OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE A little while ago, I saw that Shane Mauss, a nationally known comedian whose stuff I’ve enjoyed for a long time, was coming to Santa Cruz with a psychedelics-themed stand-up show. Considering that we are home to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, I thought, “Oh, man, Santa Cruz is the perfect place for him to do that! I wonder if he knows about MAPS?” In hindsight, I might not have looked like such a moron if I’d done a little research before I asked Mauss, “Hey, you’re coming to Santa Cruz with a psychedelics-themed stand-up show, do you know MAPS?” Now, Mauss is a really nice guy, so he didn’t say what he was probably thinking, which might have been

WATER WATCH

Re: “Well Enough” (GT, 3/27): Great article by Jacob Pierce. It’s been quite difficult to find out what is going on with the Santa Cruz City Water Department in terms of infrastructure and water storage issues and how they’re being addressed. The Santa Cruz City Water Dept. publishes precious little in their occasional updates to consumers on such important issues. It’s especially disconcerting for the Santa Cruz County residents who don’t even get to vote on any of their decisions, yet need to live with their consequences. Mr. Pierce’s article was an excellent update. ROBERT MALBON | LIVE OAK

HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT? Since the ’80s, politicians have told us that a “pure capitalism” economy will solve every problem we have economically. An unregulated free market became more important than democracy to many politicians. During those years, Dr. James Hansen testified before Congress, and the public heard that global warming is real and

something like, “Hey, I’m coming to Santa Cruz with a psychedelicsthemed stand-up show, of course I know about MAPS, ya dumbass!” Instead, he enthusiastically and not at all snarkily told me how MAPS had actually sponsored his 111-city tour of the show in 2016 and 2017, and how it played a big part in his new documentary on the subject, Psychonautics. Mauss is a real rarity in today’s entertainment culture—a very funny guy who’s also an analytical thinker. Both his “Good Trip” drugthemed show and his “Stand-Up Science” show—which tackles a lot of the other scientific topics he’s interested in—at DNA’s Comedy Lab this weekend should be a blast. In the course of doing this week’s cover story, I discovered just how wild Mauss’ own experiences with psychedelics got, and his story is truly a trip. Hope you enjoy it!

we’d better take actions to prevent it from getting worse. Bill McKibben, former New York Times science writer and founder of the climate change organization 350.org, recently said that it “was unfortunate that political point of view developed” just when we needed a response to climate change. Unfortunate or deliberate, how is that working out for us? Fossil fuel companies are the obvious companies that—had they been mildly regulated or taxed for their carbon footprint—we would be far better off today. This is really true of most, if not all big businesses. The more we consume what they produce, the more carbon is released into the atmosphere. Our worldwide ecosystem is breaking down, and now we are faced with needing to take drastic measures to prevent going over 2 degrees Celsius. So far the interpretation that “a completely free market solves everything” is still our religious type of belief and appears to be elevated even above the ideal of democracy. Monday was Earth Day, and this year’s theme was extinction. Species are going extinct at a rapid rate—plants, animals, birds, insects, coral reefs, ocean life. We humans depend on all of those species for our own survival. How’s that theory of unregulated growth of production resulting in more and >8

SOUPER EFFORT

It’s Mosquito Awareness Week, and Santa Cruz County Mosquito and Vector Control is advising residents of the need to dump and drain all standing water. Rainfall from the past year’s big winter left behind stagnant water—and if left to sit in containers, flower pots and empty pools, that water could create mosquito breeding sites. West Nile virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, was detected in 41 counties in California in 2018, with 217 human cases reported.

The Homeless Service Center’s Soupline fundraiser at Cocoanut Grove on Thursday was a big success, with more than 40 restaurants donating soups to the packed event, and celebrity ladlers from Mayor Martine Watkins to SCPD Chief Andy Mills to every other corner of local government and law enforcement (and everywhere else) serving them up to the crowd. HSC staffers also talked movingly about some of the organization’s success stories getting people off the streets in Santa Cruz.

Rat Piss.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In the U.S., the day after Thanksgiving typically features a spectacular shopping orgy. On “Black Friday,” stores sell their products at steep discounts and consumers spend their money extravagantly. But the creators of the game Cards Against Humanity have consistently satirized the tradition. In 2013, for example, they staged a Black Friday “anti-sale,” for which they raised their prices. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to try something similar. Is it possible you’re undercharging for your products and services and skills? If so, consider asking for more. Reassess your true worth and seek appropriate rewards.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Whether or not you believe in magic, magic believes in you right now. Will you take advantage of the fancy gifts it has to offer? I guess it’s possible that you’re not interested in seeing deeper into the secret hearts of those you care for. Maybe you’ll go “ho-hum” when shown how to recognize a half-hidden opportunity that could bring vitalizing changes. And you may think it’s not very practical to romance the fire and the water at the same time. But if you’re interested, all that good stuff will be available for you. P.S. To maximize the effects of the magic, believe in it.

GEMINI May21–June20 In 1815, the most ferocious volcanic eruption in human history exploded from Mount Tambora in what’s now known as Indonesia. It flung gas and ash all over the planet, causing weird weather for three years. Sunlight dimmed, temperatures plummeted, skies were tumultuous, and intense storms proliferated. Yet these conditions ignited the imagination of author Mary Shelley, inspiring her to write what was to become her most notable work, Frankenstein. I suspect that you, too, will ultimately generate at least one productive marvel in response to the unusual events of the coming weeks.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

For over 40 years, Cancerian musician Carlos Santana has made music that blends rock and roll with Latin and African rhythms. In the early years, his creations sold well, but by the mid-1980s his commercial success declined. For a decade, he floundered. His fortunes began to improve after a spectacular meditation session. Santana says he was contacted by the archangel Metatron, who told him how to generate material for a new album. The result was Supernatural, which sold 30 million copies and won nine Grammy Awards. I mention this, Cancerian, because I suspect that you could soon experience a more modest but still rousing variation of Santana’s visitation. Are you interested? If so, the next seven weeks will be a good time to seek it out—and be very receptive to its possibility.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 “Expergefactor” is an old English word that has fallen out of use. In its original sense, it meant something that wakes you up, like an alarm clock or thunderstorm or your partner’s snoring. But I want to revive “expergefactor” and expand its meaning. In its new version, it will refer to an exciting possibility or beloved goal that consistently motivates you to spring out of bed in the morning and get your day started. Your expergefactor could be an adventure you’re planning or a masterpiece you’re working on or a relationship that fills you with curiosity and enchantment. In my astrological opinion, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to identify and fine-tune an expergefactor that will serve you well for a long time.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 We live in a cultural moment when satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and irony are prized as supreme emblems of intelligence. If you say that you value sincerity and earnestness, you risk being considered naive and unsophisticated. Nevertheless, the current astrological omens suggest that you will generate good fortune for yourself in the coming weeks by making liberal use of sincerity

and earnestness. So please try not to fall into the easy trap of relying on satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and irony to express yourself. As much as is practical, be kindly frank and compassionately truthful and empathetically genuine. (P.S. It’s a strategy that will serve your selfish aims quite well.)

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “Most people don’t find their creativity,” mourned Libran author Truman Capote. “There are more unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great talent.” If that describes you even a little bit, I’m happy to let you know that you’re close to stumbling upon events and insights that could change that. If you respond to the prompts of these unexpected openings, you will rouse a partially dormant aspect of your genius, as well as a half-inert stash of creativity and a semi-latent cache of imaginativity.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Do you know the word “sfumato?” Its literal meaning in Italian is “smoked.” When used to describe a painting, it refers to blurred borders between objects or fuzzy transitions between areas of different colors. All the forms are soft and hazy. I bring this to your attention because I suspect the coming weeks will be a sfumato-like time for you. You may find it a challenge to make precise distinctions. Future and past may overlap, as well as beginnings and endings. That doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you’re willing to go with the amorphous flow. In fact, it could even be pleasurable and useful. You might be able to connect with influences from which you’ve previously been shut off. You could blend your energies together better with people who’ve been unavailable.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “You have a right to experiment with your life,” declared author Anaïs Nin. I agree. You don't necessarily have to be what you started out to be. You can change your mind about goals that you may at one time have thought were permanent. I suspect you could be at one of these pivot points right now, Sagittarius. Are there any experiments you’d like to try? If so, keep in mind this further counsel from Nin. It’s possible that “you will make mistakes. And they are right, too.”

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You have one main task to accomplish in the coming weeks, Capricorn. It’ll be simple and natural if you devote yourself to it wholeheartedly. The only way it could possibly become complicated and challenging is if you allow your focus to be diffused by less important matters. Ready for your assignment? It’s articulated in this poem by Rupi Kaur: “bloom beautifully / dangerously / loudly / bloom softly / however you need / just bloom.”

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 When the forces of the Roman empire occupied the British Isles from the years 43-410 A.D., they built 2,000 miles of roads. Their methods were sophisticated. That’s why few new roads were built in England until the 18th century, and many of the same paths are still visible and available today. In this spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you make good use of an old system or network in the coming weeks. This is one time when the past has blessings to offer the future.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “I’m not enigmatic and intriguing enough,” writes a Piscean blogger named RiddleMaster. “I really must work harder. Maybe I’ll start wearing ankle-length black leather coats, billowing silk scarves imprinted with alchemical symbols, and wide-brimmed hats. I’ll listen to Cambodian folk songs and read rare books in ancient Sanskrit. When someone dares to speak to me, I’ll utter cryptic declarations like, ‘The prophecies will be fulfilled soon enough.’” I understand RiddleMaster’s feelings. You Pisceans need mystery almost as much as you need food. But I believe you should set aside that drive for a few weeks. The time has come for you to show the world who you are with crisp candor.

more consumption working out for us? We’ve witnessed other species overpopulate when food is plentiful and die off when it’s not. We could learn something from observing that. In theory, we are smarter than that. DIANE WARREN | BOULDER CREEK

BERRY ALARMING Re: Earth Day: On a sunny day, viewed from the hills above Watsonville, that shimmering ocean below is not Monterey Bay. Rather it’s a sea of plastic covering farmland and crops, especially strawberries. Estimated at dozens of square miles in

the South County and Salinas Valley, this farmland plastic increases profitability, but causes unseen harm. Not only does the plastic release greenhouse gasses as the sun heats and reflects, but it also causes erosion and sediment in estuarine watersheds. Coated with residual chemicals that kill insects, weeds, and fungi, this single-use plastic sea is ultimately buried in landfills, unloaded by farm workers infrequently wearing protection. Next time, when buying berries from local farms, consider the amount of plastic and chemicals it took to deliver those delicious berries. Buying organic, IMO, is worth the extra cost.

