OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE The unfortunate truth is that some pioneers don’t get the recognition they deserve until they’re gone. That’s because it’s not until then that we realize how truly unique and significant they were. Especially in the arts, something that’s there year after year can make a big splash initially, and then start to be taken for granted over time—even though what it’s doing, and what it stands for, remains as important as ever. I’ve felt that way about a lot of music venues Santa Cruz has lost over the years, from Palookaville to Live Soup to What is Art? and on and on. And I certainly felt that way when we lost the Pacific Rim Film Festival. And I’m feeling it yet again

TALE OF TWO TRACKS
4
Last week’s letter (GT, 9/12) bemoaning the loss of the Santa Cruz-San Jose rail corridor has little relevance to the current rail vs. trail controversy. The over-the-hill route, once discontinued, did fall into private hands, but that fate will never befall the Watsonville-Davenport line. It will always be a transportation corridor. Sensible people want to see the tracks paved over and put to use as a wide, multi-use trail now. If, in the coming decades, a train is determined to be the best viable option, then the county voters (not the RTC), can decide to build a modern, low emission, light-rail system. Railbanking does work. Let’s move forward with that model. JENNIFER HARRIS-ANDERSON | SANTA CRUZ
TRAINS OF FUTURE/PAST In his letter urging the preservation of the existing Santa Cruz-Watsonville rail line, Richard Hallett seems to be mistaking the future for the past. The only train using the current tracks that his great-grandson is likely to ride would be a nostalgic tourist attraction, not a viable passenger line. The
with the end of the FashionArt show, a one-of-a-kind Santa Cruz event that regularly blew me away with its outrageous re-invention of the runway fashion show. Luckily, you sometimes get a second chance to enjoy a one-of-akind phenomenon, and that’s what happening at Pivot’s Hall of Fashion runway show this weekend. Take a look at Wallace Baine’s cover story about the show, and you’ll see Rose Sellery and Tina Brown, who had both partnered with Angelo Grova on FashionArt for years, are carrying on its tradition. And speaking of second acts on the local arts scene, most Santa Cruz music fans probably know that former Palookaville founder Michael Horne continues to bring music here. His big music festival Mountain Sol is back Sept. 21-23 up at Roaring Camp (see page 34). Here’s to Santa Cruz’s artistic spirit—it can’t be kept down.

HAMMERING HOME
LOOKING SHARP
A report released last week highlights how Santa Cruz County’s affordable housing needs have grown, amounting to a shortfall of 11,873 affordable homes. Key reasons include the axing of state housing money, low wages, and rapidly rising rents, according to the findings, which were compiled by the California Housing Partnership Corporation and the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. The report expressed optimism that voters will consider a local housing bond, Measure H, this fall. It needs a two-thirds majority to pass.
Santa Cruz County has received the Program Excellence Award from the North American Hazardous Materials Management Association for its groundbreaking drug and sharps takeback program. The first of its kind in the nation, the program allows residents to bring used needles and leftover medicines to any pharmacy for free and safe disposal. Adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2015, it was the first in the U.S. to require pharmacies to accept such materials.

future of mass transit is mostly modular, ride-sharing and self-driving vehicles. Any trains included in that picture (light rail, high-speed rail, maglevs, perhaps even hyperloops) will use a far different technology, calling for entirely different tracks than the ones we use today. MORDECAI SHAPIRO | SANTA CRUZ
SMACKS OF ENTITLEMENT Re: “Control Groups” (GT, 9/5): My wife and I own two homes in Santa Cruz. She took out student loans and put herself through college and then law school. She then worked 60-70 hours a week for 10 years at a law firm in Santa Clara. I did a five-year apprenticeship in the electrician’s union and drove to work in Santa Clara getting up at 5 a.m. for 17 years. We saved and bought our homes on our own. We pay $23,000 a year in property taxes. Our rental house costs $3,500 a month, we rent it for $2,600 a month. A loss of $900 a month. To think that we can’t raise that rent or use that property as we wish smacks of entitlement and frankly is communist. If someone wants to buy and live in a house in Santa Cruz, all they have to do is put in the years of hard work to make it happen. JONATHAN GUY | SANTA CRUZ

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY September 19 ARIES Mar21–Apr19
LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
“The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.” So says poet and philosopher Mark Nepo in The Book of Awakening. Now I’m transmitting his observation to you. I hope it will motivate you to expend less energy fantasizing about what you want and devote more energy to becoming the beautiful, useful, irresistible presence that will attract what you want. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make plans to produce very specific blossoms.
As he stepped up to use an ATM in a supermarket, a Scottish man named Colin Banks found £30 (about $40 U.S.) that the person who used the machine before him had inadvertently neglected to take. But rather than pocketing it, Banks turned it into a staff member, and eventually the cash was reunited with its proper owner. Shortly after performing his good deed, Bank won £50,000 (about $64,500 U.S.) in a game of chance. It was instant karma in dramatic action—the positive kind! My analysis of the astrological omens reveals that you’re more likely than usual to benefit from expeditious cosmic justice like that. That’s why I suggest you intensify your commitment to doing good deeds.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 Budi Waseso, the former head of the Indonesian government’s anti-narcotics division, had a radical plan to prevent escapes by people convicted of drug-related crimes. He sought to build detention centers that would be surrounded by moats filled with crocodiles and piranhas. But his replacement, Heru Winarko, has a different approach. He wants addicts and dealers to receive counseling in comfortable rehabilitation centers. I hope that in the coming weeks, as you deal with weaknesses, flaws, and sins—both your own and others’—you’ll opt for an approach more like Winarko’s than Waseso’s.
GEMINI May21–June20 In one sense, a “patron saint” is a Catholic saint who is a heavenly advocate for a person, group, activity, thing, or place. St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, for instance. St. Francis of Assisi is the guardian of animal welfare and St. Kentigern is the protector against verbal abusers. “Patron saint” may also be invoked poetically to refer to a person who serves as a special guide or influence. For example, in one of his short stories, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to a veteran nurse as “the patron saint of young physicians.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to fantasize about persons, groups, activities, things, or places for whom you might be the patron saint. To spur your imagination, here are some appropriate possibilities. You could be the patron saint of the breeze at dawn; of freshly picked figs; of singing humorous love songs in the sunlight; of unpredictable romantic adventures; of life-changing epiphanies while hiking in nature; of soul-stirring music.
SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
As you dive down into your soul’s depths in quest for renewal, remember this testimony from poet Scherezade Siobhan: “I want to dig out what is ancient in me, the mistaken-for-monster . . . and let it teach me how to be unafraid again.” Are you brave and brazen enough to do that yourself? It’s an excellent time to douse your fear by drawing wild power from the primal sources of your life. To earn the right to soar through the heights in November and December, delve as deep as you can in the coming weeks.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 According to author Elizabeth Gilbert, here’s “the central question upon which all creative living hinges: do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” When I read that thought, my first response was, why are the treasures hidden? Shouldn’t they be completely obvious? My second response was, why do you need courage to bring forth the treasures? Shouldn’t that be the easiest and most enjoyable task imaginable? Everything you just read is a perfect riddle for you to contemplate during the next 14 months, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19
In August 1933, author Virginia Woolf wrote a critical note to her friend, the composer Ethel Smyth, lamenting her lack of emotional subtlety. “For you,” Woolf told Smyth, “either things are black, or they’re white; either they’re sobs or shouts—whereas, I always glide from semi-tone to semi-tone.” In the coming weeks, fellow Cancerian, you may encounter people who act like Smyth. But it will be your sacred duty, both to yourself and to life, to remain loyal and faithful to the rich complexity of your feelings.
A blogger named Sage Grace offers her readers a list of “cool things to call me besides cute.” They include dazzling, alluring, sublime, magnificent, and exquisite. Is it OK if I apply those same adjectives to you, Capricorn? I’d like to add a few more, as well: resplendent, delightful, intriguing, magnetic, and incandescent. I hope that in response you don’t flinch with humility or protest that you’re not worthy of such glorification. According to my astrological analysis, now is one of those times when you deserve extra appreciation for your idiosyncratic appeal and intelligence. Tell your allies and loved ones that I said so. Inform them, too, that giving you this treatment could help mobilize one of your half-asleep potentials.
LE0 Jul23–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18
“People think of education as something they can finish,” said writer and scientist Isaac Asimov, who wrote or edited over 500 books. His point was that we’re wise to be excited about learning new lessons as long as we’re on this earth. To cultivate maximum vitality, we should always be engaged in the processes of absorbing new knowledge and mastering new skills and deepening our understanding. Does that sound appealing to you, Leo? I hope so, especially in the coming weeks, when you will have an enhanced ability to see the big picture of your future needs for education.
Many educated Americans and Europeans think of reincarnation as a loony delusion, even though it’s a cornerstone of spiritual belief for over 1.5 billion earthlings. I myself regard it as a hypothesis worthy of intelligent consideration, although I’d need hundreds of pages to explain my version of it. However you imagine it, Aquarius, you now have extra access to knowledge and skills and proclivities you possessed in what we might refer to as your “past lives”—especially in those past lives in which you were an explorer, maverick, outlaw, or pioneer. I bet you’ll feel freer and more experimental than usual during the next four weeks.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Virgo businessman Warren Buffett is among the top five wealthiest people on the planet. In an average year, his company Berkshire Hathaway adds $36 billion to its already swollen coffers. But in 2017, thanks to the revision of the U.S. tax code by President Trump and his buddies, Buffet earned $65 billion—an increase of 83 percent over his usual haul. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re entering a year-long phase when your financial chances could have a mild resemblance to Buffet’s 2017. I’m not predicting your earnings will increase by 83 percent. But 15 percent isn’t unreasonable. So start planning how you’ll do it!
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “When the winds of change blow,” says a Chinese proverb, “some people build walls while others build windmills.” Since the light breezes of change may soon evolve into brisk gusts of change in your vicinity, I wanted to bring this thought to your attention. Will you be more inclined to respond by constructing walls or windmills? I don’t think it would be foolish for you to favor the walls, but in the long run I suspect that windmills would serve you better.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: SECOND STORY CLOSURE As sad as the closing of this place is, what’s even more sad—pathetic even—is the why. Sounds like the number-one reason is that Medi-Cal won’t reimburse for peer-run beds. That’s a state government problem. And the county doesn’t want a long-term commitment to fund? Are we to assume they are not also paying $$$ for that locked inpatient psych ward? Looks to me more like the Big Boys want to shut down the better-results competition, in favor of the fascist, coerced,
forced-drugging psychiatric model. And Riera needs to decide if he’s the director of “mental health” or “behavioral health.” — BILL BRADFORD
RE: SANTA CRUZ INDIVISIBLE Why don’t people deal with who they have to elect rather than traveling to other districts? We know how much they would like outsiders coming here to try to sway our elections. But, being typical hypocrites, they will go and try to “convert” people who don’t live here. — ROBYN MARX

