OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE Every week in these pages, we report on how Santa Cruz is struggling to deal with issues like affordable housing and traffic and environmental conservation and water, and it can be easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. It’s remarkable how often the questions around these issues boil down to one question, which is: How will we grow? Jacob Pierce’s cover story this week tackles that question head on, and this
is a critical time for answering it. The current shift in philosophy toward denser growth is something Santa Cruz has been slow to embrace, while it took off in other cities. As we set the development agenda for the next two decades, some people are not going to be happy with what amounts to the admission that we are an urban center, and one that’s only going to get bigger. Others will say we’re just coming out of denial, letting go of the cozy beach town fantasy we hold on to even as we grapple with more and more big-city problems. One thing’s for sure: if you want a say in how Santa Cruz is going to look in 2030, the time to act is now. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Re: “New Foundation”: Wow, 1,300 new housing units, 40 percent to be affordable. Affordable for whom? I have neighbors who were born and raised here who cannot afford to live here and are still sharing their parents’ homes. There should be a list established for affordable housing. These kids (now adults) and those who have lived here the longest should go to the top of the list. Mr. Dwire mentions the 10 new homes in the Aptos Village Project that will be (classified as) affordable, but fails to say that these units will be rented at market prices for at least the first seven years. Zach Friend must have failed to tell him that. Is this part of Mr. Friend’s “shared sacrifice” idea? We residents of Aptos ought to incorporate so that we would have more to say about what goes on in our community. Perhaps the most important factor in this issue, however, appears in the article only once. WATER. The water district has been in a critical overdraft situation for nearly two years. 1,300 new homes will mean 4,000-5,000 more residents running water down the drain waiting for the hot water to appear or otherwise wasting it. No mention of where the water will come from. And there will be 2,0003,000 more cars coming and going at all hours. Please don't insult me by saying that the new developments will result in

A new trolley-operating company was approved by the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission in February, and has been operating test runs. Unlike the bus trolley that shuttles people from the beach to downtown and back, this is an actual train trolley named “Daisy” that travels from Santa Cruz all the way up to Bonny Doon Beach. Daisy is green with brown trim. She is small and cute for a trolley, and needless to say, she likes long strolls on the beach.
Government officials are getting together to recognize a local effort to remove and replace 15,000 square feet of grass turf at the Watsonville Health Center on Monday, April 18 at 1 p.m. The drought-tolerant effort will save an estimated 350,000 gallons of water annually. A crew of California Conservation Corps members will be on hand. For information on saving water, visit watersavingtips.org or santacruz. watersavingplants.com.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19
LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free,” said novelist Ralph Ellison. Would you consider making that a paramount theme in the coming weeks? Will you keep it in the forefront of your mind, and be vigilant for juicy clues that might show up in the experiences headed your way? In suggesting that you do, I’m not guaranteeing that you will gather numerous extravagant insights about your true identity and thereby achieve a blissful eruption of total liberation. But I suspect that at the very least you will understand previously hidden mysteries about your primal nature. And as they come into focus, you will indeed be led in the direction of cathartic emancipation.
Adyashanti is my favorite mind-scrambling philosopher. One of his doses of crazy wisdom is just what you need to hear right now. “Whatever you resist you become,” he says. “If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion, you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.” Can you wrap your imagination around Adyashanti’s counsel, Libra? I hope so, because the key to dissipating at least some of the dicey stuff that has been tweaking you lately is to STOP RESISTING IT!
TAURUS Apr20–May20
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
“We never know the wine we are becoming while we are being crushed like grapes,” said author Henri Nouwen. I don’t think that’s true in your case, Taurus. Any minute now, you could get a clear intuition about what wine you will ultimately turn into once the grape-crushing stage ends. So my advice is to expect that clear intuition. Once you’re in possession of it, I bet the crushing will begin to feel more like a massage—maybe even a series of strong but tender caresses.
During every election season, media pundits exult in criticizing candidates who have altered their opinions about important issues. This puzzles me. In my understanding, an intelligent human is always learning new information about how the world works, and is therefore constantly evolving his or her beliefs and ideas. I don’t trust people who stubbornly cling to all of their musty dogmas. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an especially ripe time for you to change your mind about a few things, some of them rather important. Be alert for the cues and clues that will activate dormant aspects of your wisdom. Be eager to see further and deeper.
GEMINI May21–June20 Your sustaining mantra for the coming weeks comes from Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer: “I am not empty; I am open.” Say that aloud whenever you’re inclined to feel lonely or lost. “I am not empty; I am open.” Whisper it to yourself as you wonder about the things that used to be important but no longer are. “I am not empty; I am open.” Allow it to loop through your imagination like a catchy song lyric whenever you’re tempted to feel melancholy about vanished certainties or unavailable stabilizers or missing fillers. “I am not empty; I am open.”
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are close to tapping into hidden powers, dormant talents, and future knowledge. Truths that have been off-limits are on the verge of catching your attention and revealing themselves. Secrets you have been concealing from yourself are ready to be plucked and transformed. And now I will tell you a trick you can use that will enable you to fully cash in on these pregnant possibilities: Don’t adopt a passive wait-and-see attitude. Don’t expect everything to happen on its own. Instead, be a willful magician who aggressively collects and activates the potential gifts.

This would be a perfect moment to give yourself a new nickname like “Sugar Pepper” or “Honey Chili” or “Itchy Sweet.” It’s also a favorable time to explore the joys of running in slow motion or getting a tattoo of a fierce howling bunny or having gentle sex standing up. This phase of your cycle is most likely to unfold with maximum effectiveness if you play along with its complicated, sometimes paradoxical twists and turns. The more willing you are to celebrate life’s riddles as blessings in disguise, the more likely you’ll be to use the riddles to your advantage.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Right about now you might be feeling a bit extreme, maybe even zealous or melodramatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were tempted to make outlandish expostulations similar to those that the poet Arthur Rimbaud articulated in one of his histrionic poems: “What beast must I worship? What sacred images should I destroy? What hearts shall I break? What lies am I supposed to believe?” I encourage you to articulate salty sentiments like these in the coming days— with the understanding that by venting your intensity you won’t need to actually act it all out in real life. In other words, allow your fantasy life and creative artistry to be boisterous outlets for emotions that shouldn’t necessarily get translated into literal behavior.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Friedrich Nietzsche published his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, in 1872, when he was 28 years old. In 1886, he put out a revised edition that included a preface entitled “An Attempt at Self-Criticism.” In this unprecedented essay, he said that he now found his text “clumsy and embarrassing, its images frenzied and confused, sentimental, uneven in pace, so sure of its convictions that it is above any need for proof.” And yet he also glorified The Birth of Tragedy, praising it for its powerful impact on the world, for its “strange knack of seeking out its fellow-revelers and enticing them on to new secret paths and dancing-places.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to engage in an equally brave and celebratory re-evaluation of some of your earlier life and work.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “Go back to where you started and learn to love it more.” So advised Thaddeus Golas in his book The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment. I think that’s exactly what you should do right now, Capricorn. To undertake such a quest would reap long-lasting benefits. Here’s what I propose: First, identify three dreams that are important for your future. Next, brainstorm about how you could return to the roots of your relationships with them. Finally, reinvigorate your love for those dreams. Supercharge your excitement about them.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “What am I doing here in mid-air?” asks Ted Hughes in his poem “Wodwo.” Right about now you might have an urge to wonder that yourself. The challenging part of your situation is that you’re unanchored, unable to find a firm footing. The fun part is that you have an unusual amount of leeway to improvise and experiment. Here’s a suggestion: Why not focus on the fun part for now? You just may find that doing so will minimize the unsettled feelings. I suspect that as a result you will also be able to accomplish some interesting and unexpected work.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 How many fireflies would you have to gather together in order to create a light as bright as the sun? Entomologist Cole Gilbert estimates the number to be 14,286,000,000. That’s probably beyond your ability to accomplish, Pisces, so I don’t recommend you attempt it. But I bet you could pull off a more modest feat with a similar theme: accumulating a lot of small influences that add up to a big effect. Now is an excellent time to capitalize on the power of gradual, incremental progress.
Homework: Let’s meet in dreams sometime soon. Describe to me the adventures you’d like us to have together. FreeWillAstrology.com.

