OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE Santa Cruz is known for its history of progressive politics, but I’d venture to guess that most people who live here now don’t actually know a lot about that history. When exactly did this city become a bastion of liberal ideals? What were the events that shaped its current political landscape? Kara Guzman’s cover story this week on the sorry state of Lighthouse Field offers some insight into those questions. If it surprises you to read that, then you’re likely to learn something from her recounting of

RIVER SAFETY REVISITED
4
In response/rebuttal to Ms. Sheridan and Ms. Mio’s letter “River Safety” (GT, 6/22): I am a 30-plus year canoeist on western U.S. rivers, lakes, ocean and particularly the San Lorenzo from Glen Arbor to the sea. Having reviewed the more than 200 pages of the City’s paddling committee minutes, one may readily conclude your true agenda has little to do with boater safety and everything to do with a narrow waterfowl “protection” agenda that excludes any paddling activities whatsoever. Your histrionic dispatch is a transparent attempt to prop up the city’s unconstitutional no boating ordinance (9.66.090 MC) by “fowl” intent. Additionally obvious: 1. Neither of you have knowledgeable riverpaddling experience, as all hazards you raise are known to experienced river-craft paddlers. 2. The pilot program bird survey strategy proposed cannot possibly produce accurate before and after (paddling event) bird counts with only one biologist trying to cover the multi-channeled vegetated San Lorenzo riparian corridor. Kindly tell us how one knows if a bird was missed or already counted! 3. Every paddler I know can swim, right their craft and remount it. 4. Crafts under 16 ft. do not require registration.
the fight to save Lighthouse Field in the early 1970s, and how it kickstarted a political movement and an entire generation of Santa Cruz politicians. I certainly learned a lot about the cultural significance of Lighthouse Field—and I thought I already knew the story. Guzman unpacks not just the historical context of Lighthouse Field, but also the current political one. Are the problems there going to be solved without some progress made on Santa Cruz’s homeless issues? Her story is very clear on the answer. In the end, it’s the complex tale of a Santa Cruz landmark most of us don’t think twice about when we pass it. The next time you see it after reading this story, you will. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Finally, paddler access to navigable waters is strongly protected by Article X Sect. 4 of the California Constitution, as well as Sect. 3 of the 1850 California Admission Act into the Union. When ducks are granted voting rights and our state Constitution is amended to take away our “always attainable” and “forever free” access to navigable waters, I will hang up my paddle. Until then, I’ll continue boating the San Lorenzo, inviting a City citation for violation of 9.66.090 MC and a court test to put this unconstitutional obstructing ordinance to rest. J. GOLDER | ACTIVE RECREATION COALITION, SANTA CRUZ

SAFE HARBOR
STORIED HISTORY
County leaders have embarked on a vision for a mixed-use, tourist-friendly site near the upper Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor. The 8.3-acre vacant parcel at the intersection of Brommer Street and 7th Avenue has harbor access, and the county is seeking proposals for a landmark project with lodging, destination-oriented commercial uses and a large, public open space. The county’s economic developers, who are required to sell the property, want to create a project for public good. Bids are due by Aug. 12.
The Capitola Museum, located at 410 Capitola Ave., will celebrate its 50th birthday on Saturday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. On the museum’s website, curator Frank Perry calls it “a wonderful opportunity to look back at the first half century and acknowledge the many donors, volunteers and others who have helped the Museum preserve our local history.” There will be outdoor displays, activities for kids, souvenirs, and refreshments. Former director Carolyn Swift will share memories of the museum, followed by a cake cutting.
RE: MARK MESITI-MILLER Thank you for this thoughtful and forwardlooking article. The era of auto-centric suburban planning is ending, and for good reason. We’ve discovered that more and more people, and especially young people, reject the passé “American Dream” of large front and rear yards, a car for every driver, and utter dependency on driving to accomplish the simplest daily tasks. Some of us have lived in transit-friendly cities and loved it. More and more are loving—or looking for—a simpler life with smaller homes and yards and, dare I suggest, no need for an automobile at all. Transit>8

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 6 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Events in the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution, and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clear-headed. Will you howl and moan? Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 In the book A Survival Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the authors tell you how to raise your stress levels. Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise. Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself with kindness. Got all that, Taurus? It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.
GEMINI May21–June20 Normally I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 As I gaze into my crystal ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you communing with elemental energies that are almost beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried, because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you safe and protected. Your playful strength is fully unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos. This is a dream come true: You have a joyous confidence as you explore and experiment with the Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to guide you.

“You can only go halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads-up. Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 My devoted contingent of private detectives, intelligence agents, and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling longterm decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future, and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities. Crucial in this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good work. Think big! Bigger! Biggest!
LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 After years of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patent-
ed technique known as Mythic Gene Engineering, they are able to transplant the planets of your horoscope into different signs and astrological houses from the ones you were born with. Let’s say your natal Jupiter suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon. The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your specifications, enabling you to be recoded with the destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most people. But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming months, you will have an unprecedented power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less expensive, purely natural means.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In high school I was a good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Do you remember that turning point when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice, but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options— which are now more mature and meaningful—with greater authority. Trust your exuberance.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I love writing horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for the inspiration you need next, I have to continually reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The theories I had about your destiny last month may not be applicable this month. My devotion to following your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably off-balance, propelling me free of habit and predictability. I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people in your life who move you and feed you and transform you the best.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 After an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker, and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius. People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Can water run uphill? Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn’t be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.

oriented development and pedestrian and bike-friendly communities attract economic investment, and our civic leaders know this. Both the Santa Cruz Business Council and the Chamber of Commerce support the current vision of building a trail while preserving the corridor for future rail transit, and the kind of sustainable development that will come with it. Some of our major employers, Dominican [Hospital] and Plantronics, support the transportation improvement plan with its investment in the rail with trail vision, possibly taking a cue from

NEWS PAINT THAT A SHAME Just how restrictive are the city’s downtown ordinances, really? BY ARDY RAGHIAN
STOCK MARKET Last week, California passed new regulations on ammunition and background checks, but in the
absence of a substantial federal overhaul, weapons are still pouring in through state borders.
Loaded Questions California passes gun control legislation, but federal inaction hinders regulation efforts BY TOM GOGOLA
‘Y
ou see a lot of the same ideas introduced in Sacramento and Washington,” says Rep. Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), speaking on parallel gun-control efforts ongoing in California and
Congress—efforts that are in the spotlight following the Orlando mass-shooting on June 12. The big difference? In California, the state legislature actually passes a pretty regular raft of gun-control bills that have teeth to them, and
Gov. Jerry Brown even signs some of them, as he did on July 1. The state has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and has enacted limits on, for example, the magazine capacities of assault-style weapons that include the >13
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 6-12, 2016
Standing beside a folding A-frame plastered with experimental art pieces and protest signs on Pacific Avenue, artists Alex Skelton and Joff Jones have spent endless hours downtown suggesting passersby stop to check out their art or maybe even make a donation that will help them afford to stay in Santa Cruz. Their trippy psychedelic art features subjects ranging from the pastoral to pop culture—nature, a shipwreck, even the cartoon character Waldo. But in the last year, they say they’ve had no choice but to shift focus, and their creative sides have taken a back seat to their activism. Skelton and Jones have been arrested three times since July of 2015, each time for refusing to sign a citation issued to them for distributing artwork outside of an exempt zone on Pacific Avenue. There is no need, they argue, for the 27 blue-marked zones that dictate where artists can and can’t set up—since, they say, it is their “constitutional right” to display their artwork in a public space. “Restrictions are meant to keep people safe. There are already laws in place to deal with obnoxious people disturbing the peace and aggressive panhandlers,” says Skelton, beside a picture of a person with a television for a head. But that isn’t how the First Amendment works, according to City Attorney Tony Condotti. He defends the city’s policy, saying Skelton’s rights are not being violated, because it’s within the city’s right to place restrictions on the time, place and manner in which these First Amendment activities take place. “There are numerous places available for people to engage in freedom of expression,” says Condotti. “It only regulates the locations that they set up, so that they don’t obstruct the sidewalks and clutter up the streets.” Outside experts, too, seem to agree that there’s nothing unconstitutional about what the city’s doing, as long as it provides enough space for artists and activists. “Sidewalks and streets are public forums for speech. But cities may have time, place, and manner restrictions that serve an important government interest and leave open adequate alternative places for communication,” UC Irvine Dean of Law Erwin Chemerinsky tells GT, adding that he doesn’t know the specifics of the city’s setup. “Generally this would be allowed so long as there are adequate places >14 available for the street performers.”

