Autumnal California
BY KATHLEEN KILPATRICK
The solar turning of the seasons
Does not anticipate much rest,
Neither for Persephone,
Her somnolent, dark lover,
Nor for her vigilant mother.
In this moment’s heat, perhaps
Swept up by her passions,
Or the ease of opened fruit,
She’s failed to stop
At just three seeds.
The entire pomegranate, gone!
Thus, Winter is defied…

The Election: Santa Cruz for Bernie Checks In
BY JEFFREY SMEDBERG
My ballot came today in the mail. I signed up for BallotTrax so I'll be notified when Elections gets it and when it is counted at wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov.
If you don't get your ballot this week, call Santa Cruz County Elections at 831-454-2060. You still have time to update your registration or register for the first time.
Here are SC4B Candidate Endorsements for Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisor Endorsements. Last fall our SC4B membership endorsed candidates for the March Primary election. Two endorsed County Supervisor candidates are in run-off elections in November and will benefit from your vote, your volunteering, and your donations. Those candidates are:
Kristen Brown, Santa Cruz County Supervisor District 2, Aptos to Watsonville.
Monica Martinez, Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors District 5, San Lorenzo Valley, Scotts Valley, and a sliver of Santa Cruz.
Presuming that there would likely be broad consensus among our membership on state propositions and local ballot measure, your SC4B Steering Committee chose to offer its recommendations rather than hold an endorsement forum involving our entire membership. Here are the ballot measure recommendations.
California State Propositions
Prop. 2: School Facilities Bond. NO POSITION. Issue $10 billion in bonds to fund construction and modernization of public education facilities. For decades state voters regularly approved school bonds, the last one for $9B in 2016. In 2020 they broke the trend by rejecting a $15B bond.
Prop. 3: Right to Marry. VOTE YES. Repeals Proposition 8 and establish a right to marry in the California Constitution. Voter-approved Prop 8 of 2008, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman, was invalidated by the US Supreme Court in 2015. Prop 3 would protect against future SCOTUS shenanigans.
Prop. 4: Environmental Bond. VOTE YES. Issue $10 billion in bonds to fund state and local parks, environmental protection projects, water infrastructure projects, energy projects, and flood protection projects, with 40% earmarked to mitigate environmental racism. Supported by environmental and labor groups; opposed by anti-tax groups.
Prop. 5: 55% for Housing Bonds. VOTE YES. Lowers the vote threshold from two-thirds to 55% for local bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure. Would put approval of local government projects on parity with school district bonds that currently have a 55% threshold. The 2/3 vote requirement for new taxes enacted by Prop.13 in 1978 is a high bar.
Prop. 6: End Slavery. VOTE YES. Remove involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime from the state constitution. Solves for California the 13th Amendment problem in the US Constitution which allowed the continuation of slavery after the Civil War through mass incarceration.
Prop. 32: Increase Minimum Wage. VOTE YES. Increases the state's minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026 for all workers, with future annual increases. No organized opposition has emerged. The last time voters rejected minimum wage increases in any state was in 1996 in Missouri and Montana.
Prop. 33: Allow Effective Rent Control. VOTE YES. Repeals Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act. Would allow local jurisdictions to enact effective rent control without current severe limitation to apartments built before 1995 and exemption of single-family units. In arguing against 33, Costa-Hawkins supporters point to academic research that shows with rent control, tenants are less likely to move, which we consider a benefit. SC4B and Our Revolution have always supported rent control.
