OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I occasionally get some teasing from friends when I tell them we have a Fashion Issue. “A Santa Cruz fashion issue? So it’s about worst fashion?” “Does it hurt your eyes?” “Can’t you just make it about tie-dye every year?” Oh yeah, I’ve heard it all. But look at the local fashion stories we’ve covered this week. First, FashionART continues to blur the line between clothing design and high art. Take a look at the pieces featured in these pages—some of

STATUESQUE

In your Aug. 30 issue, by asking “What should we do with historical statues that some people find offensive?” Matthew Cole Scott implicitly endorsed the Trump administration’s framing of the issue as overly sensitive people trying to erase history. In fact, the statues in question across the U.S. were not erected to commemorate history, but rather as symbols of white supremacy, intended to intimidate non-white community members. This is demonstrated by examining when the statues were built, which was not after the Civil War, but rather in the 1910s and 1920s when states were erecting Jim Crow laws, and in the 1950s and 1960s to oppose the Civil Rights movement. They aren’t much more historical than a swastika spray-painted on an overpass, and they mean about the same thing. A more accurate wording of the question would have been, “Should we remove statues built by segregationists to commemorate the Confederacy?” ALEX KANE | SANTA CRUZ

FAKE NEWS! I’d like to provide some balance regarding Gary Griggs’ fear-mongering interview in “Crisis Points” (GT, 8.23) by Maria Grusauskas. Her loaded questions were more like pro-climate change/global warming statements as she threw softball after slow-pitch softballs at him. (I’m sure he got the questions in advance.) I know of no credible scientific evidence

them are simply meant to push the boundaries of what is considered possible in fashion (which is interesting enough in itself), but some are much more practical, genuinely wearable great looks. And there’s also Georgia Johnson’s profile of Santa Cruz’s Vicki Noble, who I love for being unapologetically oldschool Santa Cruz while at the same time making a huge impact in the world of high fashion with the tarot designs that have been picked up by Dior for their 2018 line. So take that, people who say Santa Cruz has no fashion sense. Now, let’s see, do these Ugg boots go with my bike shorts? Oh, hell yes!

proving climate change is man-made, but is influenced mostly by changes in sunspot activity and volcanic activity, way beyond all of our control. The British “scientists” were busted red-handed in an email investigation fudging data to create the infamous hockey stick graph, disproving future temperature rises. Apparently, we are actually in a 17-year-cooling trend at this time according to a very comprehensive article recently published by a rival local publication. Greg begins at least two responses with “our best projections.” All computer models are designed by flawed humans with an agenda in mind and are therefore, only biased guesses, and are usually proven wrong. He clearly has his agenda working for him. He should be honest and place a margin of error on any crystal ball prediction as any serious scientist would do. I recall a Time magazine or similar publication not too long ago with the front cover falsely claiming “The upcoming Ice Age!” Why does he think they’re right now? There were some interesting facts in there, but everything falls apart when the future predictions are tossed up into the ether. T. LEGAN | CORRALITOS

Though we received some interesting and nuanced critiques of our cover story on climate change … this was not one of them. In running this letter, it only seems responsible to point out that the worldwide scientific consensus on manmade climate change is running at about 97 percent. — Editor

HEALTHY CHANGE

As the market for recycled materials declines globally, the Santa Cruz County government is asking people to cut back on their use of plastics. The county, which manages the Buena Vista Landfill and the Ben Lomond Transfer Station, asks residents to shop at farmers markets, skip the plastic bag when buying produce, bring containers from home, buy in bulk, avoid products with excess packaging and stop buying bottled water. For more information, go to santacruzcountyrecycles.org.

J. Guevara, Santa Cruz’s economic development manager, will be leaving local government for the healthcare world. Guevara has been chosen to be the development director for Santa Cruz Community Health Centers (SCCHC). Through its East Cliff Family Health Center and downtown Women’s Health Center, SCCHC has nearly 12,000 local patients. Guevara aims to increase SCCHC’s capacity to increase funding, develop new partnerships, attract supporters and raise awareness about critical health care issues.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 20 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Psychologists say most people need a scapegoat—a personification of wickedness and ignorance onto which they can project the unacknowledged darkness in their own hearts. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to neutralize that reflex and at least partially divest yourself of the need for scapegoats. How? The first thing to do is identify your own darkness with courageous clarity. Get to know it better. Converse with it. Negotiate with it. The more conscientiously you deal with that shadowy stuff within you, the less likely you’ll be to demonize other people.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 If the weather turns bad or your allies get sad or the news of the world grows even crazier, you will thrive. I’m not exaggerating or flattering you. It’s exactly when events threaten to demoralize you that you’ll have maximum power to redouble your fortitude and effectiveness. Developments that other people regard as daunting will trigger breakthroughs for you. Your allies’ confusion will mobilize you to manifest your unique visions of what it takes to live a good life.

GEMINI May21–June20 “If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried,” declared comedian Steven Wright. My Great Uncle Ned had a different perspective. “If at first you don’t succeed,” he told me, “redefine the meaning of success.” I’m not a fan of Wright’s advice, but Ned’s counsel has served me well. I recommend you try it out, Gemini. Here’s another bit of folk wisdom that might be helpful. Psychotherapist Dick Olney said that what a good therapist does is help her clients wake up from the delusion that they are the image they have of themselves.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 What is home? The poet Elizabeth Corn pondered that question. She then told her lover that home was “the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.” I offer this as inspiration, Cancerian, since now is a perfect time to dream up your own poetic testimonial about home. What experiences make you love yourself best? What situations bring out your most natural exuberance? What influences feel like gifts and blessings? Those are all clues to the beloved riddle “What is home?”

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

You’re most likely to thrive if you weave together a variety of styles and methods. The coming weeks will be a highly miscellaneous time, and you can’t afford to get stuck in any single persona or approach. As an example of how to proceed, I invite you to borrow from both the thoughtful wisdom of the ancient Greek poet Homer and the silly wisdom of the cartoon character Homer Simpson. First, the poet: “As we learn, we must daily unlearn something which it has cost us no small labor and anxiety to acquire.” Now here’s Homer Simpson: “Every time I learn something new, it pushes out something old.”

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Filmmakers often have test audiences evaluate their product before releasing it to the masses. If a lot of viewers express a particular critique, the filmmaker may make changes, even cutting out certain scenes or altering the ending. You might want to try a similar tack in the coming weeks, Virgo. Solicit feedback on the new projects and trends you’ve been working on—not just from anyone, of course, but rather from smart people who respect you. And be sure they’re not inclined to tell you only what you want to hear. Get yourself in the mood to treasure honesty and objectivity.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 The poet E. E. Cummings said, “To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest

battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” On the other hand, naturalist and writer Henry David Thoreau declared that “We are constantly invited to be who we are,” to become “something worthy and noble.” So which of these two views is correct? Is fate aligned against us, working hard to prevent us from knowing and showing our authentic self? Or is fate forever conspiring in our behalf, seducing us to master our fullest expression? I’m not sure if there’s a final, definitive answer, but I can tell you this, Libra: In the coming months, Thoreau’s view will be your predominant truth.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “When you do your best, you’re depending to a large extent on your unconscious, because you’re waiting for the thing you can’t think of.” So said Scorpio director Mike Nichols in describing his process of making films. Now I’m conveying this idea to you just in time for the beginning of a phase I call “Eruptions from Your Unconscious.” In the coming weeks, you will be ripe to receive and make good use of messages from the depths of your psyche. At any other time, these simmering bits of brilliance might remain below the threshold of your awareness, but for the foreseeable future they’ll be bursting through and making themselves available to be plucked.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Author Barbara Ehrenreich has done extensive research on the annals of partying. She says modern historians are astounded by the prodigious amount of time that medieval Europeans spent having fun together. “People feasted, drank, and danced for days on end,” she writes. Seventeenth-century Spaniards celebrated festivals five months of each year. In 16th-century France, peasants devoted an average of one day out of every four to “carnival revelry.” In accordance with current astrological omens, you Sagittarians are authorized to match those levels of conviviality in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Kittens made French Emperor Napoleon III lose his composure. He shook and screamed around them. Butterflies scare actress Nicole Kidman. My friend Allie is frightened by photos of Donald Trump. As for me, I have an unnatural fear of watching reality TV. What about you, Capricorn? Are you susceptible to any odd anxieties or nervous fantasies that provoke agitation? If so, the coming weeks will be a perfect time to overcome them. Why? Because you’ll be host to an unprecedented slow-motion outbreak of courage that you can use to free yourself from long-standing worries.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “The brain is wider than the sky,” wrote Emily Dickinson. “The brain is deeper than the sea.” I hope you cultivate a vivid awareness of those truths in the coming days, Aquarius. In order to accomplish the improbable tasks you have ahead of you, you’ve got to unleash your imagination, allowing it to bloom to its full power so it can encompass vast expanses and delve down into hidden abysses. Try this visualization exercise: Picture yourself bigger than the planet Earth, holding it tenderly in your hands.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I got an email from a fan of Piscean singer Rihanna. He complained that my horoscopes rarely mention celebrities. “People love astrological predictions about big stars,” he wrote. “So what’s your problem? Are you too ‘cultured’ to give us what we the people really want? Get off your high horse and ‘lower’ yourself to writing about our heroes. You could start with the lovely, talented, and very rich Rihanna.” I told Rihanna’s fan that my advice for mega-stars is sometimes different from what it is for average folks. For Piscean mega-stars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ellen Page, and Bryan Cranston, for example, the coming weeks will be a time to lay low, chill out, and recharge. But non-famous Pisceans will have prime opportunities to boost their reputation, expand their reach, and wield a stronger-than-usual influence in the domains they frequent.

