OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE What I find most impressive about documentary filmmakers is their conviction.

It takes incredible belief in the importance of what is often a very obscure subject to mount the usually years-long effort to bring a film about it to the screen. Talking to the directors and producers behind several of the documentaries at the Santa Cruz Film Festival for this week’s cover story, I gotta say my favorite thing was hearing about how they cycled through feelings of doubt, confidence, overconfidence, outrage and doubt again while working on their passion projects. Like, “How can no one know about this? I have to tell everyone about this! Wait, does anyone want to watch a film about this?”

THINKING SMART

4

Regarding the April 13 article about Smart Growth (“Building Up”): how livable Santa Cruz will be in 2040 does not depend as much on the height or placement of new buildings, but on how pedestrian and bike-friendly the spaces between them are. New biking and pedestrian corridors and space for outdoor seating are certainly essential, but a true test is how the city and developers take into account corridors that already exist. In the planned development at the corner of Soquel and Trevathan/Hagemann, the alleyway behind May’s Sushi serves as the connecting point to Arana Gulch and the harbor for joggers, kids on bikes, strollers, dog walkers, and many others from surrounding neighborhoods. Will this corner and alley be developed without adding designated space for bikes and pedestrians—turning the quiet alley into a dangerous concentration of two-way traffic that forces locals to now drive to the Gulch?

Or will the plan value and consider locals who have used this corridor for decades?

The answer to this question and others like it, in every place high-rise apartments are

What makes it even better is that the films that came out of these efforts are so diverse and fascinating; in fact, this may be my favorite group of documentaries from any year of the festival so far (and I was covering it back in its first year, 2002). Of course, I could only write about so many of this year’s docs in my story, and it was crazy-making to have to leave out others, like Out of Sight, the in-depth look at how we think about trash (made by UCSC film students), and Major!, the story of transgender crusader Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. Plus, there are some really interesting narrative films like the post-apocalyptic tennis film (!!!) The Open. So, I hope you’ll read the story and then go straight to santacruzfilmfestival.org to see the full schedule of films, and then head over to their new, rather ingenious festival set-up at the Tannery Arts Center the first week of June.

We are so fortunate that Jimmy Panetta is interested in representing our community and serving our nation in Congress! If there is one thing we all know, it is that at the political level, we don’t and won’t agree on every issue that faces our community, let alone our nation. Therefore, we must rely on people who share a common set of values, make thoughtful decisions and have the ability to productively listen to and work with others to achieve a greater good.

These are the precise characteristics that Jimmy represents.

Having been raised in our community, he understands our rich and diverse history, appreciates our current needs and has a vision for what is important for our future.

He has served our country as a veteran, spent a career as a public servant and volunteered his time and effort to countless organizations in our community. He clearly cares and clearly serves.

Jimmy was instrumental in helping our area get the first phase of the Central >8 Coast Veterans Cemetery started

DESIGNS ON GREATNESS

Santa Cruz’s celebration of art and the river returns in June, which the city has declared San Lorenzo River Month. At this year’s Ebb and Flow, Heidi Cramer is creating a public art sculpture that draws on the local landscape, plants and animals. The revelry will peak on June 18 with a walk along the levee, an art installation, and a Tanniversary event celebrating the Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center’s new dance facility.

A local marketing/digital design agency recently joined the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, the largest certifier of womenowned businesses in the country. It isn’t the first big honor for McDill Associates, owned by Melissa McDill, who happens to be the mother of local singer/songwriter McCoy Tyler. Over the last three decades, the Soquel-based group has also won a number of awards for packaging and graphic design.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 25 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 To convey the best strategy for you to employ in the coming weeks, I have drawn inspiration from a set of instructions composed by aphorist Alex Stein: Scribble, scribble, erase. Scribble, erase, scribble. Scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble. Erase, erase, erase. Scribble, erase. Keep what’s left. In other words, Aries, you have a mandate to be innocently empirical, robustly experimental, and cheerfully improvisational—with the understanding that you must also balance your fun with ruthless editing.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being,” wrote Taurus memoirist May Sarton. That’s a dauntingly high standard to live up to, but for the foreseeable future it’s important that you try.

In the coming weeks, you will need to maintain a heroic level of potency and excellence if you hope to keep your dreams on track and your integrity intact. Luckily, you will have an extraordinary potential to do just that. But you’ll have to work hard to fulfill the potential—as hard as a hero on a quest to find the real Holy Grail in the midst of all the fake Holy Grails.

GEMINI May21–June20 “Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now,” said novelist Doris Lessing. “The conditions are always impossible.” I hope you take her advice to heart, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, there is no good excuse for you to postpone your gratification or to procrastinate about moving to the next stage of a big dream. It’s senseless to tell yourself that you will finally get serious as soon as all the circumstances are perfect. Perfection does not and will never exist. The future is now. You’re as ready as you will ever be.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Norway is mountainous, but its neighbor Finland is quite flat. A group of Norwegians has launched a campaign to partially remedy the imbalance. They propose that to mark the hundredth anniversary of Finland’s independence, their country will offer a unique birthday gift: the top of Halti mountain. Right now the 4,479-foot peak is in Norway. But under the proposed plan, the border between countries will be shifted so that the peak will be transferred to Finland. I would love you to contemplate generous gestures like this in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’s a highly favorable time for you to bestow extra imaginative blessings. (P.S. The consequences will be invigorating to your own dreams.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

Proposed experiment: Imagine that all the lovers and would-be lovers you have ever adored are in your presence. Review in detail your memories of the times you felt thrillingly close to them. Fill yourself up with feelings of praise and gratitude for their mysteries. Sing the love songs you love best. Look into a mirror and rehearse your “I only have eyes for you” gaze until it is both luminous and smoldering. Cultivate facial expressions that are full of tender, focused affection. Got all that, Leo? My purpose in urging you to engage in these practices is that it’s the high sexy time of year for you. You have a license to be as erotically attractive and wisely intimate as you dare.

Sometimes the love you experience for those you care about makes you feel vulnerable. You may worry about being out of control or swooping so deeply into your tenderness that you lose yourself. Giving yourself permission to cherish and nurture can make you feel exposed, even unsafe. But none of that applies in the coming weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, love will be a source of potency and magnificence for you. It will make you smarter, braver, and cooler. Your words of power will be this declaration

by Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani: “When I love / I feel that I am the king of time / I possess the earth and everything on it / and ride into the sun upon my horse.” (Translated

by Lena Jayyusi and Christopher Middleton.)

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others,” wrote editor Jacob M. Braude. Normally I would endorse his poignant counsel, but for the foreseeable future I am predicting that the first half of it won’t fully apply to you. Why? Because you are entering a phase that I regard as unusually favorable for the project of transforming yourself. It may not be easy to do so, but it’l be easier than it has been in a long time. And I bet you will find the challenge to reimagine, reinvent, and reshape yourself at least as much fun as it is hard work.

Russian poet Vera Pavlova tells about how once when she was using a pen and paper to jot down some fresh ideas, she got a paper cut on her palm. Annoying, right?

On the contrary. She loved the fact that the new mark substantially extended her life line. The palmistry-lover in her celebrated. I’m seeing a comparable twist in your near future, Scorpio. A minor inconvenience or mild setback will be a sign that a symbolic revitalization or enhancement is nigh.

French painter Henri Matisse didn’t mind being unmoored, befuddled, or in-between. In fact, he regarded these states as being potentially valuable to his creative process. Here’s his testimony: “In art, truth and reality begin when one no longer understands what one is doing or what one knows.” I’m recommending that you try out his attitude, Cancerian. In my astrological opinion, the time has come for you to drum up the inspirations and revelations that become available when you don’t know where the hell you are and what the hell you’re doing.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

I believe that every one of us should set aside a few days every year when we celebrate our gaffes, our flaws, and our bloopers. During this crooked holiday, we are not embarrassed about the false moves we have made. We don’t decry our bad judgment or criticize our delusional behavior. Instead, we forgive ourselves our sins. We work to understand and feel compassion for the ignorance that led us astray. Maybe we even find redemptive value in our apparent lapses; we come to see that they saved us from some painful experience or helped us avoid getting a supposed treasure that would have turned out to be a booby prize. Now would be a perfect time for you to observe this crooked holiday.

River and through the Grand Canyon. Here’s how I suspect this meditation applies to you, Libra: There have been other times and there will be other times when you will have good reasons for not embarking on an available adventure. But now is not one of those moments.

“Never turn down an adventure without a really good reason,” says author Rebecca Solnit in her book The Far Away Nearby. That’s a thought she had as she contemplated the possibility of riding a raft down the Colorado

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In November 1916, at the height of World War I, the Swedish schooner Jönköping set sail for Finland, carrying 4,400 bottles of champagne intended for officers of the occupying Russian army. But the delivery was interrupted. A hostile German submarine sunk the boat, and the precious cargo drifted to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The story didn’t end there, however. More than eight decades later, a Swedish salvage team retrieved a portion of the lost treasure, which had been well-preserved in the frosty abyss. Taste tests revealed that the bubbly alcoholic beverage was “remarkably light-bodied, extraordinarily elegant and fantastically fresh, with discreet, slow-building toasty aromas of great finesse.”