OPINION

RE: ‘TICKET SNUB’ For some landlords, Section 8 is a hassle. The Section 8 program requires landlords to complete an application and provide personal information. There is also a housing authority inspection. If that is OK, then landlords sign a contract with the Housing Authority, which is a Federal program. The landlord also has a separate lease agreement with the tenant. Also, the
landlord needs to go through an annual re-certification process and inspection. Section 8 evictions require the landlord to take judicial action, and this costs money and requires an attorney. The Section 8 program will not assist landlords in getting unpaid rent or with any damages done to property. So here’s to making the system simpler. — P. NELL

Support network helps spouses heal after partners come out BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

wo notebooks, brimming with secrets, sat for years in a drawer under gift wrap and ribbons. Beside them, a manila envelope stuffed with phone records, hotel bills and receipts. “I didn’t know what it was, but I knew it was for me,” says Alison, who asked to withhold her surname for privacy’s sake. “It seemed like God lined up a sequence of events that led me to my mom’s diaries at that moment. I wouldn’t have been able to handle them any sooner.” A few years ago, she continues
telling her support group, mid-life soul-searching led her spouse, who was adopted as a baby, to reconnect with his birth parents. Tragedy followed. His mom died; then Alison’s. A year-and-a-half later, while discussing how one of their sons might be gay, her husband of two decades came out of the closet. “Several things in a short span of time really rocked my foundation,” Alison tells the six people gathered for a recent Straight Spouse Network meeting in Sunnyvale. “We tried everything.” They went
to couples therapy and opened the marriage to other partners. That, too, fell apart. They now take turns staying at the home they once shared to spend time with their three school-age children. That the journals turned up just a week ago seems, to Alison, divinely timed. When her dad asked for help moving steel cabinets from one room to another, she dismantled them drawer-by-drawer to shoulder the weight. One tray held her mother’s handwritten notes and a

Tatanka Bricca knew Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta through United Farm Workers (UFW) more than four decades ago, and helped coordinate a lettuce boycott throughout Northern California. Today, he’s walking across the parking lot for Driscoll’s corporate headquarters in Watsonville at 11:40 a.m. with a cardboard sign that reads “STOP Inhumane Production Standards.” It’s Thursday, March 31, and Bricca, a 71-year-old Ben Lomond resident, learned about the day’s protest from local organizers and says he felt drawn to it because of the conditions that workers face in the field everyday. Even in 2016, Bricca notes, the average life expectancy of a field worker is 49 years, 24 years shorter than the average American, according to the UFW. “It’s a living wage. It’s pesticides. It’s all the basic human rights,” says Bricca. In the distance, chants of “Boycott Driscoll’s!” filter in and grow louder as a group of activists rounds the corner of Westridge Avenue, off Harkins Slough Road. “Stop the exploitation! We want union contracts!” organizer Ramon Torres shouts at the company’s brown, one-story corporate buildings in front of him a few minutes later. Torres is yelling via translator Andrew Eckels, both of them gripping megaphones. The rally is for Familias Unidas por la Justicia, an independent farmworker union based in Northern Washington that is calling for a boycott of the nation’s biggest berry supplier. Torres is the union’s leader, and Eckels is one of many volunteers. Torres tells the crowd that pickers at his former employer Sakuma Brothers Farm, a supplier of Driscoll’s, routinely make less than minimum wage, which is $9.47 in the state of Washington. Representatives from both Driscoll’s and Sakuma deny those claims, saying that workers are actually paid above market rates for their work. Sakuma spokesperson Roger Van Oosten says the company’s farmworkers make an average hourly wage of $17.50, and the top pickers often reach $40 an hour at the peak of the harvest. “You have to pay them well, or they won’t come,” Van Oosten says, noting that >14

NEWS STRAIGHT STORY <11 dossier on her husband—Alison’s father—that marked his comings, goings and phone calls. The diaries echoed Alison’s journey these past few years. Her mom, she realized, had battled the same suspicions, heartbreak and grief a generation before her. In hindsight, the clues stand in sharp relief: the emotional distance between her parents, the inseparability of her dad’s male friends. “When my husband came out, he told me he sensed that my father is gay, too,” she says. “Now I know my mom knew.” As a retired nurse and grief counselor, Joyce Miller knows about loss, though she has never gone through the kind that brings people to the Straight Spouse Network. For 19 years, she has guided jilted spouses through this singular kind of heartbreak. When one of her sons came out in the 1980s, Miller embraced him but wondered how something so inextricably linked to his identity escaped her notice. In his honor, she became a devoted ally to the LGBT community. She marched in a parade with a sign that read, “I love my gay son.” She began volunteering for the nonprofit Parents, Families and
Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). “That was the beginning of parents sticking up for their gay kids,” says Miller, who is slight and meticulously kempt, her white hair cropped close in a pixie. “But while some people were celebrating the fact that they had gay kids, I began hearing about these straight spouses who weren’t seeing a reason to celebrate.” Social, religious and family pressures have forced men and women into the closet from time immemorial. As growing acceptance and landmark victories—such as last year’s Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex unions—embolden more people to claim their true identities, that sometimes means leaving a straight partner behind.
SANTA CRUZ SUPPORT For spouses in Santa Cruz, PFLAG’s local chapter provides a network of family members, friends, and anyone who has had similar experiences, says PFLAG Santa Cruz County president, Neal Savage. “It creates a normality around the situation because most of us grew up in a heteronormative society, and when you realize it’s not that homogeneous, you can deal with differences,” says Savage. There are a variety of groups for
locals, he says, like LMFT Deb Abbott’s TransLove Support Group Santa Cruz, and Edie Frederic’s Rainbow Speakers and Friends in Carmel. On the cultural front, these relationships between straights, gays, lesbians, and transgender men and women have figured into Netflix shows Frankie and Grace and Orange is the New Black and Caitlin Jenner’s real-life coming-out. Amity Pierce Buxton founded the Straight Spouse Network 30 years ago in Oakland after the father of her two children and husband of 25 years came out as gay. For a time, Miller had PFLAG direct the straight spouse hotline to her personal phone and would send people to Buxton’s support groups. She eventually realized that Silicon Valley needed its own chapter and began hosting meetings in her Sunnyvale home. By Buxton’s count, about 2 million American couples find themselves in Alison’s quandary, though stigma and denial make it tough to get an exact number. People marry mismatched partners for complex reasons that may include discrimination but also real affection, wishful thinking and the shape-shifting ambiguities of sexual attraction. Still, the split can send the abandoned spouse into a >16

and middle schoolers. The building has 22 classrooms, including a music room, art room, computer lab, and science lab. Two office suites and a two-story outdoor amphitheater are part of the project as well. The construction is part of the church’s “2020 Vision” initiative, which extends all the way to Chennai, India, where Twin Lakes Church is building a medical clinic. The church has a tradition of building a facility in the developing world every time it expands, Pastor Rene Schlaepfer says. JACOB PIERCE

It was the end of an era for local radio when legendary bluegrass lover Cousin Al signed off of a farewell broadcast show on KPIG 107.5 FM for what may have been the last time on Sunday, April 10. The show was a special edition of the weekly morning show “Please Stand By.” For a unique bluegrass-y installment, host “Sleepy” John Sandidge welcomed in old friends, including his former co-host Dave Bob Nielsen, and Al, whose real name is apparently Al Knoth. Al got plenty of love, with Nielsen reading letters from
all across the nation, including one from songwriter “Dr.” Elmo Shropshire, who penned the hit Christmas song “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.” When Nielsen asked Al on air if he was ready to say goodbye, he responded saying, “Well, no, but I just want to say, ‘I had a good time.’” In the past year, Al had stopped doing “Cousin Al’s Bluegrass Show” on KPIG every Sunday night, as well as his Monday Night bluegrass show on KKUP in Cupertino due to health issues. According to his Facebook fan page, he had triple bypass surgery in December 2014.

PRODUCE STANDOFF <11 there has been a shortage of farmworkers nationwide in the past year. “Why would they bother, unless compensation is high?” Farmworkers in Washington only have a limited right to organize, Sakuma’s owners don’t have to recognize Familias Unidas, and, for the most part, they don’t. Recognized or not, there is a lot of history between Torres and his old bosses. Torres was arrested following a domestic violence dispute with his wife in August 2013, while he was living at Sakuma’s farmworker housing. Van Oosten says the company fired him because of the incident, based on both company policy and neighbor complaints. He says Torres’ decision to take his boycott on the road is simply an act of retaliation.
Torres contends that he was really fired for pressuring Sakuma to improve its conditions and that the boycott is solely about what farmworkers go through. Van Oosten says that Torres’ West Coast tour, which went through Oregon, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, and Los Angeles, does not speak for farmworkers, who he says are happy at Sakuma. In addition to Torres, the group of protesters includes one current Sakuma farmworker and a handful of supporters. Along their journey, they have opened up not just about their struggles, but about their successes, too. Sakuma farmworkers won an $850,000 settlement in 2014 against their employer for unpaid time, and living conditions were also poor at the time. Soren Bjorn, an executive vice president at Driscoll’s, says that Sakuma’s farmworker housing was also substandard,
but stresses that Sakuma has since made big improvements after working with Driscoll’s. Driscoll’s has a rigorous auditing process, Bjorn explains, for food quality and safety, as well as for worker welfare. “The pay is very, very competitive,” he adds. “It is probably among the very best.” Bjorn suggests the protests happening now stem mostly from leftover resentment at the conditions in 2013, and Torres would not argue with that. “Yes, exactly,” Torres says of the fight for better conditions. “And the only way that we can make sure this continues is that we have it under a union contract.” In Sakuma’s farmworker housing, Torres says that only a few years ago, tenants’ beds were nothing more than torn mattresses sitting on the ground, with cockroaches and rats crawling in and out. When it rained, he
explains, all of the cabins would leak. Without a union contract, Torres fears that bosses will soon start making the same violations they were getting away with before. He also feels that Driscoll’s is taking credit for the hard work of organizers who brought Sakuma’s violations to light. If Driscoll’s’ audits are so complete, he wonders, how did Sakuma get away with providing poor housing and docking pay for so long? Torres, who raises money for Familias Unidas through fundraising and selling T-shirts, says he wants to secure health care and retirement plans for the people in the field to give them a better life before it’s too late. “If we continue this way, you’re only going to live up to 49 years old, because you spend so much energy,” Torres tells GT via an interpreter. “That’s something, with a union, we want to change.”

