OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE
NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
A few months ago, Maria Grusauskas announced in an editorial meeting that she’d like to do a story on what makes things funny. She has a way of suggesting articles like this that makes them sound as if no one on Earth could actually write them, like the time she came to a meeting and said she wanted to do an article on trees. That’s all, just trees. My response to these ideas used to be something like “Well, that sounds a little broad,” or “That sounds more like a book than an article.” But I’ve learned that what happens is, over time, she hones these ideas down to something very specific and interesting, like how her idea about trees became her excellent story about Santa Cruz’s heritage trees earlier this
4
year. In other words, it’s always a good idea to let her challenge herself to find the story in whatever general topic she might be obsessing over at the time. And obsess she has over the last few months—going to comedy shows, listening to podcasts, talking to comedians, and generally spending a lot of her time trying to figure out what makes people laugh, and why. The reason, she told us back then, was that she herself wanted to be funnier, and she wanted to know if that was possible to do. What eventually came out of her quest is this week’s cover story, and once again I think she’s found the story in a way that only she can. Rather than trying too hard to be funny about being funny, it’s a thoughtful reflection on the topic that balances light and shadow in unexpected ways to explain how humor and laughter transform our world. Next story idea: the universe? STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

DEMAND SUSTAINABILITY
RE: ‘PAVING GRACE’
Re: “Paving Grace” (GT, 11/2): Ironic how J. Pierce’s article is in the same GT issue with a cover story on fires, extreme weather and our climate crisis. Pierce’s article misses how Measure D will contribute to this life-endangering crisis if passed, while not even getting us out of gridlock. D’s main focus is in increasing car capacity; all the other “green stuff” is not guaranteed. As a bike and bus commuter, I love rail trails but know that a trail and a measure that does not adequately fund bus service will not give single-occupancy car drivers a reason to stop driving. Yet counties nearby have been successful using less costly strategies to reduce traffic congestion and climatedisrupting pollution. Commuter benefits programs offered through employers eliminated millions of solo car trips and their associated greenhouse gas emissions within 12 months! It’s time to demand a truly sustainable county transportation system!
This bike path could be built at a fraction of the cost, and with no taxpayer money, over removed tracks. The train is going to be very expensive, with very little benefit. We could easily build the bike path, and in the future, if people want the train back, so be it. The tracks have to be removed and replaced anyway for light rail. The RTC Commissioner, Mr. Dondero, does not have any construction experience, and came from academia straight into a government job. He is not qualified to estimate the cost of building this entirely separate road for the bike path to save an expensive train that we do not need, nor will be helpful. A brief examination by either hiking the tracks or looking at pictures will show anyone that clearing the land 100 feet' wide for two roads will not only be very expensive, but extremely ugly.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 9 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Now and then, you display an excessive egotism that pushes people away. But during the next six weeks, you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support. So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright. You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 “How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller. I don’t fully endorse that perspective. For example, when I said goodbye to North Carolina with the intention to make Northern California my new home, Northern California is exactly where I ended up and stayed. Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan. But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a goal that seems right for now.
GEMINI May21–June20 If you were an obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your super yacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable. But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal. You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather. Do you know what I’m referring to? If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22
NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
The coming weeks will be a good time to fill your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams. You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies . . . sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food . . . dancing naked in semi-darkness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 “I have always wanted . . . my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an outdoor scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?” Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks. You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

The Passage du Gois is a 2.8-mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s under water. If you hope to walk or bike or drive across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically similar phenomenon in
your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next, you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it. The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it will be open and available.
LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wisconsin began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public. The product had a small problem, however. Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officially “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady. Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away—unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned . . . and then return to fully embrace it.” After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Go ahead and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions, and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy. I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn before now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S.: You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products. In 2006, he published a DVD called 77 Million Paintings, which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty—not particularly deep or meaningful. During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Do you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings. But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings. Take advantage of your aptitude!
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Greenland sharks live a long time—up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness. It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change. Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

county for the next 30 years must pay for a highway project that mostly benefits employed people who haul three to four empty car seats up and down the highway every day during the peak commute? This is the ultimate wastefulness. Just like water, we need to start conserving our flagrant waste of fuel and highway real estate. This article does not present a balanced view of Measure D. It relies on quotes from individuals, who, despite their optimism that congestion will go away, have no expertise concerning the true outcome of highway expansion. All of the studies and all of the widening projects have shown that congestion returns. That’s
because it’s not about the road, it’s about human behavior, and how we use a free resource. Those doctors will not be getting to their destinations any quicker, but a wider freeway will increase the pollution plume that flows into neighborhoods, parks, and schoolyards, and will increase the incidence of asthma and cancers in our community. It’s time that employers provide workers ways to reduce their solo driving and at least rideshare with co-workers. That would cut down on the number of cars, the amount of pollution, and the cost of transportation! — LIZ LEVY

All Together Now Young local cancer survivors find strength and inspiration in group support BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE
H
umans are inherently communal creatures, healthiest when we have strong social support. A 2010 review published in the journal PLOS Medicine found that across 148 studies of 308,849 participants, those with strong social relationships had a 50 percent increased likelihood of survival—on par with quitting smoking and even exceeding other well-known risk factors like obesity. In addition to receiving social support, providing it can also have a positive impact on health. A 2003 study published in Psychological Science found that mortality was significantly reduced in those who reported
providing support to their spouses, friends, relatives, and neighbors. Support groups for people dealing with chronic diseases like cancer are one context where both sides of the social support benefits are realized—and a 2009 systematic review published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research found “sufficiently strong” evidence for the relationship between social support and breast cancer recovery. But sometimes one person’s story can be more moving than the results of a thousand studies. Such is the case with Santa Cruz’s Rebecca Hall Dickson, who was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at the age of 25, and spent all of 2011 in treatment.
“My first diagnosis was extremely isolating,” she says. She remembers having difficulty connecting with others in her same situation. The turning point came when an organization called First Descents set her up on a week-long kayak trip with other young cancer survivors. “It was an amazing experience for me to be around other young survivors. They felt the fear, the anxiety, and the pain because they had been through it,” she says. Dickson said this group support meant a lot to her and her battle against the disease. “First and foremost it relieved the social isolation which often accompanies cancer,” she says.
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016
OMING IN ON HEALING Rebecca Dickson, a cancer survivor and founder of Santa Cruz Nature Yoga, understands the benefits of
“Getting through it with the help of a group is a night-and-day difference versus not having that group support.” It was during treatment that Dickson really fell in love with yoga, which was one of the only physical activities she could do at the time. “It helped me a lot mentally and gave me a lot of peace,” she recalls. After treatment, her cancer went into remission, but in 2014 it recurred and metastasized. Not even 30 years old, Dickson was now diagnosed with the most severe stage 4 breast cancer, considered incurable and requiring treatment for the rest of her life. “My second diagnosis really shook me up,” Dickson says, “but it reinforced how much I wanted to teach yoga and help other patients and survivors, because I know how much it helped me.” She combined her love of yoga, nature, and group support into her own business, Santa Cruz Nature Yoga, which places an emphasis on the rejuvenating benefits of practicing yoga outside. She now offers one free group class per month and one free private session per client through WomenCARE, a local nonprofit that provides support to cancer patients. Currently, Dickson says her health is good and she’s responding well to treatment. “Given that I’m stage 4, I’m doing extremely well,” she says. Looking to the future, Dickson is encouraged by the growing cancer support community, especially for younger survivors. In addition to WomenCARE and First Descents, Dickson’s friend April Stearns, another young breast cancer survivor from Santa Cruz, founded Wildfire Magazine (wildfirecommunity. org), a digital publication tailored specifically to young breast cancer patients and survivors. Dickson notes that social media is also a great source of group support. “I’ve turned more recently to social media, because my situation is so rare for my age,” she says. “It helps me not feel alone and gives me hope. In-person support is best, but the power of social media allows a worldwide sense of community. It is amazing to feel connected to hundreds of others in my same situation.” More info at santacruznatureyoga.com.

