OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE
Among those who work with homeless families and individuals, there’s something called the “cycle of homelessness,” a chart of the factors which can throw someone’s life into a continuous spiral of setbacks. Here in Santa Cruz, we have something that might be called a “cycle of homelessness awareness.” It circled around again in 2012 and 2013, as public safety climbed the list of top local issues, but homelessness has been one of the most talked about problems in Santa Cruz—on and off—since I first moved here in 1990, and no doubt long
before that. Every few years, it rotates back into the public consciousness when a sleeping ban issue comes up, or a crime makes headlines. But the truth is, it never goes away. Georgia Perry’s cover story looks at a new approach that is being discussed in Santa Cruz: a sanctuary camp. But rather than just lay out what activists here want to do, she actually traveled to Eugene, Ore., where the success of the sanctuary camp called Opportunity Village has made it a model that other cities might be wise to follow. Perry’s investigation into how the Santa Cruz movement stacks up is eyeopening, to say the least. Her analysis of the differences between the two cities’ approaches is a must-read. Also in this issue, local writer Liza Monroy, whose book The Marriage Act was featured on the cover of Santa Cruz Weekly earlier this year, profiles one of Santa Cruz’s most fascinating musical figures: the man known to fans of AfroBrazilian music only as Papiba. As his band SambaDá celebrates its 15th anniversary, Monroy digs into his lesserknown—and perhaps even deeper—tie to the Santa Cruz community. Steve Palopoli | Editor-in-Chief
LETTERS Back to Issues I am writing in response to the article appearing 5/1 entitled 'Pushing the Limits'. I would like to reiterate that this is not just a local issue, but one that is being taken on by cities and states all over the country. Mandatory limits on campaign contributions and expenditures simplify elections, and make them about what they should be: issues and ideas. Level the playing field— this is the politics Santa Cruz can get behind. I will attend the June 10 City Council meeting in support of limits. Tyler Skinner-Rosenberg | Santa Cruz

Thanks for your recent story on local campaign spending. Few would deny that the American electoral process is overrun with money. Both the Democrats and Republicans are funded heavily by corporations, while the Supreme Court has opened the floodgates to even more influence by the super-wealthy with its Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions. Clearly, we can't expect Washington politicians or politicized court justices to
solve the problem. Luckily, there is a grassroots movement making change at the local level. Dozens of cities, including San Francisco, New York, and Boulder, Colo., have already enacted limits on campaign donations, and offer matching funds to candidates who accept an overall spending limit. Meanwhile, states like Arizona and Connecticut have enacted public campaign financing on the statewide level. On June 10, the City of Santa Cruz will have an opportunity to join this commonsense movement by adopting a proposal put forth by Council members Micah Posner and Don Lane. Let's make sure Santa Cruz joins this people's movement instead of endorsing the false equivalence of money to free speech. Steve Schnaar | Santa Cruz

Two local writers, Debbie Bulger and Sarah Rabkin, will read on Monday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at Center Stage, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. Called, “The Art of The Essay,” the event will showcase how the genre can be used to convey experience. While Bulger’s work uses nuance to describe her childhood and unique view of the world, Rabkin uses rich detail to explore emotional and physical landscapes. Information about Bulger and Rabkin’s work can be found at www.lostballoonpress.com and www.sarahrabkin.com, respectively.
Rising International, a women’s economic empowerment nonprofit, will hold a pop-up global marketplace to provide shoppers with meaningful Mother’s Day gift options on Thursday, May 8, in the parking lot outside Alterra Solar, 207 McPherson St., Santa Cruz. The unique gifts available were made by mothers living in over 20 developing nations who are rising above poverty, war and human trafficking, and include jewelry, silk scarves, and hand-beaded dog collars. All proceeds will support brighter futures for impoverished women both locally and globally.

What are some simple tips for conserving water? by Matthew Cole Scott
Drink more beer and less water, collect rain water from catch barrels, and if you live in the mountains near a spring you should try to set up some sort of system through that. John Morefield Ben Lomond | Motorcycle Mechanic
You probably already know this one, but I put a rock inside of my toilet so that when I flush it doesn’t use too much water. We could change the faucets that we use as well, just make them stop at a certain point. Raven Sherman Aptos | Bartender
I save all my graywater into a bucket in the sink when I do my dishes, and water my plants outside because we won’t have any landscape watering this summer. Linda Schutte Santa Cruz | Retired
We harvest rain water from our gutters. We have a pipe that runs down and we buy 32-gallon trash cans and we fill them up. And we’re getting excited, because we think we're gonna get one more fill this Friday. Mary Jo Marshall Santa Cruz | Preschool Teacher

Fireworks and Free Jazz by Rob Brezsny © Copyright 2014 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Fireworks displays excite the eyes and lift the spirit. But the smoke and dust they produce can harm the lungs with residues of heavy metals. The toxic chemicals they release may pollute streams and lakes and even groundwater. So is there any alternative? Not yet. No one has come up with a more benign variety of fireworks. But if it happens soon, I bet it will be due to the efforts of an enterprising Aries researcher. Your tribe is entering a phase when you will have good ideas about how to make risky fun safer, how to ensure vigorous adventures are healthy, and how to maintain constructive relationships with exciting influences.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 Free jazz is a type of music that emerged in the 1950s as a rebellion against jazz conventions. Its meter is fluid and its harmonies unfamiliar, sometimes atonal. Song structures may be experimental and unpredictable. A key element in free jazz is collective improvisation—riffing done not just by a featured soloist, but by the entire group of musicians playing together. To prepare for your adventures in the coming days, Taurus— which I suspect will have resemblances to free jazz—you might want to listen to music by its pioneers, like Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, and Sun Ra. Whatever you do, don't fall prey to scapabobididdilywiddilydoobapaphobia, which is the fear of freestyle jazz.
GEMINI May21–June20 Apple and Exxon are the most valuable companies in America. In third place, worth more than $350 billion, is Google. Back in 1999, when the future Internet giant was less than a year old, Google's founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page tried to sell their baby for a mere million dollars. The potential buyer was Excite, an online service that was thriving at the time. But Excite's CEO turned down the offer, leaving Brin and Page to soldier onward by themselves. Lucky for them, right? Today they're rich and powerful. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Gemini. An apparent "failure" may, in hindsight, turn out to be the seed of a future success.

"You can't have your cake and eat it, too" is an English-language proverb. It means that you will no longer have your cake if you eat it all up. The Albanian version of the adage is "You can't go for a swim without getting wet. " Hungarians say, "It's impossible to ride two horses with one butt." According to my analysis, Cancerian, you will soon disprove this folk wisdom. You will, in effect, be able to eat your cake and still have it. You will somehow stay dry as you take a dip. You will figure out a way to ride two horses with your one butt.
I know this might come as a shock, Leo, but … are you ready? You are God! Or at least godlike. An influx of crazy yet useful magic from the Divine Wow is boosting your personal power way beyond normal levels. There's so much primal mojo flowing through you that it will be hard if not impossible for you to make mistakes. Don't fret, though. Your stint as the Wild Sublime Golden Master of Reality probably won't last for more than two weeks; three, tops. I'm sure that won't be long enough for you to turn into a raving megalomaniac with 10,000 cult followers.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In your imagination, take a trip many years into the future. See yourself as you are now, sitting next to the wise elder you will be then. The two of you are lounging on a beach and gazing at a lake. It's twilight. A warm breeze feels good. You turn to your older self and say, "Do you have any regrets? Is there anything you wish you had done but did not do?" Your older self tells you what that thing is. (Hear it now.) And you reply, "Tomorrow I will begin working to change all that."
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Over a hundred years ago, the cattle industry pressured the U.S. government to kill off wolves in Yellowstone National Park. By 1926 the wolves had all but vanished. In the following decades, elk herds grew unnaturally big, no longer hunted by their natural predator. The elk decimated the berry bushes of Yellowstone, eating the wild fruit with such voracity that grizzly bears and many other species went hungry. In 1995, environmentalists and conservationists got clearance to reintroduce wolves to the area. Now the berry bushes are flourishing again. Grizzlies are thriving, as are other mammals that had been deprived. I regard this vignette as an allegory for your life in the coming months, Libra. It's time to do the equivalent of replenishing the wolf population. Correct the imbalance.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I have no problem with you listening closely to the voices in your head. Although there might be some weird counsel flowing from some of them, it's also possible that one of those voices might have sparkling insights to offer. As for the voices that are delivering messages from your lower regions, in the vicinity of your reproductive organs; I'm not opposed to you hearing them out, either. But I hope you will be most attentive and receptive to the voices in your heart. While they are not infallible, they are likely to contain a higher percentage of useful truth than those other two sources.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Kangaroo rats live in the desert. They're at home there, having evolved over millennia to thrive in arid conditions. So well-adapted are they that they can go a very long time without drinking water. While it's admirable to have achieved such a high level of accommodation to their environment, I don't recommend that you do something comparable. In fact, it’s probably better if you don't adjust to some of the harsher aspects of your environment. Now might be a good time to acknowledge this fact and start planning an alternate solution.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 "Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled," said writer William Blake. I think you will challenge this theory in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Your passions will definitely not be weak. They may even verge on being volcanic. And yet I bet you will manage them fairly well. By that I mean you will express them with grace and power rather than allowing them to overwhelm you and cause a messy ruckus. You won't need to tamp them down and bottle them up because you will find a way to be both uninhibited and disciplined as you give them their chance to play.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Would you please go spend some quality time having non-goal-oriented fun? Can I convince you to lounge around in fantasyland as you empty your beautiful head of all compulsions to prove yourself and meet people's expectations? Will you listen to me if I suggest that you take off the mask that's stuck to your face and make funny faces in the mirror? You need a nice long nap, gorgeous. Two or three nice long naps. Bake some damn cookies, even if you've never done so. Soak your feet in Epsom salts as you binge-watch a TV show that stimulates a thousand emotions. Lie in the grass and stare lovingly at the sky for as long as it takes to recharge your spiritual batteries.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Dear Pisceans: Your evil twins have asked me to speak to you on their behalf. They say they want to apologize for the misunderstandings that may have arisen from their innocent desire to show you what you had been missing. Their intent was not at all hostile or subversive. They simply wanted to fill in some gaps in your education. OK? Next, your evil twins want to humbly request that you no longer refer to them as "Evil Twin," but instead pick a more affectionate name, like, say "Sweet Mess" or "Tough Lover." If you promise to treat them with more geniality, they will guarantee not to be so tricky and enigmatic.
Homework: Upon waking up for the next seven mornings, sing the song that fills you with feisty hope.

