OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE The author of this week’s cover story, Maria Grusauskas, sometimes accuses me of being too cynical about alternative medicine and the culture of natural healing. I like to think of it more as a healthy skepticism about anything until I’m shown some actual proof. Believe me, if more people wrote about herbal remedies the way she does in her story this week, I’d be completely on board. The claims people make about some of this stuff can get absurd,

LETTERS LITTLE TREE HELP?

AUGUST 3-9, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Re: “Stumped” (GT, 7/20): I really enjoyed your article. I am all fired up to plant a new tree in my yard here on the Westside. I am looking for guidance on what tree to select for our climate and other considerations. The itrees.com website that you mention is tailored more to the Midwest, and does not appear to take into consideration the local climate conditions. I could not find a place on the website to enter my zip code. For now, I will visit some of the local nurseries for advice, but also wonder if there is any online information.

RUSSELL FORD | SANTA CRUZ

Maria Grusauskas responds: Russell, it’s great to hear that you are not only going to plant a tree but that you’re putting thought into what kind. The City of Santa Cruz website includes an approved planting list for “street trees” on sidewalk strips in front of houses. These trees are given to residents, once their permit application is accepted. The city also has something called a “Neighborhood Tree Planting Program,” where neighborhoods can apply for young trees and planting materials and host a tree planting event. As for your own backyard, you’re free to plant whatever you’d like, but I have yet to find a resource similar to itree.com that caters tree advice to our area.

to the point that you don’t know what to believe; for the uninitiated, the world of medicinal herbs can be confusing and overwhelming. But her “Herbal Medicine 101” guide cuts through the hyperbole to make it clear what we know and don’t know about some of the most interesting plants in use today. Christina Waters also writes about the pursuit of natural wonders this week—namely, a new bible for local mushroom hunters. And on the fitness side of our Health and Fitness issue, June Smith writes about an offshoot of the Zumba craze, Zumba Gold, that’s helping adults in our community get moving. Here’s to your health (and fitness)! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

COVER SYMBOLISM Re: “Redefining Marriage” (GT, 6/1) While many of us are striving to redefine gender, the cover graphic for this article simply serves to reinforce stereotypes (that of women in dresses/men in pants). Also, the graphic implies that the redefining of marriage seems to be that of three people with a genderfluid person in the middle The article content does not include this structure, so the ill-matched graphic is misleading and perhaps counterproductive. An apology from the editor is warranted. ORLY LALUZ | SANTA CRUZ

Thank you for the feedback on an important and often tricky issue of visual representation. The image was meant to suggest a multitude of possible combinations between gender-specific and genderfluid persons. — Editor

NO OTHER OPTION I’m surprised by a community that sees itself as creative and intelligent, yet can’t seem to apply these traits to our shared problem. Read “Can Lighthouse Field Be Saved?” (GT, 7/6) to see old and backward thinking that forever casts our most vulnerable population as the whippingdog of inappropriate space usage. With zero solutions put forward by the city for people who, for one reason or another, sleep outside, why are they made out to be >8 subhuman? After the Lighthouse

Simpkins Family Swim Center just added a new feature to its facility: childcare. And the county-run aquatic hub is charging only $5 an hour—which seems like a real steal as far as babysitting goes. But no, you’re not allowed to drop your toddler off and go for a drink with your sweetheart at the Pocket— you have to stay on-site.

Over the last 80 years, the big avocado tree in the Shopper’s Corner parking lot has shaded many a car. It was planted there in the early 1930s, before Shopper’s was even a business. The tree, which has reached the end of its life, will be removed on Monday, Aug. 8. Andre Beauregard, who manages the family business, says crews will plant a new tree and mill the old one into slabs for furniture.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 3 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I apologize in advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught? 1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

Could it be true that the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, inside-out perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!”—at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 August is Adopt-a-Taurus month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you require additional support and guidance from wise elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of mentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before.

GEMINI May21–June20 When a parasite or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

It’s your lucky day! Spiritual counsel comparable to what you’re reading here usually sells for $99.95. But because you’re showing signs that you’re primed to outwit bad habits, I’m offering it at no cost. I want to encourage you! Below are my ideas for what you should focus on. (But keep in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute perfection.) 1. Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity and romanticized pessimism. 2. Withdraw from connections with people who harbor negative images of you. 3. Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play. 4. Don’t give your precious life energy to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions.

You’re not doing a baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.”

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I’ve worked hard for many years to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus, and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Are you lingering at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny? Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”

OPINION

Field restrooms close, there’s no place within a half-mile to relieve oneself. There are virtually no trash containers and no syringe sharps containers to be found anywhere in the park, yet we prop up the boogeyman of the “transient” as blame for poor civic planning. Let’s admit it, we have no solutions to our most pressing social problem, so we attack the victim. I’ve spent the past month exploring homelessness

in southern and central California, and no city is doing a good job with it. At least we can own up to it. Instead, I’d like to see an article titled, “No Other Option but Open Space.” It’s my work and prayer that our community begins to understand that people shouldn’t be treated and written about as though they’re trash. We’re all in this together. BRENT ADAMS | SANTA CRUZ

Why Councilmember Micah Posner says he won’t run for re-election BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

t’s midday on Sunday, July 31, and just behind Micah Posner, families are out for a Sunday afternoon stroll in San Lorenzo Park. His face framed by a long, unkempt beard, Posner sighs, flipping through notebook pages of scribbled lists—reflections on the last four years. Just back from a long vacation in the Sierra Nevadas with his family, he’s explaining why he’s decided not to seek another term on the Santa Cruz City Council. “On the one hand, I felt like I had

done my sacrifice and I was ready to be done, but I was considering running again if there weren’t other people running issue-based campaigns,” Posner says. “But there are at least two, if not more, so I feel I’m not needed. The idea of running in competition with [council candidates] Steve Schnaar and Drew Glover is totally unappealing. In fact, I would much rather support them.” Posner was already known as a community activist when he ran for Santa Cruz City Council in 2012

and finished as the third-highest vote getter out of eight candidates vying for four seats. Formerly the director of People Power (now called Bike Santa Cruz County), Posner campaigned not just on transportation, but on a variety of issues, including a vision for economic development and halfjokingly promising “a web designer in every garage and a farmstand on every block.” Looking back on his term, Posner points to his work on >13

His back to the railing of the recently renovated Chardonnay III sailing yacht, Captain John Ribera casually surveys his crew as he readies for a Wednesday night sail out of the Santa Cruz harbor. A sibling to the popular Chardonnay II, this lighter-weight vessel—made of balsa wood and carbon fiber—is a certifiable adventure boat built to shave across ocean water at high speeds, slanting to a 45-degree angle while its sail swells with gusts of wind. By contrast, the Chardonnay II—where passengers have been snacking and drinking on two-hour trips for 25 years— was “built like a limousine,” Ribera says. The Chardonnay III was built for speed. “We’ll take people out and show them the thrill of real sailing versus—when you’re on the Chardonnay II, you get more catered, and you’re sitting down,” Ribera says. “There’s still going to be service [on the Chardonnay III], but it will be a different sail.” “We want to maintain the racing integrity of the vessel as much as possible,” adds Jim Beauregard, who mans the helm at Chardonnay Sailing Charters, one of a few family-run businesses managed by the Beauregard family, along with Shopper’s Corner and Beauregard Vineyards. The Santa Cruz Seaside Company, which owns the Boardwalk, is also a business partner in the sailing charter. Down below in the cabin, the serving area is stocked with six kinds of beer to go with five kinds of pizza—pepperoni, cheese, pesto, feta and tomato, sausage and mushrooms— in addition to two kinds of Beauregard wine: the Rosé of Pinot Noir and, of course, their Chardonnay. The passengers, who are mostly friends and family this evening, sip on drinks as they sit around the deck, but the crew members are zeroed in. CSC staffers have not yet drawn up an official menu, so pizza slices could ultimately be a far cry from what the crew is serving once the sailboat is open to the public, as Beauregard and Ribera hope it soon will be. The Chardonnay II runs a variety of $60-per-person charters, each with its own culinary theme—Hawaiian grill, sushi, champagne brunch. >14

BOWING OUT <11 the Rail Trail as a success, as well as his part in halting a proposed desalination plant on the Westside. He played a role in creating the Water Supply Advisory Committee, which put Santa Cruz on a path toward alternatives to desal, he notes. Others have praised his willingness to meet with people in the community, which they say has made city government more accessible. Many would argue, though, that Posner has had a hard time meeting the bar he set for himself as a progressive candidate four years ago. He has appeared to struggle making relationships on the council, and he admits to feeling disillusioned by how many city decisions are made behind closed doors instead of in public. During meetings, his often longwinded comments about seemingly minute issues have at times been met with heavy sighs, or even eye rolls, from his colleagues. His contributions to council conversation can be jarring, as he sometimes interrupts other councilmembers. He often stares wistfully into the audience, expressing his frustration with an issue before casting the lone dissenting “nay” on a 6-1 vote.

