OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I love Santa Cruz’s supernatural lore, and over the years at Metro Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz Weekly and even earlier incarnations of Good Times, I’ve written or published cover stories on “the curse of Santa Cruz,” the local Alfred Hitchcock connection and the supposed hauntings of places like Sunshine Villa. While I’m personally not a believer in most of the paranormal elements that come with these stories, I continue to be totally hooked on them. Every place needs its legends, and

CARRYING ON A VISION

Santa Cruz for Bernie is a democratically run organization with 2,000 members whose volunteer energy over the past year achieved a victory for Bernie Sanders in Santa Cruz County in the June primary election. If anyone can claim to be carrying on Bernie’s political vision here, we can. Now we’ve moved on to down-ballot elections as Bernie asked us to do. The current leadership of our group was elected by nearly unanimous acclamation at our August meeting attended by 250 members. Our group subsequently endorsed Drew Glover, Sandy Brown, Chris Krohn and Steve Schnaar as the Santa Cruz City Council candidates who we believe will best further the people-centered politics that Bernie advocated. I point out these facts to dispel the suggestion in Linda Proctor’s letter of Oct. 12 that a small group of activists has hijacked our organization’s democratic process and mission. We apologize for our communication error in failing to notify Ms. Proctor that we considered her a member based on her activism for Bernie, and we would have welcomed her participation in our deliberations. JEFFREY SMEDBERG | FOUNDER, SANTA CRUZ FOR BERNIE, SANTA CRUZ

we have some great ones. Back then, though, even a lot of locals weren’t that familiar with these tales. In fact, the first time we ran a cover story on the curse of Santa Cruz at Metro Santa Cruz, some people actually thought we had made it up. That’s the interesting new wrinkle in Lily Stoicheff’s cover story this week: Santa Cruz spookiness has gone mainstream. I never thought there would be a tour you could take of local haunted spots, although now of course I can’t wait to take it. And we have our own local team of ghost hunters? We are really coming up in the world of paranormal chic. Deservedly so, as far as I’m concerned. Happy Halloween! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

PHOTO CONTEST

NO SANDERS PLATFORM FOR SANTA CRUZ There is no “Sanders platform” (GT, 10/6). Bernie has not endorsed any candidate in the Santa Cruz City Council election. A small group of the senator’s supporters control the local email list that was formed for the primary election, and this faction continues to imply that Bernie is behind the Krohn slate. Such deception dishonors Bernie by falsely implying his support. I voted for Bernie in the primary, as did most of my friends. For city council, I strongly support J.M. Brown, Cynthia Mathews, Robert Singleton and Martine Watkins, who will ensure the wellbeing of all our neighborhoods. MICHAEL FREINBERG | ACME BUILDING CONSULTANTS, SANTA CRUZ

MEASURE D AND CLIMATE CHANGE Measure D, the transportation tax, has been falsely represented as helping to greatly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Transportation accounts for half of the county’s GHG emissions. The Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Plan, of which Measure D is a part, achieves only a pathetic 3 percent decrease from 2005 GHG levels by 2035. On Sept. 8, Governor Brown signed into law SB32, which requires the state to

We’re told it’s our civic duty to vote, but who’s willing to step up and make that easy for the poor or disabled? This year, Community Bridges will offer free door-to-door transportation for all community members to their polling place, courtesy of its Lift Line program. Four years ago, 54 percent of eligible voters cast their ballot, even though 84 percent were registered. People can also still sign up to vote by mail. For more information, visit votescount.com. To schedule with Lift Line, call 831-688-9663.

The California Coastal Commission told the Mavericks surf competition that it wouldn’t get a permit this year if it didn’t open its doors to women for the first time ever. Last week, Cartel Management announced a women’s heat. “It’s quite simply the right time,” an organizer told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. “There was no compelling driver other than it was the time to do it.” Uh, and the fact that the commission made you?

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 26 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I invite you to fantasize about what your four great-grandmothers and four great-grandfathers may have been doing on Nov. 1, 1930. What? You have no idea how to begin? You don’t even know their names? If that’s the case, I hope you’ll remedy your ignorance. Your ability to create the future you want requires you to learn more about where and whom you came from. Halloween costume suggestion: your most interesting ancestor.

It’s the prosperity-building phase of your cycle. Let’s celebrate! Let’s brainstorm! Are there rituals you can create to stimulate the financial lobes of your imagination, thereby expediting your cash flow? Here are a few ideas: 1. Glue a photo of yourself on a $20 bill. 2. Make a wealth shrine in your home. Stock it with symbols of specific thrills you can buy for yourself when you have more money. 3. Halloween costume suggestions: a giant bar of gold, a banker carrying a briefcase full of big bills, Tony Stark, Lady Mary Crawley, Jay Gatsby, Lara Croft, the Yoruban wealth goddess Ajé.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 At any one time, over two million frozen human embryos are stored in tissue banks throughout Europe and North America. When the time is right, their owners retrieve them and bring them to term. That’s the first scenario I invite you to use as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks. Here’s a second scenario: Scotch whiskey is a potent mind-altering substance. Any particular batch must mature for at least three years, and may be distilled numerous times. There are currently 20 million barrels of the stuff mellowing in Scottish warehouses. And what do these two scenarios have to do with you? It’s time to tap into resources that you’ve been saving in reserve—that haven’t been ripe or ready until now. Halloween costume suggestions: a woman who’s nine months pregnant; a blooming rose or sunflower; ripe fruit.

GEMINI May21–June20 To create a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, a winemaker needs about 700 grapes. Compare this process with rain-making. When water vapor that’s high in the sky becomes dense enough, it condenses into tiny pearls of liquid called cloud droplets. If the humidity rises even further, a million of these babies might band together to form a single raindrop that falls to Earth. And what does this have to do with your life? I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have both an affinity and a skill for processes that resemble wine-making and rain-making. You’ll need a lot of raw material and energetic effort to produce a relatively small marvel—but that’s exactly as it should be. Halloween costume suggestion: a raindrop or bottle of wine.

Trust Lloyd’s for Dealer Quality at a Far Better Price

Some Brazilians eat the heads of piranhas in the belief they’re aphrodisiacs. In Zimbabwe, women may make strategic use of baboon urine to enhance their allure. The scientific name for Columbia’s leaf-cutter ant is hormiga culona, translated as “fat-assed ant.” Ingesting the roasted bodies of these critters is thought to boost sexual desire. Since you’re in a phase when tapping into your deepest erotic longings will be healthy and educational, you may want to adopt elements of the aforementioned love drugs to create your Halloween costume. Here are other exotic aphrodisiacs from around the world that you might be inspired by: asparagus, green M&Ms, raw oysters, wild orchids, horny goat weed.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Do you know how to repair a broken zipper or patch a hole in your bicycle tire? Are you familiar with the art of caulking a bathtub or creating a successful budget? Can you compose a graceful thank-you note, cook a hearty soup from scratch, or overcome your pride so as to reconcile with an ally after an argument? These are the kinds of tasks I trust you will focus on in the coming weeks. It’s time to be very practical and concrete. Halloween costume suggestion: Mr. or Ms. Fix-It.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In the film Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger played a benevolent android who traveled here from the future. As a strong, silent action hero, he didn’t need to say much. In fact, he earned $30,000 for every word he uttered. I’m hoping your speech will pack a comparable punch in the coming days. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your persuasiveness should be at a peak. You’ll have an exceptional ability to say what you mean and mean what you say. Use this superpower with flair and precision! Halloween costume suggestion: ancient Greek orator Demosthenes; Martin Luther King Jr.; Virginia Woolf; Sojourner Truth; rapper MC Lyte, Winston Churchill.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 During this Halloween season, you have cosmic permission to be a bigger, bolder, and extra beguiling version of yourself. I trust you will express your deep beauty with precise brilliance and imagine your future with superb panache and wander wherever the hell you feel like wandering. It’s time to be stronger than your fears and wilder than your trivial sins. Halloween costume suggestion: the superhero version of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I won’t offer you the cliché “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Instead, I’ll provide alternatives. How about this, from the video game Portal: “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! Say, ‘I don’t want your damn lemons!’” Or you could try this version, from my friend Barney: “When life gives you lemons, draw faces on them like Tom Hanks did on his volleyball in the movie Cast Away, and engage them in sexy philosophical conversation.” Or consider this Brazilian proverb: “When life gives you lemons, make caipirinhas.” (Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail.) Suggestion: Play around with these themes to create your Halloween costume.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 All of us are creators and destroyers. It’s fun and healthy to add fresh elements to our lives, but it’s also crucial to dispose of things that hurt and distort us. Even your body is a hotbed of both activities, constantly killing off old cells and generating new ones. But in my understanding, you are now in a phase when there’s far more creation than destruction. Enjoy the exalted buzz! Halloween costume suggestions: a creator god or goddess, like the Greeks’ Gaia or Prometheus; RainbowSnake from the Australian Aborigines; Unkulunkulu from the Zulus; or Coyote, Raven, or Spider Grandmother from indigenous North American tribes.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1938, a chef named Ruth Wakefield dreamed up a brilliant invention: chocolate chip cookies. She sold her recipe to the Nestlé company in return for one dollar and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Maybe she was happy with that arrangement, but I think she cheated herself. And so I offer her action as an example of what you should NOT do. During the next ten months, I expect you will come up with many useful innovations and intriguing departures from the way things have always been done. Make sure you get full value in return for your gifts! Halloween costume ideas: Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Leonardo da Vinci, Temple Grandin, George Washington Carver, Mark Zuckerberg.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Speaking on behalf of the cosmic powers, I authorize you to escape dull realities and go rambling through the frontier. Feel free to fantasize twice as hard and wild as you normally do. Avoid literalists and realists who think you should be more like them. This is not a time to fuss over exacting details, but rather to soar above the sober nonsense and see as far as you can. You have permission to exult in the joys of wise innocence. Halloween costume suggestions: bohemian poet, mad scientist, carefree genius, brazen explorer.

