EDITOR’S NOTE Nobody said democracy is easy. It gets particularly hard about now, when we’re all about to go out and do our part to participate in this glorious democratic system, and we’re expected to actually understand the things we’re voting on. Hey, Founding Fathers, isn’t that kind of a lot to ask, with all of us working and raising families? And my guess is you definitely didn’t see Netflix coming, guys. Sure, an informed citizenship is the bedrock of our representative system, but that last episode of Stranger Things

WHEN FUN IS OUTLAWED

Great to read about efforts to make up for the North Coast’s lack of facilities and personnel to handle large numbers of folks exercising their rights to coastal access (GT, 10/12). Santa Cruz City beaches do have the facilities and the personnel to handle large numbers of folks, but since many of the traditional beach-going activities are illegal here, folks are forced into more sensitive remote environments if they want to drink alcohol, smoke, have bonfires, play with their dogs or fireworks or stay up past 10 p.m. Or sleep under the stars. When fun is outlawed, only outlaws will have fun. Outlaws, and law enforcement, who would much rather cite people trying to have a good time than deal with people who pose a threat to others.

NEED BETTER PLAN In a hotly debated attempt to solve the transportation needs of Santa Cruz County, the RTC is proposing to raise $500 million with a 30-year sales tax increase. $100 million of this would be used to build six useless auxiliary lanes on Highway 1 between Soquel Avenue and State Park Drive. I hope voters understand that these auxiliary lanes simply add more asphalt between

Here at GT, we know how hard it is to find time to figure out even a high-profile ballot issue like Measure D or the Santa Cruz City Council race, let alone who’s running for a seat on your local water board or school district. That’s why we’ve put together an exhaustive (as in, we are exhausted) guide to the Santa Cruz County ballot issues and races. Due to its sheer scope, we’ll be running it over the next couple of weeks. First up this week is the biggest part of it: a guide to the candidates running in Santa Cruz County and state elections that affect our area. Look for local measures next week, and vote Nov. 8!

existing on and off ramps. They are not through lanes! They will not decrease congestion. The RTC’s own website states that “Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration do not consider auxiliary lanes capacity increasing.” (Unfortunately, you will have to dig deep into RTC’s website to find this information.) The one auxiliary lane that has already been built between Morrissey and Soquel is considered a nightmare by regular users. During peak traffic hours, drivers misuse this longer exit lane to cut ahead and then re-enter the through lanes, blocking drivers who are trying to exit. It makes driving less safe, not more. Please vote NO on Measure D. The RTC can bring us a better plan in two years if there is the political will.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: RVS Sadly, the issue of homelessness is one that plagues many California communities. But I believe that other cities have found a way forward and it’s very simple: pay for cheap housing for the homeless. When other cities did the math on how much money they spent on policing the homeless, cleaning up after them, responding to police calls,

The stigma of marijuana would definitely be decreased, and it would be a more comfortable environment.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 19 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

In the 1980s, two performance artists did a project entitled A Year Tied Together at the Waist. For 12 months, Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh were never farther than eight feet away from each other, bound by a rope. Hsieh said he tried this experiment because he felt very comfortable doing solo work, but wanted to upgrade his abilities as a collaborator. Montano testified that the piece “dislodged a deep hiddenness” in her. It sharpened her intuition and gave her a “heightened passion for living and relating.” If you were ever going to engage in a comparable effort to deepen your intimacy skills, Aries, the coming weeks would be a favorable time to attempt it.

In the course of her long career, Libran actress Helen Hayes won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony. Years before all that glory poured down on her, she met playwright Charles MacArthur at a party in a posh Manhattan salon. Hayes was sitting shyly in a dark corner. MacArthur glided over to her and slipped a few salted peanuts into her hand. “I wish they were emeralds,” he told her. It was love at first sight. A few years after they got married, MacArthur bought Hayes an emerald necklace. I foresee a metaphorically comparable event in your near future, Libra: peanuts serving as a promise of emeralds.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

In the coming weeks would you prefer that we refer to you as “voracious”? Or do you like the word “ravenous” better? I have a feeling, based on the astrological omens, that you will be extra super eager to consume vast quantities of just about everything: food, information, beauty, sensory stimulation, novelty, pleasure, and who knows what else. But please keep this in mind: Your hunger could be a torment or it could be a gift. Which way it goes may depend on your determination to actually enjoy what you devour. In other words, don’t get so enchanted by the hypnotic power of your longing that you neglect to exult in the gratification when your longing is satisfied.

Welcome to the Painkiller Phase of your cycle. It’s time to relieve your twinges, dissolve your troubles, and banish your torments. You can’t sweep away the whole mess in one quick heroic purge, of course. But I bet you can pare it down by at least 33 percent. (More is quite possible.) To get started, make the following declaration five times a day for the next three days: “I am grateful for all the fascinating revelations and indispensable lessons that my pain has taught me.” On each of the three days after that, affirm this truth five times: “I have learned all I can from my pain, and therefore no longer need its reminders. Goodbye, pain.” On the three days after that, say these words, even if you can’t bring yourself to mean them with complete sincerity: “I forgive everybody of everything.”

GEMINI May21–June20 When the wind blows at ten miles per hour, a windmill generates eight times more power than when the breeze is five miles per hour. Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect there will be a similar principle at work in your life during the coming weeks. A modest increase in effort and intensity will make a huge difference in the results you produce. Are you willing to push yourself a bit beyond your comfort level in order to harvest a wave of abundance?

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Cuthbert Collingwood (1748-1810) had a distinguished career as an admiral in the British navy, leading the sailors under his command to numerous wartime victories. He was also a good-natured softie whose men regarded him as generous and kind. Between battles, while enjoying his downtime, he hiked through the English countryside carrying acorns, which he planted here and there so the “Navy would never want for oaks to build the fighting ships upon which the country’s safety depended.” (Quoted in Life in Nelson’s Navy, by Dudley Pope.) I propose that we make him your role model for the coming weeks. May his example inspire you to be both an effective warrior and a tender soul who takes practical actions to plan for the future.

Eighteenth-century musician Giuseppe Tartini has been called “the godfather of modern violin playing.” He was also an innovative composer who specialized in poignant and poetic melodies. One of his most famous works is the Sonata in G Minor, also known as the Devil’s Trill. Tartini said it was inspired by a dream in which he made a pact with the Devil to provide him with new material. The Infernal One picked up a violin and played the amazing piece that Tartini transcribed when he woke up. Here’s the lesson for you: He didn’t actually sell his soul to the Devil. Simply engaging in this rebellious, taboo act in the realm of fantasy had the alchemical effect of unleashing a burst of creative energy. Try it!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The planets have aligned in a curious pattern. I interpret it as meaning that you have cosmic permission to indulge in more self-interest and self-seeking than usual. So it won’t be taboo for you to unabashedly say, “What exactly is in it for me?” or “Prove your love, my dear” or “Gimmeee gimmeee gimmee what I want.” If someone makes a big promise, you shouldn’t be shy about saying, “Will you put that in writing?” If you get a sudden urge to snag the biggest piece of the pie, obey that urge.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 For the foreseeable future, you possess the following powers: to make sensible that which has been unintelligible . . . to find amusement in situations that had been tedious . . . to create fertile meaning where before there had been sterile chaos. Congratulations, Sagittarius! You are a first-class transformer. But that’s not all. I suspect you will also have the ability to distract people from concerns that aren’t important . . . to deepen any quest that has been too superficial or careless to succeed . . . and to ask the good questions that will render the bad questions irrelevant.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 In the past eleven months, did you ever withhold your love on purpose? Have there been times when you “punished” those you cared about by acting cold and aloof? Can you remember a few occasions when you could have been more generous or compassionate, but chose not to be? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the next three weeks will be an excellent time to atone. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you can reap maximum benefit from correcting stingy mistakes. I suggest that you make gleeful efforts to express your most charitable impulses. Be a tower of bountiful power.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1415, a smaller English army defeated French forces at the Battle of Agincourt in northern France. Essential to England’s victory were its 7,000 longbowmen—archers who shot big arrows using bows that were six feet long. So fast and skilled were these warriors that they typically had three arrows flying through the air at any one time. That’s the kind of high-powered proficiency I recommend that you summon during your upcoming campaign. If you need more training to reach that level of effectiveness, get it immediately.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Let’s imagine your life as a novel. The most recent chapter, which you’ll soon be drawing to a close, might be called “The Redemption of Loneliness.” Other apt titles: “Intimacy with the Holy Darkness” or “The Superpower of Surrender” or “The End Is Secretly the Beginning.” Soon you will start a new chapter, which I’ve tentatively dubbed “Escape from Escapism,” or perhaps “Liberation from False Concepts of Freedom” or “Where the Wild Things Are.” And the expansive adventures of this next phase will have been made possible by the sweet-andsour enigmas of the past four weeks.

OPINION

and paying their ER bills, they realized it was much cheaper to simply give these people permanent housing. Santa Cruz can certainly do the same. In fact, lots of organizations are willing to step up and donate tiny homes for this effort if the city can find a city lot to accommodate this. But by no means are tiny homes an only option, it’s just one I’m throwing out there. For the RVs, why not allow a private company to offer RV services like trash take out and latrine clean-up? If we can find a place where a company like that could locate, I’m

sure a lot of RV dwellers would take advantage. If it were a public-private partnership, Santa Cruz might even see some of that money and use it toward homelessness. These problems can be fixed. But the problem in California is that any time someone proposes housing for the homeless, the neighbors immediately oppose it. But I would much prefer to live next to a tiny home community than a homeless encampment. It’s just safer (and more sanitary) for everyone. — KATE

NEWS RENT TO MOAN UCSC professors share illuminating research on Santa Cruz’s housing crisis BY KARA GUZMAN

Maritza Ortiz is no stranger to the burden of rent in a crowded home. After work at her nonprofit job, Ortiz, a recent college graduate, comes home to a three-bedroom Watsonville apartment, where she lives with her parents, two sisters and two brothers. One of her brothers has a bed in the living room. She makes $15 per hour at her part-time job, and contributes $200 in rent. Her parents receive Section 8 vouchers, and pay $1,800 in rent, says Ortiz, one of more than 300 people who attended an affordable housing talk at Santa Cruz’s Museum of Art & History on Thursday night, Oct. 13. Associate UCSC professor Steve McKay, who headlined the event, was with sociology professor Miriam Greenberg, revealed the results of a Santa Cruz renter survey on the effects of the housing crisis. For an hour, Ortiz heard accounts from the 400 people surveyed in the Beach Flats, Lower Pacific and Lower Ocean neighborhoods, about the difficult choices and long work hours required to survive in one of the country’s five least affordable cities for renters. “I just heard these stories, and now I know I’m not alone,” says Ortiz. “We do see it as a norm, but we shouldn’t have to live like that. We should have our privacy.”

