OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I remember when Kelly Luker told me she was going to become a private investigator. She had been at Metro Santa Cruz before me, part of what I considered an all-star group of reporters and writers who had made me aspire to work there in the first place. When I came on as the paper’s editor, she took some time to help me figure out how things worked. I didn’t know her except from her writing, and I was already thinking that she seemed like even more of a badass in person than she did in her stories, so when she told me she was thinking about becoming a

LETTERS ODE TO AN ARTIST Jim Aschbacher (GT, 5/2) was a marvelous, high-spirited artist and arts booster who enriched the visual landscape of Santa Cruz. We shared a love of outré and cult movies and had the privilege of going to the Oscar-watching parties he and Lisa hosted. He will be dearly missed. MICHAEL AND KATIE GANT | APTOS

FALSE CHOICES IN UCSC DEBATE

“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.” There’s still some dispute about whether or not a U.S. army major actually said that during the Vietnam War, but the line is pretty apt when one contemplates what Chancellor Blumenthal and Executive Vice Chancellor Tromp are contemplating for the UCSC campus (GT, 3/22). It’s the destruction of one of the world’s great university settings, and a reversal of a record of environmental protection that is the fruit of long struggles by the people of the North Coast. Take the meadows of our marine terraces. When the owners of Coast Dairies wanted to build luxury homes on the meadows north of town, people organized and defeated them. But no victory is permanent. For more than 50 years, in accord with its founding landscape design vision and

private investigator, I was not even that surprised—although totally impressed. The idea of being a P.I. was surrounded by a certain mystique, for sure. It was like the ultimate cool job. In this week’s cover story, Luker talks to Georgia Johnson about that starstruck quality that people like me would get when she told them about her private investigator work. Of course they’d want to hear all about what it was like, and of course they imagined it to be full of all kinds of drama and intrigue. As Luker’s new book Private Eye for the Bad Guy reveals, however, they didn’t know the half of it. In Johnson’s story and in an excerpt from the book, you’ll get a taste of what her P.I. job was really like, and it is eyeopening to say the least. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

a tradition of care and stewardship, UCSC has kept its meadows open. Now the East Meadow is threatened with 40 pre-fab units spread over 15 acres. Goodbye, then, to that magical prospect when one enters the campus and comes upon the meadows stretching north and east toward the campus in the redwoods. And then there’s the current plan for Student Housing West, near Empire Grade. The plan there includes two 10-story brutalist behemoths, crude and stark since designed to be built on the cheap. For hikers and bikers in Wilder Ranch and Grey Whale, and in the Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument to come, these towers will dominate views to the south and east. They will be the first buildings to tower above the redwood forest (for the next 500 years at least), in a reversal of UCSC’s decades-long design principles. They will be visible from everywhere in town. They will be visible from Monterey County. The university’s own Environmental Impact Report details alternatives that would preserve the East Meadow and shrink the towers’ height, so let’s recognize the current plans as a choice, not a necessity. Many have suggested that the current plan is driven by the priorities of the developer, in UCSC’s first use of the “public-private partnership.” Who knows? University officials have yet to give reasons for their choice. Proponents argue that housing and childcare needs are >8

Lifespan, a specialized Santa Cruz County aging care agency, has announced a new service to help the elderly stay connected as they age. The Well-Being Program recognizes that many lose the ability to pursue activities that may bring them joy as they grow older and often become disconnected from family and friends. For its 35th anniversary, Lifespan will hold a free class with tips on this topic on Thursday, June 28 from 5-6:30 p.m. at La Posada Senior Residence. To attend, RSVP to Marci@Chatterboxpublicrelations.com.

After more than a year of long and tense discussions, a South County standoff has come to an end. Pajaro Valley Unified School District and the Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers jointly announced a tentative compensation agreement on Friday, May 11. The three-year compromise adjusts benefits and promises raises for teachers and nurses, as well as specialists in adult education, early childhood education, psychology and speech language pathology. It includes a retroactive raise, going back to the 2016-17 school year.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 16 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer and fair-minded intermediary and honest storyteller. Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.

The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski once performed for England’s Queen Victoria. Since she possessed that bygone era’s equivalent of a backstage pass, she was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry. “Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said. “But before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the Queen attributed to him. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own. That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894. A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1922, another pioneer came up with a new process for producing peanut butter that made it taste better and last longer. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re part way through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Julia David Chandler’s original recipe. Onward! Keep going!

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate caramel. When they were first invented in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though. Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows? Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create—but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet imaginary masterpiece.

In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back. After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten, your skin glows, your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, now-rediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time.

The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand. On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “windswift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like.

GEMINI May21–June20

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825. The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant, “informed, aware, up-to-date.” I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of power in the coming weeks. You can be and should be as hip, cool, and groovy as you have been in a long time.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I hope you will seek out influences that give you grinning power over your worries. I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your most demanding dream. I hope you will make an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself—a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous self-assessment. Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way. But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future. But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance. Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering, and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention. Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed not for who you once were but for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting "I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!"

OPINION

Go from

so dire—and this is indisputably true—that the need to move forward quickly overrides environmental or design concerns. Housing or environment? This is a false and cynically worded choice. We can have both. Will Chancellor Blumenthal and EVC Tromp make the right choice? This would require asserting UCSC values over those of the corporate partner and its champions in the administration. We’ll see. University growth is on the ballot again. The fruits of UCSC’s democratic vision—a high quality public education in an exquisite setting—are significant, and we can all be especially proud that we have been able to

offer this combination to the more than 40 percent of UCSC undergraduates who are first-generation college students. With vision, imagination and creativity, it might be possible to make this available to more Californians, to grow intelligently, within our environmental constraints, while preserving the campus’s distinctive relationship to its environment. But if university officials persist with current plans, they will have forfeited any claim to be forces for smart and responsible growth. And in that case, university growth should be resisted from here on out, by all available means. CHRIS CONNERY | SANTA CRUZ

CALORIE COUNTER A new FDA rule says that all restaurants with more than 20 locations must list calories on their menus.

Down for the Count Does the FDA’s new menu labeling rule matter? policy. According to a 2016 Zagat survey, Americans eat out about 4.5 times a week—and that number does not even include breakfast. According to the FDA, about 50 percent of consumer food dollars spent, and 33 percent of calories consumed, are on foods prepared outside of the home. Consumers also either don’know, or often underestimate, how many calories and nutrients are in all of the restaurant food they’re eating. Diners have no doubt already started to see calorie counts on chain restaurant menus, as over the last few years businesses like Starbucks and Taco Bell have started to become compliant. But does a slightly more informed consumer make for a healthier-eating consumer?

Not necessarily. A 2014 review of the influence of calorie labeling on consumption, published by J Community Health, showed mixed results, leading to this conclusion by the authors: “We find that, while there are some positive results reported from studies examining the effects of calorie labeling, overall the best designed studies (real world studies, with a comparison group) show that calorie labels do not have the desired effect in reducing total calories ordered at the population level.” An additional evidence review done in 2016 on menu labeling, concluded that: “Overall, the evidence regarding menu labeling is mixed, showing that labels may reduce the energy content of food purchased in some contexts, but

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 16-22, 2018

ay 7 of this year marked the final compliance date for the FDA’s rule on menu labeling. Designed to improve access to nutrition information on restaurant food, the policy states that all restaurants and retail food establishments with more than 20 locations must list the calorie counts next to food items on their menus or menu boards. In addition, these businesses must also be able to provide, on request, written standard nutrition information that includes the amounts of total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, and sugar in their menu items. Given how often Americans dine out, it is surprising that it took this long for the FDA to adopt such a

have little effect in other contexts.” From the business side, the hope is that the new guidelines will encourage restaurants to offer more waistline-friendly menu options and perhaps cut back on the calories in some of their standard items. But it remains to be seen if restaurants will actually do this, or will instead try to obfuscate and skirt the guidelines. One way to do this is to reduce portion sizes. While this may seem helpful, if patrons simply order more food to compensate, the purpose is defeated. Restaurants may also do what many businesses in the food industry did during the low-fat craze of the 1990’s, when they traded some of the fat in food for more sugar and sodium, reducing calories but arguably making the food even more unhealthy. Also consider the obstacle that consumers face in restaurants that offer build-your-own burger, sandwich, pizza, or burrito options, where every ingredient’s calories are listed separately. Even if consumers are paying attention to the calorie counts, are they likely to add up all of the ingredients and do the math in the throes of hunger? And what about accuracy and verification of the calorie counts and other nutrition information? Restaurants will be providing their own nutrient content declarations, though the FDA requires a “reasonable basis” for these numbers. It is also crucial to keep in mind that simply knowing the overall number of calories in a food says little about its relative healthfulness. All calories are not created equal, and a 400-calorie basket of French fries is not equal in nutritional quality to a 400-calorie chicken salad. Calorie and nutrient levels only say so much—more important is to know the ingredients. Further, calorie and nutrient needs vary widely from person to person depending on a whole host of factors from age to exercise status, medical history, gender, desired weight goals, and genetics. So while calorie counts on menus can be helpful and at least a step in the right direction, until this same level of transparency is applied to ingredients as well, it paints a far from clear picture of a menu choice’s nutritional integrity.

