OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE In February, someone asked me “Is Michael Moore all right?”

I wasn’t sure if this question was meant in the way that the Who would say “the kids are all right,” but, no, it turned out that the most successful documentary-maker of all time was actually in the hospital, and that it was serious.

Then he was out, and apparently recovering from pneumonia, but the news updates about his status quickly became pretty much nonexistent. What exactly had happened and what he was doing afterward were a bit of a mystery.

Well, mystery solved, as Moore himself explains it all in an interview I did with him for this week’s cover story. I was

Re: “Building Up” (GT, 4/13): Do you want seven stories of development in your neighborhood? Do you already sit in traffic way too long? Yes, that’s right, the Santa Cruz transit quarter zoning update includes approval for up to seven stories of development in these quarters. Please contact the Santa Cruz City Council and let them know this is unacceptable.

SNUB HUBBUB Re: “Ticket Snub” (GT, 3/23): I can’t feel very sorry for unemployed Section 8 voucher holders; after all, they have won a lottery of sorts with a lifetime annuity of potentially $1,000 or even more per month!

Your portrayal of Paul Steffen with his newly minted housing voucher illustrates why these folks have a hard time finding an apartment in Santa Cruz. First, many landlords are conservative after some bad tenant experiences, and may not be all too receptive to someone that chooses to dye his goatee red. Sure, it’s a form of personal expression, but to some landlords it’s a,

impressed with his latest film, Where to Invade Next, and local Bernie Sanders supporters will be interested in the way he ties it in to the current presidential campaign in our interview.

I saw Moore’s first film, 1989’s Roger and Me, in high school, and I feel like I’ve kind of grown up with him, in a way, since then. I also covered his last appearance here, at the Civic in 2003, for Metro Santa Cruz, and it was like Santa Cruz’s version of a national political convention. His return on May 14 should be similarly entertaining. See you there; I’ll bring my imaginary delegates.

Meanwhile, I hope you all have checked out our new website, goodtimes.sc. You can go there not only to read GT online, but to find exclusive content—for instance, Jacob Pierce’s freshly posted review of last weekend’s Do-It-Ourselves Fest.

well, red flag. And then I notice he has a large dog—something few landlords wish to take a risk on at their property. If Paul were serious about finding a place in Santa Cruz, he may want to treat it like he’s looking for a job and lose the dog in the process.

However, there is a place with plenty of apartments for folks like Paul and other unemployed voucher holders.

Unfortunately, it goes by names such as Modesto, Los Banos and Turlock. Paul says he wants to stay in Santa Cruz. Well, I want to live on the Upper East Side of New York, but I expect no one to give that to me. It’s not a birthright to live in Santa Cruz—it’s a privilege. Taxpayers should not have to subsidize unemployed folks to live here.

On the other hand, I’m wholly in favor of providing Section 8 vouchers to those working our notorious low-wage jobs here, and, as a landlord, that’s exactly what I do (I currently have 23 Section 8 tenants). We need our butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, and they deserve a subsidy to live close to where they work. Those not contributing to the economic engine of Santa Cruz: don’t expect us to subsidize your lifestyle and you’ll have better luck finding housing elsewhere.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“Silence is not silence, but a limit of hearing,” writes Jane Hirshfield in her poem “Everything Has Two Endings.”

This observation is apropos for you right now. There are potentially important messages you’re not registering and catalytic influences you can’t detect. But their apparent absence is due to a blank spot in your awareness, or maybe a willful ignorance left over from the old days. Now here’s the good news: You are primed to expand your listening field. You have an enhanced ability to open certain doors of perception that have been closed. If you capitalize on this opportunity, silence will give way to revelation.

On cracked.com, Auntie Meme tells us that many commonly held ideas about history are wrong. There were no such things as chastity belts in the Middle Ages, for example. Napoleon’s soldiers didn’t shoot off the nose of the Sphinx when they were stationed in Egypt. In regard to starving peasants, Marie Antoinette never derisively said, “Let them eat cake.” And no Christians ever became meals for lions in ancient Rome’s Colosseum. (More: tinyurl.com/historicaljive.)

In the spirit of Auntie Meme’s exposé, and in alignment with the astrological omens, I invite you to uncover and correct at least three fabrications, fables and lies about your own past.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Your ability to accomplish magic is at a peak, and will continue to soar for at least two more weeks. And when I use that word “magic,” I’m not referring to the hocus-pocus performed by illusionists like Criss Angel or Harry Houdini.

I’m talking about real feats of transformation that will generate practical benefits in your day-to-day life. Now study the following definitions by writer Somerset Maugham, and have faith in your ability to embody them: “Magic is no more than the art of employing consciously invisible means to produce visible effects. Will, love, and imagination are magic powers that everyone possesses; and whoever knows how to develop them to their fullest extent is a magician.”

GEMINI May21–June20 According to author Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian word toska means “a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness.” Linguist Anna Wierzbicka says it conveys an emotion that blends melancholy, boredom and yearning. Journalist Nick Ashdown suggests that for someone experiencing toska, the thing that’s yearned for may be “intangible and impossible to actually obtain.” How are you doing with your own toska, Gemini? Is it conceivable that you could escape it—maybe even heal it?

I think you can. I think you will. Before you do, though, I hope you’ll take time to explore it further. Toska has more to teach you about the previously hidden meaning of your life.

“Anybody can become angry,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle. “That is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” I’m pleased to inform you, Sagittarius, that now is a time when you have an exceptional capacity for meeting Aristotle’s high standards. In fact, I encourage you to honor and learn all you can from your finely honed and well-expressed anger. Make it work wonders for you. Use it so constructively that no one can complain.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 To celebrate your arrival at the height of your sex appeal, I’m resurrecting the old-fashioned word “vavoom.”

Feel free to use it as your nickname. Pepper it into your conversations in place of terms like “awesome,” “wow,” or “yikes.” Use a felt-tip marker to make a temporary VAVOOM tattoo on your beautiful body. Here are other enchanted words you should take charge of and make an intimate part of your daily presentation: verve, vim, vivid, vitality, vigor, voracious, vivacious, visceral, valor, victory, and VIVA!

In the 16th century, European explorers searched South America in quest of a mythical city of gold known as El Dorado. Tibetan Buddhist tradition speaks of Shambhala, a magical holy kingdom where only enlightened beings live. In the legends of ancient Greece, Hyperborea was a sunny paradise where the average human lifespan was a thousand years and happiness was normal. Now is an excellent time for you to fantasize about your own version of utopia, Leo. Why? First, your imagination is primed to expand. Second, dreaming big will be good for your mental and physical health. There’s another reason, too: By envisioning the most beautiful world possible, you will mobilize your idealism and boost your ability to create the best life for yourself in the coming months.

“Gandhi’s autobiography is on my pillow,” writes Cancerian poet Buddy Wakefield. “I put it there every morning after making my bed so I’ll remember to read it before falling asleep. I’ve been reading it for six years. I’m on Chapter 2.”

What’s the equivalent phenomenon in your world, my fellow Crab? What good deed or righteous activity have you been pursuing with glacial diligence? Is there a healthy change you’ve been thinking about forever, but not making much progress on? The mood and the sway of the coming days will bring you a good chance to expedite the process. In Wakefield’s case, he could get up to Chapter 17.

Poet Charles Wright marvels at the hummingbird, “who has to eat 60 times his own weight a day just to stay alive. Now that’s a life on the edge.” In the coming weeks, Scorpio, your modus operandi may have resemblances to the hummingbird’s approach. I don’t mean to suggest that you will be in a manic survival mode.

Rather, I expect you’ll feel called to nourish your soul with more intensity than usual. You’ll need to continuously fill yourself up with experiences that inspire, teach, and transform you.

“Anytime you’re going to grow, you’re going to lose something,” said psychologist James Hillman. “You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.” I nominate these thoughts to serve as your words of wisdom in the coming weeks, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, you are in a phase when luxuriant growth is possible.

To harvest the fullness of the lush opportunities, you should be willing to shed outworn stuff that might interfere.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 When he was a boy, Mayan poet Humberto Ak’a’al asked his mother, “What are those things that shine in the sky?” “Bees,” she answered mischievously. “Every night since then,” Humberto writes, “my eyes eat honey.” In response to this lyrical play, the logical part of our brains might rise up and say, “What a load of nonsense!” But I will ask you to set aside the logical part of your brain for now, Aquarius. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, the coming days will be a time when you need a big dose of sweet fantasies, dreamy stories, and maybe even beautiful nonsense. What are your equivalents of seeing bees making honey in the night sky’s pinpoints of light?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant detail reveals a whole world,” says artist Pierre Cordier. “Like the messages hidden by spies in the dot of an i.” These are precisely the minutiae that you should be extra alert for in the coming days, Pisces. Major revelations may emerge from what at first seems trivial. Generous insights could ignite in response to small acts of beauty and subtle shifts of tone. Do you want glimpses of the big picture and the long-range future? Then be reverent toward the fine points and modest specifics.

FACTORY VS. FACTS The beef industry is far from environmentally friendly, but grass-fed beef trumps

grain-fed when it comes to human health.

Fast Food Notion The sobering science behind hamburgers year—a figure that could not possibly be so high without our industrialized, post-agrarian food economy.

From an environmental standpoint, the beloved burger remains among the least-green menu choices one can make: Cows emit between 2.5 and 4.7 ounces of methane for each pound of beef produced—and about 13 times more global warming gases than chicken, pound for pound, according to a 1999 study at the University of East Anglia in England. Livestock accounts for about 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions globally, including 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide and 35 percent of methane, which have 296 times and 23 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide, respectively. It takes

more than 3,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef, according to the Water Footprint Network, though estimates vary depending on how far back you look in the production line.

But while the debate over whether grass-fed or grain-fed beef is better for the environment is a heated one, the debate over which is healthier for the human body is more conclusive.