Homework: Scare yourself with your exquisite beauty. Freak yourself out by realizing how amazing you are. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

WELLNESS

PAPER OR PLASTIC? In a world where digital reading has never been easier, a steady majority of American readers prefer paper.

Spine Tingler

’ll never walk through Logos, or any used bookstore or library in the world, without greedily filling my nostrils with the smell of old books—musty and slightly acrid, organic material and glue breaking down in the more acidic pages of the past. It’s a scent that holds fingerprints and dust mites and the graphite underlines of conscious beings no longer with us. “People have tried to bottle the smell of old books, but it’s the most elusive thing, like trying to recreate a great story. You can’t,” Sarah Jessica Parker told the New York Times Style magazine last week, in an article that details her new position as editorial director at Hogarth—which is partnering with

the American Library Association “to get more books, not just Hogarth books, into more hands.” When the e-book market skyrocketed around 2008, many saw it as a knife wound in the femoral artery of the book as we knew it—a startling development for anybody who’s come to live by John Waters’ rule, “If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.” A study released last month by the Pew Institute found that of the 73 percent of Americans who say they’ve read a book in the past 12 months, 65 percent read on paper. That’s more than twice the number (28 percent) who said they’ve read an e-book—a number that has plateaued since 2014. (Audiobooks

clocked in at 14 percent of books “read” last year.) But the survival of old-fashioned reading surely has less to do with celebrity promotion or steamy subway scenes posted on instagram accounts like @hotdudesreading than it has to do with our brains. Since the 1980s, the fields of psychology, computer engineering, and library and information science have conducted more than 100 studies into screen versus print reading. Before 1992, most of these studies reported that people read slower, less accurately and less comprehensively on screens than on paper, according to Scientific American. After 1992, studies have produced inconsistent results, with

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016

What does the survival of printed books say about our brains? BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

a slight majority confirming deeper reading on print. On screens, humans tend to employ what neuroscience calls “nonlinear reading,” where the eyes skim and dart around the page. Add in the web’s casino-effect vortex of distractions, and the net result is an experience that doesn’t always lend itself to deep reading. “I always print a document before reading it,” says my sister, who reads “constantly” for her job as an attorney. “I can concentrate.” Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University, says that to keep the deep-reading part of the brain alive and well, we should make time to practice the “deeper, slow reading” associated with books on paper, and that parents and teachers should make sure that children are encouraged to do the same. Of course, reading on smartphones and computer screens is a known cause of Computer Vision Syndrome, which affects—with headache, fatigue, blurred vision and neck pain—90 percent of people who spend three hours or more a day at a computer, according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. In terms of eye strain, reading e-ink is a lot like reading on paper, according to a 2013 study. So why are people still embracing primitive tree pulp and ink when the e-book is healthy on the eyes and much lighter to tote around than 50 books? Like many book consumers, I appreciate the tactile physicality of a book; making pencil notes in the margins, and knowing where I am in the journey of imagination. “The implicit feel of where you are in a physical book turns out to be more important than we realized,” says Abigail Sellen of Microsoft Research Cambridge in England in Scientific American. “Only when you get an e-book do you start to miss it.” There’s another benefit to books and magazines: We lend them to friends, who don’t have to click a link or fire up their kindle to get to it. When my sister finished reading about Sarah Jessica Parker, she left the New York Times magazine on the train for someone else to read—something we can’t do with smartphones or e-readers. At least for now.

NEWS COMMANDING ATTENTION Holistic Veterans hosts second annual Community Healing Project

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY MAT WEIR

Oftentimes veterans in our society go unnoticed or forgotten, even as some of them beg for change on the street corner. With 21.8 million vets as of 2014, the group makes up 6.8 percent of the country’s population. “We are a large demographic in this country,” Paul Damon says. Damon, a Navy veteran originally from Texas, is the co-founder of Holistic Veterans, a local nonprofit rehabilitating vets as it helps them reconnect with themselves and their community through natural medicine and holistic practices like yoga. This year, Holistic Veterans celebrates its second annual Community Healing Project from 5 to 9 p.m. on Veteran’s Day, Friday, Nov. 11. The event is moving from the downtown Veteran’s Hall, which hosted last year’s event, to the more spacious Museum of Art & History. With various experts in Eastern medicine, the symposium shares a message with veterans—as well as the greater community—that healing can mean improving one’s life in ways that go beyond just Western medicine. “The idea came about when a lot of veterans began asking me what ‘holistic’ is or even means,” Damon says. “So, I began to call around to various practitioners I knew and got a list of people who would be willing to give the veterans a test drive.” In the last year and a half, Holistic Veterans, which received nonprofit status in January, has hosted educational workshops on everything from proper nutrition and cooking classes to how to make tinctures. Next year, leaders plan on introducing new courses on survival skills, archery and more. The group will also host a wellness clinic on Nov. 7 at Cabrillo, as part of Veterans Awareness Week. The clinic will focus on serving veteran students and staff by educating them about what Holistic Veterans offers. The organization is also working on a collaboration with God’s Gardens, a group based out of Twin Lakes Church that built a hydroponic garden for the congregation. Damon’s idea is for veterans to build and tend more gardens in churches and vets halls throughout the county. >16

Measure for Measure Breaking down more than a dozen of the measures headed for county ballots BY JACOB PIERCE

hether because of pure serendipity or just the rapidly changing funding landscape, this is a big year for local ballot measures. Seventeen have headed to voters. Presidential years often make for longer ballots due to the promise of higher turnout. But this year’s total measures amount to more than the number of races in the last three major November elections combined. Not all of the races are particularly sexy, and

some of them get deeper into the nitty-gritty details than others. Only one of them is countywide, and the rest cover regional areas. Here’s a look at this year’s most important measures:

MEASURE A SANTA CRUZ UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT This measure promises to modernize school science labs, build more permanent classrooms and improve safety, while fixing deteriorated roofs

and old infrastructure in Santa Cruz Unified’s secondary schools. To pay off a $140 million bond, taxpayers would be chipping in $29.50 per $100,000 of assessed value on their property tax bill. According to the district’s facility master plan, between $28 million and $33 million would go to each of the three high schools—Santa Cruz High, Harbor High and Soquel High.

NEWS COUNTY MEASURES <12 MEASURE B SANTA CRUZ UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT The little brother to Measure A, this bond measure aims to raise $68 million to repair the district’s elementary schools, and is promising similar improvements. Like any other school bond vote, Measure B—which has gotten wide-ranging support—needs 55 percent voter approval to pass. Each measure would establish a citizen oversight committee, two annual audits, and a report to the school board each year on any unspent funds. Public schools have increasingly relied upon locally funded budget solutions as California officials repeatedly chip away at education dollars. Like most local measures this year, Measure B has gotten no formal opposition, although a letter to the Santa Cruz Sentinel last month did bemoan the increased tax burden for property owners.

MEASURE C

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

SOQUEL UNION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

102 Walnut Ave. at Pacific Downtown Santa Cruz 831.458.9950 | stephansjewelry.com Open Tue-Sat. 10-5:30, Sun 11-5

With repairs needed for Soquel Union Elementary, Measure C aims to raise $42 million. It has the backing of Santa Cruz County Schools Superintendent Michael Watkins, Vice Mayor Stephanie Harlan, former Capitola Former Mayor Sam Storey and Sheriff Jim Hart. The district, which stretches from Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary to New Brighton Elementary, plans to improve leaky roofs, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. It also aims to install solar panels, build more classrooms and get up to date on safety and disability requirements with the new dough.

MEASURE D COUNTYWIDE— TRANSPORTATION This transportation measure—both the most endorsed and most hotly contested local measure in recent history—has shaped into the year’s biggest race, with strong feelings on both sides. The last time the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC)

put a measure with highway improvements on the ballot was 12 years ago, and it garnered just 43 percent support. That’s more than 20 percent shy of the two-thirds vote it needed to pass. Measure D is different, though, supporters boast, with former highway widening opponents like Santa Cruz City Councilmember Don Lane and John Leopold showing enthusiasm—as well as environmental groups like Ecology Action, the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County and Bike Santa Cruz County. And the new measure is cheaper and more balanced—30 percent of the revenue would go to local road repair and 25 percent to highway merge lanes. The rest is slated for the coastal rail trail, transit for seniors and disabled people and railroad maintenance and analysis. Activist Rick Longinotti says he wanted to see the highway taken out of the measure altogether, arguing that a close look at CalTrans’ environmental documents doesn’t prove the changes would reduce traffic. “The notion that this is doing something for people stuck in traffic is completely without basis,” says Longinotti, a leader in the Widening Won’t Work campaign to prevent Measure D from getting two-thirds approval. He notes that a recent poll found that voters strongly support reducing congestion, but not so much widening the highway. The half-cent sales tax would replace a quarter-cent sales tax, amounting to a quarter-cent sales tax increase. “It’s frustrating for me to see the campaign against the measure pretend like 80 percent of the funding for all these other important things doesn’t matter,” says Lane, who also serves as RTC chair. “They’re so obsessed with the 25 percent going to the highway that they don’t see the other part.”

