OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Before I get into this week’s issue, I want to acknowledge Hugh McCormick, who did a fantastic piece for us about the impending closure of the Second Story Peer Run Respite House (“The End of the Story,” GT, 9/12). You may not have noticed one detail briefly mentioned in our follow-up story last week: the private donors who came together to contribute enough money to pay off a state loan on the Aptos property and ensure the mental health facility will remain open specifically credited Hugh’s piece as the reason they did so. What I loved about that article was the way he laid out exactly what the human cost of the Second Story closure would have been, and clearly the donors felt the same way. It’s great news! Congratulations to the hard-working staff who support Second Story.

OPEN STREETS, CLOSED MINDS

Wouldn’t it be nice if our community was safe for biking, walking, and skateboarding every day instead of a few times a year? Santa Cruz County ranked first for wrecks with cyclists involving injury or death in 2015, the latest rankings from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Considering these bicycle safety statistics, it’s disconcerting that Bike Santa Cruz County’s (BSCC) vision states, “Bicycling in Santa Cruz County is a safe, respected, convenient, and enjoyable form of transportation and recreation for people of all ages and abilities.” Greenway acknowledges that our county is not yet safe for biking. We need to look beyond painting the street, giving helmets to children, and teaching bicycle safety, and focus on physically protecting bicyclists. The City of Watsonville has adopted a Vision Zero goal to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing

Also, I want to mention that we’re looking to satisfy your thirst for knowledge about the hows and whys of our county’s natural world. In a new collaboration with the Science Communication Program at UCSC, GT is inviting readers to submit science or environment questions for the program’s grad students to answer as a course assignment. We’ll publish their responses to the best questions. Send yours to me at steve@goodtimes.sc. OK, now to the issue at hand. All I have to say about Wallace Baine’s cover story this week is it made a Jaron Lanier believer out of me. After hearing the title of his latest book, Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, I was skeptical. After all, a lot of people are telling us all to get off the internet, for a lot of reasons. I wondered if he had anything truly new or insightful to add. But as it turns out, he absolutely does. Give the story a read, and see if you agree. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

safe, healthy and equitable mobility for all. The City of Santa Cruz has considered Vision Zero but has yet to approve it. While BSCC and Greenway both envision a climate-friendly community where more people choose bikes and public transit over cars, Greenway is advocating for more realistic, affordable, and meaningful solutions with the potential to help alleviate gridlock soon. If we table the unfunded passenger rail idea, we could railbank the corridor, recycle the tracks, and build a greenway designed to separate faster and slower modes with money already allocated in Measure D. This wide, effective trail could become the backbone of a countywide bicycle and pedestrian network. Such a network combined with a modern, effective bus system would be a cost-effective, achievable transportation plan for our county. Greenway was not at last Sunday’s Open Streets. We were again denied participation in this Bike Santa Cruz County (BSCC) event. The fact that BSCC, a nonprofit operating a program on public streets with grant funding from the Regional >8

BROAD-BASED

ROOM TO IMPROVE

Santa Cruz County officials are preparing to host their second Broadband Service Forum, which will give residents a chance to ask about existing and upcoming services. Residents will get a brief overview of county efforts to expand broadband, and will also be able to meet representatives from at least six internet providers. The forum will be at Aptos Junior High School on Oct. 18, 6-8 p.m.

A recent Smart Solutions to Homelessness workshop drafted new ways to communicate messages surrounding homelessness. Rather than thinking of homelessness as “unsolvable,” for instance, locals might instead focus on the need to fix known problems. Instead of saying “not in my backyard,” residents could say, “I am an ally.” For more information, go to smartsolutionstohomelessness.com.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 17 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Humraaz is a word in the Urdu language. Its literal meaning is “secret sharer.” It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you can confess your core feelings. Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever’s necessary to attract him or her into your sphere. A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Taurus author Roberto Bolaño suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty “is only visible to those who love.” When he speaks of “those who love,” I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hard-working servants of the greater good, and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you’re in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world’s beauty. For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love.

GEMINI May21–June20 Once upon a time you were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, “I’m willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don’t have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me.” You asked the fairy, “What would those three tasks be?” She replied, “The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs. The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allowing you to shave his bushy beard.” You laughed and said, “What’s the first task?” The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, “You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd.”

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 You Crabs tend to be the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world’s largest collections of antique door knobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators. But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that’s really useful to you. Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Chinese mythology tells us there used to be 10 suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement. The week had 10 days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once. It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You now have maximum command of a capacity that’s a great strength but also a potential liability: your piercing brainpower. To help ensure that you wield this asset in ways that empower you and don’t sabotage you, here’s advice from four wise Virgos. 1. “Thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it.” — psychotherapist Anthony de Mello. 2. “Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” —poet Mary Oliver.

3. “I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way.” —actor and writer Stephen Fry. 4. “I wanted space to watch things grow.” —singer Florence Welch.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time,” wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. “The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer.” That’s the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you. But here’s the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it. You’ll feel vindicated, illuminated, and resolved.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Many seekers who read horoscope columns want common-sense advice about love, career, money, and power. So I hope I don’t disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won’t merely be an entertaining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money, or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be “A Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Practical Magic.:

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In 1962, when she was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You’ll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You’ll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The Committee to Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We’re grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints. I know it’s a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? We need your steadiness more than ever.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 You need a special pep talk that’s best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” 2. “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.” 3. “You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to believe you have it.” 4. “Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” 5. “The learning process is something you can literally incite, like a riot.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Warning: My horoscopes may interfere with your ability to rationalize your delusions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for clichés; they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you really should express; and they may influence you to cultivate the state of awareness known as “playful wisdom.” Do you really want to risk being exposed to such lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop reading now. But if you’re as ripe for emancipating adventures as I think you are, then get started on shedding any attitudes and influences that might dampen your urge to romp and cavort and carouse.

Homework: Forget all you know about gratitude. Act as if it’s a new emotion you’re tuning into for the first time. Then let it rip.

Ayurvedic medicine explains seasonal shift on body and mind BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

h, fall, with its dry Indian summer days and golden light, and its basement of secrets. It’s the time of year, some say, when the veil between the living and dead is at its thinnest. Surely, it’s the season when the passage of time is felt most potently. And just when the sense of nostalgia and foreboding starts to darken the days’ edges, pumpkin spice everything emerges from its dormancy. As do viruses and bugs. In Ayurvedic medicine, the autumn transition is a powerful time for adjustments to keep the body and mind healthy. “Just like the cold and the hot in the air creates rainfall, the same thing is happening internally,”

says Manish Chandra of Santa Cruz Ayurveda. “We have accumulated a lot of heat in the summer. Confronted with this cold front in the fall, the body creates mucus. We are nothing but nature, and our bodies are reflecting nature.” Ah, mucus. A valuable component of the immune system, this fall secretion defends against viruses, which, like most evil things, are incubated by the cold. The gut is the body’s ultimate epicenter for immune defense, and in Ayurveda, the fall is a time to prepare the body’s digestive fire, or agni, to burn a bit hotter. “We are preparing the body for the harsh winter,” says Chandra. “From eating salads and lighter cold foods at night, we are starting to cook warm,

nourishing foods—root vegetables and grounding foods.” Accumulating some extra weight this time of year is considered an acceptable buffer by Ayurvedic standards, but it’s a cautious green light: no more than can be shed in spring. Ayurveda’s panchakarma—a 21-30day detox that involves sweats, yoga, meditation, multiple-handed massages, enemas, and eating for one’s dosha—is traditionally set for fall and spring. It’s a total reset that Chandra, who will soon be enduring panchakarma in India, says can’t really be done in a few days. Chandra typically works with patients for at least six months in his Gut Healing Protocol program, which is customized to

each individual’s doshic balance. But one of panchakarma’s primary intentions—to detox the body’s ama, or toxins built up in fat cells from undigested food—can be achieved through dietary shifts. Warming foods, explains Chandra, refers to their post-digestive effect. Unlike summer’s watermelon, mint, cilantro and fennel, he says, spices like cumin, fenugreek, clove, mustard seeds, cinnamon, and ginger have a warming effect on agni. Could this explain mainstream America’s ravenous appetite for pumpkin spice everything? While the long list of ingredients used in Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte includes, as of two years ago, actual pumpkin puree, it also includes about 49 grams of sugar—and the only real spices are those dashed on top. Chandra is not actually against sugar, but at such high doses, it’s downright harmful. We crave sugar because of stress, which depletes the doshic principle of vata, says Chandra. “And two, because we are not getting enough healthy fat. Fat burns like a log, and sugar burns like kindling,” says Chandra. Healthy fat, like ghee—“the best, if we are doing dairy”—curbs our cravings for more instant gratification. One crisp morning after I speak with Chandra, I make his recipe for chai tea—a surefire stand-in for the sugar-laden grande to-go. Spilling often across my friend Annica Rose’s kitchen counter, I measure half-teaspoons of fennel seed, black pepper, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and a generous grate of fresh ginger and (improvised) nutmeg. After the pungent mixture simmers for 10 minutes, add black tea, nut milk (or milk of your choice) and a dab or five of raw honey. Strain and serve. Only after I pour the steaming liquid into two mugs does Annica open her cupboard to reveal a secret, along with a burst of contagious laughter, that anybody reading this far deserves: a jar of chai tea spices already mixed and ready to go from Staff of Life’s bulk bins.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY DISTRICT 4 SUPERVISOR

CAPITOLA CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR THREE)

GREG CAPUT

JACK DIGBY

In the June primary, County Supervisor Greg Caput won 32 percent of the vote, and he will once again face Councilmember Jimmy Dutra. Caput hadn’t originally planned to run again, having advocated for a two-term limit for board seats, but he says he was swayed by his supporters. If re-elected, he says he’ll remain committed to the Pajaro River flood protection project, and that he wants to further increase affordable housing and local veterans services. “Even though I am on the short end of votes 4-1 on the board, it’s important someone speaks up and represents other opinions,” Caput says. “Because a minority opinion today might be the majority opinion later in the future.”

