LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22

I believe your persuasive powers will be stronger than usual in the weeks ahead. The words coming out of your mouth will sound especially interesting. I also suspect that your intelligence will get at least a temporary upgrade. The clarity of your thoughts will intensify. You will see truths you have been blind to in the past. Innovative solutions to long-running dilemmas are likely to occur to you. The only potential snag is that you might neglect to nurture your emotional riches. You could become a bit too dry and hard. But now that I've warned you of that possibility, let's hope you will take steps to ensure it won't happen.

"There is always an enormous temptation in all of life," writes Annie Dillard, "to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end â&#x20AC;Ś I won't have it. The world is wider than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright." Your assignment in the coming weeks, Libra, is to transcend whatever is itsy-bitsy about your life. The alternative? Head toward the frontier and drum up experiences that will thrill your heart and blow your mind.

TAURUS April 20-May 20

"We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours," writes novelist Heidi R. Kling. That's good advice for you to keep in mind these days, Scorpio. Those little imps and rascals that live within you may get you into bad trouble if they feel bored. But if you arrange for them to have play dates with the imps and rascals of people you trust, they are far more likely to get you into good trouble. They may even provide you with bits of gritty inspiration. What's that you say? You don't have any demons? Not true. Everyone has them.

If there was a Hall of Fame for scientists, physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727) would have been the charter member. He was like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were to rock and roll, like Babe Ruth was to baseball. The theory of gravity and the three laws of motion were his gifts to the world. He made major contributions to mathematics and optics, and was a central figure in defining modern science. There is also a legend that he invented the cat door, inspired by his pet felines. Whether or not that's true, it serves as an excellent metaphor for this horoscope. It's an excellent time for you to apply your finest talents and highest intelligence to dream up small, mundane, but practical innovations.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 During the next 12 months, you will have exceptional opportunities to soak up knowledge, add to your skill set, and get the training you need to pursue interesting kinds of success in the coming six to eight years. What's the best way to prepare? Develop an exciting new plan for your future education. To get in the mood, try the following: make a list of your most promising but still unripe potentials, meditate on the subjects that evoke your greatest curiosity, brainstorm about what kinds of experiences would give you more control over your destiny, and study three people you know who have improved their lives by taking aggressive steps to enhance their proficiency.

The moon shows us a different phase every 24 hours, which makes it seem changeable. But in fact, not much actually happens on the moon. It has no atmosphere, no weather, no wind, no plant life, no seasons. There is some water, but it's all frozen. Is there anything like this in your own life, Cancerian? Something that on the surface of things seems to be in constant motion, but whose underlying state never actually shifts or develops? According to my analysis, now would be an excellent time for you to revise the way you understand this part of your world, and then update your relationship with it.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22

Week of May 21

Have you thought of organizing a crowdfunding campaign to boost your pet project or labor of love? I suggest you get serious about it in the next four weeks. This coming phase of your cycle will be a favorable time to expand your audience, attract new allies, and build a buzz. You will have a sixth sense about how to wield your personal charm to serve your long-term goals. More than usual, your selfish interests will dovetail with the greater goodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps in unexpected ways.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Years ago, I had a Virgo friend who was a talented singer. She had technical skill, stylistic flair, and animal magnetism, making her worthy of being a lead vocalist in almost any great band. And yet when she was asleep and had dreams of performing, she often found herself standing in the shadows, barely visible and singing tentatively, while her back-up singers hogged the spotlight at center stage. Moral of the story: Some of you Virgos are shy about claiming your full authority. It doesn't always come easy for you to shine your light and radiate your power. And yet you can most definitely learn to do so. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make progress in this direction.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 "When people tell you who they are, believe them," writes blogger Maria Popova (Brainpickings.org). "Just as importantly, however, when people try to tell you who you are, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe them." Those suggestions are especially crucial for you to keep in mind these days. You are entering a phase when your best relationships will be up for review and revision and revitalization. To foster an environment in which intimacy will thrive, you've got to be extra receptive, curious, tolerant, and tender. That's all! Not hard, right? A good place to start is to proceed as if your allies know who they are better than you doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even as you ask them to return the favor.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 "Kludge" (pronounced klooj) is a slang word that refers to a clumsy but effective fix for an engineering problem. It's a cobbled-together solution that works fine, at least temporarily, even though it is inelegant, or seems farfetched. Let's use this concept in a metaphorical way to apply to you. I'm guessing that you will be a kludge master in the coming days. You will be skilled at making the best of mediocre situations. You may have surprising success at doing things that don't come naturally, and I bet you will find unexpected ways to correct glitches that no one else has any idea about how to fix.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 I hesitate to compare you to your fellow Aquarian Kim Jong-il. When he was alive and ruling North Korea, he was an egomaniacal tyrant. You're definitely not that. But there are certain descriptions of him in his official biography that remind me of the kinds of powers you may soon exhibit. He was called the Great Sun of Life and Highest Incarnation of Revolutionary Comradely Love, for instance. Titles like that might suit you. It is said that he invented the hamburger. He could command rain to fall from the sky. He once shot 11 holes-in-one in a single round of golf, was a master of gliding down waterslides, and never had to use a toilet because he produced no waste. You may be able to express comparable feats in the coming weeks. (Do it without falling prey to excessive pride, OK?)

PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Even if you had a sensitive, nurturing mommy when you were growing up, and even if she continues to play an important role in your life, now would be a good time to learn how to mother yourself better. You are finally ready to appreciate how important it is to be your own primary caregiver. And I'm hoping you are no longer resistant to or embarrassed about the idea that part of you is still like a child who needs unconditional love 24/7. So get started! Treat yourself with the expert tenderness that a crafty maternal goddess would provide.

Homework: Name a beautiful thing you were never capable of doing until this past year.

camp/village concept for housing the homeless. We can do that here. Whether it happens or not is up to the community. I feel deep sorrow for the way that people can't get a break from the difficulties they face if they are experiencing homelessness. I want the whole community to respond as if it were their mother, or their brother or sister—or father, or uncle, aunt, cousin—who just needs a chance to have a safe place to be. We all could use a little help from time to time.

BLIGHT MAKES RIGHT? Interesting intersection on these stories with our leaders worried about neighborhood “blight” (apparently people sleeping in the streets do not blight the properties of their patrons, many of whom are real estate developers). Very odd that it is legal for developers to make campaign contributions, and even odder that our candidates brag about which ones they have captivated. PAUL COCKING | SANTA CRUZ

HELLO, EVERY BODY Past Wellness columns have looked into atypical wellness subjects like the Human Microbiome Project’s holistic approach to understanding germs.

Wellness: An Introduction Why I let people pour butter in my eyes | BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

reetings, Good Times readers. It is with pleasure and deep consideration that I introduce you to Wellness, which formerly ran in the Santa Cruz Weekly every two weeks, and which will continue to do so here, starting now. If you are bracing yourself for crystal energy and flower essences, or instructions on how to force-feed your kids kale, it’s understandable, considering how “wellness” is sometimes narrowly defined. But, while I have nothing against crystals (and someday I'd like to get to the

bottom of those alleged healing properties), it's the science that I'm after. That and serving you, vibrant Santa Cruz. I began writing about the wellness community here a year and a half ago, with an interview of a child who developed an app that displays Yoga positions—an electronic stand-in for your flesh and blood yoga teacher. My next story led me to stop eating sugar for ten days, in preparation to interview the “Sugar Slayer of Capitola.” I welcomed each column with the ravenous hunger to do what I love:

investigate the truth, and deliver the facts. Over the course of more than 50 columns, I've researched as much as possible first-hand: I've had hot ghee poured into my eye sockets, slurped Pu-erh tea with a barefoot zen master, and scrutinized my own plasma under a microscope for telltale signs of too much gluten. I've gone on a 10-day anti-candida cleanse, (promising to come back and willingly starve in a five-day raw food cleanse), and entered a public bath house for the first time, naked and afraid, to investigate the science of saunas.

Luckily for us all, Santa Cruz is a healing town. Our abundant farmers markets and health food stores runneth over with doctors and practitioners, shamans and healers. In Santa Cruz, you can't walk on the beach without running into a bamboo-stick-wielding chiropractor, or size up a bundle of dandelion greens without rubbing elbows with a self-proclaimed mystic. The very essence of this town vibrates with the delicate promise of physical, emotional and spiritual balance. But as convenient as this is for a column that investigates the multitude of ways we seek to optimize our time spent on Earth, I'm loath to let this column be a mere vehicle for free advertising space, a tired regurgitation of the services available. Wellness exists to answer the fundamental questions we have about how our bodies and minds work—how our brains store memories, for instance, or the role that dreams play in our overall well-being. It examines blossoming trends, like coconut water and life-coaching, and delves into the nutritional properties of green tea versus coffee. It touches on the physical and psychological mechanisms of addiction, and it's not afraid to investigate lessaccepted modalities either, like energy healing and psychedelic research. This is precisely where you come in, Santa Cruz. I've been wanting to take your pulse for a long time. What ails you? What makes you glow? What burning questions do you have about nutrition, health, spirituality, psychology and, yes, wellness? Do carrots really improve our vision? Can cigarette smokers be runners, too? Who can benefit from fasting, and how do we do it safely? What brain chemicals are at play when we fall in love, and how do we prolong the euphoria? These are a few of the questions simmering on my desktop, and I look forward to adding yours. Now, let's collectively chant the sound of Om, three times.

