OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE I’ve ripped down and remade my share of front pages, but in all my years at Santa Cruz weeklies, I don’t remember ever bumping the cover story of the week to pay tribute to someone in the community who had passed away. It’s just not the nature of newsweeklies, where you only get 52 front pages a year, and stories are tightly scheduled, often with only a short window of time in which they can run. But then, Jack O’Neill certainly liked to be the exception to the rule, didn’t he? Even when we first started discussing what kind of story we would do on Friday, we weren’t necessarily thinking of putting the story on the cover. But

I’d like to make a correction to the wonderful story written by Geoffrey Dunn about Antoniette “Akoni” Swan (GT, 5/3). While I do appreciate Geoffrey describing me as affable and informative (and hope that’s accurate), I am not, as stated in the article, the owner of Santa Cruz Memorial Park cemetery. I do own the on-site mortuary, which is a tenant of the cemetery, and that may have led to the error. Santa Cruz Memorial Park is a nonprofit community service organization governed by a Board of Trustees, of which I am a member. Santa Cruz Memorial Park was founded in 1862 by the local Odd Fellows Lodge, a fraternal organization dedicated to serving the community. In fact, the cemetery and Lodge are two of the oldest organizations in the county, pre-dating the incorporation of the City by almost half a decade. I’d like to thank Geoffrey, a gifted writer and local boy, for writing this important and informative article, and the Good Times for publishing it. I’d like to also thank Kyle Gilmore for making it his mission to honor and remember
as the impact of his passing really sunk in, it became more and more obvious that that’s exactly what we needed to do. The issue isn’t even out yet, and I’m already enjoying the thought of O’Neill’s eye-patched, bushy face and wry smile staring out at Santa Cruz from hundreds of GT racks. Seems right. I’m struck, too, by the difference between this story and the one we ran a month or so ago about local poet Peter McLaughlin. Though also celebratory, Pete’s story had a very tragic side. I don’t feel that at all with Jacob Pierce’s piece this week. Jack O’Neill lived to be 94, died of natural causes and left a legacy that people around the world are going to remember as long as there are surfers on the breaks. We should all be so lucky. Here’s to Jack.

Antoniette “Akoni” Swan with a memorial monument where her story can be written, never again to be forgotten.

BEFORE YOU YIMBY It was good to see two articles focusing on the key issues of housing and increased density that is proposed along major corridors (GT, 5/24, 5/31). However, it seems to me that a critical question was missing from the discussion: whether or not, or how much, such development will truly bring prices down and make Santa Cruz more affordable. As someone who has made Santa Cruz my home for over 16 years, and now lives with the fear of being priced out, I feel very personally the need for more affordable housing. However, I am dubious of the often-repeated claim that we can build enough housing to bring the prices down substantially. What works in other cities may not play out the same way here, where many renters and buyers >8

If you chose me as your relationship guide, I’d counsel you and your closest ally to be generous with each other; to look for the best in each other and praise each other’s beauty and strength. If you asked me to help foster your collaborative zeal, I’d encourage you to build a shrine in honor of your bond—an altar that would invoke the blessings of deities, nature spirits, and the ancestors. If you hired me to advise you on how to keep the fires burning and the juices flowing between you two, I’d urge you to never compare your relationship to any other, but rather celebrate the fact that it’s unlike any other in the history of the planet.
Do you have your visa for the wild side? Have you packed your bag of tricks? I hope you’ll bring gifts to dispense, just in case you’ll need to procure favors in the outlying areas where the rules are a bit loose. It might also be a good idea to take along a skeleton key and a snake-bite kit. You won’t necessarily need them. But I suspect you’ll be offered magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a shame to have to turn them down simply because you’re unprepared for the unexpected.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 The Milky Way galaxy contains more than 100 billion stars. If they were shared equally, every person on Earth could have dominion over at least 14. I mention this because you’re in a phase when it makes sense for you to claim your 14. Yes, I’m being playful, but I’m also quite serious. According to my analysis of the upcoming weeks, you will benefit from envisaging big, imaginative dreams about the riches that could be available to you in the future. How much money do you want? How much love can you express? How thoroughly at home in the world could you feel? How many warm rains would you like to dance beneath? How much creativity do you need to keep reinventing your life? Be extravagant as you fantasize.
GEMINI May21–June20 “When I grow up, I’m not sure what I want to be.” Have you ever heard that thought bouncing around your mind, Gemini? Or how about this one: “Since I can’t decide what I want to be, I’ll just be everything.” If you have been tempted to swear allegiance to either of those perspectives, I suggest it’s time to update your relationship with them. A certain amount of ambivalence about commitment and receptivity to myriad possibilities will always be appropriate for you. But if you hope to fully claim your birthright, if you long to ripen into your authentic self, you’ll have to become ever-more definitive and specific about what you want to be and do.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 As a Cancerian myself, I’ve had days when I’ve stayed in bed from morning to nightfall, confessing my fears to my imaginary friends and eating an entire cheesecake. As an astrologer, I’ve noticed that these blue patches seem more likely to occur during the weeks before my birthday each year. If you go through a similar blip any time soon, here’s what I recommend: Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t resist it. Instead, embrace it fully. If you feel lazy and depressed, get really lazy and depressed. Literally hide under the covers with your headphones on and feel sorry for yourself for as many hours as it takes to exhaust the gloom and emerge renewed.

