OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE It’s a tradition around here to do something special for Valentine’s Day. A lot of times it’s a story about something snarky, like a really terrible worst date (oh, junk trunk, we remember you) or a rundown of hilarious Valentine’s-related crimes. I know, I know, we have serious issues, but in our defense we did let Lily Stoicheff do that really sweet defense of Valentine’s Day one time. Anyway, nobody on staff seemed to in the mood for silliness this time around. Except Jacob Pierce—he’s kind of always in the mood for a little silliness, which makes his interview with UCSC grad (and star of the KPIG Valentine’s Day show) John Craigie about all things romantic a lot of fun. A theme of how love and art intersect snakes through the whole issue. In the cover story, Maria

SAVE THE ACA

Re: “State of Mind” (GT, 2/1): What a clear, wonderfully written article with such good interviews of Hugh McCormick and Erik Riera. I really hope that the ACA is not destroyed. So many people needed good care for mental health and substance abuse issues and the ACA finally brought about so many positive changes. A very good article. SARAH LEONARD | APTOS

REPRISALS LEGAL? Sanctuary reprisals may not be legal, according to Bill Ong Hing, a professor of law at USF and founder of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center: “Ironically, the Republican assault on Obamacare may prove to be the basis that courts use to reject efforts to defund sanctuary cities.” The Supreme Court “struck down one provision of the health reform law that is relevant to whether blocking federal funds to sanctuary cities is legal … Threatening to cut off federal funds to sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement runs into

Grusauskas profiles Helen and Newton Harrison, a couple who have dedicated their lives to each other, and to the ecology-themed art and philosophy that made them famous. Famous outside of Santa Cruz, that is. I always like when we highlight locals who are known nationally and internationally, but somehow not right here at home, and the story of the Harrisons’ partnership is a remarkable one. I also interviewed an internationally renowned Santa Cruz figure this week, Frans Lanting. Anyone who knows Lanting knows that his relationship with Chris Eckstrom is fundamental to his life and work. Since I’ve written specifically about their close bond in the past, I didn’t focus on it in this week’s story. Instead, a different kind of love seemed to rise to the fore as I wrote about their two shows this week at the Rio—like the Harrisons, their passion for the natural world and dedication to preserving it is a relationship model we can all be inspired by this Valentine’s Day.

HAUNTED APTOS Re: “Haunted Santa Cruz” (GT, 10/26): Here is a late tidbit about how the spirits of the past make themselves known: Mr. and Mrs. Martin Jongeneel were original owners of a small Aptos home built in 1927 where Ma Maison and other restaurants have resided. A newspaper article written in 1948 states in part, “The house, like its mistress, is a gracious place. Here, either singly or by the dozen, Mrs. Jongeneel’s friends drop in for musical evenings, some of her famous soup, or just to absorb a little of her happy spirit.” When asked if she herself had felt that spirit, Ma Maison owner Janet Le Morvan said, “Sometimes at night when I am closing the restaurant and turning the lights

MARCHING GIFT

HERE’S THE CATCH

As congressional leaders show more interest in paying a billion dollars for a wall in the middle of nowhere than protecting women’s health, Santa Cruz activists are springing into action. In response to nationwide Defund Planned Parenthood rallies, supporters of Planned Parenthood are holding a rally of their own. Organizers are asking participants to show up to the wall along New Leaf by Soquel Avenue at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11, wearing pink.

All this rain means nothing without some place to put it. The City of Santa Cruz’s reservoir has been full for weeks, and for agencies relying on groundwater, basins can only fill up so fast. That’s why the Scotts Valley Water District used grant funding to install a rain catchment system at the bus station this past fall, and final touches are still being completed. The water is allowed to percolate down into the Santa Margarita Aquifer below.

LOCAL TALK

Are marches and protests effective? BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

If they are big enough and peaceful, they get the message across. MAREIKE BADSTUEBNER SANTA CRUZ | STUDENT

I think there is a better way to voice your opinion. I think that it’s actually more negative than positive. DJ WRIGHT SANTA CRUZ | DRIVER

Yeah, but it depends on the PR—how it’s presented, the coverage. JARED HALL TRAVELER | TANKER DRIVER

JOE LYNAM SANTA CRUZ | UNEMPLOYED

Absolutely. It’s a good way to get people united and know that you are not alone in how you feel. DONNA BRONSTEIN SANTA CRUZ | AQUAPONICS FARMER

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017

Peaceful marches and protests are effective. It’s when people start causing trouble and destroying people’s property that it’s bad.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of February 8 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Your reputation is in a state of fermentation. Will this process ultimately produce the metaphorical equivalent of fine wine or else something more like pungent cheese? The answer to that question will depend on how much integrity you express as you wield your clout. Be as charismatic as you dare, yes, but always in service to the greater good rather than to self-aggrandizement. You can accomplish wonders if you are saucy and classy, but you’ll spawn blunders if you’re saucy and bossy.

Even if you’re not an occult wizard or pagan priestess, I suspect you now have the power to conjure benevolent love spells. There’s a caveat, however: They will only work if you cast them on yourself. Flinging them at other people would backfire. But if you do accept that limitation, you’ll be able to invoke a big dose of romantic mojo from both your lower depths and your higher self. Inspiration will be abundantly available as you work to reinvigorate your approach to intimacy and togetherness.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Using a blend of warfare and diplomacy, Napoleon extended French control over much of Western Europe. In 1804, he decided to formalize his growing sovereignty with a coronation ceremony. He departed from tradition, however. For many centuries, French kings had been crowned by the Pope. But on this occasion, Napoleon took the imperial crown from Pope Pius VII and placed it on his own head. Historian David J. Markham writes that he “was simply symbolizing that he was becoming emperor based on his own merits and the will of the people, not because of some religious consecration.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you have the right to perform a comparable gesture. Don’t wait for some authority to crown you. Crown yourself.

GEMINI May21–June20 Have you heard the fable about the four blind men who come upon an elephant for the first time? The first man feels the tail and declares that the thing they’ve encountered must be a rope. The second touches one of the elephant’s legs and says that they are in the presence of a tree. The third strokes the trunk and assumes it’s a snake. Putting his hand on a tusk, the fourth man asserts that it’s a spear. I predict that this fable will not apply to you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t focus on just one aspect of the whole and think it’s the whole. Other people in your sphere may get fooled by shortsightedness, but you will see the big picture.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 For now, at least, your brain is your primary erogenous zone. I suspect it will be generating some of your sexiest thoughts ever. To be clear, not all of these erupting streams of bliss will directly involve the sweet, snaky mysteries of wrapping your physical body around another’s. Some of the erotic pleasure will come in the form of epiphanies that awaken sleeping parts of your soul. Others might arrive as revelations that chase away months’ worth of confusion. Still others could be creative breakthroughs that liberate you from a form of bondage you’ve wrongly accepted as necessary.

Human beings upload 300 hours of videos to Youtube every minute of every day. Among that swirling flow is a hefty amount of footage devoted exclusively to the amusing behavior of cats. Researchers estimate there are now more than two million clips of feline shenanigans. Despite the stiff competition, I suspect there’s a much better chance than usual that your cat video will go viral if you upload it in the coming weeks. Why? In general, you Leos now have a sixth sense about how to get noticed. You know what you need to do to express yourself confidently and attract attention—not just in regards to your cats, but anything that’s important to you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I know you haven’t literally been wrestling and wrangling with a sweaty angel. But if I were going to tell a fairy tale about your life lately, I’d be tempted to say this: Your rumble with the sweaty angel is not finished. In fact, the best and holiest part is still to come. But right now you have cosmic permission to take a short break and rest a while. During the lull, ratchet up your determination to learn all you can from your friendly “struggle.” Try to figure out what you’ve been missing about the true nature of the sweaty angel. Vow to become a stronger advocate for yourself and a more rigorous revealer of the wild truth.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Here’s some advice from Scorpio writer Norman Rush: “The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.” It’s understandable that a language specialist like Rush would make the final word of the previous sentence “reading.” But you might choose a different word. And I invite you to do just that. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to devotedly carve out more time to do The Most Important Thing in Your Life.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sixteenth-century Italian painter Titian was renowned for his brilliant use of color. He was also prolific, versatile, and influential. In 2011, one of his paintings sold for $16.9 million. But one of his contemporaries, the incomparable Michelangelo, said that Titian could have been an even greater artist if he had ever mastered the art of drawing. It seems that Titian skipped a step in his early development. Is there any way that your path resembles Titian’s, Sagittarius? Did you neglect to cultivate a basic skill that has subtly (or not so subtly) handicapped your growth ever since? If so, the coming weeks and months will be an excellent time to fix the glitch.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Our obsessive use of digital devices has diminished our power to focus. According to a study by Microsoft, the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds—one second less than that of a typical goldfish. I’m guessing, though, that you Capricorns will buck this trend in the coming weeks. Your ability to concentrate may be exceptional even by pre-internet standards. I hope you’ll take opportunity of this fortunate anomaly to get a lot of important work and play done.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 The time is now, Brave Aquarius. Be audacious about improving the big little things in your life. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “big little things.”) For example: Seek out or demand more engaging responsibilities. Bring your penetrating questions to sphinxlike authorities. Go in search of more useful riddles. Redesign the daily rhythm to better meet your unique needs. Refuse “necessary” boredom that’s not truly necessary. Trust what actually works, not what’s merely attractive. Does all that seem too bold and brazen for you to pull off? I assure you that it’s not. You have more clout than you imagine. You also have a growing faith in your own power to make subtle fundamental shifts. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “subtle fundamental shifts.”)

