OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Sometimes there’s a story we have to go back to in order to really do it justice, and this week’s cover story is a good example. A few months ago, Mat Weir wrote a couple hundred words about the Deathless for our Love Your Local Band column, and the minute I read that Santa Cruz is home to the world’s first Buddhist punk band, I thought, “There has got to be a bigger story here.” Not just because combining Buddhism and punk sounds like the most Santa Cruz thing ever, but also because of the people involved.

Re: “The Story of Juneteenth (GT, 6/8): This article was beautifully written and filled a large gap in my knowledge of local history. I learned to celebrate Juneteenth in Los Angeles with my black co-workers beginning in the late 1970s in my work on community agriculture, and continuing on through my youth development work for UC Cooperative Extension in L.A. County over the next 30 years. It felt really good to find out that this celebration has a long history in Santa Cruz. High praise to Good Times and to Geoffrey Dunn for sharing this history with us.

RIVER SAFETY Re: San Lorenzo River: In a letter recently sent to the city, we outlined photo-documented public safety concerns for the pilot paddling program. We state in our letter that these hazards warrant serious consideration by city staff, city managers, city attorneys, the city council, and the public prior to proceeding with the pilot paddling program now tentatively scheduled for later this year. To this date there has been no response from city officials that these reported concerns for the welfare and safety of the public have been acknowledged nor investigated. Does this mean public safety doesn’t matter?

was my favorite ever in Santa Cruz (keep in mind I wasn’t here in time for the Camper Van Beethoven/Spot 1019/Tao Chemical/Special Fun era, and this will probably make more sense). What I think of as the “Bad Monkey bands”—Slow Gherkin, the Huxtables (by association), the Muggs, Exploding Crustaceans, Soda Pop FU, Junk Sick Dawn, etc.—created a smart and hugely entertaining scene that was always a kick to write about. But if you had told me then that the leader of one of the best bands from that scene, Fury 66, would go on to form a Buddhist punk band, I would have been shocked. Weir’s story explains exactly how Fury 66’s Joe Clements and Dharma Punx author Noah Levine got from there to here. Kudos to Weir for revisiting this story to tell it in all its hardcore-zen glory.

The San Lorenzo River levee was designed for flood control, not with human boating safety in mind. The SLR levee is built with rebar, wood, wire, steel, concrete and rocks in the riverbed and along its banks—designed to move water down the river channel. As members of the San Lorenzo River Advisory Group, appointed by the city council, we helped outline a strategy to address the proposed pilot paddling program. The group gave considerable attention to the birds and wildlife issues. Unfortunately, one issue was entirely overlooked—risks to human safety. Hazards include: 1. Gabion wire baskets used to construct most of the length of the SLR levee bank system show significant wear and are rusted with sharp protrusions, blocking safe exit from the levee. 2. Concrete blocks and rocks used just below the surface along the levee banks are invisible during high water levels, and likely to cause human or boat damage. 3. Remains of old construction material from a previous bridge include rusted rebar stakes. Potential to impale paddlers. 4. Wooden log retaining walls line the banks with steel cable wires, rebar, and metal brackets, making any exit in this area dangerous. 5. More than six tree logs are just below the surface water, placed there for fish habitat management. These logs are invisible just

The Santa Cruz County Planning Department is now accepting electronic payments for planning application fees, part of an effort to increase convenience. Know what this means? Government is now entering the 20th century! (Sit tight for it to enter the 21st. Have a cookie!) Starting last week, county officials are accepting such payments both in person and online. A 2.5 percent surcharge is added for credit and debit card payments, while electronic checks, which require an account number and routing number, are free.

Health and Healing Resources helps people open up and release pain caused by stress, trauma and abuse. Cofounder Natalia Roberti first started by embarking on her own journey of healing from abusive relationships, a car accident, and living with her son in a women’s shelter. The nonprofit will host an event called “From Emotional Turmoil to Emotional Stability” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 26 at 343 Soquel Avenue #333, Santa Cruz.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 22 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“The past lives on in art and memory,” writes author Margaret Drabble, “but it is not static: it shifts and changes as the present throws its shadow backwards.” That’s a fertile thought for you to meditate on during the coming weeks, Aries. Why? Because your history will be in a state of dramatic fermentation. The old days and the old ways will be mutating every which way. I hope you will be motivated, as a result, to rework the story of your life with flair and verve.

To celebrate my birthday, I’m taking time off from dreaming up original thoughts and creative spurs. For this horoscope, I’m borrowing some of the bold Laws of author Dianna Kokoszka. They are in sweet alignment with your astrological omens for the next 13 months. Take it away, Dianna. 1. Focus on the solution, not the problem. 2. Complaining is a garbage magnet. 3. What you focus on expands. 4. Do what you have always done, and you will get what you have always gotten. 5. Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides. 6. Success is simple, but not easy. 7. Don’t listen to your drunk monkey. 8. Clarity is power. 9. Don’t mistake movement for achievement. 10. Spontaneity is a conditioned reflex. 11. People will grow into the conversations you create around them. 12. How you participate here is how you participate everywhere. 13. Live your life by design, not by default.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “Critics of text-messaging are wrong to think it’s a regressive form of communication,” writes poet Lily Akerman. “It demands so much concision, subtlety, psychological art—in fact, it’s more like pulling puppet strings than writing.” I bring this thought to your attention, Taurus, because in my opinion the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to apply the metaphor of text-messaging to pretty much everything you do. You will create interesting ripples of success as you practice the crafts of concision, subtlety, and psychological art.

GEMINI May21–June20 During my careers as a writer and musician, many “experts” have advised me not to be so damn faithful to my muse. Having artistic integrity is a foolish indulgence that would ensure my eternal poverty, they have warned. If I want to be successful, I’ve got to sell out; I must water down my unique message and pay homage to the generic formulas favored by celebrity artists. Luckily for me, I have ignored the experts. As a result, my soul has thrived and I eventually earned enough money from my art to avoid starvation. But does my path apply to you? Maybe; maybe not. What if, in your case, it would be better to sell out a little and be, say, just 75 percent faithful to your muse? The next 12 months will be an excellent time for you to figure this out once and for all.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 My meditations have generated six metaphorical scenarios that will symbolize the contours of your life story during the next 15 months: 1. A claustrophobic tunnel that leads to a sparkling spa. 2. A 19th-century Victorian vase filled with 13 fresh wild orchids. 3. An immigrant who, after tenacious effort, receives a green card from her new home country. 4. An 11-year-old child capably playing a 315-year-old Stradivarius violin. 5. A menopausal empty-nester who falls in love with the work of an ecstatic poet. 6. A humble seeker who works hard to get the help necessary to defeat an old curse.

Joan Wasser is a Leo singer-songwriter who is known by her stage name Joan As Police Woman. In her song “The Magic,” she repeats one of the lyric lines 14 times: “I’m looking for the magic.” For two reasons, I propose that we make that your mantra in the coming weeks. First, practical business-as-usual will not provide the uncanny transformative power you need. Nor will rational analysis or habitual formulas. You will have to conjure, dig up, or track down some real magic. My second reason for suggesting “I’m looking for the magic” as your mantra is this: You’re not yet ripe enough to secure the magic, but you can become ripe enough by being dogged in your pursuit of it.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 No pressure, no diamond. No grit, no pearl. No cocoon, no butterfly. All these clichés will be featured themes for you during the next 12 months. But I hope you will also come up with fresher ways to think about the power and value that can be generated by tough assignments. If you face your exotic dilemmas and unprecedented riddles armed with nothing more than your culture’s platitudes, you won’t be able to tap into the untamed creativity necessary to turn problems into opportunities. Here’s an example of the kind of original thinking you’ll thrive on: The more the growing chamomile plant is trodden upon, the faster it grows.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The royal courts of Renaissance England often employed professional fools whose job it was to speak raw or controversial truths with comedic effect. According to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Queen Elizabeth I once castigated her fool for being “insufficiently severe with her.” The modern-day ombudsman has some similarities to the fool’s function. He or she is hired by an organization to investigate complaints lodged by the public against the organization. Now would be an excellent time for you to have a fool or ombudsman in your own sphere, Sagittarius. You’ve got a lot of good inklings, but some of them need to be edited, critiqued, or perhaps even satirized.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Capricorn journalist Katie Couric is a best-selling author who has interviewed five American presidents and had prominent jobs at three major TV networks. What’s her secret to success? She has testified that her goal is to be as ingratiating and charming as she can be without causing herself to throw up. I don’t often recommend this strategy for you, but I do now. The coming weeks will be a prime time for you to expand your web of connections and energize your relationships with existing allies by being almost too nice. To get what you want, use politeness as your secret weapon.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “The water cannot talk without the rocks,” says aphorist James Richardson. Does that sound like a metaphor you’d like to celebrate in the coming weeks? I hope so. From what I can tell, you will be like a clean, clear stream rippling over a rocky patch of river bed. The not-reallyall-that-bad news is that your flow may feel erratic and jerky. The really good news is that you will be inspired to speak freely, articulately, and with creative zing.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Renowned martial artist Bruce Lee described the opponent he was most wary of: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” In my astrological opinion, you should regard that as one of your keystone principles during the next 12 months. Your power and glory will come from honing one specific skill, not experimenting restlessly with many different skills. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to set your intention.

