OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Whenever I think about Santa Cruz’s lack of public space, I think about what GT writer Cat Johnson once said: “There’s nowhere to take your lunch in this town.” Back when Abbott Square was in the planning stages, she predicted it could be a big first step toward solving the problem. Now that Abbott Square is set to open, with First Friday next week serving as the public’s first chance to get a sneak peek of what it will be, and the MAH building up to the opening throughout the whole month of June, I invited Johnson to revisit the public space issue in this week’s cover story. It’s clear from her story how much Santa Cruz has riding on the success of Abbott Square, and that everyone around here has their own hopes to project

SO NICE, GOTTA READ IT TWICE

Such a heartfelt eulogy, Steve Kettmann’s piece on Peter McLaughlin, Pete the Poet (GT, 5/10). Our own local, very hip Vincent Van Gogh, an artist whose muse is as well his torturer, bringing an end too soon. It has been a long time since I have read a long piece word-for-word all the way through, some of it twice. Thanks for making this beautiful work the centerpiece of last week’s GT. JOHN D. ROEVEKAMP | SCOTTS VALLEY

ON THE CURSE OF SANTA CRUZ Re: May 10 GT: Good issue. Steve, I especially appreciate your comments on the Santa Cruz artistic curse. I lived in Santa Cruz throughout the ’70s, part of the time as the first full-time housing coordinator at College 5 of UCSC (about which I shall never write a book). But I did complete a book here, tracing the effect of the biblical Eve myth on Western civilization, but I had moved to Amherst, Massachusetts, by that time and although I mentioned a dozen or so much appreciated Santa Cruz helpers along the way in

onto it. Mat Weir also provides a brief history of how Abbott Square got here, starting with the Cooper House, which has provided a sort of spiritual model for the public square project. Finally, Christina Waters weighs in on how Abbott Square, with its marketplace-style hub of restaurants, will impact the local dining scene. I think the sum total of these stories give a nicely rounded view of just what Abbott Square is going to mean for downtown. Lastly, I just wanted to remind everyone that the American Music Festival is this weekend in Aptos Village Park. Hopefully you read our coverage last week, in which we said probably everything there is to say about it. Now all that’s left to do is get out there and enjoy the return of the Devil Makes Three, as well as Melissa Etheridge, Mavis Staples and many other artists who’ll be there Saturday and Sunday. Happy Memorial Day! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

my acknowledgements, I think it went unnoticed by the local community—even when the New York Times gave me a twopage review and named it one of their 250 Notable Books of 1984. I’d also like to comment on Gigo Desilva’s Hawaii letter. I was born in Honolulu 83 years ago; an army kid. I was there three months, and have never been back. In the meantime, I have been using a hospital record as my “birth certificate” each time it was asked for, even though it has nothing on it that identifies it as a birth certificate. No problem; although my retirement application for Social Security several years ago produced the usual chuckles over the inked baby footprints, nobody ever questioned its authenticity—until we returned to Santa Cruz and I applied for a state driver’s license. I was given the “Where were you really born, Mister Obama, if that is your real name?” treatment, and had to have the state of Hawaii email me a birth certificate (which was finally, grudgingly accepted, even though Hawaii was a territory when I was born). On my 85th birthday, I intend to go back and show it to our (much-missed) former president for a group laugh. Sorry. I could not resist that story. JOHN A. “TONY” PHILLIPS | APTOS

How long do you think the housing bubble will last here?

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “Sin” is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting, and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer! For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one! And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true! Check ’em out! Oracle No. 1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect? No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle No. 2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle No. 3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle No. 4: Unto your own self be true? Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle No. 5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare.

GEMINI May21–June20 Generation Kill is an HBO miniseries based on the experiences of a reporter embedded with American Marines fighting in Iraq. Early on, before the troops have been exposed to any serious combat, they’re overflowing with trash talk. A commanding officer scolds them: “Gentlemen, from now on we’re going to have to earn our stories.” Although you are in a much less volatile situation right now, Gemini, my advice to you is the same: In the coming weeks, you’ll have to earn your stories. You can’t afford to talk big unless you’re geared up to act big, too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero. Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story—a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result. Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks. It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June.

You’re being invited to boost your commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually circle back around to you as a demand. So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: What types of self-development are you “saving for later”? Are you harboring any mediocre goals or desires that dampen your lust for life? Do you tone down or hold back your ambitions for fear they would hurt or offend people you care about?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “Dear Dream Doctor: I dreamed that a crowd of people had decided to break through a locked door using a long, thick wooden plank as a battering ram. The only problem was, I was lying on top of the plank, half-asleep. By the time I realized what was up, the agitated crowd was already at work smashing at the door. Luckily for me, it went well. The door got bashed in and I wasn’t hurt. What does my dream mean? -Nervous Virgo.” Dear Virgo: Here’s my interpretation: It’s time to knock down a barri-

er, but you’re not convinced you’re ready or can do it all by yourself. Luckily, there are forces in your life that are conspiring to help make sure you do it.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan, and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul during the next 28 days. It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions. Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity. Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic. The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive. The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growth-inducing relationships? Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy? Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “In youth we feel richer for every new illusion,” wrote author Anne Sophie Swetchine. “In maturer years, for every one we lose.” While that may be generally true, I think that even 20-something Capricorns are likely to fall into the latter category in the coming weeks. Whatever your age, I foresee you shouting something akin to “Hallelujah!” or “Thank God!” or “Boomshakalaka flashbang!” as you purge disempowering fantasies that have kept you in bondage and naive beliefs that have led you astray.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturalist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this exact moment. “There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy Defiance Time to you, Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express the most determined and disciplined fertility ever!

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I believe it may be the right time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming it at its roots. Why? After all this time, that foundation or resource needs your fresh attention. It could be lacking a nutrient that has gradually disappeared. Maybe it would flourish better if it got the benefit of the wisdom you have gained since it first became useful for you. Only you have the power to discern the real reasons, Pisces—and they may not be immediately apparent. Be tender and patient and candid as you explore.

OPINION

IS HEALTH CARE EFFICIENCY GOOD?

COUNTY

Dr. Wells Shoemaker in your Wellness column (GT, 4/26) states that Santa Cruz County “is one of the top three or four counties in the nation in terms of health care efficiency.” But what does that mean? Nowhere in this article is there a mention of the out-of-control costs of the health care system in the U.S. As a low-income senior (but not low enough for Medicaid eligibility) on Medicare it is quite evident to me. Medicare is not free by any means, thanks to all the accommodations to the

insurance companies and their need for profits. A senior in Santa Cruz County must pay the Medicare monthly fee out of Social Security, buy a drug plan or face a penalty, and buy supplemental insurance or face 20 percent co-pays on any possible serious healthcare need. Medicare is considered a “single-payer” system, but it’s not able to control what the big corporate hospital-medical complexes are doing. We need single-payer health insurance for all and more regulation to curb this kind of crazy “efficiency.” SARA CLOUD | SANTA CRUZ

WELLNESS

MEATLESS SOMEDAY Even Tyson Foods, America’s largest meat company, is hoping to get in on the future of lab-grown meat.

Grow Your Own Lab-grown meat has arrived, and may soon be on your plate BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE because of advances in stem cell research and tissue engineering. The process of growing tissue outside the body in a lab involves self-replicating cells, food, hormones, and other factors that allow original cells to grow and proliferate, eventually creating strips of synthetic animal muscle that are essentially meat. Although the thought of this may bring a knee-jerk stank-face to many, the potential benefits that cultured meat may provide may be worth getting over any negative knee-jerk reactions. For one, the world population is already dealing with a major protein crisis that only figures to get worse. According to a 2012 United Nations report, the world’s population is expected to

surpass nine billion by the year 2050, which means meat production (if our current consumption remains the same) would need to almost double to provide protein to a population that size. Producing this much meat using conventional methods could severely harm or even destroy the planet. The report states that current meat and dairy production account for 19 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, 38 percent of global land use, and 70 percent of global water use. And although cultured meat production would surely leave some sort of carbon footprint as well, the thought is that if it is done correctly and efficiently, it has the potential to be much less harmful to the environment.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 24-30, 2017

‘W

e shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium,” predicted famed British politician Winston Churchill in a 1932 essay titled Fifty Years Hence. Although off by a few decades, Churchill’s prophecy may finally be coming to eerie fruition. The process of growing meat in a lab, while nascent and sure to encounter obstacles and complications, is nonetheless rife with potential to profoundly change the way humans produce and consume protein. Cultured meat (also known as synthetic meat, in vitro meat, or clean meat) has recently become possible

