ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of January 21 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Do you have an entourage or posse that helps you work magic you can't conjure up alone? Is there a group of coconspirators that prods you to be brave and farseeing? If not, try to whip one up. And if you do have an inspirational crew, brainstorm about some new adventures for all of you to embark on. Scheme and dream about the smart risks and educational thrills you could attempt together. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you especially need the sparkle and rumble that a feisty band of allies can incite.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The cosmos seems to be granting you a license to be brazenly ambitious. I'm not sure how long this boost will last, so I suggest you capitalize on it while it's surging. What achievement have you always felt insufﬁciently prepared or powerful to accomplish? What person or club or game have you considered to be out of your league? What issue have you feared was beyond your understanding? Rethink your assumptions. At least one of those "impossibilities" may be more possible than usual.

GEMINI May21–June20 When I attended the University of California at Santa Cruz, my smartest friend was Gemini writer Clare Cavanagh. She headed off to Harvard for her graduate studies, and later became a pre-eminent translator of Polish poetry. Her work has been so skillful that Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet Czselaw Milosz selected her as his authorized biographer. Interviewing Milosz was a tough job, Clare told blogger Cynthia Haven. He was demanding. He insisted that she come up with "questions no one's asked me yet." And she did just that, of course. Formulating evocative questions is a Gemini specialty. I invite you to exercise that talent to the hilt in the coming week. It's prime time for you to celebrate a Curiosity Festival.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 "Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you," writes poet John Ashbery, "at incredible speed, traveling day and night, through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through narrow passes. But will he know where to ﬁnd you, recognize you when he sees you, give you the thing he has for you?" This passage might not be literally true, Cancerian. There may be no special person who is headed your way from a great distance, driven by a rapt intention to offer you a blessing. But I think Ashbery's scenario is accurate in a metaphorical way. Life is in fact working overtime to bring you gifts and help. Make sure you cooperate! Heighten your receptivity. Have a nice long talk with yourself, explaining why you deserve such beneﬁcence.

In 1768, Britain's Royal Society commissioned navigator James Cook to lead a long naval voyage west to Tahiti, where he and his team were supposed to study the planet Venus as it made a rare transit across the face of the sun. But it turned out that task was a prelude. Once the transit was done, Cook opened the sealed orders he had been given before leaving England. They revealed a second, bigger assignment, kept secret until then: to reconnoiter the rumored continent that lay west of Tahiti. In the coming months, he became the ﬁrst European to visit the east coast of Australia. I foresee a comparable progression for you, Leo. The task you've been working on lately has been a prelude. Soon you'll receive your "sealed orders" for the next leg of your journey.

the do-gooders and sweet faces. Just be careful that their naivete doesn't cause problems. And in the meantime, check out what the raw, rowdy folks are up to.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Life has a big, tough assignment for you. Let's hope you're up for the challenge. There's not much wiggle room, I'm afraid. Here it is: You must agree to experience more joy and pleasure. The quest for delight and enchantment has to rise to the top of your priority list. To be mildly entertained isn't enough. To be satisfied with lukewarm arousal is forbidden. It's your sacred duty to overflow with sweet fulfillment and interesting bliss. Find ways to make it happen!

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You may have never sampled the southeast Asian fruit called durian. It's controversial. Some people regard it as the "king of fruits," and describe its taste as sweet and delicious. Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace said it was like "a rich custard highly ﬂavored with almonds." But other people ﬁnd the durian unlikable, comparing its aroma to turpentine or decaying onions. TV chef Anthony Bourdain asserts that its "indescribable" taste is "something you will either love or despise." I foresee the possibility that your imminent future will have metaphorical resemblances to the durian, Scorpio. My advice? Don't take things personally.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Talking will be your art form in the coming week. It'll be healing and catalytic. You could set personal records for most engaging phone conversations, emails, text messages, and face-to-face dialogs. The sheer intensity of your self-expression could intimidate some people, excite others, and generate shifts in your social life. Here are a few tips to ensure the best results. First, listen as passionately as you speak. Second, make it your intention to communicate, not just unload your thoughts. Tailor your messages for your speciﬁc audience. Third, reﬂect on the sometimes surprising revelations that emerge from you. They'll give you new insights into yourself.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Let's say you want to buy an 18-karat gold ring. To get that much gold, miners had to excavate and move six tons of rock. Then they doused the rock with poisonous cyanide, a chemical that's necessary to extract the good stuff. In the process, they created toxic waste. Is the gold ring worth that much trouble? While you ponder that, let me ask you a different question. What if I told you that over the course of the next ﬁve months, you could do what's necessary to obtain a metaphorical version of a gold ring? And although you would have to process the equivalent of six tons of raw material to get it, you wouldn't have to use poison or make a mess. Would you do it?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1899, the king of the African nation of Swaziland died while dancing. His only son, Sobhuza, was soon crowned as his successor, despite being just four months old. It took a while for the new king to carry out his duties with aplomb, and he needed major guidance from his grandmother and uncle. Eventually he showed great aptitude for the job, though, and ruled until his death at age 83. I'm getting a Sobhuza-type vibe as I meditate on you, Aquarius. New power may come to you before you're fully ready to wield it. But I have conﬁdence you will grow into it, especially if you're not shy about seeking help.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

According to computer security company Symantec, you're not in major danger of contracting an online virus from a porn website. The risk is much greater when you visit religious websites. Why? They're often built by inexperienced programmers, and as a result are more susceptible to hackers' attacks. In the coming weeks, Virgo, there may be a similar principle at work in your life. I suspect you're more likely to be undermined by nice, polite people than raw, rowdy folks. I'm not advising you to avoid

In the 1951 animated movie version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice says to herself, "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." I hope you won't be like her, Pisces. It's an excellent time for you to heed your own good advice. In fact, I suspect that doing so will be crucial to your ability to make smart decisions and solve a knotty problem. This is one of those turning points when you really have to practice what you preach. You've got to walk your talk.

for forgiveness, and spent the rest of his life working for integration. In the late 1970s, he announced that he was “born again,” and realized the error of his ways. In venues large and small, from MLK Jr.’s first congregation at Dexter Baptist Church in Montgomery to global Larry King Live, he apologized for the suffering that he had caused. His own paralysis after an assassination attempt during a presidential bid in the early 1970s sensitized him to suffering. I bring all of this up to say that legal victories are great, but they are a mere stepping stone to the real goal of changing

how we relate to each other in society. The real victory is when we embrace each other as equal and create the beloved community. The right to vote was a major accomplishment, indeed. However, I think part of the lasting legacy of the marches from Selma is the repentance of Gov. Wallace and the reconciliation with the Black community. King’s real message was about love and forgiveness. Yes, we can all fight for our rights, but can we love our oppressors back to wholeness? REV. DEBORAH L. JOHNSON INNERLIGHT MINISTRIES | SANTA CRUZ

NEWS SET CHANGE New show comes to town as Blues Festival says goodbye BY CAT JOHNSON

LAYING IT DOWN Artist Kathleen Crocetti pieces together tesserae for a mosaic that will highlight the San Lorenzo River’s place in Santa Cruz. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Ripple Effect

Organizations join forces to bring public art to the Tannery and San Lorenzo River BY ARIC SLEEPER

n a sunny Sunday afternoon inside the art room of Mission Hill Middle School, children in safety gear pulverize small ceramic tiles with hammers, looking around as if they’re surprised to get away with it. Adults at the surrounding tables meticulously place the tiny tesserae, or mosaic pieces, onto sheets of sticky translucent plastic. Colorful pictures of what will be three separate mosaics are fastened on the art room’s walls. Among the sounds of smashing ceramic and the laughter of

volunteers, Mission Hill Middle School art teacher Kathleen Crocetti gives guidance and praise. This is one of many community builds Crocetti and others have organized as part of the Ebb and Flow River Arts Project, an initiative which she and an amalgam of local artists and organizations hope will transform the way that people view and interact with the Tannery Arts Center and the San Lorenzo River. “The river is a potential economic driver for our town, and we’ve turned our backs on it, and let it go to waste,” says Crocetti. “I love that there’s this

big confluence of people that are really interested in enlivening the river and making it more accessible and desirable for everybody.” The Ebb and Flow Project consists of three elements geared toward bringing the community together through art: the Ebb and Flow sculpture, which will serve as a welcoming structure on the Tannery Arts Center Campus, the Santa Cruz River Artwalk, a series of 10 temporary art pieces along the San Lorenzo River, and the Kinetic Sculpture Parade and River Arts Celebration, which takes place on June 6. >12