In the early days of the internet, “sticky” was a term applied to websites that were good at drawing readers back again and again. To possess this quality, a content provider had to have a knack for offering text and images that web surfers felt an instinctive yearning to bond with. I’m reanimating this term so I can use it to describe you. Even if you don’t have a website, you now have a soulful adhesiveness that arouses people’s urge to merge. Be discerning how you use this stuff. You may be stickier than you realize!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Ancient Mayans used chili and magnolia and vanilla to prepare exotic chocolate drinks from cacao beans. The beverage was sacred and prestigious to them. It was a centerpiece of cultural identity and an accessory in religious rituals. In some locales, people were rewarded for producing delectable chocolate with just the right kind and amount of froth. I suspect, Virgo, that you will soon be asked to do the equivalent of demonstrating your personal power by whipping up the best possible chocolate froth. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, the chances are good you’ll succeed.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You’re like a prince or princess who has been turned into a frog by the spell of a fairy tale villain. This situation has gone on for a while. In the early going, you retained a vivid awareness that you had been transformed. But the memory of your origins has faded, and you’re no longer working so diligently to find a way to change back into your royal form. Frankly, I’m concerned. This horoscope is meant to remind you of your mission. Don’t give up! Don’t lose hope! And take extra good care of your frogself, please.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 People might have ideas about you that are at odds with how you understand yourself. For example, someone might imagine that you have been talking trash about them—even though you haven’t been. Someone else may describe a memory they have about you, and you know it’s a distorted version of what actually happened. Don’t be surprised if you hear even more outlandish tales, too, like how you’re stalking Taylor Swift or conspiring with the One World Government to force all citizens to eat kale every day. I’m here to advise you to firmly reject all of these skewed projections. For the immediate future, it’s crucial to stand up for your right to define yourself—to be the final authority on what’s true about you.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein. In response, another Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend that you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection, and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Lysistrata is a satire by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta. The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires. I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River, and any others you can dream up.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Take your seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly. And unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s probably best to just get naked. You WILL get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely. You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there that you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months—maybe longer.

come from the larger San Jose area and its high-paying job market. We need to be honest with ourselves that any new development will have negative impacts on neighborhoods. Your article touts the community benefits that might come with higher density, such as newer traffic signals and other changes “to make the traffic flow smoother.” Yet it’s hard for me to believe that in neighborhoods which are already heavily congested, we could add hundreds of new residents and still end up with less traffic. While it is certainly possible to achieve that goal, it would require a much greater
commitment and investment in public transit and bike-ped infrastructure than anyone is seriously talking about. More frightful still, in my mind, is the likelihood that we would approve these substantial changes to the character of our town based on the premise of fixing the housing crisis, and in the end almost all of the new units will still be out of reach to the people who need it most. For me to say “yes in my backyard,” I’ll need a much stronger commitment to housing the people who are already here. STEVE SCHNAAR | SANTA CRUZ

NEWS BACKWARD SLIDE Amid landslides and setbacks, Big Sur’s Henry Miller Library announces new location
JUNE 7-13, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY BRENDAN BANE

First came the fire. The wildfire that ripped through Big Sur for 82 days, from July through October of 2016, not only tore up the Los Padres National Forest—costing the state $236 million—it also quickly prompted Big Sur’s Henry Miller Library to cancel its shows. The library, a favorite hangout spot for many Santa Cruzans, was eventually shut down and evacuated, as were many towns in the area. The rainy winter hardly provided a reprieve as landslides routinely cut off Highway 1. After the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge shifted, the library closed its doors. CalTrans has since torn that Highway 1 bridge down, and construction on its replacement has just begun. “We immediately lost $50,000 the day the bridge fell,” said Magnus Toren, executive director of the Henry Miller Library. The bulk of the library’s revenue stems from booking private events, says Toren— all of which were immediately cancelled upon the February closure. Today, Toren says losses may have climbed close to $100,000, although a GoFundMe campaign has recouped roughly $42,000. The Henry Miller Library, known for the quirky slogan “Where Nothing Happens,” is essentially a nonprofit bookstore, with lots of art and an expansive patio and lawn for lounging. The library is a beloved pit stop for many traveling along Highway 1, including visitors from Santa Cruz. Alex Johnston, a UCSC film scholar, routinely visits the library with his wife, Kit Rutter. Whether enjoying a coffee on the lawn or an intimate concert under the stars, Johnston says the library is the perfect spot to unwind. “It’s a really nice, no-pressure place with a couple fat cats that always hang around,” says Johnston, who was upset when he first read of the library’s temporary closure. “It’s terrible. We have so few of these holdover spaces from a different period in California’s history, from a moment when California wasn’t just Silicon Valley.” Around this time of year, says Toren, the library would reliably receive “thousands” of visitors. Today, would-be >14

Spying Times Lawsuit takes aim at Silicon Valley’s complicity in oppression BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH
D
espite a narrow escape from police during his last visit, Charles Lee returned to his native China on Jan. 22, 2003, to relay a message that would cost him the next three years of his life. The physician—a newly naturalized U.S. citizen who lived in Menlo Park at the time—spent more than a year rehearsing the proclamation he would deliver by hacking into a state-run television broadcast. He wanted to tell viewers about the Communist Party’s brutal persecution of the Falun Gong, a quasi-spiritual movement outlawed in 1999 as an “evil cult.” Instead, Lee walked straight into the arms of his captors.
Public security officers told him that they knew of his impending arrival, he says, and arrested him as soon as he stepped off the plane. Until his release in 2006, Lee says, he endured torture, forced labor and attempts to brainwash him into rejecting the beliefs that rendered him a political target. But the spyware that ostensibly helped party officials zero in on him and thousands of other Falun Gong practitioners wasn’t created in China. Rather, the censorship and surveillance system—dubbed the Golden Shield—was crafted and custom-built in his adopted homeland, at the San Jose headquarters of Cisco Systems.
Lee is one of the lead plaintiffs in a class-action claim accusing Cisco of designing software, hardware and training to help China’s ruling party persecute Falun Gong adherents, who cultivate self-improvement through exercise and mindfulness. The lawsuit hopes to address an evolving legal question: Can American corporations be held liable if foreign governments use their product for repression? The federal district court in San Jose dismissed the case in 2014, saying Falun Gong victims—many of whom sought refugee status in the Bay Area—failed to prove that Cisco knew its product would enable oppression.

