ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 10 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

“To look at a thing hard and straight and seriously—to fix it.” Aries author Henry James said he wanted to do that on a regular basis. He didn’t want to be “arbitrary” or “mechanical” in his efforts. I invite you to make this perspective one of your specialties in the coming weeks, Aries. Pick out a tweaked situation you’d like to mend or a half-spoiled arrangement you want to heal. Then pour your pure intelligence into it. Investigate it with a luminous focus. Use all your tough and tender insight to determine what needs to be transformed, and transform it.

If you carry out the assignments I recommend, you will boost your charisma, your chutzpah and your creativity. Here’s the first one: Try something impossible every day. Whether or not you actually accomplish it isn’t important. To merely make the effort will shatter illusions that are holding you back. Here’s your second assignment: Break every meaningless rule that tempts you to take yourself too seriously. Explore the art of benevolent mischief. Here’s the third: Clear out space in your fine mind by shedding one dogmatic belief, two unprovable theories, and three judgmental opinions. Give yourself the gift of fertile emptiness.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Drug expert Jonathan P. Caulkins estimates that Americans are stoned on marijuana for more than 288 million hours every week. A U.N. report on global drug use concluded that Canadians consume weed at a similar rate. Among Europeans, Italians are number one and the French are fourth. But I encourage you to avoid contributing to these figures for the next 12 to 14 days. In my astrological opinion, it’s time to be as sober and sensible and serious as you ever get. You have the chance to make unprecedented progress on practical matters through the power of your pure reasoning and critical thinking.

In the 16th century, roguish French author François Rabelais published a comic novel entitled “The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel.” In the course of his satirical story, a learned teacher named Epistemon takes a visit to the afterlife and back. While on the other side, he finds famous dead heroes employed in humble tasks. Alexander the Great is making a meager living from mending old socks. Cleopatra is hawking onions in the streets. King Arthur cleans hats, and Helen of Troy supervises chambermaids. In accordance with the Rabelaisian quality of your current astrological aspects, Scorpio, I invite you to meditate on the reversals you would like to see in your own life. What is first that maybe should be last? And vice versa? What’s enormous that should be small? And vice versa? What’s proud that should be humble? And vice versa?

GEMINI May21–June20 I think it’ll be better if you don’t engage in much sacrifice, compromise, or surrender in the next two weeks. Normally they are valuable tools to have at your disposal, but for now they may tend to be counterproductive. Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect you need to be more commanding than usual, more confident in your vision of how to take action with maximum integrity. It’s time for you to draw deeper from the source of your own power, and express it with extra grace and imagination.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 You will soon be escaping—or maybe “graduating” is the right word—from your interesting trials and tribulations. In honor of this cathartic transition, I suggest you consider doing a ritual. It can be a full-fledged ceremony you conduct with somber elegance, or a five-minute psychodrama you carry out with boisterous nonchalance. It will be a celebration of your ability to outlast the forces of chaos and absurdity, and an expression of gratitude for the resources you’ve managed to call on in the course of your struggle. To add an extra twist, you could improvise a rowdy victory prayer that includes this quote adapted from Nietzsche: “I throw roses into the abyss and say: ‘Here is my thanks to the monster who did not devour me.’”

I propose a Friends Cleanse. It would be a three-weeklong process of reviewing your support team and web of connections. If you feel up for the challenge, start this way: Take inventory of your friendships and alliances. If there are any that have faded or deteriorated, make a commitment to either fix them or else phase them out. Here’s the second stage of the Friends Cleanse: Give dynamic boosts to those relationships that are already working well. Take them to the next level of candor and synergy.

This Week’s We eek’’s Tide Chart Chart Sponsored S Sponsor ed by: by:

After Walt Whitman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he made sure it would get the publicity he wanted. He wrote anonymous reviews of his own book and submitted them to several publications, all of which printed them. “An American bard at last!” began the glowing review that appeared in one newspaper. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Virgo, you now have license to engage in similar behavior. You will incur no karma, nor will you tempt fate, if you tout your own assets in the coming weeks. Try to make your bragging and self-promotion as charming as possible, of course. But don’t be timid about it.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 There’s no better time than now to ask the big question or seek the big opening or explore the big feeling. People are not only as receptive as they will ever be, they are also more likely to understand what you really mean and what you are trying to accomplish. Which door has been forever locked? Which poker face hasn’t blinked or flinched in many moons? Which heart of darkness hasn’t shown a crack of light for as long as you can remember? These are frontiers worth revisiting now, when your ability to penetrate the seemingly impenetrable is at a peak.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The writer Donald Barthelme once came to see the artist Elaine de Kooning in her New York studio. Midway through the visit, loud crashes and bangs disturbed the ceiling above them. De Kooning wasn’t alarmed. “Oh, that’s Herbert thinking,” she said, referring to the metal sculptor Herbert Ferber, who worked in a studio directly above hers. This is the kind of thinking I’d love to see you unleash in the coming days, Capricorn. Now is not a time for mild, cautious, delicate turns of thought, but rather for vigorous meditations, rambunctious speculations and carefree musings. In your quest for practical insight, be willing to make some noise. (The story comes from Barthelme’s essay “Not-Knowing.”)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Sidney Lumet was an American director who worked on 50 films, including 14 that were nominated for Academy Awards, like Network and Dog Day Afternoon. Actors loved to work with him, even though he was a stickler for thorough rehearsals. Intense preparation, he felt, was the key to finding the “magical accidents” that allow an actor’s highest artistry to emerge. I advocate a similar strategy for you, Aquarius. Make yourself ready, through practice and discipline, to capitalize fully on serendipitous opportunities and unexpected breakthroughs when they arrive.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “It is not only the most difficult thing to know oneself, but the most inconvenient one, too,” said American writer Josh Billings. I agree with him. It’s not impossible to solve the mystery of who you are, but it can be hard work that requires playful honesty, cagey tenacity and an excellent sense of humor. The good news is that these days it’s far less difficult and inconvenient than usual for you to deepen your self-understanding. So take advantage! To get started, why don’t you interview yourself? Go here to see some questions you could ask: bit.ly/ interviewyourself.

$15 per hour, and I know everyone working at SCTCC should get at least that much. We live in a time where complacency is accepted as we go about our daily lives. Thanks to you for taking the time to bring these issues to our attention. GARY MILLER | SANTA CRUZ

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ANITA TELLE Great work. Bullying is an unfortunate problem that needs to be addressed and solved. It is also great to look at the root of the problem and work to prevent it. We have

another great local author and curriculum developer, Pamela Cayton and her Creating Compassionate Cultures curriculum, modeled at the Tara Redwood, that works with children to think about and create a world they want to live in, free of bullying, injustices and recognizes differences as a strength. The CCC curriculum is weaved though the daily school curriculum of reading, writing, math science and social studies. Educators engage children in discussions about the world they want to live in and how to achieve and live it. The CCC curriculum brings in what we are learning about neuroscience and brain development and its ability to change throughout our lives. — DARCY VALBY

NEWS UNTAG ME Painter Hal Turner spends his own money and time covering graffiti in Aptos BY MICAYELA KONVISER

>14

WATCH THIS SPACE Two new reports confirm just how dire the situation for Santa Cruz renters has become.

No Place to Call Home Santa Cruz tops the list for worst places to rent in the country BY MAT WEIR

ere’s how bad the housing market has gotten in Santa Cruz: for $350 a month you can rent a cot in the kitchen area of a tiny downtown studio. The Craigslist ad for what may be the most affordable “room” in the county asks for someone who is preferably a student, who doesn’t eat meat, smoke or drink, and who goes to sleep and wakes up early. The quarters may be cramped (and far from private), but there is surely someone out there who will find it appealing that the dresser and cot are conveniently a foot away from the fridge, sink and dishwasher. Other listings for “studio apartments” outfitted with a microwave or hotplate for a kitchen

can start around $1,100 not including utilities (and shoot straight up from there). These units often come with their own restrictions; no pets, no overnight visitors, no fragrances, no Section 8 (Santa Cruz’s housing-choice voucher program), to name a few. As housing prices rise during Silicon Valley’s job boom, owners are selling their rental units and evicting longtime tenants, while landlords are inundated with scores of applications in minutes, for less and less square footage. Santa Cruz County has the fifth most expensive rents in the state, with the average tenant having to make at least $33.77 an hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment, according to a National Low Income Housing

Coalition report aptly called “Out of Reach 2015.” That’s quite a gap from the state’s minimum wage of $9 an hour, even with the imminent raise to $10 in 2016. The city of Santa Cruz also has the highest rents in proportion to salaries in the U.S., according to a Zillow study published in The Wall Street Journal— worse even than San Francisco, San Jose, New York or Boston. The median home here rents for 9.4 times the median income. Hairdresser Laurie Teitzel, 30, doesn’t need a chart to know how bad it is. She combs Craigslist every day trying to find an affordable home for the family she and her husband are planning. >13 The Teitzels live in an

When local business owner Hal Turner, 51, was bothered by some graffiti in his neighborhood he took action and painted over it. “I drove by it for like a week and it was still there, and it was kind of bugging me,” Turner says.“And it dawned on me that, because I’m a painting contractor, I had a similar red at home from a job. So I went home grabbed it, went back and rolled it. It didn’t quite match, so I came back later in the day and rolled the whole wall,” he says. That was 12 years ago. Since then, Turner has been painting over most of the graffiti in Aptos, where he grew up. Having lived in Aptos Village for 26 years, Turner says he likes to help around his community. “I, you know, did stuff in my youth that I’m not proud of, so maybe it’s a way of making up for that, too,” he says. Turner is a one-man free urban renewal crew in a county that spends $100,600 on graffiti removal. Some of that is done by county road crews and some by the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County, which receives $78,000 annually for supplies and paint for laborers who donate their time in the unincorporated sections of the county. For comparison, the City of Santa Cruz pays $60,000 a year to a contractor to remove its graffiti, and San Jose pays $663,000 a year. Turner is the owner of a small local painting company called Turner Painting. When painting over graffiti, Turner will often cover the entire wall with a similar paint that he has in stock, rather than search for the exact same color from the building. After he paints over a wall once it is faster for him to paint over future taggings. “The taggings go pretty quick now, though,” he says. “It was more work in the beginning to paint a whole wall, but now if I go back and I have that exact red or that green just to paint over what they did, it’s pretty easy.” Turner says he receives many positive responses from community members while he’s working. “They’re stoked,” he

