Shape-shifting is a common theme in fairy tales, says cultural historian Marina Warner in her book “From the Beast to the Blonde.” “A rusty lamp turns into an all-powerful talisman,” for example. “A humble pestle and mortar become the winged vehicle of the fairy enchantress,” or a slovenly beggar wearing a dirty donkeyskin transforms into a radiant princess. I foresee metaphorically similar events happening in your life sometime soon, Aries. Maybe they are already underway. Don’t underestimate the magic that is possible.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The technical scientific term for what happens when you get a headache from eating too much ice cream too fast is sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. I urge you to be on guard against such an occurrence in the coming week. You should also watch out for other phenomena that fit the description of being too much and too fast of a good thing. On the other hand, you shouldn’t worry at all about slowly getting just the right amount of a good thing. If you enjoy your pleasures with grace and moderation, you’ll be fine.

GEMINI May21–June20 “Pregreening” is a term for what impatient drivers do as they are waiting at a red light. They partly take their foot off the brake, allowing their car to creep forward, in the hope of establishing some momentum before the light changes to green. I advise you to avoid this type of behavior in the coming week, Gemini—both the literal and the metaphorical variety. Pregreening might make sense by, say, November 15 or 16. But for now, relax and abide.

This Week’s We eek’’s Tide Chart Chart Sponsored S Sponsor ed by: by:

German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was one of the greats. His influence on the evolution of Western music has been titanic, and many of his best compositions are still played today. He was prodigious, too, producing more than 350 works. One of the secrets to his high level of energy seems to have been his relationship with coffee. It was an indispensable part of his diet. He was fastidious in its preparation, counting out exactly 60 coffee beans for each cup. I recommend that you summon a similar attention to detail in the coming days. It will be an excellent time to marshal your creative energy and cultivate your lust for life. You will get the best results if you are precise and consistent and focused in your approach.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 By the time we have become young adults, most of us don’t remember much about our lives from before the age of five. As we grow into middle age, more and more childhood memories drop away. Vague impressions and hazy feelings may remain. A few special moments keep burning brightly. But the early events that shaped us are mostly gone. Having said that, I want to alert you to the fact that you are in a phase when you could recover whole swaths of lost memories, both from your formative years and later. Take advantage of this rare window of opportunity to reconnect with your past.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Photographer Joel Leindecker can kick himself in the head 127 times in one minute. Guinness World Records affirms that his achievement is unmatched. I’m begging you not to try to top his mark any time soon. In fact, I’m pleading with you not to commit any act of mayhem, chaos, or unkindness against yourself—even if it it’s done for entertainment purposes. In my view, it’s crucial for you to concentrate on caressing yourself, treating yourself nicely, and caring for yourself with ingenious tenderness in the coming weeks.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 The writing of letters is becoming a lost art. Few people have a long enough attention span to sit down and compose a relaxed, thoughtful report on what they have been doing and thinking. Meanwhile, the number of vigorous, far-reaching

conversations is waning, too. Instead, many of us tend to emit and absorb short bursts of information at frequent intervals. But I invite you to rebel against this trend in the coming weeks. Judging from the astrological omens, I believe you would stir up some quietly revolutionary developments by slowing down and deepening the way you communicate with those you care about. You may be amazed by how much richer your experience of intimacy will become.

SCORPIO Near the end of the 19th century, an American named Annie Londonderry became the first woman to ride a bicycle around the world. It was a brave and brazen act for an era when women still couldn’t vote and paved roads were rare. Her 15-month journey took her through countries that would be risky for a single woman on a bike to travel through today, like Egypt and Yemen. What made her adventure even more remarkable was that she didn’t know how to ride a bike until two days before she departed. I’d love to see you plan a daring exploit like that, Scorpio—even if you do not yet have a certain skill you will need to succeed.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 P. G. Wodehouse wrote more than 90 books, as well as numerous plays, musical comedies, and film scripts. When he died at age 93, he was working on another novel. He did not suffer from writer’s block. And yet his process was far from effortless. He rarely churned out perfection on his first attempt. “I have never written a novel,” he testified, “without doing 40,000 words or more and finding they were all wrong and going back and starting again.” The way I see your immediate future, Sagittarius, is that you will be creating your own version of those 40,000 wrong words. And that’s OK. It’s not a problem. You can’t get to the really good stuff without slogging through this practice run.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 It’s a favorable time for you to meditate intensely on the subject of friendship. I urge you to take inventory of all the relevant issues. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. How good of a friend are you to the people you want to have as your friends? What capacities do you cultivate in your effort to build and maintain vigorous alliances? Do you have a clear sense of what qualities you seek in your cohorts and colleagues? Are you discerning in the way you choose your compatriots, or do you sometimes end up in associations with people you don’t truly enjoy and don’t have much in common with? If you discover any laziness or ignorance in your approach to the art of friendship, make the necessary fixes.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Before the invention of the printing press, books in Europe were handmade. Medieval monks spent long hours copying these texts, often adding illustrations in the margins. There’s an odd scene that persistently appears in these illuminated manuscripts: knights fighting snails. Scholars don’t agree on why this theme is so popular or what it means. One theory is that the snail symbolizes the “slow-moving tedium of daily life,” which can be destructive to our hopes and dreams—similar to the way that literal snails may devour garden plants. In accordance with the cosmic omens, I am bestowing a knighthood on you, Aquarius, so you will be inspired to rise up and defeat your own metaphorical version of the snail.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 To be in righteous alignment with cosmic forces, keep the Halloween spirit alive for another week. You have a license to play with your image and experiment with your identity. Interesting changes will unfold as you expand your notion of who you are and rebel cheerfully against your own status quo. To get started, try this exercise. Imagine that your gangsta name is Butt-Jugglin Smuggla. Your pirate name is Scallywagger Hornslasher. Your sex-worker name is Saucy Loaf. Your Mexican wrestler name is Ojo Último (Ultimate Eye). Your rock starfrom-the-future name is Cashmere Hammer. Or make up your own variations.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: PG&E

CORRECTION

PG&E must be held accountable for putting the corporation and its stockholders above we ratepayers. All the corruption is coming to light now. This “upgrade” is yet another boondoggle that will benefit PG&E much more than the people they are supposed to serve.

In last week’s election coverage (GT, 10/29), we erroneously reported that Santa Cruz City Council candidate Bruce Van Allen was an advocate of the city’s desalination proposal. Van Allen is in fact a leader of the opposition to desalination. We regret the error.

One insomniac’s quest for the perfect sleep aid BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

10

I

t was a multiple-night bout of insomnia, and the zombie-like state of ineptitude that followed each of them, that prompted my recent quest for sleep-inducing remedies. As it turns out, I’m far from alone in my deficiency of the sweet, elusive vitamin S, with its restorative and immune-system-balancing effects: 40 percent of American adults and 70 percent of adolescents are sleep deprived, according to Sleepless in America, a science program set to air on the National Geographic channel in November. It’s a worsening modern problem many experts believe goes back to the invention of the light bulb—which, with the flick of a switch, eliminated our body’s natural response to nightfall. Add to that the glow of computer and smartphone screens— believed to disrupt the release of the

sleep-inviting hormone melatonin from the brain’s pineal gland, and it’s a miracle anyone sleeps these days. But sleep we must. It’s now common knowledge that sleep deprivation is linked to hypertension, obesity, depression, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. But even if we can schedule a substantial chunk of time for sleep, new research shows it’s the quality—not quantity—of sleep that contributes most to wellbeing. Poor sleep may cause cancer to grow twice as fast, according to research published earlier this year by Dr. David Gozal of the University of Chicago. Lack of it could also lead to an increased risk for Alzheimer’s, according to Dr. Jeffrey Iliff of Oregon Health and Science University. These are not exactly comforting thoughts to be running through one’s wide-awake brain at 3 a.m., so I

consulted Dr. Randy Baker of Soquel. “I believe one of the reasons insomnia is so common is exposure to electromagnetic fields from smart-meters and wi-fi. Turning off wi-fi routers at night often helps,” says Dr. Baker. But chances are, the chronic insomniac has tried all that already, and in that case, the first thing Dr. Baker suggests is a magnesium supplement. “Magnesium deficiency is extremely common and insomnia is one of the main symptoms,” says Dr. Baker, who recommends magnesium taurate or magnesium glycinate. Another one of Dr. Baker’s highest recommended natural sleep aids is the amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP—the precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which plays a crucial role in sleep and mood. “5-HTP is nice because it not only

improves quantity of sleep but quality of sleep, with more deep sleep—stage 3 and 4, and less light sleep—stage 1 and 2,” he says. 5-HTP is safe and non habit-forming, but should be used with caution by those on antidepressant drugs, says Dr. Baker. But no two insomniacs are alike; what works for some may not work for another. Melatonin supplements, for instance, help many but are also known to cause nightmares and feelings of depression in some people the next day, says Dr. Baker. On the pharmaceutical side of things, the popularity of “Z meds” like zolpidem (Ambien) have exploded in popularity in recent years, replacing the old-school benzodiazepine sleep meds—cousins of Valium-like temazepam (Restoril), which are not only addictive, but produce altered sleep consisting of more light sleep and less deep sleep. While Ambien does not disrupt stages 3 and 4 of the sleep cycle, it has its downsides, too. “If you take them more than a few days in a row, you get withdrawal symptoms on stopping so you can't sleep without them,” says Dr. Baker. “And they occasionally cause bizarre side effects like eating or even driving in one’s sleep.” A friend who takes Ambien occasionally says it’s a dissociative. “The ego just goes out the window. I can stay awake on it and cook an entire meal, or text an ex-girlfriend I haven’t seen for three years and have no memory of it in the morning,” he says. Not wanting to go down that road, or even down the road of over-thecounter sleep meds which contain diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that makes people drowsy, I’ve taken my quest into the herbal world, finding some success with Calea Zacatechichi, commonly known as Mexican Dream Herb. While it’s not one of the commonly prescribed herbs for sleep—valerian, passionflower, skullcap, magnolia bark, hops, and California poppy extract—drinking calea tea before bed induces a warm relaxation and mildly psychedelic falling-to-sleep visions—and possibly lucid dreams: the other night I not only slept, but rode my bike through the night, among the undulating arms of neon sea anemones, and I can only hope that next time my bike tires lift off the pavement.