After losing to Jimmy Panetta for a congressional seat two years ago, Digby decided to go more local in 2018. “I got a lot more positive vibes from my community than I thought I would in that race, so when this cycle came around for City Council, I decided to run,” he says. A Navy veteran and ironworker, Digby is a no-partypreference candidate, and prefers to identify as a capitalist reformer. He would like to see resources for homelessness diverted to other county priorities, and have Capitola focus on supporting the middle class, struggling families and the elderly. He originally opposed Greenway’s Measure L initiative to prevent rerouting the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail off the railroad tracks. He has since reversed his position after doing more research, and now supports the measure, arguing that a train station wouldn’t be coming to Capitola any time in the near future, anyway.

JIMMY DUTRA

Watsonville City Councilmember Jimmy Dutra ran for this seat in the 2014 June primary, when he lost to Caput and Terry Medina. After graduating from USC’s school of public policy and serving nearly four years on the council, Dutra says he’s more ready than ever. “People have had major road issues, and there has been no attention brought to that,” he says. Dutra is the first openly gay Watsonville councilmember. If elected, he’d like to see more revenue going to Watsonville and other South County areas, saying that though Watsonville is home to Driscoll’s, Granite Construction, West Marine and Martinelli’s, there isn’t a comparable return of tax

SAM STOREY

Former Capitola Mayor Storey ran for office as a write-in candidate in 2016 and lost by only seven votes. “I have my name on the ballot this time, which is good,” Storey says. “The voters will be able to see my name and hopefully I’ll have a better chance at prevailing.” Storey, who’s also an attorney, would like to see the new Capitola Mall developers focus on dining, entertainment and the performing arts, rather than retail. He pictures a space with a variety of uses and local businesses,

as well as a feeling similar to that of Capitola Village. Storey supports Greenway’s Measure L initiative, saying that Capitola needs a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists. A supporter of the Measure H housing bond, he would like to see Capitola be a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of income level. YVETTE BROOKS

Brooks managed the 2016 campaign for Martine Watkins, who is currently vice mayor of Santa Cruz—now she’s running her own. Brooks says she brings a perspective not currently represented on the council—that of mothers, new homeowners and young working families. Brooks works at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education. She supports Measure J, the transient occupancy tax measure, which would slightly boost money for children’s early education programs from taxes on hotel rooms and short-term rentals. “If we invest early in children, we will get the largest return in the future,” she says. “I want to make families a priority, and put families first.” JACQUES BERTRAND

In running for re-election, Councilmember Bertrand says he wants to make a difference in residents’ lives in tangible ways, like ensuring permanent support for the Capitola Junior Lifeguards Program and establishing a plan to sustain and rebuild the wharf. “Since elected, I’ve elevated community involvement in decisions—both behind the scenes and up front—to make sure people have a voice in the decisions that affect their lives,” Bertrand says. He supports Measure L, arguing that it will give residents more of a voice in future decision

making. He also supports funding housing for the homeless, adding that it’s an important component of addressing the crisis.

SCOTTS VALLEY CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR TWO) STEPHANY AGUILAR

Aguilar, who’s served on the Scotts Valley City Council since 1998, has compiled a long résumé—having served as president of the League of California Cities and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments. A 48-year resident, Aguilar says her experience working on regional efforts and statewide policy has shown her how interconnected California’s communities are. Although she generally supports the long-discussed Town Center plan, she has voted differently than her colleagues on the direction, suggesting that the mixed-use housing project needs more retail than has been planned thus far. “We need a good balance of those elements,” she says. JIM REED

Mayor Reed knows something about local government, and not just from his 11 years on the Scotts Valley City Council. Reed, a lifelong Republican, is also the chief of staff for San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a lifelong Democrat. Reed says he agrees with 90 percent of what Liccardo does, largely because of how Liccardo does it. “Oftentimes, one of the least important things you do on the council is vote on the dais,” he says of local government. “A far more important element is how you engage.” A supporter of the council’s direction on the Town Center project, he wants to see the town grow in a responsible way that’s consistent with Scotts Valley’s character.

NEWS SEAT SHEET <12 is we don’t have term limits. There’s probably never a good time, because you’re just waiting for someone to retire out. Sometimes it’s good to bring in fresh energy,” says Timm, who has earned an endorsement from Mayor Reed. Timm, a Scotts Valley planning commissioner, first got civically involved in 2010, when he started Save Our Schools. He led a successful bond measure campaign in 2012, and he’s leading another one this year with Measure K. One of his strengths, he says, is his skill as a communicator—bringing people together to discuss the issues and helping them stay informed.

SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR THREE) PAIGE CONCANNON

Once a week, Seabright resident Concannon is a day manager for the St. Francis Catholic Soup Kitchen. Concannon, who worked for 10 years as a chef at Santa Cruz County Juvenile Hall, says the city needs to crack down on property crime and start handling its “criminal homeless” population more aggressively. She says she does feel for transients who are mentally ill or just down on their luck. “But then you have these guys who really make it hard for everybody else,” she says. As for solving the problem, she says, “it’s a lot of little things, but all those little things are adding up to what the problems are.” PHILIP CRAWFORD

Attorney Crawford has been politically involved for decades over the hill, where he taught at San Jose City College. Crawford first started getting involved locally last year, when he and his fellow neighbors from the Friends of West Cliff group began questioning the placement of Santa Cruz’s coastal Jump Bike docks. On public safety, Crawford says he would like to see the police do more communityoriented policing, when cops go the extra mile to get to know residents on their beats. He believes the city should get a bigger portion of mental health funding, as well. “We

should be getting our lion’s share, and I don’t think we are, from what I hear from the mayor and others,” Crawford says. JUSTIN CUMMINGS

Foremost on Justin Cummings’ mind is the need for rent stabilization to protect tenants. “We need it now,” says Cummings, one of two City Council candidates to support the Measure M rent-control ordinance. He says that many campaign issues come back to the economy. If people cannot find good jobs, that exacerbates problems in both housing and public safety, explains Cummings, who trains young people to be environmental stewards via a UCSC conservation program. The son of a criminal defense attorney, Cummings used to plant community gardens throughout low-income neighborhoods and at the Cook County jail in Chicago, where he grew up. He opposes the downtown parking garage/library project, arguing that the city should focus on reducing car trips instead. CYNTHIA HAWTHORNE

Psychotherapist Cynthia Hawthorne hopes she’ll soon have the opportunity to help lead on mental health issues that affect the whole county. If California’s Proposition 2 passes, the bond will provide a couple of billion dollars toward building affordable housing with on-site social and medical services. “We will have a pot of money, for the first time in a generation, that we could use to make a big difference,” she says. Hawthorne hopes to stop the revolving door for those suffering from mental health issues, including the folks that residents see on the streets of downtown everyday. The city, she says, also needs to build more housing downtown. A leader of the Santa Cruz’s Women’s March, Hawthorne has been inspired to see women get more involved in politics. DREW GLOVER

Activist Drew Glover finished just 500 votes shy of earning a seat on the City Council when he ran two years ago, after a family emergency pulled him away from Santa Cruz in the final stretch of the campaign. This time, he stopped raising money

once he reached about $10,000, as he was uncomfortable with the amount of cash that pours into campaigns and the amount of paper that gets thrown out in the form of mailers from candidates. “It’s so wasteful. My entire kitchen table is covered, literally plastered, right now,” says Glover, the only candidate other than Cummings to support Measure M. He’s focused his energy on talking to voters. Glover says there’s waste in the city government, which he feels needs to better prioritize social services. DAVE LANE

Retired UCSC auditor Lane is running on his experience rooting out financial waste at the university. When GT spoke to him in June, Lane said the Santa Cruz Police Department was overfunded, and he opposed high-density affordable housing. “We just don’t have the water and resources. And we don’t have the room on the streets. I think they want to turn Santa Cruz into San Jose South,” he said. Lane has since added to that, saying it would be better to build housing outside the city limits—and, later, that affordable units should earn subsidies or tax breaks, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Lane didn’t return calls seeking comment for this guide. According to city records, he recently donated $80 to his campaign to print out 800 fliers. GREG LARSON

Former Los Gatos City Manager Larson says he’s running for City Council because Santa Cruz is in need of seasoned leadership. “I’ve been a problem solver across 30 cities,” says Larson, who additionally worked for the cities of Santa Cruz, San Jose and Milpitas, and now works as a consultant. Santa Cruz, he says, is facing ongoing crises in housing and neighborhood safety. He wants to consider hiring new police officers and would like to look at offsetting the costs in the budget, which is already strapped due to increasing pension obligations. Larson says he wants to see the city embrace the San Lorenzo River, rather than turning its back and treating the riparian corridor like it’s a back alley. >16

SEAT SHEET <12 DONNA MEYERS

Environmental consultant Meyers wants to bring her experience in collaboration and securing needed funding to the City Council. She serves on the Parks and Recreation Commission—where she’s helped to oversee the Parks Master Plan— as well as the board for the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, which has grown during her years as board president. Meyers, also the founding director for the Coastal Watershed Council, says the city can bolster the local economy through partnerships to create new jobs. “There’s still a lot of commitment to making Santa Cruz a place for all the people who are here raising their families,” says Meyers. Concerned about housing affordability, she’s a strong supporter of Measure H, the affordable housing bond.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 4 FRANCISCO ESTRADA

