A complete guide to the 10th annual Santa Cruz Restaurant Week PULLOUT

OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE When we started Santa Cruz Restaurant Week 10 years ago, it was a very different time. The city was right in the thick of the Great Recession, and in some ways SCRW was more of a necessity than a luxury. It gave restaurants a way to bring in locals who were not going out as much, and it gave those same locals an affordable way to get back out to their favorite spots, or discover something new. It felt like different parts of the community helping to pull each other up in a difficult time. And it was a really fun way to do it. Ten years later, the economic

NEIGHBORS IN NEED

Re: “Night and Day” (GT, 9/26): Every single day when I leave my home in Watsonville, I see addicts walking the street aimlessly, almost getting mowed down by traffic. On Main Street from Rodriguez Street all the way to the Crossroads Shopping Center, there may be as many as a hundred addicts walking around, emerging from the bushes where they live. I happen to recognize many of these individuals, who also frequent the mental health county clinics and services. And every single day I have the same thought: these people need help. But by looking at the sheer numbers in my daily environment that help just does not seem to be arriving. I know there’s an opioid crisis in this country because it’s parading in front of my door. Maybe if you’re not living near the areas where these addicts are living and sleeping, you might conclude we don’t have much of a problem here. But I’m telling you, we do. What are we doing here in Santa Cruz County to help these people? Have we become so jaded that they are part of the landscape? More than 115 people in the United States die every day after overdosing on opioids, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The misuse of and addiction to opioids (heroin, prescription painkillers and fentanyl) also costs the country $78.5 billion annually,

situation has changed, and Santa Cruz Restaurant Week is twice as big as it was back then, but I still love the same things about it. It’s still a great way for the community to come together, it still guarantees a lot of great meals, and it’s more fun than ever. I love to go out to the restaurants that are part of SCRW and see how busy they are over the next seven days. You can find everything you need to plan your own Restaurant Week adventures in this issue. Thanks to Lily Stoicheff for talking to every chef, restaurant owner and manager who would give her the time of day about their Restaurant Week memories and their menus for this year. Take a look, and then get out and eat! See you there! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And 80 percent of people using heroin started their habit by first using prescription opioids, according to the National Institute of Health. So far in 2018, Santa Cruz County ranks 16th among 58 California counties for its high opioid overdose death rate. High housing costs, homelessness, income disparity and inadequate access to treatment all contribute to this local epidemic. I talked to several counselors at Se Si Puede who said there are a couple of things the ordinary citizen can do. For starters, we can advocate for affordable housing. Secondly, we can help educate people about the challenges of addiction. Maybe most important is training ourselves not to prejudge addicts and make them feel invisible; they already feel out of place. Some years back there was an assigned county mobile unit, which would provide basic curbside medical and/or mental health screening, basic hygiene items, and when appropriate, referral services for addicts, homeless, and people with mental health needs. This mobile unit would focus on specific crisis areas of the community in Watsonville. I’m not sure where the mobile unit has gone, but we need it now more than ever before. Treatment is one-third the cost of incarceration. More than 90 percent of Santa Cruz County residents >8

PRICED OUT

Local voters may now cast their ballot in the upcoming Nov. 6 general election at the County Elections Department, located at 701 Ocean St., Room 310 in Santa Cruz, and in the Watsonville City Clerk’s Office, located at 275 Main St. in Watsonville on the fourth floor, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Voters must complete an application for a ballot, and will receive a vote-by-mail ballot, which they may cast there or take home.

Wage growth over the hill has been slow and stagnant, according to a new UCSC report. Nine out of 10 Silicon Valley jobs pay less than they did 20 years ago, as reported by Chris Benner, professor of sociology and environmental studies. Benner found that most of the region’s workers are scraping by on their salaries, while venture capitalists eat up the gains. The findings implore techies to give the tenets of their new economy another look.

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

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

In his book The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas. “Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit,” he writes, give it a “terrible beauty” that is “the very stuff of human longing.” He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he “would most like to be eaten by.” I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by? What beautiful beast has the most to give you?

My astrological analysis suggests that life is conspiring to render you extra excited and unusually animated and highly motivated. I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful, and delighted. So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace that will be arriving? Here’s my opinion: be more focused on discovering possibilities than making final decisions. Feed your sense of wonder and awe rather than your drive to figure everything out. Give more power to what you can imagine than to what you already know. Being practical is fine as long as you’re idealistically practical.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Richard Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska. He lauds their “careful watching of the same events in the same place” over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us civilized Westerners. He concludes, “There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains.” I think that’s excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.

How far is it from the Land of the Lost to the Land of the Lost and Found? What’s the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more research you do about the journey, the faster it will go and the more painless it will be. Here’s another fertile question to meditate on: is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

“It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you,” writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you’re human, your life is a complete and utter mystery; whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery. What’s your percentage? I expect that between now and Nov. 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.

In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” That’s a bit too much like fairytale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally. But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis—especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months. Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

You Cancerians may not possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathic intuition is among your greatest treasures. Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life. Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted. It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a PhD. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice. In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis. Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.

Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking even during the day. He said we’re permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way. Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it’s our normal state to be neurotic; that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings. Now here’s the good news, Capricorn. You’re at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men’s theories. In fact, I’ll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you’ll be as authentic and awake and at peace as you’ve been in years.

OCTOBER 10-16, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Do you ever experience stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time? It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amidst swarms of amateur egomaniacs. I have a suggestion that might help. Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week. During these periods of release and relief, you won’t live up to people’s expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You’ll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they'll think you’re dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In the late 19th-century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, “That’s for me alone.” So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, “that’s more nearly your size.” The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

A Chinese proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” I’m happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been. Furthermore, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you’re calm and composed than if you’re agitated and trying too hard.

Every year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam. A company named Gumdrop has begun to harvest that waste and use it to make soles for its new brand of sneakers, Gumshoe. A spokesperson said the intention was to “create a product people actually want from something no one cares about.” I’d love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don’t want into something you do want.

who need treatment for substance use disorder do not receive it, according to my friend who works at Janus. The impacts of this unaddressed epidemic are profound. The local justice system reports that 60 percent of all bookings in 2015 were related to drugs or alcohol. I bet that number is even higher today. It is estimated that substance use disorders and treatment cost Santa Cruz County about $207 million per year. So please, can we all come together to help our neighbors?

RE: WILLIAM MCCARTHY We were lucky enough to see Billy play an intimate pop-up gig in a village pub in Yorkshire (U.K.) around two months ago. Having seen him play with Augustines more than a dozen times between 2012 and 2016, it was a night of complete and utter joy to witness him, sitting right in front of just 30 of us, singing his heart out as though performing in front of 3,000. He is, as the band was, the best live act we will ever see, and we cannot wait to see the film.

NEWS MOVING FORWARD The highly anticipated Unified Corridor Study is out—and everybody’s arguing about what it means BY JACOB PIERCE

FLOOR IT UCSC Associate Sociology Professor Steve McKay is presenting a new report on the effects of the housing crisis in the

county, which is behind on affordable housing targets. PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Structural Deficit Santa Cruz is behind on affordable housing goals. What will it take to fix the shortage? BY ALISHA GREEN

hen UCSC students made their way around Santa Cruz to conduct a survey about housing, some residents slammed the door in their faces. They got a similarly chilly response during community meetings, while conducting research for the latest installment of a university project to assess the effects of the housing crisis. That they hoped to contribute to a solution didn’t sway many locals who believe UCSC students are part of the problem. While there is widespread agreement that more needs to be

done in Santa Cruz County to make it an affordable place to live for people of all income levels, there’s a simmering disagreement about the dynamics of the problem and how to best address it. While some encourage construction of all types as a starting point to help boost the overall housing supply, others say the focus of any new development should be affordable housing. The co-leads of the UCSC “No Place Like Home” study believe their data can help create a more informed conversation around these issues. Last year’s study, which focused on renters, highlighted issues around

rent burden, forced moves and more. This year’s study includes findings from both renters and homeowners. Students surveyed nearly 500 city and county employees, as well as employees of Community Bridges and Salud Para la Gente, two of the largest local nonprofits. The UCSC team collaborated with Service Employees International Union Local 521 on the research. The goal is to make the research relevant for students and the community, say project co-leads Miriam Greenberg, a UCSC sociology professor, and Steve McKay, an associate sociology professor. >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 10-16, 2018

