OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Whenever young people ask me if they need to go to grad school in journalism to pursue a career as a reporter, I say no. It’s not that I have anything against J-School; I’m definitely not one of the “Journalism school is a scam” conspiracy theorists. For instance, my hope for every college undergrad interested in this field is that they can take enough writing and “Journalism 101” type courses to build a solid foundation for their future, and hopefully connect to at least one great mentor. And I know several fantastic journalists who have taken their education further, getting high-level degrees and going on to do great work as reporters and editors. My only concern with years

DEMAND PARKING REFORM

“A parking space in a structure takes up about 350 square feet [counting ramps]. A decent studio apartment can also be carved out in 350 square feet. How is it that we have a culture in which we have somehow created ample free [or low cost] housing for automobiles and really, really expensive housing for humans?" The man who made this statement on a recent podcast is Patrick Siegman, an urban planning consultant who has worked with cities to reform parking policies since the 1990s. In 2016, Patrick was the staff member of Nelson\Nygaard tasked with developing a Downtown Parking Strategic Plan for the City of Santa Cruz. The plan was supposed to be completed in January 2017. I speculate that the reason the plan was never developed has something to do with the library-garage plan that city staff proposed in late 2016. It may be inconvenient for the city to hear from a consultant who says in the podcast, “Parking is one of those things that is so badly in need

and years of J-Schooling (besides the economics) is that sooner or later, you have to take the leap into the real world, and I think there’s sometimes a disconnect between what’s being taught in classrooms and what we’re doing out here. I think artists have it even worse. At least journalism is understood to be a business—it seems like artists are constantly being told that to admit they need a business plan amounts to selling their soul. That’s why this week’s cover story from Wallace Baine about UCSC’s Dean of the Arts Division Susan Solt is so interesting to me. Can great artists also be trained to be great businesspeople? And do university art programs have a responsibility to do so? Solt’s answers to these questions definitely defy conventional wisdom, and the story is an interesting look at how the philosophy at UCSC is evolving.

HOT ON THE TRAIL

New Leaf Community Markets’ customers have chosen nine local nonprofits to be beneficiaries of the Envirotoken program for the next six months. Each time a New Leaf customer brings his or her own grocery bag, they receive a token worth 10 cents, which they may direct to FoodWhat?!, Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, Grey Bears, Homeless Garden Project, Native Animal Rescue, Planned Parenthood, Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation, Save Our Shores, or Walnut Avenue Family and Women’s Center. New Leaf has donated more than $700,000 since 1993.

The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission has released its draft environmental impact report for the proposed North Coast Rail Trail. The 45-day public review and comment period is open until Sept. 24, 2018. The proposed project is a 7.5-mile multi-use bicycle and pedestrian trail stretching along the rail corridor from Wilder Ranch State Park to Davenport. It comprises the majority of Segment 5 of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST) and includes parking improvements. For more information, visit sccrtc.org.

of reform. There is so much waste.” Another staff person at Nelson\Nygaard told the City Downtown Commission in 2015, “Looking at the city’s parking code, I can hazard a guess that maybe it might have been put in place in the 1960s.” Based on city parking policy that outside experts say is badly in need of reform, city staff are projecting a parking deficit in the future. Staff say this deficit justifies investing $45 million on a 600space parking structure. We say reform the parking policy before considering a huge investment. We’ve asked the City to acknowledge that the demand for parking in the future is highly uncertain. Already, ride-service companies have made big dents in parking demand in many cities. And automated vehicles could reduce parking demand by 85 percent, according to modeling by Kara Kockelman at the University of Texas. We’ve proposed that instead of building a huge new parking structure, the city’s Downtown Parking District build one level of parking on its existing surface parking lots. This could provide a low-cost platform for

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 15 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

"The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener," writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That'll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You'll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you'll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play—even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your sign: "Libras can be boring people when they don't trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you'll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you." Spurred by Sebastian's analysis, here's my advice to you: I hope you'll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you'll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian's at http://venuspapi.tumblr.com.)

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn't say that's always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you'll be susceptible to. That's why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest.

GEMINI May21–June20 "I've learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning." So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood. Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you're "supposed" to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you *really* need to learn about next.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you're listening but you're not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don't want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn't as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don't do that to me now. And don't do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren't sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you'll be wise to open yourself to them.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

"Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant," wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that's an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you're in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, "Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.")

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: "big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass." Maybe you'll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers, and pinks.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her "believe in magic." They include the following: "illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow's eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing grey green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night." I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You're entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Since 1969, eight-foot-two-inch-tall Big Bird has been the star of the kids' TV show *Sesame Street*. He's a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird's imagination. I'm foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You'll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. "I am awfully greedy," she wrote. "I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish." Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In her book *Yarn: Remembering the Way Home*, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, "The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches." The idea is that the mistake "is a crack left open to let in the light." Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. "It's that little voice in my head that says, 'I won't even try this because it doesn't come naturally to me and I won't be very good at it.'" I've quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now.

nonprofit housing developers to construct housing above for the people who work in the restaurants and stores downtown. This could be done at the lot next to Calvary Church. It could be done on the lot next to the library, allowing the library to expand its second story with housing above. Or one level of parking could be built below a two-story library on the north end of the lot where the Farmers Market currently meets, allowing most of the lot to continue to be used as an event space. In order for any of these ideas to have traction, we need to give the city a strong

message that a 600-space garage is unacceptable. The City Council will take up the library-garage plan at its meeting on Aug. 28. RICK LONGINOTTI | CAMPAIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION

NEWS GROWING COMMUNITY Camphill Community in Santa Cruz creates a unique life for special-needs residents

AUGUST 15-21, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

Intellectual and developmental disabilities don’t have to hinder a happy and successful life, says Anya Hobley, co-director of Camphill Community in Santa Cruz. At Camphill, workers don’t get a salary, and care doesn’t come at a financial cost. Instead, the residents work to give back to their community in order to support themselves. “The way that people feel engaged and have a sense of purpose in the community here is different from the run-of-the-mill care,” Hobley says. “People are able to cultivate independence and sometimes it’s a shock for the families who thought that they would be dependent on them for life.” Some of these workers and residents spend their time weaving, others on papermaking or organic biodynamic gardening. The focus of Camphill is community life, the arts, and working the land. Nestled in the Soquel hills, the community houses more than 40 friends, as residents are called, of all ages and varying special needs and abilities. Camphill staff, known as co-workers, come from all over the world to support the residents and community. The driving force behind Camphill is the idea that everyone has unique abilities and talents and can be independent regardless of mental limitations. “Working gives everyone a sense of purpose, they are contributing to a larger whole, regardless of their limitations,” Hobley says, while Daniel, a 43-year-old resident with Fragile X Syndrome, pushes a full wheelbarrow across the garden. “It gives their life meaning.” As with most art, the beauty is in the details. The residents weave lavender satchels, pillowcases and blankets and make recycled paper with flower petals. They grow their organic biodynamic crops from seeds and harvest their grapes as a community. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the staff, Camphill is a mash-up of cultural influences from cottage pie (a British riff on shepherd’s pie) to stories from Germany. Hobley has been part of the Camphill movement almost all of her life. Having lived in a Camphill community in Wales >14

