY 3/3 PSYCH-FOLK

GREAT AMERICAN CANYON BAND “Crash” sounds like a dream. It’s a potent track off Great American Canyon Band’s 2016 LP, Only You Remain. The duo, Paul and Krystal Jean Masson, who are partners in life as well as this band, sing “Don’t let me fall through, as I crash into you” in an almost hypnotic chant. The mood is tranquil yet oddly romantic, a fitting vibe to the twosome’s world-weary take on psych-Americana, with influences pulling equally from ’70s California folk-pop and middle America rustic roots rock. The band hails from Baltimore, but has spent years traveling and calling wherever its members lay their heads home for the night. The eclectic music reflects that. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

TUESDAY 3/7 FOLK Torn Screen Door, David Francey’s debut, is a nearly flawless folk record: haunting melodies with lyrics that perfectly evoke the plight of the working poor and the heartbreak of love. It shouldn’t be too shocking that Francey went out the gate with such a fantastic album—he was 45 when it was released, and these songs had been gestating for decades. Originally from Scotland, he moved to Canada as a teenager, and spent 20 years of his adult life working in construction.

Since transitioning to music, he’s become a star in folk circles, but remains relatively unknown to the rest of the world. It’s a shame. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel. $18/adv, $20/door. 477-1341.

Blues-rock collective Birds of Chicago is centered around founding vocalists Allison Russell and JT Nero. The group draws heavily on gospel tradition, producing a country-twang, rock ’n’ roll secular gospel that varies from soaring and joyful to raw melancholy. Power-vocalist Allison Russell’s simmering restraint is deeply refreshing to a landscape scorched by post American Idol vocal gymnastics and over-emoting. The band is touring its sophomore album, Real Midnight, released in mid-February and recorded by Grammy award winner Joe Henry. KS

ican roots music. They grew up to become musicians themselves, with bassist Chris going on to form avantjazz-funk band Medeski, Martin and Wood, and Oliver playing guitar in bluesman Tinsley Ellis’s touring act, among other things. In 2004, they joined forces with multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix to create the Wood Brothers, a boundary-pushing roots outfit that blends blues, folk and rock to create a sound that’s at once familiar and fresh.

A fixture of Bay Area hip-hop since the early ’90s, Andre Nickatina launched his career as Dre Dog, releasing two albums—The New Jim Jones and I Hate You With a Passion—under that moniker. The rapper then changed his name to Andre Nickatina and proceeded to drop numerous albums, including Cocaine Raps, Tears of a Clown and Daiquiri Factory: Cocaine Raps, Vol. 2, that have secured his place as a Bay Area legend. On March 11, Nickatina heads back to Santa Cruz for his annual birthday bash. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

FORBIDDEN LOVE Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo in ‘A United Kingdom,’ directed by Amma Asante.

MARCH 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Woman He Loved

44

Interracial union seeds change in ‘A United Kingdom’ BY LISA JENSEN

M

ost of us know the story of Edward VIII, the popular King of England in 1936 who gave up his throne for love. When his proposal to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson was deemed unsuitable and forbidden by the British government, he abdicated after one year of his reign, famously declaring he could not rule “without the woman I love.”

A decade later, another “scandalous” royal marriage shocked the British Parliament, as well as its African protectorate, the Kingdom of Botswana. A young African king-to-

be also chose an “unsuitable” bride, who was not only a commoner, and a foreigner, but the wrong color—a white Englishwoman. Their story, less well-known than Edward’s, is told in A United Kingdom, a timely love story for this historical moment, dealing as it does with issues of race, immigration, persistence, and revolution.

The film was directed by AngloAfrican filmmaker Amma Asante; her last movie, Belle, told the story of the abolition of slavery in the British West Indian colonies through the eyes of a young black woman raised

in gentility by her aristocratic English grandfather. In A United Kingdom, a similar story of political liberation— as Botswana slips out of the yoke of British colonialism—is made personal through the experiences of a protagonist with a foot in both worlds.

We first meet Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo), heir to the Kingdom of Botswana, as a university student in postwar London in 1947. The spirit of independence is in the air as Britain has just ceded its colonial rule of India. Seretse is discussing politics with his fellow African students at a dance one night when he meets Ruth

Williams (Rosamund Pike), who types documents at a government agency.

They talk about jazz: she says she doesn’t trust Englishmen to play it.

That night she goes home and looks up Botswana on a map. Next morning, he sends her a Louis Armstrong record. A romance begins.