crisis of identity and faith in their own judgment. “Before every rainbow, there is a storm,” Miller often says. When Alison reveals her family secret, her support group peers— who asked to use pseudonyms to protect their families from gossip— widen their eyes. “They say children are drawn to men who are similar to their father,” says David, who sits just left of Alison at Miller’s dining room table. “Maybe there was something there that made you feel comfortable with your husband.” Alison nods. “I mean, when I look at a woman now, I’m cautious,” continues David, who lost his pastor wife to another woman in the church choir. “I think, ‘Is she gay or is she straight?’” “Me, too,” says Mary, a British ex-pat whose Orthodox Jewish ex-husband lived a double life, dating similarly closeted husbands for decades before their split. “I mean, what if there’s something about me that’s attracted to gay men?” Evelyn, who warns the group that she can only talk about this with a heavy dose of expletives, shakes her head. “But we had sex all the time,” she says in exasperation, adding that she enjoyed 20-some-odd years of relative bliss before her ex’s jarring pronouncement right before her 50th birthday. “That was never a problem. How do you fake that? I don’t know. I really don’t." That may be the most difficult part to understand, Mary says. She often wondered whether her husband willed his erections by thinking of other men. Alison says her focus has shifted from obsessing about her ex to finding her own happiness. “I do believe my mom came to this group,” she says. “That would have been around 2000.” Miller tells Alison to bring a photo of her mom next time. Maybe it will jog her memory. Additional reporting by AnneMarie Harrison.

EXPANSION PACK The city plans to increase density on major streets over the next two decades. How much is too much? BY JACOB PIERCE
A
The basic idea behind the corridor plan is simple: Encourage taller, denser buildings, retail, and housing development along the city’s four biggest streets—Mission Street, Water Street, Ocean Street and Soquel Avenue. Kennedy says the city is bound to grow no matter what, and the corridor plan offers the city a way to do it with a smaller carbon footprint. It encourages apartments in pedestrian-friendly areas with access to transit routes, and it should have less impact on quaint residential neighborhoods. As people of all ages get priced out of Santa Cruz, he feels, the plan is the best way to meet the city’s housing demand. “We need more businesses for economic growth, and more housing, so that younger people can afford to live in this town,” says Kennedy, who also serves on the Corridor Advisory Committee. “Simultaneously, we all face horrible traffic. That’s the trick with that. Yep, we’re going to continue to have bad traffic, and we still need to make small apartments, so that those kids who come out of UCSC with a great idea can actually stay here, do their startup and bring the money home to Santa Cruz. It’s so hard for people to get in here housing-wise.”
GROWTH SPURT Candace Lynn Brown stands behind
a camcorder on a tripod at a recent Corridor Advisory Committee meeting, swiveling the camera from the Power Point presentation to the commission to the audience. Brown, a resident of Santa Cruz’s East Morrissey neighborhood, has been sharing the videos to get the word out about the plan. She worries about what it will do to parking and traffic around Soquel Avenue, a few blocks from her home. The pros and cons of the issue are complex, Brown admits—for instance, her property values could climb if intersections on the Eastside and in Midtown became hubs of activity. “But then you look at the density implications, wondering what’s that going to do to the neighborhoods, because they’re very well established,” she says. “Are people going to stay in these neighborhoods? Some of these units are 700 or 400 square feet. They’re very, very small. You might live in it for a few years, or you might even try to rent it, but it’s not going to have the established feeling of the neighborhood that is there now. It’s going to have a big impact. And I’m not just talking density, I’m talking just in terms of community.” Then, Brown says, there are the traffic woes. Already, cars inch along during rush hour in her neighborhood. On Friday afternoons, the traffic along

small group of cyclists pedal past pedestrians who are chatting at the outdoor seating area of a Soquel Avenue café on a Friday evening. The bikers whiz past traffic toward a bustling corner of Seabright Avenue, where a small grocery store takes up the ground floor of a new five-story apartment complex, with a community garden in the back and a car sharing station in the basement, filled with an eclectic mix of Santa Cruz locals and twenty-somethings. The year is, let’s say, 2040, and in this scenario, the Santa Cruz Transit Corridor Zoning Update has been in place for a couple of decades, incentivizing what planners call sustainable or “smart growth” up and down the city’s thoroughfares. The image is a rough sketch of what many city leaders hope to accomplish with a new corridor update for streets like Soquel Avenue. Along the way, cyclists are parking their bikes to stop in at boutiques and cafes that line the street. “It’s so good for small business,” says Peter Kennedy, a Santa Cruz planning commissioner, of the corridor plan. “This whole parking lot mentality is old news, but you go down Soquel [today], and that’s what you see: the Ford dealership, the Nissan dealership. It’s still very much built on that auto row mentality.”

The basic idea behind the corridor plan is simple: Encourage taller, denser buildings, retail, and housing development along the city’s four biggest streets—Mission Street, Water Street, Ocean Street and Soquel Avenue. <19 Soquel Avenue grinds to a gridlocklike crawl, just as the traffic on Ocean Street does every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Brown notes that three of the four planned corridors are east of downtown, and worries that the Eastside would bear the brunt of new development under the corridor plan, which is slated to go to the city’s planning commission next, and then the Santa Cruz City Council. She would rather see more new housing be on the Westside, close to UCSC—a notion that others are quick to bring up at public meetings. “I want to bring up the concept of fairness,” Deborah Marks, who lives near Ocean and Water streets, tells the Corridor Advisory Committee. “If you have a neighborhood, like mine—single family homes—and we get surrounded because we’re near two corridors, it’s really going to be hell. And all the parking permits in the world aren’t going to help.” If city leaders do decide to incentivize building vibrant Eastside corridors, Brown would like to see them also put in ample parking structures, as planners did in Old Town Pasadena in Los Angeles County. No matter what, she’s worried about growing in a community that already teems with tourists for more than a quarter of the year. “We’re like a balloon. We double in the summer. We have to have a little bit of room to breathe,” Brown says of Santa Cruz, packing up her tripod
as people filter out of the meeting. “What’s going to happen if it’s full all the time? And then the tourists come in.”
SIZE MATTERS Santa Cruz city planner Michelle King takes the microphone to open up the fifth Corridor Advisory Committee meeting. It’s late March, and afternoon light floods the Louden Nelson Center Room, almost making silhouettes of the 12-person committee. “This is a start point, not an end point,” says King. “But we wanted to start somewhere and hear people’s thoughts.” During the meeting, Sophie Martin, an urban planning consultant, explains the differences between the four main land-use designations that are scattered across the city’s four corridors. The committee discusses how large the buildings should be, and how big they should appear to neighbors and people on the street. The plan is to bring newly constructed buildings 4 feet farther from the curb, allowing more space for pedestrians on the sidewalk. Upper stories will start even farther back from the curb to allow for a greater sense of space. During the presentation, audience members, many of them Eastside neighbors, raise their hands with questions, and Martin, who works with a San Francisco-based firm, pauses to answer each, one by one. King chimes in occasionally, offering to chat with neighbors about how a

<20 have to balance those things out.” To build one parking spot costs more than $15,000-$35,000, once you factor in construction, labor and land, according to planning experts like John Swift, a Santa Cruz developer who serves on the committee. Several committee members and King have said that permit parking would be the best way to protect neighborhoods from an onslaught of new cars, but neighbors balk at having to buy permits, which typically cost $25 annually per car. The committee will revisit parking discussions at its next meeting on Monday, April 18. Swift stresses that the general plan has already outlined Santa Cruz’s shift toward more density—a component of goals to lower greenhouse gas emissions—and says that density creates more interesting communities. “Do people go on vacation to Stockton or to Modesto? Some people do. I’m not trying to bash those places,” he says. “But do they go to Paris? Do they go to New York? I’m not saying we’re going to make a big city, but we have that vibrancy downtown, a mix of uses. Those kinds of place are more exciting to live in, as well as visit.” Swift says it has always been difficult to get good housing built in

certain provision might affect their area. At times, the meeting is tense and at other times, heated. At one point, when several committee members take turns talking about the importance of affordable housing, one woman storms out of the room, calling the discussion “bullshit.” The plan—which was borne out of the 2030 general plan passed by the City Council four years ago—will call for consolidated development on certain “nodes,” major intersections stretching from the Westside Safeway to Soquel and Seabright avenues. Another 1.5 miles farther east, where Soquel Avenue crosses Highway 1, turning into Soquel Drive, the corridor enters unincorporated Santa Cruz County, where county planners have a similar, albeit less ambitious corridor plan called Sustainable Santa Cruz County. King says that with new construction buildings along the corridor, the changes could require developers to get creative. “If you’re near a bus line, could you build an affordable unit with less parking? “But then you also have to think: What kind of impact does that have on the neighborhood?” King tells GT. “That incentive might have a negative impact on the neighborhood.

We are by nature tribal and these were our junior high tribes. I dreaded lunch, I felt uncomfortable and didn’t like eating in public, couldn’t eat a hard-boiled egg or peanut butter or tuna!

