OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE In the midst of production on this week’s issue Monday, we received information about accusations of sexual impropriety by Watsonville City Councilmember Oscar Rios. Our News Editor Jacob Pierce worked literally through the night on this story, speaking with the victims at length and corroborating their stories, as well as reaching out to Rios, to make sure that the piece about the allegations in this issue would not be some shallow rehashing of various press releases, but real first-hand accounts of these stories from the women who came forward with them. It also became an examination of how issues of sexual assault have affected women involved in progressive causes. Rios

Congratulations to Good Times and to Wallace Baine. I’ve been saddened by the recent changes at the Sentinel and while I certainly wish them well, I couldn’t be happier to learn of Wallace Baine’s newest adventure. I think Good Times will be a great outlet for his talents and perspectives. I’ve admired Wallace’s work and look forward to his continuing take on what’s happening in town and the broader environment, and I trust Good Times will be an environment in which he thrives. In these hard times we need the Good Times.

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS ON GUNS According to the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are more than 500,000 shootings per year. As law enforcement executives in Santa Cruz County, each of us individually may have different views of how best to reduce gun violence, but we are all committed to providing leadership to prevent and reduce gun violence and to keep our children and teachers safe in our

resigned a mere few hours later, and I don’t think this will be the end of this story, but having been in the room as the conversations around this story unfolded, I have to laud the courage of the women involved and the sensitivity of Pierce’s reporting on it. #MeToo has definitely come to Santa Cruz County, and I’m sure this is only the beginning.

Also in this issue is Andrea Patton’s look at Highway 17 one year after the devastating floods that affected thousands of Santa Cruz commuters. She examines not only what’s been done to Highway 17 in that time, but also the remarkable history of the infamous mountain road that connects Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley, and discovers it has long been a hot-button issue here.

Anyone who drives Highway 17 every day will definitely want to give it a read.

schools. Here are just some of the practices we agree will make a difference.

First, police and prosecutors must proactively investigate and prosecute existing gun laws. The local police should faithfully examine tips from community members concerning violent or unstable people who possess guns and make threats.

Second, local courts must view gun crimes as serious crimes worthy of meaningful sentences and high control post-incarceration supervision. Emphasis should be placed on guns possessed by violent mentally ill offenders, domestic abusers, animal abusers and violent gang members.

Third, California has some of the most stringent laws on firearms; we applaud our legislature for their foresight. California should continue to place reasonable restrictions and limits on future sales or transfers of assault rifles and other firearms that have high-capacity magazines and fire high-velocity bullets. Gun lobbyists must be reasonable, working in good faith with government, to find real solutions.

We need laws that make sense. In our state, possession of a club is listed as a felony, but possession of an >8

The Santa Cruz County Planning Department has confirmed that out of the 65 units going into the new Aptos Village project, 10 of them—15 percent—will be deed-restricted and affordable. Although the prices for these new little homes are a fraction of typical home prices in this area, they still start at $256,000 for a onebedroom. Applications are due May 18, and there will be two informational sessions before then, both of them at the Rio Sands Hotel. Visit sccoplanning.com for more information.

Now that Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) has announced a plan to begin neighborhood policing, the city’s cops are getting ready to unveil the nitty-gritty details behind the new vision. SCPD will hold four events, one in each of the recently established neighborhoods—downtown, upper Westside, lower Westside, upper Eastside, and lower Eastside. The events run from Saturday, March 3 through Thursday, March 8. For more information, visit cityofsantacruz.com or santacruzpolice. blogspot.com.

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

On Sept. 1, 1666, a London baker named Thomas Farriner didn’t take proper precautions to douse the fire in his oven before he went to sleep. Consequences were serious. The conflagration that ignited in his little shop burned down large parts of the city. Three hundred and twenty years later, a group of bakers gathered at the original site to offer a ritual atonement. “It’s never too late to apologize,” said one official, acknowledging the tardiness of the gesture. In that spirit, Aries, I invite you to finally dissolve a clump of guilt you’ve been carrying . . . or express gratitude that you should have delivered long ago . . . or resolve a messy ending that still bothers you . . . or transform your relationship with an old wound . . . or all of the above.

have a wildly fertile opportunity to find and create more intimacy. But in order to take full advantage, you’ll have to be brave and candid and unshielded.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 In the coming weeks, you could reach several odd personal bests. For instance, your ability to distinguish between flowery bullshit and inventive truth-telling will be at a peak. Your “imperfections” will be more interesting and forgivable than usual, and might even work to your advantage, as well. I suspect you’ll also have an adorable inclination to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s impossible to do the perfectly right thing.

Finally, all the astrological omens suggest that you will have a tricky power to capitalize on lucky lapses.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

The Committee to Fanatically Promote Taurus’s Success is pleased to see that you’re not waiting politely for your next turn. You have come to the brilliant realization that what used to be your fair share is no longer sufficient.

You intuitively sense that you have a cosmic mandate to skip a few steps—to ask for more and better and faster results. As a reward for this outbreak of shrewd and well-deserved self-love, and in recognition of the blessings that are currently showering down on your astrological House of Noble Greed, you are hereby granted three weeks’ worth of extra service, free bonuses, special treatment, and abundant slack.

French philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.” American author Henry David Thoreau declared, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” I would hesitate to offer these two formulations in the horoscope of any other sign but yours, Scorpio. And I would even hesitate to offer them to you at any other time besides right now. But I feel that you currently have the strength of character and fertile willpower necessary to make righteous use of such stringently medicinal magic. So please proceed with my agenda for you, which is to become the Smartest, Feistiest, Most Resourceful Lover Who Has Ever Lived.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

No one can be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you’re not. But from a metaphorical perspective, your current state is a close approximation to that impossible condition. Are you or are you not going to commit yourself to birthing a new creation? Decide soon, please. Opt for one or the other resolution; don’t remain in the gray area. And there’s more to consider. You are indulging in excessive in-betweenness in other areas of your life, as well. You’re almost brave and sort of free and semi-faithful. My advice about these halfway states is the same: Either go all the way or else stop pretending you might.

The state of Kansas has more than 6,000 ghost towns— places where people once lived, but then abandoned.

Daniel C. Fitzgerald has written six books documenting these places. He’s an expert on researching what remains of the past and drawing conclusions based on the old evidence. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you consider doing comparable research into your own lost and half-forgotten history.

You can generate vigorous psychic energy by communing with origins and memories. Remembering who you used to be will clarify your future.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

The Appalachian Trail is a 2,200-mile path that runs through the Eastern United States. Hikers can wind their way through forests and wilderness areas from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia.

Along the way they may encounter black bears, bobcats, porcupines, and wild boars. These natural wonders may seem to be at a remote distance from civilization, but they are in fact conveniently accessible from America’s biggest metropolis. For $8.75, you can take a train from Grand Central Station in New York City to an entry point of the Appalachian Trail. This scenario is an apt metaphor for you right now, Cancerian. With relative ease, you can escape from your routines and habits. I hope you take advantage!

It’s not quite a revolution that’s in the works. But it is a sprightly evolution. Accelerating developments may test your ability to adjust gracefully. Quickly-shifting story lines will ask you to be resilient and flexible. But the unruly flow won’t throw you into a stressful tizzy as long as you treat it as an interesting challenge instead of an inconvenient imposition. My advice is not to stiffen your mood or narrow your range of expression, but rather to be like an actor in an improvisation class. Fluidity is your word of power.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Is 2018 turning out to be as I expected it would be for you? Have you become more accepting of yourself and further at peace with your mysterious destiny? Are you benefiting from greater stability and security? Do you feel more at home in the world and better nurtured by your close allies? If for some reason these developments are not yet in bloom, withdraw from every lesser concern and turn your focus to them. Make sure you make full use of the gifts that life is conspiring to provide for you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “You can’t find intimacy—you can’t find home—when you’re always hiding behind masks,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz. “Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.” I can’t imagine any better advice to offer you as you navigate your way through the next seven weeks, Virgo. You will

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 It’s the Productive Paradox Phase of your cycle. You can generate good luck and unexpected help by romancing the contradictions. For example: 1. You’ll enhance your freedom by risking deeper commitment. 2. You’ll gain greater control over wild influences by loosening your grip and providing more spaciousness. 3. If you are willing to appear naive, empty, or foolish, you’ll set the stage for getting smarter. 4. A blessing you didn’t realize you needed will come your way after you relinquish a burdensome “asset.” 5. Greater power will flow your way if you expand your capacity for receptivity.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 As you make appointments in the coming months, you could reuse calendars from 2007 and 2001. During those years, all the dates fell on the same days of the week as they do in 2018. On the other hand, Pisces, please don’t try to learn the same lessons you learned in 2007 and 2001. Don’t get snagged in identical traps or sucked into similar riddles or obsessed with comparable illusions.

On the other other hand, it might help for you to recall the detours you had to take back then, since you may thereby figure out how to avoid having to repeat boring old experiences that you don’t need to repeat.

OPINION

unpermitted and concealed firearm in a crowded movie theater is a misdemeanor.

The legislature should also carve out exceptions to privacy laws to allow mental health care workers to provide information to law enforcement when lives may be saved.

Fourth, firearms dealers must be required to harden their facilities or store all firearms in a safe when closed. Gun stores have been the target of thieves searching for firearms in this county many times in the recent past.

Finally, each and every gun owner must do their part. When not using a firearm, lock it up! Leaving unattended firearms in a building or vehicle is reckless. And all of us have a

responsibility to prevent a family member with a history of violent outbursts to have access to a firearm. We are here to help with those situations if you need us. Santa Cruz County, we can begin with meaningful and civil discourse that leads to action.

Every reasonable person, regardless of one’s position on the Second Amendment, grieves for the lives lost in senseless acts of gun violence. The question becomes, are we willing to make a personal sacrifice to save lives? Every law enforcement executive in this county is willing, ready and able. Are you?