month, the plaintiffs asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to revive the allegations. Attorney Paul Hoffman, who represents the Falun Gong members, says any perfunctory research would have alerted Cisco that its surveillance technology enabled systemic persecution. For more than a decade, Human Rights Watch, the U.S. State Department and the New York Times have reported how Chinese authorities subjected the Falun Gong to torture, enslavement, organ harvesting and “re-education” through labor. Cisco shareholders raised concerns in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010, according to Hoffman’s co-counsel, Terri Marsh. The outcome of the appeal could have far-reaching impacts on how U.S. companies—and technology companies in particular—conduct business under authoritarian regimes. Although Silicon Valley touts its potential to promote human rights and democratization, it also creates tools of oppression, Hoffman notes. But at what point does a company become complicit?
“In the digital age, repressive governments do not act alone to violate human rights,” Hoffman says. “They have accomplices— including American technology companies like Cisco, as alleged by plaintiffs—with the sophistication and technical know-how that those repressive governments lack.” Cisco attorney Kathleen Sullivan cautioned the court in 2014 about the risk of holding high-tech companies liable for violations of international law simply because they provide general-purpose technologies. “If you hold that creating networking equipment and services, the same routers and the switches that are enabling everybody in this courtroom to connect across the internet today, if you hold that that technology, because it’s customized for police use, is somehow specifically directed at torture,” Sullivan argued, “I submit there’s the danger that it would take [Silicon] Valley down with it.” The Cisco case largely rests on how much the company knew when working with the Chinese Communist Party on the Golden
Shield. Marsh says Cisco went beyond merely providing routers and switches. The high-tech firm took pains to market the Golden Shield system as a way to find practitioners of Falun Gong. As proof, she points to a Cisco document leaked to reporters on the eve of a U.S. Senate human rights hearing. In the 90-page PowerPoint presentation, Cisco engineers framed the Chinese government’s crackdown on “‘Falun Gong’s evil religion and other hostiles” as a lucrative opportunity. “They use a term, douzheng, which literally translates to a persecutory campaign against a group or class of people disfavored by the Communist Party,” Marsh says. “Cisco used that term to describe the intent of this technology that they uniquely tailored for that very purpose.” There’s another important question the Cisco case could help to answer. If corporations enjoy the rights of personhood—as secured by the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC—then should they be held to the same standards of social responsibility?

FAIRE ENOUGH Back for its eighth year last weekend, the Redwood Mountain Faire at Roaring Camp in Felton broke attendance records both Saturday and Sunday. The traditionally low-key festival, awash in tie-dye, bubbles and a genuine hill-tribe vibe, had some extra drawing power in the form of headlining acts Cracker (on Saturday) and Dave and Phil Alvin (on Sunday). Cracker, for its part, straddled an interesting line between this new nationaltouring-act level and the festival’s traditional roots in homegrown local bands. “It’s good to be back in Santa Cruz County,” said lead singer David Lowery, making a point not to lump Felton in with Santa Cruz proper, as most big-name acts would do. He explained
to those who weren’t familiar with his earlier Camper Van Beethoven days that he’d lived in the area for a decade way back when. He also scored some honorary-native points by asking the Roaring Camp railroad workers in the audience if they could tell when their riders were high on mushrooms (“oh, so we got away with it, then” he mused, when they replied that they couldn’t) and telling a possibly made-up, but in any case hilarious, story about how he had just discovered that keyboardist Matt “Pistol” Stoessel’s real name is Rainbow and that Stoessel grew up “in a school bus on Ice Cream Grade.” Even GT got a namecheck of sorts, as the band played—along with a string of hits like “Low,” “Eurotrash Girl,” “Get Off This”
and “Teen Angst”—“Where Have Those Days Gone,” which features the lines “Thought I saw Thomas Pynchon at the end of the bar/No, that’s just Rob Brezsny writing his Real Astrology column.” The festival, which is volunteer-run and raises money for the local nonprofits that share the staffing and production duties, had its growing pains this year, too. There were sound problems on both days; I didn’t see the Alvin brothers’ set, but Cracker at least weathered them admirably. One band, Sunday’s La Inedita from Peru, didn’t show up—no one quite seems to know where they disappeared to, but Jesse Daniel and the Slow Learners covered on the main stage, while the Coffis Brothers, who had done their
official set on Saturday and just happened to be hanging out at the festival on Sunday as civilians, filled in with Taylor Rae on the Creekside Stage. Rolling with the punches is the nature of the all-volunteer festival that is essentially a massive benefit, says Faire Steering Committee Member Nancy Macy. “Every year there’s somebody learning a new job,” she says of the volunteer staff. “They all go above and beyond.” While it may look from this year’s lineup like organizers are making a move to grow the Redwood Mountain Faire, Macy says that there’s no such master plan—in her experience, the festival kind of ebbs and flows organically over time. “It morphs and changes and grows,” she says.

