OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE

MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

I’ve long puzzled over the dampening effect Santa Cruz seems to have on the success of our biggest artistic talents.

It’s ridiculous how many great bands have reached a pinnacle of popularity locally, and then struggled to get any recognition at a national level. And music is only the most obvious example—I’ve seen the same troubles dog local dancers, writers, actors, directors and everything else. It’s hard to “make it” anywhere, no doubt, but there’s something weird about this phenomenon. It’s like the geography of Santa Cruz somehow cuts off our biggest fish from finding a larger pond.

It’s an entirely different problem, however, when success is there for the taking, and the artist in question flat out doesn’t want it. That’s what happened when Soquel publisher

Steve Kettmann approached local poet Peter McLaughlin about releasing a book of his poetry. For many poets, that would be a dream come true.

But at the last minute, McLaughlin backed out, saying he didn’t feel like he could handle it.

Last month, McLaughlin took his own life. As Kettmann writes in our cover story this week, he was devastated, both from the loss of someone for whom he cared, and the knowledge that McLaughlin’s incredible talent had gone unheralded outside of the following he had built performing at open mics locally.

This story can only right one of those wrongs, but I’m glad to have this opportunity to publish the work of “Pete the Poet,” and Kettmann’s tribute to him. I also had the good fortune to meet McLaughlin’s close friend Ulli Wagner, who asked me to let readers know that there will be a memorial for him at 3 p.m. on June 3, at 452 Palm St. in Santa Cruz. I hope to see you there.

Another fascinating look at the Santa Cruz-Hawaii connection by our fine local historian Geoffrey Dunn. It’s also important for Americans to remember that Hawaii was annexed (i.e., stolen) from the indigenous Hawaiians in 1898 by a joint resolution of Congress—no treaty, no compensation for the theft of their land, their culture, and their human rights. Just another instance of U.S. domination stemming from the greed of the bankers and corporations, aka the 1 percent.

FLUFFY, FLUFFY KIDS Melvin, replace the words “pets/dog” in your letter of 4/26 with the words “kids/ child.” That is what my pets are, my kids.

I have no human children and I vote and pay taxes for the places mentioned in your letter. Would you confine your kids to your house/yard and not allow them to socialize with other kids? I find your comments regarding my kids to be both offensive and selfish. Just as there are irresponsible parents with human children, there are also irresponsible pet owners. The answer to your concerns is to hold these irresponsible parents accountable. Not to

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: DOGS AND PARKS Being a frequent visitor to your area, I have enjoyed your Good Times publication for many years. I agree with Melvin’s letter from the 4-26-17 edition: A pet’s place is in your yard or in your home. I just returned home after a wonderful visit to Aptos and feel the need to share a warning to beachgoing folks. While walking on the beach I was rammed behind the knee by a golden retriever running full force. I stumbled to save myself from a fall (I am 63 years old) and am fortunate enough not to have sustained an injury. The next day I was lying on the beach and was run over, ending up with sandy dog prints on my back, sand in my face and sand all over my towel. Both dog owners did say “sorry” in passing, with no great concern. During a previous visit, I was sitting on driftwood on the beach and a dog ran up and lifted his leg—I ran! I have always loved the beach and have enjoyed being a tourist in this area, however I would appreciate it if pet owners would please keep their dogs on a leash.

How important is work?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

I value work that is meaningful to me and meaningful to my community. So if I’m doing work that is just for a paycheck, it wears on me.

GINA PRAISI SANTA CRUZ | AYURVEDIC STUDENT

I’m kind of a workaholic.

JAMES HILL SANTA CRUZ | TILE SETTER

It's about your work ethic.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 10 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

The process by which Zoo Jeans are manufactured is unusual. First, workers wrap and secure sheets of denim around car tires or big rubber balls, and take their raw creations to the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City, Japan. There the denim-swaddled objects are thrown into pits where tigers or lions live. As the beasts roughhouse with their toys, they rip holes in the cloth.

Later, the material is retrieved and used to sew the jeans. Might this story prove inspirational for you in the coming weeks? I suspect it will. Here’s one possibility: You could arrange for something wild to play a role in shaping an influence you will have an intimate connection with.

Will sex be humdrum and predictable in the coming weeks? No! On the contrary. Your interest in wandering out to the frontiers of erotic play could rise quite high.

You may be animated and experimental in your approach to intimate communion, whether it’s with another person or with yourself. Need any suggestions? Check out the “butterflies-in-flight” position or the “spinning wheel of roses” maneuver. Try the “hum-and-chuckle kissing dare” or the “churning radiance while riding the rain cloud” move. Or just invent your own variations and give them funny names that add to the adventure.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

Right now the word “simplicity” is irrelevant. You’ve got silky profundities to play with, slippery complications to relish, and lyrical labyrinths to wander around in. I hope you use these opportunities to tap into more of your subterranean powers. From what I can discern, your deep dark intelligence is ready to provide you with a host of fresh clues about who you really are and where you need to go. P.S.: You can become better friends with the shadows without compromising your relationship to the light.

“Kiss the flame and it is yours,” teased the poet Thomas Lux. What do you think he was hinting at? It’s a metaphorical statement, of course. You wouldn’t want to literally thrust your lips and tongue into a fire. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you might benefit from exploring its meanings. Where to begin? May I suggest you visualize making out with the steady burn at the top of a candle? My sources tell me that doing so at this particular moment in your evolution will help kindle a new source of heat and light in your deep self—a fresh fount of glowing power that will burn sweet and strong like a miniature sun.

GEMINI May21–June20 Your symbol of power during the next three weeks is a key. Visualize it. What picture pops into your imagination? Is it a bejeweled golden key like what might be used to access an old treasure chest? Is it a rustic key for a garden gate or an oversized key for an ornate door? Is it a more modern thing that locks and unlocks car doors with radio waves? Whatever you choose, Gemini, I suggest you enshrine it in as an inspirational image in the back of your mind. Just assume that it will subtly inspire and empower you to find the metaphorical “door” that leads to the next chapter of your life story.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

You are free to reveal yourself in your full glory. For once in your life, you have cosmic clearance to ask for everything you want without apology. This is the LATER you have been saving yourself for. Here comes the reward for the hard work you’ve been doing that no one has completely appreciated. If the universe has any prohibitions or inhibitions to impose, I don’t know what they are. If old karma has been preventing the influx of special dispensations and helpful X-factors, I suspect that old karma has at least temporarily been neutralized.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. “I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” In my opinion, that may be one of the most radical vows ever formulated. Is it even possible for us human beings to gracefully manage our unruly flow of feelings? What you do in the coming weeks could provide evidence that the answer to that question might be yes. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you are now in a position to learn more about this high art than ever before.

Africa’s highest mountain is Mount Kilimanjaro. Though it’s near the equator, its peak is covered year-round with glaciers. In 2001, scientists predicted that global warming would melt them all by 2015. But that hasn’t happened. The ice cap is still receding slowly. It could endure for a while, even though it will eventually disappear. Let’s borrow this scenario as a metaphor for your use, Virgo. First, consider the possibility that a certain thaw in your personal sphere isn’t unfolding as quickly as you anticipated. Second, ruminate on the likelihood that it will, however, ultimately come to pass. Third, adjust your plans accordingly.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 You can bake your shoes in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, but that won’t turn them into loaves of bread.

Know what I’m saying, Sagittarius? Just because a chicken has wings doesn’t mean it can fly over the rainbow. Catch my drift? You’ll never create a silk purse out of dental floss and dead leaves. That’s why I offer you the following advice: In the next two weeks, do your best to avoid paper tigers, red herrings, fool’s gold, fake news, Trojan horses, straw men, pink elephants, convincing pretenders, and invisible bridges. There’ll be a reward if you do: close encounters with shockingly beautiful honesty and authenticity that will be among your most useful blessings of 2017.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Of all the signs of the zodiac, you Capricorns are the least likely to believe in mythical utopias like Camelot or El Dorado or Shambhala. You tend to be uber-skeptical about the existence of legendary vanished riches like the last Russian czar’s Fabergé eggs or King John’s crown jewels. And yet if wonderlands and treasures like those really do exist, I’m betting that some may soon be discovered by Capricorn explorers. Are there unaccounted-for masterpieces by Georgia O’Keeffe buried in a basement somewhere? Is the score of a lost Mozart symphony tucked away in a seedy antique store? I predict that your tribe will specialize in unearthing forgotten valuables, homing in on secret miracles, and locating missing mother lodes.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 According to my lyrical analysis of the astrological omens, here are examples of the kinds of experiences you might encounter in the next 21 days: 1. interludes that reawaken memories of the first time you fell in love; 2. people who act like helpful, moon-drunk angels just in the nick of time; 3. healing music or provocative art that stirs a secret part of you—a sweet spot you had barely been aware of; 4. an urge arising in your curious heart to speak the words, “I invite lost and exiled beauty back into my life.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Ex-baseball player Eric DuBose was pulled over by Florida cops who spotted him driving his car erratically.

They required him to submit to a few tests, hoping to determine whether he had consumed too much alcohol.

“Can you recite the alphabet?” they asked. “I’m from the great state of Alabama,” DuBose replied, “and they have a different alphabet there.” I suggest, Pisces, that you try similar gambits whenever you find yourself in odd interludes or tricky transitions during the coming days— which I suspect will happen more than usual. Answer the questions you want to answer rather than the ones you’re asked, for example. Make jokes that change the subject. Use the powers of distraction and postponement. You’ll need extra slack, so seize it!