IF YOU SEE KIDS,

School is in session now. Kids might pop up where you least expect them—especially if they’re riding bikes on the sidewalk or in a hurry to get to class.

Be alert and slow down as young people are often unpredictable and tend to ignore hazards and take risks. Watch for kids turning in front of you and popping up behind when you are backing out of the driveway.

The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous; stop far enough away to allow kids space to safely enter and exit. Do not pass when red lights flash.

And since we all know that traffic around schools is a drag, try parking a block away and walking. Get a little exercise, reduce traffic and stay safe.

And always slow down if you see kids. It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

NEWS A REAL NEWS REVOLUTION UCSC’s Conn Hallinan on the media’s fake news problem

BY STEVE PALOPOLI

To paraphrase an old saying often attributed to Mark Twain, everyone talks about fake news, but nobody does anything about it. How did our culture get to a point where anything can be decried as fake news, and what can be done to restore faith in legitimate news reporting?

These are the questions Conn Hallinan will explore in his talk “Stumbling Around Freedom: A History of the Press” on Tuesday, March 6, at the Kresge Seminar Room at UCSC. Hallinan—who, as a former Kresge Provost and faculty leader of the UCSC journalism minor for 22 years, has been the mentor to many aspiring journalists at the university over the years—spoke to GT about the issues facing the mainstream and alternative media.

CONN HALLINAN: I don’t think there’s any one particular thing that you could say ‘this is the reason.’ But the internet has made information available to a wider number of people than any other information system in the history of humanity. It means that there’s an enormous amount of material out there, and most doesn’t really have any checks and balances. There’s good and bad in that. There were checks and balances that existed when you basically just had the mainstream press, but they were ideological checks and balances. And they basically had one view of the United States: the United States was always good, and our enemies were always bad. The United States has the best medical system in the world, has the greatest democracy in the world, etc. A lot of it was pretty oldfashioned propaganda stuff, particularly during the 1950s and the early 1960s. But I think what happened is a number >14

ACCUSATIONS AGAINST COUNCILMEMBER Watsonville’s Oscar Rios, who abruptly resigned Monday, talks with

Becca Reed of Community Television of Santa Cruz County in 2016.

Rios Steps Down

Watsonville City Councilmember Oscar Rios resigns amid allegations of sexual assault BY JACOB PIERCE [Warning: This report contains graphic language.]

L

iz Bean says she still remembers one night in a hot tub in 1988 at the home of Oscar Rios, then a union organizer in Watsonville.

Rios’ girlfriend was also there, and when she stepped into the house, Rios began scooting close to Bean, as the two of them made small talk, she says. Suddenly, Rios reached over to her, Bean says, and put his fingers into her vagina.

“I froze. I could not believe this was happening,” says Bean, who now lives in Canada. “It happened really

fast, and so I was just in a state of shock. Did I do something? Did I say something? Of course, I didn’t say or do anything that invited this. It felt so shameful to me that I couldn’t tell anybody.”

Just hours after allegations of sexual impropriety came to light on Monday, Rios announced in a statement that he was resigning from his seat on the Watsonville City Council.

“Many years ago, I engaged in behavior that, upon reflection, was inappropriate,” he wrote, addressing allegations from Bean and one other woman—neither of whom say they’re interested in

compensation. “I am deeply sorry to hear that my conduct has caused pain and anger to demonstrably good people. It saddens me to know they bear scars from those encounters.”

Rios, a five-time Watsonville mayor, also wrote that he had read the alleged victims’ statements, which had been emailed to local media and Watsonville officials.

Rios, long seen as a champion of South County’s progressive politics, claimed that he did not remember some of the encounters, and that he recalled others differently.

While Bean says she would have preferred to hear an apology >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018

One of the things you’re going to examine at Tuesday’s event is our relationship, as consumers, with the news. Our culture seems to be in a kind of fake-news Chinese finger trap where both sides of an issue are trying to pull at the truth of any story they don’t like. How did we get to a point where everything can be labeled fake news?

NEWS RIOS STEPS DOWN <11 and full admission, she feels Rios’ resignation is an important step.

“It’s justice. The shame has lifted,” says Bean, who felt the time was right to speak out after the #MeToo movement created a space for women who have experienced sexual assault to come forward.

Shiree Teng, who worked with Rios to organize Watsonville’s cannery workers in the 1980s, says she remembers driving out of town with Rios more than 20 times, sometimes to Los Angeles or Stockton or Modesto.

On every drive, she tells GT, Rios would put his hands on her.

She says that he would often slide one hand down her pants, in spite of her repeated protests, and then would repeatedly demand she return the favor, and if she refused, he would grab her hand himself and place it on his penis. Other times, they would get out of the car in the pitch black of night to stretch their legs, and he would demand oral sex.

“The feeling is reduction, being

reduced to nothing. What I wanted and what I felt didn’t matter,” she says. “I was there to comply to the whims and wants of men who are dominant and believe patriarchy in their hearts, even if they say the don’t.”

Teng was 28 and married when she moved to Watsonville in 1985 to begin organizing cannery workers, and Rios, who had already established himself as a charismatic leader in California’s union network, was 40. Although she says she repeatedly told Rios “no” and pushed him away, she stayed at her job because she felt the work was important, and she constantly felt optimistic that Rios’ behavior would somehow come to a halt. On the few occasions that she brought up Rios’ conduct with people she knew, she says they would downplay it. The pain has stayed with her in the 30 years since, and over time festered into a sense of anger.

“I told myself, ‘I am here because of the bigger picture of what

we’re doing. That’s bigger than the harassment and the abuse and molestation that are happening,’” she says. “I thought these things were normal.”

Teng, who now lives in Oakland, adds that she had already been sexually harassed and groped several times as a teenager and a young adult, prior to moving to Santa Cruz County.

Teng also remembers lying on a public beach in Watsonville in the 1980s with Rios, when he took out his penis, started masterbating and then ejaculated on her. When she felt disgusted and embarrassed, she says Rios laughed. Teng says there were “countless” other incidents like this.

“I’m speaking up now. I was weak,” she says. “I didn’t speak up. I wish I did. And I’m doing it now.”

In the years ahead, Teng says she’s optimistic that her three sons and three grandsons will be part of a better future, and says that she has prioritized the issue of consent with them—making sure each boy >16

Santa Cruz’s Ron Pomerantz says his jaw dropped when he heard UCSC would explore adding about 9,000 more students by 2040.

“To gain 50 percent more doesn’t even compute.

You’re kidding, right?” says Pomerantz, a community activist and retired firefighter.

“Everyone needs to be involved.”

He says the announcement felt like a “decree” when it came down from Chancellor George Blumenthal, because it was issued without any community input.

These early stages of the new Long Range Development Plan (LRDP)

process allow the university to test its 28,000-student figure, says UCSC spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason.

Squeezed by state enrollment pressure, UCSC— which currently enrolls about 19,000 students—is holding public meetings in March as part of its process to study possible growth from 2020 through 2040.

Meanwhile, current students complain of already impacted infrastructure, while Santa Cruz deals with a sharp increase in local rents.

In the wake of Blumenthal’s announcement that the university would “study” and “explore” the possibility of expanding to 28,000 students, the university is holding three public forums, each beginning

at 7 p.m.—one on March 5 at Hotel Paradox in Santa Cruz, another on March 6 at the Civic Plaza Community Room in Watsonville, and a final one on March 8 at Capitola’s MidCounty Senior Center.

Hernandez-Jason says UCSC needs to grow to be more accessible to low-income communities. “A record 56,000 frosh applied in fall quarter. So did 12,000 transfer students,” he says. “If we roll up the drawbridge, some students won’t be able to get an education at UC.” Cautiously optimistic, at least one resident has faith in the opportunity for UCSC to become more accessible to local residents, especially ones from South County communities. MariaElena de la

Garza of the Watsonville-based Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County, says the time is right for a conversation about a satellite campus in Watsonville. A member of the LRDP’s Community Advisory Group, she says she has been the only voice in the room representing South County and nonprofits. De la Garza agrees with notions that this is an opportunity to think big.

“I want there to be a true community-wide conversation, participation and inclusion so we know what the needs and the opportunities are,” she says. “We’re supporting the school to make sure the right voices come to the conversation.”

Breakthrough Laser Neuropathy Treatment If You’re S

ering With Peripheral Neuropathy

Capitola, CA e most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. ese drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or antiseizure drugs. ese drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side ects.

e low level light therapy is like watering a plant. e light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

We combine this when medically necessary with super pulsed cold laser therapy to decrease pain and accelerate nerve healing.

Figure 1: Super pulsed laser therapy that helps ht neuropathy pain

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves o en causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance s damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood w to the problems. nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient w.

As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up, which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. e main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. ere is now a facility in Monterey that o ers you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side ects. (See the special neuropathy severity examination at the end of this article)

e amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined a er a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage,e there is hope!

Dr. Susan White, D.C., at Natural Foundations Healing Center, will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve dam age for only $99. s neuropathy severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of the dings of your neuropathy.

Dr. White will be o ering this neuropathy severity examination to the t 25 callers.

My experience with Natural Foundations has been nothing short of stellar. Dr. White and the entire, amazing sta have all been so professional, competent, attentive, kind and helpful with my treatments. ey’ve healed my non- diabetic neuropathy in both feet to where I have gotten my quality of life back, thanks to all their consistent services and professionalism. I am now pain free and able to feel the bottoms of my feet, gaining stability and even able to dance, shop, and drive my car again with total independence.

I consider them all as my “little angels” and am externally indebted to all of them for being responsible for getting me back to doing all the things I believed I’d never be able to ever do again living with my ugly, painful Neuropathy for the past 30 years. You owe it to yourself to give them the opportunity to help you gain a better quality of life. ey are just a phone call away....don’t wait... give yourself the g of the full, healthy life you deserve.

