ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 3 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The Persian scholar Avicenna was so well-rounded in his knowledge that he wrote two different encyclopedias. Even as a teenager he was obsessed with learning all he could. He got especially consumed with trying to master Aristotle's Metaphysics, which did not easily yield its secrets to him. He read it 40 times, memorizing every word. When he finally understood it, he was so excited he celebrated by giving out money and gifts to destitute strangers. I suspect you will soon be having an equivalent breakthrough, Aries. At last you will grasp a truth that has eluded you for a long time.

Congratulations in advance!

People I meet are sometimes taken aback by the probing questions I ask them. Recently an acquaintance said to me, "Why don't you feel driven to talk about yourself all the time, like everyone else?" I told him the truth: "Being curious is just the way I was made. Maybe it's because of my Mercury in Gemini, or my seventh-house sun, or my three planets in Libra." I suspect that you are due to go through a phase similar to the mode I'm so familiar with. If it doesn't happen naturally, I suggest you coax it out. You need to be extra inquisitive. You'll benefit from digging as deeply as you dare. The more information you uncover, the better your decisions will be.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

When it's rush hour in Tokyo, unwieldy crowds of commuters board the trains and subways. They often need help at squeezing in. Railway workers known as oshiya, or pushers, provide the necessary force. Wearing crisp uniforms, white gloves, and neat hats, they cram the last stragglers into each car. I foresee the possibility of you being called on to perform a metaphorical version of the service these pushers provide. Is there a polite and respectful way for you to be indelicate in a worthy cause? Could you bring light-hearted tact to bear as you seek an outcome that encourages everyone to compromise?

I love to watch an evolved Scorpio get his or her needs met by helping other people get their needs met. It's thrilling to behold the paradoxical Scorpio assets in action: the combination of manipulativeness and generosity; the animal magnetism working in service to the greater good; the resourceful willpower that carries out hidden agendas and complex strategies designed to make the world a better place. I expect to see a lot of this idiosyncratic wisdom from you in the coming weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20

"Would that life were like the shadow cast by a wall or a tree," says the Talmud. "But it is like the shadow of a bird in flight." That's a lyrical sentiment, but I don't agree with it. I've come to prefer the shimmering dance over the static stance. The ever-shifting play of light and dark is more interesting to me than the illusion of stability. I feel more at home in the unpredictable flow than in the stagnant trance of certainty. What about you, Sagittarius? I suggest that in the immediate future you cultivate an appreciation for the joys and challenges of the shimmering dance.

Nobel Prize-winning physicists Wolfgang Pauli and Niels Bohr were both amused at how counterintuitive their innovative theories seemed. Once Pauli was lecturing a group of eminent scientists about a radical new hypothesis. Bohr got out of his seat in the audience and walked up to the front to interrupt his colleague. "We all agree that your theory is crazy," Bohr told Pauli. "The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough." Pauli defended himself. "It is crazy enough!" he said. But Bohr was insistent. "It's not crazy enough!" he argued. I'm going to pose a comparable query to you, Gemini. Are your new ideas and possibilities crazy enough to be true? Make sure they are.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 You've wandered into an awkward phase of your cycle.

Missed connections have aroused confusion. Disjointed events have led to weirdness. I've got a suggestion for how you might be able to restore clarity and confidence: Make a foray into a borderland and risk imaginative acts of heroism. Does that sound too cryptic or spooky? How about if I say it like this: Go on an unpredictable quest that will free your trapped vitality, or try a mysterious experiment that will awaken your sleeping magic. P.S. For best results, ask for help every step of the way.

Gesamtkunstwerk is a German word that can be translated as "total art work" or "all-embracing art form." It refers to a creative masterpiece that makes use of several genres. The 19th-century composer Richard Wagner had this in mind when he produced his opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung, which included orchestral music, singing, theater, and literature. I'm invoking the spirit of Gesamtkunstwerk for your use, Leo. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to synthesize and coordinate all the things you do best, and express them with a flourish.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Defender was a popular video game that young people played in video arcades during the 1980s. Fifteenyear-old Steve Juraszek was profiled in Time magazine after he racked up a record-breaking 16 million points while playing the game for 16 hours straight. But when his high school principal found out that Juraszek had skipped classes to be at the arcade, he was suspended.

I'm wondering if there may soon be a similar development in your own life, Virgo. Will you have to pay a small price for your success? You should at least be prepared to risk an acceptable loss in order to accomplish an important goal.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The core of your horoscope comes from the poem "A Color of the Sky" by Tony Hoagland. Imagine that you are the "I" who is saying the following: "What I thought was an end turned out to be a middle. What I thought was a brick wall turned out to be a tunnel. What I thought was an injustice turned out to be a color of the sky."

Please understand, Capricorn, that speaking these words might not make total sense to you yet. You may have to take them on faith until you gather further evidence.

But I urge you to speak them anyway. Doing so will help generate the transformations you need in order to make them come true.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Lessons in luck are coming your way. Will they help you attract more luck? Maybe. Will they show you how to make better use of your luck? Maybe. A lot depends on your ability to understand and love the paradox of luck.

I've assembled a few enigmatic teachings to prepare you. 1. "Luck is believing you're lucky." - Tennessee Williams. 2. "It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while waiting for it." - Baltasar GraciĂĄn. 3. "Sometimes not getting what you want is a brilliant stroke of luck." - Lorii Myers. 4. "The harder I work, the luckier I get." - Samuel Goldwyn. 5. "You've got to try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it." - Jimmy Dean. 6. "Go and wake up your luck." Persian proverb.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The word "boudoir" means a woman's bedroom. But hundreds of years ago, it had a more specific definition.

It was a room where a well-bred girl was sent when she was pouting. "Boudoir" is derived from the French verb bouder, which means "to sulk." If it were in my power, Pisces, I would send you to the sulking room right now.

In fact, I would encourage you to sulk. In my opinion, a good long sulk would be just the right prescription for you. It would trigger brainstorms about how to change the soggy, foggy conditions that warranted your sulking in the first place.

They cannot continue, everywhere in town, to rake and blow everything down the street just to look busy or neat. Save water, mulch your yards, retain groundcover. This will also attract songbirds and salamanders that eat ticks, mosquitoes, snails, etc.—and feed your plants and trees. The water you keep in the ground around your house will also keep your porch cool. Be cool, save water... teach your landscapers.

BILL QUEALY | SANTA CRUZ

— ERIKA GREENE WARD

RE: ALIX TICHELMAN The woman is no paragon of womanhood. She is a criminal, engaging in criminal prostitution, drug trafficking and killing another human being. And you are worried about what they call her? She was raised by normal people, chose to do drugs, and chose to support herself not with any productive or decent work, but by selling her body for sex, often to married men. This woman is a psychopath.

Can our humanity save humanity?

It’s a human truth: Tragedy brings us together. After an earthquake or flood, we forget our incidental differences and act for each other in ways we don’t on a day-to-day basis.

Our skin color, gender, sexual orientation, and politics fall to the wayside. Our reflex to care kicks in and becomes unstoppable. But can we come together without a crisis?

Every day in our communities, research validates what we’ve all intuitively felt: simple humankindness—real, genuine connection—heals us from the inside out. Even those who care for our patients have noticed the health benefits circling back. And we each carry this power.

What if each of us could reach out in our own lives to help someone new? To offer a meal, or a shoulder? What would happen on a larger scale? How many of us would it take to turn the tide?

So I ask you, as I ask myself, our entire organization, and community leaders—could we actually change the world? This is bigger than health care. So let’s unite and see what our collective humankindness can do.

Let’s try. It would be inhuman not to.

Local martial arts master empowers students with Parkinson’s disease to recover the brain-body connection BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

B

arefoot and jumping up and down on the hardwood floor of Sensei Sithan Pat’s dojo, which he built next to his Santa Cruz home several years ago, I feel like an 8-year-old at recess.

After 45 seconds, my calves begin to say “excuse me?” but I keep bouncing, conscious of my companions: a handful of Pat’s regular students, who, unlike myself, are hardly new to tai chi and martial arts.

“Smile!” Pat reminds us, as we picture all of the stress and tightness draining from our limbs and out of our lips, which make the sound of “chiiii!” with each exhale.

“It’s like a whip—explosive—but

it doesn’t hurt your joints, because everything is from here,” says Pat, motioning to his core. “You let go, out.

It’s liberation.”

This is Fa Li, the explosion of chi, or energy, he says, in an accent inflected with French—“Fa, in Chinese, meaning to let go, and Li, meaning energy.”

After an hour spent in Pat’s Chi Power Arts session—which unfolds in various movements of increasing complexity—I do believe I leave a fair amount of balled-up stress on the dojo floor.

Fit and compact at 47 years old, Pat—who is respectfully called “Sensei” by his students—runs seven miles every morning and practices tai

chi and martial arts every day. Sitting in his home after the session, Pat explains his philosophies on healing the body and mind, on reviving one’s spirit and mastering oneself. And bit by bit, he reveals the riveting backstory that shaped him into the contradiction he is today—a sensei, or master of the highest ranking in martial arts, with a healer’s heart.