OPINION

RISING SEAS Unfortunately, Richard Nolthenius (Letters, 8/13) is quite correct about Gary Griggs’ understatement of the pace and extent of sea level rise. Though Griggs is rightly concerned about the problem, he is not using the very latest estimates. But there’s a further disconnect that Nolthenius doesn’t mention. Climate scientists’ projections are created using computer models, which are highly sensitive to the input data. This is why the predictions have such a wide range of variation and high level of uncertainty. However, many paleontologists and

paleoclimatologists have been warning us of the severity of the problem. Why? Because their evidence shows that the last time Earth’s atmosphere had the same concentrations of CO2 that we see today, sea level was 100 feet higher! Well over a billion people live within a hundred feet of sea level. The devastation will be global and catastrophic. And unless we implement an effective carbon tax ASAP, things will get even worse. I certainly wish this was the hyperbolic hysteria that climate change deniers think it is, but sadly there’s far too much science to back it up. MORDECAI SHAPIRO | SANTA CRUZ

BANNER OF TRUTH As part of its Street Smarts campaign, the Santa Cruz Public Works Department has been hanging signs like this one, reminding people of safe driving habits.

Paving the Way

New city campaign aims to curb distracted driving and curb bad habits BY JACOB PIERCE

mber Gillespie, who doesn’t drive, envisions a Santa Cruz that’s a little easier and safer to navigate without a car. “I’m hoping to see more bikers and pedestrians, and more awareness of bikers and pedestrians—those who are most vulnerable on the roads,” says Gillespie, wistfully, at a Kaiser Permanente Arena event to raise awareness about road safety. Her daughter Isa sits on a Santa Cruz Police motorcycle, pretending to drive around the basketball court, as officers stand by smiling. It’s Wednesday, Sept. 13, the

official kickoff of the city’s new Street Smarts campaign, developed by the Santa Cruz Public Works Department, and the message seems to be resonating. “It’s just important for people to see that everyone’s safety is important to everyone in the community,” says 42-year-old Eric Stettmeier, as he grips his Return of the Jedi skateboard by its front truck. His daughter Darla is throwing and chasing down a balsa wood airplane prize that she won after correctly answering a road safety question at the Santa Cruz Police table nearby. The police booth is one of 14 at

the event promoting safer ways to get around—with groups like Ecology Action and Bike Santa Cruz County in attendance. A couple tables down from the cops, AT&T is providing demonstrations on virtual reality headsets that let participants see firsthand the alarming perils of distracted driving. And Stettmeier especially appreciates a thumb band that workers at the Street Smarts table are handing out to remind people not to text while driving. Everyone with a driver’s license already knows that driving safely is a smart idea. So hanging up banners and running >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017

Radio host Georgia “Peach” Beardslee—a self-proclaimed “racist”—went on a rant via the KSCO (1080 AM) airwaves last week, complaining about the ‘liberal globalist techies’ trying to control everyone’s lives. It was a spiel that began sounding rather routine—for her, anyway. It was part of a diatribe against GT for what she called a “hit piece” about her twice-weekly show (“Shock Waves,” 9/13). Beardslee also complained on her Sept. 13 broadcast that good news stories have a footnote citing every fact. Soon after that, co-host Sam Quinten chimed in, looking to add something to her point about techie liberals. “Bill Gates owns all the local newspapers,” Quinten remarked, ironically— although not unsurprisingly—without citing anything whatsoever, “the [Santa Cruz] Sentinel, the [Monterey] Herald, the San Jose Mercury News. And guess what else he owns: Good Times.” Well, allegations that the Microsoft cofounder suddenly owns GT were honestly news to us. In fact, as anyone who did even the most basic bit of research would learn, GT is locally owned by Nuz, Inc. We tried checking with Quinten, curious to hear where he got his information. Quinten didn’t get back to us, but we also called KSCO owner Michael Zwerling, who didn’t take kindly to the misinformation that his employee was spreading around. “That’s real horse shit. That kind of stuff is just not acceptable,” Zwerling said. “Maybe he was confused, but it doesn’t matter. Don’t shoot your mouth off about stuff you don’t know.” Zwerling, who was listening to the show at the time, says that even he believed the tidbit when he heard it—illustrating, he admits, how easily misinformation can spread. As Zwerling and I talked, he suddenly remembered chatting with GT co-owner Dan Pulcrano nine years ago. As for the Sentinel, Herald and Mercury, they are all owned by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that’s squeezing every last penny it can out of media >14

NEWS PAVING THE WAY <11 newspaper advertisements—as the city has been doing for the past few months—may sound like a halfbaked approach to changing driver habits, one that could not really make a difference compared to the kinds of construction projects that truly transform how we get around. But Janice Bisgaard, spokesperson for the department, notes Santa Cruz does already have infrastructure changes in the works to make way for safer traveling. The city’s first ever bike box went into the Seabright and Soquel Avenue intersection, and

the Branciforte Creek bicycle and pedestrian bridge is now open to the public, with plenty more projects on the way. “But education can do a lot more,” she says. The nascent Street Smarts effort—modeled after nationwide campaigns to get people to start recycling and wearing seatbelts— focuses on eight core issues. “They include things like unsafe speed, distracted driving and not following the rules of the road, like stop sign compliance,” Bisgaard says. Many drivers, she says, don’t know that it’s the law to stop for pedestrians, whenever they

stand waiting at two adjacent corners, even if there is no official crosswalk striped onto the asphalt. “You have to yield. Every corner is a legal crosswalk,” says Bisgaard, who came up with the Street Smarts concept. “And you can be ticketed or hurt someone.” Many young people, she notes, bury their faces into their phone screens while walking around town and don’t realize the importance of looking up before crossing the street—another core issue of the campaign. Street Smarts’ first year is funded by $36,000 in public works >16

NEWS BRIEFS I CAN SEA CLEARLY NOW Look out across Monterey Bay, and you may notice a dense fog, or, on a more clear day, the far reaches of a mountainous peninsula. You’ll likely spot a few waves crashing, or maybe even some hungry predators on the hunt for a fishy meal. What you definitely won’t see, though, are oil rigs. That total lack of heavy machinery dotting the horizon makes for an awfully calming design feature—one for which we owe thanks to environmentalists like Dan Haifley, who founded Save Our Shores in 1978 and advocated for the establishment of a marine sanctuary. When dedicated in 1992, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) was the largest marine sanctuary in the continental United States, at nearly 4,600 square nautical miles, stretching from Cambria to Marin County. As the sanctuary celebrates 25 years, Haifley has been looking back on his battle to protect the space, which he’ll discuss in a lecture through the

