OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE A lot of very talented arts writers are intimidated by the thought of writing about opera. After all, it seems like a secret world, requiring a lot of very specialized knowledge that makes it difficult to speak on authoritatively if one does not have an extensive background in it. That would seem to make sense, considering that many people are too intimidated to even go to an opera in the first place, even if they love going to the theater, live music and other types of shows. But should opera really scare us? I thought about this after seeing the new documentary RBG, about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The movie spends quite a bit of time exploring Ginsburg’s

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LET’S DO THIS

Twenty years, millions of dollars in donations, grants, and voter-approved funds, tireless efforts invested by advocates, all directed toward a common vision of transferring the utility of this rail infrastructure into an asset that will serve our whole community, and transform the daily lives of many who might choose to consciously design their lives around healthy, low-impact modes of transportation. The Rail Trail plan is the fastest path to a countywide, protected bike route. Infrastructure improvements have shown huge increases in bike commuting in other cities. With Santa Cruz kicking off a bike share program this year, bike transit will become even more convenient and this trail should happen ASAP to get us out of our cars! Why is a small group of folks trying to pull out the tracks? Everybody participating in this conversation is generally aligned around a singular vision to convert this valuable and unleveraged community asset to new uses that will reduce traffic and enrich our daily

passion for opera, and since she’s definitely smarter than most of us, one might assume she has some very high-minded, intellectual reason for it. But it turns out to be quite the opposite. She explains that she loves opera because of the escape it provides her after the stress of hearing cases and arguing law all day. It’s the fantasy of it that she longs to lose herself in. And isn’t that what we’re all seeking so often when we want to be entertained? Christina Waters’ cover story this week reveals that the people behind UCSC’s production of The Magic Flute are relatable, too. They bring the same passion to staging this opera that RBG brings to watching them. And reading about the care that’s been taken to make this a great show for a modern audience really makes me want to see it. If I can get over my fear of opera unworthiness, so can you—let Christina’s story be your guide. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

experience in Santa Cruz. No one involved has the data or foresight to accurately predict future needs or rapidly evolving transportation alternatives. The Rail Trail is a well-thought-out and fully funded plan that can benefit pedestrians and cyclists now and keeping the tracks to enable a future light rail solution will be a practical hedge while we continue this necessary debate about smart transportation alternatives to the car. Let’s do this. ROBERT ARKO | SANTA CRUZ

LEARN FROM OTHER CITIES Rail companies are largely exempt from local regulations, so I am deeply troubled by our Regional Transportation Commission’s choice of Progressive Rail to operate our rail corridor (GT, 5/2). Progressive Rail is deeply involved in the crude oil and fracking industry, and they expect to work with Lansing Trading to build a propane distribution facility in Watsonville. Our community must learn from the experience of Grafton, Massachusetts, which was unable to stop its local rail >8 operator from building a propane

IN THE BACKGROUND

REST IS HISTORY

With the city of Santa Cruz’s quarter-cent sales tax headed to the June ballot, money is on many residents’ minds. The Budget 101 Forum will be 7-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 31, in the Police Community Room at 155 Center St.. City representatives will share their fiscal 2023 sustainability strategy, including pension reforms, costsharing and how to expand resources to sustain services through the next economic slowdown. For more information about the city’s proposed 2019 budget, please visit cityofsantacruz.com.

The Museum of Art and History is celebrating and remembering fallen veterans with a Memorial Day Remembrance event from 11 am.-1 p.m on Monday, May 28 at Evergreen Cemetery. There will be a pop-up museum honoring those who’ve served. Museum organizers encourage visitors to bring objects, memorabilia, or photographs that honors your memory of a loved one, family member or friend who has served or is serving our country’s armed forces.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 23 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

The Aries poet Anna Kamieńska described the process of writing as akin to “the backbreaking work of hacking a footpath, as in a coal mine; in total darkness, beneath the earth.” Whether or not you’re a writer, I’m guessing that your life might have felt like that recently. Your progress has been slow and the mood has been dense and the light has been dim. That’s the tough news. The good news is that I suspect you will soon be blessed with flashes of illumination and a semi-divine intervention or two. After that, your work will proceed with more ease. The mood will be softer and brighter.

My counsel may seem extreme, but I really think you should avoid mildness and meekness and modesty. For the immediate future, you have a mandate to roar and cavort and exult. It’s your sacred duty to be daring and experimental and exploratory. The cosmos and I want to enjoy the show as you act like you have the right to express your soul’s code with brazen confidence and unabashed freedom. The cosmos and I want to squeal with joy as you reveal raw truths in the most emotionally intelligent ways possible.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

French novelist Honoré Balzac periodically endured intense outbreaks of creativity. “Sometimes it seems that my brain is on fire,” he testified after a 26-day spell when he never left his writing room. I’m not predicting anything quite as manic as that for you, Scorpio. But I do suspect you will soon be blessed (and maybe a tiny bit cursed) by a prolonged bout of fervent inspiration. To ensure that you make the best use of this challenging gift, get clear about how you want it to work for you. Don’t let it boss you. Be its boss.

Do you know what you are worth? Have you compiled a realistic assessment of your talents, powers and capacities? Not what your friends and enemies think you’re worth, nor the authority figures you deal with, nor the bad listeners who act like they’ve figured out the game of life. When I ask you if you have an objective understanding of your real value, Taurus, I’m not referring to what your illusions or fears or wishes might tell you. I’m talking about an honest, accurate appraisal of the gifts you have to offer the world. If you do indeed possess this insight, hallelujah and congratulations! If you don’t, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to work on getting it.

GEMINI May21–June20 Now is a favorable time to worship at the shrine of your own intuition. It’s a ripe moment to boost your faith in your intuition’s wild and holy powers. To an extraordinary degree, you can harness this alternate mode of intelligence to gather insights that are beyond the power of your rational mind to access by itself. So be bold about calling on your gut wisdom, Gemini. Use it to track down the tricky, elusive truths that have previously been unavailable to you.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 “A poem is never finished; it is only abandoned,” wrote poet W. H. Auden, paraphrasing poet Paul Valéry. I think the same can be said about many other kinds of work. We may wish we could continue tinkering and refining forever so as to bring a beloved project to a state of absolute perfection. But what’s more likely is that it will always fall at least a bit short of that ideal. It will never be totally polished and complete to our satisfaction. And we’ve got to accept that. I suggest you meditate on these ideas in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Paradoxically, they may help you be content with how you finish up the current phase of your beloved project.

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

I highly recommend that you spend the next three weeks hanging out on a beach every day, dividing your time between playing games with friends, sipping cool drinks, reading books you’ve always wanted to read, and floating dreamily in warm water. To indulge in this relaxing extravaganza would be in maximum alignment with the current cosmic rhythms. If you can’t manage such a luxurious break from routine, please at least give yourself the gift of some other form of recreation that will renew and refresh you all the way down to the core of your destiny.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Contemporaries of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras told colorful stories about the man. Some believed he was the son of a god and that one of his thighs was made of gold. When he crossed the Casas River, numerous witnesses testified that the river called out his name and welcomed him. Once a snake bit him, but he suffered no injury, and killed the snake by biting it in return. On another occasion, Pythagoras supposedly coaxed a dangerous bear to stop committing violent acts. These are the kinds of legends I expect you to spread about yourself in the coming days, Virgo. It’s time to boost your reputation to a higher level.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Ancient civilizations waged war constantly. From Mesopotamia to China to Africa, groups of people rarely went very long without fighting other groups of people. There was one exception: the Harappan culture that thrived for about 2,000 years in the Indus River Valley, which in the present day stretches through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Archaeologists have found little evidence of warfare there. Signs of mass destruction and heavy armaments are non-existent. Art from that era and area does not depict military conflict. One conclusion we might be tempted to draw from this data is that human beings are not inherently combative and violent. In any case, I want to use the Harappan civilization’s extended time of peace as a metaphor for your life in the next eight weeks. I believe (and hope!) you’re entering into a phase of very low conflict.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Every human being I’ve ever known, myself included, has to wage a continuous struggle between these pairs of opposites: 1. bad habits that waste their vitality and good habits that harness their vitality; 2. demoralizing addictions that keep them enslaved to the past and invigorating addictions that inspire them to create their best possible future. How’s your own struggle going? I suspect you’re in the midst of a turning point. Here’s a tip that could prove useful: Feeding the good habits and invigorating addictions may cause the bad habits and demoralizing addictions to lose some of their power over you.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “Some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle,” said author Franz Kafka. I suspect this idea will be especially relevant to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. And more than that: In addition to books, other influences may also serve as keys to unfamiliar rooms in your inner castle. Certain people, for instance, may do and say things that give you access to secrets you’ve been keeping from yourself. A new song or natural wonderland may open doors to understandings that will transform your relationship with yourself. To prep you for these epiphanies, I’ll ask you to imagine having a dream at night in which you’re wandering through a house you know very well. But this time, you discover there’s a whole new wing of the place that you never knew existed.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Just for now, let’s say it’s fine to fuel yourself with comfort food and sweet diversions. Let’s proceed on the hypothesis that the guardians of your future want you to treat yourself like a beloved animal who needs extra love and attention. So go right ahead and spend a whole day (or two) in bed reading and ruminating and listening to soul-beguiling music. Take a tour through your favorite memories. Move extra slowly. Do whatever makes you feel most stable and secure. Imagine you’re like a battery in the process of getting recharged.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: KELLY LUKER When Kelly sent me the book to read here in Hawaii she asked that I give her some feedback. As a former public defender in Santa Cruz who used her services a lot, I can

say that she was the best P.I. I ever worked with—and I worked with some good ones. By the time she got done interviewing a witness, you not only knew what they knew but she also utilized her newspaper reporter skills and gave you a rich picture of who this witness was so that when you met them in trial you felt that you knew them already. She helped me in many a jury trial. As for the book, I was surprised at how it accurately captured what it is like to be a public defender in the trenches. It was a great read by a great writer. P.S. I was not “Jeremy,” thank god. — SEAN GALLAGHER

