OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE Underneath the bright sun and surf that spills across our postcards and Insta pics is another Santa Cruz. It’s a shadowy world of addiction that, for most locals, only sees the light when there’s a story every few years about Santa Cruz County’s endless heroin problem, or a meth lab busted in the mountains. But for some, that darker world is the reality of everyday life. While most of us would agree that the cycle of addiction is never more tragic than when young people are trapped in it, we often have so little understanding of what keeps them there that the idea of making the problem any better seems hopeless. That’s why Tess Sweet’s Cleaner Daze project—and Anne-Marie Harrison’s cover story about it this

Re: “The Nature of Medicine” (GT, 8/3): I like the article, it was very clear and interesting. I do think you downplayed the dangers of kratom though. By itself it isn’t dangerous besides that it gives some people jaundice. People are combining it with other substances to aid their withdrawal symptoms and dying. I’m a big fan of herbalism, but people seem to get this idea that natural remedies are all safe. People seem to forget that some plants are poisonous, and some are addictive or habit forming. In southeast Asia they often cut down the kratom trees because especially the elderly there become addicted. They develop hepatic faces and it doesn’t seem to be viewed positively there.
that, unbeknownst to me, they have been sharing public bathrooms with me for my entire life without incident, and I should have been terrified the entire time. Similarly, with former House Speaker Dennis Hastert admitting that he sexually abused boys while he was their wrestling coach, and former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky having been convicted of serially molesting dozens of children, it is clear that anyone who participates in athletics, especially coaches, must be barred from all public bathrooms. Athletes can simply plan accordingly and use their private bathrooms at home. Finally, given that 80 to 90 percent of sexual assault survivors know their assailants, all private bathrooms in family homes must be outlawed, as everyone who uses them knows each other.

week—is so important. More than ever, it seems like storytelling is what’s helping us better understand many of the issues that would normally overwhelm us; think of how much the average person’s understanding of the American criminal justice system has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years thanks to podcasts like Serial and Undisclosed, documentaries like Making a Murderer and even fictional shows like Orange is the New Black and The Night Of. Sweet’s web dramedy hopes to have a similar effect on the understanding of addiction among young people, and to achieve that goal she and her creative partners have drawn on stories from right here in Santa Cruz County. In this issue, Sweet and the stars of the show—most of whom have had struggles with addiction themselves—take the first step toward fostering that increased empathy by opening up about their own experiences.

The juicer at the downtown New Leaf juice bar never seems to stop running. The byproduct of its amazing fresh juices is a composter’s dream: fresh organic pulp from a variety of vegetables and fruits. Store staff say that if somebody—a farmer or mad gardener, perhaps?—would like to come pick up the huge supply of pulp, head down to New Leaf and have a chat with the folks at the juice bar.

Kianti’s took first place; Soif second; Assembly third.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 10 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 This would be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture. You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment. Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out stuff that makes you feel cramped. Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs. If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

Here comes a special occasion—a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In the coming weeks, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling; the blueprint of your destiny; the mission you came to earth to fulfill. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete embodiment of your soul’s code? Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Maybe you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engagement with emptiness. Celebrate this opening into the unknown. Ease into the absence. Commune with the vacuum. Ask the nothingness to be your teacher. What’s the payoff? This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19
Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.
I placed a wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head. It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t—and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.
Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel. Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, ‘'m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
You Geminis are as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity. How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings—as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

longer need. Give thanks to the secret intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.
Although you may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your "rescue" is already underway. Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost nothing left to cling to. Time to release it! So what comes next?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 What you are most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination. So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available. You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Are you ready for your mid-term exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well. Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. 1. You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. 2. Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need. 3. Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems? 4. If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.

Sheriff announces changes as deputies prepare to roll out body cams BY ARDY RAGHIAN
A
s officer-involved shootings routinely make headlines, protesters around the country have responded by shutting down highways, clogging city streets and filling up Twitter feeds with frustrated hashtags. It was in this atmosphere that Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart told a community meeting, “In my 27 years in law enforcement, I have never seen this level of public concern about police integrity.” That same afternoon seven months ago, Hart announced efforts to partner more closely with groups and individuals outside the department.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office has since become the first agency in California to implement all 79 of President Barack Obama’s 21st Century Policing recommendations. Hart also assigned two 20-person task forces—one internal team and another of community members—to identify the most effective ways for the sheriff’s department to increase trust and transparency. The six-month process wrapped up in June, and Deputy Chief Craig Wilson says the findings all boil down to a “culture change.” The sheriff’s department report will be released at an event on Wednesday, Aug. 17 at the sheriff’s
office community room on Soquel Drive. It’s split into six pillars, like “Building Trust and Legitimacy,” “Technology and Social Media,” and “Officer Wellness and Safety.” A list of 18 proposed changes—some of which are already in effect— includes taking in more performance feedback, creating a use-of-force review panel and having deputies interact with young people in parks to create a safe and comfortable space. It also includes the decision to introduce an exciting, but sometimes controversial new technology: body cameras. The technology has been hailed by some for the transparency >13

It’s hard for the old-guard left in Santa Cruz and local students to agree on many things, but the local bus agency certainly brought them together this year. A 30 percent cut in bus service infuriated the community when information on how severe the changes would be became public, and the agency began to seek input on vital routes. In their outreach effort, METRO leaders like Barrow Emerson, the agency’s planning and development manager, provided an opportunity for other partners to step forward in the search for new funding sources. Two local colleges eventually did, chipping in more than a combined $1 million. The METRO board has since approved a far-less-than-expected 10 percent service cut—still nothing to celebrate—which goes into effect Thursday, Sept. 8. “This was the most dramatic thing I’ve ever been involved in,” says Emerson, who has worked for 14 agencies across the country during his 38 nomadic years in the transportation field. “Thirty percent was going to be as bad as you would ever have seen at a public transit agency. Ten percent is bad, but it does happen at times at bus companies, because you deal with the ebbs and flows of economies and external funding sources.” Emerson, a self-described “geography geek” sporting a red-white-and-blue Grateful Dead tie, says he plans to finish his career in Santa Cruz over the coming years and retire here. The new funding comes from a few different places. Some dollars will come from Cabrillo College, which is kicking in $944,000 annually to preserve routes like 91X that are crucial to the college, and allow students to take the bus by flashing their student IDs, just as UCSC students do. UCSC, meanwhile, has agreed to put an extra $600,000 a year toward METRO, which was recently looking to cut as much as $6.5 million from its budget. Emerson and Alex Clifford, the METRO agency’s CEO, also scoured budgets to eliminate