Bill Welch has co-produced the Santa Cruz Blues Festival for 22 years. In that time, the annual Memorial Day weekend event brought us Ray Charles, Buddy Guy, Etta James, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and dozens of other top-tier artists. As of this year, however, the Blues Festival is no more. Although a new and similar music festival will take its place this spring, the 2014 Blues Fest was the final one, which may come as a surprise to local music lovers and festival regulars. “It’s time for me to move on,” says Welch, who is looking to focus more of his energy on his other projects, including Moe’s Alley, the club he co-founded in 1992. The club, his primary focus, recently installed a new state-of-the-art sound system and has a new lighting system in the works. By stepping away from the Blues Festival, Welch will be able to devote more of his time to producing concerts at Moe’s Alley, but that doesn’t make his decision to end the festival any easier. “It’s a very hard decision to make,” he says. “It’s been 22 years of blood, sweat and tears. Lots of ups and downs and great moments. But the festival takes a lot of attention, time and preparation to do.” Festival-goers need not fret, however, as some of the principals of the Santa Cruz Blues Festival joined forces to create a new Memorial Day weekend event called the American Music Festival, which will present blues and also host a wider range of artists and genres, without straying too much from tradition. All four acts who have been announced so far, including Bonnie Raitt and Los Lonely Boys, have played the Santa Cruz Blues Festival in the past. The Blues Festival has long incorporated a variety of styles into its roster, including artists and bands that could best be described as Americana, rock, and soul. Last year’s lineup featured rocker Gregg Allman, crooner Chris Isaak, New Orleans jazz sensation Trombone Shorty, and singer-songwriter Jackie Greene. The American Music Festival plans to build on this base of numerous American styles to expand the reach of the festival even further. Phillip Lewis, who co-founded the >16

RIPPLE EFFECT <11 When the California Arts Council (CAC) announced that it would distribute more than $1 million in grants through its Creative California Communities program, the Art Council’s Michelle Williams gathered a brain trust of community

leaders from city government, the Tannery Arts Center, and the Coastal Watershed Council, among others, to develop a project that met the program’s goals. The CAC awarded $50,000 for the project, and the city of Santa Cruz Economic Development Department

gave an additional $25,000. After a series of community meetings to gain public input, the Ebb and Flow was off and running. Crocetti and mixed-media artist Anna Oneglia have taken the reins of the permanent Ebb and Flow sculpture, which will consist >14

NEWS BRIEFS CHANGING ORGANICALLY When Sylvia Prevedelli of Prevedelli Farms began growing apples in Corralitos in 1945, the aim was not so much to grow “organic,” but to farm and produce natural foods like she was accustomed to eating in her native Italy. “I prefer food in the natural way,” Prevedelli says. Over the years, Prevedelli has seen a growing number of Americans come to espouse similar preferences for natural foods, especially in Santa Cruz County, a home to the modern organic food movement. Protecting the soil is a big issue for farmers, but what if the soil can do more than just grow crops? What if it can actually help combat climate change? Many people know that plants and trees play a significant role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But at this year’s EcoFarm Conference, which starts on Wednesday, Jan. 21 in Pacific Grove, attendees will get the scoop on recently published scientific studies that show how biologically healthy soil is also effective in removing and trapping carbon that might otherwise heat up the atmosphere. “The solution to climate change is beneath our feet,” says Ken Dickerson, executive director of the Ecological Farming Association, which puts on the annual event where Prevedelli will speak.

One acre of urban land emits 70 times more greenhouse gasses than an acre of irrigated farmland, and organic farming systems offer some of the best opportunities in agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon, according to the California Climate and Agricultural Network. Researchers have begun to see, over the long term, that common organic farming practices, such as cover cropping and using animal manure and compost, can trap significantly more carbon in the soil than conventional operations. One eight-year study showed that soil-organic carbon increased 19 percent in organic and low external input systems—meaning no pesticides or fertilizers—versus 10 percent in conventional systems. In his most recent State of the State address, Gov. Jerry Brown recognized the importance that California’s more than 80,000 farms and ranches have in mitigating the effects of climate change by calling for agricultural solutions. Consumers may soon be thanking their local organic farmer for more than just a tasty apple—how about saving the planet? EcoFarm is from Jan. 21-24 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove.

FUND ZONE It was a big year for local giving this past holiday season, and Good Times readers were exceptionally generous. In response to this year’s annual “Giving” issue, the five nonprofit organizations we selected to highlight reported an exceptionally successful season—approximately twice what they normally raise during the holiday season collectively. A super-cool GT-reading couple from the San Lorenzo Valley donated a truck to Pajaro Valley Loaves & Fishes (PVLF), and the group raised nearly three times its holiday fundraising goal. Another GT reader gave $5,000 to Mountain Community Resources (MCR), a program of Community Bridges, even though she had already donated to MCR before getting inspired by GT’s cover story. Community Action Board said the campaign was “huge,” in dollars, and more so in the impact of awareness around their work as the premier agency fighting poverty in the county. CAB had lost a major source of funds, and was expecting donations to be down from last year, but instead doubled its holiday fundraising over 2013. Some nonprofits noted effects beyond cash. Grey Bears, for instance, found that nearly half of its donors were new this holiday season. Plus,

91 new volunteers signed up for holiday work. Homeless Services Center also reported many in-kind gifts of clothing, blankets and other items, many new Facebook likes, and the return of 108 donors who had given in previous years but not last year. When it came to selecting five nonprofits to receive funds, the goal was to choose organizations that serve the neediest cases, as well as cover all corners of county—outlying areas often are underserved. After six years of a slow-toresuscitate economy, some of our neighbors who might have been able to get by for a few years on savings, family support, and going without all but basic necessities, find themselves relying on local nonprofits for just that: basic necessities. The Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County was an invaluable partner in helping GT select organizations that are highly effective and would make the most of your investment. (We wouldn’t ask you to participate in anything less.) The Packard Foundation kicked in $30,000, and, really, it’s their mission that directs funds toward the neediest cases. Where would the entire Bay Area be without them? The campaign officially ended on Dec. 26, but don’t let that stop you if you didn’t get around to donating yet. Gifts from GT readers are still trickling in—and needed. Visit SantaCruzGives.com. JEANNE HOWARD

RIPPLE EFFECT <12

of the three nature-inspired mosaics currently under construction at the community builds. The mosaics will include fish, birds, water and trees, and encircle three large concrete planters at the Tannery Arts Center, which sits on the river. The planters will hold 18-foottall metal trees made from recycled farming equipment. The massive metal trees will be adorned with colorful glass medallions depicting images chosen by the public. Ebb and Flow organizers handpicked 10 projects proposed by local artists that will go on temporary display along the river levee for the month of June. Each project differs in medium and scope, but all have one goal in common—drawing the attention of Santa Cruz citizens back to the San Lorenzo River. Looking at the waterway in its current state, it can be difficult to imagine a time when people could be found fishing and swimming in the San Lorenzo River. But Ebb and Flow artists like Geoffrey Nelson will attempt to bring images of the river’s past back to life. Nelson’s project, “Guardians of the River,” will consist of electroluminescent effigies of an Ohlone man and woman, which will keep a month-long watch on the pedestrian bridge near Highway 1. “They’ll glow from the inside, and they’ll change color,” says Nelson. A photographer for more than 30 years, Nelson discovered an interest in sculpting human forms through his work creating light-laden costumes for Burning Man. “I started to play with lights just for outfits for a long time,” says Nelson. “Then a friend of mine wanted to do a lit-up statue, and since then I’ve moved to the statues rather than outfits or costumes. And when you decorate them with light, people are just mesmerized because they’re these glowing human beings.” Nelson has always been drawn to the history of Native Americans, which he studied in college, and while brainstorming for his project, he thought of the Ohlone people who once inhabited the area. Local SPECTRA art teacher Linda Cover’s “Creature Banners”

project will provide a lighthearted educational component to the Ebb and Flow Artwalk. The four double-sided banners will feature eight drawings of local wildlife like raccoons, skunks, and great blue herons drawn by her students. “I think it will soften the image of the levee because it’s children’s art,” says Cover. “It’s extremely sweet, and funny, even—whimsical at the very least. I think it will take the edge off what is seen as a challenging area, and that’s what this is all about.” Cover envisions her students and their families beaming proud smiles when the banners go up for all to see this summer. “It’s not just something on grandma’s refrigerator anymore,” says Cover. “It’s truly taken seriously, and the kids feel like they’re part of the community. I think that will be the most rewarding part: when the kids come and see their work out there, and I think it will also make a huge difference in the way whole groups of people view the river and the watershed.” Beth Ragel, arts program manager with the city of Santa Cruz, has been on board with the Ebb and Flow Project since she was hired by the city over the summer, and has high hopes for the summer project—she’s already planning its sequel. Educating the Santa Cruz public about the environmental aspects of the river is a full-time job for the Coastal Watershed Council’s (CWC) Stewardship Coordinator, Laurie Egan. She and others at the CWC became a part of the Ebb and Flow project from the onset as the Arts Council Santa Cruz County and the CWC are both members of the San Lorenzo River Alliance. “One of the things that the San Lorenzo River Alliance and the Coastal Watershed Council is trying to do is to get people excited about the San Lorenzo River and increase people’s water literacy,” says Egan. “That means getting people to realize that if you live in the city of Santa Cruz, the majority of your drinking water comes from the San Lorenzo. We can hammer that fact home over and over, but another way to do it is to approach it from a different perspective—an arts perspective.”