NEWS LOADED QUESTIONS <11 AR-15, a version of which was used in the Orlando massacre. California has extensive background-check procedures, while Congress won’t move to close a loophole in gun shows that undermines the background check. Congressional Democrats took to the floor last week, conducting a sit-in protest of legislative inaction on gun control, led by Georgia Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis. Rep. Sam Farr (D-Carmel) took part in the protest along with more than 150 other House Democrats, plus a few colleagues from the Senate, who even brought their comrades some “munchies” to snack on, Farr tells GT. Farr, who represents Santa Cruz, says he was at the 25-hour protest until about 4 a.m. before deciding he should try to get some sleep. While on the floor, Farr spoke proudly about California’s laws banning the sale of assault weapons and limiting the number of ammunition rounds in a magazine— and called on other states to do the same. Shortly after, Gov. Brown signed new gun bills, further restricting magazine rounds and requiring background checks to buy ammunition statewide. California may have tough gun laws, but its border with other states is even more porous than its border with Mexico, which makes it difficult to cut off the flow of
illegal weapons. “In Sacramento, they can actually move forward on these bills,” says Huffman, “but the problem is they don’t have much effect if there’s no federal law.” And where Congress has notoriously refused to fund a study on the negative health impacts of gun violence on society (the Center for Disease Control hasn’t done a comprehensive study in two decades), California has drafted a state bill that would do just that. “We’re working from the same playbook,” says Huffman of guncontrol efforts in California and Congress. “We’d like to see certain military-style assault weapons banned, high-capacity ammunition systems banned. We’d like to see far better safeguards and background checks. We’d like to see safety systems, locking systems, biometrics—that’s why you see similar ideas being introduced in the two bodies. The difference is, in one place they go there to die.” After a heartrending filibuster led by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, designed to push Senate Republicans to a vote on gun control, Huffman last week co-signed a bill that aims to patch a hole in the nation’s effort to protect itself from attacks committed under the flag of terror, if not ISIS itself. Under the bill, no one on a terrorist-watch list will be able to buy a gun without the FBI getting a notification. The Senate shot down a similar bill, along with three others,
and refused to vote on the House version—part of what prompted the sit-in, which was broadcast on Facebook and Periscope. Huffman defends the bill, often called “No Fly, No Buy” as being limited, and necessary. “We’re only talking about a notification process,” he says, “and I don’t think that’s a huge intrusion into due process or privacy. I don’t have a problem [with notification] for someone who is investigated for terrorist ties if they go out and buy an AR-15.” Of course, perfectly innocent people have, at times, ended up on those lists when their only transgression is having the same name as a bad guy. And although Huffman concedes it’s often easier to get on a list than to get off one, there is an appeal process. It seems that every time there’s a mass shooting, the battle over gun control takes a predictable arc that sees the issue become bogged down in semantic details, like proper ways to describe the weapon. Even as a gun owner who supports the Second Amendment, Huffman says he has “fallen into that trap” and been attacked by gundamentalists for skewing the difference, for example, between a clip and a magazine. Northern California gun owner Keith Rhinehart says he knows how, in the aftermath of masscasualty shootings, the fixation with nomenclature tends to obscure realities. “Most NRA members, like myself, are >16
CRUMB GET IT A few morsels of food left behind in the woods can spark unintended consequences that ripple through the food chain, and kids at a forest school in Little Basin are learning all about it this summer. Ravens and jays are attracted to food waste left over from visitors, and the city-slickin’
birds threaten the marbled murrelet—a species of seabird that nests in the forests—by feeding on the single egg it lays each season. With the small endangered seabird in mind, the Web of Life Field (WOLF) School has implemented a program to reduce the human food entering the food chain.
WOLF School has brought the California State Parks “Crumb Clean” initiative to the 534-acre Little Basin campgrounds—just in time for both the summer camping rush and the Murrelets nesting season. “It allows us to bring kids to a public land, and in return take care of it,” says Heather Butler, WOLF School director. WOLF School naturalists
are promoting proper garbage disposal and airtight container storage for food, and discouraging wild animal feeding. Before setting up camp, visitors will be required to sign a Crumb Clean Commitment. Educational talks and campfires will also be available to visitors to learn more about the importance of the murrelet to the redwood ecosystem. GEORGIA JOHNSON
THE BUTTERY
I took my Mom out for lunch today. I watched her marvel at the hubbub and pace at The Buttery and I can’t help but reflect on the world now and the world she grew up in. She once rode 2 miles to town on a cardboard box, like a skimboard being pulled by two draft horses on a set of reins. She was a daredevil.
And here she sat, almost terrified at the pace, but fascinated at the women with tats, the number of people who “still wear jeans,” the dreadlocks, the lawyers all power-suited up, the tourists. She loves seeing the young babies and toddlers, and talks to them all.
But how do I answer her questions about the modern world? I don’t even understand society anymore. How does a person baked in the depression understand the entitled, abundant world of now? Her vision is failing, her hearing is minimal, her hands are gnarled up with arthritis. She has some agerelated dementia and memory loss. But her eyes lit up at this kaleidoscope of people, and the beautiful food, and the wonderful energy that is The Buttery.
Let’s be honest, aging can be depressing. You have to come to terms with your mortality, the dreams you had that cannot now be fulfilled, the acceptance that the arc of your life is now declining.
But on some days, a trip to The Buttery can wash that away like dust from a pebble and the colors and textures of life are new and exciting for a little while. It’s worth the push to get your PIN (person in need) out the door and into life. They only need a tiny dose and you will both be better for it.

PAINT THAT A SHAME <11
14
The exempt zones are a fairly new concept on Pacific Avenue. They first hit the street in December 2014, in the wake of a controversy over beloved accordionist Frank “The Great Morgani” Lima, who temporarily retired from playing the mall after being threatened with a $300 ticket. A total of 63 color-coded spots were marked along Pacific—yellow for performing, red for vending, and blue for either. This spring, the Santa Cruz City Council voted unanimously to ban commercial vending entirely, and there are now 30 blue boxes for performing and selling original artwork. Because Skelton and Jones are artists, they won’t be affected by the commercial vending ban—or at least they wouldn’t be if they wanted to sell their paintings in the designated spots, something they refuse to do. They were first arrested on Aug. 20, 2015, after refusing to sign a citation for not
being in an exempt zone, instead promising to appear in court. "My mom told me don’t sign anything unless you know what it means,” Skelton says. The Santa Cruz Police Department took them into custody, booking them into jail as per police protocol. Skelton and Jones have mastered the skill of garnering attention for their cause— dressing up as Founding Fathers after their first arrest, and as television reporters at another protest. During their third arrest on May 1, a friend videotaped when 11 officers showed up, and the video now has more than 32,000 views on Facebook. In the two months since, they’ve continued to set up outside of exempt spaces, and haven’t had any interaction with law enforcement, aside from “casual waves” from cops, they say. Assistant city manager Scott Collins says the exempt spaces are meant to establish a balance between freedom of expression and commercial and pedestrian activity. He says
they were originally established because of complaints from people saying they “didn’t feel comfortable walking on the sidewalks,” since they were cluttered with people panhandling and fighting over popular locations. “It’s not like we’re seeking to turn into Los Gatos, where there is no freedom-of-expression activity. A lot of people like coming here for these activities and performers,” says Collins. Skelton, who’s 34, has traveled to dozens of cities, ranging from Seattle to Berkeley, to sell his art—or, as he says, “share my personal ideas with people through art.” He says he’s never had a police officer threaten to cite him outside of Santa Cruz. It may actually be a misconception, though, that the City of Santa Cruz is somehow more restrictive than other places. In Seattle and Berkeley, for example—both considered liberal, artsy communities—it is illegal to distribute artwork, or engage in any other vending, in a public space without a permit. Applicants are screened first, and then awarded a permit. In
Santa Cruz, there is more flexibility; all one has to do is situate themselves within an exempt zone, within a one-hour time limit. Collins says says the time limit for each zone provides everyone who wants to display their art or perform a level playing field, and that people can’t stake claims to “hot spots.” Skelton argues the time limit is “ridiculous and unnecessarily restrictive,” but concedes in his five-and-a-half years setting up on Pacific Avenue, he’s only ever been asked to give up his space once, and he found another one down the block. Condotti says that Jones and Skelton persistently trying to get arrested creates a drain on city resources. And, in a way, the activists agree. “They [the police department] don’t seem to enjoy using their time this way. It’s a waste of their time and resources,” says Skelton. “We’re just showing people pictures and talking to them, and the city’s making that a crime.”