NEWS FRAMING REFORM <11 it offers, and castigated by others for potential privacy issues. Before making their decision, sheriff officials met with the district attorney and public defender, as well as members of both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to ensure they are doing “what’s best for the community,” Wilson says. National ACLU members began questioning the pros and cons of body cameras two years ago after Obama’s announcements in support of body cameras, which the president followed with various funding proposals. Sure, the technology could better shine a light on police brutality, but ACLU leaders worried that cameras could end up as just another tool for government surveillance. The civil rights organization has decided in 2016 that the benefits outweigh the risks. “Primarily, body cameras should be used as tools for accountability, transparency, and building trust in communities, which we think is clearly not there,” says Tessa D’Arcangelew, a Northern California ACLU spokesperson. Generally speaking, cameras, which sheriff deputies expect to start wearing in January, could provide more clarity in use-of-force situations, like shootings. “They’re going to give the community more of a reference point,” says Deputy Sheriff Daniel Cruz, who served on the sheriff’s task
force. “Instead of a ‘he/she said, I said’ situation, there’s going to be a capturing of the moment.” So far this year, there have been 564 documented instances of people being killed by police in the U.S.; in 151 of those, the deceased was unarmed, according to a Washington Post database. Since 2010, the sheriff’s department has had two fatal officer-involved shootings, the latest being last year, when a mentally ill high schooler reportedly walked out of his house pointing a rifle at a deputy. The body cameras won’t record constantly. There are specific instances when officers will turn them on, including whenever deputies anticipate they’ll have to use force during an arrest, when they encounter resistance or when they’re conducting a search. “We’ve struck a good balance between individual privacy and the need to record events of high public interest,” says Wilson. He adds that body cameras will increase public confidence and may deter “poor behavior” by people they encounter. In San Diego, for example, officers saw a 40.5 percent decrease in complaints and a 46.5 percent decrease in use of force after adopting body cameras, according to a 2015 department report. Body cameras are “the way of the future for police departments,” says Watsonville Police Sergeant Tony Magdayao. Both Watsonville and Scotts Valley police plan to
implement body cameras within the next two years. Capitola police have had body cameras for a year now, and, according to Lt. Steve Walpole, it’s been “absolutely positive.” Santa Cruz Police Community Relations Specialist Joyce Blaschke says Santa Cruz officers are also “considering” body cameras. Of course, body cameras haven’t increased public confidence everywhere. In Fresno, Californians were outraged to see police-released body camera footage last month of an unarmed 19-year-old being shot multiple times in the back. In Chicago, a police officer was not recording with his body camera when he shot and killed an 18-year-old, who was unarmed—just one of many cases nationwide in which an officer used force on someone with their camera turned off. (Chicago police have stripped the involved officers of their police authority pending an investigation and, more recently, released a different officer’s body camera footage, which shows at least two officers opening fire.) Also, an audio-free video, filmed from someone’s chest, often provides an imperfect picture of what actually happened. At this point, the ACLU’s biggest concern is with the draft policy, which should get a final approval from the sheriff’s office in January. Deputies can review their footage, according to the policy, prior to making an official statement. Some cities, like San Francisco and Richmond, don’t >16
WOOD CAUSE A fire raging in Big Sur prompted the nearby Henry Miller Library to cancel their scheduled rock show Saturday. After weeks of devastation in the Central Coast forest, the development felt like an additional blow to fans of the Georgia-based Futurebirds—at least until promoters decided to improvise.
“At that last minute, we decided, because of the cancellation, why don’t we make it a benefit for the fire?” says organizer Stevee Stubblefield. “And thankfully, the Kuumbwa’s open that night.” And so, Stubblefield and members of the Do-ItOurselves crowd, which puts on a festival by the same name each spring, decided
to host a benefit for the Soberanes Fire on Saturday, Aug. 13. The fire, which is within five miles of the library, has burned more than 67,000 acres, and is now 50 percent contained, according to CalFire. It has resulted in one death and three injuries, claimed 57 homes and 11 outbuildings, and 410 more structures are currently
threatened. Sky Country, a Big Sur band, and Kelly Koval, a Santa Cruz musician, will open the Kuumbwa show. Stubblefield hopes to have artists in the Kuumbwa courtyard to create a vibrant community atmosphere. Futurebirds play Kuumbwa Jazz at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13. Tickets are $15. JACOB PIERCE

WILD RIDE <11 inefficiencies, cutting vacant positions and incentivizing early retirement. Lastly, a countywide transportation sales tax measure hits ballots in November that would provide an extra $2.75 million dollars in transportation funding if approved by a two-thirds majority. Still, some of the bus supporters aren’t ready to cheerlead the METRO’s direction. “Little by little, they are reducing services,” says activist Ernestina Saldaña, a member of the Santa Cruz Bus Riders Association. “Last year it was the services of ParaCruz. This year it was the services to some areas. And they are talking already about increasing the fare for next year. So, this problem is not solved.” Saldaña is at the downtown farmers
market on a hot Wednesday afternoon, a pale blue “Bernie 2016” sticker plastered to the back of her electric wheelchair. She’s handing out fliers for Santa Cruz City Council candidate Drew Glover, partly because he’s promised a “fully funded” METRO. Saldaña, like Glover, opposes November’s comprehensive transportation measure because she wants to see a more complete bus system, one with expanded service and affordable fares for lowincome people. Glover’s plan—and Saldaña’s too—is to create a different measure in a few years that gives no money to the Highway 1 improvements, and prioritizes buses instead. It’s a gamble that would hurt local transportation, at least in the short term, because it’s hard to say when, or even if, county leaders and voters would
support such a measure. But Saldaña wants METRO to make a serious overhaul of its system and update its schedules—something it hasn’t done since 1996—making it easier for people to get to places on time and meet connections. “Look around you—how much the city has grown, how much the county has grown. And we’re still using the schedules that were designed for 20 years ago,” she says. “Of course, we need to update that. You get on the 71 thinking it’s going to take you one hour to come to Santa Cruz? In reality it’s one hour and a half, one hour and 45 minutes.” Emerson says that should the agency come across more money, its biggest goal would be to improve service—extending hours of operation and trip frequency.
Ideally, that would make it possible for someone working late at a service job to get back home to South County, for instance, he says, an issue Saldaña also worries about. That network, Emerson adds, also makes it more enticing for white-collar workers to ditch their cars and get around on public transit. “Ultimately, it’s just that the person says, ‘The bus system in this county is good enough. I can make all my trips—or the majority, or any amount of my trips—on the bus,’” Emerson says. Transportation experts have other visions farther down the road, as well. METRO just landed a grant, along with Monterey-Salinas Transit, to study bus-onshoulder transit, which could move forward an idea allowing buses to drive on the shoulder of Highway 1. Other struggles may loom ahead. METRO’s five-year plan predicts a deficit three years from now. Emerson says the agency should be able to weather that through smarter marketing—like more advertising inside and outside of buses and the retail spaces for lease at the bus stations. “We’ll keep looking at how we run the service—nipping and tucking, not this massive thing that we just did,” Clifford says. When looking at November’s ballot measure, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what the success or failure of the measure means for the bus agency, which just won two competitive grants to buy new electric buses. According to the METRO board’s minutes, leaders would lay off four drivers if the measure fails in November, meaning route cuts. If it passes, there will be extra money—more than enough to erase the deficit three years from now. The board has not yet signaled how much of that cash would go to operational costs (like restoring service), capital costs (like replacing its aging fleet) or supporting reserves, which are now thinner after the board depleted them to maintain service, while revenues declined through the Great Recession. “This board has always had a high degree of sensitivity toward retaining business on the street,” says Clifford, who’s been with the agency for two years. “That’s the business we’re in. And nobody knew in 2008 that this was going to be the Great Recession.” For more information, including most recent schedules, visit scmtd.com.

allow that, and D’Arcangelew worries it will only let officers tailor their accounts to whatever evidence is, or isn’t, available. “It’s not the best way to get at the truth of what happened,” said D’Arcangelew. “Body cameras offer one truth of what happened. What happened in the officer’s mind is another view.” Wilson argues that they have encouraged their deputies to review evidence while completing reports “for the purpose of being accurate.” About half the agencies with bodyworn cameras allow their officers to view data in preparation of completing reports, he says. Peter Gelblum, chair of the Santa Cruz County ACLU chapter, met with Wilson and Hart about implementing body cameras. “It’s going to add a lot of trust and accountability,” says the Boulder Creek resident who calls the technology an “excellent development.” In late June, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors authorized purchasing the cameras, which come out to $100,000. The sheriff’s department is in price negotiations with VIEVU, a body camera company, after vetting half a dozen suppliers. They currently have a dozen deputies testing the cameras in compliance with California Department of Justice guidelines. Rico Baker, a member of the citizen’s task force and the Veterans for Peace Santa Cruz Chapter, says body cameras are “dicey and complex,” depending on how they’re used, yet he adds that the development will be a positive one if they’re used as promised. “There’s an inherent question,” Baker says, “about the sheriff being someone who takes care of people or someone who just rules over people. Sheriff Hart has shown that he wants to help people and that he doesn’t want to be in that mode of just dealing out punishment.” Santa Cruz County Sheriff officials will present the “Final Report to the Public: 21st Century Policing Task Force” at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 17, in the sheriff’s office community room at 5200 Soquel Drive, Soquel.