Reed Searle, local longtime activist and Posner supporter, says the councilmember doesn’t enjoy being in the minority, but Posner simply hasn’t had the votes to work on a wider-ranging progressive agenda. “He’s not going to change those views,” says Searle, who views Posner as the spiritual successor to the old-school progressives who often dominated the City Council in the 1990s and early 2000s. Posner, who says that his activist background for the most part prepared him to take heat in public life, feels that politicians should never be ashamed of holding unpopular positions. “Part of what the problem with politics is is people aren’t willing to not be liked,” he says. “It’s a little too chummy, to be honest. You have council members that won’t be outvoted unless they are with the majority. To me, that’s a real problem in democracy. That’s one of the things I am most proud of. I gave voice to disagreement in a way that’s respectful.” Fred Keeley, former Santa Cruz County treasurer and state legislator, says that Posner’s approach of digging his heels in on so many different issues comes from

his background in activism. “Micah evokes strong reactions from people and he has a style that evokes strong reactions, strong support, strong opposition,” says Keeley, probably Posner’s highestprofile supporter four years ago, and a mentor to him since then. “We all see Micah, and we see the same behavior, and we draw different conclusions from it.” Posner, who has endorsed Steve Schnaar, Drew Glover and Steve Pleich for City Council this time around, says his term on the council was sometimes difficult for his young family. His decision to not run again was also influenced by the backlash he incurred from an illegal housing unit he had in his backyard until recently. For seven years, he had rented out the 120-square-foot shed, complete with a bed, electricity and water hookups, which didn’t have city permits or zoning approvals. City Water Commissioner David Baskin says he has always liked Posner as a councilmember and a person, although the two have often disagreed politically. But Baskin, a retired lawyer, says he lost respect for Posner when news broke of him renting out a space that did not meet health and safety requirements. >16

The station retooled this past fall, switching to a music-only format, and listeners responded, calling in excitedly with positive feedback. According to Royers’ press release, the station will keep looking for a buyer—just in case anyone’s interested in a station that’s not only deep in debt, but also no longer on the air.

But officials did find West Nile Virus in Santa Cruz for the first time last month. The offending mosquitoes were in Neary Lagoon. The virus can cause flu symptoms and—in less than 1 percent of cases—central nervous system damage too. In Santa Clara County, where the problem is more established, officials began fogging affected areas with fumigants in June. JACOB PIERCE

Hear that? An eerie static. After 45 years, the airwaves at 88.9 FM have gone dead. KUSP, a radio station with only one staff person left, stopped broadcasting at 12 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 1. “The writing was on the wall. I know people were trying desperately to avoid this situation and I wish them luck,” says Stephen Slade, a former KUSP board member who recently stepped down due to issues unrelated to the station. “But it was a very steep hill.” KUSP is mired in more than a quarter of a million dollars of debt—most of it to National

Public Radio (NPR) and two other public radio groups. No one from the KUSP Board of Directors is doing interviews this week, but according to a press release from board member Cathie Royer, monthly expenses exceed revenues, even after all the cost-cutting the station has done. The release also praises the work of recently appointed General Manager Alex Burke, an eight-year employee who became the lone staff person because she knew how to do pretty much everything around the station. The station switched to expensive national programming

ANGLED UP IN BLUE Owners of the Chardonnay III, which is seen here on a trip back from the San Francisco Bay after renovations, hope to open it for public trips soon. PHOTO: ADAM KOCH

HOPE FLOATS <11 In the meantime, Beauregard is navigating the regulatory and permitting framework that will allow him to launch commercial operations on the Chardonnay III and start taking paying customers. Adam Koch, the vessel manager for both boats, has been talking to Coast Guard officials about getting the Chardonnay III safety-certified. In recent weeks, Koch says, the boat has received a few upgrades, including a new railing around the deck’s perimeter. The boat might soon get a different set of sails too, he says. It also needs its permit to operate from the Santa Cruz Port District. One issue may be that Chardonnay III, a 70-foot boat, needs a 70-foot slip. “There are only three 70-foot slips in the harbor,” says Port Commissioner Lisa Ekers.

Beauregard first submitted a proposal a year ago, according to the Santa Cruz Harbor website, while he was in the process of buying the boat. A response from Ekers at the time indicated a few concerns, including parking, which according to a recent study is already becoming limited at peak summer hours. Ekers recommended Beauregard resubmit his request after a Murray Street Bridge retrofit, which has not yet begun. In the past year, Beauregard has met with the commission, and a June memo from the commissioners says they still don’t think the harbor can “accommodate another large sailing vessel at this time.” But as they forge ahead, crew members at Chardonnay Sailing Charters are undeterred. In addition to public charters, the Chardonnay II offers team-building trips, weddings on the water and burials at

sea. Demand, they say, is high. The plan, as Koch explains mid-sail, is ideally to use the Chardonnay II for public sails and use the new boat for corporate events and team building. “Sailing is a team effort. One person can’t do his job unless the other person does his job,” Koch says, his brown hair lifting in the wind. “You’re waiting on each other, and that’s exactly what sailing is about—working as a team. Everything is under such a high load that you have to do it in a team manner. You can’t release one line without everyone being aware of it. I grew up doing it as a kid, and it taught me a lot about working with other people.” Koch and Ribera have both been sailing all their lives. Ribera, a racing man with experience on everything from tankers to dinghies, actually began working on the original Chardonnay,

which is no longer sailing, when he was 18. When the two talk about bringing the Chardonnay II and Chardonnay III together, they sound like proud uncles reuniting two long-lost sisters. The two boats were built as part of the same 13-boat fleet years ago by Santa Cruz Yachts, a legendary boat manufacturer once based in Soquel. Another Santa Cruz 70-foot boat, the Merlin, set the record for a sail from California to Hawaii in 1977 and held the record for 20 years. When the record was finally broken, it fell to the Pyewacket, a different Santa Cruz 70-footer. Until they set sail commercially with the new boat, Beauregard and company are just excited about the family reunion. “Pretty neat to have two Santa Cruz 70s sailing charters sailing together,” Beauregard says, “as the Chardonnay sailing charter evolves.”

Baskin further railed on the city councilmember for failing to properly disclose the income publicly. “The notion that a person would make those kinds of decisions and then want to be our legislator doesn’t work for me,” Baskin says. Posner immediately made the unit fully compliant with the city’s Planning Department rules, evicting his tenant, and city officials did not penalize him. Posner, who now hopes to build a permitted unit on his property, says the fiasco crosses his mind every day. “The unit spotlighted how hard the job is. I successfully made a ton of sacrifices and changed my life around to be able to do a good job,” Posner says. “Everything from clipping my ear hair to responding to people who were obnoxious. The rental unit put a spotlight on me, and it was a lot to ask of me and my family.” Posner apologized in a council meeting and explained himself. At the meeting, some supported Posner, or even praised him for providing an affordable place to live. Others suggested he was a hypocrite, helping to preside over the laws that regulate housing while skirting them himself. Keeley says this is partly why public officials need to take care of issues that could do them harm. “You should assume in public life that there are no secrets … It is reasonable to expect that they will be exposed,” Keeley says. “It doesn’t matter if you are progressive, conservative or anything else. That’s life in the public eye.” The City Council race is already getting crowded, with four seats available, one incumbent is Mayor Cynthia Mathews and nine other candidates. Jim P. Davis, Robert Singleton and Sandy Brown are the most recent candidates to throw their hats into the ring. Posner, who hasn’t decided exactly what he’ll be doing next, hopes to give advice to the candidates he’s endorsing. Other than that, he’s looking to get back to his activist roots. “I’m hoping someone will read this article and think ‘Wow, you know, Micah would be good at this,’” Posner says. “I’ve thought of everything, including buying a farm—which my wife said no to. So if someone has a project for me out there, call me up.”

A beginner’s guide to exploring the world of herbs for health BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

n a Thursday evening at the Pacific Avenue headshop Go Ask Alice, I slip past the festival attire (the man burns in 31 days!) to a wall filled with dozens of herbs, blends and tinctures. I’m a repeat customer, having purchased a menagerie of botanical remedies over the last year, from the Mexican dream herb calea to mugwort to Reishi mushroom powder. Today, I’m here for kratom, a somewhat controversial herb that

is legal in all but four U.S. states, and stocked in great abundance and variety at Go Ask Alice—though customers are informed that it is not intended for human consumption. It’s one of the most popular herbs sold, says Ariel Ma’ayan, a licensed herbalist and acupuncturist who is behind the counter. Ma’ayan hands me a small complimentary cup of damiana tea, which is unfailingly brewing here—hailed for its calming, euphoric, health-enhancing and aphrodisiac qualities—and the

herb that kicked off my swan dive into experimental herbal medicine at Go Ask Alice. He places a 30-gram pouch of chartreuse powder ($25), a strain of kratom called Red Mayan, on the counter. “A lot of people have reported that it’s helped them with opioid withdrawal,” says Ma’ayan. “I’ve seen that extensively, and it’s one of the really cool parts of the job, when former junkies come in here for kratom and use it to get clean.” Stimulating in small doses and

HEART OF THE MATTER

Hawthorn, a member of the rose family, is an effective herb for treating congestive heart failure, angina and coronary artery disease. Digitalis, or foxglove, is the other major herb with a long history of treating heart issues.

