OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE To me, Frisbee is a basic part of being from California. You grow up here, you learn to fling a plastic disc at your family and friends—it’s that simple. My dad has been into Frisbee since it first started getting big in SoCal in the mid-’60s, and I’ve been playing it with him from as far back as I can remember. Now I’m passing the tradition on to my 8-year-old daughter, who’s already hitting the sand for diving catches on Seabright Beach.

Re: “High Way Patrol” (GT, 8/1): I appreciate the opportunity to comment and correct an aspect of the recent and important article about driving under the influence of cannabis. I agree, of course, that any kind of impairment while driving a vehicle that causes a person to drive without sufficient care and caution is to be avoided and stopped by law enforcement. The article’s author wrongly stated that “Rice … doesn’t think law enforcement should test for THC.” What I was saying is that a THC result alone is not enough to convict someone. I have represented hundreds of people who were impaired or thought to be impaired by alcohol, cannabis, and virtually every other known drug. I absolutely believe that law enforcement should use all lawful tools available to determine whether someone is unsafe to drive. Whereas there are hundreds of studies that show virtually everyone is unsafe to drive at a .08 blood alcohol level, there is no comparable agreement that any particular amount of THC in a person necessarily means the person is an unsafe driver. The amount of THC in a person does contribute to that analysis, but alone is not enough. Other potential evidence has to include things like the officer’s observations of the driver, the results of the driver’s field sobriety tests, and the timing and frequency of the driver’s use of cannabis.
But despite knowing Santa Cruz was pretty much the center of the disc golf universe, I was always kind of intimidated by it. Mostly, I suppose, I didn’t know where to start. If you’re like me, I guarantee that Hugh McCormick’s guide to disc golf in this week’s Health and Fitness issue will transform your understanding of the sport. It’s definitely the most thorough look at disc golf I’ve ever read, and will hopefully be not only enlightening for newbies, but also useful for disc golf devotees. Lauren Hepler also takes a look in this issue at our ever-evolving understanding of how CBD can be used to treat specific diseases. Here’s to your health! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
As exemplified by the driver in the story who crashed and killed their friend, using cannabis with other drugs, especially alcohol, is dangerous. Alone, cannabis has been shown to be significantly less dangerous than alcohol and many other “recreational” or prescription drugs. BEN RICE | SANTA CRUZ
We wrongly characterized Rice’s position, and regret the error. — Editor
HERE’S TO #NOAMAZONAUGUST Bravo to Boulder Creek’s Jim Balkanloo! #NoAmazonAugust is an idea that is a long time coming and hopefully will gain some traction not only in Santa Cruz, but everywhere. I have been coming to Santa Cruz all of my life. I love its quirky character and ability to maintain its integrity during changing times. Because Santa Cruz people care. It is one of the few places left anywhere that hasn’t sold its soul to corporate greed. I am from Santa Barbara, a once cool, laid back beach town like here. Over the years, I have sadly watched greed take over. Skyrocketing rents forcing local businesses and families out. It has become another suburb of L.A. Our once-charming Main Street is full of chain stores and a Starbucks on every corner. Please Santa Cruz, learn from this tragic lesson. Put your phones down, walk out into this beautiful place you live >8

WASTE NOT WATER
AYE AYE, CAPTAIN
The Soquel Creek Water District has secured $150,000 in federal funding for its Pure Water Soquel project to recharges its groundwater and rest wells with recycled wastewater. Meanwhile, UCSC’s Andrew Fischer has made significant findings in his studies of recharge in Pajaro Valley, with a study accepted into Water Research exploring how to remove harmful nitrates that can accumulate in runoff. His team showed that simply adding a layer of wood chips to the infiltration area can remove the nitrates from water by stimulating microbial activity in the underlying soil.
O’Neill Sea Odyssey’s Dan Haifley is preparing to sail off into the sunset—figuratively speaking anyway—as he prepares to retire from the educational nonprofit at the end of the year. The Sea Odyssey, which takes underprivileged kids on field trips aboard its catamaran, has tapped Cyndi Dawson to be the new director, starting Sept. 1. She’s currently the senior program manager at the Humboldt State University’s California Ocean Protection Council. A statement from Bridget O’Neill, released by Haifley, expressed excitement that Dawson “will help guide O’Neill Sea Odyssey into a future full of hope.”

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
Palestinian American writer Susan Abulhawa writes that in the Arab world, to say a mere "thank you" is regarded as spiritless and ungenerous. The point of communicating gratitude is to light up with lively and expressive emotions that respond in kind to the kindness bestowed. For instance, a recipient may exclaim, "May Allah bless the hands that give me this blessing," or "Beauty is in the eyes that find me beautiful." In accordance with current astrological omens, I propose that you experiment with this approach. Be specific in your praise. Be exact in your appreciation. Acknowledge the unique mood and meaning of each rich exchange.
Libran fashion writer Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) championed the beauty of the strong nose. She didn't approve of women wanting to look like "piglets and kittens." If she were alive today, she'd be pleased that nose jobs in the U.S. have declined 43 percent since 2000. According to journalist Madeleine Schwartz writing in *Garage* magazine, historians of rhinoplasty say there has been a revival of appreciation for the distinctive character revealed in an unaltered nose. I propose, Libra, that in accordance with current astrological omens, we extrapolate some even bigger inspiration from that marvelous fact. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to celebrate and honor and express pride in your idiosyncratic natural magnificence.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you need this advice from mythologist Joseph Campbell: "Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again." He says it's "a rescue land . . . some field of action where there is a spring of ambrosia—a joy that comes from inside, not something external that puts joy into you—a place that lets you experience your own will and your own intention and your own wish." Do you have such a place, Taurus? If not, now is a great time to find one. If you do, now is a great time to go there for a spell and renew the hell out of yourself.
GEMINI May21–June20 When he was 20 years old, future U.S. President Thomas Jefferson had an awkward encounter with a young woman who piqued his interest. He was embarrassed by the gracelessness he displayed. For two days afterward, he endured a terrible headache. We might speculate that it was a psychosomatic reaction. I bring this up because I'm wondering if your emotions are also trying to send coded messages to you via your body. Are you aware of unusual symptoms or mysterious sensations? See if you can trace them back to their source in your soul.

Week of August 8
ARIES Mar21–Apr19
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 "Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else." This definition, articulated by author Isaac Asimov, will be an excellent fit for you between now and September 20. I suspect you'll be unusually likely to feel at peace with yourself and at home in the world. I don't mean to imply that every event will make you cheerful and calm. What I'm saying is that you will have an extraordinary capacity to make clear decisions based on accurate appraisals of what's best for you.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I've compiled a list of new blessings you need and deserve during the next 14 months. To the best of my ability, I will assist you to procure them. Here they are: a practical freedom song and a mature love song; an exciting plaything and a renaissance of innocence; an evocative new symbol that helps mobilize your evolving desires; escape from the influence of a pest you no longer want to answer to; insights about how to close the gap between the richest and poorest parts of yourself; and the cutting of a knot that has hindered you for years.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19
There's a zone in your psyche where selfishness overlaps generosity, where the line between being emotionally manipulative and gracefully magnanimous almost disappears. With both hope and trepidation for the people in your life, I advise you to hang out in that grey area for now. Yes, it's a risk. You could end up finessing people mostly for your own good and making them think it's mostly for their own good. But the more likely outcome is that you will employ ethical abracadabra to bring out the best in others, even as you get what you want, too.
"It has become clear to me that I must either find a willing nurturer to cuddle and nuzzle and whisper sweet truths with me for six hours or else seek sumptuous solace through the aid of eight shots of whiskey." My Capricorn friend Tammuz confided that message to me. I wouldn't be surprised if you were feeling a comparable tug. According to my assessment of the Capricorn zeitgeist, you acutely need the revelations that would become available to you through altered states of emotional intelligence. A lavish whoosh of alcohol might do the trick, but a more reliable and effective method would be through immersions in intricate, affectionate intimacy.
LE0 Jul23–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18
You probably gaze at the sky enough to realize when there's a full moon. But you may not monitor the heavenly cycles closely enough to tune in to the new moon, that phase each month when the lunar orb is invisible. We astrologers regard it as a ripe time to formulate fresh intentions. We understand it to be a propitious moment to plant metaphorical seeds for the desires you want to fulfill in the coming four weeks. When this phenomenon happens during the astrological month of Leo, the potency is intensified for you. Your next appointment with this holiday is August 10th and 11th.
Not even five percent of the world's population lives in a complete democracy. Congratulations to Norway, Canada, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Sweden. Sadly, three countries where my column is published—the U.S., Italy, and France—are categorized as "flawed democracies." Yet they're far better than the authoritarian regimes in China and Russia. (Source: The Economist.) I offer this public service announcement as a prelude to your homework assignment. According to my astrological analysis, you will personally benefit from working to bring more democracy into your personal sphere. How can you ensure that people you care about feel equal to you, and have confidence that you will listen to and consider their needs, and believe they have a strong say in shaping your shared experiences?
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In her poem "Dogfish," Virgo poet Mary Oliver writes, "I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it." Why? Because she wanted her life "to open like a hinge, like a wing." I'm happy to tell you, Virgo, that you now have more power than usual to make your past go away. I'm also pleased to speculate that as you perform this service for yourself, you'll be skillful enough to preserve the parts of your past that inspire you, even as you shrink and neutralize memories that drain you. In response to this good work, I bet your life will open like a hinge, like a wing—no later than your birthday, and most likely before that.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Mystic poet Kabir wrote, "The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers." He was invoking a metaphor to describe his spiritual practice and reward. The hard inner work he did to identify himself with God was the blooming flower that eventually made way for the fruit. The fruit was his conscious, deeply felt union with God. I see this scenario as applicable to your life, Pisces. Should you feel sadness about the flower's withering? It's fine to do so. But the important thing is that you now have the fruit. Celebrate it! Enjoy it!