Long Road Ahead

With charges pending after Josh Howard’s death, Highway 9 improvements could still be years off BY RYAN MASTERS

altrans is launching an immediate study of a 1-mile stretch of Highway 9, including the shoulder where 22-year-old Josh Howard was struck and killed by a motorist earlier this year. On the evening of Feb. 21, driver Jeremy Shreves drifted over a solid white line into the narrow shoulder where Howard was walking, according to a report released last

week by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The pending analysis from Caltrans will look at possible safety improvements, including narrowing the highway’s lanes and pushing back retaining walls to create more space for pedestrians and bicyclists, according to Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) Senior Transportation Planner Rachel Moriconi.

Officials ordered the analysis at an April 18 meeting attended by Assemblymember Mark Stone and District 5 Supervisor Bruce McPherson, along with representatives from the RTC, Caltrans, the San Lorenzo Valley School District, the California Highway Patrol, and Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works. Congressmember Anna Eshoo and Congressmember Jimmy >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | APRIL 24-30, 2019

Hidden Peak Teahouse owner David Wright may be the king of tea, but he’s the first to admit that when it comes to business and marketing, he’s more of a jester. “We are way behind financially but way ahead spiritually,” he laughs. Wright is something of a paradox. An avid fan of the film Superbad and dirty jokes, he doesn’t use cell phones or computers—or really any technology aside from light switches, a fridge and his DVD player. He also says that he’s disconnected from the financial side of running his business, and he still feels like a novice when it comes to taxes and marketing. That probably explains why, for the second time in the last couple of years, the teahouse is struggling to make ends meet. If it doesn’t raise funds or come up with another plan, Wright says, it could close up shop as early as July. “There is nothing like this place anywhere. We just want to stay here in a simple way because of what we hear back from people,” he says. “We have so many testimonials of clarity and equilibrium that come from people here to unplug. This is a temple, this is not a business. It’s put here so that it can be in the marketplace, but it’s here for a unique reason that’s maybe too cutting-edge and ahead of its time.” The teahouse’s first online fundraiser was in December 2016, when Wright launched a campaign on the shop’s website with a $50,000 goal. He garnered nearly $10,000, which helped Hidden Peak continue to keep the doors open and alleviate financial difficulties at the time. Wright says the money went quickly, and he decided that he wouldn’t want to run another campaign himself. “It didn't feel right before, it wasn’t my way. It felt wrong, contrived, upside down and backwards. I tried it, and it wasn’t something I was going to do now,” he says. “We are tea people, nature people, simple people. We have been doing this for over 20 years, and we still don’t know anything about driving business. We are more concerned with engagement and community.” >14

NEWS LONG ROAD AHEAD <11 Panetta also briefly attended the meeting before having to step out. “The elected officials made it clear Thursday they strongly believe the community deserves an immediate response to the threats posed by the corridor, and they expect tangible responses as soon as possible,” says J.M. Brown, an analyst in McPherson’s office. Though it may be a step forward, the announcement has rankled members of the San Lorenzo Valley community, many of whom have demanded safety improvements along the Highway 9 corridor for more than a decade. When 22-year-old Josh was struck and killed walking along the southbound shoulder of Highway 9 during rush hour in Felton, community members launched an online petition, reigniting a longsimmering, emotional issue among residents of Felton and the greater San Lorenzo Valley. The petition, which has garnered nearly 1,500 signatures and 400 comments, notes that community

members surveyed for the RTC’s Draft Highway 9/San Lorenzo Valley Complete Streets Corridor Plan overwhelmingly identified pedestrian and cyclist safety between the San Lorenzo Valley school campuses and downtown Felton as a top priority. At the April 18 meeting, Assemblymember Stone and Supervisor McPherson echoed their constituents’ concerns, according to those with knowledge of the discussion, and they demanded that Caltrans immediately identify and implement temporary steps to improve the 1-mile stretch of highway where Josh died. Josh’s mom, Kelley Howard, 41, of Felton, is gratified to see some progress toward making Highway 9 safer. But promises of an analysis or temporary fix ring hollow in the wake of her son’s death. “I think that’s a start. Not to sound unappreciative, but actions speak louder than words. The community has been demanding safety along the Highway 9 corridor for 11 years,” Kelley says.

There are significant obstacles to any plan, large or small, Moriconi says. Narrowing the highway’s lanes will negatively affect the ability of larger vehicles, such as fire engines and logging trucks that use the road on a daily basis, to maneuver. In addition, moving retaining walls is expensive. Even seemingly easy fixes, like additional signage, can be problematic, as more signs sometimes mean more distracted drivers. “Caltrans knows this is a community priority and are looking at all the data, but they don’t want to do anything that has unintended consequences. If there was a quick fix, this would have been done decades ago,” Moriconi says. Money, of course, is an issue. Although partially funded by Measure D, which voters approved in 2016, the project would rely on the state’s Active Transportation Program, which is supported by gas taxes. That fund is not as strong as it once was, despite a recent gas tax increase. “It’s now up to Caltrans, >14

WHEEL CHANGE Ecology Action has put together a new program for the month of May, and anyone who rides to work five times next month will have a shot at a $7,500 prize. Bike riders will have to download the thirdparty app Strava to track their rides. Cyclists who ride on Bike-to-Work Day, Thursday, May 9, will get an additional entry—plus a shot at winning a new e-bike. Bike-to-Work Day will have breakfast sites all the way from Watsonville to Scotts Valley. Visit ecoact. org/biketowork for more information. Watsonville is also gearing up for an Open Streets event Sunday, June 2,

when organizers will close off downtown blocks in celebration of cyclists and pedestrians. Last year, after a scary rash of pedestrian deaths, the city of Watsonville became the first city in the county to sign onto Vision Zero, a campaign to eliminate traffic fatalities, while increasing healthy and safe transportation options for everyone.

SUER SYSTEM Activism and the court system have a lot in common. They both incentivize players to throw as much as they can against the wall to see what sticks. The basis of local homeless activists’ suit against the

city of Santa Cruz—over chatter about closing down the Gateway homeless encampment behind the Ross department store—is simple enough. The city doesn’t have enough shelter beds, so there aren’t enough places for the homeless to go, the complaint alleges. (As of press time, the city was conducting a camp clean-up, while the council weighed the possibility of closing the camp permanently, amid a potentially delicate legal situation.) But the suit pulls in a surprisingly long list of defendants, including city administrators Tina Shull and Susie O’Hara, who’ve both been taking direction from the City Council under

the guidance of City Manager Martín Bernal, and appear to be working crazy-long hours as the electeds switch course on homelessness every two weeks. The suit additionally names the public safety group Take Back Santa Cruz, arguing that the group is tied to SCPD Chief Andy Mills, and because the collective is allegedly spreading “anti-homeless hate.” We’re not here to defend xenophobic remarks in online forums, but let’s be honest: Some of this legal junk is a lot like Robert Norse’s eloquent bi-weekly rambling during public comment at City Hall—it sounds interesting, it wastes time, and it means absolutely nothing.

IRS employee taxes. The teahouse needs an additional $20,000 to cover merchandise and maintenance costs. As of 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 17, the GoFundMe had raised $1,875 of its $56,334 goal. The new effort is more transparent than Hidden Peak’s last fundraiser, which simply involved a donate button on the teahouse’s website and periodic updates on its blog,

where Wright would say how far along the effort was. In hindsight, Wright says the reason for that approach was probably technological incompetence on his part. He says it’s helpful that someone else is behind the new fundraiser. “This time it’s all Mike and his crew and the community he brought into it,” Wright says. “We petitioned nobody. He said, ‘We will do everything. We can’t have this place disappear.’ It was very touching.” Although the fundraiser has a long way to go, Wright’s happy to feel the community’s support. “Mike gets the more quirky Santa Cruz element of what we are, what I am,” Wright says. “We are about people and community. Yes of course, we need money to continue doing what we do, but we don’t do it for money. I’m not here to build an empire.” Trainer says he was shocked to hear about Hidden Peak’s financial troubles. He wants to prevent the business from going the way of other beloved downtown institutions, like Caffe Pergolesi and the Logos book store, both of which closed in the past two years. “In my mind, if people knew about their financial situation, it would never close,” Trainer says. “I wanted to take the initiative to help. Other people have been shocked and amazed when they hear about it too. The general feeling about us losing Pergolesi and Logos is an open wound, so the idea of losing something else is really sad.” Looking ahead, Wright would like to setup a council of supporters who believe in Hidden Peak’s mission. He and his team are thinking about putting out a call for a business partner who would share a similar mindset and values. Before telling a dumb-blonde joke as we wrap up, Wright, who doesn’t have credit or job history, mentions to me that if the teahouse doesn’t work out, he will likely have to find another job, one that doesn’t require computers, of course. While many entrepreneurs would struggle to imagine life after business, he expresses an openness to transitioning away and opening new doors. “My life is devoted to humanity. I don’t want anything,” Wright says. “I’m not looking for remodels and bigger sectional couches. I realize now that I’ve put myself in a situation where I need help with business motivation alongside our main community aspect. But the glass isn’t half-empty, there is so much joy, so much abundance.”