WAITING GAMES State lawmakers haven’t taken a close look at the death penalty since its last execution seven years ago BY TOM GOGOLA

MIDAS TOUCH Local arts icon Ralph Peduto, who gained national exposure for his film work and series of ‘Nobody Beats

Midas’ TV commercials, died May 12 at the age of 72.

Nobody Beats Ralph Ralph Peduto (1942-2014) was a creative force on the Santa Cruz arts scene for 35 years | BY GEOFFREY DUNN

’VE BEEN feeling a great sense of loss lately—a profound numbness framed by a dark void—with the death of several close friends this spring. Last week, I received an email from Kara Guzman of the Santa Cruz Sentinel informing me of the death of my longtime paisan Ralph Peduto, following a short bout with leukemia. He was 72. The news broke through the

numbness. It stung. Ralph was a great actor and manabout-town who I had first met during the summer of 1978, when he was performing in a play, That Championship Season, staged by my high-school pal Richard Wygant at the long-defunct Staircase Theater in Soquel. It was a moving production. During the play’s run, Ralph and I struck up a conversation that

continued for three-and-a-half decades. We shared a common Italian heritage—he from Jersey City, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, me from Santa Cruz—and let’s just say the discussions often became animated. And agitated. You could take the boy out of Jersey, but you couldn’t take Jersey out of the boy. That Championship Season was Ralph’s first acting gig, >16

Clarence Ray Allen was put to death in San Quentin State Prison’s death chamber, making him the last person executed in California. That was Jan. 17, 2006. The “cocktail” administered to Allen was similar to the one used in the April 29 execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma—a combination of a sedative, a paralytic and a heart-stopping dose of potassium chloride. The Oklahoma debacle—which resulted in Lockett suffering a heart attack— highlighted problems with lethal injection as California struggles to put its own death-house in order. “This ought to be a warning to California as it contemplates its next protocol,” says Elisabeth Semel, director of the Death Penalty Clinic at UC Berkeley School of Law. Semel highlights the state’s history of inadequate training and monitoring of corrections officials charged with administering lethal dosages, and “real questions about whether people have suffered” as a result. When a federal judge halted executions in California in 2006, she notes, he did so in part because of evidence that 6 of 11 executions had gone awry. Allen was sentenced to death in 1980 for orchestrating two murders while serving a life sentence for the killing of Mary Sue Kitts in 1974. Allen’s attorney, Michael Satris, recalls that his elderly client was in such poor health that he “couldn’t even make it under his own strength to the chamber— they had to lift and carry him.” Allen was administered a second dose of potassium in order to complete the execution, since his heart would not stop beating. After the Allen execution, the state couldn’t find a medical technician willing to administer the drugs to the next person up for the ultimate penalty: Michael Morales.

RALPH PEDUTO <15

but he assured me that he was committed for the long haul—that the magic of the stage was in his blood. Ralph was consumed by the concept of becoming thoroughly engaged in the “creative enterprise,” as he called it, about putting one’s heart and passion and dreams on the line, and forging a work of art in the process. He did this in his acting and in his writing, on stage and on screen, as a radio announcer and in his acting classes that he taught locally for decades, always with great focus and dedication and a delightful joie de vivre. A well-known and recognizable figure in Santa Cruz County, Ralph was seemingly ubiquitous. He was a regular in coffee houses, especially in downtown Santa Cruz, where he loved taking in the colorful parade of characters. He would show up for art openings and book signings, play and film premieres, political gatherings and protests, and if he was never quite a dominant force on the scene, he always a consistent presence. During the mid-1990s, Ralph also became a frequent figure on television, when he landed a gig as the pitchman in a series of commercials for Midas mufflers. At the end of the commercial, the camera would zoom in close, and Ralph, dressed in mechanic’s garb, would proffer: “Nobody beats Midas. No-buh-dee.” The commercials ran regionally and nationally. For years afterward, people would come up to Ralph and utter those lines. His wife Laura and son Maro told me that it actually happened in the hospital room where he died. I remember one entire lunch where Ralph tried to teach me the exact intonation he had used. I must have repeated the lines 30 times, never quite getting them perfectly. The people around us must have thought we were nuts. And he always laughed about it. He took his art and his family and his craft seriously, but never himself. He was self-effacing until the end. I think in some ways the success of the Midas commercials distorted, or even diminished, the perception

in the community of Ralph’s prodigious talents as an actor. When I nominated Ralph for a Gail Rich Award (which he received in 2000), a mutual “friend” of ours dismissed Ralph’s acting abilities because of the commercials. I was more than a bit infuriated. Ralph had amassed an absolutely remarkable resumé in more than 40 major Hollywood films and television shows. He played a cop in Mrs. Doubtfire and an organizer in Patch Adams, both starring Robin Williams, whose work Ralph admired greatly. He had TV gigs on Cheers, Family Law and General Hospital. He also starred in a non-commercial short film, The Retirement, in which he played a hitman sent out on one last job. He nailed the role.

He took his art and his family and his craft seriously, but never himself. He was self-effacing until the end. Ralph was an absolutely devoted family man—to his wife Laura, to his children Maro and Oceanna, and, later, to his six grandchildren. For several years, he lived weekdays in Los Angeles with filmmaker Mark Schwartz, commuting six hours to and fro, so that he could be with his family on weekends. Sometimes I would stay in his L.A. room (it was more like a closet) when he was back north, and we’d play little practical jokes on each other by leaving notes or other comical objects for the other to discover. It was a grueling grind for Ralph, but I never once heard him complain about it. Not about the commute, at least. He loved driving home to his family late on Friday nights, and basking in their warmth until Monday morning rolled around. Family meant everything to him. But Ralph did complain about Hollywood—the pretensions, the nepotism, the shallowness, the cutthroat environment, the utter

absence of loyalty. He was critical of the Hollywood scene without ever quite getting cynical. It was a fine line he danced upon, but never crossed, at least not with me. For a quarter-century, that dance represented his professional life. In 2003, he wrote and starred in a brilliant one-man play about his days in L.A.—his masterpiece, really— Butt-Naked in Tinseltown, which was staged throughout California (I proudly confess to seeing it five times, wherever it was staged). Using his own career as fodder, Ralph creatively explored the promise and folly of a mainstream acting career—and his determined pursuit of the Hollywood dream, only to encounter disappointment time and time again. But Ralph never stayed down for long. He was remarkably buoyant. I remember running into him one day on the Esplanade in Capitola, only a few hours after he learned that he had been cut out entirely from a film (a not uncommon experience in Hollywood). He was despondent about it, but during the course of our conversation, I saw him already molding that energy into a positive force for getting back in the saddle— which, of course, he did. Our mutual friend, the writer Wallace Baine, reminded me that Ralph had a special nickname that he would call out to him in that Jersey-bred quasi-Goodfellas accent of his: “Hey, Wally B!” And he did the same with me: “Hey, Geo-D! Whassup?!?!” And he would greet me with his beautiful high-voltage smile, a firm grip or hug, always very present and connected. Several months ago now, Ralph and I had lunch together at Ristorante Avanti, at which he gave me a copy of his novel, American Maze, which I promised to read this coming summer, and we penciled in another lunch to discuss it. I was looking forward to our get together. I guess I’ll have to wait until another lifetime. Ralph’s bright flame burned out too soon. There will be a celebration of the life of Ralph Peduto on Sunday, June 1, 2 p.m., at Santa Cruz Memorial Oakwood Chapel, 3301 Paul Sweet Road, Santa Cruz.