was introduced to the market after 1994, when the FDA grandfathered all existing “natural remedies” into the dietary supplement category, allowing them to be sold untested— as long as their distributors don’t claim that they cure or treat medical disorders. What’s more, today it costs about $730 million to approve a medical drug in the U.S. This goes a long way toward explaining why plantbased medicines, which can’t be patented in and of themselves, are

not regulated in the same way that drugs are. “Nobody’s going to do that for chamomile or echinacea or hawthorn,” says Roy Upton, a local herbalist and co-founder of the American Herbalists Guild. “That’s why we don’t have herbal medicine in this country. Because healthcare is a business, it is not a right, whereas in other countries it is a right.” Upton points out that plant-based medicine is practiced in 80 percent of the world; in

Germany, for instance, the licensing examination for every doctor includes herbal medicine. But the U.S. began moving away from herbs long ago, as soon as drug companies learned to isolate active plant chemicals and synthesize them in the lab. “In 2010, pharmaceutical medications overcame cigarettes as the number one cause of death in the United States,” says Upton. “But they don’t know what to do about it because they’re stuck in their

sedative in larger ones, kratom— grown in Southeast Asia, where it’s illegal—activates the opioid receptors, which gives it its marked pain-relieving effects. In a country where a growing prescription opioid epidemic now kills more people each year than firearms and car accidents, a number that has quadrupled since 1999 according to the CDC, kratom seems like it could be a promising alternative to, say, methadone. But it’s caught in a gray area of legality because it

paradigm of disease care.” As of 2012, 59 percent of Americans were taking prescription drugs, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. The U.S. is missing out on a world of safe, effective plant-based medicine, says Upton, whose goal for the last 25 years has been to change that. He is the founder, executive director and editor at the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP), an organization that formed in 1995 to promote the responsible use of herbs. They’ve been slowly and meticulously cataloging the world’s medicinal herbs into a comprehensive collection of monographs—much like an encyclopedia, but written by leading researchers from multiple schools of medicine. “So basically, our job is to bring

all of this information together under one roof so that people don’t have to guess any more about what the herb does—its dosage, should I be worried about how it’s going to interact with my conventional meds, is there a long-term toxicity, what is it really good for versus what all the companies market it for. And mostly to allay fears; physicians’ fear of using them, regulators’ fears of having to regulate them,” says Upton. When it comes to using herbs to optimize health, it’s best to use them on a semi-regular basis, rather than the reactive approach that is more common in American health care. “Natural health care requires self learning,” Upton says. “The best way to incorporate herbs into your life is to learn which ones are specific to you, under what conditions, at what times.” I have barely cracked the surface

“Natural health care requires self learning. The best way to incorporate herbs into your life is to learn which ones are specific to you, under what conditions, at what times.” - ROY UPTON, HERBALIST AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE AMERICAN HERBALISTS GUILD

<20 of the vast world of plant medicine, and the list of herbs that follows is meant only as a sampling of some of the most profound herbs on the market today, many of which I’ve tested on my own biochemistry. I recommend doing your own research and experimentation, since it may be a long time before herbal prescriptions from Western doctors are a reality.

REISHI MUSHROOM

One of the most nutritious plants on the planet, stinging nettles grow like a weed in much of the U.S. I’ve harvested them (with gloves) from my mother’s garden, and simmered them into a tea, which removes the sting. I’ve also folded them into scrambled eggs, and even made nettle pesto—both delicious. You can purchase nettles in dried-leaf form at Go Ask Alice, or find them fresh at the farmers market. The resulting tea is deep green with a grassy taste, and, when experiencing seasonal allergies I found some relief after drinking a huge pot—as nettles are said to contain natural antihistamines, though studies confirming these are scarce. Most notably, they are a diuretic, and have been used for centuries to treat urinary problems, as well as gout, anemia and in compresses to treat painful muscles and joints. Sufferers of rheumatism have even reported relief through deliberate stinging called urtication—apparently also performed by some as a recreational activity in the bedroom.

One of the oldest mushrooms known to be used medicinally, the rustcolored powder form of the reishi mushroom can be mixed with honey and eaten as a paste. The package I purchased from Go Ask Alice recommended eating it along with vitamin C on an empty stomach in the morning, or mixed with hot water to make a tea. It tastes, well, like gritty soil, and it has a bitter aftertaste, but its benefits have been welldocumented since ancient times—its use first recorded (and embraced to this day) in Chinese medicine. “Reishi has strong anti-stress activity, and it’s one of the ones you really feel,” says Upton, who recommends taking reishi for at least a month to see what it can really do for you. “It helps you sleep better, helps you be more grounded and focused, and helps with energy, resilience and endurance.” Reishi is also a strong immune system tonic with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Most notably, studies have found that patients using reishi in conjunction with chemotherapy have responded more positively to the treatment, with elevated levels of immune response cells.

<23 strong antiviral properties. “When you feel something coming on, power it down every hour, then take a hot bath at night and go to bed,” he says. “A lot of times you can knock it out in one or two days rather than five or six.” Prolonged daily use is not recommended, however, since your body will get used to it and start to ignore it—so take echinacea only when you need it to maximize its benefits. Available as a tea at Go Ask Alice as well as in tincture form in various health stores around town.

VALERIAN ROOT For the insomniac who’d rather not resort to pharmaceutical-grade sleeping pills, many of which are habit forming, valerian root comes to the rescue. I’ve had some success getting to sleep with hops, skullcap,

damiana and passionflower, but valerian root has been consistently powerful in knocking me out. Cold. Purchased from Staff of Life’s bulk bins, the only downside to the twiglike roots is that they give off a dirty sock smell. Made into a tea, it tastes something like dirty sock with a hint of vanilla. Its effects should not be taken lightly, either. Valerian quells anxiety by calming the nervous system, has been used as a natural pain reliever, lowers blood pressure and settles the stomach. Drinking a strong cup before bed—add about two teaspoons to boiling water and let steep for 15 minutes—should ease most people into not just any sleep, but a deep sleep, like if you were a rock at the bottom of Lake Tahoe, that kind of sleep. Daytime use may be recommended for the overly anxious, but for me it induced

utilization of oxygen by the heart by slightly dilating the coronary vessels. It’s recommended for those with a history of heart disease in their family as well as those recovering from a heart attack. Available in powder form at Go Ask Alice.

The first time I tried this as a tincture, I loved how it tasted—an ineffable but extremely strong medicinal flavor with a bitter finish. “That must mean your body needs it,” said my friend, and maybe she was right. Astragalus is a revered tonic in Chinese medicine, used to rebuild the immune system, stimulate the spleen, liver, lungs, circulatory and urinary system, and improve stamina. It’s also antibacterial and antiviral, and an ideal choice for treating chronic fatigue syndrome. Currently, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is sponsoring studies of astragalus on the immune system, and a review by the National Medicine Comprehensive Database (NMCD) found that longterm astragalus use may relieve seasonal allergies and help prevent colds. Intravenous use may help chronic hepatitis patients and may even benefit breast cancer and certain lung cancer patients. I’ve taken astragalus off and on, and can report a general feeling of wellbeing during the times that I take it, usually by the third week, although I can’t rule out the placebo effect.

<26 instructors, she chose to focus on Gold classes to serve the untapped population of potential students. Carolyn Stallard, a Tai Chi instructor, says that after her first class she went home and soaked in Epsom salts. “Soon after, I started to catch on, sometimes even doing the right steps, and realized that this is brain exercise as well as body exercise. The rhythms are infectious, and I find it impossible to stand still once the music starts; but the real draw is Harrell,” Stallard says. “Her smile lights up the whole room, lifting us all with her clear joy in movement, her inventiveness in choreography, and her expert cueing.” Joy Prouty and Josie Gardiner, based at Zumba headquarters in Florida, are co-developers of the Gold program, along with Zumba creative director, Beto Perez. Their credo is: “Zumba is exercise in disguise.” It’s designed to be a party, and who doesn’t like having a good time? A good time is what Harrell’s students are having. Marsha McCrory, who has danced with Harrell for almost four years, saw an ad for the class and decided that joining a Zumba Gold class was something she needed to do. “My inner dancer was hidden pretty deeply, and movement came slowly,” she says. “Adrienne was so patient, caring and non-judgmental; I just kept going back. I learned it was safe and fun to be present in my body

hormones making you crazy?

and my range of motion increased. Adrienne boogies down with the great music she chooses. Her smile and presence light up the room.” The Zumba regimen uses interval training, meaning that routines do not demand constant high-energy movement. Harrell says her selected playlist takes pacing of tempo into account. “At the end of every class, I’ve worked up a good sweat. and my heart is full of joy and peace,” she says. Zumba’s creators believe that most of us dance to feel good, relieve stress or get our heart rates going, but the pursuit of fitness can have positive effects on long-term health, as well. A study conducted by The New England Journal of Medicine suggests that leisure activities such as dancing result in a reduced risk of developing dementia. The impact level of Zumba Gold is just right for many adults, and the class draws a lot of seniors. Hamsa Harriet Hilker, 86, was looking for a new Zumba class after dropping out of one that was too athletic for her body. “After finding Harrell, I took off like a rocket,” says Hilker. “She is contagious.”