‘
ehab is not a spin cycle, where you go in dirty and come out clean,” says director Tess Sweet, eyes unblinking and full of intent behind thick rectangular frames. “What ultimately does work is not what the counselors say to you, it’s your roommates in rehab that are going through the same thing.”
That’s what Sweet hopes to bring to light with Cleaner Daze, the web dramedy she’s currently filming that’s based on real-life stories of addiction from young people in Santa Cruz. Set in a youth rehabilitation center, the show aims to capture the camaraderie, kinship, forgotten innocence and sometimes dark hilarity of rehab: “It’s not a PSA for helping kids get off drugs,
it’s about opening and looking at the phenomenon of addiction,” she says. Sweet, a self-proclaimed “grouphug kind of director,” wants to remove the stigma and get people talking about why young people are driven to drugs and alcohol in the first place. Much like Orange is the New Black did with life in prison and Transparent has done with coming out as transgender, Cleaner Daze is
her way up to the competitive MFA program in production and film directing at UCLA. After moving to Santa Cruz, Sweet sought to help young people who are in the same cycle she was once in, by volunteering at the Y.E.S. School, an adolescent sobriety and recovery program. For her, fostering empathy for those young people with Cleaner Daze is a logical next step. And who better to do that than actors who have real-life experience with addiction? Five cast members from Cleaner Daze’s young ensemble shared with GT their stories of rehab, recovery and the road to redemption.
ABIGAIL RENO, 27
currently on the air put it all into a neat and pretty package, says Sweet, where celebrities battle for a few episodes and by the finale they’re clean. Real-life recovery is more complex than that, she says. She herself started using drugs in high school, realizing in adulthood that she had been self-medicating depression. “I was raped at gunpoint. I had some horrific things happen in
my life to where I didn’t really care what happened,” she says. After one failed attempt at rehab and one successful one, Sweet kicked her addiction to heroin and cocaine when she was 29. She took a computer course at a community college (“My whole twenties were a blur. This is just when email was starting, and I was like, ‘What’s email? Where am I?’”), and worked
20>
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 10-16, 2016
about bringing the experience of recovery out from the shadows. “When I first started going to 12-step meetings, what helped me was the laughter,” says Sweet. “It’s like survivors of a shipwreck—we share a common bond. We all survived something, and let’s laugh about it because you can’t cry about it anymore.” The TV shows about addiction
It’s easy to see why Sweet says that Reno, who plays Jasmine on Cleaner Daze, has got “it”—a presence that lights up a scene and could lead to a real shot at making acting a career. Her penetrating lightgreen eyes under long lashes add a thoughtfulness to the careful way in which she describes how alcohol became her Band-Aid for social anxiety and depression as a teenager. After “enough shitty things happening,” she got clean on her own when she was 21. “It was the most miserable nine months in my life,” she says with a laugh. “I was so angry, hated everything, hated everyone. I was completely unable to function socially, and became really reclusive. One of my friends drove me to an AA meeting, and it wasn’t until I started talking to people in AA and hearing their stories that I made a 180.” Reno’s alcoholism was fed by her surroundings, she says; growing up in Santa Cruz and living with people in their 20s when she was still in her teens, it was considered normal —and so easy—to drink. It’s hard to tell a teenager to not partake in what “everyone is doing,” says Reno. “I think a big part of it is not talking to kids like they’re dumb, like they don’t understand. Being real with them and straightforward and on their level,” says Reno. “Teens these days aren’t sheltered. Treat them like adults, because at that age you want to be an adult.”

OLIVIA OREA, 19 Orea is still chewing a bite of her halfeaten sandwich when she walks into the room, plopping down and putting both hands, ringed fingers splayed, on the table. Lighter and darker chestnut swivels of hair move with her as she laughs—and she laughs freely, even when the topic of conversation is her meth addiction. Orea was 13 or 14 when she started doing heroin with her neighbor in San Clemente. It was a short span of time from life as an honor-roll middle schooler to getting kicked out of four different high schools, getting arrested twice and living in a car, doing drugs. The worst part, says Orea, is that she started meth as a pre-teen to “get skinny.”
“In middle school I started doing Adderall and Vyvanse, because that’s what my friends had. They were like ‘Hey it makes it so you don’t eat.’ A lot of girls who I’ve talked to who started meth just wanted to be skinny—you know how sad that is?” says Orea, picking at her cuticles, laughing a little. “As I got a little more into the drug world, I was like, ‘Oh, ADD meds are like a legal version of meth. What’s meth? That’s cool.’” Her bottom, as it’s called in the recovery world, came when she was babysitting her 2-year-old brother. “I was sitting in my room doing drugs and heard him call my name, and was like ‘Hold on, hold on,’” says Orea. “I was like ‘Wow, I’m a piece of shit. I’m doing drugs in the other room while you’re watching cartoons.’” Orea was one of the few people in the Santa Ana county-subsidized rehab who wanted to get clean. Because of that, she received special responsibilities, her own room,
RECOVERING INNOCENCE computer privileges. Even though that led to instances where other patients would ask her to hold drugs for them—and she did—she didn’t do drugs in rehab. Not that things were all that easy when she got out: her uncle almost immediately offered her meth, but it was still a few months before she relapsed with her “sober buddy” from Narcotics Anonymous. Within a few days she was caught up in transporting drugs from across the border. Orea has been clean since then. She finished high school with multiple honors in veterinary science and presented her research on ocean acidification at the Ocean Institute in San Clemente. “I really want to help the world, and I know that I can because of all that effort that I was putting into doing drugs. If I can apply that to now, if I work hard enough, I can make a difference,” she says. Looking back on how her rehab experience compares to what’s depicted on Cleaner Daze, Orea says she’s thankful to Sweet for reminding people that kids in rehab are still just kids. “Being in there, they want us to be these adults, but we are not only children, we are the most immature children. A lot of us have been in more adult situations than some adults, but there’s an element of innocence that needs to come to light with troubled youth.”
NICK MCCOLLUM, 21
BRANDON MARTIN, 19 For those who do make it through the utter agony of getting sober, though, there’s a huge community of young people waiting on the other side, says Brandon Martin. Martin’s turquoise top knot is visible at the GT office before the rest of him is, peeking out above the rows of cubicle dividers. He’s friendly, cautious, but when he talks about the annual convention for the California Young People of Alcoholics Anonymous, he lights up. “For a weekend, 30,000-plus young people storm into a hotel, wreak havoc and have a bunch of fun and sobriety,” he says. Martin started drinking alcohol and dabbling in weed and opiates during his sophomore year of high school.
Vitamin Center Amy Jespersen, CN
I was raised by parents who had the upmost interest in health and healthy living. My father, Jack Macdonald of the Vitamin Center, kept us current with the health movement. Over the years I rebelled and moved on my own path. My own health started to deteriorate in my mid-twenties and I found myself seeking a holistic approach to my aliments. Western medicine provided me with a number of friendly doctors who could not address my symptoms. After the birth of my fourth child my health was at its worst. I ended up in the ER where a very helpful doctor suggested I had autoimmune thyroid disease. This was a turning point for me as I realized I must advocate for myself and my health. I began doing my own research, reading, and interviewing. I became a patient of some phenomenal practitioners and my health began to return. Working at the Vitamin Center I spoke with many customers whose health was failing. One of the things I noticed was a commonality between a person’s perception of eating healthy, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and failing health. Many people want a quick fix supplement and fail to do the work necessary for good health. So I went to Bauman College to learn more about diet and health with the intent of sharing and teaching people how to make positive changes in their life that would reflect in their health. Jack’s supplement knowledge and my nutrition knowledge make us a great team.

