OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE After reading Hugh McCormick’s story on the trails of UCSC this week, I’m wondering how I was at that place for four years and knew about literally zero of the many hidden spots he talks about. I mean, I suppose a couple of them possibly weren’t there yet, as this was two decades ago, but clearly most of them were. I was apparently the worst Slug hiker ever. On the other hand, if GT had run a cover story like this back then, it really would have helped. I’m glad we’re doing it now, not only for locals who don’t know what great hiking there is up at UCSC, but also for students who, like me, have no idea what there is to discover on their own hill.

BEYOND ‘LOCALS ONLY’

In response to B. Cope’s letter “Locals First, Always”: I have to first say that his/her/their letter was intelligently written. However, they are not living in reality. A city or town is not a private country club that picks who lives there. This “Fuck you, Valley!” attitude is seeing a resurgence in this community, and I don’t like it. Back in the day, that was the attitude of The Lane locals who wanted the waves all to themselves. Now this mindset is being taken to the streets. I consider myself to be a local, and living here is not easy. My wife and I could barely qualify for a manufactured home. I was born in 1964, and Mr./Miss Cope’s delusion that “amazing” homes on the Westside cost next to nothing for those born around that time is laughable. I remember that when I was in my mid 20s even a starter home on the Westside was $150,000. It was hardly “amazing,” and back then that was a lot of money for most people. The need for more rental units is to accommodate the existing population. My children can’t even afford to live here, but they are packed in with their mother and her father in his home. The demand and price can be alleviated by increasing supply. Locals should be

fair, we had Elfland back then, which I’m pretty sure had the world’s highest concentration of naked college students running around in the woods at night, so we didn’t really need anything else.) Elsewhere in our Health and Fitness issue, Andrew Steingrube talks to Toadal Fitness owner Christophe Bellito about how an indie gym succeeds in an increasingly corporatized business, and the most interesting exercise trends. And our tragically departing features editor Anne-Marie Harrison (OK, it’s not that tragic, she’s going to grad school in Berlin—but still, we’re going to miss you AMH!) talks to an organizational expert about how checking our damn email is stressing us out, and what to do about it. Hope you enjoy this issue, I’ll be out on Lime Kiln Trail making up for lost time. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

first when it comes to new housing, and there are ways to ensure that. The straw man argument that new housing will bring in “outsiders” is getting old. As jobs are being filled in our area, that sometimes necessitates people needing to move here and find reasonably priced housing. As new housing (rental) is being built, current residents can move out of single-wide mobile homes (formerly packed in with six other people). Perhaps those locals who were forced to move away because they couldn’t afford to live here could come back. And perhaps my own adult children could have their own apartment. We could truly make Santa Cruz great again. Perhaps B. Cope and others with the “locals only” mantra could contact President Trump and have that wall moved from the border with Mexico to the border of Santa Cruz.

The ship Golden Rule is scheduled to arrive in Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Aug. 2, bringing with it lessons of peace. Organizers will hold a press conference for the vessel on Thursday, Aug. 3 at 10:30 a.m. by Café El Palomar, and crew members will also participate in the Hiroshima Day Vigil and Remembrance from 6-7:15 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 6, followed by a showing of the film Raising the Phoenix of Hiroshima: An Odyssey Interrupted.

Los Lobos drew a huge, happy crowd to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on Friday, July 28, and lead guitarist Cesar Rosas drew big cheers when he said he was proud to see the work that Barrios Unidos, a Santa Cruz civil rights organization, does in the community. He noted that the nonprofit will celebrate its 40th anniversary on Sept. 9 at the Cocoanut Grove.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 2 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I hope you’re making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you've been reinventing a long-term relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice. It’s possible you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been halfmute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.

This is the Season of Enlightenment for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will achieve an ultimate state of divine grace. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll be freestyling in satori, samadhi, or nirvana. But one thing is certain: Life will conspire to bring you the excited joy that comes with deep insight into the nature of reality. If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-in-the-clouds, nails-in-the-palms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano defines “idiot memory” as the kind of remembrances that keep us attached to our old self-images, and trapped by them. “Lively memory," on the other hand, is a feisty approach to our old stories. It impels us to graduate from who we used to be. "We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are," writes Galeano. "Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case." Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: "The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image."

GEMINI May21–June20 Sometimes, Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me— equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slow-dancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit. But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors? Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret—that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Liz, my girlfriend when I was young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical attractiveness. "Beauty must suffer," her mother had told her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. To make her long blonde hair as wavy as possible, for example, she wrapped strands of it around six empty metal cans before bed, applied a noxious spray, and then slept all night with a stinky, clanking mass of metal affixed to her head. While you may not do anything so literal, Cancerian, you do sometimes act as if suffering helps keep you strong and attractive—as if feeling hurt is a viable way to energize your quest for what you want. But if you’d like to transform that approach, the coming weeks will be a good time. Step One: Have a long, compassionate talk with your inner saboteur.

AUGUST 2-8, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Each of us comes to know the truth in our own way, says astrologer Antero Alli. "For some it is wild and unfettered," he writes. "For others it is like a cozy domesticated cat, while others find truth through their senses alone." Whatever your usual style of knowing the truth might be, Leo, I suspect you’ll benefit from trying out a different method in the next two weeks. Here are some possibilities: trusting your most positive feelings; tuning in to the clues and cues your body provides; performing ceremonies in which you request the help of ancestral spirits; slipping into an altered state by laughing nonstop for five minutes.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Would you scoff if I said that you’ll soon be blessed with supernatural assistance? Would you smirk and roll your eyes if I advised you to find clues to your next big move by analyzing your irrational fantasies? Would you tell me to stop spouting nonsense if I hinted that a guardian angel is conspiring to blast a tunnel through the mountain you created out of a molehill? It’s OK if you ignore my predictions, Virgo. They’ll come true even if you’re a staunch realist who doesn’t believe in woo-woo, juju, or mojo.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Some zoos sell the urine of lions and tigers to gardeners who sprinkle it in their gardens. Apparently the stuff scares off wandering house cats that might be tempted to relieve themselves in vegetable patches. I nominate this scenario to be a provocative metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Might you tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants? Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The fates have conspired to make it right and proper for you to be influenced by Sagittarian author Mark Twain. There are five specific bits of his wisdom that will serve as benevolent tweaks to your attitude. I hope you will also aspire to express some of his expansive snappiness. Now here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “My grandfather used to tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darker,” wrote I. G. Edmonds in his book Trickster Tales. “But if you let the muddy water stand still, the mud will settle and the water will become clearer,” he concluded. I hope this message reaches you in time, Capricorn. I hope you will then resist any temptation you might have to agitate, churn, spill wine into, wash your face in, drink, or splash around in the muddy water.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1985, Maurizio Cattelan quit his gig at a mortuary in Padua, Italy and resolved to make a living as an artist. He started creating furniture, and ultimately evolved into a sculptor who specialized in satirical work. In 1999 he produced a piece depicting the Pope being struck by a meteorite, which sold for $886,000 in 2001. If there were ever going to be a time when you could launch your personal version of his story, Aquarius, it would be in the next ten months. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should go barreling ahead with such a radical act of faith, however. Following your bliss rarely leads to instant success. It may take years. (16 in Cattelan’s case.) Are you willing to accept that?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Tally up your physical aches, psychic bruises, and chronic worries. Take inventory of your troubling memories, half-repressed disappointments, and existential nausea. Do it, Pisces! Be strong. If you bravely examine and deeply feel the difficult feelings, then the cures for those feelings will magically begin streaming in your direction. You’ll see what you need to do to escape at least some of your suffering. So name your griefs and losses, my dear. Remember your near-misses and total fiascos. As your reward, you’ll be soothed and relieved and forgiven. A Great Healing will come.

DATA BRAIN The new book ‘The Science of Managing Our Digital Stuff’ analyzes the way we organize our digital information, and offers more efficient, stress-free solutions.

Local psychologist Steve Whittaker on how we can more efficiently organize our digital information BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

e’ve all been there: in between deadlines, late for a meeting, over-fed and underslept, looking for that one email that Diane in corporate sent a couple of weeks ago—which folder is it in again? The inundation of digital information that we receive on a daily basis is virtually impossible for us to fully categorize, says psychologist Steve Whittaker.