SIS IS LOVE Little Reba is surviving neuroblastoma with support from her big sister Zoe, and Jacob’s Heart. PHOTO: AMANDA LOCK
Heart of the Matter Jacob’s Heart celebrates 20 years of helping families battling childhood cancer BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE through one of life’s most difficult imaginable situations.” To say Jacob’s Heart has accomplished a lot in 20 years would be an understatement. September is nationally recognized as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month because of Jacob’s Heart—and has been since 1999, when the organization originally advocated for its distinction to then-Gov. Gray Davis. That alone is incredible for a nonprofit that began as one woman’s dream, but Jacob’s Heart continues to have a huge impact in the lives of local families. In the last year alone, Jacob’s Heart has provided more than $360,000 in financial assistance to those families, including rent, bills, food, fuel, and funeral expenses. It has also donated more than 4,000 bags of nutritious groceries to homes and hospitals,
nearly 1,000 hospital visits for children and families, and more than 2,500 hours of emotional support, including family and individual counseling. Butterworth says she is particularly proud of creating an organization that has meant so much to children with cancer and their families. Stated perfectly by one child named Alex, who has since passed on: “Jacob’s Heart will never go away, because that would mean that people didn’t care about kids with cancer … and people will always care. If there wasn’t a Jacob’s Heart, that would mean there was no more love in the world, and that’s impossible because a world without love is impossible.” To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Jacob’s Heart is planning a “Kidrageous” event on Sept. 23 from

n a February day in 1998, local Lori Butterworth’s life changed forever. Her friend’s son, Jacob, was diagnosed with a deadly form of childhood cancer. “I called around, and there was no support available specifically for children, and that angered me,” says Butterworth. She took matters into her own hands, and started a grassrootsstyle nonprofit right then and there. Twenty years later, that nonprofit organization, named Jacob’s Heart, is still beating strongly. “Our mission statement is to improve the quality of life for children with cancer, and support their families in the challenges they face,” says Butterworth, who is the group’s executive director. “Our community should be really proud to have such an organization that helps families
noon-5 p.m. at the Watsonville City Plaza. Butterworth says that one main feature of the event is honoring those children that have passed away by showcasing their favorite activities and hobbies for everyone to enjoy. There are also activities that teach compassionate action—which Butterworth calls a main tenet of the organization—such as decorating and filling grocery bags that will go to families dealing with the disease. “The event also raises funds, raises childhood cancer awareness, and reunites families that have been helped,” says Butterworth. “It creates a community net, and helps achieve the vision of the organization.” One local issue that Jacob’s Heart has taken on is the disturbing frequency of childhood cancer here. “The rate of childhood cancer in Santa Cruz County is still higher than the state average,” says Butterworth, citing the most recent available data that shows our county has 19.2 cases per 100,000 compared to the state average of 17.4. There is also an ethnic disparity that Jacob’s Heart hopes to have a positive impact upon. “White children have the highest cancer rates among all ethnic groups, but Latino children are more likely to die from it,” says Butterworth. “This is something we’re definitely working on.” Looking forward, Butterworth hopes that one day Jacob’s Heart will go away—when it’s no longer needed, because childhood cancer has ceased to exist. “We envision a community in which every child with a serious illness has a strongly informed family able to fully participate in their care,” says Butterworth about Jacob’s Heart’s long-term mission. “We inspire compassionate action within our local community to create a safety net to meet the unique needs of every child.” The Harden Foundation is matching funds during September, in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. “Every dollar is matched by a measure of love,” says Butterworth. “Until there’s a cure, Jacob’s Heart will be here.”

NEWS FELTON RISING A redwood enclave sees new growth downtown
SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY LAUREN HEPLER

Walk into one of the growing number of quaint stores in downtown Felton selling local dahlias, crystals or Western-style clothing, and you’re likely to hear a common refrain about how that store came to be: “It’s a long story.” Candi Lee is one of the people who’ll tell you that. She has watched Felton evolve from a quirky mountain hideaway to an extended suburb of the Bay Area from her perch at the top of the oneroad downtown. Since 2010, she’s sold crystals, jewelry and other mystical wares at the shop she and her husband started, Mountain Spirit, after years of selling handmade goods on the road. “I didn’t think we’d get it,” Lee says of the prime ground-floor storefront in a former B&B at the corner of Highway 9 and Felton Empire Road. “We had dreadlocks down to the ground.” In the last few years, a small wave of new shops have opened on the main drag of the town, steeped in a unique blend of coastal and redwood lore. The “Peace on Earth” window decals and occasional house with horses in the front yard are still easy to spot, but added to the mix are new offerings like clothing and accessories boutique Tomboy Outpost, flower shop Wild Iris, True North Tattoo, and soon-to-open eco goods purveyor the Source Zero. “Felton has been so funny,” says Summer Duppen, a 20-year Felton resident who opened her second store, Tomboy Outpost, after five years running the original Tomboy boutique in Santa Cruz next to the Rio Theatre. “There are so few commercial spaces that it’s like gold when you find a shop. You would have to wait years, like I did.” It took Duppen two years to find her 300-square-foot shop on Highway 9 across from the former New Leaf Market—now operated as Wild Roots. Still, rents at a going rate about half that of neighboring Santa Cruz can make the wait worthwhile. Even though Duppen’s shops are just seven miles apart, she says they often feel like they’re in two different worlds. “I have so many mountain mama girlfriends saying, ‘Honey I’m sure your store is amazing, but I’m not going >16