NEWS CODE OF HONOR Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills explains new neighborhood policing approach and how it’s been interwoven with predictive policing methods

MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY MAT WEIR

From the top-floor briefing room of the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD), windows look out over rooftops throughout downtown. It’s one of five regions that city cops have staked out for the new neighborhood policing strategy announced by Chief Andy Mills a few months ago. “We’re not going to sit back and wait for crime to come to us. We’re going to go to it,” Mills says. Mills is standing in front of a large map that has Santa Cruz split into color-coded areas—the Upper Westside, Lower Westside, Downtown, Upper Eastside and Lower Eastside. In some ways, the operation sounds more like a department store staffing than a police operation, with Mills describing his lieutenants as “mid-level managers.” Each lieutenant gets assigned a number of police and community service officers. In a department with 94 cops total, 26 community service officers, lieutenants and sergeants have been reassigned without an increase in spending, Mills says. The SCPD is also still relying on its predictive policing algorithm to target higher-crime areas before new crimes happen. “The theory behind neighborhood policing is to work with the neighbors to deal with long-term problems and reduce them,” Mills says, “because the problems in one area are different than in others.” By focusing on specific sections of the city, lieutenants and their small teams of police and community service officers get to know the neighborhoods and community members better. The idea is that the groups can prioritize, respond to and prevent crime in their sections. Although it was only implemented in February, it’s a plan Mills has worked on since becoming chief in July of last year. Over that time, the police department has held 10 community meetings to gather information and listen to residents’ concerns about what they think are ongoing problems in their areas. The policy has two goals. The first is to prioritize each area’s crime so that >16

Control Issues

Economists hate it, landlords are nervous, but rent control is a popular proposition in Santa Cruz BY JACOB PIERCE AND STEVE PALOPOLI

here was cause for celebration when rent control supporters approached 10,000 signatures for their proposed November ballot initiative. They gathered on Sunday, May 6 at the Resource Center for Nonviolence—the same place they had announced their campaign four months earlier—to rejoice over a potluck-style buffet of quinoa, potato salad, chicken, and treats from Beckmann’s Bakery. “It’s amazing. So many people have stepped up to support this and make it grow,” said Josh Brahinsky, a leader of Movement for Housing Justice, which started the campaign.

“It’s like a snowball. We’re gathering more signatures this week than last week. Every week, it gets faster and faster. More people get involved.” They had reached their goal of 8,000 signatures one week earlier, pushing them to set a new goal of 9,000 signatures, which they had more than exceeded on the day of their party. By the time they turned them in on Wednesday, May 9, they had accumulated more than 10,700 signatures. Meanwhile, however, organizers were hearing from nervous landlords who said they were sympathetic to renters, but concerned about portions of the measure’s more extreme language.

That made Brahinsky and his fellow organizers contemplate a possible last-minute compromise on issues around relocation fees, subletting and the rent board’s pay. “We’re not worried about it passing,” Brahinsky explained to GT at the celebration, “but we would love to do this in a way that didn’t divide the community so intensely.” Brahinsky said organizers made a proposal to the Santa Cruz City Council suggesting they revisit the measure’s wording, and Brahinsky expressed interest in looking at either reducing relocation fees or eliminating them for landlords who own fewer properties—“things that for us are not the big story,” >14

NEWS CONTROL ISSUES <12

(RE) Broadcast News By Datta Khalsa, Broker

A few months ago, producer Brian Shulman asked me to participate in a local-access show about social, political and land use-related issues on Community TV Channel 27, called BTS Presents: Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz County Real Estate—Behind The Scenes. This foray into broadcasting started out with me reading a few of my recent news columns into the camera in an Andy Rooney editorial style, but I soon found myself drawn to more of an issues-based programming format. My role quickly evolved into that of moderator, interviewing a steady stream of guest panelists showing up to participate in spirited on-air discussions of land-use issues, with the current hot topic being rent control. So now, in addition to my day job serving my clients as a longtime real estate agent in the area, I also carry a business card that I hand out from time to time as the Host/Moderator of a local reality TV talk show. The variety of guests is a uniquely Santa Cruz blend of a broad spectrum of people from all walks, ranging from city council members to real estate professionals and property owners, along with NIMBYs, YIMBYs, homeless advocates and tenant advocates, including the author of the proposed Santa Cruz Rent Control ordinance. Not quite the cantina scene from Star Wars in its diversity, but getting there.

MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The format is shot at the CTV studios in downtown Santa Cruz as 25-minute episodes with between two and seven guests on the panel, and me alternately interviewing and interjecting my thoughts on the subject matter. Guests are given a general idea of the theme ahead of time but the actual topic and title of each show is generally thought up on the spot, just before the cameras start rolling, by whoever is there to participate in the day’s discussion.

As Brian likes to remind guests, the best thing about the show is not just having their views aired, but rather that they get to be at the table in a safe forum, often coming from diametrically opposed sides of an issue with a chance to meet the other side and participate in a conversation on matters of great relevance. The show airs on Sundays and Wednesdays, and episodes can also be accessed on YouTube with links available on my company website and Facebook pages for anyone who is interested in viewing or perhaps even joining the discussion. In the course of hosting, I have found myself reconnecting with my college days of studying political science and mass media communications, layers of my persona that had been largely dormant amidst a career and investments in real estate. Most of all, it has been personally rewarding to come in closer contact with key people who are passionate and active in shaping the social and political climate of our community, and it feels good to have a voice in matters which impact everyone who shares life as we know it here in Santa Cruz.

Brahinsky said, “but things that are creating a great deal of anxiety among people. We’d be happy to do those changes if they would help us do it.” In order to get changes like those, though, the Santa Cruz City Council would have needed to put a plan in motion two days later, on Tuesday, May 8, for placing a different version of the rent control measure on the November ballot. Brahinsky said he was telling organizers they should call the city the following day, pushing for a compromise. But no compromise ever happened. “My understanding is the movement for housing was having second thoughts about their own initiative and they made a last-minute bid to rewrite it, but it wasn’t possible,” says Mayor David Terrazas, who dislikes rent control, in part because it has been shown to decrease the supply of rental housing. Brahinsky says the group was dialoguing with a couple of landlords, but that once discussions got a little more

serious, many of them backed away and confessed they didn’t like rent control much anyway.

PUSHBACK AND PREDICTIONS The push for rent control faces intense opposition, and not just from landlords with a financial interest. At a more academic level, rentcontrol measures have consistently faced nothing but disdain from economists—even liberal ones like the New York Times’ Paul Krugman, who famously dismantled the concept in 2000, arguing that rent control’s disastrous effect on the supply and quality of housing was “among the best-understood issues in all of economics.” Locals got a look at the highlevel opposition to rent control up close on May 3 at the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership’s Regional Economic Summit, where featured speaker Dr. Chris Thornberg—a founding partner of the L.A.-based Beacon Economics LLC who was touted by MBEP as “one of the nation’s leading economists”—tore

into it mercilessly. Thornberg was there to speak on the state of the economy in the Monterey Bay, which he declared to be robust overall thanks to nearly record low unemployment, rising wages and continuing job growth. However, he pointed to two areas that he predicted will increasingly affect the economies of Santa Cruz and Monterey counties: an escalating labor shortage and a lack of housing. On the latter issue, Thornberg singled out rent control as a misguided solution that is destined to backfire. “Because labor markets are tight, wages are getting better. Wages are growing faster in California than anywhere in the country right now because of this labor shortage we have. And the result of that is that the share of rent-burdened households [households paying 30 percent or more of their income in rent] has been falling, not rising, in California. It’s actually getting better out there, because wages are rising faster than rents … which brings me of course to the >16

NEWS BRIEFS WAVE LENGTH Just in case anyone thought Santa Cruz didn’t already have enough ocean love to go around, a new environmental group has come to town, and it’s looking to carve out its own niche in the Monterey Bay. “We don’t want to come in as a new nonprofit that will take away from anyone else, but we feel there are some gaps,” says Laura Kasa, who’s consulting for the newly created Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (MBNMSF). As an example, the new foundation could create an ocean festival, Kasa says, that supports other oceanoriented groups—Save Our Shores, Save the Waves,

