INN DREAMS

OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE This isn’t technically our annual Green Issue, but there’s a lot of green in this issue. Even the fact that a “green issue” was created way back when speaks to how stories with an environmental focus were once few and far between, even in alternative journalism. Now, of course, with the ever-more-urgent issues around climate change, environmental stories require year-round coverage—I doubt we put out even one year issue a year that doesn’t have some kind of relevant coverage. Even in that context, though, I think this week’s issue captures how multi-faceted the world of environmental journalism really is.

THE VALUES OF ART

Re: “Paint Staking” (GT, 9/11): As a practicing artist and arts activist, I signed the letter of note in this recent article, because it was thoughtfully written and came from a place of sincere concern, while voicing both respect for what has been accomplished at MAH in these last eight years, and hope for how it might look in the future. Certainly it spoke of disappointments and frustrations, but it was additive and constructive as well.

Few would contest Nina Simon’s extraordinary transformation of MAH. Santa Cruz and the art world has congratulated her amply for what she has accomplished in terms of attendance, finances and social justice outreach. Despite these accomplishments, much was set aside or undervalued during that time, and these aspects should be considered when searching for new leadership. From the perspective of an artist, that might include having an experienced curator who could present contemporary art exhibitions, some of which could again highlight local and regional practicing artists. The museum could actively support the growth of local

First, there’s Christina Waters’ cover story on the 40th anniversary of Life Lab, a pioneering Santa Cruz “garden classroom” educational program that is bringing not just awareness, but the actual experience of nature to a generation of children. Then there’s Jordy Hyman’s story about a new film documenting the fight for the Beach Flats Community Garden. And Patrick Dwire reports on how local students are preparing for the Global Climate Strike on Friday. On a non-green-related note, I wanted to mention that I will be moderating a Q&A this Saturday, Sept. 28, with recent GT cover-story subject Jennifer Otter Bickerdike about her amazing music book Why Vinyl Matters, which she will also sign. It’ll be at Streetlight Records, 939 Pacific Ave. in Santa Cruz, at 4pm, and it’s free. Hope to see you there! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

artists at every level by seeking their collaboration, input and inclusion, rather than creating unnecessary barriers. There are two areas that I feel get trivialized and lead to misconceptions. Although everyone has the capacity and should be encouraged to express themselves artistically, not everyone is an artist. Those of us who have studied or have practiced art making for years understand what is involved when you choose to pursue art seriously. It is demeaning and hurtful to be silenced as “elitist.” One cannot talk about the importance of art without respectfully addressing those who have created that art and the discipline it takes to dedicate oneself to sustain a serious art practice. The museum could play a role in encouraging struggling artists rather than demeaning or neutralizing them. As a political and social activist, I surely believe that inclusivity and multi-cultural exposure are vital as we move forward, so MAH’s focus on social justice is just fine with me. But interacting and engaging with visuals and viewing mature works of art are two very different things and I’m afraid there hasn’t been much interest in understanding that distinction. In the article, “tweaks” were mentioned as “tricky to master to everyone’s >8

GROUND WORK

Law enforcement and educational leaders will use new grant funds to improve school safety and reduce juvenile delinquency. The Board of State and Community Corrections approved $715,000 for the Sheriff’s Office, Probation Department and County Office of Education. Their new multi-agency partnership will contract with the Community Action Board, with the goals of improving threat assessments, preventing bullying and targeting juvenile delinquency via social-emotional learning and restorative justice programs.

Hannah Hagemann, a recent graduate of UCSC’s science journalism Master’s program, has landed a prestigious one-year Kroc Fellowship at NPR. Hagemann, who reported for KQED, was one of the first journalists on the ground covering Gilroy’s mass shooting in July. The former geologist also contributed to a GT cover story in January answering science questions about Santa Cruz County. Hageman’s piece looked at the impacts of the historic liming industry.

TREY DONOVAN

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 25 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Comedian John Cleese speaks of two different modes toward which we humans gravitate. The closed style is tight, guarded, rigid, controlling, hierarchical, and tunnel-visioned. The open is more relaxed, receptive, exploratory, democratic, playful, and humorous. I’m pleased to inform you that you’re in a phase when spending luxurious amounts of time in the open mode would be dramatically healing to your mental health. Luckily, you’re more predisposed than usual to operate in that mode. I encourage you to experiment with the possibilities.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Upcoming adventures could test your poise and wit. They may activate your uncertainties and stir you to ask provocative questions. That’s cause for celebration, in my opinion. I think you’ll benefit from having your poise and wit tested. You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by exploring your uncertainties and asking provocative questions. You may even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to kick your ass in just the right gentle way, so you will become alert to possibilities you have ignored or been blind to.

GEMINI May21–June20 Novelist John irving asked, “Who can distinguish between falling in love and imagining falling in love? Even genuinely falling in love is an act of the imagination.” That will be a helpful idea for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. Why? Because you’re more likely than usual to fall in love or imagine falling in love—or both. And even if you don’t literally develop a crush on an attractive person or deepen your intimacy with a person you already care for, I suspect you will be inflamed with an elevated lust for life that will enhance the attractiveness of everything and everyone you behold.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

You know your body is made of atoms, but you may not realize that every one of your atoms is mostly empty space. Each nucleus contains 99% of the atom’s mass, but is as small in comparison to the rest of the atom as a pea is to a cathedral. The tiny electrons, which comprise the rest of the basic unit, fly around in a vast, deserted area. So we can rightfully conclude that you are mostly made of nothing. That’s a good meditation right now. The coming weeks will be a fine time to enjoy the refreshing pleasures of emptiness. The less frenzy you stir up, the healthier you’ll be. The more spacious you allow your mind to be, the smarter you’ll become. “Roomy” and “capacious” will be your words of power.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 “We don’t always have a choice about how we get to know one another,” wrote novelist John Irving. “Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly—as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth.” This principle could be in full play for you during the coming weeks. For best results, be alert for the arrival of new allies, future colleagues, unlikely matches, and surprise helpers.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In North America, people call the phone number 911 to report an emergency. In much of the E.U., the equivalent is 112. As you might imagine, worry-warts sometimes use these numbers even though they’re not experiencing a legitimate crisis. For example, a Florida woman sought urgent aid when her local McDonald’s ran out of Chicken McNuggets. In another case, a man walking outdoors just after dawn spied a blaze of dry vegetation in the distance and notified authorities. But it turned out to be the rising sun. I’m wondering if you and yours might be prone to false alarms like these in the coming days, Virgo. Be aware of that possibility. You’ll have substantial power if you marshal your energy for real dilemmas and worthy riddles, which will probably be subtle.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “I just cut my bangs in a gas station bathroom,” con-

fesses a Libran blogger who calls herself MagicLipstick. “An hour ago I shocked myself by making an impulse buy of a perfect cashmere trench coat from a stranger loitering in a parking lot,” testifies another Libran blogger who refers to himself as MaybeMaybeNot. “Today I had the sudden realization that I needed to become a watercolor painter, then signed up for a watercolor class that starts tomorrow,” writes a Libran blogger named UsuallyPrettyCareful. In normal times, I wouldn’t recommend that you Libras engage in actions that are so heedlessly and delightfully spontaneous. But I do now.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You could call the assignment I have for you “taking a moral inventory,” or you could refer to it as “going to confession.” I think of it as “flushing out your worn-out problems so as to clear a space for better, bigger, more interesting problems.” Ready? Take a pen and a piece of paper, or open a file on your computer, and write about your raw remorse, festering secrets, unspeakable apologies, inconsolable guilt, and desperate mortifications. Deliver the mess to me at truthrooster@gmail.com. I’ll print out your testimony and conduct a ritual of purgation. As I burn your confessions in my bonfire at the beach, I’ll call on the Goddess to purify your heart and release you from your angst. (P.S.: I’ll keep everything confidential.)

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Two hundred years ago, Sagittarian genius Ludwig Beethoven created stirring music that’s often played today. He’s regarded as one of history’s greatest classical composers. And yet he couldn’t multiply or divide numbers. That inability made it hard for him to organize his finances. He once wrote about himself that he was “an incompetent business man who is bad at arithmetic.” Personally, I’m willing to forgive those flaws and focus on praising him for his soul-inspiring music. I encourage you to practice a similar approach with yourself in the next two weeks. Be extra lenient and merciful and magnanimous as you evaluate the current state of your life. In this phase of your cycle, you need to concentrate on what works instead of on what doesn’t work.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “When you hit a wall—of your own imagined limitations— just kick it in,” wrote playwright Sam Shepard. That seems like a faulty metaphor to me. Have you ever tried to literally kick in a wall? I just tried it, and it didn’t work. I put on a steel-toe work boot and launched it at a closet door in my basement, and it didn’t make a dent. Plus now my foot hurts. So what might be a better symbol for breaking through your imagined limitations? How about this: use a metaphorical sledgehammer or medieval battering ram or backhoe. (P.S. Now is a great time to attend to this matter.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1965, Chinese archaeologists found an untarnished, 2,400-year-old royal bronze sword that was still sharp and shiny. It was intricately accessorized with turquoise and blue crystals, precision designs and a silk-wrapped grip. I propose we make the Sword of Goujian one of your symbolic power objects for the coming months. May it inspire you to build your power and authority by calling on the spirits of your ancestors and your best memories. May it remind you that the past has gifts to offer your future. May it mobilize you to invoke beauty and grace as you fight for what’s good and true and just.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “All human beings have three lives: public, private and secret,” wrote Piscean novelist Gabriel García Márquez. I will add that during different phases of our lives, one or the other of these three lives might take precedence; it may need more care than usual. According to my analysis, your life in the coming weeks will offer an abundance of vitality and blessings in the third area: your secret life. For best results, give devoted attention to your hidden depths. Be a brave explorer of your mysterious riddles.