Digit Ties Five years later, Sara Isenberg still decoding Santa Cruz’s tech landscape BY WALLACE BAINE

ive years ago, then-Santa Cruz mayor Hilary Bryant knew that there was a healthy tech start-up culture starting to bloom in Santa Cruz, but she didn’t feel she knew as much about it as she should have. As a part of the city’s business retention efforts, Bryant remembers visiting the offices of Looker, the data-analytics company that today is one of Santa Cruz’s most prominent homegrown businesses. “It was probably six or seven people in the small office in the back of the Cruzio building,” she says “I kept thinking, ‘I know you guys are doing something cool, but I have no

idea exactly what you’re doing.’” At the time, the tech industry in Santa Cruz was growing largely outside of notice, so much so that the city’s mayor had to rely on rumor and scuttlebutt to figure out who was doing what. The timing could not have been better for Sara Isenberg, and her idea to provide centralized coverage of Santa Cruz’s tech sector at a new website she called Santa Cruz Tech Beat. Isenberg showed up at the mayor’s office with exactly the solution to her problem. “Sara and I had a great conversation,” says Bryant. “I told her that as an elected official, I

wanted to be able to tell this story and to understand this story. But I didn’t know how to tap into that community without going to a whole lot of events. And I didn’t even have the understanding to know which events to attend. And when she showed up, I was like, ‘Yes, please, how can I help you do this?’” Bryant became one of Tech Beat’s earliest subscribers. This summer, Santa Cruz Tech Beat is celebrating its fifth anniversary of providing a window into the world of Santa Cruz’s busy tech sector. From the beginning, Isenberg has claimed no standing as a journalist. Instead, she >12

NEWS DIGIT TIES <10 comes from tech herself, having graduated from UCSC with a degree in computer science and working in the computer industry since the early 1980s, most notably at Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) throughout the 1990s. “I’m a tech person who just happened to be here and happened to pick up something I thought would be fun when my son was headed off to college,” she says. Isenberg credits her friend and fellow techie Margaret Rosas—who later introduced her to the mayor— for inspiring Tech Beat in July 2013. “The conception at the time wasn’t a grand thing,” says Isenberg. “It was just a newsletter. The people at the city were too busy with other things to know what was going on in tech, and unless you were spending all day

at NextSpace, you didn’t know what was going on.” Santa Cruz Tech Beat first began collecting press releases from the entrepreneurs in town and quickly expanded to include interviews, events and job listings. It was the job postings that really attracted eyeballs to the site, and after a couple of years, Isenberg moved from a tech consultant who publishes a newsletter on the side to a publisher who does consulting on the side. “The news on the site is a selection of curated news that’s written elsewhere, press releases, guest articles,” she says. Santa Cruz Tech Beat soon expanded its purview and began covering the tech sector not only throughout Santa Cruz County but in Monterey and San Benito counties as well. Since then, the site has brought into sharper focus the nature of

tech around the Monterey Bay, chronicling the rise of several hubs of activity—genomics, stemming from the Genomics Institute at UCSC; adventure sports and gaming; and agricultural tech. With companies such as Plantronics and Fullpower Technologies, Santa Cruz has a stake in wearable tech. Overall, it’s a thriving community that ties together the biggest players in Santa Cruz’s tech economy, from UCSC to Cruzio to ProductOps and Looker to Santa Cruz New Tech MeetUp. Doug Erickson of New Tech MeetUp says that Isenberg and Tech Beat provide a valuable bridge in the town’s tech ecosystem. He points to studies that list critical components like institutions of higher learning, municipal support, angel investors, mentor businesspeople, and incubator businesses. “You have to have all those components >16

A precarious environmental situation is proving difficult to resolve after a fishing boat ran aground on the rocks just north of Natural Bridges State Beach over the weekend. Rough overnight surf on Sunday complicated efforts to minimize diesel leaks from the 56-foot commercial fishing boat. The boat, named “Pacific Quest” and registered in San Diego, was filled with about 1,200 gallons of diesel when the wreck was reported around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, according to Coast Guard reports. While spill containment and salvage operations were ongoing Monday morning, it appears that about 200 gallons of diesel leaked into the waters near the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Coast Guard spokesperson Sarah Wilson says. “They’re still trying to pinpoint exactly how much,” Wilson says.

A unified crew of government responders was able to seal the leak on Sunday, containing the remaining 680 gallons on board. “We’re hoping, with conditions throughout the day, that stays sealed,” she adds. A man and his dog were on the boat when it ran aground. The pair were uninjured and able to walk to shore during low tide, Wilson says. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines a small diesel spill as 500-5,000 gallons. Fuel from fishing boats, the agency’s website says, often disperses or evaporates quickly, avoiding the thicker pools of fuel that can result from oil spills. The incident occurred near UCSC’s Seymour Marine Discovery Center, where a spokesperson said that researchers and staff are focused on supporting a large team of local, state and federal responders. They’re working alongside contractor Parker Diving and Salvage to

remove the remaining fuel, batteries and other potential contaminants. Response teams worked to contain the fuel on Sunday before the boat broke apart due to rough surf conditions overnight. Crews were expected to continue working at low tide on Monday evening to remove remaining fuel and batteries, including personnel from NOAA, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR), Monterey County and the Santa Cruz Fire Department, according to a public statement. “Fortunately, it doesn’t happen often,” Wilson says. “We work together regularly and drill for these things.” Two years ago, O’Neill Sea Odyssey Executive Director Dan Haifley recalls, another wreck occurred when a sailboat ran aground near Seabright Beach. The boat was hauled and the owner was fined.

More concerning, Haifley says, is a rise in incidents over the last several years involving so-called “panga” fishing boats common in developing countries. A March 2014 report by the Santa Cruz Sentinel tallied 70 panga boats seized in California in a six-month span alone, many thought to be transporting marijuana from Mexico, including three vessels in the Santa Cruz area. “Those are boats operated by people with little experience, often moving drugs for the cartels,” Haifley said. “It’s become a major Coast Guard problem and expense.” The boat that ran aground Sunday near Natural Bridges was previously affiliated with San Diego deep-sea sport fishing company Fisherman’s Landing, online records show. A staff member who answered the phone Monday at the fishing tour company said the vessel had not been operating with the business for several years. LAUREN HEPLER

and then in Ireland, she says that she feels a responsibility and passion for the meaningful work that she does within the community. “We have the capacity to accommodate many people regardless of ability,” Hobley says. “If I went to Norway or South Africa, I know I’d have a place to stay there. It’s amazing in that aspect.” The houses, named House of Ishi, Linden, Siiwiini, Marimi, Aulinta, Sunrose, Chrysalis and Evergreen, are each part of the Camphill Communities assisted living network, a California subcategory of the large international Camphill movement founded by Austrian pediatrician and teacher Dr. Karl König. König was influenced by the teachings of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy and the Waldorf education. Camphill residents begin each morning with readings, often from the Bible (though the community itself has no religious affiliation), followed by a community breakfast consisting of homemade bread

or granola, freshly picked fruit or veggie and egg scrambles. They enjoy three meals together daily, each one homemade from their fresh garden produce. “To break bread or have a meal together is a bit of a foreign concept these days,” Hobley says. “Every meal we make, we cook together, we eat together, we talk together.” While it may sound like a dreamy vacation for anyone, the residents don’t get to do exactly what they want all the time. They’re on a somewhat rigid set schedule as they give back to their little community. Camphill also hosts festivals to celebrate holidays and the seasons. They include plays and singing, readings, dancing, and music. While it’s different for each community, the Santa Cruz Camphill relies on 80 percent state funding and the rest is donationsbased. Families of those at Camphill do not have to pay for care, though many donate in some way, be it by volunteering their time or with financial support. For the staff co-workers, working in Camphill comes with free room and board, meals, and chances to make new friends and