What Is the REAL Difference Between Mortgage Brokers, Banks and Mortgage Bankers?

Q: I found your explanation of undisclosed profits made by some lenders to be enlightening! Can you elaborate on the differences between brokers, banks and bankers? What about Dodd-Frank in relation to mortgage lending?

A: Dodd-Frank was written with good intentions, but it left banks and mortgage bankers free to continue many abusive and unethical practices that led to the mortgage meltdown.

Save 10% on all Rowe and Robin Bruce orders May 11-31

Somehow the banks came out unscathed, along with big Wall Street firms, who I believe were the major cause and definitely the biggest profiteers in the mortgage meltdown, and with certain “advantages” at the expense of consumers. Check out The Big Short to get the context. AND these questionable banks and firms managed to lobby Dodd-Frank legislation to punish everyone but the most guilty entities—leaving banks and mortgage bankers with loopholes bad for consumers.

With Dodd-Frank, mortgage brokers are heavily regulated and monitored and held to disclosure standards that are NOT required for big banks and mortgage bankers. This legislation spawned new “net-branch” mortgage banking companies who offer brokers the ability to act as bankers, skirt disclosure requirements and charge higher and hidden fees without disclosing their gross profit.

Brokers, who fund loans through wholesale mortgage bankers and retail mortgage banks, including the “net branch” companies, go through the same underwriting process to fund loans that are packaged according to universal guidelines. The process of application, disclosure and funding is similar, however broker disclosures strictly outline FOR THE CONSUMER, every fee or lender credit collected and disclosures from banks and mortgage bankers DO NOT BREAK OUT THEIR COMPENSATION OR SHOW CREDITS OR PREMIUMS THEY’RE PAID TO SELL HIGHER INTEREST RATES TO UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS.

RE: COMMUNITY CHOICE ENERGY I manage the Clean Power Exchange (CPX) program for the Center for Climate Protection.

The CPX program tracks Community Choice development throughout California.

On the CPX site, you will find an interactive map that shows the 26 out of the 58 counties and more than 300 cities that are either operational or pursuing Community Choice.

There are now seven, soon to be eight, operational agencies in the state.

I am interested in knowing if you have a citation or source for the assertion that MBCP will be enrolling customers this summer: “Starting this summer, MBCP will

automatically enroll residents.”

My understanding is that the JPA is still being formed and the IP has not been completed or certified by the CPUC. The full formation of the JPA and a certified IP are required in order to begin automatic enrollment, so I am scratching my head here.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

— WOODY HASTINGS

Ardy Raghian responds: Thank you for your question, and for the work you do to help protect our planet. I received the enrollment information from Virginia Johnson, the project manager for MBCP. She told me via phone call that they’re going to start enrolling customers late summer 2017, into the fall and winter.

HEALTHY ROLE MODELS Graduates of the Breakthrough Men’s Community program report a range of benefits, including improved relationships with their children.

Male Call Longtime men’s education and support program comes to Santa Cruz County BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE the way we’re raised, there is a lot of distrust in other men.”

A major tenet of the program, says Fitz, is that men need the support of other men to heal and regain the humanity that has often been socialized out of them.

Another emphasis of the program is that experiencing emotions is a good thing, and it seeks to emulsify the oil-and-water-like relationship between vulnerability and traditional male culture.

“Most men coming to Breakthrough are facing a big life challenge, but many others aren’t in crisis and are just looking for deeper meanings, meaningful friendships, and a sense of community,” says Fitz, who emphasizes that Breakthrough

isn’t geared just to men who may feel broken in some way. “At Breakthrough, we believe every man can benefit from the program.”

Fitz says program graduates include men from all walks of life— their backgrounds, educational and occupational pedigrees are as diverse as their various ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations. He says the average attendee is between 40 and 45 years old, but adds that there have been graduates as young as 18, all the way up to men in their 70s.

Fitz says that participants of Breakthrough usually find it to be a very compelling, profound experience. He says that the most common feedback he hears from graduates is that Breakthrough “saved

n 1987, counselor and teacher of nonviolent communication Fred Jealous founded a men’s education and support program called Breakthrough Men’s Community with just himself and six others in the Monterey area. Thirty years and 2,000 graduates later, the program continues to expand, and will soon be offered in Santa Cruz for the first time.

“Fred had a strong belief that the way men are raised in this culture is damaging,” says Breakthrough executive director Chris Fitz, who graduated the program five years ago. “We are brought up to believe that boys must sacrifice their humanity to be ‘real men,’ and that the only way to relate to other men is to compete with them. Because of

my life, saved my marriage, saved my relationship with my kids, or helped me through a painful divorce.”

A 2008 Blue Shield study on Breakthrough confirmed these sentiments, finding that the word “transformative” best described the Breakthrough experience, and that 91 percent of survey respondents used the words “enormous” or “considerable” to describe the impact that Breakthrough had on their lives.

But such transformation comes with a level of time commitment that sets Breakthrough apart from other programs of its kind. The program is 34 weeks long, which is broken up into two 17-week sessions. Each of these sessions has 14 evening classes, two all-day Saturday courses, and one weekend retreat. Most of the work is done in small groups, where participants learn to put the lessons into action.

“Practice makes perfect, and it takes time to rewire the neural pathways so we can live our lives differently,” says Fitz. He emphasizes the importance of taking one’s time and going slowly, providing men with the support to practice things like affirmations, identifying triggers with issues like anger addiction, and taking time and space to contemplate and reflect.

Breakthrough is a nonprofit organization, and tuition is done on a sliding scale. “No willing participant has ever been turned away for financial reasons in 30 years,” Fitz says. About 40 percent of Monterey participants are referred by their therapists, with the other 60 percent being referred by word-ofmouth. Fitz adds that many of these referrals are given by women, who, he says, have a more instinctual understanding of the benefits a support community can provide. A similar program called Breakfree was subsequently created for women.

“Women get right away what we’re all about,” says Fitz.

NEWS WILD’S PLAY After hiatus, Monterey Bay Youth Outdoor Day expands with extra day

MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY CALVIN MEN

When she was a child growing up in Santa Cruz County, Elyse Destout remembers playing outside until the sun went down.

But for most kids, that era has passed.

The prevalence of smartphones, tablets and technology created a culture of children focused on LCD screens and social media—a shift Destout, now 39 and a mom herself, couldn’t help but notice Neither could Russel Maridon, a member of the Santa Cruz County Fish & Wildlife Commission who knew Destout through her work as a photographer.

“We all saw these young people so addicted to these devices they wouldn’t even look up to say hello to people in the room,” Destout says.

That problem pushed Maridon to found Monterey Bay Outdoor Youth Day in 2010, and recruit Destout to help organize it. The summit at Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds reintroduces children to outdoor activities through hands-on experience, drawing about 2,000 people on a Saturday every May. The events have featured everything from archery ranges to short surfing lessons. This year, organizers have expanded it, adding an extra day on Friday in partnership with schools across the county.

Soquel Elementary School is sending both its third-grade classes to the Friday event.

“Not all of our kids have access to some of the things she’s presenting to us,” Principal Gerri Fippin says, noting that English is a second language for about 40 percent of the school’s population. “It’s a great opportunity for us.”

With six schools sending roughly 300 elementary and high school students to attend Friday, there is still plenty of room to grow in the coming years. Destout, whose children went to Soquel Elementary, says email and Facebook feedback over the years encouraging her to expand it to a weekday.

The event has skewed toward younger children in the past, but Destout worked with organizations this year to broaden the appeal. Representatives from participating organizations hope to talk to teens >16

The Rest of the Story City’s comprehensive homeless report takes a countywide look at reducing suffering BY JACOB PIERCE

T

he biggest takeaway from the Homeless Coordinating Committee recommendations assembled by Santa Cruz Assistant City Manager Tina Shull can be summed up in four words: “Let’s do this together.”

Several of the report’s 20 suggestions involve pooling resources with Santa Cruz County Health Services Agency or strengthening partnerships with neighboring cities. While the long report gets deeper into nitty-gritty details than previous policy documents, the overarching theme is a familiar one: one small local government cannot do everything on its own.

The same sentiment came up five years ago, when three city councilmembers fired off some suggested changes to public safety and homeless approaches after the stabbing of Shannon Collins on Broadway. A similar discussion ignited with the city’s Public Safety Task Force recommendations two years later, followed by the formation of the Bob Lee PACT program and the “All In” plan in 2015 to end homelessness locally, just to name a few examples.

But putting these collaborative ideas into practice takes time, patience and creativity.

“It’s a big undertaking, and if

there’s a shortcoming, it’s that our systems aren’t always integrated,” Shull admits.

One of the higher-profile ideas to come out of the new report is a suggested navigation center for Santa Cruz, similar to one in San Francisco. There, a welcoming onestop center offers rehabilitation, employment services, shelter and more, all under one roof.

Starting last year, a committee made up of three city councilmembers dove head first into researching for this document, trying to discard all preconceived notions about a homeless population that accounts for >14

NEWS THE REST OF THE STORY <12 0.72 percent of the county’s 274,000 residents—as well as what it would take to fix the problem.

“A lot of the debate around homelessness seems to come from people whose feet are firmly set in cement when it comes to what should and shouldn’t happen,” says Councilmember Richelle Noroyan, who served on the group with Mayor Cynthia Chase and former Councilmember Pamela Comstock, whose term has since ended.