LOADED QUESTION <13 pretty sane, normal people who don’t believe you should be able to go to a gun show, buy a gun and walk out,” says Rhinehart, who finished third in the District 1 Sonoma County Supervisor race. Rhinehart supports closing the gun-show loophole and in “cooling off” periods for someone who wants to buy a weapon. “I honestly can’t figure out why they are so militant about no restrictions on firearms, or on waiting lists, or on people who are on the terror lists,” he says. “Most of the NRA members, like myself, do believe that these restrictions should be in place. The image problem of the NRA has more to do with the leadership than the membership.” Robert Edmonds is a Sonoma County gun owner and an anarchist—a philosophy that is, for him, creative, community-based and noncoercive. Edmonds owns several guns and was raised in a house where his father once threw away a toy revolver because he pointed it at someone. “That was imprinted in me,” says Edmonds. “You never point a gun at anyone, even a toy gun.” Edmonds says he hasn’t fired any of his weapons in over a year and a half, and that was just plinking at pie tins. He has also given some thought to the obsession over proper nomenclature. “If you have a steadfast position, you develop your body of research and wind up with ultra-refined arguments that support your case,” he says. “That becomes a justification to throw out all reasonable arguments if someone is inaccurate.” Huffman and Farr both stress that no one in Congress wants to discuss taking draconian steps, like repealing the Second Amendment. “We’re willing to go down with this ship,” Farr says. “But in our case, we feel like we’re going to launch this ship into a better place with reasonable gun legislation. And all we’re doing is setting limits. We’re not taking people’s guns away. We’re not wiping out. We’re not repealing. We have a lot of gun owners who are tweeting us who support us.” Additional reporting contributed by Jacob Pierce.

Field Goals An effort to save Lighthouse Field decades ago launched a generation of progressive politics in Santa Cruz. Now, devastated by the city’s homeless problem, it needs saving once more BY KARA GUZMAN

ighthouse Field, the 38-acre coastal meadow on West Cliff Drive, is one of several wooded places in the city where the homeless sleep at night. In a way, the field is a perfect respite. Low-slung cypresses and pines create private nooks, where people can hide from the trails. There’s less foot traffic than there is downtown, so anyone sleeping there is unlikely to be woken at night. The field, a state park, also has fewer patrols than it used to. The California Department of Parks and Recreation reluctantly bought the field in 1981 after a failed development project, and as part of the deal, the city began managing the park, with financial help from the county. In 2007, the deal expired and the city and county decided the $200,000 annual maintenance cost was too high. Management of the field fell to the cash-strapped state parks system. A walk around the field’s eastern half reveals at least six makeshift latrines under the trees, littered with used toilet paper, feminine pads and human waste. Needles, spoons and other evidence of drug use are also regularly found by maintenance crews. Former city councilmember Mike Rotkin lives next to the field, and says every night someone sleeps in a car on his street. Around sunset, when the rangers close the field’s parking lots, he sees people with packs and sleeping bags walk through his neighborhood toward the field. “The average numbers are probably around 15 to 20 people,” Rotkin says. “And it ranges from a person who plops down a sleeping bag to people who drag mattresses and trash and camp stoves and bicycle parts and all that kind of stuff.”

FIELD GOALS
In 1972, plans were approved for a high-rise hotel, convention center, shopping mall and condominium complex in Lighthouse Field. A group of concerned residents quickly formed the Save Lighthouse Point Association, which began meeting in living rooms to figure out how to stop the behemoth project. They hired Gary Patton, then a young environmental lawyer, who realized that nobody except the city council, developers and business leaders, wanted construction. “Most people thought it was a horrible idea, but they didn’t know there was any way to stop it,” Patton says. He wrote a 1974 ballot measure— the first initiative to go on the ballot since the city’s 1948 charter—that passed decisively, eliminating any city funding of the proposed development. Around the same time, the newly formed California Coastal Commission rejected the project, another nail in the coffin. Patton, who became a county supervisor in 1975 and served two decades, says the Lighthouse Field victory completely changed local politics. At the time, the county was the fastest-growing in the state and the fifth fastest-growing in the nation. There were plans for a freeway through the city’s center and for high rises for the entire Eastside. The county’s goal was to have a population of half a million by the year 2000, which of course, was never realized. Before the movement, Patton
says, “Nobody believed that the people could actually be in charge of the government. In other words, the elected officials—really, it’s not unlike what’s going on in the national campaign right now—the official elected representatives really didn’t represent the people. They represented the people who had money—the business community and the developers.” Local politicians were known for being pro-growth and prodevelopment, until Patton won his board of supervisors race in 1974. “What happened right then is that the public woke up that we were headed to be like Silicon Valley, and nobody here wanted that,” Patton says. “And there was something we could do about that. We could change local politics.” Other prominent local politicians came out of the movement: Katherine Beiers, Bert Muhly, Sally DiGirolamo and Carole De Palma, members of the Save Lighthouse Point Association, joined city council. Andy Schiffrin, another association member, became Patton’s administrative analyst. John Laird, also a member, joined city council in 1981 and later became a state assemblyman. “Everybody who had sort of assumed there was nothing that could be done, decided, wait, maybe if we got involved in local politics, we could change the way things are happening,” Patton says. “So that was what was so significant. It galvanized approximately 20 years of very intense political involvement.” Today, Lighthouse Field is one of California’s last remaining coastal headlands in an urban area. It has a protected area for migrating

A NEW DEAL? But can it be saved now? Every so often, rangers sweep for illegal campers, as they did in early June,
with off-hour patrols. The first morning, they found 15 homeless people, directing them to services and issuing citations. By the week’s end, they found only one or two, as word of the patrols spread, according to Bill Wolcott, state parks public safety superintendent. Many of those displaced went to Seabright State Beach. The patrols required extra funding and were meant to be short-lived, according to state parks staff. When the patrols stop, the homeless will most likely return. State parks crews are illequipped to deal with waste left by illegal campers, with a sixperson crew maintaining not just Lighthouse Field and the neighboring Its Beach, but also Wilder Ranch State Park, Natural Bridges State Beach and the Santa Cruz Mission. Five years ago, that crew was twice as large. Santa Cruz resident John Laird is now California’s secretary for natural resources and oversees the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

A historic red brick lighthouse overlooks Steamer Lane, a world-class surf break, at the field’s southern edge. Dog walkers, families, tourists and others hike its network of trails, and in June, Steamer Lane Supply, a sandwich and ice cream shop, opened in the field’s existing building. Since the 1980s, plans for sports fields and other facilities in Lighthouse Field have been presented, but each idea failed. “It’s fair to say that the natural park, while it takes some maintenance, takes less than if it were not,” Patton says. “There was an overwhelming public sentiment to keep it natural. I hear it from people all the time who remember that I had something to do with it, and they always say, ‘Thank god you saved Lighthouse Field just natural.’”

