OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE At this point, I’m not even sure exactly how many times I’ve seen The Post. I saw it with my dad first, I know that. Then I took the whole GT editorial staff to see it. And I saw it with the publisher, too. (If you’ve seen Steven Spielberg’s film about the Washington Post’s decision to publish the Pentagon Papers in the face of prosecution from the Nixon administration, you know why the publisher and editor of every newspaper should go see it together.

The interplay between Meryl Streep (as publisher Katharine Graham) and Tom Hanks (as editor Ben Bradlee) about the workings of the paper is funny and realistic. At one point in the film, after Bradlee blustered something arrogant to Graham,

YES TO LIBRARY, NO TO GARAGE

4

Re “Lot of Issues” (GT, 2/14): It is stated that the Downtown Library Advisory Committee recommended relocating the downtown library to a new parking garage, and that is “far cheaper” than a full renovation or a brand-new building at the present location.

However, there is another option that is within Measure S funds, and that is a partial yet substantial renovation of the seismically sound library building, resulting in a remodeled, upgraded and attractive library. The DLAC ignored the majority of the public’s stated preference for renovation over moving the library to a parking garage (now called a “mixed-use project”). Stay tuned for a late-March City Council meeting. Meanwhile, go online to Don’t Bury The Library for a perspective very different than the DLAC. JUDI GRUNSTRA | SANTA CRUZ

Jeanne Howard leaned over to me and said, “Don’t try that line on me.”)

Anyway, the point is I’ve seen it, related to it and come to admire it enough that I’ll be a little crushed when it inevitably doesn’t win the Oscars it’s nominated for. But it’s not even the insight into the real story behind the film that is my favorite thing about Georgia Johnson’s profile of Santa Cruz attorney Daniel Sheehan this week.

Even better are the parallels that Sheehan and Johnson draw between Richard Nixon and Donald Trump. It’s a great read—and an important one.

The next seven days also mark the return of Santa Cruz Burger Week, which was a runaway success in its inaugural outing last week. Kudos to Hugh McCormick for his deep dive into everything you need to know.

It’s pretty entertaining to read about how truly into burgers this year’s participants are. Bun appetit!

cuts, so they don’t have as much time to build affordable housing.

Is Trump trying to force us to lower California taxes so people would be able to afford housing? My property taxes in Aptos go up every year since Governor Brown took over again. The real reason for the homeless problem is our California state government.

There is a website where you can donate more of your money to Governor Brown if you don’t feel you pay enough taxes already.

I see Gavin (shove it down your throat without a vote) Newsom running on how evil Trump’s tax cut is. After all, Jimmy Panetta voted against more money on our paychecks.

Remember the threat by the Democrats during our 2016 election: “I will triple the taxes on the middle class,” vote for Hillary or you are deplorable and not cool for not giving all your money to the government.

Please vote for lower taxes. Thank you.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of February 21 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 When you’re playing poker, a wild card refers to a card that can be used as any card the cardholder wants it to be. If the two of hearts is deemed wild before the game begins, it can be used as an ace of diamonds, jack of clubs, queen of spades, or anything else. That’s always a good thing! In the game of life, a wild card is the arrival of an unforeseen element that affects the flow of events unpredictably. It might derail your plans, or alter them in ways that are at first inconvenient but ultimately beneficial. It may even cause them to succeed in an even more interesting fashion than you imagined they could.

I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you’ll be in the Wild Card Season during the next four weeks. Any and all of the above definitions may apply. Be alert for unusual luck.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 If you gorge on 10 pounds of chocolate in the next 24 hours, you will get sick. Please don’t do that. Limit your intake to no more than a pound. Follow a similar policy with any other pleasurable activity. Feel emboldened to surpass your normal dosage, yes, but avoid ridiculous overindulgence. Now is one of the rare times when visionary artist William Blake’s maxim is applicable: “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” So is his corollary, “You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.” But keep in mind that Blake didn’t say, "The road of foolish, reckless exorbitance leads to the palace of wisdom."

GEMINI May21–June20 Have you ever had a rousing insight about an action that would improve your life, but then you failed to summon the willpower to actually take that action? Have you resolved to embark on some new behavior that would be good for you, but then found yourself unable to carry it out? Most of us have experienced these frustrations. The ancient Greeks had a word for it: akrasia. I bring it up, Gemini, because I suspect you may be less susceptible to akrasia in the next four weeks than you have ever been. I bet you will consistently have the courage and command to actually follow through on what your intuition tells you is in your best interests.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

6

“There is no such thing as a failed experiment,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller, “only experiments with unexpected outcomes.” That’s an excellent guideline for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks.

You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when questions are more important than answers, when explorations are more essential than discoveries, and when curiosity is more useful than knowledge. There will be minimal value in formulating a definitive concept of success and then trying to achieve it. You will have more fun and you will learn more by continually redefining success as you wander and ramble.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 During World War II, British code-breakers regularly intercepted and deciphered top-secret radio messages that high-ranking German soldiers sent to each other.

Historians have concluded that these heroes shortened the war by at least two years. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will inspire you. I believe your own metaphorical code-breaking skills will be acute in the coming weeks. You’ll be able to decrypt messages that have different meanings from what they appear to mean. You won’t get fooled by deception and misdirection. This knack will enable you to home in on the elusive truths that are circulating—thus saving you from unnecessary and irrelevant turmoil.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In April 1972, three American astronauts climbed into a spacecraft and took a trip to the moon and back. On the second day of the 11-day jaunt, pilot Ken Mattingly removed and misplaced his wedding ring. In the zero-gravity conditions, it drifted off and disappeared

somewhere in the cabin. Nine days later, on the way home, Mattingly and Charlie Duke did a space walk.

When they opened the hatch and slipped outside, they found the wedding ring floating in the blackness of space. Duke was able to grab it and bring it in. I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will recover a lost or missing item in an equally unlikely location, Virgo. Or perhaps your retrieval will be of a more metaphorical kind: a dream, a friendship, an opportunity.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 According to British philosopher Alain de Botton, "Maturity begins with the capacity to sense and, in good time and without defensiveness, admit to our own craziness." He says that our humble willingness to be embarrassed by our confusion and mistakes and doubts is key to understanding ourselves. I believe these meditations will be especially useful for you in the coming weeks, Libra. They could lead you to learn and make use of robust new secrets of self-mastery.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 During the next four weeks, there are three activities I suspect you should indulge in at an elevated rate: laughter, dancing, and sex. The astrological omens suggest that these pursuits will bring you even more health benefits than usual. They will not only give your body, mind, and soul the precise exercise they need most; they will also make you smarter and kinder and wilder. Fortunately, the astrological omens also suggest that laughter, dancing, and sex will be even more easily available to you than they normally are.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The little voices in your head may have laryngitis, but they’re still spouting their cracked advice. Here’s another curiosity: You are extra-attuned to the feelings and thoughts of other people. I’m tempted to speculate that you’re at least temporarily telepathic. There’s a third factor contributing to the riot in your head: People you were close to earlier in your life are showing up to kibitz you in your nightly dreams. In response, I bid you to bark “Enough!” at all these meddlers. You have astrological permission to tell them to pipe down so you can hear yourself think.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Paleontologist Jack Horner says that developmental biologists are halfway toward being able to create a chickenosaurus -- a creature that is genetically a blend of a chicken and a dinosaur. This project is conceivable because there’s an evolutionary link between the ancient reptile and the modern bird. Now is a favorable time for you to contemplate metaphorically similar juxtapositions and combinations, Capricorn. For the foreseeable future, you’ll have extra skill and savvy in the art of amalgamation.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “Be stubborn about your goals but flexible about your methods.” That’s the message I saw on a woman’s T-shirt today. It’s the best possible advice for you to hear right now. To further drive home the point, I’ll add a quote from productivity consultant David Allen: “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” Are you willing to be loyal and true to your high standards, Aquarius, even as you improvise to uphold and fulfill them?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In her novel The Round House, writer Louise Erdrich reminisces about how hard it was, earlier in her life, to yank out the trees whose roots had grown into the foundation of her family’s house. “How funny, strange, that a thing can grow so powerful even when planted in the wrong place,” she says. Then she adds, “ideas, too.” Your first assignment in the coming weeks, my dear Pisces, is to make sure that nothing gets planted in the wrong place. Your second assignment is to focus all your intelligence and love on locating the right places for new seeds to be planted.

1980s, dealers would walk up to your car window and take your order right there on the street. The park cleaned up for a bit and eventually attracted its current population again. Part of the attraction to the homeless crowd is the park’s isolation from downtown.

Let the homeless have San Lorenzo Park and let’s build a real park that is more accessible from downtown. The 1995 general plan called for a Cedar Street park/plaza adjacent to the Tea House. Whatever happened to that park? Where is our park? We got a huge parking structure instead. We need more parks.

There are eight in the City of Santa Cruz, and others scattered throughout the county. For more information on local leash laws, see http://llascc.weebly.com/.

EXERCISE CAUTION. It’s easy when stressed to think of bicyclists as “in the way,” yet people on bikes are just as entitled to the roadway as drivers. Remember that the safety of all bicyclists and motorists rides on mutual respect.

So when passing, allow three feet of space between your vehicle and the cyclist. And always use your turn signals and check for cyclists both ahead and behind before turning.

Collisions often occur when drivers turn right without checking for cyclists. So before right turns, watch for cyclists, then cautiously enter the bike lane, proceeding as close to the curb as possible. When turning left, beware of oncoming bicyclists; you may not have enough time to complete that turn.

And it’s critical to check for cyclists before you open your car door; many have been fatally hit in this way.

Be mindful and considerate of people on bikes. It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

PIPE SCREAM Motor vehicles account for about 80 percent of California’s air pollution.

Air in Judgment A closer look at the county’s ‘F’ in air quality BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE county’s air quality is actually “exceptionally good.”

Stedman says that the ALA’s failing grade for the county is painting with too broad a brush, and that the “F” grade is primarily due to San Lorenzo Valley’s air quality, which can be suspect, especially in the winter. Stedman says that this is due to a number of factors, the first of which is SLV’s bowl-like topography. “NOx [nitrogen oxides] and PM2.5 [very small particles that can get deep into the lungs] are the two main pollutants we worry about,” he says. Wood-burning stoves, among other things, produce both of these harmful compounds.

Additionally, when it’s cold at night, this also creates an inversion layer which essentially puts a lid on the

bowl of the valley, trapping in all of the unhealthy air.

But what about at the state level?

Does California really have the worst air quality in the nation?

“Possibly,” says Stedman, “It’s probably between California and Texas, but our monitoring is better, so we pay the price.”

He says that many factors contribute to California’s poor air quality, but the main one is simply the vast number of cars. “Motor vehicles account for about 80 percent of statewide air pollution,” he says, with the other 20 percent being what he calls “stationary sources” like factories and gas stations.

But beyond cars and industry, climate change can also have some particularly deleterious

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 21-27, 2018

T

he American Lung Association (ALA) recently released its 2017 “State of the Air” report—and it contains findings surprising enough to, well, take the air out of the room.

Nationwide, it found that four in 10 people were living in counties that had unhealthy air. Most shocking was that California, despite its environmentally conscious reputation, actually had the most polluted air of any state in the entire country.