Cultured meat could also curb or even completely end what many consider to be the barbaric practices involved in the raising and slaughtering of live animals for food. Would vegetarians eat it? From a health perspective, cultured meat also has the potential to be engineered to be more nutritious, as well as cleaner and more free of disease than conventional meat. In 2013, the world’s first labgrown burger was produced from living cow stem cells by scientists, led by professor Mark Post. He is now involved in a cultured meat startup company called Mosa Meat. There is also a San Francisco-based startup called Memphis Meats that recently released its versions of lab-grown fried chicken, beef meatballs, and duck a l’orange. Other startups are working on developing similar products—even Tyson Foods, America’s largest meat company, launched a venture capital fund intended on investing in innovative approaches for protein production. There are also several research institutes advocating for and working on the development of cultured meat, and even government regulatory organizations are getting involved and working to establish guidelines. Outside the lab, one obstacle is mass public acceptance. Palatability will go a long way toward potentially changing this negative ingrained mindset. Tasters of cultured meat products have generally said that the flavor and texture are similar to that of the real thing, although not exactly the same. Companies would need to work on creating close enough facsimiles that would hold their own in blind taste tests. This may be especially difficult for products like hamburgers and steaks that have significant fat content, which contribute to their natural taste and texture. Producing lab-grown fat would involve a separate and similarly complicated biogenic process. Another major hurdle is reducing the production cost of cultured meat to bring it up to par with conventional prices. Although this may take a while, history has shown us that when a technology’s time has come, it is only a matter of time before costs come down to a point where it goes mainstream.

NEWS 2030 VISION Santa Cruz hopes to build its way out of a housing crisis, as city studies corridor rezoning BY MATTHEW RENDA

MAY 24-30, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

[Editor’s Note: This is part one of a two-part series on future housing plans for the city of Santa Cruz. Part two runs next week.]

Conventional wisdom is that the quickest solution to a housing crunch like the one that exists in Santa Cruz is to build more units to meet the demand. “A housing deficit is mostly solved by adding housing,” says Michelle King, a senior planner with the city. “The best way we can bring the cost of housing down is by building more housing and by building it close to where people work.” But the fix, simple enough in concept, begs more questions. Namely, what kind of housing—affordable or market-rate? And more importantly, where to put it. The corridor rezoning proposal currently working its way through the city government suggests updating the zoning code in four of the city’s major thoroughfares—Water Street, Mission Street, Ocean Street and Soquel Avenue—in some cases expanding the allowable height of buildings and the density of residential occupancy. Some groups worry its impact will be overwhelming, rather like the whole undertaking itself. “The thing that bothers me the most is not the magnitude of development, but the process by which some of the basic elements were decided,” said Alan Holbert during a recent planning commission meeting. “People other than those that live on the east side were advising this process.” The commissioners, who sat through hours of often heated public testimony, took no vote at the Thursday, May 17 meeting. They’ve yet to weigh in on the rezoning specifics, something they’re scheduled to do at the next meeting, on Thursday, May 25. The matter won’t head back to the Santa Cruz City Council for about a year. The Corridor Advisory Committee finished its recommendations last year, with other city meetings happening along the way. The planning department is also organizing a more interactive >16

Point of Return

The story behind a plan to honor three Hawaiian princes at San Lorenzo Point BY JACOB PIERCE

urfboard shaper Bob Pearson grins as he talks about the celebration for the three Hawaiian princes who first introduced surfing to the mainland 132 years ago, here in Santa Cruz at the San Lorenzo River mouth. Pearson, owner of Pearson Arrow Surf Shop, made it his mission to surf a board like the ones those princes did. He constructed 13 Hawaiian-type surfboards, including a couple of 17-foot olos that he carved out of redwood, just like the ones ridden in 1885. He finally had the chance to ride one two years ago,

as the Hawaiian royal family and throngs of Santa Cruzans watched from the shore. Pearson, who’s surfed all over the world, found the finless 240-pounder hard to steer. “Lay a telephone pole in the water, and go surf it. That’s what it was like,” Pearson says. Kim Stoner, a surf historian and longtime friend of Pearson’s, listens and waits patiently to jump in. Whenever they tell stories together, Pearson and Stoner interrupt each other often, and with childlike exuberance. They’re incessantly making sure the other doesn’t forget

something or trying to move the conversation along. Their current passion is a park plan they’re working on to honor the three princes at a small patch of weeded land in between Seabright Beach and that same river mouth. “Right now it’s an empty lot that’s getting trashed. It’s all about, ‘how can we make this a little safer, a little more attractive?’” Pearson says. “And historical,” Stoner adds. The idea is to create a plaque and a bench or two, possibly some erosion control and maybe >14

notes, to gaze at UCSC, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the wharf, Monterey, both lighthouses, and the boats sailing past. Cole is wearing an orange Hawaiian shirt and green cargo shorts. Salsa Picante, his Lhasa Apso/terrier mix, is sniffing around the cliff, having followed us out the door of his East Cliff house and through a hole in the fence that leads down the rough path. Cole had big plans for the area, and used to talk about his vision with Pearson and Stoner. He would love to pave over the cliff and put some kind of retaining wall around it, he says, to go with the park—a vision for San Lorenzo Point that the Santa Cruz Sentinel covered in February. Cole had other ideas, too, for how to improve the area, some of them ambitious—like building a surf statue to honor the princes, changing traffic direction on part of East Cliff Drive, and adding new staircases to

Seabright Beach to slow erosion. He claims a local engineering firm told him the bulk of the walkway work at San Lorenzo Point could be done for $500,000, and he felt this could be the best opportunity to save the cliff. But some community members say they weren’t keen on the scope or the process. Eventually, the other guys in the group stopped calling, Cole says. The others don’t want to get into specifics about why they aren’t all still working together. But like any other surf-related dispute, it appears there may have been some “strong personalities” in the discussions, says longtime surfer Pat Farley, who lives down the street and is ambivalent about the whole idea himself. At one point, Cole recalls that Barney Langer suggested that he try to chair the meetings instead. But Cole admits he didn’t like the idea of someone else managing the details. “I told him, ‘No, I’m still >18

NEWS BRIEFS LOCKED IN “We really are in a horror movie, huh?” asks GT freelancer Mat Weir, as he thumbs hopelessly through a textbook, looking for clues. “Nah,” says GT editor Steve Palopoli, while he plays with a combination lock that he can’t figure out. “The movies are never … this … slow.” Our editorial team is trapped in a room on Pacific Avenue, trying to get out, before a totally real-sounding guy named Professor Psyko murders each of us—all part of this spooky, puzzle-filled experience at Exit Santa Cruz, a local business that’s part of a growing escape room trend, for geeky thrill seekers everywhere. Web editor Lily Stoicheff and features editor Anne-Marie Harrison did the funky chicken dance because they were the smartest ones in the room. Steve, frustrated with having to figure out questions on his own,

complained “We’re journalists! Normally we just call people and ask for the answers.” This room is filled with clues, puzzles, locks and keys. There’s also a giant digital clock ticking down until the moment our teacher will kill us if we don’t figure things out—as well as a laptop computer, where we can ask for clues and communicate with Steven Cleek, who co-owns Exit Santa Cruz with longtime partner Christy Byrd, an assistant psych professor at UCSC who once taught a class on The Hunger Games. Amazingly, their operation may only be the second-nerdiest new business on the block. Pacific Gaming Café just opened across the street, with games like Diablo III and League of Legends, as well as plenty of room for tournaments. The owner Winston Yu, a 19-year-old UCSC sophomore, has already chatted with Cleek about maybe working together at some point. “In Santa Cruz, there was

nothing like this before, and we’re trying to create a culture of gamers to play and get to know each other,” Yu says, of the café. “A destination.” Exit Santa Cruz is at 816 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

REFORM FORUM There was a time, only six years ago, when Californians started wondering how AB 109— known as the “realignment” initiative—would affect safety in our neighborhoods. Since then, voters passed Propositions 47, 57 and 64 on top of it. “There’s just a lot of criminal justice reforms that are really impacting the community,” says United Way’s community organizing director with Sarah Emmert, who’s pulling

together a forum on the topic with County Supervisor John Leopold. “We really felt like it was time.” Speakers for the May 31 summit at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium include Mayor Cynthia Chase, UCSC psych professor Craig Haney, Chief Probation Officer Fernando Giraldo, sociology professor Craig Reinerman, Nicole Keadle from the Community Corrections Partnership and Sheriff Jim Hart—who’s been crunching crime stats that he hopes to share that evening. “Crime is a complex issue,” Emmert says, “and there are a lot of different factors that impact it.” The free Forum on Criminal Justice Reform and Our Community will be 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, May 31 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.

