OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Memorial Day kicks off festival season, and around here that means the American Music Festival, which is in its second year as the successor to the long-running Santa Cruz Blues Festival. Brad Kava’s cover stories this week take a look at each day of the festival from unexpected perspectives. For instance, Saturday headliner Buddy Guy, who has been making his mark on modern music since he played with Muddy Waters in the 1960s, and who Eric Clapton once called “the best guitar player alive,” is usually associated with the old guard of blues music—the Legends Division, if you will. But Kava writes that Guy is actually far more obsessed with what the future of blues music will be than with his own iconic status, and then argues that Guy himself is finding that

Your burlesque story is misleading. While I love sex and want nothing censored, I also believe those who choose this “entertainment” might consider that there are unforeseen repercussions that nobody wants. The line between prostitution and stripping is increasingly blurred, and the amount of physical contact between exotic dancers and customers has increased, along with verbal abuse, sexual harassment and physical assault of women in strip clubs. As former stripper Taylor Lee explained: “The sale of sexuality through stripping also leads to the customer’s impression that he has bought the right to touch, grab, slap, or otherwise violate, degrade, or devalue the woman stripping.”

Why pretend the sex industry is benign, because some performers claim to choose it?

Nothing exists in a vacuum. Females do not live in a secure bubble where we have burly bouncers, (as Cyn has at the Catalyst) to ensure our level of consent. The men thrown out of her burlesque show, after yelling “show me your boobs” will land right on Pacific Avenue both angry and aroused. Is women’s safety really

future in his most recent songs.

As for the festival’s second day, Kava explains how he misjudged the country-focused Sunday line-up last year, and points out how the very definition of country music is in flux, thanks to musicians like AMF headliner Josh Turner.

I also want to mention two awards for news reporting that GT picked up from the California Newspaper Publishers Association last month.

The paper won second place for environmental reporting in the CNPA’s largest-circulation division for breaking news about environmental mercury poisoning in Henry Houskeeper’s cover story “Tracing the Elements” and Maria Grusauskas’ news story “Foggy Notion.” GT was also a Blue Ribbon finalist in the category of education reporting for Anne-Marie Harrison’s article “Learning Inside Out,” about how Aptos educator Mark Rogers is working to transform the way dyslexic students learn.

of no concern? Every 107 seconds a woman is raped. Every day at least three women are murdered by their intimate partners.

As a community paper why not report on the complexity and harm that this industry brings to all who live around it? We need to work together to promote and model the fact that every human is worthy of dignity and respect, no matter their age, race, gender, class, or sexual orientation.

Many Santa Cruzans have strong feelings about Monsanto, the international agricultural biotechnology company, as do people interested in the food industry around the country. Seven West Coast cities, including San Jose, recently announced they would be suing the GMO developer for contaminating waterways, and Nebraska farmers filed suit over an alleged cancer link. Locals are organizing a March Against Monsanto starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 21 in San Lorenzo Park. Costumes are encouraged.

The Aptos History Museum celebrated 10 years on May 15. Karen and John Hibble began acquiring historic Aptos memorabilia in 1985, starting with a photograph of the old Aptos Train Station. Soon the Hibbles were getting plenty more donations, including the guest register from the Aptos Hotel, to go with incredible artifacts, important documents and amazing photographs. The museum, which is on Old Dominion Court near Best Western, is open Monday through Friday.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Re: “Back for Moore”: Martin Luther King famously said, “a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus. but a molder of consensus.” This describes exactly what Bernie Sanders has done by changing the political discussion in this country. Six months ago, virtually no one was talking about “income inequality,” the “rigged political system,” health care as a human right, or investing in our country’s future by providing free college education for our children. Even Republicans are now talking about these issues. Like Martin Luther King, Bernie Sanders does not accept the status quo—he knows we can do better.

“The essence of democracy is the ability to make intellectual choices in an election.

Unless you have access to information, those choices are not available to you.”

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“An oar moves a boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world.

An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer the wisdom of French author André Gide.

“Through loyalty to the past,” he wrote, “our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a well-honed delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier. An educational blessing will come your way if and only if you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding wave.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The short attention span is now enshrined as the default mode of awareness. “We skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that approach, however. “You can’t skim Shakespeare,” says Lough. I propose that we make that your epigram to live by in the coming weeks, Taurus: You can’t skim Shakespeare. According to my analysis, you’re going to be offered a rich array of Shakespeare-level information and insights. To get the most out of these blessings, you must penetrate and marinate and ruminate.

GEMINI May21–June20 “There are situations in life when it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich Schiller. The coming days may be one of those times for you. I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you might have to be impressed with your sophisticated intelligence. Be suspicious of egotism masquerading as cleverness. You are most likely to make good decisions if you insist on honoring your raw instincts. Simple solutions and uncomplicated actions will give you access to beautiful truths and truthful beauty, especially if you anchor yourself in innocent compassion.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

MAY 18-24, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

To prepare you for the coming weeks, I have gathered three quotes from the Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti.

These gems, along with my commentary, will serve you well if you use them as seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed #1: “He would like to start from scratch.

Where is scratch?” Here’s my addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready to start from scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed #2: “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. Seed #3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous.

“How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle. During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine.

So please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent emotions. Cram it with mysterious adventures and rambling treks in the frontier. Gorge it with intimate unpredictability and playful love and fierce devotions in behalf of your most crucial dreams. Warning: You will not be able to rely solely on the soul food that has sustained you in the past. Be eager to discover new forms of nourishment.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “Here’s how every love letter can be summarized,” says Russell Dillon in his poem “Past-Perfect-Impersonal,” “What is it you’re unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring this tease to your attention because it may serve as a helpful riddle in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you will have an enhanced ability to tinker with and refine and even revolutionize your best intimate relationships. I’m hoping Dillon’s provocation will unleash a series of inquiries that will inspire you as you imagine how you could supercharge togetherness and reinvent the ways you collaborate.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Fifth-century Christian theologian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite discretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the angels, nineteenth-century French poet Charles Baudelaire bragged, “From each thing I extracted its quintessence. You gave me your mud, and I made gold out of it.” From what I can tell, Capricorn, you have been engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Gilleland for the inspiration: tinyurl.com/mudgold.)

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

“There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble dancing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags, and the northern lights. Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide.

The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you.

“At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve confronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear.

And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here.

But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

“Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option—especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cultivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or maddening as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 More than halfway through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her meandering meditation on the poignant joys of spring’s soft awakening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.”

It seems that the people of Santa Cruz continue to pay for budget mismanagement.

Why are we taking out a credit card (bond) for something that has been paid for by the general budget for over 100 years?

I am for the libraries, but against another tax created by the city borrowing money. We could decrease funding of some other programs to increase funding for the library.

WELLNESS

PRINCIPLED DISCIPLINE Ami Chen Mills-Naim, a pioneer in bringing an inside-out paradigm to the field of mental health, teaches regular drop-in classes in Santa Cruz as well as private coaching sessions in a principles-based psychology. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

State of Mind A psycho-spiritual approach to mental health gains momentum in Santa Cruz BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS Chen Mills-Naim, a local author and wellness coach, the answer is a key component to our mental and spiritual well-being.

In the late ’90s, around the time that Prozac was making its grand debut on the market, Mills-Naim, who was working as a journalist at the time, began to investigate the Western biomedical explanation of depression as a disease caused by brain chemistry imbalances.

“When I did the research, I found that there’s this huge placebo effect with antidepressants,” says Mills-Naim. “And I thought, what is happening here?” Indeed, a 2015 study published in JAMA

Psychiatry found that the placebo effect accounts for 30-45 percent of response to antidepressants.

It’s hard to imagine this well-puttogether woman with the contagious laugh in a bad mood, much less depressed or hopeless, but she is no stranger to the darkness of her own mind. An estimated one in five Americans lives with mental illness each year, and for Mills-Naim, the darkest hour came in the fall of 1991, with an advanced chronic depression. “No longer was the universe a loving, benign universe.

Dark pits pocked it, living hells one could fall into for no good reason … If before I was embraced by the

nce, a friend lured me into talking about a particularly venomous fight my parents had when I was 10, just to prove a point: In less than a minute, I was distressed, and my pulse rate, (which she’d measured before and after this sojourn into childhood imbroglio), had quickened.

I’d heard before that thoughts affect us both physically and emotionally—and scientific research into this connection has turned up fascinating findings—but it was the first time I really got it.

To what extent do our thoughts influence our mood, decisions, and ultimately, our life path? For Ami

universe, now I merely existed in it for no reason. Life had lost its meaning,” writes Mills-Naim in a 1997 Metro article “Club Meds”—a thorough investigation of depression and the rise of SSRIs in America.

It’s been more than 20 years since Mills-Naim has returned to that suffering, and she credits a spiritual insight with her recovery.