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “Love does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person,” wrote the poet Rilke, “for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished, and still incoherent?” That’s an excellent meditation for you to entertain during the Valentine season, Pisces. You’re in the right frame of mind to think about how you could change and educate yourself so as to get the most out of your intimate alliances. Love “is a high inducement for the individual to ripen,” Rilke said, “to become something, to become a world for the sake of another person.” (Thanks to Stephen Mitchell for much of this translation.)

Lock NOW On Reverse Mortgages or Refinances Q: Now that rates have gone higher, how long must we wait to get a loan under 4%? Should we refinance to consolidate our home equity credit line if it is doming due in the next year? A: Rates have moved up a bit, may move up further in the next year or years—BUT RATES WENT DOWN A BIT ON THE “TRAVEL BAN” that took the global corporate world by surprise. With a hazy view of the future of rates it is still true that TODAY’S INTEREST RATEs DESERVE A LOOK FROM ANYONE WHO HAS A RATE OVER 3.875% ON A 15 YEAR LOAN AND OVER 4.125% ON A 30 YEAR LOAN.

Anyone with a credit line coming due in the next few years, anyone who needs to consolidate debt for any reason and anyone who wants to pull cash out for any reason –LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE—Now may be the last best time to refinance your mortgage in the next few to several years. Call me with questions at 831-475-2600 or on cell at 831-818-7700. Q: Is there a better or worse time to apply for a reverse mortgage? Does it matter who we go to? Anything we should know before we start looking at a reverse mortgage? A: With rates having moved up a bit and threatening to move more I would have to say that NOW is the best time to apply for a reverse mortgage. Even reverse rates go up when interest rats rise so good to get it locked in while rate and terms are STILL AMAZING. It totally matters where you get your reverse mortgage and who you work with IF YOU CARE ABOUT GETTING THE MOST MONEY AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE RATE WITH THE LOWEST POSSIBLE FEES.

A: How far rates move up and how much a faster growing economy stimulates home buying are currently pending statistics. My advice to buyers is to buy if you find the right property at a price your Realtor thinks is good and refinance NOW if you need to or if you can save money. Waiting may not be the best strategy for anyone.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ‘STATE OF MIND’ People who experience mood swings, fear, voices and visions will still be available to each other even if federal insurance fails. The peer-led Client Action Network (mhcan.org) has been a county resource for 20 years. Instead of being 98-percent dependent on federal funding for behavioral health services, let’s continue to diversify our strategies and our income streams. Thank you for highlighting these important issues. — SYLVIA CARAS

Don’t forget the impact on local Marriage and Family Therapists who have a very similar set of skills as Licensed Clinical Social Workers. We can accept Medi-Cal in our private practices and are a crucial part of the new mental health system. I shudder to think of my clients losing their therapist due to repeal of the ACA, and my ability to make a living as a therapist is threatened severely. — VAL BYRNE

NEWS THANKS FOR THE RIDE Veterans Resource Center teams up with SCPD to help at-risk vets with courtesy ride program BY JACOB PIERCE

Feeling the Bite

Cabrillo’s dental program, which serves thousands, survives another year—but questions remain BY LEONIE SHERMAN

hen Nondo Estrada left behind a 401k and a career in management at UPS to become a dental hygienist, he researched education options carefully. His brother had been diagnosed with early stage cancer by an observant dental hygienist, an event that had shown Estrada the power of a public health career and inspired him to go back to school. “I went to orientations at Carrington, Foothill and Cabrillo,” he says. “I chose Cabrillo because they seemed so interested in the success of the students.” But ever since the state changed rules on repeatability at community

colleges, the future of Cabrillo’s Dental Hygiene Program and the accompanying Dental Hygiene Clinic, which served 3,000 community members last year—many of them low-income—has been uncertain. In 2014, the state mandated that units at community colleges were no longer repeatable. They had aimed the decision at classes like swimming, yoga and choir, which some community members had been attending for more than a decade. Still, some departments geared for students learning a new trade—like journalism, where students often retook classes several times—have suffered too. Though interest in the Dental Hygiene Program has

remained consistent, Cabrillo’s overall enrollment has dropped steadily, and the administration was forced to make tough budget decisions—like cutting the Dental Hygiene program in half. “We determined that Dental Hygiene could continue as an intact program with a class admission every other year, rather than every year,” says Superintendent of Instruction Kathleen Welch. But students, staff and instructors don’t see it as a viable solution. “If we could accept a class every other year, we’d do it,” explains Dr. Bridgete Clark, Director of Dental Hygiene at Cabrillo and the only full-time instructor. “But >12

Ingrid Trejo was at a memorial in November, reflecting on the sad death of Mitchell Horton—an acquaintance of hers and a veteran who’d been active within the vet community—when she suddenly recognized a police lieutenant, whom she knew through a mutual friend. Trejo, the regional director for the Central Coast Veterans Resource Center (VRC), walked over to Warren Barry of the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) and struck up a conversation, saying, “So I understand you give courtesy rides sometimes to residents who aren’t arrested.” Barry told her that was correct, and Trejo wondered if officers might be able to offer veterans who they interact with on the streets a lift over to the VRC on Soquel Drive. Barry was intrigued. As the two chatted, they began working out the details of a new courtesy ride program that SCPD is unrolling this week for veterans who are homeless or struggling. “Once we’ve confirmed their veteran status, and they are in need, we take them directly [to the center],” explains Rick Martinez, deputy chief for SCPD. “And there will be a case manager there that will sit down with them and start working on a program.” Under the pilot program, when a veteran comes in the door, someone from the VRC will check to see if he or she has access to benefits through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families—a perk that applies to vets who haven’t been dishonorably discharged. If they are eligible, Trejo’s crew will work to get them housed, if needed, and see what services the vet is interested in, like job training or counseling. If the veteran is ineligible, a staffer will call the Homeless Services Center to see if anyone there can help. The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors launched an ambitious goal in October of 2014, when it signed onto a pledge from around the country >14

our curriculum won’t allow it. It just doesn’t work.” In January 2015, a last-minute donation of $100,000 saved the first class that would have been eliminated. Thanks to the generosity of former graduate Theresa Crocker and her husband Richard, Estrada and the other students in his cohort will graduate this spring. Last-minute donations saved the class of 2019, too, but everyone agrees the clinic needs a more sustainable model to prevent the stress of desperate eleventh-hour fundraising and avoid cutting classes. Students insist that the continuity of annual classes is integral to their success. For instance, every incoming student is assigned a second-year student “buddy” as a mentor. “All through my first year here, I had weekly meetings with my big buddy,” explains Estrada. “And now that I’m a

second-year, I’m really committed to the success of my little buddy. I orient her to the instruments—there’s 15 of them!—pass on what I have learned about interacting with patients, and help her with self-care.” This kind of support and mentorship contributes to a pass rate of almost 100 percent on board exams and means graduates have an easy time finding jobs, clinic leaders say. “Our program is well regarded by dentists all over the state,” explains former graduate and current instructional assistant Elicia Hammon. “After I graduated in 1996, I went on a working interview and was employed there for 15 years.” In 2012, Hammon returned to her alma mater as an adjunct teacher. Half of the 15 part-time instructional assistants at the program are alumni. “We do office work, fix equipment, order supplies and help teach labs,”

