LOCAL TALK Should Pacific Avenue be a one-way street, two-way street, or pedestrian only?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

I would definitely support closing off Pacific Mall to cars. I think that would be wonderful.

JIM GREY

SANTA CRUZ | BUILDER

If they change it, it will probably be more confusing for the locals, and we like it the way it is.

PATRICK CASTRO

SCOTTS VALLEY | HOSPITALITY

I think it should be a two-way, because that gets people in and out. As far as pedestrians … they’re going to have to deal with the traffic.

YESINIA RAYA

SANTA CRUZ | CAREGIVER

CELINE MIRANDA

SANTA CRUZ | STUDENT

I would support making Pacific Avenue pedestrian only, because it’s a wonderful way of supporting community. It’s better for the business community by bringing people into the street.

PETER BECKMANN SANTA CRUZ | BAKER

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY13-19, 2015

I wouldn’t change it to two-way traffic because that could lead to a lot more of a mess … there’s going to be a really rough adjustment period.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The danger of resisting a temptation too strenuously is that the temptation might depart. I suggest that you prevent that from happening. Without throwing yourself at the mercy of the temptation, see if you can coax it to stick around for a while longer. Why? In my view, it's playing a useful role in your life. It's motivating you to change some things that really do need to be changed.

On the other hand, I'm not yet sure that it should become anything more than a temptation. It might serve you best that way, not as an object of your satisfied desire.

I suspect you are about to experience some prime contenders for The Most Unusual Adventures of 2015. Are you thoroughly prepared? Of course not. There's no way you can be totally ready to adapt to unpredictable wrinkles and change your mind at a moment's notice. But that's exactly what will make these experiments so fun. That's why they will be effective in building up your resilience and willpower. For best results, apply your nighttime thinking to daytime activities, and vice versa. Spend minimal time on responsibilities that don't teach you noble truths about your fellow madmen and madwomen. Now here's my big question: How can you tap into the extra power you will need during your rite of passage?

TAURUS Apr20–May20 My astrological colleagues discourage me from talking to you Bulls about financial matters. "Most Tauruses know 10 times more about the mystery of money than you will ever know," said one. "Their excellent instincts trump any tips you could offer." Another astrologer concurred, noting, "The financial advice you give Tauruses will at best be redundant and at worst simplistic." A third colleague summed it up: "Offering Tauruses guidance about money is like counseling Scorpios about sex." So although I'm shy about providing recommendations, I will say this: The next five weeks will be a favorable time to set in motion the plans to GET RICHER QUICKER!

GEMINI May21–June20 "Endings to be useful must be inconclusive," wrote science fiction novelist Samuel R. Delany. I endorse that theory for your use in the coming weeks. Interweave it with this advice from playwright Sam Shepard: "The temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. Why not be more honest with the moment? The most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning." In other words, Gemini, don't be attached to neat finales and splashy climaxes. Consider the possibility that you can simply slip free of the complicated past and head toward the future without much fanfare.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 In mythic terms, you should be headed for the winner's circle, which is inside the pleasure dome. The parade in your honor should follow the award ceremony, and let's hope you will be on the lead float wearing a gold crown and holding a real magic wand while being sung to by a choir of people you love and who love you. If for any reason you are not experiencing some version of these metaphors, I urge you to find out why. Or better yet, get busy on planning a homecoming or graduation party or award ceremony for yourself. From an astrological perspective, you have a mandate to be recognized and appreciated for the gifts you offer the world.

MAY 13-19, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

British Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley was a brilliant military commander. Renowned for his ability to beat larger armies, he also had great skill at minimizing loss of life among his own troops. His most famous triumph took place in 1815, when he led the forces that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo. In the aftermath, the French tyrant lost his power and went into exile. What was the secret of Wellesley's success? "Bonaparte's plans were made in wire," he said. "Mine were made in string." In other words, Wellesley's strategy was more flexible and adaptable. As circumstances changed, it could be rearranged with greater ease. That's the approach I recommend for you in the coming days.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Many modern astronomers are allergic to astrology, but from my perspective there is no inherent conflict between the two fields. Four of history's greatest astronomers were practicing astrologers, after all: Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe, and Pierre Gassendi. One of my friends in college, a Scorpio woman named Martha Maiden, is a first-rate astrologer who got a degree in astronomy and became a top scientist at NASA. In the spirit of finding reconciliation between apparent opposites, I'm happy to say that you are now a virtual virtuoso in your ability to reconcile both apparent opposites and actual opposites. I invite you to use this aptitude with flair and daring.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sagittarian Matt Stutzman competes in the sport of archery. He's the world's record holder for longest accurate shot, having hit a target 230 yards away. What makes his accomplishment so extraordinary is the fact that he was born without any arms. He holds each arrow in his mouth and grasps the bow with his right foot and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit of this armless archer, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I invite you to initiate an attempt to triumph over one of your so-called disadvantages.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Long before Lou Reed recorded the song "Walk on the Wild Side," Nelson Algren wrote a novel titled A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts the luxuriant depravity of New Orleans' French Quarter in the 1930s. One of Algren's most enduring bits of spiritual advice goes as follows: "Never, ever, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own." What do you think of that, Capricorn?

Even if you don't regard it as a universal rule that you should unfailingly obey, I suggest you observe it in the coming weeks. For the sake of your mental hygiene, be extra discerning about what influences you absorb—not just in bed, but everywhere.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 The cosmos has authorized you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel free to respond to your enhanced hunger with an extra aggressive quest to be fed. Therefore: Be voracious! Risk being avid, ardent, and even agog. Fill yourself up with pudding, pleasure, praise, peace, perks, and privileges. Anything else you'd like to engorge? If some unenlightened person questions your right to claim the biggest piece and the sweetest taste and the best fuel, inform them that your astrologer says you have ultimate permission.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

You may not be strong enough to take a shot at a daunting challenge that's five levels beyond your previous best. But I think you are at least ready to try a tricky challenge that's one level higher than where you have been operating. And that, in my opinion, is a more practical use of your courage. I think it would be a waste of your energy to get wrapped up in grandiose fantasies about impossible perfections. As long as you don't overreach, you can accomplish small miracles.

Is there an interesting ally whose path rarely crosses yours?

Do you draw inspiration from a like-minded dynamo who is not fully available? Has fate kept you and a friend from getting as close as you would wish? According to my reading of the astrological omens, relationships like these could become more substantial in the coming weeks. The dream of a more robust connection could ripen into an opportunity to actually collaborate. So be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do what's necessary to go deeper.

NEWS UNLIVING WAGES Santa Cruz preschool workers, who make less than store clerks, want a raise

MAY 13-19, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY KEN BURSON

10

Santa Cruz child care workers are paid wages so low that some live in boats and trailer parks because they can’t afford to rent a house or apartment. Some don’t have cars and struggle to buy groceries in an area where rents are 71 percent above the national average.

Many of these workers are coming out to support the “Fight for $15” movement, which started in 2012 in New York with a walkout by fast-food workers, and kickstarted a grassroots effort to increase the minimum wage.

“I think it’s terrible,” says State Assemblyman Mark Stone of child care wages. “Instead of being seen as glorified babysitting, we should see child care as part of our obligation to educate our children.”

Sandy Davie, director of the Santa Cruz Toddler Center, has asked the city and county to up their support of the center by $45,000. She would then raise all of her staff to a minimum of $15 per hour with the funds. The city and county will consider her requests in June.

One of the top early education educators in the county, Eric Hoffman, says he doesn’t know how his graduates live on their wages. Hoffman has taught early childhood education at Cabrillo College for 30 years, sending hundreds of teachers into the workforce.