It’s not that Naim-Mills is against antidepressant medication: “There are meds that are helping people. So when I have a client who wants to take meds, I say to them, take the meds, at least it’s nice to know that it’s there.

Because depression is catastrophic,” she says. But Naim-Mills has devoted herself to empowering sufferers with another tool.

Conceived by a welder named Sydney Banks who had a profound insight in the ’70s, and gathering momentum over the past few decades, the Three Principles acknowledge the essential role of thoughts in human existence and suffering, along with consciousness and mind; or an innate intelligence that is larger than us.

Mills-Naim’s father is the late Dr. Roger Mills, a community psychologist who became friends with Banks in the ’70s and pioneered the application of Three Principles-based community projects—under the then-title of “Health Realization”—in challenging settings, including police departments, prisons, mental health clinics, drug rehabilitation programs, schools and low-income housing developments in Miami, with profound results. Mills-Naim was right there beside him, founding the Center for Sustainable Change with her father in 2004, which she ran for 10 years, and which brought the psychology to schools and communities across the U.S. For Mills-Naim, it was the very absence of the spiritual in modern treatment of depression—SSRI’s and psychotherapy that often fixates on the past—that prompted her efforts to share principles-based tools to change our brain chemistry. “It may take time, but certainly that must be a possibility,” she says. “I myself had overcome depression, and now I see that many, many people have.” For more information, visit amichen.com.

FEET DON’T FAIL ME NOW Runners race the Surfer’s Path Marathon/Capitola Half Marathon in 2014. The races return Saturday, May 21.

The Out-Striders

Sure, it’s a great place to run a race. But how is Santa Cruz producing so many top runners? BY STEVE PALOPOLI

I

generally run one half-marathon a year, and like a lot of casual runners, I tend to pick my races based on the locale. That’s not to say I pick the most challenging courses—in fact, quite the opposite.

When I see one of those race websites whose organizers try to draw in adrenaline junkies with promises that their course is the most challenging thing I will ever face, is comprised entirely of active volcanoes, is somehow 100 percent

uphill or is otherwise designed to basically kill all participants, I smash the buttons on my keyboard furiously until it goes away.

What it actually means is that if I’m going to run 13.1 miles—or even maybe 26.2 someday, God forbid—I want to take in some majestic scenery while I do it. The rolling hills of Sonoma wine country, the Avenue of the Giants, something like that.

But in 2012, I ran the Capitola Half Marathon, which is held in

conjunction with the Surfer’s Path Marathon, and will celebrate its 5th anniversary when the two races once again bring runners from all over to Santa Cruz this weekend.

It turned out that for all my seeking of exotic spots, there is nothing like running a race in the place I’ve lived and worked for most of my adult life.

Local agencies have managed Santa Cruz County’s groundwater basins for decades, but now with the stakes higher than ever, new coalitions are forming.

The Santa Cruz Mid-County groundwater basin, the sole water source for more than 42,000 residents between Soquel and La Selva Beach, is in dire straits. Since the 1980s, customers have drawn from wells faster than the rains can replenish them.

Now that its water levels are below sea level, seawater has started to seep inland, contaminating the wells.

In January, the Mid-County basin, which also supplies 5 percent of the city of Santa Cruz’s water, was listed as “critically overdrafted” by the state’s Department of Water Resources.

The nearby Pajaro Valley basin also received that listing. It’s the worst classification level, given to just 21 basins in California.

A new state law, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, took effect last year, requiring the formation of new local agencies and plans to manage troubled basins. Deadlines must be met— agencies must be formed by June 2017 and plans by 2022—or else the state will intervene. Critically overdrafted basins such as Mid-County’s are on a shorter timeline— they must have a plan by 2020.

Each plan must create a strategy for monitoring and fixing its local overdraft issues. Each region has its own complexities, ranging from seawater intrusion along the Central Coast, to contaminated water or sinkholes.

This new state model of local accountability makes sense, says Ron Duncan, general manager of the Soquel Creek Water District.

“Water is a very regional thing. There’s regional issues and regional solutions, so it doesn’t work for the state to mandate an x, y or z solution because it may not make sense,” Duncan says.

For the first time in California, responsible management of groundwater by local agencies is being mandated, not just encouraged. Within 20 years of adopting a plan, every agency must achieve groundwater sustainability, according to law. >16

turned around in Capitola Village and then found its way back to the beach just beyond its starting point—I passed three different places where I’ve lived over the years. I made my way along streets usually so heavy with traffic I’d never even imagined running down the middle of them, suddenly surrounded by nothing but chilly coastal air and the quiet footfalls of other runners. It’s still my favorite half I ever did, and it solidified Santa Cruz as my favorite place to run a race.

I’m certainly not the only one who feels that way about running in Santa Cruz. In fact, this area has a strong, tight-knit running community that a lot of locals don’t know about, and one of the people at the center of it is Greg Brock. At 68, Brock doesn’t run a whole lot anymore—he claims his legs expired at 100,000 miles a few years ago—but his passion for the local running landscape is as strong as ever—in fact, it kind of haunts him.

“I used to do a lot of running up and down West Cliff,” says Brock. “I love that stretch. Once in a while I’ll head over and drive it really slow.

It’s like visiting an old friend.”

He doesn’t have a lot of time to ruminate, though, since Brock is busy training the next generation of local runners—with a remarkable amount of success. Brock coached at Santa Cruz High School from 19741981, then at Cabrillo College for 16 years, then started coaching at Santa Cruz High again in 2006. Last year, Santa Cruz High’s Varsity Girls Cross Country team took second place in Division IV competition at the state championships. Senior Cate Ratliff finished first, running the 3.1 mile course in 17 minutes, 3.7 seconds, and another Santa Cruz High Cardinal, Mari Friedman, came in fourth.

Ratliff’s time was not only the fastest in division history, but also faster than any other Varsity Girls runner across all five of the divisions in competition.

“That was a huge achievement,” says Brock.

And Santa Cruz High isn’t alone.

Brock says the stellar coaching at other area high schools like San Lorenzo Valley High, Aptos High and Watsonville’s St. Francis High have turned the Santa Cruz area into

a hotspot of what he calls “power programs” in California.

“Over the years we have become a very strong league,” he says.

Or as Kathleen Ferraro puts it: “We breed good runners here. In high schools, we have some of the most impressive runners in the state.”

Ferraro is probably best known locally for organizing the BANFF Mountain Film Festival World Tour and Radical Reels events. But she also has a formidable history with the running community in Santa Cruz County, bringing the Running Club back to UCSC in 1995, after which it evolved into an NCAA team; starting and coaching the DeLaveaga Running Club in 2001; and coaching middleschool cross-country and track. She points out that Ratliff comes from a family that’s known in this area for producing excellent runners.

“You go, ‘Damn, who’s that kid?

Oh, it’s a Ratliff. Okay,’” says Ferraro.

Brock has been keeping tabs on NCAA competition over the last week, and is stunned at how many local runners—including athletes who ran in his program—have made the cut.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had as many as we do right now,” he says.

“There’s really a lot of our girls competing at the college level, and some boys, as well.”

KEEPING TRACK Brock and Ferraro have both been involved for two decades with what is pretty much the hub of running culture locally, the Santa Cruz Track Club.

“The Santa Cruz Track Club is the most influential group in running in this community,” says Ferraro. “It’s the linchpin.”

Her connection to the group is extremely personal, as it was responsible for her even taking up running in the first place.

“My dad made us run when we were in middle school, and I hated it,” she says. “When my son was born, that’s when I became a runner. I went from pushing him in a baby jogger to running the Big Sur Marathon when he was two years old. And that was because of the Santa Cruz Track Club.

They were the people who made me realize I could do this.”

Diane Delucchi has been vicepresident of the Track Club for

what she estimates is about “50 million years.” She’s tried to provide continuity for each new board member—“I feel like I’m the historian,” she says. For her, and many other members, the Track Club is a lot more than its name implies.

“A lot of people are intimidated because it’s called the Track Club,” she admits. “But we do more than track. With our running groups, we have all ages. It goes from the beginner to the experienced runner.”

Even more importantly, “it’s not just a running club. It’s like a family,” she says. “You get all this support from everybody out there.”

The club leads runs not just at the places that all local runners know, like Wilder Ranch or Big Basin or the Pogonip or Nisene Marks, but also at, say, Waddell Creek, or Land of Medicine Buddha retreat center.

“You can’t beat the terrain here,” says Delucchi.

She remembers originally setting her goal as a 10K, running that, and never looking back.

“Because there was always someone else out there to train with. You’re evolving with other runners,” she says.

“All of a sudden, you’re running an Ironman. The neatest thing is that no matter what you decide to run, you’re able to find someone.”

And when she says all ages, she’s not kidding. Track Club member and former Santa Cruz mayor Katherine Beiers is now 82 and routinely finishes in the top two places in her division at the Boston Marathon, which was held last month. For the past two years, Beiers has been the oldest finisher in the race.