BACKWARD SLIDE <10 patrons instead show their support through donations, which followed quickly after the closure. Although donating to the library in the midst of natural disaster may not seem like the biggest priority for some philanthropists, Toren says he’s glad so many have found artistic value in his venue. “It is very gratifying, and I hope people continue to recognize that the art in our community isn’t frivolous, that it is very necessary,” he says. Library fans like Johnston and Rutter will have to wait months before the Big Sur location reopens, as Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge is scheduled to be finished Sept. 30. Toren was among the last few allowed to cross the bridge before it was demolished.
“By the time we drove across,” says Toren, “you could actually see the guardrail starting to crack.” There are other slides too, including one south of Big Sur that could keep Highway 1 closed for a year. By no means is the Henry Miller Library the only group affected by the natural disasters. Though the some Big Sur businesses remain open, many inns and restaurants are shut down, and for stretches of time the only way in or out of the coastal mountain region was via helicopter. The Big Sur Taphouse, Big Sur Deli and Nepenthe remain open, providing some respite for locals stuck there. Sarah Shashaani, event manager for the Henry Miller Library, has been working from
home most days. Shashaani, a UCSC grad, says going into Carmel takes “a minimum two hours if everything goes to plan”— which it never seems to. “More like three,” she adds. Toren, still recovering from a recent hip surgery, says that to leave town, he must hike out of his Big Sur home down a footpath and around to the canyon’s opposing side. From there, he and his wife drive to the Library’s new satellite location, known as “the Barnyard,” which just opened May 28. In Carmel, Miller’s letters and photographs adorn the Barnyard’s walls. Dedicated supporters of the library ensured the unveiling went off with “overwhelming positivity,” says Toren, and high attendance
has persisted throughout the week thanks to a movie screening on the reintroduction of California condors to Big Sur. The already-sold-out Big Sur International Short Film Screening Series begins June 8, promising more crowds. Even in the face of natural disaster, Toren finds solace in the “blessed isolation” bestowed to southern Big Sur. The lack of auto and foot traffic has added to the local wildlife’s courage, he says, and reminds him of why he first moved there. “You go hiking in the back country and, for once, you’re actually alone,” says Toren. “For once, the shoreline birds are out en masse. For once, you can see a mountain lion walk down the highway. All those things are peculiar to this special isolation.”

n foot, via bicycle and in cars, a trail of Jack O’Neill’s friends and fans snakes past his home at 23610 East Cliff Drive on Saturday, June 3. Flowers, O’Neill hats and hand-drawn pictures decorate the sidewalk in front.
Below the cliff, surfers carve up beautifully breaking waves. But no one will bark surfing advice at them from an oceanfront patio above— something O’Neill, who died of natural causes at the age of 94 on Friday— was known for doing. Dripping-wet shortboarders climb the steps from the beach, pausing silently to admire the homage as they stroll back to their cars. The whole residential block feels eerily quiet, not just because of the somber mood, but also because of the obvious fact that Santa Cruz’s eye-patch-wearing legend, who lived for the ocean, is no longer standing watch over it. Ask most any local about O’Neill and you’ll hear words like “visionary” or “revolutionized”—plus the observations that “He really put Santa Cruz on the map” and “We wouldn’t be warm in the water without him.” Randy Hall, who’s lived in Santa Cruz since moving here with his family at age two, 65 years ago, went by O’Neill’s house last Saturday to drop off a glass vase of flowers that he left in the pebble-filled front yard, behind a faded wooden fence. “It was an exciting time in Santa Cruz, back in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and Jack was such an innovator with the wetsuit and surfing, and there was always something interesting happening with his hot air balloon that he would fly all over [Steamer] Lane,” Hall says. “It was a sleepy old retirement town before that. With his innovations in surfing, it brought in a lot of energy. He was cool, and he would drive around in his old Jaguar. You just had a feeling that Santa Cruz was a center for a lot of lifestyles that were fun and healthy. He personified the surfing attitude. It allowed for the feeling of that experience to rub off on future generations.” O’Neill was not the only one to experiment with neoprene water suits in the 1950s. But at his surf shop—first in San Francisco and then in Santa Cruz—he mastered the craft, making it his gift to the surf community. “The wetsuit changed the nature of the sport exponentially,” says local historian Geoffrey Dunn. “Whether he developed the suit or not, he popularized it and commercialized it, and it changed the sport forever. When we were young here, buying a used O’Neill wetsuit was a score. They were like drugs. I remember when I got one. It was a short john. It was a great summertime suit. Instead of staying out for an hour, you could stay out for a few.” Back in the ’50s, UC Berkeley physicist Hugh Bradner was also tinkering with neoprene and developed a similar suit, as did Bob and Bill Meistrell, two brothers in Southern California, but their designs were tailored more toward diving and not as durable. Drew Kampion, O’Neill’s biographer, says it was O’Neill who developed thicker layers of padding on various parts of the suit to make paddling easier without sacrificing warmth.

