OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE For the last couple of years, we’ve been tracking the increased risk of fire danger facing Santa Cruz County. Our award-winning 2016 story about why wildfires are getting worse has, unfortunately, proven to be prescient. Since then, we’ve seen fires in Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa that have in many ways defied even the most dire warnings about California wildfires, and we’ve written, too, about what lessons we might learn from those. The news about wildfires only seems to get worse, and tracking this beat, I’ve gotten used to a rather bleak outlook from the firefighters and other experts whose job is to help all of us manage fire risk. Still, I find this week’s cover story by Malcolm Terence particularly unsettling.

DATA MINING

The Draft EIR for the proposed (so-called) Student Housing West (GT, “Fielding Inquiry,” 3/28) is in, and logic is out the window. An EIR is supposed to base its conclusions and recommendations on the data. We want to live in an evidence-based culture, right? Well, someone forgot to tell whoever wrote the conclusions of the EIR that they need to follow all the data, not just the one single part of it that seems to support what the developer wants. Of the 24 environmental factors studied, only one favors the proposal over their Alternative #3. Eleven favor the alternative. That alternative, however, fails to destroy the meadow that we all see when we look up at the campus, that we all pass as we go up there. Wouldn’t it be a pity, they think, if the meadow is allowed to remain untouched, like the Long Range Development Plan requires?

First, because it clearly explains how easily the Bear Fire in the San Lorenzo uplands could have been far more devastating, and how canyons around the county could be hit by the same confluence of factors. And second, because it lays out how the intersection of weather and flames in the Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa fires have Cal Fire experts imagining the kind of wildfire that can sweep from the mountains into the city of Santa Cruz. I’d certainly never imagined such a possibility, but in the new reality of California wildfires it’s gone from a worst-case scenario firehouse joke to something state and local officials genuinely have to think about. The good news that the story delivers is there are things that can be done to reduce the fire risk in our neighborhoods, and I hope it inspires action, because one thing that’s abundantly clear is that there’s no time to waste.

KILLING IT On hearing that Mountain Community Theater would present Julius Caesar as part of their 36th season, I couldn’t help but scratch my head (OK, perhaps scoff just a little). My hometown, Ben Lomond, was going to present one of the most difficult tragedies ever written? I was excited, but also hesitant, wondering how a local community theater was going to pull off one of the most challenging tragedies. Learning that Bill Peters, a renowned professor at San Francisco State known for his Shakespearean genius was going to be directing, my interest grew. I had studied theater arts at SF State, and though Bill had been my academic advisor, I had never had the privilege of working >8

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 11 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Aries statesman Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. He wrote one of history’s most famous documents, the Declaration of Independence. He was an architect, violinist, inventor, and linguist who spoke numerous languages, as well as a philosopher who was knowledgeable about mathematics, surveying, and horticulture. But his most laudable success came in 1789, when he procured the French recipe for macaroni and cheese while living in France, and thereafter introduced the dish into American cuisine. JUST KIDDING! I’m making this little joke in the hope that it will encourage you to keep people focused on your most important qualities, and not get distracted by less essential parts of you.

Your allies are always important, but in the coming weeks they will be even more so. I suspect they will be your salvation, your deliverance, and your treasure. So why not treat them like angels or celebrities or celebrity angels? Buy them ice cream and concert tickets and fun surprises. Tell them secrets about their beauty that no one has ever expressed before. Listen to them in ways that will awaken their dormant potentials. I bet that what you receive in return will inspire you to be a better ally to yourself.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 In the early 1990s, Australian electrical engineer John O’Sullivan toiled on a research project with a team of radio astronomers. Their goal was to find exploding mini black holes in the distant voids of outer space. The quest failed. But in the process of doing their experiments, they developed technology that became a key component now used in Wi-Fi. Your digital devices work so well in part because his frustrating misadventure led to a happy accident. According to my reading of your astrological omens, Taurus, we may soon be able to make a comparable conclusion about events in your life.

GEMINI May21–June20 In the fictional world created by DC Comics, the superhero Superman has a secret identity as a modest journalist named Clark Kent. Or is it the other way around? Does the modest journalist Clark Kent have a secret identity as the superhero Superman? Only a few people realize the two of them are the same. I suspect there is an equally small number of allies who know who you really are beneath your “disguises,” Gemini. But upcoming astrological omens suggest that could change. Are you ready to reveal more about your true selves? Would you consider expanding the circle that is allowed to see and appreciate your full range and depth?

APRIL 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

In the coming weeks, I suspect you will be able to find what you need in places that are seemingly devoid of what you need. You can locate the possible in the midst of what’s apparently impossible. I further surmise that you will summon a rebellious resourcefulness akin to that of Scorpio writer Albert Camus, who said, “In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. No matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger—something better, pushing right back.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In 1936, Herbert C. Brown graduated from the University of Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in science. His girlfriend Sarah Baylen rewarded him with the gift of a two-dollar book about the elements boron and silicon. Both he and she were quite poor; she couldn’t afford a more expensive gift. Brown didn’t read the book for a while, but once he did, he decided to make its subject the core of his own research project. Many years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discoveries about the role of boron in organic chemistry. And it all began with that two-dollar book. I bring this story to your attention, Sagittarius, because I foresee you, too, stumbling upon a modest beginning that eventually yields breakthrough results.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Playwright Tennessee Williams once spent an evening trying to coax a depressed friend out of his depression. It inspired him to write a poem that began like this: “I want to infect you with the tremendous excitement of living, because I believe that you have the strength to bear it.” Now I address you with the same message, Cancerian. Judging from the astrological omens, I’m convinced you currently have more strength than ever before to bear the tremendous excitement of living. I hope this news will encourage you to potentize your ability to welcome and embrace the interesting puzzles that will come your way in the weeks ahead.

In 20 B.C., Rome’s most famous poet was Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known to us today as Horace. He prided himself on his meticulous craftsmanship, and advised other writers to be equally scrupulous. Once you compose a poem, he declared, you should put it aside for nine years before deciding whether to publish it. That’s the best way to get proper perspective on its worth. Personally, I think that’s too demanding, although I appreciate the power that can come from marshalling so much conscientiousness. And that brings me to a meditation on your current state, Capricorn. From what I can tell, you may be at risk of being too risk-averse; you could be on the verge of waiting too long and being too cautious. Please consider naming a not-too-distant release date.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

Are you finished dealing with spacious places and vast vistas and expansive longings? I hope not. I hope you will continue to explore big, bold, blooming schemes and wild, free, booming dreams until at least April 25. In my astrological opinion, you have a sacred duty to keep outstripping your previous efforts. You have a mandate to go further, deeper, and braver as you break out of shrunken expectations and push beyond comfortable limitations. The unknown is still more inviting and fertile than you can imagine.

Luckily, you have an inventive mind and an aptitude for experimentation. These will be key assets as you dream up creative ways to do the hard work ahead of you. Your labors may not come naturally, but I bet you’ll be surprised at how engaging they’ll become and how useful the rewards will be. Here’s a tip on how to ensure you will cultivate the best possible attitude: Assume that you now have the power to change stale patterns that have previously been resistant to change.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Between Dec. 5 and 9, 1952, London was beset with heavy fog blended with thick smog. Visibility was low. Traffic slowed and events were postponed. In a few places, people couldn’t see their own feet. According to some reports, blind people, who had a facility for moving around without the aid of sight, assisted pedestrians in making their way through the streets. I suspect that a metaphorically comparable phenomenon may soon arise in your sphere, Virgo. Qualities that might customarily be regarded as liabilities could at least temporarily become assets.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 May I suggest that you get a lesson in holy gluttony from a Taurus? Or perhaps pick up some pointers in enlightened self-interest from a Scorpio? New potential resources are available, but you haven’t reeled them in with sufficient alacrity. Why? Why oh why oh why?! Maybe you should ask yourself whether you’re asking enough. Maybe you should give yourself permission to beam with majestic self-confidence. Picture this: Your posture is regal, your voice is authoritative, your sovereignty is radiant. You have identified precisely what it is you need and want, and you have formulated a pragmatic plan to get it.

with him on a production. As luck would have it, I was moving back to the area; I knew I simply had to be a part of this production. I ended up landing a spot as Lucia, initially Lucias, servant to Brutus, and since then the process has been nothing short of thrilling. All in all I can say the cast and crew of Julius Caesar are killing it (at some points quite literally). I am so proud of my community and what we can and do achieve, for though we be but little we are fierce. Thank you Bill Peters for having

the vision and confidence in Mountain Community Theater to pursue this artistic endeavor, and thank you to our stage manager Susann Suprenant who had the resolve to get us through it. The experience and the education this production has brought me is one I’ll keep in my pocket for a long time. And although I was initially hesitant, I was wrong to underestimate the determination of artists and what we can achieve. The moral of the story? “Foul is most foul, being foul to be a scoffer. Fare thee well.” JOCELYN MCMAHON | BEN LOMOND

WELLNESS

HYDRATION STATION While ice water is common in the Western world, it’s believed to have adverse effects on health in Eastern cultures.