But at the other end of the spectrum, the pride of the Santa Cruz Track Club may be their Youth Club, which boasts more than 150 young runners. Along with his role as the running coach at Santa Cruz High, Brock is also the Track Club’s running coach, and he’s seen a definite connection between the two.

“We’ve had girls who come out to run at Santa Cruz High, and they’re wearing the t-shirts they got at the Youth Club,” he says.

Certainly great coaching in local schools is a central reason why Santa Cruz has produced so many great runners—from world-class triathlete Terri Schneider, who >18

A public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, at Simpkins Family Swim Center in Live Oak to designate a new local group, called the Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Agency, to manage the mid-county basin. Public comment will be heard and incorporated, before the intent is filed with the state, says Bruce Jaffe, the agency’s head and also a longtime member of Soquel Creek Water District’s board.

The Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Agency has 10 other members, including Tom LaHue, also a Soquel Creek Water District board member, two Santa Cruz city councilmembers, two Santa Cruz County supervisors, two Central Water District board members and two private well owners, who also rely on the basin for their water supply.

Alliances between the city of Santa Cruz, the county and other users are key, says Jaffe, who for the past decade was part of the Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Agency’s predecessor, the Soquel Aptos Groundwater Management Committee, formerly called the Basin Implementation Group.

“When you have the county, the city and two groundwater agencies and private pumpers, you don’t always see eye-toeye on every issue, but all the members have talked things out and we’ve come to a resolution on every issue we’ve encountered so far,” Jaffe says.

The agency will soon hire a staff made up of local water administrators like Duncan to support its executive staff members.

Duncan was also involved with the agency’s predecessor, and says the formation of this new version feels more urgent. State water officials, he believes, are more serious now.

“We’ve neglected the groundwater situation statewide for so long, and now they really want [local] agencies, committees to be serious,” he says.

The state has already approved the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency, which serves agricultural customers and Watsonville-area residents, as the local agency managing the Pajaro Valley basin.

In Santa Cruz County, previous groundwater agencies have already made headway with solving the problem of overdraft. Since the 1990s, more than 80

“sentry wells” have been laid along the coast to monitor for seawater intrusion.

Water districts also moved well drilling inland, to prevent contamination.

When the state groundwater law was passed in 2014, local organizers began to hold public meetings to discuss how the new agency would be formed. Around 20 meetings have been held so far, and several attracted more than 60 attendees. Every private well owner in the region was invited, and many of the large commercial customers came, such as Cabrillo College and Seascape Golf Club.

Updates are also posted on the groundwater agency’s website, midcountygroundwater.org.

Duncan says agency members are focusing all their energy on the formation process, and talk of a plan to solve the overdraft problem has not begun. If the agency is formed correctly, then solutions will unfold naturally, he says.

“We’ve been developing those relationships and trust, and that’s huge because we’ve got to balance the basin,” he says. “At the end of the day, it’s about who’s doing what, and how much you’ve got to contribute to balance the basin.”

The agency has a $1.3 million budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year, $140,000 of that from grants and the rest contributed by the individual agencies. Soquel Creek Water District, the basin’s largest user, contributed around $800,000 from its general fund and the Central Water District, city of Santa Cruz and county of Santa Cruz each contributed $115,250.

Steven Springhorn, a California Department of Water Resources geologist helping with implementation of state groundwater law, says that the Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Agency is a good example of how local groups can work together. Elsewhere, overlapping boundaries between jurisdictions complicates the formation of groundwater sustainability agencies [GSAs], he says, but that’s not the case in Santa Cruz County.

“Statewide, there still remains a lot of coordination [to be done],” Springhorn says. “It’s kind of taking two different approaches—the Santa Cruz approach, where they’re choosing to meet, coordinate and resolve some of the details first, and then form their GSA and get it posted online. Others came at it from a more individual, single-agency perspective.”

graduated from Santa Cruz High in the 1970s and has completed more than 20 Ironman races, through Victor Plata, who graduated Santa Cruz High in the ’90s and went on to be a two-time Olympic triathlete, to today. As schools continue to cut after-school programs, however, the opportunities the Track Club provides are clearly more important than ever.

But the most interesting thing is that neither the schools nor the Youth Club seems to be fishing for elite athletes; instead, the supportive local culture around running just seems to raise up youth athletes. In particular, Brock doesn’t like the statistics nationwide on the number of teens who drop out of sports in high school because those sports become too competitive, too expensive, or generally so elitist that it makes kids feel like they shouldn’t get involved.

“What we try to do is bring them back into it just for the fitness and movement value. They don’t have to be great athletes,” he says. “Then every once in a while, you’ll see a jewel come out of it.”

Tom Bradley, creator and owner of this week’s Surfer’s Path Marathon/ Capitola Half Marathon, says he is struck by how interconnected the running community is here, whether it’s the Track Club, stores like Fleet Feet and Running Revolution, or the running crowd buzzing at Aptos Coffee Roasting Company.

“Everything here is communitybased,” he says. “You’re always running into people you know.”

In addition to this fifth running of the marathon and half-marathon on Saturday, May 21, Bradley has twice held a Surfer’s Path 10K/5K, which will return Feb. 6 of next year. And this fall, on Oct. 23, he’ll debut the Surfer’s Path Hang Ten/Hang Five, 10 and 5 mile races, respectively.

Putting on this weekend’s races means managing around 300 people on race day, including 100 just to monitor the course.

“What we do, a lot of it is behind the scenes. I’m not sure people realize what goes into it, but that’s the same with anything,” he says. “We’re all pretty stoked that it comes off.”

BLUES IN TIME

What’s the future of blues music? Buddy Guy just might have the answer

BY BRAD KAVA

MAY 18-24, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

B

uddy Guy is worried about the future of the blues—and with good reason.

So many of the pioneers of the American-born-and-bred music have died—generations of legends who brought the music from the cotton fields of the South to Chicago’s electric avenues have stepped off the stage for good, and Guy wonders who will mentor the next generation.

That’s one of the reasons he’s on a national tour with Jeff Beck, his 80th spin around the globe. On Memorial Day weekend, he makes a major solo stop at Santa Cruz’s second American Music Festival, where Guy is the headliner of Saturday’s blues day.

The line-up for that day offers a look at the past and the future of the blues. Sunday does the same for country and roots music, showing off artists who have their feet planted in the soil sown by Hank Williams, Waylon, Willie, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash, but are taking things into a new century.

“You go to sleep and you wake up and I looked around and I’m saying, ‘My God, Buddy,’ after B.B. passed last year and we lost a couple of great ones, now, British and American musicians,” Guy says in Ernie Ball’s “Pursuit of Tone” interview series. “I look around and I say, ‘Oh shit, you’ve

got to keep it alive as long as you can. Hopefully I can introduce some other young persons who can carry along a little more than what we’ve been doing.’”

He wants people to see how it was done and how it should be done, and he wants to mentor new musicians, as he inspired many in the past who became legends themselves, including Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Billy Gibbons.

“It’s harder to carry on now, because the young persons are looking for a role model. They don’t say they want to be like Buddy Guy. They say, ‘Who is that?’ And I can’t blame them for that.

My kids didn’t know who I was until they got 21 to come in a club.”

And he’s not the only one who has been thinking about these things.

“We talked about this with every one of these guys who are no longer with us. We used to joke and say, ‘If I go before you, don’t you let the blues die,’” says Guy. Last year, Guy recorded his 28th album, one that does just what those late legends hoped he’d do. Born to Play Guitar isn’t some nostalgic look back propped up by guest stars, as some performers have been known to do in their later years. It’s got guest appearances by Billy Gibbons, Joss Stone and Kim Wilson, but they

are only seasoning for the main course.

It is an absolutely contemporary, crisply written album with themes that include politics and the economy, the loss of blues stars B.B. King and Muddy Waters, and some of the usual blues fare; lost love, cheating women and men, smoky nights, and cheap whiskey.

“And now they’re selling water, I drank water from a creek/ Someday they are gonna sell us the very air that we breathe,” he sings on “Crazy World,” with an echo and blistering guitar that would make Jimi proud. “It’s a crazy world/Oh it’s a crazy world/You can lay your money down and win every bet/But the tax man’s gonna take half of what you get/Politicians spend millions trying to get your vote/But everybody knows, they’ve already bought your soul/People killing each other in the name of the lord/No one wants to stop a moneymaking war.”

The disc, which won a Grammy in February and a Blues Music Award earlier this month for Best Blues Album, answers the question of how you keep the blues alive: you write about what matters to people now.

TIN PICKING That’s something Guy has been doing since he started recording in the 1950s. Born George “Buddy” Guy in Lettsworth, Louisiana, July 30, 1936 he grew up playing a homemade two-string instrument made of wire and tin cans.

In the 1950s he was working days as a custodian at Louisiana State University, and playing at nights as a sideman for John “Big Poppa” Tilley, where he overcame stage fright and began to take on the larger-than-life persona that breaks through the fourth wall in his shows today—which almost always feature a trip through the audience while he solos and maybe a stop at the bar or a climb on top of it.

