OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE A couple of weeks ago, we did a cover story on how the nonprofit group Gravity Water was using a creative solution to help communities around the world that don’t have access to clean drinking water. I remember thinking at the time that this was a very Santa Cruz model; we have historically had a lot of forward thinkers in our community who have developed their ideas here and then taken them international. Usually we think about this “think locally, act globally” ethos in terms of nonprofits or political activists, but this week’s cover story about photographer R.R. “Ron” Jones shows that it exists in our arts community, as well. Jones made his reputation in Santa Cruz

FACT VS. OPINION

4

I was disappointed when reading the “report” by Jacob Pierce regarding affordable housing and rent control (GT 7/4/18). I put report in quotes because the piece, regrettably, strays far beyond merely presenting the facts and letting the reader form their own judgment. Reading the piece leaves one with a strong impression as to the reporter’s opinion on the subject. And, unfortunately, the article goes even further, casting judgment on a public figure— Councilmember Chris Krohn—saying “Krohn implied a new plan somehow changes ownership rules for ADUs—it doesn’t.” We’re not presented with the language of either the alleged implication by Krohn or the language supposedly supporting the author’s allegation, only the author’s opinion is supplied to the reader. In other words, “I'll tell you what to think—don’t bother with the actual facts! This attitude, especially in this Trump era, is particularly unsettling! As the community watches the slow death of the obviously biased Sentinel, many are hoping that the Good Times

shooting arts performances and musicians, but what I especially like about the retrospective of his work at the R. Blitzer Gallery—and Wallace Baine’s cover story on it this week—is that it shows a side of Jones that most of us have not gotten to see. The trips he’s taken to sometimes dangerous places to document life in different parts of the world shows that same need that so many people here feel to connect with a global consciousness. And his eye for the unusual and visually grabbing, developed over four decades of refining his art, comes through whether he’s photographing the AIDS crisis in Africa or doing a self-portrait in Santa Cruz. Jones is the kind of local—one whose work has made a lasting mark in our community, without most of us ever knowing his whole story—that I’m always excited to profile in GT. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

will step up as a reliable source for local news coverage. It is obvious for that to be achieved there needs to be a clearer separation of editorializing and reporting in the Good Times. FRED J. GEIGER | SANTA CRUZ

Fred, the sentence you quoted was fact, not opinion. To explain further: despite Councilmember Krohn’s claim to the contrary, the recent city report does not loosen owner-occupied requirements for ADUs, but rather offers a path to protect them. Nor does the plan mention corridorrezoning efforts, although it does suggest proceeding with the early stages of Ocean Street Area Plan, which was approved with relatively little fanfare four years ago, before the corridors became a contentious topic. As for journalism in the Trump era, we hope it will continue to include holding public figures accountable. — Editor

Santa Cruz County’s Safe Structures Program promotes safe, healthy and habitable structures through special inspections and safety upgrades. Once a building’s certified as safe, owners will be offered relief from code enforcement so their structures can continue providing needed housing and other resources to the community. Unpermitted remodels and structures may qualify for certification. Projects must have been completed prior to 2014, and must be unable to be modified to meet current building and zoning codes, or be otherwise ineligible for a building permit.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

The problem with this nice, clean semi-large building as a twin cinema has always been the location of the marquee.

Do you think the Santa Cruz Wharf needs a makeover? BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Only The Sun Will Outlast Our Panels.

I think that Santa Cruz needs to consider its vision for its own future, and the wharf could be at the heart of that vision. NAOMI BARSHI SANTA CRUZ | TEACHER AT LARGE

I don’t feel it does. I think that there needs to be some repairs, but not any makeovers or large structures created. SHARON WRIGHT-MILLER SANTA CRUZ | ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY

We need to update with the times, but keep the small-town feeling that made Santa Cruz great in the beginning. BEAU SAUNDERS SANTA CRUZ | PHOTOGRAPHER

We’ve earned SunPower’s highly coveted “Dealer of The Year” award for providing our customers with the highest quality equipment and award-winning service at the most competitive prices.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 18 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.” Whenever that quote appears on the internet, it’s falsely attributed to painter Frida Kahlo. In fact, it was originally composed by poet Marty McConnell. In any case, I’ll recommend that you heed it in the coming weeks. You really do need to focus on associating with allies who see the mysterious and lyrical best in you. I will also suggest that you get inspired by a line that Frida Kahlo actually wrote: “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.” (If you don’t know what a bourbon biscuit is, I’ll tell you: chocolate buttercream stuffed between two thin rectangular chocolate biscuits.)

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Here’s what author Franz Kafka wrote in his diary on Aug. 2, 1914: “Germany has declared war on Russia. I went swimming in the afternoon.” We could possibly interpret his nonchalance about world events to be a sign of callous self-absorption. But I recommend that you cultivate a similar attitude in the coming weeks. In accordance with astrological omens, you have the right and the need to shelter yourself from the vulgar insanity of politics and the pathological mediocrity of mainstream culture. So feel free to spend extra time focusing on your own well-being. (P.S.: Kafka’s biographer says swimming served this role for him. It enabled him to access deep unconscious reserves of pleasurable power that renewed his spirit.)

GEMINI May21–June20 Am I delusional to advise a perky, talkative Gemini like yourself to enhance your communication skills? How dare I even hint that you’re not quite perfect at a skill you were obviously born to excel at? But that’s exactly what I’m here to convey. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to take inventory of how you could more fully develop your natural ability to exchange information. You’ll be in robust alignment with cosmic rhythms if you take action to refine the way you express your own messages and receive and respond to other people's messages.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

JULY 18-24, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Self-described skeptics sometimes say to me, “How can any intelligent person believe in astrology? You must be suffering from a brain dysfunction if you imagine that the movements of planets can reveal any useful clues about our lives.” If the “skeptic” is truly open-minded, as an authentic skeptic should be, I offer a mini-lecture to correct his misunderstandings. If he’s not (which is the usual case), I say that I don’t need to “believe” in astrology; I use astrology because it works. For instance, I have a working hypothesis that Cancerians like myself enjoy better-than-average insight and luck with money every year from late July through the month of August. It’s irrelevant whether there’s a “scientific” theory to explain why this might be. I simply undertake efforts to improve my financial situation at this time, and I’m often successful.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Here are some of the fine gifts you’re eligible for and even likely to receive during the next four weeks: a more constructive and fluid relationship with obsession; a panoramic look at what lies below the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; a tear-jerking joyride that cracks open your sleeping sense of wonder; erasure of at least 20 percent of your self-doubt; vivid demonstrations of the excitement available from slowing down and taking your sweet time; and a surprising and useful truth delivered to your soul by your body.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 During the last three months of 2018, I suspect you will dismantle or outgrow a foundation. Why? So as to prepare the way for building or finding a new foundation in 2019. From next January onward, I predict you will re-imagine the meaning of home. You’ll grow fresh roots and come to novel conclusions about the influences that enable you to feel secure and stable. The reason I’m revealing these clues ahead of time is because now is a

good time to get a foreshadowing of how to proceed. You can glean insights on where to begin your work.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 A reader asked Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle, “How does one become more sensual?” I’ll ask you to meditate on the same question. Why? Because it’s a good time to enrich and deepen your sensuality. For inspiration, here are some ideas that blend my words with Cardelle’s: “Laugh easily and freely. Tune in to the rhythm of your holy animal body as you walk. Sing songs that remind you why you’re here on Earth. Give yourself the luxury of reading books that thrill your imagination and fill you with fresh questions. Eat food with your fingers. Allow sweet melancholy to snake through you. Listen innocently to people, being warm-hearted and slyly wild. Soak up colors with your eager eyes. Whisper grateful prayers to the sun as you exult in its gifts.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “If people aren’t laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.” So says bodybuilder Kai Greene. I don’t know if I would personally make such a brazen declaration, but I do think it’s worth considering—especially for you right now. You’re entering into the Big Bold Vision time of your astrological cycle. It's a phase when you’ll be wise to boost the intensity of your hopes for yourself, and get closer to knowing the ultimate form of what you want, and be daring enough to imagine the most sublime possible outcomes for your future. If you do all that with the proper chutzpah, some people may indeed laugh at your audacity. That’s OK!