“For a long time, there’s been the sense that child care, that’s what you do with a babysitter,” says Hoffman.

Many child care workers in Santa Cruz County are paid barely more than $9.

Store clerks averaged $14.35 an hour in 2014, while child care workers averaged $12.81, and preschool teachers got $14.19, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Low wages drive about 46 percent of child care workers to depend on subsidies such as welfare and food stamps—up to $2.4 billion per year, according to a UC Berkeley study.

What this means, Hoffman says, is that some of the most important people in a child’s formative years are woefully underpaid.

The End of WAMM?

The state’s oldest marijuana collective survived federal raids and arrests. Can it survive divorce? BY BRAD KAVA

I

n the midst of a veritable “marijuana gold rush,” the oldest marijuana collective in the U.S.—based in Santa Cruz— may be closing its doors and losing the 106-acre field that has saved terminally ill patients from immense pain and suffering.

WAMM, short for the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana, started serving Santa Cruz clients in 1993, when the idea of legalized pot was barely a fantasy. The collective has survived two raids—one by local police, who dropped charges, and one by the DEA, which WAMM sued and won. Now, though, they face an entirely different challenge: divorce.

Valerie Leveroni Corral, 62, and her husband Mike Corral, saw their friends dying in the middle of the AIDS epidemic and thought that used

medically, marijuana could provide the comfort and healing patients needed in the face of harsh medical treatments that sapped their appetites and left their bodies writhing in pain.

The couple started growing marijuana illegally in the 1970s after Valerie found that it helped her with epileptic seizures, and then they took advantage of a loosening of state laws allowing medical cannabis and set up a garden and collective.

Unlike the marijuana stores that have been growing like weeds around the state and making owners millionaires in Colorado and Washington, WAMM was never about the money. Marijuana wasn’t bought and sold here. It was given in return for donations, and many of the 600-800 regular patients paid their way by gardening and

processing the crops for others.

“I can’t tell you how many people have come in and said ‘I’m going to make you rich,’” says Valerie Corral, the fiery 5-foot Italian sparkplug who was born in San Francisco and runs through the collective with the energy of a bullet train. “I’m very much insistent that WAMM remains true to our mission of service. Just because the industry can supply cannabis legally, it doesn’t mean it’s more available for people who are seriously ill and financially compromised, as well as physically compromised.”

She says legalization doesn’t necessarily help the 85 percent of her patients who have terminal and severe illnesses.

“We’re just trying to get enough funds to help people who are sick and dying,” she says. The group >13

NEWS THE END OF WAMM? <10 also runs a hospice.

Now, WAMM could lose everything in the divorce from her husband of 40 years.

“A divorce changes everything,” says Corral. “Mike’s moved on. He’s not working with WAMM anymore. I don’t have the money to buy him out and WAMM can’t just stay there.”

She’s asking the locals who helped her fight off DEA teams to help her keep the property. The has group launched a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo.com, hoping to raise $150,000 to keep the farm and grow house.

To continue as a nonprofit, she says she has to come up with the funds, based on an appraisal, to pay exactly what the land is worth. Their site is in a lush, green location on the North Coast. They also have an office at 815 Almar Ave., on the Westside, where clients can get counseling and medical support and advice.

Members are worried about the future and hope the community will support the fundraising.

“WAMM has been an essential part of Santa Cruz’s healthcare system and an integral part of the community

for over 20 years,” says author David Jay Brown. “As a WAMM member since 1995, I’ve personally witnessed how medical marijuana from the community-run WAMM garden can help save people’s lives and greatly reduce suffering—as this valuable medicine would otherwise be too expensive for many of the low-income patients that WAMM serves.”

Valerie has helped more than 150 people pass into the next phase of life and says watching people die has helped her commitment to help others.

“We deal with people who are facing death, losing homes, losing cars,” she says. “By the time the average cancer patient dies, it costs $250,000, especially with treatment.

You pay 20 percent of that if you have good insurance. The costs are huge.

Huge! And you don’t pay at the end.

You pay all along.”

She’s worried about losing her life’s work and what it has given to so many.

“We’re in the 11th hour hoping the value of people’s lives and the way we’ve been in service to a community that’s made hundreds of millions of dollars has an impact in the interest of human health and human kindness,” she says. “We can’t disregard the origin of this work. We called this the

‘Compassionate Use Act.’’’ The Corrals’ were arrested by local officials in 1992 and by a federal DEA task force in 2002, but not charged in either case. Officials feared no jury would convict them.

To protest the second arrest and send the feds a message, the mayor and members of the City Council permitted the collective to distribute marijuana outside City Hall, an event that made national news.

DEA agents had chainsawed 167 plants, and were forced by WAMM members, who blocked their U-Hauls at the farm gate, to surrender the Corrals from their custody. Then the City and County of Santa Cruz filed suit against the feds, claiming the federal government under President George W. Bush was denying the rights of patients and using the case for publicity. Some 15 of the collective’s patients died while the plants were gone.

The collective won the suit and has been growing the federally illegal medicinal herb ever since.

"When the DEA raided WAMM, held Valerie, Mike and others at gunpoint, and threatened them with life in prison, the federal government basically thought they could >17

New Leaf Community Markets shoppers might be shocked to learn that one of the company’s board members sponsored a $12,500-a-plate benefit for Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.

Stephen Babson, a Republican who put on the dinner to raise money for Bush’s Right to Rise super-PAC, is on the board of directors of New Seasons Market, which bought the local New Leaf chain from Santa Cruz liberal Democrat Scott Roseman. Babson’s employer Endeavour Capital became the major investor in the chain in 2009 and has guided its rapid growth.

Bush is the last green you might expect at New Leaf. The brother of former President George W. Bush has come out against the federal minimum wage. But it’s not a surprise to former owner Roseman, who is also on the board. He describes Babson as a liberal-leaning Republican, who might be considered a Democrat in some places.

“The fact that one individual in the organization has different political views than most of us, including me, does not mean that we have suddenly become a tool of the Koch brothers,” says Roseman. “But, more importantly, New Leaf’s values, as well as New Seasons’, have not changed.

NOT JUST PLAYING AROUND Cabrillo early education teacher Eric Hoffman writes books and builds playgrounds

One of them, Jessica Alaimo, works 40 hours a week as a teacher at Santa Cruz Toddler Center in Live Oak. Her pay is less than $15 an hour “by a decent margin,” she says.

“Rent, PG&E, phone and Internet, [excluding] food—my take-home pay is about 76 percent of those costs,” she says.

To make ends meet, Alaimo gets by without a car and works five to seven hours in other child care work each week.

She also sells jewelry, and her 18-year-old daughter contributes a bit.

Parents are already paying a small fortune for daycare and preschool. In Santa Cruz, it costs $8,593 a year for full-time preschool care in a licensed home and

$9,376 for infants, according to 2012 data from the state Department of Education.

Hoffman says one way to increase pay might be to include California preschool 4-year-olds in the public school system— something they do in Oklahoma, New York and New Jersey.

Stone, the assemblyman who represents Santa Cruz, wants public education to include 4-year-olds, but he doesn’t see support from state leaders.

“That is something the governor just does not understand,” says Stone. “He sees the child care need really as just warehousing.”

Fran Kipnis of UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Child Care Employment says expanding the years of public schooling could help.

“The K-12 system is publicly supported;

parents could never pay [fully] for the education of their children,” says Kipnis.

“We need the same type of public support for preschool.”

While the pay is tight, Hoffman says the rewards have been rich for him. He came to early childhood education 45 years ago while studying for an architecture degree at MIT. As part of the program, he volunteered in local schools. He tried high school, junior high school and elementary school, and each left him unfulfilled. Then while volunteering at preschools, he found his niche.