What bursts through the phone when “Nick, the white rapper” answers is that he’s a no-holdsbarred kind of guy, with an almost-cornball charm that makes his resiliency approachable. It’s that attitude that has led the 21-year-old to choose a drug-free lifestyle, despite going to school in Chico. “Chico is a party town. The roommates I lived with for two years in the dorms—I lived with
five roommates—I couldn’t find a passion in them other than partying. They were doing cocaine, drinking, smoking. I would occasionally drink and smoke, but I ended up leaving that house and living in a solo because the partying was too much,” says McCollum. “In all honesty, I haven’t talked to them since, because they were connecting with each other through the drugs and partying. Since I wasn’t a part of that, I didn’t connect with them in that way.” That’s the problem with college towns, says McCollum—bingedrinking is the way of life. McCollum watched a friend at school go from a promising athlete on the pro-lacrosse track to becoming dependent on Xanax and eventually doing heroin in McCollum’s bathroom. “I still go out and have a good time with people,” says McCollum. “But I don’t feel that you need all that stuff to have a good time. I’m an ambitious guy and I always want more from life. I feel like once you start with drugs you’re just chopping days off your life.”

RECOVERING INNOCENCE <21 Raised in a single-parent household steeped in AA and NA philosophy, Martin says that it was precisely their taboo status that made substances so attractive. “I’m one of those people who, if you say ‘Don’t do this,’ I’m going to say ‘Fuck you, watch me,’” he says. Martin started out smoking weed at the train tracks next to his school and quickly ended up homeless. He was arrested for threatening to stab someone and was forcibly sent to Youth Services Tyler House in Watsonville for a four-month program—which he stayed in for eight months. “I threw a table at someone, I snuck a phone in and I snuck drugs in,” he sigh-laughs. “I wasn’t necessarily the best person in rehab.” For Martin, it was the support network after rehab which kept him clean, specifically the Y.E.S. School. “There is just a magic of that school that only someone who has gone there can describe,” he says. “When I first went there I was like ‘Feelings are gross, I don’t want to talk about them.’ But it helps, getting it out there, getting feedback on what you can do.” When he and Reno describe how easy it was to get drugs and alcohol growing up, they’re not exaggerating. In 1997 the Office of National Drug Control Policy designated Santa Cruz County, among others, a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. According to the 2014-2015 California Healthy Kids Survey report, 12 percent of seventh graders had tried alcohol, 9 percent had tried marijuana, and 4 percent had tried inhalants. Among juvenile probationers, 16 percent were involved with methamphetamine; and among juveniles who were facing non-drug charges in court, defense attorneys estimated that methamphetamine was a contributing factor in 24 percent, according to the 2013 Report on Collaboration of Substance Abuse Treatment and Intervention Services. Among children with open Child Welfare Service cases, 49 percent were cases in which
parental methamphetamine use was alleged or confirmed. In other words, the hard part isn’t getting drugs, says Martin, it’s getting clean and staying clean. “Getting sober was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but continuing to stay sober has opened a lot of doors for me. I got my first job, I got my first car, I have been able to graduate high school,” says Martin. “I’ve had friends work their asses off and graduate university, but I’ve also seen friends pass away—one of my friends relapsed on a Monday and was dead by Wednesday. I get to stay sober through it.”
KEMI O’CONNOR, 27 Kemi O’Connor was adopted by a middle-class white family in upstate New York when she was 5 years old. She was the only black child out of nine in the family—and, by her account, the only one in town. “I was a really good kid, got good grades. I actually graduated valedictorian of my school. I was like yearbook club advisor, the star of every sports team I was on. I was student council vice president,” says O’Connor, “But my adoptive parents were just really emotionally and physically abusive. I was the one that always stuck up for my brothers and sisters; they just saw me as a problem that needed to go.” They sent her to the closest city, where she lived in a group home and couldn’t make friends at the new school because there she was “too white.” Only the skaters and the stoners let her in. “I just wanted to be cool, so I smoked weed with them. I didn't even like it back then.” After high school, she joined the Marine Corps. Her unit had a “really big problem with sexual assault,” and after her fiancée, who had broken up with her because of her drinking, was jailed, and O’Connor

on the street,” she says. “It’s hard for them to be compassionate because they don’t see it as an illness, they see it as ‘You’re a problem.’” In many cases, there’s a monied part to recovery as well—most people who stay sober do so because they have a support network on the other end, says O’Connor, which people from lower socioeconomic means are less likely to have. “It makes it 10 times harder when you don’t. I’m a huge advocate for having places to go for therapy, affordable therapy and affordable rehab, because to be honest that was the thing that turned everything around for me,” says O’Connor. “I had fought for years and was denied. I had tried to get sober at 21 and if I had had those things at 21, I honestly think I could’ve stayed sober back then.” Last year, O’Connor finally received medication and therapy from the county. She’s now nine months clean. Her character in Cleaner Daze, Squirt, has a backstory eerily similar—she finally goes to rehab because her girlfriend ODs and dies. At the time of casting callbacks, O’Connor’s thengirlfriend had OD’d and was still in the hospital after she had died and been resuscitated. Playing Squirt has brought up a lot for O’Connor: “I remembered showing up to rehab for my first time and wanting to change— wanting a better life, but not thinking that I was going to be able to do it,” she says. “I just want people to see the humanity of addicts and the struggle. It’s not just the decision of, like, I wake up and ‘l’m going to change now.’”

was dishonorably discharged for being gay (before the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” repeal), her house was burned down by a jealous ex. “It broke my heart so bad. I was just so broken from losing my career, my house, the whole sexual assault thing, losing the person I was in love with and just … I was just broken,” says O’Connor, trailing off. “I spiraled out of control.” Fast forward a few years: O’Connor settled in Santa Cruz, but she couldn’t afford rehab, and the county wouldn’t grant her Medi-Cal. She tried going to AA, even tried going to rehab back in Schenectady, New York, and tried the one free bed from Santa Cruz County. But she couldn’t stay clean (she did “everything” to stay numb, but ecstasy ended up as her drug of choice). The free center had six women to a room, which proved too overwhelming—and her PTSD was so severe that she couldn’t hold a job for longer than 30 days, let alone stay sober. She tried again last year when a close friend died from an overdose, but around the same time she met her birth mother, who has schizophrenia, and her birth father, who was dying. She lasted three months that time. Throughout the whole six years, O’Connor was homeless. “The drugs weren’t my problem, they were my solution to my problem,” says O’Connor. Since they booted her out as a teen, O’Connor’s adoptive parents have cut her off completely, and if any of her adoptive siblings are caught talking to her, they risk the same, emotionally and financially, she says. “They just don’t understand, even though they’re alcoholics themselves. They don’t see themselves as alcoholics because they’re really high-functioning middle class—so they just look down on me like ‘You have a problem and you’re going to ruin the rest of the family,’” says O’Connor. That stigma keeps addicts from seeking help, says O’Connor. “People always imagine an addict or an alcoholic as someone that’s carrying a brown paper bag laying