Noroyan concedes she went into the committee believing that the county did not need any more services. Some critics have derided city leaders for years for, as they saw it, practically laying out a mat for a transient population.

But the report—which Noroyan and Chase submitted to the City Council for review a few days ago— suggests that isn’t the case. The county does rank fourth statewide in homeless individuals per capita, behind Mendocino County (where the homeless account for 1 percent

of the population), Humboldt County and San Francisco. And yet Santa Cruz County only ranks 32nd in sufficiency of shelter beds, out of 58 counties. Its rate of unsheltered homeless—69 percent, according to the 2015 Homeless Census and Survey—is in step with the other California communities that the committee looked at.

That’s no surprise to former Mayor Don Lane, who spent much of his time in office fighting homelessness during his terms on the council.

“Not having enough services is not going to scare people away,” says Lane, who has read the committee’s recommendations and feels encouraged by them. “And we’ve always been startlingly behind on emergency shelter.”

The report does not break down a similar comparison of non-shelter services, like counseling, rehab or soup kitchens, but Shull thinks Santa Cruz ranks somewhere in the middle when it comes to other services, too. And the committee members based many of their recommendations on things other

communities are doing that they felt Santa Cruz could learn from.

The report finds that homeless individuals ended up costing $440,000 last year to the city’s public works department, $780,000 to the parks department and an estimated $14.8 million each year to the police. Economic development leaders report that homelessness has a major impact on local businesses, and the Santa Cruz County Business Council plans to release survey data of its members on this topic later this month.

Mayor Chase says homelessness creates a lot of suffering, not only for people without a safe place to sleep, but also for people who don’t feel safe going to the park or shopping downtown.

Just how unsafe are the homeless, though?

There’s a link between transients and property crime, although it would be easy to overstate. Chase says the connection between the homeless population and property crime is a correlation that’s attributable to drug addiction. >18

NEWS BRIEFS MATTERS OF COURSE When was the last time a school protest or occupation met its specific goals within days of setting up?

Two days into UCSC students’ occupation of the school’s administrative Kerr Hall building, the Afrikan/Black Student Alliance (A/BSA) conceded to the group’s demands—for instance, that they protect housing for African Americans at the Rosa Parks AfricanAmerican Themed House (RPAATH), paint the outside of it, and also create a lounge on the first floor of the house.

Chancellor George Blumenthal also agreed to begin holding mandatory diversity education for incoming students.

A couple days later, the New York Civil Rights Coalition

sent a letter to Blumenthal questioning the decision, and demanding answers by the end of spring quarter.

The inquiry came from the nonprofit’s director, Michael Meyers, a Huffington Post contributor, who in his public musings is sometimes thoughtprovoking and sometimes a bit confusing. Meyers, also a frequent civil rights expert for Fox News, questioned if the RPAATH house amounted to “funding racial separatism on campus.”

The letter offers pointed questions about the RPAATH house, and the new diversity training. It asks the UCSC administrators if they’ve “made expressly clear that all housing and facilities within its housing and on its campus are open,” regardless of race or identity.

The letter also contains some

typos—at one point referring to the school as “UCSD.” Reached via email, UCSC spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason doubled down on RPAATH being open to all students. He also affirmed the school’s commitment to accommodating interested people who enroll in RPAATH housing—as well as its guarantee to those who qualify, including first-generation college students and the economically disadvantaged.

STAYING TUNED Rachel Goodman, a leader of Media Watch’s grassroots local efforts, says the campaign to fund a new station isn’t over yet. Although the coalition has raised only $85,000 toward a $300,000 goal, the crew has decided to let their earnings ride—extending a fundraiser

that was officially scheduled to wrap up at the end of April through June.

“We have some really good leads,” Goodman says. “I think our team just wanted to check in at that point.”

The group got a phone call a few days ago, Goodman says, from a deep-pocketed fan of the former KUSP who now lives out of the area and can write a large check all at once.

She adds that their diehard radio fan club has confirmed with the signal’s owners that they are still looking to sell.

If people were to ask for money back now, the nonprofit would honor that, although no one has, and Goodman doesn’t think they will just yet.

“Every time we get an emotional boost,” she says, “we can keep going.” JACOB PIERCE

BOARD OF EDUCATION A girl receives a stand-up paddleboard lesson at the 2015 Monterey Bay Youth Outdoor Day, which began in 2010.

WILD’S PLAY <12 about internship and career opportunities in their fields.

The first event in 2010 featured sailing, archery, hunting, bicycling and a host of other outdoor activities, with a goal of inspiring and introducing young attendees to all aspects of being outdoors in the Monterey Bay area. Since then, it has grown to include messages of sustainability, environmental stewardship and civic engagement as groups like Coastal Watershed Council, Pajaro Valley Water District and Watsonville Police Assistance Board signed on.

“In the beginning, it was very sportsdriven,” Destout says. “Now we have both the sports aspect with the healthy living, sustainable living and the conversation.”

Part of the evolution meant recruiting teens to help develop and organize the event.

“The goal really is that I want all of this to be created by young people because it’s a youth event,” she says. “My goal is that if we can get kids excited about this kind of stuff, then they will be able to plan things. They're going to be taking care of us one day.”

Among the early recruits was 19-year-old Sabrina Waldie, who started as a 16-year-old volunteer. She stuck with the organization

in part because of her younger siblings and cousins and fondly remembers her five-yearold cousin learning to garden and care for plants at Monterey Bay Youth Outdoor Day. “It helps little kids explore different sports and things they can start getting into,” says Waldie, who’s studying at Cabrillo College. “It might help them when they’re older.

Maridon, the event’s founder, recruited Destout leading up to the inaugural event, since both felt the same about children’s relationship to technology. “Nowadays, it’s like pulling teeth to tell kids to go outside,” Destout says.

The event went on hiatus in 2016 because of shortages in funding. Destout

aims to ramp up fundraising efforts this year through other events, including a potential zombie run in the fall. The annual event’s budget runs between $10,000$15,000. While Destout applied for grants in the past and sent letters to businesses asking for donations, she knows the event’s future is tied to expanding fundraising.

“If we are going to continue to do two days in the future,” she says, “the fundraising efforts have to be a lot more.”

Monterey Bay Youth Outdoor Day will be from 10 to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. The event is free and open to the public.

NEWS THE REST OF THE STORY <14 “If you did a Venn diagram, for sure, individuals with substance addiction— if you’re homeless or un-homeless—do have a higher proportion of crimes like that, property crimes,” says Chase, who also works as the local jails’ program coordinator.

According to the homeless census, 41 percent of the county’s homeless population deals with addiction, 38 percent have a psychiatric condition, 33 percent suffer from a chronic health injury, 24 percent suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and 16 percent suffer from a traumatic brain injury.

In its report, the committee makes four long-term suggestions, including the navigation center. The main recommendation that catches Lane’s eye, though, is one for a year-round regional shelter, instead of the seasonal model, which the city has used for years.

“I’ve just felt for such a long time that the whole notion of having a winter shelter is so half-baked,” he says. “When April rolls around and it stops being as cold and wet, we know these people are still here, but now they don’t have anywhere to sleep safely? How can you justify that?”

The recommendations call for more housing, as well, and a day center. There are also 16 possible short-term solutions that the city could implement in less than three years—including an expansion of mental health outreach, secure storage facilities, restrooms and showers, and a local Downtown Streets Team, one that local business leaders are already working on bringing to town. The team aims to give the homeless a leg up by giving them a positive environment, work experience and cash vouchers to help them move forward with their lives.

For the people on the front lines of the struggle, the report argues, being homeless is no easy way to live.

“People in homelessness live in a condition of constant stress,” the report reads. “In addition to exposure to the elements and uncertainty over meeting basic needs of food and water, these individuals live with compromised safety and are often victims of theft or mistreatment.

Their histories and the reasons why they are homeless can be complicated and require specialized supports.”

SHOULDNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HAVE HAPPENED THAT WAY

THE

POET I

thought I had some understanding of the pain my friend Pete the Poet went through every week, probably every day, but I’m learning now how little I really understood. I know he struggled with a sense of feeling cut off from the world of other people, alienated and distanced, and the painful news that local poet Peter McLaughlin died on April 18 at age 54, having taken his own life, has left me reeling with a sense of being alienated and distanced, as well. I’ve taken a baby step toward Pete’s world, a world that I enter constantly through the words he left behind, a book of poems that I as his publisher had looked forward to bringing out until an anguished Pete told me no, he just couldn’t handle that. what to make of him. Sarah had heard Pete talking about his poetry that afternoon at the Buttery, and encouraged him to stop by. I worried about what this innocuouslooking character might share under the label “poetry,” with his wiry salt-andpepper brush cut, the athletic thin build of a former runner and P.E. coach, and an open, engaging look that expressed both a low-simmering bewilderment with the world and a readiness to wink and turn that bewilderment into a joke. I braced myself for haikus on kitchen appliances or odes to the pitching style of Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner.

Pete, bouncy with nervousness, told

me he had written a poem called “I Wish I Was Billy Collins,” a uniquely Pete mashup of gentle mockery and honest homage, and had actually put the poem in an envelope and mailed it off to the bestselling poet himself. Billy–outdoorsy poster boy of the New Yorker-and-NPR set–had written Pete back. And he’d sent a funny, implicitly approving note! Which as a matter of fact, Pete could pull out and read aloud right then and there for us! It was all pretty amazing, and Pete enjoyed winning the “Show and Tell” competition with such aplomb.