Scooter Wars
Santa Cruz is the latest battleground in a national debate about the future of transportation BY LAUREN HEPLER
L
ast Thursday, Santa Cruz residents woke up with a new form of on-demand transportation available with a few clicks of a smartphone. Black and white, two-wheeled electric scooters sporting the logo of Santa Monica startup Bird appeared on corners around town overnight. The catch: Santa Cruz officials say they never gave the company the green light to launch, setting off a chain of events that is the latest skirmish in a broader battle between
fast-moving transportation startups and local governments struggling to address evolving mobility demands. “Bird hasn’t contacted anyone at the city about their program, which is apparently consistent with their business model,” City Spokesperson Eileen Cross told GT in an email Thursday morning. The startup, which has raised $415 million from venture capitalists to bring its on-demand scooters to the masses, declined to answer questions about how its electric scooters were
launched locally. A spokesperson told GT in a statement last Thursday that, “Santa Cruz is a forward-thinking city that shares Bird’s vision of getting cars off the road to reduce traffic and carbon emissions.” Though Bird and competitors like Uber-owned Lime have attracted controversy about safety and neighborhood nuisances in other cities, the statement adds that Bird hoped to “work closely with city leaders so that we can help the entire community more >14

easily get around town.” But the city still wasn’t buying it. A press release from the city manager’s office said that a cease-and-desist letter was sent to Bird the same day the scooters were set free in town, giving the startup until midnight on Sept. 13 to remove the devices from all public sidewalks or rights-of-way in the city. The move, the statement continued, followed steps taken in San Diego, Boston, Nashville and Fresno to issue similar letters, restrict scooter use or ban the devices. When scooters were still on Santa Cruz streets after the deadline last week, the city followed through on a promise to take action. “The city is impounding the scooters,” City Spokesperson Joyce Blaschke told GT on Monday, though it is not clear when or how Bird might reclaim the devices. “They’re following the cease-and-desist letter.” There may still be a happy ending for scooter enthusiasts. Bird told GT on Monday that the startup expects to meet with city officials this week. “Bird hopes to work closely with city officials to develop a framework that works for everyone so that the Santa Cruz community can have access to our fun and affordable transportation option,” a spokesperson said in an email. “We
are in touch with city officials and we look forward to meeting with them this week.” As for when residents might see scooters back on the street, City Manager Martín Bernal made it clear in a statement last week that companies would be wise to adhere to local business laws if they want to stay up and running. “Bird’s approach is dismissive of the hundreds of businesses in Santa Cruz who play by the rules, receive proper permits and licenses, and operate legally,” Bernal said.
APP ADVERSARIES The model of insta-renting electric devices to get from Point A to Point B will be familiar to local residents who have used the bright orange, Uberowned Jump bikes available in Santa Cruz since earlier this year. Similarly, the Bird app works by allowing users to upload a credit card, use a map to locate nearby scooters, then take a picture of a code on the device to ride for $1, plus 20 cents per minute. When the scooters first appeared last week, many were neatly arranged in small clusters around midtown and near downtown Santa Cruz. At least three dozen scooters spread from the Westside to Seabright appeared ready to ride on the Bird mobile app. By Monday, the app was still active
in Santa Cruz, but showed only a handful of available scooters across town. Bird declined to comment on its future plans in the city. Like ridesharing providers Uber and Lyft before them, e-scooter companies are an example of the often-thorny relationship between fast-moving startups and local governments. The friction is especially obvious with transportation in California, where many environmental and social groups are already campaigning for more alternatives to notoriously carcentric urban sprawl. Trouble tends to arise with e-scooters in particular because of the devices’ top speeds of around 20 miles per hour, sometimes making it dicey to share bike lanes or sidewalks, and providers’ reluctance to police their users. In addition to a reputation for asking cities for forgiveness rather than permission to launch scooter-sharing systems, Bird and its competitors have argued that they shouldn’t be responsible for users who ride recklessly or leave devices in the public right of way. In San Jose, where Bird and Lime have been operating e-scooter sharing systems since spring, officials say they don’t have enough cops for regular traffic stops, let alone scooter incidents. Instead >18 of banning the devices, the
NEWS BRIEFS UCSC’S BLUMENTHAL TO RETIRE Chancellor George Blumenthal announced yesterday that he plans to retire following the end of the coming academic year. Student enrollment has more than doubled since he was named chancellor—the 10th in the school’s history—in 2007, and Blumenthal points to an increase of underrepresented minority groups in the student body, improvement in towngown relations, renovation and expansion of Porter and Merrill colleges, and the opening of
UCSC Extension in Silicon Valley as some of his proudest accomplishments over the last 12 years. “This university is filled with people eager to make a difference, change paradigms, and challenge conventional ways of doing things,” Blumenthal said in a statement. “That is what makes UC Santa Cruz the dynamic place it is and always has been. It has been thrilling be a part of that mission since 1972, when I arrived on campus as an assistant professor, eager to help shape the future of a
still-young university.” Blumenthal’s background in astrophysics and astronomy is something that he’s not quite ready to leave behind. He will stay on campus after his retirement; teaching, writing and maybe even offering some words of wisdom to his successor. “Now it feels like the right time to pass the reins,” he said. “Our new Strategic Academic Plan is in place, and I sense the same energy on campus that I felt when I first arrived—a feeling that our future is limitless, and that we are on the precipice of remarkable
change. I believe a new campus leader should help chart our next steps.” His resignation announcement comes as the university preps development projects that have proven to be controversial both on campus and off, including the recently modified Student Housing West Project proposal, which will provide an additional 3,072 student beds on campus. The search for a new UCSC Chancellor will begin immediately and will be spearheaded by UC President Janet Napolitano’s office. GEORGIA JOHNSON

Santa Cruz will have a $5.0 million deficit next year, and $20 million by 2023.
Measure M does NOTHING to address our homeless problem.

FELTON RISING <12 to town,’” Duppen says. “In Santa Cruz it’s the same.” Highway 9-to-Silicon Valley commuters have long bolstered San Lorenzo Valley communities like Felton, Bonny Doon and Boulder Creek. In the last decade, locals like Heidi Hart say they’ve seen the number of transplants accelerate dramatically. Hart, who is president and CEO of downtown Felton’s California Dreaming Real Estate, says costs have risen so fast that she now often sees buyers from next door in Santa Cruz outbid by commuters moving from San Jose or Palo Alto. “We have a lot of Bay Area people moving in,” Hart says from her cozy woodpaneled office, where visitors are greeted
by a toy dog. “Everything’s changing.” The median home sale price in Felton hit $660,000 this summer, more than double the $315,000 that local houses were commanding five years earlier, according to the real estate data site Trulia. The trend toward recent growth in unconventional corners of the county is mirrored in communities from Aptos and Watsonville, local development officials say. “It’s not only in the mountains,” says County Economic Development Coordinator Barbara Mason. “Virtually every single community has something going on.” Smaller-scale retail footprints like those in Felton are especially in demand among independent and pop-up retailers, Mason says. Plus, there’s still a certain character to Felton, which this weekend will play host to
jam-band standy the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol music festival. For newer shop owners like Felton resident Molly Kavanaugh, who opened botanical and home goods shop Wild Iris two years ago, offering reliable services like wedding floral arrangements and fresh flower deliveries help round out varied foot traffic from redwood hikers, RV campers and Santa Cruz daytrippers. “There really weren’t too many retail shops,” Kavanaugh says of her patch of Highway 9 just down the block from Tomboy and more utilitarian staples Felton Feed & Pet Supply and True Value Paint & Hardware. Monthly events like Felton’s “Second Saturdays” featuring outdoor music and downtown shopping are also bringing more people to town, she says.
A block away at the Source Zero, which is planning for an October grand opening, workshops on topics like indigo dyeing will complement shopping for zero-waste products such as silk “dental lace,” bamboo sporks and Himalayan salt deodorant. Also downtown is Flynn’s Cabaret, the freshly-painted navy blue building with black trim that until last year housed the uniquely-colorful bar and music venue Don Quixote’s. Through it all, Lee’s spot on the corner has made her an unofficial bridge between the old and new Felton, chatting with curious new neighbors moving to town. “A lot of them come in to buy sage for their new houses,” she says from behind the counter at Mountain Spirit. “Sometimes, I’m afraid to tell them how wonderful it is.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2018
aybe one day, every runway fashion show in New York, Paris and Milan will consist of smart, stylish collections of clothing punctuated by delightfully absurd and grotesque art pieces that happened to be draped on a human body. When that day comes, we’ll all know that the Santa Cruz style of fashion has finally achieved true cultural dominance. If that happens, then surely 2018 will be seen as a pivotal (or, shall we say, Pivotal) year for Santa Cruz fashion. After 12 years, Santa Cruz’s signature fashion event—the runway show FashionART that invented this mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous—has closed up shop, leaving the Civic Auditorium silent and dramatically less colorful for the first September in more than a decade. Into that vacuum roars another outfit of artists and fashion designers known as Pivot: The Art of Fashion, once an offshoot of FashionART that this year will take on the role of Santa Cruz’s alpha cultural force in the world of fashion. On Saturday, Sept. 22—on a weekend that FashionART once owned—Pivot will continue pushing fashion forward with its new runway show called Hall of Fashion in the old Wrigley Building on the Westside of Santa Cruz. 22>

