OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE As much as I love doing the Green Issue every year, I always dread it a little, too. We cover the local environmental movement a lot throughout the year, and I always feel like the cover story for the Green Issue should be something epic—or at least something that provides a larger perspective beyond a single green effort, problem or product.

But when you start digging into the science of eco-friendliness, it’s hard to present the technical findings in a way that doesn’t make people’s eyes glaze over. This is especially true with stories about alternative energy. Some people keep up on the latest photovoltaic cells, it’s

Re: “Zone Defense” (GT, 5/31): I’m a bornand-raised Santa Cruz resident, 27 years old, and intend to stay in Santa Cruz until my grandchildren can’t stand me any longer! I’ve visited a number of desirable, unique, modest-sized towns across the U.S., and can say that the “housing density/ population growth” debate is a shared topic of discussion. I can also tell you that in my experience, whether you’re speaking with locals in Missoula, Bend or Santa Barbara, the large majority of people already living in town do not desire further urbanization. I count myself in that camp.

People want to move to Santa Cruz because it is not overpopulated, doesn’t succumb to urban sprawl and preserves its landscapes and seascapes. Ironically, it is exactly those attributes that will be erased by increased housing—building up and building out. Continued development will eventually leave the Santa Cruz that people are chasing nowhere to be found. I absolutely agree with Brian Mayer, quoted in the article.

The 65,000 or so people already living here should and must come first—always.

I understand my position is frustrating for those people who’d like to move here,

true, but what’s really at the heart of the push for renewable energy is people, not panels.

So when our writer Andrea Patton started telling me about Joe Jordan, I was thrilled. He’s one of those people whose enthusiasm for ecology is infectious, and his history with the local alternative-energy movement is fascinating. Suddenly he was introducing her to other, equally interesting fixtures of the local environmental movement, like Don Harris, Bob Stayton and Chris Bley.

With their various efforts in the full range of “sky power” options, their perspectives on decades of challenges and changes, and their endearing quirkiness (seriously, check out that Area 51 anecdote), these are the kind of personalities that the Green Issue needs.

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

but that logic can be applied ad infinitum.

For instance, I wish I’d been born in 1965—I could have afforded an amazing house on the Westside for next to nothing. And so on ... timing is a cruel master.

My point is this: There is nothing that morally or practically compels the City of Santa Cruz to build more housing because tech workers over the hill and people visiting on the weekends say “the price isn’t right” or “the inventory isn’t there.” Let’s make the priority optimizing life for people already living here—of all backgrounds and walks of life—as opposed to increasing the net new number of residents.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: LEASH PATROLS While I’m glad there are off-leash dog parks … most are very small enclosures that are smaller than my own backyard, and they’re often so crowded that my dog still can’t run unencumbered. It also increases the possibility that the dogs will share disease, and with so many animals in such a confined area there’s a greater chance of conflict with other dogs. Most of them seem more akin to prison exercise yards than playgrounds.

IN IT TO WIN IT

HELPING HAND

Until recently, there was no reason for Santa Cruzans to think too much of the Paris Agreement, aka the Paris climate accord, because California has its own aggressive plan to cut emissions, that local governments have been implementing. But now that President Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the agreement, other groups have been signing on.

That list now includes world-class companies like Tesla and Apple, universities, like UCSC, and more than 180 communities, including the city and county of Santa Cruz.

Tracy Vu—whose Tracy’s Nails salon on 41st Avenue always wins a “Best Of Santa Cruz County” award—is trying to build a better life for young people. Vu is building an orphanage in her native Vietnam, as documented in a Twitter post from her son Truong Xe that has gone viral, and later in an article by BuzzFeed News. Vu told BuzzFeed she wasn’t able to go past the fifth grade, so she wanted to give back and support education in her home country.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 5 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Unless you were raised by a pack of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now! What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with? Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a full-scale immersion in innocent eagerness. And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers. The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself.

As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing, and valuable.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 What I wish for you, Taurus, is toasted ice cream and secrets in plain sight and a sacred twist of humorous purity. I would love for you to experience a powerful surrender and a calm climax and a sweeping vision of a small but pithy clue. I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

GEMINI May21–June20 In Dr. Seuss’s book, Horton Hatches an Egg, an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous. By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges. But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini. The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right. But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 It’s prime time for you to break through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion. To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felt-tip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon series The Simpsons, says that a great turning point in his early years came when his Scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening.

“Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the Scoutmaster. And then, “instead of the Earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees—nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to. Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Nineteen of my readers who work in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.” In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising.

Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world. Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas, and your products.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you half-crazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch. Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource. Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemn-faced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous self-correction and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Are you familiar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space. Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational, and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 As a recovering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism towards my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-theworld-aholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strung-out. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks. To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The potential breakthrough I foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hard-earned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened. It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.”

THE INNOVATORS OF COMFORT™

THE INNOVATORS OF COMFORT™

By Datta Khalsa, Broker The following question was recently asked by a long-time client of mine who is considering a condo to broaden her options in the midst of our current market of record-high prices for real estate:

Q: After getting the Homeowners Association documents you sent me, I realize I’ve never purchased a home that’s part of an HOA. That’s a lot of reading material! Anything I should be aware of that’s out of the ordinary?

A: Living in an HOA-run complex could be characterized as becoming part of a small village of nosy neighbors who have shared authority over how the outside of your place gets painted and when. That said, there is some advantage to having someone else handle details like the hazard insurance and exterior maintenance of your home and the common areas, even though it does come at a price of HOA fees, which are not tax deductible.

The complex you are looking at is generally known to have a particularly well-run Homeowners Association from what I’ve heard, and their management team has a good reputation for handling their maintenance issues proactively.

The last time I handled a sale in there, the HOA dues did not cover replacement of roofs (which is not common) or windows (which is common) but that may have changed and could be looked up in the Homeowners Association docs you were sent.

The Rules and Regulations are set by the Board of Directors and are subject to change from time to time as needed to best serve the needs of the residents. If you don’t like how things are getting run you can always join the board—just when you thought you didn’t have enough on your plate!

Another risk is the potential for getting hit with large lump sum assessments for major repairs to the complex for matters which may or may not directly impact the unit you are looking at, so you will want to carefully review the operating budget and recent meeting minutes to see if anything is coming up that wouldn’t be covered by the reserves.

Choosing to purchase a condo or townhouse can indeed provide a reasonable option in these times where housing prices are becoming less accessible, but it is all that more important to do the additional research to help make sure that your affordable alternative stays affordable, taking into account the extra moving parts that are involved as a member of a Homeowners Association and everything that comes with it.

As far as special things to be aware of, probably the main risk in buying a condo is the potential to get tied up in construction defect litigation, which can make financing difficult to get until settled and temporarily drive prices down.

Something like 7 out of 10 complexes nationwide end up in litigation during the first 10 years after construction but that association had their lawsuit settled a long time ago.

RE: CANNABIS RULES

RE: YIMBYS

Another area of regulation that I have not seen addressed is the dirty word: insurance.

California regulators want all marijuana businesses to carry liability insurance to be eligible for a license to operate when they start issuing them Jan. 1. Because very few carriers are on board to write cannabis insurance, they are already seeing a huge influx of new applications. And, processing cannabis policies already takes longer than other policies, so owners should not wait for the mandates to kick in.

YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) practices class warfare and division. Their entire movement was founded by developers and real estate billionaires a couple of years ago to brainwash entitled upper middle-class white men in the Bay Area. All well-documented facts.

— MATT SUESS

— CM BERGER

Great article! The reasoning of the YIMBY movement is clear: In the midst of the worst housing shortage we’ve ever seen, we must build more housing. That means housing of all types: affordable housing, homeless shelters, ADUs and yes, market rate housing, too!

WELLNESS “I’ve read a lot of self-help books and blogs that told me what to do. They told me to ‘relax,’ ‘think positive,’ ‘stay calm,’ ‘meditate,’ ‘don’t worry, be happy’—and it all sounded good in theory. But I still didn’t know how. So in The Joy Plan, I address the how,” she says.

As a preview to her upcoming book launch at the MAH on July 14, we picked Roman’s brain for some insights into the science of our blessed birthright—joy.

REJOICEFUL RELEASE Kaia Roman launches her book ‘The Joy Plan’ at 7 p.m. on July 14 at the Museum of Art and History,

Joy to the Girl

Local author uncovers the science of joy With nothing left to lose, Roman immersed herself in the challenge of seeking joy in every day. She began to blog about the mental shifts she’d begun to notice, and plunged herself into researching the science behind gratitude, mindfulness, meditation, the law of attraction, and many other concepts common to Facebook memes.