The average feedlot cow eats 2,800 pounds of corn or grain during the “finishing period” of its short life, enabling it to put on about 1,000 pounds in a few months. (This may include organic beef, which is simply fed organic grains during the finishing period.) The problem with grain-fed meat lies in its omega-6 to omega-3

A

few years ago, blogger and gardener Waldo Jaquith set out to produce a farm-totable cheeseburger entirely from scratch. He even thought he’d write a book about the ordeal.

But ultimately, he gave up.

“Further reflection revealed that it’s quite impractical—nearly impossible—to make a cheeseburger from scratch,” he wrote. That’s in part because the ingredients of the cheeseburger as we know it are all in season at different times of the year.

Plus, “It would be wildly expensive— requiring a trio of cows—and demand many acres of land. There’s just no sense in it,” he wrote.

Nevertheless, Americans consume an estimated 50 billion burgers a

ratio; it can be as high as 20-to-one, and omega-6s are pro-inflammatory, says Dr. Dawn Motyka of KUSP’s Ask Dr. Dawn radio show.

“When you put animals in a pen, you’re increasing omega-6s, and you’re also increasing the saturated fat, which is also inflammatory,” says Motyka, who says she eats only grassfed meat about once every two weeks, since she knows it’s not an efficient conversion of protein.

“When you eat game animals that live on grass, the actual cell walls and cell membranes of that meat are rich in omega 3 fatty acids,” says Motyka. “And the ratio in the meat is about two-to-one, two omega-6 to one omega-3. That more closely resembles our ancestral diet.”

Grass-fed beef also contains more vitamin E and conjugated linoleic acid—all beneficial to human health— and is slightly lower in saturated fat.

Grass-fed cattle are not typically given antibiotics (though this isn’t guaranteed unless it’s organic), while it’s standard for cattle in “concentrated animal-feeding operations” (CAFOs) to get a side of antibiotics with their grain. Why? According to Dr. Andrew Weil, (who happens to be a vegetarian), the need for antibiotics results from the fact that cows are not adapted to digest grains—it wreaks havoc on their digestive systems and results in alterations in the natural flora of their gastrointestinal tracts.

In a 2016 test by Consumer Reports, 18 percent of samples of conventional ground beef and 9 percent of samples from sustainably produced beef were contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

“When you have a hamburger, that’s essentially meat paste, and bacteria can spread very rapidly,” says Motyka. “If you’re going to eat meat, it should really look like a piece of muscle,” says Motyka.

Yeah, but, sometimes we just really want a burger. Because we are hungry, because we are spoiled Americans, because it’s Tuesday. In that case, I recommend paying a little extra for the luxury and heading to Motiv’s Ulterior, Gabriella Cafe, 515 Kitchen & Cocktails, or burger., which all serve (delicious) grass-fed burgers. But remember, the healthiest burger—for the planet and for your body—is, alas, a veggie burger.

hat if the energy that heats your home and keeps the lights on could be cheaper, cleaner and more locally sourced?

That may be a reality as soon as the summer of 2017, with Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)—an idea that local leaders from Santa Cruz to King City and the far southern reaches of Monterey County have been talking about for years. Last month, Santa Cruz

County became the first in the group of regional partners to approve a feasibility study for the program.

A CCA allows cities and counties to create their own energy system, one that allows residents to drop their PG&E plan and opt-in. CCAs also purchase and support local green projects. The group can fund those projects by pooling revenue from the revenues it collects from ratepayers.

One goal of the project, says First District Santa Cruz County

Supervisor John Leopold, is to help create more renewable energy jobs in the Monterey Bay. Leopold says that PG&E profits from energy sales would instead stay in the community to fund clean projects, create jobs and stimulate the local economy.

The young boy was borderline autistic and suffered from anxiety and a learning disability when he went to see Dr. Jeffrey Hergenrather.

“He was like a raccoon in his office on that first visit,” says his mother, “Paula,” who requested anonymity for this story, as she described her son bouncing off the medical-office walls like a wild animal.

“Literally—like we brought a raccoon,” she repeats with a slight laugh.

That was about four years ago. Hergenrather, a Sebastopol-based physician, has recommended cannabis to children who have come through his practice since the state’s 1996 medical cannabis law was enacted. He recommends its use for medical conditions ranging from autism to epilepsy to cancer to genetic disorders and mental disabilities.

For autistic children and teenagers, cannabis “works so well for reducing anxiety, reducing pain and reducing agitation and anger,” Hergenrather says, especially as autistic children become adults. “The calming effect of cannabinoids has been a real plus for families.”

After her consultation with Hergenrather, Paula found a woman in Southern California who had developed an edible product, a brownie, especially for autistic kids.

“That was our first introduction,” she says, “and we started him on it two days before school started. He was just out of summer school, and that had been a hot mess—he was miserable, they couldn’t get him to do anything. That was two days before. Then he went to school without any protest, and he did every single task they put in front of him,” Paula says.

Parents and teachers and occupational therapists were shocked at the sudden change. “What the heck happened, what did you do?” Paula recalls them asking her, “and they were looking for me to say that we had put him on meds,” she says.

But Paula played off the inquiries, given the sensitivity and stigma around pediatric cannabis. “I guess we are having a good week,” she told them. “I played dumb. No one put a finger on what happened, but it was a big success.”

NEWS POWER STRUCTURE <13 capture those resources for projects we care about,” Leopold says.

Nearly half of greenhouse gas emissions created by the Monterey Bay region come from energy production.

Regional leaders created Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP), a public/private partnership, in 2013 to assess the environmental and economic impact of creating a possible CCA for the Monterey region, which includes 21 municipalities in Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey counties.

Each partner has passed resolutions in support of a CCA and has started reviewing the feasibility study, a cost-benefit-analysis which consultants from Pacific Energy Advisors finished in March.

The system puts the control of energy purchasing and pricing into local hands—allowing the community to decide what type of energy mix best serves their needs via CCA administrators who would decide which energy sources to use. PG&E would still transmit and deliver energy, as well as handle customer service.

Ratepayers will have an option to stay with PG&E, but Virginia Johnson, the project manager for MBCP, says it will be a tough sell for

PG&E to keep customers.

“We can double the amount of green energy that we use, pay the same rates, and we can book surplus revenues to fund local energy projects. That benefits the community, keeps the control local, the rate local, the money local,” says Johnson, also a staffer for County Supervisor Bruce McPherson.

CCAs began in Massachusetts in 1997, and have since been approved by six other states including California.

As of 2014, CCAs serve about 5 percent of Americans in more than 1,300 municipalities, including the counties of Marin and Sonoma.

The law requires PG&E to cooperate with CCAs, whether they want to or not. In 2010, PG&E donated $46 million to a ballot measure that would have made it more difficult for CCAs to form, but it was defeated at the polls. PG&E spokesperson Brandi Merlo says that a CCA’s implementation will not impact PG&E’s ability to provide services.

“We respect the energy choices provided to our customers,” she says, “and we are cooperating with CCA programs.”

PLUGGING FOR CHANGE Last year, approximately 30 percent of the energy delivered by PG&E came from state-qualifying

renewable resources like solar and wind. MBCP’s feasibility study offers three possible supply scenarios, all of which would produce more renewable energy than PG&E. Joe Jordan, a former researcher for NASA who teaches renewable energy at Cabrillo College, attended a recent meeting on the CCA proposal.

He’s overall optimistic about the possible switch, saying it’s a great opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But he’s also concerned that the CCA will be “too timid” in achieving its green goals.

“If you’re going through all this trouble, go big, be bold. The sky’s the limit,” Jordan says. “From my NASA background, let me just say: always be wary whenever anyone says it couldn’t be done.”

California’s energy regulations require that all electricity retailers, including CCAs, provide a minimum 33 percent of all electricity from eligible renewable energy sources by 2020, and 50 percent by 2030.

MBCP recommends using a variety of renewable sources, among them— solar, geothermal and wind.

MBCP has highlighted three different supply scenarios they are considering. Each would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase renewable energy and keep the rates equal to or lower than PG&E’s.

The first scenario’s rates >18

WORLD OF DIFFERENCE It seems that every day in the news, global leaders squabble over influence and power, trading blame for the world’s problems. But maybe westerners could learn a thing or two by looking elsewhere.

A Cinco de Mayo event, led by a UCSC professor at the Live Oak Grange, will discuss what stories from people south of the equator have to offer. “There is so much richness we are missing in cultures of the southern hemisphere,”

coordinator Lynda Francis says.

Fernando Leiva, a UCSC professor of Latin American and Latino studies, will present “Decolonizing our Minds with the Epistemologies of the South.” He says people often see European and American histories as “universal,” a problem he plans to discuss. “It’s about freeing ourselves from certain ways of thinking and opening ourselves,” Leiva says.

Leiva argues that a history of colonialism continues to shape our world today, excluding

other perspectives from our frame of thinking. And that, he says, has made it hard to tackle major challenges.

Those challenges, some of them environmental, are the context for Leiva’s talk. The event is sponsored by two environmental organizations, 350.org and the Santa Cruz Community Action Network, both of which aim to slow and reverse climate change.

The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom is sponsoring it, as well.

Leiva says many of the

world’s problems, such as wealth inequities or environmental crises, stem from post-colonial mindsets that value progress and growth over community and people.

“We have to open ourselves up to other ways of seeing the world,” Leiva says. “We are trying to confront the problems that we face with a very small set of ideas and perspectives.”

The event is at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, at the Live Oak Grange, 1900 17th Avenue, Santa Cruz. There will be a potluck starting at 6:15 p.m. SALLY NEAS

DAILY GRIND Many parents looking to use cannabis to help their children are on their own. The legal landscape around pediatric cannabis can put parents at risk.

STRAIN OF COMMAND <13

the state, in a gray-area legal world where the conditions being treated may not be as serious as childhood cancer, but are nonetheless debilitating to families.