Santa Cruz County received an “F” grade for air quality. But Richard Stedman, an Air Pollution Control Officer with the Monterey Bay Air Resources District, says this is misleading, and that our

and depressing effects on the air. Stedman says that one factor involved here is simply that more heat and sunlight are catalysts to producing not only more NOx, but also more volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and more ozone (O3 gas), all of which lead to poorer air quality. Further, an increase in climate change-driven droughts leads to less rain, which along with wind can help to disperse air pollution. And droughts also lead to more wildfires, which can be a major cause of air pollution as well.

Stedman even says that far-away wildfires like the recent Thomas Fire in Southern California can and do affect local air quality.

Breathing in low-quality air can have serious and harmful consequences on health. “Air pollution attacks the respiratory and cardiovascular systems,” says Stedman. “Less oxygen stresses the heart and creates inflammation in the lungs and cardiovascular system.” In particular, Stedman says that air pollution can lead to cancer and asthma as well as worsen other pre-existing conditions. The ALA’s “State of the Air 2017” report did find “continued improvement in air quality in 2013-2015 in ozone and year-round particle pollution” and that “one-quarter fewer people now live where the air quality hit unhealthy levels in 2013-2015,” compared to last year’s report.

“The trends have been toward improvement,” says Stedman. “Over the last 20 years there has been a significant reduction in toxic air contaminants that can cause cancer and have other health impacts.”

He says one reason for this is that California has the strictest air pollution standards in the nation for both motor vehicles and stationary sources, and that many other states have adopted our standards as well. He also mentions that the purchase of electric vehicles is being incentivized through lower costs of new vehicles and tax breaks, and that his organization is unveiling a new program next year to incentivize the sale of used electric vehicles targeted to low-income populations.

NEWS CEILING THE DEAL As petitioners gather signatures for a rent control measure, recent data paints a complicated picture of its effectiveness

FEBRUARY 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

12

Alex Bogert, a computer coder who works in downtown Santa Cruz, remembers when the campaign for rent control kicked off on Sunday, Feb. 11, at the Resource Center for Nonviolence.

He was wandering down Seabright Avenue that day in search of signatures for a potential ballot measure when he stuck his head inside the Santa Cruz Roller Palladium and happened upon a kids’ birthday party. The parents told him that the event was private, but instead of turning around and moving on, he yelled out “Rent control!” Adults came rushing over to sign their names.

“Every single person had a story to tell,” says Bogert, the campaign’s researcher. “Most of the people there had been living in Santa Cruz for a long time, and they were so happy we were doing this thing. It was a nice boost.”

Activists from the Movement for Housing Justice began meeting this past summer, and they’re shooting to get their measure on the November ballot. The measure would ban evictions without “just cause,” and link rent increases to the Consumer Price Index. In order to approve any potential rent increases on top of that, the ballot measure would create an elected rent board, funded by new fees from landlords.

In the meantime, the Santa Cruz City Council passed an emergency rent freeze last week, along with temporary evictions rules set to expire in the fall.

A statewide law called the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act prevents cities from limiting the rents of single-family homes, condominiums or anything built after 1995.

According to a Santa Cruz city staff report, rent control would regulate between 22-24 percent of rentals.

Ken Carlsen, a landlord who’s been renting properties since the ’70s, fears that rent control unintentionally puts the squeeze on the wrong property owners.

“Landlords who have left their rents low—who are the good guys—are the ones who are going to take the brunt of this,” says Carlsen, who has been renting out a two-bedroom downtown apartment with a backyard, hardwood floors and two >16

LAW INSPIRING Santa Cruz civil rights attorney Daniel Sheehan says Trump’s war on the press parallels one

that Nixon declared 50 years ago.

‘Post’ Haste

Attorney Daniel Sheehan reflects on ‘The Post,’ Nixon, and his memories of the Pentagon Papers BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

M

any Americans would be surprised, ecstatic even, to see a project they worked on portrayed in a blockbuster film, but Santa Cruz attorney Daniel Sheehan is used to it. After working on both the Watergate and Pentagon Papers trials, among other endeavors, Sheehan is used to being in the front row of both history and Hollywood.

“There was also Tom Cruise’s American Made, about Iran-Contra, and Silkwood, another movie with Meryl Streep that Mike Nichols directed. We did that too,” recalls Sheehan, who is currently preparing for an August trial representing

Dakota Access Pipeline water protectors in Standing Rock, and is also the founder and president of the Romero Institute, a Santa Cruzbased legal and public policy center descended from the Washington D.C. Christic Institute. “So watching those movies was a little surreal, too, but I’ve had this experience before.”

Sheehan’s latest courtside seat is for The Post, Steven Spielberg’s film spotlighting The Washington Post’s rise to journalistic glory in the Pentagon Papers case, which has earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture and for Meryl Streep’s performance as the Post’s publisher

at the time, Katharine Graham.

At the time of the Pentagon Papers trial, Sheehan had recently graduated from Harvard Law School and worked for the Cahill-Gordon Law Firm, which represented the New York Times in the 1971 landmark First Amendment case showcased in The Post. He went on to work at famed Boston-based criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey’s firm, where he served as Special Counsel in the Watergate Burglary case two years later.

Though he watched the Pentagon Papers case unfold from the New York Times’ side, Sheehan says that there were some moments >14

‘POST’ HASTE <12 that he recalls quite differently than they were portrayed in the film.

“Remember in the movie where Katie Graham was allegedly sitting at the restaurant table with the New York Times editor when the legal counsel brought in the telegram demanding the New York Times stop publishing the documents?”

Sheehan asks. “That actually came to my office from Whitney North Seymour, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. So, there was that.”

The film’s critical acclaim suggests that the past and future fourth pillar of democracy is something worth not just upholding, but celebrating. Sheehan recalls the Richard Nixon presidency as “the halcyon days of investigative journalism,” and he got to tag along by representing the investigative journalists in court.

During his term, Nixon dubbed the media “the enemy.” He kept a White House enemies list with more than 50 journalists on it, and actively worked to avoid unplanned encounters with White House reporters. Nixon made great use of the television, which reached Americans more directly and cut

PRESIDENT PARALLELS One subtext of The Post that has not gone unnoticed is the parallels it suggests between Nixon and Donald Trump, although Sheehan argues that Nixon was much less social and more self-conscious than Trump.

According to CNN, Trump told former FBI Director James Comey to throw all journalists who publish government leaks in jail.

He regularly tweets about fake news and makes comments about dishonest media and the “failing New York Times,” and has said that the press is the “enemy of the American people.” Trump also opted to host his fake news awards earlier this year, in which the

Times took first place, with ABC and CNN taking silver and bronze.

“There is a tendency to compare Nixon and Trump, and Trump will play right into it,” Sheehan says.

“He will become more and more reclusive and cut himself off from places that will ask him questions.

This tendency to compare Trump and Nixon will increase and increase, and it’s an effort on the part of the media to lobby on behalf of him getting impeached.”

Sheehan explains that while Nixon besieged the press, he was also conspiring with the enemy overseas. When Nixon was running for reelection in 1968 against Hubert Humphrey, he communicated with the North Vietnamese and conspired to enter into a war settlement with Johnson so that once he was elected, he would be credited with ending the war. As recently evidenced by a cache of notes left by H. R. Haldeman, Nixon’s White House Chief of Staff, Nixon sabotaged Johnson’s peace efforts so that once elected, he could take credit for it. Sheehan says that this practice of enemy communication and negotiation continued beyond Nixon, into the Reagan and Bush administrations, and the >18

out third-party reporters. The White House communications office and director position were also created under the Nixon administration.

“When people come to the office of the presidency and acquire executive power, they automatically and instinctively view the media as an adversary,” Sheehan says. “They soon realize that the news media tends to be out to criticize them and view themselves as having a role to criticize them.”

Girl, you don’t know me!

That’s the short version of what Rebekah Mercer—whose father is of one of President Donald Trump’s lead bankrollers—wrote in a Feb. 15 Wall Street Journal op-ed, titled “Forget the Media Caricature.

Here’s What I Believe.”

In it, Mercer, daughter of conservative hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, expressed support for housing the homeless and protecting freedom, as well as general platitudes about how “decentralized” power is good.

She also deflected claims that she’s “anti-science” (even though her family has donated to anti-global warming causes over the years).

Anyway, shortly before that the story dropped, Santa Cruz’s Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) announced a $1 million donation from the New York-based Mercer Family Foundation, led

by Mercer herself. Even MAPS was surprised by the gift, which it will spend on research for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, per the

foundation’s requests. The nonprofit has been leading a push to have MDMA approved for psychiatric purposes.

“We were not expecting the Mercers would be one of the major funding sources for the phase three MDMA trials,” says Brad Burge, MAPS’ communications director. “We have had many of our donors be on the opposite side of the political spectrum from the Mercers, but we’ve been making sure this research is not just a left cause, that this research cuts across the political divide.”

MAPS has garnered other

mysterious donations recently, including an anonymous $1 billion cryptocurrency donation followed by a $4 million matching pledge in bitcoin from the same source.

This past August, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) awarded MDMAassisted psychotherapy the Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and Burge says 95 percent of trials that earn that honor go on to get approval.

“It isn’t guaranteed that the FDA will approve it,” he says, “but it’s like receiving extra credit.” JACOB PIERCE

CEILING THE DEAL <12

off-street parking spots for $1,550, which is more than $1,000 below the market average.

Carlsen says he rents out his properties for cheap prices because he enjoys having long-term tenants. Rent control would have Carlsen locked in, with rent increases usually less than 2 percent per year. Under CostaHawkins, Carlsen can raise the rent once he has a vacancy, but sometimes a tenant won’t move out for many years, he says.

He wouldn’t be allowed to evict someone in order to raise the rent unless he paid his six months’ worth of market-rate rent to the tenant. Meanwhile, a less scrupulous landlord with a much higher vacancy rate and steeper prices would hardly even notice the new ceiling on their price-gouging rates, Carlsen says—especially because once their tenant moves out in a couple of months, in search of a better deal, such a landlord can hike the rents yet again, anyway.

Researchers have explored the topic of rent control over the years and the results are mixed.

This past November, economists at Stanford released an analysis studying rent control in San Francisco and found that policies there were linked with what’s

amounted to a 5 percent increase in rents citywide. The rent control policies, according to the study, impacted San Francisco’s rental supply, even though they had no effect on construction of new units.

Many landlords took apartments off the market, often redeveloping or converting them to condominiums—which, because they’re exempt from rent control, are more profitable. That cuts into demand and into the pocketbooks of anyone without a rentcontrolled place to live.

On average, rent control helped older residents more than younger ones, according to the study. Its ill effects caused less pain for current residents, who overall saw a net benefit, while the costs fell more often to newcomers who had just moved to the city.

That may not sound at first like such a negative impact, but Robert Singleton, the executive director of the Santa Cruz County Business Council, is skeptical of rent control and says that locals should be wary of policies that end up discriminating against new residents. Most residents moved here from somewhere else, he says, and he bristles at suggestions that non-locals are any less deserving of housing, homeless services or anything else. “Someone’s not

being local doesn’t change the fact that they’re homeless. Your not being local does not change the fact that you have a job in this community and need housing,” says Singleton, who’s read the Stanford study.

