LOCAL TALK

What’s your take on Santa Cruz locals?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Santa Cruz locals are really friendly once you know them. I think a lot of them have a hard time leaving, and I would, too.

RYAN CARLE

SANTA CRUZ | BIOLOGIST

I miss seeing them, they’re not as obvious as before. The characters were more unique, and now I see more people who are more uniformly dressed, and young students.

MIRANDA JANESCHILD

SANTA CRUZ | OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

The locals in Santa Cruz are as diverse as the terrain. You have people from every walk of life, every economic status, every religion, philosophy, and viewpoint.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

James McNeil Whistler was an influential painter in the latter half of the 19th century. He advocated the “art for art’s sake” credo, insisting that the best art doesn't need to teach or moralize. As far as he was concerned, its most important purpose was to bring forth “glorious harmony” from chaos. But the immediate reason I’m nominating him to be your patron saint for the coming weeks is the stylized signature he created: an elegant butterfly with a long tail that was actually a stinger. I think you’ll thrive by embodying that dual spirit: being graceful, sensitive, and harmonious and yet also feisty, piquant, and provocative. Can you manage that much paradox? I think you can.

“Glory” is the theme song of the film Selma. It’s an anthem about the ongoing struggle for equal rights by African Americans. I want to borrow one of its lines for your use in the coming weeks: “Freedom is like a religion to us.” I think those will be good words for you to live by. Are you part of a group that suffers oppression and injustice? Are you mixed up in a situation that squashes your self-expression? Are you being squelched by the conditioned habits of your own unconscious mind? It’s high time to rebel. The quest for liberation should be your spiritual calling.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

If you’re planning on breaking a taboo, sneaking into a forbidden zone, or getting intimate with an edge-dweller, don’t tell boastful stories about what you’re doing. For now, secrecy is not only sexy; it’s a smart way to keep you safe and effective. Usually I’m fond of you telling the whole truth. I like it when you reveal the nuanced depths of your feelings. But right now I favor a more cautious approach to communication. Until your explorations have progressed further, I suggest that you only discuss them sparingly. As you put your experiments in motion, share the details on a need-to-know basis.

Renowned author George Bernard Shaw was secure in his feeling that he did good work. He didn’t need the recognition of others to validate his self-worth. The British Prime Minister offered him a knighthood, but he refused it. When he found out he had been awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, he wanted to turn it down but his wife convinced him to accept it. The English government also sought to give him the prestigious Order of Merit, but he rejected it, saying, “I have already conferred this order upon myself.” He’s your role model for right now, Taurus. Congratulate yourself for your successes, whether or not anyone else does.

GEMINI May21–June20 “Aha!” is your mantra for the coming weeks, Gemini.

Keep it on the tip of your tongue, ready to unleash.

This always-ready-to-be-surprised-by-inspiration attitude will train you to expect the arrival of wonders and marvels. And that will be an effective way to actually attract wonders and marvels! With “Aha!” as your talisman, all of your wake-up calls will be benevolent, and all of the chaos you encounter—or at least most of it—will be fertile.

DETAILS AT EBBANDFLOWSC.ORG

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 There are many possible ways to create and manage a close relationship. Here’s one of my favorite models: when two independent, self-responsible souls pledge to help each other activate the best versions of themselves.

If you don’t have a partnership like this, the near future will be a favorable time to find one. And if you already do have an intimate alliance in which the two of you synergize each other’s quest for individuation, the coming weeks could bring you breathtaking breakthroughs.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Do you chronically indulge in feelings of guilt? Do you berate yourself for the wrong turns and sad mistakes you made in the past? These behaviors may be sneaky ways of avoiding change. How can you summon enough energy to transform your life if you’re wallowing in worries and regrets? In presenting the possibility that you might be caught in this trap, I want you to know that I’m not sitting in judgment of you. Not at all. Like you, I’m a Cancerian, and I have periodically gotten bogged down in the very morass I’m warning you against. The bad news is that right now you are especially susceptible to falling under this spell. The good news is that right now you have extra power to break this spell.

It’s a challenge to drive a car through Canada’s far north.

For example, if you want to get from Dawson in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik in the Northwest Territory, you take Dempster Highway. It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling.

The permafrost in the soil makes the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears, and countless birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day. And the tundra? You’ve never seen anything like it. Even if you don’t make a trip like this, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version. With the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

In the TV comedy-drama Jane the Virgin, the fictional character known as Rogelio de la Vega is a vain but lovable actor who performs in telenovelas. “I’m very easy to dress,” he tells the wardrobe supervisor of a new show he'll be working on. “Everything looks good on me.

Except for peach. I don’t pop in peach.” What he means is that his charisma doesn’t radiate vividly when he’s wearing peach-colored clothes. Now I want to ask you, Leo: What don’t you pop in? I’m not simply talking about the color of clothes that enable you to shine, but everything else, too. In the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you surround yourself with influences that make you pop.

Aquarian author James Joyce wrote Ulysses, one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic stream-of-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only examine this book for evidence.)

Joyce claimed he labored over Ulysses for 20,000 hours.

That’s the equivalent of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for over seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a project, Aquarius? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Are you willing to entertain an outlandish possibility?

Here’s my vision: You will soon be offered unexpected assistance, either through the machinations of a “guardian angel” or the messy blessings of a shape-shifting spirit. This divine intervention will make it possible for you to demolish a big, bad obstacle you’ve been trying to find a way around. Even if you have trouble believing in the literal factuality of my prophecy, here’s what I suspect: It will at least come true in a metaphorical sense—which is the truest kind of truth of all.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land when he was 37 years old. He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months, Pisces. The old proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans,” has never been so important for you to observe.

On U On Used sed Home Homess and U Unused d Home Homes H es

By Datta Khalsa, Broker

We Pay the Sales Tax!

I have recently listed two properties in La Selva that will make interesting case studies to see who buys them and how much use they will get: One is an oceanfront townhome that is one of only 21 in a small exclusive complex on the bluff. The current mix of neighbors consists of about 1/3 with full-time occupants, 1/3 with regular use as second homes, and 1/3 with little use. With association rules prohibiting short-term rentals, those are rarely occupied.

The other listing is a large luxury estate that was completely renovated over a year ago. Its owners moved in order to avoid living through the remodel.

Their original plan was to enjoy the home during return visits to the area, but they decided to sell after it sat fully furnished and vacant for well over a year. During that time its only regular human visitors have been the landscapers and other maintenance people.

It is easy to become philosophical at how often perfectly good homes go unused in a town where housing is at a premium, and about how many people can afford to buy a place to begin with.

Given the demographics of the neighborhood they are in, it is a virtual certainty that neither of these homes will get rented out after they are sold, but it remains to be seen if the new owners end up actually living there. In the meantime, their walls echo with the happy urry of activity from open houses and property showings that our busy real estate market has brought to them.

Datta Khalsa is the broker and owner at Main Street Realtors in Soquel. He can be reached at (831)818-0181 or datta@mainstrealtors.com.

Nationwide only about 2/3 of people own their homes while the other 1/3 rent, and that level is dropping: national home ownership rates are currently at 64%, the lowest level since 1995.

With Bay Area home prices continuing to rise, the statistics for home ownership in Santa Cruz County will likely continue to stay well below national averages, but there are surprising variations within the County: According to a recent article on Patch. com, in Santa Cruz with its population of students and transients, only 44.3% of the residents own their homes. Watsonville’s resident ownership is lower at 42.2%, while in Aptos and Soquel it jumps to 76.2% and 69% respectively.

Capitola and Seacliff drop to 45% and 49%, while Bonny Doon and Felton are each over 70%.

OPINION

<4

We wanted to clarify the information regarding our grant requests with the city and county. We are not asking the city or the county to “up their support of the center by $45,000,” but are seeking a total of 45,000 from all of our funders, which would indeed raise all of our staff to a minimum of $15 per hour. This group of funders includes the city and county, but also includes private donors, parents, and our own fundraising events as well. We are actually asking for approximately $8,900 in additional funds from each of the local jurisdictions, which is incidentally about 25 percent of the amount

of funding we’ve lost from them since the great recession of 2008.

We are a nonprofit organization, with 85 percent of our budget going toward personnel costs. There simply are not enough funds generated by the “business” of childcare to pay its workers a worthy wage, without subsidy.