<23 Santa Cruz due to a combination of red tape and neighborhood uproar. He’s “hopeful” but skeptical that the plan will change anything. He says that building small units for people who can live without a car is the best way to build affordable housing without any government subsidies. Part of the appeal of the corridor plan for some supporters is the opportunity for a vital corridor filled with new bike infrastructure for all residents to enjoy. But at the same time, Kennedy wants to be realistic about what kind of shift is really possible. “There’s great enthusiasm about people biking everywhere. Eh … I’m a car guy,” says Kennedy, who drives a Nissan electric LEAF. “What are you gonna get?—16 percent of people [riding], maybe 20 at the most? That’s great, let’s do that. But certain people are still gonna need a car. It’s not like this is going to solve all that. I think it will make it better. It’ll give developers much more flexibility in how they provide parking.” Kennedy is sitting down with GT for a latte at Fins Coffee on Ocean Street. He notes that the corridor’s model housing isn’t hard to find, as he spins around in his chair and looks out the window and across the avenue at 1111 Ocean St. It’s a small housing complex with a Southwestern feel, green balconies and planter boxes sitting on top of offices and retail on the ground floor. “Right there. Multistory residential above commercial 2.01w x 3.12h store fronts,” says Kennedy, who’s 1/12th page wearing a Stone Brewing T-shirt from a trip to San Diego last year. (The corridor plan, when finished, should allow for a project that is a couple of stories taller.) Kennedy works as a project manager for Bright Green Strategies, a company based just off Ocean Street that helps buildings earn environmental certifications. Building something in a walkable neighborhood, he says, is a big plus. Engineers, Kennedy explains, like to talk about “the triple bottom line”—people, profit, planet—
referring to something that’s for the world, good for business and good for community, health or a variety of other reasons. Some details have yet to be ironed out, of course. King has been talking to affordable housing advocates about the best ways to incentivize affordable housing. Many neighbors are also nervous about what the street design might look like along the corridors, another item that the committee is still discussing. “People who are building are going to make a profit,” Marks, one of the neighbors, said at the March corridor meeting. “They’re going to make a lot of money. I think they have a responsibility to make something that coexists with the feeling of the community.” Kennedy says that many developers may help to pay for neighborhood improvements, in order to get the community on their side, just as Safeway did in the side streets off Mission Street when the grocery chain remodeled its Westside location. He says neighbors should come forward and say what they want, so that city leaders can work it into the plan. For instance, traffic circles, speed bumps and permit parking on side streets, he says, could all lessen the corridor plan’s impact on local neighborhoods. Kennedy, whose late father Scott Kennedy twice served as mayor, in the 1990s and 2000s, learned about the art of compromise from having a little politics in the family. “What did dad used to say? ‘Think of the person you agree with the least and think of just one thing they would want that you could fit into the solution,’” Kennedy says. “That’s such a nice way to look at it, because you’re never going to make everybody happy.” The sixth Corridor Advisory Committee meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 18 at the Louden Nelson Community Center. The meeting will cover topics like zoning changes, parking and open space and landscaping.

That was the mood in New York City in 1980, when artists and writers were squatting in seedy lofts and gentrification was only hinting at its ravenous appetite for real estate. Here you could bump into emerging artists like Keith Haring tagging a subway wall, or
Jean-Michel Basquiat morphing from hip-hop and graffiti to shows at the Whitney Museum. In Molly Prentiss’ debut novel, Tuesday Nights in 1980, New York City unfolds in all its gritty glory as we follow the pivotal moments that redefined art itself, along with
three main characters: an art critic with synesthesia, an emerging painter escaped from Argentina’s dirty war, and their muse Lucy, a small-town beauty hungry for experience. As their lives connect and collide, we’re struck by the tangled ties between people >26

“I think an essential part of making art is getting to some core you believe in, touching something inside yourself. That varies for everyone, but it’s a driving force, and what makes art successful. - MOLLY PRENTISS

and places, intellect and commerce, art and life. “The central question in the book is: how do you go on after the thing that defines you has been taken away?” says Prentiss. “I was interested in following the trajectory of what happens when things you’ve learned to rely on to define you personally, artistically and culturally, change.” When Prentiss comes to Bookshop Santa Cruz Thursday, it will be her dream come true—not just to have her debut novel published to glowing reviews or head out on a book tour, but to come to this bookstore, in this town. That’s because Prentiss is from La Selva Beach, and though she now lives in Brooklyn, New York, she will always consider Santa Cruz her true home. She grew up in a communal living situation where six adults and six kids shared a plot of land. Each family had an individual home, but they shared meals. “It was a very arts-focused and creative environment,” she says. “I think that that’s what made me interested in the lives of artists and the varied lifestyles that artists create. It influenced my book in that I think my book is about community. It’s about people finding new ways of living.” She remembers first moving to New York in 2006 and living in a big artists’ loft that was cheap and funky. “It reminded me of the artists’ squats I talk about in the book,” she says. “It wasn’t as violent or intense a time as New York in the ’70s and ’80s, but there was that feeling of possibility and electricity. Artists were still able
to live cheaply without working at day jobs the whole time. It’s changed since then.” She talks about the push and pull involved with trying to be an artist or creative type in the big city. “It’s hard, but also interesting. I think that was one of the reasons I was attracted to that moment when things were shifting.” Shift inevitably involves loss, and her characters are forced to wrestle with who they are in the wake of it. “I think an essential part of making art is getting to some core you believe in, touching something inside yourself,” she says. “That varies for everyone, but it’s a driving force, and what makes art successful. If you want it to be that close to you, a part of you, there’s a risk. Where does this thing you made start and where do you begin? Can you find the same sense of yourself or the world without it? It can be tricky.” When Prentiss leaves Santa Cruz, she’ll bring a plastic bag of succulents back to Brooklyn with her and plant them all over her apartment. She’ll have big group dinners with friends and commune around food, which reminds her of home. “I always thought I was growing up in an alternative kind of place where people were doing things differently, in cool and makeshift ways,” she says. She knows her life will change as her book is launched into the world, but she’s game to recreate it, because that’s what artists do. Molly Prentiss will read from and discuss her new book at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14, at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.

ARTFILES what I thought judges are supposed to do, which is to follow the laws and not to make up my own mind about what is the right and wrong law.” But I have some lines in the play like, “They’re not so different than us.” A black American soldier in the play says, “I wouldn’t be shocked if it happened here in the U.S.—I know these people. They’re in my hometown.” The first time I went to Europe and spoke with Germans about the Nazi period, many of them said, “Who are you to judge? Germans are at least grappling with our history. People from America have yet to do so.” GELBLUM: There’s a line in the play by the defense attorney saying to an American guard, “I could show you pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” Later, the general says, “Are we going to put Truman on trial for that?” and someone says, “Maybe we should.”

Trial Dates
L
ast year, 94-year-old Oscar Groening was sentenced to four years in prison for Nazi war crimes at Auschwitz. Just last week, the Guardian reported that the Associated Press cooperated with Hitler in the 1930s, including forwarding Nazi propaganda to U.S. newspapers. The question of how genocide and war should be judged— and who will do the judging—is as relevant as ever, and forms the basis of Judgment at Nuremberg, a play presented by the Cabrillo College Theatre Arts Department at the intimate Black Box Theatre in Aptos from April 15 to May 1. Judgment at Nuremberg was written in 1957 by Abby
Mann about the fictional 1948 trial of four German judges for complicity in Nazi atrocities. GT spoke with the play’s director Sarah Albertson and Peter Gelblum, an actor, attorney and chair of the Santa Cruz chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, who plays the role of Judge Haywood. Why are you producing this play now? SARAH ALBERTSON: A year ago I was watching the 1961 film version of Judgment at Nuremberg, and I was struck by how timely it was. The play focuses on Ernst Janning, a judge during the Nazi-era in Germany who is faced with a military tribunal for war crimes against humanity. When
I decided to do the play, we were watching on television the many refugees fleeing violence and heading to Germany and Europe. It struck me that that is so much in the atmosphere of the play—the exclusion of people due to ethnicity or religion. Watching the refugees from the Middle East brought me to this play, in a sense. The play raises questions about responsibility, retribution and which law and authority to follow. PETER GELBUM: There’s a lot of dialogue about all of those points in the play. We’ve added some lines to update the play. One of the four Nazi judges on trial says, “I was doing
Information continues to be revealed about Americans who cooperated with Hitler and profited from the Nazi war. The book ‘IBM and the Holocaust’ explains how they sold their business machines to Hitler during the Holocaust. GELBLUM: I didn’t know about IBM, but there is a reference in the script about American industrialists supporting Hitler. This production has quite a few Cabrillo College students in it and helping backstage, and I asked one of them what they’d learned about the Holocaust and they said, “We spend about five minutes on it.” They get statistics on the number of people killed, and that’s it. ‘Judgement at Nuremberg’ opens April 15 and runs through May 1.

Cabrillo’s revival of ‘Judgement at Nuremberg’ explores reconciliation for past war crimes BY JOHN MALKIN
ALBERTSON: When Abby Mann was writing this play in 1957 he said, “It was a breach of good manners to bring up the subject of German guilt for events during the Third Reich. There was a new crisis with the Russians and Germany was suddenly our new ally.” There was an effort by [President] Eisenhower to not have this play done. Initially it was a Playhouse 90 Production on live TV directed by George Roy Hill. There was this effort to wipe out this history even on our side.