THE WAY WE WALK
Pivot is the brainchild of two energetic Santa Cruz women, artist and curator Rose Sellery and designer Tina Brown. Both women had partnered with artist Angelo Grova to produce the FashionART show for years—Sellery was in fact one of the event’s founders—until in 2015, they decided to spin off with their own event. Unlike FashionART, which presented a more-or-less traditional runway show at the Civic each year, Pivot has been more of a pop-up phenomenon, adapting its show to a variety of different venues— including the Rio Theatre, the R. Blitzer Gallery and Anne and Mark’s Art Party at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose. This time, Pivot, in partnership with the Blitzer, is taking over the main corridor of the Wrigley, the one-time chewing-gum factory that has turned into an eccentric entrepreneurial hub of creative businesses. The unusually wide and open corridor at the Wrigley turns out to be a perfect stage for a runway show, says Brown. “Going back to a more traditional runway, the show will be on the floor, two rows of chairs, the models are right there in front of you,” she says. “They’re really close, it’s really intimate. With the photographers at one end, it’ll feel more like a New York runway event. Then we throw some performance art in there, and that’s where you get your Santa Cruz twist.” If the form of the Pivot show is constantly shifting and evolving, the content of it has been remarkably stable. Pivot and FashionART have for years shared many of the same artists and creators. And this year many of those names—Charlotte Kruk, Tobin W. Keller, Mariclaire McKnight, IB Bayo, the Great Morgani—are returning, along with many of the models, make-up artists, photographers and stylists that have formed the backbone of Santa Cruz’s small but fertile fashion scene. “We still have a real love for what FashionART was,” says Sellery. “It opened so many doors for us, and

now we’re doing a similar thing. But it’s kind of sad to see it go because it was a real institution. And we’ve been part of that.” With a nod to the artistic notions that inspired FashionART, Pivot is also attempting to redesign what a runway show is, pushing beyond the familiar motif of catwalking models mastering the art of sashay. With the wide hallway at the Wrigley, Pivot is toying with ideas of other modes of ambulation—skates, bicycles, rolling platforms. “We can really play with the idea of what’s supposed to be on the runway,” says Brown. “It doesn’t have to always be walking. We’ll
have some surprises.” Pivot will feature many of the familiar and popular styles that emerged from Santa Cruz’s rich fashion scene—Bayo’s vivid African-influenced looks, Keller’s bold prints, Kruk’s cheeky and flirty candy-wrapper dresses and whatever emerges from the constantly churning mind of Morgani. As tradition dictates, Sellery will also be contributing a new piece as an artist (this one involves bubble wrap). But the event will also feature some new names and faces. Among those emerging names is Santa Cruz artist Chris Allen, who

This year at Pivot, he is in the designer slot with nine pieces in one cohesive line he’s calling “Battle Mode.” “Last year was my first year,” says Allen at his home near Pasatiempo. “I had seen it as a spectator many times and thought, ‘Wow, it would be so cool to have something in there. I want to design.’ Things worked out this year where I sort of
had models and time and materials all converge at once.” To the tune of a song called “Riding Into Battle With Her High Heels On,” Allen has fashioned found-object materials into protomartial outfits—if you can imagine skirts made from CalTrans-orange plastic fencing or reel-to-reel magnetic tape or a couple of hundred hotel key cards from the Dream Inn.

<27 intriguing outfits (Rose Sellery created a stir early on with a dress made from animal bones). But it soon folded in collections from designers interested in creating clothes that people actually wear in public. Tina Brown was brought in a few years later to bolster the designer side of the equation. “By the time I came along, the art side of it was so strong, I felt like I have to really bring the designers up to the artists’ level. And that was my goal,” she says. Still, the ambitions of Sellery and Brown for Pivot go beyond runway shows. They are hoping next year to host a textile/design conference to allow some of their artists and designers to teach classes and workshops—perhaps at Cabrillo College, where Sellery worked for many years as curator at the campus art gallery. As to where Pivot goes now that it’s the main engine driving the local fashion industry, neither Sellery or Brown is ready to predict. Maybe they’ll come up with a new venue next year—“It’s a nice challenge for us to play with going into new spaces each time,” says Sellery—or maybe they’ll realize their ambitions of making their runway show only one part of an entire year’s worth of fashion-forward activities and events. “My vision,” says Brown, “is that we’re going into San Francisco. We’re going to Monterey. We’re really going to doing things more than just once a year.”

it’s because I’m young, I don’t know.” A lifelong Santa Cruzan from a family of creatives, Anderson has been painting and drawing his whole life, working his way up to a successful full-time career from

“A lot of my clients have said they need to buy a certain painting. Sometimes they tell me they don’t exactly know why, but feel a connection [to a painting].

in mostly soft blues and greens. But he says it’s all about the layers, and will leave nothing more than proof flecks of red and orange around the canvas sides as he layers different colors, hues and notes across the canvas. “A lot of my clients have said they need to buy a certain painting,” Anderson says. “Sometimes they tell me they don’t exactly know why, but feel a connection [to a painting]. Maybe because humans are mostly water, so it’s an unconscious attraction? A lot of other people say they make them feel calm and comforted.” Anderson is one of 300 Santa Cruz County artists participating in Open Studios next month, and after a long month of sales at the Sausalito Art Festival and Capitola Art and Wine Festival, he’s preparing paintings, prints and illustrations for another big event. “I’ll be showing my work at my parents’ house. There just isn’t enough room in this place to show everything,” he says. “I might have a sale on some old series stuff, sort of an out-with-the-old, in-withthe-new. I have work everywhere, my house, my parents’ house, my closet, it’s time to try and move it along.” Anderson’s work will be on show at Open Studios Oct. 6-7 and 20-21.

his idyllic beachside bungalow. He will work on anywhere from eight to 10 paintings at a time, jumping between series and sometimes revisiting old works in progress. He’s recently started a new, more abstract motion-based series that, unsurprisingly, still closely resembles the ocean and waves. “I’ve always been drawn to realism, I think just because I was good at it growing up,” he says. “There’s a lot of planning involved and experimenting with color and layers, so it’s kind of hard to decide when I’m done. Sometimes I could just fiddle with something forever.” In the first part of his process, Anderson will go out bodysurfing with a waterproof camera. Blacks Beach is just a hop, skip and jump away, so he messes around in the waves there and gets photos to enlarge and use in a painting. He says one of the main reasons he’s drawn to realism is the challenge of copying a photograph. “I have to approach each painting differently, so it keeps it interesting. Also one of the most satisfying parts of being an artist is experiencing people’s reactions to my work,” he says. “It’s always inspiring when people have an emotional connection with my paintings.” Every new painting starts with a thick bright red or orange base color, which comes as a bit of a shock considering Anderson deals

Mess of Emotion
32
Hiss Golden Messenger enjoys toying with a tangle of listener feelings on ‘Hallelujah Anyhow’ BY AARON CARNES
A
strange thing happens when you listen to the new Hiss Golden Messenger record Hallelujah Anyhow. You kind of don’t know how to feel. At least that was my reaction, which I tell leader MC Taylor at the beginning of our interview. He responds with a knowing chuckle, as though this is exactly the reaction he was hoping for. “I’ve always been interested in whether there’s a way to translate that tangle of emotions into a song—a mix of joy and confusion and anger and sorrow all at the same time. That feels real to me,”
Taylor says. “That is something that I like and definitely mean to have in there. Especially with the way that America feels right now.” There is something particularly poignant about the record in these polarizing times, and what often feel like catastrophic moments in history. It’s almost as though Taylor read our collective unconscious despair, and set our confused emotional state to bittersweet indieAmericana music. There’s a whole range of contradictory emotions on the record. Opening track “Jenny of the Roses” has the line: “I’ve never
been afraid of the darkness/It’s just a different kind of light.” He tells me I’m not the first person today to point out that specific line to him. Joy in the midst of despair was a particular area of focus for him on the record, Taylor says. The title of the album basically says it all. “I’m trying to find hope in small corners. We need that joy. We can be horrified about separating children from their parents at the border, and we can also find joy in certain moments in our day-to-day lives. They’re not mutually exclusive,” he says. “Maintaining that level of horror and shock alone is too
exhausting. I think it leads to a normalization of the policies that show up in the news so much these days.” Not that there are any specific references on the album to anything happening in our world. “I have an aversion to feeling like I’m going to compose ‘protest music.’ I had absolutely no compulsion to speak for anybody other than myself and my family,” Taylor says. “My job as an artist is to make something that feels real.” The album is an extension of what he’s been doing since his 2010 masterpiece Bad Debt, a landmark moment for him in terms of expressing contradictions via music. He’s been making music before that for years, and although it was still within the Americana world, it never quite had this depth. Ever since, he’s taken the same approach with each subsequent album. “There’s nothing drastically different about how I went about composing the songs for this record. I think it has to do maybe with the way that this album rubs up against what life feels like in our country right now,” Taylor says. “With Bad Debt, I just hit some emotional something. I felt like the only way my music is going to be worth anything to anybody including myself is if it feels real.” Hallelujah Now, he tells me, just poured out of him. He’s not even sure why. He’s currently working on his new record, which he says isn’t coming out with nearly as much ease. However, it’s all relative. Ever since he struck gold with Bad Debt and learned a way to express himself in a sincere way, it hasn’t ever really been too hard. “I’m always surprised to hear people talk about how difficult song writing is for them. I’ve never really had that feeling,” Taylor says. “Even with the latest batch of songs, it’s not like it was hard. It’s more like, ‘Am I going to want to live with this song forever?’ That’s one of the questions that I ask myself a lot.” Hiss Golden Messenger performs at 8 p.m. at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20. 429-4135.

