OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I think sometimes when people see that someone has been named “artist of the year,” they gloss right over it. Especially if they don’t recognize the name, and even more so if they’re not particularly familiar with the art form. That could certainly happen with this year’s Santa Cruz Artist of the Year winner Cheryl Anderson. Though she’s been a part of the Cabrillo community for nearly three decades, she has made her mark in choral music—which is way, way off the radar of most people. What I love about this week’s cover story by Christina Waters is

LETTERS

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS

Contrary to Robert Arko’s ( GT, Letters, 5/22) unsupported assertion, those who support the quicker, cheaper, safer bike and pedestrian option for the railroad right-of-way are not “a small group of folks.” Rather, we are thousands of your neighbors and community members. Even the RTC admits that a passenger rail service will cost millions of tax dollars in subsidies that could be used for more sensible transit solutions, and will not significantly impact our current traffic problems. If there’s a small group of folks involved in this issue, it’s the transportation bureaucrats, construction execs, and nostalgia buffs who are pushing the expensive RailTrail boondoggle. I urge your readers to visit trailnow.org/rail-trail-questions to get a look at a reasonable proposal. Let’s start building our Santa Cruz Greenway now! MORDECAI SHAPIRO | Santa Cruz

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: RENT CONTROL My rents have historically been under market. It has been better to keep tenants

that it reminds us of the meaning of an award like Artist of the Year, and reveals the incredible story of the person whose name many of us might have otherwise glossed over. Believe me, once you meet Anderson in this story, and hear how she’s impacted and uplifted the lives of the people who have had the good fortune to sing with her and learn from her, you will absolutely understand why she is Artist of the Year, and why it matters. I think this is a huge part of GT’s mission as a part of the alternative press: to uncover and explain how people we may have never heard of, or whose work we may not have previously understood, are impacting our community. In a very positive way, in this case. Congratulations to Cheryl Anderson, and thanks for reading!

at reasonable rent rather than deal with turnover costs. Unfortunately rent control is a game changer. I now need to “price in” the additional risk and costs associated. As my units vacate I need to increase rents significantly to cover additional tenant regulatory costs. Most people don’t realize that rental units in a beach town work on a 2-3 percent rate of return. Think about that for a second. Would you be willing to deal with tenants, legal risks, potential catastrophes, city permitting bureaucracy and everything else for 3 percent? Just something to think about. — SANTA CRUZ RESIDENT AND RENTAL OWNER

Jacob, your articles are always well done. Your rail trail articles were excellent and this continues your good work. On this subject we all have opinions, and I don’t live in the city limits, so I am not going to be affected by the Santa Cruz rent control. I am a empty-nester with a four-bedroom three-bath house. My wife and I have been doing work on our house to split it into a two-unit duplex. We have stopped all work on our project until we see if this will affect the rest of Santa Cruz County. We are a future >8

LITTLE PICK-ME-UP

GARDEN SUPPORTERS

Big Pete’s Treats, a trailblazer in the world of California’s cannabis-infused cookie industry, is expanding its annual beach cleanups far beyond its Santa Cruz home. This year’s summer of environmental events is a tour starting in San Diego on Saturday, June 2, with five stops along California’s coast. This year’s effort, which won an environmental award from the San Francisco Chronicle, will culminate with a cleanup in Santa Cruz on Oct. 13 in honor of founder Pete Feurtado’s birthday.

The California Fertilizer Foundation (CFF) is a real group that apparently gives out grants, and it isn’t as crappy as it sounds! The CFF is hosting a presentation at noon on Wednesday, May 30, at Happy Valley Elementary School. The CFF School Garden Grant will fund improved soil quality for the school’s edible garden and help perennial plants attract pollinators. The school garden uses a Life Lab curriculum from UCSC to educate students about healthy food and nature through garden-based education.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 30 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 A critic described Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the Mona Lisa as “the most visited, most written about, most sung about, most parodied work of art in the world.” It hasn’t been sold recently, but is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today it’s kept in the world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris, where it’s viewed by millions of art-lovers. But for years after its creator’s death, it enjoyed little fanfare while hanging in the bathroom of the French King Francois. I’d love to see a similar evolution in your own efforts, Aries: a rise from humble placement and modest appreciation to a more interesting fate and greater approval. The astrological omens suggest that you have more power than usual to make this happen in the coming weeks and months.

“Dear Oracle: I find myself in the weird position of trying to decide between doing the good thing and doing the right thing. If I opt to emphasize sympathy and kindness, I may look like an eager-to-please wimp with shaky principles. But if I push hard for justice and truth, I may seem rude and insensitive. Why is it so challenging to have integrity? - Vexed Libra.” Dear Libra: My advice is to avoid the all-or-nothing approach. Be willing to be half-good and half-right. Sometimes the highest forms of integrity require you to accept imperfect solutions.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

These days, many films use CGI, computer generated imagery. The technology is sophisticated and efficient. But in the early days of its use, producing such realistic fantasies was painstaking and time-intensive. For example, Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park featured four minutes of CGI that required a year to create. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will summon equivalent levels of old-school tenacity and persistence and attention to detail as you devote yourself to a valuable task that you love. Your passion needs an infusion of discipline. Don’t be shy about grunting.

You have waited long enough to retaliate against your adversaries. It’s high time to stop simmering with frustration and resentment. Take direct action! I suggest you arrange to have a box of elephant poop shipped to their addresses. You can order it here: tinyurl.com/ ElephantManure. JUST KIDDING! I misled you with the preceding statements. It would in fact be a mistake for you to express such vulgar revenge. Here’s the truth: Now is an excellent time to seek retribution against those who have opposed you, but the best ways to do that would be by proving them wrong, surpassing their accomplishments, and totally forgiving them.

On February 17, 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev had an appointment with a local cheese-making company to provide his expert consultation. But he never made it. A blast of inspiration overtook him soon after he awoke, and he stayed home to tend to the blessed intrusion. He spent that day as well as the next two perfecting his vision of the periodic table of the elements, which he had researched and thought about for a long time. Science was forever transformed by Mendeleyev’s breakthrough. I doubt your epiphanies in the coming weeks will have a similar power to remake the whole world, Gemini. But they could very well remake your world. When they arrive, honor them. Feed them. Give them enough room to show you everything they’ve got.

are currently on vivid display, with new plot twists taking your drama in novel directions. Want to get started? Compose the first two sentences of your memoir.

Ninety-five percent of your fears have little or no objective validity. Some are delusions generated by the neurotic parts of your imagination. Others are delusions you’ve absorbed from the neurotic spew of other people’s imaginations. What I’ve just told you is both bad news and good news. On the one hand, it’s a damn shame you feel so much irrational and unfounded anxiety. On the other hand, hearing my assertion that so much of it is irrational and unfounded might mobilize you to free yourself from its grip. I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to wage a campaign to do just that. June can and should be Fighting for Your Freedom from Fear Month.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 During the next four weeks, I’ll celebrate if you search for and locate experiences that will heal the part of your heart that’s still a bit broken. My sleep at night will be extra deep and my dreams extra sweet if I know you’re drumming up practical support for your feisty ideals. I’ll literally jump for joy if you hunt down new teachings that will ultimately ensure you start making a daring dream come true in 2019. And my soul will soar if you gravitate toward the mind-expanding kind of hedonism rather than the mind-shrinking variety.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Everyone has a unique fate that’s interesting enough to write a book about. Each of us has at least one epic story to tell that would make people cry and laugh and adjust their thoughts about the meaning of life. What would your saga be like? Think about what’s unfolding right now, because I bet that would be a ripe place to start your meditations. The core themes of your destiny

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Marketing experts say that motivating a person to say yes to a big question is more likely if you first build momentum by asking them smaller questions to which it’s easy to say yes. I encourage you to adopt this slant for your own purposes in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to extend invitations and make requests that you’ve been waiting for the right moment to risk. People whom you need on your side will, I suspect, be more receptive than usual—and with good reasons—but you may still have to be smoothly strategic in your approach.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I bet you’ll be offered at least one valuable gift, and possibly more. But I’m concerned that you may not recognize them for their true nature. So I’ve created an exercise to enhance your ability to identify and claim these gifts-in-disguise. Please ruminate on the following concepts: 1. a pain that can heal; 2. a shadow that illuminates; 3. an unknown or anonymous ally; 4. a secret that nurtures intimacy; 5. a power akin to underground lightning; 6. an invigorating boost disguised as tough love.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 When I was a kid attending elementary schools in the American Midwest, recess was a core part of my educational experience. For 45 minutes each day, we were excused from our studies so we could indulge in freeform play—outdoors, if the weather was nice, or else in the gymnasium. But in recent years, schools in the U.S. have shrunk the time allotted for recess. Many schools have eliminated it altogether. Don’t they understand this is harmful to the social, emotional, and physical health of their students? In any case, Aquarius, I hope you move in the opposite direction during the coming weeks. You need more than your usual quota of time away from the grind. More fun and games, please! More messing around and merriment! More recess!

