EDITOR’S NOTE
MAY 3-9, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
In 2015, Geoffrey Dunn and Kim Stoner wrote a cover story for GT about the three Hawaiian princes—David Kawananakoa, Edward Keliiahonui and Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana’ole—who came to Santa Cruz and gave locals, as reported in the press in July of 1885, “interesting exhibitions of surf-board swimming as practiced in their native islands.” Dunn and Stoner had been researching and writing about the importance of this moment in not just our local history, but the history of surfing in this country, for a long time, but this article came out in conjunction with two of the redwood longboards the princes surfed that day returning to Santa Cruz as part of a MAH exhibit. That issue of GT was hugely

popular—people still bring it up to me—and the exhibit went on to be the MAH’s most successful ever. But Dunn and Stoner’s work on bringing attention to this previously overlooked part of Santa Cruz’s cultural history didn’t stop, and sometimes it manifests results in unexpected ways. That’s where this week’s cover story comes in. Dunn writes about Kyle Gilmore, a man of Hawaiian decent who—through Dunn and Stoner’s work—discovered the story of the three princes and of Antoinette “Akoni” Swan, an immigrant of royal Hawaiian lineage who played a critical role in their story. That set in motion a visit by Gilmore to Swan’s grave, which he discovered remains unmarked despite her legacy. The effort on Gilmore’s part to right that wrong is at the heart of this piece about Swan’s legacy, and it’s a tribute to the power of cultural pride—and of storytelling, as well.

BIRTH HAPPENS
ELIZABETH YZNAGA, CNM, DNP | SANTA CRUZ
Matt Weir’s article “Born Free” (GT, 3/8) was an uplifting story about birth in Santa Cruz, and the timing was fortuitous. Kate [Bowland] is a member of our “Birth Happens in Santa Cruz County” project popping up May 19 at MAH’s Third Friday History Jam. We are examining newborn customs starting with the Ohlone people, birth places in Santa Cruz County, maternal outcomes, and birth attendants. We have been trading historical midwifery stories during our planning meetings. Kate’s dedication to preserve homebirth options gave everyone courage. Your editor, Steve Palopoli, was right: Kate is my “new Santa Cruz hero.” The midwives continue to be cultural disruptors. From the Museum of Art & History’s website: “Learn about Santa Cruz’s birth history over the last 150 years, focusing on the limited recordings of births performed by midwives, with the Birth Happens in Santa Cruz County: Customs, Places, and Cultures project. Map out your birth place, share your story, and experience the different environments midwives have
LEAVE BIKES AT HOME In your mountain biking article (GT, 3/28), a bike group leader says, “We didn’t have enough legal trails to satisfy that [biking] user group.” How’s that stack up against the satisfaction of other “user groups”—like the birds and animals whose remaining habitats would be more and more fractured and overrun by additional bike-only trails in Pogonip? Or walkers who already anxiously hug the edges of existing trails in Wilder Ranch, and keep their children close, so they won’t be run down by the considerable minority of bikers who bomb down the hills at high speed? Mountain bikes should be kept out of Pogonip, and out of new parklands at Coast Dairies/Cotoni National Monument and San Vicente Redwoods. All people are, or will be, invited to visit and enjoy those places. Just leave the highspeed machines at home. There’s no more room for them. ALEXANDER GAGUINE | SANTA CRUZ

Groups like the California Native Plant Society are always toiling with the invasive broom plant, trying to get it out of local greenspaces. Not to miss out on the fun, the Santa Cruz Water Department is having its own “Broom Bash” at the Loch Lomond Recreation Area, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 6. Volunteers will help pull as many French broom plants as possible before they go to seed. For more information, contact arichman@cityofsantacruz.com.
Some young filmmakers have something to put on their résumés, now that they’ve won cash from the Save Water Coalition, which awarded a total of $3,900 in prizes to nine teams. The coalition announced five first place winners in two categories—water conservation and pollution prevention—and two languages, English and Spanish. In a range of formats, the shorts cover themes like car-washing tips, as well as when and what to flush down the toilet. Visit watersavingtips.org to watch the videos.

Beware of feeling sorry for sharks that yell for help. Beware of trusting coyotes that act like sheep and sheep that act like coyotes. Beware of nibbling food from jars whose contents are different from what their labels suggest. But wait! “Beware” is not my only message for you. I have these additional announcements: Welcome interlopers if they’re humble and look you in the eyes. Learn all you can from predators and pretenders without imitating them. Take advantage of any change that’s set in motion by agitators who shake up the status quo, even if you don’t like them.
In addition to fashion tips, advice for the broken-hearted, midlife-crisis support, and career counseling, I sometimes provide you with more mystical help. Like now. So if you need nuts-and-bolts guidance, I hope you’ll have the sense to read a more down-to-earth horoscope. What I want to tell you is that the metaphor of resurrection is your featured theme. You should assume that it’s somehow the answer to every question. Rejoice in the knowledge that although a part of you has died, it will be reborn in a fresh guise.

When poet Wislawa Szymborska delivered her speech for winning the Nobel Prize, she said that “whatever else we might think of this world—it is astonishing.” She added that for a poet, there really is no such thing as the “ordinary world,” “ordinary life,” and “the ordinary course of events.” In fact, “Nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world.” I offer you her thoughts, Taurus, because I believe that in the next two weeks you will have an extraordinary potential to feel and act on these truths. You are hereby granted a license to be astonished on a regular basis.
"Are you ready for the genie’s favors? Don’t rub the magic lamp unless you are." That’s the message I saw on an Instagram meme. I immediately thought of you. The truth is that up until recently, you have not been fully prepared for the useful but demanding gifts the genie could offer you. You haven’t had the self-mastery necessary to use the gifts as they’re meant to be used, and therefore they were a bit dangerous to you. But that situation has changed. Although you may still not be fully primed, you’re as ready as you can be. That’s why I say: RUB THE MAGIC LAMP!
GEMINI May21–June20
You may have heard the exhortation “Follow your bliss!”, which was popularized by mythologist Joseph Campbell. After studying the archetypal stories of many cultures throughout history, he concluded that it was the most important principle driving the success of most heroes. Here’s another way to say it: Identify the job or activity that deeply excites you, and find a way to make it the center of your life. In his later years, Campbell worried that too many people had misinterpreted “Follow your bliss” to mean “Do what comes easily.” That’s all wrong, he said. Anything worth doing takes work and struggle. “Maybe I should have said, ‘Follow your blisters,’” he laughed. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you are now in an intense “Follow your blisters” phase of following your bliss.
Would you consider enrolling in my Self-Pity Seminar? If so, you would learn that obsessing on self-pity is a means to an end, not a morass to get lost in. You would feel sorry for yourself for brief, intense periods so that you could feel proud and brave the rest of the time. For a given period—let’s say three days—you would indulge and indulge and indulge in self-pity until you entirely exhausted that emotion. Then you’d be free to engage in an orgy of self-healing, self-nurturing, and self-celebration. Ready to get started? Ruminate about the ways that people don’t fully appreciate you.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 In a typical conversation, most of us utter too many “uhs,” “likes,” “I means,” and “you knows.” I mean, I’m sure that . . . uh . . . you’ll agree that, like, what’s the purpose of, you know, all that pointless noise? But I have some good news to deliver about your personal use of language in the coming weeks, Cancerian. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to dramatically lower your reliance on needless filler. But wait, there’s more: Clear thinking and precise speech just might be your superpowers. As a result, your powers of persuasion should intensify. Your ability to advocate for your favorite causes may zoom.