LONG ROAD AHEAD <12 the RTC and the county to work together, leverage appropriate funding and ensure the safety of this corridor,” says Assemblymember Stone in a statement. While Caltrans’ analysis may result in a temporary fix to the segment of highway used by students, significant safety improvements to the entire 18-mile San Lorenzo Valley corridor are still years away. In an April 16 letter addressed to RTC Executive Director Guy Preston, Caltrans Deputy District Director Aileen Loe said Caltrans will begin work on a scoping document for pavement preservation along the San Lorenzo Valley corridor this summer. Improvements, she wrote, would be funded in the 2022 State Highway Operations and Preservation Program. As a result of this timetable, Kelley fears that another San Lorenzo Valley mother may have to live through the pain of losing a child before planners ensure the corridor’s safety. “There are a lot of bad spots along Highway 9. Kids are in danger daily. I still see kids taking the path where my son was killed. I’m grateful that no one else has been hurt or killed, but I’m also surprised,” Kelley says. Kelley is also concerned that Jeremy Shreves, 47, of Boulder Creek, remains free and behind the wheel after killing her son with his 2000 Toyota 4-Runner. Josh, a hard-working, happy-golucky young man on the milder end of the autism spectrum, attended classes at Cabrillo College and held down jobs at two pizza parlors and Castelli’s Deli. He was walking home from an eight-hour shift at the latter when he was killed. Like Josh, Shreves had just finished a long day of work. He was headed to Safeway in Felton when the accident occurred, according to the CHP incident report. At the time, Shreves contended that he was only traveling 20 mph when he hit Josh. However, his passenger, Bean Bourn, told investigators that Shreves had been traveling 30-35 mph. According to Bourn’s >16 comments, Shreves

NEWS LONG ROAD AHEAD <14 inexplicably drifted over the solid white line to where Josh was walking along a roughly 3-foot shoulder abutted by a sheer concrete retaining wall. As Bourn yelled, “Whoa, Whoa!”, the Toyota strayed 1-to-2 feet over the solid white line and struck Josh from behind. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office has recommended a misdemeanor charge of gross vehicular manslaughter to the District Attorney’s Office, which has yet to assign a specific attorney to the case. “From what I understand, they’re not considering it as gross negligence, which would be a felony. I don’t really understand that. He has a long criminal history. He admitted to drinking and smoking pot on the day the accident occurred,” Kelley says. “It boggles the mind.” Shreves’ criminal history in Santa Cruz County dates back to 1995. It includes a six-month jail sentence for felony burglary and multiple vandalism and drug charges. At the time of the accident, he admitted to the investigating officer that he drank a beer earlier in the day and smoked marijuana at lunch. However, a field sobriety test indicated that he was sober when he struck Josh. Shreves, who did not respond to an interview request, submitted to a blood test at a hospital after the incident. Results from that test have not been released. While she waits for the D.A. to address the case, Kelley hopes tangible changes address the stretch of road where her son lost his life. At the very least, she suggests redirecting students through Clearview Place, which is closed to traffic, to avoid the dangerous stretch of highway. But no amount of highway safety improvements will truly console the grieving mother. “In the end, nothing will be enough, of course,” Kelley says. “Nothing will bring my baby home.”

THE SCIENCE OF COMEDY Shane Mauss

performs his “Stand Up Science” and “A Good Trip” comedy shows at DNA’s Comedy Lab on Saturday, April 27. PHOTO: BRUCE SMITH

Uncharted Territory After pushing his exploration of the limits of consciousness to the very edge in the new documentary ‘Psychonautics,’ comedian Shane Mauss brings his science-and-psychedelicsthemed shows to Santa Cruz BY STEVE PALOPOLI

himself a “psychonaut”— which would eventually give the documentary its title, Psychonautics: A Comic’s Exploration of Psychedelics—he wanted to do as many of the drugs discussed in the movie as possible on camera. Bellinkoff had already filmed him going out with a mushroom hunter and chowing down on psilocybin, as well as tripping on ketamine in a clinical therapy setting. Next up was supposed to be a date with the extremely potent shaman’s brew ayahuasca, which was also to be filmed. Except that Mauss had suddenly disappeared, leaving Bellinkoff baffled. What neither he nor the film’s producer Matt Schuler knew was that Mauss had already done the ayahuasca without them—way too much of it, in fact. “We didn’t hear from him for a while,” says Bellinkoff. “And we were like, ‘This is strange.’ Then one day Matt calls me and says, ‘Hey, I just got off the phone with Shane, and if he calls you, unless you’ve got 30 minutes to blow, don’t pick up the phone, because he’s just going to talk a bunch of nonsense. Sure enough, my phone rings 10 minutes later, and I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to let this one

go to voicemail’—not knowing that he was having this crazy manic episode.” Mauss was overwhelmed by paranoia and delusions, eventually getting himself committed to a psych ward about a month after his trip. Rather than trying to gloss over it, the filmmakers turned Mauss’ episode into the compelling climax of Psychonautics, in which Mauss recalls what he went through in narration over a stunning animation sequence. It serves as a sobering counterpoint to the movie’s bright optimism about the future of psychedelics; while they may be tools for positive change in the proper context and setting, they are still psychoactive agents that must be respected for their still-unquantified power. “There’s a built-in disclaimer throughout the documentary, because I did lose my mind in the course of doing it. I eventually got it back, but I had to be hospitalized for a little while,” says Mauss. “I wanted to find the edge of where the human mind could go, and I found it. And in hindsight, I’m not sure why that was a goal of mine in the first place.”

rian Bellinkoff remembers when he found out Shane Mauss had lost his mind. In 2017, the director had been working on a documentary for several months with Mauss, using Mauss’ comedy show about psychedelics, “A Good Trip,” as a jumping off point. As with the drug-themed stand-up show— which Mauss had just taken on a successful 111-city tour—there was a deeper point beyond the jokes and stories about wild experiences with pretty much every psychedelic under the sun. Using interviews with top scientists and thinkers in the field, the film aimed to show how breakthroughs in psychedelic research are poised to change the way we think about healing, biology, psychiatry, and psychology. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that Mauss’ groundbreaking tour was sponsored by Santa Cruz’s Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), or that MAPS Founder and Executive Director Rick Doblin was interviewed extensively for the film. But Mauss took the idea further—a lot further. Fancying

BIG TIME VS. BIG IDEAS When I talk to Mauss by phone in April, it’s been nearly two years since drug-fueled moviemaking briefly drove him crazy—and he’s just fine, thank you. I tell him that I first discovered his comedy several years ago on Sirius XM’s Comedy Central Radio, which would play bits from his 2010 debut album Jokes to Make My Parents Proud. I liked his rapid-fire absurdist takes on everything from common sayings to time travel to electric blankets. They were funny bits, but the structure already hinted at something more ambitious—for instance, the way a joke about the stupidity of macho truck ads led to a story about how hard it was to get the censor to let him do that same joke on late-night TV, which led to an even better bit about the ridiculousness of FCC regulations. His act started to evolve quickly after his Comedy Central Presents showcase in 2010. His 2013 Netflix special Mating Season had already

begun to move away from traditional stand-up subjects, as he worked his thoughts on things like evolutionary biology and negative bias into his comedy. By 2014, he was doing a weekly science podcast called Here We Are, for which he has now released more than 200 episodes. In 2015, he did a whole album called My Big Break centered around how he broke both his feet at the same time, which he calls the absolute worst way to break them. (“If this is something you really have your heart set on, what you want to do is break one foot first, let that sucker heal, see how you liked it, and then—if you’re really committed to this—go ahead and break your other foot,” he jokes on the album.) In October of 2016, he started the “Good Trip” tour, which stretched into the summer of 2017. Since then, he’s also developed his “Stand Up Science” comedy show, which draws on his love of nondrug-related science topics. It is, I point out during our

“It does feel like we are entering another potential psychedelic revolution.” —SHANE MAUSS

APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

<22

conversation, pretty much the weirdest path a successful comic can take. “Tell me about it,” says Mauss, his unmistakable, Midwestern-accented voice accompanied by an implied sigh as it floats through the speaker. He grew up in La Crosse, Wisconsin, the kind of city that wins a lot of “Best Small City for Doing Business”type awards, but was also named the 15th-coldest city in the nation and the sixth-drunkest city in America by 247wallst.com. I always kind of assumed the 38-year-old Mauss’ stories on his early albums about getting blackout drunk and doing lots of drugs were exaggerated for effect. Not so much, it turns out. “I was probably understating it,” he says. Still, his comedy about his working-class background—he did time in a furniture-manufacturing plant for years before pursuing comedy—and left-field observations quickly got him attention when he moved to Boston and started performing regularly in the comedy scene there. “I think I got kind of a false sense of confidence early on in my career, when everything went really well for me in a hurry,” he says. “I was doing the traditional comedy stuff like late-night TV and all that, and I just wanted to challenge myself more, do something that was really just following my natural curiosities.”