WE GOT A WRIGHT Lizz Wright performs at the Kuumbwa on Saturday, April 16.
‘Freedom’ at Last APRIL 13-19, 2016 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Lizz Wright’s sound matures on new record BY ANDREW GILBERT
28
T
he farther Lizz Wright gets from her gospel roots, the more sustenance she seems to draw from the rich red soil of her native Georgia. Her new album Freedom & Surrender is the latest step on a journey that has taken the self-described “country jazz” vocalist with the molasses-steeped sound from her home in Atlanta to Brooklyn’s polyglot scene, where she’s absorbed a myriad of influences. Produced by Larry Klein, who’s responsible for memorable albums by artists such as Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Madeleine Peyroux, Herbie Hancock, Shawn Colvin, and Melody Gardot, Freedom & Surrender features an array of sensuous songs that promiscuously mingle soul, jazz and pop (including a haunting
version of Nick Drake’s “River Man” and a midnight-sultry take on the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody”). Part of what makes Wright such a powerful singer, aside from the sheer jaw-dropping beauty of her voice, is her gift for infusing even the earthiest material with a glint of the sublime. “Gospel music is, thankfully, an inescapable root that informs my approach to most everything,” says Wright, 36, who performs Saturday at Kuumbwa (a concert previously scheduled for the Rio Theatre). “Even more than a heaven-facing kind of blues, it’s about an earnestness that speaks of the tender resilience of the human spirit.” Since the release of her 2003 debut album Salt, Wright has forged creative alliances with a loose
confederation of similarly soulful artists, from singer/songwriter Toshi Reagon and bassist/composer Meshell Ndegeocello to violinist Regina Carter and vocalist Gregory Porter (who joins her on Freedom & Surrender on her amorously animated “Right Where You Are”). She’s worked with smart producers before. Drummer Brian Blade and keyboardist Jon Cowherd co-helmed her debut album, and the visionary Craig Street added gorgeous acoustic textures to her 2005 follow-up Dreaming Wide Awake and her sumptuous 2008 masterpiece The Orchard. For her new record, producer Larry Klein revealed a different facet of Wright’s sensibility, a sound sanctified and otherworldly. “As an artist, you feel throughout
the process that Larry’s offerings are at your service,” Wright says. “It’s possible to come out of a project with him feeling that you’re more of yourself than you were at the start.” Klein is most effective at framing her original songs, which predominate on the album. In many ways, composing is as foundational to her art as the church. Performing in choirs throughout grade school, she wrote her first song for her high-school graduation, where she was the ceremony’s featured performer. Jazz first caught her ear on the radio, particularly Marian McPartland’s award-winning NPR show Piano Jazz. “The thing that got me about jazz is that I heard a lot of the sounds and ideas I’d heard in church,” she says. “The soulfulness and the interpretation, just little riffs and ideas, it all sounded kind of familiar to me. But people were singing about other things, about secular life, and it really interested me.” Wright spent a year at Georgia State University in Atlanta majoring in music performance, but she wasn’t interested in studying classical music and the school didn’t have a jazz program. After a brief move to Macon, she came back to Atlanta and joined the jazz combo In the Spirit, a band of musicians who played in church on Sunday and worked on the jazz scene during the week. She first gained widespread notice in the summer of 2002 through her appearances at a series of Billie Holiday tribute concerts, making a lasting impression at Chicago’s Orchestra Hall with her soulinflected versions of Lady Day’s masochistic classic “Don’t Explain” and the tormented standard “I Cover the Waterfront.” A week later, she wowed the Hollywood Bowl. Still a work in progress, Wright continues to extend and deepen her sound via encounters with veteran masters, like a fateful backstage encounter with folk legend Odetta at a Carnegie Hall tribute to Nina Simone. “I’m a very independent spirit,” Wright says. “But I’m beginning to respect and understand the power of lineage.” INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, April 16. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $35. 427-2227.

SATURDAY 4/16 ‘EMERGENCY’ BY DANIEL BEATY AT UCSC “We can overcome if we change the way we see, see ourselves, see our past, see our possibility.” A slave ship sails in front of the Statue of Liberty and New York City is hurled into an explosive debate—it’s all embodied by Daniel Beaty who plays an entire cast of 40 characters including a Republican business executive, a street vendor, a scientist, a homeless man, and an 11-year-old boy. “Emergency” weaves the commentary of what it means to be free, what it means to be human, through the surreal happenings and varied testimonies. Beaty is an award-winning actor, singer, writer and composer who has received the NAACP Theater Award for Best Actor, the Scotsman Fringe First Award for best new writer, and the Lamplighter Award from the Black Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C, among others.

MUSIC CALENDAR
LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
ELLA & HENRY Husband and wife Ella and Henry Warde have been playing bluegrass together for a number of years. They played in the group Windy Hill, and also play with Larry Gillis and the Hard Driving Swampgrass Band. But they wanted to try something new, or rather old—namely, country music from the ’50s and ’60s, what they refer to as the genre’s “golden era.” They put together Ella & Henry and Their Fine Country Band to perform covers from this period, as well as some originals written in the same vein.
APRIL 13-19, 2016 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
“We’ve always reached back to the older music and just felt a connection to it. We try to carry on that tradition because we don’t want it to be lost or forgotten,” Henry says. “We just enjoy that, the simplicity of that older style, of not getting too far out, because people tend to go really far out and forgetting the roots. And we always love that roots music.”
38
Henry plays the acoustic guitar, Ella plays the fiddle, and both sing and harmonize. Their Fine Country Band includes Meghan Leslie on the upright bass, Curtis Leslie on the electric guitar, Dave Magram on the pedal steel, and James “Wheat Chex” Van Kol on drums. They’re big fans of the Bakersfield sound that, at the time, was rebelling against the high-production gloss of the Nashville machine. “We try to pay tribute to those artists,” Ella says. “You’d go to the honkytonk and you hear this music and it’s like, ‘Woah, let’s start dancing. This is dancing music.’” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 20. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.
BOOM TIC BOOM
WEDNESDAY 4/13 JAZZ
THE MATTSON 2 Identical twins that pull off Jedi mind tricks, wear cool retro suits and play surf music? Sounds like a formula to a really weird B-movie, but it’s actually a description of the Mattson 2—twins who share the last name Mattson, and seemingly read each other’s mind (at least when they jam). The brothers, one on drums, one on a sweet electric guitar/bass combo axe, play not just surf, but also spaced-out jazz—somehow all at once. It’s truly amazing to watch their genre-hopscotching and ninja-level chops. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/ door. 479-1854.
THURSDAY 4/14 FOLK
ELLIS PAUL Ellis Paul gets pigeonholed as a folk singer, but perhaps a more apt description would be “storyteller.” The sweet-voiced singer-songwriter
has a knack for blending his own experiences with larger issues we face as humans, finding the heart of the story within. Through tales of his own life, he paints pictures of a fast-moving world, the people in it, the challenges we face, and the connections we make. A veteran musician, Paul uses music to bridge divides between us and draw attention to our shared love and humanity. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.
JAZZ
BOOM TIC BOOM After establishing herself as one of jazz’s badass drummers in the late 1990s, Allison Miller started to earn respect as a smart and resourceful bandleader with her 2005 debut album 5am Stroll (Foxhaven Records). Her compositional voice took a left turn last year following the birth of her daughter, and her gorgeous new album Otis Was a Polar Bear (Royal Potato Family) supplies her remarkable band Boom Tic Boom with a program of playful, captivating and strikingly lyrical tunes. Featuring powerhouse
pianist Myra Melford, supremely versatile fiddler Jenny Scheinman, cornet poet Kirk Knuffke, clarinet hero Ben Goldberg, and bass maestro Todd Sickafoose, her sextet delivers more creative boom for the buck than just about any band in the business. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.
ALT-COUNTRY
CHUCK PROPHET Psych-pop, alternative-country singer-songwriter Chuck Prophet comes through town frequently, but he mixes it up a bit every time. This time he’s backed by his band the Mission Express, but more importantly he’s bringing cult icon Garland Jeffreys with him. (Jeffreys was Lou Reed’s college roommate, and he wrote “Wild in the Streets,” a ’70s rock tune that later became a skate-punk anthem.) Prophet will be playing a fun set of catchy rootslaced, experimental pop tunes. He and his band will also be backing Jeffreys, which should be incredible to see. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 4/16 WESTERN SWING
DON BURNHAM & THE BOLOS Leader of the California Western Swing band Lost Weekend, Don Burnham has four decades of singing, songwriting and performing under his belt. The one-time park ranger in Yosemite is the real-deal when it comes to the singing-cowboyunder-the-stars classic style, with sweet and lonesome lyrics and melodies to ride your horse to. His smaller
ensemble, the Bolos, comprises Charlie Wallace on steel guitar, Mark Holzinger on lead guitar, Karen Horner, stand-up bass and vocals, and, as a special treat for this performance, veteran pianist Scott Lawrence on keys. Word is that Santa Cruz’s own Carolyn Sills and Gerard Egan may sit in for a song or two. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel, $15. 477-1341.
BLUES-ROCK
PATRICK SWEANY Like the Black Keys, Patrick Sweany is one of those rare musicians who can bring the raw intensity of the blues to his music, but also a strong infectious pop accessibility. His songs are catchy, but not in that irritating Justin Bieber/Taylor Swift earworm kind of way. Indeed, getting a Sweany song stuck in your head is a pleasant experience. His secret is a diverse influence pool: folk, soul, bluegrass, rock ’n’ roll, and just being a great songwriter. But at the heart of it all are lots of blues licks and pop hooks. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/ door. 479-1854.
INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, May 7. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $16/adv, $18/door. 423-1338. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, April 15 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

