Uitwaaien is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it's exhilarating. I don't know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it, or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it's such nonsensical fun, or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension. But in the coming weeks, you don't need to describe or explain experiences like this; you just need to do them. Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play.

Rent, but don't buy yet. That's my $250-per-hour advice. Keep rehearsing, but don't start performing the actual show. OK? Flirt, but don't fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control? Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don't try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don't insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Your nasty, nagging little demon isn't nasty or nagging any more. It's not doing what demons are supposed to do. It's confused, haggard, and ineffective. I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here's what I suggest: Now, when the demon's strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, non-reversible exorcism. Buy it a one-way bus ticket to the wasteland and say goodbye forever.

When he was in his fifties, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success. He used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history. "I planted my water lilies for pleasure," he said. "I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond." I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar, Gemini: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 "Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love," said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It's a fundamental human problem, so there's no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself. Having said that, I'm happy to report that you now have the necessary power to overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. It's time to disappear the fear.

Do you ever feel reverence and awe, Leo? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility, and gratitude? The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A lot has happened since you were . . . uh . . . indisposed. You've missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again, and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting, and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action? Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don't try to return too early. Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The Guerrilla Girls are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world. Every so often they take a "weenie count" at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that five percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that four percent of the artists were female, but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere, Scorpio. Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities, and to initiate corrective action.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The English term "engine" refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power. But its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as "inborn talent." I'd like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your "engine" is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you'd love to wield.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 What I'm about to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don't need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you? Yes, but only if you meet two conditions. The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 If you were a four-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stirfried organic vegetables and a plate full of chocolate coconut macaroons, you'd probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were four years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world's greatest astrologer, you'd also opt for the cookies. But since you're a grownup, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and long-lasting pleasure. Right?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected! Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore's performance in your own sphere. Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original.

doing is. It is so necessary for me to be out there as an African-American man promoting peace and compassion. What I don’t understand is why I get so many tickets for playing “What the World Needs Now is Love” too loud. I do this in order to get people’s attention. This is how I collect donated items, food, clothes, building materials, to deliver to the reservations in the USA. I have a burning desire in my heart to give back to the Native American people because of what I saw there; dirt floors, outhouses, carrying water just like they did in the old days. Nothing has changed. Also, my awareness is how much discrimination still exists so strongly. This is

the issue I think needs to be addressed at City Council. I am trying to work with the city officials. What I am doing is working and I am feeling sad and driven because the police keep giving me tickets when all I am trying to do is promote peace, love and understanding. I am a landscaper and I plant seeds for beauty and create joy and peaceful gatherings. I respect the officer’s job, but do you have to be so rigid as to not see the community response to the work I am doing downtown? I would like to work with the authorities promoting peace and compassion. Can we be on the same side? CURTIS RELIFORD | FOLLOW YOUR HEART ACTION NETWORK (DRIVER OF THE RED PEACE TRAIN)

A BLOW TO THE NAYSAYERS Sorry, grandma, but chewing gum is not such a bad habit after all.

Chew on This Why gum can actually be good for you

mind. Dentists approve of the stuff, too: “Clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent tooth decay,” according to the American Dental Association (ADA). But let’s rewind a bit: when and where did the illogical human behavior of chewing non-food items begin? While it’s often thought of as a modern habit, there is evidence that chewing gum dates back thousands of years, and across many cultures. Ancient Europeans, Greeks, Aztecs, Mayans, and American Indians all had their own versions of chewing gum. These primordial gums were often made of tree barks, saps, and resins. Modern gum burst onto the scene in the 1860s as “chicle” in

Mexico, and a hundred years later scientists figured out how to make synthetic gum bases, which were essentially forms of plastic. And the gum available in today’s supermarket checkout line is nothing more than artificially sweetened and flavored rubber. Tastes better than it sounds, huh? Given its extensive historical use, chewing gum is hardly a new phenomenon—and it’s possible that ancient chewers may have been even more aware of gum’s health benefits than we are. The first and most obvious benefit of chewing gum is its effect on oral health—which is often a good indicator of overall physical health. Chewing gum can keep your mouth kissably clean and healthy because it stimulates the production

ake that gum out of your mouth!” my loving but vociferous Italian grandmother (is there any other kind?) told my five-yearold self. “It’s a dirty habit!” But despite the adult warnings that gum would stay in my stomach for seven years if I swallowed it, and despite my grandmother’s chidings, chomping on gum is a habit I never abandoned. To this day, my OCD does not even allow me out of the house without a pack of gum. After some investigation of the habit, I realized that although my grandmother wasn’t wrong about much, she had missed the mark on this one. As it turns out, chewing gum can provide a myriad of health benefits for not only the mouth, but also the

and release of saliva, which can be thought of as the body’s personal on-call dentist. Saliva breaks down and washes away food particles, acids, and harmful bacteria that can cause cavities, tooth and enamel decay, and bad breath. Chewing gum can also help with digestion. The physical act of chewing triggers the secretion of stomach acids that help break down food into nutrients, leading to easier and more complete digestion. Because of this, chewing gum is also a helpful treatment of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease, aka acid reflux), a common condition among Americans in which stomach acids travel up from the stomach into the throat area during digestion, causing pain, burning and discomfort. A study published in the Journal of Dental Research in 2005 found that chewing sugarless gum for 30 minutes following a meal can reduce acid reflux. This may be due to an increase in the swallowing rate as well as saliva flow down into the stomach, which may help wash away and neutralize harmful stomach acids. Beyond the bountiful and bubbly benefits that bits of gum bring to the body, even more surprising are the effects it may have on the brain. A study published in the research journal Appetite in 2011 found that chewing gum increased performance on a variety of cognitive tasks for about 15-20 minutes after chewing. In addition to boosting memory and logic skills, any mild exercise such as chewing gum has been shown to increase alertness, heart rate and even elevate mood. But to be fair to grandmas everywhere, there are a few potential adverse effects to the habit: Chewing gum can lead to gas, bloating and indigestion, as well as the painful jaw condition known as TMJ. It also often contains controversial artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose that may cause health problems—so check the labels carefully. As for the urban myth that swallowed gum stays in your system for seven years, it probably originated as a childhood scare tactic—and like most other urban myths, it’s not true.

NEWS MAGNET TOWN New study challenges conventional wisdom about homelessness in Santa Cruz BY PATRICK DWIRE

APRIL 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

[Editor’s Note: This is the second part of a two-part series on homelessness. Part one ran last week.]

12

A new study finds most homeless people come to Santa Cruz for the same reasons as those with homes—for the excellent climate, the beaches, the open spaces, and the tolerant, progressive culture. Contrary to what many consider the “magnet effect” that Santa Cruz has for attracting the homeless, most of them do not come here for benefits, free food or shelter. These are some of the findings of the recent study conducted by UCSC Community Studies, Sociology, and Psychology departments, in partnership with the local community engagement firm Civinomics. The results of the study, due to be released next month, challenges much of the long-held conventional wisdom about homelessness in Santa Cruz, and is likely to spark controversy on both sides of the issue. One widely referenced statistic from the “2013 Point-in-Time (PIT) Santa Cruz County Homeless Census and Survey” is that 72 percent of the 369 homeless people surveyed across the county reported they were housed in Santa Cruz County before becoming homeless. Responding to more specific questions in the UCSC/Civinomics survey, within the City of Santa Cruz, only 38 percent of 101 homeless people reported Santa Cruz as their hometown. Perhaps most striking, of 62 homeless persons who did not identify Santa Cruz as their hometown, 41 of them, or 68 percent, were homeless when they arrived in Santa Cruz. The UCSC/Civinomics homeless study is one of the first of its kind to investigate and compare what residents and homeless think the causes and solutions to homelessness are, says Robert Singleton, one of the founders of Civinomics, which spearheads an Internet-based approach to public opinion polling. Singleton also says he was impressed that responses from the two groups were surprisingly consistent. According to Singleton, one of the most interesting results is the marked difference from roughly one-third “homeless when they arrived” throughout the county, according to the 2013 PIT Survey, to two-thirds “homeless when they arrived” in the City of Santa Cruz reported in the UCSC/Civinomics survey. >16

A drop of good news about local water won’t be enough to offset a long drought BY MATTHEW RENDA