A NEW PATH On Saturday, those pursuits will lead Mauss to Santa Cruz, where he’ll perform two entirely different shows at 7:30 and 10 p.m.—first, “Stand Up Science,” and then, for the late show, “A Good Trip.” Obviously, Santa Cruz is a no-brainer for his psychedelic

show, especially with his connection to MAPS. “I interact with the MAPS organization all the time. I’m friends with everyone over there,” he says. “I imagine they’ll be at my show. I’ll probably have one of them come up and say a few words in the middle of it.” Still, he was surprised at the reception “A Good Trip” has gotten in cities that most people probably wouldn’t expect. And that was even before some of the more recent milestones in psychedelics research, like MDMA getting a “breakthrough therapy” designation from the FDA for treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and MAPS’ plan to make MDMA-assisted psychotherapy a legal prescription treatment by 2021—for which it just went into Phase 3 clinical trials. “I had no idea,” says Mauss. “Throughout the country I would do small towns like Minot, North Dakota, and hundreds of people would come out. People were just really excited that someone was talking about this stuff. We’ll see how popular it is now, because a lot’s changed in the couple of years since I stopped doing the show. And psychedelics have been that much more normalized; it seems like people are pretty excited. You know, Michael Pollan’s book that came out last year is still in the front of bookstores. It’s a subject that’s seemingly still taking off quite a bit.” He admits his personal connection to the psychedelic community makes him biased, but attending conferences and talking to researchers over the last several years has led Mauss to believe that something unprecedented is on the horizon in the field. “It does feel like we are entering another potential psychedelic

That, of course, is what Mauss and Bellinkoff are also trying to do with their Psychonautics documentary, which was released last month on Amazon Prime, iTunes and Google Play. The project started when producer Schuler heard Mauss talking about his “Good Trip” tour on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, and suggested to Bellinkoff that they approach him about making some kind of special based on it. “Then Shane was going to be in L.A. performing at the Largo, so Matt said, ‘Brian, just bring the camera and record the show,’ because he wanted to pitch it to Showtime or something,” remembers Belinkoff. “And that Largo show is actually the main stand up that you see in the film. I didn’t even know Shane at the time. I was interested in psychedelics

because I’d dabbled in mushrooms and MDMA, but nowhere close to Shane’s level.” Mauss was initially skeptical, and says he never really had a clear vision for what the movie was going to be. But Bellinkoff won him over. “In the beginning, he definitely wasn’t quite sure if this was a good idea for his career, and didn’t know if he could trust me,” says Bellinkoff. “But along the way, we became friends. The guy is awesome. He’s got no ego, and he’s super humble. He didn’t even want his face on the poster at first.” When MAPS did its conference on psychedelic research (which is held every four years) in Oakland in the spring of 2017, the filmmakers realized they could interview many of the leading names in the field in one place. They also found a mushroom hunter, Eric Osborne, who offered to lead them around a municipal park (!) in Kentucky to find psilocybin. Again, Mauss was initially skeptical. “Eric came to one of my ‘Good Trip’ shows. I met him after the show and he was wearing this mushroom hat, it was just a big hat that looked like a mushroom, and I

was like, ‘Who’s this weirdo?’” However, the mushroom hunt sequence turned out to be one of the funniest in the film, and Mauss has gone on to perform at some of the psilocybin retreats that Osborne leads in Jamaica, where the drug is legal. Bellinkoff quickly discovered that Mauss had the remarkable ability to actually describe pretty coherently what he was experiencing while tripping on camera. “I think part of that is that Shane does it professionally,” he says. “His whole last tour was trying to describe these experiences on stage; he is just innately able to do it. These are substances that make most people completely incoherent, but he has this strange superpower.” Mauss is a lot more critical of his own tripping talk. “Yeah, it just looks like me drooling in a chair or whatever. It doesn’t necessarily represent the experience that well. You’re having this really profound inner experience, but how you look on the outside is just ‘Uhhhhhhhhhhh,’” he says. “I have never liked seeing myself on television, or hearing my voice. It’s just something that I’ve never liked and never gotten used to, and it was hard. It was really hard. Especially once I became manic and paranoid. I really couldn’t watch myself at that point.” That was also the point where the shooting basically ground to a halt. “We would have recorded a lot more stuff. There were several more psychedelics I planned on doing for the film,” says Mauss. Although he felt bad that Bellinkoff was left to turn what they had done into a narrative, he says it’s probably for the best that they stopped when they did. “As I was getting more and more manic throughout the filming, I was having more and more grandiose ideas about what I wanted the film to be. Next thing I knew, I was trying to make, like, the Christopher Nolan Inception of psychedelics,” he says. “It was a bunch of loose footage to me, and I had no idea how to put it all together. But, man, what

Brian did with it was incredible. Ultimately, I’m really happy with what he was able to do with the limited amount of time and footage that we actually got.” Bellinkoff acknowledges it was a dicey situation, but he says all the craziness ultimately worked for the finished Psychonautics. “In the end, it actually made the movie much better, because it had a full character arc,” he says. “In the beginning, I was like, ‘Are we just going to go talk about these different drugs, and then sort of wrap it up at the end?’ But because he had this episode, it really rounds out the whole movie, because I didn’t want to necessarily just glorify these drugs either, and say, ‘Oh yeah, they’re all totally safe.’ It’s exciting, but you also have to be cautious.” Mauss continues to find a natural high by pushing himself out of his comfort zone in his comedy career. He’s done his “Stand Up Science” show around 40 times now, and its success in creating a heady mix of comedy and accessible science talk makes him think he’ll be doing it for quite some time. When I listen back to Mauss’ albums, it seems obvious that he’s been pushing the boundaries of what comedy can be from Mating Season onward. It’s almost possible to chart how he’s moved away from the most basic—and safest—comedy beats to something a little deeper. “There is nothing more terrifying, I think, than really intentionally almost seeing how long I can go before delivering a punchline— building up a premise and setting the stage for really big ideas,” he says. “Because then when you get to the punchline, it does have to pay off more, because of how long it took to set up. The stakes are just higher. And, man, I love it.” Shane Mauss performs on Saturday, April 27, at DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 River St. South, Santa Cruz. The 7:30 p.m. is “Stand Up Science,” and at 10 p.m. he will perform his psychedelics-themed comedy show “A Good Trip.” Tickets for each show are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. dnascomedylab.com.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“What we want to do is make sure that these kids will keep these instruments in their hands all their life.” —PRINCE LAWSHA <30 Sunday is the official observance of International Jazz Day, and from noon-5 p.m., Lawsha and his impromptu band of jazz all-stars will open the performance at the Wharf, followed by Escovedo and his orchestra, which features his sons Juan Escovedo and Peter Michael Escovedo. But even before the first note is struck in Sunday’s concert, many of the county’s school children will have already been exposed up close to high-quality jazz performance. Six years ago, Lawsha—the son of a celebrated saxophonist also known as Prince Lawsha, a veteran touring musician and recording artist in his own right—approached former county school superintendent Michael Watkins with an idea to bring professional jazz players into the county’s classrooms. “I figured that if I’m going to bring artists from outside the country here [for International Jazz Day], I could do better having them here a whole week with students, rather than just one day at the Wharf,” says Lawsha. The result was the birth of a local tradition, as Lawsha led a jazz band into one local school every day of the school week. This year, he has assembled a group of musicians from his friends and colleagues in jazz, who he’s met performing around the world. They include Philadelphia bass player Tyrone Brown, French sax man JeanJacques Taib and a few California players, including guitarist Cameron Smith, pianist Martan Mann and coronet player Lewis Kaiser. Lawsha and the band are in the midst of a tour of the county’s schools, which this year includes Harbor High, Soquel Elementary, Pajaro Valley Middle School, Sequoia School in Freedom, and Cesar Chavez Middle School in Watsonville. The aim of the tour, says Lawsha, is to instill a love of jazz in the younger generation, and to allow young aspiring musicians to see models

of professionalism in the business. “What we want to do is make sure that these kids will keep these instruments in their hands all their life,” he says. Audrey Sirota is the arts coordinator for the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, and her job is to act as the liaison between the musicians and the schools. She says the benefits of the jazz musicians coming into schools extend beyond aspiring musicians. “Seeing how you can make a living as a musician and how you can make a career of it has a profound influence on a lot of the students, even if they never become professional musicians,” she says. A couple of years ago, Sirota was witness to the process of how jazz musicians inspire the very young when she attended a performance at Mountain Elementary School outside Soquel. “The musicians ended up doing some nursery rhymes and songs that the kids were familiar with—taking ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,’ for example, and turning it into a jazz improv.” This year, Lawsha and his band are planning a similar approach with Spanishlanguage nursery rhymes. Also, in keeping with the international flavor of International Jazz Day, Lawsha is intent on bringing to town musicians from other places as a way to underline the power of American jazz around the world. “I do try to bring in people from outside the country so that kids can get inspired seeing people from other countries playing our music with such love,” he says. The International Jazz Day program, featuring Pete Escovedo and the Escovedo Orchestra, along with Prince Lawsha and the Jazz Day All-Stars, will be presented Sunday, April 28, noon-5 p.m, at the bandstand at the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. The concert is free and open to the public. jazzday.com.

DELAYED DEBUT Robert Lundquist on the cover of ‘After Mozart.’