The blog eventually became a book, The Joy Plan: How I Took 30 Days to Stop Worrying, Quit Complaining, and Find Ridiculous Happiness, published by Sourcebooks, and already available at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

“I wrote The Joy Plan because it was an idea that would not leave me alone. I couldn’t stop my hands from

writing it,” says Roman.

Needless to say, being the lab rat in one’s own joy-pursuing experiment worked in her favor, and she didn’t stop at 30 days. Her methods for a more joyous life are outlined in detail in the book, which reads more like an honest journey of self-discovery than a preachy prescription. It’s a personal approach that keeps the storyline just juicy enough to wash down a substantial dose of scientific research. And, despite its packaging as a self-help book, a genre some people might hide behind a New Yorker magazine at the public pool, it’s an engrossing read with one foot planted firmly in the rich soil of science.

Seeking joy in every moment seems like it could lead pretty quickly to overindulgence—but you define joy as being closer to the Greek concept of eudaemonia, or “human flourishing,” than to hedonism.

While the main purpose of The Joy Plan is to feel good, it isn’t just about being hedonistic. It’s about learning how to use our feelings as a feedback system. I wanted to create lasting joy, not a temporary feeling of satiety. And I didn’t want to cloud my awareness with alcohol, drugs, or other indulgences, even if they could give me a temporary high, because I wanted to be fully present to notice the signs, opportunities, and changes I was looking for.

In scientific studies, subjects who rated high on the scale for eudaemonia (which is basically a fancy Greek word for joy) also showed higher immunity and lower inflammation in their blood samples. While subjects who rated high for hedonism, on the other hand, showed the opposite.

hen local mother, wife, businesswoman and author Kaia Roman experienced the premature fizzling of her epigenetics start-up company in October of 2014, things got bad.

As in, she went into a “tailspin” of depression and anxiety, and took refuge in her bed for long hours. But in the space that had once been filled with 14-hour days of screen time and molar-grinding busy-ness, a new plan hatched for her own salvation.

The seed was planted by a friend, who shared an eye-roll-inducing idea that committing to one’s own joy for 30 days could yield life-changing results.

BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

You distinguish between happiness and joy. How does joy differ from happiness—and why is it a healthier emotion to seek?

KAIA ROMAN: Happiness is a cognitive experience based in the brain’s cortex. It’s a state of mind, which comes and goes easily.

Happiness activates the sympathetic nervous system, which activates the brain’s fight or flight response—it feels exciting and stimulating to the body. Joy is a subconscious experience, an emotion based in the brain’s limbic system. Joy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls rest and relaxation—it feels calming and soothing to the body.

<11 Do you think that the desire for money and material possessions was a counterproductive mechanism to your joy?

I think that a fixation on any outcome (money, fame, possessions, or even helping people or solving the world’s problems) to the point that you no longer take pleasure in the process is counterproductive to joy. Because all that ever really exists is this present moment, anyway.

You identify sex as a key ingredient in your Joy Plan. How and why does sex lead to more joy?

Orgasms are amazing. They flood our brains with endorphins, reduce our cortisol levels, and induce a feeling of relaxation. Studies have shown that regular orgasms can regulate the menstrual cycle, due to a balancing effect on female hormones. Orgasms increase dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) hormone levels in the body, improving memory, brain function and even the appearance of skin. Orgasm, as well as the skin-to-skin contact in sex, increases oxytocin – often called the “love” hormone, which is actually a neuropeptide that regulates heart function, reduces cell death and inflammation, and increases feelings of love, trust, peace, and well-being.

While we can experience some of these physiological benefits through exercise or cuddles with loved ones or solo sex, it’s pretty fun to share it with a partner.

Of course key ingredients for joy must vary from person to person, but can you list any others that may be universal?

I think gratitude is the fastest, easiest ticket to joy. Thoughts of gratitude release dopamine in the brain, which feels good and lowers stress. The more frequently you train your brain to focus on what you’re grateful for, the more easily your thoughts will gravitate toward optimism—thanks to the phenomenon known as neuroplasticity, in which our brains form new neural connections during repeated thoughts and experiences.

And since your thoughts inform your words and actions, and your actions contribute to your experience of life, gratitude can quickly change your reality. Our brains have an inbuilt cognitive bias which predisposes us to remember negative information

more readily than positive. This creates the perfect storm for fear and hopelessness. It’s easy to slip into feeling like the world is a dark and scary place, and nothing is safe or sacred anymore. But we don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are. A shift in perspective can sometimes change everything.

Gratitude is a powerful antidote to negativity and fear.

We’ve all been bludgeoned with the dangers of stress. But you came across the concept of eustress, which can actually be beneficial. How do we tell the difference?

Eustress (eu means “good” in Greek) was a term coined by endocrinologist Hans Selye to describe the kind of stress that activates your body to work toward a tangible goal. Eustress is a type of stress that feels more like excitement or anticipation that you can thrive on. Instead of causing your body and mind to shut down or go into fight-or-flight mode, eustress actually motivates you to get what you want.

I know that when I face a challenging event, like a disagreement with a loved one, I can either approach the situation as a problem, or as an opportunity for growth. This distinction can mean the difference between distress and eustress.

The book reveals so much about yourself, including things like the notes you’ve taped to your mirror—things that many people would be mortified to have anyone else see. Did you have trepidation about sharing so freely?

Actually, since I never intended to write a book in the first place, and was mostly keeping track of the experience for myself, I still don’t really think about anyone else reading it.

Although I’m the furthest thing from a self-help guru, I believe in the power of words and stories to transform. And yes, I read my own book. And it really helps. The Joy Plan sits on my nightstand and is a daily practice for me. As Toni Morrison said, “If there’s a book you’re longing to read and you haven’t found it yet, then you must write it.” That’s why I wrote The Joy Plan—because I needed to read it.

‘W

e’re still in the Wild, Wild West, but there’s room for everybody, especially in the category we’ve created,” says Gladys*, as she spreads some cannabis-infused padrón pepper jam on her linguiça sausage. “The world is our oyster right now.”

In business since February, Toasted Jam Co. has already garnered attention from outlets like EdiblesMagazine. com and 420FoodieClub.com. Started

by Gladys and her business partner Mitch*, the company features two types of jams, Blackberry Kush OG and Toasted Padrón. Both are made from organic materials, including locally sourced padrón peppers and

local cannabis, too. The blackberry jam features the Blackberry Kush, an indica strain from Marti’s Garden in Felton, and the pepper concoction features Sour Diesel, a sativa strain from Tres Arboles Farms.

They send batches of each to SC Labs for testing of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, a non-psychoactive chemical compound found to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Unlike many companies, Toasted Jam uses unprocessed kief, a part of the plant from the flower’s crystallized pollen, or trichomes.

Kief is faster-acting than other parts of the plant—allowing a consumer to try a little bit, wait 20 minutes or so and then see if they want more.

“This means the consumer has the power to ‘turn up the volume.’

They can pair it with a grilled cheese sandwich, [put it] on their buttered toast or on carnitas,” says Gladys, who’s also a culinary school graduate and a sommelier. “People have more control because we’ve all had that bad edible moment of overconsumption.”

Gladys and Mitch periodically update the Toasted Jam Instagram account with sweet and savory recipes for amateur chefs that would impress even the most skeptical of food critics.

After 56 percent of voters approved Proposition 64 last year, cannabis has been legal in California.

James Alamillo, of the nonprofit Heal the Bay, says that no matter how poor the water is under the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf, swimmers and surfers in that area should be OK—so long as they pick their spots carefully.

Alamillo, who graduated from UCSC in 1992, says he tells everyone who asks about Cowell Beach—notorious for flunking water quality tests and landing atop Heal the Bay’s annual Beach Bummer list—that they should “just swim away from the pier.” He feels the environmental nonprofit, based in Santa Monica, has always been clear about this: Sure, the water’s bad at the wharf, but the whole of Cowell Beach is not one big cesspool.

Still, this year’s press release announcing the report card—which came out last month, a couple weeks late this year— plainly states that Cowell is the third-worst beach in the state, an improvement over previous years. The release makes no mention of the wharf.

“In that case, that is on us,” he says, “so I apologize for that.”