Waits and Measures Voters will decide on an initiative to reform the death penalty and another to end it BY LINDSEY J. SMITH

oments before Richard Allen Davis was sentenced to death in a San Jose courtroom for the kidnapping and murder of Polly Klaas, the young girl’s father addressed the court. “He broke the contract; for that he must die,” Marc Klaas said on Aug. 5, 1996. “Mr. Davis, when you get to where you’re going, say hello to Hitler, say hello to Dahmer, and say hello to Bundy. Good riddance, and the sooner you get there, the better we all are.” Davis entered the Klaas family’s life on Oct. 1, 1993, when he broke into Polly Klaas’ mother’s home in Petaluma and kidnapped the 12-year-

old. The ensuing two-month search engrossed the nation, and ended when Davis led investigators to the young girl’s body. But for Klaas, the torture was far from over, as the case evolved into an emotional three-year trial. Klaas has looked forward to the killer’s execution as the lifting of a burden. But at sentencing, he never imagined that 20 years later he’d still be awaiting that day. Since 1996, Davis—who sits on death row in San Quentin State Prison, a scant 10 miles from Klaas’ Sausalito home—has had just one appeal heard. His situation is not necessarily unique; the majority of the state’s 747 condemned have been on death row for between 16 and

24 years, with one awaiting execution for 38 years. Klaas spends his days running the KlaasKids Foundation, one of several nonprofits started in Polly’s memory. But after receiving a call from the California District Attorneys Association, he’s turned his attention to endorsing Proposition 66, a proposal to reform the death penalty headed for the November ballot. “It was never my intention to be an outspoken advocate of the death penalty,” Klass says, “but apparently it just sort of played out that way.” Come election day, Proposition 66 will be up against another death-penalty initiative, >12

UCSC students administered Greenberg and McKay’s 150-question survey in bilingual teams, knocking on every door in those mostly Latino neighborhoods. Topics included the percentage of income devoted to rent, the number of people per bedroom, forced evictions and issues with safety and building conditions. McKay listed some troubling statistics about the area: In 2014, the Santa Cruz area was named the least affordable metropolitan area in the U.S. Factoring in the cost of housing, Santa Cruz’s poverty line for renters is $34,000. That means more than one in five Santa Cruz residents are living in poverty, McKay says. The housing crisis is bad for homeowners, but it’s worse for renters, who make up 57 percent of Santa Cruz residents and who make an average of $13 per hour. The fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,600, he says. “By that standard, in order to be affordable, the average renter in Santa Cruz has to >14

Things That Scare Us By Datta Khalsa, Broker Our little corner of the world has a well-deserved reputation for attracting a broad array of colorful characters, and it is generally acknowledged that Halloween represents the unofficial national holiday for the People’s Republic of Santa Cruz. More than anywhere else (outside of the Playa at Burning Man, perhaps), people here generally express their freedom to dress any way they like, so much so that you often can’t tell on Halloween night who’s wearing a costume and who simply showed up wearing what they normally wear on a holiday that celebrates many of the things that define Santa Cruz. At its heart, Halloween celebrates diversity and freedom of expression, and the uniqueness of every individual. And alongside Dia de los Muertos, it also celebrates an attitude of laughing in the face of the things that scare us, which could certainly be seen as a Santa Cruz tradition as well. So what are a few of these things that scare us? At the worldwide level, the struggle for peace and economic stability for all nations continues, against the greater backdrop of overpopulation and global warming.

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

At the national level this season we have witnessed arguably the most vicious presidential race ever, revealing amongst other things an undercurrent of ignorance and hatred in our country that at least we in the People’s Republic had generally thought was behind us.

And here at home, the issues that scare many of us the most are the spiraling cost of living, led by housing prices and rents that have continued to climb at an alarming rate to the point that several of the local candidates are running on a platform advocating rent control and low-income housing. It is hotly debated by both sides whether or not these kinds of measures are effective in the long run and both renters and property owners alike fear an outcome that they feel is opposite their interests. But when you consider the related issues of homelessness and the greater good and safety of everyone, nobody disagrees with the importance of finding a solution. In the end, election cycles come and go, and life will go on either way. And in the meantime, during this holiday we can at least celebrate our diversity in the face of all of the adversity and do our best to make a positive difference for those whose lives we touch.

Proposition 62. Each initiative addresses California’s broken death-penalty system, which leaves the condemned to languish for decades. But the two plans present diametrically opposed solutions. Simply called the California Death Penalty Repeal, Proposition 62 would replace the death penalty with life in prison without parole. The legislation sprung from the seeds of 2012’s Proposition 34, which would have abolished the death penalty had it not lost by a narrow margin. “What the polling shows is that there’s a big difference in the way voters react to the question ‘Do you want to end the death penalty, period?’ to ‘Do you think we should replace the death penalty with life without the possibility of parole?’” says Paula Mitchell, an author of Proposition 62 and professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. She and others behind the campaign found that voters are much more comfortable with the idea of substituting a life sentence rather than abolishing the death penalty altogether. The legislation would also force death-row inmates to work in prison and pay restitutions to their victims’ families, a facet it shares with Proposition 66. District attorneys and elected officials, including Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former president Jimmy Carter, have endorsed

Proposition 62. It has also drawn an eclectic list of celebrity endorsers, including former CIA operative Valerie Plame, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta and entrepreneurs Richard Branson and Larry Flynt. The death-penalty-repeal campaign is driven by a belief that the state’s system is fundamentally broken. Since 1978, when capital punishment was reinstated by voters after a brief abolition, California has spent more than $5 billion to run the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere. In that time, 930 people have been sentenced to death, but only 15 have actually been executed, according to the state Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO). No executions have been carried out in California in the last decade because of challenges to the state’s lethal-injection protocol. For Mitchell, one of the most compelling reasons to abolish the death penalty is the risk of executing an innocent person. Since 1973, she notes, 144 people on death row have been exonerated nationwide. “A lot of people around the world are coming to the same conclusion,” she says. “It’s a risky thing, it costs a lot of money; it’s just not worth it.” On the other hand, Proposition 66, known as the Death Penalty Reform and Savings Act of 2016, contends that the death penalty is not beyond repair, and that it is our duty to fix it. “This arose out of a will to represent the obvious desires of the

majority of the citizens of the state of California,” says Michele Hanisee, a key opponent of 2012’s Proposition 34. “They voted not to eliminate the death penalty, which means they want the death penalty and they want it to work. It’s unfair to those citizens that it’s not working.” Proposition 66, which is backed by a long roster of district attorneys, sheriffs and law enforcement, attempts to reform capital punishment on several levels. Appeals to the state supreme court based on the trial record would need to be completed in five years. Furthermore, all appeals based on evidence or issues outside the record, known as habeas corpus appeals, would need to be presented in one case; currently the condemned can submit as many habeas corpus appeals as they can muster. The proposition would assign inmates counsel on the day of their sentencing, and would allow the state supreme court to force qualified attorneys to take capital appeals cases as a condition for being assigned to other cases in the future. Proposition 66 also allows the condemned to be housed in appropriate facilities other than San Quentin, the state’s death row for male inmates. “When we talk about speeding up appeals, some of it sounds sort of unfair,” says Hanisee. But, she adds, slowing down the process can be equally unjust to inmates. In >15

NEWS BRIEFS THAT’S A WRAP With the green fields of the Watsonville fairgrounds stretching out before them, the panelists are getting hungry at the second annual Burrito Bash. Wisecracking and ribbing are already underway from judges, like Santa Cruz Sentinel advertising director Steve Bennett, before the burritos even arrive. It’s a few minutes past noon, and while beers are being poured, Charles Montoya, the Watsonville city manager, is making a cry for

help. “It’s too early for Steve!” he exclaims, a plastic cup of Modelo in front of him. “It’s never too early,” Bennett retorts loudly. “It’s cocktail hour somewhere.” “No, it’s too early for us to handle Steve,” Montoya yells back. I’ve been invited to partake in this panel on Saturday, Oct. 15, based on a couple burrito guides I wrote, and I’m armed with a pocket full of pills to help me handle my lactose intolerance, a condition I developed a few years ago, presumably from eating too

many burritos. DJ Kenny Allen, of the Hippo, is standing behind us offering color commentary, as the five burritos start arriving, one by one, each cut in half, on paper plates. When we get to burrito No. 3, Allen notes that the judges become very quiet, except for a few devouring sounds. That carnitas creation, the People’s Choice Burrito from Jardines De San Juan, would end up taking home first place. The San Juan Bautista restaurant came up with it for

the 2015 Burrito Bash, when it won that year’s People’s Choice award. It was so popular they had to put it on their menu, and it’s now their best seller, Chef Marcus Edwards says. “It had the perfect texture to a burrito, crunchy yet soft, with the perfect spice to it,” judge June Ponce, of Sun Valley Berries, says fondly. “It was the perfect Hollywood burrito you’d expect in a movie, where you see the actor Brad Pitt biting into it, and it just goes everywhere.” JACOB PIERCE

NEWS one of many in the audience disturbed by the results. If there’s any help the government can give, housing is the best place to start, Palacios said in Spanish. Palacios works 35 hours per week cleaning a restaurant, and her partner works odd jobs in landscaping and construction. She said 80 percent of their income goes to pay $1,200 in rent for a mobile home they share with their two children. The manager doesn’t fix things when they break, she said, and sometimes she has to decide between food, rent or new clothes for her daughters.

BLEAK OUTLOOK

Greenberg called for the construction of dense affordable housing in Santa Cruz, to combat the sprawl that’s pushing low-income workers to the county’s borders. The housing crisis is also a sustainability issue, since the further workers commute, the more greenhouse gases their commutes generate. Equity has to be at the core of any sustainability plan, she says. In one of the museum galleries was a resource fair of a dozen local affordable housing organizations. Carol Berg, the city’s housing community development manager, handed out packets describing the city’s affordable housing. The biggest need is housing for extremely lowincome people, 22 percent of residents, who can only afford 4 percent of the city’s housing. The landscape of funding for affordable housing changed dramatically after the state’s redevelopment agency dissolved in 2012, Berg says. On pie charts showing funding for the Riverwalk Apartments, the Tannery Artist Lofts and Gault Street Senior Housing— affordable housing complexes funded before 2012—Berg pointed to funding sources that have dried up, such as tax credit equity and state multi-family housing loans and grants. “You take away this, you take away that,” Berg says. “What do you got?”

RENT TO MOAN <11 work 96 hours a week—or, in other words, hold 2.4 jobs to afford a place to live,” says McKay. “So the actual housing wage, how much do you actually need to earn to just get by, is $30 per hour. That’s $60,000 per year. That’s about our median income, just to get by.” The team has completed the survey’s

first phase, and in the next year, McKay and Greenberg plan to survey the county’s other two areas with large concentrations of Latinos: Live Oak and Watsonville. So far, about two-thirds of those surveyed make less than $30,000. Around half are Latino, and around half have children. Three quarters of respondents said they spent more than 30 percent of their income

on rent. Around 25 percent said they spent more than 70 percent of income on rent. McKay and his colleagues published more results on overcrowding, evictions and other problems online at noplacelikehomeucsc. org. The event kicked off Affordable Housing Awareness Week in Santa Cruz, which runs through Saturday, Oct. 22. Oralia Palacios, a Live Oak resident, was

the first capital verdict she oversaw as a Los Angeles deputy district attorney, the condemned man waited four years to be assigned an appellate lawyer, and another year for the lawyer to get up to speed on the case. Eight years later, his appeal has received 21 extensions, according to Hanisee, and no opening brief has been filed. “If [he] were innocent or had a legitimate cause, it’s not getting heard,” she argues. She estimates that Proposition 66 could shorten the appeals process by half. Both campaigns claim they will save taxpayers millions of dollars annually. Proposition 62’s website says abolishing the death penalty will save the state $150 million per year, a figure that squares with a May 2016 report from the LAO. Regarding Proposition 66 savings, the LAO said it would come from the way inmates are housed and “could potentially reach the tens of millions of dollars annually,” not hundreds of millions. Overall, the report concludes that Proposition 66’s longterm fiscal impact is unclear because it would likely reduce caseloads but require state courts to be staffed at higher levels. Fiscal arguments may sway some voters, but the death penalty at its core is an emotional issue. The propositions require a simple majority to pass, and if both receive more than 50 percent of the vote, the one with the higher percentage will become law. Decisions on propositions 62 and 66 could come down to choosing between seeing “the worst of the worst” punished or the fear that an innocent person may be killed. Twenty years have passed, but the death penalty remains an emotional issue for Klaas. Davis no longer dominates his thoughts the way he once did, but his extended stay on death row prevents the closure Klaas seeks. “Oh, I’m gonna drink Champagne the night that he’s executed,” Klaas says, the white of sailboats in Richardson Bay glinting through his kitchen window. “The mere fact that he still exists on this Earth influences my life and it influences my thoughts. So, eliminate him, and you eliminate that burden.”