“If somebody comes to me and says ‘Sensei, I have a disease,’ I will look at him and say, ‘Yes, but you can do it,’” says Pat. “I don’t see him as a disabled person. I will treat him with compassion, but I will look at him as a person that is capable to come out of himself. And then I will treat him like

he has four feet. So in that case, I push him to do stuff that he’s afraid of.”

This is his approach to teaching Howard Sherer, 62, a local man diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease five years ago, who began working with Pat a year and a half ago, both privately and in class, four times a week.

Affecting more than one million Americans, Parkinson’s disease—the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s—is a chronic, degenerative movement disorder involving the malfunction and death of vital nerve cells in the brain. Motor signs include tremors, stiffness of the limbs and trunk and postural instability that impairs balance and coordination.

“When I laid down on the floor, my shoulders would not touch the floor, and when I raised my arms up, my forearms would not touch the floor.

Now they do,” says Sherer, speaking to me by phone from Helsinki. “So, range of motion, in terms of the stretching that we do, really has loosened up everything and really has helped out a lot. I’m not hunched over anywhere near where I was.”

Sherer was also having difficulty walking when he met Pat. “In my steps, the first step has been difficult for years, and now it’s not nearly as difficult, and sometimes not at all,” says Sherer. “The way that I get out of the frozen state is to bring my consciousness into the movement.” When leaving a stadium or auditorium, Sherer used to have to wait for everyone to leave before walking out. “Because when I’d stop, I couldn’t start again,” he says. Sherer is now able to walk in crowds.

“Howard became joyous, and he’s recovered at least 60 percent of his normal movement,” says Pat, who often stays up late thinking about ways to customize the Chi Power Arts practice to fit students’ individual needs—Sherer’s practice includes a warm-up with hard qi gong (to get the blood moving), tai chi, martial arts, then tai chi once more. “Then he goes home, the toxins go out, his spirit is back together, and he can go to Las Vegas with his wife for five days,” laughs Pat. “He is driving again. I’m so happy.”

Sherer’s success with tai chi is not

WELLNESS the idea to include fitness for a cardio workout, and tai Chi allows students to heal psychological traumas as well as injuries that may occur in martial arts and fitness. “The effectiveness in martial arts comes more with fluidity and graciousness than brutality,” says Pat. “You save your energy, and your consciousness. You are more aware of the mistakes of the other person.

Then you may be aware of your deep self and you won’t hurt the person, because you know what is the power in you already, and you will walk in peace.”

But his emphasis on knowing one’s own power and not necessarily using it draws on 30 years of using his power as a fighter. With warrior ancestry— his Chinese great-grandfather was a general in the king’s army in Cambodia—Pat learned martial arts from his father and grandfather, and continued to practice after moving from his birthplace in Cambodia to Belgium at the age of 12. At 21, Pat lived in Japan for two years, studying kyokushinkai karate—a full-contact karate practice considered by many to be the fiercest there is. Through the ’80s, Pat practiced Thai boxing, kung fu wing chun and several other forms of fighting—even sword fighting in Belgium and Holland.

“I used to make fun of tai chi when I was about 30,” he says. But after traveling to China in 2004 and studying tai chi for almost two years—including six months spent in Mongolia studying shamanism—he realized its power.

While the Western world associates tai chi with elderly people in a park, Pat says “real” tai chi incorporates running, cardio and stretching.

Pat’s elite fighting skills led him to work as a private body guard in France and the Czech Republic, and for five years as a soldier for NATO—a time of his life he does not like to talk about.

“During the army times, I never cried. I was numb, and I was emotionally not connected at all with people,” says Pat. “I always felt inside something in me that had to be something else other than this warrior in the wrong place, in the wrong situation. But actually, all of those experiences brought me to help.

I always had a healer’s heart.”

an isolated case. In a controlled study by the Oregon Research Institute, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 195 patients with mild to moderate Parkinson’s were randomly assigned twice-weekly sessions of either tai chi, resistance training or stretching. After six months, those who did tai chi saw improved balance that was two times better than the resistance-training group and four times better than the stretching group.

They also had fewer falls and slower rates of decline.

“What I notice more than anything else is that if I do not do tai chi for a week, after about three to five days without it I start deteriorating,” says Sherer. “It takes three to five days of tai chi to get better.”

Sherer credits his improvement to tai chi’s reinforcement of the mindbody connection, as the movements require focusing consciousness on specific areas of the body.

Along with intention, and le croyance in the universe of energy inside each of us, connecting us, says Pat, the movement of chi also moves toxins out of the body, including the chemicals of medications.

As a growing body of research supports tai chi as a promising addition to physical therapy for people with Parkinson’s, Pat’s following of all ages and levels of health continues to grow, too.

“Sensei Sithan is what I was looking for, because he’s a master fighter, and he’s a master tai chi artist, and he’s incorporated all of it,” says Chris, 47, a muscular surfer and martial arts fighter. “You don’t hear people talking about tai chi and martial arts [together], because they seem like they’re polar opposites.”

Diagnosed with an unknown neuromuscular disorder that keeps his muscles constantly agitated, Chris credits Pat for not only helping him improve his fight skills but also his range of motion and endurance—more effectively than any of the many physical therapies he’s tried.

Chi Power Arts, the discipline Pat has developed over the past nine years since coming to Santa Cruz, is an out-of-the-ordinary blend of fitness, tai chi, and martial arts—the latter which he incorporates to empower self confidence through self-defense skills.

Recipes for Success Foodlab cooking program combines kitchen skills, healthy eating and science in Davenport BY SALLY NEAS

S

ix fifth-grade boys—most of whom are 10, but are quick to say that they are almost 11—crowd around Emilia Miguel, the food service director at Pacific Elementary in Davenport, in the school’s small kitchen. All the boys wash their hands and put on aprons. Over shouts of “Ms. Emilia, Ms. Emilia!,” Miguel starts assigning jobs: one boy is boiling water, one boy starts scooping pasta, and another cuts parchment paper for a baking project.

Having fifth- or sixth-grade students in Pacific Elementary’s

kitchen is a daily occurrence, thanks to a program called Foodlab. Every day, with assistance from Miguel and Foodlab instructor Violi Law, they cook lunch for the entire pre-Kthrough-sixth-grade school.

“Many hands make light work,” Miguel says. “Sometimes we underestimate the ability [of kids].

As long as we don’t do that, they can do anything. They really show that in the kitchen.”

What looks like mayhem is, in fact, a well organized flow: each student is assigned to participate in Foodlab one day a week, wherein they leave their normal class for

an hour and a half and join a group of four to six other students. The students rotate through various jobs on a monthly basis.

“We have four jobs,” explains Arthur Kumalo Alms, one of the fifth-grade boys in the kitchen. “We have the prep, we have the manager, we have the cook, and we have the baker. The prep cuts vegetables, the manager gets the lunch counts and keeps time. The baker bakes stuff and the cook cooks stuff.”

For the last two months of the school year, these students plan the school menu. Miguel works to make the menus successful without >14

Would people treat the Earth better if they thought of it as a lover and not a mother? Would the environmental movement be more enticing if it were presented with more of a passion from down under?

Those are two of the questions asked by former porn star and current performance artist Annie Sprinkle and her longtime partner, UCSC art professor Beth Stephens, who will debut their “Ecosexual” drop of water float at the Santa Cruz Pride Parade on Sunday, June 7.

“We’re trying to change the metaphor from Earth as a mother to Earth as lover,” says Stephens, as she works on the giant shimmering blue drop on wheels at the UCSC art department. “We want to show that humans need to realize they are in a more mutual relationship with the Earth, rather than a domineering or controlling or separate relationship. It’s an equal relationship.”

They will show movies in their float, give short tours of its compact inside, talk about their love for the planet and pass out literature and stickers that say things like: “water gets me wet.”

The pair’s performance art has deep ecological roots. In 2008, rather than marry each other, they both married the Earth, in a ceremony at UCSC’s Shakespeare Glen. They have written a book called “Assuming the Ecosexual Position” (due out next spring), made a documentary about the destruction of part of West Virginia called Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story and have two rainbowcolorful websites, theecosexuals.org and sexecology.org.

“As far as the parade, we’re trying to have fun,” says Stephens. “We’re trying to get queers interested in environmental issues. Everyone has to drink water.”

It’s an attitude the environmental movement could use more of, she believes.

“If you look to the future and think the planet is going to collapse, it’s hopeless,” says Stephens. “How can you go into the future like that? As a professor I feel really responsible for making my students want to engage the future.

The landscapes they face may be the most difficult anyone has had to face, environmentally, economically, politically. We are trying to add

NEWS RECIPES FOR SUCCESS <13 having to alter them too much.

“There is one kid who is vegan and wanted to have vegan spanikopita, which is pretty much just spinach and tofu. So, to get the preschoolers to eat it, I went out there and tried it with them,” she says.

Trying new foods and focusing on fresh healthy produce is an important part of Foodlab. Plates filled with vibrant green salads are going out to preschoolers, who, amazingly, eat them.