Here’s that poem, which would have been the title poem of the collection.

But Pete got too many things too right for me not to be haunted by the lines of his poems, the music of his pain, told with such clarity and humanity, courage and comic flair, that we laughed along with him and only rarely paused to tune into what lay under the surface. Pete, who grew up in San Francisco and moved to Santa Cruz in 2002, found a local following with regular appearances at open mics like the ones at the Ugly Mug and Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing. He showed up one Tuesday night here in Soquel for our regular open readings at the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, the writers’ retreat center I co-founded with my wife, Sarah, and I had no idea

I wish I was Billy Collins.

No, not George Clooney, just good old Billy C. I bet Billy lives in some charming upstate hamlet, probably New York or Vermont.

His house is rustic and inviting no gate, just a hand-painted peace sign out front and a box that says “free rhubarb, take some” a wrap-around porch and swing, tasteful unpretentious curtains, a happy chimney whispering out aromatic smoke, and there’s always an apple pie cooling on the window sill.

And so here I come now— Yes! It’s me, fantasy Billy smiling the smile of the successful rolling up in my vintage (but not gaudy) ’56 Chevrolet pick-up my dog Thoreau, a rescue of course, riding shotgun manic chickens scattering crazily as I pull in.

You see, I was in town, at the diner, with Clem and Lefty and Cecil sipping coffee and discussing the high school football team’s prospects.

It’s fall—everything is beautiful.

My wife, who works with orphans, has just come in from her pottery studio.

She kisses me and informs me that my agent called and Harvard wants to honor me again next month.

“Oh how tiresome,” I say.

“I’d rather play horseshoes with Clem.”

But I go anyway.

Some wealthy hedge-fund alum Whose literary daughter has all my books dispatches his pilot to fetch me.

He glides into our cow pasture at the appointed hour.

We don’t have cows any more, too much work.

But it’s nice not having to drive to the airport.

I make my speech.

Everyone loves me.

At the reception afterward as usual some comely twenty-nine-year-old grad student her siren’s hand lightly on my lapel lets me know just how much my work has meant to her…. but I’m used to this by now so it’s no trouble.

I’m such a great guy.

Back at my hotel suite I toss off a quick poem for the New Yorker and sleep soundly as always.

I even wear pajamas.

GREAT FUTURES START HERE

My children all work for Oxfam and are expert mountain climbers.

I never need Viagra my eyes are 20/20 my teeth so sound the dentist has me visit only once a year.

But sometimes … on quiet evenings When I’m tinkering with the Chevy (I call her Sylvia, after Sylvia Plath) the Red Sox game quietly on the radio I find myself wishing I lived in Santa Cruz … yes In a musty studio apartment with a decrepit cat who barfs violently on the carpet at 4 a.m. it’s as though he’s trying to turn himself inside out for Christ’s sake and neighbors whose high decibel, jack-hammer style love-making comes and comes again hard through the cheap-ass half-inch sheetrock wall penetrating even the protective pillow I press to my beleaguered ears and a voodoo smoke alarm with a freaking mind of its own and a malevolent marauding murder of hoodlum crows who seem to derive particular glee from shitting only on my car …

But that lasts about two seconds, tops I shake my head, smiling sheepishly, and I chuckle softly to my silly Billy self switch off the light and head upstairs to bed to my extraordinary wife and sleep like a fucking baby.

Pete read the poem aloud to us that first night, and looked jolted by the loud round of applause he received, as if his hair was standing on end. He raised his eyebrows and thanked us for listening, as he did so many times. He’d made us laugh, he’d made us smile wonderingly at all he’d packed into the lines, as he would again and again. Pete could describe the indescribable in a matter of fact way that, depending on the subject matter, was often hilarious, sometimes just random.

He had periods where he visited every week to read his poems and periods where he stayed away, because he just couldn’t grapple with the emotional roller coaster of feeling high over the way we all loved his poems and then being up all night, vibrating with self-doubt and self-loathing.

Pete felt at home talking about sports, and when I told him what it was like hanging out with Dusty Baker or Bruce Bochy, a break from his episodic ambivalence about life seemed to come over him. We

worked for months preparing his book, and Pete and our Wellstone Books intern Kyle would sit together for two or three hours at a time, going over line breaks and occasionally word choice, but mostly just getting silly and laughing so hard they cried.

I’ve always thought of breakthroughs in writing as offering a kind of handrail to take us deeper into life, but for Pete it wasn’t like that. I didn’t offer to publish him because it would be good for him, I offered to publish him because the world needed to see his stuff. When I talked to Casey Coonerty Protti, the owner of Bookshop Santa Cruz, about this remarkable unlikely talent, or to Eric at PGW, our distributor, I always had a cautious excitement, because with Pete you never knew.

He used to show up at Bookshop and stand there imagining he was giving a reading, the focus of 40 sets of adoring eyes, and told me that after much practice he was ready for that. Then he changed his mind.

was part of the joke—and he had a way of reading where you could see him taken over by something beyond himself, something larger, that pulled him through the words, something that opened up to reveal what most of us keep hidden. Selfishly, we loved listening to him, even wondering what exactly it cost him to share so much. I never pushed Pete, except nudging him to read a favorite line one more time, when I knew he was up for it anyway. I didn’t push him because I knew there was much I would not know and could not know about the private terrain of his dread.

Pete would fold back into himself after he finished “Angry Prius,” eyes down, his apologetic demeanor both comical and revealing. The poems were a way to share some small inkling of what it was like to be him, to have an imagination that rocketed through all the same private thoughts we have, just like us, but with more zany energy and freakishly spot-on detail than the rest of us can muster. Hearing him read, there was always astonishment in the air, the astonishment of seeing major talent face to face, and in so unlikely-seeming an individual, an unassuming divorced fiftysomething man living a quiet life in Santa Cruz.

Pete understood all this—that, in fact,

<25 The Legacy of PETE THE POET with him. He had never owned a computer, and knew he never would. He talked of one day buying a cell phone, but the plan seemed farfetched. He wrote his poems out by hand in pencil and kept them in a binder, which he had a way of clutching in his lap, just before cracking it open to pick a poem to read, as if he feared it might explode in his lap. He'd gone so far as to duct-tape his binder shut one time and hide it away in his closet, halfconvincing himself that it was gone; eventually he came around and cut it open again.

Now that he is gone, I feel myself flayed by the pain of losing him, disoriented by the suffocating weight of knowing I’ll never talk to him again, never share a laugh.

But with each day since I got the news, I’m trying to focus as well

on the wonder of being friends with him, the wonder of sharing his moments of joy and happiness.

He was arriving at the end of a long and harrowing journey each time he made it to easy-going and laughing, letting fly with another spontaneous hilarious line. I was lucky to share that with him. We were all lucky.

More than any other poem, I find myself going back to “Old School Timmy,” a poem in a different key than most everything Pete wrote.

He only read it aloud to us after much coaxing, underselling it in the extreme, but it was a revelation in its own way, autobiographical in a different way than most of his other work. Pete would fight back tears late in the poem as he read, but then look up smiling once he’d made it through another reading.

OLD SCHOOL TIMMY Hi my name’s Timmy Archibald and I’m seven going on eight and you’re invited to my birthday party at Magic Lane Fun Center this Saturday but leave your sissy parents at home ’cause we’re bowling without those wimpy little fences that block off the gutters so your sensitive feelings won’t get hurt because you’re too uncoordinated to roll a sparkly eight-pound ball straight down the alley.

I’d rather bowl an honest seven than some pretend sixty-three and if you cry for any reason I’ll sock your shoulder so hard you’ll really have something to cry about we’re eating corn dogs and drinking Mountain Dew and we’re putting seventy-five cents in the condom machine in the men’s room even if we have to stand on the garbage can to do it let me tell you, show and tell is gonna really be something on Monday.

If you’re a spazz I’m not picking you for my team at recess go play four square with the girls or tetherball by yourself, creep.

I don’t want fairy tales without kids getting eaten I don’t want a trophy for picking my nose in right field I’m sure as hell not hitting a baseball off a tee and if you crowd the plate I’ll drill you just like my dad told me.

I can’t stand grownups who wear costumes on Halloween and take pictures of every dumb thing their rotten kids do. I can cross the street by myself so don’t hold my hand I’m

My uncle told me back in the day playgrounds had metal slides ten feet high you could jump off and kids threw dirt clods at each other real hard and dogs would have fights like savage wild animals and you could watch them have sex and sometimes they’d end up stuck together and you could ride in the open bed of a truck or at least pack nine or ten kids in a car all crazy like clowns at the circus.

Johnny’s mom is a piece of ass, that’s what my dad says, I’m not sure what he means but the other moms don’t like her at all she bartends at TGIFriday’s where the dads go to watch sports my mom works at the daycare she hates my dad she says he’s emotionally bankrupt he works at the lumber yard but his back hurts a lot.

He can’t really play too much any more.

He mostly just watches TV. He was a great bowler before I was born, he has trophies and a smashed-up old pin with 300 written on it and pictures of him smiling with other guys all wearing shiny shirts that say Al’s Refrigeration on them they look really happy.

He’s pretty fat now and has to take pills for his heart he has a girlfriend she’s a hairdresser but she usually comes over after I’m in bed I hear them laughing then it’s quiet.

Once I heard him tell her I was a mistake.

Mom says she’s through with men the assistant principal took her out a couple times she says he’s a goddam toe-licking pervert.