“The average person has 6,000 work email messages with half of those read in their inbox, 600 unread and tens of thousands of pictures on their desktop,” says Whittaker, a professor at UCSC. “You’re never, ever going to have the time to organize those things.” Whittaker’s recent book The Science of Managing Our Digital Stuff, coauthored with Ofer Bergman, analyzes the way we organize our

digital information and presents ways that we can attempt to do so in a more efficient, stress-free way. “People feel really inherently dissatisfied with the way they manage their digital information,” he says. There are studies showing that people get really stressed by using inefficient methods to process email, says Whittaker—like checking them

as soon as they come in, which is counterproductive for other work and adds anxiety because it reminds the reader that there is always more stuff to be done. And even if checking email or looking for digital files on your desktop might seem like a small part of the work day, the tension it causes can build up.

sleep problems—these are just some of the common effects of stress on the body, experts say, and they can develop into depression, social withdrawal and more. Conjure up the image files you have on your desktop or cloud server: are they organized by date? By person? By event name? How did you come up with that label in the first place? That’s the problem, says Whittaker; our methods make sense to us, but might not be the most logical method to someone else. That’s why tech companies haven’t been able to successfully provide an organizing mechanism usable on a large scale, he says. “You’re in your mother or sister’s kitchen, and you say ‘Where’s the ladle?’ They point somewhere completely arbitrary, and that’s not where you would’ve put it, and they give you a reason of why it’s there,” says Whittaker. He began his research 20 years ago when he was working at Lotus 123, the first spreadsheet program designer. “I noticed people were building up these enormous repositories of email that they were keeping because they thought they might be useful, but presented the problem for them in terms of organization. Then they were also experiencing a lot of stress because they had overly full inboxes,” says Whittaker. “The situation today is no different.” Filing emails in designated folders doesn’t actually create a more efficient system for finding emails either, Whittaker’s research shows. Relegating messages to different folders has more to do with emotional comfort (who likes the site of a cluttered inbox?!) rather than expediency when going through the gruelling task of excavating an old message. “We did some brain imaging studies that showed when people are navigating [folders] on their machines, they use an evolutionarily older, simpler part of their brain—which can be found in pigeons, monkeys and rats—that we use for locating and

finding,” says Whittaker. It feels comfortable to go through the folders we’ve created because it’s like we left ourselves breadcrumbs straight back to that email or folder. Except we often just end up getting lost in the digital forest of files. Creating a search for the search bar requires complex verbal processing—”How was I thinking or feeling about this email three weeks ago?”—so in the moment it feels way more anxietyinducing. That’s why it’s difficult to get people to change their behavior, says Whittaker, because you’re asking them to choose a temporarily more stressful situation over the comfortable way of doing things. In the long-term, though, he says, it just works. For the day-to-day, readers of The Science of Managing Our Digital Stuff can learn tactics to get more organized, says Whittaker— although it’s not a self-help book, he says. “This isn’t rocket science, but if you introduce simple ideas based on what’s important to you, we can help you to decide what’s important and see things that are more significant to you.” Whittaker says he’s incorporated some of the methods in the book, like using the search bar to find emails, and it really does help. Even with the most rational system, though, mistakes are bound to happen, says Whittaker,. “I think it’s impossible to have a foolproof system, which is why I’ve been working on this for 20 years—it’s trying to build techniques that work with the way individuals think and then you are likely to have fewer instances of lost things. But I think there’s something intrinsically problematic with our relationship to information,” says Whittaker. “I don’t know if it’s a great recommendation to say you should be more Zen about this, I’m a tech person so that’s a weird recommendation to make, but you are going to make mistakes.”

Chip, executive director of the Downtown Association of Santa Cruz, does not argue when he hears people talk about the “housing crisis.” He knows all about rising rents and people getting squeezed out of town. Still, he wonders what impact the word “crisis” has on the decisions people make. “When you’re in crisis mode, priorities change,” says Chip, as he sips on a Kona Longboard Lager at NextSpace, while the coworking space’s weekly Friday happy hour dies down. “So how do we maintain priorities and say, ‘Yes, let’s build housing that’s gonna be sustainable, neighborhoods that are sustainable—economically, socially, culturally—that are integrated, that are safe and that are practical?’” To get the discussion moving, Chip has organized a movie screening and discussion at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge about sociologist Jane Jacobs, who authored one of his favorite books, The Life and Death of Great American Cities. Jacobs famously—and successfully—fought with New York City urban planner Robert Moses on his plans to overhaul her Greenwich Village neighborhood with sterile housing projects in the 1960s before becoming an inspiration to future generations of urban planning. Chip knows the Aug. 16 showing of Citizen Jane could be interpreted as a message to planners and developers to slow any efforts to bring in more housing. Indeed, at planning commission meetings, some neighborhood activists have invoked the film in that way. But that’s not how he sees it. Not unlike religious texts, he says people can interpret Jacobs’ teachings in a number of ways. He realizes the details of rezoning for higher density—either along the corridors or certain downtown blocks—is a controversial notion to some locals, but he doesn’t think Santa Cruz can fix its issues without building something somewhere. “I believe we need to accept that we need to build more housing. If you’re not on board with that, you’re either being selfish or you’re naïve,” he says. “And then the question is what and where and >18

Kitten Flippers

Foster program finds homes for newborn cats until they’re old enough to be adopted BY ANDREA PATTON

hen they’re young, kittens romp around until they collapse into a sleepy ball of fur. They pounce with boundless curiosity at every toy, paper bag and hand within a paw’s reach. They seek cuddly companionship with nearby people friends. Then they grow into adults, and can still be cute, but such a pet’s newfound independence and growing aloofness may feel bittersweet to its human kin, begging the question: How might a kitten lover keep young cats in their lives—without ever worrying about them growing up? Kay and Dana Mackenzie think

they have found the answer, and it lies in fostering kittens, which allows the couple to play with baby cats, while doing some important animal welfare work along the way. The Mackenzies volunteer at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, and over the course of the eight years that they’ve spent fostering kittens until they’re ready for adoption, the Mackenzies have seen a steady flow of youngins—155 so far—come through their home. The vast majority of pets in need of fostering are puppies and kittens. “They only need a two-to-three-week stay, sometimes a month or two, to become adult enough that we can vaccinate them and spay or neuter

them,” says Jen Walker, programs and development manager for the shelter. The shelter also organizes home visits, which can be anything from an overnight to a three-week stint, to learn how each animal interacts with others. The visits provide valuable information in matching a pet with the appropriate new home. Working with a team, Kay Mackenzie has created a goals sheet focusing on health and behavioral outcomes for the fostering period. Each new foster volunteer gets as much support as they need, she says. During kitten season (running from late spring through the summer), the Mackenzies >16

Housing Market Stays Strong Rates Remain Attractive For Refinancing and Purchases Q: We’re hoping to see the market cool off so we can get a better price when we buy a home in 6-12 months. Is a return to a “buyer’s market” on the horizon? A: While it does seem that outrageous price increases in the housing market have slowed, we do not see a looming “buyer’s market” coming anytime soon primarily because we do not see mortgage rates zooming up and, in our area, Silicon Valley is NOT slowing down. With most high-tech companies favoring multicultural harmony, education and a more liberal approach to immigration, it is doubtful that high tech giants will be looking to leave the tech center of the world in favor of cheap property and nothing else appealing in expanding into red states, where their employees could face various forms of prejudice. Consequently, we see Silicon Valley expanding its footprint and continuing to pour millions of dollars into housing that will keep spilling over the hill into Santa Cruz County—keeping home prices steady and continuing to increase over time. Q: Is it still a good time to refinance? We want to consolidate a HELOC and some consumer debt. We have until next June, when the HELOC is due. Should we wait or act sooner? What do available rates look like?

AUGUST 2-8, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A: In general, rates are attractive today and there is no assurance where they will be next year. The Fed may start selling their holding of bonds and mortgage securities in late 2017 or early 2018 and we have no idea what that will do to rates but it very well could push rates up.

Today, our rates for 15-, 20- and 30-year fixed start as low as 2.75% on a 15-year fixed with points and closing costs ( 2.83% a.p.r.), 3.375% WITH NO BORROWER PAID COSTS AND NO CASH OUT, along with many pricing options based in individual statistics. Our 20year fixed with NO BORROWER PAID COSTS IS AS LOW AS 3.875% (3.875% A.P.R.) and our standard 30-year fixed at $424,100 with NO BORROWER PAID COSTS AT RATES AS LOW AS 4.0-4.125% ( 4.0-4.125% a.p.r.). Mortgage rates and costs/credits are determined by individual stats like credit score, loan to value and cash out or not—so BEST TO CALL ME. 831-475-2600 Santa Cruz; 831-655-2600 Monterey; cell 831-8187700; email jchubb1@gmail.com.