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 For many years, actor Mel Blanc provided the voice for Bugs Bunny, a cartoon character who regularly chowed down on raw carrots. But Blanc himself did not like raw carrots. In a related matter, actor John Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy and horseman in many movies, did not like horses. And according to his leading ladies, charismatic macho film hunk Harrison Ford is not even close to being an expert kisser. What about you, Pisces? Is your public image in alignment with your true self? If there are discrepancies, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make corrections.

TOUCH POINT Inna Dagman in a craniosacral therapy session. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

A Healer’s Hands Craniosacral therapist Inna Dagman on every human’s innate power to heal themselves BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS more than a decade ago and had not thought about in years. Starting and finishing at the ankles, Dagman moves her hand placements, in long intervals of gentle pressure, through various points of the spine, neck and head. There are moments of scalp-tingling pleasure, sure, and the feeling of tension melting away, but make no mistake about it: craniosacral therapy is not massage (though Dagman is a certified massage therapist, specializing in Thai floor massage.) It’s more like a nervous system reboot, if you will, with its hands-on healing roots in antiquity. “There is such a thing as a craniosacral rhythm, which is separate from the breathing rhythm, separate from the heart rate. And that rhythm

is the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the craniosacral system,” says Dagman. Encompassing various membranes and soft tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and the bony structures of the spine, cranial bones and sacrum, the craniosacral system is the primary system in our body that encases and protects the central nervous system—whose function is vital to our overall health. Trained at the Upledger Institute, Dagman has been practicing craniosacral therapy for three years now, and working out of the Westside Healing Arts Center for two. Blockages and “energy cysts,” which we can carry around for years, occur when the body encapsulates accumulations of foreign energy or traumas—physical

raniosacral therapist Inna Dagman places her hands around my Achilles tendons and heels, and I am immediately aware of how warm her hands are. In less than a minute the room falls away, along with an avalanche of adult worries. It’s safe to say that I spend the rest of my first-ever craniosacral therapy session on the edge of sleep. My breathing slows and my mind, settling into the cushions of hypnagogia, puts its feet up to watch whatever images and thought segments are offered up by the alpha and theta brain waves that have taken over. I’m in my garden, mostly, and then on the rugged coast above Pablo Neruda’s Chilean home Isla Negra—a place I visited

or emotional—to protect itself. “Those areas in our being have a very different quality to the touch of the craniosacral therapist. So we can find them and then we can hopefully release them,” she says. Dagman was born in Siberia, where, if a healer was called to a rich household and a poor one simultaneously, the healer would attend to the poorer one first. With that ethos, she often shares her gift for healing pro-bono. Among others, she’s worked with women at the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center who have experienced abusive relationships and addiction cycles, and she traveled to India in 2015 with the nonprofit New Light India to share craniosacral therapy as well as belly dance instruction with women and girls in forced sex work. Her dream next step is to bring craniosacral therapy into prisons. Dagman sees the body, mind and spirit as inseparable. And while she’s passionate about the modality’s potential for healing spiritual and emotional traumas‚ traversing those realms depends fully on the intent of the client, she says. While craniosacral therapy can address a variety of symptoms and conditions, including pain brought by injury, surgery, and the accumulated stresses of modern day life, it’s also a valuable way to stay healthy, as it nudges the body into a self-healing state. “As practitioner, I guide you, but I am not the one doing it. It is your own wisdom that leads the session, your own innate doctor,” she says. Placebo or not, the days following my first session are marked by a shift in perception. For those on a healing path, this gentle yet effective technique works well in conjunction with other healing modalities, including talk therapy and especially with acupuncture, as they both work with the body’s energy system. “Every human being is perfect wherever they are on their unique journey,” says Dagman. “I’m just there to meet them and see what is there to release. With love—it’s not a personal love, but a complete lack of judgement, complete presence.”

NEWS DEVIL MAY CARE New Santa Cruz chapter of Satanic Temple horns in on beach clean up

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY MAT WEIR

Lana Navalia is used to people asking her about animal sacrifice—in fact, she says, it’s usually the first thing they ask her about. That kind of comes with the territory when you’re connected to a group that goes by the name “Satanic Temple,” and Navalia is one of the leaders of the new Santa Cruz chapter. For the record, Satanic Temple members don’t sacrifice animals, and they don’t believe in Satan as an actual entity, but as a symbol. “For us, Satan is a metaphor for the ultimate rebel,” says Sadie Satanas, head of the Satanic Temple of Santa Cruz (TSTSC). The Satanic Temple is also very different from the Anton LaVey “Church of Satan” that many people associate with Satanism. Rather than LaVey’s message of autocratic, self-indulgent narcissism, the Satanic Temple promotes equal rights for all people and social justice. Established in 2012 in Salem, Massachusetts, Satanic Temple founder Lucien Greaves describes the group next evolutionary step from what LaVey started. The Temple’s embrace of Satan as a symbol seems to come out of its innate sense of pranksterism, as well as its members’ passionate activism around the separation of church and state—like when they trolled Florida Gov. Rick Scott in 2013 over his support of a bill which allowed prayer in school—since the bill didn’t specify what kind of prayers were allowed, school kids must be allowed to pray to Satan, they argued with tongue firmly in cheek, but political aims clear. Locally, Navalia hopes the Santa Cruz community will think of Temple members first and foremost as good citizens; to that end, TSTSC adopted Seabright Beach through Save Our Shores earlier this month. Beginning Saturday, June 2, TSTSC will spend a year doing monthly debris removal and trash pick-ups. “We want to show that you can be anyone, not just a Christian, and still be a good person,” explains Satanas. Santa Cruz, meanwhile, loves an underdog, and commenters took to the internet to encourage the group’s activism posts like “These Satanists sound like super citizens,” and “Thank you for >16

Railing Against

Greenway supporters ask where Progressive Rail contract will take Santa Cruz County BY JACOB PIERCE [Editor’s note: This is part four in a series about future of the rail corridor. Part five runs on June 13.]

ech consultant Will Mayall has been scratching his head, trying to solve a puzzle. Mayall, who worked for Apple in the mid-1980s, spends much of his time on the phone, giving advice to startups. But over the last few months, he’s devoted more hours to studying the sometimes controversial recent history of the county’s coastal rail corridor, digging through public records on the Regional Transportation Commission’s informational pages and deciphering how they all fit together.

Mayall serves as a boardmember for Santa Cruz County Greenway, a nonprofit advocating for the removal of the tracks along the county’s publicly owned rail corridor, in favor of an extra-wide bike and pedestrian trail—in opposition to the RTC’s established rail-alongside-trail plan. And Mayall says that the commission, which owns the corridor, is rushing into a new draft agreement with Progressive Rail, a Minnesota-based freight operator, too hastily. He can’t figure out why, he says, but he believes the RTC hasn’t been forthcoming in its explanations. Mayall worries that the possible 10-year deal with Progressive Rail would shift control of the rail corridor

to the company, getting in the way of plans for both passenger service and a possible trail-only solution. Given those concerns, Greenway supporters say they have an important message for the RTC as commissioners get ready to vote on the contract with Progressive on Thursday, June 14. That message can essentially be summed up in six words: We could do so much better. If the long-winded rail trail saga were a romantic comedy, the RTC and Progressive would be standing at the altar, ready to get hitched— while Greenway, which has an admittedly strained relationship with the RTC, runs down the aisle yelling “I object!” >14

NEWS RAILING AGAINST <12 Mayall is imploring the commission to offer more of an explanation as to why Progressive is the right fit. After all, Greenway supporters say, the Progressive deal could even prevent the commission itself from getting what it wants. “They’re not intentionally driving us into a bad place,” Greenway Executive Director Gail McNulty says of the RTC, “but they’re making choices that could lead us there eventually.”

PROG LOCK Mayall says the RTC has “manufactured a false sense of urgency,” but RTC officials say they’re required to pick a new operator as soon as possible. Shannon Munz, a spokesperson for the commission, tells GT that because the RTC bought the rail corridor with California bond money, the state will mandate that it continue freight service, per guidelines under the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB). Late last year, Iowa Pacific, the previous operator, announced its desire to pull out of the agreement, although it still isn’t clear what penalties, if any, the RTC would face should it decide to put the issue of its next freight operator on hold. An STB spokesperson told GT via email that he and his colleagues were unable to answer questions on the matter, as they were too “hypothetical.” McNulty says Progressive could have a big impact on the county, and not necessarily in a positive way. “The biggest standout problem with the contract,” she says, “is that the vision is out of line with what the community wants for the corridor.” Whereas Iowa Pacific was something of an absentee freight operator, known mostly for storing rail cars, Progressive officials have bragged to county leaders about their ability to get involved in bringing economic vitality to the area. When it comes down to it, though, McNulty fears that Progressive will either fail in its money-making mission—like its predecessors before it—or bring in long trains of cars that will

clog the line, making for a noisy, unattractive corridor once the RTC finishes repairing the track to allow Progressive to travel the length of the local 32-mile line. As the commissioners prepare to vote on the contract, they have yet to receive results from the Unified Corridor Study, which will outline suggestions for the major local transportation arteries—Highway 1, Soquel/Freedom and the rail corridor—and is expected to come out in six months. If the RTC ever tries to introduce passenger rail service on the corridor, which the study may recommend, McNulty says the priority given to freight service could make it difficult for passenger trains to move at an acceptable clip and get anywhere on time. Dondero, however, says there could be a number of solutions. It’s possible, he says, that the freight service could run at night and that positive train control—a system that automates rail scheduling and is now coming online around the country—is making it easier for train companies to communicate and coordinate schedules. Dondero says this scrutiny is all a distraction from the bigger issue of locals stuck in traffic— especially those driving from the southern portions of the county and who want another way to get to work. Jason Culotta, Progressive’s public affairs director, says passenger and freight service coexist on railroads around the country, and that the company plans to respect the passenger rail schedule.