LORETTA SANCHEZ

US CONGRESS DISTRICT 18

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

DEMOCRAT

California Attorney General Kamala Harris began her career at the district attorney’s office in San Francisco. In her voter statement, she touts her past standing up to sexual predators, criminal organizations and human traffickers. She also vows to stand up to special interests, noting her history of prosecuting fossil fuel companies that have polluted California. Harris has also helped strengthen foreclosure laws in the wake of the housing crisis created by big banks immediately before and during the Great Recession. She says she’ll bring in federal dollars to repair the state’s water infrastructure. Harris additionally vows to fight for better schools, better access for families looking to place children in pre-kindergarten,

DEMOCRAT

Loretta Sanchez is currently the congressmember for the 46th district for the United States House of Representatives. In her statement to voters, Sanchez stresses her experience as a politician at the federal level as a contrast to Harris. Sanchez says her background as the daughter of immigrants has taught her the value of hard work and contributes to her ability to fight for comprehensive immigration reform. In her voting record, Sanchez points to her formal opposition to the Iraq War, her voting against the Patriot Act and her decision to cast a “no” vote against the Wall Street bailouts as proof of her political judgment and experience. She also says her experience in grappling with

ANNA ESHOO DEMOCRAT

Anna Eshoo, a veteran Democrat, began her political career on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993. She touts her ability to break through partisan gridlock in Washington D.C. to get things done for her constituents. Along with working on civil rights issues, Eshoo says she remains focused on making sure the federal government contributes funding to research of cutting-edge technologies being developed in her district. “My congressional district is the innovation hub of the country,

even the world,” she says. “If we are going to keep it that way, and if the 21st century is to be an American century, we have to make key investments in basic research and the institutions that conduct it.”

RICHARD FOX REPUBLICAN

Richard Fox says he is a fiscally conservative, socially moderate and pro-choice Republican whose focus is on balancing the federal budget. Deficit spending that plunges the country further into debt is crippling the economy, he says, endangering the prosperity of future generations. Fox, a physician and attorney, also wants to end what he calls “crony capitalism,” or an economy that only favors those at the top, pointing to low labor force participation and low rates of homeownership as examples of

how the current economy is failing. “For a healthy, growing economy for everyone,” he says in his candidate statement, “we need to control wasteful spending and borrowing with a Balanced Budget Amendment, whereby the President and Congress don’t get paid unless the budget balances.”

CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 17

BILL MONNING DEMOCRAT

A California state senator for eight years, Bill Monning has authored more than 80 bills since his first inauguration, including the End of Life Options Act, which gives terminally ill patients the right to die with physician assistance. In his candidate statement, Monning says he would like to see the state legislature continue passing balanced budgets, while restoring critical funding to education, healthcare and public safety. “This is my last term under the term limits, but I am excited about the prospect of four more years,” Monning says. “As majority leader, I was able to get a lot done in the last session and I want to continue to work for my constituents in the 17th district and all of California.”

PALMER KAIN REPUBLICAN

MARK STONE DEMOCRAT

Mark Stone has served as an elected official for more than 20 years, sitting on school boards, the Board of Supervisors, the Coastal Commission and the California State Assembly. In his candidate statement, he says his priority is the most vulnerable Californians, including the poor, those in foster care and those facing terminal illness. In the past two years, he has had a number of bills signed into law, including foster care reform and his Student Loan Borrower’s Bill of Rights. “The main issues around the Monterey Bay continue to be water, housing and transportation,” he says. “I want to continue to work on these issues. I am finishing my fourth year, and if the voters are willing, I can spend eight more years. There is a lot of work to do.”

SIERRA ROBERTS REPUBLICAN

Sierra Roberts did not file a candidate statement with the California Secretary of State, and her website doesn’t contain any information about her background or platform. According to VoteCircle. com, Roberts is a graduate of CSU Monterey Bay. She did not respond to interview requests.

CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 30

KARINA CERVANTEZ ALEJO DEMOCRAT

Former Watsonville City Councilmember Karina Cervantez Alejo currently lectures at CSU Monterey Bay. Alejo was born the daughter of farm workers, and became the first person in her family to earn an advanced college degree. “There are tough issues out there, including income inequality, housing affordability, and economic vitality,” says Alejo, who’s running for a seat

currently held by her husband Luis. “Commitments to these issues don’t come overnight. It’s been a long history of involvement.” Alejo is also quick to point out that her opponent has already served two terms in the district, meaning she will only be eligible to serve for four years, instead of a full 12.

ANNA CABALLERO DEMOCRAT

Anna Caballero has served as a Salinas city councilmember, an assembly representative and secretary of the California Business, Services and Housing Agency under Governor Jerry Brown. Caballero says that experience gives her a strong fiscal background that would aid her in the California State Legislature. Caballero wants to also focus on how land use issues intersect with affordable housing and agriculture. “We must protect our agricultural land and our range land in our rural communities,” she says. She also wants to address chronic widespread homelessness, youth violence and the needs of returning veterans—issues on which she says she has an edge because of her experience working closely with Brown.

SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR FOUR)

CHRIS KROHN Former Santa Cruz mayor Chris Krohn hopes to return to local politics nearly 14 years after his stint on the council. Krohn, currently a UCSC internship coordinator, says he feels dissatisfied with the current state of local politics and the sitting councilmembers. He is campaigning with values similar to those of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, he says, calling for better solutions to housing, transportation and water sourcing. Krohn, an avid environmentalist, hopes that with the election of four new councilmembers, Santa Cruz City Council leadership will evolve into a “neighborhood first” approach.

NATHANAEL KENNEDY Often seen speaking at public meetings on issues such as local policing and sidewalk chalking downtown, Nathanael Kennedy is stepping into the political arena in the hope of having a greater impact. His arrests between 2002 and 2014 for charges that he has blamed on his bipolar disorder have been an issue in the campaign, but Kennedy wants to focus on addressing homelessness through policies such as opening more public restrooms downtown and increasing the number of police officers on bicycles. He also wants to change sidewalk chalking restrictions from a misdemeanor to an infraction, and open public spaces for legal sidewalk chalking.

MARTINE WATKINS A mother of two, Martine Watkins is currently working as a senior community organizer for the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, and says she is campaigning with her children and future generations in mind. Watkins, whose father Michael is the county superintendent, is involved with local community organizations such as the Dominican Hospital Community Advisory Board and the County Child Care Planning Council.

ROBERT SINGLETON At 26 years old, Robert Singleton has been running on a theme of “investing in our future,” and hopes to improve public safety, improve resources for substance abuse, and advocate for smaller, more affordable rental properties. The youngest candidate in the race, Singleton works as a policy analyst for Santa Cruz Business Council and as the Santa Cruz County Association of Realtors government affairs director. He also helped found the online startup Civinomics, which promotes community involvement in government.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 19-25, 2016

Palmer Kain, a Republican living in Santa Cruz, served overseas in the United States Army. He has a vision for three separate sectors: education, agriculture and the criminal justice system. “My opponent has been in office 22 years between the assembly and the senate, and he has not addressed the issues that affect the people of this community on a daily basis,” Kain says. Kain, who has never held elected office, says leaders must tackle water security on the Central Coast. “Our solutions don’t require a physical plant,” he says. “We just need to make sure everybody pays their fair share.”

Fruit Tree Project, Steve Schnaar is running for a seat after being part of Councilmember Micah Posner’s successful 2012 campaign. Schnaar previously served for six years as the administrative director for the Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living. He advocates for 24-hour public restrooms, supervised homeless camping sites and more support for a more comprehensive transportation network with better bicycling infrastructure. He has also made a commitment to protecting existing heritage trees.

SANDY BROWN Sandy Brown is an assistant professor at the University of the Pacific, where she teaches urban food politics and other subjects. After attending UCSC, Brown received her doctorate in geography from UC Berkeley, where her research focused on food systems and farm labor politics. Brown, a longtime labor organizer, currently serves on the board of the California Institute for Rural Studies and the Agricultural Justice Project Advisory Board. Brown wants to focus on topics like sustainable development and economic development policies.

JAMES DAVIS Longtime Santa Cruz resident Jim Davis is a sales representative for Mapleton Communications, which owns several local radio stations. Davis says he wanted to run because current politicians aren’t addressing issues like homelessness and substance abuse. He hopes to develop new jobs for homeless individuals and address safety issues like littered hypodermic needles. A few weeks ago, Davis was arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence after failing to yield at a stop sign, which has complicated his campaign. Neither Santa Cruz Police nor the District Attorney’s office would comment on the test results. Davis says he was under the legal alcohol limit, and will dispute the charge in court if necessary.

DREW GLOVER Drew Glover is the CEO of Project Pollinate, a nonprofit community group that provides assistance for nonprofit groups and community service projects. A lifelong resident of Santa Cruz, Glover is focusing his campaign on housing and transportation problems, inclusivity and environmental justice. He wants to limit UCSC expansion and promote environmentally friendly policies as the city grows. He also hopes to promote diversity and improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

CYNTHIA MATHEWS Political veteran Cynthia Mathews is running for a city council seat for a fifth time. After serving as mayor for four terms, Mathews will look to continue fostering a diversified economy that provides jobs and builds a sound tax base to support city services. Mathews served for 12 years as an appointed member of the city’s planning commission and zoning boards and as a member of Vision Santa Cruz, the advisory group that shaped the recovery of downtown Santa Cruz following the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. She has recently been discussing how to mediate issues around homelessness in Santa Cruz.

J.M. BROWN J.M. Brown serves on the Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Commission and works in public relations. He was previously a reporter at the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Brown is campaigning on issues from the addition of tourism taxes and local tax bonds to support for housing funds, and investment in cleaning up and establishing better maintenance of the habitats and wildlife surrounding the San Lorenzo River.