Hammon says. “I put in a lot of volunteer hours.” If Cabrillo were to offer only the Dental Hygiene Program every other year, Hammon and her co-workers may be looking for other jobs. “We would probably only need two-and-ahalf adjuncts if the administration’s plan went through,” says Dr. Clark with a sigh. “A lot of people would lose their jobs. Our main focus is on educating our students, but we can’t provide the same quality of education with a class every other year.” The quality instruction also results in excellent care at the lowcost dental clinic. “I tried to convince my husband to come here for two-and-a-half years,” says Lisa Lavagnino, the front-office specialist at the clinic. “When he finally did, he said it was the best cleaning of his life. I still get my X-rays here, even though my >16

Debora Wade bought into the property next door to her 10 years ago, she and her husband Karsten were doing it partly to preserve it as a single-family home in an increasingly dense neighborhood, she says. Wade—who has Crohn’s disease, routinely struggling with long periods of severe illness—had her third surgery last year. In times of darkness, she’s looked for solace in her garden on the section of property that she shares with former Councilmember Micah Posner and his family, who live in a home at the front of the parcel. “This was the place that I come to when all my drugs fail, and I’ve had fevers for six months straight, and I’m emaciated,” she says, of her garden. “I, at least, can go out to the garden and plant seeds. It’s what kept me alive.” Wade has tried, unsuccessfully so far, to stop Posner—who

ignited controversy for an illegal unit on the property while on the council—from adding a duplex to the property. The unit would be in between the house and the garden, known as Fairy Tale Farm. Posner hopes that building the new unit will reinforce his apology. “The garden is great, people love it,” Posner says. “Some people say, ‘Don’t build the unit, we have to save the garden,’ But they don’t understand that we’re not going to build the unit on the garden. I don’t see any way it could affect her at all.” Wade concedes that she and Karsten did give the Posners the green light to build the previous unpermitted unit before he was elected to the council. Looking back, she says she was touched that, at the time, Posner’s wife, Akiko, had wanted to have enough income to be a stay-athome mom—something she was fortunate enough to do herself. “When he had a tenant living next to us, it wasn’t as peaceful. When you hear people having sex,

when you hear people listening to music, I don’t like it,” Wade says. “You don’t want to be out there.” Posner came over and talked to Wade as she recovered from her surgery—so often that she filed a temporary restraining order against him. It’s an uncomfortable fallout for two formerly friendly neighbors. The Wades hosted Posner’s City Council campaign kickoff at their backyard farm nearly five years ago, and they were business partners in Santa Cruz Pedicabs. The Zoning Board approved the duplex plans on Jan. 18, and Posner hopes to begin building after getting an architect’s appraisal, although Wade says she’ll appeal the decision to the Planning Commission. Posner hopes to enter either mediation or arbitration, which could provide the final ruling. He hopes to resolve these issues as soon as possible, but in the meantime, will continue going through with the permit process to have the unit built as soon as possible.

It’s in the contract that the families have to arbitrate, but the two sides have unsuccessfully held mediation sessions with different mediators—one of which consisted of four meetings, he says. “Debora never voiced her concerns about the previous tenants. We are determined to be good neighbors and we would have addressed the concern,” Posner says. Wade tried to set up an appointment with the Posners to meet with the lawyer who drafted the document in San Francisco, but they told her that they couldn’t travel that far. Wade says it’s difficult to find an expert locally. It’s true that, at least in Santa Cruz, the situation is anything but routine, according to Mike Ferry, a planner with the city. This is the first tenancy-in-common agreement he has dealt with, and he says it’s been unusual to have a tenancy-in-common agreement in Debora and Posner’s situation. GEORGIA JOHNSON

LITTLE MORE CONVERSATION Danielle Long, mental health liaison for the Santa Cruz Police Department, talks to a man on Pacific Avenue, alongside Officer Amanda Pedulla. Long has been working with officers and veteran advocates on a new program to help struggling vets.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE <11 to house all homeless vets—there were more than 300 locally at the time—by the end of 2015. County leaders extended the benchmark to the end of 2016, although there are still 92 homeless veterans in the county, Trejo says. She believes the courtesy ride program will help the VRC meet its goal. Martinez hopes the new model proves successful and spreads to the other law enforcement agencies around the county. The basic idea is already popular. “It’s great. It’s another example of our agencies’ efforts to do right by our veterans in our community,” says James Keeley, a veteran and advisor for the local nonprofit Holistic Veterans.

Keeley mentions that the local Veterans Court—which helps vets who are coping with drug addiction, mental health issues or other struggles—is another example of a partnership that has been helping people who’ve served. Keeley, who was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1995, went back to school at San Jose State for recreation therapy, thanks to the GI Bill. He just received his certification, and hopes he can start working for the Department of Veteran Affairs soon. Keeley remembers a few years ago when he hit a rough patch in his life. He found out about veteran services and began taking advantage of every one that he could. He credits those programs with helping him

turn everything around. “Many veterans, including myself, don’t identify as a veteran when they’re in crisis,” he says. “These things help vets realize they have support.” While the focus is on vets for now, Martinez is optimistic that officers will one day be able to offer similar services to people from all walks of life suffering from mental health, addiction and homelessness. Hopefully at some point, Martinez says, with more fully funded social services, officers can “take the justice system out of it and really bring forward a system of care that actually treats the core issue.” In recent months, tensions between mental health advocates and law enforcement have been in the spotlight

after officers shot and killed mentally ill Sean Arlt, a 32-year-old who charged deputies with a large metal rake at 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 16, according to the SCPD. Officials plan to release audio and video of that event in the coming weeks. Long, whose position is funded through Santa Cruz County’s health department, spends 40 hours a week on patrol with officers, and she worked on fine-tuning the new courtesy ride program with Trejo and Barry. “Those who have served the country who are homeless, it’s really our job as county to provide them with the support that they need to help them out of homelessness or out of poverty or help them out of their situation,” she says. “They signed up for a career with a possibility of giving their life.”

insurance will cover it elsewhere. The amount of enthusiasm and care and personal attention the students put into each patient, it’s just amazing.” The clinic sees plenty of returning patients, according to Lavagnino. “We have one Florida couple who flies to San Jose every year to visit family, and makes a special trip to Cabrillo to get their teeth cleaned,” she says. Care is time-consuming at the clinic, but the low cost attracts people who might not have access to dental care otherwise. “I’m a senior citizen and so appreciate the dental care they provide for me,” one patient tells GT. “Medicare does not provide dental insurance, and I can’t afford it.” The clinic even has at least one millionaire patient, who tells Clark that he just really likes the students. If the program gets reduced to running every other year, the clinic itself might end up in jeopardy. “Firstyear students don’t see patients until the second semester,” explains Dr. Clark. “So our clinic would be closed in the fall every other year, and we’d lose a lot of patients and even more income. Patients who are the most in need, who have the most advanced problems, wouldn’t be able to get consistent care.” In order to continue annual matriculating classes, the Cabrillo Dental Hygiene Program needs to come up with $140,000 every year. Staff work hard to make up that shortfall. “We’ve started running a class for out-of-state hygienists and begun offering continuing education post-graduate classes,” explains Dr. Ian Haslam, Cabrillo’s Dean of Health, Athletics, Wellness and Kinesiology. “If we could fill a class twice a year, we’d have the $140,000.” Clark also hopes to partner with Salud Para La Gente, an awardwinning local health clinic that provides services, including dental care, regardless of patients’ ability to pay. “There’s got to be somebody out there who wants to make a huge donation,” Clark says wistfully. “If someone donated a million dollars, we could establish an endowment and be self-sustaining. Then we could focus all our energy on education and service instead of scrambling for funds.”