Homework: “It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious,” said John Irving. How are you doing with that? freewillastrology.com.

liking.” Yet there was a hauntingly vague description of the recent hiring process. After two finalists were selected, the search evidently ended badly “when the staff found out who the two finalists were—some administrators expressed dismay, and threatened to shut down the museum in protest.” Shutting down the museum— what was that about? Readers were left to wonder: who is in control of the hiring process and how will it move forward? If there is to be, as the article suggests, a “healthy dose of community involvement and discussions about what’s next,” how will that happen when Nina decided not to

read the entire letter that was signed by 100 supporters of the arts? Yes, “art may be changing” but dismissing art history and the concerns of serious disciplined artists and supporters of the arts as elitist is simplistic and divisive, and will not serve to bring the community together for the sake of all its members. By forging alliances rather than allegiances, MAH has an opportunity to expand on its accomplishments and serve even more of the community than it already does. SARA FRIEDLANDER | SANTA CRUZ

WELLNESS bright orange flower. It’s drought tolerant, which is important to our climate, and it flowers throughout the season. It has a very broad window for harvesting. You’ll plant it in one spot and see it pop up in other parts of your garden. It grows well with fruit trees, too. It helps repair the skin and cellular tissue. It’s one of the main ingredients in all-natural salves you see. It’s pretty easy. You can make an infused oil, and it also has an edible flower that you can put in salads or on cakes. It’s a common ingredient in cold and flu tea recipes.”

Kindred Herbs’ healing local botanicals BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

n my end-of-summer attempts to enjoy the afternoons, I’m getting sunburned more than I should. I often find myself picking away at the long fingers of my aloe plant, rubbing the stringy goop on my shoulders and nose to ease any lingering sting. Healing at the expense of plants is something humans have done for centuries. While I appreciate modern medicine, my aloe plant reminds me that healing relief for minor problems—even if fleeting— may be just a pluck away. Cameron Salomon, grower and owner of Kindred Herbs medicinal plant nursery, began cultivating her company’s healing plants around a year ago. Since then, she’s grown

more than 60 types of medicinal herbs on her little plot off Ocean Street Extension. “I’ve been focused on herbs for the last six years, and it’s been a longtime dream of mine to open a nursery, since I was a teenager,” says Salomon, who is currently gearing up for a fall varietals sale. She buys seeds from Oregon organic farm Strictly Medicinals, which focuses on potent plants with varied health benefits. “There is an emphasis on the medicinal contents of plants, rather than their beauty or shelf life,” says Salomon, who also prioritizes ecological benefits like healthy soil. The roots of the project hew close to Saloman’s own interests. “It’s

called Kindred Herbs, but it also could be, like, ‘Cameron’s favorite plants,’” she laughs. For others with an interest in gardening, from beginners to connoisseurs, here are a few plants she’d recommend:

LEMON BALM “Lemon Balm is a digestion herb. It’s good for kids, pregnant women and the elderly. It’s a safe herb. It benefits digestion, but it’s also a very uplifting. It even has antiviral properties. It’s a powerful herb for being so safe, and is easy to grow. It’s a mint relative.”

CALENDULA “Calendula is another plant that grows itself. It makes a beautiful,

ELDERBERRY “Every home should have an elderberry. It flowers in the summer and sets berries in the late summer to fall. It’s one of the top antiviral herbs. It’s one of those herbs that is like a food. You can consume it as if it was a food. It’s safe to take regularly. Depending on the amount you take—usually it’s a teaspoon for a kid or tablespoon for an adult— taking it throughout the winter is a really effective way of staving off colds and flu. You can make a syrup out of it. You can also use the flowers. They can be made into a cordial. You infuse the flowers with water and add a sweetener. It will naturally ferment, there is a cordial and liqueur.

“There is edible passion fruit, which is passiflora edulis, but this is passiflora incarnata. They are related, but this is the medicinal plant version. It’s a perennial vine. You can harvest the flowers of the leaves. It makes a purple flower that is quite stunning and looks like it’s from another planet. It’s an amazing nervine. It calms down the nervous system and helps promote relaxation. It’s a good sedative, and will help the body go to sleep, but it won’t leave you groggy the next day.”

NEWS GREENHOUSE EFFECT Young Santa Cruz organizers of the Global Climate Strike see pressing need to band together and protect the planet

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY PATRICK DWIRE

Tamarah Minami, an eighth grader at Mission Hill Middle School, has been busy with extracurricular work the past couple of weeks. Her project is a big one. Tamarah and her classmates want to ensure the planet they call home gets a fair shot at a sustainable future. Tamarah, 13, has been leading weekly meetings with students from other schools to organize local support for the Global Climate Strike on Friday, Sept. 27—in which students around the world will walk out of their classrooms and into the streets, demonstrating against the forces behind the climate crisis. She believes adults have underestimated her generation. “And now we are strong because so many young people are speaking up,” Tamarah says. Climate organizations, student associations, labor unions, and faithbased groups are collaborating on the strike week that began Friday, Sept. 20, and will culminate this Friday, Sept. 27. Over the past year, high school climate protests have been spreading around the world with increasing momentum, thanks in large part to Greta Thunberg. The 16-year-old Swedish student inspired students everywhere when she first began her “Friday for Future” school strikes in the fall of 2018, making her a worldwide icon. Earlier this month, Thunberg sailed to New York City to address the United Nations Climate Action Summit. Tamarah cites Thunberg’s activism as an inspiration. Last year, a report from the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that humans must cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 and reach zero emissions within 20 years after that. The findings spurred international calls for action. Grant Black, a politics major at UCSC, is a co-coordinator of the local hub of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate justice organization that’s received considerable attention in its support of the Green New Deal.

TILL THEN Revered farmworker organizer Delores Huerta (right) stopped by the Beach Flats Community Garden in 2016. A new documentary follows community efforts to save the green space.

Rooted in Activism New short shows struggle for Beach Flats garden, as landowner signals desire to renew lease BY JORDY HYMAN

ocial documentarian Michelle E. Aguilar was in the middle of an MFA program at UCSC and looking for a new subject for a film when she was approached by Monika Egerer, a grad student in the school’s environmental studies department. It was 2015, and Egerer was conducting research in the Beach Flats Community Garden, also known as El Jardín de la Comunidad de la Playa. The 20-year-old communal green space, she told Aguilar, was in jeopardy. The concept drew Aguilar in, the filmmaker remembers, because the story was happening right in that moment. Also, the garden, which

is owned by the Santa Cruz Seaside Company, fascinated her. “There are a lot of community gardens in Santa Cruz, but this one is so incredibly unique,” she says. “The way that they grow, and their farming techniques and traditions, the heirloom seeds they’ve brought from El Salvador and Guatemala and Mexico—what they’re growing there is not like anything I’ve seen anywhere north of the border.” The Seaside Company, which owns and operates the Beach Boardwalk, signaled in 2015 that it planned to take back the land and use it for its own landscaping purposes. Between July 2015 and April 2016, Aguilar

captured more than 300 hours of footage as the story unfolded— documenting coalition meetings, City Council meetings, fundraisers, marches, and the seasonal rhythms of the garden itself. The hardest part, she says, was staying behind the camera. “While I was filming, I just wanted to help,” she says. “I knew I was capturing footage to create this documentary that would eventually help down the road, but at the time everything felt so dire. I was capturing all this footage that was so emotional, showing how important the space was, but I really wanted to be able to do something at that time.” >14

NEWS ROOTED IN ACTIVISM <12 Once she saw the community rallying around the gardeners, Aguilar says she felt better about her documentarian role and more confident that her work could help in the long run. Through an outpouring of community support, protest and negotiations, the garden was partially saved from the Seaside Company’s bulldozers with a threeyear lease, which that Seaside and the city agreed to extend last year. Aguilar’s short documentary No Place

To Grow premiered Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Museum of Art and History, with about 75 people crowding into a small room to attend the event. After the film, audience members talked about protecting the garden for the long-term, with some suggesting aggressive tactics, like pressuring City Council to use eminent domain to force a sale of the property. Others wanted to start a fund for the purchase of that or another property. Some asked supporters to sign a petition supporting the garden. Aguilar said she hopes the film

will keep the conversation going in the Beach Flats and beyond. “Other communities are dealing with similar issues of gentrification and land rights and green space and food sovereignty,” she said. “This isn’t unique to just the Beach Flats.” The Beach Flats Community Garden agreement will be up for another renewal at the end of the year 2021. Seaside Company spokesperson Kris Reyes tells GT via email that his employer is “open and willing to extending the existing lease.”

Benefiting FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY OF THE CENTRAL COAST

HOME OF HYPOCRISY Last week, Nuz called out neighborhood activists for using the idea of transitional encampments to fuel a recall effort against city councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn. Those same recallers have, of course, not suggested any better ideas to address homeless issues. But zooming out, there are bigger themes at play here. It is time for this town to stop arguing and start fixing its problems. Santa Cruz’s failure to do that is a pandemic that stretches beyond a conservative coalition of antiKrohn groups. You need look no further than Krohn himself. Take for example the Santa Cruz City Council’s short-sighted move last month to unceremoniously ax the Corridor Zoning Update, a years-old effort that aimed to plan for smarter housing growth—much of it affordable—on Santa Cruz’s four busiest streets. Although Krohn and Glover have not gotten much heat for it, they both voted to kill that plan, in spite of all the ranting and raving the two of them do about the “housing crisis”

and “struggling” renters. They did so because—their own grandstanding aside—a huge part of their political coalition is privileged NIMBY single-family homeowners, some of whom happen to live a couple blocks from the busy streets where we really should be upzoning for denser housing. Though it was good policy, the plan was a work in progress. It was on the backburner, while staff focused on implementing the Housing Blueprint Subcommittee recommendations. But in a surprise 4-3 vote, the council’s super-liberal majority pulled off a political stunt to toss the corridor plan out quickly, without any real public input. Planning staff will now have to do the council’s busywork involved in putting the corridor plan to bed, instead of the actually important work of making housing cheaper. Since the vote, Krohn has argued that there are other important progressive values besides housing affordability. Like “quality of life,” although—let’s be honest—that’s really just rich-people-speak for “no new buildings over two stories tall.” It seems like an odd principle to stick to—

especially considering that corridor development would be along busy bus routes, which is where California communities should be growing if we’re serious about cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Development along the corridors would reduce the spread of sprawling suburbanism across the region and make it easier for commuters to live without cars. And this is where, when you look at it closely, Krohn’s world view starts falling apart. Take his antics on the City Council, for instance. Whenever Krohn sees his more moderate colleagues declining to back him on the tenant protections he supports, he interrogates the other councilmembers, asking why they don’t care about renters. He hunts for rabid applause from supporters who show up to cheer him on. And given the current housing shortage, the sense of urgency is palpable. The truth is that protecting renters is great, but honestly— when you’re in a housing shortage—the best way to stop average rents from continuing to soar is to build housing. (At the very least, you could stand up for both types of solutions, if you truly cared.)