In 1668, England named John Dryden its first Poet Laureate. His literary influence was so monumental that the era in which he published was known as the Age of Dryden. Twentieth-century poetry great T. S. Eliot said he was “the ancestor of nearly all that is best in the poetry of the 18th century.” Curiously, Dryden had a low opinion of Shakespeare. "Scarcely intelligible," he called the Bard, adding, "His whole style is so pestered with figurative expressions that it is as affected as it is coarse." I foresee a comparable clash of titans in your sphere, Leo. Two major influences may fight it out for supremacy. One embodiment of beauty may be in competition with another. One powerful and persuasive force could oppose another. What will your role be? Mediator? Judge? Neutral observer? Whatever it is, be cagey.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Just this once, and for a limited time only, you have cosmic clearance to load up on sugary treats, leave an empty beer can in the woods, watch stupid TV shows, and act uncool in front of the Beautiful People. Why? Because being totally well-behaved and perfectly composed and strictly pure would compromise your mental health more than being naughty. Besides, if you want to figure out what you are on the road to becoming, you will need to know more about what you’re not.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The versatile artist Melvin Van Peebles has enjoyed working as a filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, composer, and novelist. One of his more recent efforts was a collaboration with the experimental band the Heliocentrics. Together they created a science-fiction-themed spoken-word poetry album titled The Last Transmission. Peebles told NPR, “I haven’t had so much fun with clothes on in years.” If I’m reading the planetary omens correctly Capricorn, you’re either experiencing that level of fun, or will soon be doing so.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In what ways do you most resemble your mother? Now is a good time to take inventory. Once you identify any mom-like qualities that tend to limit your freedom or lead you away from your dreams, devise a plan to transform them. You may never be able to defuse them entirely, but there’s a lot you can do to minimize the mischief they cause. Be calm but calculating in setting your intention, Aquarius! P.S.: In the course of your inventory, you may also find there are ways you are like your mother that are of great value to you. Is there anything you could do to more fully develop their potential?
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “We are what we imagine,” writes Piscean author N. Scott Momaday. “Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine who and what we are. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined.” Let’s make this passage your inspirational keynote for the coming weeks. It’s a perfect time to realize how much power you have to create yourself through the intelligent and purposeful use of your vivid imagination. (P.S. Here’s a further tip, this time from Cher: “All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.”)
Homework: Which of your dead ancestors would you most like to talk to? Imagine a conversation with one of them.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: MOUNTAIN BIKING With all the energy the MBoSC seems to have for expanding the number of new MB trails in Santa Cruz County, they would greatly improve their PR efforts if they were to concentrate on repairing the many eroded single-track hiking-only trails in Nisene Marks SP that have been illegally ridden by mountain bikers over the years. While they’re at it, they could also decommission the many illegal MB trails hacked into that forest. Calling the park’s deed restrictions “problematic” for mountain bikers is
disingenuous. We are all stewards of the land, whether it’s located in a state, city, or county park. If one of the parks has a rule about bikes, we should all respect the rule. — LIZ
It always “pleases” me to see Celia Scott pontificate upon the importance of a “natural preserve,” and her blatant disregard for history as well as nature. The club house is going to shambles, trucks are allowed on the fire roads, homeless campers still abound in Pogonip. A biker, the root of all evil. — JESUS LA PRIMAVERA

NEWS HANDLE WITH FLAIR One man built a bike to ride along railroad tracks. Can he do that?
MAY 3-9, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY MAT WEIR

“Both of these have recorded hundreds of miles,” Nerf says with a jovial smile, trying to be reassuring as he tightens a few bolts to his homemade vehicle, along a rail corridor. My face must be conveying an air of trepidation as I gawk at the strange contraption he suggests that I ride. He adds, “Women and children have ridden these, and no one has ever gotten hurt.” Although it looks shaky, the rail bike is surprisingly sturdy. Nerf—who asked that we refer to him by his surf name—shows me how to shift gears. He makes sure I lean in a little, to keep it balanced. “Finally,” he adds, “make sure you do this,” as he gives the horn a couple of loud squeezes. From his “rail bike,” Nerf is able to see a side of the coast most commuters never do. At the front and back of his bikes—Nerf built two, using his welding skills and a little creativity—are wooden mounts that lock inline skate wheels on one rail. Aluminum support beams reach the opposite rail to help the quirky vehicle maintain balance and speed. He has two models, a recumbent version and a more traditional street bike, and estimates neither ride cost much more than $200 total to build. The bikes glide over the rails with ease, smoothly carrying us from the Simpkins Family Swim Center to the harbor in minutes. Car commuters stare in fascination, and one pedestrian even hails us down to check out the bikes and take a short ride himself—a common occurrence, Nerf says. Nerf first learned of the idea in the early 1980s, while reading an article about dentist Dick Smart, from Idaho, who had built his own rail bike. “I thought, ‘I’ve got to meet this guy!’” Nerf remembers. “He was very open to what he was doing and gave me a ride.” Although the ride with Smart was Nerf’s first rail bike experience, it was not his first time riding the rails. Born and raised in Sacramento, he attended college at UC Davis, where he swam and played on the water polo team. It was also where he began jumping freight cars with his teammates when the trains stopped outside of the college town. Unlike >14
HOMEGROWN INSECURITY Attorneys say anyone who isn’t a citizen should avoid admitting that they’ve ever used cannabis.
Toke Hold
For immigrants, pot is still a serious risk BY TOM GOGOLA
F
ederal efforts to ramp up deportations and crack down on cannabis could have profound implications on any noncitizens who grow or smoke—even for medical reasons. A case now making its way through court is illustrative of the dilemma. Sebastopol cannabis attorney Omar Figueroa is defending an undocumented man faced with deportation for growing cannabis in Northern California. To defend his client, Figueroa enlisted an immigration lawyer to write a letter to the prosecutor “explaining why a misdemeanor marijuana conviction, which may not have been a big deal in the Obama years, would be a nightmare these days,” Figueroa says via email.
Over the past decade, noncitizens were encouraged out of the shadows under President Barack Obama’s so-called Dreamers’ initiative, while a societal shift toward cannabis acceptance coaxed legacy growers out of the shadows in California and elsewhere. Now anyone who is a noncitizen and a cannabis user or grower can face permanent expulsion under new directives from President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that call on prosecutors to throw the book at them. Where Obama pushed for prosecutorial discretion in deference to a humane view of the immigrant experience in America—and not tearing apart families in the
process—Trump has flipped the call for discretion to a bullhorn urging maximum punishment for the undocumented. It’s something that could even impact those in the country legally, says Santa Cruz cannabis attorney Ben Rice. “It would be really easy for any noncitizens to misunderstand Prop 64, which legalized recreational pot in California. There’s very little value in it to them. It’s a trap in that way because few understand that the California law doesn’t protect them from federal prohibition,” says Rice, insisting that no noncitizen should tell a border or immigration official that they have ever tried pot. “They don’t even have to be caught smoking, or using, or growing. All they need to do >12

would cause him to be permanently exiled from the United States. “For that reason, it is imperative that [he] not be convicted of any of these offenses,” the letter reads. “If he were so convicted, even the existence of his citizen spouse would not be sufficient to qualify him for residency. He would be permanently inadmissible.” Throw in a couple of executive orders from Trump, and the immigration consequences of even a single count of simple possession “would be extremely dire,” the letter continues as it lays out the new Trump push to get prosecutors to participate more forcefully when there’s an opportunity to deport someone. On Jan. 25, Trump issued the executive order “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,” which directs executive federal agencies to execute immigration laws and to make use of all available systems and resources to do so. The bottom line, says the unnamed immigration lawyer: “It is extremely likely that significant numbers of noncitizens, >16

He is married to an American citizen, has two children with her and was in the process of “applying for his lawful permanent residency,” according to a version of the immigration attorney’s letter. The client was arrested on cultivation and possession for sale of cannabis, and was offered a plea deal where he’d cop to a single possession charge of over 28.5 grams (one ounce) of pot. The letter implores the unidentified district attorney to drop the pot charges altogether, since any conviction could lead to his permanent removal from the United States. (All identifying information has been redacted from the letter, including the name of the immigration attorney who wrote it, and the client.) The letter acknowledges that ICE officials would make the call on any removal proceedings and urges prosecutors to not give ICE anything
more to work with as it details the harsh dictates coming from the Trump administration that go beyond established immigration law as it intersects with drug policy. Under federal drug-scheduling rules, cannabis remains listed as a controlled substance with no medicinal value—and under DHS rules, any possession of any “controlled substance” by a noncitizen is itself enough to prompt a deportation proceeding. If Figueroa’s client is convicted on drug charges and deported by ICE, his application for permanent residency becomes a moot issue, since “in order to be granted residency he must be admissible to enter the United States,” reads the immigration-lawyer letter. “There are three possible grounds of inadmissibility that could be implicated as the result of the disposition of his criminal matter,” it continues, and if any apply, he would never be able to be granted residency. Under existing immigration law, any conviction for an offense related to a federally defined “controlled substance”

HEALTH IN A HANDBASKET Bill Meade remembers the early days of filming a movie that would become What the Health, which has its Santa Cruz premiere at the Nick on Wednesday, May 17 at 7 p.m. “When we started with it, we thought we were just going to get the latest thinking on health,” says Meade, an associate producer who lives in Santa Cruz County. The filmmakers spoke with more than a dozen doctors to pick their brains about healthy living, diet and new trends, he says, before then going to check in with some leaders in the healthcare industry. The filmmakers pretty much got the door slammed in their faces.
“If that’s where you want to go with this, I’m sorry—I can’t help you,” a white-haired man tells writer/director Kip Andersen, as the filmmaker confusedly looks down at his notes inside a corporate office in the movie’s trailer. The filming process soon veered, and as much as anything, the documentary became one about the healthcare industry’s deep-pocketed, callous indifference to the problems that actually ail people, says Meade, who stimulated major fundraising and provided guidance for the project. Among its many experts, What the Health—which currently has a 9/10 rating on IMDB—also features nutritionbased doctor Michael Klaper, who used to practice in Santa Cruz.
The film explores the rise of cancer, diabetes and other chronic diseases—as well as the roles of the pharmaceutical industry, major health organizations and big money. “If there’s one concern I’ve heard about the film, it’s that it has so many facts in it, it can be overwhelming,” Meade says. The film is being dubbed into three languages, as Anderson—co-director of 2014’s Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret—shops it around to independent film festivals. It’s currently streaming on Vimeo for $10, and the filmmakers’ goal is to get it on Netflix. Meade, who’s been vegetarian for 40 years, says if ticket sales are strong enough, the May 17
showing could get moved to the Del Mar. The doc fits into Meade’s larger vision of getting people to see how their own health is connected to that of the planet. “I try to help people understand the interconnectivity of life,” he says. “We tend to think that human beings are put on this earth just to live our lives. But we are connected to the earth, like tree roots going into the ground. There’s a boomerang effect and if we disrespect our world, it comes back to affect us with ocean pollution and pesticides. You really have to take care of everything jointly.” “What the Health” will screen at the Nick at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17. Tickets are $10. JACOB PIERCE