Hoffman has designed school playgrounds and written children’s books.

His newest, “A Dark, Dark Cave,” has been picked up by Viking/Penguin. He’s also

created children’s toys and puzzles that he sells locally during the Open Studios Art Tours and elsewhere.

Hoffman fondly recalls a boy who some parents did not want in a preschool because he was “bossy.” The director let him stay and Hoffman worked with him.

Whenever the boy demanded something, Hoffman would say, “I’m pleased to help you.” The boy got the idea and started saying “please.”

Near the end of the school year, the boy asked Hoffman to help him put his shoes on. When Hoffman said “sure,” the boy screamed “NO!” Leaning against him, the boy said, “I didn’t say please.”

The boy’s mom cried, and several parents apologized to Hoffman for their earlier complaints.

eliminate the most compliant, compassionate, effective and selfless medical marijuana organization in the country, and the medical marijuana movement would fold or go back underground,” says journalist David Bienenstock, a former High Times editor who now works for Vice.

“Instead, WAMM and the Santa Cruz community stood up to those terribly misguided bullies, and everything changed as a result. I think it's safe to say that literally millions of people have benefited from this brave stand, not just directly by becoming WAMM members, but because the truth about medical marijuana has finally come out, and now we see this movement spreading to even the most conservative communities in California and around the world."

A $5 donation to WAMM’s campaign gets a thank you note. Donate $100 and you get a T-shirt; raise it to $420 and you get a marijuana leaf plate made by artist Don Ivey, a member whose partial paralysis is helped by the plant. A $1,500 donation includes a tour of the gardens and a meal with “Nonna Marijuana, the Queen of Weed Cuisine,” Valerie’s 93-year-old mother, who is famous for posting recipes on the Internet. That donation, available only to patients, includes rooms at the Davenport Roadhouse and a shuttle to the farm. Eight guests can do the tour and meal.

Brown says the loss of WAMM would be an incredible blow to the community. “People would die without WAMM and others would needlessly suffer. WAMM’s compassionate model sets the gold standard for medical cannabis collectives, as no one in the organization goes without medicine and every member contributes to making WAMM what it is,” he says. “WAMM owes its hard-earned existence to the brave and heroic work of Valerie and Mike Corral, and to the high spirits of its members. Despite the many serious ailments that WAMM members suffer from, there is always a strong feeling of hope and optimism at the weekly meetings—and this supportive community spirit is every bit as healing as the medicinal herb.”

How crazy is her life? On Wednesday, when she accepts her Nextie, she is also catering the event for 225 people.

“I think it’s cool that I was asked to cater it before I won,” she says. “They gave me a chance to back out, but this is what I do—I serve people food.”

Mollenauer considers the Food Lounge a daily party because she and other chefs cook for each other and exchange ideas. She does little marketing, except for posting events on her Santa Cruz Food Lounge page on Facebook.

She says the Lounge is a difficult concept for some people to understand because it’s different every night, but it’s also attracting regulars.

Mollenauer never wanted a restaurant; she was happy owning a kitchen and renting it to people while teaching others. But she considers the Food Lounge to be a place for events, arts, live music.

“There’s no walk-by traffic, but I think if you give people good food and dynamic events, they will show up.” BRAD KAVA

verywhere Paul De Worken goes, he sees blank walls. “But I don’t see a wall. I see a blank canvas just waiting for artwork,” says De Worken, who founded Monterey Bay Murals (MBM) in 2008 with his friend Jaime Sanchez.

Since its inception, MBM, which De Worken now runs solo, has orchestrated some 20 murals from Santa Cruz down to Monterey, with community members—and really, anybody lucky enough to walk by during the painting process— invited to take part, even if they’ve never picked up a paintbrush before. “One important thing I’ve experienced is all of these friendships that I’ve made. I always invite people to participate, and when they do they just have a blast.

In the end you have this brother or sisterhood of artists that come out,” says De Worken.

The Watsonville native says that beautifying the town he loves benefits the whole community and counteracts urban blight. “When people come up to me and say ‘You’ve enhanced my commute to work,’ or ‘I purposely take this route now so that

I can look at this beautiful painting,’ that really inspires me,” says De Worken. “It’s instant to the public.

It’s like they own it, they have a relationship with it.”

A couple of years ago, De Worken, Sanchez, Martin Garcia and members of the Watsonville community decided to tackle local alleyways with the Monterey Alleyway Project (MAP). They painted huge California poppies on a heavily graffitied wall between Sudden and Jefferson streets. “The whole thinking behind that was to get into the alleyways and bring art to people who wouldn’t normally see it, making art accessible,” says De Worken. To this day, the mural has not been re-tagged with graffiti—a positive sign that the community respects and appreciates the art.

“The cool part was that the same day we finished, while we were packing up, there were children already playing in front of it and looking at it, and people were coming out thanking us and offering us food. It’s a really good feeling when that happens,” he says.

ou get your first job, and then realize you have no idea how to file your taxes.

You blow a tire on Highway 17 and haven’t a clue how to change it.

You try to make your first pot of pasta and boiling water floods the kitchen floor.

These are situations that everyone faces when they make that critical leap into “the real world,” and teaching kids to handle them is what Monica Karst’s Sprouting Hope Project is all about.

Still in its fledgling phase, Sprouting Hope will offer a mix of mentoring and skills-building to teach teenage girls what they aren’t taught in schools, says Karst. Building on Karst’s other brainchild, Santa Cruz Socialites—a networking and support website for women—the community has already stepped up, says Karst.

“Everyone is willing to join forces so that we can create the next leaders of Santa Cruz—to empower them and have them know that just because they’re girls doesn’t mean that they can’t do whatever they want to,” says Karst.

Local businesswomen have

already begun mentoring, says Karst, and classes will teach everything from balancing a budget and changing a car tire to social media presentation and cooking.

Karst is the type of woman who does everything at once; during the day she works for Scotts Valleybased Catbird, and at night she works on building Santa Cruz Socialites and Sprouting Hope—ideas that burgeoned around the same time.

Back in 2011, Karst was facing the realities of owning a small business—handling everything from bookkeeping to janitorial duties.

Her downtown storefront, Baby Shoppe Santa Cruz, was struggling and she found herself in the middle of a divorce; she worried her three teenage daughters would fall through the cracks. Karst knew that other women were in similar situations, so she decided to create one place to find all the answers: Santa Cruz Socialites.

“I realized I needed support, not competition—which we usually do as women,” says Karst. “I thought: We need a network of women to watch over our girls and to teach them.”

COFFEE ZOMBIE COLLECTIVE

learning songs on the ukulele after his daughter was born. He then roped his wife and friends into what ended up as a rootsy seven-piece ensemble.

Coffee Zombie Collective are known for their weird twists on covers, like turning Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” into a ska song, or adding call-and-response to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” And their mutant versions spin off even further in their live shows.

“Right now I’m trying to shoehorn the theme from Fresh Prince of Bel Air into the end of ‘Don’t Stop Believing,’” says Lieby.

The group was surprised and thrilled to win a Nextie; Lieby says they’ve been stunned at the way their quirky vision has been accepted in the local music scene. “We’re all completely mystified. We did it expecting nothing,” he says.

But they have worked hard to support Santa Cruz’s quirkiness, too, playing at all kinds of local events.

“The Kale Festival asked us to play.

It was like ‘Yeah!’ Rock Scissors Paper Tournament? ‘We’ll play that!’” says Lieby. “I want this band to be part of Santa Cruz. We’re straight outta Live Oak.” STEVE PALOPOLI

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 13-19, 2015

here’s a video on YouTube from about 15 years ago of a band called the Real Jimmies, four young guys who used to busk on Pacific Avenue. One of them grew up to be Nate Lieby, the lead singer of Santa Cruz’s freakishly inventive cover band Coffee Zombie Collective.