MEASURE E SANTA CRUZ COUNTY— CANNABIS After Santa Cruz County voters approved a sales tax for dispensaries two years ago with 78 percent of voters in support, changes in state law have affected the industry regulators’

semantics. To cover the county’s bases, Measure E would clarify and amend definitions for “cannabis,” “cannabis business,” and “medical marijuana business.” The lone opposition has come from longtime county critic Michael Boyd, who didn’t like the original sales tax measure and worries that it prevents people from getting medicine. Supporters note that there are still resources for people to receive low-cost medication.

MEASURE I CITY OF SANTA CRUZ— CANNABIS Like Measure E, this measure clarifies the wording of previous voterapproved cannabis legislation, but for the city of Santa Cruz. Medical marijuana activist Boyd, who filed a lawsuit against the city and county about the 2014 tax measure, has asked voters to consider a “no” vote because he says the measure amounts to “discrimination” against the poor.

MEASURE J WATSONVILLE—TOT With transient occupancy taxes (TOT) in Santa Cruz and the county at 11 percent, city leaders in Watsonville don’t want to miss a piece of the pie. In Watsonville, TOT is currently 11 percent. A 1 percent increase in taxes paid by tourists may seem like a slam dunk, which probably explains why the measure did not garner an opposition statement—or even one of support, for that matter. It’s worth noting, though, that Capitola voters shot down a nearly identical measure two years ago, either because they didn’t think it was necessary or because the measure wasn’t clear enough about where the money would go. According to impartial analysis on Measure J from Watsonville Administrative Services Director Ezequiel Vega, the tax would continue funding “services such as public safety.”

MEASURE L WATSONVILLE—CANNABIS Watsonville does not have its own cannabis tax, and

STRONGER TOGETHER From left, Jacob Kramer, Craig Lane, Paul Damon, Philip Mirkin and Jason Helliwell have been working to grow the Holistic Veterans mission of healing. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

HOLISTIC VETERANS <12 “Providing this kind of healing is my duty and service to my brothers and sisters,” Damon says. “My vow of service didn’t go away when I left the military, so we have a lot of cool stuff [Holistic Veterans] is about to get into.” One of those projects is a partnership with a Santa Cruz company called Hybrid Adobe. Founded by local Philip Mirkin to create sustainable housing for homeless mothers and veterans, Hybrid Adobe crafts lightweight but durable adobe out of inexpensive materials. The substance can then be poured into molds, and fitted with solar panels and windows to form walls. Holistic Veterans has already hosted one house-building workshop and will host a second one on Oct. 29 and 30. “We went to the county for the regulations on non-permitted housing and shaped the

buildings around the law,” explains Damon. The group hosts the workshops for veterans and civilians at the 30-acre Nature Education Service and Technology (NEST) retreat in Felton. Holistic Veterans hopes to start building more structures and ship throughout the county and greater nation. “Housing is the base of your pyramid,” says Head Practitioner Melissa Manning-Collins, who helps organize workshops and events. “If you don’t have that, everything else crumbles. People have to have their basic needs met.” The NEST will also be home to Holistic Veterans’ 14-day Lifestyle Resurrection and Woodland Immersion Program, where they will take a group of vets from around the county for an exercise in physical and spiritual healing through a commitment to serving others and giving back. “Two hours a day

will be to land stewardship, so we’re getting physical activity and reconnecting to the land,” Damon states. “We’re about leaving the land better than when we arrived.” Along the way, Holistic Veterans has also been working on a documentary Born to Heal, detailing the group’s mission and works and featuring staff volunteer practitioners and people they’ve helped. The trailer for Born to Heal will premiere at the Community Healing Project. “You can better serve the community if you have wellness in your own world,” Manning-Collins says. The Community Healing Project on Nov. 11 will feature more than 20 local holistic practitioners from herbalists to massage and yoga instructors along with food and booths from New Leaf, Vida Juices, the

Homeless Garden Project and more. There will even be an herbal drink bar, hosted by Damon’s friend Craig Lane at Health Alkemy, where Lane creates drinks based on the question, “What do you want to feel?” “Craig is a mad scientist when it comes to herbs,” says Damon. This year’s event features two healing sanctuaries—one for workshops and another for live, instrumental music that will be “silent,” where everyone keeps speaking to a minimum, allowing event goers to relax. “There will be sound healing, talking and chill time,” says Manning-Collins, “then silence.”

The Community Healing Project is from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at the Museum of Art & History at 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. The event is free, although donations are accepted.

Paranormal

Activities Santa Cruz’s supposed haunted spots have inspired books, ghost hunters and even a tour BY LILY STOICHEFF

CURSE OF SANTA CRUZ I’m definitely thinking about it as I enter New Bohemia Brewing Company dressed as a skeleton late one October afternoon. My friends are waiting at the bar with pints of Oktoberfest lager, also in Halloween costumes. One couple is dressed as a hot dog and a pint of beer. “No outside food or drink!” the bartender jokes with them as I sidle up to the bar.

BOO CRUZ

Brew Cruz owner and Halloween enthusiast Annie Pautsch (right) leads haunted tours of Santa Cruz County on her craft beer tour during the month of October.

aryanne Porter was just a child when she saw her first ghost in her home in Aptos. It came almost nightly, she says, a terrifying dark figure that her parents chalked up to a vivid imagination. The figure did not return after they moved to a new home, but she continues to have strange, unexplainable encounters. Except now she seeks them out, instead of hiding under the covers. Porter is the founder of the Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters, a local group that explores paranormal activity in Santa Cruz County. The group started in 2010, when she and a friend expressed a shared desire to find out if there was more to the afterlife and ghost stories. “We wanted to find out if it was real or if it was all BS,” says Porter, her voice lively and engaging. “The first time we experienced electronic voice phenomena, we were hooked.” In the early days, she and her co-founder would conduct hunts in the Boulder Creek Cemetery, which at the time had a reputation for being a popular site for Satanic rituals and witchcraft. They’d often find candles and pagan symbols. More than once, she saw what she describes as a “shadow person.” They were also able to record voices, or electronic voice phenomen, EVP. One recording was clear enough to determine that the voice was a Native American dialect, she says. “I had it analyzed by a person who spoke a Native American language, and they were able to confirm that it sounded like a Native American tongue, but they were unable to determine which one it was. We got other voices as well,” says Porter. “It was all pretty freaky.” In Porter’s new book Haunted Santa Cruz, California, she vividly retells the darker aspects of Santa Cruz history, and shares recorded experiences, including some of her own, at popular local haunted sites like the Brookdale Lodge and Sunshine Villa. When restoration of the Brookdale Lodge is complete, she plans to host paranormal tours and lead “mini-ghost hunts” in collaboration with the current owner. “It’s not my mission to convince people that ghosts are real,” she says. “But if there’s a chance that this isn’t all black and white, that there’s something more, and people have had experiences in their life that they question, then maybe we should reach out and think about it a little bit more.”

<21 Halloween is still a few weeks away but we’re kicking off the season by going on a Boo Cruz, the seasonal spinoff of the Brew Cruz craft beer tours of Santa Cruz County. In lieu of visiting local breweries, we’ll stop at different sites rumored to be haunted or where tragic or mysterious events have occurred. Our ride pulls up in front of the brewery, and more than one set of eyes turns to look. The door of the forest green wood-panelled 1989 Thomas International school bus swings open and Brew Cruz owner Annie Pautsch, dressed as Ms. Frizzle from the children’s TV show The Magic School Bus, steps down. She beams at the wigged heads and painted faces of my party as she enters. “Is everyone ready?” she asks. The inside has been decorated with spider webs and bat-shaped

lights, and the plush seating is covered with “blood” splattered blankets. We settle in and crack open a few beers. Oh yeah, did I mention that you can drink on the tour? Betty Jane, as the bus is familiarly known, roars to life with Ms. Frizzle at the wheel, and this magic school bus is off to the first stop: Opal Cliffs overlooking Capitola-by-the-Sea. Since Brew Cruz’s inception in 2014, Pautsch knew that she wanted to utilize the bus for different types of tours, while continuing to promote craft beer at the core. A lover of corn mazes, pumpkin carving and haunted houses, she couldn’t get the idea of a haunted tour of Santa Cruz out of her head. Inspired by the Banjo Billy historical tours in Boulder, Pautsch headed to the downtown Santa Cruz Public Library last fall to find information about haunted sites in Santa Cruz.

“I’d heard stories that Santa Cruz used to be called the ‘Murder Capital of the World,’ but I wanted to make sure that there were enough stops for a tour that I could reach with a bus,” she remembers. She found more than enough material. “I had no idea,” she says. Pautsch discovered that underneath the surface of this sunny beach town lies a dark history, beginning with the founding of the Spanish Mission here in the 1790s. After being converted to Christianity and moved to the Mission, the native population suffered severe abuse at the hands of the missionaries. The most vindictive was said to be Father Quintana, who enjoyed using a metal-tipped whip to punish the Indians under his care, including children. On the night of October 12, 1812, a group of Ohlone took matters into their own hands. Under the cover of darkness, they lured Father Quintana from his bed. Once he was out of earshot of anyone who might have come to his aid, they strangled him from behind with a rope and crushed his genitals to ensure that he would not father any demons in the spirit world. Then they returned him to his bed. Afterward, a local legend claims that the natives who performed the murder went to the banks of the San Lorenzo river to purify themselves. As they bathed their hands and faces in the flowing waters, they asked the Great Spirit to curse this land and its non-native dwellers as a penance for all of the pain and suffering bestowed on their people. As long as the San Lorenzo River made its way to the sea, so should the Curse of Santa Cruz afflict generations to come.