To be fair, the report card’s brief online summary does specify that the troubled site is “west of the wharf,” but still doesn’t explain what that really means. Nor does it say just how tiny the problematic region is. Buried in the full 75-page report card, though, the listings mention 13 coastal testing spots, including two nearby—known as “Cowell Beach, Lifeguard Tower” and “Santa Cruz Main Beach at the Boardwalk.”

Both of those passed, as they usually do, with flying colors. And both are within a couple hundred feet of the wharf.

Confused about the safety of the water, Cowell Surf Shop Owner Kathy Pappas hopes environmental nonprofits and government officials can get on the same page and be more publicly straightforward about the limited scope of the problems.

She wishes the public-health warnings that are often posted at the beach would make that more specific.

Reflation Replaces Deflation in Europe And U.S. Rates Stop Dropping Lock Now at the 2017 Bottom!

Q: When mortgage rates held steady and even dropped a bit after the Fed raised the discount rate, I decided to wait to see if rates would continue to drop. Is there a chance of that? What is my best option today for a 30-, 20- and 15-year fixed rate?

A: With the current drama in Washington and Brexit in Europe, anything is possible—but absent big and bad news for the world and its economies, drops in rates are not expected any time soon.

On Wednesday June 28, the head of the European Central Bank announced that, in Europe, “Deflation is dead” and “reflation” is starting, which means that inflation is waking up after years of being on hold. ECB President Mario Draghi announced that, like the Fed here in the U.S., the ECB plans to taper stimulus programs and allow interest rates to rise.

Just the hint of “reflation” caused bond traders around the world to sell bonds and Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) and this threatens to push rates back above the LOWS OF 2017 THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. NOW IS THE TIME TO LOCK RATES AT THE LOWS OF 2017 BEFORE TRADER SELLING BEGINS TO PUSH BOND AND MBS PRICES LOWER AND RATES UPWARDS. LOCK NOW. YOU’LL BE HAPPY THAT YOU DID!

NEWS SEEING GREEN <13 a medical card, however, won’t be official until the beginning of 2018, at the earliest. And there are many unanswered policy questions from the federal all the way to the local level, especially after the county’s cannabis licensing official resigned last month.

But the Santa Cruz industry has seen a bloom of interest with new edible cannabis manufacturers, CBD oils and phone apps popping up.

“There’s a giant opportunity to have a new kind of progressive development in town,” says Pat Malo, executive director of Green Trade, which aims to be a chamber-ofcommerce type organization for those in cannabis. “The tax revenue—along with job creation—can help with some of the city’s major issues.”

If the gourmet market of specialty jams isn’t for everyone, there are plenty of options for those seeking a more classic cookie, like ones sold

by Big Pete’s Treats. Although the founder, “Big” Pete Feurtado, has been making medicated cookies since 1979, his company didn’t start until 2009.

“When I was cultivating [cannabis] we had all this extra product,” Feurtado remembers. “So I thought, ‘Shoot, why don’t we make cookies?’”

Eight years later, Big Pete’s Treats is one of California’s leaders in medicated cookie products. Located off 17th Avenue, the company’s high-quality delectables can be found in dispensaries from Shasta to San Diego, featuring 12 different flavors, with gluten- and sugar-free options available.

Like Toasted Jam, Big Pete’s cannabis comes from local farms, and Feurtado doesn’t miss the days of relying on Humboldt for supply.

Their cookies, which are also SC Labs certified, have earned a reputation—having won multiple awards, like the 2015 Santa Cruz Cup

for “Best Cannabis Edible,” and two first-place awards at the 2014 San Francisco Hempcon.

Other local entrepreneurs have found similar success lately. Cosmo D’s Outrageous Edibles, based in the Santa Cruz Mountains, took home the “Best Edible” and “Best Dessert” awards at the most recent Hempcon, after being in business for only a few months.

As marijuana emerges from the black market, experts have done more studies on the healing properties of the plant. Shane Santucci, a Santa Cruz resident, has been extracting cannabidiol from cannabis to manufacture a number of products, including a healing cream he calls Grateful Dude Balm, which boasts a list of all-organic ingredients.

“There’s a whole list of herbs for healing,” Santucci says, “like the marjoram in it is really good for women experiencing cramps.”

NEWS BRIEFS BLITZ AND PIECES Just over a month ago, UCSC undergrads voted to pass a $38.50 quarterly fee to support athletics for the next 25 years.

The effort was a long, two-year process, especially given the mixed feedback that student campaigners say they got from skeptics who believe OPERS, the school’s athletic department, mismanages its funding.

The fee will generate about $1.1 million for OPERS each year, while Chancellor George Blumenthal pledged an additional $500,000 annually.

Coaches and athletes tabled and petitioned, encouraging students to vote for Measure 68. Now they feel betrayed after learning that all seven of the NCAA assistant coaches and two head coaches have been laid off and another pressured into retiring.

“I feel sorry for the students that worked hard on the

referendum and were deceived about what was going to happen,” says head swim coach Kim Musch, whose position as aquatics director was terminated on June 23, prompting him to step down as coach. “[The administration] knew during the referendum that this was the plan, because you don’t develop a management plan in two weeks and then do this.”

After a nearly 20-year career, Musch was offered a position for less than 40 percent of his previous salary as solely the head coach of swimming and diving, a move that would have jeopardized his retirement.

The coaches were given a week’s notice at most—some only two days—and told to clear out their desks by Friday, June 30. “I don’t care if it follows every policy, there are things that are morally wrong to do to people,” Musch says.

Nine other head coaches were offered three-year

contracts that refine their roles to only the scope of their respective teams, specifying that each position may be terminated at any time, with or without cause. To sign, the coaches must waive all of their procedural rights.

“When you are running a department on fear, and everybody is at-will, you can’t be trusting and honest with management at that point,” says Musch. “I am worried about the coaches remaining because they will be working in an atmosphere of fear.”

UCSC also laid off women’s soccer coach Emily Scheese, as well as Jamey Harris, the cross-country and track and field coach. Those decisions came after “a thorough and deliberate review of all the NCAA team programs,” according to an email sent to the school’s sports community from OPERS Executive Director Andrea Willer, who referred GT to UCSC spokesperson Scott

Hernandez-Jason for comment.

Scheese and Harris had both previously received coachof-the-year honors and were respected and loved by athletes, student sources say. Musch and other coaches say there was never any review process.

But going forward, Hernandez-Jason says that, by having coaches focus more directly on their respective teams, the university can allocate tasks to other staffers.

Since 2013, there have been nearly 40 people in OPERS that have left or been laid off.

Of these positions, at least 18 have not been filled.

“These decisions were made during the summer without us there,” says third-year soccer player and Student Athlete Advisory Committee Co-chair Kayla McCord.

“These decisions were made on the heels of a victory that was greatly impacted by each of the coaches involved.”

BEACH PLEASE <13

they say we heard the beach is polluted, and it gives us a bad reputation,” says Pappas, who sometimes isn’t sure what to believe herself.

The results do fluctuate.

Parks employees have been stapling chicken wire under the wharf to deter pooping pigeons, who like to roost under the pier and may be the biggest contributor to the water quality issues. As of Thursday, even the water by the wharf had good results, prompting the health advisory signs warning against water contact and ingestion to come down, at least for now.

This year’s report card also gave slightly better grades for coliform levels to Cowell than to a site at Capitola Beach, west of the jetty. And yet Cowell beach came in ranked four spots higher—or dirtier—than Capitola.

There is more to that than numbers, though.

“There is a certain amount of subjectivity, looking at the Beach Bummer list,” Alamillo admits. “And the some of that

stems from where do you put the grade’s weight? Do you put it on the summer season? Or on the year-round season? I would put more weight on the summer season and a beach having more visitors.”

He adds that Heal the Bay took the beach’s recent history of failed results into account, as well.

(Thinking aloud, Alamillo suggests Heal the Bay might want to start studying beaches near piers to see if they always perform worse, because other bad beaches appear to be near such structures, too.)

Water Resources Division Director John Ricker oversees the part of the county health department responsible for water testing. He says that although they’re working to improve the quality, someone would probably have to swim under the pier and start drinking a bunch of ocean water in order to get sick. And even then, the salt would probably upset their stomach before the bacteria did. State regulators developed the testing standards for human sewage, and trace amounts of animal waste are far less dangerous.