Ice, Ice, Maybe Is chilled water really a more healthy choice? BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE begs the question: from a health perspective, which is best? Is one type or temperature of water better or worse than the others? There is evidence that different temperatures can confer both health benefits and drawbacks. Especially during exercise, scientific evidence suggests that cool water may be best. A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine found that 16 degree Celsius water (that’s cool tap water of about 61 degrees Fahrenheit) led to less sweating and higher water consumption in the exercising and dehydrated subjects, leading the authors to conclude that this temperature was best at mitigating dehydration. While drinking ice water may

help with weight loss, because the body uses energy (in the form of calories) to heat this water up to the homeostatic 98.6° F, the effect is quite small. Estimates, including one by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Washington, state that the body will burn about eight more calories heating up a glass of ice water relative to a glass of roomtemperature water. Multiplied over, say eight-10 glasses a day, this adds up to about 70 calories a day, or the equivalent of one egg. Eastern medicine has long advised against cold water, as it may actually have adverse effects on wellness. Although common in America, ice water isn’t consumed nearly as much in other parts of the world.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | APRIL 11-17, 2018

‘G

ood evening and welcome folks, I will be your waiter tonight,” I say to my guests as I greet them and pass out menus. “Can I get everyone started with some water?” “Sure, I’m fine with regular ice water,” says the first patron to speak up. “Water is fine for me, too, but can I please have no ice?” another guest asks. “I’d actually like a hot water with lemon,” another guest chimes in. “And I’d like sparkling water,” requests the final person at the table. It seems personal preferences for drinking water are just as strong as they are for the type of liquor, cocktails, or wine that people like, or how one’s steak is cooked. Which

Both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners recommend drinking warm to hot water on a regular basis. This is based on the belief that warm water helps with digestion, and improves blood flow and circulation, whereas cold water constricts the muscles and blood vessels in and around the stomach, leading to sluggish digestion and other potential health problems. Cold water may also solidify fats in the stomach, further impeding proper digestion. Beyond the temperature of water, another bubbling trend right now is sparkling water; industry data shows a major increase in U.S. consumption over the past decade. According to statista.com, a leading provider of consumer and market data, U.S. sparkling water sales were more than $3 billion in 2015, and are projected to double to more than $6 billion by 2021. This has been spurred largely by Americans’ desire for the pop of a carbonated beverage without the added sugar and calories in soda. But what are the pluses and minuses of sparkling water from a wellness perspective? Well, if sparkling water is replacing a sugaradded beverage like soda in the diet, that’s like hitting the equivalent of a health home run right off the bat. Beyond that, sparkling water may provide multiple health benefits. A randomized double-blind 2002 study in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology found that carbonated water was more likely to ease both constipation and indigestion than tap water. But the jury is still out on whether carbonated water increases or decreases feelings of satiety (fullness). The above-mentioned 2002 study found that carbonated water increased appetite, and other research suggests that carbonated water may raise levels of the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin. On the contrary, a 2012 study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology found that carbonated water increased feelings of satiety in subjects. Perhaps more research is needed to truly determine an answer to the seemingly simple question: which type and temperature of drinking water is healthiest for our systems?

NEWS GENETIC RIFT Genomics isn’t offering the bright new world we’d hoped for says UCSC’s Jenny Reardon, a former researcher, in her new book

APRIL 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

When Jenny Reardon was 11 years old, her father, a former Jesuit priest, told her, “Jenny, genetics is the future.” Encouraged by her intellectually curious dad, she dove head first into the sciences, winning a prize from the General Motors International Science and Engineering Fair at age 14. Reardon double-majored in molecular biology and politics at the University of Kansas, and she fell into genomic research, as many molecular biologists did in the 1990s, before going on to get her doctorate. Now a sociology professor at UCSC, Reardon has authored her second book, The Postgenomic Condition: Ethics, Justice and Knowledge After the Genome. Reardon was among the scholars who responded to a controversial New York Times opinion piece that had suggested it was time to start a serious discussion about genetic differences among races—lest the whole conversation get co-opted by bigots. “Arguing that no substantial differences among human populations are possible,” wrote genetics professor David Reich, “will only invite the racist misuse of genetics that we wish to avoid.” An open letter from Reardon and 66 others argued that Reich dangerously misrepresented the science of genomics. I talked to Reardon, who’s currently in Germany, about ethical issues around genetic studies and the field’s complicated relationship with race—stemming partly from a history of white supremacy and eugenics. Reardon says that many people of color have been understandably hesitant to participate in research. “When scientists have been interested in studying African Americans, it’s usually not because they’re interested in improving their health,” she explains. “It’s usually because they’re a helpful research tool.”

What was your experience as a genomics researcher? JENNY REARDON: I researched DNA when it was still pouring hot liquid between two plates of glass. It was not a very high-tech operation. It’s helped people to take my work >16

Tough Pill to Swallow As the U.S. reels from drug addiction, locals work to reduce health impacts BY MAT WEIR

n a county that was once almost as well-known for drugs as it was for anything else, statistics show that many drug-related deaths have decreased in recent years. That means Santa Cruz County is bucking a larger trend—in much of the nation, things are moving in a more troubling direction. There were 63,600 drug-related deaths in the U.S. in 2016, the most recent year with data available. Around 66 percent of those Americans—some 42,000 people— died from opioid use, making it the worst year on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Those deaths were a major part of

the fact that 2016 was the second consecutive year that Americans’ life expectancy fell, and the first time since the early 1960s that the United States had seen life expectancy drop for two years in a row. As health officials continue to see the opioid crisis take its toll, the Trump Administration held a summit last month to discuss how to combat it. Meanwhile, a new local coalition has joined a larger effort to create a safety net and hopefully save lives. Opioids include a variety of substances, like heroin, prescription painkillers, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, a new drug on the market which can be 50 times

stronger than heroin. Fentanyl is often used by dealers to cut street opioids, in order to make as much profit from their product as possible. However, dealers are now also using it to cut other drugs, including stimulants like cocaine, law enforcement officials say. Connecticut has seen a 420 percent increase in fentanyl-laced cocaine over the last three years. At this point, however, fentanyl seems to be more of a problem on the East Coast. Dr. Stephany Fiore, the sheriff forensic pathologist, says that while Santa Cruz County does see fentanyl overdoses, “it’s very minor compared to everything else.” >14

In defiance of national trends, Fiore says, the county has actually seen a decrease in both overall drug deaths and opioid-related ones. In 2017, there were 32 accidental drugrelated deaths, down from 56 in 2014. But the county’s overdose rate is still more than three times the state average. Nineteen of last year’s drug deaths were stimulant-related, which is the highest number in the last five years—as far back as the county’s data goes. The Midwest and East Coast have been hit harder by fentanyl imported from China, the number one producer of the drug, Fiore explains. “We’ve always had a difference in drug use on the different coasts,” she says. Black tar heroin has always been found primarily on the West Coast, Fiore adds, whereas “China white” has been more popular in the Eastern U.S. Still, she says there were nine cases of fentanyl deaths in the county in 2015, spread between various forms of fake prescription pills—like streetmade versions of Xanax—along with cocaine and heroin. Fentanyl testing is one of the services a new partnership called the Harm Reduction Coalition of Santa Cruz County will be supporting, along with syringe access, drug treatment methods, mental health counseling, and housing assistance. Harm reduction also includes ensuring access to naloxone, a substance that prevents fatal overdoses. Grey skies and the threat of rain didn’t stop a group of roughly 30 people from gathering outside the Santa Cruz County Courthouse steps on Thursday, April 5 to announce the newly formed coalition. “Harm Reduction understands a particular behavior will occur, regardless, and we take steps to minimize impact on individuals and the community,” said Denise Elerick, one of the coalition’s founders. Teaming up with similar harmreduction chapters throughout the state and around the world, the local partnership wants to “promote evidence-based approaches” to supporting those suffering from substance disorders. Elerick hopes