God’s Own Garage Sale

14 20 14
BY JACOB PIERCE Near the open garage door to the Twin Lakes Church bus depot, Laurie Schlaepfer is doing some sorting as she stands watch over a sea of tables, desks and clothing racks—plus a few lamps tucked away in the corner. As Schlaepfer and fellow organizers of the World’s Biggest Garage Sale ready for their fourth annual event, more clothes will be rolling in—not to mention books, CDs, DVDs, antiques, car parts, home decor, games and jewelry, and that’s not all. “Tons of dishes and glassware and camping [equipment],”Schlaepfer adds. “There’s really not a category out there that we don’t get a lot of.” The sale raises money for Second Harvest Food Bank, which distributes 8 million pounds of food for hungry families in Santa Cruz County each year. Sale codirector Schlaepfer, whose husband Rene serves as pastor for the church, says the spirit of giving is what it’s all about. “In Acts of the Bible, it talks about early Christians selling their possessions so they could give to those in need. We’re keeping alive that 2,000-year-old tradition on a different scale. They never could have imagined how much stuff we have,” she says. Last year’s Twin Lakes’ sale raised $38,000—its most ever—and Second Harvest spokesman Steve Bennett says it’s made a big difference. “What they’ve done over the past few years has had a huge impact. Last year they provided 150,000 meals alone,” he says. How did the money buy so much food? $1, Bennett explains, is enough for Second Harvest to buy four meals, because the nonprofit buys food wholesale and gets reject, odd-looking produce that’s still fresh—the carrots might be a little crooked, but they’re still healthy. The month of May isn’t the only time of year the church gives back. Twin Lakes Church also collects nonperishable foods around Christmas, but Bennett says a dollar goes a lot farther than a can of donated food. Twin Lakes has always gotten that. “They understand the value of what we can do with dollar, based on the partnerships we’ve built up over the years,” Bennett says. “No one can buy apples

One person’s junk funds another person’s food at Twin Lakes fundraiser
FLOOR PLANS Paz de la Cazada lays the groundwork for “Nomadic Labyrinth,” which will be on display at the MAH’s Third Friday event.
Way Outside the Box MAH’s Third Friday event showcases Santa Cruz’s flair for cutting-edge design and technology BY ARIC SLEEPER Three years ago, Andrew Meave was struck with the idea of translating brain waves into light and music, and projecting them in an enclosed space. Armed only with the vision and a drive to manifest it, Meave taught himself computer programing, and built and acquired all the equipment he would need to bring his idea to life. “I didn’t even know if it was possible, and then I started looking into it and realized there’s all this technology available to us, and it is possible,” says Meave. “The hardest part was just overstepping that learning curve of being a computer programmer, which I am not by nature.” A participant in “Ravel” puts on a headset that reads brain waves and feeds them into a computer. From there the brain waves are translated into corresponding sound and light frequencies, which are then projected in a mirrored chamber that the participant stands inside. Through this synesthetic art piece, Meave hopes to
help people perceive the world and their senses of self in a different light. “I want to create a space that allows people to experience themselves outside of themselves and blurs the lines between where we end and begin, and create a new connectivity to the space around us,” he says. Meave’s “Ravel” will be part of an event at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH) on May 16 with the theme of design and innovation. Artists, designers, and educators from the county and the Bay Area will bring an array of interactive activities and art pieces to the museum for the Third Friday symposium that allow patrons to design their own creations, solve problems, and experience spaces in ways they may have otherwise never imagined.
AT INNOVATION’S EDGE Every invention, from the spoon to the smart phone, begins with an inspired thought. Whether it stems from an unmet need (such as a more
refined way to consume food) or a vision for a more connected and entertained public, innovations come to fruition through design. And although it can be difficult to perceive where one ends and the other begins, the two meet and mingle in Santa Cruz County regularly—in business, government, schools and beyond— and when they are joined with the art world, all manner of imaginative creations are born. “Something that is exciting about this theme is that it’s pulling out the artistry in technology and design, and seeing how we can rethink these terms and enrich them,” says Nora Grant, community programs coordinator at the MAH. “We’re trying to expand notions of art and design, and invite a conversation around how we think about these ideas.” When attending previous Third Fridays, Jo-Ann Panzardi, chair of the Cabrillo engineering department, looked around the MAH and saw an

ideal venue to display the art of engineering to the community, so she pitched the theme to the museum. “People tend to think that engineering and science are the same, and they are not,” Panzardi says. “Science is the knowledge that exists, and engineering is taking that knowledge and solving a problem using creativity.” Many of the artists and professionals who will feature their work at the event say that Santa Cruz—with so many creative and artistic minds—is a great fit for this theme. Panzardi and several Cabrillo engineering students will offer hands-on design projects, all of which combine various fields of engineering. One project called “Foam Coasters” will allow participants to design miniature roller coasters with interlocking foam components. Panzardi and her students will also set up a station to create a ‘‘Jiggabot”—or as Panzardi calls it, “a little creature that moves.” Another activity urges attendees to design the most efficient windpower device. “The goal of all these projects is to stimulate creative thinking and design,” says Panzardi. “We’ll have all the supplies, and then people come up with their own designs.” A group of 14 students and two faculty members traveled to Vuelte Grande, a village in Guatemala, in January of this year through Cabrillo’s engineering abroad program. The students built a rainwater catchment system for the village’s elementary school, and will display a demo of the device at the MAH. The event brings in people from all over the community, such as Santa Cruz designer Ted Holladay, known for his branding work with businesses like NextSpace and Betty’s Burgers. Holladay will bring a work to the Third Friday event he’s calling “The Faces of Santa Cruz.” He’s inviting event attendees to have their picture taken, which he will later form into a composite, black and white image of every person he photographs. “All of the faces will be multiplied with opacity on top of each other, and you will see what this face ends up looking like with hopefully 100 to 200 people on top of each other,” says Holladay. Local nonprofit Learn to Discover will offer a variety of interactive stations at the MAH’s Third Friday event. Founded in 2008 by Shelly and Brian Laschkewitsch, Learn to Discover specializes in providing kids with the technology, career, and life skills that they felt were lacking in schools. “We’re getting kids to try different things, and see what’s available to get them thinking about a career in the future because some kids get to high school or college and don’t really know what they want to do,” says Shelly Laschkewitsch, Learn to Discover’s vice-president. The Learn to Discover staff will bring an assortment of activities, which they also provide to children who participate in their programs, such as a station where patrons can interact with robots, a Claymation movie station, a Lego building area, an online design program that allows attendees to build their own amusement park, and an activity that utilizes tablets to create digital art. “Design and innovation are in everything we do,” says Laschkewitsch. After creating, experimenting, and being blown away by the light and sound of “Ravel,” patrons of the event are encouraged to ease their stimulated minds and reconnect with themselves on the serpentine paths of Bay Area visual artist Paz de la Calzada’s “Nomadic Labyrinth.” The “Nomadic Labyrinth” combines recycled carpet remnants from hotels and casinos into a pattern inspired by

The massive maze of carpet combines the patterns of East and West to create an art piece that intends to change the space where it is placed, and the minds of those who interact with it. “The labyrinth is a spiritual tool that has been used for thousands of years and is common to different religions,” says de la Calzada. After a year of design and construction, and with funding from the San Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Grants, de la Calzada has brought the “Nomadic Labyrinth” to indoor and outdoor venues in the Bay Area
where she has joyously watched the public walk, play, and even do yoga on the carpet sculpture. “I have realized that art is not something that you buy and then put in your house. Art has this gift of engaging, and it has the gift of being something that people can use. It has a purpose,” says de la Calzada. “Walking the labyrinth can be something that connects you with yourself in a different way.” INFO: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m, Friday, May 16, Museum of Art & History, 705 Front Street, Santa Cruz. 429-1964.

“There are so many issues I care deeply about—environmental, social, economic—and this is the chance to really have an impact on them,” says Leonie Sherman, who just announced a bid for Santa Cruz City Council She contemplates her words carefully and delivers them with bold enthusiasm. “This is the moment.” Sherman left Massachusetts in 1995 to visit a friend in Santa Cruz, where she fell in love with the natural beauty and unique characters. She began teaching self-defense courses for the city in 2004 and then took her classes to the school district in 2007—winning the United Way’s Community Hero Award two years after that. Always inquisitive, Sherman enrolled at UC Berkeley for a master’s degreee in journalism in 2006. Since then she has written all over the world, covering a broad range of topics, including human rights abuses in Cambodia. She also wrote an opinion editorial for the Santa Cruz Sentinel about the water crisis. “The drought really brought it home that we need to accept the limits inherent in any natural system," she says. The anti-desalination advocate thinks we can do something to reduce and recycle the millions of water dumped daily into the sea. Leonie—pronounced “Lay-ah-nee”—Sherman joins a City Council race with up to three open seats. Others, including council members Hilary Bryant and David Terrazas are considering bids too. Sherman says Santa Cruzans can find common ground on any issue and move forward. She believes we can keep the atmosphere that attracts tourists and street performers while still maintaining a safe city of neighbors, not strangers. "I really want to see us move towards evidence-based solutions to the issues we face around neighborhood safety and the quality of life in our town,” Sherman says. “Statistics show the more people you know within a 15 minute walk of your neighborhood, the less likely you are to be the target of a violent crime. That means getting to know your neighbors—bringing them cookies, babysitting their kids—not only improves the quality of your life but actually makes you safer." –Mat Weir
The Santa Cruz Warriors weren’t crying in their beers after falling short in the D-League championship for the second year straight when they gathered at KC’s Sports Bar to say goodbye to each other, the city and their fans. “The fans came out and sold out the games, and they’re just passionate about things that go on here,” said power forward Lance Goulbourne, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds in game two of the team’s championship loss. “It’s a small family type of town.” Family vibes were palpable as the players made their way through the restaurant to the back patio, saying hello and giving hugs to fans—the players were even on a first-name basis with some of them. “I love it here a lot. The fans really embrace us,” said Cameron Jones, an all-NBA D-League guard. “All the time we have people talk to us and tell us they love us being here. It’s been a blast.” The Santa Cruz players held their unofficial going away party at the newly opened bar, blocks from their home arena, to watch their NBA affiliate Golden State Warriors battle the Los Angeles Clippers in game five of the Western Conference playoffs. Although Golden State didn’t pull away with the win, there was an exciting moment at KC’s when, with 24 seconds to play, former Santa Cruz Warrior Hilton Armstrong joined the lineup—to the delight of his Santa Cruz teammates. Armstrong took a desperation three-pointer didn’t hit rim—causing the players in the bar to crack up laughing, slapping each other’s shoulders. “Watching this is motivation to get there,” Goulbourne said. “I enjoy watching them play but man, I’m still trying to get there.” With only 17 teams in the D-League to the NBA’s 30, many of these will get their shots at the big leagues, if they haven’t already. But it’s a dark road to get there—one filled with uncertainty. “It’s tough, but it’s the business,” guard Kiwi Gardner said. “I wouldn’t want tonight to be my last night in Santa Cruz.” –Alec Brooks

GOOD GRACIOUS Last year’s World’s Biggest Garage Sale at Twin Lakes Church bought 150,000 meals through Second Harvest Food Bank.
GARAGE SALE CONT. FROM P. 8 Donations started May 3 and go through May 15. Sometimes gems come from unexpected places. When a local woman with a history of hoarding passed away last year, her family on the East Coast contacted Twin Lakes to say they’d like to donate the woman’s entire storage unit. Many of those donations are in boxes unopened. Twin Lakes may need the extra help to win back Second Harvest’s heavyweight award, which a local tech company took this past season. That award goes to the highest fundraiser each year. “We have a very friendly rivalry with Plantronics,” Schlaepfer says with a grin. “They had it for a number of years. We took it away from them. They took it back from us this past year.” “I’d put the emphasis on friendly, really,” Plantronics CEO Ken Kannappan says. “I have so much respect for Twin Lakes Church and for Rene and what they do. They are just phenomenal, and they’re an inspiration.”

for eight cents a pound like we can. Someone [else] can bring a bag of apples. We can buy a lot more.” He adds that the spring is a great time for a Second Harvest fundraiser, not only because the rummage sale lines up with some spring cleaning. This season, he explains, doesn’t always make people think of their local food bank. That makes the event an even bigger deal. “People always think of us during the holiday and that’s fantastic,” Bennett says. “But during this time of year these kids at school get a hot meal every day, and that might be the only good meal they get. So with school ending just a few months from now, that makes it all the more important.” The sheer magnitude of the sale, Schlaepfer says, is difficult to explain or even capture in a photograph. This year she might send someone up on the roof with a camera to try and get the whole sale, which covers the parking lot and a couple of lawns, in one frame. “With a church of this size, there are probably over 5,000 people associated with it, because our attendance on Sundays is over 3,000.