In order to ectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined.

2) How much nerve damage has been sustained?

CONN FOUNDED Conn Hallinan, a faculty leader of the UCSC journalism program for two decades, will speak about the credibility crisis in today’s media.

REAL NEWS <11 of things. First of all, there was really a breakdown when the Cold War began to break up, and the war in Vietnam came along. Suddenly people began to question what they were reading in newspapers.

The New York Times may have exposed the Pentagon Papers, but they strongly supported the war before that happened.

People who went and saw The Post may have been impressed by what they did around the Pentagon Papers, but The Washington Post editorialized in favor of the war right from the beginning.

And so there was a collapse, a sort of recognition that people had been jobbed about Vietnam, about civil rights. The fact that when the civil rights movement began, none of the Northern papers sent

reporters into the South—the first people to do that were in the alternative press.

And I think there was a general kind of political and cultural questioning. But the current polarization, you know, I hate to put it on one thing, but Fox News and Rupert Murdoch have had a tremendous impact here, because Murdoch’s style of making money is to demonize the enemy. And that’s what Fox News does all the time.

What kind of damage does it do to our society when people buy into the Nixon/Trump strategy of positioning ‘the media’ as the enemy?

Well, you know, there was a reason why the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights is on press freedom. That’s not by accident—it’s not the Second Amendment, or the Third Amendment, it’s the first. And the reason

why was because even at that time there was a recognition, having come out of a very hierarchical situation where you had a king who ran everything, that government had to be taken to task—that there had to be a transparency that allowed democracy to take place. Because the thing about democracy is it’s not simply the right to vote. It’s the right to make choices, to know when you’re voting for something that there is a choice there. Without the media, there is no choice. People don’t know what the issues are.

What can legitimate news sources, especially in the alternative media, do to better establish and maintain their own credibility in this era?

How do we fight fake-news fatigue?

Boy, that is the $64,000 question, you

know. It really is. And I wish I had a quick answer to that, but I don’t. I guess the only thing is, there’s this line that Shakespeare gives Hotspur in Henry IV, Part 1. It is “Speak the truth, and shame the devil.” And I don’t know what else to do but to do that.

At various times in American history, the media has made a difference in people’s lives. I mean, it certainly played that role in every great moment, every great social revolution in U.S. history. And that’s true throughout the world. The media played a critical role.

There are two problems. One is that the media is very isolated from the majority of American people. Two, how many editions of the media monopoly were there? Ten, twelve, something like that? We know that fewer and fewer corporations control larger and larger amounts of the media, and that’s just the reality. I mean, it is an absolute problem. And it means that what you’re reading in newspapers is increasingly what a very narrow section of the political and economic spectrum wants you to read in newspapers. Now, how are newspapers going to win back people’s trust when you’re not going to get hard-hitting articles on the oil industry from a lot of newspapers because a lot of newspapers are owned by the oil industry? Or agribusiness, or whatever industry. So you got a problem.

My feeling has always been that you can influence the mass media. I believe that; I’m not a cynic on that question. But you do it by holding their feet to the fire. And the only way you can really hold their feet to the fire is to make your reporting better than their reporting, to make your research better than their research, to contact communities that they aren’t interested in, or maybe don’t even know exist. And to give those communities voice.

Then I think you can have an influence on the mass media, and in any case you can call out the devil. And in the end that’s what this is about. This is about shaming the devil. I think that the underground media, the alternative media, has shown it can do it in the past. I’m absolutely convinced that it can do it in the future.

Conn Hallinan will speak on ‘Stumbling Around Freedom: A History of the Press’ at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 6, at the Kresge Seminar Room at UCSC. Admission is free. Hallinan blogs at dispatchesfromtheedgeblog.wordpress.com.

understands that “No means no.”

Back in the 1980s, Teng tried talking about Rios with two of her best friends at the time, but neither provided much guidance on moving forward.

She says that one friend, Steven Morozumi, told her “I never looked at you as a victim,” which she says rattled her, making her wonder if she should just stick it out.

Morozumi—who says now that he was deeply disturbed by the incidents—was one of three people who corroborated the allegations Bean and Teng made on Monday.

Another was Linn Lee, who’s close with both Teng and Bean. She was the first person to realize that two of her best friends had eerily similar claims about Rios, a man who each of them had felt unable to discuss for so long. Once Lee discovered the connection in late December, she immediately started a conversation between the both of them.

Lee says that Teng sacrificed her own well-being for a cause that she believed in, as Watsonville cannery workers were fighting for better conditions.

“She’s a really strong woman,” Lee says. “But then when she talks about Oscar, she breaks down like she’s a little girl in a way that I’ve never seen before. She’s clearly experienced some trauma with this, because every time she talks about it, she starts to cry.”

Labor historian Peter Shapiro says Teng told him about Rios abusing her when he interviewed her for his 2016 book Song of the Stubborn One Thousand: The Watsonville Canning Strike, 1985-87.

Shapiro, who once considered Rios a friend, says the whole situation is “all too sad for words.”

“I have a feeling that once this stuff gets out, more women will come forward,” he says. “Generally, politicians who do these kinds of things do them as long as they can get away with it, but the women are the ones we should feel sorry for here.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Organization Profile:

Seabright Brewery

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

When Santa Cruz’s Seabright Brewery opened 30 years ago, it was only the sixth small brewery to open in the state of California.

Now it’s one of more than 800, says co-founder Keith Cranmer, and the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union (SCCCU) helped to make it possible.

18

“30 years ago no one knew anything about breweries, they didn’t know breweries would be successful, and they didn’t know people wanted good beer, other than the great Budweiser,” Cranmer says.

Because many people didn’t know about the potential of breweries, he adds, lenders were hesitant to support them financially. He recalls having the majority of the funding, but needed a little more to make ends meet and build a business.

After coming up with a business plan, he went to a few banks around Santa Cruz and tried to get backing.

“The banks said ‘whoa, this is the best business plan I’ve ever read’ and then they slapped me on the back and said ‘but we can’t do any-

thing for you, go away,’” Cranmer recalls. “Because they didn’t have anything to reference about what a brewery was and could do, and there was no information available, they sent us on our way.”

When he walked into SCCCU, however, Cranmer says their proposal was received completely differently.

The credit union saw the potential that the brewery had, and gladly loaned them the money they needed to get off the ground.

“They really do support individuals looking to do something in our community,” he says, adding that at larger nationally-owned banks, the money goes out of the community and out of the state. By investing in SCCCU, he knows his money stays here at home and supports other community initiatives, local businesses, and residents.

“I like knowing that the money the credit union makes from us stays in our community,” Cranmer says.

Today, Seabright Brewery is a renowned destination of live music, bustling crowds, sports fans and,

of course, beer drinkers. With nine brews on tap and giant burgers for the classic American meal, the brewery is a Santa Cruz County jewel. Whenever they need support, they still look to the credit union 30 years later.

breweries, they could see that we were going to be a good part of the community and people would want what we had to offer,” Cranmer says.

“Hallelujah, I love those guys.”

“We have had offers from other banks since, but we like the credit union,” Cranmer says. “And those banks didn’t help us back in the day, so we are sticking with the credit union.”

There are many small batch breweries around Santa Cruz, but Seabright Brewery is the original.

They make all of their beers on site and free of preservatives—a bit different than Budweiser. There’s a beer for every taste, from the classic Pelican Ale to their more experimental golden Mermaid Tail Ale dubbed “one of the weirdest beers in America” by the Huffington Post. On their anniversary year, the brewery is as popular as ever and thanks the SCCCU for supporting them when others didn’t.

“They could see what we were up to, even without information about

HIGHWAY 17: ONE YEAR LATER

After last February’s deluge, what has CalTrans done to make Santa Cruz commuters’ biggest nightmare safer?

BY ANDREA PATTON

H

ighway 17 has a long and winding history of requiring grit and skill from those who traverse it. Of all of the unique characters to routinely travel “Killer 17,” one of the most legendary is Charley Parkhurst, a stagecoach driver who made his way West from New Hampshire during the gold rush in 1849.

Parkhurst, known as One-Eyed Charley for the black eye patch he wore after he lost his eye to the kick of a horse, held a reputation for being one of the toughest drivers to guide a six-horse stagecoach for the Pioneer Line between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz. He carried gold, mail and passengers over the summit, persevering over robbers (killing one named Sugarfoot),

wild pig crossings, dangerous winter weather, and an unsteady mountain—the types of conditions that are easier for commuters to imagine after last year’s unrelenting storms. Only after Parkhurst’s death did the truth come out: he was, biologically at least, female.

The lesson, perhaps, is that Highway 17 has always been full of surprises. But as commuters look

back on the year that rivaled the conditions over which Parkhurst triumphed, they are hoping for far fewer of them on the main artery between Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley this year.

“It was so treacherous,” remembers Judy Jackson, a marriage and family therapist who lives in Santa Cruz and holds her practice in Los Gatos. “It felt like a video game: dodging debris, trees falling around you, and muddy water covering the road.” Jackson has been making the commute for 15 years, and says she has never seen anything like last year’s storms.

They came in with a bang in early January and didn’t let up.

During the early morning hours of Monday, Jan. 9,, 2017, the first mudslide slammed a KGO-TV news van. That slide’s effects lasted days, leaving the road with only one lane of traffic, and drivers deciding between waiting five to seven hours in their cars to get back to Santa Cruz or finding accommodations over the hill, where most hotels were fully booked. For riders who chose to wait it out, the Los Gatos Pizza My Heart delivered on bikes to people stranded in their cars.

The rain poured on throughout the month, and on Feb. 7, the mountain came down again in the same spot when an estimated 300foot section of hillside slid onto the highway, blocking traffic in both directions near Jarvis and Vine Hill roads. Commuters were left to extend their commute by at least two hours by taking Highway 1 to Half Moon Bay or take 101 via 156 in Watsonville, hoping for the best on those roads as well.