The 1996 California law legalizing medical cannabis didn’t come with any age limits on who can or can’t access it, but physicians are boxed in by an overarching federal scheduling of the drug that says marijuana has no medical benefits whatsoever, and the absence of a state law that would legalize cannabis outright.

Even as pediatric cannabis protocols and attitudes are in flux, parents in Paula’s situation are pretty much on their own, she says, and with the risk of a call to child protective services (CPS) if they are not careful with the cannabis they provide their children.

“Because it’s not fully legal here,” says Paula, “[Hergenrather] can’t tell us what strain, what dosage, where to get it—it’s on the parents to figure it out.”

She credits the work Hergenrather has done on behalf of children in California, as she points out the twisted ironies of cannabis law

and morality. “He treats so many kids that are so successful, but their parents are afraid to tell their doctors why,” she says.

Paula and the doctor agree that the best medicine is whole-plant medicine that balances the compounds cannabidiol (CBD) and THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis) with the terpene oils in the plant.

“CBD is a great physical healer,” Paula says, “but we are focused on cognition.”

By itself, she says, CDB-only products “did absolutely nothing” for her son.

Paula and her husband took it upon themselves to find the right medicine for their son. Paula’s husband does the medicinal cooking, she says, after they’ve secured one of two strains of Kush, which is hard to come by because you have to grow it outdoors in order to be working with organic product. They use the Northern Lights variety for depression and the Blue Dream to treat their child’s anxiety, she says.

“We learned a lot about it [by] cooking it on our own,” says Paula, who has been making cannabis capsules for her child for

four years. She and her husband were open to cannabis treatment for their child all along, she says, unlike many parents who are equally desperate, but “who have this stigma, that this is a horrible drug. For them to have to figure it out on their own, that’s nearly impossible.”

But the government’s ban against children feeling any sort of euphoria has meant the advent of products such as Epidiolex, which comes from Great Britain and is “a federal investigational new drug which is 99-percent CBD and 1-percent non-THC cannabinoids,” Hergenrather says.

“The reason they took out the THC is purely political,” he adds. “THC is a great anti-convulsant. So when doctors in my specialty are trying to control seizures, sometimes they get access to Epidiolex.

People qualify to use it, but if they are not getting as good control for seizures as they’d hope to, they’re bringing back more of the THC into the product that they are using.”

Products that contain all the compounds, he says, “work better. You get better pain [relief], better anti-cancer, and it’s a better medication for treating seizures. Kids don’t

seem to have a problem with more THC in the meds. It’s a fiction.”

Pediatric cannabis got a big boost from CNN’s resident physician Sanjay Gupta in 2013, when he reported on an extract made from a Colorado strain called Charlotte’s Web that helped to control the grand mal seizures of a young girl named Charlotte Figi.

Hergenrather noticed the difference a TV star can bring to a debate. “Parents got a lot more comfortable with it—if they see it on TV. Hey, they can do it too,” he says.

In the four years that she has used cannabis to treat her son’s conditions, Paula has noticed a shift in public opinion, too.

“Parents are more open to it, now they are bringing it up. But there’s no step-by-step guide to treating your kid with cannabis in 2016,” she says. “They need some guidance, and there isn’t anything. We want so badly to be that voice, be that support group, but it is so risky. Even if it’s legal and there’s not necessarily an age limit, it just takes that one person to call child protective services. In the end, maybe you keep the kids, but who the hell needs that anxiety?”

would be less than or equal to PG&E’s, with customers saving an average of 42 cents every month in the first year. The CCA proposal would produce an estimated 20 percent fewer emissions than PG&E right away and an estimated 42 percent fewer emissions by year 10.

The CCA proposal would double the renewable energy compared with what PG&E provides, and the energy sources would be local.

In scenario two, there would be more savings for the ratepayer than in scenario one. The average household would see average monthly cost savings of 68 cents over the first 10 years. Emissions would also be lower than in the first scenario over time. Scenario two outlines a plan for buying more renewable energy credits—importing clean energy, instead of producing the bulk of it locally. The CCA would produce an estimated two and a half more times renewables than PG&E does.

Scenario three saves ratepayers the most money, with the average household saving $4.50 per month over the first 10 years. It leverages both local renewable energy and energy credits. This CCA is estimated to produce only 1 percent more renewable energy than PG&E. This is the only option that would leverage hydroelectric power from dams, a power source no longer considered renewable in California because of ecological impacts, even though the energy is carbon-free.

The startup cost of a CCA is $2 million, a small burden that all the partners would share. MBCP expects the money to be paid back in less than four years.

Partners have until Oct. 31 to decide whether or not they would like to be included in the CCA. And even if they don’t decide at that point, they can still opt-in in the future.

Santa Cruz County could go through with the CCA by itself, as it does not require other partners in order to move forward. However, Johnson says it will be beneficial to everyone if more groups join in.

“There is a great advantage to an economy of scale,” Johnson says.

“The more buying power we have as a tri-county improves our ability to procure the best energy.”

DREAMER DEFERRED How Michael Moore threw himself into election-year politics, made a comeback film, wound up in the hospital, and started all over again with a tour coming to Santa Cruz. And yes, he’s for Bernie.

BY STEVE PALOPOLI

R

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 4-10, 2016

olling into this election year, Michael Moore was in a fighting mood. The 62-year-old director of the highest-grossing documentary of all time, 2004’s Fahrenheit 9/11, had a presidential candidate (Bernie Sanders) he believed in, and several (the entire GOP slate) that he was itching to take down. There was a toxic-water crisis in his hometown of Flint, Michigan—the setting and subject of his debut film, 1989’s Roger and Me—and by January he was calling for the arrest of the state’s governor, Rick Snyder.

Perhaps most importantly he was ready to release Where to Invade Next, his first film since 2009’s Capitalism: A Love Story, with a plan to hit the TV and press publicity circuit harder than ever—part promotion, part political crusade. The American left’s foremost provocateur was back.

Then, less than a week before Where to Invade Next opened in theaters, it all came crashing down. Admitted to a New York hospital on Jan. 31, he spent a week in intensive care, forcing the cancellation of his promo tour. Exact details were hard to come by at the time, and though Moore was in good spirits when he posted a Facebook update shortly after, his admission that “trying to get back to just breathing is enough of a burden” didn’t exactly inspire confidence in his health.

He says now that he understands why fans were worried about him.

“I was worried about me,” he tells me from an “undisclosed location” while on an overseas trip. “But I’m fine now. I got pneumonia. I didn’t get it checked out as soon as I should have, and ended up in the hospital with it. Don’t ever do that.”

While he was out of commission, his film hit theaters with less than the typical amount of fanfare for a Michael Moore documentary (though

FIRE STARTER Moore’s controversial 2004 film ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ was the most

successful documentary of all time.

<21 of course it did extremely well in Santa Cruz). However, it’s one of his best. Whereas his films like 2002’s Bowling for Columbine and 2007’s Sicko took deadly serious topics and found some humor (and a lot of outrage) in them, Where to Invade Next inverts the paradigm, taking an absurdly funny premise—that Michael Moore himself is going to “invade” several European countries to steal their good ideas—and finding the hard truths about American life inside of it.

While stretching geographically, Moore also stretches emotionally, and Where to Invade Next is more pensive and philosophical than anything he’s done before. Sure, there’s outrage to be had over what isn’t being done in the U.S., but there’s also joy and genuine wonder

in the way he celebrates what is being accomplished elsewhere. It’s a shame that, so far, this is probably his least-seen film since his 2002 breakthrough into the mainstream.

So you can understand why Moore feels like he’s got some catching up to do. If his to-do list from last week—over the course of which he declared the GOP a “dead party” and wrote a letter to President Barack Obama berating him for what Moore sees as a dismal and shortsighted response from the president to the Flint crisis—is any indication, he’s jumped right on it. On Saturday, May 14, he’ll continue making up for lost time when he speaks at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.

DREAMER DEFERRED <22 election, and how much will you be discussing your support for Bernie Sanders at the Santa Cruz event?

Well, we’re in the craziest election year of anyone’s life—no matter what your age. So I’m going to try to make some sense out of it, if that’s actually possible. Which I think it is. I’m concerned about what’s happening, and what’s going to be happening in November. I have a lot of thoughts, based on the movie I just made, about Bernie’s whole platform. None of it’s new, it’s all being done in dozens of other countries and everybody’s happy.

That doesn’t mean those countries don’t have their own problems, but they aren’t problems with seeing a doctor when you get sick, they aren’t the problems of being in a debtor’s prison once you leave college, they aren’t the problems of getting daycare for your kids, or maternity leave when you have a kid, or on and on and on and on. Hillary and others have said he’s all pie in the sky, it’s all up-in-the-air stuff. Actually no, it’s all happening on Planet Earth, as we speak. And I have the proof. I have a two-hour piece of evidence.

What inspired the premise of ‘Where to Invade Next’—parodying the idea of U.S. imperialism and using it for positive social change?

When did you decide to turn that into a movie?

Oh, a long time ago. For as long as I’ve been a filmmaker, I’ve thought about it. And I’ve done it at different times in Sicko and other films, I’ve shown people what it’s like in other countries. I live in a country where nearly 70 percent of the population

Celebrate Mom with Style & Taste

I thought the idea you chose for each country was interesting.

Many of them were not the ones people would probably expect, like in France. I mean, if Michael Moore is going to talk about something good in France, no one thinks it’s going to be school lunches.

Well, as a filmmaker I like to make movies that are the kind I like to go see. And when I go see a movie, I don’t like to know in advance what I’m about to see. Including while I’m watching the movie—if I can figure out what’s going to happen 10 minutes from now, I’m instantly bored. I know the audience will think I might go to France for something else. So part of it is my fun I’m having with the audience and their expectations. Part of it is we didn’t do a lot of research for this film, we just kind of went over there. A lot of it was things we discovered in the moment. When you see the look on my face when that Italian couple told me they get 15 days for their honeymoon? That what-the-fuck look on my face?