That’s a trick that he started in 1958 in Chicago, where he made a name for himself in the 508 Club, where his trips around the room were aided by a 100-foot-long guitar cable, replaced today by a wireless system.

He had a small hit in 1960 with the

song “First Time I Met the Blues,” but spent most of the decade touring clubs and backing up bigger artists such as Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Koko Taylor, and Little Walter.

His reputation and influence spread, as British rockers from John Mayall to the Rolling Stones paid homage to Chicago blues. In 1970, he was on the magical drug- and alcohol-filled train tour of Canada documented in the movie Festival Express, featuring the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, the Band, Delaney Bonnie & Friends, and the Flying Burrito Brothers.

If you really want to treat yourself to some living history, check out some of the online footage of Guy’s performances and see the scrawny, fired-up guitarist laying down jams that still hold up 46 years later.

He spent two decades touring and recording with harmonica player Junior Wells, forming a blues super group. Finally, in 1989, a tour with Eric Clapton led to a record deal with the Silvertone label and a breakout hit album, Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues. It had guest performances

by Clapton, Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler, but the standouts were Guy’s own penned songs, including the title track, “Too Broke to Spend the Night” and “Remembering Stevie,” for Stevie Ray Vaughan.

AT THE BAR WITH BUDDY Around the same time, he opened a club in Chicago called Legends.

I was lucky enough to spend the better part of a week there with Guy, waiting for a promised surprise set by the Rolling Stones. They never showed, but I got to see the real Guy, who was as at home tending to the details of his club as he is being a superstar on stage. We sat at the bar together every evening, before the crowds came in, looking up expectantly every time the door opened. The Stones were starting their 1997 Bridges to Babylon tour in the city and played another club, the Double Door, but had sent word they may also play Guy’s. He shrugged it off when they didn’t show, but he said he was hoping they would.

have heard only a few times in my life. If it were barbecue, it would be authentic Chicago smoky meat with thick drippings, making almost everything else taste like Arby’s.

I played his new album for my girlfriend, who says she hates the blues, and she was smiling and bouncing her head. “This sounds like a new album,” she said. “Not blues.”

And there’s a sign that Buddy Guy is doing what he was meant to be doing: spreading the gospel of Muddy, B.B., Walter, Junior, and the rest.

He sums it up in the last line of Born to Play Guitar, on the song, “Come Back Muddy”: “I’m keeping your promise that I will keep on playing.

I miss you, Muddy.”

Guy’s career—and the blues—were on the upswing in the ’90s. He put out a series of rootsy blues discs, including 1993’s Feels Like Rain and 2001’s return to his southern roots, Sweet Tea. Now he’s one of the last men standing, but drawing crowds not because of his longevity, but because he still brings it. He headlined what was then called the Santa Cruz Blues Festival in 2010, and San Jose’s Fountain Blues Festival in 2007, and the thing that got me as a listener was the tone.

Not just Guy, but his whole band took me to another place, Heaven’s Roadhouse, where blues really mattered—and was the only thing that did. The kind of sound dripping from the bass, drums and guitar, I

Day of Reckoning We reckon Sunday’s country-leaning line-up at the American Music Festival will surprise you BY BRAD KAVA

W

hen I think about how I misjudged last year’s Santa Cruz American Music Festival, formerly the Blues Festival, I have to laugh.

I was one of the people who was dreading Sunday’s show, which skewed country rather than blues.

I figured I’d give it a try and leave early if I hated it.

But it turned out that Sunday featured my two highlights of the weekend: Kellie Pickler and Ryan Bingham. I wrote off Pickler, an American Idol alum, figuring she would be too commercial for me to stand. To

my shock, she was one hell of a soulful and rocking singer, who brought to mind Janis Joplin. Mind blown.

Bingham was a singer/songwriter who reminded me of John Hiatt, Ryan Adams or the Band. Despite the fact that he was on the “country day,” he could have played the blues day and fit right in.

That’s what festival booker Phil Lewis is striving for. Most people, he says, have broad tastes that include all sorts of influences. So does the current crop of country musicians, some of whom fall into subgenres like “bro country”—which includes

it’s all modern country—but not the slick kind.

Headliner Josh Turner has one of those deep baritone voices that sounds like it should never be able to make commercial hits—but it does. He’s got a voice that resembles another unlikely baritone, Johnny Cash, and is joined on his songs by the likes of Ralph Stanley and Dolly Parton. It’s new country with old cred.

“When I grew up as a cowboy, I listened to Waylon and Willie and Merle Haggard,” says Lewis. “But then, after Garth Brooks turned things toward pop, I dropped out.”

But Lewis has come back, because the new country goes back to authentic roots. And, he says, it appeals to fans in their 20s and 30s.

“To me, when I listen to music, there’s a certain sound that just clicks.

It’s hard to put your finger on it, but you can hear when music is genuine and when it’s not,” says Lewis. “That’s how we choose the music for the festival. It has to ring true.”

The festival changed from strictly blues last year and Lewis sees the future as a three-year plan, figuring the country day will be as popular as the blues day in years to come. Last year, it wasn’t, and he heard a lot of complaints from Santa Cruzans who had attended the Blues Festival over its 21-year run.

“We’re trying to appeal to a wider audience,” says Lewis, who was one of the Blues Festival’s founders.

“We’re doing it in a segmented way.

We want to pay homage to the blues heritage with a straight blues day, like we’ve done for 23 years. But we want to stretch out.”

He’s counting on word of mouth to boost the country day and figures it might take three years to catch on the way the blues festival did.

Last year they padded the day with Los Lonely Boys, an act that would appeal more to blues fans. This year,

Buddy Guy: Current King of the blues.

Need we say more?

Trombone Shorty: The New Orleans’ trombonist’s fourth appearance at the festival. He started as an unknown opener and is now an international celebrity.

Robert Randolph: Gospel meets pedal steel. Music is a religion and Randolph’s sinuous slides lift you skyward.

Indigenous: These Native American blues players sound like they are from the tribe of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Carolyn Wonderland: This Texan’s third time at the festival. She plays like Bonnie Raitt, sings like Janis and is a downhome star.

Josh Turner: The fact that this Godinspired scrapple-voiced baritone from South Carolina is a star brings hope to the modern country scene. He sounds too pure to be commercial, but he’s selling without selling out.

David Nail: This Missourian’s vocals have that twang, but the music behind them borders on indie rock with some Bob Seger or Springsteen thrown in.

Granger Smith with Earl Dibbles, Jr: This Texan channels indie rock hooks for really catchy tunes.

Dibbles adds some heavier metal, sort of like Kid Rock meets AC/DC. Canaan Smith: Though he’s probably best-known for appearing on The Amazing Race, his second single “Love You Like That” is a better sampling of this Nashville singersongwriter’s talent.

Brodie Stewart: Country meets Aerosmith. This dude rocks. He’s from the Bay Area and Sacramento (say what?) but spent summers in Red Bluff. Had to get that country somewhere. Don’t miss him.

Leaving Austin: They aren’t Texans— Austin Machado and his outfit hail from Visalia. They look like a punk rock band, but play new country.

Jazzercisers in rockin’ dance routines.

Up until this year, when she cut back to only five days and 11 classes a week, Hartsell has taught 17 classes a week.

“You have no idea what a difference it made, just to have a real two-day weekend,” Hartsell says with a grin.

I can definitely imagine it. Having been put through my paces regularly

by Hartsell for several decades, I can also testify to her uncanny ability to get the best out of us using Jazzercise’s choreographed combination of aerobics and dance, while making it

extremely fun in the process.

Hartsell—who face to face over coffee looks ridiculously young for someone with her long professional resumé—admits that she enjoys spending more and more time visiting her sister and family in Hawaii, where

“I’m embracing my team. I let the younger people teach the butt-kicker programs these days.” - ABBI HARTSELL rolling her eyes. “Part of me says no, it’s not going to happen to me. But I can feel that I have less energy,” she admits. As a cushion, she’s groomed associate instructors. “I’m embracing my team. I let the younger people teach the butt-kicker programs these days,” she chuckles. “Another change I’ve made is a modified program I teach called Jazzercise Light, geared toward seniors and newcomers.” Even the founder, Judy Missett is now phasing herself into less involvement, says Hartsell.

But Missett, who has ceded oversight to her daughter, continues to keep the brand current, Hartsell contends: “It’s not your mom’s Jazzercise program.”

“In my 30 years, I have learned over 4,500 routines,” she says. How does she keep fresh with it, year after year? “I go to the area meetings. And there’s an instructor’s conference in Las Vegas. That’s a shot in the arm, being in a room filled with all these passionate women, all involved in a program that empowers women,” she says. As an owner of her Jazzercise territory, Hartsell admits the work never stops. “There’s always something you can be doing to promote the business.” She admits she often fantasizes about a cut-anddried “nine-to-five job where I can just go home at the end of the day and forget about work.”