And yet, Krohn spent three years weaponizing his divisive rhetoric to undermine corridor upzoning. He then helped hammer the final nail into the corridor coffin on Aug. 27. After finally accomplishing his goal, Krohn flipped his logic on the housing crisis’ urgency. He’s found a new way to argue that he’s still the most “progressive” guy in the room, in spite of constantly finding unique reasons over the years to vote against housing projects and plans. He has conveniently come to discover a list of considerations to ponder besides housing. Like protecting the “livability” of homeowners, in this case. Krohn defends his point of view by saying the corridor plan was unpopular, anyway. And maybe he’s got a point there. It’s almost like someone’s been campaigning against it! Looking ahead, Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 any day now. And when he does, last month’s anticorridor vote will leave Santa Cruz in violation of state housing law. Now, that is a development that won’t make Santa Cruz look too progressive.

GREENHOUSE EFFECT <12 helping to organizing Santa Cruz’s student strikes. “We are telling politicians to either step up or step aside, because we only have 11 years to address this crisis, and less time to address it politically,” Black says, “so we are fighting hard for a Green New Deal for all people.” Young people like Black have amassed considerable support for their green vision and a brighter tomorrow. Issara Willenskomer sees himself as something of an “elder advisor” to the Sunshine Movement’s local hub. He emphasizes that adults are playing a secondary, supportive role in the youth-led effort. “The young are the ones with actual skin in the game,” he says.

With the walk-out coming up on Friday, Santa Cruz City Schools Superintendent Kris Munro tells GT that state law “doesn’t allow us to excuse student absences for walk-outs or political activities.” She adds, however, “We believe in supporting student voices and encouraging good environmental stewardship.” Munro says there will be several in-school activities related to the climate crisis planned for various campuses. In solidarity with the youth-led student strike, an array of local climate activist groups are hosting teach-ins, guerilla street theater events and panel discussions. Pauline Seales, 75, a key organizer of Santa Cruz Climate Action Network, stresses that all of this climate activism has a non-violent focus, so parents don’t have to worry about their kids participating. Seales, who earned a physics degree

from Leeds University in the United Kingdom, compares the world’s nations to a large fleet of buses. The whole fleet, she explains, has been heading toward a cliff for some time. “Most of them have got the message that there is, in fact, this precipice ahead,” she says. “Many have begun slowing down, and some have even begun turning around. Some have made a lot of progress on that, and some are just starting. But we, in the American bus, have as a driver a guy who is shouting, ‘There is no precipice! No reason to worry! Press on—full speed ahead!’ But the people in the bus are beginning to get pretty darned upset.”

A schedule of events is available on the Climate Action Network’s website, scruzclimate.org.

For more than 20 years now, the Beach Flats Community Garden has been a haven for residents of the predominantly low-income neighborhood that sits in the Boardwalk’s shadow. In 1994, a few residents of the Beach Flats neighborhood began growing food in a vacant lot that until then had sprouted only graffiti, trash and burnt-out cars. The Santa Cruz Department of Parks and Recreation rented the half-acre property on behalf of the gardeners, signing a year-to-year lease for the cost of the property tax with the Seaside Company. The intention was originally to find a permanent home for the garden, but land in the Beach Flats is scarce, and the garden stayed put. Over the next two decades, El Jardín de la Comunidad de la Playa grew into a sanctuary of tranquility in a sea of concrete, traffic and rollercoaster screams. The gardeners planted corn, beans, tomatoes, peppers, squash, chayote, marigolds, cactus, fruit trees and more, helping to feed a community that often struggles to afford basic necessities. “The community really relied on the space for nutrition and organic food,” said Aguilar. “There’s really no other green space in the Beach Flats community. It’s a half-acre garden surrounded by concrete. One of the subjects of the film called it an island.” The film offers a glimpse into the effort to save the garden, focusing mainly on Emilio Martinez Casteñeda, who worked in the garden nearly every day for 20 years. In interviews and at tense City Council meetings, the documentary shows the grief of the gardeners pondering what the loss of the space would mean for the Beach Flats community. At one meeting captured in the film, supporter Chris Cuadrado says, “In fighting for this, we’re not just fighting for this specific garden, we’re fighting to preserve an infrastructure of resources that are for the Latino community here in Santa Cruz.” As it wraps up, the film documents a bittersweet agreement to continue the lease on 60% of the land,

Aguilar is fundraising to pay off the film’s post-production costs. She plans on submitting it to festivals and releasing it for educational distribution to universities, libraries and the internet.

PLOTTING AHEAD City Manager Martín Bernal says that the struggle over the garden is only one component in the broader aim of improving livability for Santa Cruz’s working people. In 2018, when the lease came up for renewal again, Bernal went down to the garden to help translate and to answer questions. “They were mostly interested in getting assistance or had concerns about their housing situation,” he says. “That was at the top of their list of issues and concerns. The garden was a part of that, obviously, but I think for them, what good is a garden if they’re not going to be able to continue to live there?” Last year, some councilmembers wanted city staff to focus on doing whatever they could to preserve the garden, while others supported a more holistic approach to address affordable housing and the community’s wider needs. Bernal says that, for example, the city could stipulate that new developments in that area include community garden space. The current lease on the Beach Flats Community Garden ends on Dec. 31, 2021. But Reyes, the Seaside Company spokesperson, says in an email that the current agreement has worked out well. At this point, there is “nothing to negotiate,” he says. “The existing garden is a beautiful community space,” he writes. “We are proud to have played a role in contributing to this space for over 20 years. And we want to do our part so the garden can continue to thrive.” For more information on the garden, visit beachflatsgarden.org.

The Nature of

Education

How Life Lab’s ‘garden classroom’ model is transforming the experiences of grade-schoolers in Santa Cruz County—and beyond

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY CHRISTINA WATERS

OUTSIDE INFLUENCES An aerial view of the

Life Lab Garden Classroom on the grounds of the UCSC Farm and Garden.

THE GARDEN Visitors enter the Life Lab garden through the Louise Cain Gatehouse, renovated into a functional meeting space that preserves the old stonework footprint. School field trips—over 2,500 kids from 50 schools each year—bring children up for a welcome meetand-greet at the shady amphitheater just up the trail, before they head out to explore the bee hives, orchards and herb beds beyond. Don Burgett, Life Lab’s executive director,

gives me a quick tour. He’s been with LifeLab for eight years, and before that was development director for the Organic Farming Research Foundation. Burgett, like most of the Life Lab team, came to his work through the Center for Agroecology at UCSC’s Farm and Garden. “That’s how we can serve these kids,” he says. “With our resident staff, who train dozens of interns each year up here. It’s an introductory activity—a bit of hands-on science education.” A stand of huge favas in full bloom shelters a circular seating area. In one sitting, young visitors can learn about cover crops, as well as the ingredients for a tasty dish of pasta. At another gathering spot, they’ll learn the six major plant parts—horticultural STEM, where they will discuss and draw plants, or even dress up in costumes of their favorites. “We’ve started inviting stories from past Life Lab visitors,” Burgett says. “We’re beginning to track the kids who have come through the program through multiple generations. Many who come up to visit are the children of people who were camp kids themselves during the summers. This whole place is about the love of learning.” We come to a miniature apple orchard. Various learning stations dot the garden; most are circular in design, so that children can gather around a central leader or exchange ideas easily among themselves. A weather station with ways to measure temperature and wind sits next to a pond and a tunnel arbor for birdwatching. “In fall, it’s very farm-to-table,” Burgett continues. “They visit the apple orchard, pick some fruit, then press it into cider they can make and enjoy. There’s a corn station in the kitchen where they learn how to make and grind masa into tortillas. Then make a garden-foraged salsa. They even make their own butter. In winter, nutrition is the focus— herbs, roots, chards.” From chickens to compost is an easy conceptual transition, as is using a berry patch as a source for making fresh-fruit popsicles. I’m dazzled by the intimate scale of this ingeniously equipped garden classroom—a thought-provoking Disneyland for children who might not have their own home gardens or easy access to the cycles of nature.

he setting is irresistible. Fragrant with herbs, flowers and rich soil, the Life Lab Garden is tucked into a few vibrant acres next to the UCSC Center for Agroecology’s hilltop farm overlooking the Monterey Bay. From every spot on this effectively designed outdoor learning arena, you can inhale the Earth and see the ocean. Chickens curious about human animals strut around their palatial enclosure, ready to be held and admired by visiting children. Ten-foot-tall sunflowers tower over young visitors from local schools, who come to learn the fundamentals of air, soil, water, and how plants grow during field trips. What happens here is highly interactive learning, perfumed by the aromas of well-cultivated gardens. This is the root of the influential Life Lab program, which has now spread to blooming classrooms throughout Santa Cruz County, Pajaro Valley and the entire country. In garden classrooms at their own schools, youngsters in grades K-5 learn garden-based science, cooking and nutrition—dynamic skills to fuel a lifetime of environmental literacy, healthy eating and love of nature. In alliance with Next Generation science strategies, the Life Lab-initiated garden classrooms prepare young people for careers in the sciences, growing the future. Since the program began at Green Acres School in 1979, Life Lab has hosted thousands of local school children, who as adults have brought their own children to the site near the UCSC Farm and Garden for summer camp programs and nature visits. The vigorous immediacy of the Life Lab project has changed lives, and this year it celebrates 40 years of inviting children into the garden.

We move up into a small showpiece orchard. “The field trips then break into three smaller groups, led by interns,” Burgett says, and smiles. “It’s all about the magic of transformation.”