The video is a portrait of the artist as a young crazy man: while the acoustic rock quartet plays Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So,” Lieby wails on a stand-up drum kit, dances, and occasionally blows a kazoo in between singing and interacting with passersby at the corner of Pacific and Cooper.

“I had to find a way to get up in people’s faces,” Lieby says.

He’s still getting in their faces—and still covering Weezer, actually, via the monster medley CZC has built around “Come Undone” (aka “The Sweater Song”) that they call “The Sweadley.”

Lieby’s put a lot of time into Santa Cruz bands that did original songs over the years—the Sneaky Creekans, 300 lbs.—but in the last five years he’s returned to covers, and it’s sort of like the Real Jimmies days all over again.

Only a lot weirder.

became an online surf shop and wholesaler with occasional “pop up shops” around California in December 2014 with the help of David Dennis. Dennis manages the sales, marketing and surf supply for Ventana.

Stiphout takes about three to four weeks to make a board, and he can work on up to two in one month.

Working on more than two boards at once is overwhelming, he says.

Ventana has various recycling partnerships set up around Santa Cruz; the Santa Cruz Guitar Company and Soquel Vineyards both give wood scraps to Stiphout.

Each board is made with fiberglass cloth and bio resin, which is 75 percent tree sap based.

While each board is visually different, Stiphout has used materials such as abalone pieces, stone, shells, jade, driftwood and historical metal on his boards to create a one-of-a-kind look.

“The most sustainable material I’ve found is redwood,” Stiphout said. “Most of my boards have redwood, but if not, it is always reclaimed wood.” AMANDA EDWARDS

o most Santa Cruz residents, a pile of old wood on the side of the road is just trash.

To Martijn Stiphout, founder of Ventana Surfboards and Supplies, it represents endless possibilities.

Reclaimed wood is readily available, and in Santa Cruz where redwood and old wood is so prolific, people throw it away every day.

“It breaks my heart that a tree once living can just be thrown away after a couple of years,” Stiphout says.

The idea for Ventana came about when Stiphout was out catching some waves on his foam surfboard and it snapped in half. It was then that he realized how often it must happen, and he wondered what he could do to prevent that.

“When my foam board broke, I figured I could make one out of wood for cheaper,” Stiphout says.

According to Stiphout, wooden boards aren’t just more durable; they are much better for the environment. Foam boards are made of polyurethane, which creates a carbon impact and is full of toxins.

“Throughout high school I found stress to be a common thing that everyone has, so I wanted to create a device that would basically help with biofeedback—help reduce stress and balance someone’s life to make them more relaxed in situations,” Laschkewitsch says.

She grew up with parents in the nonprofit industry, and credits her entrepreneurial aspirations to them.

A small portion of her speech was devoted to her business, but most of it was about her philosophies on how to create the right headspace to be an entrepreneur.

“I think failure is great. If you are failing, then you are on the path to success. I know that sounds weird, but you learn from failing,” Laschkewitsch says. “In 10 years, I would like to see my company hit the news and really start to change lives. My real main goal is to see people walking on the street, and I want to see them using my products.” AARON CARNES

he first time Courtney Laschkewitsch recalls wanting to be an entrepreneur, she was 4. By 6 years old, she’d gotten into the habit of ripping up pieces of paper so she could fold and tape them together to create prototypes of her product ideas, which were usually tables, chairs, desks, and kitchen appliances.

Now 18, she’s the first recipient of a Nextie in the teen category (ages 18 and under) for her inspirational speech on the entrepreneurial spirit, given as part of Event Santa Cruz.

“I always thought that the greatest thing I can do is to create something out of nothing,” says Laschkewitsch.

“I think the best I can offer people is my ideas and to create products and services that benefit others.”

She is currently studying business at Cabrillo College, and is in the early stages of starting her own company, which will be in the smart watch industry. It’s something she hopes

<32 evolution of the human desire to know. But this is no dry treatise on the history of intellectual theory, or a whirlwind trip through its greatest hits. It’s a spirited survey of the scientific mileposts that have marked our way since the beginning, as well as an epic tale of curiosity and courage—not bad for 350 pages.

How did we go from thoughts of standing upright, killing dinner, lighting fires, and seeking shelter to comprehending the inner workings of the distant sun, as well as our own DNA? The journey is embedded in our uniquely human capacity for wonder.

Mlodinow explores our questioning nature in building blocks that take shape as far back as archeology allows, and expand through the lives and minds of great scientific thinkers, but he never loses sight of the larger landscape. “The greatest triumphs of human intellectual history—writing and mathematics, natural philosophy, and the various sciences—are usually presented in isolation,” he writes, “as if each has nothing to do with the others. But that approach emphasizes the trees and not the forest.”

He makes no such mistake, noting instead the rich soil that binds ideas to circumstance, individuals to communities, and the world we see to the world we don’t. Along the way, he marvels at everything from lizard brains to libraries, and acknowledges the human failings of colossal icons like Galileo and Newton.

Long fascinated by the vagaries of chance (he wrote about it at length in “The Drunkard’s Walk”), Mlodinow points out that the development of human

understanding has been anything but linear. Chance has intruded all along, for better and for worse— Paleolithic humans were once reduced to mere thousands, and Charles Darwin almost didn’t get the job on the famed ship the Beagle, where he formulated his theory of evolution. “Science teaches us a lot about the order of the universe,” says Mlodinow, “but it also teaches us that, despite our best efforts, it is the small chance occurrences that often count the most.”

Within the big picture, he writes poignantly about the role chance has played in his own life, through his parents, who survived the Holocaust separately and met in New York.

He maintains a deep admiration for his seventh-grade-educated father, who lost his first wife and child in the Nazi camps, fought in the Jewish Underground, and never fully understood the complexities of his son’s vocation but took comfort in the knowledge that we are made of “the same stuff as the perfect and romantic stars.”

When asked how being a scientist has influenced his character, Mlodinow says, “Having the scientific knowledge of where the universe came from and who people are helps you to appreciate who you are, who we are as human beings, and how we should act.”

Indeed, and in lighting our path to such knowledge, he reminds us that scientific inquiry begins with the oldest human question of all—and it’s only one word: Why? Info: 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 14, Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

Stripe Design Group’s Suna Lock and Dana Rader keep it timeless and classic BY CHRISTINA WATERS

36

T

he tireless entrepreneurs of Stripe—Suna Lock and Dana Rader—think of their work as “providing an inspirational playground” for their customers.

Anyone who’s found themselves glued to the retail eye candy of both Stripe and its brother store, Stripe Men, will agree. “Walls and windows,” they tell me, are key. “Windows are the eyes of the store,” says Lock. “The back wall is the anchor,” says Rader. Stripe’s back walls remain lit after hours— “like a stage set,” they both nod in agreement. Pooling Lock’s background in textile and interior design with Rader’s degree in fine arts, the duo focused on creating an irresistible retail environment. “That’s what we needed to compete in an online world. People have to be enamored

immediately. We can’t be lazy about the environment,” says Lock.

A giant whiteboard in the upstairs office documents the coming year of windows and walls for Stripe designers and planners. “We collect ideas all year,” and then the entire team meets in January to brainstorm and hash out ideas for the six-yearold flagship and its three-year-old sibling. The theme-driven walls change six times a year. “Or more,” Lock quickly adds. Once themes are planned, the buying begins. Where do they shop? I ask. Their eyes roll as if dealing with a friendly idiot.

Flea markets! Including one that spans five towns and thousands of purveyors. Who knew that the country’s largest flea market unfolds each year in Round Top, Texas?