NEWS DROPPING ACID Thanks to lower neurotoxin levels, crab season starts on time, while experts try to make sense of last year
NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY CALVIN MEN
12
Fishermen loaded up their vessels with crab pots at the Santa Cruz harbor last weekend to brave the swells for the recreational crab season, which kicked off Saturday, Nov. 5. While the hobbyists got a head start, the commercial fishermen aren’t far behind, as the commercial crab season is set to open on Tuesday, Nov. 15—with no sign of delays in sight. Crabs for Thanksgiving and Christmas are a tradition in Northern California. But last year, that tradition came to a halt in Santa Cruz and elsewhere because of dangerously high levels of domoic acid, a neurotoxin and natural byproduct of algae blooms. The larger 2015 bloom began because warmer ocean temperatures had created the perfect conditions for the algae to thrive. “We describe it as essentially the toxin saturating the environment,” says Raphe Kudela, an ocean sciences professor at UCSC who monitors domoic acid levels locally. “It ended up showing up in anchovies, crabs and sediment. Pretty much all the different organisms.” As this year’s season gets underway, UCSC scientists and other experts are still trying to make sense of what happened last year. Domoic acid levels typically spike around April and taper off within a couple of months, but the 2015 bloom held through November, leaving high levels of the neurotoxin long after the bloom had finished. In response, state officials delayed last year’s opening date several times, pushing it from November to March, due to high domoic acid levels. While that delay spread up the Pacific, reaching parts of Canada and Alaska, it hurt California crabbers the most. Washington and Alaska saw catch decreases of roughly 22 percent and 33 percent, respectively, according to a joint report by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Fisheries Service. But in California, fishermen pulled in only 3.1 million pounds of Dungeness crab, a decrease of 83 percent from the 18.4 million pounds they hauled in during the 2014 season. The domoic acid levels also led to a surge in the number of marine mammal strandings. The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito saw 235 California sea lions and Guadalupe >16

for the first time in more than two years.
Homecoming Game
The Santa Cruz Warriors’ Cameron Jones on the difference between playing basketball here and overseas BY JACOB PIERCE
T
he first thing Cameron Jones, who returns to the Santa Cruz Warriors this season, did when he got to his hotel room at Hotel Paradox was set up his Xbox and play a few games of “Call of Duty.” In the world of professional basketball, video games are a huge part of players’ lives off the court. But not long after, Jones went down
to Las Palmas near the Santa Cruz Wharf, one of his favorite spots to eat, for some chicken enchiladas. In the past two years, most of Santa Cruz has stayed the same, the shooting guard says, although he was quick to notice the championship banner hanging in the Kaiser Permanente Arena, a reminder that he was 0-2 in the big game during his two years in Santa Cruz.
He even admits to feeling a little “pissed” when he first learned the Santa Cruz Warriors finally went all the way without him while he was playing overseas. “I was happy for the coaches. But the players, I was like, ‘Damn, I wanted to do that,’” Jones remembers. Jones first arrived in Santa Cruz via trade in November of 2012 shortly before the team began playing >14
Lock and Consolidate Now! Q: I took out an equity line on my home to consolidate credit cards. After hearing warnings about interest rates moving up, I’m afraid that the adjustable rate on the HELOC will move up and my savings will be gone soon. What should I do?
A: The Fed has said it will raise rates in December as long as there was no compelling NEW news to cause them to wait further. If we continue to see strong earnings, lower unemployment and new job creation, the Fed will undoubtedly raise rates .25% and the markets will factor this raise into bond and mortgage backed security prices— meaning rates MAY move up and they may move up further before they come down again. That makes NOW THE TIME TO LOCK IN LOWER RATES! GET RID OF DANGEROUS HOME EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT, WHICH WILL BECOME VOLITILE IN TIMES OF HIGHER RATES.

NEWS HOMECOMING GAME <12 at its newly constructed basketball arena on Front Street. A talented group, the team made it to the finals its first year in Santa Cruz, although they were swept by the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Due to rules that restrict how many players a D-League team can hold onto, Jones became one of Santa Cruz’s few returning players the following year and grew into a leadership role that showed the team to another championship, where they again fell short. Now after playing for two years in Greece, Israel and Russia, he says feels
at home in Santa Cruz, partly because his girlfriend—a Santa Cruz native who he met a couple of years ago—lives here. It’s Friday, Nov. 4, and Jones, the team’s all-time leading scorer, is speaking to reporters in a smallpress, conference-style gathering in the arena, a departure from previous years’ media days, when journalists talked to each player one on one. Gina Antoniello, the team spokesperson, says they streamlined things this year to make them more efficient and easier on the players’ busy training camp schedules. A blue and yellow banner blocks a view of point guard
Phil Pressey, who’s practicing lay-ups. The team’s first game of the season is on Saturday, Nov. 12 against the Los Angeles D-Fenders. Playing basketball on the other side of the world can often be trying, Jones found. The style there was often more physical, team politics were different, the fans could be rabid and security was relaxed. At games, onlookers would sometimes throw pennies on the court, and he saw a teammate get spit on. This year, Jones feels ready to have a strong season and says that, at 27, he’s the perfect age for the D-League—smart enough >18

More than 100 people worldwide, including several from Santa Cruz, will travel to Black Mesa, Arizona on Thanksgiving weekend to support the Navajo and Hopi people in their fight against relocation. The 1.8-million-acre mountainous mesa is home to ancestral lands that have been desecrated by two coal mines established in the late 1960s. More than 12,000 Navajo and Hopi citizens were forced to relocate after the 1974 NavajoHopi Land Settlement Act, a deal that Navajo leaders say favored coal companies and drew an arbitrary dividing line between the Navajo and Hopi nations. Today, hundreds of people on the land continue resisting in the face of a government strategy to “starve them out,” says Cat Wilder, a volunteer with Santa Cruz Indigenous Solidarity and Support (SCIS). The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Hopi police are forcibly taking their sheep, Wilder says, and they aren’t allowed to repair or build any structures. “The BIA is taking their herds. They claim it’s to prevent overgrazing, but they set the
limits in such a way that the people cannot subsist off their animals,” says Wilder, a community organizer and environmental educator. While the two nearby coal mines employ hundreds of Hopi and Navajo people, and provide millions of dollars to the Hopi and Navajo nations, activists and resisters argue it’s doing more harm than good. Wells are being poisoned by mining runoff, they say, and the sacred surrounding mountains have been blown up and mined out, while smog clogs the air, causing respiratory illnesses. “All the families we support don’t have electricity or running water,” says Wilder. “They are resisting forced relocation by continuing their traditional way of life and protecting their sacred spaces.” SCIS is hosting its ninth annual Santa Cruz fundraiser for families at Black Mesa on Saturday, Nov. 12, and will be sending about a dozen people with supplies during Thanksgiving week to help with tasks like sheep herding, repairing roads and hauling water. The group is looking for donations of building materials for fencing and roofing, tools like axes and chainsaws, laptop
computers, food and more. For a full list and information on how to donate, contact 831-7088199 or sheepandsagebrush@ gmail.com. Donations are accepted through Nov. 15. Wilder says their struggle against the coal industry mirrors activism happening nationwide, including in North Dakota, where tribes are fighting a muchpublicized oil pipeline: “We don’t see this as just about Black Mesa. Indigenous people are fighting for cultural survival and the survival of this earth.” The SCIS benefit dinner for the families of Black Mesa will take place from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Louden Nelson Community Center in Santa Cruz. There will be Native American speakers, food and short films. Admission starts at $5, with no one turned away for lack of funds. ARDY RAGHIAN
TREASURE GROVE Union Grove Music will close permanently at the end of 2016, its 44th year. Richard Gellis, owner of the downtown Santa Cruz store, has been overwhelmed and excited by the support he’s received since announcing his retirement this past week.
“I’m settling down to the stuff I enjoy the most,” says Gellis, who plans to keep music in his life. Music lovers lined up around the block Thursday morning in hopes of getting first pick of Union Grove’s discounted merchandise. The Pacific Avenue shop is in the process of liquidating everything in the store and will have an ongoing sale through Christmas Eve. More than 400 customers poured into the shop Thursday, Gellis says, many of them to thank him and congratulate him on retiring. Union Grove has held community events throughout the decades, including a 1990 event that set a Guinness World Record for the most guitarists playing the same song at the same time. The gathering was a benefit for earthquake disaster relief in response to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Over the years that followed, Union Grove continued to host large-scale music events to raise funds for music and arts programs in local schools. Looking ahead, Gellis is thinking about possibly opening a smaller shop, one that could serve as a hub for online vintage instrument sales, as well as repairs, to give him a more flexible schedule.