UNIT OF MEASUREMENT Although it isn’t a part of the corridor rezoning efforts, a proposed development on Water Street has some of the

same goals—promising density and affordability.

MAY 24-30, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

2030 VISION <12

family-based event for July 8. Staffers haven’t finalized the location, but King is hoping to get a representative slice of the Santa Cruz population. The rezoning effort is essentially the implementation of the General Plan 2030 that the City Council passed in 2012, calling for mixed use and density on the four corridors. The idea at the time was that this path would be more sustainable and have less of an impact on residential neighborhoods, compared to other types of growth. The approach encourages developers to submit projects that facilitate a pedestrian- and bicycle-centered scope. Santa Cruz residents already rejected suburban sprawl decades ago, opting instead to preserve a greenbelt that hems the city in with forests and open fields. Although the environmental preservation jibes with the values of many city residents, it has also meant a very limited area on which to develop. Most of the area set aside for

development has already been used, meaning that new housing must get built in a more urban fashion—upward instead of outward, according to the general plan. While most of the changes in the corridor rezoning effort are nominal, some aspects could be more transformative, shaking up certain areas more than others—a concern of neighbors in the Midtown, Eastside and Seabright areas. Zoning in those places labeled commercial corridors allows buildings of three stories and 40-foot height requirements. Along Mission Street and Ocean Street, the proposal could potentially allow developers to build five-story buildings with a 60-foot maximum height. King says this opportunity to build bigger and higher is contingent upon the developer’s offering a community benefit, such as affordable housing, bike trails, open space or other trade-offs. Some neighbors still say corridor rezoning will hurt the neighborhoods by compounding an already terrible traffic situation, depleting water sources and eroding the character of

the blocks next to these busy thoroughfares. “You are going to destroy the very communities that are supposed to benefit,” said Gary Patton during the planning meeting. For his part, Patton has probably been the most visible defender of the local green belt for 40 years, including when he lead an effort to protect Lighthouse Field from development in the 1970s. He called the city’s approach now “fundamentally wrong,” even comparing incentives for development to that same proposed coastal shopping mall 40 years ago. And Patton says he would hate to see anything even remotely threaten the cheap, delicious food of Charlie Hong Kong, which is on Soquel Avenue. Many attendees echoed Patton’s concerns. Some complained that the commissioners were inappropriately aligned with developers. Planning Commissioner Peter Kennedy calls such accusations counterproductive, saying the commission is focused on attempting to solve or at least mitigate problems surrounding housing that continue

to plague the city. “It’s hard to hear those accusations because it has been an open process,” he says. But Kennedy is more receptive to some of the specific critiques of more dense development in the city’s corridors—namely that it will exacerbate traffic problems. King insists that extracting community benefits from developers in exchange for greater height could mean residents earn more efficient streetscapes. That could turn into newer traffic signals, better turn lanes, roundabouts and other transportation strategies to make the traffic flow smoother. Despite a stream of opposition at the meeting, some speakers came in praise of the rezone, saying Santa Cruz made a decision when it preserved the green belt around the city that it would have to build more densely in the downtown areas to accommodate inevitable spikes in population. “I applaud this undertaking,” Laura Caldwell said at the meeting. “Santa Cruz needs a completely new vision.”

THANK YOU SANTA CRUZ

*The strength of the economy Trump inherited had some strong legs going forward— which is why the Fed has been raising their discount rate and may continue to. Strong employment numbers may trump fear of government drama—especially if the Russia stories subside and employment continues to march upward. This would mean that opportunities to take advantage of the years LOWEST RATES may prove to be sporadic—a good reason to call me to prepare to achieve mortgage goals by being ready to act. I can be reached at 475-2600 or 818-7700 on cell and jchubb1@gmail.com. Today’s rates for up to a $424,100.00 loan amount, before any adjustments for cash out/ loan to value/ credit scores, are as low as 3.375% ( 3.375% a.p.r.) for a 15 year fixed, 3.875% (3.94% a.p.r.) for a 30 year fixed and 3.625% (3.69% a.p.r.) for a 20 year fixed. Rates for loan amounts over $424,100.00 up to $636,150.00 are 1/8th to ¼ % higher. FYI: RATES ARE LOWER when full generic closing costs are charged-- PLEASE CALL FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION, ADVICE, PRICING AND ADJUSTMENTS FOR CASH OUT, CREDIT SCORE, LTV—which can change the final price offered. Rates are subject to daily changes. *Continued strength in employment numbers will support higher rates--not lower. HOWEVER, the march up in stock values and some new hiring was based on economic stimulus from the new administration, lower corporate and personal tax rates—if they do not happen, stocks may retreat and take the economy with them. This would be good for stable/lower rates and bad for economic growth and employment. *International uncertainty in reaction to the Trump-Russia investigation will stimulate investors to sell stocks and buy bonds and contribute to lower rates as has happened over the last few days. MORTGAGE RATES HAVE HIT 2017 LOWS IN REACTION TO LEAKS RELATED TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION. NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RESULTING LOWER RATES!!

NEWS POINT OF RETURN <14 the chair,’” Cole remembers. “‘So now I’m here all by myself.’”

LOOKING OUT Farley was never crazy about the idea for a walkway or a statue out on San Lorenzo Point. But he admits that he isn’t sure about the idea of just a plain old park, either. “It’d be nice to get all the fox tails out of there, rather than having people shoot up in the bushes in there. I don’t know if a park would bring more of them or not,” says Farley, who paddles out in the river mouth religiously, whenever it’s breaking—up to three times a day. That used to happen only a few weeks a year, but this past winter, heavy rains built up a massive sandbar, providing five months of surfing, and 67-year-old Farley is practically looking forward to this extended season being over. Rumors have swirled, on social media and out in the water, about the park idea, as neighbors and surfers argue about how big and ugly they heard it might be. Pearson says most of the opposition is rooted in misunderstanding and fears of an overbearing statue that even he doesn’t want. “I don’t care what you do—give everyone $100—someone’s going to be mad at you,” he says. “There are a couple people who are upset because what they heard is misinformation.” We started looking into the park a month ago, after a discontented tipster emailed GT earlier this spring, insisting we write a story about the plan, which she felt was too ambitious. Sure enough, when I called her back after learning more about the actual proposal for a plaque, she laughed it off in relief. Pearson, Langer and the rest of group will soon start making the rounds and getting more input for Princes of Surf Park. “If in fact that is what we’re going to call it,” says Langer, who’s been focused on organizing a 25th anniversary celebration for the West Cliff surf statue for Saturday, May 27. After that, he expects to spend more of his time on the park. “We’ll have more to say after Memorial Day. Seriously, we’re just getting started.”

Downtown Squared

Why Abbott Square could be the public space breakthrough that Santa Cruz needs BY CAT JOHNSON

was destroyed in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Architect Mark Primack, a former planning commissioner and city councilmember, says having a reason to go downtown that isn’t solely tied to consumerism is key to creating a thriving city. “In a successful downtown,” he says, “you want to be there just to be there. You don’t need to justify it with your credit card.”

“As downtown Santa Cruz changes and evolves to the next chapter as an economic hub and a social hub, we need spaces to come together that are not in privatized bubbles.” -NINA SIMON

n a recent trip to New York City, I was struck by the number of parks, benches and public spaces scattered through the city. Between Central Park, Bryant Park, plazas, pop-up sidewalk spaces and neighborhood parks, it seemed that every few blocks there was someplace to sit down and take in the city.

And cities with great public spaces are a lot closer than New York. San Francisco recently became the first and only major city in the U.S. where every resident lives within a 10-minute walk of a park. Back home in Santa Cruz, it can be hard to find a place to sit and just exist. There’s a lot to love about our downtown, including an abundance

of great food, public art, coffee, musicians and world-class people watching, but we’re lacking a central space to socialize and hang out. Abbott Square promises to change that. The new plaza outside the Museum of Art & History (MAH) may be the best thing to hit Santa Cruz’s public space scene since the old Cooper House building, which

SQUARE ONE An artist's rendering from the planning stages of Abbott Square.