Contributions to the cause may be made by going to either our Facebook page and clicking “donate” on the Razoo icon, or by going to Razoo.com and searching for Santa Cruz Toddler Care Center.

OUTSIDER ISSUES Many veterans returning from war struggle to reintegrate into society, and an estimated one in five veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder.

Treating Trauma

T

en years ago, John found himself experiencing extreme anxiety in social situations and having trouble sleeping. When he did sleep, he was waking up with night terrors. He was 23, and fresh out of a five-year stint in the U.S. military, including six months in combat in Iraq.

“When I got out, there was no transition therapy or anything. This was 2004, and I wasn’t offered any kind of psychological help on the way out, nor was I advised on what I should do,” he says.

Although he was never officially diagnosed, John, who didn’t want his real name used for legal reasons, thinks he was likely experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a severe anxiety disorder caused by psychological trauma that, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, up to 20 percent of soldiers returning from Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom experience. Symptoms like heightened anxiety, panic attacks and proclivity toward substance abuse lead many to search for treatment wherever they can find

it, sometimes even down less conventional avenues. Even though he was in psychotherapy, it was the illegal drug MDMA that John says was most effective in relieving his combat-related feelings of guilt and anxiety, and enabled him to reintegrate and connect with those around him.

One Vietnam veteran in Santa Cruz, self-described “master herbalist” Elijah Free of Earth Friend Herb Co., is looking for a drug-free cure for PTSD, and claims to have an herbal concoction comprised of hawthorn berries and ginger root

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 20-26, 2015

Local man looks to develop herbal remedy for post-traumatic stress disorder BY RICHARD JONES

that can counter the biochemical processes behind PTSD. An ounce of Free’s solution, Cortisol-EASE, comes in a medicine dropper for $20 on Amazon. Whether or not herbal remedies like Free’s can actually curb the disorder’s symptoms remains difficult to gauge, but Free says a medical study for veterans is currently under way. According to Free, PTSD is caused when cortisol levels repeatedly spike in the body in extremely stressful situations, and then remain chronically high.

“Think back in human history,” says Gary Dunn, licensed psychologist and director of Counseling and Psychological Services at UCSC. “If your ancestors were confronted with something like a tiger, they’d have to work that situation out or they’d get killed.”

“Our bodies respond the same way as they did for our ancestors,” says Dunn. “Your heart starts beating faster, you break a sweat and your body starts producing corticosteroids. Those compounds are good in the moment, but not so good over time.” If cortisol levels remain consistently high, the body suffers. The immune system grows weak, the heart becomes taxed and the risk of contracting chronic diseases climbs.

“We all have our minor traumas,” says Dunn. “Our tendency is to talk to our friends and family members about those traumas. And that’s a great way to turn them from active into passive memories.”

The same method applies to more intense traumas, says Dunn.

By revisiting the memory with a loved one or therapist, pain and anxiety can give way to acceptance and calmness of mind. Exposure therapy can also help, in which a patient incrementally confronts greater and greater triggers until their anxiety desists.

The United States Department of Defense regards cognitive behavioral therapy as standard treatment for PTSD. Therapists like Dunn help victims to navigate their ideas and feelings so they can identify harmful, anxiety-producing thought patterns and strive toward less stressful states of mind.

TROUBLED TREES A Mapuche woman in the documentary ‘Synthetic Forests: The Dangers of Genetically Engineered Trees’ protests genetically modified tree plantations, which are raising environmental and health concerns.

Frankentrees

Will GMO forests save resources or destroy the ones we have? BY MAT WEIR

S

cientists all over the world are working on “Super Trees” they say will help the environment by capturing more carbon dioxide and help farmers make more profits. But environmentalists worry that the genetically modified forests of the future could do more harm than good.

That’s the debate covered in the

documentary Synthetic Forests: The Dangers of Genetically Engineered Trees by Santa Cruz filmmaker Ed Schehl and Earth Links Inc. activist Steve Leinau.

Tree plantations aren’t a new thing. However, according to the film, genetically modified trees (GMO, GE or “Frankentrees”) are the next wave in a growing business to maximize profits for

tree farmers, biofuel and paper companies. And it’s happening now. The U.S. is projected to produce 21 billion gallons of biofuel by 2022, with roughly 11 billion of that coming from tree plantations in southern states.

“The reason we made [Synthetic Forests] now is these GE trees are just about to be introduced,” >15 Leinau grimly explains.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 20-26, 2015

Last month, dog owners who have been walking their pets for years at the beachfront Long Marine Laboratory grounds on the Westside rallied at a UCSC meeting in protest of a new no-dog policy set to begin in June.

The meeting sparked coverage in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, including an op-ed that suggested the two sides of this issue—dog owners who want a safe, picturesque place to walk and scientists concerned about their restoration efforts—are at irreconcilable odds.

A closer examination, however, reveals the potential for compromise.

The regulation is a part of UCSC’s Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) for the Long Marine area, which includes a $54 million biology building and expansion of the mammal pools, and a new wing for the Center for Ocean Health. Construction of the building has already begun, and the no-domestic animal policy will be enforced using “student ambassadors” beginning June 1.

UCSC officials say that their restoration project for the surrounding habitat is on track, despite the fact that dogs have been present until this point; the main threat, they say, is that dog walkers too often ignore the property’s on-leash policy.

But dog walkers like Melissa Hart say it’s the first they’ve heard of it.

“Nobody’s ever really tried to say ‘OK, we need your dogs on leash so you can keep your privilege,’” says Hart. “By banning dogs, you kind of run the risk of skewing your population of dog walkers toward the people that really are willing to break the law and don’t give a damn about you.”

Hart walks her 12-year-old Labrador Retriever, Bella, at the Long Marine area because it’s one of the few places she feels safe walking alone.

An environmental scientist by trade, Hart was a land-use planner for the county of Santa Barbara, and has spent countless hours poring over UCSC’s Environmental Impact Report and LRDP. Even with her background, she says, the documents are a tough read, and the university should have been more vocal about the no-dog clause in their plan, which was approved in January 2009.

DISABILITY/SSI

NEWS FRANKENTREES <10 “The GE eucalyptus has just been approved in Brazil, and it’s pending with the USDA now, waiting for the final comment period.”

There are three types of genetically engineered trees on the market for possible commercial use—eucalyptus, poplar and the loblolly pine—grown for biofuel for power plants, cars, furniture and paper. The genetic modifications are for climate resistance, quicker growth (producing a faster yield for farmers), disease/pest resistance, density, lignin weakness (for easier processing) and sterility, which ensures farmers must purchase their next crop.

Genes are modified in a straightforward but technical process. First, scientists target a particular trait they want expressed. Then they extract the DNA from one organism and into another using a vector—bacteria or a virus—to insert the target gene into the host cell. Without the vector, the foreign DNA would be rejected by the host. Instead, it acts as a weakening agent, attaching itself to the host genome and allowing for replication.

The potential benefits of GMOs are well publicized. On its website,

FuturaGene, a global leader in the emerging biotechnology, claims its genetically modified eucalyptus (GME) could yield up to 15 percent more than conventional eucalyptus, capture 12 percent more carbon, and give farmers a 28 percent increase in profit.

ArborGen, another global leader that specializes in plantation tree seedlings for the forestry industry, says its SuperTree Seedlings (a registered trademark) uses advanced genetics to “enhance the traits of these species.”

After all, humans have been enhancing the preferred traits in plants and animals for at least 12,000 years. Isn’t the direct manipulation of genes the next logical step in a society driven by technology? No, says geneticist and Canadian science broadcaster David Suzuki.

“We study the genetics of organisms by breeding the male and female of one species, looking at their offspring and breeding them through what is called ‘vertical inheritance’ of a species,” Suzuki says. “When you take a gene from one species and transfer that DNA into a totally unrelated species, that’s a completely different kind of experiment. This is called ‘horizontal inheritance.’

We’ve never done that before and it is absolutely bad science to say we can look at vertical inheritance and use the same ideas to explain what goes on in horizontal inheritance.”

One of the greatest concerns raised by GE trees is the crosspollination contamination of indigenous forests, which are already endangered. Scientists have found “natural” loblolly pines give off millions of pounds of pollen light, enough to travel distances for hundreds of miles.

Cross-pollination can also lead to the contamination of organic farms, ruining crops and leading to potential lawsuits by biotech companies, as documented cases have shown.