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 This mini-chapter in your epic life story is symbolically ruled by the fluttering flights of butterflies, the whirring hum of hummingbird wings, the soft cool light of fireflies, and the dawn dances of seahorses. To take maximum advantage of the blessings life will tease you with in the coming weeks, I suggest you align yourself with phenomena like those. You will tend to be alert and receptive in just the right ways if you cultivate a love of fragile marvels, subtle beauty, and amazing grace.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I swear the astrological omens are telling me to tell you that you have license to make the following requests: 1. People from your past who say they’d like to be part of your future have to prove their earnestness by forgiving your debts to them and asking your forgiveness for their debts to you. 2. People who are pushing for you to be influenced by them must agree to be influenced by you. 3. People who want to deepen their collaborations with you must promise to deepen their commitment to wrestling with their own darkness. 4. People who say they care for you must prove their love in a small but meaningful way.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 You will never find an advertisement for Nike or Apple within the sacred vessel of this horoscope column. But you may come across plugs for soul-nourishing commodities like creative freedom, psychosexual bliss, and playful generosity. Like everyone else, I’m a salesperson—although I believe that the wares I peddle are unambiguously good for you. In this spirit, I invite you to hone your own sales pitch. It’s an excellent time to interest people in the fine products and ideas and services that you have to offer.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Would you do me a favor, please? Would you do your friends and loved ones and the whole world a favor? Don’t pretend you’re less powerful and beautiful than you are. Don’t downplay or neglect the magic you have at your disposal. Don’t act as if your unique genius is nothing special. OK? Are you willing to grant us these small indulgences? Your specific talents, perspectives, and gifts are indispensable right now. The rest of us need you to be bold and brazen about expressing them.

even knew where the theater was. As Regal does not ever even advertise what they are playing, the new owners of Regal have pulled the plug on our Riverfront Cinemas. They always showed mostly their worst movies here. Let’s hope some new theater people can take it over soon and move the marquee to Front Street. At least this cinema did not have sound leakage that they have at the Regal 9 down the street. Time for Drafthouse Cinemas to open up in Santa Cruz for the first time with food and a movie, and show what Regal and Landmark are not doing or showing in this college and tourist town. Bring in their unique blend of programming

and showmanship missing in Santa Cruz movie theaters. Let’s hope they don’t turn the place into another rock music club. Some newer films never even play in Santa Cruz. And don’t forget the seniors that enjoy going out to a movie that is not full of R-rated junk. Maybe even our local Cinelux chain can reopen the cinema with their first theater downtown and not play the same first-run junk that everyone else is playing and bring in some fresh new art movies or classics with some local comedy shows. Maybe Netflix can take it over, as the owner is local. TERRY MONOHAN | FELTON

NEWS WHAT WOULD JESUS BREW? Greater Purpose Community Church opening downtown brew pub in old Logos building BY MAT WEIR

CASCADE EFFECT After Tomomi Hanamure’s solo hike to Havasu Falls ended in tragedy, her murder led an Arizona journalist

on a 10-year journey exploring the story behind the violent incident.

After the Fall

Journalist Annette McGivney’s book documents violence and beauty in the American Southwest BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

T

omomi Hanamure had a deep, insatiable love of American landscapes. Hanamure made several trips from Japan to the U.S., trekking across the Grand Canyon, visiting Wounded Knee, and learning the painstaking art of Navajo basket weaving. But it was Hanamure’s deep connection to Western landscapes and Native American history that ultimately lead to her tragic murder in May of 2006. It was Hanamure’s 34th birthday and she was treating herself to a solo trip in Havasu Falls, Arizona. Her adventure ended when 18-yearold Havasupai tribe member Randy Redtail Wescogame stabbed her 29 times. Hanamure’s murder would go

down in history as the most brutal murder ever in the Grand Canyon. Journalist Annette McGivney covered the murder extensively for Backpacker Magazine, where she currently serves as Southwest editor. But even after her 8,600word article was published in 2007, the story felt somehow unfinished. McGivney shared Hanamure’s love of nature, the vast open space of the Southwest, and the Grand Canyon in particular. After finishing the article, McGivney would spend a decade writing about what happened for her book Pure Land, which came out last year. The book chronicles the murder, as well as the stories behind it that McGivney wasn’t able to include in her original article.

But the book also includes a twist, with McGivney including threads of her own history—which made the project not only more personal, but also more challenging. “I thought I was just diligently researching, and next thing I know I’m in a mental health facility,” says McGivney, who will be talking about her book at the Santa Cruz Downtown Public Library on Sunday, July 22. “It took at least a year from that time that I started to feel like I could write about my own experience at all.” From the start, she had felt a connection to Hanamure’s passion and determination. She notes that she might very well have passed Hanamure on a trail one >12

“Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.” This is the directive of Ecclesiastes 9:7, a favorite Bible verse of the local Greater Purpose Community Church, which has big plans for an expansion in downtown Santa Cruz. Pastor Christopher VanHall says the progressive-minded church will be opening the Greater Purpose Brewing Company in the former Logos bookstore building on Pacific Avenue. The group has already signed a lease with former Logos owner John Livingston, who still owns the building. “Jesus drank wine and had a reputation of hanging out in places where people consumed alcohol,” VanHall says. “But for some reason, American churches have been vigilant in saying ‘You can’t drink alcohol.’” After a remodel, the building will have a full restaurant upstairs and a brewery on the basement floor. VanHall describes the idea as more of a community space than a traditional church, although there’ll be literature available and normal church services on Sunday. He explains that the menu will feature their craft beer and mead, while the dining will be mostly soul food, “Southern fusion,” as VanHall calls it. A coffee corner nook will serve as a common area for people to hang out and chat. Greater Purpose is not your typical Christian congregation. The church, which marched in Santa Cruz’s recent Pride parade, already has regular Faith On Tap meetings, which are open to people of all religions to gather and drink craft beer while discussing how to raise money or volunteer their time for local issues. “If there’s something that needs to be done in the community we should do it together,” emphasizes VanHall. While the connection between brewing and Bibles may sound tenuous to some, VanHall notes that monks have brewed their own beer for centuries, so it’s not a radical idea, but rather one that Greater Purpose hopes to resurrect.

day, since they frequented the same places and loved the same landscapes. As McGivney delved further in, she found herself also identifying with Wescogame, the 18-year-old killer, who had endured a harrowing childhood. McGivney experienced flashbacks to her own long-repressed memories of abuse at the hands of her father. Wescogame was a drug addict who came from a broken and abusive home on the Havasupai Indian Reservation. McGivney understood Wescogame in a way others didn’t, since she, too, came from a dysfunctional and psychotic home (her mother, for instance, would drop McGivney and her two sisters off at school while wearing a gas mask). She sympathized with him when she read notes from his school teachers explaining what a problem he was. “I felt a connection to him and felt a desire to stand up for the child that

first person in their stories,” laughs McGivney, a teacher at Northern Arizona University. “I was kicking and screaming the whole way, putting myself in the story. It was a gradual process.” McGivney attributes her lifelong sense of independence to her freedom as a young child. “I am so glad that I wasn't a girl growing up in a home where I was being bossed around all the time, especially by men, and made to feel like I wasn’t capable of making my own decisions. Or that if I didn't allow the men in my life to take care of me, I would be unsafe,” McGivney says. “As a woman, it gives you a sense of ‘I don’t need you to tell me what to do, I can handle this myself.’” It was a similar independence and security that gave Hanamure the freedom to explore nature, especially coming from a culture where >15

he was in an effort to show people that if he was in an environment where he could have gotten help, Tomomi would still be alive,” McGivney says. “When we take people and say ‘He's a sociopath and we have nothing in common with him,’ that doesn't do anything to help stop the cycle of violence that causes people to keep killing other people.” Up until she wrote the book, McGivney’s life had been one of endurance and repression. An avid hiker and backpacker, a teacher and mother, she explains that she was always the shoulder others cried on, the self-proclaimed robotic journalist who does everything to get the story right. “There was a lot of reluctance to make myself part of the story, because not only am I a journalist, but I am a journalism teacher, and I give people bad grades for putting