TRACKING DEVICE Nerf built his own rail bikes to facilitate his hobby of traveling along rail corridors.

today, many of the freight cars were open, as they transported goods, often large items like cars and trucks, he recalls. “You could throw a piece of cardboard in the back of a GM truck with a sleeping bag, jug of wine, and your girlfriend,” he says. Basically, that’s what he did. Nerf and Anna, his wife of 44 years, met as juniors at Davis and traveled throughout California and the Pacific Northwest by rail. “My father-in-law once asked my wife what was her fondest memory, expecting her to say it was him making our wedding happen,” relates Nerf. “But instead she said, ‘Riding the freight trains with Nerf.’” When it was time to settle down, he moved to an island on Puget Sound in Washington, where he worked as a furniture manufacturer representative for 30 years. Unfortunately, there were no train tracks in the area, so he pushed the memory of his first rail ride into the back of his mind.
It wasn’t until two years ago, when Nerf and his wife moved to Santa Cruz— where he’d spent summers surfing as a teenager—that the memory began to work its way back into his consciousness. He wanted to give it another go. Obviously, coasting along the tracks on a specially built cycle is great fun. But is it allowed? Unfortunately, although it’s common for Santa Cruzans to travel the corridor (pedestrians do it all the time), it isn’t actually legal, says Regional Transportation Commission spokesperson Karena Pushnik, via email. “Until sections of the trail including associated buffers are constructed, pedestrian and bicycle access in the rail corridor is prohibited,” Pushnik says. “Similar to freeways and expressways, ownership of the rail corridor by a public agency does not equate to full multimodal public access.” Plans for the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (also called the Coastal Rail
Trail) were adopted in 2013, and have gone through several hurdles to combine the 50 miles of track running through several coastal counties. Thirteen miles of the 32-mile Santa Cruz stretch have been funded in the last three years. Last year, two-thirds of Santa Cruz voters approved Measure D, the transportation legislation that also approved additional funding and direction for the Rail Trail. On May 4 the Regional Transportation Commission will review to approve the draft for the first five years of the Measure D plan. Pushnik says that even though walking or riding the rails is currently illegal, that might not always be the case. “A rail bike outfit from the East Coast is interested in operating in Santa Cruz, but at this time, there are no plans for this service,” she writes. “If and when it will be approved, operation would be regulated, safety measures enforced and rides would be grouped (not a free-for- all).” There is a surprisingly long history of people riding rail bikes, or railroad
velocipedes, as they were known back in the day. The origins date back to the late 1850s, shortly after the invention of the handcar—small hand-pumped vessels that wheeled up and down tracks, as seen in movies like Blazing Saddles or Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?. Such devices were essential for moving groups of rail workers from one end of the line to the other in a short amount of time. Michigan farmer George Sheffield invented the first three-wheeled railroad velocipede in 1877. Getting tired of walking the tracks everyday, Sheffield came up with the idea of using both feet and hand cranks to move the vehicle. Two years later he applied for a patent. During most of the time in-between, he kept his invention secret from others, only riding it at night as he had no right to use the rails. To this day, the solitude of rail biking can provide a certain peace of mind. “There’s a wonderful solitude and meditation having that peace to yourself,” says Nerf. “Freedom—now there’s a great word.”

NEWS TOKE HOLD <12 who previously would not necessarily have been priorities for immigration enforcement, now will be targeted by immigration officials for deportation, or for denial of immigration benefits.” Rice, the most well-known cannabis lawyer in Santa Cruz, says he would like to see DAs create a policy similar to one adopted in Santa Clara County six years ago. There, District Attorney Jeff Rosen issued a memo telling his deputies to consider “collateral consequences” in pursuing charges. For example, Rice, who knows Figueroa and has worked on criminal cases as well, says that if someone gets charged with a cannabis-related offense, the DA could instead charge them on something that won’t catch ICE’s attention, like a pesticide infraction. He notes that prosecutors routinely do something similar already; for instance, when someone is facing a DUI charge after blowing a .08 blood alcohol content on a breathalyzer. Often times, the DA will strike a plea deal, bargaining the offense down from a DUI to what’s commonly called a “wet reckless.” Neither the Sonoma County nor the Santa Cruz County district attorney’s offices could be reached for comment by deadline, and the state’s District Attorneys Association defers all questions to local officials. In the meantime, immigration groups are counseling noncitizens to keep a low profile, especially around cannabis. The Daily Cannifornian, an online source of all things pot-related in the state, recently posted a story about the cannabis noncitizen conundrum and reported that the San Francisco-based Immigrant Legal Resource Center “advises nonU.S. citizens not to use marijuana until they are citizens, and not to work in marijuana shops. On top of that, it cautions undocumented immigrants not to leave the house carrying marijuana, a medical marijuana card, paraphernalia, or other accessories such as marijuana T-shirts or stickers.

Grave Indifference The unmarked resting place and historic legacy of Antoinette Swan BY GEOFFREY DUNN
I
PHOTO: KEANA PARKER
Perhaps even more significantly, their cultural activities caught hold here in Santa Cruz. A decade later, a local newspaper item declared that “the boys who go in swimming at Seabright Beach use surfboards to ride the breakers, like the Hawaiians.” By the 1890s, surfing had taken root in Santa Cruz. At the center of that story—and the reason that the princes stayed here in Santa Cruz—was a woman named Antoinette “Akoni” Swan, of royal Hawaiian lineage and who served as a catalyst to the princes’ historic activities here. Surf historian Kim Stoner and I have been tracking and researching this story for most of our adult lives. Several years ago, we uncovered a remarkable archive of materials in Hawaii—letters and photographs— that significantly expanded our understanding of the critical role Antoinette Swan played in this story. She has subsequently been featured in several of our articles, as well as in exhibits at the Museum of Art & History—including one that featured a pair of the princes’ original olo surfboards on loan from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. Slowly but surely, the fascinating, once-forgotten figure Antoinette Swan has been rewoven into the fabric of Santa Cruz history.
G
ilmore, staying in Santa Cruz at the invitation of our mutual friend (and Good Times CEO) Dan Pulcrano, was so intrigued by the princes’ and Antoinette
Swan’s tale that he went to visit Swan’s gravesite at Santa Cruz Memorial Park (also known as Odd Fellows Cemetery) on the eastern banks of the San Lorenzo, on Ocean Street Extension. What Gilmore discovered is that Swan’s graveside had no marker. Nothing. Hawaiian bloodlines can be difficult to trace, sometimes nearly impossible to follow. For years, there have been lawsuits and trails of broken dreams trying to prove them in court. But it has generally been understood that Antoinette Swan had royal, or ali’i, lineage, which explained not only her close ties to the three princes, but also to King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi‘olani in the late 19th century, even when she was residing here in Santa Cruz. Upon discovering her story, Gilmore felt an immediate kinship to Antoinette. According to his own family lore, he is a descendant of Hawaiian royalty, of a line similar to that of Antoinette’s. Recent DNA tests that he showed me provide possible links not only to Antoinette, but to the three princes as well, along with at least two other ali’i bloodlines. All of them were distant cousins—the same way that Antoinette and the princes were believed to be related. Gilmore met with officials at the Memorial Park cemetery, and has set up a GoFundMe account to help fund the creation of a marker. He is also hosting a concert at the Catalyst on Saturday, May 6, (see sidebar) to raise funds for a gravestone.

t is a glorious spring day in Santa Cruz, golden sunshine and a light breeze coming from the ocean, and I am walking on the west bank of the San Lorenzo River—or, more accurately, along its western levee—with Kyle Gilmore, an intense and purposeful man of Hawaiian descent who is fascinated by the connectivity between Santa Cruz and the place of his familial roots on the island of Oahu. Gilmore, now in his late forties, was raised in foster homes and juvenile detention centers on the island, and spent the past 30 years or so “wandering the globe,” as he puts it. He is in search of connectivity to lives that have come before his. Gilmore has recently discovered the now celebrated tale of the three Hawaiian princes who visited Santa Cruz in the 1880s and brought the royal sport of surfing to the Americas. He is drawn to it, passionately, resolutely. For those unfamiliar with the story, here is a quick summation: In the summer of 1885, three Hawaiian princes—David Kawananakoa, Edward Keliiahonui and Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana’ole—used traditional styled olo boards made of redwood from the Santa Cruz Mountains and surfed at the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. Their activities, described in the local press at the time as “interesting exhibitions of surf-board swimming as practiced in their native islands,” provided the first known account of Polynesianstyled surfing in the Americas.