experience new places. Many co-workers will make their way to other Camphill communities around the world, staying in one place for a year or two and then moving on. Through the Camphill Academy, co-workers in Camphill communities across North America can pursue full-time integrated studies that can culminate in a Certificate of Foundation Studies or a diploma in Curative Education or Social Therapy. Participation in the academy also makes them eligible for an extended visa so that they can continue their work within the communities beyond standard visa limits. Despite the program’s worldwide reach, many in Santa Cruz don’t know about the community, even though it’s celebrating its 20th birthday this year. Hobley says she’s making a conscious effort to establish relationships and connections with the public locally. In particular, their upcoming farm-to-table event on Aug. 25 as well as their fairs and festivals are a way to celebrate nature connect Camphill to Santa Cruz. “The farm-to-table dinner is really about creating community partnerships and friendships, and extending that to the local

community,” Hobley says. “Unlike other farmto-table events that are maybe a fundraiser or promote a specific farm, this is to showcase how we live and work in the community and how we can be part of the fabric of the local Santa Cruz community and beyond.” They expect around 120 people, and while much of the food is grown on their land, they’re also getting outside help from local farms like Happy Boy and Live Earth. They are currently preparing for the dinner, and as the chickens run back and forth and residents tend to the crops, there is a certain late summer atmosphere around the garden. ”It’s about honoring each person’s abilities, rather than being a care provider or a friend,” Hobley says. “Sometimes when new co-workers come in, the friends know more about weaving than they do, and they can teach them. It’s a really amazing balance.”

for a tech ecosystem to thrive,” he says, “and Tech Beat connects all of those components.” New Tech MeetUp began 10 years ago, long before Tech Beat. And the absence of a site like Tech Beat made Erickson’s job difficult. “It was very difficult,” he says, “to find out who would be interested, what’s the history, whether anyone has tried to do this before. It was really hard to find out any of that stuff. Now, with Tech Beat, we have a record of everything that’s been going on, and that’s a very valuable thing to have.” The tech industry’s relationship with the public has always included a degree of hype, but Isenberg makes the point to say that she is not inclined to hyperbole. “I’m just not a hyperbolic person,” she says. “I’m not a salesperson. I’m really just an introverted, geeky kind of person. When I publish, the focus I want to give is not that these companies have sexy products necessarily. It’s more that they make these kinds of products, and they were started by so-and-so. And what I’ve learned is that even though you think that tech people would value Tech Beat, it’s really the people who are around tech but not in it that are more interested. City and county leaders, university people, attorneys, commercial real-estate people, all the people who have an interest in the infrastructure around tech.” Santa Cruz Tech Beat is largely supported by the institutions and companies that it covers, allowing Isenberg to spend her time populating the site. “It generates an income,” she says. “Not a Silicon Valley high-tech income. It’s not like having a salary. But I’m my own boss, and I can do what I want.” Tech Beat also keeps the breathless “Silicon Beach” rhetoric that the local tech industry has had problems living up to in check. “We are what we are,” says Isenberg of Santa Cruz County’s tech community, downplaying any notion that Santa Cruz might become some Next Big Thing in tech. “It’s up to individuals to start companies. I don’t think all of a sudden something big is going to happen locally. We have an ecosystem here.”

The Da Vinci Mindset

BY WALLACE BAINE

“In order to be a great artist, you simply have to be a great artist. There’s nothing to learn. You’re all wasting your time. Go home.” — Artist Marvin Bushmiller (played by Santa Cruz native Adam Scott) speaking to art school students in Terry Zwigoff’s ‘Art School Confidential’

espite Mona Lisa, despite The Last Supper, despite Vitruvian Man and The Virgin of the Rocks, it’s possible that the most impressive creative expressions of Leonardo da Vinci have been lost in the mists of time. In the late 15th century, Leonardo served as a producer of theatrical pageants in the court of the Duke of Milan. From set design to costumes to music, Leonardo did it all, creating

phantasmagoric shows that we can barely imagine today. As related in Walter Isaacson’s best-selling 2016 biography Leonardo da Vinci, in one production, a mountain is cleaved in half to expose Hades where a dozen devils are making hellish noises with pots. As Leonardo wrote in his notebooks about the set piece, “Here will be Death, the Furies, ashes, many naked children weeping; living fires made of various colors. Dances follow.” Because YouTube was 500 years too late to catch the moment, and because paintings generally last for centuries, today we tend to think of Leonardo primarily as a painter. But he could never be contained by such a limiting term. He was the ultimate hyphenate, a mind of astounding curiosity and resourcefulness who paid no heed to arbitrary lines

drawn between art and science, aesthetics and engineering, or any other category of human endeavor. UCSC’s Dean of the Arts Division Susan Solt would be the first to tell you that Leonardo is overused as a symbol for restless genius. But she’s using him nevertheless as a tool to reconfigure arts education. Solt has designed an approach that she calls the “Da Vinci Mindset,” that she hopes will lead to a revolution in how higher education trains creative people. The idea is not to sell students the ridiculous notion that anyone can become like Leonardo, but instead that Leonardo’s creativity was a function of his engagement with the world, that he was a creative entrepreneur. Historically, the e-word doesn’t go down well with artists. Entrepreneur is too mercenary, transactional and

“I’m using the word to subvert the word. Business entrepreneurs will say, ‘What’s an artist entrepreneur? What does that even mean?’ Well, that’s what artists do. We are serial entrepreneurs.” - SUSAN SOLT <20 commercial. For some, it derives from the French for “selling out.” “Of course, I’m going to use the word,” says Solt, who had a long career at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts)—and before that, as a Hollywood film producer. “That’s our word. I’m just taking it back.” To drive her point home, she refers to the Oxford English Dictionary. Sure enough, there it is, the original meaning of entrepreneur: “The director or manager of a public musical performance.” “That term might upset people,” says Solt. “But I’m using the word to subvert the word. Business entrepreneurs will say, ‘What’s an artist entrepreneur? What does that even mean?’ Well, that’s what artists do. We are serial entrepreneurs. Artists have always had to create their own opportunities. There’s nothing new in all this at all. It’s just owning what we do and getting credit for it.” Calling Leonardo an entrepreneur isn’t some slick marketing metaphor. It’s the literal truth.

ART SCHOOL TABOOS Whether you’ve been to art school or not, you know the cliché: Art school is a place that crushes idealism, rewards flattery and fetishizes commercial success while pretending to sneer at it. Even in the best case scenario, art school can often provide intensive training in technique and form while also leaving its charges ill-equipped to deal with the world after graduation. Designer Shannon Scrofano got her degree at CalArts, and

now teaches there. Her time as a student, she says, was often a kind of monastic deep-dive that ignored the world outside. “As far as I could see, it was, ‘come spend three or four years of your life hunkered down in the most self-absorbed but still productive process in doing what you do.’ But all you had on the other side was your portfolio,” she says. “Concrete professional development was not super present in art schools.” Then she took a class from Solt in creative entrepreneurship, a pioneering course that violated a lot of art school taboos. It talked about jobs, the market, branding, careers. Solt asked her students to write letters to older artists that they would like to emulate, to look at the professional journeys of artists who have gone before them, to envision what the next decade of their lives might look like. “No one was even remotely asking those kinds of questions,” says Scrofano. Inspired by the approach of a nonprofit called Creative Capital— which provides mentoring, project funding and other services to aspiring artists—Solt went looking to carve out a new path between hidebound art schools and the demands of the free market. And she was not shy about throwing elbows when she had to. “There has been an antipathy to actually discussing art as a moneymaking enterprise,” she says. “It’s so frustrating, because there’s been this destructive linking between the notion that if you think about making money as an artist that you’re somehow compromising your

<22 integrity, and your artistry. That’s been perpetuated by a desire to stay pure and make sure we don’t train commercial artists or turn our art schools into vocational schools. There’s this built-in terror that it will subvert the vision of the artist.” Solt’s credo is not to convince her students to create art that will sell in the market; it’s to figure out a way to sell the art that they want to make. It’s not how to appeal to mass, lowest-common-denominator taste, but how to find a sustainable audience for your idiosyncratic work. “I have never tried to dictate content or aesthetic. You can have the most wild, out-there aesthetic. But you still have to have a constituency,” she says.