Most election cycles have their surprises. Four years ago, one of the biggest ones came out of Capitola, where a transient occupancy tax (TOT) was before voters. The tax on visitor lodging would have posed no direct cost to local residents and would have brought the tourist tax from 10 percent up to 11 percent, the same level that both the city and the county of Santa Cruz had approved two years prior, each with little fanfare. However, Capitola—which is one of the more conservative (well, less liberal, anyway) areas of the county—voted against the 2014 measure by a sizeable margin after an opposition campaign formed. The city never clearly articulated how the money would be spent or why it was really needed. Not deterred by the embarrassing showing, the Capitola City Council is pursuing a TOT measure again for the

upcoming November election. This one would raise the TOT up to 12 percent and Mayor Mike Termini is optimistic about its chances at the polls—which may seem surprising, given that the new version now needs to score more than 20 percentage points higher than Measure M earned in 2014. While the first TOT measure needed only a simple majority to pass, the new one needs a two-thirds of the vote. But in contrast to the confusion and ambiguity that surrounded the 2014 measure, Capitola city leaders have this time around outlined that most of the money will go to the general fund, but with 20 percent going to local business groups and marketing. Ted Burke, co-owner of Capitola’s Shadowbrook restaurant, says that could more than offset the risk to the industry. Burke was among those who campaigned against the previous measure, but he’s now a vocal supporter of the new version. He’s particularly

pleased that 17.5 percent would go to child education programs. “As a business owner, who for more than 40 years has made children the primary recipient of our community giving, I have even more reason for support,” Burke says via email. In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13, which among its provisions required two-thirds of voters to support any special-use tax like the new TOT measure. That requirement doesn’t apply, though, to generaluse measures, like Capitola’s previous version. For the most part, leftleaning activists and local government officials alike have long derided the variety of ways that Prop 13 makes it difficult to raise revenues. But 40 years later, it also presents a strange irony in the electoral landscape. Generally speaking, a city government may go to voters and say “We have a detailed plan for this money, and this is how we’ll spend it,” and

they’ll need two-thirds of the vote to pass it. But a local government can also go to the ballot and say, essentially, “More cash, please?” and only need a simple majority. In any case, cities are increasingly strapped financially, thanks largely to burgeoning pension costs. This November, voters from Watsonville will weigh in on a TOT measure raising their transient occupancy tax to 12 percent, and the Scotts Valley City Council has approved its own measure to raise the TOT there to 11 percent. In Capitola, Burke remembers the previous TOT measure getting jammed onto the 2014 ballot by the council at the last minute. He says that this year, the city did a much better job of outreach with the business community. Even Mayor Termini won’t deny that the 2014 effort felt “rushed” and “icky.” “In hindsight it was good that it didn’t pass,” Termini says. “This year’s is a better measure.” JACOB PIERCE

BUILD UP Greater Purpose Brewing Company is moving into the old Logos building. Pastor Christopher VanHall (left) and head brewer Michael Kostowskyj envision a brewery, a restaurant and a church all under one roof. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

WWJB? <11 were the Trappists, who began brewing in the 1600s. Today, seven Trappist monasteries still brew their own suds, with Chimay being the most recognizable to Americans. VanHall says Greater Purpose will even take a page from the Belgian company’s business model of giving back and will split their profits with local organizations working for social and environmental justice, as well as homeless rights. “Giving people the opportunity to ‘pour with a purpose’—knowing every pint you drink goes to a charitable cause—was very attractive to me,” he explains. “One of the most common things that bubbles

up in conversation with nonprofits is their lack of funding.” VanHall says starting a brewery and restaurant has been the church’s plan for some time, ever since selling its Garfield Park location, known as the Circle Church, in January. Since then, the pastor and his board of directors looked all over the county for a building to house the project until their rental agent mentioned the Logos vacancy. “It’s more about community than anything,” Livingston, their new landlord, says. “I really like their approach.” Livingston has owned the building since 1991, after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake left Logos’ previous Cooper Street location condemned and red-tagged.

That forced him to move his beloved used book and music store to Pacific Avenue, where it remained until closing in September. VanHall says he likes that Planned Parenthood has local offices just upstairs from the church’s soon-to-be new location in the old Logos building. “A woman’s right to choose is something most churches are silent on or opposed to, but that’s not where we stand in the faith community,” he explains. The church hopes to open next summer, but VanHall says that date could change. Not only will Greater Purpose need to completely remodel the inside of the building, but it has also only just begun to file all of the necessary paper with the

city of Santa Cruz. The new company’s leaders have to apply for an alcohol license in a town that is already saturated with 260 alcohol outlets—one of the highest concentrations in the state, according to Santa Cruz Police Deputy Chief Rick Martinez. After the earthquake, alcohol permits were used as an incentive to attract businesses back to the devastated downtown area. However, Martinez says Greater Purpose Brewing Company shouldn’t have any trouble securing a license. “It won’t be that hard if they keep it low risk,” he says. Compared to high-risk outlets such as liquor bars, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control defines low-risk outlets as pubs and restaurants. These permits are easier for businesses to obtain because these businesses generally close earlier and offer patrons food to soak up the booze. Once open, the space could be seen as another step in Pacific’s continuously changing climate. In the wake of booming online retailers, the faces of American brick-and-mortar stores are becoming increasingly niched, while eateries are on the rise. Santa Cruz isn’t any different. “Over the last number of years, the growth has definitely been in the restaurant/pub area,” says Santa Cruz Economic Development Director Bonnie Lipscomb. She feels that many local business owners excel at creating unique dining and retail experiences that fit a Santa Cruz vibe. The city’s Economic Development Office is awaiting an updated retail analysis from business expert Robert Gibbs, who first visited Santa Cruz in 2011 and came back earlier this year. As for Greater Purpose Brewing Company in particular, Lipscomb praises the idea. “Its primary purpose as a restaurant and brewery really fits our downtown core,” she says, adding that there will be plenty of demand, given consumers’ changing habits. Aside from spreading the Gospel, VanHall really just wants to turn heads and help people challenge their own preconceived notions—not unlike the message that the church’s original messiah sent some 2,000 years ago. “We hope to be an absolute conundrum for people walking by,” he says. “A church that serves beer and gives the profits away to places like Planned Parenthood is really exciting to me.”

women often weren’t independent, McGivney adds. She remembers that when she was reporting on the story, law enforcement rationalized Hanamure’s murder as something that “happens when women hike alone." “For me, that was so repulsive. I was like, 'What are you talking about?’ Women should be able to hike alone in the same way that men hike alone,” McGivney says. “The problem is that we are living in a world where women are being assaulted in the wild. We have to keep pushing back against this culture that preys on women.” Pure Land was first and foremost a promise to Hanamure’s family. McGivney promised Hanamure’s father, Tetsushi, that she would write it to tell Hanamure’s story and preserve her memory. Unfortunately, Tetsushi, who lives in Yokohama with Hanamure’s beloved dog, cannot read the book because he doesn’t speak English. McGivney had a chapter translated for him, and says that, because he is reeling over his daughter’s murder, reading about her life in America made him “very, very sad.” “They don't have the resources to translate the book,” McGivney says. “I'd love to have a dialogue about it—there is so much about Tomomi that they didn't know, about her life in the United States.” McGivney has created the nonprofit the Healing Lands Project to help youth who have experienced domestic abuse or violence. In partnership with Grand Canyon Youth and Northern Arizona University's Arizona Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative, she most recently took a group of eight on a transformative river trip in San Juan. “It's boots on the ground that restores this connection that’s at the center of who we are as a species,” McGivney says. “It's only within the last couple hundred years that we have become so disconnected from nature, and that might be the root of so many problems, this disconnect from the natural world.”