NEWS CRUDE PRACTICES Petroleum firms fund attack mailers on assembly candidate

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY TOM GOGOLA

The state’s petroleum industry is spending $320,000 in the District 30 State Assembly race to defeat fundraising frontrunner Robert Rivas. The San Benito County supervisor hopes to succeed Anna Caballero, who is running for State Senate this year and represents a district that stretches from Morgan Hill to King City and includes Watsonville and all of San Benito County. The San Rafael law firm Nielsen Merksamer Parrinello Gross & Leoni, which counts BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Phillips and Valero Energy Corporation among its clients, created the Coalition to Restore California’s Middle Class, Opposing Robert Rivas for Assembly 2018. It’s the first time the industry has targeted a local official seeking higher office. Rivas was at the forefront of San Benito’s Measure J, which banned fracking in 2014 despite a $2 million push funded by large petroleum companies to defeat it. San Benito was California’s first county to enact a ban on fracking and associated oil extraction technologies, including acid well stimulation treatments and cyclic steam injection; a similar effort failed in Santa Barbara after the San Rafael law firm led a $7.6 million campaign funded by large petroleum producers. Monterey and Santa Clara counties both passed anti-fracking laws in the wake of the San Benito win. This year, there’s a push in San Luis Obispo County to enact a similar ban. Rivas is a Hollister resident who has been on the board of supervisors since 2010. His campaign decries the ads against him as misleading, negative and personal. Among other things, the ads criticize Rivas on public safety. Rivas is running against a fellow Democrat, former prosecutor and lawyer Peter Leroe-Muñoz, as well as Bill Lipe, whose campaign is funded by agricultural interests in the Greenfield, San Ardo and Salinas areas. The primary is on June 5. Rivas opponent Leroe-Muñoz, a Gilroy councilman, is on the same page when it comes to the contentious extraction process. “I do not support fracking,” he says. Nielsen Merksamer attorney >16

FACE OFF Candidates in the District 4 Santa Cruz County supervisor race from left: Jimmy Dutra, Leticia Mendoza, Felipe Hernandez, Nancy Bilicich and Greg Caput.

Valley Rallies

Four candidates are taking on Supervisor Greg Caput in Pajaro Valley this June BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

hile mounting his effort to win the Santa Cruz County Supervisor District 4 seat in this year’s election, City Councilmember Jimmy Dutra has made meeting people face to face a priority. “I wanted to make sure I personally reached out to as many voters as possible. The community really appreciates it,” he says. It’s a trait that may come in handy, given that it’s also a strength of the man he’s challenging, Supervisor Greg Caput. After successfully mounting a campaign against then-incumbent Tony Campos in 2010, Caput held off his

opponents, including Dutra and former Watsonville Police Chief Terry Medina, four years ago. And even after eight years on the job, Caput often doesn’t look the part of a local politician. His tie isn’t always straight, nor his hair always combed. In meetings, he asks questions about basic information that often come off as confusing to others in the room. Nonetheless, his successful re-election campaign four years ago demonstrated that what can come across as a lack of savviness to political insiders has translated to relatability for many Pajaro Valley voters. Caput campaigns hard,

speaking with locals in Spanish and remembering people’s names. He says he’s already knocked on 4,000 doors this year. Not to be outdone, Dutra says he and his mother, Terry TavarezDutra, have knocked on more than a combined 6,000 doors since January. Caput had made passing term limits a part of his campaign in 2010, but he was never seconded by any of his fellow supervisors, and the issue never came to a vote. He had originally said he would only run for two terms, but after getting calls to run again, he’s asking voters for four more years. Whereas other supervisorial districts >14

NEWS VALLEY RALLIES <12 seldom draw serious challengers, District 4 is shaping up to be one of the hottest races of the year. Like in 2014, Caput is running against a formidable field of challengers—Dutra again, as well as City Councilmember Nancy Bilicich, City Councilmember Felipe Hernandez and Watsonville YMCA Executive Director Leticia Mendoza. The candidates are taking shots at the incumbent’s leadership, questioning his ability to take on the issues facing the Pajaro Valley area. Dutra, who finished third in 2014, has now garnered nearly four years of city council experience and just graduated from USC’s school of public policy. Dutra, who accuses Caput of not being “present,” is also currently the first openly gay city councilmember in Watsonville. “As I have been walking around the county and talking to people, their biggest issue is that Caput doesn’t respond,” he says. “People have had major road issues and there has been no attention brought to that. I am going to be someone who is going to respond to the people in the district for issues that have gone unaddressed for so long.” The primary is June 5, and if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote getters will advance to the November ballot. Dutra says that even though Watsonville is home to major companies like Driscoll’s, Granite Construction, West Marine, and Martinelli’s, serious equity issues persist in South County. Even as Caput confounded much of the local political establishment, he did earn the endorsement of former county treasurer and state legislator Fred Keeley four years ago. This year, however, Keeley’s endorsing Felipe Hernandez, who Keeley believes has a better sense of the community than Caput does. “Greg is a good guy. He is somewhat unusual, he is a different kind of guy,” Keeley says. “He’s not a big policy guy, he doesn’t have much impact on the board of supervisors, and I think that’s another major issue for people in the fourth district. But I haven’t changed my

view of him. I changed my view of who is the best person to represent the district.”

SOUTHERN CHARM Another candidate, Leticia Mendoza, is currently South County representative on the Cabrillo Community College District Board of Trustees and executive director of the Watsonville YMCA. She says South County routinely misses out on major transportation and educational investment opportunities. Originally from Mexico, Mendoza moved to Watsonville at age 15 and went to Watsonville High School. After getting her doctorate in Urban Planning from Columbia University, she moved back to Watsonville in 2009. “It is important to have more representation on the board of supervisors,” she says. “Caput has been there eight years already, and I haven’t seen much of a change in South County.” When Mendoza accepted a position as director of the YMCA, the facility was about to close, and she helped to turn it around, she says. Mendoza says her background in planning and public administration makes her a strong candidate. “I decided that either I should get involved or stop complaining, so I got involved,” she says. “I’m happy with the work I have accomplished at the Y, and now I think it’s time I move forward and apply what I know.” Caput says he isn’t phased by the other four candidates vying for his spot, and is focused on his own campaign and making sure everyone is represented and heard. “I am running on who I am and I am running on my voting record,” Caput says. “I will continue to speak out. Even though I am on the short end of votes 4-1 on the board, it’s important someone speaks up and represents other opinions, because minority opinion today might be the majority opinion later in the future.” Caput considers his largest successes to be the construction of a local mental health facility, currently underway, and a dental

clinic in Watsonville, as well as a funding increase for the Santa Cruz County Immigration Project, for those applying for U.S. citizenship and documentation. If elected, Caput says he’ll remain committed to the Pajaro River flood protection project, which would ensure 100-year flood protection for the Pajaro River levee.

MEETING IN THE MIDDLE Watsonville City Councilmember Nancy Bilicich has termed out of the council, having served more than nine years representing the city’s easternmost region. Though she says she’s proud of what she has accomplished, Bilicich is ready to move on to tackle countywide issues and has ideas to get South County voters more involved in the issues before the Board of Supervisors. “All of the [board of supervisors] meetings are in Santa Cruz, and they want more involvement from the Watsonville community, so why can’t we meet in the middle?” Bilicich says. “It’s very difficult for our residents to go all the way to Santa Cruz.” Although Bilicich doesn’t have a specific location in mind, she hopes to convince the board to hold some meetings in Aptos or Mid-County. Having served 10 years as the director of Watsonville/Aptos/ Santa Cruz Adult Education, Bilicich says her connections make her a great choice for the District 4 seat. “Collaboration is a key. It’s just like being on the City Council. If you want to get somewhere, you can’t always just have one vote,” Bilicich says. “I have a good relationship with [District 2 Supervisor] Zach Friend, and then it just takes one more person. I have worked with them all on the zone 7 flood project and would like to continue that relationship and expand it even more.” Bilicich says that she’s proud of the street sweeping program she implemented as mayor. She supports the rail trail plan to build a bike and pedestrian trail alongside the county’s coastal railroad tracks. One of >17

TAKING FRACK As a San Benito County supervisor, Robert Rivas led the move to ban fracking in 2014. The petroleum industry is now spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat his bid for State Assembly. The primary is on June 5.