How many people from around the world come to Santa Cruz for your lively street culture? Surely they buy the goods and services that bring dollars to your town due to your street performers attracting them. Pass laws that protect the street per-

Online Comments Re: Best Spiritual Teacher I am proud that Rene and Twin Lakes Church received this honor. I attend TLC. I want to point out that we feed, supply medical/ dental needs to people all over the world; feed orphans,
and support and teach children coming out of the sex trade with counseling about how to make an income to support themselves, to sew and make jewelry, and trust me, they send us their goods and we buy them up! And we don't have to dress up at church. At Munsky Hall, you can come in slippers, flip-flops, and shorts and t-shirt, anyway you normally dress. We call it little church next to the big church, all part of TLC. And it's at 10:45 a.m. and you can eat doughnuts and drink coffee at all times during the service. Ya! —Sheere Willis

Local Real Estate Expert Answers Questions on Property Ownership and Management BY SUZANNE RODONI-SILVERBERG - PAID ADVERTISEMENT -
LANDLORDS DO HAVE RIGHTS It often seems that a property owner does not have any rights and that tenants call the shots, the courts only rule in favor of the tenant, and the attorneys end up with all the money. Just look at the multi-million-dollar lawsuits that have happened regarding mold, lead-based paint, Fair Housing, and more. In fact, we do our best to keep owners apprised of the legislation and legal actions that are continually happening. However, there is another perspective to landlord and tenant rights. It is true that there are lawsuits, fines, and penalties dished out in big numbers to property owners but it is generally because they have violated important legislation or discriminated against their occupants. There are millions of property owners who do rent fairly and millions of good tenants living in rental properties. Unfortunately, it is the bad property owners and tenants that get the press and attention. Sometimes, you have to look at the whole picture to understand that a property owners DOES have rights. The truth is that if an owner did not have rights, there would not be any investments in real estate properties and no rentals available.
LANDLORDS DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO RENT PROPERTY TO GOOD TENANTS. There is no law that requires you to rent to someone who does not meet good qualifying criteria. No court will force you to take in a bad tenant. You just have to be patient if it takes a longer vacancy to find a good tenant. LANDLORDS DO HAVE FAIR HOUSING RIGHTS. It is true that the court will rule against a property owner in a big way if there is discrimination. Practice Fair Housing and the law will protect you as well as the tenant.
LANDLORDS DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO EVICT A TENANT FOR NON –PAYMENT OF RENT AND OTHER RENTAL VIOLATIONS. It is not right for a tenant to stop paying THE UNIFORM RESIDENTIAL LANDLORD rent, trash the property, and cause TENANT ACT (URLTA) was set up to havoc. All states have laws that provide outline obligations for BOTH landlords owners with a “way out” of a bad and tenants. It specifically provides that tenant through a legal eviction process tenants uphold certain obligations and so that they can replace the bad one responsibilities to the landlord. Here are with a good one. Tenants cannot hold some of the provisions for the tenants: a property owner hostage unless the owner does something discriminatory. • Tenants must maintain the interior of the premises in a clean and safe LANDLORDS DO HAVE THE RIGHT condition and must use appliances in TO CLAIM PROPERTY INVESTMENT a reasonable manner.

LONG WAY from OPPORTUNITY Santa Cruz activists pushing for a sanctuary camp for the homeless have a model in Eugene’s Opportunity Village—but can they find the same success?
///////////////////////////////////////////// BY GEORGIA PERRY ////////////////////////////////////////////// named Andrew Heben, who moved here after doing his senior thesis from the University of Cincinnati in “Tent City Urbanism,” the proposal for Opportunity Village received unanimous support from Eugene’s city council. The planning department official who approved the permit for their site said it was the first time a hearing on a new site permit faced zero opposition from the community. “Everyone was fine with this,” says Eugene city councilwoman Claire Syrett, whose district includes Opportunity Village. I visited Opportunity Village because, for about a year, I—along with every other reporter in this town—have been getting regular press releases from local activists trying to set up what they are calling a “homeless sanctuary camp” in Santa Cruz, citing
Opportunity Village as one of their inspirations. But the majority of local politicians and community members here don’t seem to take them seriously or support their idea—the very idea that, just 10 hours north up I-5, is being celebrated. I wanted to figure out why that was.
TALE OF TWO CITIES
Both Eugene and Santa Cruz are medium-sized West Coast cities with histories of progressive politics. Eugene’s overall population is moderately bigger, with a total of about 100,000 more citizens than Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz county’s latest homeless census reported approximately 3,500 homeless individuals. Lane

In the industrial part of Eugene, Ore., where the railroad tracks run and the ground is mostly dirt and gravel, there’s a little village. Dotting the one-acre lot are about 25 wood shelters, most measuring eight feet by eight feet, without electricity or heating. There are two toilets and one shower for everyone to share, and a sink to wash dishes in. It doesn’t look like much. But almost everyone in town will tell you that this little village is one of the city’s greatest accomplishments. Eugene’s Opportunity Village has been arguably the most successful—and least controversial— response to homelessness in an American city in recent memory. Spearheaded by a 26-year-old Ohioan
SANCTUARY CAMP <15
GEORGIA PERRY
CONSTRUCTION WORK Andrew Heben was at the center of the coordinated effort to make Eugene's Opportunity Village a reality.
County, which includes Eugene, documented nearly 10,000 homeless individuals who sought social services at some point throughout the course of 2013. According to Lane County Human Services Supervisor Pearl Wolfe, at any given time the number of homeless individuals in Lane County falls somewhere between that figure and 1,750—which is the most recent number documented in a one-night homeless count the county conducts annually. Opportunity Village was a direct outgrowth of the Occupy Eugene movement. Both Eugene and Santa Cruz had active Occupy encampments that drew a lot of homeless individuals and raised awareness about the issue of homelessness in the larger community. Both camps were eventually shut down by the city for safety and cleanliness reasons. But that seems to be about where the similarities end. “When we had to close the camp, I made a promise that we would immediately work to tackle some of the issues people were dealing with,” says Kitty Piercy, who has been mayor of Eugene since 2005. She put together a homelessness task force to come up with recommendations, one of which was a village-style homeless community. 18>

SANCTUARY CAMP
Andrew Heben moved to Eugene right around the time the Occupy camp was being closed and the mayor’s homelessness task force was set up. “The power of the self-organized camp that people experienced at Occupy really drove the ideas that were discussed in that task force,” he remembers. “Their numberone recommendation was a safe and secure place to be 24/7.” A lanky young man with blonde hair and a calm, pragmatic demeanor, Heben joined up with some other local activists following the task force to, as he puts it, “pester the city into actually following through with what they set out to do. “We came up with a concept plan and a design, and met with a bunch of people in the city to try to get them to support it,” he says. They then formed an official nonprofit and secured business, religious, and other nonprofit leaders to serve on their board of directors. The city donated an acre of land to the project for the trial duration of one year, but that’s been the extent of their involvement. The rest of the money for the village, which Heben thinks totaled about $100,000 cash and another
$100,000 in donated materials, came from private individuals and businesses. It took just under three years of planning, organizing and building for Occupy Village to officially open this past August. In Santa Cruz, local activists Brent Adams and Stacey Falls have been working on the idea for a sanctuary camp for almost a year. For a number of different reasons, it is still unclear whether they will succeed.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE HOUSE
In Brent Adams’ office for the sanctuary camp initiative—a room in what’s known as the Jungle House, a former UCSC student party house, which the homeowner lets him use rent-free—he has tacked to the wall a flier advertising a “super massive slumber party.” Initially planned for April, the event was intended to be a community campout to raise awareness about the sanctuary camp concept. Adams recently received a letter from the city denying permission for the event. The main reason cited was that, while his
estimated attendance was 150, Adams had no plans to register participants or in any way limit the number of attendees. “The city finds a misleading disparity between our estimated attendance and our promotional stuff that says ‘super massive slumber party,’ Adams says, looking at the four-page rejection letter. The letter also cites Adams’ ties to the now-infamous Occupy Santa Cruz 3-day takeover of a vacant bank building as a reason for denying permission for the camp-out. When I ask him if he thinks his involvement in the bank takeover has anything to do with the city’s resistance to get on board with the sanctuary camp proposal, he admits that it could. “I regret not staying with the Occupy camp of homeless people. Occupy Eugene turned that whole thing into a machine to help homeless people. We just didn’t—we abandoned the camp to do this bank thing,” he says. He is still facing charges for the incident, and says he has been to court more than 40 times since it happened. Adams raised some funds at a gala dinner a couple months ago—not for the
sanctuary camp itself, but to fund the camp-out, which was intended to promote the sanctuary camp idea. He says that now, in light of the city’s refusal to grant him permission for the camp-out, his plan is to “stop all this fun and games and really just only work on establishing the camp now.” In the last year, Adams and his partner on the project, Santa Cruz High School teacher Stacey Falls, have held regular informational meetings on the project. All the meetings have been open to the public. They’ve gathered 1,000 signatures on a MoveOn.com petition, raised some money, and met with community leaders. Like Heben in Eugene, they would like to become an official nonprofit and say the paperwork for that is nearly complete. However, they admittedly aren’t as far along as they could be. Adams says he was engaged for two months solid on a warming center program—a response to the week-long cold snap Santa Cruz experienced this winter. “It’s a side project of sanctuary camp,” he explains. He has a handful of other projects, too, including plans to help members of the Salinas 20>

homeless camp pack up belongings in anticipation of a move. The week after our conversation, he sent me a press release announcing that a documentary he made about sanctuary camps would be showing at the “Reel Work” labor film festival. “I keep hearing people say, ‘It’s a good idea but he’ll never do it. Brent Adams will never do it,’” he says. Why is that? “Because of things that they think about Brent Adams,” he responds. “They’ve never even met me.”
SPACE EXPLORER Mark Lakeman worked on Portland's Dignity Village, a project much like Eugene's, and spoke at TEDx Santa Cruz this year about public gathering spaces.
GEORGIA PERRY
MATTER OF PERCEPTION
Adams admits he has to fight his public perception. Santa Cruz councilwoman Pamela Comstock outright refused to meet with him to discuss the sanctuary camp idea, citing as her reason a public Facebook comment he once made, which read, “We need to slash and burn this heartless fear mongering city council.” Comstock claims the language of his Facebook post made her fear for her life. “In the interest of self preservation I will not meet with him,” she wrote in response.
When I asked Adams about this correspondence, he sent me an email titled, “My Communication Style.” It read, “It should be noted that for the next chapters of Sanctuary Camp and my interactions with local elected officials, I'll be demonstrating more tact and better communication skills.” Admits Falls, Adams’ partner on the project, “Brent is pretty dynamic and also kind of confusing, and people’s response to him is also pretty dynamic and kind of confusing. In some ways that’s been a barrier.” I caught up with Comstock on a recent afternoon during her lunch break at Whole Foods. She was eager to hear about the tiny home-style community I visited in Eugene, but rolled her eyes when I brought up Adams and his proposal, saying she has concerns about the professionalism of both. “Where’s the support? One guy? One guy showing up to council with a half-baked business plan?” she asked. Comstock says she would be open to hearing about new, creative solutions to homelessness, but asserts that Adams’ proposal is neither of those things. “It 22>