ALTERNATIVE RELIEF More and more people are seeking out cannabis for its medicinal, not recreational, qualities.
Nature’s Medicine Cannabis newcomers flock to CBD BY LAUREN HEPLER
I
of the demand for CBD products at KindPeoples stems from either newcomers or older customers returning after a long break from cannabis. “They’ll come in and say, ‘I don’t want to get high, but this is what’s wrong with me.’” From anxiety to arthritis to Crohn’s disease to neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, would-be patients are now inundating a growing number of CBD purveyors, from organic grocery stores selling less-concentrated hemp derivatives to cannabis dispensaries like KindPeoples that offer a wide array of CBD blends. CBD’s medical potential has been an area of interest for researchers since around 1980, when isolated studies started to show positive effects of CBD treatment for conditions including epilepsy. Since then, larger-scale studies were severely constrained by
prohibition, and research in the U.S. is just now beginning to systematically evaluate CBD’s efficacy to treat specific symptoms. Key to the perceived wellness benefits of CBD is the way the chemical interacts with cell receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate the body’s neurological system, stress levels, sleep cycle, memory and other functions. “CBD kind of selectively fits into the receptors in your brain that THC would normally go into,” Kim says. “It just doesn’t impart that psychological high people are used to.” With the range of CBD oils, vaporizers and topical creams on the market growing by the day, such products are a prime example of the way consumers are seeking new regimens of personalized medicine. This year, Santa Cruz massage and bodywork studio Vital Body Therapy became the first in town to offer CBD
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 8-14, 2018
n the ever-widening world of weed chemistry, one active ingredient has emerged as the breakout wellness star of California’s legal cannabis market—and it’s not the one that gets you high. First discovered in the 1940s and demonized during the post-Reefer Madness era, CBD—a cannabinoid like its better-known psychoactive cousin, THC—has reemerged in the world of legal cannabis as a painand-anxiety-relieving alternative to more psychoactive cannabis products, as well as to synthetic painkillers like opioids. “Everyone’s initial thought with the adult use was we would see a large increase in recreational use,” says Jessica Kim, a product specialist at KindPeoples Collective. “It’s increased a lot on the medical side, even though these folks don’t have medical recommendations.” Across the board, Kim says much
massage. “Over 65 percent [of our clients] say that they come to us to manage their chronic pain. So, when over 80 people chose the CBD massage the first month we offered it, we were further convinced that people are committed to finding alternative ways to manage their pain instead of using opioids,” says Kelly Stoll in an email. Owners Stoll and Jennifer Galvin also now offer a growing range of custom-formulated CBD massage creams, balms and an epsom soak sold by recently-launched sister company Vital Body Therapeutics. If the world of CBD seems vast, that’s because it is. Key to the appeal of CBD topical creams, oils and vaporizers is that products offer different ratios of CBD to THC—or CBD-only products available over the counter—which Kim says can be tailored to different symptoms. For neurological conditions like Parkinson’s—a more recent area of focus for CBD wellness advocates— Kim recommends products with high ratios of CBD, starting around 20 parts CBD to 1 part THC. The ratio of THC is often higher for epilepsy patients and those looking to treat autoimmune diseases like Chron’s Disease and IBS. For acute pain, like arthritis, Kim recommends more balanced ratios of 2-to-1 or 1-to-1 to take full advantage of THC’s strong analgesic effects. Even if there’s no shortage of demand for CBD, the economics of such products are still evolving. Hemp-based products, for instance, don’t carry the 15-percent statemandated excise tax for cannabis products, and Kim says dispensaries are often able to discount larger quantities. Still, the products don’t come cheap—weighing in around $60 for a 1,000 mg tincture combining CBD and essential oils at KindPeoples. Vital Body Therapy strives to offer reduced-price body work on a caseby-case basis to clients who cannot afford it—many of whom are also members of Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM). “It’s truly a choice people are making based upon their own history of addiction or powerful stories of family members and friends who have died from opioid overdosing that started with a simple prescription to help manage their pain,” says Stoll.

NEWS TEAM BUILDING All-star coalition has three months to sell a $140 million housing bond on November ballot
AUGSUT 8-14, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY JACOB PIERCE
12
Andy Hartman, of the local electrical workers’ union, has noticed a strange irony when it comes to building affordable housing. Oftentimes, the men and women laboring to bring a project to life make too little at the construction sites to afford to live in one of the finished units, explains Hartman, the business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 234. That’s why he’s excited about a new $140 million bond measure headed to the November ballot to fund affordable housing, as it would require that workers be paid a living wage—which, for electricians, would be $46 an hour—instead of hourly wages that he says can run as low as $15. “We want to see workers out there on projects,” he says. “We want to ideally have more local people going to work on the projects.” It isn’t just the unions who are throwing their weight behind the measure, which would need a two-thirds voter majority to pass on the Nov. 6 ballot. By last month, the coalition working on the November measure had grown to more than 70 people, including members of local city governments, affordable housing developers, the Community Action Board, Visit Santa Cruz County, Barrios Unidos, the Santa Cruz Farm Bureau, and Santa Cruz for Bernie, to name a few. On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to place the measure on the upcoming ballot. During a public comment period that lasted more than an hour, Cathy Sator, of Peace United Church of Christ, spoke on behalf of COPA, a coalition of more than 29 institutions, like schools and churches. Her voice trembling, she spoke about her five children—one of whom works for Hospice of Santa Cruz County, and another in mental health. “These are Santa Cruz’s own kids, kids who did everything we asked of them,” she said. “We asked them to get an education and contribute and give back to society. Our congregations are losing members and clergy. Our schools can’t recruit >16

City will miss its self-imposed deadline for decision on homeless camp BY LAUREN HEPLER
J
ust off Highway 1, at the far end of River Street in the Harvey West neighborhood of Santa Cruz, a temporary microcity is still humming along despite another deadline fast approaching for its residents. Behind a tall fence topped with barbed wire, tents housing some five dozen people are arranged in neat rows, personal touches like prayer flags and a water station thoughtfully arranged near the front entrance. Outside the city-backed homeless
encampment, temporary no parking signs posted when the camp first opened in February still list a June 30 expiration date. Now, with just over a week to go until the city’s next selfimposed deadline for an alternative shelter, GT has learned that the city is poised to again delay a decision on the camp amid ongoing resistance to proposed longer-term locations. “It doesn’t look like we’ll be taking anything to City Council on the 14th,” city spokesperson Eileen Cross wrote in an email, referring to next week’s
Santa Cruz City Council meeting. “No decision has been made on River Street.” Cross adds that “the city and county are continuing to explore feasible options of locations to move the camp to,” though she did not specify individual sites or neighborhoods. Santa Cruz County Spokesperson Jason Hoppin, meanwhile, says the county is more focused on the potential for increased state funding and youth homelessness outreach. “The River Street camp >14

itself was always something the city did,” Hoppin says. “Their efforts to relocate people and find a new location for that—that’s going to be up to them.” With the future of the River Street camp uncertain, some local homeless advocates are taking matters into their own hands, launching efforts to create more options for people to sleep safely in cars or store personal belongings. At the county level, nearly $2.5 million in federal funding has also flowed this summer into efforts to address homelessness among young adults and school-age children who lack stable housing. In the process of identifying potential paths forward, Santa Cruz is grappling with an increasingly acute situation felt in cities throughout California and beyond. “It’s a huge issue up and down the coast,” says Bob Erlenbusch, executive director of the Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness, where policymakers in the state capital are also exploring city-sanctioned camps for some 600 people. “The West Coast, from San Diego to Seattle, all saw pretty significant increases in homelessness.”

Perhaps the biggest question now is how far local governments in Santa Cruz and cities with similarly outsized homeless populations will go to use public land to alleviate homelessness while policymakers discuss longer-term fixes for affordable housing. Four sites were previously proposed for an interim shelter facility to be open for 18-24 months until a new permanent shelter could be built, including a county facility on Emeline Avenue, the National Guard Armory near the DeLaveaga Golf Course, Pogonip Clubhouse off Golf Club Drive, and Dimeo Lane near the city landfill. Though homeless advocates and some residents have urged immediate action, many would-be neighbors have staunchly opposed the proposals, stalling a decision. “It’s been an endless cycle,” says Brent Adams, who heads local
nonprofit homeless services and advocacy group the Warming Center Program, alluding to evictions prior to the River Street camp in San Lorenzo Park and elsewhere. “We think there needs to be a more holistic and streetaware approach to shelter.” While public agencies debate next steps, grassroots groups like Adams’ have started to offer up stop-gap measures—some with government support, some without. The Association of Faith Communities, for instance, has appealed for public funds to expand its SafeSpaces program offering free parking spaces to the estimated 30 percent of homeless residents who sleep in their cars each night, one third of whom live in their cars with a child. The Warming Center Program, which operates with no public funding on a $65,000-a-year budget, has offered its namesake winter shelter since 2014 and in June began a free service that allows homeless residents to store their belongings while not in use. Last Thursday evening, Adams and the Warming Center’s one paid employee stood outside a white passenger shuttle bus parked at a running city meter in the lot behind the downtown Wheel Works. A slow trickle of men and women walked up to the bus, gave their names and waited for the gray plastic bins with their belongings — bedding, clothes, shoes — to be retrieved for the night. One man with a bald head and bright blue eyes, Larry, said he lived at a home in the Santa Cruz Mountains for 40 years and used to commute to Silicon Valley for work as an engineer. Finding a new job after a layoff proved impossible at an older age, he said, which led to spending the last few weeks sleeping in a quiet spot with good light, on the street near downtown. Still, Larry, who declined to give his last name, said he was hopeful he’d find a new place in the mountains in a few more weeks. He described himself as “independent,” but also said living on the street was for him something like an out-of-body experience you might read about in a book. He even
sympathized with neighbors in houses and apartments who remain divided over what to do next. “They’re in a tough spot,” he said. “It’s a lot of people.”
THE MAKING OF A STALEMATE The official numbers, tallied one day every other year by a team of volunteer surveyors, say that Santa Cruz was home to 2,249 homeless individuals last year—up from 1,964 people in 2015, but well below the 3,536 people counted by the pointin-time survey in 2013. About 68 percent of people surveyed last year lived in the county prior to becoming homeless, and 38 percent of people had been homeless for 11 months or less. Still, advocates and public officials alike question whether statistics capture the full range of people living in various stages of homelessness. Gray areas like constant couchsurfing, long stays in motels or families living doubled or tripled up are often overlooked, along with people who may try to avoid being counted or stay in more isolated outdoor areas. “I think we forget all the different faces of homelessness,” says Santa Cruz Vice Mayor Martine Watkins, who also works as a community organizer for the Santa Cruz County Office of Education. “We have a lot of kids who are homeless in our county.” About 17 percent of those tallied in the 2017 homeless count were children under the age of 18. During the 2016-2017 school year, the county reported 3,263 homeless school-age students, mostly living in overcrowded homes or apartments shared with other families. Starting this school year, Santa Cruz County Schools and Pajaro Valley Schools will each receive $175,000 annually for the next three years to serve homeless students. As part of more than $2 million in federal funding for youth homelessness announced by the county this summer, schools will also benefit from $100,000 annually to be spent on a new Youth Homeless Response Team to bring children who >18