NEWS KITTEN FLIPPERS <14 and volunteers like them help the shelter by taking the tiny kittens into their homes until they are old enough to get adopted out. The Mackenzie’s Finishing School, which she and husband Dana created, operates just as a boarding or finishing school for humans operates: It prepares them for their next stage in life. “It helps socialize the kittens by getting them familiar with living in a house—the sound of a dishwasher, touch of a hand, movement of a broom,” she explains. Their goal, Mackenzie says, is to “get them relaxed, feeling comfortable, social and purring.” Mackenzie, who has earned the nickname “the Kitten Flipper,” says one benefit to fostering is that volunteers get the cats when they are the cutest. Some people ask her how she doesn’t hold on to all of the kittens forever and ever. She does have one male cat, a graduate of the finishing school, that she has adopted. For her, letting them go is easy, she says. “It’s so they can make room for the next batch that is in need,” she says. “It’s my favorite thing to do. I enjoy the kittens so much, and it makes me feel like I’m really making a

difference in the lives of animals.” The shelter also has adult pets who, for varying reasons, need foster care. For example, some animals have special needs, and a home is usually much less stressful than a noisy shelter, where their recovery would be slower, Walker says. The shelter provides all needed medicine. “A home environment allows their immune system to kick in. All support is provided by the shelter,” Walker says. Santa Cruz Animal Shelter is an open-admission shelter, so no creature—whether domestic, exotic or farm animal—ever gets turned away. The shelter is even a temporary home to two friendly pot-belly pigs named Suzie Q and Shirley, as well as a flock of chickens in the property’s barn. Walker credits the close to 400 volunteers with keeping the shelter thriving. The outreach and education is funded by grants and donations, and local tax dollars take care of the basic operating costs. Volunteers photograph pets, help care for them, and manage the property’s landscaping— in addition to fostering. One volunteer put herself through a

paid apprenticeship to learn how to groom the pets that come into the shelter. “Without our community support we wouldn’t be able to offer the astounding level of care we do. We could cover the basics and make sure everyone is comfortable, but a lot of these animals are coming out of situations that are much worse than the shelter environment, and we see them blossom,” Walker says. “Everybody here is crazy about animals,” Mackenzie says. Eight years ago, Pearl Grey, who has a grey and white coat, was one of the kittens the Mackenzies fostered during their first year. She has recently returned to the shelter as an adult after her adoptive parent passed away. Kay Mackenzie says she remembers her as a kitten for her spunk and feistiness. Pearl Grey is up for adoption. Her adoption fees, like many of the older cats, are sponsored by Shelly’s Angels, an organization that covers the cost of adoption for older cats. “I’ve really always been fond of senior cats,” Walker says. “People often overlook them because their eyes are glazed over by the kittens. We’ve had adult cats stay here four, five, six months.” >19

NEWS BRIEFS WHAT’S IN STORE Retail expert Robert Gibbs painted a bleak picture of downtown Santa Cruz when he visited in the fall of 2011, as California was slowly recovering from the Great Recession. There wasn’t enough parking, he warned, and Pacific Avenue needed to be a two-way street the entire way. He applauded the city’s efforts to create a “Wayfinding” program, because he said the city’s signage was a mess. His findings were a lot to take in at the time. For instance, he found that 85 percent of the town’s retail

dollars were leaking out of the community, with shoppers heading elsewhere in droves. Five and a half years later, downtown has about the same number of parking spots. Wayfinding still isn’t finished, and efforts to rearrange the traffic on Pacific have stalled out at least four times—first because of concerns from the fire department, then over backlash from the proposed loss of parking, next over a lack of momentum, and finally over grave concerns from Walnut Avenue business owners, who felt a switcheroo might deal them a serious blow. By this point, we figured, Santa Cruz had either failed

miserably at taking good advice, or Gibbs was somehow off—and that, either way, his 100-page report had run its course. But we were wrong! Santa Cruz should be getting more of Gibbs’ tips soon, according to Bonnie Lipscomb, the town’s director of economic development. Lipscomb tells GT, via email, that she called Gibbs, and he’s coming back, under a new contract this month to “update the study and work with us and downtown merchants on the changing face of retail and how to best sustain a thriving downtown retail environment.” We’ll find out soon enough what

the renowned retail guru thinks about our current situation, as well as how he surmises the changing economy will affect Santa Cruz. Will Gibbs revisit his recommendations, with additional clarity or fresh insights? Will he tell us it’s time to get our butts in gear and stop ignoring his sage advice? Please, oh, please, will Gibbs tell us he loves us Santa Cruzans just the way we are, and then hand out tie-dye kits for everyone? Time will tell what Gibbs’ findings are, how he sells them and whether or not people end up buying in. JACOB PIERCE

Ladies, Can We Talk? Are you one of the many women who are suffering from stress urinary incontinence, the problem of involuntary leaking. Do you suffer with dryness, atrophy, or laxity?

I highly recommend Dr Lonna Larsh and her staff to any woman struggling with leakage. I know several woman who have gone the surgical route with mixed results and I never wanted to do that but I was getting to the point where it seemed my only option. After the consultation I decided to undergo the FemiLift procedure. I am happy to share that I am midway through my treatments and the leakage has almost totally stopped. I no longer have to even considering surgery. It is truly amazing! Other added bonuses are increased sensation and tightening and toning. My kegels are stronger and deeper and I even have more awareness and control of the muscles. - Christina A, Aptos CA

PAPER TRAIL Sociologist Jane Jacobs became an icon when she stopped a slew of sterile apartment buildings from being built in New York City during the 1960s.

By showing a film on her fights, the Downtown Association wants to see if there’s anything Santa Cruz can learn from Jacobs.

ON THE JANE PAGE <14 what kind of housing.” Advocates of building more housing say there is a common theme of construction shortages plaguing cities around the nation. In many cities, population, rents, and employment are all going up, while construction projects have stagnated. A recent report by Apartment List found that only 40 of the 50 biggest metropolitan regions aren’t creating enough housing to keep up with job growth. And Andrew Woo, data scientist for the site, says Santa Cruz isn’t doing that either. There is a local effort to change

that. The Santa Cruz Area Chamber of Commerce has made it a priority, having brought State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) to talk about this issue. Former Mayor Don Lane and former County Treasurer Fred Keeley are exploring a possible ballot measure to fund and build more affordable housing. Chip says he wants to have a discussion about how certain housing projects can support vibrant neighborhoods, as well as how neighborhoods can support housing. He wants to make sure there’s a variety of incomes, uses and even types of buildings. “There’s something really important about a mix of new and old buildings, for

the character of a place, but also for the economic viability of a place,” he says. “Paying rent in a new building is going to be higher than in an older building. So you need an economic mix.” He believes strongly in a diversity of uses, because that provides more customers for local restaurants and shops, with people around both day and night. It also keeps neighborhoods safer, he says, for the same reason. Diversity also means a mix of affordable, market and luxury housing units. “If you have all your affordable housing in one place, it’s just not going to work,” he says. “If you have only luxury, you have

challenges. Anywhere we have economic growth, you have more economic disparity. So we as a community need to figure out how to address the economic growth and address the social equity because if we don’t, that’s not sustainable. Not to mention, there’s the lives you’re affecting. As the rents go up, we need to figure out how to keep housing for everybody, not just the people who are benefitting from an economic boom.” Drinks with Jane, a showing of ‘Citizen Jane’ will be at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge on Friday, Aug. 16 at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge. Admission is $5.

About 75 percent of the approximately 5,000 animals that come to the shelter annually are strays. “We are finally seeing the numbers come down in a consistent manner due to a very aggressive spay-and-neuter program,” Walker says. Santa Cruz County was the first county in California to pass a mandatory spayand-neuter ordinance for all pets. But Walker says that many middle- and low-income pet owners couldn’t afford to do the right thing. Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter’s Planned Pethood Program makes it affordable for people of all income levels to get their pets spayed or neutered, vaccinated and even outfitted with microchips. “Planned Pethood is good for the animal. It keeps them healthier so they can live longer lives and gets them vaccinated,” Walker says. “It’s good for the household because you don’t have cats spraying and dogs wandering, and it’s good for the community because we are bringing down the overpopulation problem.” It is especially hard to get older cats adopted during kitten season, from May to September, Walker says. Sometimes they see up to a dozen per day come through the doors, often brought in as strays. Appropriately named, queen cats can produce two to three litters per year, with between two and eight kittens per litter. By the time she’s having her third litter, the babies from her first litter are often producing. One unfixed queen and her babies can produce around 40 kittens in a year. Walker says that’s why it’s so important to get queens spayed before they become four to six months old and they start going into heat. “Getting pets adopted is fabulous,” Walker says. “It’s the joy of our work, but it’s reactive. It’s not proactive. So, we know what the problem is. We also know what the solution is and that’s educating the public about spay/neuter and getting them involved in making sure their pets are fixed.”