“Last year there was a student in the preschool who would eat her salad every single day,” says kindergarten teacher Samira Hartje.

“So, I would say to my students, ‘You know who eats her salad every day?’ and then by the end of the year, I had students who were eating their salad every day, because it was the thing to do.”

Beyond eating more fresh produce, the program comes with a lot of education about food issues.

Every day, Miguel goes into the lunchroom and discusses topics such as nutrition, diabetes and the food system with the students.

“They understand the importance of knowing where their food comes

from,” says Miguel. “Some of them ask me what farm the strawberries come from. One student said that what he got out of Foodlab was that when a plate of food was put in front of him, we could trust it.”

That transparency is easy to come by, as the program sources most of its food locally. They get a whopping 86 percent of produce from Alba Organics, a farmer-training program in Salinas. Other sources include donations from local farms such as Jacob’s Farm and Molino Creek, Costco and their own school garden.

The school as a whole seems to rally around the program: about 75 percent of students participate by purchasing lunch, and much of the staff eats there daily. “It’s the best meal I eat all day,” explains third and fourth grade teacher Lowell Walker. “I can’t cook that well even when I have the time to.”

For the students cooking, the program offers much-needed handson learning. “It is a really relevant application of content: math skills, reading skills and history,” says Hartje. “It gets at where does your food come from, how has it been used historically. Especially as we move into common core (standards

testing), to have a real practical application of some school learning is important.”

The impacts of the program are not lost on the children. “Since I’ve done Foodlab, I’ve started cooking with my family a lot more than I ever had before,” says sixth grader Oliver Hudson.

“I’m really grateful to be in Foodlab because we get to make our own food and we don’t have to eat packaged food,” says Julien Devergranne, a fifth grade participant. “Most of the packaged food is kept in a freezer or somewhere for a really long time, and it’s usually junk food.”

Devergranne’s enthusiasm for fresh food points out a stark contrast between the eating experience at Pacific Elementary and most other schools in the county and across the country. Many public schools no longer have functional kitchens; instead, they have a central kitchen that prepares food and ships it out, or they heat packaged foods at school sites. In Watsonville, for example, two of the district’s high schools have kitchens, but none of the elementary schools do. For the elementary schools, >18

BATTERING RAMIFICATIONS

14

Just two months after a highly contentious City Council meeting about police policies for using a BearCat armored truck, President Barack Obama on May 18 announced new federal prohibitions on the transfer or purchase of “military-style” and “militarized” gear to police departments. Though the restrictions highlight certain weapons and “tracked armored vehicles,” they did not include the BearCat. Executive Order 13688, Obama’s response to nationwide protests against police killings and

militarization, also requires “additional steps” to acquire gear on a controlled equipment list—which specifically includes breaching apparatuses such as battering rams. The Santa Cruz City Council approved Department of Homeland Security funds to purchase a battering ram that will attach to the front of the Santa Cruz Police Department’s $251,000 BearCat. SCPD Lt. Bernie Escalante tells GT he had not heard about the new restrictions.

“I’m not sure how President Obama controls what local law enforcement acquires. The only way he could control that

is through the grant funding,” says Escalante.

Meanwhile, last week the Santa Cruz ACLU chapter created an online petition supporting community policing and opposing “acquisition or use by our police department of the BearCat or any other military-style vehicle or weapon.”

“Most important for us is recognizing the spirit of President Obama’s directive,” said Steve Pleich, Vice-Chair of the local ACLU chapter. “We still have an opportunity to halt and even reverse militarization of our local police force. That’s what the petition is all about.

It’s an opportunity for a second look at the issue.”

The “Send Back The BearCat” petition at change.org has been signed by 100 people, and states, “The president’s action tells local governments and police everywhere that the American people—like the people of Santa Cruz—do not wish to see military-style vehicles rolling around their town, and that the national trend toward militarization of local law enforcement must be halted and reversed … We, the People, are not the enemy. Militarized equipment sends the message that we are. Send the BearCat back now!” JOHN MALKIN

EARTH LOVER Performance artist Annie Sprinkle and her partner Beth Stephens, a UCSC art professor, have built a giant water-drop float for this year’s Santa Cruz Pride Parade, in the hopes of sparking an environmental movement that is more “fun,” less depressing.

16

DROP THAT HOSE <13 a lot of fun and humor and love to address issues that are not fun or humorous. So many approaches to the environment are depressing, so who is going to do anything about that?”

Some of the funding for the project has come from a $20,000 grant to Stephens from the Rydell Visual Arts Fund, and they plan to bring it to the San Francisco Pride Parade next, even though Stephens says it has gotten too commercial.

“I mean, honestly, I don’t think one person or group—unless they are extraordinarily wealthy—can do very much,” Stephens says.

“But if they join together, a few people can spark a movement.”

They aren’t the only new addition to Pride

this year: the whole event has changed hands, leaving the Diversity Center, which has organized it for the past 25 years of its 40-year existence.

It is now its own organization, with a website at santacruzpride.org, a different parade route, and new location for the celebration afterward.

The parade will leave from the Clock Tower at 11 a.m. and travel along Pacific Avenue to Cathcart, Cedar and Lincoln streets (the Farmers Market site), where the music, booths and events go from noon to 4 p.m.

There will be food trucks, stage shows, merchant booths, karaoke and dancing.

“The Diversity Center wants to focus on its core programs for seniors, youth, Latinos, Latinas,” says Pride director Dana Izzo, who describes the split with the Diversity Center as

amicable. The Center is still a sponsor of the parade and will have a booth there. “This gives Pride an opportunity to go out on its own.”

She says Pride parades in other cities have their own nonprofit organizations and her goal is to raise enough funds to pay some of the volunteers who work all year to put the parade together.

“This is a rebirth for us,” says Izzo.

The theme of this year’s annual celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community is “transforming, transitioning and transcending,” something that represents both the community and the new direction of the gathering.

With a turnout of more than 6,000 people, it is the largest Pride gathering on the

Central Coast. The entertainment includes a reimagined Rat Pack and boy band quartet from Oakland called the Singing Bois, doing new takes on barbershop, pop, R&B, doo-wop and jazz standards.

Honorees include grand marshalls Jennifer Hastings, M.D. and Alejandra Santiago.

Hastings founded the Transgender Health Care Program in 2005, and Santiago is the transgender woman who launched the transgender program at the Westside Health Center.

The parade will also honor Alisun Thompson, the newly elected school board member for Santa Cruz City Schools, and Rev. Tino Cordova, the only openly gay reverend in Watsonville, who has fought for LGBTQ rights.

everything has to be prepared at a central kitchen, sealed and shipped to school sites. They are not even legally allowed to chop up fruits and vegetables at the elementary schools because of food safety standards.

“Pacific Elementary is a small school that is lucky enough to have a lot of parent involvement,” says Allie Hoffman, who works for the Community Alliance for Family Farmers (CAFF) in Watsonville.

Hoffman works closely with school districts to strengthen the bonds between school food programs and local farmers.

“The Watsonville school district serves food at 31 school sites, whereas there is only one in Davenport, plus Watsonville schools also serve breakfast. It really comes down to scale and resources.”

Hoffman runs the Harvest of the Month program, which brings in a new seasonal fruit or vegetable for schoolchildren to try. The educational efforts of CAFF are much needed in schools across the state. With obesity and diabetes on the rise, there is a national push to offer healthier school lunch options.

A new law was recently passed that requires schools to serve more fresh fruits and vegetables.

“Schools now have to offer a lot more fresh fruits and vegetables, which is great, and students are required to take them, but so much of it ends up in the garbage,” says Hoffman. “You have to have the education around the foods as well.”

Hoffman reports that one study found that the consumption of healthier food more than doubled when served in the cafeteria since the program started.

Despite the barriers, staff at Pacific Elementary see the potential impact the program could have in other schools.

“It could really transform the public school food system,” says Hartje. “It doesn’t have to be five cooks in a kitchen reheating food.

It could be five cooks in a kitchen sharing their knowledge of food and taking ownership of it.”

"We’ve We cut ourselves off from m many of the things we’ve wanted be ecause we didn't want to pay th he price for those things,” says Prrimack. “The reason we don’t ha ave grreat public space in downtown att this point is because, as a co ommunity, through g our individu ual ac ctions and through our political ac ctions, we haven’t supported it.""

If all goes according to plan, ho owever, Santa Cruz will soon ha ave a public space that will mak ke m curbside lunches unnecessary my y an nd give locals a place to gather, ce elebrate, hang out, create, eat an nd drrink.

Abbott Square, the underutilize ed sllab of concrete between Cooper Sttreet and the Museum of Art & H History (MAH) entrance, is being g trransformed into a public plaza.

W With tables and seating, live mussic an nd performances, a Secret Garde en

for children, commun nity events, and a public market with w food and drinks,, the square q cou uld be p poised to become the new town n center.

The seed of the idea for the Abbott Square renovation wass planted not long after ft Nina Simon came on as executive director of th he MAH in 2011.