“When I went to the cemetery and saw no marker there,” he says, “I felt compelled to act, to do something about it. My mother had directed me to always protect the bones of those with superior mana, or spirit. I felt as though it was my calling to honor ‘Akoni’.”
T
wenty years after the princes arrived here in Santa Cruz, an obituary appeared in the Santa Cruz Surf on Oct. 2, 1905, for “Mrs. Antoinette Don Paul Marie Swan,” who had died the day before at her family home on Cathcart Street. The obituary noted that Swan “was courtly in manner, and had a charm in her dealing with people that won many friends. She was a kind neighbor and a devoted mother, loved by her children.” She was clearly a well-liked and widely respected member of the community. The obituary also included some detailed information about Antoinette’s lineage, rather unique
to Santa Cruz at this time: She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, of Spanish parentage on her father’s side, he being for many years consul from Spain at Honolulu, and owner of the island at the mouth of the Pearl River [today Pearl Harbor] and was very prominent in the islands. He was the first to introduce many of the flowers in that land. Her mother was of Scotch and Hawaiian ancestry. She married Lyman Swan in the islands, and they came to California in 1846, and about 12 years after their arrival came to Santa Cruz, where she has since resided, except for a number of years spent at the islands, where she dwelt with the royalty at the palace, being a member of the King’s household. Not all of the information in the Surf obituary was accurate, but it was close enough to provide both an open window into her life story and enough clues to put the various pieces of this intricate historic puzzle back together.

GONE TO CALIFORNIA Antoinette Swan in Santa Cruz, circa 1880. PHOTO: HAWAII NATIONAL ARCHIVE
<20 According to baptismal records in Hawaii and her death certificate here in Santa Cruz, Antoinette Marin, nicknamed “Akoni” when she was young, was born on the island of Oahu on Oct. 6, 1832. Contrary to the reference in the obituary, her mother, Kaikuloa, is believed to be a full-blooded Hawaiian and a “chiefess,” which made Antoinette, by birth, of “ali’i” or noble Hawaiian lineage. Her father, Don Francisco de Paula Marin, was a legendary figure in Hawaiian history, from his first arrival in the islands in the early 1790s until his death in Honolulu in 1837. While he was never “consul from Spain,” as would later be claimed (indeed he deserted the Spanish army), he served in the role of unofficial consigliere to Kings
Kamehameha III & IV and played a major role as liaison between European and American vessels and native Hawaiian authorities. By the time Marin had died in 1837, he had fathered, according to some accounts, as many as 27 different children. His last daughter, Antoinette, had just reached her fifth birthday. Following Marin’s death, Antoinette was adopted by Dr. Thomas Charles Byde Rooke, a prominent British physician who had also married into an ali’i family. In November of 1851, an item in the Honolulu Polynesian newspaper noted that Antoinette had married Lyman Swan, then a young businessman on the Honolulu waterfront. He was a partner in Swan & Clifford, a seemingly successful chandlery business that fitted out whaling ships
GRAVE INDIFFERENCE during the heyday of the Pacific whaling industry and the era of Moby Dick. (Indeed, a young Herman Melville had worked for Antoinette’s hanai brother-in-law, Isaac Montgomery, during his four-month sojourn in Honolulu.) A ship manifest I recently discovered from 1848 raises some interesting questions. Listed on board the barkentine Elliot Libbey on July 11, 1848, departing from Tahiti to the “Sandwich Islands” [Hawaii], are Swan and his “wife,” listed as though she were from “Tahiti.” Also on board was his chandlery partner, Ornan Clifford, along with his wife. Were Swan and the 15-year-old Antoinette already living together as a married couple well before their marriage? Or had he taken a Tahitian bride that he left before marrying Antoinette? The answers remain uncertain.

he second half of the 19th Century was a time of profound cultural and political transition in the Hawaiian Islands. The globalization of the world economy brought ever increasing outside pressure on the islands, and forged changes internally as well. In particular, the United States was emerging as a Pacific power and aggressively asserting its political and military influence throughout the Pacific Rim, particularly in Hawaii. In 1884, the popular Hawaiian monarchs King David Kalakaua and his wife, Queen Consort Esther Julia Kapi‘olani, who were childless, adopted the three princes after the

usiness records in the Hawaiian Archives indicate that while the Swan & Clifford chandlery was doing a booming business, income was not keeping up with expenses. Apparently, unbeknownst to his partner, Swan began forging “bills of exchange” (or checks) with several whaling ships. The partners were also accused of short-selling coal. On April 13, 1855, authorities in Hawaii issued a wanted poster charging both Swan and Clifford with forging $40,000 in promissory notes and leaving more than $80,000 in unpaid bills, just after Swan had snuck out of Honolulu on the sailing ship George in March of 1854. It was a huge amount of money during that era—the equivalent of millions today—and the case quickly garnered international attention. A $5,000 reward was offered for information about their whereabouts. While Clifford immediately returned to Honolulu and declared his innocence (several supporters in Hawaii signed a letter on his behalf), Swan was apprehended on the island of Alameda, in San Francisco Bay. All of the forged bills had been executed in his handwriting. While Hawaiian authorities tried to extradite Swan,
he was never to return to the islands. He endured several years of both civil and criminal court cases against him in San Francisco (he was found guilty on several, but not all counts). The records of his many court cases, located today at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, do not reveal if he was sentenced to any time in prison. Somehow during this time, he managed to bring Antoinette and his daughter Lily to California, where the family first resided in San Jose, and then moved to Santa Cruz in the mid-1860s. By that time, there were five children in the Swan household. A native of New York and originally a baker by trade, Swan returned to his roots and opened a bakery on Pacific Avenue. By the time of the arrival of the three princes in 1885, the Swans were popular and widely respected pillars of the Santa Cruz business community. The family purchased a large plot of land in downtown Santa Cruz, at what is now the corner of Front and Cathcart Streets, that then backed up to the San Lorenzo River. In fact, Lyman Swan was so respected in Santa Cruz that he was the “ninth signer” of the Constitution and Roll of Members of the Society of Pioneers of Santa Cruz County—though there was never any mention in any local documents or newspaper accounts of the criminal activity that forced him to leave Hawaii and led to his quiet relocation to the northern sweep of Monterey Bay.

Now they were being prepped for the monarchy at St. Mathew’s Hall, a full-fledged military school for boys, located in San Mateo. When not at St. Mathew’s, the three princes were placed under the careful eye of Antoinette Swan—not her husband—and her children, who were considered older “cousins” of the princes. The Southern Pacific connected San Mateo to Santa Cruz, making their commute to the seaside resort an easy one.
When the Swan home became too crowded, the princes boarded at the nearby Wilkins House, located half a block away, on Pacific Avenue and Cathcart Street. It would be doing a significant disservice to the historical record to suggest that life at the Swan house was a bed of white ginger blossoms—for the princes or for themselves. In fact, the Swan marriage was a decidedly unhappy one. Lyman Swan’s larceny may have long been hidden from the Santa Cruz community, but he couldn’t hide it from himself or from Antoinette, whom he had shamed

the side of her father and described Edward as a “nasty little cuss” and further noted that “I hate him” and “if he comes here again I shall surely snub him good.” The other two brothers, however, David (“Koa”) and Jonah (“Cupid”), she was fond of, and she describes how they had given her potted “tuber roses” for her garden. In return, she made “pretty hat crowns” for them, and for their cousin Richard Gilliland, who was also attending St. Mathew’s from Hawaii and was also a frequent visitor to Santa Cruz with the princes.

ronically, it was in December of 1941, only a week following the bombing of Pearl Harbor (a property that had once belonged to Swan’s father), that Santa Cruz briefly paid attention to the Hawaiian links to its history.

with his activities in Honolulu. According to records in the Hawaiian Archives, Antoinette decided to return to the islands for lengthy periods of time, where she served as a special assistant to the Royal Family— her official title was chamberlain (not “chambermaid” as the local press occasionally referred to it) and often traveled with them abroad. In a remarkable, albeit somewhat melancholy, letter written by Lily Swan to her mother in October of 1886, Lily lamented that her father “has been drinking nearly all the time” and that the previous evening “he came home awfully full, and in consequence, he was sick the next day.” She complains that her younger brother Alfred “is also drinking now.” Apparently, Prince Edward had accused Lyman Swan of stealing money from him, though Lily took

GRAVE INDIFFERENCE <25 Two prominent Santa Cruz Sentinel historians, Leon Rowland and Ernest Otto, both paid homage to Swan and her family. Rowland described Antoinette as “a native woman of royal blood” (he identified her mother as “Lahihali”), while Otto, who almost certainly knew “Akoni” when he was a young boy, described her as “courteous and gracious,” and declared that she would “never be forgotten by those that knew her.” Until recent years, however, she had been completely forgotten by Santa Cruz history.

