OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Looking over 25 years worth of photos of Marin Alsop for this week’s issue got me thinking about why she’s been such a revolutionary figure at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. As Stacey Vreeken documents Alsop’s legacy in advance of the longtime conductor and music director’s final season here, the images say so much about the personality and philosophical approach that have transformed Cabrillo into a world-class festival for contemporary composers.

Her portraits are always classy, but they’re playful, too. She always looks like she has no patience for the pomp

Re: “Stumped” (GT, 7/13): It’s uncanny how often I’ve been thinking about a particular subject, and—voila!—there it is in Good Times. I had just copied these words from Jeff Speck’s excellent book, The Walkable City, in which he sings the praises of trees, saying, “Urban trees, located close to roadways, are 10 times more effective than more distant vegetation at hijacking car exhaust before it hits the stratosphere.”

He adds that a study in Leicester, England (where I happened to live for 18 years) found that “above-ground vegetation stores more than 200,000 tons of the city’s carbon, of which 97 percent is stored by trees … even counting those ample British gardens.”

Trees that shade us in the summer, turn colors in the fall and bare their branches in the winter to let the sunshine in make welcome companions for walking or biking.

Your article mentioned Catalpa Street, with its tunnel of catalpa trees. Never heard of the street or the tree, but now I’m anxious to find it and walk it. Walnut Avenue is so appealing because of its roadside trees. But what happened to the trees along Maple, Elm, Locust, Laurel, and Chestnut? There’s lovely shade this summer on the east side of Pacific Avenue, where you’ll see more

and pretension of a typical “classical music” type photo. And sometimes, she gets flat out crazy—I mean, just look at our cover this week.

There’s always a twinkle in her eye, like she’s up to something. There’s also a softness to her expressions that stands in sharp contrast to her snappy, perfectly structured sense of style, which makes it not at all surprising to read in the cover story that perhaps the most important part of her legacy is the way she’s brought the music to the people with a defiantly democratic aesthetic.

Stacey and I worked together through much of the ’90s, including her accomplished time as editor of this paper. We’ve looked at a lot of photos of Marin Alsop together over the years, and I get the feeling from her story that she, like I, will miss seeing them.

DANA BAGSHAW | SANTA CRUZ

DON’T RELEASE THE HOUNDS I was disturbed by the lack of compassion for homeless people in Kara Guzman’s “Saving Lighthouse Field” (GT, 7/6), as well as the absence of any concrete proposals to actually solve the problem by finding homes for the homeless (real homes, not a mat on the floor of a shelter).

Even worse was last week’s letter to the editor on the topic, which seemed to propose off-leash dog harassment of the homeless. I don’t know if that person has been watching too much Game of Thrones, but the fact is that any decent human being (especially anyone proud of Santa Cruz’s traditions of peace, love, human rights, and compassion for all) should be ashamed of themselves for being so selfish and cold-hearted as to deny essential human rights and dignity to the most vulnerable among us.

Everyone deserves respect, and everyone deserves a home and a livelihood. To debase people who are already suffering debases our society as a whole. The solution to homelessness is housing, along with social services and funding for substance abuse and mental health counseling. It’s wrong to use the police >8

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 20 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

You now have more luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semi-miraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard to understand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?

The Golden Goose Award is given annually to “scientists whose work may have been considered silly, odd, or obscure when first conducted,” but which ultimately produced dramatic advances. Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year’s winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland’s and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 A directory published by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers, and stunt persons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon, an amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

GEMINI May21–June20

I regularly travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are underway there. But it’s in a good cause. The bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it.

Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be five years from today? Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise.

Over the course of a 57-year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese.

But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare.

At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create nonstop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

JULY 20-26, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Capricorns may be the hardest workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will efficiently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand, and do what’s necessary to accomplish them. There’ll be no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trial-and-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you find innovative short cuts that produce better results than would be possible via the grind-it-out approach.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 My friend’s 12-year-old daughter Brianna got a “B” on her summer school math test. She might have earned an “A” if it weren’t for a problem her teacher had with some of her work. “You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that I’m giving you an “A.” All that matters in the end is that you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky.

Have ever fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes, and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”

I hope it doesn’t sound too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierce devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, damn it! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’t-give-a-f*ck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soul-anesthetizing grind.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Here’s one strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 After a cool, dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase. The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies. Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal body? I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of weird delight—and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory fun it will bring.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I’m composing your horoscope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers. We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not—just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don’t let anything tamp it down!

to harass the homeless to simply chase people from one spot to another. I assume no one is yet supporting a “final solution” to homelessness (will have to check with the Trump campaign on that), but the increasing hatred for the homeless is indeed disturbing. We will have these problems with us for a long time until we get serious about finding people the homes and services they need.

Class Issues

New study reveals disturbing truths about hunger and homeless among university students BY MELISSA HARTMAN

I

n his early college years, Jerry Wilburn had a hard time focusing on his studies because he had to worry about where to find his next meal. He was 30 years old when he enrolled at San Jose State University (SJSU) in 2010, and newly jobless after Fremont-based New United Motor Manufacturing Plant buckled under the weight of global recession.

For a time, Wilburn’s schedule revolved as much around his six classes as it did around his daily treks to local soup kitchens and food pantries. He ate ramen and canned veggies from the campus food shelves, and, by way of a meandering bus trip, the occasional hot meal from Sacred Heart Community Service. The stress, he says, drove him to counseling.

“I had savings, but I burned

through them after six months,” he says. “When you start running out of your savings, it’s all focusing on survival. Once a student is in that frame of mind, the chance of [focusing on] being a student becomes really slim because you’re thinking about quitting college and working for another company full time to make rent.”

After months of agonizing >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 20-26, 2016

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Five vegan comedians walk into a jazz club. The punchline, though, is that this is no joke. The Kuumbwa Jazz Center will host the Vegan Comedy Showcase on Sunday, July 31, featuring five hilarious— and animal-product-free—comedians.

DNA, a 10-year veteran Santa Cruz comic, organized the show after reading about the United Kingdom’s first-ever Vegan Comedy Festival, held earlier in March of this year.

“Vegans do not always have the reputation of being funny,” says Virginia Jones, a comic who became vegetarian 27 years ago because of the Smiths’ song “Meat is Murder.” “So I’m excited about this.”

Vegan comedy has begun to develop a niche, as healthy eaters try to turn the joke around after years of being the punchline, as they were stereotyped as “sensitive” or “weak.”

There was even a Los Angeles Vegan Comedy Festival in May, headlined by Eddie Pepitone.

Jones’ inventive and provocatively dark humor draws on her left-leaning politics, being a female in a male-dominated profession, and, of course, veganism. She has a history with Santa Cruz and has performed a number of times at the Crow’s Nest, which she says she enjoys because it fills up with eager comedy fans. “Santa Cruz represents,” says Jones, who loves to stop in at Cafe Gratitude whenever she’s in Santa Cruz.

The traveling vegan comedy squad consists of Jones, Myq Kaplan, Matt Gubser and local comedian Laurie Powell—or as DNA puts it, “the intellectual vegan, the militant vegan, the handsome vegan, the singer/songwriter vegan.”

“And I’m the struggling vegan,” says DNA, who adds that, when flyering for the show, some people have told him they “hate vegans.” He has no idea why, but he doesn’t feel discouraged.

“If you have beef with vegans, bring it!” he says.

Santa Cruzans are no strangers to a meatfree diet, though. Vegetarian and vegan spots like Saturn Cafe and Dharma’s Restaurant have been in town for decades—from 1979 and 1981, respectively. And Santa Cruz’s roots in the lifestyle stretch back so far that a 2013 sfgate. com article recognzed the city as “pioneering” the movement as early as the 1960s.