As Simon reshaped the e museum, tripling attendance in the process, she and her team wond dered how they could extend that excittement beyond the museum walls.

When they produce ed “Glow: a Festival of Lights,” in Abbott Square, they saw how people and a art could take over the plaza an nd create an important space for th he entire community.

“You Yo can't build com mmunity behind the walls of a museum,” m Simon says. “If we can n take the creativity and the ene ergy and the community-buildiing that's happening inside the museum m and put it out in a pub blic space like Abbott Square, th hat’s going to completely change ou ur ability to execute our mission and a really to change the culture of downtown.”

everral times a week, I eat lunc ch on a curb rb on Lincoln Stre eet. It’s a high g curb, but I’m pretty sure it still qualifies fi as a curb. It’s not that I want to eat on a currb rb, it’s just that it’s the best place I’ve e found to sit down, get some fresh airr, and watch Santa Cruz go by. On We Wed dnesdays, the adjacent parking lot be ecomes a thriving public space with the e farmers market, people eating and vissiting, musicians, and kids dancing. But, like Brigadoon, it vanishes at th he end of the day.

He argues that we have a clim mate that’s not conducive to long hours spent s hanging out in outdoor public c spaces—especially in the evening. There’s T also the fact that many ny people who w work rk in Santa Cruz live in the subu urbs, rb and many ny people who live in San nta Cruz commute out of the area forr work.

When the MAH staff started making plans to transform and activate Abbott Square, they thought it would be as an extension of museum programming—in other words, that they would take what was happening inside the museum outside. To determine what that might look like, the MAH brought in the Project for Public Spaces, a New York-based nonprofit organization that supports the creation of community-focused public places, and turned to the community for input. Through a series of public meetings and events, they tapped into what community members said they wanted to see in the space.

The initial events were anythinggoes idea-generation sessions with nothing off limits. Suggestions ranged from the relatable (more places to sit) to the out-there (a zipline) to the out-there-but-kindof-awesome (a chocolate pool)— and everything in-between. But a surprising theme emerged.

“We had been thinking about

Abbott Square as a great front porch for the museum,” says Simon, “as a place to take museum programming out, to invite people in. What we heard through this process was just the incredible hunger in Santa Cruz for a public plaza.”

To fill that void, the plan for Abbott Square shifted from adding on a MAH extension to creating a modern update of the traditional city plaza, complete with performances, food and events.

PHASE IN THE CROWD The three-phase plan for the Abbott Square renovation is well under way. The first phase, which officially opens on Friday, June 5, is a redesigned reflective entrance to the MAH; an enormous, circular sculpture titled “Beacon” created by artist Tim Phillips of Gyroscope Inc.; and an ongoing series of programming in the square including silent discos, succulent swaps, makers markets, weekly

SANTA CRUZ SQUARED

As a community space, it’s vital that Abbott Square be family-friendly. During community input events, Simon heard time and again from families in the county that don’t feel comfortable downtown. These families are, Simon says, “taking their energy and dollars to other communities where they feel there’s a safer, or more welcoming, downtown experience.” <22 Simon is confident MAH administrators can use the skills they've learned inside the museum as a guide to figure out how to build a strong community in the square.

As far as practical details, they’re designing seating and thinking about art “in a way that will not be conducive to a ton of vandalism or illegal or dangerous camping.” But Simon says that, more importantly, they’re thinking about how to ensure that at almost every hour of the day there's somebody using the space in a joyful and positive way.

“Positive use and human activity is the absolute best signal that a place is welcoming and safe,” she says. “It doesn't take crazy electronic systems or Draconian measures if you can just ensure that there are a lot of people using the space.”

The MAH will handle programming in the square, and McEnery will oversee the public market aspect. McEnery understands that the public space aspect is critical to the MAH, and the market is being designed for the entire community—not just those who purchase food.

“We have a partnership that I think is going to be great,” says McEnery. “We pull in a lot of the art and history aspects of Santa Cruz, and coupled with this great foodie culture and market, I think we can really do some unique things.”

26>

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JUNE 3-9, 2015

yoga classes, music, performances, and a pilot food truck program on First Fridays.

The second phase, scheduled for early- to mid-2016, is a public market on the ground floor of the McPherson Center. Developed by John P. McEnery IV, a real estate developer who developed San Pedro Square Market in San Jose and whose family has lived in Santa Cruz since the 1940s, the indoor market will house five food vendors, a chef incubator offering short leases to emerging chefs, and a bar. This phase will also see reconstruction of the plaza to expand the deck.

The third phase, to be completed next summer, is a fully renovated plaza with an ongoing schedule of performances, activities and events.

Like the San Pedro Square Market, Abbott Square will be a privately owned public space. As such, the MAH has freedom to manage the space as they see fit. The vision is to create a busy, activated space, which Simon says is the best deterrent to crime, vandalism and vagrancy.

“The number one thing that makes public space work is active management,” says Simon. “You can read that in Orwellian terms, and it sounds like security guards 24/7, or you can read it in arts and museum terms and think about having friendly staff and creative activities going on such that you have diverse use all the time.”

BIG DRAW The MAH hopes to draw families to Abbott Square with events and a

welcoming environment.

<25 As a community space, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital that Abbott Square be familyfriendly. During community input events, Simon heard time and again from families in the county that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable downtown.

These families are, Simon says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;taking their energy and dollars to other communities where they feel thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safer, or more welcoming, downtown experience.â&#x20AC;?

By including an outdoor, free, urban play destination, the square could draw some of those families downtown. To do so, plans are being made for a Secret Garden for children, complete with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;major interactive component.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be a green space, a place of natural refuge in the urban downtown,â&#x20AC;? says Simon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it needs to be a place that kids walk into and their eyes light up.â&#x20AC;?

For programming in the garden, the MAHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth programing team plans to partner with the Parks and Recreation department, the library, and other groups to create familyoriented activities.

The Abbott Square project has received what Simon calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;great supportâ&#x20AC;? from both the City and County. "It's going to be a fantastic

space,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're always looking for places for the community to gatherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for big events, but also smaller events and just to encounter one another."

About $4 million of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $5 million budget has already been raisedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;primarily from donors, foundations, individuals and corporations. Raising the last million remains a challenge. Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope is that they can raise the funds through small donations from community members. Doing so, she explains, will give the community a sense of ownership of the square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When this whole project opens next summer,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to walk on the plaza and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whoa, where did this come from?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gee, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice that somebody else did this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I want people to really feel like we did this. This is our place in Santa Cruz for the whole community to come together.â&#x20AC;?

which leads to the question: why don’t we have more of it? We’re surrounded by natural beauty, but good luck if you want to sit down and eat your sandwich outside.

We have a string of benches along Pacific Avenue, but only one or two people can sit on them at a time. While San Lorenzo Park and the Louden Nelson Center have their charms, they’re not exactly downtown destinations—especially for families. We have outdoor seating at restaurants all along Pacific Avenue, but it’s reserved for restaurant patrons.

Before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the old Cooper House was the creative heart of downtown.

A vibrant indoor/outdoor public space, gathering spot and cultural hub, it was a thriving public space.

But the building was demolished after the earthquake, and nothing emerged to replace it as the town center.

Architect Primack says that in order for public space to become a priority, there needs to be a critical mass of people who can easily access it. This is often the result of having housing nearby, which brings up an issue Primack is passionate about: Santa Cruz wants to be a sustainable city with great public spaces, but we are resistant to increasing the density downtown.

“We’re going through a process now, with the planning commission, to put our money where our mouth is,” says Primack. “We have such a knee-jerk reaction in the county to higher-rise and higher-density housing. We have to really look at our rules and really confront the conflicts we have. We want an active downtown, but we don’t want taller buildings. Well, I’m sorry, but you can’t have one without the other.”

Proponents of bringing higher density housing to downtown Santa Cruz are looking at the south end of Pacific Avenue as a possible location to build mixed-use, high-density buildings. The Transit District is creating a new, mixed-use METRO Pacific Station with retail and housing.

Barry Swenson Builder is building a

94-unit, high-density housing complex below Beach Hill, where Front Street and Pacific Avenue meet. Jesse L. Nickell III, the vice president of construction and development for Barry Swenson Builder, stresses the importance of having mixed-use areas in a downtown.

“To have a downtown thrive,” Nickell says, “there has to be an equilibrium between people living there, and working there, and shopping there. They have to co-mingle.”

Santa Cruz land-use consultant Owen Lawlor would like to build mixed-use buildings between the METRO station and Laurel Street.

He recently asked the Planning Commission to consider allowing higher and more intense building in that area. Primack says it’s a classic case of having a planning department being reactive rather than proactive.

“Instead of having a plan in place to direct development,” he says, “we wait for developers to pressure us to update our plans.”

In addition to these attempts to increase housing density, there are several other plans in place to try and create a more sustainable, thriving downtown. Organizations like the Coastal Watershed Council and the Ebb & Flow River Arts Project are working to improve the San Lorenzo River and the adjacent bike and pedestrian path—to shake the area’s reputation as “Heroin Highway” and recreate it as the RiverWalk. Through cleanups, river education, art installations and community events, they are activating the area as a public space.