Having B12 in the form of an injection bypasses the malabsorption problem, and people often feel an immediate difference. Every Thursday morning, we offer discounted vitamin B12 by walk-in or appointment. 9 a.m.Noon. Thrive Natural Medicine, 2840 Park Ave., Soquel. thrivenatmed.com or 515-8699. $15.

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
FUNKY JOE & THE MOFOS People were calling Joe Neto Jr. “Funky Joe” before he started a band called Funky Joe and the Mofos. He kind of had a reputation for bringing the energy, as anyone who saw his band Funkranomicon can attest.
SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“I don’t know what happens to me. I blank over and start talking in tongues and start moving my feet. It takes over me,” says Neto of being on stage. “Whatever happens from that, if it’s entertaining to the crowd, that’s awesome. It’s just me being me, doing what I do.”
48
Perhaps that’s why the members of the local band Mofongo invited Neto to jam at a show. “It was supposed to be just two songs that I sat in on, then I ended up sitting there for two sets,” Neto says. “After the sets, we both looked at each other and said, ‘Well, what’s our next project? We gotta keep this momentum going.” That was how Funky Joe and the Mofos was born, one year ago: members of Funkranomicon and Mofongo joined forces to create one massive supergroup. (They also grabbed guys from Deep Pocket and Reactors) The funky seven-piece band plays a variety of dance tunes, but it tends to revolve around the Southern R&B Stax Records sound. “For me, it’s about a release from the work week. I want to come out and have fun, and I want to enjoy the time, and I want people to have fun with me,” Neto says. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.
EMILY CAVANAGH
WEDNESDAY 9/19 COUNTRY
MIRA GOTO Singer-songwriter Miro Gota likes to tell stories, like the guitar-slingers of yesteryear used to do. But her music is fun, light-hearted and will hook your heart before you realize you’ve been tapping your toe all along. “Crazy Cat Lady” is a touching song about finding a stray cat and adopting him. “New Plaid Shirt” is a self-empowering sing-along about finally getting over an ex-lover. Originally from Northern California, the young musician has since relocated to Nashville and has developed a touch of heartbroken twang to balance her penchant for bubblegum. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michael’s On Main, 2591 S. Main, Soquel. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-9777.
ALTERNATIVE
DEAN WEEN GROUP For almost 30 years, Ween waged an absolute war on the border between music and comedy. They would take every idea seriously, even if that idea was rambling about “the blood from the panther” over elevator music. Since breaking up in 2012, the burden
of that mad dream has now fallen to frontman Dean Ween, who released Rock2 this March, his second fulllength with the Dean Ween Group. Rock2 is as virtuosic and inane as you’d expect from Deaner, proving that the borderlands between music and comedy aren’t safe just yet. MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 8 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 423-1338.
FRIDAY 9/21 INDIE
EMILY CAVANAGH Emily Cavanagh has a sweet, slightly old-timey voice accented with a delicate Irish lilt. It’s the perfect vehicle to deliver her soft-pop folk songs. Cavanagh uses thoughtful storytelling to craft twinkling, effervescent tunes that speak on finding joy and seeking optimism in dire circumstances without diminishing the trauma people are going through. Born in Chicago to an Irish-American family, Cavanagh spent time in Dublin to hone her songwriting skills. Now she collaborates with renowned musicians far and wide, and spins her own tales into high-spirited melodies. AMY BEE INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.
CABARET
CAFÉ MUSIQUE Central Coast ensemble Café Musique plays dance music for bibulous United Nations shindigs, the kind of parties where secrets are spilled, careers are ruined and diplomats let their hair down. The quintet combines an array of traditions, including tango, swing, blues and folk. They meld the disparate forms with instrumental bravado and emotional commitment. Featuring the fiery violinist and vocalist Brynn Albanese, string expert Eric Williams on guitar, ukulele, bouzouki and vocals, Duane Inglish on accordion, Craig Nuttycombe on guitar and vocals, and Fred Murray on bass and vocals. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320 Cedar St. #2, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $32/door. 427-2227.

MUSIC
BE OUR GUEST SEVEN LIONS
THE HEART AND THE HEAD
tion. What I’m saying is these guys are really, really laid back, and musically, they deliver the easy-breezy goods. It’s a healthy blend of Steely Dan and Fleetwood Mac, alongside some dreamy, harmony-rich ’60s psych-pop. And even within the down-tempo, don’tmove-too-much rock, the two singers unveil some seriously soulful vocals. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-6994.
THE HEART AND THE HEAD Indie folk band the Heart and the Head have matured since their mega-successful folk-rock debut album for Sub Pop in 2011. They’ve maintained the acoustic intimacy and luscious, threepart harmony and bolstered it with almost—but not quite—country-rock guitar bravado. The six-member troupe easily maneuvers from radio-ready arena rock to tender, heartin-throat maudlin folk-pop, and back to a feel-good Americana. Traversing both big successes and personal setbacks have led the Heart and the Head to a sound full of heartache, but tempered with cautious optimism. AB INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $42. 423-8209.
ELECTRONIC
FLAMINGOSIS Listening to DJ Flamingosis is like blasting a funky 1970s Hollywood soundtrack into your ears; the lightas-air beats flow through the music on a river of euphoric melodies. All this ’70s dance music love earned him a shocking 15 million combined plays on Soundcloud for his first two albums. But don’t think he’s a one-hit—or twice-lucky—artist, as his latest album, Flight Fantastic, already has half a million listens—and it’s barely a month old. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.
BLUES
SELWYN BIRCHWOOD BAND Selwyn Birchwood has been playing the blues since he was 13, and was so good that by the age of 19, veteran bluesman Sonny Rhodes took him on tour. In 2010, Birchwood formed his current band and has since gone on to win a number of blues awards
including the Albert King Guitarist of the Year Award in 2013 and the Blues Music Awards’ Best New Artist Album, for 2015’s Don’t Call No Ambulance. MW INFO: 4 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15 /door. 479-1854.

AFRO-POP
HAILU MERGIA One of the founding voices in Ethiopian pop music, Hailu Mergia is a living legend. Going back to the ’70s with the Walias Band, Mergia’s organ and accordion playing have been a cultural sieve, transposing American jazz, soul, and funk into the harmonic register of Ethiopia. In the ’80s, he released his first solo record, Hailu Mergia and His Classical Instrument, a striking work of organ, accordion, Moog, and drum machine. This year’s Lala Belu finds the master once again playing with a full band, and includes some of his most assured compositions yet. MH INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Drive, Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

The world got its first taste of producer Seven Lion with his mesmerizing dubstep rendition of Above and Beyond’s “You Got To Go.” It was the winner of a Beatport remix contest that year. Almost instantaneously, he showed folks that he wasn’t a one-trick, blow-youreardrums-out-with-deep-bass pony. There’s a lot of craft and emotion in his music. His songs straddle the line between a sort of trance-like sonic serenity and an ethereal stillness. He also mixes in bass and some dubstep trickery, but it rarely drops harder than your gentle ears can handle.

