ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 It’s no secret. The wealthy one percent of the population has been getting progressively wealthier. Meanwhile, the poor are becoming steadily poorer. I’m worried there is a metaphorically similar trend in your life. Am I right? If so, please do all you can to reverse it. Borrow energy from the rich and abundant parts of your life so as to lift up the neglected and under-endowed parts. Here’s one example of how you could proceed: For a while, be less concerned with people who think you’re a star, and give more attention to those who accept and love your shadow side.

“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job,” says Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, “because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” That’s good counsel for you right now, Taurus. You’d be wise to get in touch with your inner lazy bum. Let the slacker within you uncover the least stressful way to accomplish your difficult task. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there is no need for you to suffer and strain as you deal with your dilemma.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

If you don’t identify and express your conscious desires, your unconscious desires will dominate your life. I will say that again in different language, because it’s crucial you understand the principle. You’ve got to be very clear about what you really want, and install a shining vision of what you really want at the core of your everyday life. If you don’t do that, you will end up being controlled by your habits and old programming. So be imperious, Gemini. Define your dearest, strongest longing, and be ruthlessly devoted to it.

“You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence,” said psychologist Carl Jung. Extrapolating from that idea, we can hypothesize that the more willing and able you are to be influenced, the greater your influence might be. Let’s make this your key theme in the coming weeks. It will be an excellent time to increase your clout, wield more authority, and claim more of a say in the creation of your shared environments. For best results, you should open your mind, be very receptive, and listen well.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was an influential French photographer, a pioneer of photojournalism who helped transform photography into an art form. In 1986 he was invited to Palermo, Sicily to accept a prize for his work. The hotel he stayed in seemed oddly familiar to him, although he didn’t understand why. It was only later he discovered that the hotel had been the place at which his mother and father stayed on their honeymoon. It was where he was conceived. I foresee a comparable development on the horizon for you, Cancerian: a return to origins, perhaps inadvertent; an evocative encounter with your roots; a reunification with an influence that helped make you who you are today.

Congratulations, Capricorn. Your current dilemmas are more useful and interesting than any that you have had for a long time. If you can even partially solve them, the changes you set in motion will improve your entire life, not just the circumstances they immediately affect. Of the several dividends you may reap, one of my favorites is this: You could liberate yourself from a messedup kind of beauty and become available for a more soothing and delightful kind. Here’s another potential benefit: You may transform yourself in ways that will help you attract more useful and interesting dilemmas in the future.

SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The English verb “cicurate” is defined as “to tame or domesticate” or “to make mild or innocuous.” But it once had an additional sense: “to reclaim from wildness.” It was derived from the Latin word cicurare, which meant “to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness.” For your purposes, Scorpio, we will make cicurate your theme, but concentrate on these definitions: “to reclaim from wildness, to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness.” In the coming weeks, you will be exploring rough, luxuriant areas of unknown territory. You will be wrangling with primitive, sometimes turbulent energy. I urge you to extract the raw vitality you find there, and harness it to serve your daily rhythm and your long-term goals.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

Libra. You are teeming with the buoyant energy that throbs when a seed is ready to sprout. You have been biding your time, gathering the nourishment you need, waiting for the right circumstances to burst open with your new flavor. And now that nervous, hopeful, ecstatic moment is about to arrive. Be brave!

With expert execution, musician Ben Lee can play 15 notes per second on his violin. Superstar eater Pete Czerwinski needs just 34 seconds to devour a 12-inch pizza. When Jerry Miculek is holding his rifle, he can get off eight crack shots at four targets in a little more than one second. While upside-down, Aicho Ono is capable of doing 135 perfect head spins in a minute. I don’t expect you to be quite so lightning fast and utterly flawless as these people in the coming weeks, Leo, but I do think you will be unusually quick and skillful. For the foreseeable future, speed and efficiency are your specialties.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 As the makeup artist for the film Dallas Buyers Club, Robin Matthews had a daunting task. During the 23 days of shooting, she had to constantly transform lead actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto so that they appeared either deathly ill or relatively healthy. Sometimes she had to switch them back and forth five times a day. She was so skillful in accomplishing this feat that she won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Her budget? A meager $250. The film was a shoestring indie production. I’m naming her your inspirational role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. I believe that you, too, can create magic without a wealth of resources.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 “I am a seed about to break,” wrote Sylvia Plath in her poem “Three Women.” That’s how I see you right now,

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Alan Moore is the British author who wrote the graphic novels Watchmen and V for Vendetta. He is now nearing completion of Jerusalem, a novel he has been working on for six years. It will be more than a million words long, almost double the size of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and 200,000 words bigger than the Bible. “Any editor worth their salt would tell me to cut two-thirds of this book,” Moore told the New Statesman, “but that’s not going to happen.” Referring to the author of Moby Dick, Moore adds, “I doubt that Herman Melville had an editor. If he had, that editor would have told him to get rid of all that boring stuff about whaling: ’Cut to the chase, Herman.’” Let’s make Moore and Melville your role models in the coming week, Aquarius. You have permission to sprawl, ramble, and expand. Do not cut to the chase.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 For a long time, an Illinois writer named ArLynn Leiber Presser didn’t go out much. She had 325 friends on Facebook and was content to get her social needs met in the virtual realm. But then she embarked on a yearlong project in which she sought face-to-face meetings with all of her online buddies. The experiment yielded sometimes complicated but mostly interesting results. It took her to 51 cities around the world. I suggest we make her your inspirational role model for the coming weeks, Pisces. In at least one way, it’s time for you to move out of your imagination and into the real world. You’re primed to turn fantasies into actions, dreams into practical pursuits.

Homework: What’s your favorite excuse? Try not to say it or think it during the coming week. Report results to Truthrooster@gmail.com.

<4 to stand in front of cameras and do their jobs! If you’re not concerned about this, then don’t wonder when your water or garbage bill goes up, or why parking downtown costs so much (with subsequent tickets). Someone’s got to pay for all this. City employees had a 10 percent wage cutback for three years because City Manager Martin Bernal said that employee wages were depleting city coffers. The lowest-paid employees are still on furlough! Parks and library employees were reduced by attrition. (Where did the library tax funds go?)

Instead of wisely conserving funds now for future economic downturns, the city hires mouthpieces. We don’t need multiple $95,000+ a year communications managers. Talk isn’t cheap, and the public will foot the bill. We need less talk and more action. We need to live within our means. WILL KELLY | SANTA CRUZ

Santa Cruz, a mecca for Nurse Midwifery, celebrates 40 years of practice BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

W

hen it comes to giving birth, women in Santa Cruz have access to some of the best care in the country. Women travel from neighboring counties just to have their babies here. And a large part of the attraction is our devoted team of Certified Nurse Midwives— which currently numbers 14—and a growing demand to be in their care. As the Monterey Bay Chapter of the California Nurse-Midwives Association (CNMA) gears up to celebrate 40 years of Nurse Midwifery in Santa Cruz—with an

Oct. 4 bash at Kuumbwa, complete with a silent auction and SambaDá—I connected with three of Santa Cruz’s baby catchers (a total euphemism, really), for an eye-opening brain picking on what it really means to be a nurse midwife in Santa Cruz. “When that baby’s born, and I get to hand that baby to the mom, it’s just one of the joys of my life to sit back and watch how she greets her baby, and how that beginning of love starts,” says Kate Bowland, CNM, who has caught some 2,000 babies in Santa Cruz since she began attending births in the early ’70s.

Tired, but still glowing with the vivid memory of an all-night birth the night before, Bowland is obviously passionate about what she does—a characteristic, I soon find, common to all of the midwives I talk to. The other is that they are extremely busy women: In addition to home births, which make up around 2 percent of births in the county, Santa Cruz’s small team of nurse midwives attend about 30 percent of births in North County’s two hospitals—Dominican Santa Cruz Hospital and Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center— compared to 11 percent in California