But “the crowd in front of me inspires me. I just love seeing them connect with the routines and enjoy their own success. It reinforces how wonderful Jazzercise is,” she says.

The choreography and the music get her up and going each day. “Yes, I guess I’m tough. I teach that 6 a.m. class,” she groans and laughs. “And I still feel sorry for myself.” But no matter how tired or burned out, “you’re still the brand,” she says.

she says she will eventually retire. A Santa Cruz native, Hartsell and her mom live near each other. “She may have to think about moving to Hawaii, too,” Hartsell jokes.

Yes, she’s been at it for 30 years, a milestone that was acknowledged at this year’s annual Jazzercise convention in Las Vegas. “It began with Kay Mitchell—she brought Jazzercise [to Santa Cruz County],” Hartsell recalls. “I wasn’t into sports growing up, didn’t do any exercise activities,” she says. “We were horse girls in my family. Until I discovered boys.”

The first Jazzercise class she ever attended was in Live Oak. “I went to a class and I immediately fell in love with it. I was captivated,” she says.

What does Hartsell love about Jazzercise? “It makes people feel successful,” she answers instantly.

“It’s challenging yet doable.” Hartsell managed Josef’s Deli at the Rancho del Mar shopping center, then ran weddings and events at the Pogonip Club while working her way up the franchise ladder. “Soon I became a manager at Jazzercise,” Hartsell says.

“I knew I wanted to teach.” Then came the move to being an owner. Hartsell explains that Jazzercise, a national organization started 45 years ago by JudI Sheppard Missett with regional franchises, has territories. “We start out by renting facilities. I am on this border where I make money because my costs are low. I would love to own a center, my own free-standing facility like a lot of people have in less expensive areas of the country. But the roller rink is security for me,” she says. Hartsell also owns the Aptos territory. “I teach a few days a week at the Aptos Grange, which has been newly remodeled,” she says. “That’s a wonderful thing.”

“People ask me ‘What are you going to do when your body gives out?’ And I’ve definitely felt a shift, physically, in the past two years,” she says,

THE BAND WHO WOULD BE KING King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard perform at Moe’s Alley on Tuesday, May 24.

Lizard Vision MAY 18-24, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard offers infinite loops, far-out concepts, and truly psychedelic rock BY AARON CARNES

I

magine an album that never ends. Whether this sounds like a nightmare or a really cool idea may depend on how insane a person’s musical tastes are. And chances are, anyone that digs the band name King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is on board with the infinite-loop-record concept on principle alone.

Fortunately for whacked-out psych music fans, Australian sevenpiece King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard did in fact release a neverending album, appropriately titled Nonagon Infinity. All the songs are connected seamlessly, and the last track goes right back into the first

track again with no break. The fact that it’s their hardest and heaviest record only adds to the intensity of the record. It never breathes.

“We wanted to drop into the deep end with this one,” says frontman Stu Mackenzie. “The idea was to create one big song. We even toyed with the idea of just calling it one song, but I’m OK if people want to digest the songs individually as well.”

The Australian psychedelic band has explored a lot of territory on their previous seven albums. There’s elements of flowery summer-of-love psychedelic tunes, bits of jazz, progrock, psych-pop, and spaced out jams.

On Nonagon Infinity, the group mixes

high-octane psych-garage rock with elements of ’70s metal and glam-rock.

Probably a more important element than the songs simply being linked is that they are all carefully sonically referential. There are several repeating phrases—a minor refrain in one song might return in another song as a primary riff. It’s actually a very complex interweaving record that was so challenging to make that the group worked on it for years, even taking breaks to focus their attention on other material. They released two albums while slowly chipping away at Nonagon Infinity.

“I didn’t want to put the record together in editing or post or

anything. I wanted to feel like we could play it from start to finish in one go if we wanted to,” Mackenzie says. “Talking about making this record makes me slightly anxious. It was definitely difficult, bordering on painful. It wasn’t fun, but it was our most ambitious.”

There are a whole bunch of bands that wave the psychedelic label, but it’s extremists like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard that truly fit the label. Not only do they bring weird concepts to their records, they also put together strange accompanying visuals. (Check out their oddball videos.) It’s not just they’re influenced by the late ’60s psychedelic music scene, they actually embody the experimental spirit of the time period.

“I don’t try to pretend like we’re breaking any new ground or anything.

What we’re doing is challenging ourselves with the music. The spirit is to explore, even if we just experiment with something that we’ve never done before,” Mackenzie says.

At this point in King Gizzard’s career, they tend to work on albums from a concept-based approach first, and see where that takes them. For Nonagon Infinity, the initial spark was to create their heaviest record to date, which led to linking all the songs, and then the next logical step was to link the last to the first.

The fact that this record took them a couple years is particularly fascinating because King Gizzard has released eight records in only six short years. As they’ve evolved as a band, the urge to create concept records has only increased.

One could spend weeks listening to the intricate self-referential musical themes going in and out of the nine songs on Nonagon Infinity, but the lyrics are connected, too. Each song has its own narrative, and they are connected by all taking place in the same surreal sci-fi world.

“It’s supposed to be some sort of dark sci-fi fantasy, kind of horror thing,” Mackenzie says. “It’s definitely supposed to be throwing you into a world. There’s some autobiographical moments in there too, but it’s not me, it’s a monster or cyborg version.”

STARHAWK ‘CITY OF REFUGE’

32

Speculative fiction holds a weighty post in literature because it allows people to envision a detailed world where anything is possible—like a non-hierarchical, socially just, ecologically balanced and diverse world. That’s what author Starhawk brings to the discussion on Thursday, May 19, as novelist of the bestselling The Fifth Sacred Thing and her new sequel, City of Refuge. She’ll be speaking on how to shift cynicism and despair with modern reality into empowerment and engagement with the title of her talk “What Would It Look Like If We Won?

FRIDAY 5/20 - SATURDAY 6/4 ‘BILLY ELLIOT’ THE MUSICAL If the 2000 film didn’t make you fall totally in love with the young Jamie Bell, then the musical will certainly make you fall in love with the Billy Elliot story. It’s the young boy who fights tooth and nail against the macho culture of a 1984 English mining town to escape the boxing gloves in favor of ballet shoes. On Friday, May 20, the local nonprofit theater group All About Theatre opens the 10-time Tony-winning story to the Rio Theatre for a three-weekend run. All About Theatre provides opportunities to people of all ages and all socioeconomic backgrounds in Santa Cruz County, and Billy Elliot will be performed by a large cast of children to bring the choreography to local life.

LOCAL BAND OLDE BLUE

“After our first gig wearing ties, it was amazing how differently we were treated,” recalls Olde Blue frontman Yeshe Jackson. “People just parted ways when we were walking through, like, ‘Oh, you must be official.’ The bouncers waved us right through, the bartender said, ‘Oh, you guys are the band, you need some drinks?’ At the end of the night the owner got us our check right away … everything just went so smoothly.”

MAY 18-24, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The three members of the Santa Cruz band now adhere to a formal dress code, but their commitment to professionalism extends beyond the uniform. “We’ve really learned how to work with club owners,” says drummer Marcus Thayer.

“It’s not just about us, it’s a partnership; when we were teenagers it was like, ‘This is it! This is our show!’ But if we’re not playing in concert halls, we’re going to work with the venue—get people drinking and having a good time.”

42

Inspired by the Blues Brothers, their style and attitude match their classic sound.

Influences include Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, and any given set features several covers, but always with a twist. “We tend to play all the old blues covers with a little more energy. The slapping stand-up bass gives our songs a more upbeat feeling, an almost rockabilly vibe,” says Jackson.

Their own sets range from lively to laid-back, making Olde Blue a natural fit for restaurants and brew houses—or, as Jackson puts it, “Anywhere people are drinking.” Bassist Morgan Monticue agrees: “Exactly. There’s nothing too complex about the music we’re playing …

It’s a good drinking, good foot-stomping time.” KATIE SMALL INFO: Olde Blue plays every Tuesday night at Hoffman’s Bistro downtown.

1102 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.

LITTLE WINGS

WEDNESDAY 5/18 INDIE-FOLK

LITTLE WINGS Kyle Field, the only consistent member of Little Wings, has had a long, prolific career, but somehow through it all, he’s remained a mystery. His music reflects on simple everyday occurrences like watching a bumblebee fly away, or on the heavier stuff, like meditations on death. With his bushy beard, aloof demeanor, and combination of too-quiet acoustic numbers with blown-out, sloppy folk, he might seem like a Portlandia version of an indie-folk rocker, but he practically invented the modern indie-folk troubadour genre in the late ’90s.