I’m happy to keep them company.”

NEWS CLASS ISSUES <11 over hunger and the threat of eviction, Wilburn put himself on a list for crisis counseling. Thankfully, he found a part-time job at the university to pull him out of survival mode and into a mindset that allowed him to see the future again. Now 36 years old and working on his master’s degree, Wilburn says he makes enough cash to get by and stay focused on what matters: his education.

But Wilburn is hardly alone in his experience. One in five California State University (CSU) students—57,000 of them—worry about hunger, according to a striking new report commissioned

by Chancellor Timothy P. White.

Meanwhile, one in 10 deal with homelessness.

The survey of 460,000 students marks the first time in the nation that a public university system asked students about their personal experience with hunger and homelessness. University officials plan to use that data to figure out how to meet those subsistence-level needs so students can focus on graduating.

“These are our students,” White said in a statement last month about the findings. “These are the strivers who will define for a generation what it means to radically change the course of one’s life. We must do all that we can to ensure that they have a place in this world where they can go when they are hungry

and have no place to sleep.”

San Jose State conducted a similar campus-wide study in 2014, which showed that about half of students skipped meals because of cost.

And one in three said they’ve had to choose between food or rent, transportation and utilities.

Wilburn, who helps manage the same campus food pantries that pulled him through years ago, says he knows of at least 53 San Jose State students who sacrifice stable housing to stay in school. It doesn’t help that California’s public university tuition costs have doubled over the past decade and tripled since 2000, according to a recent analysis by the Sacramento Bee. Compounding the problem are the rising costs of textbooks and rent, a dearth of affordable housing and higher student loan fees.

“When you look at Silicon Valley, rent is high,” says Stephanie Fabian, who manages the school’s student food resources. “When you are dealing with a city where rent is dramatically different, you can see the struggle among students who are deciding if their salary should be going to textbooks, rent or food.”

Similar problems persist at UCSC, with Santa Cruz being the fifth most expensive metropolitan area in the country for renters. To afford a twobedroom unit without spending more than 30 percent of income on housing, a Santa Cruz tenant needs to work full-time and make $33.77 an hour—a

figure that is out of the question for most full-time college students.

As of 2014, one in four UC undergraduates system-wide— some 37,500 students—were food insecure. The World Food Summit defines food security as “when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.”

Last year the UC Office of the President put $75,000 per UC campus toward addressing the problem.

This year, the office is pledging an additional $151,000. At UCSC, this money has funded short-term solutions distributed by Slug Support, which helps students sign up for CalFresh, distributes food bags to those eligible, and issued 640 dining hall passes.

According to the Pew Research Institute, millennials stand to become the most educated generation in history. That they have to choose between their academic success and basic survival is unconscionable, SJSU officials say. It means delaying graduation to take on more work or dropping out altogether—especially if they have children to feed and house.

Going homeless and hungry also means suffering mental and physical maladies. A 2014 study by the American Society for Nutrition found that people who lack food are more likely to lapse into depression.

NEWS BRIEFS UNCONVENTIONAL

hospicesantacruz.org 831.430.3000

It’s funny to think that while most of us watch the Republican National Convention from across the country with morbid curiosity, one of Santa Cruz’s most famously leftist former mayors is in the thick of it. Chris Krohn is wandering the streets of Cleveland this week covering the convention for the Berkeley Daily Planet. “It just brings a lot of people together that you only see from afar,” Krohn says

over the phone from a noisy room. “You figure out what the questions are. Or the answers.”

Krohn, a UCSC internship director who will also write a column for brattononline. com, is at his sixth national convention, and plans to go to the democratic one in Philadelphia this month as well.

He talked to rapper Chuck D., who teamed up with former members of Rage Against the Machine and other artists to create a supergroup called

Prophets of Rage. The band brought its “Make America Rage Again” tour to the Cleveland streets this week. He talked with Chris Matthews about President Barack Obama, marijuana legalization and the MSNBC news host’s recent interview with Bill Maher.

Krohn even talked to Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson about all the money the feds have put into the event. But Jackson, according to Krohn, doesn’t know how big of a bill the Rock ’n’ Roll Capital

of the World will have to pay when all's said and done. Law enforcement has poured in from 21 states, and California Highway Patrol is even helping out with the beat. Outside the Quicken Loans Arena, Krohn says there were about 2,000 protesters and 3,000 officers.

Most of Monday’s speeches focused on familiar tropes, Krohn explains, like small government and national security. “Every one could have been written 10 years ago,” he says. JACOB PIERCE

STUDY DIET Myq Kaplan, the headliner of the Vegan Comedy Showcase, has been deemed the show’s ‘intellectual vegan.’ PHOTO: MINDY TUCKER

restaurants—from five-star destinations to fast food—have at least one meatless option. Meat and dairy-free meals line the grocery aisles in every form, from soy cheese to vegan orange “chicken.” Several surveys on vegetarian and vegan population numbers in the U.S. have been conducted by the Vegetarian Resource Group and Vegetarian Times. Statistics on vegetarians vary, but a 2012 Gallup poll indicated that 5 percent of people identify as vegetarian, and fewer than half of those are vegan. Celebrities like Joaquin Phoenix, Miley Cyrus and Woody Harrelson are all vegans, as well as many politicians like former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. Even megabodybuilder and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger promotes a meatless diet.

But even as the lifestyle spreads to a wider array of folks, people are still making broad generalizations about vegans. “One misconception, I would say, is that people think vegans are a monolith,” comic Kaplan

tells GT via email, “all thinking and acting and coming from the same place of motivation and goals.”

For his first show in 2002, Kaplan, who was a finalist on Last Comic Standing, shared the stage with Louis C.K., who was then relatively unknown. Two years ago, he released the live DVD Small, Dork and Handsome, a hilarious hour into the mind of the philosophy and linguistics major that is currently available to stream on Netflix. Kaplan, the showcase’s headliner, will record his new album at a different vegan comedy show on July 27 in San Francisco.

Matt Gubser, or, as DNA calls him, the “handsome vegan,” was born in Salinas and went to high school at Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville. Gubser has been a practicing vegan for 14 years, the same amount of time as both Kaplan and Jones. They’ve all experienced the same questions, they say, that every other vegan and vegetarian does: What do you eat, and how do you get enough protein?

“I’m 6-foot-4'4" and 250 pounds, so when I tell people I’m vegan, they think I’m

joking,” says Gubser, who is careful to eat a balanced diet. “But it’s not complicated.”

While plant-based diets have become more common and even fads—see Portlandia—vegetarianism dates back to the ancient Greeks, according to some historians. First-millennial mathematician Pythagoras—often called the first pure mathematician, and the father of the Pythagorean theorem—favored an all-plant diet, and for centuries after, vegetarianism was called the “Pythagorean Diet.”

In 1683, Englishman Thomas Tryon published The Way to Health and Long Life, promoting a plant-based diet and stirring a new generation of people to question what they eat. Inspired by Tryon, a 16-year-old Benjamin Franklin cut out meat from his meals, later writing in his autobiography that it left him with “greater clearness of head and quicker apprehension.” Though his dedication lasted only a few years, he admitted to “returning occasionally to a vegetable diet” throughout his life.

In 1902, Upton Sinclair’s detailed book on the conditions of American slaughterhouses, The Jungle, spawned a new generation of Americans ditching flesh, along with the creation of the Food and Drug Administration and the Pure Food and Drug Act. The modern vegan movement dates back to the 1940s. These days, scientific studies have shown that eating no—or at least fewer—animal products is beneficial not only to human health, but also to the planet, because vegetarianism has a smaller carbon footprint.