The Secrets of UCSC’s trail system BY HUGH MCCORMICK

ou don’t have to be a slimy yellow hermaphroditic mollusk to take advantage of one of the finest features of UCSC—its natural beauty. UCSC’s campus covers a whopping 2,000 acres of hilly terrain, and there are miles and miles of hiking trails weaving in and out of the redwoods. Why more non-slugs don’t visit the City on a Hill is a question that has confounded UCSC admissions officer Dianne Brumbach for almost a decade. “It’s like visiting a national park,” she says. “It’s an underutilized, underappreciated gem of natural beauty and amazing, sublime resources.” For visitors to the university, finding paths and trails around campus isn’t hard. Sure, there are plenty of beautiful paths clearly visible to the general public, but in order to reach the good stuff— the crème de la crème of hikes on UCSC’s campus—you need to be in the know. In the interest of keeping things manageable, as there is seemingly no end to the trail possibilities, we’ll focus on two of the largest and coolest areas, the Pogonip and Upper Campus. Explore, have fun, and watch out for the banana slugs—they’re slow and can’t get out of your way.

POGONIP Probably best known to the general population among UCSC’s natural gifts is the splendid 640-

acre natural reserve known as Pogonip. Both town and gown types have long used the eight miles of trails that weave through Pogonip’s ancient redwoods, oaken woodlands, grasslands, and prairies as an escape—a stressfree place for exercise, retreat and relaxation. The “nip’s” lush city greenbelt and mind-bending ocean views make it a prime hiking destination for the general public, but there are spots that are lesser-known to the public outside of Slugdom. Getting to Pogonip from UCSC is a piece of cake since the park hugs the entire left half of UCSC. You’ll want to park your car and enter the park at Stevenson College, and then make your way to McLaughlin Drive. Follow McLaughlin Drive from Stevenson and the entry to Pogonip will be on your left. This is the Lime Kiln Trail, a path that, while not labeled, is pretty noticeable and clear from the road. It will lead you into Pogonip and eventually connect you to every major trail system in the park. Navigating the complicated system of paths and trails can be frustrating without a guide. Luckily, there is a pretty amazing online map of all of the trails in Pogonip—one that even includes miles and ranks the difficulty of each and every trail—at cityofsantacruz.com. If you intend to spend a day in Pogonip, print out the map and then use the guide below to navigate the park and reach 22> every secret spot.

Koi Pond: Much cooler than the one at Porter College, a natural spring feeds this small, peaceful koi pond where small fish dart in and out of the clear water under a canopy of trees. Colorful prayer flags that weave in and out of the majestic greenery signal that you have arrived at your destination. Also called “the Buddha Pool” or the “Spring Box,” there is a tranquility and holiness to this place that is impossible to ignore. Tufa rock, formed by calcium carbonate from the area’s limestone-rich rocks, lines the perimeter of the pond. Students and hikers use the koi pond as a place of meditation and introspection. It’s a relatively easy hike that is well worth it in the end. The fish here may look small, but they will grow larger—legend says they swim upstream and become dragons. It’s pretty easy to find this little piece of paradise, just a few minutes from campus. Enter the Lime Kiln Trail from McLaughlin Drive and walk until you see a trail on your right. The Spring Box Trail leads to the stream that flows into the Koi Pond, and inner peace. Twenty feet from the koi pond is another UCSC legend: the 1500-yearold tree. No one really knows the tree’s true age, but students have long stood at the foot of this ancient redwood, marveling at its twisted limbs and huge bulbous growths. It’s one of four old-growth redwoods living in Pogonip—spared the axe by loggers in the mid-1880s. Lime Kilns: In the 1880s, Santa Cruz was lime central. Abandoned lime kilns and quarry sites are scattered throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, especially in Pogonip and around the campus of UCSC. Ferns and mosses now shroud the walls of most of the kilns, and it takes a keen eye and an adventurous spirit to find them all. Reach the Lime Kilns by crossing McLaughlin Drive and entering Pogonip through the Lime Kiln Trail. Walk around a half-mile until you see a stone wall and wooden fence on your left. There is a haunting beauty here that is hard to describe, and really must be experienced firsthand.

THE HEALTH & FITNESS ISSUE Rock Garden: There is a special place near the Lime Kilns where students make “birdies”—impossible little rock stacks—and sculptures. This is a secret and revered site, where scores of carefully executed rock formations are placed among towering trees and ferns and moss-covered cliffs. Art and craft are respected here, and students and visitors are encouraged to add their own rock masterpiece, without disturbing other people’s creations. To reach the Rock Garden from the Lime Kilns, leave the trail and walk toward the mountain. With a little sleuthing, you should find what you’re looking for. Big Rock Hole: It’s a legend, a mystery, and a state of mind. It’s fake! Big Rock Hole, also known as the “Student Garden of Eden” or the “Fake Garden of Eden,” is a famous swimming hole on the San Lorenzo River. Surrounded by stunning redwood panoramas, it’s extremely popular with the UCSC crowd, who often confuse it with the real Garden of Eden spot further down the river. This locale is all about recreation—a slightly scary rope swing tied to a large tree provides the necessary equipment for a fun day of cannonballs and flips. On hot days and weekends, the trail to Big Rock Hole gets crowded with adventure-seeking Slugs in need of escape and a place to cool off. If there are too many partying college hooligans for you, walk a ways down the river and claim a quieter spot of your own. To reach UCSC’s top-secret recreation destination, park around Stevenson College, cross McLaughlin Drive and enter Pogonip through the Lime Kiln Trail. On a hot day, the whoops and hollers of students will guide you to Big Rock Hole, but just to be safe, print a map to guide you on your journey. (This hike will take a while, so wear your walking shoes and bring water and caloric fuel.) After a short jaunt down the Lime Kiln Trail, you’ll see the Rincon Trail tailing left. Take it, then veer left onto the Rincon Connector Trail. Follow that to the Rincon Fire Road, a trail that meanders downhill through the redwood forest. Once you reach the bottom of the hill, walk past the signs (no lifeguard on duty) and

map, but if you print one, you should be able to find your way through the network of trails and roads and have a great time. Buddha Hut: Definitely one of the coolest and most spellbinding parts of Upper Campus, the Buddha Hut, or Buddha Pit, has been captivating wandering Slugs for many years. An incredible series of structures, the Buddha Hut is actually a giant fort built with thousands of intertwined manzanita trees, sticks, and branches. Hard to find, but completely recognizable once you happen upon it, the Buddha Hut is a go-to destination for those seeking a peaceful place to meditate, ruminate, or peacefully congregate.

complete with rolling meadows, vibrant and fragrant chaparral, fernfilled gullies, and ancient redwoods. Funky places like the Cat Shrine, the Buddha Hut, and the Graffiti Tanks make incredible hiking destinations, and worthy additions to any Slug Hike bucket list. Getting to Upper Campus is pretty basic—park at College 9, College 10, or Crown and walk north, away from the buildings and toward the forest. West Road, Fuel Break Road, and Red Hill Road are probably the easiest entry points, but walk a while anywhere in Upper Campus and you’re sure to find yourself back on a main path or road eventually.