Mom and Dad went to counseling before they split and the time I went I drew pictures of how I felt. mostly they were of people living deep underground.

I remember Mom cried real hard.

Dad just sat there, looking at his hands … sometimes I wish I was invisible, and no one would ever know I was there, but I’d be there, just kind of floating around, you know, like a really nice ghost, or maybe just part of the air.

Pretty crazy, huh?

forests glide gracefully up one panel.

Delicate jellyfish float in various states of transparency. Enchanting work, it showcases the tastes of a vast clientele for Heather Glass, the business developed by the artist and managed by her husband,

photographer Tim Matthews.

Walking me through her process, the tall blonde explains that drawings are made at 1/8 scale.

“Then I do a full-scale one for clients to approve,” she says, pointing to large drawings of vines and flowers

draped across couches and chairs.

“The next step is cutting the stencil.”

For this she uses something called Buttercut—a pale green vinyl that is applied to the surface of the glass.

she explains. She transfers her drawing onto the vinyl surface and cuts out the design with an X-Acto blade.

The etching happens in a ventilated blasting chamber at the side of the old barn-like studio structure. She shows me the tiny nozzles that allow for intricate cutting and threedimensional carving of shapes such as leaves and petals. “Tim got me this,” she smiles, holding a lightweight pink plastic blasting hood. The old ones— which resemble diving helmets— weigh 8 pounds.

Matthews carves her images into sheets of industrial glass that have been pre-cut and finished. “It’s physically taxing,” she admits. “I have to use both hands—one to hold the pen-like nozzle, and the other to steady it. And I have to work on the floor for designs on the lower sections.”

Donor walls of hospitals and marine labs have been adorned with her waterscapes. “Sea life is a specialty.

And I love two-sided projects,” she says, as I run my hands over both front and backsides of an etched botanical design. “These pieces change as the light moves.” Matthews claims that organization is not her strong suit. “I encourage deadlines,” she says. “I’m not very structured.

And the work can become arduous.

It’s like having a baby. I can’t wait for it to be finished. But then when it is finished … ” Matthews has created thousands of such pieces, she says, pointing to the gorgeous collection of panels, tables, doors, that she has etched with her signature designs, most involving flowers and leaves inspired by her own garden, or sea creatures which she researches along the coast and in Hawaii.

Moving around a lot as she grew up, Matthews spent her first eight years in Germany, then back and forth across the U.S., finally ending up in Virginia when her stepfather was at the Pentagon. Art and science were her major studies, but art won out. “I

came here originally to go to UCSC, but I never did. Thank God I heard about Cabrillo,” she says. At Cabrillo she studied with legendary teachers Holt Murray, Tom Allen, and Howard Ikemoto.

Heather Glass began with stained glass. “I fashioned boxes, windows, little hanging pieces that were all sold at Nepenthe,” she says. More work followed. “It turned into a business.

I was lucky,” she admits, flashing a grin. Even after the earthquake in 1989, she was sought after. “People came to me to do repair work,” she says. By then, she had married the photographer and in 1990 they moved into a rambling barn structure on Soquel Drive almost at the very center of the Village.

“I gave away my stained glass equipment and started doing glass etching in the mid-80s,” she says. Working nonstop ever since, many of her commissions involve field research. Matthews shows me a richly detailed Sierra mountainscape window. “I spent time up in the mountains to research the plants and animals,” she says. One panel in the rustic studio reminds me of Tiffany, emblazoned with dogwood. Another of wisteria is clearly 19th century in feel. “I do my drawing at home in my garden. Gardening is my therapy,” she says.

Matthews works primarily by commission. Even though she displays samples of basic designs to help start the process, most of her huge roster of clients seem to know exactly what they want. “People really like to have their finger in the final product,” she says.

The work in person is unexpectedly lively for designs worked in glass. “I see new things in each piece all the time,” the artist herself admits. “In the changing light—it’s like a living creature.”

Hod Topic MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

For Santa Cruz’s Hod and the Helpers, a little attention goes a long way BY AARON CARNES

34

L

ocal musician Hod Hulphers is a little uncomfortable about that fact that he hired a PR guy to promote the debut album from Hod and the Helpers. His dream was just to press the album on vinyl, and, you know, have an actual physical representation of his work that would exist outside of the internet.

That’s pretty much it.

“I told the guys, ‘I don’t care if we only sell one, I’ll pay the full price for 500 records,’” Hulpher says.

The album was released on Bandcamp on April 20, and will be out on vinyl in mid-July. He reconsidered the importance of promotion with much prodding from his bandmates.

(“Do I really want a bunch of fucking vinyl records in my basement the rest of my life?”) Besides, Hulphers reasoned, with a PR guy promoting the album, maybe there would be more benefits than simply album sales.

“I’d love to get some good reviews, and have a good press package, so we can go on the road and play in front of 10 people wherever we want,” Hulphers says. “I’m really looking for some affirmation. Someone saying, ‘Good job.’ Wouldn’t that be nice?”

It’s understandable why the process is a bit unsettling for Hulphers. He’s played music his entire life, first as a drummer in bands like Lost Kids, then as a solo singer-songwriter. After five shows where he was tacked on

to the end of the bill, he changed his moniker to “And Hod,” the ultimate self-deprecating name.

Then about four years ago, friend and long-time Santa Cruz musician A.J. Marquez (Slow Gherkin, Dan P and the Bricks, the Huxtables) caught one of Hulphers’ solo sets.

He’d seen him before, but was struck with how much better his songwriting and performance had gotten—and was disappointed in how little attention he was getting.

Marquez saw potential for more than just an indie-folk singer-songwriter: This could be a killer band.

“I gave him a full Goonies talk,” Marquez says. “‘We need to do this.

This could be really fun.’”

The lineup built slowly, including Hulphers on guitar/vocals, Marquez on keys, Greg Braithwaite on drums, Dan Potthast on bass, and Jeff Stultz on guitar. The latter is the moment Marquez feels the band came into their own. (“Not sure whether it was completing the Voltron aspect of it, or just Jeff’s insane talent and focus,” he says.)

Stultz not only offered his skills on the guitar, but also recorded the album. He also provided a counterbalance to Hulphers’ mixed feelings about devoting any resources to marketing, which Hulphers calls “the antithesis of what art is.”

That wasn’t Stultz’s thinking.

“Why don’t you have some people hear it? We can spend less focus on the creation process and more on the sharing process,” Stultz told him.

“You put so much time and energy and hard work into something, it’s sort of a false humility to be like, ‘I don’t care if anybody knows.’”

The record is brilliantly produced.

It captures Hulphers’ eccentric songwriting style, and draws the songs out into gorgeous, mellow psych-folk tunes. Hulphers is part lounge singer, which he smoothly executes, but he also injects a layer of cynical, ironic cockiness.

Marquez refers to it as “Texas mogul gone country singer.”

All of these elements create a record filled with humor, social commentary, and a blurry line between truth and fiction, which is indeed a key part of Hulphers’ personality.

“I’ve lost a lot of girlfriends because that line is so blurry. It scares them off,” Hulphers says.

“I listen back to what I’ve just written, and I’m like, ‘that’s fucking ridiculous.’ I’m fucking ridiculous.

So I inject this levity into it that insinuates I’m totally self-aware of what I just wrote. So you go back and say, ‘Did he mean that last line?

Cause he just said this.’ So it’s like this constant battle.”

The album’s record release show is at the Crepe Place, though they are trying to get another band on the bill to headline for them. Headlining is not really their thing.

“We prefer not to,” Hulphers says.

“We’re still And Hod at heart.”

‘VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE’ MCT THEATER Continuing weekends through Sunday, May 28, the Tony Award-winning play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike (say that 10 times fast) will be playing at Ben Lomond’s historic Park Hall. The Mountain Community Theater production is directed by Peter Gelblum and follows the dreary lives of two middle-aged siblings living in rural Pennsylvania, spending their days staring out the window and bickering. Their lives are disrupted when their world-famous actress sister arrives with her too-young boy toy, Spike. With one aspiring actress, an evil “Hootie Pie,” and a prophesying voodoo-loving housekeeper, you’ve got what the New York Times calls “deliriously funny.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND HOOPTY

Bring the funk. And also bring the jazz.

But also bring the weirdo-Frank-Zappa rhythmic syncopations. While you’re at it, bring the sci-fi themes, costumes and backup dancers. That, in a nutshell, is local ensemble Hoopty, a dance band that’s got a lot more going on than just down-and-dirty grooves.

“We’re trying to keep it accessible, while at the same time bringing a level of harmonic sophistication and improvisation that people don’t usually get with dance music,” explains guitarist Stu Dean.

MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The group’s website describes the sound as “Neo Vintage Funk,” which seems like the understatement of the year. In talking with Dean about the group’s jarring and at times atypical sound, he describes manipulating the rhythmic phrases and tweaking where the notes fall, and at one point says he thinks of his guitar as a voice that goes inside and outside of the harmony.

44

The group started five years ago.

From the beginning, the approach to songwriting has been the same.

But one area they’ve evolved is the theatrical element of the performance.

Videos online feature them in all-white Devo-esque outfits as they head-bang along to the funk tunes. In the future, they hope to create a full-on sci-fi visual production for the music.

“It’s a lot of fun to get all dressed up.