Six years ago, the United Nations urged humans to consume less meat in order to help battle climate change.

“It’s one of the most personal choices people have. We control what we put in our mouths, but most people don’t think about it at all,” says DNA, who now owns the domain vegancomedy.com. “I think it’s important to question where your nutrition comes from.”

The Vegan Comedy Showcase starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 31 at Kuumbwa Jazz.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

and Adolescent Psychiatry found that hunger increases the risk of anxiety, a litany of mood disorders and drug and alcohol abuse. All of which, studies show, lead to less focus and lower grades.

Food stamps—officially called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP—offer little help.

To qualify, a person must actively look for a job, and not voluntarily quit or reduce hours to focus on school. California’s CalFresh program may allow for some exceptions, depending on the county and extenuating circumstances.

After the 2014 survey that showed the extent of student hunger, SJSU formed a committee to bolster resources for those who need help. The school now keeps 15 stocked pantries throughout the campus and requires no identification or sign-in for the food. Although, on a recent visit to one pantry, it looked like slim pickings: a dozen Campbell soup cans and a single packet of instant oatmeal. Wilburn says that underscores the need for more donations.

But the state’s yearlong study showed some ways to improve the safety net for SJSU students.

Struggling students have access to only a limited number of emergency meals, according to the report. They can apply for a short-term $500 loan, but have to repay it within two months or at the end of semester. To make up for the lack of on-campus assistance, the school is making efforts to connect students with outside nonprofits and government subsidies.

Elizabeth Agramont-Justiniano, an SJSU sociology major who spearheaded the school’s food shelf program in 2012, says Costco delivers about $2,500 worth of food every month, but that it still falls short of what’s needed to feed students. The issue hits close to home, she says, as her college-educated parents relied on food stamps when she was a child.

“There were times growing up when we couldn’t eat,” she says. “I just remember that experience, growing up and even having some of the resources and not getting enough. That’s why I’m trying to help the students.”

FINAL BOW Marin Alsop will leave the Cabrillo Festival after this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, which runs July 31 - Aug. 13. PHOTO: R.R. JONES

Passing the Baton After transforming the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music into a world-class event over her 25-year tenure, conductor and music director Marin Alsop says goodbye

BY STACEY VREEKEN

F

need me to broker that anymore,” she says. She believes the Cabrillo Festival is set up well for her successor.

“Twenty-five is a good number. It’s not easy, because I really love it there.

There’s no motivation besides feeling that it’s a good moment, and it’s a healthy transition time.”

Festival Executive Director Ellen Primack understands the logic behind the decision.

“Marin is incredibly beloved by this orchestra and this community, and she has done so much for the Cabrillo Festival on so many levels. She will be dearly missed,” says Primack. “She left us strong and vibrant and in a greater position for the future.”

That doesn’t mean it was easy news to get, Primack admits. “After the initial shock of Marin’s news and the sheer fear and heartbreak, she was the first one to encourage the board and staff to be excited and to embrace the possibilities and encourage us knowing that we face a really rich and bright future,” Primack says.

The festival board has formed an Artistic Leadership Team that is already vetting candidates. She says the festival’s commitment to featuring living composers and advocating for new music is as strong as ever.

But decisions about the future won’t happen until the fall. This is Alsop’s season.

“What’s extraordinary about

Marin,” says Primack, “she’s brought so much to the Cabrillo Festival with the wellspring of creative ideas she has. The desire to bring the audience and community into the fold, and the deep respect she has for musicians for coming here for all the right reasons.

And one of the things that made her so successful here and had such an impact is she embraced the culture and sense of possibility here. She loved Santa Cruz. She loves the vibe of the festival. It created an artistic outlet and haven for her. She capitalized on that throughout her rising career.”

The award-winning Alsop is the director of the Baltimore and the São Paulo (Brazil) symphony orchestras, and has established OrchKids, a youth music program and Rusty Musicians, a program for amateur adults, both in Baltimore, where she is also the director of the graduate conducting program at the John Hopkins Peabody Institute.

Her reputation for innovative programming and developing talent has earned her an impressive series of honors, including a MacArthur Fellowship. She has guest conducted for some of the greatest orchestras in the world, and has a close relationship with the London Philharmonic and London Symphony orchestras.

When Alsop started with the Cabrillo Festival, now in its 54th year, she was a young and upcoming artist,

or Marin Alsop, the conductor and music director for the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, “cash is not the currency. New music is the valuation.” And in her 25 years with the festival, she’s created a gold standard.

The two-week summer festival has an international reputation for launching composers, and a legacy of nurturing artists and audiences. When Alsop finishes this year’s Cabrillo Festival, which runs July 31-Aug. 13, she will take her final bow after 25 years at the helm, showcasing new music by living composers.

“It’s not that I wanted to leave Cabrillo to do something else, it’s more about an evolution. After 25 years, I am attracted to certain kinds of music, certain kinds of composers who write certain kinds of music,” she says in a recent phone interview. “It’s a good moment to have another perspective— someone coming in with a different set of passions for different composers, for different styles of music, to take the orchestra and challenge them in new ways. And to challenge our audience in different ways.”

Alsop wants to go out on top when the festival is going strong.

“I feel that many of the relationships that have been established between audience and composers that I brought to them will last a lifetime … You don’t

and a former student of conductor Leonard Bernstein.

“What’s funny is when I came in, it was Dennis Russell Davies who approached me about taking on the directorship. He said he’d been there 19 years. I thought to myself—you know, in my 32-year-old little pigeon brain—‘Who would stay some place for 19 years?’ And here I am 25 years later,” Alsop says with a laugh.

The contemporary music festival’s summer camp feel, and the presence of both famous and new composers, is part of the attraction.

“You know, it’s not like a normal symphony experience,” says Alsop. “Cabrillo is very unique in that every summer it’s a different journey, and a very unique and special journey because of the living composer elements. I think that’s a testament to the creative recharging I get from being

there. From really working with musicians and composers in such a positive, nurturing setting.”

Highlights over the last 25 years of conducting and directing include the performance of Leonard Berstein’s Mass in 1999, and collaborations with Osvaldo Golijov, John Corigliano and Jennifer Higdon, among others. The performed work has always been enhanced by the presence of its creators.

“Every summer has been unique because of the personalities involved, and also because of the musicians,” says Alsop. “The musicians are very, very special. They’re there because they love new music. The audience is there because they love new experiences. And you certainly can’t say that about most audiences, or most situations.”

This openness to new experiences leads to experimentation, risk and

“I always like to say Beethoven was new music too, at one point. So, I try to approach every piece like that, maybe not with that depth of reverence, but certainly with the idea that if we don’t have new music, we will miss the next Beethoven. I feel certain about that,” says Alsop.

“It’s very, very rewarding to work with the composers and creators.

And for me, I’ve never really been a person who’s deeply impressed by credentials. I’m much more deeply impressed by talent.”

Alsop features composers who she thinks have a special voice, whether they’re well known or not.

“Once the composer comes to Cabrillo, if that connection is enhanced by their experience with the orchestra, then they develop their own relationship with the orchestra and the community, and so they become regulars,” Alsop says.

Some of the artists, such as Jennifer Higdon (whose music is featured Aug. 12) become well established and then recommend students. The creative mentoring cycle continues.

It has resulted in unexpected connections with some of the most famous living composers in the

world today, right here in Santa Cruz.