Ballad of MR. JONES BY WALLACE BAINE PHOTOS BY R.R. JONES

T

here is no music playing at the R. Blitzer Gallery in Santa Cruz. But in the spacious quiet of the gallery, you can practically hear the song anyway. “Ballad of a Thin Man” is one of several of Bob Dylan songs more readily recognized by a signature line than its title. He dishes it out like a snake showing its fangs: “Something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is/Do you, Mr. Jones?” From Dylan’s standpoint, “Mr. Jones” may be some kind of bewildered everyman. But at the Blitzer, he’s an actual guy—Santa Cruz photographer R.R. “Ron” Jones. This Mr. Jones is the subject of a career retrospective show at the Blitzer in the Wrigley Building on Santa Cruz’s Westside called Ballad of a Photographer: 40 Years of Photographs. And, just in case you don’t catch the reference, the gallery features posters on which is printed the maddeningly enigmatic lyrics to Dylan’s ballad.

<17 “I changed one word,” Jones says as he stands in the gallery, surrounded by about a hundred of his prints. With that, he points to the very first line of the song: “You walk into a room with a pencil in your hand.” He changed “pencil” to “camera.” The following line, a reference to a naked man in surreal surroundings, parallels an image of Jones himself, naked from the waist up, with one of Thailand’s most prominent drag queens. From that first moment, it’s clear that deep-diving into Jones’ work is not so different than listening to Dylan’s song—we’re all in for a hallucinatory passage into unfamiliar worlds. Jones, 68, is originally from Houston, Texas, but has been a

fixture on the Santa Cruz arts scene for almost 35 years. Locals may know many of his performance shots from the Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Shakespeare Santa Cruz and the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. But the heart of Jones’s work—the thing that gives his photographs a uniquely haunting, hypnotic quality—lies far from Santa Cruz. As an artist, Jones has a taste for traveling to the places where the cruise ships don’t go, and no one is taking selfies. He and his camera have traveled widely, but clearly he has places that draw him: Mexico, Java, Southeast Asia. The new show doesn’t shy from the barbarity of state violence, juxtaposing a shot of fresh graves

However compelling the images, touring the work with Jones clues you in that the photos are merely portals to larger experiences in terrain that the vast majority of Americans will never explore. In one tight close-up, a man looks somberly and wall-eyed into the camera. “Zimbabwe,” says Jones. He traveled there in the early 2000s,

smack in the middle of the reign of dictator Robert Mugabe. He was there to document the AIDS crisis in Africa, sponsored by a group of American physicians running an AIDS research project. “Idiot me, I thought, ‘Oh, this will be cool,’” says Jones. “It was fucking heartbreaking. Everyone’s dying. Everybody’s got AIDS. And right next door was the insane asylum. You can’t go out into the street because Robert Mugabe is going to arrest you. It was a nightmare.” As Jones tells the story, it’s something of a miracle that he got to shoot inside Zimbabwe at all. On

The Zimbabwean man had told Jones to tell authorities that he was a schoolteacher, and not to take his bag to customs. “Right before we get to customs,” Jones remembers, “he points to a door in the very far corner that says ‘Airport.’ We open it and suddenly we’re in the parking lot. I didn’t walk 10 feet before I met the doctor who was there to greet me. She goes, ‘I knew you would make it.’” Once at the AIDS hospital, Jones walked past hundreds of people lining both walls of a broad corridor, all waiting to see his host, the only doctor on duty. “Margaret, are all these people waiting for you?” the

the flight to Harare, he struck up a conversation with a man from the African nation, who asked Jones why he was traveling. “I’m going to photograph an AIDS research project,” said Jones. The man laughed. “No, you’re not,” he said. “They’re going to take your camera away the minute you get to the airport.” When the plane landed, Jones stuck closely to his new friend. He watched as a German film crew was waiting at a luggage turnstile for their camera equipment. When it emerged, it was picked up by airport workers and carried away, to angry protest from the waiting Germans.

They are all aswirl in an aesthetic that has been 40 years in the making. <21 photographer asked. “Yes,” said the doctor. “I’ll see half of them today. The other half will spend the night here, and I’ll see them tomorrow.” Zimbabwe represents only two of the images in the show, but many carry similarly engrossing stories. There’s one of the Ku Klux Klan marching down the street in Jones’s hometown of Houston, dating back to 1983. There’s the oldest photo in the set, a sand dune shot that evokes Edward Weston. There’s a portrait of Weston’s former wife and most famous model, the late Charis Wilson who lived in Santa Cruz for most of her later years. Jones knew her well. “She didn’t take shit from anyone,” he says with a laugh. “She’d say, ‘I don’t like these pictures, Ron. You’re not very good.’” Jones shows a fondness for artists, and his show is chock full of portraiture of great artists, writers and musicians from poet Pablo Fernandez to banjo master Bela Fleck to composer Lou Harrison to painter Julian Schnabel to saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who grew up in Santa Cruz. “I remember when the saxophone was bigger than he was,” says Jones. He’s also inexorably drawn to religious themes, from the portrait of the shy monk he took at Cambodia’s Angkor Wat to the tattoo of Buddha’s foot on the top of another man’s bald head. He photographed a local bodybuilder holding a head of Buddha from the seventh century, and two young women called the Sin Sisters forming a trio with a 17th-century statue of Jesus. The photographer is resolutely old school in the film-vs.-digital debate. “It’s better,” he says of shooting

film. “It just looks good. You go into this,” he says, making a diving gesture with his hand at one of his silver-gelatin prints. “You don’t go into that,” pointing over his shoulder at the one room in his exhibit that features digital prints. Even so, the digital prints may prove to be one of the most popular draws of the exhibit. They are shots of performers on stage at Kuumbwa, dramatically lost in vividly colored motion blurs. Another themed room in the exhibit features a series of images with models and unusual animal skulls and bones, a tribute to late San Francisco biologist and bone collector Ray Bandar. Skulls, religious icons, nudes, performers, elbow-to-elbow in compelling contexts. They are all aswirl in an aesthetic that has been 40 years in the making. The totality of Jones’ vision brings us right back to the song, as if the images that crowd the Blitzer each can find their counterpart in Dylan’s lyrics. Something is happening here, and even if Mr. Jones does not know what it is, he’s still working at figuring it out. “I got a few more years left in me,” he says. “What I’d like to do is really get in the darkroom and lock the door for a month. I got things I’ve never even printed. I could put together another five books.”

Santa Cruz Shakespeare makes some of the Bard’s most challenging wordplay sparkle in brilliantly staged ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ BY CHRISTINA WATERS

less than a showcase for some of the finest actors working in this country today. Director Paul Mullins (director of Hamlet and 39 Steps in past seasons) polishes, energizes, and then unleashes his exceptional cast on one of Shakespeare’s most

challenging works. Mullins had confidence in what has to be the most diverse cast this side of Hamilton. Good thing he did, since Labour’s is packed top to bottom with extravagant wordplay, historically dated asides, and the sorts of linguistically dense speeches that

can leave lesser acting companies mumbling in the dust. This is a tricky play to get right. But because we can understand what the actors are saying—and because the cunning bits of stagecraft reinforce the words’ meanings—there are no dead spots. Everything moves, flows, and

the hilarity. The stage becomes a master class in dueling dialects, attitudes, and displays of the endless flexibility of the English language. That flexibility is pushed to its limits by Paige Lindsey White, who simply tears up the entire stage as a Latin-conjugating schoolmistress. Brian Ibsen’s Berowne is masterful. Smooth, stylish and unerring in diction, Ibsen is a class act. As Boyet, eagle-eyed companion of the princess, Patty Gallagher has found the perfect part for her brilliant bag of tricks. Navarre’s other conspirators, Dumaine (Taha Mandviwala) and Longaville (Noah Yaconelli) are deliciously adroit. And as feisty Rosaline, Nia Kingsley smartly matches wits with Ibsen’s Berowne. So much disarming and effective stage movement ignites this production that we are charmed just when we’d expect to disengage. Dashing, dancing, posing and prancing, the four men are utterly charismatic. Ably matched by the female players, who relish their clever game to confuse the men (this is Shakespeare), the company is ravishingly costumed by Nikki Delhomme. Everybody looks like a million dollars. Men in linen suits, tuxedos, and silly costumes for the play within the play, women in elegant traveling outfits and glittering ball gowns—all bearing a turn-of-the 19th century stamp. The set design by Erik Flatmo functions handsomely as a platform for endless antics. A musical finale, sung by the entire company, brings the unconventional tale of love, desire, and linguistic pretension to an enchanting close. How we talk about love might or might not interfere with how we feel and how we act. Shakespeare knew enough about this to spark revelation a full five centuries later. Love’s language, in all its depth and silliness, is explored without mercy in this charming production of Love’s Labour’s Lost.