The new Unified Corridor Study (UCS) analysis represents a big step forward, said Capitola City Councilmember Ed Bottorff at the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) meeting last Thursday. Staff and consultants made the 200-plus-page document as complete as possible, said Bottorff. Experts surveyed the best ways to get from one end of the county to the other. The most closely watched portion of the analysis has been the question of what to do with one of the three major north/south avenues—the county’s coastal freight rail corridor. The document has a lot of numbers and estimates, some of them open to interpretation. The costs are estimates, and many of the calculations are moving targets, said Bottorff. “As we’ve all learned in construction, some projects may seem like they cost a certain amount, and most likely, they’re gonna cost more,” he said. “So I think everyone should just take that into consideration when they look at this.” Friends of the Rail and Trail tout the analysis as proof that a train is not only feasible, but also the best use for the corridor. Members of Greenway and Trail Now, who want the corridor used for a wider trail with no train, say that the estimates have a pro-rail bias and are further proof that the whole process has been unfair. There will be two public meetings this month on the UCS analysis, one in Live Oak and another in Watsonville. Staff will present a recommendation on a preferred scenario on Nov. 15. The commission may vote and take action no sooner than Dec. 6. (That date would be three days after the RTC’s next executive director is expected to take over for George Dondero, who is retiring.) Each scenario outlined in the study has a mixture of different options. The first one features carpool lanes, additional auxiliary lanes, on-ramp metering, intersection improvements, and a form of bus rapid transit—as well as a bike/pedestrian rail trail, but no train.

They’ll share the results at the free event “No Place Like Home: Building Local Housing Solutions for All” on Oct. 18 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, which will include a panel discussion of the findings and cap off a week of Affordable Housing Week gatherings. The study found that more than 60 percent of renters and half of homeowners surveyed spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Nearly half say they’ve

had difficulty paying their rent or mortgage in the last five years, and half of those individuals say they skipped buying food or medicine to make their housing payments. Possible ways to address those issues include expanding social services and exploring the need for the production of new affordable housing, the preservation of existing affordable housing, and the protection of tenants and renters, Greenberg says. In addition to two ambitious statewide initiatives, there are two housing-related local measures

on the Nov. 6 ballot. The first is a contentious citywide Santa Cruz rent control measure, Measure M, which has garnered high-profile opposition, although Greenberg and McKay both support it. The second, Measure H, is a countywide bond measure with wide-ranging support—but also opposition from a few homeowners—which requires support from two-thirds of voters in order for it to pass. The measure would fund assistance for first-time homebuyers and put money toward homeless facilities >14

NEWS BRIEFS NEVERENDING STORY Encompass Community Services CEO Monica Martinez thrilled mental health advocates when she announced in an Oct. 3 press release that the Second Story peer-run respite house would remain open after all, and for the foreseeable future. The flagship program is Santa Cruz County’s only alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Less than a month earlier, Martinez and Santa Cruz County health professionals had reluctantly decided to close the home after weighing financial and bureaucratic hurdles facing the program, as reported by Good Times at the time. After reading GT’s story, private donors came together to make an anonymous contribution totaling more than $1.1 million—the largest in Encompass history—and enough to pay off a state loan on Second Story’s Aptos property. Encompass will own the six-bed mental health facility and be able to keep offering comprehensive services for years to come. A portion of the donation will finance the cost of the program’s operations while Encompass and the county draft a long-term sustainability plan. Second Story’s expected

closure came as a shock to the program’s staff last month. Erik Riera said at the time that a complicated funding situation made the program—a model for almost a dozen respite houses across the nation—unsustainable. After eight years, Second Story was set to close its doors at the end of November. Yana Jacobs, who helped establish Second Story almost a decade ago, was looking to save the program, searching for ways to reconfigure the house or move funding around to sustain services. That responsibility has been lifted off her shoulders. “I’m exuberant and relieved and have a joyous, renewed faith in humanity,” Jacobs tells GT via email. “Our work resonates with a call to social justice in the mental health arena.” At Second Story, staffers are taking a deep breath. Excited voices are bouncing off the walls of the living room as piano music plays in the background. “It’s really starting to set in,” says Program Manager Adrian Camp. “The magnitude of the gift—to give us the house. I’m awed by it. It’s unbelievable.” HUGH MCCORMICK

PUSHING OUT

INK OR SWIM

A report released last month from the Urban Displacement Project shows a startling trend of low-income families being priced out of entire neighborhoods. UC Berkeley worked with the California Housing Partnership to create the Urban Displacement Project (UDP) and draft the study, which was released last month. It examines the far reaches of the greater Bay Area, from Watsonville to Sacramento. With Affordable Housing Week kicking off on Saturday, Oct. 13, a look at a map from the UDP shows sobering levels of displacement across the county. The map indicates two areas with advanced gentrification locally—in the lower Westside census tract, stretching from Lighthouse Field to Mission and Swift streets, and in the heart of Live Oak. Nearly every swath surveyed was either too expensive for low-income families or is at risk of becoming that way. Areas that were already higher-income to start with are showing especially high rates of displacement and exclusion— particularly in Scotts Valley, Prospect Heights and northern Live Oak.

Outgoing Santa Cruz Sentinel Managing Editor Kara Meyberg Guzman penned a heartfelt farewell to the paper on Thursday, Oct. 4, her last day at the 162-year-old daily, which she led for 10 months. Guzman thanked the paper’s hard-working reporters, photographers and editors in challenging times. “Nobody here is complacent,” she said. Guzman also cited differences with management. The Sentinel is part of NorCal Community Media, run by Digital First Media, which is owned by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital. Last December, Guzman was optimistic when she took over the Sentinel in place of then-Editor Don Miller, who was stepping down. Miller was decidedly less cheery at the time, although he believed in Guzman, who he said would need that positive spirit “to survive the headwinds that are rocking the newspaper industry.” Guzman, who said she would rather not discuss the reasons for her departure, would love to keep doing journalism, but only if it involves staying in Santa Cruz.

One thing that’s clear is that there’s likely no silver bullet to the complex crisis. “These kinds of things should be thought of holistically; they should be thought of in connection with one another,” Greenberg says. “We need to both be thinking long-term [about] really expanding the supply, and at the same time protecting folks who are desperately trying to hold on right now.”

Furthering his metaphor, Johnson suggested the commission should take a more central role in building its own pizza, although the commission did approve the chosen scenarios last year. Johnson also felt that the consultants should have updated commissioners as they worked on their study. Commissioner Andy Schiffrin, who is a staffer for Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, said the consultants never talked to him—and he’s glad they didn’t. Schiffrin said if critics believe the study is just a sham, meddling from the commission would only

contribute to that perception. “What we wanted was an independent analysis, and an independent analysis doesn’t mean you asked people along the way what they were doing,” Schiffrin said. “What it means is you wait until the end, and then you get mad.”

There will be two public meetings on the UCS analysis. The first is 6-7:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 15 at Live Oak Elementary School’s multi-purpose room. The second will be 6-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16, in the Watsonville Civic Plaza Community Room A, on the fourth floor of the City Hall building. Input can also be emailed to ucs@ sccrtc.org, or mailed to the RTC at 1523 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, 95062.

The issues in the Santa Cruz region reflect a larger problem: a dearth of housing statewide, with the number of new homes failing to keep pace with population growth. State housing department data from June showed 96 percent of California’s 539 local governments are not meeting their housing goals as set by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. That includes Santa Cruz County and its four cities. That data shows that the pace of affordable housing, in particular, has failed to meet expectations locally. The state and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments set goals for the total number of housing units that must be added from 2014-2023 to meet the needs of people at different income levels locally, including a total target of 3,044 units in Santa Cruz County, 747 units in the city of Santa Cruz, 700 in Watsonville, 143 in Capitola and 140 in Scotts Valley. The disparity in the affordability of that housing is clear: While the city of Santa Cruz issued permits to meet 79 percent of its goal for above moderate-income housing, and 141 percent of its goal for moderateincome housing, it only issued permits for 30 percent of its low income housing goal and 14 percent of its very low-income housing goal. Capitola issued permits for 38 percent of above moderate-income housing but only 4 percent of moderate-income housing, and nothing for low and very low-income tiers.