CRUDE PRACTICES <12 Steven S. Lucas is listed as the attorney of record for the political committee. He did not respond to phone calls and an email seeking comment. The Nielsen Merksamer firm was instrumental in helping defeat Santa Barbara’s Measure P, and the firm opposed the 2006 California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), which aimed to reduce the state’s greenhouse-gas emissions. “We advise our ballot measure clients

on all aspects of campaigning,” the firm’s website reads, “from initiative drafting and filing, contesting ballot language and other pre-election litigation, observing and potentially contesting the final vote, and post-election substantive challenges.” Rivas was on the campaign trail over the weekend, and says he’s not surprised at the petroleum industry’s moves against him. “That is unfortunately politics in 2018,” he says. “Being in this process for the first time, this Assembly seat is a regional office and it’s certainly been a unique experience, and it’s unfortunate that the oil companies

have chosen to play dirty politics by attacking me personally with misleading attack ads and attempts to deceive voters. The fact that I took on the oil industry to protect the community against fracking— that’s why I am the subject of these attacks.” Rivas believes that the attacks on him will only make a Sacramento political climate fraught with divisiveness even more toxic. “The civility question—it plays to a larger concern as to why people have very little faith, have very little confidence, in elected officials and government in

general,” he says, noting that the energy lobby never met with him during the Measure J push. “They viewed my position against fracking as against their interests.” According to campaign materials, numerous officials, organizations and citizens have leapt to Rivas’ defense, including State Sen. Bill Monning, the Sierra Club and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta. “Robert Rivas took a bold stand against fracking in San Benito County,” said North Bay Assemblyman Marc Levine, who represents San Rafael in Sacramento and pushed for a failed statewide fracking moratorium in 2012, “and oil companies want him to pay a price. Fortunately, voters will have the last say.” Rivas opponent Leroe-Muñoz also addressed the petroleum industry campaign against Rivas in an interview this week. “Obviously it’s an independent expenditure, so we have no coordination with them,” he says. Citing his law enforcement background, he says, “I can’t speak to what their thoughts or motivations are, but I think that what is important is that they are raising an issue around public safety. That’s an issue that many residents have raised with me in the district.” The petroleum industry committee paid for a recent mailer which “addressed that issue in particular around Robert and public safety, and cuts that he made while he was on the board of supervisors,” says Leroe Muñoz. The Gilroy councilman has raised $80,898 in contributions, according to the contribution database on the California Secretary of State’s website, though Leroe Muñoz estimated the amount to be $140,000 in a Tuesday interview. Supervisor Rivas has brought in $451,432, according to state filings. Lipe has collected $93,537, and contributed $55,000 of his own money to his campaign. Leroe Muñoz, who supported a failed 2016 effort to develop 721 acres of North Gilroy farmland into a 4,000-home development, has received contributions from Gilroy development services firm Ruggeri-Jensen-Azar & Associates, Summerhill Homes CEO Joe Head, Gilroy concrete firm owner Don Alvarez, Gilroy residential developer The James Group and Peninsula developer Skip Spiering. Rivas draws much of his support from public employee unions, including teachers, nurses and municipal employees. Other contributors include state trial lawyers’ groups, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman and former Palm Inc. CEO Donna Dubinsky.

her top objectives, she says, is completing the Pajaro River flood protection plan. “I want the levee finished,” she says. “We have the largest senior community in the county, and those people have to pay high flood insurance and they are always worried about the rain. We can’t expect it’ll happen someday anymore, it needs to happen now.” Like Dutra and Bilicich, candidate Felipe Hernandez is a sitting Watsonville City Council member. As with some of his opponents, Hernandez says South County isn’t getting a fair share of resources. Hernandez points to a lack of county parks. There’s only one county park in the area, compared to “double-digit parks” in other districts, he says. “The city only has one soccer field, the school district has closed down access to their fields,” he says. “Soccer is not just soccer. It’s a need that we have in the community because 34 percent of our community is under 19, and we need to find things for them to do.” Hernandez adds that he feels there’s “a better way to represent this district, beginning at the point of addressing this inequity. That’s a good starting point.” He hopes to create more communication and collaboration among city and county leaders, especially to tackle the hot-button issues, like homelessness and transportation. “I think that if we work on these issues as a region, we will find better solutions,” says Hernandez, who also supports the rail trail. When it comes to housing, Hernandez supports the $250 million affordable housing bond planned for the November ballot. He says the housing crisis throughout the region is putting an extra squeeze on the Pajaro Valley. “In Watsonville, we are getting a lot of transplants from Santa Cruz, and that says something,” he says. “We need to address more affordable housing in Santa Cruz.”

Making Magic Why UCSC’s take on Mozart’s opera ‘The Magic Flute’ was a full year in the making BY CHRISTINA WATERS

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘I

t’s a fairytale—it doesn’t have to make sense,” says Sheila Willey with a grin, her face glowing from rehearsal antics. The tall, graceful opera director is referring to one of the best-loved operas of all time, The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, playing May 31-June 3 at the UCSC Recital Hall. Willey is busy finetuning the comic opera of good versus evil, love versus hardship that was a hit from the minute it premiered in 1791, two months before Mozart’s death. Performed by a cast of students from the university’s respected opera program, the spring production is becoming a popular tradition with local music and theater lovers. “The spring production is a full calendar year in the making,” says Willey. “My job is to spend the summer getting the design team coordinated. Then rehearsals begin!” Mozart’s beloved opera came together as a sort of vaudeville creation the composer contributed to a Viennese theater company led by Emanuel Schikaneder. Mozart kept writing little comic bits, spoken dialogues, and songs, duets, and quartets, while Schikaneder—who “borrowed” freely

from medieval romances and French essays—created the libretto. Eventually a freestanding Singspiel (spoken and sung) opera was born. That first performance must have been a wild ride. Schikaneder sang the lead role of Papageno, Mozart’s sisterin-law sang the torturous coloratura role of Queen of the Night, and Mozart himself played the glockenspiel and conducted. No elite target—not royalty nor religion—was safe from the opera’s delicious symbolism. The fun lies in not taking too seriously any of the circuitous story about noble lovers Tamino and Pamina, and their earthly counterparts Papageno and his darling Papagena. The Magic Flute has it all—a wicked queen, a lovesick prince, and the erratic saga of two rather silly and delightful pairs of lovers. Trios, duets, and solos—plus a few chorus scenes—abound in this, one of the world’s most famous operas. But there are also compelling vocal challenges: Mozart wrote music in this opera for the highest female voice, as well as a notoriously low bass role. In between, it’s singable by most levels of skill—hence it’s perfect for students in the UCSC Opera Program.

A YEAR IN THE MAKING

Planning for the 2018 season, Willey—collaborating with her UCSC colleagues Emily Sinclair and the opera’s orchestra conductor Bruce Kiesling—had to select an opera that “young students could sing. It’s an undergraduate program after all. And we had to figure out what the orchestra could do.” That meant plenty of background research. “I spent time reading through the score,” Willey explains, “reading about the opera and performance practice, watching productions on video.” She also collected images to draw inspiration from other designers about how the final sets and costumes would look. Collaborative brainstorming helped to tease out the themes that would then be translated into set design. Thanks to an alliance with San Francisco’s Academy of Arts University established by her opera program

predecessor Brian Staufenbiel, costume design was taken on by a graduate design class. “They get credit and experience, and we gain wonderful costumes. The university provides the venue and my salary. The production—sets, lighting, costumes—is entirely donor funded,” she says.

OPERA 101 “Students go home for the summer with audition arias to work on,” Willey says. "We cast it in November. Then they spend one quarter just learning the music— they have to memorize it, after all, and in German.” Willey herself lived in Germany for three years as a child, before returning to her native Iowa, and attending Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Once Willey finished her graduate work at UCSC, studying voice with Patrice McGinnis, she focused on teaching by giving private lessons in the Bay Area. “It

She began teaching voice at UCSC in 2014. Heading up the spring opera, Willey wears many hats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our vocal studies, I help them learn to sing Mozart, and as director I work on character development. We have a student dramaturge who has built a website about the original 18th century production.â&#x20AC;? The website also has lots of resources for the cast, including topics dealing with misogyny and 18th century racial stereotypes about Africans, both of which make the opera a challenge for 21st century performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have done some tweaking to the text,â&#x20AC;? Willey admits, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make it something students can feel comfortable with. I struggle with that a lot. We made Pamina [the Queen of the Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captive daughter, who she sends Prince Tamino to rescue] not quite so dependent.â&#x20AC;? And the villainous slavemaster Monastatos will not be a Moor in blackface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was how people in Europe thought back then,â&#x20AC;? she says of the characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncomfortable racial stereotypes.

REHEARSAL MAGIC â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so easy about staging Mozart is that all of the directions are in the music. He just wrote in the stage movements and the emotionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the emotion is very relatable. I tell the students itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about love. And it is,â&#x20AC;? says Willey.