Democratic Women’s Club on Saturday, Sept. 23. “We were burning the midnight oil a lot, but it was gratifying and quite a bit of fun,” says Haifley, now the executive director for the O’Neill Sea Odyssey. “There were moments that were difficult, like when an ad opposing the sanctuary was posted in the New York Times, but overall it was a great way to spend seven years,” A 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill—to date, the third-largest spill ever in U.S. waters—was a call to action, as was a growing opposition to oil and gas exploration off the California coast. It helped too that thenCongressmember Leon Panetta, like Haifley, wanted to protect the Monterey Bay’s rich biodiversity. Haifley recalls promoting the largest possible boundary for the sanctuary, thinking that it would never be approved, in its entirety, due to pushback from then-President George H. W. Bush’s administration. But Bush approved the boundaries for the sanctuary, despite his background in offshore oil development. Haifley credits scientific research around the bay, along with a large pool

of grassroots organizers, for creating a swell of support. Haifley says that likely wouldn’t happen the same way today, especially now that President Donald Trump has ordered a review of any new sanctuaries or the expansion of existing sanctuaries established in the last 10 years. (The administration has set its sights on national monuments, too, mostly to accommodate mining and similar business interests.) In a different political climate, natural crude reserves between San Francisco and Davenport might have proved too tempting for the industry not to tap into, Haifley says. Protecting it all, he explains, “would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to do today.” “1992 was the year to do it—we got lucky in terms of timing,” he says. Haifley says that the new review process for marine sanctuaries could potentially lead to the loss of the Davidson Seamount—a 2009 addition to the MBNMS—although he believes that both research and the immense public support should prevent the federal government from making any

changes locally. Future proposals to create national marine sanctuaries will now likely have to wait a bit longer. Under the Obama administration, Surfrider Foundation and Sierra Club tried to lay groundwork to protect the San Luis Obispo County coast with a proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary. But after Trump’s inauguration, work has slowed. But Haifley believes a tide of support will carry projects like this sooner or later. “People are just being patient, they are waiting, and we had to wait for a couple of years, too,” Haifley says. “Just organize, gather your facts, check them twice, get people onto your side and present a solid case. If it doesn’t happen today, it may happen tomorrow, but persistence is very important.” The Democratic Women’s Club will host a 25th anniversary celebration of the MBNMS at 10 a.m. on Sept. 23 in the Santa Cruz Police Department Community Room, where Haifley will speak.

STOPPING

IS PART OF DRIVING. There’s a lot more to driving than just stepping on the gas. Like stopping, for instance. Without it, intersections would be chaos. Crashes would happen left and right. Pedestrians and bicyclists would be at great risk. That’s why stopping is such an important part of driving—it makes our streets safer for everyone. So when you encounter a stop sign, resist the “California stop.” Even if you don’t see anyone else around, be sure to brake completely. This gives you time to spy kids riding bikes on the sidewalk, or people hidden by foliage or parked cars who are about to step off the curb. And for safety’s sake, do not pass cars stopped at crosswalks. When you come to a stop sign, please fully stop and wait your turn. It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

SAY ANYTHING Michael Zwerling, who owns KSCO, says openly racist radio host Georgia “Peach” Beardslee would pretty much have to be inciting violence for him

to think about pulling her from the air.

conglomerate Digital First Media. Not local, but still not Bill Gates. “When other people take it at face value, that’s not good,” he says. “It makes us look not credible.” Of course, this was not the first controversial on-air moment for Quinten and Beardslee, who frequently whines about “white genocide” and that “white people are being replaced.” Michael Barkun, a political science professor emeritus for Syracuse University, says openly racist broadcasting is pretty rare for radio—though it’s more common on YouTube channels or other fringe outlets. “What’s unusual is not the content, but the medium,” says Barkun, who’s authored books on racism and also read GT’s previous story about Beardslee. “The ideas are pretty basic right-wing extremist material.” Last week, Beardslee, who could not be reached for comment, also invoked conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds,

a German family that anti-Semites believe controls the world’s political and banking frameworks, and she openly criticized Zwerling’s Zionist views. Zwerling, who himself is Jewish, admits that such comments often hurt his feelings. But he adds that he still wants his embattled, cash-strapped radio station to be a place where people can speak freely. “You’d better believe it hurts me to hear these things on the radio station that I own,” he says. “I don’t have kids or grandkids, so I pour my money into KSCO.” He admits that maybe in 1991 or 1992— shortly after he bought the station—he probably would have yanked a host off the air for good if they said things like the ones he hears now from Beardslee—who owns a construction business based in a Capitola home, according to online listings. He adds that if Beardslee were to “cross the line, in my mind,” which, he adds “is really a much harder line to cross for me, than for most people,” he would still fire her. For instance, if she were inciting violence, that would get his attention. But anything

beyond that, he fears, could spell trouble. “I think it’s very dangerous to step on the Constitution,” he says. But this begs the question: What does the Constitution have to do with what people say on the airwaves, really? Or with inflammatory hate speech, or whether or not someone’s bosses discipline them for things they say? Nothing at all, Zwerling admits. “I can’t hide behind the First Amendment. As some email said, ‘Don’t hide behind the Constitution or freedom of speech,’” he says. “I just wish to God that we had more of a variety of opinions. It hasn’t been the forum I wanted it to be.” Often on KSCO, Zwerling adds, the callin portion of any given show turns into “mostly a slobberfest.” But does Zwerling at least worry that maybe Beardslee could be inciting racism locally? Listeners, he has decided, are above that. “Give people some credit for having some intelligence,” Zwerling says. “But God, I think it’s really dangerous when people are protected. Let people be open to everything and let them make up their minds. I wish

more non-conservatives would call the station and take advantage of the station. It’s mostly wingnuts—I hate to say it—who take advantage of the radio show.” Thomas Pettigrew, a psychology emeritus professor at UCSC, has studied racism for decades. He says via email that overwhelming research shows “that such far-right episodes do tend to galvanize bigots,” and can even manifest themselves in incidents of violence in extreme instances—although he doesn’t “fear that a bombastic radio show will have a major overall opinion effect” here in Santa Cruz. Zwerling, who sometimes goes by his initials, “MZ,” has openly talked about bankrolling his station—something he does with money from a health supplement company he created 21 years ago. Part of him now wishes he hadn’t been so open about his personal support for KSCO because he fears, as a result, few people support it by purchasing ads—and his staff, he thinks, doesn’t feel a sense of fiscal urgency. “People know,” Zwerling says, “that Daddy Warbucks—MZ—will make up the difference.”

NEWS PAVING THE WAY <12 money, with an additional $12,500 in corporate sponsorships, Bisgaard says. In the future, she adds, city staffers hope to fully fund it through grants. The public works department is putting the campaign under the umbrella of a rebranding for the city’s transportation efforts that staffers are calling Go Santa Cruz. With a portal on the city’s website, Go Santa Cruz offers information for all commuters, whether or not they drive. Street Smarts is also targeting drivers, pedestrians and bikers— with the eventual hope of maybe even one day reaching those certain cyclists who bike the wrong way, against traffic, with both earphones in, no helmet and no regard for what’s happening around them. Go Santa Cruz also includes the city’s efforts to get the word out about new projects. The new bike and pedestrian bridge—the last remaining link in the San Lorenzo River Walkway—will have an official ribbon cutting on Thursday, Sept. 28. The approach may also include some teachable moments. In the coming months, middle school students will start meeting at after-school clubs, through Street Smarts, to plan school assemblies about road safety. They’ll perform them for elementary school students in early 2018. Public Works Director Mark Dettle says he’s optimistic that it will change habits of people on the roads. “It’s not your normal ‘pay attention.’ It’s got a little edge to it,” says Dettle, sporting a necktie that depicts school buses and children crossing the street. “We hope it works. We’re going to be looking at where it affects traffic collisions the most, and working with the Police Department, who will tell us whether or not incidents of distracted driving go down. Even if this prevents a few crashes, that’s a good thing.” There will be a ribbon cutting for the Branciforte Creek bicycle and pedestrian bridge at noon on Thursday, Sept. 28.