A

s California struggles through its worst drought ever and Gov. Jerry Brown has mandated 25 percent water cuts for everyone, the situation in Santa Cruz is better than you might expect. The county’s main reservoir, Loch Lomond, had a water level of 577 feet, or 82 percent of capacity, as of last week—a decidedly positive outlook compared to the rest of the Golden State’s mostly parched reservoirs. (Lake McClure in Merced County stands at 8 percent of capacity, representing the worst, while the major California reservoir in the best shape is Bullards Bar in Yuba County at 61 percent.) “It’s really good considering how little rainfall we’ve received,” says Eileen Cross, spokeswoman with

the Santa Cruz Water Department. “[Reservoir capacity] is higher than it ever was last year.” In late March of last year, Loch Lomond was at 67 percent. The city water department took advantage of November and December’s heavy rains and pumped surface water from the San Lorenzo River into the loch (the Gaelic word for lake.) Located northeast of Ben Lomond, Loch Lomond can hold 2.8 billion gallons. Santa Cruz receives only about 5 percent of its water from ground wells. The San Lorenzo River supplies most of what eventually flows into sinks, showers and hoses. In the winter, when the water flow is more robust, the river handles most of the city’s water needs, diverting the

excess into the loch. In the summer, when hardly any precipitation falls on Santa Cruz and most of the water in the San Lorenzo watershed is kept in the river to provide habitat conditions for fish, the city relies on Loch Lomond for its supply. During the 2014-15 water year, which began in October, Santa Cruz received about 20 inches of rain, which is less than the average of 26 inches. However, the November/December deluge threw the city a life raft. “We had about 150 percent of normal rainfall in November and December,” says Eileen Cross. “We pumped water from the river up to the reservoir for a record number of days.” Last summer, the city implemented a “Stage 3” water rationing program that charged water >14

customers exorbitant rates if they exceeded about 64 gallons per person per day, resulting in significant conservation. Users cut water use from the normal average of 10-12 million gallons a day to 6-7 million. Meanwhile, the rest of California is increasingly imperiled by the dearth of rainfall for four consecutive years, and the strain is starting to show. Gov. Brown announced a $1 billion drought relief package on March 19, as water content in the Sierra snowpack was only 9 percent of normal. NASA scientist Jay Famiglietti says the state has about one year left of its groundwater supply. The Lake Oroville Reservoir—the main water source for the California Water Project, which supplies a broad swath of the state with both drinking and agricultural water—stands at 50 percent. “We cannot stress enough that water conservation will be critical in stretching our supplies to the maximum extent possible throughout

the coming year,” says California Department of Water Resources Director Mark Cowin. However, the near-term success in Santa Cruz’s water conservation has not completely allayed concerns about the future of the city’s water. “There are pros and cons of being shut off from the rest of California,” Cross says. “This year, the rest of California is in worse shape than we are. But they don’t rely on 100 percent of local rainfall. Look at San Jose. They have a diverse portfolio of water supply, with groundwater sources, three reservoirs and the Silicon Valley Water Purification Center.” But in Santa Cruz, if it does not rain, there is no water. “Our reservoir is very small, it doesn’t have five, six, seven or 12 years of storage like some of the other reservoirs in the state,” says City of Santa Cruz Water Director Rosemary Menard. “We don’t know what is going to happen with this drought. Some people are saying it’s going to

be a mega-drought, so we need to be conservative.” Santa Cruz has to think forward about solutions should the drought persist, says Cross. That’s where the Santa Cruz Water Supply Advisory Committee comes in. A consortium of water experts, public officials, business owners, and interested citizens, the group began meeting in April 2014 to address issues relating to water supply and reliability problems facing the city. After meeting for nearly a year to work out the parameters and criteria of how to analyze the problem and formulate potential solutions, the committee finally assessed where the rubber meets the road on Friday, March 20. “That meeting was the first exercise with future scenarios, so it represented the sort of apotheosis of our process,” says committee member Doug Engfer. “I think it was a goosebumps moment for all of us.” Specifically, Engfer and his >18

On March 24 the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors voted to ban the cultivation of medicinal marijuana for commercial grows, elating some and bumming out others. The 3-5 decision took effect on March 30, but patients and caregivers may still grow 10 by 10 square feet for personal use—the largest allotment in the state. Similar measures have been passed in other weed-friendly counties, such as Butte and Shasta, forcing commercial and industrial growers—legal or otherwise—to find safer havens. In the last six months, the number of known illegal sites in Santa Cruz County rose 58 percent, with unintended consequences. According to an op-ed piece in the Sentinel by Santa Cruz Supervisor Bruce McPherson—who voted for the ban—“neighboring residents were

impacted by smells, generator noise, bright growing lights, traffic and crime.” However, with potential state legalization measures already in the works for the 2016 ballot, many question whether the county’s decision is more reactionary than progressive. “With potential legalization, if we don’t provide a way for the crop to be grown—ideally agricultural districts with appropriate setbacks—we’ll just be pushing ourselves back to even more illegal grows,” says Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, who voted against the ban along with Supervisor John Leopold. “We all agreed there was a problem [under the old ordinance], there was just a little disagreement on how to fix that problem.” “The outright ban on the cultivation of commercial grows puts a lot of people on the wrong side of the law, people who have invested a lot of time and energy

into their community and who have otherwise been completely compliant,” says Bryce Berryessa of the Association for Standardized Cannabis. “Having only 10 by 10 square feet to operate restricts the availability to have a robust and bio-diverse stockpile of medicine in the county.” Cannabis proponents hope to continue working with the Board of Supervisors to lift the ban and implement more inclusive, regulated laws—a view that is shared with Supervisor Coonerty. “I hope we continue to discuss it. [With potential legalization] we’re still going to have commercial and personal growers that impact rural neighborhoods. So, I hope we do and I hope we do it properly,” says Coonerty. MAT WEIR

HOME FRONT A new study from UCSC and Civinomics reveals that Santa Cruz residents understand the complexity of homelessness in Santa Cruz.

APRIL 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

MAGNET TOWN <12

Singleton explains that given the often polarized debate about the causes and effects of homelessness in the community, the survey results are “collectively, a very nuanced and well-informed perspective about the issue of homelessness in the community that is very surprising and very positive.” “You would think the levels of complexity surrounding this issue wouldn’t necessarily permeate the collective consciousness of the community, but it has,” says Singleton of the resident responses to the 33-question UCSC/Civinomics survey.The responses of 394 city residents, randomly selected from an address list of city households, reflect genuine concern about homelessness as a critical public health and public safety issue, as well as an understanding of the diverse causes of homelessness. On critical questions regarding the number of “local homeless” versus “nonlocal homeless” and the “magnet effect” that Santa Cruz may appear to have on attracting homeless from other areas, residents were surprisingly aligned with responses of the homeless themselves.

The perception of Santa Cruz residents on the percentage of local, “homegrown” homelessness is closer to the UCSC/ Civinomics data than the 2013 PIT Homeless Survey. In response to the question “In your opinion, what percentage of homeless people came from outside of Santa Cruz County?” well over half of city residents who responded believe the majority of homeless come to Santa Cruz from elsewhere. This question of local versus nonlocal homelessness is for many at the heart of arguments over how “compassionate” Santa Cruz should be toward them—and whether that compassion could act like a magnet that increases the problem rather than solving it. It also begs the question of how long someone has to live in Santa Cruz to be considered “local,” and therefore deserving of the city’s compassion and services. Drilling down on the survey data into how long “nonlocal” homeless people have been living in Santa Cruz, the two sets of survey data are roughly consistent, but ask slightly different questions. Of the 62 “nonlocal” homeless respondents in the UCSC/Civinomics survey—41 of whom

arrived in Santa Cruz homeless—23 percent reported they have been in Santa Cruz more than 10 years, 10 percent between five and 10 years, and 23 percent between three and five years, for a total of 56 percent living in Santa Cruz more than three years, without details about whether or not they have been regularly housed during their stay in Santa Cruz. However, 37 percent of the total number of homeless people surveyed—101 people— reported being homeless for more than five years. The 2013 PIT Homeless Census and Survey found that 53 percent reported living and being housed in Santa Cruz County for three or more years before becoming homeless, with 31 percent of those living in Santa Cruz for 10 years or more before becoming homeless. “Santa Cruz is a town of transplants,” says Singleton, whose data shows that homeless came to Santa Cruz for many of the same reasons that most residents move here. Only 19 percent of homeless respondents reported “benefits and available resources (shelter, food, etc.,)” as the key reason Santa Cruz attracts homeless people. Tabulating key words from narrative responses to the question, “Why do you think

Santa Cruz attracts homeless people?,” 73 percent of homeless individuals say they believe that the natural, non-policy-related attractions like climate and beaches are what bring homeless people to Santa Cruz. City Councilmember Richele Noroyan has been asking for more detailed city-specific data on the homeless for years. Noroyan has questioned the data of the PIT Homeless Census and Survey data, and has suggested better targeting of homeless services to “locals.” She takes issue when her comments are construed as “anti-homeless.” “That is so not the case,” says Noroyan. “We need more detailed data to make more effective policies that actually work to end homelessness.” Noroyan wants more information about why Santa Cruz is in the top 10 percent of cities in the nation in terms of the number of long-term, chronically homeless. “My concerns are not punitive, I just want more information so we can be more effective at addressing the problem,” Noroyan says. UCSC and Civinomics are currently writing the analysis and final report of the study.Survey data and partial analysis is expected to be released by Civinomics in three to four weeks.