Every now and then you may benefit from being a bit juvenile, even childlike. You can release your dormant creativity by losing your adult composure and indulging in free-form play. In my astrological opinion, this is one of those phases for you. It’s high time to lose your cool in the best possible ways. You have a duty to explore the frontiers of spontaneity and indulge in I-don’t-give-a-cluck exuberance. For the sake of your peace-of-soul and your physical health, you need to wriggle free of at least some of your grown-up responsibilities so you can romp and cavort and frolic.

inches under the water, which can easily cause paddlers to fall into water. 6. There will be unknown risks to paddlers from stepping on debris when getting on or off a boat. Debris includes broken glass, used syringe needles, ceramic pieces, metal and other trash in the SLR channel and on its banks.

7. A blue-green algae bloom was detected on the SLR in the fall of 2015. This cyanobacterium can produce some toxins harmful to humans, which may be present before testing can detect them.

In addition to the listed hazards, if the need arises to get to shore for safety, a paddler will be faced with very limited options for finding a safe exit location. The full version of our report, with photos, can be found at http://foslrw. weebly.com/dangers-of-paddling.html.

Hospitality Guide Program, and other issues, at June’s City Hall to You event.

City Hall to You launches as governments shift their messaging and outreach BY MAT WEIR

he murmur of roughly 70 people filled the Museum of Art & History’s lobby on the evening of June 1, during the second of four Santa Cruz City Hall to You meetings, put on by city staffers. Colorful trifold cardboard displays and laminated posters lined the edges of the room, giving the new event a science fair feel. The newly launched program is an attempt by Santa Cruz City Hall to directly inform locals about what’s happening in their world and demonstrate how their community works. The who’s-who of Santa Cruz government included a Q&A

with Mayor Cynthia Mathews, councilmembers and directors from every major city department. Local institutions—from the police to the public libraries to the parking and water departments—were present at tables, with pamphlets to hand out, as well as some pretty useful advice. The Parking Enforcement Department, for instance, displayed a sign showing how to read downtown meters from “cheap” to “cheaper” to “cheapest.” (The ones with the red labels are “cheap,” and the green labels designate the “cheapest.”) After an hour of chatting, attendees sat down for an hour

presentation led by Vice Mayor Cynthia Chase on upcoming plans for the downtown area. “City Hall to You is just that,” explained Chase, who came up with the idea for the summit. “Our intention is to bring the city services to the community to answer your questions, talk about projects we have going on and let you know about initiatives that are happening.“ All this comes on the heels of a changing platform of how city and county governments are interacting with their communities. Leaders are going right to residents and reaching them in a way they never have before—posting on nextdoor. >14

When supporters of local ballot measures go door-to-door to distribute campaign materials, they’re trying to raise awareness and establish what the pundits call “likability” for their issue. But there’s likability, and then there’s likability. Just ask anyone visited by supporters of Measure S, the $67 million bond and parcel tax aimed at improving Santa Cruz libraries, in the run-up to the June 7 election. “People are always suspicious when they see someone walking up to their house,” says Casey Coonerty Protti, owner of Bookshop Santa Cruz, who took her two young children with her to walk local precincts in support of Measure S. “Then they see these little kids saying ‘Will you support the libraries?’ You can see their hearts melt immediately.” As the very last votes are counted, the passage of Measure S—officially, the Santa Cruz Libraries Community Facilities District Bond Issue and Parcel Tax—is all but in the books, with nearly 70 percent approval from local voters. What’s impressive about its victory is not just that it cleared the necessary twothirds majority, but how it did it. Its remarkably well-organized and executed campaign stands out in contrast to that of Measure Q, the $310 million bond for Cabrillo College that needed a smaller 55 percent majority to pass, but seemed mired in voter confusion over how and by whom funds would be spent—not to mention hobbled by an opposition whose most visible member was himself a Cabrillo faculty member. Receiving only 52 percent of the vote, Measure Q failed at the ballot box. Meanwhile, support for Measure S seemed to snowball, with a broad base of volunteers that ranged in age from kids like Protti’s to seniors, across income levels and also across the geographical landscape, since all 10 branches in the county stood to benefit and got the vote out in their own communities. “We had a whole bunch of hard workers and volunteers who did the phone banking and walked the precincts and a lot of other stuff,” says Santa Cruz Mayor Cynthia Mathews, who many credit with shepherding Measure S to victory. “And we got a really early start on endorsements, I think that was one of our strengths. In January, we started calling groups and getting on their agendas. We got every

WOULD YOU TAKE LIBRARIES AWAY FROM THIS CHILD? Devin Protti, son of Bookshop Santa Cruz owner Casey Coonerty Protti, was part of the strong network of

school board in the service area to endorse. We got children’s groups, we got seniors’ groups, we got business groups, we got labor groups. We had over 50 organizations.” So effective was the Yes on S education and outreach effort that the measure ended up with no organized opposition. But its network of support didn’t just materialize because of voter loyalty to libraries. It was won through months of hard work to bring out that loyalty, by explaining to basically anyone who would listen exactly what the libraries do for their constituents, what was in (sometimes dire) need of improvements in the system, and how exactly Measure S money would be spent to make those improvements. “We’re in small communities—you can go out and talk to all those groups. Go speak to the Aptos Rotary, or the Scotts Valley Chamber. It’s all time—you’ve got to call, you’ve got to get on their agenda, you’ve got to send someone,” says

Mathews. “But I think that really deep grassroots work was a big part of it. By the end of the talk, they’ve had their questions answered. That’s what you get from personal contact.” But what most distinguishes this tightly run and extremely economical campaign (it cost $65,000, of which $40,000 was donated by Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries) is the amount of preparation that went into it before Measure S was even drafted. Beginning in 2013 with the Facilities Master Plan that was drawn up with the future goal of a ballot measure like S in mind, Mathews and a core group of library staff and supporters began an extremely complicated process of getting the library system’s own house in order, as the existing Joint Powers Authority—the agreement through which the county and cities run the local library system— was set to expire in 2017. “We thought, ‘well there has to be a new Joint Powers Agreement and a new financing agreement,’” says Mathews. “If we’re going to go to the voters for money, the first thing they’re going to ask is ‘Who’s in charge of this thing?’ All

that had to be worked out simultaneously.” These were complications most ballot measure organizers never have to face, especially if they’re dealing with a tax measure in a single jurisdiction, and it took a couple of years just to hammer out. “It was dicey. It was very tricky,” says Mathews. “Let me just say it was a lot of negotiation. That was not really visible to the public. It was a lot of preparation. But it had to happen in order for there to be a strong campaign without a lot of extraneous issues or question marks.” In the end, the process also brought a unity to a campaign that supporters would rely on to win. “I think the challenge for us in bringing our campaign together at the beginning was seeing it as a system-wide campaign, and not just Felton getting their library, and Capitola getting their library, and Aptos getting theirs,” says Mathews. “We definitely had to solidify as a system-wide campaign, and we did it early on.” As news of the measure’s success spreads, other cities are beginning to take notice of what

the Measure S campaign accomplished here. “I’ve been called by other libraries asking how we did it,” says Janis O’Driscoll, who took over as interim director for the library system last year. She thinks the key is that the education effort reached back long before there was a tax measure to pitch. Because of that, the outreach became a genuine dialogue, she says. “Don’t talk to the community only when you want to ask them for something,” advises O’Driscoll. “We worked hard at making people understand what the library does for [them]. By the time I started going out when we had a specific ballot measure to talk about, they already knew what the library was about.” For Mathews, the key to passing a ballot measure like S is pulling together the most comprehensive effort possible. “Get together a team that combines experience and energy, because it’s a long slog, and you need different talents,” she says. Protti’s advice is way simpler. “If you want any measure to pass in Santa Cruz,” she says, “get Cynthia Mathews involved.”