WAITING GAMES <15 Jeremy Fogel ended the practice and directed the state to come up with new protocols. Seven years later, it hasn’t done so. Allen was executed in the former San Quentin gas chamber, and the state built a lethal-injection chamber in 2008 that remains unused. Gov. Jerry Brown has pushed for the adoption of a single-drug protocol, but pharmaceutical companies have stopped selling the drug, sodium thiopental. Meanwhile, former governors Gray Davis, Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian have thrown their support behind a proposed November measure that would sharply limit capital-case appeals and leave it to local drug companies to provide the drugs to San Quentin, outside of public scrutiny. The ballot measure follows a national trend whereby officials have refused to reveal the source of the execution drugs. Oklahoma had experimentally administered the short-acting sedative

midazolam to Lockett. He regained consciousness in the middle of the procedure. Lockett eventually died of a heart attack. Under the California ballot initiative underway, there would be no public review of the drugs’ origins. Pharmaceutical companies have largely stopped supplying drugs for use in lethal injections. A 2010 Los Angeles Times story reported that Gov. Brown had purchased sodium thiopental sufficient for four executions, but the state refused to say where it had gotten the drugs. “The more we know about the drugs being used, the greater we guard against the chance of this happening again,” says Semel. Proposition 34, a 2012 ballot measure, would have ended executions in California and commuted the sentences to life without parole. It failed with 48 percent voting in favor. The close vote revealed that attitudes about capital punishment had tightened in a state where the practice has long been the costliest ($4

billion spent for 13 executions since its reinstatement in 1978, according to a 2011 study) and most inefficient in the country, owing to lengthy appeals and judicial review. There’s also the question of innocence. A few states have suspended capital punishment after death-row inmates were exonerated. A just-released study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) found that “if all death-sentenced defendants remained under sentence of death indefinitely, at least 4.1 percent would be exonerated.” In California, there were 741 people on death row as of late 2013. The NAS figures indicate that two dozen or more of them are innocent of the charge that put them there. Despite its de facto moratorium, California led the nation in capital-crime convictions in 2013, as reported by the national Death Penalty Information Center. That year, 24 individuals were added to the ranks of the condemned.

County residents are spoiled for choices when it comes to shopping for specialty food products. Numbers show the love we have for artisan breads and handcrafted cheeses is increasingly shared by consumers across the country. Americans spent $86 billion on specialty food items in 2012, a 22 percent increase over 2010—making the specialty food sector one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., according to a 2013 report by the Specialty Food Association and Mintel. And with such a storied history of agriculture in Santa Cruz’s South County, there might be something exciting brewing around Watsonville, amidst signs that growers and foodies are ready to take business into their own hands—and have

an increasingly bigger toolbox with which to do so. Policy shifts, such as California’s 2013 cottage food law, should make life easier for people who want to go into business from their own kitchens. The cottage food law allows smallscale specialty food producers to craft certain products in their homes, enabling folks to make extra income, or build a hobby into a viable business. These trends spell opportunity for locals who want to realize their dream of starting their own businesses, says Carmen Herrera-Mansir, who’s helping to organize a conference on May 28 in downtown Watsonville. Herrera-Mansir is the executive director of El Pajaro Community Development Corporation (CDC), a Watsonville agency that supports microentrepreneurs and is putting on the event, which will focus on business and marketing,

and could provide platforms for entrepreneurs trying to move past the “cottage food” level. “Our role is to open up horizons for people, and to connect them to bigger markets,” she says. El Pajaro CDC and agency partners are holding the conference and networking event for people interested in starting their own specialty-foodbased business, or those who have a product and want to know how to go to market. People are invited to showcase their food products at the networking reception after the conference. Specialty Food Conference: Micro Goes to Market will be held Wednesday, May 28, at Watsonville Civic Plaza, 275 Main Street, 4th Floor, Watsonville. 722.1224. ROSEANN HERNANDEZ

SACK ATTACK There are now ordinances banning plastic bags and regulating paper ones in all

local jurisdictions except Scotts Valley. There, despite 76 percent support from Scotts Valley residents (according to Civinomics), city councilmembers voted down a proposed ban, 4-1, last month. Councilmembers cited concerns about the impact a possible 10 cent fee would have on people with fixed incomes, and said they would like to see what regulations, if any, state lawmakers come up with. The state version, Senate Bill 270, passed the Assembly’s Natural Resources Committee this month, and would charge 10 cents per paper bag, while also banning plastic ones. New Leaf customers who bring in their own bags can donate to an environmental nonprofit— thanks to the grocery store’s Envirotoken program. Voting for the token recipients runs through the month on New Leaf’s website. JACOB PIERCE

What’s Next for the

NEXTIES

The local awards show gets an extreme makeover on May 30, as Event Santa Cruz’s Matthew Swinnerton takes it to the next level By Steve Palopoli

the Santa Cruz community. In his atypical way, Swinnerton immediately set about making the awards show—which will be presented May 30 at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz—something to talk about. “We’re changing up the whole format,” he says. “We’re keeping some of the traditions. But the presentation is going to be different. Before, there’d be like 250 who would come, and there’d be 100 seats. So 100 people could watch, and everybody would be mingling around. I wanted to put on a show. I love putting on a show.” This particular show could draw as many as 500 people, the biggest showcase ever both for the NEXTies, and for Swinnerton. But re-invention is quickly becoming his stock in trade. In just a few months, he’s evolved his Event Santa Cruz showcases into themed nights: food innovators one night, extreme-sports entrepreneurs another, local musicians the next. From the very first event, which included seven speakers, people expressed sheer disbelief that

he could keep a monthly series featuring so many local innovators going for very long. “Everybody said that!” he says, shaking his head. “‘Why are you doing once a month, that’s too much!’ I have, like, a year-plus of people past this that I can use. I have no problem doing that.” He’s taken a different approach to the NEXTies, too. The show will start out with a video of the balloon the NEXTies crew launched 50 miles into space, loaded up with GoPro cameras, GPS, a redwood sapling, and—secretly hidden away—his son’s C-3PO and R2D2 action figures. He researched the project for two months, getting clearance from the FAA and tracking weather patterns, before launching the rig and then retrieving it off the coast. “The idea is you have this redwood tree, and it’s a sapling, it’s only a couple of months old,” he says. “It already went up to space, then comes back down and puts its roots in Santa Cruz. It correlates with the NEXTies winners— they’re young, but they’re doing

amazing things, and they’re doing them here in Santa Cruz. We’re going to plant the tree somewhere in Santa Cruz.” Then there will musical performances, another NEXTies first. Local hero James Durbin will play, and singer-songwriter Ian Bell, followed by the awards. “Everybody gets five minutes,” says Swinnerton of the winners’ speeches. “I don’t want just an acceptance speech, like ‘I want to thank the Academy’ or whatever, I want them to talk about why they do what they do. I want it to be kind of inspirational. I’m making it kind of young and fast-paced, the presentation of the Nexties. But I want to slow it down for them, to hear about them.” . The NEXTies awards show will be held Friday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz. Tickets are $40 online, $50 at the door, available at santacruznext.org

hen Matthew Swinnerton took over the NEXTies this year, he didn’t want to do a typical awards show. When he started Event Santa Cruz eight months ago, he didn’t want to do a typical speaker series. He doesn’t even want a typical office. He doesn’t want any office. “From Verve to Kaiser Stadium, I feel like that’s my office. I’m at Cruzio, I’m at NextSpace, I’m a member of both. But I feel like most of my conversations are just on Pacific,” says Swinnerton. “I love meeting different people, and finding out what’s interesting to them. And I get to do that all day long. If I’m talking to you, and you’re excited about your job and what you’re doing, that rubs off on me.” It’s hard to imagine a better philosophy for an organizer of the NEXTies, which is no doubt why the Santa Cruz NEXT group asked him to take over the fifth annual edition of their awards, which will once again honor innovators who “create, build and inspire” in

were not about all these amazing perfect cuts, and the lighting. We were more like guerrilla filmmakers. But it has a lot of heart,” says Alba. A lot of other people seemed to think so, too, as the film was accepted into 30 festivals. Ironically, however, there was no place to play it in Watsonville. So they created one. That was the humble beginning of the festival, but by the next year, it had already grown by leaps and bounds, celebrating the 25th anniversary of La Bamba and presenting films at the Mello Center and Cabrillo College. “We’re crazy,” Alba admits. The festival finished its third year in March, with 15 films, along with events featuring filmmakers from the Bay Area, Los Angeles, the Southwest and Mexico City. “We don’t just show films. We create programs,” says Alba. “It’s very important to us to show films that are relevant to the community—they don’t have to be only Latino films—with issues that are important to Watsonville.” | Steve Palopoli

hat kind of movie gets into the Watsonville Film Festival? To co-founder Consuelo Alba, the answer lies beyond film-school flash and production polish. “We present world-class films, but we also present films made by people who are just starting, but who have something to say,” says Alba. “Yes, it’s important to work on the technique and all that, but even more important is to have a message that resonates with people.” Alba can relate to the substanceover-style approach, because she and her husband John Spyer taught themselves how to use everything from cameras to editing software on their way to re-inventing themselves as full-time filmmakers. They had both previously been journalists, working at Watsonville’s bilingual El Andar newspaper before it folded. In 2010, on a trip to Chiapas, they met a healer named Sergio Castro, and built their first documentary short, El Andalon, around his story. “Technically, I can tell you we