NEWS NO PLACE TO CALL HOME <11 800-square-foot apartment, which shares a lot with four other units. After months of searching, they thought they had found the perfect opportunity for an 1100- square-foot home listing for $1,900. “We drove by it and it looked great,” she says. “So we gave the guy a call and told him our story. An hour later he called back saying he had 50 requests for the place and was shutting his phone off. However, if we wanted it—the current tenant was there and willing to show it—it was ours.” The couple quickly thanked him and drove to the location, riding on high hopes that they were a few of the lucky ones that caught a break. But the silver lining soon began to tarnish. “The second we walked in I thought, ‘This is not going to work,’” she says with a sigh. The advertised square footage listing turned out to mean the whole property, which was divided up between the house and an added-on studio. The actual two-bedroom house was approximately 700 square feet. In a report entitled Out of Reach released last month by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), the group announced “rents

for apartments have risen nationally for 23 straight quarters.” What’s more, in 13 states, including D.C., “ the housing wage is more than $20 per hour,” meaning renters need to earn more than $20 an hour to afford a two-bedroom unit—a feat not often possible for single parents, workingclass families and many working professionals in Santa Cruz. NLIHC also named California as having the third-highest housing wages in the country (behind Hawaii and D.C., respectively) with the average full-time worker needing to earn $26.65 an hour to afford a twobedroom unit. Even with the economy turning around, 44 percent of the jobs created since the recession are minimum wage and low-skilled (retail, field labor, cleaning, etc) and many pay well under a living wage in some of the most expensive states, including California. Try finding a house as a kindergarten teacher, like Kat Beaulieu, 64, who has lived in Santa Cruz for 30 years. “I have Section 8,” she begins. “And places are either too expensive, don’t allow pets—I have a well-behaved little kitty—or don’t take Section 8.”

Beaulieu has lived in her current home with another roommate for two years. Before that, she lived in a private studio for 13 years before the landlord decided it was time to sell. “I really wasn’t interested in having a housemate,” Beaulieu states. “But I was ready to move. Even then, it took me months to find something!” Recently, her current housemate (who is the primary rentee) decided their living situation wasn’t ideal anymore, and Beaulieu needed to move. After a lot of research, she was able to find two potential residencies— however, both passed on her because of her cat. As with Teitzel and Davis, moving out of the area is not an option. “I have a good job here,” she says. “I don’t have family anyplace else.” Those interviewed by Good Times agree that rent control is one option that could help alleviate the current renting crises. But it’s not currently on the table in City Hall. “It’s been a long time since rent control has come up,” explains Santa Cruz City Councilmember Micah Posner. “Very few cities do rent control anymore and one of the reasons is because the corporations [will often take the issue to court].” But don’t start packing >16

the street wouldn’t be able to fit fire trucks. Nickell says that having the street flow in only one direction, instead of in an “unintuitive” maze, might help. “If we got 5 percent of what Gibbs said, that would be 5 percent more in sales,” Nickell says. “Mom and pop stores could make it if they have more volume.” Nickell, who works as a developer with Barry Swenson Builder, says he will suggest trying the street change as a two-year experiment. If it doesn’t show improvement, they can put it back the way it is now, he says. “As a developer, I have to deal with fear every day,” Nickell says. “People are afraid of new things. But it’s OK to try something new. We will have

something measurable. If sales go up, we will know it.”

FLYOVER COUNTY There has been an uproar over the roar of jets bound for San Francisco flying over Santa Cruz, ever since the FAA changed the flight path in March. Now, Congressman Sam Farr is asking for a public hearing and feedback from upset Cruzans. “If we can bring the testimony of the people of Santa Cruz County affected by this problem to the FAA it will help demonstrate the extreme urgency by which this issue needs to be addressed,” says Farr. You can help by filling out a survey at the Save Our Skies Facebook page or on Sam Farr’s Facebook page. BRAD KAVA

The number of available houses for sale in Santa Cruz County hit an 18year low this Spring, and with historically low inventory, the phenomenon of multiple offers has returned. Many Bay Area markets are showing trends for massive overbids—San Francisco and Marin Counties lead the way with average selling prices exceeding list prices by 18 and 22%, respectively. However, many Santa Cruz County sellers seem inclined to price their homes a little high and let the market come to them. According to market statistics, our selling prices averaged 10% under the asking price. That said, we are deﬁnitely seeing overbids in multiple sub-markets in our county so it is important to get an accurate analysis based on the available supply and recent activity for comparable properties in the immediate area. In the midst of an increasingly competitive environment, proactive buyers and their agents have upped their game, accompanying proof of funds and loan preapprovals with campaign letters professing why their proposal is the right choice. Family histories and pictures of the kids are brought out and I’ve even seen a homemade pie accompany an offer. On the listing side, increasing numbers of sellers and their agents are ordering reports ahead of time and having buyers sign off on potential property issues before their offer is accepted to decrease the number of factors that could lead to the buyer changing their mind or attempting to renegotiate mid-way through escrow. And both sides are paying more attention to nuance than ever before: Details like the professionalism and nature of communications between agents, the overall tone of the offer and introductory materials, the levels of up-front due diligence, the focus on short but realistic contingency timelines, larger good faith deposits and agreement to bring additional funds to close when competing against all-cash buyers can all send signals that can help an offer rise to the top.

There are a couple of problems with downtown Santa Cruz. One is finding it. Another is finding your way around once you get there. For years, the city has looked at solving these problems with signs to direct tourists heading to the Boardwalk toward the boutique retail and high-quality restaurants on Pacific Avenue, and turning the maze of one-way turns, which confuses even longtime locals, into one long stretch of one-way traffic. The Downtown Commission is holding a meeting for residents and merchants at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, at Assembly restaurant (1108 Pacific Ave.) to get feedback on a proposal to make Pacific one-way from the

Clock Tower to Cathcart Street. “We have a lot to gain through retail stores and by showing off our downtown,” says Jesse Nickell, head of the commission. “Most tourists go through Ocean Street and say, ‘it’s pretty ugly.’ We can do a lot better.” One option is to post signs directing people to downtown. The other is to have traffic flow in one direction, toward the Boardwalk, through downtown. Two years ago, consultant Robert Gibbs told the city council that business would improve by 20 percent if there were two-way access to Pacific Avenue instead of the current maze of snaking turns, but that proposal was shot down by the fire department, which said

UNTAG ME <11 says. “I get so many people honking and saying ‘thank you.’ I’ve had people come up to me and offer me money.” Many people living in the area have now come to expect Turner to paint over graffiti, he says. “Now if there’s taggings and a few days go by, people are like, ‘Hey, where’s Hal? He’s supposed to be taking care of this.’” Some businesses also call him. Steve Allen, an Aptos real estate broker, says he and the people who work in his office

appreciate the contribution that he makes to the community, “Whenever we see something get tagged, I’ll give Hal a call and he’ll come over the same day,” he says. Allen is also a board member of the Aptos Chamber of Commerce, which recently awarded Turner the community enhancement award for his challenging work painting over the graffiti on the railroad trestle above Aptos Creek. Turner pays for the paint and supplies that he uses out of his own pocket. He says he usually spends around a couple of

hundred dollars a year but he once spent almost $400 on a single job repainting a mural under the railroad trestle by Aptos Creek although he says that that was a one-time deal. The money went to matching the colors on the original mural. Turner has asked local paint stores about donating paint, but says that he has not had any luck with that yet. Turner drives through Aptos on his way to work, and when he sees new graffiti he likes to take care of it right away. “I drive through here every day, and if I leave my house and I see one that just happened

that night I turn around right away and get the paint and hit it.” he said. “So whoever tagged it comes back the next day and it’s already covered.” he said. “I think it’s discouraging for them, whereas if it’s left there for a month, you know, they like it.” This is his way of giving back to his community, says Turner. “It’s amazing how much gratitude I get for such a little amount of effort, really.” he says. “I think everybody should find their own little thing to help their community in a small way. It doesn't take much.”

to move out of Santa Cruz just yet. On Tuesday, June 2, the City Council hosted the first part of two workshops to tackle the current housing and renting shortage. “Everything is expensive and it’s rising exponentially,” says Posner. “Buying a home has risen twice the rate of inflation over the last 30 years and renting a place has risen four times. There’s a huge percentage of people spending over 30 percent [on rent], which is what’s recommended.” While the City of Santa Cruz did add roughly 125 low-income housing units last year, it did not meet its goal set by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments. What’s more, last year the city lost millions of dollars in redevelopment money when agencies throughout the state were cut. Less housing means even fewer low-income units. However, our elected officials are working on it. “One thing that was brought up is a new tax called the ‘Transfer Tax,’” says Posner. “So whenever someone sold a house, the city would get some money for affordable housing. That’s an idea I’m interested in. Another is raising the minimum wage.” Which brings up a burning question: If cities like Los Angeles and Seattle—which are cheaper to live in than Santa Cruz—can raise their minimum wage to $15 an hour, why can’t Santa Cruz raise it even a little? This very questions was posed to City Council members on May 26 when seven city workers were arrested for disrupting a meeting. The Service Employees International Union Local 521 workers handcuffed themselves together to protest their lack of wage increases after taking pay cuts or wage stagnation during and since the recession. “As soon as we finish with these budget hearings, which are taking up all my time, I’m going to put some work into that and try to get it to the council,” says Posner. Until then, Santa Cruzans will have to continue the dog-eat-dog rental search, or find happiness in the convenience of washing their dishes from bed.