STORY WITH LEGS As this year’s crabbing season opens on time, researchers have just recently made sense of what caused last year’s unprecedented algal bloom—a
collision of El Niño and the so-called ‘blob’ in the Pacific Northwest.
DROPPING ACID <12 fur seals come in with signs of domoic acid poisoning in 2015, compared to around 70 in a typical year. Other animal rescue organizations reported similar spikes, according to Giancarlo Rulli, a spokesperson with the center. “As an apex predator in the ocean, they offer us a glimpse into the overall health of what’s going on out there,” he says, because the mammals sit at the top of the food chain. “If they’re coming in sick, it’s a reflection that the ocean itself is sick.” Environmentally, it took a perfect storm of odd weather conditions to create the warm ocean temperatures and large poisonous bloom.
Last year, El Niño, which typically means warmer waters near the equator and more rain in California, was accentuated by the so-called “blob,” a warm body of water in the Pacific Northwest. That blob developed because highpressure weather systems deflected storms that typically churn the ocean waters and cool the temperatures, explains Michael Jacox, a research scientist with UCSC and NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center. “For a couple winters in a row, we didn’t get that mix in. So that typical wintertime cooling didn’t happen and there was this buildup of heat,” he says. Jacox says the phenomenon is an anomaly, and not a new norm for ocean temperatures, although he adds, “The question then is
whether these kind of extremes happen more often as the climate changes. There’s some research that suggests this kind of thing will happen more often. Or the alternative piece is [that] even as things warm, that variability is on the warmer base line.” While the 2016 season did not repeat the 2015 season domoic acid crisis, it offered its own puzzling conditions—for instance, why did the toxic bloom start in June instead of April? “That was also worrying because, if we shifted everything, then you might actually impact the opening of the crab season again,” Jacox says. Fortunately for crabbers, the toxicity peaked in late September, and levels have been trending down since.
The state did issue an advisory for crabs caught north of Point Reyes because of sporadic detections of high neurotoxin levels, but domoic acid levels up and down the California coast are mostly in check. Kudela says the upcoming crabbing season is in good shape, so he and state officials aren’t expecting anything similar to last year. But he warns that the recent disruptions could be a sign of future shifts in the world’s climate— especially after 2015 went down as the hottest year on record. “I think it’s a pretty clear sign,” Kudela says. “We’ve never seen a warm blob like that before, and it’s restructuring the atmosphere and ocean. It’s not a natural phenomenon or else we would’ve seen something like that before.”

to run the plays, wise enough to handle the experience and young enough to keep up. He’s also the oldest player on what’s shaping up to be a very young Santa Cruz team. It’s also a team that has surprisingly few returning players. The group’s only player from last year is Terrence Drisdom, who averaged 7 points per game last season. Jones says that generally a change can benefit everyone involved, and after winning fewer than 40 percent of their games last year, a shakeup might be what the Warriors needed. “When you have all new guys it’s like a fresh start to what you can do,” he offers. Coach Casey Hill admits that starting over was part of the team’s approach in putting together a roster. “It was a little bit of that, a little bit of just the circumstances that we found ourselves in. A lot of the guys from last year ended retiring or deciding not to play this year,” he says. The young team has grasped concepts better than Hill thought they would, partly, he says, because of players, like Jones, who practiced last month with the Golden State Warriors, the team’s NBA affiliate, and they have since shown their new teammates how the offense works. The Santa Cruz team’s executives used the second overall pick in the draft to select Jaleel Roberts, a 7-foot-1 center out of UNC-Asheville. In conversation, the 24-year-old disarms with a warm smile and a selfdeprecating joke at his own expense. Hill says Roberts has the gifts of talented big men like Dewayne Dedmon who have come through Santa Cruz before having success in the NBA—length, athleticism and a good attitude. “When I look at him, I just see a big ball of clay,” Hill says. “The first thing in terms of being moldable is being a good kid. And that’s what he is—he’s a phenomenal kid. He’s got a good attitude and a good work ethic. I think for the most part, he’ll be able to really help us on the defensive side of things. I think offensively, he’ll come along.” The Santa Cruz Warriors play the Los Angeles D-Fenders at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12. Tickets start at $20.

Laughing Matters How I stopped joking around about joking around—and what I learned about humor By Maria Grusauskas
I
that feel as good as laughter, and ever since that cathartic dinner date, I’ve chased the feeling, like a lifeline tossed from a best friend, and plunged into a daily, selfadministered IV drip of podcast interviews (WTF with Marc Maron), books, YouTube clips (Maria Bamford and everyone else), Netflix specials (Ali Wong’s Baby Cobra) and stand-up comedy rooms on both coasts. As roast comic Jeff Ross said in a recent NPR interview: “Life is tough. And if we don’t laugh, our heads will explode.” So I began challenging myself to find something to laugh at every day. I’ll admit, it has taken the edge off the state of the world. “My mother used to say, ‘If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry,’” says DNA, a comedian and comedy promoter whose ascent into stand-up comedy coincided with the loss of his parents, grandparents, brother, and every single aunt and uncle except for one—his now-102-year-old Aunt Dot—before the age of 30. Unlike DNA, who began putting on comedy shows at the age of 5, I was born a melancholy child, and for those who can relate, it takes a concerted effort to take yourself (and life) a little less seriously. But if you were born without a funny bone, is it possible to implant one, later in
life? The short answer, according to most humorists, is yes. “A sense of humor is an attitude in how you approach your work and life. It is a skill that can be developed,” says award-winning humorist Jeanne Robertson. It’s a heartening message, and one repeated by the comics I interview, who promise “you can always get funnier.” Unfortunately, how to do such a thing is not so cut and dry. It involves trial and error, lots of stage time (if you’re a comedian), and being OK with the awkward silence of a joke missing its mark.
LAUGHTER OF THE APES Found throughout the mammal world, and well-documented in primates and rats, laughter is a behavior that’s intertwined with our evolution as a species. In mammals, it’s associated with tickling, play, and, most relevantly, with interaction. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are with other people, says Robert Provine, a neuroscientist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland, who also found that couples who laugh together report

t all began about six months ago in the San Francisco restaurant Fang, where I sat losing control of my bladder. The term “in stitches” fits best here, as I clung for dear life to the edge of the table—in a way I hadn’t done since my days at the kids’ table during family holidays— laughing in uncontrollable peals followed by noiseless, lungflattening convulsions. People looked up from their noodles to locate the source of this great, stillvivid laugh: My childhood friend, Emily, across the table from me, calmly reading the text messages she had received earlier that day from her boss, who happened to have been trapped in an elevator at the time. What was it about Emily’s story that made it so funny? Was it the story itself, with its tendrils of irony, which climaxed around the time the SFFD arrived with a ladder? Or her delivery: straightfaced, sparsely monotone, and perfectly timed? Or was it the fact that after three decades as best friends, I know Emily’s quirks and the intricacies of her mannerisms better than I know my own? All of it, I’ve decided. I can only think of a few things

<21 higher levels of satisfaction in their relationships, and stay together longer. “You laugh [with people] to show that you understand them, that you agree with them, that you like them, that you might actually love them,” says Sophie Scott, a British neuroscientist who explores the differences between posed social laughter and “helpless, involuntary laughter” in her Ted Talk Why We Laugh. When we laugh together, we are accessing “an ancient evolutionary system that mammals have evolved to make and maintain social bonds,” says Scott. That’s a powerful notion, but even more so when it’s applied to an unlikely population—like the inmates at Brazos County Jail in Texas, who had to behave well for a month in order to gain entry into Jeff Ross’s comedy performance there. “The women had not been spoken to as women in a long time, is what the jailers told me,” says Ross. “They’re spoken to as prisoners. We don’t humanize them. They don’t get to laugh like that, especially in a group. And I think it was cathartic for them, and that’s what they told me afterward, that the morale was really high.” “I think that’s the release with comedy, that no matter what we’re talking about, you laugh
communally as a group,” says DNA, who organizes local comedy shows through standupsantacruz.com. “And you can have two different dominant world paradigms, but you can still share in laughter, it’s just like music, it brings people together.”
NATURAL HIGH Laughter has been referred to as a medicine, or a drug, and in terms of its immediate effects—it is both. When we have a good laugh, our bodies respond in a most euphoric way: endorphins are released, blood pressure drops, stressful emotions are diffused, and our muscles relax for up to 45 minutes. It also causes the blood vessels in the heart to dilate—similar to what’s seen when we work out—which also reduces inflammation. In the long term, people with a strong sense of humor outlive those who don’t laugh as much, according to a study in Norway. The list of positive effects of laughter continues, but I’ll end it here with the only effect I could find that comes remotely close to being negative: a good laugh interferes with talking and breathing. And yes, though it’s rare, death by laughter—usually resulting from asphyxiation or cardiac arrest—has