For MAH executive director Nina Simon, who has spearheaded the project, Abbott Square has the potential to bring the larger Santa Cruz community together around creativity and a shared sense of place. She explains that as the county is increasingly divided by geography, economic opportunities, and cultural identity, safe, shared spaces allow us to be more connected and more supportive of each other. “As downtown Santa Cruz changes and evolves to the next chapter as an economic hub and a social hub,” says Simon, “we need spaces to come together that are not in privatized bubbles. As there are more people using and engaging downtown, those people need and deserve places to connect with each other and to build what Martin Luther King Jr. calls the love of community.” Abbott Square, which will feature five restaurants, two bars, free performances, seating and a familyfriendly Secret Garden, aims to attract residents from around the county to spend time downtown.

explains that she and her family go downtown for activities, but they don’t go there to hang out—they go to parks and public spaces in the surrounding areas instead. “Even San Lorenzo Park isn’t that close, and it’s hit or miss with the other populations that are there,” she says. “It hasn’t been that welcoming as a family atmosphere.” Gallacher is excited about Abbott Square’s potential as a place to meet people downtown and “get the best of both worlds.” “You could do some shopping, go to a festival or whatever great thing is happening downtown,” she says, “then be able to go to Abbott Square to sit down and have your food or have a picnic.” Her biggest hope for Abbott Square is that it feels safe and fun, and she’s confident the MAH will “hit that nail on the head.” If Abbott Square goes off as planned, it could also be a huge boon to downtown businesses. “Anything that draws people downtown and adds to a positive perspective of our downtown is a win for all of our businesses,” says Sonja Brunner, business member coordinator for the Downtown Association. Brunner is confident that Abbott Square will bolster the Santa Cruz community, saying that the MAH

already does great family-oriented events and makes “magical things happen.” The success of Abbott Square as a public space, according to Primack, who worked with architect Roy Rydell on the original Abbott Square, depends on what Santa Cruz wants, needs, and can support—and the kind of town we have. “All the time I’ve been in Santa Cruz, we’ve struggled with this notion: Are we a small town? Are we a college town? Are we a tourist town? Trying to balance tourism and local culture is a very difficult thing to do,” he says. “If anyone can pull it off, I think Nina can.” As Abbott Square opens to the public, Simon hopes it can be a creative community plaza that fulfills the MAH’s mission to “ignite unexpected connections and shared experiences.” “At the MAH, we believe that art and history help bring people together across differences to strengthen our connections, strengthen our sense of place and pride of place and introduce us to each other and the rich cultural diversity represented in our county,” she says. “I hope we can do that in Abbott Square, and I believe it can be, in a lot of ways, a more powerful representation of our mission than what we can do indoors.”

his was the county jail as recently as the 1980s,” says Nicholas Ibarra, pointing to the red building on the corner of Cooper and Front streets. He’s giving me a tour of the newly renovated— soon to be opened—Abbott Square. The 1,750-square-foot area will be the home to six restaurants, two posh cocktail bars and a Secret Garden open to the public for free music, art shows, or just catching up over drinks. The idea is to make Abbott Square a “cultural hub” for a community that has longed for public spaces. The location couldn’t be more appropriate considering the history of the property, especially for those who remember the oncevibrant Cooper House. The Cooper brothers originally sold the land to the county in 1866

to be used as the county courthouse. At the time, the local press called it, “one of the neatest, most convenient, best proportioned and at the same time, perhaps the cheapest public building in the state.” The Octagon—which most recently housed the Lulu Carpenter’s coffee house extension—was built in 1882 as the Hall of Records. The property went through some literal trials by fire, starting with the massive fire of 1894 that destroyed many downtown buildings, along with the courthouse. Once rebuilt in 1896, the courthouse would stand only 10 years before the 1906 earthquake struck, rendering the building completely unsafe. Abbott Square itself was dedicated in 1972, named after Charles “Chuck” and Esther Abbott.

ABBOTT SQUARE <24 The two photographers moved to Santa Cruz in 1963 and played essential roles in establishing many of the city’s famous landmarks. Along with contributing to the design of the once-twisting Pacific Garden Mall, they also singlehandedly funded the iconic Mark Abbott Lighthouse on West Cliff Drive in 1986, dedicated to their son after his untimely death in a surfing accident. The same year Abbott Square was dedicated also saw the establishment of the Cooper House. “The bar was the place to hang out,” says local historian Joan Gilbert Martin. The local resident of more than 50 years has many fond memories of the Cooper House. “There was always music, and always people dancing.” For anyone living in town during the 1970s and 1980s, the Cooper House was the place to congregate. Located in the heart of downtown, the impressive building, with its decadent windows and ornate staircases, quickly became a hub for people to

gather, chat and celebrate life—from national figures like Timothy Leary to local celebrities like Ginger the Rainbow Lady. Unfortunately, after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, the Cooper House was deemed unsafe and demolished, much to the chagrin of local residents. “Since the earthquake, we’ve never had anything like it,” says Museum of Art & History Collections Catalyst Marla Novo, who played a key role in the Abbott Square revival. The almost 30-year void is exactly something the MAH hopes to fill with the launch of Abbott Square. The MAH knows they could never recreate the Cooper House experience; instead, they want to reboot its cultural essence for the modern era. “This will be a place where you can walk in, hang out, eat, drink, read, or people watch. Plus you can take part in the free programs [the MAH] will be offering” Novo says. “It was important for us to keep alive the spirit of what the Abbotts wanted as a gathering place.”

City Forks Abbott Square seeks to have a big impact on the dining scene BY CHRISTINA WATERS Square itself, a walk-up window will serve up Cat & Cloud espresso drinks along with pastry temptations from Companion Bakeshop. At Veg on the Edge, organic veggies will fuel West African-inspired dishes at yet another of the ambitiously diverse food shops. And all of this will be accessible from both Front and Cooper street portals and served by the newly reimagined Abbott Square seating area. In total, that’s six restaurants, two bars, a verdantly planted Secret Garden, and the outdoor plaza itself, which MAH envisions will not only attract patrons of the new restaurant, but locals as

well, who simply want to come to sit, study, talk, relax, and chill out for a while. I was happy to know that the historic Octagon building itself, leased by the Market, will house two food shops, one of which will showcase the culinary zest of chef Santos Majano of the Kitchen at Discretion. And the $5 million reinvention starts with a First Friday sneak peek on June 2. “The guiding concept,” MAH Director Nina Simon recalls, “came from the community desire for a community plaza. Then people told us that we needed food to tie it all together. Nothing brings people together like a meal.” And so the public market, one that echoed the diverse and active MAH mission itself, was born. Abbott Square itself, wedged deep into the space between the Octagon and Pacific Avenue retail, has arguably remained underused and loosely defined since the earthquake-forced razing of the original golden era Cooper House. MAH is betting that the spell of past social gatherings—Max Walden’s epic bar, Hilaries, et al.—will infuse magic into this new expansion. Curated by developer John McEnery IV, the official “master tenant” of the Abbott Square Market entity, the choices reflect desires of MAH that there be an emphasis upon diversity of cuisine and cultures represented. Simon notes that national chains or fast food establishments were not considered, and that priority was placed on local food. “We wanted to create a market

whose creativity, diversity, and flexibility would mirror that of the MAH,” says Simon. The choices are nothing if not diverse, and yet they also reflect the Santa Cruz personality, both in terms of what locals enjoy and also what visitors come to sample. Seafood, sophisticated cocktails and fine coffee and pastry combinations seem destined to attract a regular, year-round patronage. It’s doubtful that anyone will complain that we already have enough coffee shops or cocktail lounges. But there is already a pizza parlor across the street. Perhaps “more is more” will prevail. The West African and Asian menus will doubtless increase the push toward adventurous flavors. A half-dozen concessions filling a space adjoining the museum— already an outdoor “without walls” concept—seems likely to expand the entire MAH operation even further. With 10,000 square feet of outdoor seating, the open-air Abbott Square is poised to become an al fresco community dining room, where the diverse menus all blend into a single community event. Food is the way to our hearts, but it’s only part of the larger agenda, which is to open out even further the highly successful and vigorous blend of community events targeting diverse groups. Weekly readings, classes, music, and other programs—all free and open to everyone—will spring up in and around the newly restored Abbott Square. Stop by for preview week and taste what it’s all about.

“Adaptation is like saying we are going over a civilizational cliff and ought to lower the speed as we approach the edge.” - PAUL HAWKEN <30 grasslands, states and provinces. I wanted grounded, science-based information on the solutions, not just the problem. And I wanted to name the goal.

because the solutions are amazing. Global warming is feedback, an offering from nature that can lead to a renaissance of transformation. That is what we saw in the solutions.

