OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Pride was first celebrated in Santa Cruz in 1974. It wasn’t exactly an era of tolerance and enlightenment— psychiatrists had just barely stopped classifying homosexuality as a mental illness. That same year, nationally syndicated liberal columnist Mike Royko compared the notion of gay rights to that of men “in love with monkeys” trying to gain social acceptance.

But the organizers of the first Santa Cruz Pride knew there wasn’t time to wait for the rest of society to catch up—and for those who will bring Pride back to Santa Cruz on Sunday, there still isn’t. Despite the progress made over the last four decades, 2016 unfortunately isn’t what the LGBTQ community of 1974 hoped it would be. Some of the issues now are the same, while others they

REMEMBERING NANCY RANEY

4

My wife, Nancy Raney, died on April 19, 2016, but she lives on in the memories of everyone who knew her. I’d like to share my memories of what a gutsy traveler she was.

Years ago, Nancy flew out of San Francisco to Beijing, then took a train to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She arrived at the empty train depot in the middle of the night, and slept on a bench, alone. The next morning, she tried to ask a stranger about the next train to Moscow, only to discover there were no trains leaving for Moscow. But she managed to find a taxi driver to take her to the American Embassy—surely the only American woman ever to show up there by herself. The next day, Nancy found another taxi driver to drive her around to see the sights of Mongolia’s capital city.

Before Nancy left San Francisco, we had decided she would call me from Irkutsk, in what was then the Soviet Union. When I didn’t hear from her, I found someone at UCSC who spoke Russian and took pity on me; we placed an expensive long-distance phone call to one of the Russian embassies, where nobody had ever

probably never imagined.

Now, as then, the people on the forefront of positive change in the LGBTQ community are those forging new solutions to the complex problems they encounter in their everyday lives.

In our cover story this week, Anne-Marie Harrison writes about how married people who come out as transgender or lesbian or gay are navigating the impact it could have on their families. In going deeper than the mainstream news cycle, with its simplistic hand-wringing over whether gay marriage is up or down in the polls, Harrison’s story destroys the very notion of how we conceptualize “gay marriage”—or “straight marriage,” for that matter. Some of the ideas may seem a bit mind-bending now—like, can a couple still identify as lesbian if one of the partners comes out as a transgender man? But guess what: just as in 1974, these people can’t wait for the rest of society to catch up with them, either. Here’s to them, and Happy Pride Weekend!

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

heard of a Nancy Raney. But the next day, my phone rang, and there was my Nancy on the line.

Someone in a hotel in Irkutsk had left a message for Nancy to call me—an expensive call for which we were never charged. Nancy told me she’d met some Russian tourists and that she was having a wonderful time.

Soon, she was on her way to Moscow at last, on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. When she called me a week or so later, from Moscow, she was staying in a gigantic hotel near Red Square, overlooking the onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral. I told her I wished I was there with her, and she told me to stop worrying. From Moscow, she took another train to St. Petersburg, to fulfill her dream of going to the Hermitage Museum, and to see a performance by the Kirov Ballet.

Nancy and I visited England, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, and Norway (where we drove beyond the Arctic Circle). In Papua New Guinea, we stumbled into an episode of tribal warfare. From our rental car, we saw the forest ablaze, punctuated by random gunshots. On one adventure, we drove a thousand miles across the Australian outback from Brisbane to Perth, then flew to South Africa, and drove through Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. >8 At the Moremi Game Reserve,

CARD ME

FLOW MOTION

Business leaders have announced a new gift card program in downtown Santa Cruz. Starting Wednesday, June 1, shoppers will be able to use and share digital gift cards—just in time for graduation season and Father’s Day. The eGift cards, the result of a partnership with Instagift, will be available on downtownsantacruz.com.

Customers who buy $100 worth before June 15 will get an extra $20.

A new piece of bike infrastructure is coming to downtown, thanks in large part to the hard work and lobbying of cycling enthusiasts and groups like Bike Santa Cruz County. Contraflow bike lanes were once linked to plans to change the direction of Pacific Avenue, but the Santa Cruz City Council voted last month to approve just the bike lanes, which will run against the direction of traffic.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 1 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

The voices in our heads are our constant companions.

They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news: In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge, or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core—the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

“My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself?

From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 We are inclined to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze.

The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused. Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20 I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future, Gemini.

I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks.

“Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.”

I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

According to many sources on the Internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

I’m debating about which of your astrological houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days. The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways.

You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Sunlight, beautifully transformed with Hunter Douglas window fashions.

Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says.

“Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

“No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you.

Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not.

You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.”

During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, and give love when you’re lonely.

OPINION

<4

Botswana, our rented Land Rover was charged by a mother elephant. Panicked, I threw the stick shift into reverse, spinning the wheels.

Fortunately, the elephant was smarter than me, and came to an abrupt halt when she saw all the dust. In South America, we traveled to Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, and on to see the calving glaciers on the eastern side of the Andes at Glaciers National Park. At the Plaza de Mayo, in Argentina, we watched hundreds of mothers protesting the kidnapping of their sons and daughters who had been “disappeared” by the Argentine military.

Nancy and I once flew to the remote Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. From the rim of an erupting volcano, we saw a river of flaming molten rock flowing slowly down into a giant pool of bubbling lava at the heart of the volcano.

Sadly, Nancy never fulfilled her dream of visiting Antarctica, one of the few destinations she missed in her intrepid adventures.

What’s wrong with Measure Q? First, $310 million dollars is a grand sum—but this amount is actually more. The cost is enormous.

Cabrillo was voted a construction/upgrade bond—Measure C—for $87 million in 1998.

Additional funding brought the total to $120 million. According to the Cabrillo College Facilities Master Plan Construction Cost Estimate dated June 7, 1999, all of the major construction projects—VAPA Building, Student Services, Health/Wellness, Horticulture—were included, as well as everything else and indirect costs, for a campus subtotal of $100 million. I called the Project Manager, Michael Maas, to fact-check the story before publication in the Aug. 1, 2000, Aptos Times: it was all good and he was proud that the project was on time and on budget, rare for a large project.

Construction stopped in October 2009, and stayed stopped for several months. Then the college came out and announced it needed another $70 million, which later grew after voters approved another $128 million Measure D, 2004. The Final Report of the Citizens’ Measure D Oversight Committee (June 2015) provides a detailed summary of all that has been accomplished.

When I learned of Measure Q, I was perplexed as to what is going on. I thought to talk with the Project Manager Michael Maas, and my inquiry revealed he died in 2012. But his company, MAAS Companies Inc., lives on. MAAS

specializes as a turnkey provider to California community colleges of facility development, including securing bond funding. Their MAAS website boasts of their more than $3 billion in billings and a recent two-college project in Orange County (where the firm is based) for $547 million in bond funding. We need to know the history and present fiduciary relationship of MAAS Co. to Cabrillo. It is not apparent if MAAS has any interest in securing other sources of money; bonds cost twice as much over the life of the bond, but voters are weak for them because the cost is diffused and deferred. The timing of the ballot measure suggests the trustees are pulling a quickie end-around cash grab. We need to learn what happened to the more than $100 million from Measure D that went missing before we even consider another penny. Now comes Measure Q, offering to do all that was accomplished with Measure D, but at three times the cost of Measure D from 2004, and all of this money has been spent.

Bond financing for routine and deferred/ ignored maintenance is like taking out a second mortgage to buy groceries, or living on your credit card and getting the credit limit extended every time you max out. It is not a substitute for prudent and responsible management.

It is a failure of vision and budget. Those responsible for the failure of maintenance must be held accountable.

Yes, true higher education funding is being cut across the nation by forces of ignorance. But one does not fix failure by preparing for more failure. We need to know what all funding efforts the trustees have tried and failed at before even considering another new bond.

Now the argument is the trustees have become bond-dependent and cannot be expected to kick their habit. How is this modeling the educational mission of the college?

Bond Measure Q will encumber all properties with a hidden built-in cost, one spread to renters, and everyone, further ratcheting up the bogusly inflated real estate market. If Measure Q passes we shall be paying for the bond $310 million, for the interest of $310 million totaling $623 million dollars will cause higher housing prices and rents to pay for this huge Cabrillo College debt through 2047.

JOEL KOPPA | SANTA CRUZ

NO ON Q I have never, ever voted against a school bond.

It’s in my family’s DNA that one always votes for school and library funding measures. I lived in Santa Cruz County for many years, where I was the founding principal of New Brighton Middle School. I currently live in Ashland, Oregon, but have maintained close contacts with friends and former Santa Cruz County colleagues. I have

OPINION spoken to a number of current and former Santa Cruz County educators and city officials about Measure Q. While all of them are voting against Measure Q, they will not take a public stand because it simply doesn’t play well to be against educational funding.

I voted for the last two Cabrillo bonds, but, if I could, I would vote no on Measure Q. I believe that Measure Q holds the potential to do more harm than the good its proponents profess. First, it overstates any current or long-term financial needs required by the college. Second, because

of its extravagance, it damages the ability of other school districts to successfully pass their own bond measures. There ought to be a way for Santa Cruz County school districts to work together to coordinate funding measures, maybe even through a joint powers agreement.

I am proud to be aligned with Ray Kaupp, a leader in the campaign against Measure Q. His thoughtful analysis (at reamq.org) of why this measure is a bad choice is one I invite all voters to carefully consider.

WELLNESS

SEX GEEK Reid Mihalko of reidaboutsex.org travels the country sharing tools for healthier relationships and sex lives. He recently taught two classes at Pure Pleasure in Santa Cruz.

Sex Ed 2.0 The key to good sex may be talking about it The Dutch mothers talked about how to balance risk and responsibility and pleasure. And they talked very frankly about girls’ entitlement to sexual pleasure, and that made a huge difference in the outcomes.”