n Dec. D 19, 2000, shuttle driver Ro oss Vitalie, the owner of Do oor to Door Airporter, Inc. in Hu umboldt County, County picked up his fare—a sllight fi figure in his early 50s with an odd, gruff manner of speaking and peculiar facial tics—at what was then known as the e Arcata Airport, a smalltown airfield fi d with a couple of runways originally built by the U.S. Navy during World Wa Wo War III. The dark-h haired and affable Vitalie then headed roughly 15 miles south down Highway 101 to Harper Motors, a Ford dealership lo ocated just north of Eureka, Eureka where his passenger picked up some keys for his car stored in long-term parking at the airportt. Vitalie drove him back. The round triip took little more than 30 minutes. Vitalie’s pa assenger had been a regular customer ove er the past half-decade. “You Yo could say he was a little bit strange,” says Vitalie, a mu uscular 6-footer who studied martial arts in i college. “For his size, he could ld be b very y demanding.” d di ” Airport rec cords would later indicate that Vitalie’ss passenger had often ft stored his car in lon ng-term parking in the years prior. The rec cords also indicated that he

removed his car from the lott that afternoon. ft Vitalie dropped off o his passenger—whom he called simply “Bob”—at the airport, and biid him adieu. “He was a loner,” Vitalie recalls. r “The only thing I remember was him asking what was going on arround town whenever he returned. He’d want to know if anything wa as going on with the police departme ent.” Vitalie’s fare that day wass none other than Robert Durst, the e quirky and deadly scion of a Manha attan real estate dynasty. He had reloc cated to the seaside California tow wn of Trinidad in late 1994 or early y 1995, shortly after ft his father, Seym mour Durst, passed him over, insttalling Robert’s younger brother Do ouglas as head of the family’s billio on-dollar high-rise empire. The controversial, albeit intoxicating, documentary series s The Jinx: The Life fe and Deaths of o Robert Durst, which aired on HBO th his past winter, made it seem as thou ugh Robert Durst never wanted to t serve as head of the family busine ess, but

that’s one of man ny false narratives established by Du urst after ft the fact, as a way of puttin ng off anyone on his trail. Those close to him knew better.

sexual affairs and violent outbursts. Durst had spun a false narrative about his wife’s disappearance—and, many believe, got away with murder. Those close to Durst—family, friends, you name them—have described him as an inveterate liar, “incapable of telling the truth,” in the words of his brother Douglas. Although he would claim otherwise in The Jinx, he was also extremely skilled in his duplicity. More than once, law enforcement officials took the bait. They swallowed it hook, line and sinker in New York. And they may have swallowed it in California, too.

ccording to records in the Humboldt County Recorder’s Office, Durst purchased a three-story ocean-view home in

Trinidad from Diane Bueche in June of 1995. “It was very rural,” Durst would tell The Jinx director Andrew Jarecki about Trinidad in an interview for the film. “Very pretty.” Located on the corner of Van Wycke and Gallindo streets in the picturesque seaside village, Durst’s residence—with wall-towall decking and full-length picture windows on each level—afforded sweeping views of the gorgeous Trinidad waterfront, arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Northern California. Bueche lived directly next door on Van Wycke, in a sprawling twostory shingled home with equally breathtaking views. To her friends, the outgoing, well-off Bueche was “a bon vivant” (many called her “Bo”)

Durst had residences all over the country: in New York, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and California, and several cities therein. Investigators in at least three states noted that he liked frequenting the tenderloin and skid row neighborhoods in various cities, often hanging out with the homeless and down and out. In some instances, he pretended to be a person of need himself.

<20 who owned and managed several properties in Humboldt and Trinity counties. She quickly became Durst’s friend, confidante and social guide to the North Coast. They went out to dinner, movies and special cultural events. “Bobby” Durst, as he was most frequently known, generally kept to himself among strangers, but he had a surprising charm around women. They seemed to hover over him, guarding him, maybe even wanting to “mother” him, according to one friend. That he was receptive to such affection shouldn’t have been surprising, since his own mother had committed suicide when he was 7—though not, as he would often claim, directly in front of him. Durst liked to stretch the truth on that story, too. His first wife, Kathie, was a beautiful bright 19-year-old when he met her. By the time she disappeared, it is widely known that Durst had taken up with Prudence Farrow, the younger sister of actress Mia Farrow and the subject of the Beatles’ White Album song “Dear Prudence,” written by John Lennon. Some suspected that Bueche and Durst were an item in Trinidad, but no one seems to have known for sure. One police report, drafted in 2003, asserts that Durst had sex only with prostitutes after the disappearance of Kathie in 1982.

More than likely, the Bueche-Durst relationship was platonic.

hose who knew Durst in Trinidad mostly refused to talk about him on the record, but privately they tell of an odd little man (“a weird, weird dude,” said one; “a very strange guy” and “spooky,” said another) who threw his money around with a small coterie of acquaintances, and who talked big—but whose stories never quite added up. Durst had told Bueche and others that he had a daughter (he did not), and that he was planning to develop property in an isolated region north of Trinidad known as Big Lagoon, only to run afoul of the California Coastal Commission. There’s no record of that. For a while he kept an office in Eureka’s “Old Town,” on E. Street, though what he actually did there is anyone’s guess. At one point, he claimed to be a botanist for the Pacific Lumber Company. At other times, he claimed to be an insurance investigator or a rare metals expert. None of it was true. Durst was essentially computer illiterate when he arrived in Humboldt, and incapable of typing, as well. He put up an advertisement for a computer tech at Humboldt State University’s career center (in Arcata) and eventually hired an HSU student, Michael Glass, who worked

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.

Like most who encountered Durst in Humboldt County, Glass described him as being an “odd duck” and “eccentric.” One memory for Glass stands out: he recalls that Durst was thoroughly infatuated with Pixar’s computer-animated blockbuster Toy Story, which was released in 1995, right around the time Durst arrived in Humboldt. Durst wanted all the imagery on his computer— the screen saver, etc.—related to Toy Story. Durst, Glass recalls, powerfully identified with the film.

he same day— Dec. 19, 2000—that Durst rode with Ross Vitalie to and from the Arcata Airport, his longtime friend and intimate, Susan Berman, a struggling writer in Los Angeles, had a conversation with one of her closest friends, the actress Kim Lankford. Lankford, who had starred in the primetime soap opera Knots Landing back in the late 1970s, would later recall that Berman was especially hyper that day, claiming in an interview with New York magazine writer Lisa DePaulo that Berman was about to break a big story “that was going to blow the top off things.” Berman was always on the verge of something, always a handful. She was the daughter of a Las Vegas mobster Dave Berman—also known as “Davie the Jew”—a close associate of the legendary Vegas mafioso Bugsy Siegel, who had been assassinated by rival gangsters in 1947. Lankford presumed that her friend’s big revelation had something to do with mob history, maybe about who had killed Siegel. Berman had met Durst at UCLA in the late 1960s and had reportedly bonded over issues of losing a beloved parent from violence in their childhoods. She had migrated to the Bay Area after college, where she became a well-known writer at the San Francisco Examiner after penning a Sunday magazine piece entitled “Why I Can’t Get Laid in San Francisco.” By the new millennium, Berman,

who had relocated to Los Angeles, was begging her friends for money, in debt to everyone. And with Berman, it was always a crisis, always high theater, always about her. She was the prototypical drama queen. Through it all, however, Durst and Berman remained loyal to each other. When Durst’s wife Kathie went missing in 1982, Berman had served as Durst’s spokesman, and, as many now believe, may have helped to mislead investigators by placing a call to the medical school at which Kathie was a student, claiming to be Kathie and saying that she would be absent from school the day after she went missing. While they were no longer as close as they once were, sometime in the fall of 2000, after investigators in New York had kick-started a new investigation into Kathie’s disappearance, Robert Durst had sent Berman, now living in a rundown bungalow in Beverly Hills, two checks for $25,000 each—a $50,000 gift, he made clear, not a loan—which, later on, some people figured may have been hush money for whatever role Berman played in Kathie’s fate. On Christmas Eve, five days after Durst had flown into Humboldt County, Los Angeles police made a startling discovery. Berman was found face down in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor, executed by a single shot from a 9-millimeter pistol to the back of her head. Since there had been no forced entry into Berman’s home, investigators immediately speculated that whoever killed the mobster’s daughter was a person she knew. That same day, the Beverly Hills Police Department received an anonymous note indicating that there was a “cadaver” at Berman’s address on Benedict Canyon Drive. The note may have been anonymous, but the author left a telltale sign, spelling “Beverley Hills” incorrectly, with an extra “e.” Nearly 15 years after the grisly discovery at Berman’s home (and only hours before the climax of The Jinx on HBO), the County of Los

ROBERT DURST

HOT SEAT The HBO documentary series 'The Jinx' made Robert Durst a

pop-culture phenomenon—but also intensified scrunity of his connection to a murder case in Los Angeles.