That’s a real look. I didn’t know that until they told me on camera.

The ideas in the film started coming to me when I was 19 and I got a youth hostel card and a Eurail pass, and I went to Europe with a backpack. I spent the summer seeing something different than the United States, and I was kind of amazed. I kept thinking “why don’t we do this?” or “why don’t we do that?” And every trip I’ve taken since, I have the same feeling.

never leaves home. So it’s very easy to fool Americans, ’cause they haven’t seen it. Using the idea of U.S. imperialism, that’s just my frustration with a decade-plus of this country butting its nose where it’s not wanted. And I thought “What if we did a different kind of invasion? What if we invaded not to kill people, but just to steal some good ideas?”

<25 school my kids are going to go to?” [The Finnish] mean it, they really mean it. I mean, they really mean it. It is critical to them that every school is of the same quality, no matter if it’s in a poor neighborhood, a rich neighborhood, whatever. Then again, when I say “poor” and “rich” in countries in Europe, their income inequality is not as wide as ours.

Bernie Sanders has referenced Finland when defending his proposal to make college tuition free at public universities.

When the [Finnish] education minister told me that thing about no tuition, the law—that applies to colleges, too. So there are no private colleges to speak of. So I said, “You mean you don’t have a Harvard?” And she said, “Yes, we do have a Harvard. We have 19 Harvards. We have 19 public universities.” I said, “C’mon, though, cut the bullshit. You can’t tell me that the person who’s going to the

University of Helsinki is getting the same education as the person going to the University of …”—and then I just made up “Lapland,” you know, where the reindeer are?

And she looks at me and goes, “I am a graduate of the University of Lapland. And I am the Minister of Education.” It was like, oh my god.

So … they mean it.

I wonder what she’d think of our public education system.

When I watch the movie with an audience, the most sniffles I hear from people tearing up is during the Finland scene of the movie. Because we know our kids are getting screwed.

Your past films have all been shot in the U.S. What was it like filming internationally?

I had more fun making this movie probably than any other film. We decided right from the beginning that we were going to make a film not about other countries, but about

DREAMER DEFERRED

“There are now 11 documentaries that have been made about me by the right wing. One of these days I’m going to have a little film festival of just the anti-Michael Moore films.” - Michael Moore <26 ourselves. And my challenge to the crew was, “Let’s see if we can tell a story about the U.S. without shooting a single frame of film in the U.S.” Because after doing this for 25 years, as an individual this has to be interesting to me, too. I have to get excited about it, and I’m not looking to do the same old thing. I want to do something that’s more challenging.

So I thought, what if we did this where we have a little bit of archival footage, of U.S. prisons or whatever, but we will not ourselves shoot through our cameras a single frame in the United States of America.

But the entire film is clearly about the United States of America. On some level, I don’t give a rat’s ass about Finland and their education system. I care deeply that we have sunk so low, and maybe we can learn something from them.

Well, people are still being poisoned.

They need to remove and replace all the pipes now. That’s a big job, and Obama should be sending in the Army Corps of Engineers to do it—and he isn’t. He announced today that he’s going to go to Flint next week. I wrote a very angry post about that and put it on Facebook a couple of hours ago.

It’s been interesting. Mostly I see the humor in it. There are now 11 documentaries that have been made about me by the right wing. One of these days I’m going to have a little film festival of just the anti-Michael Moore films. I think that’d be pretty funny. And there’s probably been at least half a dozen books written.

Look, I’m one of the few people on the left who have crossed over to have a wide mainstream audience, in Middle America especially. We on the left are usually confined to the Church of the Left, which if it’s a movie theatre, it’s, you know, the Film Forum. If it’s a town, it’s Santa Cruz. I mean, right? So they don’t make 11 movies about Noam Chomsky—and they should, because he’s a dangerous man because he puts out a lot of truth. But his audience does not go to movies at the supermall in Hays, Kansas.

Michael Moore will speak at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium. Tickets are $33$53.75, call 420-5260 or go to santacruztickets.com.

In 1989, you were documenting devastation in Flint, Michigan in your first film, Roger & Me. Almost three decades later, the situation there is even worse— thanks to the toxic water crisis.

You’ve been following this closely, what do you think needs to be done?

Over the course of your career, the biggest change seems to have been that while you started out as an outsider trying to get access to the powerful, you yourself have become powerful, at least in terms of cultural influence.

People make movies about you now. What’s it been like for you on a personal level to experience that shift?

blond hair and the dancing fretwork.

Committed to Celtic music, Coulter found his calling a few decades ago and never looked back.

Originally from New Jersey, Coulter came out to Santa Cruz to attend UCSC, where he now teaches classical

guitar. As Coulter grew up, he says “everything was about classical music.” His father had founded a choral group that performed in Carnegie Hall. “We had a harpsichord,” Coulter says. “I grew up surrounded by classical music and instruments.”

After high school, all three of his siblings headed for California.

“My brother Steve left a note on the refrigerator. It said ‘Go West Young Man!’” And so he did. Music beckoned seriously in 1984. “My brother Steve, who plays Celtic harp >32

<30 [and teaches in the UCSC Writing Program], inspired me to pursue it,” says Coulter. “We formed Isle of Skye—my brother, me, Chris Reader on fiddle, and singer Beverly Slade.”

Armed with hammered dulcimer, harp and guitar, the group played old Irish and Scottish music at Caffe Pergolesi and the Saturn Cafe. “Our gigs were mostly local,” Coulter says.

“Still, I always had a strong feeling for classical music,” he says. “Even during the folk music phase, I never got over my love of classical music.”

Next came a bachelor’s degree in music at UCSC, thanks to the mentorship of harpsichordist Linda Burman Hall. “Women have always been angels in my life,” he admits, with a wild Irish rover grin. Next came an MFA in classical guitar performance from the San Francisco Conservatory, followed by a second master’s in ethnomusicology from UCSC. After a trip to Ireland, Coulter went to Portland, Oregon to study with the brother of Celtic music icon Enya. Irish music had devoured him.

The old tunes cast a deep spell, at once haunted and haunting in their mournful beauty. Coulter felt the allure. “I love it. I listened to a lot of Bach when I was young, much of it contains a dance energy— the Brandenburg Concertos, for example. Irish tunes have that same driving energy,” Coulter says. “That’s what moves me. The dance vibe.”

Coulter updates the music he collects from living performers. “I’m not the ‘keep the tradition alive’ artist,” he admits. “I’m more the interpreter and arranger. I make instrumental arrangements from songs.” The melodies, the Irish language—“the sound is old and beautiful to me,” says Coulter. “I listen to contemporary Irish singers.

I make arrangements of these melodies. I work with these and make them my own.”

Coulter happily confesses to taking “a classical California pop approach to making Irish my own.”

Nine out of 10 Irish singers took their material from other sources, he reminds me. “My experience has taught me that the real tradition is to have the music live on and move

on—not be in a museum,” he says.

Restless and generous in his performing, Coulter plays and tours with several groups from two to three months out of the year. One is called One Lane Bridge, “with John Weed on fiddle, me on guitar, and Aria DiSalvio on cello. We perform folk music from Galicia, Brittany, Scandinavia, Ireland, and America.”

With Coulter’s intricate and driving guitar at the center of the music, the trio’s sound is enchanting and lilting.

And more. He’s recently formed a new duo with Edwin Huizinga called Liquid Gold, which he describes as “virtuoso violin meets Celtic guitar” performing arrangements of Bach and Vivaldi, as well as Bulgarian and Swedish folk music.

William Coulter won a Grammy in 2005, and he continues to orchestrate performance triumphs. He just completed a residency with the Omaha Symphony, where, as visiting artistic director, he created a lavish production called “Celtic Journey.”

“I spent a year building that show—arranging music for traditional musicians, dancers and a storyteller, including an 80-piece orchestra. We had two sold-out shows,” he says, beaming. The prospect of producing more Celtic Journeys is tempting. “It might be that I go on for years doing it with many orchestras. I can reproduce it locally, using local musicians and dancers,” he says.

Seasoned performing artists like Coulter exist in a landscape of networking. He can show up anywhere with his guitar and immediately attract collaborators.

“I feel so ridiculously blessed by how I’ve lived my life,” he grins.

“Music never ends—there’s always more to learn. That’s the beauty of it.”

Info: William Coulter plays with Edwin Huizinga as Liquid Gold at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 7, St. John’s Church, 125 Canterbury Drive, Aptos. Tickets $16/adv, $20/door, brownpapertickets.com.

I’m completely aware of what it is. I choose to do it.”

A former journalist, Madigan broke into the mainstream in 2004 when she was a finalist on the second season of Last Comic Standing. Her peers and friends, people like Ron White and Lewis Black, are iconoclasts—tried-andtrue unique comedians whose lives are measured in the miles between the gigs they do each night.

Providing an equal dose of truth and hilarity, Madigan says that while the miles pile up, the core of her comedy hasn’t changed over time.

“The big issues,” she says.

“Whether it’s gun control or abortion or racial equality, it’s all still on the table. Nothing has been resolved.”

omedian Kathleen Madigan has been on the road performing 300 nights a year for 25 years. And unlike many younger comics, she doesn’t feel the need to make her career a whole lot more complicated than that. She still believes in the simple power of just getting in front of people onstage and making them laugh.

“Some of the newer comedians think they have to have these podcasts and think they have to have a web series,” she says. “I don’t understand how it’s helping. Just go tell jokes. Write more jokes. Jokes, jokes, jokes. It’s an old-school way of doing it, but it works.”

Even trying to keep things as simple as possible, there’s still plenty to do besides her shows, with late-night TV appearances on Conan, CBS’s Late Show and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore; performing for the troops; and her comedy albums.