Mayor Don Lane recently declared June to be San Lorenzo River Month, and on Saturday, June 10, Ebb & Flow hosts an unveiling of 10 new arts projects along the path (see page 32).

On a smaller scale, Santa Cruz will soon be home to parking spot miniparks known as parklets. The first proposed parklets, in front of Hula’s Island Grill and Lúpulo Craft Beer House, will be privately owned and managed. The Downtown Commission

We’re a little behind the curve in setting the table for it, but there’s some exciting stuff happening.”

RE-INVENTING THE ABBOTTS This is not the first time there has been a push to improve downtown Santa Cruz’s public space. Before 1969, it was a runof-the mill main street. That was when photographers Chuck and Esther Abbott spearheaded a plan to beautify and enliven the street by reinventing it as the Pacific Garden Mall. They oversaw a downtown cleanup, the restoration of old buildings, and the addition of hundreds of trees, planters and places to sit. Rebuilding after the Loma Prieta earthquake changed the face of downtown once again, but downtown has long been missing a defining central gathering spot—a heart of the city. Simon thinks Abbott Square could be such a place.

has recommended a year-long pilot program for the parklets, and Chip, the executive director of the Downtown Association, thinks the private parklets could lead to public parklets.

“We’re able to do this because the businesses are going to pay for it, and take responsibility for it, so they need to make money from it,” says Chip. “If we had public funds to do it, it would be different, but right now, we don’t. There may be a way in the future that revenue from the [private] parklet program could pay for a public one.”

Increasing downtown density and turning parking spots into parklets makes one wonder where people will park their cars. The green scenario is that more people walk, bike, and take the bus into town. Actualizing this scenario is no small task, but it’s being furthered with the plans to renovate the METRO Pacific Station.

The aim, according to the METRO website, is for the station to “improve the urban fabric” of lower Pacific Avenue and Front Street and enhance the viability and attractiveness of the downtown, which could potentially catalyze further development along the southern end of Pacific Avenue.

Abbott Square, the RiverWalk, parklets, a new METRO station—it all paints a nice picture of Santa Cruz as an activated, sustainable city, with great public spaces. How it all comes together remains to be seen, but it’s an exciting time to be in Santa Cruz.

HOT TICKET

“It’s this wonderful circle of life that they give up their bodies to be able to provide for the next generation,” explains local artist Heidi Cramer, who pays homage to the San Lorenzo River Coho with her sculpture in the Ebb & Flow River Arts Project celebrations starting June 5.

The idea behind Ebb & Flow is to engage locals in celebrating, remembering and revitalizing the river. For months, artists from all different media have been working toward the June 5 debut, which will unveil riverfront sculptures, local film works, an aerial dance off the Soquel Avenue bridge, Bay

Area group Bandaloop performing off the Tannery walls, talks on local wildlife and a lighting ceremony.

Creating a cycle of her own, Cramer scavenged local fish markets for Coho parts and mixed them together with silt from the San Lorenzo to make into smaller fish models, as part of her >34

<32 kinetic sculpture for the Ebb & Flow Kinetic Sculpture Parade on June 6. At the end of the parade, she’ll gift the fry back to the San Lorenzo—continuing the nutrient cycle to encourage future growth of the endangered species.

“I thought it was very poetic to take these bodies that were going to be consumed by us and blending them, drying them, mixing them with clay and then offering it back to the river. It’s an exercise for people to feel the joy in giving back to our river—like a rain dance for the return of the next generation of fish.”

According to the 20122013 report from the Nature Conservancy’s California Salmon Snapshots, Coho numbers were at a mere 16 for the entire river compared to the “target population” of 3,800.

“They’re the canary in the gold mine, saying that something is terribly wrong,” says Cramer.

“We need to pay attention, or the species will be gone forever as a direct result of our interactions with the San Lorenzo and our misuse of this beautiful and natural resource.”

Cramer’s kinetic sculpture features a 4-by-4-foot Coho fish head made of recycled newspaper, flour and water, with its river tail made of colorful fabric to be carried, danced (it’s kinetic, after all) and brought to life by local volunteers. As part of the First Friday Ebb & Flow, volunteers will be invited to put the whole sculpture together in preparation for Saturday’s Kinetic Sculpture Parade along the river to the Tannery, throughout which 10 new temporary sculptures will be unveiled along the waterfront.

Brainchild of Michelle Williams, the Art Council’s director, Ebb & Flow began as a way to get locals reinvested in the river, not only with conservation efforts but also to reclaim it as an enjoyable space.

“The arts can be used to address a lot of the things that go on in our community in a way that brings our community together. We’re a town of uniqueness, but sometimes the uniqueness gets in the way of coming to the table to work on

things together, and I think this project has really done that,” says Sally Green, the Development and Communications Director for the Santa Cruz Arts Council which is behind Ebb & Flow.

“I like the idea of, instead of building something new, taking the resources that we have and enhancing them.”

It’s become mostly a foot and bike traffic highway, says Green, and people generally avoid spending too much time near the water because of the negative use it attracts—although having the highest septic system density of any comparable area in the state, according to the County, might have something to do with it too.

“The river runs through the heart of our city but the city has sort of turned its back on it,” says Green.

The current drought is all the more reason to use our local water sources carefully and strategically, says Green—but also enjoy them while they’re still available.

“Maybe when people are washing their hands they’ll think, ‘Oh wow, I’m draining that— draining this home for local birds and fish, it becomes personal,” says Green. “We want the community to own this project as much as we want them to own the river. This is our love letter to the river and to the community.”

As part of the First Friday Ebb & Flow festivities, UCSC Digital Arts and New Media graduate and freelance artist Danielle Williamson will project her short film “Go As a River” under the Soquel Avenue bridge on Friday. It’s a close-up shot of the water with audio of locals sharing their memories of the river floating in and out.

“The whole thing is intended to be played in a public space so that anyone can see it and contemplate not only their own relationship to the river but also to the water supply, to public spaces, and to each other,” says Williamson.

“People build around bodies of fresh water to survive; we wouldn't exist without the river.”

Ebb & Flow begins Friday, June 5, 5 p.m., Cooper St., Santa Cruz. artscouncilsc.org.

GREEN DESIGN Benny Green plays the Kuumbwa on Monday, June 8. PHOTO: R.R. JONES

Green Room

Pianist Benny Green has grown up with the Kuumbwa, but even after 35 years of shows, he’s still a revelation BY ANDREW GILBERT McBride, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, saxophonist Joshua Redman, and drummer Eric Harland, Green was the senior cat. He didn’t exactly steal the show, but amidst his fire-breathing juniors he played with such fierce energy, deep soul, and exquisite intelligence that it was like witnessing him gracefully accept the mantle of elder statesman in a building that has seen the unfolding of his entire career.

It’s hard to overstate how much history Green shares with Kuumbwa.

The venue was only a few years old when he made his first appearance there as an ostentatiously gifted Berkeley High student accompanying Finnish-born trumpeter Mike Koskinen in 1980—two decades or

so younger than veteran players like saxophonist Hadley Caliman and bassist Chris Amberger.

“I was the kid for sure,” says Green, 52, who returns to Kuumbwa with his trio on Monday, June 8, celebrating the release of a stellar new album recorded at Kuumbwa, Benny Green – Live in Santa Cruz! (Sunnyside Records).

“I used to pester everyone and ask them about records, and what they thought about everyone’s playing, and who influenced who,” Green recalls.

“I remember it was so great playing with them. They swung and had a wonderful sound, and the piano was a joy.”

For his follow-up visit to Kuumbwa, Green drove down from Berkeley with

hen Kuumbwa Jazz Center celebrated its 40th anniversary in April with an all-star “Dream Band” featuring some of jazz’s biggest names, the evening’s revelation was pianist Benny Green, who was also the musician with the most history on that bandstand.

That might sound contradictory, but Green has spent much of the past two decades performing in trio and duo settings. The rare opportunity to hear him with a larger band offered a dazzling glimpse of a commanding improviser thriving in the give and take of a well-acquainted but ad hoc ensemble.

On stage with bassist Christian

a friend to catch his teacher—the late beloved Santa Cruz pianist Smith Dobson—playing a gig with tenor sax great Eddie Harris. A year later, he was back in the club, and this time he was on stage with a bona fide jazz legend.

Like many of his peers in that first generation who graduated from the Berkeley public school system’s innovative jazz education program in the late 1970s and early ’80s, Green decided to plunge directly into the New York scene rather than enroll at Berklee College of Music or some other top-shelf music school. He made the move in 1982 and landed a succession of gigs more demanding and rigorous than anything he could have found in a classroom.

Before long he was recruited

by Betty Carter, who was in the early phase of turning her band into an essential proving ground for a generation of brilliant young musicians. During the four years he spent with the daring and demanding vocalist, he traveled back to the Bay Area with her at least once a year for tours that always included a gig at Kuumbwa.