NEWS EXTENDED FORECAST <14 committee were given a scenario of an eight-year prolonged drought that resulted in a 1.3-billion-gallon-a-year shortage. Engfer’s group then had to come up with plausible solutions to the water gap. They nixed consideration of a desalination plant, which was turned down by voters two years ago, and focused instead on stringent conservation. They also considered building more pumps and pipes to divert more water from the San Lorenzo River. Rick Longinotti, who started the organization Desal Alternatives to oppose a desalination plant, says he harbors no regrets about killing the proposal, despite the persistence of the drought. “There are ways to deal with the drought that don’t require high technology, high energy and are very costly,” Longinotti says. “I think right now we are focusing on ways to reduce demand and take advantage of the winter flows in the San Lorenzo.” But there is a degree of uncertainty in this scenario, Engfer cautions. If the drought worsens as a result of climate change, the demand for water in Santa Cruz could become untenable. The only way to guarantee a steady supply of water outside of a desalination plant is to use recycled water, says Engfer, who identifies two possible scenarios for doing so. “The two scenarios involve taking wastewater and sewer effluent and processing it until it’s pure and then shipping it to the North Coast so they can use it for irrigation,” Engfer says. “The second scenario is we could store it in an aquifer and use it for drinking.” The committee considered other solutions such as storing water in defunct quarries; storing excess water in Scotts Valley and Soquel; even more aggressive water rationing; making developers pay for retrofitting watersmart components and using Ranney collectors, which are horizontal wells near rivers. The Water Supply Advisory Committee will continue to weigh and analyze iterations of different scenarios and possible solutions throughout the summer, before settling on a recommendation for the Santa Cruz City Council, due in October.

<20 George Patchen. Another, which seems to be more popular, is that a stagecoach stopped at the Summit post office in the 1850s and there was a man outside intently sewing. A postal inspector asked him what he was doing and the man replied, “Patchin.’�

Like many beachgoers from over the hill, Walt Hoefler took a date to Santa Cruz and ran out of gas on the way back at the Summit, just before the county line. It was the late 1950s, and he’d done his time in the Air Force and had a fresh degree in agricultural engineering from U.C. Davis. He pulled into the only business up there then, the Cloud 9 restaurant, and asked for help. The owner gave him a gas can and sent him on a hike to Redwood Estates to fuel up. Hoefler already had his car there, but the owner wanted him to leave the woman he was with there too, as

“collateral� for the gas can. Hoefler was angry, but half a dozen years later he had his revenge. In 1963, he bought 20 acres of property across from Cloud 9 for $42,000, and put up his own restaurant. “I didn’t do it to get even,� he says with a laugh, sitting at a table in the same restaurant 52 years later. “It was a good business deal. But it felt good to have some revenge, anyway.� People at the Summit see Hoefler as a living embodiment of the old days. Not only does he manage the properties, but he also has a regiment of trucks and pavers and graders and hospital-quality generators and water tanks tucked away up there to maintain the businesses in a stretch that gets some of the worst wind and weather in the county. “He’s kind of a throwback,� says Weatherman, the former cop. “He’s like a survivalist in the purest sense.�

THE SUMMIT <23 father, Phillip, called Hoefler’s Charcoal Pit, which ran successfully from 1964 to 1978. Since then, it’s been all kinds of places, including an all-you-can-eat breakfast stop, a pizza joint that didn’t get a beer license and had pizzas to take home, and several diners. The owners who ran it as the Summit Inn made enough money to buy 22 homes, he says. Others had to walk away. “How can you sell pizza without beer?� he wonders. Hoefler now owns 100 acres around the Summit, including the areas around the old train tunnel. He lives in Saratoga and has owned shopping centers in Minnesota and Florida, which he ended up selling because they were too far away. He’s watching now as the former Cloud 9 property across the highway is being listed for sale at $4.9 million: “Way too much,� he says. One of the biggest problems in Hoefler’s time at the Summit was theft of water. His monthly use shot up to 120,000 gallons for three months, before he found out that a marijuana farm below him had tapped into his pipes. County officials raided it in helicopters and found it was owned by a Mexican drug cartel. You can still see other weed-based farms down the hill.

TWO TYPES OF PLATES “It’s all downhill from here, whichever way you go,� says Penny Siler, who owns Summit House Beer Garden and Grill with her daughter, Roseanne Mayclin. Siler, 73, has spent 50 years running restaurants, many of them in Santa Cruz. She’s owned Salsa de Portola on 17th Avenue, Callahan’s, La Salsa in Ben Lomond, Charlie O’s and Duffy’s in Scotts Valley, and the Trout Farm in Felton. Siler thinks she can help revive the Summit, despite restrictions against putting up signs to let speeding drivers know there is good food ahead. “Our main attraction is the restroom,� says her daughter, Roseanne, who is in charge. “People

He also knows how to take on government. Hoefler says he wanted a helipad on the Summit to help all the injured motorists he was seeing, but he couldn’t get it approved by the Santa Cruz County authorities. He approached Bob Lee, the district attorney who died last year, and Lee told him to call it a patio for the restaurant, which doesn’t need a permit. Hoefler got it done in 2006, with work and concrete donated by Joseph J. Albanese Construction in Santa Clara, which installed a plaque honoring the owner’s late son: “This life-preserving facility is dedicated to the memory of Daniel C. Albanese 1965-2006. His love of the wildlife and the mountains will always be remembered.� Hoefler is now trying to get officials to allow him to put up orange balls on the poles near the pad to make it safer for pilots. In any battle, he’s a guy you’d want to bet on. He started working at the age of 7 in Santa Ana selling newspapers and magazines at an Army hospital. He wanted to be a pilot, but got slammed in a crossbody block while playing football during his Air Force training and lost his hearing in one ear, disqualifying him from flying. So Hoefler ended up studying meteorology for the Air Force in Fullerton. He was transferred in 1954 to Washington, D.C. to work for the NSA—a job working on codes he still can’t say much about. In his spare time there, he also managed a restaurant with his brother, but missed the California climate and wasn’t happy about the East Coast lifestyle. “I was going to end up drunk or dead if I stayed in D.C.,� he says. He finished his degree in Davis, took that fateful trip to Santa Cruz, and later met and married his wife, Mary, in 1959. After working as a bank teller for $350 a month, he saw where the money was coming from— real estate development—and he began saving and buying properties. Hoefler has hung on to the Summit despite all kinds of challenges. His first business there was a restaurant managed by his

tell me I should lock it, but I wouldn’t do that. I want this to be a family place. A lot of people use the restroom, see the view and stay.” They figure the crowd is half locals and half tourists. They have live music all summer and a staff of eight, many of them family, including Roseanne’s daughter-inlaw and her ex-daughter-in-law. The menu includes typical American fare such as hamburgers and steaks, fish and vegetarian items, but they have been known to cater to their foreign visitors, too. Last week, they made a plate of rice and vegetables at the request of a Chinese family. There is a playground for kids at Summit House and an outdoor stage for live bands. They have karaoke Friday nights, classic rock and blues bands Saturdays from 4-7 p.m. and 10 percent off for locals on Thursdays. They also resurrected the beautiful old wooden bar from the defunct Capitola Book Café, which they bought in pieces for $200. Summit House carries road necessities, such as oil and radiator fluid, which they sell for $5 and $10—half the price of the store across the road. Their Facebook page has a picture of Dave Rivera from the movie American Brawler when he stopped in. “We want everyone to be comfortable here,” says Roseanne. Next door is one of the most unlikely businesses. Tucked away in an A-frame with rolls of flypaper along the entranceway is an office run by Weatherman, the former San Francisco police officer, who teaches people to become car dealers. Weatherman says he runs 40 “AutoGodfather” car-related blogs from the building and gives private lessons for people who want to get their license to deal cars. It’s called “Got Plates.” He also runs a dealership in San Francisco called Tristar Motors. It was previously run by three former cops—“Tristar” referred to their badges. Now he’s the only one left. Weatherman operates his classes in 39 locations and has a

dozen teachers working for him. He charges $200 for the course and has 7,000 clients. He also does investigations of shady car dealers who sell on the Internet pretending to be regular people to avoid licensing and safety requirements. Weatherman used to run the business from Aptos, but moved up the hill when the rent doubled there. He’s got a handful of shiny newer cars parked nearby, and one $120,000 armored van, which he plans to sell to a police agency. Weatherman’s service with San Francisco Police Department was checkered. He won 200 commendations and 12 medals of valor, but he was sued six times for brutality, and disciplined with a 60-day suspension by the department in one case for hitting a helpless man in jail. “I was a policeman in a very different era,” Weatherman says. “Our job was to go out and stir up shit and let them know who the police were. We didn’t care what the public thought. I worked the worst neighborhoods and my job was to stop crime. I’d probably be a dinosaur in today’s department.”