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

RICHELLE NOROYAN

The only incumbent in the Santa Cruz City Council race, Noroyan has built her campaign largely around the economy and public safety, issues she campaigned on in past years. Since being elected, she has served on the Homelessness Coordinating Committee, which drafted recommendations that the city is implementing. When she knocks on doors, the one question that Noroyan says voters ask the most is what she thinks of Measure M, which she opposes. Noroyan says that she would support other tenant protections, like outlawing exorbitant rent increases, adding that everyone should work together on housing solutions. “Among landlords and property managers, no one is saying everything is fine the way it is,” she says. “No one has said that to me, no matter if they’re tenant or a property manager or a landlord.” ASHLEY SCONTRIANO

Scontriano envisions a Santa Cruz that’s more “customer-friendly” to local businesses. “I don’t think it would be a big hurdle for our government to change in that way,” she says. “It’s just a mentality shift.” Scontriano says she’s witnessed red tape as a business owner operating

a dog daycare business that got shut down for a zoning code violation, and then in the form of a planning code violation for what she says is a “landscaping project” at her home. Experiences like those, she says, give her a unique insight into what ails city government. On public safety, she wants to find a way to hold low-level convicts accountable for quality-of-life crimes. Scontriano is an ardent opponent of Measure M, having served on the board for Santa Cruz Together, the opposition campaign.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 LOWELL HURST

Current Watsonville Mayor Hurst is running unopposed in his fifth local election, but that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of issues on his mind. Hurst, a former teacher first elected to city council in 1989, says public safety, living-wage jobs and affordable housing have remained priorities throughout his career, but that pushing for a “well-rounded economy” is still a top objective. “We need to dig deep and help solve the housing crisis,” Hurst says, noting that some 300 new units have been approved in recent

Estrada grew up in Watsonville in a family of farm workers, but more and more, he’s noticed fellow locals moving out of town for lower costs of living inland. It’s one factor that motivated the 35-year-old Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust staffer to run for City Council, transforming from a self-proclaimed political cynic into a first-time candidate. “You see election after election that young people don’t vote. Latino people don’t vote,” Estrada says. “I know my city.” An adjunct professor at Hartnell Community College who worked for nine years at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, Estrada lists addressing rising youth diabetes rates and reviving community programs among his top priorities, along with adding living-wage jobs. “The rail trail and fixing Highway 1, these things are Band-Aids,” he says. “The real problem is people need to find jobs.” JENNY T. SARMIENTO

After a career in social services and violence prevention, Boliviato-California transplant Sarmiento is running for the open District 4 seat on a platform of conscientious economic development. Sarmiento, a Watsonville planning commissioner, hopes to encourage an uptick in interest from new businesses while bolstering technical support and resources available to existing small, often Latino-owned businesses. “We have to be cautious that we don’t become so gentrified that we lose the culture of the town,” she says. Addressing homelessness is also top of mind for Sarmiento, who suggests pairing social workers with police to improve outreach, as the city has done to encourage farm workers to report crimes, despite “the ICE situation.”

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 5 CASEY KRAIG CLARK

Clark, challenger to District 5 incumbent Rebecca J. Garcia, is running on a platform of “smart growth” focused on advocating for more reliable infrastructure and job opportunities in the city. “Watsonville is experiencing growth at a record pace,” Clark said in a candidate statement filed with the city. “I vow to ensure our growth is both sustainable and balanced.” In addition to pledging community meetings to discuss large construction projects up for approval, Clark says his profession as a residential care director would also help inform work on public health and mental health. REBECCA J. GARCIA

District 5 Incumbent Rebecca J. Garcia, a former 18-year Pajaro Valley public school teacher and administrator, has served on the Watsonville City Council for four years. In her re-election campaign backed by a broad cross-section of business, labor and Democratic Party groups, Garcia says she intends to continue the work she has already started. “I have volunteered in the city and county for over 35 years,” Garcia says. So far, her approach to policy has been balancing day-to-day local issues like traffic and parking with broader challenges, like advocating for climate action, reaffirming Watsonville’s status as a sanctuary city and implementing regional affordable housing and homelessness plans.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 7 ARI PARKER

Ari Parker traces her roots in the Pajaro Valley back nine generations, to the indigenous Amah Mutsun tribe. The 30-year public school teacher also counts her time on the tribal council—contending with frequent “hurry up and wait” interactions with the federal government—as a key source of experience in her candidacy for the open District 7 council seat in Watsonville.

Ensuring public safety and a high quality of life for local seniors are among District 7 candidate Rivas’ top campaign priorities. With advanced degrees in multilingual education and 30 years under her belt as a teacher in the Pajaro Valley, Rivas still substitutes in local classrooms. In her bid for city council, she cites credentials including four years on the PVUSD school board, eight years on the CALRetired teachers board and two years on the Watsonville Senior Citizens Board. “It’s crucial to have city council members that are informed,” Rivas said in a candidate statement filed with the city.

Former Pajaro Valley teacher and school board member Trujillo is vying for the open council seat in District 7 with an aspirational slogan: “Watsonville Renaissance.” Among his top priorities are counteracting stunted economic opportunity, homelessness and gentrification. “There’s a song, ‘Let Your Little Light Shine.’ That’s what Watsonville needs to do,” he says. “Watsonville for too long has played the poor, unwanted stepchild of Santa Cruz County.” Trujillo, now a frequent front-row attendee at City Council meetings, says he plans to balance local priorities, like fixing damaged levies, with resistance to the Trump administration. “We’re going to form a big, blue wall here, and I hope to be part of that,” he says.

AFTER DECADES OF VOICING SKEPTICISM ABOUT INTERNET UTOPIA, JARON LANIER IS FINALLY FINDING BEING HEARD BY WALLACE BAINE

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ike Jacob Marley in Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, the moldering ghost of psychologist B.F. Skinner haunts the pages of Jaron Lanier’s new self-explanatory manifesto Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. Today, most people might only vaguely recognize Skinner’s name from Psych 101 classes. But in the 1960s and ’70s, Skinner and his work were front and center in the national conversation. Promoting a theory that came to be known as “behavior modification,” Skinner considered humans easily programmable animals, vulnerable to all kinds of manipulation and coercion— mostly beyond conscious reasoning—through a regiment of rewards and punishments. During the Nixon era, Skinner’s ideas were wielded by the left in sometimes apocalyptic

critiques of television and the advertising industry, and by the right against Soviet-style communism: Were people being hypnotized on a mass scale by malevolent outside forces into behaving against their self-interest? Skinner would not recognize the language that we regularly use today to describe contemporary mass communications— trolling, gaslighting, fake news, hatetweeting, hashtags. But the methods and the outcomes of the social-media age, at least according to Lanier, are straight out of Skinner, recast in the terms of modern cognitive brain science. In his well-known provocative and blunt style, Lanier gets right to the point in Ten Arguments’ chapter headings: “Social Media is Making You Into an Asshole,” “Social Media is Making You Unhappy,” “Social Media Hates Your Soul.” 20>

As Lanier points out in his book, Skinner’s theories resulted in a lot of cheesy mind-control themes in movies and pop culture. But it’s only now—a couple of generations later, after the rise of internet culture— that mass manipulation and granular surveillance has become a practical business model. These practices on the part of social-media companies and other internet giants are, he writes, “unethical, dangerous, cruel and inhumane.” On Monday, Oct. 29, Lanier comes to UC Santa Cruz as part of the Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture Series, co-sponsored by UCSC’s Humanities Institute and Bookshop Santa Cruz, with a message that cannot be better articulated than the title of his book. He’s making the case that the social media world robs people of free will, distorts relationships, creates destructive addictions, destroys political compromise and progress, and alters the functioning of the human mind, particularly young and developing minds. The most efficacious way out of this emerging hellscape is to delete your social media accounts. All of them. Permanently. Right now. Lanier is not exactly a voice in the wilderness in his critique of the world that Facebook and Twitter have given us. Since the inflection point of the 2016 election, the voices of protest against online surveillance and manipulation have grown louder and more varied. Former Google product manager Tristan Harris is on a mission to convince the world that smartphones have hacked our brains and made us all addicts. Aza Raskin, the designer who invented “infinite scroll”—the technology that allows users to scroll feeds continuously—now admits to feeling remorse over his technology and asserts that apps are designed to be addictive. High-profile Twitter users are bailing—actor Stephen Fry said he quit Twitter because “too many people have peed in the pool.” Tech industry titans have, to various degrees, expressed regret over what the internet has become.

Even Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg said the words “I’m sorry” while testifying before Congress. But among them all, Jaron Lanier, 58, stands out as a kind of tech elder statesman/prophet. A pioneer in the development of virtual-reality technology, Lanier has in the last decade emerged as a voice of skepticism in tech’s heedless march to a new world order with his books You Are Not a Gadget and Who Owns the Future?. As he sees it, Lanier does not have a political axe to grind—he’s just as likely to critique the socialistic good intentions of an organization like Wikipedia as he is to crack on the centralized ultracapitalism of Facebook. However blunt and outspoken Lanier happens to be, he works to avoid the hot-take, button-pushing rhetoric that has made online life so miserable. He works at Microsoft. He has relationships with people at Google going back decades. He makes sure you know that he is criticizing systems, not people. “There’s a lot of really fine people [in Silicon Valley] who have been caught up in a stupid system,” Lanier tells GT. “They really do have good intent, at least a lot of them. The problem is that we’ve painted ourselves into a very complicated, ridiculous corner, where it’s really tricky to figure out how to improve it. Much of the history of the internet was really about idealistic people who wanted to create a society based more on sharing and volunteerism. But it actually backfired totally, and created this hyper-centralized system that you can’t even call capitalism anymore. It’s kind of a return to feudal times.”