Erin Buchla is a twin specialist nanny whose clients for the last 18 years have been in San Jose, where she says there is better money to be made. She remembers one day in 2017 that every route into Santa Cruz was closed, leaving her unable to get home. “I realized we are sort of an island when it comes to these roads. We need to take care of them,” she says.

<21 group Highway 17 Commuters and its more colorful sister group, Santa Cruz Commuters Rants and Raves, which reminds members to “try not to be an asshole all the time.”

A favorite topic on the site, second to “boulders” moving slowly in the fast lane, is the “wet spot,” at Big Moody Curve near Redwood Estates in the southbound lanes. Accidents regularly happen there, and the term EFD, for “Every Fucking Day,” has become a sort of motto for regular commuters. Buchla’s son is even making a clothing line that reps the EFD acronym.

It was on the Rants and Raves page that Buchla first floated the idea of hosting an appreciation event for the workers on 17. “There was just so much complaining, and I felt like instead of complaining we could turn around and appreciate these people for what they’re doing, and not play the blame game because this is Mother Nature we’re working against,” she says. There was a positive reaction to the idea,

and soon her inbox was flooded with offers to contribute food, entertainment and services.

Two days after the second Jarvis slide, a contractor for Granite Construction, Robert “Bobby” Gill and his coworker were struck by a truck that had just emptied debris and was backing up. Both were trapped under the vehicle, and Gill was killed. After word of the tragedy got around, the commuter community rallied, and Buchla’s Go Fund Me page raised $4,200.

By the end of February, when a tree came down crossing all four lanes, commuters and mountain residents had taken matters into their own hands, with one person supplying a chainsaw to cut the tree before emergency crews could get there.

Rainfall totals in January were 11.13 inches, up from the previous year’s 8.31 inches, and February didn’t let up either with almost 10 inches of rain, a dramatic increase from .72 inches the previous year.

ROAD (AND REPUTATION) REPAIR CalTrans bore the brunt of criticism for not moving fast enough on repairs last winter, but a year after the storms, Third District Supervisor for Santa Cruz County Ryan Coonerty says he’s happy with how quickly they responded to the crisis.

Santa Cruz County CalTrans spokesperson Susana Cruz says the improvements have been focused on three areas: Sugarloaf and Glenwood, where the viaducts have had drainage improvements and paving;

•

The Wedding Chapel, where construction is ongoing after a slide went under the roadway and did some damage to water tanks. It required improvements through a paving and a barrier slab. They also did a soldier pile wall, drainage and slope reconstruction. The remaining work will take three or four more weeks with the total project costing 3.5 million;

•

Jarvis Road, where work is continuing after the slides. Cruz says there is an ongoing effort to repair the road from storm damage and maintenance from Scotts Valley to the county line at the summit. There are water percolation issues, so they are putting in a mattress drain system. This cost of this project is 1.5 million.

On the Santa Clara County side of the road, CalTrans is attending to sinkholes. Near mile marker 3.0 (measuring from the County Line at Patchen Pass), crews detected a sinkhole that appeared on the embankment as a result of the heavy winter storms. Further investigation showed that the culvert became separated, causing more erosion, which extended below the northbound number two (slow) lane. They discovered a second drainage system problem at post mile 3.1, where an invert was completely rotted away and washing out material under the pavement.

Also in April, a sinkhole began to manifest itself south of Idylwild Road at mile 1.6, close to the Redwood Estates exit that also leads to Holy City, once a religious community with a famously lurid history. The department’s geotechnical staff determined that higher groundwater levels due to the heavy winter storms were causing the sinkholes. If allowed to continue unabated, they warned, the sinkholes would expand further, with the resulting pavement damage causing closure.

Meg Brown, an artist and educator who is now retired, remembers when it was common for cars to overheat going over the summit. Her favorite improvement on Highway 17 is the raising of the berm by four inches to help block oncoming headlights, but she also appreciates the attention to detail that has gone into the recent repairs, including the faux rock walls on the exterior of the barrier walls.

“It’s a beautiful hill, and they stayed with the beauty of the hill just by that little detail, besides all

<23 of the engineering that went into it to make sure the hill doesn’t slide in and block people from being able to get to work,” Cruz says.

HOW SAFE? The high volume of commuters poses the biggest challenge to road repairs, says Cruz. There are currently 63,000 people commuting over the hill to work each day.

Some, like Jackson, have grown to love their commutes over 17. She’s noticed that the scanning of the road seems to mimic the healing that happens in EMDR therapy used for trauma. She says it helps her to process the traumatic experiences of her clients as well as her own grief she experienced when her mom passed away. “Where I used to dread my commute, I now see it as sort of meditation and therapy and appreciate the calm it brings,” she says. “Well, when the road isn’t being washed away in a storm.”

Even with an increasing number of commuters, Cruz says the Safe on 17 Task Force that was developed 10 years ago has had an impact on reducing collisions by 40 percent in the last decade by focusing on increased enforcement and visibility by the California Highway Patrol, changeable message signs indicating speed or warnings, closed circuit TV cameras and traffic monitoring stations.

That trend has reversed in the last two years, though. In an email, Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s transportation planner Ginger Dykaar tells GT that “over the last three years, the number of injuries and fatal collisions on Highway 17 have increased substantially, with the increase in 2016 being the greatest since the Safe on 17 program began.” Complete 2017 collision data will be revealed at the Safe on 17 meeting next month.

Of the 989 collisions in 2016, 266 were injury accidents, and two of those were fatal. That number of fatal injuries may seem shockingly low to commuters who see semingly physics-threatening accidents

regularly, but most years, the fatalities are either one or zero—a huge improvement from 36 in 1967, and 8 in 1990. Throughout the years, speeding has consistently been listed as the primary factor for collisions.

While there is not a lot that can be done to widen the road because of the geographical limitations, the Highway 17 Access Management Plan, a multi-agency effort, hopes to reduce “contact points” by studying the congestion patterns. They believe that reducing the entrances and exits through driveway consolidation will help keep traffic moving more smoothly. “You’re not widening the roadway, you’re trying to make that roadway as productive and as least congested as possible,” Cruz says.

“It’s always a balance, because people rely on those entrances or exits to get to their homes,” Coonerty says, “so it’s looking at changes on a micro level to understand what can be done and how it would impact people.”

Stephen Brown, who began commuting on Highway 17 in 1980 and made the trip “only a couple thousand times” before he was able to work as a technical writer from home in Santa Cruz, appreciates these minor adjustments. He recalls the slight widening of curves and the addition of a shoulder to the second curve after the Glenwood Cutoff where there used to be regular accidents. “They did a fairly minor change. All it meant is there was a little shoulder there, it was a little wider, and it made it hugely easier to drive, in ways that most people don’t pay attention to,” he says.

Brown has paid a lot of attention to Highway 17, though, making the highway a fictional character in a book he wrote after he served on a jury involving a road-rage shooting death of a man in 1991. The incident apparently started near Lexington Reservoir, continued over the 26-mile stretch of the mountain, and ended near 41st Avenue, where paramedics found the victim’s body and initially thought it was a hit and run incident.

The idea of keeping Santa Cruz small and sacred goes back as long as the road has been in existence, to the Ohlone who lived here for 10,000 years before the Spanish arrived.

Father Lasuén, founder of nine of the 21 California missions, made the journey over the hill, according to historians, on Aug. 28, 1791.

In his 1791 report written at the San Carlos Mission, he expresses excitement about building a trade route between the Santa Clara and Santa Cruz missions, and although it was a rough road, he would have it repaired “by means of the Indians of the mission”—i.e., slave labor.

More than 200 years later, onethird of Santa Cruz County relies on the economic connection to the South Bay, according to Coonerty.

Just as long-standing is residents’ resistance to the commute.

Controversies about making the road more direct began in the 1950s, according to Richard Beal’s 1991 book Highway 17: The Road to Santa Cruz. At the time of the debate over whether to designate 17 as a freeway in the 1960s (which would have eliminated entrances and exits), then-Santa Cruz County Supervisor Henry Mello introduced a resolution to make Highway 17 a one-way road northbound from Santa Cruz. It failed by a 3-2 vote.

This idea appeared again in 1984 when Gary Patton, then a Santa Cruz County Supervisor, said, “A decision to widen Highway 17 will fundamentally alter the future of the [Santa Cruz] community. If we add more lanes to the highway, they will be used to capacity and it will destroy the independence and uniqueness of this community. The only thing that gives us any chance of maintaining our quality of life here is that mountain.”

Coonerty’s idea of quality of life for Santa Cruzans has evolved since Patton spoke those words. He’d like

to see our local economy supporting Santa Cruz residents. “Every hour you’re sitting in your car trying to get to and from work is an hour you’re not spending with family or volunteering in the community or coming to a city council meeting,” he says.

He points to the growing tech companies Looker, Productops, Buoy, and Amazon. “Amazon’s growing here is a product of their engineers not wanting to commute over the hill.

I think companies are recognizing they can have access to a talent pool and lower real estate costs here and happier employees if they set up satellite offices or they let them work remotely in co-working spaces or at home. I’m hopeful that the future economy, by allowing that flexibility, can be a little more humane for our residents,” he says.

Matthew Swinnerton, programs director of Santa Cruz Works, whose mission supports the development and growth of tech and science companies here in Santa Cruz, says it’s already happening. “They’re already here. If you go to Amazon’s career page, they have 32 open positions. Looker has 25 positions.

Plantronics has 26. Those are just the published positions, and I know Amazon and Looker are going to increase that significantly,” he says.

Buchla, who has two side jobs as an Uber driver and caterer, ended up throwing the appreciation party that her Go Fund Me page had funded for Highway 17 workers, police and firefighters on June 17 of last year.