It lets community members connect with officials on a personal level in their own neighborhood. “With the advent of social media, there has been talk [in the government] of more communication,” states Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager. “But it’s no substitute for a face-to-face interaction.” At the meeting, speakers included City Manager Martín Bernal, Parks and Recreation Director Mauro Garcia, and Economic Development Director Bonnie Lipscomb—each discussing future plans, along with dates of public meetings when the community can participate. They updated listeners on the Beach Flats mural project, affordable housing, the Santa Cruz Fiber Project, and downtown’s Hospitality Guide Program, which is soon to be replaced by park rangers, who will have the authority to issue tickets for minor infractions. “I think people struggle with government on accessibility, and on a certain level, trust,” Chase says. “So this was really an attempt to get out into the neighborhoods.” So far, the response, Collins says, has been positive. Each meeting is designed to target a specific area of the city, and this month’s event aimed to reach downtown, the beach-area and Harvey West residents. The third City Hall to You will be on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at the Peace United Church on High Street and will focus on the Westside. The fourth and final meeting of the year will take place on Dec. 7 at the Elks Lodge on Jewell Street and will focus on the Ocean Street/Upper Eastside area. The city also welcomes people from outside the designated area at each event. The next City Hall to You is at the Peace United Church at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31.

PUNX NOT DEAD The Deathless was born from the Dharma Punx, whose members celebrated the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th anniversary with a trip to India earlier this year. The Punx, left to right: Micah Anderson, Noah Levine, Joe Clements and Vinny Ferraro.

NIRVANA CALLING If one speaks or acts with a corrupt Mind, misery will follow, as the wheel Of a cart follows the foot of the ox … If one speaks or acts With a pure mind, happiness will follow. Like a shadow that never leaves. — THE BUDDHA DHAMMAPADA

WASTED YOUTH Born and raised in Santa Cruz, Levine spent most of his early years with his mother. His father, Buddhist teacher and author Stephen Levine (who is credited with helping bring Eastern religion and philosophy to the West in the 1960s, along with other notable teachers like Ram Dass) lived in New Mexico, where Noah would visit and spend a short time living. However, even at the tender age of 5 years old, it was apparent Levine was troubled.

BY MAT WEIR

“That was also the year I began stealing, at home, at school, and I even used to break into the neighbor’s house when they were away and eat their cookies,” he wrote in Dharma Punx. A few years later, he was smoking weed, and by age 10, taking magic mushrooms. That was also the year he would discover a lifelong love: punk rock. The raging message of anger and change appealed to his nihilistic side. “Punk is a critique,” says Levine. “It mostly points out what’s wrong, but there are people in the scene that are active with social and environmental issues.” During his troubled teenage years, Levine met many like-minded punks who would later become staples in the Santa Cruz scene. People like Clements, with whom he became instant friends. “Shit, I’ve known Noah for 30 years,” says Clements, who, besides singing in Fury 66 and now the Deathless, is also the founder of Compound Recording Studio. “I know that guy inside and out.” By the time Levine was 17, he had been in and out of Juvenile Hall enough times to want to make a change. In fact, it was in Santa Cruz County Juvenile Hall that he finally decided to listen to the advice of his father and take up meditation. “Desperation led me to meditating and going to 12-step programs,” he remembers. “It made me realize I am responsible for my own actions and karma, which led me to change the relationship with my mind and body. It was an internal revolution.” Throughout his 20s, Levine admits that he still struggled with the law, and with quieting the negative thoughts in his head.

s the hot Los Angeles sun beats down from above, Noah Levine takes a sip from an iced tea. He wipes his freshly shaved head and looks around the cafe at the other patrons staring in his direction. The tall, muscular Santa Cruz native definitely commands attention, from his black shades to his colorfully elaborate tattoos that stretch from neck to toe. He looks like trouble. Probably no one in the cafe would guess that Levine is the founder of a Buddhist meditation society, Against The Stream. With locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Against The Stream holds daily meditation and dharma education classes from which no one is turned away

(donations are accepted to help pay for the space and the teachers, but are not required). It also works in conjunction with his Refuge Recovery rehab program. “We’re going against greed, hatred and delusion,” says Levine. “And everyone is welcome.” Levine is best known as the author of 2004’s Dharma Punx, named after the group of friends who would change Levine’s life and bring a radically atypical world view to the punk subculture. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Dharma Punx, which they memorialized with a trip to India earlier this year. More recently, however, Levine has partnered with another Santa Cruz native, Joe Clements—a local punk icon himself, thanks to his ’90s hardcore band Fury 66, which, while it may be remembered everywhere else merely because it shared bandmembers with breakout success story Good Riddance, had a huge impact on the scene at home. Together, the pair have formed the Deathless—the world’s first Buddhist punk band.

During that time, he continued the path of the dharma, quickly influencing many of his peers in the community. The Straight Edge punk movement was in full swing and helped him communicate the principles of sober living to friends with whom he formerly got high. In 1996, Levine began holding informal meditation classes in his living room with Clements, Vinny Ferraro and Micah Anderson. Thus the Dharma Punx were born, even if not everyone was ready. “I’d be so bored I’d start pillow fights, or punch my friends,” says Clements of the early Dharma Punx meetings. “I was still searching for things outside of myself to fix me.”

CHAKRA ROCK All of this begs a reasonable

question: How can a youth culture and music movement known for cynicism and anarchy fit with a 2,500-year-old religious philosophy that preaches love, compassion and understanding? For that answer, it’s best to return to the original Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. “He was an anarchist of his time, if you think about it,” says Clements. “He went against everything [his culture] was saying. Like punk, he wasn’t believing the lies.” Legend says that when Gautama was born, sages predicted he would either be a great spiritual teacher or warrior king. His royal parents wanted him to ascend to the throne, and lavished him with every luxury available. It wasn’t until his 30s that Gautama learned that the world is filled with suffering—nobody

“He was an anarchist of his time, if you think about it,” says Clements of the original Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. “He went against everything [his culture] was saying. Like punk, he wasn’t believing the lies.”

BEYOND 12-STEP While its roots stretch to Levine’s Santa Cruz days, along with his Mind Body Awareness project that brings meditation and Buddhist practice to juvenile halls, his Against The Stream Buddhist Meditation Society officially began in 2007 after the publishing of Levine’s book of the same name. With daily classes in Los Angeles and San Francisco, ATS boasts 16 different teachers and facilitators in its roster, including

original Dharma Punk Vinny Ferraro, who teaches at the San Francisco location. “Through meditation I’ve learned not to take the mind so personally,” Clements enthusiastically claims. “‘Thoughts are just thoughts.’ I stole that from Vinny, and it’s so true. I can bring them to life, or just let them go.” June marks the second anniversary of Levine’s latest book, Refuge Recovery, a nontheistic, Buddhist-based sobriety manuscript. After it was published, Levine received so much feedback and so many questions about it that he quickly started the Refuge Recovery program, where patrons seeking sobriety and peace can meet with licensed therapists to work through their addictions. Certain facilities, like the one in L.A., even include nearby housing for patrons who worry they’ll use again without 24-hour support. The non-12-step program’s message resonated with so many people that there are now more than 200 meetings throughout the United States. Even punk rock celebrities have gone through the program to control their substance abuse, like Fat Mike from NoFX, who recently documented his stay via Instagram. While it provides an alternative to traditional substance abuse programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, Refuge Recovery counselors emphasize they are not in competition with them. “I try to be an ally for AA,” explains Smith, who also founded the Nashville chapter of Refuge Recovery. “We want people to do both [if they want]. You don’t have to make a choice, whatever works for you.” “But we step out and say, ‘This will totally work, too,’” emphasizes Levine.

escapes sickness or death—and searched for an alternative path. He renounced his material possessions, and attempted several failed spiritual awakenings with his culture’s leading religions. Legend has it, when he finally meditated for days beneath a Bodhi tree, Gautama realized the only escape from suffering is through detachment, and thus became the Buddha (or “Awakened One”). He would dedicate the rest of his life to teaching students the dharma (“truth”) of life, and that only through their own actions (“karma”) could they find happiness. “Through mindfulness, you see everything is impermanent,” Levine explains. “Everything changes, and if you cling to things that change, you’ll experience stress and suffering.” Dave Smith, a student of Levine who now teaches at Against The Stream (ATS) and works as a counselor at the L.A. Refuge Recovery, says Buddhism subverts the dominant view of spirituality. “Buddhism rejects salvation,” he says. “Not only is external salvation not there, but the idea is a trap. [Buddhism] is about self-awareness. It’s an internal process that doesn’t fit comfortably in the world’s stage of religions.”