“Of course you have the problem of cross-pollination,” describes Leinau. “And for people who are worried about ingesting GMOs, or breathing GMO pollen, once there’s cross-pollination between GE eucalyptus and ‘native’ eucalyptus, they will be breathing it forever.”

While the immediate impact on human health is uncertain, the filmmakers believe the negative implications could be astounding.

“Many of these trees are being grown and then pelletized to use as biofuels for power plants,” >19

NEWS BRIEFS Marijuana advocates say they are on the verge of winning the first repeal of an ordinance in the county in 13 years, and could have pot voted on in the next election.

Spurred by the county supervisors’ ordinance banning commercial marijuana cultivation, an organization called Responsible Cultivation Santa Cruz has collected 11,210 signatures on a petition asking for a repeal of the law.

The county clerk has 30 days

to validate the signatures and prove the signers are county residents. They need only 7,248 signers to put the issue to voters.

The ban was supposed to go into effect May 15, but it’s on hold for now. It would have allowed only 10 foot by 10 foot pot gardens on the property of those needing medical care, and would have only allowed one collective selling weed in the county.

Supervisors Zach Friend, Greg Caput and Bruce McPherson voted for the ban; John Leopold and Ryan

Coonerty voted against it.

After 30 days, they could either dump the ordinance or call for an election. The next election cycles are in November this year or June 2016, according to County Clerk Gail Pellerin. The November one is small, she says, and might not be economical. The pro-side held a dinner that raised $30,000 in an hour to launch this campaign, according to Robert Singleton of the polling group Civinomics.

Jokes Pellerin: “Pot is motivating.”

RETREAT UP AND RUNNING Under its new owners, Essene and Christie Wolf, Kiva Retreat is starting family Saturdays in June. To make it more kid-friendly, the clothing-optional retreat on Water Street will become swimsuit-mandatory on Saturdays during the day only. The business owners are cleaning the place up and restoring its once-lush gardens and hot tubs and plan to bring in art shows, Pilates and yoga. BRAD KAVA

THE LEASH <13

16

Hart and other members of the Long Marine Dog Walkers, who started a petition on change. org, are asking that the university allow dogs in the area as long as they are on leashes.

“If you need evidence that dogs can coexist with your very admirable goals of building great research facilities and improving the habitat, you already have it and more,” she says. “They have a really successful record of having dogs on the property.”

That’s mostly true, says UCSC Institute of Marine Sciences Assistant Director and Long Marine manager, Steve Davenport. The problem is that owners let their dogs off leash around 50 percent of the time, by his estimate, and that wreaks havoc.

It’s hard enough without dogs to restore wetlands and recover them from land that has been farmed, say officials who are five years into a 20-year restoration plan.

“On this terrace, we had about 100,000 years of this native coastal prairie [plant] and then in the 1920s it got tilled and turned into a farm for the first time,” explains Davenport.

“Now we are endeavoring to get something

close to what it was that 100,000 years before the 1920s.”

Banning dogs wasn’t a quick or capricious decision, he adds.

“There’s a lot more to this than people see and understand, and in some respects maybe we probably haven’t done a good job in communicating what’s involved with being successful—even with good explanations, it’s hard to grasp.”

UCSC originally had 40 acres that started the marine lab and acquired 60 acres from Wells Fargo bank in 1999. The same year, Davenport and others began the Resource Management Plan, the precursor to the LRDP. They also made the decision to open the land to the public.

Elizabeth Howard, who is in charge of the Younger Lagoon Reserve, a protected area adjacent to the Long Marine labs, says that they have an obligation to maintain their grounds as a “living classroom” in order to produce accurate findings and maintain the integrity of the land.

“You can think of it as if you’re a chemist and you need a chemistry lab to do your research and your teaching—you wouldn’t

have your dog running around your chemistry lab,” she says.

Off-leash dogs have been known to dig through areas where students have planted, they can transmit diseases, and oftentimes owners just don’t pick up after their pets.

“One of our goals is not just diversity of native habitat sites, but it’s about creating those habitats for native wildlife—native birds, bobcats and coyotes,” says Howard. “We see dogs harassing wildlife, chasing birds, picking up lizards or snakes, chasing after rabbits.”

Although natural predators like coyotes and bobcats come through the area, they’re far fewer in numbers than “subsidized predators” like dogs, says Davenport. They come through a few times a year, compared to the hundreds of dogs that walk through in any given week.

“If there was a 100 percent compliance with people keeping their dogs on leash and staying on leash, it’d be a different picture,” says Davenport. “But people are just ignoring the idea.”

UCSC Executive Vice Chancellor Alison Galloway said in a statement that more than 400 proposed revisions are currently being reviewed.

“I know that community members enjoy walking their dogs on the coastal campus, and can assure you that the Chancellor and I strive to be good local partners with the community, even when faced with tough policy decisions,” Galloway said.

The California Coastal Commission itself doesn’t require a no-dog policy, says Susan Craig of the Santa Cruz office. “We don’t usually see too many projects that say anything about dogs at all,” she says. However, the commission has backed the no-dog rule.

Ultimately, they all know what’s best for the reserve, says dog walker Hart, and cooperation is in everyone’s best interest. “[The university] could use good will, they could use people being on board with their construction, because it’s going to be a long few years,” Hart says. “And why should a nondog walker care? When the university gets to decide whether they let you know that they're deciding to change their policy and decide who the stakeholders are—maybe it’s not you this time, but maybe it’s something you care about next time.”

Schehl grimly summarizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the film states, when it comes to particulate matter [ultra-fine particles], it is much worse to burn wood than coal.â&#x20AC;?

This is because not only does wood empty more carbon into the atmosphere, but also its particles are so fine they are more easily absorbed into our bloodstream.

GE plants are marketed as disease- or pest-resistant but often the genes are manipulated to be resistant to pesticides (e.g.

Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roundup Ready seeds).

So instead of fewer pesticides, farmers often use more. One of those chemicals is Atrazine, which is aerially sprayed over the tree crops after harvest to kill any invasive plants before the next sowing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atrazine is also associated with a number of reproductive health problems in humans,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Tyrone Hayes, professor of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley, warns in the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with low sperm count. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with an increase in breast cancer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with an increase in prostate cancer, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with at least three birth defects.â&#x20AC;?

Hayes should know. His research on Atrazine was used to win a multi-million dollar class-action lawsuit against Syngenta, a Swiss manufacturer of the chemical, revealing Atrazine as the number one contaminant of drinking, ground, surface, and rainwaterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a travelling distance of more than 1,000 miles.

As grave and uncertain as this may all sound, Leinau is cultivating a seedling of hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing right now is people need to share this information,â&#x20AC;? says Leinau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The USDA will be opening up for final comments before the genetically engineered eucalyptus is permitted for unrestricted release.â&#x20AC;?

Schehl could not agree more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can change this just as they did with net neutrality,â&#x20AC;? he concludes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it can happen.

With the Internet, now we have the power back.â&#x20AC;?

Sunday, country day, is a challenge Lewis is excited about, a although he did receive an obscenity-laced email from someone in Indiana who had been a regular r festival goer and now won’tt return.

“I said, ‘Excuse me, isn’t Saturday one of the best blues days we’ve w ever had?’” Lewis answers. People can be stubborn, he says, bu ut if they open their minds, they are usually u rewarded.

his weekend,, Santa S Cruz g gets something old,, new, borrowed and definitely fi blue, as the 23-year-old San nta Cruz Blues Festival shifts ft names an nd direction, but borrows some of the sam me great acts.

The Memorial Day we eekend festival that put Santa Cruz on the t blues map by bringing in some of the biggest names in music has become the e Santa Cruz American Music Festiva al—a name one of the founders says is morre appropriate for the times.

“It’s something we tallked about in years past,” says Phil Le ewis, who started the festival and Moe’s Alley A with Michael Blas and former partnerr Bill We Welch.

Current partners includ de Mike Spano, Connie Burroughs, Judy y Appleby, Margie Way, Jim Tracey and Bru Wa uce Howard, all of whom have helped out over o the years.

“The blues people are e getting older and some of the performers are passing away, like B.B. King,” Lewis sa ays. “We We wanted to open it up a little more to t different kinds of acts.”