A recent display of vintage farm implements—this, in a shop for women—testifies to the stylish frenzy of their retail imagination. “Stripe for men is much easier to plan for,” they both agree without knowing exactly why. “The space is smaller, hence cozier.” Right now giant puffy cotton-batting “clouds” drift along Stripe’s back wall and down the front windows. The idea came from a friend’s wedding. “Effective and simple. That’s what we love.”

Lock specializes in kids’ stuff, jewelry, and heads up Stripe’s Design Group. Rader, who pretty much can’t stay still, does clothing and buying.

“We start with soap land and kitchen world,” Rader says. They both laugh.

Other “lands” include “blue and white.” I start noticing all the blue

and white towels, toys, blouses, and scarves. “Or beige,” Rader says, straightening a towel. “We never run out of ideas. We get ideas everywhere.

Ideas in the shower,” says Rader. “We know our customer by now pretty well. We buy timeless.” Timeless is a guiding concept at Stripe, handpicked in a curated landscape. They both nod. “We watch what’s trending,” says Lock. “But we tend to be just off trend,” adds Rader. “Timeless and classic.” It looks expensive, they both agree. But it isn’t. Stripe shoppers cross over age groups and body types.

Stripe is for the entire gamut of age groups, from the rubber-duckie new moms to people who partied with Andy Warhol. And there are private as well as corporate clients for their design group, too, including Marini’s new candy store, the new Venus Spirits tasting room, Bonny Doon Vineyard Tasting Room and Citrix.

“We moved here to Walnut [Avenue] in 2007,” Lock explains. “Rents were lower and negotiable. Everyone was closing up. We saw a massive opportunity in a time that was desolate.”

What’s next? International travel “to find places that make certain clothing is the very best,” they say.

There will then be a Stripe line of clothing, and eventually more. “We asked ourselves, if we want to mind the store ourselves, how could we expand?” says Lock. Having a custom line available online and in other larger retail stores, that’s how.

“Besides,” Rader reminds me, “we have a team—and we’re both OCD.” Past the $24 earrings displayed on playing cards, we check out a huge dried tree stuck into a giant tub and anchored by round boulders. “We actually went driving around looking for a dead tree,” Rader recalls happily.

When customers come in they’re greeted by a circular table, the “activity area.” “It’s how we’re feeling at that moment,” Lock explains. “Our current ideas on a table.” Hammered copper Moscow Mule mugs make a statement next to striped scarves, jelly glasses and tooled leather. “We try to help people look at things differently,” Rader confesses. “We wouldn’t buy something we didn’t like,” they agree, adjusting clothing on racks and turning tags to maximize visual excitement.

RAY OF DARK Ray Bonneville brings his crooked tales to the Corralitos Cultural Center on May 15.

Criminal Mind MAY 13-19, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Fascinated by seedy characters on society’s edge, Ray Bonneville has never played blues by the rules BY CAT JOHNSON

38

A

s a youngster, blues artist Ray Bonneville was out of sorts. Born in French-speaking Quebec, he moved with his family to Boston when he was 12 and found himself in a new town, with a new culture and an unfamiliar language. It wasn’t until his mother bought him a used guitar that he started feeling at home.

He fell in love with the sound of the guitar, and played the E chord until his parents asked him to please learn some more chords.

“Playing guitar kind of saved me,” Bonneville says. “It took me away from the challenge of the language barrier, and gave me a thing to hang on to.”

Bonneville took one or two guitar

lessons, but says he really learned to play “from everything and everyone he could.” In high school, he joined a band that covered songs by Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, the Zombies and other British bands.

Playing music gave him something of his own, but it didn’t keep him out of trouble. Bonneville started having run-ins with the law, and eventually got expelled from school. His dad, who Bonneville describes as authoritarian and very religious, didn’t want him hanging around being a bad influence on his eight siblings, and challenged the teenager to join the military.

Bonneville joined the Marines, and in 1967, went to Vietnam.

On his return, Bonneville once again

found himself feeling lost. Once again, it was music that gave him direction.

He was driving a cab, wondering what he was going to do with his life when he was turned on to the great blues harmonica players like Little Walter, James Cotton, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Paul Butterfield. Bonneville took a shine to the instrument and practiced it between cab fares. When he combined playing harmonica with playing his guitar, a new musical chapter opened for Bonneville, but he was 40 years old before he started writing his own songs.

“For 20 years, I had been playing other people’s music, but never the way I heard it,” he says. “I always changed it a bit to suit me and my

style. When I started writing, I had a guitar style that was already there from doing that.”

When asked why he waited so long to start writing his own songs, Bonneville says he’s not sure, but maybe it was a matter of confidence.

“It could have taken me all that time to get comfortable with the English language,” he says.

Once he did start writing, Bonneville was drawn to dark characters, criminals, and lost souls. Part of his attraction to these characters is that they provide a way for people to live another life vicariously, and also because he can relate to them.

“I have a bit of a criminal mind myself,” Bonneville says. “I like to break rules, and I like to go my own way. I think criminals and people who live at the edge of society have something to say, and something to teach the rest of us.”

In the spirit of the blues, Bonneville takes hard-luck tales and turns them into toe-tapping, swinging tunes— something he has a well-established reputation for doing. He attributes his ability to create a nice groove to time spent in New Orleans, where he learned to take his time. He wonders if the languid pace in the town—and the music—is because it’s so hot there in the summertime.

“Being in New Orleans taught me to relax,” he says. “The music has its own groove. It’s as much about what you don’t say as what you do say.”

He adds, “The listener can be coaxed into imagining things that aren’t even there if you just give them the space to do it.”

On his latest album, Easy Gone, Bonneville does what he does best—tell stories of fringe dwellers, criminals and the broken-hearted. But despite his proclivity for dark subject matter, and a history that includes more than a few bumps, Bonneville counts himself among the lucky.

“No matter how crooked my path has been,” he says, “I feel really, really fortunate to have found what it is I’m here to do on the earth.”

Ray Bonneville performs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15 at the Corralitos Cultural Center, 127 Hames Road, Corralitos. $15$20. 254-2669.

This week the Women Lawyers of Santa Cruz County will present the film “She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” at the Nickelodeon Theatre from May 15-21, and will hold discussions following showings on May 15 and 20. This documentary follows influential leaders of the women’s movement between 1966 and 1971—the first to proclaim that “personal is political.” The film takes viewers from the founding of National Organization for Women (NOW) to the more radicals of the movement with their meat dresses, burning bras and topless marches. The film unpacks the spirit of the time and also explores the controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that plagued the movement.

When GRMLN started some years back, it was a solo lo-fi project, with Park recording surfy, undistorted guitars, drum machines and muffled lead vocals. After some Internet buzz, he transformed the project into a full band. On his latest record, he’s moved past the two-and-a-half minute mark into four-minute territory, broadening his emotional range a bit, too. AC

For over 20 years, the Santa Cruz Blues Festival has been a Memorial Day weekend staple, but this year, there’s a new show in town.

FILM

OBJECT OF AFFECTION Matthias Schoenaerts plays Gabriel Oak, a sheep farmer in love with Bathsheba Everdene, played by Carey Mulligan in Thomas Vinterberg’s new version of ‘Far From the Madding Crowd.’

Four’s a Crowd MAY 13-19, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Hardy love quadrangle explored in new adaptation of ‘Far From Madding Crowd’ BY LISA JENSEN

54

Y

ou might call Thomas Hardy’s 1874 literary classic “Far From the Madding Crowd” the grandfather (at least one of them) of the modern romance novel. (Along with just about anything written by the Brontë sisters.) Set in a wild, rural landscape—Dorset, in the West Country of England—Hardy’s story features a strong-willed, rule-breaking heroine loved by three very different men who play out the novelist’s recurring themes of love, class, passion and independence.