Dreamcatchers, Buddha statues, trinkets, and ornaments are woven in and out of the branches and sit in the corners of individual “rooms.” The serene oasis in the woods is respected and revered by UCSC students and other visitors who visit and revisit the “Hut” for spiritual enrichment and inner peace. No one takes the valuable Buddhas that are left behind for other seekers. Leaving an “offering” of good heart is an unwritten law of the Buddha Hut, and one of the coolest parts of visiting this Upper Campus gem is seeing the gifts others have left behind. It’s hard to find—some students spend days looking for the Buddha Hut and never find it. Take Fuel Break Road behind College 9 and 10, and when the trail widens, follow a small trail to your right. With a bit of exploring, and some luck you’ll come across it. Graffiti Tanks: Rogue UCSC art students have long used the gigantic abandoned water and fuel tanks that dot Upper Campus to create Banksy-esque masterworks. These aren’t random tag signs and rushed monochrome scrawls. Painted and repainted, the water and fuel tanks that line Fuel Break Road have become artistic showcases, and go-to destinations for street and guerilla art enthusiasts. To reach the series of Graffiti Tanks in Upper Campus, follow Fuel Break Road from the top of Merrill and Crown colleges. Cat’s Cradle and Caer Ellillon: Freaky. Dark. Mysterious. Haunted? The series of sacred circles that lies deep within the dense forest of Upper Campus has long captivated, enthralled, and scared the bejeebers out of hiking UCSC students. The carefully orchestrated ritual sites and pet cemetery to the north of campus are actually products of a small Wiccan coven that called UCSC home more than 25 years ago. Since then, the legend of the “weirdness in the woods” has grown steadily, and generations of wandering Slugs have given the funky, creepy, circular redwood rings many names: Cat’s Cradle, the Cat Shrine, the Pagan Circle, Caer Ellillon, the Cat Graveyard ... But each meticulously planned site has a real name, says Dany, who, as

THE HEALTH & FITNESS ISSUE a key member of Coven Coil Sidhe (Elven Wood), helped create the Wiccan wonderland we see today. Dany and her coven built two distinct sacred areas in Upper Campus: Caer Ellillon and Cat’s Cradle. Because they are relatively close together and follow the same circular pattern, she says that there’s a common misconception that they are one and the same. Cat’s Cradle began as a simple burial site for Dany’s cat Andy, and quickly blossomed into a full-on pet cemetery. Walls of intertwined redwood branches create two connected circles, which overlap and create the two distinct areas of the Cradle. In the middle of the smaller circle is a waterproof box containing a journal and art supplies. Visitors are encouraged to share their thoughts, memories, pictures, and prayers; over the years, seven complete volumes have been filled with amazing artwork and heartwarming/breaking stories. The keepers of Cat’s Cradle save every journal and eventually intend to make PDFs and put them online for posterity. Steps from Cat’s Cradle stands Caer Ellillon, a ritual circle built by Coven Coil Sidhe more than two decades ago. The perfect circle stands alone, in a clearing bordered by a thick wall of fallen redwood branches, under an odd, seemingly out-of-place totem pole. For the sacred circle’s creators, Caer Ellillon was a place of seriousness, wisdom, and magic. It was also a sanctuary. The carefully placed redwood walls held the coven’s secrets and sheltered it from the outside world. “Caer” literally means stronghold or fortress in Old Welsh, and that’s exactly what the founders created in the Upper Campus of UCSC. Four stumps serve as altars in the cardinal directions and the circle holds just as much power now as it did back when it was created. To get to Caer Ellillon and Cat’s Cradle, enter Chinquapin Road at the access point to Upper Campus near the top of Crown College and Merrill College. After a moderate hike on Chinquapin Road, you should be able to see Cat’s Cradle from the trail, on your right.

of his time and that he was tired of commuting, so he looked to open a gym locally. That is when his mentor and business partner Bill Rose pushed him to take over the space in Santa Cruz that would become the first Toadal Fitness. “I opened more clubs because I didn’t want people to wait for equipment. It didn’t feel right,” says Bellito, whose most recent club opened in Scotts Valley in July of 2015. For him, it’s all about the user experience and the individual person. In fact, he says that one regret that he and his wife have about opening multiple clubs is that they can’t meet everybody personally. “We don’t see people as dollar signs, we see them as people with names and faces,” he says. “We

Christophe Bellito opened a gym in downtown Santa Cruz in 1997 under the name Frog Fitness. Two decades and one name change later, he and his wife Cecile now own a total of five Toadal Fitness locations around Santa Cruz County. The first gym Bellito opened was actually a women’s club in Richmond, California. “It was a wonderful experience,” he says. “I worked a lot, six days and 80-90 hours per week, and slept on the floor.

THE HEALTH & FITNESS ISSUE

“We don’t see people as dollar signs, we see them as people with names and faces. We like to learn about each person’s story, and learn from them.” - CHRISTOPHE BELLITO

STAYING AHEAD OF THE CURVE One trend Toadal Fitness is following is clients’ desire for shorter, more efficient workouts, and classes like Yoga, Zumba and Spin. A major trend that Bellito has seen recently is people using apps on their phones

to guide their workouts and bring structure and plan to their exercise regimens. In terms of equipment and machines, he also sees the trend toward shorter, more intense workouts. He says one new machine that accomplishes this is called the TG6, an easy-to-use recumbent bike that also works the upper body. Treadmills, he says, are also making a comeback, and classes are as popular as ever, with his clubs collectively offering about 350 a week. Another budding trend he’s seen is that people are starting to realize the value of variety. “People are more open to new things and how it’s good to keep the body guessing,” he says. “More people are utilizing cross-training and varying their workouts. You shouldn’t be doing the same thing for 20 years; not only do the muscles get bored, but you yourself get bored, as well.” And whereas in the past, 20-40 year olds made up most of the membership, Bellito says he has recently seen a surge in the number of older adults that are coming to the clubs. Bellito emphasizes the importance of a warm and welcoming environment, and a feeling of communal familiarity that provides the backbone for the clubs’ ethos. “My favorite part is doing what I want, whenever I want, and having more time for my family and kids,” he says about owning Toadal Fitness. “Even when I go into the clubs, I’m still around family because of the members and staff, so I’m always around family. Ever since I opened the club, it feels like I haven’t worked a single day, because I’m doing something I love.”

like to learn about each person’s story, and learn from them.” Bellito believes in the importance of a variety of user-friendly equipment and classes that cater to all levels. He is excited to be offering a new class called Toadal Loser (a play on NBC’s The Biggest Loser) that utilizes a group setting combined with nutrition training to turn intentions into actions. He believes that diet is very important—when people eat well, they feel good and exercise more. And the more they exercise, the better they eat and feel, and that this positive spiral is crucial to achieving optimal health and fitness. When it comes to staying on the cutting edge of the fitness industry, Bellito again stresses an open mind and ear to member feedback. “That’s an advantage of being a small, local club. We can make changes and adapt to what each club’s members want.” Bellito says this flexibility in the constantly changing fitness landscape is one thing that sets them apart from larger corporate gyms, and that another is their individualized approach. Three free personal training sessions are offered to each new member so that he or she can meet people, learn how to use the equipment properly, and help get totally acclimated and comfortable.

TUTU SCHOOL SCOTTS VALLEY Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there lived a little girl named Corinne, who believed in the magic of fairytales. That little girl grew up doing pliés, frappés and relevés and dreamed of one day teaching other little girls to dance, but decided she had some other things to accomplish first – as in any good fairytale adventure. Corinne held dreamy corporate positions such as director of public relations for Popchips, Bloomingdale’s San Francisco and Shutterfly, Inc, but throughout her career endeavors one thing remained a constant: her love and passion for dancing. Corinne is embracing her childhood dream with the opening of Tutu School Scotts Valley earlier this year. Combining her professional experience and lifelong obsession for the performing arts, she brings her enchanting teaching style to little dancers in our community. Tutu School offers ballet instruction for kids 18 months to 8 years old. Classes, birthday parties and camps are offered throughout the year.

FRIDAY ART TOUR

FIRSTFRIDAY

FIRST AUGUST FEATURES Robert Azensky Fine Art and Antiques – Marie Sarni

Radius Gallery – SCRAP 1050 River Street #127 6-9pm Many artists work with found materials and employ an artistic process to reuse materials and thus keep things from an otherwise inevitable fate in the landfill. The Santa Cruz Recycled Artist Project goes a step further, providing access for artists to source their media directly from the landfill. The results of a four-month residency of artists Su Evans, Lisa Hochstein, Alex Khah and Rachel Maryam Smith will be on display at Radius Gallery all month, with Artist Talks on August 20. SCRAP is a program of the Santa Cruz City Arts Commission.

846 Front Street, 5-9pm The Vet’s Hall is home to a wide range of communities, and has many uses. This First Friday the building will be overtaken with arts. Music, poetry and a plethora of visual art and artists will be on every floor. Plus there will be delicious food and valuable information throughout the night from not-for-profit service providers.