HIP HOP

YOUNG THUG How many artists can release a song dedicated to the victims of the April flooding in Texas and have the hook be, “If Texas love was a drug”? Just one: Young Thug. At 23, YT has already emblazed the rap world with a slew of hits and mixtapes. Last year he dropped his debut full-length album Hy!£UN35 (read: “hi-tunes”) and collaborated with Kanye West for Yeezy’s 2016 release, The Life of Pablo. Five months into the new year and Young Thug has already released two mixtapes, February’s I’m Up, and March’s highly anticipated Slime Season 3. He’ll be joined onstage by the Bay Area’s one and only DJ Nima Fadavi. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst Club, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $39.50/adv, $45/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 5/20 ROCK

U.S. ELEVATOR Husband and wife Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion got a lot of acclaim for their 2013 folk-rock, Jeff Tweedy-produced record Wassaic. It’s a heartfelt, harmony-rich Americana album. However, Irion wants to show off his rock side with a fairly recent group he’s touring with called U.S. Elevator. Heavily influenced by the Beatles, Neil Young and ’70s power-pop, it’s nothing that will explode any eardrums. Irion is the primary songwriter in this project, and the tunes rock, but they are incredibly catchy at the same time. His backing band harmonizes with him, too. It’s not quite as soul-wrenching as when he sings with his wife, but it’s still quite beautiful. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

ROCK

LEON RUSSELL Long before it was cool to sport an epic wizard beard, Leon Russell was rocking the piano hardcore like a full-on old-timey prospector. Besides his facial hair, his most impressive feature is his scrappy vocals. He’s not what you’d call a “technical” singer, but has a lot of war-torn soul. His voice is somewhere between Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, but even

more raw. He’s been a session player, a sideman and a singer-songwriter with a ton of albums to his credit, and his sound is a combo of rock, soul, country, and blues. But really it’s all about how he plays those styles, which is all heart. AC

JOHN JORGENSON BLUEGRASS BAND Led by blisteringly fast guitarist and mandolinist John Jorgenson, the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band features four legendary artists collaborating to create outstanding, contemporary bluegrass music. Founded by Jorgenson and banjoist Herb Pedersen, who formed the Desert Blues Band along with Chris Hillman from the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, this outfit also features Jon Randall, who has performed with Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, and Sam Bush, on guitar, and Mark Fain, who spent 13 years performing with Ricky Skaggs and Ken-

MONDAY 5/23 JACK DEJOHNETTE TRIO If NEA Jazz Master Jack DeJohnette had to rest on his laurels as a drummer, he’d be very comfortable indeed.

His extraordinary five-decade career includes epochal recordings with Charles Lloyd (Forest Flower), Miles Davis (Bitches Brew and On the Corner), Pat Metheny (80/81), and more than a dozen “Standards Trio” albums with Keith Jarrett. But even more significantly, he’s made essential contributions as a composer, bandleader, world music trailblazer (and even pianist) on some two dozen sessions under his own name. His trio with pianist George Colligan and bassist Jerome Harris is a formidable ensemble that moves in sly and unpredictable ways.

delic pioneers return to Moe’s Alley for a set of class Purple Sage wisdom and fun. Originally formed in 1969 by John Dawson and Jerry Garcia, the band would go through several lineup changes (often with Grateful Dead members floating in and out of the ranks) before their self-titled 1971 debut. After a breakup in 1997, NRPS reunited in 2005 with original members David Nelson and Buddy Cage leading the way. While Dawson remained retired in Mexico, he gave his blessing to the Riders before his death in 2009, and something tells me his spirit will be dancing at this show. MW

Described as hard-drivin’ California honky-tonk, Miss Lonely Hearts is a staple of Santa Cruz’s thriving roots and country scene. But where some acts might be content to strum guitars sweetly while singing tender tunes of love and loss, MLH grabs life, liquor and love by the horns and emerges with a rebelrousing sound that sets dance floors rocking deep into the night. As Devil Makes Three’s Cooper McBean has said, “Will they drink you out of house and home, dance with every lady in the house, and wear nothing but snow pants while they do it? You just never know what might happen when these guys come to town.” This show is a double album release party, along with the Carolyn Sills Combo, and also features the McCoy Tyler Band.

Banking games spark hostage drama in fleet thriller ‘Money Monster’ BY LISA JENSEN

48

R

emember in Network, when Peter Finch played that fedup TV news anchorman?

“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it any more!” was his rallying cry. The news hasn’t gotten any better since then, and the media is more a focus for outrage than ever—especially in this era of “reality” television. All of which comes into play in Money Monster, a smart, fastpaced thriller in which a disgruntled Everyman, burned by the system, takes to the airwaves to vent his anger.

Written by Jamie Linden, Alan DiFiore, and Jim Kouf, the movie was directed by actress Jodie Foster—who has starred in enough thrillers by

now to know what she’s doing. The narrative unfolds in real time (a fleet 98 minutes), not only in the New York City studio where a TV host is taken hostage—live, on-air—but in a couple of other key flashpoints around the world that turn out to be connected to the hostage drama.

George Clooney stars as Lee Gates, host of a financial advisory TV program called Money Monster. Lee is a showman; he doesn’t just advise which stocks to buy or sell, he drives home his points by donning a top hat and dancing with showgirls, slamming a giant red buzzer on his desk, or running a few frames of vintage monster movies to express his fear, or

zeal, about the market. It’s all showbiz to Lee, barely held in check by his exasperated-but-forgiving director, Patty (Julia Roberts). “Your money better be faster than the other guy’s,” is his mantra.

One day, with the crew assembled for their live broadcast, Patty tells Lee that his interview guest, the CEO of a financial conglomerate called IBID, is a no-show, but they have an onscreen chat lined up with the company’s PR chief, Diane Lester (Caitriona Balfe, who plays Claire on Outlander). IBID stock has recently taken a dive, which company spokespeople are calmly blaming on a renegade computer algorithm—a “glitch.”

But the show has hardly started when a deliveryman sneaks backstage, and suddenly appears on camera waving a gun. He is Kyle Budwell, (Jack O’Connell), a little guy who’s just lost his life savings investing in IBID, and was hoping to get some answers from the CEO. But as long as he’s there, he forces Lee into a flak jacket loaded with explosives (Kyle holds the trigger), and makes him watch a video clip of last week’s show (called up on command by Patty in the control booth, so as not to make the gunman any more testy), in which Lee crows that investing in IBID is as safe as a savings account.

There’s plenty of blame to go around, with predatory, unregulated Big Banks routinely making a meal of small investors. But while Lee insists at first that he’s not the bad guy in this scenario, he begins to re-evaluate his role in the system.

Meanwhile, forbidden to cut the live feed by Kyle, Patty sends everyone out of the studio except the camera and sound crew, while the NYPD surrounds the building—and assembles its best snipers.

The plot is full of ironic twists and emotional shifts that defy our expectations. We’ve seen a thousand hostage dramas where the gunman’s loved one is brought in to reason with him, but it plays out differently here. Lee’s attempt to play the star card and rally the support of his loyal viewers also has unexpected results. Diane’s feeble attempt to spout the party line in defense of IBID gets Kyle, Lee, Patty, and the whole crew incensed, then launches Diane into her own investigation into the shady activities of her boss, Walt Camby (Dominic West).

None of this narrative would be possible without the splitsecond technology that connects a programmer in Seoul, hackers in Finland, and strikers in South Africa, with Patty’s crew, as the live drama unfolds. The immediacy of modern technology is the fascinating subtext, where billions are earned, lost, or diverted electronically, and no one has to consider the messy human cost.

MONEY MONSTER *** (out of four)With George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Jack O'Connell. Written by Jamie Linden, Alan DiFiore, and Jim Kouf. Directed by Jodie Foster.

A Sony Pictures release. Rated R. 99 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ANGRY BIRDS While we may have thought that an entire movie based on a popular game would be really, really stupid, this one looks fairly inventive and maybe somewhat hilarious—also, OMG, these characters are adorable. Red is the angriest of the birds, although he won’t admit he has an anger problem (even when he accidentally kicks a baby bird flying instead of the intended soccer ball).

He’s misunderstood, and no one pays attention to his mistrust of the strange and mysterious pigs who arrive on their shores—until they steal all the eggs. Clay Kaytis, Fergal Reilly direct.

Peter Dinklage, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon co-star. (PG) 97 minutes.

HIGH-RISE Based on the classic by J.G. Ballard, this tale of how modern life might go so, so wrong is set in a highrise that has it all: grocery stores, malls, parties, parks, stratification of the classes, power outages, and a looming war for dominance. Ben Wheatley directs. Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller co-star. (R) 119 minutes.

MAY 18-24, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

NEIGHBORS 2 The neighbors are back, and this time they’re up against a bunch of shrewd sorority sisters.

Plus, more ridiculous antics, terrifying drugs, crazy plots and shots of Zac Efron shirtless. Nicholas Stoller directs.

Chloë Grace Moretz, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne co-star. (R) 92 minutes.

50

THE NICE GUYS Ryan Gosling as a bumbling, crass, detective with a God complex, and a shameless, greasy Russell Crowe to keep him in check— with all the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll of a mob-infested 1970s Los Angeles.