the American Music Festival this year. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

SET CHANGE <12 Santa Cruz Blues Festival with Welch in 1993, is consulting with American Music Festival organizers in order to develop the concept for this festival, which will aim to continue the great Santa Cruz tradition of Memorial Day weekend festivities at Aptos Village Park. With his experience co-founding both Moe’s Alley and the Blues Festival, Lewis says he is excited to be a part of the Santa Cruz American Music Festival. “There is such a rich and storied history of great music at Aptos Village Park over the last 22 years,” says Lewis. “We’ve seen Gregg Allman perform ‘Whipping Post,’ Ray Charles perform ‘Georgia,’ Al Green perform ‘Love and Happiness,’ and Joe Cocker

perform ‘With a Little Help from My Friends,’ just to name a few.” For hard-core blues lovers, the event will feature a blues-focused Saturday lineup, paying respect to the tradition that serves as the foundation for so many musical styles. “We’re always going to have one foot in the blues,” says Lewis. “And it’s nice because it gives us chances to expose folks to a wider range of music.” Sunday will feature a more eclectic mix of Americana sounds. The idea is to appeal to the blues audience in Santa Cruz and also use the blues as a jumping off point for all the styles that grew out of it. “The beginnings of American music are rooted in the blues, so we will generally

spotlight a heavy dose of that,” says Lewis. “But American music is such a mixture of many genres including jazz, country, bluegrass, New Orleans, R&B. This event gives us the flexibility to present all types of American music.” For this year’s inaugural American Music Festival, organizers are going big, bringing the legendary Raitt, a longtime favorite of Santa Cruz audiences who will perform Saturday, May 23. Also confirmed at this point are roots rockers JJ Grey & Mofro, the Memphis-based Serbian blues guitarist and vocalist Ana Popovic—both of whom will also play Saturday—and American Chicano rock outfit Los Lonely Boys, who will play Sunday. Lewis hopes to get six more acts

for the festival and announce them when each contract is signed. The big-picture vision for the festival, explains Lewis, is to bring together a variety of artists and genres; some that audiences are familiar with and some that may fall outside of their musical radar. “The beauty of American music,” Lewis says, “is that artists are influenced by all genres of music they hear. They ingest those influences, then the music they make may be completely different than anything we have heard before. You may have a performer that has a flavor of folk, jazz, bluegrass and blues. That is the true beauty of music: it’s always evolving, and that is what we want to represent and present to our audience.”

but others just want to do their own planning because it’s something they have thought about most of their life,” says Greathouse. “I help them to polish everything and pull it all together.” In fact, Greathouse planned her own wedding eight years ago, and enjoys the DIY aspect, which is why she named her company A Paper Flower Wedding. “I wanted to attract brides that think outside of the box,” says Greathouse. With her focus on day-of packages, Greathouse is eager to provide advice from her six years of experience to brides and grooms regarding any aspect of their wedding. “I’m happy to share my information, and I’m not so guarded of it,” says Greathouse. When the big day arrives, Greathouse works fervently behind the scenes to make sure the bride and groom’s vision is realized, and all the moving parts work together. “You have to really think on your feet, and that’s what keeps the job interesting,” she says.

hen Sara Greathouse switched from working on weddings to coordinating conferences, she felt that something was missing from her life. “I just really missed the weddings so much,” says Greathouse. “It’s a very joyous day and I love being ingrained in that with a couple and learning everything about their day. That’s really all that I wanted to do, and that inspired me to break away and start my own company.” The revitalized Greathouse opened A Paper Flower Wedding in the winter of 2014 with a unique focus. Unlike a conventional wedding planner who coordinates everything from the caterer to the floral arrangements, Greathouse specializes in “day-of” coordinating, and serves only as an assistant to the couple at their rehearsal and wedding day, so that the bride and groom can relax and enjoy the celebration. “I just enjoy working with couples that have a clear vision, and want to do it on their own. I know some bride and grooms are on a tight budget,

ith decades of experience as professional DJs and MCs, best friends and business partners Adrian Cavlan and Raffi Nalvarian of Sound in Motion Entertainment know all too well that when it comes to the bride and groom’s big day, there’s no room for mistakes. “You can’t go back and do it again tomorrow,” says Nalvarian. “If I goof up on a last name, or mess up during the toast, heads will roll.” To ensure that everything goes smoothly, Cavlan and Nalvarian have developed a formalized training program so that all of their DJs and MCs out in the field provide flawless service. “We’ve been doing that since the very beginning,” says Cavlan. “To us, the highest crime would be telling someone that we could do a good job at their wedding, and then send someone out there with no idea of what to do.” Cavlan and Nalvarian pride themselves on not only bringing a high level of professionalism to every wedding, but also a closeness that often turns into longtime friendships

with their clients. “It’s amazing how many of our clients become friends,” says Cavlan. In addition to bringing an extensive catalogue of celebratory tunes to every wedding, Sound in Motion provides lighting, photo booths, and teleconferencing just in case an important guest is trapped on the other side of the world. “We had a situation where one of the bridesmaids was stuck in the United Kingdom and couldn’t get a visa. She was crushed,” says Cavlan. “We did a teleconference where she was set up in England in her bridesmaid dress, and was able to give a toast in real time.” The Sound in Motion team are longtime favorites at the Cocoanut Grove’s Bridal Expo. They have served as DJs for the event’s fashion show for nearly twenty years, and will do it again this year. “I think this is my favorite bridal show by a good margin,” says Cavlan. “We hope that we walk out of there with some great new business relationships that one day become friendships.”

ith an impressive resume that includes photo credits in Surfing Magazine and on NationalGeographic.com, among others, Matt Kurvin of New Perspective Photography brings an artful eye and unique angle to every wedding that he shoots. “The name New Perspective means getting that new look on what you’re doing—trying something different, getting different angles, and finding something that’s interesting to people, and not just shooting the same old stuff,” says Kurvin. About a decade ago, Kurvin was already deep into landscape and surfing photography, but gained a new perspective on what he could do with his art when a close friend asked him to shoot her wedding. “It turned out great, and I’ve been doing it ever since,” says Kurvin. “It’s such a good scene. Everyone is so happy and elated, and there’s really just a good vibe the whole day.” New Perspective provides engagement shoots, bridal shoots, and full-service wedding photography. With a background in graphic design, Kurvin’s

finished products have an almost dreamlike appearance. “A lot of photographers out there use templates and things like that, and I don’t,” says Kurvin. “Everything I create is from scratch and by hand, so it’s all unique and different in its own way.” With a full-time gig at a local software design firm, Kurvin only takes on a limited number of weddings each year, which gives him the chance to take the time with each project, and not get burned out by the end of wedding season. “I never wanted it to be something that I have to stress out about. I like the fact that I can shoot how many or how few I want to do and that allows me to be relaxed and focused,” says Kurvin. Even after photographing weddings for about ten years, Kurvin still gets his own brand of pre-wedding jitters before a shoot. “To this day, I always get nervous the day of the wedding,” says Kurvin. “In the morning I’m super nervous, and it’s always like that no matter how many weddings I shoot, but once I get to the venue and start working, it all goes away.”

hen most people think of organics and sustainable growing practices, they think of food, but Carra Duggan of Flowers by Carra has made it her life’s work to bring those same environmentally conscious disciplines to the world of flowers. “It’s like when someone buys their tomatoes at the farmer’s market, and they know the farmer,” says Duggan. “That connection is important.” Duggan not only designs all of her floral arrangements, but also grows her own flowers at Everett Family Ranch in Soquel. She invites all of her customers to the farm, so that they can witness their future bouquets when they’re still just seedlings. “They’ll come in the spring time and see these tiny plants, and when their wedding day comes they’re really happy to know where they came from,” says Duggan. Duggan didn’t always know that she wanted to farm and design bouquets, but in the two activities she found an outlet for her creative spirit and a love for growing things.

“It’s wonderful to know that you can put together this life and then create these really beautiful art pieces out of them,” says Duggan. Duggan specializes in growing heirloom varieties of flowers, and favors species with antique colorations like heirloom carnations and nicotianas among a variety of others. She also sources rare hybrids of narcissus and dahlias from local farms. If brides and grooms contact Duggan early enough in the season, they can even request that she grow specific species of flowers for their wedding day bouquets. “They can be a part of the experience in the sense that they can pick and choose the flowers that they want and their arrangements,” says Duggan. 2015 will be the first year for Flowers by Carra at the Cocoanut Grove Bridal Expo, and Duggan is excited to share her love for sustainably grown heirloom flowers with all of the soon-to-bemarried couples. “Weddings have a lot of potential to be wasteful, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” says Duggan.