In 1993, the festival was w one day and

featured d the top names in solid blues, in ncluding Albert Collins, Pinetop p Perkins, Jimmy Rogers, Rod Piazza and a Debbie Davies. But three years la ater, New Orleans boogiewoogie piano man Dr. John was added to the mix, and the following year fea atured rockers Little Feat.

The festtival was expanding its musicall turf, even if no one was saying so s in so many words.

Laterr lineups included the Doobie Brotherrs, Los Lobos, John Hiatt, Joe Cocker, Chris Isaak, and Wa Was (Not Wa as)—artists who were said to have mu usic that was inspired by or originatted with the blues, even if no one wou uld mistake them for Robert Johnson n.

This year, y the festival broadens its scope ag gain, bringing in a first fi day of blues with w Bonnie Raitt, JJ Grey and Mofro, Ana A Popovic, Coco Montoya, Chris Ca ain and Big Sam’s Funky Nation, and a second day anchored

by Nash hville country music with Big & Rich, Kellie Pickler, Los Lonely Boys, Ryan R Bingham and Drake White & the Big Fire.

having them come and have a good time—and bringing their friends the next year.”

If he had had his way, Lewis says he would have brought in more obscure, rootsy performers, Texas red dirt bands and mandolin players, like the Dead Reckoners, the Punch Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show.

“You, me and a few hundred people would be there and enjoy it tremendously,” he jokes. “I’ll try to throw in acts like that when I can.”

Even the current lineup is eclectic. Los Lonely Boys on country day? No one would ever call them country. And Ryan Bingham, like Steve Earle or Ryan Adams, falls into that category which is no category: “Americana music.”

The festival has had great success finding up-and-comers and staying with them when they up and

arrive. Trombone Shorty is a good example. The New Orleans horn player was unknown when he was booked to open the show. He became a big draw, going on to play the festival three times, and is now an international star. Florida’s JJ Grey and Mofro was the first band up in 2006, when people were still walking in. This year, they are second on the bill, right below Bonnie Raitt, and will no doubt be a headliner soon.

JJ Grey has influences all over the spectrum, including soul, rock, blues and funk.

“I don’t want to think and add something to make an album more bluesy or have more soul or funk,” Grey says in a phone interview.

“I want it all to be there, but I want to stay out of the way of that happening.”

There’s no worry about genre in a set with his seven-piece band;

they play soulful ballads and New Orleans-tinged jump tempo tunes that get crowds dancing.

Grey, with peacocks screeching from his Florida backyard, recalls touring with B.B. King and being afraid to talk to him, and the strangest festival lineup he was booked on—and how it ended up being one of the best he’d ever played.

In 2003 Grey opened for King and Jeff Beck on a national tour, but he kept a low profile, not wanting to bother the headliner. Then King’s grandson told him that B.B. thought he must hate him because he didn’t talk to him.

After he explained why, King invited him onto his bus and they hung out and talked in what Grey calls “a life-changing experience.”

Then there was the heavy metal

Azkena festival in Bilbao, Spain, where Mofro and the Black Crowes were the only old-style rockers, among a lineup that offered a lot of Scandinavian death metal.

“But that was one of my favorite festivals I ever played,” he says.

“I never had a reception from an audience like that, especially one that didn’t know you. They sang along, even though they didn’t know the words. They made them up. And then they serenaded us off the stage, singing the whole time. That was phenomenal.”

A few weeks back he played an unusual festival in Alabama that included country bands and Styx.

The highlight, for him, was seeing Hank Williams, Jr. “I was blown away. His set was a mixture of everything,” says Grey.

“That guy’s voice is massive. He

played rock ’n’ roll, straight-ahead rock, boogie woogie. I had no idea what I was in for. My point is, you never know what will happen until it happens.”

That’s the attitude Lewis wants to keep at Santa Cruz’s biggest festival.

“Country fans love live music,” he says. “We’re starting this the way we started the Blues Festival. We’re experimenting. I’m looking forward to booking next year. We’ll get an earlier start and we’ll have one under our belt.”

One of his standards is Coco Montoya, the rocking bluesman who doesn’t consider himself just a bluesman. Montoya has played 10 of Santa Cruz’s Blues Festivals, starting with the third. He also hosts the after-party jam session, which this year will be Sunday at the Catalyst.

Montoya’s set on the big stage will include Chris Cain and “Mighty” Mike Schermer.

“It’s all going around in a circle,” says Montoya, on the phone while

driving from Chicago to Denver. “In the ’60s or ’70s, you’d have jazz acts and funk acts and rock acts on the same bill. It was just about music.

That’s what was fun about going.”

Blues waxes and wanes in popularity, Montoya says. “It’s not at the highest high it’s known, but sooner or later there will be a rediscovery and the young people will embrace it like they did in the past.”

Like several performers on the bill, Montoya had a relationship with B.B. King. King played Santa Cruz last year in a benefit to raise money for heart surgery for Montoya’s wife, Lenora, who is in excellent health now.

“B.B. was very important in my life,” he says. “He was very nurturing and was there to help you along when you were fairly green in this business. He was the kindest, sweetest soul I’ve met in my life.

It’s going to be very hard to be in a world without B.B. King.”

King played the Santa Cruz

<28 there are people like Eric Clapton who really love and care about this music.â&#x20AC;?

Montoya says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned to open his mind to new sounds, and the Santa Cruz audience will also. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I once saw an interview with Vince Gill and the interviewer asked him the question, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What do you think of country now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gill said he thought it was great, but it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;may not be my cup of tea. But you know what, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Merle Haggardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cup of tea and it goes all the way back to Hank Williams, who may not have liked someone who came after him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He embraced that fact, and I think that has to happen. People have to open up and give things a chance.

ig & Rich, the country duo that brought us “8th of November” and “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” are the Sunday headliners for the inaugural Santa Cruz American Music Festival. But tucked up near the beginning of the day’s lineup is an underexposed gem of the alt-country landscape, Ryan Bingham. An artist who the KPIGand No Depression-faithful are familiar with, Bingham is the real deal—a songwriter who, as Nashville country has taken a hard turn into Hollywood-style polish, keeps the hard living, misfit swagger of outlaw country alive.

A former bull-riding rodeo cowboy and ranch hand, with a rough and ragged voice that makes him sound far older and wearier than his 34 years, Bingham sings about trains, death, dust, and backroads from the perspective of someone who has seen hard times—and he has. Born in New Mexico and raised in West Texas, Bingham lost his mother to alcohol and his father to suicide, leaving him to raise himself as a teenager. His music is imbued with images of being on the road, trying to find a place in the world, and the quiet freedom that comes from being alone.

In “Never Far Behind,” a song about being haunted by the memories of people who are gone, Bingham sings, “How many times can I forget you / If you are always on my mind / I’ve tried so hard to outrun you / You are never far behind.”

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL Ryan Bingham

plays the Santa Cruz American Music Festival on Sunday.

Bingham is not a gloom and doom artist, though. His music feels like the open West, like driving across Texas with the windows down and no one else around, like a campfire in the desert and no plans for days. Bingham makes the blues feel like freedom.

In addition to Bingham, the American Music Festival plays host to some other early-in-theday treasures, including Big Sam’s Funky Nation, a high-energy New Orleans funk band led by trombonist extraordinaire Sammie Williams; blues guitarist Ana Popovic, a Santa Cruz Blues Festival veteran who is single-handedly putting Serbian blues on the map; and Drake White, an Alabama-born, Nashville-based country singer-songwriter.

Playing early in the day at a festival means performing while people are still trickling in, wandering around trying to find a place to sit, but don’t be fooled, this festival’s lineup has no weak spots— all the artists are headline acts who pack venues and rake in accolades.

For instance, Bingham has a résumé that includes winning both a Grammy and an Academy Award for his song “The Weary Kind” from the film Crazy Heart, starring Jeff Bridges. The festival is a rare opportunity to see him and the other early acts do their thing before Aptos Village Park gets packed.

An immigrant from Norway—where she learned the value of kindness and cooperation watching her parents help rebuild their town after World War II—Telle knew the power of taking a stand. “The Ultimate Bullying Solutions Guide” is direct and proactive.

Telle, with surgeon Steven Garner as an ally, was able to help her son toward a new life, one in which he could deflect the sting of bullying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell children at the schools I visit about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the bullying shield,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is an imaginary shield I made up for my son to use. It allowed him to have power and protect himself from hurtful remarks,â&#x20AC;? she says.