doesn’t offer anything new in the way of solutions. It’s just repeating a past failure,” she says, referencing Camp Paradise, a homeless tent camp set up along the San Lorenzo River circa 2001. Despite her dismissal of the sanctuary camp proposal, Comstock insists she is interested in finding solutions to the housing affordability issues in Santa Cruz. But, she says, she doesn’t want those solutions to be an eyesore. “I think our future is in minimalism. It seems like a really organized tiny home community could work,” Comstock says. “But again, very organized. Very well run. Nicely designed. No blight. People don’t want to feel like there’s a shantytown in their community. That’s my sense.” Interestingly enough, Adams has this same sense. But to him, the benefits of giving homeless people a safe space in which to sleep outweigh the costs of a socalled “blight.” “We know that [Santa Cruz] doesn’t like the idea of a tent city, but if it’s going to reduce some of the impacts we’re seeing …” He trails off, lost in thought about the painfulness of the issue. “The costs of homelessness are profound,” he says.
PROPERTY VALUE
In Santa Cruz, Adams and Falls are proposing a restricted-access, clean and sober tent encampment that would be very easy to move. They initially wanted to have it within city limits, but are currently thinking a church property just outside of town is the best bet, though they don’t yet have a specific location in mind. “We looked at Google maps and found all these—all we need is a half acre. Then we had meetings and—all this takes so much time. Who owns what property? Are they approachable? So in the last few months we’ve been meeting with representatives of several different churches; I can’t tell you which ones. We’re still in talks,” he says. Reflecting on the project’s progress so far, Adams says, “I didn’t know what to ask for. What we wanted was simply to have a conversation, just share our vision.” It’s a noble cause, to be sure, but city officials say they need a better reason than that. Don Lane, one of the most progressive members of Santa Cruz city council, met with Adams to talk about the proposal at one point but says he has mixed feelings
about it. “I appreciate and applaud Brent for trying to take some of these issues on, because they’re issues I care a lot about, too,” he says. “But it seems like it just continues to be too much of an abstraction to just say, ‘We need to have this,’ without a place that is part of the proposal. I haven’t heard what the concrete place is yet.” Lane believes there are a number of details that need to be worked out before he can throw his support behind the plan. “I think their initial drive is to get people to sign on and say, ‘Yes this is something I support. For a community member that’s fine, but if I'm going to support it as a public official it’s not just conceptual support,” he says. “It becomes a pretty tangible thing. What’s the specific proposal? What are you asking me to support? What does my support mean? I’m not prepared to say, ‘Oh yeah, I love this idea, go for it.’”
BUILDING CONSENSUS So what does it take to create a homeless village that isn’t controversial? Mark Lakeman, a national leader in the develop-
ment of sustainable public spaces, says that for a homeless village to succeed, it needs to demonstrably meet the needs of the larger community. Lakeman gave a talk at TEDx Santa Cruz this year about his experience creating public gathering spaces in his hometown of Portland, Ore. He also worked on the development of Portland’s Dignity Village—a sort of big sister of Opportunity Village, organized much the same way. “In both Portland and Eugene the villages are first and foremost examples of sustainability, design culture, and they’re shrewd ideas,” he says. For better or worse, this made them much more palatable to the city’s residents, who were more eager to sign-on to support a community focused on sustainability and design than one billed as primarily a response to homelessness. In Eugene, Heben says there has been a contingent of people hoping to organize a tiny home community for some time. Opportunity Village meets that goal. “It’s kind of through the back door of homelessness that we’ve been able to realize this idea that people have been trying to realize for a long time,” he says. In Santa Cruz, the community’s principal goals include sustainable living, 24>

affordability, water conservation, and public safety. It’s entirely possible that a sanctuary camp could provide solutions to these issues. In Eugene, city councilmember Syrett says the residents of Opportunity Village have worked to make their neighborhood—which she describes as low-income and traditionally underserved—safer. “In addition to just getting some attention around being generous and welcoming, they’ve asked the city for lighting for safety, some infrastructure at the park, and increased police patrols. They've been able to make their voices heard,” she says. “Opportunity Village has a structure; they’re a nonprofit; they’re thinking about how they intersect with the surrounding community, and I think that can only be positive.” For now, Adams and Falls are proposing tents instead of a micro-home community because of the community reaction they have been getting to their idea. “We’re dealing with people in neighborhoods who hesitate at the idea of permanent little structures where low income and possibly homeless people are going be hanging out,” says Falls. They have concerns about property value concerns, she says, and safety—though she thinks those are unwarranted. “I understand why people don’t necessarily want to be neighbors with a homeless camp, but I think a lot of that is based on poor stereotypes. If they took the time to get to know homeless people a little better, I think some of those concerns would go away,” she says.
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
Sitting at the library in downtown Eugene, I told Syrett I was struck by the willingness of the Eugene city council to, as I put it, “just try stuff.” In addition to Opportunity Village, Eugene has a newly expanded car camping program and a number of “rest stops”—designated areas where homeless individuals can sleep for a few hours while someone watches their belongings. Syrett said that at a council meeting shortly after Occupy, a fellow councilmember shared a personal experience he had with homelessness.
”
“He could understand how someone could end up on the street,” she says. This led Syrett to go public with her own story about a family member who has been at risk of homelessness for years. Those stories, she believes, inspired the other councilmembers to want to take immediate action to ease the suffering of homeless people in their community. When I asked Comstock about any personal understanding of homelessness, I got a very different response. “I haven’t had a lot of conversations with homeless people,” she says. “I don’t know where a lot of them come from.” Comstock’s understanding of short-term options for where people can sleep is also skewed. She stated that, “car camping’s not illegal in Santa Cruz.” But it is. Both Comstock and Councilman Lane have signed on to give their full support to the “smart solutions to homelessness” initiative, which the Homeless Services Center has been spearheading for the last three years. It includes a number of “permanent supportive housing” programs, such as the 180/180 program, geared toward giving homeless individuals permanent housing with access to support services. It is in line with the Obama administration’s strategic plan to end homelessness, and it is what draws federal dollars these days. Claudia Brown, president of the Homeless Services Center board, says the HSC has a neutral position on the proposed Sanctuary Camp. “We’re not taking a position per se on the sanctuary camp because our mission is solely focused on permanent housing. Everything we do and every dollar we spend is focused on getting people into permanent housing. We are not going to participate in a sanctuary camp. We’re not going to be a supporter of a sanctuary camp,” Brown says. Falls believes that, while great work is indeed being done with the permanent supportive housing model, it’s a “no-brainer” that more immediate support is needed. “Right now there are over 3,000 people who are homeless in Santa Cruz County. There are shelter beds in the city for 200-300 people. There’s all this conversation about cleaning up the camps and getting people out of the bushes and out of doorways, and I just don’t know where we think those folks are going to go.”

Heben says at the start, a lot of people said the idea for Opportunity Village sounded too idealistic. They thought there was no way it would work out. But after a couple of years of community meetings and steady planning, plus the support of some well-respected community members and local media, the doubters eventually dropped away. Syrett says Opportunity Village has not been controversial since it opened in August. “It’s the other, more-ad hoc pieces that sometimes cause challenges,” she says. For example, some of the “rest stop” locations have worked better than others. “The majority of city council believes we need to help. But how can we be smart while we do that? That’s the harder question,” she says. Despite some differences, the Santa Cruz community seems to have the same goal—wanting to help, but wanting to be smart about it at the same time. Adams and Falls maintain that, with enough support, their Sanctuary Camp could eventually turn into something as successful as Opportunity Village. “At this point we’re talking about an itinerant tent camp model because if it doesn't work out we can move it and find something that’s maybe more palatable to people,” says Falls. “If you look at the history of some of the various camps around the country, a lot of them start out as a tent city, then once they become established and get some funds they do move into the little modular homes and the really sweet, cute villages. “We’re open to working with the community to find what they would find most satisfying.” One possible collaborator of Sanctuary Camp is Ron Swenson. He is the owner and founder of Swenson Solar, the company responsible for developing the solar-power units at Santa Cruz city hall as well as the police department. Swenson has 10 acres of property next to the Homeless Garden Project on Santa Cruz’s Westside, which he is planning on developing into what he calls an “eco-village.” Swenson has met with Brent to discuss his proposal, but is unsure whether his neighbors would support a tent-style community. His vision includes tiny homes using eco-friendly building materials, solar energy, electric vehicle charging stations, composting toilets, and graywater use. “I have a very keen interest in getting something built that will showcase simple living,” says Swenson. He sees his project as an affordable living alternative for people who either don’t have the means to live in a traditional development, or who simply don’t want to—the latter perspective, it must be noted, isn’t taken into account with the permanent supportive housing model, which places people in existing developments. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the climate has changed. Isn’t it about time that we really do something drastic?” wonders Swenson. “The basic concept is that you shouldn’t need to have a McMansion to be allowed to live in our community. Where is the line drawn between living under a bridge and living in a McMansion? If we would draw the line a little lower, I think it would be a safer community.” Whether Swenson’s eco-village will join forces with the Sanctuary Camp proposal is undetermined—at this point, a lot about the Sanctuary Camp proposal is undetermined. Whatever happens, it’s clear that the community’s support or lack of support has the potential to make or break the project. The same has been true in Eugene. “Creating Opportunity Village took thousands of hours of volunteer labor and donated materials,” recalls Heben. “It’s a true testament of what the community can do on its own.” I