Watsonville issued permits for 4.5 percent of its low-income housing goal and 14 percent of its very low-income housing goal. In unincorporated Santa Cruz County, those numbers were 11 percent and 10 percent respectively. Scotts Valley has not submitted any annual progress reports to the state. (The city did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it has the data on its housing development by income tier.) The numbers collected by the state reflect building permits issued for housing, not the number of building permits where construction is finished. That housing may never be built for a variety of reasons, even though it’s counted for now as if it will be.

NAIL ON THE HEAD In the city of Santa Cruz, staff are well aware of the progress that still needs to be made on affordable housing. One challenge, planners say, has been recovering from the elimination in early 2012 of the state’s more than 400 redevelopment agencies. Those agencies collected around $5 billion per year statewide, a portion of which was targeted at building low-income housing. “A lot of times that was our tool to be able to develop those types of housing which may not be as lucrative for a developer,” says Sarah Fleming, principal planner in the city of Santa Cruz Department of Planning and Community Development. “Without those tools, we’re looking at additional ways to do that.” That involves changing rules to encourage more development of accessory dwelling units and more inclusionary housing to help generate affordable units. “It is very much on the radar—how do we address that very low-income need without the tools that we had in the days of yore?” Fleming says. A number of local groups have sprung up in recent years to present their own ideas. Santa Cruz YIMBY, which stands for “Yes in My Backyard,” formed last year with the goal of educating people on housing policy and getting them involved by going to city council and planning commission meetings.

NEWS STRUCTURAL DEFICIT <14

BRINGING HOME SOLUTIONS FOR HOUSING By Datta Khalsa, Broker In addition to my ongoing efforts to educate people on the multiple dangers of rent control in its unintended impacts on tenants, I have resolved to also explore ways that I can help facilitate solutions which both sides of the argument can agree will help renters, regardless of whether or not Measure M passes.

Inventory Clearance Sale

In a recent segment that I hosted for the local real estate show, YouTube: BTS Presents Santa Cruz County and Silicon Valley Real Estate Behind the Scenes, a colleague and I made a friendly bet to see who can be the first to help a group of tenants pool their resources and take control of their destiny as homeowners instead of remaining renters in perpetuity. Here’s how we envision it could work: Based on the median housing price of $900,000, three housemates coming up with a 20% down payment ($60,000 each) would end up with total monthly payments (including mortgage, property taxes and insurance) of about $4,900 per month ($1,634 each), of which about $3,700 would be tax deductible, while another $1,000 or so per month would go towards paydown of the principal, instead of out the window as rent. To qualify for those payments, each housemate would need to earn upwards of $47,000 per year by my estimate, putting them in the 22% tax bracket. This would need to be confirmed by a CPA, but would likely result in tax savings that would bring their net effective cost down to around $1,000 each per month, after factoring in deductions and principal paydown.

They would need to be responsible for repairs and maintenance above and beyond their monthly costs, but they would also get the additional homeowner benefits of depreciation, and even more significantly, profit from market appreciation whenever property values go up, so they can be included in our region’s economic expansion instead of getting left behind.

Another solution I am working on to make a difference in our housing crisis was brought to me by one of the investors in the real estate fund I help manage. The fund currently holds assets in 6 states, but the investor expressed an ideological wish to find opportunities here in our hometown that could provide our investors with a good return while also helping provide low-cost housing solutions for the local working poor. We looked into it and discovered that, in fact, this kind of investment has become much more viable through the recent creation of several Federal Economic Opportunity Zones in our area, along with changing rules for housing density bonuses being offered by the City. We are now in active discussions with several local developers to partner in low-income housing projects that will bring much-needed rent relief, and we are actively seeking additional members of the community who would like to participate in funding these ventures. Based on our preliminary projections we see potential returns comparable to what we have been able to attain in other parts of the country right here in our own community, and our vision is to achieve the best of both worlds where local investors can get viable returns while bringing their investment dollar home, where it counts the most.

Cruz-based development, design and construction company Workbench, is part of the local YIMBY group. “Housing is a basic right,” she says. It disturbs her to know that, while the greater Bay Area is thriving economically, housing can easily eat up half of a resident’s income. In addition to being active with YIMBY, Cannon is taking direct action through her company. Workbench owns a property in Soquel, where it hopes to start construction on 16 new townhomes, including four affordable units, next year. “It is not adding a giant number of units to the housing stock, but it is something,” she says. It’s important that families, seniors, people on fixed income and others are able to stay in their communities, she adds, and that means building a variety of kinds of housing. Groups like Save Santa Cruz take the stance that affordable housing, and not just any housing, should be the priority. “This housing crisis has linked any housing with the idea that any housing is good,” says Candace Brown, a longtime East Morrissey resident and steering committee member of Save Santa Cruz, which formed in opposition to the corridor zoning update, a policy idea that the City Council has back-burnered for now. That plan calls for increased density and taller buildings on Santa Cruz’s busiest streets. Brown doesn’t believe building market-rate housing will have any impact on affordability. “No Place Like Home” researchers hope to see housing get dissected from a number of different angles at their Oct. 18 event. “We know we don’t all agree,” UCSC’s McKay says, “but we think it is really important that we talk to each other.” ‘No Place Like Home’ will be 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18 in the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.

“I think that seeing this old-fashioned ghost story told with our 21st-century tools will be a visceral and thoughtprovoking encounter.” - MARIANNE WEEMS Also, she promises, “the ghosts appear in an ambiguous way.” We won’t reveal what that is. “It will all be really intense here, in this space,” Weems says, gesturing toward the raked seats in the Performing Arts Experimental theater. “I love this space. And the production itself is visually rich, the work has high impact. Like filmmaking and storytelling together.” “The whole thing is coherent. In this case, the whole is more than the sum of its parts,” she says with a grin. The play is also “opened out” at a few points, Weems notes. “There is a Q&A session with a child psychologist talking about truth and lies, especially among children.” Henry James’ belief in something called micro-psychology, “where you can read a person’s inner life according to micro-expressions on their faces and body language, is also referenced in this production.” Weems describes her production group as “working in that grey area between theater and cinema.” She admits her interests have advanced beyond traditional theater. “Blending video, sound, performance, and text—it’s hard to return to traditional stage production.” Marianne Weems has confidence in the radical interests of audiences here in Santa Cruz, which she believes are in line with the vision of new Arts Dean Susan Solt. The director of Strange Window aims to extend the boundaries of theater, anticipating that audiences will find this piece “stimulating, new, and surprising.” ‘Strange Window: The Turn of the Screw’ runs Oct. 13-14 at the Experimental Theater, UCSC. 70 mins, $10-$25. ucsctickets.com.

the production moves to New York for its East Coast premiere at the New Wave Festival. A visually ingenious interpretation of James’ classic, Strange Window casts its spell through state-of-theart media design and stagecraft. The blend of sound/video media and live action captures the flavor of James’ tale of illusion, psycho-reality, and the semipermeable membrane between the two. “I think that seeing this oldfashioned ghost story told with our 21st-century tools will be a visceral and thought-provoking encounter,” says Weems. “As artistic director, I work with different media and media designers. I generally introduce the concept and then bring together the strands. Everything flows from that, the connectivity. We create the form around the idea. Some of our pieces, such as this one, are text-based. The dialogue in Strange Window is taken directly from James’ text. “This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Weems says. “This text is about ambiguity. Are the ghosts real, for example. And the staging heightens the ambiguous.” In the upcoming production, the governess, the children, and all characters are seen in large, magnification—“a live film,” Weems calls it, “projected into a mediatized space.” The special magic of this work comes in its duality; viewers see the live performance as well as its simultaneous projection magnified on the screen behind the players. “United on the screen yet fragmented on the stage” is how Weems describes it. The play is interwoven with assorted contemporary film clips, as well as a soundtrack of abstract music and voices. “Media and living action intertwine to heighten the same ambiguity James explores in his novella,” she explains. “The intimacy comes from the magnified faces.”