The state of the fashion runway gets altered once again by Santa Cruz’s psychedelic FashionART

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017

itnessing Santa Cruz’s annual fall FashionART runway show is as close to a psychedelic experience as you can get without ingesting potent, mood-changing chemicals or having to wait 12 hours for them to wear off. That’s not to say this visual feast of color and supernatural imagination won’t implant long-lasting images in one’s occipital lobe. Also, anything can happen. I realized this at my first-ever FashionART experience back in 2012—somewhere between the obscured flash of bare buns beneath black erosion-control cloth and aluminum tubing of producer Angelo Grova’s “Eurasia” and the emergence of the Great Morgani, amphibious in full-body snakeskin and teetering on foot-high “fantasy heels” at a time when only Lady Gaga had lived to tell the tale. Santa Cruz’s now 11-year-old merging of fashion and art can feel, at times, like plunging into an underwater dreamscape streaming jellyfish tentacles and glints of silver, and at others, a forward-thinking musing on what style and self-expression mean to Santa Cruz—materializing out of denim and lace rescued from a grandmother’s trunk, upcycled candy wrappers and skilled repurposings of the outlawed plastic bag. While the lasting imprint of 2016’s pairing of animal horns and Tim Burton-esque finger extensions (from Hill Tribe Fusion’s “Black and White Collection,” featured on this week’s cover) show no signs of fading away, the magical mystery tour that is FashionART 2017 prepares to take off on Saturday, Sept. 23. Eight designers and 12 artists hailing from Santa Cruz and the Bay Area—a mix of experienced veterans and newbies—will participate this year, says local designer Christina Morgan Cree. Cree, who has taken the reigns as executive director this year, has added a 2018 FashionART calendar, which features photos by Jana Marcus from various years throughout FashionART history—available online and at the show—as well as discounted tickets for students and seniors. A portion of ticket sales go to the nonprofit Santa Cruz Education Foundation. This year’s show, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Civic Auditorium, also promises stained glass, aliens, a sprinkling of steampunk, “geek couture,” models of all shapes and sizes, a trunk show, and the return of the Great Morgani, who just celebrated his 75th birthday. The rest is anyone’s guess.

Luck of the Draw Santa Cruz’s Vicki Noble gets noticed for the tarot designs she co-created in the ’80s, and suddenly finds herself in the highfashion world of Dior

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

May 11, 2017: Few things will coax celebrities into the Santa Monica Mountains on the eve of summer, but Dior is one of them. For some, Dior’s 2018 Resort show locale is an excuse to dust off their furs and Stetsons in lieu of silk jacquards and twill trousers—think Charlize Theron meets McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Among the hundreds of fashion denizens in attendance is Santa Cruz resident Vicki Noble, tottering around the Bedouin celebrity tent. She sits right by Rihanna, though neither of them know it.

SYMBOLIC GESTURE Dior’s Maria Gazia Chiui gifted Noble this leather jacket showcasing the Motherpeace tarot deck’s death card image. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

“Whoever that is,” Noble tells me later, with a shrug. “I wouldn’t know her if I saw her.” Similarly, Noble, with her cropped white hair and square-rimmed glasses, is pretty much indistinguishable from many people you’d pass on Pacific Avenue. At 70, she’s a professor, a psychic reader, a gardener, and most importantly to her, a feminist. She had been invited to Dior’s 2018 Resort show because the artwork on the clothes parading down the runway was from the Motherpeace Tarot deck, which she co-created with Karen Vogel nearly 40 years ago.

<24 Dior’s southwestern-inspired collection highlighted strong female figures, drawing inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe and images from the Motherpeace Tarot. Christian Dior was a tarot aficionado rumored to have had his cards read before his shows. Dior’s new artistic director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, is also a lover of the tarot. Chiuri is the first woman to run the Dior line in its 70-year history. An outspoken feminist herself, she is seeking to reinvent what the Dior name stands for, restoring Christian Dior’s original vision, according to Noble. Chiuri came across Noble’s work when she read her book, Shakti Woman, and stumbled on the Motherpeace Tarot deck. The Motherpeace Tarot deck was published in the early ’80s,

co-authored by Noble and Vogel. The two women created the deck to celebrate femininity and strong women of color, a break from the typical masculine focus of much of tarot arcana. With help from friends, they self-published the 78-card deck in Berkeley after mortgaging their home. “We were revising world history to include women,” Noble says. “Maria Grazia saw that, and she wants to revise world history to include women, too.” April 12, 2017: It’s the eve of Noble’s birthday, she has a plethora of activities planned—including getting tattoos—but when she checks her inbox she has an email from Paris, asking if the Motherpeace designs can be used in the Resort collection just three weeks later.

She’s really a ‘bridge person,’ and streaming radical feminist qualities into mainstream fashion is just a perfect role for her.” But Noble hasn’t always been a healer, or a feminist for that matter.

“I was there when she opened the email,” former student and longtime friend Teresa Diaz recalls. “She said, ‘oh, I am just going to delete this’ and I said, ‘oh, no you’re not. You open it right now.’” “I thought it might be a joke,” Noble says now. Though she almost deleted the email, she says she had been feeling like something was a bit off in the universe around that time, and that something was coming her way—but she wasn’t sure what. So she opened it. Noble lives in a little house off East Cliff Drive, within minutes of her three children. She prides herself on her two beehives and countless cherry tomatoes.

An invitation to Dior’s Sonni Scher Haute Couture fashion followed, and the 831.706.1107 company flew her to France. 720 Capitola Ave., Capitola astoundingresults.net gift certificates available “Normally it wouldn’t have been possible, it was too spontaneous, I don’t live my life that way,” she says, noting that at her age traveling is more difficult. “But I said yes, and off we went.” She still fully intends on keeping to her eccentric feminist roots, but she admits it’s nice to visit the “God realm” that is Dior’s world every now and then. “It’s such a fantastic story of creativity,” says Noble’s neighbor, Tracy Shaw. “That’s why everyone should be creating things—just keep creating, and you never know. Forty years later you might get picked up by Christian Dior.” Noble’s collaboration with Dior is far from over, she’s expecting to return to Paris in the fall to do some kind of event, as requested by Chiuri. Though the details aren’t 124 Church St. clear and dates aren’t set, she thinks it’ll be in November. Until then, she is back to reality, having rewarded herself with a new laptop—which she is still getting used to—and car, which she fittingly named Dior.

because she says that’s what you did at the time if you didn’t know what else to do. But she loved reading and writing, and came across Kate Millet’s Sexual Politics, where she found feminism while living in Colorado Springs. “It hit me like a lightning bolt,” Noble says. “It was a heresy for me to even have that book on my coffee table, being an Air Force wife.” She divorced and eventually moved to Berkeley, where the Motherpeace magic happened. Noble recalls buying her children a tarot card deck at the flea market, and drawing on the two blank cards—which got her thinking about starting her own deck, though she had little to no experience with tarot. “We tried to get the deck published with U.S. Games, but they wanted artistic control,” she says. “Of course we said no to that.” Though she has published eight books, Noble has always been on the wrong end of the publishing industry. She says many publishers want to change her, change what she stands for, and often don’t understand her methods and easygoing way of life. “The last publisher told me she wanted me but she was concerned about my platform,” she says. “I had to Google, ‘what’s a platform?’’’ She feels that this latest development with Dior is a way around the publishing industry, and that in a way, she has circumvented the establishment altogether. Even though her work isn’t very commercially successful, she says everything has always worked out, one way or another. “The universe has always taken care of me,” she says. And so it has. Motherpeace has since sold more than 300,000 copies, and sales have doubled since Dior licenced the deck and debuted the line. Come August, Paris Jackson would wear Dior’s Wheel of Fortune sheer dress to the MTV Video Music Awards. Beyond that, Noble won’t see what the entire collection will look like until it’s released in November.

Alles” that he did with his band the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy in 1991, announced this talent with a heavy dose of seething rage. Franti rewrote the lyrics to Jello Biafra’s anti-Jerry-Brown dystopian fantasy, turning it into a grittier, more realistic, but every bit as vicious takedown of

then-governor Pete Wilson: “I got a plan for the minorities/Send ’em to the California Youth Authorities/From San Francisco Urban Elementary/To Pelican Bay State Penitentiary.” But what Franti realized when he formed Spearhead in 1994 is that rage isn’t everything. There was a

time. And when I play in prisons, they don’t want to hear songs about prison. They want to hear songs about how much they miss their girlfriends. It’s one thing to do a song like ‘California Uber Alles,’ where all my activist friends get it and love it. But I play in Kansas City, and people there are like ‘What the fuck is he talking about?’” Perhaps that’s why his next musical anthem to masterfully distill a moment was delivered in the form of a mellow groove and a lyrical question. “Positive,” off Spearhead’s 1994 debut Home, brought a nation’s mostly unspoken fear of HIV to the airwaves: “How am I gonna live my life if I’m positive/Is it gonna be a negative?” Still, it wasn’t enough. The story of how Franti evolved as a musician from the Beatnigs—a mid-’80s spoken-word, punk-noise band with a small cult following in the Bay Area— to frontman for a festival-headlining hip-hop/funk-rock/reggae-soul jam band with a large and devoted fanbase is also the story of his personal evolution. The turning point came at an unlikely time—the day after 9/11—and in an unexpected form: Franti discovered yoga. “When I first started with the Beatnigs, I was just this angry punk rock kid who didn’t know how to play any instruments, so we just started beating on pieces of metal and shouting on top of them,” he says. “Yoga became a part of my life at a time when I was feeling broken down physically. I was feeling emotionally blocked, and that blockage was just making me feel like an angry, pissed off person all the time. And I didn’t want to be that. Yoga became a way for me to take care of my body and to meditate.” Not long after, Franti wrote what would go on to be his most famous protest song, “Bomb the World,” a Marvin Gaye-esque plea for an end to “military madness” that declared: “We can chase down our enemies/Bring them to their knees/We can bomb the world to pieces/But we can’t bomb it into peace.” The song was released on Spearhead’s 2003 album Everyone Deserves Music, and its chorus quickly spread around the world— seen on signs, T-shirts and CNN. Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising

that yoga had such a profound effect on Franti’s life and career, as he had been looking for years for a way to bridge that disconnect between musician and audience. “The ultimate goal of yoga is to connect—your ability to connect your heart to the world, and to God, and to nature, and to your fellow humans. That is the end goal of yoga. People can do all kinds of shapes and cool tricks, but the whole purpose of yoga was to open up your body so you could sit and meditate for long periods of time. And then through that meditation be able to find Ahimsa, which is nonviolence, and do Seva, which is giving back to your community,” says Franti. “All these things became part of my musical dialogue as well—how can I connect to people who don’t necessarily understand where I’m coming from? That’s why my music has evolved.” There can be no doubt that Franti is practicing what he preaches: on the day of every show, Franti leads a yoga session with fans who want to participate. “We have what we call a ‘meet-up,’” says Franti. “It’s kind of like a yoga tailgating party. People bring their Frisbees and their boomboxes, and then 100 people roll out their yoga mats. Then we share food afterward, and people hang out and talk. It’s just a great way for what we call our ‘soul rocker’ community to hook up.”

SOUND STAGE Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba, which plays Don Quixote’s on Wednesday, Sept. 27.

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Finding Her Voice

Luz Elena Mendoza speaks out in a whole new way on Y La Bamba’s latest record BY AARON CARNES

t’s not uncommon for a band to take a hiatus, and then return with a new album that incorporates new influences into the mix. That’s what Portland’s Y La Bamba did for Ojos Del Sol, which arrives four years after their last record. But this time, the most striking change is not the music, but singer Luz Elena Mendoza’s voice. Not only have the timbre and tone changed; it’s also the way she uses her voice that’s different. It’s blended into the music as though it were another instrument in the ensemble. When I ask Mendoza about her singing on this record, she responds with so much urgency, I think she’s been waiting for this question the entire interview.

“That right there is a representation of how I’m healing through trauma,” she says. We had talked already about how she’s spent time working through her childhood traumas, and the pain of being a person of color living in the United States, and the difficulty of being a creative woman in the music industry. Her voice, she says, has literally changed as a result of all this. “We as human beings have trapped trauma in our bodies. When you’re in trauma, when you live in fear, and you are scared, you don’t know how to exercise your voice,” she says. “You find a new way to express yourself.” The record, which is the third for the Portland group, is a confident,

powerful recording, a true mixture of styles and influences. There are elements of folk, indie, Latin music, and psych-pop, and the music has a meditative-like repetition to it. It spirals in circles and builds off of itself, flirting with pop in a subtly avant-garde manner. The title track, Mendoza says, was written first. The song came to her one night, along with a flood of tears, and took her two hours to finish. “It’s the reason why I recorded the record,” she says. “I thought of my mom, my dad, always trying to heal. Having a really strong Mexican-American background, and being Mexican-American, I feel like I carry those memories with me all the time.”

The song, which is in Spanish, is a meditation on her family, and the deep feelings she has for them. She asks for peace for her madre, padre y hermanos, and says no hay nadie como tú (“there is no one like you.”) It’s a touching, emotive ballad. There have always been songs in both English and Spanish on Y La Bamba’s records. But this is the first record that has a song (“Libre”) that goes back and forth between languages. It’s a genuine melding of Mendoza’s cultures and identities, something that’s been a theme of her music since day one. On the song, she brought in a choir of her female friends to sing backing vocals on the track. Not all of them spoke Spanish, but they learned enough to sing the song. “Women are very present on this record. This is so powerful for me,” Mendoza says. “Beyond cool. It’s something that’s beautiful, and really I would like more of that sharing instead of hostility.” The group of friends sang together in a chant-like style. The lyrics are abstract, as she’s describing a dream. It’s joyous, and feels profound without any clear indication of what it’s shedding light onto. Even though Y La Bamba took a hiatus for four years, Mendoza wasn’t exactly keeping a low profile. She was involved in several collaborations, which only helped broaden her senses and influence her style as an artist. Many of the people she collaborated with brought her closer to her heritage as a Latina-American. For instance, she worked with Los Dreamers, a group formed by Raul Pacheco of Ozomatli and Shawn King of DeVotchKa. “It’s a collaboration of multiple artists from first-generation backgrounds that talk about immigration and immigration rights, creating an awareness for immigration,” she says. “A lot of the projects I’ve had, I’m really open with really exploring and healing and diving into people of color, and not creating any separation—just having that different knowledge for how we can heal and come together as the Latin community, through music and art.” INFO: Y La Bamba performs on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9 in Felton. $10/door.

FRIDAY 9/22 ‘9 TO 5’ Based on the 1980 Dolly Parton film, this musical (with songs by Parton) tells the story of three women working with a sexist, rude and lecherous boss.

LOCAL BAND FROOTIE FLAVORS

Frootie Flavors formed back in 1995, just as queercore bands were becoming more visible in the Bay Area, and the Santa Cruz queer-pop duo felt an obvious kinship to the scene. However, when they’d go up to play in San Francisco, they felt a little out of place bringing their upbeat, dancey pop music to the stage.

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I always felt like we were the country bumpkins,” says drummer Vnes Dowling. “We’d go up there and a lot of bands were edgy punk or just experimental with lots of style. We’d be like, ‘we sing cuntry songs—songs from the cunt.’”

They always brought the party: saucy sing-alongs, and lyrics that might seem offensive on the surface, but were silly and empowering to the LGBTQ community. Dowling describes Frootie Flavors as an “activist dyke band” in the early years. They played queer marches and nearly every year of Santa Cruz Pride. In 1999, singer Stu Doogan transitioned to male, and later Dowling to non-binary. The bass player that joined the band in 2001 was also trans. Over the past nine years, however, they’ve had a new bass player, Valerie Atha, who identifies as a lesbian—“we’ve become a dyke-trans band again,” says Dowling. “Our main thing is always having a good time. Our main theme as a band has always been partying. All of our songs are very catchy; it’s a sing-along every time. We get a lot of audience participation going,” Dowling says. “We’re so Santa Cruz.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

VANDELLA

THURSDAY 9/21 NEW WAVE

STAN RIDGWAY Wall of Voodoo may be a one-hit wonder, but that hit was one of the weirdest songs to chart in the ’80s, 1982’s “Mexican Radio.” Stan Ridgway was the brains behind Wall of Voodoo, and he’s been playing solo since 1983. His voice is right up there with David Byrne’s in terms of New Wave strangeness, and there’s always an unrelenting tension in his music. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.

JAZZ

PHAROAH SANDERS DUO A pioneer of the ecstatic free jazz movement of the mid-1960s, tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders pointed a generation of musical seekers into the outer reaches. But he’s never been more influential than he is right now, judging by the crossover success of Kamasi Washington, who borrows liberally from the cosmic jazz recordings that Sanders and Alice Coltrane made in the wake of John Coltrane’s death

in 1967. For this duo performance, he’s joined by pianist William Henderson, an underappreciated master whose credits include stints with Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, and Elvin Jones. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 and 9 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $45/door. 427-2227.

INDIE

VANDELLA People throw around the phrase “’70s rock ’n’ roll,” but there were so many vibrant subsets of rock in that decade, it’s hard to pin down one definitive sound. In the case of San Francisco’s Vandella, imagine a mixture of the cool soft-rock sounds of Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summers at her disco-est, and a bit of Exile on Main Street-era Rolling Stones as they dig into some grimy blues rock. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 9/22 ROOTS

WILLIE WATSON Simply mentioning that Willie Watson

was a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show is probably enough to pack his upcoming gig at Don Quixote’s. But OCMS was just the launch pad for Watson, who is currently one of the darlings of the American roots music scene. A folk singer-songwriter who is firmly planted in traditional music, Watson does what the best folk singers have always done: make those traditional songs his own and pass them along to new audiences. With a style set that includes bluegrass, Southern gospel, Irish music and more, Watson keeps the troubadour tradition alive and well.