teachers. Our health institutions can’t recruit doctors and nurses.” The rent for a two-bedroom Santa Cruz apartment is about $3,200, according to data from both Zillow and Rent Jungle, which is more than half the median household income. Casey Beyer, the executive director of the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce, has been working on the measure and building a coalition for more than a year, since former Mayor Don Lane and former state Assemblymember Fred Keeley asked if he would pitch in to help strategize. Beyer says that when the chamber polls its members on top priorities, three things rise to the top of the list—housing, transportation and retention or recruitment of employees, in that order. When Beyer asks business owners about their recruiting problems, he says they tell him, “Well, if we can recruit someone here, we often lose that potential candidate
because the cost of housing is too high.” The challenge, he says, applies to both the public and private sectors. Some progressives were understandably less than thrilled at the bond’s dollar amount, given that it would provide $110 million less than the $250 million measure Lane and Keeley had initially pitched. Keeley says the trick was finding that sweet spot between how much voters’ checkbooks will support and how much money was required to provide the needed impact. The last time that the Affordable Housing Santa Cruz County (AHSCC) coalition met, members in attendance voted unanimously to support the measure. They also voted unanimously to go “all in” on the campaign, meaning that even if someone is running a different campaign, the affordable housing bond should be their second-biggest priority. “We gotta be number two, not number three or four,” Keeley explains. In the measure, 75 percent of the funds are slated for affordable housing construction,
and 15 percent would go to fund the brick-andmortar construction costs for new homeless facilities that could be spent anywhere in the county. The final 10 percent would go to assistance for home ownership, like loans to first-time homebuyers. Beyer says that in order to build units that are truly affordable, the community will need funding, and if Santa Cruz wants to compete for state grants, the county needs local sources like a ballot measure. The measure’s money is split between the county’s five local governments, with a breakdown that the city managers and the county administrative officer agreed upon. Recent polling paid for by AHSCC reveals some encouraging tidbits about likely voters’ compassionate interest on these issues—but also cause for concern. Only 60 percent of voters support the measure at first, with 3 percent more leaning in that direction. After hearing more information, that number jumps to 64 percent, with 2 percent more leaning toward supporting it, bringing the total number to 66
percent, still technically under the needed twothirds threshold. The measure includes language, recently mandated by state law, about the cost of the bond measure to property owners on their property tax bill. It would cost $16.77 per $100,000 of the officially assessed value of the property. The pollsters told Keeley support could be 5 to 12 percent higher were it not for that language. Coalition members know they could wait two years and put the measure on the ballot in 2020, when they can count on higher turnout from a presidential election. But if a recession begins between now and then, Keeley isn’t sure that the climate would be any more favorable. He notes that coalition members have plenty of campaign experience, and that housing will drive voters to the polls in November, as there will be two statewide housing measures and two local ones. With a short runway ahead, Beyer says campaigners need to craft a cohesive message and stay on the same page. “Now’s the time to play ball. We have 100 days to pull it across the finish line,” says Beyer, a onetime chief of staff to former state Assemblymember Tom Campbell. In the AHSCC poll, county voters’ top three priorities were affordable housing, homelessness and mental health services. Those needs came in ahead of education, transportation, the environment and public safety. Eighty-four percent of likely voters agreed that local governments should do more do address the homeless problem in Santa Cruz County, with 60 percent strongly agreeing. Those numbers are up from polling in 2017. Not only that, but the numbers of those who were unsure, who somewhat disagreed and who totally disagreed went down. The polling indicates that people are more concerned about being able to find a place to live for themselves than they are about other people. That indicates encouraging findings on what Keeley calls “the compassion meter.” “The compassion meter in our community isn’t inexhaustible, but this isn’t so much about them,” he says. “It’s about what kind of community do we want to live in?” Keeley stresses the campaign is in the business of securing money for affordable housing, not making housing policy decisions that local governments will figure out in the future. “We’re not in the business of saying where it should go, should it be single-family or multifamily? Should we do four stories on Water Street? We’re staying in our lane,” Keeley says, “and our lane is forming capital, providing funding and community funding to make these pencil out.”

may be on the street or in shelters back into the school system. Though homelessness can result from a range of circumstances—job loss, medical conditions, substance abuse, evictions—the reckoning about the future of the issue comes at a time of increasing anxiety about widening economic disparities in the county. A disconnect between high costs of living and scarce highwage work in Santa Cruz has earned the city several dubious distinctions in recent years. One 2015 UCSC report named the city the “least affordable small metro area in the entire country.” Just two weeks ago, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California reported that Santa Cruz County is the secondpoorest county in California—Los Angeles County topped the list—with nearly 24 percent of area residents falling below a localized poverty rate of $33,953 for a family of four. “Housing costs are really the single-largest component of what’s driving at least the California poverty measure,” says Tess Thorman, co-author of the PPIC study. “Any changes in that statewide will really have an impact on poverty.” Though Santa Cruz built more housing than required by state regulators from 2007-2014 for residents earning $41,700 a year or more, the city did not report building any of the minimum 75 units ordered for residents earning less money. The city’s latest state-mandated housing assessment from 2015 attributes the gap to the recession-era dissolution of statewide redevelopment agencies, which previously provided permanent funding for affordable housing. As residents with and without housing await word on what might come next, Hoppin says an estimated $8-10 million from the state that could be made available on an emergency basis by the end of this year could be a game changer. Still, even good news comes with caveats. “That funding is one-time, and it has to be spent in a relatively short amount of time,” Hoppin says. “We have a lot of work ahead of us to figure out how we’re going to spend it.”

Santa Cruz pro Shasta Criss is living his dream in the city that’s become the center of the disc golf universe BY HUGH MCCORMICK

anta Cruz pro Shasta Criss caught the disc golf bug relatively early—as a high schooler in 1992. The black-bearded 41-year-old traveling pro plays on the Disc Golf Association’s ProLine team, and feels most comfortable playing both tournaments and casual rounds in a zip-up hoodie and baseball hat. Criss is a seasoned professional, with 21 career wins and more than $60,000 in career earnings, but he fondly remembers how it all started. He began playing his “home course” of DeLaveaga, lovingly referred to as “DeLa,” with a group of his buddies and a single disc in the early ’90s. In college, he was playing disc golf more regularly, and then, after taking a five-year hiatus where he was “trying to figure out life,” he came back to the sport shocked
and inspired at how much the game had changed. “When I started playing again around 2002, the disc and plastic technology had changed dramatically,” says Criss. “I saw people throwing shots I didn’t know were possible. I wanted to throw like that and get good at disc golf.” He soon began devoting more time and energy to “the beautiful game,” working long nights so he could spend all day at DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course—playing multiple rounds of the 29 holes, incrementally improving his putts, drives and approach shots. While still an amateur in 2005, Criss decided to play his first tournament, the Faultline Classic. “It was a pro-only tournament, but I didn’t care,” he says. “I just wanted to play.” His horrible finish didn’t deter him
in the slightest, and he started playing in more and more tournaments. His finishes became better, and he became better. Way better. In 2006 he began playing pro, and four years after jumping into the world of competitive disc golf, Criss won his first tournament, the 2010 Faultline Classic, at the age of 33. Criss’s proudest accomplishments came last year, when he won two national tournaments—Oregon’s Beaver State Fling and the Masters Cup, held every year at DeLaveaga. Since turning 40 in 2016, he now competes in the Masters Division. Playing the sport that he adores, and currently in the middle of the longest tour of his career—a string of big tournaments that will take him clear across the country and back in his retrofitted van—Criss is living his dream.