She is moved by transformations opera can inspire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just watching the students, who might come here with no concept of opera, and then to see them do thisâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;she points to a room full of performers in T-shirts and torn jeans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It unlocks something, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilling, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to help that emerge in the students.â&#x20AC;? Rehearsals commit students to a year of work, two days a week at three-hour rehearsals. All of spring is spent staging, and the end of the school year culminates in performance. Opera is the complete artwork, director Sheila Willey Hannon contends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In charge of hearts and mindsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to do,â&#x20AC;? she says. The biggest challenges? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting the flow, and the entrances. The dialogues will be spoken in English, the singing in German. Papagenoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part is really the most workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much text.â&#x20AC;? Zade Dardari performs Papageno, who accompanies Prince Tamino on his quest, in the performances, and agrees with the director that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papageno is quite the challenge. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delightful,â&#x20AC;? says Dardari. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quick-paced, patter-based, and overly dramatic moments are just absolutely a thrill ride." He admits that the German language is a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But also fully embodying the clown that is Papageno. Who knew that being yourself could be so exhausting?â&#x20AC;?

<22 Underworld and the fall performance of Xochitl and the Flowers. Why is Mozart such a good choice for students? “There’s very little opportunity for boredom,” says Willey. “It’s essentially comedy, it doesn’t take itself very seriously. Yet Mozart is a genius—there are those moments that give me goosebumps every time.” Willey likes to work with her singer/actors, encouraging them to bring their own ideas into the mix. In rehearsals, she dashes up to the stage to demonstrate movements, and then invites players to come up with their own decisions. In rehearsal, Willey works inventively, demonstrating movements and reinforcing successes. A soprano sings a gorgeous line—“experiment with that,” Willey suggests. “Act it out—put a pause in between the words.” The line is sung again, with a pause between two phrases. “That

was a thousand times better,” Willey says. “I think one of my strengths as a performer is a passion for communication,” she says. “And I hope I inspire the students to connect and share their passion with the audience. The rewards of being a teacher are great—maybe greater than being a singer. Art is something we need.”

A PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE “I’m new to opera,” says sophomore music major Olivia Adolph, who performs the role of Second Spirit in Thursday and Saturday performances of Flute, “and it’s been exciting getting to learn exactly how it differs from the singing I’m used to. Everything in opera has to be learned inside and out. We have to know not only the music, but what it means, the emotions it portrays,

<24 and how it relates to the rest of the opera. It’s really demanding and much more comprehensive than most of the other singing I’ve done, with great importance placed on acting.” Like the other performers, Adolph praises her director. “Sheila is extremely dedicated, and has a very clear vision about our production of The Magic Flute, and I’m very excited for everybody to see what we've been working towards,” she says. Singing the Queen of the Night, Bay Area professional soprano Ann Moss observes, “It’s such a physical role—the elaborateness of the costumes, the heavy headgear, the raked stage. But I’m excited about performing it.” How do you prepare for one of the most explosive arias in this repertoire? “In certain ways the stars have to align,” she jokes, “but

also you have to take care of the voice. And not eat too much.” Moss says she works with student composers and singers frequently, “and I have to say that these kids have it going on,” she says with a nod toward the UCSC singers rehearsing, “They are the future of music. And I can tell you they are not being groomed to have a diva complex.” THE MAGIC FLUTE Directed by Sheila Willey and conducted by Bruce Kiesling, featuring a score by W.A. Mozart and comic libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. Sung by UCSC music and opera students. Costumes by the Academy of Arts University’s design students, set and lighting by Legend Theatrical, hair and makeup by Jessica Carter. Sung in German with dialogues and supertitles in English. 7:30–10 p.m. UC Santa Cruz Music Center Recital Hall.

NEON DEEP An artist’s visualization of what the Soquel Avenue bridge will look like during Ebb and Flow.

Let There Be Lights MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Ebb and Flow brings cutting-edge lighting technology to its mission to draw attention to the San Lorenzo River BY WALLACE BAINE

ntil recently, the Soquel Avenue bridge over the San Lorenzo River had no conceivable connection with Wrestlemania, Coachella or Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. But thanks to the upcoming Ebb and Flow River Arts Festival, the

could transform public spaces as profoundly as digital effects have transformed the online world. “There is so much growth in so many areas,” says Stoll. “That’s what’s so exciting about where we are now. The technology is always changing. There’s always a new product, a new programming advancement. The question now is, does the market want it?” Referencing Steven Spielberg’s 2002 sci-fi epic that envisioned a world beyond computer screens, Stoll says, “Are we going to be living in a Minority Report world?” Along with the lighting display on the Soquel Avenue bridge, Visual Endeavors will also present an interactive art show at the Radius Gallery at the Tannery Arts Center, through the month of June. The gallery show will include an art piece featuring imagery of the bridge display that can be altered through interactive engagement with the viewer, along with a sculpture and a mixed-media piece that uses recycled material and lighting technology. All of this bleeding-edge tech will be put to use to a very low-tech purpose: to connect a public place to the natural world from which it springs. “It will be such a different world in 10 years,” says Stoll. “Will we have another renaissance of public spaces? How do we redesign spaces in terms of urban planning? What’s our current philosophy about these connective spaces? How do we create places oriented around people?”

Cruz County. This year, the festival takes place June 1 and 2 with a First Friday kick-off, a procession along the river, a dance party, and other events. But the legacy of the festival will be the lighting display on the bridge, which is expected to be up for months after Ebb and Flow has ebbed. Visual Endeavors began in Southern California, but in 2016, the company’s founder Altmark and his creative partner Stoll were both looking to get out of L.A. Stoll, a native Angeleno, had always had fond memories of visiting Northern California. “Aron and I both like mountain biking,” she says. “We visited here, thinking about [relocating] and we kinda said to ourselves, ‘What if we just did it?’” Before moving its base of operations to Santa Cruz, the company was doing well in L.A., serving a client list that included touring musical acts (many in iconic venues such as Red Rocks), big-ticket festivals, corporate events, dance performances and Wrestlemania. Ebb and Flow, however, is a change of pace for the company. Stoll says that the lighting display on the Soquel Avenue bridge is her company’s calling card to the community and the first effort in what the company hopes is an ongoing contribution to public art in Santa Cruz County. “We’re very excited to see what possibilities come out of this,” she says. Visual Endeavors is a vivid example of the growing presence of visual spectacle, especially when it comes to lighting, in live entertainment and other avenues of public life. At one time, razzle-dazzle lighting effects were considered an add-on at rock shows; now, they are expected to be an integral part of the package. Retail spaces, shopping districts and other urban public spaces are facing increasingly difficult competitive pressures and many are turning to lighting effects and other visual displays to attract more people. Holographic technology, virtual reality, augmented reality (in which real spaces are overlaid with digital effects through a device), lighting effects made possible by inexpensive LEDs and increasingly sophisticated software—are all part of a barely imaginable future that

ART FILES going to re-open some of the views to the Monterey Bay,” he says. He’s also incorporating artworks, such as the bronze sculptures that make up The Raven and the Wolf, by Sharon Loper, and a swirl of woven eucalyptus branches entitled Spirit Nest, by Jayson Fann. In barely three years at the helm, horticultural planner Quigley—trained in literature, with a Ph.D. in plant ecology—is just getting started. Enjoy the astonishing progress he’s making, just up the hill at the UCSC Arboretum.

First Growth MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

With a new sound installation open at the UCSC Arboretum, director Martin Quigley talks about his vision BY CHRISTINA WATERS

artin Quigley, director of gardens and grounds at the sprawling UCSC Arboretum, is a man with a mission. Well, perhaps quite a few missions. He wants the Arboretum’s collections to be sustainable and well-groomed. “It’s been cleaned up and injected with hidden gems,” he points out, on a vigorous hike through the aromatic acreage, currently in full opulent bloom. “There were many people in charge in the past,” he notes, “each in a different area—siloed— there was no overarching theme.” “The original plantation was 90 species of eucalyptus, a showcase for Mediterranean climates.