ast October, attendees at an otherwise run of the mill Santa Cruz city council meeting were surprised to find in their midst more than a dozen locals sporting life preservation vests. “The response was, ‘Why are you wearing a life vest at city council?’ Well, ’cause we’re talking about paddling!” recalls Greg Pepping, executive director of the Coastal Watershed Council. At that council meeting, he gave a presentation asking the city council to rethink an ordinance that prevents recreation on the river. He was successful, and in the last year, Pepping has spearheaded a local effort to revitalize the San Lorenzo River through hosting numerous kayaking and stand-up paddleboard events. Talking with Pepping, it’s clear that water is the thing he loves most. He lives on a houseboat, and when asked is quick to expound upon the scientific, spiritual, and practical qualities of water, he says, “I geek out on the 104-degree bond angle of water—it’s a special substance,” he says. And to Pepping, the San Lorenzo River, an oft-put-down community

landmark, is no exception. Through community meetings and events all year, Pepping has inspired the public to share their ideas for how to better honor and enjoy the river that flows through our downtown. When discussing the ideas the community has brought forth this year, Pepping brims with excitement. “People want to see river cafes, and people want to have activities. People want to paddle,” he says. “And then all types of events that you can imagine down in the river walk, like music, and arts, and birding tours, and yoga in the park, and movies in the park and food carts—and we’re doing a cross-fit boot camp this summer—and just everything you can imagine that’s fun.” Pepping says he sees a shift in local residents’ attitude toward their environment. “I think the Santa Cruz community is changing, and people want more. We have great nature right in our back yard,” Pepping says, of the ocean, the redwoods and the mountains. “But I want that to be our front yard, too.” | Georgia Perry

s the founder and artistic director of children’s theater company All About Theatre, Lindsey Chester has the benefit of helping countless Santa Cruz kids come into their own. “What we’re about is the growth of the children,” says Chester, who herself performed on stage for the first time at age six, in her native England. “[Parents] see the changes on the stage but also in life. Their schoolteachers start to comment differently. Like, ‘Wow, your child is suddenly reading a report differently,’ or, ‘they’re really confident.’” After a couple hard years—Chester’s young daughter had whooping cough, and the company had to take a backseat—Chester is back in full-fledged theater mode, and the company she founded 11 years ago is enjoying a growth spurt of its own, transitioning to become an official nonprofit. For Chester, the company’s nonprofit status will mean more opportunities for All About Theatre and the kids it serves. “Dollar signs have never come in for me.

“I

t’s an awesome outlet, for people to get in the ocean and surf. If they’re having difficulty in their lives, surfing can provide a little bit of relief,” says Tyler Fox, founder and CEO of Santa Cruz Waves. The key to Fox’s success with the site is clearly his own connection to not just the surfing community, but also the actual surfing experience. The water and the exercise relax Fox, who surfs every other day and was finalist at the Mavericks Invitational this past year. A little paddling provides an energy release for the busy entrepreneur. “There’s a lot of different ways to get that release. There’s surfing. There’s going to the gym and going swimming,” Fox says. “Just the other morning, my roommates and I took our canoe at sunrise and saw dolphins and whales. As long as I’m out doing something really active at least every other day, I feel pretty good.” When Fox made it to the second round of the big-wave Mavericks showdown last year, he had one goal for 2014: make it to the finals. So, it’s little surprise the shredder calls his

placing fourth at this past year’s contest “a dream come true.” Fox is no stranger to monster waves, especially at Mavericks, which he’ll wake up at 5 a.m. to tackle when the swell looms large. He even served as a stunt double for Chasing Mavericks, the film based on the life of Santa Cruz soul surfing legend Jay Moriarty. The film crew told Fox on the dock for the boat that his job would to lose control in a huge wipeout—not something people normally do on purpose. He called the experience “a blast,” although the footage never made the final cut. In a town with so many great surfers, the people who inspire Fox most are locals from his generation who are putting their heads down and pursuing their passions full-steam ahead. Fox’s housemate Kyle Thierman, who created Surfing for Change four years ago, raises awareness about the roles corporations like Bank of America and Mansanto play in damaging pristine coastlines. “Pretty much anyone who’s doing new, creative and exciting things inspires me,” Fox says. | Jacob Pierce

And in large part, I realized that I didn’t know them for the things they had won a NEXTie for, I knew them for what came after. So I feel like the onus is kind of on us now.” | Steve Palopoli

restaurant Assembly has been a huge hit since opening on Pacific Avenue in March. While their rise has often been compared to the Santa Cruz culinary equivalent of empire building, Baker says aggressive growth was never a priority. “I think that every new opportunity has kind of presented itself. I don’t really feel like we’ve so much gone out and sought new ventures,” she says. Neither, of course, have they sat back and rode the success of their projects. (“We’re not really the sitting back types,” says Davis, in full understatement mode.) Instead, they’re very much about saying “yes.” So when Santa Cruz Redevelopment Manager Julie Hendee suggested they move into a downtown kiosk that was opening up, they said yes. When the Beach Street Inn’s Chris Ferrante suggested they bring ice cream to the area around the wharf, they said yes (going a step further, even, with the Picnic Basket). When the Verve Coffee folks said they’d love to have them as a neighbor on 41st Avenue, they said yes. The popularity of those ventures created quite a bit of momentum for Baker and Davis going into Assembly.

Irene Herrmann lives the sound of music |

resh from a concert in Tangier, Morocco, Irene Herrmann was busy whipping up a dish of quail in tamarind sauce when I stopped to visit. A highly sought-after piano teacher and chamber music coach, Herrmann is also known in the Santa Cruz community as the mandolin player with long platinum tresses who performs at the Westside farmers

An astonishingly facile sight reader, Herrmann performs and accompanies vocal ensembles such as the UCSC Concert Choir and the Westside Community Choir. If music's involved, she's there.

BY CHRISTINA WATERS Herrmann is a restless pragmatist with a master’s degree in Performance Practice from UCSC. She believes that music, like food, is a universal language, and she walks the walk by packing her calendar with concert travel throughout the year. "I tell people that I'll do a concert for free if they just pay my travel costs," she says with a laugh. Much of her performing over the past decade

has been influenced by her role as interpreter of the modernist music of Paul Bowles, best known as the author of The Sheltering Sky. Visiting with Bowles in his Tangier home during the last decade of his life, she became a friend, and then ultimately the heir of his musical archives. "At the Tangier concert, I did what I usually do—I play something first," Herrmann explains, "and then I say something about it. I tell a story." On the road as much as she is in residence here in Santa Cruz, Herrmann makes music a big part of every journey. "I have a good ear, and I can sight read quickly, so I can join in with whatever people are playing,” she says. She believes that music crosses all boundaries, and she's as fluent with mandolin, cello, piano, and fiddle as she is with the traditional music of France, Greece, Poland, and Italy. “I also play classical music,” she reminds me, most recently with a string quartet from the Bay Area. Herrmann is convinced that playing “old time” music is “completely different socially than playing classical. It’s more inclusive. Everybody can appreciate it. I love finding the harmonies, the short repetitive refrains. We all have such a bond. I know all of my musical colleagues well, and have for a long time.” One summer, she and her daughter worked on an organic farm in Italy, eating with the family. "After that I promised myself that making noodles from scratch would never be too much trouble," she says. "Music is bonding," says the mother of two daughters, who are themselves expert performers on cello and violin. After the Italian tour, Herrmann will wrap up her summer the same way she has for 30 years. "With a chamber week in Vermont, with 45 other high level players. And we'll just play and play until 3am."

LIP SERVICE Stephen “Frontman Sam” Sams of the Redlight District, which will release its first EP this summer.