I first caught Green at Kuumbwa in the late 1980s with a talent-laden edition of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. After he finished the drummer’s Ph.D. program in hard bop, he took over what was arguably jazz’s most imposing piano chair with bassist Ray Brown, filling a spot previously held by Oscar Peterson, Monty Alexander and Gene Harris.

Green marked his 30th birthday with a memorable night at Kuumbwa, a concert immortalized on the 1993 Ray Brown Trio album Bass Face (Telarc Jazz). And now he’s returning to this most familiar of venues once again as the tried and true veteran leading a band of rising stars.

“For the most part, what I want to play is hard bop,” Green says. “I don’t want to live in a bubble, and I don’t want to limit myself. I’m very influenced by Stevie Wonder, but I’m deeply inspired by the 1950s and ’60s, just the attitudes inherent in the music and how the musicians played with each other to achieve a feeling.”

DANNY ON THE SPOT Danny Mayer’s On The Spot Trio plays the Catalyst Atrium on Wednesday, June 10.

Shredding His Skin

T

uesday funk night at the Crepe Place is one of those underground Santa Cruz secrets that is awesomely off the grid. UCSC students and locals mash it up on the small dance floor, grooving to the funk of bands like 7 Come 11. Sweaty and tightly packed, this tribal ritual has been happening for almost a decade.

It was a Tuesday in 2006 that a young guitarist named Danny Mayer led his On the Spot Trio for the first time, destroying jazz/ funk leads up and down his guitar frets with a kinetic energy that

cast sparks off his Gibson 339.

That was the beginning of Tuesday funk night at the Crepe Place, and of Mayer’s musical odyssey.

“When Danny started playing the Crepe Place, he would tell me that he would go home and play six or eight hours a day,” says Crepe Place co-owner Adam Bergeron.

“He talked often about how the Crepe Place was his crucible—and gaining confidence about letting it all hang out on guitar.”

Things moved fast for Mayer.

Alan Evans, one of the brothers who makes up East Coast funk band Soulive, did studio work on

the OTS Trio’s debut album and became entranced with Mayer’s playing. Evans then asked Mayer to join his solo project, the Alan Evans Trio, and Mayer left Santa Cruz with keyboardist Kris Yunker to tour in wider circles. Mayer says that while it was an amazing experience to be in Alan Evans’ band, it wasn’t meant to be.

“Our van kept breaking down. We went through five transmissions in eight months,” says Mayer. “It began to feel like the universe was working against us.” Bands subsist on gigs and money, and with an increasing

The On The Spot Trio plays with the New Mastersounds at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, in the Catalyst Atrium in Santa Cruz.

Tickets $18/advance, $22/door.

From the Crepe Place’s Tuesday funk night to national touring, guitarist Danny Mayer has made his name BY DNA

economic hardship, the Alan Evans Trio folded amicably.

Mayer is now back as the bandleader of the OTS Trio, and the rotating crew recently got to open up for the Tedeschi/Trucks Band.

For six nights, Mayer set up his amp next to Duane Allman’s ’59 Les Paul and Marshall half-stack that Derek Trucks was using at the shows.

“Derek is like the lineage holder of the Allman Brothers,” says Mayer. “We would be playing, and half of them would be dancing their asses off. It was intimidating and awesome. There is nothing like taking a guitar solo and seeing Derek Trucks smiling at you.”

From the road, Mayer, now playing a white Fender Stratocaster, is soaking it all in.

“We’re playing a one-off tonight at Garcia’s at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York,” says Mayer. “It was the home of so many good Grateful Dead shows.

The owner Pete Shapiro is like the new Bill Graham. He owns all the Brooklyn Bowls and is booking the Dead reunion tour.”

Summertime means festivals, and OTS Trio will be playing at fests like the Catskill Chill Music Festival outside of New York City. “There are so many hardhitting, heavy-touring bands in the Northeast and there is a great camaraderie,” says Mayer.

“It’s like a chitlin’ circuit, where everyone is playing the same clubs and everyone knows everybody.

It’s a tight community with a lot of support where everyone wants to be helpful and not hurtful.”

Mayer is excited to be coming back to Santa Cruz. “I’m a much better guitar player than when I left Santa Cruz,” says Mayer. “And we are excited to be opening for the New Mastersounds, a four-piece jazz fusion and funk band from Leeds, England.”

Will there also be a surprise Crepe Place appearance? “You’ll have to show up to see,” Mayer hints.

The singular thing about losing a parent is that there is no dress rehearsal.

Even losing them sequentially, there is a kaleidoscope of emotions around those two individuals that is varied in tone, angles, depth and complexity.

One can intellectualize about their feelings around their parents, whether they are loving, antagonistic, melancholy, raging, deeply connected or even neutral, but when the call comes, that your Mom or Dad have arrived at or near heaven’s gate, something odd and visceral that you can’t explain moves through you.

In a world of ongoing change where one thing replaces another at rapacious speed, there is no changing this life event. The weight of that absolute sort of hangs in your soul: both a conclusion and an invitation to look at your own mortality.

If your parents are still with you, this will not make much sense.

You will have lots of mental strategies on how you will cope. They will crumble under the weight of seeing this life you have known longer than any other extinguished.

If you are caring now for an older parent that is lucid, do all you can to bring depth to the time you spend. Even if that is just banter about which vegetable to pick out at the market, do it mindfully, carefully, like laying a small stone atop a wavering column of bricks.

Focus.

If your parent has lost memory and reason, this is a harder course we will discuss later. So many emotional trip wires here.

She’ll remember the moment she graduates.

INDIE

DAVID DONDERO David Dondero’s unrecognized genius is summed up with two words: clever and sincere. Over the past couple of decades, as he’s toured and released albums to very little attention, he’s kept this delicate songwriting balancing act going, weaving detailed, cleverly penned narratives, in an honest, emotionally raw way.

NPR named him one of the 10 best living songwriters in 2006, alongside Dylan, McCartney and Tom Waits, and Conor Oberst has admitted that

he basically learned everything he knows from Dondero—including his quavering vibrato. As Oberst moved more into emo-indie-pop, Dondero has stayed a folksy troubadour with twinges of blues and country— ambitious in concept, but simple in execution.

ERIC LINDELL Eric Lindell may be known for his laid-back bluesy R&B grooves, but that wasn’t always the case. The young musician got his start at 15 in the Bay Area, while obsessed with Black Flag, and then hopped around first to New York, then in 1999 to New Orleans.

There, he dug deep into roots music, and eventually perfected a blend of blues, soul, and swamp-rock that brings to mind Van Morrison. And, like Morrison, his raw, gritty voice is his greatest asset. Lindell jumped in the international market in 2006 when he was signed to Alligator Records, on which he released three albums.

He’s since returned to smaller labels, but continues to tour and sing about heartbreak full time. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

circuit. But then last year singer Rudy Colombini (who does a spoton Jagger) brought in a bunch of professionals to back him—musicians who’ve played with Huey Lewis & the News, Whitesnake, Ted Nugent, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Whitney Houston and others. Of course each guy he casts plays a specific Rolling Stones member, and they really do look, move and sound like the Stones. It’s a little spooky—in a good way. AARON CARNES

What do you get when you take a guitar-slinging Punch Brother and co-founder of the Infamous Stringdusters, and pair him up with a standout jazz guitarist of the Bay Area?

An extraordinary duo comprising Chris Eldridge and Julian Lage that the New Yorker called “superlative.” Narrowing the divide between bluegrass and jazz, these guys create a musical landscape where inventiveness lies around every bend, and top-notch picking comes with the territory. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

ECSTATIC FRENZY Paul Dano plays a young Brian Wilson in Bill Pohlad’s ‘Love & Mercy.’

Strife Of Brian JUNE 3-9, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Absorbing story, great music in biopic ‘Love & Mercy’ BY LISA JENSEN

60

T

he problem with so many rock ’n’ roll biographical movies is the sin of admission. There’s so much material that the filmmakers don’t know how to be selective, and so they try to cram in everything. The first dream of fame, the long slog to stardom and the inevitable fall, sex and drugs, personal dramas, romance, marital strife—it all goes by in a blur while there’s hardly any time to appreciate the music.

Not so in Love & Mercy, the generally absorbing fiction film about the often-amazing life and harrowing times of Brian Wilson, founder of the Beach Boys. The first feature film directed by longtime producer Bill Pohlad (whose producing credits

include 12 Years A Slave, and Brokeback Mountain), it narrows its focus to two pivotal moments in the life of its subject. As these two parallel stories play out, the larger picture of fame, fortune, and psychological turmoil emerges, but by keeping Wilson’s evolving psyche in the forefront, the movie rarely feels fragmented. And it’s all connected by the music, a fabulous, gluttonous feast of Wilson music from surf tunes to Smile that informs every single scene.