(Source: tinyurl.com/toastyaromas.) I foresee the potential of a similar resurrection in your future, Pisces.

Revolutionary magnetic helmet seeks to treat patients with chronic depression BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

F

or as long as he can remember, Steve Chappell felt isolated from the world. Even among friends there seemed some chasm separating him from meaningful human connection. The despair manifested in his body, pulsing into excruciating headaches that made it feel like his eyes would pop out.

From the time he was a child, he

struggled to get out of bed.

“It’s almost like I needed a training manual to be myself,” he says, “but I didn’t have one.”

Depression may have run in his family, but Chappell—an only child raised by a single, widowed mother— lacked a frame of reference. It took years of hospital visits before a doctor diagnosed him with a major depressive disorder, giving him a

name for what ailed him.

But it also marked the beginning of a three-decade struggle to treat the disorder, which sucked the joy out of life, and, at times, sent him to the brink of suicide. Medications— Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, to name a few of the 13 he has tried—made him nauseous, sometimes violently ill.

“The psychotropic drug thing did not work for me,” >13

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 25-31, 2016

After enduring a tumultuous several months, KUSP is still on the air through at least the end of June, despite an albatross of debt and massive staff cuts to the community public radio station.

“We are indeed still here and still broadcasting,” General Manager Alex Burke says with a confident smile. Unfortunately, she’s currently the only employee left on KUSP’s payroll.

“We felt it was important to keep trying,” she says. “We heard from over 1,000 people during our last [fundraising] drive. Since the start of our new format we’ve heard from over 700 new members, which is pretty exceptional.”

Burke—who previously served as the station’s operations director and has been with the station since 2008—appointed GM on May 6, as the station prepared its final live broadcast that same day.

The station, 88.9 FM on the dial, had been spinning positivity just two and a half months ago when it hired interim GM Bonnie Jean Primbsch, who has since been laid off along with five others. In the weeks leading up to those layoffs, KUSP wrapped up its Mayday Campaign, which launched April 1, aiming to raise a minimum of $300,000 but securing only $114,000.

“In public radio, people, listeners always hear, ‘We’re going to go off the air if you don’t donate,’” Burke says. “But we really mean it.

When we get to zero cash, we’re done.”

With the grim June deadline quickly approaching, KUSP is taking drastic measures to keep the lights on and the music flowing. In essence, KUSP is trying to revive itself and painlessly put itself to sleep at the same time.

“What we’re doing now is a two-track approach, which may seem contradictory to some people, but it’s what we have to do,” says board member Stephen Slade.

Elected in January, Slade served as the station’s news director in the 1980s and as its development director a decade later.

“One is to see if we survive, the other is to sell the station.”

NEWS HEAD SPACE <11 says Chappell, a Silicon Valley data scientist who runs his own company. “I can tell you, it had the benefit of ruining two marriages.”

Last year, he hit bottom.

To save his third marriage, Chappell considered more extreme measures, namely shock therapy or a brain implant, before turning to a novel, apparently safer alternative: a magnetic helmet.

According to Dr. Saad Shakir, the San Jose-based neuropsychiatrist who treated Chappell, electromagnetic therapy is the best available treatment with the fewest side effects.

Called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), the technology involves placing a cushioned helmet over a patient’s head while a machine delivers electromagnetic pulses to affected parts of the brain.

In 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment for patients resistant to depression medications and talk therapy. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, some 15 million Americans suffer from a major depressive disorder, but more than one-third fail to respond to antidepressants. A tenth—Chappell among them—have

a genetic immunity or can’t stomach the drugs because of the side effects.

Three years ago, the FDA signed off on a new variation of the magnetic pulse treatment developed

by Israeli company Brainsway.

Called deep TMS, the machine generates a powerful magnetic field that travels a few centimeters through the scalp and skull and into the prefrontal cortex. The magnetic field changes the electrical activity of neurons, temporarily altering the way brain cells communicate. Unlike electroshock therapy, in which patients get zapped by seizuretriggering electrodes affixed directly on the scalp, TMS targets specific regions of the brain.

Brain neurons respond to stimulation in a perpetual balancing act between excitement and inhibition.

Too much inhibition can lead to depression. Too much excitement can induce autism and seizures.

TMS treatment has shown some promise for neuropsychiatric conditions that seem to involve dysfunctioning brain circuits, including epilepsy, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and, though the evidence is still thin, schizophrenia. It has also been used to treat people with autism, attention-deficit disorders, tremors, addiction, bipolar disorder, chronic

pain and stroke.

“At first it was a little jarring,” Chappell says from a couch in Shakir’s sunlit office. “It feels mildly like a very small electrocution. Your face locks or twitches, some people get teary eyed.”

“Some patients describe it like a miniature jackhammer,” Shakir chimes in. “Or a woodpecker.”

The breakthrough for Chappell came this spring, halfway through the second week of treatment. For the first time in three decades, he says, his head cleared. About a month in, he felt calm, upbeat.

“The fog had lifted,” he says.

“Things felt much sharper. I was smiling and laughing, which had been so hard for me. That became almost every day as the treatment progressed.”

For Chappell, TMS dispelled the need for antidepressants. Still, he keeps a dose of “rescue medication” just in case and undergoes cognitive behavioral therapy to address negative thoughts.

“It’s not a cure-all,” Shakir says of TMS. “But it’s transformational for the right patients.”

Though American doctors have spent decades testing magnetic therapies for various mood disorders, it wasn’t until federal approval in the new >16

NEWS BRIEFS HASHED OUT

Sentinel story has since been taken down, but activist Denise Elerick, a critic of TBSC, says the whole event goes to show that criminal suspects are innocent until proven guilty for a reason.

Burtnett, who faces gun and drug charges, could not be reached for comment. TBSC founder Analicia Cube says Burtnett never held a leadership position, and that she doesn’t know him very well. “We’re all imperfect humans,” she says. “We all make mistakes.

James was obviously involved in this situation in my mind, but this doesn’t change whether someone can be involved in our community.”

Cube, who stresses that it can be difficult to run a Facebook group of 13,000 people, says a TBSC administrator took down the post because the thread was getting nasty, not because it was about Burtnett. Cube adds that she has grown tired of constant criticism directed at her and the group.

“I don’t have a personal vendetta against Take Back Santa Cruz,” Elerick says. “But I am frustrated with their golden persona. It seems like it’s waning, but I get frustrated when I see them on KSBW as if they’re some authority. They’re just angry parents.” JACOB PIERCE

By Datta Khalsa, Broker It is really quite remarkable how people define themselves in the course of working together, and in the recent sale I handled of a small restaurant from one local family to another, the parties did just that.

What started out as a simple plan for the sellers to find a larger space for their thriving cafe turned into a bit of an odyssey. I had met them a couple of years earlier when they put an offer on another restaurant I was representing that didn’t quite come together. I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction and got the sense that they would eventually be successful wherever they landed.

A year or two later, when they finally found the perfect location, I was pleased to get the call to help them with the sale of their old restaurant.

Even though this was a comparatively small deal, if you measure a deal’s success in terms of its impact for the people involved there really is no such thing, and it is always a pleasure to work with a quality client.

Their move was not without its challenges, the largest of which was a very expensive TI build-out and a plan approval process with the city that included 72 revisions. With a 6-month timeline, finding someone for the old space turned into an odyssey of its own.

On the other side, the buyer we found to purchase the business assets had to overcome multiple challenges herself. There were problems with a former partnership that held up her SBA loan, followed by problems with the lease and the ABC license, causing multiple delays at each step. It hardly came as a surprise when her partner for the new venture bailed out at the 11th hour, creating yet another delay while she scrambled to qualify for the loan on her own.

In the midst of it all, the intrepid buyer retained her composure and found a way to get the loan on her own thanks in large part to a very proactive SBA lender and the City of Santa Cruz’s Economic Development Department. And she compensated the sellers for their patience for the delays without so much as a complaint.

For their part, the sellers gave her the chance to succeed despite the fact that at that point we had a backup offer in place for a higher price.

Even though it meant that they were leaving money on the table, we were all rooting for the buyer after everything she had been through. To top it off, they instructed the escrow holder to add the extra compensation they had received from the buyer (for all the delays) directly to my commission.

Like I said, it is really quite remarkable how people define themselves in the course of working together.

Besides advocating to make Santa Cruz a safer place, Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC)’s Facebook page has also been heavily criticized for the way posters shame and lash out at vagrants and anyone who’s been arrested—whether or not they’ve been proven guilty.

But in their search for new offenders, TBSC members seemed to turn on one of their own last weekend, inflicting their trademark judgmental sarcasm on a trusted insider.