city and county had when they were in charge. “In other places, there were long-established relationships in management, and this was thrown into the state budget in its 31st year of operation as a park,” Laird says. “And it probably has not gotten the attention financially from the state that it should have once the city and the county stepped away.” When the Lighthouse Field deal expired in 2007, Laird was a state assemblymember. He brokered a deal that would have allowed the city to buy the field for $1.3 million, but the city balked, believing it would have to pay another $1 or $2 million for an environmental review, says Laird. “I did the most impossible thing you can imagine,” Laird says. “I got language into the state budget that allowed for the state to sell the state park to the city. I can’t tell you how hard that was.” It’s only happened one other time in history, he says. Since it’s written in law, a deal is still possible if the city ever wanted to step forward. Likely, part of the reason the city was wary of a deal in 2007 was that in 2003, the city was sued by opponents of off-leash dog hours at Its Beach. The city lost, and was directed to conduct an environmental study to continue offleash hours. The city declined, and began issuing citations for off-leash dogs. The field was better managed by the city, says Laird. “I’m a firm believer in local government and local control. And when the city and the county were providing the resource in managing
the park, they were never very far from the people, and when you have issues, people address them,” Laird says. “And I think when you have a broad parks system and you have a whole region and you have to patrol the beaches on the north coast or Henry Cowell or Nisene Marks or New Brighton Beach or Manresa or any of the other parks in the system, it’s all about allocating resources.”
SLEEPING PROBLEM Nearly every Tuesday for a year, a group of homeless people and protesters have slept outside the city council chambers, hoping to gain political attention. They call themselves the Homeless Freedom Sleepers, and they’re fighting for the right to sleep outside, which is currently illegal in Santa Cruz. The city is increasingly ticketing people for illegal camping, but resources for homeless people are not improving, says Keith McHenry, co-founder of Food Not Bombs, one of the movement’s organizers. Since the Homeless Services Center cut its programs last July, the transient community has had a rough year, McHenry says. Now fewer than two dozen emergency shelter beds exist for hundreds of homeless people in Santa Cruz. They have no choice but to sleep outside, then are woken several times a night and told to move—what he calls a “cruel and unusual punishment.” The Freedom Sleepers have not been able to change any laws. On March 8, Councilmember Don Lane introduced legislation that would allow people to sleep outside, but not in a blanket or sleeping bag. Lane wrote in his report that

From 2012 to 2014, the number of citations issued by park rangers increased by more than six-fold. Mathews says that the increase in citations is not due to a city initiative, but to public complaints. Residents are increasingly reporting homeless people to 911. Once in a while, the city sweeps its encampments, clearing trash and issuing citations in the city’s greenbelts. “There’s no conscious moving of people from point A to point B,” Mathews says. “Enforcement of camping prohibition is done by complaint in the more populated parts of the city, and it’s done for environmental cleanup and protection in our open spaces.” Martín Bernal, city manager, agrees. “I don’t think the city is pushing people out at night. The city’s just responding,” Bernal says. “We don’t really have a choice. If somebody calls and complains about illegal activity, we’re sort of forced to do that. But again, I don’t think that’s a solution. I don’t think we want to do that. We need to provide places for people to go, alternatives, whether it’s housing, whether it’s services. And that’s what’s lacking.” The city’s influence on public health issues is limited to decisions on funding for the few local nonprofits. For example, the city doesn’t administer the needle exchange or housing for the homeless. It partners with existing groups. “We don’t have a health department or a human services department. We don’t get money to do that, so we’re kind of removed from the expertise and the programs and issues around that. We tend to do what we have at our disposal, which is enforcement,” Bernal says. But until better solutions are found for Santa Cruz’s homelessness issues, its problems in Lighthouse Field are not likely to go away, either. “We’d rather focus on helping people get out of homelessness than giving people a ticket,” Bernal says. “We realize that’s not solving the problem. It’s just moving it.”
K
illegal-camping laws and park curfews are necessary. But if shelters don’t exist and people have nowhere to go, citing people for sleeping criminalizes homelessness, he said. “I continue to wonder what the harm is from the act of sleeping or wrapping oneself in a blanket on a cold night,” Lane writes. “And, more importantly, I wonder what the harm is when a government penalizes people for behavior they cannot and should not avoid.” His proposal was voted down, a major blow to the Freedom Sleepers. Then on June 28 the council outlawed overnight parking of oversized vehicles on city streets and lots, except for residents with permits. The law targets homeless people who park their RVs along the coast. Mayor Cynthia Mathews says the ordinance was formed after years of complaints about the trash and waste left by people in RVs. It’s part of a varied approach to the problem, which includes a subcommittee tasked with prioritizing resources for the homeless and a treatment program for repeat offenders, she says. However, exactly how much the city and county has spent on homeless services is unclear, since funding is tracked only for each program, and not homeless services as a whole. What is clear, however, is that it’s getting harder for homeless people to sleep outside in the city. Since 2012, the city Parks and Recreation Department has increased fencing and security at its city parks. In 2014, a curfew was approved for Cowell Beach, which neighbors Lighthouse Field. “The purpose was to reduce the number of needles, glass, feces, and other misconduct that was occurring during the night,” reads a city parks report. The same year, the city council also passed an ordinance allowing city officers to order cited users to vacate the park or beach for 24 hours. This year, a new ranger position was also added.

“We were sitting around talking and I mentioned this whimsical idea of mine. They loved car culture, and had been involved in automotive design.”-KEITH MUSCUTT <24 one side and exiting on the other.” That idée fixe led to the current project, a whimsical response to Cadillac Ranch. “People have done various riffs on that installation, and I thought, ‘well, this is the place to do it,’” says Muscutt. Given that the idea of finding 10 Cadillacs of that vintage was “a bit of a stretch,” he grins, “we had to come up with something else.” Electric Renaissance is the name of the project, which when launched will not only form a visual homage to the iconic automotive burial, but will also allow Burning Man participants to sit inside fabricated Teslainspired electric vehicles, offering interactivity as well as a witty echo of the now-historic automotive installation. A U.K. native, Muscutt came to Santa Cruz after his Master of Fine Arts work in dramatic arts at UC Davis. When his exchange-program visa ran out, he traveled in Latin America, worked in England and Canada, and came out to UCSC to help set up their fledgling film and electronic music facilities in the late ’70s. He also managed to concoct proto-hippie art happenings and inflatables, complete with sound and light show design, in his psychedelically saturated spare time. Between electronic art design and archaeological treks, Muscutt held down a day job as UCSC Assistant Dean of the Arts until his retirement in 2007. That year marked his first journey to Burning Man. Two years ago Muscutt’s Burning Man team, largely tech directors from UCSC, met up with a group of architects and engineers from Aachen, Germany. “They knew all about Chip and Cadillac Ranch,” Muscutt says of his new German colleagues. “We were sitting around talking and I mentioned this whimsical idea of mine. They loved car culture, and had been involved in automotive design.” His eyes light up. “At first they suggested
burying 10 Priuses.” Then it just morphed into using the Tesla trope. Admitting that “it doesn’t make sense to do a half-million-dollar project for just one week,” Muscutt and Co. are planning a long term version of the Electric Renaissance as a permanent installation. “The time to do it is 2024, the 50th anniversary of Cadillac Ranch. Imagine 10 virtual Teslas on I-80, the route from Silicon Valley to New York.” And in the “be careful what you wish for” category, last October Muscutt submitted a letter of intent to the Burning Man Arts group, which promotes, funds and manages art projects at the celebrated desert gathering. “We got a grant from them in February—Burning Man Arts has been fabulous,” he contends. “It’s the most artist-friendly group I’ve ever seen.” But now the rest of the funds have to be raised—for materials, to fabricate, transport, and site-install the homage to Cadillac Ranch. “Come hell or high water we’re going to make it happen.” The actual fabrication will take place in the Santa Cruz Makerspace in the old Wrigley building. Idea Fab Labs, part of the maker movement, will be fabricating the assembled prototypes—all cut by computer. “And then we’ll burn it!” he adds, with relish. This year marks Muscutt’s ninth year of participation in Burning Man, which he describes as “the best of the Summer of Love, all over again—with intellectual integrity.” Once this project is completed, Muscutt’s lifelong restlessness will doubtless re-emerge. “Whatever happens, next summer I will for sure be back in Peru,” he says with the serious playfulness that seems to inflect every project he touches. “I’ve always said I wanted to do everything—once.” Find Electric Renaissance on Facebook, and their crowd-funding campaign on indiegogo.com.