been recorded, as in the case of 5th-century Greek painter Zeuxis, who is said to have died laughing at the way he painted Aphrodite, after the elderly woman who commissioned the piece insisted on modeling for it, too. (Personally, I can’t really think of a more joyful way to leave this world.) One of my happiest childhood memories is of the kids’ table at family holidays. Not the table itself—a collapsible card-table addendum to the adult table, placed strategically close enough for intermittent disciplining and parental green bean countdowns, but not quite close enough to pop the magical bubble surrounding it—but what happened there. At the time, my older cousins were the most hilarious people I had ever hung out with; endless dispensaries of well-timed one-liners, dares, and an annual riffing on grandma’s jello and marshmallow dish that never seemed to get old. We laughed. A lot. “Emotionally charged events like laughter trigger a dopamine release, which greatly aids memory and information processing,” writes biologist John Medina in his bestselling book Brain Rules. “You can think of it like a post-it note that reads ‘Remember this,’” writes David Nihill, in his book Do You Talk Funny?. It was at the kids’ table that I first experienced laughing so hard that milk spewed from my nostrils—something that not only ignited a high-decibel eruption of guffaws, but also a disapproving scowl from grandma. I’ll note here that it’s not really fair to scold children for laughing: genuine laughter, and any sort of bodily leakage that accompanies it, is
completely involuntary. “It’s almost like scaring somebody,” says Chad Opitz, a San Francisco-based comedian who got his start five years ago at the Blue Lagoon. “It’s also kind of based on surprise. It’s just an immediate response. If you tell a joke and no one laughs, it doesn’t work.” It’s also contagious as hell—and Opitz describes audiences that he can tell just aren’t ready to laugh yet. “People don’t want to be the first ones to laugh. But if other people are laughing, they’re just more comfortable with it,” he says. Interestingly, our capacity to discern genuine laughter from socially posed laughter doesn’t reach its peak until our late 30s and early 40s, says Scott, who thinks that laughter is less contagious as we age because we understand it better. In the same way that laughter serves as a highlighter in our memories—including helping comics remember the bits that worked best on stage—it attracts us to others. Funny people are perceived to be more attractive. It’s a common characteristic of managers and considered a competitive advantage in the professional world. “All of the companies stuck in the old mindset that work is work and shouldn’t be fun are getting left in the dust by the companies who embrace a fundamental truth: their employees are humans, and humans respond to humor,” says Andrew Tarvin, the humorist behind the company Humor That Works. In a world where 83 percent of Americans say they feel stressed at work, 55 percent are unsatisfied with their job, and 47 percent say they struggle to stay happy, Tarvin

<24 not only concludes that we could all benefit from more humor, he also puts a number on our present humor deficit: close to a trillion dollars in lost productivity and increased costs.
HARBINGERS OF HUMOR If laughter is a drug, then comedians are its prized dealers. Stand-up comedy rooms are like social petri dishes teeming with clues to humor’s innerworkings. Since at least 400 B.C, when cynics in Ancient Greece used the stage to tell the truth without censorship, comedians have risen to meet society’s craving for laughter—a job that even Will Ferrell has called “hard, lonely, and vicious.” So I visit them—Santa Cruz’s decade-old Thursday night comedy open mic at the Blue Lagoon; the knock-out Cheaper Than Therapy room in San Francisco; the tightly packed basement of New York’s Comedy Cellar, where a two-drink minimum is militantly enforced. But aside from a few promising theories—like using self deprecation to instantly get an audience on your side, or the ineffable variable of precise
timing—I quickly realize there is no simple formula. Sure, there are techniques passed around—words with ‘K’ are supposedly funnier, placing the money-word at the end of a joke packs a better punch, and using callbacks keep the laugh going—but comedy is a space where the woosh of rules being thrown out the window is an exhilarating pastime. Every comic, unless they’re a lowly “joke thief,” is a completely different animal, with their own affect, charm, and set of talents. And that, really, is the beauty of it. “You’re presenting your brain to people, your perspective, your viewpoint, and it’s no one else’s,” says Chad Opitz. “That’s why I got into comedy, so I could just do my own thing and not have to listen to anybody else.” What all successful comedians seem to have in common is an unapologetically strong sense of self. “The first thing you need to do if you want to make yourself funnier,” says DNA, “is figure out what makes you laugh.” Indeed, footage of Richard Pryor shows that he is constantly cracking himself up. But I’ve also seen a 5-minute set by a girl who laughed a fake, incessant laugh through her entire act—which
LAUGHING MATTERS unbreakable persona he admits grew exhausting at times.
KEEPING THE FROG ALIVE In 1941, E.B. White wrote in “Some Remarks on Humor” a statement that has over the years been boiled down to: “Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.” But my own quest to explain what makes funny funny has not been entirely futile. It’s revealed a few tricks, a deepened awe for those who do it for a living, and some fascinating insights into laughter’s important role as an antidote to the human condition. Across the board, humor seems to be less about one-liners and telling jokes, and more about making the choice to see the world in a different light—about accepting things about yourself that can’t be changed, and finding humor in situations around you, says Jeanne Robertson. “Things happen on a daily basis that are really funny, but often people let the funny stuff around them get away—either because they don’t notice stuff that’s funny, or they don’t make it a priority to look for it,” writes David Nihill in Do You Talk Funny?. Optiz and DNA, and surely all who devote their energies to bringing more laughter to the world, have made it a priority. Advertising is a rich area, says Opitz. But more often than not, it’s about finding levity in dark or difficult situations, often where people are angry—like traffic, says Opitz. Or a boss stuck in an elevator while a crowd of 300 shifts impatiently in their seats, waiting for her speech. “Just try to smile at [those things]. There is so much you could get upset about,” Opitz says. “But I’m just going to chuckle at it.” Through it all, the one thing I did not expect to find was this: there is no laugh like the one you have with (or at) someone you love. The ecstasy of such a laugh is, at least for me, impossible to recreate elsewhere.

made me wonder if she was on drugs or just really nervous, and she didn’t hold the audience for very long. Other comics stay deadpan serious, or, in the words of Stephen Colbert, “hide their erection” while the audience laughs. Because, let’s face it, the euphoria of laughter is a two-way street: it feels good for all parties involved. “Write a list. And if everything on there is like, funerals and horrible accidents, then you’re a really dark weirdo person—but that’s OK because there’s a lot of dark weirdo comedians,” says DNA. “It’s Shakespearean, be true to yourself.” It’s the same reason you’ll notice some comedians revealing their most intimate details— like personality virtuoso Maria Bamford’s material around mental illness and her time spent in a mental institution—while others are better at telling jokes about “toasters and blenders,” says DNA. It’s whatever works for you, whatever feels right. But comics don’t know if what they’re thinking or writing works on stage until they go on stage and test it. In the same way, several months of my own attempts to make co-workers laugh amounted to this rating by Jacob Pierce: “Yeah … I feel like you said something funny.” He’s a dry-humored guy, is what I like to think that means. “It’s hard because you have ego dissolution,” says DNA. “Your entire sense of self collapses every night and you have to rebuild piece by piece—well, not every night, but every comedian has a bad night, even Will Ferrell.” The only way to endure, it seems, is to maintain the ability to laugh at yourself. “If you can’t take a joke then you shouldn’t even try comedy,” says DNA. That’s something that came naturally to Opitz, an undeniable talent with a brilliant imagination, a shaggy, bearded appearance, and a long history of being the funny one. “It was a defensive mechanism. I was the chubby kid,” he says of his childhood, spent constantly placing himself at the butt of jokes—an

From intimidating young punk to masterful singer-songwriter, Neko Case has always made an impression BY STEVE PALOPOLI
S
inger-songwriter Neko Case is known now for her gorgeously heady music, but back in her early days, it was her fists that made an impression on Larry Livermore. In his autobiography How to Ruin a Record Label, the founder of the

legendary Bay Area punk imprint Lookout Records describes fleeing a club in fear one night in the ’90s when he thought Case was going to put them through his face. When I ask Case about it, I discover she didn’t know she was mentioned in Livermore’s book—and
I can practically hear her rolling her eyes through the phone. “I don’t really know Larry Livermore,” she says. “I’m sure compared to the community he hung around with, I was a little more—I don’t know, what’s the word—outgoing.”