it will be an inclusive group, offering a space for anyone concerned about opioid issues—both legal and illicit— and their impact on the community. The larger Harm Reduction Coalition, founded in 1993, is now an international organization. Last month, Elerick and other locals met with representatives from Oakland who showed them the steps to launching the Santa Cruz chapter. Elerick, a dental hygienist, says that harm reduction is not a new concept, and that the group is “not trying to reinvent the wheel.” City and county health officials attended the announcement, which was held during National Public Health Week, as did state Assemblymember Mark Stone and County Supervisor John Leopold. “Too often we try to solve a complex problem with a simple solution,” Stone told audiences. “A Harm Reduction Coalition and a multi-jurisdictional approach is the right way to educate the community.” Some elements of harm reduction best practices have seen their share of opposition. A few years ago, needle exchange practices came under fire from public safety activists, largely out of a concern that they create an environment where syringes end up strewn about. Many called for either abolishing the practice or the creation of a strict one-for-one exchange, where intravenous drug users get only as many needles as they give back, instead of the “needs-based” model that’s in place in counties like San Francisco and Los Angeles. But studies have shown that neither model results in more hazardous waste or drug use than the other. “In fact, the California Department of Public Health is no longer issuing permits for programs that are not needs-based,” Elerick says. “They do not advocate or support one-for-one exchange.” Elerick remembers Austin, Indiana making headlines in 2015, while under the leadership of thenGov. Mike Pence, who opposed needle exchanges. With a population of 5,000—just slightly larger than Felton—an HIV outbreak among intravenous drug users left more

than 200 people infected with the disease, and 95 percent of the infected also tested positive for Hepatitis C. After a long struggle with Pence, public health experts and state legislatures were able to convince him to lift the state’s ban on the program. The data supports the trend too. A recent study by the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) found that the number of people who shared syringes has dropped 52 percent since the exchange was implemented. The study also found proper disposal of used syringes went from 18 percent to 82 percent. But the debate over drug-use services isn’t over. Last year, many residents were shocked to learn that Santa Cruz County had been placed on a list of eight counties marked for possible “safe injection sites.” These are supervised facilities where users can have access to a clean facility to inject with clean materials, minimizing the spread of disease and personal damage. It’s a practice found throughout Europe and one that was instrumental in drastically reducing heroin use and harm in Portugal, once a capital in Europe’s drug consumption. Authored by Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman of Fresno and Senator Scott Weiner from San Francisco, AB 186 stated that the program was completely voluntary, not mandatory, but it, too, ignited local concern over public safety, prompting the county’s removal from the bill. Assemblymember Stone—who voted for the bill, which failed to pass the senate—is hopeful it will be revised and reintroduced. “The messaging from the backlash was very one-way,” he tells GT. He believes Santa Cruz should take another look at safe injection sites, possibly once more data has been collected. “I think having a broader conversation about the complexities of the issue is what the Harm Reduction Coalition is all about. Looking at real solutions.” The Harm Reduction Coalition of Santa Cruz County’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 19 in the Capitola City Hall community room and is open to the public.

NEWS on the genetic level? Should we even want to know? We have to remember that human beings created the concept of race, and human beings will always be deciding what it means and how it will be used. Genomics isn’t going to solve any of those things. It could aggravate or make them worse, because the problem is that people will too easily put genomics on a pedestal and say, “Oh, the science tells us this,” and forget that human beings made genomics. Human beings made the categories that human beings use.

seriously. I knew the language of genetics.

What are you doing in Germany? I’m here with a group that’s formed in Freiburg to address questions of human genetic variation research, and there’ve been some new developments in Germany. Ever since World War II, it’s been a taboo against using DNA to try to identify the population an unknown person comes from. If there’s a criminal investigation into a cold case in the U.S., police would want to look at the DNA and say what race or population the person who committed the crime came from. In Germany, this has been illegal since 1997, but now they’re talking about reversing it. There’s this group here made up of population geneticists, sociologists, and historians who’re addressing this issue. There was a death of a medical student here in Freiburg, and it launched the whole push to try to overturn the law because it was a cold case. They didn’t have any clues, and they

wanted to be able to say, “Oh, this person was from Turkey,” or “This person was from Syria.” There are a lot of concerns about it, because it seems like it’s part of the backlash against immigrants.

Is testing for a suspect’s race a bad thing? One of the first issues we took on at the Science and Justice Research Center, which I direct, came from a couple of grad students in a forensic anthropology laboratory. They came to me and said, “Hey, we’ve got a problem. Our job is to take these missing bodies the state of California brings us—say for instance, people who cross the border, and they didn’t make it. But they don’t know who these people are. They’re missing people.” And they said to me that the state of California requires we assign a race to these bodies, but the database that was developed to do this work was developed in the American South, and the bodies they used were of people who have a different background. It’s

different parts of the world. They were saying, “When we do this, and we assign a race, we’re actually throwing ourselves off the trail because the database doesn’t represent the people that we see here.” So that gives you some sense of the problems of it. You can only say something about the ancestral background of someone if you’ve sampled those people. The use of racial categories in genetics poses lots of serious issues. Historically, it’s not gone well when we’ve used race to define people genetically.

After researchers sequenced the human genome, President Clinton touted the project for showing how much all people have in common. Will genomics do more to heal racial divisions or make them worse? We’ve yet to see the answer. If it’s not going to make things worse, it’s going to require very careful thought about how genetics is interpreted. Is it possible there are racial differences

What can a company do with someone’s DNA data? One of my chapters is about 23andme. 23andme—if you read the fine print, which I did just do recently—they ask you to spit in a tube, and ostensibly they’re selling you information about you. But really what they want to do—and what their business plan has always been—is use your data to create the largest DNA database in the world that will be of interest to pharmaceutical companies. That has always been its business plan—but it’s not, of course, what they lead with. There are various levels of 23andme. You can just spit in a tube and they’ll send you your information. They then ask you if you will participate in 23andwe. And most people say ‘yes’ to this. They frame it as “Hey, you can help other people.” And most people want to help and do research. At that point 23andme can use your DNA for research purposes, although keeping people anonymous these days is technically difficult in genetics. They tell you that they won’t release your data to the FBI or CIA, unless requested. It is legally possible that, once you’ve spit in the tube, that the FBI or CIA can end up with that data should they decide that this was an issue of national security or something like that. 23andme is quickly becoming the largest DNA repository in the world, and the federal government would like to be able to identify every resident in the United States genetically. The other thing people don’t understand is that once you spit in that tube and they send you back the information, they do things like tell you whether or not you’re at risk for breast cancer. You are then responsible for telling your insurance company, “Yes, I’m at risk for breast cancer,” or you’re committing fraud. The importance of that in the United States is we have a law that says you can’t discriminate against people based on the genetic >18

UCSC researchers led the push to sequence the human genome as quickly as possible. If they had moved too slowly, the private firm Celera would have tried to patent the entire thing. How would this conversation be different if that had happened? We know a little bit about this because of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 [genes], which are the breast cancer genes. In that case, a company did patent it and did beat out the public effort. It was these two researchers from Utah who ended up creating a company, and that lead to Myriad Genetics. And Myriad Genetics cornered the market on BRCA1 and 2 testing until 2013, when the Supreme Court said gene patents are unconstitutional. To get your BRCA1 and 2 data you had to pay Myriad $3,000. BRCA1 and 2 is one of the few examples right now where the genetic information is, you could argue, very medically relevant. It has medical value, and for many, many years, women had to pay a high price to get access to that. Now the whole market’s been opened by the overturning of the gene patents. All of these new companies have come into this space. 23andme is in this space. And you see all this competition. I don’t think it ever would have happened, that anyone would have let Celera patent the Human Genome. We probably would have seen the Supreme Court case come a lot earlier. It’s in nobody’s interest to have genomic data under patent. Who was against Celera being under patent? The pharmaceutical companies. They did not want genomic data to be locked up under a patent because they weren’t going to make any money off genomic data. They were gonna make money off the things developed from genomic data. Anything else I should be scared of in the future? I hate that framing! We shouldn’t be afraid of genetics. We should be informed about genetics—not put it up on a pedestal. The whole reason I wrote this book was to make the field of genomics more accessible to people so they could join in the conversation and not treat it like it’s some high priesthood, that you have to have some fancy degree or that you need to be some kind of really smart scientist in order to understand it and to participate.