ODD JOBS Porter’s Ghost Hunters have explored many of the sites said to have become haunted in the hundreds of years since the Ohlone supposedly cursed this place—like the Cremer House in Felton, the Rispin Mansion, Mount Madonna, and many private residences. Residents reach out to them to see if they can confirm strange happenings in their homes, and perhaps lay troubled spirits to rest. Since 2010, the Ghost Hunters have expanded from two people to eight, all of whom have experienced paranormal activity of some kind, including a police officer and a woman who works at Evergreen Cemetery. Lest skeptics think these enthusiasts are jumping at the chance to chase down anything that goes bump in the night, Porter describes the extensive vetting process callers undergo before the Ghost Hunters commit to an investigation. First, they interview the client by phone or online to assure their credibility. Then, they’ll bring their sensitive equipment in during a “day walk” in order to determine if there’s any kind of electromagnetic field that’s contributing to the experience. “We try and rule out the obvious. The house could be shorting out and the lights could be flickering. People don’t understand that that’s just their house, not paranormal,” says Porter. If there’s still credible evidence, they’ll delve into the history of the site. Finally, they’ll do a night investigation—when it’s believed that spiritual activity is strongest. “We’re very particular on the

PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES places we investigate,” she says. When I ask her if she has a favorite haunted site, she doesn’t hesitate: the Tuttle Mansion in Watsonville, which she and her team have investigated at least 30 times. On multiple occasions, the Ghost Hunters have recorded voices and had all of their meters light up at the same time, Porters says. A psychic once claimed to be touched by a spirit, and they have video and photographic evidence of what they says are orbs, or balls or streaks of light caught on film that may reflect the energy of a deceased person. Of course, such abstractions can also be caused by dust or scratches on a lens, but she says her team takes multiple photographs to try and rule this out. I tell her that if I had encountered anything like what she says she has experienced, I would run for the hills. A bright, friendly laugh comes through the telephone. “Maybe because I’m into odd things, I have a tolerance. It doesn’t strike immediate fear. It’s not like how you see on the TV shows where people freak out. To me, it is what it is,” she says.

Holiday Deluxe $199

SUPERNATURAL EXPERIMENT I also went on the inaugural Boo Cruz in 2015, where Pautsch, dressed as Sandra Bullock’s character from the movie Speed, began by driving through UCSC. She stopped briefly at the base of campus where historic workers’ cabins, barns and other outbuildings from the Cowell Lime Works still stand, sunbleached and overlooked. She turned in her seat, and told us the tragic tale of Henry Cowell’s daughter Sarah, who was thrown from her buggy and killed in the late 1800s. Sarah’s spirit supposedly lingers in the Haunted Meadow, as it’s now called, along with the spirits of many who worked at her father’s lime kilns. “Limestone has a high electromagnetic charge,” she explained. “Many people believe that rocks like that can actually hold onto information from traumatic events in the form of energy, which can cause a residual haunting.” The

Santa Cruz Mountains, she notes, are riddled with limestone. Before we left the university, we stopped at a lookout spot on the east side of campus. From this vantage point, lights beamed steadily from the city below as twilight faded to a deep purple over Monterey Bay. The passengers fell quiet as Pautsch recounted tales of the grisly serial murders that occurred in Santa Cruz in the early 1970s, some of them involving UCSC co-eds, earning it the infamous nickname of Murder Capital of the World. As her story drew to an end, a passenger spoke up to share her own paranormal experience. We began passing around a glowing hatchet Halloween prop, lighting our faces campfire-style as we shared our own stories of unexplained phenomena we had witnessed or felt until we were all pleasantly shaken and a little bit thrilled. “It was all an experiment,” says Pautsch on that first tour. “I didn’t know if the passengers would be interested and engaged or if they just wanted to drink. Luckily, it was a bit of both. There was a heightened excitement. It was pure magic.” Other stops included Evergreen Cemetery, the historic Santa Cruz Mission, the Boardwalk, the Water Street Bridge, and two homes on Beach Hill—all of which are supposedly haunted by tragic events or the disrupted spirits of Ohlone Native Americans—and that was just the Westside Tour. This year, we explore the Eastside. The cold autumn light fades to an opal blue as we look out over Capitola and Pautsch tells us about the seabirds that suddenly fell from the sky over this sleepy seaside town in the middle of the last century. The end-of-days scenario inspired director Alfred Hitchcock, who had a residence in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to immortalize the odd happenings in his thriller The Birds. That grisly scene wasn’t the only piece of Santa Cruz history to inspire Hitchcock. The California Gothic-style Hotel McCray’s eerie facade was the muse for the Bates Motel in his iconic 1960 horror film Psycho. Built in 1883 and perched on Beach Hill overlooking downtown

PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES <25 Santa Cruz and the Boardwalk, it was discovered in 1908 that the hotel was built on Native American burial grounds when a plumber struck the skeletal remains of a skull with his pick. This violation of sacred soil is what many believe to be the cause of all sorts of inexplicable supernatural activity over the course of the hotel’s history. Later, the hotel became a bordello, a rooming house, and the home to notorious serial killer Herbert William Mullin, who killed 13 people during a murderous rampage in the early 1970s. Today, the structure has been beautifully remodeled into an assisted-living facility for the elderly known as Sunshine Villa, and has been recognized as a historical landmark.

After visiting the site of the old Capitola Theater—now a parking lot—where guests enjoyed their time so much some of them refused to leave even after they’d passed on, and the hill above Soquel High School, where two teenage lovers still look out over their alma mater, we stop on a residential street in the Soquel hills. Pautsch turns down “Monster Mash” and waits until we’re quiet. One of the most tragic crimes ever committed in this area was the shocking murder of Dr. Viktor Ohta—a prominent and wealthy Santa Cruz opthamologist—and his family, in their home in October 1970 by John Linley Frazier, a deranged fanatic. Besides murmurs of horror and grief, the passengers are silent as Pautsch tells the sad story in a hushed voice. Later, Pautsch tells me that she strives to be as sensitive as possible when visiting sites where tragic events have happened in the living memory of the community, particularly in the case of the doctor and his family. “I try to be as respectful as I can. I make a point to mention the memorial his staff erected at his old office on Water Street. I’m sharing the story, not mocking it,” she explains. “It was horrific and awful, but it did happen.”

She hopes that in addition to having a good time, the passengers gain a deeper understanding of the history of the area. “Despite how you feel about hauntings and ghosts, the history is real. These stories open the door to the architects and founders of our towns,” she says. Our last stop of the night is the Rispin Mansion on Wharf Road. We file out of the bus and huddle close to the chainlink fence that surrounds the perimeter of the property. The air is quiet and cold. Vacant for nearly half a century, the massive four-story 22-room Rivierastyle palace is entirely boarded up and obscured by heavy growth. The mansion’s 95-year history is plagued with mysterious happenings. Built by the reclusive Henry Allen Rispin in 1921 and abandoned in 1929, it was later occupied by the Poor Clares, who established it as a convent until 1959. After the nuns left, it was inhabited by squatters, one of whom tragically died after falling through the floor. The poor victim supposedly called for help for days before finally succumbing to dehydration. His harrowing cries are said to still be heard throughout the building. The mansion was purchased by the city in 1985, but attempts to renovate it have all been indefinitely delayed or abandoned due to a series of fires and other unexplained events. In the last few years, the city has renewed its interest in turning the site into a park, although they have yet to break ground. It remains a subject of fascination for local thrill seekers and believers in the paranormal. Apparitions seen inside its walls include the dark figure of a nun. Others reportedly feel an ominous spirit that viciously protects the house. Some have heard barking dogs from the SWAT team trainings that took place there for a short time in ’90s. As I peer through the fence, the cruise at an end, I almost want to see a shadow staring back. As I turn, I imagine one comes to the window just as I look away.

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

Royal Paw Spa Certified groomer Kaila Tabasz faces more challenges washing, cutting and styling her clients than she might if they had two legs instead of four, but she still wants her customers to feel and look their best. At Royal Paw Spa, her pet grooming business in Aptos, she strives to create a comfortable and safe environment for dogs of all shapes, sizes and special needs.

A longtime dog lover, Tabasz began volunteering at the Santa Cruz SPCA in late 2011. In 2012 she began bathing pets at PetSmart as she prepared to apply for a paralegal position. Before long, she realized she had stopped applying for jobs at law firms. She decided to become a certified groomer. In 2015 she opened the doors to Royal Paw Spa with the help of a loan she received from Santa Cruz Community Credit Union. After maxing out her finances to open the doors, the loan allowed her to pay expenses after her business opened. “Royal

Now, visitors are greeted by Tabasz’s dog, Willie, a 9-pound Doxin-Chihuahua mix she rescued from the side of the road in Hollister. “He’s my business partner, supervisor, marketing director and receptionist,” she says. A “cage optional” space, dogs can choose to relax on one of the dog beds, play with toys, have a drink of water or lay by her feet while they wait for their humans. She also has customized equipment to relieve joint pain and assist balance for aging or injured animals so they can maintain their dignity and prevent self-injury during grooming. Perhaps the most frequent request she receives is to relieve animals of the shed fur trapped in their coat. “Huskies, Newfoundlands and heelers are very popular in Santa Cruz, and they’re super furry. When they come to see me, they leave all of that here instead of in the carpet.” She also points out that shedding can be just as major an issue for smaller dogs as larger breeds. “Pugs and Corgis shed just as much as heelers and shepherds,” she points out.