And she’s certainly not a Luddite.

NOT QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Jim Lewin’s Edge of the West plays Moe’s Alley on Saturday, May 7.

Front and Centered MAY 4-10, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Santa Cruz’s Jim Lewin steps back from a successful sideman career to focus on his own music BY CAT JOHNSON

34

A

s a young music student, Jim Lewin had what he thought was a promising start as a drummer.

When it came time to upgrade from his practice mat to an actual drum, however, his mom suggested that he take up the guitar instead. Lewin has since become a renowned guitarist, and his mom hasn’t forgotten why.

“I once said, ‘Mom, remember when I was going to be a drummer and you pushed me over to guitar?’” says Lewin, who has performed with Todd Snider, Peter Rowan, Leftover Salmon, Gillian Welch and others. “And my mom said, ‘Yes, and you’re welcome.’”

Despite his musical success, however, Lewin, who hails from Santa Cruz, is not well-known here at home.

Early on, he played with “a gazillion bands,” including the Continental Drifters and Harmony Grits, but he eventually left town and launched a career as a professional touring sideman. While playing arenas and big venues on the road with other artists, he didn’t have much opportunity to build a local following.

These days, Lewin is back in Santa Cruz, working with his own band, Edge of the West. Residing at the intersection of country, Americana, rock and what Lewin calls “hippie

jam band stuff,” Edge of the West gives Lewin a chance to explore his own ideas and music.

“I’ve decided to become a bandleader and push some of my own creative impulses to harvest,” he says, “and to create the sort of band that I think will be of service to the community, and have something to add to the national conversation. Even in this saturated environment, it’s still important to have roots-based hippie music where people can gather to socialize and party and have a shared love of the roots and the future.”

Lewin also wants to show his hometown audience what he’s been

working on for decades.

“This is my base, and these are my people,” he says. “It means a lot to me to be recognized at home, and for my family to get to see this.”

His music is influenced heavily by the artists he’s performed with over the years. In particular, he points to bluegrass mandolin legend Frank Wakefield, who Lewin describes as the missing link between Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass, and David Grisman, who ushered in progressive bluegrass in the 1960s; Great American Taxi, an Americana and country act formed by Vince Herman of pioneering jam band Leftover Salmon; and country singersongwriter (and one-time Santa Cruzan) Lacy J. Dalton, who Lewin toured and recorded with for years.

About his time with Dalton, Lewin says he learned a lot about the music business, about writing, and about “navigating life as a person who’s fated to base their life around music and make that work.”

On Saturday, Dalton joins Lewin at Moe’s Alley to celebrate the release of Edge of the West’s selftitled debut. The album, which showcases Lewin’s love of rock, jam and country, is full of wild stories about conspiracies, good times, romance, and the drug-fueled rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. Lewin describes the album as his comic book record, a collection of 12 little stories that are a bit absurd and campy. Beneath the surface, however, the album addresses more serious topics of people making their way through life, searching for meaning and love.

On it, he blends elements of the music he loves into an Americana meets garage jam-band sound that he calls “cosmic honky-tonk.”

“I use the term ‘cosmic honkytonk’ to describe it,” he says.

“I try to plant a tie-dyed flag,” he says of his cross-cultural, openminded appeal. “My concerts are a good place to bring your hula hoops, your tie-dyes, and also your cowboy boots and a jug of moonshine.”

Edge of the West will perform at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 7 at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $13/door. 479-1854.

BIKE WEEK

WEDNESDAY 5/4

It’s a whole week dedicated to bikes— or, rather, the people who ride them.

It all starts with a Bike Night at the Museum of Art & History, with free helmet giveaways, stencilling, spin bike art, bike decorating, bike stunts, and arts and crafts. Spokesman Bicycles hosts a free class on how to fix a bike flat on May 7 and Epicenter Cycling will take the ladies out for a Girly Ride mountain exploration later that day. And that’s just the beginning— there’ll be cleanups, wilderness rides, movie nights, food, gear, clinics, free breakfasts, and so much more. Check out ecoactbike.org for a full schedule.

Ride on, Santa Cruz, ride on.

THURSDAY 5/5 LUNAFEST 2016 Besides the whole pay discrepancy thing, the ridiculous beauty standards, agism, etc., one of Hollywood’s most absurd pitfalls is the glaring lack of women directors. Go to our film guide and scroll through the list of films opening this week. Most directors are men—it’s just the way things are. And it’s really about time that this changes, which is why Lunafest showcases award-winning short films by, for and about women. This year’s festival debuts its nine films featuring a wide array of female stories from boxing to housewifery, fighting breast cancer to parenting a transgender boy. This year’s festival will benefit WomenCARE of Santa Cruz County.

Info: 7 p.m. Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. lunafest.org. $20-$35.

FRIDAY 5/6 ‘FORGOTTEN WORKS’ FIRST FRIDAY OPENING Friday, May 6, Bridget Henry and Ann Altstatt unveil their collaborative work, “Forgotten Works,” at the Felix Kulpa Gallery. It’s mixed-media, installation and film, with a series of 16th-century woodcuts channelling things like “Whom it happened unto,” and “Force cannot be overcome by force.” Wood cuts have been lost in time and Henry and Altstatt seek to give them new life through an exploration of cultural amnesia, loss of species, climate change, and geological memory. The exhibit will also feature paper works from both artists and a short stop-motion woodcut animation during the First Friday opening.

Since putting into effect her suggestions for my new home, I’ve become aware of a much easier time communicating. Also, there are more friends calling to offer help. My life feels quite a bit warmer than it did just a few weeks ago before I started making the changes. I would say, the Chi has found me! And I am glad.

LOCAL BAND HENRY CHADWICK

What’s a Stupid Brother to do? For years, Henry Chadwick played poppunk with his brother George (hence their name My Stupid Brother), but that’s slowed way down now that George has left Santa Cruz.

“He moved to New York and got his master’s,” says Henry of his brother George Chadwick. “He’s married, working at Apple. He’s having a life, being a real grown-up.”

MAY 4-10, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Even though Henry stayed in Santa Cruz and continues to focus his energy on music, he’s doing some growing up as well. He’s been playing drums for the Coffis Brothers, but folks can get a listen to his new tunes on his debut solo record, Guest At Home, which he’s releasing Sunday at Moe’s—only his second show with live band Henry Chadwick and Battlesnake. Fans of My Stupid Brother’s pop-punk sound might be a little surprised at the direction Henry has gone.

52

“I’ve definitely been into other music for a while. It’s definitely a new sort of sound for me,” Henry says. “Most of the songs have a blend of old ’60s and ’70s influence—the Kinks, the Beatles, and some Bowie and T-Rex—but also some Nirvana, too. Hopefully it falls pleasantly between genres.”

The first song that Henry released off his EP, “Alright,” has a bit of an electronic feel and a mid-tempo groove, which is an outlier for the rest of the record. Also, his live band, Battlesnake, performs all the tunes in a much more rock ’n’ roll style.

LANEY JONES & THE SPIRITS

WEDNESDAY 5/4 FOLK-ROCK

LANEY JONES & THE SPIRITS When Laney Jones first picked up the banjo, it was to escape the pressures of life as a college student pursuing an international business degree. Jones soon found herself thrust into a career as a roots singer-songwriter, where she garnered acclaim and even attracted the attention of bluegrass legend Alison Krauss. Not one to be stuck in any one genre, however, Jones started experimenting with incorporating pop and rock into her sound.

The result is a fresh and rocking blend of old-time strings and contemporary styles. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 5/6 FUNK-JAZZ

KARL DENSON’S TINY UNIVERSE Why don’t more funk jams have flutes?

When Denson’s funky-jazzy band the Tiny Universe starts up with one of their infectious grooves, and Denson pulls out his flute to lay down the melody, I’m not going to lie—I need to dance. On their latest record, they even do a rendition of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” that is downright funkalicious.

Is that even possible? Denson’s also an excellent sax player, and he’ll bust that out, too. Fans of good dance music will appreciate how he melds raw, hip-shaking funk rhythms with jazz-level compositions. It’s satisfying to the heart and the head. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 479-1854.

FOLK

SHARON ALLEN With a sweet, strong voice that brings to mind early Joan Baez or Kate Wolf, Sharon Allen is one of the quiet standouts of the local music scene. From 1979 to 2002, she fronted blues-rock band the Firebirds, and she’s performed with a number of legendary musicians, including B.B. King, Boz Scaggs, and Robben Ford. It was her work with local all-star group Sherry Austin and Henhouse, however, where she cultivated her

songwriting chops. On Friday, Allen and her band, the Dusty Boots, blend folk, alt-country and blues into a swinging, danceable celebration of music. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $18/door. 335-2800.

ACOUSTIC

TOMMY EMMANUEL Tommy Emmanuel’s set list might include some Chet Atkins, Beatles, or even “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz. So it isn’t so much a genre (or genres) that Tommy Emmanuel plays, it’s how he plays the songs.

He’s a phenomenal acoustic guitar player that utilizes some very complex, nuanced fingerpicking techniques. He plays bass parts, melodies and chords all at once. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $39.50. 423-8209.

EMI SUNSHINE How many 11-year-olds do you know who count the Louvin Brothers as a key musical influence, can sing the cobwebs off of traditional old hymns, and have already made their Grand Ole Opry debut? Probably none. Unless, of course, you already know about Emi Sunshine. Hailing from East Tennessee, this extraordinary young multi-instrumentalist has a soulful sound that is as deep and true as just about anything you’ve heard coming out of Appalachia.