Last year was the hottest year on record. Is reversal, rather than adaptation, even realistic?

In one section of the book, you address empowering women and girls as key to reducing the impacts of climate change.

It is not so much about rather as further. We are at 450-500 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the air. The last time they were this high was 10-15 million years ago. But those levels occurred gradually. We’re doing it overnight, geologically speaking. Adaptation is like saying we are going over a civilizational cliff and ought to lower the speed as we approach the edge. We need to turn around and go the other way.

How did you assemble such an impressive team of scientists and innovators? By virtue of the goal itself. They wanted to be a part of something that had not been done before, which is to map, measure, and model the 100 most substantive solutions to global warming. What we found is that after 40 years of public and scientific awareness about the greatest crisis human civilization has ever faced, no one had done that math and could name the top five solutions to global warming. Our guesses at the outset of the project about what they would be were all wrong. We were shocked—in a good way—as to the top solutions.

Who is this book written for? Everyone from ninth graders to farmers, your aunt, and the plumber. But it was also written for colleges and universities, to be a textbook. We wanted to write a book that anyone could understand and enjoy, with images that would intrigue, inspire, and delight,

When a girl is pulled from school at or before puberty, she will have an average of five-plus children. If she is allowed to complete her secondary education, she becomes a woman largely if not completely on her terms, and she decides the size of her family, with the average being two children. Those children are better fed, educated, and cared for, and when they have families, they do the same. Educating girls can make the difference between 10.8 billion people in 2050 and 9.7 billion people in 2050.

How can we find common ground on global warming? Listen to what people are saying who deny or reject climate science or policies. They are trying to say something about their lives that is important to understand if we are to come together. And note that 98 percent of the solutions have many benefits in terms of clean growth, jobs, health, security, well being, and more. Don’t try and sell the problem, sell the benefits of the solutions.

What can I do in my own life to help? The simplest change a single person or family can make is to stop wasting food and eat a plant-rich diet, the No. 3 and No. 4 solutions to reversing global warming. Paul Hawken will discuss and sign his book on Thursday, May 25 at 7 p.m. at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, 423-0900. The event is free.

MUSIC

HUNT LINES Phoebe Hunt plays with her band the Gatherers on Thursday, May 25 at Don Quixote’s.

Silent Treatment MAY 24-30, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

How Phoebe Hunt’s new music was inspired by 10 days of enforced quiet BY CAT JOHNSON

n 2016, Phoebe Hunt found herself winding through the backroads of India, headed to a 10-day silent retreat in Kolhapur with her then-fiance, now-husband bandmate Dominick Leslie. Back in Texas, her grandmother was on her deathbed, and Hunt was conflicted about being so far from home. When they arrived at the retreat center and were told that all of their belongings would be stored behind what Hunt describes as a “rickety door with a really questionable lock,” she broke into tears. “I was looking for sympathy from the people who run the center,” she says. “But one guy said, ‘If you check in right now, you’re here for 10

days. You’re leaving your passport, you’re leaving your computer, you’re taking off your engagement ring and putting it in a manila folder, your violin. Do you want to do this or not? No one else can tell you.’” Hunt eventually did turn over her belongings—in exchange for a wool blanket—and stay. She did so largely because Leslie came up to her, after handing over his own belongings, with what Hunt describes as “the brightest smile, and his eyes the lightest I’d ever seen.” Hunt’s grandmother passed away during her stay, but Hunt didn’t learn of her death until afterward. During the retreat, the quiet and solitude inspired the lyrics to her song “Pink and Blue.” She wasn’t

allowed to have anything to write with, or on, but once the retreat ended, Hunt “grabbed her journal” and quickly wrote the lyrics down. From the silent retreat, Hunt and Leslie went directly to another ashram outside of the Indian city of Pune to study classical Indian music with seventh-generation master violinist Kala Ramnath. The idea was to break the silence of the retreat with music—to have “the first input into our brains be music.” Students there would spend up to 10 hours a day practicing. On an off day, when other students went into town, Hunt stayed at the ashram and wrote the music for “Pink and Blue.” The tune, a sweeping and personal glimpse into Hunt’s unique spiritual

perspective, is the product of her silent meditation and the emotional experience of the trip, combined with her studies of Indian musical traditions. “That song is my song about that journey,” she says. “It holds the essence of that trip.” A skilled and inventive violinist with a clear, engaging voice and a warmth like that of an old friend, Hunt got an early start as a musician and a spiritual seeker. Her parents met at a yoga ashram in Manhattan in the seventies, and spent seven years as disciples of Guru Swami Satchidananda. Hunt was fitted for her first violin when she was six years old—a 1/16th size instrument. Her musical foundation is in jazz and swing, but her nontraditional upbringing informs her life, spirituality and music. “I was raised with the principles of yogis in our household, which always led me to question my reality,” she says. “I also went to the Austin Montessori school, which encouraged out-of-the-box thinking and questioning society and humans. That’s all fed into my music.” Hunt says she was excited to study gypsy jazz in her early years, but that her own songwriting has moved to the forefront of her music. Her songs have “become more and more about the introspection of the soul.” Hunt’s new album, Shanti’s Shadow, is a captivating blend of Americana, classical Indian rhythms and influences, spiritual seeking and what has been described as Texas-tinged swing. The album is seamless and grand—likely due to the fact that several of the band members were also at the ashram outside of Pune. Shanti’s Shadow is a nuanced and elegant string-driven exploration of love, spirit and being human, without being restricted to one genre or style. “I wanted to make an album that the public loves and that captivates everybody, but the only way I’m going to get to anybody’s heart is if I’m opening mine,” she says. “I decided that no matter what anyone tells me, I’m going to play the music in my head as close to the way I hear it. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I’m not going to try to change it to please anybody.” Phoebe Hunt & the Gatherers perform at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 25 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 5/26 - SUNDAY 6/4 ‘ZOOT SUIT’ AT UCSC Luis Valdez’s iconic Zoot Suit tells the 1942 story of the Sleepy Lagoon murder and the reaction of the Los Angeles Police Department, a case which ended in the arrest, trial and imprisonment of a group of Mexican-American men, without evidence, because they were “Mexican and dangerous.” Violence against Latinos and other minorities spread through Los Angeles and other American cities in the wake of the court decision, becoming known as the Zoot Suit Riots because of the extravagant long-cut “zoot” suits worn by those who were targeted. This year, Valdez, a key figure in the Chicano Rights Movement, created a new version of the play. UCSC will be the first academic theater to produce the new script, directed by Valdez’s son, Kinan Valdez.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

GOLDEN RAGE OF TELEVISION Several years back, local musician Pat McCormick was watching a show on PBS called Pioneers of Television. What struck him wasn’t the programs themselves, but the theme songs. He knew every song, but hadn’t heard them in a while. “They’re like lost hits,” he says. The thought occurred to him: What if I played rock versions of these songs? As a longtime musician who’s played with Montrose, among other bands, the idea seemed potentially great, but also potentially risky.

MAY 24-30, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“It was a crapshoot initially. It was an aspect of combining two lifelong passions: my love for the guitar, and my love for classic television,” McCormick says.

Ultimately, he felt that it worked. Theme songs from the ’50s and ’60s were often heavily orchestrated, and written by the best songwriters of their day. Beefed up with driving rock beats and electric guitars, the music had a prog-meets-’70s-theatrical-rock vibe. It was perfect for McCormick. He spent the next several years perfecting a set of themes, and collaborated with a friend to create videos. The project, which debuted last year, features him on guitar, with several TV screens behind him playing surreal old TV imagery, along with the backing tracks to the song, which McCormick recorded himself. “It’s ear candy and eye candy,” he says. INFO: 7 p.m. Sunday, May 28. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

MATTSON 2

THURSDAY 5/25 PSYCH-ROCK

SLEEPY SUN “Formed in a Santa Cruz garage” is the origin story for many a band that takes the Catalyst stage. In the case of Sleepy Sun, who began its career in this familiar way in 2005 with five UCSC students, it’s taken them all over the world. The group is set to release its fifth album this June. The sound started off in familiar garage rock territory, but as the years progress, the members have developed a sound that’s more spiritual, esoteric, and swirling into the farther reaches of twisted anti-pop psych rock. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 429-4135.