Looking back at my own middleschool sex education, it’s true: the focus centered around protection from diseases, menstruation, pregnancy— all important stuff—but the pleasure aspect of sex was as absent as the clitoris and vulva were from the alienlike diagram of internal female parts.

But it wasn’t until I found myself in the back row of “Blow Job Grad School”—a class taught by sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko at Pure Pleasure—that I realized the true breadth of what we’re not taught.

Of course, the consequences of

living in a “sex-negative” culture, as many would call ours, affect all genders. And it soon became clear that, aside from a few tips and techniques to try at home (including what Mihalko calls “the Flying Squirrel”), the real focus of the class was on empowering us with the tools for self-discovery.

“I want you to walk away with permission to like what you like and not like what you don’t like, and to extend that to your partners,” says Mihalko, whose teaching style is an equal balance of comedy, wit, anatomy lesson and helpful metaphor.

n researching her book Girls and Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape, Peggy Orenstein spoke with 70 young girls between the ages of 15 and 20, and compared the Dutch model of sex education to the American one. Orenstein found that Dutch girls reported fewer negative consequences from sex—like disease and unwanted pregnancy— than American girls, as well as more positive consequences, like enjoying sex, and feeling like they can communicate well with their partners.

The reason, maybe, is that, “the American mothers only took a harmreduction approach,” said Orenstein in an interview with NPR. “They talked about contraception; they talked about disease; they talked about danger; they talked about risk.

esteem, self-confidence and sexual health in and out of the bedroom, as well as to get America talking in “more empowered, less fear-based ways about sex and intimacy.”

Early on in the class, the selfproclaimed “sex geek” gave us perhaps the most useful assignment: to schedule an “R&D” night with our partners, in which we’d spend a good 45 minutes exploring their bodies. (That this was a novel idea for most of the class was duly noted.)

One reason this is so helpful is that sensitivity and pleasure levels vary greatly from person to person. Also because “we cannot read each other’s minds,” says Mihalko. The ability to talk about sex even when you’re feeling ashamed, is the number one tool that couples will take away from his workshops and online courses— that, and lube, he adds.

“A great example of ‘sex negativity’ in American society is that it’s perfectly OK to show gruesome acts of violence to children on TV and film but not OK to show two consenting adults making love and exchanging sexual pleasure,” Mihalko wrote to me later by email.

This means that many Americans get their education, or miseducation, as it were, watching pornography— which Mihalko reminds us is largely an entertainment medium, not an educational medium. “We run the risk of developing bad habits,” says Mihalko, including, he jokes, the misguided notion that all it takes to have great sex is ordering pizza delivery.

Pure Pleasure is a vibrant hub for sexy adult ed, and has been since opening in 2008.

“The workshops were always a part of the vision,” says Amy Baldwin, who co-owns Pure Pleasure with her mother. “My mom and I were inspired by other sex positive pleasure shops in the Bay Area, and wanted to bring sex-positive sex ed to Santa Cruz … Our classes eradicate shame while ‘normalizing’ sexuality with the stance that all consensual sex is good sex.”

Pure Pleasure, now in an airy new location at 111 Cooper St., offers several classes a month.

NEWS TABLING THE VOTE New downtown vending rule will push out some street vendors

T

he driveway and garage of Paul Elerick’s Aptos house is home to four cars, two of them classics—a 1950 Ford and a 1954 Mercury. Both are vibrant red and were on the road before the 79-year-old Elerick even knew how to drive. They seem like an odd fit for a onetime skeptic of highway widening, who helped start the Campaign for Sensible

Transportation over a decade ago.

He was never “the anti-car guy,” though, he explains. The crusade against highway widening was never about automobiles, he says, but instead about preventing a boom in growth to the community.

“We weren’t too hot about seeing an eight-lane freeway all the way to Watsonville, but that wasn’t necessarily because of the cars. It was

because of the growth. And a lot of people agreed with us,” Elerick says.

“But it’s a different ballgame now.”

Elerick, who helped defeat a ballot measure to widen the highway 12 years ago, resigned as co-chair for the Campaign for Sensible Transportation a few months ago to endorse the latest measure from the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission (RTC).

Eddie Jauregui has been setting up a table on Pacific Avenue every day for the past three years to sell stones wrapped in wire.

The 21-year-old street vendor has lived in Santa Cruz most of his life. Creating DIY jewelry, he says, has provided him a way to connect with other people. His trips downtown as a child inspired him to pursue art, he tells GT, clutching a wire-cutter in his right hand and a wire-wrapped amazonite stone in his left, while people stop to admire his collection.

But in a few weeks, Jauregui’s sidewalk jewelry sales will become illegal under a city law adopted by the Santa Cruz City Council on a unanimous vote last month.

Street vending rules have been in fluctuation for more than a decade.

On Pacific Avenue, the city has had “exempt zones,” since December 2014, allowing people to table and perform within painted boxes on the sidewalk without being hassled or ticketed by police.

Originally, there were 63 color-coded zones on Pacific—some for political tabling and others for performing. The city later cut the number of zones by more than half, and chose not to distinguish their uses. The latest rule update, which goes into effect later this month, increases the number of blue boxes from 27 to 30.

The problem is that “commercial vending” has never been allowed on Pacific Avenue.

The new law has specifically defined the practice as it hadn’t ever been before. Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager, says the old language was too vague and didn’t provide police officers and downtown hosts a concrete sense on what constituted commercial vending versus First Amendmentprotected freedom of expression.

“From a legal perspective, if we wrote a ticket for commercial activity, the judge would throw it out,” says Collins, who helped draft the ordinance. “We were seeking a way to uphold something council approved long before this.”

Collins argues—as does Chip, the executive director of the Downtown Association—that the atmosphere downtown has transformed into one that is less friendly to tourists and business owners. Collins calls it a “flea market effect.”

Vendors like Jauregui assert that the “spirit of Santa Cruz” is in danger, >16

HOLISTIC PSYCHIATRY

has been butting heads with fellow transportation activists and old friends about a possible sales tax measure, which would widen Highway 1 while also putting tens of millions of dollars into local roads, public transportation and bike and pedestrian projects.

The first transportation measure, which hit ballots in 2004, was a half-cent sales tax plan that would have spent nearly two-thirds of its cash on widening the highway with expensive carpool lanes. A newer plan, which the RTC board is expected to approve this month, would put a quarter-cent sales tax that spends just 25 percent of its money on Highway 1, if voters approve it by a two-thirds vote come November. Engineers would build merge lanes that run from onramp to offramp, a smaller-scale plan that’s cheaper, although also less effective than carpool lanes in reducing traffic congestion.

The plan would also fix local roads, pay for rail corridor improvements, fund the Rail Trail network and help the ailing METRO bus system.

The plan has been comprehensive enough to gain the support of major environmental organizations like Ecology Action and Bike Santa Cruz County. Still, a small group of activists has launched letter-writing campaigns and flooded public meetings to express their disdain for the measure, which they say will have an impact on climate change unless RTC boardmembers take highway

emissions appear to be off by a factor of a couple of hundred, as GT reported in February. (Caltrans won’t comment on the documents while they are in review.) Nelson and other activists point out that there are differences between what was studied in the environmental documents and what the RTC is proposing, and they would like to see metering and traffic lights at on ramps considered.

When the Santa Cruz City Council voted 6-1 in support of the measure, Councilmember Micah Posner, a longtime transportation activist voiced similar concerns.

“I lost sleep over this one,” Posner said at the meeting, turning away from his colleagues and looking toward the Community TV camera. “I respect [Councilmember] Don Lane a lot and [County Supervisor] John Leopold, who helped put it together, and I definitely am saying that this proposal is a heck of a lot better than the one we beat before. But I can’t support something that’s based on a false pretense, and widening the highway will not work.”

Many South County leaders, though, like District 2 County Supervisor Zach Friend, have for years called highway improvements a working people’s issue. Many low-income people drive from the southern end of the county up Highway 1 to their jobs in Santa Cruz. Even a small improvement makes a big difference, Friend says, and he isn’t buying the argument that highway widening won’t >18

widening off the measure.

Elerick says that would be enough to kill it. He feels that the Campaign for Sensible Transportation has been hijacked by single-issue environmentalists who ignore the county’s serious transportation problems and only care about global warming. “I know all about that, so let’s talk about something else,” he says. “Let’s talk about getting people home from work. And I really think there’s so many good things in that ballot measure—so many good things.”

Jack Nelson, one of the co-chairs for the Campaign for Sustainable Transportation, tells GT he always appreciates hearing other people’s viewpoints, Elerick’s included. “My personal preference is to stick to policy and not make it a personality issue. He’s entitled to change his view,” Nelson says. “I respect his opinion.”

Nelson helped bring Susan Handy, a transportation expert from UC Davis, to Santa Cruz for a discussion in April.

Environmental documents for the new highway changes cite Handy’s work from 2003, arguing that new lanes on the freeway would not convince more people to travel. But Handy has since indicated it’s more complicated. New lanes, she has said, could actually put more cars on the road in the longterm, creating as much congestion as ever. “We're trying to shed light, actual research, on transportation policy," Nelson says.

Nelson has found other possible flaws in the documents—namely that the projected greenhouse gas

school at CSU Sacramento.

For its final set, the trio (known away from the Blue as the Alex Raymond Band) experimented with playing in the background of all 20 comics’ sets, taking breaks only to sip on cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon, essentially the house beer at the lovably grimy dive—the same brew that promoter DNA gingerly throws into the crowd to get

comedy fans excited.

Some comics appeared unsure of what to make of Raymond and company’s jazzy drone, which carried weaker jokes that may have otherwise failed, while also dampening funnier ones that may have shaken the room’s foundation if given the space to do so.