often astounds. Terrific staging from start to finish. The story is quintessential Shakespeare: the King of Navarre (Lorenzo Roberts) has gathered three of his noble friends to join him in a utopian experiment. The men take an oath, albeit reluctantly, to forswear women and retreat from the world for three years. Alas, that very evening the Princess of France and her three noblewomen arrive on a political mission. As you can imagine, the men immediately ditch their pact and fall madly in love. Love letters are written, disguises are donned, and mischief is afoot. Ribald counterweight to noble declarations of love is provided by pompous Spanish knight Don Armado (played to the hilt by Tommy A. Gomez), who is smitten with a country wench called Jaquenetta (Clea DeCrane). Enter a clueless bumpkin Costard (a terrific Vincent Williams), who also loves Jaquenetta. Kudos to Kailey Azure Green as the resourceful Moth. The interplay between the realms of noble court and real world are pitched to illuminate the deceit in each. Over-the-top declarations of desire and distress (Gomez rules!) provide dizzying slapstick. “Sweet smoke of rhetoric!” What we have is ingenious comedy that doesn’t gloss over the nuances of love’s bitter sacrifices and compromises. “All delights are vain,” swears one of the hapless lovers. The entire ensemble ripples with invention, wit, and inspired play. One of Shakespeare’s early comedies, Love’s Labour’s Lost casts its spell with puns, double meanings, riddles, and other juicy language games. High language and low are braided together, each exposing the hypocrisy—and power—of the other. Every word, every inside joke, every crisp consonant was clearly spoken, heard, and understood. No muffled garbling, no unintelligible speechifying, and no amateurish shouting. When the four noblemen, united in their determination to woo the princess and her women, disguise themselves as visiting Russians, ridiculous accents are added to

Romance on Rhye JULY 18-24, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Mike Milosh is putting listeners in the mood with his low-key R&B BY AARON CARNES

26

I

s Rhye the most romantic artist working today? Take a look at his performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk from earlier this year, where he and his band sit around a ridiculous number of dimly lit candles, playing cool, low-key sensual R&B meets ’70s soft rock, with his gentle, falsetto soaring above the music. You will be in the mood. This video may be more Barry White than Barry White. It’s not exactly indicative of his normal live shows, which tend to be much bigger, higher energy productions. But they can really vary, depending on the space he’s in. “I make the live show a lot bigger, almost harkening back to an era of the ’70s,” says Rhye, whose real

name is Mike Milosh. “There’s no formula I do every night. If it feels like it’s a very gentle crowd that wants to be a little more emotionally introspective, I try to keep it that way. If it feels like it’s a crowd that wants to let loose a little more, we try to let loose a little bit more.” Even at his liveliest, there’s an easygoing quality to Milosh’s music. You can really hear it on his slowburner sophomore album Blood. You can even sense it just when you talk to him over the phone. “I think as a person I move at a slower tempo in a way,” Milosh tells me. “I don’t get that angry or stressed out. I’m definitely expressing much more sensual things with my music.”

His music has really developed in the past five years between the release of his debut album, Woman, and his long-awaited follow-up, Blood—which is a crisper, more emotive album. He and his band have played hundreds of shows, touring the world several times over. Going into the writing of Blood, he thought about his band a lot, and thought about what these funky jams would sound like with his band playing them. “I’ve gotten to the place where I’m writing thinking of the fact that it’s going to be a live show. I know what everyone is capable of,” Milosh says. It was a completely different story when he wrote his debut album, Woman. Back then, it was primarily

a collaboration between him and producer Robin Hannibal, and the music was made for the most part on Hannibal’s laptop. The songwriting is similarly R&B style love songs, but doesn’t have quite the tender touch of his new album. As his project grew more popular, Milosh assembled a band for live shows and fell in love with the live experience of instruments. The relentless touring schedule that would follow was a result of issues he was having with his record label. They weren’t moving forward on working with him on a sophomore album. They only way he could release one was if he bought his contract back. To generate that kind of income, he needed to tour, a lot. Oddly enough, the nonstop touring is what cemented his resolve to go 100-percent live. “One of my favorite sounds is the pedals of the piano, like right before you hit a note, you push the pedal down. I don’t want that out. I’m actually saying, ‘let’s put the mics in a place where we hear that,’” Milosh says. The new music for Blood wasn’t even written during that mass-touring time period. He wanted to wait until he knew he was capable of releasing it. “The five-year gap was kind of forced upon me. It wasn’t a lack of content or even a creative decision. It was simply fiscal—I had to buy them out,” Milosh says. “I was frustrated at the time but in the end I’m like, ‘You know what? Maybe it was the way it was meant to be.’” When he recorded the album, he ended up playing a lot of the music, including all the drums, keyboards and lead vocals. There’s some collaborations with other artists, and some other players on the record. But he just assembles who he needs to make the particular song good, and then live he does the same. “I think that’s why I’m not identifying what Rhye is to anyone. It’s like this entity,” Milosh says. “It’s me at the helm, but it’s morphing as I work with different people in the studio that have nothing to do with the live show. It’s very malleable.” Rhye performs at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 25 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $28/adv, $33/door. 429-4135.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

In 2016, local world beat dance ensemble Universal Language played its first show in 6 years. The show, at Moe’s Alley, was a huge success, with the band playing every song off of its 2005 album Revolución, as well as nearly another album’s worth of unreleased material. “It was fun. There was no pressure. There was no ego. It was like everybody was there for the music and to have a good time,” says lead singer Moshe Vilozny. Now the group is doing it again, this time at the Crow’s Nest.

JULY 18-24, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“This will be our first all-ages event in a long time,” Vilozny says. “It's a perfect fit for us. I'm just stoked. It's just going to be a party on the beach.”

38

Back in the mid-2000s, Universal Language was one of the biggest local draws. The group melded elements of Latin, African music, reggae and funk into an incredibly fun live experience. Then the group’s percussionist Pacha moved back to Mexico, which effectively ended the band’s run. “It's not the same band without him,” Vilozny says. But when Pacha is back in town—like he was two years ago, and for this coming show—the band is more than happy to reunite. “Everyone in the band is just a good friend and great musician. That's the perfect combination. Since we get together so rarely, it's just for fun,” Vilozny says. AARON CARNES INFO: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 19. Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz.

TALKIES Is Burger Records a label or a style? Ok, technically it is a record label, but it’s got such a unique sound that it’s become linked wholeheartedly to the millions of young, jangly, lo-fi garage bands cross-crossing the country slinging $5 cassettes to kids who are just now learning the joys of cruising around wearing a Walkman. Talkies headlines this should-be-insanely-fun evening, billed as a Burger Records show. Technically they are the only band on the label (and the band’s

latest super poppy, garage-rock album Kowtow was released by Yippee Ki-Ya Records/Electrify Me Records.) But you get what they mean by it being a “Burger Records show.” Bring $20 so you can buy a tape by every band on the bill (Talkies, Mean Jolene, Lower Self), and be prepared to lose your mind.