Akin Babatola, laboratory and environmental compliance manager for the city, told GT in May that the county’s Colilert tests are “flawed” and therefore the rankings are too. The tests, he says, can show an alarmingly high number of coliforms, and it’s impossible to tell if those organisms are the bad ones, like E. coli, or good ones, found in a thriving ecosystem.

Alamillo is skeptical. He argues that everyone has always known the Colilert tests have problems, but agencies signed off on them years ago, because they were cheap and easy. Differing levels of coliforms at different beaches amounts to nothing more than a statistical variance, he says, that should even out over time.

“How do I put this correctly? Everyone’s right—how about that? What I mean by that, he’s nitpicking on something that was known ever since Colilert was implemented,” he says.

Ricker concurs that alternative tests are more expensive, adding that no tests are 100-percent accurate.

But Babatola contends that the tests aren’t more expensive. When he worked for

the city of San Jose 23 years ago, one of his employees wrote a dissertation proving that the more precise microfiltration method is actually no more expensive, he says. The only perceived cost difference is that a microbiologist with a degree must administer such a test, which he says is standard practice for water quality testing, anyway. He adds that the city has been doing microfiltration, collaborating with the Cowell Working Group, which formed a couple years ago to clean up water quality.

Those results show that the total coliforms are very high, compared with the amounts of E. coli near the wharf—a trend he doesn’t see at other city beaches, he says.

Reached for follow-up, Alamillo says that, if microfiltration is so superior, maybe local officials should start using it for all of their official reporting on local beaches.

“All we’re doing is using their data to then give to the public in a unified method that they can understand,” he says. “We’re all for it.”

native started Grateful Dude in 2015, when a friend showed him a different ointment, and he felt inspired. An experienced chef from the realm of edibles, Santucci realized the potential for such a powerful cream and created his own version the next day. Initially just made for friends, Santucci knew he had something special when he tested out Grateful Dude at Burning Man that year.

“That’s when I first started believing in it,” he remembers. “Now I’m waking up everyday to emails from paraplegics and cancer patients saying it’s the only thing that makes [them] feel good.”

Santucci makes batches of 10 to 37 pounds, keeping his operation relatively small for quality control, and also has his products tested at SC Labs. The balm is available in one-, four- and eight-ounce jars, through his website, thedudebalm. com, and at some dispensaries throughout the county and state.

“I love Santa Cruz because everyone is open to [cannabis] as a healing agent,” says Santucci. “If I wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be making this.”

The tech industry, too, may be finding a seat at the table, and the newly launched, iheartjane.com, hopes to lead the way.

Socrates Rosenfeld, who’s originally from Santa Cruz, created the website, working with local dispensaries to inform customers which products they have on shelves and how much of it.

“People go online because it’s convenient but the same product you bought from Amazon could be down the street,” says Rosenfeld.

“But those small businesses don’t have the capability to showcase their product in real time.”

Rosenfeld—a West Point and MIT graduate with Silicon Valley experience—along with his business partners and his two co-founders have already expanded their market to Colorado, and they’re looking to open up in San Jose and San Francisco soon.

“This is Santa Cruz,” Rosenfeld says. “In just this little town there are so many cool, small businesses … We’re trying to make connections with all of them.” *Name has been changed to protect source’s anonymity.

Braving the Elements Local pioneers in the alternative-energy movement look back at how far we’ve come, and how much more there is yet to do BY ANDREA PATTON

I

sky power—solar, wind, hydro, biomass and geothermal—it’s made up of four individuals who represent a local nucleus of alternative-energy activism.

Jordan, Harris, Stayton and Bley have spent decades innovating, educating and pushing for Earthfriendly solutions to our energy needs, and they are seeing the movement pick up. They feel now is the time for a sky power revolution.

“Enough hand-wringing already,” says Jordan. “It’s time for ass kicking!”

JOE JORDAN: THE RENEWABLE GLUE As we drive to Last Chance, Jordan fills my ears with nonstop information that includes a crash course on how electricity is generated by wires and magnetism through the processes of burning and turning. In my few hours with him, I learn way more than I did sitting through years of science classes, but in particular I’m drawn to his love of nature and unending wonder at the magnificence of the universe. His nickname, which he earned on a Big Sur trip with Norris and his students, is “Cosmic Joe.” Jordan has been leading “true tall tales of the universe” astronomy and stargazing hikes around the area for decades. He points out Sparky’s window as we near Swanton Road.

“It’s what I call ‘Rapture in the Pasture,’ he says. “It’s my Rapture in the Pasture hike.”

Jordan is also the co-host of a weekly radio show on KSCO called Planet Watch. Together, he and Rachel Anne Goodman, a journalism professor and radio producer who earned a Peabody award for her work as managing editor for NPR’s DNA Files radio series, provide an entertaining balance of reality and theoretical solutions.

After we stop to take a look at Big Creek, near the starting point of his popular group hikes up to a 100-foot waterfall, Jordan returns to his favorite topic: energy solutions.

“In the U.S., it’s strictly policylagging, on purpose,” he says of how long it’s taking alternative energy to catch on in this country.

“I mean, the fossil fuel industry is behind it, no question about it. It’s now been proven that they knew back in the ’60’s what a horrendous mess burning carbon was creating.

Exxon knew. There’s a whole thing, ‘#Exxonknew.’ They knew this stuff and they kept it secret, just like the tobacco industry. It’s the exact analogy.”

Jordan’s “sobering sense of reality,” as he calls it, anchors his genuine enthusiasm for the potential of a new way of looking at energy. In Jordan’s view, if we were able to make renewable energy a focus, we could solve a lot of the world’s problems, both social and environmental.

“If we were enlightened, and knowledge actually ruled, along with truth and virtue, the whole world would be solar-powered

meet Joe Jordan at his Westside home a little after sunrise for an hour-long journey up into the redwoods, through what he calls “the land that time forgot” to the off-the-grid community of Last Chance.

As we set off in Jordan’s electric vehicle, a Chevy Spark named “Sparky” that has remarkable pick up (which he loves to demonstrate for his unsuspecting riders), he says, “We’re off on the greatest adventure of our lives.” It’s a saying he got from UCSC Natural History professor Ken Norris, and one that Jordan fully embraces.

Jordan is an astronomer and a proponent of what he once called in a TED Talk “sky power”—his favorite designation for renewable energy that originates in nature, like solar, water and wind power.

“They are all clean, limitless, homegrown and democratically distributed energy sources. What’s not to like about that?” he asks.

We’re there to visit Don Harris, a self-taught tinkerer who isn’t afraid to experiment with electricity, and invented a micro hydroelectric system that he managed to manufacture for distribution entirely off-grid back in 1979. He was also the first person in Santa Cruz to install solar panels.

After Harris, Jordan will go on to introduce me, over the course of the next couple of weeks, to Bob Stayton and Chris Bley.

Not only does the expertise of this small network encompass a range of elements in Jordan’s

But we need the money to try.”

That’s where political organizations like the Monterey Bay Regional Climate Action Compact and Citizens’ Climate Lobby come in, he says.

“If it’s really expensive to do the bad things, and cheaper to do the good things, that will get a whole bunch of people to do the good things without a dictator,” he says.

“Somebody has to set that price on carbon, and that’s what the Citizens’ Climate Lobby looks into. They’re really savvy about how Congress works, and doesn’t.”

Jordan, who recently attended both the Climate March and the Science March in Washington D.C., has his eye on the lobby. “They’re building up this thing called Climate Solutions Caucus in Congress, which is growing two by two. Every Republican that comes in has to

bring a Democrat. Every Democrat brings a Republican. They’ve got 1,000 people in Washington D.C. right now. They are lobbying more than any other organization in history, even the NRA,” Jordan says.

After spending decades doing atmospheric and space research at NASA/Ames and the SETI Institute in Mountain View—studying what he describes as the two largely unrelated problems of stratospheric ozone depletion and tropospheric climate change—Jordan turned his attention to his Santa Cruz community. He served on the Board of Directors of Ecology Action of Santa Cruz, where he helped to implement the first solar PV installations on public facilities in Santa Cruz—at the City Hall annex building and Mission Hill Junior High School. Jordan worked alongside many of the solar gurus of the area, including Roger DeNault, Doug Brown, Geoff Shuey, Jack Schultz, Dave Burton, and Dave Woodworth during the years that Cabrillo College

had what Jordan calls “one of the first and very best solar programs in the whole U.S.A.” Jordan pushed Santa Cruz schools to go solar in 2000, helping to install solar panels at all of the Santa Cruz high schools. He hoped doing so would provide educational opportunities for teachers and students.