Paul Dano is terrific playing the younger Brian. In the mid-1960s, at the height of his creative genius (and irrationally terrified of flying), he decides to stop touring with the rest of the Beach Boys, hole up in the studio, and start producing the

cycle of extraordinary songs that will become the celebrated Pet Sounds album. John Cusack is also effective playing the older Brian. In the mid1980s, he’s an over-medicated zombie under the thumb of controlling Hollywood psychotherapist Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti). But he gets a shot at redemption in a Cadillac showroom where he unexpectedly clicks with pretty saleswoman Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks).

No, Dano and Cusack look nothing like each other, and it beggars credibility for a few minutes that one might ever morph into the other. But Dano does look a lot like the younger Wilson, with his lank, mid-1960s pudding-bowl haircut. And Cusack taps into the same vibe of emotional

turbulence—innocent, gauche, and fleetingly desperate—that gives the film portrait continuity.

Working with a cogent script by Oren Moverman and Michael Alan Lerner, Pohlad establishes the early Beach Boys surf music phenomenon in a brisk opening montage of hit songs, photo ops, live concerts and TV appearances. (The grainy, saturated images look completely vintage.) Cut to the furtive, yet still oddly charming older Brian flirting with Melinda in that Caddy showroom—until their brief tête-à-tête is interrupted

by Dr. Landy and his henchmen “bodyguards,” who dog Brian’s every step.

The film continues to alternate between these two tracks. We see the younger Brian at work from Pet Sounds through “Good Vibrations,” moving away from surf music and meticulously composing tracks in the studio while coping with his horrible, abusive father (Bill Camp), risking antagonism from his bandmates and altering his mind on LSD. By far, the most entertaining scenes are in the studio, when Brian is laying down complex musical tracks to songs like “God Only Knows,” “Caroline, No,” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” with the veteran L.A. studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, while the rest of the band (who will add vocals later) are off on tour. Brian’s creative energy is infectious as he drives himself to replicate every detail of the sounds he hears in his head, whether using cellos as a rhythm section, or painstakingly plucking piano strings with a bobby pin.

The ’80s scenes are never quite as compelling. On the other hand, Pohlad wisely steers clear of the mental breakdown period that connected these two eras in Wilson’s real life. We may not understand Wilson’s fragile personality much better at film’s end, but we appreciate even more the ecstatic frenzy that produced his most innovative music.

LOVE & MERCY ***(out of four) With Paul Dano, John Cusack, Paul Giamatti, and Elizabeth Banks. Written by Oren Moverman and Michael Alan Lerner. Directed by Bill Pohlad. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated PG-13. 120 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ENTOURAGE Once upon a time there was an HBO series that everyone agreed was good, but not quite as good as The Sopranos. But it did have Jeremy Piven as agent Ari Gold, and after the show was over everybody kind of missed seeing him play that guy, so that’s probably why we now have an Entourage movie.

The whole gang is back as we once again follow Adrian Grenier’s Vince, who is apparently still chasing fame and fortune in Hollywood. (R) 104 minutes. Starts Friday.

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3 Now with 60 percent more insidiousness!

Unlike the other films in this series of low-budget horror hits, though, this prequel isn’t about the Lambert family and their haunting problems.

Instead, it has the psychic character Elise Rainier saving a different family from the supernatural. (PG-13) 97 minutes. Starts Friday.

SAINT LAURENT As one of history’s most iconic fashion designers, Yves Saint Laurent was a man cloaked in as much perfumed mystery and lustrous allure as his creations.

Chronicling his life from 1967 to 1976, this biography drama film stars Gaspard Ulliel as the master artist and depicts a man grappling with his own legacy, a prisoner of his own genius. Bertrand Bonello directs. Gaspard Ulliel, Jérémie Renier and Louis Garrel co-star. (R) 150 minutes. Starts Friday.

SPY Melissa McCarthy plays a suave, cold-as-ice secret agent in this film from writer-director Paul Feig. Just kidding! She’s goofy and loveable again, and Feig is doing his same action-comedy shtick from

The Heat, only for spy movies. Jude Law and Jason Statham co-star. (R) 120 minutes. Starts Friday.

WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE Based on the novel by Joan G.Robinson, director Hiromasa Yonebayashi's latest Japanese anime film follows 12-year old Anna Sasaki who one day collapses at school from an asthma attack. In response, her parents send her to the countryside where Anna meets Marnie, and an unlikely friendship forms. (PG) 103 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: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) You haven’t seen Nazis melt until you’ve seen them melt in this groundbreaking action film from Steven Spielberg that set the standard for vintage-hero-cool. Its sheer awesomeness will make you hate the infamously lame “nuke the fridge” scene in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull all the more. (SP) At the Del Mar, Friday-Saturday midnight only.

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

NOW PLAYING THE 100 YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED This darkly absurdist Swedish comedy, based on an international bestseller, follows an iconoclastic senior who sneaks out of a nursing home for one last adventure, while reflecting on his Forrest Gump-like participation in famous cultural and political moments from his century of life.

Robert Gustafsson stars for director Felix Herngren. (R) 114 minutes.

ALOHA Bradley Cooper stars in this romantic comedy-drama from Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) about a military contractor returning home to Hawaii to find

an old girlfriend—but finds himself falling for the female Air Force officer assigned to watch him. Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, and Alec Baldwin co-star. (PG-13) 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.

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.

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.

(PG-13) 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.

IRIS Less is definitely not more for Iris Apfel. A fixture on the New York City design scene for over sixty 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 matter-of-fact demeanor, wry wit, and easy laugh, she’s a thoroughly beguiling subject for this entertaining doc. This last film completed by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles is a buoyant adventure in celebrating life.

(PG-13) 80 minutes. (***1/2) —Lisa Jensen.

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 co-stars for director Andy Fickman. (PG) 94 minutes.

POLTERGEIST The old Steven Spielberg horror classic gets a makeover in this update. Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt star as the parents whose little daughter starts to bond with aliens oozing into the household via the TV. Jared Harris co-stars for director Gil Kenan (Monster House; City of Ember).

(PG-13) 93 minutes.

SAN ANDREAS Dwayne Johnson stars in the first big disaster movie of the summer season, as a chopper pilot on a mission to save his daughter after the famous fault line goes kablooey and rips up the state of California. Carla Guigino, Alexandra Daddario, and Ioan Gruffudd co-star for director Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island). (PG-13) 114 minutes.

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 placed 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.

FOOD & DRINK fries, with wagyu beef-cheek gravy and cheese curds. Sounds fabulous, Canadian or not. There’s more, but you need to run upstairs to Motiv’s atmospheric wood-lined room and find out for yourself. You can enjoy Motiv’s new food menu starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, and 2 p.m. on Saturday.

J

ust started up this week is the always tempting Market Cart at the foot of the UCSC campus. Open for the summer—noon to 6 p.m., every Tuesday and Friday—the outdoor mini-market features freshly harvested, organic produce and gorgeous flowers grown at the UCSC Farm & Garden. The Market Cart is located at the corner of Bay and High streets. Opening day shoppers will find a spring selection of colorful crops, including organically grown strawberries, blueberries, salad mix and romaine, along with bok choy, arugula and Meyer lemons.

Much more will be available as the season progresses—through October (weather permitting).

MOTIV-ATED BY BAR APPS Any minute now the newly expanded Soif will be re-opened to show off owner Patrice Boyle’s new bar and retail renovations. But there’s another exciting chapter to the changes happening downtown. Some of the cooks from Soif began cooking up an all-new short menu of plates to enjoy while sipping cocktails at Motiv.

Enterprising Motiv owner Mike Pitt (who also owns Suda on Portola Drive and has pumped new life into one of

Pleasure Point’s oldest neighborhood haunts, Castaways) is happy to have the new menu in place. “There’s no wait staff,” says Boyle. “You order, get a buzzer, and when it buzzes, you pick up your food.” Thanks to a collaboration between Soif chefs and the kitchen at Motiv, you can enjoy an Upstairs Burger ($13) topped with bacon-onion jam, sharp cheddar and roasted garlic aioli, or Pork Belly Banh Mi ($12) garnished with pickled carrots and daikon, hoisin, and of course, sriracha aioli. I liked the looks of an ornate creation, “of Canadian origin” Boyle assures me, called Wagyu Poutine ($10), involving

Last weekend up at the popular Windy Oaks tasting room—an atmospheric oasis of sophistication overlooking ripples of emerald vineyards—I sampled something a little bit different, created by the restless imagination of winemaker Jim Schultze of Monterey’s Meador Vineyard.

An appealing blend of Rhône reds, including Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache, playfully labeled Night Owl caught my eye. It’s quite a departure from Pinot Noir. We tried it out with some pasta and marinara sauce and found it more than ready to partner red sauce. By itself, it offers a rounded palate of red fruits and forest aromas.

Spices and red currants fuel the lofty center of this lovely creation that glides to a long finish of deep plum.

Terrifically versatile, and a delicious bargain at $21. Drive up to Windy Oaks tasting room, just up the redwoodlined road from Corralitos, and pick up a few bottles.