LATIN

On Friday, Sept. 22, two of the area’s hottest Latin bands join forces for a party that promises to be a cross-cultural celebration of all things rhythm and dance. Broken English is a high-energy outfit whose repertoire includes dance music from around the Caribbean and beyond. Flor de Caña is a Santa Cruz-based septet that blends Cuban son, Colombian cumbia and an otherworldly rhythm section, complete with bass, guitar, Cuban tres, button accordion, congas, bongo, timbales, maracas, guiro and bell to create a unique, lively, contemporary sound of its own. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

ROCK

MICHAEL CRENSHAW & LOS STRAITJACKETS It’s easy to see why Michael Crenshaw was once described as a “latter-day Buddy Holly.” For nearly four decades, his 1950s-style guitar and smooth crooning have been just as iconic as his signature glasses. So who better to team up with on tour than Los Straitjackets—the mighty, lucha-libre-masked quartet of 1960s instrumental surf music? Both acts are masters of their trade, delivering new and covered tunes with a unique dash of their own flavor that often has a lingering aftertaste of sweet nostalgia. MAT WEIR

Carolina-born singer-songwriter launched his career in the late ’70s, and his work spans just about every genre in the roots lexicon: bluegrass, country, honky tonk, gospel, folk, soul. His songs have been recorded by a bunch of chart-topping stars— George Strait has recorded more than a dozen of them.

JIM LAUDERDALE

All hail L7! This legendary Los Angeles band was a fixture of the grunge era, and influenced the riot grrrl scene. While their third album, Bricks Are Heavy, which spawned the alt hit “Pretend We’re Dead,” was voted by Rolling Stone as one of the essential ’90s albums, fans know any of their first four records should be recommended by any record store clerk worth his or her salt. L7 split in 2000, but in 2014 announced a reunion with all of the original members. MW

FILM

AT THE BOARDWALK Harris Dickinson plays the central role of Frankie, a teenager grappling with his

sexual identity and other issues, in ‘Beach Rats.’

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Lowlife Lessons

Static character spoils attempted character study in ‘Beach Rats’ BY LISA JENSEN

here’s truth in advertising in the indie movie Beach Rats. Writer-director Eliza Hittman’s drama follows the dubious exploits of a Brooklyn youth who hangs out with his lowlife buddies all day at the beach at Coney Island, while secretly exploring his attraction to men online at night. A darling of the festival circuit, the movie has won kudos for Hittman at places like Sundance and L.A.’s Outfest for her sensitivity to the issue of sexual identity. But as the movie itself unspools (at a very long-seeming 95 minutes), the delicate subject of sexuality

becomes increasingly hijacked by the portrait of young men as pack animals—much as the protagonist’s individuality gets hijacked into the herd mentality. This is largely Hittman’s point, of course—the anguish of establishing a selfhood that goes against the grain of the accepted “norm.” The problem is that Hittman never manages to convey her character’s anguish as he drifts through his dead-end life. In the central role of Frankie, Harris Dickinson has a certain visual presence, but the part of Frankie as written is the definition of “aimless”—reactive,

static, and ultimately uninteresting. Frankie and his three pals spend their days riding the subway and wandering around Coney Island. It’s summer, so there’s no school, and none of them are employed (they look about 18); on the boardwalk, they tentatively ogle girls and (much more skillfully) pick pockets so they can buy weed. Closer to home, Frankie has a more viable source of drugs, the painkillers prescribed for his father, who’s dying of cancer. At the boardwalk, Frankie is vamped by Simone (saucy Madeline Weinstein), whom he takes home to his den in his parents’

basement, determined to establish a relationship with her. It’s a dodge to conceal his secret life of posting selfies and talking to older men on a live chat website as he gradually works up the nerve to schedule real-life meet-ups with them. Searching for some kind of road map beyond the attempted guidance of his caring, but harried mom (Kate Hodge), Frankie asks if Simone has ever made out with another girl. Sure, she says, then tells him that girls making out is “hot,” but guys making out is “just gay.” Random moments like this seem to be leading somewhere. But Hittman squanders viewer interest in Frankie’s conflicted sexuality as we keep following him and his delinquent buds on their repetitive and boring rounds, tanking up at the smoke lounge, or stealing his mom’s jewelry to pawn for cash to buy more drugs. Meanwhile, he drifts through various sexual encounters largely unaffected by any discernible emotion. What ought to be a defining moment when he unexpectedly feels something for one of his dates is lost by Frankie’s inability to make a moral choice or stand up for himself. But by this time, it’s occurred to the viewer that confusion over his sexual identity is the least of Frankie’s problems. He ought to be more worried about wandering off into the woods at night with strangers. He ought to be concerned that he has no job, no visible skills, no prospects, and no ambition to ever change anything. A character study is one thing, but the protagonist ought to have a character worth studying. “Coming of age” suggests a transition from one stage to another, some evidence of growth or transformation. But as Frankie doggedly fails to take away anything of value from his experiences, we start to wonder why we should invest so much time and sympathy in him. And once we stop caring about him, the whole movie devolves into ennui. BEACH RATS ** (out of four) With Harris Dickinson, Madeline Weinstein, and Kate Hodge. Written and directed by Eliza Hittman. A Neon release. Rated R. 95 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BRAD’S STATUS Ben Stiller plays a middle-aged guy who’s somewhat angsty and dissatisfied, despite the fact that he has a successful career and comfortable life. In other words, Ben Stiller plays Ben Stiller? No, this guy’s name is Brad! Anyway, reconnecting with the college buddies he envies (as he shows his musical-prodigy son around Boston, where he went to school) gives him a different perspective on whether things turned out so bad after all. (R) 101 minutes. (SP)

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

FRIEND REQUEST Don’t confuse this with Unfriended, the other horror movie about a teenager who gets rejected by her peers and starts killing them in ghost form via social media. Why do we need horror movies about social media anyway? Isn’t Donald Trump’s Twitter account scary enough? Alycia Debnam-Carey and William Moseley star. Simon Verhoeven (grandson of Paul) directs. (R) 92 minutes. (SP)

KINGSMEN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE The first Kingsmen film, a breath of spy-movie fresh air from director Matthew Vaughn, was nearly perfect. But let’s face it, adding Jeff Bridges makes anything better. In this sequel, he and Channing Tatum play operatives from the American cousin of the titular British secretagent group, who team up with Taron Egerton’s Eggsy (and a notso-dead Colin Firth) to save the world. Julianne Moore, Halle Berry and Mark Strong co-star. Vaughn directs. (R) 141 minutes. (SP) THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE Six young ninjas are entrusted with defending the island of Ninjago. Sounds great, except that one of them is the son of the supervillain who is its main threat. Awkward! Also, can we talk about how this is the third Lego movie in a row that is basically about daddy issues? Somebody in the Lego Corporation writer’s room needs to get a freakin’ therapist already. Featuring the voices of Jackie Chan, Dave

Franco and Fred Armisen. Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher and Bob Logan direct. (PG) 101 minutes. (SP) POLINA A young ballet student in Russia (Anastasia Shevtsova) is about to achieve her dream of performing in the Bolshoi Ballet when new people in her life convince her to try for something riskier, but possibly even more rewarding. Juliette Binoche costars. Valerie Muller and Angelin Preljocaj direct. (Not Rated) 108 minutes. (SP) REBEL IN THE RYE Portrait of J.D. Salinger as a young man. He struggles as a writer in New York, fights in World War II, and finds sudden success with Catcher in the Rye that leads him to flee the public eye. Nicholas Hoult stars as Salinger. Kevin Spacey and Sarah Paulson co-star. Danny Strong directs. (PG-13) 106 minutes. (SP) STRONGER Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the dramatization of the true story of Jeff Bauman, who lost both his legs in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and his hard-fought recovery. MIranda Richardson and Clancy Brown costar. David Gordon Green directs. (R) 116 minutes. (SP) SPECIAL SCREENINGS “Royal Shakespeare Company: Titus Andronicus” is a new staging of Shakespeare’s bloodiest play. 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 ANNABELLE: CREATION We get it, the Annabelle doll is creepy. But, seriously, how much more can they milk from the Conjuring franchise? What’s that? A lot? Well, OK then! Have at this prequel about who the hell would ever make a doll that looks like that. David F. Sandberg directs. Anthony LaPaglia and