But,” Quigley recites his personal mantra, “it’s a garden!” Given his horticultural roots, the grounds director is determined to recapture a sense of intention, rather than the “let it be natural” mentality he believes to have unleashed rampant botanical laissezfaire. “No more invasive species,” he insists, as we sweep through the eye-popping collections of banksia, grevillea and protea loaded with extraterrestrial blooms. “It was just a collection,” he notes, “but it’s gotta be intentional.” Opening things up and cleaning things out have indeed offered vistas, nooks, terraced cacti and succulents, plus dramatic secret regions of shade where art

installations afford sanctuaries for meditative thought. He is not afraid to prune and delimb dying eucalypti, “You need to anticipate replacement,” he warns, “Don’t wait for death!” Quigley is also keen on the controversial but necessary plans for expanded parking. “It’s going to be a game-changer,” he promises. Added parking will allow fuller access to collections, trails, and facilities for an expanding membership eager to explore an Arboretum more beautiful than ever. Admitting that his project is understaffed and underfunded, Quigley has a one-word response to the question “What do you need?” “Money!” he says. Tending his ground “every day,” Quigley has plans. “We’re

Forest (for a Thousand Years) is a mesmerizing and deceptively serene 28-minute sound installation creating a magical space linked to the UCSC Arboretum through June 30. Originally commissioned by Documenta (13) in Kassel, Germany, the undulating soundscape is created by more than 30 digitallyprogrammed speakers placed within a small forest. Tuned for the acoustics of each forest in which it is installed, the piece is at once sitespecific and timeless. Renowned for their soundscape installations, Canadian artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller collected and curated the sounds for this work on their island home off the coast of British Columbia. The results are uncanny. Seated within the circle of speakers—which are placed and hung from trees adjoining the Arboretum—the listener experiences a flood of primal sounds, forest groanings, night birds, animal cries, floods, storms, crickets, birds, and on to marching armies, artillery, bombs, airplanes, wagons, stampeding horses, and finally an exquisite choral crown of sound, a Nunc dimittis composed by Arvo Part and performed by an Estonian chamber choir. A rich, surprising, and ultimately moving meditation on the interweaving of human life with the richness of the planet itself. In less than a half hour you will experience a forest in its ancient and future uses and guises. Do not miss this remarkable experience. arboretum.ucsc.edu. Noon-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Included in Arboretum visit $5.

MUSIC

LEAVING OOTISCHENIA Former Be Good Tanyas guitarist and vocalist Frazey Ford plays the Catalyst on Sunday, May 27.

Frazey Heart MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

After finding musical fame with the Be Good Tanyas, Frazey Ford finds her way as a solo artist BY CAT JOHNSON

hen Frazey Ford’s name is mentioned, it’s usually followed by “founding member of the Be Good Tanyas,” the Canadian all-female folk trio that wowed the world with its engaging brand of altcountry. But the Be Good Tanyas disbanded almost 10 years ago, and Ford has been hard at work growing her own music project since then. When asked if she gets tired of being attached to a group that hasn’t been around for a decade, Ford says definitely not—she’s proud of the work she and the other members— Samantha Parton, Trish Klein and

Jolie Holland—did, and credits the band for launching her music career. “It was a beautiful project,” Ford says. “I really value that experience and those artists.” Still, there’s a part of her that’s always ready for the next thing, she says. “It’s been a natural thing for me to move forward and expand in different areas,” she says, “but I’m still really moved by the music we did ... There was a period [where] I needed to distance myself from it to better define myself, but I feel very proud of that era.” Now an acclaimed solo singersongwriter, Ford has two albums under her belt. Her solo debut,

Obadiah, released in 2010, saw her blurring the line between folk and soul music, drawing comparisons to Dolly Parton, Ann Peebles and Feist. In 2014, she released Indian Ocean, then spent the next two and a half years touring the album, which features the Hi Rhythm Section, which is often credited with creating the Memphis soul sound as Al Green’s band. After touring Indian Ocean, Ford took eight months off to decompress and explore other creative passions. She sewed, painted, did pottery, and focused on raising her teenage son. “I was just sort of forgetting about it all for a while,” she explains.

A multi-dimensional artist who likes to experiment with creativity in all its forms, Ford finds that in order to move forward artistically, she needs to let go of who she has been. “It’s important to let go of the story of who you are to a certain degree, in order to be open to who you may become next,” she says. “You don’t want to be too attached to who you’ve already been. As your art cycles into the world, you don’t want to confuse that reflection back with who you are now.” When Ford is in a songwriting cycle, she writes consistently. When she’s not, she walks away until the muse strikes. When it comes time to put together an album, there are generally songs that have been “percolating,” but for the most part, she writes specifically for an album. Ford’s newest tune is a cover of Funkadelic’s, “Can You Get to That.” It’s a somewhat unexpected choice for a folk-pop songstress, but Ford makes the song her own. She was inspired by memories of planting trees as a youngster—something she describes as a right of passage in British Columbia. “I used to listen to music out in nature, doing hard labor under a hot sun,” she says. “Sometimes you’d have these mystical experiences where it’s just you and the labor. It becomes a potent moment.” One of those experiences was listening to “Can You Get to That,” and Ford decided to create her own version. It’s the first single from an album she’s currently recording at Afterlife Studios in her hometown of Vancouver. While working on the album, Ford is going to the beach, playing shows, raising her son and walking her dog. It’s all part of her attempt to stay true to her own process and not get caught up in expectations around her art. “You have to let go of the persona you embody as a public person or performer,” she says. “You have to forget about who you think you are in order to get back to the pureness of creation.” Frazey Ford will perform at 9 p.m. on Sunday, May 27 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/ door. 423-1338.

Last call to see Phantaura at the Felix Kulpa Gallery—likely the trippiest art you’ll see around town. Phantaura is a literal combination of the words “phantasmagoria” and “aura” into something completely open to viewers’ interpretations—weird, right? The show is an exploration of the dynamics between body and soul, mind and existence. Hosted by the Brain, Mind, & Consciousness Society, an interdisciplinary academic and social collective dedicated to connecting perspectives across the UCSC campus, the exhibit is meant to look into what lies beyond the conventional reality. The show wraps up on Friday, May 25 with a tea ceremony at 7 p.m. INFO: Gallery open Thursday-Sunday, Noon-6 p.m. Felix Kulpa Gallery & Sculpture Garden. 107 Elm St., Santa Cruz. felixkulpa.com.

LOCAL BAND

BB SINCLAIR The roots of local dream-pop surf group BB Sinclair stretch back to an unexpected place: Iceland. Primary songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Fernly Mueller-Tuescher, who is originally from Aptos, spent a year in Iceland from 2016 into 2017. While there, she was pretty lonely, and spent her time writing a lot of music. “I wrote it locked away in a bedroom in the winter. It’s a lot of introspective melancholy songs,” Mueller-Tuescher says. “I’m bad at keeping diaries, so I was trying to turn out a couple songs every week, preferably almost one every day, to sort of be processing day by day.” Upon returning to the Santa Cruz area, she spent some time working toward feeling better and improving her mental health. But those songs nagged at her. Initially she played them on a synthesizer with just vocals as a solo act called Fernly.

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“It was almost like folk music with electronic instruments,” MuellerTuescher says.

Then last winter, Mueller-Tuescher met Jillian Bean White (bass), Lauren Diquattro (drums), and Melody Egbert (synth), and turned her solo confessional project into a pretty rocking band with elements of synthpop, twee and surf. The group members also have a common bond in identifying as queer, and are also one of the few boyless bands in town. Currently they’re working on their debut full-length, which they hope to have out this summer. AARON CARNES

WEDNESDAY 5/23 FOLK

THE LADLES Masters of three-part harmony, the Ladles—comprising Katie Martucci, Caroline Kuhn, and Lucia Purpura-Pontoniere—blends swing, old-time, folk and more to create a handcrafted, downhome sound that brings to mind nights spent making music on the back porch while fireflies flit about and good friends catch up. The music is spacious and lovely. With instrumentation that impresses, harmonies that inspire, and an ability to capture the richness of the folk tradition without getting stuck trying to recreate the past, the Ladles is a quiet standout of the roots genre. Also on the bill: bluegrass outfit Mile Twelve. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $18/door. 335-2800.

CARLA DAL FORNO

JAZZ

MADELEINE PEYROUX When Madeleine Peyroux appeared on the jazz scene with her startling 1996 debut album Dreamland, she sounded eerily like Billie Holiday whether she was singing French chanson, vintage blues, 1920s pop tunes, or country standards. While she’s long since evolved out of her Lady Day affectations when it comes to her tone, her phrasing still lags well behind the beat, which can create delicious drama (or melodrama, depending on the tune). She puts her stamp on everything she sings, and her band is a state-of-the-art marvel, with guitarist Gregg Fine, bassist Paul Frazier, drummer Graham Haw-

Residing in the space between ambient music, experimental, indie rock and singer-songwriter territory, Carla dal Forno creates thoughtful, often gloomy, mood music perfect for rainy days, long nights and breakups. Hailing from Australia, dal Forno, who also contributes to the bands Fingers, Tarcar, and Mole House, currently resides in Berlin, but she’s built an international audience with her unique blend of styles and melancholy approach to love, loss and longing. This Thursday, dal Forno hits the Catalyst for what promises to be an emo-yet-engaging affair. Also on the bill: musician and photographer Tess Roby.

SATURDAY 5/26 ROCK

LAUREN RUTH WARD Described by the Los Angeles Times as “one of L.A.’s must-see frontwomen,” Lauren Ruth Ward is a psych-rock, blues-dripping rock and roller with a show-stopping voice and magnetic delivery that demands attention. A one-time hairstylist from Baltimore, Ward has reinvented herself as one of the city’s standout artists with a sound that spans the Black Angels, classic ‘70s rock, Chrissie Hynde and Lucinda Williams. Ward is rough, edgy and a rising star of the SoCal music scene and beyond. Also on the

MONDAY 5/28 POST-ROCK

GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR If you have a few hours to kill, you might want to sit down and listen to a Godspeed You Black Emperor song. In this age of instant gratification, you might be tempted to shut it off after the first 10 minutes of buildup, because you have 50 other things begging for your attention. But I suggest you stick it out, because this band is going somewhere with the quiet arpeggios, dramatic tension, droney guitars and eerie soundscapes. The Canadian experimental group, which started back in 1994, is really good at taking listeners on a journey that completely transcends the pop music experience. And live, it’s that much more spiritual. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $34.50. 423-8209.