<28 a lot with her mother and stepfather before leaving home as a teenager. She ended up in Tacoma, Washington, where the music scene gave her the support she didn’t have at home. “I didn’t really have parents, so I got into the punk scene early, like around 14,” she says. “Going into record stores and hanging out, that’s where you met other people.” With the internet still years away, there was a whole different way of relating to music. “The actual record store was the chat room, and it happened in real time, in real life,” she says. “You’d see other people there who you thought looked cool, and they were wearing a cool T-shirt, and you wanted to talk to them—and felt shy, but eventually you’d make friends. It just kind of became a community.” If the scene made an impression on her, she definitely made an impression on it, as proven by the 1990 song “Neko Loves Rock ’n’ Roll,” by Tacoma band Girl Trouble. But by 1993, she had moved to Vancouver and was performing with the “cuddlecore” band Cub, which is probably most remembered by those outside the scene for releasing the song “New York City” that would be famously covered by They Might Be Giants. (It is also remembered by Larry Livermore as the band Case was in when she terrified him during one of their tours through California. Does he realize he was lucky not to be the guy she actually punched one night while Cub was playing in Houston?) She was hired as a replacement drummer, but Cub is how Case got her first-ever experience singing on stage, and led to her forming the trio Meow. What’s remarkable is maybe not that she found punk, but what she got out of it. For one thing, although she started out in all-girl bands, some of the groups she admired taught her a different lesson about gender roles in rock ’n’ roll. “I really loved the Minuteman. It had a lot to do with the fact that they weren’t a boy band or a girl band or whatever the hell you want to call it,” she says. “They just were for people who thought about stuff. It wasn’t macho or feminine, they were well balanced. It was a thinking person’s punk band.”
&
That same ethos was reflected in the New Pornographers, the Vancouver band which features Case’s songs and vocals, but also those of fellow members A.C. Newman and Dan Bejar. The group seemed to become an instant indie-rock favorite upon the release of their 2000 debut, Mass Romantic, and Case has remained connected to it even after finding fame with her solo work. Considering all this history, it seems a bit ridiculous now that Case was pegged as an alt-country performer when her first solo record, The Virginian, came out in 1997. Certainly it was her most honkytonk-esque record—and her connection to country and Western does stretch all the back into her childhood, when her grandmother used to play it for her— but even then, at the same time that she was covering Loretta Lynn, she was also covering Queen. Thankfully, these days no one seems as determined to force a classification onto her sound, especially after the trio of haunted but kinetic records she’s made in the last 10 years: 2006’s Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, 2009’s Middle Cyclone and 2013’s The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You. Critics and fans are now more focused on her songwriting, which walks a line between desperately emotional and downright mysterious. She doesn’t mind that people read so many (sometimes pretty out-there) things into her lyrics; she deliberately writes them to leave room for interpretation. “My intention is often to get people engaged in the story, and maybe be able to put themselves in the story, because that’s what I really love in other people’s songwriting,” she says. “A lot of classic pop songs are written about things that are as popular as love or whatever, but they don’t give you a time or place, and they remain kind of magical somehow. Unfortunately, I’m a little wordier than somebody like Cole Porter, so mine are definitely little black holes of stories, little rabbit holes of stories.” Neko Case plays at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz natives the Le Boeuf Brothers take on Kafka and other literary inspirations on new album BY ANDREW GILBERT
N
ow that Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf have turned 30, it’s probably time to stop thinking about them as jazz wunderkind. The twin brothers from Santa Cruz have spent more than half of their lives as stand-out musicians, and they’ve been putting out remarkably mature work since their undergraduate years. In many ways, they’re pursuing increasingly divergent creative paths these days, which makes their collaborations richer, but ever more tricky. Pascal, a commanding pianist, and Remy, a reed expert who plays
oboe and bass clarinet as well as alto sax, bring their latest body of music to Kuumbwa Thursday when they conclude a six-city California tour celebrating the release of a striking new album, Imaginist. Inspired by various literary sources, it’s a richly textured chamber jazz session combining a top-shelf jazz quintet with a cutting-edge string quartet, and mellifluous narration by actor and UCSC professor Paul Whitworth. Unlike anything they’ve created before, Imaginist grew out of a grant Remy received to compose a suite inspired by “A Dream,” a short story
by Franz Kafka. Rather than limiting him with thematic confines, Remy discovered that the Kafka story liberated him. “I liked exploring the shape of text, thinking outside the box and avoiding routines and habits I’d found myself writing within,” he says. “I tried to be as true to the text as possible. I had to fill in all the colors.” For Thursday’s gig, the Le Boeufs are joined by bassist Martin Nevin and drummer Peter Kronreif, who share rhythm section duties on Imaginist, and Friction, a Bay Area string quartet championed by Kronos
Quartet featuring cellist Doug Machiz, violist Taija Warbelow, and violinists Otis Harriel and Kevin Rogers. Pascal came to the project after Remy was already deep into “A Dream,” and he approached his pieces by creating the musical equivalent of the surrealist poetic practice known as “exquisite corpse,” where sentences and verses are constructed via a collective process of addition. The concept came up when he was hanging out with Justin Brown “just listening to music, and we put something on Spotify and iTunes at the same time, two random songs that totally fit, something by Beak and some ambient thing I wrote,” Pascal says. On Imaginist, the “exquisite corpse” pieces are bracing, full of tension and unexpected synchronicities. “When we play them live it’s like two jam sessions, with lots of push and pull,” Pascal says. “It’s a very controlled, intentional process. I’ll specify the rules, but a certain amount of risk is important. The danger is the coolest part—that ‘wow’ moment when you see the poetry unfold.” While still deeply tied to the New York scene, Pascal is living in Princeton while pursuing a doctorate in composition, “focusing on this subject, bringing together new music with improvising jazz community and rock,” he says. “The idea is to allow everyone to be who they are, creating these hybrid forms where I can play to the strengths of many different people.” Based in Brooklyn, Remy has been focusing on composing for big bands due to a series of commissions. He’s toured with saxophonist/composer Bob Mintzer’s big band, and he’s writing arrangements for James Farm pianist Aaron Parks. Like his brother, Remy has walked on the rock ’n’ roll path with the Los Angeles indie rock combo Wildcat! Wildcat! “We opened for Dirty Projectors, and that was such an exciting experience, to stand on a stage and have 10,000 people cheering,” Remy says. “But there’s still nothing like playing your own music in an intimate club.” The Le Boeuf Brothers perform at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10 at Kuumbwa, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 427-2227.

In this new edition, the now 93-year-old author updated sections and added new recipes, along with a list of things she likes and a list of things she vehemently dislikes (kosher salt, fat-free dairy products, and GMOs). The book also chronicles four decades living in Mexico, plus family recipes from Britain and collected ones from around the globe.

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND ANCESTREE REGGAE
Back in 2010, Christopher Carr and several other locals musicians that would eventually make up local band Ancestree Reggae were just roommates. Everyone came from different backgrounds, but the one thing they had in common was a love for reggae music. It’s this connection that was the impetus for the band.
NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“We’re kind of a beautiful spectrum of cultures, backgrounds and identities. We’ve had players from Mexico City, we’ve had players from Brazil. We’ve had players from Israel. We have songs in multiple languages,” says bassist Carr. “We’ve always been trying to communicate how things are better when we can come together. It’s a message of unity.”
40
It wasn’t just that everyone in the band loved the music; the message lined up with all of their values. Ancestree Reggae songs are about love and harmony, but also tackle an array of political issues— including one about fighting Monsanto, for instance. “There’s that involuntary joy that comes when you get in the pocket of the one drop. We’re trying to find a way to get people to dance and feel good, but we also want to give them some medicine, and try to stir up the fire and use music as a message. Reggae is always good for that,” Carr says. Appropriately enough, there is no clear leader in the band. “We all sing and play multiple instruments.” Carr says. “We just want to keep that good vibe reciprocated, and keep growing.” AARON CARNES INFO: 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov, 19, Santa Cruz Cannabis Cup. Santa Cruz Veteran’s Hall, 2259 7th Ave., Santa Cruz. $35. 475-9804.

WEDNESDAY 11/9 CELTIC
ARCHIE FISHER Regarded as Scotland’s foremost folk troubadour, Archie Fisher has been an ambassador for Celtic music for the last 40 years. With roots in the rich British folk scene that birthed the Incredible String Band, John Renbourn, Steeleye Span and more, Fisher is a quiet standout of the genre whose work celebrates the beauty of the Scottish border country. Fisher’s song “The Final Trawl,” has been covered by numerous artists, including the Clancy Brothers. His most recent album, A Silent Song, was his first offering since 2008’s Windward Away. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $17/door. 335-2800.
THURSDAY 11/10 SKA
INSPECTOR & CALIGARIS Ska is huge in Mexico and South America. Seriously, bands there play
to giant crowds. Not to mention, the music has seeped its way into the mainstream vocabulary. Most rock bands play a little bit of pop, ska, reggae and cumbia. For anyone interested in seeing a little slice of this subculture, two of the best bands, Mexico’s Inspector and Argentina’s Caligaris, are sharing a bill at Moe’s Alley on Thursday. It’ll be an exciting show, particularly because this is an intimate setting for these groups, and these bands are sure to cut loose. Speaking Spanish isn’t a prerequisite for dancing your ass off to these super fun grooves. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 479-1854.
CALI-REGGAE
SLIGHTLY STOOPID Slightly Stoopid is a slightly stupid band name—luckily, the music is much better. The group was signed in the mid-’90s by Bradley Nowell of Sublime to his Skunk label. Certainly, Sublime was an influence on the band’s blend of reggae, rock, funk, dub, punk and hiphop. But Slightly Stoopid took the music in its own direction, and became a big influence on the emerging fusion-rich
Cali-reggae scene. The member’s hometown, San Diego, is a hot spot for cali-reggae—as is Santa Cruz. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $31.94. 429-4135.
FRIDAY 11/11 SURF ROCK
HOT TODDIES The Hot Toddies are Heidi, Erin and Sylvia, three best friends who have been playing music, drinking whiskey and writing songs together since 2005. The three women infuse their sunny brand of indie beach pop with high-pitched harmonies, a sense of humor, and guitar riffs reminiscent of early White Stripes. The Oakland-based trio’s lyrics represent a gender-role reversal; their female gaze reveals a feminine twist on teenage sexual angst. The lyrics for their song “Jaguar Love,” for instance, describe a young girl going on a joyride in an attempt to lose her virginity, and are delivered with so many sickly sweet shooby-doo-wops that you might miss the meaning.