I was an impressionable teenager when I saw John Schlesinger’s 1967 adaptation of the novel with Julie Christie, Alan Bates, and Terence

Stamp. I thought it was the most romantic movie I’d ever seen. I didn’t have quite the same rapturous response to the handsome new Thomas Vinterberg film of Far From the Madding Crowd. For one thing, I’m no longer a teen. For another, Schlesinger’s film was some 49 minutes longer than Vinterberg’s new version, and it’s difficult to compress the scope of Hardy’s 460-page book into a concise, digestible two hours.

The plot points tick off right on schedule, but it sometimes feels as if there’s not enough time for the emotional weight of the events to fully resonate with the characters (much less the audience).

It’s too bad, because Danish

filmmaker Vinterberg’s excellent last film, The Hunt, was all about emotional nuance. Still, working here from David Nicholls’ script, Vinterberg makes a beautiful piece of craftsmanship out of the film. And the cast is generally persuasive, with a particularly sturdy performance by Matthias Schoenaerts as the aptly-named Gabriel Oak, who becomes the backbone of the film.

Carey Mulligan is effectively cast as heroine Bathsheba Everdene. She’s not a conventional heartbreaker, but, orphaned at a young age, she’s been running her small family farm on her own ever since. Steady, plain-spoken Gabriel Oak buys a nearby farm for his sheep, and, taken with Bathsheba’s high spirits, proposes marriage, but

she tells him she doesn’t want to be “a man’s possession.”

Their paths entwine again later, when she inherits a larger farm from her uncle, and shocks her staff and laborers by running the place herself, without a husband. When Gabriel loses his own place, and his flock (in a harrowing, heartbreaking scene), Bathsheba hires him to manage her sheep. He continues to care for her from afar as Bathsheba attracts the attentions of Mr. Boldwood (Michael Sheen), the wealthy, but awkward and lonely, 40-something bachelor farmer next door, and Sgt. Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge, last seen as the painter Millais in Effie Gray), a dashing and reckless cavalry officer.

It’s in the character of Troy and the subplot concerning him that the movie founders a bit. It’s plausible that Bathsheba might be swept away by the first taste of raw passion she’s ever known, a bit less certain that this independent-minded woman would be married to him within a few scant minutes of screen time, and utterly baffling that she’s regretting her decision (in a heart-to-heart with Gabriel) before the wedding feast is even over. It doesn’t help that the filmmakers can’t decide if Troy is simply a cad or a man wounded by a tragic former love affair.

Schoenaerts (the Belgian actor who partnered Marion Cotillard so well in Rust And Bone) imbues Gabriel with shading, depth and complexity.

When the willfulness of Mulligan’s Bathsheba occasionally gets tiresome, Schoenaerts holds the film together.

Sheen is excellent too, as an insecure man on the edge, struggling to keep up with more clever folk all around him.

He and Schoenaerts have a great scene together toward film’s end where we suddenly feel intensely involved with both men and their fates.

With a little more time to explore such moments, this film could have been a roaring success. Still, it earns major points as an admirable and gorgeous literary adaptation.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD *** (out of four)With Carey Mulligan, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Sheen, and Tom Sturridge. Written by David Nicholls. From the novel by Thomas Hardy. Directed by Thomas Vinterberg. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated PG-13. 119 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK LAMBERT & STAMP When two young aspiring British filmmakers set out in the early 1960s to find a subject for an underground movie, they stumbled upon an aspiring rock band. Ditching their movie plans, Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert wound up managing their new discovery, now known as the Who; this doc from James D. Cooper tells their story. (R) 120 minutes. Starts Friday.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Tom Hardy takes over the role that made the youthful Mel Gibson a star, and director George Miller takes the helm once again in this continuation of the postapocalyptic action franchise about souped-up, spare-part monster vehicles, huge explosions, and survival of the weirdest. Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Zoe Kravitz co-star. (R) 120 minutes.

Starts Friday.

MAY 13-19, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

FELIX AND MEIRA A young Hasidic Jewish wife and mother and an older French Canadian man at loose ends in his life meet in a Montreal bakery and begin an unexpected friendship in this romantic drama from filmmaker Maxime Giroux. (R) 115 minutes.

Starts Friday.

PITCH PERFECT 2 The sassy women’s a capella singing team that made the first Pitch Perfect such a sleeper hit is back in this sequel, directed by co-star Elizabeth Banks. It’s a big-game movie with songs in which the Barden Bellas choke at a big concert, then try to re-earn their reputation by entering an international competition that no American team has ever won. Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, and Skylar Astin head the cast. (PG-13) 118 minutes. Starts Friday.

SHE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE’S ANGRY The history of the early feminist movement, 1966-1971, is explored in this documentary from Mary Dore (The Good Fight), a panorama of vintage archival footage from the era, as

well as round-table discussions with many of the leaders of the movement today, including Susan Brownmiller, Rita Mae Brown, Kate Millett, Trina Robbins, and Linda Frye Burnham. (Not rated) 87 minutes. Starts Friday.

WELCOME TO ME Kristen Wiig stars as a woman who wins big in the lottery, dumps her psychiatric meds, and buys a talk show of her own to host. James Marsden, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Linda Cardellini, and Wes Bentley costar for director Shira Piven. (R) 87 minutes. Starts Friday.

CONTINUING SERIES: MIDNIGHTS @ THE DEL MAR Eclectic movies for wild and crazy tastes plus great prizes and buckets of fun for only $6.50. This week: To celebrate John Waters’ upcoming book-signing appearance at Bookshop Santa Cruz (May 19), the Del Mar presents two classics. PINK FLAMINGOS In Waters’ notoriously disgusting 1972 trash epic, the incomparable Divine heads a cast of Waters regulars (including Mink Stole and Edith Massey) as trailer park denizens exploding middleclass values as they compete for the title of “filthiest person alive.”

(NC-17) 85 minutes. At the Del Mar, Friday midnight only. CRY BABY Waters’ 1990 take on ’50s JD movies is even more benign and silly than his ’60s flashback Hairspray.

Johnny Depp is perfectly cast as the bad boy courting a good girl in a plot that provides the shortest possible segues between terrific ersatz ’50s rock ’n’ roll numbers.

And there’s something charming about Waters’ vision of JD culture as a refuge where even fat and ugly girls, oldsters, little kids, ethnics and other outcasts can be part of a cool crowd. (PG-13) 85 minutes. At the Del Mar, Saturday midnight only.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited to join us Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. in downtown Santa Cruz, where each week we discuss a different current release. For our location and discussion topic, please visit our Google Groups webpage: https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM

NOW PLAYING THE AGE OF ADALINE Blake Lively stars in this fantasy drama as a woman who has remained 29 years old for nearly a century who risks her isolated existence when she falls in love with a charismatic man (Michiel Huisman). Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, and Ellen Burstyn co-star. Lee Toland Krieger directs. (PG-13) 110 minutes.

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON The fate of the universe hangs in the balance (surprise!) in this latest superhero slugfest from the everwry imagination of writer-director Joss Whedon. Usual suspects Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), reteam to battle villainous Ultron (James Spader).

Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Paul Bettany have featured roles. (But, sadly, no Loki this time.) (PG-13) 141 minutes.

CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA In French filmmaker Olivier Assayas’ smart movie of ideas, a famous French actress (Juliette Binoche) confronts thorny issues of aging, sexuality, and personal relationships when asked to appear in a revival of the same play that made her a star 20 years earlier—except this time, instead of the ingénue, she’ll be playing a conflicted, defeated older woman. It’s an astute premise built on three strong female roles (including Kristen Stewart as her efficient young personal assistant, and Chloe Grace Moretz as the even younger American movie starlet cast in the ingénue role), in the kind of femme-driven story it never even occurs to Hollywood to make anymore. (R) 124 minutes. (***) —Lisa Jensen.