For the Record

ith bands and venues constantly changing, Santa Cruz’s underground music scene is always struggling to build momentum. But things are looking up this summer, with two established groups, Vultures at Arms Reach and the Redlight District, unleashing highly anticipated releases. “I was thinking about it the other day,” says Brian Rucker, drummer for Vultures at Arms Reach, as he takes a drag from his dwindling cigarette. “There are some really

great bands in town, and the scene is pretty good right now.” The sludge-metal trio formed in 2011, when bassist Nate Kotila’s jam band bought recording time, but couldn’t make it. Rucker, Kotila and singer-guitarist Travis Howe took the recording time for a heavy, impromptu session. “I was surprised at how well it turned out,” remembers Howe, with a laugh. “I thought, ‘Oh wow, this is pretty good.’" Since then, Vultures has recorded two EPs, both available for free on the band’s Bandcamp page. Their

new release, Colossus, is the band’s first full-length. An appropriately named beast of an album, it begins with VAAR’s familiar sound: heavy, droning riffs absorbing the listener in a timeless haze of sludge influenced by Godflesh, Isis, the Melvins, and, of course, Black Sabbath. However, the band switches it up halfway with a beautifully morose instrumental, which leads into a song that finds Howe abandoning the stereotypical metal scream for clean singing with a pinch of repentance. “We were experimenting with a

whole bunch of weird things,” Kotila says. “But it’s still us,” adds Rucker. On the opposite end of the Santa Cruz scene’s music spectrum is the maverick, four-piece rock ‘n’ roll band the Redlight District. When singer Stephen “Frontman Sam” Sams and guitar player Gauldino “Nano” Guijosa met through a twist of fate and consciousness expansion, after both were abandoned by their friends at a party, the RLD was born, even if they didn’t know it yet. “In the beginning, all we had was a case of wine and an acoustic guitar, both living out of a van,” Guijosa says. “And some clothes,” Sams adds. “All we did was play rock ‘n’ roll.” After several line-up changes, the band found their niche early in 2013, with the addition of local music teacher Dan Leitner on keys and then the thundering beat of Jamie Sanchez on drums. Their debut, four-song demo was released at the beginning of this year (and is free on their Bandcamp page), but RLD has already been holed up at Compound Recordings in Ben Lomond, working on their first EP, Dirty Magazine, to be released this summer. “On the first day, we didn’t know what to expect, since this is our first recording as a band,” says keyboardist Dan Leitner. “But it’s been a great experience.” Dirty Magazine serves up the Redlight District’s traditional, bluesbattered rock ‘n’ roll, twice-fried in psychedelic sauce. “I think we’re just psychedelic people,” Sams says. “It’s something that’s always there.” Sams’ stage presence, Guijosa’s flamenco fingering, Leitner’s keys and Sanchez’s steady tempo make it easy to compare the RLD with the Doors, yet Dirty Magazine exemplifies the band’s reach beyond stereotypes. By drawing influence from jazz, soul and even hip-hop, the band captures the danger of rock, wrapped in a warm, heavy blanket of starry melodies. “With the release of this EP, we can really push things and expand,” explains Sanchez. “We’re just getting started.”

Speakeasy Improv Theater is a newly formed improv comedy troupe, but don’t let that fool you—the actors who comprise it collectively bring a halfcentury of experience to the stage. Performers Mo Kremer, Leslie Rogers, Paula Adler, David Zeltser and Karen Menehan will use audience suggestions to create a completely new, unscripted, play on the spot. Improv comedy is all about being in the moment and going with the flow of what is happening in a scene. Performers have to be ready for anything—a quality that often leads scenes in unexpected, hilarious directions. This is the troupe’s second show and it is appropriate for anyone 16 years of age and up.

OUTDOORS THE ANOMALOUS COASTLINE - NEW BRIGHTON BEACH TO THE PAJARO RIVER Geologic Consultant, Gerald Weber, explains the geologic events and settings that have protected the coastline from New Brighton Beach to the Pajaro River from erosion over the last 150 years. He will take us back 250-300 years when a release of extra sand near Ano Nuevo widened the beaches and continues to replenish the beaches, providing natural shoreline protection. This fascinating perspective in geologic time lays out a compelling explanation of why our shoreline has not eroded while most of coastal California has. Gerald Weber has been investigating geologic problems in California and Hawaii for the last 50 years. 7:00 am -

SUNDAY 5/25 FOR THE LOVE OF DOG When Mickey Rourke won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in 2009 for The Wrestler, he was coming off of several years out of the business. He had been in a dark time, and as he made clear in his acceptance speech, at times his dogs were the only ones who helped him get through it. He told everyone watching, “I want to thank all my dogs. The ones who are here; the ones who aren’t here anymore. Because sometimes when a man’s alone, that’s all you got is your dog, and they meant the world to me.” Honor your dog by attending Armchair Theater’s performance of “For the Love of Dog,” a tribute to man’s best friend featuring dog-themed poetry and prose written throughout history.

MUSIC CALENDAR BIG SANDY & HIS FLY-RITE BOYS

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND TOTOAKE

Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes “pop music.” Elisha Kim, lead singer/songwriter of indie-rockers Totoake, sees one unifying attribute. “To me, pop is just kind of structuring: Verse, chorus, verse chorus, then you have a bridge. You can be as weird as you want to be, if you structure it correctly, and it will probably feel familiar,” Kim says. He recorded his self-titled debut EP last year—which he did all by his lonesome, minus some drum tracks by Christian Rocha—and had pop music on his mind. It’s an offbeat, surreal batch of lo-fi songs, with elements of post-punk, garage-rock and dream-pop, accompanied by distorted vocals—but it’s really catchy.

MAY 21-27, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I didn’t grow up listening to more experimental stuff. I always appreciated a catchy song,” Kim says.

Totoake’s EP of unusual pop gems clocks in at just over a half hour. Since releasing it, Kim has assembled a handful of musicians to make Totoake an actual band. Besides himself on guitars and vocals, the band includes Rocha on drums, Sean Lahey on bass and Theodore Heyer on second guitar. They haven’t recorded anything yet as a group, but Kim is anxious to do so, and to see just what direction the band will head in, which he’s thinking will be a little less in the realm of lo-fi bedroom indie-pop. “All of my band mates are pretty special to me because I took a whole lot of time to actually pick out the ones I wanted to play with,” Kim says. “They are just as much a part of the band as me.” Totoake plays Saturday, May 24 at 9 p.m. in the Catalyst Atrium. Tickets are $10.

THURSDAY 5/22

MIDDLE SPACE COLLECTIVE A classically trained, Bay Area saxophonist, Kurt Stockdale fell in love with improvisational music in his twenties and made it the focus of his own playing. Along with his compositional partner, guitarist Frank Buchanan, he created the Middle Space Collective to further explore improvisation within the parameters of funk, groove, swing and jazz. Rounding out the current incarnation of the collective are Reuben Rogers on bass and Ulysses Owens Jr. who All About Jazz called one of the most talked about drummers on the scene. The group's collective resume includes work with Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Dianne Reeves and Maceo Parker. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 427.2227.

METALACHI There is only one thing you need to know about Metalachi, and that is that they are a mariachi band that covers heavy metal classics. Let that sink in for a minute. No other band in the

world is doing this, and these guys do it pretty well. Ever wondered what “Crazy Train” would sound like with a violin and a trumpet? Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark,” perhaps? Metallica’s “Master of Puppets?” Faith No More’s “Epic?” These guys do it all, and then some. And if you’re wondering, the answer is yes, they dress the part as well. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $10/door. 423.1338.

CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD A side project of the Black Crowes frontman, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood was created in 2011 with the aim of playing shows in California, having a good time, and seeing where the music led. Where it led them was down a Dead-inspired, psychedelic-rock path of stretched out jams and loose compositions. The Brotherhood's new album, Phosphorescent Harvest, is slightly less jammy and a bit more composed, but still has the sun-soaked, slow-living, California vibe all over it. As it says in the liner notes, "Blessed are the trip takers." CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $28/door. 423.8209.

FRIDAY 5/23

ALBOROSIE Alborosie may have been born in Italy, but he in his soul, he was born Rasta. He even left Italy in 2001—already a popular reggae artist in Europe—and moved to Jamaica. The locals teased him, and named him “Borosie,” slang for jerk. He was so determined to gain respect as a reggae artist that he wore the slight, renaming himself Alborosie (His birth name, Al, plus Borosie). Now he’s worked with No Doubt, Jewel, Wyclef Jean and Ky-Mani Marley. He bounces classic ’80s dance hall slow jams, and spins a lot of pigeon-filled ragamuffin raps. He has dreads down to his knees, and he continues to call Jamaica his home. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423.1336.