Rise Against was one of the biggest and most political hardcore bands to emerge in the early 2000s. The band was formed by Dan Wleklinski and Joe Principe, formerly of Chicago punk rock band 88 Fingers Louie, who tore up clubs in the ’90s as punk grew more poppy and mainstream. The band reunited in 2009, and it went so well that they recorded a new album last year, Thank you for Being a Friend. It’s everything you hoped it would be: No-holds-barred, high-octane hardcore riffs juxtaposed with hooky gritty melodies. AC

and wife duo Hank and Ella are a favorite of local roots music enthusiasts. Along with their backing “Fine Country Band,” the duo takes things back to a time before rock and roll, when boogie woogie, honky tonk and country music ruled the airwaves. This Saturday, Hank and Ella celebrate the release of their self-titled debut album, which covers themes of love, loss, hard work and good times, at Flynn’s Cabaret. CJ

Considered one of the funniest Broadway musicals of all time, the Producers is a laugh-out-loud stage show that raked in a recordbreaking 12 Tony Awards and three Olivier awards. Based on Mel Brooks’ Academy Award-winning film of the same name, the Producers is a romp about trying to pull off Broadway’s biggest scam by producing the worst show ever. Hilarity ensues.

FILM

SIMMER CAMP Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie) and Will (Ben Foster) are a father and daughter whose life in the woods is

interrupted by outside forces, as Tom begins to question whether she really wants to be kept apart from other people.

Wilderness vs. civilization in quiet, graceful ‘Leave No Trace’ BY LISA JENSEN

44

C

omplex family relationships seem to fascinate filmmaker Debra Granik. In her absorbing 2010 thriller, Winter’s Bone, a young woman in the Ozarks backwoods desperately searches for her wayward, absent father before the family property can be seized. The mood is outwardly more calm and reflective in Granik’s new film Leave No Trace. Yet the tension builds steadily between a reclusive father determined to live off the grid, in the wilderness, and the loyal teenage daughter he means to shield from the complications of civilized life. Adapted by Granik and co-scriptwriter Anne Rosellini from

the novel My Abandonment by Peter Rock, the story begins in a lush green forest preserve on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. Tom (a poised and poignant Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie), now 13, has grown up in the woods with her father Will (Ben Foster). A wary war vet mistrustful of the noise and skewed values of modern society, Will has taught his daughter all the woodcraft skills she needs to survive, as they live off the land, under the radar. Their base camp—tent, cookware, tools and supplies—is well concealed under the foliage. They canvass the woods with their backpacks, foraging for food, and make occasional

expeditions over the bridge into town to stock up on necessities like eggs. But in general, they keep a low profile and practice drills in the forest to see how fast they can run and hide themselves should their camp ever be discovered. One day, a passing jogger reports them, and their camp is invaded by police with dogs. They are taken into protective custody and turned over to Social Services, where a dismayed Will undergoes psychological testing (profound existential questions that must be answered “true” or “False”). Tom is taken under the wing of sympathetic counselor Jean (Dana Millican), who is surprised that Tom’s

reading and comprehension skills surpass those of most schoolgirls her age. Still, as Jean explains, “it’s not a crime to be unhoused, but it’s illegal to live on public lands.” Thus begins Will and Tom’s attempt to play be society’s rules. Reunited, they’re given shelter in an empty worker’s house at a Christmas tree farm, in exchange for Will’s labor. Tom finds she rather likes running water, electric lights, and the fellowship of other kids at the nearby 4H Club. But while Tom never says a word about it, we see how soul-numbing it is for this expert nature lover to take part in cutting down trees, lopping off branches, and wrapping them in plastic for the marketplace. Pretty soon, father and daughter are on the run again. It’s not exactly a rift, but what begins to complicate Tom’s relationship with her father is his fierce need to live independently from society verus her budding desire for community. Until now, she’s been perfectly happy being her dad’s companion in their wilderness adventure, reveling in dewy spider webs and wild mushrooms and the glories of the unspoiled natural world. But once she’s gotten a taste for the companionship of other humans, she might not be as willing as her dad to turn her back on them. There are no villains in this story, nobody with an evil agenda; indeed, the opportunities for shelter, friendship, and purpose keep presenting themselves to a degree that feels a bit too easy— opportunities that many “unhoused” people rarely get in real life. But this is a family drama, not a Social Studies discourse, and in that respect, it succeeds with quiet grace. McKenzie carries the brunt of the drama as her curious Tom slowly awakens to the possibilities of an alternate life. And Foster (who’s come a long way since he played Angel in the early X-Men movies) turns in a performance of aching, simmering reserve as taciturn Will. LEAVE NO TRACE *** (out of four) With Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie and Ben Foster. Written by Anne Rosellini and Debra Granik, from the Peter Rock novel My Abandonment. Directed by Debra Granik. A Bleecker Street release. Rated PG. 109 minutes.


FILM NEW RELEASES THE EQUALIZER 2 Denzel Washington is back as the Equalizer, and this time … it’s personal. No, really, I’m not just saying that! His friend gets killed and everything! And then he has to go avenge her death. That’s what you do when you’re the Equalizer and … it’s personal. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, Melissa Leo and Bill Pullman. (R) (SP) MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN It’s hard to make fun of a sequel that’s already making fun of itself, so perhaps “Here We Go Again” in the title was a preemptive strike on the haters. It’s also, of course, a play on the Abba lyrics on which this whole ungodly franchise is built. First there were the 1970s pop songs, then there was the 1999 musical Mamma Mia!, then there was the 2008 movie based on it, and now this second film puts us four decades into people obsessing over a group whose most famous lyrics are “You can dance/You can jive/Having the time of your life.” Enough! I’m not going to your damn sing-along! Directed by Ol Parker. Starring Lily James, Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (SP)

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 ANT-MAN AND THE WASP When I first heard about this movie, I thought it stood for Ant-Man and the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and I was like, “Whoa, Roseanne was one thing, but this pandering to Trump voters is getting a little obvious!” But no, actually it’s like a buzz-buzz kind of Wasp, and she is a superhero who joins up with another insect superhero, the Ant-Man. You would think their superpowers would probably be ruining picnics and making people go “Aaaah!” But instead, they change size and fly around and make jokes while catching bad guys. That’s way better! Directed by Peyton Reed. Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas. (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP) THE FIRST PURGE Get Out may be the best political horror movie of all time, but the Purge series paved the way for its success. The Purge was where Blumhouse Productions learned that a smart slice of social commentary could make a familiar horror set-up into something entirely different. Ironically, the original Purge film wasn’t that great, other than the interesting premise of a near-future fascist America where citizens are allowed to commit murder and other crimes with no repercussions for one day a year. But the sequels have gotten better and better, exploring the intricacies of how such a world would work, and why. This fourth action-horror entry is a prequel that dials the story back to

when the “New Founding Fathers” initiated the first Purge. Subtlety is not the name of the game here, as the teaser poster that featured the film’s title on a MAGA-style red hat should tell you. Could be the best one yet! Directed by Gerard McMurray. Starring Y’lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, and Luna Lauren Velez. (R) 97 minutes. (SP) Co-starring Amanda Seyfried, Cedric Kyles and Victoria Hill. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) HEREDITARY It’s being called the scariest film of the year, and it stars … your mama! Well, not yours, exactly, unless you are Toni Collette. But like Get Out, It Follows and several other recent low-budget, high-concept horror movies, this one is out to make a point about how we all live in the shadow of our family history, as Collette’s character comes to realize after her matriarch mom dies and increasingly terrifying secrets are revealed. Co-starring Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff and Ann Dowd. Directed by Ari Aster. (R) 129 minutes. (SP) HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION If you’re a fan of the Hotel Transylvania series, this third entry delivers pretty much more of the same (that’s actually a good thing). For one thing, it continues to use a backdrop of monsters finding a way to co-exist with humans as a smart vehicle for delivering a message of tolerance and empathy—the series’ true strength. Once again, there’s an emphasis on visual humor and a rat-a-tat delivery of jokes, most of which draw on the unique personalities that have been shaped in the characters, and usually land. But this plot-heavy story of the monster squad taking an ocean cruise is definitely not as satisfying as HT2. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky. Featuring the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi and Mel Brooks. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) INCREDIBLES 2 Normally, a sequel that takes 14 years to make is a dubious proposition. But for this follow-up to the megahit about