GAME OVER Without a new buyer, Kaleidoscope is forced to close its doors

NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

12

It’s Oct. 28, the last day of business for Kaleidoscope, the iconic book and toy store that’s been on Bay Avenue in Capitola since 1974, and there’s a knock on the door of owner Sheryl Guidera’s office. “The ladies would like to know about the Crestline A-frame in the front,” says a white-haired employee standing in the doorway. “Would you like to sell it?” “Uh, no,” Guidera tells her. They’re talking about a two-sided rack that sat outside the store for decades, and posted information about what new toys were in and what community events were coming up. I ask if her reasons for not selling it are sentimental. “No,” she says, before admitting the real answer is yes. “There are a few things that are really sentimental in here, and it’s really hard to let go, because it’s been my life,” Guidera says. “This is a generational store,” she adds. “I had this mom the other day that came in and said, ‘Oh my God, do you remember me? My kid was dyslexic, and you just helped me so much, and now he’s getting his Master’s degree.’ All these kids have come back to tell me how it’s their favorite store. Now the teachers have retired, and are coming back in for their grandchildren. You see the mother, and the little kid—now he’s the father. It’s been a wonderful experience to be with this community and watch all the kids grow up.” Kaleidoscope, was a successful store until the recession hit in 2008. Soon after, financial cuts to schools limited the budgets of teachers who shopped at the store for their classrooms.

Public Works wants more money for local roads BY ARIC SLEEPER

W

ithout the lifeblood of adequate funding for Santa Cruz County’s streets and roadways, county officials say the veins and arteries of auto traffic will continue to crack, crumble, and decay into a state of disrepair—especially in residential and rural neighborhoods. Local roadways have improved some in the past four years, but according to a report released on Oct. 28, the county’s current overall rating, or pavement condition index (PCI), is 57, or “at risk”—and not far above the threshold of “poor.” The report gave unfavorable grades to roads across the state, not just around the county. To compensate for inadequate funding, officials at the Santa Cruz County Public Works Department are constantly fighting for additional

funding to bring the county’s roadways back to a healthy state. “We put all of our resources and an extreme amount of time into trying to find grants to support our roadway system, but lately, because of the economy, there are limits on how much federal money is coming in, and there is absolutely no state money other than the gas tax coming in,” says Santa Cruz County Public Works Director John Presleigh. “We can make [the PCI] jump up if we have resources.” Currently, the single biggest funding source for Santa Cruz County’s local roadways comes from the state gas tax, which falls considerably short of the county’s needs. In the 1970s and early ’80s, local roads got the same share of the gas tax as the highways. Since 1994, local roads have gotten about half the money that highways do. The tax

revenue also continues to dwindle as more citizens move toward sustainable forms of transportation, like electric vehicles. Unincorporated areas of the county also bring in funding for streets through property assessment fees, but even when combined with the gas tax, the funding comes up short, Presleigh says. The money that does come in through these sources is used primarily to pay for road maintenance crews, which have gotten much smaller. “We just can’t afford a large crew anymore, and we have 600 miles of roads, and a good portion of them need mowing, ditch cleaning, and storm damage repair,” says Presleigh. (Mowing refers to the cutting back of overgrowth and limbs that hang into the roadway.) “We have four mowers that >14

are so antiquated they are all in the shop right now. We’re broke in the roads section, and most small counties, without being self-help, are broke, and they are mildly struggling like us.” A “self-help” county is one that implements local taxes or fees to fund transportation. More than 80 percent of the state’s population lives in selfhelp counties, and the minority of counties that are not self-help, like Santa Cruz County, have the poorest road conditions in California. “We are one of the few counties that is not a self-help county. You get more funding when you leverage local funding with the state and federal agencies,” says Eduardo Montesino, chair of the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). “A bunch of counties are scoring better than us because we don’t have local funding.” Overall though, roads statewide are less than fantastic. The recent roads report, released by Save California Streets, lists the PCI for every county in the state and the overall rating for California, which has fallen from 68 in 2008 to 66—both of which fall in the “at risk” category. The report states that 54 of the 58 counties in California have either an “at-risk” or “poor” PCI rating. County public works recently commissioned a poll to determine how residents of the unincorporated areas of the county perceive the efforts of public works, and whether

Former Santa Cruz County District Attorney Bob Lee was always a competitor, says Patti Boe, a friend of more than 20 years. Whether it was a board game, a sports matchup, a court case, or the late attorney’s bout with cancer, which he fought privately for years, Lee never gave up.

haven’t kept up with the needs of the statewide local agencies.” With its recently released assessment, Save California Streets intends to show lawmakers in Sacramento how the current state gas tax is inadequate to maintain local roadways across California. “California’s system for paying for its roadways is broken, and everybody knows it,” says Presleigh. “We need to get the legislators on board to do things differently.” The assessment report was sponsored by a variety of state agencies to determine the current state of California’s roadways, the total cost to repair every street in need, and scenarios that would solve all of the state’s road woes. The cost to repair roads increases exponentially the longer roads go without maintenance. The report projects that under current conditions, the backlog cost of repairs to the state will grow from $40 billion to $61 billion by 2024. Under current funding conditions, the state receives about $1.7 billion annually for roadway projects. In order to maintain the overall PCI score of 66 by 2024, the state government would need to raise about $3.3 billion a year, according to the report. To bring them up to optimal conditions by 2024, the report also says, the state would need approximately $7.3 billion for roadway repairs annually. California Sen.

they would favor any new taxes to fund road repairs. The survey found that although most residents of the unincorporated areas felt that public works is performing waste management, the department is falling short when it comes to road maintenance. Seventy percent of respondents felt that there is some need or great need for more money to fix county roads. After respondents were given information regarding the current state of roadway repair funding, 64 percent stated that they would vote yes on a quarter-cent increase in sales tax on the 2016 ballot. Any tax increase in California requires a twothirds majority vote to pass. When asked if they would support a half-cent sales tax increase on the 2016 ballot, 59 percent of respondents stated they would vote yes. The sales tax increases would sunset after about seven years. Respondents were not as likely to support a permanent tax. When asked why they would oppose a new tax, some respondents cited mistrust in the way funds would ultimately be spent, and said that taxes are already too high. “It’s going to be an educational process over the next year and a half whether or not the public is going to support local roads. That’s what it’s going to come down to. But we’re not giving up. We’re going to pursue every possible grant that we can, and try to fill every pothole that we can,” says Presleigh. “We got into a situation where the state legislators

In 12 years as the D.A., Lee created a gang task force, re-organized the department, investigated the shootings of two Santa Cruz police officers in 2013, and helped spearhead the recent Downtown Accountability Program. “He was the glue that held Santa Cruz together,” Boe says. “He was all about

GAME OVER <12 takes a certain skill set and passion to own a store like this. The profit margins are tight. That would probably force any new owner to be as hands-on and obsessed as Guidera has been with the latest educational toys. “You have to know about curriculum, and you have to know about the development of kids,” she says. “A lot of dot-commers wanted to come in and buy the store, and then when they looked at the financials, and looked at what’s going on and how hard it would be, they all just backed out. This is a special kind of a store for a special kind of people.” Guiderra was hit hard by the practice of “showrooming”—shoppers would sometimes come in to the store to get a feel for the product in person, maybe

even ask Kaleidoscope employees some questions about it, and then later buy the same item cheaper online. It’s a common problem. Amazon even has a price-check phone application that allows customers to go into brick-andmortar businesses to check the prices for the same products online—one of its many controversial business practices. In an opinion editorial last month, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman detailed how Amazon discriminates against books and publishing companies it doesn’t like, and asserted that although the company has kept products affordable for now, it isn’t doing so in the public’s best interest. “It has systematically kept prices low, to reinforce its dominance,” Krugman wrote. Amazon isn’t the only online retailer

that’s changing the game for small businesses. says Karl Heiman, vice-chair for Santa Cruz County’s Think Local First. “The pressure from the Internet is just horrible,” Heiman says. “I have friends who own businesses, and customers come in to look at a product and try it on and feel it. And then they go home and buy it online.” Heiman says that shopping locally, on the other hand, keeps money in the community and supports the unique businesses that give Santa Cruz its unique character. This season, Think Local First will be promoting that message with Shop Local Month throughout December. Ambivalent about moving on, Guidera says she chose October as Kaleidoscope’s last month because she wanted to be there for teachers during the start of the school year.