ORGANIC DEVELOPMENT The newest addition to Life Lab’s strategic plan is brandnew Co-Executive Director Judit Camacho. “Her children had formative experiences in our programs,” Burgett notes, “and Judit brings a wealth of experience as a nonprofit executive director to our work.” Camacho comes on board with deep roots in Santa Cruz County as a math major at UCSC. Her grooming through leadership programs led to her work as executive director

of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) at UCSC. Returning to Santa Cruz after a six-year family hiatus in Guadalajara, Camacho joined the leadership of Life Lab. Camacho’s own children went through the Life Lab program, as students and then as interns, and her dream is for all children to participate in extraordinary programs like Life Lab. “I believe in the level of attention they get here, the happiness they feel, their minds just bloom,” she says. Camacho’s skills will be put to the test as development director, with Life Lab funding her primary challenge. “All students need space to dream. I’d like to see the garden classroom be part of the culture of every school. Learning where food comes from, how to care for the earth.”

Camacho is an advocate of Life Lab’s concept of garden classrooms within elementary schools. “There were always field trips, off-site experiences with school groups. But it’s such a critical thing to have gardens on the school property, where they have access to it all the time. During recess they love to go out and check on the garden.” The main garden at UCSC and the school gardens feed into each other. “When they’re here at our Life Lab garden, young children can see themselves in new ways, and see themselves as scientists,” Camacho says. “They’re learning how to think about the Earth and biology. This is where it begins.” Kathleen Mitani, assistant principal at Watsonville’s T.S. MacQuiddy Elementary School, sees the program as a valuable opportunity for students. “Everyone is raving about the Life Lab garden classes,” Mitani says. “The lessons were accessible. Can’t tell you all how excited and appreciative that we have this program at MacQuiddy this year.” With the addition of Camacho, Burgett believes, “We will be able to expand our reach and go deeper with our mission.” Camacho’s energy is infectious. “There is a lot to do here,” she says.

The motto says it all: Life Lab cultivates children’s love of learning, healthy food and nature through garden-based education. Founded in 1979 in Live Oak, the Life Lab office trailer became a tenant of the University in 1988. A model teaching garden—a classroom in a garden— was built in 2000. “We are separate from the university, but were always connected with the farm,” says Burgett. “That was the big strategic theme.” The view of the Monterey Bay glistening in the distance was instrumental in sweetening the recipe. “We established gardens with schools, and by the late ’80s these programs were getting state and federal attention, such as National Science

Foundation grants for a curriculum developed for K-5 Life Lab sciences,” says Burgett. “The next step was to disseminate the model. We offered workshops for educators and have trainers all over the country.” In the 1990s, momentum grew. “There was a ‘share it with the world’ expansion of the Life Lab concept,” Burgett says, “but that tapered when policies shifted in the 2000s. We planted seeds—not all took. So we contracted in size, ramped up here and shifted focus back to the local garden classroom.” The current plan includes serving 4,000 Pajaro Valley Unified School District students year-round in the coming school year in nearly half of all district elementary schools (7 of 16), and more than 6,000 children total across Santa Cruz County. “Students of today need to have a positive relationship and connection with nature to help them care for the environment,” says Kevin Beck, a second-grade teacher at Watsonville’s Starlight Elementary School. “This program is a huge piece to building that connection.”

TEAM EFFORT Handling two major thrusts of Life Lab’s mission—teacher training and curriculum building—are Burgett’s colleagues Whitney Cohen and John Fisher. “The demand for our program was insane.” recalls Cohen, Life Lab’s education director and teacher training coordinator. Cohen designs the Life Lab curriculum, leads educator workshops nationwide and works with field administrators to design lesson plans for each school as templates throughout the country. “In the past six years, we’ve renewed our focus on the Pajaro Valley. We work in seven elementary schools. And we designed a two-acre Blooming Classroom in Watsonville with paid garden coordinators in some schools. Parcel tax provides pretty solid support here in Santa Cruz,” says Cohen. “We have to create a culture that includes this garden classroom. Life Lab educators are helping the teachers sustain, not simply start up, the gardens.”

As Burgett notes, “You have to build a culture first. You can’t simply gift a garden and expect it to perpetuate itself.” One of the original builders of the garden classroom, John Fisher developed programming for children and UCSC interns, and is now the director of programs and partnerships, focusing on sharing Life Lab models across the state and country. As outreach coordinator for the school garden support organization, his job is to build a broader network. “We constantly work on how to better sustain these gardens. We now have a national forum, webinars and leadership institutes. We train trainers,” says Fisher, who like everyone involved in Life Lab has a science degree, spent time as a grower here and abroad, and apprenticed with the UCSC Agroecology program. “We explore ways to support best practices for our participants’ own regions—Hawaii vs. South Dakota, for example,” he says. The Life Lab model has been borrowed, imitated, modified, and replanted across the country, he tells me, by groups like Edible Schoolyard, KidsGardening, FoodCorps, and Big Green. The internship program for teens

and undergraduates trains the next generation of Life Lab educators. “Over 80 come here each year, and then continue to work in other blooming classrooms,” says Fisher. “They learn to develop lessons, learn how to connect with children, and work with them. Reconnecting with our roots is the whole project.” Garden classroom expenses run close to $200,000 annually, half of that camp-related, the rest in fieldtrip costs. Since 2015, most of the funding has been private. “LifeLab does not receive any local public funds,” says Burgett. “New major commitments amounting to $1 million over three years have allowed the project to hire three new staff and expand national outreach.” But more is needed. Life Lab’s garden classroom finds support in other ways as well. Carolyn Rudolph, owner of Charlie Hong Kong restaurant, donates all the food for intern training. “Kids come and cook with us, and learn about vegetables every year. I would always ask the Life Lab kids to come. They would show up, and we’d all dress up as vegetables,” Rudolph recalls. “Then I found out that they were paying for lunches during their teacher training period. So I said we would donate lunch.” Rudolph, who takes her

As coordinator for the Watsonville School Garden Programs, Aisling Mitchell manages interns and develops lesson plans for seven elementary schools. A native of Ireland, Mitchell got her degree in Biology at UCSC and worked through UCSC’s Agroecology program before serving with Food Corps in Oakland and Santa Cruz’s Homeless Garden Project. Mitchell and I met at the garden classroom of Amesti Elementary School in Watsonville, joined by 24 rambunctious second graders. Once they got settled at three picnic tables in the shade of an oak tree, the children listened as Mitchell asked them about the seeds they find in the garden. “This is hands-on, inquiry-based science,” she explains to me. “They’re not learning facts. They’re learning how to ask questions. We use the five-E method: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate.” Kindergarten classes learn the basics about sun, soil, air, and water, she says. They’ll come out into the garden from K-2nd grade in fall and spring, and then in cooking and nutrition classes, 3rd-5th grades, during the winters. “This garden is a classroom,” Mitchell reminds me. “It’s not a planting garden.” Even so, the cherry tomato vines are bursting with ripe fruit, the sunflowers tall, and basil and fennel perfume the warm air. A classroom teacher had come out with the little ones, partly to help keep everybody focused, and partly to see what the kids are learning in the garden. Mitchell is responsible for what’s learned in the school gardens: “I recruit, hire, train, and develop curriculum,” she says. Life Lab has partnered with Watsonville schools, and thanks to

a generous flower grower, now has land on which it has started a 2-acre blooming classroom close to Pajaro Valley schools. “I have a challenge for you today,” Mitchell announces. “Close your eyes and think of all the ways that humans travel.” The kids squirm with excitement. They close their eyes. “Now turn to the person on your right, and tell them your answer.” Next she invites them to share and writes their answers on the board. Mitchell then asks the children how seeds get from one place to another, and as they raise their hands, eager to answer, she writes down their responses. Each picnic table is equipped with brightly colored markers and paper for the children draw and label seeds. “It’s got an academic core. This is not an extra recess,” she says. “The children learn about caring for the Earth. And there are lots of perks– it’s fun, and the children get to be outdoors. We let the kids know that this is an organic garden, and what that means.” There’s also a strong focus on literacy and English instruction. Mitchell writes the questions and the children’s answers on the large newsprint pad. Next, they think about how seeds travel. Mitchell encourages them to make connections. You can practically watch the lightbulbs turn on in each 7-year-old head as they draw the different varieties of seeds she distributes. Absorbed in coloring, the children produce drawings that are inventive, wild, silly, and overflowing with energy. Soon their 45-minute visit to this Life Lab blooming classroom will be over. But these lessons will stay with them for a lifetime. Celebrate 40 years of the Life Lab program on Sept. 29, at the UCSC Farm, as part of the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS) Harvest Festival. Life Lab will host family-oriented activities and a cake cutting. Help them blow out the candles, 12:30-5pm.

A DREAM OF SANTA CRUZ Patti Smith’s new memoir ‘Year of the Monkey’ opens at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz.

with booze and melancholia anyway. Instead, we rise before dawn and greet the sunrise on the beach, as the Koreans do. In our case, we largely have Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz to ourselves. Then it’s off

to the best breakfast we’ll have all year, at the Crow’s Nest. If Patti Smith’s new memoir Year of the Monkey is to be believed, a few years ago, while we were lingering over our crab omelettes and brioche,

Smith herself was about a mile up the coast, stumbling alone around an unfamiliar waterfront looking for breakfast and, more urgently, coffee. She found the Ideal Bar and Grill—which was, alas, closed—then

LITERATURE

to come, like a tremendous swarm of gnats, black clouds obscuring the paths of children reeling on bicycles.” Literal-minded readers looking for a documentary tone or for rockstar gossip are likely to come away perplexed, even mystified by this swirl of images, themes and references—Australia’s mystical Ayers Rock, Chilean novelist Roberto Bolaño, ’80s pop singer Belinda Carlisle, on and on. But fans of Smith’s previous memoirs should know the score by now. Smith’s poetic sensibility is driving the bus here, and anyone who takes Monkey on its own terms, as a 170-page prose poem, will be rewarded with a rich, kaleidoscopic narrative of surprises and insights. Death and loss haunt nearly every sentence of this book— again, no shock to anyone who has experienced Patti Smith’s work. The political horror that accompanies any memory of 2016 is referenced only obliquely—“an avalanche of toxicity infiltrating every outpost” as she called the 2016 election. Instead, the beating heart of the book comes with Smith’s visits to Shepard at his Kentucky horse ranch. Shepard, nearly as admired in his artistic realm as Smith in hers, was afflicted with ALS in his final years. And Smith’s account of the once-virile playwright—no longer in control of his body, darkly commenting “We’ve become a Becket play”—is heartbreaking. Smith, 72, has been as intimate with grief as any living artist, having survived the death of her first love and muse Robert Mapplethorpe and her husband, guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith, along with countless others close to her. Her previous books (and her particularly strong late-1990s string of albums) have been fearless meditations on not just coping with loss, but learning to incorporate the memories and spirits of those she’s lost in her own dream of life. She chronicles her string of losses in Monkey and adds, “Yet still I keep thinking that something wonderful is about to happen. Maybe tomorrow.” That’s not denial. That’s defiance.