The book is filled with warmth, compassion and sound, simple advice to help both victims and their parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acceptance and kindnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;getting along with someone who is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;differentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (nationality, skin color, size, sex) is not hard to do,â&#x20AC;? Telle believes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to feel with your heart and not build walls that cannot come down,â&#x20AC;? she says. Her book also includes ideas for school administrators, templates for lobbying government officials and even a sample note of apology for those who have engaged in bullying.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to have young kids in school to find â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ultimate AntiBullying Solutions Guideâ&#x20AC;? to be loaded with crisp anecdotes, important ideas, and workable strategies for one of the looming problems of our times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullying is not OK,â&#x20AC;? insists Telle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every child has a right to feel safe at school, and we as adults must set an example for our children to follow,â&#x20AC;? says Telle, tiger mom.

Full disclosure: I have personal experience of Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgical skill.

He was the plastic surgeon on call the night I was rushed to the operating room after a 70-foot Monterey pine fell across my car during a storm. I am grateful every day that he was around to repair my punctured face.

<34 over the world, with groups like Operation Smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Steven Garner was recommended as the best plastic surgeon around,â&#x20AC;? says Telle. And when her son was a little over a year old, the first operations took place to reconstruct his lips and mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was not a lowcomplexity operation,â&#x20AC;? says Garner, who spent time visiting the operating room of surgical mentor Ralph Millard, the pioneer who literally wrote the book on cleft lip and palate reconstruction.

Once Telleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son started school, however, other kids began to make hurtful remarks. Bullying is a much bigger, and potentially deadlier phenomenon than most of us ever realize, Telle says in her book. The most common form of bullying is verbal. And in Telleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, her son Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;today, thanks to Dr. Garner, a very attractive 13-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was confronted about the scars on his lip and his post-op way of speaking. But she worked to help him understand why people feel the need to bullyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;low self-esteem is a huge factorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and helped him rehearse ways to respond, to hold his ground. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ultimate Anti-Bullying Solutions Guide,â&#x20AC;? Telle shares some of her creative methods for helping Brendan through these difficulties, including daily roleplaying games, setting boundaries, and providing positive reminders about how â&#x20AC;&#x153;differentâ&#x20AC;? also means â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique.â&#x20AC;? Telle urges parents to remind their children that they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect just the way they are.â&#x20AC;?

Her book not only identifies varieties of bullying, but also suggests easy and helpful ways to shield and protect ourselves and our loved ones from the pain of being persecuted.

Stereotyping, the book points out, is another way of bullying. It is an all-too-common way of hurting any individual or group that can be perceived or targeted as â&#x20AC;&#x153;different.â&#x20AC;?

MUSIC

SHARING ECONOMY SambaDá’s music exemplifies their philosophy of trading off everything from music to dinner.

Initiation ‘Ritual’ MAY 20-26, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Local Afro-Brazilian institution SambaDá gives new lineup a baptism by fire on upcoming album BY LIZA MONROY

38

T

he title of popular Santa Cruz-based Afro-Brazilian band SambaDá’s new album, Ritual, is a nod to their feelings about making music together, but the group’s mealtime ritual perhaps speaks even more to the bandmates’ family dynamic.

“We all share plates, switch plates,” says lead singer, dancer and percussionist Dandha da Hora over tea on a sunny Tuesday afternoon at a band meeting in the Westside home she shares with SambaDá multiinstrumentalist Anne Stafford.

“Someone steals straight up from everybody else’s plates,” adds Stafford.

“I guard my plate,” says percussionist Will Bates-Minou, to

laughter from the rest of the group.

This spirit of constant sharing and trading off also defines SambaDá’s music and performance style.

“We’re known as a band where everyone changes their instruments in the middle of the set,” says lead singer, guitarist, and founding member Papiba Godinho. “We have an exchange.”

Percussion is the soul of SambaDá.

“We’ve all spent time studying it, and that’s a good way to understand Brazilian music, through percussion,” Stafford says. So when all three of their central percussionists had children around the same time a couple of years ago, leaving the band to focus on their new families, SambaDá—together for 16 years

now—faced a period of uncertainty.

Looking to fill the void, Stafford thought of local master Senegalese percussionist Ibou N’gom of Domu Africa. “Even though he never played Brazilian music before, our roots are in Africa, so we’re not that far apart culturally,” she says.

The band members were delighted when N’gom got on board, along with bassist Etienne Franc and, a year later, the newest member: percussionist Will Bates-Minou, who rotates with founding band member percussionist Gary Kehoe.

“I always wanted to be in the band,” says Bates-Minou. “An early influence was Papiba. Going to SambaDá shows, they’d let me have a

shaker, then a drum …”

Eventually, Kehoe recommended he officially join. “Gary and I did a lot of classes together,” Bates-Minou says, “and Papiba and Ibou are two of my teachers and early influences.”

With a new lineup established, it was time to get to work on Ritual, their third album, out this month.

The newly released CD—featuring 11 tracks composed primarily by Godinho and arranged by Godinho, da Hora, and Marcio Peeter—was recorded in a single room, in an attempt to replicate the band’s live energy.

Ritual’s energetic songs including “Jamais Esquecerei,” which Godinho wrote about falling in love with his fiancée (Profeta and da Hora arranged the Samba Afro in the song), and “Na Ladeira,” inspired by the AfroBrazilian martial art capoeira, of which Godinho is a mestre avançado, “advanced mestre,” a title recently bestowed upon him by his own mestre at Godinho’s annual capoeira batizado—graduation ceremony— earlier this month. This made Godinho one of three to achieve this rank in the international capoeira academy Raizes do Brasil. (Godinho’s capoeira students provide backing vocals in the chorus.) The Cumbio track “Perdido” and the humorous “White Toyota,” the band’s first track in English co-written

by Godinho and Kehoe, round out the danceable, eclectic, and romantic collection.

Finishing the album may bring about yet another fresh start for SambaDá. “We’re in the beginning stages of being able to explore this conversation,” Stafford says of the stylistic collaboration with the new members. “We’ve been so busy on the album and getting everyone up to speed on the repertoire. Now we can start exploring what everyone brings.”

“We’re like the roots of a tree with different branches,” says da Hora, something Bates-Minou illustrates by telling the story of da Hora showing him a rhythm a few days before called xote, which was originally a Scottish polka. “I have some Scottish roots so I was all, ‘this is my rhythm,’” he says with a smile. “Linked to Brazil.”

As long as they don’t steal too much food off each other’s plates, this family of a band’s future looks as bright as its roots are deep.

SHACK SHAKER When he’s not recording as Hiss Golden Messenger, professional folklorist M.C. Taylor travels through the U.S. finding traditional music to record.

Hiss Story MAY 20-26, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

From field recordings to quiet folk, the man behind Hiss Golden Messenger is anything but conventional BY CAT JOHNSON

40

M

.C. Taylor, the man behind the indie-folk project Hiss Golden Messenger, is well acquainted with folk tradition. A professional folklorist by trade, Taylor has travelled throughout Eastern North Carolina documenting traditional music. But he says that defining the term in the 21st century can be tricky.

“When Alan Lomax was talking about recording traditional music, he was talking about people who had developed regional styles of music that were unaffected by mass media,” Taylor says. “Now, at a time

when everybody can hear and see everything, traditional music takes on a different meaning.”

Taylor and his colleagues had many discussions about who was fit to be recorded as a traditional artist and who wasn’t. These conversations always made Taylor uncomfortable.

The way he sees it, if someone says they play traditional music then they play traditional music.

“It has a lot to do with how they learned it, and where they learned it from,” he says. “It has a lot to do with the spirit of the performance and the emotional relationship of the person to the song.”

Creating an emotional relationship to the music is an essential element of Taylor’s own songwriting. As Hiss Golden Messenger, Taylor, who also fronted the San Francisco indie-rock band the Court & Spark, uses songs to explore topics that weigh heavy on his mind. Repeating themes in his music include God, salvation, and spirituality, and he draws heavily from biblical language. His songs are full of religious imagery and talk of holy days, chapter and verse, omens, fools, crowns, good news, and doves.

When asked what draws him to biblical and spiritual themes, Taylor says he’s amazed people don’t think

about religion and spirituality more.