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014

Labor of Love

and 10.8 percent nationally. And while the rate of cesarean section births hovers around 18 percent in California, and 34 percent nationally, midwife-attended births in California have a less than 10 percent primary cesarean rate in California. “If you’re having fewer medical inductions, if you’re having fewer epidurals, if you’re having fewer IV’s, less pain medication, the net sum of that is going to result in fewer cesarean births, and cesarean births do have an increased risk of complications to the mother,” says Timmi Pereira, CNM, who has also caught more than 2,000 babies, primarily working at the two local hospitals. “The outcomes for babies who are under the care of nurse midwives for their mother’s care are also outstanding. There’s fewer preterm births, there’s fewer low birth-weight births, and there are fewer stillbirths,” she says. Of course, midwifery is not just about catching babies, Pereira points out. “What a lot of people don’t realize is that nurse midwives do well care in clinics,” she says. That includes reproductive health care, annuals, and primary care. “And most of us have the ability to prescribe drugs and devices, including controlled substances, and assist women to avoid damage to their bodies during birth, but also repair it if that should occur,” says Pereira. But today’s cutting-edge midwifery practice and its seamless collaboration with local hospitals didn’t happen overnight, or without some serious pushing. While midwives have existed since, well, probably the dawn of time, they traditionally practiced in a gray legal area in California until 1974, when nurse midwife certification was passed by law—a law that birthing rights advocates (many of them local) presented to legislature for 11 years before it passed. In 1987, Dr. Paula Holtz became the first nurse midwife in Santa Cruz to be granted hospital privileges. Since then, they’ve come a long way. “One of my observations throughout the women’s movement was that the rights of women’s choices in childbirth were not really talked about in >13

to bring a new life into the world, I quickly realize that their knowledge is bottomless. I too, would want them on speed dial. I learn that epidurals, as painless as they sound, limit the mother’s mobility—which is key to delivering a baby. And that immediate clamping of the umbilical cord before it stops pulsing denies the baby of about 50 ccs of blood—blood which not only helps to fill the baby’s lung bed, but was also recently discovered to contain stem cells that enhance the myelin sheath in the nervous system, providing positive lifelong consequences, says Bowland. “We’re at a time when women are very vocal about what they want,” says Anabel Alfano, CNM, who has caught around 500 babies since moving to Santa Cruz from the Midwest in 2007. Pereira echoes that the parents she interfaces with today are better informed than ever before. And they’re requesting midwives more and more, says Alfano. “I think midwifery is poised to help shape the way that women’s healthcare changes and moves in the next 10 or 20 years.” Alfano, who works with Palo Alto Medical Foundation and serves South County women one day a week, is looking forward to a prenatal group-education program called Centering Pregnancy, which will begin in the spring or summer of 2015. “We’ve seen across the country that women find themselves feeling more supported, more nurtured and much more informed when they’re in a group, and they leave these prenatal education sessions with a greater understanding of what’s going to happen with their lives and feeling much more empowered,” says Alfano. “We want to see the community receive the kind of care and attention that is so deeply deserved, regardless of income, regardless of background,” says Alfano. “And I think the midwifery community as a whole is highly motivated to make things better for moms, and, by extension, their babies and their families.” The 40-Year Celebration of NurseMidwifery in Santa Cruz is 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4 at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. for Silent Auction. Tickets are $15 adv/$20 door. brownpapertickets.com/ event800337.

the public media,” says Bowland. “You know, our choice for abortion was talked about, but the right to give birth, and to give birth humanely, with supportive midwives, with supportive staff, with real help, wasn’t talked about.” Bowland remembers a time when women had very little say in the process. She quietly recounts sinister details of past birthing practices—isolation from loved ones, including the husband. Routine episiotomies. The drug scopolamine, which, in addition to leaving the mother with no recollection of the birth, often caused women to “flip out,” sometimes resulting in a straightjacket. Forceps to drag the baby out, since the drugs interfered with the ability to push. The standard spank-on-the-bottom welcome, since lung function is depressed in newborns born under the influence of hospital narcotics. The whisking away of the baby to the nursery—sometimes for 24 hours while the mother recovers. “Birth is a very powerful part of a woman’s life. And it can be empowering, or it can be ecstatic, or it can be traumatic,” says Bowland. More and more, hospitals are becoming “baby friendly,” meaning they support breast feeding and bonding, and keeping the mother and baby together in those golden hours after birth. “And really, that came from nurses and midwives really pushing for that work, you know, it was a long time coming,” says Bowland. And even as the thriving midwifery community in Santa Cruz has a great amount of progress to celebrate, what they’re most excited for is the future; including expanding their ability and autonomy of practice. “I think we’re going toward an even more physiologic birth, and we’re going toward even more midwifery care. And part of the reason for that is driven by demand, and part of the reason for that is the realization on the part of obstetricians that they have a shrinking workforce, and there’s a national drive for more collaboration with nurse midwives, that’s definitely a trend,” says Pereira.

HOMETOWN SECURITY Spoiler alert: Santa Cruz isn’t really the ‘third most dangerous city’ in the state

SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ARIC SLEEPER

Home Security Shield, a company that sells ADT home security systems, released an article on its website on Sept. 11 titled, “20 Most Dangerous Cities in California.” There were a couple of usual suspects on the list, such as Oakland, which came in at the number one spot. But according to Home Security Shield’s (HSS) calculations, Santa Cruz is the third most dangerous city in the state. The HSS article, which predictably went viral on Facebook, claims that the total reported crimes in Santa Cruz, according to the FBI’s most recent uniform crime report (UCR), is 70.61 per 1,000 residents. The ranking uses 2012 data, the most recent year available. But, using the same FBI data table, GT calculated that the actual figure is 65.97 per 1,000 residents. That’s the difference between Santa Cruz being number 3 by these metrics and number 4, right between Stockton and Modesto—still nothing to brag about. However, there were other issues with the list in addition to HSS’ inaccurate calculations. For one, the FBI advises against such use of the UCR data, as Santa Cruz Police Department Deputy Chief Steve Clark highlighted in an email to GT. On its website, the FBI states its “primary objective” with UCR data “is to generate a reliable set of crime statistics for use in law enforcement administration, operation and management.” “Since crime is a sociological phenomenon influenced by a variety of factors,” the statement adds, “the FBI discourages ranking the agencies and using the data as a measurement of law enforcement effectiveness.” Some of HSS’ basic methods for its ranking system were questionable as well. HSS combined property crimes with violent crimes to determine which cities were the most

Critics say rental inspections are making an overpriced rental market even worse BY JACOB PIERCE

O

n a quiet street in Seabright behind a yellow house is a small white cottage, a converted garage where Paula Gregoire lived until recently with her 10-year-old daughter Isabella Naranjo. That cottage will soon turn back into a garage. Santa Cruz city planning officials red-tagged Gregoire’s home last month for violations against planning laws, and she was ordered to vacate. City staff had come to the property as part of the city’s rental inspection ordinance, passed by the Santa Cruz City Council in 2010. Inspectors found issues with the Gregoire home—that, for instance, the property’s lot size, according to city code, was not large enough to accommodate an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) like Gregoire’s, which

had been there unpermitted when her parents bought the property three decades ago. The planning commission made serious headway this month with possible ways to legalize more units. But Gregoire has become the face of the remaining controversy, ever since the city ordered her to pay $300 after she stayed past the deadline given to her by officials. Gregoire and her daughter, meanwhile, have since been staying with friends. She is trying to file a preliminary injunction to be let back into her home, but city spokesperson Keith Sterling says her 83-year-old father missed his opportunity to challenge the decision in court. Commissioner Mark Primack, who wants to see more ADUs legalized, is sympathetic. “Paula

doesn’t understand the ordinances, but she shouldn’t have to,” he says. “They should be clear enough that everyone understands them.” According to Sterling, 34 ADUs— sometimes called “granny units” or “in-law units”—have been fully turned back into their original structures in the past three years for a variety of reasons—problems that include health and safety issues and violation of an “owner-occupied” rule. For areas zoned for singlefamily residential use, city law requires any property owner with an ADU to live onsite—either in the main house or in the back unit. Both city staff and critics of the laws have said it’s impossible to say for sure how many people have been evicted, because there’s no way to track landlords who abated unpermitted ADUs on their own. >16

UNIT SHIFTER <14 Primack cautions that ADUs have made for “grassroots affordable housing,” and that cracking down on them takes that away. “It’s not even a zero-growth policy. They’re taking away homes,” says Gregoire, a substitute teacher who served this past year as PTA vice president for Gault Elementary School. Two city councilmembers are now calling for a repeal of the rental inspection ordinance over the confusion around the program and concern about local residents losing their homes. Supporters of the inspections, however, say the program isn’t about kicking people out of their homes. They say it’s about making the town’s housing safer, as most of the pertinent regulations on the books relate to health and safety. Others relate to technical issues like lot size and distance from property lines.

ADDITIONAL PROGRESS

SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Planning Commission voted 4-3 this month to relax the city’s ADU laws, allowing for shorter setbacks from property lines, lower requirements for the minimum lot size, and an increase in the amount of space an ADU can take up on the

16

property. That should allow many landlords to bring their unpermitted units up to code. The commission also voted 6-1 to recommend waiving the owneroccupied rule that requires property owners to live onsite—although that isn’t a suggestion the Council has shown interest in taking up in the past. If it does, Primack says, it could have a big impact. “That will go a long way toward saving a lot of units in Santa Cruz,” Primack says. Primack, an architect who cast a dissenting vote over the ordinance changes, says the new suggested ADU rules aren’t relaxed enough. He wants to grandfather in virtually all existing ADUs that meet health and safety requirements. He worries landlords will struggle to bring their buildings up to current codes, a concern shared by the two other architects on the commission. Other commissioners say the proposed ADU updates strike a middle ground that should appease both people concerned about protecting housing and those concerned with making it safe. Planning Commission Chair Mark Mesiti-Miller says the update will protect more units in the future and bring some unpermitted ones previously waiting in limbo into the fold. (There are currently 85

unpermitted illegal units waiting in limbo.) Not every unpermitted structure that’s ever been built can be OK’d, though. “The majority of the planning commissioners felt that we’re changing it enough to make it pretty easy (on tenants and landlords), but we’re not really going to make it OK for anyone to do whatever they want,” Mesiti-Miller says.