JACK O’NEILL <17 In the 1960s, the Santa Cruz Sentinel marveled at how warm those early suits were. Columnist Wally Trabing described the tight-fitting outfit as a “head-to-toe girdle that improves your figure by 20 pounds,” adding that “Once incarcerated, you feel vaguely like a can of beer that’s been all shook up.” A decade later, O’Neill was testing out an early version of the surf leash and damaged his left eye, prompting him to start wearing the eyepatch that would become a trademark for him. “And then he got the pirate look going,” says surfing historian Kim Stoner, who has a ’62 O’Neill board hanging in his living room. “That fit Jack to a tee.” O’Neill, after all, was an all-around nautical master. In addition to being a wildly successful businessman and a surfer himself, he was a sailor, a hot air balloonist and a windsurfer— not to mention an underrated bodysurfer. That pirate-like black eye patch—to go with his graying beard—would cement his image as an icon and even provide the company, which shared his name, with new logos. And when it comes to O’Neill, brand loyalty is no joke. Fans like Michael Thomas of Lodi wear O’Neill pretty much all of the time. “I have a hat, some swimsuits, shirts, flannels. My girl, she rocks a couple bikinis from O’Neill and also a couple hats. My boys, same thing— swimsuits and a few shirts, a few hats, all those styles,” Thomas said Friday night as he perused O’Neill on Pacific Avenue, with his family still reeling from the news of the man’s passing several hours earlier. “His design is going to be imprinted for another 10 or 15 years. The style’s almost immortal. You can pick up some shirts from 10 or 15 years ago, and it looks like it just came off the shelves.” Ten years ago, the style took on a life much bigger than Santa Cruz, when O’Neill sold the trademark to a European company—for more than $200 million, according to a source close to the deal. That decision spread the image and clothing logos even farther and wider. O’Neill Wetsuits, now a separate group, is still familyowned and run by Jack’s eldest son, Pat. There are only four O’Neill surf
shops, all of them local and owned by the wetsuit company. The man’s true legacy, at least as far as O’Neill himself was concerned, is in a catamaran called the O’Neill Sea Odyssey, which he helped design. Close to 94,000 students from all over the Monterey Bay, San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley have come for field trips on the 65-foot vessel to learn about marine biology and the fragility of Earth’s ecosystems. “When he looked out into the ocean, he saw a playground,” says Dan Haifley, executive director of the program. “He also saw a classroom, and he wanted to protect it.” Many of those who come to Santa Cruz for a sail are low-income students, and it is often their first time seeing the ocean. Within the next year, the Sea Odyssey plans to welcome its 100,000th student, and it’s on a fundraising campaign to celebrate that landmark. “Jack’s passing certainly is the end of an era for us. This was his vision. He started the organization, along with his son Tim,” Haifley says. “He regarded the ocean as a living entity. It has a lot of ecosystems in it. His philosophy was that the ocean is alive.” O’Neill often told people the program was the best thing he ever did. “The wetsuit is [Jack’s] commercial legacy, but I think the O’Neill Sea Odyssey is his spiritual legacy,” Dunn says. “It continues to give back to the community, and the world at large.” Many surfers remember his goodwill through the years, like his support for the local junior lifeguard program and sunscreen awareness campaigns that he sponsored. Nine years ago, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum was at risk of closing due to city budget shortfalls. O’Neill gave it enough money to survive for four months, while the Santa Cruz Surf Club kicked fundraising efforts into high gear. “He did a lot of things for the surfing community,” Stoner says, “that people didn’t know about.”
JACK O’NEILL
Jack of all Trades We asked people to tell us their stories of Jack O’Neill. Here are some highlights
When O’Neill tapped Dennis Johnson to be CEO in the 1970s, he gave Johnson free reign of daily operations, letting him do whatever he wanted— that is until O’Neill had a problem with one of his hot air balloons. “He would shut down a factory and have everyone work on his balloon” Johnson remembers. “I said, ‘Jack, what are you doing?! We have to get all this neoprene out. You know, the balloon occupied the whole factory. It was basically a giant spinnaker. And when the balloon was there, it was hard to work on anything other than that goddamn balloon.”

Randy Gray’s parents, Bill and Jimmie Jean, used to hang out with O’Neill and his first wife Marjorie when they still lived in San Francisco. They ran with a crowd that included baseball great Joe DiMaggio, Randy says. His dad and O’Neill used to surf together in the days when watermen wore wool sweaters to stay warm. (A good sweater lasted a few waves until it got wet and waterlogged, forcing surfers to paddle ashore.) Then O’Neill came up with the idea of foam suits to keep surfers comfortable, suggesting Bill take out a mortgage on his house to invest in the business. Bill politely passed on the business venture and never lived it down. Randy says, “When he got older, he laughed about that: ‘Yeah, I told Jack, You’re full of shit!’” Although he was a good sport about it, O’Neill clearly got the last laugh.

Jeff Pappas’ father Joe was O’Neill’s second employee at the Cowell Surf Shop. A longtime family friend, Pappas raves about the entrepreneur’s ability to think “three steps ahead” of everyone else. But his favorite story is a time in the early 1990s, when the two were sitting in an airport in San Diego preparing to fly home. O’Neill spotted two Catholic school girls and asked them what books they were reading. O’Neill had read all those same religious texts himself, prompting a deeply philosophical conversation before takeoff. “It was incredible how much he could communicate on so many different levels,” Pappas says. “So humble.”

Tom Ralston remembers one night he spent with O’Neill’s second eldest son, Mike, drinking at the Crow’s Nest. They finally got back around 3:30 a.m. to O’Neill’s home on East Cliff, where they were going to spend the night and where O’Neill had a trampoline that he loved using for exercise. “We were pretty lit when we went to bed,” Ralston says, “and Jack was on the trampoline at 5:30 that morning, and he was jumping on the trampoline to John Philip Sousa music.” The sound blaring marching band sounds rattled Ralston hard. To this day, he wonders if O’Neill was trying to screw with him and maybe teach him sort of lesson—maybe that “the early bird gets the worm,” Ralston says, “and if you’re going to be up until 3:30, you’re also going to pay a price.”
Suzanne Haley From her days working in the company, Suzanne Haley remembers one day O’Neill took everyone out sailing in his catamaran, departing from the Santa Cruz Harbor, en route for Monterey. As he pulled up to an end tie along the dock, the harbormaster barked that he couldn’t park there. The two men squabbled
back and forth, with O’Neill repeatedly yelling back that he was only going to be there a minute while he grabbed a quick part for his boat in the shop. Then O’Neill took the whole team out for a long, fancy lunch and ordered a few bottles of wine. “That was Jack,” Haley says.
Drew Kampion Some remember O’Neill for his fondness for a special libation. “When Bruce Brown—you know, he’s the director of The Endless Summer—would come to town, Jack would sponsor his showings. The minute Bruce arrived, the martinis would start pouring,” says Drew Kampion, who ran an advertising agency that had O’Neill’s company as a client in the 1970s. “Jack was quite the party guy and an exuberant guy.” Later when Kampion penned O’Neill’s biography, he fondly recalls sitting on O’Neill’s couch with him for hours beside giant windows, as waves rolled in around him, from the Hook to Pleasure Point. “It was such a wonderful time,” Kampion says. “He was such an authentic guy. He still is, because he will always stay and remain in the present tense and keep going no matter what anyone else does after.” The O’Neill family is asking that people send any memorial contributions in support of Jack’s love of the oceans to oneillseaodyssey.org. A group of locals is encouraging Santa Cruzans to break out their favorite O’Neill’s apparel for a citywide “Wear a Jack O’Neill Shirt Day” this Friday, June 9. The family and company are also planning a possible paddle-out in his honor.

