OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I’m old enough to have gone to some of Danny Scheie’s productions for Shakespeare Santa Cruz (for newbies, that’s what Santa Cruz Shakespeare was called back when it was affiliated with UCSC). There was some pretty radical stuff being put on stage at the Festival Glen back then. But each SSC play seemed selfcontained—some were traditional, some were totally out-there—and it never seemed like a movement toward a different vision for Shakespeare as much as it did a series of experiments.

But I remember reading Christina Waters’ glowing review of SCS’ Hamlet a couple of years ago, in which the title character was played by Kate Eastwood Norris.

NEXT TO NOTHING

I found Virgina Blake’s letter (GT, 6/27) asserting that Greenway’s trail proposal doesn’t add up curious. Why would so many private individuals put their money, time, and energy into promoting a wide, multi-use trail in the rail corridor? Is it because after talking about a train and a narrow, segmented trail adjacent to the railroad tracks since the ’80s, next to nothing’s been done? (Oh right, they’re getting ready to start construction on 1.2 miles of trailway at double the originally projected cost.)

Contrary to Virginia’s assertion regarding studies, oversight, etc., yes, there’s a county study (the Uniform Corridor Investment Study– UCIS) as well as other professional feasibility studies, the construction funding is already voter-approved by Measure D (and estimated to be a fraction of the cost proposed for the narrow trackside trail with the on-street detours), and the oversight? Our own Regional Transportation Commission, who are responsible for where we are today–hundreds of thousands of dollars in studies and conversation over 30 years, and I see neither a train, nor any trail (although I hear one tree was cut down by mistake).

The “pitch,” as Virginia calls it? Maybe county citizens decided it was time to make

It made me rush out to see it the first chance I got, and I too was impressed at how the gender flip had been given deeper resonance in the production—it wasn’t just a gimmick. Last year, I marveled at the gender switching in SCS’ fantastic Measure for Measure. But I never put together exactly what SCS was building here.

Wallace Baine’s cover story this week on the group’s new season makes it clear: this is a different vision for Shakespeare, and it’s being handled in such a brilliant, thoughtful way that it makes what is actually pretty radical seem obvious—even necessary. It’s great to see that that the long local tradition of exploring Shakespeare has been turned into something truly progressive that will continue to develop with each new season. Santa Cruz Shakespeare is truly more Santa Cruz than ever.

something happen. As for “elite cyclists,” seems like a lot of those riding as well as complaining about the new fluorescent e-bikes around town would be grateful for a wide, safe, multi-lane, off-street corridor in which to ride. In short, I’m not sure what Virginia saw as the “bait,” but switching to the Greenway proposal only seems like good sense to me.

The local pet rescue group Four Paws to Love has launched its first GoFundMe campaign to help with its mission of saving homeless cats from otherwise overcrowded shelters. As of July 9, the group has raised $1,500 toward its goal of $10,000, that would be used to purchase two Intensive Care Units. Those machines would be able to give the most vulnerable and tiniest kittens a fighting chance.

The fundraiser ends Sunday, July 15. For more information, visit fourpawstolove.org.

An event on Thursday, July 12, will attempt to provide some answers to big questions that many locals ask themselves on the streets each day. The Santa Cruz Police Department’s event “De-Escalation Preparedness Training For Civilians in Crisis Intervention: What Would You Do?” is a free seminar from 1-5 p.m. on Thursday, July 12. The event will educate and empower attendees with information to help them recognize, prepare for, and respond to a person in crisis. Pre-registration is required.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 11 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Your key theme right now is growth. Let’s dig in and analyze its nuances. 1. Not all growth is good for you. It may stretch you too far too fast -- beyond your capacity to integrate and use it. 2. Some growth that is good for you doesn’t feel good to you. It might force you to transcend comforts that are making you stagnant, and that can be painful. 3. Some growth that’s good for you may meet resistance from people close to you; they might prefer you to remain just as you are, and may even experience your growth as a problem. 4. Some growth that isn’t particularly good for you may feel pretty good. For instance, you could enjoy working to improve a capacity or skill that is irrelevant to your long-term goals. 5. Some growth is good for you in some ways, and not so good in other ways. You have to decide if the trade-off is worth it. 6. Some growth is utterly healthy for you, feels pleasurable, and inspires other people.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 You can’t sing with someone else’s mouth, Taurus. You can’t sit down and settle into a commanding new power spot with someone else’s butt. Capiche? I also want to tell you that it’s best if you don’t try to dream with someone else’s heart, nor should you imagine you can fine-tune your relationship with yourself by pushing someone else to change. But here’s an odd fact: You can enhance your possibility for success by harnessing or borrowing or basking in other people’s luck. Especially in the coming weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20 You wouldn’t attempt to cure a case of hiccups by repeatedly smacking your head against a wall, right? You wouldn’t use an anti-tank rocket launcher to eliminate the mosquito buzzing around your room, and you wouldn’t set your friend’s hair on fire as a punishment for arriving late to your rendezvous at the café. So don’t overreact to minor tweaks of fate, my dear Gemini. Don’t over-medicate tiny disturbances. Instead, regard the glitches as learning opportunities. Use them to cultivate more patience, expand your tolerance, and strengthen your character.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 I pay tribute to your dizzying courage, you wise fool. I stage-whisper "Congratulations!" as you slip away from your hypnotic routine and wander out to the edge of mysterious joy. With a crazy grin of encouragement and my fist pressed against my chest, I salute your efforts to transcend your past. I praise and exalt you for demonstrating that freedom is never permanent but must be reclaimed and reinvented on a regular basis. I cheer you on as you avoid every temptation to repeat yourself, demean yourself, and chain yourself.

I’m feeling a bit helpless as I watch you messing with that bad but good stuff that is so wrong but right for you. I am rendered equally inert as I observe you playing with the strong but weak stuff that’s interesting but probably irrelevant. I fidget and sigh as I monitor the classy but trashy influence that’s angling for your attention; and the supposedly fast-moving process that’s creeping along so slowly; and the seemingly obvious truth that would offer you a much better lesson if only you would see it for the chewy riddle that it is. What should I do about my predicament? Is there any way I can give you a boost? Maybe the best assistance I can offer is to describe to you what I see.

any time since your birthday in 2015, this is the season for unleashing your smiles.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Lucky vibes are coalescing in your vicinity. Scouts and recruiters are hovering. Helpers, fairy godmothers, and future playmates are growing restless waiting for you to ask them for favors. Therefore, I hereby authorize you to be imperious, regal, and overflowing with self-respect.

I encourage you to seize exactly what you want, not what you’re "supposed" to want. Or else be considerate, appropriate, modest, and full of harmonious caution.

CUT! CUT! Delete that "be considerate" sentence. The Libra part of me tricked me into saying it. And this is one time when people of the Libra persuasion are allowed to be free from the compulsion to balance and moderate.

You have a mandate to be the show, not watch the show.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Emily Dickinson wrote 1,775 poems -- an average of one every week for 34 years. I’d love to see you launch an enduring, deep-rooted project that will require similar amounts of stamina, persistence, and dedication. Are you ready to expand your vision of what’s possible for you to accomplish? The current astrological omens suggest that the next two months will be an excellent time to commit yourself to a Great Work that you will give your best to for the rest of your long life!

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 What’s the biggest lie in my life? There are several candidates. Here’s one: I pretend I’m nonchalant about one of my greatest failures; I act as if I’m not distressed by the fact that the music I’ve created has never received the listenership it should it have. How about you, Sagittarius? What’s the biggest lie in your life?

What's most false or dishonest or evasive about you?

Whatever it is, the immediate future will be a favorable time to transform your relationship with it. You now have extraordinary power to tell yourself liberating truths.

Three weeks from now, you could be a more authentic version of yourself than you've ever been.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Now and then you go through phases when you don't know what you need until you stumble upon it. At times like those, you're wise not to harbor fixed ideas about what you need or where to hunt for what you need. Metaphorically speaking, a holy grail might show up in a thrift store. An eccentric stranger may provide you with an accidental epiphany at a bus stop or a convenience store. Who knows? A crucial clue may even jump out at you from a spam email or a reality TV show. I suspect that the next two weeks might be one of those odd grace periods for you.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 "Reverse psychology" is when you convince people to do what you wish they would do by shrewdly suggesting that they do the opposite of what you wish they would do. "Reverse censorship" is when you write or speak the very words or ideas that you have been forbidden to express. "Reverse cynicism" is acting like it’s chic to express glee, positivity, and enthusiasm. "Reverse egotism" is bragging about what you don’t have and can’t do. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to carry out all these reversals, as well as any other constructive or amusing reversals you can dream up.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Psychologist Paul Ekman has compiled an extensive atlas of how emotions are revealed in our faces. "Smiles are probably the most underrated facial expressions," he has written, "much more complicated than most people realize. There are dozens of smiles, each differing in appearance and in the message expressed."

I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because your assignment in the coming weeks -- should you choose to accept it -- is to explore and experiment with your entire repertoire of smiles. I’m confident that life will conspire to help you carry out this task. More than at

Poet Emily Dickinson once revealed to a friend that there was only one Commandment she ever obeyed: "Consider the Lilies." Japanese novelist Natsume Sōseki told his English-speaking students that the proper Japanese translation for "I love you" is Tsuki ga tottemo aoi naa, which literally means "The moon is so blue tonight." In accordance with current astrological omens, Pisces, I’m advising you to be inspired by Dickinson and Sōseki.

More than any other time in 2018, your duty in the coming weeks is to be lyrical, sensual, aesthetic, imaginative, and festively non-literal.