In a news story published Saturday, May 20, the Santa Cruz

Sentinel updated readers on an infamous hash oil explosion that happened on Beach Hill nearly three years ago. Three of the four defendants in that case are pleading not guilty, among them James Burtnett, one of TBSC’s most high-profile members.

That same day, someone posted the story to the TBSC page, suggesting that members attend the court hearings in September, and people began sarcastically sharing their two cents, including posts like, “Is this one of those victimless drug crimes I’ve been hearing about?”

Foundation granted the Board of Directors the authority to sell the station’s license if necessary. So far, no concrete offers have been made. Rumors swirled that KSCO owner Michael Zwerling was interested in purchasing the license, but he denies it.

“I would prefer to help KUSP by underwriting local programs like it used to broadcast,” Zwerling wrote GT in an email.

The last few years saw several managerial shake-ups and a growing debt resulting primarily from programming fees to play NPR programs. KUSP is $780,000 in the red, with $450,000—roughly 58 percent—of that owed to NPR, American Public Media and Pacifica, a radio group based in Berkeley. “The handwriting has been on the wall for a while,” Slade says.

Last September, the nonprofit completely revamped their programming

with a focus on music discovery. This meant cutting all NPR programming and choosing to air a mix of emerging musical artists with classic staples in each genre.

During the early stages of the change, they gained more than 700 new contributing members. However, it wasn’t enough. Since the Mayday Campaign ended, the station has raised an additional $10,000.

“We want to be able to say, ‘We tried to be stewards of the money we raised,’” says Burke.

Volunteers and former staff members have continued coming in to the station to help keep the airwaves alive. Burke may set the playlist for the day’s program, but several ex-programmers join her once a week to discuss their current favorite music and help choose which bands or songs to showcase.

“A lot of it isn’t Billboard hits, either,” she explains. “A lot of it really is emerging artists.

We’ll pull stuff from bandcamp.com and play things we just discovered and love.”

“People are very passionate about it,” Slade says. “I’m pretty impressed how hard everyone is working and how stressed they feel about the situation we’re in.”

All of this begs the question: What can be done to save KUSP? Monetary donations, of course, are the first answer. However, the problem runs much deeper than that. The worlds of radio and music have changed immensely over the past decade, with more and more young listeners using online sites or apps like Spotify to find their music.

“I think [we] have to make it easy for a certain group of people,” agrees Burke. “You have to show them on their phone where they can get the app.”

Another part of the problem is how noncommercial stations operate in the increasingly cutthroat world of sponsored airwaves. Even now that the station is operating on a much smaller budget, the industry model of short-term emergency

fundraising is not sustainable.

“I think it will be necessary for noncommercial, public stations to change their funding policy,” Zwerling says. “So that [underwriting] will become much less necessary to provide operating capital.”

Burke suggests KUSP could figure out alternative ways to raise money, such as regular fundraisers in the community or letting people donate at local stores.

“The organization needs to adapt to the current climate,” she says.

If KUSP, operating at $26,000 a month, makes it past the June deadline and continues to gain memberships, they will look into bringing back live voices from the community, in the hopes of rebuilding the programming they’ve been known for for the past 45 years.

“There’s a real potential to build a community of people who are excited about music and share it,” Burke says. “That’s why we do this.”

MODERN OLDERHOOD

16

I think it’s time to re-explain why I, as a Realtor, write about aging.

In my chosen career of the last 18 years I spend a very intimate 30100+ days a year with folks.

They are generally moving all of their worldly possessions, disengaging from friendships, from neighbors, from family members or from co-workers, depending on the geography of the move. They are leaving memories of raising kids, falling in love, deciding to divorce, conceiving a child, losing a spouse, the marriage of a child, losing a pet, or myriad other events that take place in the privacy and safety of a home.

They may also be leaving under duress as a result of a health challenge, change of financial fortune or to care for an aging parent. I have observed that the house is often the nest egg for that care, and it is happening with more frequency as 11,000 people a day turn 65.

I write because there is so much more to this tapestry of aging and home selling than the idea of a Reverse Mortgage being the answer to crisis at hand. I write because someone selling a home and perhaps supporting a parent with dementia is under extreme stress and may not know it.

It is complex, all of this life stuff, which is private of course until the prospect of selling pulls back the curtain and you must share most of your life with your Realtor, who is your Guardian and Gladiator (when chosen well) and someone who can best protect your interests if he/she knows your value proposition and what is important to you.

I have found that no two sellers see the event through the same lens; they instead have unique expectations of the process and each has something singularly important to them, depending on the catalyst for the transition.

In sharing with me, there is a bubbling up of compressed emotions or the awareness, often suddenly, of just how much this piece of real estate known as home means to them.

It often fosters conversation that goes well beyond the square foot value of the house, the cost of an escrow, or a bullet-pointed marketing plan. More often, what is implicit between me and my clients is, “take care of me while you sell my house.”

This involves being kind, gentle, firm, informed, efficient, proactive and most importantly, having the life experience and wisdom to see the subtext in all interactions. It is this that I write about in hopes that it emboldens people to talk about the messy stuff, to share with a family member, neighbor, Realtor, clergy member or spouse all that they are going through. This process of letting go and unpacking the emotional turbulence is always engendered by selling a home, particularly when overlaid with the care of a parent with whom they may or may not have a happy relationship.

The strange brew of past entanglements, fiscal oversight, human compassion, power and responsibility with no clear social structure to deal with it intrigues me.

Similar to the way mothers who have no medical training discuss diaper rash and vaccines over coffee, or the way that a good friend without a PhD in psychology listens to your marital woes, it is by sharing our human experience with other laypeople that we come to understand we are not alone, unsupported or flawed.

We must share this passage into Olderhood and our eventual passing if we are ever going to be fully human and anchored in the ephemeral nature of our days on the planet.

millennium that Shakir took up the cause. Once the FDA gave it the green light, he signed on as a provider and founded Silicon Valley TMS, one of 600 such centers nationwide and one of 11 in Northern California.

Still, questions persist about how many patients could benefit from TMS, which requires daily office visits for six weeks and maintenance sessions beyond that. Because it’s so new, there’s also a dearth of research on the long-term effects.

No one has figured out how to account for the placebo effect, in which patients feel better because they believe in the treatment. That would require building a fake TMS machine, and the electric charge that induces muscle twitching has proved a challenge to replicate.

Cost has been another barrier, with TMS running from $10,000 to $12,000 for a series of sessions and often not covered by insurance. Until recently, Shakir says, patients paid out-of-pocket at his for-profit clinic.

In the past few years, Kaiser, UnitedHealth, and Blue Cross have come on board. A few months ago, Cygna agreed to cover TMS. The American Psychiatric Association advises TMS for people who have tried one to four medications with little to no effect. But there’s no set standard for determining how a patient qualifies for the treatment.

“We’re trying to change that by raising the profile,” says Jon Miller, a retired Air Force veteran and TMS patient. As a pilot, Miller says, he lived in the shadows with his illness, which took a toll on his body and personal relationships.

Miller, who has been getting treatment from Shakir, sees TMS as an alternative to the “‘Band-Aid” approach of prescription pills for mentally ill vets.

Chappell says having the option of a non-pharmaceutical treatment gives him hope: “For each of us who have suffered for as long as we have, there is always a time where you go, ‘Enough, I shouldn’t be here any longer.’ That’s life threatening. You have to give people hope that they can get better.”

IN DECENT EXPOSURE REEL REPRESENTATION

Behind-the-scenes work on ‘Love Bite,’ a documentary about the art of Laurie Lipton.

Santa Cruz Film Festival filmmakers grapple with how to accurately portray the people and subcultures behind their stories

BY STEVE PALOPOLI

N

‘

offers the chance to look at that dynamic on a number of different levels.

“I think the films this year deal with that—doing justice to your subject in bringing it to the world,” says Logan Walker, the festival’s head of programming.

It’s a particularly good year to examine this deeper question of documentary ethics and aesthetics, since many of the documentaries at this year’s SCFF are themselves about visual art and artists who create representations and reflections of culture, including James Scott’s Love Bite: Laurie Lipton and Her Disturbing Black and White Drawings, Betsy Andersen’s Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement and Tadashi Nakamura’s Mele Murals. Other films focus on sonic art, like Michael Coleman and Emmanuel Moran’s The Art of Listening, and Patrick Shen’s In Pursuit of Silence.

“This year we got a lot of amazing films that are about art and about sound,” says Walker.

Other films at the festival deal with subcultures that may be particularly wary of how they’ll be represented on film, like Pedro Delbrey’s Santa Cruz-set Pussywillow Dirtbags, Kami Chisholm’s Pride Denied and Kurt Vincent’s The Lost Arcade.

I talked with the filmmakers behind five of these films to get a better understanding of how they dealt with the unique challenges that came with their chosen subjects.