It included a host of raffle prizes— including four box seat tickets to the Giants and Sharks games and five-star hotel stays—food from Corralitos Meat Market, beer from New Bohemia Brewing, and ice cream from Marianne’s, as well as music by local musicians.

Like so many, Buchla dreams of ending her daily Highway 17 drive even under the best conditions.

She may not be able to find high paying nanny jobs here, but she has her sight set on opening a café in Capitola Village.

“Maybe the commute will be over,” she says.

“Henry doesn’t play guitar, he plays airplane,” Hanrahan says. “He creates this crazy amazing sound.

From day one, this piece keeps.

It’s so much bigger than all of us.

It’s just been unbelievable. We sold out at Sweetwater. The whole Dead community is involved. I’m so excited to bring this to Santa Cruz.”

Like at Sweetwater, the band follows Love Supreme with a second set dedicated to Meditations, the spiritual sequel that Coltrane recorded a year later. More protean than ever, Trane’s music had become more tonally and rhythmically untethered, and the addition of tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders provided an ecstatic foil for the inveterate searcher.

“Most recorded covers take a really different attitude than Coltrane would have liked,” Kaiser says. “I think it’s a door to go through, and you get different things every time you go through it. A lot of people interpret it as a tribute to this specific recording, but we’ve made it electric Love Supreme, more like what ROVA did with Electric Ascension,” a live album and DVD by the great Bay Area saxophone quartet and a stellar cast of musicians exploring Coltrane’s late-career free jazz communion.

Kaiser is onto something. Always in progress, Coltrane didn’t intend the Dec. 9 Love Supreme session as a final statement. According to Ashley Kahn, who wrote the 2003 book A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album, the suite was always intended for a larger ensemble.

“Purely on a musical level, it’s a suite that opens itself up to interpretation,” Kahn told me before a concert marking the 50th anniversary of A Love Supreme’s release. “Coltrane’s original structural plan was to augment the quartet with two more horns and three Latin percussionists. You could see that Coltrane looked at the music as a fluid thing.”

In the hands of Kaiser, Manring, and Hanrahan, et al, you can expect that liquid to be molten.

says Henry Kaiser, the crazy experimental guitarist. “It means a lot to a surf guitarist like Jim Thomas. It inspires this passion in people. They love it and feel like it changed their lives.”

Outside of San Francisco’s Saint John Coltrane African Orthodox Church, which has used A Love Supreme as a musical liturgy since opening for worship a few years after the 40-year-old saxophonist’s death from cancer in 1967, no one in the region has done more to make the full suite an active part of the repertoire than Santa Cruz drummer John Hanrahan. He’s been performing the suite around the country in recent years, including a memorable set at the 2014 Monterey Jazz Festival, but the band he brings to Michael’s On Main on Saturday approaches A Love Supreme from an entirely different angle.

Rather than interpreting the suite with an acoustic quartet echoing Trane’s classic ensemble with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones, Hanrahan is plugging in with the divergent electric guitar tandem of Kaiser and Jim Thomas (of the Mermen), electric bass virtuoso Michael Manring, powerhouse tenor saxophonist Tim Lin, and keyboardist Bob Bralove, who brought next-generation digital technology to the Grateful Dead.

It was an encounter with Elvin Jones at Kuumbwa two decades ago that led Hanrahan to A Love Supreme.

After a show, he had a chance to talk to the drum legend about the album, and when he purchased a copy, he realized that it was recorded on his birthday (Dec. 9). Reading Coltrane’s liner notes, a passionate prayer (“Let us sing all songs to God”) “just hit home so hard for me,” Hanrahan says. “It really helped me at a time I was going through a difficult period.”

He introduced his Love Supreme tribute in Chicago in 2003, and has been playing it ever since, but it wasn’t until a show in Mill Valley four weeks ago that he expanded the instrumentation. Hanrahan credits veteran booker Tom Miller with suggesting he collaborate with Kaiser, a creative force in free improvisation for four decades.

LEADER OF THE ‘CLUB’ Author Karen Joy Fowler has lived in Santa Cruz for the last decade.

PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Genre Neutral FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Karen Joy Fowler, author of ‘Jane Austen Book Club,’ on her influences and her process BY CHRISTINA WATERS

28

I

f she didn’t write books, Karen Joy Fowler might spend most of her time reading.

“I have to read while I’m writing a book,” says the author of the celebrated Jane Austen Book Club. “I am in this space of needing to do other things. My brain keeps searching. It may have nothing to do with what I’m writing, but the cross pollination of ideas is important.

One book can influence the next.

And reading keeps my enthusiasm for books front and center."

Fowler made her home in Davis for many decades until her husband’s retirement. “He wanted to go back to Southern California, and I had visions of retiring to Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest,” she says.

“So we settled on Santa Cruz.” Where she’s lived for 10 years.

About the nuts and bolts of her writing practice: “I don’t write every day,” she admits. “Too many distractions. Except at writers retreats. That sort of hothouse environment allows me to not think about dinner or shopping, and just write.” Her favorite retreat is Hedgebrook on Whidbey Island.

“Listening to others reading strengthens me as a critical reader.

Often it’s a wake-up call for me. I can learn what I think through a piece that is not my own.”

Fowler’s eyes are the color of storm clouds over the ocean, an intense blue-grey. She chooses her words carefully and without unnecessary drama. She is devoted to Pilates.

“I never took a writing class, I have no literary background. My degree was in political science. And

perhaps that is why I bring a wide lens to my stories. I’m always aware that there’s a big world out there.”

She admits to a “mystifying confidence,” about her writing, characterizing herself as persistent, “even when things aren’t working.

I am very stubborn.” Fowler claims that writing the first draft of a book helps her clarify the project itself.

“Quite recently I had some insight into what is now a four-year novel I’m working on. I was at a family dinner, trying to answer someone’s question about what kind of book I was writing. I realized I wasn’t clear about what kind of book it was.”

Process provides insight, something many writers agree upon. In the writing, the book’s focus emerges.

“I would prefer to work faster, but I can’t,” she says. An impish smile

crosses her face. “But I don’t believe that distractions are necessarily bad.

It can appear that I’m wasting time, but the ideas are percolating in the background.” From anyone else, that might sound like a dodge.

Fowler spent her first 11 years in Bloomington, Indiana. “I read a lot,” she says. “Books in the library there weren’t cataloged according to genre.

The titles were simply all arranged alphabetically. So I never thought in terms of genres, didn’t care about genre distinctions. That freed me.”

And that freedom resulted in Fowler’s eclectic portfolio of short stories, novels, science fiction, and fantasy.

“When I went to my first science fiction writers conference I found a community that had a much clearer continual conversation. They were my people.” Now she grins and her eyes morph to pale blue. Her tone becomes hushed, even reverent when she mentions Ursula Le Guin and Donna Haraway, whose literary territory interweaves with her own.

Intrigued by entwinings of gender as well as genre, Fowler founded the James Tiptree Award which focuses on expanding explorations of gender. Sarah Canary, her first book, “pushed back against the idea that communication could even be possible. The central character is inexplicable,” Fowler explains. “She cannot communicate. So those who meet her impose their view of who she is according to who they are.”

Fowler clearly relishes breaking through expectations. “There are no rules when writing a novel. And while genre does have rules, they are rules I can break. Otherwise the books would be formulaic and predictable.”

A passionate reader, Fowler often re-reads books she has loved. Jane Austen, for example. “She’s a puzzle to me, a puzzle I like thinking about.

I don’t think there’s a more elastic writer.”

Fowler confesses that she burned out on Jane Austen when writing her bestseller on the 18th century novelist. “There’s no shortage of books about her,” she says, eyes twinkling. Currently working on a book set in 19th Century California, Fowler happily admits that right now she has “no deadline, no rush.”

For me, art is life, and every aspect of the creative process is metaphorical and pertinent to everything else I do and all that I am.

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

I am an assemblage artist with an enormous passion for gathering discarded items and finding what is precious and possible in these objects that were once considered disposable, unimportant, uninteresting or lacking in value. Equally fulfilling is putting these objects together, in exciting ways, to create something new and vibrant. I also like to inspire others about the idea of making art from the objects in their lives, to look at the world around them as full of creative possibilities.

32

Rather than making art with a theme, or any idea about the outcome, I am guided by the materials and the creative process itself. I experiment with a wide variety of objects, choosing what to use, arranging and re-arranging them, until the composition speaks to me. Then, finding ways to attach everything, while maintaining the visual integrity of the piece, presents fun challenges and lots of searching for solutions.

I have been making art from found objects since I was a child, continually expanding what I use, how it’s all juxtaposed, how I connect everything and how it looks. I have always felt a sense of being a conduit for the creative process to move through. I am deeply grateful for this experience, which fills my life with constant excitement and inspiration.

MUSIC

THEY ARE NUTS Squirrel Nut Zippers perform at the Rio Theatre on March 5.

Squirrels Unzipped

I

n 1993, James “Jimbo” Mathus, a transplant from Mississippi to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, co-formed the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Comprising what Mathus describes as “starving artists working different menial jobs,” the band became a sensation and found itself near the forefront of the late1990s swing revival.

“We were washing dishes, doing carpentry, just rehearsing and grooving on weird old American music and arts and entertainment,” says Mathus, explaining that the members were “digging on” calypso music from Trinidad, German cabaret records and whatever else they could find. “That’s what was going on

for us. We didn’t have TVs, we just played music and worked. We were just juiced on what we were doing, uncovering the old weird roots.”

Early Squirrel Nut Zippers albums are high-energy and hard-swinging.

The group’s live performances were spectacular throwbacks to the classic big band era. The Zippers released seven albums over the next seven years, including the platinumcertified Hot, then went their separate ways. The band reformed briefly and released a live album in 2007, but has been quiet since.

The break was due, in large part, to Mathus getting “swept up” recording and touring with blues legend Buddy Guy, including

playing guitar on Guy’s Grammywinning 2003 album Blues Singer.