Where Ms. Sunshine is headed remains to be seen, but roots music fans would be wise to keep an eye on this one. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

JAZZ

SO HIDEOUS

BILL CHARLAP TRIO Bill Charlap’s trio is one of the marvels of straight-ahead jazz, a sleek and efficiently swinging ensemble that interprets standards with entrancing momentum, exquisite dynamic detail and probing harmonic insight. The scion of an accomplished show biz family (his father was Broadway composer “Moose” Charlap and his mother is Grammy-nominated vocalist Sandy Stewart), Charlap refined his craft as an accompanist for masters such as altoist Phil Woods, vocalist Carol Sloane and baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan.

Since stepping forward as a leader in 1997, he’s performed and recorded with the superlative rhythm section tandem of drummer Kenny Washington and (unrelated) bassist Peter Washington, a

What’s a metalhead to do if they secretly love sweeping, orchestral classical music, but don’t want to be labeled as “square” by their friends? Aha! So Hideous is here to save the day. Here’s a band that, first off, has a name that is pure metal, and second, has some brutal hardcore/black metal guitars.

But really, So Hideous is an orchestral band. They even write all their music on piano first, before flushing it out with the rest of the instruments. On their latest record Laurestine, they even hired a 30-piece orchestra to play on their tunes. It’s emotionally stirring and marries gorgeous and ugly music really well. Hell, maybe So Hideous can be the gateway drug for classical fans to start digging on some metal. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

INFO: 7 p.m. Thursday, May 12. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/ adv, $27/door. 427-2227. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, May 6 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

Cruz, there are still hidden gems, if one knows where to look. This Saturday, two of those jewels shine together as the Beggar Kings perform at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Consisting of a “who’s who” in the local music scene, the Beggar Kings are the Bay Area’s premiere Rolling Stones tribute band.

Throughout the years, they’ve tackled some of the Stones’ toughest albums, like Sticky Fingers, and keep a wide array of Jagger and Richards classic hits in the back pocket. It’s only rock ’n’ roll, but you’ll like it. MAT WEIR

Does 20 appearances at the Monterey Jazz Festival secure your standing as a musical superstar? How about 17 albums, or work on three Clint Eastwood films? These are just a few of the feathers in the cap of jazz guitarist Bruce Forman. Drawing from be-bop, western swing and more, Forman bridges eras and styles with a lighthearted approach to making music and an unceasing work ethic. His group Cow Bop was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame in 2014, and he’s provided more than 2,500 free music lessons for young musicians through his JazzMasters Workshops. On May 12, he brings his trio, comprising Alex Frank on bass and Marvin “Smitty” Smith on drums, to town. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

CHANELLING CHET Ethan Hawke plays Chet Baker in Robert Budreau’s ‘Born to Be Blue.’

False Notes MAY 4-10, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Invented plot can’t do justice to jazz great in ‘Born to Be Blue’ BY LISA JENSEN

58

T

he publicity for Robert Budreau’s Born to Be Blue calls it an “anti-biopic” on the troubled life of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker (now as famous as a lifelong heroin junkie as he once was as an icon of the cool West Coast jazz scene). Instead of trotting out mundane and depressing facts, the filmmaker zeroes in on a crisis point in Baker’s life, then invents a fictive character to act as Baker’s muse, conscience and sounding board.

While most of what happens in their main story is not strictly true, Budreau tries to stay true to the essence of Baker through the process of invention—the way a

jazz musician might improv his way through a familiar tune. It’s not a bad idea, but it might have worked better if Budreau’s stylings as a filmmaker were more dynamic.

(Think of Bob Fosse, reimagining his own life in showbiz as a glitzy musical fantasia in All That Jazz.)

Budreau doesn’t quite muster up the same pizzazz; he mostly makes up stuff and presents it straightfaced, without revealing any more than a more truth-oriented telling would. Yes, there are moments when Ethan Hawke’s performance as Baker strikes just the right note of fragile, demon-haunted vulnerability— especially in the final act. But these

moments are set in a larger story that takes too long to get going, and too often loses its way.

In 1966, Chet Baker (Hawke) is shivering through withdrawals in a jail cell in Italy when a Hollywood movie producer comes to see him.

Flashback to 1954, a moody blackand-white sequence when youthful Chet, already a star on the West Coast, is playing at the famous Birdland jazz club in New York City for Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie.

Between sets, nervous Chet takes a girl from the bar back to his dressing room; she introduces him to heroin just before his wife walks in on them.

All of which turns out to be a

movie about Chet’s life in which he’s starring as himself. (Which must be the only way Budreau could think of to introduce scenes from the youth of a beautiful man known as “the James Dean of Jazz”—and have him played by 45-year-old Hawke.) There never was any such movie, nor was there a saucy young black actress named Jane (Carmen Ejogo), who plays his wife in the film-withinthe-film.

But that doesn’t stop Budreau from turning her into the most sympathetic character in this movie. Sort of a composite of a black Frenchwoman Baker was attached to in the ’50s, and an English actress he married in the ’60s, Jane is warm, loyal and sensible. (In Budreau’s version, she even teaches Chet how to have better sex.) She stands by her man, even after a beating by drug dealers knocks out all his upper teeth, and Chet has to learn to play the trumpet all over again. This incident did happen, and Budreau uses it as a turning point for Chet to face his life.

But it would be nice to see (and hear) more of the young Baker in his prime. There’s hardly enough music in the first act to justify our interest, or to understand what he lost in giving in to drugs. But Baker was also a singer, and Hawke does a credible job approximating Chet’s sweet, stark, reedy tenor on “My Funny Valentine.”

But the movie Chet never emerges as a person of substance. Early on, Jane talks to somebody on the movie set, asking why so many women are attracted to Chet—even though he spends all of his pay on drugs and doesn’t have a place to live. It’s a question the movie never answers.

When Chet tries to romance Jane, chiefly by pawing her and trying to talk his way thorough her defenses, it’s kind of creepy; it’s creepier still when she capitulates so soon. Yes, women were always drawn to him, even after his good looks and stardom were gone. But Budreau can’t draw us in in the same way. He sticks to the surface of the Chet Baker mystique, without ever making us care about the man underneath.

BORN TO BE BLUE **1/2 (out of four) With Ethan Hawke and Carmen Ejogo. Written and directed by Robert Budreau. An IFC Films release. Rated R. 98 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK A BIGGER SPLASH IMDB may have given this only a 6.5/10, but we give the trailer alone a solid 9/10. That mystery! That intrigue! And with Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton (she’s a rock star—no, really, she’s literally playing a rock star), plus the pretty love interest from The Danish Girl, can you really go wrong? Dakota Johnson is in it as well: we’ll allow it. Luca Guadagnino directs.

Matthias Schoenaerts co-stars. (R) 124 minutes.

BORN TO BE BLUE Reviewed this issue. (R) 97 minutes.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: A bunch of superheroes! Captain America and Iron Man fight! Marvel things! Anthony Russo, Joe Russo direct. Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johanssen co-star. (PG-13) 146 minutes.

CODE OF HONOR Hey, so Steven Seagal is still making action films.

Michael Winnick directs. Craig Sheffer and James Russo co-star. (R) 106 minutes.

MAY 4-10, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GREEN ROOM With a slew of brilliant young indie actors, including Imogen Poots, Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat and Joe Cole (seriously, these kids have done some terrific under-the-radarflicks very much worth Netflixing), this terrifying thriller looks like something that even a scaredy cat film blurb writer might sit through. Add Patrick Stewart to the mix in a very twisted punk rock thriller about maniacal skinheads and you get something terrifyingly good. Jeremy Saulnier directs. (R) 95 minutes.

60

SING STREET From the man who brought Once and Begin Again into this world, it’s another promising coming-of-age tale, but this time with all the horrendously fantastic fashion of Dublin in the ‘80s. Add in teen aspirations of love, fame, and just making it out of high school alive and it’s a heartwarming tale that doesn’t make you want to puke (we hope). John Carney directs. Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Aidan Gillen, Maria Doyle Kennedy co-star. (PG-13) 106 minutes.

VAXXED If the local anti-vaccination crowd want someone to rally around, they’d be hard-pressed to find a worse person than Andrew

Wakefield, the director of this documentary. The co-author of a 1998 study that claimed to find a link between autism and the mumps, measles and rubella (MMR) vaccine, Wakefield’s misconduct was so extensive it can’t be summed up in this space; rather, it’s best to read every word you can find about both his study (which was fully retracted in 2010, after more than a decade of wrongly persuading innocent people that there was genuine science behind his assertions) and its fallout. The end result was that a review board investigating him in his native Britain upheld dozens of charges against him, and he was barred from practicing medicine there. Yet he’s continued to maintain his innocence—including in a book where he laid out the supposed conspiracy against him—and now he continues his crusade with this film. It wasn’t screened in advance, but this line from a review in the Guardian speaks volumes: “Vaxxed isn’t quite as inept or loony as YouTube docs in the vein of 9/11 hoax film Loose Change. There are even some stretches where it feels like a real (albeit boring) movie.” Ads bought for this film (including in this paper) are trying to spin this kind of response into “the movie they don’t want you to see!” Uh, who, movie critics? Why? Because it’s boring?

(NR) 91 minutes.

NOW PLAYING CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM. APRIL AND THE EXTRAORDINARY WORLD Stuck in the age of steam without the hope of innovation and under the rule of Napoleon V, France’s minds begin to disappear. Avril (voiced

by Marion Cotillard) goes out in search of her missing parents with help from her talking cat and an unlikely ally.

French with English subtitles. Christian Desmares, Franck Ekinci direct. Marion Cotillard, Philippe Katerine, Jean Rochefort co-star. (PG) 106 minutes.

BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT Calvin’s Barbershop is threatened when the surrounding community takes a turn for the worse, but the hair-cutting heroes band together to make a permanent change. And with Ice Cube, Nicki Minaj, Common, Eve, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Anthony Anderson, Regina Hall, and Lamorne Morris (only the best character on New Girl, hey Winston!) at the helm, they’ll surely be able to make their neighborhood safe again. Malcolm D. Lee directs.