Surfrider Foundation, O’Neill Sea Odyssey, and even Patagonia’s volunteer network. “This chapter could help raise all boats,” says Kasa, a former director of Save Our Shores. The new Monterey Bay group is a local chapter of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, and the Central Coast represents something of a test market for the national group, which has set its sights on opening similar chapters in other coastal communities around the country. The local group has secured a matching grant of $48,000, so leaders will be looking to raise at least that much money over the next couple of months. Announced this past fall,

the MBNMSF has also signed on heavyweights with deep political and oceanic ties, enlisting boardmembers like former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Congressmember Sam Farr, former Santa Cruz Mayor Hilary Bryant, former state Assemblymember Fred Keeley, and the O’Neill Sea Odyssey’s Dan Haifley. Among the group’s goals, Kasa says, is to boost visitorship at the Sanctuary Exploration Center. Kasa says she hopes to raise awareness about elements of ocean stewardship in the federally protected sanctuary, like not hassling local sea life. Elkhorn Slough had 313 wildlife disturbances—including humans taking “selfies” with

animals—last year, 226 of which were of otters. Another issue the foundation will be highlighting is a troubling trend of whales getting entangled in fishing equipment. Of about 50 whale entanglements reported each year, nearly half are in the Monterey Bay. Kasa says Panetta, who served in President Barack Obama’s administration, has suggestions on how to engineer Dungeness crab traps in ways that could be safer for whales. The solutions may not be easy, she says, but the ocean ecosystem depends on it. “Getting Osama Bin Laden was difficult, but Leon did it,” Kasa says. “What could be more difficult than that?” JACOB PIERCE

NEIGHBOR DAY Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills says neighborhood policing lets cops work with locals to build stronger, safer communities. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

CODE OF HONOR <12

officers can more efficiently respond if a top level threat occurs. “When you call 911, what do you expect?” Mills asks rhetorically. “Someone to respond immediately.” That’s an approach often known as “no call too small.” However, according to a study by the Center for Public Safety Management—a nonprofit that assists local governments on how to better serve their citizens—that philosophy comes at a great cost. The SCPD dispatches officers on roughly 68,000 of the estimated 100,000 yearly calls. But according to the study, 22,000 of the cases responded to could be handled by someone other than a police officer. The 911 emergency line is intended for a crime in progress, to save a life or stop imminent violence, but unintentional abuse of the hotline has dispatchers busy with barking dogs, loud music complaints and other activities that are not crimes, no matter how bothersome. “About 77 percent are bottom-priority calls,” Mills says. He encourages residents to make such calls to the department’s non-emergency number, 471-1131. The second goal is to keep arrests low

by preventing common crimes in specific areas. Mills says he wants officers to make any necessary arrests, but also believes many problems in the community can’t be fixed through enforcement alone. He gives the analogy of a hypothetical intersection with a high collision rate. Officers can zero in on that intersection, ticketing anyone who runs a red light. And the city can install traffic signs with violation fees and program a forced delay between light changes to clear the area. In the case of neighborhood policing, preventative and informative measures can be as simple as educating communities with high-volume break-ins to lock their windows when they’re not home. Still, Mills says there are other methods “to fix these problems in the long haul” and that the department has many tools at its disposal. “SCPD is not here to make excuses for why crime exists,” Mills says. “We’re trying to figure out how to proactively control it.” The department has integrated this neighborhood-oriented strategy into predictive policing, a tool the department has been using for more than six years. Local company

PredPol helped lead something of policing revolution when it launched in 2012, helping departments like Santa Cruz target highercrime areas at higher-crime times. PredPol is now in more than 50 departments, according to co-founder Dr. Jeff Brantingham, who is also an anthropology professor at UCLA. These days, neighborhood lieutenants receive a report every morning to see which areas on their beat should be more heavily patrolled, based on previously reported crimes. It also serves as a gauge that will show whether or not previously problematic spots are becoming safer through officers’ efforts. The managers then give Mills a weekly report of the locations and types of crime they’re working on, how they are doing it and their results. Former SCPD crime analyst and current county supervisor Zach Friend says he’s seen predictive policing have a positive impact over the years. “It was meant to complement the strong history and philosophy of communityoriented policing within the department,” says Friend, “and allow for the most effective allocation of very limited resources.”

broader question of rent control,” said Thornberg. “You’ve got to understand, there’s a big downside to rent control. And that is that it’s horrible for the people you’re trying to help.” Thornberg said that rent control fails to create affordability for the low-income families that it should be protecting. “That’s the dirty little secret,” he said. “Go to places that have very ferocious rent control, and what you find is that rent control benefits largely middle-income families who maybe could buy a house or live in a nicer apartment, but ‘why would I when I have this great rent?’ You see this time after time. We went and looked at Berkeley. Berkeley put in very rigid controls on rental prices in their city. And what happened is low-income people were forced to move out, and now you have a bunch of middle-income families enjoying this wonderful protection of rent control in Berkeley, and you’ve hurt the poor people you’re trying to help. In the end, it doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.” Two assistant professors of economics at Stanford came to the same conclusion last September when they released a report titled “The Effects of Rent Control Expansion on Tenants, Landlords and Inequality: Evidence from San Francisco.” It found that San Francisco’s 1994 rent control initiative contributed to a 20 percent reduction in housing normally made available by tenants who move from one rental to another, and a 15 percent reduction in available housing offered by landlords, asserting that “this led to a citywide rent increase of 7 percent and caused $5 billion of welfare losses to all renters.” Weighing this against the money they estimated to be saved by tenants under rent control (a staggering $3,100 to $5,900 per person per year), they concluded that “substantial welfare losses due to decreased housing supply could be mitigated if insurance against large rent increases was provided as a form of government social insurance, instead of a regulated mandate on landlords.” >18

However, rent control supporters criticized the study’s findings. Veteran journalist Tim Redmond of 48hills.org wrote that most of the problems the study found actually come not from rent control itself but from loopholes landlords found in San Francisco’s 1994 initiative law. He argued the best solution is to target the loopholes while continuing to support rent control itself. Closing such loopholes means more than minor tweaks and modifications. The rules allow a landlord to move into one of his or her units or to change the setup into an owner-occupied condominium. Meanwhile, there has also been an effort to close a much bigger loophole, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which prevents rent control from limiting rates of California apartments built after 1995. The idea met resistance in the state legislature, but grassroots organizers say they have enough signatures for a ballot measure. And if the local and statewide measures both pass, rent control would place rent restrictions locally on all types of housing, potentially causing ripple effects through the area’s economy. Affordable housing advocate Sibley Simon, who’s against the local measure, says the changes would lead to a steep drop in the amount of new housing construction and that the initiative’s wording would create serious trouble for tenants. Simon told GT via email that the measure would be “a disaster for housing affordability in the future of Santa Cruz.” But Brahinsky sees a broad support for the Santa Cruz measure. He’s amazed by how much momentum the campaign has picked up toward the end of the petitioning window. That was in spite of organizers’ rate slowing down from 14 signatures per hour to six—partly because so many people had already signed. “The number of canvassers just increased so much in comparison,” he says. “The first week, we got about 600 signatures. The last week, we got about 1,600. We just kept speeding up. If I could convey that to the world, it would be that people just keep saying this matters so much.”

How Santa Cruz journalist-turned-private-investigator Kelly Luker learned the hard truths about a profession shrouded in mystery BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

elly Luker needed to learn how to smoke crystal meth. As a criminal defense private investigator in Santa Cruz in the mid-2000s, she had been asked to learn—and be able to demonstrate to a jury—the technique of smoking crystal meth and scraping down particles formed along the inside of a glass pipe. The client was definitely a drug addict, but she had to help prove he wasn’t a drug dealer, too—and that meant proving that he wouldn’t have been able to profit off the amount of “substandard” drug residue inside his pipe—which he was accused of selling. Luker had never smoked meth, and didn’t intend to start now. She needed a teacher, a propane torch, vitamins and liquid air freshener—not all of which were particularly easy to find. More than 10 stores and a couple of phone calls later, she got the goods and proceeded to visit her instructor—who, though long clean, demonstrated how to use the torch to melt air freshener tubes and theoretically smoke the more cost-effective meth substitute she had supplied: vitamin B12 pills. The case was dismissed. Looking back now, Luker says it was this kind of retrospectively funny and sometimes cringe-worthy moment that made the job unlike any other. She amassed a collection of used clothes for clients

who looked a bit worse for wear to appear in court in, and her car became her working office of briefcases, tennis shoes, latex gloves and a camera. It was her job to work with defense attorneys to find the cracks, holes and loose ends in the prosecution’s cases, and try to establish a fragment of reasonable doubt—no matter how repugnant she might have found the defendant. Her work was based on the belief that everyone deserves a fair trial and a chance to prove their case. Even when the evidence was insurmountable, the defense would attempt to prove the possibility of innocence, or at least lessen a client’s sentence in a plea bargain. For Luker, it made sense that someone had to defend the bad guys, but deep down she struggled with the moral issues around her job. “It was a challenge, [but] I worked really hard for all of it, and that's where I had to compartmentalize,” Luker says. “The hardest part was accepting that I would never make the job and my feelings about it congruent.” Luker writes about the six years she spent as a P.I. in her new book, Private Eye for the Bad Guy. After working as a staff reporter at Metro Santa Cruz and Metro San Jose for around six years, it was natural for her to write about her experiences.