Vitamin Center Amy Jespersen, CN

I was raised by parents who had the upmost interest in health and healthy living. My father, Jack Macdonald of the Vitamin Center, kept us current with the health movement. Over the years I rebelled and moved on my own path. My own health started to deteriorate in my mid-twenties and I found myself seeking a holistic approach to my aliments. Western medicine provided me with a number of friendly doctors who could not address my symptoms. After the birth of my fourth child my health was at its worst. I ended up in the ER where a very helpful doctor suggested I had autoimmune thyroid disease. This was a turning point for me as I realized I must advocate for myself and my health. I began doing my own research, reading, and interviewing. I became a patient of some phenomenal practitioners and my health began to return. Working at the Vitamin Center I spoke with many customers whose health was failing. One of the things I noticed was a commonality between a person’s perception of eating healthy, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and failing health. Many people want a quick fix supplement and fail to do the work necessary for good health. So I went to Bauman College to learn more about diet and health with the intent of sharing and teaching people how to make positive changes in their life that would reflect in their health. Jack’s supplement knowledge and my nutrition knowledge make us a great team.

Hamlet Reimagined

Santa Cruz Shakespeare transforms and transcends this favorite story of betrayal and revenge BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ne night I was transfixed by the sight of a woman being nominated for President of the United States, the next I was treated to the sight of a woman playing Hamlet!

HOT TICKET

In Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s skillful production of the epic tragedy, Kate Eastwood Norris soars beyond expectations of the brooding Danish prince and provides us with a smart, physically adroit, and fiendishly

funny Hamlet—the Danish princess. With director Paul Mullins’ impeccable staging, the production sets out to infuse energy and nuance into Shakespeare’s epic—and it succeeds.

Opening night’s Hamlet succeeded on so many fronts. Minimalist set design suggested the parapets of Elsinore’s castle, thanks to tall white columns, which by the time-honored miracle of stagecraft (plus >34

acting company exactly what it needed—an arena in which to strut and play, caper and duel, and ultimately perform its magic. The crisp staging used the entire grove. The ghost of Hamlet’s father (Bernard K. Addison) disappears up the side aisles. The castle’s interior and exterior seem to flow easily in and out of the tall columns as characters enter the action and then exit to pursue their intrigues. The decision to cast women in several key roles often created choice bits of dramatic friction and more than a little delightful mischief. When Guildenstern (Katherine Ko) and Rosencrantz (Mary Cavett) first reunite with their old classmate Hamlet, girlfriendly giddiness breaks out with such brio as to almost mask their darker mission, as Polonius, SCS veteran Patty Gallagher, effortlessly crafts a tour de force of interfering blabbery. Her portrayal embodies a terrific match of comedic skills and deft wordplay, illuminating the silliness of the unfortunate counselor and the scathing send-up Shakespeare intends. The switch in gender complicates (deliciously) the character’s myopia. Another bit of casting savvy has the same actor, Addison (who also plays the clueless Nick Bottom in Midsummer Night’s Dream) cast as the murdered king and as his murderer, Claudius. The irony of a single player in these fatally entwined roles is both visually and psychologically resonant, as Hamlet’s mother Gertrude (Carol Halstead) moves expertly from self-delusion to regret. And the entire company— thanks to costumer B. Modern— looks wonderful. Led with confidence by Larry Paulsen (as both the King of the players, and later as the salty Gravedigger), the small playerwithin-the-play troupe assumes the stylized, almost dreamlike stances that mesmerized our live audience as much as the onstage audience of Elsinore’s court. Some of the most famous moments in which Shakespeare reveals so much about stagecraft, and the power of our imaginations to conjure genuine

emotions from mere words, are packed into this gemlike meta-play. But now to Hamlet herself. Kate Eastwood Norris, playing the part that many young girls grew up wishing they could play (I know I did), pulled it off with a meteor shower of clarity and style. Here was a Hamlet whose gender— thanks to costume as well as superb technique—slowly transformed throughout the play (much as Orlando’s will in the Fringe Show). Beginning from the elegant black gown of mourning in which we first meet the grieving Dane, to the “to be or not to be” scene in which she wears a plaid kilt over trousers and boots, to the final sword fight clad completely in men’s attire, Norris convinces us of the character’s own psychological transitioning. Suddenly I was seeing a Hamlet relevant in ways I hadn’t expected. Not that Hamlet is shown as essentially a woman, nor is the director caving to cultural fashion. But here is what Hamlet might mean, might do. Norris’s stylistic hipness, electrifying intelligibility, and command of each word’s power were utterly convincing. The opening night audience seemed to be with her every step of the way. Norris’s Hamlet illuminated the phrases, not only one by one but also as they gathered into cascades of revelation. The layers of laugh-out-loud humor and witty wordplay that tease the central tragedy also showed up. You will be stunned at just how much fun betrayal and revenge can be in the right hands. Last autumn I was lucky enough to see Benedict Cumberbatch play Hamlet on the London stage and, I have to say, Norris’ performance compared handsomely. She did what Shakespeare demands—“amaze indeed the very faculties of eyes and ears.” And in the process, blew me away. I confess I had been initially uneasy about the idea of Hamlet being performed by a women, as a woman. Silly me. I was quickly smitten, and I’ll bet you will be, too. Don’t miss this surprising transformation of a play you thought you knew. Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s production of Hamlet by William Shakespeare is at the Audrey Stanley Grove at Delaveaga Park through Aug. 28. santacruzshakespeare.org.

AUGUST FEATURES The Screaming Hand – Museum of Art and History

Sculpture Exhibit – UCSC Arboretum Arboretum Road, 2pm-7pm

How fortunate are we to have such a magical getaway so close, in the UCSC Arboretum. This First Friday, to add to our good fortune, a who’s who of Santa Cruz sculptors will be exhibiting work and conducting workshops throughout the afternoon. You know you’ve been meaning to get up there for a visit! This might be the perfect time.

705 Front Street, 5pm-9pm

In a place like Santa Cruz, the question comes up from time to time about what qualifies someone to be a “local.” Some would argue that if your great grandparents weren’t born here you are not in the club. For some, the earthquake is a benchmark of sufficient history. It’s hard to say for certain, but one thing we know is this: If you hear the words “screaming hand” and it doesn’t immediately bring up imagery of Jim’s blue icon, you’re not a local. The Museum’s tribute exhibition features work by, and inspired by, Jim Phillips and celebrates the art of Santa Cruz surf and skate culture.

1411 Pacific Ave, 5pm-9pm

If you walk into 1411 Pacific Avenue this Friday evening, there is a pretty good chance you will experience some form of joy. The cupcakes alone are enough to inspire euphoria, but of course that is just the beginning. The vibrant and playful paintings of Cindy Mori are an equally delicious treat. Delight in her colorfully animated creatures and characters that invite you in to share a story of a fantastic place where magic is the norm and everything tastes sweet.

FIRST FRIDAY FOCUS Socialize with us. Share your First Friday experiences on social media

Linda Fahey – Michaelangelo Studios 1111 River St. 5pm-8:30pm

After a brief hiatus, the popular River Street Gallery and Studios returns to First Friday with a solo exhibition by studio artist in resident, Linda Fahey. Most of her signature works are figurative with the intent to capture a moment in time or particular gesture and the unfamiliar.

MUSHROOM HUNTER Christian Schwarz, co-author of ‘Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast’ will appear at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Thursday, Aug. 18. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Mushroom Millenium Christian Scharwz and Noah Siegel publish a West Coast mushroom field guide for the 21st century BY CHRISTINA WATERS shelves by the time you read this. Comprehensive, user-friendly and bulging with gorgeous, detailed photographs, creating the book gave Schwarz and Siegel an excuse to enjoy an extended trek through some of the most lavishly endowed landscapes on the planet. “We think of it as a Mushrooms Demystified for the modern era,” Schwarz says. “We narrowed the focus down to the redwood coast— from Monterey County to the Pacific Northwest—and it’s full of updated taxonomy, habitat descriptions, and full-color images.” Currently collecting fungi specimens for the Norris Center while finishing up at UCSC, Schwarz

grew up in San Diego. “I got into mushrooms completely by accident. I didn’t like mushrooms culinarily. They were my least favorite food,” he adds with a micro-sneer. But his younger brother, who was reading Lord of the Rings, got a hold of a field guide of mushrooms. “We went out for a walk after a rain and when we found mushrooms,” his eyes pop, “I knew that was it for me!” What he loved about the moisture-loving fungi was “Everything! From the visual grotesqueness of them all the way to their beauty and incredible diversity,” he says. The quest for new mushrooms still gets him out of bed in the morning. “I’m always looking around