NEAREST EXIT When it comes to the city’s rental inspection program, City Councilmember Pamela Comstock wants to start over from scratch. Comstock worries that removing ADUs will only cut the supply of local housing, driving rents up and forcing people to either become homeless or leave the city altogether. “It’s causing hardship across the board, from landlords to tenants, to people looking for housing,” Comstock said after a recent community meeting with activists on the topic. “To me, the most damning thing is that rents have gone up. We have this huge problem with homelessness, and we’re contributing to that by kicking people out of their homes.” Councilmembers Comstock and Micah Posner say that repealing the

NEWS BRIEFS NEW JIM CROW? A number of high-profile figures have come out against the War on Drugs in recent years, including former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and former Secretary of State George Shultz. Drug prohibition, these leaders argue, leads to greater violence and crime, while failing to curb drug use and abuse. Civil rights lawyer Michelle Alexander goes even further, arguing that law enforcement’s

disproportionate targeting of people of color for drug crimes—and the associated explosion in the prison population—has created a new form of racial caste. On Thursday, Oct. 2, the Santa Cruz County Community Coalition to Overcome Racism (SCCCCOR) will screen a lecture by Alexander—based on her bestselling book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness—at the Resource Center For Nonviolence. SCCCCOR member Steve Pleich says this topic is

essential to understanding how racism operates today, noting that African-Americans make up 12 percent of the US population, but 40 percent of prisoners. “Are we going to keep pouring resources into failed strategies of filling prison beds?” Pleich asks. “Or are we going to fund strategies that support people and help them reintegrate?” Alexander, a legal scholar who has worked for the ACLU and clerked at the Supreme Court, shows that although people of color are no more likely to use or sell drugs than

whites, the war on drugs is waged almost exclusively in their communities. Even after being released from jail, she says, convicts are then subject to a lifetime of second-class status, where they may be denied the right to vote, excluded from juries, and legally discriminated against in employment, housing, and public benefits. Michelle Alexander’s lecture will screen at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, at the Resource Center for Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St. STEVE SCHNAAR

ON BEAT Santa Cruz Deputy Chief Steve Clark says there are problems with ranking the most dangerous cities, based on per capita crime stats. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

dangerous—this means that rape and murder are weighted equally with vandalism and bike theft on the list— resulting in misleading results. Compton’s homicide rate per capita, for example, was four times higher than that of Santa Cruz in 2012. Compton’s overall per capita crime rate, though, was a little more than half of Santa Cruz’s. The Southern California city would not have come close to placing on the HSS list. Keeping in mind that HSS is in the business of selling home security services, GT calculated the crime rates for each city independently, and found that the company’s number crunching was flawed, not only in the case of Santa Cruz, but with many of the cities listed in the article. Rankings for both Berkeley and San

Bernardino were way off the mark, as well—off so much that it knocked them out of the top 10, where HSS had placed them. Figures for others, like Oakland and Eureka, which occupied the top two spots, were accurate. Deputy Chief Clark also points out that the UCR does not account for fluctuations in Santa Cruz’s population on any given day. The influx of visitors to Santa Cruz can push the number of people in the city from approximately 60,000 to 90,000, which can lead to misrepresentations of data. Santa Cruz City Council candidate Cynthia Chase, who has worked in both criminal justice and social services, is sick of lists like this. “Good data is necessary to make smart policy and program decisions, but bad data is dangerous,” says Chase. “This data is both misleading and inaccurate, and can cause harm to our community.

What is true is that crime rates in our city have actually been declining in the last two years. That doesn’t mean we stop paying attention to the challenges that remain—like property crime, which is disproportionately higher in our community.” Santa Cruz’s overall crime rate has decreased by 16 percent in the last two years, according to the SCPD’s data, but property crime remains relatively high. Santa Cruz city council candidate Richelle Noroyan believes that initiatives like the Downtown Accountability Program will help to bring incidents of property crime down in the city, but states that there is no “silver bullet” for solving the city’s crime issues. “It’s obviously a problem, and I think it’s better that we deal with it head-on, and try to find common ground between people who do want to solve this problem, whether they be police, social workers, or

homeless advocates,” Noroyan says. Santa Cruz City Councilmember Pamela Comstock views the high rate of property crime as a symptom of illegal drug use in the city. “I think we have a lot of addicts desperate to pay for their next hit,” says Comstock. “Until we adequately deal with our addiction epidemic, we won't make much headway in reducing property crime.” Home Security Shield was unavailable for comment at press time, as was ADT. But it is important to note that a disclaimer on the website states that the statistics presented in the list are not to be used for any legal purpose, and are intended to be “solely informative.” The disclaimer—in tiny font at the bottom of the webpage—also recommends that if the reader wants a more accurate analysis of crime data, they should research the topic themselves.

rental inspection ordinance will give city leaders a chance to step back and review planning laws again. The two may split, though, on specifics of the owner-occupied rule, which Comstock opposes and Posner says he might support in the long run. He says he doesn’t want Santa Cruz to become a haven for absentee landlords who buy up properties in Santa Cruz and build ADUs that in essence create low-end duplexes, changing the flavor of Santa Cruz’s neighborhoods. Even some critics of the rental inspection ordinance worry a repeal might go too far. At the recent community meeting, several activists said they didn’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Without rental inspectors, they suggested, some tenants in hazardous conditions might be afraid to step forward out of fear of retribution. Posner suggested the city go back to its complaint-driven system and mail out materials to all rentals—in English and Spanish—which make it clear that it’s illegal for landlords to retaliate against a tenant who reports a hazard. Planning Commission Chair MesitiMiller, an engineer who has heard horror stories about the town’s rentals, says at the end of the day, the inspection ordinance is going to keep people safe. “It’s good that we have a rental inspection program,” Mesiti-Miller says, “and I think a lot of the students attending UC Santa Cruz are being taken advantage of, and I’m happy that’s not going to be taking place.” Local book seller Joe Mancino felt blindsided, though, by the whole process. As he moves out of his ADU near downtown, he says the process of looking for a new place on top of two jobs has made his life “nearly unmanageable.” Mancino wishes the leasing company had told him or his partner originally if there was anything wrong with the house or that the property owner was supposed to live onsite. “If they’re going to pass ordinances like that,” Mancino says, “I feel like one of the things going along with it is that [landlords] should be required to show that it is legal.”

Indeed, Vi Visitors serrves as an antidote to that fa fast-pacced world; the film fe features only 722 cu uts during its 87 minut du utes. “I’ve been all over th he world, but Big Sur has a special qu quality,” explains p Glass. “Motherr Nat ature is really ly showing off there. When I’m playing, I fe feel that at we’re almost emb mbraced by the redw dwoo od trees.” Glass says he has allways believed that music and fillm were an effe ffective way to raise intterest in environmental issues an nd social change, as well as in scieence.

That’s what we’re doing at the festival.” The Days and Nights Festival will also feature an intimate evening of music and spoken word on Friday, with Philip Glass, Tom Fain, Matt Haimovitz, Jerry Quickley and Jaron Lanier. Additional festival events are scheduled for the Sunset Center in Carmel, including a screening of Icarus At The Edge Of Time with a live score by Philip Glass and narrated by scientist Brian Greene (Sept. 27) and Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host (Sept. 28) with This American Life radio host Ira Glass, who is Philip’s second cousin. A permanent Philip Glass Center is in the works for the Big Sur/Carmel area, according to Glass and Toren. “We have designs and drawings, and we’ve gone pretty far with it,” explains Glass, who has composed music for more than 40 feature films, including The Hours, The Truman Show and The Fog Of War. Glass began working with Reggio in 1977, which culminated in the stunningly original Koyaanisqatsi, and in 1995 Glass and Reggio collaborated on an eight-minute 35mm

film titled Evidence, which will have a free screening during the festival (Thursday, Sept. 25, noon at California State University, Monterey Bay). Visitors, released earlier this year, is based on ideas presented 25 years ago in Evidence, which simply observes the behavior of children watching television. “I don’t think anyone has made more socially conscious films than Godfrey,” says Glass. “And he did it without saying a word. That made it much more powerful.” While their films all have something in common, Glass explains that this new production is unusual. “Where Koyaanisqatsi is a film about life being out of balance, Visitors has dropped all pretense of content,” said Glass. “A lot of my music is also abstract. Unless I put content into music—like the opera Satyagraha, which is about social change—symphonies don’t really have content. This is the same with Visitors—it’s more about the perception of the viewer rather than a critique of society. People ask, ‘Well, how do you know what music goes with what images?’ Well, it’s very simple. I look at the images and I play the music!”

Godfrey Reggio: The focus of my films is technology. But technology with a big “T�. By “Technology� I don’t mean a machine, or a gadget, or this tool or that tool. From the point of view of my films, technology is the new environment of life. Anything that could have been said about the divine in the past is now said about technology. It has reached the point where the new divine—the computer—produces the world to its own image. In that sense, the computer is sacramen-

tal. But it is sacramental in a way that is unlike a symbol. If you are married and have a ring on, that is a symbol of your union with your spouse. However, if you have a sacrament, it is not just a symbol. A sacrament is a symbol that produces what it signifies; it is the very highest form of magic. The computer produces a new world, and it signifies a new world coming. Diversity is the norm of old nature. Homogenization is the norm of new nature. What should be valued most today are people who live a handmade life, who create their own way of living. The unity of the planet now is held together through this monstrous homogenization called technology. Technology is no longer something that we use, it is something that we live. It is a way of life. It is the war beyond the battlefield. Life as a way of war. We’re living in a techno-fascistic society, and it’s very hard to see that ourselves.