plopped herself down at a bench to brood. Gifted with hindsight or clairvoyance, would I have abandoned my family to rescue Patti Smith from her coffee-less misery? Almost certainly. But The Year of the Monkey might have turned into a much different book. Dreamy, lyrical, even hallucinatory, Monkey is a wistful chronicle of Smith’s life in 2016, and the latest in a series of her enormously successful memoirs, preceded by the National Book Award-winning phenomenon Just Kids (2010) and its follow-up M Train (2015). The new book hinges on two significant losses in Smith’s life: the deaths of her close friend and music producer Sandy Pearlman, and even closer friend—and former lover— playwright Sam Shepard. But it begins in Santa Cruz, on New Year’s Day, with Smith waking up at the iconic Dream Inn, which throughout the book she calls “the Dream Motel” as a way to take ownership of it and enlist it as the book’s central metaphor. That New Year’s Day opening— Smith lost and alone in a part of Santa Cruz which is usually clogged with tourists, scrounging for a cup of Nescafe, and dialoguing with the Dream Inn sign—is key in setting a tone. A midwinter ghost-town vibe pervades this whole book, even as it follows Smith to San Diego, Venice Beach, Arizona, Kentucky, Seattle, and New York. Before she was a publishingindustry powerhouse, before she was a punk-rock icon, Patti Smith was a street poet. Considering that the world has consistently given her nothing but fame and applause for following her muse wherever it may take her, it’s no shock that her latest book defies all familiar categories, playfully exploring the seam between reality and fantasy. It’s full of half-buried dream imagery and mysterious characters who emerge from somewhere out of the American landscape. Smith herself calls this weird state of consciousness “skating along the fringe of dream,” and later, “more of a visitation, a prescience of things

WAITIN’ FOR AN INVITATION TO ARRIVE Former Members of Oingo Boingo perform on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Mountain Winery.

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dead Band’s Party

Former Members of Oingo Boingo reunite BY STEVE PALOPOLI

y parents took me to some concerts when I was a kid, but Oingo Boingo was the first concert I cared enough about to get to myself—which is saying something, since I wasn’t even old enough to drive back in 1988. But at least one of my high school friends was, and she drove us four hours to see Boingo at the Greek Theater in L.A. I knew every line to every song, and sang them all at the top of my lungs like the obnoxious teenager I was. To everyone I ruined that show for, consider this a long overdue apology. I was pretty sure that night that life was not going to get any better. It did—I mean, I’d never even had a bagel by then, let alone sex. But still, it was one of those “first concert” experiences you never forget.

The weird thing is, me and my other friends in Central California who liked Oingo Boingo thought they were, like, you know, superstars. Maybe not a household name, but c’mon, “Dead Man’s Party?” “Weird Science?” “Only a Lad?” Who didn’t know Oingo Boingo’s crazed, spooky, ska-influenced take on New Wave? A lot of people, it turns out. In fact, Johnny “Vatos” Hernandez, who was Oingo Boingo’s drummer, and has brought together some of his former bandmates to play the Boingo oeuvre as Former Members of Oingo Boingo—which comes to Mountain Winery in Saratoga on Saturday—says that outside of L.A. (where heavy play on pioneering alternative-rock station KROQ did kind of make them local stars) and pockets along the West Coast and in

the Southwest, the band never really did make a dent before breaking up in 1995—and for good reason. “It was always kind of a cult band,” says Hernandez. “It never really got a chance. We had a reluctant rock star in the band, Danny Elfman—he only liked to tour for six weeks after an album, and that’s all we would do.” Elfman is now of course better known for being possibly the world’s most in-demand film composer, his decades-long collaboration with Tim Burton, and being the singing voice of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas. After sustaining hearing damage from years of playing rock shows, and deep into his composing work, he swore off ever returning to Oingo Boingo again. And he wasn’t sure he

wanted anyone else to, either. “This is not something that Danny wanted to revisit. We didn’t start out on friendly terms when I said I wanted to start playing the band’s music again,” admits Hernandez. “We had to fight with lawyers and all kinds of stuff to even say that we were Oingo Boingo. First we did the tribute to Halloween, and then I said, ‘Danny, let me just say Boingo Dance Party,’ and he goes ‘Uh, alright.’ And then it was, ‘Danny, let me just say Oingo Boingo Dance Party, how’s that?’ ‘OK.’ And then five minutes later, ‘Danny …’ Finally, he goes ‘Why don’t you just call it Oingo Boingo Former Members? You’ll cut right to the chase.’ Two years later, I finally listened to him. So that’s our current name. Handpicked by him.” The reconstituted band—now featuring Boingo superfan Brendan McCreary on vocals—plays songs from every era of the band. Besides the “hits,” they also play a lot of fanfavorite deep cuts. Hernandez has been surprised to see a new generation of fans in their 20s and 30s at the shows—who also know all the words. “We played the Whiskey, and I was sitting there going ‘Who are these people?’” he says. “They were all singing along with ‘No Spill Blood,’ ‘Only a Lad,’ ‘We Close Our Eyes,’—‘Good For Your Soul’ even.” Though Oingo Boingo never had a pop breakthrough, the band had a huge influence on the ’90s ska revival that came later. Though they never got a lot of credit for it in the media, guitarist Steve Bartek—who is also part of the Former Members group— says that doesn’t matter much. He’s been impressed and gratified that bands like No Doubt (who wanted him to produce their second album) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have so freely acknowledged their debt to Boingo. “The fact that the musicians say those things means a whole lot,” says Bartek. The members of Oingo Boingo don’t worry about their legacy, he says. “No one’s sad that we were a little ahead.” Former Members of Oingo Boingo perform with the Tubes and Dramarama on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Mountain Winery, 14831 Pierce Rd., Saratoga. 7pm. mountainwinery.com.

BREAKTHROUGH LIFE TOOLS FOR MEN

HEALTHY ROLE MODELS Graduates of the Breakthrough Men’s Community program report a range of benefits, including improved relationships with their children.

Male Call

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

The Santa Cruz course will be held at the Monterey Coast Preparatory School in Scotts Valley and with introductory evenings on October 1, 29, and November 5, 7-9pm. Visit breakthroughformen.org for more information.

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.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND THE RANDY SAVAGES

If you’re seeking to further your knowledge on wrestling, rather than streaming another documentary on Netflix, you can simply show up to a performance of local pop-punk band the Randy Savages and listen closely to the lyrics.

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We try to be as historically accurate as possible. We put a lot of research into the songs,” says bassist/vocalist Jesse Williams. “We use a bunch of wrestling jargon and name-drop wrestlers. We get pretty immersed in it. Oh yeah!”

Of course, you will likely learn the most about Randy Savage, as each band member is dressed as the Macho Man himself: tights, wrestling belts, headbands, and super cool sunglasses. Several songs are about Savage, some are covers from his long-forgotten rap album, others are from his point of view—like “Dig It,” which gives a glimpse into Savage’s mind as he’s lacing up his boots, preparing to get out there and be interviewed by Mean Gene before the big fight. “His dialogue is just great. You can turn it into lyrics pretty easily,” Williams says. “There’s no lack of inspiration.” Originally, Williams proposed a band that played pop-punk songs about wrestling to guitarist Nick Carroll, who loved the idea. Coincidentally, Carroll happened to start wrestling himself. He’s taught Williams some moves, and they have been known to spar a little during sets. “He’ll do a foot stomp or maybe a groin chomp. Give me a big knee to the nuts,” says Williams. “Then we’ll go back to playing songs.” AARON CARNES 7pm. Saturday, Sept. 28, Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 423-7117.

WEDNESDAY 9/25 COUNTRY

PAUL CAUTHEN Texas country singer Paul Cauthen’s deep baritone has a striking resemblance to the great Johnny Cash. But aside from a big cowboy hat and lyrics that indulge in self-destructive debauchery, that’s where Cauthen’s similarities with Cash end. Cauthen will challenge your idea of what country can be by mixing funk, R&B and gospel with the classic country sound. It works surprisingly well. He wrote his new record Room 41 isolated in a Texas hotel over two years, giving in to his unhealthiest impulses. It’s a mix of fire-breathing preacher and unrepentant sinner all wrapped into one. AC 8:30pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12 adv/$15 door. 479-1854.

COUNTRY

VICTORIA BAILEY Victoria Bailey is something of an enigma. The Huntington Beach artist plays country music, folk tunes, pop numbers, and even jazz songs. And while we’re still trying to piece it all together, one thing is undeniable:

Victoria Bailey’s talent is endless and effortless. Her sweet, smooth and sultry voice glides over the golden road of melodies supplied by her backing band or her own guitar strumming. MAT WEIR 9pm. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 9/26 DREAM-POP

AMO AMO If you listen to psychedelic dreampop, it’s required you wear peasant dresses and macramé necklaces with lockets full of potpourri satchels. Don’t try to argue with me. Or else, how will you thoroughly enjoy dancing to Amo Amo? How will you get with the flow, how will you connect? You could put flowers in your hair, or glue tiny gems under your eyes. Intricate henna hand tattoos work. Gauzy veils would be gorgeous as you twirl and sway to Amo Amo. Rings, trinkets and jeweled headbands are all wonderfully visual cues you’ve lost within the mellow, spiritually attuned rhythms. AMY BEE 9pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 9/27 INDIE

KENDRA MCKINLEY Kendra McKinley’s Facebook page says her genre is “Girl Music.” That’s odd, because I have a lapel pin that asserts “Girl is not a genre.” Hmm. One of us is being funny. McKinley does have a great sense of humor, and it runs through all her girlie tunes, often playful and sarcastic simultaneously. From chamber-pop to funk influences, the songs maintain the integrity and wit of an accomplished singer-songwriter who dares to be gentle, sensual, confident, and silly all at once. AB 8pm. Lillie Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $20. 703-4183.