Christian Scharwz will discuss ‘Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast’ at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18 at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

y the late ’80s there wasn’t a bookshelf in Santa Cruz that lacked its copy of David Arora’s Mushrooms Demystified. It was required reading for every hiker, backpacker, and nature-lover in California. How, then, could anyone dare publish another mushroom field guide in the domain of the legendary David Arora? Well, one has—and with the express endorsement of the original mycology guru himself. The ones who dared are Santa Cruzan Christian Schwarz and his fellow field researcher Noah Siegel. The substantial (600-plus pages) new field guide—Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast—will be on the

for mushrooms,” Schwarz admits. “Mushrooms give me a great sense of place, of the seasons and time.” His other passion is tidepools, which offer the same wildly diverse and grotesque beauty, he says. The tidepools of Scott Creek Beach are his favorite. Coming to UCSC for, you guessed it, the mushrooms, Schwarz initially stayed busy during the non-rainy season by birding. “And then I got into plants, and then I started paying attention to everything.” As a mushroom taxonomist, Schwarz especially covets unique habitats, “places where mushrooms are rare and unexpected, for example places with sandy soils,” he says. He finds known—and hopefully unknown varieties—and documents them photographically, often collecting them for the Norris Center herbarium at UCSC. The book took the co-authors six years to create. “I met Noah at a mushroom foray in 2009,” he says, and after a year of getting together over mushrooms they decided to do a book. “We tried to be as comprehensive as possible, but there are thousands of mushrooms in this region so we had to narrow it down,” he says, laughing. Published by Ten Speed Press, the new book profiles 767 species, each with a color photograph and detailed descriptions. “Often people don’t know where to look for mushrooms, and that’s why we’ve included an entire chapter on trees. We tried to emphasize habitat,” he says. Schwarz admits that the field trips were the high spot of making the book happen. “The adventures of being on a road trip, meeting people, that was really fun. So now we’re working on the mushrooms of the Sierra Nevada,” he says, grinning at the prospect. Schwarz, who says he now actually enjoys eating mushrooms, vows to stay in the area as long as he can. But if economic reality forces him to leave the West Coast, he’s quite sure that “there are still some places with a good intersection of mushrooms and affordability.”

Freedom of Voice

After writing hits for pop stars, alt-rocker LP gets back to making her own music BY AARON CARNES

inger-songwriter LP recalls the first time she heard someone else sing one of her songs. It was “Love Will Keep You Up All Night” sung by the Backstreet Boys, and it was truly surreal hearing it, she says. She wrote that song for them in 2007, and in the years that followed she would write for Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Cher Lloyd, and many others. Becoming a professional songwriter was an unusual turn of events for the alt-rock musician born Laura Pergolizzi, who got her

start in 2001, released two indie albums, and got a major label deal with Island Def Jam Music Group in 2006, though they ultimately never released any of her recordings. “I was always being told my songs weren’t big enough or good enough. The irony of all ironies was I turned into a songwriter for other people. I guess they were wrong,” LP says. She worked with Island Def Jam for three years, and estimates she wrote approximately 135 songs in that time. Though she never released her own material during

that period, she stumbled into the career of songwriting for others. After that she thought she might be a songwriter exclusively, but, a few years later, she got the bug to record an album again. This time she made a deal with Warner Brothers and released the live EP Into The Wild in 2012, and then two years later the studio album Forever Now. Forever Now proved to be another frustrating experience with a major label. While they actually released something this time, she wasn’t happy with the results. It

was overproduced, and the label talked her out of including her more emotional tunes. But she wasn’t discouraged. In fact, she felt like her time working with majors did yield some positive results—not only did it help her carve a career in songwriting, which she continues to do today, but it also made her more prolific. “The volume of songs that I wrote proved to me that I could do it. Before that, in my indie days, I probably wrote about 13 songs a year. I was like, ‘yes!’ And every single one of them went on my album. Yes. I rule. That was it,” LP says. She left Warner Brothers and released the Death Valley EP in June, on the much smaller Vagrant Records. The production is toned down significantly, and it’s filled with a lot more dynamics. Plus, she got to put on every song she wanted. They were intensely emotional, written as a long term relationship was dissolving and her relationship with Warner Brothers was falling apart. She didn’t hold back, or try to write a pop record. “I was just a little overwhelmed. It was just a dark time. But also I feel like those songs were like somewhat of a release for me,” LP says. These days, it’s as if LP has two successful careers: One writing songs for other folks, the other expressing herself in her own music—for instance, one of the songs from the new record, “Muddy Waters,” was used in the emotional final scene of Orange Is the New Black’s fourth season. “I’m focusing a little more on my stuff now, because I feel like I want to sing however I want to sing. I tone it down when I write for other people,” LP says. “I like to use my voice however the hell I want to use it these days. It doesn’t change my life on the daily, who I’m writing for. It just feels a little different, but I like it. I like a break from my own melodic style, my type of music. That helps me stay sharp and fresh.” INFO: 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $13/adv, $17/door. 479-1854.

Things are looking bad at Roosevelt High until Frederson Babbit promises new technology and efficiency. But with efficiency comes a cost, and soon privatization is on its way and hall monitors are wearing brown shirts and arm bands.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND PUFFBALL DANCE COLLECTIVE

Doug Dirt, bassist for the Puffball Dance Collective (as well as its founder), has a problem. He really likes playing dance music, but he also loves dancing—and he can’t do both at the same time. “In my heart of hearts, I’m a dancer. My biggest conflict is I want to be performing, and I want to be doubling myself and be dancing with all my friends. I really wish I could do that,” Dirt says.

AUGUST 3-9, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dirt created the Puffball Dance Collective to give people great dance music. The band plays tunes by Allman Brothers, the Dead, and Steely Dan, as well as some originals. It also jams these tunes out and infuses the songs with as much groove as possible.

Dirt also plays in the Banana Slug String Band and in Slugs N’ Roses. For this group, he assembled an ensemble of his favorite local players, guys he considers better musicians than he is. Currently the lineup includes David Cameron (guitar), Marc Sveen (guitar), Lachlann Kane (keys), and Covet Potter (drums). As for the band name, that’s all Dirt. Anyone that knows him is aware of his puffball obsession. What they may not realize, though, is that it’s an homage to his daughter. The two made a necklace of puffballs with a peace sign on it together 12 years ago when she was 7. He’s been wearing it every day since. “It’s on my passport, it’s on my driver’s license. It’s on many things. So the Puffball Dance Collective is in honor of the puffballs I wear, and all the band members are honorary puffball members,” Dirt says.

NEW BREED BRASS BAND

WEDNESDAY 8/3 PSYCH-ROCK

SPINDRIFT Described as a “psychedelic, Western-influenced, cinematic rock band,” Spindrift sounds like a dusty old cowboy movie as viewed through a kaleidoscopic, drug-fueled road trip that would make Hunter S. Thompson proud. With yodels and yips layered with hazy soundscapes, experimental noise and a variety of influences ranging from mariachi to arena rock, the music of Spindrift is unlike anything you’ve probably heard. If you’re into unpredictable, country-inspired, tripped-out rock, this band, which hails from Los Angeles by-way-of-Delaware, may be your new favorite thing. Also on the bill: Bay Area psychedelic outfit the Spiral Electric. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10/adv, $12/door. 335-2800.

BRASS FUNK

NEW BREED BRASS BAND With half of the nine members related to famous brass musicians, it’s not sur-

prising that these New Orleans natives are breaking out of Louisiana’s scene. What is surprising is the young age of the players and of the band itself, and the impressive ground they’ve covered in a short amount of time. They have a sizeable YouTube following, including a library of fan videos that depict New Breed’s raucous street performances, which seem to draw massive crowds without fail. Their sound is literally a “new breed”—a combination of funk, jazz, hip-hop and rock influences. In late July, three nights into a 30-show tour, all nine instruments were stolen out of their van in a hotel parking lot in Oregon, but they have soldiered on to finish the tour, thanks to borrowed instruments and fan donations.

THURSDAY 8/4 FOLK

is the perfect vehicle for her stories of sorrow, love and the natural world. A one-time Santa Cruzan who was born in Vermont and now calls Nashville home, Saunders is a fresh, quiet voice on the folk music scene. As one review put it, “[Y]ou could tell me that my house burned down, my car was stolen and my cat eloped and as long as she sang it to me, I’d still have to smile.” CJ INFO: 6:30 p.m. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel, $5-$10. 477-1341.

BE OUR GUEST ‘ORLANDO’ A beloved and long-running part of local Shakespeare festivities are the Fringe shows, and, to the delight of festival-goers, Santa Cruz Shakespeare has kept that tradition alive. This year, the production is Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, as adapted by award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl. The play follows the period-hopping, gender-bending journey of the protagonist Orlando, and his transformation from the 16th-century, male lover of Queen Elizabeth to a 20th-century female poet. For appreciators of satire, history, and pushing at the status quo, this is a mustsee. CAT JOHNSON WAVVES

MONDAY 8/8 JAZZ

MONSIEUR PERINE A product of the creatively roiling Bogota music scene, the Colombian band Monsieur Periné has evolved considerably over the past decade. Inspired by the Gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, the group recently hit on a winning formula combining the hot jazz Manouche sound with an array of Afro-Caribbean grooves (the band earned Best New Artist honors last year at the Latin Grammy Awards). Featuring the ebullient vocals of Catalina Garcia backed by the blazing tandem guitars of Santiago Prieto and Nicolas Junca, bassist Adinda Meertins, drummer Darwin Paez, percussionist

Miguel Guerra, saxophonist/clarinetist Jairo Alfonso, and Abstin Caviedes on trombone and bugle, Monsieur Periné boasts a big, joyous sound. The Django family tree has clearly put down roots in Colombia. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 427-2227.