I DON’T WANNA GROW UP Evan Rosado in ‘We the Animals,’ adapted from the novel by Justin Torres.
Boy on the Brink SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
Poetic style highlights dramatic ‘We the Animals’ BY LISA JENSEN
54
I
t could almost be a Third World country. The overgrown landscape is lush and green, with rambling, clapboard houses tucked in here and there, and a swimming hole hidden under an outcropping of trees. It’s an Eden for two of three young brothers growing up half-wild in the woods of upstate New York while their parents are preoccupied with each other—but a challenging proving ground for the youngest brother struggling to come of age in We the Animals. Documentary filmmaker Jeremiah Zagar makes an impressive transition to fictional storytelling in We the Animals. Adapted by Zagar and Dan Kitrosser from the novel by Justin Torres, the movie is a lyrical plunge into the subconscious of a boy on
the brink of manhood trying to piece together his own identity. Zagar manages a very deft balance between powerful, evocative visual style and the casual poetry of Torres’ narrative voice, using minimalist dialogue, documentary realism, and fanciful animation to tell a simple-seeming, yet complex and moving tale. The story is set in the 1980s, when Torres himself was growing up, and the absence of cell phones, social media, or basically any kind of technology (besides a brokendown TV) adds an extra layer of mysteriousness and insularity to the brothers’ lives. Jonah (Evan Rosado) is the youngest, just about to turn 10. His two older, alpha siblings are Manny (Isaiah Kristian) and Joel (Josiah Gabriel).
While his brothers take after the quick-tempered Puerto Rican father they call Paps (Raul Castillo), Jonah is closer to their mother, Ma (Sheila Vand), who tries to protect his sensitivity from the harshness of life. But the playful, simmering sexual tension between their parents that fascinates the boys also explodes into anger sometimes when things don’t go right. And when Paps lashes out, it’s Ma on the receiving end. But Jonah has a private escape route from the unpredictability of family life. At night, while the others sleep, he sneaks off to scribble his own story in a secret notebook, illustrated by expressionistic drawings—not only of what he sees, but what he feels and imagines. These rough-hewn images take
flight on the page, providing a vivid, animated commentary on the fractious realities of Jonah’s life. At the same time, Jonah’s words provide another ongoing narrative as he appraises his family life. “Us three. Us brothers. Us kings,” he says at the outset. “We wanted more. More volume. More muscle.” But when they all charge indoors to find their parents peacefully curled up together on the sofa, asleep, he notes, “Sometimes less. Less noise.” When Paps takes off after a violent interlude, and Ma is too despondent for a while to care for them, the brothers try shoplifting at the mini-mart for food. But eventually, Paps does come back, when, Jonah notes, “He wanted more of us. More of her. More of our family.” As the family’s precarious fortunes—financial and emotional— fluctuate, the older brothers become more aggressive, testing and taunting Jonah to the point that they start appearing as beaked, flying demons in Jonah’s drawings. Questions of male identity and adulthood percolate throughout the tale as Jonah searches for his own place in the world, separate from his family unit. And filmmaker Zagar makes the journey compelling by sticking close to Jonah’s viewpoint, observing everything, and setting it to Nick Zammuto’s yearning musical soundtrack and Mark Samsonovich’s animated sequences, which beautifully convey Jonah’s inner life. Castillo and Vand are quite good as the parents whose volatility has such an impact on their kids’ lives. (When Paps teases Ma that they should “make some more boys,” she groans, “Just what I need—more men!”) There’s enough going on in the story to keep viewers invested, but this is not a movie of big events. Instead, it depends on small, profound moments—like the first time the brothers see their humbled father close to tears—to achieve its singular vision. WE THE ANIMALS *** (out of four) With Evan Rosado, Isaiah Kristian, Josiah Gabriel, Sheila Vand, Raul Castillo. Written by Dan Kitrosser and Jeremiah Zagar. Based on a novel by Justin Torres. Directed by Jeremiah Zagar. Rated R. 94 minutes.
FILM NEW RELEASES FAHRENHEIT 11/9 When I interviewed Michael Moore a couple of years ago, he told me the point of his 2016 movie Where to Invade Next was to “tell a story about the U.S. without shooting a single frame of film in the U.S.” It was a fun, thoughtful documentary, but with Moore out of the only country that inspires his extremes of love and anger, it lacked the fire of his most famous films. It’s back in this follow-up—literally—as the trailer for Fahrenheit 11/9 returns to the tinder-box tone and explosive imagery that drove Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, the most successful documentary of all time. After two years of taking potshots at him in the press, this is Moore’s antiTrump manifesto. (R) (SP) THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS There’s something gross about a kid’s movie being directed by the man who made the morally bankrupt Death Wish remake that came out earlier this year. Actually, there’s been a certain Eli Roth stink that seems to follow him from movie to movie for a while now. We’ll see how he fares with this adaptation of the classic YA mystery about an orphan who goes to live with his warlock uncle and ends up helping him battle a black-magic plot to end the world. Directed by Starring Jack Black, Cate Blanchett and Own Viccaro. (PG) 104 minutes. (SP)
LIZZIE This #MeToo-era take on the Lizzie Borden story was directed by Craig William Macneill, who recently directed a season of Channel Zero, the most underrated spooky show on TV. And casting Chloe Sevigny in the title role is pure genius. Co-starring Kristen Stewart, Fiona Shaw and Denis O’Hare. (R) 105 minutes. (SP)
NOW PLAYING A.X.L. Writer-director Oliver Daly originally made this family-friendly sci-fi story about a bike-racing boy who befriends a cutting-edge military dog robot as a seven-minute short film funded through Kickstarter. I watched it—it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense narratively, but the chrome dog looks really damn cool. Plus, there are some sweet dirt-biking scenes—which, let’s face it, is all any Hollywood exec really wants in a movie. Add in the fact that it’s basically E.T. without the Reese’s Pieces and space travel, and I can see why A.X.L. got a green light. Starring Thomas Jane, Becky G and Alex Neustaedter. (PG) 100 minutes. (SP) BLACKKKLANSMAN Remember how good Spike Lee’s last two movies Da Sweet Blood of Jesus and Chi-raq were? Of course you don’t, because you didn’t see them, and neither did anybody else. It’s safe to say that Lee hasn’t been relevant since 2006, when he delivered both the Hurricane Katrina documentary When the Levees Broke and the twisty heist thriller Inside Man in the same year. But BlacKkKlansman, based on the story of a real-life AfricanAmerican police detective who infiltrated David Duke’s Ku Klux Klan in 1979, screams “comeback film” in every way. From its cultural relevance in the age of government-supported white supremacists to the way it plays with questions of racial identity (as in Sorry to Bother You, an African-American protagonist has to find his “white voice”) to its showcase for his trademark mix of brutal truth and humor, this is the kind of joint Lee was born to make. Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver
and Topher Grace. (R) 135 minutes. (SP) THE BOOKSHOP Emily Mortimer plays a widow who opens a bookstore in a coastal town in Suffolk in the 1950s. Bill Nighy plays Mr. Brundish, a mysterious man who is her number one customer, and Patricia Clarkson is Mrs. Gamart, an influential town figure who could destroy her business. Directed by Isabel Coixet. (PG) 113 minutes. (SP) CRAZY RICH ASIANS Ugh, you gotta feel for the multiracial actors cast in this rom-com based on the book by Kevin Kwan. This is the first bigbudget Hollywood film to feature a predominantly Asian cast in 25 years, but for some people, they’re just not Asian enough. The criticism over the casting for this movie—about a Chinese-American professor who accompanies her boyfriend to Singapore and discovers that his family is not only crazy rich, but just plain crazy—got so ridiculous that at one point a Korean American actress who had been turned down for a role complained in an interviews about the “loopholes” in ethnically conscious casting. The problem: she herself had played the Chinese character Mulan in the TV series Once Upon a Time. Directed by Jon M. Chu. Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh. (PG-13) 104 minutes. (SP) JULIET, NAKED Adapted from a Nick Hornby novel, and directed by TV comedy veteran Jesse Peretz, this is an amusing tale of a middle-aged music fan whose obsession with an obscure, has-been rocker fuels the plot. It's a wry divertimento for three voices: the obsessed fan (Chris O'Dowd), his neglected, fed-up girlfriend (a chipper and charming Rose Byrne), and the reclusive rocker himself (a frisky Ethan Hawke, rebounding from the gloom of First Reformed), the fantasy figure whose unexpected appearance in the others' reality
throws all their lives into comic turmoil. This isn't a weighty film, but sharp dialogue makes its pleasures consistently entertaining. (R) 98 minutes. (LJ) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT I thought I was crazy when I first noticed that the popularity of Mission: Impossible movies seem to grow the more Tom Cruise gets hurt. To put it a little more accurately, the more the movies undercut Cruise’s veneer of action-hero flawlessness, the more people flock to them. But I’m not the only person who thinks this, because the trailer for the latest one features a scene where Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt is scared to jump out a window. And it’s really funny! For some reason, Tom Cruise getting owned just never gets tired. Hell, isn’t that why we all watched Edge of Tomorrow, to see him get killed over and over again? Directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Costarring Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. 147 minutes. (SP) THE NUN It’s time to play everybody’s favorite horror-movie game show, Prequel or Sequel? This week’s question: If Annabelle was a prequel to The Conjuring, and Annabelle: Creation was a prequel to Annabelle, is The Nun—which is set after Annabelle: Creation but before Annabelle—a prequel or a sequel to The Conjuring? Oh, I’m sorry, it was a trick question. The Nun is actually a prequel to The Conjuring 2! Even more hilariously, you don’t even really need to have seen any of the previous four films going into this stand-alone spin-off that has a priest and a nun investigating the mysterious suicide in a 1950s Romanian monastery. Directed by Corin Hardy. Starring Demian Bichir, Taissa Farmiga and Ingrid Bisu. (R) 96 minutes. (SP) PEPPERMINT From the people who brought you Taken comes this revenge drama starring Jennifer Garner as a woman determined to murder everyone who took her family away from her. So, basically, Taken if Liam Neeson didn’t get there in time. Directed by Pierre Morel. Starring Garner, John Gallagher Jr. and John Ortiz. (R) (SP)
THE PREDATOR I loved the Bay Area band Arnocorps; all of their songs were based on Schwarzenegger movies and they had put together a bizarre band mythology that combined action movies, ancient gods and physical fitness. They seem to be gigging again, and I’m tired of explaining the same damn plot over and over again with every new Predator movie, so instead I’ll just quote the lyrics of the Arnocorps song “Predator”: “There’s something out there waiting for us, and it ain’t no man … I’m here, kill me, come on, kill me, I’m here! Come on, do it now! Run! Get to the chopper!” That’s all you need to know, I swear. Directed by Shane Black. Starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes and Jacob Tremblay. (R) 107 minutes. (SP) A SIMPLE FAVOR A mommyblogger tries to uncover the truth about her best friend’s disappearance, while still explaining to you why you’re raising your kid wrong. Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively and Henry Golding. (R) 117 minutes. (SP) WE THE ANIMALS Reviewed this issue. Starring Isaiah Kristian, Josiah Gabriel and Evan Rosado. (R) 94 minutes. (SP) WHITE BOY RICK Matthew McConaughey plays the worst dad ever in this true story of Ricky Wershe Jr. (played by Richie Merritt), whose troubled home life in 1980s Detroit leads him to become a drug dealer—and then the FBI’s youngestever informant. That probably worked out great, right? Definitely not with a life sentence in prison or anything. Directed by Yann DeMange. Co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Piper Laurie and Bruce Dern. (R) 110 minutes. (SP) THE WIFE Glenn Close gives what some are calling the performance of her career as a woman who accompanies her writer husband to Stockholm when he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature. However, things are revealed to be much different than they appear on the surface as the truth about “the wife” comes out. Directed by Bjorn Runge. Co-starring Jonathan Pryce and Christian Slater. (R) 100 minutes. (SP)