For Folk Family Revival, Texas-inspired music is all about family and community BY CAT JOHNSON
T
here’s a country and Americana music scene in Texas that’s big enough to keep artists touring yearround without ever leaving the state. Folk Family Revival grew out of this rich musical environment, and its members embrace the Texas sound wholeheartedly. But they also add a heaping dose of rock ’n’ roll—which has the country music purists somewhat skeptical. “Every festival you go to that’s not in Austin has these same Texas country names,” says frontman Mason Lankford. “If you don’t sound like
that, people say, ‘Oh, these guys are different. They sound like something you’d hear in California.’ Then you go to California and people say, ‘Oh, that’s got a Texas flavor to it.’” The members of Folk Family Revival—Mason, his brothers Barrett and Lincoln, and their family friend Caleb Pace—aren’t too concerned with what people call their country/roots/psychedelic/ folk/rock music. They tour the West Coast regularly and understand that they aren’t an easy fit for the Texas country scene. One listen to the band, however, and you can hear the
rough-around-the-edges perspective that makes the Texas sound a favorite of roots fans. The latest Folk Family Revival album, Water Walker, showcases its different dimensions. It kicks off with “If It Don’t Kill You,” a rocking tune about surviving love, which is followed by “Sunshine,” a sweet song full of vulnerability and self-reflection. Then comes “I Drew a Line,” which circles back to outlaw-style country and has the memorable line, “My mama used to tell me, ‘Don’t do drugs unless you do ’em with your friends.’”
Growing up, the Lankford brothers picked up music early. Their dad played bass and always had a few instruments lying around. By the time Mason was 12, he was in his first group and performing in local coffee shops. The music the brothers played in their younger years was “More what people wanted to hear than what [we] wanted to play,” says Lankford, but the experience served as a foundation to grow from. “It wasn’t really what we enjoyed, but it was what we did for where we were at the time,” says Lankford. “Now, we’ve got a record collection that fills up a room pretty good. It’s full of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, the Band. That’s what we shape our sound like. We use a lot of vintage gear and old techniques.” At the heart of Folk Family Revival is family—and the definition goes beyond blood relations for these guys. The band is rooted in a growing community of people that includes other musicians, fans, artists, and friends. Mom and pop Lankford’s house is a bustling place where people come to play music, sleep on the couch, hang out with new and old friends, eat, and connect. The house is homebase for the ever-expanding family. “Sometimes people come up and say, ‘I was going through a hard time and you really helped me with that song,’” says Lankford. “We’ll say, ‘Hey, you need to give me your number and come to the house. You’re one of the dudes that we want to hang out with.” He adds, “We bring in people that strengthen the family.” This spirit of openness and collaboration extends to the music, as well. The members make a point of trying new ideas and changing songs up to keep things fresh. It’s an improvisational approach that doesn’t always work out, but they don’t dwell on that. “There are plenty of messups,” says Lankford, “But you just laugh it off and find a way to play with the crowd. There’s no point in getting hung up on it, you just make sure the next song goes off without a hitch.” INFO: 7:30 p.m., Monday, July 11. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. 335-2800. $10.

LOCAL BAND
HARTLE-KAISERSUNSHINE Eric Clapton was the young protégé guitarist in the Yardbirds in the early ’60s, but a lot of his fans really consider him to have hit his artistic peak in the ’70s. For this reason, local musicians Matt Hartle, Henry Kaiser and Sunshine (Garcia) Becker are focusing specifically on this period for a special one-off tribute show.
JULY 6-12, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“The ’70s period was really good rock ’n’ roll music, including Cream, including Derek and the Dominoes, stuff like that,” says guitarist Hartle.
34
Kaiser will also be playing guitar, and Becker will serve as the lead vocalist. They will also be backed by several musicians, making up a full band, but won’t just be playing the songs as written. In fact, they are taking them into completely unusual directions, giving each famous Clapton favorite an entirely new groove. Some examples include “Cocaine,” which will be done in a salegy rhythm; “Badge,” which will have a ska feel; “Little Wing,” in a carnival style; and “Let It Rain,” done as bluegrass. In other words, it will be completely unique, oddball takes on Clapton favorites like you’ve never heard them before. The idea originated from local experimental guitarist Kaiser. “Kaiser’s a crazy guitar player, very eclectic. I’ll probably be the eye of the hurricane while he goes off to the Netherlands. I hope to join him there for a little while, too,” Hartle says. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 8. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton, $12/ adv, $15/door. 335-2800.
SLAID CLEAVES
WEDNESDAY 7/6 EXPERIMENTAL-POP
HEAVEN FOR REAL It shouldn’t be a surprise that a new band like Heaven For Real can so effectively marry unusual music with pop vocal hooks. Alternative rock bands have been doing it as long as there’s been rock. But … wow. These guys take some mellow rock beats, avant-garde noodling guitar licks and low-key catchy vocals melodies, and create something totally fresh. The Nova Scotia quartet will be releasing their debut LP on July 15, and it’s an oddball-pop gem. It brings to mind bands like Wire, but rather than beating you over the head with their odd approach to songwriting, they ease you into it with a spoonful of sugar. AARON CARNES INFO: 6:30 p.m. SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 426-5242.
THURSDAY 7/7 FOLK
SLAID CLEAVES Part of the vibrant Austin, Texas music scene, Slaid Cleaves is deeply
rooted in the folk-music tradition. In his early years, he drew heavily from Hank Williams material, which he used as a jumping-off point for his own melodic and lyrical style. Cleaves is now known around the world as a master craftsman of songs as he works raw ideas and material into shape with an economy of words and an insightful heart. He then sets them free again to connect with listeners how they may. His latest album, Still Fighting the War, is an emotional, pointed exploration of veterans coming home, having challenges, and not getting the help they need. CAT JOHNSON

JAZZ
HRISTO VITCHEV Born in Bulgaria and raised in Venezuela, Hristo Vitchev has earned international attention while becoming a vital creative catalyst on the Bay Area jazz scene, particularly through his collaborations with other notable guitarists. His stellar quartet with powerhouse bassist Dan Robbins and veteran drummer Mike Shannon
builds on his longtime partnership with Brazilian-born, Portland-based pianist Jasnam Daya Singh (formerly known as Weber Iago and Weber Drummond). It’s easy to get lost in the music’s shimmering timbres, but there’s tremendous harmonic depth and melodic invention along with the rippling sheen. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $23/door. 427-2227.
FRIDAY 7/8 ROCK
COFFIS BROTHERS Gritty, raw and chock full of the blues, the Coffis Brothers and the Mountain Men are about as Santa Cruz as a band can get. Jamie and Kellen Coffis were born and raised in the local hills, blending a sound that combines their hometown with the polished styles of Tom Petty, Steve Earle and Neil Young. Their 2014 album Wrong Side of the Road is packed with stories of rambling through the American countryside, heartbreak, and personal redemption by staying true to their goals. They will be

JON CLEARY Originally from Kent, England, multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Jon Cleary went to New Orleans after graduating from art school, and embedded himself in the city’s historic and lively musical environment. Now a celebrated blues, funk and New Orleans-style pianist who has performed with Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, B.B. King and many more, Cleary has established himself as a mainstay of the Crescent City scene and beyond, even taking home a Grammy this year for Best Regional Roots Music Album with his 2015 album Go Go Juice.

THE HARMED BROTHERS Does the Northwest have its own flavor of American roots music? There is a lot of it up there, like Portland’s Harmed Brothers, a two-piece with guitarists Ray Vietti and banjo player Alex Salcido. Perhaps the reason Northwest towns like Portland have so many indie-folk bands is that they’re the kind of places that attract brokenhearted drifters
and wide-eyed dreamers—what better style of music is there for restless souls than folk and bluegrass? The Harmed Brothers are pros, or at least such true-spirited wandering souls that their music spills over with passion and heavy-hearted emotions. AC

ROOTS ROCK
DANGERMUFFIN Hailing from Folly Beach, South Carolina, Dangermuffin is not your typical Appalachian/roots/rock/groove band. Much of their music is about spirituality and truth seeking; meditation and yoga are regular events, and the band members—Dan Lotti, Mike Sivilli, Steven Sandifer—are all vegans. Perhaps most interestingly, the musical frequency the band records its albums in is chosen for its “nurturing potential.” Most artists today record in 440 Hz, but Dangermuffin records in 432 and 444 Hz, ancient frequencies, the latter of which was preferred by Vivaldi and violin maker Stradivarius. On Sunday, the visionary band hits Felton. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

A native of the Bay Area, tenor saxophonist and composer Dayna Stephens is celebrated as one of his generation’s greatest instrumentalists and bandleaders. With a tone described as sinewy yet supple, and an improvisational ability that the New York Times describes as flowing “with unusual flow fluency,” Stephens draws inspiration from tenor greats Lester Young and Dexter Gordon, as well as soul and pop vocalists, including Luther Vandross and Tony Bennett. Stephens has performed alongside Brad Mehldau, Kenny Barron and many more jazz greats. His quintet for this performance features standout jazz pianist and composer Billy Childs. CAT JOHNSON