RE: PROGRESSIVE RAIL The RTC has not given up any rights to run commuter service, and freight service does not preclude commuter service. If and when the RTC decides to implement commuter service, freight will be run when commuter service is not running. That is how SMART in Sonoma County combines commuter service and freight service on the same single track. I rode SMART in Sonoma County recently with the

Mayor of Watsonville, a Capitola Councilman and the Executive Director of the RTC, and saw first hand how freight and commuter service can coexist on a single track and maintain a 100-percent on-time record.

I spoke with many passengers on the train, and what I found the most striking was how much SMART passengers loved riding the train and the positive impact it has had on their lives.

What the RTC gains from the agreement with Progressive Rail is the ability to maintain the freight easement, service the freight customers and comply with Prop 116 funding for passenger rail.

NATURAL WOMAN Megan Bell of Margins Wine, a pioneer in California’s movement for low-intervention and ‘natural’ wines.

Lack of label transparency keeps wine consumers in the dark BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

F

or many in California, wine is a cultural mainstay. But in the age where our culture is finally acknowledging that ingredients matter to our health and to the planet, the wine label falls short in its transparency. Barring a small handful of exceptions, wine producers are not required to list ingredients or additives on their

labels. If they were, some labels could be as long and difficult to pronounce as those slapped on processed foods; there are roughly 76 wine additives and treatment materials approved for use by the FDA. Also known as “zero-zero” wine, the strictest definition of natural wine is one that has had nothing added and nothing taken away. “This

means native fermented [as opposed to fermented with the genetically modified yeast of commercial wines], not filtered, not fined, and with no additives of any kind, including sulfites,” says Margins Wine’s Megan Bell of the practice that is already wellestablished in Europe. But even while 50 or so California winemakers have begun to explore low-intervention

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 11-17, 2018

Blind Tasting

and “natural” winemaking, the term is not recognized as a legal one by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), so it does not appear on any labels. At the same time, many producers making organic wine aren’t specifying it as such on the label, because of its reputation for not being the best tasting, says Bell.

At Margins, Bell—who focuses on low-intervention and 100-percent naturally fermented wines from organic vineyards, varietals and regions that are lesser known—adds a small amount of sulfites to most of her wines. Now in her third harvest season, she makes at least one natural wine each year (try her Chenin Blanc).

Interestingly enough, she’s found that across the board, people often prefer her wine with sulfites added.

That sulfites are the worst or most dangerous additive in wine is perhaps the biggest myth to proliferate over the decades since its governmental warning, passed by teetotaller and then-Sen. Strom Thurmond in 1986, was affixed to labels not so much to inform but to frighten. Sulfites, which have been used to sterilize wine barrels since the ancient Romans, act as a preservative and are often added to wine, though they also occur naturally. They can cause asthmatic symptoms—not headaches—in those who are allergic to them. “There is a small amount of the population, about 1 percent, that is allergic to sulfites,” says Bell. “Every time someone tells me they get sulfite headaches, which is much higher than 1 percent of the people I pour wine for, I ask them if they eat dried fruit, which usually has at least four times the amount of sulfites as wine. They do eat dried fruit, and are fine.”

Indeed, many foods, including most canned foods, contain higher amounts of sulfites than wine—and are not required to include a warning label.

The so-called “sulfite headache,” then, appears to be a misdiagnosis that is more probably linked to tannins— which occur naturally and can also be added in powder form—high amounts of sugar, high levels of alcohol, and any number of wine additives that do not require a label listing, much less a governmental warning.

“The wine industry wants you to believe that this is a natural healthy

WELLNESS product, when in fact it’s filled with additives and poisons, and this is what’s making people feel bad,” says Todd White of the lab-tested, allnatural and health-quantified wine marketplace Dry Farmed Wines, in an informative recent interview on the podcast Healthy Moms.

Of the long list of additives approved by the FDA for use in winemaking, more than half are classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe), which means there is no governmental oversight for their use. The additives range from sugar and sulfites to a more questionable territory that includes defoaming agents, ammonia phosphates, heavy metals like copper, the coloring agent MegaPurple (for which commercial wine’s purple-teeth side effect are a dead giveaway), and the powerful toxin dimethyl dicarbonate, marketed as Velcorin, a microbial control agent that is widely used as a food additive.

Rats who consumed wine treated with dimethyl dicarbonate for 30 days showed no obvious signs of toxicity, and “slight but randomly distributed” differences in organ weights, according to the National Institute of Health. But the science behind wine additives and human health is scarce. For this reason, Bell doesn’t take a stance on additives and health, though she steers away from them all the same.

“I don’t know if it’s bad memories of inhaling Tang as a kid, but I have a resistance to adding powder to liquids I’m going to consume.

None of these are necessarily bad, but they exist, and consumers should know they exist if they are in the products they’re buying,” says Bell of the industry’s number of approved powdered additives, like tartaric acid and genetically modified commercial yeast.

Animal products, including dairy products, are also approved for use— effective in removing undesirable flavors—and along with fish bladders, are often used in “fining,” a clarification process that binds and removes particles. Along with a long list of major food allergens, like shellfish and tree nuts, these animal products fall under the TTB’s “voluntary” wine labeling standards.

“My main reason for not fining or filtering my wine is that I do not care if the wine is clear. Is this wine blasphemy? Maybe. But I have never sipped a wine and thought, ‘Mmm, it’s so clear,’” says Bell, whose labels specify that “sediment is expected from wines made with minimal intervention.” She, of course, does not add any of the approved color agents, either. “Are they bad? I don’t know. Is it weird? I think yeah,” says Bell. “If we’re drinking beer and people had dyed it to be more yellow, it would just be worth knowing. But I feel like people aren’t obsessed with color in beer the way they are in wine.”

It’s a matter of education and reframing the consumer perception and demand, she says, recommending that people simply read some Wikipedia before wine tasting. “You really just need to learn what tannin is and what acidity is; then you’ll have a lot to talk about besides color and clarity. I think we’re heading toward a time when less wine consumers will be concerned with clarity. I hope I’m part of that push.”

While mass-produced commercial wine commonly found on the bottom shelf of grocery stores is much more likely to contain questionable additives, high sugar, and high alcohol—the perfect recipe for headaches, poor sleep and a wicked hangover, not to mention other unknown health consequences—as long as labels lack transparency, consumers lack certainty. Wine shops (ask the owners), the online natural wine marketplace Dry Farm Wines, and of course, marginswine.com, are all good sources for low-intervention and natural wines.

“The thing about natural winemaking is that we aren’t necessarily trying to make what winemakers would traditionally call ‘the best wine possible.’ It’s a different frame of mind,” says Bell. “We’re trying to make a statement, and we’re trying to start this new tradition and not follow all of the established rules.

We want to make wine out of just grapes and nothing else. For us, that is the best wine possible.”

Santa Cruz residents will get an up-close look at the region’s evolving array of renewable energy offerings at the first-annual Community Power Festival this weekend.

The free event, to be held Saturday, July 14, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at San Lorenzo Park, is organized by nascent nonprofit energy provider Monterey Bay Community Power.

The government-backed agency—tasked with transitioning 16 cities in Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties to 100 percent carbon-free energy—planned the festival to offer attractions like live music along with education from purveyors of solar panels, electric bikes and other green alternatives.

“We wanted to have a celebration in Santa Cruz, where everything started,” says Shelly Whitworth, media and communications coordinator for Monterey Bay Community Power.

The effort to create a local clean power authority started five years ago, when former state legislator and current Santa Cruz County Supervisor Bruce McPherson expanded a vision for a countywide program to a broader regional effort.

In the process, Santa Cruz joined a fast-evolving national conversation about community choice energy (CCE) programs, which allow local or regional agencies pursuing more aggressive emissions-reduction goals to take over electricity generation from existing utility providers. A 2002 state measure, AB 117, laid the groundwork for CCEs after California suffered a wave of brownouts and complications with energy deregulation, allowing local agencies to accelerate renewable energy investment by buying in bulk.

Earlier this year, the Monterey Bay region’s roughly 37,500 commercial electricity customers started automatic enrollment in community power. Sign-up for the roughly 235,000 residential accounts in the threecounty area started this month. With service up and running, Monterey Bay Community Power joins nine CCEs already offering emissions-free electricity across the country, including nearby Marin and San Mateo counties.

Among the factors differentiating the Monterey Bay CCE is the >18

Santa Cruz Community Investments’ Maria Cadenas makes case for a local impact investment fund BY JACOB PIERCE

I

f all of modern society were a board game, Maria Cadenas thinks it would be a game of Monopoly.

But play time, she says, is over.

“Somebody has all the cash, and the accumulation of wealth is totally decided and others are completely left out, and we’re losing the middle,” says Cadenas, the executive director for Santa Cruz Community Ventures.

“Those wealth gaps are the results of policies—how the system has been working. So we need to change the system, change the game.”

To fix all this, Cadenas wants to create a local impact investment fund and help finance a more even playing field.

Impact investing has been among the business world’s hottest buzz phrases in recent years. Over time, it’s gone from a vague concept to a way for investors and everyday people to make a difference.

Essentially, it’s the practice of putting cash into assets that an investor can feel good about— anything from the environment to journalism in developing countries.

These investors typically accept smaller returns than they would on Wall Street or somewhere else.

Although Santa Cruz Community Ventures has not yet finalized its approach, Cadenas’ pitch is to launch a fund that would help local

businesses switch to worker-owned models. With the Silver Tsunami now underway, baby boomers will be retiring. For many, that means selling their businesses.