With refreshing authenticity and openness, Hayes is one of the songwriting gems

John Mayall is a legend of British blues, a musical tradition a lot of American blues fans don’t entirely understand. It’s well known that his group the Bluesbreakers, which formed in the early ’60s, launched the careers of musicians like Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, and countless others. But it’d be more accurate to say that Mayall actually created the entire blues scene in England—a lot of young British musicians loved old American blues records, but he showed them that they could create their own version of it. While many of his protégées went on to create an exciting revival of rock ’n’ roll in the mid-to-late ’60s, Mayall stuck close to a traditional blues sound. AC
Raven Miyagi, and his most recent title, the Black Metal Terrorist. He’s a self-made underground hip-hop artist of the digital age, who gained a rapid grassroots following online when he released his first album at age 16, after being expelled from an arts high school in South Florida. He self-released a second studio album, Imperial, in March, and the single “Ultimate” was featured in an Adidas commercial. Curry will be joined in the Catalyst Atrium by artists Boogie, Yoshi Thompkins, and Sadistik. KATIE SMALL
Blending traditional styles, songs, instruments and stories from around the world with a deep passion for justice, Rising Appalachia is a “fiercely independent,” one-of-a-kind group. Led by sisters Leah and Chloe, who sing and harmonize in a single-voice style, Rising Appalachia has performed in a variety of unexpected settings, including inside rail cars, at an Italian street fair, to a group of Bulgarian herbalists and at renowned venues such as Red Rocks. The band brings an air of evolutionary consciousness to their music and an approach to life and art that celebrates simplicity and connectedness. CAT JOHNSON

FILM
ULTIMATE BETRAYAL Min-hee Kim and Kim Tae-ri in ‘Handmaiden,’ based on Sarah Waters’ novel, which unfolds in 1930s, Japanese-occupied Korea, ‘Fingersmith.’
Full Service NOVEMBER 9-15, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
Sex, lies, gender politics fuel twisty ‘Handmaiden’ BY LISA JENSEN
46
I
t may seem like an odd collaboration: bad-boy Korean filmmaker Chan-wook Park, famed for the violent male revenge melodrama Oldboy, and British author Sarah Waters, whose erotic thrillers are set in the Dickensian underworld of Victorian London. But it turns out to be a surprisingly happy matchup in The Handmaiden, Park’s Asian riff on Waters’ novel Fingersmith. Filmmaker and source material are both edgy in complementary ways. Gorgeously shot and composed, audacious, and full of witty visual asides, The Handmaiden is a sly entertainment of sex, larceny, deception, doublecrosses, and female liberation. Park shifts the locale to Japanese-
occupied Korea in the 1930s. SookHee (bright and lively Kim Tae-ri) is a young woman who’s grown up in a den of pickpockets and thieves, purchased from a “purveyor of stolen girls.” One of the gang leaders, a smooth-talking Korean who calls himself Count Fujiwara (Jungwoo Ha), picks Sook-Hee as his accomplice in an elaborate swindle. The mark is Kouzuki (Jin-woo Jo), a wealthy, middle-aged Japanese man living in splendor at a remote country estate. Kouzuki has been the guardian of his niece, Hideko— and her fortune—since she was 5 years old. Now that Hideko (Minhee Kim) is a poised young woman, the Count, a talented art forger, has secured himself a position as her
drawing tutor. He’s also arranged employment for Sook-Hee as Lady Hideko’s handmaiden. The plan is for Sook-Hee to assist the Count in persuading Hideko to run away with him. Once married, he’ll shut her up in a madhouse and claim her fortune for himself. Hoping to make her own fortune from her share of the take, SookHee agrees. Street-smart, but not especially sophisticated (she can’t read), she’s awed by Kouzuki’s grand home; half English Gothic, halfJapanese, with an immense library of rare books that she’s forbidden to enter, and the beauty of her new mistress—who’s surprisingly close to her own age. Sook-Hee feels protective of Hideko, whom she considers an
unworldly hothouse flower, and Hideko teaches Sook-Hee to read. Sook-Hee begins to feel twinges of remorse when the Count arrives, but not enough to deviate from their plan. This is just the jumping-off point for a plot that becomes more bold, twisty, and rewarding as it unfolds. Our shifting perception of the characters’ relationships to each other comes into play, along with the nature of those books that Hideko is required to read aloud to her uncle and his frequent gentlemen callers. (Park’s film could be a subversive co-bill with Miss Hokusai: both include the famed ukiyo-e print of a giant octopus pleasuring a swoony geisha, an image Park also references in one funny, fleeting visual gag.) You might want to skip this one if onscreen sex makes you uncomfortable. A less adventurous filmmaker might have cut some scenes shorter in the interest of discretion. But discreet filmmaking would miss the point of these scenes in all their stark, luscious abandon, as crucial to the storyline as they are, and shot from such interesting angles. The point is not only that the characters enjoy a sexual romp, but that it turns out to be a life-changing experience for both of them that also alters the direction of the plot. Park is canny enough to only reveal glimpses here and there as this intricate puzzle-box of a movie unfolds, saving the extended sequence for about three-quarters into the story, when it has the most impact. But there’s a lot more going on here than sex. The movie is divided into three parts, containing flashbacks as well as overlapping scenes replayed from different viewpoints, a trail of celluloid bread crumbs to help viewers navigate the labyrinth of the plot. Less violent than we usually expect from Park (although there will be blood), but no less wry and moral a worldview—in its perverse way—The Handmaiden considers colonial and gender politics with wicked aplomb. THE HANDMAIDEN ***1/2(out of four) With Kim Tae-ri, Min-hee-Kim, and Jungwoo Ha. Written by Seo-Kyung Chung and Chan-wook Park. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith, by Sarah Waters. Directed by Chan-wook Park. Rated R. 144 minutes. In Korean and Japanese with English subtitles.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ALMOST CHRISTMAS Aah, movies about dysfunctional families during the holidays … do they make us thankful for our own dysfunctional families, or just more fearful? David E. Talbert directs. Kimberly Elise, Omar Epps, Danny Glover co-star. (PG-13) 112 minutes. AMERICAN PASTORAL Swede Levov is a hardworking, respected family man who’s been a staple in his community for years. But it’s 1968, and his teenage daughter is becoming more and more politically radical. One day the bombing of a local building threatens to destroy everything Levov loves and has fought for. Aren’t teenagers just the worst? Ewan McGregor directs. Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, Dakota Fanning co-star. (R) 108 minutes.

BILLY LYNN’S LONG HALFTIME WALK Billy Lynn is brought back from Iraq after a harrowing battle that defines his career. He’s celebrated with concerts, parades, fireworks, the whole thing. But what really happened to his squad that day? Two-time Oscar-winning director of Life of Pi and Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee, directs this highly anticipated 120-frameper-second (five times faster than the average movie, the first time a studio has shot entirely at that rate) narrative of how America’s perceptions of heroism can contrast with the realities of war. Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel co-star. (R) 110 minutes. MOONLIGHT Imagine growing up in Miami’s black neighborhoods as a small boy—a boy who likes to dance instead of fight, routinely gets the crap kicked out of him, and has to take care of his single mother and avoid being swept up in the seduction of the streets. And who might be gay. Barry Jenkins directs. Mahershala Ali, Sheriff Earp, Duan Sanderson co-star. (R) 110 minutes. SHUT IN If Jacob Tremblay is too
scared to watch his own movie, then there’s no getting us into a theater seat for Naomi Watts desperately chasing a young boy (or his ghost?) around a creepy house with tiny hands jumping out of the dark. For those who are into that, proceed. Farren Blackburn directs. Naomi Watts, Charlie Heaton, Jacob Tremblay co-star. (PG-13) 91 minutes. SPECIAL SCREENINGS: Royal Opera presents “Cosi Fan Tutte,” 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 14. The Nickelodeon, 210 Lincoln St., Santa Cruz. Deconstructing the Beatles’ White Album, 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 16. Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM.
NOW PLAYING 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. 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 co-star. (R) 183 minutes. AQUARIUS Clara is a 65-year-old widow and retired music critic. She’s the only resident of the Aquarius building in Recife, Brazil, who refuses to leave the building when it’s bought by a company with different plans for the neighborhood. It’s a story of class, history and memory through Clara’s cold war with the company. Kleber Mendonça Filho directs. Sonia Braga,
Maeve Jinkings, Irandhir Santos costar. (NR) 172 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. DOCTOR STRANGE What if the material world was only one of many? In that case it’d probably be beneficial to have someone with a name like Dr. Strange to protect it. Scott Derrickson directs. Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams costar. (PG-13) 115 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. HACKSAW RIDGE Desmond T. Doss enlisted at the height of WWII, but he refused to touch a gun. He became the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the Medal of Honor. Mel Gibson directs. Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey co-star. (R) 171 minutes. THE HANDMAIDEN Spying, gossip, lust, love, fraud, secret romances, hidden plots, and a handmaiden. It’s got that modern edge and Chan-wook
Park grit; watch the preview and tell us you’re not tantalized. Chan-wook Park directs. Min-hee Kim,Jung-woo Ha,Jinwoong Jo. (NR) 144 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. 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. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Denzel Washington is the courier of righteousness and he’s raining down hell on savage thieves with the help of a ragtag group of gun men. This is actually a remake of a remake, as the 1960 Yul Brenner “original” was really the American version of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai. Antoine Fuqua directs. Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke co-star. (PG-13) 132 minutes. 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. 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. STORKS In this animated film, storks used to deliver babies, now they deliver packages for cornerstore.com—is this an allegory about the U.S. Postal Service? Adventure ensues when an order for a baby appears and the top delivery stork scrambles to fix the mistake. Nicholas Stoller, Doug Sweetland direct. Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell co-star. (PG) 89 minutes. TROLLS Branch is a troll living in a fortified survival bunker ... To protect against the indelibly chipper Poppy. Poppy is the leader of the Trolls, the happiest Troll ever born, and she’s out to rescue her friends from the Bergen. Walt Dohrn, Mike Mitchell direct. Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel costar. (PG) 92 minutes.