Singleton says the business council hasn’t taken up the rent control issue. He’s generally more open to the “just cause” portion of the measure, he says, and feels that the initiative, if passed, could end up being a net benefit overall. Still, the idea of a select lucky few benefiting from low rents as rates rise for everyone else concerns him.

And Singleton worries that if the measure passes and Costa-Hawkins gets repealed, as some legislators hope to do, that would halt future housing construction, as developers would be scared of having to answer to a new government body any time they needed to raise their rents, which could cut the profits out of a new project, he says.

Rent control has been found to benefit both low-income and medium-income renters, although it benefited middleincome residents more than three times as much as it did low-income ones, according to a study funded by the California Apartments Association.

However, a report from Urban Habitat,

an Oakland-based group that advocates for rent control, argues that it’s important to remember that renters on average make much less money than homeowners do, so the money saved is, by and large, staying with the those who need it most.

That report also brushes off longstanding concerns that it’s a downside when rent control keeps tenants in one unit for a long period of time. The report notes that stability for homeowners is lauded as a great benefit. Tenant stability, it argues, is better for neighborhoods and local governments and better for children, too, as it leads to less-frequent school changes—a trait that’s been linked with decreased absenteeism and higher test scores.

Bogert, of the rent control campaign, says that some of the complications surrounding rent control stem from the patchwork created by Costa-Hawkins, and he feels that if California repeals that, it could pave the way for more comprehensive regulations.

“I’ve been living in this town for a decade,” he says. “Any friend I’ve made that’s younger than me doesn’t live here anymore because they can’t make enough money for rent.”

current allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

“The Post is reflective of this spirit of investigative journalism, but it also demonstrates the conflict of interest that exists on the highest levels of the major news media with the national security state infrastructure,” Sheehan says.

“They are all part of the same social clubs, they all went to the same private schools and colleges together. That’s the major challenge always present for anybody that wants to be an investigative journalist. They are going to run right into their board of editors who will tell them to stop investigating.”

The Post explores this theme via the realizations that Graham and Post editor Ben Bradlee (played

by Tom Hanks) must face about how their friendships and social entanglements with Washington’s elite compromise their ability to report on those same politicos.

While the film suggests a new consciousness on the part of the press at that time, the truth is that conflicts of interest within the media aren’t uncommon in national politics even today; for example, ABC News President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, who was a top national security adviser to Barack Obama, and CNN’s Washington Deputy Bureau Chief Virginia Moseley is married to Tom Nides, the former deputy Secretary of State under Hillary Clinton.

Ultimately, reporting on the Watergate scandal by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein eventually led to Nixon’s resignation—considered one of the largest investigative journalist victories ever. It’s possible that the current president’s war on the press could end in a similar fashion, Sheehan says.

“The entire establishment has locked arms and decide that they are going to plow this guy under,” he says. “This is an extraordinarily important and positive time for investigative journalism. I am just pleased as punch to watch it all happening.”

Banff’s collection is an affirmation in these dark times that people are constantly striving toward dreaming up new challenges that redefine what is possible. <20 quest. Sarah McNair-Landry is considered a world-class polar guide, and professional kayakers Ben Stookesberry and Erik Boomer found a never-beforepaddled river while searching through Google Maps. They set off on foot, dragging kayaks and a heavy load often blown forward by kites. Ultimately they trudge 1,000 kilometers through the frozen tundra of Greenland, below freezing temperatures, slushy rain made of ice and the specter of death hiding in the white out conditions. Not a picnic!

McNair-Landry suffered a compression fracture on her vertebrae and several broken ribs due to a miscalculation that took her ice kite high in the air and slammed her down mercilessly on the hard ground. She didn’t find out the extent of the damage until she got home, because there was no question or possibility of turning back.

One thing that becomes clear during the four-day festival is that the gene for extreme sports is a worldwide phenomenon, with films coming from countries around the world. What draws them together is a boundless enthusiasm for (hopefully) doing what’s never been done, no matter what the cost.

Searching for a Christmas Tree is another Banff triumph, not only for the unimaginable physicality of the film, but also because of the creative thinking and resolve that it showcases. Filmmaker Zhang Yunping, a.k.a Crack; university teacher He Chuan; and Liu Yang, who is one of China’s top rock climbers, set out to find an elusive marvel in China. The Christmas tree in question is a towering frozen waterfall, whose slick surface and uneven terrain make for a death-defying ascent. But this isn’t just a movie about ice climbing; it’s also about how an ordinary person

can achieve even the wildest dream.

Chuan was a university teacher who had a vision of climbing a frozen mountain he christened a Christmas Tree. It took months of searching for the icefall and assembling a team. It was a literal leap of faith and the fact that it was captured on film makes it all the more compelling. These aren’t just “extreme sports movies.”

Banff’s collection is an affirmation in these dark times that people are constantly striving toward dreaming up new challenges that redefine what is possible.

During the four-day festival at the Rio Theatre, one can see dozens of films, many of them less than seven minutes long. The current tour explores their trademark world of mountain climbers, but also highlights new environments, ancient cultures and even tapers off the edgeof-your-seat momentum to slide in a charming gem of an entirely different sort as well. Hailing from Canada and clocking in at five minutes, it’s called Imagination: Tom Wallisch. ESPN’s extreme sports commentator Tom Wallisch is usually busy interviewing X Game winners, but in this fun, feel-good ski film, his ability to fly through the air is enchanting.

Imagination is mind-blowing and clever, with Wallisch skiing over everything and everyone in a small town in Nelson, British Columbia, as seen through the eyes of a child.

It doesn’t have any of the pulseelevating drama of so many of the films in this year’s collection, but like them, it finds its own way to inspire.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival runs from Thursday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, Feb. 25 at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel, Santa Cruz. Show time is 7 p.m. Tickets are $22 and at brownpapertickets.com.

MUSIC

STICK WITH IT Johanna Warren brings the sequel to her acclaimed album ‘Gemini I’ to Santa Cruz on Feb. 27.

Deal With It

I

t’s no overstatement to say that Johanna Warren’s 2016 album Gemini I is one of the most inspired and moving folk records of this decade. Its nine songs are lush and hypnotic, even when they’re nothing more than guitar and vocals. And while there are moments that recall classics like Nick Drake, Fleetwood Mac, and Linda Perhacs, Warren never sounds like she is rehashing the past. Despite its timelessness, her music is very much current, often shocking in its direct and honest exploration of human relationships.

This week, Warren comes to Santa Cruz in support of her

follow-up, Gemini II, a record which is intimately tied to the last. Also made up of nine songs, Gemini II was recorded during the same session as the first, the split nature of the two records only emerging throughout the process.

“I just went into the studio with like 20 songs, and I had no idea what I was doing with them,” Warren says over the phone, from her home in Portland, Oregon. “But it just kind of emerged bit by bit as I was recording.

This whole concept just came into focus, where it was, like, ‘twins.’”

Warren describes both albums as inspired by her simultaneous relationships with two Geminis—

one her romantic partner, the other her Tarot reader.

“It’s all about this triangular dance of relationship between points one and two of the triangle, and this third presence that emerges from that union.”

The tarot theme is enacted through the albums’ covers, which are stagings of the Lovers card (Gemini II) and the Devil card (Gemini I) from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

“The juxtaposition of these two cards really inspired me, because it’s the same two people but the scenery around them changes, and the energetic cosmic presence that is either emerging from their

union or presiding over their union changes. And that’s something that I experienced in this very tumultuous relationship that I was in,” Warren says. “It brought me into contact with my own power as a creative agent of choice.”

No less beautiful than its twin, Gemini II includes some of Warren’s best material so far, including the haunting “inreverse,” a song whose lyric “some stories make more sense written in reverse” recasts both albums through an entirely different narrative—one which ends where it begins. Together, both albums form an enchanting, powerful whole, each made stronger by its mirrored image in the other.

A major theme of this tour is healing, and, in particular, the usage of plant medicine in healing.

In every city she plays, Warren has invited local herbalists and healers to take part. In Santa Cruz, this will include a full-on group experience between the performers, the audience and the local herbalists.

“My tourmate and I will be leading a sort of guided plant/spirit infused healing meditation at some point during our performances,” Warren says. “We’ll be playing our traditional songwriter stuff as well, but then just kind of curating a sort of experience for people to reflect on our connections to nature.”

This seems especially refreshing at a time when the U.S. Secretary of State is a former executive of ExxonMobile, the Environmental Protection Agency is headed by a climate change denier, and an oil tanker carrying 136,000 tons of oil recently sank to the bottom of the East China Sea—the worst disaster of its kind since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in 2010.

Warren remains both purposeful and hopeful about the healing power of music.

“Nature made us, and we have made civilization,” she says. “We are creating it constantly as we go. We can change it all. All of this happens so relatively quickly. We can steer it in another direction.”

STRAW BALE GARDENING WORKSHOP Straw bale gardening is the answer to any organic gardener’s prayers. It’s sustainable, easy and pretty. Straw bale gardening is a form of container gardening that uses bales of straw as the containers instead of planters or pots. Straw bales are especially useful in locations with poor soil quality because straw composts over time and contributes to soil quality. Join straw bale wizard Nadine Frush in this free workshop to get your bale gardens ready for spring.

Santa Cruz Burger Week 2018 a delicious success

Patty Whacked

Burger Week returns to Santa Cruz

I

BY HUGH MCCORMICK PHOTOS BY KEANA PARKER

f there’s one thing I’ve learned from tracking down and talking to the chefs, owners, general managers, bartenders, and servers of the 23 restaurants involved in Burger Week, it’s that Santa Cruz County is crazy about burgers. Like, nuts. Santa Cruz has truly become a burger town, and my “five minute” interviews quickly became half-hour dissertations on burger philosophy—not to mention Santa Cruz food culture, the restaurant industry, and even Bitcoin. I’ve focused on the burger parts in the write-ups below, in an attempt to get readers fully prepped.

What you’ll discover is that Santa Cruz County restaurants will be pulling out all the stops for this Burger Week, which runs Feb. 21-27, offering affordable $7-$10 bits of meaty (and non-meaty) goodness you won’t find anywhere else. Our first Burger Week, held last July, was a smashing success, attracting so many burger fanatics that some restaurants had to turn people away. This time around, with the event moved by popular request to the off-season, the restaurant staff I talked to say that they’re ready for the burger blitz. Read on, and you’ll see that the passion, energy and wizardry that the participating restaurants put into this Burger Week is absolutely astounding.

“We’re going to serve a delicious burger all week long to Santa Cruz County, and we’re super excited about it. Our burgers are straight-up fantastic and we have a selection of over 250 beers to go along with them. Our veggie burger is awesome, and is helping to save the planet, too.”

“For Burger Week this year, we’re offering three different options: the $7 “Lil’ Shroomie” and the $10 “Loaded” and “Cha Cha Cha” burgers. The specials we’ve chosen are inventive, but not too crazy. Between the three of them there is something for everyone. We are the best burger in Santa Cruz, and we provide a dining experience beyond most counter-service restaurants. We do everything in-house—we season our meat and make our own patties. We use the freshest ingredients and don’t use any premade patties.”