In Levine and Clements’ view, combining Buddhist philosophy with a counterculture movement that rejects its dominant paradigm makes perfect sense. So perhaps it was inevitable that they would come up with the idea to combine their love for punk with their spiritual path, as they did at an Esalen Buddhist retreat in 2014. “We had been talking about our favorite Krishnacore bands like 108 and Shelter,” Levine recalls. “And Joe said ‘Let’s do a Buddhist band.’” “Noah said, ‘Fuck yeah, but I can’t sing and I don’t play anything,’” says Clements. “So I told him I’d do it, and he just needed to write the lyrics.” After throwing around a few other Buddhist concepts for a name, they christened the new project the Deathless. “It points to that part of you that becomes enlightened and stops the process of rebirth and reincarnation,” Levine says of the name. “Plus, it’s punk rock.” Clements soon recruited Felix Lozano on guitar, Cory Atkinson on bass and Robert Scobie on drums. Each musician was a prominent member of the local punk community, with Lozano and Atkinson both from the infamous Watsonville band Los Dryheavers, and Scobie from Abhorrence. All had known Clements or Levine for years, recording at the Compound or releasing music through Clements’ label Lorelei Records. “I was a big fan of Fury 66. Joe and Mickey [Dunegan] were great with the kids and made us feel a part [of the show],” remembers Lozano. “And I say ‘kids’ because that’s what we were!” Atkinson immediately had a good feeling about the new project. “It sounded like what I was looking for,” he says. “Get together with friends to play music and maybe a couple of shows.” In September of 2015, the band released their debut EP, The Gates to the Deathless are Open, on local label Chapter 11 Records. The six-song CD (or seven-inch vinyl record) is an onslaught of brutal ’80s hardcore— complete with gang vocals, heavy

beats and buzzsaw guitar riffs—set to insightful lyrics like “Be right, right now” and “We’re all perfect in our imperfections.” On a more personal track, “1985,” Levine and Clements recall their meeting and personal struggles with drugs and alcohol growing up. The EP ends with a spoken word teaching by Levine set to background music by the band. “Punk has always been against the norm,” explains Clements. “We can be the change, but it starts from within. It begins with a change in our heart and mind, then has a ripple effect. That’s what punk has always talked about.” Though the band is guided by Buddhist principles, actually being a Buddhist isn’t a requirement for playing in the Deathless. “I’m not really into dharma,” Atkinson admits. “But things like ‘be a good person’ and ‘don’t over consume’ are good ideas I wish everyone shared.” “And learning to just let go,” adds Lozano. “Let go of whatever routine you’re used to and whatever comes of it, comes of it. Enjoy life.” With a second guitarist, Matt Spady, recently added to the lineup, the band plans to hit the studio in July to record their new EP, this time a split with Oxnard punks Stop Breathing. While they have no current plans to tour, the Deathless will be playing the Second Annual Refuge Recovery Conference Party at the Against The Stream meditation center in Los Angeles on June 25. “We’re talking about doing more shows in Dharma centers, but nothing is planned,” Levine says.

I WANNA BE ELATED This year has been bittersweet for Levine. Recently divorced, his spiritual teacher and father Stephen Levine passed away in January. Stephen authored dozens of books in his life—many on the acceptance of death and dying—including bestsellers A Gradual Awakening and A Year To Live: How To Live This Year As If It Were Your Last. In his last conversation with his father, Levine told him, “Dad, I love you so much. I appreciate you and thank you for

was pretty intense.” “There’s a dichotomy between Eastern and Western cultures,” says Levine. “Here I am in my $50shoes, and that’s more than some of the people I’m talking to make in a month.” It’s introspective moments like these that reminded the old friends why they were there, through a 20-year lens of awakening. “It was an awesome chance to hang out with my friends and talk about our journeys,” Clements concludes. “[This trip] was much more about spending time with my friends,” agrees Levine. “It was definitely a reflective time.” It’s obvious that friendship and community are important factors in Levine and Clements’ lives. The Buddhists term it “sangha.” The punks called it a scene. And it is the core of the Buddha’s teaching that continues to drive Levine to help addicts become sober and inspire in others a more compassionate approach to their world and their own mind. “It’s only in the here and now that you can choose how you’ll respond to what happens,” Levine teaches. “If you’re mindful, you can choose to meet pain with compassion. It’s the only time you have free will, because it’s the only time you have a choice. The here and now.”

everything,” concluding with, “Safe travels.” “He was a teacher, father and mentor … but I grew up normalizing death and dying and impermanence,” Levine says. “So in a way, he prepared me my whole life for his death.” But this year has also brought elation, closer friendships and new memories. In March, the original Dharma Punx decided to travel to India to mark their double decade anniversary. For Levine, Ferraro and Anderson, it also marked a symbolic return to their past as all three previously traveled to India for the first time in the 1990s, as documented in Dharma Punx. For Clements, this was his first trip, and one not easily forgotten. “I went with an open mind and an open heart,” he exclaims. “ It was awesome and way too short.” The four traveled together for two weeks, visiting places like New Delhi and Varanasi, along the Ganges River. The latter is home to some of Hinduism’s holiest sites, such as the Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat, where modernday practitioners still cremate their dead. Down the river, many of Varanasi’s impoverished search the water for jewelry or gold teeth. “We watched the gas fire and a funeral where they burned the bodies,” Clements says solemnly. “It

“I was also surprised by all the thought that’s gone into submarine escape. There used to be no way out. If your sub went down, you were done—until one guy said, ‘let’s do something about it.’” - MARY ROACH tricky. And I said to myself, “one day I will tell this story.” You must have countless stories and scientific gems floating around in your head. I do. The challenge is figuring out how to wrap a book around them. The finished product usually bears little resemblance to the book proposal. How did you become interested in the science of war? I was reporting about the world’s hottest chili pepper and I found out that the Indian Defense Ministry had made a sort of homegrown pepper bomb for dispersing crowds, so I went to the lab, and there I started to realize that military science was pretty esoteric in ways I hadn’t realized. Also, around that time I was corresponding with a retired army pathologist who opened doors for me that led to other doors.

What surprised you in researching this book? Things like the extent of hearing loss. Anyone in artillery or special ops knows they’re going to lose a significant portion of their hearing. And I didn’t see the value of maggot

What are the most impactful advances you came across? There’s a lot in emergency trauma care. The survival rates are pretty amazing now. They’ve got hospitals closer to the front, care in the air, flying operating rooms. There’s buddy care and tourniquets you can put on yourself with one hand, because that’s the number one killer, loss of blood. What touched you the most in your conversations with military personnel? Talking to an army captain who told me the story of stepping on the pressure plate that triggered an IED. It sure put things in perspective. I don’t have friends or family in the military, so I’ve never really spent time thinking about the horror of watching not just your leg, but your life be shattered in a split second. That was new to me, and intense. You don’t know what to say. I think that’s why it’s so hard for vets to readjust when they come home. They’re coming back to people who are sympathetic, but you can’t be empathetic in the same way unless you’ve been through it. Mary Roach will read from and discuss her new book at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 24, at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.

It sounds like serendipity fueled your research. Exactly. At the morgue, they told me about the WIAMan project—which had to do with creating crash-test dummies to better understand underbody blasts. Then I heard about penis transplants through the surgeon who does reconstruction work, and he told me about cadaver transplant work. I don’t do a lot of advance planning for my books. It’s a little unnerving, but it’s taken me to interesting places.