In 2014, Jordan was the keynote speaker at a conference held by the Committee for Sustainable Monterey County. The goal was to convince local governments to go solar through collaborative procurement, a system that reduces financing prices for mass buys of solar. This effort is being led

by Monterey Bay Community Power and the international solar consulting firm Optony.

For Jordan, sharing ideas and stories over the radio waves has been a longtime means of educating the public. During his undergrad years at Oberlin in Ohio, he started his first radio show, Output. “It was a crazy show about science and nature and all kinds of stories,” he tells me.

“At one point, I made the analogy of economic growth. Way back in the ’70s, I said all this devotion to economic growth, it could be a cancer. And I’m afraid that’s what we’ve got going on. That really needs to be examined,” he says.

When it comes to opinions on climate change, Goodman describes the Planet Watch audience as including skeptics on both ends of the spectrum. “We launched this show, not coincidentally, after the election,” she says. “Both of us individually were thinking, ‘I’ve gotta do something. Even if it’s one hour a week, at least I’m doing something.’

It’s become sort of a banner of resistance just to hold up facts to people and have them deal with it.”

We coast down a dirt road that leads to Harris’s off-grid hydropowered home. It is tucked in a lush land of redwoods, fresh water springs, and a stream that provides him with enough energy to power his home, and at one time, an entire factory of

hydroelectric systems.

Harris is standing there to greet us with his friend, Bliss, who made the wax castings for his hydropower hub. Harris shows us the first house on the property, which he built without any prior construction experience. He learned from his mistakes on that project, later building the home he lives in now.

Before joining the Peace Corps, Harris was a drag car racer—“we all have our polarities,” he says—but his father, who was a physicist, fueled his intellectual curiosity. He felt drawn to the back-to-the-land movement building in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

“It was exciting, the first time I stepped outside of a conventional matrix, and I loved it. Renewables were just beginning to pop in. It was the time for that to happen,” Harris says about his 20 acres that he bought for $600 an acre in 1976.

“There was a time when people didn’t even want to use metal tools to cook with. I mean, there was a real revulsion against societal norms at that time,” he says. Over time, environmental activists have kept the better practices and let a few of the more impractical ones go, he says. But the motivation for those like Harris to live simply and in tune with nature has outlasted the challenges they’ve faced in doing so.

After years devoted to developing micro-hydropower, Harris has turned his hopes toward the rapidly growing solar power movement, because it has less of a potential for interfering with natural life, he says. But he still sees the potential for using hydropower as a means of energy storage, one of the challenges for the solar industry. As we walk down to his stream, where the system that powers his home is hidden under a five-gallon paint bucket, Harris tells me, “Solar is so benign, I don’t see any downsides to it at all. It’s made out of sand.

Solar panels are essentially made out of sand, silicon. It’s not a scarce commodity.”

Harris then walks us up to the workshop where he built thousands of hydroelectric systems. He shows us

that going. It is under threat around the country,” Stayton says of net metering. “Hawaii cut it back, and the result in Hawaii is that people started putting in batteries to store their excess energy, stimulating the battery industry,” he says.

Storage is one of the primary challenges of solar energy. Harris has one possible solution, though, and it involves his specialty: hydropower as pump storage. He explains, “When you have surplus water, you pump it up into a higher reservoir, and when you need the power, you run it back down as power. Any place you have two reservoirs of water, one above the other and not too far apart below, you’ve done the work. You’ve got the infrastructure. All you need is a pipe and a turbine and some wires to hook it to the grid. So there’s an easy way to make solar not just daytime power, which is what it is now, but make it baseline power.”

Stayton applauds communities who have turned toward increased renewable energy, whether it’s wind or solar. He says there’s an important connection to be made by seeing where your energy is coming from. “As a human, you put those two together,” he says, “and you feel good about driving your electric car, or you feel good about your dishwasher working, all that stuff, but you have to have that connection.”

CHRIS BLEY: GALE FORCE “This is not just idle hope. It’s hope based on reality. Hope and heroics,” Jordan says, about the leaders in the renewable energy industry, like Chris Bley.

Bley first got involved in wind energy 18 years ago, after graduating from UCSC with a biology degree, when his rock climbing interests led him to East Germany. He and his friends were interested in the field of rope access, where workers use their rope skills to access difficultto-reach locations. They found that Germany’s tall wind turbines were a lucrative playground, and thus their company, Rope Partner, was born.

When he got started in the field

of wind energy, the first 80-meter wind turbine was being installed in Tehachapi, California. “Now,” he says, “you can stand in many points in Texas, and look 360 degrees around, and it looks like trees.”

Although wind energy may have started here, California is quickly being surpassed by windier states including Texas, Iowa and Oklahoma. Kansas, Illinois and North Dakota are catching up quickly in the Midwest.

“The communities are really making out,” says Bley, who travels widely on his large- and small-scale wind and solar inspection trips, “because they get tax money that goes back to the schools. All these stats are there, but they get lost in the noise.”

Bley, whose company InspecTools maps wind and solar systems to monitor them, says one of the best ways to see how widely distributed wind turbines are is to look at them on a map. “It’s almost like chicken pox,” he says. “It’s a movement.”

According to a recent report by the Energy Information Administration, for the first time in March, energy from wind and solar accounted for 10 percent of U.S. electricity.

The American Wind Energy Association reported that wind energy is now the number one source of renewable energy capacity in the U.S. Last year, the U.S. produced 8,183 megawatts of wind power, enough to power 24 million homes. The first General Electric manufactured wind turbines can now be seen along Highway 101 near Gonzales and the City of Soledad.

For Jordan, wind, sun and water are all part of the larger sky power vision.

Despite his frustrations with the power and influence of the “oil boy network,” he’s enthusiastic about the future of renewable energy.

“There are glimmers of hope that people are getting the message that there is a better way. And it’s exciting that there is enough work to go around for everyone to get involved,” he says. “The people can take charge with solutions and let a thousand flowers bloom. The sky’s the limit.”

ore than a decade ago, while still in college, sophomore Matt Harmon and freshman Kali Giaritta met at a party. That night, Giaritta asked Harmon if he wanted to be her “new best friend.” A little shocked by the

question, Harmon said yes.

“No one had ever asked me that,” he says now, reflecting on their meeting. “We started hanging out, and we were super compatible and liked the same music. We both wrote music that the other person could easily jump in on.”

The more they played as just a duo, the more the sound of the band shifted. They’d find ways to compensate for the lack of a full band, adding complicated parts and emphasizing quiet and loud contrasting sections. percussion, and a pitch-shifted vocal loop. It jumps into a crazy off-kilter rhythm with weird delay effects, and Giaritta singing an unexpected melody.

It’s a good entry point into the strange blend of songs in the remainder of There Is No Mountain’s set. Harmon’s guitar playing is full of odd noodling licks, the backbeat is a wash of world beat and avant-garde, and it’s all stripped down to an oddly primal musical expression— sometimes unsettling, other times filled with overwhelming happiness.

Within all of the craziness, the two of them seem like they couldn’t be enjoying themselves any more, even going so far sometimes to stare at each other, rather than the audience.

“The goal is certainly not to exclude people from the experience.

It’s a lot easier for us to watch each other and create the things that we create. I think it just depends on the mood of the people watching, and maybe how well we’re doing that night at portraying a festive inclusiveness,” Harmon says.

Some of the duo’s new songs are taking an oddly simple turn, at least for the kind of music they’re used to writing. Compared to other bands, it’s still offbeat. But for them, it’s kind of pop.

“I think we’re trying to take the pressure off the end product a little more, and just write something really from the heart,” Giaritta says. “It seems sometimes when you’re trying to write the perfect song, you just don’t do it, because you’re afraid of it not being perfect. I think we’ve been trying to let go of that fear and just bring something, and by nature that ends up being a little more simple.”

and played primarily folk-rock. In 2012, when Harmon and Giaritta wanted to hit the road full time, they decided to pare the group down to just the two of them.

“For ease and practicality, the duo is great, that’s why we originally started doing it, and now that we’ve been doing it for a while, I think it’s been really fun, Giaritta says. “You have to be creative. But also, some of the things that are best about our music, like the harmonies, show through a little bit more.”

The more they played as just a duo, the more the sound of the band shifted. They’d find ways to compensate for the lack of a full band, adding complicated parts and emphasizing quiet and loud contrasting sections.