Natural Bond After more than six decades of marriage, the legacy of Santa Cruz eco-art pioneers Helen and Newton Harrison is one that neither could have done alone BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

EARTHLY VISIONARIES

‘The Ring of Water, The Ring of Fire,’ from ‘The Lagoon Cycle’ by artists Helen and Newton Harrison (pictured, inset) is a prophecy of the new coastlines that would result from the melting of the polar ice caps.

that the square tome—a delicate balance of art and philosophical dialogue around the life web— weighs in at 6 pounds and 496 pages. Since their collaboration began, the Harrisons have acted not just as artists, but as diplomats, historians and investigators, picking up the science they needed to address large-scale challenges, like feeding Europe if food crops are lost to drought and sea level rise. But even while they’ve established a worldwide network of biologists, ecologists, architects, politicians

and urban planners, and earned wide acclaim around the globe—not just as art activists, but as the pioneers of the eco-art movement—the couple enjoys a certain anonymity in Santa Cruz, which they’ve called home since 2004. “We’re isolates,” says Newton, 84. “I really like being tucked away, and thinking.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017

rtists Helen and Newton Harrison had already been happily married for 17 years and raised four kids when they made a pact to do no work that did not benefit Earth’s ecology. That was in 1970, when Helen was 43, and Newton, 38. Since then, it appears that the Harrisons did nothing but work for the ecology. The proof is in their book, The Time of the Force Majeure: After 45 Years Counterforce is on the Horizon, published in October, which chronicles a joint-career so prolific

with high ceilings. Its shelving space is piled high with scrolls containing what I can only imagine are the intricate, hand-drawn maps characteristic of their work— present and future topographies of an ever-warming planet. In their living room, a ceiling-high mural transforms an entire wall into a window looking out on a Sri Lankan lagoon—placing, where the average American household may have placed a big-screen TV, a lifesized water buffalo. It’s a scene from one of the couple’s most well-known works, The Lagoon Cycle—a 60-piece, 360-foot-long mixed-media mural completed between 1974 to 1980. As Helen’s health is fragile, I’m speaking with Newton, who is fresh from the post office, where he’s just mailed the 6-pound Force Majeure overseas, to friends he and Helen met while lecturing in Budapest years ago. In an interview with KQED last year, Newton explained that his pact to take on only environmental work with Helen was because “neither of us could face that alone.” I assumed he meant that solving environmental problems on such a massive, global scale was simply too ominous for one person. But, though their life work certainly does swim against a strong current of human expansion and environmental exploitation of all kinds, that’s not what he meant at all. Their work together was always fun. And even more so, he was in love with his collaborator. “It was the kick of a new project,” says Newton, settled into his studio chair. “That’s how you get past difficulties. You do something where you’re having a whale of a time.” “But there was something else, you know. I had concluded something that I think was very obvious to Helen and most women, and that is that the deep creativity wasn’t going to happen in the work unless there was female energy and male energy thrown together. That’s why many ecological works are collaborative,” he says. “I could be wrong, but I have a hunch there’s something called an empathy gene. And I think women have more of it than

<19 men. I do know that I learned about that from Helen, much more than anybody else.” Perhaps it’s fitting that the Harrisons’ first date was to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City—art and intellectual discourse play a key role in their attraction to each other. “What happened was very simple. We met and we talked from the very beginning,” Helen told KQED in the same interview. Newton figured that after 20 or 30 years, they’d still have an infinite supply of things to talk about—as he likes to say, “I’m way smarter than Helen, but Helen is way smarter than me.” Around the time of their pact, Newton and Helen became the first husband-and-wife team to share a professorship at UC San Diego, where Newton was a founding member of the Visual Arts Department and Helen was Director of Educational Programs at UC Extension. But the couple decided never to teach together or administer together. It was a decision based on their different talents in academia, and perhaps a wise move that kept them from working together every single

second. The art, then, remained an enclave of shared passion. “We made this deal. There was a ton of work in front of us. So if Helen disagreed with the work, we didn’t do it. If I disagreed, we didn’t do it. So we didn’t have any arguments,” says Newton. They also encouraged each other to be themselves in the work: Newton was a far better painter than Helen, he says, and she was far better at drawing. A fair amount of dialogue runs through the couple’s writings—which accompany most of their works, and which they’ve made sure to keep in the public domain. Helen, drawing on her philosophical background, takes on the role of questioner, while Newton is often the producer, builder and technician. Newton often writes the initial text, while Helen edits and develops it—a comfortable process, they say, where Newton has the first word and Helen has the last. “It was a common labor, you know? Like, let’s go back to what used to be normal around here, which is family farms,” says Newton. “The husband worked it, the wife, the family, the kids, and grandma and grandpa made butter ... it was a unity.

In the early ’70s, the Harrisons focused on urban farming with The Survival Series, whose daring live exhibits included fish farms, portable orchards and a pasture piece that featured a live pig named Wilma. Almost all of these early exhibits are now being repeated at museums around the world, including the world’s smallest discrete ecosystem of brine shrimp and algae currently at L.A. County Museum, which, driven by the sun, Newton says “has the great advantage of starting to smell extremely strong.” By the ’90s, the Harrisons were traversing the globe, well into their body of large-scale, Earth-inspired art installations and proposals. In addition to uncovering innovative solutions to support biodiversity and community development, their work has also effectively changed governmental policy. To that respect, one of their greatest successes was The Green Heart Vision, commissioned by Holland’s Parliament. Taking into account the biodiversity rings in the region, it proposed a solution for saving 800 square kilometers of farmland and 13 small historical villages in the center of the surrounding cities, thus spinning more than 200 billion dollars that would have gone to outside developers back into the country. “So the right wing moved in and threw us out,” says Newton. “And then five years later, we got a call from the Ministry of the Environment, they’re going to do the piece, and it’s now part of the government plan.” On an even larger scale is the three-part Peninsula Europe (20002008), which, looking at Europe as a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, offers a solution to sea-water rise which will negatively impact the food supply for more than 450 million people. “It costs

about a trillion dollars, about what a Bush war would cost,” says Newton, of the proposal, which proposes re-terraforming the land and reforesting high grounds to conserve waters and generate biodiversity. “It’s on hold. The reason that it’s on hold is it’s too big a mouthful for them to deal with when they’ve got all the problems they’ve got,” says Newton. “At a certain moment, the drought will get much worse, and this will get pulled off the shelf.” He suspects the same thing may happen in America under the Trump administration—that we may come around to systemic changes, but only after great damage.

the reason Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election. “Because she would not propose systemic change, like Sanders.” “We’ve messed up so bad that everything is a mess. The ocean, the topsoil, the air, the subsoil, the forests, the rivers, the aquifers,” he says. What about Santa Cruz? “We just do a slightly better job than anybody else, which is terrible,” he replies. “I mean, why would we give all of our water to a bunch of strawberry farmers and then talk about transferring ocean water at a great expense? The flaws of late 20th century capitalism are everywhere.”

trajectory of our current practices is a slow moving trainwreck—and the Central Valley, which the Harrisons address in 1976’s Sacramento Meditations as “an improbable profitable expandable system” is a good example. As early as 1976, the Harrisons predicted a sea level rise of 300 feet—the first artists to do so—coming within 10 percent of glaciologists’ current estimates of around 270 feet. “The solution suggests that you can keep on doing what you’re doing if you solve this, that and the other, and that’s not true—we have to change systematically,” says Newton, adding that he thinks it’s

When the Harrisons began their decade-long collaboration to save the ecosystems, they realized quickly that they still needed to understand what an ecosystem was—a process they say took them four years. After almost a halfcentury of work they’ve again adjusted their approach. Establishing the Center for the Force Majeure at the University of California in 2009, the nonprofit follows four works—Peninsula Europe, Tibet is the High Ground, Sierra Nevada, and the Bays of San Francisco—and takes on climate change by bringing artists and scientists together to design ecosystem-adaptation projects in these four critical regions. “We proposed, about two or three years ago, that the core of all of these works is to drop the entropy of the planet, of the major life web planetary systems,” he says. Whereas five years ago that sounded bizarre, says Newton, the idea is starting to sink in. “People ADVERTISER: NAME HERE AD SIZE: are starting to understand that our PUB DATE: are at great scale, and we ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE: NAME HERE problems 00/00/15 have to start looking at them that DESIGNER: NAME HERE way,” he says.

surfaces, and combined with the way we live—we take energy from all life systems, but we don’t give anything back. So, you’re looking at deeply stressed life systems, the probable death of the ecosystem and the rest of the ocean.” The work argues that if we have 11 million species, we’re likely to lose 5 or 6 million. “Conversely, if you could mediate that, and only lose, not 50 percent but 20 or 25 percent, then nature, the life web can recover.” The outlook is not totally bleak—at least for bacteria and smaller critters, who benefit from disturbance, Newton adds. “For all I know, if the life web has consciousness, to a degree, not necessarily Gaia-type stuff, but if it has some kind of knowing, maybe what we consider to be ominous is a big relief, because we’re selfcancelling,” he says. “See, it takes nature 10 million years to regenerate from a modest extinction, and 50 or 60 million to regenerate from a big one. So we’ve got four or five 60-million-year periods, at least three, before the sun burns us up. So nature can do it over a few more times.” But humans need to realize the responsibility they have to the planet, if any progress is going to be made for our own species. “Art is an avenue for that kind of realization,” says Newton. “But so is the best of religion, the best of philosophy, the best of many disciplines.” His advice to concerned citizens is to take care of their basic needs and then act for the good of the larger whole. And where does love fall in all of this? “Subtract it and you die. Exercise it and everything lives. Manipulate it and you become sick and unhealthy. And that’s enough,” he says. theharrisonstudio.net.