If your sub went down, you were done—until one guy said, ‘let’s do something about it’, so they designed an escape trunk, figured out how to equalize the pressure so the hatch could be opened, and created this little suit that has a small air supply so you can get to the surface. There it turns into a raft.

MUSIC

HIS MIND IS BLANK Matt Adams (center) is the prolific creative force behind the Blank Tapes, who play the Catalyst Atrium on Thursday, June 23.

JUNE 22-28, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Blank Generation

Does anyone write more songs than the Blank Tapes’ Matt Adams? BY AARON CARNES

att Adams, the man behind the Blank Tapes, has written more than a hundred songs in the past couple of years alone. That’s not really anything spectacular for him. Since he started making music under the Blank Tapes moniker a decade ago with just a lo-fi 8-track tape recorder, he’s had more music pouring out of him than he knows what to do with. The only difference is that in the beginning, he would just release everything, ending up with gigantic

scatterbrain double albums with songs spanning folk, rock, surf, psychedelic and other genres. Nowadays, he says he tries to pull back a little bit. “Songs keep coming. It’s kind of like a faucet. Sometimes I have to turn it off so I can record the songs I already have written, ’cause I get too stockpiled,” Adams says. He is currently touring in support of a new album, Ojos Rojos, which was released in May. The songs are ultracatchy surf-pop and psych-rock. The album was actually recorded back in 2013 and 2014, but he does so much

writing that a backlog of a couple of years is not unusual. He’s already got three more projects in the queue to be released. One was recorded a couple of years ago up in Portland with friend Eric D Johnson of the Fruit Bats and the Shins. Johnson pushed Adams’ tunes into a spaced-out direction. Adams has also been recording some material in Texas with a different friend. And another he recorded down in Joshua Tree with a full band, a kind of cosmic country album. “I like to think about every album

like a project and a set of songs that are chosen because of whoever is involved. Most of my early stuff was very isolated. Nowadays I like to collaborate more,” Adams says. Before he started the Blank Tapes, he recorded music on his computer like everyone else, but got infatuated with lo-fi analog recording, and wanted to build the project around that—hence the name. The first two albums were selfreleased. As all-over-the-map as they were, there was always a focus on styles and sounds stemming from the ’60s. “I grew up in the ’90s, but I didn’t really connect with it as much. The ’60s, as soon as I was turned on to music of that era, there was no turning back. It’s still my favorite era of music. It definitely shaped the way I write songs,” Adams says. When labels started working with him, he thought he owed it to them to edit these little chaotic lo-fi White Album-esque records into shorter and more cohesive packages. A critical moment for Adams was 2013’s Vacation. At a producer’s urging, he utilized some digital overdubs, something he hadn’t done since the inception of the band almost a decade earlier. And he found that it didn’t really comprise his sound. “Honestly, at this point, analog and digital is irrelevant to me. The most important thing nowadays is to record the songs and make sure the recordings sound good. I’ve recorded so many lo-fi cassette tape albums I never want to do that again. I just want a good recording,” he says. As he releases new albums, Adams continues to write more music, or in some cases piece together little fragments of songs he wrote years ago. He claims that some of his tunes he started when he was 10, but only recently put together. “I have a good memory. I can remember almost all of the melodies I’ve ever written. But if you were to introduce me to your friends, the next day I might forget all their names,” Adams says. “They float around in my head, and then eventually I’ll be sitting on the beach and I’ll be like, ‘oh I think I have an idea for this.’ Voilà! There’s a song.” INFO: 8:30 p.m. June 23, Catalyst Atrium,

LOCAL BAND

JEFF BLACKBURN Jeff Blackburn has been a stalwart of the Santa Cruz music scene since the late ’60s, when he hitchhiked to the area from Bakersfield. After a few months as a Cabrillo student, the 19-year-old Blackburn, aka “Buck,” took off.

JUNE 22-28, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I told my professors, ‘I just haven’t done enough livin’,” Blackburn says. “Every weekend was spent going up to the city to hear music, following the scene wherever it was happening. That’s about the time the Barn in Scotts Valley was getting started, Neal Cassady and the Pranksters were hanging around, the Avalon and the Fillmore were opening up, and a lot of friends that I had met on the road were in San Jose. Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Dead, the Doobie Brothers were all San Jose players, and they were all folk musicians, basically, before it evolved into the rock scene.”

Buck’s long list of friends and stories of San Francisco’s golden age are extensive. “Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & The Fish, Chet Helms … I could go on. I’ve got a lot of stories,” he says. “But bottom line is, I took off and got a lot of experience—just like I’d planned.” Buck would go on to tour with Moby Grape before spending the summer of ’77 in Santa Cruz, playing in the Ducks; a lineup that boasted Neil Young on guitar and “the best rhythm section in recorded history,” as he calls them—Bob Mosley on bass and Johnny Craviotto on drums. Buck’s been faithful to folk ever since, performing his own carefully crafted Americana originals with a rotating cast of local musicians. After more than 50 years playing music, Buck says he’s still learning, and is happy to call Santa Cruz home: “This place has a magical magnetism that always draws you back.” KATIE SMALL Info: 7:30 p.m., June 29, Crow’s Nest, $3.

DAYAN KAI For years, Dayan Kai was one of Santa Cruz’s most beloved musicians—a multi-instrumentalist who could play pretty much anything he got his hands on, and a kind-hearted human who cared deeply about making the world a better place. Several years ago, Kai left the area for the Hawaiian Islands, leaving his local fan base wanting more. On Wednesday, he brings his unique blend of Americana, world music, jazz and rock to Don Quixote’s for a rare homecoming show.

Known to pull from the likes of Cole Porter, Leonard Cohen, Duke Ellington and Nellie McKay, the members of Duchess—Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner, and Melissa Stylianou—choose songs that speak to their unique musical sensibilities. On its self-titled debut album, the New York-based trio pays tribute to legendary vocal group the Boswell Sisters.

FRIDAY 6/24 BLUES

BIG JON ATKINSON Big Jon Atkinson was born in 1988, by which point the blues had long been considered old-timey music by the mainstream. Yet Atkinson may very well be one of the most talented blues players on the scene today. He’s not only gotten the stamp of approval from some of the genre’s veterans, like Kim Wilson, they’re actually clamoring to work with him. Atkinson captures the soul of authentic blues music, but breathes new life into it in a way most young players are unable to do.

CASKET GIRLS Ryan Graveface, who runs small indie Graveface Records, fell in love with Casket Girls, and had to put their record out. He’d been working with sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene for a little while, when one day he went to their house and found them singing weird songs under the tree in their Georgian yard. They were weeping, reciting poetry and just freaking out. When he heard the demo they’d made under these circumstances it blew his mind. It was incredibly emotive, eerie and catatonic indie-pop.

JOHN PATITUCCI ELECTRIC GUITAR QUARTET John Patitucci has thrived for more than three decades as one of jazz’s most commanding bassists. Equally jaw-dropping on the six-string electric and acoustic double bass, he’s attained legendary status as a studio ace and astonishing improviser. He gained fame by simultaneously anchoring Chick Corea’s Akoustic and Elektric Bands, and for the past decade has provided a cohesive presence amid the churning maelstrom of Wayne Shorter’s celebrated quartet. He’s also recorded a dozen albums focusing on his own compositions. Featured on his recent album Brooklyn (Three Faces Records), his Electric Guitar Quartet is a quietly volatile chamber jazz ensemble featur-

3 LEG TORSO Though you might have not heard of Portland five-piece 3 Leg Torso, you’ve likely heard their music in movies or on TV—they have a very cinematic sound, and filmmakers know it. Originally a trio, they wanted to create modern chamber music with a violin, cello and an accordion. As a five-piece, the instrumentation expanded to xylophone, French horn, and other chamber instruments. While this music might appeal to classical music fans, the influences they draw from (Latin, Klezmer, tango) give them a much broader appeal, and fits in nicely at a venue like Don Quixote’s.