MEXICAN RADIO Daniel “Tony” Hwang, 65, who owns the Casa del 17 convenience store on the other side of the highway, is just as colorful. He bought the place in 1991 after moving here from South Korea and buying convenience stores around the tough King and Story neighborhood in San Jose. He’s decorated the front of Casa del 17 with old-time signs and wooden bear statues and leaves the old Cloud 9 fixings and dining room empty in the back. Hwang plays Mexican music on the radio, even though he doesn’t speak Spanish, because he finds it romantic. On one recent afternoon, Hwang is sound asleep behind a locked office door with a glass window. It takes several minutes of customers beating on the door to wake him, but they don’t want to do business—they want to buy marijuana from the store next

very Thursday night, the whine of a sandblaster hums from inside the bus barn behind Twin Lakes Church, where a group of high school students gathers around a piece of living history. Well, almost living. They are the young apprentices of the church’s

HOT TICKET

Kingsmen Car Club, which started its mentoring program a year or so after it formed in 2005, and their current labor of love is the restoration of a two-door 1930 Model A Ford. The night I visit the bus barn, the club is anticipating their April 11 Swap Meet fundraiser—now in its third year—followed by their 9th

annual Hot Rods on the Green car show on June 27-28. Zach Fortune, 20, is re-attaching the Model A’s original headlights, which needed to be rewired before they could once again throw off the gentle 48-candle-power beams that illuminated the roads of yesteryear. A 1961-62 Santa Cruz High parking

sticker graces one dusty window, hinting at the car’s glory days, when its faded mossy green coat of paint (which probably dates back to those same high school days) was at its most vibrant. “For me it’s like restoring history, that’s what I like to see, that we can make something run that was

<30 running 70 years ago,” says Jeff Walls, 54, car enthusiast and assistant director of the apprenticeship program. “We did a lot of research online to see how things went together and how they came apart. It’s been a huge project, a lot more than I thought. But I like the challenge. It’s like a big puzzle.” The car has been completely disassembled, right down to the bare frame, says Brent Durst, 45, a hot rod enthusiast and director of the program for the past three years. “We sandblasted and repainted all of the parts, tore the engine completely apart and machined and rebuilt the engine.” Jim Stevens—an original member of the car club formed in the 1950s by high school boys who called themselves the “King’s Men”—donated the model A to the apprentice program five years ago, after his grandson was killed in a tragic accident one year into restoring it. His only caveat was that the club never sell it. Since then, five different groups of students—both boys and girls—have cycled through the apprenticeship program, helping to breathe life back into the beloved car and future mascot, learning as they go. Now they’re on the home stretch: with the exception of a complete paint job, Durst estimates that the model A will be fully restored by the end of the year. Fortune points to the car’s clothwrapped wires, cork gaskets and wooden frame, a testament to the automobile’s evolution from covered wagons. “It was the ’30s, you know, they built with what they could. It was the middle of the Depression, so they were pushed out of the factory as fast as they could and made as cheaply as they could be, because people couldn’t afford cars. I mean, they could barely afford food,” says Fortune, who sports the club jacket awarded to apprentices who have put in 40 hours of work. Fortune is one of several graduates who still drop by on Thursday nights, drawn not only by their passion for old cars but to the relationships they formed there. “I enjoy mentoring these guys, and just being here for them every week. It’s fun for us, we have a good time,” says Durst. “And we try to, when they’re going through tough times, just sit down and talk to them.” Aside from “keeping them out

of trouble on Thursday nights,” as Walls jokes, the club offers a refuge for a few young men with special needs, like Brett Wright and Nicolai Dubinsky, who spend a lot of time at the Monterey Bay Horsemanship and Therapeutic Center in Seaside. “We get kind of a break from the monotony of being at the horse ranch,” says Alex Robledo, 27, a community integration trainer at the ranch. “When they’re there, they get used to a flow of things, a schedule, horse stuff all the time, and so when we come here they get to learn other things. And like the horse riding, it definitely boosts their confidence. For Nicolai, just right there working on the sandblaster, that actually puts him in a really nice mental state. When he’s here, it’s like his escape, he can just come here and relax.” The Kings Men Car Club fizzled out around 1965, but when car-loving church members resurrected it as as the Kingsmen Car Club 10 years ago, it came back full force. “The original club, girls were not allowed. Or maybe they weren’t interested, but they just weren’t a part of it. Now it’s really a family club,” says Monica Arias, 46, who met her husband in the car club and still has her dad’s first car—a 1932 Ford. “We took all of the family vacations and road trips in it. It’s a part of the family history. My parents had their first date in that car, my dad drove me to the prom in that car,” she says. Arias came up with the idea for a Swap Meet fundraiser after her dad passed away and left her with not only his old cars, but also a shop full of car parts her mom had no idea what to do with. With support from the church, the fundraiser proved successful, attracting car lovers from surrounding counties as well as local ones. “I got a late start in life working on cars. I always wanted to,” says Arias, whose father didn’t want her hanging around the shop too much with all the boys. The apprentice program has helped get her up to speed. “It’s really been a learning process since he’s been gone. I maintain them and I clean them and I detail them, and so I’ve learned a lot. And I do like to work on cars.” The Kingsmen Car Club’s 3rd annual Swap Meet is Saturday, April 11 from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Twin Lakes Church campus in Aptos. tlc.org/ministries/kingsmen.

Public shaming via social media is trending, but Jon Ronson asks what it says about the shamers BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

I

n 2013, while waiting for her plane to depart from Heathrow airport for South Africa, Justine Sacco wrote a badly worded tweet in which she intended to make fun of white privilege. She had 170 followers. While she was in flight, one of them missed her sarcasm and retweeted it, calling her a racist. By the time she landed in Cape Town, the tweet had gone viral. 170 people had turned into 1.2 million people, who went from not knowing who she was to wishing her every kind of misfortune, often in graphic detail. She was unable to remain in South Africa (they couldn’t guarantee her

safety), and upon her return to the U.S., she was immediately fired from her dream job. Say what you will about the wisdom of tweeting bad jokes ripe for misinterpretation, but for Sacco, the pile-on was a tsunami of personal destruction, with the added nightmare of her poor judgment being forever available to the general public. Author Jon Ronson, was struck hard by her story. He could imagine how it must have felt to have her sense of self appropriated by an online mob— in a previous unsettling experience of his own, online imposters had appropriated his name, persona and image. But he also knew how the

online mob felt. He wasn’t among those who responded to Sacco’s illfated tweet, but he too had hit send in the name of righteous indignation countless times, without a thought as to what effect his words might have on the receiving end. “In the early days of Twitter,” he writes, “I was a keen shamer. When newspaper columnists made racist or homophobic statements, I joined the pile-on. Sometimes I led it.” That divide, even within himself, is what moved Ronson to write his new book, “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.” In it, he interviews a wide cross-section of people—a science

journalist, a publicist, a software developer, a caregiver—all with one painful thing in common: their time spent in the 21st century version of village-square stocks; digital shaming. Some of them made big mistakes, some of them made small ones, but all of them saw their lives torn apart by strangers who mostly forgot about them a day later. As he did in his bestselling books “The Psychopath Test,” “Lost at Sea,” and “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” Ronson employs his considerable journalistic skills and self-deprecating sense of the absurd to humanize his subjects. He tells their stories with wit, empathy and candor, and his sharpest critique is not directed at them, but at us. “On social media,” he writes, “we’ve set the stage for constant high drama, but that’s not how we are as human beings. We like to pretend that people aren’t dimensional. We’ve tricked ourselves that Justine Sacco was that one moment, and until we get past that we’re screwed.” It’s true that the Internet can be swift and sweeping in its ability to devastate individuals, but it can also be a great equalizer, calling out the powerful in ways that individuals can’t. Ronson points this out himself: “Shaming is powerful and useful. I’m living in New York, and my instinct is that, after the Black Lives Matter protests, which were organized on social media, the chance of there being another Eric Garner choked to death in New York by an NYPD officer has diminished.” In other words, he’s not taking a moral stand against speaking truth to power, he’s taking one against wrecking people’s lives for sport. He points out the collateral damage wrought by what he labels “the great renaissance in public shaming,” because it’s littered with punishment disproportionate to the offenses of its victims, and it’s coming from us— the well-intentioned, self-righteous masses. Are we more than our momentary lapses, or even our worst moments? Jon Ronson asks the question, and we’d better hope for our own sakes that the answer is yes. John Ronson will discuss ‘So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed’ at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 10 at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Free.