It’s great for the camaraderie to feel like a group of explorers,” Dean says. “If people see us acting like fools, it gives them more permission to get crazy and let loose themselves.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 11. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

MOLLY TUTTLE

WEDNESDAY 5/10 BLUEGRASS/FOLK

MOLLY TUTTLE A talented folk and bluegrass singer-songwriter, Molly Tuttle has been a fixture on the roots circuit since she was 11 years old. But Tuttle’s no runof-the-mill folkie—she’s a guitar virtuoso who runs circles around many of her peers with her show-stopping roots picking. In June, Tuttle drops her solo debut, Rise, which explores a “period of intense change” for the artist as she moved from California to Boston, and then to Nashville. The album sees the 24-year-old at her instrumental finest and showcasing her maturing songwriting abilities. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

THURSDAY 5/11 JAZZ

ANAT COHEN & TRIO BRASILEIRO Israeli-born reed master Anat Cohen’s long love affair with Brazilian music, particularly the intricate

instrumental tradition known as choro, had cooled off while she concentrated on her jazz career.

Inspired by a brilliant new generation of Brazilian innovators, she’s delved back into Brazil’s fathomless musical treasures with two new albums.

Her duo session Outra Coisa focuses on the ingenious compositions of Moacir Santos, while Rosa Dos Ventos is a thrilling choro session featuring the band with whom she’s touring.

While she possesses a big, warm sound on tenor sax, she sticks to her liquid-toned clarinet with São Paulo’s Trio Brasileiro featuring seven-string guitarist Douglas Lora, Dudu Maia on 10-string mandolin and Alexandre Lora on the tambourine-like pandeiro. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $27/adv, $32/door. 427-2227.

FRIDAY 5/12 REGGAE

MICHAEL ROSE For the last three decades, few names have dominated the reggae scene like Michael Rose. As lead singer of the legendary Black Uhuru, Rose recorded staple tracks of the genre,

like “Shine Eye Gal” and “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”—which was originally a Rose song from his career before the band. In 1984, Black Uhuru became the first reggae band to win a Grammy, solidifying their place in the halls of music history. After leaving the band in the ’90s, Rose has continued working on his solo career, and continues to write irie Jamaican reggae to the delight of dreadheads everywhere.

FUNK

TUXEDO A duo comprising two Grammy nominated artists—Seattle hip-hop producer Jake One and singer/songwriter/ producer/multi-instrumentalist Mayer Hawthorne—Tuxedo splashed onto the pop scene in 2015 with a self-titled debut. But the artists’ friendship began a decade earlier with the two swapping mixtapes, which eventually grew into a musical partnership.

Drawing from the classic funk era, Tuxedo describes itself as being a descendent of the “one-word moniker family of funk, where you will find groups such as Chic, Shalamar, Plush

Formed as a solo project by Mike Deni in 2007, Geographer has expanded to a full-fledged indie rock band—but only while touring. Deni’s beautifully dark and haunting music—”soulful music from outer space,” as he describes it—has soothed the hearts of music fans since the 2008 debut, Innocent Ghosts. In 2015, Geographer released its third full-length album, Ghost Modern, to much critical acclaim, with its brooding synths bubbling under the flow of Deni’s melancholic vocals. MW

Scott Cooper is well known in town for his Grateful Dead tribute band, China Cats. But as much as he loves performing music by the Dead, he also wants to show that he’s a fantastic songwriter in his own right. His music mixes blues, Americana, and rock ’n’ roll, all with a nod to the ’60s jam band sound, and with an overall feel-good—and distinctly Santa Cruz—vibe. For this upcoming set at Lille Aeske, Cooper will be playing an intimate acoustic set of his originals.

played Coachella, but this is the band made for the festival. The members are a little bit hippie, a little bit electronic bros, and put all together something than can be described as both an intimate heartfelt folk ensemble and a hyper-produced powerhouse sing-along stadium rocker. The group’s biggest single is called “Set On Fire,” which seems like a Coachella anthem. The choruses are so big they force you to sing along. This Saturday, they’ll be at little ’ol Crepe Place, where I can only assume they’ll put on a Coachella-worthy show. AC

In 1997, a Los Angeles-based rap group named Jurassic 5 dropped its first official release, a self-titled EP full of samples, clever rhymes, vocal harmonies and a whole lot of indie soul. The EP established the group as one to watch on the ’90s scene.

From the opening track, which kicks off with, “It’s the J-U-R-A-Capital-Sanother-S-I-C / 5 MCs in the flesh,” through one of the group’s defining tracks, “Concrete Schoolyard,” the debut set J5 on the path to rap greatness. Twenty years in, the group is still at it, crafting head-bobbing beats, catchy lyrics and holding true to its reputation for keeping old school hip-hop alive. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

IT’S A WASH The animated feature ‘My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea’ began as a comic book by creator Dash Shaw.

School Drop-Off MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Ideas exceed delivery in DIY cartoon ‘My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea’ BY LISA JENSEN

50

A

s someone who always wished my high school would fall into the sea— preferably before I had to dress out for P. E.—I had high hopes for a movie called My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea. Sadly, it never happened in my case, but anyone who has ever entertained such a fantasy might get a vicarious kick out of this cartoon mashup of teen comedy, disaster movie and social satire. But while it gets points for cheeky energy, be warned that it comes with a few caveats.

The story began as a comic book whose creator, Dash Shaw, is making his first attempt at an animated feature. Without a Disney-sized budget for laborious techniques, the images tend to look a little cheesy: faces have

a narrow range of expressions, and the lines defining faces and silhouettes always shiver slightly onscreen. Shaw jazzes things up with bold watercolor washes, or funky crayon images, or paper and cardboard cutouts superimposed on the background. And lots of pulsing color, which leads to the most important caveat—an onscreen warning that the movie’s stroboscopic effects might trigger a reaction in viewers with epilepsy.

So. Is what’s onscreen worth the potential risk? Well, I wish I could say this DIY cartoon makes up for its lack of technique with vivid imagination or riotous satire. But while there is plenty of fun stuff here, all of the movie’s ambitious ideas can’t quite sustain the whole.

Dash (voice of Jason Schwartzman)

is entering his sophomore year at Tides High School, somewhere along the California coast. He and his buddy, Assaf (voice of Reggie Watts) are the entire writing staff of a onepage print-out school paper edited

by Verti (Maya Rudolph) that nobody reads. Nevertheless Dash sees himself as a crusading reporter, and is given to narrating his daily life. (“It’s going to be a big year for our hero and his faithful sidekick.”)

Dash sneaks into the school archives and stumbles onto the story of his career: the safety inspection approval for the school’s recently completed construction project was forged by Principal Grimm (Thomas Jay Ryan). Because the school is built on a fault line, it’s a disaster in the making. Dash is sent to detention along with

Mary (Lena Dunham), a member of the popular-girl clique who’s snuck into the archives to retrieve her confiscated cell phone. They’re together when the inevitable quake happens, the cliffside supporting the school erodes, and the building and everyone in it are pitched into the ocean.

From this point, the plot becomes Titanic-like. The building is sinking, but not all at once; as various sections collapse, it keeps tilting one way, then another, with different areas filling with water as everyone scrambles for higher ground. Filmmaker Shaw indulges in plenty of cartoon carnage, with kids eaten by sharks and lots of drowned bodies floating by, as “our heroes,” joined by gruff Lunch Lady Lorraine (Susan Sarandon), fight to survive.

Anyone who’s ever suffered through high school will appreciate a joke about a student threatened with a negative report going on his (dreaded) “Permanent Record.” Or the idea that a clique of dimwitted jocks on the top floor organize an obedient feudal society around their alpha leader (a voice cameo

by John Cameron Mitchell). And I loved it when brainy Verti, about to attempt a physical stunt to save the others, pumps herself up with the mantra, “I’m Ursula K. LeGuin! I’m Gertrude Stein!”

But there’s a lot of filler here, too.

Familiar old tropes about popular mean girls or JD kids in search of drugs don’t really add much.

An attempted psychedelic effect toward the end of the movie, full of pulsating colors gradually reduced to dots, just becomes irritating. And lots of the same shots are repeated over and over again throughout the movie, as if the filmmakers were desperately trying to stretch things out to feature length. Still, it might have an afterlife as midnight movie, based on sheer chutzpah.

MY ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL SINKING INTO THE SEA (**1/2) With the voices of Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Reggie Watts, and Susan Sarandon. Written and detected

by Dash Shaw. A GKids release. Rated PG-13.

75 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD The story of Arthur before he pulled the sword from the stone and became the legendary king—with a perfectly scruffed yet dashingly trimmed undercut, duh (cue eye roll). The new Arthur’s got an arsenal of nerd-out-worthy special effects, and with Jude Law as the expertly cast powerhungry king, it might be the most badass rendition of the classic tale ever told. At least, that’s what director Guy Ritchie thinks. Charlie Hunnam and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey co-star. (PG-13) 126 minutes.

LOWRIDERS Getting to the heart of L.A.’s lowrider car culture, Lowriders follows a street artist trying to break away from his father’s obsession and find a way to be true to his talent. Ricardo de Montreuil directs. Gabriel Chavarria, Demián Bichir, Elgin James co-star. (PG-13) 99 minutes.

MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

NORMAN Not another sequel or prequel to Psycho—Bates Motel fans can thank their stars—but rather, the story of an operator, an optimist, an enigma. Whatever you need, he’ll help you get it. Norman Oppenheimer’s tale is one of “the moderate rise and tragic fall of a New York fixer,” as its tagline explains, and it’s being called the role of Richard Gere’s life.

Joseph Cedar directs. Gere, Lior Ashkenazi, Michael Sheen co-star.