Talkin’ Turkey

Organic, non-GMO and heirloom turkeys available locally, plus Diana Kennedy’s Soif dinner BY CHRISTINA WATERS
T
urkeys, those oft-maligned, big-shouldered cousins of the winsome chicken, take center stage in many homes during the next two months. The crowning event in the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, turkeys have become subject to kinder, gentler treatment as they make their journey to our tables and delicious memories. While it’s fun to joke about how bland turkey meat really is, it’s equally fun to try to coax more spice into the meal that owes something, but not a lot, to a group of clueless English settlers
who might have starved to death save for the savvy of the resident natives. What was actually consumed on that first Thanksgiving day was certainly venison, wild duck, oysters, and cornmeal porridge. But in a few weeks, many will re-create their own childhood meal, very likely involving that big-breasted bird, the turkey. Here in costly paradise-by-thePacific we have access to plump and humanely-raised turkeys—non-GMO, organic, as well as pastured and heirloom. [Heirloom varieties can be derived from breeds with richer dark
meat and distinct flavor intensity.] If you decide to explore the more expensive heirloom turkeys you can plan on paying from $5 per pound, compared with Diestel non-GMO turkeys starting at $3 per pound. But, you would be supporting endangered varieties and showing your respect to the noble bird. Just food for thought. Over at Staff of Life, I spoke to Anthony Blanco, owner of the in-store Natural Meat & Fish department. “All of our turkeys are free-range, hormone and antibiotic-free,” Blanco
says. “Our organic and pastured turkeys are higher priced, and a bit more for the heirlooms.” Blanco added that Staff will brine your turkey at no cost, by request. “We make our own brine,” he adds proudly. “We are taking orders for holiday turkeys right now, and it’s probably best to come in to discuss your needs so that we can offer the best service.” Blanco recommends one pound per person “if you don’t want to have any leftovers,” he says. But if you do want leftovers, he suggests ordering 1.5 pounds per person. “At my house we like two pounds per person, so we can have lots of leftovers,” he says. While we were on the subject of holiday meals I asked how the upcoming crab season looked. “Right now Monterey Bay is registering almost non-detectable amounts of domoic acid,” Blanco says, “so we’re really good this year, compared to last. This season we’re on like Donkey Kong,” he predicts, poetically. More info at staffoflife.com. At New Leaf Market’s West Side butcher counter I was assured that Diestel turkeys—which used to be called Heidi Hens—are available in organic as well as heirloom varieties. “The easiest way to order is just to go online and you’ll find lots of choices,” a spokesman tells me. Indeed, there is a Thanksgiving pre-order site that lists many choices of fresh, uncooked birds from “All natural” Diestels ($2.79/ lb) to organic ($4.29/lb) to organic heirlooms (a mix of Auburn, Black, and American Bronze turkeys for $4.99/lb.) And of course you can also order brined, smoked, fully cooked, organic brown and serve, and lots of different turkey breast variations. Click one, then select size, quantity, pick-up place and day, give your name, phone number and email address and you’re styling. More info at newleaf.com.
THIS JUST IN! The menu that Soif chef Mark Denham has created for the Nov. 15 Diana Kennedy dinner includes the mouthwatering possibilities of rustic pressed pork confit, local abalone, Sonoma duck breast, and dark chocolate-pear torte. With matching wines, the $150 dinner includes tax, tip and a signed copy of Kennedy’s culinary memoir Nothing Fancy. Soif. Call quick! 423-2020.

I
was 15 the first time I tried European hot chocolate, in a small café tucked away off the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. From the first sip, that tiny, decadent cup changed what I thought chocolate could be. Now, Cacoco Drinking Chocolate has opened my mind again. A 4-ounce cup of their spicy, dark Fire Walker chocolate has become my favorite afternoon pick-meup. Naturally rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, it also contains the undetectable additions of reishi mushroom and rhodiola root, both said to promote health and vitality— making Cacoco much more nourishing than the bar of chocolate I keep in my desk. All it needs is hot water and a good shake in a Mason jar. By blending their minimally processed cacao with organic superfood herbs and spices, like cardamon, turmeric and maca, Cacoco moves away from confection and into the food-as-medicine realm, without sacrificing flavor or texture. Each cup is a beautiful molten delight. Cacoco also doesn’t contain any dairy, is made with a small amount of lowglycemic coconut sugar, is organic and non-GMO, gluten-free, paleo and
vegan. People talk about guilt-free chocolate, but this is the real deal. Co-owners Liam Blackmon, Tony Portugal and Erik Koon, who process and blend their cacao at a local kitchen facility, tell me that they set out “to make chocolate that makes you feel good.” “We want to bring the history and tradition of this rich, vital food into a contemporary setting,” says Portugal. Their attention to detail extends beyond the quality of their chocolate. All avid outdoorsmen, Portugal, Blackmon and Koon apply the “leave no trace” philosophy to every aspect of their product. They visit the farms where their cacao is sourced to survey environmental factors, and their beautiful, Mayan temple-inspired packaging is made from compostable materials without adhesive—so when you’ve poured your last cup you can throw the whole thing, including the bag, into the compost. Cacoco is launching a Kickstarter campaign on Nov. 14 to help fund the next round of packaging and to source more cacao. More info at drinkcacoco. com.

VANN GO Hunter Hill’s Syrahs show off Vann Slatter’s winemaking skills.
Hunter Hill
A Syrah on sale, plus an Albacore Feed and a Wine Walk BY JOSIE COWDEN
A
t a get-together with my Wild Wine Women group at the start of fall, we had lunch at Hunter Hill Vineyard at the invitation of Christine Slatter, co-owner of the winery with her husband Vann. It was a last hurrah for Christine as she and Vann decided some time ago to sell the winery—lock, stock and barrel. Our chef that day was the talented Anthony Kresge, who is back in town to operate Sotola Bar & Grill in Capitola—formerly the Stockton Bridge Grille. Not only did Kresge prepare some outstanding food for us, we also had some marvelous Hunter Hill wines with every course, including Hunter Hill’s lush Estate Syrah 2013. Paired with chicken from Fogline Farms, it was a perfect match with Kresge’s culinary expertise. This estate Syrah is grown on the highest elevation of the vineyard and really shows Vann Slatter’s skills as a winemaker.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES AMERICA—A CURIOUS, FASCINATING AND FRAGILE VENTURE This column was written prior to the Nov. 8 election, so I cannot comment on who was elected. Whoever is our republic’s president, half of us are happy and the other half are not. So much was happening behind the scenes leading up to our vote, much of which we didn’t know. It was like the beginning of a second American Revolution—so much conflict, chaos and dissention. Let us again review, in order to understand, the purpose of crisis, conflict and chaos. There is a natural rhythm we experience on Earth—crisis, polarization and a sweep into the next reality. Conflict and chaos are the tensions needed to push us forth into the next level of harmony. Mars, Pluto (both rulers of Scorpio) and Uranus in Aries play their parts. Pluto lifts all that’s hidden into the light. Mars’ tests strengthen our discernment. Mars enters Aquarius Tuesday night, summoning the “people’s voices.”
Scorpio, always the bellwether (voting day in Scorpio), gathers everything—personality, soul and the spirit of all things. It fuses, blends and lifts everything up to the light of day. Simultaneously, as Pluto in Capricorn brings a transformation to our government, Uranus in Aries “brings forth all things new.” These two, Pluto and Uranus, prepared us for this election seven times. Alexis de Tocqueville described our America as a “curious, fascinating, fragile venture.” It still is. We need to be reminded of this often. In the aftermath of the elections, let us remember to remain observing, compassionate, loving, humble and kind. In “Humble and Kind,” Tim McGraw sings: “Hold the door, say ‘please,’ say ‘thank you’ / Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie /I know you got mountains to climb /But always stay humble and kind.” Let’s listen together.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
Things unusual and otherworldly are occurring to Aries. Avoiding large groups in order to maintain a comfort level allows you to stabilize unimpeded. If in too large a crowd, confusion results. Safety of heart and mind become important. The most comfort now is through technology, social media, where like-minded others understand you. All Aries are changing. Finding true peers and their true voice.
You’ve had many life experiences; many relationships, hardships, abandonments, changes and transformations. At times, these can feel life-threatening. However, as you reflect on them, you see how each has prepared and strengthened you for who you are now. A goodness, an understanding of values, a recognition of your abilities, emerges. Like Venus (Libra’s ruler) rising at sunset to herald the night, you have become the bright and shining evening star.
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
Someone in particular is prominent in your life and you communicate from your heart that you care. You are serious, unhurried, and subtle. However, your intentions are understood, received and reciprocated. This calms you and brings you to a state of balance, which has been needed by you for some months. Now you can continue with the world work.
During Scorpio Sun it’s good to assess what you value, who you value, and why. This is most important because in all Mystery Schools one enters their studies with the axiom, “Know Thyself.” The stars and planets reach down to us daily, helping us to know and understand ourselves. Some of the signs are able to comprehend this more easily (Scorpio and Pisces). Actually, Jupiter has made you into a bit of a Pisces lately!