CAPITOLA CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR TWO)

ED BOTTORFF Ed Bottorff’s campaign for re-election is focused on

ELECTIONS infrastructure. Most of Capitola’s revenue comes from sales tax, and so the sale of the Capitola Mall in May offers an opportunity, he says—developers want to invest more than $200 million in the mall, which could guarantee the city’s prosperity for years. “Barring that project, it becomes very challenging for Capitola in having new sources of revenue,” Bottorff says, noting that the city doesn’t have much land to develop. He wants to rebuild the Capitola Wharf, should the Measure F sales tax pass this November. He also wants to complete work on the Rispin Mansion Park, a project that has been ongoing for decades.

BOB EDGREN Bob Edgren, a retired property developer, wants to tackle three issues: relieving traffic, fixing what he calls a “hazardous” intersection and promoting the mall. “I want to keep the small village ambiance,” says Edgren. He supports a seasonal ban on cars at Capitola’s Esplanade and a plan to divert cars from the village. At the intersection of Clares Street and Wharf Road, he wants to build an overhead walkway from the library to the Rispin Mansion to alleviate pedestrian and bike traffic. He says he has 25 years of experience promoting malls, and wants to ensure that the new owners of the Capitola Mall are successful, since it’s a vital source of city revenues.

Kristen Petersen, a 29-year-old congressional aide to Sam Farr, says she represents a younger voice and fresh perspective. She’s pushing for more affordable housing in Capitola, as described in the city’s general plan. She’s excited about the 41st Avenue corridor development described in the city’s general plan, but wants to limit development in Capitola Village, she says. While not officially on a slate with Sam Storey, Petersen says she supports his campaign and that their ideas on development are similar.

Storey, a former mayor and city councilmember, entered the race in late September, after the filing deadline, as a write-in candidate. To vote for Storey, residents won’t be able to check a box—they must add his name. Storey, an attorney, was planning to wait until 2018 to return to politics, but decided to run after he was urged to by supporters, he says. His top concern is preserving the city’s “small-town feel.” The 41st Avenue corridor is an important economic engine, but development needs to be balanced with protecting neighborhoods, he says. “There’s a certain quality of life that people here enjoy in those neighborhoods, and I want to run on a platform to help preserve that quality of life,” he says. Storey also says he supports Kristen Petersen’s campaign and that they share similar visions for Capitola.

SCOTTS VALLEY CITY COUNCIL (VOTE FOR THREE)

DENE BUSTICHI

Three-time Scotts Valley Mayor Dene Bustichi is seeking his fourth term on City Council. Bustichi, a controller at a construction business he owns with his son, was born and raised in Scotts Valley. “The character of Scotts Valley has always stayed the same, and I’d like to see that continue. I’d like to see local people have local control of our city, and not have outside influences, whether it’s party politics or other officials from outside the city trying to take control,” he says. He serves on the city’s economic subcommittee, and says that filling vacant commercial space on Scotts Valley Drive is a priority. He also wants to complete the town center project.

SAM STOREY

ELECTIONS <19 says, Scotts Valley loaned a hotel company $1.7 million in 2015 so it could build a hotel on Scotts Valley Drive. The loan is funded by a grant and future tax revenue generated by the hotel. The city has also deferred around $500,000 in traffic impact fees for the hotel. “I’m not necessarily against development. I just want to make sure we do it right,” he says. Dilles also says he wants to make a five-year business plan for the city, communicate better with the public and protect the city’s natural resources.

ROSANNA HERRERA Rosanna Herrera, owner of Bruno’s BBQ in Scotts Valley, says she wants more of three things in local government: public input, transparency and full disclosure. Transparency means giving the public regular updates, she says. “Full disclosure is when projects are going on and they’re telling you, ‘Oh, we’re doing this great thing. We’re bringing this hotel into the city.’ But they’re not telling you that they’re helping the new hotel get financed,” says Herrera. “I want the full story up front. I don’t want half the story, and I need to go digging.”

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

RANDY JOHNSON

Randy Johnson is running for his sixth term on Scotts Valley City Council. Things are going well for the city, he says—for instance, the town center project is back on track, with a developer interested in buying city property on Mount Hermon Road to build a brewpub. He’s served on councils that helped negotiate a farmers market and build a new library, a community garden and a performing arts center. The council recently brought two new hotels and a conference center to the city, which will help bring revenue. “I’ve heard more than one person say to me, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’” Johnson says. “So I kind of carry that along, because people are pretty satisfied with the direction of Scotts Valley.”

DONNA LIND Donna Lind currently serves as

Scotts Valley’s mayor, and is seeking her third term on the City Council. She had a 38-year career with the city, first as a secretary and later as a police officer, before retiring in 2006. The city is currently “in transition,” she says, with its recent hiring of a new city manager and community development director. Soon it will also have a new deputy city manager and administrative services director, and a new police chief, she says. Lind says she’s running to help smooth the transition. “For me, the real important thing is to have consistency, and have that support for the next 50 years,” Lind says.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 2

OSCAR RIOS Oscar Rios is a former city councilmember in Watsonville, who began his career in 1989. He has served four times as mayor. He says one of the chief issues he would tackle if elected is affordable housing, as high rents have endangered the stability of the agricultural workforce. “I hear from a lot of workers in the city, and it’s hard for them to make ends meet,” Rios says. He also talks about the need to revitalize the downtown corridor, making it more of a magnet for visitors coming from throughout the Monterey Bay. “It needs to have more of a life,” he said. “We have the Fox Theater remodeling, and with Cabrillo College there is a potential for the plaza to be a very nice center.”

DAVID HERMOSILLO David Hermosillo is the former Watsonville fire chief. Now retired, he lists his life-long residency and love for his community as major qualifications in his candidate statement. In 60 years of living in Watsonville, he has undergone many personal transformations, from being a young student at Mintie White Elementary School all the way to being a

grandfather. Hermosillo says he wants to prioritize public safety and attracting family-friendly businesses to the downtown area. His goals range from providing seniors with affordable housing to mentoring young people in Little League. “I will listen and advocate for our neighborhoods,” he writes.

WATSONVILLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 1

FELIPE HERNANDEZ The incumbent for the city council’s District 1 seat, Felipe Hernandez, is running unopposed and says his campaign is focusing on the importance of housing and economic development. “We have accomplished a lot during my mayorship,” he says. “We have approved more than 340 new houses for the community.” Hernandez says he also wants to foster more community engagement, adding that the creation of a popular new skate park is just the beginning. Hernandez says there is much more work to be done in Watsonville, including tackling the presence of the carcinogen chromium 6 in some of the city’s wells.

DOREEN MARTINEZ Doreen Martinez is a former union organizer who says she wants to bring higher-paying jobs to downtown Watsonville and make its neighborhoods safer. She also emphasizes the need for a park in District 6 for young people and dog owners. Martinez is eager to hear the concerns of the community because she hopes to represent everyone. “I want to be a part of beautifying Watsonville,” she says. “I love this community and the community members who live here.”

CAPITOLA TREASURER

PETER WILK Peter Wilk is running unopposed for Capitola treasurer. Wilk says that while he’s not an accountant, he has a Santa Clara University M.B.A and can help oversee the city’s finance department. For the past two years, the retired engineering manager has served on Capitola’s environmental commission. “Nobody wants to do it, because it’s not really a glamorous position,” Wilk says of the treasurer job. “But I thought it was a good opportunity to learn about the government.”

Trina Coffman-Gomez is the incumbent running for her second consecutive term on the Watsonville City Council. Coffman-Gomez says she would like to continue the council’s momentum on job creation, as a new FedEx shipping center brings around 500 jobs to the area. Coffman-Gomez also says city leaders need to work to enhance public safety, adding that she supports Measure G, which would infuse $1.4 million into the city’s police and fire departments. “I am in touch with the business community, the agricultural community, the police and fire departments,” she says. “I reach out to all the different agencies and make sure their voices are heard.

Elected to the San Lorenzo Valley Water District’s board in 2012, Randall C. Brown was commissioned to write the history of the water district a year earlier, publishing his findings in 2011 for its 70th anniversary. His research into the past, he says in his candidate statement, helped him understand the challenges of the present.

SOQUEL CREEK WATER DISTRICT BOARD, TWO-YEAR TERM (VOTE FOR TWO)

RACHÉL LATHER The Soquel Creek Water Board appointed Rachél Lather to fill a vacancy after the death of Director Rick Meyer. Lather, a semi-retired civil engineer, worked for 14 years as a sanitation engineer for Santa

Cruz County. A single mother, she now works part-time for a company specializing in grants for water and wastewater. “I know about the cutting-edge trend of water funding in California,” she says. “So I’m hoping to bring that knowledge and help [the board] not have to raise rates as much.” A supporter of regional solutions, Lather would like to see a water transfer finalized with the city of Santa Cruz, although she adds there are still plenty of possible legal questions and potential chemistry issues to be worked out.

JOHN BARGETTO With Soquel Creek running right past Bargetto Winery in Soquel, John Bargetto says he has pretty much always been interested in water—an interest that grew as district woes deepened. Bargetto, whose father Lawrence co-founded the district, says it needs to keep conserving and start pumping water into its aquifer, as well as look into creative recycled water solutions, like Pajaro Valley Water District has done. “I tell people there’s no easy answer. There’s no inexpensive answer, and there’s no quick answer,” he says. “What I hope to bring is my study of science. I studied science at UC Davis. I studied business at the University of Notre Dame. And I’m a farmer, too, in Corralitos. I know how to get things done.”

He held the Transpacific Yacht Racing Record from 1977 to 1997 for running the Merlin, a Santa Cruz Yachts vessel, from Los Angeles to Honolulu in eight days.

He says he’s running to help keep the harbor running efficiently.

DENNIS L. SMITH Incumbent Port Commissioner Dennis L. Smith hopes to continue taking the harbor on a path of transparency and accountability. “I really want to see some projects through,” says Smith, who adds that owners and renters are his number one priority.

CHRISTOPHER CHARMAN

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

As a father of two sons currently in school, Christopher Charman has no political ambition, he says. He just wants the kids to have a voice on the board. Working as a real estate broker, Charman says he prioritizes making Santa Cruz affordable so that after local schools train new teachers for four or five years, they don’t go over the hill for higher paying jobs. The huge wealth gap in the county, he says, affects how much schools can fundraise. Charman remembers the Aptos High jazz program under Don Keller, which produced musicians who went on to work with David Bowie, Norah Jones and Ray Charles. When its funding went away, so did the program. In addition to finding a solution for such funding problems, he wants to make classes like shop and bike repair more accessible.

CABRILLO COLLEGE

DANIEL DODGE Former mayor of Watsonville Daniel Dodge says he wants to continue his public service in Santa Cruz County. A former student at Cabrillo College, he realizes the vital role that the school plays in the community. He wants to see Cabrillo offer fouryear degree programs in the future, as well as address the statewide teacher shortage and maintain its status as a pipeline for other nearby universities and colleges. Concerned about traffic problems across the county, he also wants to make it

easier for students to easily access classes by expanding the Cabrillo Center in Watsonville and drawing more South County students to that location.

LETICIA MENDOZA Leticia Mendoza believes her professional experience and academic background provide her with the expertise and understanding to address the educational needs in Watsonville. She has a B.A. in economics and a master’s degree in public education. She manages a statefunded preschool program and has worked as executive director at a Watsonville nonprofit for seven years. If elected, Mendoza would like to increase educational access for people in Watsonville and ensure that students get the necessary curriculum to enter their local workforce.