“Under new ownership and boasting a [slightly] new name, Bruno’s Bar and Grill has created the ‘Bad Boy Burger’ for you! The Bad Boy is a juicy prime burger topped with smoked gouda, bourbon bacon jam, grilled onions, Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and our Bruno’s naughty sauce. The homemade bourbon bacon jam/glaze is a thick, flavorful sauce. My husband kept on trying different things until he got it perfect. Our house ‘naughty sauce’ has a kick to it, too. All of the flavors of the burger work and play off of each other, and the fries we serve are a perfect accompaniment.”

SANTA CRUZ BURGER WEEK

“We’re happy to put our burger in the mix with all the outstanding burgers around town. Our menu is rustic Californian cuisine and a burger definitely fits that category. We pile stuff on, and local sourcing is key for us. The bun that we use is a brioche bun made by one of our employees, Jasmine. That’s a fantastic thing that sets us apart. A bun can be forgettable but we make it memorable.”

“We really take our burger seriously here. We put a lot of attention into it. And this is our time to get creative with it. We thought it would be a cool spin to put a pastrami sandwich on a burger. We’re using grass-fed beef; our house stout in nitro, to make a delicious beer mustard; beef belly pastrami; really fresh, crisp sauerkraut; and traditional Swiss cheese on a brioche bun. Burger Week is a chance for us to show off a top-quality burger with our own creative spin.”

“Our featured burger is special—boasting the highest quality ingredients. The 6-ounce grass-fed beef patty is of the highest quality, and it sits on a homemade bun. Homemade Dijon sauce, caramelized onions, lettuce, and kraut round out the burger. We have sauerkraut on the burger instead of a pickle. I had the idea of using coleslaw with beets, carrot and currants as a side. We also have homemade fresh-cut French fries that are very special. We’re proud of our fresh-cut onion rings that are breaded in panko and fried. The quality of the meat and the homemade bun is really what makes our burger great. We’re happy to be a part of Burger Week. It’s a fun week and is extremely popular.”

“Our burgers have hand-made patties from grass-fed beef and are grilled over an open flame. You can’t beat them. I think the most unique burger that we are offering for Burger Week is our ‘Impossible Burger.’ It tastes just like beef, but it’s made with all plant proteins. It’s a great option for the environmentally, animal conscious burger eater, or for anyone who is looking for a great substitute for beef.”

At half a pound, it’s large, juicy, charbroiled, and topped with caramelized onions.

“We have the best burgers in town. We don’t skimp on quality or size. We’re doing three burgers for Burger Week. The Fried Green Tomato Burger is what I’m most excited about. Fried green tomatoes, a fried egg, bacon, ghost pepper jack cheese, and Thousand Island dressing are sandwiched between a pretzel bun. Each of our burgers are $10, and will be served with homemade barbecue chips. We buy high-end beef, and our French fries are cut in house.”

“I’m most excited about the Bacon Mac ’n’ Cheese Burger. It’s sautéed onions on top of bacon on top of mac ’n’ cheese, on top of a half-pound burger. Seafood lovers will enjoy our Crab Cake Burger and vegetarians can order our Portobello Mushroom Burger—complete with gruyere cheese and black truffle aioli on a sesame bun. We are absolutely excited about Burger Week and having locals come to sample our menu.”

“This is an opportunity for the Red to show off and get creative. And with the ‘Burger on the Cusp,’ we did. Our chef likes what he does and wants to showcase his talents and abilities. His creation, Burger on the Cusp, is a pistachioencrusted crab patty with arugula, heirloom tomato, and a chipotle-lemon aioli on a brioche bun. Served with truffle rosemary fries. We hope that all of our loyal customers (and their friends) enjoy it.”

“Last year during Burger Week we thought out of the box, and this year we’re offering the best $7 burger money can buy. The Surf City Burger boasts an Angus beef patty, kosher pickles, caramelized onions, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a brioche sesame bun. We use Angus beef and cook it in its own fat any way you like. Best cooked medium, the burger comes with our perfectly salty housemade chips.

“We’re really upping it for Burger Week with our Western Burger. It usually doesn’t have bacon or avocado on it, or come with French fries, but we’re pulling out all the stops. Our burgers are unique. We make the Angus beef patties ourselves each day, and all of our garnishes—like onions and tomatoes— are cut fresh each morning. Everything is fresh here. The best thing I can tell anyone about Burger Week: try the burgers and give local businesses the support they need. Try to go to them all.”

Our cheeseburger temple is stacked high with organic greens, tomato, red onions, melted cheddar and jack cheese, and two 5-ounce grass-fed Angus beef patties. We use locally baked bread and everything on our burgers is homemade. We make our own Thousand Island sauce and use localsourced produce in everything we do. We’re big proponents of the farm-to-table movement, and even our French fries are made from scratch in our kitchen daily.”

“For Burger Week, we’re doing something that nobody’s seen before. The Monte Cristo Burger is French toast with a burger and cheese inside. You can have it with syrup or eat it how it is. It’s absolutely amazing—completely different, weird and awesome. Our other burgers are awesome, too. ‘Get in My Mouth’ is insane, fun and delicious. For our ‘Monster’ burger we use eggs fresh from our yard. The eggs are from our chickens—we run around our whole yard trying to find the stars of the burger. We are as homegrown as it gets.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SOULWISE

A few years ago, keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Eichhorn was just finishing his seventh year playing minor league baseball. He began filling his offseason by playing in a band he started with his cousin Sean Eichhorn (guitars/ vocals) called Soulwise.

“I’d leave at the end of February, ’til October. Then October to February, we’d play some music,” Kevin says.

In those early days, Kevin says, the group’s sound was all over the place.

GOGOL BORDELLO

FEBRUARY 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“It started a little more funky, almost funk-rock-reggae,” he says. “We grew up on rock and the Expendables.”

32

These days, the sound is decidedly more reggae-oriented. The vibe is very laid-back, almost hypnotic. The rock influences are still strong, but it’s mostly in the guitar-work, which veer freely into shredding solos.

Kevin and Sean enlisted another minor league player to join the band, bass player Adrian DeMar. Neither plays baseball professionally anymore, so Soulwise has become a year-round band as of 2015. Around this time, they went from a four-piece to a six-piece band, playing with horns at some shows.

This past December, they released their first full-length, Good Day, which has done well. They even hit No. 3 on the iTunes reggae charts for a day.

Led by Pat Nevins, Shakey Zimmerman will perform a one-night-only acoustic tribute to iconic rockers Bob Dylan and Neil Young. The band will give listeners a chance to relive the emotional music of these legendary artists as they deliver covers that range from true-to-the-original to new twists on fan favorites. MAT WEIR

This year, the group plans to get out and tour, and show the rest of the world their Santa Cruz rock-reggae sound.

We want to give it a shot,” Kevin says.

“It’s been fun, and we appreciate the support. That’s the big one. We have a good group of guys, just having some fun playing some tunes.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. Moe’s, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY 2/23 ROCK

LANGHORNE SLIM Despite a name that sounds straight out of the classic Delta blues era, Langhorne Slim isn’t easy to pin down.

At first listen, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter appears to fit nicely into the folk and roots category, but he doesn’t stop there. When Slim gets going, his folky delivery can turn into an impassioned rock-out session or

a pop hook so sweet and catchy that it stays with you for weeks. Throw in some swirling strings and a willingness to be lyrically vulnerable and you have one of the most interesting artists around. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $18/door. 335-2800.

ALT-FOLK

SEAN ROWE When Sean Rowe was 18, he started writing songs in earnest. But at that point, he had a greater passion: the wilderness. Hailing from New York City, Troy got so fascinated by the great outdoors that he blogged about the woods, and studied at a wilderness survival school. Music would take a greater degree of seriousness in his life years later, and he channeled the simplicity of nature into his dark, gothic folk songs, as well as his deep, woodsy, bassy singing voice. He’s carved out a cult fan base over the past decade, but gained a few more fans last year with his new song “To Leave Something Behind,” which landed on the soundtrack of the film The Accountant. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 2/24 REGGAE/FUSION

B-SIDE PLAYERS B-Side Players could be called a contemporary reggae outfit—and it is that.

But the award-winning San Diego-based band has musical roots that extend in many directions. The band members blend styles and instruments from Mexico, Brazil, Latin America, Cuba and more into what’s been described as “global funk.” Covering themes of rising up, social justice, freedom and the spiritual journey, the B-Side Players reflect a worldview of people, countries and communities working, celebrating and creating together. This Saturday, the Players celebrate Mexico’s flag day, Dia de la Bandera. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20. 479-1854.

MONDAY 2/26 GYPSY PUNK

GOGOL BORDELLO Ever wanted to see a show that brings high-energy, vibrant, theatrical stage shows and a wild twist of eclectic music that’s like crack for the feet?

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST MOLOTOV

WHITNEY ROSE

Then gypsy punk act Gogol Bordello has you covered. Originally formed in 1999 in New York, this eight-piece band combines Eastern European gypsy music with punk rock attitude for a show unlike any other. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $38/door. 429-4135.

JAZZ/SOUL

When Grammy Award-winning vocalist Lisa Fischer started performing with Grand Baton after being featured in the 2013 Academy Award-winning documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, the media storyline focused on the longtime backup singer finally stepping back into the spotlight. These days, she covers songs of her former employers, including the Rolling Stones and Luther Vandross, but the powerhouse singer isn’t standing in anyone’s shadow.

She’s an overwhelming force whose bracing combination of rock ’n’ roll, soul and jazz turns every performance into a hair-raising journey.

ANDREW GILBERT

INFO: 7:30 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/gen, $50/gold. 427-2227.

GARAGE-PUNK

BURGER A GO-GO Burger Records puts out music that’s, well, fun! We’re talking punk rock, garage-rock, psych-pop, goth-rock, really anything with guitars, drums, and a ton of scrappy energy—technical proficiency is not a requirement for Burger bands, in fact it’s generally discouraged. Santa Cruz lucked out in that we are one of the stops for the label’s two-day Burger a Go-Go concert tour. The lineup is insane: Coathangers, Dengue Fever, Death Valley Girls, Summer Twins, the Flytrap Feels, and Patsy’s Rats. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door, $30/twonight ticket, 429-4135.

TUESDAY 2/27 COUNTRY

WHITNEY ROSE I heard the most fantastic definition of “countrypolitan” music the other day: “’60s girl group meets honkytonk

feminism.” How could I not give that a spin? I imagine Dolly Parton, with her badassery, style and business savvy, being the patron saint of such a movement. Whitney Rose is an emerging star of the American country, roots and countrypolitan scene.

Possessing what Rolling Stone called a “devilish twang,” Rose has a lyrical fearlessness around tackling tough topics, as heard on her new release, Rule 62. CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $12/ door. 479-1854.

AMERICANA

DAVID RAWLINGS David Rawlings has collaborated with a ton of amazing people—Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, Robyn Hitchcock, Bright Eyes, Old Crow Medicine Show, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and Willie Watson. As a solo artist—and leader of the Dave Rawlings Machine—he’s a strong singer-songwriter all on his own accord, grooving old-timey folk music with country and rock flair. Some of it’s the kind of storytelling fo AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $39.50. 423-8209.