hree-quarters of a century after Antoinette Swan’s last hurrah, Kyle Gilmore and I are continuing our walk along the San Lorenzo. Life around the river is bustling: mallards are engaged in an exotic mating ritual on the water; swallows nesting on the Soquel Avenue bridge are darting and diving toward the river; crows are swarming overhead. At one point, as we head south along the levee, I realize we are near the location of the Swan family home, the place where Antoinette died on Oct. 1, 1905. Gilmore honors this realization with a moment of silence. As we draw closer to the beach, we notice 20 young sea lions sunning themselves on a ledge just above the water. A few swim near us and monitor our movements. Gilmore takes these as signs. Earlier in the day, he and I had visited with Santa Cruz Memorial cemetery owner Randy Krassow, who is as affable as he is informative. He took us to the unmarked Swan family burial plot and showed us records indicating that a dozen members of the Swan family, including Lyman Swan, were buried there—all unmarked. It was a stunning discovery. Several years ago, I had happened upon the Swan family photo album in Honolulu, with virtually all of these family member’s carte de visite images, and now I was connecting with their spirits at the cemetery. Gilmore says there is something he needs to explain to me. He speaks to me in a measured tone about
the Hawaiian concept of mana, or spiritual energy, and why he felt that Antoinette Swan was possessed of a powerful version of this spirit, which she had obtained through her birth. “Whatever is revealed through all of this,” he says, “I will accept the responsibility—to deal with all that presents itself in a righteous manner. This is a central part of my Hawaiian heritage—to be accountable to all that is sacred and forgotten. She is here. I can feel her.” On the distant horizon, just beyond where the three Hawaiian princes first surfed at the river mouth 132 years ago next month, a flock of pelicans is forming a “V” above the water. They seem to be moving in slow motion. “I know there was something I had to do here in Santa Cruz,” Gilmore says to me. “I look around and see the anxiety and pain we all live in as part of the modern world. The insanity. We need to honor our mana, and to remember the past. That is how we are going to heal our people.” Geoffrey Dunn is the author of ‘Santa Cruz Is in the Heart: Volume II,’ and ‘Images of America: The Santa Cruz Wharf,’ both available locally.

in the experience. You walk in and disappear into the experience until it spits you back out at the end,” says Extravaganza co-producer Cayenne. “It’s like the best kind of sex. You’re just in the moment.” “That’s the Wily Minx experience,” says Monroe, also a co-producer. From full-length gown to pasties, it’s all about the tantalizing journey, says Cayenne, and with special Extravaganza guests Magnoliah Black, Jet Noir, Adrogymo, and Femcee Alexa Von Kickinface, their naughty night will be one to remember. For one night only, the Santa Cruz-based troupe will bring its powerful wiles to the Kuumbwa Jazz Center with its very first selfproduced, curated and performed burlesque show. The Extravaganza— so named because “there’s going to be tons of vagina on that stage,” laughs Cayenne—will showcase six years of the funniest, sauciest, and finest work from the group’s repertoire, with some surprises sprinkled in. “It’s been a long-term goal for a while, at least two years, and now we are finally seeing it come true. It was really born from wanting to do the Stockings Holiday Cabaret at Motion Pacific, but just more,” says Monroe. “We’ll work more than six months on that show. We wanted to take that energy and excitement and creativity, and do it sooner rather than wait the whole year.” The Kuumbwa had to be where they host their first full-length show, says Monroe. “The Kuumbwa is really swanky and sexy, it has all the feel of a cabaret-like theater—” “And the accessibility of the audience,” Cayenne cuts in. “Because playing with audience members is definitely a favorite part of getting to perform.” They’re both tittering now, with a knowing look between them: “Get your VIP tickets,” Monroe says with a wink. “The splash zone … not really.” Cayenne giggles, dark curls bouncing. “Bring goggles … not really.” The Wily Minxes are five friends:
Honey D’Mure, Luna Luxe, Whisker Rose, Monroe and Cayenne—no, those aren’t their real names but everything else is 100 percent au natural. They’re all classically trained dancers, bringing extra tact to the tease. “To have five dancers do 10 moves in a row, all the same, coupled with impeccable musical timing, changing up the tempo—fast, slow—and then adding technical skill to it, ranging from flexibility to turns to jumps,” says Monroe, “I think that is a very savory dish for an audience member, and for a performer.” One of the hardest things as dancers doing burlesque has been to learn to slow down, says Monroe, a cue they learned from the business’s legends. “I talk about it like punctuation: you can have a sentence, but then having the proper punctuation is what really wraps it up,” says Cayenne. “No one wants to watch a run-on sentence,” adds Monroe, raising her eyebrows. “Where do we want to leave a question mark? Where’s the exclamation point?” They’ve put a lot of thought into how to be the best in burlesque— Cayenne recently won “Best Tease” at the Texas Burlesque Festival, and last year Monroe was invited to perform at the Las Vegas Burlesque Hall of Fame in the “Movers, Shakers, and Innovators” category. To be on stage in front of strangers with nothing but a g-string and pasties can be empowering and vulnerable at the same time, says Monroe. “I’m giving to them, they’re giving to me, and the more we give to each other, the better my performance becomes,” says Monroe. “It can feel incredibly distant when people are just demonstrating skill on stage,” agrees Cayenne. “You can’t control someone's entire experience in a show but I do feel like one of my responsibilities is to invite you in and for you to feel seen and loved, in a way, because it is about you being here.” Info: 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 6, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. thewilyminxes.com. $25-$50.

Punk scene a good match for jazz-pop Diners BY AARON CARNES

T
yler Broderick only recently got off of a seven-month tour. Some of that was spent playing in his friend’s punk band Dogbreth. For part of it, his band Diners got to open for AJJ. The rest of the time Broderick played solo DIY punk shows under the Diners moniker. Diners isn’t punk, though. Broderick’s music is mellow, full of jazzy guitar chords, and dreamy melodies. In fact his latest album, Three, is even quieter than anything he’s previously released. Lead single “Fifteen on a Skateboard” is a nostalgiadrenched ’70s AM pop ballad. “I feel like the DIY musicians I know that play a lot of fifth chords, or
jazzy pop, they don’t take to Diners because there’s already someone in their music scene doing it,” Broderick says. “The punk community, they take to Diners really well. So it’s kind of confusing. It’s funny to me.” When I saw the band a few years ago in a dive bar, opening for one of the loudest punk bands I’d ever seen, I was amazed at how quiet Diners played. They were a four-piece band, practically muting their guitars, and played the songs slightly slower than on their recently released record, Always Room. Broderick admits that on the twomonth section of the tour supporting AJJ, the band beefed up their songs,
and even played them a bit faster than normal, due primarily to the energy of the show. Playing with AJJ was a bit of a dream come true. Both hail from Phoenix. AJJ used to be on Asian Man Records. Diners’ latest album is on Asian Man. “AJJ were hometown heroes. They were breaking through to other music communities and touring constantly. I have pride being an Arizona band because of them,” Broderick says. “With us doing the AJJ dates, it was like, all right, we’re a professional band for these two months. But it was super rewarding to come back to the DIY world where I normally exist.” Since he’s been on the road doing
solo shows so long, he’s developed a special solo set well beyond the guy-with-a-guitar act. He opens and closes the show with some karaoke-style songs (during which he projects the lyrics on a screen behind him). The rest of the set, he plays songs on the guitar, while random home movies from his cell phone play on the screen. He’s even worked out little choreographed dance moves to go with the tunes. He calls it the “Diners variety show.” The seven-month tour was originally supposed to be a year long, but got cut short for personal reasons. Broderick is glad to be back in Phoenix for a little while so he can work on new material. To try and spark creative ideas, Broderick has been writing on the piano, then transcribing the songs to the guitar. It’s a far cry from when he started taking guitar lessons as a teenager to learn how to play AC/DC and Van Halen licks. His guitar teacher, a Pink Floyd fanatic, eventually started teaching him jazzy chords and some basic music theory. Broderick took right to it. But it wasn’t until he started Diners in 2012 that he was able to start writing music using these type of chord progressions. “If my 16-year-old-self caught wind of what I’m currently listening to, I’m sure he’d be pretty bummed out. One of my most listened to albums of last year was the Nutcracker Suite,” Broderick says. His music doesn’t just sound like he’s lost in thought; he even sings about thinking and contemplating. “Fifteen on a Skateboard” and “In My Hometown” set the nostalgic tone for the remainder of the record. “A lot of the lyrics are about ideas that I have, rather than actual things that exist in the real world. Even though I talk about things in my hometown, it’s not about those things. It’s about the memory of those things,” Broderick says. Some of his new songs might end up being more rock, others even more mellow. He’s not really sure what to expect when he moves to L.A. “I try not to think so much about direction,” Broderick says, “and just follow my nose wherever it goes.” INFO: 6:30 p.m., May 10, SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5-$7. 426-5242.