B. Modern creates decadent costumes from scraps, rags and mad thrifting BY CHRISTINA WATERS

E

ccentricity, beauty, people, stories. “That’s what I love about working with the theater,” says costume designer B. Modern, whose colorful wardrobe artistry has clothed Bay Area actors for three decades. And besides, the prolific Santa Cruzbased costume designer confesses, “I’m a good scavenger.” She needs to be, given the fringe nature of regional theater and its neverenough funding. Well into work for the upcoming season of Santa Cruz Shakespeare, Modern was an eye-popping advert for her craft the day we met in

the Sinsheimer-Stanley Festival Glen—chartreuse jacket; an orange, turquoise and chartreuse scarf; enormous Prada knock-off owl-eye glasses (“I love curlicues!”) and those green and black Mary Janes with kitty faces on the toes. Modern makes an indelible visual statement just going about everyday life, although we all suspect that “everyday life” for a theatrical costume designer is a bit more dramatic. After studying dramatic arts and costume design at UC Berkeley, Modern gravitated toward Santa Cruz. “Once I discovered costume design I knew that this is what I was meant to do,” she says. As

an art student who could sew, Modern was poised for work in fabric shops, and then gradually expanded into designing press materials, brochures and logos for theater-related companies. “It was fun and affordable in those days to live in Santa Cruz,” she remembers. In the new wave days of the late ’70s, she adopted her memorable name. “My given name was Bette, but I was always called ‘B’.” She chose “Modern” as a reminder to always look forward. “Santa Cruz was a very open place,” she says. “I got lots of work doing brochures and graphic design. I’ve been very lucky,”

she admits, her green eyes matching her ensemble. She did her first costumes for Shakespeare Santa Cruz in 1988. “After one year doing costume design I was hooked,” says Modern. “It was Titus Andronicus. That was a legendary production, set in post-apocalyptic times when no one had done that before. It was bloody, crazy and wonderful.” Modern starts working on Santa Cruz Shakespeare productions in January. “I read the play and meet with the director. I want them to give me all their ideas. Then we go back and forth,” she explains. Modern does her homework. More flurry of ideas with the director. “Then I come up with the first set of designs, pencil on paper drawings. No color until I have the whole thing nailed down.” she says. Once the look is finalized, “I clean everything up, copy it onto nice 13 by 17 sheets of paper at Kinko’s. Then I put on a book on tape,” she says, grinning, “and color it in with Prismacolor pencils. I can control and build up the color that way.” Modern is currently working on “a combination of medieval and modern” costumes for Lady Macbeth. “We want the Scottish play to be gritty, dirty, gnarly, insane,” she says. Her tight budget requires plenty of ingenuity. And borrowing. “I have many friends at many companies. We have reciprocal relationships. We just can’t make it all from scratch.” she says. It takes altering, embellishing, and tons of thrift shopping. “I’m on eBay all the time. I comb every resource looking for the exact piece—up to the last minute. Foot issues are a big concern,” she reveals. “Actors spend a lot of time on their feet. I don’t want to find out about any foot issues at the last minute!” Modern was born in Hollywood, where her dad managed a shoe store. That might explain the cat shoes she’s wearing. “I have 10 pairs,” she says. Why is she good at her work? “I’ve inherited a sunny disposition from my mom. As well as a touch of arthritis,” she jokes. “What I do isn’t easy, believe me. You’re always being judged. But I love clothing and I love to tell stories. The costumes help tell the story. That’s my goal.”

WHAT DOES THE PHOX SAY Wisconsin’s Phox plays Don Quixote’s on Monday, April 13.

Accidental Tourists APRIL 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

How laid-back Wisconsin indie-folk collective Phox stumbled into a career BY AARON CARNES

38

A

few years back at South by Southwest, Matt Holmen from Wisconsin indie-folk-pop group Phox recalls feeling a lot of anxiety. It wasn’t anything related to the performance. It’s what happened after. Labels, managers and lawyers came up to them, wanting to make deals with the group. The members had only formed the band the year before, and had never even been outside of the Midwest before. They’d gone to SXSW precisely for this kind of attention, of course, but were taken aback when it actually worked out how they had hoped. “It was overwhelming. It was a job fair for us. That’s how I always

describe it to people. It’s funny, so cliché,” Holmen says. “Being on stage was easy. What happened after, that was more harrowing, just dealing with people that work in music— which I’ve grown accustomed to. I even enjoy it now. At that point it really scared me.” They did make some deals, though, and leapt into a heavy touring schedule, which they’ve pretty much kept up since—it’s taken them all over the U.S., Europe and Australia, opening up for groups like the Lumineers and Blitzen Trapper. But they didn’t make a deal with Partisan Records, who had emailed them less than a week after the show, for almost a year. “We had just self-released our EP.

We were like, ‘let’s just sit on this and think about things,’” Holmen explains. They released their self-titled debut on Partisan Records last June. The melding of folk, mellow indie rock and pop is familiar territory for bands these days, but Phox’s approach is much more low-key than most of the current indie-folk bands. Rather than anthemic choruses, polished recordings, overt Appalachian throwback aesthetic or heart-onthe-sleeve lyrical phrases, Phox keeps everything easy-going, with a prominent free-form jazz element. The melodies are catchy, but the group seems in no rush to get anyone to sing along with them. It’s just there for people to enjoy if they feel so inclined. “There’s not a huge design to it.

[Vocalist] Monica starts off with a melody, a chord progression and where she wants it to go,” Holmen says. “We’re like, ‘hey let’s try something, whatever works.’ There’s no pressure on ourselves to be utterly groundbreaking, just to make something that’s honest and interesting to us.” Everybody in the band knew each other from high school in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and some have been friends since childhood. After graduation, the six members moved to a single house in Madison, where they stayed for three years and formed Phox. Their initial EP was recorded at home, along with music videos for each song, and several videos documenting their communal band life. By the time they were ready to record their album, they re-recorded a lot of the same material, sprinkling in a few new songs. They did it in a single session at the home studio of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, but they didn’t fret about transforming the material into a high-level production. “We just figured, ‘hey this is what it is,’ rather than laboring over every detail. We didn’t want to sculpt everything down and try to be real concise. ‘Let’s just put this out. Let’s not edit it too far,’” Holmen says. “It’s a balance between being good and sounding fresh. It’s like painting. Sometimes you can’t get every line exactly right. You try and figure out something you’re comfortable with.” There’s a nonchalance to the record that nearly disguises the personal and emotive quality of the songs. A particular highlight is vocalist Monica Martin, who evokes a golden-age jazz vocalist element, seemingly making up a lot of her melodies on the spot. They have plans to tour into the summer this year, but after that want to take some time off and reassess the band, write some new songs, and work on their next record. “We definitely have aspirations,” Holmen says. “This has been my favorite band I’ve ever played in. I didn’t know what to expect exactly.” INFO: 9 p.m., Monday, April 13, Don Quixote, 6275, Hwy 9, Felton. $18/Adv, $20/Door. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 4/10 ALISON ARNGRIM Alison Arngrim was once kicked in the butt for her role as Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie—it was at an Easter event and two kids her age knocked her smack onto the pavement, squashing her hotdog and slushie. Being Nellie wasn’t always easy; fans of the show were so convinced by Arngrim’s portrayal of the cheeky little girl that their hatred for Nellie often transcended the TV set. But the contrast of Arngrim’s actual personality with Nellie’s made it possible to support issues in real life that no one wanted to talk about, like AIDS in the early ’80s. After her Little House co-star Steve Tracy died of the disease in 1986, Arngrim became an activist for the cause and has since championed children’s rights with the National Association to Protect Children—condemning the exploitation of child actors, especially on reality TV shows. In her comedy show Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, which comes to the Rio this Friday, Arngrim talks about these and other highlights (and lowlights) of her life, like being hit on by Hervé Villechaize on Fantasy Island, not having sex with Michael Landon (“Hi, I was twelve, you freakin’ perverts!”), and what it was like being known around the globe as the “bitch” from Little House. Arngrim will be taking questions from the audience, so if you’ve ever wondered what it was like growing up the daughter of the woman who did voice work for Casper the Friendly Ghost and Gumby, this is your chance. And even though she’s currently on tour as a comedian, Arngrim says that activism is simply her duty as a celebrity: “I never understand when I see famous people who don’t do anything,” she tells GT. “Like why can’t the Kardashians just say ‘Plant trees’ or ‘Save water?’‘Spay and neuter your pets’—anything. Why the heck not say something useful? That’s why I decided not to be a waste of oxygen.” Info: 8 p.m., Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Riotheatre.com. $20-$30.