The current wars are all about importing resources to keep the technological dream alive. I wonder how technology will shape the lives of the next generations. Technology is developing so quickly in realms like nanotechnology, biotechnology, and 3D printing. You can print a gun now. It doesn’t take much imagination to see that we’re running up against a brick wall. Take a look at what’s happening with the oceans, the environment, with violence, hunger and disease. Any industry you want to look at is on steroids now. We can think that it’s all going to come together, and maybe it will. What we know is so small compared to what we don’t know. Ev-

The war you’re talking about can be viewed as something happening outside of ourselves. But we could also say that the war is a manifestation of something emanating from within ourselves. How do you view the connection? Wilhelm Reich’s famous book The Mass Psychology of Fascism talks about the external and internal connection. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Churchill and Roosevelt; they are like the pimple on the back of the event. It’s the internalization of fascism within the individual that makes for a fascist state. Authoritarianism doesn’t occur because just one person happens to be out of control. That person wouldn’t have a chance to be in authority if the people of the state didn’t acquiesce to that. Almost everything said by political entities is about image. It’s about what’s going to go down and not about the reality of what is

erything is so very accelerated. We’re on this linear course of progress that will eat up the planet. And everybody on it. The civilizational twins are religion and war. Any concept of war we had in the past we can now get rid of with new technology. It changes the game. In the mid-’70s, you worked on an ad campaign to bring attention to the ways that technology is being used to control behavior. An ironic and legitimate question could be asked: “Can a TV commercial be produced that encourages people to turn off their TVs?” The way to reach people is through the medium they’re tuned to. If you can create something that’s in diametric opposition to commodity advertising by using the advertising medium itself, then you’d be like a firefighter using fire to fight fire. This is how I started off, actually. In 1974, I helped create a mixed-media campaign for the American Civil Liberties Union on the the invasion of privacy with technology. This is exactly what

Wikileaks and Snowden have been talking about. All of that was in its nascent form, and was in place way back when. There were records being kept on everybody. In fact, the whole decision-making of our government and most institutions are predicated on analyzing raw data through computers. We made this ad campaign for the ACLU and placed it on television at prime time, and radio at drive time, and on billboards in high-traffic density areas, and on hot air balloons floating over Albuquerque and the Southwest. The hot air balloons had big eyes on them. That campaign was massively successful. Your 1995 short film Evidence explored the effects of television on children. Tell me what you discovered. For years, I’ve watched the effect that television has on people. I got so obsessed with it that I would watch people watching television. I noticed that breathing slowed down, fixation takes place and a kind of myopic stare is present. I realized

long ago, and confirmed it by reading Jerry Mander’s Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, that in effect TVs are cathode-ray-tube guns aimed at us. We hear that it’s a “good program” because it has some educational benefit, or a great moral story. Or it’s a “bad program” because it has sex and violence. This misses the whole problem of technology, which is that it’s not the good or bad uses that one makes of the tool; it’s that the tool itself is its own direction. You don’t look at television, you live television. It is doing something to you, and what it’s doing is left unexamined because we keep looking at it. Actions unquestioned—routine— produces the content of our minds. In my film Evidence, the children were watching Dumbo. But it isn’t the story or the content; it’s the medium. Evidence was an understudy for this new film Visitors. Most people seem to love their digital devices, and yet the same technology is used to fight wars and engage in warrantless, mass surveillance. Julian Assange has called the Internet a “tool of state surveillance.”

No question about it. I’m amazed what a revelation that is to everybody, knowing that when you use social media like Facebook all of that is trackable by the companies that advertise on there. Technology is power and control; technology is our destiny. And humans offer rebellion against destiny as the way of achieving freedom. Jacques Ellul, the French philosopher, said that our greatest act of freedom is the ability to know that which determines our behavior. Ivan Illich, another great philosopher, said that freedom is the ability to say “no” to technological necessity. Visitors and the other films I’ve made are trying to seek the darkness from this blinding, oppressive light of technology. I believe in the positive value of negation, the positive value of saying “no.” There is a positive value of revolution, if it’s real. These actions are perceived by the established order as negative and it’s that very negativity that produces something positive. This perspective extends well to film; you can’t have a film print unless you have a film negative. It’s through rebellion against destiny—a negation of destiny—that something positive or hopeful happens.

‘Visitors’

Reading about Visitors and watching the trailer, I didn’t have any indication that “cyborg” was one of the realms you were covering. It’s the character in the room

that’s not seen. It’s implied. It’s the screen. It’s about how we’ve become captivated as a planet with digital technology. We’re on speed in rushhour, out-running the future. That’s observable and filmable, because all of us are already in the state of being cyborgs; we are at one with the machine. Whatever we do with our hands patterns the channels of our brain. Our hands are constantly in motion with digital gadgets of all kinds. Information has become very disconnected from place, so that now there is no place and all place; all together and all at once. We live in a globalized, disembodied world. You mentioned that Visitors might serve as a sort of de-programming. Would you say more about that? The film has very long cuts, and it will be stretching it in terms of the expectation of the viewer. This is not a psychological film. It’s more of a metaphysical film. It’s like an art-topsy—an autopsy where you see with your own eyes what you are doing every day, but through the eyes of another. This film is extremely still. The point of view of the film is that the more still one becomes, the more

Tell me about Visitors. The subject of the film is the audience itself, watching the film. While the film shares the form of the other films I’ve done with Philip—i.e., image and music—that’s where the commonality stops. The structure of this film is based on the moving still. It’s going to be a real stretch for the audience, and could be a de-programming experience. The equivalent, maybe, would be trying to stop smoking cigarettes. It’s going to be demanding of the audience because what you see will be on the screen a long time. There are two and a half characters in Visitors: gorilla, human and cyborg. They’re all caught in the act of ordinary daily living. They’re all acting in the norm of the life they’re in, and they’re full-framed face-to-face with the audience. The dialogue is with the audience, and it’s a dialogue of facial expression, body, gesture and eye behavior.

The average length of a cut in a theatrical film now is four to five seconds. [Stanley] Kubrick was the master of long cuts in theatrical films at eleven to fourteen seconds. The premise of the film is that we haven’t seen ourselves as human beings until we’ve been seen through the eyes of another animal. In that sense the gorilla Trishka is the star of this film. She is the animal and the adult in the room. We’ve switched the roles; humans are the real King Kong in this film. Visitors is based on subtlety and observation. It’s based on “less is more.”

You were a Roman-Catholic monk, and spent 14 years in fasting, silence and prayer. What was your experience during that time, and how does your filmmaking relate to that time? The Christian Brothers were a tremendous influence on me. At the age of 14, I left home, and my family was not too pleased. But I feel fortunate that they gave me the freedom to pursue my own life. I got there and I was horrified. It was so difficult. I had entered an ascetic community. We engaged in mental prayer, reflection and manual labor; things that were in another universe. In effect I got to grow up in the Middle Ages rather than in 1950s America. I will forever feel fortunate. I learned the most practical thing I could do in life was to be idealistic. It prepared me to go into social activity and to be of service. Q

While the film is highlighting the negative impact of digital technology on life, I imagine that you used some digital technology to produce Visitors? Not only “some”; I used the highest capacity of digital technology. I used prototype Red Cameras before they were on the market. While I have a lot of personal concerns regarding technology, if I’m going to be in this medium, then I can’t have it immaculately presented. It’s not an immaculate conception. In other words, when in Rome, do as the Romans. If I wanted this film to be seen, I needed to use the latest digital technology. All analog cameras now are driven by chips, and all of the processing is done by computers. If you’re in this world and you’re in a productive mode, there is no way to produce without using technology—and in my case a very high base of technology.

lent of the narration. I do this because music creates a direct transmission to the soul of the listener. It doesn’t proceed through metaphor, and therefore has the capacity to be different things to different people. Visitors is black and white and infrared. Philip's music provides the color for the film. It gives it a breadth and emotion with live, organic instruments. When music is fused with image, that creates the union I’m looking for in my films. The films I do with Philip give up specific meaning in order, hopefully, to create an experience of the subject. This music for Visitors is composed for a full orchestra, and goes back to Philip's early roots in composing; this music is the sound he hears between the notes of the music that he writes for everything else.

is the fact that one of the brothers, Phil, died in January at age 74. Following his passing, many people learned for the first time that while he and his brother Don had never been considered icons like John Lennon, Dylan or Young, all three of those artists admitted to spending a significant amount of time trying to copy the Everly Brothers.