PROCESS ADDICTION Lanier’s critique is specific—he’s not lamenting the nature of the internet, or the fact that everyone is spending too much time on their devices, or even the structure of social media platforms to connect people, or people’s desire to connect digitally. His criticism is aimed squarely at a business model that profits from sophisticated and powerful

see the problem. The key thing is that there were a few people in society who weren’t addicted and they were able to have a different point of view. This is kind of like that. I feel like we need to have some people outside of the addiction system, just to provide some perspective.” The compulsion to participate in social media can be justified in many different ways—from addiction to “FOMO” (Fear of Missing Out) to the perfectly natural curiosity to share information in a social setting. But the results, says Lanier, have been crippling economically, politically and socially. “There is still this bizarre idea that if you share your data through these online systems, you’re creating some sort of fair, socialistic economy,” he says. “When we talk about companies like Uber—it’s ride “share”; share, share, share, as if we’re creating socialism. When in fact, if you look at what actually happens, in terms of the real world and concrete results, more and more money and power concentrates with whoever is closest to the biggest computer running the scheme.” Economics shapes behavior; the “gig economy” has brought the “attention economy,” as online concentration of wealth and power have left many young people in a more precarious position. “Right now, the only thing people can earn online is attention,” says

22>

manipulation of people’s behavior, to which they have little defense. By now, most users know they are being harvested as sources of data. “I don’t think people are being naïve,” says Lanier, “and I don’t think people are being cynical. I think people are being addicted. The service designed by these high-tech companies are deliberately designed to be addictive, at least if you believe some of the people from these companies like Sean Parker, the first president of Facebook.” “Addiction” is a controversial term. Some believe that it can only apply to chemical addiction, like drug addiction or alcoholism. But cognitive science is increasingly coming to the conclusion that “process addictions” like gambling, shopping, sex and internet use, is potentially just as devastating. In fact, process addictions can be seen as chemical addictions when you consider the brain chemistry involved in such behaviors, which includes internal manipulation of dopamine, the brain’s feel-good neurotransmitter, and cortisol, its stress chemical. “We can look at earlier examples when there was mass addiction tied into commercial interest that was detrimental to society,” says Lanier. “A good example for me is cigarette smoking or drunk driving. These two things used to be really common.” In those cases, he says, “all these people were addicted and couldn’t

<21 Lanier. “So people are just trying to get attention. And to do that, they become more horrible and obnoxious. If people were able to get paid in a meaningful way, that would be different. There might still be plenty of horrible and obnoxious stuff, but there would be a lot more people trying to do things that are useful and essential.” Much of the economic inequity inherent in Silicon Valley, according to Lanier, is less a result of robber barons in search of monopolies and

more a perverse result of idealism, as if the creators of the internet designed a commune but built a casino. “We made a huge mistake with this open source/open culture thing. We thought when people shared with each other, things would get more fair. In fact, what’s happened is that other people who weren’t sharing were able to just take advantage of everybody else in order to centralize all this power and now it’s hard to do anything about it.”

Ten Arguments goes well beyond economics. Lanier claims that social media destroys exactly that humanist connective tissue that great art works to create: empathy. Social-media bubbles reinforce tribalism and weaken the impulse to commonality, allowing people to become both victimizers and victims. Even Donald Trump, who is to progressives the walking embodiment of everything awful about the modern age, is a victim, in that he’s an addict of Twitter, and that has shaped his behavior. “Elon Musk is another one,” says Lanier. “It’s exactly the same pattern (as Trump). He became addicted to Twitter. Then he debased himself and started destroying everything.” So could it get worse before it gets better? Lanier is a yes vote on that question. “I think there’s tremendous danger in the United States that there will be some kind of theocratic takeover of companies like Facebook and Google. I could see something like Trump complaining, feeling like everyone in the world is against him because that’s his worldview. Then the government would impose an ethics panel on top of Google and Facebook. We would appoint some respected theologians and it’ll progress just as it has happened in China, some sort of ideological control police on the internet. That might sound paranoid and bizarre, but it sounds like a reasonable and possible future for this country.” Is there a way out? Lanier says that he is not doctrinaire when it comes to systems. None of them are perfect. Entropy always wins. “Humanity has never devised a method of organizing people that hasn’t devolved in some terrible way.” The internet is also crippled, Lanier believes, by its low hurdles to entry. He shared that his wife had been ill of cancer in recent years, and the Laniers’ efforts to find out more information resulted in frustration. “There were some

kinds of information that we really wanted to get online. But there was this gigantic ocean of fakers and scammers and snake-oil people. I’m sure the real information was out there. We just couldn’t get to it because there was too much crap. If it’s infinitely cheap to share your crap to get attention, there’s going to be a lot more crap.” There are models of online systems that work without destroying societal and economic norms. “What I think would be the best system is some kind of cross between Etsy and Kickstarter and Netflix. With Netflix, you realize that, ‘OK, it’s going to be peak TV, so I’ll pay for it. And if I pay for it, I want everybody to know that if they make a video that gets watched a lot, they don’t have to negotiate with YouTube and be chosen by some magical king, and that they are guaranteed a payday.’ Period.” If anything gives Lanier hope, it’s that his skepticism of online culture is no longer such a hard sell. “There was a time, back in the ’80s and ’90s especially, when the opinions I had cost me friends. And it was very difficult. There was just this really intense orthodoxy on how things should be done. At that time, I was the black sheep.” But not lately, he says. “There’s been this astonishing turnaround in recent years. If we go back even five years, when I would be at a college campus—or a high school, for that matter—and talk about some of the concerns I have, people were like, ‘No, you don’t get it. This stuff is wonderful. We love sharing everything.’ But now, there’s not even a space to talk about the criticism, because everybody shares it. At least in the community of young people, we don’t need convincing anymore. We’ve moved on to talk about solutions.”

OWNER, YORK FRAMING GALLERY

Framing art and heirloom pieces is a rewarding and fun job! As a third generation local, I love being part of my hometown in this way. I began as a part time designer for York in 1994. In 2012, one of my clients suggested I buy the failing business, thus I began my 7-day-a-week schedule and I couldn’t be happier. What an education! Moving to the Eastside has provided a perfect location as we meet new clients/ friends every day. I have a valued, talented crew that is more like family, and our camaraderie is a rare gift. My daughter Sophia has followed in my footsteps from designer to now manager, a perfect “Right Hand Woman.” We are also responsible for choosing an artist and designing the official poster for the annual Wharf to Wharf race, which we love.

CANDACE EBERT & COMPANY

Candace Ebert & Company is a locally owned and operated accounting firm started up by Candace Ebert herself. Candace earned her Bachelors Degree in Accounting in 2009 and has over 15 years of Business Management and Accounting experience. At the age of 15, she started her first business — a tutoring business. The tutoring business was one of 8 businesses that Candace has since helped develop. Some of these businesses were sold, merged, and others flat out failed. It was the failures and mistakes that has given Candace the foresight to survive in the business world today, and make a success of Candace Ebert & Company. Candace wanted to use her knowledge and experience in a way that could help local business owners flourish. While she focuses on the accounting, tax, and payroll tasks, business owners can concentrate on what they feel is most important. Candace is deeply concerned about the success of those whom she cares about and works with, therefore this is her way to contribute to making Santa Cruz a place where family and friends can use their time for the more important things in life. We thank you Candace Ebert for your Think-Local-First mentality and for helping Santa Cruz to be a better place.

Gordon didn’t expect that anyone would actually show his game, since at the time it was a bit of an off-hand liability. “I tried to bring it to Burning Man precompression, and the San Francisco fire department turned it down,” he says. But the Santa Cruz Fire Department didn’t (high fives). Hot Hand Luke will be featured in this year’s Glow: Festival of Fire and Light, hosted by the Museum of Art and History (MAH). This will be the first time Gordon shows the SkeeBall game publicly. “As anyone who’s ever gone to Burning Man and seen the fire art there knows, it’s very tactile,” he says. “You feel it from like 10 feet away, you experience it in a way that you don’t experience other art that doesn’t have that physical feedback. It’s really amazing in that way.” “Hot Hand Luke” won’t actually hurt players hands, thanks to some heavy duty Kevlar gloves. The fourinch balls are made from steel, with a central core wrapped in Kevlar-cotton weave wick, dipped in methylated spirits, and ignited. The Santa Cruz Fire Department has tentatively approved it for those age 15 and over, though they could still turn it down when Gordon shows up next weekend. Which would really, really suck. “This isn’t standard by any means,” Gordon says. “It’s a combination of fire art and fire performance. So it’s a more complex

approval process with the fire department. I’m adding some minor safety features to it right now to comply with a few of their requests.” Glow will be spread out around the MAH and Abbott Square, with more digital art, projections, and LED sculptures within the museum and spilling out onto Cooper Street., where the 16 fire dancers and array of fire art will be. Similar to a small-scale Burning Man in Santa Cruz, minus the dust storms, Glow is one of the MAH’s largest events of the year. Alongside Gordon there will be a few returning artists, including local light artist Geoffrey Nelson, who’s perhaps most recognized by his lit female form sculptures seen sailing over the San Lorenzo, Michele Guieu and her Plankton Soup With Plastic and Caroline Mills of the Flaming Lotus girls—a Burning Man icon—that will be bringing the flaming Angel of the Apocalypse. “It’s really very exciting. I am so excited to be doing a museum show, that’s a first for me,” he says. “In terms of the amount of sheer joy, ‘Hot Hand Luke’ is a huge success. It’s throwing fireballs around, I don’t know if it’s art with a capital A, but it’s really fun.” ‘Glow: A Festival of Fire and Light’ will be presented 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. 429-1964. santacruzmah.org. $15/$20.