Lost Genius A prodigal son of Santa Cruz lit returns BY GEOFFREY DUNN

childhood. But only the first segment of the poem appeared. I waited years to read the other half. It never came. Cut to four decades later. Last fall, I learned that Lundquist was having his first full-length collection of poetry published, After Mozart (Heroin on 5th Street), by New River Press of London. I could hardly wait to get my hands on it. My anticipation was fully rewarded. In my mind, the collection (which includes the denouement of “A Street”) is one of the great works of American poetry to emerge in the last quarter century. Lundquist, now sober and a practicing psychoanalyst in his beloved downtown Los Angeles, is coming to Bookshop Santa Cruz, this Thursday, April 25, at 7 p.m. Given European reviews of his book and various reports of his readings in London and Paris (and they have been exuberantly praiseworthy), it promises to be a literary celebration for the ages. Robert Lundquist will read from ‘After Mozart (Heroin on 5th Street),’ at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Thursday, April 25, at 7 p.m.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | APRIL 24-30, 2019

n the early 1970s, Robert Lundquist was both a rising star in, and the enfant terrible of, the Santa Cruz literary Renaissance that included the likes of Raymond Carver, George Hitchcock, William Everson, James D. Houston, Anne Steinhart (who was also a brilliant musician), Stephen Kessler, and Morton Marcus—with occasional appearances by one of Lundquist’s mentors, Charles Bukowski—in what was largely a male-dominated (and often sexist) milieu. By his early 20s, the Los Angeles born-and-bred Lundquist had been published in the Nation, the Paris Review and designated by Rolling Stone as one of the “Best 100 American Poets.” In only a few years, Lundquist was a broken figure, lost in the bottle, and I presume, a variety of drugs and despair. His once-bright literary star had burned out. I later came across a dark, poignant poem entitled “A Street,” in the highly respected UCSC literary journal Quarry West, that had been written by Lundquist. It was a knockout-brilliant poem chronicling Lundquist’s noir downtown L.A.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GURF Gurf Morlix performs at Michael’s on Main on Thursday, April 25.

APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Self Producing

Iconic producer and sideman Gurf Morlix builds a soundscape for himself BY AARON CARNES

mericana singersongwriter Gurf Morlix has been thinking a lot about his own mortality lately. It’s just kind of a part of his reality now as a 67-year-old man. “Friends of mine have been dying and that’s not going to stop anytime soon,” Morlix tells me. “When you get to be 67, you’re thinking about these things.” So it should be no surprise that his latest album, Impossible Blue, deals with death—a lot. It’s an intimate album that sounds as though his worn voice is gently

singing in the same room as you. Even with a full band backing him, it has the same quiet emotional quality that you might get on a solo acoustic album. Morlix is an experienced producer who’s worked with Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier and Slaid Cleaves, so he knows how to find the sound he wants. For this record, he set out to create a lot of space on the album and not fill in every gap with an instrument. “I play small venues. I play to a hundred seats or less. So I am going for that intimacy,” Morlix

says. “I’m not going to be playing an enormo-dome, so why would I want Bruce Springsteen drum echo in my music?” One of the deaths that influenced Impossible Blue more than any other happened a decade ago, when a close friend took his own life. Morlix tried to write a song about it four different times, and it finally clicked, emerging as the album’s closing song, “The Backbeat of the Dispossessed.” He knew the song was finished when he found himself able to memorialize his friend in a loving,

tender and sympathetic way. That was a process. “First, you’re sad, then you become angry. Then you kind of get over that and it turns into this really tragic thing that happened,” Morlix says. A poignant line in that song, “I can’t imagine the impossible blue running deep inside of you,” inspired the album’s title. The “impossible blue,” he tells me, is the feeling of deep, deep sorrow that he can only imagine his friend felt and led him to take his own life. “This guy had a teenage son when he checked out. I was thinking, ‘How sad can a human being be? How deep is that chasm?’ I can’t relate,” Morlix says. “I felt really bad in my life sometimes, but nothing close to that. I was just trying to imagine it.” In spite of how hopeless the title sounds, the record is actually filled with hope and joy. “The body count has been pretty high on some of my albums, and I don’t really have much say in that matter,” Morlix says. “You can’t just be dismal. No one wants or needs that. You got to offer something. You have to have hope somehow.” Morlix recently suffered a heart attack, but he’s fully recovered and back on his feet. Now he feels like he’s living on borrowed time. You can hear the optimism on Impossible Blue, even as he talks about grim moments in his life. “That was a monumental event. When you’re faced with mortality, you start embracing love a little bit more,” Morlix says. “Every day is really special to me. They put a stent in, and I’m good to go. I’m clear to eat all the triple baconators now, and I feel good.” As a lifelong sideman, player and producer, he’s finally at a place where he’s writing and recording his own tunes—and people are actually excited to hear him play them. “Some people peak early on, and they can’t seem to write a relevant song after that point,” Morlix says. “I feel like I’m still ramping it up here. It’s good to keep growing and improving.” Gurf Morlix performs at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, at Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.

‘NARETOI’ FILM PREMIER

Local filmmaker Kelsey Doyle is behind the magic of Naretoi, a film following a group of Maasai women’s expedition to the summit of Mt. Kenya at more than 16,300 feet. The Maasai tribe, located in parts of Kenya and Tanzania, is deeply rooted in patriarchal, polygamous culture. With that in mind, the film focuses on self-empowerment and sufficiency for women specifically. Naretoi means “women helping women” in Maasai, and the mountain symbolizes the challenges that women face in fighting an uphill battle to gain equality. INFO: 7 p.m. Thursday, April 25.

Learning to swim is a critical part of every child’s life. Drowning is one of the main causes of accidental death—an average of 10 children drown every day, according to the Center for Disease Control. But many parents don’t put their kids in swimming lessons because they are often time-consuming and expensive. In light of this, Seahorse Swim School is offering free swimming lessons for anyone and everyone this spring. The lessons happen rain or shine.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Michele Murphy and Michael Owens really wanted to start a band together. Murphy had been taking voice lessons at Cabrillo and getting voice coaching outside of class. Owens was connected to the local music scene. He’s played in the China Cats, the Post Street Rhythm Peddlers and more. So a couple years ago, he put together an all-star lineup that included members of Mudfrog, Medicine Road and Rose Bud. They started off with a plan to play covers. But when selecting songs, they wouldn’t go towards the bigger hits that you’d expect to hear.

APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We needed to play covers to get used to each other, get a little following, play songs that people want to hear,” says Murphy. “You have to be a real fan to know these songs. Like we do a Little Feat song, and you would think ‘Dixie Chicken.’ That's the song that everyone knows. Instead we do ‘Rock ’n’ Roll Doctor.’ Not many bands would do that.”

More recently, the band has broadened their sound to include songs by artists like Johnny Cash, Al Green and Paul Simon, and they’ve also allowed some more popular tunes in the set. About six months ago they started to write some originals—and they’re hoping to do a lot more of that in the future. “It’s taking a shape that we weren’t really anticipating. But we didn’t really know what we wanted to do,” says Owens. “And as we gained members, we gave everyone freedom of their expression and what they wanted to do. We just let things form naturally. And we’re really happy with it.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 26, Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

THE VANDOLIERS

WEDNESDAY 4/24 REGGAE

CONKARAH + ROSIE DELMAH If you’ve been wondering to yourself whether Adele’s “Hello” would make a banger of a reggae song, I can answer that for you right now: yes, very much so. At least that’s the case with Kingston singers Conkarah and Rosie Delmah, who turn the song into reggae gold. It’s already surpassed 97 million views on YouTube. The duo has also covered “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. And Conkarah has a whole slew of reggaefied jams in his catalog from Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” to Shawn Mullins’ “Lullaby.” AC INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10 adv/$15 door. 479-1854.

INDIE

DOUSE Canadian indie trio Douse will inspire your wanderlust with moody textures and expansive soundscapes. It’s the kind of gleaming guitar tones and indie flourishing that inspire impromptu road trips and smartly titled mixtapes to that one someone who almost gets you. Almost. Douse

frequently gets dreamy without getting lost, keeping their musical meanderings exploratory, but focused on a goal. It’s a nice balance of sonic adventure, like a backpacking trip in the desert armed with a trusty map. AMY BEE INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $6. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 4/25 R&B

BURNIN’ VERNON Burnin’ Vernon rips. He likes to refer to his latest project Aftermath as “From A to Z,” meaning from Al Green to Led Zeppelin. Does that sound like he’s overstating his abilities a bit? He’s not. The originally-from-Texas guitarist has been tearing up Bay Area stages for the last 30 years. He’s shared the stage with bands from every genre: Peter Tosh, Etta James, War. He brings it all. He’s got the funk chops, the rock riffs and the R&B soul. But the real treat is checking out his lead guitar abilities. Some say you can see his finger literally smoking after he’s done soloing. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10 adv/$12 door. 335-2800.

FOLK

PAT HULL Armed with a quiver of melodies, Pat Hull’s voice is a weapon. Alright, so it might be a weapon of peace, but it’s still just as deadly. Combined with his insightful and reflective lyrics, it’s easy to catch yourself plucking at the ole heart strings. Born in Connecticut, this singer/songwriter now resides in Chico and seemingly draws inspiration from the two, drifting between sounds that capture the cold, history-worn cobblestones of New England to the dusty skies of a California summer. MAT WEIR INFO: 8 p.m. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $10-$20. 703-4183.

FRIDAY 4/26 PUNK

DOUG & THE SLUGZ Oi! Oi! Oi! Dust off the boots, break out the braces and fill up the scooter’s tank because the original L.A. skins, Doug & The Slugz, are coming to Santa Cruz! They are kicking off the Boss Weekender (a weekend for punks and skins: music, a scooter ral-

ly, lots of drinking). Band leader and namesake Doug Dagger is notoriously known as the singer from Schleprock and the Generators. But way back in the fledgling days of 1983, Doug and the Slugz was Dagger’s original group, belting out singalongs about short hair, street honor and lifestyles of the broke and working class. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. 429-6994.

HIP-HOP

ALLBLACK Oakland’s Allblack connects two long-standing threads in Bay Area hip-hop. On the one hand, the bounce in his beats and his bike-riding swagger are an outgrowth of hyphy, the sound and image of Oakland at the turn of the millennium. But where hyphy artists were all about the party, for Allblack, the trap is never far away. Not the ATL trap of Migos and Gucci, but the modern East Bay trap of artists like SOB x RBE. Allblack is still on the rise, but he won’t be playing rooms the size of the Atrium for long. MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$18 door. 429-4135.