Beguiling doc ‘Music of Strangers’ celebrates diversity, humanity LISA JENSEN
S
ome people talk about building a wall. (OK, one fool in particular.) The perfect antidote to that mentality is The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. This beguiling and bittersweet documentary chronicles the efforts of the renowned cellist to found a performing group of international musicians from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, whose entire existence is dedicated to both cultural diversity and common humanity. Filmmaker Morgan Neville won an Oscar for the fabulous 20 Feet From
Stardom, giving back-up singers—the unsung heroines of rock ’n’ roll— their well-deserved moment in the spotlight. He knows a great music doc needs to feature not only wonderful music, but also dynamic personalities to perform it, and The Music of Strangers is incredibly rich in both. In 2000, Yo-Yo Ma got the idea to search the world for masters of traditional instruments for a workshop and performance he wanted to stage at the prestigious Tanglewood Music Festival in Massachusetts. Born in Paris to Chinese parents and raised in the
U.S., Ma embodies the spirit of internationalism. His idea was to follow the ancient “Silk Road” trade route, from Venice to China, scouring the world for master musicians. And what an ensemble he came up with, fascinating in the ways their various instruments, and their playing, as well as their diverse personalities, mesh. Music is the defining element in all their lives. Kinan Azmeh, a clarinetist from Damascus, brings dozens of wooden flutes to children in Syrian refugee camps. Wu Man survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China by
her skill on a lute-shaped string instrument called the pipa. Iranian Kayhan Kalhor is master of another traditional stringed instrument, the kamancheh. When “the revolution” (he says, derisively) hit Iran, he had to leave the country, on foot, with only a backpack and his kamancheh. A rootless loner for years, making his living from an instrument no one outside of Iran had ever heard of, he was able to go home in 2009, where he unexpectedly fell in love and married. But, unable to stomach the government’s repressive policies, he left again. After Tanglewood, the players were looking for an excuse to keep up the ensemble, beyond the fact that it was just so much fun playing together. One year later, 9/11 happened. In a world turned instantly xenophobic, Ma decided it was more important than ever to maintain and promote the cooperative spirit of the ensemble. “My father doesn’t think of himself as a cellist,” says his son, Nicholas. “He wants to change the world; he just happens to have a cello in his hand.” Six albums and several globe-trotting performances later, the Silk Road Ensemble continues. Insightful commentary is provided by the musicians themselves, other musical observers, and various composers who have written for the ensemble. “We don’t all necessarily speak perfect English,” says Chinese composer Tan Dun. “But we all speak perfect music.” And the musical performances are mostly thrilling, whether on a concert stage, or in an open courtyard in Venice, or around a dinner table, where the musicians start exuberantly chiming their wine glasses. These folks understand that music can’t stop a bullet, or feed the starving. And some critics complain they are “diluting” cultural music traditions by blending them in the ensemble. But the film demonstrates how the ensemble helps its members keep their individual musical identities alive, while challenging the fear of the “other” so prevalent in today’s world. THE MUSIC OF STRANGERS: YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE (***1/2) out of four With Yo-Yo Ma. Directed by Morgan Neville. An Orchard release. Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Raising his six children to be philosopher kings in the forest of the Pacific West, Viggo Mortensen is thrown back into the harsh truth of the real world when his wife suddenly passes away. Matt Ross directs. Frank Langella and Kathryn Hahn co-star. (R) 118 minutes. THE INNOCENTS Poland, 1945. Not the best place to be, for anyone, but when a young French Cross doctor discovers that the local convent is aiding pregnant nuns, she realizes that even with the war raging on, there are other forces that offer a strife all of their own. Anne Fontaine directs. Lou de Laâge, Agata Buzek, and Agata Kulesza co-star. English Subtitles. (Pg-13) 115 minutes. MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES The fact that Brosef McBroferston himself, Zac Efron (who also rides sharks in his spare time) is in this is negated by the presence of the genius magical-unicorn life force that is Aubrey Plaza. You may proceed. Jake Szymanski directs. Adam Devine and Anna Kendrick co-star. (R) 98 minutes.
JULY 6-12, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS The only way we could be more excited about an entire animated film about what pets do when their masters are away is if Liam Hemsworth was in it. Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney direct. Jenny Slate, Albert Brooks, Kevin Hart co-star. (PG) 90 minutes.

WIENER-DOG Every dog owner should probably see this movie. Did the title not convince you? Todd Solondz directs. Greta Gerwig, Keaton Nigel Cooke, Tracy Letts costar. (R) 90 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. ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Oh gee, a freethinking woman who’s been diagnosed with
“female hysteria” for defying the societal standards of her time— where have we heard this before? Lewis Carroll was so before his time, and in this adaptation Alice seeks not only to save her friends, but also finds herself in a battle against Time himself. Helena Bonham Carter looks smashing, as always, and Sacha Baron Cohen plays Time. While it might be mildly terrifying for children, and Tim Burton isn’t directing this one, for a colorful fantasy and fantastic story, how could you stay away? James Bobin directs. Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp co-star. (PG) 113 minutes. THE BFG Roald Dahl’s classic BFG brought to the screen with Mark Rylance as the beloved vegetarian giant. Steven Spielberg directs. Rebecca Hall and Bill Hader co-star. (PG) 117 minutes. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE An overweight high-school kid with braces singing “Never Gonna Get It” grows into the Rock we all know and love (he saves puppies in real life, guys), who’s joined the CIA. Poor Kevin Hart keeps ending up in long, involved car rides where the driver is way better equipped to handle the situation than he is. Rawson Marshall Thurber directs. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danielle Nicolet co-star. (PG-13) 114 minutes. THE CONJURING 2 Lorraine and Ed, crosses turning upside down, murder, suicide, both, whatever. We can’t tell you what the first one was about because certain film blurb writers are too afraid of scary movies to watch them with the sound on—or, like, at all. But, chances are that if you’re up for watching the second one you probably liked the first one and IMDB gives it 9.1 stars out of ten, so those are all good signs for fans of horror films and paranormal investigators. James Wan directs. Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Madison Wolfe co-star. (R) 143 minutes. DARK HORSE The mines closed, the beers opened. What was left for a close-knit Welsh mining community? The races, as a group of friends from a working men’s club decide. They take on the “sport of kings” and, despite all odds, their fierce working-class horse
shakes up the competition. Louise Osmond directs. (PG) 85 minutes.
Lanthimos directs. Jessica Barden co-stars. (R) 118 minutes.
Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo, Mykelti Williamson co-star. (R) 105 minutes.
FINDING DORY There are no words, only happy squeals of joy. Now go find that fish! Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane direct. Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill co-star. (PG) 103 minutes.
LOVE & FRIENDSHIP “How jolly, tiny green balls—what are they called?” “Peas.” Oh, Jane Austen, this is going to be fun. Whit Stillman directs. Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, and Xavier Samuel co-star. (PG) 92 minutes.
FREE STATE OF JONES Inspired by the life of Newton Knight, this film features Matthew McConaughey as the Mississippi farmer who led a gang of rebels against the Confederate Army and declared Jones County a free, mixed-race community. Gugu MbathaRaw and Mahershala Ali co-star. (R) 139 minutes.
MAGGIE’S PLAN Maggie meets John. John’s wife is a crazy. Maggie falls in love with John. Then she falls out of love with John.“Too bad you can’t give him back to his ex-wife”... Maggie has a plan: set John back up with his crazy ex-wife. Rebecca Miller directs. Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore co-star. (R) 98 minutes.
THE NICE GUYS Ryan Gosling as a bumbling, crass detective with a God complex, and a shameless, greasy Russell Crowe to keep him in check— with all the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll of a mob-infested 1970s Los Angeles. These gentlemen have never looked better. Shane Black directs. Angourie Rice co-stars. (R) 116 minutes.
GENIUS Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney—oh my! Jude’s southern accent though … Michael Grandage directs. (PG-13) 104 minutes.
MONEY MONSTER George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunited on the big screen! Unfortunately, it’s under slightly stressful conditions as Clooney plays a financial TV host who is held up on air by a crazed investor who takes over the studio. Jodie Foster directs. Jack O’Connell costars. (R) 98 minutes.
INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Twenty years after Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum fought off the invading aliens, the galactic bullies are back and, with 11 writers on this sequel and a $200-million budget for special effects, it’s theoretically bigger than ever. Buckle up: “she has arrived.” Roland Emmerich directs. Liam Hemsworth co-stars. (PG-13) 120 minutes. THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Man has midlife crisis, is disillusioned with life in the big city and a nagging wife, returns to the jungle to finally get some peace and quiet. David Yates directs. Margot Robbie, Alexander Skarsgård, Ella Purnell co-star. (PG-13) 109 minutes. THE LOBSTER The first thing that Colin Farrell hears upon arriving at the City is, “If you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here, you’ll turn into an animal.” It’s not a joke. Who knew someone could so expertly and macabrely reinvent the romantic comedy? It’s been called the year’s most original movie, and with Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz, John C.Reilly and Léa Seydoux as players in this not-so-distant dystopian future—where singles are given only 45 days to fall in love, or are turned into animals— that sounds about right. Yorgos
THE NEON DEMON Art-horror with a disturbing take on the modeling industry, from the director of Drive. Nicolas Winding Refn directs. Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves co-star. (R) 117 minutes. NOW YOU SEE ME 2 Well, the tricks are convincing and so is the music, so we’ve got a cautious excitement for the return of “The Four Horsemen” (does anyone else think that’s a dumb name for a bunch of Vegas magicians?) with a cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan and … wait for it … Daniel Radcliffe? Jon M. Chu directs. (PG-13) 129 minutes. OUR KIND OF TRAITOR It must be a good week for the Skarsgård family: son Alexander is Tarzan in the aforementioned big-budget remake, and father Stellan plays a desperate Russian oligarch who seeks help from a couple on vacation (Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris) in this film. We are totally OK with this Swedish invasion. Susanna White directs. Damian Lewis co-stars. (R) 107 minutes. THE PURGE: ELECTION DAY Rick and Morty’s version is probably better. James DeMonaco directs.
THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks. That’s a joke. Still, an updating of wayout-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably be inevitable. Jaume Collet-Serra directs. Óscar Jaenada and Brett Cullen costar. (PG-13) 87 minutes. SWISS ARMY MAN Paul Dano tries to hang himself on a beach, when at the last minute he sees Daniel Radcliffe washed up on the shore. Naturally, the situation devolves to where Dano drags him around with him, sees a water fountain spurt from his mouth, uses him as a rocket and may or may not ride him into the waves like a magical dolphin. Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert direct. Mary Elizabeth Winstead costars. (R) 95 minutes. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a ... giant green turtle wearing a do-rag. Plus Megan Fox and Laura Linney, naturally. Dave Green directs. Will Arnett and Tyler Perry co-star. (PG-13) 112 minutes. WARCRAFT Oh, hey, a movie based on a video game that looks a lot like a video game. Duncan Jones directs. Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster co-star. (PG-13) 123 minutes. WEINER He was the man who was fighting for the little guy, and then his, erm, little guy got the best of him. This documentary is the story of how Anthony Weiner tried to overcome a career-ending embarrassment and the hilarious, often painful ways in which he forged through the final death sputterings of a disastrous mayoral campaign. Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg direct. Huma Abedin, Amit Bagga, Adam S. Barta co-star. (R) 96 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK potatoes and pencil-thin steamed asparagus. My lobster mac and cheese involved gooey, delicious orecchiette pasta oozing with Gouda, Swiss and Parmesan cheeses embedded with fat chunks of moist tender lobster. The menu, so far, sticks to updated seafood house classics. The views of the water are unsurpassed, but there are so many sweet details at Splash, from aquatic murals on the ceiling to sleek recycled wood on floors and lots of other chic touches. Dreamy and exciting all at once. And, thanks to the digital ocean projections after dark in the lounge area, Splash is bound to make an after-hour ripple. On our way out, we took a moment to gawk at the bronze fountain of decoratively interlocking octopuses, by UCSC foundry star Sean Monaghan. All in all, we liked what we saw and tasted. Splash was worth the wait. Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf, open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. 466-9766.