These gentlemen have never looked better. Shane Black directs. Angourie Rice co-stars. (R) 116 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. 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. You guys!), plus the really 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 costars. (R) 124 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 co-star. (PG-13) 153 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.

COMPADRES Garza is a Mexican cop who, when his girlfriend is kidnapped by a drug cartel, turns not to his own unit, but instead to a pale, red-haired, vaguely Trump-reminiscent American teenager. Enrique Begne directs.

Omar Chaparro, Joey Morgan, Eric Roberts co-star. 102 minutes.

THE DARKNESS Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Morrison showcase expert parenting skills when they lose their kid in the Grand Canyon for a hot second and then are all freaked out when he gets possessed by a freaky Native American-ish demon thing.

Greg McLean directs. (PG-13) 92 minutes.

DOUGH Jonathan Pryce is a Jewish baker nearing retirement age with the motto “I’ll take it easy when I’m dead” who’s struggling to keep his business afloat. Things turn around when he begrudgingly hires a young Darfuri Muslim boy who adds a little extra somethin’ to the dough, sending sales and customers to new *cough* heights. John Goldschmidt directs.

Philip Davis and Ian Hart co-star.

94 minutes.

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 underthe-radar-flicks 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 tale about maniacal skinheads and you might just get something terrifyingly good. Jeremy Saulnier directs. (R) 95 minutes.

A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING Tom Hanks plays Dave Eggers’ minorly depressive Alan Clay—a man who travels to an almost-there Saudi Arabia to salvage his mediocre, mostly-broken life. But we’re sure Hollywood will put some sort of inspirational twist on it...right? Tom Tykwer directs. Tom Hanks, Alexander Black, Sarita Choudhury co-star. (R) 97 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 preSnow White rendering. Cedric NicolasTroyan directs. (PG-13) 114 minutes.

KEANU Dear cat lovers, stoners, maybe cat-loving stoners or stoneloving cats: rejoice, a movie by Key and Peele all about the world’s most adorable kitten. 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 heavyhitters Billy Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, and Scarlett Johansson. Jon Favreau directs. (PG) 105 minutes.

THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY Based on the true story of the incredible mathematical mind of Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar who came to Cambridge during WWI from a poor upbringing in Madras, India, The Man Who Knew Infinity is a look into how one outsider revolutionized mathematical theory. Matt Brown directs. Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons, Malcolm Sinclair co-star. (PG-13) 108 minutes.

THE MEDDLER Walking into her daughter’s house unannounced, recruiting the family doctor as a future son-in-law, giving sex advice to her daughter’s friends and then buying their wedding dress, Susan Sarandon is every mother, ever.

Lorene Scafaria directs. Rose Byrne and J.K. Simmons co-star. (PG-13) 100 minutes.

MONEY MONSTER George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunited on the big screen! Unfortunately, it’s under slightly stressful conditions as Clooney plays a financial TV host who is held up on air by a crazed investor who takes over the studio. Jodie Foster directs. Jack O’Connell costars. (R) 98 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.

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.

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 coauthor 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 I can’t even sum it up here; rather, I recommend reading 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. Since it wasn’t screened in advance, I can’t speak to the content (I will actually go see it before drawing conclusions on that), but this line from a review in the Guardian speaks volume: “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.

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 formula owned by gluten is also the very thing that lends structure, toothiness, texture, and perhaps even flavor to the creations in which it turns up. It’s possible that somewhere there’s a gluten-free oatmeal product with something resembling flavor and texture that won’t produce a gag response.

But it’s not made in Glastonbury, Connecticut. I’ve suspended my research until further notice, having learned it’s the instant oats that are the problem. Avoid those!

an it be true? Was it really 47 years ago that courageous natural food entrepreneurs Richard Josephson and Gary Bascou opened up their “alternative” home of bulk whole foods, organic produce, a natural food deli, and outstanding baked goods? Yes it was, and now the mightily expanded Staff of Life Natural Foods Market—located at 1266 Soquel Ave. since 2011—is celebrating this latest milestone with an afternoon gala from 12:304:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 22.

A TALE OF TWO GLUTENS As many of us are happily discovering, there is such a thing as gluten-free glamour—for example, the walnut carrot tea cake from Manresa Bread, available locally at Verve. Or, the mighty almond apricot biscotto from Companion Bakeshop.

And then there’s gluten-free glop. Always willing to do the arduous field work needed to stay ahead of the fickle waves of food production, I found my hand reaching out for a box of Bakery on

Main™ instant gluten-free oatmeal, which contained (in addition to a variety of intriguing grains) glutenfree oats. Why not? I thought. After enough almond milk, salt, and demerara sugar was added, how bad could it be? Well, dear reader, it was—to be diplomatic—not good.

I’ve sampled papier mâché paste with more pizzazz. With the texture of raw dough and the flavor of wet paper, this stuff was inedible. Even with the accompanying sex appeal of chia, flax, amaranth, and quinoa to bolster the sagging performance of gluten-free oats, it was almost comically bad. Goodbye to $4. It seems that the mystical chemical

Fans of Aptos’ spicy Ambrosia India Bistro are already poised for a new destination. A second installment of Ambrosia is scheduled to open up in Scotts Valley in a few months. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, the wait is finally over! Lillian’s Italian Kitchen (the house of Joe and Charlotte Moreno) has begun taking reservations for dinner at its all-new, spacious digs at the corner of Seabright and Soquel. The vivacious new 80-seat dining room will be open by the time you read this. Now you can exhale and tuck into some serious meatballs and gravy. See you there! lilliansitaliankitchen.com.

Don’t forget the Flower Festival and Feast (Jozseph Schultz!) happening at a Bonny Doon garden estate from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, May 22. Go to COBHA.org/news for tickets.

And good bye to Austin Kaye and the Back Porch, a delicious and hardworking fixture of our community, moving to San Diego in June. Last Farmers Market appearance for Back Porch will be Saturday, May 28. Stop by, order something mouth-watering and wish the Kayes the best.

LATE-BREAKING DELI

Restaurateur Paul Cocking called to let me know that he has the green light to purchase the old Sentinel Printers building and launch a deli next door to his Gabriella Cafe. “Along the lines of Gayle’s,” Cocking added, “but with less emphasis on pastries.”

Cocking envisions outdoor seating as well as an in-house U-shaped wine and food bar. Major funding is already in place, but Cocking is looking for a few more investors to make this project fly. Maybe you? Invest in downtown culinary history. Contact Paul at 831-457-1677.

ptos has been in desperate need of a good juice-smoothiefrozen yogurt spot, so Diane Carver and John Lindberg took matters into their own hands. Owner Lindberg wanted to open a frozen yogurt joint, and general manager Carver had been dreaming of opening a juice/smoothie shop for 10 years. They collaborated on Juicy Sweet, which opened in January.

We spoke with Carver who is behind all the recipes, some of which she invented years earlier.

With so many smoothie and frozen yogurt places, it can be hard to stand out. What’s your emphasis?

DIANE CARVER: A lot of it is on health. The smoothies are all whole food, nutrient-based. But then there’s fun, too. We have 36 toppings for frozen yogurt. It’s all self-serve, and a lot of fun toppings: chocolatecovered marshmallows, we have chocolate Sriracha sauce—it just has a little heat to it. Sriracha is so popular on everything now. Might as well mix it with chocolate.

SMOOTHIE MOVE Diane Carver of Aptos’ Juicy Sweet. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Downtown Santa Cruz

What do you recommend to first timers?

It seems like a lot of people like the Yogi Berri, which is fruit and yogurt.

The Face Lift is our most popular juice.

It has apple, lemon, a lot of greens: kale, spinach, celery, cucumber.

What about for smoothies?

I’d say the Holy Cacao. It has raw cacao powder. That one’s really healthy. It has maca, coconut oil, almond butter.

It’s really rich and creamy. It has a chocolate shake consistency.

You do juice shots as well?

Our most popular juice shot is the Cough Drop. It hits all the senses. It has pineapple, apple, there’s a little bit of Himalayan salt and honey.

It’s really good. All the juices are beneficial, health-wise. The Cough Drop is for people who aren’t feeling good. It has honey, which soothes your throat. Salt and pepper helps clean out your lungs. There’s usually a purpose to them. But I’ve put a high value on balancing the flavors, and it appeals to everybody, the novice juicer to the veteran juicer.

What’s your most unusual juice?

I’d probably say the Pink Dragon.

It has dragon fruit, or pitaya. So it’s a bright pink color. It also has cinnamon. It’s a nice combination of flavors, nothing that really overwhelms you. Pitaya is a little bitter, and then the pineapple sweetens it and then the cinnamon adds a nice spice. It’s a hard one to explain, actually.