LUPE RIVAS A retired teacher with 35 years of experience, Lupe Rivas has served on the board for four years. She says she’s committed to making the internet accessible to all children and expanding mental health services for middle school children. At this point, she feels it would be difficult to get a new board member in gear for the projects already in progress, like Pajaro Valley High School construction. Reducing class sizes from 30 to 24 at the K-3 level has been her proudest achievement. Rivas wants to keep safeguarding state and federal funding so that it goes toward low-income students and English learners—coming from a migrant family, she understands how vital education is to success.

A retired truck driver and father of four, Lelieur believes he can bring fresh energy and transparency to the school district. “I’d like to make the school board more accessible to the parents,” he says. “It’s important to keep them involved.” Lelieur also hopes to improve art and afterschool programs for students, as well as the music departments: “We need to remember there’s a direct correlation between math and music.”

Where other people may shrink away from budget analysis, Rains says she thoroughly enjoys it, adding that she thinks it would be valuable for the board and community to sit down together and address all of the district’s various needs while putting together the next budget. Rains also says it is time for change within the board, and hopes to achieve a higher level of transparency and communication between the board and the community.

With a son at Vine Hill Elementary, she seeks to bring a sense of urgency to the rebuild of Scotts Valley Middle School, and wants to see the bond money approved in June of 2014 swiftly and properly put to use.

Seeking a third term on the board, Michael Shulman hopes to support newly hired superintendent Tanya Krause, who began over the summer. He also wants to help the middle school construction project stay on track. He’s well aware that the school district received a lot of attention in June for a rape fantasy letter that a high school boy wrote about a fellow classmate and handed to her, according to a Santa Cruz Sentinel story at the time. “I wish the Sentinel had handled it a little more sensitively,” says Shulman, who says officials had been in the middle of a process at the time. He notes that the student who wrote the letter is now no longer at the school, a resolution everyone has been happy with, he says. With three board members up for re-election and the two others having recently resigned, Shulman wants to make sure the district doesn’t experience a complete turnover in leadership.

He has served on the Central Fire Protection District (CFPD) since being appointed in 2011. “The Board of Directors had to make some difficult decisions this year,” he says.

During his time on the board, he’s been a part of proactive planning that he says has ensured that the school squeezes every bit of value out of their funding. At Mountain, the arts are hugely valued and that’s what Fletcher wants to preserve. During his time on the board, they’ve modernized and given raises as high as 7 percent—the product of proactive financial planning that he wants to sustain for the future.

ELECTIONS <27 Michael C. Mitchell has 31 years of experience as a firefighter, and retired as the assistant fire chief for the Central Fire District. He has been on the board since 2000. He says he understands the everyday challenges faced by emergency workers throughout the county. If re-elected, Mitchell says he will make sure the board continues to be fiscally responsible while facing rising costs. “There are many unknowns the board constantly faces,” he says. “Insurance keeps rising so we must continue getting the biggest bang for the taxpayer’s dollar.”

years, Kevin Walter spent 31 years working for the Soquel School District and 12 years as a paid call firefighter and EMT. He decided to run for the Central Fire District to give emergency workers a fair voice. “I believe it’s time for a change,” he says. “They need someone who can listen to their cares and concerns.” If elected, he hopes to bring more transparency to the Board and to bring an “open door” policy for workers and the public to operate with. “I will discuss any issue with any concerned person so no one is left in the dark,” he says.

RICHARD PHILLIPS

DAVID BURNHAM

Richard Phillips did not return calls or submit a public statement. He is running as an incumbent.

Inspired to run for the Fire Board after attending several of their public meetings, Burnham believes he can bring some fresh ideas. “There needs to be more transparency and discussion on the board,” he says. The retired truck driver has lived in Live Oak for 42 years and worked with his local labor union when driving for the Coca-Cola company. He sees recent financial cuts to the Fire District as a major issue in this election “We need to continue with the excellent service [the fire department] has done over the years without losing good people.”

MICHAEL C. MITCHELL

JOHN P. LUCCHESI John Lucchesi could not be reached, but according to his public statement, he has lived in Soquel since 1973 and spent 25 years as a battalion fire chief. He is running to provide transparency to the board, and to maintain the welfare of CFPD customers and workers. “We need to pursue, not isolate, future opportunities to address comparable services with allied agencies for an improved cost effective system,” he says.

Retired first responder Owen Miller spent years as a firefighter, captain, fire marshal, battalion chief and more. He decided to use his 33 years of experience to run for the Central Fire Protection District Board because he knows first-hand how difficult the job is and what other first responders need. “It bothers me that [two years ago] Central Fire had its training budget cut,” he says. “I want to ensure our firefighters continue getting the best training and education the county and state have to offer.”

SCOTTS VALLEY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT (VOTE FOR THREE)

JANE A. ARMSTRONG Jane Armstrong has served as board president for the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District (SVFPD) and on the finance and personnel committees as well as the fire district newsletter. Her statement says she works to keep spending under control and listen to the community, and has worked for a taxpayer watchdog group, the Santa Cruz County Fair, Exchange Club of Scotts Valley, California Women’s Clubs, and International Programs. Armstrong could not be reached for this story.

ELECTIONS

ALAN L. SMITH Alan L. Smith has been jokingly telling people to write him in for president. “People don’t like money in politics,” he says. “I’ve got none.” Smith, an incumbent on the SVFPD’s board of directors, says he’s learned over the past five years that it’s experience that counts. He was a part of hiring Fire Chief Daniel Grebil, who’s now retiring, and says the district will soon have to recruit and hire someone else to fill the job. Additionally, Smith says that working through the economic downturn has helped him and the district to plan for future uncertainties. “I’ve worked with the budget in good times and bad times,” he says. “We don’t know what the future will hold, but we need experienced board members to keep the ship aright.”

ARTHUR E. SMITH

RUSS PATTERSON Russ Patterson has very specific goals for the fire district. If elected he wants to look at rebuilding Fire Station 1, which he says is not up to earthquake safety standards,

and consider moving it to Mount Hermon Road. Patterson also wants a reserve Type 3 engine with 4-wheel drive, so that the district can be better equipped for “urban and wildland interface fires.” Currently, the district only has one, which has put a strain on resources when major fires like the Soberanes one hit. Patterson has been an emergency management consultant for 10 years and before his retirement, he was captain of the Campbell police department and emergency manager there. Finding a new fire chief is also crucial, says Patterson, and he wants to be a part of it: “I travel throughout the state and the rest of the country, I see what’s happening in the fire service. I understand financing, special districts, budgeting, how fire districts work, I could come in and hit the ground running.”

DARON L. PISCIOTTA A veteran of Santa Clara County Fire Department for the last 29 years, Daron Pisciotta has been looking for a way to give back to his community. Pisciotta, who currently works as Santa Clara County’s deputy fire chief, says the time feels right now that his kids have grown a little older. He says he’s learned how to help keep firefighters safe from health hazards like cancer by making sure their spaces at the station won’t pick up any of the contaminants from the job. “If they’re happy and safe, they can provide more to the community they serve,” explains Pisciotta, adding that although the department is doing many of these things already, he can help it stay on track. “I want to keep their families in mind.”

SHAWN MOSLEY Senior systems engineer Shawn Mosley hopes to bring “conservative but innovative ideas” to the SVFPD according to his candidate statement. Mosley, who could not be reached for an interview, says he wants to spread safety awareness, especially to children.

A former firefighter of 34 years in Felton and Monterey, Arthur Smith has served on the finance committee for the fire board since he stepped on in 2002. It’s that background in finance that’s served him well so far and will continue to inform his work if re-elected, he says. “The biggest issues we face in the future in my opinion are probably healthcare costs,” he says. Back in 2008 when the financial crisis hit, the board had to ask firefighters and employees to take pay cuts in order to avoid layoffs. Smith says it was a major accomplishment for all involved to have gotten through that and finally get salaries up again. Thankfully, the district is starting to see an increase in property taxes again, says Smith, but retirement and health care still require a watchful eye with careful monitoring of reserve funds.

LITERATURE

“You have to find the next generation of readers. We’re not going to give in to the sense that young people like their devices and grew up with iPads.” - CASEY COONERTY PROTTI <30 4 with music, raffle prizes, a cake for each decade the store has been open, proclamations by the mayor, and even a congressional resolution by Sam Farr. Those who can’t make the party can still celebrate the next time they go to a local park, where they might sit down to read a book on one of three Artful Reading Benches that Bookshop has funded in parks around Santa Cruz as part of its 50th anniversary. “We wanted to create spots in local playgrounds for families to read together,” says Protti. The final bench by artist Terra Dawson will be dedicated in San Lorenzo Park on Oct. 25, but Protti knew she was on the right track by the time she arrived to dedicate the first bench by Bruce Harman in Grant Street Park—a grandmother was already there reading to her granddaughter with a pile of books on the bench. They knew nothing about the dedication, but the little girl lived nearby and had watched it being painted over several weeks. It had become her reading bench, and she reminded her grandma to bring books to read every time they went to the park. Protti knows the importance of children when it comes to community bookselling. “You have to find the next generation of readers,” she says. “We’re not going to give in to the sense that young people like their devices and grew up with iPads. They do see the value of physical books and reading is very much promoted in schools, so it’s part of our mission.” Studies support the notions that retention is higher with physical books and that kids prefer reading them. Reading physical books also makes kids more empathetic and mindful than electronic books, while reducing stress. “This is why we have the summer reading program, which every year is growing leaps and bounds, and the holiday drive where we donate books to the school

libraries,” says Protti. “It’s why we bring in great authors like Grace Lin, who’s been shortlisted for the National Book Award, and role models like Carly Lloyd, the gold medalist. We’re trying to make it very real for kids, and they’re responding. We view it as the future of the store.” These days, people are talking about the Renaissance of independent bookstores. After years of declining numbers and stores closing, there are actually more stores opening, but it’s their value to their communities that will determine their longevity. When it comes to Bookshop Santa Cruz, the community has been there all along. “There are many bookstores that didn’t make it,” Protti says, “and we’ve gone through a lot of struggles to get to this point. The reason we’re still here is because our community supported us so much. We’re in this together.”

TRY THIS TRICK AND SPIN IT, YEAH Paz Lenchantin (left) with her fellow Pixies: David Lovering,

Joey Santiago, Black Francis. The band plays the Catalyst on Tuesday, Oct. 25.

Here Comes Your Band Bassist Paz Lenchantin on joining the Pixies, scratching armpits and paying tribute to Kim Deal BY STEVE PALOPOLI “I guess sometimes we do set lists, but that was part of joining—I had to learn every single song ever written by the Pixies, because there’s usually no set list. They’ll start playing a song, and I start playing along.” “You mean, like, Black Francis just starts in on anything, and then you join in?” I ask, in disbelief. “Or he’ll call something out. There’s a couple of signs, too, with your hands. It depends on who starts the songs.” Now I am beginning to wonder about the reliability of our phone connection. “Did you just say you guys have signs? Like baseball?” Lenchantin chuckles, and this time it sounds a little embarrassed.