Their relationship grows, until Seretse receives word from his uncle, acting as regent on his behalf, that it’s time to come home and assume leadership of his people. Unwilling to leave Ruth behind, he proposes marriage, and she accepts. The highest-ranking British diplomat posted to Botswana, Alistair Canning (played to oily perfection by Jack Davenport) quickly informs them the marriage is off, but Seretse and Ruth refuse to comply, and he takes her home to his kingdom.

The Brits are especially worried that Seretse’s mixed-race marriage will sour relations with their important ally, South Africa, which is just beginning to roll out apartheid, its vile program of separating the races.

Seretse and Ruth face many more obstacles—a period of forced separation, the looming specter of apartheid, and the evil machinations of British authorities less interested in governing Botswana than in stealing her resources. It’s a large canvas, but director Asante keeps it all comprehensible by maintaining her focus on the couple at its center.

It helps that Oyelowo (who also played Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma) and Pike infuse their roles with a natural, easy rapport based on humor and affection that keeps us rooting for them.

Asante sometimes resorts to standard-issue storytelling moments—the ridiculous pomp of a British official attempting to take over leadership of the council; women rallying around Ruth with a song of admiration. But these moments are effective because the story is so compelling. And so is the prevailing idea that an individual, sticking to his or her principles, is the first step toward effective change.

A UNITED KINGDOM *** (out of four) With David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike, Jack Davenport, and Tom Felton. Written by Guy Hibbert. Directed by Amma Asante. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated PG-13. 111 minutes.

Godzilla headquarters. And across the street, Zameen has opened another dining spot filled with zesty Mediterranean specialties, happily called Zameen at the Point.

I met my longtime singing buddy Meri for lunch at Kaito last week.

It was my first visit, but Meri is a regular and helped walk me through the noodle-intensive menu. A raised tatami seating area hugs one wall of Kaito’s interior, and a sushi bar flanks the other, with banquettes in the middle of this friendly, no-frills

house of ramen, soba, udon and freshly conceived sushi specialties.

The menu offered me a galaxy of noodles, with variations on toppings and a few standard sides.

The dinner menu adds grilled items plus small-dish salads. I had to dive in somewhere, so I did! My Ja-ja Ramen ($11.95) arrived in a bowl the size of a hot tub, filled with fragrant miso broth and succulent, chewy ramen noodles.

Here was ramen worthy of the name, definitely not the noodles I

used to inhale mindlessly at college while struggling to analyze Kant’s transcendental deduction. On top of the quivering mass of steaming goodness perched a mound of steamed cabbage and bean sprouts, green onions and a generous helping of minced, spiced pork. The freshly chopped toppings sparkled like green jewels and I ate steadily for 25 minutes without putting a dent in this astonishing portion of ramen.

Meri’s order of Tonkatsu ramen ($10.95) was almost as generous. Filled with ramen suspended in a pork-rich broth, her noodles were topped with beautifully arranged groupings of red pickled onions, black mushrooms, corn, barbecued pork, and chopped seaweed. We had ordered tiny sides of gyoza (fried pot stickers) stuffed with minced chicken ($2), and another of vegetable tempura ($3).

I was captivated by a thin slab of carrot, cocooned in the lightest, most transparent of tempura batters.

I found myself eyeing an intriguing order at the next table. “That’s the Japanese curry,” Meri informed me, her son’s favorite. It was one of those earthy plates of chicken and vegetables in a curry gravy, with a plump cake of white rice on the side, that makes you smile just to look at. I’ve got to try that, I nodded, still slurping the addictive ramen.

Carrying two huge containers of remaining ramen, we headed out into the sunny afternoon.

Kaito is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday. 830 41st Ave., Santa Cruz. 464-2586.

La Honda Winery An artisan Sauvignon Blanc from the Santa Cruz Mountains BY JOSIE COWDEN

L

ocated in Redwood City, the gem that is La Honda Winery is well worth a visit. Often called “a best-kept secret,” whose clients love to surprise their guests with “uniquely charming atmosphere and delicious artisan wines,” it’s only open to the public on certain dates, as the facility is used mostly for private and corporate parties, team building, charity events, wine tastings, cooking parties, winemaker dinners, and so on. Owner and general manager David Page oversees La Honda Winery and its 50 private estate vineyards between Hillsborough and Los Gatos.