To help frame the region’s biggest needs, Community Ventures, which is funded by donations, recently collaborated on two economic analyses—one that the group is now getting ready to share, and another with UCSC’s Blum Center that it’s just now finalizing.

Cadenas wants anyone to be able to invest in the fund, for as little as $25. Implementing and scaling this strategy would take time, but she sees that impact investing— >16

“If we don’t address the perpetual generational poverty from one side of the county to the other, we’re gonna be hurting, because most of the county is gonna be poor,” she says. “What does that mean for social structures? What does that mean for transportation? What does that mean for county government funds that are already limited? What does that mean for housing plans? If you don’t address income and wealth gaps, we’re not going to be able to solve the problems jeopardizing our future. If people can’t understand love, I hope they understand numbers.”

DOLLAR BACK At a recent Monterey Bay Economic Partnership summit, financial adviser Morgan Simon dove into the

thinking behind the concept of impact investing, as well as its significance. In the early days, many of the investors were foundations targeting inequality.

“The idea of impact investing,” Simon said at May’s Regional Economic Summit, “was that you could really bridge that gap, that you could have a social and environmental return alongside your foundation return.”

Simon, the author of the new book Real Impact, got her first exposure to some big-picture financial issues at a young age, when she visited Sierra Leone as a USAID worker. While there, she bought a can of tuna at a roadside stand from a woman who had no interest in eating fish out of a can.

Simon calculated that the $1 that she had paid the vendor was enough for the woman to buy a few full meals for her family; not only that, but the can brought far more economic value to the shippers along the supply chain, from Japan to Africa, than it did to the woman it was supposed to help.

The interaction illustrated an

important lesson—that making a difference involves more than having philanthropic organizations write big checks. Donors have to be invested in how their checks are getting cashed.

Simon—whose sister Nina is executive director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History—said there are a number of ways for people to get involved with their money.

They could bank locally to keep their money in the community. She highlighted the work of her brotherin-law Sibley Simon, who’s created an impact investment fund to spur workforce housing development. She also lauded Cadenas for helping kickstart a local movement of workerowned businesses.

“Watch your assets,” Simon said.

“The point is, it’s your money. When we put our money in the bank or we hand it to the financial adviser, we treat it like it’s not ours anymore. And other people are making decisions about what our money is doing in society, but we’re still responsible for those decisions.” >18

GIVING IT WINGS

In an effort to save Monarch butterflies, Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) has introduced Assembly Bill 2421—a $3 million piece of legislation to provide technical assistance and funding toward preserving and restoring the habitats of Monarch butterflies and other pollinators and across the state.

AB 2421 has so far received bipartisan support, having passed the state Assembly 64-7. It needs to go through the Senate before making its way to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk, which is expected to happen next month. Brown has already earmarked $3 million for the bill in the upcoming budget, and it could have a significant impact on Santa Cruz.

Soon public agencies, nonprofits, farmers, ranchers, and other private land trusts should be able to receive funding, technical assistance, and guidance about how to preserve and restore overwintering grounds and pollinator breeding habitats from the Monarch and Pollinator Rescue Program (MPRP), which the bill establishes as part of the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB).

Many scientists agree that things will get worse for the Monarchs before they get better, although the feds have shown little interest in listing the butterfly as endangered.

Experts say there is more than a 70 percent chance that Monarchs will go totally extinct within the next two decades,

according to Stone’s bill.

The populations of Monarchs and other pollinators are dwindling at a rapid rate.

“Monarchs are at risk of a total collapse,” says Stone. “There were once millions of them on the Central Coast. Now there are a few hundred thousand.”

Migrating Monarchs bring in tourist dollars to Santa Cruz County. “It’s something that makes the Central Coast unique,” he says.

Under the bill, state parks like Natural Bridges would be able to apply for grant money from the MPRP, as needed.

Stone says a significant portion of AB 2421 funding will go toward maintaining overwintering habitat for Monarch butterflies.

Although Monarchs are

iconic and grab big headlines, Stone says other species of pollinators would benefit from AB 2421, too. Bees, for instance, are in trouble around the world, under siege from parasites and insecticides.

“We want to protect all pollinators,” says Stone.

“They’re good for our agriculture, good for our entire ecosystem, and important to sustain human communities.

Without pollinators, crops suffer because they cannot reproduce and grow.”

The MPRP will be in charge of doling out money, and providing other forms of assistance and support. Stone hopes that private money will enter the fund, too, to supplement the effort.

geographic and demographic diversity of the service area, says Benjamin Eichert, director of the Greenpower program at interfaith advocacy group the Romero Institute.

“Some of the other programs have expanded to later encompass low-income communities, but for the most part they launched in affluent communities,” Eichert says. “You can see the breadth of the program when it includes Carmel, Santa Cruz, but also Hollister, Gonzales.”

Though many environmental groups and policymakers in Santa Cruz have long been outspoken advocates of environmental conservation and climate action, community choice energy isn’t without its critics.

Environmental justice groups sometimes contend that business models don’t go far enough to improve access for low-income ratepayers, and climate advocates often disagree about the shades of green that color different carbon-free power sources.

Hydropower, for instance, notoriously attracts water conservation concerns.

Locally, PG&E will still oversee transmission, distribution, customer

service and billing for all electricity. By the end of this year, however, all commercial and residential users in Monterey Bay Community Power’s service region will begin receiving power from the agency’s portfolio of hydroelectric, solar and wind energy, with the exception of those who decide to opt out of the program and stick with PG&E. The utility’s power mix also includes fossil fuels, natural gas and nuclear power, among other sources.

Of the commercial customers who started the rollover to Monterey Bay Community Power earlier this year, 3 percent have opted out of the new service.

Just 1 percent of residential customers have opted out since enrollment started July 1, says Monterey Bay Community Power Director of Communications J.R. Killigrew.

Thanks in large part to high anticipated enrollment, the agency is projected to generate $136 million in revenue this year, and $262 million during the first full year of operation in 2019.

Killigrew, a veteran of Marin’s CCE program, says those who opt out are often skeptical of government-controlled power or “just like the status quo.” Costs, Killigrew

adds, were designed to be an incentive, rather than a barrier.

“We’re the first community choice program that has an annual rebate program for residential customers, a biannual model for commercial users and a quarterly rebate for large industrial users,” Killigrew says.

To counter concerns about volatile renewable energy prices, Monterey Bay Community Power promises that a 3 percent rebate from PG&E’s rates will be tacked onto customer bills once, twice or four times per year based on power consumption. The program also allows customers to forgo their rebate to help fund local sustainability projects.

Among the biggest questions is how the agency will reinvest funds collected from customers. Since Monterey Bay Community Power is authorized to procure power throughout the Western U.S., customers can pay a higher rate for energy generated in California. Funding local clean power projects is a priority for groups like Eichert’s Greenpower—and the agency did recently release a “Go Local” request for offers to support 20 megawatts of new solar installations in the region—but large-

scale projects in cheaper states often come with lower wholesale rates.

“They will be getting renewable energy from a variety of places,” Eichert says. “We want as much as possible of it to be local.”

At least 2 percent of annual revenue will also be dedicated to programs to encourage broader adoption of green technologies— and “not just for your brand-new Tesla,” Whitworth says. Among the programs the agency has considered are making it easier to buy used electric cars or preventing customers behind on their electricity bill from having their power shut off.

Events like this weekend’s festival, Killigrew says, are designed to bring new technologies to life.

“It’s probably one of the fastest-growing revolutions people have seen in a long time,” he says.

The Community Power Festival will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, July 14 at San Lorenzo Park, celebrating the launch of Monterey Bay Community Power, which has been enrolling customers from Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey counties. There will be interactive booths, local vendors, community organizations, food and live music.

Cadenas knows how big some of her ideas sound. She realizes that will take more than a couple worker-owned businesses to create a more balanced economy, but she says we have to think about building a new ecosystem when it comes to impact investing.

“We have to plan for 50 years in the future,” she says. “The idea that you’re looking for a return on investment in one year and you’re gonna capitalize on it, that’s the idea of the current model. You’re going to go in and extract all the value from the community or a resource, benefit from it and go. That’s the model.

What we’re saying is, ‘No, that doesn’t work.’ We’re not looking to extract the value. We’re looking to build the value in the community where people are going to live. That means we’re not looking to build billionaires.”

Cadenas says the first phase of Community Ventures’ plan involves supporting the switch to more workerowned businesses. Local group Co-Op SC formed earlier this year to help business owners explore these issues.

Cadenas says Community Ventures plans to offer technical assistance, providing access to accountants, lawyers and consultants. The next step would involve crowdfunding, which is just taking off in California as a way for businesses to seek funding from their communities. The final piece, Cadenas says, will be the impact investment fund, to fill in the gaps.

She says that in order to address income gaps, the Community Ventures prioritizes women and Latino families.

Those are also the groups that the nonprofit will target as potential employee owners of local businesses.

Cadenas envisions this new model being able to scale from Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay to the Central Coast—and eventually even beyond that.

“We have the political will and the history—and, I think, the guts—to try it,” she says. “If there’s any place where we can pilot this and build it up, it’s Santa Cruz. We’re the right size.

We’re the right people, and it’s the right time to do it. There’s no reason to hold up. We’ve just got to be willing to take it and build on it.”

Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s 2018 season examines gender battles on stage and gender balance behind the scenes

BY WALLACE BAINE

I

n a theater company named after the most famous dead white male in Western literature, perfect gender equality may never be attainable.

But that’s not stopping Santa Cruz Shakespeare from getting as close as possible.