Actors’ Theatre’s latest celebrates the genius of painter Mark Rothko BY CHRISTINA WATERS

rmed with the Tonyaward-winning play Red, director Wilma Marcus Chandler has injected her considerable dramatic savvy into an intense theater experience. An actor’s feast, the two-man exploration of the psychology and genius of painter Mark Rothko gives the audience a crash course in modern art history. Admittedly, viewers with a background in the rich ego-driven debates of Abstract Expressionism will be most captivated. Those for whom the names Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Roy Lichtenstein are rather vague might find the name-dropping texture of Red a bit more of an art history lesson than a living drama. The play by John Logan depends entirely upon the push and pull between visionary, hard-drinking, angst-ridden Rothko (played to the

hilt by Martin Sampad Kachuck) and his young, overwhelmed studio assistant Ken (played with earnest fervor by Robert Gerbode). Their dynamic doesn’t merely drive the play, it is the play. And for a brisk hour and a half, the master and assistant represent not only the Dionysian and Apollonian archetypes of chaos and order, but also the Old Guard reluctant to give way to the Next Wave in visual culture. Freud on steroids! The show belongs to Rothko and from the start, as we first see the painter smoking in his studio, transfixed by his latest work, Kachuck hits the stage running. Energy surges from his body, his face, and his impressive vocal range—the actor is one with his character. And one suspects he also believes in the primal vision of Rothko, considered one of the mystic giants of modern

art. Defying any genre label— although Abstract Expressionism eventually stuck—Rothko railed against the cheap popularity of some of his colleagues, and lamented even more the pop art celebrity of Warhol and Rauschenberg pushing his own fame to the sidelines. During the period covered by Logan’s script—the very late ’50s— Rothko has become the cranky deity of pure abstraction. Agonizing over the creation of each large canvas—“10 percent is putting paint on the canvas, the rest is waiting”—Rothko begins an intellectual struggle to indoctrinate his new assistant into the inner mysteries of painting. What ensues is a master class in 20th century psychoanalysis, 19th century philosophy, and an often very funny verbal exploration about the nature of paintings. “They move, they change, they pulse—there’s tragedy in every

brushstroke,” Rothko insists to his perplexed assistant. The play’s juicy love letter to Matisse’s Red Room is breathtaking. The play moves forward in time briskly. Rothko and Ken seem to work smoothly together, yet their back and forth dialectic grows louder, and digs deeper, eventually teasing out a personal tragedy buried in Ken’s unconscious (one of the playwright’s missteps). Essentially, the play is a one-man drama, with the assistant an externalization of Rothko’s own pedantic persona, as well as Greek chorus and devil’s advocate. The two final scenes focus on Rothko’s ambivalence toward an infamous commission he has accepted, to paint a series of murals for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York’s Seagram Building. Rothko’s love for these paintings, their vulnerability, and his fatherly despair about their well-being, are all revealed in Logan’s poetry. And yet the playwright seems unclear as to where and when the play should end. Opening night’s final scene felt more like an addendum, rather than the denouement of the emotional arc. Nonetheless, Red’s writing is so kinetic and rich, so illuminating of the artistic process—certainly Rothko’s—that we can practically chew on the lines cut, hewn, and shaped by the eminently watchable and listenable Kachuck. Anyone who paints, or grasps the ambivalence of authentic artistic creation will be enthralled by the scripted pyrotechnics. Kudos to Chandler, who understands how to move her actors around the stage, and through the script—and then step back and let them work. And praise for evocative lighting by Carina Swanberg and the spot-on set design by Skip Epperson, who has created a complete studio in which any painter would feel at home. Red will whet the viewer’s appetite for Rothko’s work and his eccentric grand vision, all the more compelling in a non-visionary 21st century. It’s a crisp, challenging bit of theater. ‘Red’ by John Logan, will be presented by Santa Cruz Actors’ Theatre at the Center Stage Theater, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz through Oct. 21. sccat.org.

Taking it ‘All’ In

Screaming Females expand their musical vision on ‘All at Once’ BY AARON CARNES

ew Jersey alt-rock trio Screaming Females spent a decade refining their sound to a near-perfect punch on 2015’s Rose Mountain. They took elements of metal, punk, alternative rock and pop and melded them together into increasingly more concise songwriting. Then the band took a surprise left turn with 2018’s All at Once, a wandering, unfocused, ambitious, and kind of long-winded heavy-rock record. And it’s their best album to date. “I think we definitely did a lot of self-editing with Rose Mountain. We

were working toward cutting the fat out of our songs,” says singer/ guitarist Marissa Paternoster. The group had gotten a lot of positive feedback for Rose Mountain, and were busy touring on it for a majority of the past three and a half years, so they didn’t have a lot of uninterrupted time to focus on making its follow-up. They tend to not write on the road, so it was a song here, a song there when they were at home. This gave them a chance to do a lot of demos and experiments. Rather than continue to refine the sound that has proven to work for the group, they expanded every

aspect of it. Some of the poppiest moments of the group’s career emerge on this record, as well as some of the angriest, and certainly some of the longest songs they’ve ever written. “We don’t really usually have any kind of list of rules that we need to adhere to when we start writing, we just try and do whatever feels natural—but also try and do things that are new and challenging for us,” says Paternoster. Songs like “Agnes Martin” have an almost hair-metal vibe. “Dirt” draws from late ’70s art rock. “Soft Domination” channels the groove-

rock of Fugazi (in fact, Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty adds a second drum part to the recording). This is the first record the band really thought about in terms of being a single work of art. The title All at Once refers to a concept the members had early in the process; that one can focus in on all of the smaller parts of a piece of art, while simultaneously considering the whole. “There are some albums that you can get a vibe when you think about the record. It makes you think about a certain time or a place, how the weather was outside when you first heard it. We wanted to make records that can be a part of people’s personal lives,” Paternoster says. “Before, we’ve always wanted to make records that people enjoy listening to, and there’s not much else to it, I suppose.” The album jumps around lyrically, but a theme that seems to pop up frequently is the changing nature of connection. On opener “Glass House,” Paternoster talks about how hard it is to create a meaningful online relationship. On “Step Outside,” she tells people to leave their house even though “you won’t be safe.” “There’s no way any of us really knew how quickly the way we interact with each other in the world would change in such a small period of time,” Paternoster says. “So I think if it’s not something that’s on your mind, that’s kind of crazy, especially if you’re my age.” Despite it being a departure for the band, the reviews and responses for All at Once have been quite positive, maybe the best they’ve ever received. “We have been lucky that every record we’ve done has gotten incrementally received a little bit better than the last one,” Paternoster says. “Our ultimate goal is to engage with as many people as possible, and hopefully make their lives feel a little more fulfilled and happy—and go out on tour and have cool experiences and make new friends.” Screaming Females play at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-6994.

SANTA CRUZ RESTAURANT WEEK

OCTOBER 10-17, 2018

Aquarius

The X Factor Santa Cruz’s culinary scene looks back on 10 years of Restaurant Week— and ahead to this week’s menus BY LILY STOICHEFF

he transition between late summer and early fall may be the best time to eat in Santa Cruz County. Berries, tomatoes, stone fruit, and hot and sweet peppers still crowd the tables at the farmers market, but by the beginning of October they are joined by a supporting cast of figs, apples, pears, and all manner of squash. While there’s still ample sunshine, there’s also a crispness in the air

that invites friends and family to gather and feast. It’s the perfect time to celebrate Santa Cruz County’s culinary scene, and for 10 years Santa Cruz Restaurant Week has done just that. Each participating restaurant offers their take on a three-course fixed price menu, which evens the playing field and invites each chef and restaurateur to showcase their skills within the event’s format. In the last

decade, I have been blown away by their creativity and passion. Many guests visit a different restaurant every night of the event—although with almost 40 participating restaurants this year, it would be difficult to visit all of them without a time machine or multiple stomachs. We asked each restaurant about their approach to this year’s menu, and why guests should make an effort to visit their establishment.

It’s clear that each takes pride in offering a special experience for both new guests and faithful customers, and in supporting locally and sustainably grown ingredients. We also asked them what makes Santa Cruz Restaurant Week such an enduring community event, and some of their answers are quite moving. Here’s to another 10 years!