A clean and attractive pet isn’t the only reason to go to a certified groomer regularly, she adds; it’s also important to maintaining a pet’s health. Tabasz looks over the skin and coat of her clients “inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter” as she grooms them, and has on more than one occasion notified owners of a potential health issue. Once, she noticed that a Shih Tzu had lost a significant amount of weight between visits, while the owner hadn’t noticed the gradual decline. Tabasz was able to catch it so the owner could alert their vet, potentially extending the dog’s life during a serious health issue. One of the most important tools of her trade is cultivating a relationship of trust between herself, her clients and the owners. “It takes patience,” she explains, “especially if they are new to grooming or have had a stressful grooming experience.” As she says this, she remarks that the 30-pound Labradoodle she’s been grooming during our interview was once one of her more difficult clients, but during this session he’s been very quiet and relaxed. “It’s so rewarding when the dogs respond well.”

“Most dogs don’t enjoy grooming, but my clients pull their owner toward the door,” says Tabasz. “That’s the most important thing for me—that the dog looks forward to coming back after their first appointment.”

Paw Spa wouldn’t exist without them,” says Tabasz.

“My penchant for quirky dress style helps set the stage.”- PATRICE VECCHIONE <30 of the seven scenes,” Vecchione says. This, from a woman who has carefully constructed her own sense of style out of bold colors and even bolder accessories. “It all started with a clothing exhibition at the Cherry Center. They wanted a reading. I said no. I would do a performance. I didn’t know whether it would work until I did it,” she says. But once she began imagining the scenes, the entire production—all done without intermission—came together. “My penchant for quirky dress style helps set the stage,” she notes— and the stage for her show will be abundantly set with props, scenery and moving pictures. The first scene “Contagious Enthusiasm” has been adapted from her book Stepping into Nature. In it Vecchione examines an African practice of dressing and adorning the body without the benefit of a mirror. “Who determines beauty anyway?” she asks. “The second piece is called ‘Looking for the Perfect Dress,’—what woman hasn’t had that experience?” Other scenes are adapted from the 2009 show Vecchione produced and performed to packed houses in both Santa Cruz and Monterey. The emotionally fraught issues surrounding wedding gowns, and the decision to wear or not wear a veil are acted out in another scene. “My favorite one is number six, ‘The Clothing of the Dead,’ about how we keep and wear clothing that belongs to others, now gone on,” she says. The point of all of these moving and colorful scenes is to enact and illuminate the connection between what we wear—sweaters, hats, shoes—and key transitional moments of our lives. “I’ve actually had a pair of shoes call my name!” she exclaims with delight. With her scarlet lipstick and oversized glasses, golden-haired Vecchione knows a thing or two about visual signature. The last scenario, Vecchione promises, will be the most intense.

It’s called “the Invisibility Cloak,” and examines “that thing that happens when women grow older, where men simply look past us. It’s rough in our culture. At first when that starting happening to me, it was a relief,” she recalls. “It was a relief in not being judged all the time, being able to swing my arms, to feel freer in my body. But then it became irritating.” Even though she doesn’t feel determined by the opinions of others, the performer will admit to having issues about her chin. Working from a skillful balance of scripted words and anecdotal memory, Vecchione fashioned a one-woman cascade of costume changes, setting the stage and acting out each of the vignettes she’s chosen to illustrate key moments in many women’s lives. Why did the multi-tasking lecturer, writer, and teacher need to add yet another project to her schedule? “A lot of this is improv,” she admits saucily. “I do so much improv in my other work, and I like to be funny. Performing is a much more immediate and alive form of expression than writing. I’m driven to make the ideas live.” Words Dressed and Undressed has it all—visuals, music, “lots of outfit changes and lots of props.” Vecchione admits that she gets “really nervous beforehand, and then I become incredibly happy. It must mean that I’m mentally ill,” she says with a chuckle. “I can hear and feel people in the audience, and the energy changes. Then afterwards I go out and people greet me. It’s complete engagement. Women have told me that I had explained them to their husbands.” Now that’s quite a performance achievement! INFO: Showtimes for Patrice Vecchione’s ‘Words Dressed & Undressed: Women, Identity & Aging’ are: 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 4, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5.

THEATER

A SEMPLE PLAN Maria Semple will discuss her work on Friday, Oct. 28 at Peace United Church.

Get Unreal

aria Semple is well versed in comedy. As a former television writer for shows like Mad About You, Saturday Night Live, and Arrested Development, she has traded jokes in the real world with the funniest people you’ve never met, but she prefers fictional ones where anything can happen. “That’s what I love about writing novels,” she says. “There has to be an internal consistency, but otherwise it’s wide open. I love setting my own rules, being cornered by them, and then breaking out.” In Semple’s breakout novel, Where’d You Go Bernadette?, she sets her own rules with gusto, switching formats,

skewering norms, and taking her characters on a wild ride from Seattle to Antarctica and back again. The reason why so many readers connect with it is the loving but unconventional relationship between the novel’s two main characters, 15-year-old Bee and her mother, Bernadette. Semple continues to wrestle with the imperfect bond between parents and their children in her new novel, Today Will Be Different. Like her others, it walks a tightrope between comedy and seriousness. “They’re almost one and the same in a strange way,” she says, and she takes pains to balance the two. “That’s the joy of writing, figuring it all out. It’s hard, but it’s a good hard. It tells you

you’re going to take a microscope to things, and that’s fun.” The novel plays out over one day, but it explores big issues. “It’s about that struggle to be the person you know you can be on the smallest scale possible,” Semple says. “You’re not trying to save the world, you’re just trying to love those around you the way you want to, yet you never love them quite that way, and you feel like you’re failing them over and over again. Eleanor Flood is that person in this story, protesting too much, grabbing on too tightly. A shift has to take place.” Like many writers, Semple knows how failure can fuel change. “When I wrote my first novel, I knew I’d found

Maria Semple will discuss her work at an offsite, ticketed event at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 at Peace United Church.

my form. When it wasn’t successful, it felt like I’d lost in the first round of the tournament. I just wanted to stay in the game,” Semple says. She talked to a friend, who told her that if she didn’t write, she’d become a menace to society. “When I heard that, I thought, wow, what would my life look like in 15 years if I never pick myself up? It seemed funny and scary at the same time, bursting with energy. It was enough to get me writing again,” she says. Semple makes no apologies for drawing from her own life to write her novels, knowing that if she gives her characters warmth and heart, she can play with the details. “I’m an entertainer,” she says. “I have this stuff that’s very personal to me that I want to write about and it’s real, but I want to kick it up a notch and turn it into a compelling story for everyone.” Semple has a daughter and relates to the conundrum kids find themselves in when it comes to their parents. “I feel kind of sorry for how stuck with me my daughter is,” she says. “I think that comes through in both of my kid characters. They’re stuck with their moms and yet they love them unconditionally. They don’t have an option and they don’t reflect on it, it’s just what is. That’s what I want to write about, the almost inherent tragedy of how much these kids love their imperfect parents.” Semple thinks that kids make great straight men. “All the straight man has to do is hold up a mirror every now and then,” she says. “Just stating the facts is enough to make him seem incredibly wise.” Luckily for readers, Maria Semple has not become a menace to society, but instead a funny, quirky, serious writer who sweats the small stuff and lives to tell the tale. As for the writing itself, “it’s like having a daily tantrum,” she says. “It’s all id, and it’s what I was made to do.”

CZECH PLEASE Please the Trees plays the Crepe Place on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

Arbor Daze OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Czech band Please the Trees is full of surprises BY AARON CARNES

uring the course of three truncated interviews with Please the Trees leader Vaclav Havelka, which were cut short due to his touring schedule, it became apparent how strictly he adheres to a fly-by-theseat-of-his-pants DIY ethos. The trio, which hails from the Czech Republic and plays fuzzed-out, tribal-infused noise-pop, is currently on its fourth U.S. tour. But this is the first, Havelka boasts with a burst of childlike glee, that the group has done with an actual booker. Before that, he did everything, and Please the Trees played in whatever off-the-grid venues they could sneak into. This time around, they are playing established venues. In Santa Cruz, that means the Crepe Place on Oct. 26. It’s a big switch from their gigs in the Czech Republic, where Havelka

has been going out of his way these past couple of years to steer clear of any normal venues, preferring coffee shops, basements, street corners and other such spaces. “The most beautiful experiences I’ve had with music are always the ones where the people were not coming to the gig to see us,” he says somewhere in rural Virginia, driving to his next gig. “It’s easy to play for a crowd that likes your music. But to get a crowd on your side that is not expecting you—I always feel like it’s about the music.” Last June, they took this principle to a new level, renting a flatbed truck and touring around the Czech Republic for two weeks. They played parking lots, schools and parks, never announcing their shows beforehand. “It’s been like a social experiment. People are in the middle of their regular life. Some people were angry,

some people were happy,” Havelka says. “I feel like the rock ’n’ roll just somehow vanished from the streets. That’s where it came from. I felt like, ‘let’s bring it back. Let’s go to the very core of it.’” They lugged along a film crew to record their flat-bed truck exploits. It should materialize into a documentary sometime next year. Hopefully it makes its way to the states so more Americans can glimpse what maniacs Please the Trees can be. In the meantime, the group continues to try to push musical boundaries—their new record Carp is a pulsating, meditative noise-fest— and involve themselves with unusual projects. One is an effort to save the Sumava National Park in the Czech Republic, which is currently in danger of being bulldozed by developers eager to transform it into holiday resorts.