MONDAY 2/26 & TUESDAY 2/27

In the mid-’90s, Mexican rock band Molotov formed and started playing gigs at underground clubs in Mexico City. With messages of political resistance, sexuality and protest, the band’s debut album, ¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?, was banned from local stores and sold in the streets directly to fans. Since then, Molotov has won numerous Latin Grammys, shared stages with some of Mexico’s biggest stars, and performed at the Zócalo, the main square in central Mexico City. The band continues to shine a light on injustice and corruption while bringing heavy guitarwork and ribcage-rattling basslines to fans around the world. CAT JOHNSON

Noir star Grahame memorialized in wistful love story ‘Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool’ BY LISA JENSEN

G

loria Grahame is not much remembered these days. She was never as famous a movie star as, say, Marilyn Monroe. But, with her soft, girlish voice, sensual mouth, and trademark pout belying the gutsiness of the characters she played, she was a staple player in 1950s film noir, who is still much beloved by fans of the genre.

But it’s Gloria Grahame in her later years, at the end of her career, who’s the centerpiece of Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. Based on a memoir written by Peter Turner, it’s the story of how Turner, an aspiring young actor trying to break into

showbiz, met and fell in love with the veteran actress when she was working in England in 1979. The book is now a movie by director Paul McGuigan, a wistful tone poem about age and celebrity featuring dynamic performances from stars Annette Bening and Jamie Bell.

Scripted by Matt Greenhalgh, the film begins with a prologue in Liverpool, 1981, where Gloria (Bening) is appearing in a local theater production. When she collapses backstage, Peter (Bell) is called to come collect her, and takes her back home to his mum (Julie Walters). Flashback two years to Peter’s first glimpse of Gloria, at a

neighborhood lodging house where they have adjoining rooms, running through her vocal exercises in front of a mirror. She invites him in for a drink if he’ll teach her to disco dance, and a friendship is born.

Peter is 28, and Gloria is almost 30 years his senior. But they bond over the craft and business of acting as he squires her around town, and pretty soon they become lovers.

When, inevitably, she moves back to Los Angeles, she invites Peter to come live with her in her trailer on the beach at Malibu—a heady fantasy for a lad from Liverpool. He meets Gloria’s doting mother (yes, that’s Vanessa Redgrave, in a one-

scene cameo), and waspish sister (Frances Barber).

The film moves fluidly between parallel time frames (a character turns a corner in one period and finds himself in the other), telling the story of how their relationship collapses, only to be reinvented later. The rift that separates them in L.A. is told twice, first from Peter’s viewpoint, then Gloria’s.

This works the first time, although when a second, follow-up scene is also repeated, it becomes a little irritating (and the swelling, bombastic music doesn’t help).

However, that Bening’s no-nonsense, often fiercely anti-glam onscreen persona is so different from the kittenish Grahame’s gives the casting its interesting edge. Bening softens her voice a bit to approximate Grahame’s delivery, but doesn’t mimic the other actress. Instead, she digs into the heart of a woman of a certain age whose appetite for life and the work she loves is undiminished. Her love for showbiz is infectious; at the movies, Bening’s Gloria can’t contain her gleeful laughter at the chutzpah of the chest-bursting scene in Alien while everyone else—including Peter—screams and cowers.

Many of the movie’s richest moments come from Bell’s still face, perceptibly filling with emotion to which he never quite gives voice.

Solid and soulful, he partners Bening beautifully.

Of course, based on Turner’s book, we have only his word that Peter was as gallant and adoring as Bell plays him. (When Gloria and Peter spat in the movie, it’s almost always because he tries to make some light hearted joke that she takes too seriously.)

Still, there are moments of emotional truth, especially a key scene when Peter finds a way, however briefly, for Gloria to realize her dream of playing Juliet onstage. And if this movie revives interest in Gloria Grahame’s vintage movies, I’m all for it.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

FEBRUARY 21-27, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ANNIHILATION Director Alex Garland of Ex Machina fame has been up front about the fact that his new film about an expedition to a dangerous place where the laws of nature have been altered isn’t for everyone. Studio execs agreed, calling it too complicated and intellectual, and in a panic signed most of the international rights away to Netflix. That’s too bad for Garland, but it does suggest that science fiction fans in this country can for once look forward to an adaptation that’s as smart and original as the book it’s based on. The funny part is that the trailer makes it look like a fairly typical, bland sci-fi/action flick. I bet the studio execs loved it. Starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Oscar Isaac. (R) (SP)

GAME NIGHT From the comedy geniuses who brought you Horrible Bosses comes another half-assed concept film about dumb people getting into a dumb situation. This time it’s a bunch of friends doing a murder-mystery night who don’t realize actual crimes are being committed in front of them. You know, because it seems like the game is just so realistic! Spoiler alert: the loser is the audience. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Starring Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Jesse Plemons and Michael C. Hall. (R) 100 minutes. (SP) 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 BLACK PANTHER After months of jaw-droppingly cool trailers and ever-more revealing clips, anticipation for this latest Marvel

comic adaptation is at a fever pitch. The character at the center of this story, T’Challa (played here

by Chadwick Boseman), goes all the way back to 1966, and was the first character of African descent in a major American comic.

Incredibly, it took more than 25 years of development hell for this adaptation to finally reach the big screen—but it’s finally here, primed to be one of the biggest movies of the year. Directed by Ryan Coogler. Co-starring Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Bassett. (PG-13) 134 minutes. (SP) CALL ME BY YOUR NAME Scripted by the great James Ivory (veteran director of classics like A Room With a View and Howard’s End), from a 2007 novel by Italian-American writer André Aciman, Call Me By Your Name follows the relationship between the 17-year-old son of a globe-trotting academic, and the 24-year-old American grad student hired as his father’s research assistant. Evolving over six weeks of a hot, lazy, Italian summer in 1983, the story explores physical attraction, yearning, and romantic attachment in ways viewers of all sexual orientations can understand. Directed by Luca Guadagnino. Starring Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer, and Michael Stuhlbarg. (R) 132 minutes. (LJ) DARKEST HOUR Just a few years ago, Hollywood trade mags were asking “What’s wrong with Gary Oldman?” after he gave a rambling, profanity-laced interview to Playboy magazine in which he defended Mel Gibson’s anti-semitism and whined about Obama’s supposedly terrible presidency. He then went on the expected apology tour, and here he is playing Winston Churchill in an Oscar-bit World War II movie. Take note, crazy-saying Matt Damon! Luckily, perhaps, avowed libertarian Oldman is unrecognizable in makeup as celebrated reformist Churchill, as director Joe Wright traces the critical decisions Churchill made

immediately upon becoming prime minister, ending Britain’s strategy of Nazi appeasement and taking a stand against Hitler. Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Mendelsohn and Lily James costar. (PG-13) 127 minutes.

FIFTY SHADES FREED And now, the long-awaited third and final chapter of the Fifty Shades trilogy. So many questions to be answered like: Do these two supposedly kinky people actually know any position other than missionary? Does Christian’s much-ballyhooed taste for “punishment” extend beyond giving Anastasia six whole spanks? Find out in this film!

Maybe! Directed by James Foley.

Starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. (R) 105 minutes.

EARLY MAN Move over, Captain Caveman! Aardman Animations, the people who brought you Wallace and Gromit, are back with the story of a caveman who has to help his tribe win a soccer game—or lose their village to some Bronze Age bullies.

Directed by Nick Park. With the voices of Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and Maisie Williams.

(PG) 89 minutes.

FILM STARS DON’T DIE IN LIVERPOOL Reviewed this issue.

Directed by Paul McGuigan.

Starring Annette Bening, Jamie Bell, Vanessa Redgrave and Julie Walters. (R) 105 minutes.

I, TONYA Craig Gillespie directs this often raucously entertaining fact-based fiction film that purports to be a documentary detailing the tragi-comic incidents of Tonya Harding's early life and public career. Starring Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, and Caitlin Carver. (R) 119 minutes. (LJ) THE INSULT Kmel El-Basha won a Best Actor award at the 2017 Venice Film Festival for his performance in this film about an insult that spirals out of control and becomes a court case between a Lebanese Christian and a Muslim Palestinian refugee. A media

circus ensues. This film from writer-director Ziad Doueiri is an Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. Co-starring Adel Karam and Camille Salameh. (R) 112 minutes.

LADY BIRD With Lady Bird, writerdirector Greta Gerwig delivers a wry but warm-hearted portrait of family, home, and dreams in modern America. The family in question is not dysfunctional in any clichéd movie comedy way, but Gerwig captures the gulf of potential calamity in the fractious relationship between a high-school senior (Saoirse Ronan) and her loving, but harried mom (Laurie Metcalf). As in most motherdaughter relationships, one false move or the wrong word might set either one of them off as they try to navigate the minefield of what they think or feel, and their ability (or not) to express it. Odeya Rush and Jake McDorman co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

PADDINGTON 2 People seemed to like the 2014 adaptation of the popular children’s book, so you better believe there’s a sequel! At the center of the story once again is the (mostly) CGI bear, who can talk and live with humans. This time, he gets to solve a mystery— finally, something realistic! I was beginning to feel like bears were being misrepresented by this series. Directed by Paul King.

Starring Ben Whishaw, Hugh Grant and Hugh Bonneville. (PG) 103 minutes.

THE SHAPE OF WATER You could call it Beauty and the Beast meets The Creature From the Black Lagoon, but that doesn't suggest the profound emotional pull and dramatic resonance of this bewitching new movie from Guillermo del Toro. Sally Hawkins is marvelous as a mute, spinsterish woman mopping floors at a secret, Cold War-era government research facility, who bonds with a captive amphibious man (soulful Doug Jones) — a sentient being capable of intelligence and compassion. In small deft strokes, theirs becomes one of the most

compelling, fanciful, and satisfying love stories of the year — in the name of diversity, tolerance, and the right to fall in love with whoever you choose. Del Toro's sheer joy of filmmaking is contagious in this evocative modern fairy-tale.

Michael Shannon and Richard Jenkins co-star. (R) 123 minutes.

(LJ) THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI Frances McDormand is superb as a middle-aged mother with a spectacularly vulgar mouth, a fearless take-no-prisoners attitude, and a relentless drive to see justice done after the unsolved murder of her teenage daughter. Another actress might chomp on the scenery with extra relish and hot sauce, but McDormand plays her small and close, with her volatility —and vulnerability—boiling at the surface. Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell are also great in this layered and complex morality play from playwright-filmmaker Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) — once again mixing raucously funny dialogue and irreverent observation of human nature with an uncompromising sense of morality. Directed by McDonagh.

Co-starring Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish and Peter Dinklage. (R) 115 minutes. (LJ) WINCHESTER I certainly didn’t think it was possible to make the Winchester Mystery House boring, but this movie manages it. The incredible story of Sarah Winchester and how she built her house to confuse the ghosts of those killed by her family’s guns gets muddled beyond recognition, and even Helen Mirren as the grand dame of weird architecture can’t save it. She and Jason Clarke (as a doctor tasked with determining her mental state) hold the ridiculousness together for most of the first half, but writerdirectors the Spierig brothers simply didn’t have a clue what to do with this. What a waste. Written and directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig. Co-starring Jason Clarke and Sarah Snook. (PG-13) 99 minutes. (SP)

Pastries, Syrah, and fresh-caught sensations—we tell you what you want to know BY CHRISTINA WATERS

O

cean2Table is a fastgrowing entrepreneurial idea that is growing more fans every day. The latest offering from this seafood subscription service is rainbow trout from ecologically-sensitive McFarland Springs aqua-farm in Lassen, California—rated a “Best Choice” by Monterey Bay Seafood Watch. I’ve loved finding more and more trout on our local menus and was bummed to discover that Ocean2Table was already sold out a day before the delivery date.