“I feel like questions don’t get asked nearly enough,” he says, explaining that he spends a lot of time thinking about the place of spirituality in our lives. “I’m just compelled to write on the subject.”

Despite the biblical leanings, Taylor is not a zealot or a saint. Alongside songs about God and salvation are songs about drinking whiskey and burying his sword. Now six albums and two EPs into Hiss Golden Messenger, Taylor also writes about love, joy, troubles, and gratitude.

The 2010 album, Bad Debt, brought Hiss Golden Messenger attention and acclaim for its intimacy and honesty.

Recorded at his kitchen table while his then-infant son slept, the album feels like you’re being let in on a secret. It is whisper-quiet at points, challenging listeners to slow down and pay attention.

“I’m usually looking to put words to paper that have an emotional resonance for me,” he says.

“Something that I can sing every night if I need to, and continue to develop my relationship to, and still have them be words that echo in people’s heads.”

Taylor’s latest offering, Lateness of Dancers, is his closest yet to a mainstream album—a rich, lovely record with a more produced, studio sound than past offerings. When asked about it, Taylor explains that it’s not a studio album at all.

“I think it’s funny when people talk about how it’s more polished,” he says. “That record was actually made in a barn that belongs to a friend of ours. We brought in our own mobile recording rig and [recorded the album] quite quickly.”

It was then that he connected with his music in new ways and began making music for himself, no longer afraid to sing about things that were very personal.

“I was interacting with music in the same way I saw a lot of people I was interviewing interacting with music,” he says. “Doing folklore work reminded me that music is at its best when you’re having a very personal relationship with it.”

Hiss Golden Messenger will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 22 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 5/22-SUNDAY 5/31 SPLINTERS IN OUR ANKLES Gerald Casel was raised in California, so despite his Filipino nationality, he didn’t learn the national dance—the Tinikling—as other Filipino children did. The past few years of research have seen Casel returning to the Philippines to unpack the many layers of historical context that brought about the Tinikling, a dance that consists of two or more people beating a pair of bamboo poles on the ground and against each other. Now the Gerald Casel Dance Company will present the end result of that research, ‘Splinters in Our Ankles,’ a collaborative collage of folk dance and contemporary movement.

BE OUR GUEST SAGE FRANCIS It’s not everyone who can say they were writing rap lyrics at the age of eight and sneaking out of the house at 12 to go compete in rap battles, but not everyone is a natural wordsmith like Sage Francis.

An underground rapper with aboveground recognition and respect, Francis has been rapping for more than 30 years.

He’s also a celebrated spoken-word artist, helping to put Providence, Rhode Island on the map as a hotbed for the arts, and hosting a weekly poetry slam at the legendary New York club CBGB. CAT JOHNSON

SUNDAY 5/24 NOISE-ROCK

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT Is it a weirdo noise-rock band or is it a puppet show? Actually, Quintron & Miss Pussycat is both! It doesn’t get more DIY and lavishly elaborate than this duo (Quintron plays the music, Pussycat is in charge of stage antics), who put on a show with costumes, puppets and props. The New Orleans group sounds something like a German Devo—stiff, noisy and demented, but pure New Wave fun (and full of swamp culture references). The project is so

experimental that Quintron even invents most of his instruments, like the Drum Buddy. Look that one up. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-6994.

STORM LARGE & LE BONHEUR

IN THE QUEUE DAN BERN

Workingman singer-songwriter in the tradition of Dylan, Guthrie and Springsteen. Thursday at Crepe Place BACK IN TIME

Many a strange musical wind has blown out of Portland, but for sheer vocal prowess, femme fatale charisma and film noir atmospherics, there’s no one quite like Storm Large. Best known for her work with Portland’s leading purveyor of polyglot exotica Pink Martini, Large struck out on her own. With her latest project, Taken by Storm: Songs of Seduction & Obsession, she seems to have found her sweet spot with a persona that’s alluring and Barbara Stanwyck-level dangerous.

Local vocal trio and its band perform hits from the Great American Songbook and swing era. Thursday at Kuumbwa

Swedish, indie-folk singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson. Friday at Catalyst TO LINDA WITH LOVE

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 20-26, 2015

Playing an unlikely mix of Tin Pan Alley, 1960s chamber pop, jazz, folk, and indie rock, Kendra McKinley is a rising star of the San Francisco music scene.

McKinley launched her solo career at UCSC, when a group of fellow students encouraged her to perform and record her own compositions. This same group of artists co-founded the Do It Ourselves festival, an annual music event in the Santa Cruz Mountains that McKinley headlines. Also on Friday’s bill is Steep Ravine, a standout roots-rock band that was also formed at UCSC. CJ

and also had his Kentucky hometown, Bowling Green, named the birthplace of the genre. A mandolin master who has racked up a clutch of awards, Bush blends the best of traditional bluegrass, including speed and technicality, with the genre-bending, improvisational elements of progressive bluegrass.

FILM

FASHION FIXTURE Albert Maysles’ documentary ‘Iris’ is a celebration of the colorful life and style of

New York City’s fashion influencer Iris Apfel.

Life of Style MAY 20-26, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Influential 93-year-old fashionista profiled in ‘Iris’

58

L

ess is definitely not more for Iris Apfel. A fixture on the New York City design scene for more than 60 years, the 93-year-old doyenne of style proves that fashion has no expiration date, adorning her frail-seeming body with a riot of prints, patterns, feathers, bangles and beads. With her matterof-fact demeanor, wry wit, and easy laugh, she’s a thoroughly beguiling subject for the documentary Iris, the last film completed by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter; Grey Gardens), who died earlier this year.

Iris does not believe in dressing down. The film opens in darkness, with nothing but a distinctive clicking and clacking on the soundtrack. When

the lights come up, this proves to be Iris at her toilette, adjusting multiple ropes of chunky beaded necklaces to show Maysles’ camera how she puts herself together. She favors ethnic beads layered until they resemble a breastplate, metal cuffs and Lucite bangles stacked to the elbow, vivid, colorful prints (all worn together, of course), topped off by her trademark enormous round glasses. The process of selecting clothes and accessories, of putting an outfit together, says Iris, “is more important than wearing it.”

And more fun, too.

Known as “a legendary collector of fashion,” Iris and her husband Carl have traveled the world buying the bits and pieces of fabric, clothing and accessories that take up seven rooms

BY LISA JENSEN

in their Park Avenue apartment. Her vast collection of costume jewelry was featured in one of the most popular exhibitions ever mounted at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

She still travels the city seeking out fun stuff (we see her buying imported African beaded bracelets in Harlem), and everything she wears she buys herself.

Maysles doesn’t waste a lot of time on backstory, but we piece together Iris’ ascendance in this world from her own words (and she is quite the entertaining, no-nonsense raconteur). As a young sales clerk from Queens at the famed Loehmann’s department store, she attracted the attention of Mrs. Loehmann, who told Iris, “You’re not

pretty, you’ll never be pretty. But it doesn’t matter. You’ve got style.”

After parlaying her acumen into a successful career as an interior designer, Iris and Carl founded the company Old World Weavers, trading in the ethnic and exotic fabrics they found around the world.

Smart and opinionated, Iris attends runway shows, stars in a photo shoot, and inspires a store window fashion display. She takes part in a training program for young aspiring designers, because, without training, she says, “You’re going to end up with a bunch of machine-made junk.”

She doesn’t care much for modern trends (“Black is not really style, it’s a uniform”), but when longtime friend and fashion photographer Bruce Weber says he’s never seen her criticize other people’s clothes, she laughs. “It’s better to be happy than well-dressed!” she says.

She also speaks candidly on personal matters. Plastic surgery?

“Oh, God, no!” she cries. “You end up looking like [a] Picasso!” she adds, pulling her cheek and chin in opposite directions. She says she never had children because “You can’t have everything. Something’s got to give,” and her work was far more important to her. Asked for her styling tips, she shrugs. “I don’t have any rules; I would always be breaking them, so it would be a waste of time.”

Time is something no one wants to squander in this movie. Maysles was in his late 80s when he shot it, but while all the participants on both sides of the camera understand that life is not eternal, there’s nothing elegiac about the film. We see Iris briskly confront the task of cleaning out the multi-room storage loft that houses the leftover stock from Old World Weavers; they’re finally ready to sell their collection of fabrics, antiques and objets d’art from around the world, with the idea that somebody else might as well enjoy them. Iris and their friends also hold a 100th birthday party for Carl. But there’s never any sense of grim death hanging over this movie. It’s all about celebrating life.