New York punk duo Diet Cig has the most adorable backstory, which involves one interrupting the other’s set at a house show, and them instantly becoming besties and starting their own saccharine sweet pop-punk band that some doctors might suggest you listen to when you are having a bad day. The lyrics are just heavy enough, without being too political, dealing with issues of anxiety and music scene politics. You can throw this on when just about any of your friends hops in the car and have a massive singalong. AC

past two decades. Inspector, from Monterrey, is a great example. The band is a legit pop act in Mexico that fuses elements of rock, catchy hooks, traditional Mexican music, and (most importantly) plenty of ska. They are one of a million Mexican bands doing this. Another one, Genitallica (also from Monterrey), will be opening the show. AC

In 1971, jazz saxophonist and multiinstrumentalist Ornette Coleman (above) recorded Broken Shadows, an album that featured jazz greats Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and more. The album wouldn’t be released, however, until 1982. Paying tribute to Coleman—and particularly that lost album—is Broken Shadows, a group comprising saxophonists Tim Berne and Chris Speed, bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Dave King. Broken Shadows reworks iconic Coleman tunes, finding fresh angles along the way. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

UNLOVE STORY Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz co-star in ‘Disobedience,’ adapted from the book by Naomi Alderman.

Angels and Beasts MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Identity vs. conformity in nuanced ‘Disobedience’

ot on the high heels of his poignant transgender drama, A Fantastic Woman, filmmaker Sebastian Lelio turns again to the subject of freedom and identity vs. social conventions in Disobedience. But this time, the heroines’ adversary is not just society in general. The two women who dare to buck convention in the new film are members of a strict Orthodox Jewish community in London, where every transgression— every disobedience, particularly from its female members—is a sin of epic proportions. Adapted from the book by Naomi Alderman, Leilo and co-scriptwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz explore gender roles unquestioned for centuries

within this closed community, and their unacknowledged consequences roiling just beneath the surface. Lelio lays out this milieu with deft strokes, keeps us guessing about what the potential outcome will be, then applies his innate compassion to a conflict-resolution scenario that is both unexpected and perfect. Rachel Weisz stars as Ronit, an expat Brit with a thriving photojournalism career in New York City. Hearing that her father has died, the dynamic, beloved rabbi of a small synagogue in the Orthodox community she left behind in London, she heads home for the memorial services. The movie opens with the rabbi’s final sermon about God’s creations: angels, who have no

BY LISA JENSEN

desire to do evil, “beasts,” who have no desire to do good, and humans, who are gifted with free will to make a choice. (Pay attention; all these points figure into the plot.) Ronit arrives on the doorstep of Dov (Alessandro Nivola), her father’s anointed successor. Dov, her friend from childhood, seems surprised to see her, but offers her a place to stay. More surprising to Ronit is that Dov is now married to Esti (Rachel McAdams), also one of Ronit’s childhood friends. The slight fissure of tension between the three of them at first is not immediately explained, but we sense that Ronit departed the community suddenly, and that it caused a rift between herself and her father—and the community at large.

After Dov’s terse declaration that “Everything this week must be conducted with honor,” we get a glimpse into that community as the ceremonies of mourning continue. When the rabbi delivers a sermon in the synagogue, the women are segregated in a small balcony, away from the men. Most of the wives and mothers wear wigs, covering their hair because a woman’s hair is considered erotic (unlike the luxurious beards of the men). That Ronit leaves hers uncovered sets tongues wagging, as does the fact that she is single and childless by choice. It’s evident that men are not allowed to touch women to whom they are not married, so Dov and Ronit must resist the awkward impulse to hug each other when they reunite. But the scandal that shocked the community was not between the two of them, but involved Ronit and Esti. Ronit fled to reinvent herself and her life, while Esti allowed the community to swallow her up and define her. But it’s soon clear that the passion that flared up between them as teenagers has not cooled. It’s interesting that Lelio chooses not to approach the material as a love story. The two women have a strong (even scorching) physical and emotional connection, but the fate of their forbidden romance is not what the movie is about at all. Instead, the characters must make their own choices about freedom and identity. The actors explore every nuance of these characters. Weisz keeps Ronit poised between determined vitality and aching vulnerability. McAdams is the wild card as the more reserved Esti; her buried emotions smack the movie like a tsunami. Nivola is quite good as conflicted Dov, struggling to balance ancient principles with his sense of compassion. It would have been interesting to see more evidence of how these three had all been best friends before—a brief flashback, or even an old photo. But that’s a small complaint in this touching, beautifully tempered drama. DISOBEDIENCE *** (out of four) With Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, and Alessandro Nivola. Written by Sebastian Lelio & Rebecca Lenkiewicz. Directed by Sebastian Lelio. (R) 114 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Apparently millions of Star Wars fans have always wondered what Han Solo’s life was like before he encountered Luke and Ben in that Mos Eisley cantina. Not me! I figured it out when I was six. Basically, his early life story is: he came out of a plastic and cardboard box; moved into a house made of Lincoln Logs; flew around in a LEGO ship; made friends with a bunch of little green army men, with whom he invaded the fortress Darth Vader had set up on the couch; briefly dated Barbie; and then got lost for about four years behind some shelves that were too hard to check behind because there was an aquarium on top. I’m basing this all on what I witnessed at my house in 1978, but I think it’s pretty accurate and I hope this movie is careful to recreate the details accordingly. Directed by Ron Howard. Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke. (PG-13) 135 minutes. (SP)

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

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 AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR This MCU blockbuster is all over the map, from deep space to Wakanda to the U.K. Yet despite the shifts of scene, the dozenand- a-half lead characters, and changes of mood from comic to lethal—from colossal fight scenes to the Avengers’ usual battlefield backchat—the film is solidly entertaining and surprising. The flavors of this multi-movie sundae blend beautifully. And there isn’t that sense of the ride coming to an end as soon as the big final fight commences. Directors the Russo brothers seemingly always

have something to cut to—some new angle on this mad multiverse fight as big bad Thanos tries to gather essential jewels for the gauntlet he needs to complete his omnipotence. It is the first half of a two-parter—always a bringdown. The movie has infinity in the title, but there’s a sense of limits coming up. Given the roster of entertainments to come, we may be facing in 2018 what 1968 was to spy movies: a complete saturation, structures so big that they can’t be topped.Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. (PG13) 139 minutes. (RvB) BLACK PANTHER After months of jaw-droppingly cool trailers and ever-more revealing clips, anticipation for this latest Marvel comic adaptation is at a fever pitch. The character at the center of this story, T’Challa (played here by Chadwick Boseman), goes all the way back to 1966, and was the first character of African descent in a major American comic. Incredibly, it took more than 25 years of development hell for this adaptation to finally reach the big screen—but it’s finally here, primed to be one of the biggest movies of the year. Directed by Ryan Coogler. Co-starring Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Bassett. (PG-13) 134 minutes. (SP) BOOK CLUB Man, I was really hoping we were done with anything having to do with Fifty Shades of Grey. But while the trilogy itself may be mercifully over, we’re still getting blowback like this comedy about a group of older women who read the book and try to spice up their sex lives. Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda and Candice Bergen are all in this movie, by the way. Maybe it’s only fair as sort of a counterpart (or counterpoint) to the films that male actors like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau made late in their careers. Grumpy Old Men, meet Horny Old Women. Costarring Mary Steenburgen, Don Johnson, Richard Dreyfuss and

Craig T. Nelson. Directed by Bill Holderman. (PG-13) (SP) BREAKING IN Remember when Gabrielle Union was in high school movies like Bring It On and 10 Things I Hate About You? Well, she’s playing moms now—that’s right, she’s old, and so are you. At least she’s playing badass moms, though, like in this thriller where she has to protect her children from a home invasion. (PG-13) 88 minutes. (SP) DEADPOOL 2 If you don’t believe that this Deadpool series is genuinely weirding up Hollywood, take a minute to watch the trailer for this film in which Ryan Reynolds, in full Deadpool costume, plays cult painting icon Bob Ross. No, what I just wrote didn’t make sense, but it happened—which is also the story of Deadpool’s success. The movie was hilarious and ridiculous in all the right ways, and this sequel ups the ante. If you think comic book movies are too cookie cutter, this is the movie for you. Directed by David Leitch. Co-starring Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin and Leslie Uggams. (R) 119 minutes. (SP) DISOBEDIENCE Reviewed this issue. Directed by Sebastian Lelio. Starring Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, Alessandro Nivola and Anton Lesser. (R) 114 minutes. (SP) I FEEL PRETTY Amy Schumer is one of those comedians who a lot of people complain about, but secretly know is awesome. In this comedy, she secretly knows she’s awesome, after a head injury makes her think she looks like a supermodel. Will she learn to accept herself as beautiful even when she recovers? Chances are good! Directed by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein. Co-starring Michelle Williams, Busy Philipps, and Emily Ratajkowski. (PG-13) (SP) ISLE OF DOGS You don’t even have to consider yourself a “dog person” to get a kick out of this cheerworthy tale from Wes Anderson in which