The concept for this show came to me when I recently had to stifle a hankering to head down to the Ventana, due to closures both temporary and permanent. Many of the Big Sur vistas I’ve painted are not currently accessible, and will have changed when and if they are again open to the public. The exhibit opened in April, and is being held over for May as well. First Friday reception May 5 will include some songs of Big Sur. Performances at 7 and 8 pm.

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND TIRED
The members of local grindcore/ powerviolence trio Tired want people to know that just because most of their songs are a minute long, it doesn’t mean they aren’t packed with talent, intensity and a lot of heart.
MAY 3-9, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“I feel like it’s one of those styles of music you stumble across as a kid like, ‘What the fuck is this?’” says guitarist Sam Samson. “I always just assumed it’s easy to play because it’s super fast and sounds like nonsense on guitar, but it’s super technical.”

SUNNY SWEENEY
Formed a year ago by Samson (who is also in Stone Sloth), drummer Colby Metzger (of Gloam) and singer Taylor Fish (ex-Moirai), they originally thought the new project would be temporary.
WEDNESDAY 5/3
“The idea was to start a three-month grindcore band,” remembers Fish. “But then we kept getting more and more shows within nine months.”
Hearing about someone else’s troubles often makes us forget our own— or at least makes us realize that we’re not alone. The blues is built on this premise, and some of the best classic country music is a deep dive into an emotional gut punch the songwriter experienced. Texas native Sunny Sweeney takes this long-standing country tradition and runs with it. In her songs, she goes straight into the heart of heartache, cheating, divorce, despair and surviving it all. Her new album, Trophy, sees the artist going from the depths of despair to a new beginning. CJ
Within those nine months, they played countless shows and recorded two EPs, Ennui (12 songs for a total of eight and a half minutes) and Created Broken (10 songs, also at eight and a half minutes). Unlike other grindcore and powerviolence bands that often take themselves so seriously that it borders on the ridiculous, Tired has never lost its sense of humor. Before landing on Tired, they went through several name changes—even taking up Third Eye Grind, a pun on radio pop band Third Eye Blind. “The plan is to work on an album,” says Metzger. “Which, you know, will only be 15 to 20 minutes. After all, it is grind.” MAT WEIR INFO: 6 p.m. Monday, May 15. Caffe Pergolesi, 418 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Free/Donations at door. 426-1775.

ALT-COUNTRY
FUTUREBIRDS In true Athens, Georgia fashion, Futurebirds mix southern roots music with weirdo psychedelic influences. Unlike some of the more famous Athens bands (R.E.M., B-52’s, Of Montreal), however, there’s a lot
more country-rock than experimental wizardry. The group is liberal with its traditional roots influences, much in the way Neil Young has stayed true to the classic American sound, while simultaneously rewriting it. Like Young, the songs are internal, contemplative, and flushed out with a quiet emotional stirring that ripples with each successive listen. AARON CARNES
also bringing to light the darker side of the country’s history. His latest offering, Wideass Highway, furthers Poole’s reimagining of country music, including a track Simpson might approve of titled “Tripping with the One You Love.” CJ

DOUGIE POOLE In 2014, singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson released Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, an album that confused country music fans and thrilled critics with its nontraditional subject matter—like tales of tripping on hallucinogens, which is definitely not your typical country music fodder. Singer-songwriter Dougie Poole carries on the tradition of breaking the mold of country music from the inside. He looks at human emotion and country sentiment through a high-tech lens, and explores beloved American traditions while

They will be sharing the stage with local, indie-synth-popindie-garage act Drevmers, along with Los Angeles “hip-hop and alt-rock” musicians Coolezy, and Spoken Nerd—a “satirical indie hip hop” act from Nashville.

But Muldaur didn’t stop at pop music. For the last 40-plus years she’s traversed folk music, bluegrass, blues, jazz, gospel, R&B and more in an exploration of
the history of American music. On Sunday, Muldaur and special guest pianist John R. Burr head to Felton for “Jazzabelle,” which is being touted as an “intimate evening of naughty bawdy blues and vintage classic jazz.” CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.
ROCK
JAMES MCCARTNEY Remember when Paul McCartney sang a song to John Lennon’s son and it became a No. 1 hit single? (That’s “Hey Jude,” if you’ve been living under a rock.) We’ve heard plenty from Lennon’s musically minded kids over the years, but what about McCartney’s own flesh and blood? James McCartney, the only son of Paul and Linda McCartney, has been contributing to his parents’ albums since the ’90s, but started recording his own records less than a decade ago. His music is a bit harder-edged than his dad’s, and he sings at a higher register. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

A relentlessly swinging quartet that brings together revered veterans and a rising young horn player, this ensemble is co-led by drummer Mike Clark, who earned enduring props from funk/jazz aficionados for his seminal work in the mid-1970s with Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters, and Berkeley-reared pianist Michael Wolff, a capaciously inventive player who cut his teeth with Cannonball Adderley. Buster Williams, a major force since the mid-1960s, is the rare bassist whose solos end too soon, and saxophonist Hailey Niswanger is the coltish upcomer thriving in this august company. ANDREW GILBERT
track/Is Leonard Cohen wack?” This is probably one of the least strange references Kool A.D. has ever spit on a track. During his time as part of Brooklyn rap crew Das Racist, he helped redefine how far out stream-of-consciousness “weed rap” could go. Since going solo, he’s released an album every month or two. Needless to say, his discography is mind-bogglingly massive, but strangely enough, it’s consistent. He remains one of the best lyricists working in hip-hop today. AC
British guitar legend Robin Trower took a winding road to pop stardom, first playing with London R&B group the Paramounts before joining rock band Procol Harum, just as they peaked with the global smash hit “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” Eventually, Trower left the band to broaden his musical horizons as a solo artist. His sophomore solo release, 1974’s Bridge of Sighs, drew numerous comparisons to the music of Jimi Hendrix and catapulted Trower to the top of the pop charts. He’s since released dozens of albums, including 2016’s Where You Are Going To. CAT JOHNSON

Scriptwriters boost wartime morale in sharp, funny ‘Their Finest’ BY LISA JENSEN
O
K, I’m a sucker for movies about writers. And it’s not an easy subject to get right on screen, since there’s nothing too cinematic about watching somebody tapping away at a keyboard. But a canny filmmaker can make the spark of the creative process visible by showing a pool of writers pinging ideas off of each other, or escalate drama in a succession of ever more ridiculous demands imposed on the writers by whoever is in charge of their project. Oh, and a little romance never hurts.
Lone Scherfig is a very canny director. And she and scriptwriter Gaby Chiappe manage to craft a smart, entertaining femme-centric movie about writers and writing in Their Finest, using all of the above storytelling techniques. Set in London in 1940, during the Blitz, the story concerns the efforts of a film crew to make a morale-boosting epic to help the war effort. The mood is witty, urbane, and irreverent, but it’s not exactly a lighthearted romp, with the specter of death and destruction always just around the corner.
Adapted from the Lissa Evans novel Their Finest Hour and a Half (which is a pretty funny title, right there), it’s the story of young Welshwoman Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton), who arrives in London with her artist husband, Ellis (Jack Huston). The dismal canvases he paints are considered “too brutal” to be used in the war effort, so Catrin goes for a job interview at the Ministry of Information: Film Division, for what she thinks is a secretarial position. But because she’s done some advertising
copywriting, she’s assigned to the scriptwriting unit. Her new boss, Swain (the everdroll Richard E. Grant), produces films about the war at home, and they need somebody to inject the “female viewpoint” into their pictures. Of course, Catrin is told, “we can’t pay you as much as the chaps” in the scriptwriting pool, but they need her to write what one of her new co-writers, Buckley, calls “the slop”—i.e. women’s dialogue. Catrin interviews twin sisters who set out in their dad’s fishing boat to join the evacuation at Dunkirk, which the producers want to make as their next film. The real story proves to be disappointing, but the writers frame it as true to the spirit of the times, if not to actual facts. As Catrin, Buckley, and colleague Parfitt (Paul Ritter) hammer it out at their adjoining typewriters, Scherfig includes snippets from the movie-tobe playing onscreen as the writers dream up each scene. Scherfig’s film percolates with acutely funny dialogue and situations. The producers impose insane demands on the writers—like adding a Yank to the story to appeal to the U.S. market, played by an American-born RAF pilot who can’t act (Jake Lacy). The wonderful Bill Nighy plays an aging ex-matinee idol whose part in the script is deepened by Catrin and Buckley in exchange for him giving the Yank acting pointers. Jeremy Irons has one funny scene as the Secretary of War trying to inspire the team by reciting the St. Crispin’s Day speech from Henry V. Rachael Stirling is great as a trousered production liaison calling herself “Phyl” with a particularly adversarial relationship to Buckley. Like the fictional filmmakers it portrays, Their Finest realizes it may not be able to achieve all of its conflicting objectives, as the bombs rain down around them. But Scherfig’s film continues to engage and surprise us with its wit, skill, and heartfelt emotion. THEIR FINEST *** 1/2 (out of four) With Gemma Arterton, Bill Nighy, Sam Claflin, Richard E Grant, and Rachael Stirling. Written by Gaby Chiappe. Directed by Lone Scherfig. A EuropaCorp USA release. Rated R. 117 minutes