The experience sent Mathus down a different path and he had to put the Squirrel Nut Zippers behind him.

Since then, Mathus has been active as a producer, has been writing songs and engineering, released 15 solo albums, and has toured 225 days a year in a van.

In 2016, he reenergized the Squirrel Nut Zippers and the band has been “touring hard” for a year. With a new album, Beasts of Burgundy, set for release on March 23, the band has new life, a fresh outlook, and new tunes.

“I gave no thought to writing Squirrel Nut Zippers material for the

Squirrel Nut Zippers will perform at 8 p.m. on Monday, March 5 at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $35. 423-8209.

With a new album due out and a new sound, reinvigorated Squirrel Nut Zippers catch second wind BY CAT JOHNSON

past 17 years because I was writing other stuff,” says Mathus. “When we started getting back together, pretty quickly I realized I needed to start writing again. I was inspired through the energy of the new cast and the characters that lie therein.”

Born and raised in Mississippi, Mathus grew up in a “real musical Southern family.” He was part of a family band and grew up singing and playing all kinds of music, including folk songs from the area. He was introduced to big band music, Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong through Looney Tunes cartoons.

Mathus’ appreciation of swing, big band and Southern roots traditions is at the heart of the Squirrel Nut Zippers’ sound that blends jazz, cabaret, folk, punk, rock and roots. As one of the driving swing revival bands, the Zippers stood out from the pack of throwback swing bands because they brought something new to the genre while building on a solid foundation and understanding of it.

“It comes back to the songs we write,” says Mathus. “They’re kind of enduring. Our songs separate us from any type of throwback thing right off the bat … They’re well composed, interesting songs.”

Now Mathus has a bigger band, some “fresh talent,” and an opportunity to “reevaluate the material and make it even stronger than it was.” Once again, the Zippers push at genre confines. Beasts of Burgundy is dark and mysterious, a celebration of the old, weird New Orleans and a story of characters who accidentally miss Mardi Gras.

Mathus’ longtime mantra is, “Let the music lead.” This revitalization of the Squirrel Nut Zippers is the latest journey led by the music—and Mathus says he couldn’t be happier.

“I just kind of rolled the dice and said, ‘Let’s give it a shot,’” he says.

“Now it’s to the point where, after a good year on the road under our belt and a new record that’s fantastic, I’m just looking forward to the next decade.” Then he adds with a laugh.

“Or so.”

GREEN FIX

COMMUNITY ART FUNDRAISER The U.S. is facing the largest removal of protected lands ever, and the Monumental Action organization, a Felton-based grassroots organization, believes that the key to protecting our land is through art and creativity.

Monumental Action will host its first community art fundraiser on First Friday to continue their mission in bringing awareness and visibility around the importance of the environment and public lands.

WOODSTOCK’S SC PINT NIGHT

‘IMAGINING SAFE SPACE: A CONTEMPORARY FIBER ARTS SHOW’ At this show, “make the most with what you have” is an understatement.

Professional textile artist Marilou Moschetti and emerging artist Laurie McCann collaborated on an exhibit to encompass what safe spaces mean and why they matter, using mostly recycled and repurposed materials. McCann says she was heartbroken by the lack of spaces for both animals and people, and wanted to create a show around the importance of safe spaces. Both fiber artists showcase 3D objects like cocoons, nests, caves and other forms made from sustainable cloth, twine and paper.

FRIDAY 3/2-SUNDAY 3/11 ‘A RAISIN IN THE SUN’

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

UCSC Theater Arts and Cultural Arts and Diversity presents A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The 1959 Broadway hit tells the story of a lower class AfricanAmerican family’s experiences and struggle to gain middle-class acceptance in the face of racism and poverty. Renowned Hollywood actress and UCSC alum Adilah Barnes will play the lead role; you may know her as Anne Marie on ABC’s Roseanne. The title is a nod to Langston Hughes’s poem, “A Dream Deferred,” and the play centers around institutionalized racism and injustices still present today. A Raisin in the Sun is an opportunity for more discourse around racism and economic inequality, because Black history and experiences don’t end in the month of February.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

AUSTIN SHAW Last September, laid-back local folk-rock singer-songwriter Austin Shaw released his debut album to a packed house at the Kuumbwa. That same year, he did some touring with Americana legend David Bromberg, as well as ’90s alt-rockers Dada.

“It was a busy 2017,” he says.

Only a few years earlier, Shaw was living in New York, working at an investment bank firm. Music was barely a part of his life.

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“It’s the antithesis of what I’m doing now,” he says of his not-so-long-ago old life. “I was working endless hours and wasn’t inspired or enjoying my job.

I was doing it to make money. I was doing it because that’s what you do. You graduate from college, and you go and get a job, and get on that treadmill.”

40

He visited his sister in San Francisco, and enjoyed the break from the rat race so much that he decided to call his boss and quit right there. After flying back to get his stuff, he first lived in San Francisco, then Santa Cruz, lured by the surfing and easy beach life.

Since then, he’s become quite a prolific songwriter. “I’ve always been a big fan of storytellers, the James Taylors and the Paul Simons of the world, [up] to new guys like Mason Jennings. There was always something that I connected with.

I was actually an English literature major in college,” Shaw says. “Once the floodgates were open, it started to flow.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

ADRIAN MARCEL

WEDNESDAY 2/28 JAZZ

MILES ELECTRIC BAND Miles Davis landed at the center of the jazz/rock fusion movement with the release of Bitches Brew, but that seminal 1969 album marked the start of a new journey rather than a culmination. He continued to evolve over the next two decades, adding and subtracting elements from rock and funk, Brazilian and Indian music, West African and psychedelia.

The Miles Electric Band explores a broad swath of this territory, and features a rhythm section with players who toured and recorded with Davis, including Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones, percussionist Munyungo Jackson, and drummer Vincent Wilburn. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $35. 427-2227.

THURSDAY 3/1 AMERICANA

MCCOY TYLER & FRIENDS I don’t know if you know this, but

McCoy Tyler has a lot of friends.

You might have seen him booked as the McCoy Tyler Trio or the McCoy Tyler Band or the McCoy Tyler Wild Psychedelic Ride Through Santa’s Village. Maybe not the last one. But the iteration that makes the most sense is McCoy Tyler & Friends, because that’s what all of these monikers really are: Local boy Tyler playing his unique, earnest brand of Southern rock ’n’ roll meets classic Americana meets power pop with his very talented Santa Cruz friends. If you’re lucky, you may end up being one of his friends someday. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michaels on Main, 2591 S. Main St., Soquel. $8. 479-9777.

FRIDAY 3/2 ROCK

JERRY JOSEPH & THE JACKMORMONS Salt Lake City is a trip—having grown up there, I can say that. The Mormon church has a presence that weaves through most things, but the area is also cradled by one of the most spectacular mountain ranges you’ll ever see, the people tend to be neighborly, and Salt Lake has an outstanding arts and music scene—including a robust

music underground. Jerry Joseph & the Jackmormons is one of the local-bands-done-good from the area.

Led by prolific singer-songwriter Jerry Joseph, from the groups Little Women and Stockholm Syndrome, the band ventures into psych-leaning rock, a bit of jam, and a lot of lyrical poetry, and has extended its reach far beyond SLC. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12. 429-6994.

R&B

BOOKER T. JONES Way back in the way, way back, Booker T Jones wrote and performed some legendary soul-R&B classics.

His instrumental “Green Onions” for his band the M.G.’s is arguably one of the most famous instrumental tracks ever put to wax. It’s got a real “Hit the Road Jack” vibe, but 1,000 times better. The M.G.’s are considered originators of the grooving Southern soul in its infancy. Jones’ accomplishments in music are too numerous to list here—just set your alarm for March 2, and go enjoy the music of a legend. AC INFO: 7 & 9 p.m. Kuumbwa, 320 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $40/door. 427-2227.

MONDAY 3/5 PSYCH ROCK

EARTHLESS According to the Oxford Dictionary, “earthless” is an adjective from the 17th century defined as “unencumbered by material or earthly things; spiritual,” and it’s the perfect name for this trio of headbangers from San Diego. No strangers to Santa Cruz, Earthless has been delighting heshers and rockers since 2001 with a no-holds-barred brand of controlled chaos. Packing in more jam than a

Smucker’s plant, Earthless explores the space in between sounds, taking listeners on a psychedelic spin through structure and improvisation unlike any before them. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $22/door. 429-4135.

TUESDAY 3/6

FOLK-ROCK

MAMMALS New York’s Hudson Valley has a rich folk music history; the legendary Pete Seeger championed environmental and social causes in the area, among others. Folk-rock group the Mammals is part of a new generation of bands carrying on the Hudson Valley music lineage, sharing its legacy with the global audience of roots music fans. Co-founded

by Seeger’s grandson, Tao Rodríguez-Seeger, the band brings a high-energy vibe to folk traditions and a truth-to-power ethos of which Seeger would have been proud. In 2008, the band went on hiatus and now they’re back, with a performance Tuesday at Flynn’s Cabaret (formerly Don Quixote’s). CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

Born in 1979, when classic Jamaican roots reggae was all but over, Mark Dyer—later to be known as Warrior King—would grow up to embody this classic ’70s sound, and its uplifting spirit. Back in the ’90s, he went by the name Junior King, and was a popular dancehall artist. His change to Warrior King was more than just a style change, it was about embracing his spiritualism. He dedicated his music to fighting oppression, and loving God. “Virtuous Woman” was the debut single as Warrior King in 2001. Ever since, he’s had a loyal fanbase for creating incredible reggae. AC

five years ago—at the ripe age of 22—with his explosive mixtape 7 Days A Week. His smooth voice and wide range of R&B, hip-hop and soul music influences have led the Oakland native down a path of collaborating with everyone from Kelly Rowland and Sage the Gemini to Raphael Saadiq, who also produced the singer’s debut mixtape.