INDIE-PUNK

WAVVES The story of Wavves is exactly the kind of thing that inspired thousands of young musicians every year to pick up the guitar. Leader Nathan Williams recorded tunes in his parents’ bedroom, and the next thing you know, he’s on Pitchfork, Spin, and A.V. Club. Williams wasn’t exactly prepared for the attention he got and suffered a few public breakdowns and some lackluster follow-ups. But he continues to come back, and, at his strongest he takes pop-punk fervor and mixes it with surf-pop bitter-sweetness. No matter who he’s enlisted to back him on any given record, he never seems to lose that bedroom intimacy that sounds like he’s revealing his deepest secrets. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20. 429-4135.

L.A.-based married couple Bridgette Moody and John Seasons call themselves Haunted Summer—a play on their last names that appropriately matches the duo’s ethereal sound. Brittle guitar blended with spacey synth, eerie vocals and the occasional clarinet: the resulting bedroom dream pop is hypnotic and the perfect soundtrack to a sleepy afternoon, or a mushroom trip in a meadow. Also on the bill are Subpar and Electric Magpie. KS

synthy-metal sound that they helped to carve in the late ’70s, early ’80s. The group broke up in 1983, and was more famous for the bands it spawned: Montrose and Night Ranger. You can really hear Night Ranger in those early Gamma recordings, but it’s heavier, darker, rawer, and just a little weirder. AC

FILM

LOVE BLOOMS Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg in Woody Allen’s new film ‘Café Society.’

Puttin’ On the Glitz AUGUST 3-9, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dreamy vision of Old Hollywood dished up in Woody Allen’s ‘Café Society’ BY LISA JENSEN

f Blue Jasmine was Woody Allen’s homage to A Streetcar Named Desire, then his latest, Café Society, evokes Casablanca, both in tone and romanticism. True, Allen’s film is set in the 1930s, not the ’40s; it takes place in Hollywood and New York City, not Paris, and there are no Nazis lurking about. But otherwise, this plays like a spiritual prequel to the classic Bogart movie, the kind of bittersweet story of young love that might come back to haunt the participants years later, after they’ve moved on. (It even ends up where Casablanca begins—in a nightclub.) Beautifully shot by veteran cinematagrapher Vittorio Storaro, at Old Hollywood locations all over

Los Angeles (including the Chinese and Los Feliz theaters, and several vintage Bel Air mansions), Café Society revolves around Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg). An innocent from one of Allen’s typically large, boisterous Jewish families from the Bronx, Bobby wants more out of life than working in his father’s factory. So his mother Rose (Jeannie Berlin) ships him off to her brother Phil Stern (Steve Carell), a hotshot Hollywood agent. Uncle Phil is too busy taking calls from movie stars and making deals to even see Bobby for three weeks, but finally hires him as an errand boy, then a script-reader. Phil assigns his personal assistant,

Vonnie (Kristen Stewart), to drive Bobby around and show him the town. Beautiful, level-headed Vonnie isn’t interested in the glitz and glamour of showbiz; she’d rather live at the beach and eat tacos in a cozy Mexican joint. Bobby is completely smitten with her, even though she tells him she has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, back in the Bronx, Bobby’s older brother Ben (Corey Stoll) is rising in the ranks of another business: the Mob. Stoll, so hilarious as Ernest Hemingway in Midnight In Paris, is just as impressive here; while Ben’s dubious activities are presented as comic sight gags, he personifies the darker side of the ’30s—although nobody clinking glasses at the

Hollywood pool parties Phil and Bobby frequent seems to have ever heard of Prohibition, let alone the Depression. The point is, Allen presents a romanticized vision of a 1930s that never was—except in the movies. (The same way Casablanca romanticized the wartime era, Nazis and all. And we know how obsessed Allen is with Casablanca, from Play it Again, Sam, right?) As a confection celebrating old-time Hollywood glamour, Café Society is pretty irresistible. Allen even coaxes warmth and humor out of the often-frosty Stewart, softened here in a wavy, auburn bob. Eisenberg does what every protagonist in an Allen movie (male or female) has done in the last 15 years or so: channel the youthful Woody. As a young naif in Hollywood, staying at the Ali Baba hotel, Bobby is too nervous to go through with it when he tries to hire a call-girl (a sweet Anna Camp)—especially when he finds out she’s a nice Jewish girl on her very first assignment. He’s a tender-hearted clown prince growing up into a smoothie running Ben’s New York City nightclub. But as dreamy as the movie looks, the storytelling doesn’t always hold up. Carell plays Phil with such slick, glad-handing verve, we keep expecting him to be exposed as some kind of opportunistic fraud. But, despite some ignoble decisions in his own romantic life, the character doesn’t have that extra dimension of complexity. Ditto Blake Lively as Veronica, a charming New Yorker Bobby meets after he moves back home. Lively is dazzling (Allen always makes his actresses look great), with plenty of panache in her brief scenes, but she disappears from the action almost as soon as she’s introduced, and the film moves on. But moving on is what Café Society is all about. Allen himself provides voice-over narration, setting the stage and filling in the blanks as the plot skips ahead to its final conclusion. As fresh and youthful as the central love story is, this is the work of a mature sensibility, a wistful meditation on choices made that invites us to ponder what might have been. CAFÉ SOCIETY *** (out of four) With Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carell, Kristen Stewart, Corey Stoll, and Blake Lively. Written and directed by Woody Allen. A Lionsgate release.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK GLEASON Steve Gleason was 34 when he was diagnosed with ALS. A former NFL defensive back and New Orleans hero, he didn’t let the fatal disease stand in his way, and instead created a video blog with all the advice and musings on life he could come up with to one day guide his newly born son. This documentary follows the football legend and his family through life, love and loss, from the moment he was first diagnosed through the stages of physical degradation, his wife’s pregnancy and son’s birth. Clay Tweel directs. Steve Gleason, Mike Gleason, and Scott Fujita co-star. (R) 110 minutes. NINE LIVES In case you were wondering why Kevin Spacey was teaching a master class on acting, watch him become a cat. That’s how good he is. Barry Sonnenfeld directs. Jennifer Garner and Robbie Amell costar. (PG) 87 minutes.

AUGUST 3-9, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

OUR LITTLE SISTER Three sisters living in their grandmother’s house in Japan process the death of their father, and with it, the surprise news of a fourth sister. Based on the Japanese josei manga Umimachi Diary by Akimi Yoshida, it’s a story not only about the human condition but also about how to overcome the sins of our fathers. Hirokazu Koreeda directs. Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, and Kaho co-star. (PG) 128 minutes. Japanese with English subtitles.

SUICIDE SQUAD Bad people do some good in a long-awaited superhero film with a cast that’ll tickle any dedicated comic-antihero fan’s fancy. Pretty sure that Jared Leto’s entire film career has been leading to playing the Joker. David Ayer directs. Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Viola Davis co-star. (PG-13) 130 minutes.

NOW PLAYING 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.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE The stars of the British cult TV hit reunite for a big-screen dose of snark. Maddie Fletcher directs. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks co-star. (R) 90 minutes. BAD MOMS From the writers of The Hangover, it’s the story every frustrated mother has at some time wanted to tell: nobody’s perfect, screw it all and watch it burn.

THE BFG Roald Dahl’s classic BFG brought to the screen with Mark Rylance as the beloved vegetarian giant. Steven Spielberg directs. Rebecca Hall and Bill Hader co-star. (PG) 117 minutes.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Raising his six children to be philosopher kings in the forest of the Pacific West, Viggo Mortensen is thrown back into the harsh truth of the real world when his wife suddenly passes away. Matt Ross directs. Frank Langella and Kathryn Hahn co-star. (R) 118 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. EAT THAT QUESTION: FRANK ZAPPA IN HIS OWN WORDS “Zappa has often been seen to be a force of cultural darkness, bearded and gross and filthy, entirely obscene, a Mephistophelian figure serving as a lone brutal reminder of music’s potential for invoking chaos and destruction.”That’s what Time magazine said about Frank Zappa,

now see what Zappa has to say on the subject of himself. Thorsten Schütte directs. Frank Zappa, Steve Allen, and Angel co-star. (R) 93 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. GENIUS Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney—oh my! Jude’s southern accent though … Michael Grandage directs. (PG-13) 104 minutes. GHOSTBUSTERS After what feels like a very long year of advertising for this film, the highly anticipated and even more highly criticized all-female reboot of the franchise is finally available to be ripped apart by every Ghostbusters fan, ever (RIP Harold Ramis). Any film with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon can’t be too bad, right? Right? We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Paul Feig directs. (PG-13) 116 minutes. HUNT FOR THE WILDER PEOPLE Ricky was raised on hip-hop and foster care and is adorably defiant. He’s pure hip-hop, or at least that’s how he sees himself, so when he decides to run away into the New Zealand brush, he’s all gangsta kangaroo and stuff. Thankfully, his adoptive uncle (the ever-stoic Sam Neill) finds him and decides to join in on giving society a big middle finger and run away for good. From the director of What We Do in the Shadows and Boy, Taika Waititi. Julian Dennison and Rima Te Wiata co-star. (PG-13) 101 minutes. ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE Considering it’s been fourteen years since the first one came out, it might be time for the Ice Age franchise to come to an end. How exactly do you fight off a meteor anyway? Galen T. Chu and Mike Thurmeier direct. Stephanie Beatriz, Robert Cardone, Neil deGrasse Tyson co-star. (PG) 94 minutes. THE INFILTRATOR From smalltown meth drug lord to a grumpy blacklisted screenwriter, Bryan