No comedian at the open mic managed the style better than San Jose comic Ben

DelCastillo, who perhaps by no coincidence was also the evening’s drunkest—relaxing from the start and delivering lazily syncopated punch lines that bounced right off the band’s loose feel. With Norm Macdonaldlike phrasing, DelCastillo praised the work of the band and their pleasant vibes. “I tell you man, if these guys can’t get you laid,” he opined, “then, eh … you are not an attractive person.” JACOB PIERCE

TABLING THE VOTE <13 and that downtown is known for its unique vendors. He sees himself as an artist who’s trying to “spread positive vibes” and share his love for stones with the community.

“When I was growing up, I was inspired and looked at Santa Cruz as this art hub, as being a place of inspiration for artists, and I feel like they’re trying to destroy the spirit of Santa Cruz,” says Jauregui. “We’re just here doing art and being positive, I don’t see why they want to stop us.”

The new rule lists crystals, rocks and geodes among the 22 items that constitute the now-outlawed “commercial vending.” The list ranges from auto parts to stuffed animals.

It’s essentially anything that has “more than nominal utility,” according to the law.

“What has happened over the years is that anyone can come and sell anything and say it’s artistic expression,” says Chip. “There is no legal standing to say whether or not it is, so the sidewalk has become overfilled with people selling all types of things.”

Vendors will still be allowed to sell items they created themselves—like books, paintings and photographs—within the exempt zones. The main issue here is a concern about fairness, Collins says. Homemade jewelry poses more competition to brick-and-mortar businesses, he says, than people selling one-of-a-kind pieces of art would.

“Business owners pay significant rent and

overhead, things that benefit our community, and at the same time you have individuals selling the same items,” says Collins.

City and business leaders have grappled with defining what is and isn’t art, because courts have often supported an individual’s right to sell one’s artwork as a form of artistic expression, protected under the First Amendment. Councilmember Micah Posner doesn’t see wire-wrapped stones and crystals, for instance, as particularly creative.

“The quality of artistic expression on Pacific Avenue has gone downhill, and so in my mind, most of what I see downtown isn’t very inspiring,” says Posner. “People are wrapping geodes and calling it jewelry.”

At the same time, while Posner

understands business owners’ concerns, he doubts they are losing money as a result of street vendors.

Henry Pikoos, owner of World of Stones and Mystics, has been in the stone-game for 35 years and opened his downtown location two years ago. While he doesn’t like the idea of “guys selling crystals and stones while I pay taxes,” he admits the news of the law passing made him feel heartsick.

“The guys out there, they’re not conforming, but they’re out there trying to make a buck to survive, so this is going to have a dramatic effect on them and I feel for them,” says Pikoos, whose business is on Front Street.

“To be honest,” he adds, “I don’t think it really ever affected my business.”

be effective enough, since activists already halted the carpool lane plan, which was slated to create more congestion relief.

Last December at an RTC meeting, Friend compared fanatic transportation advocates to national politicians “at least of a specific political party”—meaning Republicans—who support cutting taxes to the point where they can’t fund any federal programs. “And then those federal programs don’t work, and then people say, ‘Well, those federal programs don’t work.

We should shut them down.’ It’s a pretty interesting argument,” Friend said at the meeting. “It’s brilliant, actually, politically. But there are real people who are really impacted by these decisions that we make.”

As county roads lie in a state of disrepair, local leaders have already started worrying about the future, well past November, when the possible measure would hit the ballot.

At the Pasatiempo Inn, former Republican state lawmaker Tom Campbell spoke last month to a room with a mix of nonprofit executives, local leaders and reporters. After speaking about the upcoming election cycle, Campbell fielded questions at the event, which was hosted by the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce.

As the inquiries dwindled, George Dondero, executive director of the RTC, raised his hand to thank Campbell for saying earlier in the afternoon that more counties should fund transportation with local taxes, but the longtime transportation expert worried even that might not be enough.

“Even if we’re successful here, it’s just going to be a start, and throughout my career, it’s been frustrating to hear both the federal and state level retreat from infrastructure in general, not just transportation. Do you have any optimism about that trend changing, because it doesn’t seem to be getting any better?” Dondero asked.

“No, I do not,” Campbell said. A couple of seconds later, the crowd began chuckling. Dondero, stunned for a second, gazed around the dining room as it filled with grim, pessimistic snickering. Then, he shrugged, leaned back in his seat and laughed.

AM I STRAIGHT NOW? When Whitney Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Hudson (right), came out as a transgender man, she soon realized that his transition process would reach into every facet of their lives. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Making it Work The coming out process brings change to families, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of them

BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

W

At the time that he first brought up the prospect of transitioning, Smith and her husband were in the middle of adopting two children.

“All I said to him was, ‘I cannot deal with this right now, this has to go on a goddamn shelf for a while,’” says Smith, speaking candidly over the phone. “He very generously agreed, which now looking back I realize was probably excruciating, because I didn’t understand that once somebody comes out and owns their identity as a trans person there’s a real level of like ‘I want to get the hell out of my body and into my right body.’ He did that out of love for us.”

Four years into her husband’s transition, some things are still sinking in and evolving, with new challenges at every turn, says Smith. With three kids and 11 years of marriage between them, she says she has never considered leaving.

“Most married people get to the point in their marriage where they’re like ‘OK, yeah, I don’t like you sometimes, but I love you. Are there more good days than bad days?’ We had that,” says Smith.

“Initially, I thought I was getting a hairier wife, but what I actually got was a husband.”

WHICH BOX? “One of our friends said it best: ‘I was not expecting a penis in my relationship,’” says Logan McCann, 52. Most same-sex female couples wouldn’t. But Logan came out to his wife, Chrissann, 45, as a transgender man two years ago—incrementally, and rather reluctantly.

“I was terrified. Emotionally, I’m exposed,” remembers Logan.

“I’m basically opening up, exposing myself and taking the chance that my partner might tell me ‘F-you,’ and leave.”

Sitting next to Logan, one hand on his knee, occasionally smoothing her long, lightly whiteflecked ponytail, Chrissann smiles, remembering the wait.

“The first time I brought up ‘you know, sometimes it sounds like you identify more as male,’ he was like ‘I have never said that, what are you talking about?’” Chrissann says,

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JUNE 1-7, 2016

hen her partner came out as a transgender man, Whitney Smith was pissed.

“I was like, ‘I don’t want to be any more different than we are.

We’re this lesbian couple, we’re adopting two kids, we’ve had a lot of other difficult things happen in our lives—traumatic, hard, challenging things,” says Smith, 44, who has been out in Santa Cruz for years. “What I quickly realized was that for his coming out process, I was going to have to do a lot of coming out as well. I was going to have to become the perfect trans spokesperson.”

While coming out is always primarily about the individual, it’s rarely a process that affects them alone, says Smith.

“I describe it as a grieving and transition process. I think it’s a pretty apt framework, because one of the stages of grief is denial,” says Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) Deb Abbott, who leads a local support group for partners of transgender people called TransLove.

<21 raising her voice in mock anger. “As we started to get more comfortable, more familiar, I could see Logan windowshopping.”

He inched his way toward the conversation, suggesting a preliminary conversation about having his daughter not call him “mom,” says Chrissann, and planning what days they’d talk about transition, in between vet visits for their cat, paying taxes, going to work and daily life. Chrissann just had to wait, she says, because while she felt she knew what her partner wanted to say, she knew that Logan was on a journey that requires an “egocentric time,” as she calls it.

When he finally did announce his plans to transition, he threw it “out against the wall and let her sit with it,” he says. Chrissann was bursting at the seams: “It was killing me because inside I was like ‘Way to

go!’” says Chrissann, eyes smiling.

Chrissann identifies as a cisgender bisexual woman.

“I did have some resistance to some of the concepts at first because I have some resentment about gender in the world—that it’s so forced on people and there’s all these expectations about what it means, and I felt like, ‘Fine, you identify as a male, does that mean you need different things as a male?’” says Chrissann, who is co-facilitator of the TransLove group with Abbott. “But I realized that for Logan, gender means a very different thing than it does for me.”

talking to my straight guy friend and he looked at me and said, ‘Yeah, conscious men are just holding it together by a thread,’” remembers Smith, chuckling. “Testosterone has a power that I didn’t understand until it lived in my bathroom cabinet in a vial.”

She is aware of the change in his brain chemistry—the way he’s less communicative, more physical—but while it’s a new sensation, she says, it hasn’t driven them apart.

“I’m actually more attracted to my husband than I’ve ever been. Our attraction, our love for each other, is deeper than it’s ever been,” says Smith. “That has wholly to do with him being who he is meant to be. He shows up so vibrant, so happy, so full.”

Smith identifies as more on the bisexual side of the spectrum, but since she’d been with women for a majority of her adult life, navigating the bedroom presented a challenge— initially.

“Even if you’re bisexual and you’ve slept with men your whole life, that’s going to be an adjustment, so I would say that’s where that shows up for us,” says Smith. “But the idea of penetration is not a straight paradigm. I think when people have a healthy relationship with their sexuality and when you’ve reached a level of sexual self-mastery and confidence, it just doesn’t matter.”

In the case of a same-sex relationship where the partner strongly identifies as lesbian or gay and their spouse transitions to the opposite gender, that could be a far greater hurdle, says Smith.

“I am very fortunate there was such excellent care, close to home. I now realize how important it is to get involved and do what we can to have a top notch hospital right here.”

Steve Snodgrass, CFO, GraniteRock.

The Cardiac team at Dominican has big plans, including the modernization of the Catheter Lab and a new hybrid operating room for heart surgeries. To get involved please call Beverly Grova at 831.462.7712 or e-mail beverly.grova@dignityhealth.org.

have to be the one to contact her children’s friends, parents and teachers, she worried.