political chicanery is thwarted by one plucky boy and a pack of domesticated canines, unfairly exiled to an offshore garbage dump, who rally round to help him search for his lost pet. The near-future Japan setting, a vivid soundtrack of Taiko drumming and Kurosawa samurai themes, and an impressive all-star voice cast make this a howling delight. Directed by Anderson. Featuring the voices of Bryan Cranston, Bill Murphy, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum and Tilda Swinton. (PG-13) 101 minutes. (LJ) LET THE SUNSHINE IN Juliette Binoche goes around saying funny Juliette Binoche things, being Juliette-Binoche-level awesome and looking for love in exactly the way you’d expect Juliette Binoche to do in this romantic comedy from French writer-director Claire Denis. Co-starring Xavier Beauvois and Philippe Katerine. 94 minutes. (SP) LIFE OF THE PARTY If you ever wondered what the 1986 cult comedy Back to School would be like if Melissa McCarthy starred in it instead of Rodney Dangerfield— and really, which of us hasn’t?— here’s the answer. McCarthy plays DeAnna, who decides to go back to college with her daughter. At first, of course, she’s a huge embarrassment to said daughter, but eventually she starts doing Melissa McCarthy things, wins everybody over and ends up with the nickname “Dee Rock.” Directed by Ben Falcone. Co-starring Maya Rudolph, Gillian Jacobs and Julie Bowen. (PG-13) 105 minutes. (SP) OVERBOARD Just last week, I was thinking, “You know what I wish they would remake? The forgotten 1987 Kurt RussellGoldie Hawn romantic comedy Overboard. Except switch it so the wealthy guy gets amnesia after he falls overboard, and then the woman convinces him they’re married.” And what do you know, here it is, starring Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez! By the way, I’m obviously kidding about having wished for this remake last week.

It was two weeks ago. Directed by Rob Greenberg. Co-starring Eva Longoria and John Hannah. (PG13) 112 minutes. (SP) POPE FRANCIS: A MAN OF HIS WORD Acclaimed director Wim Wenders was given full access to the pope for two years as he filmed this documentary. That’s pretty cool, but don’t you kind of wish it had been Werner Herzog? Forget two years, how long do you think Pope Francis could have taken Herzog following him saying things like, “Your faith in a supreme being is understandable as a meaningless attempt to bring order to a cruelly indifferent universe?” I’d say two hours. On the other hand, “the cool pope” would have given Herzog a hug, and he needs that. (NR) 96 minutes. (SP) A QUIET PLACE You may only remember him as the goofy straight man from The Office, but John Krasinski has been quietly writing and directing offbeat indie films for years. This one—which he directed, co-wrote, and stars in (with his wife, Emily Blunt)—could be his first big hit. Following the recent trend of smart, trippy horror thrillers, it’s about a family hiding from creatures that hunt using sound. (PG-13) 90 minutes. (SP) RBG Forget the Avengers, here’s a smart, sly, heartfelt documentary that’s really worth cheering about. As cunning as Loki, as grounded as Black Panther, legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wields her opinion with the impact and precision of Thor's hammer, and achieves actual change, fighting for gender equality under the law as she has for five decades of groundbaking decisions. (PG) 98 minutes. (***1/2) THE RIDER Shot in the badlands of South Dakota, this drama from Chinese-born writer-director Chloe Zao is winning praise for its authentic treatment of a story about a young rodeo rider who is thrown from his horse and suffers a crippling injury. (R) 104 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK milk fat. That’s quite the opposite of “low fat.” If yogurt were a triplecrème Brie—one with extra cream added to bump up its butterfat content—it would be Peak Yogurt. Thick, creamy, with a very clean finish, this San Francisco product fearlessly embraces butterfat content. Peak Triple Cream Yogurt just might be the ultimate experience in yogurt. So thick you could (almost) stand a spoon straight up in a container, Peak Yogurt is currently available for $2.65 at New Leaf Markets. The day I looked for Peak Yogurt, it was available in flavors of Plain and Vanilla. A Strawberry version is also made by the Peak people. The Vanilla version is barely sweet (using teensy amounts of organic cane sugar), impossibly decadent in its creaminess. The Plain version could easily substitute as an organic version of sour cream. You think I’m exaggerating? I invite you to try it for yourself. OK, so there are a few calories involved here. But life’s too short to not indulge in this sensational yogurt. peakyogurt.com.

A happier hour at VinoCruz, plus a yogurt so decadent it moonlights as dessert BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ine tasting is one thing. Wine tasting along with a creative variety of Happy Hour enticements … that’s our idea of a Happier Hour. If you’re smart enough to check out the intimate VinoCruz tasting room—devoted solely to fine wines made in our Santa Cruz Mountains viticultural region—and if you do so during the 3-6 p.m. Happy Hour, you’ll be deliciously rewarded. How rewarded? Check this out: Tap & Taco Tuesday offers $5 tacos and $2 off beer on tap. Wednesdays during

Happy Hour enjoy 25 percent off the Winery of the Month selections (Integrity Wines are this month’s featured premiums). Thirsty Thursday generously gives us 20 percent off all by-the-glass libations—wine, beer and cider! And Flatbread Friday—now a big local favorite event—features half off all of the house flatbread pizzas. Very good house flatbread pizzas, that is. So now you know what you’re doing for your next Happy Hour excursion. I’ve done the thinking—you do the drinking. VinoCruz is located at 4901 Soquel Drive, in Soquel. Open 3-9 p.m. Tuesday-

Thursday; 3-10 p.m. on Friday; noon-10 p.m. on Saturday and Noon to 8p.m. on Sunday. Closed Monday. vinocruz.com.

EXTREME CREAM Product of the Week: Peak Yogurt. The name says it all. Not just a name, Peak Yogurt is also a description of the product, a yogurt so creamy it makes ice cream taste like skim milk. Think of it as extreme yogurt, yogurt without apologies, yogurt for grownups. How does it do that? This all-organic product made from the milk and cream of pasture-raised cow offers us the unbelievable experience of triple cream content—16-percent

Make plans to check out the new developments in Aptos Village on June 9 while tasting wines by 10 of our top local wineries. The Aptos Wine Wander concept is cozy; the wines will be poured at a variety of Aptos Village businesses located on Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch Road. Wine Wanderers will be encouraged to walk business-tobusiness to explore the shops and sample wine. “We are excited to be a part of this whimsical, communityoriented event that draws people into locally owned businesses while showcasing the amazing wines made in our region,” said Mary Gourlay of Barry Swenson Builder, which is developing the Aptos Village Project. The event is 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, June 9. Proceeds benefit local elementary schools, and tickets (including commemorative glass) are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. Essentially, this allows those who have been curious about the ongoing construction in Aptos Village to take a peek, while checking out their favorite existing businesses and sampling some of our best regional wines. scmwa.com.

Food Not Bombs Group started by Keith McHenry celebrates 38 years BY JACOB PIERCE

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ack when Keith McHenry cofounded Food Not Bombs with some friends in Massachusetts, the group was a small one—spreading political messages about peace and feeding the poor. The effort has since gone worldwide, and it’s celebrating its 38th anniversary here in Santa Cruz starting Wednesday, May 23. McHenry, who moved here a few years ago, says the four-day celebration will include lots of music and art. The main event will be Soupstock 2018, from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, May 26, by the downtown Post Office.

You call it Food Not Bombs, but come on. Was anyone really ever serving bombs to people? KEITH MCHENRY: The name came about because I was a produce worker at Bread and Circus [in Cambridge], which is now a Whole Foods, and it was one of the earliest natural food stores that had organic produce. A lot of it was left on the shelves every day. Any produce market has that issue, and so I started taking it to the housing

projects a few blocks away. And across the street was this brand new building where it turned out they were designing nuclear weapons. I looked into it and they were designing the guidance system for intercontinental nuclear missiles, and the place was called Draper Laboratory. That was one of the things that inspired me to think of the name Food Not Bombs.

Food Not Bombs is all vegetarian, mostly vegan. Was it that way from the beginning? From the very beginning. We didn’t know the term vegan in 1980. We were all mostly vegan, although some of us would eat yogurt or cheese. The food was almost always vegan, but we called it vegetarian. The 38th anniversary celebration of Food Not Bombs runs from Wednesday, May 23 through Saturday, May 26, with events at the Museum of Art and History, the Resource Center for Nonviolence and the streets of downtown Santa Cruz.