That includes John Adams (“Nixon in China,” “On the Transmigration of Souls”) featured on Aug. 6; James MacMillan (“Veni, Veni Emmanuel”) featured Aug. 5; and John Corigliano (Pulitzer, Grammy, Oscar winner) featured Aug. 13.

“They’re all like family in many ways,” Alsop says. “John Adams, I’ve known him for decades now. He has a unique relationship with the festival, because he was the music director for a season [1991], and he lives in the area. That’s a very special bond. He’s also become a lead mentor at the festival through supporting these commissions for younger composers. He’s connected to us in at least those three ways.”

In Alsop’s honor, the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra has commissioned a piece by Adams, “Lola Montez Does the Spider Dance,” premiering Aug. 6, based on themes from an upcoming opera.

“That’s what I’m doing in all my spare time–spider dancing,” she says. “I don’t know what a spider dance is, it must be like a tarantella that goes crazy … I can’t wait to see it. I think the fact the musicians got together to honor me in this way is extremely emotional. It’s really an incredible thing. I am very, very touched by it.”

James MacMillan’s “Death of Oscar” will be performed Aug. 5.

“Someone like Jimmy MacMillan, I’ve championed his music since the early ’90s, and he’s been to the festival a few times. He fell in love

<21 with the festival the first time he came, and talks it up worldwide,” she says. “Every time I see him, he asks about everyone there. I think it’s the same with everyone. It’s a very special place.”

Corigliano's Symphony No. 1 will be reprised on Aug. 13, the last day of the festival. It was first conducted in 1993 at Mission San Juan Bautista, and will be Alsop’s finale for the festival. Symphony No. 1 memorialized friends and colleagues lost to AIDS, which at the time was a fairly new and devastating epidemic.

“That was the idea. To try to close the circle in some ways. Also to point out how 25 years ago, [when] the subject matter inspired his writing, the piece was more urgent and in the news. The essence of the piece is as relevant today as when it was written.

And that’s what great art is all about.

That was my motivation,” Alsop says.

Corigliano asked Alsop to marry him to his partner Mark Adamo at the Cabrillo Festival in 2008.

“I think that speaks volumes about how much people love the area, but also the feeling of acceptance they embrace that exists at Cabrillo,” she says.

Alsop will now turn her attention

to teaching, mentoring and spending more time with her 12-year-old son Auden. Her afterschool Orchkids program for children has become an important component of education in West Baltimore, with more than 1,000 kids participating. Her Rusty Musicians Project allows adult amateur musicians to play with professionals in an intensive weeklong summer camp.

“I was reading about the fact that more people play instruments today than ever before in history,” Alsop says. “We should really be connecting with these people. These are the people who love classical music.”

Alsop says it’s the only thing she has ever done where everyone who filled out a survey for the camp had 100 percent satisfaction.

“All based on the same principles I try to bring to Cabrillo,” Alsop says.

“Art is for everyone, not just a select few. The creative process is a process that is owned by every single human being, not just ‘talented’ people, and sharing the creative process is a win-win. It’s what we do at Cabrillo.

Everything’s about access, inclusion, information and enjoyment.”

Stark, smart, funny ‘Dream’ launches new SCS space BY LISA JENSEN

I

t’s fitting that Santa Cruz Shakespeare chooses A Midsummer Night’s Dream as the inaugural production for its spanking new venue at DeLaveaga Park. That they even got the stage

HOT TICKET

erected in time for opening day is no less a feat of magic than anything devised by Puck and his fleet of fairies. The set and costumes may be minimalist, but a wonderful cast performing Shakespeare’s beloved

comedy, and a sense of adventure on both sides of the stage, keep patrons happily engaged.

First, the facts: the Festival Glen at UCSC is no more, at least as a performance space for this

company. Ousted by the university (which retained the original name, Shakespeare Santa Cruz), the company has risen phoenix-like, rebranded itself as Santa Cruz Shakespeare, and found a new home in >26

THEATER

The set and costumes may be minimalist, but a wonderful cast performing Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, and a sense of adventure on both sides of the stage, keep patrons happily engaged. <24 DeLaveaga Park. City Council approval to build the new space was only granted in February of this year, meaning SCS has had a scant five months to complete construction.

The stage nestles in a grove of pine and eucalyptus, with an open space for picnicking in front of tiered rows of permanent benches and chairs. Sightlines are good, and the box office, restrooms, and parking lot are all immediately adjacent to the performance space (so you no longer need hiking boots and GPS to navigate to the stage area). Named in honor of the company’s intrepid co-founder and tireless supporter, the space is called Audrey Stanley Grove. Once you drive all the way through the golf course, turn right at the Club House and keep going.

Director Terri McMahon begins her production with youthful fairies wandering onstage with pillows to fall asleep in comical poses. The play’s four plots quickly kick in. An extravagant wedding ceremony is about to be held for Duke Theseus of Athens (Cody Nickell) and the Amazon Queen Hippolyta (Mia Ellis).

But first, a noblewoman, Egea (Carol Halsted) brings a suitor that her daughter, Hermia (Katherine Ko— appropriately little and fierce, also funny), refuses to marry, Demetrius (Brian Smolin)—formerly engaged to Helena (Mary Cavett).

But Hermia and Lysander (Kyle Hester) are in love, so that night they run away—followed by Demetrius, who is followed by Helena. All are soon lost in the forest, where Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairies, (also played by the commanding Nickell, and the warm, regal Ellis) are having a tiff. Meanwhile, some tradesmen of the town are rehearsing a play to perform for the duke’s nuptials.

This amateur troupe is led by “Penny” Quince (usually called Peter,

a male role), whom Kate Eastwood Norris plays as a kind of imperious librarian with a funny, loopy trill to her voice. Most enthusiastic of her crew is Nick Bottom, all too eager to take on every part in their show, played with endearing comic bombast by Bernard K. Addison.

Unseen by the mortals, Oberon commands his cohort, the wily Puck (Larry Paulsen), to work a love charm. (That Nickell and Paulsen manipulate an invisible love potion by mime and sound effects, using no props whatsoever, is hysterically effective.) But it goes awry: both Athenian men are suddenly smitten by the increasingly perplexed Helena.

(Smolin, so good last year in The Liar, is a riot as lovesick Demetrius.)

Meanwhile, the fairy queen falls instantly in love with Bottom—who has acquired the head of an ass (symbolized by a pair of donkey ears in typical productions, although costume designer Christina Dinkel also outfits Addison with equine legs, tail, and a furry loincloth).

Dinkel’s costumes are simple and effective. (It’s funny that she dresses sidekick Puck like Smee in Peter Pan, with piratical striped stockings and headscarf.) Collette Pollard’s smart, stark forest set features towers of metal bars, through which we see the actual trees beyond, while the random chairs they sprout are used as fairy perches, or piled up to make thrones. And all is beautifully lit— especially those trees—by lighting designer Kent Dorsey.

It may not be as ornate as some versions of Dream, but the sheer cleverness of this minimalist production makes us eager to see what SCS does next.

MUSIC

THROWING SHADE Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay (pictured here with the Grateful Dead in the late ’70s) will play with Shady Groove on Friday, July 22 at Don Quixote’s.

Back from the Dead

D

onna Jean GodchauxMacKay was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 for singing in America’s most eclectic and esoteric ensemble, the Grateful Dead. Most people would expect that to far overshadow her induction earlier this year into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, but for her, the latter was even more important.

“To be honored by your peers from your home state—your own town actually, Muscle Shoals—cuts a little deeper,” Godchaux-MacKay tells GT from her neighboring home in Florence, Alabama. “That’s where I

started out and learned my craft. It’s where I began my trip and adventure into the music business and it’s where I’ve returned to live.”