IRIS ***1/2 (out of four) With Iris Apfel and Carl Apfel. A documentary by Albert Maysles. A Magnolia Pictures release. Rated PG-13. 80 minutes.

FILM

READY FOR ‘ME’? Kristin Wiig is an insane smolderer in the silly and sad ‘Welcome to Me.’

Off Her Meds

Kristin Wiig runs wild—and transcends her sketch roots—as a truly strange character ‘Welcome to Me’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK favor of a high-protein diet that she has read will calm her many moods.

After hitting it big with an $86 million lottery ticket, the longtime fan of nutrition infomercials decides to produce her own daytime TV show.

She burns up a fortune creating what an overenthusiastic media student (Thomas Mann) later describes as “The first narrative infomercial.” It’s two hours of whatever she wants— blurted confessions, reenactments of difficult past experiences she hasn’t been able to process, and painfully awkward silences.

In cooking segments, Alice devours her alarmingly high-protein dishes in real time, as the employees of the public-access TV studio

(Jennifer Jason Leigh and Joan Cusack among them) watch, aghast.

The plot is reminiscent of the life of Florence Foster Jenkins—the kind of performer whose fortunes kept them going when talent wouldn’t.

Wiig is an insane smolderer.

Her acting in Welcome to Me is on par with performance artist Anne McGuire’s 1997 piece “I Am Crazy and You’re Not Wrong,” where McGuire plays a 1960s chanteuse working over an abjectly autobiographical tune as a ritual of self-cleansing. The film also recalls Catherine O’Hara, circa 1983, as SCTV songbird Lola Heatherton, performing “You’re All Just Parasites Draining Me of Love,” silently

Welcome To Me With Kristin Wiig, Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Joan Cusack. Written by Eliot Laurence. Directed

by Shira Piven. Rated R. 105 minutes.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 20-26, 2015

I

n her new dramady Welcome to Me, Kristin Wiig transcends hilarity, crossing over into a twilight zone between sketch comedy and performance art. It’s recommended viewing for people who adore Wiig and her soulful embodiments of extremely strange women.

The ever-surprising Wiig plays a woman called Kleig, like the light.

Alice Kleig lives in a desert town just outside Los Angeles. She is a borderline personality disorder case, who spends her time sitting alone in her small studio apartment surrounded by her ceramic swan collection, watching Oprah. Despite the warnings of her shrink (Tim Robbins), she’s gone off her meds in

whinnying from the effects of too many amphetamines.

There seems to be a trace of a molestation joke in the original cut of Welcome to Me. What exactly happened to Alice in Canada?

From evidence we glimpse on a TV monitor in the studio, one of Alice’s reenactments is concerned with the story of how she was mishandled by a Mountie when she was a little girl.

It would certainly explain a sketch we do see, a puppet theater piece Alice puts on about having been institutionalized by a Canadian judge.

It’s better if the roots of Alice’s illness are more mysterious—it’s not always One Big Trauma that disturbs brain chemicals. Wiig gets closer to the reality of such a malady than you’d get in a serious actorly film.

She suffers from the humiliation of her disease—wrath, breakdowns and a naked walk of shame. But she’s also been given untroubled exhibitionism, a hypnotic sultriness, and a completely unfettered libido.

No dramatic actor could have had as much fun with the principle “crazy in the head, crazy in bed” as Wiig does here. If she were a man, she’d be getting the reviews Bradley Cooper got in Silver Linings Playbook.

Shira Piven’s unobtrusive direction leaves some troubled relationships requiring fast closure.

Redwood City’s Linda Cardinelli is very warm as Gina, Alice’s best friend (she’s also Mrs. Hawkeye in Age of Ultron, representing the world of non-Avengers). But Gina seems strangely surprised that Alice acts narcissistic—they’d been friends since childhood and she had never seen that behavior before?

The standard way of dealing with a potentially unattractive lead character is to give them a pet dog.

Alice ends up with a tribe of dogs, but they don’t get enough closeups to sweeten Alice for the kind of viewer who thinks that enough love can cure mental problems. The happy ending is available to all: it’s the solace of the TV that is the ultimate constant for Alice—it’ll always be there for her.

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:

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

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 In Thomas Vinterberg’s handsome adaptation of the classic Thomas Hardy novel, the plot points tick off right on schedule, but there’s rarely enough time for the emotional weight of events to fully resonate with the characters (much less the audience). Still, the wild Dorset locations look splendid, and the actors are persuasive—Carey Mulligan’s effective, non-traditional heroine, Michael Sheen, hapless and edgy as one of her three suitors, and especially Matthias Schoenaerts, whose warm, sturdy performance as the most reliable suitor is the backbone of the film. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

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.

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. (PG13) 87 minutes.

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, Christ 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.

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 post-apocalyptic 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.

PITCH PERFECT 2 The sassy womens 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 co-star for director Shira Piven. (R) 87 minutes.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 20-26, 2015

TOMORROWLAND Intent on turning every ride in their original theme park into a movie, the folks at Disney present this sci-fi mystery adventure about a jaded former boy genius (George Clooney) and a bright teenage girl (Britt Robertson) on a journey of destiny to a place called “Tomorrowland” that haunts their dreams. Directed by Brad Bird (The Iron Giant; Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), from a script he wrote with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. (PG) 130 minutes. Starts Friday.

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME Even die-hard fans of David Lynch’s perversely wonderful TV series may find this 1992 big-screen prequel from the maestro himself slow-moving and maddening. But Lynch still has a knack for peculiar visionary images, disturbing the peace and rattling the psyche. (R) 135 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

f Soquel Vineyards partners Peter and Paul Bargetto and Jon Morgan were walking down the street wearing their winning wine competition medals, you’d hear them coming from a mile away. This year was particularly rewarding for the Bargettos and Morgan—they won two Double Gold Medals and five Gold Medals at January’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

One of the Double Gold winners in the prestigious competition was the 2013 Pinot Noir, which went head-to-head against a plethora of other Pinots to come out on top.

Grapes for this award-winning wine come from the respected Lester Family Vineyards in Aptos, which continues to garner accolades for its consistent and much soughtafter high-quality fruit.

Dark, ripe and redolent of aromas of dark plum, anise, spice and pomegranate, this earthy full-bodied wine is nectar of the gods for Pinot lovers. Aged in 100 percent French oak, the wellcrafted 2013 Pinot ($39) is perfect for a special occasion. It’s a wine to be appreciated and savored.

Situated up Glen Haven Road, a drive through serene redwoods leads you to the Soquel Vineyards’ welcoming tasting room, which is surrounded by vineyards and breathtaking ocean views. “Casual Mood—Serious Wines,” say the winery owners. And that succinctly sums up what they’re all about.

Soquel Vineyards, 8063 Glen

Haven Road, Soquel, 462-9045. soquelvineyards.com. Tasting room open weekends from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

GOOD TIMES 40TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY Our office celebrated the 40th anniversary of Good Times last month, and many businesses provided food, wine, cookies, chocolates, and flowers in plentiful quantities. Thank you for the splendid service: Akira Sushi; Gabriella Café; Mobo Sushi; Donnelly Chocolates; Pacific Cookie Company; Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery; Silver Mountain Vineyards; Storrs Winery; MJA Vineyards; Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing; and The Flower Shack. We thank them for adding their delicious touches to our festive party.

PATINE IN PLEASURE POINT Patine is a beautiful little home décor store that used to be tucked away in La Selva Beach, but has now moved to a more prominent location in Pleasure Point. Offering a wide variety of unique vintage and antique treasures from around the world, including beautiful linens and textiles, the store is well worth a visit. Patine’s owners travel four times a year to European countries in order to handpick farmhouse-style furniture and decorative items, so expect to find out-of-the-ordinary items.

Store hours are 11 a.m. Tuesday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Pizza with an artisan twist comes to Aptos Beach BY BRAD KAVA

Why Pizza?