“I worked with Joe Martin, our talented Chef de Cuisine, to make a menu that celebrates the fall harvest season, and all of the fantastic produce available from our local farms right now. We also wanted to showcase our housemade preserves and pickles from the summer harvest, and honor the Latin and Asian cultural influences around us. Finally, we wanted to make a menu which is fun and exciting, something new for our regular guests and Santa Cruz locals who have been visiting Linwood’s for years.”

“We always try to discount offerings that we already have. We’ve been here since 1995. Our current owners have been here since 1998. We like to remind people what they can get here every day, and reward regular customers with their favorites at a discount. That way if they love it, they can come back and get it again.” — RICO CONTRERAS, GENERAL MANAGER AT ROSIE MCCANN’S IRISH PUB

“Everything we do at Soif is seasonal and locally sourced, and that’s exactly how we approached the menu for Restaurant Week. Course by course, our guests are getting the freshest product, and tasting dishes that might not necessarily be on the menu in a few weeks.” — TOM MCNARY, CHEF AT SOIF

“Our Restaurant Week menu will showcase some of the dishes we will have on our upcoming seasonal menu. The timing is perfect to utilize late summer and fall ingredients like sweet corn, chilis, butternut squash and apples. This is a perfect way for customers to get a good taste of what’s new at Süda.” — MIKE PITT, OWNER AT SÜDA

“Restaurant Week is an opportunity to highlight the beginning of the change of seasons on the coast—to play with local honey and wild mushrooms, to give folks a chance to be exposed to our menu in a different way—with familiar preparations accompanied by bright and diverse flavors that aren’t provided year ’round, and which the kitchen excitedly gets to play with as the farms and sea shift gears.” — NICHOLE ROBBINS, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT JOHNNY’S HARBORSIDE

We’re doing something fun with an empanada with confit chicken. Last year we did seared diver scallops that were really popular, so we’re doing that again with different sides. We’re doing our beer-braised short ribs, which we’ve done before. This time it’s Colorado-style with white cheddar white corn grits, panca chili and masa-fried buttermilk onions. We have a version of our Thai curry, this time with roasted red peppers that’s vegan and gluten-free.

“To showcase what Solaire does and what it can do. Our menu is inspired by nature in the Santa Cruz style, and we’re trying to do things that are fresh and local while putting a spin on them—like our yuba noodles with kohlrabi slaw and green curry. We’re also featuring a Seaquoia seaweed salad. The seaweed is from a local guy, Ian O’Holleran, who harvests it locally. We’re serving it with kelp noodles, mizuna and honey from our rooftop made into a ginger dressing. We only change our menu twice a year, so this is what’s going to be on our menu this winter. We also have a vegan nacho made with cashew cream and Okinawan sweet potatoes. It’s a really great dish, something easy to share while sitting by the pool.” — SCOTT RADEK, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT SOLAIRE AT HOTEL PARADOX 23>

OCTOBER 10-17, 2018

“Restaurant Week is such a successful event because the community can try incredible culinary offerings at amazing prices. Ultimately, this encourages locals to try places they normally wouldn’t, and really gives back to the community by driving business to restaurants. For us here at Severino’s Bar & Grill, we genuinely look forward to Santa Cruz Restaurant Week each year. We enjoy seeing new folks coming in to try us for the first time, and it’s a great opportunity for us to introduce fresh new ideas, while not forgetting the signature dishes that got us where we are today.”

— JASON IWATSURU, MARKETING DIRECTOR AT SEVERINO’S BAR & GRILL

“I think it has lasted and will continue to go on because it has everything to do with supporting each other and our local businesses. I myself have attended different restaurants and enjoyed their menu options during Restaurant Week. This year I’m proud of being on the other side of it and hope for people to come out and enjoy a good meal!” — BETTY ALEJANDRE, SOUS CHEF AT STONEHOUSE BAR & GRILL

SANTA CRUZ RESTAURANT WEEK

“Restaurant Week has been an awesome addition to the Santa Cruz community. It’s something where everyone can go out to enjoy themselves and just try out new places. Growing up in Santa Cruz, I have learned that we are super big on supporting local businesses, which to me is awesome! Who wouldn’t want to do that? Restaurant Week, along with other things like Burger Week, are what make up Santa Cruz—supporting the local businesses.”

“Restaurant Week is so popular because of Santa Cruz. It’s an amazing place to be. You have the beautiful beaches and the mountains—you’re surrounded by beauty.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND LINDSIE FEATHERS

In August, Lindsie Feathers relocated to Santa Cruz from Portland, where she lived for over a decade and played many gigs. She even recorded a self-titled album with her band Neon Renaissance.

OCTOBER 10-16, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

She didn’t come here to play music, but a friend who found out that Feathers would be living here invited her to open a show at the Crepe Place. Right around the same time, Feathers met Santa Cruz legend Patti Maxine, and asked if she’d sit in for this show. Just like that, Feathers was part of the local scene.

“I was like wow, Santa Cruz is really opening their arms to me in this really wonderful way. In a short amount of time, I felt really welcomed here,” Feathers says. “Every time I say, ‘Music, I’m leaving you,’ it’s like, ‘No, you’re not.’ It comes back creeping in. And I welcome it lovingly.” Feathers’ roots go back to Illinois, where she grew up, and Chicago, where she cut her teeth playing live music. She’s gone from playing rock ’n’ roll to psychedelic to psychedelic-country to roots-Americana-influenced music. “The roots and the Americana, the singer-songwriter style, it really resonates with me. My voice is really good in that style,” Feathers says. “I’m going through a personal transformation. My writing is shifting, my performances are different. That’s both scary and exciting.” INFO: 9 p.m., Friday, Oct. 12. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

KIKGAKU MOYO

WEDNESDAY 10/10 ALT-ROCK

MONKS OF DOOM Monks of Doom, an offshoot of Santa Cruz darlings Camper Van Beethoven, debuted The Brontë Pin this year, their first collection of all-new material in 25 years. Most songs are instrumental and improvisational; the heavy bass guitar is reminiscent of ’90s rock, artfully keeping things deep and dark, while King Crimson-esque drums flirt with psychedelia and guitars play coy with prog rock. There’s enough familiarity to make each jam sound almost like your favorite song from decades past. AMY BEE INFO: 8:30 p.m., Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

THURSDAY 10/11 PSYCHEDELIC

KIKAGAKU MOYO Kikagaku Moyo’s music pierces illusions, goes straight for your innermost being, and expands it. That psychedelic expansiveness is baked into every moment of the band’s four albums. Songs morph organically from ethereal sitar ragas to pro-

pulsive krautrock to extended tone passages. In an interview with It’s Psychedelic Baby, drummer Go Kurosawa describes his view of music as separate from art, seeing it as “something more primitive and impulsive, something that brings pleasure to the body and soul.” MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $20/door. 335-2800

JAZZ

ETHAN IVERSON & MARK TURNER Pianist/composer Ethan Iverson continues his post-Bad Plus reinvention with his only California date featuring his duo collaboration with tenor saxophonist Mark Turner. Known for spinning long, captivating lines that dart and twist in unexpected directions, Turner is one of the pervasively influential saxophonists of the past quarter-century, a supremely inventive player who has developed a sound and harmonic vocabulary deeply informed by the tradition but unlike any player before him. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $26.25/adv, $31.50/door. 427-2227.

FRIDAY 10/12 POP

BASIA Did you know Polish singer Basia has an impressive three-octave vocal range? Basia who, you say? Oh, you remember that singer. She had a string of easy-listening, Latin-grooving, jazz vocaling, New Age-y pop hits in the late ’80s and early ’90s (“New Day For You,” “Cruising For Bruising,” “Drunk on Love”). The hits dried up stateside in the mid-’90s, but she’s continued to chart in Poland, including the 2018 hit “Matteo,” which made it to No. 20. But is she still churning out feel-good, romantic earworms, you ask? You better believe it. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $45. 423-8209

ADA VOX Ada Vox broke into the mainstream when she made it to the Top 10 of American Idol this season. What many don’t know is she originally was featured on season 12, appearing as her born personality Adam Sanders. With fabulous style, bouffant hair and the pipes of an angel, Vox charmed audience and judges alike. She will be performing at Hotel Paradox for the Diversity Center’s Moulin Rouge-themed 2018 Gala After Party. The Gala is the Diversity Center’s annual fundraiser for LGBTQ+ programs, and the After Party will also include a drag show, dance floor and performances by Pussycat Doll and Carmit Bachar.