THE VANDOLIERS The Vandoliers, a six-piece band from Texas, features the kind of gravelly, raspy vocals that remind one of mid’80s hard rock, so it’s surprising when the fiddles and strings come in and undulate through the crowd in pure Southern rock glory. Songs veer from jubilant punk anthems to folk-rock diddies, all coated in a thick sheen of country pride and Texas twang. It’s probably that Texas audacity that compels the Vandoliers to add horns to several songs, a kind of special middle finger to the world’s expectations of what a dirty, grimy, down-home country rock band ought to be. AB INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12 adv/$15 door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 4/26 ACOUSTIC

KAKI KING Included in Rolling Stone’s list of “New Guitar Gods,” Kaki King is a mercurial force for creative good. Impossible to pigeonhole, her emotionally bare instrumental music is guided only by her virtuoso guitar skills. Jumping between finger picking, acoustic

percussion, lap steel, and some full on shredding, King’s discography is lyrical without lyrics, a kind of poetry written outside of language. In 2007, she collaborated with Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook for the Emmy-nominated Into the Wild soundtrack, only one of many high points in a career defined by them. MH INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door. 429-4135.

JAZZ

CLAUDIA VILLELA Claudia Villela’s new album Encantada Live offers a sensational reminder that whether she’s composing at her piano or spontaneously generating new songs on stage, the Rio de Janeiro-born vocalist, percussionist and bandleader is a sonic conjurer who can summon an infinite array of moods, textures and settings. She’s celebrating the release of the album, which focuses on original material, as well as the beloved songbook of Antonio Carlos Jobim. She’s joined by a world-class cast including saxophonist Gary Meek, bassist Gary Brown, drummer Celso Alberti and guitarist Carlos Oliveira. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $28.35/$33.60. 427-2227.

INFO: 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $21 adv/$25 door. Information: www. catalystclub.com. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 30, to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

AMERICANA

Betty Who’s viral hit “Somebody Loves You” will make you feel wonderful inside and want to tell that special someone in your life how much they mean to you. Fortunately for Who, someone did just that and made her a viral star. She was a somewhat-known Australian pop artist in 2013 when Spencer Stout uploaded a video of him proposing to his boyfriend with “Somebody Loves You” playing in the background. The video got shared a gazillion times, shining a whole lot of deserved spotlight onto her music. She followed it with a bunch more feel-good, electro-pop songs that may inspire you to marry someone.

FILM

CYCLING THROUGH CELLULOID Filmmaker J.T. Bruce (left) and his dad Todd logged more than 5,000 miles on their

motorcycles going up and down the Baja peninsula in ‘The Devil's Road.’

The Road to Baja APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Santa Cruz family of filmmakers trace a historic path in ‘The Devil’s Road’ BY WALLACE BAINE

he allure of Baja California has always been tied to its separateness. Separated from Alta California—that is, the state of California—by a contentious international border, and from the rest of Mexico by the Sea of Cortez, Baja has developed a distinct identity that you can only feel if you escape the centrifugal force of its polar party cities, Tijuana and Cabo San Lucas. The Bruce family of Santa Cruz do not need to be sold on the magic of Baja. They’ve been going there regularly for decades, and their abiding love of the place is the guiding spirit that animates the new

documentary The Devil’s Road: A Baja Adventure, which makes its world premiere at the Rio on April 27. The Devil’s Road is an adventure story that takes the viewer along for the ride down nearly 800 miles of the Baja peninsula. Filmmaker J.T. Bruce and his dad Todd Bruce (the film’s producer) made the trip on a couple of rented motorcycles. Their mission was to follow a 1905 expedition by American naturalists Edward Nelson and Edward Goldman, who covered Baja top to bottom to catalogue the peninsula’s unique flora and fauna. To tie it all into one nice thematic bow, the Bruces learned that they were in fact related to one of the naturalists.

Drawing on both what Nelson and Goldman learned, and the Bruces’ own travels, the film delivers about as complete a portrait of Baja as you could expect in an under-twohour documentary. The Devil’s Road wraps its arms around the history, ecology, economy and culture of Baja, visits with many of its people, and chronicles alarmingly rapid changes brought about by population growth and climate change. If you’ve ever wanted to get to know Baja California better, this film is a full meal. “Baja has pretty much formed me,” said Bri Bruce, sister of J.T. and daughter of Todd, and the film’s associate producer. Bri joined the

expedition as it traveled south, and at one point participated in a horseback outing tracing the very path that naturalists Nelson and Goldman took more than a century ago. “It was really an incredible experience,” she says. “I kept asking myself, ‘Am I in 1905?’” With an eye toward the work of Nelson and Goldman—the latter of whom the Bruces knew as an ancestor in an old family photo before they learned he was a celebrated naturalist—The Devil’s Road strikes a mournful tone when it contemplates the rapid changes that have consumed the Baja peninsula. Working in the immediate postDarwin world of natural science, Nelson and Goldman catalogued and identified scores of species of plants and animals, some of which bear their names in their present-day scientific nomenclature. The world that the naturalists discovered in Baja a century ago is disappearing, thanks to pressures brought on mostly by development and climate change. The broad transformation taking place in Baja convinced the Bruces that their film had to have a wider scope of vision than their own relationship with the region. “I don’t think initially we set out to get that big complete portrait,” says Bri. “But we realized that we couldn’t just follow one string of the narrative without telling the rest of it. It was so intertwined.” Still, the film is a family story. The Bruces trace their lineage back in Santa Cruz several generations, but their connections to the Baja peninsula are no less profound. J.T. and Todd Bruce covered more than 5,000 miles on their motorcycles going up and down the peninsula, and while much of it was fueled by a sense of discovery, there was a deep familiarity at play as well. Bri Bruce says she has been traveling to Baja regularly with her family since she was a baby. “The saltwater from the Sea of Cortez runs in my veins a little bit.” ‘The Devil’s Road: A Baja Adventure,’ directed by J.T. Bruce, plays Saturday, April 27, at 5:30 p.m. at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. devilsroadfilm.com.

FILM NEW RELEASES AVENGERS: ENDGAME You probably haven’t heard anything about this under-the-radar release featuring a few of the costumed characters from those old comic books you used to read when you were a kid. But despite the fact that almost no one saw the movie that was meant to be the lead-up to this one, Avengers: Infinity War, I still think this one has a chance to defy the odds and be a surprise hit. Directed by the Russo brothers. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Brie Larson, Scarlett Johansson, and Josh Brolin. (PG-13) 181 minutes. (SP)

APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE CHAPERONE The writerdirector of Downton Abbey helms this PBS-backed period drama about the teenage years of famed 1920s dancer and actress Louise Brooks, played by Haley Lu Richardson. Elizabeth McGovern plays the fun-hating chaperone of the title. Directed by Michael Engler. Co-starring Miranda Otto, Campbell Scott and Blythe Danner. (Not Rated) 103 minutes. (SP)

FAMILY Orange is the New Black’s Taylor Schilling plays Kate, an executive so obsessed with success that she never had time for family. Comedy ensues when she has to take care of her oddball teenage niece, followed by emotional breakthroughs. This is the kind of movie where the main character’s brother tells her, “I don’t want your money, Kate! I just want a sister!” Directed by Laura Steinal. Co-starring Kate McKinnon, Brian Tyree Henry and Bryn Vale. (R) 85 minutes. (SP) PETERLOO Writer-director Mike Leigh returns with this British historical drama about the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, during which soldiers killed 15 peaceful protestors and injured hundreds during a pro-democracy rally. Starring Rory Kinnear, Maxine Peake and Pearce Quigley. (PG-13) 154 minutes.

For location and discussion topic, go tohttps:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING AMAZING GRACE This documentary is made up of neverbefore-released footage of Aretha Franklin recording her live album Amazing Grace at a church in Watts in 1972. Amazing Grace went on to win a Grammy and be the biggest-selling album of her career. Franklin’s label, Warner Bros., planned to put out a documentary in conjunction with the album, but director Sydney Pollack ran into technical issues that derailed the effort completely. After Pollack gave him the footage in 2008, Alan Elliott spent two years fixing it—but for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, considering that she had signed a contract for the film four decades earlier, Franklin herself fought its release for years. The New York Times had the best headline when the film debuted after her death: “Aretha Franklin Didn’t Want You to See This Movie. But You Must.” (G) 87 minutes. (SP) BREAKTHROUGH Drama based on the true story of a kid who fell through some ice in St. Louis in 2015 and was rescued after being underwater for 15 minutes. His Christian mother Joyce Smith wrote a book about how her son had been saved by God, which is the story re-told here. I’m happy for her kid and all, and I’d sure as hell be thankful if my child lived through that, but I kinda think even God is like, “Calm down, lady!” on this one. I mean, that same year, an Italian teenager was rescued and made a full recovery after being submerged for 42 minutes, and you don’t see anybody calling him the chosen one. (PG) 116 minutes. (SP)

THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA The Woman in Black. The Nun. Now La Llorona. Am I the only one who can barely tell these creepy movie ladies apart anymore? This movie is based on the Mexican folktale about a “Weeping Woman” who lost her children and now wants to steal everyone else’s. Weirdly enough, it’s supposed to be part of the “Conjuring Universe,” a fancy way of saying yet another spin-off of James Wan’s 2013 film The Conjuring, which besides the two direct sequels has already given us two boring movies about Annabelle the doll and that even worse nun movie. Directed by Michael Chaves. Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz and Patricia Velasquez. (R) 93 minutes. (SP) HIGH LIFE Truly out-there sci-fi premise has a group of death-row criminals recruited for a space mission to a black hole, and subjected to sexual experimentation on the journey. Written and directed by Claire Denis. Starring Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, Andre Benjamin, and Juliette Binoche. (R) 110 minutes. (SP) LITTLE Why are people always saying Hollywood doesn’t have any new ideas? They have tons! Like, for instance, in Big, Tom Hanks was a kid who got trapped in his grown-up body, right? Well, see, in this movie, Regina Hall is a grown-up who gets trapped in her kid body! Bam! Totally different. See, new ideas everywhere! Directed by Tina Gordon. Costarring Marsai Martin, Issa Rae and Rachel Dratch. (PG-13) (SP) MISSING LINK I don’t know why cryptozoology is suddenly all the rage, but there are two films about yeti—Smallfoot and the upcoming Abominable—in two years, and this movie about a Sasquatch … who goes looking for yeti? Geez, there are some serious yeti lovers in these animation studios, I’ll tell you that. Anyway, Smallfoot was a wonderful surprise—the rare kid’s movie that is funny, smart and subversive. Missing Link hopes to repeat its success with stop-motion comedy-adventure and a pairing of Zach Galifianakis