She has felt the weighty expectations of people who wanted her to keep selling books and toys for their kids and grandchildren. They tell her she’s still got a few good years left in her. One man seven years her senior came in and told her “I’m 78! And I’m still working.” Many tell her she’s still young at heart. But she’s ready for something else, she says. As I left Guidera’s office that day, she took another phone call from an upset woman begging her not to shut down. “No, I’m really sorry,” Guidera tried to explain to the woman. “The reason for closing is I’m retiring. I’ve been trying to sell the business for a year and a half, and I just couldn’t find a buyer. And so, I’m 71, and I’m sorry. I feel like I’m leaving everyone in the lurch, but life is like that. It moves on. I don’t know what else to say.”

officials to move forward to the ballot with its proposal. It goes into effect next year. In a statement to GT, he also supported changes to the gas tax. “Because vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient, drivers are purchasing less gas; however, fuel efficiency does not reduce the amount of wear and tear that vehicles cause to roadways,” writes Stone, a former county supervisor and RTC commissioner. “Therefore, the gas tax is a diminishing funding source for road maintenance, which remains a constant cost.” Without additional funding sources on a state level, the report projects that California’s PCI will fall from 66 to 55 by 2024. Although transportation agencies around the state have banded together to express their concerns to the state legislature, there are no additional revenue sources for local road repairs in the foreseeable future. Locally, the RTC will soon conduct their own survey to find out whether the public is in support of a countywide half-cent sales tax increase, which wouldn’t be voted on until 2016. If approved, the RTC version of the tax would be used for various transportation projects in the county, not exclusively for local roadway repairs and maintenance in the unincorporated areas of the county. It wouldn’t be the first time the RTC weighed a road tax. In 2004, the agency proposed a half-cent sales tax, two-thirds of which would have funded widening Highway 1. The rest was split between local road improvements, bike projects and other transportation initiatives. It received 42 percent of the vote, well short of the required 64 percent. Then in 2012, the RTC board contemplated a $10 registration fee through the Department of Motor Vehicles, but it decided against it, despite 69 percent support, citing the cost of the campaign. For now, local agencies like public works are doing what they can with the funds they have. “It’s just a matter of resources at this point—not having them, essentially,” says Presleigh. “But, boy, can we do the work when we do get resources. We put them right on the roads.”

of Art & History, considers as she recalls growing up in Santa Cruz when Simonton and Myth California were at their height of notoriety. “I just don’t know if women still call themselves feminists,” she says. “Like these female surfers in a predominantly male sport. There are so many women surfing out there, and it’s rad, but I’m wondering if identifying with being a feminist seems in some way outdated.” Novo remembers seeing Simonton’s meat dress and being inspired: “I had never seen anything like that before, and I thought that was pretty powerful,” she says. But, put simply, things have changed. “I have a 13-year-old daughter, and I’m raising her to be a powerful, empowered individual that is like a rad girl that will one day be an amazing woman. I don’t know if I’ve ever told her about feminism. I think she’s kind of like, ‘Well duh, I can do whatever boys can do.’” If indeed there has been such a shift, it’s not necessarily all bad, or all good. “Feminism is the F-word now. Maybe it doesn’t need to be,” says Novo. “As a positive, maybe we don’t need to use the word as much.” Wendy Martyna, a lecturer in

Psychology and Sociology at UCSC who has been deeply involved with feminist issues through her work on gender-neutral language, says that the movement became less prominent as the word “feminism” became less definable. Rallying behind a word when no one can agree what it means makes things difficult. Today, Martyna says, many feminists focus on transgender and queer issues. But whatever the current feelings about the word itself, feminists like Simonton, Schneider and Craft left their mark. “Let’s not forget that all the rhetoric and all the marching and misunderstanding, all that led to institutions that we now take for granted,” Martyna says. “So that young women have the freedom now to say, ‘oh, I’m not a feminist’ and take advantage of everything the feminist movement achieved.” The ’60s and ’70s were about making the problem known, she says, and the ‘80s and ‘90s were about building institutions. “All the structures that are in place that never would have been in place—the Women’s Center, Women’s Crisis Support, Rape Prevention Center,” says Martyna. “Those institutions are now a part

They’re what feminism is to me.” While those who were on the frontlines of the vociferous, often dangerous, debate might no longer be able to recognize the way gender issues are discussed today, women in Santa Cruz are still dealing with them. “Everyday sexism is a huge thing,” says Burrell. “In my work, for instance, when I speak to men and I’m trying to do my job, and all they can do is look at me with a kind of glazed-over look, comment on my smile, and then turn to my male co-worker to ask for more information because they don’t trust me.”

So where did the momentum, that outrage, from Myth California go? When the pageant moved to San Diego in 1985, the magnetic rallying point dissipated, and Santa Cruz quietly rode out the end of secondwave feminism. No other efforts to push for women’s equality garnered the same media attention. “I guess it’s really difficult, if not impossible, to keep up that momentum without the Miss California pageant to focus around,” says Schneider, who after Myth began to channel his work towards peace in the Middle East with a feminist perspective. “I can’t think of any major events or demonstrations after that. There wasn’t the kind of groundswell.” Santa Cruz’s young feminists became media darlings not only because their tactics were brazen and shocking, but also because they were faces that the cameras wanted to see. When Simonton began championing women’s rights in the 1980s, she wasn’t coming from a background of activism; Simonton had been a “cover girl” ever since she was discovered at the age of 14. From Sports Illustrated to Cosmo, Simonton had been on a linear path to stardom when she moved to New York City to work for the notoriously strict modeling agency executive Eileen Ford. Shortly after moving to the city to work under Ford, Simonton experienced something that shattered her reality.

“[Ford] always wanted us to take subways so that we would be on time, because if we got caught in the street traffic, we’d be late,” Simonton recounts. “I had a job at Columbia University after two months of arriving, and I was gang raped at knifepoint on my way to that job.” Simonton says she was met with a justice system that didn’t recognize the crime, even after the incredible trauma of the assault itself. “I found myself saying ‘Oh, I was mugged, I wasn’t raped,’ because if you said you were raped you were acknowledging you were at fault, which is a big issue continually. Women are still blamed,” she says. “I was finally able to understand— only on my own, not from any help from the industry, the community— that I was part of a system that was contributing to violence against women because I was being seen as an object, and if you dehumanize people it’s easier to hurt them.” To Simonton, portrayals that objectify women are still hugely damaging when they depict females “flat on our backs with our legs open,” as she puts it. As the founder of Media Watch, a local organization which seeks to challenge stereotypes, Simonton is vocal about how she sees these images influence day-to-day behavior. Seeing a woman “playing coy” on a TV show, being dominated in porn, or accepting blatant sexism on a talk show—all these visual reifications of the status quo can often quickly confuse the interactions between males and females in real life, she says—and when the reality doesn’t match the media-driven expectation, it can lead to violence against women.

WALL OF SILENCE? Incidents of violence against women remain a huge problem in Santa Cruz, and Gillian Greensite, a local activist who started the Rape Prevention Education program at UC Santa Cruz in 1979 (which was absorbed into the Student Health Outreach and Promotion program in 2010), says the number of rapes committed here is abnormally high.