“There are totally legitimate reasons that some people go to rock concerts and some people go to the opera, some people go to tattoo parlors and some people go to CrossFit.” -NINA SIMON <24 and projects, including several from Santa Cruz County. Simon spoke to GT about the challenge of becoming—and remaining—relevant. I’ve never given the word ‘relevance’ as much thought as I have since reading your book. Tell me about the importance of that word to you. NINA SIMON: I felt exactly the same way you did when I started. I give talks at conferences in the arts, but also libraries and national parks. I started hearing that word come up again and again. I thought it was fascinating that, on the one hand, it’s amazing that these entities want to be more meaningfully engaged with their communities, and, on the other hand, it’s a little bizarre that we were hanging our hats on a term that is pretty ill-defined. The book, while geared toward community builders and leaders of organizations, has insights for people in any field. Who’s your intended audience? I think of it as people who have a mission in mind. The largest group is people who work in nonprofits— not necessarily arts and culture nonprofits, but people who are doing mission-driven work, who have a community service component of what they do. That includes churches and businesses. It’s pretty open in that way. You write about keeping the people you want to serve in mind when dealing with pushback from those who don’t want things to change. How has that vision helped you and your team transform the MAH? It was absolutely necessary. The board that hired me said, “We want this to be a thriving community center, and we want you to execute that vision.” We knew that to do that, we needed more people to value the MAH, and we needed people from different generations,
ethnicities, backgrounds, interests, to find a place for themselves here. Those people were not necessarily already inside the door, so we had to go out to where they were and say, “What do you value, and how can we change what happens here in a way that’s going to make this place more welcoming to you?” Making an organization such as yours relevant to underserved communities can be an even greater challenge. You offer numerous tips on inviting people in, but if you had to distill it down, what would the key takeaway be? First, listen and honestly believe it when people say that your offering is not relevant to them. I think sometimes we theorize that it’s just because we’re just not open at the right time, or it’s the price. But there are totally legitimate reasons that some people go to rock concerts and some people go to the opera, some people go to tattoo parlors and some people go to CrossFit. We are making choices all the time about what’s relevant to us. Once you embrace that reality, the most important thing to do is to say, ‘Here’s the community I’m interested in engaging, let me go be a guest in their community. Let me go to their events, to their spaces, to their businesses’—not with something to offer, not with something to pitch or to sell, but ready to learn what they value, what they’re passionate about, what they’re great at. If an institution can value, and really understand, how people make meaningful connections ... then you can say, I’m going to build on what that person values, I’m going to invite them in for their reasons— not mine—and I’m going to try and form a meaningful connection based on mutual respect for our respective values and expectations. Nina Simon will read from and discuss her new book ‘The Art of Relevance’ at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11 at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.
MUSIC
IS THIS MORE THAN SOME OL’ SUMMER FLING? Rhett Miller of Old 97’s plays solo at the Catalyst Atrium on Aug. 11.
Too Far to Not Care
W
hen people get together to co-write a song in country music, they’re usually aiming to come up with a hit. Singer-songwriter Rhett Miller recently started co-writing, but he takes a different approach. The frontman for pioneering alt-country band Old 97’s, Miller co-writes with friends, without undue concern for the outcome. “The co-writing where you’re put together with strangers and the idea is to write a song with commercial appeal has never worked out that well
for me,” he says. “Any time you’re calculating how you’re going to make a song more saleable, it kills the beauty and the mystery of songwriting.” Miller prefers to keep the process organic. “We get together and we want to make something that we like,” he says. “If it winds up being successful, as far as something that other people might like—and, God forbid, it makes money—then that’s great.” The sentiment is one that fans of Miller won’t be surprised to hear. A favorite of the No Depression and KPIG crowds, Miller has never had great
commercial success as a bandleader or solo artist. He seems to be OK with that, though, explaining that crafting songs to make a record label happy is a quick route to failure. “There’s a sense of desperation that clings to those songs,” he says, “when you’re trying that hard.” For the last 20-plus years, Miller has been crafting songs that speak to him and his collaborators. The result is a catalog of great music and a devoted fan base that appreciates the to-thine-own-self-be-true ethos that runs through his music. When Old 97’s hit the Dallas bar
Rhett Miller will perform at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11 in the Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

Alt-country trailblazer Rhett Miller sticks to sincerity, pop success be damned BY CAT JOHNSON
scene in the early ’90s, the band carved a unique niche for itself as a roots-leaning, country-inspired band of rock ’n’ rollers with a touch of punk rock attitude. At the time, this particular hybrid was brand new. What Miller and company didn’t know was that, along with Uncle Tupelo, Whiskeytown, Wilco, Son Volt and the Drive-by Truckers, they were popularizing what would be dubbed alt-country. Since that time, the band has been a torchbearer for unfiltered Americana that pays tribute to roots traditions, while keeping things raw and fresh enough to pull in new generations of rock fans. When Miller embarked on a solo career in the early 2000s, some Old 97’s fans expressed concern that he was moving away from the band. The opposite proved to be true. Over the years, Old 97’s has released a stream of critically acclaimed records, like 1997’s fan favorite Too Far to Care, and, most recently, 2014’s Most Messed Up. In that time, Miller has released six solo albums, including last year’s The Traveler. For Miller, solo albums are simply a means of sharing the songs the Old 97’s members don’t want. He describes his bandmates as “very opinionated and strong-willed,” and he’s sometimes surprised at the songs they reject. For his upcoming solo tour, Miller plans to perform plenty of Old 97’s material. He also has a few songs picked out especially for Santa Cruz, where two of his ex-girlfriends went to school and, apparently, inspired some tunes. Now a family man with a wife and kids at home in New York’s Hudson Valley, Miller says that his songs still grow out of the same emotions as they did when he started. “There’s almost a straight line I can trace from the first song I wrote at 13 to songs I wrote this year,” he says. “It’s definitely like I’m trying to work through the issues with which I struggle the most, which have always been issues of abandonment, feeling alone and fearful, feeling misunderstood. It’s funny to me how much is always the same song.”

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
DARIUS KOSKI The Swingin’ Utters are one of the biggest punk bands to come out of Santa Cruz, and one thing fans have always loved about them is their eclectic approach. So fans may be surprised that lead singer Darius Koski released a folk-country solo record last year. But what they might not realize is that this kind of music was his first love.
AUGUST 10-16, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“I’ve always written a bunch of country tunes, from day one. I’ve been writing that type of material pretty much ever since I’ve been writing, before my band even,” Koski says. “It’s been a long time coming. I’ve just really procrastinated for so long. I was really happy to get this record out, finally.”
36
The album, Sisu, was released on Fat Wreck Chords. Koski sent the demos to every label he could think of, but Fat Wreck owner Fat Mike was the only one to respond. In fact, even he didn’t like it at first, until Koski reworked some of the songs. The result is a great punky country record from an artist with roots in both genres. Now that Koski has finally released his debut solo album after all these years, he wants to keep going. “At this point I just need to book some studio time and it’ll get me going. I have a lot of ideas and songs all over the place, so it’s really hard to organize them. I really need to purge is how I look at it,” Koski says. AARON CARNES

THURSDAY 8/11 INDIE-ROCK
YOUR FRIEND “No one ever ages quite like they envision.” This is the fitting opening to Your Friend’s mysterious “Gumption,” a song that, like much of the band’s material, weaves and stumbles with eerie melodies and hypnotic rhythms. The video is similarly surreal. Slow-motion shots of sole member Taryn Miller walking through a snowy field, only to find a wrecked car and a body tossed aside—and the body is her. The music is simultaneously minimalistic and somehow washed out and layered all at the same time. It’s slow, dark music that gets under your skin.

young tenor saxophonists of the late 1970s and ’80s, a player with one foot in the avant-garde and one foot in the post-bop continuum. After recording a steady stream of bracing albums under his own name and backing masters such as Jack DeJohnette, McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones, he seemed to drop off the scene, and has been rarely heard in the U.S. for most of the 21st century. Turns out he’s been living and working in Europe, and he’s roaring back into action stateside with a new album, Spoken Into Existence, and a new band featuring pianist Luke Carlos O’Reilly, bassist Kenny Davis, drummer Michael Baker.

Formed in Santa Cruz, Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra has, in a few short years, established its presence on the national roots scene, picking up a nod from NPR, mentions
in international roots publications, and inspiring a directive to “serious roots connoisseurs” from the Portland Tribune that the band should be on the top of their lists. Aside from all that, however, is the music. O’Reilly and the gang play honest, soulful, heart-wrenching music that digs deep into the blues, folk, and shadow places that hide the raw materials for great art.