Last year, Marcel dropped his long awaited debut full-length, GMF U, and continues to represent Bay Area sounds to a new generation across the country. MAT WEIR

“Love My Way,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Heaven,” “The Ghost in You”—hit after hit after hit, the Psychedelic Furs were an era-defining band in the 1980s.

Whether you were new wave, goth or punk, the Furs had something for you; the band had enough edge and mystery to give their mainstream popularity underground credibility. Formed in the late ’70s in London by brothers Richard and Tim Butler, the band went on a 10-year hiatus in the early ’90s but reformed in 2001, and it has been touring and performing ever since. If you want to revisit your youth, or just witness one of the great post-punk bands, get out your hairspray, cuffed jeans and paisley shirt and hit the Catalyst on March 11. CAT JOHNSON

FILM category, and Peele earned a Best First Feature nod from the Directors Guild of America (although Del Toro won Best Director from the DGA), so anything is possible.

BEST ACTRESS Frances McDormand, Three Billboards. Bet the rent; name an award in this category, and she’s already won it. And deservedly so.

BEST ACTOR Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour. Another shoo-in, like all four favored acting nominees. Besides, there has to be some kind of recognition for a guy who started out playing Sid Vicious tackling the role of Winston Churchill.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Allison Janney, I, Tonya. She doesn’t just “disappear” into the role of Tonya Harding’s cold, heartless mom; Janney plays her in a trance-like state of viperish perversity.

Mavericks duke it out at 90th Academy Awards

A

fter the OscarSoWhite hashtag movement a couple of years ago, the Motion Picture Academy’s demographics have altered. With membership now opened up to a younger, more diverse crowd of film pros, you might expect this year’s nominees to feature a few plucky mavericks vs. the mainstream favorites. But—surprise! Almost none of the nominees qualify as “mainstream,” including the two top contenders: Guillermo del Toro’s lush, eerie, romantic fantasy The Shape of Water, and Martin McDonagh’s blackly comic morality play Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

While the predictive winners in all four acting categories are pretty much set in stone (results have been

uniform throughout the awards season), there’s still plenty of room to stir up trouble! Here’s what I think will happen: BEST PICTURE Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri. Usually, if you subtract the four (out of nine) nominees whose directors didn’t get a nomination in their category, that narrows the field to five serious contenders. But even though McDonagh wasn’t nominated for directing Three Billboards, it’s already won a Golden Globe for Drama, and the Screen Actors Guild Ensemble award. The Shape of Water is my favorite movie of the year, but I think it will rack up its Oscars elsewhere.

The Post was a favorite going into the season, with its timely tale of

BY LISA JENSEN

crusading journalists standing up for the truth, but here, the lack of a nomination for director Steven Spielberg suggests it’s run out of steam since then. Less likely (but not impossible) upsets might by Greta Gerwig’s smart, beloved indie comedy, Lady Bird, or Jordan Peele’s darkly subversive racial-politics horror movie Get Out (Gerwig and Peele both scored directing nominations).

BEST DIRECTOR Guillermo del Toro, The Shape of Water. He’s already won every award there is in this category—in compensation for Three Billboards walking off with most of the Best Picture prizes—but mostly because Del Toro’s irrepressible, iconoclastic personality infuses every frame of this rapturous movie. Gerwig won a Golden Globe in the comedy

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards. He’s got all the buzz, as the hot-headed deputy dragged kicking and screaming to a kind of redemption. I thought his co-star, Woody Harrelson (also nominated) was just as good in this category. But I’d have liked to see a shout-out for Doug Jones in The Shape of Water. A longtime Del Toro co-conspirator (he played Fauno/Pan in Pan’s Labyrinth, and was recently seen as the impossibly elongated alien First Officer Saru in Star Trek: Discovery), Jones’ poignant Amphibian Man romancing Sally Hawkins gives the movie its heart and soul.

MISCELLANEOUS Here’s where those new Academy members may prevail with an Original Screenplay award to Peele for Get Out, beating out Del Toro and McDonagh (although the latter has scored some pre-Oscar awards for Three Billboards). Veteran director James Ivory looks poised to win the Adapted Screenplay award for Call Me By Your Name.

Expect Blade Runner 2049 to score gold for Cinematography, while Phantom Thread wins in the Costume department. Meanwhile, The Shape of Water should swim to victory for its atmospheric sea-green Production Design, and its expressive Original Score by Alexandre Desplat.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

FEBRUARY 28-MARCH 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

DEATH WISH Once upon a time, director Eli Roth made an interesting and fairly subversive horror film called Hostel. But a lot of people—most of whom never even saw it—wrongly wrote it off as “torture porn.” Roth seems to have never gotten over it, as he hasn’t made anything approaching a good movie since. Even worse, he increasingly whines about “social justice warriors” attacking his films, suggesting he’s taking that hard Michael Crichton/ Frank Miller/David Mamet fall into nonsensical right-wing paranoia.

Gee, wonder if that has anything to do with why he’s remaking 1974’s nonsensical right-wing paranoia film Death Wish. Bruce Willis on a vigilante shooting spree? Sending a message that murder is the only way to deal with criminals, at a time when crime is at historic lows, and gun mass-murder is at an alltime high? Can anyone say “worst idea ever?” Co-starring Elisabeth Shue, Dean Norris and Vincent D’Onofrio. (R) 107 minutes. (SP)

48

A FANTASTIC WOMAN Daniela Vega stars as a transsexual nightclub singer whose much older boyfriend suddenly dies—just as he’s left his family for her—throwing her plans for the future into chaos.

Especially after she becomes a suspect in his death. Written and directed by Sebasatian Lelio. Costarring Francisco Reyes and Luis Gnecco. (R) 104 minutes. (SP) NOSTALGIA An all-star cast supports a mosaic of linked stories exploring love and loss and our relationship to the things that make our memories.

Starring Jon Hamm, Ellen Burstyn, Catherine Keener, Bruce Dern, John Ortiz, Nick Offerman and Patton Oswalt. Directed by Mark Pellington.

(R) 114 minutes. (SP) RED SPARROW Jennifer Lawrence is a one-woman killing force! I don’t know if that’s true, but that’s definitely the plot of this spy movie.

Raised by Russians to stick it to the Capitalist Running Dogs, she meets CIA agent Joel Edgerton and starts re-thinking her values. Joel

Edgerton, really, comrade? Did you not see The Gift? That guy is totally creepy! (R) 139 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 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) 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 co-star. (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.

GAME NIGHT From the comedy geniuses who brought you Horrible Bosses comes a slightly less 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. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Starring Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Jesse Plemons and Michael C. Hall. (R) 100 minutes. (SP) I, TONYA Craig Gillespie directs this often raucously entertaining fact-based fiction film that purports to be a documentary detailing the tragi-comic incidents ofTonya Harding's early life and public career. The story is told from a variety of perspectives as the plucky competitor who was the first American woman ever to stick a triple axel in competition evolves into the most reviled woman in the world. Along the way, they generate a surprising amount of sympathy for the human being at the center of all that notoriety. Starring Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, and Caitlin Carver.

(R) 119 minutes. (LJ) 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 middleaged mother with a spectacularly vulgar mouth, a fearless takeno-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. 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 writer-directors 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)

Ian is returning from a book tour to visit his elderly father John, a renowned Dickens scholar, and most recently, a grief stricken widower. Ian is alarmed to find John confused and disoriented. He has forgotten Ian was coming, and in fact, seems anxious to get rid of him, not withstanding Ian’s 3 hour drive from Manhattan. Has John been having little strokes? Has he deteriorated in the six weeks Ian has been gone? And yet, the house seems strangely tidy. And John is wearing a new tie. This serious comedy by Kate Hawley (COMPLICATIONS FROM A FALL) is an exploration of love and renewal.

Bold Beach Vibes Cat & Cloud’s chill Eastside ambiance pairs well with killer coffee and pastries BY CHRISTINA WATERS

W

alking into the Eastside’s compact Cat & Cloud, the energy hits immediately. Fronting Portola Drive, its back door facing the ocean, the coffeehouse exudes the sort of buzz that comes not just from caffeine but from big-shouldered hospitality, as well. The brainchild of former Verve pioneers Jared Truby and Chris Baca, Cat & Cloud holds down its Pleasure Point territory with easy charm and killer coffee. I was welcomed the minute I walked in, surveyed the landscape of Companion Bakeshop pastries, and ordered the

house medium roast ($2.75), served up in a huge logo mug. From my seat at the laminated faux surfboard counter I could watch Truby finesse breakfast toasts, some slathered with avocado, others with cream cheese and infant sprouts.

“I do it all,” he jokes. “Morning to evening.” But of course he is exaggerating, since his partners were also working the espresso machines without stopping.

The atmosphere is physical, the appearance of this clean well-lighted space is filled with air and sunshine.

A steady stream of neighbors arrive as I watched the action. It’s hard to

resist the outrageous flavor (butter and caramelized sugar) and texture (chewy interior topped with a featherlight embrace of paper-thin, crispness) of the mighty Companion Bakeshop Kouign Amann ($4.50).

I, for one, do not resist it, but cave every time I’m within reach of this dense pastry gem.

As the population in Santa Cruz has thickened, so has the traffic— thus creating little neighborhood mini-towns, from the Westside to the Eastside. And each of these little regions keeps its residents well stocked in coffee shops, cafes and cocktails. The resourceful

Cat & Cloud amplifies its clientele by partnering its excellent freshroasted coffees with the signature pastries from Companion Bakeshop (this alliance also powers C&C’s downtown station in the Abbott Square Market). As Verve multiplied its appeal by stocking Manresa’s outstanding scones, cakes and croissants, so Cat & Cloud offers the addictive morning treats from a top bakery. A value-added inspiration!