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.
NOW PLAYING BEAUTY AND THE BEAST This live-action adaptation of the fairytale classic might sound pointless to you, but to Disney it sounds like “ka-ching!” Bill Condon directs. Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans co-star. (PG) 129 minutes.
BORN IN CHINA Disneynature tracks China’s incredible wildlife from the Qinghai Plateau to the Sichuan Mountains and offers a rare glimpse into the lives of pandas, monkeys, and snow leopards—oh my! Chuan Lu directs. John Krasinski, Xun Zhou co-star. (G) 76 minutes. THE BOSS BABY I want to hate this animated kid’s movie about a talking baby, because all movies about talking babies should be hated. But I’ve seen the trailer a zillion times now (give or take), and I have to admit Alec Baldwin doing his Jack Donaghy character from 30 Rock (basically) in baby form is pretty funny. (PG) 97 minutes. THE CIRCLE The Circle tech company is saving humanity, curing every disease and solving every problem. But the Circle is also watching you at every moment. Everything you do is recorded, seen, broadcast, stored and analyzed. Hearts be still, Dave Eggers fans. James Ponsoldt directs. Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, John Boyega co-star. (PG-13) 110 minutes. COLOSSAL Oh no, there’s a giant monster and its hugely destructive behavior is related to Anne Hathaway’s mental breakdown. Help us. Nacho Vigalondo directs. Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Austin Stowell co-star. (R) 110 minutes. THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS Every muscular bald action star ever, and Charlize Theron with some twist dreads y’all. F. Gary Gray directs. Dwayne Johnson, Scott Eastwood co-star. (PG-13) 136 minutes. FRANTZ Germany, 1919. Frantz’s grave is visited every day by an unknown Frenchman and what he brings with him reopens fresh wounds. Francois Ozon directs. Pierre Niney, Paula Beer, Ernst Stötzner. (PG-13) 193 minutes. GET OUT White suburbs: the real hell. Jordan Peele directs. Allison Williams, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield co-star. (R) 103 minutes. GIFTED Mary’s a precocious, sassy, seven-year-old with a

college-level brain. She’s already doing advanced calculus, but her uncle promised her late mother that he’d give Mary a normal life. When he’s drawn into a custody battle with Mary’s grandmother, the question of nurturing Mary’s genius instead of her happiness becomes the dividing line. Marc Webb directs. Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan co-star. (PG-13) 101 minutes. HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER Maximo used to be quite the stud, seducing women left and right. But when his wife of 25 years dumps him and leaves him penniless, he has to figure out a new game plan. Here’s to hoping this Casanova tale isn’t a super problematic reinforcement of women as mindless conquests. Ken Marino directs. Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe co-star. (PG-13) 115 minutes. THE LOST CITY OF Z A hidden civilization thought not to exist, and one British explorer crazy enough to go looking for it. James Gray directs. Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller costar. (PG-13) 141 minutes. THE PROMISE The more than 60,000 IMDB reviewers who gave this film one star may be more disgruntled about the release of a
film on the Armenian genocide than about this film’s actual cinematic potential—especially considering the fact that the reviews came in after only three public screenings, and it would have been impossible for that many people to have seen the film. On the other hand, the Dr.Zhivago-style two-hour drama featuring Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale caught in a love triangle during the demise of the Ottoman Empire and their genocide of Armenians could really be that bad, so who knows. Terry George directs. Shohreh Aghdashloo co-stars. (PG13) 172 minutes. SLEIGHT Bo is trying to provide a good life for his little sister when he gets caught up in a deadly drug ring and finds himself in need of a better weapon—one that his mysterious skills as a street magician just might fulfill. With the potential of a fresh kind of superhero, this genre cross-over could be the escaping-the-streets story everybody’s been waiting for. Or it could be a Disney-ified version of that. J.D. Dillard directs. Jacob Latimore, Seychelle Gabriel, Dulé Hill co-star. (R) 90 minutes. SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE This is what happens when you have a colony full of dudes in tight white pants and only one female. Kelly Asbury directs. Ariel
Winter, Michelle Rodriguez, Joe Manganiello co-star. (PG) 89 minutes. THEIR FINEST Reviewed this issue. Lone Scherfig directs. Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy co-star. (R) 117 minutes. UNFORGETTABLE A jealous exwife goes nutso and decides to ruin her ex’s new wife’s life. Haven’t we seen this “bitches be crazy” trope played out like a million times since Fatal Attraction? Denise Di Novi directs. Rosario Dawson, Katherine Heigl, Geoff Stults co-star. (R) 100 minutes. YOUR NAME When two strangers witness a star falling worlds apart from each other, they begin to swap bodies. The Japanese animated version of Freaky Friday? Makoto Shinkai directs. Ryûnosuke Kamiki, Mone Kamishiraishi, Ryô Narita co-star. (PG) 106 minutes. THE ZOOKEEPER’S WIFE It seems like Jessica Chastain has been in pretty much every movie for years now, but this time she tackles something very different in this true story of a zookeeper in 1939 Poland who puts herself and her family at risk to save lives in the Nazi-ruled Warsaw ghetto. (PG-13) 124 minutes.

Pleasure Point Verve reopens after a remodel that will include expanded food menu BY CHRISTINA WATERS
J
ust when you thought you knew everything about Verve Coffee Roasters—the shops in San Francisco, L.A., and Tokyo; the sensuous pastry alliance with Manresa Bakers; the impossibly hip vibe; the outrageously complex coffees— they come up with something new. Bigger, sleeker, foodier. Yes, after a few weeks of closure for renovation, the Verve Coffee Roasters’ 41st Avenue cafe has re-opened and is currently showing off its expanded
showcase for food, pastries and righteous caffeine. All on its 10 year anniversary. “We’ve made better use of the existing layout,” says co-founder Ryan O’Donovan. “Our capacity to serve people has been speeded up, we added a second register, and there’s increased seating inside as well as an expanded area outside.” In a region of serious coffeehouses, what makes Verve distinctive? “I think we are different than other brands,” O’Donovan
admits. “Our coffee sourcing is different, we have a full-time coffee buyer and both Colby and I do buying as well. But mostly we’re more of a lifestyle brand. A local independent brand.” The wall of playful green “air botanicals,” the beach-hued striped paint decor, all the chic mugs and T-shirts—yes, there is a lot to complete the feeling that you are surrounded by a liveable idea. Partner Colby Barr agrees. “Part of our design aesthetic was to keep a
lot of residential feeling. We’re very connected to the Pleasure Point area. All of our references are to a residence, a place you’d want to come and stay, yet with the ability to keep it super clean and neat as well,” says the founder who, with his partner, literally built the very first store at 41st Avenue with his own hands. “We did it all,” he laughs. “We had no budget to hire anyone else! And the relationship with Manresa is unique. We started doing coffee at Manresa back when we first started 10 years ago. When the bread baking started we naturally partnered with them.” Many local pastry fanatics (like me) are grateful for that fix of ornate, flavor-intensive cake, or croissant, or cookie Verve showcases like jewelry at Tiffany’s. So what’s next? “We want to keep going, and grow the brand responsibly. We’ll continue to do retail in our current markets—Japan is amazing,” Barr adds. “After all, our brand says ‘Made in Santa Cruz.’ We want to keep that local feel.” Food is new too at the remodeled Pleasure Point location, and the concept is “beyond pastry,” says Barr. “But not beyond our core competency,” he says, with a chuckle. “We won’t be doing artichoke bisque. Just a little more substantial than pastries.” For my money, the prospect of a prosciutto sandwich with piquillo aioli, manchego and mizuna on Manresa bread is definitely beyond pastry. And so is chai pudding, or avocado toast, or organic poached eggs on a Manresa biscuit. “They make those biscuits exclusively for us,” Barr adds with pride. Founded and based in Santa Cruz, Verve now has nine cafes and two original founders still right here at the helm. Verve coffees are still roasted here in Santa Cruz. The second register should significantly reduce wait time for that double macchiato. There’s even nitro cold brew on tap. Get on over there and congratulate entrepreneurs Ryan O’Donovan and Colby Barr. Lucky Pleasure Point! Verve Coffee Roasters is at 816 41st Ave., Santa Cruz. Open daily 6 a.m.-7 p.m.; foods ‘beyond pastries’ from 7 a.m.-2 p.m.