JAZZ

JOEY DeFRANCESCO & THE PEOPLE Even since Miles Davis recruited the teenager organist to tour with his band in the late 1980s, Philadelphia-raised Joey DeFrancesco has been universally hailed as the most prodigious B-3 master of his generation, a virtuoso who almost

singlehandedly revived interest in his instrument. His latest release, Project Freedom, focuses on the liberatory power of jazz, with imaginative covers of era-defining songs such as John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.” He’s joined by stellar drummer Jason Brown, Australian-born saxophonist Troy Roberts (who’s made a powerful impression on recent Jeff “Tain” Watts recordings) and guitarist Dan Wilson, a member of Christian McBride’s new trio, Tip City. ANDREW GILBERT

INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $30/adv, $35/door. 427-2227.

FRIDAY 5/26 INDIE-JAZZ

MATTSON 2 Identical twins Jared and Jonathan Mattson, who formed the guitar-drums based jazz-indie duo Mattson 2, are in a weird predicament. The music is a bit too weird for traditional jazz audiences, and too jazz for weird audiences. So they’ve carved out their own audience. The duo has also taken to collaborating with creative individuals like Cornelius and Ray Barbee. Their latest is a

collaborative album with Toro y Moi’s Chaz Bundick, a surreal psych jazzfolk-rock record. Catch the duo—just as a duo—as they get down to their oddball jazz tunes on Friday. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 5/27 ROCK

MCCOY TYLER McCoy Tyler is a curious beast. The Northern Californian is a self-taught lyricist and guitar player who’s known for combining mixed-matched genres such as heavy metal, bluegrass, folk and everything inbetween. After years of playing with his band, the McCoy Tyler Trio, the prolific musician decided to switch things up for his latest EP, 26, and recorded it with Santa Cruz’s own Coffis Brothers as his backing band. This Saturday, he will be joined by the Ben Lomond folkers in honor of the EP’s upcoming, June 1 release, along with Bay Area trio Scary Little Friends.

On his new album, Close Ties, Americana singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell looks back on his musical career, including his early success with the Grammy-winning album Diamonds & Dirt. As Crowell explained to Rolling Stone, “I was a good guy; I was trying to make good art. That doesn’t mean that I wasn’t an insecure little shit.” Crowell, who is now 66, experiences life differently now, and it shows in his lyrics. Close Ties is full of insights into life well-lived, and the heartache of losing friends, including the tune “Life Without Susanna,” a tribute to Susanna Clark, wife of the late, great singer-songwriter Guy Clark.

one of Jamaica’s famous dancehall originators with one of the island’s biggest current artists? Find out this Sunday at the Catalyst, as two reggae titans share the stage for one irie night. In the 1980s, Yellowman ushered in the new era of dancehall reggae with his rap-like delivery, recording genre classics like “Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt” and “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng,” both of which have been sampled numerous times throughout hip-hop history. Alborosie might have only hit the scene in 2008 with his debut album, Soul Pirate, but he quickly solidified his place in reggae with his revival of dancehall music for the modern era. MW

The name Django Reinhardt is synonymous with gypsy jazz. The Belgian-born French guitarist of Romani ethnicity is considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and a key European contributor to jazz. The Django Festival All-Stars—comprising guitarist Dorado Schmitt, Dorado’s son Samson on lead guitar, Ludovic Beier on accordion and accordina, Pierre Blanchard on violin, Doudou Cuillerier on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Antonio Licusati on bass—pays tribute to Reinhardt and French gypsy jazz with its own arrangements, interpretations and original compositions.

FILM

WRECKING BALL ‘Citizen Jane: The Battle for the City’ tells the story of activist and journalist Jane Jacobs (above) and her battle against urban planner Robert Moses.

The Hood Fight MAY 24-30, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Community resists city planners in ‘Citizen Jane’ BY LISA JENSEN

uess what? You can fight City Hall. With engagement, activism, and a keen sense of moral outrage, we, the people, can foil the best-laid plans of mice and politicians, however mighty they may think they are. Matt Tyrnauer’s excellent documentary, Citizen Jane: Battle for the City, shows how it’s done, a call to arms that could not be more timely in this chaotic political moment. The city referred to in the movie’s subtitle is New York City. The story begins in the late 1950s, where the battle lines are drawn between Utopian post-war urban planning and the communities and concerns of real-life people. Leading the charge

is Robert Moses, an imperious, celebrated urban planning czar who callously decrees, “You have to move a lot of people out of the way,” (mostly low-income residents) to make room for the so-called “Urban Renewal” he envisions. (Or, as James Baldwin calls it, in a vintage TV clip, “Negro Removal.”) In the opposing corner is journalist Jane Jacobs, who develops her “theory of opposition” to Moses’ plans. A city resident since 1934, whose freelance stories on urban life earned her a position as Associate Editor at Architectural Forum magazine, Jacobs believes a city should be “a place with scope for all kinds of people.” She believes that life lived out

on the streets, on the stoops of old buildings and the sidewalks in front of them, creates community; even residents without a lot of money can create rich neighborhoods. Whereas Moses’ solution is to tear down all the old buildings, eliminate sidewalk culture, and remove people to soulless highrise towers: i.e.: housing projects. The welfare of the people involved, uprooted from their community life, is a matter of complete indifference to him. “You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs,” he chuckles, in a TV clip. Filmmaker Tyrnauer sets up Jacobs vs. Moses as a “battle for the soul of the city.” Jacobs has spent her career writing about street life and urban

districts, figuring out how cities function. When cities really work, it’s from the bottom up, she believes, while Moses and his cronies at City Hall view the situation, literally, from the top down. It’s infuriating to see vintage footage of these complacent old white guys in their isolated skyscraper towers making lifedisrupting decisions without any idea of how real people actually use space and interact down on the ground. The results of this ignorance can be catastrophic. Without a lot of activity out in neighborhood sidewalks, “eyes on the street,” as Jacobs calls it, with people stacked up vertically in isolation from each other, crime festers. Drugs and vandalism increase because, without street culture, people are driven to desperation and frustration. When Moses “rammed through” the disastrous 20-year Cross-Bronx Expressway, not only were entire neighborhoods bulldozed, but the borough was cut in half, middleclass whites in flight on one side, while low-income people were shunted into derelict highrises run by slumlords on the other. Images of the area today look like scenes of nuclear devastation. When Moses proposes The Lower Manhattan Expressway, which would have (among other things) destroyed the fabled SoHo neighborhood and imperiled Washington Square, Jacobs takes action. “As an individual, you can’t do anything,” she tells an interviewer. “But you can organize.” Tyrnauer posits that Jacobs’ influential book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, published in 1961, is as defining a moment in 20th Century radical politics as Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique (1962), and Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1963). Jacobs consistently fought for the lives and concerns of real people over insular, elitist planning goals and corporate greed. (Why destroy neighborhoods so ruthlessly? a TV interviewer asks her. Because “somebody is making money” on it, she replies.) It’s a fight we’re still engaged in right now. CITIZEN JANE: BATTLE FOR THE CITY **** (out of four) With Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses. A documentary by Matt Tyrnauer. Not rated. 92 minutes.

Next Week: Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BAYWATCH There’s drugs, murder, and a dead body on their beach. It’s probably a job for the police, but that won’t stop the Baywatch team from diving into a local criminal plot head-on, with perfect form and glistened abs, of course.

Debra Winger, Tracy Letts, Aidan Gillen co-star. (R) 94 minutes. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN You know those franchises that just can’t deal with the end, the ones that keep texting and calling, leaving desperate voicemails long after the breakup? Maybe this time they catch you in a weak moment and the last letter stapled to your front door with a bundle of semi-

wilted red roses starts to sound kind of sweet ... maybe you should take a chance on this one again, after all, there were some good times back in 2003 … Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg direct. Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem costar. (PG-13) 179 minutes.

NOW PLAYING ALIEN: COVENANT This might be the sixth movie in the Alien franchise, but heck, with so many good looking people on one spaceship sent to colonize the new planet, there might be some new plot twists possible here. Wait, who even cares, we’re just here for the aliens. Ridley Scott directs. Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup co-star. (R) 162 minutes. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST This live-action adaptation of the fairytale classic might sound pointless to you, but to Disney it sounds like “ka-ching!” Bill Condon directs. Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans co-star. (PG) 129 minutes. BORN IN CHINA Disneynature tracks China’s incredible wildlife from the Qinghai Plateau to the

Sichuan Mountains and offers a rare glimpse into the lives of pandas, monkeys, and snow leopards—oh my! Chuan Lu directs. John Krasinski, Xun Zhou co-star. (G) 76 minutes. THE BOSS BABY I want to hate this animated kid’s movie about a talking baby, because all movies about talking babies should be hated. But I’ve seen the trailer a zillion times now (give or take), and I have to admit Alec Baldwin doing his Jack Donaghy character from 30 Rock (basically) in baby form is pretty funny. (PG) 97 minutes. THE CIRCLE The Circle tech company is saving humanity, curing every disease and solving every problem. But the Circle is also watching you at every moment.