<24 Angeles filed a felony complaint asserting that: “On or between Dec. 22, 2000, and Dec. 23, 2000, in the County of Los Angeles, the crime of MURDER … was committed by ROBERT DURST, who did unlawfully, and with malice aforethought, murdered SUSAN BERMAN, a human being.”

he saga of Robert Durst and the many deaths that surround him have become, in recent months, part of the national cultural fabric. Durst has emerged— there is really no other way to put it—as a celebrity killer and international sensation. That he was found not guilty of the 2001 killing of Morris Black on the grounds of self-defense (never mind that he dismembered the corpse and tossed it into Galveston Bay) has only added to Durst’s creepy celebrity status and media mystique. Today, the ailing 72-year-old Durst, currently incarcerated in the St. Charles Parish Jail in New Orleans, is facing federal gun charges—and after that process

plays itself out this fall, he’ll be facing extradition proceedings to bring him back to Los Angeles on murder charges. Many of the people I’ve spoken to in the past several months don’t think that Durst will ever see the light of day again—but they thought the same thing when he was arrested for the murder of Morris Black in 2001. Shortly after the arrest of Durst in New Orleans, I was looking through a newspaper search engine when I made a surprising discovery in the Ukiah Daily Journal from May 11, 1995, that Durst had been arrested in Mendocino County for driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. Somehow this arrest had escaped the notice of journalists and law enforcement officials alike. The Mendocino arrest was classic Durst. Pulled over in the tourist haven of Mendocino Village after drinking a bottle of wine at the upscale Café Beaujolais, Durst was found with marijuana and $3,700 in cash in his trunk—and he failed a series of field sobriety tests.

ROBERT DURST

ittle more than two years after Durst was arrested in Mendocino and had settled into his ocean-view digs in Trinidad, a 16-year-old high school student from Eureka—Karen Marie Mitchell—was declared missing after visiting her aunt’s shoe store at the Bayshore Mall on the south side of town. The Mitchell case both captivated and galvanized the community. Over the next several years, numerous leads were exhausted, and several suspects were identified, though, ultimately, nothing came to fruition. Although it’s not clear when Durst appeared on the radar of Eureka investigators, according to newspaper records Mitchell’s aunt, Annie Casper (with whom she was residing at the time of her disappearance), first publicly identified Durst by name as a suspect in the Mitchell case in December of 2001, not 2003, as has often been claimed in the media. “[Durst’s] been in our store twice, which I thought was kind of odd,” Casper was quoted as saying. “Anytime somebody does something [like Durst, in reference to the killing of Morris Black], that’s lived in this area for some amount of time, I check it out.” On at least one occasion when Durst was in the store, he was dressed as a woman. It’s never been clear how seriously Humboldt County investigators took Durst as a suspect in the Mitchell disappearance. For a while, at least, they had their eyes on someone else: a Humboldt County trucker named Wayne Adam Ford, who eventually confessed to killing four women (but adamantly denied killing Mitchell) —and federal investigators had flight records appearing to indicate that Durst wasn’t in Eureka on the day of the abduction. Shortly before Mitchell went missing in 1997, there was another disappearance of a young woman in Northern California, Kristen Modaferri, an 18-year-old student from North Carolina visiting the Bay Area for the summer. Since Modaferri was living in the East Bay at the time (she was taking a

Then, with phrasing familiar to anyone who watched The Jinx, Durst uttered to a cop that “the money and marijuana is mine and I have always smoked it, even as a kid … So what’s the big deal?” In fact, after he left the Durst Organization in 1994, Durst took on an even more bizarre lifestyle than the one he maintained in New York. Durst had residences all over the country: in New York, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and California, and several cities therein. Investigators in at least three states noted that he liked frequenting the tenderloin and skid row neighborhoods in various cities, often hanging out with the homeless and down and out. In some instances, he pretended to be a person of need himself. He had also taken to crossdressing, and in a celebrated profile of Durst in GQ magazine, investigative reporter Robert Draper claimed Durst had taken to the streets as a transvestite, plying young men for tricks. He hung out in tranny bars, always on the make. How far he went with this particular fetish is uncertain (some investigators question the veracity of Draper’s account), but he was seen dressed as a woman in at least three different locations during the 1990s and early 2000s. In Northern California, Durst owned his home in Trinidad, owned two upscale townhouses in San Francisco, and had several other addresses stretching from the northern region of Humboldt County as far south, according to one report, as Palo Alto. “[Durst] never stayed in one place for more than a few days,” says Cody Cazalas, the lanky mustachioed investigator from Galveston, Texas, who provided The Jinx with its soul, if not its conscience. “He’d fly from Texas to California to Louisiana then back to Florida then Texas again,” Cazalas tells me. “He was extremely mobile. And very secretive about his movements. Two or three days was about it in any one place. He was all over the charts.”

summer course in photography at UC Berkeley), her disappearance was investigated by the Oakland Police Department. One of the suspects in the Modaferri case fit a profile similar to Durst, particularly in respect to cross-dressing and prowling around homeless shelters. The Oakland investigators felt there might be a connection. Although Bay Area investigators didnâ€™t have sufficient evidence to pursue Durst in respect to Modaferriâ€™s disappearance, they felt that there was reason to do so in respect to the disappearance of Karen Mitchell. According to Matt Birkbeckâ€™s best-selling book, â€œA Deadly Secret: The Bizarre and Chilling Story of Robert Durst,â€? East Bay investigators believed that Durst had flown into the Arcata Airport on Nov. 25, 1997, the day of Mitchellâ€™s disappearance. They had subpoenaed credit card and Federal Express records indicating Durstâ€™s presence in Humboldt County that day. One of the investigators, John Bradley, interviewed a woman then incarcerated in a San Francisco jail, Sheli C., who had lived in Humboldt County during the same five-year period that Durst was living there. A drug addict and a prostitute, Sheli had been arrested on narcotics charges. Bradley had a hunch that she might know something about the

Mitchell disappearance. She didnâ€™t. But when Bradley showed Sheli a picture of Durst, she recognized him immediately from Eureka, where, she said, Durst had frequented a homeless shelter only a couple of blocks from the office he kept in Old Town. Karen Mitchell, Bradley would later learn, had volunteered at the same homeless shelter. According to Sheli, Durst had tried to pay her for sex, but he always low-balled her, so, she claimed, it never happened. But when shown a second picture of Durst, she said, curiously, â€œthatâ€™s what he looks like in the morning.â€? She said that Durstâ€™s â€œpatternâ€? was to hang around the homeless shelter for a while, disappear for a couple of months, â€œthen he would return to loitering around the homeless shelter.â€? There had also been a composite sketch drawn of someone who may have been driving a car that Mitchell got into the day of her disappearance. A witness had stepped forward months afterward, and the sketch looked remarkably like Durstâ€”down to his oversized wire-rimmed glassesâ€”so much so that Bradley believed the informant had to have known Durst. Bradley and his partner down in Oakland wanted to push the case against Durst harder. The last thing Sheli C. said to Bradley was that

“weird people get tired of doing normal stuff.” The line struck a chord with Bradley. Then Sheli went on the lam, and so did the informant. Bradley and his partner never had a chance for any follow-up interviews. Their frustration mounted. One of the things that can happen when criminal cases fall under separate jurisdictions is that investigators get territorial, toes get stepped on, egos bruised. Outsiders often get marginalized by local cops who take personal possession of a case. “You hear about it from time to time,” Cazalas tells me in his distinctive South Texas drawl. “And it baffles the shit out of me, to be honest with you. It’s just a cryin’ shame … If it happened anywhere involving [Durst], like I said, that’s a cryin’ shame.”

he timing of Durst’s drive from Humboldt County down to Los Angeles in 2000 comes as no surprise to investigators who have followed the Durst case closely. On Halloween of 2000, Durst received a tip—reportedly from his sister, which the Durst Corporation denies—that law enforcement officials in New York had re-opened the case of Kathie Durst’s disappearance. The heat was back on. In early November, Durst bought an engagement ring for one of his girlfriends, Deborah Lee Charatan, an accomplished, high-powered Manhattan real estate agent. Then, on Nov. 15, according to Birkbeck, Durst called a small-apartment owner in Galveston, on behalf of a “deaf-mute woman,” Dorothy Ciner (one of Durst’s many aliases). What this means is that Durst had set up shop in Galveston even before he had cleared out of Northern California. Durst’s erratic behavior during this time was also duly noted in Trinidad, where his confidante Diane Bueche began to feel uneasy. At first she defended Durst when television crews came to Trinidad during the spring of 2001 for the ABC shows Vanished and Prime Time,

feeling that Durst was “the victim of a ruthless press.” Ironically, Durst had suggested that she watch Unsolved Mysteries, which featured a segment on his wife—perhaps, Bueche later speculated, to deter concern on her part should she have come across it on her own. By the fall of 2001, however, when Durst went on the lam following his killing of Morris Black, Bueche became more than a little concerned. Bueche eventually contacted Judy Hodgson, publisher of the North Coast Journal, to tell her the Durst story. Hodgson says that Bueche “did not look well” at the time, telling Hodgson that she was “ill, and dying of cancer.” Bueche, recalls Hogson, “felt a little duped or stupid for originally taking Durst’s side.” A few months later, a psychic by the name of Barbara Stamps told the New York Post that she began “picking up on dark energy” at Durst’s former Trinidad home and “had very strong feelings that a murder had been committed there,” directly next door to Bueche’s residence. Stamps said that she had “mental images” of the home as early as May 16, 2000—long before the killings of Berman and Black. Once again, those in Trinidad became anxious. Many worried that they had recently had a murderer in their midst. Only months after the psychic identified Durst’s home, Diane Bueche was found dead in the master bedroom next door. At first, I was told that Bueche had died of cancer. Later, I discovered that she had committed suicide, shot through her head with a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver. The bullet had exited through the back of her skull, penetrating the mattress. Durst was in custody in Galveston at the time, but there are those in Trinidad and elsewhere who still have questions about Bueche’s death.