The younger brother of legendary rock guitarist Carlos Santana, Jorge Santana is a multi-faceted artist in his own right. He credits Carlos with exposing him to a wide variety of styles and experiences, and laying the foundation for his own guitar style, which led to membership in the Latin rock group Malo, the Fania All-Stars, and work with numerous other artists. Born in Autlan, Jalisco, Mexico, and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District, Santana is another fantastic representative of the Santana musical legacy and the Bay Area classic rock scene.

FILM

WILD HORSE Jan and Brian Vokes of Wales, with their racehorse Dream Alliance, in the documentary ‘Dark Horse.’

Unbridled Affection JUNE 22-28, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Working-class horse triumphs in crowd-pleasing documentary ‘Dark Horse’ BY LISA JENSEN

ho says fairy tales are just for princesses? If you want magic, see Dark Horse, an accomplished, crowd-pleasing documentary about the workingclass denizens of a tiny Welsh mining community that chips in to breed a racehorse to compete against thoroughbreds in the Sport of Kings. But, more than magic, this story is about hard work, high spirits, determination, and sheer chutzpah— on the part of the villagers, and especially the unorthodox horse they raise into a champion. Yes, it’s a Cinderella story about a plucky pony that could. But

documentary filmmaker Louise Osmond has directed taut films about yacht racing (Deep Water), and mountain-climbing (The Beckoning Silence), and keeps us on edge. We never know what the outcome of each race will be, nor are we prepared for the many unexpected bumps along the road. The tale begins in 2000, in a mining village in Wales. After the mining pits close down, and the locals are in transition, a barmaid named Jan Vokes gets a wild idea. One night, one of her customers, Howard Davies, a tax accountant, is regaling the house with the story of the time he helped a client set up a horse-racing syndicate.

Right there, Jan decides she’s going to breed a racehorse. Well, why not? Her father, we learn, bred “show budgies” (parakeets) when she was a child, and she won some prizes as a teen raising greyhounds. So Jan, a delightful storyteller with a twinkle in her eye, decides to move into the racehorse field by starting her own “syndicate” of villagers and pub regulars. Anyone interested in joining in for 10 pounds a week is instructed to “see Jan at the bar.” Some 30 locals sign on, and their initial investment goes toward the purchase of a brood mare. Soon enough, the mare is

pregnant; we see her birth the foal in a charming black-andwhite home movie sequence. He’s a tall, gawky creature with white socks on his spindly legs that Jan and her husband, Brian, keep in a ramshackle shed next to the chickens in their yard. When the syndicate gathers at the pub over their pints to name the animal, they all acknowledge that he’s “Jan’s dream,” and in a moment of solidarity among the co-owners, they name their horse “Dream Alliance.” Dream is packed off to board with a professional trainer (Jan likens it to sending a child off to boarding school), to see if he has any skill or inclination for racing. But, after a respectable showing in his first few outings, he wins his fourth meet, and—against all odds—his professional career is underway. (“Slumnag Millionaire,” screams one racing-form headline.) Dream continues to run—and win—in ever more prestigious races, defying the oddsmakers, shocking the “landed gentry,” for whom horseracing has always been an exclusive club, and winning the hearts of the public for this “working-class horse” with the undistinguished pedigree. Of the traditional racing elite—men in three-piece suits, ladies in extreme hats—Jan smiles devilishly. “Those sorts of people like to keep us commoners out, I think.” There are plenty of dark moments in Dream’s career, rendered with nail-biting suspense by filmmaker Osmond—particularly as the races get bigger and the courses more dangerous. But the movie never loses its humor, or its heart. (When Dream goes through a slump, Jan shrugs it off. “He was a Welsh boy ... quirky.”) Win or lose, we get a strong sense of the unbridled affection Jan, Brian, Howard, and all the villagers feel for Dream himself—fueling the choices they make on his behalf. In a milieu where horses are “an industry,” the locals consider Dream “one of the family,” making Dark Horse much more of a love story than a sports doc. DARK HORSE *** (out of four) Written and directed by Louise Osmond. A Sony Classics release. Rated PG. 85 minutes.

MASTER

FILM NEW THIS WEEK FREE STATE OF JONES Inspired by the life of Newton Knight, this film features Matthew McConaughey as the Mississippi farmer who led a gang of rebels against the Confederate Army and declared Jones County a free, mixed-race community. Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mahershala Ali co-star. (R) 139 minutes. GENIUS Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney— oh my! Jude’s southern accent though … Michael Grandage directs. (PG-13) 104 minutes. INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Twenty years after Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum fought off the invading aliens, the galactic bullies are back and, with 11 writers on this sequel and a $200-million budget for special effects, it’s theoretically bigger than ever. Buckle up: “she has arrived.” Roland Emmerich directs. Liam Hemsworth co-stars. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

JUNE 22-28, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE NEON DEMON Art-horror with a disturbing take on the modeling industry, from the director of Drive. Nicolas Winding Refn directs. Elle Fanning, Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves co-star. (R) 117 minutes.

THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks. That’s a joke. Still, an updating of way-out-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably inevitable. Jaume Collet-Serra directs. Óscar Jaenada and Brett Cullen co-star. (PG-13) 87 minutes. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM. ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Oh gee, a freethinking

woman who’s been diagnosed with “female hysteria” for defying the societal standards of her time— where have we heard this before? Lewis Carroll was so before his time, and in this adaptation Alice seeks not only to save her friends, but also finds herself in a battle against Time himself. Helena Bonham Carter looks smashing, as always, and Sacha Baron Cohen plays Time. While it might be mildly terrifying for children, and Tim Burton isn’t directing this one, for a colorful fantasy and fantastic story, how could you stay away? James Bobin directs. Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp co-star. (PG) 113 minutes. ANGRY BIRDS While we may have thought that an entire movie based on a popular game would be really, really stupid, this one looks fairly inventive and maybe somewhat hilarious—also, OMG, these characters are adorable. Red is the angriest of the birds, although he won’t admit he has an anger problem (even when he accidentally kicks a baby bird instead of the intended soccer ball). He’s misunderstood, and no one pays attention to his mistrust of the strange and mysterious pigs who arrive on their shores—until they steal all the eggs. Clay Kaytis, Fergal Reilly direct. Peter Dinklage, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon costar. (PG) 97 minutes. CAPTAIN AMERICA: A bunch of superheroes! Captain America and Iron Man fight! Marvel things! Anthony Russo, Joe Russo direct. Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson co-star. (PG13) 146 minutes. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE An overweight high-school kid with braces singing “Never Gonna Get It” grows into the Rock we all know and love (he saves puppies in real life, guys), who’s joined the CIA. Poor Kevin Hart keeps ending up in long, involved car rides where the driver is way better equipped to handle the situation than he is. Rawson Marshall Thurber directs. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danielle Nicolet co-star. (PG-13) 114 minutes. THE CONJURING 2 Lorraine and

Ed, crosses turning upside down, murder, suicide, both, whatever. We can’t tell you what the first one was about because certain film blurb writers are too afraid of scary movies to watch them with the sound on—or, like, at all. But, chances are that if you’re up for watching the second one you probably liked the first one and IMDB gives it 9.1 stars out of ten, so those are all good signs for fans of horror films and paranormal investigators. James Wan directs. Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Madison Wolfe co-star. (R) 143 minutes. DARK HORSE Reviewed this issue. (PG) 85 minutes. FINDING DORY There are no words, only happy squeals of joy. Now go find that fish! Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane direct. Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill co-star. (PG) 103 minutes. THE JUNGLE BOOK Did anyone think just how terrifying a liveaction version of The Jungle Book would be when they saw the 1967 Disney classic (and no, the 1994 version doesn’t count even if Westley from The Princess Bride was in it)? All adults are invited to be equally excited for this fantastic reinterpretation brought to life with newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli and the various jungle animals voiced by Hollywood heavy-hitters Billy Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, and Scarlett Johansson. Jon Favreau directs. (PG) 105 minutes. THE LOBSTER The first thing that Colin Farrell hears upon arriving at the City is, “If you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here, you’ll turn into an animal.” It’s not a joke. Who knew someone could so expertly and macabrely reinvent the romantic comedy? It’s been called the year’s most original movie, and with Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz, John C.Reilly and Léa Seydoux as players in this not-sodistant dystopian future—where singles are given only 45 days to fall in love, or are turned into animals—that sounds about right. Yorgos Lanthimos directs. Jessica Barden co-stars. (R) 118 minutes.