‘LOVE BITE’ James Scott spends most of his working life editing other people’s

documentary films, and the ethics of how to fairly represent a film’s subject isn’t just a question, it’s the question.

“That’s what we think about every day, all day,” says Scott. “It’s such an ethical and moral responsibility to tell someone’s truest story.”

But when it came to his directorial debut Love Bite: Laurie Lipton and Her Disturbing Black and White Drawings, the question got more personal than he could have foreseen. Scott, a native Canadian who now lives in England, came across a book about Lipton’s work in a head shop in Winnipeg. The first drawing that appears in the film is the one that first magnetized him.

“I was gobsmacked,” he says.

“I don’t get moved emotionally or politically by many other artists.

But there’s something about what she’s doing that crosses all races, creeds and religions. To me, that’s something only the Old Masters were able to do.”

As he dug deeper into Lipton’s somewhat mysterious 50-year history of making art, he was shocked to find almost no information about her online, and over time the process of making the film became a personal crusade.

“I felt like it was an injustice that Damien Hirst is selling his polka dots for a million dollars, and here’s Laurie locked away in her room,” he says.

Ultimately, he spent four and a half years getting to know Lipton and documenting her story.

“In that time, Laurie and I built up quite a friendship,” he says. “That changes quite a lot, in terms of how much she was willing to tell me.”

iche filmmaking” is a term that’s been somewhat tainted by its overuse on the business side of the movie industry. Young filmmakers are now urged to not only find their niche, but even their “super-niche,” when considering how to market their talent—and find their talent a market.

Artistically, most of the best documentaries—perhaps all of them— can be considered niche filmmaking.

These films take people, places and things that may be little-known or even completely unknown in mainstream culture, and make a case for why an audience should spend 90 minutes or so getting to know and hopefully understand them.

But first, the filmmakers themselves have to spend far more time—weeks, months, even years—doing the same thing. And in that time, the filmmaking process can get awfully complicated.

As documentarian and subject bond, and sometimes become friends, the fact that in the end the filmmaker will be putting the subject’s story up on the big screen for the world to see can become significantly more nerve-wracking. Sure, the fact that they are telling the story in the first place might bank them some goodwill, but ultimately there is a very real possibility that a documentary subject may see his or her story very differently.

It was also the very last footage he shot for the film. “It took four and a half years for her to trust me enough to tell me that,” Scott says.

And it only added to Scott’s anxiety over what Lipton would think of how he represented her art and her very personal story. “It was a huge amount of pressure,” he says.

However, when Lipton saw the final version at a South By Southwest screening, Scott was able to breathe easy. “She’s happy,” he says, “and that makes me happy.”

‘THE LOST ARCADE’ Neither Kurt Vincent, director of The Lost Arcade, nor Irene Chin, the film’s producer, consider themselves gamers. But when they started making a documentary about Chinatown Fair, the last video game arcade in New York City, they got so into the minutiae of gaming subculture that it started to reshape the film itself—and not in a good way.

“We realized we were making a movie that would only connect with the people who shared our interest in these weird details,” says Vincent.

“Once we realized ‘this isn’t about the nuts and bolts of Street Fighter,’ that’s when our approach really started working.”

Instead, they went for a “more human and personal level,” says Vincent, and focused on what made people dedicate their lives to the subculture. As the interviews got more revealing, Vincent began to feel more and more protective of the interviewees.

“I spent many years making this movie, and I’m sure there were times when they were like, ‘Are we wasting our time trusting this guy with our secrets?’” he says.

“That was a specter hanging over the whole editing of the film. These people are real to me. They’re not just subjects. We got to know each other really well.”

Because of that, Vincent says he was “so nervous” at the New York screening of the film, and incredibly relieved when one of the key people in the story, Akuma Hokura, came up immediately afterward and gave him a big hug.

“He bared his soul to us,” says Vincent. “He gave us a piece of himself.”

There’s getting involved with your documentary subject, and then there’s getting involved with your documentary subject. Pedro Delbrey most definitely did the latter when he played for two seasons with the group of Santa Cruz baseballers whose stories he would go on to document in Pussywillow Dirtbags. The thing is, he didn’t actually know he’d end up making a movie about them.

“I didn’t start out with the intention of making a film,” says Delbrey.

At the time, he was finishing film school at UCSC, and looking for a project. The baseball games every Tuesday at Harvey West Park were just a way to blow off steam. In fact, when he first decided to make a film about them, even the guys he was playing with expressed disbelief. We understand why you’d want to make a baseball movie, they told him, but why us?

The reason, says Delbrey, is that he saw a universal appeal in their love of the game.

“The subject of baseball, the subject of nostalgia, reconnecting with childhood dreams, I think a lot of people can connect with that,” he says.

However, his closeness to his subjects did make the special screening he did for them at the Rio Theatre—before he showed it to other audiences—more harrowing.

“You get really close to these people, and they let you into their lives. Then you weave the story as you see it, and that may not be a valid representation in their eyes,” he says.

In the end, “I got their blessing, which made me feel a lot better,” says Delbrey. “But that said, I don’t think [the subject’s approval] is necessarily a prerequisite.”

SOUND MACHINIST Luthier Ian Schneller crafts a guitar in ‘The Art of Listening.’

‘THE ART OF LISTENING’ “People are giving you their time, but more than that, they’re giving you their voice,” says Emmanuel Moran, co-director of The Art of Listening. “That’s definitely a challenge in making documentaries.”

It’s an interesting way to put it, since The Art of Listening is actually about voice, and other types of sound. It’s an in-depth look at how we hear music, and the complexities of our relationship with it.

“So many times people take sound at face value, and they don’t really understand how it gets to us,” says co-director Michael Coleman. “But as a listener, you’re just as involved in the music creation process as the artist. We wanted to show the value of having a closer relationship with music.”

Coleman says that of some 200 interviews, only 45 were ultimately

used, and that he and Moran were “so careful and protective of the people in the film, and how we represented them.” In terms of winning their subjects’ trust, though, they had a leg up: they were often talking to audio engineers who are generally sought out for their understanding of sonic science, and not for their deep love of music.

“People don’t ask them about the emotional part of music,” says Moran. “But they’re some of the most passionate people in the music business.”

It also helped that both directors had a background in music production and could converse at a knowledgeable level with their interviewees, who were often just as interested in dispelling misconceptions about the music experience as Coleman and Moran are.

FABRiCE AND MilO SANTA CRuz

‘IN PURSUIT OF SILENCE’ In a way, the flip side of The Art of Listening is In Pursuit of Silence, which sent its filmmakers around the globe in pursuit of explaining the power of silence. They shot in eight countries, and went everywhere from the anechoic chamber at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis, said to be the quietest place on Earth, to Denali National Park in Alaska to the Urasenke Tea House in Kyoto, Japan, to Trappist and Zen monasteries. And though the highly meditative film—which the Austin Chronicle’s Wayne Alan Brenner compared to the groundbreaking Koyaanisquatsi, does feature interviews, the filmmakers felt they had to think about being true to their subject in a radical way.

“The main character in the film is silence,” says the film’s producer, Brandon Vedder. “What we had to do was try to understand the power of silence in our lives. A lot of people fall into this point of view that silence is the lack of something. But this is one of the more mystic and spiritual opportunities we have on a

daily basis. It’s a bedrock of life.”

To extend the metaphor further, the film’s villain could be said to be noise. “Noise pollution is only second to air pollution in terms of harmful effects on the human body,” he says. “It takes an incredible amount of energy to filter out all this unwanted noise.”

One aspect of the film that will undoubtedly intrigue many viewers is its opening examination of John Cage’s famous experimental piece “4’33,” which is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. The filmmakers were already working on In Pursuit of Silence when they discovered Cage’s controversial work, and set out to tell the story behind it.

“We realized that his journey from being known as this crazy noise musician to silence was a fascinating way to explore this,” says Vedder.

The final cut is what he describes as “a kaleidoscopic view on silence. The film is really, really experiential. It can be overwhelming to a certain extent. You can’t just be a passive observer.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

YWCA of Watsonville When Leticia Mendoza stepped into her role as Executive Director of the YWCA of Watsonville in 2009, she inherited a chunk of debt with no source of funds to repay it. The debt was in the form of a loan that the Watsonville chapter of the YWCA owed to Santa Cruz Community Credit Union for a failed project that would not be generating the hoped-for revenue that was once envisioned.

“All that SCCCU does to support nonprofit organizations, plus low-income families and small businesses inspired me,” says Mendoza. “In our case, the Credit Union restructured our loan by doubling the loan repayment period so it became a manageable expense.”

Eighty percent of the Watsonville YWCA’s work is to provide early education services. They operate at full capacity—96 preschool children—in one downtown location that is convenient for many working parents. This service is provided free of charge to low-income families,

The preschool center is open 225 days a year, and all sessions are 3.5 hours. Most parents need full-time child care, but are grateful to be one of the fortunate few to receive the benefits. The SCCCU has been able to be of special support because they receive grants for specific needs. In the case of the YWCA, the Credit Union had a grant for child care providers.