FAST FLAMES The wind-driven fire in Santa Rosa found fuel not just in

trees but in buildings and vehicles, with embers from torched houses flying as far as a half mile in front of the advancing fire. PHOTO: STETT HOLBROOK

WINDS OF CHANGE The new patterns of recent wildfires in Santa Rosa and elsewhere show why Santa Cruz is at risk all the way from the mountains to its urban center BY MALCOLM TERENCE

the spread of a major wildfire was proven wrong once again, he says, when the most recent fires in Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa crossed roads and even a six-lane freeway. A six-lane freeway, by the way, is all that separates Pennell’s home from the endangered Prospect Heights—a gap he knows could be easily closed by a fire pushed by strong winds. “Convection and radiation usually makes fire go uphill,” says Pennell, “but the other factor would be adiabatic, where the winds come downhill. They are warm and dry, and they cause more extreme fire behavior.” Prospect Heights isn’t the only neighborhood considered to be at great risk. The bottom line is that Santa Cruz firemen have long worried about the windy-day fire that would start in the forested hills and sweep down toward the urban flats—exactly what happened in Santa Rosa and Santa Barbara—and they say it’s more critical than ever that residents prepare for that possibility.

WIND FACTOR The Bear Fire started in the steep San Lorenzo uplands on Oct. 18, 10 days after the start of the Santa Rosa fires. By then, the north winds had died down, so crews were able to contain it in 10 days. Rich Sampson, a Cal Fire division chief

based in Felton, says that if the Bear Fire had started at the same time as Santa Rosa’s wildfires, the winds would have blown flames down to Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond, a particularly dangerous situation because so much of Cal Fire’s crew had already been sent up to Santa Rosa. Sampson says similar risks exist for canyons with a north-south alignment above Aptos, Corralitos and Watsonville, where a fire could begin in the drier elevations above the inversion layer and pick up speed when it gets fanned by an offshore wind. Normally, at higher altitude, the temperature decreases due to the changes in air pressure. But in an inversion, instead of getting cooler, it is actually warmer at higher elevation. The flames would rush downhill, an example of the adiabatic fire behavior Pennell described. The flushes of heavy rain in March and April have barely moved this season’s precipitation needle to 65 percent of normal, and the more generous rain last winter may have made things even more flammable, Sampson says. This was because the heavy rain last year was not enough to wet the bigger fuels after many years of drought and, besides, it stimulated the growth of lots of fine fuels— weeds and grass—which also dry out quickly.

ven 25 years ago, Santa Cruz fire officials were worried about the the Prospect Heights neighborhood that adjoins the overgrown eucalyptus stands in DeLaveaga Park. In a newspaper article at the time, then-Fire Chief Ron Prince expressed concern that brush, downed trees and fallen limbs were four feet deep in some areas. In the parlance of veteran firefighters, these accumulations of downed vegetation are called “fuel,” and they help a small ground fire crown into the treetops when the worst conditions align. A walk through the forest there today reveals it is still just as fuel-rich. One of those veteran firefighters is Cap Pennell, who worked for 34 seasons with Cal Fire, mostly around Santa Cruz, and who retired from the state firefighting agency 15 years ago. He recalls the gallows humor in the fire stations about the fire that might start in Boulder Creek and get pushed by strong offshore winds down the San Lorenzo canyon, all the way to the Boardwalk. The counter-argument to that particularly bleak outlook on the state of fire safety, Pennell recalls, was that there was a crossroad every quarter-mile which would stop such a blaze. The idea that this imaginary hedge would stop

<21 As evidence, he cites 20-30 acres of intentional prescribed burning that Cal Fire had just completed to reduce hazardous fuel buildups near UCSC. The timing for the burn—in the middle of the winter—would never have been possible before the drought. Jake Hess, a Cal Fire deputy chief based in Felton, says firefighters routinely sample fuels for moisture in their work, and are finding that, although heavy rainfall in 2017 had refilled reservoirs, a lot of the live fuels were clearly weakened, but not killed, and had not bounced back to their typical moisture level after one good year. Hess says he’s seen every fire season outpace the previous year’s fires, and Cal Fire has moved more funding to each unit for increased protective fuels reduction. In the Santa Cruz area, this will mean two full engine crews doing this pre-fire work, six days a week. Hess agrees that winds can be a dominant factor in fire behavior and said the 2008 Summit Fire between Santa Cruz and Los Gatos had winds so strong—80 miles per hour—that firefighting aircraft had to be grounded. Hess was headed to the Santa Rosa Fire when he got orders to turn around and head home to the Bear Fire. He says strong wind is such a big factor in fire behavior that his agency increases crew strength whenever it is forecast. As fuel moistures have continued to drop from lack of rain and lack of snowpack every year, the fire season for Cal Fire Southern Region is all year now. Big fires late in the year in 2005 seemed an anomaly at first, but Hess says that lately they’ve added “a new mental component that our employees are having to deal with: burnout. I don’t see it changing; all the science says this is the new normal, and will increase.”

A NEW KIND OF FIRE

Tim Chavez, a Cal Fire field battalion chief from the Riverside area, was on the Thomas Fire near Santa Barbara for 16 days, and he remembers the offshore winds.

“They came for 13 days straight. Usually they get them for three days, then the fog comes in and the fire stops spreading,” he says. It would be hard to overstate the catastrophe of the wind-driven fires in the Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa areas. The Tubbs Fire in Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties had burned 36,807 acres by its containment on Oct. 31, 2017, and caused 22 deaths by fire. It burned 5,643 structures including 2,800 homes in the city of Santa Rosa, 5 percent of the city’s housing stock, with an estimated $1.2 billion of damage. It was the most destructive wildfire in California history. The Thomas Fire in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties started Dec. 4, 2017, and burned 281,893 acres, becoming the largest wildfire in modern California history. It destroyed 1,063 structures and was linked to the deaths of one firefighter and one civilian before it was contained on Jan. 12 of this year. Another 20 people subsequently died when rainstorms triggered mud and debris flows in the burn area. One Northern California insurance broker says insurance companies are looking closely at brush and slope in issuing new fire policies and reassessing existing ones. He says the companies were “getting off a lot of their risks, even policies that they’ve held for 20 or 30 years. Fire with a wind, you aren’t going to stop it. We’re seeing policies that cost $1,000 a year coming back for $1,800, two grand.” Many instructional materials for fire protection are designed for homes built in forested areas—what firefighters call the Wildland/Urban Interface, or WUI. These materials suggest clearing or seriously reducing vegetation and other fuels accumulations around a residence within a 100-foot perimeter. In most of the less-wildland neighborhoods of Santa Cruz County, this would amount to removing the next two houses on every side of your house. Chief Hess observes that the wind-driven fire in Santa Rosa found fuel not just in trees but in buildings and vehicles, with embers from

<22 torched houses flying as far as a half mile in front of the advancing fire. In conditions like those, ordinary Opportunity firefighting becomes impossible, and the main strategy becomes evacuation. Jim Frawley, the chief of the Santa Cruz Fire Department, told a recent community meeting at DeLaveaga School that residents need to make themselves, their homes and their community better prepared for the catastrophic possibilities. As part of his department’s firereadiness campaign, representatives are going out into neighborhoods to form a Firewise Community, starting with the people who live near DeLaveaga Park. Materials aiding people and neighborhoods to prepare are available at https://goo. gl/oQ5k55. Frawley says that at any given moment, his department has 17 firefighters on duty—enough for one house on fire. So, in the case of a wind-driven fire, it’s the preparation that comes beforehand—investment in non-combustible roofs, clearing rain gutters of debris so they are less flammable, and other actions aimed at fireproofing. Much of that information is available at the Ready, Set, Go program. (See https://goo.gl/Tphe6w.) The “Go” step is evacuation. More than 100,000 residents were evacuated during the Thomas Fire. Frawley says that in a worst-case fire starting in the Eucalyptus groves, Branciforte Avenue and Morrissey Boulevard would be converted to one-way evacuation routes headed toward the ocean. The fire districts in the county have cooperative agreements with Cal Fire to respond jointly to fires too big for any one department. Frawley says that the city government has also budgeted $100,000 per year to help reduce fuel buildups in overgrown areas like Delaveaga Park. His department is working with the city parks department to prioritize the work and to enlist other groups for resources that can help prepare for the next fire. The county Fire-Safe Council has funds to bring in a chipper to