GET OUT White suburbs: the real hell. Jordan Peele directs. Allison

Williams, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield co-star. (R) 103 minutes. GIFTED Mary’s a precocious, sassy, seven-year-old with a college-level brain. She’s already doing advanced calculus, but her uncle promised her late mother that he’d give Mary a normal life.

But when his wife of 25 years dumps him and leaves him penniless, he has to figure out a new game plan. Here’s to hoping this Casanova tale isn’t a super problematic reinforcement of women as mindless conquests. Ken Marino directs. Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe co-star. (PG-13) 115 minutes. KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD The story of Arthur before he pulled the sword from the stone and became the legendary king—with a perfectly scruffed yet dashingly trimmed undercut, duh (cue eye roll). The new Arthur’s got an arsenal of nerd-out-worthy special effects, and with Jude Law as the expertly cast powerhungry king, it might be the most badass rendition of the classic tale ever told. At least, that’s what director Guy Ritchie thinks. Charlie Hunnam and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey co-star. (PG-13) 126 minutes. NORMAN Not another sequel or prequel to Psycho—Bates Motel fans can thank their stars—but rather, the story of an operator, an optimist, an enigma. Whatever you need, he’ll help you get it. Norman Oppenheimer’s tale is one of “the

moderate rise and tragic fall of a New York fixer,” as its tagline explains, and it’s being called the role of Richard Gere’s life. Joseph Cedar directs. Gere, Lior Ashkenazi, Michael Sheen co-star. (R) 118 minutes. A QUIET PASSION “You are alone in your rebellion, Ms. Dickinson.” And indeed, from her time as a defiant schoolgirl to a brazen woman who would not kneel to God or man, Emily Dickinson was. But, as Cynthia Nixon depicts, her aloneness had more to do with being out of step with the world and more in tune with the universe. Terence Davies directs. Jennifer Ehle and Duncan Duff co-star. (PG13) 125 minutes. SNATCHED Vacationing with your mother when your boyfriend has just dumped you can be somewhat stifling, even if she is Goldie Hawn. But thankfully, things get all kinds of exciting when Amy Schumer and Hawn get out of their hotel room and into a … kidnap situation. Jonathan Levine directs. Kim Caramele co-stars. (R) 91 minutes. THEIR FINEST When bombs are dropping from above, how do you escape reality? It’s 1940 England at the height of the Blitz, and Catrin needs a story to capture the nation—so, doggone it, she and the rest of the Ministry of Information will find one. Lone Scherfig directs. Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy co-star. (R) 117 minutes. THE WALL Two American soldiers are trapped in a lethal stalemate with a sniper, and their only protection is a shoddy brick wall. Doug Liman directs. Aaron TaylorJohnson, John Cena, Laith Nakli co-star. (R) 81 minutes. THE ZOOKEEPER’S WIFE It seems like Jessica Chastain has been in pretty much every movie for years now, but this time she tackles something very different in this true story of a zookeeper in 1939 Poland who puts herself and her family at risk to save lives in the Nazi-ruled Warsaw ghetto. (PG-13) 124 minutes.

Uncommon Pairing

Uncommon Brewers and el Salchichero unveil the Oasis Tasting Room & Kitchen BY CHRISTINA WATERS

bold hipster vision unfurled this week in the huge interior of the former Farmer’s Exchange. A joint venture between Uncommon Brewers and el Salchichero, the Oasis is sure to appeal to those who like their craft beers served in contemporary beer hall style. Gorgeously appointed with lots and lots of good-looking wood— original floors sanded, polished, and lacquered to glistening perfection; huge tables fit for a Bruegel wedding party cut from thick slabs of redwood. There’s a distinctly Pacific Northwest lumberjack masculinity about the

decor (even though there are also palm trees and beach photos in the lounge area). Twin Peaks at the Beach? The “public eatery” of this mega-brewpub is called Matambre, and the menu is poised to accompany and flatter the many sensational brews available, of which we sampled two on our initial visit to the brand-new establishment. Matambre’s no-fuss game plan invites you to check out the menu at the main bar, order, and pay. A very can-do staff was happy to demystify the procedure. We went for a Lardon Salad ($12.50) and Matambre Burger ($15.50), and if those prices seem a

bit unusual, it’s because they reflect an 18-percent service charge already built in to all menu items. Waiting for our orders let us scope out the lounge area, marked off by an “island” of cork flooring and punctuated by big bodacious red couches. Gorgeous. A sexy meet-up spot, especially given the flawless playlist filling the lofty ceiling space (and often submerged in criss-crossing acoustics). Bob Dylan circa 1966, Tom Tom Club of the ’80s, and Van Morrison circa 1995—for boomers and millennials who crave contact nostalgia. Beers on tap (by Uncommon Brewers) are available

in sample-friendly, midday 2-ounce pours, so we happily tried on a lovely bitter India Brown Lager ($1.75) and a fruity Framboos Blonde Ale ($2). Impeccable lager! Matambre’s debut menu is designed to accompany fine brews. Mostly small plates, inventive sandwiches and a few salads, of which I went for the vast field of frisée with a fried egg in the center. The spiky greens were playfully laced with crisp fried shallots and studded with el Salchichero’s dreamy bacon. Once pierced, the egg yolk infuses and adds satiny vigor to the buoyant greens—a bacon and egg salad. A lively idea to join with a glass of beer. My companion had to have the burger, smartly topped with melted white cheddar and pickled charred onions. The sesame bun was slathered with a terrific green goddess dressing and was sided with fries. A mega-bottle of sriracha hot sauce sits on every table. What fun to dine on these huge gleaming redwood tables, as yet without a single scratch or stain. We figured the large 10-seater communal tables can handle about 100 folks at a time. A showcase for artisanal meat specialties, the menu offers pastrami, pork belly, scrapple, chicken liver mousse, fried chicken tenders, even salmon rillettes. After 5 p.m. you and your partners can gather around a whole poussin with plenty of trimmings. Like every new ambitious venture, the Oasis is still fine-tuning itself. Stop by and sample this big-shouldered vision, finessed by a team of talented folks. Closed Mondays, Oasis Tasting Room & Kitchen and Matambre eatery open from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and until til 9 p.m. on Sunday. 415A River St., Santa Cruz. matambreeats.com

Bella Vista Italian kitchen in Aptos brings a touch of the Old World BY AARON CARNES

he first thing that will strike you about Bella Vista Italian Kitchen is the rustic charm of the building and the interior design. The idea, says owner Jan Johnson, is to give the building the same classic, traditional character that the food has. Indeed, Bella Vista’s chef Atillio Sienna is an old-school NorthernItalian-style cook who values a slow hand-made process over assembly line prep work. She spoke to us about the new Aptos spot.

JAN JOHNSON: The decision I made to open another restaurant was based simply upon my chef returning from Italy and his passion for doing what he does. He’s just incredible in the kitchen. I looked at several locations prior to landing at the Bayview Hotel. I worked for about three months on it to get it open. It has a lot of character there. It just needed a little love. My desire for that building and the work it took to open it was stronger than for something that was ready but doesn’t have the Old World charm that this building has. I like to think of myself as someone who offers the people upscale dining, but not upscale

OPEN DAILY 8AM TO 9PM

feeling. I don’t want to come off that you need a certain dress code to come in, because it’s not that way at all. It’s old-school cooking and I like the rustic oldness and the character of the building that complements that. They complement each other, I believe.

What does chef Atillio Sienna bring to the table? Everything is made with so much passion. It’s really old-style cooking. I don’t think you can find anybody that cooks the way he does. He’s from Northern Italy, born and raised. He’s opened restaurants all over the world, even in Istanbul, Turkey. His style of cooking is kind of a dying art. I know a lot of the restaurants in this area that are Italian are not Italian, they have raviolis and they send out to a company that makes them. That’s usually how people do things. Everything he makes is by hand. I don’t think you’ll find too many places where the chef handrolls his ravioli, makes his gnocchi by hand, rolls out his pasta noodles for his lasagna. 8041 Soquel Drive, Aptos. 999-0939.

blend of Rhone white varietals.