CLUING IN <20 people about her work, Luker says their initial reaction was one of awe—they’d think, “Ooh, a private investigator.” Until they actually understood what the job entails, that is. “I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it, and that was difficult,” she says. “Most people weren’t thrilled with what I did, they didn’t want to hear about it and they couldn’t relate to it.” There were parts of the work she says she really enjoyed, like taking her dog with her on jobs, and just talking to people around town. It certainly didn’t get boring, she says, especially since there “was never the same thing twice.” What Luker wants people to know, more or less, is that realworld criminal justice is not like it is portrayed on television. The vast majority of the time, she says, criminals are found guilty or reach a plea bargain. And while Luker’s book isn’t looking for sympathy, it does humanize everyone involved in criminal defense. “We have awesome defense attorneys here, that’s one thing I took away and I really hope people get,” she says. “I mean, we have really, really good defense attorneys here. These people work their ass off for their clients.” Sure, they didn’t always win—and much of the time, they probably shouldn’t have—but what Luker’s book so eloquently emphasizes is that despite the odds against them, the defense attorneys and investigators never gave up. Work in the private investigator business tapered off, and she used the extra time to start her own business. Though she never officially retired from being a P.I., she has no plans to return and spends her time running a small dog boarding service, which she is very proud to say is kennel- and cagefree. The dogs run around the yard, and even sleep in the house, in a sort of ultimate canine vacation. “I just talk to the dogs now,” she says, laughing. “The conversations are great, and they listen so well.”

“I had to do something to express my feelings about it, because it was really hard for me,” she says. “If you are a writer, then it’s all material.” After she was laid off from Metro in 2001 during the economic downturn, it was a scramble to find something to pay the bills. She had a friend working as a P.I. and she thought the job might be fun and a good transition from journalism. After all, she loves asking questions and telling stories. An expert person-finder and record locator, Luker’s number one job was initiating difficult conversations and navigating tense social encounters. But separating her job from her personal life was difficult. When she started writing the book, it helped her cope with her own past history of drug abuse and sexual violence, and though she was careful to use different names and change specific details of each case, the stories in the book are all completely true and accurate, she says. “When it came out, I thought the attorneys wouldn’t like what I said and they would come sue me, and then the ex-cons would come butcher me,” she says. “Then I realized that was getting in my own mind. I’m not a New York Times bestseller. It was just something I felt like I had to write.” Luker delves into some of the most common, memorable and atrocious cases she worked on. From juvenile cases to capital punishment, she says each chapter was meant to illustrate how diverse they were. When asked about defense investigators who love their jobs, she can only name two people, which explains why she needed some catharsis. “It was really helpful [to write the book],” she says. “It helped me clarify a lot about what my beliefs and feelings were. It was a good escape route from it all.” She wrote Private Eye for the Bad Guy during the last few years of working as a P.I., which is why she was able to document such meticulous details and descriptions of her various clients and interviewees. When she told

’d taken to coming into the Cave after 5:00 p.m. The airless, windowless office annexed a former medical building, and its walls still faintly belched ether and antiseptic. My boss, Stephen, ran his private investigation business out of it and paid rent to the law firm that occupied the rest of the building. The lawyers, in turn, relied on Stephen for their investigative needs. They handled mostly countyappointed criminal cases, those the public defender’s office couldn’t. For a small California beach town, Santa Cruz had a bountiful surplus of crime that kept the public defender and other defense attorneys—and therefore, Stephen—busy. There was too much work for him, but not quite enough for another fulltime investigator. Over the years, I would watch him hire other parttime investigators, brimming with optimism as he created multi-tiered inboxes. Within months, or weeks, the inboxes gathered dust as the new blood discovered they could not survive on what amounted to only ten or twenty hours of work some weeks. I managed because I had to. Jobs for anyone, much less women with my resume, were scarce. I’d never quite managed to put together a career, only a string of disparate jobs during those decades in the workforce. With a private entrance from the parking lot and its own bathroom, our office provided a refuge from the rest of the attorneys and their support staff who fed upon the upper section of the law building’s intestinal tract. But I still needed to invade their territory to use the copy machine or pick up files, and I hated running into the zealously territorial

bookkeepers and secretaries who had assigned themselves to patrol it. My after-hours arrival time neatly eliminated those encounters. I was filling in my timesheet that night when one of the attorneys wandered in to visit. Jeremy liked to chat. His soliloquies could run to the half-hour mark, reveling in complex intricacies of a case or sometimes, when it was a particularly heinous crime, graphic details. But I didn’t get paid for pretending to be social. I sneaked glances at my paperwork while he talked, furtively scribbling tabulations and notes. Jeremy settled his tall figure on the sofa and leaned back, scuffed Adidas stretched out in front of him. Like all attorneys, he kept a collection of business suits, dress shirts, and ties on hand for any courthouse visits. But his everyday outfit of an old T-shirt and baggy sweatpants brought a whole new meaning to “office casual.” “You going to be here all by yourself a couple of weeks?” Jeremy asked, hearing that Stephen had planned a family vacation. “Yup,” I smiled, as stomach acid bubbled at the thought. “Just me.” I knew how to write, research, and interview, which turned out to be 80 percent of my tasks. But six months in this line of work had proved not nearly long enough to understand what I was doing. I don’t mean the job itself—that was to make money to hopefully pay bills—but the elusive logic of these tasks that now made up my working day. From what I could tell, we investigators were encouraged to sidestep a problematic truth, and instead, find evidence to support even the most wild-eyed stories

Rationally, I understood that everyone deserved a fighting chance, especially against an entity as powerful and well equipped as the People of the State of California. But I sometimes felt like a bat flying without radar. The intuition I’d learned to listen to, which warned me when someone was dishing out B.S., served no purpose in this job. I would eventually learn that truth was a

malleable object with prosecutors, law enforcement, our clients, and us. But for now, I was still feeling my way through each week, and the prospect of going it alone without my boss’s guidance unnerved me. Jeremy abruptly switched the topic to an indicted pedophile whose high-profile case was finally coming to trial.

Cabrillo College Congratulates

the right clothes, the jury wouldn’t think Stan was the type of guy who coerced 12-year-olds to do the kind of things news articles always refused to describe. In the first of times too numerous to count, I asked myself how I ended up here. Why was I working to help someone I would have strangled without a moment’s hesitation had he come near my child? I had no answer yet—at least, no honest answer. “Stan’s going to ask you about continuances, legal documents,” Jeremy went on. “Just tell him you know nothing.” When it came to crimes like Stan’s, ignorance used to be bliss. But my job now depended on dissecting graphic details. Eventually, I would need to ask victims to explain what, exactly, was entailed in “oral copulation,” “sodomy with a foreign object,” and other legal definitions that threatened to put my clients behind bars. Did he use one finger or two? Did he hold you down by the shoulders or by the throat? That night was still early in my new career, and since I was only putting together a wardrobe for Stan, I had barely skimmed his file. Unfortunately, I hadn’t figured on any evening chats with Jeremy. “You know what else he did to those girls, right?” Jeremy was dying to unload Stan’s dark deeds on someone. With no end in sight to Jeremy’s monologue, I tried a new tactic. Pushing the calculator aside, I turned and gave him my full attention. Ever since the case had been assigned to me, I had wanted to pose one simple question to the accused pedophile’s lawyer. Now seemed as good a time as any. “So let me ask you,” I said. “How do you justify this? You know he molested those girls. You know he’ll do it again if he gets back on the street. Do you have any moral or ethical qualms?” Jeremy was already shaking his head before I finished. “Not a one. Never. What these people do after the case is over, that’s not my concern.” “The letter of the law? That’s what

He could have worked on the federal level or made many times his present income from corporate clients in Silicon Valley. Instead, he seemed to enjoy handling a perennial caseload of miscreants who managed to repulse even other criminals. Who was this guy? Perhaps if I could unscramble Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logic and moral code, it would help me make sense of what I now did for a living. But it was like pondering hieroglyphics, where only periodically could a familiar symbol be plucked out of the tangled jumble of designs. I would struggle with these questions for the next several years, but that night I shoved the halffinished time sheets aside and told Jeremy it was time to visit Stan.