Born Fitz Cotterell in Clarendon, Jamaica, Prezident Brown’s style is frequently likened to that of Tony Rebel’s. Brown was featured on Steel Pulse’s Rage and Fury album, and has built a large fan base since the mid-’90s. A champion of the new roots and reality consciousness reggae movement, Brown entertains, informs and inspires. His fourth and most popular album, To Jah Only, was intended to serve as a “vessel of healing.” Addis Pablo opens the night, each singer will be backed by a live band.
down the funk and pushing the boundaries of New Orleans music. Hailing from the Crescent City, the band, which leans heavily on collaboration and creative exploration, blends soul, jazz, classic funk, hip-hop, electronica, world music and more to create an ever-evolving sound that challenges easy description. Regardless of which musical direction the band takes things in, you can rest assured that it’s going to be tight, forward-thinking and danceable. Also on the bill is celebrated Bay Area rapper and producer Lyrics Born. CJ
Mark O’Connor has always been tricky to classify. A classically trained violinist, he’s also one of the finest roots fiddlers around, breezing easily through traditional bluegrass, swing, pop, folk, Americana and progressive bluegrass, which is rooted firmly in traditional techniques and styles, but expands from there into uncharted territory. As the Los Angeles Times put it, his music has “crossed so many boundaries that his style is purely personal.” Joining O’Connor are a few of his family members, as well as National Flatpick Guitar Champion Joe Smart.

TELL KIMMEL I’M COMING FOR HIM Matt Damon walks fast and talks on phones in the latest Jason Bourne movie, mysteriously titled ‘Jason Bourne.’
AUGUST 10-16, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
The Brand Identity
42
Matt Damon returns to a franchise that’s lost its way in ‘Jason Bourne’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
B
ereft of humor or sex, the Bourne series gives audiences a choice of brands. If James Bond is Fodor’s, Bourne (Matt Damon) is Lonely Planet. But is it really fair to call this series grittier or more mature than 007? The last Bourne introduced supersoldier pills: “chems,” they were called. This fifth movie based on the adventures of Robert Ludlum’s assassin gives us a morose Damon in front of barely seen cities, identified with captions, such as “London, United Kingdom.” It’s clipped into snippets of graffitied walls, trains, trams, stomped gearshift pedals and
startled crowds. As a former documentarian, director Paul Greengrass is a great believer in the swiftness with which violence occurs. He might agree with Mao’s principle: “The guerrilla must move through the people as a fish swims through the ocean.” Bourne saves himself by hiding in packs of city people. This saves him during the film’s best scene, an attempted hit on CIA turncoat Nicky (Julia Stiles) during the middle of a night riot in Athens. Bourne plucks flaming Molotov cocktails from the hands of demonstrators and escapes, via motorcycle, down staircases. The posters, swiping a vintage
Bond tagline from the Timothy Dalton days, say: “You know his name.” The joke is, Bourne doesn’t seem to know his own name, having given up his identity for this codename. Many would conduct an investigation with stealth, but when Bourne wants to have a quiet chat with a reluctant former spook (Bill Camp), the man is hauled to a roof, after Bourne sets off a fire drill for most of North London. The milling crowds complicate the work for an implacable sniper, a hawk-nosed scowler referred to as “Asset” (Vincent Cassel). Then it’s off to “Silicon Valley, USA.” We’re here to meet Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed) the liquid-eyed
and benign CEO of Deep Dream, some kind of search engine/social network with a billion users. Kalloor’s latest project is to be unveiled at Exocon in “Las Vegas, Nevada.” Unfortunately, the CEO has unfinished business with CIA thug Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), who, in his insane desire to keep things as public as possible, threatens Kalloor into compliance at a crowded restaurant. Jones is a sight these days; eyes sunk into nasty puckered orifices, ears as long as Confucius’ in a Chinese painting. Dewey is continuing the creation of those CIA black-ops programs that sound like Napa wineries: “Treadstone,” “Blackthorn” and the new and most scary, “Ironhand”—wasn’t Ironhand a Get Smart villain? Few movies will cut from the “Greek/Albanian border” to “Reykjavik, Iceland,” and that’s the thrill of espionage movies right there—they give the sense of a globe girdled with spies. The surveillance never stops, with closed-circuit cameras measuring facial metrics worldwide. In such situations, you can always tell the computer operator: “enhance.” Of course, even the enhancement doesn’t always help. “Sir, the Asset has landed,” Dewey is informed. But where has he landed? Germany? London? In the name of speed and percussion, Greengrass chops it up, even zooming to put some urgency into a moment of a person sitting and thinking. Editor and co-writer Christopher Rouse cuts a scene of Bourne getting into a Berlin taxi into three angles. It’s not like we saw this scene and said “Enhance.” The crazily realistic editing makes the finale a cubist fantasy of destruction. Bourne uses a Dodge Charger to mop up the traffic on the Strip, in pursuit of Asset. Sadly, it’s not as beautifully legible as in the trailers. We hear a CIA agent claiming “We’re still trying to put together a narrative to explain what happened.” Good luck with that. JASON BOURNE With Riz Ahmed, Bill Camp, Vincent Cassel, Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Julia Stiles, and Alicia Vikander. Directed by Paul Greengrass. PG-13, 122 min.

AUGUST 10-16, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

PETE’S DRAGON OK first things first: the ranger in this movie is not Jessica Chastain—it’s Bryce Dallas Howard, and, yes, they look identical. Secondly, this is not Tarzan. It’s kind of like Tarzan but apparently a dragon helped the orphan boy survive in the wilderness, and somehow after six years living rogue, he still has the ability to easily converse in English despite having clearly missed the milestones necessary for speech development. Oh, it’s a children’s movie, right. Additionally, Robert Redford and State Sen. R. Clayton 'Clay' Davis from the Wire are here for the party, and we’re very excited. David Lowery (not the guy from Camper Van Beethoven) directs. Oakes Fegley costars. (PG) 102 minutes. SAUSAGE PARTY Not the kind you were just thinking of—but better! From the creators of Pineapple Express and This Is The End, it’s the devastating tale of one group of grocery store purchases finally discovering what they’re really meant for: consumption. Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon direct. Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill co-star. (R) 89 minutes. 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.
NOW PLAYING ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE The stars of the British cult TV hit reunite for a big-screen dose of snark. Maddie Fletcher directs. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks co-star. (R) 90 minutes. BAD MOMS From the writers of The Hangover, it’s the story every frustrated mother has at some time wanted to tell: nobody’s perfect, screw it all and watch it burn. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore directs. Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn, and Kristen Bell co-star. (R) 101 minutes. CAFÉ SOCIETY Woody Allen directs. Steve Carell co-stars. With Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Parker Posey and Blake Lively. (PG13) 96 minutes. 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. GHOSTBUSTERS After what feels like a very long year of advertising for this film, the highly anticipated and even more highly criticized allfemale reboot of the franchise is finally available to be ripped apart by every Ghostbusters fan, ever (RIP Harold Ramis). Any film with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon can’t be too bad, right? Right? We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Paul Feig directs. (PG-13) 116 minutes. GLEASON Steve Gleason was 34 when he was diagnosed with ALS. A former NFL defensive back and New Orleans hero, he didn’t let the fatal disease stand in his way, and instead created a video blog with all the advice and musings on life he could come up with to one day guide his newly born son. This documentary follows the football legend and his family through life, love and loss, from the moment he

was first diagnosed through the stages of physical degradation, his wife’s pregnancy and son’s birth. Clay Tweel directs. Steve Gleason, Mike Gleason, and Scott Fujita costar. (R) 110 minutes. HUNT FOR THE WILDER PEOPLE Ricky was raised on hip-hop and foster care and is adorably defiant. He’s pure hip-hop, or at least that’s how he sees himself, so when he decides to run away into the New Zealand brush, he’s all gangsta kangaroo and stuff. Thankfully, his adoptive uncle (the ever-stoic Sam Neill) finds him and decides to join in on giving society a big middle finger and run away for good. From the director of What We Do in the Shadows and Boy, Taika Waititi. Julian Dennison and Rima Te Wiata co-star. (PG-13) 101 minutes. ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE Considering it’s been fourteen years since the first one came out, it might be time for the Ice Age franchise to come to an end. How exactly do you fight off a meteor anyway? Galen T. Chu and Mike Thurmeier direct. Stephanie Beatriz, Robert Cardone, Neil deGrasse Tyson co-star. (PG) 94 minutes. JASON BOURNE Reviewed this issue. Paul Greengrass directs. Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, and Alicia Vikander co-star. (PG-13) 123 minutes.