MODERN OLDERHOOD Hard to let go! For the person selling the family home who is 70, 80, or 90-ish, it represents so much more than a change of residence. Add a limited voice in the family pecking order, even over what happens in their home, and it’s rocky. Adult children step in to be “practicalâ€? or “realistic.â€? Remember the Dust Bowl? The folks who endured years of hellish dust in Oklahoma were asked, “Why didn’t you just leave? :K\ HQGXUH WKDW KRUULĂ€F GXVW ZLQG ORVV DQG devastation year after year?â€? Because it was Home. Home resides deep in the heart’s vault, unseen, but keenly felt. Home is a space and a place where we harbor our bearings, our expectations, our security that we are safe.

Then after 7 years of endurance they felt surely it was coming to an end. “We can’t leave now!â€? And on it went. From the outside, it seems so easy. “Pack up and get out!â€? So it is with aging in the family home. “I’ll PDQDJH ,¡OO EH Ă€QH ,¡OO KLUH D JDUGHQHU ,¡OO get a housecleaner. Maybe someone can drive me to the store? I can have things delivered.

The Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha is a feast for the eyes and ears. Steeped in Slavic folk music, the band wields a menagerie of instruments, includes cellos, accordion, hurdy-gurdy, trombone, and a variety of percussion. Their keening polyphonic vocals are almost as dramatic as their theatrical getup, as the three women perform decked out in wedding dresses with tall black fur hats. They can sound impossibly sweet or ferociously guttural in the space of a phrase, and can lay down grooves as lean and propulsive as a funk rhythm section. ANDREW GILBERT

Cumbia is not indigenous to Mexico; it started in Columbia and exploded outward. Accordion player Celso Pina is almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing it to Monterrey, Mexico, where it currently thrives. He’s become a bit of a legend, and by the early 2000s was a superstar. But the now 61-year-old musician has been playing since the ’80s, originally more from a traditional perspective. As time went on, he treated cumbia more as a fusion style of music, mixing in Norteno, reggae, sonidero, rap and ska. AC

tionately named “punkabilly”) since forming all the way back in 1985. Thirty years, countless tours and eleven albums later—with the latest, REV, dropping last year—the Reverend shows no signs of slowing down, and by the ghost of Johnny Horton we wouldn’t want him to. With psychobillies the Koffin Kats opening, followed by the raging Russian surfers Igor & the Red Elvises, showgoers can fill up on all the musical food groups. MW

Formed in 1979 in a garage in the San Fernando Valley, Bad Religion is one of the longest-running and most commercially successful of all the punk bands. Drawing early inspiration from the Germs, the Ramones, and the Clash, Bad Religion also infuses its sound with three-part harmonies reminiscent of the Adolescents. With a melodic style, social commentary, and upbeat feel, the band bridges the pioneering punk scene with later punk upstarts NOFX, Pennywise, the Bouncing Souls, and more. Still going strong, despite numerous lineup changes, the band plans to record a new album this fall. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

GRAY MATTERS Dakota Fanning as Effie Gray in Emma Thompson’s real-life tale of Gray’s

loveless marriage to the London art critic John Ruskin in 1848.

Subtle Difference APRIL 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Juicy story too subdued in listless ‘Effie Gray’

56

T

he first time Emma Thompson wrote a movie script she won an Oscar for her smart and lively adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. She doesn’t have the good fortune to collaborate with Jane Austen on her new film, Effie Gray, but she does have a fascinating true story to tell in her original screenplay. The real-life Effie Gray was an innocent country girl wed to influential London art critic John Ruskin at age 20, in one of the most bizarro marriages of the era, even by Victorian standards. It’s a tale rife with thwarted desire, confused sexuality, monstrous in-laws, cruelty, scandal, forbidden love, and Pre-Raphaelite art. And Thompson and director Richard Laxton have assembled a

cast of stalwart British thesps to tell it. But as juicy as the story ought to be, the movie just misses the mark dramatically. The acting is generally first-rate, and the film is lovely to look at, but the writing is often flat, as if Thompson were trying so hard not to sensationalize the story that she drained the life out of it instead. In her clever prologue, Thompson sets up the story as if it were a fairy tale about a beautiful young girl (Dakota Fanning, as Effie) who leaves her drafty home in Scotland as bride to a famous and wealthy man (Greg Wise, as John). She’s known him since she was a girl of 12, but, as Effie notes, the first time they have ever been alone together is on the train from Scotland to London. “Her mother and father were kind,”

BY LISA JENSEN

the narrator intones. “But his were wicked.” And how. Effie soon realizes she’s married the entire Ruskin household, including John’s imperious mother (Julie Walters), who still bathes him, and his father (David Suchet), who prizes his son’s influence as a critic for increasing the value of the paintings he invests in. They stand guard over every precious minute of their son’s day so he has plenty of time to write, and not be distracted by petty matters, like a wife. Effie is ignored by everyone, including John; on their first night together, when she plucks up the nerve to strip off her chemise, a horrified John walks out of the room. Untouched, unloved, and belittled at every turn, Effie finds an

unexpected ally in Lady Eastlake (Thompson, who gives her character all the best lines), wife of the president of the Royal Academy of Art (James Fox). Leaving a social call to the hideous Ruskins, made for Effie’s sake, the Eastlakes compare them to “dragons in a fairy tale.” As Effie languishes from neglect, the annoyed Ruskins send the couple to Venice, where John palms her off on their Italian hosts while he writes a book on Venetian architecture. Meanwhile, Effie has to fend off the advances of a smitten young Italian count (Riccardo Scamarcio)—but not before she learns where her pleasure center is. When his parents commission a portrait of John from one of the Pre-Raphaelite painters he has championed, John Everett Millais (Tom Sturridge), the young Ruskins and Millais set out together for a fateful sojourn in Scotland. But despite all this material, the film mostly consists of Effie wandering listlessly about. Fanning has a perfectly Pre-Raphaelite face, but she doesn’t bring much spirit to the part; we’d like to see more flashes of someone worth saving beneath her repressed exterior. Nor is there much effort to understand or explain John Ruskin’s increasingly cold cruelty to his wife, beyond that his entire life and personality have been subjugated to his parents’ agenda. If he has any sexual or personal inclinations of his own, we never see them. The real-life Gray is famous for bringing a successful divorce proceeding against her husband in an era when such things were simply not done. But this satisfying conclusion to her story is only hinted at in the film, while we see little of her courage and determination in achieving it. (Nor is there any mention at all of her subsequent long and happy marriage to Millais.) It’s still an enjoyable film, in a very handsome package, but we wish there were more resonance to it. EFFIE GRAY **1/2 (out of four) With Dakota Fanning, Greg Wise, Tom Sturridge, and Emma Thompson. Written by Emma Thompson. Directed by Richard Laxton. An Adopt Films release. Rated PG-13. 108 minutes.

NOW PLAYING CINDERELLA Disney’s live-action reboot isn’t quite as fresh as last year’s Maleficent. The production values are luscious, and director Kenneth Branagh imbues the story with humor, tension, and emotional complexity. But Linda Woolverton, who wrote Maleficent, comes from a generation of women who grew up chafing against the passivity of Disney cartoon heroines. Chris Weitz, the scriptwriter here, provides personalities for both his heroine, and her Prince, but he doesn’t

have the same feminist fire; he’s content to tell the same old story in much the same old way. Still, what it lacks in innovation, the film makes up for in sheer loveliness, performed by an engaging cast. (PG) 112 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Shailene Woodley and Theo James return as Tris and Four in this second installment of the dystopian future trilogy based on the popular book series by Veronica Roth. Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their fiercely classbased society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (Saved FGB) EFFIE GRAY Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 108 minutes. (**1/2)— Lisa Jensen. FOCUS Will Smith stars as a slick, seasoned con man who takes on a sexy young blonde apprentice (Margot Robbie), but finds their working partnership complicated by romance in this comic caper adventure from co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love). (R) 105 minutes. FURIOUS 7 The untimely death of co-star Paul Walker midway through filming this installment was a blow to the series, but the action franchise roars on with this tale of a vendetta sworn against team leader Vin Diesel and his crew. Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and Walker are featured. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell also join the cast. (PG-13) 137 minutes. GET HARD Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart star in this comedy as a millionaire about to go to prison for fraud and the streetwise guy he hires to teach him how to be tough on the inside. Alison Brie co-stars for director Ethan Cohen. (R) 100 minutes.