She didn’t have to, says Smith, especially about how their three children would react.

“They actually showed me how to be OK faster than I got to be OK myself,” says Smith. “As a family, it’s such an important conversation to normalise.”

Kids are adaptable, says Abbott, but having a supportive family and community is critical from the very beginning.

“In Santa Cruz, we’re a progressive community. The Diversity Center has a trans girls group, trans teen group, trans family group—there’s so much support. We have the fabulous Dr. Jennifer Hastings training people locally and around the country,” says Abbott. “But when kids have an early awareness and don’t have the support, it can be profoundly damaging.”

For a family in transition, there can be a whole new territory of pronouns, names, surgeries, pills, hormones and more. Although prior to her partner’s transition, Smith had often joked that she was married to a man—there were areas of uncharted territory then, too.

Until her partner’s transition, Smith says she thought that male gender expression had more to do with nurture than nature—that if you raised a boy and a girl the same way, they’d turn out the same.

Within the LGBTQ community, identifying as gay or lesbian can be a bold, brave thing, a source of hard-won pride. A partner coming out as transgender can leave the cisgender partner questioning how they identify, says Abbott.

“You’re not saying ‘I’m leaving you,’ you’re saying ‘I’m transitioning and if we’re perceived as lesbians and I’m transitioning, I’ll be perceived as a man, as my true gender, then we will be perceived as a hetero couple,” says Abbott.

“There’s a grief sometimes of the loss of the queer identity or lesbian or gay identity.”

As members of the queer community and organizers of the last 11 pride events in town, it’s something that Logan and Chrissann have experienced firsthand.

“Basically I feel like I’ve been thrown out of one house and into a new house, but I haven’t been accepted by this new house yet,” says Logan with a guffaw. “So I’m like fine, I’ll go find my own house!”

It’s the kind of division that exists because of the enormous battles that

lesbian women have had to fight to get to where they are today, and their connection to the feminist movement, says Abbott.

But the conversation has changed.

Now the term “queer,” which was once used as a vicious derogatory term, has been reclaimed as an umbrella term by many younger members of the LGBTQ community.

The terms pansexual, bisexual, demisexual, genderqueer, genderfluid and others have gained footholds in queer discourse in order to demonstrate that when it comes to sexuality and gender, it’s very rarely only gay or straight, male or female.

WEDDED WIFE VS. LESBIAN LIFE Coming out is not the same for everyone, nor is it the same for people who come out as gay when compared to someone who comes out as a transgender man; or as a lesbian compared to someone who comes out as a transgender woman.

What they do often have in common, however, is the risk.

Depending on where the individual lives, the realities of coming out can

Scotts Valley’s Sky Park 361 King’s Village Rd.

RETHINKING MARRIAGE For a couple that cares deeply about one another, in which one comes out as gay or lesbian, Abbott encourages them to forget what society expects of marriage and divorce, and focus on what would work for them.

“I encouraged women to go to therapy with spouses, work on arrangements and how to talk with the kids together. Work with the goal,” says Abbott. “You have to have buy-in from both partners, work on the redefining family and work on your relationships.”

For Jan H., 62, that’s exactly what she did. After reading Abbott’s book in the late ’90s, Jan realized that she was a lesbian woman in a heterosexual marriage.

“I wasn’t ready to leave my marriage,” says Jan. “These things don’t just happen overnight, we still loved each other and are good friends.”

Jan was open with her husband, but they still happily stayed together until January 2015, after being married for 25 years.

Even after Jan came to the understanding that she was a lesbian, the closeness in her marriage did not dissipate.

“The strongest part of our relationship was always our friendship, it wasn’t like we weren’t physically attracted to each other— we were always affectionate. I would say the sexual attraction was never really one of the strongest things. That definitely went away as time went on,” says Jan, adding that in her case, sexuality was fluid.

be dangerously different.

When Abbott, 63, moved to Santa Cruz to attend UCSC in the early ’70s, it took her many years to discover her sexuality, though she always found herself very close with women. Abbott didn’t fully come out as lesbian until after her marriage with a man ended, as she describes in her book From Wedded Wife to Lesbian Life, a collection of stories by women who were in heterosexual relationships before coming out.

After the book was published in 1995, Abbott received letters from women all over the country and realized that not only were there far more women experiencing the same journey of discovery, but they also needed a place to talk and learn from one another. She founded a support group in 1997 and ran it for roughly 12 years.

In that time, the struggles that women faced were often of a very traditional nature, says Abbott.

“Women were also very much more financially dependent than in the reverse case, where a gay or bi man realizes he wants to leave his marriage. One of the challenges for middle-aged folks is that you’ve got friends that have been in your life for decades,” says Abbott, adding that the film Carol showed one of the most heartbreaking risks: “You not only risk losing this best-friendhusband of yours, [you] maybe even [risk] being alienated from your kids.”

There are now far more women in the workforce, with more autonomy and a greater level of consciousness, so at least in the Bay Area, it’s not as difficult to come out as it used to be, says Abbott.

MAKING IT WORK <25 put our arms around one another, we continued that even after I was officially saying I am a lesbian.”

Now that Jan is newly single and retired, she says she feels incredibly lucky to have had a long and loving partnership with her husband. Even though she did feel closeted, says Jan, it gave her the space and time to discover herself. For her it wasn’t about intentionally renegotiating what marriage meant, as she and her husband remained exclusive and slept in the same bed until they separated—being together meant being a family.

When asked if her ex-husband ever expressed feelings of betrayal or anger, Jan admits that he did. In some ways, she speculates, he was probably in denial.

QUEER FEAR There’s a lot of fear around the coming out process, for all parties involved: fear of being rejected, fear of being alone, fear of being misunderstood, fear of being taken out of one box and put into another, and fear of being unsafe.

For Smith, there’s a host of new fears: her husband’s impending surgery, the health risks, even his using the restroom in towns less progressive than Santa Cruz.

Just like Chrissann, who now mourns the loss of her “bathroom buddy,” Smith says something as simple as going to the restroom has brought up new anxiety. For one, says Smith, there is far less privacy in a men’s restroom, so deviating from the standard “stand and deliver” urinal method gets noticed.

“If you walk into a restroom and there’s four, five other dudes, and you do something that’s not in line with the normal rules, you could easily be a target for a lot of reasons,” says Smith. “That doesn’t mean you should have a penis, because some trans people don’t want a penis and that’s OK. [But] it feels very nerve-wracking.”

Navigating these unforeseen hurdles alone is a near-impossible task, says Abbott, which is why having access to support groups like TransLove is so important.

“One of the strong motivators for TransLove was to provide a space to have all of that huge range of feelings and reactions separate from their partner, because many haven’t told friends and have their own coming out process,” says Abbott. “It gives them a space to be mad, to be sad, to go through all of their stages of grief and then hopefully stay in their relationship with the new set of identity labels.”

Finding people who really get it is an invaluable resource, says Logan.

“Having met other trans people and trans men has really helped, because suddenly I know I can reach out—there’s support, they’re friends. There are various people further along in the process and there are people behind me in the process,” says Logan. “It’s not going to be a simple twoyears-to-transition, it’s a lifetime commitment. I’m doing it for the rest of my life. I’m lucky that my wife is there to give me the shots because I’m terrified of needles.”

“That didn’t change with the transition,” interjects Chrissann, her eyes crinkling in a grin. “I’m not going anywhere.”

SANTA CRUZ PRIDE Santa Cruz’s 42nd annual Pride events kick off at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 5 with the parade at at Pacific Avenue and Church Street. The parade will pay homage to this year’s Grand Marshals, local out singer-guitarist Patti Maxine and Delta High School student Adrian Viloria, founder of Santa Cruz Youth Radio. Following the parade, the 2016 festival will take place on the grounds between Cathcart, Cedar and Lincoln streets with vendors, food trucks, music, kids’ activities, spoken word artists and performers on two stages in honor of Marsha P. Johnson and Harvey Milk. Performers include Aerial Arts, Anita Tiara Drag, Cheer SF, Do-Rights Burlesque, among others, and an open mic and a dance party to close out the day.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“That’s the miracle of painting. All this paint, and these marks, and it becomes something that you can feel.” — HILDY BERNSTEIN <28 portraits of no one in particular shimmered with a corona of pale disembodied heads. Magic realism at its most mysterious, I thought, unable to shake Bernstein’s tough and tender images. “The faces of the unseen.” That’s how she describes some of the images that seem to push upward toward the viewer from another world.

Bernstein’s artistic arc achieved orbit somewhere between the drawing classes she took as a girl at Manhattan’s historic Art Students League and the creative homecoming she experienced at the renowned Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. “At Naropa I had become part of a Buddhist community— psychology, religious studies and the arts—it was the tripod that made absolute sense to me.”

After eight years in Colorado Bernstein says she knew she was ready for “the next phase” of her life. Gathering her instincts and her 2-and-a-half-year-old son, she arrived in Santa Cruz going on 30 years ago. Into her life came dance, movement, massage therapy and a Daoist study group.

The Daoist idea of returning to one’s true self sparked Bernstein’s return to visual art in the late ’90s. “But I promised myself that I would return only for the pleasure of it,” she says. “I had to do it for the joy of it—I was just going to start in and let it unfold. And I’m still in it.”

Showing her work for the first time in 2001, Bernstein now does several shows and Open Studios each year, staying true to her creative spiritual quest. “Nature and human nature, I go back and forth between the landscape and the figure,” she explains, eyes gleaming bottle-green. “My figure

work draws me into such a dark mysterious place—life and death— that I have to step back from that and return to something greater than human experience,” she says, pointing to a haunting, highly abstracted landscape. “I have to get to a bigger view.”

One of her goals as a painter is to spark an emotional response.