Of all of artistic director Mike Ryan’s seemingly superhuman contributions to his company— reviving it from the ashes of the defunct Shakespeare Santa Cruz, developing a new funding model, establishing a picturesque new

home—his policy of gender equity in his acting troupe may be the most radical.

Mandating an equal balance between men and women in his casts is about more than giving female actors opportunities that wouldn’t exist otherwise. It also means re-imagining male roles for women, which requires doing something Ryan’s predecessors considered taboo: changing Shakespeare’s text, even if it’s only pronouns.

Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s fifth season, which starts this

week, can best be described as an exploration of the eternal dance between “he” and “she.” It features the world’s most famous doomed romance Romeo and Juliet, the often-overlooked rom-com Love’s Labour’s Lost, and the season’s nonShakespearean offering, David Ives’s explosive two-person (yep, one man and one woman) drama Venus in Fur. Each play confronts the dynamics of male and female desire; where those two implacable forces mesh, and where they clash. Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s best-known

work, and maybe the world’s most famous story of untamable love breaking through tribal hatred.

Love’s Labour’s Lost is a comedy about four guys renouncing love in favor of study until they meet four gals who put their vow to the test. And Venus is an intimate battle between a man and a woman that pits male expectations against female vulnerability.

Ryan says the theme of the 2018 season is the “undeniability of desire,” and he relates it to the drama that played out five years

<21 ago when UCSC extinguished the debt-ridden Shakespeare Santa Cruz, prompting the creation of the newly independent Santa Cruz Shakespeare. The season’s theme, says Ryan, “also celebrates the fact that this community refused to be denied its desire for its Shakespeare festival.”

This summer’s festival goes into September to allow for a new education program, in which backin-session schools can bring students to the festival’s grounds at the Grove at DeLaveaga Park for reduced-price (and, in some cases, free) tickets.

“Our ultimate goal with this program is to ensure that every student who graduates high school in Santa Cruz County has the opportunity to see a live performance of Shakespeare,” says Ryan.

What those students (and everyone else) will see is an equal number of men and women on stage. That necessarily means that several roles that Shakespeare

envisioned as men are going to be “re-gendered” as women. In Romeo and Juliet, those include Juliet’s hot-headed cousin Tybalt, and Romeo’s would-be peacekeeper cousin Benvolio. In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the French lord Boyet and the schoolmaster Holofernes will both be women.

Michael Warren is SCS’s textual consultant and head of dramaturgy, a role he’s filled since 1982—the original company’s first season.

He was part of the company’s brain trust when the idea of changing Shakespeare’s text was unthinkable. Now, he’s helping the festival’s directors tweak the text to conform to the new policy.

“In the last 10 years,” says Warren, “we’ve moved into a much more flexible approach. There are a lot more signs of adaptations going on now. The scholar in me, the historian in me, wants to see something that is a representation of the Shakespearean original. At

‘The play is about male fantasy and female reality. The perception of how this cisgender straight male looks at the female is based on something that isn’t real. She’s a real woman. He thinks the ideal woman is a 24-year-old saint/ sinner fantasy girl. And she’s just an actress trying to get a job.’

— Director Raelle Myrick-Hodges on ‘Venus in Fur’ <22 the same time, I accept that theater artists are interested in doing something that renders the work in immediate engagement with social conditions in the 21st century. In that regard, I see exactly what the theater is trying to do. It’s seeing it as a mode of revitalization and fresh thinking not only about the particular play, but about theater’s role in the community and in political life.”

The “new” characters open up unforeseen possibilities in otherwise well-known Shakespearean plays. “I’ve made a joke about this, but it’s true,” says Romeo and Juliet director Laura Gordon about the female conversion of Tybalt and Benvolio.

“When we were trying to figure out what world we would set this in, the main motivating questions were: What weapons would they fight with? And what will Tybalt as a woman wear to the party?”

‘ALL ARE PUNISHED’ With the possible exception of Hamlet, there is no more familiar play in the Shakespearean canon than Romeo and Juliet. The tragedy of the two star-crossed young lovers in Verona has been told in countless versions and from countless perspectives. But, says Gordon, the play is a classic

because it is so masterful.

“The more you get into it, you see it’s just a brilliant play,” she says.

“It’s so incredibly well-written. The poetry is unbelievably beautiful.

The psychology of the characters and the compressed time frame of the story—it all happens in three or four days—is so well done.”

“It’s a dazzling piece of work,” says Warren. “It’s very tightly plotted. The verse is extraordinarily inventive.

Shakespeare was moving around various kinds of human speech within it. It’s immensely dynamic.”

Gordon’s gender-balanced 16-member cast (which includes Mike Ryan as Friar Laurence) will be costumed by SCS’s redoubtable veteran B. Modern. The setting of the new production tries to thread the needle between the past and the present. The look and costuming style will be, says Gordon, “inspired by the Italian Renaissance,” which doesn’t mean it will be a period piece. Gordon says that she was influenced by Renaissance-style fashions by designers Alexander McQueen and Alberta Ferretti, looks that evoke the Renaissance while still maintaining contemporary aesthetics.

“We’re trying to allow the story to speak to both its own time and to reach us in ours,” she says.

‘LOVE IS A DEVIL’ In any contemporary ranking of Shakespeare’s comedies, Love’s Labour’s Lost would likely rank well behind a number of other touchstones like A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night.

But that, says Michael Warren, is an injustice.

“It’s an incredibly funny play,” he says. “The plot is not very elaborate, but there is a lot of wit in it.”

Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, written some time in the mid 1590s when Shakespeare was around 30. It is centered on a king and three lords who have all devoted themselves to three years of study and contemplation without the company of women. Those vows face a trial when the king’s camp is visited by the beautiful Princess of France and her three ladies.

The men are hopelessly smitten, but don’t want to let on to one another that they have broken their oath. “Shakespeare did this amazing thing with this play,” says the production’s director Paul Mullins, in his fourth season at SCS.

Ryan points to the play’s setting of Verona, paralyzed by a blood feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, as an uncomfortable allusion to current political divisions.

“We’ve never lived in a more polarizing time, at least not in my lifetime. And that seems very much a parallel with Shakespeare’s Verona, which is a town completely polarized. There are also deep parallels between the play and the contemporary slaughter of children by children we see in these school shootings. In this play, all the young people die, killing each other or themselves.”

“I wasn’t interested in having a very contemporary setting,” says Gordon, who also directed SCS’s Much Ado About Nothing in 2015, “where all the Montagues are Republicans and all the Capulets are Democrats, or vice versa, and try to make it super specific. Because I lose the Shakespeare in that.”

At the same time, she says, the Renaissance vibe also allows her to avoid one chilling reflection of modern times: “I really wanted us to fight with rapier and dagger, so we wouldn’t have to deal with guns.”

“He made it about language. It’s an explosion of language and poetry and the ways we communicate, especially when it comes to love and desire. There’s a great deal of rhyming in it, a great deal of sonneting in it. Some of it might be difficult for our modern ear to take.

But it’s a wonderful and exuberant story about love and how, when you try to deny it, it will out.”

Mullins says that the play will be set in 1915, “without a lot of modern things, like telephones. We liked the way that looked.”

‘I SHALL DENY MYSELF NOTHING’ The third play of the season, Venus in Fur by David Ives, dates back only to 2010. But it alludes to source material that is much older, Venus in Furs (note the plural), a 19th century novel by Austrian Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (whose surname gave us the word “masochism.”)

Ives’s play is a two-person back-and-forth set during the end of a long day of unsuccessful auditioning for a demanding theater director. Just as he is finishing up his day, a woman bursts in, soaking wet, apologizing for being late, and begging for a chance to audition. The woman is obviously all wrong for what the director has in mind, but slowly her position of powerlessness becomes an asset in her struggle to change his mind.

“This play has nothing to do with theater,” says director Raelle Myrick-Hodges, a SCS first-timer.

“It has to do with what it’s like to be afraid of failing, and it has to do with what it means to be perceived solely as an object.”

Myrick-Hodges says that Venus will particularly resonate with women who have to navigate a world of unrealistic expectations from privileged men in positions of influence.

“The play is about male fantasy and female reality,” she says. “The perception of how this cisgender straight male looks at the female is

based on something that isn’t real.

She’s a real woman. He thinks the ideal woman is a 24-year-old saint/ sinner fantasy girl. And she’s just an actress trying to get a job.”

Mike Ryan saw the play at ACT and realized that unlike a lot of other two-person plays, it had the power to fill the outdoor space at the Grove. “It starts out with the most unbalanced power dynamic you can imagine. I mean, it doesn’t get any more lopsided than that.

With the #MeToo stuff going on, this play is particularly timely.”

As artistic director, Ryan knows that his selection of plays is what sells a season. But he’s also eager to point to other new considerations: a more comprehensive shade structure for those hot summer days at DeLaveaga, and a new license to sell beer and wine.

Mostly though, Ryan wants live theater fans to settle in for a season where the drama is mostly on stage, and not in the struggle for the company to survive. “In the early days, there were a lot of questions about us: Can they make it work? Is it going to last?

Will they have a new home? Thank goodness for the amazing donors who stuck with us. But I’m hopeful now that some of the people who took a wait-and-see approach will go ‘OK, those guys have figured it out. Let’s do this.’”

Hidden Truths

Watsonville native Jeanne Sakata’s ‘Hold These Truths’ brings a true story of the Japanese internment camps to the stage BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

J

eanne Sakata’s father never talked about his internment by his own country. He didn’t want her to hold resentment toward her country, and hoped his family could move forward and not look back.