“You know, like ‘Monkey’s Gone To Heaven,’ you sort of itch yourself under your armpit a little bit.” “You do what under your armpit?” “You know, like … scratch,” she says, and her laugh blows up into pure joy, an embracing-theridiculousness-of-it-all kind of laugh. And, really, why shouldn’t Lenchantin embrace it? After all, her most important moments with the Pixies so far have been marked by a certain amount of cosmic absurdity. First, there’s the fact that her connection to the Pixies actually goes all the way back to 1997—sort of. A virtually unknown L.A. musician at the time, two years away from playing her first show with A Perfect Circle,

az Lenchantin has a hell of a laugh. It’s a throaty, full-bodied laugh, the kind that starts big and then gets even bigger as it takes over. It’s also the kind of laugh that can mean a lot of different things. When I start to ask the former bassist for A Perfect Circle and Billy Corgan’s Zwan—who joined the Pixies for a tour in 2014 before becoming a full-time member this year—about how her newest band goes about figuring out their set list for each show, her laugh clearly means “let me stop you right there.” “We don’t. We don’t do that,” she says. When I express disbelief, it turns into more of an oh-god-let-metell-you kind of a laugh.

she got a call out of the blue from the Pixies’ legendary guitarist, Joey Santiago. The Pixies had officially broken up four years earlier, after releasing groundbreaking alt-rock records like 1988’s Surfer Rosa and 1989’s Doolittle, and Santiago had formed the Martinis with wife Linda Mallari. That was the project he asked Lenchantin to audition for a tour with. “When I got the call from Joey, I couldn’t believe it, you know? I was like, ‘are you kidding me? I’m a nobody and Joey Santiago is calling me?’” she remembers. She got the gig, and after a tour up the coast of California, she and Santiago parted ways. They never spoke again, in fact, until he called her in 2014 to ask if she’d be interested in auditioning again—this time for the Pixies, who were looking for a bass player to replace bassist Kim Shattuck, who had replaced Deal in 2013, a decade after the Pixies first reunited. Lenchantin went to the audition telling herself that “no matter what, I would have fun, even if was just this one time that I got to play these amazing songs with one of the greatest bands in the world.” She got the gig, and the lesson may well be that if you ever get a call from Joey Santiago, definitely take it. The circumstances were even stranger surrounding her first writing contribution to the band: the song “All I Think About Now,” which she sings on the Pixies’ new record, Head Carrier. Inspired by mishearing another song they were working on in the studio, Lenchantin played an idea to Black Francis, who said she ought to flesh it out, and sing it. She said she would, if he would write the lyrics, and he asked her what she wanted to sing about. The song ended up being a tribute to Kim Deal. “There was this silence in the room, it was like 11 at night. I thought what do I want to sing about? And it hit me that it made sense to sing about Kim, to explore that. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even be in this room in the silence with Charles wondering what to sing about,” she says. And laughs.

MUSIC

REFLECTIVE MUSIC Charlie Parr plays on Friday, Oct. 21 at the Crepe Place.

Solitary Man OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Charlie Parr sleeps in his truck, avoids recording studios, and plays gorgeous acoustic blues BY CAT JOHNSON

hen singer-songwriter Charlie Parr’s aunt Mildred was on her dying bed, the family gathered around her and sang. Parr played her favorite song, Mississippi John Hurt’s “Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me,” and her sisters sang hymns. The moment inspired Parr’s song, “Remember Me,” a blues stomp that speaks to the brevity and passing of life: “I’ve lived my whole life for it to come down to this / Remember me if I forget / When I was a child we took care of our folks / Remember me if I forget / Is it too much to ask to repay what you owe / Remember me if I forget / My grandparents told us we’d reap just what we sow / Remember me if I forget.” The tune is the Duluth-based artist

at his finest: unassuming observations of life’s simple beauty and depth. A skilled folk-blues guitarist with a perfectly old-timey voice, Parr has a penchant for boot-stomping tunes and soul-stirring ballads that speak to folkies and punks alike. His songs come from “just about anywhere—the weirdest places,” he says. From overheard conversations to first-hand experiences and passing moments, they come when he least expects them and he “always feels lucky and honored” when they do. A road-weathered traveler who spends much of his year on the road playing shows and sleeping in the back of his truck, Parr enjoys the solitude. Friends put him up sometimes, but he never minds piling into his truck and

hitting the road—whether for the next gig or just to find a place to sleep. “I don’t like staying in hotels,” he says. “It makes me really, really depressed. This way, if I play a gig and I don’t know anybody, or I don’t feel comfortable, I can just wheel out of town and find a rest area or somewhere quiet, get in the back, and go to sleep.” Spending time alone is nothing new for Parr. He grew up listening to his dad’s roots music and as a teenager, expressed an interest in learning to play guitar. His dad traded a boat motor to get him a Gibson 12-string guitar. Parr took off six of the strings, “re-tuned it until it sounded like the music,” and spent countless hours in the basement, sitting in front of his

speakers trying to play along to his favorite roots and country artists. Without any formal training, Parr developed his own technique, working on one song for weeks. As he puts it, you “don’t win a lot of friends or influence people by sitting around trying to practice Lightnin’ Hopkins,” and the experience gave him “a lot of horrible, horrible, bad habits.” But, it sent him down the path of playing acoustic blues that are raw, simple and honest. “The thing that inspires me enough to play has always been roots music,” he says. “That space where folk and blues get tangled up. That’s the space I love.” Parr has 13 albums to his name— most of them indie recordings made in non-traditional recording environments. He doesn’t like the pressures of a studio and prefers to record in places he feels comfortable in—he believes if he’s uncomfortable, the recording will reflect that. His latest album, 2015’s Stumpjumper, was recorded in the back of a tobacco barn in North Carolina. On it, Parr is in top form as he rips through catchy and stripped-down folk and blues numbers. From the opening track, “Evil Companion,” a song taken from an overheard conversation, through the standout track “Remember Me,” and the hauntingly beautiful final track, “Delia,” it’s the album of an artist who knows himself and his music well. While his songwriting process is to have no process—because when he tries to force stuff he “usually makes it worse”—Parr walks peacefully through life, paying attention to the in-between moments. He’s not a loud or showy guy—he prefers to find simple, human stories, distill them into songs, and take them on the road to share. In that he finds fulfillment and his life’s work. “I’ve done well enough that no one has asked me to get a job,” he says. “I haven’t done so well that anyone is asking me how I do it, but I’ve done well enough that no one is bothering me about it. That feels pretty good.” Charlie Parr will perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND DRIFTING COMPASS

The open road, according to David Miller, is the best place to write. It’s no wonder everyone around town calls him “Nomad.” Actually, he used to be a nomad, quite literally. For seven years, Miller traveled from town to town as a solo singer-songwriter, playing whatever coffee shop would have him. In 2002, he settled into Santa Cruz, a town he’d frequently stop at on his travels, a perfect town for wanderers. “There was something about Santa Cruz that kept pulling me back,” Miller says.

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

In the mid-2000s, Miller put together Drifting Compass, taking his heart-onsleeve, travel-worn sound and giving it a roots rock, Americana feel. The group has released two EPs, the newest of which will be released at their Henfling’s show on Oct. 21.

“I pull from a lot of my experiences on the road. Just letting go, and embracing unknown things, and things that come your way. All of that influences the lyrics,” Miller says. The group has gone through several lineup changes. Lead guitarist Colin Bockman joined five years ago, and gave Miller’s songs a meatier hard-rock sound. Drummer Jeff Smits joined two years ago. Bassist Dana Young joined one year ago. “The songs are more fluid, but by far with a band the songs come across much more powerful. We chunk it up,” Miller says. “Since a band is like a marriage, it’s very important that our personalities mesh well together…and I love who I’m creating music with today in this band.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21. Henfling’s, 9450 Hwy. 9, Ben Lomond. Free. 336-9318.

FRIDAY 10/21 NEW ORLEANS

BIG SAM’S FUNKY NATION One of the finest and funkiest New Orleans bands, Big Sam’s Funky Nation brings the power and passion of Crescent City soul to audiences around the world.

PSYCHOBILLY

STELLAR CORPSES What is it about ghosts and goblins that pairs so nicely with punk rock? It’s like wine and cheese, or peanut butter and bananas. Misfits set the standard and, ever since, groups all over the world have taken the darkest B-movie imagery and paired them with the most sinister guitar riffage. As far as Santa Cruz is concerned, Stellar Corpses is

the band that rules the scene. The songs have a bit of punk, psychobilly and old school ’70s heavy metal. Most importantly, the lyrics will please any fan of the dark side: “Forever young, forever lost, children of the night/Avert your eyes from the cross, and scream into the night.” Eek!

tafarian message his entire life. With him, the Itals continue to champion the roots reggae sound the band helped create. Sharing the bill are Cruzah, Blazeen and DJ Spleece. KATIE SMALL

SATURDAY 10/22 REGGAE

THE ITALS The name ‘Ital’ comes from a Rastafarian term meaning natural and pure—well-suited for the band that was chiefly responsible for keeping the sound and spirit of roots reggae alive during the dancehall era. The Itals’ tight harmonies and uplifting songs made the members legendary reggae ambassadors of the early ’80s. The original lineup has shifted—today’s formation consists of bandleader Keith Porter and his daughter Koda touring their latest record, a unique reggae and R&B tribute album. Keith Porter’s father was a minister in Jamaica, and the singer has been spreading the Ras-

CAROLYN SILLS Renowned local Western swing outfit the Carolyn Sills Combo recently released a video for the tune “Big Canoe.” Filmed at Wilder Ranch, the video is a fun-loving nod to silent films and the slapstick humor of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. It’s the latest offering from our hometown heroes, who received four nominations from the Academy of Western Artists for their band’s new album Dime Stories, Volume 2, including Best Western Swing Group, Western Swing Album, Western Swing Song (“Even Villains Once Were Babies”) and Western Swing Female Singer. Keep your eyes on this band— it’s headed for great things. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

INDIE

DRESSY BESSY The Elephant 6 Collective, dating back from the ’90s, played various forms styles of indie rock, but all the groups had one thing in common: A love for all things ’60s. Dressy Bessy especially loved bouncy, jangly bubblegum in the variety of girl groups and the Monkees. The three-piece formed back in 1996. Its trademark was an infectious sound, raw-swinging instrumentation, and a penchant for almost overwhelmingly lush vocal harmonies. Dressy Bessy didn’t get the same name recognition as other groups in the collective—Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, the Apples in Stereo—but more than earned a spot next to these other great groups.

A world-music collective, Nahko & Medicine for the People is on a mission to motivate and inspire the members of their tribe—a global community of fans, activists and artists. The band, led by frontman Nahko Bear, who is a sixth generation Apache/ Mohawk with a Puerto Rican/Indian mother and a Filipino father, plays percussion-heavy dance music that unites, inspires and activates listeners to be the change they wish to see. CJ

guitars, long mid-song instrumental sections, intricate chord structures. Really, the band’s influences drew from avant-jazz as much as ’60s garage-rock. The group’s debut record, 1977’s Marquee Moon, is about as good as any guitar-wielding band can get. Even if punk rock didn’t end up sounding quite like Television, its influence was felt by a whole new generation of post-punkers and indie-rockers, who did everything they could to imitate the group’s unusual approach to rocking out. AC

A Bay Area yacht-rock tribute band that’s been dubbed a “soft rock party explosion,” Moustache Harbor, is all of your musical guilty pleasures rolled up into one glorious celebration of white jackets, sailor caps and cheesily nostalgic music: Boston, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Toto … should I continue? I can, because this band goes deep into ’70s pop territory to pull out all those jams that never get old. Moustache Harbor regularly sells out Bay Area venues and on Nov. 5, they bring the party to Felton. CAT JOHNSON

Chunks of the narrative seem to have disappeared; in their place are rhetorical questions meant to bridge the gaps.