wooden cameras with glass plates, cameras mounted on heavy tripods. It was all very static. These Kodak cameras with the roll film made it mobile and it created a photography revolution that was comparable to what the iPhone did 100 years later.” What Lanting hopes you won’t think about, however, is actually trying to use one of the cameras from Hurley’s era. He did, when he and his wife Chris Eckstrom traveled to the Antarctic last year. In honor of the centennial of the expedition’s safe return, and because he has long idolized Hurley, Lanting took along the exact type of camera that Hurley used, and even recreated some of the photos that he took on the ill-fated expedition. By the end, he was cured of several of his romantic notions about early photographic technology. “It was really hard,” says Lanting. “It was a very humbling experience. You have very few controls, there’s only two shutter speeds and two apertures, and almost no control over your focus. Everything is laborious. It only increased my appreciation and admiration for Frank Hurley and what he was able to do under conditions that were far more adverse than what I was facing.” On Feb. 11 at the Rio Theatre, Lanting and Eckstrom will share images and stories from their most recent Antarctic adventures in a program titled “Journeys to the Ends of the Earth.” As with all of the Dutchborn, internationally renowned photographer’s presentations, there is more going on thematically than just a parade of stunning nature shots. “I think the Antarctic has a particular resonance with people, because it has that mystique of the most remote, the most extreme place on Earth,” he says. “But it also has a real relevance for all of us now, because it’s becoming one of the epicenters for climate change. That was another thing that we were

confronted with during our time down there. We’d been there quite a few times before, and even though I’m not a scientist, you could just see the changes. The glacial retreat is really rapid, and it’s causing changes in the wildlife, in the penguin colonies. Places where I remember going ashore and setting foot on snow and ice, now you’re setting foot on naked rock. The changes are happening very quickly.” Lanting and Eckstrom’s aim in this show is not to frighten people with the reality of what is happening, but inspire them. To that end, they’ll discuss what they call “hope spots” in not only the Antarctic, but also Patagonia, the Falkland Islands, and the island of South Georgia. “Since Nov. 8, we live in a different country, and we’re facing a different world,” says Lanting. “We think it’s really important to show people that what happens in Washington D.C. is not the only way that we can make progress on things we believe in.” In Patagonia, for example, the late Douglas Tompkins, co-founder of the North Face company, and his widow, Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, invested more than $375 million in turning land into protected national parks. While the Tompkins’ immense wealth made their projects possible, Lanting contrasts it with the work that sheep farmers in the Falkland Islands are doing to protect wildlife there. “It’s not just wealthy individuals who can make a difference, it’s people from all walks of life,” says Lanting. He hopes that these “case studies” leave the audience feeling energized, “because we all have work to do in the next couple of years, instead of giving in to cynicism or fear.” ‘Journeys to the Ends of the Earth’ will be presented at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz Tickets are $23 general, $40 gold circle, available at brownpapertickets.com.

ARTFILES

SEASON OF THE STITCH The Crochet Coral Reef exhibit comes to the Sesnon Gallery at UCSC on Feb. 10.

Reefer Madness

rt and science—oil and water? Not really, as a bold new exhibition at the Sesnon Gallery will reveal next week. Crochet Coral Reef is a worldwide phenomenon and a traveling exhibition, the brainchild of sisters Margaret and Christine Wertheim. Created of unimaginably wild and fanciful “underwater” forms made entirely out of voluminous, handcrocheted forms, the “reef” is a curator’s dream, as Sesnon Director Shelby Graham explains: “It lives at the intersection of artists and communities, of art and science, of

formal beauty and pure mathematics.” Rarely has an exhibit this uncanny been devised to also focus attention on the environmental crisis of oceanic pollution, the sort of pollution that is causing the die-off of the world’s magnificent coral reefs as well as other aquatic ecosystems. “The upcoming exhibit explains the world in ways that people can see and understand,” Graham adds. “Coral reefs are decaying and pitting due to acidification of ocean water, as well as climate change.” The sisters Wertheim—one a science writer, the other on the faculty of California Institute of the Arts—hit

upon their opulent idea for a traveling crochet show after discovering the work of Cornell University mathematician Daina Taimina. Taimina utilized crochet techniques to create physical representations of hyperbolic (i.e. non-Euclidean) volumes, which curve space outward, rather than along flat planes, or inward as spherical shapes. Much like fractals (a mathematical set that has a repeating pattern at every scale, such as the Mandelbrot Set), these forms come into being through a small set of steps repeated again and again and again, a sort of an artisanal algorithm. The installations are breathtaking.

Info: Crocheted pieces for the Seymour Reef show can be dropped off either at the Sesnon Gallery or at the Institute of the Arts & Sciences in the DARC building at UCSC. To hear how the aquatic crochet-a-thon began, join Christine Wertheim at DARC 108 on 4 p.m., Friday, Feb. 10 for an artist talk, followed by a reception from 5-7 p.m. at the Sesnon Gallery. art.ucsc.edu/galleries/ sesnon/current.

Crochet Coral Reef finds an unexpected way to draw attention to environmental crisis BY CHRISTINA WATERS

“The front gallery has all deep blue walls,” says Graham. “And the main gallery space is bright red.” All the better to show off the dazzling array of bioforms crocheted into underwater worlds. Display cases will be filled with the curated masterworks that arrive in Santa Cruz in time for the Feb. 10 exhibit opening, fresh from their residency in New York City. “The back gallery will be completely darkened,” Graham says. “Visitors will use flashlights to illuminate the White Coral Reef installed along the walls. Very deep-sea diving.” Hanging high above will be a massive collection of plastic trash collected by the sisters over a fouryear period, and providing shocking evidence of the persistence of plastic use—and waste—in the first world. Feminist show and tell? Perhaps, since crochet is one of the most ancient, and yes, female-centric, hand arts. The Wertheims also invite aspiring crochet-artists along the traveling exhibit’s route to stitch up their own crochet circle partnerships in the form of community coral reefs, to be considered for an upcoming show at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. The climax of the upcoming show will be the opening of the UCSC Satellite Reef exhibit in May 2017, at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. A community-crocheted “reef” is being made as you read this by 400 community and student hand crafters. Kelp gardens, woolyheaded anemones, and crenelated and curlicued corals, are all being shaped toward the May show. “We want people to see how a crocheted form makes tangible, complex mathematical theory, and also bring awareness of issues confronting the ocean,” Graham says. “The crochet circles help a conversation begin— and continue.”

MUSIC people in their whole life. With our generation, we got so many options, it’s hard for us to tie ourselves down.

I know. These days, especially with dating apps, we’re always questioning what we have or trying to upgrade. Yeah, I did my thesis on infinity at UCSC [in the math department]. When you choose one thing, you turn your back on an infinite number of other things. But that’s easier to do, based on your access to the infinite. So our grandparents—their infinity was very small in the window of what was possible for them. But ours is very big now. It’s harder for us to turn around and put that infinity behind us and make one decision— on not just relationships, but on everything. But with relationships, it’s more significant because it’s a much more long-term thing.

Some of your songs could be thought of as unique love songs—“Pictures on My Phone,” “Naked Skype” and “Let’s Talk This Over When We’re Sober (And Not at Burning Man).” Do you think of them that way?

options have shaken up the world of relationships.

Heart on a String John Craigie on why it’s hard to pen a love song BY JACOB PIERCE

inger/songwriter John Craigie has advice for anyone going through a bad breakup: get the heck out of town, for as long as you can— or at least a few days. “One thing that’s lucky about the traveler is you get to move on— physically move. Other people aren’t as lucky to have that,” says Craigie, who plays the Valentine’s Day show at the Rio Theatre on Feb. 14, which also features performances by Sherry Austin and Sugar by the Pound. Craigie is touring in support of a brand-new album, No Rain, No Rose. “Whenever I have a breakup, I

feel bad for the people who have to stay in that town,” he says. Still, he concedes that there are people out there who like being friends with their exes: “And those people are called insane.”