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP “How jolly, tiny green balls—what are they called?” “Peas.” Oh, Jane Austen, this is going to be fun. Whit Stillman directs. Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, and Xavier Samuel co-star. (PG) 92 minutes. MAGGIE’S PLAN Maggie meets John. John’s wife is a crazy. Maggie falls in love with John. Then she falls out of love with John. “Too bad you can’t give him back to his ex-wife”... Maggie has a plan: set John back up with his crazy exwife. Rebecca Miller directs. Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore co-star. (R) 98 minutes. ME BEFORE YOU Well, she’s no khaleesi in this one, but Emilia Clarke smiles more, wears goofier get-ups and her eyebrows are expressive enough for a cinematic experience all of their own. Don’t even try to stem the waterworks here folks; beautiful people in castles, a brooding half-paralyzed former prince (Or was that a different movie? He’s a Disney prince, right?) falling in love but he’s still brooding over sad things. Everyone is going to be bawling—we already are and we only watched the trailer. Thea Sharrock directs. Sam Claflin and Janet McTeer co-star. (PG-13) 110 minutes. NEIGHBORS 2 The neighbors are back, and this time they’re up against a bunch of shrewd sorority sisters. Plus, more ridiculous antics, terrifying drugs, crazy plots and shots of Zac Efron shirtless. Nicholas Stoller directs. Chloë Grace Moretz, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne co-star. (R) 92 minutes. NOW YOU SEE ME 2 Well, the tricks are convincing and so is the music, so we’ve got a cautious excitement for the return of “The Four Horsemen” (does anyone else think that’s a dumb name for a bunch of Vegas magicians?) with a cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan and … wait for it … Daniel Radcliffe? Jon M. Chu directs. (PG13) 129 minutes. POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER

STOPPING Andy Samberg vs. Seal. Need we say more? Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone direct. Imogen Poots and Bill Hader costar. (R) 86 minutes. THE NICE GUYS Ryan Gosling as a bumbling, crass detective with a God complex, and a shameless, greasy Russell Crowe to keep him in check—with all the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll of a mob-infested 1970s Los Angeles. These gentlemen have never looked better. Shane Black directs. Angourie Rice co-stars. (R) 116 minutes. WARCRAFT Oh, hey, a movie based on a video game that looks a lot like a video game. Duncan Jones directs. Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster co-star. (PG-13) 123 minutes. WEINER He was the man who was fighting for the little guy, and then his, erm, little guy got the best of him. This documentary is the story of how Anthony Weiner tried to overcome a career-ending embarrassment and the hilarious, often painful ways in which he forged through the final death sputterings of a disastrous mayoral campaign. Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg direct. Huma Abedin, Amit Bagga, Adam S. Barta co-star. (R) 96 minutes. X-MEN: THE APOCALYPSE Finally, James McAvoy goes bald. Oh, and literally everyone else is in this movie, too. Those special effects do look pretty cool, but 144 minutes? Comic-book movies these days should come with intermissions. Bryan Singer directs. Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence co-star. (PG-13) 144 minutes. ZOOTOPIA Thank goodness it’s become OK for adults to watch kids’ movies (it has, right?). We’d gladly take a cunning bunny cop with her fox informant trying to uncover a conspiracy in a city of adorable animated animals than watch Gerard Butler do … well, anything, really. Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush direct. Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba co-star. (PG) 108 minutes.

NOTES FROM THE GLUTEN-FREE TRAIL

Mission Maki

Favorite sushi delights at Totoro, plus UCSC rolls out its produce cart for summer BY CHRISTINA WATERS

es, sushi and reggae are a marriage made in sensory heaven, as the fusion sushi chefs of Sushi Totoro know full well. Listening to Bob Marley last week, we found ourselves infused with sinus-clearing horseradishintensive dishes. Our favorite dinner at Totoro invariably runs like this: always the Tekka Maki with shiso leaf (the latter is graced with a peppery clean flavor that contrasts nicely with the rich,

sweet tuna). Then we might add a member of the nigiri family. I have recently moved past the maguro into the celestial domain of hamachi nigiri—sticky rice delivering satiny yellowtail. A reason to live. Then my companion likes to add one of Totoro’s important rolls. Perhaps the “Youngster,” filled with spicy tuna and crunchy macadamia. Or, my favorite, the Futomaki loaded with pickled daikon and carrot, mushroom, egg and cucumber. “One World” rocks us through the

entire meal. Sushi Totoro is on our permanent summertime menu. 1701 Mission St., Santa Cruz.

GARDEN’S READY The UCSC Farm and Garden’s organic produce market cart is a welcome sight at the foot of the campus, open every Tuesday and Friday afternoons all summer long. From noon until 6 p.m., the shaded cart offers an array of freshly picked fruits and vegetables grown just up the hill at the UCSC Farm and Garden. This week the cart seduced me into buying a

I admit that it can be a challenge to do without bread, at least for a while. But once we got the hang of going gluten-free we found that we had lost “that stubborn belly fat,” as the commercials say, and experienced absolutely no indigestion—no matter what else we ate. So we’ve made the quest for tasty gluten-free bread substitutes something of a game. Our latest favorites are two crackers that make perfect companions for cheeses. One is the just-plain-delicious hexagonal MultiSeed Crackers from Crunchmaster. For around $4 a bag, we plow through bagfuls of these crunchy creations of sesame, quinoa, flax and amaranth seeds. A great snack, it’s also a respectable companion for dips, spreads and any other topping on the planet. The newest member in our gluten-free arsenal is the organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan (whew), very crunchy cracker from the charmingly named Mary's Gone Crackers. For around $5 a box these babies look sophisticated and taste delicious. Available at New Leaf, Shopper’s Corner, Whole Foods, etc.

APPETIZER OF THE WEEK

At an Assembly birthday dinner for painter Noah Buchanan last week, we wrapped our mouths around one of the sensory wonders of the local culinary world: the Scotch olive ($7). The word “flavor” just isn’t good enough for the explosion of tart, salty crunch, and toothsome texture delivered by these breaded, deep-fried Castelvetrano olives. I chased mine with a glass of gossamer, intricate Spanish Godello by A Coroa 2014, from Assembly’s inventive libation list.

Bouchees

Capitola sandwich spot delivers big taste in bite sizes BY AARON CARNES

Send a link from our new site:

JUNE 22-28, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GoodTimes.SC

here are a lot of exceptional sandwich spots around Santa Cruz, but everything is always so big. And don’t get me started on desserts. Do you really have room for an 800-calorie slice of cake after a massive tuna melt? Fret not, Bouchees’ menu features bite-sized versions of everything. Helmut John Fritz, who also owns Davenport Roadhouse, explains how he hopes to bring a healthy amount of Europe to Capitola by the Sea.

What does the name mean? HELMUT JOHN FRITZ: Bouchees is a French word for “mouthful or bite.” What we believe is that it’s not the size or the quantity, it’s the quality. I was born in Austria. I lived in France, England and Scandinavia. It’s all about the tastes. When you sit down in England for tea sandwiches, you get some scones and maybe some salmon or cucumber sandwiches. You can try different items so you don’t have to commit to a huge sandwich or a huge apple pie when there’s a pecan tart, or there’s a fruit tart. We also have key lime tart. When you want to try all of that, you don’t necessarily want to commit to a huge portion.

You say your café is ‘Europeaninspired.’ What does that mean? Capitola has the feel of a European beach town. We call it Europeaninspired. We’re not copying a French pastry. It’s Europeaninspired, so you have some English savories like a coronation chicken or a cucumber sandwich. Then we pick up pastries from all over Europe. For example, we have a pastry called Paris-Brest. That’s two cities in France. There’s a bicycle race between those two cities every year. The pastry chefs along the route came up with a pastry to commemorate that race. It’s a round pastry like a bicycle. There’s an almond cream inside and there’s a butter cream inside. They represent the two different cities. The important thing is the quality. We have a vanilla bean custard. You can be assured there is real vanilla bean in it. The shop is small, but I want it to become a gathering place for locals, where they can have all those pastries, some savories, and solve world problems—who should be president, etc. 110 Stockton Ave., Capitola, 515-7889.