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. NINE LIVES In case you were wondering why Kevin Spacey was teaching a master class on acting, watch him become a cat. That’s how good he is. Barry Sonnenfeld directs. Jennifer Garner and Robbie Amell co-star. (PG) 87 minutes. OUR LITTLE SISTER Three sisters living in their grandmother’s house in Japan process the death of their father, and with it, the surprise news of a fourth sister. Based on the Japanese josei manga Umimachi Diary by Akimi Yoshida, it’s a story not only about the human condition but also about how to overcome the sins of our fathers. Hirokazu Koreeda directs. Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, and Kaho costar. (PG) 128 minutes. Japanese with English subtitles. LIGHTS OUT This horror movie about creepies who only appear in darkness (and are scared off by the light) is winning over fans, but from the trailer it’s clear—and kind of funny—how much the filmmakers have to cheat on the idea of the monsters only coming out in “darkness.” Because, you know, if they were true to their premise, there wouldn’t be a whole lot to look at. David F. Sandberg directs. Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, and Maria Bello co-star. (PG-13) 81 minutes.
NERVE While at first glance this could look like just a bunch of pretty young people running around a city, at second look, Nerve might be more of a dark, twisted, antics-of-youth-fueled Hunger Games-type thriller. It’s also from the directors of Paranormal Activity 3, so you know something weird is going to go down. Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman direct. Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, Emily Meade co-star. (PG13) 96 minutes. 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. STAR TREK: BEYOND Eyebrows. Space. That guy from Harold and Kumar. Explosions. More eyebrows. Space explosions! Justin Lin directs. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes. SUICIDE SQUAD Bad people do some good in a long-awaited superhero film with a cast that’ll tickle any dedicated comicantihero fan’s fancy.

Monterey Bay chefs shine at Homeless Garden Project’s Sustain Supper BY CHRISTINA WATERS
A
lways a sweet and memorable event, the Homeless Garden Project’s Sustain Supper last week blew away expectations. Food cooked outdoors—the smell of the oak-fired oven was heavenly—and enjoyed at long tables filled with friends, supporters, eco-politicians (John Laird, Jimmy Panetta, Dept. of California Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross), few events of the summer do more to capture all that’s best about our region. It was fun to see old friends, including former mayor Katherine Beiers
(along with her daughter and sonin-law visiting from Portland), and HGP board member Mark Lipson (Molino Creek Farm founder). I was also there to savor the Project’s atmospheric gardens, Burrell School wines (the 2007 Chardonnay showed beautifully), and multiple courses made by Monterey Bay area chefs, who, along with a team of serving professionals, all donated their time and skill to this splendid meal. Wine and passed appetizers made by Gema Cruz, chef at Gabriella Cafe, started us off. I especially loved her soft focaccia squares topped
with slabs of mozzarella, Early Girl tomatoes and a slick of basil pesto. I ate two of them as I joined the tour given by HGP’s executive director Darrie Ganzhorn. Almost everybody checked out the site-constructed oven where Brad Briske (La Balena) and his team tended oak logs. The coals then roasted dozens and dozens of whole snapper that had been brined with garlic, rosemary and jalapeños and stuffed with yet more herbs. The aroma was incredible, and the process—cooking the ancient way—was mesmerizing. At our table, Beiers regaled me with
tales of completing her 10th Boston marathon this year, as she dug into the arugula salad made by Earthbound Farm’s Sarah LaCasse. The salad seemed to glow in the slanting sunlight. Spiraling strands of fried zucchini and pickled cucumbers added summery flavors to the greens, dreamy with a cilantro-mint vinaigrette. Next came a salad of roasted summer vegetables and orzo loaded with Peruvian mayocoba beans and fennel. Briske’s fantastic side dish set up our palates for platters of crisp whole snapper that soon arrived. Who knew that world hiker/realtor Woutje Swets could apply such remarkable dexterity when it came to removing the head and spine of the plump snapper? We ate, drank, watched the fog keep its distance, and heard inspiring remarks about California agriculture and the increasing success of the HGP program itself. Just when the three-hour event couldn’t get any better, out came the brilliant dessert made by Yulanda Santos. The Aubergine chef had made an intense panna cotta-type cream spiked with chamomile and topped with roasted strawberries, flashfried licorice mint and a dusting of pistachios. I can barely remember anything tasting this good. It was a dazzling performance by the quartet of chefs and their supporting crews. There is arguably no better way to watch a summer afternoon turn to evening than sitting in this garden, where the fog—right on cue—finally arrived at the same time as the coffee! Hearing the eloquent closing remarks by the successful HGP trainee Kathleen Groves made me realize that this annual event belongs on everyone’s calendar. You can support this growing project in so many ways, but the summer Sustain Supper has got to be the most delicious. homelessgardenproject.org.

ritish immigrant Simon Ghorbani and wife Alison Blackwell bring British curry—which is quite distinct from the traditional Indian dish—to Santa Cruz with their pop-up restaurant Keep Calm And Curry On. They held their first event in April, and their next one will be at Pacific Avenue’s Pop Up on Aug. 18. They even make naan from scratch. Ghorbani tells us about his cooking style and his plans to expand the menu.

What is British-style curry? The defining characteristic is a high caramelization, because it’s cooked at such high heat. The meals are cooked quickly, so they’re sweeter and thicker than Indian curries. Indian curries tend to be lighter and subtle, whereas British curry tends to be a bit of a kick in the face.

There’s the myth of the tikka masala where a guy in an Indian restaurant in Glasgow was served chicken tikka— which is grilled pieces of chicken— and he said, “I want some gravy with this.” The myth is that the chef took some canned tomato soup, put some cream and spices in it and served that
as a gravy and tikka masala was born. I don’t think that’s true. But the idea is that Bengali immigrants came over. They weren’t Indian at all, and they were making curries, but they had to do a short order. Curry needs to be cooked for a long time, so what they would do is make a stock. Then they fried up the dry ingredients at a very high heat and built the curry with this already-made stock.
Does your menu change? We are trying to explore. I don’t want to be tied specifically to British curry. There’s a much wider world of spices out there. I’m half Iranian—I’d eventually like to do different kinds of spices, which is lacking a little in Santa Cruz. I want to run the whole gamut from Middle Eastern to North African to Southeast Asian. So far we’ve done two dishes, which are chicken tikka madras and a pork vindaloo. The famous one is chicken tikka masala. But actually madras is the standard curry in British curry houses. It’s not creamy. It’s tangy and sharp. Personally, I think chicken tikka masala is a very boring curry, which is why I chose to go with madras. keepcalmandcurryonsantacruz.com.