Sarah’s Vineyard Madonne Blanc 2015 reflects southern Rhone heritage BY JOSIE COWDEN

arah’s Vineyard’s Madonne Blanc is an impressive blend of several varietals—61 percent Roussanne, 18 percent Grenache Blanc, 15 percent Clairette Blanche, and 6 percent Picpoul Blanc. It’s a deliciously intricate white wine that reflects its southern Rhone heritage—sunny, bright, floral, fruity and complex. Grower and winemaker Tim Slater says, “It is our effort to emulate the traditional wines of the southern Rhone Valley. It is a marriage of California soils and climate to a classically styled blend of estategrown Rhone white varietals.” And if you want to try something a bit different, the Madonne Blanc ($30) fits the bill with its peach, lemon crème and vanilla aromas and flavors. “It will prove a refreshing pairing with summertime Mediterranean fare,” Slater says. Slater has been crafting his skills since 2001, when he purchased the winery. Before that, he had been

a DJ, a musician and a successful “micro-managing” engineer with many patents to his name. Now he has a beautiful tasting room and estate that’s well worth a visit. Sarah’s Vineyard, 4005 Hecker Pass Hwy., Gilroy, 408-842-4278. sarahsvineyard.com. Open daily from noon to 5 p.m.

SALMON RELEASE Santa Cruz Fish Company imports Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon (MCAS) from New Zealand—the first farmed salmon to get the best choice in sustainability by Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program. Mt. Cook’s salmon comes from free-flowing, pure glacial water in New Zealand’s Southern Alps—ideal growing conditions to raise freshwater king salmon. You can find it at New Leaf and local restaurants such as Shadowbrook, Palapas, Pono Hawaiian Grill, Crow’s Nest, and Johnny’s Harborside. It’s delicious!

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES NORTH AND SOUTH NODES CHANGE SIGNS We have a Gemini new Moon Thursday. The new moon highlights a shift and change in the heavens of two important points in astrology charts—the North and South Nodes (Dragon points). The nodes are neither planets nor signs. They are points in space signifying the Moon’s path crossing the Sun’s path. They are like a binding together of two cosmic principles, Solar and Lunar. The North node faces the North Pole, the South Node faces the South Pole. These points drift gradually through the months. Every 18 months, the nodes, always opposite each other, change signs. The North Node represents the Sun, and our present/future, what we are developing in our present lifetime.

The South Node represents the past, the moon and our past lifetimes. Each node holds our gifts. The North Node holds the gifts to be developed in the present lifetime. The South Node holds the gifts, talents and abilities we developed over lifetimes. Each lifetime, throughout the unfolding years, life experiences gather together our past talents and gifts. Each talent and gift gathered (remembered) creates a stepping stone. Eventually, the stepping stones (of past talents, gifts, abilities gathered from the South Node) lead us to the North Node. There we meet our dharma, our present future tasks (gifts) to be developed in this lifetime.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The focus of intention and aspiration this week must be on communication (how) and values (what are they?). The two are linked. The more we value ourselves, and others, the more ability we have to think and communicate with kindness and Goodwill. It would be good to consider yourself a World Server. One who always comes from Goodwill which creates compassionate Right Relations. A new identity.

I know you have many secret talents, hidden behind Libra’s smile and charm. Charm is Libra’s main virtue. However, power is there, too, which many don’t realize or understand. For several years, this power shows itself as discipline, responsibility, and a deep seriousness misunderstood as gloom (which you’re not). A restructuring of your self-identity is occurring. Expanding with prosperity. Conserving strength through relaxation heals what hurts.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week May 24, 2017

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You deeply influence others. Are you aware of this? There’s a magnetic appeal and charm radiating from you that many are attracted to. You’re like a light in the dark, beauty within chaos. When there’s a problem, when the general state of affairs is disrupted, it’s to Taurus that all eyes turn for direction and understanding. New projects need initiating. However, before doing so, you need deep rest. And to follow the circadian rhythms each day.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Well, Gemini, your month has arrived. We hope for you many things—friends and frivolity, cakes and cupcakes, games, parties and intelligent conversation to celebrate (more than one day is best) your new year. Birthdays don’t occur until we contact our protecting angels, presenting them with a coming-year job description of our needs and ending our day with gratitude for our very life. Happy Birthday, Gem (jewel). Solitude and retreat in community is best.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You may encounter this month various aspects that include contracts, superiors, officials, parents, work responsibilities. While interacting with important people you quietly receive recognition. All these may come into focus one way or another. If parents are alive, be very aware of their needs. If they are no longer in physical form, recite Ohm Mani Padme Hum (Tibetan chant). Do not disregard orders, authority, your credit or a mountain that beckons.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Reality appears to you in ways different than before. It’s as if veils are removed and your vision altered, becoming more refined. This continues (refinement of thought). Feelings of confusion become the potential for growth within a disciplined structure (money). Be aware of the quality of your communication. Virgos talk, talk, and talk some more in order for them to make sense of their thoughts. Try a bit of reticence (quietude) with purpose. While there, have gratitude for everything.

Who are your intimates, allies and friends? Do you have competitors (or are you beyond that)? Are you considering a change of environment due to a shift in interests, a call to a new land? What are others requesting of you? Do you have the strength for this or must you gather different friends and acquaintances to help you? Through daily life demands, you find yourself developing emotional poise. You have it all. Stand proud and tall.

So much work to do, so little time, so many demands, everyone depending on you for things great and small that your diet and health, the necessities of life could fall by the wayside. At times you feel like a servant working yourself to exhaustion without reprieve. Everything must improve - from surroundings to people to daily work methods to nourishment to stability - a central concern. It’s all around you. Let the veils fall.

OPEN TUES–SUN LUNCH & DINNER 1501 41ST AVENUE CAPITOLA 831.475.8010 EASTENDPUB.COM

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 What are the main objects of your affection? What calls forth your interests, creative talents and activities? What type of friend and lover are you and what constitutes freedom for you? You are a leader. Answers to these questions are important for your identity as leader. When you understand, you can then better promote and strengthen the interests of others. This produces within them a love for you. Including the plants you tend. The devas (beings of light who build form) love you.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Everything for a while concerns home and family, children, home, foundations, property, parents and elders and all nurturing things that make up your life. The foundations referred to also indicate later achievements in work. Think in practical ways that will improve all environments you find yourself in. Pay attention to what sustains, comforts and soothes. Provide these for yourself and ask this of others, too.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You need communication that is kind and giving, contacts that sustain a home and its comforts, environments inviting your knowledge and wisdom to come forth. Should you find yourself with people and places that do not provide these or understand you, quietly turn away. There’s no more proving yourself, no more offering and giving of self to those who cannot see, understand, hear, or receive. You’re called elsewhere.

Some group or groups are really vital to you now. They provide the social milieu leading to opportunities where hopes, dreams and wishes can be shared. Over time, new people may come into your life or perhaps community projects will emerge, the work of which only you can successfully provide. Whatever the situation, determine your ideals (what are they?), state them clearly, and move toward them with a one-pointed focused mind. Do not ignore friends.

Twenty-nine years ago, I had moved from North Hampton, Massachusetts, and was introduced to Shopper’s while working next door at Super Naturals. Since then, every time I shop eleswhere, I ask myself, ‘Why am I not at Shopper’s?’ It’s fun, friendly, and I can get everything I need. I know people — Susan, who was my boss at Super Naturals, the checkers, the meat guys, and the wine guys. They have great wines and great gins. I can get in and out in 10 minutes because I know where everything is. I even tell other customers where items are located. I love Shopper’s old classic look, and I like supporting local stores.

You prefer shopping local? I am a local businessperson, so I try to buy from and support other local businesses, like Harts for my sewing stuff. Shopper’s is family-run and they have a connection to the community. You’ll see that in the customer service. I feel acknowledged and I’m happy spending my money here. Shopper’s is my home away from home: I’m a single person and don’t need to buy in bulk from big stores. I have seen many familiar people over and over throughout the years at Shopper’s, not really knowing who they are. And then I’ll run into them somewhere else and we’ll make the ol’ Shopper’s Corner connection. That’s pretty cool.

What do you like to cook? I cook fairly simple. I have a good clean diet. Lots of veggies and a variety of fish. I love cooking every single night. It’s a ritual. For dinner it’ll be vegetables with maybe a rib eye steak or possibly a swordfish steak. The butchers are so helpful. They’ll answer all my questions and will provide me with special cuts. The other day I had planned to make a steak using my cast iron skillet. I asked what what would be the best cut. I was told to go with with a New York steak. It was excellent quality and very fresh! Shopper’s carries so many good cheeses and a variety of fresh local salsas. Their own sandwiches are great for my lunches.