(PG-13) 112 minutes.

BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE It’s the ultimate battle of chiseled jawlines. And Jesse Eisenberg is the villain! But who is the real villain here? Who are the real heroes? Who’s the beauty playing Wonder Woman? What’s Holly Hunter doing here? Who wore the spandex better? But, most importantly, is Ben Affleck’s back tat real? So many questions, and only 153 minutes of Marvel to find answers. Zack Snyder directs. Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams costar. (PG-13) 153 minutes.

THE BOSS Melissa McCarthy in the snazziest selection of turtlenecks you ever did see. Ben Falcone directs.

Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage co-star. (R) 99 minutes.

CRIMINAL Kevin Costner as a convict who has no feelings? How strange, he’s generally so emotive. Ariel Vromen directs. Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gardot co-star. (R) 113 minutes.

DEADPOOL He’s a special ops dude who’s transformed into a super-human in a rogue experiment, left with an indestructible body and the face of chopped liver. How many almost-funny superheroes with the voice of a Disney prince has Ryan Reynolds played now?

Tom Miller directs. Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller co-star. (R) 108 minutes.

EYE IN THE SKY “If they kill 80 people, we win the propaganda war. If we kill one child, they do.”Would you be willing to risk the collateral damage of one innocent girl to save uncounted thousands in the future? Putting a face to a faceless killing machine, Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, and the late Alan

Rickman take on the implications of modern drone warfare. Gavin Hood directs. (R) 102 minutes.

GOD’S NOT DEAD 2 It’s Sabrina the teenage witch! Except she’s a high school teacher who, when asked a question about Jesus in class, says something that lands her in court, arguing the existence of God. Remember the hot gardener from Desperate Housewives? He’s in it, too. Yes, they made two of these films.

Harold Cronk directs. Jesse Metcalfe, David A.R. White, Ray Wise co-star.

(PG) 121 minutes.

HARDCORE HENRY You, yes you, are Henry—a crazy superhuman who has been resurrected from the dead without memory of your former life.

Now you have to save your wife from a warlord who wants to bio-engineer soldiers. It’s a first-person action film from Henry’s point of view. Pro-tip: to avoid freaking out, it’s probably best to not do any drugs before watching this film. Ilya Naishuller directs.

Sharlto Copley, Tim Roth, Haley Bennett co-star. (R) 96 minutes.

THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Everyone is super fierce, excellently CGI’d and wearing the best in fairytale attire (especially Emily Blunt as Freya and Jessica Chastain as badass huntswoman Sara) in this sequel.

Charlize Theron’s faux English accent is still a little hard to swallow, but we’ll let it go because Chris Hemsworth may be getting shirtless in this one. Plus, no Kristen Stewart in this pre-Snow White rendering. Cedric Nicolas-Troyan directs. (PG-13) 114 minutes.

KEANU Dear cat lovers, stoners, maybe cat-loving stoners: rejoice, a movie entirely about cats, as told by cats. Cats undercover. Cat gangs. Cat strippers. Cat alcoholics—cataholics?

Cat drug dealers with guns ablazing.

It’s catacular. Peter Atencio directs.

Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Will Forte co-star. (R) 98 minutes.

THE JUNGLE BOOK Did anyone think just how terrifying a live-action version of The Jungle Book would be when they saw the 1967 Disney classic (and no, the 1994 version doesn’t count even if Westley from The Princess Bride was in it)? All adults are invited to be equally excited for this fantastic reinterpretation brought

to life with newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli and the various jungle animals voiced by Hollywood heavy-hitters Billy Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, and Scarlett Johansson. Jon Favreau directs. (PG) 105 minutes.

KNIGHT OF CUPS Christian Bale gets to party through Hollywood with six different women, all perfectly proportioned and with a zero-percent BMI, including Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett—and he’s all lost and tortured about it. But it’s “experimental drama,” so, it’s really meaningful and zeitgeisty. Terrence Malick directs. (R) 118 minutes.

MILES AHEAD Don Cheadle is Miles Davis, and Don Cheadle directs Don Cheadle as Miles Davis. Enough said.

Emayatzy Corinealdi, Ewan McGregor co-star. (R) 120 minutes.

MOTHER’S DAY A heartwarming tale about love, life, and motherhood.

Or, whatever. Gary Marshall directs.

Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts co-star. (PG-13) 118 minutes.

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 Right, because we’ve all been on the edge of our seats in anticipation of a sequel to the Greek family comedy … for 14 years. Kirk Jones directs.

Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Michael Constantine co-star. (PG-13) 94 minutes.

RATCHET & CLANK For those who might’ve gotten overly excited at the movie title, it’s not that kind of ratchet. Instead it’s an animated film based on the video game series featuring a Lombax with a dream, a nefarious space captain, a robot and a mechanic. Kevin Munroe, Jericca Cleland direct. James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, Jim Ward co-star. (PG) 94 minutes.

ZOOTOPIA Thank goodness it’s become OK for adults to watch kids’ movies (it has, right?). We’d gladly take a cunning bunny cop with her fox informant trying to uncover a conspiracy in a city of adorable animated animals than watch Gerard Butler do … well, anything, really. Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush direct.

Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba co-star. (PG) 108 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK arugula, and satiny vinaigrettes adorn my latest favorites. The lamb burger has a following, as does the remarkable lasagna and the house signature Brussels sprouts appetizer, dotted with squash, pancetta and pumpkin seeds. Last week we split a strawberry pie dessert and moaned our way through ripe berries, a cookie crust and a sexy layer of whipped cream.

Martinez keeps an eye on the house from his steamy kitchen, always upbeat and radiating energy. Service is strong and the prices are friendly. Everybody has a neighborhood spot, a go-to dining room that offers just what you feel like having, the wine you enjoy without having to think too hard, and an atmosphere that is welcoming. Pizzeria Avanti has achieved that rare balance, and chef/ owners Martinez and Serna are the key to that appeal. Pizzeria Avanti, 1711 Mission St., Santa Cruz. Open 5-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 5-9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. 425-1807, pizzeriaavanti.net.

Longtime chefs become owners of neighborhood favorite Pizzeria Avanti, plus Mother’s Day at Alfaro BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

t’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years since the original Avanti concept moved down Mission Street, leaving the former cozy bistro to blossom into its new identity as Pizzeria Avanti. Since that time, chefs Hugo Martinez and Rene Serna have been firing up the pizza oven and finessing nightly specials—and in the process reminding Westside locals just why they’ve always loved this little spot in the tiny Palm Street strip mall. Well, now it’s official. The two talented chefs are officially the sole owners of Pizzeria Avanti. Congratulations! It’s

a tough business in any economy, but growing a restaurant, sticking with it, re-inventing the salads and pizzas every night, and adding depth to the wine list—all of this requires more than just skill. Martinez worked as chef at the Ristorante Avanti for 15 years before the transition to pizzeria.

Serna cooked at Carried Away in Aptos before joining Martinez in the busy Avanti kitchen. Their chemistry as collaborators and menu creators is obvious and notable.

Whenever we dine there—at least once a month—the main dining room fills up, with some regulars at the wine

bar and a steady steam of patrons coming to pick up their takeout pizza orders. The pizza specials—last week we inhaled a delicious creation of portobello mushrooms, organic asparagus, olives and feta—are always deeply satisfying.

Did I mention that not only do Avanti’s pizzas showcase perfect thin crusts, but the dough itself is addictively delicious? Old World pizza made by New World experts.

But the salad specials—always featuring what’s just come into the farmers markets—are remarkable.

Beets, avocados, shaved fennel,

If your mom is like mine, she appreciates a lively afternoon in the vineyards. And so you might just consider a visit to the everlively, ever-welcoming Alfaro Family Vineyards this coming Mother’s Day weekend. There’s a lot to interest even the most finicky, worldweary mom. For example, there’s winemaker Richard Alfaro—a force of nature himself and a one-man tribute to living well, drinking well and dining well. But if your mom needs more than just one winemaker to make her day, there will be live music from 1-4 p.m. (on Saturday

by Those Guys, on Sunday by Ken Constable). Also, seven wines poured for your mom’s edification and delight, and light snacks. All of this is free for members of Alfaro’s rapidly expanding wine club. For those not yet in the club, there is a fee for tasting and snacks. If your mother wants to extend her special day all the way to Wednesday, May 11, take her to the Shadowbrook where the Alfaros will be on hand pouring halfpriced wines with complimentary hors d’oeuvres in the Rock Room Bar and Lounge. Be good to your mom!

Discovering the bite of the moment with the Akamai Pupu BY LILY STOICHEFF

T

he first time I met chef Zachary Mazi of LionFish SupperClub, I tried duck carnitas ice cream.

It was cold, creamy, tasted exactly like taco filling—and was, surprisingly, not that bad. He and business partner Tighe Melville had recently moved into the kitchen above Motiv and used the unusual concoction as a demonstration of how they’re trying to maintain the spontaneity and playfulness of a popup in a brick and mortar space.

There is no better reflection of that mission on their menu than the Akamai Pupu, or “clever appetizer.”

Neither the customer, server or chef knows what this $10 bite will be when it’s ordered. The ticket prints out in the kitchen, and the chef is forced to improvise.

So, on my most recent visit, I sidled up, hoping the kitchen was up for a challenge. The first pupu arrived cradled in an abalone shell: two cilantro marinated prawns with a pleasant spicy heat over bacon and polenta. I sipped a tangy Country Road cocktail with bourbon, mint and ginger beer, and ordered another. The server returned with a flavorful salad of golden and ruby beets, cucumbers, radish, a generous amount of feta, feathery New Zealand spinach and

strawberry vinaigrette.

By the time I ordered the last pupu, the kitchen was on to me. The final bite to arrive involved three colorful crostini spread with a bright green pesto of spring herbs, the first dry-farmed tomatoes from the farmers market, luscious smoked salmon, and arugula sprouts.