THE D TRAIN Jack Black stars as a guy so desperate to be cool at his upcoming high school reunion, that he recruits a classmate (James Marsden)—now the star of a popular TV ad campaign—to go with him, in this comedy from directors Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. (R) 98 minutes.

THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Shailene Woodley and Theo James return as Tris and Four in this second installment of the dystopian future trilogy based on the popular book series

by Veronica Roth. Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their fiercely classbased society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes.

(Saved FGB) EX MACHINA Screenwriter Alex Garland moves into the director’s chair with this simmering sci-fi chamber piece for three, with elegant echoes of Frankenstein and Blade Runner. Domhnall Gleeson is effective as a drone at a giant Internet search company invited to help his genius boss (Oscar Isaac) to determine if his AI experiment has consciousness. Alicia Vikander is the seductive creation. Garland has fun viewing the mad-scientist motif through the template of modern technology, and invites us to consider the nature of humanity, at its best and worst, in this smart, literate thriller. (R) 110 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD Reviewed this issue.

(PG-13) 119 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FIVE FLIGHTS UP Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman star as a married couple of a certain age preparing to sell their apartment in New York City’s East Village after 40 years in this drama from Richard Loncraine (My One and Only). (PG-13) 92 minutes.

FURIOUS 7 The untimely death of co-star Paul Walker midway through filming this installment was a blow to the series, but the action franchise roars on with this tale of a vendetta sworn against team leader Vin Diesel and his crew. Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and Walker are featured. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell also join the cast. (PG13) 137 minutes.

HOME A lovable purple alien from another world and a hip earth girl with a suped-up car become friends and allies in this family adventure comedy from DreamWorks Animation. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez provide voices.

Tim Johnson (Antz; Over the Hedge) directs. (PG) 94 minutes.

HOT PURSUIT A no-nonsense Texas policewoman and the mobster’s sexy wife she’s assigned to protect find themselves on the run from cops and crooks in this chase comedy. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara star. (Guess who plays which role?) Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip) directs. (PG-13) 87 minutes.

MONKEY KINGDOM Hot on the heels (or paws) of the previous Disneynature films Earth, Chimpanzee, African Cats, and Bears, comes a new Earth Day doc about a monkey clan in South Asia. Tina Fey narrates for codirectors Mark Linfield and Alastair Fothergill. (G) 81 minutes.

PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2 Kevin James is back aboard his Segway in this belated sequel to the 2009 comedy hit. This time he heads to Las Vegas for a last, pre-college outing with his teenage daughter and winds up facing a whole new cast of foes. Raini Rodriguez costars for director Andy Fickman.

(PG) 94 minutes.

RIDE Helen Hunt wrote and directed this dramatic comedy in which she stars as an editor from New York who follows her son (Brenton Thwaites) to California after he drops out of college to surf, and reinvents her own life as well. Luke Wilson and David Zayas co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

THE WATER DIVINER Russell Crowe makes his directing debut with this drama in which he stars as an Australian farmer who travels to Turkey in 1919, at the end of World War I, where all three of his sons were lost in the Battle of Gallipoli, to find their remains and bring them home. Olga Kurylenko co-stars. (R) 111 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK for a full cup of each one on future visits. The Himalayan Pink Salt is a major hit. Thick, voluptuous and easy to love. Still ahead of me is the Sipping Flight, featuring “the strong stuff,” made with 70-percent-strength cacao.

But in the late afternoon, I figured it was smart to stick with the lighter theobromine. Montezuma—addicted to cacao as legend has it—knew what he was about. Mutari also offers a small assortment of top quality pastries—from Squash & Blossom alternative-flour bakery, as well as Companion Bakeshop—and pretty glass jars of house cacao blends to purchase and make at home. It would be nice to see a slightly expanded menu of offerings, perhaps some light breakfast items, to fill things out. Thanks to sustainably minded entrepreneurs Adam and Matthew Armstrong for this delightful new micro-niche cafe. Ben Franklin loved to hang out in the chocolate and coffeehouses of London and Paris when he wasn’t busy founding the country. Franklin would love Mutari.

Getting Rich Santa Cruz’s pulse-raising gourmet chocolate house, plus Back Porch dinners and wine of the week BY CHRISTINA WATERS For my initial experience at Mutari, I joined Alta and Tatiana already ordering at the bar. They knew what they wanted—the Himalayan pink salt ($4.50), but I needed a broader sampling. Mutari helpfully provides flights of hot chocolate. Seriously.

So I ordered tasting portions of the house hit, a lightly roasted Guatemalan Cahabon cacao inflected with a dash of Himalayan Pink Salt, plus two other blends ($10). My new favorite exotic is Spicy Mexican (it’s not what you’re thinking!), a bolder medium roast of the Guatemalan cacao, laced with cinnamon, nutmeg, whole vanilla bean and ... cayenne— stupendous and definitely an adult chocolate. The third item in my

flight was Dark Ecuadorian Mocha, in which lightly roasted Colombian beans had been shot with French press coffee. After the flight came my choice of infant cupcake from Buttercup Cakes. I chose a strawberry gluten-free number with a rosette of, yes, chocolate frosting.

We took our potent delicacies into the cozy main room, walled with weathered lumber, and proceeded to discuss issues women have with their mothers. We paused, savoring the sophisticated and yet so easy to enjoy chocolate. All three of the handcrafted blends in the Hot Chocolate Flight—made with 50 percent cacao—were complex and intriguing enough that I will go back

WINE OF THE WEEK Quinta Cruz Albariño 2012, $17.99 at Whole Foods. From Bokisch Vineyard come these minerally grapes that winemaker Jeff Emery turns into a refreshing, complex, 12.5 percent alcohol beauty. Crisp, filled with citrus and stone, a melon-scented center, and a salty finish. This go-to white wine goes with everything, especially warm weather and a sense of perspective about the bizarre climate. Get some. No. Get a lot!

arely does anything live up to its hype. Last week I found a rare exception: Mutari Chocolate House and Factory. This pulse-raising, threemonth-old chocolate house specializes in a very narrow bandwidth of rich, velvety flavors. Like an Old World cafe in which adult chocolate beverages hold their own with the finest espresso, Mutari makes handcrafted hot chocolate drinks. From singlesource ethically produced cacao, the knowledgeable cacaoristas behind the bar patiently blend stoneground ingredients into thick delicious experiences. “Our mixes are authentic, rich, and bursting with flavor,” their menu reads. And they are so right!

ercy Vineyards has garnered a wealth of gold medals for its 2010 Pinot Noir, including a double gold at the 2013 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, golds at the Critics Challenge, Orange County wine competitions, and another gold at the 2014 Pinot Noir Shootout. These are serious accolades, and most certainly well deserved.

Fruit for this velvety Pinot is combined from three contiguous vineyards in the old dry riverbed corridor of the Arroyo Seco AVA (American Viticultural Area), and aged exclusively in French oak.

Red raspberry and black cherry fruit mingle with floral, mineral, vanilla, and spiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;showcasing the characters of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-yielding riverbed terrain. For the $28 you spend on this wine, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a full-bodied mouthful of sensuous Pinot that is worth every penny, and we can give thanks to winemaker Alan Phillips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Montereyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arroyo Seco AVA is many things,â&#x20AC;? say Mercy Vineyardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vintners Mark Dirickson and Mike Kohne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windblown, numbingly cold, fog laden, semi-arid, rock strewn, and austerely beautiful. In essenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the perfect grape source for Mercy Vineyards.â&#x20AC;? And perfect grapes go a long way toward making a perfect glass of wine.