HOT TICKET

Her father was in high school when President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized Executive Order 9066 to relocate more than 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry (including U.S. citizens) to internment camps

following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Sakata’s grandfather had moved to the Pajaro Valley in 1918, working as a farmer and raising his family. But when the mandate came, the whole Sakata family was

relocated from Watsonville to a remote internment camp in Arizona.

“My father would always give me short answers, and then he would change the subject when I would ask about it,” Sakata remembers.

“Sakata says she believes ‘Hold These Truths’ continues to resonate with many people across various backgrounds.” it. Gordon was a storyteller, full of stories and details about it all.”

Hirabayashi died in 2012, at the age of 93, just before President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He never did see Sakata’s show, but she says she knows he would have enjoyed it.

“He had a gift of optimism,” Sakata says. “He said ‘what I was trying to do is say yes to the America that I wanted to be part of. I wanted to be positive.’

He wanted to hold the country to a standard outlined in the Constitution.

It wasn’t a protest, it was hope.”

The play has experienced a timely resurgence, having been produced nine times in the last two years.

Though the political climate has changed dramatically since the show began, Sakata says she believes Hold These Truths continues to resonate with many people across various backgrounds who have experienced fear and mistrust of the government based on their heritage.

“Gordon took the Constitution as his Constitution, which gave him the strength to take the stand he did,” Sakata says. “That’s what it’s going to take today: an active citizenry that says ‘this is our Constitution, and we are going to fight for the rights that matter to us.’”

Whether it’s the Muslim ban or migrant children’s camps, many of the largest national issues today contain echoes of Hirabayashi’s story. Sakata says she has a lot of hope that the next generation will break the seemingly never-ending loop of racial biases.

“There are so many of us that are feeling threatened,” Sakata says of minority communities. “I am hoping that there will be a sense of empathy so that if one of us is threatened, all of us are threatened. That we will stick up for each other, and fight on behalf of everyone.”

‘Hold These Truths’ will be presented July 11-Aug. 5 at the Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto. theatreworks. org. $35-$60.

“After they got out of those camps, many of the nisei—second-generation Japanese Americans—felt that the best way to deal with the trauma was to not talk about it. There was a sense of shame and humiliation that as American citizens, they had been treated like this.”

Because of the secrecy in her family, Sakata says, it wasn’t until she opened a textbook in high school that she understood what incarcerated Japanese Americans had gone through during World War II. When Sakata saw the documentary A Personal Matter: Gordon Hirabayashi vs. the United States by John de Graaf, she was stunned that she’d never heard of Hirabayashi’s 50-year fight for equality and consciousness.

Hirabayashi, a Washington University student during World War II, challenged the constitutionality of the forced relocation of Japanese Americans all the way to the Supreme Court.

He lost his case, and it wasn’t until more than 40 years later that President Ronald Reagan offered a formal apology to Japanese Americans who were interned in the camps.

Sakata wanted to bring more attention to Hirabayashi’s story, so as a longtime playwright—in addition to her work as an actress in theater and television—she decided to do what she does best. Her one-man show Dawn’s Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi debuted in 2007 at East West Players in Los Angeles. Later retitled Hold These Truths, the play tells the story of Hirabayashi’s long fight for his rights as an American citizen. Over the course of the 90-minute show, actor Joel de la Fuente plays 37 characters, including Hirabayashi.

“When I eventually met Gordon and interviewed him, it was such a redemptive, enlightening experience,” Sakata says. “There were secrets that were long buried there for me, since my father never said much about

ut magic is alive in this chateau—no one knows it better than me—and magic obeys its own rules,” says the mercurial heroine of Beast: a Tale of Love and Revenge.

Author Lisa Jensen has been practicing magic of her own for almost two decades as a literary transformer of classic fairytales.

In addition to her long career as a film reviewer for Good Times, Jensen is also the author of The Witch from the Sea, and Alias, Hook, a cunning twist on the James Barrie landmark, Peter Pan. “People go crazy for fairytales,” she admits. “In particular Beauty and the Beast,” “The brave young woman, the misunderstood monster, the star-crossed romance.”

Jensen’s version, however, is provocatively different. The title says it all.

“I always preferred the beast to the beauty,” she says of the 18th-century French tale that has been adapted for film, literature, and television countless times in the past century, “and so I began thinking of writing a version in which a woman doesn’t want him to turn back into a prince.”

To do so required the invention of a new heroine through whose vivid voice the story is told. Jensen’s first visit to France in 2001 provided the spark. “Everywhere in France looked like a fairytale,” she says. And so she began the book, in which the key characters undergo their own transformative journeys. “The allure of working with fairytales is that the story is already there—I know how the story works.”

The most intricate and provocative difference in Jensen’s retelling is the relationship between the Beast, who is the lord of a cursed stately chateau, and the serving girl Lucie. “Their parallel journeys of discovery are for me the most vivid and important elements of the book,” she says.

To say any more about Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge would be to give away too much of the magic.

Filled with imaginative plotting, lush descriptions, and more than one surprising twist—this is a fairytale the Brothers Grimm would have loved.

Lisa Jensen will read and discuss her latest book, ‘Beast: a Tale of Love and Revenge,’ at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

IT’S GONNA BE A LUNG DAY Kate Wakefield (left) and Daisy Caplan of Lung play at the Crepe Place on July 18.

Kate Wakefield’s cello is the means to a punk rock end in Lung BY AARON CARNES

K

ate Wakefield recalls playing a show in Baltimore recently, and getting a really strange response after her indie-punk band Lung got off the stage.

“The man said, ‘I expected you to sound like Zooey Deschanel,’ Wakefield remembers, explaining: “They were expecting it to be really poppy and indie.”

It’s understandable that he would see the duo—made up of Wakefield, who plays the cello and sings, and Daisy Caplan, who plays the drums— and not think “punk rock.”

But they do, in fact, rock hard.

Wakefield’s electric cello is distorted, and she’s able to play some deep bassy riffs on it.

“You have a lot to work with. You have two lower registers of the cello.

You have really screechy stuff that you can do on the top two strings.

It’s almost like a weird primal scream,” Wakefield says.

Before starting Lung with Caplan two years ago, Wakefield had already been writing music on her cello. When she plays solo, she loops it, and the resulting music is grand and ethereal, almost fantastical.

But then one day, Wakefield noticed that she was starting to write harder, darker material that wasn’t quite fitting into the style of her solo material. She started to jam with Caplan’s old band Foxy Shazam, but that band just happened to break up right around the same time, so instead of feeling defeated, she started Lung with Caplan.

After just playing one show together, Wakefield and Caplan went to record a four-song demo.

Everything clicked so well, they ended up recording a record’s worth of stuff.

They released it in March 2017 as

Bottom of the Barrel. The record, which has minimal extra flourishes, gives you a sense of the intensity the group can create with just two people.

There’s a clear interplay between the cello and drums, and Daisy rarely does anything flashy, instead opting for high dynamic shifts in the songs. He attributes his approach to having played other instruments.

“I have a lifetime of yelling at drummers for doing things not the way I want them to do it,” Caplan says. “It gives me a better scope, now that I’m playing drums, of how I want to be playing drums.”

Wakefield says when she’s writing a song she can almost immediately tell if it’s for her solo project or for Lung.

More often than not, most of Lung’s songs are written with Caplan, so they can bounce ideas off each other.

“Daisy will play a beat, and it’ll be strange and interesting. We were working on something yesterday where I wouldn’t have come up with the melodic line or the part,” Wakefield says. “I think the biggest difference between this one and the solo one is that I can really express feelings of anger and just really intense crazed feelings. Like you’re up in the middle of the night and you’re looking at humanity and you’re disgusted, and you look around you and what has been happening with the world that we’re living in and what’s happening with this country.”

The band has toured pretty relentlessly, and has turned heads wherever they have landed, as folks anticipate something that sounds a bit more, er, classical. But as they prepare for the next album, they say it will be even heavier.

They also say that some of the clear lines that separated Wakefield’s solo songs and Lung might not be so clear in the future.

“There are definitely some gray areas. But I think that we were both overly conscious of gray areas at one point, and now it’s just more fun,” Caplan says. “I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t like her solo stuff. It’s fun to blend it and explore the gray areas and also have them be separate entities. It’s musical freedom.”

Lung plays at 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 18 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8, 429-6994.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

JOE KAPLOW Joe Kaplow grew up on a farm in rural New Jersey, playing music, but not really knowing what to do with it.

Eventually he went on a nine-month U.S. tour. Santa Cruz was one of the spots on that venture. He liked it so much that he now calls it home.

RUNA

In describing this long tour, he jokingly refers to it as his “farm-totable” tour.

“I left the farm, and now I’m playing at your table,” he tells me.

JULY 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Not only did he immediately like Santa Cruz, but living here had a major impact on his creativity. For starters, it motivated him to get into a studio and record an EP, which happened months after he relocated here. This first selftitled EP, which he recorded in a single day, was released on Sept. 9, 2015.

42

“I grew up in the middle of nowhere, so there wasn’t an active scene in music. I was essentially a bedroom musician up until then,” Kaplow says.