No offense, but I wouldn’t take you for a Valentine’s Day show kinda guy. JOHN CRAIGIE: I wouldn’t think so, either. I guess they figured I didn’t have a date.

You tour constantly, and for years didn’t even have a home where you paid rent. What’s love like on the road? Love is tough. You make pretty

brief connections with people. And then if you make a longer, deeper connection, you have to try to maintain that as you travel on. What’s cool about new romance, as a traveler, is that if you’re smart, you won’t get tied down to something bad. That will ideally make you choose wisely. One of the weird things about our generation is that it’s so hard for us to make a decision on something because we have so many options. With our grandparents, we look back and say, “Wow, it’s so crazy to marry someone after two dates.” But they knew they were only going to meet, like, six

No, not really. My talent does not lie in love songs. It lies in relationship songs. All three of those songs are observational about how modern romance is done. When I think of a good love song, I think of “Leaving on a Jet Plane” or some Beatles song— [singing] “Who knows how long I’ve loved you?” I’m not so good at those, mostly because if I am in love, whenever that happens, I feel like that’s private and no one wants to hear about it. People like love songs. But they also just make me sick.

In our funny English language, we have a word, love, that encompasses so many connotations—I love my mom, I love my friends, I love my girlfriend, my girlfriend loves chocolate. What do you make of all that? It’s a pretty lazy-ass way of talking. John Craigie plays the Rio with Sherry Austin and Henhouse and Sugar By the Pound at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14. Tickets are $25-$40.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

MARK MOONEY Being a rock star was Mark Mooney’s backup plan, or so he says— somewhat cheekily, I might add. For years, he owned a motorcycle dealership, which for him was the dream job. As much as he loved it, he often thought about that backup plan; you know, if things ever got rough. And then they did. He sold the dealership in 2008 as he was going through a divorce. He released his first album in 2005 (as things were about to crumble), and a second in 2008 (as things were actively falling apart). Those first two dreamy folk-rock records bring him right back to the pain of divorce, and changing his entire life.

FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Everything that I had worked on for my entire life was going sideways. There are songs on both records that go back to that. And the songs are reflective of it,” says Mooney.

Things have been good for Mooney the last few years. He gets to write articles and give lectures in the sports bike industry. Plus, he’s played a lot more music. His second album, The Beginning of Again, even got a fair amount of press. NPR praised it. And why not? Mooney’s gorgeous songwriting mixed with his surreal singing style— which doesn’t immediately match the music—is intoxicating. His band includes David Roda on percussion and Chris Weinress on bass. He’s currently working on his third record, which should be out sometime in 2017. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $25/ adv, $30/door. 335-2800.

THEO BLECKMANN

THURSDAY 2/9 ALTERNATIVE ROCK

THE REVIVALISTS If the Alabama Shakes replaced Brittany Howard with a mid-range white dude, it would sound something like the Revivalists. The seven-piece roots rockers formed in New Orleans in 2007 when lead vocalist David Shaw met guitarist Zack Feinberg on a bike ride. The rest of the lineup features pedal steel guitar, saxophone, bass, drums, keys and trumpet. The band’s latest release, Men Amongst Mountains, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and caught the attention of Rolling Stone, who hailed the group as “one of the top 10 bands you need to know.” KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $23/door. 429-4135.

(Greg Porter), bebop-steeped hip cats who worship Mark Murphy (Kurt Elling), and blues-drenched crooners versed in Joe Williams (Kevin Mahogany). And then there’s Theo Bleckmann, the startlingly original German-born vocalist who spent a dozen years performing with ingenious composer and singer Meredith Monk. He just released a gorgeous program of songs inspired by a near-death experience Elegy (his debut album for ECM), and is touring with largely the same stellar cast of players, including the aptly named Israeli-born pianist Shai Maestro, guitarist Ben Monder, Peruvian-born bassist Jorge Roeder, and drummer John Hollenbeck.

How is it that the English Beat—a band whose last record was released in 1982—can roll into Santa Cruz every couple of months and sell out whichever venue it plays? It’s a testament to both how vibrant the tightknit community of ska

fans is, and also how amazing the group’s songs are. “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “Save It For Later,” their cover of “Tears of a Clown”—these tunes never get old. This year, however, English Beat fans will finally get new music from the band for the first time in 35 years, thanks to a recent crowdfunding campaign. AARON CARNES

SEVYN STREETER On the introduction to her 2015 album, Shoulda Been There Pt. 1, R&B singer-songwriter Sevyn Streeter provides a glimpse into her songwriting style saying, “Honestly, I just write according to how I feel. If I experience it, I write about it.” She promises to let listeners into her life, then delivers bouncy electro-grooves about partying, love, forgiveness and love gone wrong. As she sings on the title track, “I’m going to regret you / I’ma call my ladies / And tell them how you drove me crazy.” CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18-$65. 423-1338.

Roots music and gothic horror storytelling both swim around in the same southern cultural landscapes, but it’s rare to see these elements combined. That’s what makes Slim Cessna’s Auto Club unique. They comfortably carry the “gothic Americana” label for their adherence to both traditional American roots genres, and a passion for dark, foreboding, apocalyptic imagery. It works surprisingly well, as the group emanates a certain amount of mystery. They aren’t actually Southern (they hail from Denver), and for years, they called oddball punk label Alternative Tentacles their home, which actually makes a lot of sense. AC

OUTLAW COUNTRY/ROOTS

MISS LONELY HEARTS The Santa Cruz roots music scene is lit right now. We’ve always had great roots bands, but some of our current acts have attracted national and even international attention. Miss Lonely Hearts, a local outlaw country band, was recently nominated for an Ameripolitan Award—as was Santa Cruz’s own Carolyn Sills Combo—and will fly to Austin for the award ceremony on Feb. 15. Before then, however, the band is celebrating in style with a hometown performance along with American punk

The mission statement for Chicago’s Joan of Arc started out as creating music “with no audience.” The initial explanation of this credo sounded familiar: An attempt to go beyond pre-existing genre barriers. Over a dozen albums later, it’s clear that what the group was after was actually to piss off critics and alienate fans—particularly those invested in singer Tim Kinsella’s prior band, emo legends Cap’n Jazz. It is hard to predict just what styles of music will be on a new Joan of Arc album: noise, math, emo, electro-clash, instrumental jams. It’s the group’s snobbish, snickering humor, lackadaisical performances, and excessive noodling that give the whole project a much more, as they say in This is Spinal Tap, selective audience. AC

series, the White Album Ensemble will be playing a full weekend of acoustic Beatles love songs. The group’s song selections will cover the Fab Four’s last seven albums—Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s, Magical Mystery Tour, the White Album, Let it Be, and Abbey Road—with an emphasis on “beautiful melodies, acoustic guitars, piano and rich vocal sounds.” KS

Now in its 41st year, the Banff Mountain Film Festival has a well-established reputation for inspiring and showcasing the world’s greatest high-adrenaline adventurers and groundbreaking filmmakers. With breathtaking explorations of remote landscapes, profiles of mountain cultures, mindboggling action sports and more, this year promises to be another unforgettable event. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

CROWD CONTROLLER Robert De Niro plays a stand-up comedian who falls for Leslie Mann in ‘Comedian.’

Fifty Shades of Blue FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Well-acted ‘Comedian’ needs more laughs BY LISA JENSEN

omedy is subjective. So it makes sense that a movie about a stand-up comic will pass muster or not depending on how funny you think the jokes are. On that scale, The Comedian is more successful than not; there are enough laugh-out-loud jokes to keep it going, but they’re interspersed with a lot of material that’s questionable. Not necessarily in questionable taste (forget about taste, this is a movie about comedy), but in terms of jokes that don’t quite hit the mark, and lie there, whimpering. Fortunately, director Taylor Hackford keeps the pacing steady enough so as not to stumble too much over the misfires. And he coaxes

a terrific performance out of star Robert De Niro. Sure, De Niro has starred in plenty of comedies, but stand-up requires a different kind of chutzpah—the presence to command an audience, and the quick wit to get them to trust where you’re taking them. De Niro gets this; his character Jackie Burke is so relaxed onstage, he looks like he’s been doing stand-up his whole life, and De Niro’s delivery and timing couldn’t be better. The movie was written by a clutch of showbiz insiders: veteran producer Art Linson, comic and roastmaster Jeffrey Ross, Richard LaGravenese, and Lewis Friedman, from a story idea by Linson. And Hackford wisely chooses an atmospheric soundtrack

of moody, mellow nightclub jazz. Factor in a boatload of real-life standup comics and other celebs in cameos, and it all adds up to—well, not a love letter, exactly, but a wistful salute to the business of show business. Jackie is a veteran “insult comedian” who had a hit TV sitcom 30 years ago that the public never lets him forget. Now he plays whatever podunk gigs his agent Miller (Edie Falco) can line up. Punching out a burly, bearded heckler at one such gig lands Jackie a community service stint at a homeless shelter. There he meets Harmony (a very effective Leslie Mann), another volunteer with her own anger issues. They bond over shared stories of their assault charges.