VENUS SPIRITS TASTING ROOM READY TO LAUNCH Venus Spirits is working on the finishing touches of its unprecedented new tasting room on the Westside, which may be open as soon as next weekend. Designed by the crafty Stripe Design Group, you’ll be able to actually sample the artisanal, organic, locally sourced gins, aquavit, rye, and tequila made

by Sean Venus. Next week we’ll walk you through the new tasting room, and give you some feedback on the spirits, including the newly released Wayward Rye. Look for Farmer Freed’s exotic and tangy culinary salts, now at Staff of Life—come sample them at the 46th anniversary party on June 13. Will there be a new Verve Coffee Roasters next door to Bantam? When queried, the folks at the SoCal office will only say “fall of 2015.”

Lucia Highlands

inner at Bittersweet Bistro is always a delightful experience.

Food, service and ambiance all come together superbly in this well-established restaurant. And expert chef Thomas Vinolus and his wife Elizabeth, co-owners of Bittersweet, work hard to make sure that every customer’s visit is a memorable one.

Although I love dining on Bittersweet’s pretty outdoor patio, on a rather chilly evening four of us headed inside for the comfortable warmth of the restaurant’s interior.

One of our friends had arrived early and was already enjoying a glass of wine at the bar, so he carried the remainder over to our table, and his wife ordered a cocktail when she arrived.

Spotting a Lucia Highlands 2013 Pinot Noir ($60) on the menu, we ordered it to share. Whether we had fish or meat, we wanted to enjoy a good wine. Life is not all about white wine with fish and red wine with meat.

Fruit for this luscious Pinot comes from Fogstone Vineyard, owned

by Bret Sisney and Gary Filizetti, in the prime grape-growing region of Santa Lucia Highlands. As Sisney and his wife Carol sell most of their grapes from vineyards they own to other wineries, we are fortunate that they have their own label, Lucia Highlands, and are producing some excellent wines, the Pinot being no exception. Bursting with aromas of red fruit, spice and earth, and with robust flavors of strawberry, cherry,

vanilla, and smoke, this Pinot is a mouthful of sheer pleasure.

Lucia Highlands wine can be found in local stores such as The Fish Lady, Deluxe Foods of Aptos and Seascape Foods. It’s also available at the Britannia Arms in Capitola and Rootstock Wine Bar in Los Gatos.

veryone has heard of craft beer at this point. But what about craft sandwiches? Paul Figliomeni, longtime executive chef at De Anza College in Cupertino, wanted to change that. He’d been working on the concept for a craft sandwich spot that also has craft beers, and when he retired last November from De Anza, he got to work on his dream. Opened in April, Surf City Sandwich carries several unique—and revamped— gourmet sandwiches, served up with a surf theme.

GT: How are you redefining the sandwich experience?

FIGLIOMENI: I’m sick and tired of all the delis in town where all the sandwiches taste the same—the same spread, the same bread, the same ingredients except for the meat. What I created are modern sandwiches and also traditional sandwiches with a modern twist. For instance, I do a traditional Philly cheese steak, but I use ghost jack pepper cheese in addition to American cheese, which is traditional, and I also have chipotle mayo on there.

What is a P.B.L.T.?

It’s a play on a traditional BLT, except it’s pork belly, lettuce and tomato. We do it on thick sliced

slightly toasted sourdough bread.

I take applewood-smoked bacon, render out the fat, and then I make bacon jam, which is pureed bacon with caramelized onions, chipotle powder and it has a splash of chicken stock and also maple syrup. That is the spread. Then I use pork belly, which is unsmoked, uncured bacon, and I slice it thick like bacon, then I render out the fat until it’s slightly crisp. It’s a great sandwich.

What’s this Grom’s Menu?

It’s our kids menu. Grom is a surf term for a kid who’s like a beginner. It’s a term used in surfing and skating.

What are beer barnacles?

They are tater tots with a blazing hot habanero cheese sauce. It has roasted habanero peppers, pickled habanero juice and chipotle powder. Then it has cheddar cheese and shredded Parmesan cheese on it, and cilantro.

You put warm cheese sauce over the fried tater tots and it has fresh sliced applewood-smoked bacon and scallions. It’s medium hot. I don’t think it’s super hot. I designed it to be spicy because it helps with beer sales.

That’s why I called it beer barnacles.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES RADIATING GOODWILL The first three days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) after the Gemini Festival of Goodwill, the New Group of World Servers (NGWS) and women and men of goodwill radiate the will-togood to Earth and humanity. This, along with the forces of reconstruction, uplifts, transforms and gives humanity hope that there is a great and better life ahead. These also inform humanity that it is humanity itself that must gather the commitment, courage and sense of community to build a new world in the Aquarian Age, under new rules. To create, in fact, the new sharing society based entirely upon goodwill.

Therefore, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we radiate the will-to-good to humanity. When humanity receives and senses this will-to-good, it becomes goodwill within humanity. The NGWS stands between humanity and the hierarchy (inner spiritual government) with many intermediary and mediating tasks to do. We can

only do them together as a group.

Friday, with Venus guarding and guiding the day, is very complex with multiple interactions between all planets circling the Sun. Sun/ Pluto means a very demanding day, filled with questions and mysteries. Mars/Jupiter creates an expansion of desire, aspiration and arrows flying toward the light. Venus trine Saturn brings structures forth that provide beauty, unity and synthesis. Venus enters Leo, and love, from the heart of everyone, is everywhere. This love, a creative activity hidden then revealed, is the result of “making contact.” Next month Venus retrogrades in Leo, with Venus in Leo through Oct. 9. This is our last week of Mercury retrograde before entering its shadow.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You wonder these days what your true values and ideals are, for they foreshadow and portend the future. You ponder upon your circle of friends. Are they like-minded?

Are you comfortable with them? Friends are important for support and nurturing. In the coming months you re-evaluate and re-examine who your friends are and why.

You will also assess your importance to them. Through communication you deepen the spiritual basis that holds everyone together. Or separates them.

You feel independent these days, knowing that balance comes from inner poise, prayer and serving others’ needs as they arise. Careful with communication. You may be sounding (and/or feeling) extra stern, withdrawn and separate with and from others. If you have children, tend to them with extra care.

Creativity, art, long-distance travel, friends and beautiful places are your refuge. Nurture the artist within. Grow flowers.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

Are you feeling strange and subtle changes within? Your inner self, as well as your home, needs tender loving care.

Our homes are psychological fortresses. When we change, they change, and those changes disassemble our sense of security and safety. A garden needs to be planted wherever you are. Call forth Ceres, the mother, to offer you comfort and care. Attempt to make home and self beautiful. Beauty sustains you in this time of change.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 3, 2015

Long-held dreams, hidden and perhaps buried for years, emerge, lighting the way toward your future and a new possible profession. It may be the right time for new training and study in a new field of endeavor. You assess your needs, family needs and the needs of humanity (a triangle). Combining the three makes you a world server.

Everyone needs to help in creating the new emerging sharing society. You will lead.

GEMINI May 22–Jun20 You constantly seek information leading to knowledge and wisdom—your spiritual task. Assessing all you’ve learned, an integration process occurs. What would you like to pursue (learn) now? Previous beliefs and ideas are becoming useless. As you encounter new ideas and philosophies you’re to uncover what you already know, blending them. This expands your creativity which helps people love more.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Outer success seems less important these days. You question and evaluate your life in spiritual terms. You ponder upon inner fulfillment, wondering what’s been unreal and what’s been a masquerade. Spiritual dimensions, perhaps not apparent, are all around you. At times you want to withdraw, find peace, drop into deeper dimensions, classify your knowledge, and make new plans for the future. Jupiter (expansion) is your guide.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You tend and care for the resources you have. You become Ceres, the mother, to all finances and resources in your environment. You want to ensure your future and financial security is a focus and goal. Remember to work within a budget each week and month, detailing how your money is spent, what you must have and what you can do without. You will feel a sense of order and organization. Assess your gifts, talents and what you love. These are where future resources will emerge.

LEO Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

It’s good to review relationships (past and present), seeking the truth of how you communicate(d), your moods, and what you offer(ed) others. Always cultivate a depth of connection, heart to heart, for this releases greater love. Recognize your growth through relationships. Ask if long ago you expected too much, created illusions, were defensive and demanding. Rewrite these relationships with forgiveness and understanding. Then you (and others) are free.

You review who you think you are as a person and who you are with others. Do they synchronize? Attempt to be aware of present resources and how you’re handling them, including finances. Are they dwindling? Or not appearing?

Has there been a change? Do not feel confused by the changes. Consider how community life would assist you, bringing forth your gifts. Cultivate compassion.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 It’s good to be especially careful with health. You can be extra sensitive. See food as medicine. Create balance by eating all foods (organic), prepared in all ways. Some people follow diets for religious reasons, ignoring what the body needs. We serve the devic presences in the body when we eat correctly. Begin to make flavored waters with fresh fruits and veggies. They purify, clarify and light up the body.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Assess your life experiences, accomplishments and learnings. Make this into a book. Take time to focus upon yourself. Find places of quiet and solitude. Establish yourself there and notice your thoughts centering on beginnings and endings. Notice your needs. Not wants, but needs. Notice previous endeavors that no longer seem important.