If you sign up for Stockwell’s newsletter, you’ll be in the know about their fun happenings. Eric’s daughter Jessica Stockwell is not only a gracious hostess in the tasting room, she also helps her dad make wine. And congratulations are due as she is now a certified sommelier—not an easy feat. Stockwell Cellars participated in Dare to Pair last month, an event pairing intricate dishes prepared by students in the Cabrillo College culinary program with wines from vintners in the Swift Street Courtyard complex. I was one of the four judges—and we all loved the wines at Stockwell’s, as well as the lively vibe in the tasting room. On June 1 (First Friday), look for Uncie Ro’s Pizza Oven serving wood-fired pies. Stockwell’s motto is: Drink well. Live well, Stockwell. I’m sure we all agree.

tockwell Cellars’ current releases consist of nearly 20 different wines—so you won’t be short on variety when you visit the tasting room. I stopped by for a flight of wine recently and was smitten with the 2016 Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains ($35). Aged in steel, rather than oak barrels, the result is a bright, flinty wine with a “lovely body and lingering creamy finish.” Swirl it around your glass and admire its beautiful golden color as you inhale its lively bouquet of white flowers, stone fruit and lemon zest. Flavors of green apple and fresh pineapple enhance the wine’s clean taste on the palate— an ideal wine for summer fare or pairing with a cheese plate. Talking of cheese, Stockwell Cellars offers delicious plates of Manchego, Gouda and triple-crème Brie with organically grown almonds, apricots, olives, crackers, and chocolates for $20 that is “generous enough for two to share.” It’s advertised as “more than a cheese plate!” Winemaker Eric Stockwell and his wife Suzanne Zeber-Stockwell run the business, and are always

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GEMINI FESTIVAL OF HUMANITY, GOODWILL Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 23, 2018

The New Group of World Servers (NGWS) prepares this week for next Tuesday’s full moon festival, also called the Gemini Solar Festival of Humanity, Goodwill & World Invocation Day. Occurring at 7:20 a.m. (West Coast time) May 29, at 8 degrees Gemini, it is a time in which the NGWS, along with the Christ (present World teacher) and Hierarchy (inner spiritual world government), distribute to humanity the Shamballa force (blessings of Love from the Father, our God, Sanat Kumara from Venus). This blessing, via the Buddha at the Wesak Festival, is the Will-to-Good, which, when received by humanity, becomes Goodwill. It has been held in trust by the Christ, the Hierarch and the New Group of World Servers since last month’s Wesak Festival. It is therefore a most potent time for humanity and the Earth. At each of the three spring festivals (Aries, Taurus & Gemini) the Spirit of Resurrection releases forces to restore (Aries), enlighten (Taurus) and reconstruct (Gemini) the

MAY 23-29, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

This month you focused on values and possessions while seeking a meaningful state of security. There’s a possibility of identifying only with what you physically possess. But consider more deeply your worth and value. That you are valuable. This identity is a first step. Then focus on creating a secure and sustainable foundation, built to last, that supports all of life with sensitivity and comfort. Share, too.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You must anchor yourself awareness as a calm and innovative leader who offers important information to the world. Everyone who listens acquires a new level of curiosity and intelligence. Through stability, research and discipline, you provide needed direction for others. You are a “light bearer.” Self-identity begins with having true knowledge. You are the mentor and teacher for this.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

GEMINI May 22–Jun20

Cosmo D’s Outrageous Edibles are the synergistic result of one man’s love for cannabis and 25 years as an Executive Chef.

For the next month or so you will take pride in creating harmony with all interactions and relationships. You will need to be close to loved ones, perhaps one in particular. You drop one or more of your veils of protection, know you’re safe being vulnerable and begin to say what you truly, deep down, want and need. Social skills become easier. Peace results. This is a rare time for you. Observe it carefully.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You have very high hopes and goals, sometimes (oftentimes) unexpressed. It would be good if you could communicate what’s in your heart. Sometimes you have a tolerance of others. Sometimes not. More and more you’re called to unify the heart and mind. This calls for a focus not on emotional choices but on true knowledge. Your close friendships are most important. Keep them close.

You have special and unique qualities combined with a deep level of creativity. Call forth opportunities to express yourself each day. Often you communicate with a dry sense of humor, a bit of drama and lots of fun. Eventually those who need to, notice you, and this leads to new work ventures and adventures. Recognition (and compensation) calms your sense of restlessness. Children are most important.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Lic.CDPH-T00000699

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

All that you do concerning your work and profession relates to your sense of identity. Each day it’s most important to have activities planned and to produce work that is your very best. It is also important to create Right Relations with all of the kingdoms. If these are not practiced each day, you somehow feel less than, and sadness and loneliness follow. Upon waking each morning plan your day with intention to be a good steward to all you contact. The results are surprising.

What goals, successes and accomplishments are you seeking? It’s important to realize ambitions hold a secret purpose. When we recognize our ambitions, our energy is focused and concentrated. All levels of leadership are important for you. Leadership unlocks creativity. Some Leos are shy. They are quiet yet powerful leaders. It’s about ambition which becomes aspiration, which is identity and purpose.

and concentrated. The usual way of life is not enough. You want to go deeper, wider and higher. Everything unexplored becomes magical and fascinating. Like the Hierarchy (inner world government), you move in two directions—inner and outer realities; diving into deep waters, rising up to heaven itself—creating the Cross of Life. Libra balances all levels. Stay in balance.

You are radiant when you serve others. Your love opens the hearts of everyone, especially those with closed hearts due to hurt and trauma. Because of this task and gift, you require times of reflection, seclusion and rest. Your understanding and compassion brings healing balm to those in need. Do not allow yourself to feel lonely. You are not alone. Your Soul, your angel and all of us, stand with you.

livingness of humanity and Earth. The Gemini Festival harmonizes all dualities and polarities; thus, it is also the Festival of Right Human Relations. “Each year at the Gemini festival, the Christ preaches the last sermon of the Buddha to the assembled Hierarchy and everyone recites the Great Invocation, Mantram of Direction for Humanity. The Gemini festival is a festival of invocation and appeal for cultural, religious and spiritual unity. It represents the combined work of the Buddha (Eastern teachings) and of the Christ (Western teachings)—creating a synthesis. “In the future all three festivals will be kept throughout the world and through them, a great spiritual unity will be achieved and the Great Approach (Reappearance of the World Teacher), so close at this time, will be stabilized by the united invocation of humanity throughout the planet.” (A. Bailey)

Virgos turn their focus to the environments around them, especially to gardens and the well-being of the kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal). Virgos have very high ideals. They can control their restlessness, use their vast state of organized knowledge and become quite curious and adventurous. You realize, while being with humanity, that we are all brothers and sisters in one family.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Desires for experiences have become more intense

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You are private and protective about your personal life, home and family. You seek to find a deeper sense of security and a foundation from which you can work. You want to integrate all life endeavors under one roof. This is most practical and allows for creativity. You seek emotional attachments so that your heart is not lonely. Find a home first. Fill it with all that you love. Plant a garden, even a small one. And trees. Friends come by. They love you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You take walks each day because you need a change of scenery, you need to touch life in all its forms, but especially you need nature, trees, the sky and garden devas. You adapt well, but only to a point. You are a teacher needing to teach. You are curious about others, asking questions a lot. Others don’t understand this. You understand sharing. Sometimes you’re sad. You need music all the time. Kirtan.

Place the steaks in a ziptop bag, pour the marinade over the steaks and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Before grilling, remove the steaks from the bag and pour the remaining marinade into a small pan. Bring the marinade to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Use this sauce to drizzle on the steaks as soon as you remove them from the grill. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for high heat. When up to temperature, grease the grates with a little oil, then place the steaks over the hottest part of the grill. Depending on the thickness of the steaks and the temperature of the grill, the steaks should grill about 3 minutes per side for medium rare (flank steak is best served medium rare). Remove the steaks from the grill, drizzle with the sauce and let them rest for 5 to 7 minutes.

SALLY ADAMS, 17-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Co-owner Village Yoga/yoga instructor Hobbies: Dancing, ukulele, hiking, nature, cooking Astrological Sign: Scorpio Who or what first got you shopping here? I had moved to the neighborhood and learned that all my neighbors shopped at Shopper’s Corner. I checked it out because I thought I might be missing out on something good. I ended up loving the small-town feeling of Shopper’s, and I liked the size. Ever since it’s been my go-to store for all my groceries: raw milk, bread, organic produce, great wines, and more. I love the butcher shop’s grass-fed beef, Mary’s chicken, and their salmon. Shopper’s is like the “Cheers” of grocery stores; people come from all over the community. It’s an amazing gathering place.

What do you like to cook? Currently, I’m really into making dhal, and I make my own chicken and mineral broths. I made the broth — called “magic mineral broth” — every week for six months for a friend who fought — and won! — a battle with cancer. I have two teenage sons, and I make homemade pizza quite often using Bob’s Red Mill flour for the dough, and I use their recipe to make the “perfect pizza crust.” I also make the best mac and cheese where I combine all the ingredients and then broil it. We also do burritos, tacos, plus soups and salads. Shopping at Shopper’s is always fun!

How so? Shopper’s is intimate, and you’re kind of forced to talk to people. And being local— I’m a local business person — I believe strongly in supporting local businesses. With its onsite ownership, there’s a strong positive presence, a good-vibe energy, that you don’t find elsewhere. Shopper’s caters to what the community wants and provides high-quality products which are not expensive. They do an amazing job — they’re smart! Shopper’s is convenient — that’s important! — because of its parking and quick checkouts with baggers. That’s part of living healthy… lessening your stress, right?