It’s staggering how many great musicians and singers come from Alabama—Nat King Cole, Hank Williams, Percy Sledge, Tammy Wynette, the Commodores, Wilson Pickett and Emmylou Harris top a very long list. In the late 1950s, within the small community of Muscle Shoals, a music aficionado named Rick Hall opened a recording studio called FAME Studios, which produced a treasure chest of national hits.

“I went to my first recording studio

when I was 12,” says GodchauxMacKay. “My mother’s friend was a cousin to Rick Hall. I saw all that equipment at FAME Studios and I got hooked. I got nailed. If I didn’t know before, I knew at 12 years old [that] that was what I wanted to do. I set my heart, my hand and my life into singing. I had no other plan. I pursued it and because of FAME studios I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time when all this incredible music was being released and hitting the national charts during my high-school years.”

The lithe, raven-haired beauty would run to FAME Studios straight

Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay will perform with Shady Groove at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, July 22 at Don Quixote’s in Felton. Tickets are $20.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 20-26, 2016

Celebrated Grateful Dead singer Donna Jean GodchauxMacKay returns to her roots in Felton BY DNA

from cheerleading practice, arriving in her uniform, her friends unaware of what was brewing. “They didn’t even know there was a music scene going on until the documentary came out in 2013,” chuckles GodchauxMacKay. “The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, so many people came to Alabama to record, but nobody in the area had any idea what was going on. On a certain level, it was almost covert what we were doing.”

Godchaux-MacKay sang at small sock hops in high school and in the studio with people like Elvis, Duane Allman, Cher, and Boz Scaggs. A fortuitous move to San Francisco led her and her husband at the time, Keith Godchaux, to join the Grateful Dead. So, when she performed with them for the first time at Winterland in 1972, it was also her first time in front of a big, colorful, chaotic audience.

“That was a huge leap,” says Godchaux-MacKay. “What provided the confidence was that I knew I was where I was supposed to be. It was daunting being in a big boy band. I had to hold my own. You either sink or swim with the Grateful Dead, and I was going to swim!”

A conduit between Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, Godchaux-MacKay sang her heart out with the band.

She returned to sing with the most recent incarnation of the Dead, Dead and Company. The singer-songwriter is positive about that experience and admits that she always loves singing with her old bandmates whenever the occasion arises. But, GodchauxMacKay’s heart is at home with her extremely talented friends and family in Alabama.

“My next project is redoing some of the songs I’ve written,” says Godchaux-MacKay. “My husband David MacKay is recording an album of basses, and I’m involved with that project. I’m not embarking on putting a new band together. When you get to be my age, you get to choose what you want to do. This is a great time in my life. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I get to just have fun.”

MONDAY 7/25 KIM STANLEY ROBINSON AT BOOKSHOP SC New York Times bestseller and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, Kim Stanley Robinson brings his newest science fiction novel Aurora to Bookshop Santa Cruz on Monday, July 25. The Los Angeles Review of Books says Aurora may be his best ever, and that it “breaks us out of our well-ingrained, supremely well-rehearsed habits of apocalypse—and lets us see the option of a different future than permanent, hopeless standoff.” Robinson has authored more than 20 books, including the best-selling Mars trilogy and Forty Signs of Rain, and Time magazine named him a 2008 “Hero of the Environment.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

DICKLESS JULI If the name offends you, don’t worry— the music will, too.

‘Fallopian Dudes’ was the only runnerup band name for ska/surf/punk trio Dickless Juli. Their song titles and lyrical content are equally cheeky: “Reptar Stomp,” “Questions My Mom Asks Me,” “Indo Bored,” and “Nike Don’t Surf” are just a few.

Both UCSC grads, Tyler Engel and Joey Parks grew up together in San Pedro; they met Juliana Mireles in 2013, while working at a bourgie country-club restaurant. “She told me that she loved metal music and only played drums with a double-bass pedal,” Engel recalled. “I laughed in her face. Like, I actually laughed, in her face.”

JULY 20-26, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dickless Juli shows are energetic, unpredictable and cathartic. The band celebrated Pride 2015 in Dolores Park, where they dragged all of their equipment, including a generator, to play a three-hour set to a crowd of 200 people. Audience members joined them onstage to sing Jimi Hendrix covers.

34

A photo taken during a house show on Bay Street is the cover for their debut album, H.A.R.D. (as in, “Has A Real Dick”). “At the end of that show I was dripping sweat,” Juli says. “It was so hot in there. People were moshing, all the doors and windows were closed ’cause they didn’t want the cops to get called. We started late after Joey locked my keys in my car; I had set up my drums, but hadn’t gotten my sticks out. He got a friend to jimmy the window, but I was so mad at him.”

WEDNESDAY 7/20 COUNTRY

TREVOR MCSPADDEN Texas-born singer-songwriter Trevor McSpadden is a country crooner whose throwback sound blends his Lone Star dancehall roots with the grit of time spent in Chicago’s nightclubs and the newfound West Coast perspective. The result is a sound that is smooth, weathered and heartfelt, as McSpadden winds tales of home, broken hearts and lover’s arms down a well-worn musical path made familiar by honky-tonk and classic country greats. Also on the bill: local singer-songwriter McCoy Tyler.

THURSDAY 7/21 TRADITIONAL BALKAN

EVA SALINA & PETER STAN Eva Salina is a renowned singer and

teacher of traditional Balkan music. Her accordion accompanist Peter Stan is from Romania, but the two musicians cut their teeth in the Balkan diaspora of New York City’s Roma communities.

Their performances offer a range of emotion, from mournful ballads to lively and sensual compositions that seamlessly weave Eva’s rich voice with Peter’s playful and intuitive improvisations, staying true to the intricate expression inherent to traditional Eastern European music.

FRIDAY 7/22 POST-PUNK

PSYCHEDELIC FURS AND THE CHURCH Anyone looking for their fix of ’80s dreary college rock nostalgia would be hard-pressed to find a better touring package this year. Most folks know the Psychedelic Furs from their song “Pretty in Pink,” both as inspiration for and the most famous song from the John Hughes

movie of the same name. But the Furs were responsible for one of the best albums of the ’80s, Forever Now, a melding of post-punk, goth lyrics and British pop. Australia’s the Church pulled from a similar pool of influences, but experimented more with psychedelic soundscapes. Their hit in the U.S. was 1988’s “Under the Milky Way.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $38/door. 429-4135.

FOLK

CHUCK BRODSKY Modern-day troubadour Chuck Brodsky has been a quiet favorite of the contemporary folk scene for decades.

With warmth, wit, unusual melodies and tight guitar chops, he tells stories of everyday people, political leaders and, one of his favorite and recurring themes, baseball. Joining the Philadelphia-born Brodsky are local standouts singer-songwriter Sherry Austin and lap steel virtuoso Patti Maxine.

Her last album came out a couple of years ago, Tattooed Lady & The Alligator Man, but she’s never relied on a new release for set list. Ball returns to town with a killer band featuring bassist Don Bennett, drummer Corey Keller, tenor saxophonist Eric Bernhardt, and guitar-

TUESDAY 7/26 MOVING UNITS Dance-punk was all the rage a decade ago, an era that yielded groups like Franz Ferdinand, the Rapture, and Interpol. Of course dance-punk is just a clever way of saying, “influenced by Joy Division.” One of the lesser-known early adopters of the dance-punk revival was L.A.’s Moving Units, a band that started all the way back in 2001. It didn’t get the album sales or the critical praise some of the other groups got, but it has stayed true to sound, and continue to release music. Appropriately, they are currently doing a Joy Division tribute tour, which comes to Santa Cruz on Tuesday. Anyone that loves first wave and/or second wave Joy Division should definitely come out.