Before coming to CalArts, Solt had built a fine career as a film producer, beginning with Sophie’s Choice—among her duties was to help Meryl Streep with her Polish dialect. After that she enjoyed a productive period working alongside director Alan Pakula. (Among the films the two made together was the Harrison Ford thriller Presumed Innocent). In Solt’s view, the film producer is the ultimate creative entrepreneur, the person who takes a specific artistic vision and makes it work in the real world. Artists have to be their own director and their own producer. She figured that art schools were doing well in creating the directors, but were ignoring the producer part. But in her role as dean at CalArts, she had come to a professional crossroads. Her plans, based on the Creative Capital model, were more ambitious than the institution was

willing to support. With costs of higher education spiraling into the stratosphere, she also began to feel a moral pinch. “I could no longer justify to myself that I was the one out there hawking that education with the price tag that it had,” she says. The job at UCSC came by happenstance. She saw an ad in an academic journal for the position of dean of the Arts Division. Feeling stymied at CalArts, she responded to the ad. She told herself, “If they have what I want, I want to go with them.” With tuition in the UC system about a quarter of what it is at the private CalArts, her qualms about student finances were quieted. In the hiring process, she pushed her convictions about creative entrepreneurship. She got the job. In the summer of 2016, Solt was introduced as the new dean of the Arts Division.

WINNING OVER CRITICS Before and after coming to UCSC, Solt has been an evangelist for creative entrepreneurship and the embrace of branding and marketing that it entailed. She was recognized as a pioneer in the approach and may have been the first to teach a creative entrepreneurship class. In 2015, The Atlantic published an article by writer William Deresiewicz that Solt took to be an example of backlash to her ideas. “It’s hard to believe,” Deresiewicz wrote of creative entrepreneurship, “that the new arrangement will not favor work that’s safer; more familiar, formulaic, user-friendly, eager to please—more like entertainment, less like art.”

THE DA VINCI MINDSET fundamental questions like “Who am I as an artist?” and “What do I want to say in the world?” Last spring, Solt began her initiative at UCSC in earnest with a lecture series that brought in a wide variety of guest artists including Apple creative director Rick Vargas and arts producer Margaret Wolfson, whose lecture was titled Branding Matters. With Wolfson’s help, Solt has branded the new approach at UCSC as Artist21, and has created an internship program to create opportunities in entertainment, tech and other industries. The lecture series was co-taught by Nada Miljkovic, a Crown College instructor who has begun an entrepreneurial initiative of her own at UCSC. She runs the Summer Entrepreneurial Academy and plans to teach an entrepreneurial class in the fall. “When I heard about what [Solt] was doing, I was excited because it’s totally in alignment to what I was pitching and creating,” says Miljkovic. In the classroom, Solt draws lessons from Leonardo’s life as articulated in the Isaacson biography. They include curiosity, retaining a childlike sense of wonder, thinking visually, collaborating, indulging fantasy and going down rabbit holes. “Look, I believe in ‘Follow Your Bliss.’ I tell everyone, ‘start with your authentic values, follow your bliss.’ But have a plan. Learn how to write grants. Be curators. Think of other avenues where your values are enhanced. Find that person who shares your tastes. Look at yourself and create a career plan, apply those principles, whether you’re making art, or writing a book, or getting a job in the ballet. There isn’t an artist who has ever been successful who does not understand their market.” “She has conviction and it’s contagious,” said Shannon Scrofano of Solt in the classroom. “She believes in you. If you work hard, show up and activate your brain, she’ll be one of your greatest champions in the whole world. And that’s really powerful.”

Solt rebuts that argument by pointing again to Leonardo: “[Deresiewicz] was instrumentalizing something that I think is a mindset, and I teach it as the Da Vinci mindset: be imaginative, be engaged in the world and see where your imagination has value. There are art critics who think that Leonardo did a terrible disservice to himself by being interested in science and engineering and doing all those pageants. They say, ‘Well, think of the paintings that were lost to the future because Leonardo’s time was squandered.’ Why instrumentalize a great artist’s choices and decisions by imposing our values on him?” Deresiewicz is now writing a book about how artists make a living in the modern world. “My position has changed a bit since I wrote that article,” he says. “Among the many other reasons for that is because I had a good conversation with Susan Solt.” Deresiewicz and Solt are not mutual antagonists when it comes to art. For example, they both seem quite happy to dance on the grave of the outdated notion of the artist as the divinely inspired solitary genius. But in his Atlantic piece, Deresiewicz copped to a suspicion that creative entrepreneurship was “the final triumph of the market and its values.” He said that he really just wants to draw distinctions between artists trying to find their place in the market and cynical opportunists who might slap an image of the Mona Lisa on a Louis Vuitton handbag and call themselves artists. “We need to acknowledge the presence of money in art, so we can be vigilant about it,” he says. “And so we can tell the difference between work that has integrity but still needs to sell for something so that the artist can continue to make work, and art that is not art at all but just a surrender to the market.” He admits now that “Solt’s position falls on the good side of this.” He cites her impulse to begin her creative entrepreneurship classes with lots of introspection, to get her students to address

contemporary drama written by David Ives. It’s a rousing closer to a season that has trained its sights on the politics of desire, gender, and power in many diverse, unruly forms. Playwright Ives is familiar to SCS audiences as the author of The Liar, adapted from a 17th Century French

farce. The SCS production of The Liar (back when it was still Shakespeare Santa Cruz) was one of the most uproarious in the company’s history. In addition to his own original plays, Ives’ specialty is adapting the work of comic authors of previous centuries, like Moliere and Mark Twain.

But with Venus in Fur, Ives’ source material is an 1870 novella by Austrian literary figure Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (the man who put the “M” in S&M). And instead of simply adapting Masoch’s story for the stage, Ives whips up (sorry), a clever bracketing device about a

It’s a seductive chamber piece for two actors and four voices as the actress and director go in and out of character, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and simmering, centuries-old tensions between the sexes bubble to the surface.

a mysteriously seductive authority. And Thomas (also reading from the script) appears to respond with the same awe as his protagonist in the play, finally begging for her “delicious cruelty,” which he/they confuse with love. And this is just the beginning, as the dynamic bounces back and forth between them: mistaking love for power, kinks for passion, and wondering who is auditioning whom (and for what). In the late innings leading up to the corker of a finale, canny Vanda gets Thomas to switch parts, reading each other’s lines, adding extra layers to Ives’ study on the nature of “male” vs. “female.” The play asks a lot of its two actors, but, they are up to the task. Ibsen (so terrific as Berowne in this season’s Love’s Labour’s Lost) anchors the story as Thomas’ sober irritability morphs into something much more revealing. And Gonzalez is riotously entertaining as Vanda, especially in her quicksilver changes from patrician countess to gauche and giddy modern Millennial. The onstage rack crammed with B. Modern’s vivid period-inspired pieces (frock coats, fluffy skirts) is a great touch to help the characters act out their fantasies. Lighting Designer Kent Dorsey and Sound Designer Rudy Ortega team up to produce precisely-applied storm effects that light up the grove in eerie splendor. It’s a charged evening of theater in every respect. The Santa Cruz Shakespeare production of ‘Venus In Fur’ plays in repertory through Sept. 2 at The Grove in Delaveaga Park.