the average person (who probably knows 1957’s “Wake Up Little Susie” and 1958’s “All I Have to Do is Dream”), they had never dived too deeply into the other brothers’ catalog as adults. That changed after they appeared a few times on KPIG’s Sunday live music show Please Stand By. Host John Sandidge would often tell them they reminded him of the Everlys—again, more because of the harmonies than their style, per se. So they learned an Everly Brothers song here and there to play when they came on the show. Then this spring, Sandidge suggested to them that they play a whole show paying tribute to the Everly Brothers—and by that time, they were hooked. “We jumped on the idea,” says Kellen. The result is “The Coffis Brothers Tribute to the Everly Brothers,” a show on Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz, which is being presented by Sandidge’s Snazzy Productions. The brothers—who released their second album, the Kickstarter-funded Wrong Side of the Road, in February— will perform the show with their full band, which also features Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, Aidan Collins on bass, and Henry Chadwick on drums. In preparing the setlist, they scoured the Everlys’ work, first agreeing on 10 or so classics from the duo that had to be included. Don and Phil got their start in country music; their first hit was in 1957 with “Bye Bye Love.” They quickly established a

crossover early-rock sound that put many of their hits on the pop, country and R&B charts at the same time. Their parade of hits was impactful, but relatively short, with their last big hit, “Crying in the Rain,” coming in 1962. It was some of their lesser-known gems, however—like the crazyrockin’ title track off their 1964 album Gone, Gone, Gone—that got Kellen the most excited. “Some of my favorite ones we’re doing are the deep cuts,” he says. In the course of preparing for the show, the tight melodies and punchy songcraft that distinguished the duo (and the best of early rock, in general) has led to the Everly Brothers having a whole new kind of influence on the Coffis Brothers. “I think it’s making us a better band,” says Kellen. He also appreciates the way the Everly Brothers openly preached the gospel of pop, while still producing songs so enduring they have had everyone from Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss to Bonnie Prince Billy and Dawn McCarthy joining up to cover their songs. “Everyone likes the Everly Brothers, even if they’re not diehard fans. Their songs are great—catchy, short and just good hooks,” he says. “This isn’t like we’re doing a Pink Floyd album.” The Coffis Brothers perform their tribute to the Everly Brothers at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz.

The Lone Bellow has turned a personal tragedy into musical triumph BY CAT JOHNSON

I

t was a family tragedy that transformed Zach Williams into a songwriter. His wife Stacy was in a horseback-riding accident, and the couple was told she would be a quadriplegic. During the time that followed, as Williams was taking classes on how to feed and bathe her, he was also going through the stages of grief—anger, sadness, then numbness. It was during these periods of feeling numb that he started writing in his journal, in an attempt to process his experience. “I started writing in rhymes to try to press my thoughts out of my brain,” he says. “There was something about the rhythm that helped me—

just in the little moments of putting pen to paper.” A friend saw the journal entries and suggested that Williams learn how to play guitar and sing so that he could share the thoughts that looked a lot like verses and choruses. Williams took his advice, picking up the guitar and starting the process of turning his deeply personal thoughts and emotions into songs. Incredibly, Stacy made a full recovery. Shortly thereafter, the couple moved to New York to pursue their creative interests. While there, Williams became part of a community of songwriters and open mic regulars that, he says, “were beautifully and

brutally honest,” letting each other know when a song was too selfabsorbed or when it really connected. It was at an impromptu music session at a diner that the band the Lone Bellow was born, when Williams and his longtime friend Brian Elmquist connected with singer Kanene Pipkin, whose older brother was also an old friend of Williams. While workshopping some of Williams’ new songs, the three artists experienced something magical. The way he tells it, there was a “really hard, really big note,” and when they sang it together, something happened that they all realized was extraordinary.

“There was this moment where I realized I can sing my hardest and feel safe, with them singing their hardest at the same time,” says Williams. “I can remember that feeling.” Recognizing that there was something special being created, the three focused their musical energy on the new group. Within a few months, they were recording their self-titled debut album with renowned artist and producer Charlie Peacock, introduced to them by the folk duo the Civil Wars. With Peacock at the helm, the Lone Bellow recorded at the Rockwood Music Hall in Brooklyn. The result is a magnificent addition to the American roots music canon. The record, which sees the band open, honest, emotionally vulnerable and connected, is full of gospelinspired vocals, layered and rich instrumentation and a sense of familiarity and closeness. It was widely regarded as one of last year’s best acoustic releases. “Charlie did a wonderful job of capturing the moment, the energy,” says Williams. “He’s a wonderful listener, and he really beautifully helped us narrow down some decisions that made the work something I’m proud of.” Born in Acworth, Georgia, Williams credits his musical style to his upbringing. He comes from a family of musicians in which everyone sang and played instruments. His grandmother was in a gospel group called the Justice Trio. Elmquist and Pipkin also have roots that lend themselves to the Lone Bellow’s haunting, down-home style. Elmquist was in a barbershop quartet as a young man, and Pipkin, who Williams calls “the smart one,” grew up singing in church. The band is now working on its next record, with help from Aaron Dessner of the band the National. They’re recording at Dreamland, a studio in what Williams describes as “a forgotten church on a forgotten railway” outside of Woodstock, New York. The first single, titled “Then Came the Morning,” is due out in early October. The Lone Bellow will perform at 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 29 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $18/adv, $20/door.

MUSIC everything she wanted to say in it. Do you remember when she wrote “Ring of Fire?” I was little. I was probably about five years old. That night she had a group of people over, and Don Law and Merle Kilgore were there. Because Merle had always encouraged her with her writing, she turned around and gave him half of the song. I love it, because I’ve read interviews [of him] about how they wrote it together [laughs]. But momma never complained about how she gave up half of that song to someone that she cared about. I think [the song] really had to do with how she was falling in love with John while she was married and he was married.

BRINGING IT HOME Carlene Carter’s new album Carter Girl revisits her famous family’s music.

Americana Girl Carlene Carter dives back into her family’s old country roots BY JACOB PIERCE

B

orn the daughter of June Carter and her countrysinging first husband Carl Smith, Carlene Carter learned all about old-fashioned country and folk music when she could barely talk. She is descended from a Carter family lineage of legendary musicians that dates back to her great-uncle A.P. Carter, who traveled the country collecting traditional songs. And when she was 12, her mother married Johnny Cash. Carter, who plays Kuumbwa Sept. 28, soon became a sensation in her own solo career, which began in the 1970s.

Her latest album, Carter Girl, revisits songs by the old Carter Family band.

perfect, but I didn’t want to lose the emotional factor of it.

GT: How did you get so much raw emotion into this new album? CARLENE CARTER: We did very few overdubs, and all my vocals are live as we were playing it, and all my guitar parts were live. That was cool. I haven’t been able to do that in years. You always end up going back and redoing it, and I think it needed the element and passion of playing live to it. If I start listening to stuff too much, I want to change things, or I want this perfect or that

Who’s your favorite songwriter? My mom is one of my favorites, because she’s a very unusual writer. The thing I admired about her songwriting is there was no particular formula to her writing. It was all stream of consciousness. … I love the song she wrote about my daughter Tiffany that’s on her Press On record, "Tiffany Anastasia Lowe," because it really makes no sense in terms of shape of a song. But at the same time she says

Who was more of a disciplinarian, Johnny or your mom? John had six daughters when he added me and Rosie in there. A daddy with six daughters is the ultra protector. He was pretty strict, and if I was late coming in by five minutes, or even if I were on time, he’d be pacing the floor. Every time I would get in any kind of trouble—and I was really a pretty good kid, I never intentionally did anything wrong—I was always grounded for three months. It was never three days or three weeks. Three months. You’re famous for saying that one of your songs would “put the c--t back in country.” Do you regret that at all? Never. I only ever said that one time, and I had no idea my parents were in the audience. It was just a joke the band and I had made up, and I, of course, I have no damn filter and was feeling really frisky. After I came offstage, the band said, ‘Hey did you see your mom and dad out there?’ And I was like ‘Oh my, no, they’re not here.’ As soon as they came backstage, I said, ‘Mama, I’m so sorry. That word.’ And she goes, ‘What word?’ And John was furious with me—he could hardly talk. Carlene Carter will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 at Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Gold Circle tickets are $40/adv, $44/door, General Admission tickets are $25/adv, $29/door. For more information, call 479-9421.

WEDNESDAY 9/24 VOLUNTEERING FOR CASA Childhood is a critical juncture for learning and growing, and children who have been abused or neglected are robbed of the necessary support networks to develop trust during that important time. Santa Cruz’s Court Appointed Special Advocates are oftentimes the only constant adult presence for children who have been removed from their homes due to unsafe conditions—and they need volunteers. Trained by CASA and then appointed to devote 2-4 hours of their week to a child, members of the local group are working to better the lives of the large number of children without a home in Santa Cruz County. CASA encourages people from all cultures and professions to learn more this Wednesday at an informational session in Watsonville.

The best kinds of high-adrenaline activities are those that get your heart pumping without even leaving your seat. Known for pure heart-racing films, the Radical Reels Tour is back in town with an exciting eyeful of kayak drops to make your stomach dip, gravity-defying bike stunts, and a litany of other equally terrifying sports feats from the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival. Films include documentation of badassery in Arrival, Ghost Town, Outlines and Walled In, to name a few.

MUSIC CALENDAR SWEET HAYAH

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND MOO!

Local rockers Moo! are about to make some noise. After forming last year and receiving a $2,000 grant from UCSC’s Alumni Association, the band has been hard at work preparing to release material. They plan to make their debut EP—Songs for All Seas, All Ships—available via their website before they play the Crepe Place on Oct. 2. But that’s only the beginning.

SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“The original idea was to make a fulllength album, but we figured releasing two EPs and a single separately would allow us to break up the work,” says Casey Dayan, who sings and plays guitar. “[It will also] help us compartmentalize the album with regards to sound and theme.”

54

One of the tracks on the new EP will be “The Rhythm Still Remains,” which can be heard on their Facebook page. Dayan growls in Eddie Vedder-like fashion throughout, and the song’s rock ’n’ roll anchor is augmented by its unusual, halting time signature; it is groovy, bluesy and unstable all at once. “It has a lot to do with growing up with my mom, who suffers from pretty severe schizophrenia,” says Dayan. “Most often, it’s too uncouth to explain, on a Saturday night at a bar, that the intensity I’m singing with comes from somewhere real. People get uncomfortable very easy nowadays. We all agree that music is cathartic, and it’s a powerful way to communicate perspective.” BRIAN PALMER

INFO: 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 9/25 FOLK POP

GORDON LIGHTFOOT One of Canada’s all-time musical treasures, Gordon Lightfoot has spent more than half a century performing around the world, won over a dozen Juno Awards (Canada’s version of the Grammys), recorded multiple platinum-selling records, been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and had his songs recorded by everyone from Elvis to Dylan, Cash to Streisand. He even received the Companion of the Order of Canada— the highest civilian honor a Canadian can receive—in 2003. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $65. 423-8209.

FRIDAY 9/26 ROCK/SOUL

SWEET HAYAH Hayah, the Arabic word for life, is a fitting descriptor for this band, which plays an upbeat fusion of funk, soul and rock. Comprising Nehal Abuelata on lead vocals and keyboard, Devin Moreno on guitar, Josh Gardner on drums, and

Aaron Marquez on bass, the San Jose-based Sweet HayaH also has a thread of international flavor running through its music, due in no small part to Egyptian-born Abuelata's upbringing in France. Drawing comparisons to Adele and Amy Winehouse, the lead vocalist has a clear, powerful voice and great groove sensibilities that, when combined with the rest of the band’s rock and roll stylings, distinguish it from the pack. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crow’s Nest, 2218 E Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $6. 476-4560.

SATURDAY 9/27 COUNTRY

SLIM CESSNA’S AUTO CLUB If you dig deep enough into American roots music, you find yourself at a place where saints and sinners, disciples and demons exist side-byside; oftentimes in the same song, and sometimes in the same person. Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, led by lanky frontman Slim Cessna, is a group that embraces that longstanding juxtaposition, and brings listeners along for the ride. Appropriately labeled country gothic, the band deals

with images of hellfire, whiskey, demons and redemption and does so in high-energy, punk rock style. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

FUNK

KARL DENSON’S TINY UNIVERSE Karl Denson has been a professional musician for a good number of years—he was in Slightly Stoopid, Lenny Kravitz’s band, and the Greyboy Allstars—but it’s not till the last decade or so that he’s been a band leader. His group, Tiny Universe— which is based out of San Diego— grooves hard and slow, and they mix in some jazzy horns and distorted guitars. Plus, they’re a lot of fun. Their latest album, New Ammo, has several originals (one featuring alt-country singer Nicki Bluhm on vocals) as well as funked-up covers of White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” and the Beastie Boys’ “Sure Shot.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

SUNDAY 9/28 ALT-RAWK

THE ORWELLS There are so many up-and-coming young rock bands these days it’s hard to even figure out who’s worth your time. But the Orwells are something truly unique—a guitar sound like the Pixies suddenly became a garage band, a lead vocal like the Cramps’ Lux Interior back from the grave, and more adrenaline than a trucker’s supply of speed. “Southern Comfort,” the opener on their new album, Disgraceland, sounds like the self-obliteration anthem Paul Westerberg always

wanted to write: “Drink by drink I’m thinkin’, thinkin’/Why won’t you hang with me this weekend/I can’t walk and I can’t dance/Gimme a smile and then take off your pants.” Genius enough for rock ’n’ roll. STEVE PALOPOLI INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

FUNK

NEW MASTERSOUNDS England is not most people’s idea of a funky country. But the U.K.’s New Mastersounds are a throwback to the ’70s, when soul and funk groups were really amping up the energy, and weaving in jazz influences. They fall somewhere between the Meters, Funkadelic and Herbie Hancock, and always deliver super-tight, highenergy instrumental jams. The past half-decade, they’ve become a bit of an international sensation, and the subject of the documentary Coals to Newcastle. AC

more of a niche arty music, at least compared to the much more popular rock ’n’ roll. However, the musicality and creativity of the jazz players of this time was off the charts. Several of the players from these days formed a supergroup of sorts about a decade ago called the Cookers. It’s a seven-piece jazz combo, specializing in bebop and post-bop. They bring tight, composed arrangements and searing improvised solos, just like they were doing it back in the day. AC INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa, 320 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $28/adv, $33/door. 427-2227.

In the nearly two decades since releasing her 1995 debut, Dear Sir, Chan Marshall—better known as Cat Power—has released nine albums, dabbled in everything from classic singer-songwriter folk to blues to rock, and scored her first Billboard Top 10 album with her most recent release, 2012’s electronic-themed curveball Sun. Marshall has proven time and again that she’s going to do whatever the hell she wants, and the shimmering results speak for themselves. BP

Queen would sound like if the band members were all women. No? Well, whether you have or not, the Killer Queens are here to show you. This allfemale tribute to the legendary rock band is filled to overflowing with the same crackling energy that typified Queen’s shows. The quartet wows with their musical and vocal talent, and their concerts include multiple costume changes, fog machines and a light show—plus, personas such as Frederica Mercury and Briana May. BP

A kickoff to the 2014/2015 season, the Santa Cruz County Symphony presents Creation, an evening featuring three pieces—including the overture to Candide by the legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major, and a Northern California premiere of contemporary composer and pianist Thomas Ades’ In Seven Days. A 29-minute piece, In Seven Days was written in collaboration with award-winning video artist Tal Rosner, who will be on hand to display the visual counterpart to the music. Also featured is world-renowned pianist Nicolas Hodges. CAT JOHNSON

Weak story strands terrific cast in relationship drama ‘The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby’ BY LISA JENSEN

F

reud once famously asked, “What do women want?” It’s a question that continues to confound some people, especially Ned Benson, writer and director of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. In a film that purports to examine the anatomy of a marital breakup, and the couple’s halting, last-ditch attempts to put the pieces back together, Benson thinks he’s telling the story from both the male perspective of husband James McAvoy, and the female perspective of wife Jessica Chastain. But whatever it is that drives the wife to behave as she does remains as elusive to Benson and the audience

as it is to her perplexed husband. Benson tried to be so scrupulously even-handed in spinning his tale that he originally made two feature films. Subtitled Him and Her, one from the husband's viewpoint, the other from the wife’s, both played at the Toronto Film Festival in 2013. He cut the two films together in this version, (subtitled Them) for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and whatever might have been left on the cutting room floor—what you see onscreen—is what you get in terms of character motivation. While the husband’s agenda seems pretty straightforward, we can never figure out what’s up with the wife.

Giving Chastain more screen time than McAvoy is not the same as actually exploring her character and understanding what makes her tick. This is a shame because the actions of Chastain’s character, Eleanor Rigby (and, yes, she was supposedly named after the Beatles song) are so pivotal to the plot. After a prologue in which Eleanor and Conor (McAvoy) are seen as a blissfully happy young couple literally running out on the check at a pricey New York City bistro, we see Eleanor in the present day (seven years later) walking deliberately across a bridge over the river in a way that doesn’t bode well.

Fished out in time, she retreats to the comfy home in suburban Westport belonging to her parents, a university professor (William Hurt) and his French-born, former concert violinist wife (Isabelle Huppert). Conor, meanwhile, operates a failing bar, commiserates with his best pal Stuart (Bill Hader), his chef, and tries to keep track of Eleanor, who has stopped taking his calls. Temporarily moving back in with his own father, a famed restaurateur (Ciarán Hinds), Conor is still in love with Eleanor, and while he doesn't want to crowd her, he’s desperate to try to reconcile. Sandwiched in between more flashbacks to their giddy early romance are portentous hints that something terrible ruptured their relationship. But even when we finally learn what it was, Benson is sketchy on the details, and no one ever addresses their own feelings about it. Instead, McAvoy’s pliant Conor longs palpably, while Eleanor acts out (usually involving hot and cold sexual teasing). Benson prefers to view her as Conor does, as some sort of mysterious goddess, but this robs the character of any human dimension that might make her actions make sense. The recurring subtext about women's ambivalence toward motherhood also lacks subtlety and conviction. (Does Huppert's character have to have a glass of wine in her hand at all hours, in every single scene, to show how disappointed she is?) What passes for Eleanor’s heart-to-hearts with other women never amount to much. For that matter, why would any Beatles fan, even with the surname “Rigby,” name their daughter after a character in a song who dies unloved and alone? Seriously? What the film has going for it is an excellent cast who all do their damnedest to put the story over. Too bad auteur Benson couldn't hold up his share. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY**1/2 (out of four) With James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain. Written and directed by Ned Benson. A Weinstein Company release. Rated R. 122 minutes.