It’s time to get things started at the Puppetry Institute of Santa Cruz BY STEVE PALOPOLI
N
ow that I get how cool the Muppets are, I wish I could say that I was a big fan of them growing up. But the truth is I never really liked puppets as a kid, and didn’t connect with the Muppets’ vaudeville-throwback shtick.
HOT TICKET
Luckily, as an adult, I now have my kid to show me the error of my ways. Starting last year, when she was six, I have watched all the seasons of The Muppet Show with my daughter Frankie—and in the case of her favorite episodes, like
the ones where the Star Wars cast or Steve Martin or Alice Cooper gueststarred, watched them dozens of times. And I have to ask myself: how could I have been so lame? The Muppets have everything—laughs, touching
moments, compelling stories, music, artistry—and under Jim Henson’s guidance, they delivered it all at a breathless pace. Somehow, it took me four decades to grasp this, while Frankie figured it out when she was in kindergarten. Every Muppet moment

laboratory, filling it with creatures of all types and in all stages of development. Foam and glue give the giant open studio space the smell of constant activity and creativity. “It’s got the puppet-y madness smell,” he says. And indeed, “Dr. Mercurio’s Octagon of Imagination” is the stuff of puppet-y madness. Vincent does workshops that allow kids and teens to make their own Muppets, and he does a Creature Shop where anyone can come in and get hands-on experience helping him put feathers in a phoenix, or a horn on a unicorn, or whatever else his crew is working on at the time. There’s even a class where cosplayers can make their own costumes. “Why go and order something that’s going to cost you $1,200, when you can learn how to make your own stuff?” he asks. “Same thing with Burning Man.” Though he loves to get kids started on puppet design, there’s an adult side to the Puppetry Institute, too—like the show he’ll be doing this week, June 8-10, at the Octagon, “The Doctor Is Out: The Last 48 Hours in the Life of Hunter S. Thompson.” Vincent researched and wrote the play (on a typewriter, no less), and created the Thompson puppet that he voices in the show. He’s been searching for a permanent home for the Institute after the residency is up in August, and just made a deal with the Museum of Discovery in Capitola to move into a dedicated space there. The museum’s bookmobile will also be refitted to serve as a mobile puppetry workshop that Vincent can take to local schools. He sees it as the latest in a long line of collaborations that fuel his passion. “The biggest thing I’m trying to build here is a sense of community,” he says. ‘The Doctor is Out: The Last 48 Hours in the Life of Hunter S. Thompson’ will be performed Thursday, June 8 through Saturday, June 10 at 8 p.m., with a 9:30 p.m. show Friday and Saturday, at the Octagon, 118 Cooper St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $12-$22 sliding scale. For more information on Vincent’s workshops, go to thepuppetryinstitute.org.

is a delight to her, and it’s also where her talent for doing voices—she can do pretty much all the Muppets, including the best Gonzo I’ve heard from anyone not named Dave Goelz— first materialized. Kermit, Fozzie, Ralph and the whole gang are just a part of who she is. She has a soulmate in Puppetry Institute of Santa Cruz founder and artistic director Ricki Vincent. At four years old, Vincent was already so into puppets that his mom would actually wake him up if something puppet-related came on television. And when Jim Henson was on the Tonight Show precursor Tonight Starring Jack Paar in the early ’60s, she did just that. Henson did a routine with a primitive version of his Kermit puppet and an inchworm. “That’s what got me totally hooked,” says Vincent. “I kept begging my grandmother, ‘I need to make a worm! I need to make a worm!’” Finally, she gave him an old coat and a pair of scissors, and he started making inchworm puppets. “Because it was a big coat, I made hundreds of ’em.” By age eight, he was turning the family garage into a puppet theater. Mom, who wanted him to be a lawyer, had to be wondering what she’d started. “She thought I was nuts,” he says. Vincent was obsessed with puppetry into his teens, but lost interest as he moved into his rebellious years, eventually owning a lucrative piercing business. After 9/11, though, he felt like he wasn’t doing anything meaningful with his life, and rediscovered his puppet passion. A $50,000 grant to do a puppet burlesque show in Austin was his first big success, and he eventually set up shop in Monterey. But as he started doing puppet shows on Pacific Avenue as “Dr. Mercurio,” Vincent started to feel more of a connection to Santa Cruz. When he saw a chance to move here, he did. Now he’s opened the Puppetry Institute in the Octagon, after the Museum of Art and History chose him as their artist in residence. He took a month and a half to turn the inside into a glorious puppet