“We can pretty much do anything and make anything,” says Camarlinghi. “We work with clients to fit their theme and what they want to do.” Camarlinghi, Cuevas-Sanchez, and their staff of about 30 employees are able to bring their customized menus to venues across Santa Cruz County, and the surrounding areas, and do as much cooking on site as they possibly can. But sometimes they run into challenges when the big day arrives. “We’ve definitely been rained on a few times,” says Camarlinghi. Since Camarlinghi took the reins of Barbara and Company nine years ago, she has held a booth at the Cocoanut Grove Bridal Expo. At this year’s event, Camarlinghi looks forward to reconnecting with colleagues and vendors, meeting new people, and the food swap that happens after all the potential clients have left. “I like it at the end when we share food with all of the other vendors,” says Camarlinghi. “We eat all of the leftovers.”

rom a very young age, Marina Camarlinghi was determined to become a restaurateur. “When I was five years old, I told my dad that I wanted to own a bar or a restaurant,” says Camarlinghi. “I’ve always loved it. I’m very passionate about food and what I do, but it’s a lot of work.” It’s no surprise, as Camarlinghi has cooking in her blood. Her grandparents opened an Italian restaurant on Front Street in Santa Cruz in 1940, and in 1960, her father and uncle opened up their own establishment, which thrived in the 1970s and ’80s. Camarlinghi’s aunt, Barbara Aluffi, started Barbara and Company Catering in the 1990s, and eventually sold the company to Camarlinghi in 2007. “I was raised in the business my whole life,” says Camarlinghi. Camarlinghi and her partner, Victor Cuevas-Sanchez, offer a variety of menu choices, and work with each client to make a customized menu that caters to each client.

“We were doing this incredibly aggressive jazz. We played there every Tuesday for about a year, until they finally kicked us out. But we built a little following. We were mostly playing Scott’s originals. He was taking a lot of shrooms, and writing his ass off.” — Smith Dobson V duties on countless gigs, including several recordings with Berkeley trumpeter Erik Jekabson. “I have the most history of all with John,” Dobson says. “He’s one of my dearest friends.” Dobson is no stranger to the Kuumbwa. He started playing at the venue as a young teenager, sitting in on Bob Blankenship’s drums at the club’s weekly jam session. At 15, he started studying with Ray Brown at Cabrillo College, where he finally found peers equally obsessed with music. “I went from being a really lonely kid with no friends, a weirdo listening to jazz, to actually making good friends,” Dobson says. Before long he was playing on the Pacific Garden Mall with trombonist Scott Larson, a connection that evolved into a trio with bassist Ron Overbury. Inspired by the visceral free jazz of John Zorn, the band, expanded to a quintet with trumpeter standards and altoist Greg Reynolds, landed a long-running Tuesday night gig at Palookaville as the Guts. “We were doing this incredibly aggressive jazz,” Dobson recalls. “We played there every Tuesday for about a year, until they finally kicked us out. But we built a little following. We were mostly playing Scott’s originals. He was taking a lot of shrooms, and writing his ass off.” Those were the days when Dobson focused on drums and vibes. He returns to Santa Cruz wearing his tenor hat, playing quietly intense chamber jazz designed for maximum melodic invention.

to deliver a statement about his formative saxophone influences, “to pay homage to the masters who have shaped my sound,” says Dobson, 37. Featuring clarinet master and composer Ben Goldberg, a UC Santa Cruz grad who has gained international recognition as an invaluable innovator on the instrument, Dobson’s band has honed a contrapuntal approach with interwoven melodies. “Interestingly enough, I learned that from Ben when he used to live in Santa Cruz,” Dobson says. “I used to hear him at the Jahva House when I was 14 or so playing with Kenny Wollesen and Graham Connah. I consider him one of the greatest improvisers in the world.” Dobson has developed the repertoire while holding down a coveted spot at Club Deluxe in the Haight, playing every Tuesday and third Saturday. He also performs every first Saturday at Bird & Beckett Books & Records, an intimate outpost for jazz in San Francisco. With first-call bassist John Wiitala, pianist Keith Saunders, a 20-year New York veteran, and drummer Hamir Atwal, the band is stocked with top-shelf improvisers. “Keith reminds me of my dad,” Dobson says, offering the pianist the highest praise. “He swings so hard, and he has such complete mastery of the bebop and postbop idioms. Hamir is an old friend who I remember starting out on drums with a lot of potential. Now he’s truly original and he’s taking my gigs! He’s got a feather-light touch.” As a drummer, he and Wiitala have shared rhythm section

QUIRK AND TO THE POINT Miranda July brings her debut novel to Bookshop Santa Cruz on Jan. 21.

July Rhapsody Why we care about Miranda Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quirky work BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

iranda July thinks about the peculiar nature of ordinary lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a lot. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her award-winning film, Me, You and Everyone we Know, which lays out the magic and misunderstandings that lead to love; her book of short stories, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No One Belongs Here More than You,â&#x20AC;? written in shades of awkward deviation and tender acceptance; or a short film about dealing with distractions such as cell phones and magazines by trapping them under overturned bowls, she examines us in our day-to-day habitats, knowing that we hide our most telling secrets in plain sight. July will be appearing at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. for her first novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The First Bad Man.â&#x20AC;? She has even created an online store, thefirstbadman.com, that sells objects mentioned in the book (all proceeds go to charity). In her novel, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guided through an intimate yet somehow epic tale of overturned expectations by seemingly ordinary Cheryl Glickman. Middle-aged and driven by habit, she lives alone and works at a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-defense nonprofit. She also has a perpetual lump in her throat,

unrequited love for a caddish board member, and a nagging sense, fueled by vague memories, that she was meant to be a mother. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last person youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect to be swept up into an oddly moving and sometimes hilarious exploration of sexual obsession, raw emotion, and twisted logic, but once she agrees to allow her bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Clee, to come live with her, all bets are off. Clee is bombastic, pungent, beautiful, rude, and may be the ticket to Cherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful yearnings. July is sometimes critiqued for placing quirk above all else, but her art never loses sight of the crossroads where our strangeness meets our beauty. In a world where issues like religion, money and politics drive us apart, she seems compelled to search through the minutia of our eccentricities for the beautiful, terrible, funny, redeemable qualities that connect us. And when we inevitably spot some aspect of ourselves in her outlandish cast of characters, we understand that this is what she was aiming for all along. Indeed, this is what great art is all about. Info: 7 p.m., Jan. 21, Bookshop Santa Cruz, 423-0900. Free.

ART FILES

CALIFORNIA DREAMER Catherine Segurson wanted to create a magazine that captured the art, environmental issues, and mentality of the West Coast. PHOTO: ARUN NEVADER

Chic Lit

hree years ago, Bay Area arts entrepreneur Catherine Segurson unveiled her new literary arts magazine Catamaran from its Tannery headquarters. The quarterly—the name inspired by the adventurous sailing vessel—is packed with poetry, fiction, and nonfiction celebrating the robust spirit of West Coast consciousness. What distinguishes Catamaran from other literary journals is its narrative blend of words and images. “Looking for the narrative in visual art is ingrained in me from my work in film editing,” Segurson says. “We curate the words and art around each other.”

The blonde statuesque Segurson mined her own Bay Area roots in crafting her project. “My vision was to establish a brand, or a voice— much like the way the New Yorker always feels like New York. I wanted Catamaran to feel like it comes from the West Coast.” To that end, the magazine explores the natural world, the environment and people inspired by nature. “We look for important figures, as well as newcomers,” she notes. “Another broad theme has been the artistic spirit itself— making art—and we explore the life of the artist in each issue.” For example, poet/publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti was showcased in

a recent Catamaran. Segurson’s editorial team also emphasizes the West as a destination for pioneers and explorers. Free spirits. “We curate around these broad themes and then look for visual work that evokes the poetry or stories we use. I try to match the narrative in the image so that the entire issue flows from beginning to end, from cover to cover.” Catamaran vibrantly displays its founder’s vision of “providing portals into new art forms. They might begin by reading a poet they already know,” she explains, “but then the image on the facing page might catch their eye. And they come away with a new experience.

Catamaran literary arts magazine celebrates its third year BY CHRISTINA WATERS

It’s not just an arts magazine—I wanted to create a sense of flow in the reader's experience.” “I always loved Santa Cruz,” says Segurson, who earned her B.A. at UC Davis, where she studied painting with Wayne Thiebaud, whose work was on Catamaran’s first cover. While working on her M.F.A. at Cal Arts in Creative Writing, Segurson began experimenting with what was to become her magazine style. “Writing was my focus, but we combined genres and collaborated with visual artists. That’s where the seed was planted for a magazine that would offer both visual and literary experiences,” she says. As well as publishing and painting, Segurson is a successful writer whose work appears in the current Chicago Quarterly Review. Steeped in visual and literary art currents—including a stint at Francis Ford Coppola’s All-Story magazine—Segurson moved to Santa Cruz and began exploring various local art collectives, while creating films for Getty Images. All of her connections in the various literary and visual worlds came into play when she toured the new Tannery studios in 2011. “So many different genres in one place could be inspiring I thought. So I suggested a literary magazine.” Next came a team of collaborators, nonprofit status and the formation of a board. A philosophy took shape. Some of Catamaran’s artists would be juried and some were solicited through connections and references. “We have pretty high standards,” Segurson admits. Wendell Berry and Ursula LeGuin have shown up in Catamaran’s pages. Printing and distributing over 3,000 issues every quarter is a labor of love for the single mother of three. “I love it so much that we added a Writer’s Conference last summer.” Segurson attributes her success to “talent plus a lot of willpower. Being able to connect with people has been key. I couldn’t do it alone,” she adds, admitting that she and managing editor/writer Elizabeth McKenzie are in touch every single day. “Everybody contributes.”