APPLIED MATH Mayall says there’s one other option the RTC could pursue, and it’s called “abandonment”—a process by which the STB lets line owners stop providing rail service if it’s no longer economically viable. If the corridor owner determines that circumstances have changed, they can re-apply to reverse the abandonment. Before the RTC bought the rail line, a 2010 appraisal referenced a consultant who found that there was “no chance that the STB would deny an application” from the owner to pursue abandonment of the corridor. The appraiser added that, in his

opinion, there was no way the STB would ever be profitable north of Watsonville, and he predicted that the RTC would seek to abandon the line immediately, which the RTC ultimately did not do. The appraiser found that it generally takes three to six months to get approval for abandonment, but he added that the RTC should qualify for an expedited process to speed things up, given that the Davenport cement plant had closed down by that point. GT reached out to the RTC for follow-up information, and, in an emailed statement, Dondero charged Greenwayers with “cherry picking” information from more than 10 years ago—the 2010 study references findings from 2005—and stressed that state transportation requirements demand the commission continue freight and passenger service. “Abandonment would not serve our community or our future, and would be entirely inconsistent with the policies of the RTC that have been established and confirmed over many years,” Dondero wrote.

CONTRACTUAL ORIENTATION The 28-page draft of the agreement with Progressive Rail is rich with detail. If the forthcoming corridor study finds that freight service won’t work on the southern portion of the corridor, for instance, Progressive would be released from the 10-year contract, and the RTC will be required to pay Progressive $300,000. Bike advocate Ron Goodman, who wrote an analysis breaking down the contract on his website bikeadvocacy.org, argues that this clause creates a conflict of interest that undermines the study. Dondero says the arrangement boils down to the cost of doing business. “The reason for that is that it costs them money to set up shop here. They have to lease locomotives and hire people and set up an office. There’s a lot of work that needs to happen before they even move one car,” he tells GT. The contract also prioritizes freight service over passenger rail service. >17

HIGH PROFILE

keeping our beaches clean.” But not everyone was pleased with the news, and some reactions were more typical of news associated with “Satanism.” “Thus, society falls further into oblivion,” one person wrote. “They need to save themselves before they save a beach,” wrote another. Immediately after the announcement, Bay Area broadcast news organizations KION, KRON and KSBW picked up the story, and Save Our Shores declined to comment to the reporters. However, Save Our Shores Executive Director Katherine Eckhart agreed to speak with GT, saying her group sees it all as much ado about nothing. “Save Our Shores is an inclusive organization and we have an antidiscrimination policy,” she says. “We met the group and are delighted to have another organization that wants to steward our shores.” “Let our actions speak louder than the misconceptions,” Satanas says.

Armed with its philosophy of promoting equality and rational thought, and its flair for the extreme, the Satanic Temple— which has 19 chapters in the U.S.—has become famous for its activism around the country. Some are legal actions, like its 2014 crusade to erect a statue of the goat-like occult icon Baphomet next to a Ten Commandments statue outside of the Oklahoma State Capitol—which was really part of the group’s drive to enforce separation of church and state. The Ten Commandments statue was eventually taken down and the Satanic Temple withdrew its application, but a similar battle is continuing in Arkansas. Other actions are even more fueled by satire, like in 2013 when the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) announced they were picketing the funerals of victims in the Boston Marathon Bombing to promote their anti-gay agenda. In response, Satanic Temple members went to Mississippi and performed a Pink Mass on the grave of WBC founder Fred Phelps’ mother, to “make Fred Phelps believe

that the Satanic Temple had turned his mother gay in the afterlife.” But here in the more open-minded Bay Area, Satanic Temple members say their fight means coming out of the shadows and into the everyday community. “Normalizing what we do is a way to fight for our rights in the future,” Satanas says. “People support when they understand.” The Satanic Temple of Santa Cruz was founded in March, Satanas explains, having originated as the San Jose chapter. Most of their leadership already lived in Santa Cruz, so the relocation made more sense than driving back and forth over the hill. “We’ve been working on [the beach clean up] project for five months,” she says. “But because of the relocation, everything was put on hold.” The fledgling group currently has around 15 active members, and their first public meeting will be held on June 2 right after their first beach clean up. They will also participate in this year’s Pride parade on June 3, continuing the tradition from last year when they were the San Jose chapter. “I hope it brings more attention to people wanting to clean up,” explains

Navalia, who is a Seabright resident. “The beaches are a mess.” Around here, even members of the Christian community get it. “I think it’s awesome,” says Greater Purpose Community Church (GPCC) pastor Christopher VanHall. No stranger to controversy, Santa Cruz’s GPCC—which is part of the Disciples of Christ denomination that preaches love and equality for all—was a victim of anti-LGBTQ hate several times last year, when vandals stole and destroyed their rainbow flag. VanHall admits he doesn’t know a lot about the Temple of Satan, but says he respects their stewardship of the Earth. He has even extended them an invitation to Faith On Tap, a biweekly meeting of all faiths where members can grab a few drinks and discuss not only theology, but also local social and civil justice activism. “Examining what they’re doing—which is what I think Jesus would have us do—it’s amazing,” he says. “If local evangelicals have something negative to say about it-—which I’ve seen a few online—by just looking at what they believe, they miss what Jesus was trying to communicate to the masses.”

There were other elements that raised eyebrows in the 28-page contract, like construction of a possible locomotive pit in the area around the Wrigley building in Santa Cruz. The contract additionally mentions a provision allowing the freight operator to store up to 100 cars on the corridor at any given time, each in designated zones, and none for more than two months. Each of those passages is a holdover that the RTC had negotiated into the previous freight agreements. Progressive owner and president Dave Fellon has said his company’s “not in the business of storing cars,” but that they may do it for a day or two here or there, as their customers request it. Progressive representatives have also announced that they want to remove the wording about the locomotive pit from the contract. “It was a feature of a previous agreement that the RTC had had,” says Culotta. “The reason they had it in there was they had a goal to keep a locomotive there that could be used to switch out cars. Since Progressive Rail has no intention of storing cars, we’re happy to have that removed from the wording.” If Progressive comes in, Culotta says the majority of Progressive’s freight customers would be local farmers, who could ship produce to other parts of the country—reducing their greenhouse gas emissions and potentially their costs, as well. He anticipates some of Progressive’s existing customers from the Midwest will also have an interest in expanding to California. There has also been concern over Progressive’s discussion of hauling propane into Watsonville. It isn’t clear whether city officials would be able to regulate the unloading of propane due to federal guidelines, according to a memo from the Watsonville city attorney to the City Council. As things move forward, the previous freight operator casts a long shadow over the line, as Iowa Pacific still owes the RTC about $80,000. Dondero won’t be holding his breath or waiting for a check to come in through the RTC’s mail slot. “When a check comes in, I’ll give you a call,” Dondero says. “I haven’t seen any money.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Organization Profile:

Mother Nature’s Temple Local artist and Klean Kanteen founder Robert Seals has set his sights on battling Nature Deficit Disorder — a non-medical diagnosis coined by journalist Richard Louv and based on evidence that lack of outdoor activity causes behavioral disorders in children.

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Seals explains that many people, including children and adolescents, have become so addicted to their phones that they aren’t getting outside into nature. Seal’s nonprofit organization, Mother Nature’s Temple, aims to change that.