“That’s the miracle of painting,” she says. “All this paint, and these marks, and it becomes something that you can feel.”

Influenced by the aesthetic of Japanese art, especially her studies of Japanese tea ceremonies, Bernstein embraces the minimal in her visual work.

“People might think that I underpaint,” she says, showing me a series of stark charcoal and acrylic heads, “but I love that. I love how the faces seem to appear out of nothing.”

Loss and death have figured into Bernstein’s personal life lately.

“I am painting my way through these experiences,” she says. Her mane of extravagant hair almost comprises a visual lament. “The paintings are taking us into a story,” she admits. A story that can’t be photographed. A man at night standing in an ocean of rising water. “How do I make sense of what’s going on in the world?” she asks rhetorically. “Maybe it’s my own mythology.” Or maybe she’s bearing therapeutic witness.

Ready with paint and canvas to see what happens.

Living simply, as she describes it, has enabled Bernstein the freedom to pursue what she loves; “to just paint.”

COMEDY

LOVE WILL GET US A LAUGH Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher perform as part of their ‘Honeymoon Tour’ at the Vets Hall on Monday, June 6.

The Honeymooners Comedy Central’s funniest couple come to town BY DNA Making his name in San Francisco clubs in the early 2000s, Kasher was a darling of the Bay Area comedy scene.

A spirited youth whose childhood was like something out of Dickens—deaf parents, stays in mental institutions and an early exposure to drugs and alcohol—forged a tempered spirit in him. A unique stand-up comic, Kasher’s crowd work borders on shamanism. Now in L.A., he is writing and executive-producing a new television show for Showtime, based on his 2012 memoir Kasher In The Rye: The True Tale Of a White Boy From Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16. Directed by the

Russo brothers (Captain America: Civil War, Arrested Development), it’s a sign of how fast Kasher’s career is accelerating.

Natasha Leggero is also hitting a wider and wider demographic. Her appearance on the Comedy Central roast of James Franco showed her to be the heir apparent to snarky comedians like Joan Rivers and Sandra Bernhard. A smart and sharp wit informs her comedy, with an “I’ve seen it all before” persona.

She’s also the co-star, writer and director of Comedy Central’s Another Period. A scathing commentary on today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, the Victorian-era comedy features

The Honeymoon Tour with Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher stops in Santa Cruz at 8 p.m. on June 6 at the Veterans Memorial Building. Tickets are $25 on brownpapertickets.com.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JUNE 1-7, 2016

T

here’s a natural rhythm to the way newlywed comedians Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher communicate. Something floating in the nuance that makes it hyperreal and on point. Remember the way Elaine May and Mike Nichols rolled out improvised conversations that at once seemed completely normal, but, on slightly closer inspection, were riddled with dark humor? That same spirit, of couples collaborating to subvert a dominant paradigm, infuses the work of Leggero and Kasher. While they may not yet be household names, their upcoming show in Santa Cruz will be undoubtedly unforgettable.

guest cameos from stars like Jack Black and … Moshe Kasher.

“I’m a co-executive producer on that show, as well,” says Kasher.

“And it’s for no reason connected to our marriage. It’s based solely on my talent.”

The comedy power-couple married last October and, partly inspired by the story of a couple that took a 15-year honeymoon, has embarked on a three-week “Honeymoon Tour” of their favorite cities.

“Santa Cruz is one of the shows we are most looking forward to,” says Kasher. “We have some typical spots we are playing like Portland and Oakland and Austin, places we would go on any tour. But Santa Cruz is the fun spot for the Honeymoon Tour.”

“We love burritos,” says Leggero.

“We love burritos and surfing,” agrees Kasher. “I have a technique of surfing where I get on the board and then I fall over immediately and I get scared and I go to the beach and I think about how old I am.”

“Moshe likes to surf,” says Leggero. “He’s stood up on a board a couple of times.”

While Leggero’s stage performance is adorned in silk and perfume and pearls, Kasher’s protoMad Max attitude is rubbing off.

While difficult to imagine, Leggero went to Burning Man. “I forced her to come, and she almost had a good time,” says Kasher.

“It’s a great place to go breast feed your pet ferret,” says Leggero.

“She had a good time,” Kasher insists. “It’s part of her persona to not enjoy things. But she had a great time pretending to be better than everyone.”

“It’s not just my persona that doesn’t enjoy dust storms and no food,” she retorts.

Don’t let all that snark fool you, though. Behind it, these two have big intertwined hearts that will woo you, wow you and make you laugh. Like when Leggero finally admits she liked the ecological aspect of Burning Man.

JUNE FEATURES Ann Baldwin May Art Quilts Abrazos Del Alma

O’Neill Surf Shop –Arts Council Skate Board Art 110 Cooper St. 6-9pm

1001 Center St, 5-9pm

There was a time, back in the day, when the Santa Cruz Art Center was the cultural epicenter of Santa Cruz, filled with galleries, working studios, the Santa Cruz Actors’ Theater and of course the culinary creativity of India Joze. As though the building has artistic genes in its very walls, it has once again become a mecca of artistic and culinary inspiration. Adding to the creative fervor this month is the opening of a new art quilt studio and gallery, Ann Baldwin May Art Quilts. Mexican-inspired quilts will be featured for the studio’s inaugural First Friday.

All hands on deck! This fundraising raffle supports Arts Council Santa Cruz County and its work to power the arts in Santa Cruz County by driving creativity, innovation & vibrancy. This is your opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind art deck, simply by buying raffle tickets. Stop by O’Neill on Pacific Avenue to view the boards in person and buy your tickets! 20 local artists have contributed to make this project rock – check out images of their boards at artscouncilsc.org

Fish Princess Farm – Joan Hellenthal

1543 Pacific Ave, 6-8:30pm

109 Locust St, 5-8pm

One of our favorite upstairs salons is taking it to the streets this month. Well, at least taking it to street level. The Nook will be filling a downstairs storefront on Pacific Ave. to showcase 7 local artists with ties to Santa Cruz Pride.

Alaya Vautier, Briya Serrano, Brandy Williams, Kristen Mulvaney, Rebecca Ford, Amy Wolfe, and Scottie Johnson will have their jewelry, clothing, photography and paintings on display. Kick off Pride weekend with the Nook and celebrate Santa Cruz’ amazing diversity.

How grand will the first First Friday event at Fish Princess Farm be?

One might wonder how it will contain itself to the modest shop on Locust Street. This month’s event features the lush and colorful paintings of Joan Hellenthal, with savory biscuits from Iveta Gourmet paired with Gabriella Cafe’s own housemade goat cheese and culinary salts from Laguna Creek Farm.

MUSIC

Soul Searcher Singer-songwriter Michelle Chappel has taken some big risks to pursue her musical passions BY AARON CARNES

M

ichelle Chappel’s mom thought she was crazy— and maybe she was right. After all, Chappel had graduated from Princeton, and gone on to a great career as a psychology professor at Santa Clara University, excelling in her field.

Then she gave it all up, because what Chappel really wanted to do was write music. Even if it seemed like a crazy move at the time, she felt she had to give it a try.

“I would always tell my students to follow their hearts. I started to realize after a while that I wasn’t really taking my own advice,” Chappel says. “Deep down inside,

I really wanted to be a rock ’n’ roll star. I wasn’t really owning it.”

This one decision back in the late ’80s not only led to realizing her musical dreams, but also led her down an unexpected path—traveling all over the world, garnering hits in multiple countries, and juggling several simultaneous careers.

Now she has eight albums under her belt—seven in the folk/pop/ country genre, and one meditation album. When she’s not playing music, she does consulting work, holds inspirational workshops, and for a while taught part-time at UCSC. “There was a year I taught at UCSC, consulted for Yahoo, and

recorded a CD at the same time,” Chappel says. “I pick up one career and then I do another one, and then do another one, and do them all at the same time. That’s been my life.”

When she made that initial decision to follow her passion, Chappel was only at the beginning of her journey of self-discovery.

In the early ’90s, at the advice of her now ex-husband, she moved to South Africa, where she got signed to Polygram and produced several hits there, including a No. 9 hit in 1994 (“Strange Kind Of Love”). She later relocated to Europe, and in 2002 scored a No. 7 hit (“Wheels on the Bus”) in the U.K., where she was

CHASING DREAMS Michelle Chappel performs at Don Quixote’s on Sunday, June 5.

signed to Gold Circle International.

The successes were good, but something still wasn’t right. She describes her first two records as very Joni Mitchell-esque, in that she’s writing about herself and her feelings.

After releasing her second album, she had an epiphany while visiting the crypt of St. Francis in Italy. She swore she heard St. Francis whisper to her: “get your ego out of your music.”

“I’d been frustrated with major labels, felt I had been treated more like a commodity than a person,” Chappel says. “I started writing songs that encourage people to follow their hearts. I realized I’d combined psychology and music and found my true calling.”

Not only was her newer music encouraging to other people, but she could see how everything she was involved in was connected.

They weren’t separate sides of herself, they were one and the same.

Even her consulting, which she began calling Creativity Rock Star Consulting, and her seminars were designed to do the very same thing her music did: inspire people.

“I think that moment, it helped me to do everything the same way,” she says. “I’m a singer, but what I sing about is the same thing I consult about, same thing I teach about. I wasn’t just writing for myself, and it made it so much more meaningful.”

Chappel continues to keep exploring— musically, she doesn’t feel like she’s really found her sound yet. The only real unifying trait of her music is that it’s all derived from her acoustic guitar, and it tends to be roots-oriented, though often with heavy pop influences. She’s still figuring out what she’s going to do on her next album.

“To me, it’s all about the sound, the message and the voice—not so much the instrumentation,” she says. “I just talked with a producer in Nashville who wants to work with me, and he’s like ‘strip it all out.