So. A word to the wise: If you love your seafood fresh and the offerings varied, get in touch with this sustainable seafood outfit, the dreamchild of foragers Ian Cole and Charlie Lambert, and get on their email list. Do it now! www. getocean2table.com.

PUFF PASTRY PARADISE Every one of us has a guilty pleasure, gastronomically-speaking.

And this month, mine is the almond croissant (AKA pain d’amande). Yes, it’s a great way to get through the

winter. When, in a reckless mood, I want to treat myself to something absolutely sumptuous that cannot possibly be justified in the Court of Calories, I reach for a creation of multi-layered puff pastry, filled with marzipan, and topped with almonds.

Every bakery of note in our region offers its own take on this Parisian staple (god bless the French!), and I’ve done the arduous fieldwork to uncover a lively diversity of styles.

At Companion, for example, the house almond croissant ($4.75) is as close to classic perfection as possible.

The Platonic Form of Croissant, if you will. Well-shaped, generouslyproportioned, this pastry is lightly filled with almond paste (marzipan), its golden-bronze exterior dusted with sugar and toasted almond slices. It is very, very good. At Gayle’s, where the croissant launched an empire, you can find a serious response to your almond pastry cravings. It is called croissant d’amandes. The gossamer pastry shatters in your teeth as you work your way into a heart of lava-esque marzipan cream.

Shaped like a plump crescent moon, it is essentially decadence on a plate. ($3.95). You can throw caution to the winds and hit Verve, where the worthy bakers of Manresa create something worthy of a tryst between Julia Child and Michelangelo. Huge, light, perfect pastry is filled with a gooey, addictively buttery marzipan interior. Opulent to the max (and too large to actually be finished by anyone but LeBron James), this $5.50 monument to oral overload is topped with powdered sugar, sliced almonds and a rosette of marzipan cream.

OMG. And yes, it is excessive. Some like it uh, more approachable. And for that, there’s Iveta’s new lovely lighter shade of almond croissant for a rock bottom $3. A slightly denser, moister pastry gently enfolds a hint of marzipan. It is a lovely, non-threatening marzipan creation.

Divine with a slick of butter on top.

Not too large. LeBron could eat three of these before breakfast.

MUNS SYRAH The great grape of the Rhone, Syrah, is rarely given a completely starring role in California bottles. But Muns has made the leap and bottled 100-percent Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah grapes into its inky black 2013 Syrah, a wine that could hold its own with anything from Camembert to nuclear fission. We dipped into its earthy depths over dinner of pork chops and garnet yams the other night. If you take your time, you can almost watch this organic creature unfold. Black pepper, leather, ripe cherries, blood, and ultimately blueberry with a top note of chocolate. Not for the faint of heart is this 14.5-percent-alcohol beauty. Try Shopper’s and expand your oeno-palate for a mere $25.

A brief history of the Cheesy Bavarian sausage BY LILY STOICHEFF

I

t was love at first snap as my teeth broke through the taut casing of my first Cheesy Bavarian sausage from Corralitos Market & Sausage Co. several years ago. The exact “where” and “when” of this inaugural experience has faded from my memory, muddled with the many, many Cheesy Bavarians that came after it, but I’ll never forget my first taste of mildly spiced sausage mixed with creamy cheddar cheese—a deceptively simple combo that nonetheless made quite an impression. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I had become a member of a group of disciples dedicated to “the Cheesy B” above all other sausages. And according to Dave Peterson, president of Corralitos Market & Sausage Co., we are legion. “We sell 800 to 1,000 pounds of Cheesy Bavarians per week,” reports Peterson, and that number easily jumps to 1,500 pounds during food-based holidays like the Fourth of July and the Super Bowl.

“It’s by far our biggest seller. It pays the rent on this place.”

With those kinds of numbers,

the beloved Cheesy B is a leading candidate for Santa Cruz County’s Official Sausage (which is a thing we should totally have—get on it, county leaders!).

In 1976, customers of the then20-year-old Corralitos Market were asking for a sausage with cheese in it, and were told there was no such thing.

But not long after, the sausage makers discovered that national chain Hickory Farms was making a sausage with pepper jack. “We thought, heck, if they can do it so can we,” says Peterson, who was just getting his start at the market at the time.

The popularity of the Cheesy Bavarian inspired sister sausages Cheesy Jalapeño and Cheesy Andouille. The Market has even gone beyond retail to do custom cuttings—making Cheesy Bavarians out of wild game for hunters.

“It’s just a simple, basic sausage with beef, pork, mild spice and sharp cheddar cheese,” says Peterson. “There are no frills or thrills and you wouldn’t think it, but man, it’s something special.”

n a recent stay in Carmel at the Hofsas House, we walked over to the welcoming Carmel www.silvermtn.com Road Winery’s tasting room, where I hoped I would run into Drew Barrymore Live with Passion (wishful thinking!), as the famous Thirst for Quality movie Enjoy Silver Mountain Winestar features three of her own wines there. The tasting room A leader in organic and sustainable practices. Fine Winos manager assured me that Barrymore since 1979.

Barrymore, acclaimed actress and oenophile, shares a winemaking partnership with Carmel Road winemaker Kris Kato, who grew up in Portland, Oregon and has garnered experience working at wineries on the Central Coast. The two of them craft three varietals—Drew’s Blend Pinot Noir, Monterey Rosé of Pinot Noir, and Monterey Pinot Grigio, a bright, perky wine which I particularly enjoyed.

Pinot Grigio is known for being easy to like and easy to pair, as it

matches up with a broad array of food. Barrymore’s Pinot Grigio ($22) is crisp and refreshing with citrus and tropical notes—revealing a tasty blend of honeydew melon and lemon, and an elegant minerality. A screw cap top makes it simple to open.

Barrymore’s other wines are also notable—especially the Rosé with its mouthwatering red-fruit flavors and hints of stone fruit. And the lush and vibrant Pinot Noir sells for only $28. Carmel Road’s tasting room is modern, light and airy—and the staff is upbeat and knowledgeable.

We often stay at the warm and friendly Hofsas House Hotel in Carmel because it’s situated very centrally on San Carlos Street—an easy walk to tasting rooms and good restaurants. After lingering over coffee and continental breakfast at the hotel, we strolled down to the ocean and then to Carmel Road’s tasting room. Although Drew Barrymore was not there at the time, I’ll be going back soon … just in case.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES PISCES – TWO FISHES SAVING THE WORLD Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Feb. 21-27, 2018 We are under the light, love and influence of the Lords of Pisces, sign of two fishes held together by a silken cord, one looking toward heaven, the other looking down into form and matter. The fishes are unable to be loosed, not until the personality (the duality of the two fishes seeing two realities) is strong enough to accept the care and tending of the Soul. The two fishes gaze in all directions, longing for their release, longing for the Soul. Pisces understands these things. Pisces understands imprisonment, captivity, being confined, being abandoned, not having freedom, being caught in illusions and glamours, cults, drugs and sex.

Pisces, the last of the zodiacal signs, and containing impressions from all of them, understands sadness, sorrow, grief, melancholy, woe, and most of all, being misunderstood. All of which makes Pisces, after many lifetimes, able to offer understanding, compassion and care, which “saves the world.”

Pisces, when building the personality, experiences drugs, alcohol, dramatic emotions, drowning in a world of the senses.

On the Soul/Spiritual level, Pisces is the “Light of the World … the light that reveals the Light of Life itself.

Pisces’ light ends forever the darkness of matter.”

Those words “light of the world” sound familiar.

Many of the Saviors who came to Earth were born in Pisces. They appear to help humanity as we struggle toward the light. Jesus, the Christ, was One (savior). So was Buddha, Zarathustra and all of the many religious teachers that have appeared on Earth since the beginning of time. In these dark times of the Kali Yuga Age (our present time, where the darkness is allowed to manifest so humanity can make a choice), we await the Reappearance of the Christ, the new Savior and World Teacher of the Aquarius Age. They say He will come soon.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

While busy with professional shifts, changes and rebalancings, turn more toward forgiveness, friends and the future—where the true reality is. Set goals with friends, helping them be stable and successful. Don’t demand too much from others. It creates disappointments. You’re in a time of great creative potential. Why do I see greenhouses and natural warm pools when I enter your world?

You want to play a little more. Some Libran’s are very serious, they don’t play much. They feel injustices in the world and seek to alleviate them. You do this. However, now’s the time for a bit of lightness, for friends, entertaining, communicating with loved ones, interacting with children. In the coming weeks and months, tend carefully to health. See a natural doctor, dentist, care provider, and a deeply listening therapist. Get new shoes. A new endeavor may appear.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 The past weeks have been more like an internal retreat, inner solitude, where something very important has been taking place. Now you consider new goals and plants, tending to their manifestation. This is “white magic.”

Magic is the ancient word for bringing a thought-form into the world, helping it appear in form and matter. Call forth the Holy Spirit (Ray 3) to overshadow you. Divine Intelligence leading to Divine Action. This is esoteric.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 You become more practical with resources because you know a change, new experiences and education are coming that reorient your beliefs. That is, if you have the courage to step into a new reality, enter into a group of like-minded others, plan your travels ahead of time and know the rest of your world will be cared for. You have a bit more time to prepare. Education in the New Aquarian Age calls to you. It’s never too late.

It’s tax time, yes? Sometimes that creates anxiety. This year with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces, it can be even more confusing. The feeling is everything’s just too complex. Like Pisces, you may feel you’re on uncharted waters, in a boat with no captain, no shore in sight, and rumors that pirates are just around the bend. Life feels like that now. Be sure to rest. And find soothing warm calm waters (or arms) to lay in.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You’re sensitive, more than usual. Here you are in your reality and it seems that something, over there somewhere, opposes you. What this means is an integration (of things and thoughts, new and unusual) is attempting to occur. An absorbing and balancing of new realities. One reality may be that creating more companionship and alliances would assist you. Assist your heart, actually.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 There’s always so much to accomplish, so many people to contact, so many ideas to jot down and create goals with. It’s good that Virgo has a developed and orderly work ethic. Virgo is responsible and intelligent. Creativity is to be practical and purposeful this month. You remember something. It makes you sad, glad, wondering, concerned, happy, joyful. All those things together.

Tend to family with extra care, touching in, making contact with all of the family, even those not often seen.

There’s a pull between home and work, family and the world, internal and external realities. Try to meet personal needs first. Stay at home a bit more. Let outer realities fall away. This gives you time to consider a different course of action concerning your gifts, talents and work. What needs tending concerning your own self?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 New thoughts and/or ideas, very new, very future, should be streaming through your mind, creating a Tesla-like electricity in your body. People can sense you’ve become a bit different. You need a close companion. Tesla’s closest companion was a dove? They communicated daily. Which you must do with heart, with those around you. Focus on them more. Soon a strange new spirit of adventure arrives. Where will you go? What/who will call?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Capricorn identities (who am I, really?) continue to shift, change and be transformed, like fluid Earth. Saturn and Pluto are in your sign, creating a great transforming field around you.

People respond to you differently now. They see something—a light perhaps, a sense of focus, a power, a beauty. Stay close to loved ones. And should you require it, call forth the resources needed in your life. They will arrive at just the right time.