chew up unwanted brush after it’s removed, and Cal Fire can supply convict crews to help handle the accumulations of fallen trees, branches and brush. Frawley was a firefighter in Southern California before he came to Santa Cruz three years ago, and he says that dryness and wind conditions are not as bad in Santa Cruz as in Santa Rosa or Santa Barbara, but adds, “To say ‘never’ is wrong. So we need to be aware of it, to plan for it and to bring in the community.” As a step in that direction he moderated the well-attended meeting in November at Delaveaga School. The neighborhood had already had an early warning when a fire broke out near DeLaveaga Golf Course in early July. Ed Silveira from Friends of DeLaveaga Park, welcomed the fuels treatment in the park to reduce fire danger, but also questioned the amount of money being appropriated for the job. “It’s interesting that the City Council came up with close to $300,000 to remodel the city golf course restaurant, but the fire chief only gets $100,000 for public safety in this area.” Bill Maxfield, another homeowner near the park, said, “Besides the terrible fires in Sonoma, Napa, Ventura and Santa Barbara, we’ve had a couple of scares in DeLaveaga Park, including one in 2017 that required helicopter drops [of water and fire retardant] and a small fire within the last couple of weeks that happening during a rainstorm—both are thought to be human-caused. I’m really thankful that city leaders are paying attention to this issue. The question is, what can the city do to help, and how can neighbors participate in a solution that cuts the fuel load and helps us prepare our homes and families in the case of a major fire in the park? I’m optimistic that it can be done. Clearly the interest is there.” Cal Fire and local firefighting groups called another public meeting since then to study lessons learned from the Bear Fire above Boulder Creek, which burned nearly 400 acres before containment.

for Cal Fire before recently retiring as a station captain in Corralitos. He says the reality of fire danger in Santa Cruz County is part of California’s natural landscape, and will require continually evolving vigilance. “The Lockheed and Summit fires were wind-driven fires initially, also the Oakland Hills Fire in 1991,” says Carlson. “These areas have histories of burns, these are areas where plants are adapted to fire—knobcone pines, called fire pines, manzanita—fire is a part of their ecology. And part of it is that we live in these areas.”

EL CRE QU E O

was a mountainous, heavily forested area with less housing but more vegetation. Joe Christie from the Santa Cruz Fire Safe Council says 80 people attended. Christie says that prevention efforts in the area are complicated by the network of access roads, overgrown by vegetation, and by rural residents who value privacy and are concerned with the prospect of increased code enforcement. The lack of egress is a problem, not just on a neighborhood level. It is a similar challenge on a larger scale for fire managers in Santa Cruz and across the West. There’s no easy way out of this expanding fire risk; fuel buildup, drought and climate change have all been piling up for decades. It’s especially a problem when strong winds shift the main fire response strategy to flight, rather than fight. Stuart Carlson worked 35 seasons

“I never quite understood what the campesinos were going through until this project. It’s one of those things that I never experienced for myself. Even if you hear stories about how life is for the campesinos in the field, you don’t really pay attention to it.” — VICTOR CARTAGENA <26 the campesinos were going through until this project,” says Cartagena. “It’s one of those things that I never experienced for myself. Even if you hear stories about how life is for the campesinos in the field, you don’t really pay attention to it.” His muse in the “We Feed You” project was a 102-year-old Salinas man who stood alongside Cesar Chavez in the United Food Workers movement, Maurilio Maravilla. Maravilla not only embodies many of the workers’ rights issues that Cartagena illustrates in the show, he’s also the direct subject for the show’s most visceral component. Inspired by Maravilla’s stories of sucking on sugar cane to maintain energy for a long day’s work, “Sugar Face” features a dozen casts of Maravilla’s face, each made of sugar. The masks are designed to decay and melt over the course of the four-month show. “They start to disintegrate pretty quickly,” says the artist. “Each one is made a little differently, so one will decay faster than another. And eventually, they’ll all disappear.” One of the show’s biggest challenges, says Cartagena, was casting a life mask on a 102-yearold man, who had to sit still with his face in plaster for 20 minutes. “I was afraid he was going to fall asleep or something. We recorded the whole thing, and at the end, we asked him what was the most difficult thing about it, and he said, ‘You kept asking me if I was OK. I’ve been through so much in my life. This is nothing.’” ‘We Feed You: Works by Victor Cartagena’ runs through July 22 at the Museum of Art & History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. santacruzmah.org.

handsomely appointed dinner table that the San Francisco-based artist has titled “La Santa Cena (The Last Supper).” On the table, glowing yellow in condiment bottles, are samples of sulphur, which is so ubiquitous as a pesticide in the fields that it often ends up in the food (as well as on the clothes and the bodies) of the migrant workers at the end of a long day. “The people picking your food can’t even enjoy their own food,” says Cartagena. “We Feed You” is largely the same show that Cartagena brought to the San Jose Museum of Art in 2017. That show was tailored to the exhibition space in San Jose, and the new show is similarly designed to fit into the MAH. An 80-footlong mural of charcoal sketches, for example, has been cut and pasted into an entirely different context in Santa Cruz. The sketches feature an unsettling collection of figure studies mixing human and donkey characteristics to form a satire of bureaucracy called, in a Spanishflavored pun, the “Burrocracia.” More haunting (but no less punny) is an enormous cascade of tea bags, each containing a photo of a migrant worker, titled “Labor Tea.” “The connection is they use you, they suck all the good out of you, and when there’s no more to get from you, they throw you away,” says Cartagena. A native of El Salvador, Cartagena came to California as a young man during the Salvadoran civil war in the mid-1980s. His work has never shied away from the political, but he had never addressed the policies of the U.S. food production system until this show. “I never quite understood what

KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN? Canadian dream-pop band Alvvays plays the Catalyst on Wednesday, April 11.

APRIL 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dream Analysis

Alvvays’ Molly Rankin doesn’t mind if you misinterpret her catchy, literary songs BY AARON CARNES

olly Rankin, the guitarist and lead singer for Canada’s breakout dream-pop band Alvvays doesn’t mind that the group’s most beloved single, “Archie, Marry Me” has been so thoroughly misunderstood. Most fans and critics, including me, hear a song that embraces domestic life in the face of youth and rebellion—or at least hear the singer pleading with a lover who expressed “contempt for matrimony” to give marriage a shot. The music’s wispy, distorted ’90s indie-pop sound fits this interpretation.

But in fact, its intended meaning was the exact opposite. The earworm chorus: “Hey, hey, marry me, Archie” was written ironically. “I was at an age of seeing some of our friends leaping into cubicles and marriage, and I was afraid of that. I value being in the moment, staying up late and enjoying my youth. It was never about a plea to be wed,” Rankin says. “I kind of like the other life it’s taken on. I’m happy that people gleaned different things from it.” The video for “Archie, Marry Me,” which was released in 2014, is approaching 4 million views on YouTube. It’s the kind of poppy

song that gets stuck in your head, but doesn’t wear out its welcome when it gets there. I’ve probably listened to it 50 times myself. Despite its success, however, the band didn’t catch fire overnight. When Alvvays recorded the song, they weren’t even a band yet—it was a solo project for Rankin, with the other members “helping out.” It was the producer that saw that there was something special about what they were doing. “When he had signed on for the project, he thought I was a singer-songwriter, and then when we showed up it was a lot more than that,” says Rankin. “He was like,

‘you guys should have told me you were a band.’ We took that advice.” It took a while to find a label interested in releasing their debut album. One night, opening for Yuck in New York, they met some people from Polyvinyl Records who were interested. It was another three years before they released a follow-up album, Antisocialites, which came out last September. “The first record grew and kept growing. So we had to keep on playing shows due to that growth, which was a very gradual thing,” Rankin says. It seems to me that the sound of the new record is a little less hazy and distortion-filled, and a little softer and morose than Alvvays’ debut—but Rankin disagrees. “I feel like the second record is more distorted, and has a little bit more energy,” she says, although she doesn’t mind my interpretation. “That’s cool, because it’s a subjective thing.” However you hear the album, the content is darker. She refers to it as a “fantasy breakup album,” a loose concept album documenting the various aspects related to a break up. The fantasy part is that it’s not based on her life. “The record goes through a lot of the different stages: separation, self-preservation, and hitting one’s stride after the fact. It was fun to follow a little bit of that arc, because there were so many aspects to separation and being with somebody,” Rankin says. “I’m not very good at writing about my own life. I like lonely solitary characters. I typically read books that have that sort of premise.” There are still catchy hooks that permeate every corner of these songs, and soften the melancholy vibe. Rankin writes not as personal catharsis, but rather as an opportunity to spin stories the way a novelist would. “I’m very intrigued by space and tuning out and creating my own little planet,” she says. “With everything going on in the world right now, I think it’s also channeled a little bit of that escapism.” Alvvays plays at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11, at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

This show series will feature weekly themed music events, with local musicians alongside her encaustic visual art. Lowden will be playing with her jazz trio ‘Jazz With a Twist’ during the reception, to the beat of some twisted cocktails. INFO: Reception 2-5 p.m. Sunday, April 15.