Birichino Wines
A crisp, dry 2015 Vin Gris, made from red Mourvedre grapes BY JOSIE COWDEN
W
hen it comes to “blush” or “pink” wines, the 2015 Vin Gris from Birichino Wines is a shining star in a sea of often-mundane Rosés. It’s also an excellent deal—purchased at Deluxe Market in Aptos for $15. The talented duo of John Locke and his partner Alex Krause are responsible for turning out this beautiful wine made from the red Mourvedre grape. “Provencal dreams led us to graft legitimately imported Mourvedre from Beaucastel (in France) onto promising blocks within the 105-year-old Besson Grenache vineyard,” the winemakers say of the road to produce this Vin Gris. “As those grafts have matured, we’ve increased the proportion of this noble red variety in our pink.” They say they “happily reconnected” with the Del Barba family in Contra Costa County, who have owned and farmed exceptional Mourvedre in the deep, almost pure sand soils for more than a century. The crisp, dry Vin Gris, made with sustainably farmed grapes, has lovely scents of watermelon and
raspberries, with refreshing berry, spice and white peach flavors. Pair it with shellfish, antipasto, sushi, Caesar salad, and tuna. Birichino (pronounced biri-kino) is a small-production winery and doesn’t have a tasting room, so your best bet is to head to Soif, where Locke is the wine director, and taste his wines there. Soif Wine Bar & Restaurant, 105 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz, 423-2020. soifwine.com and birichino.com.
A HEARTWARMING STORY
Recently, a customer’s credit card accidentally dropped out of the check presenter at Paradise Beach Grille and into the ocean. One of the restaurant’s servers, Christina Raciti, immediately ran outside the restaurant and jumped into the lagoon to retrieve it. Seeing a shiny “something” in the water, she took a chance and dived down to get it. Luckily, it was the lost card. Drying herself off as best she could, she then handed the credit card back to the owner. “She’s a very caring person,” says co-owner Leslie Wetsel, and I would agree.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES URANUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Aug. 10, 2016
On July 29, Uranus (planet of revolutions, revelations, interruptions, waking us up to all things new) turned retrograde at 24 degrees Aries—right in the middle of presidential campaigns here in the United States. Uranus will be retrograde through December. That means Uranus will be retro during the November elections. Uranus is the awakener. Awakening us like a jolt from beliefs and safety nets (being asleep to the true issues of our world). Uranus is unconventional and does not stand by any traditions. Uranus in Aries is a double quiver of unexpected and radical change. Uranus is the Tsunami that hit Japan
ARIES Mar21–Apr20 Money and finances, resources and values. What do these words mean to you, Aries? Consider these in terms of your ethics, honesty and sense of safety. Also, consider tithing. When we give we are given more and more. So we can give again. Assess and be practical with your many resources. And have gratitude for all that you have. This blesses your daily life. And you realize that you are of great value.
TAURUS Apr21–May21 Self-identity shifts, changes, bursts forth. Whatever our biography, we realize this is simply a foundation. New worlds, new endeavors, new ideas of self appear in what seems like chaos. But it isn’t chaos. It’s restructuring what you think you are, into someone who really is. Sometimes a shift into new self-awareness feels scary. But you’re brave, courageous, fearless and daring.
GEMINI May 22–June 20
releasing uranium into the Pacific waters. Uranus is electrical energy, a lightning strike that creates forest fires of the mind. Uranus is fireworks, unpredictable and beautiful. With Uranus retro we feel restless for change, discontent at the status quo. Uranus shifts our perspective into the future and dismantles all of the pieces, rearranging them to fit present and future needs. We are interrupted and disrupted at first, there is chaos and bewilderment. We will remember in the coming months the words of Uranus, “I have come to interrupt and revolutionize you.”
Health, order, organization, details. Everyday life assumes a sense of immediacy. There’s a shocking recognition that wherever one finds oneself is where one is most needed. Tend with care to all areas of health, from top to bottom, inner and outer. If seeing a doctor, choose only a certified Functional doctor. Protect your head in all ways, always. Do nothing reckless. Martial arts, tai chi, yoga, swimming—all strengthen the body. Consider one or more.

Hard work, accomplishments, challenges and adjustments. Home undergoes constant change. Sometimes rapidly. Unexpected people, relatives, friends, maybe even workers come to the house. Or perhaps it’s a meeting of minds. Maintain a careful eye on family members. Things occur unexpectedly with Uranus. Family patterns, rules, tasks may need reviewing. Are you doing Family meetings yet? You may remember your childhood. Write stories about it.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18
Love of knowledge, travel, justice, journeys, teaching. You feel restless for a new adventure, far and distant travels, new people. You’re like a journalist seeking new stories, a professor calling students to your study. You need information informing you of the world. A new project appears, expanding your mind and heart, balancing what you already know. You become an archer, arrows aimed at lands and people far away. New goals appear.
Right thinking, communication, education, siblings, and walking the neighborhoods getting to know the community. You have flashes of insight. When shared others learn unexpected and new things. Careful driving. Be a defensive driver. Do not drive when angry. If sitting awhile in traffic, look around. There’s something unexpected to be seen. Bikes (electrical) and biking become important and in the news. Your neighborhood is changing. Your present life experiences are preparing you for future tasks that assist humanity.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Present yourself to the world with grace and beauty. Uranus brings you flashes of intuition, revelatory dreams, guidance and direction. Record dreams and impressions. Dreams help explain your life, its trials, losses, suffering and difficulties. You will learn and come to understanding about the past which was always preparing and strengthening you for future leadership. Notice you’re becoming specific about values—what you need and don’t need, want and don’t want. A new self-identity unfolds.

These unanticipated thoughts, one or more, are on your mind. They just appeared one day and stayed. You see life opening. Up. It’s like the blue sky appearing as you climb the ladder. You’re ready to make big changes. You’ve been dreaming about them.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
Remain young at heart with new ideas, technology and music. You just need to have fun from now through December. You need music everywhere, even to the point of learning a new instrument. Create new (free) play lists, join an arts co-op, sing in a choir, go to museums, study botanicals, go on art walks, attend theater, plays, dances and musicals. Go to college, the library, learn pottery, and join a group discussion. New gifts and abilities attempt to make themselves known. Chant (kirtan) with Krisha Das.
Unexpected events with money, sex, shared resources. You could feel off balance for a while. Your sense of pleasure and what pleases you may be interrupted. A focus on practical handling of money, investments, savings and safety are considered. All personal and intimate interactions may have a sense of experimentation about them. Divine Will seeks your cooperation. You seek the Right Use of Will. Well-being is the consequence.
food & ambiance
You will need to remain grounded in committed relationships/partnerships, taking time to go even deeper, to anchor the love and friendship already established. Dancing together is suggested. If uncommitted, this will be a time of changing partners. Or, one could think relationships are silly and impractical. Things happen in relationships that jolt us to awareness. Jolts are good!
Religion, beliefs, limitations, messages from the cosmos. Uranus brings you to consider new groups and being with lots of people. For Gemini seekers, Uranus creates a desire/aspiration for community. Like-minded people recognizing your talents and capabilities. Something you only imagined happens. Your interactions with others expands everyone around you. You see humanity’s needs. You seek to serve and then to save.

CHRISTA MERCADO, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
Occupation: Admin assistant, UCSC Hobbies: Family hikes, bike riding, crocheting, reading, cooking, volunteering Astrological Sign: Pisces
DEVA MERCADO, 25-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
Occupation: Network administrator, NHS Hobbies: Fishing, disk golf, playing with kids, huge SF Giants fan, cooking/barbecuing Astrological Sign: Aries What do you like to cook? DEVA: “I really enjoy using my smoker for ribs, pork shoulder, and more. We also do Mexican and Italian food, and I like to bake.” CHRISTA: “I love making heart-warming comfort food such as stews, soups, jambalaya, and casseroles. We're big fans of the meat department. I love how everything is so fresh and that I can choose the cut that I want. The butchers are knowledgable and will slice things to order, like very thin for Philly cheesesteaks.” DEVA: “It’s great talking Giants baseball with some of the guys. They're just really friendly, and I appreciate the banter.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is a vital part of the community.”
How so? DEVA: “It's a neighborhood hub where people come together and shop. Our kids, Ayden and Aubrey, like coming here because of the good food and very friendly staff.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is not just for families. I know quite a few chefs and personal chefs because of all the cooking we do, and this is the only market where they'll shop.” DEVA: “Everything is better at Shopper's.” CHRISTA: “I like that the produce is always fresh and I can go conventional or organic. Shopper's brings in some of the more gourmet herbs and spices.” DEVA: “They carry great local products such as Roberto's salsas, Santa Cruz Roasting coffees, Polar Bear ice cream, and Donnelley's chocolates, to name a few.”
Do you get good value for money spent here? DEVA: “Shopper’s is competitively priced when compared to the big box stores, and the quality of everything is so much better. If you’re looking for specialty products, you won’t find them cheaper… ” CHRISTA: “People who think Shopper’s is expensive don’t shop here, so I set them straight. It’s not just a gourmet or high-end store. Shopper’s has options for every department and every product.” DEVA: “It really is one-stop shopping.” CHRISTA: “I like that I know where everything is, but it’s also a fun a experience discovering new things I haven’t yet tried. I run into people I know every time I shop here. Shopper’s feel like home.”