Even the people who haven’t heard the name Pete Yorn definitely know his music. The New Jersey-native-turned-Angeleno began his career with a bang, getting a job to score the film Me, Myself & Irene in 2000 before releasing his first solo album, musicforthemorningafter, in 2001. In the subsequent years, Yorn has evolved his singer-songwriter path, writing introspective, heartfelt songs with an alt-pop sound. Yorn is known to play most of the instruments on his recordings, but expect an all-out backing band live. MAT WEIR
sensation. Mixing blues, rock, R&B, gospel and country, as many good Southern rock acts do, the quintet is led by the weathered and twangy vocals of singer-guitarist-songwriter Charlie Starr, and driven home by Paul Jackson’s shredding guitar licks, Brandon Still’s soulful keyboard work, and the percussive one-two punch of siblings Richard and Brit Turner. If you miss the good ol’ days of kickass rock ’n’ roll, get your butt downtown to see these guys. You won’t be sorry. CJ
An immensely creative quintet that’s as fun to watch as it is to listen to, Lucius crafts luscious pop songs full of Abba-esque melodies reworked for the 21st century, paired with irresistible percussion grooves. Led by cofounders and lead vocalists Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, who sing layered vocals in unison, the Brooklyn-based band was described by NPR as fabulous and infectious. On May 7, Lucius performs at the Catalyst in support of its new album, Good Grief. Also on the bill: New York-based singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy. CAT JOHNSON

FILM
DEMOLITION MAN Jake Gyllenhaal smashes stuff in Jean-Mark Vallée’s ‘Demolition.’
Wreck Your Life APRIL 13-19, 2016 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Tragedy, comedy, destruction are an odd mix in Jean-Marc Vallée’s ‘Demolition’ BY LISA JENSEN
44
T
he way we process grief—or not—is the foundation on which Demolition is built. This oddball little film from Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallée (The Dallas Buyers Club; Wild) views the aftermath of tragedy through the distorted lens of both drama and comedy, then takes a sledgehammer to shatter what we think we know about sadness and loss. Not to belabor the construction/ deconstruction metaphor, but that’s what you get from Demolition. Its protagonist, investment banker Davis (Jake Gyllenhaal), loses his wife suddenly in a car crash, then realizes he can’t begin to build a new life for himself until he tears down the old one. This is the movie’s central theme,
but scriptwriter Bryan Sipe hammers it home constantly in both dialogue and action, as if afraid we won’t get it—a wrecking-ball approach that threatens to topple quieter scenes that provide more effective moments. Davis is a Wall Street suit, married to the daughter of his boss at the firm, Phil (Chris Cooper). After Davis survives the crash that kills his wife (she’s driving), he’s bombarded with expressions of grief and commiseration from his in-laws, parents and colleagues. He sleepwalks through all the rituals of death—hospital vigil, funeral, wake— and stuns his co-workers (especially Phil) by coming right back to work. His only means of opening up turns out to be in a letter of complaint he
writes to the manufacturer of a candyvending machine that stiffed him 25 cents in the hospital. In the course of two or three letters, he expands on the hospital incident to include his views on his job, his life, and whether or not he really loved his wife. It’s a little odd right away that he would continue to send these letters without being prompted by any response, but we’re meant to believe this is his therapy. Then he does get a response—not in a business letter, but in a late-night phone call from a woman named Karen (Naomi Watts), who’s the entire Customer Service department at the locally owned vending machine company. It’s a little creepy that they start stalking each other at diners and
on the subway, but in typical movie fashion, they tell each other intimate truths about themselves simply because they are strangers. Back at work, Phil tells Davis, “If you want to fix something, you have to take everything apart,” which Davis and the movie take all too literally. Soon, he’s smashing everything to smithereens—his leaky refrigerator, a cappuccino maker, a stall in the bathroom at work, and all of his office equipment. He even pays a neighborhood construction crew to let him help demolish a house. Which leads to the main event, Davis taking Karen’s sullen 15-year-old son Chris (Judah Lewis) on a mission to destroy his own house. (He tells Chris, “We’re taking apart my marriage.”) The movie is mostly about Davis bonding with Chris. Which is OK, since theirs are probably the most effective scenes. (Karen sort of disappears as an entity; she’s onscreen, but she has less impact on the story.) There’s a nice moment when Davis deconstructs the F-word, explaining to the teen how to wield it more effectively. That said, it’s odd that Chris would start a conversation with Davis about an extremely private and delicate subject while the two of them are out in a public place. (A tool department, natch.) Continuity can also be a problem. In one weird scene, button-down Davis proves to be handy with a pistol (and just happens to have a flak jacket in the trunk of his car). One baffling encounter turns out to be a dream sequence, which works well enough. But later in the movie, Davis is shown going about his daily routine in the same house he literally bulldozed earlier, as if nothing had happened. It’s kind of disorienting that this doesn’t turn out to be a dream too. Unfortunately, since we’re tipped off to the metaphor right off the (baseball) bat, all the wanton destruction just gets tiresome. This script should have been taken apart more carefully before it reduced the movie to rubble. DEMOLITION **1/2 (out of four) With Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts, Chris Cooper, and Judah Lewis. Written by Bryan Sipe. Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated R. 100 minutes.

Avril (voiced by Marion Cotillard) goes out in search of her missing parents with help from her talking cat and an unlikely ally. French with English subtitles. Christian Desmares, Franck Ekinci direct. Marion Cotillard, Philippe Katerine, Jean Rochefort co-star. (PG) 106 minutes. BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT Calvin’s Barbershop is threatened when the surrounding community takes a turn for the worse, but the hair-cutting heroes band together to make a permanent change. And with Ice Cube, Nicki Minaj, Common, Eve, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Anthony Anderson, Regina Hall, and Lamorne Morris (only the best character on New Girl, hey Winston!), they’ll surely be able to make their neighborhood safe again. (PG-13) 112 minutes.
APRIL 13-19, 2016 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
CRIMINAL Kevin Costner as a convict who has no feelings? How strange, he’s generally so emotive. Ariel Vromen directs. Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gardot co-star. (R) 113 minutes.