They quickly realized that this was a very different band than the Ascetic Junkies, so they renamed the project There Is No Mountain.

They continued to challenge themselves, writing tricky parts that were just outside of their abilities.

“We’re barreling our way through something that’s very difficult for us to play, technically. So then when we’re done with the song, we’re overjoyed that we made it,” Harmon says.

They realized that when they played to new audiences, they faced a certain prejudice as a guy/girl duo with an acoustic guitar. One of their strategies was to open with one of their weirdest songs. That way anyone in the audience with the assumption that they were about to watch a cute couple play whimsical folk songs would be suddenly jolted from that wrong-headed notion.

“It’s really fun to see people’s faces go from ‘oh, this is an acoustic duo’ to ‘what is this?’” Harmon says.

That song, “Gulls,” starts off with acoustic guitar, some

This show at the luxurious Pearl Alley house of prettying and pampering departs from portraiture and, as the shows title clearly reveals, “defines landscapes,” that showcase and celebrate place in time.

415 River St, 6:30 -9:30 pm New Venue Alert! If you think you have your First Friday all mapped out already, you might consider adding one more stop, and we recommend giving yourself a little time for this one. The pairing of Uncommon Brewers and Matambre Public Eatery is frankly irresistible. Add the bold and exciting paintings of Santa Cruz artist Tessa Hope Hasty and you’ve brewed a fantastic inaugural First Friday event.

612 Ocean St, 6–9 pm “The current political situation is inspiring.” That is not a sentence you are likely to hear from a group of Santa Cruz artists and yet, as has happened throughout the history of socialized people, times of unrest, upheaval and uncertainty bring about creative and important work. This juried show is part of an ongoing conversation that artists remind us we must continue to have.

R. Blitzer Gallery – Santa Cruz Art of Guitar 2801 Mission St, 5–9 pm The exhibit and festival celebrating Santa Cruz’s deep relationship to this miraculous stringed instrument returns this month to the Westside Mecca of culture.

It’s hard to know how or why this town has produced and attracted such a wealth of the world’s guitar builders, yet as this show illustrates, the artistry, craftsmanship and history of luthiers with an 831 area code is really quite astounding.

LOCAL BAND

BONNY JUNE & BONFIRE Local Americana singer-songwriter Bonny June is excited to release her new album, Men Are For Kissin’, which should come out sometime later this year. As it’s been in the works for a year and half, she’s already got another one ready to go—and another after that is partially written. This is particularly fascinating because, while June has been singing her entire life, it wasn’t until 2012—when she released a debut album under the name Bonny Getz—that she wrote music. Then she wrote a lot.

“I have never considered myself to be a songwriter. I’d always written personal little birthday songs for my friends. Then really serious songs started coming in, and I never went back,” June says.

JULY 5-11, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Prior to her first album, she was a contestant on the MARS Studio Songwriter Showcase, put on by guitarist Ken Kraft. Kraft was so taken by her songwriting skills he offered to help her with arrangements, and to put a band together.

40

That Bonny Getz debut is a lush sixpiece big-band/country album, full of ballads. After the release, she, Kraft and bassist Craig Owens continued the process as a trio.

“That album was a catharsis for me,” June says.

Since writing that record, she’s reinvented herself as Bonny June. Her sad, personal songs are balanced with upbeat, funny ones. Giant Amazon women, were-women, and a serial killer alligator hunting down a frog appear in her set. AARON CARNES INFO: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 12.

Crow’s Nest, E Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $3. 476-4560.

ZION I

FRIDAY 7/7 ROCK

FROTH When Froth first formed in 2011, it was a joke between vocalist Joo-Joo Ashworth and omnichordist Jeff Fribourg. They even had the idea of releasing a 20-minute record without any sound. Six years later, the indie rockers have three records under their belt—all with recorded music on them—with two of them on the massively popular Burger Records.

Their latest album, Outside (Briefly), was released earlier this year on the U.K. label Wichita. But fear not: Froth might have changed labels, but the band’s music remains catchy and innocent. Opening up is local act Manorlady, a perfect pairing for fans of psychedelic, surf and indie rock.

JAZZ

KEYSTONE KORNER On the eve of celebratory concert tour marking the 45th anniversary of Keystone Korner, the owner and

guiding spirit of the iconic North Beach jazz club, Todd Barkan, was named a 2018 NEA Jazz Master, the nation’s highest jazz honor. The lineup includes bassist Ray Drummond and percussionist Kenneth Nash, who played the club’s opening tour in 1972, joined by sax great Charles McPherson, who played the last Keystone gig in 1983, which is the same year the IRS shuttered the venue. Saxophonist Azar Lawrence and bassist Juini Booth (who played on McCoy Tyner’s classic 1975 album Atlantis, recorded at Keystone), altoist Gary Bartz, and others join in.

HIP-HOP

ZION I Two years ago, hip-hop fans questioned the future of Zion I when Baba Zumbi announced that his long-time producer and collaborator, Amp Live, was quitting the group.

The duo had been writing music together since the ’90s, and many fans were skeptical about an Amp Live-less Zion I. Yet, one year later, Zumbi dropped Zion I’s 10th album, The Labyrinth, and all skepticism was

thrown out the door. The recording is easily one of Zion I’s best in years, driven by heavy bass and flowing melodies, with a modern, electronic sound that showcases Zumbi’s ever-evolving ideas on what music should be. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $17/adv, $20/door. 479-1854

SATURDAY 7/8 FOLK

CLEARWINGS A folk-rock duo out of San Francisco, Clearwings focuses on creating intimate and engaging live performances that showcase its melding of classic folk sounds and new styles.

Comprising Raven Adams on vocals and Mark Phillips on guitar and vocals, Clearwings, which takes its name from a moth that is frequently mistaken for a bird, has an authenticity and depth that elevates the outfit above the crowded folk music scene. Keep your eyes and ears on this rising Bay Area standout. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $10-$20. 703-4183.

TUESDAY 7/11 INDIE

MILD HIGH CLUB At a certain point, young indie artists

realized that ’70s soft rock bands like Steely Dan and Chicago were actually pretty cool. You can hear these groups’ breezy sounds all over new underground bands. L.A.’s Mild High Club doesn’t just regurgitate ’70s AM radio with tongue firmly planted in cheek; they warp it into something alien. Imagine any of the cool, jazzy ’70s yacht rock bands going psychedelic, landing somewhere between the Eagles, the Doobie Brothers and aliens taking over Earth.

HIP-HOP

PLAYBOI CARTI Hip-hop magazine XXL released their freshman class list a few weeks ago, and on it is Atlanta emcee Playboi Carti. With just a handful of singles and a mixtape, Carti has already amassed a noticeable following.

The rapper knows how to craft an earworm. While his songs are never overly complex lyrically or rhythmically, he has utmost confidence and charisma that is infectious. His single “Magnolia” is catchier that any rap song has a right to be. AC INFO: 6 p.m. & 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $27. 429-4135.

What do you get when you combine four bearded Portland dudes with thrift-store shirts and an array of acoustic stringed instruments? Proof that quality bluegrass will find a home in every city in the U.S., and (more importantly) that it will adapt to its surrounding culture. The foursome call themselves Left Coast Country, because they inhabit the Pacific Northwest. The sounds they crank out bring to mind classic bluegrass, steeped in a laid-back indie-inspired Portlandia-appropriate vibe. AARON CARNES

renowned for its guitar-driven fusion of Latin, Middle Eastern, and Celtic styles.

Hailing from L.A. and comprising Jim Stubblefield on guitar, JP Durand on guitar and guitar synth, Liza Carbe on bass and guitar and Tim Curle on drums, Incendio fills the space where world fusion, fingerstyle and improvisation collide. CJ

Two Gentlemen of Verona is the first Shakespeare play in which a woman crossdresses—a theme that the Bard would explore throughout his future works. The play takes on infidelity, the conflict between friendship and love, and what it means to be a gentleman.

A standout character in the play is Launce, the clown servant of aspiring gentleman Proteus, along with his scene-stealing dog, Crab. Santa Cruz Shakespeare brings what the local production company describes as the “sexy and surreal comedy” to the Grove at DeLaveaga Park Aug. 1 through Sept. 3. CAT JOHNSON

Valley of Fear JULY 5-11, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s ‘The 39 Steps,’ Hitchcock Week, and the director’s connection to Scotts Valley BY STEVE PALOPOLI

46

I

n Alfred Hitchcock’s films, Northern California was a downright terrifying landscape, full of rooftop chases, murderous relatives and berserk birds. But in real life, nothing could have been further from the truth.