In 2006, Greensite was also part of the Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women, which compiled a report to review how the Santa Cruz Police Department handled rape cases. “We got a firm from Watsonville [Applied Survey Research] to crunch the numbers, and we found a high rate of reported rapes and a low arrest rate,� says Greensite. “There’s been this wall of silence erected around the crime.� Nothing resulted from the findings, which Greensite claims the SCPD ignored, and she says it’s because of Santa Cruz’s main industry. “I think tourism is now seen as the golden egg, and they’ll do nothing that would ruffle that,� she says, her passionate words delivered in breezy, Australian accent—suggesting that tourism would be down if the city’s rape statistics were publicized. In response, SCPD Deputy Chief Steve Clark says that the department has been working to reduce the rape rate for years, and that Greensite is inaccurately attributing the high number of rapes to “stranger rape.� In actuality, says Clark, most rapes in Santa Cruz fall into the category of “acquaintance rape.� “A stranger rape to us is that person that’s leaping off the street corner, or breaking into the house in the middle of the night, there has not been a prior relationship.� Acquaintance rape, in which the victim has had prior contact with the attacker, is more difficult to prosecute, says Clark, and alcohol or drugs are often involved. “It’s easy for people to say, ‘oh you’re blaming the victim.’ No we’re not, but we’re telling the victim to make wise choices. Don’t place yourself in a situation that’s vulnerable. Protect yourself,� he says. “We all, as a community, can be more effective.� According to the SCPD’s crime report, the number of annual rapes rose from 32 in 1990 to 59 in 2004. Greensite says that these numbers are fairly high when compared with much larger cities like San Francisco. According to the most recent

MISS SHAPEN Howie Schneider was arrested in 1984 for his involvement in the Myth California protests. PHOTO: HOWIE SCHNEIDER

available U.S. Census estimate, in 2013 San Francisco’s population was 837,442, and Santa Cruz’s was 62,864. The City Data website reported that there were 108 cases of rape in San Francisco, and 34 in Santa Cruz. While at first glance, these numbers might seem vaguely proportional, they’re not. The data suggests is that Santa Cruz’s rate of rape is 4.5 times higher than the much larger city. Even when accounting for factors such as socioeconomic differences, urban density, population, and crime rate, it would be expected that either the rate in San Francisco would be far higher, or in Santa Cruz it would be far lower. “It’s a bit disturbing, because we’re not just talking numbers, we’re talking people and more people have been raped,� says Greensite. Little is being done to understand what factors might be contributing to those numbers, she says. Sustainable change, Greensite and Simonton agree, can only come from education. “We need to reach out to our kids—male and female. If you’re interested in stopping sexual violence against women you have to start with the boys,� says Simonton. “They’re sponges too, they really want to know how to be in the world.�

Since the days of Simonton’s meat dress appearances, educating the populace on inequality and sexism has come a long way. The Santa Cruz County public sector, for one, has taken equal opportunity very seriously. According to the 2014 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) report, women are being promoted at a higher rate than men, with 150 upward appointments of women compared to 57 men, from March 2013 to March of this year. Elected officials are still 82 percent male, but in departments such as District Attorney and Probation, women account for slightly more than half of the staff. Former Watsonville mayor Ana Phares now works for the EEO office under the Board of Supervisors, and sees the report as representative of a newer shift in education. “We’re seeing the result of women going for the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees,” she says. Even in the traditionally maledominated fields such as protective services (the police department, etc.) there’s been a change: “Sheriff's deputies and probation officers, they’re 28 percent women and the available work force out there is 14 percent.” Phares says that the Board of Supervisors has always supported equal employment opportunity and continuously works to promote diversity. Interestingly, though, there are also more women in the county than men. The U.S. Census estimated that the population in 2013 was 269,419, with 50.3 percent being women. Other reports, such as the 2011 Status of Women and Girls (SOWAG) report published by the Santa Cruz County Women’s Commission, still show a lag in employment in certain fields: women accounted for a bigger percentage of voter turnout in state elections, but were found to be less likely to actually run for office due to men’s “ambition advantage,” childcare responsibilities, and lack of available resources—but they’re not

less likely to win an election. The employment differences on the state level are a bit more grim. A report by the American Association of University Women showed that in California, women are paid an average of 84 percent what men receive. At the local level, at least, the loudness of Myth California may have played a role in ensuring that women are allowed the opportunity to excel. For some community leaders, however, using a word to describe yourself has little to do with finding success. Santa Cruz Mayor Lynn Robinson says that although she has “lived feminism,” as a leading female figure, the word itself isn’t such a high priority. It’s more about action, less about talk. “In another part of my life, if someone had said ‘you’re going to be the mayor of Santa Cruz,’ I would’ve said ‘uh-huh, sure,” she says. “But yet when I put my life together, I’ve done many things where it was in male-dominated roles and yet there I was. I never thought twice about it.” The changing nature of feminism and the way in which the word is treated might be what’s limiting the goals behind it, she says. “There’s feminism as a cause, and then there’s the feminism that’s more personal; my experience with it is the more personal, the everyday living of it,” she says. “But you can’t ignore the fact that because someone made it as their life’s work, that’s one of the reasons that I get to experience the personal part of it, because they kept it in the limelight.”

BYE BYE BRA BURNINGS With some steps forward and some backward, Simonton agrees there are now complications around the word “feminism.” “There was a lot of solidarity amongst us to give voice to this budding feeling that we had a right to speak up, that we had a right to challenge sexual violence, that we had a right to say ‘take back the night’ and be a part of real social change,” Simonton remembers. “And now, as I see it, the word is co-opted—anybody’s a feminist,

“I’ve gotten called a ‘feminazi’ or ‘armchair feminist’ before by people who have absolutely no idea what my beliefs are. All they hear is that I care about women’s rights, and they jump to those conclusions.” — AMY BURRELL

ONE-CLICK ACTIVISM Has the Internet diluted activism, then, or served to heighten it? With the ability to “like” a political group’s page or sign an online petition, does feminism have the same meaning it once did? “I think the Internet has, in the simplest answer, taken the place of what demonstrations needed to do,” says UCSC lecturer Martyna. “Now you stage a conversation and a panel, an educated conversation about these issues and the media’s probably not going to cover it. You do something dramatic, the media is going to cover

it. You get an audience.” Alana Bradley would agree, but she thinks it’s not necessarily a bad thing. As a fourth-year Feminist Studies major at UCSC, she has found the movement to be blossoming in completely new ways. “I think the youth are using their own potential to create activism, to create their own reality,” she says. “I think there’s a recognition that until everybody is free and everybody is truly equal— and not by law, but by practice—then nobody is free.” Yet, with the reliance on the Internet, more cooperation and action still needs to take place in order for real change to happen, says Bradley. Picketing on Pacific Avenue just doesn’t fulfill the same need it once did. “Folks who are truly affected by monetary and gendered inequality have to work eight hours a day to feed themselves. Those who are out protesting are taking a day of work or are students who don't have to work,” she says. “Folks who are able to protest and those who can’t need to come together and find a more nuanced and permanent way to affect change. I’m 21 years old, I don’t know what that answer is, but I think there are conversations going on that’ll start real solutions.” Bradley, who is active in organizations that don’t call themselves “feminist,” per se, says that movements can learn a lot from the Simontons and Crafts of history. “Communities need compassionate, motivated people,” she says. “Feminism, in the theory and the practice, is compassionate activism.” It’s a continuous fight, says Simonton: “The idea of a utopia, it’s never completely true.”

everybody’s a feminist. There’s a lack of real conversation that I think needs to take place.” Regarding sexuality, the messages are mixed. There’s nothing wrong with claiming your sexuality and being proud of that fact, she says, but when the picture of women as docile or hypersexual or both still pervade available media, it does far more damage than good. Wheareas some third-wave feminists would argue that certain definitions of sexism are outdated, Simonton is not a fan of media representations like the “Model of the Month” feature on local web site SantaCruzWaves.com, which has drawn criticism for featuring photographs of young local women in revealing swimwear and sometimes suggestive poses: “We see the men, in this example, reminding themselves they are the King Surfers and females are good as sex toys who we will let surf now and again.” But while such gender issues are just as contested as they were in the ’80s, taking to the streets has become far less popular.

She reminds us that most of the dramas we’ll ever experience come conveniently wrapped in day-to-day life: a baby is born, a loved one dies, we fall in love, we leave home, the crops come in, or they don’t.

shaped by the soil where our feet hit the ground. “I wanted the years to pass evenly,” Smiley says, “the way they pass in our lives. I wanted to talk about that in the lives of my characters, and I wanted their entire lives to be on display, passed through and thought about.” Novels remain Smiley’s first love, and she’s far more motivated by curiosity than the angst and drama or even creative pains that plague so many writers. “Every novel I’ve written has been about finding stuff out. I’m motivated much more by curiosity than by self-expression, and if that’s your goal, then maybe the process is more of a pleasure.” When speaking to writers, she celebrates workhorses like Charles Dickens and Balzac, who struggled to organize their thoughts and devoted countless hours to research and revision. When speaking to readers, she reminds us why novels are so important. “Most protagonists are neither all good nor all bad, so novel readers get in the habit of appreciating human complexity and withholding judgment until the entire story is told,” she says. In that spirit, I look forward to the next installment in this captivating trilogy, knowing that she understates her case. Her characters will challenge my judgments and stretch my imagination long past the time when their entire stories are told. Jane Smiley will read from her new novel “Some Luck” at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12; free.