ROBERT DURST <30 police chief, who in the aftermath of Durstâ€™s arrest in March has quietly but surely reopened the Karen Mitchell case. Mills, who arrived in Eureka highly touted from San Diego, was candid and forthcoming in his conversation with me. He described the Mitchell investigation as â€œreinvigorated and active,â€? and says that while he was unable to identify any new evidence involving Durst, that Durst is very much in play as a suspect. Since then, Iâ€™ve discovered that the FBI has presently assembled an unofficial national task force specifically looking at a multitude of unsolved murders and disappearances wherever Durst has lived, stretching back more than 40 years. Indeed, thereâ€™s a case involving a young girl who vanished after frequenting Durstâ€™s health food store in Vermont in 1971. During my trip through Northern California last month, following Durstâ€™s ghost behind the Redwood Curtain, I re-read portions of Bret Easton Ellisâ€™ â€œAmerican Psycho,â€? the controversial novel about Manhattan investment banker Patrick Bateman, whose decadent lifestyle descends into a series of grotesque murders. Several passages seemed surprisingly, if not shockingly, reminiscent of Durst, this one in particular:

All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed â€Ś My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. The passages were unnerving. They haunted me as I reflected on this story on the long drive along the Mendocino and Humboldt coastlines, then back home along

the Highway 101 corridor, through the wine country of Mendocino and Sonoma counties and into the Bay Area. Somewhere I had read that Durst had rented the movie American Psycho when he was dating a woman from Dallas in 2000. Durst, she said, â€œwas all excited about American Psycho.â€? The woman said he had a room in his luxury Dallas apartment with concrete flooring and an electric saw. He told her he was dealing in â€œchemicals.â€? Several law enforcement officials have told me they now think Durst may be a serial killer, over a span that stretches more than 40 years. In the cases of his wife Kathie, his friend Susan Berman, and then Morris Black, he may have well had overt motives for killing them. But what about the various dotted lines that link those three known targets? During the Morris Black investigation, Cazalas thought that the murderer â€œhad done this before.â€? Durstâ€™s brother Douglas, who in a recent New York Times interview said that â€œthereâ€™s no doubt in my mind that if he had the opportunity to kill me, he would,â€? also believes that his brother killed a series of seven dogs, all named Igor. The judge from Durstâ€™s murder trial in Galveston believes that Durst left the severed head of a cat on her doorstep. I discussed the matter of what seems to be two distinct patterns of killing with a Northern California psychiatrist who specializes in criminal psychology. He said that, yes, the killings beyond the three we know of could be consistent with the pathology of a single serial killer. He also added an interesting caveat: That Durst choosing to be filmed on The Jinx could also be viewed as emanating from the same behavioral reservoirâ€”that of calling attention to himself and humiliating his family. As I went through my thick file of interview notes, reports and various articles that I had accumulated for this story, I came across a chilling note by investigator John Bradley out of the San Francisco Bay Area, written in October of 2004. â€œI

ROBERT DURST

RED CARPET BROWS? DONE.

I reasonably believe Durst was a serial killer. Others believe Durst only kills people he knows and with whom he has become enraged. I counter that his comfort level with killing is so secure, he kills strangers for practice then people directly connected to him and just does not worry about discovery. - John Bradley, San Francisco Attorney's Office investigator

reasonably believe Durst was a serial killer,” he wrote. “Others believe Durst only kills people he knows and with whom he has become enraged. I counter that his comfort level with killing is so secure, he kills strangers for practice then people directly connected to him and just does not worry about discovery.” It seems that Robert Durst is always trying to get caught—he said so himself in The Jinx. When he was asked about the letter addressed to the “Beverley Hills” Police Department on the day of Susan Berman’s murder, he acknowledged that the killer was “taking a big risk. You’re sending a letter to police that only the killer could have written.” Authorities in Los Angeles believe that Durst wrote the now-infamous letter. Moreover, Durst left mail with his address on it, along with parts of Morris Black’s body, in garbage bags in Galveston Bay; he told lies to New York City detectives about his wife’s disappearance that were easily discovered; he stole some Band-Aids and a hoagie at a market in Pennsylvania when he had $500 in cash in his pocket. Most recently, he urinated on some candy bars in a Houston convenience store while security cameras recorded his activities. Durst always has a counternarrative to explain away his actions. It’s a cat-and-mouse game

he seems to enjoy playing. How else does one explain his participating in a film project that ultimately resulted in his arrest? Through his high-priced defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, Durst has, of course, denied his involvement in all of these murders. But while much attention has been paid to Durst’s shocking confessional at the end of The Jinx—“There it is. You’re caught. You’re right, of course … What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”—there was an even more telling revelation earlier in the series, when he declared: “There’s a lot of people out there who think I killed my wife, that I killed Susan Berman, that I intentionally murdered Morris Black, and it’s quite possible that he’s killed a whole slew of other people.” (Emphasis mine). Note the change from the first to third person in the middle of the sentence. Nobody had brought up “other people.” In the parlance of poker players, it’s a tell. I asked Cazalas—who believes with certainty that Durst killed his wife and Susan Berman, along with Morris Black—if it would surprise him if Durst had killed more people. “No,” he says, with a long drawn-out pause. “No, no, it wouldn’t.” Maybe Robert Durst is trying to tell us something. Perhaps there are a whole slew of other people. Maybe, just maybe, he did kill them all.

<36 issues.â€? Big is definitely the word for a play that deals with nuclear fission, Nazi alliances and the moral culpability of a wartime trio. Research colleagues who were joined by science, Danish quantum physicist Niels Bohr and German atomic scientist Werner Heisenberg were also deeply separated by politics. Bohr, whose Copenhagen laboratory was the center of experimental physics at the outbreak of World War II, found himself deeply conflicted concerning the atomic bomb breakthroughs made by his protĂŠgĂŠ Heisenberg. Bohrâ€™s Jewish background and Heisenbergâ€™s connection with Nazi atomic bomb experiments not only made for personal conflicts, they also make for provocative drama. Celebrated British playwright Frayn (Noises Off) took their volatile relationship onto the stage in Copenhagen. The premise of the play is perfect for the Radius space. During wartime, Bohr and Heisenberg had worked on particle physics and taken it to the point of enabling the creation of an atomic bomb. Yet something happened at a 1941 meeting between the two men, witnessed by Bohrâ€™s wife Margrethe. Bohr essentially stormed out of the meeting. Afterward, Heisenberg refused to supply the final mathematical calculations to the Nazi research program, resulting in German failure to develop the atomic bomb during the war. What happened that night in Copenhagen is the subject of Fraynâ€™s gripping two-hour drama, set in an ambiguous time and space long after the death of the three witnesses. The play recreates,

from a variety of perspectives, this clash of personalities and morals. Along the way, the dialogue bristles with insider physics jokes, about uncertainty (Heisenbergâ€™s principle) and collisions of motives. â€œMy motive as a producer is always to give something important to the audience, to provide theater that affects them in some way,â€? says Spencer, who is convinced that Copenhagen, with its searing political and ethical undercurrent, is a great fit for Santa Cruz audiences. â€œMy feeling is that the moral questions raised will appeal to our audiences who really enjoy thought-provoking theater.â€? Admitting that putting together a dramatic production from the ground up is â€œabsolutely fun,â€? Spencer cautions that Copenhagen â€œis not an action show, itâ€™s a talking show,â€? a show about big personalities and big ideas. â€œItâ€™s got a minimal set and a small cast,â€? he says. Originally another actor was cast as Bohr, â€œBut when he dropped out I stepped in. I loved the character,â€? Spencer says. â€œAudiences will want to pay close attention. This is absorbing theater,â€? he promises. Copenhagen will feature Lucien Leutzinger as Werner Heisenberg, Mindy Pedlar as Margrethe Bohr, and Brian Spencer as Niels Bohr.

INSPIRATION FOUND A writers conference in Pebble Beach seeks to teach writers

how to get published, hone their craft and network with kindred spirits.

Draft Day Catamaran Literary Reader hosts writers conference BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

JUNE 10-16, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

f youâ€™re a writer, you know what it feels like to notice that itâ€™s late afternoon and youâ€™re still in your pajamas. You know how to ignore phone calls, friendships and dirty dishes to write detailed descriptions of pirate ships. You also know how to avoid the page at any cost. Itâ€™s a wonderful, terrible contradiction, the writing life, but what it often lacks is kindred spirits. This is where a Writerâ€™s Conference can be a great opportunityâ€”not only to get out of your pajamasâ€”but also to hone your craft and share your work in the company of other writers, teachers, and experts in the field. Catamaran Literary Reader is offering just that chance this summer, at its second writers conference from August 12-16. July 15 is the deadline for registration. The venue is stunning, right at Pebble Beach on the campus of the Robert Louis Stevenson school, where writers will experience four days of enviable food, lodging and inspiration. Catamaranâ€™s founding editor Catherine Segurson sums up this meeting of minds under the cypress trees of 17-Mile Drive. â€œWe take our model from what we do at Catamaran,â€? she says, â€œwhich is promoting good writing and getting

it out into the world. The conference is about getting your writing to a publishable form with the workshops, taking inspiration from the teachers and surroundings, and drawing career knowledge from the publishing panel.â€? The editors at Catamaran will be there, too, she adds, so youâ€™ll get to meet the people running the literary journal. â€œWe continue to keep in touch with our attendees with the intention of eventually publishing their work. Literary agents and publishers will also be available for one-on-ones.â€? Segurson reflects on the writing life, saying, â€œArt is long, and good writing can be a lonely process. To have the best work you can present, you need to be nurtured, and that writing needs to be fostered and improved. Thatâ€™s what weâ€™re trying to do here, create a community around you. Forming friendships with other writers in intimate groups and getting to know the instructors is like forming a tribe you can take back into your writing life and reach out to for support.â€? Cost of attendance is $1,250, and includes lodging, 12 meals, four days of literary workshops in a small group.

WALKING A MILE IN THEIR SHOES Singer-songwriter James McMurtry comes to Don Quixote’s on Friday, June 12.