HOME A lovable purple alien from another world and a hip earth girl with a souped-up car become friends and allies in this family adventure comedy from DreamWorks Animation. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez provide voices. Tim Johnson (Antz; Over the Hedge) directs. (PG) 94 minutes. IT FOLLOWS It’s back to ’50sera morality in this indie horror thriller, in which a 19-year-old girl dares to have sex, which unleashes something nasty into her life. Maika Monroe stars for director David Robert Mitchell. (R) 100 minutes. KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The comic book The Secret Service is the inspiration for this tongue-in-cheek spy spoof adventure in which a slick op and his team groom a young street kid into a master spy. Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Jack Davenport, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mark Strong star with newcomer Taron Egerton. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) directs. (R) 129 minutes. KUMIKO, THE TREASURE HUNTER This offbeat film festival favorite concerns a young Japanese woman (Rinko Kikuchi) in a mundane job in Tokyo who finds an old VHS copy of the movie Fargo, and journeys to North Dakota to find the buried treasure depicted therein. David Zellner directs. (Not rated) 105 minutes. MCFARLAND, USA In this factbased story set in the farm belt of California’s Kern County, Kevin Costner stars as a newly arrived high school PE coach who helps groom a handful of Latino farmworkers’ sons into a championship track team. Maria Bello, Carlos Prats, and Hector Duran co-star for director Niki Caro (Whale Rider). (PG) 128 minutes. THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Most of the original cast members return as mature expat Brits getting a new lease on life in India when

the ambitious young proprietor of their residential hotel (Dev Patel) tempts chaos by trying to expand his business and get married at the same time. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, and Celia Imrie head the cast, which also includes newcomers David Strathairn and Richard Gere. John Madden directs. (PG) 122 minutes. SERENA Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper team up again for this drama of passion and ambition from Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (After the Wedding; In A Better World). Set in the mountain country of North Carolina in the 1920s, it’s the story of young newlyweds carving out a timber and logging empire whose past comes back to haunt them. (R) 109 minutes. WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, co-creators of HBO cult hit Flight of the Conchords, take on vampireobsessed pop culture in this comedy about bloodsucking roommates trying to keep up with the times—trends, technology, fashion, their zombie and werewolf rivals, and their daily dose of nourishment. (Not rated) 86 minutes. THE WRECKING CREW Denny Tedesco’s entertaining music documentary celebrates a loose aggregate of LA-based recording studio session musicians known to insiders as “The Wrecking Crew.” In the burgeoning West Coast pop music scene of the early 1960s, these were the players smart producers called in to lay down the basic groove under some of the best-known hit songs of the era (by artists like The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas, and Sonny and Cher). Tedesco’s film honors these unsung heroes (including his late father, guitarist Tommy Tedesco, and fascinating female bass guitarist Carol Kaye) with the recognition they deserve. (PG) 95 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

THE HUNTING GROUND The ongoing epidemic of rape on America’s college campuses is examined in this unflinching documentary from director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering (The Invisible War). The film explores the way institutions turn a blind eye to the "rape culture," and the climate of official denial, the impact on victims and their families, and measures being taken in the fight for justice. (PG13) 90 minutes. Starts Friday, at the Nickelodeon. (SPECIAL NOTE: A post-film panel discussion with UCSC students, Confidential Victim Advocates, Title IX, Student Conduct Officers, and Monarch Services will follow the 7 p.m. screening on opening night.)

(The Squid and the Whale; Frances Ha) as a “middle aged” couple of New Yorkers (they’re in their 40s) on a collision course with upheaval and introspection when they are befriended by a hip, spontaneous younger couple (Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried). (R) 94 minutes. Starts Friday.

FOOD & DRINK all appealingly perfumed by the bloodred beet juices. On another occasion, I switched my usual Laili preference for the filet mignon—which just might be the finest steak available in Santa Cruz—and tried the special scallops kabob. Even though it didn’t come with those signature condiments— the fiery jalapeño-mint sauce, the orange chutney, and qurut yogurt—it arrived with saffron basmati rice and exotic veggies—it was a completely memorable execution of my favorite shellfish. The scallops ($28) were huge, moist and fresh. I managed to finish two of them, and took the others home for a lavish lunch the next day. One of these days, we’ll manage to sample a Laili dessert. Pistachio cardamom ice cream! The very concept is fantastical. Other diners in the courtyard were obviously enjoying their Laili favorites—the huge fragrant pasta dishes looked incredibly tempting. Maybe next time. The Laili courtyard reinvents our Mediterranean climate into a culinary experience. lailirestaurant.com.

Outdoors at Laili, Persian New Year at Joze BY CHRISTINA WATERS

M

any an atrium in Rome would envy the courtyard of Laili. Atmospheric and cosmopolitan, the long outdoor seating area is well appointed with heat lamps and enclosed by vine-covered walls. In short, this al fresco dining spot is romantic, spacious, and allows for comfortable conversation. Don’t even think about dining indoors during prime time. You want to be in that chic courtyard. Naturally, this is where we head every time we dine at Laili, where recently we enjoyed two dinners. Four of us shared a bottle of

Argentine Malbec, robust enough to partner with the compelling seasonings of Laili specialties. After arduous research we have discovered that the Mendoza Malbec 2012 ($9 glass/$36 bottle) offers enough big fruit and rounded tannins to flatter every single dish on the menu. It’s our go-to wine at Laili. We always start with the Mediterranean Plate ($8). Its sensuous hummus, minty tabbouleh, and a babaghanoush that is superior to any other version I’ve tasted, were inhaled by the four of us, aided by earthy warm lavosh. The kabob platters have long been our favorites. For me, the outstanding filet mignon ($25),

perfectly grilled (rare!) and served with those addictive chutneys and jalapeño-inflected sauce and qurut yogurt. My sweetie looks forward to the lamb tenderloin skewer ($25) served with the same sauces, kabuli rice and an exotic vegetable melange of okra and parsnip. The unusual vegetables work beautifully with the supple, delicious grilled meat. A companion also ordered the beet salad; beets on a bed of wild arugula, with goat cheese and honey-dijon vinaigrette. She asked for the addition of grilled prawns with her salad ($18). The result was a fragrant and visually dazzling plate of crimson ingredients,

Speaking of cardamom and chutney, last week’s Now Rooz Persian New Year’s banquet at India Joze delivered all of the expert artistry one of our finest chefs can finesse. From the opening celestial mango and red pepper chutney to tiny thimbles of cool green pea soup to finales of various baklavas, cookies and tea, the feast was memorable. In addition to the flash-fried kale and parsnip chips, the huge bowls of pistachios and almonds, appetizers included warm naan, sliced beef with chutney and goose liver paté. Each table was adorned with huge (very huge) platters of fresh herbs, and cilantros and mints to be eaten with each course. I loved the spiced beef and aromatic fish in saffron rice, but my favorite course (after the rack of lamb) was duck in pomegranate sauce. Kudos to Jozseph Schultz, who continues to astonish (and deserves a better venue), and to the mesmerizing House of Ilanna dancers, who kept us enthralled with finger cymbals and graceful gyrations while the chef whipped up yet more Persian specialties.

Twisted Roots Vineyard BY JOSIE COWDEN

good way to experience Twisted Roots’ wine is with a stay at Vendange Inn & Suites in Carmel. It’s actually California’s first wine-themed inn, and Twisted Roots wine club members get 25 percent off their stay. Vendange General Manager Jonathan Lee came up with the brilliant idea of partnering with local wineries to showcase their wines, and he has named suites and other rooms after them. McIntyre, Ventana, Joullian, Galante, J. Lohr, Manzoni, Dawn’s Dream, Tudor, Holman Ranch, Blair, Cima Collina and Twisted Roots are all featured wineries in Vendange. Selections of these excellent wines await you in each room—should you feel like cracking open a bottle—giving guests an opportunity to taste them all. If you’re not staying at Vendange, then head to Twisted Roots’ tasting room in Carmel Valley. I especially recommend their 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon—a very robust mouthful of Cab with nuances of vanilla and black currant. Grapes for this wine are harvested in the warm climes of Lodi, resulting in very luscious aromas of warm brambleberry, with black tea and clove on the palate. Its finish of bright cherry fruits makes this a delightful pairing with most foods. Twisted Roots’ tasting room is a fun place to visit. Connected to the LyonsHead Gallery, which displays an abundance of artwork and nifty things to buy, you can take your glass of wine with you as you meander through. Also, right next door to the tasting room is the well-known Café Rustica, and Twisted Roots’ winemaker Josh Ruiz says that their

customers who need sustenance with their wine can order food from the café at lunchtime and have it delivered to the winery’s patio—a pleasant spot to sit on warm days. Vendange Carmel, 24815 Carpenter St., Carmel, 831-624-5111. vendangecarmel. com. Twisted Roots Wine, 12 Del Fino Place, Carmel Valley, 831-594-8282. twistedrootsvineyard.com. Open noon to 5 p.m. Friday to Sunday.