“Some Luck” tracks the Langdon family over what will be the course of 100 years, and for Smiley, its rich farmland is the perfect place to begin their journey. “I feel like it’s going back to the center and saying, ‘OK, things come from here,’” she says. “This is where the roots are.” Time serves as conductor to this intimate yet sweeping symphony of family life, and sets its pace with a precision that gives structure to the changing fortunes of farming—and indeed, America—over the course of the last century. Each chapter covers one year, and the book itself travels just over 33 years, from the 1920s to 1953. The next two books will unfold in equal measures, ending in 2020. Smiley employs a wealth of her formidable gifts in this already widely praised novel—her innate feel for her characters, her detailed grasp of farm work, her ability to weave history into the mix of individual stories—but perhaps the greatest is her syncopated approach to the rhythms of daily life. She drops surprises and interruptions into the comings and goings of Walter and Rosanna Langdon, their five children, and many relatives, but always returns to the forward flow of time. She reminds us that most of the dramas we’ll ever experience come conveniently wrapped in day-to-day life: a baby is born, a loved one dies, we fall in love, we leave home, the crops come in, or they don't. Disasters happen near and far, but we are ultimately bound by sunrises and sunsets,

Sam Hernandez has literally thrown himself into the art at his retrospective exhibit at Cabrillo Gallery BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

S

am Hernandez has peed on his work. Apparently, it’s not an uncommon practice in certain artistic circles, and for Hernandez, perfecting the patina—the varnish or surface wear on an object—of his sculptures is absolutely critical. The Santa Cruz-based sculptor and painter, who served as the 2013 Silicon Valley Artist Laureate, explains that Picasso did the same, and that in fact, many artists put more than just their blood, sweat and tears into their work. “You develop a certain kind of personal patina. I’ve laid my baby teeth in a sculpture, hair—I’ve done a painting with blood,” he says.

Hernandez says it’s the patinas that give a piece depth—not to mention that urine creates a unique lacquer when it reacts with certain materials. In preparation for the Nov. 11 opening of his exhibit “Focus on the Object/ Selections: Two Decades” at the Cabrillo Gallery, however, Hernandez says he focused more on finding what is within the material rather than what’s on the surface. “I’m trying to leave a lot of the decision making to the object itself,” he says. “I’m doing a lot less contrivance—it’s more stream of conscious.” This Cabrillo exhibit will feature work from two decades of his life,

says Hernandez, who recently retired from a teaching position at Santa Clara University, where he worked for almost 40 years. Rose Sellery, program director at the Cabrillo Gallery, says that the beauty in Hernandez’s art comes from his inability to sit still—easily becoming bored has pushed him to create a litany of sculptures and paintings of which no two are alike. One large piece to be featured in the exhibit, for example, mimics the curves of classic Thonet café chairs, while other sculptures in the collection are huge and forceful in form, she says. “They have this grace to them,”

Sellery says of the Thonet chair piece. “But he also has these other sculptures that are strong, angular forms from old tree trunks or logs that are massive and dramatic, and have more of a sense of a sentry standing on guard. They have a power and a strength to them.” Hernandez draws from ancient Native America, Asian and African artistry—with his own twists, of course. “I think there’s always a slight sense of subtle humor, even though he’s drawing on these kind of iconic images,” says Sellery. As a teenager, Hernandez tinkered with hot rods, taking them apart and putting them back together, and he attributes much of his early work’s symmetrical nature to his experience refurbishing cars. Nowadays, he responds more to the natural and organic feeling of wood, however. Moving away from the perfectly proportional to monolithic sculptures of metal, wood and bronze has taken years of building on technical learning, he says. “A classical musician develops his skills, works on them and works on them, and he’ll stay a mediocre classical musician unless he can go beyond that practice. You’ve got to get the feeling in there,” he says. “Now I’ve gone more from the classical pianist to a jazz pianist, where I have the techniques, but I let the other stuff follow, the composition develops from the act itself.” Hernandez says that splitting his time between Spain and the Santa Cruz area has made it apparent how people in other countries view artistic professions as compared to the U.S. “It’s not an overwhelming embrace from a lot of communities to talk about artists. In Silicon Valley, there are some institutions, and here, but there are lot of places that don't honor artists—you know it’s necessary, but because we’re so desperate to do what we’re doing, we’re happy to take crumbs,” he says. “If you have a passion, then it’s not a hobby, it’s not something you do to kill time. It’s something that you have to do.” “Focus on the Object/Selections: Two Decades” runs Nov. 11-Dec. 17 at the Cabrillo Gallery, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos. There will be a reception 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13, free.

On ‘Guardsman’

T

here are a lot of things to think about when you’re running the only professional, year-round theater company in Santa Cruz. Especially at night, when you can’t sleep. Questions about your responsibility to your audience, whether you’re offering the best mix of material you possibly can. About how to survive at a time when ticket prices cover about half the cost of putting on a professional production, which makes donors essential. And of course, basic questions like “Why am I doing it?” “When I go to bed at night, I think that way,” admits Jewel Theatre founder and artistic

director Julie James. “All those things go through my head.” But when she gets up in the morning, James goes back to work at the independent theater company she has not only sustained, but grown steadily over the last nine years. Next year, Jewel will move into the Colligan Theater at the Tannery Arts Center, which broke ground on Sept. 30. When completed, the new theater will more than double the seating capacity the company now has at Center Stage, from 88 to 187. Meanwhile, the 2014-2015 Jewel season opened in September with George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan, and continues with Enter the Guardsman, a musical which runs Nov.

6-30, and is pretty much the polar opposite of the previous production in tone and content. The rest of the season is diverse as well—from Simon Stephens’ Harper Regan (Feb. 26-March 22 next year) to the world premiere of Santa Cruz playwright Kate Hawley’s Complications From a Fall, directed by Paul Whitworth (April 23-May 17) to Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind, directed by James herself (June 4-28). For James, building the Jewel Theatre company hasn’t just meant directing, acting and producing. For a long time, she was doing pretty much everything, with help from her friends and family. “I literally helped build the sets,” she remembers. “I did

the laundry after each show.” Those days are over, as the success of the company has allowed her to surround herself with people she trusts to bring the same passion that she has. “This is getting so big that it’s going to get out of hand if we don’t have more infrastructure,” she says. “It is hard to let go when you’ve been doing everything. That’s why it’s important who you’re giving it up to.” James says she never had any grand vision for a year-round theater company. “It just started with a show,” she says. “People responded to that first show. Really it’s the people coming to see us that drives this. It has its own momentum. It just keeps expanding.” But Art Manke, who is directing Enter the Guardsman, says she doesn’t give herself nearly enough credit. “Julie’s so smart in the way she’s built this company very carefully,” he says. Considering how James has navigated the craziness of the theatre business, it’s interesting that Guardsman, written by a creative team whose members all have connections to Santa Cruz (music by Craig Bohmler, lyrics by Marion Adler, book by Scott Wentworth) and based on the French play The Guardsman by Ferenc Molnar, is set in that very world. Centered around a pair of actors whose marriage is falling apart, and a love triangle that ensues, it draws on the public’s endless love affair with behind-the-scenes stories. “It speaks to the fascination with reality shows in general,” says Manke. “It holds a fascination for the audience, because they [normally] don’t get to see behind the curtain. And it’s great fun for all of us, because we don’t have to do any research, first of all.” James calls it “a smart musical,” and says its mix of witty lines and deeper subtext about relationships is a microcosm of the balance she tries to strike while choosing Jewel material—some heady, some lighter. “I really like great writing, really philosophical kinds of things interest me,” she says. “But every once in a while it’s like ‘well, you know, it’s just damn funny.’”

WHITE LINE FEVER Despite this visual evidence, the last thing Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors want to be is middle of the road.

NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Slow Burn

40

After a decade, Drew Holcomb and his band the Neighbors are finding their biggest success BY BRIAN PALMER

O

ne of the main reasons Drew Holcomb believes he’s been able to carve out a solid career for himself is that he never imagined he would. “When I first started doing the artist, touring, writing and recording thing, I was 21 or 22 years old,” says the singer, songwriter and guitarist for the Nashville-based rock group Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, which plays Don Quixote’s on Nov. 5. “I had a relatively healthy perspective on it, and thought the

odds were pretty long that it would actually become my career.” But lo and behold, 10 years later the band is more successful than ever. Early last year, Holcomb released his sixth album, Good Light, and it landed in the top half of Billboard’s Top 200 chart, peaked at #7 on iTunes’ overall chart and hit #1 on its Singer/ Songwriter chart. All of this despite being an independent artist without significant radio play. He and his band have called their own shots the whole way, and it’s paid off—even if it took a

while for that to happen. “The cost of doing it our own way is that it has taken a really long time, but I think the benefits far outweigh the costs, because we’ve never gotten burned out,” Holcomb says. “We’ve been able to set the pace, remember what our priorities are, take our time, and it’s definitely been gratifying.” The band will release its seventh studio album, Medicine, in January, and it’s clear the members are not growing tired of making music together. Holcomb’s vocals are as confident as ever on the easygoing

folk opener and first single “American Beauty,” and when his wife Ellie comes in with her typically rich, subtle harmonies on the swelling rocker “Tightrope,” it is a thing of beauty. “Last Thing We Do” is an ebullient piece of pop-rock, with driving guitars and drums and Nathan Dugger’s upbeat and playful piano, while the funky rock stomper “Sisters Brothers” showcases groovy licks, bunkerbusting percussion and Drew’s ability to sing with verve and swagger. If it sounds like they had one hell of a good time making this record, that’s because they did. “A lot of times recording can be a very painful, arduous process. It can become creatively numbing,” says Holcomb. “This one was the total opposite of that. We had a great time. I feel like that energy is going to come out when people hear the record.” Holcomb is driven by a desire to connect with his audience, and with the growth of that audience has come a new intensity within the band. “We’re more ambitious about the creative side of things now, since we’ve realized we have this opportunity to create something valuable because we have an audience,” he says. “So you feel more responsible to the audience, and less ambitious for your own ego. That’s really freed us up. Our records have gotten progressively better because our perspective has become more outward-focused and empathetic.” The group knows they have a chance to do something meaningful, and Holcomb believes in the power of music to move its audience profoundly. “I always say that sometimes music can tell you something you otherwise could never have articulated yourself,” he says. “That’s part of what drives me as an artist, to create things like that.” Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 5, at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Highway 9, Felton. Tickets are $12/advance, $14/door. For more information, call 603-2294.