“The value of nature on humans, especially children, in the age of screens is huge,” Seals says. “I teach art and there’s a music program too, but our main focus is taking kids into nature.” A program of Mother Nature’s Temple, “Bring Kids Into Nature,” is aimed at educating youth, particularly those who lack the resources or financial means to spend time in nature on land or out on the ocean. Mother Nature’s Temple was born out of the proceeds Seals

earned from selling Klean Kanteen in 2005. Seal moved his enterprise from Chico to Santa Cruz around ten years ago in hopes that it would be more accepting and progressive, and has since found his niche in the community. He owns 50 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains where Mother Nature’s Temple hosts camping, hiking and forest ecology programs. A 53-foot catamaran “Playtime” and large ocean canoes take to the water on outings to promote awareness of the marine ecosystem and environmental conservation. “Every time we go out there is something new and exciting,” Seals says. “The other day we had 30 kids who had never been on the ocean before and they had such a great time. We saw humpbacks, sea lions, otters—it was magnificent.” Seals hopes to reach a larger audience. He says they’ve likely hosted “a few hundred” kids to date, but after meetings with various groups and nonprofits like the Boys and Girls Club, that number will probably triple

this summer. Seals’ background boasts an impressive list of activism, art, education and environmental awareness, though he says it all boils down to community investment. Although the organization is debt-free, Seals is looking to expand its services. He also has a few business ideas up his sleeve like a new water bottle design. Seals would like to establish a longer-term line of credit as a safety net, in the event that the catamaran needs repairs and maintenance, and since he is a longtime customer of the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union (SCCCU), it was a natural first choice for support.

“You have more control and you are part of the local cycle when you are part of a small business,” Seals says. “The money stays here, the Credit Union is lending money to local people and are the best people to do it because they are familiar with them. The money they make then comes back and creates jobs, it’s really a beautiful circle.”

“The acronym for boat is Break Out Another Thousand or Too (BOAT),” Seals laughs. “Both of those apply, believe me, it’s an ongoing thing.” Seals says investing locally has a healthy and positive impact on the community; he doesn’t have to worry about big banks and their questionable investments.

Chorus as a Contact The vocal passion of Cheryl Anderson, Santa Cruz Artist of the Year BY CHRISTINA WATERS

Anderson is known for her charismatic smile and firm directing style—and for her eye-catching footwear, be it the spiky 4-inch heels she favors for conducting, or the more sensible pointy-toed stilettos she wears to rehearsal. First coming to Cabrillo College in 1991 as conductor of the Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus, Anderson has been the school’s Director of Choral and Vocal Studies for 27 years. Even after nearly three decades, the passionate teacher has kept her attitude fresh. “I love it so much—making sound that’s beautiful, and building relationships in music,” she says. “It’s what drives me.” Also the director of music at Santa Cruz’s Peace United Church, she recently served as president of the Western Division of the American Choral Directors Association. And on June 1, Anderson will be honored as Santa Cruz Artist of the Year. No one who has sung with her doubts that she deserves it. “Her success as a director is directly linked to her success as a teacher,” says Sherrie DeWitt, who has sung with her since the beginning of Anderson’s Cabrillo career. “She believes she can learn and she can teach almost anyone how to sing and interpret music— and I have watched her do it.”

INFECTIOUS ENERGY In rehearsal, Anderson never raises her voice. Her signature sparkle is usually enough to grab everyone’s attention, and those pointy shoes probably pack some magic of their own. If more is required, Anderson invites the group to “put buttissimos in seats.” Sitting at the piano, she begins a series of exuberant warm-

up exercises that amount to a boot camp of growls, buzzes, trills, and arpeggios—up and up the scale, then down and down again—until the entire room is vibrating with kinetic energy. No one is having more fun than Anderson herself—and it’s infectious. Full disclosure: I sing with the Symphonic Chorus. In a recent rehearsal, at the end of almost four hours of work, Anderson passed around a sheaf of new music. Before we even had time to groan, she had the group working through complex rhythm and key changes. When things didn’t work, she stopped us, made us clap the timing, then try singing through it again on a single vowel. If we didn’t get it one way, she tried another. By the second run-through of the music, it was almost perfect. I was watching nothing short of magic by a teacher who enjoyed the results as much as we did. Strict enunciation of consonants, especially at the end of a word, is expected—and astonishingly, Anderson gets results early in rehearsal schedules. Notes and text are learned by the second rehearsal, and then the detailing begins. Nuanced volume control, exact timing, are all cultivated in the service of her favored musical goals—joy, love, and when possible, redemption. Swooping is not tolerated and every note is given respect. Vocal dynamics—the loudness or softness of a musical phrase—those dynamics are rehearsed, again and again, until merely by raising her eyebrows she can work a roomful of singers through a flawless crescendo, from extreme pianissimo to full-on triple forté.

RAISING HER VOICE When I ask her about her famously coordinated look, she admits, “I just love shoes.” Her clothes are chosen to match them, be they the jeweltoned sweaters and skirts—plus sparkly earrings and necklaces—she favors for rehearsal, or the long Oscar-worthy gowns she wears for concerts. And she is candid about a deeper aspect of her celebrated dress code. “I was raised really poor,” she says. “And when you were out in public, you always had to represent your family. So it was important to look my best.” Anderson grew up in a large Pennsylvania family without the

expectation of going to college. “It wasn’t encouraged,” she admits. “There was never an expectation of anything. It became clear to me that I needed a career if I was going to go anywhere.” Singing with an honor choir in high school opened her eyes. “I realized that you could do music as a career. What an incredible insight. And I just never looked back.” Her choral music career was nurtured as an undergraduate at West Liberty University in West Virginia, where she met her mentor and friend Alfred deJaager. “He taught me to be meticulous, patient, and unrelentingly tenacious,” she says. “His work with vowels and phrasing formed the

Music weaves its way into the heart of Cheryl Anderson’s private life as well. Anderson met her husband while she was teaching in Virginia Beach. “He was Commandant of the Army School of Music based at Norfolk’s Navy Amphibious Base. And they needed a soprano for a production of the HMS Pinafore. So we met singing Gilbert and Sullivan,”

basis of my choices when preparing choirs.” The pivotal moment in Anderson’s career came thanks to legendary chorale director Robert Shaw. “I was doing doctoral work at the University of Cincinnati. My teacher was a protegé of Shaw’s, and we went to Atlanta to sing with him. It was a life-changing experience,” she says. Shaw’s legacy is alive and well with Anderson. “I’ve gotten copies of his masterwork scores. I have notes, I have all of his books. Many of us who sang with him still collaborate on Mr. Shaw’s legacy. There was nothing like him,” she recalls with something close to reverence. Her rehearsal techniques—count

singing, the refinement of pitch, rhythm drills, emphasis on enunciation—“that’s all Shaw,” she freely admits. Another key strategy was derived from Shaw, who would move singers around like pieces on a chessboard, not according to vocal parts or height, but in terms of the quality of vocal timbres. In essence “tuning” the chorus to enhance the overall mix. This technique produces distinct and often powerful results, as many of Anderson’s veteran choral members will testify. Meri Pezzoni, longtime director of Choral Activities at Aptos High School, has performed with Anderson’s Cantiamo group over the past 25 years. “How she trains and mentors her teaching assistants always impressed me. Many of them go on to become choral directors, soloists, and music industry people,” says Pezzoni. “She has an incredible knowledge of choral repertoire and its historical significance.” Anderson has a clear and supple soprano voice, but insists that she did not have ambitions to be a solo performer. “I always loved to sing, and I did a lot of solo singing, but when I began at the colleges my job was to teach, to prepare others to sing,” she says. Solo singing was “not something I burned to do. I just thought that we were doing this together. And I got to be the one who made the opportunity for the singers.” She considers this work to be an honor and a sacred trust. “She is a model of very professional behavior,” says DeWitt. “She is always very prepared, courteous to everyone—and she remembers names and faces.”

she says with a chuckle. “We dated for a long time. I had a lot of projects and he was busy with his job.” After three years, they married. When he moved back to Los Angeles for graduate work at UCLA, Cheryl went with him. “It took one concert for me to realize that Cheryl was extraordinary,” says her husband, John Anderson, who is now artistic director of Ensemble Monterey. “When we were first dating, it was her first year of teaching at Shelton Park Elementary School in Virginia Beach. She had these little elementary school children singing in three-part harmony and it was wonderfully musical. That’s just about impossible, and that’s when I knew.” Calling him “a great husband,” Cheryl describes him as the most resilient human being she can imagine. “There’s no friction,” says John, who also heads up Creative Arts at Monterey Peninsula College. “As a team, I think we are our best critics and best teachers. Cheryl is definitely a brilliant and gifted conductor, but what sets her apart from all the rest is her spirit of kindness, empathy, good humor and love both for the music and the people who make it. Groups sense this immediately—they know at once that they are singing with a one-of-a-kind master.”