As I took the last bite, the sous chef came out with a grin. “Is that your last one? I’m just getting warmed up!”

I told him for the moment, it was, but I’ll definitely be back for more.

Ulterior is open from 5 p.m. until late Wednesday through Saturday.

DOUBLE THE LÚPULO

Lúpulo Craft Beer House teamed up with Sante Adairius Rustic Ales to celebrate their second anniversary.

The downtown pourhouse and Capitola brewery collaborate yearly to create Doble Lúpulo, a double IPA bursting with orange aroma and flavors of zesty pink grapefruit. Hints of pineapple and lemon peel finish off this well-balanced—but at 8.2 percent alcohol, heavy hitting—brew. Head to either establishment to grab yourself a glass, and hurry. Like a birthday, this joyous occasion only comes around once a year, and will be here and gone before you know it.

Award-winning Chardonnay from picnic-worthy estate BY JOSIE COWDEN

B

yington Winery is a wonderful place to visit. The estate consists of 95 acres of stunning property, including a lovely tasting room and impressive vineyards. Weddings, corporate events and private parties are held both outdoors and indoors.

Picnic tables, umbrellas, and gas and charcoal grills are available for visitors to use (bring your own tools) for a fee, and require advance booking. Picnic tables are on a firstcome, first-served basis, but can be booked in advance for parties of 10 or more. Space heaters are also available, as well as a bocce ball court to enjoy.

The last time I visited Byington was to attend a friend’s gettogether, and those invited brought food to share. To picnic, all that’s required from the winery is that you buy half a bottle of wine per person.

Santa Cruz native Andrew Brenkwitz is the winemaker at Byington, and he’s producing some excellent varietals. His 2013 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay ($30) won a silver medal (American Wine Society) and gained 90 points in Food & Beverage World. With its delicate aromas of orange blossom, green apple and flavors of oaked vanilla and spice, this crisp and delicious wine is

a great addition to your picnic, be it at Byington or elsewhere.

Grapes for this wine are harvested from the lush vineyards of Wrights Station, which produces “amazingly aromatic Chardonnay with poetic stories of concentrated green apple, universal citrus and finest vanilla flowers.” In a nutshell, this Chardonnay is delicious nectar captured in a bottle.

Byington Vineyard & Winery, 21850 Bear Creek Road, Los Gatos. 408-3541111. byington.com. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check the website for tasting fee.

PARTY AT BARGETTO The Capitola Art & Wine Festival Kick-Off—called Toga Party/A Celebration of Wine—will be held on the patio at Bargetto Winery from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 19. Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 at the door and include a 2016 Capitola Art & Wine Festival glass, wine tasting from festival wineries, hors d’oeuvres, and live, silent and art auctions.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES HONORING THE MOTHER Friday is the new moon, 17 degrees Taurus.

Sunday is Mother’s Day—for everyone who has the task of “mothering.” Monday, Jupiter is stationary direct. Mother’s Day has a Gemini moon. Moon is mother and Gemini is communication. Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, retrograde, helps us to turn inward, to find the true value of our mothers, and to offer words of kindness, gratitude and nurturance to our mothers. All mothers, a task and job description, are learning how to be mothers. The task of mothering is difficult, confusing, filled with suffering and paradox. Mothering is an initiation, actually. Some (adult) children are estranged from their mothers. Such sadness! It’s good to remember the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, saint of Right Human Relations with everyone.

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where

there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”

In our mothers’ later years, they will look to us for guidance. Let us promise this to them with understanding, compassion and love.

During new moon times, reciting the Great Invocation together, we “strengthen the hands and arms and endeavors of the New Group of World Servers and women and men of Goodwill everywhere.”

Jupiter stationary direct. After 120 days of retrograde, Jupiter pauses, stands still for three days, before beginning to move forward again (13 degrees Virgo). “Stations” (stillness) of a planet are potent and significant. Jupiter is concerned with freedom, justice, culture, religion, adventures, education, expansions of all types and love/wisdom. Jupiter in Virgo (retrograde) has all of humanity tending to their health. As Jupiter moves forward, we are called to focus on our health in daily and practical ways. An opportunity.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Careful how you interact with others. Do not rely only on possessions and monetary realities (though tending them is important). Rely also on instinct and then intuition to direct and guide you into knowing the quality of a person, event, resource, choice and investment. You will be called to courage, a virtue of the heart and to a deep calmness that results when one knows all is well, because you made it so.

Are you harboring a secret, perhaps one or more? Is there money or resources you share with another?

Is everything clear and aboveboard in this area? It is time to arrange your finances so that debts are paid quickly. These times call you to be frugal, economically prudent, thrifty and careful, thus being able to conserve resources with confidence. Be prepared to teach others very soon in these ways. You will be efficient, informative and illuminating.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 4, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Be aware that you make impressions on many, leading them to follow your every thought, idea, action and move. Therefore, it’s important to act always with ethics and complete all plans, agreements, promises and agendas. You’re attempting to initiate new projects impacting life far into the future. You may be one of the few able to accomplish this. The future of humanity awaits. Carry on through any obstacles or hindrances.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

You may feel a sense of tiredness, exhaustion and needing rest. You may also be dreaming at night and while awake. It’s good to create an Esoteric Journal, a Dream Journal, a Retrograde Journal, recording your experiences each day. Over time the message of your life emerges. Maintain a light, fresh-foods diet, eliminate anything excess, drink pure water, love more, and look to the stars each day for direction.

It’s important to maintain close connections with like-minded group(s) and with the values you find important. See all interactions as opportunities and seek to understand what the hopes, wishes and needs of others are. Know that no matter how life is now, greater community will be available to you and your family later.

Careful while walking, lest you stumble. Careful.

Career matters assume new dimensions, co-workers need more care, you want to improve your health, create new work methods and tend to the necessities of your life. Big jobs! You realize this takes balance so you go slower than usual, foregoing adventure in order to create a long-term plan of practical goals. Your greatest success is acceptance of everything present in your life.

Then everything shifts.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You may be traveling to teach and/or to study far away this summer. You may be planning meetings, conferences, classrooms and/or curriculum. You will definitely be communicating with others on a large scale, either personally or through writing, speaking, teleconferencing, conference calling. Some or all of these will occur and all the while you gain knowledge, happiness and goodness. You have an adventure.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Relationships are primary now so listen very carefully to what others are communicating and have the intentions to respond with care, interest and emotional equilibrium.

Should you be uncooperative, imbalance will ensue and you will feel you have neglected a responsibility. Direct attention toward others now. Because only from you can they feel special care, love and safety.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You may be creating many and various lists consisting of tasks and errands—cars that need tending, accounts that need reckoning, travels that need considering, responsibilities that need completing, and problems that need easing. Spending time alone will help you complete incomplete projects. You may dream more at night as you travel about in the ethers. Record all dreams. Over time, dreams offer a clear message.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Setting out each day’s agenda and assessing priorities allows you to have more wisdom and brings a clarity and focus to things routine. Try not to criticize yourself or anyone. Compassion tells us everyone’s doing their very best at different stages of development. New opportunities appear at first as philosophical ideas.

Then they become goals. Rest more so you can imagine more. And then create more.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Home, family, property, community and parents become very important. Give them attention, attempting to improve relationships with family while also improving the beauty and organization of the environments you find yourself in. Do nothing that unsettles your safety or security, challenge no one, and calm tensions with exercise, prayer, vitamins, minerals and herbs. No storing them!

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s best to set this year aside to gain better health. A new sense of self identity results from this. With Jupiter in Virgo, you are working with the shadow side of your health (things hidden), as well as your Sun side (things apparent). You feel the need for clear direction and the resources that provide stabilization, constancy and the right sense of home. Sometimes there’s simply the need for silence. Inner and outer silence that let’s us hear, “Be still, and know that all is well.”

In a 10-inch, ovenproof, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the arugula and garlic.

Cook, stirring frequently, until the arugula has wilted, about 1 minute. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir to combine the ingredients. Cook, without stirring for 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Slide the frittata onto a platter. Using a serrated knife, cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room. Serve with mimosas!

Roederer Estate Brut The fruit flavors are apparent, fresh and lively in this medium-bodied, beautifully balanced brut. Light pear and pineapple aromas are followed by richer pear and citrus flavors, and subtle hints of baking spices, almonds and a nice earthy touch emerge.

If you need to special-order something they are happy to accommodate.” LARRY: “From the meat to the produce to the cheeses and more, you’re getting quality for a fair price. Shopper’s is an important community business.”

How so? TOM: “There’s history here. Shopper’s takes pride in their building, the mural, the clock… The entire neighborhood is alive because of Shopper’s.” LARRY: “They keep their own traditions alive while being the main attraction to midtown. This is the happening spot.”

LARRY: “I love the ambiance here and the small-town feel... like the wooden floors. The lighting shows off their wonderful produce.” TOM: “They have the best avocados in town! It’s amazing how much they carry, including fresh herbs, a variety of mushrooms, local and organic strawberries, tomatoes, apples, lettuces, spinach, and more. We love the idea of shopping local, be it the eggs, coffees, breads, ice cream, or chocolates.”

What would say about Shopper’s to a new community resident? TOM: “It’s where the locals meet. You haven’t really seen Santa Cruz until until you visit Shopper’s Corner. It’s probably the quintessential local business.”

LARRY: “I would let them know they have a great variety of olive oils, balsamic vinegars, pasta, and wines. Someone recommended a particular Spanish wine that I had never heard of. I was amazed that Shopper’s had three different varieties of it.” TOM: “Shopper’s also has a very good selection of local wines, and their sale selections are incredible — quality and pricing. There’s always a wine person available if you have questions. I like that kind of service.”

“You haven’t really seen Santa Cruz until until you visit Shopper’s Corner. It’s probably the quintessential local business.”