Stephanie Sigman star. (R) 109 minutes. 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. BEACH RATS Reviewed this issue. Eliza Hittman directs. Harris Dickinson stars. (R) 95 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. DOLORES A long-overdue look at a pioneering activist, this new documentary is an homage to United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta, who at the ripe age of 87 seems just as vivacious as she was at 25. Though Dolores is celebratory of her life, it doesn’t put her on a pedestal. It’s a story of hope and a look at injustices still happening today, framed by some really fantastic music. Not rated. 95 minutes. (Georgia Johnson)

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 HITMAN’S BODYGUARD Pop quiz! Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson star in this actioncomedy as the best bodyguard in the world and the world’s most notorious hitman. Will these mortal enemies a) learn to work together to achieve a common goal; b) learn to overcome their differences to achieve a common goal; or c) turn into Nick Fury and Deadpool, and then learn to overcome their differences to achieve a common goal? Patrick Hughes directs. (R) 118 minutes. HOME AGAIN Comedy-romance features Reese Witherspoon as a single mom whose life is turned upside down when three younger guys come to live with her. No, no, no it’s not a genderbent Brady Bunch. Written and directed by Hallie-Myers Shyer. Nat Wolff and Lake Bell costar. (PG-13) 97 minutes. IT The new adaptation of what is arguably Stephen King’s defining horror masterpiece is finally here. Which is a good thing, because if I see one more headline that says “If You Really Want to Have Nightmares, Watch This New Trailer From It” or “This New Clip From It is Sure to Give You Nightmares,” I’m gonna lose it. No, I don’t really want nightmares, thanks! And none of the clips actually did give me any, so just shut the hell up with the hype and bring on the damn clown already! Andy Muschietti directs. Bill Skarsgard, Jeremy Ray Taylor and Jaeden Lieberher star. (R) 135 minutes. LEAP! This animated musical adventure film is about an 11-year-

old orphan who dreams of being a ballerina, and, against all odds, gets a chance to audition for the Paris Opera Ballet. It features the voice of Carly Rae Jepsen as a mysterious caretaker who helps her. Hey, you just read about this movie, and this is crazy. But your kid will like it, so see it maybe? Eric Summer and Eric Warren direct. Also featuring the voices of Elle Fanning, Kate McKinnon and Mel Brooks. (PG) 89 minutes. LOGAN LUCKY If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “You know what this heist movie needs? NASCAR!,” then this new Steven Soderbergh film is for you. Coming out of a self-imposed “retirement” that lasted four years—which actually is kind of a lifetime for him, since he used to put out like seven movies a year—his latest action-comedy has a fair amount of critical buzz, not to mention Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig. Soderbergh directs. (PG-13) 119 minutes. MOTHER! After that weird and pret-ty, pret-ty lame Noah movie, director Darren Aronofsky bounces back with a return to what he does best: freaking people the hell out. Seriously, have you seen the trailer for this movie? I can’t even tell what it’s about, but it looks crazy AF, and should fit in nicely with the director’s disturbo repertoire. Aronofsky directs. Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem and Ed Harris star. (R) 121 minutes. THE TRIP TO SPAIN If you’ve never tagged along on the culinary adventures of comic actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, eating and joking their way through England and Italy in the first two The Trip movies, it may take a few scenes to get in the groove with this third installment, The Trip to Spain. But if you’ve already acquired a taste for the deadpan improv style and freewheeling mimicry of these guys on the road, make sure your passport is in order, and get ready to laugh. With Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Directed by Michael Winterbottom. Not rated. 108 minutes. (Lisa Jensen)

HOLY MOLE

You probably already knew this, but according to the judges at last weekend’s Mole and Mariachi Festival, our region’s top mole sauce is from Margaritaville, with Mickey’s Cafe and Catering the runner-up. Congratulations to all—a great mole is a thing of zesty joy. So make plans to sample mole at Margaritaville— along with something in the key of tequila—in the near future.

great idea in growing food vocabularies. The creative team at Chef Brad Briske’s Soquel dining room, Home, have cooked up something ambitious—a Bilingual Gardening and Cooking Class for Kids that unfolds during four Monday afternoons starting Oct. 2. “We have noticed a need for more Spanish speaking environments,” the Home team announced, with an eye toward young ones learning Spanish as a second language as well as interesting after-school

environments for native Spanish speakers. The innovative program involves outdoor gardening as well as interactive Latin American cooking with native Spanish speaker and chef Diego Felix. Targeting 5-9-yearolds, the four-week session runs every Monday, from 3-5 p.m. $85 for complete session. If you’ve got inquiring young ones, this sounds like something special. To reserve your place, email info@homesoquel. com, or call Linda at 334-2134.

Meanwhile, armed with a popular working hypothesis, the entrepreneurs of Parish Public House (holding down the lively corner of the Almar Avenue complex on

That would be the surprisingly drinkable 2012 Pinot Noir from Primarius in Oregon. At a light 12 percent alcohol, this Pinot manages to deliver good fruit and a pleasant bouquet of berries and plums. Available along with lots of other affordable wines on the bargain rack at Shopper’s Corner. Thank you Andre and company!

PASTRY OF THE WEEK

Gayle’s reels me in. Can’t help it. While my buddy Lisa succumbs to the strawberry shortcake scone, I opt for the full-figured cheese Danish with a dollop of blueberry jam in the center. The tender pastry is not too sweet, and the creamy cheese center is the sort of creation that makes a calorie proud to be a calorie. $4-ish. Get coffee, sit down, and take some quality time with that danish. Bliss.

PINOT PARADISE ALERT!

anta Cruz County’s craft beer industry is a supportive community, whether they’re collaborating on a beer or sharing knowledge and equipment. Now, local breweries are rallying to support beloved brewer David Purgason while he recovers from a terrible accident. Purgason began brewing professionally at local breweries after he graduated from UCSC in 2012. After building a fan base for their homebrews, he and his partner were looking forward to opening their own brewery, Fruition, when in early July Purgason suffered horrible burns while brewing wort at Venus Spirits. The incident devastated him physically, and has left him on a long road to recovery. “Everyone at every brewery emailed me asking what they could do to help David and [his partner] Tallula,” says Brittany Crass of Shanty Shack Brewing, a close friend. Spearheaded by Crass, local breweries decided to create their own takes on a “Brew For David” Session IPA, Purgason’s favorite beer style. Nine local breweries and Venus Spirits also collaborated

on the “Brewers Unite for David” Session IPA. All of the proceeds from these beers, each bearing a quirky David-esque name or inside joke, will be donated to the Valley Medical Center fund set up for him. In addition to being available at the breweries, several fundraising events will showcase these one-off brews. On Wednesday, Sept. 20, Lúpulo Craft Beer House will host the Brew For David Tap Takeover, with tasting flights of all-David beers. On Thursday, September 21, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing is pouring the collaboration beer, along with a special release form SCMB for the Raise A Glass for David event. Venus Spirits is hosting Cocktailbeerfest, with cocktails, beer, food and music on Saturday, Sept. 30. Beer Thirty is also pouring David beers. Purgason is humbled by the huge outpouring of love from the community. “The incredible support of the brewing community has been amazing, and has truly showed that we are a family, sharing this passion that brings people together. I feel so fortunate to be alive and to be a part of it.”

Muccigrosso An elegant, racy Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2010 BY JOSIE COWDEN

ou may not have tasted Michael Muccigrosso’s Pinot Noir, as Muccigrosso Vineyards does not have a tasting room and his wines are not sold all over. But the 2010 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot ($35) is exceptional, so it’s worth calling to find out where they will be pouring next. One such opportunity to taste it will be at Gourmet Grazing on the Green on Oct. 7 in Aptos Village Park. (Visit sccbg.org for info.) “Noble, yet racy. Subtle, yet direct. Sublime, elegant and worthy,” Muccigrosso says of his fine Pinot. “Imagination is the only limitation, but you’ll recognize the telltale black cherry and vanilla notes that dignify Santa Cruz Mountain Pinot Noir,” he adds. It’s not easy to snag Muccigrosso’s well-made Pinots. His winery is a small operation and his website isn’t always up-to-date. But you can contact Michael’s nephew Travis MuccigrossoWhite, who is very involved in the winery, at 408-761-5030. Facebook is another way to get ahold of the winery, and wine can be delivered by the case.