SECRET FILM FESTIVAL The crown jewel of Santa Cruz’s film culture is the Secret Film Festival, which will celebrate its 14th year when it begins at midnight on Saturday, April 17 at the Del Mar. I won’t even go into how old that makes me feel, since I was at the first one, but I will say that Scott Griffin has never disappointed in delivering a mix of upcoming releases (so secret that he’s not even allowed to reveal what movies he’s going to show, which is where the festival gets its name), indie gems that you won’t see anywhere else, and absolute must-sees for lovers of cult films. Last year, for instance, he delighted the SFF crowd with early viewings of the hit film Hearts Beat Loud and the cult sleeper American Animals, and also gave locals their only chance to the see the acclaimed sci-fi horror film The Endless, among other films. The festival runs for 12 hours straight, on multiple screens, until noon on Sunday. The concession stand is open all night, and pajamas are encouraged. SP Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $26. landmarktheatres.com. and Hugh Jackson as the voices of Link and the explorer who aids his quest. Written and directed by Chris Butler. (PG) 95 minutes. (SP) THE MUSTANG This feature film debut for director Laure de ClermontTonnerre spins a tale of wild horses, regret and redemption set in a high-security prison complex out in the middle of the Nevada desert. As part of their rehab, certain inmates are chosen to break and train the mustangs for auction, and Matthias Schoenaerts delivers a towering, if taciturn performance (it’s all in his eyes) as a prisoner who learns tenderness by bonding with his animal. The analogy between wildspirited mustangs and incarcerated men is hardly novel, yet the nuances of character, story and subtle, yet profoundly felt emotion keep viewers involved. (R) 96 minutes. (LJ) PENGUINS Disney nature documentary follows a young penguin doin’ penguin stuff. Adorbs! Narrated by Ed Helms. (G) 76 minutes. (SP) PET SEMATARY “I don’t want to be buried in a pet cemetery,” the Ramones once sang, and they won’t be alone now that there is a movie remake to revive interest in what was easily Stephen King’s scariest book. The original film adaptation from

1987 was fun but campy, with Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster!) laying on a terrible Maine accent way too thick in lines like,“Sometimes dead is better,” and,“The soil of a man’s heart is stonier, Louis.”The setup here is identical, with a doctor and his family moving to the edge of a small town and discovering that the pet cemetery deep in the woods doesn’t keep pets—or anything else—dead for long. John Lithgow replaces Gwynne as the old neighbor, and even in the trailer you can hear how his delivery is scarier and camp-free. Hopefully the rest of the movie is, too. Directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer. Co-starring Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz. (R) 101 minutes. (SP) SHAZAM! If you liked Captain Marvel, why not try … the other Captain Marvel! Yup, that was the original name of this DC character, who lost his copyright to Marvel Comics. The gimmick was that he was really just a boy, Billy Batson, who could turn into an adult superhero by shouting “Shazam!” That premise gets played for laughs big time in this adaptation; apparently DC has figured out people don’t want an endless stream of grimdark Zach Snyder comicbook movies. Directed by David F. Sandberg. Starring Zachary Levi, Michelle Borth and Djimon Hounsou. (PG-13) 132 minutes. (SP)

REFINED SUGAR The strawberry and white chocolate macaron at Alderwood. PHOTO: LIZ BIRNBAUM

Beefing Up APRIL 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Alderwood offers aged cuts, oysters and surprisingly good vegetables for a steakhouse BY CHRISTINA WATERS

o urban-hip, yet very Santa Cruz, the new Alderwood is already more than the sum of its parts. I can’t remember the last time I went to a New American steakhouse and came away impressed by the bravura treatment of seasonal vegetables. And the dessert! Outfitted in Beto-O’Rourke-style Western gear, the kinetic waitstaff are everywhere at once, joining a large team of mixologists and chefs who keep the high-energy operation moving. Surrounded by a gleaming bar, exhibition kitchen and booths that line the restaurant’s perimeter, the central seating area offers the attractive and comfortable

appointments that distinguish this dinner house. Good-looking table settings—from tasteful glassware to sophisticated serving pieces— reinforce the guiding concept: food, drink and people are the main attractions. The Alderwood cheeseburger, especially when joined by the signature onion rings, has already achieved epic status. The comprehensive oyster offerings deserve an article unto themselves. But we were here for dinner, and we were rewarded by bold flavors and presentation. From our cozy booth (the term “cozy” requires some latitude, given the noise level) we could watch a long table of extended

family members celebrating a birthday, real housewives of Aptos celebrating their cocktails, and a cross-section of entrepreneurs occupying the bar. Alderwood looks to be a great place for people-watching and business deals. Romantic trysts? Not so much. Generous pours of Cantos de Valpiedra Tempranillo ($12) and an excellent Thomas Fogarty Pinot Noir ($15)—both served at exactly the right, slightly cool temperature— started us off. Our food arrived in stages, which began, rather abruptly, with a plate of sliced, 8-ounce Heart of Ribeye ($38). Joined by a bowl of thick, green peppercorn sauce Bordelaise ($7), the aged midwestern

beef proved delicious and juicy, if not life-changing. Soon arrived the sides (these were my main dishes) of grilled asparagus ($15), beet tartare ($15) and remarkable potatoes glazed with parsley pesto, bits of bacon and mustard ($15). In a moment of culinary drama, I was next presented with a grilled scallop ($15) nestled in the central thumbprint niche of a large rectangular plate. The scallop sat on a cushion of cauliflower puree, topped with balsamic and a ribbon of smoked hog jowl. Pretty damn spectacular and yes, worth its price tag. Only the dice of smoked beets, onions and pickled mustard seeds proved underwhelming. The rest of these lavish sides were addictive, especially the enormous bowl of potatoes, from which four people might have feasted with abandon. Plump spears of asparagus arrived dotted with micro-squares of Asian pear (great crunch!), and garlanded by ribbons of fried shallot. With the spring asparagus came a large bowl of green curry—excellent and very spicy. Great, but unnecessary. Along with fresh drip preparation of decaf coffee ($7) served in sleek porcelain cups, we shared one of the house desserts, a strawberry and white chocolate macaron ($10). This spectacular dish turned out to be the highlight of our meal, and I say this as an avowed fan of cheese at the end of a meal. Truly gorgeous, the substantial macaron—a pillow of white chocolate diplomat pastry cream studded with strawberries inside the tender almond meringue sandwich—was joined on the plate by an oval of salted strawberry ice cream, crumbles of white chocolate and fresh strawberries. Our two forks worked swiftly until nothing remained of this creation. Simply a knockout! A destination dessert. Noise level be damned, writing this makes me want to go back to Alderwood right now! The service continues to fine-tune, which is a good thing. But the food already justifies the hype. Open Sunday-Thursday 4-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday until 11 p.m. Closed Monday.

ow here’s a just-released Pinot Grigio with some spunk. There’s nothing flabby or mundane about Integrity Wines’ 2018 Pinot Grigio from Monterey. Quite the opposite. This full-bodied, pale yellow wine has delightful notes of lemon rind and grapefruit, with a hint of white peach. “It has refreshing salinity and delicate herbaceous aromas,” says Integrity winemaker and owner Mark Hoover. And on the palate, “bright and balanced acidity leads, along with tart Granny Smith apple skin, chalky minerality and a suggestion of almond skin.” The spiciness in this Pinot Grigio makes it a good pairing with fresh seafood, chicken and capers in a light cream sauce, or a caprese salad. The mineral elements and dry finish also make this a great aperitif to enjoy on its own, Hoover says. Integrity excels at making aromatic Pinot Grigio—and the price is right, too. I found this wine at Deer Park Wine & Spirits for $18. Situated in Deer Park Shopping Center near Deluxe Foods, this well-stocked liquor store has an impressive inventory of local wines. Pinot Grigio is also called Pinot

Gris, meaning “grey Pinot,” since the grapes are a pinkish-grey color, but the wine is actually white. There’s a lot of cheap Pinot Grigio out there, so beware of the mouthpuckering stuff and buy a well-made version such as Hoover’s. His modus operandi is all about integrity: “Integrity is not just about the wine itself,” he says on his label. “It’s about everyone who helped create this wine experience. It’s complete when we add you.” Tasting room open noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; Monday-Friday by appointment.

Wilder Ranch

Garden Day and tours show how Wilders ate 100 years ago BY JACOB PIERCE

Did the Wilders eat tortillas? SKY BIBLIN: There’s a diverse history here. When the California mission system was dismantled, we entered the Mexican period. The Castro family had a land grant here. There was a Russian citizen who jumped ship in Monterey and changed his name and converted to Catholicism. He married into the Castro family. This was the 1830s, and their adobe still stands. The tortilla making is done right next to that.

What goes into the heirloom garden? We replicate things that would have been here back 100 years ago and use what’s available to us via donations, while also incorporating plants that have resilience to pests. We have some serious ground squirrels.