The YWCA of Watsonville also has an after-school teen program at Pajaro Middle School that addresses teen pregnancy prevention and provides education about gender norms. Most students are referred by counselors and teachers who identify at-risk students, and though the program is optional, it has grown to 40 girls per session. In fact, a number of girls who participated in the program when they were younger have returned as mentors.

As funding is limited, the program depends on volunteers, and these young women are important leaders.

The innovative teen program curriculum was introduced four years ago via a

partnership with a Washington DC-based nonprofit, TrueChild. Their staff trained the local staff at the YWCA to integrate both curricula—teen pregnancy and gender norm education.

All local YWCA chapters are required to be a member of the national YWCA. A key mission is to eliminate racism and empower women, though each chapter offers different services, depending on the needs of the community. Some focus on shelters; others primarily serve veterans; and others offer tech education for girls.

Mendoza explains that some services aren’t needed in Watsonville because the role is filled by other nonprofit organizations.

“We aren’t here to compete with other nonprofits,” said Mendoza. “We are here to fill needed services and to collaborate with other agencies to enhance services we provide. We see the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union as a partner in the work we do.”

YWCA USA Mission Statement: The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

<30 when Gasch saw a band perform at Tomboy during a First Friday event.

“I thought, ‘They should make a video here,’” says Gasch. “Then I thought, ‘No, we should make videos here.’”

Tomboy is a natural video set.

The shop curation is impeccable and the merchandise is the envy of any detail-obsessed American roots enthusiast. In the corner, a few steps from vintage T-shirts, handmade soaps and meticulously folded bandanas just waiting to be put in a back pocket is a wall of perfectly aligned retro photographs by local artist Tommy Brisley that provide the backdrop for the shoot.

To bring the project to life, Gasch teamed up with several top-tier local companies, including Universal Audio, Santa Cruz Guitar Company, Sylvan Music, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, Gadgetbox, Seafoam Films, and Tomboy. The team will produce nine videos over the next year, showcasing touring acts as well as standout local artists. They have a wishlist of potential bands, but have not yet released any names beyond Brothers Comatose. The hope is that the project will eventually draw bands to Santa Cruz.

If all goes well, the team would like to see the Tomboy Sessions take off in the way that Jam in the Van, the Gondola Sessions, and other popup style video projects have—but with a focus on roots music.

“When I think of a genre, I would say ‘handcrafted music,’” says Gasch, explaining that the styles will range from Americana and bluegrass to folk, country, honky tonk, altcountry and beyond. “It’s related to roots music, but it doesn’t have to be traditional. I like when bands bring in new ideas.”

For Gasch, this is just another chapter in his unlikely story. A

6-foot-something cowboy with a charming and magnetic personality, he is all-in on Western culture.

His style of dress, what he listens to, what he plays, and his friendly demeanor capture the best of the Old West. But the fact is, Gasch grew up in Germany where, apparently, there’s a great appreciation of country and rockabilly music. He first discovered country music at the age of 12, and he hasn’t looked back.

“I like to dance to it,” says Gasch.

“I wouldn’t call myself a dancer, but I like to dance. I like the melody and simplicity in this music. With the lyrics, it can be so powerful, without too many things that aren’t necessary.”

The Brothers Comatose’s first Tomboy Sessions song is “The Way the West Was Won.” They’re playing it at a hellhound-on-my-trail pace, accented by yips and yeahs.

The song showcases the no-frills brilliance of the band, with smooth and lonesome vocals, shredding fiddle, banjo and mandolin, and the thump of an upright bass. The band’s warm, four-part harmonies rise up and bounce around Tomboy’s raw wood rafters.

Watching the band and the video shoot, one gets the distinct impression that Santa Cruz is on the verge of blowing up as a roots music hotbed and that the Tomboy Sessions, along with Gasch’s monthly Western Wednesday gigs at the Crepe Place, will be an anchor for the scene. Gasch would like nothing more than to continue contributing to the local music community.

“I’m really excited being part of the music scene in Santa Cruz,” he says. “Even though it’s a small city, we have something really good going on. I’m excited to be part of building something here.”

LITERATURE consistently chose to do what was most humane, just and courageous.

He had an uncommon sense of self. Alongside that, he was good company. He had a talent for friendship. He liked a drink. There’s a temptation to “read back” from later work and assume that the man himself was as austere and challenging and dark as the work.

That’s in him, but that’s not the sum of him. Also, his early work went barely noticed. He dragged around this sense of failure and got on with things. I recognized that.

How did you re-imagine Beckett’s voice and ideas in the context of known facts?

I used the prose, plays and poems, along with biographical information and the collected letters. My notion was to extrapolate from what he himself wrote, said, or experienced.

Everything had to be potential, justifiable, not just my decision, but something that had emerged from what I knew about him. Also, I don’t name him. Unnamed, he seemed to be much more accessible.

What did Beckett’s life add to your sense of occupied Europe?

BEND IT LIKE BECKETT Jo Baker brings her historical fiction about Samuel Beckett, ‘ A Country Road, A Tree’ to

Bookshop Santa Cruz on Thursday, May 26.

Sam Dance

J

o Baker seems to relish finding uncommon roads through common territory.

She’s perhaps most recognized for her novel Longbourn, which turns Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice upside down, following the servants who work for Elizabeth Bennet and her family.

Baker’s new novel, A Country Road, A Tree, follows avant-garde novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett into France during the Nazis’ rise to power, where he befriends James Joyce, works for the French Resistance, narrowly escapes the Gestapo, and emerges to become one of the most

influential writers of the 20th century.

While prepping for her reading at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Thursday, May 26, Baker talked to GT about her new book.

How did you get the idea for A Country Road, A Tree?

JO BAKER: I studied Beckett at the Queen’s University of Belfast; I’d been fascinated by his persecuted, battered characters and the strange, hostile landscape they existed in. My tutor mentioned that Beckett had been stuck in France during the war, and had had to go into hiding. It was like a light bulb going on—a modern

light bulb, the kind that takes a while to warm up. That was 20 years ago.

Then, maybe 15 years later, kids in tow, we were travelling to the South of France by train, and I realized we were following the same route that Beckett had taken when fleeing south to the Zone Libre. The sense of place, and of movement, connected with that old thought about Beckett’s characters and their world. That’s when it began to seem like a possible story.

What did you find compelling about Beckett as a character?

His moral courage. Faced with a series of impossible choices, he

It’s risky to write about people and events that readers already know. What attracts you to this approach?

As a novelist, I’m trying to tell a good story, but I’m also working out questions or niggles about another writer’s work. I try to be as thorough as possible with the research, and to use that research with a kind of imaginative honesty. If I manage that, then I can look myself in the eye.

Jo Baker will read from and discuss ‘A Country Road, A Tree’ at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 26 at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

Jo Baker’s new novel follows Samuel Beckett through Europe during World War II BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

His war is on a very human level— struggling along with refugees, scraping by. But he is very much the outsider in this world; apolitical, peripheral. This is not his country, he is beyond the locked-antlers struggles of nationalism. That, I think, makes the story unique. That, and the fact that he would go on to write, after the war, the work that would win him the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Live-wire duo Rodrigo y Gabriela rock hard and school their fans—literally—on new record BY KATIE SMALL

I

s it possible to channel the spirit of flamenco guitarist Carlos Montoya and Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, while dancing to your own groove? Rodrigo Sanchez manages to do just that.

Traces of his early love affair with thrash metal are evident in the nuevo flamenco he performs as one half of Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.

“I used to listen to classic rock: the Beatles, Led Zep, Black Sabbath,” says Sanchez. “Then one day in high school my older brother came up with a copy of Metallica’s Master of Puppets and opened up a whole new world to me.”

Known for their unique blend of heavy metal with traditional

Latin guitar and percussive rumba elements, the pair has played Santa Cruz before, back when they used to stay seated during shows. Now they perform their entire set standing, weaving a rich tapestry of sound at mesmerizing speeds. Rodrigo y Gabriela maintain a magnetic chemistry, somehow managing to pull off well-timed dance moves to match their incredible finger pyrotechnics. The nimble guitarists create furious crescendos that blaze through intricate melodies.

Rodrigo and Gabriela Quintero met through their mutual involvement in Mexico City’s underground metal scene in the ’90s. Rejection from

music school led them to Dublin in 1999, where they moved to “avoid doing the obvious thing—to get out of our comfort zone,” Sanchez recalls. “We knew nothing about Ireland. A friend mentioned that it was a good place for musicians, but that was all we had to go on.”

Broke and speaking little English, the pair took up busking, which would help shape their unique sound: “Obviously using acoustic guitars rather than electric is a big part of our sound … playing on the street without amplification meant that the style we played was very rhythmic, percussive and full of energy,” Sanchez says.