Storied Teller

James McMurtry’s new album ‘Complicated Game’ could be one of the best Americana albums of the year BY CAT JOHNSON was already a big Johnny Cash fan, but he had never given much thought to where Cash’s songs came from. Once McMurtry latched on to the songwriting craft, he didn’t let go—and it shows. He is now regarded as one of the finest songwriters around, a master at getting into the minds and perspectives of others. In the song “Carlisle’s Haul,” from his new album Complicated Game, which is already being touted as one of the best Americana releases of the year, McMurtry sings about Gulf Coast commercial fishermen illegally fishing off-season to make ends meet. In “Long Island Sound,” he sings from the point of view of a Long Island workingman. In “You Got to Me,” he

explores lost love from the perspective of someone who has just come from a big city wedding and is standing out in the dark, in an undone three piece suit, reflecting on who he used to be. A lifelong Texan, McMurtry understands the characters he’s singing about, regardless of where they’re from. He says this understanding of them generally starts with a single phrase. “I just hear the lines,” he says, explaining that one line might stay with him for years before he puts it in a song. “If it’s a cool line, and it keeps me up at night, then I’ll finish the song.” But just because McMurtry doesn’t share the details of his own life in his

James McMurtry will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 12 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 603-2294.

ou won’t find a lot of personal information about James McMurtry in his songs. In fact, you won’t find any. The Austinbased singer-songwriter writes almost exclusively about fictional characters. “I get a couple lines and then think, ‘OK, who said that?’” McMurtry says. “I try to envision the character that would say that, and I can usually get the story from the character.” McMurtry has been interested in story songs since he was a child. When he was 9 years old, he was introduced to the music of singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson, one of the best at telling stories. At the time, McMurtry

songs doesn’t mean that he can’t be found in them. He is at once nowhere and everywhere in the stories he tells—a reminder that the storyteller can’t be separated from the story. His ability to write from the perspective of someone who may think completely different than he, McMurtry says, may have to do with the fact that he has a lot of cousins that live out in the country and vote Republican. He hears their perspective and they’ve inspired some of the characters in his songs that don’t necessarily agree with him politically. McMurtry is often referred to as a political writer or protest singer, but he says he’s only written maybe two straight-up protest songs. One of them, “We Can’t Make It Here,” is a takedown of the treatment—or lack of treatment, as the case may be—of military veterans. It was the song that launched him into the public eye. But pigeonholing McMurtry as a protest singer is not only inaccurate, it puts him in a position he doesn’t like to be in. “I’ve always had a little bit of social commentary in my songs,” he says. “But it’s dangerous to get onto a soapbox because you can turn into a preacher that way. You can start to write a song and wind up with a sermon and nobody really wants to hear it. On Complicated Game, there isn’t a straightforward protest song in sight. The album is intimate, with songs about the passing of time, complex relationships, blue-collar life, and finding your place in the world. For not writing from his own perspective, McMurtry is an expert at writing personal songs, and this album is perhaps the most personal one yet. On it, McMurtry explores his characters’ pride, love, joy, struggles, and regret. For being a master craftsman, though, McMurtry conveys a humble sense that he’s just following a songwriter tradition. “I kind of patterned my songwriting on story writers like Kristofferson and John Prine,” he says. “They were the models for me. I haven’t really invented anything here.”

BORN THIS WAY Lyrics Born plays Moe’s Alley on Friday, June 12.

The Born Identity

JUNE 10-16, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Lyrics Born finally finds the right groove on his latest album, ‘Real People’ BY AARON CARNES

couple of weeks ago, I watched Blackalicious perform an exciting set at Sacramento’s Concert in the Park. I’ve also seen DJ Shadow perform live, a couple of years ago at Live 105’s BFD, where he confused the audience with his schizophrenic, jarring song choices. These artists started out around the same time as Lyrics Born, all of them part of the progressive Solesides label in Davis. Watching both Blackalicious and DJ Shadow, I could feel their commitment to their art, and their drive to create something unique in hip-hop. I’ve never seen Lyrics Born, but I always felt he never quite

reached the heights of his Solesides mates—despite the fact that, thanks to the 2003 single “Callin’ Out,” he’s gotten more attention. But after just one listen to Real People, Lyrics Born’s newest record, I’m rethinking my stance. This record, his first solo venture since 2010’s As U Were, is a lively, popping album. The music is energetic and uplifting, right there with his bubbling flow—in fact, it surpasses it on several occasions. As much as I hate the cliché, there’s no better way to describe it than “party music”; I imagine this record blaring out of giant outside speakers and everyone in the neighborhood cutting a rug.

Oddly, Lyrics Born has been promoting this record as his darkest and most emotionally honest. “I talk a lot of foolish shit and cuss my ass off and explore my darker side on certain songs,” he said upon the album’s release. “Hopefully we get a good cross-section of ourselves to explore on this album.” It’s true that he touches on topics such as divorce, the recession, and being generally down and out, but the music in no way evokes any of this despair. If I didn’t speak a word of English, I would assume this was the feel-good album of the year. There are incredible elements to this record. The music is dazzling,

particularly on the front half of the album. Lyrics Born recorded it in New Orleans with Galactic’s Ben Ellman in the producer’s chair. Members of Galactic had a big hand in performing the backing music, as did other New Orleans greats like Trombone Shorty, Ivan Neville, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. They’ve done an excellent job of mixing the various subgenres of New Orleans music (funk, bounce, jazz) into a single cohesive and lively dance album. Lyrics Born, for his part, attacks the verses like never before. The line separating his singing and rapping is blurrier than ever. Unlike his droning, sing-songy flow on “Callin’ Out,” he sounds passionate and animated in every verse. Gift of Gab, emcee of Blackalicious, told me once in an interview that he viewed being an emcee as playing an instrument, and that he “jams” with the DJ the way two jazz musicians might riff off of one another. This attitude must have rubbed off on Lyrics Born. He seems tuned in to the spontaneity of the band, inspired to spit back exciting verses in response to their playing. This brings us back to the lyrics, by far the weakest element of the album. There’s the song “Good Riddance,” a story from the perspective of a man that’s losing his job, and is thinking about “going back to the office to do something that I will regret.” The track “Holy Matrimony” plays off the tired trope of a man getting married to a wonderful woman, who has to deal with her crazy mom. I have a different idea than Lyrics Born of what constitutes dark and honest. If anything, these stories seemed contrived. Even the lyrics on the title track, which I kind of like, are actually fairly dumb if you think about them too much. The chorus, “real people do real things/real people live real lives,” sounds like it means something, but does it? I say forget about the words—even if the emcee in question does have the word “Lyrics” right in his name. This is a fun, popping record, and I’ll bet it’s great material to see live.

‘THE BOYS WHO SAID NO!’ BENEFIT The Vietnam War was a major first in this nation’s history—the first to be broadcast into the living rooms of families across the nation, the first to incite a widespread anti-war movement, and the first to so glaringly increase the divide between generations. Young men drafted to Vietnam who didn’t agree with what they were fighting for were pitted against an entire generation of fathers who believed strongly in the duty to serve, as they had done in World War II. To explore those issues, the Resource Center for Nonviolence is hosting a fundraising party for the documentary film “The Boys Who Said No!” presented by Oscar-nominated director Judith Ehrlich and producer Christopher Jones, a former prison inmate who served time for draft resistance. Info: 3-5 p.m, Resource Center for Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. 423-1626. $10-$50.

Sherry Austin and Henhouse, awardwinning singer-songwriter Christie McCarthy, and multi-instrumentalist Rhan Wilson, the evening promises to be a lively affair. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20/gen, $50/VIP. 427-2227.

REGGAE

KABAKA PYRAMID Kabaka Pyramid started out as a moderately successful DJ and rapper in Kingston, Jamaica, but then started branching out into reggae, dancehall and R&B. His music is a slickly produced hybrid of the genres, but lyrically is a throwback to the spirituality and consciousness of the classic roots reggae era. More recently, he’s started singing political songs that are very specific to Jamaica—songs about the Spanish hotel franchises, the government’s arrangement with the International Monetary Fund and the whole thing with Goat Island. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $13/adv, $17/door. 479-1854.

ETHIO-SOUL

ESTER RADA With a sensuous soul-steeped sound informed by Jill Scott and Nina Simone, Ester Rada is one of the most luminous new voices on the world music scene. An Israeli actor of Ethiopian ancestry, she has gained attention over the past three years as a singer with a striking musical synthesis she calls “Ethio-soul.” For her West Coast debut, she’s touring with a stellar band featuring some of Israel’s top jazz musicians, including saxophonist Gal Dahan, trombonist Maayan Milo and keyboardist Lior Romano. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

INDIE-FOLK

MCCOMBS SKIFFLE PLAYERS Skiffle rose up out of rural America in the early 19th century, and was revived in the U.K. in the ’50s. It’s similar to jug band music and blends jazz, blues

and folk using primarily homemade instruments. Indie-Americana singersongwriter Cass McCombs’ supergroup the McCombs Skiffle Players isn’t exactly skiffle, but plays in the same vein as McCombs’ contemplative, subtle, emotive solo work. AC

HIP HOP

Five years ago, a YouTube video of a 15-year-old Joey Bada$$ freestyling caught the attention of the president of the Cinematic Music Group, who immediately agreed to be Bada$$’s manager. After three mind-bending, independent mixtapes filled with old-school beats, lyrical dexterity and a well-evolved flow, Bada$$ dropped his debut album, B4Da$$ (pronounced “Before Da Money”), this year on Relentless Records to critical acclaim. MW INFO: 8 p.m., Catalyst Club, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

FITNESS JUNKIES Cobie Smulders and Guy Pearce in Andrew Bujalski’s romantic comedy ‘Results.’