For the most part, Kaplow no longer plays as a solo artist because he used a band to create the music on this record. His current live lineup includes Elliott Kay on guitar, Kai Kopecky on bass, Mikey Whalen on drums, and Rob Armenti on keyboards. The album will get released in November. This coming show at the Crepe Place he will release its first single, “I Said I Was Going and I Went.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, July 13. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

WEDNESDAY 7/11 AMERICANA

WILD & BLUE Back in 1991, local singer-songwriter Steve Bennett wrote a song about his then 18-month old daughter April (“I never knew about love/till I held you in my arms.”) It’s a heartwarming song he still plays sometimes and gets emotional about. But nowadays he has a musical project with April called Wild & Blue. It’s a powerful father-daughter project. He picks the acoustic guitar, she sings. You can really see Steve’s great songwriting still in action. There’s some twang there, but just a touch. April’s melancholy vocal hooks bring the songs to life. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

WEDNESDAY 7/11 AMERICANA

NATHAN MOORE & MAGIC IN THE OTHER If you missed their performance at

last week’s High Sierra Music Festival, then make sure not to miss this enchanted evening of jazzy tunes at Moe’s Alley. Both Nathan Moore and Magic in the Other will be playing their repertoire of unique jazzy and jam hits. Nathan Moore delivers singer-songwriter tunes that are one part folk, one part ragtime and all traveling troubadour. No Magic in the Other features members of Phil Lesh & friends, ALO and Mercury Falls for a funk infused jazz fest that’s as cool as the snazzy suits they perform in.

FRIDAY 7/13 SOUL/SKA

INCITERS & MONKEY 2018 has been a stressful year. Guess what, it’s halfway over so it’s time to celebrate with an evening of dancing.

I know what you’re thinking—should I go dance to soul music or ska? The correct answer is both. Lucky for you, local northern soul all-stars the Inciters are pairing up with longtime

San Jose ska band Monkey to bring you an evening you’ll be unable to sit still for. Northern soul is a high energy (extra-dancey) style of soul music. Monkey, as you likely know, plays straight up ska without all the slam-dancing-pitting action that some of the other punky-ska bands play. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

FRIDAY 7/13 PUNK

WEIRDOS This Los Angeles group originally formed in 1975, complete with short haircuts, strange clothes and fast music played at extreme levels. While they tried to stray from the “punk” labeling for as long as they could— opting for the preferred nomenclature “art rock”—music fans couldn’t help but see the comparisons. Just listen to their early recordings, and you’ll understand why. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $17/door. 429-4135.

SUNDAY 7/15 BLUEGRASS

DEL MCCOURY BAND The most award-winning bluegrass band of all time, the Del McCoury Band has been holding it down since the late-’60s. Performing traditional bluegrass, McCoury and company also take an open-minded approach to bluegrass and have grown a fan base that includes Americana enthusiasts, jam band festival attendees and traditionalists alike. For 50-plus years, McCoury has been at the front of the bluegrass wave and has paved the way for countless artists to follow his lead. As resonator guitar standout Jerry Douglas put it, “You can finally make a living playing bluegrass, and

a large part of it is because of Del McCoury.” CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $40/gen, $55/gold. 4238209.

DAROL ANGER & THE FURIES

AARDVARK & WHEELHOUSE

Over the last 30 years, Darol Anger has changed the way we view the fiddle by mixing his favorite influences from around the world. If his name doesn’t ring a bell at first, you’ve probably heard him playing in the David Grisman Quintet, Psychograss, or the Turtle Island String Quartet, to name a few of his projects. His latest band, the Furies, is an all-star cast of stringed wonders, hand-picked by the man himself. If you’re a fan of the old-timey jams with a modern twist, don’t miss this one-night experience.

Nzuri Soul is a multi-faceted Bay Area gem that can heat things up with an Aretha cover, get the dance floor shaking with funky horns and deep grooves, and slow things down with a smoothed-out love jam. Comprising Lamar Green on keyboards, Eddie Wroten on bass, Chris Brochard on guitar, Mike McCoy on percussion, the captivating Kimberli Stafford on lead vocals, and the Carter Sisters on background vocals, Nzuri Soul blends soul, gospel and R&B in all the right ways. CJ

forward-thinking. Members of the band have roots in the U.S., Canada and Ireland and are now based in Philadelphia, Nashville and Chicago. Collectively, they’ve established themselves as one of the most engaging and innovative contemporary Celtic groups around. CJ

How does Ukraine ensemble DakhaBrakha describe themselves?

“The world of unexpected,” a fitting description as you’ve likely never seen anything like them. They are part traditional Ukrainian folk band, part vibrant tribal drum circle and part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink genre tinkering, with hip-hop, soul, classical, and punk all being up for grabs in these songs. But none of that really explains what makes the shows so exciting. There’s certainly the theatrical elements and the costumes. But let’s not forget the strange bird sounds members sometimes make instead of singing.

Anything goes, and it usually creates some powerful, and surprisingly political music. AC

FILM

THREE IS A TRAGIC NUMBER These famous triplets discover layer upon layer of surprises—

not all of them pleasant—in the new documentary ‘Three Identical Strangers’

Triple Threat JULY 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Separated sibs uncover sinister plot in 'Three Identical Strangers' BY LISA JENSEN

48

T

ruth is definitely stranger than fiction—and a lot more sinister—in Three Identical Strangers.

Filmmaker Tim Wardle’s engrossing documentary follows the true story of three young men who met by chance and discovered they were triplets, separated from each other and their birth mother as infants.

None of them had any idea that the other two existed. How this happened—and the darker question of why—makes Wardle’s movie as gripping as any thriller.

As in fiction, we begin with a single protagonist whose adventures draw us

into a larger story. In 1980, on his very first day of community college in the Catskills, 19-year-old Bobby Shafran couldn’t figure out why people he'd never seen before kept greeting him so warmly. Looking back, the adult Bobby recalls, he just thought it must be a friendly place. The weird thing was, everyone kept calling him “Eddy.”

On a hunch, one of his astonished fellow students asked Bobby if he was adopted, which he was. This student also knew the mysterious Eddy Galland, who was also adopted, and the two men took a two-hour drive to Long Island to meet him. “The door opened,” Bobby recalls, “and there was

me, standing there.” The two strangers had the same curly hair, the same wide, toothy grin, the same build— and the same birthdate, at the same hospital. They were identical twins.

The human-interest story about the twins who found each other by sheer chance got some press in the local tabloids, and that’s when things got even more bizarre.

David Kellman, a student at Queens College, saw a newspaper story about the twins, and recognized his own face—and his birthdate.

Also raised by adoptive parents, David called the Gallands and reached Eddy’s mom. “Oh my god,”

she remembers thinking, “They’re coming out of the woodwork!”

Using archival footage and some reenactment, this first section of the movie is played for larky good cheer, as the ingratiating triplets, now inseparable, make the rounds of talk shows and nightclubs, coasting along on the fumes of their amazing story and sudden celebrity. In time, they even open a NYC restaurant together, called—what else—Triplets.

But things begin to take a darker turn when all three sets of adoptive parents—none of whom was ever told about the other two boys—go en masse to visit the adoption agency, Louise Wise Services, to get some answers as to why the babies were split up. Besides appearance and mannerisms, what the triplets have in common is that each was raised in a household with one other adopted sibling. Each one also vaguely remembers regular visits from strangers when he was a small child who gave him tests and filmed his play. And was it sheer coincidence that the boys were placed in such a cross-section of economic households—one working-class, one middle-class, and one well-to-do?

But nothing in this story is coincidental. While the agency’s so-called answers to the parents are “elusive,” we learn that major players included an Austrian geneticist, two of his research assistants (one slightly less ethically challenged than the other, in retrospect), and a journalist writing a story for The New Yorker whose research confirms that all three boys and their adoptive families—without their knowledge or consent—were part of a scientific study that went on for decades. But the study was never published, and David goes online to discover the documents have been sealed in a vault at Yale until 2066.

None of these participants knew they were in an experiment; they thought they were having lives. The callous indifference of the researchers and their enablers is chilling.

THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS *** (out of four) With Eddy Galland, David Kellman, and Robert Shafran. Directed by Tim Wardle.

A Neon release. Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION Forget all that high-falutin’ Pixar stuff—Hotel Transylvania 2 is possibly the best animated kid’s movie ever. I know this because my daughter made me watch it approximately 143 times. It became so much a part of my life that I actually worked up a fairly developed plotline for Hotel Transylvania 3 in my head. I can’t remember it exactly now, but the monsters definitely end up opening a Hotel Transylvania in Hollywood. Sadly, Drac and company never called and asked for my input, choosing to go with this sequel about a summer cruise instead. What do you mean “Drac isn’t real?”What are you implying when you say “you’ve lost your mind and you’re living in a fantasy world?” I don’t have time to listen to this nonsense!

I have to go host a birthday party for Steve Buscemi’s werewolf children!

Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky.

Featuring the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi and Mel Brooks. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) LEAVE NO TRACE A father and his daughter living off the grid in a vast forest outside of Portland are suddenly thrust into society against their will, and have to decide how they can get off of the world’s radar again—and if they want to. Directed

by Debra Granik. Starring Ben Foster and Thomasin Mckenzie. (PG) 109 minutes.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google.com/group/ LTATM.

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN ANIMALS Heist movies are a dime a dozen these days, but this one is at least different in that it’s based on one of the real-life worst art heist attempts ever. Four college kids really did try to rob a nature book worth millions from a library in 2004, leading to a comedy of errors so unlikely that even when seen it probably won’t be believed.

The filmmakers have intercut the film’s narrative with interviews of the real-life criminals, who definitely have a lot of explaining to do. Directed by Bart Layton. Starring Evan Peters, Barry Keoghan, Blake Jenner and Ann Dowd. (R) 117 minutes. (SP) ANT-MAN AND THE WASP When I first heard about this movie, I thought it stood for Ant-Man and the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and I was like,“Whoa, Roseanne was one thing, but this pandering to Trump voters is getting a little obvious!” But no, actually it’s like a buzz-buzz kind of Wasp, and she is a superhero who joins up with another insect superhero, the Ant-Man. You would think their superpowers would probably be ruining picnics and making people go “Aaaah!” But instead, they change size and fly around and make jokes while catching bad guys. That’s way better! Directed

by Peyton Reed. Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas.

(PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP) BOUNDARIES In this comedydrama from Shana Feste, Christopher Plummer plays a pot-dealing grandpa who gets kicked out of a nursing home and has to travel across the country with his estranged daughter and her son. Old people—they’re just like us! Only old. And if I remember Star Trek VI correctly, possibly Klingon? (R) 104 minutes. (SP) FIRST REFORMED In 1976, Paul Schrader wrote the incendiary script for Taxi Driver, about a troubled loner so disgruntled by the corruption of modern life that he plots a horrifying act of violence. Since then, we can now add the ongoing destruction of the planet to the list of humanity’s crimes—an issue Schrader addresses through another troubled protagonist in this powerful tale. Directing his own script, Schrader crafts a slowbuilding drama of despair, loss, and attempted redemption. At its center is a conflicted Protestant pastor whose tragic past and bleak present lead him to question his faith and his purpose.

Ethan Hawke plays the part with the desperate self-control of someone who knows he’s teetering on the edge of the abyss. (R) 117 minutes. (LJ) THE FIRST PURGE Get Out may be the best political horror movie of all time, but the Purge series paved the way for its success. The Purge was where Blumhouse Productions learned that a smart slice of social commentary could make a familiar horror set-up into something entirely different. Ironically, the original Purge film wasn’t that great, other than the interesting premise of a near-future fascist America where citizens are allowed to commit murder and other crimes with no repercussions for one day a year. But the sequels have gotten better and better, exploring the intricacies of how such a world would work, and why. This fourth action-horror entry is a prequel that dials the story back to when the “New Founding Fathers” initiated the first Purge. Subtlety is not the name of the game here, as the teaser poster that featured the film’s title on a MAGAstyle red hat should tell you. Could be

the best one yet! Directed by Gerard McMurray. Starring Y’lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, and Luna Lauren Velez.

(R) 97 minutes. (SP) Co-starring Amanda Seyfried, Cedric Kyles and Victoria Hill. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) HEREDITARY It’s being called the scariest film of the year, and it stars … your mama! Well, not yours, exactly, unless you are Toni Collette. But like Get Out, It Follows and several other recent low-budget, high-concept horror movies, this one is out to make a point about how we all live in the shadow of our family history, as Collette’s character comes to realize after her matriarch mom dies and increasingly terrifying secrets are revealed. Co-starring Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff and Ann Dowd. Directed by Ari Aster. (R) 129 minutes. (SP) INCREDIBLES 2 Normally, a sequel that takes 14 years to make is a dubious proposition. But for this follow-up to the megahit about a family of superheroes coming to grips with their powers—which is, if not the best Pixar film of all time, certainly in the conversation—I think we’ll all make an exception. Directed by Brad Bird. Featuring the voices of Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell and Samuel L. Jackson. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM It’s a bit ironic that the bad guy in this film is a corrupt businessman who wants to exploit the dinosaurs for terrible purposes. ’Cause, uh, that’s pretty much the story of how this movie even exists, right? When you consider that this franchise has been creatively bankrupt since the awful first Jurassic Park sequel 20 years ago, it’s safe to say that no amount of Jeff Goldblum charmingly not understanding how to speak sentences is going to make this movie bearable. Directed by J.A. Bayona. Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and, ah, ah, yes, hmm, Jeff, ah, Goldblum. (PG-13) 128 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) SICARIO 2: SOLDADO Taylor Sheridan is one of the best writers working in Hollywood today. His films like Hell or High Water and Wind River seem very different on the surface, but underneath it all they are brilliant modern takes on the Western. And, weirdly enough, the same was true of his first success as a screenwriter, 2015’s Sicario. A drug-war thriller about an FBI agent who goes down the blackops rabbit hole at the U.S.-Mexico border, it was marketed as an action film, but was about 100 times smarter and more relevant than the genre normally serves up. Now, Sheridan returns to pen the sequel, which sees the violence and dirty politics escalating to new levels at the border, as Mexican cartels begin smuggling terrorists into the U.S. Directed by Stefano Sollima. Starring Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin and Catherine Keener.

(R) 122 minutes. (SP) THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS This documentary presents an interesting question for film writers: since the story of these three identical twins who only found each other as teenagers, after being separated at birth, has been thoroughly written about for decades, can there really be spoilers about it? The director himself, Tim Wardle, has admitted he is struggling with this same issue in promoting the film. Personally, I think the best thing to do if you don’t know this story is to go into the movie without reading one single thing about the true story … and prepare to have your mind completely blown.

Trust me, you will not believe the twist in what was already a one-of-kind story. (PG-13) 96 minutes. (SP)

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 11-17, 2018

SKYSCRAPER In San Andreas, Dwayne “The Rock”Johnson had to fly a helicopter hundreds of miles to rescue his family after they were nearly killed by a massive earthquake.

In this movie, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has to ascend a burning skyscraper to rescue his family who are trapped at the top. I think the message is: Kids, do not let your mom marry Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, or you are toast. Not even one date! Get her the hell off Tinder!

You don’t want this flaming deathtrap of a parent swiping left into your life, believe me. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Co-starring Neve Campbell, Noah Taylor and McKenna Roberts. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP)

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU Bay Area hip-hop fans may be familiar with Boots Riley, the leader of the group the Coup, who makes his writer-director debut in this offbeat sci-fi comedy about a down-onhis-luck guy in alternate-universe Oakland whose fortunes change when he becomes a telemarketer and discovers his “white voice.” It’s even weirder and better than it sounds.

Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover and Patton Oswalt. (R) 105 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK

BEEF ENTHUSIAST Alderwood’s chef Jeffrey Wall has designs on choice meats at the downtown restaurant, which is set to open in October.

Alderwood transforming Erik’s Deli spot downtown; Storrs to unveil Corralitos winery BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

nfrastructure design at Alderwood—an upcoming outpost of “oysters, cocktails, and steaks”—is already well underway at 155 Walnut St. (former location of Erik’s Deli) in downtown Santa Cruz. At the helm as partner and chef is Jeffrey Wall who brings a resumé with him that includes Atlanta’s Kimball House and Denver’s Hearth & Dram. Three seating areas, including a bar and chef’s counter will showcase Wall’s fresh food stylings built upon a French culinary

background spun forward into a fresh California setting.

“I am a beef enthusiast,” Wall told me last week. “And California, as with nearly every ingredient, is home to excellent beef.” The cuisinartist has some sophisticated plans. “Alderwood will feature five to six types of beef, from ultra-lean grass-fed to the richest wagyu breed.” Wall, who was trained in French cooking techniques, plans to add “fresh fish and tons of local vegetables” to the menu focus on aged beef.

The restaurant-in-progress will fill several other niches in local cuisine.

For example, Wall plans to offer a dozen or more kinds of West Coast oysters at his in-house oyster bar.

“The most obvious gap for me is the fact that we will be open later than most other restaurants,” he reveals.

And that means that foodies can enjoy a meal after the movie or theater.

And Alderwood will be able to “offer great food and dining to the industry professionals of Santa Cruz.” Good news for those who don’t get off

work until closing time at most other restaurants.

“The primary goal for me is to write a truly expressive menu,” Wall says. “The true colors of the menu will always be expressed with the produce.” A savvy professional barely into his ’30s, Wall knows that however provocative one’s food philosophy may be, “philosophy alone will not yield a great restaurant. The average diner will not eat our food just because it was grown a certain way. It has to taste amazing, too.”

To that end, he is interested in organic produce because the results are invariably “more dynamic, delicious and explosive.” Same with locally grown items. “A peach grown and picked closer tastes better. It is less likely to be refrigerated. More likely to be ripe.” Wall chose Santa Cruz when the recent opportunity arose, but he’d been impressed with the Bay Area market scene since visiting seven years ago. “I quickly learned that Santa Cruz was home to some of the best farmers in the country— possibly the world.” Jeffrey Wall is also pretty convinced that Santa Cruz is a community that shares his love for “tasty and healthy food.” All the more reason to look forward to the October opening of Alderwood. I’ll be watching the development of this new restaurant, so stay tuned.

STORRS READIES CORRALITOS DEBUT

At long last the dust has settled and winemakers Pam and Steve Storrs can actually say the words “grand opening” about their LEED-certified estate winery and tasting room, ready to open next month at their Corralitos winery. “Early August,” promises Steve Storrs, who plans to have tasting hours at the gorgeous new winery building on Saturdays “and possibly Sundays too during the summer.” The familiar Sash Mill Storrs tasting room will stay open, but the winemakers hope that between the exciting new facility and the award-winning reputation of Storrs wines, even more winetasting action will aim toward South County.

“Corralitos is such a super spot,” he (needlessly) reminded me. Storrs, Windy Oaks, Alfaro— three outstanding reasons to visit the south side of the Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowing region.

ow that summer is here, it’s time to take a little break and maybe trade in a few vacation days, even if the plan is to stay in town. My staycation starter kit involves grilling everything in sight, keeping a beach bag in my car and always having something cold, boozy and refreshing on hand.

This summer, I’m taking inspiration from Westside craft distiller Venus Spirits, where Sean Venus has created a seasonal spirit that will help get you into the spirit of the season—a gin with tikiinspired botanicals. Gin X Summer follows the inaugural release of Gin X Spring, and is the second in an ongoing experiment (that’s what the ‘X’ stands for) by Venus to play with new recipes. Distinctly different from his award-winning Gin 01 and Gin 02, the summer release boasts serious island vibes with aromas of pineapple, lime, passionfruit, and almond that hums with warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.