MASTER CLASS Those who have sung with her for years know that Anderson always favors the classical masterworks. “I try to program music with deep integrity,” she says. “If it’s fluffy and has integrity, that’s okay. If it’s just fluffy, then I hate it.” And she does have favorites. “Bach. Always Bach,” she admits. “The St. Matthew Passion. The B Minor Mass. And The Messiah—it always works. Haydn’s Creation. Monteverdi Vespers. Everything emanates from the great masters. They have it all—structure, harmony, passion, harmonic resonance, the essence of storytelling. You never get tired of it.” Once they are trained and finetuned, Anderson’s choirs have toured all over the world from Cuba to Russia, performed at Carnegie Hall, and collaborated on operatic works at the Carmel Bach Festival. Each season, the community joins her choirs and Ensemble Monterey orchestra members in a not-tomiss performance of Handel’s Messiah, which she describes as “bone-chilling.” Earlier this month, Anderson’s Symphonic Chorus joined the Santa Cruz County Symphony performing Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler. Anderson also selects contemporary masterworks, and is known for highlighting expressionistic choral pieces by composer Morten Lauridsen, whose

Anderson’s goal is to shape a memorable performance. To her, that is “the one that moves the singers, and moves the audiences.” She fiercely believes that “the arts change the world.” The music director is easily moved just recounting a musical experience—such as her recent visit to LA’s Disney Hall to listen to a choir made up of local homeless singers. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” she says, blinking back her own tears. She also remembers a Mozart Requiem she led to commemorate 9/11. “We’d never practiced for it,” she remembers. “I just put out a call for singers to come with their music and we all sang. At the end, no on applauded. There was silence. And tears.” Anderson attributes her success to her unlimited belief in what her students are capable of. “I believe in people more than they believe in themselves,” she says “I want everybody to continue to grow.” And if they don’t, she’ll teach them how it’s done.

One might think the transition from singing with Robert Shaw to working with community members and beginning students could prove frustrating to even the most patient educator. But Anderson won’t hear of it. “One of my undergraduate teachers taught me that a student failure is a teacher failure,” she says. “It’s my responsibility to get them there. It challenges me to figure out ways to work the interior language of the music.” She arms her choral groups with fundamental musical principles, harmonic language, historical context, and concert etiquette—everything that distinguishes a polished choral ensemble from a collection of enthusiasts. “She loves the challenge of performing masterworks and brings these works to the chorus with a passion,” says tenor Tom Ellison, who’s sung with the Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus for 21 years. “She expects every choral member to understand the text and story being told. Her standards are very high and she is willing to spend the time to do what needs to be done.” Toward that end, Anderson can turn herself, and her choral groups inside out learning exact foreign language pronunciations. No vocal sloppiness allowed. “She dreams big, and then goes for it,” says Deborah Bronstein, a 20-year Anderson veteran. “She has a knack for inspiring people to believe in her vision, and do the work needed to make the vision happen, be it Carnegie Hall or singing in the Vatican or creating a Children’s Choir program.

friendship with Anderson has brought him for workshops with her students and appearances in Cabrillo concerts. She fearlessly forges into the most ambitious modern repertoire—a new Eric Whitacre opera, Hindemith’s setting of Walt Whitman, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Britten’s War Requiem.

drug paranoia that followed the counterculture era, Pollan says that the wild tales about the dangers of LSD (it’ll make you blind or crazy, probably both) were enough to make him steer clear. But when he actually took LSD for the first time at age 60, he was nervous about his heart—having experienced an AFib the night before—and decided to lower the dosage just in case. “Had I been sufficiently relaxed to take a bigger dose, I think I would have learned more,” he says. Having written about food and agriculture for the last 30 years, How to Change Your Mind is a somewhat risky departure for Pollan. After writing a piece for the New Yorker on the successes of psychedelics research in 2015, his interest in psychedelics mushroomed. It’s a controversial topic, and it’s Pollan’s own experiences that bring the book to life. He lays it all out there, confronting mortality and ego, the very inner workings and meanings of his own trips and thoughts. Besides a new perspective and another best-selling book, Pollan also earned himself a new label, courtesy of the New York Times: a “giant square.” “Well, that I object to,” he says with a laugh. “I guess if you are a reluctant psychonaut, that equals complete square—or partial square, perhaps.” Pollan isn’t exactly an obvious candidate to write about psychedelics, so how did he go from writing about diet, agriculture, and the world’s most delicious backyard barbecue, to tripping? He says it’s all relative. It’s not that he’s only interested in food and nutrition, but rather wellness and nature in general—and he sees psychedelics as a part of that. How to Change Your Mind delves into the world of psychedelics as healers of anxiety, depression and addiction by, among other things, silencing the ego. Through the scope of Western medicine, he explores the science behind the experimental renaissance of LSD, psilocybin (the active hallucinogenic ingredient

in mushrooms) and MDMA. Pollan recites the lengthy and tumultuous history of LSD, mistakenly invented by Albert Hofmann in 1938, and profiles some colorful characters who are willing to risk everything to support and prove the therapeutic usage of psychedelics—including a Bavarian revolutionist LSD guide and a Lorax-like mushroom forager. “What you are doing in a highdose psilocybin or LSD trip is allowing your ego to dissolve, which means you are putting down your usual defenses,” Pollan explains. “These defenses are important to our survival—they give us a sense of security in the world. So to relax those or put them down entirely is an incredible act of surrender and trust.” Trust was a big factor for Pollan. After all, while his mind wandered, he was leaving his body in someone’s care—someone that doesn’t want to get in trouble with the law if anything were to go awry. Pollan wanted to make sure that if something did go wrong, the guide wouldn’t just “bury him with all of the other dead people” (a quote directly from a guide he interviewed, no less). Pollan ended up with a few pre-vetted guides to help manage his larger doses and conscious reconciliation, and worked his way through LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca and “the toad” (scientifically 5-MeO-DMT, the smoked venom of a Sonoran desert toad) during his experimental phase—not bad for a middle-age rookie. “Change in the adult mind does not come easy,” Pollan says. “Psychologists will say that personality is really set by your early 20s, and doesn’t change very much. But there is some evidence that on psychedelics it can change, especially around the personality trait of openness.” Aside from challenging his ego and mental state, Pollan says his experiences were particularly difficult to recount. He found himself up against an ineffable wall—how do you explain something that doesn’t have tangible existence?

LITERATURE

“Many people have a set view that psychedelics can make you crazy, and I am encouraging people to see that, yes, there are psychological risks, but these are drugs that can make you more sane.” -MICHAEL POLLAN Pollan says he was particularly taken by the amount of stories and personal experiences people were willing to share with him. In fact, so many people wanted to tell their stories, Pollan created a submission database with the help of Medium. So, if you have a pretty trippy story to tell, they are taking submissions. “I realized that a lot of people have a story to tell, and they haven’t felt comfortable telling it for one reason or another, partly because there is such a stigma,” Pollan says. “Here I come talking about psychedelic trips in mainstream media and it licenses people to take these trips out of the box that they have been keeping in the attic for a very long time.” In Pollan’s bestselling The Omnivore’s Dilemma, he coined the instruction to “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Though, as he admitted to NPR’s Terry Gross a few weeks ago, some have amended the phrase to “Do drugs. Not too much. Mostly psychedelics.” He’s quick to explain that he’s not particularly thrilled about that rendition. “Many people have a set view that psychedelics can make you crazy, and I am encouraging people to see that, yes, there are psychological risks, but these are drugs that can make you more sane,” Pollan says. “That will take a change in mind in the culture, but I think that we are well on our way down that path. “ Michael Pollan is coming to Santa Cruz to talk about ‘How to Change Your Mind’ on Tuesday, June 5. 7 p.m. Peace United Church, 900 High St., Santa Cruz. Ticket packages are $33 and include one copy of ‘How to Change Your Mind.’ For more information about the event, visit bookshopsantacruz.com.

“As a journalist, we are really boxed in by reality. We want to tell cool stories, but they have to also be true, and sometimes the facts screw up the narrative,” Pollan says. “So here I was writing about this imaginative space that was in my head and I had a lot more freedom than I normally do. No one is going to fact check a trip report—if you thought it happened, it happened.” Despite his innate scientific approach, Pollan is remarkably aloof about it all. Since his trips, he has talked openly with his 25-yearold son about his psychedelic use, and is more patient and attentive, particularly with regard to the recent death of his father, according to his wife Judith. “I really do feel that talking about it in a matter-of-fact way is the beginning of having a more productive conversation about this,” Pollan says. “It gets us out of the usual frame of the drug war of the ’60s.” Though he is clear that he is not an advocate for widespread use of psychedelics, he proves that in the medicinal usage of psychedelics, there’s much more than bright colors and wonky lines. But Pollan is a “healthy normal”— an able-bodied individual not facing any immediate life threats—and although he is interested in how psychedelics can help people like him, too, he places particular emphasis on those who face terminal illness, clinical depression and addiction. New York University, Johns Hopkins, UCLA and Santa Cruz-based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) are at the forefront of this research and experimentation into illicit drug benefits, picking up where Timothy Leary left off.

MUSIC

DOUBLE TIME New Orleans gypsy-jazz band Bon Bon Vivant performs on Wednesday, May 30 at the Crepe Place, and Thursday, May 31 at Michael’s on Main.