Picking Up

Moving to Nashville, Santa Cruz native James Durbin finds a country groove on new album ‘Homeland’ BY JACOB PIERCE

ames Durbin’s new release represents a clear departure from his image as the metal-loving singer who took American Idol by storm seven years ago. The album also strikes a different chord than the time he has spent with the hard rock group Quiet Riot, who made him their lead singer last year. For Durbin’s mostly acoustic Homeland, which comes out Friday, Oct. 19, the Santa Cruz native laid down most of the instrumentation and all of the singing. Durbin, who recently moved with his family to Nashville, also wrote all of the songs except for the final track, a cover of “House of the Rising Sun.”

The first song is about learning to play guitar as a kid, the second is about your love for California and the third is about an awesome-sounding road trip. Were you feeling nostalgic at all when you wrote this album? JAMES DURBIN: This is definitely the most nostalgic-feeling music I’ve written—not just lyrically and thematically, but the sounds I was going for, getting a few different violin players from Santa Cruz and Dale Ockerman on the keys. I wanted it to feel like you could put this on in the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s.

Another theme is travel. Did you work on it while you were on the road?

A lot of these songs were written in the back of a van or the back of a tour bus or airports during six-hour layovers. They were also written during our move from Santa Cruz, my hometown, to Nashville. The song “Resist” was written right there on West Cliff—the last song I wrote in Santa Cruz. There’s a lot on there about going somewhere, where I don’t know if it’s right, but it feels right. It’s all for the adventure.

Does Nashville still feel right? Some days. It’s a daily, monthly backand-forth kind of thing. We definitely miss our friends and family—the familiarity. But at the same time, it’s nice to see different things and have

I don’t really care. I never stop to think about what they would think, because I never did it because of them or in spite of them. They were just another obstacle. I try not to hold grudges, because I’ve met people from those days that changed. Most kids are dicks. That’s your free pass. Some people took it a little far, but I’m all for forgiveness—and I wasn’t the best kid, either. If I could meet myself as a kid, I’d have some choice words for myself, as well as those other guys. It made me who I am today. I hope everyone’s found success and that everyone can be happy. Everyone’s worth a beer and a pat on the back.

You’re a wrestling fan. WWE comes to you and asks if you have an idea for a new wrestling star played by you. What do you say? There’s a wrestler named Darren Corbin, and online people have mistaken old pictures of me from Wrestlemania for him with his hair bleached. We ran into each other at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, and we were basically wearing the same thing. We took a selfie. It was creepy. My wife was like, ‘He looks like your brother.’ I don’t have a brother. So we would definitely have a tag team, Durbin and Corbin.

Longtime men’s education and support program comes to Santa Cruz County BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

emotions is a good thing, and it seeks to emulsify the oil-and-water-like relationship between vulnerability and traditional male culture. “Most men coming to Breakthrough are facing a big life challenge, but many others aren’t in crisis and are just looking for deeper meanings, meaningful friendships, and a sense of community,” says Fitz, who emphasizes that Breakthrough isn’t geared just to men who may feel broken in some way. “At Breakthrough, we believe every man can benefit from the program.” Fitz says program graduates include men from all walks of life—their backgrounds, educational and occupational pedigrees are as diverse as their various ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations. He says the average attendee is between 40 and 45 years old, but adds that there have been graduates as young as 18, all the way up to men in their 70s. Fitz says that participants of Breakthrough

n 1987, counselor and teacher of nonviolent communication Fred Jealous founded a men’s education and support program called Breakthrough Men’s Community with just himself and six others in the Monterey area. Thirty years and 2,000 graduates later, the program continues to expand, and now is offered in Santa Cruz. “Fred had a strong belief that the way men are raised in this culture is damaging,” says Breakthrough executive director Chris Fitz, who graduated the program five years ago. “We are brought up to believe that boys must sacrifice their humanity to be ‘real men,’ and that the only way to relate to other men is to compete with them. Because of the way we’re raised, there is a lot of distrust in other men.” A major tenet of the program, says Fitz, is that men need the support of other men to heal and regain the humanity that has often been socialized out of them. Another emphasis of the program is that experiencing

usually find it to be a very compelling, profound experience. He says that the most common feedback he hears from graduates is that Breakthrough “saved my life, saved my marriage, saved my relationship with my kids, or helped me through a painful divorce.” A 2008 Blue Shield study on Breakthrough confirmed these sentiments, finding that the word “transformative” best described the Breakthrough experience, and that 91 percent of survey respondents used the words “enormous” or “considerable” to describe the impact that Breakthrough had on their lives. But such transformation comes with a level of time commitment that sets Breakthrough apart from other programs of its kind. The program is 34 weeks long, which is broken up into two 17-week sessions. Each of these sessions has 14 evening classes, two all-day Saturday courses, and one weekend retreat. Most of the work is done in small groups, where participants learn to put the lessons into action. “Practice makes perfect, and it takes time to rewire the neural pathways so we can live our lives differently,” says Fitz. He emphasizes the importance of taking one’s time and going slowly, providing men with the support to practice things like affirmations, identifying triggers with issues like anger addiction, and taking time and space to contemplate and reflect. Breakthrough is a nonprofit organization, and tuition is done on a sliding scale. “No willing participant has ever been turned away for financial reasons in 30 years,” Fitz says. About 40 percent of Monterey participants are referred by their therapists, with the other 60 percent being referred by word-of-mouth. Fitz adds that many of these referrals are given by women, who, he says, have a more instinctual understanding of the benefits a support community can provide. A similar program called Breakfree was subsequently created for women. “Women get right away what we’re all about,” says Fitz.

WISH FULFILLMENT Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peña was inspired by Watsonville to write his latest book, ‘Carmela Full of Wishes.’

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Watsonville Wishes

Celebrated children’s author Matt de la Peña sets his latest tale in Santa Cruz County BY WALLACE BAINE

here is no explicit mention of Watsonville in Matt de la Peña’s new children’s picture book Carmela Full of Wishes. To most readers, the reference to “Freedom Boulevard” early on in the story of a young Latina girl’s birthday outing with her older brother may be merely a particularly on-the-nose sociopolitical metaphor. But residents of Santa Cruz County know otherwise. Carmela is clearly a Watsonville story. Celebrated children’s and young

adult author de la Peña—who won the prestigious Newbery Medal in 2016 for his book Last Stop on Market Street—is not exactly a Watsonville guy. But he does have a direct connection: about a decade ago, his parents Al and Roni de la Peña moved there from their longtime home near San Diego. Roni has been working as a teacher at Starlight Elementary School ever since. In fact, it was during a visit with his parents in Watsonville that de la Peña, the author of several award-winning picture books for

pre-adolescent readers and novels for teens, got the idea for Carmela. “I was kinda new to picture books at the time,” he says. “And one time, I heard this little boy say to his teacher, ‘Hey Miss, look. The sky is full of wishes.’ He was pointing to the spores of a dandelion floating in the wind. From that day on, I’ve been trying to write this book.” On Oct. 21, de la Peña and Robinson will again visit Watsonville to mark the book’s publication and celebrate Watsonville’s role in it. The free event, to take place at the

Watsonville Veterans Memorial Building, begins at 4 p.m. and features a book signing, visual art and drama centered on the book, and a dinner. The event is sponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz. Carmela Full of Wishes is about a young girl following her brother through the streets of Watsonville on his round of errands. With a dandelion in her hand, she is contemplating what her birthday wishes should be. One of them is to see her father once he gets his “papers fixed.” De la Peña, who is of mixed-race heritage, has made it his mission to write stories of families in what he calls “mixed-status” circumstances in which at least one family member is undocumented. “This book is kinda about immigration,” he says. “But it’s also not about immigration. It’s about a brother and a sister. I like having picture books with layers.” The book evokes Watsonville’s agricultural orientation—it may have more references to manure than any other picture book on the market—while also serving to depict the experiences of a child engaged in the daily life of the city. “I definitely wanted the grit of the neighborhood to be there,” says de la Peña, who was born and raised in National City, a predominantly Latino community between San Diego and the Mexican border. “I grew up right next to this massive stretch of greenhouses and we would ride our bikes through them. One of the memories that sticks with me the most is the smell of manure. I knew where I was when I smelled that. That’s what home smelled like.” Like many writers of color, de la Peña hopes to present Carmela to two audiences: “It’s really important for a Mexican-American girl to see herself as the hero of a story. But it’s equally powerful for other people to read about Carmela to have more empathy and understanding. The opportunity to see the world through someone else’s eyes is a great gift of literature.” Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson will talk about their new book on Sunday, Oct. 21, 4 to 7 p.m., at the Watsonville Veterans Memorial Building, 215 E. Beach St., Watsonville, free. www. bookshopsantacruz.com.

THIRD ACT Alkaline Trio plays the Catalyst on Thursday, Oct. 18.