A SINGLE DISC Criss believes the sport has a pretty quick learning curve. “People can get good after a year or two. It took me a long time to get good, but once I had the desire to I saw results and improved quickly,” he says. Pros will typically carry 20-plus discs with them, and multiples of the same disc, but he believes that all beginners need is one disc to start. Once you figure it out a little, then it’s time to throw different discs. For less than $10, those new to the sport can buy a midrange driver than will fly straight with
little side to side movement. “A midrange driver is perfect for learning, because they’re easier to control,” he says. Criss calls the disc golf community a “tribe” that spans all walks of life and is growing across the country and world. The love of the flying disc and the game creates a bond that he says is indescribable. “On tour there is one constant: your friends and fellow competitors,” says Criss. “The camaraderie is what really makes the game special.” Criss says that he is “beyond stoked” to be a part of a disc golf family that continues to grow.
Even though Criss is a globe traveling, touring professional his heart he will always live in Santa Cruz County. This is where he picked up his first “magical” disc—this is where the love affair was born.
THE DELA STANDARD When Tom Schot designed and built DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course in 1984, he could have never imagined how popular—or how important—it would become. DeLa is where Criss honed his skills. It also remains a top bucketlist destination for almost any disc
golfer. Everyone in the sport has heard of DeLa, and the legendary course is the home of California’s largest tournament, the Masters Cup, now in its 33rd year. “It’s pretty amazing to see how much disc golf has grown in Santa Cruz County, and what it is today,” Criss says. A 29-hole wooded and highly technical disc-golf-wonderland, DeLa has single handedly made Santa Cruz County a world-class disc golf mecca. Mythical holes like “the Fridge, “the Lady,” and of course “the Top of the World,” bring thousands of locals and disc golf

pilgrims to DeLa each year. But while DeLa is undeniably the biggest and baddest local course we have, it isn’t the only game in town. “My first love will always be DeLa, but Black Mouse in Felton is definitely worth the trip,” says Criss. The short technical course set among the redwoods on a steep slope in the San Lorenzo Valley offers a unique and exciting challenge for disc golfers of all skill levels. For true beginners, Aptos High’s modest course has plenty of baskets that are perfect for practicing short drives, approaches, and putts. If you’re willing to travel to Monterey, Criss is a big fan of the two courses at Cal State Monterey Bay, and the “user friendly” course at Ryan Ranch. Being a disc golf pro in Santa Cruz County certainly has its perks. The first is the weather; disc golf diehards can play year round. The second is competition. Courses like DeLa attract solid competitors to smaller monthly tournaments, and to big tourneys like the Masters Cup
in the spring and Faultline Classic in the fall. The DeLaveaga Disc Golf Club hosts a wide variety of events and tournaments perfect for getting your feet wet. Bag Tag nights, held every Tuesday at DeLa, attract pros and novices alike, and are sublime arenas for learning rules and techniques, skill building, and offer a fun and casual way to get into competing. “Playing with more experienced players is the best way to get better,” says Criss. He adds that he will always be a student of the game. “No two rounds are the same,” he says. “There is always something to learn and get better at.” Just a decade ago, most people would scoff at the idea of a “professional disc golfer.” But today, says Criss, “there are more and more people making a living off the sport. It is important however that we remember our roots and origins as the game grows into something bigger than we ever expected.”

Near the end of the 19th century, DeLaveaga Park was donated to the government as part of a trust for “educational and recreational purposes.” The California National Guard used the park for training exercises, and the ridge that now hosts DeLa’s most famous hole–“The Top of the World”—was used as a lookout point for the military in World War II. But by the time Tom Schot received permission to construct an 18-hole disc golf course in 1984, the park’s long-sinceunused upper region had become a dumping ground littered with overturned cars, refrigerators, washing machines and countless broken bottles. Little did anyone know Schot was masterminding a course that would not only rescue and transform the space, but also become a national mecca of disc golf. Schot’s course, which initially used 4x4 wooden posts as targets, was specifically created to host the 1987 World Disc Golf Championships. The newly formed DeLaveaga Disc Golf Club (DDGC) helped him get the course ready for action, clearing out tons of junk, twisted underbrush and poison oak. On its way to becoming a worldclass disc golf destination, the course—now boasting 29 holes—has morphed and mutated over the years, but many aspects of Schot’s design remain intact today. Around 200 people play DeLa each day, and the DDGC, now one of the most respected disc golf clubs in the nation, has been at the forefront of establishing and transforming disc golf culture in Santa Cruz County.
DeLaveaga is a natural cathedral boasting towering redwoods and groups of Monterey Pines that form the backbone for many of the course’s holes. Banana slugs abound, and the hoot of an owl might cause players to pause mid-throw. The course is a gorgeous mixture of flora and fauna, a truly special place that delights disc golfers from around the world.

BLACK MOUSE DISC GOLF COURSE 7179 Hacienda Way, Felton At Black Mouse, an ancient redwood forest keeps discers, squirrels, and the occasional mouse shaded and comfortable on hot days. Designed and installed by SLV Junior High School students, “the Mouse” is a true technical course. Hanging branches provide tight windows that require precise throws on almost
every one of Black Mouse Disc Golf Course’s 18 holes. Booming drives don’t matter here—Black Mouse is all about control. A putter and midrange driver is all you need to have a good round. Pros and amateurs alike will enjoy the wild elevation changes and its tightly wooded holes that serve as a nice counterpart to the wide open play at the area’s other top courses. Black Mouse will test all of your shots—short putts, forehands, tomahawks, etc. Most of the course’s holes are short and birdie-able (150200 feet) with a little finesse—and

called Disc Golf Pole Holes) to speak of; students threw Wham-O-style Frisbees at a variety of targets like telephone poles, redwood trees, and the occasional car. Eventually, the UCSC Disc Golf Club (UCSCDGC) established courses, but these too were informal, lacking anything in the way of baskets or tee pads. In 2015, everything changed. After years of clamoring and pushing hard for their beloved sport, the UCSCDGC convinced OPERS to install a ninehole disc golf course on campus. The modest course that now snakes across the outer rim of the East Field Complex has become a popular place to play for students, and some non-Slugs as well. The slightly hilly par-3 course boasts top-of-the-line baskets and incredible views of the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary and Santa Cruz. It’s designed to play like a “seaside links course,” and is a wide-open, often windy, place to practice medium range drives and putting. In spite of hilly terrain, elevation changes, and a variety of hole locations and lengths, a round will be more memorable for its beauty than its challenge. Still, it’s a fun course, and worth a visit. Navigating the course can be a bit confusing, but course maps are provided by the OPERS office in the East Fieldhouse. One thing to note: this is not a circular course—hole nine ends up far away from hole one, so getting back to your car may require a bit of a hike.
HARBOR HIGH DISC GOLF COURSE 300 La Fonda Ave., Santa Cruz Practice makes perfect. And Harbor High Disc Golf Course is a perfect place to practice. Bring a handful of discs—you won’t need more than a midrange driver and putter—and frolic about on this five-hole course placed strategically around Harbor High School’s track and football field. It’s a great place to start for newbies, and vets looking to hone individual parts of their game. Practice drives on the football field itself, and then spend some time
working on putt mechanics. The course is a great place to figure out the nuances and personalities of new discs. The course itself really doesn’t put up much of a challenge, and the basket locations are pretty wide open. The baskets themselves are top quality. Use Harbor High Disc Golf Course as a warm-up spot or practice zone, and remember that it’s, of course, closed during school hours.
BRIDGE TO BRIDGE DISC GOLF COURSE 287 Water St., Santa Cruz Tom Schot and the City of Santa Cruz installed the Bridge to Bridge Disc Golf Course in downtown Santa Cruz with noble intentions. The nine-hole course, established in 2012, was strategically placed to increase foot traffic along the San Lorenzo River’s levee. But that dream never manifested. In Bridge to Bridge’s infancy, park rangers routinely patrolled the area of San Lorenzo Park between the county courthouse and the river, but for the last couple of years the park has been known more for its homeless-encampment controversies than anything else. It’s a shame, as Bridge to Bridge is a beautifully designed, technical disc golf course that is a sublime place to work on putts and midrange drives. The course was designed with beginners and intermediatelevel players in mind, and most holes are pretty basic—less than 200 feet. The narrow stretch of parkland is the perfect place to learn the basics of the game. Many holes are “aceable,” but require some mojo and maneuvering to avoid shrubs and small trees. A full round of pitch and putt holes can be played in less than an hour. The City of Santa Cruz spared no expense in creating Bridge to Bridge, and each hole has top-ofthe-line DGA Mach III baskets and granite tee pads. In reality, most experienced players would prefer to drive a few miles and disc at DeLa, but if you’re in downtown Santa Cruz and have a burning desire to disc, Bridge to Bridge is there for you.

The origins of disc golf BY HUGH MCCORMICK
D
isc golf didn’t start with a bang. Instead, it started with a Wham-O—and a man affectionately known as Steady Eddie. While the age-old question of who played disc golf first remains a heated topic argued over many a pint, there’s no denying that the sport as we know it today wouldn’t exist without the tireless and steady efforts of Ed Headrick. A serial inventor and top engineer at the Wham-O toy conglomerate (which also brought the world the Hula Hoop, the Slip ’N Slide, and the Hacky Sack, among other things), Headrick is credited with inventing the world’s first Frisbee in 1966. For many years, Frisbee golf really didn’t fit into the promotional plans Wham-O had for its flying pieces of plastic. Pretty much from day one, however, small groups across the nation were using the Wham-O projectiles to play the earliest games of Frisbee golf. Throwing Frisbees at targets was just plain fun. One groundbreaking event, the first American Flying Disc Open in 1974, was a legendary gathering of Frisbee enthusiasts, and is arguably the place where Frisbee culture was born. Hundreds of Frisbee golfers or “Frolfers” descended on the city of Rochester, New York in the hopes of winning what was then a sweet prize: a 1974 Datsun B2W. Pretty much overnight, Frisbee golf—eventually known more popularly as disc golf—had arrived. Sensing growing excitement surrounding the flying plastic discs he had created almost a decade earlier, Headrick created a new Sports Promotion Department at Wham-O, and hired the Datsundriving AFDO champion Dan “Stork”
Riddick as its director. Many people who had been playing some version of Frisbee golf for years were shocked to learn that their informal hobby was a real sport. In late 1975, Headrick designed, built, and installed the world’s first disc golf course at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena. Originally, simple poles were used as targets. But Headrick struck gold with his next, much-needed creation: the basket we know today, which he called the Disc Golf Pole Hole. When he installed them at Oak Grove Park, the popularity of the course, and disc golf in general, increased dramatically. In the Summer of 1976, Headrick founded the Professional Disc Golf Association. The group has become a huge part of his legacy, and remains the largest disc golf organization today. Early disc golfers jumped at the opportunity to become a part of the PDGA, a legit governing body and a way to feel like they were a part of something bigger than their local clubs. Disc golf was still in its infancy, but Headrick saw it as the next big thing. Abandoning his comfortable and well-compensated position at Wham-O, he went all-in on the disc golf dream. He began travelling the country, promoting the sport, designing courses, and selling his Pole Holes. A natural salesman and true hustler, Headrick watched proudly as the popularity of disc golf started to snowball. Each new Headrick course attracted new players to the sport, and cities and towns began clamoring for his designs. After a few years of barely making it, his gamble started to pay off, and by 1979 the young sport of disc golf was well established.