People sounded busy. When did they have time to catch up on Netflix? Working on the ranch was a hard life—making a living here in this harsh environment. This really was the frontier. There was electricity only because they harnessed the power here. This was on the fringe of society. But when you go home at night, you’re a totally different person. It was the same thing here. Because they were successful and hard-working, they had luxuries that were not common in the day. If you go on a tour, you’ll see there’s a phonograph, and a player piano. They’ve got all these pictures of them playing around and dressing up their dog. Garden Planting and Wool Day will run 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, at Wilder Ranch, 1401 Coast Rd. Tours will be offered both Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28, at 1 p.m. The events are free. Parking is $10.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES ILLUMINATIONS OF EACH DAY Aries is always the first sign of the new spiritual year. It is the seed pushing forth the first two leaves (they look like rams’ horns, the Aries sign) emerging from the Earth during spring. Aries (sign, person, time), the first sign of the zodiac, holds the force of creation. However, Aries realizes that it is only with patience and time that the creative force can come into practical focus and substance. Aries’ fire is unable to complete tasks and projects. Completion is not the task of Aries; that is the task of Taurus. Aries hands the initiating fiery ideas from the Mind of God to Taurus for anchoring, application and completion. And so here we are in Taurus for a month. Taurus is the sign of desire. It is also the sign of aspiration. Taurus lives within slow time. Taurus ponders things deeply before coming to any final decisions. During Taurus, it’s good

to understand the planetary frequencies available and influencing us each day. Sunday: the sun guiding us, illuminating our mind to look toward the week ahead. Monday’s moon helps us nurture daily home life. Tuesday: Mars helps to ensure that our actions and power are expressed with kindness, wisdom and in a rhythmic regulatory way, creating Goodwill. Mercury, the messenger, rules Wednesday, providing us with discernment and discrimination as to what is right and what is not right. Thursday is Jupiter’s day, offering the qualities of generosity, expansion, love, and joy. Friday, Venus guides us into experiences of beauty and Right Relations. Venus unifies all separations. Saturday is Saturn’s day, helping us learn more, clarify all matters, complete our past week and create new structure for the days and weeks ahead.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Past abilities and gifts emerge in your daily life. There are many, and they are good. Wounds go into hiding for a while. Tend with mindfulness to all daily tasks, especially if traveling. Responsibilities increase; love increases, too. Find Taurus people and communicate with them. They comfort you. Be prudent with money while also tithing and sharing.

In daily life, you’ve become prudent, disciplined, focused, reliable, industrious, serious, reserved, patient, and persevering. You’ve assumed more and more responsibilities. Some Librans have stepped into a healing role. Are you, however, the one in need of healing? Do not allow any type of insecurity or inhibitions to limit you. Think these through. Be only with those who care for, love, support, and see you as perfect.

#THELEGIONLIFE JUST GOT EVEN BETTER

WITH A NEW LOWER PRICE ON LEGION HIGH INTENSITY PODS JUST ANOTHER REASON TO #LOVETHELEGION

TAURUS Apr21–May21 In these times, as the reorientation of humanity and our economy continues, you tell us why and how and what to prepare for life on the edge, life without comforts, and how to still maintain the art of living. It’s time to gather materials for a greenhouse. Old wood-framed glass doors and windows will do.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 So many responsibilities call you. And whatever does, no matter when, you must do your very focused best to tend with care and mindfulness. Two directions imply an opposition, which creates much resistance at first. Later, acceptance comes, and a blending of the many. Your intuition is active, wanting to bring forth synthesis. Ask for more information and ask for all that you need. Then wait for the subtle quiet answers in response.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

Many of us are experiencing inflammation and pain, especially in the knees (Saturn, south node, Pluto in Capricorn). Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory. Preparing East Indian (or ayurvedic) foods are best for healing and digestion. Indian spices have health benefits—turmeric is antiinflammatory, as is coriander (it also contains magnesium); cayenne and black pepper for warmth; cumin aids in digestion; chilis have Vitamin C. Dry roast the spices, then add ghee (clarified butter). These are nurturing Capricorn/ Saturn health tips. Capricorn is your opposite sign.

Tending to self is your Easter season task. Is there contact, communication and emotional support with and from family? Are many things from the past remaining behind the scenes and hidden away? You can no longer stay hidden. Leo is the light of life for others. Leo is to discover their creative loving self, like a found object of self. We are to discover that we are each an art form. Leo is to discover this first.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Focus on serving others and not on anything else. Sometimes it’s hard to do our work with concentration and dedication. However, if we have an intention to do something in a certain way, like focusing on our intention to serve, then it becomes easier. What you receive by doing this is a clear and grounded sense of self. The wound that’s always hurting will slowly dissolve. Clarity of vision and purpose then emerge. You need all of these.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 There’s a new state of creativity flowing through you. Music, very important at this time, must be in your environments at all times. Travel, study, culture, sculpting, hiking, archery, horse tending and/or riding are past abilities, talents and gifts you can again cultivate. Tend to mundane tasks carefully and honor the details. Blessings create new and deeper awareness and responses.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Home, for so long in a state of here and not here, now assumes a more defined reality. Bring in bright colors— plants, vines, cactus, aquariums, Tibetan art, lights, and a flash of neon. They create the style you seek. Home is your sangha (refuge), sanctuary and retreat. Try not to be at odds with anyone. Tend to all tasks with constancy and loving care. You are to expand into a new identity, growth and development.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 The tension and pressure you’re feeling can be used creatively. Know that a self-transformation is slowly coming your way. Cooperation is available from everyone. Teaching others to cooperate nurtures them and you. Everyone sees you as someone of great value, providing you with the courage needed that transforms all situations. You answer to needs. You are the harmony after the conflict. All that you do is good.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It’s important to secure your money and not use it indiscriminately. It’s also important to share it with those in need. Your money should be used to safeguard your future, work and family. Invest with others in land, consider what it would take to build an agrarian community. Assess the world situation, and be the first to communicate what you see. A new world is coming. You will play a major part in its establishment.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Is your daily life feeling somewhat shrouded in a mist? Can you assess your present daily needs and priorities? You want to be practical while initiating new goals. Relationships are expanding. How will this affect your life? Do you think about serving others? Serving is a Virgo task, your hidden sign. Always the world calls to you. Always you respond with grace.

I know. Sewer laterals aren’t exactly the kind of warm and fuzzy topic you look forward to reading about over a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning. It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it. Might as well be me since the subject of sewer laterals has been on my mind lately. All that infrastructure that underlies our neighborhoods is usually out of sight and out of mind for most of us. We flip a switch, turn on a faucet or flush a toilet and typically we don’t give much thought to what happens next as long as the lights come on and we get to wash our clothes and hopefully have toilets that are clean enough for our dogs to drink out of. Rural homeowners have a heightened sense that there’s more to it all than that. It comes with the turf, as they say, when they have individual wells and septic and propane tanks and may have need of a gas-powered generator a dozen times a year when the power goes out. But times are changing for homeowners living on the urban service line. And some of those changes are going to take people by surprise when they decide to sell their homes. The County has enacted a new sewer lateral ordinance that includes more aggressive enforcement of older regulations that are already on the books. Here’s a quick rundown: Everyone has to have a Sewer Lateral Video inspection at their own expense prior to selling their home. The video has to be shot in certain ways by certain approved plumbing contractors. Videos are submitted to the County for review to decide whether each sewer lateral is functioning properly.

Time for a quick show of hands...how many homeowners have the faintest idea about what shape their sewer lateral pipes are in? If you didn’t raise your hand, pay attention and read on...this is info that could have an impact on your largest asset.

It there are breaks, offsets, roots, holes, bad connections, etc., they will prescribe necessary fixes. Houses can’t close escrow until repairs are completed. And in most instances plumbers cannot be paid out of escrow. So let’s stop there and let that information slosh through the laterals of your brain. Next week we’ll explore ways the new ordinance could affect the outcome of your next home sale. Meanwhile, email me for a homeowner’s info packet on sewer laterals.

JANET FINE, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

SHOP PERS ’ SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Cabrillo College photography lab technician Hobbies: Art/mixed media, hiking with my dog, cooking, playing poker, succulent gardening You prefer shopping local like Shopper’s Corner? Yes. I’m that person that annoys my friends who shop at chain stores. I don’t want Santa Cruz to look like all the other towns. It’s important to support our family-owned businesses. I have lived with friends who worked at local businesses, so I know what it’s like when a chain comes in. Shopper’s carries many local products, and I find some of my favorites here such as Companion bread, Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co. coffees, Glaum eggs, plus chocolates, ice cream, and, of course, the organic produce. Oh, and Venus gin!

What do you like to cook? I’ve cooked in restaurants. I get inspired by looking at Shopper’s ingredients because they’re so visually appealing. I’m an intuitive cook, but I also look at recipes and go at it. I enjoy cooking for friends, potlucks and events. I do love to grill chicken, sausages, occasionally baby back ribs, and seafood. Shopper’s butchers are nice and so helpful. Same with the wine guys’ advice. Shopper’s service is tops! They special-ordered an all-natural frozen pie crust I use when making quiches. Now they carry it in spelt, whole wheat and white flour. I like that Shopper’s has many organics.

You have fun shopping here? Yes.The staff is really nice. It doesn’t feel like they’re made to say hello. Shopper’s environment is affected positively because of the wooden floors, plus it’s cozy. Shopper’s has the total package; you look forward to coming here.Almost every time I come here, I see someone that I know. So you don’t want to look too bad! People may ask me, ‘Isn’t Shopper’s expensive?’ I say,‘Why, because it looks nice?’ People equate “cheap” or “deals” with big florescent lighting and when they see something that looks nice, like Shopper’s, they think ‘expensive’ but it’s not.Trust me!