Tap of the World MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Bon Bon Vivant like their gypsy jazz with some extra theatrical flair BY AARON CARNES

ast year, New Orleans gypsyjazz ensemble Bon Bon Vivant did what a lot of other bands do these days: record a video for NPR’s Tiny Desk contest. The video shows off the group’s mix of seductive old-timey cabaret jazz and modern, dark-tinged songwriting style. But it’s also visually stimulating to watch the group in their natural habitat, performing on the street in the French Quarter. For added measure, they have a snappy dressed guy tap dancing on a small end table with them. The tap-dancer, Bobby Bonsey, is not an official member of the band, but he does join them from time to time, adding a little extra rhythm and showmanship to the

performance by way of his tapdancing shoes. “It’s fun to give him solos— especially when we’re outside, because he has total geographical freedom. He ends up on light poles and doing back flips in the street,” says saxophonist Jeremy Kelley. Bonsey is one of a handful of nonband members that joins Bon Bon Vivant on stage—or in the street— when they are playing hometown shows. There’s also a whole network of swing dancers and burlesque dancers that might join the band. “It’s neat that we live in a city that is so small creatively that you can call in a number of people to collaborate with you,” says singer/ guitarist Abigail Cosio.

It wasn’t always like this for the group. In fact, when the group started some years back, they felt like it was an uphill battle for them to be accepted as part of the local New Orleans scene. Kelley, Cosio and Glori Cosio (backup singer, and Abigail’s sister) moved from L.A. around 2009. The rest of the band that they’d later meet were also transplants, coming from everywhere from Boston to Fresno. The band got serious around 2014, and recorded its debut EP, which they were able to get played on WWOZ, an important step in gaining local acceptance. “That’s the culture maker in the city. Unlike any other city I’ve ever seen, they respond to their public

radio. WWOZ is kind of the voice of the city in a really neat way,” says Cosio. It was a big deal to the band members, since they moved to New Orleans to be a part of its rich music scene. In New Orleans, jazz is treated unlike anywhere else in the world; certainly not as a museum exhibit or a high-end background music, as has become commonplace in other parts of the country. “This music can be played very traditionally, and sometimes it’s portrayed as stuffy. In New Orleans it’s so alive, it’s rowdy. It’s a music that generationally you can kind of misunderstand if you’re not seeing it performed the way that it was first performed. I really felt passion for this music, and it was being played by young people with tattoos and piercings and counterculture lifestyles,” Cosio says. The songs are primarily written by Cosio, who has a background in Americana. However, most of the musicians in the band are trained in jazz, so they all collaborate. “She lets us put our weird smell on it,” Kelley says. “As she comes to us with the song, maybe the piano player comes up with something that he’s been working on that has a gypsy jazz feel or klezmer feel added to a minor melody that she’s created. Even though Abbie writes all the material, she allows that jazz influence.” If there was any question about whether the group was really part of the city’s jazz scene, having groups of local swing dancers voluntarily performing at shows pretty much set the record straight. There is occasionally a local that will drill them on what high school they went to to see if they are truly local, but mostly with the support of WWOZ and the local arts scene, they feel like they fit right in, and are happy to deliver that culture in and outside of New Orleans. “We have hoped to earn that so far. It takes a long time,” Kelley says. “We do a lot for and with that city because we really love it.” Bon Bon Vivant perform at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 30, at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994. They will also perform on Thursday, May 31, at 7:30 p.m. at Michaels on Main, 2591 S Main St., Soquel. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-9777.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

LAUREN WAHL & SIMPLY PUT Lauren Wahl recalls being nervous singing harmony vocals on stage with her sister nine years ago with the band Bluetail Flies. Now, she’s not only a lot more comfortable on stage, she’s got her own band, Lauren Wahl and Simply Put. She started writing songs six years ago, after she took up the guitar. But for the most part, she only did a couple of open mics. She’d played in other groups, too, like the Wild Rovers and Flypaper Blues. Now she’s taking her songs that have mostly been confined to her bedroom out into the Santa Cruz scene.

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I’ve had this ambition for a long time,” Wahl says. “The songs have been around for years. I’ve been waiting to record them.”

Initially, Wahl expected to record a solo album, but then she met fiddle player Mariah Roberts when both accompanied Austin Shaw at his EP release show in 2015. That initial recording time fell through. When she re-booked it for the beginning of this year, not only did she bring Roberts, but she had a full band, which included Mike Kelly on bass, Zen Perry on drums, Justin Hambly on guitar, and Dylan Short on keyboards. “Everybody just kind of came together and wanted to play, and it just became this full band we weren’t expecting at all,” Wahl says.

SANTA CRUZ WOMEN OF JAZZ

FIDEL NADAL

Reassembling the inviting cast of players from last year’s celebration of Ella Fitzgerald’s centennial, the latest edition of Kuumbwa’s “Live and Local” series features a bevy of Santa Cruz’s top jazz singers backed by a talented band. Expanding the focus from Ella to include her contemporaries and the temporal range from the swing era to contemporary jazz repertoire, the show features the three-part harmony Jazz Birds—Gail Cruse, Cher Peterson and Vicki Coffis—and vocalists Ann Whittington, Charmaigne Scott, Ruby Rudman Judy Turowski, and the New Flamingo Swing Orchestra’s Stella D’Oro (who also performs around town with her band Stella By Barlight). The band also borrows from New Flamingo with the orchestra’s tenor saxophonist Brad Hecht and drummer Olaf Schiappacasse joined by guitarist Gino Raugi, bassist Bill Bosch, and reed expert Phil Smith. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $21/adv, $26.25/door. 427-2227

One of the most important Argentinian bands in the ’80s and ’90s was the reggae-hip-hop-punk band Todos Tus Muertos, which translates to “All Your Dead.” It was a vibrant, eclectic and political group. The band name was a reference to the dead bodies in Argentina’s “Dirty War.” Since the band broke, vocalist Fidel Nadal has embarked on a successful solo career. Dropping the hip-hop and punk elements, he plays mainly roots reggae with a strong dancehall edge, still political, but also lots of personal material. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

ELECTRO-FUNK

PLANET BOOTY Oakland electro-funkster group Planet Booty has a song called “Das Booty” that opens with this line: “Ladies and gentlemen, people of the world, I want to welcome you to … your booty.” The six-piece band prides itself on creating a “sweat-a-thon” at their shows,

mixing all your favorite ’80s electronic funk, ’70s disco, and early ’90s R&B with booty-themed lyrics and a lot of humor into the best dance party you can attend this week. Underneath all the wackiness is a message of selflove, so long as what you love is your booty! AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 6/2 BLUES-ROCK

ERIC LINDELL Born in San Mateo, California, singer-songwriter Eric Lindell made the jump from the Bay Area to New Orleans in the late 1990s, making his way onto the national blues-rock scene and eventually landing a spot on the Alligator Records roster. With a reputation for raw talent, a range that spans blues, funk, R&B and rock, and a natural feel for the New Orleans sound, Lindell’s blue-eyed soul and attention-grabbing guitar work have established him as a favorite of roots and blues fans, and sealed his fate as a California local-boy-done-good.

BEAST PALS Jessie Buckley and Johnny Flynn in Michael Pearce’s ‘Beast.’

Present Tense Psychological thrills to spare in dark, edgy ‘Beast’

f a “thriller” doesn’t have a lot of action, it had better come up with some other way to keep its audience riveted. The dark, edgy drama Beast manages this, big time— it has thrills to spare, but they come from a deft accumulation of detail. For his impressive debut feature, writer-director Michael Pearce crafts an eerie mood of unspecified menace in which anything might happen, and anyone might be capable of the most heinous actions. Trying to figure out whodunit— that weary cliché—is a puzzle that keeps us on the edge of our seats in Pearce’s capable hands.

There is no lack of candidates in the film’s contemporary village community on the isle of Jersey, off the southern coast of England. The town is on edge over a series of murders of young women. The serial-killer-on-the-loose motif is standard for the genre, but Pearce uses it as a launching pad to examine the tensions (emotional, psychological and cultural) already at work beneath the placid surface of this middle-class community. At the heart of the story is twentysomething Moll, skillfully played with both presence and vulnerability by Irish singer and

BY LISA JENSEN

actress Jessie Buckley. Employed as a tour guide on one of the “granny buses” that cart visitors on holiday around the island, Moll’s demeanor is affable, yet reserved, under her mop of flame-red curls. Her reservation is understandable when we see her at home within the family unit. Moll’s ferociously passiveaggressive Mum (Geraldine James) is the church choir mistress, determined to control Moll’s every thought, word, and deed with the same iron-fisted precision. She won’t tolerate any false notes in her daughter’s behavior, due to some transgression in Moll’s past to which her Mum makes dire allusions.