a family of superheroes coming to grips with their powers—which is, if not the best Pixar film of all time, certainly in the conversation—I think we’ll all make an exception. Directed by Brad Bird. Featuring the voices of Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell and Samuel L. Jackson. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) LEAVE NO TRACE Reviewed this issue. Directed by Debra Granik. Starring Ben Foster and Thomasin Mckenzie. (PG) 109 minutes. SICARIO 2: SOLDADO Taylor Sheridan is one of the best writers working in Hollywood today. His films like Hell or High Water and Wind River seem very different on the surface, but underneath it all they are brilliant modern takes on the Western. And, weirdly enough, the same was true of his first success as a screenwriter, 2015’s Sicario. A drug-war thriller about an FBI agent who goes down the black-ops rabbit hole at the U.S.-Mexico border, it was marketed as an action film, but was about 100 times smarter and more relevant than the genre normally serves up. Now, Sheridan returns to pen the sequel, which sees the violence and dirty politics escalating to new levels at the border, as Mexican cartels begin smuggling terrorists into the U.S. Directed by Stefano Sollima. Starring Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin and Catherine Keener. (R) 122 minutes. (SP) SKYSCRAPER In San Andreas, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had to fly a helicopter hundreds of miles to rescue his family after they were nearly killed by a massive earthquake. In this movie, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has to ascend a burning skyscraper to rescue his family who are trapped at the top. I think the message is: Kids, do not let your mom marry Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, or you are toast. Not even one date! Get her the hell off Tinder! You don’t want this flaming deathtrap of a parent swiping left into your life, believe me. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Co-starring Neve Campbell, Noah Taylor and McKenna Roberts. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP)

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU Bay Area hip-hop fans may be familiar with Boots Riley, the leader of the group the Coup, who makes his writer-director debut in this offbeat comedy (with sci-fi overtones) about a down-on-his-luck guy in alternate-universe Oakland whose fortunes change when he becomes a telemarketer and discovers his “white voice.” It’s even weirder and better than it sounds. Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover and Patton Oswalt. (R) 105 minutes. (SP) THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS This documentary presents an interesting question for film writers: since the story of these three identical twins who only found each other as teenagers, after being separated at birth, has been thoroughly written about for decades, can there really be spoilers about it? The director himself, Tim Wardle, has admitted he is struggling with this same issue in promoting the film. Personally, I think the best thing to do if you don’t know this story is to go into the movie without reading one single thing about the true story … and prepare to have your mind completely blown. Trust me, you will not believe the twist in what was already a one-of-kind story. (PG-13) 96 minutes. (SP) WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? As creator and star of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, Fred Rogers is best remembered for his comfy cardigan sweaters, his relaxed, soft-spoken demeanor on the air, and the fanciful world of puppets and sing-along songs he created for his vast audience of preschoolage children. But in filmmaker Morgan Neville's skillful hands we see just how radical Mr. Rogers could be, not only in the way he tapped into the darkest parts of the cultural zeitgeist to help kids cope with them, but also in insisting that every child is unique, valid, and deserving of respect. (A message that could not be more timely in the present, horrifying historical moment.) Directed by Morgan Neville. (PG-13) 94 minutes. (LJ)

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 18-24, 2018

UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB The first Unfriended movie was one of those low-budget horror films where the little details get to you at first. Pretty much the whole thing was set on a computer screen, with video-chatting characters appearing and disappearing, and it was pretty distracting how much it didn’t look like any chat room setup ever. But the story of these video-linked friends being terrorized as they were logged on by someone who might be the ghost of the girl they bullied into committing suicide was compelling enough to make you stop thinking about it. The supernatural aspect turned out to be a tad lame, though, so it’s promising that this sequel features a more IRL scenario: while video chatting with some of his friends, a teenager discovers the laptop he found (and

is using) was used by some bad people—who are watching all of them. Directed by Stephen Susko. Starring Colin Woodell, Betty Gabriel and Rebecca Rittenhouse. (R) 88 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK NOT BY BREAD ALONE

THAI WAY Spicy Green Curry and side dishes from Sabieng. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Currying Favor Local treasure Sabieng Thai Cuisine delivers phenomenally spiced classics BY CHRISTINA WATERS shreds of chicken, and basil-coconut sauce. For balance, we split an order of the magical bean thread noodles laced with fat prawns, ground pork, lime juice, cilantro, micro-onions, red peppers, and whole cashews ($8.95). Bite for bite, I’d have to say that this dish is my all-time favorite Thai specialty. A third dish added plenty of texture excitement, roast duck (which leans toward a duck confit as far as I’m concerned) nestled on a crunchy bed of wok’d cabbage and spinach ($15.95). A little container of pickled peppers—not kidding—in a haunting black bean vinegar, comes with the dish. And we splashed it all over everything.

Creamy curry, fiery cellophane noodles and rich duck with greens. All these wonderful dishes went brilliantly with, 1) the crisp, chilled wine, and 2) Sabieng’s outrageous brown rice ($2.25) which must be the chewiest, most delicious rice on the planet. I do not say that lightly. All of the above, minus the wine, was ours for $41. Two meals, and one lunch. Sabieng’s spice-laden foods make even more sense on hot days. Don’t know why. There’s probably a physiological explanation. Doesn’t matter. Sabieng Thai Restaurant—A local treasure! 1218 Mission St., Santa Cruz. 425-1020. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

I

n honor of the young Thai soccer players during their underground ordeal, we decided on carry-out from Sabieng Thai Cuisine. So convenient, so inexpensive—we’ve loved Sabieng since the dawn of time. One of the pleasures of bringing home dishes from Sabieng is that we can kick back and enjoy one of our favorite white wines—Birichino Chenin Blanc is our summer go-to—along with the complex spicing of Sabieng’s classic dishes. So what do we like? Always, always a curry. In this case the wonderful Spicy Green Curry ($10.75) with its slow after-burner of spice, its thick veggies, plump

Change happens. Gayle’s Bakery no longer delivers its signature breads to local restaurants, groceries or other retail shops. Rita and I were stricken when lunch at Avanti no longer provided that outstanding francese we’d come to adore. We needed to know why. So I emailed Gayle Ortiz, founding matriarch and co-owner of the entire shebang. Here’s what she had to say. “Like so many other businesses, we are suffering a lack of all types of employees. A combination of low unemployment and housing costs have made it difficult to find good, qualified staff, especially drivers.” She also confessed that they’ve thought about ending wholesale “for many years even though it was good to have our name out in the community. Plus, we love our wholesale accounts, some of whom have been taking our bread for over 30 years.” Ortiz acknowledged that it was a difficult decision, “But owning a business is getting more and more stressful with regulations and laws being what they are in California. So the we decided to focus on the mainstay of our business … the customers who come in the door each day.” You know where to go to get your fix of Gayle’s breads.

HOT MESS Matt Twisselman would like to remind you: do not—repeat, do not eat

several corn dogs immediately before going on a spinny ride. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Beach Boardwalk Matt Twisselman loves the food vendor life BY JACOB PIERCE

M

att Twisselman has a few favorite times of day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. One is the morning, when everything is calm and quiet. There are also Friday nights, while there’s a band rocking onstage, and September, when the crowds start dying down. And then, of course, there are busy summer afternoons, when the whole scene is bustling with people. “You see people speaking all different languages, and everyone is having a good time. That really feeds me,” says Twisselman, who co-owns four Boardwalk concession stands with his wife, Paula. At their four food stands—Board Wok, California Wraps, Hot Dog on a Stick, and World Grill—the Twisselmans have prioritized real food and fresh ingredients. Twisselman says that on the day that California Wraps first opened in 1997, a customer walked up to the stand, glanced at the menu, threw her hands up and screamed, “Finally, something I can eat at the Boardwalk!” Twisselman, who eats at his stands every day, first worked at the Boardwalk at age 15. His family has been in business there for 84 years.