Personal Training JUNE 10-16, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Appealing cast in edgy rom-com ‘Results’ BY LISA JENSEN

f you’re not sure what’s going on, exactly, in the first few scenes of the romantic comedy Results, don’t worry. You are not alone. The story is set in the world of fitness trainers and their clients, and it takes a little while for the audience to figure out who’s who and what’s what as the characters’ dueling agendas play out and the nature of their emotional baggage is revealed. Still, the audience is way ahead of the characters, who persist in having no clue what they really want or how to get it. Which is, of course, the basis of romantic comedy. If the characters understood what they wanted, and seized it when it was standing right in front of them, there would be no movie. It’s a question of how much

fun, if any, is the journey from initial quest to, er, results. Fortunately, a talented cast makes the journey in Results pretty entertaining. As an added bonus, writer-director Andrew Bujalski keeps things just off-kilter enough that nothing seems to be a foregone conclusion—no relationship is inevitable, and anything at all might happen between the characters at any given moment. In a brief prologue, sad-sack New Yorker, Danny (Kevin Corrigan), is thrown out by his soon-to-be ex-wife. Transplanted to Austin, Texas to settle his late mother’s estate, he discovers he’s become a millionaire, and enrolls in a neighborhood gym called Power 4 Life to get in shape. (His goal, he

says, is to “be able to take a punch.”) The owner, Trevor (Guy Pearce), is a hardcore fitness junkie with a soft heart and an apostle’s starry-eyed zeal about the power of fitness to change lives. An apparent wild card is Kat (Cobie Smulders). She’s a star trainer at the gym, but her work habits tend to be erratic, as is her allegiance to her scheduled hours. She also has definite anger issues; out for one of her daily runs, she chases down a client in an SUV she spies eating a cupcake. Kat also reminds the woman her membership has expired and she owes them money—an aspect of the business Kat doesn’t think Trevor handles well enough, with his Zen-like taste for harmony.

Little by little, random bits of each characters’ psyche are revealed—but not before a lot of idle speculation on the part of the viewer. In fact, our expectations of what may or may not be going on between these people is part of the balancing act Bujalski manages to pull off. He also salts in arresting, telling details—like the electric guitar that middle-aged Danny buys with his newfound wealth (although his big, new house is almost empty). Or the way the outraged Kat acts out when a client quits on her. (Although she admits she has a “dark side,” if anyone “crosses a line.”) Meanwhile, Trevor, determined positive thinker but sketchy businessman, trusts that the universe will provide when he decides to expand his business to a new, bigger location. And just when we think we know how all these characters are going to interact, things shift—and that keeps the story interesting. The actors are very engaging. The ever-versatile Pearce, who has everything in his résumé (cold-blooded cops and killers, drag queens, costume epics) is wryly funny and strangely romantic—if always a bit edgy—as Trevor. Corrigan’s Danny comes across as mostly a harmless schlub (or possible stalker) with a deadpan sense of humor; even his cluelessness about—well, basically everything—becomes sort of endearing. But it’s Smulders’ unpredictable Kat who sets the plot in motion. While she seems like simply an angry virago at first, Smulders gradually layers on shadings of vulnerability, tart sarcasm, and unexpected winsomeness as her character evolves. The gym locale is fun too, with its buff trainers and cheerfully backsliding clients. In Bujalski’s tolerant universe, Trevor understands that he’s less a coach than a purveyor of dreams, ministering to the faithful, if they only believe. RESULTS (***) With Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders, and Kevin Corrigan. Written and directed by Andrew Bujalski. A Magnolia Pictures release. Rated R. 105 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ALOFT Twenty years ago, Nana Kunning (Jennifer Connelly) abandoned her son Ivan (Cillian Murphy). After a lifetime apart, the two are on very separate courses when a young journalist, played by Mélanie Laurent, brings mother and son together in a way that makes both question their lives—and the audience question how an actress only six years Murphy's senior could play his mother. Claudia Llosa directs. (R) 112 minutes. Starts Friday.

JUNE 10-16, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS Devastated by the loss of her canine companion, Carol seeks new meaning in a life that revolves around playing cards and socializing with her loyal retirement home friends. The former songstress and widow embarks on a new chapter involving unlikely friendships, new love interests, and reconnecting with her daughter. Brett Haley directs. Carol Blythe Danner, Martin Starr, and Sam Elliott co-star. (PG13) 92 minutes. Starts Friday.

JURASSIC WORLD Steven Spielberg apparently learned nothing about franchises that have worn out their welcome from the poor reaction to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Oh wait, that movie made hundreds of millions of dollars? Oh, maybe he did learn something! Anyway, in this one, there’s a new dinosaur park, and everything goes fine! Not really, but wouldn’t that be kind of awesome? (PG-13) 124 minutes. 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: ALIEN: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT (1979) In case you needed more proof that Ridley Scott doesn’t do things like any other director, the director’s cut of his classic sci-fi horror flick Alien is actually shorter than the original theatrical version. In stark contrast to the 99.9 percent of other directors who flood their special editions with supposedly precious

footage from the cutting-room floor, Scott focused on artful tweaks and slightly longer holds that make the film even more atmospheric without giving it that dreaded director’s cut bloat (e.g. James Cameron’s longer cut of Aliens, which did nothing but prove his instincts as an editor were dead-on the first time around). (SP) At the Del Mar, FridaySaturday 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) 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. 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. 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. 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-offact 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. LOVE & MERCY Paul Dano stars as a young Brian Wilson in this biopic of the troubled Beach Boy. (PG-13) 120 minutes. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Tom Hardy takes over the role that made the youthful Mel Gibson a star, and director George Miller takes the helm once again in this continuation of the postapocalyptic action franchise about souped-up, spare-part monster vehicles, huge explosions, and survival of the weirdest. Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Zoe Kravitz co-star. (R) 120 minutes. PITCH PERFECT 2 The sassy women’s a capella singing team that made the ﬁrst Pitch Perfect such a sleeper hit is back in this sequel, directed by co-star Elizabeth Banks. It’s a big-game movie with songs in which the Barden Bellas choke at a big concert, then try to re-earn their reputation by entering an international competition that no American team has ever won. Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, and Skylar Astin head the cast. (PG-13) 118 minutes. 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. RESULTS Reviewed this issue. (R) 105 minutes. 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. 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. 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. TOMORROWLAND Intent on turning every ride in their original theme park into a movie, the folks at Disney present this sci-fi mystery adventure about a jaded, former boy genius (George Clooney) and a bright teenage girl (Britt Robertson) on a journey of destiny to a place called “Tomorrowland” that haunts their dreams. Directed by Brad Bird (The Iron Giant; Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), from a script he wrote with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. (PG) 130 minutes. 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.

The gorgeous custom hanging lamps, clear glass shades and beautifully crafted bulbs are by local artisan Roy Johnson, whose lamps hang over the smooth-as-butter copper tasting bar. On one side, a wall of ornamental concrete tiles with mission-style geometrics helps

keep the intimate tasting room bright, and a chalkboard embedded in the center of the tiles will announce current pours. At last week’s walk-through, we sampled the current line-up of Venus Spirits, which include the celebrated Gins No.1 and No. 2 (in their crisply proportioned awardwinning bottles). El Ladrón agave spirit is the smooth, silky Venus version of tequila—and my new favorite agave spirit. Venus makes an all-American Wayward Rye out of organic corn, malted barley and malted wheat, 92 proof. Venus poured his single malt, a distinctly

non-peaty American version of Scotch whisky, offering up tones of hazelnut and toffee, to much approval. But my favorites were the latest gin and the caraway-seed intense aquavit. In the recently released Gin No. 2, Venus has captured the terroir of the Santa Cruz region. “I wanted to invoke the live oak and bay trees—as well as fennel in our landscape,” says Venus. A pale golden hue, the gin was aged in oak for two to three months and the aromatics chosen to match the coast—“fennel, bay, sage with bitter orange as a garnish,” says Venus. The elixir is utterly memorable and

SPEAKING OF HIGH SPIRITS Last week was national Negroni Week. I hope you took advantage of that to enjoy one of the world’s great cocktails. I fondly recall a Negroni I enjoyed at the legendary Rivoire Cafe, at the edge of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, watching the sun set on the Palazzo Vecchio. A brilliant balance of vermouth, campari and gin, the Negroni richly deserves its cult following.

LUNCH WITH RITA Last week, Ristorante Avanti offered a memorable taste of the season in the form of prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, grilled and served with a fluff of arugula ($9). It’s generous enough to call “lunch.”

for my money it would be a crime to use it in a cocktail. This gin demands your full attention, as does the aquavit with its notes of juniper, orange, cardamom, coriander and the dominant perfume of caraway. “I like this blended with vegetal items, such as cucumber and tomato,” the distillery founder reveals. Here’s how the Venus Spirits tasting room will work: Visitors can stop by from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, and from noon-7 p.m. on Saturdays to sample six quarter-ounce pours for $15, which includes a chic tasting glass etched with the Venus logo. Bottle sales are not yet available on site, pending governmental approval and the usual politics of red tape. But Venus is optimistic that the new year might see on-site sales. Meanwhile, of course, you can discover your favorites at the tasting room and then run out to one of many shops where Venus Spirits are sold, such as Shopper’s Corner and Whole Foods. I’m already adding Venus Spirits Gin No.2 to my holiday list for people who love to sample out-of-the-ordinary regional products. Seriously. These beautifully packaged spirits could be the ultimate Santa Cruz souvenir— all organic, all local, inflected with sensuous flavor notes. I keep a bottle of Venus Spirits Gin. No. 2 ready in my freezer for those emergency situations when only a hand-crafted gin will do. venusspirits.com.

recently got together with a group of friends at Cantine Winepub in Aptos, which accommodates groups well with its spacious interior and westfacing wooden deck (with a fire pit), which makes a sunset glass of wine all the more enjoyable. Located in the heart of Aptos Village, Cantine also offers small plates of food, such as bruschetta, marinated kale salad, a cheese tray, and other tasty morsels that are perfect for sharing. They carry a number of local wines, and I ordered an easydrinking Windy Oaks Sauvignon Blanc 2013 to pair with our food. Bright and zingy, this frisky white wine adds pizazz to your chai-cured duck confit or roasted beets. Crisp and uncomplicated, it’s a good match for many of the tapas-style food offered at Cantine. This 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is made with fruit from Remde Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and expert winemaker Jim Schultze has selected the best grapes to make a cool-climate wine with complex floral aromas. Crisp and refreshing with notable acidity, it sells for a mere $15 at the winery. The eye-catching label on the Sauvignon Blanc is a drawing of a woman on a swing with a feather in her hat, a boa around her neck, and her skirt billowing. Designed by famous French poster artist Jean-Pierre Got, it’s colorful and festive—with Got’s distinctly joyful touch. The limited edition

Cutesy Cupcakes Jeanette Fitzgearl on why everybody loves cupcakes BY AARON CARNES

s there a human alive who doesn’t at least kind of love cupcakes? I think not. Santa Cruz has its fair share of boutique cupcake shops, including Cutesy Cupcakes, started by a mother-daughter-grandmother team. We spoke with Jeanette Fitzgearl, one member of that team, about their 100-plus flavors and love of baking. They recently expanded their location in Scotts Valley to include frozen yogurt.