(R) 118 minutes.

52

A QUIET PASSION “You are alone in your rebellion, Ms. Dickinson.”

And indeed, from her time as a defiant schoolgirl to a brazen woman who would not kneel to God or man, Emily Dickinson was.

But, as Cynthia Nixon depicts, her aloneness had more to do with being out of step with the world and more in tune with the universe.

Terence Davies directs. Jennifer Ehle and Duncan Duff co-star. (PG13) 125 minutes.

SNATCHED Vacationing with your mother when your boyfriend has just dumped you can be somewhat stifling, even if she is Goldie Hawn.

But thankfully, things get all kinds

of exciting when Amy Schumer and Hawn get out of their hotel room and into a … kidnap situation.

Jonathan Levine directs. Kim Caramele co-stars. (R) 91 minutes.

THE WALL Two American soldiers are trapped in a lethal stalemate with a sniper, and their only protection is a shoddy brick wall.

Doug Liman directs. Aaron TaylorJohnson, John Cena, Laith Nakli co-star. (R) 81 minutes.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS: National Theatre Live “Hedda Gabler,” 11 a.m., Sunday, May 14 & 7 p.m.

Tuesday, May 16. Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

Howl’s Moving Castle, Midnight, Friday, May 13 & Saturday, May 14.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING BEAUTY AND THE BEAST This live-action adaptation of the fairytale classic might sound pointless to you, but to Disney it sounds like “ka-ching!” Bill Condon directs.

Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans co-star. (PG) 129 minutes.

BORN IN CHINA Disneynature tracks China’s incredible wildlife from the Qinghai Plateau to the Sichuan Mountains and offers a rare glimpse into the lives of pandas, monkeys, and snow leopards—oh my! Chuan Lu directs. John Krasinski, Xun Zhou co-star. (G) 76 minutes.

THE BOSS BABY I want to hate this animated kid’s movie about a talking baby, because all movies about talking babies should be hated. But I’ve seen the trailer a zillion times now (give or take), and I have to admit Alec Baldwin doing his Jack Donaghy character from 30 Rock (basically) in baby form is pretty funny. (PG) 97 minutes.

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL? No, wait, wrong movie. Anyway, this is Charlie Hunnam in

Guy Ritchie’s new King Arthur flick.

THE CIRCLE The Circle tech company is saving humanity, curing every disease and solving every problem. But the Circle is also watching you at every moment. Everything you do is recorded, seen, broadcast, stored and analyzed. Hearts be still, Dave Eggers fans. James Ponsoldt directs. Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, John Boyega co-star. (PG-13) 110 minutes.

COLOSSAL Oh no, there’s a giant monster and its hugely destructive behavior is related to Anne Hathaway’s mental breakdown.

Help us. Nacho Vigalondo directs.

Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Austin Stowell co-star. (R) 110 minutes.

THE DINNER What begins as an unassuming dinner between two couples quickly devolves into a downward spiral of family secrets hinging on questions of right and wrong. What did their sons do, and who should pay the price? Oren Moverman directs. Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Steve Coogan costar. (R) 120 minutes.

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS Every muscular bald action star ever, and Charlize Theron with some twist dreads y’all. F. Gary Gray directs.

Dwayne Johnson, Scott Eastwood co-star. (PG-13) 136 minutes.

GIFTED Mary’s a precocious,

sassy, seven-year-old with a college-level brain. She’s already doing advanced calculus, but her uncle promised her late mother that he’d give Mary a normal life.

When he’s drawn into a custody battle with Mary’s grandmother, the question of nurturing Mary’s genius instead of her happiness becomes the dividing line. Marc Webb directs. Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan co-star. (PG-13) 101 minutes.

GOING IN STYLE Their bank accounts are dwindling, their pensions are frozen, the banks screwed them over and Jojo chose Chase. What else is there for a trio of octogenarians to do but become vigilante bank robbers? Zach Braff directs. Joey King, Morgan Freeman, Ann-Margret co-star.

(PG-13) 96 minutes.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 The fate of the universe lies on Baby Groot’s shoulders. The universe is screwed. James Gunn directs. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista co-star. (PG-13) 136 minutes.

HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER Maximo used to be quite the stud, seducing women left and right. But when his wife of 25 years dumps him and leaves him penniless, he has to figure out a new game plan.

Here’s to hoping this Casanova

tale isn’t a super problematic reinforcement of women as mindless conquests. Ken Marino directs. Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe co-star. (PG-13) 115 minutes.

THE LOST CITY OF Z A hidden civilization thought not to exist, and one British explorer crazy enough to go looking for it. James Gray directs. Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller costar. (PG-13) 141 minutes.

MY ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL SINKING INTO THE SEA Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 75 minutes.

THEIR FINEST When bombs are dropping from above, how do you escape reality? It’s 1940 England at the height of the Blitz, and Catrin needs a story to capture the nation—so, doggone it, she and the rest of the Ministry of Information will find one. Lone Scherfig directs.

Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy co-star. (R) 117 minutes.

THE ZOOKEEPER’S WIFE It seems like Jessica Chastain has been in pretty much every movie for years now, but this time she tackles something very different in this true story of a zookeeper in 1939 Poland who puts herself and her family at risk to save lives in the Nazi-ruled Warsaw ghetto. (PG-13) 124 minutes.

Italy Via Aptos MAY 10-16, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Authentic cuisine meets ambiance at historic hotel BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

54

O

n a recent heat-wave evening, a friend and I walked the train tracks to Aptos’ newest restaurant, Bella Vista, located inside the towering Bayview Hotel—the oldest hotel in the county, and one of the oldest still operating in California, replete with numerous ghost stories, and more recently, reality-television fame.

Here, longtime chef Atillio Sienna of Naples, Italy, has taken the reins of an authentic Italian menu, complete with pizzas wood-fired on the back patio.

We settled into the sun porch, aglow in the last gasps of a sunset, and overlooking the hotel’s giant, sentinel Magnolia tree. I ordered

a glass of Verdicchio, Verde di Ca’ Ruptae from March, Italy ($8)— crisp, dry and refreshing after an 80-degree day.

Roasted garlic cloves in olive oil were delivered, along with a basket filled not with the stale afterthought that bread can sometimes be in this post-gluten society, but with warm slabs of glorious, glutenous bread, succulent in that baked-thismorning kind of way.

Tempted by the Caprese salad, we vowed to come back during tomato season and ordered the Insalata di Cesare ($9) instead. Not a single regret. Having nothing to do with the Roman dictator, the Caesar salad is a fairly recent development,

invented in 1924 Tijuana, Mexico by Italian immigrant and restaurant owner Caesar Cardini. Food for thought as you munch on Bella Vista’s rendition, which, if you appreciate the genre, you may want to do. In a world where ordering the now-ubiquitous Caesar means playing roulette with the possibility of petrified, processed croutons and factory-made dressing heavy on preservatives, it’s refreshing to experience the real deal. Crisp romaine was tossed in a light dressing rich with the flavors of fresh citrus and anchovy, and lovingly sprinkled with ParmigianoReggiano and fresh-ground pepper.

Even the anchovies were patted dry

and thoughtfully placed, absent of the off-putting oil slick that results when they’re dumped from the can.

Tempted too by the secondi courses of Polenta ala Gorgonzola, and Calamari Fritti (again, vowing to come back), we settled on two pasta dishes: the Rigatoni Alla Bolognese ($19), and the homemade Ravioli di Spinaci e Ricotta ($22). The rigatoni, cooked perfectly al dente, was a hearty, we-should-probablygo-hiking-tomorrow-sized dish with a dry but meaty red sauce made with grass-fed beef and showered in a generous sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan and fresh cracked chili pepper—brought on request. It paired like a dream with the smoky, dry Montepulciano 2012, Reserve ($9) from Abruzzo.

The ravioli came swimming in a decadent walnut cream sauce, inflected with the crunch of darkroasted walnuts and a substantial note of beef broth. Each pillow of this classic specialty is hand-stuffed with a pad of delicious, light green spinach and ricotta. The dish was salty, rich, and to die for—not to mention far too decadent to finish in one sitting. Fresh snips of basil rounded the plates of both pasta dishes, an aromatic and muchappreciated flourish.

On a Tuesday night, the sun porch was quiet, while the bar buzzed with a birthday party and live music.

With a goal of booking live music at Bella Vista six nights a week, Lenny Ruckel, musician and entertainment booker, performed in the bar area with TK Blackburn, who was filling in for Ruckel’s usual bandura (Ukrainian harp) player, who had torn off a thumbnail earlier that day.

He should be back at it on May 16.

Edged in wisteria and a sky-high stand of Lady Banks roses, Bella Vista’s expansive back patio (where the girthy pizza oven lives), is under construction, and will soon be open as a beer garden, complete with music and extended daytime hours.

All in all, the Bella Vista experience is a celebration of fine Italian dining in an elegant setting that is made for date night. Put it on your list.

Bella Vista Italian Kitchen & Bar is at 8041 Soquel Drive, Aptos. Open TuesdaySunday, 5 p.m.-9 p.m. and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. 999-0939.