Right now, the most exciting thing happening musically in Los Angeles is the new wave of American Latin-rock bands. These are groups playing punk, ska, alt-rock, goth, everything—and La Santa Cecilia is one of the best. The band’s sound is rooted in traditional Latin rhythms—Bolero, cumbia, Ranchera—along with soul and rock ’n’ roll. But what makes La Santa Cecilia so great is the sheer joy emanating from the music. It grooves while staying mellow, and it just makes you feel good with every listen, whether you’re dancing or sipping on a glass of whiskey. AC

land-based roots rocker with a 20-year catalog of music ranging from hard rock to country folk. Viciconte’s most recent album, Radio, combines psychedelic electric sitar, 12-string guitars, and mandolin. REM’s Peter Buck played guitar on eight of the album’s 11 tracks; Buck also produced the Jayhawks’ most recent album, Paging Mr. Proust. KS

Shakespeare’s beloved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the tale of four young Athenians caught in a love quadrangle. One of the Bard’s most popular works, the play is full of magic, fairies, misunderstanding, thespians, and, of course, love. If it’s been awhile since your last encounter with Shakespeare, this is a fantastic, family-friendly production to reintroduce yourself and to support a centerpiece of Santa Cruz community theater. Now in its third year as an independent nonprofit and with more than $1 million raised for a new outdoor theater, the future for Santa Cruz Shakespeare looks bright, indeed. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

ODD FELLOWS UNION Viggo Mortensen and company in ‘Captain Fantastic.’

Plastic ‘Fantastic’ JULY 20-26, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Captain Fantastic’ is too perfectly imperfect BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

40

B

erkeley-raised writer and director Matt Ross stays true to his roots with Captain Fantastic—which will surely seem a deep movie in that city (and Santa Cruz, as well), thanks to its spirit of political grievance, its mottos, and its fantasy of chucking it all to head for the redwoods. (It’s firs and pines, actually; set in Washington state, the film is shot in Canada.)

In the film’s opening scene, we see a many-pronged buck peeking through a thicket—so peaceful and serene that you know it’s all over for the deer.

Hiding, face painted with camouflage, young Bo (short for Bodevan, and played by George MacKay) pops out

and stabs it in the throat.

Butchering the out-of-season deer, Bo’s father Ben (Viggo Mortensen) solemnly anoints his eldest son’s forehead with the blood, giving him a tidbit of raw liver to eat: “The boy is gone. In his place is a man.”

The patriarch has been raising his bustling family of six semidifferentiated children in the woods; the kids include a set of blond twin boys, as per a ’60s sitcom. They live off-grid in a jumble of buildings and a schoolbus, playing music around the campfire by night. In the mornings, they’re rousted by “Reveille,” pumped from bagpipes to make it sound worse. They read important books,

practice martial arts and climb rocks—it’s a mix of Outward Bound and the Swiss Family Robinson.

What of the woman who mothered these kids—she, who in defiance of the environmentalism flaunted here, added this platoon to an overpopulated world? She has gone to where my own mom of five said we children were sending her: straight to the madhouse.

Her timely suicide spurs a road trip to confront the angry in-laws, who are hosting the funeral in New Mexico.

Meanwhile, Bo has a secret. Though he was homeschooled, his mail box is stuffed with acceptance letters from every Ivy League college on the Eastern Seaboard.

Captain Fantastic gives the sense of a movie set in the 1970s but updated to the present, for budgetary reasons.

Under the Sundance-ian stylings— “Little Miss Sunshine goes prepper!”— there’s a whiff of mold to this script.

After adventures on the road, Ben and his clan get a cold welcome from the grandfather, Jack (Frank Langella) who has called in the police to bar Ben and his brood from the funeral.

I’ve been watching Langella with pleasure for a half a century, but he proves the old rule: play Dracula and you won’t come back. Black clad and stern, he’s the counter-cultural nightmare. Seeing Ben in his thrift shop-bought funeral attire, a scarlet polyester number, Jack growls: “A hippie in a clown suit.”

Is Jack wrong? Actor turned director Ross (he’s the Hooli CEO from TV’s Silicon Valley) uses Ben and his pack as a way of flagellating a greedy and obese nation. If only he’d made these Spartan kids less like supermen—made them a little more damaged. Their jam sessions are always in sync; if the script bemoans TV watchers, these musical scenes resemble The Partridge Family.

One actress stands out, aside from Kathryn Hahn, as Ben’s sister in law, an unheeded voice of common sense.

At a trailer park, the movie gets a brief spark from the mocking teenage Claire (Erin Moriarty). She brings out the funny side of Bo’s plight—the problem of learning from books. Since Bo is full of the Victorian novels he’s absorbed, he expects that a casual kiss must be followed by a wordy, kneeling marriage proposal.

As for Mortensen—he’s far from the soft-spoken, cowboy-movie intensity he brought to Lord of the Rings. He recalls critic Clive Davis’ description of a certain Shakespearean actor: “He played the part with an intensity that made you wish he hadn’t.” Ross is enthralled with this dictatorial crank, even posing him under a CG waterfall.

Both ’60s kook and Chingachgook, Ben is insufferably right all the time.

Ross is so adoring of his character’s fantasticness that he practically has the camera up Viggo’s nose.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC With Viggo Mortensen, George Mackay, Frank Langella and Erin Moriarty. Written and directed by Matt Ross. Rated R. 118 mins.

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE 3D Fri-Tue 11:55, 5:30

41

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE Two icons of British comedy take their hit TV show of the same name to the big screen with even more style and sass to pave the way. The ever-crass, evercocky Edina and Patsy start out by accidentally knocking Kate Moss into the Thames. Maddie Fletcher directs. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks costar. (R) 90 minutes.

EAT THAT QUESTION: FRANK ZAPPA IN HIS OWN WORDS “Zappa has often been seen to be a force of cultural darkness, bearded and gross and filthy, entirely obscene, a Mephistophelian figure serving as a lone brutal reminder of music’s potential for invoking chaos and destruction.”

That’s what Time magazine said about Frank Zappa, now see what Zappa has to say on the subject of himself. Thorsten Schütte directs.

Frank Zappa, Steve Allen, and Angel co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

JULY 20-26, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE Considering it’s been fourteen years since the first one came out, it might be time for the Ice Age franchise to come to an end. How exactly do you fight off a meteor anyway? Galen T. Chu and Mike Thurmeier direct. Stephanie Beatriz, Robert Cardone, Neil deGrasse Tyson co-star. (PG) 94 minutes.

42

LIGHTS OUT Basically, it’s all mom’s fault. David F. Sandberg directs. Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, and Maria Bello co-star.

(PG-13) 81 minutes.

STAR TREK: BEYOND Eyebrows.

Space. That guy from Harold and Kumar. Explosions. More eyebrows.

Space explosions! Justin Lin directs. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

NOW PLAYING CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week

the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM. THE BFG Roald Dahl’s classic BFG brought to the screen with Mark Rylance as the beloved vegetarian giant. Steven Spielberg directs.

Rebecca Hall and Bill Hader costar. (PG) 117 minutes.

CAFÉ SOCIETY Classic elegant nostalgia from Woody Allen, right down to the semi-awkward, semialluring cast and a love triangle with an OK-looking dude (Jesse Eisenberg, who may just be the quintessential Allen lead) and ridiculously good-looking females, this time dancing between 1930s Hollywood glamour and New York gangsterdom. Kristen Stewart looks to be at her best, but as one online reviewer put it: “Her part required some aloofness and mystery and she did a good job, whether because she is a good actress or because her range is limited.” Woody Allen directs.