What’s so special about cupcakes?

Do you make custom cupcakes? We make custom cupcakes for different occasions and holidays. We have at least 100 different chocolate molds to make embellishments to top off the cupcake for almost any occasion—baby showers, weddings, sports, special interests, birthdays, etc. We have a fun cupcake for

What was the inspiration behind your apricot cheesecake cupcake? We have a whole line of cupcakes that we call our Cheesecake Cupcakes: Cherry cheesecake, key lime cheesecake, apricot cheesecake, and raspberry cheesecake. Each one has a graham cracker crust, fruit-filled cake and cream cheese frosting. Apricot is one of our favorite fruits so we had to make that one.

Do you have any other cupcakes with interesting back stories? We used to have a cupcake that we called The Loser. The name came from the time we participated in the TV show “Cupcake Wars” and were given some unusual ingredients to incorporate into our cupcake: Sweet potato, banana, toasted oats, prunes, and applesauce. It didn’t win but it was really good so we decided to feature it in our store. Hence, The Loser. 235 Mt. Hermon Road, Suite A, Scotts Valley, 430-9500.

JEANETTE FITZGEARL: Cupcakes are appealing because they are selfcontained. Ways to decorate them are almost infinite and there are so many different combinations of cake flavors and frostings. We have close to 100 different flavors of cupcakes, featuring a new flavor each month. It’s fun to be creative and come up with new cupcakes.

Fourth of July picnics that looks like a hamburger. We do cupcakes for many weddings and enjoy seeing the result of the brides’ choices of colors and decorations.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MERCURY DIRECT, NEPTUNE RETROGRADE Thursday, June 11, Mercury is stationary direct at 4 degrees Gemini at 3:33 p.m. Pacific Time. Numbers are important, the foundation of the universe both literally and symbolically. Mercury remains in its retrograde shadow until June 27. We proceed slowly into the world during Mercury’s shadow period. Gradually we assimilate new information, the previous information organized through the retrograde. Someday humanity will understand the order and organization offered by retrogrades, when humanity awakens to the greater (heavenly timetable) realities. Now, most of humanity is learning about emotions, polarized in desire—the astral field. There is beauty, color and dappled light in the astral. However, there is much more to discover beyond the astral/ emotions. There’s the mind. Friday, early morning around midnight, Neptune turns stationary retrograde. As Gemini (Ray 2, love/wisdom) stations direct, Neptune (Ray 6, hope, vision) retrogrades in the great

timepiece we call the heavens. Neptune begins at 10 Pisces, retrogrades to 7 Pisces, completing the retrograde November 7, Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Christ. Neptune, with its three-pronged trident, is the Christed waters (Aquarian World Teacher’s teachings). These are the “waters of life for thirsty humanity.” Waters of the Soul, the Fifth Kingdom. Humanity is the Fourth Kingdom seeking the Fifth Kingdom, the Path of Return. Sunday is Flag Day. Flags, unrecognized art forms, represent the spirit of the people in each nation, country and state. There is a famous “flag” by painter Nicholas Roerich representing unity through art and culture. Called the “Banner of Peace,” Roerich wrote that the cultural values within every nation and country unite humanity (Pax Cultura—peace through culture). If we created a flag of our values and culture and the spirit within each of us, what would that flag look like?

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Everything is new again. Visiting both the past and future, you’re encouraged to be more spontaneous and radical than usual. Off you go to places unknown and unusual, where things occur and friends appear and communication happens and travel (short distance), too, and then you become more creative than usual and this stays around for a while. Then the tests appear. Stay attuned.

It’s a good time to plan a trip, one of several, actually. Think about what you need to be more effective at work. Many variables show up in your work world, many dualities, this and that, here and there. Be aware and stand in the middle. Soon you may be encountering a past situation. Be ethical at work; allow nothing to interfere with this. At home, make more time for rest. In relationships, be the eternal flame.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Often, you don’t know where your money is, where it’s coming from or when, and you think you should be more careful—and for a moment you are (with money, finances and resources). Really, you have more than you think you do, but you’re holding onto things that could be used for other purposes. You talk some about money. But usually you’re silent. That’s lonely. And your relationship needs tending, too.

Again you wonder what your goals are, what you would like in the future, what types of friends would be good for you, and what objectives you want accomplished in the near future. Whenever there’s an opportunity to be with others, step into that group, radiate your special mysterious charm and see what occurs. Whatever you desire appears. It’s an interesting situation. But you must discern between wants and needs first.

GEMINI May 22–Jun20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Usually you speak in paradoxes, displaying duality, in metaphor or with humor, and sometimes people don’t understand either your message (its meaning) or your humor. Many don’t know you. But during this Gemini time something happens. Your heart opens for moments and we hear you speaking heartfelt words of what you love, how you feel, what you need and whom you’re missing. We’re listening carefully.

Professionally you’ve been finishing up previous contacts, agendas and plans. At times you felt restricted, seeing no open road ahead. Other times, you’re elated. Now a new impulse of energy comes forward. You may be asked to accomplish special tasks, something important is offered or appears and there’s a possibility of a power play acted out by another toward you. Don’t play the game. Be inspired by beauty instead. And children.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

It can be a time of either deep spiritual insights and midnight dreams or days of confusion, bewilderment, puzzlement, mystification and uncertainty. Both can be interesting, with the latter more uncomfortable yet providing great insights. You offer needed information to family. This allows them to organize their lives better so they better navigate into the future. No matter the circumstances you’re the “good enough” (excellent) parent.

Perhaps you’re seeking new people to in your life. Perhaps you’re being asked to join and/or speak to groups, offering them vital information collected and experienced over years concerning your gifts of caring for one or more kingdoms (land, soil, minerals, plants, animals, bees, humans, angels). Be aware that when you offer yourself to others, including resources, more resources are available. Venus enters your sign. Love happens.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 As you consider new projects and acts of creativity, the work seems to be emphasized at home and in daily life. You remember gathering family and friends together, planning dinners and outings and cultural experiences. You’re good at this, tirelessly working toward educating and enlightening others. You want some things different now. You remember you’re in a state of transformation. Stay in the garden.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 For a while to come, ideas concerning pleasure, happiness, fun and good times will be important, especially within relationships. You know everyone and everyone knows you—everyone’s an acquaintance. That’s the Aquarian task, to know all of humanity. It’s important to be in touch with children. Listening to them, communicating with them, eases your heart. We’re all children no matter our age. All children need listening to.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Your life in the world becomes internally and externally busy. You need energy to meet demands made by Mars holding hands with Mercury, your ruler. Self-reliance, self-confidence and personal achievements will emerge in the coming weeks. Revelations appear if you identify yourself with the qualities of Ceres, the harvest maiden, tending to nature, planting wheat and corn, honeysuckle and poppies.

Multiple events occur in your life at this time; upheavals, windfalls, joy, disappointment, stability, instability, wounds hurting and healing. You may be upset with a partner or those close to you. Relationships are conflictual for a time, partners having different needs. Communication with family is important. There’s a very important decision to be made. Both sides are equal. Both have equal needs. You must choose.

SHAWN McVEY, 18-Year Customer, Soquel

Occupation: Supply chain analyst, Specialized Bicycles Hobbies: Mountain biking, hiking, cooking, travel Astrological Sign: Aries What do you folks like to cook? SHAWN: “I make A lot of Asian and Italian food, Greek/Mediterranean, plus winter soups and stews.” JESSICA: “I like baking. My speciality is scones; I give them away to people, and they become hooked. I’m really good! I also cook Asian food. We’ve been getting into Shopper’s marinated meats. We love Shopper’s meats. They’re the best quality.” SHAWN: “The butcher shop is a 10 out of 10. We get cold cuts, ham hocks, chicken, a lot of lamb, and short ribs. If we’re doing a dinner night for friends, we might special-order duck, and more.”

The butchers take good care of you? SHAWN: “They’re informative and offer quality insights with their recommended recipes.” JESSICA: “They’re hilarious — Jeff and Ale are the best!” SHAWN: “Shopper’s feels like a family store but more so they know their customer base and what the community likes.” JESSICA: “The checkers are so sweet and kind, and they’re helpful. Same with the produce people. If you need only half a cabbage they’ll slice one for you.” SHAWN: “The produce is the freshest and the organics are the highest quality.” JESSICA: “He’s always staring at the mushrooms!”

Are you fans of their specialty products? SHAWN: “ I like both the hard and soft cheeses. I appreciate the quality and the freshness of the Spanish selections and the feta too.” JESSICA: “Their wines are fantastic. They always have sales, great deals, like the wines below the butcher counter.” SHAWN: “Shopper’s is a real centerpiece to the community and their business plan is completely seamless and sustainable. Other stores should model their operations with Shopper’s in mind.” JESSICA: “Shopper’s is addicting. You’ll save money and get the same quality as you would from those boutiquey stores.”