One of La Honda’s artisan wines is the 2015 Santa Cruz Mountains Sauvignon Blanc. La Honda’s winemaker, Colin McNany, got everything right in this handnurtured wine with delectable aromas of passionfruit, papaya, star fruit, and melon—and its citrus fruit and floral notes combine for an enticingly crisp and dry wine. On the palate, the wine has a full impact and clean fruit purity balanced by a slight minerality, says McNany, adding that this wine should be drunk now as it’s not meant for aging.

Rounding up the team at La Honda

are Thayer Dunwoody, vineyard manager, and Ken Wornick, vineyard consultant, who I first met at the long-gone Vinocruz wine shop nearly a decade ago.

La Honda wines are available all over, including local New Leaf stores, Whole Foods, The Fish Lady in Soquel, Deluxe Foods in Aptos, and at restaurants such as Café Mare and Café Cruz. I bought this Sauvignon Blanc at the Summit Store in Los Gatos for about $16.

The next date La Honda is open to the public is March 18, so put that date on your calendar if you want to pay this fun place a visit. It’s a small, fast-growing winery that has won “double golds and gold galore” from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. They are also members of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association and participate in Passport events. The next Passport is April 15, but check La Honda’s website for info.

La Honda Winery is open the third Saturday of every month from noon to 4 p.m. and for special events. Located at 2645 Fair Oaks Ave., Redwood City.

THAT’S NUTS Proven Probiotic Coconut Yogurt utilizes top probiotics. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Cultural Shift

Coconut yogurt takes a different approach to probiotics BY LILY STOICHEFF

A

It’s the best yogurt I’ve ever had.

Easy to love on its own, it’s also great sprinkled with cocoa nibs or fresh fruit. Heissel says some customers wait a week or so for the yogurt to naturally get tangier, and then use it like sour cream. “We’re always inspired by the creativity of how our customers use our product,” he says with a smile. Just don’t heat it up—doing so would kill the living cultures.

More than 70 percent of our immune system is in the gut, and consuming a variety of probiotic bacteria strains, like those occurring naturally in fermented foods, has been proven in multiple scientific studies to support overall health.

What sets this coconut yogurt apart is that from the thousands of bacteria strains found in fermented foods, it includes only the highest quality of probiotic strains with the most proven results. While the $22 for 16 oz. price tag will shock some, Heissel insists that because just 2 oz. is enough to experience gut health support, it’s worth the nutritive value.

As he puts it, “It’s either an expensive yogurt or an affordable supplement.”

A tasting will be held at Westside New Leaf on Sunday, March 4 from 2 to 5 p.m. Available at Staff of Life and Westside and Felton New Leaf Markets.

s Santa Cruz-based Living Cultures Superfoods founder Arne Heissel explains the meticulous journey he and his wife Constanze have endured to create their Proven Probiotic Coconut Yogurt, I think to myself: leave it to the Swiss.

This yogurt is a powerhouse, a healing superfood packed with probiotics, aka living cultures that support a healthy microbiome and prebiotics, which are food for probiotics. The Heissels spent months sourcing pure coconut without shelfstabilizing additives, which they fermented with scientifically proven strains of good gut bacteria, keeping a critical eye on taste and texture.

The result of their effort is a blend that he says, “Gives all the same benefits of a high-quality supplement in a real food.” Plus it’s free of dairy, additives, stabilizers, sweeteners, or anything else anyone may want to avoid.

But, as Heissel notes, none of this would matter if it wasn’t delicious.

And it is. It’s so good. I can’t stop thinking about dipping my spoon into that luxurious, coconut-y goodness. With the thick creaminess and gentle tang of Greek yogurt and the sweet fruitiness of coconut, it’s far yummier than cow’s milk yogurt.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST

Throughout history humanity has created rituals and celebrations that reflect the different seasons. The rituals mirror, indicate and signify the different aspects of light and dark, allowing humanity to maintain a rhythm with nature, the heavens, past, present and future and with each other. Lent (from “lencten”—when days lengthen), just before spring, is one of those ritual times. Lent begins this Wednesday. Lent is 40 days and 40 nights of purification preparing us for spring, Easter, resurrection, and the Aries Spring Festival.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, a ritual of reminding us that we are spiritual beings clothed (temporarily) in form and matter. The Ash Wednesday ritual—the priest places a cross of ashes (made from burned palms) on the forehead (Ajna center, third eye, place of spiritual direction) of parishioners while saying

the words, “From dust thou art (you were made) and unto dust thou shalt return.”