Since B12 is not absorbed well during digestion, and all B vitamins are depleted by stress, most Americans are deficient. Having B12 in the form of an injection bypasses the malabsorption problem, and people often feel an immediate difference. Every Thursday morning, we offer discounted vitamin B12 by walk-in or appointment. 9 a.m.-Noon. Thrive Natural Medicine, 2840 Park Ave., Soquel. thrivenatmed.com or 515-8699. $15.

FILM

MAKING A POINT Despite its 1950s setting, ‘The Death of Stalin’ has plenty of satirical relevance in 2018.

Communist Plot Driven APRIL 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Hilarious ‘Death of Stalin’ has fun with Cold War game of thrones BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

he year 2018 has made us all connoisseurs of misrule. Thus Armando Iannucci’s speedy farce, The Death of Stalin, has relevance. Still, at a recent San Francisco appearance, Iannucci stressed that he shot the film in the summer of 2016, lest viewers suspect it was some sort of allusion to the court of Trump. (Putin didn’t like it— it was banned in Russia.) The movie finds comedy in the plight of shivering people, fearing the knock on the door in the middle of the night. And it lampoons that infuriating boredom that comes from serving a man who always, always must be right. One evening in 1953, the highest

executives of the USSR are socializing with Stalin. As played by Adrian McLoughlin, this enemy of mankind is smaller than you’d expect. He gathers his cohorts to watch an old cowboy movie in a language they don’t understand. Later that night, Stalin is struck by a brain hemorrhage; he’s flat on the floor in a large puddle of piss, which will soon be diluted by the crocodile tears of Stalin’s staff. No one wants to be the first to call a doctor, in case he wakes up. The dictator dies, and there is no clear designated successor. However, the portly Beria (Simon Russell Beale), head of the NKVD secret police, and a sadist and rapist who has kompromat on everyone, aims to be Stalin II.

The contenders are nervous weaklings. The darkest horse among them is the diplomat Molotov (Michael Palin, perfect in this part as a man corroded by tyranny). Molotov tries to stay on Beria’s good side even though the secret police chief arrested Molotov’s wife. Meanwhile, the weird, troutfaced Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambour) oversees the transition team, while fussing over his official portrait. No one realizes that Nikita Khrushchev, not a prepossessing man, will be the most skilled of the plotters. Steve Buscemi is the last actor you’d think of to play a stocky, warty mid-century Soviet politician. Yet the cross-casting wins. He gives

this comedy of terror some warmth and sanity. Like Stalin, Khrushchev was a killer—he admitted later that he had blood on his hands (“up to the elbow,” he lamented). Yet Iannucci was intelligent to pick Khrushchev as the one we root for. There’s something about him that invites nostalgia—for a dictator, he was quite human. Khrushchev just wanted to go to Disneyland, after all. Were Iannucci as soft as Capra or Spielberg, he could have staged Khrushchev’s real-life heroic moment, when he took the serious risk of telling the 20th Party Congress that they no longer needed to quake in terror in front of Stalin’s dirty underwear. Buscemi burlesques this hardheaded boss as an antsy, anxious nebbish—able to fawn, while trusting no one. As on The Sopranos, he’s a jester to terrifying people. (He tries to entertain Stalin with a ridiculous story about how they used to play hot potato with live grenades back in winter in Stalingrad, just to keep their hands warm.) He has Woody Allen-worthy delivery when he introduces the fearsome Field Marshal Zhukov (Jason Isaacs); the officer makes his grand entrance, whipping off his cloak to show off a chest gleaming with medals. Khrushchev mutters, “He planted the flag on Hitler’s tomb or knocked out a bear with one punch, I forget which.” Russian accents are the king of comedic dialects. Yet the cast keeps their own voices, for the same reason that actors perform Shakespeare in modern dress—so we can tell the posh people from the proles. The natural accents add a level of comedic distance to this tale of woe and murder. Like the ’60s British political comedies it resembles, The Death of Stalin may be too clever, too mordant. But it does have tang, Tom Stoppardlike wordplay and some big and surprising laughs. What’s best about this razory comedy is that just from the tone, you can tell the difference between what’s true and what’s too good to be true, and there’s more of the former than the latter. THE DEATH OF STALIN Directed by Armando Iannucci. Starring Steve Buscemi, Adrian McLoughlin and Michael Palin. R; 107 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BEIRUT Studio executive No. 1: “Hey, have we ever done a movie about a white guy who goes in to fix the Middle East?” Studio executive No. 2: “Hold on, let me check … hmm, it looks like that’s the storyline of literally every movie we do about the Middle East.” Studio executive No. 1: “Really? Wow! So we shouldn’t do this movie about John Hamm as an ex-diplomat brought to Beirut by the CIA to negotiate for the life of a friend he left behind?” Studio executive No. 2: “Did you not hear me? Statistically speaking, we have to do that movie. Cultural stereotypes aren’t going to perpetuate themselves!” Studio executive No. 1: “How are we so good at our jobs?” Directed by Brad Andersen. Co-starring Rosamund Pike and Dean Norris. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) FINDING YOUR FEET This movie is likely to come in very handy if, like me, you often misplace your feet. What, it’s not a documentary about the most common places people leave their feet? Well, that’s disappointing. No, I don’t care that this is a critically acclaimed romantic comedy with a lovely cast that’s being called the feelgood movie of the year! I want to know where my feet are! Directed by Richard Loncraine. Starring Imelda Staunton, Timothy Spall and Joanna Lumley. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP)

TRUTH OR DARE Guess the plot of this horror movie! A game of Truth or Dare turns deadly when a) teenagers start mysteriously dying if they fail to tell the truth or do the dare; b) one of the dares is to eat

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 BLACK PANTHER After months of jaw-droppingly cool trailers and ever-more revealing clips, anticipation for this latest Marvel comic adaptation is at a fever pitch. The character at the center of this story, T’Challa (played here by Chadwick Boseman), goes all the way back to 1966, and was the first character of African descent in a major American comic. Incredibly, it took more than 25 years of development hell for this adaptation to finally reach the big screen—but it’s finally here, primed to be one of the biggest movies of the year. Directed by Ryan Coogler. Co-starring Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Bassett. (PG-13) 134 minutes. (SP) BLOCKERS Apparently it’s still taboo to use the phrase “cockblockers” as a movie title, so the makers of this comedy instead put a silhouette of a rooster in front of the word “blockers.” So much classier! And hey, what else but total class would you expect from a movie about parents trying to keep their sex-obsessed teenagers from boinking after prom? Directed by Kay Cannon. Starring John Cena, Leslie Mann and Kathryn Newton. (R) 102 minutes. (SP) CHAPPAQUIDDICK Last week, my dad asked me if this movie about Ted Kennedy’s national scandal

was going to tarnish the late politician’s reputation. Not having been born yet when the 1969 incident went down, I asked “Wait, didn’t the actual Chappaquiddick already tarnish his reputation?” But he said I would be surprised at how much of—and how quickly— the whole tragedy was swept under the rug at the time. Despite its infamy, there is indeed a bizarre level of mystery still surrounding what happened the night of July 18, 1969, on the Dike Bridge on Chappaquiddick Island. So even those who were around back then are likely to learn a thing or two from this fictionalized retelling of the story, based on true accounts. Directed by John Curran. Starring Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, Ed Helms and Bruce Dern. (PG-13) 101 minutes. (SP) THE DEATH OF STALIN Reviewed this issue. Directed by Armando Iannucci. Starring Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Michael Palin, Paddy Considine and Jeffrey Tambor. (R) 107 minutes. (SP) A FANTASTIC WOMAN (LA MUJER FANTASTICO) Transgender actress Daniela Vega makes a triumphant debut playing a transgender woman fighting for respect in modern-day Chile. Winner of this year’s Foreign Language Oscar, Sebastián Lelio’s engrossing film is a resonant and stylishly-told story about the basic human right to live with dignity and carve out one’s identity in the world. When her partner of several years dies suddenly, and his family closes ranks against her, she experiences the universal plight of an outsider forbidden the rights of the legal kinship group. That not all of these issues are gender identitybased broadens the film’s scope, and in Vega’s fearless performance, we get a heroine worth cheering for. (R) 105 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles. (LJ) LEANING INTO THE WIND In 2001, German filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer made Rivers and Tides, a stirring documentary about the life and extraordinary work of "environmental artist"