“When he had the house in Scotts Valley, this is where he came to get away,” says Hitchcock’s granddaughter, Tere Carrubba, who lives in Aptos.

“There wasn’t paparazzi. It was peaceful, and he could relax.”

Carrubba will be part of Hitchcock Week, which runs July 7-13 and is meant to both celebrate the legendary director’s connection to this area, and kick off Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s

first production of their 2017 season, an adaptation by Patrick Barlow of Hitchcock’s film The 39 Steps. On Saturday, July 8, Carrubba will be at the play’s opening night at the Grove, and she’ll also introduce the screening of Psycho at the Nickelodeon on Wednesday, July 12.

Other screenings during Hitchcock Week include Spellbound at 515 Kitchen and Cocktails on Sunday, July 9; an outdoor viewing of The Birds on Monday, July 10 at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing; and Vertigo at the Crepe Place on Thursday, July 13. On Tuesday, July 11, there will be a discussion of both the film and play The 39 Steps with GT

film critic Lisa Jensen and Santa Cruz Shakespeare scholar Maria Frangos at the downtown Santa Cruz library.

Carrubba says Hitchcock loved the Bay Area in general, but he discovered Santa Cruz through actress Joan Fontaine, who was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Hitchcock’s first American film, 1940’s Rebecca.

Fontaine was raised in Saratoga, attending Los Gatos High School, and lived in the Carmel Highlands for years before her death in 2013 at age 96.

Alfred and his wife Alma Hitchcock purchased their 200-acre Scotts Valley home, not coincidentally, the same year Rebecca was released.

It was definitely a retreat for the Hitchcocks, and they tended to avoid social functions when they came to Santa Cruz, Carrubba says.

“They just wanted to be up there by themselves,” she says.

Still, it’s clear that they did a fair amount of scouting around the Bay Area, as Santa Rosa became the shooting location for 1948’s Shadow of a Doubt, San Francisco for 1958’s Vertigo, and Bodega Bay for 1963’s The Birds.

Oddly, Hitchcock’s attraction to Northern California went mostly unnoticed by the general public for decades. Perhaps it was because he used so many locations over the years—including some notably exotic international ones—but it’s all the more strange because he didn’t change the names of any of these cities in the film.

“I still don’t think it’s gotten its due,” says Paul Mullins, director of Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s The 39 Steps.

“I didn’t even know until we started talking about this play that he had this connection to Scotts Valley.”

Mullins had to get into Hitchcock’s head a little bit to direct the adaptation, but there were also times he actually had to put the film entirely out of his mind when staging The 39 Steps, because he knew there was no way he could recreate what Hitchcock had done in the film.

While the play is in many ways true to the film (much more so than the book of the same name on which Hitchcock based it), there is what Mullins calls a “madcap” comic vibe to the adaptation that both pays homage to and sends up certain elements of the original, Mullins says. But he was very surprised when he went back to watch Hitchcock’s film after not having seen it for years to discover that the sharply funny edge is much more prevalent in Hitchcock’s version than he remembered.

Fans of Hitchcock—in other words, everybody—will discover quite a few Easter eggs of interest in the play.

“There are references all through it to other Hitchcock films,” he says.

THE 39 STEPS runs July 5-Sept. 3 at the Grove, 501 Upper Park Road, Santa Cruz. For more details about this season of Santa Cruz Shakespeare or about Hitchcock Week, go to santacruzshakespeare.org.

Santa Cruz celebrates craft cider with seven days of apple-themed events BY LILY STOICHEFF

I

f the growth of craft beer has been impressive to watch, it’s nothing compared to the meteoric rise of hard cider over the last few years, bringing with it an increased demand for more flavors and styles. Of course, the “rise” of craft cider in America is really more of a comeback—before Prohibition, hard cider was America’s drink of choice. In recent years, hard cider has become the fastest-growing beverage in the craft market and bears little resemblance to the sweet, fizzy kid’s drink that might spring to mind. Today’s grown-up

libation is frequently dry, with no added sugars, and boasts an alcohol content similar to that of an IPA. With Santa Cruz County’s long history of apple cultivation, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are several local cideries who call Santa Cruz County home, including Soquel Cider, a part of Everett Family Farm; Tanuki Cider, made by a family that has been farming apples for five generations; Surf City Cider, a part of Hallcrest Vineyard; Rider Ranch Ciderworks, a husband and wife making smallbatch fine ciders; and Santa Cruz Cider Co., whose family uses apples

from an orchard in Pleasant Valley, planted in 1880.

According to sisters Nicole Todd and Natalie Henze of Santa Cruz Cider Co., the time is ripe to showcase this diverse product.

They’ve organized the first Cider Week Santa Cruz, a seven-day celebration of cider. Fourteen cideries, including five from Santa Cruz County, will pour their cider at a series of unique events at multiple venues, kicking off with Cider City at the Hop ’N’ Barley Beer & BBQ Festival on Saturday, July 15 at Skypark in Scotts Valley.

Todd hopes to use the event to

educate potential customers about what today’s hard cider is and isn’t.

“We’ve seen how successful craft beer has become and how it’s changed people’s palates and idea of what craft beer is. We want that for cider.

A lot of people have a misconception about what cider is, and we do a lot of education,” says Todd. “Most people think that cider is sweet, but actually no one is making a sweet cider locally.

Also, a lot of people think cider is non-alcoholic. We encounter that a lot at the farmers markets where we pour—parents coming up and asking if their children can taste it.”

And because it’s made from apples, cider is naturally gluten-free.

Tanuki Cider owner Robby Honda is excited to release bottles of his “Pick It Up” hard cider at a release party with chef Brad Briske to be held in the backyard garden at Home in Soquel on Sunday, July 16. Honda believes Briske’s whole, roasted pig should complement the 8.5-percent alcohol, unfiltered bottle-conditioned cider perfectly.

“It’s cloudy, medium-bodied, tart, with a fruity nose and a dry finish,” says Honda. “It should pair really well with the pig.”

Meanwhile, Todd has been working with Equinox winemaker Barry Jackson to produce a bottled cider fermented and conditioned in the traditional Champagne style. Santa Cruz Cider Co. will release their méthode champenoise cider at the Equinox tasting room on Thursday, July 20, pairing it with special ciderwashed cheeses made by Rebecca King of Garden Variety Cheese.

Henze is looking forward to the cider tap takeover at craft beer bar Lúpulo on Wednesday, July 19. “Lúpulo has become a hub for craft beer, and it will be a good opportunity to educate those drinkers. There are a lot of similarities between craft beer and cider, and it has a similar alcohol content,” says Henze. “Just because it’s cider doesn’t mean it’s sweet. It won’t give you a headache.”

The week also promises a cider social at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge, cider tasting at the Felton farmers market, and apple-themed music at the Poet & Patriot. For a full list of happenings, visit Cider Week Santa Cruz’s Facebook event page.

robiotics. Good bacteria.

Fermented foods. These are all health food buzzwords right now. But if you think it’s too late to jump on the bandwagon— surprise! You’re likely already eating fermented foods like sauerkraut, aged cheese, and uh, beer. So you should feel right at home on July 16 at the first annual Fermentation Festival, which organizers have combined with the third annual homebrew competition. Co-coordinator Katrina Schickenberg took a minute to explain why we need more fermented foods in our diet.

What’s so great about fermented foods, anyway?

KATRINA SCHICKENBERG: There’s this quote I read this morning: “We can remember what we once forgot.” I think it’s really relevant to our times.

Fermentation is something that we’ve been doing for a very long time. It was one of the building blocks for healthy living long ago. One of the things we’re dealing with in life today is the fact that we’ve lost touch with our roots.

Fermentation is all about using the

food, the vegetables that we have.

They’re already healthy, but really using them as medicine for our bodies.

That’s why we’re really passionate about it. It’s fun, too.

What are some fermented foods that’ll be at the festival?

We have probiotic sodas that are made with water kefir. I believe one of the vendors is going to have the drink Jun. Jun is similar to kombucha, but it’s brewed with green tea and honey. The most obvious fermented drinks are wine and beer.

A very classic fermented food is sauerkraut. We’re hoping to have some sort of sauerkraut and sausage combination at the festival. Kimchi is a very common fermented food.