Craft cocktails, seafood and ocean views at the wharf’s long-awaited ‘Splash’ BY CHRISTINA WATERS
S
chools of silver fish swim along the ceiling of the glamorous new Splash, echoing the silver glints of sun reflecting on the water outside. The long-awaited brainchild of Germaine Akin (owner of Red and 515) and Martin Drobac, opened softly last weekend to spectacular views of surfers, swimmers, and sailboats—and even the water below the wharf, thanks to embedded glass “viewpoints” in the restaurant’s floor. Two bars—a third if you count the oyster bar—greet patrons, the
front bar lined with aquamarine lava lamps, the back featuring, yes, a rotating floor, which means that everyone sitting at this showcase circular bar has a view of the ocean. Akin left no detail unattended in appointing her latest restaurant. Serpentine banquettes curve deeply enough to mimic private booths, smartly upholstered in hypnotic abstract patterns. A long table welcomes large parties in the center of the dining room, next to a hemispherical booth big enough to hold eight.
With Martin’s brother Peter Drobac greeting the invited group of guests last week, the soft opening went brilliantly. And gorgeous cocktails (we’d expect no less from the mixology standards set by the 515 and Red) were the rule. We started with a fine Caesar salad and munched on warm beer-battered artichokes. Fab with house tarragon ranch dressing. The fried chokes arrived in a yellow enamel, napkinlined colander. Katya’s entree of New York steak was done exactly as requested, and arrived with scalloped
From the restless culinary genius of Fran—The Truck Stop—Grayson, comes an idea that was way overdue in the West Cliff Drive neighborhood. Now there’s a place to sit, grab some super delicious power food and drink, and check out the waves at the same time. It’s Steamer Lane Supply, designed and built by the super-clever Grayson. Those inviting aqua chairs out front are your invitation to scarf down a serious quesadilla or poke bowl with fruit drink, and refuel after a morning on the waves. Even if you’re just walking from the wharf over to Lighthouse Point, you’re sure to spot this low-key cafe right next to the shower and parking lot. From Tuesday through Sunday, from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. (expanded hours coming soon), the sleek little kitchen, counter and outdoor seating offers freshly made easy-to-eat items, plus the killer orange “S” logo is visible from a mile away. If you’ve ever fallen in love with Grayson’s Truck Stop-enlightened fresh fish tacos, you’ll be mad for Steamer Lane Supply. It does just what it says. Inspired street food is now inspired surf food. Come by and hang out.

Finding Farms The Farm Bureau is making it easy to buy produce direct BY AARON CARNES
D
id you know there are more than 50 farms in the area that you can buy directly from? Sure, farmers markets are cool, but so is driving up to a farm and buying your produce a few feet from where it was grown. The Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau has been maintaining a map for residents of where they can find these farms. It’s been updated every year for the past 41 years, and focuses primarily on Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, with a few farms in Monterey and San Benito counties. Just a few years ago, they even developed an interactive mobile app version. We spoke with Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau Executive Director Jess Brown about this cool local farm guide.
What inspired this map? JESS BROWN: What has really changed over the past 41 years is the strong interest in the public in dealing directly with the growers. People want to know exactly where their food comes from. Forty-one years ago the farmers market hadn’t really started. This was at the forefront of this public interaction directly with
the farmer. Slowly farmers markets started sprouting up. It was a slow process. Now we have several farmers markets within the map.
What kinds of foods are available to get fresh off the farm? It depends on the season. In the spring there’s this big surge for berries because people know that those are being picked fresh, and some of the places have “U-Pick” operations where you can go out and actually pick yourself. Of course when you get to the fall, people want to go where the pumpkins are. You move into Christmas and there’s Christmas trees. Apples are a big deal here. Row crops, meaning vegetables, are a big deal. We have egg farms. You could create a menu—breakfast, lunch and dinner—from those farms.
Why have farms always thrived here? Agriculture has always been a leading industry in this area because the cool coastal climate makes it conducive to grow a lot of the crops, like Brussels sprouts, artichokes, cauliflower, apples. 724-1356, sccfb.com.