<30 straight out of Goldie Hawn’s glory days. But that’s part of where the Simon play exposes its mid-20thcentury roots—New York, urban, pre-psychedelics and sexual revolution, a time before enormous change in social customs, gender roles and cultural acceptance. Period pieces can flourish in dramatic form, but comedy lives and dies on its interrogation of the immediate context; the here-andnow world. Simon’s work reflects a culmination of values on the verge of being (largely) overthrown. How men act in a domestic setting without a female housewife is the linchpin of this comedy, and it is one that doesn’t travel into the 21st century without considerable faultlines. The male stereotypes Simon explored have been mashed, if not swallowed. Ditto for females. We can admire the cast’s abilities, but find it harder to gain traction with women as airheads who live to care for men, and men whose immediate goals involve beer, poker, and the aforementioned airheads. Felix, as written by Simon, isn’t gay, he’s simply an insufferable perfectionist. It’s a hard character to play today with complete conviction. Pro tip: if the contemporary dramatic sitcom by Kate Hawley hadn’t just been seen on the same stage, it might have been easier to surrender to the Neil Simon scenario. Hawley’s Coming of Age was fresh, surprising and relevant. The Simon play has some enormous laughs, and some wise sparkling lines. But its moral assumptions make it a stretch for today’s audience. Still, anyone who did see Coming of Age will definitely want to see Odd Couple. The juxtaposition of the two plays will provide ample fuel for discussion— which is exactly what vibrant theater should do. THE ODD COUPLE by Neil Simon will be performed at the Tannery Arts Center’s Colligan Theater through May 27. A matinee show has been added on May 19. jeweltheatre.net.

sitting around a poker table. The cigars, late-night poker games and rotary telephones aren’t the only indications that we’ve been plunged into a whole other zeitgeist. Felix Unger (played with cringeworthy fussiness by Shaun Carroll) has just been kicked out by his wife. When he arrives at Oscar’s apartment late for the card game, he’s an emotional mess. Well, nobody wants to play cards anymore, so the others leave and Oscar invites his friend to move in with him. The opening act of Odd Couple is a comic delight, loaded with slick dialogue glistening with men-ingroups repartee and the growing tension between a slob and an OCD perfectionist. In the second act, we meet two young women Oscar has invited to dinner, a pair of English sisters who live in an upstairs apartment. Felix has knocked himself out cooking, setting an impeccable table, but things start to go wrong. He breaks down and begins to relive the pain of his failed marriage. Without revealing too much, let’s just say that the women are sympathetic. Oscar explodes and kicks Felix out. Of course, things are resolved in the end, but not before Oscar (played with Ralph Kramden ferocity by David Ledingham) has chewed and swallowed most of the scenery out of his love/hate frustration with the irritating Felix. A special shout-out to the poker players—Jesse Caldwell as the no-nonsense Roy, a tightly wound Scott Coopwood as Speed, Andrew Davis as Vinnie, and Geoff Fiorito as Murray the cop—a close knit ensemble of professionals showcasing just how good live theater can be. The heavy lifting in this production falls to Ledingham, whose looks channel James Garner more than shaggy Walter Matthau. His zest and timing move everything along with sparkle. The English gals are priceless as sketched by April Green and Erika Schindele—their ditzy blonde giggling and leggy antics (great shoes by B. Modern) are

Santa Cruz expats Harrison Murphy and Randy Schwartz get way, way out there in El Duo BY AARON CARNES

arrison Murphy was jealous of his friend Randy Schwartz. As both of them were longtime drummers, he couldn’t help but feel envious that Schwartz got to study rhythms and techniques with UCSC’s George Marsh, a man who refers to his own cutting-edge style as “Tai Chi for the drum set.” “He was a very far-out guy,” says Murphy. “A very unique teacher who presented musical improvisation in a very different way, and I think that’s a big reason why I wanted to know what it was, because it was so different from everything else that I’d studied.”

So they made a deal: Schwartz would teach Murphy everything he had learned from Marsh, and Murphy would teach Schwartz everything he knew about another instrument he played, keyboards. The arrangement started their partnership, but what came out of it turned out to be very different. “That literally never happened,” says Murphy of their initial plan. “We just got together and started a band.” That band is El Duo, and though the pair met in Santa Cruz, where they attended college, they now live in Oakland. Murphy still plays

drums in the Santa Cruz band Harry and the Hitmen. While Schwartz and Murphy may have not formally taught each other musical techniques, they share an unusual approach to rhythm that was a perfect foundation on which to build El Duo. There are a lot of global influences in the beats, including traditional African and Indian music, and American jazz. It’s mixed with old drum machines and modern electronic loops. “We’ve both been really drawn to rhythmic music coming from places around the world,” Murphy says. “That desire for those types of

sounds and grooves, we were both already interested in that.” The resulting sound is pretty out there. There’s a seamless psychedelic blend of acoustic instruments and computers that is equal parts danceable and heady, and it inspires wildly varying audience reactions. “Sometimes there’s five people and we still get them dancing, sometimes there’s more and everybody’s sitting down. It’s hard to know,” Murphy says. “We can do the background thing really well, where people are having dinner and we just kind of play quietly and have it be interesting weird music in the background. Then we also can throw an all-out dance party where we crank everything up.” The live set is made that much more unique by their two-piece set up, which involves real instruments as well as triggers that kick off loops. The two of them improvise quite a bit, and give each set its own unique vibe. “We have certain things that are programmed in the drum machine, and those things aren’t going to change, but the way that Randy uses them is going to change,” Murphy says. “The way we respond to each other and the crowd, it’s always a little bit different—80 to 90 percent of it is really loose and we have some things that build up and then we play the main melody and it breaks off with solos, and we see what happens.” The group recorded its first EP, El Key, in 2016 with a recording studio class in Emeryville. They improvised a bit during the process, and then cut, edited and re-recorded more material on their own to create that record. The band is releasing its new EP Mono Y Mono at this coming Crepe Place show. They will be selling vinyl records at the show, and sometime later will have it online. “I think we feel a little bit better about it because we really did all of it ourselves,” Murphy says. “We didn’t go to a studio. We actually did figure out how the songs were going to go ahead of time, then piece it all together and then record a bunch of stuff over it once we got the framework going.” El Duo performs on Thursday, May 17 at 9 p.m. at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 429-6994.

Everyone has had weird neighbors at some point. Chances are you probably came up with some odd conspiracy narrative about what their lives are like behind closed doors. But what if your neighbors were really a reflection of you?

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SOUND REASONING

It was a special time for local Calireggae band Sound Reasoning as they prepared their debut album Have You Heard earlier this year. The core members have been playing together in some form or another since the ’90s, and officially played their first show in 2005. The group took a hiatus some years back, and reformed in 2013 specifically with the intention of releasing a record—which they finally did this month.

MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We had done recording and we have done some EPs, but we hadn’t done a full-length album. It just seemed like it was time to finally get around to it. We definitely felt a need to do an album,” says trumpet player Tonya Silvestri.

The three core members—Silvestri, Todd George and Sol-I NewTree— started playing together in 1996 when Silvestri and NewTree moved to Santa Cruz and met George during an open mic at Java Bob’s in Ben Lomond. After meeting at the open mic, NewTree and George started jamming together, both on guitar, and then George switched to bass as they arranged NewTree’s songs to be performed by a full band, with Silvestri contributing horn parts. For the album, they had to narrow down songs from their vast catalogue. “We’re planning for our second one,” says Silvestri. “We still have another batch of songs in the bag ready to go,”.

WEDNESDAY 5/16 GOTH-ROCK

POPTONE Have you ever found yourself complaining that no one starts any good goth bands anymore? Well, then, my friend, you haven’t yet heard of Poptone, a band formed last year by Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins, who hail from Love and Rockets, Bauhaus, the Bubblemen and Tones on Tail. Much of the starter material is pulled from Ash and Haskins’ catalog, but updated for 2018. The band releases its debut record this June, and based off its samples, it’s literally everything goths ever wanted in their life but were too shy to ask for. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $24.50/adv, $30/door. 429-4135.

ANIMAL YEARS

INFO: 8 p.m. Friday, May 18. Michael’s on Main, South Main St., Soquel. $10/ adv, $12/door. 479-9777.

Fist-pumping folk-rock is a well-established genre by now, and Brooklyn trio Animal Years has mastered the sound. There is an urgency and

energy to their Lumineers-esque folk arena rock that will immediately get under your skin and make you run toward the nearest mountain. The band members think of their band name as a challenge: “Live your life in animal years,” they wrote in their bio—that is, live as though you have a short life span. They’ve turned these words into action by making quick strides in their career and playing folk as though it was the closing song in the credits of a Michael Bay action film. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 5/17 ROOTS

CROOKED JADES Described by the Boston Herald as the “finest string band in America,” the Crooked Jades have been a favorite of underground roots fans for years. Now, much to the delight of longtime followers, the band has released Empathy Moves the Water, its first album of original material in over a decade. Led by one-time

Santa Cruzan Jeff Kazor, the Jades blend high lonesome styles, pre-war gospel leanings, haunting instrumentation, and soulful vocals. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.

FRIDAY 5/18 HAWAIIAN

TAIMANE Virtuoso ukulele player and composer Taimane first picked up the uke at the age of 5. Later honing her chops performing on the streets of Waikiki, she caught the attention of legendary Hawaiian vocalist Don Ho, and was invited to be on his show. These days, Taimane—whose name means “diamond” in Samoan—is a bonafide shredder whose range stretches from Led Zeppelin and Bach to island favorites and awe-inspiring original compositions that balance the delicate beauty and fiery power of the South Pacific.