Striving for Health
ROOTS OF HEALTH COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Discovering anthroposophy through the Waldorf School and Camphill Movements inspired me to join the Anthroposophical Society and the School of Spiritual Science (both of which meet regularly in Santa Cruz). Following my Anthroposophical Studies at the Goetheanum, I was invited to join the Social Therapy program.

Social Therapy, as put into practice by Karl König in the Camphill Movement is a professional discipline inspired by Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher, teacher and the founder of anthroposophy. The art of building inclusive relationships is a therapeutic discipline-- the heart of which is a healthy social environment where the virtue of the other is living.

place and community. “The experimental scene in Santa Cruz is really growing, and there are a lot of people that are interested in it that just don’t know it yet,” says Madison Heying, the event’s curator, and a teaching fellow and Ph.D candidate in cultural musicology at UCSC. “There are a lot of people here who are open to experiencing new things, and that really want to experience art that challenges their senses and how they look at the world. This challenges how they listen and what they think of as music.” Harris’ contribution has two parts. The first is a walk to the Walton Lighthouse along the West Jetty Walkway with headsets, and the second is a sunset performance featuring a dreaming sea lion dancing to her oceanic recordings. Harris will be joined by Maidens of Delos, who will be playing ancient Celtic battle trumpets that look like monsters to accompany their piece on ancient Greek sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis. Casey Anderson will also be using radio transmitters and receivers together to explore sound and Ann Alstatt and Kyle LaneMcKinley will be contributing a more visual composition of surreal collage and conversation around the history and future of Santa Cruz landscapes and scenery. “There are a couple of misconceptions about experimental music. One is that it looks haphazard, that people are just making crazy sounds or anyone could do it, when actually a lot of discipline goes into making experimental music,” Heying says. “The other misconception is that it’s not approachable, and it definitely can be. That’s one of our goals with this event in particular and Indexical in general—we really don’t want anyone to feel like there is a barrier to entry.” In “Melt Me Into the Ocean,” Harris will use her wharf and harbor recordings, along with some deepwater recordings borrowed from the Monterey Bay Research Institute (MBARI). MBARI records and streams the sounds from 900 meters below the surface, compared to the Monterey Bay Canyon’s depth of nearly 4,000 meters—which is far deeper than the Grand Canyon. On the particular segments Harris has used,
&
there are whales and a deep hissing echo radiating from within the canyon walls. “What I asked [MBARI] for was not the most perfect Humpback whale song. What I wanted to hear was the mass of sound that is under there,” Harris says. “There are many different things going on, and I wanted to try and understand what the environment of that space is, and try to listen to the context of the environment.” Harris’ main performance will be reliant on the evening light. She says instead of having an arc of a beginning, middle and end like most performances, her work is a trance-like space that doesn’t revolve on time, but rather sunlight. The diminishing light will provide a transition as it fades and her sea lion projections become clearer. “It’s about standing on the edge of the land and looking out at the surface. How do you know the huge depth and environment that’s beneath there?” Harris says. “There are many ways, and I thought sound is a way that can ease you into that, give you a different kind of information and sensation of immersion in it.” She says that, above all, it’s about people’s ability to stand at the edge of the ocean and imagine—and in listening to the recordings and seeing the projections, her work allows them to do that. “It’s largely about taking time to imagine. I hope there will be more serious attention given to it if people can imagine,” Harris says. “In terms of conservation, it’s too easy and convenient to ignore the ocean, and use it just for pleasure and entertainment.” Harris isn’t interested in the surface itself; she wants to dip below it. For her, identity is not visual or limited to the surface—it’s beyond what the eye can see. So she uses sound in an embodied experience that extends beyond visual or tangible aspects. “If you give something a real presence,” Harris says, “then you can’t ignore it anymore.” ‘Melt Me Into The Ocean’ takes places at 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11.

LOOK BACK IN ANGLES Giraffes Giraffes bring their new ‘Memory Lame’ album to the Crepe Place on Friday.
AUGUST 8-14, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Former Santa Cruz band Giraffes Giraffes returns with a new album set here BY AARON CARNES
T
he latest record by offbeat math rockers Giraffes Giraffes, called Memory Lame, is cut into 37 chapters, most with mind-bogglingly long titles that might seem like non-sequiturs. But in fact, they tell a story—one that begins right here in Santa Cruz. The title of chapter 2 is “Free Concert at the Boardwalk and Eddie Money Rips Into ‘I Wanna Go Back’” which, for guitarist/vocalist Joe Andreoli, is an iconic Santa Cruz image. “Eddie Money is playing in Santa Cruz. Every year he’s there. That’s just what happens,” Andreoli says. “That starts off this sort of stream of
events that the person has.” It shouldn’t be a surprise that Giraffes Giraffes would set their story in Santa Cruz; the band basically started here. Originally from the East Coast, the duo (Andreoli and drummer Kenneth Topham) relocated to Santa Cruz a little over a decade ago, after a friend told them how well their music would work here. The two had started jamming while still living on the East Coast. Andreoli previously played in a post-rock band; drummer Ke Topham, a spazzy psych-rock group. Together they started spitting out math rock, but
with a fun, almost silly edge. In Santa Cruz, they blossomed into a real band, and were almost immediately embraced by the scene here. They’ve since moved back to the East Coast, but the group recorded its first two records here, and still have fond memories of their early years in Santa Cruz. “I often wonder if we had stayed in New England, if we would have really gotten the same amount of traction or interest,” Andreoli says. The fact that Memory Lame starts at the Santa Cruz beach near the Boardwalk is just a setup. With some reluctance, Andreoli explains to me
the premise of the record, which features a man in Santa Cruz falling and hitting his head on the ground. He has a rush of memories—some his, some other people’s. They continue as he drifts off into the unknown. “I wanted it to almost feel like a book or even a classical movement, something with a lot of different sections that are like these memories, these different things that either happen to me or to Ken or the people that we know, or sort of like universal memories or scenes that a lot of people can identify,” Andreoli says. This is all mostly instrumental music, so there’s no literal narrative. The songs jump around, often times in little spasms that last less than a minute. Some came to be by the band musically interpreting some element of the song title. For instance, one chapter called “Martian Tears” refers to a time when Andreoli was a kid and he and a friend used to burn sheets of plastic just to watch it melt. They called it “Martian tears,” and it made a weird whipping sound. So he tried to make his guitar mimic that sound from his memory. Overall, the record is somewhat less aggressive-sounding than their past work, something Andreoli attributes to being essentially the first album they’ve done that was recorded in a studio. It’s also the first time they’ve worked with an actual label, Top Shelf. Despite the math rock tag, the band tends to not play in an overly technical manner, or in a way that’s stiff or serious. There’s always this sort of goofiness to the way they assemble songs, which ends up impacting everything they do in the context of the band. “We just want to have fun. That’s the only motivation for us to be doing any of this. It’s to be enjoying ourselves and enjoying seeing other people. When we play, we face each other, because it’s like this thing that we’re doing together,” Andreoli says. Giraffes Giraffes plays at 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10, at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/ door. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 8/11 ART OF MASTER PAINTER IWASAKI TSUNEO Ocean Gate Zen Center will host a slide presentation of Japanese visionary artist Iwasaki Tsuneo. Dr. Paula Arai, author and professor of religious studies from Louisiana State University, will talk about the Japanese master’s paintings, which depict both microscopic and huge telescopic views of the natural world based on the Heart Sutra, a zen scripture prized for its expression of wisdom and compassion.