FADE TO BLACK LEATHER Cory Branan brings his new album ‘Adios’ to the Crepe Place on June 14.
Real Gone JUNE 7-13, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
‘Adios’ is Cory Branan’s accidental ‘death record’ BY AARON CARNES
24
W
hen Nashville singer-songwriter Cory Branan wrote “The Vow,” he was processing the passing of his father, and reflecting on his relationship to him. (“My old man was young once/ So the photo album claims”) The song could have been on his last record, 2014’s No-Hit Wonder, but Branan felt the song was too personal. What would audiences get out of it? His wife felt all he needed to do was play it at some shows, which he did. Audiences loved it. The song is one of 14 tracks on Branan’s new record Adios, which he’s presenting appropriately enough as his “death” record. The title, Spanish for “goodbye,” kind of makes that clear.
Still, it’s a coincidence that so much of the album was themed around death—Branan hadn’t set out to write it that way. “A lot of it was death itself, death of old lives, death of ideals, and what do you do with the pieces that are left over, Branan says. “It’s the theme I’ve been working on since the first record.” In fact, he kind of laughs now at the idea that Adios is a death record, since he never called it that until it was finished and his management was asking him for info on it for the press release. They ran with it. “They want to have a story to give to the press. I was like, well, you can call it a death record. It’s got a lot of it on it. It does oversimplify matters.
It lets me know who actually listens to the record,” Branan says. Apart from “The Vow,” which is a somber track, as well as a handful of others, musically the album has an upbeat tone. Even some of his darker material is performed like upbeat singalongs. “Another Nightmare In America” is a blunt indictment of police brutality. He focused specifically on unarmed black teens. Musically, the song sounds like the feel-good heartland rock tune of the summer. “It tempts you to bop along and ignore the lyrical content, like we sort of bop along in our daily lives and ignore a rigged system. It’s got some weight without drawing attention to itself,” Branan says. Aside from “Another Nightmare,”
opening track “I Only Know” is the most powerful track on the record. Its connection to death is more metaphorical. The song, an almost radio-pop-rock song, talks about letting go of the past and moving forward. It also touches on what is the larger theme of the album: death and rebirth, which makes sense in his life. In addition to losing his father, he finds himself a new father. “It was definitely personal for me, having done a lot of dumb things in life,” Branan says. “I’ve finally made some good choices. It was also looking at my kid and I was trying to find some sort of hope that’s not naïve, that’s tempered with the things I’ve seen—and put that in a balanced kind of pop song.” One thing that has always defined Branan’s records was how jarring they were. This album is his most cohesive. Yet at the same time, he stretches his influences. There’s not much of the punky-Americana sound from his earlier years; he jumps around to rock, country, New Wave and pop. What connects it is a strong connection to eclectic ’70s rock music. “I knew I wanted to make a record that had a lot of head room, like the ’70s records. When the band gets louder, the record gets louder. I was trying to inject a lot of life into it,” Branan says. “It was fun to make. The studio is never really natural and fun for me, but I was with great musicians, a great engineer.” The album has a spontaneous element to it often lacking in modern rock albums. That, he says, is the product of him enlisting “overqualified, underprepared musicians,” meaning great musicians that he didn’t show demos to until they were in the studio. What really gives the album life is how malleable it is stylistically. Branan, not wanting to write a “vaudeville” country album, as he calls it, allowed himself to go into whatever territory felt natural. As an example, he cites the song “Visiting Hours,” which sounds like a New Wave song. “I always try to be authentic to the things that I love,” Branan says. “I grew up in the south, but I also grew up glued to MTV. I listen to everything. If it feels authentic to me to use it to get the song across, then I’ll use it.” INFO: 9 p.m., June 14, Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
MONKEYHANDS You know the saying: The show must go on. For Monkeyhands’ singer Mike Hulter, that means performing some of his most recent shows lying down. His back pain is serious, he says, but he won’t cancel. “I usually wake up and think, ‘I’m going to cancel tonight.’ Then by the afternoon, I work it a little bit so I can at least tolerate the car ride,” he says. Not only does he put up with it, he even wrote a song about it called “Flat On Your Back.” The whole thing might not have worked for another band, but Monkeyhands mix serious and silly seamlessly. As far as the audience is concerned, it’s all part of the show.
JUNE 7-13, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“We can’t go full-on Radiohead, but we also can’t go full-on Weird Al,” he says, describing the band’s parameters.

Hulter finds his current setback an opportunity to show off the band members. (“At first they would hide. Now they can’t, it’s perfect.”) The band formed last October, and mainly play every Tuesday at Bocci’s Cellar as the house band for an amateur comedy night. In 10 years of playing music, Hulter says, this is the first band that’s really clicked with his style of mixing serious and whimsical in whatever genre the band is feeling. “I’ve always resisted genres. And these guys as well. They’ve each found a genre that they’ve been in. But you can tell there’s so much more going on,” Hulter says. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, June 16.

JOAN OSBORNE
WEDNESDAY 6/7 POP-ROCK
JOAN OSBORNE In 1995, Joan Osborne had a mega-hit with the song, “One of Us,” which asked listeners to imagine how we might act if God was walking among us. Osborne hasn’t had a hit of that magnitude since, but she has established herself as a skillful and insightful singer-songwriter and song interpreter whose range reaches across pop, soul, blues, country and rock. For Osborne’s Rio Theatre performance, she’ll take on the songs of Bob Dylan. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $30/gen, $45/gold. 423-8209.
as a classical pianist at home, she pursued her love of jazz in Rotterdam and later Boston at Berklee. A skilled accompanist who’s worked with masters like James Moody and Claudio Roditi, Figerova has spent the past two decades touring and recording as a bandleader and composer with a far-ranging musical palette. Now based in New York, she’s touring with her talent-laden sextet featuring her husband, Belgian-born flutist Bart Platteau, Dutch tenor saxophonist Marc Mommaas, trumpeter Alex Pope Norris, bassist Endea Owens, and Oakland-reared drummer Darrell Green.