WALKING WITH A GHOST Ghost Tiger play the Crepe Place on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Tiger By the Tale

Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel’s evocative songwriting fuels Ghost Tiger BY CAT JOHNSON

he daughter of film music composer Brad Fiedel, who scored dozens of films including The Terminator and True Lies, Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel grew up surrounded by music. There were always instruments around the house and in Fiedel’s studio. She would also go with him to hear orchestras perform his scores—an experience she calls “fascinating.” But Macmillan-Fiedel didn’t pick up music herself until high school. In her freshman year, her dad sent her on a scavenger hunt around the house, and the prize, waiting for her in the guest room, was her own guitar. She started writing songs, and eventually

began performing and recording as Alixandra and the Tailor Sea. A lukewarm recording experience laying down what was going to be her second solo album, however, left her wanting more. “I wasn’t incredibly happy with [the recording],” she says, “but through the process, I learned that I was hearing all these things that I couldn’t create myself.” Macmillan-Fiedel moved from New York, where she was attending Sarah Lawrence College, back to her home turf of Southern California and put together a band of some friends: Kevin Evans on bass, Christopher Norlinger on guitar, and Emma

Huston on keyboards and vocals. They spent months playing together before they found drummer Chris Stansell. Ghost Tiger, as the outfit came to be known, is an indie folk rock outfit that pulls together a lot of different influences, stirs them all together and creates a musical stew of pop, goth, indie-rock driven by African-inspired rhythms. “We come from many different backgrounds,” says Macmillan-Fiedel, explaining that she and Norlinger are self-taught. Evans used to play in an African group; Huston is classicallytrained and had never been in a band before; and Stansell has a jazz

background. The thing that ties it all together is the vocals, which feature tight harmonies, layered hooks, and a spooky, mysterious quality. “I would say,” she says, “that the common thread through all the songs is the songwriting and vocals. The songs are very vocally driven and full of harmony. Whether it’s ‘I Want You Out,’ which is a folk song, or ‘Science Camp,’ which is a more rocking song, the chorus is around our voices.” The topics of the songs—the majority of which Macmillan-Fiedel writes—vary, but a recurring theme is her trying to figure out where her roots are and what it means to be in one place. When Macmillan-Fiedel was seven years old, her mother moved to Europe, so as a child Macmillan-Fiedel spent a lot of time traveling between her two homes. “I grew up between Santa Barbara and Europe,” she says. “And a feeling of going back and forth is something that I feel. It translates into my writing, even if it’s not apparent.” She adds, “I definitely have questions [around that] that I work through in my writing.” The band has a handful of tracks and a seven-inch single under its belt, and has been named one of Santa Barbara’s best new bands by the Santa Barbara Independent. A new EP titled Some Friends Feel Like Family, which was released earlier this month, is full of radio-friendly, sing-along grooves. It’s what Macmillan-Fiedel describes as a “driving EP.” “You can put it on and drive up the coast,” she says. “It has a West Coast vibe.” It’s been a year since they recorded Some Friends Feel Like Family and since then, Macmillan-Fiedel and Norlinger, who used to live in Santa Cruz, have been collaborating on a new batch of songs. The band is looking forward to showcasing the EP and introducing the Ghost Tiger sound to a wider audience. Following a release party in Santa Barbara, the band headed out on a West Coast tour, which includes a stop in Santa Cruz. “We’re really excited about being able to get on the road and share these songs out of town,” she says. “It will be good to start the new year that way.” Ghost Tiger will perform at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

THE BAD LIGHT When I saw the Bad Light last April, Edu Cerro’s metalish band had been searching for the right drummer for several months. It was their second show with drummer Dana Shepard, and as Cerro dug his fingers into his guitar strings, bending them into dizzying blues licks as his long brown hair swayed side to side, he would periodically look over at Shepard as if he couldn’t believe his ears. “That dude was a godsend. I couldn’t believe it,” Cerro says. “Having gone through a few drummers in a short amount of time, I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel, but I was definitely running out of steam.”

JANUARY 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Shepard and Cerro found one another via Craigslist—Shepard had posted that he wanted to play Tom Waits-esque music, and the two bonded over old-school punk rock and the East Coast hardcore scene. During practice sessions, Cerro suddenly had to get used to turning his amp’s volume up, instead of down.

“He plays drums like his personality,” Cerro says. “He comes in, and he’s loud, and he’s aggressive, and he plays that way. I’ve never seen anyone snap the lugs on their snare drum, but he has to change his every week.” The three-piece is filled out by backup vocalist Emily Pegado, who brings a “spooky R&B” sound to the band, says Cerro. When releasing their first album, the band called its vibe “delta sludge”— just to see if it would catch on. (It didn't.) Doom and sludge metal also come to mind. But buried under all the heavy effects is Cerro’s love for passionate blues guitarists like Charley Patton and Bukka White. “It’s definitely more country and blues, with a bunch of fuzz, and then go,” Cerro says. “Whatever comes out.” JACOB PIERCE

THE COUP

THUR-FRI 1/22-1/23

SATURDAY 1/24

DAVE ALVIN & PHIL ALVIN

LA WITCH

AMERICANA

It’s no secret that Dave and Phil Alvin, the brothers behind roots rock band the Blasters, had a falling out. For years, their contentious relationship was a tidbit of Americana gossip passed between fans and people in the know. But a near-death experience for Phil reunited the brothers in a way that only a near-death experience can do. The two combined musical forces, hit the studio to record a new album together—the first in 30 years—and are now on the road touring, including a two-night stint at Moe’s Alley. “We hadn’t made a full album together since 1985,” Dave has said, “but as you get older, you realize you’re not immortal, and you’ve only got so much time.” CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8 p.m. Thursday, 9 p.m. Friday. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

PSYCH-ROCK

The descriptions used to try and pin down psych-rock outfit LA Witch are great: ‘scuzzy, dark, country minimalism,” “haunted surf rock,” “dirty, distorted country.” Clearly, the band has a sound that’s tricky to wrap adjectives around, with spooky vocals, a thread of classic country guitar, fuzz effects to boot, and pulsing, trans-inducing drums. If you’re a fan of the Black Angels or Goat, check out this trio of women—Sade, Irita and Ellie—who are making a very cool and unusual noise in the underground. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

HIP-HOP

THE COUP To the casual listener, Oakland’s Coup seems to be having one big party on stage. And it’s true, they approach hip-hop by way of Parliament, Outkast

and Prince—with a little flair of punk rock—but they have also been one of the most radically political hip-hop groups going since their inception in 1991. In fact, their original album cover for Party Music was the image of the group posturing in front of an image of the twin towers burning. (It was pulled because by a bizarre coincidence, 9/11 happened just before it was supposed to hit shelves.) The group, a full live band led by the witty, charismatic Boots Riley, put on aggressively funky shows. It’s rebellious party rap at its finest. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

ROCK

STAN RIDGWAY Songwriter, guitarist and the original vocalist for the group Wall of Voodoo, Stan Ridgway is a modern legend in rock circles. He’s been compared not only to Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and Randy Newman, but also to Raymond Chandler and Quentin Tarantino because of his penchant for telling

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST THE BAD LIGHT, MOUNTAIN TAMER & WORSHIP On Friday, the Bad Light (see Love Your Local Band) are joined by Mountain Tamer (above), a local psychedelic/ grunge trio committed to creating trip-enhancing sounds, and Worship, a Black Sabbath-inspired band out of Salinas. I’m thinking this is going to be a hazy evening, indeed, alternating between the slow, doom nod and the hair-flying, horns-up, classic metal headbang. CAT JOHNSON

On Sunday afternoon, she teams up with John Mailander, a San Diego-based multi-instrumentalist who has shared stages with the Alison Brown Quartet, Tony Trischka, and

AMERICANA

TIM FLANNERY AND THE LUNATIC FRINGE Yes, this is the same Tim Flannery that played for the San Diego Padres from 1979-1989, and was the San Francisco Giants third base coach from 2007-2014. But he’s no Johnny-come-lately in the music scene. He’s been playing music in some capacity since the eigth grade. He started the band Buff’d Out, a Jimmy Buffet tribute band, shortly after retiring from the Padres, but could only play “Cheeseburger in Paradise” so many times before forming the Lunatic Fringe and writing original tunes. Eleven albums later, they’ve become a respected name in the Americana scene with their gentle,

spirited blend of country, folk and rock ’n’ roll. AC INFO: 7 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $26.50. 423-8209.