LIFE ITSELF Wait, rom-coms that follow a bunch of people loosely connected by one or more events are coming back now? Also, could the producers have chosen a title that was more derivative of Love Actually? Seems unlikely. Ooh, that’d be a good title for one of these movies, too! Directed by Dan Fogelman. Starring Oscar Isaac and Olivia Wilde, but not Oscar Wilde. (R) 118 minutes. (SP)

Oswald Afternoons Lunch at the popular downtown Santa Cruz spot is always a treat BY CHRISTINA WATERS
B
ehind the bar, a mixologist is muddling orange peel into a tall glass. Chef/ owner Damani Thomas is finessing dishes in the open kitchen. Beverly and I slide into the front window banquette and enjoy the sun-filled ambience of the dining room, which feels light and relaxing in the middle of the day. Lunch at Oswald has an entirely different vibe than the sizzle of happy hour, or the expansive, robust energy of the house dinner times. Wednesday
through Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., lunch restores serenity to this popular downtown restaurant at the corner of Front and Soquel. We like the trend of making additions such as chicken, seafood, or a fried egg available on entrees at smart places like Oswald. However, my eyes went immediately to the house burger and fries ($18), and Bev jumped on the lunch special— King salmon over a hash of Jimmy Nardello peppers, potatoes, shallots, and zucchini. Sparkling water made
sense on a warm afternoon, although we found ourselves gazing over at two women happily consuming cocktails in midday. The last few weeks of summer can provide an excuse for indulgence, no? We also had time to savor the current art exhibition filling the walls of Oswald. Barbara Lawrence’s rugged landscapes showcase plein air insight and savvy knife work. And then our dishes arrived. In the center of one plate, a thick wedge of salmon filet lay at a
diagonal on a golden dice of vegetables, bathed in basil olive oil vinaigrette. The moist salmon was topped with slices of radish and more vinaigrette. A terrific dish for an amazing price—$20. My burger ($18) was nothing short of huge. A thick patty of rare/ medium rare beef perched on a fresh brioche bun, with cheddar cheese melting all over the top, and an underpinning of aioli, sliced late-harvest tomatoes, and a fan of dill cornichon. I laid on the catsup and worked my way through almost half of the exceptional burger, the rest to take home. Every bite was accompanied with one of the crisp, hot, salty french fries that covered more than half the plate. These were fries that mock the entire idea of restraint. Thank you, Damani and company. I had forgotten how good this comfort classic could be. Having absolutely no room for either the chocolate mousse or the creme brulee dessert options, we sipped French press coffee and green tea as we decompressed from our totally satisfying lunch at Oswald. There will be more of these midday Oswald episodes in our future, and tha’s a fact! Oswald, 121 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Closed Monday. oswaldrestaurant.com.

Pizza-throwing champion finds a new way to pop up his dough BY LILY STOICHEFF

enough to support the toppings—some traditional, others more creative. Sleight of Hand’s combinations endeavor to be high-quality, seasonal and sourced from local farms. “We’re always tweaking our dough recipe and our menu. We’re trying to go as organic as possible and trying to involve local farms and companies,” says Wadstein. “I like to get as crazy as possible. I just think as big as I can, and my wife is the one to pull it back a little bit. I’ve been making pizza since I was 13, and I’ll be 33 this year. In 20 years, you’ve done everything you can think of, so I like to push the limits a little bit.” He mentions a pizza with octopus, cherry bomb peppers, mint and preserved lemon he made in Italy, and is working on a watermelon pizza, a sweet waffle cone-like dough, and using beer reductions—all of which sound delicious to me. Look for Sleight of Hand at the farmers market in Felton on Tuesdays, at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing on Thursdays, and at breweries, wineries and festivals throughout the area.

n a YouTube video from 2017, 12-time World Pizza Throwing Champion Justin Wadstein takes the stage at the Pizza Games in Las Vegas and immediately begins to energetically spin a lump of pizza dough into a flying saucer. A pop song blares as Wadstein throws and catches the dough over and over again, rolling it along his shoulders, tossing it high into the air before it becomes a ring that he catches around his neck. The crowd whoops and applauds. This is just the beginning of a three-minute acrobatic act that concluded with Wadstein earning his 13th title. Lately, though, Wadstein has stepped away from the competitive ring of dough spinning to pursue his passion for making pizza. At his pop-up Sleight of Hand Pizza, which he co-owns with his wife Liza, Wadstein’s wood-fired pies are anything but gimmicky. After spending about a minute and a half in their mobile oven, the pies emerge blistered, deep gold and bubbling. The aroma and texture of the dough is incredible. The thin, chewy crust is riddled with fragrant air pockets and is just structurally sound