And once Moll has been sufficiently berated, Mum insistently renews the fiction that they are now “friends” again. In flight from her own suffocating birthday party one evening, Moll heads for the local dance club, parties all night, and ends up at dawn wandering the grassy cliffs above the seacoast with a man she barely knows. Who knows what might happen next, if not for the timely appearance of Pascal Renouf (Johnny Flynn, unsettling yet dynamic) with a shotgun, a Jeep, and a basketful of illegally poached rabbits. Pascal is a reclusive young handyman living in an old stone cottage inherited from his parents far out on the edge of town. Despite, or perhaps because of, her mum's stern objections, Moll begins a tentative flirtation with Pascal (she hires him to do some repair work around the house) that erupts into something much more intense. She admires his indifference to what other people think, and the freedom that comes with it. He responds to something wild inside her that everyone else has been trying to suppress for years. Of course, as Moll parades Pascal around on the fringe of her mother’s elite circle, it develops that the handyman is a prime suspect in the murders. But it takes all the rest of the movie to unravel Pearce’s intricate layers. Clifford (Trystan Gravelle), a policeman investigating the killings, has an ulterior motive; he has a crush on Moll. What about that other guy picking up women at the club? In a bracing riff on the good-cop/bad-cop scene, the silverhaired police woman (Olwen Fouéré) in charge of the investigation, dismisses Clifford from the room to grill Moll with alarming intensity. And what are we to make of the disturbing visions of home invaders in hoodies who terrorize Moll? Not every question is neatly wrapped up in Beast, but the stylish look of the movie, its dark heart, and the fascinating complexity of leads Buckley and Flynn make for a highly satisfying thriller. BEAST *** (out of four) With Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, and Geraldine James. Written and directed by Michael Pearce. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated R. 107 minutes.

FILM [Editor’s note: Due to the Memorial Day holiday, there are no movie times this week. They will return next week.]

NEW THIS WEEK ACTION POINT This comedy about a jackass who gets to run his own theme park stars TV jackass Johnny Knoxville as the jackass, and co-stars another TV jackass, Chris Pontius. Both are best known for TV’s Jackass, where they do jackass stunts. This movie also features jackass stunts as part of the jackass story about the jackass. To sum up: this movie about jackasses was made by jackasses and is basically Jackass. Directed by Tim Kirkby. Co-starring Brigette Lundy-Paine and Johnny Pemberton. (R) 85 minutes. (SP)

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ADRIFT Never look up what the true story of a movie is before you see it! I saw the preview for this couple-stranded-in-the-ocean drama—which heavily pushed its “based on the incredible true story” angle—and couldn’t help myself. Based on what I read about the real story and what they showed in the preview, I’m pretty positive I know what the movie’s big twist is going to be. Don’t be like me! Stay off of Wikipedia! Spoiler ignorance is bliss! Directed by Baltasar Kormakur. Starring Shailene Woodley, Sam Claflin and Grace Palmer. (PG-13) (SP)

FIRST REFORMED Cult director Paul Schrader—best-known for writing Martin Scorsese films like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull—wrote and directed this drama-thriller about a former military chaplain whose life changes radically after his soldier son dies in the line of duty. Early critical reaction suggests it’s one of Schrader’s best, as well as a career highpoint for star Ethan Hawke. Co-starring Amanda Seyfried, Cedric Kyles and Victoria Hill. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) UPGRADE After making his mark co-creating the Saw and Insidious horror franchises, Leigh Whannell is trying his hand at science fiction with this story of a near-future world where a man is able to use an experimental cybernetic chip

to gain superhuman powers and avenge his wife’s murder. If you’re looking for ideas from several terrible movies smashed down into an hour and a half, this is the movie for you. Written and directed by Whannell. Starring Logan MarshallGreen and Betty Gabriel. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) 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)

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin are lost at sea in ‘Adrift.’

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. Co-starring 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 After his poignant transgender drama, A Fantastic Woman, filmmaker Sebastian Lelio turns again to the subject of freedom and identity vs. social conventions. The two women who dare to buck convention (Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams) 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. The story explores gender roles unquestioned for centuries within this closed community, and their unacknowledged consequences roiling just beneath the surface. Lelio 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. Co-starring Alessandro Nivola and Anton Lesser. (R) 114 minutes. (LJ) 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) >56

FILM <54 LET THE SUNSHINE IN Juliette Binoche goes around saying funny Juliette Binoche things, being Juliette-Binochelevel 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 Russell-Goldie 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. (PG-13) 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) RACER AND THE JAILBIRD A racing car driver (racer) and a gangster (the jailbird) fall in love while involved with a brutal crime gang in Brussels in this French film. Directed by Michael R Rosskam. Starring Matthias Schoenaerts and Adèle Exarchopoulos. (R) 130 minutes. (SP) RBG Forget The Avengers Infinity War. Here’s a movie that’s really worth cheering about. This smart, sly, heartfelt documentary by directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West, enters the marketplace with the same quiet, unassuming, yet determined demeanor as its subject— legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As cunning as Loki, as grounded as Black Panther, she 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. And nary a special effect in sight—unless you count her incredible stamina to keep fighting the good fight at age 84. (PG) 98 minutes. (LJ) 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) 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 accurately. Directed by Ron Howard. Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke. (PG-13) 135 minutes. (SP)

WINE OF THE WEEK: GETTING DOON

ROLL WITH IT Crispy coconut shrimp rolls at Hula’s Island Grill. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Grill Power

ula’s is a good idea any day of the week. But especially on Mahalo Mondays—when 10 percent of proceeds benefits a selected local program. And especially now with the volcanic action on the Hawaiian Islands. Catch some of the aloha vibes, without the fiery lava, at our Santa Cruz Hula’s Island Grill, devoted to the retro tiki bars of the ’50s. Technicolor food and cocktails with those little paper parasols on the top—it’s a soothing trip back to another era when food was fun

and fruit belonged in everything. Happy Hour tiki drinks cover the waterfront, from the blood orange martini to an uncensored house Mai Tai ($6 during Happy Hour). At Hula’s appetizers are called “pupus” and conjure visions of swaying palms, roaring surf, and endless summer. The crispy coconut shrimp rolls are barely legal, and the jalapeño bacon mac and cheese can induce out-of-body epiphanies. Yes, it is that good. Did I mention that Hula’s has one of those welcoming menus featuring lots of gluten-free temptations, from

spicy seaweed salad to a stunning bit of fusion culinary concept—the South Seas fish taco. Try a Hula burger on gluten-free bun and see how the other half lives. Creative vegetarian listings as well. The possibilities of bowls, salads and creatively seasoned tempeh and tofu are pretty much endless. Your June visits to Hula’s on Mahalo Mondays will benefit the Diversity Center—outreach and education events to help build equality where LGBTQ+ people can thrive.

Mahalo Mondays at Hula’s Island Grill benefit local causes; pop-up Farmers Market breakfasts a hit BY CHRISTINA WATERS

While ambling through the appealing Bonny Doon Vineyard Tasting Room the other day, my eye snagged on a little bottle of Le Cigare Volant 2011. I say “little” because the bottle was in fact a split, une demi-bouteille, a half bottle for something in the vicinity of $12. I reckoned that this would make a perfect size to share over dinner and brought one of these home (along with two bottles of the wonderful Proper Claret 2015. The Cigare—upon which Wine Enthusiast bestowed a lavish 93 points—was a superbly balanced creation of almost equal portions Mourvedre and Grenache, with 20 percent Syrah and 9 percent Cinsault added to the blend. Supple and aromatic, with a spicy finish, this bold Rhône-style beauty was a distinctive treat. Good to know that the Davenport tasting room offers many such half bottles for those of us who love fine wines but rarely finish a full-size bottle in one or even two sittings. The view of the ocean from the tasting room’s front porch is worth the drive, as well. BDV Tasting Room, on Hwy. 1, Davenport. Open daily 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

WALL OF FIRE There’s no shortage of hot sauces to pair with your Cali burrito at Point Market. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Point Taken The joy of Point Market and its unbeatable Cali burrito BY LILY STOICHEFF

counter rattles off a list of salsa options that blur together, but gives me an insider’s tip: “You gotta get the spicy green.” I do, and I do not regret it. One of the things I appreciate about the burritos at the Point is that I can choose a smaller burrito size. Yes, the large is only one dollar more and substantially more food, but I have moved on from the stage of my life where calories mean nothing. I want the joy of a burrito without the waste or reheating. A day-old burrito can simply not be revived, and I would rather not carry around a food baby that feels like a literal baby. For me, the small burrito is just enough. The joys of the Point Market are many, and they’re spreading to Live Oak. Sister store Black Point Market on the corner of 14th Avenue and East Cliff Drive will offer similar products with a local vibe, with hopes to open in June.