BIG SANDY & HIS FLY-RITE BOYS Big Sandy is a dream come true for old-school country music record fanatics. The SoCal native started his band in the late ‘80s, playing run-of-the-mill rockabilly tunes, but eventually moved into writing songs inspired by more obscure country

ANA POPOVIC

BE OUR GUEST T-PAIN Rapper turned singer T-Pain has a handful of albums to his name, and has lent his talents to dozens of recordings, including Grammy-winning singles with Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. But perhaps his biggest contribution to pop culture was popularizing auto-tune by using it on a ton of chart-topping tracks. A multi-faceted artist who also acts and produces, T-Pain recently cut off his trademark dreadlocks, dropped a new album, Stoicville: The Phoenix, and has made several comments about reinventing himself. Time will tell what he has in store. CAT JOHNSON

It's not every day that you hear the phrase "Serbian blues." In fact, have you ever heard it any day? But the Belgrade-born artist Ana Popovic is the real deal of the genre, playing blues that draws from her native Serbia, but is steeped in the vast catalog of American blues—and she has a voice to match. Now living in Memphis, where her already award-winning chops will presumably be ratcheted up a few notches, Popovic is an exciting and unexpected voice on the contemporary blues scene. On Sunday, she kicks off the Santa Cruz Blues Festival, and that night she headlines the festival's official after-party. CJ

SATURDAY 5/24

THE SCARRING PARTY Listening to the Scarring Party is like getting stuck in a fantastic time warp that doesn’t quite know where to wind up. Their 2011 EP, Woke Up with Fangs, for instance, features tracks which share qualities of warm ’70s-era folk rock (“Ten Thousand Steps”) and classic New Orleans Jazz with a macabre streak (“Ballad of Amber Moragne”), while the title track sounds like a ‘20s-era, rootsy

TUESDAY 5/27

CHUCK MEAD & HIS GRASSY KNOLL BOYS Country music got huge in the ‘90s, like mainstream-pop huge. So when Check Mead’s group BR5-49 emerged in the early part of the decade with overalls and an old-timey string-plucking sound, it seemed a bit like a novelty act taken right out of Hee-Haw (Actually their name is a reference to a recurring Hee-Haw skit). Years later, people developed an appreciation for old Americana and string music, and the seriousness of their music was more apparent. When BR5-49 dissolved, Mead started up the Grassy Knoll Boys, who, similar to BR5-49, pluck and strum some gorgeous classic country-esque tunes. Even the quirky, goofball humor, which both groups have a bit of, is quite authentic to those old Americana bands. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479.1854.

music from the ’40s and ’50s, namely California Country and Country Boogie, which was a blip on the country music lineage. It was fun, raw, upbeat and electric guitar-driven. It had a sunny California pop sound, mixed with a rockabilly shuffle and elements of doo-wop and R&B. Sandy plays it authentic, and will give nostalgic shivers to anyone who ever fell in love with this early rock-’n’-rollera country sound. AC

FILM

LOOKING THROUGH HISTORY Gugu Mbatha-Raw, left, and Sarah Gadon in ‘Belle.’

Freedom Rings MAY 21-27, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Mixed-race gentlewoman inspires anti-slavery politics in 'Belle' | BY LISA JENSEN

he history of slavery in the Americas did not begin and end with the American South. For centuries, the economy of the lucrative Caribbean sugar islands colonized by European powers depended on imported African slaves. Yet slavery was abolished in the British islands 30 years before the American Civil War—in the courts, not on the battlefield. One possible reason for that is explored in Belle, an engaging, handsomely mounted drawing room drama about a real-life young woman of color who may have had an impact on the legal campaign to end slavery in England. Belle is the love child of two determined Anglo-African women filmmakers, scriptwriter Misan Sagay and director Amma Asante,

who labored for seven years to bring the story to the screen. Their subject is Dido Elizabeth Belle, daughter of an English sea captain and a slave. Liaisons between white men and slave women were not at all uncommon in the islands, producing generations of mixed-race children. But young Dido's fate was not common: her father had her raised in gentility by his aristocratic uncle, Lord Mansfield— the Lord Chief Justice of England. The film begins in 1769 with the child, Dido, arriving in England, and met dockside by the father she has never seen, Captain Sir John Lindsay. Matthew Goode brings his usual panache and conviction to his few brief minutes of screen time as Lindsay. Charmed by the shy young girl, yet obliged to soon depart again for his ship, he tells

her, "Know that you are loved, just as I loved your mother." Less enthused are the uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady Mansfield (Tom Wilkerson and Emily Watson), to whom the young captain delivers his daughter, with instructions to raise her as one of their own blood in his absence. They have no problem with Dido herself, who grows into a lovely young woman (played with grace and spirit by the beauteous Gugu Mbatha-Raw); they love her as devotedly as they do the other great-niece they are raising—fair, blonde Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon), who becomes Dido's best friend. (The cousins' real-life friendship is well documented in a lively 1779 portrait of the two young women together, the painting of which Asante features in several scenes.)

But there is only so much convention the Mansfields are willing to flout. Given every advantage of money and breeding, Dido is still not allowed to dine with the family when they have guests—mostly because she is "illegitimate." She cannot be formally introduced into society, like Elizabeth. And matchmaking for both girls' futures is problematic. Elizabeth has been left penniless by her father, but while Dido inherits a fortune, her prospects depend on finding a suitor willing to "overlook" the circumstances of her birth, yet who is still her equal in class. The great Miranda Richardson is on board as a scheming dowager who comes sniffing about with her two eligible sons (Tom Felton and James Norton). Also involved is young Davinier (Sam Reid), a clergyman's son with legal aspirations who awakens Dido to the abolitionists' cause. What keeps the tale from becoming too fluffy is the juxtaposition of Dido's coming-of-age story with the celebrated legal case of the slave ship Zong, accused of fraud for jettisoning its cargo—human lives—to collect the insurance. Lord Mansfield rules on the case, and the film suggests that his guardianship of Dido, along with the radical politics of Davinier and his anti-slavery activists, leads him to this important legal step on the road to abolition. Historically, while Mansfield heard the Zong case, it was his ruling on an earlier slave case that is now thought to have paved the way for the end of slavery in England and (much later) her colonies. The film's romantic subplots are also fabricated, and while Davinier appears in Dido's reallife biography, there's no evidence he was an abolitionist firebrand. Yet despite (or more likely because of) these fabrications, Belle succeeds as an effective portrait of a singular young woman understanding her own identity, and of a political era in which men of principle still dared to confront the moral issues of the day. BELLE *** (out of four) With Gugu MbathaRaw, Tom Wilkerson, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson, Sarah Gadon, Tom Felton, and Sam Reid. Written by Misan Sagay. Directed by Amma Asante. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated PG. 105 minutes.

FILM

AT WAR WITH THE GREEKS Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen battle a fraternity in ‘Neighbors.’

Frat Packed MAY 21-27, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

How can ‘Neighbors’ be Seth Rogan’s best movie?

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

trange how Neighbors is Seth Rogan’s most allkiller, no-filler film. It’s so muscular it seems like a breakthrough. The bear-like icon of the Apatow-era comedy is funny— when he’s on a roll and grousing he reminds you of Albert Brooks at his best. But Rogan works in films that always seem spun out of improv and then cut back to size—it’s a form of comedy that is to comedy what slash and burn is to agriculture; it depletes the audience and the performer alike. Neighbors is directed by Nicholas Stoller of Forgetting Sarah

Marshall, which exemplified the first swollen, then carved-down style. Neighbors is by contrast, brutally cut, with reality TV show editing— deliberately idiotic novelty wipes, such as a star wipe and a clock wipe, propel the story. But the cutting doesn’t go against the grain. This comedy has a careening style, with day-glo debauchery out of Gaspar Noe and Harmony Korine (if influence is a demonstration of greatness, maybe Spring Breakers was that big a deal). The plot is as simple as a classic Warner Brothers cartoon or a 1920s

two-reeler: Mac (Rogan) and Kelly (Rose Byrne), a couple with a sixmonth-old baby, are living happily in their suburban house when they suddenly get Delta Psi’s frat house as a neighbor. The twist is that the couple is all for it—life as shut-in parents was getting on their nerves. (“Why don’t you leave it at the fire station?” suggests a pal who invites them to a concert without their baby.) Zac Efron, demonstrating alarming American Psycho inflections, is the frat president, Teddy—he has his own concerns about the mark he

will leave on fraternity history. Efron gets to show off his physical perfection and action-figure sixpack. The couple and the frat party together till sun up and brotherly love and handshakes are exchanged … until that night’s wall-shaking party; the Delta Psis refuse to answer the phone, the cops get called, the gloves are off. The dubious battle begins and the baby gets sidelined, for genuinely sweet reaction shots—these include a leer recalling the brat in Von Trier’s Antichrist as it scopes its parents in mid-primal scene. You do have to appreciate the first movie in 10 years with a baby in it that doesn’t have a diaper joke. Rose Byrne is Neighbors’ biggest surprise. Byrne is in her 30s now, terribly beautiful, woefully beautiful, lean and dark and with sad, Celtic eyebrows. For years directors worked that sense of tragedy, even in Hollywoodized classical tragedy: she played captive Briseis in Troy. Someone realized that all the best comedians have tragic faces and Byrne finally started doing work I felt like talking about, as in Bridesmaids and I Give It A Year. There’s no sense of a movie star bravely slumming through a dick-joke-laden comedy: she’s avid for this, and lights up with the eagerness to fight the frat-rats. Kelly is the first one in the attack when a pediatrician does something comically horrible to shame this shame-free couple. Stoller puts the comedy where a general would, in the front, instead of making this another family feud, a boring sitcom paradigm of the put-upon man and his naggy wife. Kelly is full of vicious mischief, engineering a smooth plan to destroy the frat from within by putting “hos before bros.” Animal House is considered a classic for a dozen or so routines, but there’s more vigor and force here—Neighbors may be the ultimate frat-house comedy. NEIGHBORS With Seth Rogan, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Dave Franco. Written by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien. Directed by Nicholas Stoller. Rated R. 96 minutes.