Come meet and see wonderful abstract expressionist paintings from rediscovered San Francisco Beat Generation painter Marie Sarni (b.1931). She studied with Richard Diebenkorn, Nathan Oliveira, Elmer Bischoff, Willem de Kooning and Wally Hedrick. Marie was a member of, and moved in the circles of, the most significant Bay Area beat generation painters. She has wonderful stories from that time and about these world-renowned artists.

FILM

HAUNTED ART HOUSE Rooney Mara in ‘A Ghost Story,’ written and directed by David Lowery.

Spirited Awry AUGUST 2-8, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Substance fails to materialize in ‘A Ghost Story’ BY LISA JENSEN

try not to read movie reviews if I can help it—certainly not before I see a movie, and usually not before I write my own review. But left perplexed after seeing A Ghost Story, I consulted Rotten Tomatoes for a sampling of pullquotes from other critics, just to get a sense of what other people were thinking. To my astonishment, I found a majority of quotes citing (in so many words) a haunting meditation on love, memory, and grief. If only. Writer-director David Lowery is a longtime art house movie editor and filmmaker trying to carve out a reputation as a visual stylist. His spiritual godfather is Terrence Malick,

as evidenced in Lowery’s last personal film, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, an atmospheric tale of a bank robber and his girlfriend drenched in backwoods Southern ambience. If it was never clear what all that atmosphere was evoking, the film still had an intermittent sense of visual splendor. On the other hand, A Ghost Story seems to pride itself on its lowbudget, DIY look. The central image in the movie and the poster is a bedsheet with eyeholes cut out of it, like a kid’s Halloween costume. Onscreen, the image is often boxed into a square, framed by wide black bands on the sides, as if the movie were shot on somebody’s phone. You don’t need a big budget, Lowery seems to be suggesting, to tell a good story.

But it’s the storytelling aspect of the movie that fails to materialize. Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara (who also starred in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints) play an unnamed young couple about to move out of a plain, ranch-style rented house in a semi-rural neighborhood. Strange, unexplained noises and eerie lights sometimes startle them awake at night. But a sudden, not extremely credible twist of fate alters their plans, and their lives. It’s not giving away any more of the plot, as fragile as it is, to reveal that a ghostly presence in that bedsheet is soon lurking about the premises. Other renters come and go, none of whom can see it. When a woman moves in with her kids,

our sheeted entity starts futzing with the lights and throwing dishes around, becoming that family’s poltergeist. This is sort of an interesting idea, that we might be watching a haunted-house movie told from the viewpoint of the ghost. So is the moment when the sheeted one spies another bedsheet in the window of the house next door. (They communicate, via subtitles, with a kind of special Sheety-Sense.) Later, it was momentarily intriguing to think that each “ghost” represents the accumulated memories of all the previous occupants of its house— which may (or may not) tie into the movie’s bizarre side-trips into the neon future and pioneer past of the house itself. But while watching the movie, I had no such epiphany. Individual plot points don’t add up. Shots are held way, way too long, as if length would invest them with the weight of meaning. (We spend five minutes watching Mara eat a pie.) And there’s almost no dialogue to give us narrative clues—except for one guy (Will Oldham) who won’t shut up, blathering on about how life and art are pointless, despite the human urge to create something to “make sure you’re still around after you’re gone.” If this is a hint at the ghostsheet’s existential despair, shouldn’t it all feel more, you know, profound? If a movie refuses to make linear sense, we expect to be affected on some deeper level that makes it all worthwhile. But Lowery’s narrative obscurity fails to make you feel anything. Of course, art is subjective: what you get out of it depends on what you bring to it. Message and meaning can be teased out of almost anything, if you’re willing to invest enough time and persistence, searching for that “Aha!” moment. But if a movie obstinately refuses to convey meaning during the experience of watching it—without prompts—then it’s not doing its job.

A GHOST STORY (**) With Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Written and directed by David Lowery. An A24 release. Rated R. 87 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK DARK TOWER The tower is all that stands between light and darkness in this long-awaited Stephen King adaptation. Matthew McConaughey is the devil, only worse, but it’s OK because Idris Elba is a badass gunslinger who’ll save the world with the help of an unflappable little boy. Nikolaj Arcel directs. Katheryn Winnick, Elba, McConaughey co-star. (PG-13) 95 minutes. DETROIT It’s Detroit, 1967. Dismukes is a security guard on duty when he hears gunfire—police are there, there’s a lot of shooting and three kids end up dead. Now Dismukes is being questioned by the police. Based on the true story of the Algiers Motel incident where, in the midst of the 12th Street Riot, seven people were horrifically terrorized by police and three black teenagers ended up dead. I bet the people who survived that incident thought things would be different 50 years in the future. Kathryn Bigelow directs. John Boyega, Anthony Mackie, Algee Smith costar. (R) 143 minutes.

AUGUST 2-8, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER Despair can be paralyzing. But Al Gore returns to the big screen to tell you that there is hope—and to get your ass in gear to fight for this planet. Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk direct. Al Gore, Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump co-star. (PG) 98 minutes.

LADY MACBETH She was bought with the land, and her role as wife is to stay inside and read. But when the rooster’s at bay, the chickies go out to play—and when chickies get a taste for a different kind of fun, there’s no saying what can happen. “Imagine Alfred Hitchcock directing Wuthering Heights” sounds exactly right for this 19th-century drama set in rural England. William Oldroyd directs. Florence Pugh, Cosmo Jarvis, Paul Hilton co-star. (R) 89 minutes. KIDNAP Halle Berry’s son has been kidnapped, and instead of waiting for the cops (if this were a commentary on the relationship

between communities of color and the police, that would’ve been something), she goes on a vigilante car chase, crashing into things and screaming a lot, which causes many spectacular—and probably lethal!—accidents along the way. Of course the folks who did Salt and Transformers thought a child’s kidnapping story would be the perfect background for a car chase movie. Luis Prieto directs. Halle Berry, Sage Correa, Chris McGinn co-star. (R) 94 minutes. SPECIAL SCREENINGS: Royal Opera House “Otello,” 7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 8. Nickelodeon, 210 Lincoln St., Santa Cruz. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING ATOMIC BLONDE She’s an expert in escape and evasion— and maintaining a poker face, obviously—but for an MI6 agent, Lorraine Broughton’s English accent really is terrible. And wow, wow, she’s bi too? Putting in that lesbian spy sex scene (gee, wonder what audience that was added for) must be a sign of progress, not a cheap tactic to ramp up the sex appeal in an otherwise completely prudish film ... David Leitch directs. Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman costar. (R) 115 minutes. BABY DRIVER A young getaway driver, aka “Young Mozart in a gocart over there,” wants out. But Kevin Spacey has orchestrated one last bold and brazen heist, and he won’t do it without his man. Too bad it’s doomed to fail. Edgar Wright directs. Ansel Elgort, Spacey, Lily James co-star. (R) 113 minutes. THE BIG SICK Kumail starts dating Emily and things are going great. Except, Kumail’s family is

on a serious quest for Kumail’s future bride—a Pakistani Muslim like him, not a white American girl. With Holly Hunter and Ray Romano as Emily’s disapproving parents and the production genius of Judd Apatow, The Big Sick has been called “the most authentic romantic comedy in years.” Michael Showalter directs. Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Hunter costar. (R) 119 minutes. CARS 3 He’s at the top of his game, but every time Lightning McQueen loses a race he damages himself. Now it’s his last chance to race on his terms and prove to the upstart cars that he’s still number one. Brian Fee directs. Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Chris Cooper co-star. (G) 109 minutes. DESPICABLE ME 3 Gru is out of a job, so when his long-lost twin brother appears with a fleet of cars, helicopters and all the money in the world, the lure of one last crime job is too tempting. Eric Guillon, Kyle Balda, Pierre Coffin directs. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Trey Parker co-star. (PG) 90 minutes. DUNKIRK They were so close to home, they could almost see it. More than 340,000 soldiers on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, surrounded by the German army, with little left to expect but certain death. Probably a far-too-real depiction (it’s Christopher Nolan, after all) of how the “colossal military disaster” turned around with the help of merchant marine boats, fishing boats, lifeboats and everything inbetween. Nolan directs. Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance co-star. (PG-13) 106 minutes. THE EMOJI MOVIE In the world of emojis, you’re given one emotion and one emotion only—or else. So for Gene, who is multi-expressional, things get interesting when he’s got to find his source code and fix his glitch or be discarded for good. Tony Leondis directs. T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris co-star. (PG) 86 minutes. A GHOST STORY Reviewed this issue. (R) 92 minutes.