frazzled theatrical director and a ditzy actress late for an audition reading through a modern play based on the Masoch story—and confronting all the sex/control issues it raises. It’s a seductive chamber piece for two actors and four voices as the actress and director go in and out of character, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and simmering, centuries-old tensions between the sexes bubble to the surface. Directed with sharp-witted aplomb by Raelle Myrick-Hodges, the story begins as that ferocious storm is raging outside at the end of a long day of fruitless auditions for Thomas (Brian Ibsen). He’s planning to direct a production of his own new play, based on the Masoch story, but all depends on finding the right actress to play the female lead—an elegant countessturned-dominatrix. As Thomas complains to his fiancée on his cell, all he’s seen are flighty “idiot actresses” who are unable to play “sexy, classy women.” Enter Vanda (Maria Gabriela Rosado Gonzalez)—rain-soaked, and three hours late for her audition— who threatens to live up to every one of Thomas’ prejudices. She’s exuberantly profane, strewing F-bombs like rose petals in her wake, pushy, and given to raucous belly-laughs. And when he tries to send her packing, she cries. Too weary to resist, he agrees to read a scene with her. But something transformative happens when Vanda steps into the role of the countess. Her ditziness disappears, and, along with her “continental” accent, she acquires

MUSIC

WE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE Multi-instrumental master and piano teacher’s pet John Jorgenson plays Sunday at the Kuumbwa.

AUGUST 15-21, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Best Practices

Multi-instrumentalist John Jorgenson proves your piano teacher was right BY CAT JOHNSON

hile most of us didn’t take music lessons as seriously as our parents and teachers might have liked, John Jorgenson says he actually liked practicing as a kid. “I understood that if I wanted to play something, I had to practice it,” he says. “I could see that if I did, I would get better. A lot of times, young kids who don’t practice don’t ever feel the satisfaction of getting better, which makes it not so horrible to practice.” Apparently, the rest of us should have listened, because Jorgenson’s efforts appear to have paid off. He’s now a master multi-instrumentalist

who plays mandolin, mandocello, Dobro, pedal steel, piano, upright bass, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone. Oh yeah, and he’s a world-class guitarist, who travels the world performing with the likes of Elton John, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt. Of course, Jorgenson had a bit of a head start—his mom was a piano teacher and his dad was a music teacher at the University of Redlands. He started playing piano at age 4, studied classical piano until he was 13, picked up the clarinet at 8 and the guitar at 12. “The people I was around were much better and more advanced than

I was,” he says. “I always strived to be up at that level. I’m still striving to be at a higher level than I am now.” For Jorgenson, the goal of practicing is not to impress audiences with technical chops. He aims to put thoughts and feelings across musically, and doesn’t want lack of technique to get in the way. “In order to have enough skill to translate what you hear in your mind instantly to the instrument, you have to be really proficient,” he says. “Anything you play is part of either a scale or arpeggio. If you can play all of those up and down, in your sleep, as fast as you want, when you get to the place where

you’re trying to improvise, or play with feeling off the top of your head, you don’t get interrupted by technical problems.” When artists are interrupted by lack of technique, audiences can feel it. As Jorgenson puts it, they “feel more of your insecurity or hesitation or frustration than the real feeling you want to convey through the musical phrase.” At any given time, Jorgenson is working on numerous musical projects simultaneously, including his own gypsy jazz band, his electric band, his bluegrass band, side projects, studio work, touring and more. On Aug. 19, Jorgenson performs at Kuumbwa with his bluegrass band. A longtime fan of the genre, Jorgenson is rooted firmly in traditional styles and techniques, which gives him the freedom to further contemporary bluegrass in interesting ways. “If I’m going to play it, I want to be able to play it as true as possible to the original style—not so that I have to stay there,” he says, “but, if you don’t have the foundation of anything, how can you stand and move from it?” Jorgenson’s latest bluegrass album, From the Crow’s Nest, is a collection of songs he hopes will “help people see different things.” He wrote the song “If You Could See” for two of his friends, who he describes as “accomplished and quite famous musicians,” who both took their own lives within a 10 day period—a time he describes as devastating. “I didn’t even do the song for a while on-stage because I felt like it might be too heavy,” he says, “but we’ve started doing it and it’s actually been a pretty nice moment—a beautiful moment.” The album as a whole is a reflection of Jorgenson’s finely-honed musical ability and his curiosity about people and music, in general. “I get entranced with a style and I want to learn all about it—I don’t want to just dabble in it,” he says. “I want to learn about the elements that drew me to the music and what the core of that style is.” The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19 at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $27-40. 427-2227.

“When people tell you ‘it can’t be done’ and you can absolutely envision yourself... you find a way and nothing will stop you.” - Bradd Barkan Dedicated to Flynn Post, for all he taught me about encouragement, positivity and business risk tolerance. For all he taught me about the value of every healthy day on this planet. I asked him what he thought about this project being named after him. We discussed it on the last day we shared together, just he and I. He told me that being forgotten was the thing that he really feared the most. Leaving the planet without making a mark…somehow. Well, buddy, you made a mark on my life. You made a mark on your family’s life. You made a mark on the friends you grew up with, you made a mark on our community. Especially, in the end when you knew it was coming, and you still smiled…as much as you could muster up. Two years and two weeks with a two-month expectation was pretty impressive. Hawaii trip, and slid into home base with all you had. – for Kelly and Leah

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND WILD BLUE

Paul Logan plays bass and sings in local trio Wild Blue, which covers songs by acts like Jimmy Buffet, the Eagles, Harry Nilsson and Fleetwood Mac. And of all of the labels put on his band, Logan thinks the typically tongue-in-cheek “yacht rock” might actually be the best fit.

AUGUST 15-21, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I think it’s a reflection of just how much somebody like Jimmy Buffett has had to do with the success of having feelgood music about piña coladas and cheeseburgers,” Logan says. “This is not politically relevant stuff. It’s just feelgood music, and that’s all it is.”

The music is also really challenging to play, and relies on near-pristine vocal harmonies. “We play songs that no one else plays, because they take too much work,” Logan says. “People come and hear us and they go ‘Wow, I remember that song, I love that song. I haven’t heard it in 20 years.’ Then they throw 50 bucks in our tip jar.” Logan waited five years for bandmates John Tindel (guitar/vocals) and Scott Slaughter (keys/vocals) to become available, because he considered them phenomenal vocalists. Now the band is playing a farewell show for Tindel, who’s moving away. They haven’t played locally in recent years because they get booked so often for high-end corporate gigs in Monterey. But for this special occasion, they return to Michael’s on Main. They plan to continue only if they can find someone of Tindel’s caliber to replace him.

PARSONSFIELD A band that got its start playing the folk music club at the University of Connecticut, Parsonsfield is a self-described “multi-genre” outfit with an indie-rock-meets-folk-rock sound that brings to mind Iron and Wine and the Decemberists. Boasting catchy hooks, lush and clever instrumentation, thoughtful and open-hearted lyrics, and a passionate delivery, the band gracefully blends roots and indie styles, rising above the noise of a crowded genre to present something immediately engaging and fresh. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

BLUE SUMMIT Blue Summit is a fast-rising sensation on the Northern California bluegrass scene and beyond. Led by AJ Lee, a Turlock-raised and one-time Santa

Cruzan mandolin player, vocalist and bandleader, the outfit has long been part of the scene—in large part because the member grew up in and around bluegrass festivals. Drawing from traditional bluegrass, as well as swing, folk, rock, soul and old-time music, Blue Summit is garnering critical praise for its first album, Sweet Company, and establishing a loyal base of fans who understand that they’re witnessing the rise of one of the next great acts of the genre.