JEANNE HARRISON: Because I love pizza! It’s artisan pizza and there’s nothing like it nearby. We have a sourdough crust and organic local produce. We have three types by the slice and six for whole pizzas. You’re at the beach, you walk over and grab a pizza. It’s a slam dunk.

lemon vinaigrette, but someone did and it’s over-the-top super good. That’s called the Palo Alto ($15). Some of the others are the Margarita ($13) with fire-roasted tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil and the Wild Mushroom ($14) with portabella, cremini and shiitake mushrooms.

What else are you working on?

Gluten-free is the big request, but everything I’ve tried tastes like cardboard. I’ve got one I’m working on with a cauliflower crust. I like it.

Why have two restaurants next door to each other? Are you competing with yourself?

Cafe Rio is more formal and Flats is very informal. You can take it to go.

It’s quick. It fills a need in this area.

Having two restaurants next door is better than having them miles apart.

I walk like seven miles a day just going between them. If it was in a different location, jeez, that would be awful. I’m glad it’s next door.

eanne Harrison is kind of a miracle worker. After managing Cafe Rio in Aptos for 20 years and watching it go out of business for two of those years, she had a chance to buy it three years ago, and revived its heyday of great seafood on the beach.

But she always looked across the courtyard at the coffee shop next door and thought about what she could do with it. Finally, she had a chance to buy it also, and opened a month ago as Flats Bistro. The name comes from the Rio del Mar flats, the cul de sac of a beach that draws locals and tourists.

Flats offers coffee, açaí bowls, housemade pastries and exotic woodfired pizzas at affordable prices.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GEMINI SUN, PENTECOST AND GLADNESS As the sun enters Gemini on Sunday, sign of speaking, communication, thinking, interrelations, writing and understanding languages, the feast days of Pentecost & Shavuot (Catholic and Jewish festivals) occur. During Pentecost’s 50 days after Easter, tongues of fire appear above the heads of the disciples, providing them with the ability to understand all languages and all feelings hidden in the minds and hearts of humanity. It’s recorded that Pentecost began with a loud noise, which happened in an upper room (signifying the mind).

The Christ (World Teacher) told his disciples (after his ascension) when encountering a man at a well carrying a water pot (signs for Age of Aquarius) to follow him to an upper room. There, the Holy Spirit (Ray 3 of Divine Intelligence) would overshadow them, expand their minds, give them courage

and enable them to teach throughout the world, speaking all languages and thus able to minister to the true needs of a “seeking” humanity.

Pentecost (50 days, pentagram, Ray 5, Venus, concrete and scientific knowledge, the Ray of Aquarius) sounds dramatic, impressive and scary: The loud noise, a thunderous rush of wind and then “tongues of fire” above the heads of each disciple (men and women). Fire has purpose. It purifies, disintegrates, purges, transforms and liberates (frees) us from the past.

This was the Holy Spirit (Ray 3, love and wisdom) being received by the disciples, so they would teach in the world and inform humanity of the Messiah (Christ), who initiated the new age (Pisces) and gave humanity the new law (adding to the 10 Commandments of the Aries Age) to Love (Ray 2) one another.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

This is an important month for you Aries. You will be called to harmonize your activities and will in the world by applying intelligent (not emotional) love, care and tenderness to all you contact. Multiple energies and rays of life (from the stars in the Big Dipper) combine. You become a harmonizer. Observe this. You are coming to a greater self-awareness as a server in the world, building the new sharing society.

You’re called to be a “water-bearer,” dispersing the “waters of life” to all you contact. These waters are actually lines of light/energy consisting of love and wisdom, intelligence and willingness expressed through you. You’re the vehicle for a great love needing to be radiated out to others. Humanity is weary these days, needing more love to be uplifted. Will you help?

TAURUS Apr21–May21

Many different levels are impacting your life. Intensity and deep change accelerated this last year. It’s best to consciously turn inward, paying attention to the subtlest of experiences, feelings and emotions. The depth of your attention is changing. Considerable shifts of awareness are occurring, bringing you to a state of self-inquiry.

Notice others reflecting this self-inquiry for you.

Something is precipitating, moving down from realm to realm through all the planes until it externalizes in your mind and heart and into your day-to-day. It’s the willto-good, the father principle, that, when reaching your mind, becomes goodwill, the mother principle. This, you are to consciously radiate.

This month may not provide much comfort. Conflicts arise everywhere. You have strength, will and purpose guiding you through each day. It’s good to recite meditative prayers upon arising, at noon, 5 p.m. and before sleep. These bring a purposeful harmonizing rhythm to your days and nights. New information is being impressed upon your mind as dreams for future implementation.

N

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You may feel deep conflicts, not a new state. It’s a continuation of what you’ve known before. Let’s look at conflict for understanding. It’s creative, forcing you to attention (tension creates greater attention), allowing you to form unusual perspectives. Conflict is the first step toward harmony. You seek intimacy (different levels) for various reasons. These help you understand the effects you have on others. You need others now.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Should any separative thoughts, feelings, talk (gossip) and/or actions enter your mind, make an effort to surround them with clouds of light. Use your aspiration and goodness to love more. This will create an awakening within you and sow seeds of love within others. Eventually you will dissolve all separations that wound and hurt. Joy emerges.

For several weeks you attempt to manage your life by examining and organizing new duties and responsibilities.

Key words to understanding this are efficiency and effectiveness, very Capricorn words leading to balance and success. Don’t fret if you’re not quite doing what you think you should be doing. You are. It’s a time of learning and listening, so that when asked you lead with compassionate love and knowledge.

LEO Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

You’re being called to resolve all differences within all planes of awareness of the self. The soul and personality also call to you. One for love and care for things in matter and the other to further cultivate the mind. The two become one when you think of serving humanity and preparing for a very different future. Think about what you would teach others about the path. And about forgiveness.

A happiness has appeared. It’s from the heart of the sun.

You feel free to express and be yourself more. You set your own priorities, working to maintain autonomy and independence (physically, emotionally and mentally). It’s important for your freedom to play and have fun. Often you worry. Aquarius needs a free-spirited state of play and rest.

Children cross your path. Children of light.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

How can you support others in their endeavors? What responsibilities do you feel concerning this task? There’s a collective purpose and identity that humanity must assume, and you’re humanity’s “mother,” gestating this new consciousness. Much of humanity is only dimly awake. How can you deepen everyone’s awareness of things to come? What do you hope the future holds?

Events deep in the past appear like shadows across your mind.

You ask many questions about your upbringing, wondering if you were to parent yourself what you would have done to better prepare yourself for life in form and matter. You examine your childhood as it relates to present life. You remember Pisces doesn’t enter matter. It hovers above it, seeking where it can heal, serve and save the world.

OUR 77 TH YEAR

Occupation: Teacher Hobbies: Exercise, surfing, gardening, cooking Astrological Sign: Libra What do you like to cook? CABOT: “We like to grill and also do Mexican, stews, soups, meatballs, and we use lots of vegetables — all healthy, simple, kid-based dishes. We can get all that we need at Shopper’s.” NAIMA: “We’re big fans of the cheese department and their wines are terrific: quality, fair pricing, and I like that they carry great local wines.”

CABOT: “It’s our go-to store for parties.

We’ll pick up some appetizers, sausages, something to grill, maybe a marinated tri-tip — we like to take care of our friends.”

NAIMA: “Shopper’s offers across-the-board quality and affordable pricing.”

How so? NAIMA: “We shop here three to five times a week. We’re raising a family on two teachers’ incomes so it’s important that the pricing is good, and it is. We recommend Shopper’s all the time to visitors. It’s the first place our parents go when they’re visiting.”

CABOT: I like that the butchers are friendly and professional, so service-oriented. They’ll help you any way they can.” NAIMA: “If we come in here with just one of the kids, they’ll say, ‘Hey, where’s the other one?!’”

CABOT: “Our kids Edison and Opal feel comfortable here. They’ll run and around and have fun. It’s a great place to shop.”

You prefer shopping local? NAIMA: “Yes, of course. We want to support a community business like Shopper’s, plus it feels like family. The checkers are sweet — they know our kids’ names — and make us feel at home.” CABOT: “We like Shopper’s organic products. But what we really appreciate is that they carry so many local items, which are always on our shopping list such as Pacific Roasting Co. coffee, Glaum eggs, also breads, ice creams, and more.” NAIMA: “In fact they carry our friend’s products from Friend in Cheeses Jam Company.”

“We’re raising a family on two teachers’ incomes so it’s important that the pricing is good, and it is.”