Just you and your guitar … all this compression stuff that’s been going on for 20 years, let’s throw that out the window.’ The bottom line is I’m really a fan of a good song.”

ORGONE TRAIL Orgone headlines the Redwood Mountain Faire on Saturday.

Tree Tops Terrific mix of music for Redwood Mountain Faire BY CAT JOHNSON

T

he Redwood Mountain Faire is one of the annual highpoints for laid-back locals who love to dance, mingle, eat, drink, check out local arts and crafts, and not have to find daycare for the kids. A family-friendly event that showcases the thriving mountain music scene, the faire seems to get better each year, with a lineup that nicely balances standout local bands with big-name, nationally touring acts.

This year is no exception. From the morning warm-up acts through the headliners, the Faire’s lineup of 22 bands promises to keep festivalgoers dashing from stage to stage to catch as many acts as possible.

Whether you prefer kicking back in the shade while listening to some high lonesome picking, or kicking up dust to the hottest funk and dance groups around, the Redwood Mountain Faire has you covered.

The event is again presented by the Valley Women’s Club, who have been putting it on for decades, and benefits local nonprofits and service organizations so you can do some good while you get your groove on.

The fantastic Los Angeles-based funk and soul group Orgone headlines

Saturday, and the rest of the day is packed full of great music. Other Saturday acts include progressive bluegrass act Hot Buttered Rum, Bay Area jam band Shady Groove, the rocking blues of Harpin Jonny & Friends, our beloved Banana Slug String Band, contemporary funk band Polyrhythmics, Portland-based rocker Scott Pemberton, classic soul outfit Pawn Shop Soul, local reggae group Soulwise, Americana band Heathen Hill, and rockers Scary Little Friends.

Headlining Sunday is the fabulous 20-piece, carnival-style party band MarchFourth. The day’s stellar lineup also includes Lake Tahoebased indie-roots act Dead Winter Carpenters, long-running Latin music favorites the B-Side Players, local roots band Sharon Allen & the Dusty Boots, Bay Area standout the Sam Chase, Americana jam band Scott Cooper & the Barrelmakers, local folk trio the Painted Horses, musical collaborative Rainbow Girls, alt-rock cover band Zebra 3, Grammy-nominated roots band Yarn, and pop/soul band Joy & Madness.

FAME THE MUSICAL

Five millennials vacation in the woods; a ghostly grief counselor struggles to find his footing; it’s hard to find a good guy in Santa Cruz; an excellent excuse for being late to work; and why can’t a guy just enjoy a beer in peace? No, it’s not the combined plotline of the weirdest local reality show, but it is the combined efforts of local filmmakers. On Friday, June 3, Repertory Santa Cruz showcases five short films, all under five minutes, from page to post. If those crazy storylines didn’t reel you in, how about the traditional southern food, including fried catfish and chicken? Plus all the proceeds go to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

LOCAL BAND PAINTED MANDOLIN

Jerry Garcia had many different sides. So it’s no wonder that he and the Grateful Dead have inspired so many tribute bands, many of which take on one specific aspect of the band. In the case of Painted Mandolin, the focus is exclusively on Garcia’s acoustic work. That includes acoustic material from the Grateful Dead, Garcia’s solo work, and the handful of other bands and collaborations he was involved with.

JUNE 1-7, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“He’s famous for being an electric guitarist, but he’s a very good acoustic guitarist also,” says guitarist/mandolin player Larry Graff. “People that aren’t Deadheads would like this music more because it covers a wide range of styles.”

52

Indeed, even if most people imagine long, spaced-out psychedelic jams when they think of Garcia and the Grateful Dead, some of the most respected music they released was acoustic.

The two 1970 Grateful Dead records (Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty) include a lot of bluegrass, folk and country influences—and it’s considered by many critics to be some of their best work.

Painted Mandolin covers both the acoustic songs of Garcia’s and the songs he was fond of covering. That includes tunes by Miles Davis, B.B. King, Ralph Stanley and many others. The project is also significant in that it’s the first local Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia tribute band to feature both guitarists Matt Hartle and Graff. Also in the band is Roger Sideman (bass) and Joe Craven, who used to play with the Garcia/ Grisman Band (percussion, mandolin, fiddle). AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 4.

BUDOS BAND

WEDNESDAY 6/1 EXPERIMENTAL

HAPPY VALLEY BAND Happy Valley Band plays “machine deconstructions of popular tunes, filtered through the brain of a computer, and re-performed by humans with intense energy.” What that means to other humans is that works by pop megastars such as Madonna, James Brown, Patsy Cline and Elvis get stretched, smashed, sliced into pieces and reconfigured into spooky and experimental shadows of themselves. Sound weird? It definitely is. It’s also mind-expanding and relaxing … if you’re open to such things.

If you like free jazz and experimental music, you’ll love this. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

THURSDAY 6/2 JAZZ

JULIAN LAGE TRIO Any gig that brings the brilliant drum explorer Kenny Wollesen back to Santa

Cruz, where he grew up, is welcome.

But when it’s a trio led by guitar star Julian Lage, featuring bass master Scott Colley—well, that’s reason to celebrate. The group recently released a quietly breathtaking album, Arclight, that’s destined to land on many “best jazz recordings of the year” lists. At 28, Santa Rosa-raised Lage has spent more than half his life as a working musician, and his evolution from prodigy to seasoned professional has been a marvel to behold. In recent years, he’s recorded acclaimed duo albums with pianist Fred Hersch, guitarist Nels Cline, and guitarist/vocalist Chris Eldridge. But Arclight captures a new chapter, with Lage bringing his finely calibrated touch to a vintage-sounding Danocaster. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

JAZZ

POST-STREET RHYTHM PEDDLERS There’s a lot of fun music out there to cut a rug to, but can anything be better than some prohibition-era old-timey

jazz? This was the pop music of the ’20s, and man did they know how to write a catchy, swinging ditty! Locals Post Street Peddlers evoke this time period with their seven-piece ensemble.

There are horns, clarinet, washboard, piano, the whole nine yards. It’s never silly or ironic. They love this music and do a good job of showing why it was so popular back before rock ’n’ roll took over. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 6/3 REGGAE

THE ITALS On Friday Moe’s Alley welcomes back one of reggae’s premiere vocal groups, the Itals. Keith Porter, Ronnie Davis and Lloyd Ricketts formed the group in 1976 but have performed together since the 1960s when they originally met in defunct group the Westmorelites. In the past four decades, the Itals cut a number of essential albums for any collection, such as Give Me Power. While Porter is currently the only remaining original member, he continues the Itals

Daptone Records is one of those labels that record lovers know is going to deliver high-quality, soul-infused, kickass music, and Daptone’s Budos Band is no exception. This horn-driven, Brooklyn-based instrumental band combines funk and deep soul with rock grooves, doom metal-like extended tunes, and Afro-Funk underpinnings into a psychedelic sound that has no equal.

How one band can attract stoners, soul enthusiasts, jazz heads and rockers I’m not sure, but these guys do. CJ

PUNK

BAD RELIGION With 16 studio albums, 29 singles, a legion of fans and 36 years of intellectual rebellion, Bad Religion might just be the most famous punk band in the world. Starting out as a humble high school band full of pissed-off teenagers ready to make a change, Bad Religion has stayed true to its roots even while gaining radio popularity.

Any self-respecting punk has probably already seen these guys at least once.

However, to all those virgins who haven’t moshed in a BR pit, this Friday’s show is the perfect opportunity, as the boys are in full form and busting out tunes from their entire discography, including 2013’s latest release, True North.

INDIE

KEVIN MORBY Two years ago, Kevin Morby released his second solo record, Still Life. It was an ironic title, as he had just quit the Woods, and his other band the Babies was on hiatus. Meanwhile, he threw himself into his own music with intoxicating results. His latest album, Singing Saw, finds him growing a confident solo

voice rooted in ’60s and ’70s alt-country/psych-pop singer-songwriters. But his music seems less retro, and we’re seeing the truly subtle, eclectic, understated nature of Morby emerge. AC

DAVID NELSON BAND

ROYAL JELLY JIVE

David Nelson is best known as co-founder of the country-rock outfit New Riders of the Purple Sage, but the singer-songwriter, who spent years performing with Jerry Garcia, is capable of handling a variety of styles, from progressive bluegrass and acoustic roots to rock, jazz and jam.

As frontman of his own group, Nelson directs his ace musicians—including Barry Sless on lead guitar and pedal steel, Mookie Siegel on keyboards, accordion and vocals, Pete Sears on bass and vocals, and John Molo on drums—through tripped-out covers, classic Grateful Dead jams and Nelson originals.

In the 10 years that singer/songwriter/ surfer Donavon Frankenreiter has been a working musician, he’s gone from a no-bad-days young artist looking to capture the essence of life on the waves to an experienced family man and mature songwriter exploring life’s ups and downs. His latest album, 2015’s The Heart, sees Frankenreiter releasing some of the most heartfelt, insightful material of his career. As he puts it, “These songs are simple and intimate and honest … I love writing positive songs and happy tunes, but there are some downers here. I feel like it’s where I’m at." CAT JOHNSON

FILM

A WIDOW’S PLAN Morfydd Clark and Kate Beckinsale in Whit Stillman’s ‘Love & Friendship,’ adapted from

Jane Austen’s ‘Lady Susan.’

Austen Translation JUNE 1-7, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Love & Friendship’ a wickedly funny adaptation BY LISA JENSEN

58

W

hit Stillman, perpetrator of ironic ’90s preppy angst (Metropolitan; The Last Days of Disco), may not be the most obvious filmmaker to adapt Jane Austen. But it’s a good fit in Love & Friendship, Stillman’s adaptation of the early Austen novella Lady Susan.