Breaking the Curse OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Alkaline Trio tackles depression in a very personal way on their unexpected new album BY MIKE HUGUENOR

his August, Alkaline Trio released their ninth album, Is This Thing Cursed?, which was recorded in secret after five years of relative silence from the band. “No one knew we were making a record,” says bassist and co-vocalist Dan Andriano, who joined guitarist and lead vocalist Matt Skiba in the Trio shortly after it was formed in 1996. They have been joined most recently by former My Chemical Romance drummer Jarrod Alexander, after it was announced in August that longtime drummer Derek Grant would not be touring due to medical reasons. “We were sort of in a weird position, since we hadn’t done anything in a studio in a long time, and Matt’s been touring with Blink-182. But getting in the studio together, once we began,

it was awesome,” says Andriano. “We just started working, and it started going really well.” The album opens with the title track, a song that begins with rumbling organ, contemplative piano, and (for the first time on an album opener) Andriano’s voice. Then, just before the minute mark, the song explodes. Drums, guitars, and vocal harmonies suddenly propel the song forward, as Andriano and Skiba trade verses all the way up to its final, lingering question: is this thing cursed? It’s one of the band’s best songs in years, and also a deeply personal one for Andriano. “That song, really it’s about depression,” he says. “It’s about being in that place where you just don’t

feel like anything is going right, and you’re not thinking rationally, you’re not trying to get to the root of the problem, which is usually something you’re doing yourself.” The album’s cover features a blood red phone, its receiver levitating off the hook with the titular question floating between. Coupled with Andriano’s description, the image suggests that depression is always on the other end of the line, waiting for you to answer its call. Over the course of their career, Trio has had plenty of time to consider real curses. There have been car crashes, canceled shows, drunken nights, arrests, band member departures, even tabloidstyle coverage. But Andriano says that during that time, none of it

mattered. It wasn’t until later, when he began to seriously struggle with depression (he was formally diagnosed only a few years ago) that he began to wonder about curses. “When actual stuff was going on with me I wasn’t really that depressed, I was just like, ‘oh man, this is going to be like a $200 ticket to get out of,’ and then on to the next show, on to the next party, on to the next whatever. But that’s what’s scary about depression: you lose sight of all that, and you make these irrational thoughts,” he says. It was two decades ago now that Andriano was sitting at a Chicago bar commiserating with his friend Skiba. At the time, Alkaline Trio had just lost their bass player to the number-one leading cause of band member departure: college. “I was in a band called Tuesday that was sort of in the same boat,” Andriano says. “Two of my bandmates had just decided that they were going back to college for real this time. So I was bumming, and Matt was talking about how all he wants to do is go on the road. And then he just kind of looked at me and said: ‘You should be in this band.’ And I said, ‘All right.’ And we kept drinking.” In 1998, they released the For Your Lungs Only EP, and then their first fulllength, the era-defining Goddamnit. The world they charted was visceral, full of head wounds and shriveled lungs. And for a generation, the way Skiba and Andriano sung about addiction, desire and damnation was pure catharsis. Sirens and devils have always populated Alkaline Trio’s songs— whether in the form of intoxicating crushes, or malevolent spirits—but this time the demons are personal. Is This Thing Cursed? is less creature feature and more Faust. The demons the band conjures this time are the ones we all face, the ones that grow in the darkness of the soul. “I’ve been saying lately that I just want to be in the light.,” Andriano says. “I’ve been in the darkness a very long time. I just want to be in the light.” Alkaline Trio plays at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $28/adv, $32/ door. 423-1338.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

JANET CROTEAU Janet Croteau loves writing songs. She sees it as a form of therapy that is healing to both the people expressing themselves and those listening. She is currently in the process of becoming a licensed psychotherapist after all. “I really feel like art is a great way to connect with the self and it’s super therapeutic. I think people hunger to be more real. Songwriting is such a cool way for the individual to self-express,” Croteau says. “It’s mesmerizing to hear somebody exposing the essence of who they are through a song.”

OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Since attending a songwriting workshop at Esalen in Big Sur, she’s written more than 100 songs, and released her fulllength album Wild Heart in July.

“I really believe that everybody is an artist, and that songwriting isn’t some exclusive thing that you can only do if you play the guitar for 20 years,” Croteau says. Her new bi-monthly songwriting salon premieres at Michael’s on Main on Oct. 24. This particular show is called “Women Who (Folking) Rock,” and it showcases women songwriters who can write a mean song on their acoustic guitars. Every other month, the theme will change. “Songwriting is a lost art form,” she says. “I think people are missing out on this incredible vehicle for self-expression that we have in our community.” AARON CARNES INFO: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, Michael’s on Main, 2591 S. Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

MAMMATUS

WEDNESDAY 10/17 PSYCH-FOLK

THE DEER 1,500 light years from Earth, the Horsehead Nebula floats like a cowboy’s dream. Both rootsy and ethereal, this interstellar object comes to mind when listening to Austin’s the Deer, who describe themselves variously as “psychotropic folk,” “stargaze surf,” and “cosmic Americana.” Led by singer/keyboardist Grace Rowland Park, the Deer are the audio equivalent of Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, taking familiar elements of the American Southern experience and expanding them outward into the far reaches of the universe. MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 9:00 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-6994

FOLK/SOUL

CHRIS WEBSTER & NINA GERBER Chris Webster and Nina Gerber have fearlessly chartered their own paths across the Bay Area’s music scene for decades. Along the way, they kept running into each other. So in 2013,

Webster (a soul singer) and Gerber (an accomplished guitarist) decided to collaborate. Apple Blossom Lane, the resulting album, is a timeless blend of folk, soul, traditional, and rock, interweaving each musician’s unique voice into something that couldn’t have existed without the other. Gerber’s effortless guitar playing is a band in itself, providing the necessary accompaniment for Webster’s expansive voice, as on the hauntingly beautiful “Lay Me Down Easy.” MH INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $20 adv/$23 door. 479-9777

THURSDAY 10/18 PUNK

H2O New York melodic hardcore band H2O loves to skate. They even wrote a song about it on their latest record Use Your Voice. (“The sweat! The pain! The scars! The scabs!”) Almost-local skate legend Steve Caballero plays guitars on the song and does plenty of skating in the video. It’s no coincidence that their 2015 record would be so heavily doused in old-school punk culture. The band, which formed in 1995,

lived and breathed the DIY punk lifestyle when it seemed like punk would take over the world. After breaking up in 2003, then reforming in 2008, they’ve approached music as a means to having as much fun as possible, and their three post-hiatus albums reflect that. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 10/19 REGGAE

LEE SCRATCH PERRY & SUBATOMIC SOUND SYSTEM Who’s the most important reggae figure of all time? If you said Bob Marley, you need to leave at once. The correct answer is Lee Scratch Perry, who, by the way, transformed Bob Marley from a ska-singing romantic into a political roots reggae radical. Perry is famous for both his masterful producing and flawless original material, and really deserves the title as Godfather of roots reggae. He’s also insane, which adds to his brilliance, clearly.

He’s on tour celebrating the 45th anniversary of his band the Upsetter’s haunting reggae masterpiece Blackboard Jungle Dub. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $28.50. 423-8209.

FOLK

SIMRIT Romantic. Haunting. Brooding. All are great ways to describe the music of Greek folk artist Simrit. Her hypnotic voice has earned her famous fans like Steven Tyler and Belinda Carlisle, the later even dubbing Simrit “punk rock.” That might be because Simrit is unashamedly herself, bringing a sharply unique perspective and sound to her music. YouTube offers a plethora of her live performances, but the more you watch, the more you are stunned at the hypnotic sounds that seamlessly drip from her pores. MAT WEIR INFO: 7:30 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $35. 423-8209.

METAL

MAMMATUS All praise the heavy psych-gods, because Mammatus is returning to the stage! Since 2005, this local group has earned a diehard cult following, playing anywhere they could from legit clubs to dingy house shows. Fast forward 13 years later, and the cult has

only grown. The band has only released four albums, their most recent being 2015’s Sparkling Waters. And Mammatus hardly ever plays, making nights like Oct. 20 a special occasion to write home about. Bring your ibuprofen, for some serious headbanging will ensue. They will be joined by Kinski and the Feral Ohms. MW

INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave. Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $28/door. Information: catalystclub. com. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz. com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 19 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

INFO: 9 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, $10. 423-7117.

ROOTS-ROCK

COFFIS BROTHERS You can easily envision the Coffis Brothers as the house band in some Santa Cruz version of the movie Roadhouse. They keep the party going with uncomplicated, feel-good rock, slide into raging, guitar-heavy tunes when the bar fight turns nasty, then easily slip back into a soft, baleful country song when everyone sobers up, ready to slow-dance with their honey. With a huge dose of Petty influence and a lifetime of frolicking in the California hills, they are the band you want at your next all-night bonfire. And when that one drunk guy yells, “Free Bird!”, I bet the Coffis Brothers are willing to oblige. AMY BEE INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

Christian Sands is having a breakout year. On the heels of his impressive 2017 debut album Reach, the sensational 29-year-old pianist has been tapped for several prominent positions, such as taking over from his late mentor Geri Allen as creative ambassador for the Erroll Garner Jazz Project. On his new album Facing Dragons, he alternates between piano, Fender Rhodes and Hammond B-3 organ, a project that showcases his skills as a composer and arranger. Like on the album, he’s joined on this tour by the exceptional bassist Yasushi Nakamura, drummer Jonathan Barber, who’s performed around the region, and powerhouse trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, who rounds out this dazzling trio. ANDREW GILBERT

SATURDAY 10/20

What do three DJs do when they get together? Well, they mix, produce and remix—and if an audience is watching them, jump around a bunch, too. Cash Cash is just this kind of DJ trio. Originally from New Jersey, the trifecta of record scratchers has developed a sizeable audience by marrying EDM dance tracks with a heavy dose of pop. Recent single “Finest Hour,” which features singer Abir, is a feel-good heart-on-the-sleeve kind of track you listen to alone in the bathtub. Though it’ll still get you jumping on the dancefloor if there’s three DJs on stage losing their mind. AC

FILM

GIVING IT THE OL’ COLETTE TRY Denise Gough and Keira Knightley star in Wash Westmoreland’s biopic about the

controversial French author.