Please The Trees has been raising funds to halt development through ongoing shows and summer festivals. Whether or not these shenanigans are the cause, Please the Trees’ music has jumped a couple levels recently. Carp, their fourth LP, is their most visceral to date. The group formed a decade ago with Havelka the only original member at this point. The current lineup has been in place for four years. (Havelka on guitar/vocals, Jan Svacina on drums, and Mira Syrny on bass). They lock in as a unit with repetitive grooves that throb with restless energy that seems to come from the deepest part of their souls. “Some people are interested in guitars and pedals. I have been like, whatever came to me—that affects whatever comes out sonically,” Havelka says. “The whole approach is magical in the sense that you just keep learning, you just keep exploring things. I feel more like a music fan than a musician.” Carp’s origin is seemingly full of magic. It was recorded in Detroit on their last U.S. tour. A friend, Chris Koltay, owned a studio called High Bias Studio and invited him to come. Originally they couldn’t, but when a couple of shows canceled, Havelka thought they’d just swing and whip out some demos. In two days, they recorded all the tracks—and were happy enough to release them, even if they weren’t totally polished. “I know many people that are sitting on records for years because it’s not perfect. I feel like, even if you make mistakes, you can move further. It captures something,” Havelka says, still excited about Carp a year after its release. Havelka has few set plans for the band, other than to continue to make records, play shows and keep exploring artistically in every way possible. “I feel like the world is such a big place. There’s a place for every kind of music,” Havelka says. “As long as people are honest and true. That’s what I learned from people I like. You just have to get inspired and see what happens.” INFO: 9 p.m., Oct. 26, Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-6994.

SURFERS’ BLOOD There’s an indescribable connection between a person who dares defy physics to harness the power of a natural force and the force itself. For surfers, it’s bloodlines. It comes from the old rugged Basque coast by oar and surfboard shaper Patxi Oliden to the sprawling reaches of San Francisco and Apple designer Thomas Meyerhoffer. The documentary Surfers’ Blood takes the viewer further through hydrodynamic surfboards with curator Richard Kenvin to a near-fatal meth addiction suffered by three-time Mavericks champion Darryl “Flea” Virostko. Filmmaker Patrick Trefz lives and works in Santa Cruz and has produced widely acclaimed feature-length documentaries Thread and Idiosyncrasies. Info: 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

TREEHERDER Every band is scared at their first show. But a year ago, when local doom metal band Treeherder first set foot on stage, they had a little more reason to be nervous. Their set consisted of one single 28-minute-long song.

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We wanted to come out with a bang. We were all really nervous at first. I think once we got a couple minutes into it and we started shaking out the butterflies, we just let it flow from there. It was a really fun experience,” says bassist/ vocalist Austin DeMars.

The members had worked on the song for a long time. In fact, it was the reason the group formed. Guitarist/vocalist Aaron Hernandez had been writing the song on his own for nearly a year before he had considered putting a band together. Once he got together with DeMars and drummer Dominic Aiello, they devoted several more months to getting it right. They recorded it as their demo, in a single take. “I had a pretty general idea of what I wanted the outcome to be, and the sound I wanted it to go for. Don and Austin were perfect for that. It clicked when we first jammed. We just knew we had to keep going with it,” says Hernandez. After playing a couple of shows with only their one song, they started to write more and diversify their set. Their new material isn’t quite as long, but averages about 15-20 minutes. Their shortest song is eight minutes. A full-length is the next item on the agenda for the group. They say all they need now is one more song, and they’ll be ready to record. Of course, it could take a while to write. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

PORTUGAL THE MAN

WEDNESDAY 10/26 INDIE ROCK

PORTUGAL THE MAN The last time I saw Portugal the Man perform, my friend and some random 6-foot-3 guy standing in front of me both fainted within seconds of each other during the first song. This was 2011, when the band was touring their most psychedelic album—we were standing dangerously close to a fog machine, the Fillmore was sweaty and packed, and the show had started with a screening of a surreal, 13 minute-long film. PTM pulls out all the stops when it comes to visual performance art; the band recently collaborated with Yoko Ono, and is now touring Evil Friends, the outfit’s eighth album. KATIE SMALL

Donald Fagen’s album Morph the Cat and jazz heads through his collaboration with saxophonist Chris Potter on Underground. But he’d already earned a devoted following on the New York scene over the previous decade with his audacious improvisational flights, personal harmonic vocabulary and command of intricate metric structures. Building on Good Piranha, Bad Piranha, his jaw-dropping 2014 album covering unlikely pop tunes, he plays Santa Cruz as part of his Undercover Pop Tour, deconstructing songs by artists like Bob Dylan and Talking Heads, Mos Def and Prince, Jethro Tull and Talib Kweli.

PUNK

JAZZ

Ever wondered what “droogs” in A Clockwork Orange would sound like if they formed a band? It’s hard to say for sure, but my best guess is England’s firstwave punk band the Adicts. The group is actually best known for dressing as

WAYNE KRANTZ Guitarist Wayne Krantz had something of a breakout year in 2006, impressing rock fans with his work on

THE ADICTS

droogs, while musically it’s strictly fun, light-hearted, hook-laden, middle-finger-to-the-establishment punk rock. It was one of the biggest punk groups in its day. By the ’80s, the band got picked up by Sire, changing its name to the less offensive ADX. That relationship didn’t last, but the Adicts did, and they’re still rocking out.

PAINTED MANDOLIN

New York-based Stolar isn’t a household pop star, but he writes songs like he is. These are big anthemic, spine-tingling ear worms. And just like the best of pop music, he colors outside of the genre lines with elements of R&B, rock, and soul. Last year, he wrote and released the inspirational tune “My Own Way.” This isn’t his only song with a positive message—he’s also been outspoken about the power of mental health in his music. This is the ideal time to see him, as word is that Stolar might be releasing some music on a major label soon. Local rock-pop extraordinaire Henry Chadwick shares the bill. AC

Painted Mandolin is a Jerry Garcia tribute band that celebrates Garcia’s acoustic side as it takes on tunes from his early jug band days, his time with Old and in the Way, the rootsier side of the Grateful Dead and the hot-picking of the Garcia Grisman Band. Comprising guitarist Matt Hartle of Spirit of 76, China Cats, and Shady Groove; guitarist Larry Graff of the Banana Slug String Band and Slugs n’ Roses; bassist Roger Sideman of China Cats; and David Gans and Sycamore Slough String Band, and celebrated violinist and mandolin player Joe Craven of the Garcia Grisman

If it’s not obvious what kind of music a band calling itself “Mystic Braves” would play, please refer to the title of the band’s latest LP, Days of Yesteryear. Yes, this is clearly music of the retro variety. Specifically, the ’60s Summer of Love. Think of the Monterey Pop Festival and imagine a conglomeration of every single band on the lineup mashed into one single groovy, psychedelic rock band—with an extra helping of the Doors’ Ray Manzarek’s signature organ sound. AC

jaying—a combination of deejaying and singing—with conscious lyrics focused on education, tolerance, and the “upliftment” of women. Saturday is an album release party for his new full-length album Rootz Warrior. Online pre-sale tickets include a copy of the book On the Road with Bob Marley by Mark Miller. CJ

I once saw Trombone Shorty hold a note for about 15 minutes—and I’m not even kidding. He was doing some type of circular breathing that had the San Jose Jazz Summerfest audience picking its jaws up off the grass. A celebrated trombonist who is the toast of New Orleans and one of a new generation of ambassadors for Crescent City jazz, soul and funk, Trombone Shorty masterfully infuses fresh energy and flavor into a classic sound while paying deep respect to the style’s roots.

FILM

BEST DEFENSE Rachel Weisz plays the author and historian Deborah Lipstadt in the fact-based courtroom drama

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Denial,’ adapted from the book ‘Denial: Holocaust History on Trial.’

Courting History Historian faces Holocaust denier in timely ‘Denial’ BY LISA JENSEN

he perversion of historical fact according to one’s private agenda is at the heart of Denial. This factbased courtroom drama revolves around the legal battle between Jewish-American professor and historian Deborah Lipstadt, and her nemesis, David Irving, a British so-called historian famous for denying that the Holocaust—Hitler’s extermination of six million Jews in death camps like Auschwitz—ever happened. Adapted for the screen by veteran playwright David Hare from Lipstadt’s book about the trial, Denial: Holocaust History on Trial, the film is directed by Mick Jackson with an eye

toward its larger themes—the rise of demagoguery, the issue of free speech and the arcane pathways of legal procedure. It also invites us to examine the relationship of verifiable truth to its opposite—a very timely topic in this campaign season. The ever-luminous Rachel Weisz tones down the glam and amps up the moxie to play Deborah Lipstadt, a feisty native of Queens, New York, who lectures on history at prestigious Emory University in Atlanta. An author who specializes in Holocaust history, Lipstadt is at the podium one night in 1994 at an event for her new book, Denying The Holocaust, when she’s heckled from the audience by David Irving

(Timothy Spall)—a well-known apologist for Nazi Germany and darling of skinheads and neo-Nazis— who flamboyantly offers a thousand dollars to anyone who can prove the Holocaust happened. Lipstadt has already cited Irving in her book as a dangerous denier of facts. But what starts out as only a passing disturbance at her book event turns into something much larger when Irving sues Lipstadt’s British publisher, Penguin London, for libel. Off she goes to London to confer with her legal team. Solicitor Anthony Julius (Andrew Scott, and yes, you recognize him as Jim Moriarty in the Sherlock TV series) prepares the case, but Richard Rampton (Tom