FUNK/BIG BAND

ORCHESTRA GOLD African pop music in the ’60s was a revelatory mix of funk, soul, pop, and psychedelia. Modern Bay Area band Orchestra Gold, led by Malian singer Mariam Diakite, aims to keep this tradition alive, bringing the revolutionary sounds of electric Africa to modern audiences. Orchestra Gold revives the big-band movement from Mali, a time when rock instruments mingled with saxophones, wood flutes and shekeres, vocalizing the sound of a recently liberated nation. OG keep the politics of liberation at the heart of its sound, and this debut performance by the groups is sure to be a stunning one. MH

the NPR Tiny Desk contest this year, maybe a handful of people outside of Sacramento knew who Hobo Johnson was. But the success of this one video literally created his career. Now he’s toured the world and sold out everywhere he’s gone. His approach to rap or folk or indie-rock or whatever the hell he does is extremely creative and more emotionally honest than anything else you’re listening to right now.

POP

SUNDAY 10/14

Emo-punk was big in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Alkaline Trio wasn’t the biggest band to emerge from that era, but they’ve had much more longevity than some of their peers. The group’s debut album, Goddamnit, is a classic drunken “broken heart” punk record, and the band continued to release albums that were both aggressive and emotional. Now it’s 2018, and as so many bands have found, it’s hard to separate the personal and political in the Trump era. On their lastest, Is This Thing Cursed, they sing about depression, the 2016 election and looking forward to the future.

FILM

HUMANS BEHIND THE HEADLINES Chante Adams and Kelvin Harrison Jr. in filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green’s

‘Monsters and Men.’

OCTOBER 10-16, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Living Color

Choices vs. consequences in compelling drama ‘Monsters and Men’ BY LISA JENSEN

ilmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green knows how to get your attention. In the first moments of his contemporary drama, Monsters and Men, a black man is driving down a city street, punching absently at his car radio. When Al Green’s dreamy, “Let’s Stay Together” comes up, the driver grins, relaxes and starts singing along (as do most of us in the audience—in our heads, anyway). We’re with this guy 100 percent. But the mood alters drastically when a police cruiser shows up out the rear window. The driver braces himself, but while he remains courteous and cool as he’s pulled over, the audience goes into panic

mode. Nothing suggests the driver is some kind of criminal. Is this guy we already identify with going to become another tragic statistic in the ongoing war between law enforcement and people of color— whose casualties we read about in the paper almost every day? Fortunately, this encounter has a peaceful resolution, the surprise of which won’t be revealed here. But it sets up the edgy tone of Green’s urban drama, where something horrible might happen to anyone at any moment, for no good reason. Green’s skill is involving us deeply in the lives of three bystanders caught in the metaphorical crossfire. The more we care about them, the

more we agonize over their fates in Green’s compelling tale of choices and consequences in the Black Lives Matter era. Set in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn, the movie introduces Manny Ortega (an excellent Anthony Ramos), who lives with his girlfriend and their toddler daughter in his mom’s apartment. Motivated to better himself to support his family, Manny has just started a new job at the reception desk of a large corporation. But one night, he and his friends stumble upon a tense encounter between police and an unarmed man; Manny switches his phone to video mode just as things turn violent. What should he do? Put himself

and his family at risk by making the video public, or deal with the guilt of staying silent? Meanwhile, a black police officer named Dennis (John David Washington from BlacKkKlansman, in a performance of guarded restraint), also a devoted husband with a young child, has to decide how to respond during an internal police investigation into the nature of the officer who did the shooting—whose reputation within the department is already dubious. The third principal observer is Zyric (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), a high school baseball phenom on the brink of being signed to the majors. His proud single dad is also a cop, who urgently wants his son to grasp his opportunity to get out of the neighborhood. But Zyric must weigh the option of getting involved in his community—the trials of living as a person of color—even if it jeopardizes his ticket out. When Zyric is first introduced—a young man in a hoodie walking home from practice, pulled over by the cops—viewers think at first that it’s Manny, who we have seen pulled over by the police in much the same way in an earlier scene. This is the essence of racial profiling, in which the viewer is invited to participate—do young men of color in hoodies all look alike to the cops? Yet we also see Dennis, his white female partner and two other beat cops join a friendly, impromptu game on a neighborhood basketball court with local youths— putting tribal antagonisms on hold for a few minutes. The brilliant Blindspotting, from earlier this year, also featured the shooting of a black man by police as a key plot element. That movie, set in Oakland, also added hip-hop poetry, blistering dark humor, and unresolved racial tensions between its two protagonists into its volatile mix. While not quite as complex as its predecessor, Green’s movie urges us to delve beneath the headlines and slogans and face the nature of injustice in our dysfunctional society. MONSTERS AND MEN *** (out of four) With John David Washington, Anthony Ramos, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. Written and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. A Neon release. Rated R. 95 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE The ’90s was the Golden Age of arthouse neo-noir, when an upstart filmmaker like John Dahl could make crafty, stylish movies like Red Rock West and The Last Seduction, and David Lynch could do something as weird as Lost Highway without anybody even batting an eye. Bad Times at the El Royale, the story of an all-star cast peeling back their secrets over the course of one night, looks like a throwback to that amazing time. And considering that it’s directed by the guy who did the genredeconstruction masterpiece The Cabin in the Woods, maybe it’s even more. Directed by Drew Goddard. Starring Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm and Chris Hemsworth. (R) 141 minutes. (SP) COLETTE Biopic about the controversial French novelist who wrote Gigi and was also a mime. Nobody’s perfect. Directed by Wash Westmoreland. Starring Keira Knightley, Dominic West and Denise Gough. (R) 111 minutes. (SP)

OCTOBER 10-16, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

FIRST MAN The epic story of Neil Armstrong, as played by Ryan Gosling, and the Apollo 11 mission. Hopefully watching Gosling fly to the moon is more interesting than watching him drive. Directed by Damien Chazelle. Co-starring Claire Foy, Jason Clarke and Kyle Chandler. (PG-13) 141 minutes. (SP)

GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN When the trailers for Halloween movies started playing this year, was anybody else confused by the fact that the one for this movie— which does not feature Jack Black, despite the fact that Black starred in the previous Goosebumps movie— always played right after the one for The House with a Clock in its Walls, which does feature Jack Black? Even more confusing—despite not being in the preview, Black actually does return as R.L. Stine for this second installment in the “spooky books come to life” franchise. Of course he does! He’s in every movie now. (PG) 90 minutes. (SP) THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN Robert Redford has said that this

crime comedy about Forrest Tucker, a real-life hood who escaped from prison 18 times (including San Quentin) and pulled off some highly theatrical heists, will be his last film. Directed by David Lowery. Co-starring Casey Affleck, Danny Glover and Sissy Spacek. (PG-13) 93 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.

the age of government-supported white supremacists to the way it plays with questions of racial identity (as in Sorry to Bother You, an AfricanAmerican 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)

A STAR IS BORN I know, I know, everybody loves Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, and they sing their own songs in this movie blah blah blah. Here’s my bottom line: you want to complain about Hollywood making endless origin stories about the same comic book characters, and in general recycling plots over and over? They have done A Star is Born like five times. And it is always the same damn movie, all the way back to when it was Janet Gaynor and Fredric March 80 years ago. A. Star. Gets. Born. Besides, is it really going to get any better than Babs Streisand and Kris Kristofferson mildly heating up the screen in the 1976 version, supported by a young, not-yet-totally-nuts Gary Busey? OK, probably. But still! Directed by Cooper, starring Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott and thankfully not Busey. (R) 135 minutes. (SP)