Searching for Papiba Offstage, the man behind SambaDá has other deep ties to Santa Cruz | BY LIZA MONROY stage name is one thing, but Alexandre Godinho’s is so deeply ingrained in his identity that even his mother calls him by it. His unusual nom de guerre “Papiba” is derived from a Brazilian tongue twister, papibaquigrafo, which is apparently impossible for Portuguese-speakers to enunciate—except him. A friend who could say only the first three syllables jokingly dubbed him Papiba, and it stuck. Many locals know him as frontman of the Afro-Brazilian Latin Funk band SambaDá, in his signature white suit and cap (boné). But when not on stage, he’s Mestre Papiba, master of the acrobatic Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira. Performed to live music inside a circle of participants, it entails singing, dance and playing instruments, Godinho (pronounced Go-jee-nyo) explains over burritos at El Palomar. “Such diversity,” he says. “No other activity demands all these elements.” In this art form, he is not alone in his strong connection to his alter ego—capoeiristas receive Portuguese nicknames, a tradition born to conceal identities when capoeira was illegal in Brazil. On Saturday, May 10, SambaDá performs at Moe’s Alley, in celebration of the band’s 15th anniversary. Earlier that same day, Godinho hosts his 20th batizado at the Louden Nelson Center. In a batizado, capoeiristas are graduated to their next cord (think belts in karate). Capoeira, samba and maculele, a dance involving machetes, are performed for guests from Brazil, the Bay Area, and all over the country. This batizado is especially significant for the musical mestre. Godinho will bestow a red cord—capoeira’s highest honor—upon Santa Cruz resident Richard Fouse, 72, a three-tour Vietnam veteran. Fouse will be the first nonBrazilian mestre in the group, Raizes do Brasil, which spans six US states, South America, Europe, and Africa. When Fouse started at age 48, he already had a long white beard, so was nicknamed “Profeta”— “prophet.” Despite a late start and a quadruple bypass at 68, Fouse attends capoeira, which he learned of in Black Belt Magazine during the sixties, religiously. When young Godhino arrived at the bus station in September 1992, Fouse picked him up, “with his big beard and smile,” Godinho remembers. “He took me to my first Santa Cruz party. I taught people to dance the Lambada while he laughed at me. He came to class always. One day he didn’t. I knew something was wrong. I found out he had open-heart surgery. He came back

with stitches in his chest, saying he wanted to be in the capoeira class. He said if there wasn’t this community to come to, he wouldn’t have the energy to be alive.” Fouse credits capoeira with healing. “When I got back from Vietnam, I’d been through so much,” he says. “It helped me relax.” Twenty-two years after his Lambada-teaching debut, Godinho is still making Santa Cruz dance, now as his full-time job. At SambaDá’s post-batizado show at Moe’s Alley, which opens, appropriately, with a capoeira performance, Godinho will debut songs from his forthcoming album, Ritual. Of eleven tunes, his favorites include the infectious, percussive “Chicka Boom” and sweet samba-reggae “Jamais Esqueçerei o Momento,” (I’ll Never Forget the Moment”), written about his first date with his partner, Melanie, watching The Fountain with ice cream and wine. She now manages the academy. Capoeira is a family affair. “Everything that’s happened in my life has a connection with capoeira,” Godinho says. “All my friends, everyone I’ve known here. My mestre says capoeira is the most powerful personal network, because when people connect in the roda [circle], it’s an intimate type of connection.” Perhaps there’s a scientific reason for all this social bonding: studies have shown that performing synchronous movement and music creates human attachment. In addition to his ongoing commitment to Santa Cruz, Godinho has extended his reach to São Tomé, an island off the coast of Gabon, where he participates in a socioeconomic development project. In a subsistence fishing economy, people with few opportunities are now teaching capoeira. “I came back from Africa inspired by how powerful capoeira is to these communities that don’t have a lot of resources,” he says. “They’ve improved so much physically and socially. It’s beautiful.” SambaDá performs at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz; 479-1854. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana By Lars Shallberg Surf City Criminal Defense
It is against the law to drive under the influence of marijuana in California. If you’re pulled over and the officer suspects you’re stoned, he or she may call in a Drug Recognition Expert who will evaluate you for signs of intoxication such as dilated pupils and drymouth. If convicted, you risk up to five years probation, fees and fines, participation in a Drinking Driver Program, as well as suspension or restriction of your driving privilege. A recent article in the New York Times illustrated the problems associated with evaluating the degree to which marijuana actually impairs driving. According to the article, common field sobriety tests—which will ask you to follow a pen with your eyes, walk in a straight line or stand on one leg— have been shown to catch 88 percent of drunk drivers. By comparison, only thirty percent of those under the influence of THC failed the test. Not surprisingly, those people more accustomed to being stoned performed better. Studies also revealed conflicting evidence regarding the dangers of driving under the influence of THC.
Several researchers concluded the risk of an accident was double with any measurable amount of THC in the bloodstream. Others, meanwhile, concluded there was no increased risk and still others showed a decrease in risk. Of particular note is the fact that a senior research scientist at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation stated that once he adjusted for demographics and the presence of alcohol, marijuana did not statistically increase the risk of a crash. Another issue that complicates driving under THC cases is assessing THC levels at the time of driving. THC is measured from blood and urine samples. If those samples are obtained hours after driving, they may not reflect the amount of THC present in a person’s system at the time of driving. THC builds up in fatty tissue over time. That means that even though THC might have been detected in your urine or blood, it does not mean you were “under the influence” at the time you were driving.
For any DUI arrest, it’s important to immediately contact an experienced DUI lawyer. Call Lars Shallberg at (831) 535-2363 or visit 30 MAY

HOP ON POP UPS The scene at the most recent pop up museum, at the harbor. The next pop up is Saturday, May 10.
You Are the Exhibit Pop up museums turn Santa Cruz culture into art history | t was a glorious Saturday at Mariner Park, complete with blue skies, sunshine and a gentle breeze coming off the bay. Dozens of people were milling about the Museum of Art & History’s harbor-themed pop up museum looking at photos, news clippings and maritime artifacts. They discussed local harbor memorabilia, including a Harbor Master badge that was dented in the Loma Prieta earthquake and a well-used life raft, and swapped stories about boats, people, and unlikely happenings. Three times I overheard a story, shared by three different people, about the time a Piper Cub airplane landed in the harbor. When the pilot was told he couldn’t land there, his response was, “Show me the rule.” Each retelling of the story elicits laughs and head shakes, and a bit of Santa Cruz history is passed along. So it goes at a pop up museum, where the visitors, their memories, their stories and their stuff are the exhibit. Over the last few years, the Museum of Art & History (MAH) has hosted more than 30 pop up museums. Nora Grant, the museum’s community programs director, says the idea is to bring people from all walks of life together to share stories and objects with one another. She likens them to community potlucks, with the museum providing frames and organizational elbow grease, and the community providing the fixings. It’s a brilliant way to tap into community lore and artifacts that might otherwise just be collecting dust in an attic. The idea of hosting pop up museums was brought to the MAH by Michelle DelCarlo in 2012. As part of her thesis, DelCarlo hosted a lovethemed pop up museum. The MAH team was so taken with the idea that they applied for, and received, a grant from the James Irvine Foundation to launch a pop up series. They also created a free, open source kit for those who want to organize their own pop up museums. “DelCarlo gave us the skeleton,” Grant says, “and the museum really fleshed it out.” While the idea of an ephemeral museum is nothing new, Grant says that DelCarlo uses the
I

pop up format to specifically enrich community engagement and move beyond the confines of a museum. “A pop up museum is not specific to location,” says Grant. That’s one of the most challenging and the most awesome things about it ... It’s really redefining and rethinking what it means to be a museum.” Among Grant’s favorite pop up museums thus far are “Growth,” at the UCSC Arboretum; “Handmade,” which the MAH did in partnership with the Bike Church and “Fabrica; The Wharf is in the Heart,” a celebration of the wharf’s 100th anniversary; one about failed relationships titled “F My Ex”; and “My Medicine,” where people shared stories of recovery and healing. In addition to bringing people together, the pop ups are a way for the museum to connect with local partners. For example, the harbor pop up was hosted in collaboration with the Port District. On Saturday, the MAH, in collaboration with the Coastal Watershed Council, presents a San Lorenzo River pop up museum at San Lorenzo Park. “The river is a hot topic right now,” says Grant. “People have a lot of opinions about how it can be restored, or how it can be brought to life, or how it can be cleaned. I’m curious to see how people reflect on the river,” she adds, “as well as looking forward to what the river can be.” Everyone is invited to bring something riverrelated to share, which, according to Grant, is what makes a pop up museum great—you never know what kind of treasures will show up. “The pop up museum has allowed us to bring the museum ... into the hands and minds of people,” she says. “What people will do with pop up museums is amazingly unpredictable.” INFO: The San Lorenzo River Pop Up Museum takes place Saturday, May 10 at San Lorenzo Park, 137 Dakota St., Santa Cruz. Noon - 2 p.m. For more information visit www.santacruzmah.org

Slam Poetry Orton's crazed spirit lives in JTC's hilarious 'What the Butler Saw' BY LISA JENSEN
poiler alert: there is no butler in What the Butler Saw. But there's plenty to see and enjoy in Joe Orton's scabrously funny 1967 comedy, as performed by the Jewel Theatre Company. This production concludes JTC's ninth season with a bang, literally: it's a slamming-door farce in which the set's four doors repeatedly slam, identities are mistaken, switched, disguised and deconstructed, thwarted sexuality drives the plot, and anarchy runs riot over all. In other words, business as usual for Orton, the working-class Brit whose subversively witty comedies blazed across the London theatre scene during his brief mid-’60s career. One of the great things about this production is it doesn't feel dated at all. Yes, it's rooted in the '60s, from the British Invasion soundtrack that greets audiences on the way to their seats, to B. Modern's mod-influenced costumes. But Orton's comic style is timeless; his tweaking of authority and cheeky disdain for hallowed traditions and bourgeois propriety would be equally at home on a 16th-Century Commedia dell'arte stage or last night's cable TV comedy series. And the excellent JTC team mines the material for every possible laugh. What the Butler Saw continues JTC's fertile association with Shakespeare Santa Cruz alumni. Director Art Manke (whose credits include the wonderful Bach At Leipzig and The Three Musketeers for SSC) stages the piece with verve and clarity; even as the farcical elements ramp up, nothing onstage feels rushed or chaotic. And the inimitable Mike Ryan notches up another entertaining performance as Dr. Prentice, head of a tony private psychiatric clinic, whose aborted attempt to seduce his dewy new young secretary, Geraldine Barclay (a charming Audrey Rumsby), and his increasingly frazzled attempts to conceal this fact, especially from his virago wife (JTC Artistic Director Julie James), sow the seeds of mayhem in Orton's frisky plot.

Also on board is the hilarious Danny Scheie as Dr. Rance, a civil servant visiting the clinic on behalf of the British government. As the principle representative of authority, it's Dr. Rance's function in the play to misinterpret evidence, misconstrue motives, and misdiagnose everyone else as a raving lunatic—and Scheie wrings the most out of every syllable of caustic observation and gleeful epiphany. His second act speech summing up perceived events in the most lurid possible terms is worth the price of admission all by itself. When James' imperious Mrs. Prentice bursts onto the scene, she has in tow one Nicholas Beckett (Josh Saleh), a sexy young working-class bellhop whom she failed to seduce the night before at a nearby hotel, but who nevertheless produces "pornographic photos" of their encounter which he hopes to trade for a better job. Beckett and Geraldine are the young innocents caught up in the crazed lies and schemes of their elders; they are the ones most often stripped down to their skivvies and forced to switch clothes and genders to suit the others' frenzied plotting, and the stalwart Saleh and plucky Rumsby are delightful in the roles. Rounding out the cast is a very funny Robert Sicular as a formidable London bobbie called Sergeant Match. As the other major authority figure, whose crisp uniform and demeanor suggest absolute control, he is, of course, doomed to the worst indignities, from cross-dressing to an accidental overdose of tranquilizers. No amount of personal aplomb or official prestige can save you from random acts of lunacy in the Orton universe, and this production conveys Orton's unfettered spirit in all its subversive glory. The JTC production of What The Butler Saw plays through May 25 at Center Stage (1001 Center Street, SC). Call (831) 425-7506 or visit JewelTheatre.net for tickets and information.