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND GARY BLACKBURN
It took a long time for local musician Gary Blackburn to write “What’s it Going to Take,” a song about his son Alex, who passed away in 2001 before turning 13. “It took time for me to really get past the total badness and grieving and start thinking I needed to make positive things out of this,” Blackburn says. “I need to move forward. I need to write it out to help my healing process.” The response to the song has been incredible, he says. The organization Compassionate Friends, which supports grieving parents, even flew him out to their annual convention to perform the song. Since 2016, he’s been throwing an annual benefit for the organization.
AUGUST 8-14, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“He was such a character. Such a fun guy,” Blackburn says of his son. “He’s my inspiration,”
50
Blackburn is a singer-songwriter with rock, country, blues and Americana roots. He was heavily involved in the local scene from the late ’70s until 1989, when his son—then 5 months old—got sick. He stopped playing music for a while, first dealing with his son’s health, and then later the grieving that came with his passing. In 2011, he joined the alt-country band UTurn, and slowly started playing live more. He is releasing his solo album Streaks of Gray at this show, but he’s not spotlighting it. This event is about Alex and it’s about Compassionate Friends. Even sales from his album go to support the organization. AARON CARNES INFO: 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11. Michael’s on Main, 2591 S Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.
BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE
WEDNESDAY 8/8 INDIE
BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE A Canadian indie rock band that’s been around since the late ’90s, Broken Social Scene is as much an ever-evolving musical collective as a clearly defined group. Formed by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, the band’s membership has ranged from as few as six people to as many as 19. The lack of strict confines extends to the band’s sound, as well, as members take an experimental approach to making music, drawing from all of their diverse musical backgrounds and interests. Described loosely as baroque pop, the Broken Social Scene sound includes guitars, strings, woodwinds, horns and more, swirling together in unexpected ways—sometimes lovely, sometimes chaotic, but always interesting. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $40/door. 423-1338.
COUNTRY
THREE ON THE TREE A three-piece out of La Honda, Three
on the Tree throws it back to the classic country era with smooth and swinging covers of favorites like “Walkin’ After Midnight” and “Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” as well as solid originals that pay tribute to country pioneers and contribute new sounds and stories to the genre. Comprising Jerry B. Logan on guitar and vocals, Freddy Deubert on drums and harmonies, and Noah Hall on bass and harmonies, Three on the Tree will help you forget your 21st century blues. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.
THURSDAY 8/9 COUNTRY
MADDIE LEIGH Yodeling seems like a lost art form— at least until you hear some young artist kick down serious chops. Maddie Leigh, who’s still a teenager by the way, is starting to make a name for herself in the Southern California country scene. She got her start as an ambitious young yodeler; at 15, she released a cover of old-timey-style country song “Little Lady Who,” and in it yodels
like a boss. The next year, she started releasing her own singles, super catchy country-pop songs like “Wishing” and “Some Will Call It Love.” AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.
FRIDAY 8/10 AMERICANA/ROCK
APPLE CITY SLOUGH BAND Drawing inspiration from legendary classic rock bands like the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, the Rolling Stones and Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Apple City Slough Band adds Americana elements and a jam band ethos. The band hails from Watsonville, which was nicknamed “Apple City” 100 years ago due to the abundance of apple orchards in the area. This Friday, the Apple City Slough Band joins folk singer-songwriter Patrick Maguire for an evening of rock, Americana and folk music.

WAND Normally, you have to choose between a band being crazy-weird-psychedelic or pushing out spastic high-energy tunes. Not so with Wand. These guys crank out manic tracks with mind-expanding madness. But on last year’s Plum, the group took a sharp left turn and wrote a record that’s almost math-rock, yet actually toned down a bit in terms of energy. This year’s Perfume seems to be a retrospective of every type of song the group can write, with some new tricks in the bag as well.

MONDAY 8/13 JAZZ
EMMET COHEN Everyone seems to want a piece of Emmet Cohen. At 28, the pianist has been recruited by some of jazz’s most formidable bandleaders, holding his own with commanding drummers Herlin Riley and Ali Jackson while touring and recording with bass maestro Christian McBride. An accompanist B-3 organist, he’s also made a name for himself as a producer/player eager to document senior legends on his Masters Legacy Series featuring albums by drummer Jimmy Cobb and bassist Ron Carter (with sessions by Benny Golson, Tootie Heath and George Coleman to come). He draws on an expansive array of jazz idioms in his own trio, a fiercely swinging combo featuring Jamaican-born bassist Russell Hall, a protégé of Ron Carter’s at Juilliard, and drummer Evan Sherman, who also performs with the Jimmy Heath Big Band and Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band.

Back in the ’60s in Jamaica, people used to refer to Freddie McGregor as “Little Freddie.” He was only 7 years old, but already he was recording at the famous Studio One as part of the Clarendonians. It was in the late ’70s that he became a star in his own right, starting with the release of his debut album Bobby Babylon in 1979. As the ’80s progressed, McGregor would go on to see his most successful years with songs that were both political and deeply religious to his Rastafarian faith. AC
holds-barred lyrics about presidents, politics, celebrities and everything in-between. One hundred percent completely independent, he has built his own career from the ground up as a champion rap battler to a world-renowned artist teaching revolutionary ideals to hungry minds. MW

Oakland gets loving treatment in ‘Blindspotting’
56
W
hen Billy Bob Thornton won an Oscar for his Sling Blade screenplay, he cited advice he’d once been given by legendary director Billy Wilder: if he wanted a great acting role in a movie, he’d better write it himself. Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal must have gotten the same memo. The two Bay Area performers— actors, singers, rappers and poets— have written themselves a couple of terrific roles in their remarkable movie, Blindspotting, a love letter to the diverse culture and community of Oakland. Both actors turn in virtuoso performances as friends confronting issues of race, class,
identity, and their own volatile, longtime friendship. Far from a typical crime drama about violence on the mean streets, it’s much more intricate, rich, and satisfying. Director Carlos López Estrada, in his feature film debut, makes bold, stylistic choices in every frame. And while the story can be intense, it’s told with plenty of sharp humor as the filmmakers celebrate the cultural vitality of the city they love. Collin (Diggs), who is black, and Miles (Casal), who is white, have been best friends since they were 12, and grown up together in the neighborhood. Collin is on probation (for a crime that is not revealed until late in the movie). With only three
BY LISA JENSEN
days left to serve on his sentence, he’s looking forward to moving out of the halfway house where he’s under strict curfew and resuming his life—if he can just stay out of trouble. Not so easy, with Miles in the picture, who’s prone to making scenes when he feels like a line has been crossed. Which happens a lot in their day job driving a moving van around the city, where they mostly pick up the discarded remnants of previous lives— old furniture, family photo albums— and cart them to the dump so the houses can be gutted and gentrified by the new class of “white hipsters” being lured to tech jobs in the Bay Area from places like Portland. Collin inadvertently misses his
curfew by a few minutes one night, when an incident involving a white cop and a black fugitive plays out alongside his van, putting him under even more intense scrutiny. Matters are further complicated when Miles acquires a gun, for the “protection” of his girlfriend, Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones), and their young son. Meanwhile, Collin tries to warm up his relationship with his ex, moving company receptionist, Val (Janina Gavankar), which cooled when he went to prison. But it all adds up to something way more interesting than a gangsta melodrama. Inveterate rhymers, Miles and Collin can’t help improvising sly verses just walking down the street together, observing life. (Although in the electrifying finale, the rhymes are much more harrowing.) Director Estrada keeps the action popping right off the screen: Collin’s nightmare plays like a music video from hell; on his morning run past the cemetery, he envisions black victims standing silently by their headstones. When the nature of his own crime is finally revealed in flashback, it’s a scary clash of race, culture, and simmering tension, yet the narration by two men of color who saw it all is raucously funny. (The white hipster involved is variously referred to as “Neil Patrick Harris,” and “Portlandia.”) But it also illustrates one of the movie’s major themes—no matter how deeply immersed Miles is in the ethnic culture of the community, he’s accorded an extra degree of privilege because of his race. Diggs is warm, pragmatic, and surprisingly explosive as Collin. (Diggs won a Tony in Hamilton on Broadway while this project was seeking funding.) Casal’s Miles is the smooth operator, peddling discarded items with his honeyed verses. With the easy rapport of the longtime friends they are in real life, they’re consistently entertaining, even as the movie ramps up to its intense, yet transcendent conclusion. BLINDSPOTTING**** (out of four) With Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs. Written by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs. Directed by Carlos López Estrada. A Lionsgate release. Rated R. 95 minutes.
FILM NEW RELEASES BLACKKKLANSMAN Remember how good Spike Lee’s last two movies Da Sweet Blood of Jesus and Chi-raq were? Of course you don’t, because you didn’t see them, and neither did anybody else. It’s safe to say that Lee hasn’t been relevant since 2006, when he delivered both the Hurricane Katrina documentary When the Levees Broke and the twisty heist thriller Inside Man in the same year. But BlacKKKlansman, based on the story of a real-life African-American police detective who infiltrated David Duke’s Ku Klux Klan in 1979, screams “comeback film” in every way. From its cultural relevance in the age of government-supported white supremacists to the way it plays with questions of racial identity (as in Sorry to Bother You, an African-American protagonist has to find his “white voice”) to its showcase for his trademark mix of brutal truth and humor, this is the kind of joint Lee was born to make. Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace. (R) 135 minutes. (SP)
GENERATION WEALTH One write-up described this as “a documentary that investigates the pathologies that have created the richest society the world has ever seen.” Bring your happy pills! Directed by Lauren Greenfield. (R) 106 minutes. (SP) THE MEG Yes, we all wish this horror movie was about a giant Meg Ryan chasing people around,
THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST Cameron Post is a high-schooler growing up in the Bible Belt in the early ’90s who gets caught making out with a girl. Where does she get sent? That’s right, “conversion therapy,” that despicable familyvalues fraud that right-wingers hilariously thought was going to turn all the gays straight 20 years ago. But it wasn’t so hilarious for the kids who had to (and I imagine still have to, somewhere) go through it, and that’s what this adaptation of the 2012 Emily M. Danforth novel explores. Directed by Desiree Akhavan. Starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Sasha Lane and John Gallagher Jr. (NR) 91 minutes. (SP) SLENDER MAN It’s horror-movie plot Jeopardy, where we provide the horror-movie plot answer, and you fill in the horror-movie plot question. The category is: Things That Teenagers Go Out to Investigate and End Up Getting Stalked By. The answer: This mysterious urban legend inspires teenagers in this movie to investigate it, only to end up being stalked by it. No, I’m sorry, not Blair Witch! The correct answer was, “What is Slender Man?” Directed by Sylvain White. Starring Joey King, Javier Botet, and Julia Goldani Telles. (PG-13) 93 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 BLINDSPOTTING Writers and co-stars Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs (of Hamilton fame) deliver their “love letter to Oakland” after
10 years of development. They play two former childhood friends (not a stretch, since they actually were) trying to get through the last three days of a year-long probation being served by Collin (Diggs). But his reckless friend Miles (Casal) may be the biggest threat to his freedom. Directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada. Co-starring Janina Gavankar and Wayne Knight. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) CHRISTOPHER ROBIN There are all these complicated tests out there now that are supposed to tell you if your partner is secretly a psychopath, but I have a super easy one. One morning, just casually say, “Hey, are you interested in seeing this adorable and charming new live-action film in which Ewan MCGregor plays an adult Christopher Robin who has lost touch with his sense of childish fun, but then rediscovers Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and all of his other friends in the 100 Acre Wood?” If he or she says no, get out of the house now! Run for your life! That person is definitely going to murder you for the insurance money. Directed by Marc Forster. Co-starring Hayley Atwell and Bronte Carmichael. (PG) 104 minutes. (SP) THE DARKEST MINDS After 98 percent of children die from a pandemic, the ones left alive mysteriously develop superpowers, and the government rounds them up and puts them in prison camps. Before the Trump administration, this would have sounded like science fiction! Directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson. Starring Amandla Stenberg, Mandy Moore and Gwendoline Christie. (PG-13) 105 minutes. (SP) EIGHTH GRADE Once upon a time, they called it junior high, that fraught and fretful gateway into the teenage years. Now, it's middle school. But even though the name has changed, and the advent of personal technology has altered the landscape even more, the excruciating angst of being 13 is the same for every generation—an experience captured to poignant comic perfection in this first
feature film from writer-director Bo Burnham. What's remarkable is Burnham's insight into young female psychology, and the eggshell-strewn minefield of parent-child relationships. With his muse and co-conspirator Elsie Fisher turning in a galvanizing performance as a eighth grade girl enduring her last week of Middle School, Burnham zeroes in with tender precision on the special awkwardness of this in-between, unavoidable phase of life. Directed by Bo Burnham. Starring Elsie Fisher and Josh Hamilton. (R) 93 minutes. (LJ) THE EQUALIZER 2 Denzel Washington is back as the Equalizer, and this time … it’s personal. No, really, I’m not just saying that! His friend gets killed and everything! And then he has to go avenge her death. That’s what you do when you’re the Equalizer and … it’s personal. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, Melissa Leo and Bill Pullman. (R) (SP) MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN It’s hard to make fun of a sequel that’s already making fun of itself, so perhaps “Here We Go Again” in the title was a preemptive strike on the haters. It’s also, of course, a play on the Abba lyrics on which this whole ungodly franchise is built. First there were the 1970s pop songs, then there was the 1999 musical Mamma Mia!, then there was the 2008 movie based on it, and now this second film puts us four decades into people obsessing over a group whose most famous lyrics are “You can dance/You can jive/Having the time of your life.” Enough! I’m not going to your damn sing-along! Directed by Ol Parker. Starring Lily James, Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (SP) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT I thought I was crazy when I first noticed that the popularity of Mission: Impossible movies seem to grow the more Tom Cruise gets hurt. To put it a little more accurately, the more the movies undercut Cruise’s veneer
of action-hero flawlessness, the more people flock to them. But I’m not the only person who thinks this, because the trailer for the latest one features a scene where Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt is scared to jump out a window. And it’s really funny! For some reason, Tom Cruise getting owned just never gets tired. Hell, isn’t that why we all watched Edge of Tomorrow, to see him get killed over and over again? Directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Co-starring Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. 147 minutes. (SP) SORRY TO BOTHER YOU This story of an African American Oakland telemarketer who finds success when he discovers his “white voice” is whip-smart social satire, for sure, and the best politically conscious movie to come out in a long time. But it’s funny and entertaining as hell, too. It’s also not a good movie to give away too much about. Halfway through, you’ll still be wondering why this film keeps being described as sci-fi—but, oh man, when you find out ... we’ll, you’ll never think of the word “workhorse” the same way again, that’s for sure. Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover and Patton Oswalt. (R) 105 minutes. (SP) THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME This could have been the perfect title for a sequel to Melissa McCarthy’s very funny Spy, but instead it’s been taken by this action comedy starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon as women who get pulled into an international espionage drama because one of their ex-boyfriends worked for the CIA. The tagline “In 2018, women are killing it” is supposed to make you think grrrl power (I guess?), but the jokes are still like, “Do you know how to change a gear?” “What’s a gear?” Get it, girls don’t know anything about cars! Or, apparently, second-grade vocabulary! Oh, the 1950s-era hilarity! Directed by Susanna Fogel. Co-starring Justin Theroux, Lolly Adefope and Sam Heughan. (R) 116 minutes. (SP)
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 8-14, 2018
DOG DAYS A character in the trailer for this family comedy-drama about a bunch of people in L.A. who are brought together by their dogs asserts that “dogs open their hearts to us to love and to be loved.” As a cat person, I’d just like to point out that that sentence makes very little actual sense. But then, neither do dogs! Boom! Amirite, Sir Catrick Stewart? Oh yes I am! Oh yes I am! What a good kitty! Directed by Ken Marino. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Eva Longoria and Nina Dobrev. (PG) 112 minutes. (SP)
but you’ll have to settle for a 70foot prehistoric shark stalking Jason Statham. Directed by Jon Turteltaub. Co-starring Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson and Bingbing Li. (PG-13) 113 minutes. (SP)