Soulful, experimental, electro-funk grooves. Friday at Don Quixote’s

Punk rock’s original poet is back. Patti Smith scored a hit with “Because the Night” in 1978, but she’s best known for her groundbreaking music in the late ’70s as part of the CBGB’s scene that also gave the world the Ramones, Talking Heads and Blondie. She combined originals and covers in a whirlwind of visceral rock ’n’ roll and spoken word, erupting in emotionally fierce spasms. Artists claiming her as a central influence run the gamut, including Madonna, Courtney Love, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and the Smith’s Johnny Marr. AC

‘American Sniper’ a bold but grueling experience BY LISA JENSEN

,56

hatever your opinion is of America’s endless and ongoing misadventures in the Middle East, it’s likely to be confirmed by the harrowing war drama American Sniper. Based on the memoir by Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle, recounting his four tours of duty in Iraq, with vigorous and muscular direction by Clint Eastwood, the film plunges viewers relentlessly into the chaos of post9/11 U.S. military ops in the desert war zone and never lets up. If you go into this movie believing the rhetoric that America is waging a just and necessary campaign against global terrorism fought by heroic young troops risking their lives, limbs,

mental health and futures, every day for the greater good, this film supports that belief. If, on the other hand, you believe American youth are being sold a patriotic bill of goods to be sucked into the war machine that spits them out as robotic monsters capable of unspeakable acts in a pointless battle for dubious goals that can probably never be “won”—and then abandons them, broken and hopeless, when they are no longer of any use—that theory is borne out in this film as well. It may be that both sides of this debate are plausibly true, in which case Eastwood’s film is brilliant and uncompromising in depicting the complex realities of modern warfare. Personally, I admire the way Eastwood put the film together, the punchy way

he replicates the stark chaotic horror of this particular battle zone, where soldiers are faced with constant, impossible split-second decisions as to who are innocent bystanders and who are potential assassins. But watching this movie is like being bludgeoned; I hated just about every minute of the experience of sitting through it, from war-porn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military funerals after the fact. Scripted by Jason Hall, the film begins with a powerful moment of crisis. Sharpshooter Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) is stationed on an Iraq rooftop, covering a military operation going on in the street. His roving gun sights pick out a man on his cell phone on a balcony, and a young

woman and a little boy emerging into the street. It’s his call to decide who’s a “valid” target; repercussions will be horrendous if he guesses wrong. Flashback to Chris’ boyhood in Texas, where he learns to shoot from his hunter father, a man who raises his sons to be neither sheep nor wolves, but “sheepdogs” protecting others. A part-time rodeo cowboy, Chris joins the military at age 30, where his skills earn him a place as a SEAL. A few days after he marries Taya (Sienna Miller), he’s called up for his first tour in Iraq. Chris excels at his job, earning the nickname “Legend” among the troops. But he internalizes the horror of the experience to the point that he can barely function stateside. Driven by the need to protect his comrades, he keeps going back to Iraq, despite Taya’s desperate tantrums over the way he continues to choose the war over her and their kids. Cooper is excellent in conveying the mask of edgy amiability that Chris employs to conceal his increasingly profound psychological turmoil. The bravery of these men and women on the front lines is not in question. The tragedy is, after everything they suffer and endure, along with the suffering they inflict on others, that they don’t dare question the wisdom of our invasion of this region and its devastating consequences. (As intense as the action scenes are in their moral ambiguity, it’s still the kind of action movie in which, when an Iraqi sniper who is also “just doing his job” gets killed, you can be sure some yahoos in the audience will cheer.) One cogent point the film makes that both sides can agree on: Americans at home have no idea this war is going on. Unlike Vietnam, it’s not on the nightly news; the sons and daughters of the middle class (what’s left of it) aren’t in danger of being drafted, and so it doesn’t impinge on people’s daily lives. At best, Eastwood’s film forces viewers to confront the grim reality of the war being waged in our name. AMERICAN SNIPER *** (out of four) With Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. Written by Jason Hall from the book by Chris Kyle. Directed by Clint Eastwood. A Warner Bros. release. Rated R. 132 minutes.

FILM

DIESEL AND DUST Timothy Spall portrays J.M.W. Turner, who captured the smoggy harbors of Industrial Revolution England, in ‘Mr. Turner.’

Portrait of the Artist

HERE’S A SCENE in Skyfall where Daniel Craig’s James Bond is meeting with his quartermaster (Ben Whishaw) at the British National Gallery. Our hero is seated in front of J.M.W. Turner’s 1838 painting “The Fighting Temeraire.” It depicts a ship, once part of the victorious British fleet at Trafalgar, being towed to the wrecker’s yard for salvage. The young Q has chosen the rendezvous carefully and cruelly as a way to infer 007’s obsolescence. The question of obsolescence is a part of Mike Leigh’s towering study of the artist in question, Mr. Turner. Mike Leigh, likely

England’s most eminent director, may be demonstrating his own perplexity at changing tastes, and the changing ideas of what makes a movie. This biography of an odd, compartmentalizing man’s last quarter century is as fascinating as it is lovable. It’s a series of incidents, most of them quiet, illustrating an off-beat life. Turner (Timothy Spall) was the painter of seaside turbulence, of smoke and brume. In some respects, he anticipated the action painters of the 1950s, using his fingernails and spittle on his canvases. Spall may be best known from the Harry Potter films as a wererat, but his squinting,

ambling Turner is more like a bear half-out of hibernation. He growls and rumbles his displeasure at everything from the rising price of pigments to the less-than-acute criticism coming his way. But Spall also shows us a cordial, good humored figure. Turner is depicted as a Dickensian character in some respects—a self-made man, free to speak his mind. Even if Leigh famously keeps his work unscripted, after periods of intense rehearsal, language is essential to this film. Mr. Turner’s fine texture is both in the lines we understand, and the ones we don’t quite pick up at once. Spall brings a burr and roll to the dialogue

MR. TURNER With Timothy Spall. Directed by Mike Leigh. Rated R. 150 minutes.

‘Mr. Turner’ captures a brutish, observant artist living in a brutish time BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

recalling vintage actors such as W.C. Fields and Charles Laughton. Encouraging a nervous young woman playing her spinet, he says, “I possess a rare fondness for Purcell.” Like Orson Welles in his lookingbackward films, Leigh seems to have faith that it was a good life back then. However, he doesn’t overlook how little doctors could do for the ill. Mortality dogs the painter as he does his work. Both Turner and his beloved father (Paul Jesson) suffer from lung ailments. Many of the people who will hate Mr. Turner will hate it for the artist’s home life—the scenes of the artist’s brutish use and neglect of his adoring servant Hannah (Dorothy Atkinson) who was crippled with psoriasis. Yet Mr. Turner shows the true satisfaction of domesticity when Turner finally meets his soul mate: Sophia (Marion Bailey) a bright-eyed Margate innkeeper with a sweet Kentish accent. There was a time when the word “homely” wasn’t an insult—when it meant a person or thing you’d want to come home to. Bailey’s warmth and merriness in the role shows a kind of attractiveness that is exactly the opposite of the brand sold at every magazine stand. As Victorian society got wealthier and duller, the national art became loftier. The Pre-Raphaelites came into fashion, flattering the aristocrats who liked to see themselves as the descendants of King Arthur. Turner is seen snickering at a gallery full of lily-fair maids and knights in armor. (I recalled Spall singing from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Princess Ida in Leigh’s Topsy Turvy: “A man is but an ass/ who fights in a cuirass.”) The British public snickered also, as Turner’s canvases became more abstract. As happened to Whistler years later, Turner was accused of throwing a pot of paint in the public’s face. There may be more than one way to read this story of a firm but affable artist, who made a remarkable altruistic gesture when faced with a final payoff. Leigh revels in the physicality of this long gone era. But between the lines, he provides a lesson in keeping the soul guarded and seeking what endures.