A MAN ON THE EDGE Electronic music innovator Dillon Francis headlines Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edge of Eden festival.
Garden of Sonic Delights Can the Edge of Eden Festival change UCSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image? BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON
s the stream of Coachellagrams begins to dwindle, and that hollow, empty feeling begins to sink in, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to ask yourself: can you make it until the next music festival? Just in time, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sell your bike, PokĂŠmon collection and soul to attend: UCSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Edge of Eden festival. An incredibly determined group of Student Union Assembly members have navigated a maze of red tape to bring to Santa Cruz the likes of Dillon Francis, Zion I, Two Gallants, Ill-Esha, Irene Diaz, and local favorites Eliquate. On Saturday, May 10, the UCSC OPERS field will host the first-ever Edge of Eden Music Festival. And, better still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a bunch of kandiwearing neon bro-tank enthusiasts stoked on EDM. These students are kind of over being defined by the haze that rolls in once a year; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved on to bigger and better things, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking their campus with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;4/20 is one of the number one things that comes to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds when they think of Santa Cruz; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big stereotype and a big stigma that we have,â&#x20AC;? says Kayla Oh, chief of staff for the on-campus Internal Vice Chair (IVC) office of the SUA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought that this could be something to draw attention away from that, and have something else that we can put our name on and be proud of.â&#x20AC;? Elliot Wright, UCSC alum and front man of the local band Eliquate, has been thinking the same thing for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year I see [4/20] and think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they just sanction this and have live music? Then everyone could be safe and happy and have something to do,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they got the right idea with this one.â&#x20AC;? Wright isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when the Catalystâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head talent-buyer (and GT staffer) Thomas Cussins attended UCSC, he would have given his left leg to go to a festival like this. Now he gets to see his dream fulfilled, and keep both his legs. Cussins, who helped the SUA shape the lineup, agrees that Edge of Eden has the potential to be the extra impetus needed to shrink

the campus-city divide because of the variety of musical tastes that cater to locals and students alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe this event can be something we all rally behind, and can be proud of as UCSC students and alums, and people who live in Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? Cussins says. Headliner Dillon Francis has garnered the most hype for the festival. Edge of Eden director Jose Olivas, who has worked for SnowGlobe and Outside Lands, felt that Francis would be a perfect fit after the much-anticipated deal with UCSC-alum Bassnectar fell through due to campus sound regulations. The 3,000 people who already bought tickets for Edge of Eden seem to agree that Dillon and the rest of the lineup are kind of a big deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a kind of perfect storm,â&#x20AC;? said Olivas of the long process of seeking out artists, trying to accommodate their requests, and fitting it into the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easy? No, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time. There have been challenges, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new orientation of dealing with things like major staging. Ultimately, the campus has really gotten behind it.â&#x20AC;? Led by what seems like it must be a small armyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but in reality is, like, 20 peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the festival will be a lot bigger than a sound system dragged into the forest behind College 9 or a drum circle in the Porter field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a major lighting, staging, video component to the show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real gig,â&#x20AC;? says Olivas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be dumbed down.â&#x20AC;? With only a few days to go, the expectations for locals and students are climbing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a big football team to get ready to watch on game day and cheer together. I would love for students to come away from this and realize that there are opportunities to be a whole united school,â&#x20AC;? says IVC chief of staff Oh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if for just a few hours, to dance next to someone youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen before, and just have that bond.â&#x20AC;? The first Edge of Eden festival will be held at 2pm on Saturday, May 10 at the East Field at UCSC; all ages. Tickets are $45; www2.ucsc.edu/edgeofeden.

TRAP
It’s been a short two years since the inception of Rat Trap, and the release of their 2012 sophomore album, Blueprints of a Paper City. But in that time, the group’s been through a lot of changes. Initially, Grant Simmons started the band as a two-piece garage rock cover band, which turned into a five-piece indie-folk band (including a violin). By the time they jumped in the study to record Blueprints of a Paper City, Simmons had traded his acoustic guitar for an electric, and started listening to a whole lot of post-rock bands like Sigur Rós and Explosions in the Sky. “I made a conscious decision to try and do something a little different than the first album, try and incorporate more distortion and reverb, and make it a little weirder,” says Simmons. “The songs I wrote aren’t post-rock, but they definitely have post-rock elements. You get stuff like more violin, totally reverbed guitars. We’ll get some weird textures on the guitars.” The first album, The Western Boundary, which was released in 2011, sounds like a forgotten Lou Reed folk album. The songs have a gentle, eccentric swagger, and Simmons sings in a voice that’s equally conversational and offbeat. Blueprints of a Paper City has a similar oddball ease about it, but is done over layers of sounds. It combines the sing-songy minimalism of Beat Happening with the complex sonic soundscapes of Mogwai. The violinist remains an integral part of the equation. When Simmons first met him, he just wanted him to play over a couple of songs on their first album, but then he liked it so much he wanted it on every song. Aside from just the gorgeous sweeping melody the violin adds, it also influences the band to create a sound that is more mellow and restrained. “We’ll go, ‘we want violin in this song, and so we have to restructure it.’ It makes us tone back a little bit, which always makes us sound better, I think,” Simmons says.

Possessing a name that as much describes the band as identifies it, the Deep Dark Woods are embedded deeply in folk tradition. But rather than gather-‘round-the-fire-and-sing ditties, this band plays the kind of folk music full of struggle, darkness, loneliness, the ghosts of lost love — you know, deep, dark, woodsy type stuff. Hailing from Saskatoon, Canada, the Deep Dark Woods exist in a space where ‘60s psych-folk, progressive roots music and the shadows of traditional music swirl together. CAT JOHNSON

But her rich, strong, and sweet-as-honey voice is uniquely hers. Once described as “a singer blessed with an unmistakable timbre and attack,” Wilson also skats with the best of them, possesses natural musical and improvisational instincts, and pulls unexpected material, including “Harvest Moon,” “Redemption Song” and “Crazy Love” into her vast, diverse repertoire. | CJ

five-time Grammy Award-winner for his solo work, work as a producer, and as a member of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. The singer-songwriter and guitarist has stirred people’s souls for years with tales about the damaging and dehumanizing effects of slavery, be it of a physical, mental or emotional kind. His latest album, The Revelation Part 2: The Fruit of Life, is set to be released this summer, and the first single “Rock Stone” came out in March. | BP
MARLEY
Stephen Marley is well known in reggae circles, and not simply because of his famous father. His work has topped Billboard Reggae Album charts, and he is a
wed/14 iiHOLLY
GOLIGHTLY & THE BROKEOFFS
Over the course of two decades, Golightly has released more than 15 albums and a host of singles, and sonically her albums have ranged from folk to country, from blues to Americana, and with plenty of devil-may-care attitude to go with it. On her new album, All Her Fault, she gleefully skewers Salt Lake City on the country track “SLC,” offers up a piano-led ditty that’s fit for a saloon from the Old West (“Pistol Pete”) and makes you want to get out your dancing shoes on the bluegrass pop number “Can’t Pretend.” Golightly does whatever the hell she wants, and you’ll love the way her freak flag flies. | BP

UNDER THE STAIRS
In more than 15 years together, this hip-hop duo—which is comprised of MCs Thes One and Double K—has made an indelible mark on the underground music scene with their ability to think outside the box. Want proof? Then you need look no further than the new single “1 Up Til Sun Up,” off the band’s just-released new album, 12 Step Program. Combining catchy beats with fluid raps is something these two do well, as fans already know, but what kicks this one up a notch is their use of samples from the original Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda Nintendo games. Talk about innovative. | BP

iiDUSTBOWL
REVIVAL
Voted the Best Live Band in Los Angeles last year, Dustbowl Revival plays a soul-raising, floorboard-rattling blend of swamp blues, bluegrass, Americana and hot swing, all held together with the fire and frenzy of old-time Southern gospel. Hailing from Venice, this outfit, which started out as a small string band has grown into a self-described “traveling mini orchestra” and now boasts a trumpets, a washboard, and a trombone to round out, and funk up, the string-based sound. | CJ

BEOURGUEST ii SANTA
CRUZ BLUES FESTIVAL
With a swoon-inducing voice, reverb-y guitar sound and a look straight out of the 1950s, Chris Isaak has pretty much created a genre for himself in pop music. To find an apt comparison for the guy with a long list of hits including “Wicked Game,” “San Francisco Days,” and “Let Me Down Easy,” you have to go back to the Roy Orbison era. For the last 30 years, Isaak has been a regular on the charts, and this year he’s the Santa Cruz Blues Festival Sunday headliner. Also appearing on Sunday are blues rock band Vintage Trouble, Salinas-born singer/songwriter Jackie Greene, Black Crowes founding member Rich Robinson and Memphis-based, Serbian blues guitarist Ana Popovic. | JB

right, Kyle is the non-famous one in the duo famous for songs like “Tribute” and “Wonderboy,” a fact which the D itself parodies in songs like “Ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage.” But you could also call Gass the musically talented half. In his solo project, Gass is consistently entertaining, musically impressive and always self-deprecating, too. He don’t need no Hollywood Jack anyway! | JP

Lúpulo Craft Beer House BY AARON CARNES
or a lot of people, beer food means nachos and jalapeno poppers. But Stuyvie Bearns Esteva and Noelle Marie Antolin, the owners of Lúpulo Craft Beer House, are challenging that notion. Their restaurant, which opened last month, is both a haven for beer fanatics, and a Latin fusion restaurant. We asked Esteva and Antolin about how it works.

STUYVIE BEARNS ESTEVA: I’m very obsessed with beer. Noelle and I have been waiting for about seven years for someone to open a place like this. We both decided that maybe it was time to jump into the game.
You have something called a Papa Baked Potato Sandwich on your menu. What on earth is that? ESTEVA: That was Noelle’s creation. I thought she was pretty crazy. It’s basically a baked potato in a sandwich. It’s delicious, and very moist. NOELLE MARIE ANTOLIN: You have baked, sliced pieces of potato that are seasoned with garlic powder and salt and pepper and olive oil, piled on with green onions and cheddar cheese and sour cream, and then grilled to perfection. Oh yeah, and bacon as well. It’s definitely good beer food.
What’s an out-of-the-ordinary beer you’d suggest? ESTEVA: We have sour beers, something that a lot of people have never tasted. They’re beers that have a tartness to them, which can vary from being mildly tart to almost vinegar tart. It’s traditionally from Belgium. A lot of American brewers are making sour beers now. A lot of people when they have their first sour beer will think there’s something wrong with it, but as their taste develops then all the sudden it can’t be sour enough. It’s the big rage in the beer world right now.
What about a recommendation from the Latin fusion menu? ANTOLIN: Albondigas En Almendra. It’s a traditional Spanish tapas. It’s not cream-based, it’s almond-based, like a creamy almond saffron sauce. It’s really rich. The base is bread that’s fried in olive oil. In Spanish cuisine, a lot of times you used fried bread as a thickener, so that adds a ton of flavor. Then we’re also infusing tons of sherry wine, and we’re trying to play with infusing beer into our food. Lúpulo Craft Beer House is at 233 Cathcart St., Santa Cruz, 454.8306.