New workshop series at Mountain Feed & Farm Supply, plus a new chef takes the helm at Soif BY CHRISTINA WATERS
T
he green thumbs of Ben Lomond’s vibrant Mountain Feed & Farm Supply will be rolling out a new workshop series this summer called Bringing the Harvest Home. Supporting regional ag, these workshops will focus on preserving foodstuffs to fill your pantry using fresh produce direct from farms and delivered to the participants at Mountain Feed on the day of the class. Think of it as a homegrown “meet and greet” between farmers and homepreservers, as well as a way to keep
your pantry stocked with peak harvest all year long, On Aug. 11, Canning Tomatoes provides an intensive class in creating new tomato recipes such as tomato paste, ketchup and soup. Preservationist extraordinaire Jessica Tunis—a self-described food nerd—will walk participants through the basics of canning whole tomatoes. Tunis has been doing this for a decade, and her lively style in the kitchen will make the class accessible to the beginner as well as those who already have some
skills in preserving foods. Bringing the Harvest Home classes are two hours long, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., $60. Participants will take home recipes, a flat of produce, a case of jars, and the new skills to preserve new harvests in bulk. Pre-registration is required—these classes will fill up fast, so reserve your space now! mountainfeed.com.
AS THE SOIF SPINS Patrice Boyle, prime mover and shaker of La Posta and Soif, contacted me with the bracing news that there’s a new chef in the Soif kitchen. As
of Aug. 1, Tom McNary, formerly of Carried Away, now heads the restaurant of the durable wine bar and dining room, replacing the brief tenure of Marshall Bishop. Turns out that McNary and Boyle share a large and growing passion for all things farmers market—the growers, the fresh-harvest action, and the amazingly vibrant produce. “Ultimately, what we serve people matters,” Boyle explains. “And it is something I need to stand behind. When I opened Soif in 2002 we were not big farmers market shoppers, and I realize now I have become a bit of a zealot.” And she’s not alone. We all run into our friends, neighbors, and work colleagues at one or the other of our county’s incredible weekly farmers markets. “I think local farming is important and makes a difference, not the least of which is that it’s delicious,” Boyle says. Soif is on the verge of intensifying its devotion to the fresh and the local, as well as sophisticated cocktails and far-flung wines. Anticipate seeing farm fresh vegetables, herbs, cheeses, fruits, pastured meats appear with increasing vigor on the menus at Soif. “Tom shares that point of view,” Boyle says. “There are certain areas where that alignment is crucial, and this is a big one for both of us.” The new Soif chef is already underway checking out the kitchen territory. And while the menu won’t immediately reflect a radical change, we can expect McNary’s influence—with the help of farmers market foraging—to show up in the days and weeks ahead. “It’s always exciting here,” Boyle confirms. Not a bad phrase to describe the entire Soif experience. Always exciting. Stop by, order something cool and wet, and welcome chef Tom McNary to his new gig.
SPIRITS OF THE WEEK Shakespearean Pop-Ups at The Grove in DeLaveaga Park. On Friday, Aug. 10, look for Venus Sprits to be serving “Venus” inspired cocktails—at the opening of Venus in Fur, of course. And the following week, Saturday, Aug. 18, Birichino offers tasting flights for $5 before Romeo and Juliet. More reasons to see this season’s Santa Cruz Shakespeare productions!

Going Live
The unexpected perks of joining Live Earth Farm’s CSA BY LILY STOICHEFF
I APPETIZER $5 Bring this coupon to add an Appetizer for $5 with purchase of any Flight
’ve tried quite a few hacks to simplify or improve my time in the kitchen, but nothing has made as much of a difference as subscribing to Live Earth Farm’s CSA. For a long time, I resisted joining the community-supported agriculture program—which delivers a box of produce from Live Earth and other nearby farms to a pickup location every week—despite the fact that I frequently shop at our amazing local farmers markets. I assumed it would be too expensive and inconvenient, and that I would end up supplementing my subscription with trips to the grocery store anyway. I could not have been more wrong, and am still impressed with all of the ways it has been a positive introduction into my life. For starters, the quality of their organic produce is exceptional. Each week, I can’t help but swoon a little over the dry-farmed tomatoes, butterball potatoes, dark leafy greens, young onions, cute bunches of radishes or luscious strawberries still warm from the sun. Having just come from their farm outside of Watsonville, everything is fresh. Oddly enough, I thought I might miss
shopping, but I’ve found having the choices made for me (and knowing they’re picking the best each week) is liberating. Live Earth also lets you know what’s coming before you pick it up, and their online hub makes it easy to substitute or add in additional produce. This summer, my zucchini plant has taken over my garden, so I’ve been opting out of summer squash and doubling up on stone fruit and berries. You can also add bread from Companion Bakeshop, preserves from Happy Girl Kitchen in Pacific Grove, pastured eggs and other pantry staples. I’ve also been surprised at how much money I’ve saved. Each share is around $25 a week, and even with veggie-centric diets, my boyfriend and I struggle to eat it all before the next pick-up. And I’ve discovered that by not going to the store multiple times a week, I’ve actually saved money in grocery store impulse buys. But the best part is how good it feels to support our local farmers and sustainable agriculture directly. I knew it would be delicious, but I didn’t realize it would be this easy. liveearthfarm.net.