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

WHEN THIS GUY SAYS HE’LL PROTECT YOUR ASSETS, HE’S NOT KIDDING! Ben Affleck in ‘The Accountant.’

Numbers Game Ben Affleck riffs on Batman in the latest film from the crowded action-finance genre, ‘The Accountant’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

n between ‘Batman’ movies, Ben Affleck decided to play Batman again. The Accountant amps up the Aspergery side of Our Hero, disposing of his cape but not his fantastic fighting abilities. And Bruce Wayne is disguised as a midwestern bean counter. Affleck is aliased as “Christian Wolff”—the Christian helps the

weak, the wolf punishes the strong; deep thoughts, indeed. “Wolff” describes himself as a person with high-functioning autism, but this isn’t even one of Affleck’s top 10 autistic performances in a movie. He’s never been a big reactor—he’s more like some sort of energy sink that absorbs the acting of others. And he constantly smudges the

outline of his character, showing sympathy and affection in between the fight scenes. Flashbacks show how this superaccountant acquired his skills, from being beaten up by a bulky Asian martial arts instructor to training to become a world-class sniper in the military. In the present tense, he’s hunted by Treasury agents,

both old dog J.K. Simmons and his new recruit (Cynthia AddaiRobinson). Meanwhile, a mysterious bulky enforcer (Jon Bernthal of The Punisher) is hunting down friends of Wolff’s clients. It’s all connected to some sketchy accounting going on at a robotics firm run by a grandfatherly CEO (John Lithgow). While auditing the books, Christian meets a friendly young pixie named Dana (Anna Kendrick) who is one of the firm’s accountants. Kendrick gives a lot of her usual nervous displays of ivory teeth, while seeking to know this mysterious Wolff, his beautiful mind, and his pair of cold shoulders. Despite a few good minutes, Kendrick languishes in the part. It’s not talking about the plot of The Accountant that can spoil it—it’s the fact that three decades of similar movies spoil it. Wolff’s childhood advice from his father was trite: “Being too different scares people.” Still, it seems director Gavin O’Connor followed this advice. Chunks of the narrative seem to have disappeared; in their place are rhetorical questions meant to bridge the gaps: “Risking your life for a girl you’ve known less than a week? Why?” The elder actors help. Simmons dominates his scenes; propping up his feet on a coffee table and sighing, “I was old 10 years ago,” shows how well he handles the Commissioner Gordon side of the story. THE ACCOUNTANT With Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, John Lithgow and J.K. Simmons. Written by Bill Dubuque. Directed by Gavin O’Connor. Rated R. 128 mins.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BOO! A MADEA HALLOWEEN It is immensely satisfying to see Madea sucker-punching a clown. (Disclaimer: GT does not endorse violence.) Tyler Perry directs. Tyler Perry, Cassi Davis, Patrice Lovely co-star. (PG-13) 103 minutes. DENIAL Atlanta Georgia, 1994: David Irving stands up in Deborah E. Lipstadt’s class and says the Holocaust didn’t happen. After he sues her for libel, she’s got to prove to him and to the world that it did. Mick Jackson directs. Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall costar. (PG-13) 110 minutes. I’M NOT ASHAMED Based on the true story and journal entries of Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed in the Columbine shooting on April 20, 1999. Brian Baugh directs. Masey McLain, Ben Davies, Cameron McKendry costar. (PG-13) 112 minutes.

OCTOBER 19-25, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

JACK REACHER Jeez, the cosmetologists have really secured a sweet package deal for Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise. Oh wait, are Ethan Hunt and Jack Reacher not the same person? Edward Zwick directs. Cobie Smulders and Robert Knepper co-star. (PG-13) 118 minutes.

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES A married couple who are all over each other, super stylish and good at everything? They must be fakes. Greg Mottola directs. Gal Gadot, Isla Fisher, Zach Galifianakis co-star. (PG-13) 101 minutes. A MAN CALLED OVE Ove spends his days visiting his wife’s grave. He’s given up on friendship and he’s had enough. So he decides to leave the world for good, but “killing oneself isn’t so easy, you know.” Hannes Holm directs. Rolf Lassgård, Bahar Pars, and Zozan Akgün co-star. (PG-13) 116 minutes. 31 Sweet, a movie about clowns

who are intent on inciting fear and chaos. Either art needs to stop imitating life or life needs to stop imitating art (if you can call this horror flick about a group of carnival workers kidnapped by clowns for a sadistic game art). Rob Zombie directs. Malcolm McDowell, Richard Brake, Jeff Daniel Phillips co-star. (R) 82 minutes. OUIJA: TRUE ORIGIN OF EVIL Disclaimer: October is particularly difficult for writers who need to have their eyes shut tight and the volume muted during trailers for scary movies. That said, this looks like a movie about a mother and her daughters who run a seance scam business, until one daughter actually does get possessed by demons. That’s all we can say on the matter. Will accept candy to ameliorate psychological scarring. Mike Flanagan directs. Lin Shaye, Doug Jones, Annalise Basso costar. (PG-13) 99 minutes.

NOW PLAYING THE ACCOUNTANT Reviewed this issue. (R) 128 minutes. AMERICAN HONEY They’re going door-to-door to make money selling magazines but this ragtag group of young misfits are more about the sex and drugs than entrepreneurial spirit. This is the movie that got LaBeouf 20 stitches and 13 staples, so we

can’t say he’s not committed to his craft. Andrea Arnold directs. Sasha Lane and Riley Keough costar. (R) 183 minutes.

Kevin Hart in front 53,000 people at Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field. Only, before the show … he had to make one stop. Leslie Small, Tim Story directs. Kevin Hart, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle co-star. (R) 96 minutes.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION No, the U.S. as a post-racial society is not a thing just because a bunch of people watched 12 Years a Slave. Yes, the enslavement of 10.7 million people in the U.S. ended in its legal form some time ago. But the stories still deserve telling, their legacies honored and their cruel remnants discussed—that’s why the true story of Nat Turner’s rebellion in the antebellum South is coming to the big screen. Nate Parker directs. Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Mark Boone Junior costar. (R) 120 minutes.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Denzel Washington is the courier of righteousness and he’s raining down hell on savage thieves with the help of a ragtag group of gun men. This is actually a remake of a remake, as the 1960 Yul Brenner “original” was really the American version of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai. Antoine Fuqua directs. Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke co-star. (PG-13) 132 minutes.

DEEPWATER HORIZON In 2010, an ultra-deepwater, dynamically positioned, semi-submersible offshore oil drilling rig weighing 52,590 tons exploded. Before it created the worst oil spill in history, the people on the rig had to fight for their lives to get off of it. Peter Berg directs. Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, Douglas M. Griffin co-star. (PG-13) 107 minutes.

MASTERMINDS Believe it or not, the luscious, blow-dried Kenny Loggins mane that Jason Sudeikis sports in this film is based on a true story. The 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery in which the vault supervisor, his girlfriend and six other conspirators stole $17.3 million dollars in cash, to be exact. Jared Hess directs. Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon co-star. (PG13) 94 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK stores, so there will be no job loss for anyone,” he says. Sinath’s operation in the 19th-century Octagon site was notoriously popular with flaneurs, academics and politicos—plus those who simply liked to unfold their laptops and stay all morning. Surely that can’t be exactly great for the bottom line. “The museum wants that building way more than we do,” Sinath tells me. “It’s hard to work with, with no windows and no ventilation.” Expect the unexpected from this business savant, who cops to having new projects and “perhaps a new operation or two” in the works. “I want to thank Mark Primack for designing out the Octagon and staying so faithful to the design values of the building, while giving us a stunning space to work in, and to Bill Schultz for his incredible attention to detail in the buildout,” Sinath says. Nonetheless, it leaves a decaffeinated hole in the heart of so many of us who somehow loved Lulu’s Octagon and its particular vibe.

What is for Dinner A Food Lounge benefit for FoodWhat?! that you won’t want to miss, plus the Octagon closes BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ome events are cooler than others. Some events have more moving parts than others. For example, an event that benefits young growers of the FoodWhat?! Farm, in which a new wine from award-winning winemaker Nicole Walsh will be released. And, oh yeah, the wine, from Walsh’s Ser Winery, is a 2014 Ventana Surfboard Syrah, made from organic grapes from Coastview Vineyards. Yes, Ventana Surfboards & Supplies will be there with a booth showcasing Surfboard

Syrah gift packages, plus eco-friendly surfboards and rad apparel. Not enough for you? Well the reception is also a show of photographs taken by David Dennis of the young growers of FoodWhat?! Farm. This sounds like a win, win, win event. It all happens at the Food Lounge, from 5-10 p.m. on First Friday, Nov. 4. Admission is free and there will be lots of flavors, visuals, and beautiful people on hand to make this an action-packed evening. Santa Cruz Food Lounge is located at 1001 Center St. in downtown Santa Cruz.

OCTAGON SANS LULU’S The elegant alliance of caffeine and history dreamed up by the fertile mind of entrepreneur Manthri Sinath— Lulu’s at the Octagon—will exist in memory only by the time you read this. “We’re going to continue growing our full-service cafe up the street on Pacific Avenue,” Sinath reassures fans who have grown addicted, uh, devoted to Lulu’s superior roasts and blends. “Happily, all of our Octagon crew will be relocated to our other

Yes, it’s true that the new cocktail scene at Soif is humming right along. We’ve already begun our intensive fieldwork, sampling from the long list of gin drinks and the wall of amaros. The “French Lavender” is effortless to enjoy, and for devotées of bitters there’s the crimson-hued “Sacred Heart”—roughly equal parts Campari, Venus gin and Fernet Branca. The apps have never been better, as exemplified by a recent plate of beautiful lateharvest plums, heirloom tomatoes and black olives on buttery radicchio. Also, one of the boite’s prime movers, wine buyer John Locke has plans to join his winemaking partner Alex Krause in opening the first Birichino label tasting room just down the block from the popular wine bar/ restaurant. Locke revealed that the partners are working architect John McKelvey, “as well as les dames de Stripe. Should be cool.” But as to when, Locke admits, “only the Gods and the City of Santa Cruz know. And neither seems willing to talk at the moment.” He hopes to have the new Birichino tasting room open by Dec. 1. Stay thirsty, my friends.

Earthbelly

Organic, non-GMO food for the rest of us BY AARON CARNES

Original Microbrewery Tour

here are no white tablecloths at Earthbelly, and no special dress codes—and that’s exactly the point. The restaurant serves food that is 100-percent organic and nonGMO-based—a luxury more common at high-end restaurants. But the cuisine is casual enough to grab and go, or sit down and have a cozy meal with friends after a day at the beach. The point that co-owner Tammy Ogletree insists on is that even when you order a slice of pizza or grab a burger, there’s no reason to fill your body with chemicals. Ogletree opened the restaurant a couple months back with husband Chad Greer and general manager Sarah Davis. She tells us exactly what makes Earthbelly tick.