SALES A lot of indie-pop bands go for a large, dreamy sound with pulsating moodiness that sweeps you away before you even get a chance to make out the lyrics. Florida group Sales writes songs that could very well take this approach, but instead opts for a much more intimate execution. It sounds as though Lauren Morgan and Jordan Shih are playing their duel guitar parts in the room next to you, with Morgan’s conversational vocals right in your ear. It’s an unpretentious, soft voice that seems

BE OUR GUEST MURA MASA Electronic music artist Alex Crossan, who goes by the stage name Mura Masa, was born and raised on Guernsey, a small island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. A young, well-known producer who grew up performing in punk, hardcore, deathcore and gospel bands, Crossan gravitated to electronic music in his teens and has since won numerous awards and caught the attention of industry giants, including Nile Rodgers. As one reviewer put it, “this child of the internet generation is now ready to make a serious mark on the big, wide, real world.” CAT JOHNSON SALES

SUPER WHATEVR The band currently in the running for best/most annoying name is Orange County’s Super Whatevr. (And yes, they are short an “e” because whatevr, who cares?) Here’s the thing though: the band writes from-theheart rock jams that are a little punk, a little ’90s alt-rock grit and just a shade of emo breathiness. The band, currently signed to Hopeless Records, writes some pretty deep songs, and their latest album, Never Nothing, is about how we all deal with demons. Whatever it is, it’s never nothing.

VICTOR WOOTEN TRIO

Robert Cray once said, “All the blues greats took chances and developed their own style. They didn’t copy.” By that definition— and a few others if we’re being honest—Indigenous is one of the blues greats of our time. Since 1998, they have blazed through the world with their fiery blend of blues, jazz and rock. Guitarist and founding member Mato Nanji has a style of his own that audiophiles and music junkies love because, even in his uniqueness, trained ears can hear Nanji’s influences mixed throughout his shredding. This is part of the Moe’s Alley’s “Afternoon Blues” series, so don’t get there any later than 4 p.m., or you’ll have the blues for a whole different reason. MW INFO: 4 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

Bassist extraordinaire Victor Wooten returns to town after January’s soldout Rio Theatre triumph, but this time he’s playing two intimate shows at Kuumbwa. Still touring in support of his recent trio album Trypnotyx, Wooten is again joined by tenor saxophonist Bob Franceschini, best known for his work with guitarist Mike Stern, and Dennis Chambers, the definitive drummer where jazz, funk and fusion converge. Since gaining renown (and five Grammy Awards) as a member of Bela Fleck’s protean Flecktones, Wooten has developed a singular body of work that is as genre-encompassing as the Flecktones, but with a much bigger bottom.

FILM

CARD-CARRYING KLANSMEN Adam Driver and John Lee Washington in ‘BlacKkKlansman.’

Shining Lee AUGUST 15-21, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Spike Lee was woke before it was cool, now he delivers a timely comeback film BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

ou don’t need a white critic to tell you that 2018 has been a phenomenal year for black-themed film. BlacKkKlansman, released on the anniversary of the shame of Charlottesville, continues the streak. Spike Lee’s Cannes winner is oddly merry, quite nostalgic, and an ultimately hopeful account of a black police detective’s investigation in Colorado during the late 1970s. Few who saw Lee’s Malcolm X (1992) would forget the horror of the scene of the Klan riding out against a billboard-big full moon. His treatment of the KKK here is different: It reminds one of a caption R. Crumb affixed to a cartoon of evil cigar-smoking CEOs—“I just love

drawing these guys.” It’s a thrill to have a skulking enemy out in the open. There they are, the real thing, no excuses about misspeaking or misunderstanding. It’s the late 1970s. Rookie cop Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is a laconic but can-do kid who is told he’s going to be the Jackie Robinson of the Colorado Springs police department. After he pushes for more challenging assignments, he’s ordered undercover at the local college’s Black Student Union. There he meets the student activist Patrice (Laura Harrier of Spider-Man: Homecoming). Noting a classified ad seeking recruits to the KKK, Stallworth makes a spontaneous prank phone call in what Sorry to Bother You

describes as “the white voice.” The gang is enthusiastic to meet Ron, but naturally, he can’t actually appear in person. Ron talks his partner Flip (Adam Driver) into impersonating him at the audition with the secret organization. Ultimately, the surveillance goes all the way to the top—to the loathsome David Duke (played by Topher Grace). Together, Ron and Flip learn the rites and the secret handshake, and discover you’re not supposed to mention the “K” word around Klansmen eager to mainstream their organization. Flip is secular Jewish. “For you, this is a crusade,” he tells Ron. “For me, this is a job.” However, through exposure to the KKK’s Jew-hatred,

Flip comes to identify his common cause with Ron. Oddly, in the reallife case this is based on, the KKK plotters were considering bombing a pair of gay bars; common cause seems to only go so far here. Elements of the fictionalization show, as do the standard moments seen in a police drama and the reveling in blaxploitation films. But it’s easy to get wrapped up in this story, thanks to Lee’s force and thoughtfulness. The KKK members are sometimes formidable, sometimes lonely; the only one-dimensional one is a cracker imbecile played by Paul Walter Hauser as the kind of dunce who scratches his forehead with the barrel of his pistol. Lee shows a strange bit of sympathy for one couple, Felix (Jasper PääkkÖnnen) and his wife Connie (Ashlie Atkinson), who are seen cuddling up in bed. They’re sickening racists, and yet the salt of the earth. Over the years, Lee has tended to address his audience as if they were a public meeting. And yet his gambits pay off, as in a lecture by Kwame Ture (born Stokely Carmichael, and played here by Corey Hawkins) on the self-loathing installed in black folk by white society. Even more impressive is a visit from His Eminence, Harry Belafonte. The 90-year-old performer plays an instructor sitting in the style of rattan peacock chair that Huey Newton once immortalized, recounting the grisly details of a lynching. The point of this lecture is to mention that the vicious mob had been ginned up by a viewing of 1915’s racist sensation Birth of a Nation. One definition of double-consciousness: loving cinema while realizing it sometimes poisons people. This is a big movie from Lee, warm and smart. It’s not essentially radical, unless the subject of selfdefense is radical. For instance, it comes out in favor of supporting your local police, as long as they’re trying to hunt down the Klan. BlacKkKlansman has great spirit. Lee doesn’t wear a hood, but he’s certainly a wizard sometimes. BLACKKKLANSMAN Directed by Spike Lee. Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace. R; 135 mins.