LOCAL LEMON CURD As a Brit, I grew up eating lemon curd, and I’m always in search of a good one. After sampling Malabar Trading Company’s tangy curd blend of fresh lemon juice, butter, sugar, and eggs (it’s all good natural stuff) at the Saturday Aptos Farmers Market, I came home with some. It’s delicious on toast, scones, crumpets, and more—not to mention spooning a bit straight out of the jar. Malabar Trading Company, P.O. Box 622, Santa Cruz, malabartradingcompany.com.

asily recognizable by its striking yellow “A” label, Alfaro Winery’s Estate 2013 Chardonnay ($22) is also easy to single out with its intense flavors of pear, apple and white peach, followed by a “hint of lemon and honeyed oak.” Even if you’re not that big a Chardonnay fan, this one may win you over with its refreshing taste and bright aromas. Winemaker Richard Alfaro doesn’t cut corners when making wine—using good barrels (the Chardonnay was aged for eight months in 20-percent new French oak) and, in this case, fruit he has grown on his estate. Seven of us were celebrating two friends’ birthdays at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos, and this flexible Chardonnay paired well with an abundance of appetizers we ordered, including crispy Monterey Bay calamari, sweet potato fries and a couple of Bittersweet’s delicious little pizzettas—which come with an assortment of toppings. Mark your calendars for the last of the farm-to-table dinners at Chaminade on Oct. 7, which will feature Alfaro’s wines.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SIGNS OF SUMMER & CHIRON RETROGRADES Beginning at summer solstice, and for 72 hours after, the Sun remains still in its northern position at the Tropic of Cancer. After three days the pole of the Earth slowly begins to tilt in the opposite direction, sunlight begins to decrease, the days grow shorter, the nights longer. An almost imperceptible change (of light) overtakes the architecture and atmosphere of our Earth at the solstices. Summer’s here. The life force, rushing into spring and creating tall, leggy green growth in the plant kingdom, settles down in summer into an unhurried, lazy, dreamy subdued heat. The human kingdom, expressing heavenly energies, seeks, instead of long overheated laborious work, more mellow activities—leisure, rest, relaxation, vacations. Summer, we hope, will be easy, sunny and fun. If we watch carefully, we notice the plants begin to grow differently as they prepare for harvest. Newborns in the

animal kingdom become teenagers. The signs of summer are Cancer (Gate where Spirit enters matter), Leo (the Heart of Love is all that Matters) and Virgo (pregnant Madonna preparing for birth at winter solstice). In the Catholic Church’s liturgy, after Pentecost & Holy Trinity, we begin preparing for Advent (first Sunday in December, preparing winter solstice). Under heaven’s influences, Earth’s kingdoms are always in flux. The light of the stars, planets, moon, and suns chart daily rhythms. The wise ones knew this. We are to be the “wise ones” now. Thursday, the U.K. chooses to stay in the European Union (or not). Monday, Chiron (the wound that is also the healing, restoring us to wholeness) retrogrades at 25 degrees Pisces. Chiron was in this sign and degree during the 1960s. President Obama has Chiron in Pisces.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Something new concerning family, property, real estate, home, materializes in the coming year. You may buy or sell, create family property, move, form community, create a collective. It is good to look forward to various and different ways of living. Something about family develops, increases, expands. You find yourself at times staying closer to home after traveling here and there. Family becomes everything (again).

The most realistic time in our lives is each moment. Most moments quietly slip by as we seek what we don’t have, wonder when vicissitudes will end or when the rainbow will appear. However, should we be aware of each moment, they begin to feel like blessings. This conscious perception of time allows us to be more authentic, spontaneous and free. For the next year, careful with diet, eating only what vitalizes, touched by the Sun.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

In the coming year, you must begin to travel, enter school, study, publish, or begin a long adventure. Everything far away is interesting, even destinations others would never contemplate. At times, you’ll consider lands different, far away and foreign. Bear in mind this needs deep reflection. The exotic is not always comfortable. However, a new journey of the mind is what you need. Call forth daily, for liberation’s sake, new archetypes of thoughts and thinking.

The surprise is a new creative talent comes forth from within, a creativity greater than previously experienced. It will make you explore all areas of the arts. This builds a new sense of identity. Careful of illusion if entering a new love affair. You might find yourself with many tasks to perform this summer. Protect your hands and arms with gloves. Check the car, too.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

New ideas, thoughts and thinking accelerate, life moves into the fast lane, new people enter your life, and you seek the world of art, music and culture. People notice you’ve become more optimistic. That dark night of the soul approach is exhausting. Certain situations at home seek detailed attention, tending and organizing. Give away everything not used in the past months. Someone else needs them.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 22, 2016

Do you feel in conflict? There are so many avenues calling your attention. First is the idea of remaining behind the scenes in a state of retreat. Then, there’s the demand facing you concerning work. Then there are all the people seeking your advice, inviting you here and there to be part of their vision. I need to ask, what is your vision of success? Because success calls to you in many guises.

Review all actions, choices made, things produced, brought to flower, people spoken with, promises made, dreams that did (or did not) come true.

Are you avoiding anyone? Step into their world, learn who they are, what they like and need. Hopes, wishes and dreams fill your mind and heart. Create a Hope, Wishes and Dreams journal. Don’t lose it!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The area of life called relationships becomes full of opportunities, personal and worldly. Something deep and profound occurs with someone close. It’s important to consider creating or expanding your professional work. Ask loved ones for help. They can be of great benefit if you are kind and grateful. Be focused, determined and analytical with finances.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Perhaps in the past you felt the need for more selfconfidence. In the coming year, self-confidence, self-reliance, and the ability to know more of yourself and your abilities will emerge, expand, and fill you with self-assurance, poise, dignity and grace. Wherever you find yourself, that’s where you’re to be. Whatever you’re called to do, act with the highest intentions. Then the world around you becomes a blessing.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 New archetypes (patterns) concerning money and values appear for the rest of the year. Afterward, looking back on how you made, used and worked with money and what your values were, you see the changes made. It’s most important to create strategic plans for budgeting, accounts, savings, tracking all finances in detail. Should you consider investing, land is a lasting and true resource.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 For a long time you’ve adhered to one particular path, following those you love without discrimination. Love came first, always. A good ethic and value. Now, however, something’s changing. Too much is uncomfortable. You seek to realize what makes you happy and joyful. You’ll need courage to face the truth, courage to set yourself on the path (a journey) toward happiness. A mantram for you: “May reality govern my every thought and truth be the master of my life.”

JOHN HOWERTON, 37-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Electrical contractor, Howerton Electrical, Hobbies: Backpacking, hiking, environmentalism, cooking, gardening Astrological Sign: Libra What do you like to cook? Mostly comfort food and barbecue. Shopper’s has such a good variety of meat. If I want to try something new, I can ask the butchers what they recommend and how to cook it, whether it’s roasted, pan-fried, or barbecued. I like that the meats are fresh and great quality. I can choose the cut I want, and the butchers — they’re not just stocking pre-packaged products — will trim or special-cut it for me. My all-time favorite, which I call “meat candy,” is Shopper’s marinated skirt steak. I’ll roast some veggies and I’ve got a great meal. Shopper’s provides a unique, excellent shopping experience.

How so? I like that the people are friendly and willing to help you out if you have a question or a special request. For a small store, they’ve got everything I need. I prefer shopping local and rarely shop the big stores. You can’t get the same level of service or quality products as you do at Shopper’s. Take the produce — much of it is local, plus there’s a huge variety and it’s always fresh. I prefer organic. The pricing is good but secondary to the value you’re getting. Shopper’s is an important community business: they employ people who are conscious of the needs of the neighborhood; they also donate to local projects and many fundraisers.

What would you say to someone new to the community about Shopper’s? Come here for the quality and selections. Come back for the service and feel welcomed and acknowledged. I’ve never had a bad experience in 37 years at Shopper’s. If you like speciality products, you’ve got to check out their cheese selections — it’s really terrific and you can’t beat the variety. Same with the wines, plus they’re knowledgeable… There’s always someone to help you pick a special wine as a gift or to pair with good food. Shopper’s probably has the best variety of chocolate bars in town. You’ll never become bored! I’ll bring a good mix with me when I go backpacking.

I prefer shopping local and rarely shop the big stores. You can’t get the same level of service or quality products as you do at Shopper’s.