he Bargetto twins, Peter and Paul, invited me and my husband for lunch on one of the days they were bottling. Bottling is exhausting, so they were all glad to sit down with us and take a break. The Bargettos, along with their partner Jon Morgan—who was scurrying around that day doing a multitude of jobs—are the main team behind the wonderful wines produced at Soquel Vineyards. As Peter poured some of his 2014 Partners’ Reserve Nelson Vineyard Chardonnay to have with our lunch, it struck me what top-notch wines are coming out of Soquel Vineyards—and what a ton of work it is to run a winery. But it can pay off hugely, as is the case with this superior Chardonnay ($28). It got a 91-point rating from the July issue of Wine Enthusiast, and a double gold from the 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. “This steep mountain wine dances across the palate with apple and pear,” say the proprietors, “and follows with layers of sweet French oak. Lemongrass flows from the bouquet—
classic!” they add. It’s well worth a trip to Soquel Vineyards to try this Chardonnay and all the other wines they make. They have a welcoming tasting room and a beautiful patio where you can sit and linger. Soquel Vineyards, 8063 Glen Haven Road, Soquel, 462-9045. soquelvineyards.com. Open for tasting Saturday and Sunday.
LA VIE’S FLU FIGHTER WELLNESS SHOT
I recently had a terrible bout of flu, which totally flattened me. While still feeling miserable, I happened to be at the Walnut Creek farmers market and came across our local La Vie products. One of them was a small bottle with “Flu Fighter” on the label ($3), so I gave it a whirl and downed it. Fresh ginger juice, oregano oil, fresh lemon juice and cayenne—all organic— zapped through me and I experienced a little surge of energy. While not a cure for flu (I actually ended up with antibiotics), the “Flu Fighter” certainly helped, and it tastes great. For locations of La Vie wellness products, visit drinklavie.com.
H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CRAB, SCARAB, TORTOISE, CHERUBIM
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 6, 2016 We are in the month and sign of Cancer. Looking around our world, we might see images that pertain to Cancer; crab, scarab, tortoise, gates, waters, mother with child, angels (the Cherubim who protect mothers and children). There are always three levels to everything in our world: personality, Soul and Spirit. On the personality-building level, Cancer is about mother, birth, family, nurturing and nourishment of all life. On the Soul level, Cancer is about developing the mind (lower and higher) and intelligently working in harmony and Right Relations with all Earth’s kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human). These are the foundations upon which the new culture
ARIES Mar21–Apr20 The sign Cancer focuses Aries on home and family— past, present and future. You are to build a lighted house wherever you live. A spiritually oriented house filled with light and love, creating a new environment. Assume kitchen duties, nurturing others through food. Aries works fast in the kitchen or interest and energy are lost. Don’t give up. Make contact with family far away. Build, tend to or fix a gate.
TAURUS Apr21–May21 You have family memories, especially of mother. Memories help us better understand and appreciate our origins. Although still influenced by childhood patterns (we all are), a new sense of self-liberation is also occurring. You may find yourself in a car driving somewhere far away, seeking a new natural and balanced way of life. Keep driving.
GEMINI May 22–June 20
and civilization, the Aquarian new world, is created. Because Cancer is the sign of humanity (the masses, ruled by the moon) and the sign where Spirit (new ideas) enters matter (the “gate in”), during the month of Cancer we ponder upon world events as they affect the people of the Earth. We also prepare for the coming seasons, autumn and winter. With Sun, Moon Mercury and Venus in Cancer, we find we are imitating the crab. We’re in and out of water. We retreat into the salty brine, but cannot survive there. We’re deeply sensitive, feeling intensely the world’s psychic currents.
will be completed, and you will feel the pride of accomplishment. You’re so busy that travel may be an unavailable luxury. However, should you take to the road, share information—take photos, write about what you see, experience, discover, like, don’t like. Include parks, people, architecture and foods you eat. Everyone’s interested. You’re interesting.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Deep within, where no one really sees or understands, you have a perennial question. You wonder where and what your purpose and place are. As you observe others, they seem to know something you don’t (not true). Is there someone in your life who listens deeply? Now is the time to speak with them. It’s a good time to take short trips, absorbing new ideas, towns, people and cities. Instead of you finding the answer, what you are seeking finds you.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20
Cancer always seeks to expand self-identity. What would expand your self-awareness, self-identity and self-esteem? Do you need new clothes, shoes, a new style? Does daily life need plans reorganized, initiating a new phase of life? When environments are ordered a new fertile field appears, and Spirit enters matter more easily. During this month a gate opens. Plant happy flowers. Happy Birthday.
Do you feel a desire to travel, to expand, to study and learn new things? Your life’s focus is on those close to you. They are your responsibility. And Capricorns are the zodiac’s responsible ones. It’s most important now to offer greater nurturance, kindness and care through practical discipline. Discipline can be given calmly, words spoken over and over. Discipline nurtures. Sometimes others don’t know how to nurture. Well, then, you’re to teach them. One more task toward freedom.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Have new ideas been impressing your mind with new possibilities? Remember to balance your mind’s activity with physical activity. After daily walks looking at gardens, consider a change of appearance—clothes, hair, shoes. Inner and outer apparel. Find the finest, best-made and most comfortable. This is a part of your new, well-dressed creative self.
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 There’s so much to do behind the scenes. Each day, accomplish one task at a time. Eventually everything

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Your life is most likely very unusual, with a unique sort of reality and different ways of doing things. You’ve taken the road less traveled, which is courageous to some, but for you, your only choice. While freedom is your priority, friendships offer significant meaning to your life. They’re your resource, and when giving to them, you’re nurtured. It’s good to know and recognize this. Goodness sheds your Aquarian values all over everyone.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Ask yourself what plans make the most sense concerning your future care and safety. You will experience new revelations concerning your self -identity and as new needs arise, new realizations concerning how you live will become relevant. In the meantime, you need a daily environment that includes balance and beauty. Create a home journal, and place in it photos of all that you love. Include a garden surrounding a warm natural pool. Surround all your hopes, wishes and dreams with Goodwill.

Careful with spending, as you could assume a large debt or overspend very easily. On the other hand, you may finally begin to be more practical concerning how to use money and resources. When you do so, a lifetime-afterlifetime lesson will have been learned. Know at first we stumble and simply overdo things. Then we finally learn how to balance and harmonize all that we have. You’re in between.
You may have been in a sort of solitude. Gradually you realize your need for closer contacts, communication and love in your life. A seed is being planted concerning goodwill toward others, something that’s in your heart but not always in your actions. Sometimes you’re shy. Allow yourself a little phase of moodiness and nondiscipline. Then be willing to activate love/wisdom.
Meine Stein!
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
Are you pondering upon finances? New ideas appear on how to use resources wisely and for a future goal. Create an imagination journal. Write down that each day you receive $1,000. That’s $31,000 per month. Each day you must spend $500. What would you spend it on? It’s always good, with money, to tithe first. With so much suffering in the world today, where would you tithe?

BILL DAVIS, 38-year Customer, Santa Cruz/Sacramento
Occupation: Lawyer Hobbies: The outdoors, bike riding, running, sports/big San Francisco Giants’ fan Astrological Sign: Virgo You live part-time in Sacramento and shop at Shopper’s? BILL: “My law firm is in Sacramento so we’re there Monday thru Thursday.” LAURIE: “When we’re in Santa Cruz, I’m in here all the time, almost every day. Shopper’s is my close personal friend. We have a big house with a view and entertain friends quite a bit. We do a lot of Mexican food — tacos and enchiladas — plus Italian, French, and more, using a variety of Shopper’s meats and products.” BILL: “I love Shopper’s seafood — I can trust it. The halibut, salmon, shellfish/crab, are always fresh. We bring food back to Sacramento.”
Really? Why? LAURIE: “Shopper’s meats are not prepackaged. We take back a good variety, including marinated meats. Our Sacramento friends are always dying for us to barbecue! I do a lot recipes which call for the unusual — miso paste as an example — and Shopper’s always has what I need.” BILL: “That’s just one of the reasons we don’t shop big stores. Here, we know where the food comes from, like the produce: much of it is local and organic — our preference. I think it’s great that Shopper’s gives back to the community by supporting a lot of fundraisers, some of which we’re involved in as well”
What would you tell a new community resident about Shopper’s? LAURIE: “It’s a really nice comfy, welcoming store, where you’ll find everything you need, including so many awesome local products!” BILL: “I think they go out of their way to support county-wide vendors. They have knowledgeable people who will help you pick out wines, as they have a great selection of reds, whites, champagnes, also excellent gins and other spirits We pretty much celebrate every day!” LAURIE: “I love always seeing the same friendly, helpful people. It feels good to walk in and be sincerely acknowledged.”