Brand Aid OCTOBER 17-23, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Ghostwriter evolves into celebrated author in entertaining ‘Colette’ BY LISA JENSEN

ven for an era of such artistic and cultural ferment as the turn of the last century, famed French author Colette led an extraordinary life. She was a country girl dominated by her sophisticated husband who became the toast of Paris for her wildly successful, trendsetting novels. She was also a music hall performer who scandalized the public, a lover of men and women, a cross-dresser, and an accidental advocate for equality who had to fight for the right to publish her work under her own name. If her life was the stuff of melodrama, it was always tempered by her wit and wry self-knowledge in

her books, reviews and voluminous letters to friends and family. In his biographical feature, Colette, filmmaker Wash Westmoreland sticks to her early years in Paris, during the metamorphosis by which she would eventually turn herself into the celebrated author. As portrayed by Keira Knightley, this Colette is all good-humored innocence and coltish bravado. The film ends just as she’s about to launch herself back into the world on her own terms, so we never get a sense of the wry wisdom of the author’s maturity, but Knightley is appealing as an awakening personality in the making. Co-written by Westmoreland (Still Alice), with Richard Glatzer

and Rebecca Lenkiewicz, the movie begins in 1892, at a remote house in the French countryside of SaintSauveur. Nineteen-year-old SidonieGabrielle Colette (Knightley), her beloved mother Sido (Fiona Shaw), and her father are entertaining Willy (Dominic West), a renowned magazine writer and critic from Paris, whose father knew Colette’s father in the military. A year later, Willy and Colette are married and living in Paris. There she discovers that “Willy” is a cottage industry; he employs other writers to crank out the work that appears in the press under his name. And while Willy always has money to spend on salons, gambling and mistresses (“That’s what men

do!” he splutters, when the outraged Colette catches him in the act), their finances always seem precarious. To stave off creditors, her husband decides “Willy” should write a novel, and assigns the task to Colette, who is already writing all his personal correspondence. She balks at first, but when he physically locks her in her study to work, she starts writing about her own schooldays. The book, Claudine at School, is an immediate bestseller. Together with its three sequels, it influences a generation of young women, who copy Claudine’s clothes and hair, bathe with “Claudine” soap, and nibble “Claudine” chocolates. But the books all come out under the name of “Willy,” who refuses to compromise his “brand” by allowing Colette to take credit for her own work. Bolstered by new confidence over her books’ success, however, Colette begins to experiment in other aspects of her life. She joins a cabaret act with mime George Wague (Dickie Beau), begins an affair with transplanted American socialite Georgie Raoul-Duval (Eleanor Tomlinson, familiar as Demelza on TV’s Poldark) and forms a deep bond with an audacious French aristocrat, Missy (Denise Gough), who dresses as a man and responds to the pronoun “he.” Willy’s attempts to insert himself into these adventures (starting his own affair with Georgie; turning Colette’s stage debut into an ill-fated PR stunt) are presented here as ways of trying to keep his wife on a short leash. But considering the power he wielded over her due to his own celebrity, and the fact that he controlled the rights to the Claudine books, it’s satisfying to watch Colette evolve out of his shadow toward a new life built around her own talent. The movie looks beautiful (largely shot in old-world Budapest), and Knightly captures enough of Colette’s spirit of adventure to encourage viewers to explore the rest of her story. COLETTE *** (out of four) With Keira Knightley, Dominic West, Denise Gough and Fiona Shaw. Written by Wash Westmoreland, Richard Glatzer, and Rebecca Lenkiewicz. Directed by Wash Westmoreland. A Bleecker Street release. Rated R. 112 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES FREE SOLO Right now, you’re probably thinking “Wait, there’s a new Star Wars movie already?” But oh, my friends, this is so much more insane than that. A documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold, it follows his attempt to “free solo” El Capitan. That means doing the climb without ropes, harnesses or, um, anything that would keep you from falling to your death with one wrong move. As discussed in the film, the mortality rate of free solo climbers is somewhere around 100 percent. Forget about horror movies, this is the most harrowing film you’ll see this year. Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. (PG13) 100 minutes. (SP)

THE OATH This comedy from the producers of Get Out takes the typical oh-how-we-dreadholidays-with-the-relatives concept to an absurdist extreme, setting this Thanksgiving story against the backdrop of an announcement by the government that every American will have to sign a “Patriot Oath.” When political tensions escalate—to put it lightly— among the all-star comic cast, there are knives, guns and tasers involved. Directed by Ike Barinholtz. Starring Tiffany

TEA WITH THE DAMES The press release for this film starts “Together, they’re 342 years old.” Ooh, vampire love story? Nope, it’s actually referring to four actresses: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith. Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright. They’re all friends in real life, and in this inventive idea for a documentary, the cameras hang with them while they have tea, talk about their lives and careers and gossip. Sort of a more real, less pretentious My Dinner With Andre. 84 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/ LTATM.

NOW PLAYING 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) 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 genre-deconstruction 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 Reviewed this week. Directed by Wash Westmoreland. Starring Keira Knightley, Dominic West and Denise Gough. (R) 111 minutes. 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) 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) 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) 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) NIGHT SCHOOL As an actor, Kevin Hart has an impressive range.

He can act excited, very excited, overly excited, angrily excited, unbelievably excited, and nervewrackingly 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. Costarring Tiffany Haddish, Taran Killam and Keith David. (PG-13) 111 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) SMALLFOOT Hey, what if Bigfoot didn’t believe in us? Congratulations to whoever wrote this for getting one of the questions that countless stoners have mulled over turned into an animated kid’s movie! Stay tuned for the big-screen adaptation of “Maybe we’re all in a dog’s dream.” Directed by Karey Kirkpatrick. Featuring the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden, Common, and Danny DeVito. (PG) 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)

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 17-23, 2018

HALLOWEEN Did I say forget about horror movies? Don’t do that just yet, because this new sequel-ly reboot (reboot-y sequel?) to the original slasher franchise picks up where John Carpenter’s 1978 film left off, ignores all of the sequels, and then jumps ahead 40 years to let Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode—who has become a straight-up badass in the ensuing time—battle it out with Michael Myers. Yeah, it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens, but the great thing about it is … it’s the horror movie version of T2 and Aliens. Directed by David Gordon Green. Starring Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak. (R) 106 minutes. (SP)

Haddish, Carrie Brownstein and John Cho. (R) 93 minutes. (SP)

Great Pumpkins

Final weeks of Felton Farmers Market celebrate fall, plus seasonal dishes at La Posta BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he Felton Farmers Market hosts its annual Pumpkin Decorating Bonanza on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2:30-6:30 p.m. At this free event—fun for kids and everyone—you can talk with farmers, enter a raffle, take part in a scavenger hunt and enjoy face painting and live music. The main event features free Rodoni pumpkins ready to be decorated. Veggies, string, pipe cleaners, buttons, googly eyes—use whatever fires your imagination. With more than 25 years under its belt, the Felton Farmers Market is a beloved San

Lorenzo Valley fixture. The seasonal market runs May through October, so the last day to enjoy this market is Oct. 30. Stock up on the season’s organic produce, herbs, eggs, and flowers, plus your favorite local specialty ice creams, coffees, fresh breads, seafoods and pastries.

SEASONAL MENU AT LA POSTA An exceptional dinner last week at La Posta confirmed once again that chef Katherine Stern is a master of seasonal flavors. Stern keeps stride with the expressive trends of the

culinary zeitgeist. An example: in New York several weeks ago, I had noticed the prevalence of wild herbal flavors and sauces (e.g. sorrel and nasturtium) in mains as well as desserts. Stern’s kitchen always seems to be ahead of the curve. Our dinner began with a shared salad of rose-colored chicories, luscious burrata, a few slices of nectarine, a perfect cylinder of yellow beet, and a dusting of toasted pistachios ($13). Early autumn in every bite. The salad was almost too beautiful to consume. But we forged ahead. The

contrasting bitter greens, buttery cheese and salty crunch of the pistachios were brilliant together. The tart sweet nectarine played a memorable topnote. Salad that exactly matched the month of October. To partner our meal, Katya chose a floral/salty Ligurian Vermentino ($12) and I opted for a quartino of the house red, a satisfying light Piemontese Barbera ($12). With our salad, we consumed shameless quantities of the spectacular house breads, especially the addictive walnut dark with lightly salted butter. Also addictive. Katya’s entree of Fogline Farms chicken breast ($28) was stuffed with spinach and ricotta, and presented sliced into plump cylinders on a bed of leeks and crispy roast Brussels sprouts. Crisp buttery bread crumbs were strewn here and there, adding the right texture note to the succulent poultry. My entree was the evening’s special chitarra pasta. Piled high in a robust mound, the pasta had been well tossed with housemade Italian sausage, loaded with fennel, Early Girl tomatoes, and spicy red chiles ($21). A dazzling dish, which is exactly what I expect of La Posta. Dazzling dishes. Especially pasta. More easy-to-love dazzle came in the form of an apple cornmeal cake ($9). Truly flavors of autumn. The wedge of cake arrived on a pool of fennel crema topped with quince mousse that had been subtly spiked with red wine. Unexpected and resonant flavors combined in each bite. Apple, quince, fennel. A brilliant dish. Kudos to the kitchen of La Posta.