Steve Carell co-stars. (PG-13) 96 minutes.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Reviewed this issue. (R) 118 minutes.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE An overweight high-school kid with braces singing “Never Gonna Get It” grows into the Rock we all know and love (he saves puppies in real life, guys), who’s joined the CIA. Poor Kevin Hart keeps ending up in long, involved car rides where the driver is way better equipped to handle the situation than he is.

Rawson Marshall Thurber directs.

Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danielle Nicolet co-star. (PG-13) 114 minutes.

THE CONJURING 2 Lorraine and Ed, crosses turning upside down, murder, suicide, both, whatever.

We can’t tell you what the first one was about because certain film blurb writers are too afraid of scary movies to watch them with the sound on—or, like, at all.

But, chances are that if you’re up for watching the second one you probably liked the first one and IMDB gives it 9.1 stars out of ten,

so those are all good signs for fans of horror films and paranormal investigators. James Wan directs.

Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Madison Wolfe co-star. (R) 143 minutes.

FINDING DORY There are no words, only happy squeals of joy.

Now go find that fish! Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane direct.

HUNT FOR THE WILDER PEOPLE Ricky was raised on hip-hop and foster care and is adorably defiant.

He’s pure hip-hop, or at least that’s how he sees himself, so when he decides to run away into the New Zealand brush, he’s all gangsta kangaroo and stuff.

(PG) 90 minutes.

THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks. That’s a joke. Still, an updating of way-out-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably inevitable.

Jaume Collet-Serra directs. Óscar Jaenada and Brett Cullen co-star.

(PG-13) 87 minutes.

SWISS ARMY MAN Paul Dano tries to hang himself on a beach, when at the last minute he sees Daniel Radcliffe washed up on the shore.

How Nut Kreations’ bold flavor experimentation is building them a sweet and savory empire BY STEVE PALOPOLI

I

’m standing next to Craig Olsen’s pralinator, and I’m pretty into it.

It’s a Saturday afternoon, and Olsen, who owns Nut Kreations with his wife Tami, is cooking up a batch of Bailey’s roasted almonds right up by the front window of the store.

He pours a mixture of brown sugar, water and cinnamon onto the nuts in the pralinator—a shiny, midsize industrial machine for caramelizing in the kitchen—and as he brings it to a boil, the almonds hardening as the moisture around them evaporates, he pours in the Bailey’s Irish Cream. I’m marveling at this pralinator, which costs thousands of dollars and doesn’t

so much as scratch the nuts as it cooks their candy shells on with military precision. I get it, I think to myself.

This is the secret weapon, the Death Star of nut entrepreneurship.

But oh, how little I understand.

Because just a couple of minutes later, Olsen points a few feet away to his real secret weapon, which is a fraction the size of the pralinator, made of plastic, and costs about 15 bucks at Target.

“That fan is one of my biggest things,” Olsen says of the little oscillating portable near the store entrance. “I blow the smell out the door. This is my marketing. I’ve had people say they were like six blocks

down, and they just followed their nose all the way into the front door.

It just works.”

I can understand why it does.

There’s something about the smell of roasting nuts; standing next to Olsen’s current batch, my olfactory senses are generating a bizarre Christmas-inJuly scenario for my brain that makes me feel warm all over—although the pralinator does cook to 400 degrees, so maybe this isn’t entirely psychological.

More than that, though, is the promise of flavor I haven’t experienced. For me, that’s huge. You know when you’re walking by a bag of potato chips in the supermarket

with some janky new flavor like “habanero maple pizza crunch,” and you’re thinking, “Who would even try that?” The answer is me. I would try that, at least once.

Olsen is my flavor-seeking soulmate, I can tell. Not just because his store is full of all kinds of crazy flavor permutations already, but because he’s up in this window cooking every weekend and Wednesday afternoon, looking for the next great taste.

“A lot of this has been experimenting,” he admits. “I love to cook, so part of this for me is I’m passionate about it and I want to see if something works or not. The only way to figure out if it works is you’ve got to just do it. And then we do tastes. So we’ll do something new, we’ll put it in taster cups, and I’ll send somebody out on the corner to get feedback on it.”

There are moments of uncertainty for sure—he still isn’t totally convinced he got the right amount of ginger in the honey ginger pecans, and he’s got the sriracha cashews on the verge of being declared a biological weapon trying to make them spicy enough for the heat freaks.

But it’s all paying off, especially since James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina started picking up his product for 49ers home games.

That’s led to a lot of mail orders, but his third-party business is expanding, too. Nut Kreations is in demand at resorts and hotels like Ventana in Big Sur, and Chaminade, Seascape Resort, and Hotel Paradox locally. They’re at the Del Mar and Nickelodeon, the Rio Theatre, beer places from Oakland’s Good Hop to Soquel’s Beer Thirty, and even Los Angeles movie sets, thanks to directors and producers discovering Nut Kreations at Beverly Hills yoga studios.

Then there are my fellow flavor hounds, like the guy who first suggested to Olsen that he do the Bailey’s roasted almonds we cooked (and which turned out amazing, like the holidays on a sugar high).

“He was amazed that I did it,” says Olsen. “Now he and his wife, they call me to make sure I have it before they come to the store. And they buy a couple of pounds at a time. They’re serious about it.”

Shrub it Off Drinking vinegars make a comeback for field-to-glass cocktails BY LILY STOICHEFF

I

am part of a tribe of people that uses an apothecarian collection of vinegars for more than just dressing greens or making pickles. We drink it. It may seem unappealing at first, but the mildly sweet, tangy jolt is addictive. A healthy glug of amber apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the afternoon is crazy refreshing—like instant grown-up lemonade without all the sugar.

But if that seems a little intense, don’t worry—I still think the best way to enjoy an invigorating kick of acid is in shrub form. These oddly named drinking vinegars have a long history, though they fell out of favor in the modern era. Now, they’re enjoying a revival among bartenders, farmers and all of their patrons and friends. The concentrated mixers are made by pulling the juice from fresh fruit and citrus with sugar, and cooking it in vinegar, which cuts the sweetness of the fruit and preserves the cordial. Take this concoction, pour it over ice and top it with soda water for the most elegant summer cooler you can imagine.

Shrubs are still a little hard to come by unless you’re making them

yourself, so I was thrilled to discover several versions at the Serendipity Organic Farms booth at the Live Oak farmers market. Owner Jamie Collins provides her organic fruit and herbs to field-to-glass cocktail queen Katie Blandin Shea of Bar Cart Cocktail Co. to create delicious botanical elixirs, like my favorite: a blueberry shrub with white sage, lime zest and white wine vinegar ($12 for an eight-ounce bottle). This lapis lazuli-colored shrub is not too sweet, its creamy berry flavor offset by delicate earthy sage. It pairs perfectly with equal parts Venus Spirits’ Gin Blend No. 1, soda and late-afternoon sunshine. A strawberry, chamomile and orange zest version with apple cider vinegar is also available, and Collins revealed that she and Blandin Shea will continue to collaborate on different combinations as the seasons change.

Another exciting opportunity to enter the world of shrubbery (Ni!) is at Mountain Feed & Farm Supply’s Summer Shrub Party, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Friday, July 22. Emily Han, author of Wild Drinks & Cocktails, will be teaching a free workshop on making shrubs from fresh produce and herbs.

his estate-bottled Chardonnay 2013 is totally produced by Zayante Vineyards—the grapes are grown on their land, the wine is bottled on the premises—and winery owners Greg Nolten and Kathleen Starkey-Nolton are fastidious about getting everything just right. The luscious flavors of the Chardonnay on the palate are highlighted by toasty oak and a slight flinty complexity from the soil. Beautiful aromas of crisp green apples and pears make this wine very refreshing and drinkable, “reminiscent of a fine French white burgundy.”