WHERE YOU BUN Ricardo Magaña of Watsonville’s new Main Street Burgers

Main Street Burgers Downtown Watsonville gets an upscale burger joint BY AARON CARNES

B

What do you bring to the burger game?

RICARDO MAGAÑA: We make fresh, ground beef, grass-fed hamburgers with fresh local bread that is made every single day from Paulino Bakery in Watsonville. We use fresh local vegetables whenever possible. It makes a huge difference.

What’s your most popular item on your menu?

Actually, the chicken burger. That’s the one we sell the most of right now.

It’s fresh breast meat, not ground, the whole chicken breast. People like it because they know it’s fresh and healthy.

But the most unexpected item has to be the chorizo burger.

Yes. It’s really flavorful. The chorizo is made here. It’s a little spicy. We use garlic, cumin and dried chilis.

Thank You for Voting!

What’s your favorite non-burger item on the menu?

My favorite is the calamari. We buy it from Moss Landing, and we do everything ourselves here. The calamaris are great. We serve it with the cocktail sauce that we make here.

Do you have plans to expand the menu past burgers, sandwiches and fries?

Yes. Right now we just barely started. Eventually we will extend our menu. We’re going to start having specials, and the ones that sell the most, we’re going to keep on the menu. We will get chicken wings with different flavors eventually. We’re just trying different stuff right now, and seeing what comes out the best. Eventually, besides the french fries, we are going to have macaroni salad, and we are going to have coleslaw.

urgers and draught beer: they practically sell themselves because they’re awesome. Up until recently, downtown Watsonville was in desperate need of an upscale burger joint. But in April, the need was answered when Main Street Burgers & Brews opened its doors, offering highend ingredients in a casual sports-bar style atmosphere. We spoke with owner Ricardo Magaña about his new joint, good old-fashioned extra thick hamburgers and beer—and lots of it—and some of the odder items on his menu. Chorizo burger anyone?

In this last week of Taurus, we have a Taurus new moon festival (Sunday) and Mercury turning stationary retrograde (Monday). New moon times signify new realities, thoughts, ideas and planning.

Mercury’s three-week retrograde, creating internal assessments and review, allows us to emerge after the retrograde with new ideas introduced by the new-moon energy.

Mercury retrogrades through June 11 (from 13 to 4 degrees Gemini). Mercury is communication, messenger of the sun (gods). When a planet retrogrades, the outer characteristics become hidden. Everything feels upside down, curving into unexpected directions. Mercury rules the lower mind; how we communicate, add numbers, understand directions, and interpret our environments. When Mercury retrogrades, minds turn inward leading to confusion, misrepresentation, miscommunication, and details left out, not remembered.

Mercury Retrograde Rules: no large purchases

(car, house, computer, etc.), no signing (or sending) important papers, no new negotiations of business plans, etc. These “no” statements are protections. Why? Because when Mercury turns direct again, the world turns right-side up, it looks and sounds different, what we signed we discover had hidden clauses, what we agreed to actually never occurred. Everyone’s mind has changed! Mercury retro cultivates inner awareness, listening, research, review, and reassessment of all information received since last Mercury retro (Jan. 21 – Feb. 10).

Mercury retrograde provides us with a rhythm to review three to four times a year. By the time Mercury retrogrades we’re overwhelmed with too much information. Mercury retro’s gift is the offering of new perspectives, a new look at old problems or situations to achieve greater understanding.

Mercury is our personal “star,” our “messenger.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Mercury is your soul ruler, guiding and guarding you into newer and greater reaches of thinking and doing. During the retrograde, when it feels like delays are occurring continuously, take the time to look around, both internally and externally.

There are things to look at, new realities to understand and previous issues to review. Careful with all communications.

Mistakes can be made easily. You can be misunderstood. Ask people what they heard you say. You will be surprised.

Things legal, travel, education, goals and philosophy of life pass through your mind for review and possible revelations. Observe carefully what your mind of thoughts and ideas presents.

Careful at work. Something from the past may need attention.

Maintain the highest of ethics. Everything can become delayed and complicated. Know this. Give yourself extra (lots of) time when traveling, communicating, working. Rest a while.

Take no chances on any level during the retrograde.

No signing of important documents, no creation of new financial plans or agendas. Simply consider all options, waiting until the retrograde is over to make final decisions.

Review all financial budgeting, sources of income and all monetary outlays. Extra care with finances, loved ones, children and all communications will be needed.

Intimate communications, shared resources, sometimes thinking these are too difficult, thinking of higher education instead. This always happens with Scorpio, sign of the nine tests and trials, the deep waters of experiencing, sometimes feeling one is drowning. Mercury is the spiritual guardian of Scorpio. Mercury says to Scorpio, “Practice kindness and do no harm in thoughts and especially in speech which can create or destroy.” You understand this. You take a vow of “ahimsa.”

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Communication, as you well know, when Mercury is retrograde can be upside down and inside out. This retrograde can affect things domestic, all matters in the home, including communications concerning home. You will see your home in a different perspective. Try not to be too distant with everyone, which happens with Gemini when their guide and guardian (Mercury), retrograde, creates an inner focus. Explain Mercury retrograde as it applies to you.

You are sensitive during all Mercury retrogrades. Be aware of and observe this. Laugh about it; yet explain it to everyone who can listen. Careful with negotiations, with one-on-one interactions. Be extra loving and kind to partners and intimates.

You will think on past relationships, assessing what was loving about them, what was not, and the parts you played. Use words only for praise and appreciation. All others can destroy.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You will go even deeper into your shell during the retrograde.

You will be working out the past, seeking to understand in detail what occurred a long time ago, and how to see the entire picture, not just a few memories. Every level of interaction, past, present, and future, as it pertains to you, must be observed with no judgment, no criticism. Let your inner world inform you that all that you are is good. It always has been.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Your group life, all communications with groups—observe yourself and groups during this retro of Mercury. What people say may not come to fruition; meetings and agendas may be delayed. What you thought you heard in the group may end up being confusing. Plans may be cancelled. And those you thought were friends may give off uncommunicative signals. Perhaps you’re thinking of someone from the past. They are thinking of you, too.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

All worldly career decisions need to be reassessed and reviewed with care. This is the purpose of Mercury retro times. Mercury is your personal guide and guardian. It’s also Gemini’s. Careful communicating with co-workers, those in charge and in public. Professional matters may become complicated and tricky. Maintain a quiet, low, hidden profile.

Think more, act less at this time. You may feel you’re climbing a tall mountain. Get some boots.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 In the retro your daily life may feel messy, delayed and frustrating. You may feel you’re making lots of errors, that it’s hard to maintain daily routines, or feel life does not have any order and organization. Mercury retro is upending everything and this has purpose. It teaches us to be more adaptable, to flow with the changes (temporary), to know not much will be completed easily. Call in the templates of harmony and ease.

They will help you. Then go out and play.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Gambling is not a good idea for those who gamble. It’s really risky during retros. Focus more on children, romance, creativity, art, music, dance, painting, museums, and becoming nonjudgmental. Re-think romantic alliances, avoid entering spontaneously into new relationships and don’t introduce anything new to anyone. No one can hear.

Everything from the past must be revisited to see what’s viable for the future.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Family relationships are most important. Bring forgiveness and understanding to all past interactions with family. Forgive even if there is no understanding, even if there is no communication.

Forgive anyway. Everyone may seem on edge, especially you, Pisces. Do not begin major home improvements (no selling or buying) until the retro is over. Ponder instead. What can you do? Rework and reorganize everything at home.