Music is spot-on, bouncy pop-rock that pleases without getting in the way. The vibe was perfect, neither too hipster-hip, nor too understated.

A bright, clean space seemingly free of “attitude” (i.e., no one feels excluded or not hip enough to enter). Even though the parking situation is a bit of a challenge— there’s a small lot tucked behind the store, otherwise you’re on your own on the locals-only beach community backstreets—I was assured that the parking issue is “being worked on.”

How was the coffee? In a word, full-bodied and delicious. Robust with a bittersweet center of Earth and a caramel finish, thanks for asking. Cat & Cloud’s close neighbors include other Pleasure Point coffee emporia that are busy redefining the surfing quartier— Verve, Chill Out, Coffeetopia, for example. But there are enough coffee lovers to go around, and clearly this vivacious pitstop for coffee and pastries has found its clientele. Open 6 a.m.-6 p.m. daily.

3600 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz.

APPETIZER OF THE WEEK

The brilliant little Pork Belly “Snack” ($8) at Bantam, in which a feisty square of pork belly (imagine a piece of meaty bacon expanded in four dimensions!) is joined by a small pillow of pureed sweet potato and a colorful side of pickled carrots, cauliflower and other crunchy items. No, seriously, this fork-tender flavor delivery system held up throughout one of the house designer martinis ($9)! Get there early—like when it opens at 5 p.m.— while bar seating is available and the noise level not excessive.

Open 5-9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and until 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

t’s been a busy week—but then, isn’t every week busy? You want good, healthy food, but you don’t have the time to prepare it yourself, and you don’t feel like going out to eat every night. One solution is a meal delivery service.

Though there’s plenty of popular national services, locals can look up Golden Roots Kitchen and get a taste of Santa Cruz in their meals. The service area includes Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Bonny Doon, and as far south as Aptos. Founder Melanie Geist tells us more.

How does Golden Roots Kitchen work?

MELANIE GEIST: Each week we offer a variety of dishes comprised of nine different options. Customers can choose a package, or order à la carte.

You can choose pick-up or delivery on Tuesdays. We strive to create dishes that are flavor-driven and thoughtfully prepared, keeping both our clients’ health as well as the environment in mind. We offer organic meals which are sustainably packaged in reusable glass jars, as well as compostable and recyclable materials. We are not

content to put a recipe on the menu that does not really excite us.

How is it different than other meal delivery services?

The main difference between us and them is you don’t have to prepare the meals. Everything is fully prepared with Golden Roots. But the other big difference is the preparation methods.

We take all this time and care to take the additional initial steps. There’s no way that those things can be done in the meal kit services because it’s a several-day production to get food ready just to be cooked so that the nutrients are ready for consumption. I think having a varied menu keeps it a little more interesting. I think some of the meal kit services, the meals start to look the same. We also use a lot of herbs and earthy spices which helps in the nutrient density and digestion components, but also makes the food really flavorful and interesting. I think that a lot of the services, the food is a little more simple. Simple can be great.

But we aim for the exciting. goldenrootskitchen.com, 471-7787.

ou get a big bang for your buck with Mount Eden’s 2015 Chardonnay. Full, lush tropical fruit dominates this wine’s aromas and flavors, and it is a premier example of Central Coast Chardonnay. Jeffrey Patterson, a much-respected winemaker round these parts, has been at the helm of Mount Eden since the early ’80s, and he continues to turn out excellent wines.

Grapes are harvested from Wolff Vineyard in the bucolic Edna Valley near San Luis Obispo— an ideal grape-growing region resulting in the best possible fruit.

This is the 31st year that Mount Eden has been making premier Chardonnay from Edna Valley, receiving many awards along the way. The 2015 Chard won 90 points from Wine Enthusiast magazine and 88 points from Wine Spectator.

This reasonably priced Mount Eden Edna Valley 2015 Chardonnay can be found in

stores all over for about $20.

Barrel-fermented and aged on the lees (“lees” refers to deposits of dead yeast) for 10 months, Mount Eden gives the same care to these barrels as they give to their more expensive estate wines.

Mount Eden says that 2015 was another drought-influenced year “with the crop being miniscule and the flavors magnified,” and the result is a nose of earthy complexity with notes of white flowers and guava. Rich and subtle on the palate, it’s enhanced with flavors of lemon and toasty oak.

Mount Eden does not have a tasting room, but you can make an appointment for an “intimate tour” of the original upper wine cellar and learn the history of the winery.

Note: It’s at 2,000 feet and located up a two-mile private road. No tasting is offered on the tour.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES FESTIVALS UNDER THE FULL MOON

We have many festivals again this week, all occurring on Thursday. Chinese New Year, Full Moon, Purim, Holi. Chinese New Year always ends at full moon with the hanging and releasing of lighted lanterns. It is a Festival of Lanterns and Light.

The festival of Purim celebrates the freedom of the Hebrew people from the cruel Haman (a magistrate) seeking to destroy them. Esther, the Queen of Persia, who was secretly Jewish, saved her people from death. It’s a joyful festival and one bakes the sweet cookie, Hamantaschen (Haman’s pockets), to celebrate this festival.

Holi is the Hindu Spring Festival of Colors.

Bonfires are lit the night before warding off evil. Holi is the most colorful festival in the world. It is also a Festival of Love – of Radha for Krishna (the blue-colored God). It is a Spring

festival with singing, dancing, carnivals, food and drink (Bhang, a drink made of cannabis leaves). Holi signifies good over evil, ridding oneself of past errors, ending conflicts through rapprochement (returning to each other). It is a day of forgiveness, including debts.

Holi also marks the beginning of New Year.

Thursday is the Pisces solar festival (11.23 degrees) under a full moon. The Soul’s meditative seed thought for Pisces, recited with the Great Invocation, is “I leave the Father’s house and turning back, I save.” In Pisces under Soul direction, we are here to help “... close the door to evil and restore the Plan on Earth.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

In the next days, weeks and months it’s important to see yourself as resourceful and valuable. Perhaps this is difficult. Make lists of all your gifts, abilities, talents, good deeds, thoughts, ideas and plans. And then all your blessings. In these your value appears. Place these lists on doors, walls and mirrors. Read and review daily. These offer you a new self identity as server for humanity—the task for all Aries in the Aquarian Age.

You will assess your relationships in terms of their value.

Not value as in money but virtues. Simultaneously, assess the values (virtues) you offer others. Is there more Goodwill you can offer others? Goodwill creates Right Relations.

Allow only the goodness of yourself to be radiated outward.

Goodness is an inner purity. What goodness do you offer others? Remember true love isn’t a feeling. It’s a choice.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Things hide away, especially you. Or you find someone else in hiding and join them. Someone close is quite mysterious and valuable to you. They’re knowledgeable and have the skills needed for your next creative endeavor for humanity’s future. Resources are hidden away too, though still available. Call these resources forth in prayers and mantras and sacred words, while tending to practical daily tasks. Eliminate (give away) as much as possible.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Ponder upon how you want to be seen, known and recognized in the world and how you want to help build the new culture and civilization. You are to nurture the new era at its foundational stages. Begin your garden soon, have a worm bin, create biodynamic soil, use organic seeds.

Parsley and cilantro are most important for you this year.

Teach everyone what you learn. Cancer needs to move from feeding the world to helping the world feed itself.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 The Earth (soil, trees, plants growing) is very important for your well-being. Make sure you’re out and about in the Sun at dawn and dusk, out with the devas and in nature—the most balanced kingdom. The Sun’s radiations strengthen your heart and mind, refocuses your enthusiasm (“filled with God”), rebalances your entire system. When we are balanced and in rhythm, practical health emerges. Where is your garden and who are your companions?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You may struggle mentally to maintain equilibrium between what you desire and what is actually possible.

It’s good to study the subject of sacrifice—the First Law of the Soul. At the center of sacrifice is Love. Love and sacrifice are the same. We are on Earth because we sacrificed (chose) to be here. You may feel you’ve become the warrior. Spiritual warriors are practical, poised and always triumphant.

Tend daily to all things small and necessary, offering your deepest attention. Observe habits, agendas, how you work in all environments. Observe how others work, too. Care and tend to yourself. Evolution occurs step by step. We begin with tending to our physical, emotional and mental bodies. Then we progress to things spiritual. Each day “brood” upon the service needed for the coming day. Ask for Soul direction. The personality then becomes calmed.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 A long held creative dream seems to be all around you.

You’re redefining, reassessing and reaffirming the importance of your life’s work. In the meantime, balance yourself with amusement and play, much needed and much missed recently. Acknowledge that your creative work reflects who you are now, and part of who you will become later. All parts of you are aligning in a close spiritual unity. You are building a Temple of the Soul.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You see the need for nourishment of the self and of others.

One source of nourishment is financial security. Another is the beauty, design and organization of your home and gardens and outdoor rooms. Make sure as you tend to your home that you create a practical and private workspace for yourself. Your imagination, vision and creativeness are most important for your well-being, your home and family at this time. Create over time, the garden of your dreams.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Times seems to have sped up. At times, we can feel that life is a bit wild and out of control. We are entering the Aquarian Age, ruled by Uranus, god of Lightning. New things, in coming times, will appear. A new balance is attempting to come forth in the world. Know that you are a returned “angel” come to help humanity steer itself downstream in a new Noah’s Ark. You are to identify, work with and bring in the new culture and civilization.

What part do you want to play? Think deeply on this.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Life becomes more accelerated, yet more-subtle, at times feeling a bit out of focus and very different. In these difficult financial times, it’s good to tithe (give) to those in need—St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital; Catholic Charities; Doctors Without Borders; UNESCO. These are difficult financial times.

The spiritual law is that what we give is returned 10-fold so we can give and give again. When we serve others, our life is spiritually cared for—the third Law of the Soul is Service.

Hang lanterns everywhere. Then leave them there.

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!