“Our exclusively estate-grown wines are produced from naturally farmed grapes,” say the Noltens.

“Our philosophy is that only the finest grapes produce the finest wine. We go out of our way to ensure we grow the finest grapes possible.”

So what you’re getting here for about $18 is a delicious Chardonnay from a small family-owned winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. You can find it all over in liquor stores and supermarkets.

Zayante Vineyards is open by appointment and for the quarterly Passport event (the next dates being Nov. 19 & 20). They can also be found every Tuesday from 2:30-6:30 p.m.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LABORS OF HERCULES— FROM CANCER TO LEO Each of the 12 signs provides humanity with a task, a specific labor, which helps humanity recognize and step upon the Path of Return. Humanity, in the Labors, is represented by Hercules, the son of God who is also the son of man (Sanskrit for the “thinking ones”—all of humanity at this time). As Hercules enters upon each sign, he faces trials and continuous tests. Each lifetime, as each sign represents, certain tasks and tests are completed. As this occurs, Hercules is flooded with understanding, his sight is widened, his mind illumined, love gathers in his heart.

The 12 petals of the heart open and Hercules finally, the world disciple, enters the Rain Cloud of Knowable Things. Here intuition and pure love reside. Each sign’s labor is different building one upon the other.

In Hercules’ Fourth Labor (Cancer), Hercules must have wisdom, obedience of the heart and

discernment which allows him to choose rightly. This particular task is important to understand. The world situation is demanding that we, too, make “right” choice between the dual realities offered us. Our choice determines our future.

From the “Labor of Cancer” we read, “The Great Presiding One within Shamballa asked the Teacher: ‘Where is the son of man, who is the son of God? How fares he, how is he being tested and with what service is he now engaged?’ We say; ‘Our world is engaged in war now, O Teacher.’”

After Cancer’s fourth Labor comes Leo’s fifth Labor. “Let Hercules burnish bright his shield. Let him prepare. Hercules must have courage strong. He is to seek the Temple of the Lord. But first he must rest from the last labor, resting at the fifth Gate. Afraid yet not afraid. Alone yet not alone.” (to be continued)

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The full moon created a challenge between home and profession, bringing that duality to light so you could integrate both realities. Polarization, duality can be a source of difficulty, pulling one in two different directions.

Visualize, imagine and plan for a synthesis of the two worlds, bringing them into a harvest of light. As you lead others, have both willingness and love, or leadership fails.

So much is in flux, with less and less knowable direction.

As you change, your home life transforms. You always focus on bringing forth beauty, order and organization to all environments. Notice if your thoughts and beliefs are changing, too. If you feel obstructed in any way, look around. There’s something important to see. Be kind in all your interactions, especially with family.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You’re emerging as a teacher. The Cancer/Cap full moon is a time when the Teacher is recognized and gratitude given. The Dalai Lama said we were to rejoice in the Teacher (and the teachings). What teachers blessed you with goodness so you gained knowledge? Thank them.

You are to become greater than your teachers. The student is always to surpass the teacher—the student’s spiritual task.

There’s an ongoing question concerning resources, money and finances. This, at times, causes anxiety.

It’s good to communicate about these things.

Communicating expands awareness and calms reactions to what seems like continual change. You continually feel the need to create a hopeful philosophy of life. Paring down expenses allows for emerging new and unusual resources (and imaginative thoughts) to appear.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You’re to be sensitive to impressions from greater realms (Venus and the starry realms) so you can understand more deeply the ancient mysteries. What concerned you prior to the Cancer festival and full moon is forgotten. Venus, Gemini’s Soul ruler, asks you to list your values (things, events, people, creatures, behaviors, facts, plans, teachers, etc.). As you see your values in words a greater self-identity emerges.

It’s good to follow the advice about finances for Scorpio. A transformation is occurring, inner and outer, concerning resources and values. This is an important time when you think deeply on how you want to improve upon how you are in relationships. Notice your moods. From heights of achievement and authority to lack of confidence. These are normal behaviors for everyone in times of transition. The right time, place, direction, knowing appears.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

To figure out what’s truly important, we often have to observe our daily routines. What is routine this week and month and how do these routines help define you? What helps you decide what to accomplish each day? Do you provide yourself with the same nurturance, safety and security you provide others? Careful with communication.

You may not be able to hear yourself clearly.

Careful driving, communicating and doing things that demand a focused mind. Neptune is refining your thinking. At first veils seem to drop over your eyes. Then your mind feels empty or confused. Then there are bursts of creativity, visions of new worlds. You will want to communicate these things. This is normal behavior for Neptune. You might have thoughts of attending church or praying more. For healing and for beauty.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Allow yourself time away from work and responsibilities.

Give yourself time to use your imagination. Allow yourself to play. These soothe, comfort and create a sense of care that sometimes you seek from others.

Work continues to be quite transformative and in-depth. Prepare yourself each day with proper foods and exercise so weariness doesn’t set in. Are you remembering your father?

Tend carefully to your money. Know where it is at all times.

Also, consider yourself valuable in all ways. You’re the new culture’s hero(ine), artists for the coming times, its creative spirit, dream and vision. Have confidence in all that you do, think and say. Build community whenever, wherever you can.

You bring forth for others new and different perspectives. Be very disciplined with money, finances and resources.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Your mind is always filled with new ideas and plans, detailed organizing that others never consider. So much about you is inspired. Recognize this with delight. Virgo’s ability to discern, organize and tend to things in detail are deeply creative gifts. Eliminate all that’s not needed in your home. Reimagine your home. Offer loving care to those around you. Your heart is touched by Jupiter.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Home is your Vestal light, your refuge, place of freedom and creativity. Carry out daily tasks of nurturance rhythmically.

With Neptune in Pisces, your nervous system needs a protective enclosure. This means a home and garden of one’s own. If sounds are disturbing, take Aconite, calcium and magnesium. Some Pisces need an actual home. Pisces need the deepest care of all the signs. You want to return home again. Pray for and visualize what you need.

With their selection of cheeses, pickles, anchovies, capers, green peppercorns, olive oils and vinegars, it reminds me of a European-style market. Although Shopper’s seems small, I’m amazed at how much is here, including a large selection of products that are just fun. I think they have a little more awareness of good food than others markets. I like that the staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable here, more than any other place. There’s always someone around to help you; they’ll go across the store to find products you’re looking for.

You shop here for your restaurant? Oh yeah.

Quality is the bottom line in my cooking.

Shopper’s meat department is great. The butchers are terrific and super knowledgeable about their cuts, and I know the meats have been treated really well. They have a large variety which I love because we change our cuisine and menu monthly. I call it post-fusion. We dive into regions from all over the world. Shopper’s organic produce has better quality and pricing than the farmers markets. I like to know where my food comes from for numerous reasons. I try to avoid products which were shipped in massive containers. Local is where it’s at.

What would you say about Shopper’s to a new community resident? To me, Shopper’s is representative of the greater Santa Cruz area. They seem to honor better quality ingredients here, which creates a sense of nostalgia for a style of good cooking. The vibe I get from customers here is that they’ve shopped at Shopper’s their entire life.

It definitively feels like the happening store plus it’s the first place of employment for many of their employees. It’s been here since 1938 — that’s awesome! This is the place for good wine, great bourbons, and so many fine ports — I’ve had to ask for help. We most buy most of our cooking liquors here because of the quality and variety.