These are NO wimpy burgers!

Don’t allow a lack of time or attention to take you away from this task. Train yourself to have a clear idea of all financial transactions. Have a book where you jot down finances, facts and figures. This calls for a bit of discipline, more practicality, and it allows you to have a firm idea of all that you’re worth.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 So, happy birthday, Pisces … yesterday, today, this week, next week. When our birthday month arrives, the Sun’s golden light shines through us. We are beautiful. Our angels stand close by during our birthday month, waiting to hear our needs for the coming new year. A birthday celebration only really occurs when we talk to our angels. Their task is to help us in our needs.

They stand around us … waiting, listening, tending, patient as ever. They offer their gift of loving protection.

SECTION 1. Findings.

A. Pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City of Santa Cruz (“City”) may make and enforce all regulations and ordinances using its police powers.

B. The City has one of the least affordable housing markets in California and the United States, which exacerbates the City’s shortage of decent, safe, affordable, and sanitary rental housing.

C. Renters occupy about 56 percent of the City’s housing stock and 67.5 percent of renters are cost burdened under the federal definition, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

D. Through the City’s Fall 2017 Community Outreach on Housing, the City received extensive public testimony about the exorbitant costs and scarcity of rental units.

E. Given the housing cost burden faced by many City residents, excessive rental increases threaten the public health, safety, and welfare of City residents, including seniors, those on fixed incomes, those with low and moderate income levels, and those with other special needs to the extent that such persons may be forced to choose between paying rent and providing food, clothing, and medical care for themselves and their families.

F. Housing insecurity and excessive rent increases could result in homelessness and displacement of low-income families.

G. The City currently does not regulate rental amounts, rent increases, or evictions from residential housing.

H. Residents of the City have announced plans to place a just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure on the ballot to go before the voters at the General Municipal Election in November of 2018.

I. If adopted by the voters, the measure is estimated to affect 22-24 percent of the City’s housing stock, or about 5,100-5,800 rental units.

J. The City Council finds and determines that in light of the announcement to place a rent stabilization measure on the November 2018 ballot, landlords of rent control eligible properties will have an immediate incentive to serve notices to raise rents or terminate certain tenancies without cause, thereby displacing many tenants in the City who, because of a critically low vacancy rate, will be compelled to find housing elsewhere and at higher rents.

K. The City Council finds and determines that a temporary moratorium on residential rent increases for eligible rental units not to exceed a two percent inflation factor is necessary because rent increases imposed in anticipation of a rent stabilization law would defeat the intent and purpose of any potential future regulation and substantially impair its effective implementation.

L. Based upon the above-described facts and circumstances, and for these same reasons, the City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety, and therefore that it may be introduced and adopted at one and the same meeting, and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

M. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an accepted measure of the general change over time in prices and therefore the cost of living.

The Shelter or Housing component is the largest

portion of CPI. A 2010 study commissioned by the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board found that half of the shelter or housing component of CPI was due to speculation rather than maintenance costs and therefore unduly influenced the rise in overall CPI. A rate of 65% of CPI is a fair representation of the change in cost of living excluding the influence of housing speculation.

N. This interim Ordinance allows up to a 2.0 percent annual increase in rent during the moratorium period, and such figure, which is sixtyfive percent (65%) of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the Bay Area of California for August 2017, is found and determined to provide a fair return.

SECTION 2. Definitions.

A. City Council. The Santa Cruz City Council.

B. Housing Services. Housing Services include, but are not limited to, repairs, maintenance, painting, providing light, hot and cold water, elevator service, window shades, and screens, storage, kitchen, bath and laundry facilities and privileges, janitor services, Utility Charges that are paid by the Landlord, refuse removal, furnishings, telephone, parking, the right to have a specified number of occupants, the right to have pets, and any other benefit, privilege, or facility connected with the use or occupancy of any Rental Unit.

Housing Services to a Rental Unit shall include a proportionate part of services provided to common facilities of the building in which the Rental Unit is contained.

C. Landlord. An owner of record, lessor, sublessor, or any other person, entity or nonnatural person entitled to receive Rent for the use and occupancy of any Rental Unit, or an agent, representative, predecessor, or successor of any of the foregoing.

D. Moratorium Period. The period of time between the effective date of this Ordinance and its automatic expiration upon the City Council’s certification of the November 2018 election results if the rent stabilization measure is not approved by a majority of the voters or, if the rent stabilization measure is approved by a majority of the voters, until the effective date of the rent stabilization measure approved by the voters or, if a just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure is not placed on the ballot for November 2018, on September 1, 2018.

E. Property. All Rental Units on a parcel or lot or contiguous parcels or contiguous lots under common ownership.

F. Rent. All periodic payments and all nonmonetary consideration including, but not limited to, the fair market value of goods, labor performed or services rendered to or for the benefit of the Landlord for use or occupancy of a Rental Unit and Housing Services under a Rental Housing Agreement.

G. Rental Housing Agreement. An oral, written, or implied agreement between a Landlord and a Tenant for use or occupancy of a Rental Unit and Housing Services.

H. Rental Unit. A building, structure, or part thereof, or land appurtenances thereto, or any other rental property rented or offered for rent for residential purposes and Housing Services.

I. Tenant. A Tenant, subtenant, lessee, sublessee, or a person entitled under the terms of a Rental Housing Agreement to the use or occupancy of a Rental Unit.

SECTION 3. Imposition of Temporary Moratorium on Residential Rent Increases.

A. During the Moratorium Period, no Landlord shall increase Rent for any Rental Unit not otherwise exempted by this Ordinance or state law by more than 2.0 percent per year. This moratorium shall not apply to any Rent increase which, after proper notice to the Tenant, took effect prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.

B. Exemptions.

1. The following Rental Units are exempt from the entirety of the moratorium established under this Ordinance: a. Units in hotels, motels, inns, tourist homes and rooming and boarding houses which are rented to transient guests for a period of fewer than thirty (30) days, including all units subject to the transient occupancy tax ordinance codified at City Code Chapter 3.28. b. Units in a hospital, convent, monastery, extended medical care facility, asylum, non-profit home for the aged, or dormitory owned and operated by an accredited institution of higher education; c. Units which a government entity owns, operates, or manages, units subsidized under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. §1437f) or, if other applicable federal or state law specifically exempt such units from municipal rent stabilization and eviction controls, 2. The following Rental Units are exempt from the moratorium on residential Rent increases but are subject to the just cause for eviction provisions established under this Ordinance: a. Single-Family Dwellings; b. Condominiums, including but not limited to townhouses; and c. Rental Units with an initial certificate of occupancy dated on or after February 1, 1995 pursuant to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1954.52), or any successor Act thereto.

C. Initial Rents. This moratorium does not regulate the initial Rent at which a Rental Unit is offered.

D. Affirmative Defense. In any action by a Landlord to recover possession of a Rental Unit, the Tenant may raise as an affirmative defense any violation of or noncompliance with any of the provisions of this Ordinance.

E. Fair Return Determinations. This moratorium, unless extended, is only effective for the Moratorium Period as defined herein. Given that a Consumer Price Index-based 2.0 percent maximum annual increase is allowed during the Moratorium Period, the City Council finds that this moratorium does not deny any owner a fair and reasonable return on their investment.

F. Petition for Relief from Moratorium. If during this Moratorium Period a property owner believes the application of this moratorium’s limitation on Rent increases would deprive the owner of the ability to receive a just and reasonable return on their investment, the owner may petition the city manager for a determination of the amount of Rent necessary to provide the owner with a just, fair, and reasonable return and authorization to charge such Rent. The city manager shall establish a procedure for reviewing such petitions.

SECTION 4. Enforcement Procedures The City, at its sole discretion, may choose to enforce the provisions of this ordinance through administrative fines and any other administrative

procedure set forth in Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code, as amended. Violations of the provisions of this ordinance may be subject to fines of up to $4,000. The City’s decision to pursue or not pursue enforcement of any kind shall not affect a tenant’s rights to pursue civil remedies.

SECTION 5. Civil Remedies.

A Tenant may bring a civil suit in the courts of the state alleging that a Landlord has violated any of the provisions of this Ordinance or any regulations promulgated hereunder including that the Landlord has demanded, accepted, received, retained a payment or payments in excess of the lawful Rent, failed to maintain a Rental Unit in compliance with applicable health and safety and building codes, including but not limited to Civil Code Sections 1941.1 et seq. and Health and Safety Code Sections 17920.3 and 17920.10, or decreased Housing Services. In a civil suit, a Landlord found to violate this Ordinance shall be liable to the Tenant for all actual damages, including but not limited to the damages described in this Section. A prevailing Tenant in a civil action brought to enforce this Ordinance shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Additionally, upon a showing that the Landlord has acted willfully or with oppression, fraud, or malice, the Tenant shall be awarded treble damages. No administrative remedy need be exhausted prior to filing suit pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6. Severability.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid and/or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

SECTION 7. Effective Date and Expiration Date.

This ordinance shall take effect immediately following its adoption. If there is no just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure or other similar measure placed on the ballot for the November 6, 2018 General Municipal Election, this Ordinance shall terminate on September 1, 2018. If a just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure or other similar measure is placed on the ballot for the November 6, 2018 General Municipal Election and is not approved by a majority of the voters, this ordinance shall terminate upon the City Council’s certification of election results for the November 6, 2018 General Municipal Election.

ORDINANCE NO. 2018-04 AN INTERIM EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ REQUIRING JUST CAUSE FOR TENANT EVICTIONS WITHIN THE CITY

real estate

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ hereby ordains as follows: SECTION 1. Findings.

A. Pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City of Santa Cruz (“City”) may make and enforce all regulations and ordinances using its police powers.

B. The City has one of the least affordable housing markets in California and the United States, which exacerbates the City’s shortage of decent, safe, affordable, and sanitary rental housing.

C. Renters occupy about 56 percent of the City’s housing stock and 67.5 percent of renters are cost burdened under the federal definition, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

D. Through the City’s Fall 2017 Community Outreach on Housing, the City received extensive public testimony about the exorbitant costs and scarcity of rental units.

E. Given the housing cost burden faced by many City residents, excessive rental increases threaten the public health, safety, and welfare of City residents, including seniors, those on fixed incomes, those with low and moderate income levels, and those with other special needs to the extent that such persons may be forced to choose between paying rent and providing food, clothing, and medical care for themselves and their families.

stabilization measure is approved by a majority of the voters, until the effective date of the rent stabilization measure approved by the voters or, if a just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure is not placed on the ballot for November 2018, on September 1, 2018.

E. Notice to Terminate a Tenancy. Any notice required under state law or this Ordinance for a Landlord to lawfully cause a Tenant to vacate a Rental Unit.

F. Notice to Quit. A notice specifically required by California Code of Civil Procedure section 1161 for a Landlord to lawfully cause a Tenant to vacate a Rental Unit.

G. Property. All Rental Units on a parcel or lot or contiguous parcels or contiguous lots under common ownership.

H. Rental Housing Agreement. An oral, written, or implied agreement between a Landlord and a Tenant for use or occupancy of a Rental Unit and Housing Services.

I. Rental Unit. A building, structure, or part thereof, or land appurtenances thereto, or any other rental property rented or offered for rent for residential purposes and Housing Services.