Longtime Sandler director Frank Coraci takes the helm. (PG-13) 117 minutes. Starts Friday. CHEF Jon Favreau wrote and directed this dramadey in which he stars as a top chef in Los Angeles who quits his job at a fancy restaurant over creative differences with the owner (Dustin Hoffman), and decides to go on the road with a food truck, his ex (Soﬁa Vergara), his buddy (John Leguizamo) and his son. (R) 115 minutes. Starts Friday.

MAY 21-27, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE IMMIGRANT Marion Cotard stars in this period drama as a young Polish woman who sails to America in search of a better life.

James Gray directs. (R) 120 minutes. Starts Friday.

NOW PLAYING THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Andrew Garﬁeld returns for another outing as Peter Parker, college student-turned-web-slinging crime ﬁghter, in this second installment of the rebooted franchise. Jamie Foxx is on board as powerful villain, Electro, with shady ties to OsCorp, the monolithic empire founded by the father of Peter’s best friend, Harry Osborne (Dane DeHaan). Emma Stone is back as love interest Gwen, and Sally Field returns as Aunt May for returning director Marc Webb. (PG-13) 140 minutes. BELLE Reviewed this issue. (PG) 105 minutes. (+++)—Lisa Jensen. DIVERGENT It’s back to the dystopian future in this adaptation of the bestselling Veronica Roth YA trilogy. Shailene Woodley stars as Tris Prior, a young woman categorized as Divergent— unaligned with any group—in a society that maintains control

FINDING VIVIAN MAIER In 2007, John Maloof, a real estate agent in the Chicago area, bought some miscellaneous boxes at an estate auction—and stumbled into one of the greatest discoveries in 20th Century photography: the previously unknown, but amazingly prolific work of amateur street photographer Vivian Maier. In this fascinating doc, Maloof exposes her work to the light of day at last, along with the mystery shrouding the artist herself. The portrait of that emerges of Maier (who made her living as a nanny/housekeeper) is compelling in its oddity. That so much of her work was never even developed (much less exhibited) suggests it was the process, not the outcome, that was important to her. And isn’t that what art is all about? (Not rated.) 83 minutes. b+++1/2)—Lisa Jensen. THE GALAPAGOS AFFAIR: SATAN CAME TO EDEN The yearning to leave the vice and folly of the material world behind and carve out a new life in some unspoiled place, is at the heart of this fascinating real-life mystery about strife and skullduggery in a so-called tropical paradise of the 1930s. Directed by Bay Area filmmakers Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine, this stranger-than-fiction documentary isn’t a story about a looming villain invading an idyllic realm; it’s about a handful of cranky misanthropes and the accumulation of little frictions between them that leads to trouble

in Paradise. Most of the principals kept detailed diaries, and copious home movie footage keeps things percolating along in this exotic thriller of a doc. Not rated. 120 minutes. (+++) —Lisa Jensen. GODZILLA To mark the 60th anniversary of the first time the big guy in the rubber suit tottered across the Tokyo landscape, Godzilla rises again in this ecoconscious reboot from Gareth Edwards (Monsters). Trying to stay true to the Toho original (but with more sophisticated effects), Edwards promises a monster spawned in the muck of a polluted planet and thirsting for revenge. Bryan Cranston, Aaron TaylorJohnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Juliette Binoce and David Strathairn head the human cast. (PG-13) 123 minutes THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL There’s plenty of fun and whimsy to be had here in Wed Anderson’s delightful new comedy. Much like Moonrise Kingdom unraveled in a quirky splendor, so, too, does The Grand Budapest Hotel, which chronicles the unlikely friendship between a revered European hotel concierge, Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes) and his lobby boy. Everything from the era—between two menacing wars—to the fictional setting of the Republic of Zubrowka pepper the tale, which unfolds, layer by layer (a story within a story within a story) much like a Russian doll. Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe and other Anderson grads join the fun. R) 100 minutes. (+++1/2)—Greg Archer. HEAVEN IS FOR REAL Just in time for Easter comes this screen adaptation of the non-fiction book by Todd Burpo about his 4-yearold son who survived a near-death experience and came back full of detailed stories about the other side. Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, and newcomer Connor Corum star for director Randall Wallace. (PG) 100 minutes.

FARM EQUALS TABLE Everett Family Farms will host a series of dinners on the grounds beginning June 1.

The Soquel Supper Club Everett Farms kicks off series of dinners and tours

easonal pop-up dining— how very Santa Cruz. We always seem to be at the tip of the wave when it comes to fresh, organic and seasonal. Same with the "food culture" concept of bringing the chef, the fields and the diners together at a single table. And that's the whole idea behind the Soquel Supper Club series, held on Sunday evenings at Everett Family Farms in Soquel. First comes a farm tour, at 5:30 p.m., led by Rich Everett of Everett Family Farms. For those of us who didn't grow up on a farm,

this is one of the best parts of the event, since participants can check out exactly how a farm operates, and how the organic ingredients for dinner are grown and harvested. The multi-course dinner starts at 6 p.m., made from fresh local ingredients by chef Roland Konicke of Uncie Ro’s, prepared in a wood-fired oven. Wine pairings from Odonata Winery complete the scenic picture. Yes, you do need reservations, since seating is limited. The first dinner is June 1, and the series continues with meals on Aug. 10, Sept. 21 and Oct. 19. Location: Everett Family Farm, 2111

Soquel San Jose Rd., Soquel. Tickets are $75 for dinner, $100 for dinner with Odonata wine pairings.

POP-UP DINNER PARTY Do you really need an excuse to dance, watch vintage films and eat a sensuous Italian meal cooked up by India "Guiseppe" Schultz? Folkloric charmers Paul Rangell and Emily Abbink, along with lots of their musical friends, will be at 418 Front St. on Sunday, June 1, at 5 p.m., to launch their new CD, Noche Azul. While vintage black-and-white movies from Italy and old Mexico

Spoke to entrepreneur Chad Glassley a few days ago, and he confirmed that by the end of the month (any minute now), you'll be able to enjoy some bona fide Cajun cuisine at the new Roux Dat Cajun Creole in Capitola's Brown Ranch Marketplace complex near Trader Joe's. Along with his wife, Aurelia, Glassley—a 20-year veteran of the restaurant industry—will be rolling out some serious Cajun Creole dishes. I'm down with the bon temps idea of red beans and sausage, chicken creole and gumbo. The menu will rotate daily, and includes two vegan stews, jambalayas and a hot sauce bar. "My wife is from Santa Cruz," he explained. "And we thought, why not open a restaurant in this beautiful place?" Low prices, fresh spicy food. My mouth is watering. PRODUCT OF THE WEEK Kelly's Kumquat Marmalade. Glistening rings of copper tartness suspended in a bronze jelly, the kumquat and its fresh, earthy flavor is given its full due in the marmalade I bought last week at Kelly's French Bakery on Ingalls Street. Especially brilliant atop a slice of the walnut sourdough from Companion Bakers, with that addictive English countryside butter I've been getting at Shoppers. Part of my personal quest to live every day to the max. $10 for 9 oz.

If you have not visited the tasting room of Bernardus Winery in Carmel Valley, then you are in for a treat. The wines are good, the staff knowledgeable and friendly and there’s an outdoor patio where you can relax and enjoy the experience. It’s good to know in advance that Bernardus now charges $12 per person for a tasting, which is refundable if you spend $75. On my last visit there, I enjoyed a Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Monterey County ($18). It’s a composition of 67 percent Griva Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, 26 percent San Saba Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, and 7 percent Griva Vineyard Semillon – the latter golden-skinned grape adding a little touch of sweetness. Vibrant aromas of ripe peach, tropical fruits and grapefruit add to the lovely rich flavors of lime, grapefruit and gooseberry. It’s a wonderful wine to open up on a warm summer’s evening, so you have plenty of time to head to Carmel and try some. Winery owner Benardus (Ben) Pon appreciates wine as an art. It is his goal “to create wines from the promising viticulture of Carmel Valley that will rival in style and quality the finest traditional wines.” Ben Pon (a Dutchman) is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a visionary, having created a winery and lodge unparalleled in the Monterey Bay. Interestingly, he is also an accomplished sportsman. He competed in the 1972 Olympics in skeet shooting, and was a race car driver for Porsche. Together with winemaker Dean De Korth, Pon is creating some truly fabulous red and

white wines at Bernardus Winery. As the phrase on a bottle of red says, “Taste A Dream.” Bernardus Winery, 5 West Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, 298.8021. Toll free: 800.223.2533. The tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a $12 tasting fee, which is refundable with a purchase of $75 or more.