These words remind us that the body, made of matter, will return to the Earth. However, within our body (within each cell) the Spirit of God dwells—the spark of Life, the Light of Life, the Pisces Light, that saves the world. During Lent, preparing for the new life of spring, we cleanse, purify, change habits, and prepare to make ourselves new.

Thursday Jupiter opposes Uranus (Libra/Aries).

Oppositions tell us things new and expansive are appearing and we must not resist, but accept and integrate them. They are the new Aquarian energies coming forth, the template of the new world. We are told those who resist will be left behind. Venus turns stationary retrograde early Saturday morning, retrograding through April 15. More on Lent and Venus retrograde next week.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You begin to look at your professional and social self, abilities and successes in different and more powerful ways. This will have a long time effect in your life. People around you also see a difference. A capacity of healing comes forth and you achieve what you have hoped and wished and worked hard for. You will be responsible for the collective transformation of the world at some time.

For now, you’re in training.

There is a transforming quality that occurs when we nurture ourselves. The ability to nurture others unfolds.

But first we must feel cared for and nurtured within the self. You’re very able to provide the nurturing you need and tend to your wounds (feelings of not being nurtured). Then you’re able to offer nurturing towards others (family, friends, home). You can “build a lighted house for all to dwell in and to be nourished.”

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

New ideas, philosophies, journeys, cultures all become important. Some Taureans consider moving to a simpler way of life. Some consider a monastery. And others to a place of higher learning. Some become teachers and professors of philosophies that support the new culture and civilization and future communities. Step into your visions. They are your future.

Your communication has been transforming self and others and it will continue. New and innovative thinking and ideas flow through your mind, into your communication and they change all those around you.

There will be a capacity to disseminate information that supports a personal—then a collective—transformation.

You, having been silent, hidden and quiet, actually become the communicator.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of March 1, 2017

GEMINI May 22–June 20 It is good to make a study of life’s transitions, of death, the bardos, rebirth, reincarnation and all that occurs when we have completed a life on Earth. Understanding life after death has a lasting and hopeful effect on daily lives. Realizing there actually is no death, but only a continuation of life in a different realm. A good book to review is The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche.

A transformation on how you perceive other people and the world around you is occurring. There’s a new sensitivity and the need to have deeper interactions and cultivate new associations. As you do this more and more those you allow into your life will begin to recognize you as valuable and as a mentor. You are to assist in the collective evolution of all of humanity. Cancer is the womb that nurtures all new life. You become a “relater.”

GREAT FUTURES START HERE

You recognize new levels of awareness concerning your health and well-being, ways to better live daily life and how to serve yourself first in order to then turn and adequately serve others. It’s important to rise with the dawn’s light, to stand in the morning and evening light.

It’s also important when one eats, what one eats, and the pure water one drinks in order to keep the body functioning electrically. Then healing occurs.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Security and material wealth are important powerful themes in your life. Your world is often seen through the lens of these two needs. It’s important now and in times to come to secure, maintain and expand your resources so that you have a safe future. It’s important to use your resources to expand the collective, to provide for not only yourself but also those in need. You become the gift giver. Think precious metals.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 A new identity, a new perception of self, perhaps even your appearance and how you present yourself to the world is slowly changing and will have long and lasting effects. Capricorns are constantly in leadership training.

Presently there’s a deep and profound self-development, a sense of personal power and a taking control of one’s life. Eventually all things hidden within emerge into the light of day.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It’s important to take care of your health each day. To follow all laws and obey all rules. It’s good to pursue yoga, prayer and meditation, offer acts of goodwill at all times, forgive and ask for forgiveness, be kind and develop compassion. Prepare for a cycle of change to occur and remember to value the spiritual essence of each individual.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

What creativity means for you and your ability to bring your creative self forth is important for you now. It’s essential to visualize and to know its value. Visualization is in reality the etheric externalization of our creative imagination. Ponder upon this statement. You are to identify yourself as creative and to share all creations and inspirations with the various kingdoms around you.

You are their inspiration.

There is a need to focus on one’s hopes, wishes and dreams. You feel the need for community, for friendships wide and deep and spacious. An unexpected change has occurred in relationship to friends, groups and colleagues. You seek to transform the world in ways not thought of before. Create a journal of ideas. Move forward on these impressions. Ask for help implementing them. All that we ask for, appears. Eventually.

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.