ZIZZO’S COFFEEHOUSE & WINE BAR Co-owners Christine SheltonAnderson and her husband Aaron Anderson unveiled their brand new wine bar in Capitola at the end of March—a beautiful extension of their cozy coffeehouse. I attended the grand opening event – complete with music, food, wine, and the revelation of Zizzo’s “fabulously oversized” mirror ball. Vino Zizzo is your new place to “wine down” at the end of the day. Tapas-style small plates can be ordered to enjoy with your wine. Brown Ranch Marketplace, 3555 Clares St., Capitola, 477-0680. zizzoscoffee.com.

MAHARAJA INDIAN RESTAURANT As the lengthy Best Of issue went to press in March, delicious food was delivered to the Good Times offices from Maharaja. We all enjoyed every mouthful of excellent Indian cuisine infused with exotic aromatic spices. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is heavenly.

GT: What can people expect at one of your pop-ups? ZACHARY MAZI: There’s something that happens when you’re in that state of unexpected excellence that people’s walls really come down. The conversations are really rich. People often end up sitting next to strangers. It’s a neat thing to watch. It engenders communication that wouldn’t otherwise be there. We’ve had people leave there with new friendships and business relationships. We’d like to get to the point where we can actually select the people that are coming to the dinner to really promote these

conversations, almost like a think tank at the dinner table. It’s almost a social experiment.

What do you have planned for April 11? This one happens to be a seafoodheavy Mediterranean meal. I went to a pop-up last week with the most phenomenal plating I’ve ever seen— just beautiful. This pop up, we’re really going to focus on the way we plate food and really get into a more artistic approach. I wouldn’t say any dishes in particular are surprising as much as I think the plating is going to be really cool.

On your website you refer to your creations as “sexy food.” We’re trying to appeal to a younger demographic. It’s like you look at a plate of food and go, “Damn, that looks good!” You look at it, and it holds your attention, and it tastes marvelous. It’s sexy! On April 23, we’re doing a sensual journey of food. It’s going to be really experiential and the textures and flavors, what’s tantalizing and a turn on about food. There’s no limit to what we can do.

ionFish Supperclub Chef Zachary Mazi and owner Tighe Melville like to experiment, adhering to no specific cuisine or cooking style except simply “farm to fork.” So they’ve thrived in the increasingly popular pop-up scene, which is giving restaurateurs a new freedom to create without having to adhere to a single brick-and-mortar concept. But while many pop-ups have a guerilla aesthetic, the LionFish Supperclub duo brings a refined finedining element to their events. Since starting late last year, they’ve put on 14, and their next is April 11. We spoke to Mazi about their ambitious vision for pop-up dining.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES JUPITER IN LEO—OUR GIFTS, TALENTS AND ABILITIES MANIFEST Jupiter turned direct Wednesday morning as Mercury joined Uranus in Aries—all things new, including the individual self, coming forth into the light of day. Mercury/Uranus informs us we are different and thus have great tasks to accomplish in visualizing, building and creating the new culture and civilization. That time has come and that time is now. Jupiter’s passage through Leo is a specific time zone where we are to realize, recognize, expand and cultivate our talents and gifts which have purpose and design—they, too, are on a time schedule. Jupiter in Leo (Who am I? What are my gifts? How do I discover them? Does anyone see them? Are they important?) has been retrograde since April. We began 2015 with Jupiter retrograde in Leo. Retrograde’s tasks are of review, reassessment, renewal, refusal if need be, and rapprochement

(returning to what once left behind). As Jupiter was retrograde in Leo we were to focus on our gifts, discovering, recognizing and gathering them so that when Jupiter was once again moving forward (out into the world) we would be able to show them off for the world to see. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, a social planet, fusing and blending heart, mind and love. Jupiter is the heart of the Sun, Ray 2, distributing love and wisdom, shining brightness and love into the world. Jupiter creates synthesis, which love does for everything. Jupiter is the Lord of Wisdom in Sag, Lord of Love in Pisces. In our new Aquarian Age, Jupiter at its heart provides us with limitless blessings. In astrology charts, along with rising sign and north node, Jupiter reveals our spiritual purpose, showing us where in life our gifts stream forth.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You are participating in many realms, experiencing multiple realities. The energies are dynamic, contemplative, fiery and liquid, leading at times to excessive activities and the subtlest of blues. Attempt to focus within the heart of what matters. Then, in quietude, new ideas, not yet to be acted upon, come forth. Ask, “Are these for the goodwill of everyone?” The answer leads to the best course of action. The times are critical.

You continue to consider what you provide to others, especially those close to you. You also review your needs in relationships, acknowledging you’re happy. Know what you give you receive in return a hundredfold. It’s like tithing. You always seek harmony above conflict, along with ease, depth, more meaning, closeness amidst freedom. Is there someone in your life you have not forgiven? Or don’t understand?

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You’re always in serious study and research, sorting out historical, medical, scientific details, feelings, instincts, and intuitions. The main purpose is the discovery of the truth of what matters, the hidden essential depths. You counsel many others that the timing for action is not here yet, the true path isn’t discovered, the past isn’t reoriented. Moving forward without right direction or timing, you tell us, we lose our way.

Express yourself these weeks and months through your body—exercise, swimming, walking, running, dancing, taichi, yoga, boating, sports, etc. Expressing yourself through the body is most important for its movement that needs to occur. It will vitalize your blood, sustaining and stabilizing your highly emotional sensitivities. Past and present daily life stresses make escape necessary. Escape into exercise for ease, balance and equanimity to emerge.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Love often hides from others so you can bring it forth for everyone to see. Venus helps you assess wants, needs, and aspirations—yours and others. Certain pleasures are delayed until the right time for play comes forth. Everything’s astrological. Be aware of the spring festivals. Gemini is Ray 2 (Love/Wisdom). You are to radiate Ray 2 at the Festivals for humanity’s upliftment. Allow nothing to interrupt meditations.

Call forth your mind and spiritual will to focus on two life needs—creativity and health. Think prevention first. It’s most important to enjoy yourself. This brings forth health and expanded creativity. Cultivate confidence in your intelligence, planning, humor and being mindful. Your communication uplifts and strengthens others. Ponder this during the spring festival. It’s a most subtle yet potent time for you.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Anything unresolved with those close to you reappears. Jupiter attempts to unlock and bring forth great love through you into the world. Therefore, what’s unresolved must be healed before being set aside. Connect with everyone with grace and equanimity. Remember, “Love underlies all happenings.” Life creates meaningful encounters through testing, so that we are strengthened and made whole again.

As you tend to needed domestic (home, family) responsibilities you can sense the deep transformations occurring within. Pluto is bringing forth the great change. Pluto can be a taskmaster. Be careful to care for yourself during these times of change. Rest is important. Careful with impatience and communication—saying words you regret later. Don’t work to the point of exhaustion. You are Persephone emerging into the springtime during the Festivals.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

You might need a spaceship to navigate the fires of expansion (Jupiter) and change occurring in your life. See yourself at a seashore building a fire at water’s edge. Contemplate both elements; fire and water. When joined together, new realities, directions and abilities emerge. You’re challenged to maintain equanimity, a steady course when emotions overwhelm. You can do this. Someone’s love steadies you.

Careful with Right Communication and Right Use of Money. Maintain financial limits, yet give where needed. Right Actions and Right Discipline allows the intuition to emerge. With no discipline intuition has nothing to focus upon. Give more. Then more will be given, and more asked of you. Both must occur. Think on your life and the goodness it provides. This goodness is to be shared.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You’re to be extra practical and creative with money and finances, especially those held in common with another. And with day-to-day events, plans, connections and agendas. Focus on how to bring balance and harmony, caution and care into all situations, especially those veiled and hidden. The month brings paradoxes and polarities. Stand in the middle where the light is. This is your new journey.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In the coming months although you may feel somewhat disoriented and dizzy, Neptune’s reorientation, you will also come to a great awareness of yourself, the Vestaself—the fiery hidden parts of ourselves. You will also continue be acquainted with your wounds. Knowledge of them will deepen over time, until they become the ways you help heal the world. Tend to resources with mindfulness. Everything is a resource. You included.