NOW PLAYING BOYHOOD Kudos to Richard Linklater for such a refreshingly audacious film. Linklater had the simple, yet brilliant idea to shoot a scripted story over a period of 12 years, allowing his cast—including his child protagonists—to age naturally onscreen. Ellar Coltrane (in the central role) was 7 years old when the film started shooting in 2002, 18 when it wrapped last year, and he’s compulsively watchable throughout. It sounds like a stunt, but watching these characters grow up before our eyes (including adults Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke, both terrific, as the divorced parents), makes for a bold, moving, and utterly mesmerizing moviegoing experience. (R) 166 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY Reviewed this issue. (R) 122 minutes. (**1/2)— Lisa Jensen. THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY Engaging performances—especially from the sublime Helen Mirren and Indian national treasure Om Puri—spice up this unsurprising, yet enjoyably romantic foodie film. The location is irresistible, a sun-drenched corner of the South of France where an upstart family-run Indian eatery

sets up shop across the street from a venerable French restaurant. Dreamy-eyed Manish Dayal and frisky Charlotte Le Bon make a charming romantic couple. And there’s plenty of good-looking food, from haute cuisine to vivid massala-spiced Indian dishes to simple French country cooking, presented with enough relish to make it all go down smoothly. Lasse Hallstrm directs. (PG) 122 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. LET’S BE COPS Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. star in this action comedy as buddies who dress up as cops for a costume party and become the toast of the neighborhood—until their ruse gets them involved with real-life mobsters, criminals, and police corruption. Luke Greenfield directs. (R) 104 minutes. MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT Woody Allen’s second comedy set in France is no Midnight In Paris. But there’s modest fun to be had in this tale of a misanthropic stage magician (Colin Firth) attempting to expose a spiritualist (Emma Stone) he believes is swindling wealthy American expats among the Cote d’Azur elite in the Jazz Age 1920s. Firth is wise enough not to try to imitate Allen’s famous mannerisms in the protagonist’s role, Simon McBurney is fun as his devilish sidekick, the scenery is gorgeous, and the period costumes worn by the great Eileen Atkins (as Firth’s grande dame aunt) are worth the price of admission. (PG-13) 97 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. THE MAZE RUNNER The dystopianfuture YA novel by James Dashner comes to the screen with Dylan O’Brien as a youth who finds himself one of 60 teenage boys imprisoned behind a gigantic maze. But their situation alters when a mysterious girl lands in their midst. Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, and Thomas BrodieSangster co-star for director Wes Ball. (PG-13) 113 minutes. THE NOVEMBER MAN Pierce Brosnan stars as the hero of the Bill Granger espionage series, a skilled and deadly ex-CIA agent who comes out of retirement to protect a comely witness (Olga Kurylenko) in a conspiracy investigation. Luke Bracey, Bill

Smitrovich, and Will Patton co-star for director Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job). (R) 108 minutes. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES In this mostly live-action reboot of the popular comic book series, New York City is in the grip of evildoers when four masked outcast brothers rise up out of the sewers to become heroes. Megan Fox stars as sympathetic, turtle-friendly girl reporter April O’Neil, and Will Arnett is her cameraman sidekick. Jonathan Liebesman directs. (PG-13) DOLPHIN TALE 2 The young dolphin rescued in the first movie and given a prosthetic tail becomes the object of more human concern when her handlers have to find her a new aquatic companion or lose her to another aquarium. Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Nathan Gamble, and Harry Connick Jr. return for director Charles Martin Smith. (PG) THE DROP Tom Hardy stars in this crime drama as a Brooklyn bartender trying to make some easy money funneling cash to neighborhood mobsters when everything goes badly awry. Dennis Lehane adapted the script from his own short story. Noomi Rapace and the late James Gandolfini co-star for director Michaël R. Roskam. (R) 106 minutes. LOVE IS STRANGE John Lithgow and Alfred Molina star as a recently married couple who lose the Manhattan apartment they’ve lived in together for decades and suddenly have to live apart—with friends and relatives—until they can find an affordable new home. Marisa Tomei costars. Ira Sachs directs. (R) 94 minutes. NO GOOD DEED Taraji P. Henson and Idris Elba star in this thriller about a suburban Atlanta mom who’s in for trouble when the stranger she lets into her house to use the phone turns out to be an escaped convict on the run. Sam Miller directs. (PG-13) THE NOTEBOOK Twin boys abandoned to their uninterested grandmother on the Hungarian border as World War II begins learn to survive by studying the evil around them. János Szász directs this awardwinning drama, based on the novel

by Agota Kristof. (R) 119 minutes. In Hungarian with English subtitles. THE ONE I LOVE Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss star in the comedydrama as a young couple hoping to revive their flagging marriage at a weekend retreat to a vacation house. Ted Danson co-stars. Charlie McDowell directs. (R) 91 minutes. THE TRIP TO ITALY In this follow-up to The Trip (2011), Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return as lightly fictionalized versions of themselves, comedian buddies this time on a luscious-looking culinary road trip to Italy. Orchestrated by director Michael Winterbottom, with a funny script largely improvised by its stars, the laughs are consistent, and the wistfulness of the framing story—touching as it does on such issues as age, talent, friendship, and mortality—is effectively done. Not to mention the gorgeous scenery and great-looking food, more than enough to inspire viewers to tag along. (Not rated) 108 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU A typically dysfunctional family of grown siblings, spouses and in-laws gather for an uneasy shiva after the family patriarch passes on in this star-studded "dramadey" directed by Shawn Levy. Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, and Rose Byrne star. (R) 103 minutes. TUSK Cult director Kevin Smith ventures into the horror genre with this tale of a podcaster (Justin Long) who goes missing in the Manitoba backwoods while seeking an interview with a mysterious seafarer (Michael Parks). Hayley Joel Osment and Genesis Rodriguez are the best bud and girlfriend who go looking for him. (R) 102 minutes. THE ZERO THEOREM Expect Terry Gilliam back in Brazil mode in this existential, satirical sci-fi epic about a nutball tech genius (Christoph Waltz) holed up in a burnt-out church with a bank of computer equipment obsessively trying to discover the meaning of life. Melanie Thierry and David Thewlis co-star, with guest cameos by Matt Damon and Tilda Swinton. (R) 101 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK SAUSAGEFEST 2014 One of the pleasures of my recent trip to Bavaria was feasting on the local sausages (there’s just no way that’s going to come out right)—wienerwurst, knockwurst, bratwurst, weisswurst—it was a world of wurst. Nothing (unless you’re a vegan) beats a hot grilled sausage on a roll, slathered with mustard and sauerkraut and ideally washed down with a cold brew. Now imagine some wildly original polka music in the background. Yes! That’s Sausagefest 2014, coming at ya right here in Santa Cruz at the Westside Farmers Market. Handmade links, autumnal ales and oodles of other seasonal goodies. 1 - 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28. Make it a plan!

Venus Spirits’ new release, Renee Shepherd on planting garlic and Sausagefest 2014 BY CHRISTINA WATERS

S

ean Venus has good news: his long-awaited El Ladrón Blanco Blue Agave Spirit left the distillery last week, and by now it has found its way to local retailers, bars and restaurants. El Ladrón (The Thief) is Venus Spirits’ version of tequila, made from Mexican organic agave right here in Santa Cruz. Double distilled and aged in stainless steel barrels, El Ladrón Blanco will yield a true, rich agave flavor. “In addition to the blanco,” Venus says, “aged reposado and añejo styles will be released in 2015.” But if

tequila fans can’t wait until then, the other good news is that Venus Spirits will be pouring Venus Gin Blend No. 01 and El Ladrón Blanco at Gourmet Grazing on the Green, noon - 4 p.m. on Sept. 27, at Aptos Village Park.

PLANT GARLIC Renee Shepherd is not only the queen of organic gardening strategies, she is also savvy about how to maximize all the effort it takes to successfully harvest your own fruits, veggies and herbs. This month, her newsletter urges serious home chefs and

gardeners to consider growing their own garlic. Her website provides step-by-step instructions for planting and harvesting the bulbous plant. In short, you plant an individual clove, wait until nature does its thing, and harvest an entire head of garlic. You’ll have plenty of aromatic garlic for your own recipes and to ward off pesky vampires wherever they lurk. Over the years I have learned a lot about seeds, plants and growing from Renee’s Garden—get in the habit of visiting the website: reneesgarden. com. Inspiration awaits!