Prop. 34: Penalize Certain Political Speech. VOTE NO. Requires health care providers to spend 98% of revenues from federal discount prescription drug programs on direct patient care. Deceitfully couched as a patient protection measure, it's a vindictive reprisal aimed directly at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for their sponsorship of Prop. 33 and other rent control initiatives. Prop. 34 is sponsored by the California Apartment Association.
Prop. 35: Tax on Managed Care. NO POSITION Permanently authorizes a tax on managed care organizations to fund Medi-Cal programs. Broadly supported by healthcare organizations and both major political parties. Strong opposing arguments by the League of Women Voters, Alliance of Retired Americans, The Children’s Partnership, and California Pan-Ethnic Health Network gives us pause about this complex financing proposal.
Prop. 36: Crack Down on Crime. VOTE NO. Would increase penalties for certain drug crimes and theft convictions and allow a new class of crime to be called treatment-mandated felony, although treatment money would be reduced. Would repeal elements of Prop 47 of 2014 that reduced sentences, prison populations, and recidivism while funding treatment services. Prop 36 is promoted through heightening fear of property crimes. It is supported by the Republican Party and law enforcement; opposed by the Democratic Party and ACLU.
Ballotpedia.org was the prime source in compiling these summaries.
Local Ballot Measures
Measure Q: Local Water & Wildlife Protection Act. NO POSITION. A broad array of potential projects to enhance wild-land resiliency in the face of climate change, widely supported by environmental, Democratic, and labor groups as well as most local elected officials. We advise caution as the advisory board to oversee spending of this general fund money may have limited authority over priorities compared to the local government bureaucracies. Also troubling is the lack of an exemption on this property tax, estimated to be $89 yearly, for those on a low or fixed income.
Measure Z: City of Santa Cruz Soda Tax. VOTE NO. Tax on the distributors of soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages. Posed as a benefit to community health, the tax has minimal potential to reduce health risks as it will be easy to avoid the surcharge by shopping outside city limits. Revenues would go into the City's general fund with total lack of expenditure control and not even a suggestion of spending for health. The tax is regressive in nature, with more impact on lower income residents, and hypocritical in light of the Council's refusal to consider progressive taxes on those who have the money such as a real estate transfer tax. We hate to be on the same side of this issue as Coke and Pepsi who are bankrolling the opposition, but this tax is a bad idea.
Here are my thoughts on voting for President. I offer my personal thoughts to stimulate creative thinking by others.
As a national strategy, I want Kamala Harris to win even though she is a capitalist and supports genocide. If I let my personal anger at her rule and don't support Kamala, I could be sacrificing women who seek reproductive freedom and ushering in a new wave of ultra-conservative judges. There is some difference between the 2 major parties. I am going to act strategically to help shape the terms of the next period of struggle by my actions: I am calling and writing to voters in swing states, and even sending some money, to bolster the campaigns of progressive House and Senate candidates and the Democratic ticket.
In solid blue California, the Harris-Walz ticket will win the majority and all its Electoral College votes. Here we have the luxury of being able to safely vote for anyone. Again, to be strategic and make my vote most effective, I want to strengthen democracy by supporting a viable left alternative party. (Others will choose to push the Democratic Party to the left from within, which is admirable though frustrating work.) The Green Party, which already has nearly nationwide ballot access, gets my vote.