Nourishing Generations’ mission is to provide hands-on nutrition, cooking and fitness activities to at-risk children and families, thereby spreading the word about healthy cooking and eating, and the benefits of exercise. An upcoming fundraiser will take place at the MAH, and the event not only promises to be fun and informative, but will also garner much-needed funds for the program. Local chefs, brewers and winemakers will be participating, including Roberto Mendoza, executive chef at Cin-Cin in Los Gatos. Businesses pitch in, such as Live Earth Farm in Watsonville with their weekly donated farm box of fresh vegetables and fruit, connecting children with an awareness for how good fresh produce can taste. The event, which includes a silent auction, is from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8. Tickets are $40 ($45 at the door). Music is by Eric Morrison and the Mysteries.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES A WEEK OF FESTIVALS AND HOLIDAYS

So many festivals this week. Wednesday (East Coast) is Virgo new moon just after midnight. In the evening, at sunset, Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) begins. Thursday is the U.N. World Peace Day and, in the evening, as the new moon is sighted at sunset, Islamic New Year begins. Friday, as the Sun enters Libra (1:02 p.m., West Coast), Archangel Michael, the great protector with sword in hand, assumes protection for the Earth. At that moment, Autumn begins. It’s equinox. Day and night, light and dark are in balance. We, too, seek balance and begin preparing for Winter Solstice. We are in the “dark half of the year” now. On Friday, in the United States, transiting (in the sky) Uranus squares the U.S. natal Pluto. We’ll see what happens. Uranus/Pluto signify unexpected and transformative events unfolding. Let’s see what happens. Much has been said in Christian circles about Saturday, Sept. 23, concerning Revelation 12—“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (pregnant, about to give birth) is clothed with

the sun, moon under her feet, a crown of 12 stars on her head. Then another sign appears: a red dragon with seven crowned heads, 10 horns. Its tail sweeping a third of the stars from the sky, flinging them to the earth.” We’ll watch for that, too. While waiting, watching and wondering, let’s be festive. Gathering with family, eating pomegranates (Garden of Eden “apples”), honey with apples, honey cake, apple raisin challah and chicken baked in honey, wishing everyone a sweet and happy new year. (Rosh Hashanah). Dancing Peace dances during World Peace Day. Its theme: “Together for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All.” From 9-9:30 a.m., the Secretary General begins Peace Day celebrations by ringing the Peace Bell in the U.N. Peace Garden. Inscribed on the bell in Japanese characters, “Long live absolute world peace.” Peace on Earth, Goodwill to everyone on this day. internationaldayofpeace.org.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Do you feel divided between four ways, standing in the middle wondering which paths to pursue next? There are several past issues that need tending and closure before you will know how to proceed. They are being presented to you now, so observe, assess, ponder, pray and have the intention to carefully and kindly complete all things unfinished. Then the next page turns.

Something profound, transformative and new has been occurring at home affecting the foundations of your life. Through autumn you’ll know more. Good things are coming about in your professional life. Is family visiting, changing or are you missing kinfolk? Are you thinking about religions or spirituality? Tend with care and kindness to all relationships. Your group sustains, nourishes and fortifies you. But someone’s left out.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Maintain the trajectory into the future even though pressures and people pull you back. The new realities must be brought forth and each sign has the responsibility for a facet of that diamond. Taurus has the illumination needed for others to understand the plans and purposes of the new era. You have land to buy, a model to construct, a community to build, a garden to plant, expansions to bring forth so that many will be saved.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 You experience confusion when you don’t stand directly in the center of all realities. You must do this to observe both sides in order to create a triangle of synthesis, with you standing at the apex. There are two paths outlined for you. Knowledge creates thought which creates symbols which reveal revelations so that Right Choice can occur. Ponder upon these words. Draw and visualize the seven-pointed, six-pointed and fivepointed stars, a triangle and the Cross. Again.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 It may feel that you need to structure your surroundings so that nothing is left to chance. Also, you want to nurture and build an even, growing participation in a social sphere. Groups need you and you need the group for sustenance. You wonder what to do with your money as you are offered two choices. One grows, one dims. How do you decide which to choose? Which is more sustainable? Think precious metals.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It’s time for something new in terms of relationships. It is also time to travel somewhere you’ve been before to assess it with new eyes. Do be aware of how much work you’ve done, how hard and where you are today. In the next 18 months, your usual ways of thinking and interpreting will change. Your creativity will change, too. Some of this is already occurring. Is it topsy-turvy at home with life tumbling about?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

A fusion and synthesis are occurring between what you were taught and what you now know and seek. Money is a concern. Know that it will always be available. With others be kind, never critical. Listen deeply. Respond with compassion, never impatience. The homeopath aconite neutralizes impatience (an excess of electrical energy). At times you feel like a rainstorm.

You asked for a playful column. I see why. Pluto and Juno in your first house of self-identity. Everything about your life is deep and profound and you need someone else to make the jokes, freeing you from the Plutonian depths. Let’s not talk about money. You have enough. You don’t have enough. You have enough. In between is a childhood wound. You desire to transform all environments. There is a prayer that turns your abode into a shrine.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

It’s possible that thoughts and feelings from previous relationships are being remembered. It’s possible there could be anger about the experiences in childhood which influences your behavior in adult relationships. It’s good to ask what you learned in each relationship. And to ask, “Did I give enough?” There’s still time. Everyone is learning from everyone else, all the time. Your self-identity changes.

There’s a new reality in your life as the old realities tumble after. Perhaps you grew up with too little or more than enough money. Either reality offered you a certain lens concerning money. And here we are today, the monetary world collapsing. Don’t be fearful. From the ashes emerge great opportunities. Ponder upon priorities considering the world situation. What must (can) you do now? You’ll come to true answers.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Tend to finances; ask for assistance if puzzled, embrace the future by investing in supplies to sustain you and others for two years. Plan on others joining you. When self-critical beliefs occur, heartache results. It’s important to know the difference between good and evil, dispassion and intrusion. It’s best to always use words of praise, which neutralizes mental and emotional illusions and distortions.

Things feel very complex. In your state of solitude all expectations are surfacing, informing you that they must be forgotten. Disappointments, sadnesses and unrealized hopes, leading to despair, can actually make us ill. It’s important to be aware of this. Then see a holistic doctor who does astrology with homeopathy. Deep, deeper to deepest layers will be uncovered. In safety. The new psychology.

Occupation: Reading coach Hobbies: Photography, scooting my kids around town, cooking, co-ed softball Astrological Sign: Aquarius

WES BARE, 35-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Teacher, Shoreline Middle School Hobbies: Coaching soccer, gardening, collecting/spinning records, barbecuing Astrological Sign: Gemini What do you folks like to cook? DIANA: “A good variety of foods such as falafels, fish tacos, some meats, and anything that is healthy. My daughter is the baker. She recently made s’mores and Dutch babies.” WES: “I love to barbecue. We do a lot of chicken, seafood, and a variety of sausages. I like that the butchers know what they are doing. They’re professionals. They care about what they do as it’s not a side job for them. They’re helpful and always have a big smile.” DIANA: “Shopper’s has really good produce. We buy lots of fruit. They have great variety, including organics, but it’s not overwhelming.” WES: “And there’s always people to assist you.”

Is shopping local important to you folks? WES: “Yes. I try to support local businesses. People stop here daily for fresh food, much like they do in Europe.” DIANA: “Shopper’s is comfortable, and shopping here is a neighborhood thing. It’s convenient: I can quickly run in and out.” WES: Shopper’s is community. Longevity. It’s on the corner and a store that people are familiar with. Our kids, Bijou and Hudson, have always enjoyed coming here.” DIANA: “We’ve been friends with someone who’s worked at Shopper’s 20 years. I think that reflects good management as they must value their employees.” WES: “Shopper’s being locally-owned is one of their selling points.”

What would you say about Shopper’s to someone who’s new to the community? DIANA: “Shopper’s is friendly and has quality food and is not expensive: I know as I’ve done comparison shopping.” WES: “I say, ‘Welcome to Santa Cruz. Let’s throw a party and stop at Shopper’s before we do it!’” DIANA: “Shopper’s has a big selection of wines, and many of them are local. Recently, I bought a specialty bourbon here for my brother. He lives in Oakland and could not find it anywhere!” WES: “Our kids swim, play soccer and baseball, and dance. We want them to do well in school. Shopper’s quality foods play a key ingredient in their active lives.’”

“To someone new to the area, I say, ‘Welcome to Santa Cruz. Let’s throw a party and stop at Shopper’s Corner before we do it!’”