A definitive force on the Bay Area jazz scene for two decades, Berkeley drummer Scott Amendola turns his mano-a-mano duo with Hammond B-3 expert Wil Blades into an all-out fracas, adding the unpredictable guitarist Jeff Parker and infinitely resourceful Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista into the fray. In an embarrassment of riches, the program also features the West Coast premiere of Santa Cruz-raised pianist/ composer Pascal Le Boeuf’s Chamber Music America-commissioned “Ritual Being.” A nine-piece suite melding of jazz and European classical music, the extended work features San Francisco’s Friction String Quartet and LeBoeuf’s quintet with his twin brother Remy Le Boeuf on alto saxophone, tenor saxophonist Greg Johnson, bassist Giulio Xavier Cetto, and drummer Malachi Whitson.

SATURDAY 5/19 WESTERN SWING

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL Asleep at the Wheel was formed in 1970 and has more than 20 albums, 20 singles on the Billboard chart, and 10 Grammy awards. Now some 48 years into the band’s career, listening to their songs is like taking a trip in a time machine to the ’70s when Southern roots was melding with the folk and singer-songwriter movement. There are a lot of classic country songs here that will resonate with modern audience— you’ve probably heard a lot of young bands trying to emulate this sound, because it’s just so damn good.

For two decades, Against Me has been at the forefront of punk. Not only with their mix of folk punk and electrified rock, but also with singer Laura Jane Grace’s 2012 coming out as a transgender woman, giving an icon to a new generation of punks who feel misplaced. Never ones to stagnate, their latest album, 2016’s Shape Shift With Me, features a change in Against Me’s style, particularly with Grace’s singing style having a more spoken-word/slam poetry rhyme.

FILM

REAL LIFE SUPERHERO Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—the second of just four women to serve on the male-dominated Supreme Court (113 men have served)—in the documentary ‘RBG.’

Citizen Ruth MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Ruth Bader Ginsburg seeks justice for all in ‘RBG’

orget The Avengers Infinity War. Here’s a movie that’s really worth cheering about, entering the marketplace with the same quiet, unassuming, yet determined demeanor as its subject—legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As cunning as Loki, as grounded as Black Panther, she wields her opinion with the impact and precision of Thor’s hammer, and achieves actual change, fighting for gender equality under the law as she has for five decades of groundbaking decisions. And nary a special effect in sight—unless you count her incredible stamina to keep fighting the good fight at age 84.

According to Gloria Steinem, Ginsburg is “the closest thing to a superhero I know.” An opinion shared by many in this smart, sly and heartfelt documentary, RBG, by directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West. The title references the recent biographical book, Notorious RBG (inspired by the moniker of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.), a nod to the younger generations of fans who have discovered RBG on social media and weren’t even alive when she was fighting for things like equal pay and equal social security benefits in the workplace. “Whenever she writes a dissent,” notes one of the younger observers in the film, “the internet explodes!”

BY LISA JENSEN

It’s sad that in these troubled political times, the actions that have recently made RBG such an unexpected social media icon are the clear and vigorous dissenting opinions she’s written in opposition to recent Supreme Court rulings. The Court has been shifting gradually to the right since RBG (nominated by Bill Clinton) was confirmed in 1993. In the current so-called administration, RBG is one of the few voices of sanity left on the bench. But what a lot of people don’t know about RBG (particularly her younger fans) is the hard work and determination with which she chose a legal career, and how the obstacles she faced shaped her views on society

and the law. This is the story told most persuasively by filmmakers Cohen and West. Studying law at Cornell University in 1957, RBG was one of nine women in a class of 500 men. (At a tea for those women, the dean asked “what they were doing taking a seat that should belong to a man.”) Unable to get hired by a law firm, she got a teaching job at Rutgers, offering a course on women and the law, just as the Women’s Rights movement was becoming a thing. At this time, the early ’70s, she became a litigator, arguing gender-equality cases before the Supreme Court (winning five out of the six cases she brought). Selective in her choices, as one colleague notes, RBG “took cases that would make good laws.” Her mantra formed over this period was the conviction that “Gender-biased discrimination hurts everybody.” The movie is also the appealing love story of Ruth and her husband of 57 years, Marty Ginsburg. “Marty was the first boy I ever knew who cared I had a brain,” Ruth recalls fondly. Big, bluff, and garrulous, always cracking jokes, while Ruth was small and quiet-spoken, Marty also became a practicing lawyer (they met in law school). But, wholly supportive of Ruth’s abilities, he took over much of the child-rearing and housekeeping so his wife could stay up until 4 a.m. working on her cases. (And still be in court by 9 a.m.) As their son and daughter laughingly recall, “Daddy did the cooking, and Mom did the thinking.” The fruits of that thinking are also sprinkled throughout the movie, much of it in tasty footage from her 1993 confirmation hearing. Her hopes for the future of the High Court? “More women and different complexions.” Asked what the “ideal number of female judges on the Supreme Court” should be, she deadpans, “Nine.” And while she says, as a litigator, she felt like a kindergarten teacher educating the white, male Justices on gender politics, her message as explained in this movie is extremely clear and simple: “Equal protection for every person under the law.” Period. RBG ***1/2 (out of four) With Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Directed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West. A Magnolia release. Rated PG. 98 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

MAY 16-22, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BOOK CLUB Man, I was really hoping we were done with anything having to do with Fifty Shades of Grey. But while the trilogy itself may be mercifully over, we’re still getting blowback like this comedy about a group of older women who read the book and try to spice up their sex lives. Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda and Candice Bergen are all in this movie, by the way. Maybe it’s only fair as sort of a counterpart (or counterpoint) to the films that male actors like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau made late in their careers. Grumpy Old Men, meet Horny Old Women. Co-starring Mary Steenburgen, Don Johnson, Richard Dreyfuss and Craig T. Nelson. Directed by Bill Holderman. (PG-13) (SP)

DEADPOOL 2 If you don’t believe that this Deadpool series is genuinely weirding up Hollywood, take a minute to watch the trailer for this film in which Ryan Reynolds, in full Deadpool costume, plays cult painting icon Bob Ross. No, what I just wrote didn’t make sense, but it happened—which is also the story of Deadpool’s success. The movie was hilarious and ridiculous in all the right ways, and this sequel ups the ante. If you think comic book movies are too cookie cutter, this is the movie for you. Directed by David Leitch. Co-starring Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin and Leslie Uggams. (R) 119 minutes. (SP) DISOBEDIENCE Rachel Weisz plays a woman who returns to the Orthodox Jewish community that rejected her because of her attraction to a childhood female friend. Reconnecting with her former crush (played by Rachel McAdams) reignites the spark. Directed by Sebastian Lelio. Costarring Alessandro Nivola and Anton Lesser. (R) 114 minutes. (SP) LET THE SUNSHINE IN Juliette Binoche goes around saying funny Juliette Binoche things, being Juliette-Binoche-level awesome and looking for love in exactly the way you’d expect Juliette Binoche

to do in this romantic comedy from French writer-director Claire Denis. Co-starring Xavier Beauvois and Philippe Katerine. 94 minutes. (SP) POPE FRANCIS: A MAN OF HIS WORD Acclaimed director Wim Wenders was given full access to the pope for two years as he filmed this documentary. That’s pretty cool, but don’t you kind of wish it had been Werner Herzog? Forget two years, how long do you think Pope Francis could have taken Herzog following him saying things like, “Your faith in a supreme being is understandable as a meaningless attempt to bring order to a cruelly indifferent universe?” I’d say two hours. On the other hand, “the cool pope” would have given Herzog a hug, and he needs that. (NR) 96 minutes. (SP) 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 AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR This MCU blockbuster is all over the map, from deep space to Wakanda to the U.K. Yet despite the shifts of scene, the dozen-and- a-half lead characters, and changes of mood from comic to lethal—from colossal fight scenes to the Avengers’ usual battlefield backchat—the film is solidly entertaining and surprising. The flavors of this multi-movie sundae blend beautifully. And there isn’t that sense of the ride coming to an end as soon as the big final fight commences. Directors the Russo brothers seemingly always have something to cut to—some new angle on this mad multiverse fight as big bad Thanos tries to gather essential jewels for the gauntlet he needs to complete his omnipotence. It is the first half of a two-parter—always a bringdown. The movie has infinity in the title, but there’s a sense of

limits coming up. Given the roster of entertainments to come, we may be facing in 2018 what 1968 was to spy movies: a complete saturation, structures so big that they can’t be topped.Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. (PG13) 139 minutes. (SP) BAD SAMARITAN Undoubtedly the title for this movie was produced by the shortest Hollywood meeting ever. Studio exec No. 1: “OK, so we need a title for this movie where two guys go to rob a house, but it turns out this woman is being held captive there, and they try to help her.” Studio exec No. 2: “Ooh, so it’s like a Good Samaritan, except bad?” Studio exec No. 1: “Meeting adjourned!” Directed by Dean Devlin. Starring David Tennant, Robert Sheehan and Kerry Condon. (R) (SP) 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) BREAKING IN Remember when Gabrielle Union was in high school movies like Bring It On and 10 Things I Hate About You? Well, she’s playing moms now—that’s right, she’s old, and so are you. At least she’s playing badass moms, though, like in this thriller where she has to protect her children from a home invasion. (PG-13) 88 minutes. (SP) I FEEL PRETTY Amy Schumer is one of those comedians who a lot of people complain about,