The band’s collective creative streak is painted with a very colorful brush on their “Rogue River Fire” demo track, which can be heard on their Soundcloud page. With a faded intro that features Miller’s lively drumming, Nieburgs’s groovy guitar and bassist Dan Alexander’s molasses-thick bass, the first minute alone is a tasty mix of jazz, blues and good old-fashioned rock ’n’ roll. When the song really kicks in musically and Nieburgs takes over with an unhinged, primal vocal, it evolves into a left-of-center take on Americana and country. Within a span of five and a half minutes, this trio, which formed late last year, gives you a glimpse of how broad of a palette they are playing with. And this is just one song. When the band plays live, the rules pretty much go out the window. “For saying it’s just three guys, it’s a fairly complex sound,” Miller says of their music. “I’m all over the place with my grooves; Sam’s got some real gritty stuff coming out of his Telecaster, and then Dan adds a lot of stability to the mix. It’s like we’re pulling from three different directions, but it fits together pretty well.” BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 11/6 AVANT-GARDE

SECRET CHIEFS 3 The success of Mr. Bungle has paved the way for a lot of really bizarre offshoot projects from the band members. (Ever heard one of Mike Patton’s solo vocal-only records?) Guitarist Trey Spruance formed his own group, the Secret Chiefs 3, in 1995, and has released 10 studio albums. Other than Spruance, the lineup is constantly shifting, with people coming and going from a pool of about 50 musicians. The style shifts from surf, metal, Middle Eastern music, electronic, prog and math rock—but always instrumental, darkly mystical and avant-garde. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY 11/7 UKULELE/POP

UK UKULELE ORCHESTRA The United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra plays everything from the

Beatles to Monty Python, Mozart to Chick Corea, and they do it all with a typically British sense of humor. A daring, uproarious combination of the modern and the classical—and all done on ukuleles. What more can you ask for? BRIAN PALMER INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $23/general, $33/gold circle. 423-8209.

HIP-HOP

METHOD MAN + REDMAN Method Man got his start with the Wu-Tang Clan two decades ago, and in the years since has gone on to have a successful solo career, releasing multiple goldand platinum-selling records and singles. Redman is a two-time Grammy nominee whose work has landed on multiple Billboard charts. They’ve released two albums together, 1999’s platinum-selling Blackout! and it’s 2009 follow-up, Blackout! 2. BP INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $31-$75. 423-1338.

SATURDAY 11/8 LATIN BIG BAND

PACIFIC MAMBO ORCHESTRA Touted as the West Coast’s premiere Latin dance big band, Pacific Mambo Orchestra is a 19-piece high-energy sensation that brings to mind midcentury Latin big band favorites like Tito Puente, Machito and Celia Cruz. Playing mostly original arrangements of classic dance-floor-packing numbers, PMO has been voted “Best Band” in San Francisco newspaper polling, and even won a Grammy. Before the performance, local dance instructor Mario Avila will give Salsa dance lessons on the historic Cocoanut Grove Ballroom floor so you’ll know what you’re doing as you dance the night away. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8:30 p.m. Cocoanut Grove, 400 Beach St., Santa Cruz. $30/adv, $35/door. 423-2053.

SUNDAY 11/9 HIP-HOP

YELAWOLF As much as hip-hop has changed in the past decade, Yelawolf is still a unique figure in the genre, a heavily tattooed southern country boy with

a hometown twang, and a bluecollar swagger. He’s been releasing mixtapes since the mid 2000s, and has always straddled a line between underground rap (personal lyrics, quick wit, scattered flow) and attempts at commercial stardom. The gap between his two sides only grew on his 2010 major label debut (on Eminem’s Shady Records label). It felt like half the record was written for true hip-hop heads, and the rest for general club audiences. He’s yet to score a big hit, but has built a sizeable audience. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20-$75. 423-1338.

NEW ORLEANS

REBIRTH BRASS BAND New Orleans brass band music is about as funky as it gets. With thick layers of horns sending sounds of joy, exaltation and praise sky-high, and drums snapping out rhythms that can get even the most tightly wound among us swaying, this is music to move to. The Rebirth Brass Band, formed in 1983, is one of the most well-known of the New Orleans

brass bands, an institution in the Crescent City and beyond. CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 11/10 INDIE/FOLK

HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER An indie-folk duo comprising MC Taylor and Scott Hirsch, members of both the hardcore band Ex-Ignota and the San Francisco-based indie band the Court & Spark, Hiss Golden Messenger combines introspective and shadowy songwriting with gravel road mysticism. Rooted in tales of desperation, heartache, loss and redemption, the outfit shies away from technological trickery, Their latest release, Lateness of Dancers, is more polished and upbeat than previous offerings, but it still retains the dark and lovely honesty that has come to define Hiss Golden Messenger. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

INFO: Thursday-Sunday, Nov. 13-16. Various locations. $11-$60. santacruzfilmfestival.org. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the festival.

had a short initial run from 19771979. In that time, they played arguably one of the most famous punk shows, opening for the Sex Pistols in San Francisco at their infamous last show ever. The Avengers didn’t have that careerdefining LP during their existence, but a compilation record of their early recordings known as the Pink Album and released in 1983 is the next best thing. Their sound is typical of first-wave—loud, angry and driving—but singer Penelope Huston was a cut above as a political lyricist. The tune “The American in Me” is one of the best ’70s punk tunes, exploring the dangers of blind patriotism in a way that’s no less relevant more than 35 years later. AC

Started in 2001 by Jane Sullivan and Johnny Davis, the Santa Cruz Film Festival has a reputation for showing a diverse range of films, both featurelength and shorts, in unexpected locations—including local businesses, arts facilities, theatres, outdoor spots, coffee shops, museums and more. The film prides itself on showing the work of international filmmakers, as well as spotlighting local talent. This year’s festival features films from 14 countries, one world premiere (Oney Anwar: Chasing the Dream), two U.S. premieres (Invasion and Rail to Rail), and the award-winning documentaries Out in the Lineup, Beyond the Surface and Tierra de Patagones (above).

FILM

SLIDE INTO CHAOS Johannes Kuhnke and Lisa Loven Kongsli co-star in the cerebral French thriller ‘Force Majeure.’

Snow Plowed NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Human nature is tested by circumstance in the intriguing ‘Force Majeure’ BY LISA JENSEN

58

T

he French title of the Swedish film Force Majeure literally means “superior force,” as in a force of nature, or what we might call an act of God. It generally refers to an unexpected circumstance completely beyond human control, most often a natural disaster like an earthquake or tsunami. But it’s used ironically in this cerebral thriller, where the drama hinges not on a natural disaster, but the split-second response of oh-sofallible humans in its path. Directed by Ruben Östlund, and already Sweden’s official Foreign Language entry for the 2015 Academy Awards, the film tells a simpleseeming story about a young family on a skiing vacation in the French Alps. The father, Tomas (Johannes

Kuhnke), works too hard, as his wife, Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli) tells another tourist at their swanky resort hotel, high in the snowy mountains. So they’ve packed up their two young children, Vera and little Harry (Clara and Vincent Wettergren) for five days of relaxation and family time. All goes well the first day; the kids are happy enough to forego their tablet and phone games to tromp around in the snow, and the family begins to unwind together. On the second day, while the family is having lunch on the restaurant balcony, overlooking a spectacular view, the snowpack on the nearest mountain begins to move. Tomas assures them all not to worry, it’s a “controlled” avalanche. (And what does it say about our times and priorities that,

in the face of a potential avalanche, controlled or otherwise, the first thing people do is whip out their phones and take pictures?) In a brilliant sequence, the viewers (like the characters) experience complete white-out onscreen for a couple of minutes in real time, when nothing can be seen, and all that can be heard are distant, random voices. It’s not giving too much away to reveal that the resort is not entirely engulfed, and the movie continues on from this point. But damage that may prove to be irreparable has been done to Tomas and Ebba’s family unit, and to their relationship. Over the next couple of days, first Ebba, then Tomas, go off on solo ski runs apart from the rest of the family. Ebba starts drinking too

much in the evenings and telling her version of what happened to anyone who will listen, sowing discomfort among their new acquaintances. At first, Tomas disagrees with her opinion, then he sullenly refuses to respond at all. The children get so fed up they shout their parents out of their hotel suite one night. But while some viewers will find it irritating that the movie, like Ebba, keeps getting stuck on this one point and won’t move on, there’s a lot more happening here than you might think. Filmmaker Östlund’s design is fascinating in the way Ebba’s story soon becomes a litmus test for gender, family, and even age issues among all who hear it, including the audience. It may surprise you how the person sitting next to you perceives events in the film. It certainly causes exponential aftershocks between a couple of Tomas and Ebba’s friends who join them on holiday (Kristofer Hivju and Fanni Metelius). While he tries to play peacemaker and put the incident into philosophical perspective, his much-younger girlfriend, teasingly but acutely calls him out on his self-deluding stance; if his first priority is family, she says, “why are your kids with your ex, and you’re here with a 20-year-old?” Meanwhile, Östlund amps up the sense of eerie intensity with long, panoramic shots of the implacable mountains at night, or at dawn. These are often accompanied by muted, yet unsettling booms, chugging snowplow engines, and hissing steam, the sounds of puny man made technology determined to impose order on wild nature. If only human nature were as easy to control. An interlude with Tomas drinking and shrieking in the bar with a bunch of party animals is fairly pointless, considering how long it goes on. And I didn’t buy a sequence when a tour bus strands its cargo of tourists by the roadside. But overall, it’s a provocative story with a neat, twisty finale that suggests no one is immune to human frailty. FORCE MAJEURE *** (out of four) With Johannes Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, and Kristofer Hivju. Written and directed by Ruben Östlund. A Magnolia release. Rated R. 118 minutes. In Swedish with English subtitles.