GIRLS TRIP OK, so Variety’s Peter Debruge was definitely not the right guy to review Girls Trip, but we’re going to try to be slightly less tone deaf moviegoers and say that this movie looks damn funny. (Conjure up the image of Jada Pinkett Smith getting stuck mid-air over a huge crowd in a New Orleans street and explosively peeing all over them. Yes.) Plus, the long-overdue Queen Latifah/Jada Pinkett Smith reunion! Malcolm D. Lee directs. Regina Hall, Latifah, Pinkett Smith co-star. (R) 122 minutes THE HOUSE Scott and Kate Johansen are thrilled when their daughter Alex gets into her dream college. But then they find out that 401K does not mean they have $400,000, and they have to find another way to make their baby girl’s dreams come true. Naturally, they turn to a life of crime. Andrew Jay Cohen directs. Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jason Mantzoukas co-star. (R) 88 minutes. THE JOURNEY Two sworn political enemies, one van. In 2006, during the Northern Ireland peace talks, Martin McGuinness and Ian Paisley are forced together for a very long ride to the talks that would shape the course of the war—everything depended on this car ride. Nick Hamm directs. Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney, John Hurt co-star. (PG-13) 94 minutes. THE LITTLE HOURS Abusive language, lustfulness, homosexuality, drugs‚ apostasy, eating blood—this isn’t your average nunnery. Headed by Alison Brie, Kate Micucci and Aubrey Plaza, this tale of nuns gone bad has been called “pure trash” by the Catholic League. Jeff Baena directs. Dave Franco co-stars. (R) 90 minutes. THE MIDWIFE Thirty years after having disappeared without a trace, the woman whose departure lead her father to commit suicide (the legendary Catherine Deneuve) phones Claire out of the blue. Martin Provost directs. Deneuve, Catherine Frot, Olivier Gourmet costar. (NR) 117 minutes.

SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING Stark made him the suite, so now he’s got to live up to the legacy. But after stopping bike thieves and helping grandmas out around the neighborhoods, little Spider Man might’ve gotten himself into a situation that might prove too big for his britches. Jon Watts directs. Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr. co-star. (PG-13) 133 minutes. TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT They kept the legend hidden for a thousand years to protect Earth. Now, redemption will be sought—or something like that. More importantly, though, is Michael Bay bae? Bay directs. Bay directs. Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci co-star. (PG-13) 150 minutes. VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS Two wooden figurines passing off as adolescents are supposed to save the universe. Help us, Bad Girl Ri Ri, you’re our only hope. Luc Besson directs. Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen co-star. (PG-13) 137 minutes. WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Another movie where humans come off looking not as good as monkeys. Matt Reeves directs. Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn co-star. (PG13) 180 minutes. WONDER WOMAN Things were simpler for the princess of the Amazons before modern warfare showed up in Diana’s sandy paradise and a handsome Chris fell from the sky. Once she learns of the war to end all wars, Diana leaves home to become Wonder Woman and fulfill her destiny. Directed by a female director and played by Gal Gadot? Gurl Power shirts on people, this is about to get real. Patty Jenkins directs. Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright costar. (PG-13) 141 minutes.

WESTERN EXPANSION Winemaker Jim Schultze of Windy Oaks Winery, which just opened a new tasting room in Carmel Valley.

Taste of the Valley Windy Oaks unveils its newest tasting room in Carmel Valley BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ne of my favorite summer day trips has always been to drive south for about an hour, turn left where the lazy Carmel Valley begins to thread its way through those steep coast ranges, and inhale the radiant California countryside. If you need an excuse to wend your way southward, read on!

The splendid Pinot Noirs from Windy Oaks Estate have a way of lingering long in my memory. It was love at first sip the day I visited the estate vineyards in Corralitos and realized that winemaker Jim Schultze knew his way around the graceful style of Burgundy. For the past 20 years, Schultze has transformed his hillside estate grapes into nuanced

examples of Santa Cruz Mountains terroir. Current releases include at least half a dozen Pinot Noirs, each one distinctive and accessible. In addition to the estate tasting room—perched on a spectacularly beautiful hillside—Jim and Judy Schultze opened a tasting room in oh-so-charming Carmel-bythe-Sea a few years ago. But that

The Saturday, Aug. 5, the Community Bridges Farm to Fork Gala Dinner gives us a chance to swill live music and enjoy a freshly created multi-course dinner with beer from World Beer Cup winner Discretion Brewing and awardwinning wines from Beauregard Vineyards. Enjoy a long evening of midsummer pleasures in support of the many worthy causes engaged by Community Bridges. This summer is the philanthropic program’s 40th anniversary, marking four decades of support for 10 programs that collectively serve 22,000 children, families and seniors in Santa Cruz County each year. But not all community causes are this delicious. For the special evening, ace caterer Marina Carmalinghi’s menu includes: appetizers of skewered spicy prawns, baked brie in puff pastry, and tomato, mozzarella, kalamata skewers. Entrees of heirloom tomato, burrata and basil, or lemon thyme chicken with artichokes, or grilled salmon with pineapple salsa. The dinner wraps up with chocolate Kahlua cakes with fresh California Giant Berry Farms berries and cream. Tickets are $125 per person, $750 for a table of six, or $1,200 for a VIP table of eight. Tickets and event details are available online at eventbrite.com. Aug. 5 from 5:30-10 p.m. at Aptos Village Park (100 Aptos Creek Road, Aptos).

DOUBLE DUTCH Michelle McKay will bring her pop-up Efi’s to Assembly on Aug. 4 and the Church Street Fair on Aug. 5-6. Photo: KEANA PARKER

Efi’s Dutch Indo Pop-up celebrates fusion of Dutch and Indonesian cuisine BY AARON CARNES

ast summer, Michelle McKay started doing pop-ups in Santa Cruz County. Her food, Dutch-Indonesian, is truly unique, and unlike anything else in the county. She started off doing popups on an occasional basis, but more recently has been ramping up, and now generally produces one a week. This week, she’ll be at PopUp at Assembly on Friday, Aug. 4 from 5:309 p.m., and at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music’s Church Street Fair in front of the Civic Auditorium on Aug 5-6 from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. What kind of food does she serve, exactly? We’ll let McKay explain.

GOOD TIMES: What is DutchIndonesian food? MICHELLE MCKAY: What happened in the 16th century is the Dutch colonized Indonesia for the spice trade. Before the Dutch came back from Indonesia, Dutch food was mostly meat and potatoes. More vegetables, little meat. When the Dutch colonists returned to the Netherlands, they brought back all these different spices from Indonesia. Indonesian dishes became more popular in Holland in the 20th century.

The pop-up is named after your mother? Yes, but my dad did most of the cooking in my household. I think he would be happy that I named it after my mother. Both my parents were Dutch-Indonesian and lived in Indonesia until the end of World War II. They left as refugees with three kids to Holland, where they lived for many years, having three more kids. They landed in Ellis Island on Aug. 10, 1962, where they made America their new permanent home. Having two more kids, I was the baby of eight. Being so young when my dad got sick and retired is why I learned to cook the way I do. I remember sitting with him and watching him cook.

Where is a good place for the uninitiated to start with your menu? The one thing that I definitely always serve is the satay, because it’s an Indonesian-style satay, which is a lot different than Thai satay. It contains sweet soy sauce, rather than being curry- or coconut-based. heypopup.com/events/efis-dutch-indo.

Sones Cellars Classic Zinfandel 2013 is the perfect barbecue companion BY JOSIE COWDEN

hat goes well with meat and zesty barbecue? The answer is Zinfandel. This spicy, jammy wine is a fine match with just about anything barbecued or grilled— and it’s also fabulous with pizza. Thanks to the expertise of winemaker Michael Sones, it’s a sure thing that the full-throttle flavor of a good Zin will be captured in every bottle. Sones’ 2013 Zinfandel ($26) certainly garnered a lot of attention at the Dare to Pair Food & Wine Competition in April. It was voted best wine by the public and judges alike. And as one of the judges that day, I ranked this wine highly out of the bevy of excellent varietals we tasted. Students of the Cabrillo College culinary program go to great lengths to prepare dishes to pair with each wine in the competition, resulting in a fun and flavorful day at every participating winery in the Swift Street Courtyard complex. Sones and his wife Lois Sones say that this classic Zinfandel is made from some of their favorite grapes— sourced from Central California— and resulting in briary cherry

aromas and flavors, along with warm spices. All I can add is that this well-balanced and approachable Zin is the perfect libation to go with a plateful of good barbecue. Sones Cellars, 334-B Ingalls St., Santa Cruz, 420-1552. sonescellars.com.