WINE OF THE WEEK The inviting 2013 Chardonnay Beauregard Ranch from Beauregard Vineyards: loaded with terroir and not oaky, this highly inflected wine moves effortlessly through shades of peach and kumquat into a slow, delicious finish with a float of jalapeño.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | SEPTEMBER 24-30, 2014

Wurst Case Scenario

The hard work of winemaking is loaded with romance. Winemakers and pickers at Muns Vineyard harvested under an almost-full moon on Sept. 10. Ryan Beauregard trucked seven tons of dry-farmed, organic old-vine merlot from Zayante Vineyards to the winery at Bonny Doon. I’ll bet that was one gnarly mountain ride! Winemaker Pamela Storrs admits that “so far the vintage of 2014 looks to be early due to a mild spring and warm summer.” And the crop is looking abundant, says one half of the Storrs Winery duo. “Because we farm organically, we have kept a very close eye on powdery mildew, which experienced ideal growing conditions in June and July. Our favorite part of the last few weeks before harvest has been watching a resident red-tailed hawk take on the gopher population that thrives in our sandier soils," she says. Like every winery in the region, Storrs is now in the full throes of harvesting. Or, as Richard Alfaro puts it: “no rest during harvest.”

homas Kruse Winery, a participant in the new Santa Clara Wine Trail, has been around for a long time—since 1971, to be exact. When our little group arrived to try some wine at the Kruses’ low-key tasting room, Thomas Kruse and his wife Karen were there to greet us. Theirs is a small operation, and they’re proud to offer quality wine at affordable prices. “Because we are small and low-tech, it’s easy to relate to the whole winemaking process,” says Karen—and the Kruses take pride in making wine “just like it has been made for centuries.” An abundance of healthy apricot trees surrounds the driveway leading to the tasting room—the remnants of Claire’s Field Estate, an old apricot orchard they inherited, and the Kruse’s delicious apricot dessert wine ($7 for a small bottle) is made from their bountiful fruit. “It’s an apricot dessert wine that tastes incredibly just like the apricots,” says Karen. With my mouth filled with fragrant sweetness of apricot wine, I heartily agreed. Pay Tom and Karen Kruse a visit in their down-home tasting room and taste all the other wines they make.

Hidden Scotts Valley gem aims for healthy comfort food BY AARON CARNES

T

ucked away close to the redwoods in Scotts Valley lies CafĂŠ Carbonero, a small cafeteria-style restaurant that has gained a loyal following—with locals as well as people from all over the county willing to make the trek. The options are simple: burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. But the ingredients are primarily organic and local, with quite a bit of it made in-house from scratch. Owner Byron Gravelle calls it a “hidden gem.â€?

BYRON GRAVELLE: Salad bars and burgers are an easy start, but we get creative with our core ingredients. To a certain degree people want to come in and see something they are familiar with and have had before. The goal there is to provide something that people can eat often without incurring a deficit of health. We start out with a grass-fed burger, nine-grain bun. We use fresh French fry potatoes, so you’re getting a plate that looks like a hamburger and fries, but we’ve taken every step possible to make it wholesome and heart-healthy.

How do you make the salads unique? We have a fresh-picked salad bar full of organic greens. We make our dressings from scratch, and they’re all gluten free. We’re able to tell people about our products because we make it from scratch. My doctor, when I was 50 and taking blood tests, said if anyone can figure out how to cook heart-healthy for my age group, it could be me. That was the challenge. Out of that has come a healthier approach to food. Because I made a place where I’m feeding people—the same people, maybe, every day—my commitment is to serve healthy wholesome food as much as possible.

What about your soups? They’re all made here from scratch from our own stock, so we know what’s in them. We’re very committed to having one vegan soup out there, and one with some kind of protein, a meat option or chicken or whatnot. The soups are switching out every couple of days. It’s according to how popular the soup is and how much it sells. 915 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley. 740-4673

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES ROSH HASHANAH

Under the shadow of the Libra new moon, the Jewish High Holy Days (10 days) begin Thursday with Rosh Hashanah. On this day of rest God judges us for the coming year. We gather with family, recite penitential prayers next to natural flowing waters, ask for forgiveness, listen for the shofar (rams horn trumpet), and eat sweet apples and honey so the New Year is sweet. We wish each other L’Shana Tova—May you have a good year. As we celebrate different religious festivals throughout the year, it’s important to understand them. They form the foundation of

the New World religion in the Aquarian Age. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, occurs this year during Libra, the sign of creating right relations with all aspects life and with earth’s kingdoms. We contemplate (the Libra meditation) forgiveness, which means, “to give for another.” Forgiveness is not pardon. It’s a sacrifice (fire in the heart, giving from the heart). Forgiveness is giving up for the good of the other. This is the law of evolution (the path of return).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Interactions, working with colleagues, planning, and agendas proceed forward as communication becomes less difficult. However, there are many relationship responsibilities to consider, focus upon, order and organize. This must be done immediately. Financial consideration must be communicated to the “other,” and thus bring order and organization to all relationships. Surrender with love.

Venus, your ruler, is in your 12th house (Pisces) of retreat, solitude, prayer, religion and contemplation. Reading harbors you, calms nerves, removes the usual responsibilities. Allow yourself to feel proud and at work. Always offering yourself to the world, your excellent talents are recognized. It’s time to save more (money), tithe to those in need, and offer unconditional love. You’re to “love everything and everyone more.”

Esoteric Astrology as news for Sept. 24 – Oct. 1, 2014

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Words describing the coming month include creativity, research, food, yogurt, purity, structure, restructure, money, finances, desire, aspiration, old friends, relationship(s). All play out one by one as you simultaneously attempt to understand the spiritual science of how all things are made. You understand that to bring forth the New World, humanity must work with the Devas (light beings). You contact them. They respond.

GEMINI May22–June20 When studying Gemini’s chart, I see a natural slowing down process occurring, due to Saturn, the house of daily life. Saturn is creating a new structure of creativity with greater dimension of beauty. As you bring forth right relations with all the kingdoms, especially the Devas, you bring forth a new level of awareness within yourself and the outer world, summoning a new life direction.

It’s important to begin speaking with greater truth and clarity concerning personal needs while also tending to the needs of family and friends, and the animal and plant kingdoms. Eventually, through them you are tending the entire world. Cancer nourishes. You need nourishment, too, and it’s important to understand what that is. Tending children is one type of nourishment. There are other types that you specifically need. What are they?

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 As you assess financial expenditures, your thinking, planning and seeking of facts and figures expands exponentially. Gradually you realize your home needs tending, clearing, cleaning, ordering and perhaps even re-doing somewhere, especially the garden. For now, organizing thoughts is the important focus. Should you need anything, now is a good time to ask. Your creativity is electric, fiery, red and hot. Careful!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 It’s time to realize a new self-image is pending. You need new colors, clothes, hair, shoes and a new perception of self. Think value and style. Style makes one unusual, fashionable, on the edge. Few consider style to be important. You’re capable of this in detail. It’s easy for you to become habitual believing the same old ways of being. Stand up, shake off the old values, set new priorities, becoming who you want to be.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Each sign has planetary rulers. This means the spiritual energies of each constellation, in order to reach us, stream through a planet. For Sagittarius, your planet is Jupiter, Ray 2 of love and wisdom. Jupiter is in Leo. “What does this mean?” your Sag mind always asks. That you are to gather love within yourself. It comes from the heart of the sun. Absorb it daily. It heals, soothes, protects and transforms. Do this consciously.

The New

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’re out and about in the world, almost all the time. At times there’s a feeling of needing to be home more. However, the world calls you. Because of this you want no complications, fewer responsibilities, and time to contemplate goals, aspirations, future objectives, family needs. You have many responsibilities. Ask for help each day. Share domestic tasks. Capricorns, due to Pluto's influence, are experiencing powerful and compelling states of transformation. Careful!

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Previously, Neptune in Aquarius refined and changed your sense of self. Now Neptune will shift finances, resources and values. Decide what your gifts are. Produce your very best work daily. Much will be expected of you in coming months. Accomplishment now will be reflected and expanded later. You will be seen in the world more and more. All that you do now becomes the seeds of personal well-being and prosperity. You might meet someone special.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You have a sense that you don’t quite know what you’re doing, what boat you’re steering or where you’re going. This creates vulnerability. You try to be practical about the future, yet it’s elusive. You want one thing and the opposite appears. You need a safe harbor, a nest, a cocoon. Tend very carefully to your money, finances, resources. There is residual ongoing grief. Remember B vitamins and Ignatia Amara (homeopathy for grief). Wait. Cry. Eat. Live. Love. Forgive. Keep sailing.

What do you enjoy cooking? Italian, a little Indian and a lot of Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, tacos and more. I love Shopper’s pork shoulder slow-cooked for chili verde or al pastor, and their carne asada is great. Making a mole is one of my favorites while spending a couple of leisurely hours in the kitchen. A lot of ingredients go into it, and I can find everything I need at Shopper’s. I use a lot of ground turkey for burgers, and their sausages are fantastic. The habanero Cheddar is the best sausage I’ve ever had! Shopper’s is the only market where I’ll buy my meat.

Why is that? Shopper’s is easily my go-to market. I love their meat counter. The butchers are really helpful and I’ve developed a good rapport with them. Whether it’s the meat or other products, it’s always worth the price you pay because you’re getting quality. The cheese selection is fantastic, and they have some really good wines at five and six dollars. They have great produce and the organic prices are fair. I like that they carry a lot of brews from our local breweries. For someone who’s also in the service business, I’ve never had a single complaint about how I was treated. They really have it down.

Why do you think so? Shopping here is a more personable experience for me. The employees seem to be happy, and I think it’s because they’re better-treated than at, say, the chain stores. Here, you’re greeted by name and have conversations; you don’t get that at the big stores. This is a fun environment, and everyone has a kind word and a smile. Being locally owned, Shopper’s provides so many jobs — I don’t know how many — plus your money spent stays here and helps our local economy. It’s the best community market around, with the best vibe and selections. Just a great store.