Their eight years in Dublin resulted in lasting friendships with Irish musicians Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan and Mundy (a.k.a Edmond Enright), and opened many doors for the duo. Over the next decade, Rodrigo y Gabriela would go on to release five studio albums, three live albums and one EP, in addition to performing for President Obama at the White House and working with composer Hans Zimmer on the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks.

Each track on their most recent album, 9 Dead Alive, is dedicated to a significant historical figure, with special attention paid to “themes and causes that are close to our hearts,” Sanchez explains. “I think we are in a position of privilege. We have a global audience who may have discovered us from TV, or the movies, and they might not know about our musical influences, or the historical figures who we think made a difference to the world. If someone listens to Astor Piazzolla or is inspired to find out more about Harriet Tubman and her incredible life, then this can only be a good thing.”

The album’s final track is dedicated to animals and the natural world— Quintero has been a vegan for most of her life, while Sanchez gave up animal products 10 years ago. “For both of us, the vegan lifestyle and animal rights are a huge issue,” he says.

When she’s not touring, Quintero runs a vegan Co-Op in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, where she offers cooking demonstrations to teach the local community about a cruelty-free lifestyle. “The aim is to show that veganism can be accessible to all,” Sanchez says.

The tremendous amount of concentration required for their live performances are yet another demonstration of the high standards and dedication that permeate Rodrigo y Gabriela’s daily lives. Post-show rituals include plunging their arms into vats of ice water, which they’ve found essential to avoiding injury.

“The show is intense,” Rodrigo says. “It definitely takes a toll on our bodies.”

SNAKES ALIVE! Do you know how snakes see, smell, taste, and hear? The slithery creatures don’t have to be scary—in fact when they’re babies, they’re really slow and look pretty goofy—their heads can even look like a puppy’s, sort of. On Saturday, May 28, Big Basin State Park docent Diane Shaw will answer many of the questions about snakes that we never thought to ask: What do their scales feel like? Where do they fit into our ecosystem? Can they feel love?

What do they dream about? You know, the usual questions.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

MISS LONELY HEARTS The Northern California country scene is a small, tight-knit group of individuals, and in the past five years, locals Miss Lonely Hearts have been among its biggest boosters. Now on the cusp of releasing their fourth album, Lost Highway, they’ve not only expanded their own audience, but have also worked hard to bring in touring country acts from outside the state. Not the big, polished country radio bands, but the ones putting out real, raw country.

MAY 25-31, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Current modern country is so abysmal.

It’s closer to Janet Jackson than it is to Alan Jackson,” says frontman Wyatt Hesemeyer. “In Oregon and Washington, there’s more reception for country music, but California is pretty dry. We’ve been doing our best to make events where people can see that country music is fun and worth going out to.”

46

Miss Lonely Hearts’ latest record clearly demonstrates both their love for traditional, honky-tonk-influenced country, and their unique take on the music. Their first three records focused on original music, but this one is all covers, as they wanted to document the classics they’ve been playing at shows since their formation. That includes songs by Merle Travis, Johnny Cash, George Jones, and even a countrified version of Judas Priest’s “Breaking The Law.” They don’t just play these songs straight up, but give the music, like their own original country tunes, a darker tone.

“We’ve really tried to bring out a lot of the darkness of these old songs,” Hesemeyer says. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, May 27. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135

CAROLYN SILLS COMBO

WEDNESDAY 5/25 ROCK

LA CERCA A Tucson, Arizona-based rock ’n’ roll outfit, La Cerca pulls in elements of ’90s-era indie rock, lo-fi soul, classic rock and jazz to make something that sounds like it was created during a time when Pavement, Built to Spill and Sonic Youth were the reigning tastemakers. With distorted guitars, melodic and sweet vocals, and catchy hooks, these guys are a throwback to all that was good about the alt-rock underground. Their 2014 album, Sunrise for Everyone, which was recorded in Tucson’s famed Waterworks Studios has been called the band’s “grand statement and masterpiece.” CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 5/26 FUSION

TODD MOSBY Described as a genre-defying guitarist, composer and improviser, Todd Mosby blends jazz, bluegrass, folk and the clas-

sical music of North India into an otherworldly sound. A virtuoso artist, Mosby plays the Imrat guitar, a 20-stringed hybrid of the guitar and sitar, and is the only guitarist to be included in the famed Imdad Khani Gharana, India’s royal family of ustadt sitar dating back 500 years. Mosby’s New Horizons Ensemble comprises Grammy-nominated fretless bassist Michael Manring, celebrated multi-instrumentalist Premik Russell Tubbs, and Grammy-winning percussionist Jeff Haynes. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $12/adv, $15/door. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 5/27 SOUL

SOUL TRACK MIND Donovan Keith was a clean slate when he arrived in Austin in 2008. Up to that point, he’d never fronted a band, and couldn’t play an instrument. But in no time, he and a group of musicians he’d met were the hottest soul revivalists in the city. Rather than going for sweet soulful ballads or funky dance jams, they harken back to the hard-edged,

horn-driven R&B sound, mixing in just a dash of blues, funk and pop while they’re at it. It’s catchy and accessible for folks who are keen on ’60s R&B, but don’t like to dig through crates. They’re like the Black Keys version of classic soul music. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Pocket, 3102 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz. $10. 475-9819.

REGGAE

STEPHEN “RAGGA” MARLEY Bob Marley had a lot of kids. Ziggy has been the most visible, but there are several other talented Marleys out there. Stephen “Ragga” Marley certainly deserves the attention he’s been getting. Son of Bob and Rita Marley, he’s racked up several Grammy awards, and his special skill is something he didn’t get from his father—he’s a ragamuffin master. For years, Stephen had been involved with other Marley projects, but it wasn’t until 2007 that he released his own solo record, Mind Control, and it rightfully soared to the top of the reggae charts.

But in the hands of John Kaizan Neptune, the ancient instrument takes on countless new identities. Born in Oakland and now based in Japan, he’s become one of the world’s most respected shakuhachi

MONDAY 5/30 REGGAE

GONDWANA Featuring nine musicians, it’s no wonder Chilean reggae artists Gondwana named their band after an ancient, pre-Pangea supercontinent. For almost 30 years, the group has embraced a strong path of peace and love, spreading the word of Jah through a mixture of Latin and reggae melodies. Not only will they get the crowd dancing, but their message of love is sure to fill plenty of hearts. MW INFO: 9 pm. Moe’s Alley. 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

Local powerhouse Carolyn Sills is the real deal of throwback country music.

She has enough soul, heart, style, and swag to convince audiences and listeners that they may have been transported to an era where country swing ruled the waves, juke joints were the place to be, and heartache had a kick like a mule. On Friday, Sills and her combo of ace musicians drop their new album, Dime Stories Vol. 2, a record packed from start to finish with all the lonesome wails, tongue-in-cheek humor, and late-night reflection you’d expect from a classic country gem.

It doesn’t matter who’s backing him, Wakeling brings the infectious ska dance party spirit of English Beat’s phenomenal three albums to life on stage.

FILM

HOW NOT TO PAINT Tom Hiddleston in Ben Wheatley’s ‘High-Rise,’ adapted from the 1975 novel by J. G. Ballard.

Building Blocks MAY 25-31, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Class warfare runs amok in ‘High-Rise’ BY LISA JENSEN

52

R

umor has it that Tom Hiddleston will be the next James Bond. Too bad, in a way—Hiddleston is far too interesting and versatile an actor to be trapped in such a one-dimensional role. (Although, I was impressed at how Daniel Craig managed to revitalize the part, and the franchise.) But if Hiddleston does step into Bond’s Aston Martin, he probably won’t make too many more bizarro movies like High-Rise.

Not exactly another (dreary) dystopian future story, High-Rise is an allegory of class warfare set within a 40-story apartment building in a bleak London subdivision. Separated from its

neighborhood by acres of parking lot and an expressway, the building’s community of residents has evolved organically—the rich at the top, the working class on the bottom.

And with no outside interference, the community becomes a law unto itself: the law of the jungle, it turns out, as soon as things start to go wrong, from the ground up.

Director Ben Wheatley and scriptwriter Amy Jump adapted the story from a 1975 novel by J. G. Ballard, an author known for his experimental science fiction.

Filmmaking team Wheatley and Jump adopt Ballard’s time period: the men sport unfortunate sideparted flips and bad moustaches, the

women clomp around in platform pumps, and everyone smokes incessantly. Technology consists of shoulder-braced videocams and piano-key tape recorders, with nary a smart phone nor laptop in sight.

The film is set squarely at the dawn of the Thatcher era in Britain, as the divide between the haves and havenots begins to widen.

Into this peculiar world steps Dr. Richard Laing (Hiddleston), who moves into a slick concrete, stone and steel apartment on an upper floor of the high-rise. Quiet and reserved (when not gleefully peeling the skin off the head of a corpse to expose its skull to his students), Laing gamely tries to “fit into his

slot” in the community.