That’s made with cabbage and a variety of other vegetables and some spices. We have some people bringing some probiotic coconut yogurt, which is supposed to be one of the besttasting things ever. Another very common food is sourdough bread.

A Cuvée Red Wine 2013 blends Syrah, Grenache and Petite Sirah BY JOSIE COWDEN

A

ccording to many sources, the definition of the French word “cuvée” can mean a superior blend of wine or “wine in vats or casks, blended—often from different vintages—for uniform quality,” according to online dictionaries. And that’s exactly what we have in Roudon-Smith’s 2013 Santa Clara Valley Cuvée Red Wine.

I tasted this Red Wine ($17) at a spring Wine Walk in downtown Santa Cruz, and enjoyed its interesting characteristics and bold flavors.

Roudon-Smith owner Al Drewke says this red blend is primarily Syrah and Grenache with just a bit of Petite Sirah. “A nose of black plum, smoke and allspice leads to flavors of smoked meat, red currant, spice, and mesquite,” Drewke says. “The wine is well-balanced with some dusty tannins that will let the wine further develop over the next five-plus years.”

Drewke used to operate a tasting room on Hangar Way in Watsonville, but since its closing some time ago, he has been looking for a new location. “The tasting room is on hold until further notice as we work

on our options to open a satellite tasting room,” says Drewke. In the meantime, his wines—including Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Merlot, and a red blend called Duet—can be bought online.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES I BUILD A LIGHTED HOUSE AND DWELL THEREIN Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 5, 2017

Saturday night (July 8) to early Sunday (July 9, day of rest), before and just after midnight, a full moon, reflecting the light of the Cancer Sun, sheds its light across the Earth. Sun, Mercury and Mars are in Cancer with the moon opposite the Sun in Capricorn. At the moment of the full moon (timing mechanism) the “Two Gates” swing open—the Gate into the Earth of form and matter (Cancer) and the Gate of Return to Heaven or the Father (Capricorn).

The Sun, at the full moon, is 17 degrees Cancer. It is good to know where that degree is in everyone’s astrology chart. Then we know what area of life is affected by the Cancer Sun. The Soul’s meditative seed thought for this Cancer solar festival (Thunder full moon) is, “I build a lighted house and therein dwell.” The Soul responds to the desolate and lonely call of

the personality, a call to end the isolation and be directed and guided. And so, the Soul responds.

“Building a lighted house within the personality.”

Everyone is invited to join us, the New Group of World Servers, at this Cancer solar festival (and all new and full moon festivals) by reciting the Great Invocation and the following Mantram of Light: “I am a point of light within a greater light. I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love divine. I am a way by which humanity may achieve. I am a source of strength, enabling them to stand. I am a beam of light, shining upon their way. And thus I stand.” We stand together.

When we radiate the Light into our environments, we become the Light of the World nourishing all of life.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The full moon affects both your home and profession trying to unify and synthesize them. Full moons are times of fruition. Things planned and hoped for emerge into the light. It’s like a gathering or harvest. If you work with this solar festival you can synthesize the two areas of your life. They will no longer be a source of difficulty.

So many others are pulled in two directions. You needn’t be, though. Recalculating.

Your home situation has changed and transformed you.

You have sought stability (and a couch) for so long. It has been important that you have a permanent and structured foundation and although you hoped for this as a child, something always seemed to dissolve away. Life is different these days. Happiness is now yours to keep.

Comfort and beauty, too.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You are emerging as a teacher, whether you accept, understand, or are aware of this or not. The Cancer solar festival (at the full moon) is a time when the teacher is recognized and gratitude is given. Think on teachers who influenced you with their kindness, goodness and knowledge. Thank them (inwardly). Then go forward and become greater than they. The student is always to surpass the teacher—one of the student’s spiritual tasks.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 I remind you to read all of the astrological signs each week along with the Labors of Hercules. To learn the mysteries and the Ageless Wisdom teachings embedded within each sign. Make a list of what you value—from objects to people to behaviors to intelligence to facts.

This will help you understand yourself better. As you identify your values, a greater sense of self as also valuable comes forth. Remember to tithe.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Allow yourself to stray from work duties and responsibilities. You are more internal than usual and your imagination needs to roam about freely. Then your creativity comes forth. This will soothe you, create a sense of comfort and care that sometimes you seek from others (something they are unable to provide).

Relationships from the past are on your mind.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You’ve been working deeply on realizing that you have great creativity. Virgo’s order and organization, the fine art details, are special creative acts. You bring in many gifts, abilities and talents from past lives. They are appearing in your daily life now. Are you a collector? That calls upon great creative discernment. You are being more and more defined in terms of your artistic nature.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 There’s an ongoing question concerning your home, where you belong, how to bring forth the future. It seems you’ve searched all the previous ways and places. To find a clue, a piece of the puzzle. Careful study and communication, along with more travel may be needed for a while. You’re used to this. It’s just another step.

Travel creates a new philosophy and way of life for you.

Travel inward more deeply.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 This is an important time when you think deeply on how you would want to improve, expand upon or restructure different aspects of your life. It’s important to realize your gifts. One gift is your dedication. You carry an enthusiasm and joyfulness that, to others, is like an adventure. Enthusiasm (filled with God) can take you to great heights of achievement. One thing to remember— everything has its own timing

Activity related to cannabis use is subject to federal prosecution, regardless of the protections provided by state law.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 All things cultural bring out the best in you, inspiring your creative spirit, and building your confidence so that you realize you are an artist. Whatever you do stimulates new and different perspectives in others. You are influential when following inner dreams, visions, likes, wants and wishes. Always write these down. In a special starry notebook. Recognizing them calls them creatively forth.

You will work hard in the coming week. Include resting, too.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You may decide that being at home is the best place to be in order to concentrate on health, the foods your body needs, and comforts. It’s important to tend to daily tasks that nurture and enclose you. Sometimes (often), your nervous system needs this enclosure, for you are often a quiver of nervous energy. If sounds are affecting you, take extra magnesium, calcium and Aconite (grounds electrical Uranian energy).

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You carry a vision of the future. Recently you’ve been presented with the impression to be at home wherever you are. To breathe in the air and to walk upon the Earth wherever you are. To accept and recognize that you are in the right place at this time. And to call upon both happiness and joy to be your companions. These adaptations, recalculations, actually bring a soothing and comforting care to you. Pisces people need the deepest care of all.

Be sure to provide yourself with adequate food, nurturance, safety and security. These you provide for others. Now you must learn how to provide them for yourself in great measure too.

S HOPP ER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Licensed acupuncturist/herbalist; faculty member, Five Branches University Hobbies: Dancing, hiking, biking, swimming, non-profits’ nutritional volunteer Astrological Sign: Capricorn What or who first got you shopping at Shopper’s? I just walked in one day. I came from Boston and was involved in organic produce. To this day, Shopper’s is my main store. I shop here almost daily for most of my produce, meat, and dairy. Everything is quality. I like Shopper’s intimacy: though not large it has everything I need, so I don’t need to go to other markets. I like that Shopper’s is locally-owned. I support that as it helps keep the finances flowing in our community.

Plus they donate to many non-profits and allow the schools and so many groups to hold fundraisers up front. Shopper’s is known for their customer service.

Not many stores can make that claim.

How so? For one, the butchers are just on it! They’re very friendly and good at what they do. Elsewhere in the store, if they happen to be out of something, stockers will go upstairs to look for it. The checkers are always chit-chatting with you. That’s fun as I like to talk with people. Someone’s constantly rotating Shopper’s local organic produce, so it’s always fresh and pretty. And priced well. They have a wide variety of wines — local, regional, international — also half-bottles, perfect for trying something new. I teach using herbs and spices as medicine — love their ginger and turmeric, and their teas, especially cardamom-cinnamon. I add it to coffee for balance.

Do you like to cook? My wife is a chef and does most of the cooking. I’m usually the breakfast ‘cooker.’ I’ll pick up Shopper’s organic eggs, spinach, onions, peppers, avocados, and a fresh salsa. Dinner, I tend to make Asian stir-frys using meat or chicken. They carry all the sauces and ingredients I like to use; also excellent Mexican sauces if I want to do fajitas. If I’m putting on an educational event, I may get hummus, gluten-free crackers — huge selection! — fruits, some healthy cheeses and wine, if appropriate. Did I mention Shopper’s unbelievable chocolates?! I tell those new to the community,“‘Come to Shopper’s — ‘you’ll be remembered and treated like family.’