Andy Goldsworthy, a vibrant joyride through themes of art, time and nature. To the delight of artists and movie lovers everywhere, filmmaker and subject reunite in this new doc. It's an invigorating portrait of the artist 16 years later: older, mellower (perhaps) but no less questing, as he travels the globe revisiting old work (or what's left of it), setting himself new challenges, and always seeking new ways to look at art, his work, and life. Like its predecessor, this move is a feast. Peel your orbs and dig in! (PG) 93 minutes. (LJ) THE LEISURE SEEKER Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren drive an RV from Boston to Florida in a journey full of surprises and lifeaffirming joy. This is only a movie … for now. Don, Helen, call me! We’re gonna road trip! Guys! Guys? (R) 112 minutes. (SP) LOVE, SIMON The clever trailer for this film does a good job of building up the big secret that high schooler Simon is keeping: he’s gay. What happens when everyone finds out? Well, it’s a romantic comedy, not, say, a horror film, so the outlook is good. Starring Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Garner. Directed by Greg Berlanti. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (SP) PACIFIC RIM UPRISING Isn’t it kind of weird to think that, as of Guillermo Del Toro’s Oscar victory for The Shape of Water, the original Pacific Rim—a movie about giant robots that battle giant monsters—is officially the product of an Academy-Award-winning director? It’d be like if Michael Bay won an Oscar for directing, and we all started thinking about the Transformers movies differently … okay, that’s not going to happen. For this sequel, the series lost Del Toro as director (he’s producing here) and Idris Elba as its marquee actor, but adds John Boyega as his robot-driving, monsterfighting son. Directed by Steven S. DeKnight. Co-starring Scott Eastwood and Jing Tian. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP) A QUIET PLACE You may only remember him as the goofy

straight man from The Office, but John Krasinski has been quietly writing and directing offbeat indie films for years. This one—which he directed, co-wrote, and stars in (with his wife, Emily Blunt)—could be his first big hit. Following the recent trend of smart, trippy horror thrillers, it’s about a family hiding from creatures that hunt using sound. (PG-13) 90 minutes. (SP) READY PLAYER ONE This film adaptation of the book that crammed every reference to ’80s nerd culture into one story is brought to you Steven Spielberg, the man who gave you most of that ’80s nerd culture in the first place. Pop will indeed eat itself. Most people are going for the Easter eggs (and released on Easter week, too—clever!), but in case you care about the story, it’s about a kid in 2045 who joins a treasure hunt through a virtual-reality world called the Oasis that gives people respite from their dreary real lives. Starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn and Simon Pegg. (PG-13) 140 minutes. SHERLOCK GNOMES I don’t know how else to say this: he’s a garden gnome and he solves mysteries. That explains the name, but maybe not how this B-level animated children’s comedy got such a distinguished cast to sign on. Starring the voices of Johnny Depp, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Emily Blunt, James McAvoy, Maggie Smith and Michael Caine. Directed by John Stevenson. (PG) (SP) TOMB RAIDER When critics described her turn as a robot object of desire in Ex Machina as a “breakout role,” I doubt they had any idea how right they were. Now, here she is poised to be the next Angelina Jolie, taking over as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider franchise. I know, I know, The Bourne Legacy didn’t exactly make Jeremy Renner the next Matt Damon, and the Carrie remake certainly didn’t make Chloe Grace Moretz the next Sissy Spacek. Geez, you people are cynical! (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP)

WINE OF THE WEEK

Versatile to the max is the Altocedro Malbec 2016 currently sitting pretty on the Gabriella wine list ($30). We split a bottle at Easter dinner, and the deep crimson wine from the splendid province of Mendoza proved a sensitive partner to duck, lamb and fish. Yes, that’s what I said. Graced with enough tobacco, leather, and mystery spice to handle the red meats, this Malbec was restrained enough to allow the soft perfume of rock cod to expand. Give it a try at your next visit to Gabriella. I’m betting that whatever you order, this wine will do the trick.

DESSERT OF THE WEEK

GROWING APPETITE Chef Rebecca Mastoris of the Teen Kitchen Project will provide the garden dining for the

fourth annual May Flower Festival and Feast.

APRIL 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Herbal Awareness

Garden dining at the May Flower Festival and Feast; plus a perfect dessert BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he fourth annual May Flower Festival and Feast on May 27 benefits the aromatic work of the College of Botanical Healing Arts, which is dedicated to research in plant-based medicine. This year’s festival happens up at the hummingbird-intensive UCSC Arboretum. The culinary skills of the Teen Kitchen Project, working with chef Rebecca Mastoris, will create a vegetarian essential oil infused cuisine to stimulate the senses. In keeping with the intriguing gardens and flowering vistas of the neverbetter Arboretum, the event’s menu

will offer a menu filled with edible flowers such as nasturtiums, borage, lavender, and pansies. It sounds like the sort of menu that would have pleased Shakespeare and other Elizabethan pleasure-seekers from long-ago gardens and far-away feasts. Eating a garden on a plate, while actually surrounded by a garden, makes a sort of surrealist magic, and also takes full advantage of the vivacious new developments up at UCSC’s surprising collection of rare plants. Mastoris, a wizard of vibrant menus featuring seasonal ingredients, regularly caters

events at Live Earth Farms and is thinking along these lines. A main dish lasagna of stuffed Portobello mushrooms with preserved lemon will be joined by a side of garlicky kale with pine nuts, currants, lemon, and pickled onions. Dessert of lavender honey tea cakes will round out this late spring menu. The fourth annual Flower Festival unfolds on Sunday, May 27 from noon to 5 p.m., and the meal will be joined by live jazz and bossa nova classics by Trio Passarim. There will be demonstrations and a garden walk, plus the chance to savor an essential

Strawberry Cheesecake, also at Gabriella. When you’re hot, you’re hot. The impact of absolutely perfect fresh strawberries topping a barely sweet, very light cheesecake sided with whipped cream, mint and candied hazelnuts, well, you can imagine. Tasting even better than it sounds, this Easter week dessert created by pastry chef Krista Pollack was itself miraculous. You know those times when you say to yourself, dammit, I’m an adult and I can skip the main course and just eat dessert? Well, for those times, there’s the pastry menu at Gabriella Cafe. Trust me.

Local gluten-free business takes on edibles BY AARON CARNES

n 2012, Jenn Ulmer Jenkins started eating gluten-free, and found she needed to teach herself how to create delicious gluten-free baked goods. A year later, she started In The Breadbox, and now you can find her products in restaurants all over Santa Cruz County, like Michael’s on Main, Crow’s Nest, and Earthbelly. Her gluten-free hamburger bun quickly became her most popular item, and for a while she had expanded to the point of running a retail store for her products. But she’s made some changes—now the commercial kitchen she manages is a strictly cannabis kitchen, so she’s moved In The Breadbox to a different one. She spoke to us about the new direction of her business.

You manage a cannabis kitchen now? JENN ULMER JENKINS: Because of the law of Jan. 1, regular food businesses and edibles cannot be in the same kitchen, so I had to make a decision about what to do. I made the decision to go the edibles route with the kitchen. As of March 1, we are strictly an all-edibles kitchen,

and renting to eight to nine edibles companies. We are Santa Cruz’s only edibles kitchen. I moved In the Breadbox back to the kitchen I used to rent. I’m back to just wholesale. I have my hamburger buns with many restaurants here in Santa Cruz, I do pizza crust for many restaurants, I do some pancake-waffle blend for some of the restaurants for breakfast, I do vegan cookies for Veg on the Edge. I’m getting some of our products that we used to sell retail, like our frozen biscuits, in the stores.