but secretly know is awesome. In this comedy, she secretly knows she’s awesome, after a head injury makes her think she looks like a supermodel. Will she learn to accept herself as beautiful even when she recovers? Chances are good! Directed by Abbey Kohn and Mark Silverstein. Co-starring Michelle Williams, Busy Philips, and Emily Ratajkowski. (PG-13) (SP) ISLE OF DOGS You don’t even have to consider yourself a “dog person” to get a kick out of this cheerworthy tale from Wes Anderson in which political chicanery is thwarted by one plucky boy and a pack of domesticated canines, unfairly exiled to an offshore garbage dump, who rally round to help him search for his lost pet. The near-future Japan setting, a vivid soundtrack of Taiko drumming and Kurosawa samurai themes, and an impressive all-star voice cast make this a howling delight. Directed by Anderson. Featuring the voices of Bryan Cranston, Bill Murphy, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum and Tilda Swinton. (PG-13) 101 minutes. (LJ) LIFE OF THE PARTY If you ever wondered what the 1986 cult comedy Back to School would be like if Melissa McCarthy starred in it instead of Rodney Dangerfield— and really, which of us hasn’t?— here’s the answer. McCarthy plays DeAnna, who decides to go back to college with her daughter. At first, of course, she’s a huge embarrassment to said daughter, but eventually she starts doing Melissa McCarthy things, wins everybody over and ends up with the nickname “Dee Rock.” Directed by Ben Falcone. Co-starring Maya Rudolph, Gillian Jacobs and Julie Bowen. (PG-13) 105 minutes. (SP) OVERBOARD Just last week, I was thinking, “You know what I wish they would remake? The forgotten 1987 Kurt RussellGoldie Hawn romantic comedy Overboard. Except switch it so the wealthy guy gets amnesia after he falls overboard, and then the woman convinces him they’re married.” And what do you know, here it is, starring Anna Faris and

Eugenio Derbez! By the way, I’m obviously kidding about having wished for this remake last week. It was two weeks ago. Directed by Rob Greenberg. Co-starring Eva Longoria and John Hannah. (PG13) 112 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) RACER AND THE JAILBIRD A racing car driver (racer) and a gangster (the jailbird) fall in love while involved with a brutal crime gang in Brussels in this French film. Directed by Michael R Rosskam. Starring Matthias Schoenaerts and Adèle Exarchopoulos. (R) 130 minutes. (SP) RBG Reviewed this issue. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) THE RIDER Shot in the badlands of South Dakota, this drama from Chinese-born writer-director Chloe Zao is winning praise for its authentic treatment of a story about a young rodeo rider who is thrown from his horse and suffers a crippling injury. (R) 104 minutes. (SP) SUPER TROOPERS 2 It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! It’s time to gather up your stoner friends, grab a container of maple syrup, and head to the sequel to meow one of the greatest cult movies of our young century. The Broken Lizard troupe returns to their roles as the meow pride of the Spurbury Police Department—except that this time around, they’ve been fired. Which is about the only narrative element of Super Troopers that seems realistic thus far. Meow! Somehow, they get pulled into a U.S.-Canada border dispute, and … well, it’s gonna be a hell of a mustache ride. Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar. Starring Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Rob Lowe and Brian Cox. (R) (SP)

FOOD & DRINK ‘statements,’” he says of his San Juan Bautista estate varietals. Grahm admits his interest in the new product is motivated by fun and profit. “I truly love pink wine, and have developed a bit of an understanding over the years of the category. Secondarily, I love wine with bubbles,” he says. We found the bubbles to be fleeting, so one needs to enjoy this wine quickly … or treat it as a pink wine with an opening salvo of bubbles. “As far as cans,” he says, “no deep ideological commitment there, but after deep reflection, it did appear that for this product, cans made a lot more sense than bottles.” Grahm promises future canned pink fizzies made from new varieties including Cinsault, Grenache Gris, and a rare French Provençal grape called Tibouren that he’s planted especially for his pink wines. Wanting to reach out to a millennial clientele, Grahm feels that cans will be a friendlier delivery system for his winemaking vision. The proof is in the can.

Doon Diversions

Randall Grahm makes foray into cans, Staff of Life turns 49, and Route 1 Farm Dinner BY CHRISTINA WATERS

n a can! That’s right. Bonny Doon Vineyard winemaker Randall Grahm has expanded his explosive imagination to include putting pink fizzy wine in a can. The canned Fizzy Pink Wine of the Earth 2017 is now available in the Davenport tasting room, and as tasting room manager Tulsi Schneider explained, the winery will soon be making the four-packs ($32) and flats of 24 cans available to the world at large. As you’d expect, the black can with a pink bull moose on the label (lots of fun fine print helps explain this playful marketing),

is quintessential Grahm. Light alcohol, and a deft blend of Rhône grapes—long on Grenache—make this very pretty blush wine a refreshing tipple indeed. We found it to be irresistible. “The perfect summer party wine,” my companion pronounced. We envisioned pool parties where cans of this 2017 vintage of lovely, very light frizzante wine could be packed into iced coolers right next to other beverages in cans. Fresh, with no cloying finish, the new pink-in-acan offers a bright nose of fraises du bois, minerals and fresh-picked

leaves. Very picnic. Very much the thinking woman’s Mateus, the newest BDV offering would be brilliant with ham sandwiches, bbq ribs, even burgers and hot dogs. Think of it. No glass to worry about, hence perfect for around the pool. And for Memorial Day weekend! “This initiative may well backfire,” Grahm says. “Do I care? Yes, absolutely, but I’m not too worried. I think that the serious wines of Popelouchum will operate in their own unique universe populated by wine lovers who are less concerned about image and

Doing it the natural way for almost half a century, the forward-thinking folks of Staff of Life invite the entire community to come on down to a free celebration on Sunday, May 20 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.. “Our anniversary party is one way we show our appreciation to the community for supporting our local business since 1969,” said Richard Josephson, co-owner of the pioneer natural foods emporium. On this special day, plan on enjoying live music and dancing to Harry and the Hitmen, raffle prizes, free samples, wine and beer tasting, cosmetic makeovers and—because this is Santa Cruz—face painting for kids of all ages. Trust me, you’ll have a lot of fun. Staff of Life, 1266 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz.

End of Day’s? As Day’s Market changes hands, an ode to Wow Wow Tuna BY LILY STOICHEFF

I brought a lunch from home to work, I nonetheless found myself standing in line on my break holding the sandwich and a bag of Zapp’s Voodoo potato chips. The couple in front of me at the register looked like they had seen better times as they dug wadded bills and coins from their pockets to pay for their groceries. As they finished, the woman sent her companion back to grab one more forgotten thing. When he returned, he tossed a tuna sandwich on the counter. In my car with the windows rolled down on the cliff over Seabright Beach, I assessed my humble lunch. As I ate, my mind wandered, thinking of all of the places that I used to go in Santa Cruz that aren’t there anymore, iced mochas with fresh whipped cream on the porch of Cafe Pergolesi, aimless afternoons spent reading cookbooks in Logos. To my pleasant surprise, the sandwich was perfect. Fresh, crunchy and not at all soggy. It’s the ideal meal for the busy, the broke and the beach-going, an artifact of changing times in Santa Cruz, a meal worth experiencing before it’s gone.