WINE AND PAINT NIGHT AT SOTOLA BAR & GRILL While you’re sipping wine at Sotola on Nov. 1, from 5-7 p.m., local artist Anastasiya Bachmanova will guide you, step by step, through the creation of your very own original painting. At the end of the night, take home a unique masterpiece— perhaps a one-of-a-kind Christmas gift? Light wine-pairing snacks will be served in addition to the wine. Sotola—231 Esplanade, #102, Capitola. sotolabarandgrill.com.

Ashby Confections Yes, Virginia, there finally is healthy candy BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

BREWERS

STRIP TEASE Ashby’s sour strips are made with superfoods. PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Voted Best Pub in Santa Cruz! 16 ROTATING BEERS ON TAP • FULL BAR • BEST BURGERS!

he term “healthy candy” never fooled anyone, until Ashby Confections came along. Jennifer Ashby began making chocolates and other confections over 10 years ago, and her superfood sour strips are a reason to go back for seconds and thirds in the name of health. Ashby’s most recent additions to the superfood sour strip family are boysenberry, and wild sea buckthorn, a berry found in cold, harsh climates that tastes like a cross between orange and mango. She uses only five ingredients, with no artificial anything. Last year, Ashby began sourcing some chocolate from Mutari for its truffles and other chocolate treats. Ashby also uses Bay Areabased Guittard organic chocolate. Ashby spoke to us about the latest developments.

Why sea buckthorn?

JENNIFER ASHBY: I was looking for organic sour cherries, because around here we don’t get sour cherries—we get black cherries and Rainiers and other types. Those don’t give a strong enough cherry flavor, and I was looking for strong flavors. I love experimenting with different fruits and trying new things, so I was so excited when I found this website that sells all kinds of wild and organic

berries, and I saw wild seabuckthorn. I’d never tried it. They are an exotic superfruit, extremely high in vitamin C and omegas and loaded with antioxidants. It’s really cool to get this good stuff in your system in a way that’s delicious.

Any other new stuff? We have the harvest cup made with Mutari dark chocolate shell and housemade marzipan and a piece of dried apricot. On top, there’s a dried cherry and pistachio. All of that is delicious. I always want to grab one for the drive home, they aren’t too sweet with the dried fruit, dark chocolate and marzipan. It’s the best. We also have more vegan stuff now, particularly more vegan truffles. We also have a blonde Kahlua coffee truffle, which is made with Mutari caramelized white chocolate—all organic, local and fresh. Kahlua, coffee, and caramel chocolate. What could be wrong with any of that? In the last two years, we’ve also really developed brittles from my [mom’s] recipe. I use local beer or wine instead of water. The alcohol leaves behind the great flavor and robustness. 16 Victor Square, Scotts Valley. ashbyconfections.com.

f you love Rosé, you will be very happy with the Wrights Station Rosé of Pinot Noir 2017, a delicious pink libation that’s fit for a king’s table. “We doubled our production this year,” says Carol (aka CJ) Martin, who’s in charge of promotions, events and sales at Wrights Station. “This Rosé is no simple sipper,” Martin says. “It’s primarily 777 clone—our most earthy Pinot—and is complex with its tri-fruit component followed by a little dust of the earth. Though not simple, it’s still soft and easy like Sunday morning … or afternoon!” Martin says their 2016 Rosé of Pinot Noir was equally popular and sold out almost as fast as it hit the tasting room, so don’t expect the 2017 Rosé to linger around very long. With its strawberry, plum and peach notes, it comes with an abundance of flavor—and it’s reasonably priced at $30. Wrights Station, 24250 Loma Prieta Ave., Los Gatos, 408-560-9343. wrightsstation.com. Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday-Sunday.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WHAT DO WE VALUE?

We remain for many weeks (until mid-November) under Venus retrograde (in Scorpio, then Libra), reminding us that Venus retrograde is the time to assess our values. We are to focus upon and ask ourselves what (resources, people, relationships, kingdoms, etc.) is of value to us. Creating a state of illumination in Scorpio and contemplation in Libra. We are to ask ourselves two questions: What of value will we keep, cultivate and cherish? And what will we eliminate (share, give away, allowing it to drop away)? Life events occur during Venus retrograde (Scorpio tests then Libra choice) creating an acute awareness of what we value, whom we value, all that we value, including the value of the self/Self. The latter most important to consider. Aware of this Venus retrograde influence, we observe our lives within the lens of Venus. And then Venus retrograde, as we assess, we are also called to choose (Libra’s task).

Under Libra Sun and Venus retrograde we are in an interval, a time of oscillating between two things (you/me, I/Thou, up/down, here/there, etc.), until we finally come to rest. Venus retro calls us to stand for what we value. And Libra, informing us that we must choose wisely and rightly, also tells us how. When we align with the Will-to-Good, Goodwill and Right Choice and Harmony come forth. All illusions, distortions, glamours and hindrances fall away. We are able to see clearly how the self and each of us are deeply valuable to our world. Love and harmony from Venus then come forth. As Agni Yoga Helena Roerich said, “The heart, filled with love, becomes active and valiant, expanding its capacity. Such a heart, praying without words, bathes in Bliss. How greatly in need is humanity’s realization of the Fire of Love! A fire from a star of the highest tension.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You are learning many things about yourself—the use of your vital life force; your sense of altruism; your ability to initiate and undertake anything, even the risky and questionable; your sense of self-worth and of being valued; and the fact that you are able at this time to shape an idea and anchor it into form and matter. These are extraordinary gifts. You are to recognize them. Inviting others to learn them.

In between tending to your ceaseless professional work, you’re able to strategize, research and investigate new realities, getting to the root cause of any situation. Your instincts unravel mysteries and solve things deep and complex. Amidst it all, you continue to display great charm and grace and stability within your ever-shifting relationship(s). Realize you are of great value to the balance and harmony in the world.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You teach the use of positive thoughts, of constructive and progressive actions. They deter us away from adverse, harmful and destructive thinking which obstructs and hinders any moving forward. The fact that you are very principled, ethical and ask others to also have morals and principles needs to be recognized. We are grateful. You have a purity of action that lights up our Path with Goodness.

You must attempt to cultivate close relationships. Just one or two loving intimate friends will do. When you allow this to come forth you are able to do your best. Close friends are important for your fair play to emerge, your value to be accepted and reflected, your goals to be reached. We all need help. You, too, at times. You are able to strategize and negotiate. These are very important Scorpio gifts.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

Your ethical high standards are apparent wherever you are, but especially at work. Faith in others and respect for their abilities are how you expect everyone to treat everyone else. Sometimes others do not reflect your ethics or morals. This presents a choice. You always choose the higher path, the right thing to do. Many, seeking a mentor, a guide and/ or teacher, watch you carefully for cues of leadership. Humanity needs education today more than anything. That’s your call now.

Esoteric Astrology as news for the week of Oct. 17, 2018

A guardian angel hovers over and around your life at this time. Can you see, sense or feel it? Angels take our forlorn sadness and turn it into courage, hope, faith and knowledge that “love underlies everything in our lives.” Your angel also guides you to retreat into contemplative solitude. Just for a while. Into a meditative state of creative visualization that vitalizes your life force. You will learn Mercy.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

It’s important to be out and about, away from family, even though family is your entire life. But other groups are also valuable to your health and well-being. You are influential, important, nurturing and helpful to so many. However, at times your shyness doesn’t allow this to register. You are also tolerant and forgiving. Humanity’s progress is your progress.

Many like you, think you’re a bit mysterious, and want to be around your kindness, generosity, playfulness and warmth. Children especially trust you. Adults and young ones recognize your creativity, ability to entertain, ability to make people laugh, ability to teach, your sense of aesthetics, patience, love with no complications, and helping others learn. Did I miss anything? Think greenhouses, flower bulbs, roses and fruit trees.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Your kindness comes forth because you realize that all leaders need to have kindness or they are destroyed in their attempt at leadership. You realize you cannot destroy those who look up to you for leadership. Leo is to be the heart of kindness. You excel at everything. Allow this excellence to become mature, seasoned and above all, ethical. Value others’ achievements. Let them surpass you. The leader’s (teacher’s) purpose.

You are guided to create and maintain safety, security and deep roots in your home. You value loved ones, yet you keep a certain distance so that freedom and your world work can be accomplished. Careful of things occurring behind the scenes. Careful of criticisms (yours or others). Maintain ethics and truth at all times. Careful driving. Know that the world is your home. Know that you come from the future for this time now.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Go slowly and you will make it to where you are going. This is applied to travel as well as study. Like Pallas Athena, whose father is Jupiter, you always seek knowledge that leads to wisdom. You enjoy sharing what you know. Be aware of whether or not people are listening. Sometimes they are not ready for your depths of information. They will be, someday. But not now. What inspires you these days?

You will move into a planning stage, designing agendas, creating lists, sorting and tending and organizing. You have begun to share with others your ideas, thoughts, teachings so everyone can have access to the big picture of life. You offer all that you have. In return many seek connections with you. You seek to expand networks, improve communications. The future comes to meet you. Your home life changes.

MEASURE O M

It is supposed to alleviate the affordable housing problem If you have 600 units for rent before MEASURE M you will still have 600 units after MEASURE M. The city prefers to build hotels rather than affordable housing. If affordable housing units are not wanted because of neighbors complaining, City could locate them in a remote area such as Holy City. Far better than how city treats the homeless and then blames the rental owners. It is time to become decent to those less fortunate. MEASURE M IS NOT THE SOLUTION. AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUILT BY THE CITY IS.

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.

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.