Like Mothers for Chocolate Mother’s Day delights; plus, La Posta’s assist and Discretion advised | BY CHRISTINA WATERS rt, chocolate, and Mother's Day weekend—a concept made in heaven. OK, promotional heaven. Nonetheless, what mother doesn't love chocolate? Mine would throw me under the bus for anything containing cacao.

Kitchen Switches Congratulations to La Posta chef Katherine Stern, the new mother of
twins Eli and Mena. Stern's now juggling babies rather than panna cotta and shaved fennel, and in the meantime the wildly popular Seabright kitchen is being expertly handled by Mark Denham, who restaurateur Patrice Boyle praises as having "deep knowledge about how to make great food happen." Denham is a Bay Area kitchen veteran, with credentials from Manresa, Laiola, Bix and Chez Panisse. A passionate practitioner of "nose to tail" cooking, Denham can butcher whole carcasses down to "every single smallest part," according to a justifiably proud Boyle. Which brings me to another key change in the local cooking landscape. In two weeks, Chef Santos Majano will be exiting the building— Soif—to start up The Kitchen at Discretion. Discretion Brewing is the organic craft beer mecca on 41st Avenue owned by Kathleen Genco, with Michael Demers in charge of brewing the house signature line of
award-winning beers. And this signature food with craft beer alliance really is a big deal. In collaboration with his wife Laura, Majano plans to create a menu of beer-focused foods at the brewery using locally sourced organic ingredients, and all of the delicious ideas we've come to know and love during his five years at Soif. Genco told us she envisions "small plates to mix, match, and share— because that's the way I like to eat." We can also expect the continued alliance between Discretion and Fogline Farms—exactly the sort of alliance we enjoy watching grow and flourish! Stay tuned.
O'mei's Electrifying Noodles Ants Climbing a Tree? You bet, especially if that colorful title is translated by O'mei chef Karl Cook into an addictive dish of cellophane noodles laced with scallions, minced pork and pungent Szechuan peppercorns. Add another outstanding noodle entree—
San Xian chow mein, succulent with noodles, shrimp, chicken and matchstick pork, wok'd with infant bok choy in a garlic and chive sauce—and you have our new go-to dinner at the 35year-old dining landmark. NB: always begin with an appetizer of the colossal Red Oil Dumplings.
Blissful Burgers @ Assembly We began with a cleverly deconstructed Caesar Salad, made of Little Gem lettuces dusted with crunchy garlic bread "dust," Parmesan and a lemony vinaigrette. We opted not to add anchovies for two dollars more. Didn't miss them a bit. A truly vivacious starter. While I enjoyed a bowl of the house braised beef, my companion scored what might be the best burger in town. For $12 this perfectly grilled bit of plump Angus beef arrived with classic frites and a side of peppery infant arugula salad. Great presentation and a surefire idea for when you crave 1) a burger, and 2) a light, inexpensive dinner in a stylish setting.

Bargetto Winery Zinfandel 2011 BY JOSIE COWDEN The Bargetto family has many things to celebrate these days—first and foremost, running a fine winery for 80 years. Their tasting room in Soquel is one of the few open daily in the Santa Cruz area, and, as well as producing fine wines, Bargetto Winery continues to host interesting events at their spacious facility on Soquel Creek. This bright ruby Zinfandel is a delicious mouthful of well-made wine—with grapes harvested from Lodi—and it’s a good deal at $18 (or about $15 a bottle if you buy a whole case). Aromas of ripe raspberries, toasted cedar, raisins and plum jam entice the drinker before the flavors of juicy berries delight the palate. Get some of this for your next barbecue, or pair it with a pork roast or a burger. And with a nod to the 1940s, the label on this old-vine Zin is an eye-catching look-back at Bargetto’s days of yesteryear. Bargetto Winery also produces six wines from grapes grown on their Regan Estate Vineyards, a favorite of mine being the fabulous La Vita, a blend of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Refosco. John Bargetto invited me last month to take a look at Regan Vineyards, a stunning piece of property consisting of 40 acres set high in the Corralitos hills with sweeping views of the Monterey Bay. The healthy vines looked beautiful in the afternoon sun, with tiny grapes getting ready to ripen later in the year into wine-producing globes. I was more than impressed. This is god’s little acre—and then some—and Bargetto has great plans for it. He intends to build a high-end winery and tasting room soon, and he is looking for “co-visionaries” who would be interested in being involved with this state-of-the-art project. Build it and they will come, I say. Bargetto Winery, 3535 N. Main St., Soquel, 475-2258. Bargetto.com.

LOVE WILL TEAR US APART Photos and even home-movie footage of the subjects of the documentary ‘The Galapagos Affair’ give added insight into what went wrong on an island paradise in the 1930s.
Trouble in Paradise Visions of Eden collide in real-life mystery thriller 'The Galapagos Affair' | LISA JENSEN t's a fantasy as old as time. From Utopia to Walden, from the Swiss Family Robinson to the hippie communes of the '70s, who hasn't entertained the idea—at least for a moment—of leaving the vice and folly of the material world behind and carving out a new life in some wild, unspoiled place? This yearning to go back to nature and start over is at the heart of The Galapagos Affair, a fascinating real-life mystery (it might almost be classified as true-crime, except evidence of an actual crime has never quite been proven) about strife and skullduggery in a so-called tropical paradise of the 1930s. Directed by Bay Area filmmakers Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine, this stranger-than-fiction documentary is aptly subtitled Satan Came To Eden, the title of a memoir written by one of the principals involved after the fact. Not to carry the analogy too far, but, as Sartre said, hell is other people. The story told in The Galapagos Affair isn't about a looming villain invading an idyllic realm; instead, it's about a handful of cranky loners and the accumulation of little frictions between them that leads to trouble in Paradise.

No mystery writer could invent a more promising scenario for mayhem, or a more eccentric cast of characters. In 1929, 43-year-old German medical doctor and self-described philosopher Freiderich Ritter, and his bedazzled patient-turned-mistress, Dore Strauch, leave their respective spouses for the island of Floreana in the Galapagos chain off the coast of Ecuador. A misanthrope traumatized by the Great War and disgusted with society, Ritter craves "total solitude" in which to write and think on the island inhabited only by giant tortoises and seagulls. But there's an inner dictator inside Ritter, who ignores Dore's emotional needs and demands that she use discipline and will power to" think" her way through the multiple sclerosis with which she's been diagnosed. Ritter's dispatches from Floreana, carried back by a U.S. science ship that occasionally plies local waters, find their way into German newspapers. ("Nudists, cavemen, eccentric philosophers," the headlines scream.) In 1932, the Wittmer family arrives to hack out their own settlement on the island. Ritter and Dore consider them bourgeois and lacking in "spiritual goals,"
and Ritter resents that the pregnant Margret Wittmer expects him to assist when she gives birth. But real upheaval arrives with a charismatic woman calling herself Baroness von Wagner (but more likely a former showgirl from Munich). With two men in tow, swarthy, rugged Phillipson, and blond, handsome Lorenz—she calls them her "architect" and her "engineer," although they are known to be a menage a trois—she has an enormous sense of entitlement, and a horrifying plan to open up a resort on the island, the Hacienda Paradiso, for passing yachts. Tensions mount between these diverse settlements, with covert intimations of love as destructive as the obvious hatred they harbor for each other. The tragedy everyone expects occurs in the drought year of 1934 with a disappearance and subsequent fatalities. It's like Murder on the Orient Express: everybody on the island certainly had a motive to want certain members of the community out of the picture, not to mention the means and the opportunity. Indeed, as the unlikely tale is spread about that their neighbors have unexpectedly departed on a passing
yacht that nobody else ever saw, everyone's immediate response is relief. Fortunately for us, most of these principals kept detailed diaries, read on the soundtrack by a voice cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Thomas Kretschmann, Connie Nielsen and Sebastian Koch. (It's often very telling to hear how different observers describe the same events.) Copious home movie footage of all the islanders—including an attempted pirate movie featuring the baroness and Phillipson shot by one of the American sailors—keeps the action percolating along onscreen. Only occasionally does the film lose its focus, due to a gigantic supporting cast of ex-pats and their descendants on nearby Santa Cruz Island. Their stories sometimes distract from the central tale, although they contribute to the overall sense of otherworldliness in this exotic thriller of a doc. Bay Area filmmakers Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine will be at the opening night, 7 p.m. screening of The Galapagos Affair for an after-film Q&A. At the Nickelodeon, Friday only, May 9.

MOTHERLY ADVICE We have lost far too many women to breast cancer, including my own sweet mom. The following is a suggested protection plan, all unproven as of yet, but nevertheless benign in its implementation and easy to practice. *Avoid petroleum products and pesticides, both of which are suspected to be “endocrine disrupters,” (xenoestrogens) known to interfere with the action of hormones in the body. Scientists have consistently found that an elevated estrogen level can promote cancerous breast tumors. Read labels & eat organic. *Avoid hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) in your diet, as they act as magnets for free radicals. Researchers have actually found these manmade fats in the tissue of malignant breast tumors. Read the labels on packaged foods and make the wisest choices. *Microwave in glass or ceramic only. When plastic is heated, it can migrate into the food and thus create a potent carcinogen. *Don’t use anti-perspirants. Use deodorant instead. The majority of breast tumors are in the upper, outer quadrant of the breast…near the armpit. Antiperspirants inhibit the normal lymphatic drainage of toxins via underarm sweat. Why wait 5 or 10 years for researchers to discover this as a potential cause? Switch to plain deodorant and underarm shield guards if necessary. *Go braless once in a while. Two sociological studies have theorized that the possible reason African and Japanese women have such low incidence of breast cancer is because they do not routinely wear bras, especially underwire bras that may constrict the lymphatic drainage of the mammary glands. Again, this is pure speculation, but an easy and possibly relaxing suggestion that can cause no harm.