And you’re starting your own edibles line, Sweet Blossom? Yes. That’ll be In the Breadbox’s edibles brand, run out of my edibles kitchen. It’s going to be gluten-free edibles—we’re going to do sweet bread—and some CBD dog treats for the pet stores. I’m still trying to figure out the products that we’re going to make in the edible line. I’m also looking at the local edible companies that are in there. Some of my renters just do CBDs and some do just THC. We’ll be doing both. 477-9484, inthebreadbox.com.

ne of my favorite go-to wines is Rosé. Today’s Rosés are such a far cry from those of yesteryear. Remember when Mateus Rosé was all the rage? I was living in Greece many moons ago when it first became available—and we used to drink gallons of it. It’s still around and remains inexpensive. But, thank heavens, Rosés have taken a turn for the better, and wineries such as Windy Oaks are making good-quality Rosé from grapes harvested in the Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey County. Their 2016 Bastide La Combe Rosé is a terrific wine for around $20, and, with warmer spring weather now, it’s a handy wine to take on a picnic, especially with its easy-to-open screw-cap top. Made in the French Provençal style from 100-percent Grenache grapes, it’s harvested at low brix. (Brix measures sugar in wine grapes and determines how much alcohol a wine will have.) So, in this case, the Rosé has a low alcohol

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

What are your financial realities and perspectives, how are they faring, are they safe, are they budgeted, and do you tithe? These are some of the monetary questions coming into focus. Also, of importance is the review, revision and recognition of your true values. What and whom do you value? Do you consider yourself as valuable? How? These days and nights shed light upon your true Aries self.

Be careful with resources, values, money and finances. Be acutely aware of where your money is being used, how much and when it’s coming in, and carefully jot down what you do with it (your money). Consider investments at this time in gold and silver, especially gold. Carefully assess your money as it finances your future.

On Wednesday Venus trines Mars—our relationships become most important to tend to. Simultaneously, Sun conjuncts Jupiter—we have more love and compassion for others. Friday Venus sextiles Neptune as the Moon is in Pisces. We seek authentic and intelligent friendships, able to spot illusion and glamours quite easily. Friday is v/c (Moon void of course) all day—so we remain solitary and keenly observant. Aries Moon begins late Friday evening. Saturday morning, just after midnight, Jupiter sextiles Pluto. We have deep and expansive dreams. In the morning Mars sextiles Neptune—the dreams come true. Sunday, Mercury is still in the sky, preparing to move forward at 4.47 degrees Aries. Mercury doesn’t reach its retrograde shadow until May 4. So, we proceed slowly forward. The new moon occurs Sunday at 6:57 p.m. (West Coast time), at 26 degrees Aries. The Sun and Moon are together

in Aries, calling forth all fiery forms from the heavens. Calling forth the Divine Mind of God to impress humanity’s minds. “I come forth and from the plane of Mind, I rule,” says Mercury. The Lords of Fire (Agni Lords) are present during the month of Aries, especially at the New and Full Moon times. These great beings hold the archetype (pattern) for the future race of humanity with the task of producing a harmonious and peaceful world to come. The Lords of Fire participated in our initial creation, but for most of humanity, their work lies still in the future. The fires (Fohat) of their nature produce a purifying consciousness. These fires produce the discriminating personality, the illumined consciousness, and a fiery force field of radiation needed in our ascent, or resurrection, of consciousness back toward the Source.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 There could be confusion in communication with close friends, partners, friends, associates and intimates. There could also be questions concerning your possessions and their maintenance. Something important for day to day living may have stopped working. It’s possible that someone close may not understand you. There won’t be any compromise. Our life changes through the decisions we make, and often through what we can’t quite see yet.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

Revelations may appear as your mind has an inner focus, quite compassionate at times, yet it could turn quickly to a Virgo criticalness. Be aware of this. Study the religious and/or spiritual. Alice Bailey’s book Service (a compilation) is good at this time. Have the intention for fairness, for non-judgment, clarity and “Let reality guide my every thought and Truth be Master of my Life.”

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

During this time, we've all been returning to the past, to friends and/or family close to us, to those we need, love and cherish. Our family is our first and foremost experience of community and group work, where we grow, encounter and learn life’s lessons. Should sad or lamenting thoughts appear, think on them with forgiveness and begin writing them down in longhand. Eventually, healing takes place.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 One-on-one communication needs deep awareness, care and kindness. Previous partnership issues, concerning constancy, safety, money and security, arise once again, for re-evaluation. Messages may continue to be mixed. Be aware of this. Disputes call for negotiation. Perhaps this is too difficult for you. Make no decision till after Mercury’s shadow. Simply observe. Then follow the beauty, the bliss, the heart and your intuition.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You’re more sensitive than usual. Is that possible? Yes. Healthwise, for the next several weeks, it’s best to create daily routines that strengthen your well-being. Maintain a non-judgmental response to everyone, lest falling into old criticisms and sarcasms occurs. Criticism separates us. Then an existential loneliness emerges. Find silence, beauty, a sanctuary, an ashram, a sangha. Rest in one from new moon to full to new again.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Observe children, family and loved ones during these Mercury shadow days. Children and elders are especially sensitive to transits. In your observations, what do you see in terms of their ability to communicate, maneuver in their world of friends, school and studies? Help them (with you, too), create a Mercury Retrograde and Shadow Journal for later use. Observe yourself during these times, too. What are you remembering these days?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Communication confusions could have occurred at work, with colleagues, superiors, and others working around you. Awareness of this allows you to make concessions when speaking in the future. The focus for three weeks was on critical judgments concerning your work and other people’s work, everything professional and most importantly your life path. Shift the critical judgements to praise.

Things, thoughts, events are occurring about home. They have roots from many months ago. There’s a shift about what home means, and what you consider your personal foundation. This has been a time for assessment, review, re-evaluation and revelations concerning home—what you need, where and what home is for you. Assess how family can assist with your plans for a home. Ask them. They want to help.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

What are you thinking about in terms of education, travel, legal affairs and all communications with co-workers? Have there been delays in many areas of your life recently? Things will ease soon. Be very clear when discussing joint finances and decisions with professionals. Know that you may be hidden for a while, your actions therefore must be explained to others so they are understood. Use few precise words.

You will find that only patience assists at this time. It seems that emptiness has come to roost in all parts of your life and it is very hard to understand. Stand with that emptiness, become empty yourself, allow life to flow through you. Many will not understand this part of your life. It’s an initiation, very valuable, extremely difficult. You stand alone. No matter your actions, the emptiness remains. Expect nothing. Be still like nothing at all. Good.

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Season the ribs well with salt and pepper and add them to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 90 minutes, uncovered. Pour off any abundance of grease that has collected in the pan. At the end of the first 90 minutes, increase the oven temperature up to 350 degrees F. Then turn the ribs over and baste them with BBQ sauce. Continue basting in 30-minute intervals, turning the ribs each time you baste with sauce. After 90 minutes, the meat will begin to fall apart it’s so tender – you’ll notice this when you turn the ribs during basting. Once the ribs are tender, baste them one more time and then move them under the broiler. Broil the ribs for a minute or two just to caramelize the sauce. The sugars in the sauce can char fast so be sure to stay close to the oven during the broiling process. Serve with your favorite BBQ sides like mac n cheese, cole slaw, or potato salad.

BOB LAMAR, 33-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: First Transit driver Hobbies: Master Gardner, landscaping, plant propagation, biking, hiking, cooking, baking Astrological Sign: Leo What first got you shopping here? I was a route driver for Frito-Lay, and Shopper’s was one of my stops. This was when the founding owners were here. This is my favorite market. They carry products that you can’t find elsewhere, like their many imported items. It’s a friendly store with a comfortable, old-school feel. I like the wooden floors. Shopper’s has good pricing, and I prefer supporting local businesses. It’s great that you can find so many good local products here such as their many fresh salsas, Glaum eggs, the breads, especially Kelly’s, Marianne’s ice cream and the organic produce.

What do you like to cook? I really enjoy making Austrian food. I was born in Austria, and we moved to the States when I was 5. Then we moved back for a few years when I was 10. I make schnitzel, pork roasts, goulash, spaetzleh (small noodles for soups), sauerkraut, potato salad and dumplings. I also like to bake cakes, breads and strudel. Shopper’s has a good selection of flours, including King Arthur. This store somehow has everything that I need for my recipes, along with chestnut puree, marizpan, and quality baking chocolates for my pastries. They have amazing specialty products.

What else is on your “speciality” list? Definitely the cheeses and wine selections. Great variety in both departments. Shopper’s carries 6-7 Austrian wines, where other stores might have one choice. I appreciate being able to bring my mother an Austrian wine when visiting her. I also like their French and California wines. Shopper’s butcher shop reminds me of when I was a boy growing up in Austria: It’s always clean, and they’ll trim or special-cut whatever you need. Excellent quality! Shopper’s is an anchor of the community. It’s always fun coming here. Karla and all the checkers are really nice.

“Shopper’s is my favorite market. They carry products that you can’t find elsewhere, like their many imported items.”