Stillman’s films are also comedies of manners, but in crafting a script from Austen’s precise observations, the filmmaker has learned some of the author’s wit and subtlety, while tossing out the vapid whining that so often mars his modern films.

The novella was written in the 1790s, well before the Regency era of Austen’s prime as an author. (It was revised ca. 1805, but not published until 1871.) The story contains the classic

Austen elements—a comely widow, her teenage daughter, their relations, a couple of eligible bachelors, and a manor house in the country. Along with Society, practically a character in the drama, whose strict rules must be obeyed, or, at least, not too obviously flaunted, at all costs.

Stillman begins at too breakneck a pace, eager to get to the good stuff; he shuffles out characters like a blackjack dealer’s cards, with droll onscreen captions, before we have any idea who anybody is. But characters, their personalities, their relationships to each other, and their private agendas all sort themselves out soon enough.

Lady Susan Vernon (played to scheming perfection by Kate Beckinsale) is a beautiful young widow without income, making the rounds

of the country houses of her friends and relations after the death of her husband. “We don’t live [anywhere], we visit,” she explains. Her daughter is away at a boarding school, whose fees Lady Susan deems too “ridiculous” to pay. After a scandal at her last residence, where she charmed the husband away from her hostess, Lady Susan arrives at the home of her tremulous sister-in-law, Catherine (Emma Greenwell), whose brother, dashing young Reginald de Courcy (Xavier Samuel) is a frequent visitor.

No sooner has Susan struck up a dalliance with the smitten Reginald, than her timid daughter, Frederica (Morfydd Clark), arrives in flight from school. (Sighing over the complexities of parenthood, Lady Susan notes, “When children are little, there’s a

kind of sweetness which compensates for the dreadfulness that comes later.”) Alas, poor Frederica is just another pawn to be moved in her mother’s master plan.

Which is to see her daughter married well to a wealthy, titled neighbor Frederica doesn’t want, as she confesses to Reginald, on the grounds that he’s too silly. Indeed, the prospective groom is Sir James, brilliantly played by Tom Bennett as a genial fool whose absolute cluelessness would be appalling if he wasn’t so good-natured. And when these plot complications become too dense, Stillman hies Lady Susan off to London to explain her plans and their effects to her friend and confidante, Alicia (Chloe Sevigny).

In Lady Susan, we see a blueprint for the later Austen character, Emma Woodhouse (of Emma). Emma, too, is full of schemes, determined to manage the lives of everyone around her. The difference is that Emma has an extra psychological dimension that makes her capable of softening her opinion of her own superiority when she sees how her matchmaking has gone awry, and the unhappiness that ensues.

Lady Susan, however, is incapable of remorse. She sees the misery her schemes cause to others (especially her daughter), and she doesn’t care, as long as she achieves her aims—to see herself comfortably settled, yet still free to pursue her pleasures.

She is the character in its raw state, selfish, manipulative, and sly enough to blame “the ill-nature of the world” if anyone dares to find fault with her.

But, as is always the case with Austen, the underlying theme beneath this frivolous-seeming plot is the powerlessness of women in this world without the security of money, or the protection of marriage. Lady Susan is not simply a predator; she’s a realist who understands she must keep subtly rewriting the rules in order to win the game, and has the wit and audacity to do it. She is not one of Austen’s admirable heroines, but she may be one of the most entertaining.

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP *** (out of four) With Kate Beckinsale, Chloe Sevigny, Morfydd Clark, and Xavier Samuel. Adapted by Whit Stillman from the novella by Jane Austen.

Directed by Whit Stillman. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated PG 92 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a ... giant green turtle wearing a do-rag.

Plus Megan Fox and Laura Linney, naturally. Dave Green directs. Will Arnett and Tyler Perry co-star. (PG-13) 112 minutes.

ME BEFORE YOU Well, she’s no khaleesi in this one, but Emilia Clarke smiles more, wears goofier get-ups and her eyebrows are expressive enough for a cinematic experience all of their own. Don’t even try to stem the waterworks here folks; beautiful people in castles, a brooding half-paralyzed former prince (Or was that a different movie? He’s a Disney prince, right?) falling in love but he’s still brooding over sad things. Everyone is going to be bawling—we already are and we only watched the trailer. Thea Sharrock directs. Sam Claflin and Janet McTeer co-star. (PG-13) 110 minutes.

POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING Andy Samberg kills Seal.

Need we say more? Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone direct. Imogen Poots and Bill Hader co-star. (R) 86 minutes.

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Oh gee, a freethinking 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 also 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 co-star. (PG) 113 minutes.

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 co-star. (PG13) 153 minutes.

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

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

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

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 pre-Snow White rendering. Cedric Nicolas-Troyan 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? 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 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.

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP Reviewed this issue (PG) 92 minutes.

THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY Based on the true story of the incredible mathematical mind of Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar who came to Cambridge during WWI from a poor upbringing in Madras, India, The Man Who Knew Infinity is a look into how one outsider

revolutionized mathematical theory.

Matt Brown directs. Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons, Malcolm Sinclair costar. (PG-13) 108 minutes.

THE MEDDLER Walking into her daughter’s house unannounced, recruiting the family doctor as a future son-in-law, giving sex advice to her daughter’s friends and then buying their wedding dress, Susan Sarandon is every mother, ever. Lorene Scafaria directs. Rose Byrne and J.K. Simmons co-star. (PG-13) 100 minutes.

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

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

Or, whatever. Garry Marshall directs.

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

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

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

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

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

These gentlemen have never looked better. Shane Black directs. Angourie Rice co-stars. (R) 116 minutes.

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

ust two days after re-opening at the corner of Seabright and Soquel avenues, Lillian’s Italian Kitchen already looks like it has been welcoming the public to its handsome, spacious new dining room forever. The newly expanded Lillian’s boasts long side banquettes, a central expanse of flexible table seating, and a dark wood back bar and cocktail seating that will probably be one of the top spots in town to sip, flirt and watch flatscreen sports.

It felt like a neighborhood homecoming for the Morenos and their team of chefs, whose flaming sauté pan theatricals at the exhibition kitchen were visible for all to see. Very Vanessi’s. Service was welcoming and right on cue, and the family-friendly menu was as lengthy as ever.

My companion waxed nostalgic over the wire bread basket stocked with fresh ciabatta and tapenade olive oil. “It’s just like Jersey,” he beamed. It’s true, the feel of the unfussy hall is very Brooklyn-by-

the-beach. We agreed to split a house green salad ($8.50)—dressed with a superlative creamy pesto vinaigrette—and then explore the Lillian’s concept two ways. I chose a fresh king salmon special with smashed potatoes and garlic spinach ($27) while Jack went for the beloved penne and Sunday gravy with meatballs ($24). We ordered a Chianti Classico ($9.50) and Nebbiolo ($11) by the glass from Lillian’s wine list. Distinctive stemware. Generous pours.

Seated at the banquette closest to the back entrance—watched over by a suite of appealing family photographs—we enjoyed a surprisingly quiet dining experience.

Given the size of the room and the vintage pressed tin ceiling, the noise level toward the Soquel Avenue windows can climb as the room reaches capacity.

We were both very pleased with our choices. My salmon arrived with a succulent moist interior and that crisp seared top that only restaurants seem to be able to do. The spinach was ridiculously delicious and infused the potatoes beneath with a comforting garlic inflection.

Tiny radish sprouts topped a dice of tomatoes in the center of the dish.

Pretty and tasty. The penne was perfectly cooked and the Sunday gravy—a charismatic tomato meat sauce of simmered meats and Italian sauce—was heaven. Jack loved Lillian’s supersized meatballs.

Everything tasted like serious Italian home cooking.

Checking out the bar area after dinner, I got a closer look at the beautiful woodwork and the polished granite bar top. The line-up of small tables in this lounge section felt incredibly cozy, tucked into the wraparound dining space. The pacing hummed throughout our meal, as streams of diners came—or took a seat to wait for tables. It felt like it had always been here, the new expanded, thoroughly old-school California Italian Lillian’s. Welcome home! Hours are 4-9 p.m., and until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Closed Sunday. lilliansitaliankitchen.com.

WINE HONORS Soquel Vineyards’ 2014 Nelson Chardonnay was awarded a 91 point rating from Wine Enthusiast. The wine contains 100 percent Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay and weighs in at a refreshing 13.7 percent alcohol, driving “an intense and remarkable sense of sea salt caramel” as well as a “chalky limestone character,” according to the magazine. Since this wine also won a Double Gold at the 2016 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, I’m inclined to head on over to the winery and pick up a bottle. Or two.

In the $28 ballpark.

Sun’s Out Buns Out Sausage cart serves up creative takes on a timeless tradition BY LILY STOICHEFF

SANTA CRUZ'S

BUNS AWAY Brittany Crass of Sun’s Out Buns Out. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Downtown Santa Cruz

n a sunny afternoon at Corralitos Brewing Co., an enticing and familiar smell beckons me from my IPA toward a gleaming hot dog stand. Brittany Crass beams from under a sun hat as she takes my order for a Reuben.

A few minutes later, she hands me a hefty red and white-checkered paper basket: A well-toasted bun cradles a smoked beef sausage smothered in tangy kraut, swiss cheese and Thousand Island aioli. Eaten standing over a barrel, I engaged in the struggle of trying to get each delicious component into every bite.

It tasted like summer. And also like my favorite sandwich from a Jewish deli I frequented in New York.

Crass is carrying on the timeless tradition of hot grilled meat on a bun with her sausage cart, Sun’s Out Buns Out. Her mobile eatery boasts all the traditional trappings, but the sausages she serves have enough creative oomph to make the American classic feel new again.