SUNRIDGE FARMS COCO MANGO POMEGRANATE CHEWS I discovered these little heavenly bites at Aptos Natural Foods recently—they’re a new addition to the wide range of produce made by local company SunRidge Farms. I looked them up online, and the good news is that they’re low in sodium, a good source of manganese, magnesium and copper, zero trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, no preservatives, nothing artificial, minimally refined sweeteners and they’re organic. They’re sold loose at AJ’s Market, Aptos Natural Foods, Deluxe Foods, and the Food Bin. You’ll see what I mean when you bite into one.

CHAMINADE FARM-TOTABLE DINNERS Chaminade’s splendid farmto-table dinners are held on the resort’s beautiful outdoor terrace—a gourmet delight pairing local farm produce with local wines. The first one is coming up on Friday, June 6 featuring Black Hen Farms, and tickets are $80 plus tax and gratuity. The dinner price includes a fivecourse dinner and farm goody bag.

A BUNCH OF REASONS TO SHOP Nesh Dhillon runs five farmers markets in

Santa Cruz County.

Santa Cruz County Farmers Markets BY JACOB PIERCE

MAY 21-27, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

ith the Felton and Scotts Valley farmers markets both happening every week into the fall, the summer fruit season is officially in swing. We thought itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a good time to checkin with Santa Cruz Community Farmers Markets Director Nesh Dhillon, who oversees those two markets, and three others in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;downtown, Live Oak and on the Westside.

GT: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite fruit?

NESH DHILLON: A sweet fruitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I would say a Blenheim apricot. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming right around the corner. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something very magical about that apricot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very specific to this region, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a very fragile fruit. It depends on the weather. It depends on how the spring lines up, how the trees go through the maturation process. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to fruit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real sensitive period. The crop can get ruinedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cherries and apricots. Cherries are even more sensitive, because if they get late rains on cherries, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll blow up and crack.

Do you only eat whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in season? I feel really weird eating something in the off-season. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any excuse. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eating something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in season, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be eating this right now. This is ridiculous.â&#x20AC;? But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be rude at the table! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that dogmatic about it.

What do you put in your salad? Our salads are simple. My wife really does all the cooking. I like to put sprouts from New Native Farms. You can embellish a salad: buckwheat, arugula sprouts, microgreens, pea shoots. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what a salad can become with just a little bit of shoots and sprouts, light dressing. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really doctor up salads too much, because the lettuces around here are so good, so flavorful. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a delicate flavor, so you have to be careful about what you team it up with. Having a little radicchio within a medley of greens, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all you need. A little cheese is nice, too. www.santacruzfarmersmarket.org, 454.0566.

ASTROLOGY

LET INSTABILITY DO ITS WORK

+ + + RISA’S

STARS

Venus is rising before dawn In the morning sky. The evening sky has Mercury, Jupiter and Mars moving about. Thursday, Pisces moon—things can be delicate, illusory, confusing, illogical (not to a Pisces) and dreamy. Everything is veiled, cloaked and indirect. Friday is different. Aries moon begins Friday morning, continuing through early Sunday morning. Things become sharp, red, focused, a trajectory of thoughts and action wanting to move forward unrelentingly. We can’t. We feel impatient, life seems urgent. Saturday is a “trigger point” day, as the moon touches the Cardinal Cross planets – Mars, Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter. And touches Saturn, too, as Jupiter trines (harmony) Saturn. An intense, complex day, with crisis, expansion, contraction, harmony and discipline. Plans may go awry. Sunday is quieter, with no action ’til late afternoon, when moon enters comforting and safe Taurus. Monday’s Memorial Day—previously Decoration

Day, originating in the American Civil War—is a national holiday honoring those who have died in service to our country, upholding humanity’s freedoms. We remember, and our gratitude extends to all countries, and all of BY RISA D’ANGELES humanity. Wednesday is a new moon (7 degrees Gemini), the last before summer. Its keynote – “let instability do its work”—expresses the unpredictable changes, constant vicissitudes, lack of stability, structure, cohesion and unity among humanity and nations (a certain developmental stage). Instability has purpose, creating awareness that harmony is needed. Understanding Gemini’s personality-building keynote is important when encountering instability, conflict and chaos in our lives and the lives of others. Understanding the keynote allows us to have compassion and understanding when instability, conflict and chaos are experienced.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You will ponder upon what it means to be professional, successful, responsible, able to care for self and others. You will be proud of your realizations. Or else you will choose that from this time onward you will succeed, enter into a state of professionalism and climb whatever ladder is presented, no matter how high. Or you will know you’re in service to the new culture and civilization, and serve even more.

You’ve been and will continue taking time away from distractions and stressful things in order to review your life, its possibilities, what you like and don’t like, need and don’t need, and an event and decision you haven’t been able to confront for many years now. In this semireflective retreat which you need, you realize what must be done. Apply kind gentleness to everything.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week May 22 – May 28, 2014

TAURUS Apr21–May21 It’s important to go beyond what you now know and what you’ve been schooled in. It’s important that your area of knowledge expands, your cultural interests increase and your interactions with that which is unknown multiply. Your life could become one long furrow, where only one plant is being sowed. You would be impatient with that. You are the garden and the gardener. Study aquaponics. What is the most ancient fish?

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Are there emotions, thoughts, feeling keeping you from parts of life you need to pursue? I think perhaps, yes, this is true. Your life is reviewing itself, asking what are you capable of, what truths have you been unable to face, and what progress you can soon engage in. You will encounter the deepest of feelings in the coming year. Stand always under the light of the Soul, which for you is Venus.

You will seek more intimacy with others, even though at times you turn away, seeking solitude instead. However, this intimacy will occur in good ways, and you will help make it happen. You’ll also take steps to make right decisions concerning your needs. As a result, a state of balance will emerge where you see all sides of all things that matter. Then all judgments drop forever.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Some time soon, you’ll shift into a strict health regime that actually feels good, as it will enhance your physical, etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. You’ll find you can be strict with right exercise, foods and diet. You’ll be detailed, discriminating and dispassionate when making decisions. You’ll actually reflect a high level of Virgo’s purity.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 And you will reflect the energies of Leo, as Leo becomes Virgo. An interesting paradox. You will feel confidence like never before, and all self-doubt fades away. You’ll feel like you have a dancer’s grace, a yogi’s flexibility, the creativity of a Leo, Cancer’s nurturing qualities, and Libra’s Right Human Relations. This is a synthesis of many signs seeking to bring inner equanimity to all of you.

Although you think and feel you can do anything and everything at a moment’s notice, it’s best if you don’t. Yes, you will feel like a spirited wind blowing everywhere, but if you’re not careful, your dreams will dissolve, and you’ll remain bereft. Even if a wound is felt, even if all seems lost, keep walking. The new path appears soon.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You’re assessing all places and environments, asking are they right and pleasing enough. You’re asking, “how do I value myself? Do I? If so, what do I value?” Being of value is quite different than being creative, or having self-confidence, or being hugely successful. For the next months, ponder what you value about yourself, and how you came to that awareness. This is a real astrological homework assignment.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’re ready to go up, up and away. You’re prepared to conquer the world, and you have the energy, courage and impulsiveness to try. Once you begin this journey, know that the results may not be instant. If there are detours, ask for help, then fall back on your ambitious energy. You have gone back to a previous adventure and reacquainted yourself with it. Wear good shoes.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You have this time to be the successful creative artist (writer, painter, dancer, photographer, actor, publisher, etc.) you know you are. It’s time to expand into a greater artistic field. Inner aspiration and revelations, which propel us toward newer pursuits, will be available. As the doors open to intuition, the strength of body and mind to bring them forth emerges. It’s a revelatory time for you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It is important to know you have your own guidance and ways of being. Who and what kingdom is in need of care around you? You are the perfect one to tend to them. Should death (the Great Liberating Adventure) occur around you, be sure to have the Great Bell Chant, sandalwood incense, orange lights and the “Tibetan Book of Living and Dying” by Sogyal Rinpoche. Study also Sir Edwin Arnold’s “Light of Asia.”