(Not rated) 87 minutes. BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP Short-term memory loss was played as romantic comedy in 50 First Dates. Now it’s the basis of this thriller about a woman (Nicole Kidman) who faces each new day with no memory trying to figure out if her doctor (Mark Strong) and her husband (Colin Firth) are who they say they are. Adapted from the S.J. Watson bestseller and directed by Rowan Joffe. (R) 92 minutes.

BIRDMAN or THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE Michael Keaton is inspired casting for this black comedy about a movie actor once famed for playing an onscreen superhero trying to reinvent his career

(R) 119 minutes. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE Four black students at an Ivy League college find themselves in the middle of a controversy when a white fraternity stages an African-American theme party in this cross-cultural satire written and directed by Justin Simien. Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, and Brandon P Bell head the cast. (R) 100 minutes. HORNS It’s always fun to watch Daniel Radcliffe shed his Harry Potter persona, and I bought into the first third or so of this horror thriller. Radcliffe offers up some intense, sardonic moments as the misfit protagonist, suspected of the brutal murder of his girlfriend, who wakes one day with ram’s horns sprouting from his head, and the gift of eliciting the truth (however tawdry), which sets him on a hunt for the real killer. There’s a subversive, black-comedy kick to the way he starts giving people permission to act on their favorite deadly sins. But Alexandre Aja’s film soon crosses the fine line between devilish social satire and ham-fisted, cheesy excess, and it finally crumbles under its own heavy-handed good/ evil symbolism and overall nastiness. (R) 120 minutes. (**)—Lisa Jensen. JOHN WICK Keanu Reeves stars in a new incarnation of that classic Hollywood action protagonist, the exhit man who comes out of retirement to take revenge on the evildoers who done him wrong. Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, and Adrianne Palicki co-star for co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski. (R) 96 minutes. THE JUDGE Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall have ample opportunity to chew up the scenery and each other in this courtroom drama about a big city lawyer who returns to the family home to defend his father, the town judge, from a charge of murder.Vera Farmiga and Billy Bob Thornton co-star for director David Dobkin. (R) 141 minutes. NIGHTCRAWLER Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this thriller as a guy trying to

survive in Los Angeles who gets sucked into the underworld of freelance crime journalism, chasing stories of car wrecks, fires, murder and mayhem while the city sleeps. Rene Russo, Bill; Paxton, and Riz Ahmed co-star for director Dan Gilroy. (R) 117 minutes. PRIDE A clutch of hip young gay and lesbian activists from London and the working-class denizens of a remote Welsh coal-mining village made history together with an audacious show of solidarity during Britain’s lengthy Mineworkers Strike of 1984. Now their story is dramatized with plenty of heart, humor, and verve in this crowd-pleasing valentine to diversity from director Matthew Warchus. Ben Schnetzer is solid as real-life activist Mark Ashton. (R) 120 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. ST. VINCENT Writer-director Theodore Melfi is counting on Bill Murray’s aging hipster persona to do most of the heavy lifting in this heartstring-tugging comedy about a young boy who adopts the misanthropic old geezer next door as his mentor and life coach. Murray does an admirable job in the role, but Melfi’s material doesn’t offer enough support. The comedy isn’t always funny enough to sustain our interest, and without the balance of strong humor, the anarchic fizz of Murray’s appeal curdles into mean-spirited surliness. Sentimental elements tend to be canned and predictable in a film that never quite hits its marks, despite a few genuinely funny and affecting moments from Murray and co-stars Melissa McCarthy and Chris O’Dowd. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. THE TALE OF THE PRINCESS KAGUYA This new offering from Studio Ghibli, directed by co-founder Isao Takahata, features beautiful hand-drawn animation in adapting an ancient Japanese folktale. The story concerns a tiny baby girl born out of a bamboo stalk growing into a beautiful and mysterious young woman who turns out to be an exile from the Kingdom of the Moon. Chloë Grace Moretz, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, and Lucy Liu head the voice cast. (PG) 137 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK of those plump trapezoidal cuts that is popped into a very hot oven so that the skin turns to a golden crisp crust. The tender fish topped an aromatic sauté of root veggies, including turnips and carrots, plus tiny florets of romanesco and cauliflower. Majorly delicious. Rita’s duck might have arrived a bit less moist than I like, but it involved the same radiant autumnal vegetable accompaniments.

WINE OF THE WEEK

My friend Rita reminded me why it’s a great idea to revisit old favorite lunch spots on a regular basis. We met for lunch last week at Ristorante Avanti and enjoyed yet another way of putting the deeply satisfying flavors of autumn on show. She always leans toward the rich duck breast, but I ordered a spectacular entree of roast wild halibut—one

Beauregard Vineyards Bald Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay Reserve 2013 is crisp, minerally, and laced with a complex balance of earthy, citrusy (Meyer lemon?) tones. This beautiful creation is substantial yet leans toward Chablis. Not an oaky cliché, it shows off the terroir of the AVA’s northern edges to fine effect. Should be available very soon. Watch the skies!

The Week That Was

Looking back at Restaurant Week with Gabriella Cafe, plus autumn lunch at Avanti and more BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

t’s always a pleasure to spend an autumn lunchtime in the inviting dining room at Gabriella Cafe, where three of us held an Art Research Office business and pleasure meeting on the final day of Santa Cruz Restaurant Week, which owner Paul Cocking described as “insanely busy.” Of course it was, with seasonal inventions such as our dishes—which started with a crisp salad of young romaine, liberally garnished with rings of squash, purple onion, radish, cuke and tomato in a vibrant balsamic vinaigrette. Our main courses included the day’s risotto creation of squid, prawns, Romano beans and broccoli. It was sensuous,

comforting, and balanced in terms of flavors and textures, and I stuffed myself without regrets. The fresh fish of the day entrée was a perfect orchestration of panko-crusted trout filet topped with puttanesca flavors of capers, garlic, kalamata olives, and red peppers. The sweet and tender trout was succulent, yet—thanks to the feather-light panko—crisp. On the side, a buoyant cloud of creamy polenta, accompanied by more of the day’s seasonal veggies—long Romano beans and fat florets of broccoli and green squash. Flavors like these make the “work” of a business meeting a whole lot more fun. How we passed up the

chance to dessert on homemade panna cotta I’ll never know, but we did inhale some expertly-made espressos before we wrenched ourselves away from the sunny, relaxing dining room.

Companion Bakeshop, home of breads so toothsome, so texturally sublime that they give carbs a good name, now has its 2014 Holiday Order Forms front and center at the Mission Street shop. Like many of you, we are officially addicted to every variation of the house sourdough rounds, as well as the incomparable pumpkin tea cakes and the almond biscotti. On the Order Form you check off what you’ll need for Thanksgiving dinner—sourdough croutons, breads, tea cakes, that kind of thing—pay when you place your order and then indicate date of pick-up. Also consider the Bakeshop’s archetypal pies—allbutter crust, local whole-wheat flour (even a gluten-free crust is available for an additional $3) in flavors like pumpkin, Meyer lemon-buttermilk, pecan bourbon, classic apple, and others, $22-$30. Pick-up your order on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at Companion Bakeshop by 4 p.m. Or on Wednesday, Nov. 26, you can pick up at the bakeshop, the Farmers Market, or Penny Ice Creamery. Companion is located at 2341 Mission St., Santa Cruz. 252-2253

roduced and bottled by Morgan Winery in Salinas, this very flexible Sauvignon Blanc 2013 goes well with many kinds of fare, especially seafood. This is a lively and sassy white wine, with aromas of mango, banana and cantaloupe that will transport you straight to the tropics—not to mention the ripe fruit flavors of nectarine, citrus and pineapple that bring to mind Carmen Miranda. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Albarino, the flavors of these three varietals make up the wine’s intriguing flavors. And according to the winemakers, “neutral oak aging lightly accents the bright acidity and adds an elegant texture.� I think it’s a good match for spicy cuisine because of its lively, bright acidity. This delightful white wine can be found on most supermarket shelves and in many restaurants all over town. With a price point of around $17, it’s a very popular seller. Winery owner Dan Morgan Lee and winemaker Gianni Abate certainly know their stuff—they are turning out some excellent wines these days, including Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah, Pinot Noir and others. Morgan Winery participates in many events, including the Big Sur Food and Wine Grand Public Tasting from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8; and Thank You Days on Nov. 22 and 23, when customers get 15 percent off all wines, plus samples of the latest releases. Morgan Winery’s tasting room is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at 204 Crossroads Blvd., Carmel. 831-6263700, morganwinery.com.