FAHRENHEIT 11/9 No matter what side of the political “aisle” you're on, you'll come away from this new Michael Moore documentary in a fighting mood. It’s a companion piece to Moore's 2004 doc, Fahrenheit 9/11, about George W. Bush in the wake of the Twin Towers attack. But this time, Moore’s principal target is the current occupant of the White House with plenty of outrage to spare for other issues, like the contamination of the water supply in Moore's hometown of Flint, Michigan. Or the ongoing crisis of gun violence in America, leading a band of teenage survivors of the Parkland shootings to organize a global protest march to school their ineffectual elders. As usual, Moore is preaching to the choir, but his relentless drive to connect the dots between past transgressions and current crises and expose the bad guys is as revitalizing as ever — especially in this era of lockstepping conformity among the political establishment of both parties. It’s a scorching portrait of a nation on the brink of utter chaos. (R) 128 minutes. (LJ)

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 African-American police detective who infiltrated David Duke’s Ku Klux Klan in 1979, screams “comeback film” in every way. From its cultural relevance in

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)

He can act excited, very excited, overly excited, angrily excited, unbelievably excited, and nerve-wrackingly excited. But now, for this comedy about a high-school dropout who attempts to go back to school and get his GED from an unorthodox teacher, he adds yet another dimension to his acting arsenal: studiously excited. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee. Co-starring Tiffany Haddish, Taran Killam and Keith David. (PG-13) 111 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)

VENOM I’m confused—didn’t Venom used to be a bad guy? He certainly looks like a bad guy, especially with that freaky CGI and the latest version of Tom Hardy’s Evil Voice. I mean, I suffered through Spiderman 3 just like everybody else—Venom was definitely a bad guy! But here as portrayed by Hardy and a lot of gigabytes worth of computer generation, he seems to be kind of an anti-hero, who maybe does good things, despite being partially controlled by a seemingly illtempered alien symbiote? Directed by Ruben Fleischer. Co-starring Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed and Scott Haze. (PG-13) 112 minutes. (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

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.

FOOD & DRINK and many patrons under the age of 40 will be fascinated to discover a relic from the photographic Time Before Instagram. The compact coffeehouse-in-a-box is truly a sparkling addition to the Westside. The menu outside offers patrons a quick glimpse of possibilities, even a pumpkin spice latté for six bucks. A stack of fresh pastries offers further temptation. “We make them in-house at the downtown Lulu’s,” says Sinath. But I have to say that creamy egg bite was a revelation. The one I sampled was laced with cheddar, tarragon, and red pepper. There’s another version with bacon. Morning protein for $4! A brilliant advance on the monotonous “breakfast sandwich” concept. Ditto the house egg and Applewood-smoked bacon on a biscuit, with sriracha aioli. All your favorite coffee drinks—and more—are here in this small, welldesigned emporium at 930 Almar, Santa Cruz. Open 5 a.m.-2 p.m. daily. lulucarpenters.com/westside.

Lulu’s in a Box

New Lulu’s outpost sets up in vintage Fotomat on the Westside BY CHRISTINA WATERS

rust the ever-ingenious Manthri Sinath to convert a vintage 8 x 4 foot Fotomat into a sleek, state-of-theart coffee depot. Lulu’s Westside is a bright, shiny, six-week-old wraparound, drive-by godsend to those in need of breakfast, pastry, and caffeine. Holding down the very tip of Almar & Mission (in the U-Save parking lot) the latest jewel in the Lulu’s tiara makes custom espresso drinks and serves up house-baked pastries to a host of grateful Westside neighbors—as well as tourists, bicycle clubs,

yoga aficionados, telemarketers, students, and realtors. After the success of Lulu’s Midtown, “we learned how valuable the drive-thru feature was,” Sinath explains, while whipping up a macchiato at the gleaming espresso machine that fills one-third of the little kiosk. At the opposite wall is a prep area with refrigerator, counter, microwave, and tiny toaster oven. Glass windows fold out to create an open-air ambiance as patrons—in cars, on bikes or on foot—watch their favorite coffee drink being finessed. A true wraparound coffee kitchen, the newest Lulu’s is a tribute to

streamlined space management. Explaining that the former photo dispensary turned coffee kiosk had to be refurbished and custom-appointed, Sinath offers me a delectable little Sous Vide Egg Bite ($4) to try, while he whips up coffee for a patron in a gigantic Hummer. “I like doing interesting things,” the entrepreneur confesses. “And usually at a slight angle to the universe.” The original metal building is still there, under the Lulu’s chartreuse graphics. “These things are like art projects,” he says. In fact, this ingenious little facility is practically a landmark restoration,

Here’s the perfect excuse to try out some of the menu items at HOM, housed in the former Hoffman’s at 1102 Pacific Ave.: the energizing and sassy “Santa Cruz Fatbabies” exhibition of paintings by Ashley Yujin Roberts. Painted with loads of style, confidence, and bright colors on wood, the artworks feature plump and highly athletic babies with haircuts very reminiscent of those worn by a certain Korean head of state. These playful characters are shown jumping and surfing on stylized waves, among fish, chrysanthemums, leaping bunnies, and lots of other outrageously imaginative scenarios, many drawn from Korean folklore. If you don’t fall in love with these fatbabies by Ashley Yujin Roberts, AKA Ashley Yeo, you might not be breathing. Her show is up at HOM Korean Kitchen until Halloween.

’ve never felt more conflicted about covering a culinary business in this town than I do about Tacos El Chuy. After eating dozens of Jesus Falcon’s tacos over many months, it still wasn’t an easy decision to write about them. Because, here’s the thing—Tacos El Chuy are the best. They’re so good that I want to keep them all to myself. Approach his operation at a local brewery, and you’ll be confronted with a white-board menu of half a dozen options for fillings ranging from $2.50 to $3. I always order the al pastor. The marinated pork, topped with a whole pineapple, roasts nearby on a vertical spit, and as Falcon prepares the tacos he slices off bits of the caramelized meat, tosses it on a griddled tortilla and finishes it with a warm, juicy slice of pineapple, finely diced onions, cilantro and grilled onions. It’s incredible as is, but if you’re not afraid of a little spice, the flavors are enhanced by the nearby housemade condiments. I add one or two of Falcon’s green and red salsas and a generous sprinkling of escabeche,

but be careful—the slivers of orange in the pickled onion mixture are habanero pepper. Too much of a good thing can lead to an eye-watering, mouth-numbing experience. Falcon’s tacos are the kind of good that makes you close your eyes and feel the stress of the day leave your shoulders. I eat them every week instead of going to yoga, and I swear I have reached the same meditative state. Falcon learned how to make them in his home state of Querétaro, Mexico, where he says “Each and every person has their own recipe and way to make them.” When he arrived in the U.S. two years ago, he tried different recipes and eventually decided to use his own. On their journey, says Falcon, he met two “angels,” Pepe Palacios and Emily Thomas, a brewer and the owner of Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, which hosts Tacos El Chuy every Tuesday and Saturday night. “They gave me the opportunity to really bring up my business,” he says. Falcon will soon be upgrading Tacos El Chuy from a pop-up to a food truck.

was spending the night at a friend’s house after her surgery, only to find out she was out of wine—so I dashed over to Deer Park Wine & Spirits to get a bottle to enjoy with some split pea soup she’d made ahead of time for dinner. I found just the thing to pair with the hearty soup and crusty bread—a reasonably priced DeVincenzi Cellars Cabernet Franc for about $20. It’s a good buy for a well-made wine—and after a long day spent in the hospital’s waiting room, a glass of Cab Franc never tasted so good. DeVincenzi Cellars is a small familyowned winery located in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Winemaker Frank Virgil has infused a touch of passion into his 2014 Cabernet Franc, along with a subtle licorice and violet nose and a full-bodied cherry-brandy oak finish.

We have begun many months of planetary (Venus and Mercury) retrogrades. Venus, the Evening then Morning Star, has retrograded in Scorpio. Venus began its retrograde Oct. 5 (11 degrees Scorpio) and continues until Nov. 15 (when Mercury begins its retrograde). Venus retrogrades every 20 months for about 40 days and nights. When planets retrograde, the past reappears, decisions are delayed, plans are set aside for reflection and assessment and all areas and subjects associated with the retrograde planets are reviewed in order to either renew, revitalize or set them aside forever. With Venus retrograde we assess what we love, our intelligence, money, relationships (lovers, partnerships, friends), possessions and values. With Venus in Scorpio retrograde, we review what we share with others. Venus represents the intelligent heart, and the emergence of the Love principle.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

Cosmo D’s Outrageous Edibles are the synergistic result of one man’s love for cannabis and 25 years as an Executive Chef.