What’s your favorite thing to eat here? MATT TWISSELMAN: Usually I get some chow mein with some fresh chargrilled chicken, put some vegetables on it. We make our own sauces as well. My absolute favorite is the spicy peanut sauce.

Favorite ride? I love the Giant Dipper. I honestly don’t ride the rides much anymore. I avoid the spinny rides, but when they bring a new ride in, I always go on it, and then I think I shouldn’t have done that three times in a row. You get to a certain age, and you lose your equilibrium.

What’s the best band coming this summer? I love the Fixx. That’s my genre. Blue Oyster Cult is fun. It’s a big draw. I like the big draws. We’re looking forward to Los Lonely Boys. They’ve never been here before, and they’re good.

I just ate three Hot Dogs on a Stick. How long should I wait before I go on the Fireball? At least an hour. beachboardwalk.com.

he second Aptos Wine Wander was a roaring success last month—and businesses in Aptos Village enjoyed hosting the many wineries taking part in the event. Imagine tasting wine surrounded by leather in a saddle-maker’s store—as was the case when I sampled Nicholson Vineyards’ Terra Cotta 2014 Central Coast. Gravity Saddles, located in the heart of Aptos Village, specializes in handmade saddles, some of which are specifically designed to meet the rider’s needs. After doing the rounds of every winery that day, I went back for more of Nicholson’s Terra Cotta Red ($27)—a delicious blend of 50 percent Sangiovese and 50 percent Syrah. A lighter-bodied wine with aromatic hints of ripe red fruit, licorice and sweet spice, it has a palate of cocoa, ripe plum, strawberry, spice and a hint of earth. “We make it in honor of my Italian heritage,” says Marguerite

Nicholson, who runs the winery with husband Brian Nicholson. “It’s made from two wines that are not often blended, and what we have found is that the crispness of the acidic Sangio brightens a soft Syrah, and the jammy Syrah really softens a crisp Sangio—if that makes sense!” From now until Aug. 4, Nicholson Vineyards will be open for a Series of Live Music from 3-8 p.m. on Fridays; and on Saturdays, various food trucks will be serving good grub from noon to 5 p.m. And if they haven’t already sold out, you might be lucky enough to get some of Nicholson Vineyards’ exceptional olive oil made from their estate-grown olives. Nicholson Vineyards also participates in every Passport event—the next one being Saturday, July 21. And you’re welcome to take a picnic.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WHAT’S HIDDEN UNDER CANCER’S SHELL This is our last week of the sign of the scarab (Cancer) before Leo Sun begins (Sunday afternoon) and the next Mercury retrograde (next Wednesday). Before the Sun completes its days in Cancer, let’s look at this sign of the World Mother. The sign Cancer has a very deep and abiding connection with the human race. Cancer is the “Gate Into Matter,” the doorway through which humans appear on Earth. Thus, Cancer rules mass consciousness. Cancer people (Sun, Moon, Ascendant) intuitively understand the common people’s basic needs and motivations. Cancer rules (oversees, protects, etc.) home, motherhood, family, birth, childbirth, the sea, women (in general), inherited tendencies, domestic life, cooks, kitchens, basic nurturing, gestation, protectiveness, baskets, the

demarcation line between water and land, moody feelings and all places of repose. Cancer receives and distributes Ray 3 (new ideas) and Ray 7 (taking root, anchoring in the world, the great sea of life). Cancer is the “Light within the form—awaiting the Light of the Soul.” Cancer lives half on earth and half in the water. Often Cancer hides away under its shell, silently waiting for the environment to be safe and trusting. Cancer rules our treasures, our private life, conception, heredity and one’s spiritual security (ashram or sangha). Cancer is always seeking home as refuge (sangha). Cancer has unrealized gifts buried deeply within. Cancer’s gifts of nourishment are profound, deep and mysterious.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Are you unusually hungry, and have your appetites for creative work increased? Are you searching for enjoyment? Creative self-expression and entertainment is how you’re to be in the world now. Careful though— others may compete with your starry brightness. Let them win. You know you’re the first and the very best. Let all of creation be playful for you.

The Sun highlights your home, and I wonder if you’ve been somewhere far away. Wherever you are there’s always beauty, art and culture. Hopefully you have access to warm waters, pools, rivers, streams, a spa because you need care, tending and time for healing and away from work where you push yourself beyond limits. So many changes in our world in the coming months. Prepare yourself to have what you want and need. This requires self-definition.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 18, 2018

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Your work always reflects your deepest values as you attempt to resolve financial problems and create an informed and secure future for everyone. You keep saying, “We must safeguard the food and water supplies.” You’re correct. You tell us we must tend to the lives of many generations to come, beginning now. Of all the signs, you’re the most composed and prepared. Rest more. You are always communicating dual realities so everyone can understand.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Work has been very busy, and you’ve been very disciplined. It called for all your creative talents. Now you’ll begin to remember past relationships. The purpose will reveal itself very soon. Are you thinking of faraway places, people, events? Longing for something past that held you in love and care? Remember it as long as you can. You’ll assess, discriminate and then decide. In time there will be more ease.

You must be busy with this and that, here and there and everywhere. It’s good to participate in many varied activities so you can be recognized, praised and appreciated. This helps develop a newer self-identity. It’s also good if you facilitate meetings, group discussions, and community matters. You always have leadership qualities, but soon they will truly be needed and your ideas applied. Remember: the best leader is the humblest.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Mercury (your ruling planet) will soon retrograde again, and your mind will assess what achievements you have accomplished in the coming months, and what to do in the future. You’re often very busy working behind the scenes with research and study, tending the ill and weary or reading books on religion or seeking respite and seclusion in water gardens. Plant dill, borage, burdock and roses, and create another water fountain.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Be aware of the accelerated passages of time. Have the intention to be closer and kinder to family, partner and loved ones. Many benefits will emerge from this. Always with contact, more and more love is released. This is nourishing for you as you need nourishment now, not just from foods but from the morning and evening Sun and from the love (pink-like cotton candy stuff emerging from hearts) around you. But you must make the first contact. Contact releases love.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 The Sun illuminates your need for home. Soon it illuminates the need for fun, pleasure, love, children and creativity. If you’re an artist, this is a time to be in your studio warehouse creating inspired work. Many memories from the past are appearing. It is difficult to balance inner and outer worlds when this occurs. Many seek your attention, needing you to love them. Know that a new self-identity is growing within. It’s a very good time for change and for freedom.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You find yourself accomplishing tasks and interacting with people from the past. You’ve been given an opportunity to fulfill certain dharmic tasks. As you perform daily work, maintain a calm interior, practice mantras (Ohm Mani Padme Hum) and harmlessness and know you must continue ’til the work that is yours to do is complete. It has taken years to come to this place in time and space. Your personality is resisting. However, your Soul brought you here.

You will assume more work responsibilities. Great resources are available to you. They are all around. It’s important to recognize your specific gifts and abilities. There’s a kindness to what will occur between the world and you, a culmination of your ambitions and achievements. As more work is required in the public, stand with grace and equanimity and use Right Speech, which creates Right Relationships. You will be imitated by many others.

The Sun always seems to be illuminating you from within; a golden light emanating from your eyes and heart. Gemini eyes are shaped differently, in order to see what others cannot. Gathering, holding, dispersing and radiating Love/ Wisdom is a task of the heart. Its emergence from you is important now. Many are puzzled by events in the world. You are to soothe them. Understanding both sides, offering Goodwill. You are the twins, Castor and Pollux. Study and communicate with them.

Working with finances and resources becomes exciting when you realize you want to use all that you have to create a sustainable and ecological future for your family. And this is the template for all of humanity. Many will look to you for information as changes in our world accelerate. One such preparation is seed saving. Share your seeds and teach others how to, too. This is one of the most important ways of nurturing humanity–present and future–that of seed saving.