Cranston now emerges as an undercover narcotics officer (obviously the next in the natural progression of roles) in Florida, circa 1986, who gets deep into the moneylaundering scheme of none other than Pablo Escobar. Brad Furman directs. John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger co-star. (R) 127 minutes. JASON BOURNE There’s a new program and Jason Bourne knows everything! Wait … that sounds familiar. This time though, he remembers who he really is (“I’m a real boy!”) and Alicia Vikander and bigger bang bangs and—who even cares, Jason Bourne is baaack. Paul Greengrass directs. Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, and Alicia Vikander co-star. (PG-13) 123 minutes. THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Man has midlife crisis, is disillusioned with life in the big city and a nagging wife, returns to the jungle to finally get some peace and quiet. David Yates directs. Margot Robbie, Alexander Skarsgård, Ella Purnell co-star. (PG13) 109 minutes. LIFE, ANIMATED At 3 years old, Owen vanished. But even after receiving Owen’s autism diagnosis, Owen’s family finds a surprising way to get through to him and their new language provides a channel for him to express love, kinship, loss, and brotherhood. Roger Ross Williams directs. Jonathan Freeman, Gilbert Gottfried, Owen Suskind co-star. (PG) 89 minutes. MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES The fact that Brosef McBroferston himself, Zac Efron (who also rides sharks in his spare time) is in this is negated by the presence of the genius magical-unicorn life force that is Aubrey Plaza. You may proceed. Jake Szymanski directs. Adam Devine and Anna Kendrick costar. (R) 98 minutes. MUSIC OF STRANGERS: YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD Internationally beloved cellist Yo-Yo Ma brings together musicians from all over the world to explore their philosophies on music, culture, life, and meaning. GT film reviewer Lisa Jensen gives it three-and-half stars out of four: read her piece in our July 6 issue. Morgan

Neville directs. (PG-13) 96 minutes. OUR KIND OF TRAITOR It must be a good week for the Skarsgård family: son Alexander is Tarzan in the aforementioned big-budget remake, and father Stellan plays a desperate Russian oligarch who seeks help from a couple on vacation (Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris) in this film. We are totally OK with this Swedish invasion. Susanna White directs. Damian Lewis co-stars. (R) 107 minutes. LIGHTS OUT This horror movie about creepies who only appear in darkness (and are scared off by the light) is winning over fans, but from the trailer it’s clear—and kind of funny—how much the filmmakers have to cheat on the idea of the monsters only coming out in “darkness.” Because, you know, if they were true to their premise, there wouldn’t be a whole lot to look at. David F. Sandberg directs. Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, and Maria Bello co-star. (PG-13) 81 minutes. NERVE While at first glance this could look like just a bunch of pretty young people running around a city, at second look, Nerve might be more of a dark, twisted, antics-of-youth-fueled Hunger Games-type thriller. It’s also from the directors of Paranormal Activity 3, so you know something weird is going to go down. Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman direct. Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, Emily Meade co-star. (PG-13) 96 minutes. THE PURGE: ELECTION DAY Rick and Morty’s version is probably better. James DeMonaco directs. Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo, Mykelti Williamson co-star. (R) 105 minutes. THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS The only way we could be more excited about an entire animated film about what pets do when their masters are away is if Liam Hemsworth was in it. Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney direct. Jenny Slate, Albert Brooks, Kevin Hart costar. (PG) 90 minutes. STAR TREK: BEYOND Eyebrows. Space. That guy from Harold and Kumar. Explosions. More eyebrows. Space explosions! Justin Lin directs. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

Queen of Tart

Tabitha Stroup of Friend in Cheeses adds pop tarts to upcoming pop-up, plus the Waiters Race BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he who never sleeps, the wild woman of artisanal, handcrafted and good-forthe-planet jams, chutneys and sauces—Tabitha Stroup—takes the next step in pop-up cuisine by offering pop tarts at her next pop-up next to Assembly. Yes, she absolutely planned that marvelous bit of rhyming wordplay—pop tarts at the pop-up. So pop over on First Friday, Aug. 5, for Stroup’s amazing vintage stylings. To pair with glasses of bubbly or beer, you can look forward to forbidden fruit marmalade and bacon tart with bourbon glaze. How post-millennial, no? Consider

strawberry tarragon and chevre tarts. Pinot cherry tarts with black pepper glaze. Pork pâté tarts and prickly purple-heart jam. The pop queen will add a few more surprises for inquiring first Fridayers, but I’m thinking this sort of popular event will be populated early by those bored with popcorn and other predictable items. Things start popping at 5 p.m. and will continue until every last pop tart is gone. Details on Stroup’s Facebook page and at friendincheesesjamco.com.

GLUTEN-FREE FRONT The quest for ever-more palatable

gluten-free products has us combing the waterfront (that’s a metaphor) for items we can live with. A shoutout to Felix Kulpa gallery director Robbie Schoen who, having read of my quest for all things senza di gluten, surprised me with a gift loaf of gluten-free, 100-percent whole-grain bread from Canyon Bakehouse. It’s available in Staff of Life’s refrigerator section, and sure enough this seven-grain version acts very much like gluteny bread when toasted and liberally attacked by butter and jam. The slices are small, perishable (two days and challenges begin), but better than merely

I can absolutely swear that I’ve never written these words before: “whatever you do, don’t miss the maple-glazed doughnut!” But I mean it. Bantam’s artisanal culinary style has never been better showcased than with the final, barely legal bite we shared at last Saturday’s brunch. Nothing is ordinary at this attractive glass-lined restaurant. My companion’s decaf coffee was custom-made in a Chemex glass unit, while I sipped my industrialstrength Verve java served with little brown sugar cubes. Only work responsibilities in the afternoon prevented us from joining fellow brunchers for a flute of Sommariva Prosecco. Another time, sigh. We began with a pretty plate of heirloom tomatoes and crunchy, moist, fried house bread on a bed of soft, sensuous burrata with bits of Armenian cucumber and basil ($11). Easily my favorite dish of the morning, this update of panzanella hit all the right spots—indulgent, exploding with flavor and perfect as a complete breakfast. But the glazed doughnut— actually it could be properly described as a frosted yeast doughnut—arrived with its hole (also glazed) on the side. Each bite was rich and light yet substantial. An artisanal update of the people’s pastry and worth every bit of its, ahem, $7, pricetag. Gluten worth consuming. Bantam, brunch, 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Cheeseburgers start at noon.

Rare

Grab olallieberries where you can after brief season BY LILY STOICHEFF

discovered olallieberries at Swanton Berry Farm one weekend when I was in college. One Saturday, we turned a few miles south of Davenport at the yellow pick-up truck carrying a comically large wooden strawberry, and my old, low-bottomed Acura crawled up the dirt drive toward the farm stand. We stopped in to see what sort of instructions we needed to gain entry to their U-Pick organic strawberry fields, and were quickly distracted by a roomful of tasty delights. Amidst the cheesecakes, pies and dozens of preserves, a squat jar of olallieberry jam made me stop—What the heck was an olallieberry? Spooning a healthy purple dollop onto an animal cracker, I discovered this special fruit for the first time. Its deep color and flavor reminded me of the blackberries I used to pick as a kid in the foothills outside of Yosemite, but with the tartness of a raspberry. It turns out that this hybrid, with Logan and Young berry ancestry, is delicate, finicky and does not ship well. As a result, olallieberries can only be found at a few places along the West Coast, cultivated by die-hards who have fallen in love with their romantic flavor. Santa Cruz happens to be one of those

places, and their brief appearance at farmers markets in July and August has become one of the highlights of summer. Although the U-Picks at Swanton Berry Farm and Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville are closed—the season was especially brief and modest this year due to the drought and other seasonal factors—you can still find their enigmatic flavor around town in the form of pies, jams and even popsicles from said farms. For the over-21 crowd, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing’s seasonal O’Berry Ale is available at the taproom in the Swift Street Courtyard. This refreshing, pink-hued American-style wheat beer is crisp and clean with a hint of that beloved sweet summer flavor, and, like its namesake, is only available for a limited time.