Over a few days, Jackie introduces Harmony to the New York comedy club scene, and they provide backup for each other at family events: the wedding of Jackie’s niece to her girlfriend (Danny DeVito and Patti LuPone score as parents of the bride), and a sketchy birthday dinner with Harmony’s domineering mobster dad (Harvey Keitel). Real- and reel-life showbiz connections help fuel the dynamic between De Niro and Keitel (40-plus years after Mean Streets), and between Jackie and Billy Crystal (as himself, in a cameo), another former De Niro costar. Cloris Leachman has a choice cameo as an elder stateswoman of the comedy scene enduring a Friars Club roast. And a pointed subtext charts the evolution of comedy from stand-up to scripted sitcoms to the bloodsucking humiliation of reality television, to the power of Youtube to make or jump-start careers. All is poised for an insightful meditation on comedy vs. life. If only there were more laughs. It’s not that some of the material is “blue” (as one character quaintly puts it). One of the best movies about comedy is the documentary The Aristocrats, in which dozens of comics tell their versions of the most notoriously dirty joke in the business. The punch line is always the same, but the set-up challenges each individual comic to plumb personal depths of scatological depravity. But when material bombs in The Comedian, it’s generally due to weak comedy writing. Jackie’s routines tend to go on way past their expiration dates. His impromptu appearance at a retirement home in Florida starts out great, with acknowledgement that the seniors in the crowd had lives and careers of their own, before it devolves into an (endless) sing-along about making poop. The movie’s comic highlight, however, is stand-up pro Jessica Kirson, who trades quips with Jackie from the stage. What we see of her routine is so sharp and funny, it’s pretty clear that she lives the life this movie wants to pay homage to. THE COMEDIAN **1/2 (out of four) With Robert De Niro, Leslie Mann and Harvey Keitel. Written by Art Linson, Jeffrey Ross, Richard LaGravenese, and Lewis Friedman. Directed by Taylor Hackford. Rated R. 119 minutes.

Spice Mine

Culinary pyrotechnics and stellar service at Scotts Valley’s new Ambrosia restaurant BY CHRISTINA WATERS

oaded with intricate spices, shimmering and earthy flavors, Indian cuisine is as good as cooking gets. Foods from the northern Indian Punjab provide stand-out memories of the Ambrosia Indian Bistro newly opened in Scotts Valley. Our senses were undeniably expanded after a meal here, and the reason is spice! Ginger, garlic, coriander, cayenne pepper, and garam masala (itself a spice blend combining cardamom, cumin, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper). Most of Ambrosia’s curry dishes, chutneys, and savory sauces offered

a blend of some—or all!—of these. Last week, craving the flavor high that only Indian food can deliver, we checked out the newest Ambrosia, located across the street from the Hilton Hotel, right off Highway 17. The modern and welcoming interior has been smartly inflected with traditional carved and embroidered crafts and fantastic aromas. Attired in crisp black uniforms, the helpful and attentive staff brought water, a basket of feather-light, paper-thin papadums, and a tray of chutneys almost immediately after we were seated. At this point, I want to

remind readers that I timed our drive from the Westside of Santa Cruz to the Ambrosia parking lot at exactly 10 minutes. Crunching away on those gossamer papadums—lentil crackers—we sampled the green mint chutney, the delicious, slightly sweet tamarind chutney, and the house pickle involving lots of red pepper, garlic, carrots, and tiny cauliflower florets. We immediately ordered a second helping of the house pickle, a condiment so vivacious that it could amplify and distinguish almost anything edible. Stupendously spicy,

this relish came in handy later in the meal as an adornment for the lavish Tandoori Mixed Grill ($23) that formed the centerpiece of our dinner. A festival for our tastebuds had already begun. To augment the traditional clayoven bouquet of tandoori chicken, shrimp and lamb sausage, we ordered another curry of lamb ($16), sauced in fresh coconut cream and green peppercorns. And my always favorite vegetable curry, Aloo Gobi ($10), showcasing what a finely spiced sauce can do for potatoes and cauliflower. I enjoyed my glass of Estancia Sauvignon Blanc ($7) and my companion his St. Pauli Girl ($4.50) as we munched ourselves senseless over the spice pyrotechnics of the fiery house pickle chutney. Then the main dishes arrived, smartly served with obvious pride and flair. Covering every inch of our table were tureens of steaming curries, one with fat chunks of aromatic lamb, the other loaded with spiced veggies. The centerpiece was a sizzling iron platter piled high with huge chunks of colorful chicken (red from tandoori chili powder), shrimp and plump lamb sausages, on a bed of onions. I added some of the pickle to the chicken, and quickly discovered that I liked the beautifully seasoned, finely textured sausage the best. But it was the showcase Aloo Gobi that stole our hearts. Fiery with red and black peppers and cinnamon, coriander, garlic, and cloves, the curry was nothing short of brilliant. Let me confess—Ambrosia’s kitchen had produced the best Aloo Gobi I’ve ever tasted anywhere, including London, New York, and San Francisco. Perhaps the lamb curry could have been a bit bolder for my taste (no worries, I simply added a few hits of chutney), but joined by brown rice, everything was wonderful. We took most of our generous portions home for lunch the next day, vowing to work our way through Ambrosia’s entire, mouthwatering menu. Ambrosia Indian Bistro is open daily from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., 5-9:30 p.m. 6006 La Madrona Drive, Scotts Valley. 713-5594.

STREET FOOD Lalita Kaewsawang on Pacific Avenue during a Hanloh pop-ups.

Hanloh

New pop-up offers different take on Thai BY AARON CARNES

hai food is in no short supply in Santa Cruz. But there’s not anything like the new pop-up Hanloh, says owner Lalita Kaewsawang. She grew up in Thailand, and says she’s bringing a level of authenticity to the food not normally found in Pad-Thai-heavy Thai restaurants—for example, on occasion she’ll offer the tangy Chiang Mai curry from Northern Thailand. Hanloh’s next pop-ups will be on Friday, Feb. 10 at the Food Lounge and Tuesday, Feb. 14 at Midtown Café. At the Valentine’s Day pop-up, she’s designing dishes specifically for couples to share.

LALITA KAEWSAWANG: The way I cook for Hanloh is really inspired by the way I grew up cooking and eating in Thailand. I really want to just bring justice back to Thai food one dish at a time. I just want to do one to two dishes at a time and do it very well. And do it in a way that fits the venue that I work with. I like to serve curries because I think it works well. I really can’t see myself sticking to just one dish. I think it would be so boring.

What is the vibe like? It’s all casual. It’s pop-up. I’m not a restaurant at all, it’s all takeout style. All my curry that is vegan, I use vegetable stock that I make. The curry with meat, like recently, I got a lot of pork bones to make the stock. With curry, if the base is not good, the curry can’t be good. It’s very time consuming. I’ve been making my own curry paste, basically everything. Good Thai food, it’s complex. They like a lot of flavors in Thailand. It’s seemingly simple, but there are layers in the flavor.