ROOT OF PIE Edward Fordyce and Uandi Scholtz make Artisan Hand Food

Artisan Hand Food Edward Fordyce wants to change your mind about meat pies BY AARON CARNES

‘M

eat pie” is a phrase that rarely conjures up images of healthy, organic food. Local Edward Fordyce hopes to change that. His first obstacle is to get people here accustomed to eating meat pies in the first place, as it’s something Americans aren’t used to doing. Having spent his formative years in South Africa, however, he’s regularly snacked on them. Currently, Fordyce’s pies are available frozen at the Food Lounge’s Food Pantry and served hot every Thursday, as well as at various pop-ups. Fordyce told GT about his meat pies, and why one of his favorites doesn’t have meat in it.

How’d you get into making meat pies?

EDWARD FORDYCE: Where I grew up, we didn’t have McDonald’s. If you wanted a bite on the go, you’d have a meat pie. What I’m trying to do is create that same thing, using real food, real ingredients, and making it properly. I used to make them for myself. I bought the puff pastry as a shortcut. Then I realized that the

puff pastry had all sorts of funny things in it. So I started to make everything from scratch. I used organic chicken, no antibiotics, free range. None of the bad stuff. So I’ve gone to working with food on a very basic level: the right ingredients.

Only the good stuff.

What are your flagship pies?

My three signature pies would be my lamb curry, my vegetable tikka masala—I’m a basic Neanderthal, and I like meat. So I wanted to create a vegetable pie that even I would love. It’s got organic cauliflower, butternut squash, carrots, garbanzo beans, and potatoes, oven roasted with olive oil and sea salt. I take 15 different spices to create this sauce that goes with it. Every time I eat it, it surprises me. The third one is my basic, generic meat pie. It’s like a sloppy joe, but not that sloppy.

It’s a basic beefy flavor with a few little extras that I put in it to make it special.

Creating Award Winning Wines Since 1987

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 10-16, 2017

t’s not surprising that this superb Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard was Wine Enthusiast’s 93-point “Cellar Selection.” Winemaker Jeff Emery deserves such awards and accolades for his outstanding wines.

The 2013 Luchessi Vineyard Cab is a gorgeous mouthful of intense berries and “complexities of bittersweet chocolate, briar and earth.” Emery says it’s a rustic mountain Cab “with a finish that goes on and on.” A bit of a “rustic mountain” man himself, he must know what he’s talking about.

This 2013 Cab ($42) was harvested from a steep, dry-farmed vineyard in the hills above Cupertino, planted in 1981, where the “rugged mountaingrown grapes create great depth of character and intensity.” With its distinctive black currant, tobacco and coffee notes—along with a touch of cedar and toast—this wine delights the senses. And its aromas of dark fruit, including blueberries, black plums and black currants, add to its intensity and allure.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES THE MESSAGE OF WESAK— A SEVEN-DAY FESTIVAL The Wesak Festival (May 10), the Taurus solar festival at the time of the full moon, is actually seven days long. It is a time of the greatest spiritual opportunity of the year for humanity. For Buddhists, Wesak marks the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. In the Ageless Wisdom teachings, the Wesak festival is a living actual event, when a blessing from the Father is distributed to Earth by the Buddha. This blessing results in an extraordinary inflow of Life, Will and Spiritual stimulation, vitalizing Goodwill in all people everywhere. Accompanying the Buddha are the Forces of Enlightenment dispensing the Wisdom humanity seeks.

Legend speaks of Wesak (holy waters) as a sacred ceremony in the Himalayas in which the Buddha, the Christ and enlightened beings of all faiths gather, receive, hold and

radiate a special blessing to the world.

As we all link with this event, a great Light is created on the Earth that uplifts all the kingdoms to the Kingdom of Beauty.

“At the Wesak Festival, the Buddha returns to Earth to bless and convey the message of Wisdom, Light and Love to humanity. The Buddha comes from the very Heart of Deity, God the Father (Shamballa). The Buddha’s blessing at Wesak is the outer evidence and guarantee of inner divine guidance and revelation in this present world cycle of suffering and crisis.

Year after year the Buddha returns for a brief eight minutes. He reminds us that God exists and loves us; that He is not unmindful of His people; that the heart of the universe is compassion and that we are not alone.” - Alice A. Bailey

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

In these special and sacred days, tend to all promises, follow all rules, act like a Taurus (which may feel a bit restrictive) and make sure that no aversion or opposition colors your attitude and ways of being with others.

Honor is most important, and one progresses more easily when the virtues of patience, understanding and grace are cultivated. Like a garden of graces.

A more strict and sober view of life is quietly taking hold of your thoughts and feelings. This is good. However, it could feel restrictive. Simply consider it as another step in growing up, being responsible, learning how to tend to the demands of life and how to act with more grace and refinement. There’s a struggle for balance, a struggle to be heard and understood. There is no compromise. Be strong and call forth daring, valor and courage.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Your energy is up and down, high and low, there and not there. Your responsibilities, however, remain, and each day more and more appear. You would rather turn away, find friends to chat with, take short trips to the bank and back, garden, and either envision or research all that’s needed for the future. When responsibilities and the need for freedom collide, it’s best to simply focus on goals. Or garden. Then you can continue to dream.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

Heavens! There are two distinctly polarized situations occurring. One keeps you behind the scenes and the other out in the world where all your values can be seen. So you talk about them because they define you.

However, you’re also pulled into quietude and silence, a sort of repose before the storm of new Gemini energy coming. Perhaps it’s a lot of praise. Or a move. Or a revelation.

You consider your resources and wonder if they need redirecting and you wonder if you’re using them efficiently for both long and short term needs and then family needs crop up and you worry and fret and don’t sleep nights and the past reappears and you’re hurting sometimes and sometimes need help. It’s hard to ask for help. And hard to trust it will come. But ask. It will.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Each day more clarity about work and purpose and resources occurs and each day you feel more courage to pursue unusual goals, to fight for what’s right, to realize that a values shift is taking place in your life and this shift may create a future you only hoped for. Your hopes are calling up all the hidden dreams and wishes you’ve ever had. They ask you to follow and open your heart of 12 petals.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The past years have been perplexing, puzzling, demanding and challenging. There’s been a shifting of structures, a sense of being captured by a taskmaster giving you many responsibilities to tend to. After all responsibilities are completed and lessons learned you will feel freedom and relief from the taxing demands and tests You should quietly celebrate. And tend now to that new state of awareness growing within.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You had obligations and responsibilities. Then your dreams came and nestled amid your obligations.

And you had to choose. And then relationship issues (questions?) cropped up and you had more than you could handle. Something is changing you. It’s pushing you to break the mold and all previous patterned ways of being. Follow this urging. It’s a call from your future compelling you onward. Don’t resist.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Tremendous work was called for this month and it will continue. If you take each day and work slowly through it (like a Taurus), then you will come to the end of each day with feelings of great success and pride of accomplishment.

First the Dweller then the Angel of the Presence contacts you. Tend to resources (you as resource) and money very carefully. Be prepared, after a small respite, for new creative endeavors to appear. Rest now.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Your creative force can be found in the garden, woods, fields and meadows. It can be found with hands in the Earth, growing plants with deep roots, and building a pantry filled with sweet and savory edibles. These comforts will safeguard you in the times to come. Are you called to be out and about and present something to the world? You work hard for all that you have. There’s so much good around you to be passionate about.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 The focus is on communication, how and with whom.

It’s also on short distance travels, here and there. And siblings. And how you learn. Are many people in your life seeking your attention? Do you feel a bit jittery and unsure, then both delighted and confused (wondering about the future)? Don’t be unkind to those who disagree or think at a different pace than you. You want both beauty and security with all interactions and relationships.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You are being urged into a new state of independence.

Know that you are fully capable and have the essential qualities and gifts to rely upon yourself, to move forward into your future and make correct decisions based upon your needs and no longer the needs of others (which Pisces looks to first). Courage is presenting itself. Wear it like a shawl, a mantle and a crown.

TINA SHORT, 38-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Artist/painter (tinashort.com) Hobbies: Mountain biking, hiking, hanging out with my kids/family and friends, painting (yes!) cooking Astrological sign: Libra What first got you to Shopper’s? I would come shopping with my mom when I was about 10.

She would send me to the meat department with a list. I was really shy as a kid, and that was one way of coaxing me out of it. As a teenager I had crushes on a few of the butchers. I went from shy to becoming excited about riding my bike here to shop! When I first lived on my own, I could only afford simple basic meals like barbecues, tacos, burritos, and pasta. When I became pregnant with twins, I nourished my body with more of Shopper’s meats and its beautiful organic veggies. It’s been an evolution.

You prefer shopping local? Absolutely. Shopper’s is a true home-town store. It’s old-school, comfortable and easy. I like the layout and that they don’t move things around like some stores do. And the size: Sometimes you need to squeeze by people in the aisles — I like having to make eye contact and I enjoy that momentary connection. I always run into someone I know and wind up having a conversation, even if it’s brief. The boys love it too! You guys like coming here? ZANDER: We like Shopper’s because everything is fresh, and it feels good to go to a place I know by heart. ROWAN: Ditto.

What’s your opinion of Shopper’s over-all pricing?

I’ve priced it out. Shopper’s isn’t expensive, not for the quality you get. As a single mom and artist, if I can afford to shop here, then pretty much anybody can. I spend less money by shopping here more often, rather than shopping at big box stores and getting $300 worth of nothing! Thanks to Shopper’s, I can make an amazing meal with whatever’s in the fridge. We really like the marinated skirt steaks and the bloody mary pork chops, as well as the whole chickens, and ham hocks for split pea soup. Did I mention that everyone who works here is great?!

“I spend less money by shopping here more often, rather than shopping at big box stores and getting $300 worth of nothing!”