n April 13, the San Francisco Chronicle published an article by Carolyn Jung on the state of the Santa Cruz culinary scene, and her lackluster assertions rubbed me the wrong way. The article, headlined “Santa Cruz Dining Scene Shakes Off Its College Town Image,” leaned heavily on the input of local cookbook author Andrea Nguyen, but didn’t accurately reflect the dining scene or its history, and neglected many of the major players. Jung began by claiming that in Santa Cruz, “the dining landscape was dominated by the frozen, the fried and far too flabby clam chowders”—a frustratingly narrow vantage point from which to frame the rest of the article. Santa Cruz County boasts a $1.5 billion agriculture industry, and at least one farmers market is available every day of the week during the summer months. Those ingredients aren’t just going into home kitchens; I frequently run into chefs while grabbing my own groceries. Nguyen credits Kendra Baker and the opening of the Penny Ice Creamery in 2010 for “invigorating the area.” Not to dismiss Baker’s positive influence, but featuring her alone glosses over a
long history of restaurants and chefs. India Joze, La Posta, Soif, Oswald, the now-closed Theo’s, Gabriella Cafe, Ristorante Avanti and Lillian’s are just a few of the restaurants that celebrate our local bounty with flair. More recently, the wave of pop-up restaurants represents the type of adventurous risk-taking that is a sign of a thriving culinary scene. There’s no mention of Santa Cruz County’s dozens of fine wineries, high-caliber craft breweries or hundreds of excellent local food and beverage artisans. Santa Cruz-based traveling dinner series Outstanding in the Field, for example, was a leader in the farm-to-table movement more than a decade ago, and still is today. It’s not easy to capture what makes a dining scene special in a single article—I struggle to be able to cover everything here even with this column—and in the end, Jung sold our culinary community short. Misrepresenting what’s available in Santa Cruz to millions of readers throughout the Bay Area benefits no one, and especially not local restaurants that rely on having a slice of our $700 million tourism pie.

he Lucia Highlands 2015 Pinot Noir, with grapes from Fogstone Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, is a delicious spicy wine with an abundance of fruit notes. After a vibrant impact on the palate, it’s followed by a pleasing earthy sensation and a touch of vanilla. Silky tannins and bold flavors of red fruit are layered in this lovely Pinot—a very drinkable red which pairs well with most meat. But with its lightness of body, it would also pair with fish. Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir and Chardonnay can be found in local stores such as Deluxe Foods of Aptos (where it sells for $30), The Fish Lady, and Seascape Foods, as well as restaurants such as Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos and Britannia Arms in Capitola. The Rootstock Wine Bar in Los Gatos also carries Lucia Highlands’ wines. Lucia Highlands does not have a tasting room because they primarily grow grapes for other wineries.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WESAK—THE BUDDHA FULL MOON FESTIVAL
This Wednesday Mercury becomes stationary direct. It takes Mercury three days to begin to turn around and move forward. As Mercury moves slowly forward, the New Group of World Servers, women and men of Goodwill everywhere in the world, along with great cosmic beings, prepare in silence and contemplation, for next Wednesday’s (May 10) Wesak Festival. The yearly Wesak Festival is a consecrated time in which the Buddha enters the Earth plane (for eight minutes) and distributes the Will of God the Father to humanity. In this most important Eastern festival the Buddha brings with him the Wisdom, Knowledge and Insight (Taurus enlightenment) humanity seeks. The festival is actually seven days long—three days before (days of preparation), the festival day (Day of Dedication and Blessing) and three days after (Days of Safeguarding). The Wesak (Water Festival, the “waters of life
for thirsty humanity”) is a time of deep concentrated effort to bring illumination and wisdom to humanity. Everyone aware of this festival is striving and in service, preparing to become transmitters for the Taurus lightfilled energies released into the world during the actual Full Moon days. Meditation and visualization are a part of this process. The Wesak festival is held in a hidden valley in the Himalayas. Special ceremonies (ritual movements, chanting, blessing and distributing of waters) occur in order to contact Shamballa (the Father’s House where the Will of God is known). From the light of this contact inspiration illumines the mind of humanity. At the moment of the full moon, after much preparation we inform the Buddha, “We are ready, Lord Buddha. Come!” (more on the festival next week, at nightlightnews. org and on my Facebook page.)
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
Something’s (everything about you) exalted, there’s an abundance of physical and emotional energy. Your moods swing into a rhythm following the stars. You seek to understand, then protect values, possessions, and you are tenacious, like a Taurus. Although fluctuating, financially you’re prosperous. You feel sentimental, kind and loving. You wonder about your new self.
You look to others, seeing how they live their deepest values. You contemplate aspects of death and regeneration. You see the phoenix-like qualities found in those with great courage. You seek a deeper level of intimacy with the mysteries. Some Librans enter into detective work, diagnosing mysteries. You will engage in conflict for the purpose of creating greater harmony. Many won’t understand. Carry on.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 3, 2017
TAURUS Apr21–May21 Watching you these days we see activity, forcefulness, courage, leadership. You’re free and independent, always led by imagination and vision. Your creativity asserts itself everywhere. Enlightenment is your purpose. Nothing obstructs this, not even close relationships. You pioneer new enterprises. You say you found your path and need no one (or so it seems). Yes you do.
GEMINI May 22–June 20 You move into a reflective phase, becoming more sensitive to the needs of others. At times, you will be drawn into the mysterious and mystical through prayer, and to the occult through meditation and visualizations. What are you reading these days? It is good to stay behind the scenes, study things like forgiveness, apocatastasis (a Greek word) taught by St. Gregory of Nyssa. What does it mean? The world this week is being sanctified. Where is your crystal bowl?
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You seek enlightenment and illumination of thoughts through achievement in the world. Concerned with reputation, honor, recognition and fame, you learn how to influence others and be an enlightened intelligent loving authority. Assuming more responsibilities helps you learn how to lead with both power and love. When one is without the other, leadership is hollow. Leaders learn through suffering.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Your high ideals seek justice for everyone. You attempt to remove the blindfold from the eyes of Lady justice. You aspire for more education, deeper consciousness and true wisdom. You want to expand your mind through travel, religion or philosophical endeavors. Few see your spirit of adventure. Find and carve out of redwood or willow, oak or cypress, a sacred staff.
Enlightenment comes through seeing partners, intimates and those close to you with new eyes. Eyes not of judgment but of unconditional patience, love and understanding. You will find harmony through cooperation, balance through diplomacy, and peace through negotiation. This sounds like the United Nations, which is also Scorpio. The Great One is always knocking on the door of the U.N. And your heart, too.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You will enlighten and illumine others, just like the Buddha would, by being practical, neutral and always seeking wisdom; by tending to necessities (personal and professional); by assisting and serving others, which creates a holy order of things; by tending with composure to daily health and details of daily life. All with a neutral attitude. Then you walk the razor’s edge gracefully.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’re often very dignified, and more so this month as the Buddha’s blessings shower upon all of us. Your dignity allows others to see you as noble, poised, selfpossessed. You’re also creative, expressive and very entertaining (very funny sometimes), dramatic (in a good way), romantic (hidden) and playful. If anyone acts proud of themselves, praise them. They will find your response remarkable. You understand pride.

As you grew you sought new sources of happiness. Where are your loyalties now? Nurture and shelter your origins. Give thanks for your early years. They refined the goodness you experience within yourself now. Build your home on these.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Perceptions are heightened concerning the environments you find yourself in. You seek to improve and enlighten them. This provides you with tasks and purpose, two things you need in order to feel comfort and a sense of beauty. Contact siblings, close friends, walk through neighborhoods, take short trips and listen to kirtan, learn Sanskrit. Draw the Diamond Sutra. This way you reach into the Light.

You will ask what are the collective objectives as you define future hopes and wishes. If they are not practical you will make them so. New ideas become ideals, illuminating your mind.

TINA SHORT, 38-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
Occupation: Artist/painter (tinashort.com) Hobbies: Mountain biking, hiking, hanging out with my kids/family and friends, painting (yes!) cooking Astrological sign: Libra What first got you to Shopper’s? I would come shopping with my mom when I was about 10. She would send me to the meat department with a list. I was really shy as a kid, and that was one way of coaxing me out of it. As a teenager I had crushes on a few of the butchers. I went from shy to becoming excited about riding my bike here to shop! When I first lived on my own, I could only afford simple basic meals like barbecues, tacos, burritos, and pasta. When I became pregnant with twins, I nourished my body with more of Shopper’s meats and its beautiful organic veggies. It’s been an evolution.
You prefer shopping local? Absolutely. Shopper’s is a true home-town store. It’s old-school, comfortable and easy. I like the layout and that they don’t move things around like some stores do. And the size: Sometimes you need to squeeze by people in the aisles — I like having to make eye contact and I enjoy that momentary connection. I always run into someone I know and wind up having a conversation, even if it’s brief. The boys love it too! You guys like coming here? ZANDER: We like Shopper’s because everything is fresh, and it feels good to go to a place I know by heart. ROWAN: Ditto.
What’s your opinion of Shopper’s over-all pricing? I’ve priced it out. Shopper’s isn’t expensive, not for the quality you get. As a single mom and artist, if I can afford to shop here, then pretty much anybody can. I spend less money by shopping here more often, rather than shopping at big box stores and getting $300 worth of nothing! Thanks to Shopper’s, I can make an amazing meal with whatever’s in the fridge. We really like the marinated skirt steaks and the bloody mary pork chops, as well as the whole chickens, and ham hocks for split pea soup. Did I mention that everyone who works here is great?!