MEAL ON THE RANCH

Monkeyflower Ranch and Garden Variety Cheese are hosting a fivecourse dinner on the farm outside of Watsonville on Sunday, Aug. 14. The meal is a collaboration with the chef and spirit masters of the event company Street_Social, and will feature homemade cocktails, the Ranch’s carefully raised pork and handmade cheeses. Tickets are $80 and available at gardenvarietycheese.com.

here is nothing like sharing good wine with family and friends, which is exactly what I did with the bountiful Beauregard Vineyards Pinot Noir 2013, Santa Cruz Mountains ($40). I made a typical Greek meal of stuffed squash, served with a Greek salad, and cracked open the Pinot for everyone to try. It got high marks from all. Made with Ryan Beauregard’s skillful hand, this is a Pinot to be reckoned with. Grapes were harvested in September 2013 and then aged in 20-percent new French oak until bottling in August 2015. The result is an absolutely stunning ruby-red Pinot. “The nose is delicate and a touch spicy with oak aromas,” says Beauregard, including “red cherry, fresh-picked strawberry, pomegranate, wet roses, sandalwood, wood chips, and various baking spices” to its flavor notes. Fruit-forward flavors of cranberry and pomegranate seeds linger on the palate, but best of all are the abundant earthy hints of

grape stems, wet herbs and spicy French oak. Beauregard suggests keeping the wine until 2017 to “experience its best moments,” but I will simply buy another bottle next year. Beauregard Vineyards, 10 Pine Flat Road, Santa Cruz, 425-7777, beauregardvineyards.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES HELIACAL RISING OF SIRIUS

In ancient Egypt, the annual flooding of the Nile occurred as Sirius, the blue-white star left of Orion, became visible just before sunrise. This is called the Heliacal (Greek, near the Sun; helios means “Sun”) rising of Sirius—a flashing forth of the light of Sirius at pre-dawn before the Sun appears. Rising before the Sun and over the dome of the sky, Sirius rising and the Nile’s floodwaters (helping grow food for the year) appeared simultaneously. The Pyramids (Temples of Initiation) were built to align with Sirius. A sculpture of Isis, aligned with the rising of Sirius, stood in the Egyptian temples. On her forehead a jewel was placed. As Sirius flashed forth in the pre-dawn sky, its light touched the jewel of Isis and it began to sparkle and glow. Soon, the Nile would overflow. And the Egyptian new year began. The days (heliacal rising) of Sirius (July 3-Aug. 11) are called the Dog days (Sirius is located in the

system Canis, Major, Great Dog) of summer (also the hottest days for northern latitudes). Sirius, the star of freedom, both oversees and was behind the founding of the United States. Sirius is where love originates; a love that flows through Leo into the hearts of humanity. Make contact with Sirius and love is released. Christ, the World Teacher, is from Sirius. Upon completing our Earth (a cosmic school), journey, seven cosmic paths appear for us to choose from. One is the Path to Sirius (Path of Electric Fire). Sirius is a binary star, which means there are actually two stars. In Mali, West Africa, the Dogon tribe has known of Sirius and its companion star Sirius B (Po Tolo, Seed of Creation). The Dogon’s source of information was the Nommo, amphibious beings from Sirius. Night Light News (our website), is named after Sirius B.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

It’s important to recognize what you know. It is a gift to be shared with others. You can be strong-willed, driven by self-confidence and authority. However, your fire soon burns out, your attention shifted elsewhere. It’s important to acknowledge others’ beliefs and points of view, allowing others to share their accomplishments. Then you become a true leader for others to learn from.

Your professional work of service is your Vesta lamp. Its light fills you with confidence and well-being. You’ve worked hard, gained success and status, climbed every step of the ladder. You've been generous with knowledge, time and skills. You rule with order and ethics. You have pride in your work and the many life decisions you made. It’s also essential to remember those who helped along the way, always loving you.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Aug. 3, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You remember many things about family and friends. Each memory has a message. Don’t allow other people’s beliefs, criticisms or behaviors deter you from your mission. Identify with your own thinking and intuition. It’s important to feel secure with the information you present to others. However, do not present ideas to those who will either appropriate it or test you with it. Maintain protection.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Your mind quickens with curiosity and creative expressions. Take a walk-about into neighborhoods. Interact with the five kingdoms. People will want to talk with you. Listen to what’s behind their words. Notice indecision. It reflects the dual nature of our world. Careful with distractions and finish what you’ve begun. Do only what keeps your mind interested and focused. You’re to initiate intelligent, heart-centered conversations.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Scorpios learn the underbelly (hidden realities) of life, which develops a keen awareness of sorrow and pain, death and betrayal, leading to trust and mistrust. You have a sense of ethics and justice for everyone. Your most important tasks are uncovering life’s mysteries and the truth of the matter. Then self-identity emerges. Knowing what you know, you could rule the world. You also know the dangers. Hillary is Scorpio.

Your values, sense of tradition and willingness to explore new realities have always been sources of strength. As you share your values and resources with others, subtle changes occur in your life. All hidden gifts come to the light. Remember anger, sadness, conflict and chaos all present us with messages. Learn to understand them. If overtired and overwhelmed, take a respite. Contemplate these things. With another.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Sometimes, in learning to understand relationships, we allow others to have more power. Eventually we become disheartened with this situation wondering what’s wrong. It’s not good for you to be in the shadows. You need freedom, excitement, love and consistency. Then you begin to trust and settle down. It’s good that others recognize your leadership skills. You bring the future to humanity.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

You’re able to communicate with angels, devas and unseen beings. Devas are the angelic builders living in nature. As you contact them new ideas begin to be impressed. Intuition expands. Use your imagination and visualization to create the world you seek to live in. Listen carefully to what others believe and value. Do they correspond with your values? Our minds change when we learn more.

Soon you sit at the helm, become the organizer, the achiever, the advisor with the rules and a time watch. Few see the importance for responsible qualities. You will go in and out of everything falling away, disappearing and appearing again. Place your entire heart into your work. Visualize and imagine, draw and paint, in detail, your perfect life and how to seek to serve. Then the petals of your heart unfold. Twelve petals.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

It’s important to ponder deeply upon essential decisions you need to make. You must have all the facts and be practical while proceeding slowly. There’s value in taking your time, contemplating different choices. This allows for deliberation on final decisions. Determination colors your actions. You’re developing a greater level of concentration. Concentration is the first level of meditation (the Leo level).

Your voice is at times stronger, serious and more practical, and at other times, more spontaneous than usual. You might say things you don’t mean or didn’t consider. Your tone may have changed, too. Notice any arguments, competition, irritability, impatience and impulsiveness occurring. Concentration (Leo’s way of meditation) may seem impossible so you make quick decisions. All these observations help you get to the heart of all that matters.

Third Annual

In the past years, you’ve gained strength, expanded borders, extended horizons, and projected yourself into new fields, making yourself better. You lead others through dramatic stories, explanations, long journeys, your eyes always on the prize (mountaintops ahead). Your love of heritage and family produced a true self-identity. Remain calm. When you overdo, overdramatize, consequences result. Don’t let your crown slip.

CHRISTA MERCADO, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Admin assistant, UCSC Hobbies: Family hikes, bike riding, crocheting, reading, cooking, volunteering Astrological Sign: Pisces

DEVA MERCADO, 25-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Network administrator, NHS Hobbies: Fishing, disk golf, playing with kids, huge SF Giants fan, cooking/barbecuing Astrological Sign: Aries What do you like to cook? DEVA: “I really enjoy using my smoker for ribs, pork shoulder, and more. We also do Mexican and Italian food, and I like to bake.” CHRISTA: “I love making heart-warming comfort food such as stews, soups, jambalaya, and casseroles. We're big fans of the meat department. I love how everything is so fresh and that I can choose the cut that I want. The butchers are knowledgable and will slice things to order, like very thin for Philly cheesesteaks.” DEVA: “It’s great talking Giants baseball with some of the guys. They're just really friendly, and I appreciate the banter.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is a vital part of the community.”

How so? DEVA: “It's a neighborhood hub where people come together and shop. Our kids, Ayden and Aubrey, like coming here because of the good food and very friendly staff.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is not just for families. I know quite a few chefs and personal chefs because of all the cooking we do, and this is the only market where they'll shop.” DEVA: “Everything is better at Shopper's.” CHRISTA: “I like that the produce is always fresh and I can go conventional or organic. Shopper's brings in some of the more gourmet herbs and spices.” DEVA: “They carry great local products such as Roberto's salsas, Santa Cruz Roasting coffees, Polar Bear ice cream, and Donnelley's chocolates, to name a few.”

Do you get good value for money spent here? DEVA: “Shopper’s is competitively priced when compared to the big box stores, and the quality of everything is so much better. If you’re looking for specialty products, you won’t find them cheaper… ” CHRISTA: “People who think Shopper’s is expensive don’t shop here, so I set them straight. It’s not just a gourmet or high-end store. Shopper’s has options for every department and every product.” DEVA: “It really is one-stop shopping.” CHRISTA: “I like that I know where everything is, but it’s also a fun a experience discovering new things I haven’t yet tried. I run into people I know every time I shop here. Shopper’s feel like home.”

“People who think Shopper’s is expensive don’t shop here, so I set them straight. Shopper’s has options for every department and every product.”