He’s befriended by sexy Charlotte (Sienna Miller), who lives on the floor above, and Wilder (Luke Evans, in possibly the movie’s worst haircut). A would-be documentary filmmaker, Wilder is a rabble-rouser who lives on a lower floor with his sweet, enormously pregnant wife, Helen (Elisabeth Moss) and their kids; when the swimming pool mid-level is closed to them, Wilder leads an army of kids from the lower floors to occupy it.

Soon, Laing is also befriended by the architect of the building, Mr. Royal (Jeremy Irons). At the top of the heap, Royal’s plush penthouse suite includes a rooftop garden the size of a football field, complete with sheep, and the white horse belonging to his wife, (Sienna Guillory). Laing and Royal start playing squash together, and from his unique perspective, moving among the lower and higher orders, Laing realizes that the entire complex is some sort of weird psychology experiment.

We do, too. Which is not such a bad thing, but the middle of the movie devolves into a lot of richvs.-poor clichés (the rich discuss “Balkanizing” the lower and central floors to play them against each other). And as crises like malfunctioning trash chutes, power outages, and spoiling food at the in-house grocery start to affect all levels, relentless, primal violence and candlelit orgies ensue. (All the incidental naked bodies remind us of movies actually made in the post-code ’70s, when filmmakers showed lots of nudity just because they could.)

It would be one thing if Laing’s discoveries led him to some sort of action. But he’s happy to embrace the “weird hierarchy” of the status quo; he does, belatedly, draw the line, but otherwise abstains from moral judgment, and sleeps with whichever women make themselves available to him. We all devolve into our worst selves, if given half a chance, the movie argues, but the viewer is not quite invested enough in any of these characters to find this tragic.

HIGH-RISE **1/2 With Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and Elisabeth Moss. Written by Amy Jump. Directed by Ben Wheatley. Rated R. 119 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Oh gee, a free-thinking woman who’s been diagnosed with “female hysteria” for defying the societal standards of her time—where have we heard this before? Lewis Carroll was so before his time, and in this adaptation Alice seeks not only to save her friends, but finds herself in a battle against Time himself. Helena Bonham Carter looks smashing, as always, and Sacha Baron Cohen plays Time. While it might be mildly terrifying for children, and Tim Burton isn’t directing this one, for a colorful fantasy and fantastic story, how could you stay away? James Bobin directs.

Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp costar. (PG) 113 minutes.

MAY 25-31, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE LOBSTER The first thing that Colin Farrell hears upon arriving at the the City is,“If you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here, you’ll turn into an animal.” It’s not a joke.

Who knew someone could so expertly and macabrely reinvent the romantic comedy? It’s been called the year’s most original movie, and with Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz, John C.Reilly and Léa Seydoux as players in this notso-distant dystopian future—where singles are given only 45 days to fall in love, or are turned into animals—that sounds about right. Yorgos Lanthimos directs. Jessica Barden co-stars. (R) 118 minutes.

54

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP “How jolly, tiny green balls—what are they called?”

“Peas.” Oh, Jane Austen, this is going to be fun. Whit Stillman directs. Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, and Xavier Samuel co-star. (PG) 92 minutes.

X-MEN: THE APOCALYPSE Finally, James McAvoy goes bald. Oh, and literally everyone else is in this movie, too. Those special effects do look pretty cool, but 144 minutes? Comicbook movies these days should come with intermissions. Bryan Singer directs. Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence co-star. (PG-13) 144 minutes.

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.

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 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.

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

NOW PLAYING

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

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

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to

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 Johansson 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 costar. 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 under-the-radarflicks very much worth Netflixing), this terrifying thriller looks like something that even a scaredy cat film blurb writer might sit through. Add Patrick Stewart to the mix in a very twisted punk rock tale about maniacal skinheads and you might just get something terrifyingly good. Jeremy Saulnier directs. (R) 95 minutes.

HIGH-RISE Reviewed this issue (R) 119 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 costar. (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.

Lunching at Hula’s new sidewalk lanai BY CHRISTINA WATERS

56

L

unchtime at the new sidewalk lanai at Hula’s Island Grill and Tiki Room made us feel like pampered tourists who’d found the exact right spot on a beautiful day to slide into the heart of downtown Santa Cruz. Here’s where you take those out-of-town guests with adventurous appetites and a yen to be in the middle of the action. Hula’s new parklet—a handsome bit of wood and stainless steel cabinetry corralling five tables, designed by Chris Delaney— brings a touch of holiday ambience into a vivacious corridor of Cathcart Street. From where we sat, we could watch the Wednesday farmers market

folks setting up their stalls while enjoying the mixed sun and shade (thanks to large canvas umbrellas). I like the sun. Jack craves shade. So we both basked in our favored climate, sipping excellent jasmine iced tea and a high-spirited ginger beer from Cock’n Bull.

Taking up the space formerly devoted to two parking spaces (hence the “parklet” nickname), the little open-air seating area boasts five wooden tables for four, set with tangerine chairs and a happy bouquet of fresh flowers (pink pelargoniums and ranunculus). The entire mood is tropical, a dining

spot in the key of coastal resort.

Open only a few weeks, it feels like it’s always been a part of a tasty neighborhood that includes Lúpulo, 515, Logos, Kianti’s, and Assembly.

So what did we have to eat? Well Jack couldn’t get past the Ahi Katsu Tacos ($13) which arrived on a rainforest-green platter. On either side of the warm soft tacos were a mound of addictive rice topped with sumptuous black beans, and a little vat of molten salsa companioned by a wedge of fresh lime. Laid across the two tacos were long slabs of pink panko-crusted ahi, topped with cilantro and underscored by fresh

slaw. Big flavors. Big fun.

Meanwhile on my side of the table sat a brilliant blue bowl of Spicy Thai Chicken ($13). Generously packed with rice, more of the crunchy cabbage slaw, and the delicious simmered black beans, my order was topped with fat fingers of succulent chicken breast and several sweet sensuous plantain fritters in turn lavishly sauced with a Thai coconut sauce. That sauce was exactly the right shade of spicy for my taste.

Hot, but not palate-numbing hot.

A perfect avocado fanned out over the sauce and I could not stop eating. Despite all my efforts, there was still enough chicken, rice and beans left—after I had pigged out in a semi-ladylike way—to form a huge dinner later that night. And yes, the ginger beer was the perfect ally for the spicy chicken bowl, especially with those faux bamboo straws. I could eat that lunch all over again right now. Even the idea of serving tropically-inspired foods in Fiestaware makes poetic sense.

Fiestaware for fiesta food. If you get here at 11:30 a.m. you can count on scoring a table on the new lanai and watching the sunshine, clouds and locals glide by. Let’s just say that we were charmed by our lunch hour at Hula’s and plan to work our way through the dazzling tropical menu all summer long. After all, they’ve got a whole gluten-free dinner menu (and a vegan one too), as well as plenty of meaty dishes, all with serious flavor power. Oh, and there are plenty of tiki cocktails to help you into even deeper resort consciousness. Hula’s Island Grill, 221 Cathcart St., Santa Cruz; open 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. hulastiki.com.

WINE OF THE WEEK

An elegant, full-throated Meursault 2013 from Rodolphe Demougeot knocked us out at Soif last week ($21).

Gorgeously flinty, full of peaches and salty minerals, this showpiece white Burgundy (Chardonnay) made magic with an exceptional appetizer of red chicory, avocado, clementines, and a nutty, earthy sesame vinaigrette ($12). While savoring the fine wine and menu of Mark Denham, we learned that Soif’s much-anticipated full bar will very likely be open by next month.

Pour Taproom

Be your own bartender at new Santa Cruz spot BY AARON CARNES

Y

ogurtland built an empire out of the simple fact that people want to serve themselves exactly what they want. So when is a bar going to apply that model to beer?

How about now? Pour Taproom, which opens on Saturday, May 21, in Santa Cruz, will do exactly that. Pour will have 60-plus beers and eight wines on tap (and craft root beer for kids). Plus, they’ll be serving excellent food to go with them. GT spoke with co-owner/ operator Christopher Jonathan Reno, who explained the seemingly sci-fi process and the best way to enjoy selfservice beer.

Why would someone want to pour their own drinks?

also $3 Pints & $10 Pitchers of any West End Brew (bar area only)

CHRISTOPHER JONATHAN RENO:

fantasized about pouring their own

2.01w x 2.26 h beers. I have. It’s not just filling up a whole glass. It’s pour as much as you

like, as little as you like. If you want to just grab a couple drops, you can.

If you’re absolutely repulsed by a beer, you don’t have to sit there and keep drinking it. The whole thing is predicated on tasting, just testing quality over slamming quantity. You get a chance to try a bunch of beers you wouldn’t normally be able to sample in a small scale.

Should people mix flavors like they do at 7-11 with their sodas?

I’ve done that before, and it’s a blast, where you can throw several different flavors in. I’d be interested in seeing what an Old Rasputin with a dash of Framboise [wild raspberry Belgian beer] would taste like. That would be really fun. It lets you do things you can’t do at a traditional bar.