Loma Prieta Winery is a beautiful place to visit. It has picnic tables, a bocce ball court, giant chess/ checker board, and a telescope—all available to the customer. I end this article on a very sad note: Owner and winemaker Paul Kemp passed away on July 1 due to complications following surgery. I’m sure he would love you to toast him with a glass of his Pinotage. Loma Prieta Wiinery, 26985 Loma Prieta Way, Los Gatos, 408-353-2950. lomaprietawinery.com.

he view from Loma Prieta’s tasting room is not the only reason to go there—their wines are spectacular. At 2,600 feet, the elevation offers a breathtaking panorama of the Monterey Bay. Although Loma Prieta makes around a dozen different wines, it is known far and wide for its Pinotage. Pinotage is a rare wine in California, so it’s exciting to find plentiful quantities at Loma Prieta. Not only do they have their own estate vineyard of Pinotage, but they also get Pinotage grapes from wherever they find a good source. Fruit for the 2014 Pinotage ($45) was harvested in Amorosa Vineyard in Lodi, an ideal area for growing the warm-weatherloving Pinotage grape. Smoky plum and grilled lamb aromas greet the nose, with touches of clove and caraway. On the palate, a wide array of flavors, including soy and tamari, grilled ripe plums, blueberries, sage, marionberry pie, and strong tea, give unique complexity to this interesting wine. The winery suggests you enjoy it with grilled sausages and hot dogs with spicy mustard, or a salami and provolone sub with peppers, oregano and olive oil.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES URANUS RETROGRADES Uranus retrograded on Tuesday this week, joining the other retrogrades (Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron) in this unusual retrograde season. Uranus is one of the “outer planets, beyond the personality-building planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars), and the social (Jupiter and Saturn) planets. Uranus (seventh planet from the Sun and Ray 7) is the planet of the Aquarian Age, of electricity, change, innovation, discovery, revolution and revelations. Uranus brings surprises and many things yet unimagined. When Uranus is retrograde (till 2019), we have inner stirrings, unusual revelations, and the rules of thinking shift and change, we think unusual things, much of which are of the future. Uranus works in sudden ways and is called the Great Awakener, and it is we (humanity) who
are “awakened,” with quick liberating results. Uranus overturns conventions and traditions, allowing all that has outlived its usefulness to fall away. Which brings us to Saturday’s new moon, solar eclipse. During solar eclipses, something essential, its job complete, falls away. Uranus retrograde and the new moon solar eclipse support each other. Both making room for the new to come forth. Uranus brings social change to our world. Retrograde Uranus prepares us for revolutionary changes, revelations that may shock us in the next year. Listen for hints until then. For now, we are in the calm before the storm! Addenda: questions need to be asked about the California firestorms.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
It’s important to assess with truthfulness what you know, recognizing your knowledge as a gift to be shared with others. You can be strong-willed and driven with self-confidence and authority. However, your fire quickly extinguishes and your attention shifts elsewhere. It’s important to acknowledge others’ points of view. Allow others to share their accomplishments. Then you become a true source of real leadership to be emulated.
It is good to seek recognition for your professional work. You’ve worked hard, gaining success and status, climbing every step of the ladder. You’ve been generous with your knowledge, time and skills. You rule with a keen sense of ethics and order. Your pride in your work and the many decisions that helped you reach that state is good and appropriate. It’s also essential to remember those who helped along the way. Who are they? Thank them.
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
You remember many things from the past. Much about family and friends that will reappear. Don’t allow other people’s beliefs, criticisms or behaviors to offend or deter you. Identify with your own thoughts, ideas and intuition. It’s important to feel secure with the information you present to others. However, do not present unusual ideas and visions to those who will either appropriate or test you with them. Maintain protection.
Much of your knowledge has been gained through experiencing the underbelly of life here on Earth (a Mystery school). You have a keen awareness of sorrow and pain, of betrayal, trust and mistrust. You have a sense of ethics and justice. Your most important task is the quest for truth and through this truth a sense of identity emerges. Knowing all that you know, you could rule the world. You know the danger, though.
GEMINI May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
Filled with ceaseless curiosity you interact with everyone and everything. Many may want to communicate with you. Listen to what they have to say. Some may be important. Notice indecision. It reflects the dual nature of our world. Careful with distractions and complete what you’ve begun. Do only what keeps your mind agile, interested, directed, and focused. You’re to initiate the intelligent new narratives we need to hear.
You shine like the Sun. You realize you’ve worked long and hard to be able to shine. You’ve gained strength, expanded borders, extended horizons, projected yourself into fields and hoped to make the world better. You lead others through dramatic explanations. You love your heritage and a sense of self-identity has resulted. When you over-act you pay the consequences. But always you win in the end. Don’t let your crown slip.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20
It’s important to ponder deeply upon the more essential decisions you need to make. You must have all the facts, be practical, proceeding slowly. There’s value in taking your time, contemplating different choices. This gives you focus for significant decisions. Determination colors all your actions these days. You’re developing a greater level of concentration. Concentration is the first level of meditation (the Leo level).
Your determination has always been your great strength. You search for greater inner identity when sharing resources with another. With that “other,” good changes occur in your life. This allows all that’s hidden to come into the light. Remember anger, sadness, disquietude, and unsettledness present you with a message. You’re perhaps overtired, overwhelmed, needing rest and a respite. Contemplate these things. Remain in the garden.

VOTED BEST BURGER
IN WATSONVILLE!
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 7 Days a Week • Full Bar 1819 Freedom Blvd. 831.724.2600
Your voice is stronger, more powerful, more outspoken than usual. You might say things you don’t mean or didn’t think about. Your tone may have changed, too. Arguments and intellectual competition, irritability, impatience, and impulsiveness seem to have cropped up. Concentration is almost impossible so you make quick decisions. All of this makes you more creative, dexterous and getting to the heart of what matters. You’re on the “burning grounds.” Be fierce.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You’re able to communicate with the dream world, with angels and devas, the angelic builders in the plant kingdom. All decisions made will be based on an instinctual sense of things. You may encounter mysteries not understood. Use your imagination, envisioning the world you want to live in. Stand firm within your own beliefs while listening carefully to what others believe. Our minds change when we learn more.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Sometimes, in trying to understand relationships, you allow others to have more power. Eventually you become depressed with this situation and wonder what’s wrong. It’s not good for you to remain in the shadows. You need equality, care, excitement and a deepening love so you can begin to trust and settle down. It’s good that others recognize your leadership skills. You bring the future to humanity. Gracefully.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s good to realize you’re at the helm—the organizer, achiever and advisor of your life with rules and a time watch. Few see or recognize these qualities of responsibility. It’s as if everything’s falling away (again) and disappearing. Placing your entire heart into work can make the nerves suffer. Subtle changes will occur over time. Visualize and imagine, draw and paint, in detail, your perfect and precious life. Clouds never obscure the bright golden sunshine of your very own perfect self.

HEATHER BECHTEL, 20-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
Occupation: Executive director, Rabbit Haven Hobbies: Taking caring of rabbits, miniature art, water color, reading Astrological Sign: Virgo What is Rabbit Haven? A rabbit rescue organization that I founded in 1987. Nice. So who or what first introduced you to Shopper’s Corner? I had heard about their organic produce… It’s really good quality, and whoever does their buying does an excellent job! I’m a vegetarian and I believe Shopper’s has the best fruits and veggies in Santa Cruz. I’ll stock up for only three days’ worth as I like everything fresh.And you’ll always find something exotic! Between my rabbits and myself, my summer shopping list may include red and green leaf lettuces and romaine, celery, cilantro, various parsleys, avocados, strawberries, blueberries, melons plus many more fruits.
What do you like to cook? I try and cook seasonally. Soups and squash in the winter, and other times it might be salads, pasta dishes and pasta salads, also stir-frys with my own natural fruit sauces. I like the local breads Shopper’s carries — especially Kelly’s — plus their super cheese and wine selections. I prefer California wines, and there’s always someone here to assist me when pairing food with my purchases. Shopper’s contains all the basics you need to feed a family — rabbit families too! — in a reasonably sized store with an emphasis on local. I’m community-focused so I support that. One thing I really appreciate is Shopper’s convenience.The store is laid out so you can quickly find what you’re looking for, and parking is easy.
You have a favorite aspect of Shopper’s? Probably the customer service. It’s the best! But, actually it’s on the same level as the quality and freshness of their products. Shopper’s staff is knowledgeable.They’re also warm and friendly, which really lends itself to the shopping experience, which I find fun.The people working here seem calm, cool and collected, and are always willing to assist you, which I appreciate.That’s something that’s missing in many other stores. Shopper’s crew knows my name, my face, and the work I do.You feel appreciated so it feels good spending my money here. Oh, and I always enjoy running into people I know here!