Tell me about Chiang Mai Curry. It’s part Thai, part Burmese. Chiang Mai in the name of the province in the northern region of Thailand, near Burma. I would see this curry every day when I was walking home in Thailand. It can be with chicken, beef, pork. I’m doing it with pork belly. A lot of fresh gingers, peanuts, lemongrass. The curry powder is in there. Southern Thailand doesn’t use curry powder the way northern Thailand does. No coconut milk, either. A lot of tamarind. The tamarind really gives it that acidity that Thai people love. hanloh.com.

visit to Pleasant Valley Vineyards’ tasting room is always a pleasure. Smack in the middle of the property is a stunning grove of redwood trees, and surrounding vines glisten in the sun in this bucolic setting. And then there are the wines—an exemplary selection of varietals made by Craig Handley. Winery owners Craig and Cathy Handley transformed their home in the Santa Cruz appellation into a boutique winery in 1990, and have been happily producing fine wines ever since. The winery’s 2013 Brittany Morgan Family Estate Reserve Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains ($40) is handcrafted from nurtured estate vines of French Dijon clones and then aged in French oak barrels. The vines experience a coastal influence of moderately warm days and cool moist nights that produce intense varietal fruit with crisp acidic characteristics, say the Handleys. Here’s a Chardonnay that’s full of subtlety and complexity, with none of the overpowering, over-oaked flavors that some Chards exhibit. Pleasant Valley produces “a golden crop of Chardonnay full of rich flavors of Pippin and Gala apples with a lemon meringue finish,” says the

winemaker. It pairs well with chicken, seafood, pork and Asian cuisine. Wine could also be a panacea for all ills. When you walk in the door after a hard day’s grind, a glass of this Chard will do wonders. The reason this Chardonnay is called Brittany Morgan is because the Handleys name all their wines after family members; nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. With their everexpanding family, they’re not about to run out of names. Pleasant Valley Vineyards’ tasting room is open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, but call ahead to check. The tasting fee is around $10-$15. 600 Pleasant Valley Road, Aptos, 288-0074. pvvines.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LUNAR ECLIPSE— SOMETHING DISAPPEARS Friday afternoon/early evening we have the Aquarius solar festival and full moon with the first lunar eclipse of 2017. The sun and moon are at 22.28 degrees Aquarius/Leo (eclipse). Eclipses are potent, bringing needed crisis; events that change us. Eclipses progress us forward, informing us that something exterior (lunar eclipse) or something within our interior (solar eclipse) self is disappearing. Eclipses have a six-month effect— three months before, and three after. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the Earth and is in Earth’s shadow. The moon is “eclipsed” (hidden). The past, represented by the moon, begins to “fall away.” Friday’s full moon lunar eclipse alerts us to disappearing and changing circumstances. The changes are different for each of us. We must consult our astrology chart to see what area of life is activated by the eclipse. At full moon times the moon’s light is veiled. The moon is our past. We focus upon the sun’s light. The Sun represents our present/future. The sun is

in Aquarius during this full moon time. Aquarius is a most important sign. Aquarius is the Age we are entering. Along with its ruling planets of Saturn (new structures), Jupiter (love/wisdom) and Moon veiling Uranus (birthing new archetypes), Aquarius is creating the present change and crisis. These changes form the basis of the new world. Aquarius is like an eclipse. Aquarius changes everything. What is Aquarius? What is its task? Aquarius is the Light that shines upon the Earth across the seas. The light that shines within the dark (ignorance, illusions, maya, glamours, cruelties, unkindness, etc.). Aquarius cleanses with its healing rays that which must be purified until the dark is gone. The keynote of Aquarius, reflecting the words of the Soul, are, “Waters of Life am I, poured forth for thirsty humanity.” Aquarius is, via Uranus, electrical waves. Everything on our planet and in the cosmos is electrical. Everything releases bio-photons, radiation, light. Aquarius is frequency. Light is frequency. Everything is light.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Creativity, love affairs, romance, fun, play and things that call for risk-taking—games and sports and all expressions of the self. Will and willingness to love. Any and all of these will be affected, shifted, changed. Emotional comfort comes from creative efforts. Thoughts on children, a new baby, a family. A definite and clean break from the past occurs.

All of the ties that bind you to others will be activated. You will seek to know which ones are real, which are not. You will want a harmonious integration with everyone. You will consider integrating even those you have rejected in order to bring about a Libran poise and balance. This will challenge you, but it is good. Things are beautiful and bright. Like the shiny milagros, you love so much.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You think about home—either about moving, a long vacation, creating a home elsewhere for a time, redecorating, reconstruction or remodeling. Wondering what a true home means. Seeking deeper foundations and a greater balance between home and work. One’s biology, genealogy, early family life and childhood memories. Mother and nurturing of self and others. Building a spiritual home.

Though you may not sense it, a new phase of life is being initiated. It will bring forth a healing and a fixing of what you thought was wrong or broken or not yet completed. You will seek a deeper cooperation with others, giving up something of self, so a greater intimacy can develop. You don’t understand all of this. It’s the great mystery of the stars over-lighting you.

Open 7 days Lunch 11:30 - 2:30 Dinner 5:00 - 9:30

GEMINI May 22–June 20 In search of new knowledge, developing mental telepathy, unfolding intelligence through new study, assessing how one relates to others. Is it truthful? Is it real? Building the Rainbow Bridge, walking the Path. Bringing others with us. Contact siblings or those we feel are brothers and sisters. A new level of education is at odds with beliefs.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 As you give and give, you realize you would like to be given to. You are secure within your own self, your crab shell often protecting you. However, new values have arisen, a new code of ethics. You contemplate right and wrong, good and bad. You consider spiritual resources and values, too. How your life is shaped by these? You remember someone.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You might feel your emotions more keenly, more deeply. Your feelings may be out and about for others to see. Your physical body and sense of self-identity are changing. How people see you in the world is shifting, too. Your Soul quietly begins to speak with you about the purpose and plan for your life. Be still each day and ask the Soul for direction. Then listen in a garden of peacocks.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 There will be events and then a deep turn inward in order to understand the empathy and compassion. Others may come to you, attracted to your silence, asking for help. Be careful to remain in a state of retreat. Allow nothing to hinder the small voice attempting to communicate with you. Tend to your health with the utmost care. Stand in the morning and evening sunlight.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Saturn is your teacher these days. Helping you bring forth new concepts and philosophies, research into and understanding of religious ideas, all to be used creatively in your work. You are to expand limited small minds into large spacious minds. So they can know the truth of the kingdom (Earth) and all of its geometric beauty. You are to use your ambition to serve and educate others.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It seems the words for Capricorn are always hard work, responsibility, ambition, achievement, and ladders to success. Let’s talk about foundations here. That ladder needs a firm foundation. Love is that foundation. Remember to have love in all that you do. Sometimes Caps are seen as hard and cold. We know you’re not. You’re just sensible, with sensible shoes. Do you need new ones?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You become more aware of yourself, your age, your limitations. Impatient at first, you learn to adapt. They are lessons along the path. This is a positive time of learning, even if you feel somewhat restrained. Later you will see a new opportunity, possibility and perspective dawning. You will feel a new sense of strength, inspiration and confidence. In the meantime, be kind, always.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Old identities, events, people, previous beliefs and ways of being come up for review, completion and understanding. They are shielded in swift-moving clouds so you don’t feel blame or guilt at any previous behaviors. If these occur take ignatia amara, the homeopath that helps heal grief. Or Rock Rose, a Bach Flower Remedy. New values begin to emerge as the old drifts away. You are a vital part of “all things new” that will come to pass.

What do you enjoy cooking? I’m a vegetarian so I do a lot of grains with veggies, but also Mexican and Indian food. I shop here almost daily because I want the freshest produce to go with my rice or quinoa. I make my own garam masala, so one of the things I really like about Shopper’s is their spices. As a single mom, Shopper’s Corner makes it easy for me to put together lunches for my girls, from the bagged bulk products, like the nuts and chocolate covered pretzels. I can also grab bagels and, of course, fresh fruit. Quality, local products, including many organics, and Shopper’s consistent hospitality, are some of the reasons I shop here.

Consistent hospitality? Well, whether it’s 6:05 am or 8:55 pm, everyone is welcoming and warm — you don't find that everywhere. Shopper’s checkers — they’re fantastic! — will open up a new line for you, it’s not something that happens often elsewhere. My daughters Isabel and Phiona, and my niece, Eden, all love it here! It’s cool to hear employees say, ‘I just saw your mom or your sister in the store.’ I appreciate Shopper’s positive vibe and being recognized by the crew, and their eye contact is authentic. It makes me feel a part of the community. As a family-owned market, things run smoothly here, and they seem genuinely interested in their customers.

What would you say about Shopper’s to a new resident? Shopper’s is the epicenter of the the Seabright area. There’s a warmth that’s generated from this corner store that resonates throughout the community because when you leave you’re in a good mood. Back to the food, I love their gluten-free pasta, and the organic bananas, corn on the cob, the fresh herbs… I make my own pesto, minestrone and salsas, and Shopper’s always has ripe organic avocados. In no way am I limited here as a vegetarian — there’s an abundance of great foods. My family are omnivores eating soup to nuts. I’m awed by all the excellent products, even the ones I don’t eat!