TANNERY TUESDAYS AT LAILI When you dine at Laili on a Tuesday from now through December, 10 percent of your lunch and dinner bill goes to support building a Performing Arts Center at the Tannery for drama, dance and music. So, just think, the more dessert you order, the more money goes toward this worthwhile project. And Laili’s Mediterranean/Middle East/Afghan cuisine is mouth-wateringly good.

If you missed the Grand Pro Tasting and Wine Harvest Dinner at the Sesnon House on Oct. 17—a Bacchanalian feast with an abundance of wine and a cornucopia of superbly prepared food—then be sure to put Premier Cruz on your calendar.

Midtown Café Ever wondered where Santa Cruz’s Midtown really is? BY AARON CARNES

A

re you wondering if Santa Cruz’s Midtown district has an easygoing café with good quality food and a chill back patio? Indeed, the Midtown Café, which opened in January, fits that exact description. Did you even know Santa Cruz has a Midtown? Read on, as owner Zac Creager explains what this often-vaguely-referenced district actually consists of, and how his café is serving it with a simple, yet eclectic menu.

Why do you not publicize your phone number? People all the time come in and say, “I want to put a phone order in.” That’s not the style of the café that I want to have. It might be damaging to our

You incorporate some interesting global elements—Chimichurri sauce, nutella, chai, polenta. I spent a lot of time in Argentina and Chile. I was a mountain guide in Patagonia for four years. That’s where the chimichurri sauce came from— it’s a popular salsa there. For Nutella, my mother is French. I grew up with nutella on the table. It’s like peanut butter is to Americans. Nutella toast, it’s a little comfort food. I thought it would be fun to throw that in there. I think polenta is such a great, hearty version of oatmeal. Our chai—I would say chai is pretty standard with coffee shops, but I’m using Bhakti Chai, which is not as local as we want to be, but sometimes you have to make that sacrifice because Bhakti, there’s no chai around that even compares.

For those who don’t know, where exactly is Santa Cruz’s Midtown? ZAC CREAGER: I’ve always recognized Midtown as the Rio Theater, Charlie Hong Kong, the Crepe Place—probably to the Buttery, going down to Broadway, over towards Seabright. Something like that. It [is] a symbol of what we represent. Midtown Café is a pretty casual stop. We’re not trying to be pretentious at all. We’re just trying to be a coffee shop where people can hang out and have some good food.

business a little bit, but I wouldn’t call a coffee shop and order a coffee ahead of time. Just come in, that’s my attitude. When the phone’s ringing all day, it drives your customers insane. Those who really need to be in contact with me for business have my personal phone number. We just want a nice comfortable environment for people.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SCORPIO, DOING NO HARM: AHIMSA

Esoteric Astrology as news for week Nov. 5 - 11, 2014 Thursday is full moon, Scorpio solar festival. The focus is on the Scorpio keynote, “Warriors we are, and from the battles we emerge triumphant.” We (humanity) are Hercules, the warrior/world disciple, battling the nine-headed Hydra—the Nine Scorpio Tests, the nine tests of the personality; three for each level: physical, emotional, lower mental. The tests discern if we are strong enough to stand with the forces of light battling the forces of darkness. One of the mental tests of Scorpio is cruelty. The spiritual ruler of Scorpio is Mercury. Mercury (now in Libra, right human relations) reminds us to “do no harm” (ahimsa), to not be cruel, to tend to our thoughts and language with tender care. During Scorpio we become resourceful, determined, fearless, intuitive, darkly witty, investigative and profound, with desires secret and mysterious. We may go into hiding,

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 Everything in the introduction applies to everyone, but especially to you. It’s possible you’re not aware of your behaviors, hidden from you. Mercury in Scorpio will soon move through your natural Scorpio house. Read the above carefully, underline what’s interesting to you and make intentions to observe yourself within these contexts. Know you become a Scorpio for a while, a good experience. Scorpio gives you needed depth.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You move into full strategic mode, seeking all ways to transform and reorient your environment and yourself. Resources are assessed and you wisely use, disperse, share, rearrange and then multiply them over and over. Saturn in Scorpio is in your house of partners, relationships and intimacy. Something changes there. Tend to your health carefully. Water, sleep, vitamins, green drinks, sunshine, prayer.

GEMINI May22–June20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Are you nurturing others in the family? Are you able to tend and care for yourself? Where do you belong and what is the present state of where you live? What is your creative outlet? Do you have one and is that being nurtured? Many in-depth questions must be asked so a new state of creativity can come about. As you seek a true sense of purpose, have the intention to become organized in all areas of your life. Intention leads the way.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You will recognize how deeply your mind is influenced by emotional patterns created when just a child. This has allowed you to develop great imagination, intuition and a reservoir of knowledge unequalled by most. This is good until you become too introverted (gloomy). Here you dream and build castles in the air. You’re like Persephone, but eating apples instead of pomegranates. Invite others to eat apples with you. Make an apple rhubarb pie.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 There is such a great aspiration to fix things, to help and to heal others, to serve, to offer assistance and to provide necessary information when things go awry. All thoughts during Scorpio’s month turn inward. Create a secret room or sanctuary, fashion a secret garden with a secret door.

It’s good to actually manifest these, making them a goal for the coming year. What would they look like and hold?

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Participation in various artforms elevates concentration and stimulates imagination. Sociability, music, friendship and affection are linked to your spirituality. As leader among your friends, inviting them to participate with you in these endeavors would enliven their minds, open their hearts, and expand their vision and futures. Then all your friendships deepen. Try not to be terribly irritable.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In the weeks to come you will shift and change, becoming quick-witted and decisive, outgoing, talkative and ideaoriented. This lasts for just a bit of time, so take advantage of it. Participate only in groups that inspire, grow food, garden and build true community. You may travel a bit to explore realities not often available. You’ll bring home what you learned. Share it with everyone. Then begin to build.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 The days find you very sensitive, intuitive, imaginative. Selfconfidence slips into hiding. You find and feel your way into different realms that don’t include reasoning out reality. Your internal self is very powerful, calling you to music, art and poetry. Not necessarily to your usual skills, but to others, in order to prepare for later, more expansive and unrestrained creations. You’re being retrained in hidden areas. Remain in seclusion.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Maintain your directness of communication and truth-telling. Know that what you seek is what everyone needs, but you must bring it into the light. You’re the builder. Perhaps you’re not aware of your position of authority. The climbing of that ladder occurred due to your intellectual capacities, along with your ability to observe, assess, and most importantly, lead with love. Your chosen field is yet to come, but it’s very close by. Stay poised wherever you are.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 The next weeks will reveal to you different innate abilities than known before. You will become practical, organized, reasoned, and surprisingly patient. Most important for you is learning something new while traveling which creates new values. A wound appears, then, through right values, heals. You will think of the many ways and paths toward success. You might need some stronger shoes for that endeavor.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You speak and seek honesty, and experience shock when the opposite appears. You will change a lot, studying multiple subjects and groups, yet not staying too long with one. You speak the truth in a neutral tone, conveying difficult information. This is a sign of authority, rightly placed, with mind and heart balanced. Whatever you choose, there is success. You must call in strength to withstand being different. Your values change, too.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014

Your early life, its ups and down and the reality of your early family life surface. Perhaps there was much conflict and chaos within as a child as you attempted to balance and understanding life in the midst of seeming disorder. Do you remember any good messages? Understand early lives condition adult lives till we reorient from the solar plexus to the heart. This is our job and everyone’s task. It’s the art of review, and then forgiveness.

display suspicion and skepticism, stubbornness, determination, and we are often emotionally on edge. Scorpio presents an interesting mix of depth psychology. Research is best during Scorpio, seeking the heart of all matters. When we find what we’re searching for, we “capture” it and make it our own. Our intelligence becomes highly instinctive; we strategize. There’s a warning in Scorpio, that we do not criticize, judge, opinionate, insinuate or be vindictive. We will challenge others and be challenged in return. Intrigue, hidden motives, and mysteries may appear. We must discern between reality and mental illusions. Ruling Scorpio (sign of power, passion and intensity), Mercury reminds us communication can either create or destroy another. We remember Elvis’ (Jupiter in Scorpio) song “Don’t be Cruel.” We do no harm (ahimsa).