FILM NEW RELEASES

AUGUST 15-21, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ALPHA Seriously, what is up with all these dog movies? There was just that Dog Days thing, and pretty soon that movie about the robot dog is coming out. Enough already! OK, this one is technically about a kid in the Ice Age who finds a wolf, but you can tell what the Big Dog Lobby is trying to do here. Let me guess: these two have a bunch of wolfy adventures, we all get excited about the wolf, and then BAM! Turns out El Wolfo’s bloodline evolved into “man’s best friend.” We’re not falling for this, are we, Meowly Cyrus? Directed by Albert Hughes. Starring Kodi SmitMcphee, Natassia Malthe and Leonor Varela. (PG-13) 96 minutes. (SP)

CRAZY RICH ASIANS Ugh, you gotta feel for the multiracial actors cast in this rom-com based on the book by Kevin Kwan. This is the first big-budget Hollywood film to feature a predominantly Asian cast in 25 years, but for some people, they’re just not Asian enough. The criticism over the casting for this movie—about a Chinese-American professor who accompanies her boyfriend to Singapore and discovers that his family is not only crazy rich, but just plain crazy—got so ridiculous that at one point a Korean American actress who had been turned down for a role complained in an interviews about the “loopholes” in ethnically conscious casting. The problem: she herself had played the Chinese character Mulan in the TV series Once Upon a Time. Directed by Jon M. Chu. Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh. (PG-13) 104 minutes. (SP) MILE 22 “You gonna keep coming at me until you kill us all? Is that the game today? That’s a weird game, but OK, I’ll play.” I can tell that’s what Mark Wahlberg, as the leader of some super-secret CIA unit, is actually saying to a terrorist in the trailer for Mile 22. But thanks to SNL, the only thing I hear whenever that ridiculous voice comes out of his face on screen is “Hey goat! I like your beard! I had a beard like that in The Perfect

Storm! Did you see that movie? Say hi to your mother for me!” Then again, I would rather watch 95 minutes of Mark Wahlberg Talks to the Animals than this 10thgeneration ripoff of better action movies about crack military teams getting “the asset” from Point A to Point B. Directed by Peter Berg. Starring Wahlberg, Ronda Rousey and John Malkovich. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) NEVER GOIN’ BACK This debut from director Augustine Frizzell has been called “a love letter to teenage rebellion,” and it certainly seems like the right cultural moment for a slacker comedy about two white girls who drop out of high school and want to reward themselves by chillin’ at the beach for a week. Alas, robbers, landlords and jobs exist to harsh their mellow. Starring Maia Mitchell, Camila Morrone and Kyle Mooney. (R) 85 minutes. (SP) PUZZLE In this arthouse drama, a bored housewife discovers jigsaw is a reason to live. Not, like, the guy from Saw. Directed by Marc Turtletaub. Starring Kelly Macdonald, David Denman and Daniel Stewart Sherman. (R) 103 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 BLACKKKLANSMAN Reviewed this issue. Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace. (R) 135 minutes. (SP) 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) DOG DAYS A character in the trailer for this family comedydrama 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) THE MEG Yes, we all wish this horror movie was about a giant Meg Ryan chasing people around, 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. (PG13) 113 minutes. (SP) 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 family-values 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) 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) 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) 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) TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES Whoever decided to make an adorable comedy version of Teen Titans for Cartoon Network, I salute you. It really makes you wonder why DC Comics characters are so much better in animated films than live-action ones lately. Just the voice casting here alone is genius: Nicolas Cage as Superman, Patton Oswalt as Atom, Will Arnett as Slade, Halsey as Wonder Woman? I’m totally there. Directed by Aaron Horvath and Peter Rida Michail. Co-starring the voices of Tara Strong, Scott Menville and Khary Payton. (PG) (SP)

FOOD & DRINK arrived, due to a computer glitch the day before which required the staff’s attention. When we asked about the housemade raviolis, we were informed that they also were not available that night. We did enjoy being able to partner our dishes of Singapore Hawk Noodles ($11) and Tempeh La La with Gado Gado ($11.75) with glasses of Orsianna Organic Chardonnay 2016 and excellent Line Shack 2015 Petite Sirah (both $8). It honors the fine food this kitchen can make to have wine and beer now available on the menu. I’ll be back to try out the new tapas.

Winds of Change

Windy Oaks adds a new tasting room, Malabar promises tapas, and a fire at Manresa BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he outstanding wines made by Jim Schultze of Windy Oaks are now easier than ever to access in metropolitan Carmel-by-the-Sea. More opportunities to taste. More opportunities to go nuts for the long line of delightful Pinots. And here’s why: Windy Oaks has moved its Carmel tasting room location to Lincoln Street, between Ocean and 6th avenues in Carmel-by-the-Sea. How easy is that? Simply cruising through the charming village at

the southern end of the Monterey Bay you will practically trip over the new tasting room, loaded with the estate Pinot Noirs, accessible Chardonnays, and tangy Syrahs. Plus lots more, including the popular sparkling Albariño. Open every day (except Wednesday), noon to 6 p.m.

TAPAS? MAYBE?

I was disappointed that, even though the sign in the door has been advertising them for two weeks, there were no tapas

available when I went to Malabar for dinner a few nights ago. I’d come on a Tuesday night, when it was quiet in the beautiful dining room, anticipating the new menu items. They sounded great on the “Tapas” portion of the menu. I would love to have sampled the new small plates of roasted baby Indian eggplant, or the Vietnamese-Sri Lankan spring rolls, or the stuffed peppers with potato, tomato and garam masala. But none were available when we

In no particular order, here are the Santa Cruz-baked pastries you don’t want to miss: The kouignamann at Verve, made by the bakers at Manresa Bread. Buttery, sinful. The palmier at Companion Bakeshop, usually delicately tinted with intriguing spice and fruit flavors. Exceptional flakiness. The zucchini muffin at The Buttery, brilliant spice balance, a toothsome tweed of flavors and textures. The light yet decadent almond croissant at Iveta, just barely sweet so that it fulfills your needs for a treat, as well as a breakfast carb. Add butter. Live large. The apple pie from Beckmann’s, available in a mini-pie at New Leaf. Very much like the imaginary grandmother in your collective memory would have made. There. Some clues to start foraging for pastries in our vicinity.

MANRESA UPDATE Another fire, the second in four years, has closed Los Gatos landmark Manresa for the next while. From Manresa’s Executive Chef, David Kinch: “There was a fire at Manresa on the evening of July 16. The restaurant was closed at the time of the fire, no one was in the restaurant and no one was harmed. The fire department responded swiftly to put the fire out. The cause of the fire is being investigated.” As a result, the restaurant is currently closed and we will provide updates as available.” Such a shame. Hope Kinch and company get to the bottom of this latest bit of trouble.

11th Hour Coffee Inspiration is in the name, says the co-owner of new café BY JACOB PIERCE

Love the name 11th Hour. How did you come up with it? BRAYDEN ESTBY: I was reading a spiritual book, and it was talking about the 11th hour, and I was trying to figure out what I was going to do with my coffee idea. I was just starting to roast. This was about four and a half years ago. For me, the 11th hour was representing the present moment. The 11th hour is the moment you pull out whatever reason,

whatever “why” you need to get up in the morning, to get excited about something. That’s the 11th hour.

What are your core values here? Our values internally are all based around communication. One is personal growth work—so people quit jobs often, especially at coffee shops, but it’s usually that they’re quitting their employer or the environment more than anything. As an employer, we want to create a space for our employees where it’s invigorating and captivating and they feel like they’re growing as a person. Customer service is the most important thing. People have preconceptions before they even sip a cup, so feeling comfortable, invited and welcome is a core value. Our overall mission as a company is to spread awareness and expression, so come as you are. Express who you are, how you want to express it. And raise your awareness as a human. Higher consciousness through higher-quality coffee. 11th Hour Coffee. 1001 Center St. #1, Santa Cruz. eleventhhourcoffee.com. Brayden@Eleventhhourcoffee.com.

At 11th Hour, employees serve up their special version complete with watermelon radish, garlic-infused olive oil, nutritional yeast balsamic glaze, and a little salt.