he Wow Wow Tuna sandwich is a Santa Cruz cult favorite. Built on two fluffy slices of conventional whole wheat or white bread, the kind that’s so soft that it sticks to your teeth, its generous scoop of tuna salad blends canned tuna, mayo, diced red onion, celery and sweet pickle relish. Iceberg lettuce and a slice of white or yellow American cheese protects the delicate bread from getting soggy as the plastic-wrapped sandwich waits, in an open cooler in the back corner of Seabright’s Day’s Market Liquors & Deli, to be picked up by some hungry soul for $2.69. Below it is a sign that reads: “Wow Wow Tuna / Since 1985.” I had eaten my first Wow Wow the week before, after receiving a cryptic text message from a friend: “Hot Tip: Day’s Market has been sold and there will no longer be tuna wow-wow sandwiches. The end of an era is nigh.” I had never heard of the sandwich, but was surprised to hear that Day’s Market was changing hands. Within a few days, I was back for my second Wow Wow. I woke up craving it, and even though

ntering the grounds of Mesa Del Sol Winery is like stepping into timeless harmony. Lush vines grow prolifically over 14 acres, where row upon row of Sangiovese, Syrah and Zinfandel grapes ripen in the warm climate down Arroyo Seco Road in Greenfield. Ann Hougham is the owner of this bucolic spot, where gentle zephyrs whisper through the canyon, and the gurgling Arroyo Seco River runs below. Peace and quiet reign on this beautiful property. Our stay on this idyllic piece of land was to try Hougham’s gorgeous wines over lunch and dinner, and to experience the property and see the estate-grown vines for ourselves. Vineyards here are bright green and healthy, due to an annual dose of special compost from “organic matter.” The 2012 Sangiovese ($32) has a complex structure with overtones of dark cherry and pomegranate on the palate and a spicy finish. As a main ingredient in Chianti, the purple-colored Sangiovese can be dry or semi-sweet. It’s a versatile Italian varietal that pairs well

with many kinds of food, including Italian (of course!). Mesa Del Sol wines have garnered many accolades, most notably when the 2002 Hunter Hill Syrah (Mesa Del Sol vineyards) took Best in Show at the 2005 California State Fair Wine Competition—out of 2,800 submitted wines. Hougham’s property does not have a tasting room. Her estate is simply a beautiful retreat—a place to unwind, take a swim in the pool or soak in the Jacuzzi. As we walk around the grounds in the early morning, we see a green heron fly off from the trout pond as we head to gather newly laid eggs for breakfast. I discovered Mesa Del Sol wines at a winemaker’s dinner I attended at Artemis—a lively restaurant in Carmel serving Mediterraneaninfluenced cuisine. Hougham’s wines served that evening were impressive, including the Sangiovese and the Prima Rosso, a zesty blend of estate-grown fruit.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES URANUS ENTERS TAURUS—NEW VALUES Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 16, 2018

Tuesday of this week, at the Taurus new moon, Uranus, planet of change, revolution and revelations, left Aries (self-identity) and entered Taurus (values, resources and the Art of Living). Uranus changing signs is very important; the entire tenor of our world changes. Rhythms, vibrations, tones, rays, thoughts, ideas, and the past all change. We enter into the new Art of Living. With Uranus in Aries for seven years, we have been searching for our true identity. Now, as Uranus enters Taurus, we will anchor that new state of self-identity along with new values (Taurus). Taurus takes the initiating ideas of Aries, and anchors them in practical and useful (Taurus is an Earth sign) ways. With Uranus entering Taurus, everyone shifts into a new state of reality, new rhythms and revelations. The archetypes shift.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 You will feel more impulsive than usual; more fiery, intelligent, and more and more you will seek freedom of expression and freedom from the past which feels imprisoning to you. Daily chants and the repeating of Om … their sounds will break up any obstructions hindering you from moving swiftly forward. New patterns come forth. New self-identity and a new look, too!

TAURUS Apr21–May21 A new set of values comes forth, awakening you to areas of life never realized or seen before. Old attitudes from the past simply fall away. Taurus is a most material sign, a good thing at first. But there is the new “spiritual materialism” manifesting. Where all that we say, do and have are offered for humanity’s well-being. New income based upon spiritual endeavors appears. You are to be future-oriented, inventive and progressive.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 New ideas, concepts, thoughts, realities, and studies will appear. Often Geminis are bored with the usual ho hum thinking. With Uranus entering Taurus, new worlds of ideas open up. You will need courage to recognize, integrate and use them in daily life. At first you feel disoriented. But not for long. Gemini adapts to this and that easily. A new self-expression comes forth. Are you studying your astrology? Uranus rules it!

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You will express yourself in unusual and creative ways. A new level of creativity is awakening. Nothing will be like before. Everything will feel out of the ordinary. Relationships with children and lovers and your relationship to creativity will be surprising. Inhibitions fall away. And a greater understanding of others comes forth. You will feel playful, spontaneous. Be more eccentric. It’s more interesting.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You will shake yourself free from daily routines and expected behaviors. Your life takes on a new and fresh perspective. Changes in daily life will create disruptions and you adapt to them easily. You may feel restless, out of rhythm. That’s because Uranus is bringing in new rhythms and new archetypes. Allow yourself to perform unconventional tasks. Be inventive. Take up tai chi, yoga and chanting.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Be as reliable a partner as you can be. When Uranus

enters Taurus, you find relationships that have become tired and worn out will fall away. You begin to look at relationships differently. Do not allow feelings of limitation or rebelliousness to interfere with loving others. You want to break free from all restrictions. Both love and freedom can exist side by side. Be gentle, be kind and forgive always. These create the freedoms you seek.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Tend to finances and resources very carefully. Don’t skip over any details, especially with finances and resources shared with another. Tend to all taxes, loans, bills, etc. on time and with care. When these are completed you are free to pursue other interests. Deep unconscious waters (desires, feelings, the past, etc.) come to the surface, press upward, gather force and crash out into one’s daily life. You handle this with pose. Be honest. Joy follows.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Uranus in Taurus brings the practical knowledge of our origins to the surface so that we can know the truth of our adventures here on Earth. Some of us will recapture ancient theologies. Some will question all assumptions. Some will know that the unfoldment of the Soul is what gives direction. Some of us will travel to parts unknown and travel with the ancients. Everything will be bright, brilliant, abrupt, progressive, and unexpected!

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Career changes come as a surprise. Unusual offers, too. Everything that defines a Capricorn in the world seems to shape shift. Caps love tradition. But Uranus lets tradition fall to the wayside so a new future can come forth. Look at what is occurring in Hawaii with the volcanoes. Earth’s inner fires burning the crust of the Earth. This “burning” of the past has evolutionary purpose, allowing you to come forth in the world with both greater brilliance and higher purpose.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Friends and social acquaintances grow in surprising ways. You meet new people; unusual circumstances occur in groups. You might join a spiritual group of like-minded people. You always need freedom, nothing limiting you. Aquarians are unique, inventive and surprising. One day everything changes. What we thought we wanted isn’t there anymore. Something new takes its place. We are happier.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 All of the past—habits, behaviors, things that hurt and traumatized us, all that we did to others unconsciously— these come to light and we approach them tentatively, at first. Then we stand at their very center and we change the outcomes. We visualize the right ways, the ways that promote Goodwill and forgiveness. Then all of the elements that hurt us and others simply disappear into a cloud of safety and goodness. This occurs slowly yet surely, with precision and purity.

Everything you held onto as stability shifts into a state of change. Daily life may feel disrupted; things, events, people, even your thinking may feel erratic. Plans will change. You will need to call upon great patience to sustain yourself. Know that new approaches now must be incorporated so that you once again feel in control. The Tibetan teacher tells us to “adapt to all that occurs.” Adaptation frees us.

From Aries’ questions of selfidentity, to Taurus asking us, “What is of value; am I of value; what do I value? From self-identity to self-value. Uranus awakens us. Wherever Taurus is located in our astrology charts, that area of life will be roused, stirred, interrupted, disrupted, unsettled, shifted, changed, enlightened and illuminated. Surprisingly and quickly! This is how Uranus works. Taurus transforms and uplifts all that it contacts; producing within us an inner Light through the actions of Ray 4—out of conflict, struggle and discord, a new state of coherence and Harmony emerges. We move from darkness to Light, the unreal to the real, from chaos to Beauty—the new archetypes for the next seven years.

Occupation: Co-owner Village Yoga/yoga instructor Hobbies: Dancing, ukulele, hiking, nature, cooking Astrological Sign: Scorpio Who or what first got you shopping here? I had moved to the neighborhood and learned that all my neighbors shopped at Shopper’s Corner. I checked it out because I thought I might be missing out on something good. I ended up loving the small-town feeling of Shopper’s, and I liked the size. Ever since it’s been my go-to store for all my groceries: raw milk, bread, organic produce, great wines, and more. I love the butcher shop’s grass-fed beef, Mary’s chicken, and their salmon. Shopper’s is like the “Cheers” of grocery stores; people come from all over the community. It’s an amazing gathering place.

What do you like to cook? Currently, I’m really into making dhal, and I make my own chicken and mineral broths. I made the broth — called “magic mineral broth” — every week for six months for a friend who fought — and won! — a battle with cancer. I have two teenage sons, and I make homemade pizza quite often using Bob’s Red Mill flour for the dough, and I use their recipe to make the “perfect pizza crust.” I also make the best mac and cheese where I combine all the ingredients and then broil it. We also do burritos, tacos, plus soups and salads. Shopping at Shopper’s is always fun!

How so? Shopper’s is intimate, and you’re kind of forced to talk to people. And being local— I’m a local business person — I believe strongly in supporting local businesses. With its onsite ownership, there’s a strong positive presence, a good-vibe energy, that you don’t find elsewhere. Shopper’s caters to what the community wants and provides high-quality products which are not expensive. They do an amazing job — they’re smart! Shopper’s is convenient — that’s important! — because of its parking and quick checkouts with baggers. That’s part of living healthy… lessening your stress, right?