On songs like “Skin,” and “Your Dog,” the Mommies sound a lot like indie’s golden age: all syrupy beats, slinking bass parts and light jangle. Then, on single “Scorpio Rising,” they go full Nashville, matching the lush acoustics with a massive, yearning chorus, and a video that features a Chevrolet in a floodlit

field, Tennessee plates and all. Led by the plaintive and unaffected voice of singer Sophie Allison, Soccer Mommy will pick you up and drop you off. MH 9pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-4135.

TUESDAY 10/1 JAZZ

MADELEINE PEYROUX Vocalist Madeleine Peyroux made one of jazz’s most dramatic debuts of the 1990s with Dreamland, an album that seemed to emerge from a hazy time warp where the edges of Billie Holiday’s voice had been buffed away with a soft cotton cloth. And just as suddenly as she appeared, Peyroux was gone, unheard for years. Her second act, launched with 2004’s Careless Love, has revealed a more complicated and curious artist. Her subsequent albums found her mining a century of American songs, while writing new material with brilliant musical partners. Her latest release Anthem is a defiant response to the 2016 election.

Sudan (the country of his ancestral origin) and Ohio. As a young adult musician, he did session work with indie artists ranging from Caribou to Yeasayer. When he finally made the jump to releasing his own music under the moniker Sinkane in 2007, no genre was off the table. With the last two albums (Life & Livin’ it and Dépaysé), Sinkane has verged on creating his own entirely new style with elements as varied as prog-rock, free-jazz, Sudanese-pop, electronic, and funk.

Is Minnesota rapper Yung Gravy a parody of rap music, or its logical next step? This is the question you’ll be asking if you click on one of his many viral videos where he raps about MILFs and rides around on a Jet Ski in his bathrobe. He’s got banging trap beats and samples wholesome doo-wop songs like “Mr. Sandman” while spitting the raunchiest lines that he may or may not be serious about. Regardless, it’s party music. And no one ever said that a good party needs to be serious.

FILM

DEAR ABBEY All the fans’ favorite characters have returned for the big-screen version of ‘Downton Abbey.’

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Comedy Of Manors

Upbeat approach in lavish, gorgeous adaptation of public-television hit ‘Downton Abbey’ BY LISA JENSEN

o one knows Downton Abbey better than Julian Fellowes, creator and longtime scriptwriter for the insanely popular PBS television series—unless you count the untold gazillions of rabid fans who embraced the show during its five years on the air. As a token of thanks, Fellowes treats his fans like royalty in the movie adaptation of Downton Abbey. We’re invited to join the king and queen of England on a visit to Downton, an event of such epic pomp and ceremony that it takes a big screen to contain it all. The faithful will adore every juicy frame of the Crawley family’s

cinematic adventure—the subtle rustling of every beaded gown (the year is 1927); every fashionably bobbed and waved hairdo; every pointed remark between beloved characters, both upstairs and downstairs. Beneath the dazzling narrative focus on the royals’ impending visit, the busy subplots are devoted to catching up with as many familiar characters as possible. But there’s also just enough storyline skipping along the movie’s glittery surface to entertain the uninitiated, propelling things to a satisfying conclusion (or two), stylishly done. Scripted by Fellowes for director Michael Engler, another Downton

veteran, the movie takes a more lighthearted approach to storytelling, without so much of the angst that can be developed in the episodic TV format over time. The news that King George V and Queen Mary will be spending one night at Downton, en route to some other royal engagement nearby, throws the household into turmoil. It’s a huge honor for affable Lord Crawley and his American-born wife (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern). But while take-charge daughter Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) faces a logistical nightmare, the downstairs staff frets over how they will feed, serve and wait upon such grand guests.

Turns out they may not get the chance when the royal traveling staff arrives to take over—complete with officious butler, waspish housekeeper, a snooty French chef (Philippe Courbet, straight out of a Monty Python routine), and an entire fleet of footmen and maids. To restore order, Lady Mary coaxes the former Downton butler, the indomitable Carson (Jim Carter), out of retirement. The image of Carson striding purposefully up the long and winding drive to Downton, shimmering on a hill like Camelot, is the movie’s most iconic moment. When the Downton staff rebels at having to serve the very servants who are replacing them, a plot is hatched to take back their turf, led buy the ever-capable ladies’ maid Anna (Joanne Frogatt), steadfast valet Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle), and feisty cook Mrs. Patmore (Lesley Nicol). In another subplot, distant relation Maud Bagshaw (Imelda Staunton) is about to leave her estate to her young companion Lucy (Tuppence Middleton), provoking a showdown with Dowager Countess Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith), clan matriarch and staunch defender of the Crawley family legacy. Smith, of course, is Fellowes’ secret weapon. She makes an elegant feast out of every syllable he feeds her, and while the writing is impeccable, it needs Smith’s imperious, pitch-perfect delivery—especially her acerbic exchanges with Violet’s companion Isobel Merton (Penelope Wilton)—to steal every scene she’s in. Chances are, if you have a favorite regular cast member, he or she is in here somewhere. The darker complexities of all their relationships can only be hinted at here, but at least Fellowes and company provide two hours of easy entertainment, with plenty to look at along the way. DOWNTON ABBEY *** (out of four) With Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Elizabeth McGovern, Imelda Staunton, Robert James-Collier, and Maggie Smith. Written by Julian Fellowes. Directed by Michael Engler. A Focus Features release. Rated PG. 122 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES ABOMINABLE Since this movie first went into development in 2010, there have been two other animated films about a yeti having whimsical adventures. I wish there was a word for that kind of terrible luck. It’s not just bad luck, it’s … it’s … nope, can’t think of one. Directed by Jill Culton. Featuring the voices of Chloe Bennet, Albert Tsai, Eddie Izzard, and Sarah Paulson. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP)

JUDY It’s not often that a popculture figure is so iconic that you know just from looking at a first name in the title who the biopic movie is going to be about. But that’s certainly the case here. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the story of Judge Judy. What, it’s not? Oh! Is it Judy Blume then? No? Judy Davis, maybe—I loved her in Naked Lunch. Well, who the heck is it about then? What? Who is Judy Garland? That is definitely not ringing a bell. Do you mean Jeff Garland, the guy from Curb Your Enthusiasm? No, then it’d be called Jeff. I don’t know, I’m drawing a blank here. Directed by Rupert Goold. Starring Renee Zellweger as Garland (Judy, not Jeff). (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP)

MILES DAVIS: BIRTH OF THE COOL The No. 1 complaint about this documentary from critics seems to be that it’s packed with interviews and there’s not enough time devoted to just hearing the music. Um, is it just me, or is that what the man’s actual records are for? The widespread lack of understanding about jazz history and form in its own native country (and I am definitely including myself here) suggests these people need to relax, sit back and try to learn something. Directed by Stanley Nelson. 105 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 groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING AD ASTRA Director James Grey tries out a Terence Malick style in Ad Astra to crack the enigmatic calm of a Neil Armstrong type. Brad Pitt, bewitchingly cool and handsome in a space suit, plays near-future astronaut Major Roy McBryde. He is a famous man and a stranger to himself. In voice over, he muses about the lack of emotion that’s caused his wife (Liv Tyler) to leave him. Roy’s father Clifford (Tommy Lee Jones) was a renowned astronaut who abandoned his family on a mission. Pitt’s humanity keeps one hooked through this. The lost-father drama can be tedious in the deftest hands. But this time, the celestial backdrop adds some allegorical freshness to the subject of fathers so obsessed with their business, so closed off from their families, that they might as well be in icecold orbit around one of the outer planets. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (RvB) AQUARELA OK, I know you’re thinking, “A documentary about water? What’s next? A film about watching paint dry?” But this doc from Russian director Victor Kossakovsky is already winning acclaim for bringing emotion, suspense and drama to his meditation about humankind’s interaction with H2O. So go see it! Also, look for my upcoming film Watching Paint Dry. (PG) 90 minutes. (SP) BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON Can a movie be a comedy and an inspirational drama and not suck? That’s the question this new film from first-time writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo seeks to answer with a “yes.” Based on the real-life story of Colaizzo’s roommate Brittany O’Neill (whose photos are shown at the end), the film features Jillian Bell (getting her first starring role after impressing in Workaholics and Eastbound and Down) as a woman who takes up

running to lose weight and ends up training for the New York City Marathon. Co-starring Michaela Watkins, Micah Stock and Alice Lee. (R) 104 minutes. (SP) DOWNTON ABBEY Reviewed this issue. (PG) 122 minutes. FAST AND FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS AND SHAW HOBBS: Me played by Rock! Me hate you, Shaw! SHAW: Me played by Jason Statham! Me hate you, Rock … I mean, Hobbs! BRIXTON LORE: Hello, I’m the villain in this movie. I’m played by Idris Elba. My body has been equipped with cybergenetic physical technology that has turned me into a sort of supersoldier, and I’ve gone rogue from MI6 to become a terrorist mastermind. HOBBS: What now? You no say big words, Idris Elbow! You want be in Fast and Furious spinoff? You talk like this now! BRIXTON LORE: Uh … OK, very well, very well. Me … make … stuff … blow up now? Hobbs: Ooh, me no hate you now, Shaw! Now me hate blow up guy! SHAW: Let’s drive fast! Directed by David Leitch. (PG-13) 135 minutes. (SP) GOOD BOYS Little kids swearing—it never gets old, right? In fact, the makers of Superbad, Sausage Party and other raunchfests have apparently decided that the littler they are, the funnier it is. And so we have Good Boys, a comedy about 6th graders saying bad words, being wrong about sex, and unknowingly using sex toys. And you thought high-concept comedy was dead. Directed by Gene Stupnitsky. Starring Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Will Forte. (R) 89 minutes. (SP) HUSTLERS Remember that New York magazine article about strippers embezzling money from their Wall Street patrons? No? Well, your failure to get around to that stack of magazines you said you were going to read back in 2015 apparently didn’t faze studio execs, because they made a movie about it. But don’t worry, they probably didn’t read it, either. Written and