It’s time to reach out to those both near and far, communicating with them your recent thoughts, hopes, plans and goals. You’re to be like a great wind that blows all of the amber leaves from the trees and on that day everyone knows winter is near. You are to communicate in such a way that people’s lives change in an instant. Are you traveling somewhere soon?

READ GOOD TIMES ONLINE AT
GoodTimes.SC
You remember trips taken long ago with a loved one. You took time away from home then, discovered new places. And now, you ponder upon future travel plans, not wanting your life to be restricted and/or too filled with responsibility. Home these days feels expansive enough, solitude feels joyful. You have plans for where you live and consider creating a colorful theme garden in the summer.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Something you read, study, come across—some words, insights, philosophy, teachings, perhaps a teacher—not like a shadow but like a sunbeam, falls across your path and suddenly your life is illuminated and expanded. Someone is in your life and their acts of service are recognized, appreciated and acknowledged by you. You realize love’s been there all along. You have been distrustful. Now you’re not.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Perhaps you’re feeling a bit wounded. There’s something that must be understood at the heart of the matter, meaning within your heart. Are you working too hard, thinking too much or holding ancient self-criticism? Recognize those in your world that you respect, honor and look up to. Make a list. Realize we love those we are most alike. This revelation allows you a true reflection of self. You are them.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You are to go out and about into the community, observing quietly for ways to serve others. It will bring you great enjoyment and benefit, possibly meeting someone of great magnetic charisma, charm and power. If you gather up your ideals and apply them to what your community needs, you’ll find there’s a great need that only you can fulfill. Have the intention to encourage and value others. Soon you will go into silence.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 The holiday season is about to begin. After helping those in need, after sudden events pushed you into unexpected travel, unexpected sadness, you may want a bit of solitude. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the world you remain behind veils of privacy and protection. This is good and the appropriate choice especially for the family. And then, you step out into the world in service. Asking always, what is best for your heart to do?
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 An event places you in different surroundings. You find you must learn new ways of being. Perhaps a new (old) career emerges, travel takes precedence, rest, too—all part of your next developmental stage. Is there a wound about something in form disappearing, dissolving into the great abyss of change? Having less prepares you for more opportunities, and later, more happiness. When you can again feel at home.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Quietly, opportunities arise to manifest in the New Year. For now you are to begin preparations. Eliminate, clear out, give away what’s not needed. New people, part of the new opportunities occurring next year, will enter your life. Maintain simplicity and confidence now. Travel is probable later—here, there, everywhere. You meet a loved one in the middle. The work you will do illuminates others. It’s seen and recognized.

WHEREAS, the City of Santa Cruz is experiencing a severe shortage of rental housing in both single family homes and apartments, including loss of rental units and displacement of tenants as existing housing is being converted to vacation rentals, and WHEREAS, newer online technology allows the marketing of short term/ vacation rentals to a larger audience than in the past; and WHEREAS, increasing numbers of short term/ vacation rentals have raised concerns about the preservation of residential neighborhood character and integrity such as decreasing long-term rental opportunities and increased rents for local residents; and WHEREAS, the City has received an increasing number of complaints about short term/vacation rentals related to loud late-night parties, and increased traffic and parking issues; and WHEREAS, the City will be conducting a community dialogue on the issue of short term vacation rentals which may led to a consideration of an amendment to the City’s zoning code; and WHEREAS, additional planning and research is necessary before the City considers any permanent regulation regarding appropriate uses in districts that allow residential uses; and WHEREAS, any such regulations adopted by the City may require review and certification by the California Coastal Commission before they could, if adopted, take effect within the Coastal Zone area of the City; and WHEREAS, allowing the proliferation of short term/ vacation rentals to occur during the period that regulations are considered by the City Council and the California Coastal
Commission would conflict with public health, safety and welfare needs of the community; and
WHEREAS, based on the foregoing it is in the best interest of public health, safety and welfare to allow the staff and the City time to adequately study the land use issues related to short term/ vacation rentals; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare associated with the proliferation of short term/ vacation rentals and that the approval of additional use permits, variances, building permits or any other applicable entitlement or change of use from a residence for their new use as a short term/vacation rental while staff and the City conduct the aforementioned study would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Santa Cruz as follows: Section 1. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858, from and after the date of this Ordinance, a moratorium against the establishment of short term/ vacation rentals in a housing unit or duplex not occupied by the owner of that housing unit or duplex anywhere within the City of Santa Cruz is hereby enacted for a period of 45 days pending further study by City staff and development of appropriate regulations. This moratorium shall apply to any use which has not yet been lawfully established in accordance with all applicable requirements of the City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code, and which has not yet obtained substantial vested rights as defined by the California Supreme Court in Avco Community Developers, Inc. v. South Coast Regional Com. (1976) 17 Cal.3d 785.
Section 2. This interim ordinance is necessary in that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of any applicable entitlement for short term/vacation rentals which are required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare as discussed above. Section 3. This interim ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060(c) (2) – the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and Section 15060(c) (3) – the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Section 4. This interim ordinance shall be of no further force and effect upon the expiration 45 days after the date of adoption, unless extended in accordance with Government Code Section 65858. Section 5. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its final adoption. PASSED FOR FINAL ADOPTION as an Urgency Interim Ordinance this 25th day of October, 2016, by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Noroyan, Lane, Terrazas, Posner; Vice Mayor Chase; Mayor Mathews. NOES: Councilmember Comstock. ABSENT: None. DISQUALIFIED: None. APPROVED: ss/Cynthia Mathews, Mayor. ATTEST: ss/Bren Lehr, City Clerk Administrator.

What do you enjoy cooking? MARIA: “Everything. Last night it was a bolognese sauce. We’ll do Asian foods, lots of salads, veggie and beef tacos, lasagna, stews, soups…” TAI: “We appreciate the highquality products from Shopper’s meat department such as the marinated skirt steak, spare ribs, chicken, and more. The butchers are very knowledgeable and great with tips and cooking techniques.” MARIA: “I do lot of shrimp and prawn salads, and the crab, when in season, is fabulous. We completely trust that Shopper’s seafood will aways be fresh. That’s so important.” TAI: “We really like the local fish, especially the salmon.”
Buying local is important? MARIA: “Oh yes. Like with their produce: though an item may not be organic, if it’s local it’ll be the best quality. Shopper’s carries a lot of community-made products, including the coffees, breads, eggs, chocolates, fresh pasta, pesto, and more.” TAI: “Shopper’s has everything — If they don’t carry it you don’t need it! It’s also the easiest store to navigate, even during the holidays.” MARIA: “That’s true — it’s one-stop shopping: I always get a Diestel turkey and hams here; also yams, sausages, veggies, and stuffing. I make my own pies from scratch.” TAI: “This is absolutely the best market, for value and family atmosphere”
How so? TAI: “The staff is super friendly! The checkers and butchers have known us before our girls, Tallulah and Chloe, were born — they’ve watched them grow up.” MARIA: “When our daughters were younger we knew this was a safe environment for them to walk around by themselves. We’ve always felt welcomed. I like Shopper’s variety as you have options. You can find all the basics here or upgrade to a higher level.” TAI: “They have a great wine selection — we especially like the merlots and pinots — with nice price points.” MARIA: “They now carry a rosé aperitif by Lillet. I requested it. I feel like they got it just for me!”