Oct. 7 - Another Unsucessful Attempt to Meet With US Rep. Jimmy Panetta
BY RICK LONGINOTTI AND PANETTA-VIGIL.ORG
At noon on Oct. 7, about 50 constituents of Rep. Jimmy Panetta gathered outside the Santa Cruz County Building. After a press conference, the group went to Panetta’s office on the 3rd floor to deliver their request that Panetta discontinue his support for Netanyahu’s violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
The group’s key request is that he support an embargo of arms to Israel, citing a UN Human Rights Office statement saying, “The transfer of weapons and ammunition to Israel may constitute serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian laws and risk State complicity in international crimes, possibly including genocide."
Below is the poster placed on Panetta's office door after he again was too busy to meet with his constituents.

Update on 3 Bills Designed to Inhibit the Exhibition of Support for Palestinian Rights
BY SARAH RINGLER
Here's an update from Karl Schaffer on three bills that were before Newsom that were designed to inhibit the expression of support for issues in Gaza.
"Unfortunately Newsom signed all three earlier today. All three local California legislators, Assembly members Gail Pellerin and Dawn Addis and Senator John Laird had earlier voted for these bills. Implementation of these bills will surely lead to further attacks on activism for Palestinian rights and opposition to Israel's genocidal campaign, but will also lead to lawsuits to stop these attacks. Already the ACLU of Northern California has filed suit against UC Santa Cruz for its illegal violation of student rights earlier this year.
Some positive legislation we should support are from Bernie Sanders who is preparing bills to block US arms sales of $20B to Israel. Write or call your two US Senators asking them to support these bills.
According to Schaffer, "Earlier this year, in January, Sanders' resolution seeking to apply provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act to block military assistance to Israel was defeated in the Senate 72 to 11. However, California's replacement Senator Laphonza Butler was one of the 11 supporting that resolution, though she has said she would not serve for the last two months of Feinstein's term; perhaps that means she won't take part in votes after the election? California Senator Alex Padilla voted as one of the 72 Senators to table that resolution, which killed it. (Elizabeth Warren also supported Sanders' resolution.)
Here are summaries of the three bills Newsom signed.
The first, SB 1277, is a dangerous bill that would put teacher training and curriculum development about genocide education for grades 7-12 in the hands of outside, anti-Palestinian groups that deny the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza. Genocide education should be unbiased and inclusive. It should be overseen, with the transparency required of public agencies, by educators working directly for or with the state Department of Education. It should not be outsourced to private groups, let alone ones with their own problematic political agenda.
SB 1287 is meant to stifle college student protests by ordering the California State University system to adopt new, vague “codes of conduct” and enforce them in unspecified ways. Such enforcement could well be challenged and found unconstitutional, costing the state boatloads of money it doesn’t have.The bill sends a chilling, implied message to faculty and student defenders of Palestinian rights/critics of Israel, who already face enhanced scrutiny and are more likely than others to be silenced and harshly disciplined.
AB 2925 would require public higher education institutions to train students on various forms of bias and discrimination, but based on unreliable law enforcement data to determine which are most common. Unsurprisingly, using current statistics, it would make optional the inclusion of Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian sentiment and discrimination against both groups, widely known to be underreported – in itself an indication that they need to be included.

Vote No on Measure Q
BY NORA HOCHMAN
I'm writing to ask you to vote No on Measure Q, the alleged fire fighting measure put on November's ballot by the county. The measure is promoted by the Land Trust, an organization with $56 million in their reserves. All of the fire chiefs are opposed to the measure and have submitted a ballot rebuttal explaining why.
This is a parcel tax, applied to every parcel in every city and the unincorporated parts of the county. Unlike many other parcel taxes, the Land Trust offers no senior exemption. It will cost about $87 a year for the measure and is destined to raise about $7million. That cost will be added to the other taxes we all pay, including fire and school taxes. The cost of this and other measures will no doubt be passed onto renters.
I live exclusively on Social Security. Much to my shock, I am a bona fide senior living on a fixed income. With luck, you will be too, if you aren't already. And, you might need a senior exemption in the future. I didn't until I retired from the world of paid work. Now I do.
Many of you are long time supporters of the Land Trust. I understand that. They acquire a lot of open space that is then protected from development. I like that too.
I need those of you who are younger than me to vote No on Measure Q in solidarity with me and the other seniors living in a very expensive community. In my mind, this is institutional grift, designed to bribe cities and the county with money in order to persuade all those folks to endorse the measure; lots of them did. Those of you receiving this message who endorsed it, well, we all make mistakes.

Labor Notes - Items from Oct. Newswatch
FROM OCT. 2024 EDITION OF LABOR NOTES
Self-driving cars aren't really self-driving. A look behind the curtain reveals that much-hyped robo-taxis are actually powered by a fleet of human technicians working quietly behind the scenes. A New York Times feature detained how companies have reintroduced the human element after high-profile crashes. But since workers are still required — as well as elaborate tech —so far a robot taxi can't compete with an Uber on cost. 'It may be cheaper just to pay a driver to sit in the car and drive it," said MIT professor Thomas W. Malone.
Ford auto workers from Germany joined striking Tesla workers on the picket like in Malmo, Sweden. Tesla has refused unions everywhere so far, but auto workers are organizing at the company's 12,000-worker "gigafactory" near Berlin. Meanwhile, in Sweden, the world's most unionized country, where Tesla has only service centers, its refusal to sign collective a bargaining agreement has drawn the ire of the entire labor movement. Since last fall, not only are the workers on strike at the service centers, but also the port workers' union won't unload Tesla's new cars, the electrical workers' union won't repair their charging stations, the building maintenance union won't clean its shops, the painters' union won't repaint the cars, and the postal union won't deliver parts.