Exceptionally light and clean, it’s lovely poured on its own over a single huge ice cube, perhaps with a splash of good tonic, but also really shines in a cocktail.

In his tasting room off of Swift Street, Venus shook up 1.5 ounces of Gin X Summer with .75 ounces of pineapple juice and .5 ounces of lime juice, poured it over ice and topped with ginger beer to create a tropical libation that almost begged for an umbrella, or at least to be sipped under one.

Gin X Summer was released to Venus Spirits’ Spirit Club at the end of June and will be available only at their tasting room until the 40-ish cases are gone. Gin X Spring sold out a few weeks ago, so there’s a good chance the Summer release will be gone before autumn, at which time we will have another seasonal shift to look forward to.

kov Winery was closed for a period while owners Annette and David Hunt attended to various business interests and family matters, but now they are back in action–and their tasting room is open every Saturday. Skov is situated in a picturesque setting among the redwoods a couple of miles down bucolic Bean Creek Road in Scotts Valley, and it’s well worth a visit.

I attended an event recently in the winery’s spacious party room, a perfect spot to hold family gatherings, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and more. It was also an opportunity to try some of their wines—and I loved the Skov Winery 2014 Pinot Noir ($28) Russian River Valley, a voluptuous mouthful of inky purple nectar filled with red fruits and earthy flavors that would delight any picky Pinot-phile.

Skov also makes Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.

Skov is participating in Taste of Scotts Valley on July 12 at Kiss Café in Scotts Valley, the kickoff party to the main Scotts Valley Art, Wine & Beer Festival in August. Visit svartfestival.com for more info.

ISOLATION TURNS TO UNITY

Thursday, a complex day, includes an evening new moon solar eclipse (21 degrees Cancer).

Solar (sun) eclipses tell us something essential in our lives has come to an end; it’s work complete. Our Earth this month is bathed in the Light of Cancer. It is the “light within form” awaiting the Light of the Soul. The “dark light of matter awaiting the Light from the Soul.”

Humanity and all Earth’s kingdoms live within the “dark light of matter.” Our physical bodies are made of this “intelligent substance, awaiting the Light of the Soul.”

The Cherubim are the angels of Cancer.

They surround mothers at birth and small children everywhere. At new and full moon times, light from Rays 3 & 5 (two stars from the Big Dipper), the Cherubim and Cancer all stream into the New Group of World Servers,

who radiate this light to humanity, the Earth and her kingdoms.

Two keynotes are sounded. “Let isolation rule, yet the crowd exists.” This is the personality-building keynote. Eventually, without the light of the Soul, we can feel imprisoned, unable to connect with anyone or anything. It is at this time when the personality reaches out in despair, asking for help. And this awakens the Soul, and the Soul appears, with loving light that unifies, illumines and guides the personality. The Soul tells the personality “I will build a lighted house (within you), and dwell therein.” Then the isolation turns to unity.

We become the Light of the world (like the Christ). We are then able to provide unlimited nourishment to all forms and creatures of life.

Our tasks in Cancer.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Uranus is your awakener. A great shift in perception begins as you seek more freedom of expression.

However, first you’ll feel you cannot speak your mind, because a new awakening is occurring internally, in your consciousness. You’ll wonder if you must leave all that you love behind. It’s a risk to help create a new world.

You, however, have the tools and courage. Rest a while so you can hear the call when it comes.

Everyone and everything may feel unpredictable.

You may change your view of relationships and feel you cannot rely on others for things you hope and expect. There could be a sense of limitation, creating a challenge to break free. You or your partner may become rebellious, and act in surprising ways. Sometimes you’re on your own. It redefines you. Reach out. Love more.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 11, 2018

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You’ll find that events in your surroundings and environments are rushing you forward into the future.

You’ll also realize certain elements of your life are no longer available. All things from the past either fall away or become useful in creating the future. Calling upon great spiritual resources, you single-handedly construct the new curriculum needed for humanity’s survival and education.

You’ve been pondering this for years. It’s now time.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 There may be need at some time for a change in environments, work, friends, groups and your entire social circle. You may require a new life, new ideas and studies that apply the astrological and esoteric to your daily life. Change will be needed for life to make sense. This will be a new path to be taken, new rules and guidelines. Anything and anyone limiting your steps forward cannot accompany you. Pack lightly.

JULY 11-17, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

56

Following orders seems difficult, and you will resist anyone with authority. This is good sometimes, and not so good other times. You’ll learn to discern and discriminate whom to trust. Attempt to observe yourself more directly. Notice how creative you are. People look to you for information continually emerging from your experiments. In the world, you are seen as a bit unusual to radical. Interesting!

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Will you be traveling soon? If so know that interesting and unusual events may occur, you’ll encounter new ways of thinking, creating expansive, open-minded, utopian thoughts on community. Traditions fall away, and gradually you become unconventional, adapting ways of being that comfort you. Education, travel, study, religion, mountaineering, philosophy, politics, justice.

Which attract you?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Shared resources, taxes, loans, insurance, and/or values (also shared with another close to you) may tilt sideways and be shaken up in your life. This creates the need to rebalance, choosing your own values and finding your own money to pursue what’s most important. You’ll ponder deeply before venturing forth into uncharted territory and unusual relationships. Have fun, though.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Everything in daily life and work may feel like their being taken apart and shaken up. You feel the need to loosen yourself from previous ways of thinking, beliefs, and relating. You also need to tend to health. The years ahead will be influenced by what you think and do now. Disruptions can be looked upon as reasons to create a new rhythm.

Bring forth your deep inventive nature. It will save you.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Don’t be surprised should you experience sudden changes in ideas leading to creativity. Don’t be surprised if you’re attracted to a totally different type of person, place or way of life. Don’t be surprised if you work really hard at loosening any obstructions and inhibitions and they fly away like a flock of blackbirds. You want to become different, become eccentric, playful, more childlike, more romantic. Over time, you do.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Observe your home life. Are changes and subtle fluctuations taking place? Perhaps within you? Realize that routines may shift, decision-making becomes deeper and more internal. You don’t want anything unusual or hasty to be re-arranged because that would create distractions. You will try new things, create new traditions.

But you must also take the time for long restful sleep. It nourishes you so you can nourish others (more).

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You may find yourself easily wearied and things traditional and/or habitual not useful. You seek new realities, new studies, unusual fields of endeavors and concepts. You’re highly creative when speaking and writing. Usual routines begin to break away so a new selfexpression can take hold. Visualize all needed changes.

This creates outer changes. A new environment, neighborhood expands you. Maintain your freedoms.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Convert extra money to silver and/or gold. Invest in land, food and essential things needed that sustain the many. Your values are changing and will continue to change. Income may fluctuate, outlay must be practical.

All possessions no longer useful quietly disappear. Do not lament this reality. New, better, greater ones appear. Social life, groups and contacts change, too. It’s for the good, the better and the best. Stay poised, patient and cultivate hope, courage, patience and joy. The Disciple’s virtues.

Meet Sam • 29 years old • Baker • Backpacker • Adventure Seeker • Cannabis user “When I’m backpacking in the Sierras, pack weight is always a concern. To save weight and space I bring my favorite strain of cannabis instead of alcohol. I find it enhances my journey and connects me to nature.”

MARY FORSTER, 30-Year Customer, Capitola Occupation: Retired educator; Executive director,Your Future is Our Business Hobbies: Running & half-marathons, biking, grandchildren, cooking Astrological Sign: Pisces LES FORSTER 60-Year Customer, Capitola Occupation: Retired educator; County of Education Hobbies: The outdoors, walking along the ocean, grandchildren, being with Mary, cooking/barbecuing Astrological Sign: Cancer

Who or what first got you shopping here? MARY: “My first time at Shopper’s I entered from the back as I was delivering meat from a family-owned local meat supplier. Eventually I became a customer and started entering through the front door.” LES:“I grew up in the Seabright area.We never owned a car; we either walked or a took a bus to Shopper’s.The staff was as friendly then as they are now.” MARY:“We’ve always preferred shopping local because Shopper’s is such a personal experience. I think it’s what we all crave.We want to see faces that we know who will look us in the eye when we have questions.” LES:“I enjoy seeing former students here.”

Working here? LES:“Yes. For many this is their first job.

It’s shows Shopper’s commitment… One of my former students is in training to become a butcher. Local on-site ownership makes a big difference.” MARY:“I agree.You see it in the care and attention and variety in deciding which products will line their shelves. Every item I want from Shopper’s is of the highest quality.” LES:“I like the narrower aisles, it forces you to have human interaction.

Shopper’s has survived all these years with all of its competitors for a reason.” MARY:“You feel acknowledged here.The butchers are happy to see you and the smiling checkers are friendly and good with kids.”

What do you folks like to cook? LES:“Shopper’s marinated meats and chicken are big hits. I love experimenting with breakfast and scrambled eggs (Glaum) and all kinds of local produce.” MARY:“He’s a master egg cook! I like to experiment too. I get inspired by magazine articles and what is seasonal and fresh. Recently I’ve made tamale pie and zucchini cheese casseroles — in large quantities — with lots of Shopper’s organic veggies.” LES:“I need to mention that I always see someone here that I know. It’s like home to me.” MARY: It’s community.And it feeds my soul. If I need a little boost, I will come to Shopper’s. I always feel better when walking out the door.”

“This is community — it feeds my soul. If I need a little boost, I will come to Shopper’s and always feel better when walking out the door.”