We feel that people of all incomes should be able to have access to clean, unprocessed food. It’s very sad and disheartening to see what’s happened to food production in this world. There’s no relationship left with the people and the Earth and what they’re putting in their bodies. My husband and I have been in fine dining for a long time. These people have a lot of money, and they can afford to have

whatever they want—the 1 percent. We’re not a health food restaurant at all. We’re not vegan, we’re not vegetarian, we’re not gluten-free. We have something for everybody. We have a pretty wide, varied menu. Our main priority is to serve 100-percent non-GMO and organic food for the 99 percent.

What’s the scope of your menu? A lot of what Earthbelly is doing is convenient-style food—not sitting down, having a swanky dinner and several courses. It’s about being on the go, and we have a busy lifestyle. That doesn’t mean you have to bite the bullet and eat McDonald’s, or put something in your body that’s not necessarily good for it or the Earth. The menu was designed with salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas—these are things that we can get out, and you can have on your table in 5-10 minutes. Our fish sandwich is a huge seller. It’s made with local cod. We have this monster BLT that we just can’t cook enough bacon for. Our BLT is made with organic bacon—nonGMO of course. 381 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 621-2248, eatearthbelly.com.

Spanish Dream In Jeff Emery’s hands, Grenache Blanc makes for interesting varietal BY JOSIE COWDEN

ou can’t go wrong with anything made by Jeff Emery. This talented local winemaker can make wine blindfolded! Never content with producing run-of-the-mill wines, he turns out the most delectable and interesting varietals, including those made under his Quinta Cruz label, which includes Tempranillo, Touriga, Graciano, and Rabelo. At Gourmet Grazing on the Green in September I tasted Emery’s beautiful Grenache Blanc 2014 (about $19), made under his regular Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard label, a refreshing elixir on what was a scorching hot day. Grapes are sourced from Clay Station Vineyard, Borden Ranch, and Emery turns them into a delicious unoaked, dry, crisp, aromatic wine. “Grenache Blanc originated in Spain as a mutation of Grenache (a red grape),” Emery says on his label. “Though it is often blended with other white varieties, it also makes a very interesting wine on its own.” It has flavors of peach, mandarin orange, and tropical fruits wrapped around a honeyed richness that fills the mouth. Emery says it can be enjoyed with a wide range of food or alone as an apéritif.

Emery’s wines can be found all over, including at New Leaf and other local markets. Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard and Quinta Cruz, 334-A Ingalls St., Santa Cruz. 426-6209, santaccruzmountainvineyard.com.

CABERNET TASTING If you love a good Cab, you will want to attend this exclusive tasting of Cabernet Sauvignon at the Toll House in Los Gatos, where Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard and many others will be pouring. Enjoy small bites and a silent Cabernet wine auction. 3-6 p.m. on Nov. 12. Tickets are $65. Visit scmwa for more info.

TOAST TO THE TOWN At the beginning of October, I attended the Palo Alto Medical Foundation’s Toast to the Town fundraiser to benefit cancer care at Santa Cruz’s Hotel Paradox. I always enjoy dinner at the Paradox’s Solaire Restaurant, and I particularly loved the hors d’oeuvres of stuffed mushrooms, sweet red peppers with goat cheese, and some outstanding crab cakes. Pete Martinez is the Paradox’s interim executive chef—and kudos to him for good presentation and food with flavor.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES THE CANDIDATES AND THE ELECTION: A TEST

As we come to the end of Libra and enter Scorpio, we move close to the time when, this election year, we are asked to make a final choice. Libra is the sign of observing (with poise, intelligence and a kind heart) two sides of one reality (the candidates), in order that we may discern the truth. In less than three weeks, in Scorpio (always offering us a mystery to solve), we will cast a final vote for the president of the United States. The entire world is watching. The two candidates offer us a deep challenge in terms of perception of the truth. The election isn’t really about the two candidates (Trump and Clinton). They represent something far greater. They represent, very subtly, a major test for the people of the United States. The test is this: Can we develop enough discernment and discrimination that we are able to see which candidate would be

best for the people of the United States, the world, and which candidate will further the spiritual tasks of the U.S.? We are challenged to discern which one speaks the truth, and comes from the heart of the matter. This election is our test. The candidates are simply “on the world stage, playing their part” very well indeed. Mercury is in Libra and Uranus is in Aries. Libra says, “Let choice be made.” Our Soul says, “I stand (poised and observing) between two great lines of force.” Uranus says, “Bring forth all things new.” Our tests. Let us stand poised, non-reactive, with nonjudgment. Let us align with the Will-to-Good. Libra tells us aligning with the Will-to-Good gives us Right Balance and Right Choice. (Continued next week).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A potent time of change is occurring. Strong desires and powerful emotions can act like ocean swells almost overcoming your ability to think. Alternately, they offer you courage to go where others, even angels, can’t. Tend to finances and resources held with another. Something’s expanding. Hopefully your relationships. Don’t be ruthless and don’t seek to conquer. Work with.

You enjoy making, having and using money. Money is a resource, a way to help others. It provides freedom and choice. It can be used to create more wealth. We are given the gift of money and resources so we can help others. Money helps rebuild the lives of humanity in need. Tithe 10 percent of your income to charity. Tithing ensures a constant flow of return. In between it’s good to be frivolous (a bit).

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You ponder upon your relationship in terms of love, sacrifice and usefulness. You encourage others to work and cooperate with you. Careful with your energy in relationships. You could create a separation through unaware tendencies, anger and harsh communication. On the other hand, there is great ability to compromise if you begin a deep listening of other’s needs. Learn the art of negotiation and cooperation.

You find that stamina and endurance grow stronger each day, encountering and meeting unusual challenges along your path. As you pursue more independence, seeking liberty and freedom, your self-identity expands. Careful not to bump your head. Careful of fire. For fun, naturaldye your hair red, orange or violet. Complete all projects. Plan your next ones. Your intuition reaches out to others.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 19, 2016

GEMINI May 22–June 20 You become a creative and strong worker with desires and emotions pushing you toward a goal. It’s important to practice extreme care and safety, especially while doing any physical labor, lest accidents, burns, cuts, things red and scratchy occur. Be kind to co-workers. A lot of fire trucks, police and emergency vehicles pass you by. Things filled with love, too. A bit like you’ve become. Interesting.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 The themes seem to continue—communication with family, parents, tending to home, property, traditions. Something seeks balancing concerning your perception of family and/or parents and making peace with daily life. The old anger doesn’t hold us anymore. It actually weakens the body. The starry energies are helping to beautify, repair and organize the environments you live and work in. Prepare your home for an unusual future.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You’re contemplating events in the past. Considering previous partnerships, lovers, friends. Careful not to intimidate yourself with critical thoughts. Gathering information should be very easy now. Allow a natural rhythm to occur with daily life, work, arrangements and plans. Write Halloween (then Thanksgiving) cards by hand, using pen, ink, envelopes, stamps, and a secret seal. This is a meditation.

Your strength is hidden and veiled for a while. Only you are aware of it. Next to your strength are desires. They’re secret, too. Sometimes you don’t know your motivation for choosing something. Sometimes you feel you’re in a conspiracy. Your past comes to brood over you. You wonder if you have enemies. To overcome this seeming strangeness, enter into a new creative endeavor. Know that you’re just in a state of completing karma.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You have hopes, wishes and dreams and want to express yourself socially with friends and associates. You want to be part of a group that recognizes your gifts, and doesn’t think you’re scandalous when you make some outrageous artistic move. You’re strong, at times revolutionary. Don’t change. Review goals. Create a manifestation journal. Write daily wants and needs, creative plans, and how you see yourself in the future. I see a book.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Now Open for Lunch! Fri. Sat. Sun. 12-3pm

You’re to become an adventurer, traveler, and philosopher. Justice becomes a focus. You see where humanity is caught in duality, judgment and despair. Aquarius is the sign of humanity. You worry, sensitive to humanity’s needs. You wonder where you stand. An excellent question. You benefit by traveling, undergoing change, moving about here and there. Gradually, you become a world server.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 A regeneration needs to occur, allowing a new sense of self-confidence to come forth. You sometimes question being on your own, wondering if you have real needs, hopes, wishes, desires, dreams. Your needs are very important. Pisces often serves others before serving themselves. You must now turn your energies inward and seek your own counsel, reliability, safety and trust. Entrusting yourself to your own self. The past presents itself. Then disappears.

You need some pleasure, love and romance, or on the other hand, sports, competitive and disciplined. However, most likely you focus on thinking about home and children, showering them with nurturing gifts. In turn they may not act as you would expect. Their energies are high, almost uncontrollable. This will pass. However, you must watch over them carefully. Allow yourself to be foolhardy at times.

SARAH MCKNIGHT-CAHIR, 23-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Marriage/family therapist Hobbies: Joyful parenting, the ocean, gratitude advocate, cooking, yoga, life-long learning Astrological Sign: Libra NEIL CAHIR, 12-Year Customer Santa Cruz Occupation: Firefighter/paramedic, Scotts Valley Fire District Hobbies: Hiking, biking, surfing, ocean/beach/sun, fun travels, barbecuing/cooking (firehouse cook) Astrological Sign: Sagittarius What do you folks like to cook? SARAH: “Before I forget I have to say I really enjoy walking on Shopper’s wooden floors — love the creaking! Cooking-wise I usually do the salad and vegetables. Neil is the meat guy on the barbecue while I’m the ’oven’ person. We cook a variety of foods.” NEIL: “We like to mix it up; it could Mexican such as enchiladas, Asian stir-fries, Italian, plus California-continental.” SARAH: “We like fresh meats so we shop here almost daily whether it’s for sausages, bone-in chicken or marinated chicken…” NEIL: “The tri-tip and skirt steaks are phenomenal All the seafood is fresh, with lots of local-caught fish.” SARAH: “And the butchers really take care of us.”

How so? SARAH: “If we need something special, they’ll take care if it, plus they’ll share preparation tips. The guys know our son, Gus, by name and we have real, meaningful conversations.” NEIL: “I feel like I’m walking into the history of Santa Cruz when I stop in, and that I’m a part of Shopper’s continual evolvement. That feels beautiful and enriching.” SARAH: “We are so lucky because of Shopper’s storewide quality and the pricing, which is less than other local stores. And everyone seems so happy with the job they’re doing. It feels like we’re all working for the betterment of the community.” NEIL: “I like that my money stays local, and that Shopper’s provides a unique, personal touch.”

In what way? NEIL: “With longevity comes their own model to follow such as hiring local people who help foster relationships in the neighborhood and countywide.” SARAH: “This is one-stop shopping from gourmet to your everyday items. I’m branching out to Indian and vegan cuisines and more; they have everything I need, including a great spice department.” NEIL: “We appreciate the versatility. When looking for a wine to pair, they’ll suggest a range — from lower to high-end. It’s their competitive pricing and quality that keeps us coming back, like with their great produce, great meats, and everything in between, and we’re keeping it local.” SARAH: “It’s the best market in Santa Cruz!”

“I feel like I’m walking into the history of Santa Cruz when I stop in, and that I’m a part of Shopper’s continual evolvement. That feels beautiful and enriching.”