FINDING VIVIAN MAIER In 2007, John Maloof, a real estate agent in the Chicago area, bought some miscellaneous boxes at an estate auction—and stumbled into one of the greatest discoveries in 20th Century photography: the previously unknown, but amazingly prolific work of amateur street photographer Vivian Maier. In this fascinating doc, Maloof exposes her work to the light of day at last, along with the mystery shrouding the artist herself. The portrait of that emerges of Maier (who made her living as a nanny/housekeeper) is compelling in its oddity. That so much of her work was never even developed (much less exhibited) suggests it was the process, not the outcome, that was important to her. And isn't that what art is all about? (Not rated.) 83 minutes. (###1/2)—Lisa Jensen.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL There’s plenty of fun and whimsy to be had here in Wed Anderson’s delightful new comedy. Much like Moonrise Kingdom unraveled in a quirky splendor, so, too, does The Grand Budapest Hotel, which chronicles the unlikely friendship between a revered European hotel concierge, Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes) and his lobby boy. Everything from the era—between two menacing wars—to the fictional setting of the Republic of Zubrowka pepper the tale, which unfolds, layer by layer (a story within a story within a story) much like a Russian doll. Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe and other Anderson grads join the fun. R) 100 minutes. (###1/2)—Greg Archer.
A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 Marlon Wayans is back in this sequel to the 2013 horror spoof about a guy who keeps picking women with paranormal demons to exorcise. Jaime Pressly and Cedric the Entertainer co-star for

HEAVEN IS FOR REAL Just in time for Easter comes this screen adaptation of the non-fiction book by Todd Burpo about his 4-year-old son who survived a near-death experience and came back full of detailed stories about the other side. Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, and newcomer Connor Corum star for director Randall Wallace. (PG) 100 minutes.
JODOROWSKY'S DUNE Frank Pavich's irresistible doc celebrates the movie that might have been if Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) had been able to realize his dream of adapting Frank Herbert's Dune to the big screen back in 1975. Front and center is "Jodo" himself, recounting his plans for the film with exuberant relish, along with a massive (and amazing) book of storyboards, paintings and concept art by the likes of Moebius, H. R. Giger, and Chris Foss. Maybe Jodo could never have translated his passion for Dune to the screen intact, given the primitive tools of the day. In which case, Pavich's film may be the greatest version of Jodorowsky's Dune that could ever possibly be. (PG-13) 90 minutes. (####)—Lisa Jensen.
THE LUNCHBOX In this award-winning debut feature from Indian filmmaker Ritesh Batra, a young Mumbai housewife hoping to spice up her stale marriage, and a middle-aged widower about to retire strike up a correspondence and unexpected friendship when the boxed lunch she prepares for her indifferent husband at work is mistakenly delivered to the wrong man. Nimrat Kaur is poised and affecting as the lonely wife. The always great Irffan Khan combines the wry worldweariness of vintage William Powelll with the banked sensuality of a Raul Julia.This is an interactive bittersweet romance; how it ends depends on if you see the glass as half full or half empty. (PG) 104 minutes. (###)—Lisa Jensen.
thriller, a university professor and his students conducting experiments on a young woman at a secluded estate outside of London uncover something dark and sinister. Jared Harris, Sam Claflin, and Olivia Cooke star for director John Pogue. (PG-13) 98 minutes.
THE RAILWAY MAN Is revenge really sweet? This is the central question in Jonathan Teplitzky's handsome, quietly moving drama adapted from the 1995 memoir by Eric Lomax, who, as a young British army officer, survived brutal conditions in a Japanese POW camp during World War II. Jeremy Irvine and Colin Firth deliver selfeffacing complexity playing Lomax as a youthful POW and a damaged middleaged man who decides to confront his Japanese tormentor decades after the war. This film doesn't pack a wallop; instead, it invites its audience to consider our own notions of justice, morality and forgiveness. (R) 116 minutes. (###)—Lisa Jensen. RIO 2 The parrots from the first film are relocated from the simmering samba of Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon jungle in this familyfriendly animated sequel. Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, will.i.am, Jermaine Clement, Rodrigo Santoro, and Jamie Foxx are back in the voice cast, joined by Andy Garcia, Rita Moreno and Bruno Mars. Carlos Saldanha is back in the director's chair. (G) 101 minutes.
TRANSCENDENCE Johnny Depp stars in this original sci-fi thriller as a scientist with a terminal illness who hooks his brain up to a computer to preserve his mind and gains unexpected powers. Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, and Morgan Freeman co-star. Acclaimed cinematographer Wally Pfister (he won an Oscar for Inception) makes his directing debut. (PG-13) 119 minutes.

GREAT MOTHER CONCERT
Mother Nature is green, OK?! She is like, the greenest. This evening of “poems and stories of the Sacred Feminine” celebrates her. It also, intrinsically, celebrates all women, because the divine feminine is in all of us. At least that’s what that “spiritual healer” from Craigslist told me to get me to take my shirt off in the middle of the woods that time. Wait, what? Anyway, this event invites attendees to “come hear the voices of goddesses and women mystical seekers, both contemporary and classical, accompanied by the rhythms of Persian music.” It’s a fusion of eastern and western sensibilities, OK?

In Gratitude
t is a week of auspicious days for me, celebrating the 12-year anniversary of Main Street Realtors on Monday (I founded the company on Cinco de Mayo of 2002 as an expression of independence) and finishing on Sunday with Mother’s Day, where I get to honor my mother, my wife and the other women in my family for their embodiment of the most important job in the world: Being a mom. Hallmark cards recently ran a YouTube clip featuring a fake online posting for a job that was characterized by working long hours both day and night and doing extra work on weekends and holidays with clients who can interrupt with crises at any given time and require constant attention. Candidates were videotaped responding with varying levels of shock and amazement at the requirements of the job description during the course of the interview, which culminated in them being informed that the job didn’t in fact pay anything.And the way their faces lit up when they were informed by the interviewer that the job description they had been given was in fact for their own mother was a feel-good “ah-ha” revelation that helped everyone appreciate the job a little more. I made it about half-way through the video having already predicted the twist at the end, and found myself musing on the similarities between motherhood and real estate.After all, those of us in the trenches know all too well what it is like to have worked many a weekend or holiday only to on occasion come up empty handed, during the course of a career in which there are no guarantees. To be certain, there is no harder nor more thankless job than motherhood, but any mother will be quick to tell you that it can also be the most rewarding. Similarly, with the many challenges that real estate can throw you in the course of assisting someone in attaining their goals, there isn’t an agent alive who hasn’t seriously wondered if it was all worth the trouble at one point or another.And yet, speaking from my own experience, the rewards have been far greater than I could have ever imagined. In fact, looking back on a real estate career in progress that has spanned nearly half my life, including over a decade of running my own company, I am pleased to observe that the main sentiment that fills me is gratitude. I am grateful for each of the agents and staff who have made Main Street the special place it is. I am grateful to my early mentors for setting the example of real estate investment and management that laid the groundwork for my career. I am grateful to the many good agents I have transacted with who uphold and embody the standard of a true professional. I am grateful to the many clients who have entrusted me with the honor of representing them in handling their businesses, their investments, their homes and all the details that come with them.And I am grateful for the lasting connections that real estate has given me with what have become many of my favorite people in the world during the course of representing and doing business with them. And of course,in the end I am grateful most of all to the woman who brought me into this world and helped make it a magical place where anything is possible. Thank you Mom.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 You’re here, there and everywhere. In and out, up and down. The energies are dynamic yet contemplative, fiery and watery, leading to excessive activities and moody blues. Attempt to focus in your heart. This allows all new ideas to filter through the question “Is this for the Goodwill of the whole?” Then you will know the best course of action through these changing times.
TAURUS Apr21–May21 You’re always in serious study, sorting details, feelings, instincts, and intuitions. Most important is speaking the truth. You may not know why you feel certain ways, however you must still express when the timing isn’t right, the path hasn’t been found, the past has been obscured and to move forward, without right timing, is foolish. Later, why you feel these ways emerges. Have courage.
GEMINI May 22–June 20 Don’t be discouraged. The future’s hiding, so you can assess your wants, needs, and aspirations. Be very aware of the Wesak Taurus solar festival. As the Will-to-Good pours down on all of humanity during the festival, it enhances what you’re made of - Love/Wisdom, Ray 2. You’re in its direct pathway in order to create Goodwill. Allow nothing to interrupt your Wesak meditations. Is your crystal bowl ready?

Anything unresolved with family, friends and relationships (even with those who have died) reappears through feelings, thoughts, emotions, dreams and memories. Reconnect with loved ones remembering, “Love underlies all happenings. Life creates meaningful encounters, especially through testing, to strengthen us. New ideas are impressed upon your mind.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You need a ship to navigate the rough tides of your life. See yourself at the seashore, building a fire close to the water’s edge. Connect with both elements—fire and water. As they unite, new realities, direction and new structures come forth. The challenge will be maintaining an inner steady course when emotions become overwhelming. Speak with someone who loves you.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You will want to be more practical with money and finances, day-to-day events, plans, connections and agendas, because you could simply use up all resources in a moment’s time. You may feel inner explosions are occurring. They are in terms of your values. Call forth balance, harmony, caution and care in all situations. There are dual realities everywhere. Stand at the center where the light is. That will be your adventure.
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 As you provide for others, you must also review your needs. Emotional coordination can be difficult, especially for Librans who seek harmony above conflict, comfort above constant change. While wanting more closeness you also demand complete freedom. A dilemma. Maintain silence this week, listening instead of speaking. You will learn a lot about yourself. Silence and listening harmonize.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Find ways to express yourself physically through exercise, swimming, walking, running, cooking, music, boating, etc. However you express yourself, it’s most important that movement occur to sustain and stabilize highly emotional trigger points. Daily life stresses make you feel like escape is necessary. Yes, do escape. You know how to do this. Warm blue waters are best.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Use your mind and spiritual will to focus on creativity, then health. Think brilliance and prevention. In the meantime enjoy yourself in present time. It creates the future. Have confidence because you’re intelligent, you plan well, and when you’re truly mindful, your words provide strength and enthusiasm. Ponder these things during the Taurus festival of Enlightenment. It’s a most subtle potent time for you.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’re tending to work responsibilities along with needed domestic duties. At times you need more freedom. Be careful with family. You could become tired and impatient, saying things you later regret. You may work harder and longer to the point of exhaustion. Don’t allow that to occur. Create a family chores list. Give rewards. Let everyone know they are valuable. You are valuable. Allow others to feel valuable and of service too.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Maintain strict limits, discipline and agendas so time and money are not wasted. Discipline allows the intuition to emerge. With no discipline, intuition has nothing to focus upon. Should you need anything realize your communication abilities are excellent. Ask and it’s given. Give and more is asked of you. Both must occur. Think on your foundations and the goodness they provided. This goodness rules your life.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 What you communicate affects many people. Tell the truth about your experiences, your inner and outer realities. There’s most likely a challenging situation in your life now. Move toward it with grace and a loving will(ingness. Great good will comes of it. Remember this when the road becomes rocky. A new self is emerging and new resources. Read again Psalm 37.

MATT GUERRIERI, 34-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Retired ‘business guy’ Hobbies: walking the dog, active volunteering, gardening, cooking, big SF Giants’ fan Astrological Sign: Aries As longtime customers, what would you say to new residents about Shoppers? PEG: “Go to Shopper’s — it’s your best choice! It has the best variety, the friendliest people, and it’s close by to everything.” MATT: “We shop here because Shopper’s is the best market in town, flat-out! The prices are good and the quality is great. It’s the only real butcher shop in town; you can speak with the butchers and tell them how you would like your meat cut. The fish is as good as what could I get from the wharf.” PEG: “I’m Italian by marriage, and we love to cook Italian dishes. We also like to experiment by making up our own recipes. We can get everything we need here.”
Such as? MATT: “We use a lot of Asian ingredients, other ethnic products too. Shopper’s is the only store in town that carries white miso paste and certain products we cannot get elsewhere.” PEG: “We like to eat well — fresh foods — and appreciate Shopper’s many local products such as Kelly’s and Gayle’s breads, Glaum eggs, Gizdich pies, and the ice cream bars from Donnelly Chocolates — they’re outrageous! MATT: “Shopper’s carries the best selections of local wines; it’s the only place I know of where I can get wines from Burrell School Vineyard. Shopper’s is a special market.”
How so? MATT: “It’s a very friendly environment and the people in every department are always willing to help you out.” PEG: “I love talking Giants’ baseball with the butchers. This is a fun place where you can meet and run into your neighbors and friends — possibly your future spouse as I did. The first time I had seen Matt, he was in my front yard checking out a property for sale next door. We did not exchange names or numbers. Coincidently, six weeks later we were in Shopper’s ice cream department at the same time. Our eyes locked, ‘Hey I know you.’ So here we are, 28 years later.”