How does the whole process work?

Once you walk in, you hand over your vitals. What your ID does is it allows us to scan the bracelet. Once you have that on you, it basically gives you access to be able to taste 32 ounces.

Once it hits that 32-ounce limit, you come check back in. It’s a freerange tasting thing where you don’t have people running around the hall drinking three gallons of beer. Once you have your bracelet, you go up to the wall. Each beverage has a screen above it with the beer, the style, the specs, and the taste profile. There’s a little Pour Taproom logo burned in on the screen frame. That activates the tap handle. It logs how many ounces you’ve poured, of which beer. At the end of the evening it’ll show exactly everything you’ve had to drink.

Pour Taproom is at 110 Cooper St., Santa Cruz. 566-4948.

GRAPE CRUSADER Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard’s Jeff Emery mines layers of

complexity from Pierce Ranch’s Petite Sirah grapes.

Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard A Petite Sirah full of bold fruit and exotic spice BY JOSIE COWDEN

F

riends had told us about the new lighting in the Seacliff Inn in Aptos, so we decided to check it out. Local lighting artist Roy Johnson has done an incredible job, virtually transforming the bar and grill into a luminous wonderland.

His circular display of fish in a sea of kelp is stunning.

And what better way to experience the new lighting than to head to Severino’s, the hotel’s restaurant, for dinner? Customers have the option of dining outside on a heated patio, where the garden and koi pond provide a lovely setting of peace and calm.

Severino’s wine selection includes several good local bottles. We chose a Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard Petite Sirah 2012, one of winemaker Jeff Emery’s full-bodied creations.

As a general rule, white wine pairs well with fish, but when I saw Emery’s Petite Sirah on the wine list, I simply had to have it with our calamari appetizer and my halibut special. My husband had ribs—a perfect partnership with the spicy Sirah, full of big flavors and bold fruit.

Emery sources his grapes from San Antonio Valley’s Pierce Ranch in Monterey County and turns them into a well-made Petite Sirah ($19.75) with “many layers of complexity including deep bush berries, exotic spices and hints of black pepper.” It’s not surprising, then, that the wine was awarded 90 points by Wine Enthusiast magazine.

“We suggest giving it some time in a decanter to wake up everything lurking inside,” says Emery. “Or cellar it for a few more years.”

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

In the past weeks you considered what was important to you. What was special, of value, and your monetary situation. These are important considerations. You might have asked how much am I worth and/or is what I’m doing worth it? You realized what would make you more comfortable, what to do with your cash (where to put it), and perhaps you researched gold and silver. If not, do so. Values and worth were your keynotes.

Let all things secret come to light in your relationship.

Let all your wealth be spread abroad. Let your gifts come forth, let them be shared with all who love you. Let anything that hinders your flow of love be eliminated. Let everything be forgiven. Forgiveness leads to the beginnings of understanding. Ask lots of questions. Listen deeply. Let the joy of others’ gifts wash over you.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You thought and re-thought on how to approach the world, the new world of new ideas. How to bring forth all that you’re worth in order to create changes in living, location, geography, purpose, and way of life. You are the sign of the Art of Living. So where and how you live is important, because people watch you, mentor you, imitate you. Something of great value hasn’t emerged from you yet. It will soon. It’s brilliant!

It seems everything came into renegotiation these last weeks. What you thought you wanted and needed wasn’t. What you thought was important and what you valued turned out to be different. There were things unspoken, hidden, unknown. Things will continue to change for you over the next months. You are continuing to clear your path and forge ahead. Read The Labours of Hercules (by Alice Bailey). Every labor. Find yours.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

The Mercury retro invited you to retreat into yourself, to be contemplative, to become a Pisces actually. Pisces and Gemini have a lot in common. Only these two signs are able to synthesize polarities and dualities. Dualities that you bring forth is the task of Gemini, always. Did you feel alone these last weeks? Did you receive messages? Did you dream?

Spirit and Venus were with you. Create an altar.

Everything about work was, has been, and continues to be re-organized. Even your daily life seems to be without an agenda. You reflect upon previous relationships and previous work situations. Sorting out what was good, what was valuable? All schedules have gone by the wayside. You’re called to be completely intuitive, flexible, discerning, and unpredictable. In the meantime, in all the changes, care for your health first.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Did you withdraw a bit from your usual social situations? When we are away from our usual habits, something unusual happens to us. We discover that we have an inner life and rediscover who we truly are. It’s important during the retrogrades to focus upon hopes, wishes and dreams. Even if you don’t yet know, ask each night before sleep. As the retrogrades ease, it will be time to reconnect and be with friends again.

Your creative energy was in a state of rest for a while.

This seeming withdrawal was quiet. It was to create a new underlying state of the arts, creativity, and inspiration. What are you imagining now, what is inspiring you? Galleries, art magazines, dance, music, these reconnect you to spontaneity, playfulness and curiosity. Keywords: recapture, reanimate, restore what love kindled.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

The past weeks gave you an opportunity to tend to previous tasks, old business, to bring closure to work no longer relevant. A question for you: Are you happy with your work, your career, or with what you do each day? Do you know what you hope to achieve? Have you thought of this before?

Tend to the world of work with renewed vitality, a new vision and orientation. The world needs you at this time.

You are very aware of how home is our hideaway, refuge, shelter, our sangha, the sanctuary we retreat to. What is the quality of your home? So many of us don’t yet have one. Or we’ve lost our home. Home is our childhood, our past, our foundation, the roots that grew our values and established our character. Be grateful for all that has been given to you. As you grow in gratitude, things needed are offered you.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 25, 2016

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The question posed to you these past weeks has to do with adventures. Have you had any recently? You’re due for a double shot of the world expanding all around you.

A new sense of identity, too. It’s important to consider where you might want to travel in the near future, what you would like to study, and what cultures are of interest. Your mind needs new information so that the hidden parts of you can come to life.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You are beginning a new phase soon. Now you are in the transitional phase. In all transitions, Libra comes into our lives. Libra whispers to us, “Maintain balance, be poised. Be graceful, dignified and self-confident.

Remain calm. Simply prepare. You are to “triumph wherever you find yourself.” Don’t hover, perch, hang, float or suspend your life. Just wait patiently.

With Mercury now moving forward we begin a new three-month cycle of information gathering. The purpose of Mercury retrograde is to help us organize information received previously, thus preparing our minds for new information in the upcoming months. We were to review, then cast away thoughts and ideas no longer needed. Not utilizing the retrograde in this way, we can have difficulty integrating new information and revelations offered before the next Mercury retrograde occurs. Mercury next retrogrades Aug. 30–Sept. 22 (in Virgo). And again Dec. 19 into the new year (in Capricorn), so that 2017 begins in a Mercury retrograde.

As of this writing, Mars, Saturn, Pluto, and Juno remain retrograde. Soon Neptune, too.

We are therefore still experiencing an inner reflective focus and many of us feel exhausted.

Mars retro makes Aries and Scorpio unusually

tired. With Saturn and Pluto retro, Capricorn, too is affected. We don’t push the river. We stand deep in the river of reflection instead.

Saturday, Jupiter (in Virgo) squares Saturn (in Sag).

Jupiter direct, Saturn retrograde. Jupiter expands us, Saturn holds back. They’re social planets, affecting our being out and about in the world. We seek expansive change and encounter hindrances everywhere. It’s not time yet. Their interchange? Saturn creating structures (we can’t see yet) to express love and wisdom (Jupiter). They’re mutable signs, telling us to adapt and observe more, make adjustments to old beliefs, and to know all is well. Even the vicissitudes. They have purpose. Here is a statement from a great teacher to a student: “Be simple, clear as day, accepting and full of love.”

These get us through the retrogrades all the time.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the racks of ribs in half crosswise. Rub the ribs, paying special attention to the meaty side, with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Lay Red Diamond the rib pieces meat side down in an 11 by 13-inch Mysterious Red baking dish. The pieces will overlap slightly.

Reg 13.99 Best price anywhere 6.99

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the meat begins to pull away from the ends of the bones and the ribs are just tender, about 1 hour. You can bake the ribs up to a day before and keep them refrigerated. Bring refrigerated ribs to room temperature about 1 hour before you grill them.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the ribs, brushing them with about half the remaining sauce, until they’re crispy and heated through, about 10 minutes. Move the ribs around as they grill, the sugar in barbecue sauce makes it easy for them to burn. Let the ribs rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting them into 1 or 2-bone pieces. Put out the rest of the sauce for dipping or brush it over the ribs Red Diamond Mysterious Red The wine is exuberant, hearty and lush with aromas of warm cinnamon, clove and barrel spice and an undercurrent of black cherry and blueberry. The palate is ripe, round and mouth-coating, flavors reflect the aroma profile, black cherry, black plum and baking spice. There is a fair bit of American oak influence and a velvety mouth-feel.

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.”