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN SNIPER Reviewed this issue. (R) 132 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. BIG EYES Time-travel back to San Francisco in the late 1950s and early ‘60s in Tim Burton’s vivid, candycolored homage to the hugely popular big-eyed waifs painted by “Keane.” Why make a biopic about such kitschy work? Because beneath the tale of the work itself lies the incipient women’s empowerment story about a charismatic alpha male who marketed like crazy, passing himself off as the author of work painted by his unsung wife for 10 years. Christoph Waltz is effective, if exhausting, as the imposter Walter Keane; Amy Adams evolves nicely, if slowly, as the talented, but subjugated wife, Margaret Keane, he threatened and cajoled into keeping their secret for years, who ﬁnally claimed her place in the spotlight. (PG13) 109 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. BLACKHAT International cybercrime is the subject of this action thriller from Michael Mann, starring Chris Hemsworth as a furloughed convict recruited to track down a cybercrime organization with his American and Chinese partners. Viola Davis and Tang Wei co-star. (R) 135 minutes. FOXCATCHER There’s much to admire in this thoughtful true-crime drama of money and privilege, severe delusions of grandeur, and a murder that rocked the pro wrestling world—although director Bennett Miller’s slow-moving narrative often threatens to sink under its own sense of gravitas. But the ﬁlm is shored up by three outstanding performances: Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as Olympic wrestling champion brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, and Steve Carrell in the pivotal role of poor little rich boy John du Pont, who inextricably inserts himself into the lives, careers, and destiny of the Schultz brothers. (R) 134 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THE GAMBLER Mark Wahlberg stars

as a mild-mannered English professor by day and a high-stakes gambler after hours who pits his gangster creditor against the owner of a gambling ring in a risky gamble for a second chance. Jessica Lange, Brie Larson, and John Goodman co-star for director Rupert Wyatt in this update of the vintage James Caan movie. (R) 111 minutes. THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 Jennifer Lawrence returns again as Katniss Everdeen—along with most of the original cast—in this first installment of the third and last book in Suzanne Collins’ dystopian futurist sci-fi series. (Part 2 comes out next year.) Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and Julianne Moore head the cast. Francis Lawrence directs. (PG-13) 123 minutes. THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzlesolver, unsung in his own lifetime, who built the first computer to break the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II. Turing’s arrogant intelligence, closeted sexuality and borderline Asperger’s syndrome would reduce a lesser actor to tics and melodrama, but Cumberbatch’s commanding focus makes his performance a series of acute and subtle revelations. Morten Tyldum’s time-traveling narrative conveys the complexity of Turing’s story before, during, and after his work on Enigma, presenting the singular Turing as a man trying to crack the code of social “normality” throughout his life. Mark Strong, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Charles Dance offer smart supporting performances. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. INHERENT VICE Joaquin Phoenix stars as the hapless goofball protagonist in this adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon comic novel about sex and drugs in 1970s L.A., as a low-rent private eye searches for a missing ex-girlfriend. Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Benicio Del Toro, and Reese Witherspoon co-star for director Paul Thomas Anderson. (R) 148 minutes. (Saved FGB) INTO THE WOODS Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s hit

Broadway musical, a fairy-tale mashup for grown-ups, is capably directed by Rob Marshall into a savvy piece of moviemaking. A great cast of actors not known as singers (Meryl Streep as the Witch and the scene-stealing Chris Pine as Cinderella’s Prince are particularly good) delivers Sondheim’s witty lyrics and intricate harmonies with style and clarity. A dark and lush entertainment that considers classic fairy-tale themes in all their glamorous, sinister glory. PG) 125 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. PADDINGTON The adorable bear in the red rain hat, hero of a series of beloved children’s’ books, gets lost in London’s Paddington Train Station and taken in by a kindly English family in this mostly live-action (+ CGI bear) family adventure. Nicole Kidman, Peter Capaldi, Julie Walters, Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent head the humanoid cast. Ben Whishaw provides the voice of Paddington. (PG) 90 minutes. SELMA The struggle to make the Voting Rights Act a reality is dramatized in this extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature from director Ava DuVernay; the story chronicles a few months in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King (played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by David Oyelowo) organized a series of protest marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery to dramatize the suppression of black voting rights to the White House—and the world. In our own particular historical moment, when “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying cry in our streets, and the VRA has been shamefully gutted by the current Supreme Court, this movie could not be more timely. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. SPARE PARTS Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club and ﬁnd themselves in a competition with the robotics wizards of MIT in this upbeat drama based on a true story. Marisa Tomei, George Lopez, and Jamie Lee Curtis head the cast. Sean McNamara directs. (PG-13) 113 minutes. TAKEN 3 Liam Neeson rides again as the implacably cool ex-CIA op who foiled complex kidnapping plots in the ﬁrst two thrillers now using

all his wicked counter-intelligence skills to elude the bad guys tracking him and clear himself of a bogus murder charge. Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen co-star for returning director Olivier Megaton. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (Saved FGB) THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING The image of science icon Stephen Hawking slouched in his motorized wheelchair, communicating through his robotic voice synthesizer, is so wellknown, it’s difficult to imagine him any other way. But that changes with this smart, funny, and tender biographical drama from director James Marsh. Beginning with Hawking as a vigorous young grad student at Cambridge, it tells the enduring love story of Hawking and his first wife, Jane. Oscars may loom for the exceptional performances by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in a film that celebrates tenacity—in life, love, and ideas. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen. UNBROKEN Angelina Jolie directs this World War II drama that follows the true story of Louis Zamperini from American distance runner at the 1936 Olympics, to Air Force captain shot down over the Pacific, to survivor in a brutal Japanese POW camp. Jack O’Connell stars, with Domhnall Gleeson, Garrett Hedlund, Finn Wittrock, and Japanese actor Miyavi in supporting roles. (PG-13) 137 minutes. THE WEDDING RINGER A socially awkward groom-to-be (Josh Gad) rents a hip best man-for-hire (Kevin Hart) to make his wedding a success in this modern comedy of manners. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting and Alan Ritchson co-star for director Jeremy Garelick. (R) 101 minutes. WILD The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. But the years of turmoil leading up to that step are as compelling as the journey itself in JeanMarc Vallée’s screen adaptation of the bestselling memoir by Cheryl Strayed about one novice hiker’s quest for redemption on the Pacific Crest Trail. While the woman vs. wilderness motif provides visual engagement (with the inexhaustible Reese Witherspoon as Strayed), the backstory featuring the great Laura Dern as Strayed’s mother gives the film scope and resonance. (R) 115 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

THE CALIFORNIA BURRITO: PART I My UCSC students are all mad for this mega-creation called the California burrito, a burrito that is—I kid you not—packed with french fries! So I went to La Cabaña on Mission Street last week and ordered one of these ginormous creations. For $7.95 I got a massive tube of flour tortilla, roughly 3 inches by 8 inches, packed with guacamole, fries, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and shredded pork. I loved the hugeness of the portion—lunch for three normal humans or one surfer— but let’s just say that fries packed into a lavishly proportioned tortilla is way more carbs than I can wrap my head around. So many ingredients amounted to flavor confusion, in my humble opinion.

Bye Bye Benten!

Benten closing, plus award-winning gin, a massive burrito and chocolate BY CHRISTINA WATERS

fter 30 years, through thick, thin, and even an earthquake, Mieko Hawkes and her business partner/ sushi chef Isao Sugawara made sushi specialties for the downtown Santa Cruz audience. And now, after 30 years of maguro nigiri, endless tobiko with quail egg, and more than a few thousand donburi bowls, Benten Japanese Restaurant is closing its Pacific Avenue doors on Jan. 31. Yukie Hawkes emailed me that her mother and her partner have seen “a whole generation of young children who didn’t know what edamame or California rolls were, who are

now bringing their own children who are already sushi savvy.” As a devoted sushi addict, I say Arigato to Benten for all of its delicious years of service. So, you had better get in there quick for your final Benten hamachi fix—and, if you’re interested, Benten will be having an inventory and furniture sale in February. Think outside the bento box!

VENUS SPIRITS GIN WINS GOOD FOOD AWARD Congratulations to high-spirited entrepreneur Sean Venus, whose feisty Venus Spirits Gin Blend No. 01 is a

winner in the 2015 Good Food Awards. The Good Food Awards showcases top American artisan and craft food producers and Venus Spirits Gin Blend No. 01—certified organic, by the way—was a top scorer in the blind tasting. If you’re wondering what’s in the blend of Blend No. 01, we can tell you that among the 10 different herbs, fruits, and botanicals you’ll detect fresh juniper, lemon, ginger, and lavender—and other mystery ingredients, as well. Look for Venus Spirits’ small-batch spirits including El Ladrón Blue Agave, Wayward Whiskey (scheduled to be released any minute now), and, of

Admit it, you love the trending dark chocolate bar with almonds and sea salt. So do I. So my team compared three versions, each roughly $3, and here’s what we found. Numero uno was the Cocoalove 55 percent chocolate bar. Creamiest mouthfeel, large almond chunks, slightly sweeter than the others, and, hence, providing sexy contrast with the salt crystals. A very close second was Theo organic fair-trade version made of 70 percent dark chocolate with Himalayan pink salt. This bar also had wonderful smooth texture, but the saltiness was not as distinct as in the Cocoalove version. Coming in third was the 72 percent cacaoinfused Endangered Species bar. It offered great balance and plenty of sea salt. The slightly bitter finish might appeal to many palates, as would the hint of vanilla and more angular central core. This sea salt and almond bar also offered plenty of crunchy sea salt. The darker chocolate bars were both surprisingly smooth and lacked the soapy after-taste of many intensely dark chocolate creations. But my team came back again and again to the well-rounded Cocoalove sea salt and almond bar (which is my house brand), with the Theo a brilliant runner-up. Fieldwork on this subject is arduous, and ongoing.

he Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey County is a prime grapegrowing region. Its proximity to the cool maritime influences of the Monterey Bay allows fruit to ripen slowly, and, for Lucia Highlands’ 2012 Chardonnay from Kelly’s Vineyard, a luscious wine with intense tropical fruit flavors is the result. This rich Chardonnay ($25) has concentrated layers of apple, ripe pear and pineapple, and a hint of caramel from its oak aging. I opened up the Chardonnay with a dinner of grilled chicken and potatoes, and it proved to be a lovely pairing. This wine also goes well with pork and pasta dishes, and I would recommend it with some tasty appetizers, such as pâté, shrimp, cheese, and olives. Vintners Carol and Bret Sisney, who also grow grapes in their vineyards for other wineries, carefully harvest their fruit, gently press it and barrel-ferment it in tight-grain French oak—softening the acidity and creating a wine with character. Lucia Highlands wine is readily available in local stores, such as The Fish Lady, Deluxe Foods of Aptos and Seascape Foods, and it’s also sold in local restaurants Bittersweet Bistro and the Britannia Arms, as well as Rootstock Wine Bar in Los Gatos.