Rail & Trail Updates
BY SARAH RINGLER
Transportation options offered by the Rail & Trail project make it an important news item to keep up with. Here's a summary but contact railandtrail.org if you want the full story.
Although Rail & Trail do not endorse candidates, they survey them to determine their interest and support. Kristen Brown returned the survey she was sent and responded positively to all questions. Kim De Serpa did not return the survey. HERE are the details.
Don't miss the Harvest Tour, poster above, on Oct. 19 for the Westside scavenger hunt, treats, drinks and activities.
The Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line is a 32-mile rail line owned by the County of Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, California office of Rail Transportation and Federal Rail Administration are working together to implement new passenger rail service from Santa Cruz to San Jose. The new 22-mile service between Santa Cruz and Pajaro with stops in Seabright, Live Oak, Capitola, Aptos and Watsonville is being designed now.
70% of the Santa Cruz County population both lives and works in the county and most commuting is done in the narrow North-South corridor between the Santa Cruz mountains and the Coast of the Monterey Bay. This happens to be the exact corridor that the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line serves. In fact, Santa Cruz County grew up along and around the rail line, which is why it’s no surprise that it serves the densest neighborhoods and job centers in addition to over 40 schools and 92 parks.
Here is a summary of the Rail & Trail recommendations:
- The Rail Trail should stay in the Right of Way (next to the tracks) for Rail Trail segments 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 (that's from Santa Cruz to Rio Del Mar).
- All stops need to be placed adjacent to the nearest cross-street, with direct access from the Rail Trail and following best practices for accessibility and safety.
- We should add priorities for accessibility and frequency to our design standards. The linearity of our rail line already gives us great travel times compared to driving, which means we don’t always have to prioritize speed.
- We should have more train stops. Adding stops in places like 7th Ave, Seascape, and Ohlone Parkway mean we reach more neighborhoods that meet the federal grant guidelines and help us meet our transportation needs.
-
Planning for how Santa Cruz METRO will align with rail service should be happening now.
With the beginning of construction on Segment 5 in June, there is now a continuous, 10-mile stretch of rail trail, from Davenport to the San Lorenzo River, open and being used or under construction. See the Trail Being Built Now section of our website for further segment info.

San Javier
BY WOODY REHANEK
San Javier was Tomas Seccombe's favorite
place in all of Baja. It's nestled in a steep
arroyo 20 miles SW of Loreto in the jagged
Sierra de la Giganta mountains. There's
flowing water, a dam, & 300-year-old
acequias--irrigation canals--blueprinted
by the Spanish padres.
Houses are made of stone or adobe with
palm thatch (palapa) roofs. The mission
was built with rock quarried in a nearby
arroyo; a huge ancient, gnarled olive
tree stands along a rock wall behind
the mission.
150 people live in el pueblo magico—the
magic town. Tomas loved the simple homes,
the lush gardens, & the hand-hoed fields
which were carefully tended where water
was scarce. The people there are humble,
friendly, resourceful.
The road to San Javier rollercoasters
around deep arroyos & gargantuan peaks.
Clusters of roadside crosses remind
travelers of the fate that awaits
distracted drivers.

Santa Cruz County Covid-19 Report
By SARAH RINGLER
The California Department of Public Health and Santa Cruz County Health Department regularly release data on the current status of Covid-19 in the county as well as information on influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and Mpox. Since cases of Covid are still appearing, and there are still vulnerable people, I will continue reporting the graphs below.
The three graphs below were updated on Oct. 9.
The first graph is the Effective Reproductive Number. When the line rises above one, it shows that the spread of the virus is increasing. Below one means the spread is decreasing.
The second graph below shows data that the Health Department collects for Covid from wastewater at the City Influent, for the city of Santa Cruz, and from the Lode Street pump stations for the county.
The third graph below shows hospitalizations.