You will assess and reassess your professional life and work in the world. Be sure not to do less than is expected. Pay attention and complete all tasks. This isn’t your greatest strength but it’s important now that projects be on time, that negotiations go smoothly, that you do your very best and more the next several months. Review goals. Do you like your work? Are you challenged? Are you dutiful? These are important questions.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Venus is your guardian angel (also for Gemini, Capricorn and Pisces). But Venus likes you best. Sh, don’t tell! On your mind are ways to safeguard your future, visions and dreams of creating a refuge, teaching and creating realities that are new. Consider how your values and beliefs affect relationships. Do they help or hinder? Do they include others’ thoughts, ideas and needs? Building a fence around a garden may be a necessity.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

You may be concerned with resources, values and sharing thoughts, ideas and feelings. Nothing about this Venus retrograde is light for you. Love calls you to be kind and patient. To be honest about finances, resources, desires, intimacy and relationships. Are you studying the mysteries yet? At some point you will commit to this. Then your life will change. You may look back for a while. Remembering things past. Then they fly away.

Evaluating daily tasks, you ask are they effective and efficient? Increased technical work skills affect work routines. Expect challenges in communication and understanding due to Venus retrograde. Notice if animals begin to feel unease, agitated or become ill. Look after your health. Go slower than usual. Know that rest is good and all that happened in your past also was good. There was love.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Creating a winter garden, beginning a creative project, visiting museums and galleries, choosing to be playful instead of serious, remembering generous moments from the past, reconnecting with loved ones—these and more are part of your life the next several months. They have already begun, actually. Consider changing the way you ask for affection. Expressing it more is one way.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 You will experience an interesting state of insulation

Venus turns knowledge (Jupiter, the Father) into intuition and wisdom (Pallas Athena, emerging knowledge, the mind of her father, Jupiter). Venus resolves duality (through right knowledge), promotes diplomacy (Libra) and establishes Right Human Relations, created through intentions for Goodwill. Venus coordinates our intelligence so that we can choose acts of Goodwill, which creates Right Relations. This is a new concept of Love for humanity. When Venus is retrograde, the value of things is confused. Prices may be too high or too low. Again, discernment is needed in all interactions. Also, the midterm elections (Nov. 6) will occur during this Venus retrograde cycle. When public events occur during retrograde times, we are often surprised by the outcomes. the next several months. You will ponder upon many things—the state of your home, the foundations of your life, your parents, especially mother. You’re both mental and sentimental. As you sustain and nourish others you’ll need to hide away, hibernate a bit for study, retreat, warmth and comfort. Tranquility will be your aim. Forgiveness the outcome.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Your mind expands exponentially through study, training, travel, culture and the mysteries. One study particularly important is the Electric Universe. It seems our present scientific systems are all wrong. Gravity isn’t holding us together. Electricity is. Studying this subject of the electrical universe places you on the very edge of the new reality. Continue to visualize your dream/vision. It comes quietly on little cat’s feet.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Feelings of nobility within solitude appear. You’ve been mentally active, engaged, diligent and industrious for so long. Now it’s time to retreat a bit, have late afternoon tea, cultivate trusting friendships, and assess resources slowly and cautiously with a sense of gratitude. An internal shift eventually rebalances your energy, helps organize your future. You will see goals clearly and visualize how to reach those goals. Learn archery.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 At times you feel restless, realizing something’s changing foundationally in your life, perhaps your self-identity and your usual ways of being. You will experience your natural and familiar winter identity as Persephone (both female and male Capricorns) underground in the world of Pluto. You’re deeply internal. Make sure you have baskets and baskets of pomegranates. They keep you alive and well and in touch with the Mother.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 There are four rulers of Aquarius. The dour strict ruleoriented Saturn (old ruler) who criticizes a lot. The revolutionary Tesla-like newbie Uranus creating new rhythms and the Aquarian Age. The loving wise teacher, Jupiter. And the lightning-like revelatory genius Uranus (again). Which would you like to be? Knowing the rulers of each sign and what their tasks are allows us to assume different identities. Blending Uranus and Jupiter is good. When we’re Saturn we scare everyone. Jupiter loves you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Be caring and kind to everyone. Have intentions to bring harmony to all relationships and interactions. This is to be your goal. You may reconnect with past friends and lovers. There are several you would like to see, talk with, create new friendships with. This may or may not happen. Many are on another path. Be generous, helping those in need. Everyone is in need of something sometime. Discover it. Offer it. Have patience and faith. Protect yourself in all ways, more so than usual.

Provoking thought since 1990 Picking up the thread…. Sellers have selective memories. Fluid understandings about the market and how it works. When things are going well, the machinations of the market seem obvious. When the cycle shifts, the message morphs into a mystery they just can’t seem to fathom. Do the market’s dynamics function differently in different markets? Is that why a Seller’s ability to “get it” vacillates between such extremes? My own perspective is that the market is an extremely honest feedback system. It tells the truth and delivers a consistent message in every market cycle. Rather, it’s the gap between people’s expectations and results that tends to fluctuate wildly in different markets. Since expectations arise in the non-rational regions of the brain and results are usually interpreted through the lens of our emotions, both are easy avenues for disconnect. To help Sellers adjust to the shift that’s going on right now, here’s one fundamental truth about real estate that everyone should hold to be self-evident: at the right price, everything sells. (Yes, it really is that simple.) If you are one of those Sellers whoís struggling to figure out what the market is saying, here are the six most important ways it is talking directly to you: Open Houses: How many people are attending your open houses? 10? 50? 100? If you don’t know, find out. If you aren’t having open houses, you’re blowing it. The primary audience for Santa Cruz hails from over the hill and weekends are when buyers come. Showings: Is your house being shown independently outside of those opens? How many separate showings have you had? Have some Agents brought the same clients through more than once? If you don’t know, find out. Days on Market: Has your listing been on the market for less than a few weeks? Or more than 30 days? If you’ve already reduced your price, how many days have gone by since you dropped it? If you don’t know, find out. Feedback: What are buyers and agents saying about your house? What recurring observations are being voiced? If you aren’t hearing the feedback from agents and buyers, your agent isn’t doing their job. Find out. Request for Reports: How many buyers’ agents have actually asked to see the collection of reports and disclosures that your agent has hopefully worked so hard to help you compile? Find out. Offers: Have you had offers? Even low ones? Hopefully you know the answer. These are all the ways the market communicates. In every kind of market. Next week, we’ll discuss how you can interpret the fundamental truth about your price, after you’ve gathered all the feedback.

Occupation: TRE trainer, trecalifornia.com Hobbies: Dancing, yoga, travel, languages Astrological Sign: Sagittarius What’s CTE ? It’s a simple technique that releases pain and trauma from the body. Interesting… so who or what first brought you to Shopper’s? A friend.We were both living in Live Oak at the time. I recall being pleasantly surprised with Shopper’s overall quality and good pricing. For unique or gourmet items, which Shopper’s has in abundance, I expect to pay more, but even those products are reasonable. I love Shopper’s wine — great variety — and seafood! That’s what my friend originally recommended to me.All their products have been consistently good over the years.

What do you like to cook? Mostly healthy foods. I keep things simple because of my schedule — and whatever I make has to be quality. Sometimes I’ll cook Italian or Indian dishes, and I’m a big salad and veggie eater. Occasionally, I’ll get some chicken, but in my opinion, Shopper’s seafood just might be the best in town! Their organic produce is comparable to any health food store and the pricing is very fair. Shopper’s has some terrific olive oil and vinegar selections, and I’m a fan or their organic, fair-trade chocolates. Shopper’s is an important community business, and I like that it has a history.

Its history is important to you? Yes. I’m from Italy and everything in this country is relatively new. I appreciate that Shopper’s is family-owned and has been around since 1938.That appeals to me. Shopper’s is a major part of the tapestry of the community. It’s a more personal market.The wooden floors are stylish, and I like the store size— it’s not tiny but just right. Shopper’s is about the same size as the average Italian grocery market.The people working here are gentle and helpful, and will go out of their way to assist you. I feel welcomed when walking in. The checkers and butchers are all very nice.