Crass sources a variety of dogs from the famed Corralitos Meat Market and personalizes them with unique recipes catered to the atmosphere of the venue—usually one of Santa Cruz County’s 11 (soon to be 15) craft breweries, as well as special events.

Visit her at East Cliff Brewing, a pub

that specializes in traditional English ales, and you’ll find a banger topped with mashed potatoes, peas and caramelized onions. For those feeling less fancy or carnivorous, a classic all-beef dog and meatless sausage are always on the menu.

“I love taking something simple and making it a fun experience,” says Crass. “There’s so much you can do. It’s kind of like beer. You start with simple ingredients but the creative possibilities are endless.” INFO: facebook.com/ SunsOutBunsOutHotDogs.

Holman Ranch Sustainable and organic ‘Sweet Love’ from Holman Ranch BY JOSIE COWDEN

W

ith the next full moon coming up on June 20, maybe it’s time to stock up on a bit of Sweet Love! Holman Ranch has just what you’re looking for.

We recently stopped by their tasting room in Carmel Valley and I was totally smitten with the 2013 Sweet Love—a luscious estategrown Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc that has passion in every drop. Only 180 cases were made of this Sauterne-inspired dessert wine—a perfect blend of sweet and tart. This is powerful nectar, indeed.

Although dessert wines are mainly meant to pair with dessert, I prefer a sweet wine paired with a slice of crisp apple or a piece of cheese. With an elixir such as Holman’s Sweet Love ($30 for a 375-milliliter bottle), it’s simply delightful to enjoy on its own or with some very dark semisweet chocolate. And, of course, you don’t have to wait for a full moon to open it up.

Holman Ranch also makes Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rosé of Pinot Noir.

No herbicides or pesticides are used on the fruit, and it is all certified

sustainable and organic. Also, don’t miss their Extra Virgin Estate Olive Oil and house-fermented Red Wine Vinegar. The vast estate’s vineyards, olive groves, stables and breathtaking 360-degree views of the Santa Lucia Mountains make it a popular setting for weddings and corporate events.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES GEMINI—A LINE OF LIGHT BEAMS DISPLAYING DUALITY Saturday night is the Gemini new moon festival.

“Let instability do its work,” is the keynote. All the vicissitudes, confusions and instabilities in our lives have purpose—our eventual seeking of balance and harmony. Gemini (sign, person, month), is a playful and fun sign. The “tricksters” of the zodiac. Moving one way, then another, then disappearing without notice. Gemini always signifies “two.” Two minds, two columns (Twin Towers, Masonic columns), two hands, two brothers/sisters, etc., each offering two realities. Gemini points out the relationship between them. Pondering these words, we begin to understand Gemini people. We see them doing their spiritual task (job). Each sign has a task and purpose. We especially experience duality during

the month of Gemini.

The major sign of relatedness, Gemini must connect two seemingly unrelated ideas, realities, people and events. Often, Gemini will introduce two people and disappear, their work of relating things complete. Geminis step out of the picture and into their next task of relating things.

Gemini works with Mercury to gather information, distribute, share, and create new awareness. Building the Rainbow Bridge.

Sometimes Mercury offers much information.

Then Venus (Gemini Soul ruler) steps in. Venus balances, synthesizes, unifies, eases us into new realities with grace and beauty. Our God is from Venus. Bees, wheat, corn and ants (communities) are also from Venus. Venus is Earth’s elder sister.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The month ahead sees you working toward and within your sense of values. If you don’t actually know your values, then observe yourself—actions, focus, communication. Note that you’re slower than usual, caring for what you love (and value) with extra care. You see your ambition, the acquiring of possessions, your impatience or impulsiveness. Your senses are more alive. You eat more. You’re taking on the sturdy and consistent virtues of Taurus. A good thing!

Careful with projecting anger and/or suppressed passion (from long ago to present) toward others, especially ones close to you. You may be unaware of this. Be aware of issues concerning joint money and resources, conflicts and crisis concerning differently learned values. Careful with communication. You may suffer from others’ harshness. Or your own. Home is where all transformations take place. Guard yourself and loved ones carefully. Attend church or temple. Pray.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You have Vulcan’s volcanic ability to forge lead into gold.

Having so many abilities, you learn to share a few. Sharing is new to you. You research the causes of things. Some call this studying conspiracy theories. But actually, those theories often end up to be true. You’re more energetic, active, forceful and even, at times, overly assertive (shocking!).

Rarely are you this way. It’s the planet Mars’ (the 9 tests) retrograde, playing havoc in your opposite sign of Scorpio!

Everything may feel personally challenging. A great wave of change is washing over you. Let’s understand about conflict.

Any conflict experienced means harmony, in shadow form, is hidden within the conflict. Harmony seeking to emerge.

Scorpios are ruled by a star in the Big Dipper called Ray 4— Harmony through conflict. Know this is, and will be, your state of mind and experience. Seeking harmony is your sign’s task.

Everyone watches and imitates you. You’re Hercules.

It’s possible you feel restricted with Saturn in Sag. At first it can feel like obstacles have become a way of life. Saturn, however, is the new Teacher. He informs us of disciplines, daily life rituals that need to be rhythmic. He teaches us restraint, Right Timing, Right Direction and Right Thinking. Saturn teaches us to take care of ourselves with right priorities.

Don’t dispute anything (mostly yourself). Recite silent Ohms.

“Laughter is a meditation,” says Alan Watts. YouTube this.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

It’s most important to ponder upon the word “cooperation” and consider how you impact those around you. With new and emerging thoughts and ideas, you may be inclined to talk over others and attempt to dominate. Sometimes this is needed.

However, it’s best to work with team effort toward a group goal.

It’s also important to create daily agendas, schedules and plans.

They will be your future’s purpose, context and protection.

You would like the Alan Watts laughter video on YouTube mentioned above for Sag. Laughing dispels any sense of doom or overwhelm you may be feeling. With Pluto in Capricorn, deep thoughts and feelings can take over one’s life.

Laughter helps. Tend to loved ones, especially your partner (first). The result will be more play, pleasure and sleep. Do you need new items in your home? Research now. Purchase what’s needed after Mars turns direct (beginning of July).

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Are you feeling the need for protection and for security?

Be clear, organized, and shield your money, finances and resources. Keep track of monies coming in and going out.

It’s possible you could feel lost or confused around money.

Unexpected events could occur. So stay awake, aware and alert. Continue to tell friends and family of your needs. If issues from the past emerge, talk with someone about them.

Perhaps you’re asking, “Where is my home?” Talk about this.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

A hunger for expansion, for newness, adventure and a restlessness that won’t accept no for an answer overtake you. Your life actually does need expansion—new studies, new people, new experiences. All of this energy propels you into travel, new interests, new books along with opinions leading to disagreements, arguments and discourses. Stay away from gambling, speculation or things illegal. Read, study and walk neighborhoods daily.

Work slowly each day on physical tasks. Order and organize all environments. Create greater efficiency.

Ponder upon your true wants and needs. Soon ideas from the Mind of God come forth. Observe communication becoming kind, easy and loving. This is Mercury in Taurus.

Mars, on the other hand, will soon push things forward. You will want to travel. Tend to hands and feet. Sew, draw and paint. Use your heart to make order. Neptune in Pisces.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You’ve become more like a Pisces. Meaning? More sensitive, more in-tune, reluctant to push the river, a sense of other worldliness, walking a different path. You’re working more in secret, and can be blamed for things you didn’t do.

There’s an intuition that the past is somehow merging with the present. For a while everything becomes more private.

Dreams (day and night) appear, imagination is sparked, creativity comes alive. Music (more of it), please!

You’re the leader, the voice everyone hears, the one everyone looks to, hopes to be, learns from, emulates. Your accomplishments are recognized. This pleases you. I have written before that for a Leo to evolve, others must see, recognize and praise their efforts, gifts and abilities. Praise is how Leos more fully identify themselves as creative. Say, “I AM because I create (and you see it).” All of this occurs.

You’re grateful.

DANIELLE: “Yes, I shop here at least twice a week. Shopper’s is a better value than all other markets, including the big stores.

We buy all of our meat from Shopper’s such as the teriyaki skirt steak, marinated chicken, breakfast sausages, and lots more.” LEE: “I really like the freshness of the seafood — salmon, red snapper, halibut — it doesn’t smell like week-old fish. Much of it is local. And the service is personal. Excellent!”

DANIELLE “The butchers remember how we like things such as how the kids like their lunch meat sliced. Very personal service. Our sons, Lee, Macoy, and Jack, always feel welcomed here. Family-owned makes a difference.”

How so? DANIELLE: “You get the feeling they really care about their products and the people. Take the produce: it’s fresh and totally dependable. The quality never changes.” LEE: “We know a lot of the farmers and like that we’re supporting them. And the pricing for both the conventional and organic products is good, especially for what you’re getting.” DANIELLE: “If you’re shopping for good ingredients this is the place to be. If you want a deal on junk food, go to the chain stores. Shopper’s is old school and feels like home. It’s easy. You can find everything is five minutes.” LEE: “And it’s clean. I used to come here with my grandfather in the late ‘70s when he stocked products that Shopper’s sold.”

Lots of good memories here… LEE: “For sure. It’s the cornerstone of the community.” DANIELLE: “You realize when you travel how lucky we are — you can’t find another market like Shopper’s anywhere. You find all these great local products here like Donnelly Chocolates ice cream bars, Kelley’s bread, Verve coffee, Route 1 produce — the list goes on.” LEE: “And the service is great. They get you in and out pretty quickly.

Everyone is super friendly. If you can’t find something, they’ll go upstairs and locate it for you. Management must treat their employees really well.” DANIELLE: “I’ve told new residents not to shop anywhere else.

Shopper’s is the best place for newbies to get started in Santa Cruz. It’s the place to go.”