directed by Lorene Scafaria. Starring Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez and Julia Stiles. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) IT: CHAPTER TWO It used to be that if there was particularly epic source material for something, people would say, “You could never fit that in a movie! It’s more like a TV show or a miniseries.” In fact, the first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1,138-page novel It was a 1990 TV miniseries that is mostly remembered now for Tim Curry playing Pennywise the Clown. It was shown over two nights, cost $12 million, and ran just over three hours, not counting commercials. Times have changed: at 169 minutes, this second part of the $100-million-plus film adaptation alone nearly matches the running time of the entire miniseries (the first installment from 2017 ran a comparatively brisk 135 minutes). Directed by Andy Muschietti. (R) 169 minutes. (SP) LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE In a hilariously stupid negative review of this documentary, the slobberingly conservative National Review tried to argue that considering Ronstadt’s career through a political lens is an egregious distortion of cultural history. Ultimately, the only thing they proved is that they know next to nothing about Ronstadt, whose political activism is legendary even in a music industry known for its earnest do-gooding. As always, you can count on this time-tested rule: if the National Review doesn’t like a movie, it’s great. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. (PG13) 95 minutes. (SP) OFFICIAL SECRETS Gavin Hood’s tightly constructed and efficient suspense drama zeroes in on a few intrepid individuals facing tough moral choices as they uncover the campaign of misinformation and manipulation by the U.S. to try to legitimize its invasion of Iraq in the wake of 9/11. Keira Knightly brings stoic determination as Katharine Gun, an unassuming translator with Britain’s information-

gathering GCHQ, whose decision to leak a sensitive memo to the press to try to avert the war got her hauled up on charges of violating the Official Secrets Act. Ralph Fiennes and Matt Smith are terrific in supporting roles. The movie almost makes one nostalgic for the Bush era, when the revelation of bald-faced lying and corruption still had the power to incite outrage and moral courage. Those were the days. (R) 112 minutes. (LJ) ONCE UPON A TIME … IN HOLLYWOOD There was a lot of outrage when Quention Tarantino announced his next movie would include the story of the Manson murders. Apparently, people thought it might glorify Manson, a concern that the casting of beadyeyed Damon “Let Me Be Your Creepy Guy” Herriman in the role should have allayed. Also, this is the filmmaker who killed off Hitler and gave Southern slave owners their comeuppance—fulfilling revenge fantasies is kinda his thing. It’ll be interesting to see how he works this true-crime angle into a fictional story of over-the-hill TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in the fading days of 1960s Hollywood. Co-starring Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell and Al Pacino. (R) 161 minutes. (SP) RAMBO: LAST BLOOD If you had to think of a name for a Rambo parody movie, wouldn’t Last Blood be pretty close to the top of the list? Is there anything that represents the sheer bone-headed terribleness of this character and all the blood-soaked, bullet-hell films Sylvester Stallone made after the original First Blood better than calling the last film in the series Last Blood? I’m almost disappointed that the tagline isn’t something equally making-youexpel-iced-tea-from-your-nostrils ridiculous, like “He’s good to the last drop.” In fact, the actual tagline is, “Everyone has one last fight left in them.” Uh, were they thinking of Stallone’s other franchise, the Rocky movies? Directed by Adrian Grunberg. (R) 89 minutes. (SP)

GRASS-FED The annual Gourmet Grazing on the Green benefit returns to Aptos Village on Saturday, Oct. 5.

Fall Foodie Lineup Grazing on the Green, a master veggie class and imagining life sans salmon BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ould anything be more laid back, 100% California than live outdoor music, spicy food and cold beer? Nope. That’s why Aptos Village Park is the place to be next Saturday, Oct. 5, when the popular food, fine wine and craft beer fest known as Gourmet Grazing on the Green pops up once again. This festival has it all, from a shuttle service to and from Cabrillo College parking lot K, to an etched commemorative wine glass for your collection. Tickets include an afternoon of food and drink sampling and all the live music fit to rock. From Alfaro to Zameen, this

event has your food needs covered. Top local purveyors like Hula’s, Friend in Cheeses, Shadowbrook Restaurant, and Ella’s at the Airport are regulars at Grazing. Wineries like Bonny Doon, Hallcrest, Kathryn Kennedy, and Storrs will doubtless be on hand, along with Venus Spirits and Discretion Brewing. But there are dozens and dozens of sampling opportunities while you stretch out on the grass and kick back. Remember to pack your hat, sunscreen and a layer or two—sunshine is expected. The event provides shaded tents, table umbrellas and chairs for guests to use. And for such a good cause. The

Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group raises money to fund new research and support organizations such as Hospice of Santa Cruz. Tickets $65 adv/$70 door, minors $35, designated drivers $40/$50. sccbg.org/gourmetgrazingonthegreen.

LOVE APPLE FARM VEGGIE CLASS From master grower Cynthia Sandberg comes a terrific workshop, Winter Vegetable Gardening, on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10am-4pm. Learn how to start and tend to a successful vegetable garden in our mild California winters. Over 30

Continuing its Sustainable Coastal Communities salon, Soif Wine Bar is partnering with UCSC’s Coastal Science and Policy program to zero in on the topic of “A World without Salmon.” A chilling prospect that will be examined by local experts with global expertise. The dinner and discussion features National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Director and salmon expert Steve Lindley, along with Ian Cole and Charles Lambert of Ocean2table, a community supported fishery. Ocean2table will also provide local and sustainable seafood for the evening’s multi-course menu by Soif Chef Tom McNary. Lindley, a researcher at UCSC, and the Ocean2table entrepreneurs, will lead the discussion on the history of salmon fishing, the current state of the industry and more. The Oct. 15 event is $75 per person, plus $25 for wine pairing. Reservations are required and can be made by calling Soif at 423-2020. The evening starts off with a small reception at 6:30pm, followed by seated dinner and discussion at 7pm. soifwine.com.

SALAD DAZE

Two of the area’s top playwrights are fond of specific salads. One always orders the dinosaur kale salad with grilled Fogline Farms chicken at Avanti Restaurant. The other has been seen digging into the cherry tomato and garbanzo bean-intensive Insalata Mista at Cafe Iveta. You’d do well to sample these bowls of greens with benefits.

earching around the wine section of Deluxe Market in Aptos, I came across a Villa dei Sogni Vino Rosso. Most wines at Deluxe have helpful information for each bottle, and a tag on the Vino Rosso informed that it was produced by local couple Jack and Lori Burkett, along with Lori’s brother and sister-in-law Garth and Barbara Shirreffs. A blend of 45% Sangiovese, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Zinfandel, their Vino Rosso 2013 ($26) is a rich mouthful of these three red varietals. Estate-grown in the vineyard of the Burkett and Shirreffs families, the wine has notes of Sangiovese’s plush cherry fruit, and distinctive black currant, tobacco, coffee, and mint notes from the Cab. “The blend is subtly different, depending on the prominent grape that is harvested each year,” Lori Burkett says. Grapes are tended to and harvested by family and friends, and fruit is turned into wine with the help of Midnight Cellars in Paso Robles. Family members of the Burketts planted the vineyard in 2001 on

a sunny patch of land near Lake Nacimiento, and their first harvest was in 2003. But soon after, Lori’s husband Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lost the ability to speak or walk. “He was given one year to live, but is still going strong after 18 years,” says Lori. “He has kept a positive spirit.” Initially, Jack went from being wheelchair-bound, hardly able to move, to walking with a brace on his leg. Lori credits the Cabrillo College Adaptive PE and Stroke and Disability Center with keeping Jack healthy. The Burketts now give 10% of wine sales to Cabrillo in gratitude. Named Villa dei Sogni, which means “house of dreams” in Italian, this robust Vino Rosso 2013 pairs well with any hearty meal. “This has been a dream come true,” says Lori. “With the grace of God, the love and support of our family, church family and friends, Jack is thriving and enjoying life. He beat the odds.” Villa dei Sogni Vino Rosso is carried at Café Sparrow, Café Cruz and East End Gastropub. villadeisogniwine.com.

BAGEL BITES Firefly Coffee makes up to 80 bagels a day, which have been known to sell out quickly. PHOTO: MEGHAN PUICH

Firefly

Santa Cruz’s tiny-but-mighty coffee and bagel stop BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

What lead you to buy this café? TANG: We were in San Francisco, my husband and I, and when I got pregnant, a colleague of mine let us know about a coffee shop in Santa Cruz that was for sale. My husband immigrated from Cuba, and before you know it, I’m in my third trimester and buying a coffee shop. My husband was still trying to get used to American life, and there we were.

You got a new shop at the same time as a new child? How was that? Yeah, it was a challenge. But it’s cool

now, because every time I’m in the shop, people ask me how my daughter is doing, because they met her when she was in the womb. Every now and then, she comes to the shop with me.

What’s special about your bagels? People love that we boil them and we do everything in house. Firefly is a tiny but mighty little shop, so when people find out that we make them in house and boil them, it leaves an impression. We can make up to 80 bagels per day, and depending on the day, they sell out pretty quick.