Wilkinson) is the veteran barrister who argues it in court. Unlike in the States, where the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, in the U.K., it’s up to the defendant to disprove the plaintiff’s claim. Her lawyers opt for “the Atom Bomb Defense”—to prove that Lipstadt’s “libelous” statements are, in fact, true. It’s no secret that Irving denies the Holocaust as historical fact; what Lipstadt’s team has to prove is far more slippery— that Irving has deliberately falsified facts he knows to be true in order to further his own reputation. To complicate matters, Irving acts as his own barrister, arguing his own case in the courtroom, and happily grandstanding for the press every day outside. Lipstadt, meanwhile, is advised by her team to remain silent throughout the proceedings, and to never speak to the press. Apparently, in the actual trial, a number of expert witnesses testified on behalf of the defense that the Holocaust was a proven historical fact. None of this testimony appears in the film. Hare and Jackson assume their audience already knows the Holocaust happened. Instead, they focus their courtroom drama on the battle of wits and wills between Irving, smug in the fabrications for which he seeks such public validation, and incisive barrister Rampton, searching for the weakest chinks in Irving’s armor of lies to slip in the sword of truth. This may not read like the most dynamic set-up for onscreen drama. But the collision of the civil right of free speech with the willful spreading of racist, hate-mongering falsehoods for political gain has a particular resonance right now, in reference to a certain presidential nominee (aka He Who Must Not Be Named—especially by me). The similarities are both fascinating and appalling, lending Denial an extra layer of timeliness, while reminding the audience that truth and vigilance are our best defense against repeating the worst mistakes of the past. DENIAL *** (out of four) Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall, & Tom Wilkinson. Written by David Hare. From the book ‘Denial: Holocaust History on Trial’ by Deborah E. Lipstadt. Directed by Mick Jackson. A Bleecker Street release. Rated PG-13. 110 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

CERTAIN WOMEN “It’d be so lovely to think that if I were a man, people would listen and say OK.” Kelly Reichardt directs. Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart, Laura Dern co-star. (R) 107 minutes.

THE ACCOUNTANT Ever since he was a kid, Christian Wolff exhibited highly advanced cognitive skills. As an adult, he’s an accountant—with a somewhat illicit sidegig that gets the Treasury Department interested in his daily goingson. Gavin O’Connor directs. Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons co-star. (R) 128 minutes.

INFERNO The good news is that Professor Langdon’s hair has gotten considerably better since The DaVinci Code. The bad news is that he got yet another more attractive and far younger brunette as a sidekick to solve a puzzle of vaguely illuminating clues based on “Dante’s Inferno.”There’s danger, intrigue, government cover ups, a worldwide plague, all that, and another in a series of movies that makes one wonder what they’ve got on Tom Hanks to make him go from Sully to this? Ron Howard directs. Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan costar. (PG-13) 121 minutes.

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

MISS HOKUSAI It’s Edo, Japan 1814 and ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai is a little nutty. Miss Hokusai is the animated story of the life and works of the Japanese artist as told through the words of his daughter, based on the historical manga. Keiichi Hara directs. Yutaka Matsushige, Anne Watanabe, Erica Lindbeck co-star. (PG13) 93 minutes.

OASIS: SUPERSONIC An in-depth look at one of rock’s true giants and how the bond between two unstoppable brothers fashioned a legacy. Mat Whitecross directs. Paul Arthurs, Christine Biller, Liam Gallagher co-star. (R) 122 minutes. MIDNIGHTS AT THE DEL MAR & SPECIAL SCREENINGS: Frankenstein, 11 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 30, Del Mar, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Midnight, Friday, Oct. 28 & Saturday Oct. 29, Del Mar. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

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. 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 co-star. (R) 120 minutes. 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 costar. (PG-13) 103 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. DENIAL Reviewed this issue. Mick Jackson directs. Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Spall co-star. (PG13) 110 minutes.

THE DRESSMAKER Myrtle Dunnage is back and she’s bringing haute couture, sass, and sweet, sweet revenge to rural Australia. Jocelyn Moorhouse directs. Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth co-star. (R) 119 minutes.

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.

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN One week ago at 4:36 p.m., a woman disappeared. Rachel Watson saw her talking with a man shortly before then. But Rachel Watson is obsessed with her ex-husband and a destructive alcoholic who spies on the perfect life of her ex’s perfect new wife. The new wife isn’t all that perfect either, and everybody’s lying to someone. So who murdered Megan Hipwell? Tate Taylor directs. Haley Bennett, Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux co-star. (R) 112 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 costar. (PG-13) 116 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. 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. (PG13) 101 minutes. KEVIN HART: WHAT NOW? It’s 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 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,

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. (PG-13) 94 minutes. MAX STEEL It’s Max McGrath’s ninth fresh start. But the ultralinks are here to destroy the earth, so he has to learn all he can from Steel about his newly discovered powers—and pronto. Stewart Hendler directs. Ben Winchell, Josh Brener, Maria Bello co-star. (PG13) 92 minutes. MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE When the biggest bully is a school official with rules like: no talking, no outside food, no laughing, no going to the bathroom. And we thought our middle school years were bad. Steve Carr directs. Lauren Graham, Griffin Gluck, Rob Riggle co-star. (PG) 92 minutes. MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN Be still, our beating hearts—the fantastical world of Tim Burton’s Home for Peculiar Children has finally arrived. One girl floats, two boys are invisible, one girl has to eat with her mouth on the back of her head. They’re peculiar! Some, like Jacob, haven’t yet discovered their peculiarity, but through the battle with the Hollows, he learns he was born to protect them. Tim Burton directs. Eva Green,

Asa Butterfield, Samuel L. Jackson co-star. (PG-13) 127 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 co-star. (PG-13) 99 minutes. QUEEN OF KATWE The story of how a girl from the slums of Uganda rose to become the first female chess player to win the open category of the National Junior Chess Championship in Uganda and became the champion in 2013. So many snaps to Disney for backing a female director for this incredible true story with a powerful cast. Mira Nair directs. Madina Nalwanga, David Oyelowo, and Lupita Nyong'o co-star. (PG) 124 minutes. SNOWDEN Edward Snowden was, and still is, one of the most famous and controversial whistleblowers in American history. Joseph GordonLevitt unpacks what it was like for the then-barely-30-year-old to make a decision that would make him the world’s most wanted man. Oliver Stone directs. Shailene Woodley and Melissa Leo co-star. (R) 134 minutes. SULLY He felt both engines fail. He had 208 seconds to make a call for the 155 souls on board. Did Captain Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger make the right call to land flight 1549 on the Hudson River? Clint Eastwood directs. Tom Hanks, Laura Linney and Aaron Eckhart co-star. (PG-13) 96 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 costar. (R) 82 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK goers and sign books. She will give a brief presentation at 10 a.m. Seating is limited—plan to arrive early. (The Aptos Farmers Market happens at 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos.) Diana Kennedy is the real thing—I know many Santa Cruzans who have taken cooking classes with her in Mexico. She’s a lifelong cuisinartist who communicates the importance of using correct ingredients and authentic preparation techniques. Her energy helped to preserve the cooking traditions of Mexico for many professional and home chefs. “We must preserve for future generations,” she says “the beauty and diversity of this unique and marvelous planet Earth on which we are privileged to live.” Make plans to spend time with Diana Kennedy, listening to the stories she has collected and making the food she has loved over a long lifetime of cooking.

COOK BOOKED Soif Wine Bar hosts Diana Kennedy for a book signing and special dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 15. PHOTO: BETSY MCNAIR

Fancy This Diana Kennedy tours Santa Cruz after re-issue of her most popular cookbook, plus Octagon update BY CHRISTINA WATERS

uess who’s coming to dinner? Diana Kennedy, the acclaimed cookbook author and culinary historian, that’s who. Kennedy is probably best known for her archetypal The Art of Mexican Cooking, but the list of her mouthwatering cookbookery is long and tasty. At 93, the matriarch of Mexican cooking research has been there and done that, but she still has time to visit Santa Cruz next month for three events celebrating the recent re-issue of Nothing Fancy: Recipes and Recollections of Soul

Satisfying Food. New recipes, revisions and lists distinguish the book, originally published in 1984. Nothing Fancy also reads like a memoir chronicling Kennedy’s many years living in Mexico and includes family recipes from England and from her travels around the globe. Hurry to book some time with Diana Kennedy. 6 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 15, Soif Wine Bar will host Kennedy a reception and book signing, followed by a special dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets ($150) include a copy of Nothing Fancy, and a portion of the proceeds go to the Diana Kennedy

Center, committed to the preservation of Mexico’s cuisines and biodiversity. Make reservations online at opentable. com or call Soif, 423-2020. On Wednesday, Nov. 16 Kennedy will be at the Downtown Santa Cruz Farmers Market. Expect to find her checking out the wares from local farms from 2-5 p.m., and giving a talk and Q&A scheduled for 3 p.m. Thanks to Bookshop Santa Cruz you’ll find many of Kennedy’s books for sale at the market. Finally, on Saturday, Nov. 19 Kennedy returns to the Aptos Farmers Market to visit with market-

Nina Simon, director of the Museum of Art & History says she’s “excited to integrate it into Abbott Square. To that end, we’re working on plans that will take several months to get moving,” Simon reveals. “But I’m also looking for potential partners in short-term use of the Octagon over the winter. The plaza will be under reconstruction, so it will be surrounded by an active construction site, but I imagine there is some creative pop-up store, artist collective, community use that might make sense.” Sounds like a shout-out to creative entrepreneurs—Octagon, Abbott Square, and MAH. Exciting.

PAMELA’S GF CORNBREAD MIX Yes, this is the bomb for those desiring to avoid gluten. (I know that “real” cornbread doesn’t contain much flour, anyway.) Just add eggs, melted butter, a little bit of organic brown sugar and some water, and bob’s your uncle. I make mine in those teeny micromuffin tins. First I add a blueberry or two to each and then pour in the batter. Fifteen minutes in the oven you’ve got aromatic, tender, delicious little cornmeal muffins. Freeze most of them, and then release them when you need to consume something that acts like a muffin, but avoids gluten. Once again, thank you Pamela’s!