ntegrity Wines’ 2014 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a dazzling display of all that a good Cabernet should be–smoky, earthy and nutty, with a ton of up-front fruit. Cabernet is known for its distinctive black currant, coffee, tobacco and mint notes, and this one shines like a star with all of these features and more. Gorgeous aromas of cedar, toast, coffee, and a smidgeon of spearmint highlight this superbly made Cabernet ($40) by Mark Hoover. A glass or two of this inky nectar will pair perfectly with a juicy steak and other hearty fare. Hoover also makes a 2015 Barrel Select Cabernet Sauvignon for $24, which you will be able to sample at Gourmet Grazing on the Green, along with many other wines he produces. Integrity also participates in the quarterly Passport event organized by the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association (the next one is Nov. 17).
“Integrity is not just about the wine itself,” says Hoover on his website. “It’s about everyone who helped create this wine experience.” Integrity Wines, 135 Aviation Way, Suite 16, Watsonville. 322-4200. Integrity. wine. Tasting room open noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Café Bittersweet is a charming small-cafe offshoot of Bittersweet Bistro serving breakfast and lunch. I had breakfast with a friend there recently, and we shared a delicious Greek Goddess Omelet ($13)—which was plenty for two. Two things to note are the reduced-price ($8.50) Breakfast Busters, served from 8-11 a.m., and that pooches are welcome on the shaded outdoor patio. Café Bittersweet is open for breakfast 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and for lunch 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. Café Bittersweet, 787 Rio Del Mar Blvd., Aptos, 662-9899. cafebittersweet.com
H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES FESTIVAL OF ATONEMENT We are in the Jewish High Holy Days of the New Year (Rosh Hashanah). Following Rosh Hashanah, we have had 10 days of reflection, ending in the Day of Forgiveness (Yom Kippur). In the book Dune, author Frank Herbert writes, “Beginnings are fragile things. A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.” It is good therefore to begin a new year with forgiveness—offering and receiving forgiveness. These Days of Awe, Reflection and Forgiveness occur this year in Virgo, sign of purification, preparing us for the balance and harmony of Libra. And so, among ourselves, to and for each other, we offer forgiveness. When we do so, we are “likened to the angels.” And, as we forgive, we too are forgiven (by G-d). “For on this day He will forgive us, purify us, that we be cleansed
from all imbalances (ignorance, inabilities, unknowings, hurting others, judgments, criticisms, nonvirtuous ways of being that create separations, etc.) before G-d.” Candles are lit. We read the Book of Jonah & Psalm 27. Praying to G-d. Knowing G-d is Goodness always. In our introspections, we come closest to G-d (essence of our Soul). “G-d, benevolent G-d, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and truth; He preserves kindness for two thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.” This is the prayer of the Angels. We have “captured” it. So we can be angels too. We ask forgiveness. We offer forgiveness to those who have hurt us. Being forgiven, we, in turn, forgive.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
The season’s about to change and so must our health regimes, diets, ways we exercise and plan our day. Through this Virgo time, it’s good to begin thinking along new lines, preparing for the coming changes in the sunlight, shadows, color, air and clouds. These changes are reflected within ourselves, too. Relationships need extra tending so others around us don’t feel cold, separated, alone and left out. We embrace them.
This morning I saw a drawing of a sheaf of wheat. A Virgo symbol of nourishment for humanity. I thought of Libra and what nourishes them. Relationships, beauty, friends, equilibrium, balance, love, parties, art. In the beauty and balance of the wheat sheaf I thought Librans must return to their art in whatever form calls to them. Some Librans design clothing, some paint, some have galleries, some are collectors. What art form of beauty and balance calls to you?
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
You want to be out and about, learning new things, attending lectures, classes, gathering information. Always your life and its task are to illuminate the minds of humanity. And so, you are serious and disciplined. It would be good to consider what is playful for you, brings enjoyment, fun; what calls forth your humor and spontaneity? Perhaps you need to swim more, in clear pure warm waters.
Do you sense restlessness, a discontent? That there’s a group that belongs to you, yet somehow you can’t find it or they you? Not yet. As you both search for the other, assess your present and future goals (again). They’ve changed recently or are in the process. So many of us are on the fence, uncertain about the future. We must summon patience. Speak with those close to you. Ask for their visions and goals. Listen deeply. There’s a message there.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 12, 2018
GEMINI May 22–June 20 Family, whether biological, friend, group, colleagues, etc. matters more and more these days. Something new has occurred in your life and you are to bring forth the next stage in a relationship. Harmony is your focus with a touch of compromise (not much). Listening to others until you understand the essential message is a parallel goal. All of this brings love forth—your task. Love heals.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s time to create a new plan concerning finances and resources. When you do so, a new state of values also comes forth. You may want to communicate more deeply with people close to you, sharing your values with them, asking what values they hold, assessing what values are held in common. What are your desires and aspirations for the future, based on these values? Your sense of identity and values have changed this past year.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You will want to come out of the shadows and into a greater light. Standing in shadows, perhaps in the shadow of another can be comforting. However, there comes a time when we each must define ourselves, recognize our own self-identity, understand what we initiate, realize that we’re capable, summon our confidence, and seek a new support system. Am I speaking to Virgo or Pisces? Both. They are the shadow of each other.

OPEN EVERYDAY 8AM TO 9PM Find us on:
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 During these months the perfect execution of your creative work is a priority. It always is but a new dimension has been added. Multiple concepts flow through your mind; you’re being impressed with ideas that become ideals and later, goals. There’s an inner enthusiasm. You’re gestating a new reality. Do you sense the need to begin something? Share your ideas with others who love to listen to you. Diplomacy is paramount.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 What will you do when autumn begins? It’s only days away. It seems something’s calling you, someone, somewhere. Maybe it’s a garden deva. Perhaps it’s a course of study, something you want (or need) to learn. Is there somewhere you want to visit, travel to, discover? Maybe it’s freedom. Is there something you need to say to someone far away? Or visit? Something lovely your ways comes (soon).
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Take extra care with money and resources. Use this time to discriminate between what is needed and what is not. Give away what is no longer useful and then give more away. Giving provides us with meaning, a true sense of service. Giving liberates and allows everyone involved to move forward in their lives. Give to yourself then give of yourself to others. With love.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 We are to do our best wherever we find ourselves. Many of us are uncertain these days, on the fence (uncomfortable), unable to know where we’re going, what to do when we don’t know what to do, and how to provide our gifts when opportunities don’t seem to exist. Again, we (especially Pisces) are to do our best wherever we find ourselves. We’ve been placed there for a reason. Relationships need a bit of compromise. A bit of surrender. You understand.

Do this ceaselessly, quietly, with heartfelt intention with all of the kingdoms. Begin in the garden.

The conversation in Real Estate is changing. Six months ago it would have been unfathomable to even think about having to have “the talk” with a seller whose home was still on the market after three or four weeks. You know, the one about why their house isn’t selling. Or God forbid, the even harder one that comes after that: the one about it being time to consider a price reduction. That just didn’t happen six months ago. It was an almost universally accepted notion back then that every single property that came on the market would also leave the market with equal speed and equanimity. They all sold. And they all sold quickly, most likely with multiple offers. Some all cash. Few or no contingencies. For well over asking. Even though it wasn’t really the case. (Yes Virginia, sometimes Santa didn’t show and there were actually properties that didn’t sell and had to reduce their prices. And maybe after that, they still didn’t sell and they ended up chasing the market down a lot longer!). But all in all, it was true enough at the time to sustain a powerful fantasy about an infallible marketplace. One that just about everyone could take to the bank. Success was a given, instant gratification the norm. Sellers could do no wrong. All was well and the sun was shining in the land of blue skies. And for a while, Buyers seemed to be on board with the program. We put the houses on. They bought them as fast as we could bring ‘em to market. Sellers said: “Jump!” and Buyers said: “How high?!” (There’s always been a weird Buyer psychology-thing that makes people feel more comfortable buying in a marketplace that’s rapidly appreciating and moving away from them, than buying in a marketplace where the prices are moving down and coming to meet them. Must be those brain chemicals that the neuroscientists keep telling us about. The ones that encourage people to keep on gambling even when the odds against them are increasing.) And so it went. Sellers kept raising the bar. And Buyers kept leaping over it. Until suddenly, in August, the number of active listings on the market started to climb, and then climb some more with a steadily increasing total that is now about 25% higher than it was just over a month ago. And then what? Well, we don’t know. It’s a long ride and we aren’t there yet. We are still waiting for more intel. All we know is that the number of listings is increasing and fewer are selling quickly. It’s those homes that aren’t selling that are changing the conversation about real estate. We’ll listen in to more of “the talk” Agents are having with Sellers next week...

What first got you shopping at Shopper’s? JESSICA:“I was at a girlfriend’s house and we walked here to get margarita mix for a barbecue. Later, we ended up moving into her house and Shopper’s became our go-to store.” EDWARD:“I had heard about their butcher shop, and was not disappointed the first time I came here with Jessica.” You prefer shopping local? JESSICA: “Yes. I used to teach and see former students here working. Other stores don’t hire young teens like Shopper’s does.” EDWARD:“I love shopping local. Our son, Eddie Jr., feels comfortable here because of the family atmosphere.”
What do you like to cook? EDWARD:“I do breakfast — scrambles, French toast and omelets. Shopper’s marinated skirt steak is my good-luck Raiders food.Almost every time I grill it when tailgating they win!” JESSICA:“I make Mexican and Italian dishes. Bolognese sauce is one my specialties. I’ll get pork shoulder when making taco carnitas, ham hocks for soup, plus sausages and lean ground beef. Then there’s my sweet corn and tomato salad! EDWARD: “Shopper’s carries key lime juice — very hard to find — which I need for my key lime pies. Oh, and Jessica makes great banana bread!”
What would you tell someone who’s new to the area about Shopper’s? EDWARD:“Go to Shopper’s for the best meat and the friendliest butchers in town!”JESSICA:“I appreciate that their produce is seasonal, local, with many organic selections.They carry all the local wines like Soquel Vineyards varietals, also local breads, eggs, pies and more. It’s not made here but Shopper’s stocks my favorite breakfast tea, P G Tips.” EDWARD:“Shopper’s is friendly, fun and the perfect size. It’s something the community really enjoys.” JESSICA:“Shopper’s is consistently good with their products, quality and customer service.”