“In trying to understand how real nervous systems achieve their remarkable computational abilities, it has proved necessary to study grossly idealized models that are as different from real biological neural networks as apples are from planets.”
Geoffrey Hinton, with John Hopefield, won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in developing tools for understanding the neural networks that underpin artificial intelligence. Last year, Hinton quit his job at Google so he could speak freely about the dangers of AI applications, and says that a part of him now regrets his life’s work.

Mexicano Gobi Manchurian
By SARAH RINGLER
Would anyone be so odd as to choose to prepare a dish just because it had a strange name? It appears so. The dish’s name is Gobi Manchurian and I came across it on a menu board in a small, busy, but on the shabby side Indian restaurant in New York City. I was perplexed. The Gobi Desert is the sixth largest desert in the world in northeast China. Manchurians were a group of people who lived in north of China.
We had already ordered and were eating so it was too late to try it. When I got home, I had to check it out. It turns out that gobi means cauliflower in Hindu and Manchurian in India refers to Chinese so it’s an Indian-Chinese dish
The internet had many Gobi Manchurian recipes divided into dry and wet versions. It is a highly popular vegetarian dish and maybe you have already heard of it. I decided to try a dry version from VegeCraving.com from May 4, 2016. It looked pretty good and I was happy with the results. Crispy deep-fried cauliflower florets tasted great covered in a spicy sauce made with green and red chili sauces.
Because of the wide availability of Mexican red and green chili sauces in our area, I made some adjustments substituting them for Indian chilis in the original recipe. Many Californians already have varied salsas in our kitchens and the recipe calls for such small amounts I think you can be creative. Chilis are, after all, native to our neighbor, Mexico. The dish goes well with rice but would work just as well with tortillas and beans.
Cauliflowers are looking lovely right now so it’s a great time to try this. The recipe calls for a finely milled flour from India called “maida,” but our all-purpose flour would also be fine.
Deep fried cauliflower florets:
1 medium sized cauliflower
4-5 tablespoons finely milled cake or pizza flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon ginger, finely minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 ½ cups high heat oil like peanut, avocado or corn oil
Sauce:
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1 green serrano chili, 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
½ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
½ cup green onion, finely chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons green chili sauce, or salsa verde made with tomatillos
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Chinese black or rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red chili sauce or tomato ketchup
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Prepare garlic, ginger, onions and red bell pepper in advance. Mince about 5-6 cloves of garlic and ginger as fine as you can. Then finely chop the red bell pepper and yellow onion. Slice green onions and set it all aside.
Wash cauliflower and break or cut it into bite sized florets. Bring some salted water to boil in a medium sized saucepan. Add the cauliflower florets to the water and let them blanch in the salted water on low-medium heat for around 10 minutes. They should be tender but firm. Drain the florets and place them on an absorbent paper or towel to dry.
Take a deep bowl and add flour, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, red chili powder and salt. Mix all the ingredients together and add water to make a smooth paste. It should neither be too thick nor too thin. Add more water if necessary. Add the florets to the batter and coat them evenly.
Prepare to deep fat fry. Put a strainer over a bowl for the first stop after frying and then put paper towels on a tray for the final place to drain. Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Don’t leave the stove at this point. Carefully deep fry the florets in batches until they turn golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary so florets don’t burn or cook too slowly. Flip them to ensure even cooking. Drain the excess oil and place them on an absorbent paper. Set aside and make the sauce.
Make the sauce by first heating 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic and finely chopped serrano chili. Add finely chopped yellow and green onions, and red bell pepper. Fry on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add soy sauce, vinegar, green chili sauce and red chili sauce. You can also use tomato ketchup. Finally, add black pepper and salt, to taste. Stir, mix all the ingredients and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the florets to the mixture. Toss the mixture to coat the florets evenly with the sauce. Stir the mixture and cook on high flame for 3-4 minutes. Serve.