HOLY WOW WOW Those who love the cult favorite sandwich will be happy to know that the new owners of Day’s Market reached out to say that the Tuna Wow Wow will live on, and Day himself has taught them its secret ways.

hat doesn’t the Point Market have, I ask myself, scanning the shelves and other surfaces brimming with goods. My field of vision is filled with everything from sunscreen, toiletries and Sex Wax to Marianne’s ice cream, bottles of local wine and countless snacks. There’s also all of the candy I loved as a kid, the kombuchas and jun tonics I love as an adult and—no joke—at least 50 varieties of hot sauce. There’s an espresso machine and gluten-free cookies and—well, you get the picture. But I’m here at this charming little market on East Cliff Drive, in the heart of the Pleasure Point neighborhood, for the burritos. Specifically, the Cali burrito, which I can never resist despite a long list of other burrito options sharing menu space with breakfast, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, poutine, quesadillas and smoothies—all extremely tempting. But wrapped within the Cali burrito’s warm tortilla are zesty seasoned french fries, carne asada, beans, rice, creamy avocado, sour cream and melty cheese. It’s everything my California heart wants in a burrito, our unofficial state food. The friendly cashier behind the

EXOTIC VARIETY Allegretto Vineyards makes some of the best Tannats in the U.S.

Allegretto Vineyards Rosé of Tannat 2016 features notes of anise, cinnamon and cherries BY JOSIE COWDEN

rustic northern Italian cuisine and locally sourced ingredients. The Mediterranean-inspired décor is bright and casual, with friendly service to match. Cello is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and offers a daily Happy Hour from 3-6 p.m. It’s a marvelous place to dine after a day of wine tasting in Paso Robles. We shared a bottle of Allegretto Viognier over dinner, and it was the perfect pairing for our bountiful entrees of Frutti di Mare and Risotto del Giorno. Viognier is one of my favorites, and Allegretto makes such a good one (heady, perfumed and redolent with notes of peaches and flowers), that I was in Viognier heaven. Owner Doug Ayres and winemaker Alan Kinne are turning out truly awesome wines—intense and impressive. A tasting at Allegretto Resort is about $25 (refunded with a purchase) and wines can also be shipped.

annat is a red wine grape historically grown in the Basque region of France. Not surprisingly, Basque settlers in Uruguay started making Tannat, and it is now one of the country’s major wine exports. Thankfully, Tannat is also produced in the United States, and Allegretto Vineyards makes some of the best. We enjoyed a superb flight of Allegretto wines at Allegretto Resort & Spa in Paso Robles, which included a marvelous 2016 Rosé of Tannat ($25). Grapes are harvested from the estate vineyards on the resort’s property and made into this light-copper-colored Tannat Rosé—a gorgeous elixir with notes of anise, cinnamon and a smidgen of red cherries. Allegretto also makes two full-on Tannats ($55 and $80) as well as other reds, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Zinfandel. Allegretto’s whites include Chardonnay, Viognier and white-blend Duetto. Besides Allegretto wines, the resort’s Cello Ristorante & Bar serves wines from across the globe—with many choices to pair with Cello’s

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GEMINI – BRIGHT SHINY ONE

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 30, 2018

Sushi, Sake & Sumo!

Gemini, the third sign in the zodiac, is an air (mental) sign. Their minds are their strength. Ruled by Mercury who creates duality—and then Venus, synthesizing that duality—Gemini is endlessly curious, aware of the latest everything, like a breeze flowing through a meadow, chasing butterflies, a forked tongue, sometimes, who knows what will grab their fancy next time? Geminis are quick witted, expressive, and two personalities in one. Fun loving and restless, we never know where they are. Gemini personifies duality (their spiritual task). One minute they’re here; the next moment, we can’t find them. Everything is done is at the speed of light—making friends with strangers, hopping here and there, gathering information with a possibility of superficiality and/or inauthenticity at times. A quick mind, followed by boredom, Gemini must always be involved in the study of something, anything, including music, art, dance,

A revolution, revelation, idea, dream or vision held long in your heart and mind, perhaps for years, comes more and more into form and matter, manifesting through using your creative imagination, creating visualizations. The next seven years—which seems like a long time, but is really only a blink in God’s eyes—brings forth what you’ve longed for, hoped for, and through your persistence you will love into existence. Then it must be shared.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

Fill’er up!

You never lose sight of your vision or of the tasks you are to perform. No matter what occurs – surprising events, losses, people, ideas and hopes falling away – you know “love underlies all happenings of the times.” That love emerges from heavenly beings and stars and angels guiding our lives. Focus now only on what’s in front of you. Know choices, plans and events made during this time will slowly move forward.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Many thoughts, ideas, events and communications from the past return. This last month there was a need to externalize thoughts and be understood. This will continue as Mercury remains behind the scenes (in Taurus). Later, misinterpretations will turn around, lost friends may call. Much remains obscure so you can spiritualize all actions. Write each day’s events in your Esoteric Journal.

You think about, ponder upon and consider goals for the coming months. You have expectations and ideals. Up to this point the goals and ideals of the past have served you. However, in the last several years, life has changed so radically that newer points of view are forming. This is also due to influences of health, and by friends, colleagues and family. You have been “reconstructed.”

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Your creative life, art, photography and writing especially, are most important now. These constitute your real vocation, as they are closest to your heart. They define the gifts through which you can best assist others. It is through beauty. Pursuing your talents improves them more and more. What studies have you put off in recent years?

438-8313 Mon-Sat: 6am-3pm • Sun: 7am-3pm

You think deeply so you can have clear perspective. Mortality (the idea and meaning of death, the reality of life after death) is something you will think about in the coming months. This is a healthy response to the changes occurring on our planet as the Pisces Age ends. There’s an underground river of communication between you and others. It’s not verbal or externalized. Fill that river with love.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 This is a special time of connecting with other cultures

theater and writing. Finally, one day, when Gemini slows down, they study astrology, find their true selves, and become “white magicians.” Gemini is about the hands and arms (dexterity). Geminis loves sports, games, films, books and everything social. They hear what others can’t hear. Geminis are ruled by Mercury; thus, they are communicative and clever, spontaneous, quick witted, and sometimes they gossip. They are always out and about in the world. Their task is to bring down to earth, in simple terms, what’s occurring in the popular culture so the masses of humanity can understand. Gemini touches both heaven and earth, probing both. Never landing in one place for long. We love their intelligence. If we’re lucky, we’ll catch a glimpse of the “love that underlies their intelligence.” Just for a moment, though. Geminis are like the devas (bright & shining ones). and communicating with them. Share your heart with others and they, in turn, share with you. You might begin a monthly Conversation and Dinner Group, a Salon, or a Book and Dinner Club—gathering and discussing for greater perspectives. You like and need partnerships; they accomplish more than one person alone. Discuss everything with loved ones. You need love and care; this comes from open loving communication.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 We think we have free will—and we do, to an extent. We can choose what we do each day, somewhat. We can choose how we behave, sometimes. We can think about where we live, sometimes. But there’s a greater plan. It’s best to be more fluid and discover what that greater reality is that hovers over, influences, surrounds and penetrates our little wills and lives. It is the Soul. Make its acquaintance.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Great opportunities move toward you in their own time and place. You become more and more aware of this. Listen to all communications, from yourself and others, assessing carefully intent, purpose behind everything, everyone and all events. Messages can heal, wound, uplift, destroy, create, deny or be a refuge. Refuge (sangha) is greatly needed by you and everyone at this time. You are to offer it.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 In your daily (successful, ambitious, up the ladder of) life, you find yourself needed in two places at once. Your mind is here, your body over there somewhere. This is the Gemini experience in the daily life of a Capricorn. You will attempt to bring a harmony and synthesis to this duality. Amidst constant changing vicissitudes and instability, you find poise, balance and harmony. And a field of bright orange flowers. This is the Soul. Call upon it each moment.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It’s best to be among the young, playful, innocent and childlike, romantic and creative. Then you will become these, too, discovering new outlets of art and creativity. You will see things in a newer, more golden light and your imagination will flow outward making your life filled with days of happiness and joy. Often you are toiling among life’s questions. At this time, just be the artist and futurist you’re meant to be.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Know that everyone and everything in your environments love, care for and support you. Offer gratitude to them for being in your life at this very moment and all the future moments to come. Something’s ending. A new life will be built from the old, phoenix-like – a new community creating the foundation for newer and greater achievements. Bid the old realities adieu. They served their purposes well. You now have new promises to keep.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. • Season both sides of the pork chops evenly with garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. • Heat an OVEN PROOF pan over medium high heat then coat with cooking spray. Once the pan is HOT, add the pork chops on their sides and render down the fatty edges of the chops. Once the edges are golden, place the chops down then cook for 3-4 minutes until the pork chops are golden brown. Flip them over and place the OVEN PROOF pan into the oven to continue cooking for 10-12 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. • Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if needed. Add the shallots and garlic, then cook, stirring often and making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 1 minute, add the chicken broth and chopped fresh herbs then boil for a few minutes, stirring constantly, or until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the butter and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if needed. Stir until the butter is completely melted. Add the pork chops back to the pan with their juices and coat them with the sauce. Serve chops whole or sliced with sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy.

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?

“Shopper’s is like the “Cheers” of grocery stores; people come from all over the community. It’s an amazing gathering place.”