J. Tenant. A Tenant, subtenant, lessee, sublessee, or a person entitled under the terms of a Rental Housing Agreement to the use or occupancy of a Rental Unit.

F. Housing insecurity and excessive rent increases could result in homelessness and displacement of low-income families.

K. Written Notice to Cease. Refers to a written notice provided by a Landlord that gives a Tenant an opportunity to cure an alleged violation or problem. Any Written Notice to Cease must:

G The City currently does not regulate rental amounts, rent increases, or evictions from residential housing.

1. Provide the Tenant a reasonable time to cure the alleged violation or problem;

H. Residents of the City have announced plans to place a just cause for eviction and rent stabilization measure on the ballot to go before the voters at the General Municipal Election in November of 2018.

2. Inform the Tenant that the failure to cure the alleged violation or problem may result in the initiation of eviction proceedings;

I. If adopted by the voters, the measure is estimated to affect 22-24 percent of the City’s housing stock, or about 5,100-5,800 rental units.

J. The City Council finds and determines that in light of the announcement to place a rent stabilization measure on the November 2018 ballot, landlords of rent control eligible properties will have an immediate incentive to serve notices to raise rents or terminate certain tenancies without cause, thereby displacing many tenants in the City who, because of a critically low vacancy rate, will be compelled to find housing elsewhere and at higher rents.

L. This interim Ordinance requires that landlords have a just cause for terminating tenancies during the moratorium period.

SECTION 2. Definitions.

A. City Council. The Santa Cruz City Council.

B. Housing Services. Housing Services include, but are not limited to, repairs, maintenance, painting, providing light, hot and cold water, elevator service, window shades, and screens, storage, kitchen, bath and laundry facilities and privileges, janitor services, Utility Charges that are paid by the Landlord, refuse removal, furnishings, telephone, parking, the right to have a specified number of occupants, the right to have pets, and any other benefit, privilege, or facility connected with the use or occupancy of any Rental Unit. Housing Services to a Rental Unit shall include a proportionate part of services provided to common facilities of the building in which the Rental Unit is contained.

C. Landlord. An owner of record, lessor, sublessor, or any other person, entity or non-natural person entitled to receive Rent for the use and occupancy of any Rental Unit, or an agent, representative, predecessor, or successor of any of the foregoing.

D. Moratorium Period. The period of time between the effective date of this Ordinance and its automatic expiration upon the City Council’s certification of the November 2018 election results if the rent stabilization measure is not approved by a majority of the voters or, if the rent

4. Include a statement of the reasons for the Written Notice to Cease with sufficient detail to allow a reasonable person to cure the alleged violation or problem.

SECTION 3. Just Cause Eviction Protections During the Moratorium Period.

A. During the Moratorium Period, no Landlord shall take action to terminate any lawful tenancy, including but not limited to, making a demand for possession of a Rental Unit, threatening to terminate a tenancy orally or in writing, serving any Notice to Quit or other Notice to Terminate a Tenancy, or bringing any action to recover possession, or be granted recovery of possession of a Rental Unit unless at least one of the following conditions exists. This prohibition on impermissible evictions is intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law to all Notices to Terminate a Tenancy and Notices to Quit that were served on a Tenancy prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.

1. Failure to Pay Rent. The Tenant has failed to pay the Rent to which the Landlord is legally entitled under the Rental Housing Agreement, this Ordinance, or any other state or local law.

2. Breach of Lease. The Tenant has continued, after the Landlord has served the Tenant with Written Notice to Cease, to substantially violate any of the material terms of the Rental Housing Agreement, except the obligation to surrender possession on proper notice as required by law, and provided that such terms are reasonable and legal and have been accepted in writing by the Tenant.

4. Illegal Activity. The Tenant is using, or permitting a Rental Unit or the common areas of the Property containing the Rental Unit to be used for any illegal purpose. The term “illegal purpose” as used in this subsection does not include the use of housing accommodations lacking a legal approved use or which have been cited for occupancy or other housing code violations.

5. Failure to Give Access. The Tenant has continued to refuse, after the Landlord has served the Tenant with a Written Notice to Cease, to grant the Landlord reasonable access to the Rental Unit as required by state or local law.

6. Necessary and Substantial Repairs Requiring Temporary Vacancy. The Landlord, after having obtained all necessary permits from the City, and having provided written notice to the Tenant, seeks to undertake substantial repairs that are necessary to bring the Rental Unit into compliance with applicable codes and laws affecting the health and safety of tenants of the building, provided that: a. The repairs necessitate that the Tenant vacate the Rental Unit because the work will render the Rental Unit uninhabitable for a period of not less than (30) days; and b. The Landlord gives advance notice to the Tenant of the Tenant’s right of return to reoccupy the Rental Unit upon completion of the repairs at the same Rent charged to the Tenant before the Tenant temporarily vacated the Rental Unit, or Tenant’s right of first refusal to any comparable vacant Rental Unit owned by the Landlord at the same Rent, if such comparable unit exists.

7. Owner Move-In. The Landlord seeks, after providing written notice to the Tenant, to recover possession of the Rental Unit in good faith for use and occupancy as a primary residence by the Landlord, or the Landlord’s close relative such as a child, foster child, stepchild, ward, parent, grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, or spouse or partner. a. This provision may be invoked only if the Landlord seeking to recover possession of the Rental Unit is a natural person and has at least a fifty (50) percent recorded ownership interest in the Property. b. No eviction may take place under this provision if the same Landlord or enumerated relative already occupies a unit on the Property, or a vacancy already exists on the Property. c. Any Notice to Terminate a Tenancy pursuant to this provision shall contain the name, address, and relationship to the Landlord of the person intended to occupy the Rental Unit. d. The Landlord or enumerated relative must intend in good faith, to move into the Rental Unit within sixty (60) days after the Tenant vacates the unit, and occupy the Rental Unit as a primary residence for at least thirty-six (36) consecutive months. e. If the Landlord or enumerated relative specified on the notice terminating the tenancy fails to occupy the Rental Unit within sixty (60) days after the Tenant vacates, the Landlord shall offer the Rental Unit to the Tenant who vacated it at the same Rent in effect when the Tenant vacated. f. A Landlord may not evict a Tenant under this provision if the Tenant: i. Has resided in the Rental Unit for at least five (5) years; or

a. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section, a Landlord shall not take any action to terminate a tenancy as a result of the addition to the Rental Unit of a Tenant’s family member, such as a child, foster child, stepchild, ward, parent, grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, or spouse or partner, so long as the number of occupants does not exceed the maximum number of occupants permissible under Section 503(b) of the Uniform Housing Code as incorporated by California Health & Safety Code 17922.

ii. The Tenant is at least sixty-two (62) years old, or is disabled pursuant to Government Code Section 12955.3, or is certified as being terminally ill by the Tenant’s treating physician; and

3. Nuisance. The Tenant has continued, after the Landlord has served the Tenant with a Written Notice to Cease, to commit or expressly permit a nuisance in, or cause substantial damage to the Rental Unit or to the unit’s appurtenances, or to the common areas of the Property containing the Rental Unit, or is creating an unreasonable

8. Withdrawal of the Rental Unit Permanently from the Rental Market. The Landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession to withdraw all Rental Units of an entire Property from the rental housing market. Tenants affected by this provision shall be entitled to a minimum of 120-day notice, or a notice of not less than one (1) year in the case

iii. Notwithstanding the above, a Landlord may evict a Tenant who qualifies for the exemption herein if the Landlord or enumerated relative who will occupy the Rental Unit also meets the age or disability criteria for this exemption and no other units are available.

of Tenants defined as seniors or disabled under Government Code Section 12955.3.

B. No Landlord shall take action to terminate a tenancy or otherwise recover possession of a Rental Unit in retaliation for a Tenant reporting violations of this Ordinance, or for exercising rights granted under this Ordinance or any other local, state, or federal law.

C. Any notice purporting to terminate a tenancy on any of the bases specified in this Ordinance must state with specificity the basis on which the Landlord seeks to terminate the tenancy.

D. In any action brought to recover possession of a Rental Unit, the Landlord shall allege compliance with this Ordinance.

E. A Landlord’s failure to comply with any requirements of this Ordinance, including without limitation, the failure to serve any required notices, is a complete affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer or other action brought by the Landlord to recover possession of the Rental Unit.

F. Exemptions. A Rental Unit which constitutes the Landlord’s sole rental property and the following categories of Rental Units shall be exempt from the requirements of this Ordinance, if the Landlord lives on site in: the same residence; a duplex; or a single-family residence with an accessory dwelling unit.

SECTION 4. Enforcement Procedures The City, at its sole discretion, may choose to enforce the provisions of this ordinance through administrative fines and any other administrative procedure set forth in Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code, as amended. Violations of the provisions of this ordinance may be subject to fines of up to $4,000. The City’s decision to pursue or not pursue enforcement of any kind shall not affect a tenant’s rights to pursue civil remedies.

SECTION 5. Civil Remedies.

A Tenant may bring a civil suit in the courts of the state alleging that a Landlord has violated any of the provisions of this Ordinance or any regulations promulgated hereunder including that the Landlord has demanded, accepted, received, retained a payment or payments in excess of the lawful Rent, failed to maintain a Rental Unit in compliance with applicable health and safety and building codes, including but not limited to Civil Code Sections 1941.1 et seq. and Health and Safety Code Sections 17920.3 and 17920.10, or decreased Housing Services.

Additionally, upon a showing that the Landlord has acted willfully or with oppression, fraud, or malice, the Tenant shall be awarded treble damages. No administrative remedy need be exhausted prior to filing suit pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6. Severability.

SECTION 7. Effective Date and Expiration Date.

MELISSA WILEY, 10-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Pre-school teacher/owner, Family Network Hobbies: Relaxing in the sun & hot springs, dancing, teaching dance, cooking, reading, music Astrological Sign: Aries Who or what first got you shopping here? A friend. I came from Southern California where every store is a chain. Shopper’s was a culture shock, and I loved it right away! I like the blend of mainstream, gourmet and specialty items, along with the local organic produce. Do you prefer shopping local? Yes,100 percent. Not only does it show with the quality they put on the shelves but also with the people they hire; they work together and they’re all so nice! Shopper’s is an important community business that brings people together. Locals support Shopper’s because they feel so well taken care of.

What do you like to cook? Roast chicken, pork chops, sausages… simple and classic. Shopper’s butcher shop — always fresh selections — is one of my favorites things here. As a kid, I spent time in Germany, and going to the butcher shop was normal. The guys here are friendly, professional, a little flirty and know me by name! I cook a lot of veggies and usually get a dozen apples when I come here. Shopper’s has amazing wine and chocolate selections, and specialty drinks like the Kombucha iced tea. Shopper’s carries the best local products such as the breads, eggs, honey, salsas and gluten-free pasta.

What would you tell someone new to the community about Shopper’s? Shopper’s is the place to shop for everything. It’s my number one store, for sure. It’s always enjoyable shopping here. Shopper’s has a great variety of selections, and the weekly specials make it fun. If you want to have great experiences and feel like you’re part of a family, go to Shopper’s Corner. I’m always running into into friends, neighbors and families who come to the pre-school. I know some of the checkers from either being their pre-school teacher, dance teacher or nanny.

Shopper’s is a great store — I love it so much!