Cremer House What’s old is cutting-edge again in Felton BY AARON CARNES

he oldest building in Felton is now home to one of the city’s most cutting-edge restaurants and alehouses. The Cremer House, which was opened by Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing owner Emily Thomas and Felton/Boulder Creek New Leaf owner Bob Locatelli in December, combines all the latest trends in beer and gastropub eats. The emphasis is on carrying delicious pub food, but healthy and organic. We spoke with Thomas about her new place.

A lot of the focus of the menu seems to be portion. Why is that? I call it a vessel-based menu. I just have always loved old containers. Our

Live Music every Wed 6p - 8p!

menu is jars and boards and baskets and skillets, so like a cast iron skillet or an old jar. We want to make food that is trend-proof, and pays tribute to the historic nature of the building— but, you know, ale-house inspired. Serve the classic American food, but prepared with high-quality ingredients.

Mission St BBQ is proud to bring REAL SMOKED BBQ to the Westside of Santa Cruz

One of the most interesting examples of how you infuse beer in your food is the “hopcorn.” What is that? We dress the popcorn with a hop oil. You can taste the bitterness of the hops. It incorporates the richness. There’s an aged Parmesan cheese and herbs, so you get a lot of flavor components. What inspired you to have so many vegetarian-friendly menu items? In the San Lorenzo Valley, there aren’t a lot of options. Instead of just having a couple of things, 50 percent of our menu is vegetarian. It’s really easy when you live in Santa Cruz to get good vegetarian food. My best friends are vegetarian. Their complaints about veggie burgers is that most places use prepackaged burger. So we wanted to make one that was in-house and have it be unique. Ours is a curry red lentil burger, offset with a mango chutney, yogurt, and a mint cilantro chutney.

How have you incorporated the character of the building into your restaurant’s ambiance? EMILY THOMAS: We wanted to recreate the historical aspect of it in the interior, basically letting the history of the building inspire us. It took us a long time. Bob and I have been working on it for four years. There were definitely structural challenges. It’s an old building. I grew up in the San Lorenzo Valley, and I’ve always had an affinity for that building. It’s the oldest building in Felton. For the last 10 years it’s sat vacant.

3 RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MERCURY RETROGRADE IN AQUARIUS The magical time of Mercury’s retrograde cycle is here once again, until Feb. 11, and then some. The Mercury retro cycle actually lasts eight weeks when we consider its retrograde shadow, giving us six months a year for review. We know the rules of Mercury retro: Be careful with everything; cars, driving, money, resources, friends, friendships, groups, interactions, thinking, talking, communications. Avoid big purchases, important meetings and important repairs. Mercury retrograde times are for review, reassessment and rest. Our minds are overloaded from the last Mercury retro. Our minds need to assess what we’ve done since October—eliminating what is not needed, keeping what’s important, preparing for new information in the next three months (till mid-May). Mercury in Aquarius retrograde … we reinvent ourselves, seek the unusual, we don’t

hide, we’re just careful. We live in two worlds; outer appearances and inner reckonings, with both sides of our brain activated. Yet, like the light of the Gemini twins, one light waxes (inner world), the other (outer realities) wanes. Like Virgo, we see what’s been overlooked—assessing, ordering and organizing information. It’s an entirely inner process. When speaking we may utter only half of the sentence. We’re in the underworld, closer to Spirit, eyes unseeing, senses alerted, re-doing things over and over till we sometimes collapse. Because we’re in other realms, we’re wobbly, make mistakes, and don’t really know what we want. It’s not a time for decisions. Not yet. It’s a time of review. And completing things. Mercury retro: integration, slowing down, resolution, rapprochement.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You long to be free to pursue your usual pleasures and enjoyments. However ambition and success call, and that requires discipline and the completion of all tasks, something unusual and difficult for you. Where’s Taurus, you ask, the one who completes everything? Things silent, quiet and hidden increase around you. Imaginative ideas fill your mind. So much changing within. It’s good.

Things, people, events, ideas, even your profession may feel stalled or dissolving or there’s a feeling that nothing’s happening. The reality is everything’s disappearing into deeper layers of review and reflection. All outer structures move slowly now. Is something occurring in the home? A deepening of a marriage or relationship? Some profound depth and change is occurring there, perhaps with your sense of commitment to home, family and communication.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Jan. 21, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21

JANUARY 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

You’re called to be in the spotlight, to lead and organize. Perhaps you’re co-chairing a group, calling them to envision a future different than the past. This takes you into a new life-direction, defines you more completely, and highlights previously set goals. You’re ready to accomplish those objectives. The community you’re seeking to create? Very big, round, stable, warm, grows everything and comes with a natural swimming pool.

NEW for 2015 KAZU PRESENTS

GEMINI May22–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Many new ideas have occurred, stimulating you to make changes concerning beliefs, friendships and long held ideals. Communication may become difficult, relationships could feel limiting. Or a marriage could happen! Great things are in store for you in the coming months. Do take the time to listen quietly to your mind and heart, follow what inspires you and aim as high as you can. The fog on your Capricorn mountain clears.

Your values, what you value, you as valuable—these continue to shift and deepen. Careful if traveling. Everything is in a process of being underground and re-seeding in your life. You’ll need patience for this. Are financial things unclear? Something’s growing and expanding at the base of your life. Perhaps a new home, redecoration or a feeling that a new foundation is needed. Everything increases in value. Including you. Think, gather, find, be surprised.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You will experience many expansive yet internal changes this month in terms of how and what you think, your resources, ideals and goals, your knowledge of the world. You will seek these changes through travel, new books, new people. Make sure you’re as sensitive as you can be with others. Sensitive in this case means, “always acting from the heart.” It’s also time for gardening thoughts. Moonflowers planted.

Things were going along smoothly (somewhat) and then your planet, Saturn, changed signs. From Scorpio to Sagittarius. This is good. It allows Capricorns to assess their aspirations, how and where they see themselves and their next creative journey. A transformation of self along with values will slowly unfold in the next six months. New learnings come forth. Understandings about your childhood, too. Whenever conflicts arise, seek to apply the idea that “love underlies all events in your world.”

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

“The Moth Radio Hour” Saturday 1PM

“America’s TEST KITCHEN ” Sunday 2 PM

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Professional situations edge sideways giving you opportunity and inclination to assess how much time you’re out in the world, what you’re able to give the world, and what’s expected of you. A new depth of thinking begins. Slowly, quietly, new life paths appear. So many times this year you’ve wanted to hide. A new level of gladness appears. New goals, too, amidst challenges that you overcome.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Many obligations will be met this month and it might feel like too much work. However you’re ethical and will accomplish what is expected. Your creativity expands your self- worth. Something comes to a crisis in coming months. Something in terms of how you’ve cared for (or didn’t) and loved (or didn’t) people, how you were in relationships, how you valued them and had (or didn’t) loving understanding. We all learn in each relationship.

It’s important to have time alone, in solitude and quiet for lengths of time so you can relax and rejuvenate. Simultaneously it’s important to recognize the needs of others. Then your entire world shifts. Perhaps you’re reviewing past relationships and what part you played. Know that beginning now and for the next year or so, your money, finances, resources, values and all that you possess will shift and change. Therefore, use resources and money wisely.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

It’s good to revise any monetary situation becoming too difficult to handle. Assess finances on all levels. New ideas about finances quietly enter your world. The creativity you bring forth in daily life needs to be recognized. It creates your self-identity. For some Virgos, becoming pregnant will be a new identity with Pluto in the house of creation. Virgo always gestates a new reality. What is your hidden reality?

A whole new world begins for Pisces. Mars in Pisces will create a greater life force, expanded energy, optimism. It also creates inflammation, so daily doses of turmeric are needed, fewer grains, no sugar at all. For long you’ve wanted to bring forth something in form and matter. Jupiter will assist in this creation. Jupiter provides abundance, blessing, beauty, strength of will, spiritual purpose and a love that graces the lives of others. Ask. Keep asking.