ART FOR AFRICA Where would we be without the generosity of wineries, breweries and restaurants donating their wares to help people in need? Kobler Estate Winery in Healdsburg has donated much of the wine for an event to be held in Aptos on Saturday, Aug. 12 to raise funds for a research project to help women in Mansa, Africa get access to the health care that they need. Zameen Mediterranean Cuisine in Aptos (and now with a new location on 41st Avenue in Santa Cruz) has donated most of the food. Funds will be raised through a raffle of art from local artists, as well as health and wellness gift certificates. Visit AFnet.org/donations and go to Mansa Health Assessment, or for more info go to amyhanley.blogspot.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LEO-SIRIUS FESTIVAL: THE HEART OF THE MATTER Monday, Aug. 7, is a lunar eclipse, full moon (15.25 degrees Leo) and the Leo/Sirius Festival. At lunar eclipses, something in our outer material world disappears, it’s work complete. Leo is always the heart of the matter. During the month of Leo, love streams forth from the blue star Sirius to the heart of the Sun and into all hearts on our planet. Everywhere, the golden lotus petals of the heart, 12 in all, begin to unfold. It is in the heart where the inner and the outer worlds meet. Like the color green (Earth) blending with violet (the etheric), here the visible becomes the invisible. In the heart is the Life Thread (Sutratma). The heart is the anchoring point of electric fire, a point of Love, the “Jewel in the Lotus.” At this Festival, the New Group of World Servers makes contact with Sirian force from Sirius, the blue-white star where Love originates. The great avatars, masonry, the hierarchy,

and all evolutionary energies originate from Sirius, the brightest star in our heavens. Sirius streams through Regulus (the Lawmaker), the heart of the Lion. The LeoSirius connection is central to humanity’s spiritual evolution and the building of the new unifying world religion. During the Sirius-Leo Cosmic Festival, the Soul light within us becomes aware of the Spiritual light emanating from Sirius. This great Sirian light offers humanity a direct pathway to the heart of God, and new opportunities to build the Aquarian culture and civilization. Jupiter is the heart lotus (unfolded chakra) unfolding within us the Love/Wisdom needed for the Aquarian Age. An open heart and mind, with intention, helps us make contact with Sirius. The heart of all that matters.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

There may be that tug-of-war in all interactions - with intimates, close family, partners and friends. A new creative cycle begins in all relationships. Love and equality will be needed by and for everyone. You can help this occur by offering freedom, the result of unconditional love. With children, freedom is offered through loving disciplines and intelligent structures. Like Montessori. A question for you to ask yourself is, “How can I love more?”

Something is occurring in the way you think and in your physical body. Perhaps it’s a health-discipline that will change the shape of your body. Perhaps it’s your self-image where you begin to value yourself and begin to understand your childhood and purpose within the family. Perhaps you’re forced to adopt newer disciplines to maintain a better quality of your life. Whatever is changing, it’s good and loving and purposeful. You are always forgiven.

Each day, it seems there’s a change or emergency. Adaptation is needed. It’s important to know everyone is always in service. Articulate this so everyone understands. New skills will be developed as new opportunities come forth. Family resources need tending.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Jupiter in your house of creativity calls you to greater self-expression along with “being more of love than of everything,” all of which prepares everyone around you for the unexpected future. Mercury, your very own planet, retrogrades mid-August. You (everyone) will assume the qualities of Virgo, pondering upon things deeply, especially your communication. You must communicate creatively, with love and wisdom.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Do all of your environments need tending? Walk through the rooms of your home to see what care and upkeep they need. Be in touch with siblings, family and relatives, creating a deeper level of communication. If this week is your birthday, talk with your angels. They want to help you navigate the new times to come and direct you to the Raincloud of Knowable Things.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 If you listen quietly to your heart and mind and observe carefully your daily life and values, you will realize much has changed over the years. You are different now. You no longer maintain previous values. Your values will eventually expand into greater, more mature and responsible levels of harmony toward all. You lovingly serve always. Step more closely to the Path of Return.

EATS

Something in your life is being gathered into a bountiful harvest. Perhaps the result of great sorrows or death, perhaps it’s from a realization of all you’ve done and all there is yet to do. Perhaps it’s a gathering of gifts offered to those in need. A great compassion is opening your heart. You realize life isn’t a movie or film. It’s real and you play the leading role. And this life determines your next one. A benevolent meditative thought.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You may soon find yourself going to and fro between old and new. Between previous hopes, wishes and dreams, and new ones. The latter will appear slowly. Some already have. You will also consider what goals, ambitions and views of the world are shifting. You realize you need a new group to work with, new people, creating a new future that better defines your new self. Balance, work with, and tend to finances.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 In the public eye you are a rarity, a person of many gifts and talents. Sometimes you’re not quite fully understood. You bring both a special force and stability to all you do in the world. A new cycle, an expansion begins with your work and profession, and who you are in the world. There will be more responsibilities, praise, recognition, perhaps a promotion. Allow your intuition to come forth more and more.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 There are many possibilities for Aquarians in the coming months based upon their states of awareness. Influenced by a new cycle of learning, possible teaching, long and adventurous journeys, and for some, the building of the new era community. For all Aquarians, a wider view of reality emerges and this propels you into new areas of work and a different daily life. One you hoped for.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s good to begin to eliminate what is unnecessary in your life, especially what has not been used in the past many months. This will allow newer, finer energies and resources, infinite and abundant, more appropriate to the coming times, to be available. Be prepared for unexpected losses. But this has been occurring for a while now and you have become somewhat adaptable. Take Ignatia Amara (homeopath) for grief. Learn mudras.

You ponder upon home and family, partners and parents. You remember early childhood years and wonder if there was love enough for you to thrive. You consider what you are doing where you presently live and if you are to expand from there. You seek a more abundant foundation. You want to live, work and garden in a true community. You need a gate to walk through, a sense of leadership to lead with and rose bushes.

PREPARATION - Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate. - In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, & pepper. Close the lid, & shake to mix. - Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane & each rib, & snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark & spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use. - Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings & prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you’re using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, & leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all. - Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, & grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone & pile individually on a platter.

S HOPP ER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Travel expert Hobbies: Cooking, dancing, acrylic painting, the beach, bike riding, hiking, reading Astrological Sign: Sagittarius (“full-blown!”) Who or what first got you shopping here? First, I just want to say that I grew up here and have always enjoyed shopping at Shopper’s and reading the Spotlight articles. It’s been on my bucket list hoping I would be a Shopper Spotlight and be discovered! My mom first brought me here. She loves the wooden floors, the smell of Shopper’s, and for us, shopping here is the equivalent of rummaging through our own magic food pantry containing these amazing ingredients from around the world. My first memories here were of the towering abundance and the amazing colors of the fruit and vegetables. Now, it’s more about the alcohol. I’m joking! But they do carry an amazing array of diverse wines and spirits.

What do you like to cook? I love cooking in-season using Shopper’s produce for stir-frys, Mexican, and Italian foods. I might buy marinara sauce and build it up with veggies and something from the butcher shop. I normally make my own pasta from zucchini using a spiralizer. I also hand-roll Tuscan pasta; it’s really easy. If I’m trying a new Italian recipe, I know I can come here and find all the ingredients called for. For me, it’s all about the tried-and-true specialty products, like their many fresh dips and local salsas. I love that they carry my favorite hot sauce, ‘Jamaican-style pain is good!’ Shopper’s offers so many wonderful — and obscure — choices but you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Obscure? Yes! Every Thanksgiving my family does a different theme. This past theme was ‘New Orleans.’ Instead of cooking one giant turkey, we slow-cooked turkey necks. I called Shopper’s and they put aside five pounds of turkey necks for me. The great thing about Shopper’s is you can get the highest quality products without breaking the bank. I recently stopped by to get a gift of Mescal for a distiller. I knew the selection would all be high-quality but not too expensive. Shopper’s has been the cornerstone of our community for the longest time. It’s also a fun place to shop. Every one here is so helpful, personable, and genuinely friendly. You have natural interactions which makes for a real community.