Odonata Wines Crisp Rosé from last season perfect for a hot summer day BY JOSIE COWDEN

A

fter judging the Dare to Pair Food & Wine competition last month in the Surf City Vintners complex on Ingalls Street, I dashed over to Odonata Wines on Mission Street to get a bottle of a brand-new release of 2015 Rosé of Mourvedre, Machado Creek Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley.

A gorgeous light rhubarb-colored wine full of rich minerals and tropical fruits, it’s a Rosé lover’s delight for a reasonable $18, and an easy pairing with a variety of food.

“It has super aromatic peaches and stone fruit on the nose, crisp acidity and minerality in the palate,” says Odonata winemaker Denis Hoey.

“We picked, cold-soaked on skins for two days, and pressed to a stainlesssteel tank, where it is cold-fermented for a long period of time. It’s a taste of last season’s harvest,” Hoey says.

“Drink it on a hot summer day or with spicy fare where you might otherwise have a beer.”

Hoey named his winery Odonata after an order of insects encompassing dragonflies and damselflies, which he happens to love, and each label’s artwork depicts a beautiful dragonfly.

Odonata also makes Malbec, Petite Sirah, Sparkling Rosé, and a wonderful Dessert Petite Syrah that is perfect for after dinner. Check them out for yourselves at either of Odonata’s two locations.

Odonata Santa Cruz, 2343 Mission St., Santa Cruz, 566-5147. odonatawines. com. Odonata is open Friday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Open for every First Friday Art Walk. Odonata South, 645 River Road, Salinas. Open noon to 5 p.m.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GEMINI FESTIVAL OF HUMANITY

The Gemini Solar Festival of Goodwill, of Humanity, and World Invocation Day occurs at 2:14 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, at 1.14 degrees Gemini. This is the third Spring Festival and the first of two blue moons of Gemini. Very auspicious, blue moons (which means two full moons) in the time of Gemini.

As the light of Gemini enters the Earth, the forces of reconstruction also stream in. They sweep throughout the Earth, producing in humanity (seeking God’s Will) a dedication and an aspiration to express Goodwill. Goodwill produces Right Human Relations, which produce the first anchoring of Peace on Earth. During the festival of the Christ, the Hierarchy (inner spiritual government) and New Group of World Servers distribute to humanity the Will-to-Good (the Wesak blessing) from the Father.

The Buddha’s blessing, safe-guarded by the Christ since the last full moon, is released to humanity. During the Gemini festival all things

polarized come into harmony and unity. The Gemini festival invoking world fellowship, represents the work of both Buddha and Christ (brothers). During the festival, the Christ, representing humanity as its elder brother, reads the last sermon of the Buddha. The three spring festivals and the two great teachers, together, through united invocation and rhythm, stabilize East and West, humanity and the kingdoms for the coming year.

Since 1952, humanity worldwide has celebrated World Invocation Day, a global day of prayer and meditation where people of different spiritual paths invoke together the energies of Light, Love and Spiritual Purpose, using the Great Invocation.

The NGWS invites everyone to join the Gemini Festival World Invocation day (on inner levels) by reciting the Great Invocation together.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Notice your many and varied goals this year, climbing the ladder to reach those goals. Notice also that a new authority, one finer-tuned, responsible, and aware of the importance to serve others, has appeared as new values in your life. These are the beginnings of great accomplishments, as well as great challenges. They are the qualities of the Soul. You have done well. Keep climbing.

As thoughts from the past appear and reappear, your response to them determines how you feel each day. If saddened or in grief, take Ignatia Amara (homeopath).

Some thoughts may urge forgiveness, contact and care of another. Distorted remembrances and beliefs hinder your deep creative self. Develop intentions for Goodwill.

It creates Right Remembering and Right Relations.

More love follows.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 18, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Your true self is a leader and teacher everyone seeks in these times of unpredictable change and relationship instabilities. Is a heath crisis making work difficult?

Does it seem that time has lessened? Do you barely have time for other pursuits? Continue research and contact with others also concerned for humanity’s future. Expand your garden. Build a green house. Find land for community, humanity and its children.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Communication expands internally, becoming full and rich with memories. Though it’s internal, you realize the need to communicate thoughts to others who can listen with care, ask the right questions, and maintain confidentiality when needed. Seek these people. Let others see your strengths as well as the need for security. Don’t keep secrets. Share a bit more. It’s safe.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Offer the praise and recognition everyone in your life needs by articulating your gratitude to them ceaselessly. You’re blessed with creative gifts manifested as outer abilities. A new identity is taking shape. It’s a deeper Soul identity. One gift of the Soul is recognizing the spiritual purpose behind all relationships. Can you see these? Or are you caught in a duality of purpose? A Gemini test. Stand always with intentions for Goodwill. This is your festival.

Yes, more change is coming, having its own sense of timing—and this can lead you to feel impatience. A new world stage is being prepared. Your sign creates publishers, world travelers, foodies, writers, philosophers.

Nothing overshadows your sense of adventure. Maintain the present direction. Let the doors (of perception) open by themselves. A. Huxley’s words/book.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 The work demanded in your life may feel overwhelming.

So much to do, so many people to mentor, so many thoughts, so many emotions trying to express themselves all at the same time. Difficult communication creates a touch of sadness. Someone(s) needs communication. Relationships could feel hidden, like art objects yet to be found. Someone thinks of you daily.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A profound creativity is building within you. Some Virgos become pregnant with new physical life. Some will gestate a new level of artistry and creativity. You’re being impressed from all levels, high and low, to bring beauty forth. Each day recognize the life force within all kingdoms by expressing clear unconditional love to everyone and everything. Study essential oils and flower remedies.

Spiritual forces, ever-directing, inform you to rest from climbing that ever-present ladder reaching into the heavens of success. It’s good to unwind from your extraordinary capable sense of responsibility. We award your high standards applied to all endeavors of life.

Now you must relax and rejuvenate before your next tasks appear. Begin each day with the words, “I have the intention for Goodwill in all aspects of my life.”

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 All realities in life begin by having needs, then hoping, then imagining things appearing. Inner life is shaped by these until one day dreams appear in form and matter.

Attempt to clarify what’s important, of value, and what you must pursue next. Sometimes this is difficult. Some of us live only in the moment. But within each moment is a vision of the future. Try to capture it.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You had future plans. However, they are changing daily.

Create collaboration with another. It will take you far into the future, creating the template for a new future.

You understand the changes occurring on our planet.

You “seek to serve and not exact due service, to heal not hurt others.” At times you are hurting. This is so compassion deepens—your particular task. The future isn’t formed yet. It must be imagined by all of us.

Demonstrate this daily.

The more difficult, the greater the Initiation. Do you have visions and dreams for a different future? Envision and (day) dream more. In between health crisis and responsibilities, glimmers of dreams occur. Record them.

I-CHIN CHOW,10-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Accounting specialist Hobbies: Cooking, bike riding, gardening, movies Astrological Sign: Virgo NOAH PETER,40-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Lab technician Hobbies: Hiking, biking, disc golf, gardening Astrological Sign: Taurus What do you folks enjoy cooking? PETER: “She’s the cook. I’m the dishwasher. Oh, I do make breakfast.”

I-CHIN: “I’m from Taiwan and do mostly Asian/ Chinese. It’s great that Shopper’s carries fresh daikon, bok choy, brocollini, numerous types of sprouts, and an unique variety of mushrooms. I also make Mexican and Italian; I always get Shopper’s fresh pasta.” PETER: “We get all our meats here: pork, ground meat, chicken, and seafood too. I-Chin makes a great chicken clay pot dish, with mushrooms and basil. It requires the chicken to be cut a certain way, and the butchers will do that for us which is neat. The butchers know us — they don’t mind that we request unique special cuts.”

You see Shopper’s as an important community business?

PETER: “Absolutely. For one, they employ a lot of young people; for many it’s their first job.” I-CHIN: “You see employees that have been here awhile: that must mean that the owner treats them well so they stay longer.” PETER: “And there’re all these local business that Shopper’s supports who supply breads, eggs, organic produce, ice cream, chocolates, and more.” I-CHIN: “Local or not, quality is important.

When I buy Shopper’s products, I don’t have to wonder if the quality will be the same as the last time.” PETER: “You have less waste as the meat and produce are not pre-packaged. You select only what you want.”

You find Shopper’s to be family-friendly? I-CHIN: “We feel welcomed when we walk in. Our son, Ian, gets a lot of attention from the butchers and feels comfortable here — they offer him cookies and treats, and he likes going shopping with us.” PETER: “Shopper’s has been here since 1938 — few businesses last that long. They know how to to take care of their customers. Like their wine; they have a ton of it but they actually have a wine person who knows about them.” I-CHIN CHOW: “The last few times we’ve inquired about pairing wine with certain foods we’ve gotten great tips.” PETER: “And we always hit the cheese section. You can get a whole blue cheese or Parmesan, not just crumbled.”

“Quality is important. When I buy Shopper's products, I don't have to wonder if the quality will be the same as the last time.”