Clos LaChance Malbec 2014 Central Coast is a lively dry red teeming with flavor BY JOSIE COWDEN

f you’re looking for a beautiful spot to go wine tasting, then Clos LaChance fits the bill. With its lush gardens, abundant vineyards and its lively hummingbird theme— the bird is emblazoned on just about everything—it’s a pleasurable place to visit. Situated on Hummingbird Lane—what else would it be called?— in the San Martin area of Santa Clara County, this family-owned winery has truly earned its reputation as a destination of renown. Among the wines I tried at a recent tasting was a Malbec 2014 Central Coast ($36)—a lively dark purple wine with hints of leather, spice, mocha, blackberry, and fig. Aromas of black licorice, pepper and cinnamon add to the wine’s appeal. Very dry and teeming with flavors of red and black fruit, the Malbec pairs well with dishes like beef stew and shepherd’s pie. Clos LaChance produces an abundance of different wines, including a 2017 Rosé called Colibri (“hummingbird” in Spanish) for only $20. Special promotions run regularly, when a case of wine can be had for $60. And be sure to check the winery’s website for their many events, including music line-ups

until the end of September. Clos LaChance Winery, 1 Hummingbird Lane, San Martin (Gilroy area off Watsonville Road), 408-686-1050, clos.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WHAT PRICE IS FREEDOM?

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Things unconscious and habitual come to consciousness to be released. All things private will be reviewed, especially your feeling about religion, spirituality, helping others, being anonymous and behind the scenes or being front and center initiating world realities. Anything secret will be exposed to the light. Nothing’s private anymore and everything is being shaken up. Prepare for interesting experiences ahead.

The habitual, regular, normal, consistent, orderly and routine in daily life, work and relationships all of a sudden change. What’s confining will be liberated, including ideas and beliefs, separations and love that in blocked. You might feel restless. A new rhythm is seeking you. Consider alternative methods of healing—laser light, energetic medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture. Eventually only holistic healing methods will make sense.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Your circle of friends listen intently to your carefully researched information. They begin to study what you share. They know we must now begin to create all things new. However, a review beforehand is necessary so that the successes of the past can provide a foundation for the future. The new world is based upon the needs of humanity and envisioning a new way of living. These are the Aquarian era requirements. You are one of its teachers.

More and more you find yourself thinking unconventional thoughts, doing out-of-the-ordinary activities that actually begin to describe who you really are and provide you with freedom of expression. It would be good to tell close friends and family that you’re moving into an unusual, original, perhaps eccentric period of creative living. It’s also a time of seeking more amusement, fun, games, playfulness. Unusual attractions occur, too.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

There’s a feeling of “been here, done that” and that “isn’t this over yet?” I guess not. There’s a review occurring with your life. You want to be free of the past and all hindrances. However the past hasn’t revealed all of its secrets yet. More of your talents, your approach to the world and dedication and serving need more self-discovery. You will need patience to get through the coming months. Prayers, too. From your pain and sacrifices, everyone’s liberated.

You’ll return to an earlier interest, work, theme concerning family and home seeing how your history and early life interface with and influence your present. Don’t be surprised if home life is somehow disrupted, if time speeds up and slows down (like the tides), if routines keep changing, if decisions are quickly called for while patience dwindles. Hold all these things within a spirit of understanding that there’s no more normal, anywhere. For everyone, especially you, this is preparation.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Will you be traveling unexpectedly? Perhaps travel is already planned. Know something unexpected will occur providing you with a sense of freedom, liberation from difficult feelings, past beliefs, and that ongoing sense of limitation. Notice as you think differently, those that you meet are also different. Tradition is cast to the winds as you begin to cherish and welcome the unconventional. It’s time to resume a previous study.

A return to a previous place with people previously known has, is or will be happening. You return to a neighborhood from long ago, or think about it to better understand that time in your life. You need new realities, ideas, fields of study, concepts that expose you to the future. Seeking new routines, you might dress, think, relate and express yourself differently. A new life-pattern comes forth.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s a good idea to tend to money and resources with extra care as something could occur that’s unexpected, especially with shared resources. Keep up with all legal matters—taxes, loans, debt. If not taken care of, pleasure and ease could be limited and expenditures multiply. Something unplanned, experimental and unusual will take place. For the good. Maintain balance each day through acts of Goodwill which create Right Relations.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 When interactions or relationships seem confusing or difficult, choose to walk away and ponder upon the situation. Cooperation is needed to understand appropriate actions and how to respond when everything feels limiting. Explore ways that bring about wonder instead of boredom. Explore the impossible, impractical, the unattainable and the unachievable. The outcomes are unexpected.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You are awakening to the fact that you are of great value, something not realized before to any depth. As thoughts of self as valuable increase, all your values change. Without a sense of self-confidence firmly established there is less forward movement because the self doesn’t know what to choose or how to take action. This too will change. Reflect upon what you want your future to look like. Take special care of your health. This last choice is practical.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In the next months and years there will be a greater break from all things (ideas, beliefs, memories, sadness, fears) that have hindered your freedom, self-identity, creativity and self-expression.

The recent news about censorship by the tech giants and now the news that banks are being asked to share everyone’s banking information has humanity at a place of danger and on the razor’s edge. These recent acts of intrusion have me asking … how did we get here? How did this happen? What does this portend? What are our responses? What shall we do? A controlling agenda being forced upon humanity keeps us in a rigid mindset. Without freedom of speech we have no access to different voices and perceptions. Internet technology can be used to help humanity or to control humanity. At present, it seems the latter has taken hold. It is good to review these issues, asking what we can do to maintain our freedoms. Reviewing is a retrograde task. And so, in this potent retrograde season we can work with the planets that are retrograde. Reviewing and assessing: What is hurting (Chiron) us? What

shall we do (Mars)? Are the social media (Mercury) platforms helping us? What structures (Saturn) need eliminating and/ or adapting? What changes (Uranus) are needed? What is to be dissolved (Neptune, eclipses)? And how do we transform (Pluto)? In this last week of Leo, under the blue-white star of Sirius (star of freedom) we are reminded that the United States was created as an experiment in freedom. Sirius, via Leo and Regulus (heart of Leo and the Law Giver), rules the United States. Thus the U.S remains the lodestone of freedom for the entire world. Especially in this time of the Kali Yuga (the darkness is seen) when freedoms are being challenged. These challenges are occurring so humanity awakens, takes a stand and makes a choice. Freedom is the keynote of all Disciples. Freedom is the heart and soul of Aquarius.

S HOPP ER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Manager/buyer, Cognito Clothing Hobbies: Cooking, gardening, fermenting, reading Astrological Sign: Taurus What first got you shopping at Shopper’s? My mom took me here when I was little. I remember the butchers would hand out cookies. It was always fun and I wanted to go to Shopper’s! It’s always been easy and breezy, and they have the best of everything: local produce, plus great cheeses, breads and wines, and they have real butchers who are nice and offer full service.They have it all. Everyone is super friendly and you never have to wait in line. It’s nice that the staff recognizes you and says hello.The hours are great, there’s always parking and people available if I need to find something.

What do you like to cook? Fresh stews, soups, salads, and many things from scratch. Currently, barbecue tri-tip is a staple for us. I’ll often roast a whole chicken and make soup and stock from leftovers. Sausages, ground beef and deli meats are usually on my shopping list, also local breads, salsas, eggs, tortillas, and Annie’s dips. I love Shopper’s always-ripe organic produce, such as avocados, tomatoes and stone fruit. I’ll try some pretty some exotic recipes that may call for outlandish ingredients and usually find them at Shopper’s.Their spice section has great variety, same with their hot sauces.

You prefer shopping local? Yes. I feel that ‘local’ is important to our Santa Cruz identity; it’s always been an independent area. People may forget that you need to shop local, in order to continually keep that vibe alive. If we don’t, the things that we’ve have come to appreciate will just go away. Shopper’s is a good example of our community:You always see people you know here, and it’s easy to make new acquaintances as well. I always talk with strangers in the produce section. It’s one of the cool things that I like about Shopper’s — and Santa Cruz — that we have that kind of openness.