Any menu expansions plans? We’ve kept the menu pretty much the same since we bought it. We wanted to stay true to the offering and what Firefly has been. We toyed around with expanding the hours to get a beer and wine license, but that’s not really come to fruition given that we have a child. Because my husband is Cuban, sometimes we will do Cuban espresso and will make Cuban cortados. fireflycoffee.com.

aitlin Parker wasn’t happy with the bagel options in Santa Cruz, so she started making her own. She opened Firefly Coffee House as a coffee destination on lower Pacific Avenue and eventually decided to incorporate bagels. After moving to Lake Tahoe and opening sister café Dragonfly Coffee, she sold Firefly to Angela Tang, who has maintained the homey, comfortable feel of the café and continued the homemade bagel legacy.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES AUTUMN AND LIBRA–LET CHOICE BEGIN Early Monday morning, the sun entered Libra, sign of balance and poise. Libra, a cardinal sign, initiates autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Autumn begins the “dark half of the year.” It also signals the Soul half of the year. From now ’til winter solstice, the amount of light available each day lessens. The days become shorter and darker. There is a part of us that will long for the rituals (Ray 7) of light to protect us during the darkening months. We look toward the Festivals of Lights soon to begin. Autumn equinox, a moment in time when there is balance of light and dark, expansion and contraction, between summer and winter, can feel bittersweet. Autumn holds a different sort of

promise—that hidden within darkness is light, the Soul (light) hidden within the darkness of matter. This light is to be birthed at Winter Solstice. In Libra, humanity is given a choice. Libra is called the “sign wherein humanity chooses” which path to follow—back to Virgo, or moving forward to Scorpio. Do we choose to continue with material (Virgo) experiences, or are we strong enough to enter into the tests and trials of discipleship (Scorpio)? Libra allows us an interlude in which to ponder these choices, and then, as one of the signs of crisis, Libra forces us to choose. We stumble about within this crisis until the right choice is made.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You think about loving your work and those you work with, and communication is good with everyone (though you must battle against critical thoughts). You seek to help others more, which inspires them, and then work is even better and more fulfilling. Loyalty toward you emerges, new goals are considered, workflow increases—and so does success. It’s like a river flowing harmoniously for everyone. It begins with you, the leader.

It’s your birthday month. What do you wish for this year? Plans created long ago are slowly being implemented. I hope all your dreams and aspirations come true. I hope for you solitude that leads to revelations and kindness that leads to forgiveness. Some hidden issues are not quite ready for the light of day. For now, you’re organizing inner things so you can later order and organize outer relationships and environments.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You may not be romantic outwardly because of so much work to be done to insure humanity and the future’s sustainability. But this doesn’t mean you feel less love. It’s just that you’re focused, determined and disciplined. You must follow your own instincts and intuition and not let relationship concerns get in the way. You have been tending to others non-stop for weeks. You must rest now. The world goes on. And new challenges are ahead.

Plan to have a social get-together of friends and acquaintances you care about. Include local sustainable and seasonal foods and biodynamic wines. Scatter several controversial books around, select some Satie, Chopin or Liszt (salon music). Consider an afternoon high tea. Suggest a subject to discuss, like how to create communities, the focus and purpose of community, who would be attracted, and how community would prepare everyone for the Aquarian Era to come. Criticism isn’t invited.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Mental, emotional and physical stability are concerns now, and so you must assess, tend to, ask for, create, and call forth what is not only safe but also what comforts and creates security. We are in an era of destruction, darkness (Kali Yuga), change, disruption, hope, anticipation, choice, and opportunity. Soon it will be time to make plans. Unusual plans. Something is ending. And something new begins. Watch for both.

Do all that you can to create compromise between you and those you work with. Things small can escalate into things quite large. This includes good things, so give those around you what they want and need (as well and as much as you can) and this will be reflected back to you in terms of recognition and rewards. Be dashing as you perform these acts of kindness. You’ll become even more attractive and radiant. You’ve done this before. You’re honing your skills of charm and intelligence.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You feel the need to communicate with everyone. You realize everyone has a gift, and if they ask enough questions, that gift emerges and then you learn more and more about those in your environments. You, too, have gifts, and when you come out from under your shell—communicate and share—we see your gifts, too, and we learn from them. You are very perceptive now, more than usual. However, something saddens you, something obstructs your happiness. What is it?

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

There’s an inner and outer reality concerning interactions with individuals and groups, and also your creativity and leadership. Something is in opposition. You think you have to choose one over the other. Do you? Oppositions are actually only different sides of the same golden coin. Eventually they integrate, unify and synthesize. What is occurring that seems in opposition? Is it spiritual, emotional or material factors, needs of self or others, or a feeling of being worthy or unworthy?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You could feel overwhelmed by too many events flooding your reality, not eating adequately and in a timely matter, or simply because you’ve been “on” for so long. The work you are doing has much to do with what you’ve done before. It seems perhaps you’re completing a long cycle of this type of work. You create pleasant and intelligent environments wherever you are. Many look to you for vital information, ideas, beauty, engagement, and love. Know you are valuable in many ways.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Soon (or now), you may want to discuss finances, daily events, schedules, relationships, etc. with someone, perhaps a parent, partner, family, or close friend. Speak with candor, ease and a neutral tone. Do not be frightened to discuss anything. Sharing eases your heart. When we speak the truth, truth holds us. When needed, ask for teamwork, understanding and consideration. In your daily life things change and then change some more. You too bring change.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

You want to talk about issues, values and ideas important to you—things not often communicated, including your beliefs, how you want to serve, your new emerging identity and all the things you hope, wish and plan for. You’re practical, orderly and organized in your approach. These are important assets, especially when you look deep within. Gradually, a new sense of selfidentity emerges.

The focus is on relationships, close and intimate. You find yourself of many minds—one seeks to create harmony and goodwill, another to increase discipline and efficiency, and another to forge ahead with personal ideas and plans. It seems they are all in opposition. Ponder deeply on them; visualize them working together, and eventually a synthesis (unity) comes forth. It may be difficult at first. The time is not quite yet. Patience.

REAL ESTATE OF MIND

After my recent series detailing the growth of Silicon Valley and how it has affected the Santa Cruz real estate market over the last 30 years, a number of people reached out to ask different versions of the same question: Who exactly is selling their homes these days and where are they going? And who is buying those homes and where are they coming from?

Great question. Here’s a very simple way to think about the big picture: By far, the majority of people selling their homes are older folks who are moving elsewhere, out of Santa Cruz. And also by far, the majority of people buying those homes are younger people coming from somewhere else, outside of Santa Cruz. (Most, but not all, from counties clustered in and around the Bay area.) Whether some locals want to acknowledge it or not, this has been true for some time. But it has never been more true than it’s been these last five or six years during the long run up in appreciation our market has experienced. In other words, the pace of our outward/inward migration has accelerated since 2013 due to rising prices, the changing nature of the market and, I would add, the inevitable aging of the local population. I coined my own pet term for this all a while back. I call it the Santa Cruz version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because sometimes it feels like every night after we go to sleep, a few more of our neighbors are mysteriously scooped up and replaced by alien “pod” people before we wake up the next morning. They kind of look the same but they’re not. And as the fear goes, almost overnight, the character of Santa Cruz is being altered in profound ways beneath the surface. We can’t quite pinpoint it exactly but one day we’ll end up reaching a critical mass/inflection point that robs us of our inherent Santa Cruz-ness. Summoning up a vision of Kevin McCarthy frantically screaming “You’re next! You’re next!” at oblivious passersby, in the original movie version of Body Snatchers, as a metaphor for the anti-Communist, antiMcCarthy-ite paranoias of the 1950s may be a bit of overkill here. Judging by some of the occasional hate mail I get blaming me for encouraging/letting Silicon Valley people buy houses here, maybe not. All I can say to those distraught people who want to retroactively erect a wall at the top of the Summit, or to local culture-change deniers that insist everything should stay the same, is: that ship has sailed. We are already living after the pod people have arrived.

Testimonials:

Thank you Becky for making the sale of our home so easy. You were helping us before, during and after it was over. Your knowledge of the market gave us the confidence to be sure that our house was priced right, and would sell quickly. You took the time to explain the paperwork that goes with the process and made Marilyn and I comfortable with a lot of things that were new to us. I especially liked the fact that you kept track of how the house was showing and let us know what the people going though it liked and disliked. I tend to worry, but when we had questions you always called us back with answers. Thank you for the secure feeling that we had knowing that you were really looking out for us. It really was a pleasure having you work for us. Thanks Becky!

WINE FOOD PAIRING CAST & IRON SKILLET PORTERHOUSE STEAK

■ PORTERHOUSE STEAKS, USDA Choice/

One 2 to 2-1/2-inch thick porterhouse steak Kosher sale and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 tablespoons butter, cubed Optional: garlic closed and springs of fresh thyme or rosemary

How To Make It

Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the broiler. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Season the steak heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the steak in the skillet and do not move it. Cook until a nice sear forms, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut both the filet and sirloin from the bone. Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Put the bone back into the skillet and reassemble the steak around it (it should look like the steak originally did) with the seared side up. Top with pieces of butter. Add a couple of cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, if desired. Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the pan drippings over the steak.

S HOPP ER’S SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Hair stylist, Fringe Salon; Rare Bird Salon Hobbies: The beach and hiking with with son, hanging with friends, step classes, eating out, cooking

Who or what first got you shopping here? I think I was barbecuing with friends and was told Shopper’s had the best meat.They were right! I’m still shopping here twice a week, 21years later. Shopper’s seems like it’s very well run: they consistently stock the brands and products one expects to find when shopping here; it’s always really clean; and you see many of the same employees who have worked here for years. I feel that it’s important to support locally-owned businesses such as Shopper’s. They’re very much in tune with what locals want, and that’s another major reason why I shop here.

What’s usually on your shopping list? Our meals consist of fresh, healthy, natural and simply prepared foods. I love Shopper’s produce! I had worked at another local market and feel Shopper’s produce is the best in the county. It’s always perfect—the avocados!— and the variety—the array of mushrooms—is better than everywhere else. I get a range of marinated products from the meat counter— so easy!—including family-favorite bloody Mary skirt steaks. I like that I can ask the butchers about their products such as Mary’s organic air-chilled chicken or where the meat comes from.That’s important.

You find Shopper’s to be family friendly? Oh yes. My son, Zephyr, likes coming to Shopper’s.The environment here is friendly and it’s not overwhelming to him—or me— like the big stores are, with their countless aisles filled with junk. I like that I can navigate Shopper’s fast, and there are no long lines at the checkout. Shopper’s has been here a long time and continues to stand out even with all the new competition.They provide store-wide quality — which is everything to me — something I’d pay more for, but that’s not the case at Shopper’s. I know this because I’ve compared prices in the past.

“I had worked at another local market and feel that Shopper’s produce is the best in the county. It’s always perfect!”