Southern Import

Alvarado Street’s brews make their way north from Monterey BY LILY STOICHEFF

nlike Santa Cruz County, which rapidly expanded from five to 13 breweries within five years and shows no sign of stopping, Monterey County has been slower to start its beer revolution. The exception is Alvarado Street Brewery & Grill, which has gained legions of fans for their juicy, unfiltered IPAs and crisp Bohemian lagers and pilsners since it opened in Monterey in 2014. In two short years, Alvarado Street has expanded its beer garden, won multiple awards and opened a production facility and tasting room in Salinas, where head brewer J.C. Hill and his team are delving into barrel aging under the title Yeast of Eden. Like many of their fans, I can’t get enough of their East Coast-style IPAs, which show up at local pubs like Lúpulo and Beer Thirty Bottle Shop & Pourhouse for a few hours, if you’re lucky, before thirsty beer geeks drink them dry. A different beast than their bright, resiny West Coast cousins, East Coast IPAs have more body and a slightly silkier mouthfeel from the addition of oats. Their trademark fruity, tropical aromas can be so

deliciously intense that brewers sometimes feel the need to emphasize that they’re not appropriate to drink with breakfast. A perfect example is Alvarado Street’s Contains No Juice IPA, which won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival last month. Other beers to watch out for are Haze of Our Lives, Mai Tai, and Minesweeper. Since they opened the production facility in Salinas, you can now pick up an ever-evolving set of creations in cans at local beer-minded establishments like Beer Thirty, Lúpulo and AJ’s Market. If you’re not in the mood for an IPA, pick up Monterey Common Vienna-style lager or the Haoli Punch, a light, tart brew brimming with guava. Hill, who got his start brewing in San Diego, doesn’t really enjoy producing the same beer over and over again. “It’s kind of selfish, really,” he admits. “But we want to constantly keep experimenting.” Hill invited local brewers from Capitola-based Sante Adairius Rustic Ales down recently to collaborate on a hoppy pale ale that will be available in the coming weeks.

PETAL POWERThe Evening of Wine and Roses on Nov. 4 is a fundraiser for the Pajaro Valley Health Trust.

Bernardus Winery Full bodied Pinot Noir, plus evening of Wine & Roses event BY JOSIE COWDEN

visit to the tasting room of Bernardus Winery in Carmel Valley is an absolute treat. The wines are superb, the staff knowledgeable and friendly and there’s an outdoor patio where you can relax and enjoy the experience. It’s good to know in advance that Bernardus tastings start at $12 for a flight of four, which is refundable if you spend $75, and for a further $12 you can also get a fromage tasting; or a fromage and charcuterie tasting for $17. A wine that’s reasonably priced is the 2013 Pinot Noir Monterey County ($25). With its notable intensity and fruit-forward expression, this full-bodied Pinot has an abundance of warm earthiness on the nose and intense flavors of smoke, spice and caramel. It’s a really lovely Pinot that’s very drinkable as we enter into the cooler days of fall. Bernardus Winery, 5 West Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, 298-8021. Toll free: 800-223-2533. The tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

EVENING OF WINE AND ROSES The Evening of Wine and Roses event

is an annual fundraiser put on by the Pajaro Valley Health Trust board of directors and staff, with proceeds helping to support the needs of lowincome Pajaro Valley families. Local wineries and restaurants supply an abundance of wine and food for tasting; the silent and live auctions are always spectacular, and local Pajaro Valley roses can be bought by the dozen. This splendid event is from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4 in the Crosetti Building at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. Tickets are $75 ($85 at the door). Info and tickets: pvhealthtrust.org

BEER, BRATS, BLUES, AND BOOS

Enjoy the rhythm and groove of the Vinny Johnson Band, a spooky adult costume contest, local craft beer and an Oktoberfest-inspired menu at the fourth annual Beer and Sausage Fest. The event is from 3-6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30 at the beautiful Chaminade Resort & Spa in Santa Cruz. Tickets are $40 all inclusive. Call 475-5600 or visit chaminade.com for more info.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GHOSTS, GOBLINS AND SPIRITS

As the Sun enters Scorpio, we enter the autumn festivals, especially Halloween (the day after Scorpio new moon), All Souls and All Saints days. Halloween, or Dia de los Muertos, initiates the three-day festival of ghosts, goblins and spirits, good and bad, allowed to pierce the veils separating worlds. We greet the spirits, especially relatives and little ones (angels) with altars of food, marigolds, candles, flowers, copal (incense) and prayers of greeting. Skeletons glide by, appearing as candies and sweet treats while in dark places things go “bump in the night.” The festivals (of light) for the “dark half of the year” have begun. Both Sun and Mercury are in Scorpio. Hermes (Mercury), the messenger, sends information to humanity via the Sun. It’s a message, concerning Scorpio’s Nine Tests of the personality, given each year at this time, preparing us for discipleship

(Scorpio and Sag), service (Capricorn and Aquarius) and saving the world (Pisces). Mars provides the tests as Pluto transforms us. With Mercury in Scorpio, communication (ours/others) can be unconsciously unkind, merciless, cruel and heartless, leading us to study nonviolent communication or compassionate communication techniques, so that we may know and learn about the virtues of kind speech. In this festival time of dark and light, death and life, I want to acknowledge a death in our community— Joy Takahashi—an adopted daughter in our family who died Oct. 16 due to illness, homelessness, poverty, joblessness and malnutrition. Joy’s death underscores a grave social illness in our country. Joy was a joyful being. A memorial will be held in November. Om Mani Padme Hum. Goodbye, Joy.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Finances and resources, personal and with others, are highlighted. Careful attention is needed along with concentration, efficiency, economy and strength. Apply these virtues daily with a slow consistent rhythm. You may uncover more resources. So many things are hidden during Scorpio. Remember others who have much less. Share and tithe. Tithing creates great abundance.

You’re called to a past situation and then to a present-future one. Something unusual has occurred that blends the two. The past remains for a while so you can liberate it. Always be kind, in all circumstances. Libra holds a scale. One side may contain judgment, the other love. One keeps you spiritually lonely. The other shifts you into a loving community. Can you identify the two sides and where you’re positioned? Forgiveness is alchemical. The past needs it from you.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 26, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You want to move consistently into the future with new ideas and plans but there are so few who understand, few with your illumined vision, and even less with your force of will and stamina. Always, you strive for poise during transition times while sending prayerful requests for able, intelligent and financial assistance to manifest. Your research illumines our minds. Your prayers prepare the field.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 For about a year, you will participate in a deep internal expansion, producing changes—all creating your upcoming future. It comes with a revelatory impact. As this occurs, be aware of a need to serve others. Be aware of growing compassion and becoming, if you choose to be, a model for others. As Scorpio is the warrior of the zodiac, you’re prepared for the coming times where the death of the old finally occurs. Strength will be called upon.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You’re restless, yet duty-bound, responsible yet rebellious, seeking security yet craving freedom, pleased yet dissatisfied and stimulated by conflicts. You’re a paradox. Contradictions create tensions, revelations, new psychological insights. Don’t push them aside. They reveal the harmony-throughconflict process that Sag works through to bring new consciousness forth. It’s best to work in groups now.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You may experience stress and over responsibility in your daily life as more and more tasks seem to be appearing, along with a sense to prepare for something and to bring balance into daily life. These changes reflect the pulse of humanity. It’s good to remain within the safety of home. Make changes in small ways. When viewing the big picture offer compassion and dispassion. Children bring both hard work and blessings.

Do you feel pulled between self needs and the needs of others? Are recent events upsetting home, family and relationships? Capricorns have Pluto and Mars influencing them. Very potent experiences may occur. You are on the “cross” of change. It’s imperative to share with trusted others so you do not feel alone. Consider (you and family) studying compassionate communication techniques (non-violent communication). It brings forth the language of love.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Two things are happening to you. A sense of great creativity and then a pulling back. You may feel separated from others as if certain resources are hiding from you. You are very intuitive, so observe your thoughts. Is your daily life feeling like a transformation is about to occur? Are financial needs being served? A sudden revelation occurs which expands you into other worlds. Take us with you.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Some Aquarians are experiencing great work success. Some will be traveling seeking community. Both are experiencing recognition, expanded social and work reputations, financial responsibilities, while developing new business or life plans. Aquarians are climbing the ladder of success in their own unusual ways, doing more than they thought capable. And succeeding. Keep going.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Small changes occur in your personal life. Money may feel abundant and then there’s a desire to run away from something restricting you at home. It feels like the seeds of the future, life-changing, are breaking through. You’re restless for emotional and financial independence. Moving forward comes slowly. Allow inner spiritual intentions to hold you. Transformation arrives for a long visit.

You need flexibility in great amounts as interruptions and unexpected events are occurring in daily life, family life, geographically and in terms of self-identity. You cannot prepare for what will happen. You can only soothe the waters with knowledge that what occurs is redesigning your life in ways you could never have designed yourself. You’re capable, sensitive, sensible and smart. And being looked after. Go to church.

Deep feelings, emerging from early life at home are playing out in your daily life. Be careful of thoughts, actions and communication. Careful that you don’t project onto others your pain. Don’t hide your vulnerability because everyone will become vulnerable, too. Sharing any sadness eases barriers obstructing heartfelt communication and contact. You want love. Love comes from contact. We are all learning this.

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.”