THE JUNGLE BOOK Did anyone think just how terrifying a live-action version of The Jungle Book would be when they saw the 1967 Disney classic (and no, the 1994 version doesn’t count even if Westley from The Princess Bride was in it)? All adults are invited to be equally excited for this fantastic reinterpretation brought to life with newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli and the various jungle animals voiced by Hollywood heavy-hitters Billy Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, and Scarlett Johansson. Jon Favreau directs. (PG) 105 minutes.
NOW PLAYING CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM.
BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE It’s the ultimate battle of chiseled jawlines. And Jesse Eisenberg is the villain! But who is the real villain here? Who are the real heroes? Who’s the beauty playing Wonder Woman? What’s Holly Hunter doing here? Who wore the spandex better? But, most importantly, is Ben Affleck’s back tat real? So many questions, and only 153 minutes of Marvel to find answers. Zack Snyder directs. Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams co-star. (PG-13) 153 minutes. THE BOSS Melissa McCarthy in the snazziest selection of turtlenecks you ever did see. Ben Falcone directs. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage co-star. (R) 99 minutes. DEMOLITION Reviewed this issue. (R) 100 minutes. EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! Who decided that April would be the month to release all the sequels to semi-OK films that came out entire lifetimes ago? If you find this person, we have words for them. Even if it is Richard Linklater directing, c’mon, who has been eagerly awaiting another Dazed and Confused—that movie came out in 1993! Even if it is only the “spiritual sequel,” we hope anyone who’s been dying to see just as many tight pants and floppy hair-dos for the last 23 years gets just what they’ve been waiting for. It’s got not one, but two (!!) exclamation marks in the title, so you know it’s got to be good. Zoey Deutch, Blake Jenner, Tyler Hoechlin co-star. (R) 116 minutes. EYE IN THE SKY “If they kill 80 people, we win the propaganda war. If we kill one child, they do.”Would you be willing to risk the collateral damage of one innocent girl to save uncounted thousands in the future? Putting a face to a faceless killing machine, Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, and the late Alan Rickman take on the implications of modern drone warfare. Gavin Hood directs. (R) 102 minutes. GOD’S NOT DEAD 2 It’s Sabrina the teenage witch! Except she’s a high school teacher who, when asked a question about Jesus in class, says something that lands her in court, arguing the existence of God. Remember the hot gardener from
Desperate Housewives? He’s in it, too. Yes, they made two of these films. Harold Cronk directs. Jesse Metcalfe, David A.R. White, Ray Wise co-star. (PG) 121 minutes. HARDCORE HENRY You, yes you, are Henry—a crazy superhuman who has been resurrected from the dead without memory of your former life. Now you have to have your wife from a warlord who wants to bio-engineer soldiers. It’s a first-person action film from Henry’s point of view. Pro-tip: to avoid freaking out, it’s probably best to not do any drugs before watching this film. Ilya Naishuller directs. Sharlto Copley, Tim Roth, Haley Bennett costar. (R) 96 minutes. HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS In what is being called possibly her best performance ever, Sally Field plays a 60-something woman who pursues her younger coworker in this coming-of-a-certain-age tale. Michael Showalter directs. Sally Field, Max Greenfield, Tyne Daly costar. (R) 95 minutes. THE DIVERGENT SERIES: ALLEGIANT Finally, finally Tris’ hair has grown past that awful awkward short phase. The rest is—well, she’s still divergent, but hey, Harry from Dumb and Dumber thinks she’s worth saving. Is Shailene Woodley the new Anne Hathaway, or is it just us? Ansel Elgort is still the most annoying person in Hollywood, but if the cast doesn’t make your teeth bleed, by all means enjoy the next installment of this trying-hard-to-be-Hunger Games tween series. Robert Schwentke directs. Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Zoë Kravitz co-star. (PG-13) 121 minutes. EDDIE THE EAGLE Whether it’s the forced underbite, the shaggy overcut, the awful ’70s glasses, or all three, there’s something so adorable about Taron Egerton as Olympic ski jumper Eddie Edwards that we’re willing to overlook the fact that Hugh Jackman is in the film. Even better is that it’s based on the true story of the real Eddie Edwards, who was also really farsighted and equally as huggable. We love all Eddies. Dexter Fletcher directs. Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken co-star. (PG-13) 105 minutes.
EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT The first Colombian film nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, Embrace of the Serpent is the beautifully constructed story based on the diaries of Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evan Schultes which follows an Amazonian shaman and two scientists searching for a sacred healing plant. Ciro Guerra directs. Nilbio Torres, Jan Bijvoet, Antonio Bolivar co-star. (NR) 125 minutes. I SAW THE LIGHT Hank Williams contributed a revolutionary body of musical work during his short life. The country music’s legend had, like so many musical geniuses before and after, a messy private life that wasn’t nearly as successful as his public one. Marc Abraham directs. Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Olsen, Maddie Hasson. (R) 123 minutes. MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN Jennifer Garner’s comeback, or at least a very eventful story for the kid who plays her daughter: first she gets an incurable disease, which no one can diagnose, and then she falls out of a tree and sees God. And then her incurable disease is healed. It’s a miracle from heaven! Patricia Riggen directs. Jennifer Garner, Kylie Rogers, Martin Henderson co-star. (PG) 109 minutes. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 Right, because we’ve all been on the edge of our seats in anticipation of a sequel to the Greek family comedy … for 14 years. Kirk Jones directs. Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Michael Constantine co-star. (PG-13) 94 minutes. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE The Internet is driving itself crazy trying to figure out if this is a proper sequel to the 2008 monster movie Cloverfield. Producer J.J. Abrams is indeed the mastermind behind it once again, and he keeps dropping hints that are infuriatingly vague about how the two films are connected. What we know is that Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and the pale guy from The Newsroom are hiding underground from something, and though Abrams claims the Cloverfield monster doesn’t make an appearance … would you really be surprised if it did? Dan Trachtenberg directs. Bradley Cooper co-stars. (PG13) 105 minutes.
THE WAVE You’d never guess that amongst the towering, beautiful fjords of Norway lurks the danger of a tsunami decimating an entire town. But that’s exactly what happened in 1934 in Tafjord, Norway—and it’s only a matter of time before it happens again. There’s a crack in the real-life Norwegian mountain, Åkneset, which is expanding two to 15 centimeters each year. Geologists predict it will one day fall into the fjord and cause a massive tsunami. Possibly the most stomach-lurching, anxiety-inducing natural disaster thriller (and Norway’s very first) to ever have not come out of Hollywood, The Wave is a breathlessly captivating story of one geologist’s desperate attempts to save his home. Warning: should be viewed with something in which to dig fingernails and/or bite into. Roar Uthaug directs. Kristoffer Joner, Thomas Bo Larsen, Ane Dahl Torp. (R) 105 minutes. WHERE TO INVADE NEXT Oddly beardless and slightly thinner, Michael Moore returns as angry and ferocious as ever, investigating the absurdities of modern politics across the entire globe. From public school cafeterias to Wall Street, Moore’s latest documentary takes on the American Dream. Michael Moore directs. Michael Moore, Krista Kiuru, Tim Walker co-star. (R) 110 minutes. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT For certain glasses-wearing, brown-haired female journalists with a penchant for sarcasm and dreams of a foreign correspondence post, this film may or may not be their future life story (omg we are the same person, Tina Fey!). For the rest, it’s Fey with Margot Robbie and Martin Freeman, plus laughs, some bang-bang and war stories. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa direct. Margot Robbie, Nicholas Braun, Tina Fey co-star. (R) 111 minutes. ZOOTOPIA Thank goodness it’s become OK for adults to watch kids’ movies (it has, right?). We’d gladly take a cunning bunny cop with her fox informant trying to uncover a conspiracy in a city of adorable animated animals than watch Gerard Butler do … well, anything, really. Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush direct. Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba co-star. (PG) 108 minutes.

Verve Coffee Roasters opens on the Westside, plus a new craft beer taproom coming to Pacific Avenue BY CHRISTINA WATERS
I
t’s happened again. Another Verve Coffee Roasters—that outlet of enlightened espressos and pastries—has opened on the Westside of Santa Cruz. The location of the tiny chain’s fourth shop is one of the best around—across the street from New Leaf Market and right next door to Bantam. Also, if we can believe a recent article in Sprudge (a website devoted to trends in new-wave coffee), Verve Coffee Roasters will place another one of its stores this month in the world’s busiest train station— in Tokyo! I’d call that thinking big.
According to the interview with Verve founder Colby Barr, this will not be a franchise situation, either. More like an embassy, a genuine outpost of Santa Cruz Verve style, only in the largest city in the world. Extremely chill. But let’s get back to our own neck of the woods. The new Westside Verve is, as you would expect, hip to the max. Sleek pale woodwork flatters the long, low front counter of poured and polished concrete. The high ceiling offers ample back wall space upon
which perch tiny botanical islands of epiphytes and their friends. Even the industrial hardware here adds visual design appeal. The bank of Nuova Simonelli espresso machines gleams with film noir style. Stacks of logo cups, caps and T-shirts snag the eye from three different angles. And of course, for me, one of the primary draws is that jewel-box case loaded with extravagant pastries, cakes, scones, and wickedness from the folks at Manresa Bread. Here’s the combo to consider: A small Americano—enough octane for three-four hours—plus
Something new and dramatically different in the way of craft beer tasting will open in May on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz, right down the street from O’Neill. Patrons can open a tasting “account” with a credit card and then taste at will. Imagine being able to graze at will over a wall of beer taps, choosing whatever catches your eye and pouring yourself a sample. Pour Taproom is the brainchild of Felton native Chris Reno, who has described this high-tech new venture as a “free-range tasting room.” Stay thirsty, my friends.
APPETIZER OF THE WEEK The splendidly unctuous roast asparagus wrapped in prosciutto I enjoyed last Tuesday at Gabriella while listening to sage raconteur Peter Kenez charm a full house of admirers.
WINE OF THE WEEK The amusingly labeled Proper Claret 2013 ($11.99 at Shopper’s Corner) from the feverish mind of wine innovator Randall Grahm proved an able companion for a wide range of foods, from cheeses to grilled trout. An appealing, non-concept-driven blend of Cab, Merlot, Tannat, and Petit Verdot, with a smidge each of Syrah and Petite Sirah, this friendly red wine can romance even leftover pizza with more than a touch of flair. Nice value for the money, and that’s saying a lot.

he Artbar at the Tannery Arts Center has been a cult favorite on the café scene for several years, but owner Ian McRae is hoping to make it much more than that. He closed it last year for several months, reopening it earlier this year with a whole new menu and a new mission to be a community gathering spot. McRae enlisted chef Antonette Wood from Swing Time Catering to make all of the Artbar’s food. He’s also revamped the alcohol selection, with more craft beers, more local wines and signature cocktails. McRae talked to us about his new menu and artist-themed drinks.
What is your vision for the Artbar?

IAN MCRAE: My overall vision is to make it a community pub for not only the Tannery residents, but the greater Harvey West area. I’ve been doing a lot of outreach with the greater Harvey West area. I’ve knocked on every single door, whether it be residential or business, and given them $5 coupons and menus. Reopening it, we’re really focusing on the food and the drinks and the service. Getting more foot traffic not only benefits my café, but everything else that’s going on here—the theater, the Tannery cultural center, the
glass blowers, glass designers and ceramicists. They say sitting is the new smoking. Part of our outreach is you can take a stroll and visit us, get some exercise, get away from your work environment, then walk back.
What about the new menu? Antonette makes all the food. She makes everything from scratch in her kitchen in Watsonville. She brings food in two to three times a week. All of the pastries, all the soups, all the paninis, all her lemon bars and brownies—they’re all made from scratch. The soups rotate seasonally. Right now we have a butternut apple and goat cheese soup with celery, carrots, apple juice and garlic. It’s served with bread and butter. We also have a chicken noodle soup with fresh spinach, chicken, carrots, onion and pappardelle noodles. We have a great incredible veggie panini with eggplant, red pepper, zucchini, carrot and asparagus, spinach, goat cheese, and vinaigrette on ciabatta bread. We have a three-cheese fromage, which is sharp cheddar, mozzarella, brie, spinach, tomato, pepperoncini, and mustard. 1060 River Street Unit 112, Santa Cruz; 234-5356.

Open for about 18 months now, Wrights Station is a fun place to visit—and all of their handcrafted wines are well-made and flavorful.

y first experience of Wrights Station Vineyard & Winery a few weeks ago was wonderful. What awaited was a beautiful tasting room, warm hospitality and, best of all, splendid wines. Owner and winemaker Dan Lokteff took me and my husband on a tour of his property—a bucolic spot in the Santa Cruz Mountains that is perfect for events of all kinds, including a simple picnic during a wine-tasting visit. Lokteff, who purchased the property a few years ago when he and his wife Molly were looking around for a good piece of land to start a winery, says that as they were driving away from Wrights Station, Molly said she had a good feeling about the place and he should buy it. With its incredible views of vineyards and mountains, the idyllic setting is a little piece of paradise. Lokteff has since put his heart and soul into making superior wines and serving them in this gorgeous setting, and none of this came about without a huge amount of work and planning.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MARS RETROGRADE AND PREPARING FOR WESAK Sunday, April 17, Mars, the red planet that propels us forward, turns stationary retrograde at 17 degrees Sagittarius, sign of journeys, justice and goals. Mars retrograde shifts our usual outward trajectory inward into places that haven’t been touched since last Mars retrograde (Libra, 2014). Mars (red, hot, intense activity, desire), when retrograde, creates life-altering transformations experienced internally rather than externally. Health wise, our vitality lessens, Mars can be inflammation, and Sagittarius rules the thighs. Therefore, we are cautioned to be careful of inflammatory foods and activities. Mars retrogrades every 26 months or so (not like Mercury every 3-4 months). Mars is retrograde for 2.5 months at a time (73 days). The same rules for Mercury retro apply to Mars retro. Retrograde planets are close to the Earth. Earth, with Mars retro, will also experience an intensification of events, or inflammatory situations, an uprising of things red, hot,
conflictual and martial. Individuals experience Mars retro internally. However, collectively, the world experiences Mars retro as explosive. Mars is also courage, the ability to protect and defend, to “battle for the Lord.” Ruler of Aries and Scorpio, Mars signifies the warrior’s highest aspirations. Mars creates the “burning ground,” the pathway, an alchemical fire that purifies. Mars retro allows us to align with and realign deep desires, aspirations and life purpose. All around us will be dramatic (at times, torrid) transformations, endings, re-orientations, journeys, regenerations, and significant encounters. This week we prepare for the Wesak Festival (next Thursday and Friday, full moon time), the Buddha’s yearly visit from Shambhala to Earth (Wesak Valley in the Himalayas), distributing the Will of God to humanity. Read more daily on my Facebook page as we prepare for the Wesak Festival together.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
A sense of being in alignment occurs this month for everyone, but especially you. As this occurs many unusual ideas appear in your mind. They are important, providing direction, stabilizing your actions and selfidentity in the coming challenging times. Careful with groups. Stand tall and courageous and remember that anxiety is a state seeking more detailed information.
Your heart fills up with love for another. When we love more sometimes wounds appear. Wounds have a purifying affect, bringing us attention to what hurts most. What underground streams of thought are you having? Mars is uncovering wounds from long ago. Bring everything into the light of day for discussion. An old wound surfaces. It has to do with miscommunication. Forgive.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You’re serving others, which often disrupts your own personal schedule. Or perhaps you’re in retreat and behind the scenes which allows you to ponder, think and study the world events undistracted. Or, you’re far away from home tending to a life-and-death situation or a medical emergency. Whatever the present journey, love underlies all your actions and choices.
GEMINI May 22–June 20 Hurry and do all that’s needed to prepare for the Mars retrograde. Always you’re being prepared for something important. Perhaps it’s to dispel the illusions of others concerning what’s occurring on our planet now. As you slowly move back into a reflective state, something is happening to your sense of intimacy and relationships. Steady yourself, poised at the center of what matters.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In your daily life it’s good at this time to listen carefully and agree with others, participating in their ideas, plans and agendas. This creates a magnetic emotional balance within you and all around you. You will be seen as wise, intelligent and caring. Cooperate, share, provide others with praise and attention. In the secret moments of your life, tend carefully to money and resources.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Something important now is you creating new methods and trainings at work, maintaining an ethical and just work environment and being the mentor everyone seeks. Also, tend to physical, emotional and psychic health. Be sure to have sound financial advice. In odd moments remember to play a lot. Notice that what was previously a pleasure changes dramatically.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20
There’s a different communication occurring between you and the groups you interact with and/or belong to. Perhaps you will be recognized more or called to lead or a wish is fulfilled. New people enter your circle, perhaps through a community interaction, a market, a class or meet-up. Maintain your ethics and ideals as you adapt and compromise and plan for the future.
It’s good every now and then to turn to our partner(s) (intimate, business, etc.) and renew commitments, intentions and vows. Bonds then deepen—trust, too. A deep spiritual presence may appear in your mind, heart, dreams or visions. People may wonder what’s different about you, what is that light they see around you? It’s the light of goodwill emanating from you creating peace and goodness to all.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18
Work continues to be a deep stabilizing influence and new ideas occur that develop new ways of relating to everyone professionally. It’s important to be especially in touch with your creativity. You are more than you think you are, more than most see and recognize. Careful with authority. Create a balance between discipline, structure, willingness and kindness. It equals right human relations.
You will find yourself returning to friends and groups you’ve interacted with before. They have missed you. You’ll be out and about, doing what’s needed firmly and without distraction. A new base of operations is attempting to form but there are changes you must bring about first. List all things needed in your life. Then, take one step. Then the next. Each step lets you know you’re in control of your life.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22
PISCES Feb19–Mar20
Things religious and spiritual, questions concerning justice, and journeys all come into your mind. You are greatly organized, tending well to plans and agendas that affect daily life. Careful at home, with sharp knives, steps, tools, and where you walk. Be aware of each moment lest you fall and hurt yourself. When we learn new things, stumbling about is always our first step.
You will ask yourself questions regarding direction in life, work and in the world. The retrograde allows us to assess, reassess and re-evaluate our direction, aspirations and goals. Do not push the river in any way during the next three months. Tend to elders, parents, co-workers, mentors. Know there is no failure. There is only experiencing and learning. Know also that you are always a success.

SAMANTHA Meet Samantha! She’s a 10-year-old, 18-pound Schneagle! You heard right, a Beagle/Schnauzer mix! Isn’t she cute? She’s also a total angel. She’s housetrained, fine with other dogs, walks great on a leash and is incredibly sweet. She’d be the perfect addition to a loving family. Samantha was surrendered to us because the child in her previous family was allergic to her. If you’d like to meet Samantha, please fill out an online adoption application.

ADRIENNE HARRELL, 20-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
Occupation: Director of Services School of Engineering UCSC; Zumba fitness instructor; Soulful Ceremonies officiant (weddings/memorials ) Hobbies: Dancing, singing, reading, traveling, cooking Astrological Sign: Virgo What do you enjoy cooking? I don’t stick to any particular style of cooking. ’Fresh’ and ’healthy’ dominates what I do in the kitchen; I roast and steam a lot of vegetables — Shopper’s has great produce, especially the local organic. I love picking up fish here. Last year they they brought in organically farmed salmon (slow wild-salmon season). My dinner guests said it was the best ever! I’m a big fan of their marinated tri-tips and pork loins. I appreciate the friendliness of the butchers: I don’t cook a lot of meat so I value their advise about different cuts, along with their cooking instructions. Shopper’s is a very convenient market.
How so? For one, the early hours: it’s not uncommon for me to shop here at 6 am. The size of Shopper’s is manageable and it has an ample supply of everything I need, from common to obscure ingredients. They have an excellent spice section. I love cheeses — my husband doesn’t — and it’s nice to be able to buy them in small quantities. I prefer to shop local as I know my money supports the community. Plus here, I can find many good local products: Beckmann breads, Glaum eggs, Donnelly chocolates, Pasta Mike’s pasta and sauces, Fuji apples, fresh salsas, coffees, and much more. And the wines!
What about the wines? Whether I go lower budget or pull out all the stops, Shopper’s has it all. This is my go-to market. The quality of my food is important to me; getting the best price doesn’t motivate me so much, but Shopper’s offers both fair pricing and quality Being treated well matters to me. If I walk into a store and I’m not greeted, and there’s a product there that I love, I won’t buy it. Here, people are always friendly and helpful. I find the checkers — everyone — to be just lovely people, and that makes me feel good about spending my money at Shopper’s. I feel very comfortable shopping here. I feel like I’m home.