PATRICK MAGUIRE In 2012, singer-songwriter Patrick Maguire landed in Santa Cruz, and felt entirely at home. It was no small journey getting here. He traveled from Maine, sleeping in his car, and playing open mics wherever he went, looking for a place to pursue his dream to be a full-time musician. Having grown up in a house-
hold of musicians that held frequent jam sessions, playing music was the most natural thing imaginable— making it a career less so. Now a fixture in our scene, he sticks out as an ambitious songwriter who approaches folk like soul music … or does he approach soul like folk? Who can tell?

INDIE/AMERICANA
THE BUILDERS AND THE BUTCHERS Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the Builders and the Butchers started out, like many rootsy indie bands do, playing on the sidewalks. They crafted a high-energy, driving sound before playing venues in Portland, around the country and beyond. Taking on topics ranging from addiction and religion to the end times and good and evil, the band blends Americana songwriting with the raw edginess of punk traditions. It has, in recent years, become a road-tested outfit that’s outgrown comparisons to other Northwest acts such as the Decem-

HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF Alynda Lee Segarra has mashed together elements of folk, blues, and American roots music on her first five albums under the Hurry For the Riff Raff moniker. For The Navigator, she distills these elements into something more theatrical and complex, and yet somehow the closest thing to straight “rock ’n’ roll” she’s ever created. It’s not just intriguing musically—embedded in the lyrics (presented in two separate acts) is a concept album about a Puerto Rican kid named Navita Milagros Negrón. It’s too complicated to explain, but it involves a witch, life in South Bronx, and Bikini Kill. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $22.50. 423-8209.
SUNDAY 6/11 FOLK-ROCK
ROBYN HITCHCOCK Robyn Hitchcock once said he
thinks he’ll probably be remembered for songs about seafood— and, yeah, if you write “Where Are the Prawns,” you run that risk. But it would certainly be a shame. Hitchcock’s surreal lyrical style first made its mark on the music world in 1980 on Underwater Moonlight, the classic album by his former band the Soft Boys. He went solo with a slew of incredible records through the ’80s and ’90s, breaking on college radio with singles like “Balloon Man” and “So You Think You’re In Love.” To this day, his staying power has absolutely nothing to do with seafood; rather, it’s the way he blends bizarre imagery with real emotional power, a poetic talent that for me is epitomized by the ending of his great song “Belltown Ramble” (which is about a real area of Seattle, but also features the 13th century Uzbeck warlord Tamerlane): “You can walk a square/You can walk an oblong/Even just walk straight/You’ll be still be standing there/Though you think you did the job wrong/ You did it great.” STEVE PALOPOLI INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.

With a clear voice and rafter-rattling delivery, Morgan James is a spectacular talent. Hailing from New York, the soul singer, songwriter and Broadway actor is a vocal powerhouse whose creative range seems to have no boundary as she takes on songs by Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Ann Peebles, Joni Mitchell and even Justin Timberlake, whose song “Can’t Stop the Feeling” gets transformed by James into a slow jam of epic proportions. James also paid tribute to legendary songwriter and artist Nina Simone on her album Morgan James Live. Spanning eras and genres, James is a must-see for fans of soul and pop vocals. CJ

Is it folk? Is it jazz? Is it new age? Is it fusion? With Acoustic Alchemy, the answer is, “Yes,” followed by, “Does it matter?” A three-time Grammy nominee that’s been around for 35-plus years, the band transcends genre, filtering elements of every style through the masterful playing and artistry of the members, led by Greg Carmichael and Miles Gilderdale. Mixing nylon and steel string guitars with keyboards, bass and drums, Acoustic Alchemy creates something impossible to define and hard to ignore. CAT JOHNSON

NOT A DISNEY PRINCESS Gal Gadot plays the adult Diana in ‘Wonder Woman,’ transported to the trenches of World War I to
experience the horrors of modern warfare.
Wonder Struck JUNE 7-13, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
Superhero movie revamped in ‘Wonder Woman’
40
T
he new Wonder Woman challenges the notion of what it means to “fight like a girl.” The DC Comics heroine, a transplanted Amazon warrior princess unleashed in the modern world, gets her own buttkicking movie (after a supporting role in last year’s ill-starred Batman vs. Superman). But this attempted revamp of the boys-club superhero genre dares to suggest that a person of conscience might put her invincible physical prowess to better use by seeking to end the carnage of warfare, not just fight to win. It’s a radical idea, although trying to inject a pacifist ideal into an action movie doesn’t get too far. But
director Patty Jenkins (Monster), and scriptwriter Allan Heinberg work hard to establish the sensibilities of their protagonist, Diana, daughter of the Queen Hippolyta, the only child raised on an idyllic island of Amazon warrior women dedicated to keeping peace in the world, and seeing justice done. To everyone’s credit— particularly the impressive Gal Gadot, who plays the adult Diana— the character never loses faith in the ideal of peace, even after she’s transported to the trenches during World War I to experience the horrors of modern warfare. Of course, soon as we see the fierce Amazons at their training games, we know butts will be kicked, but
LISA JENSEN
it’s still a mostly entertaining ride. Little Diana (Lilly Aspell) longs to be a warrior, like every other woman on her sheltered island of Amazons, a race right out of Greek mythology. Her mother, Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) believes her daughter is destined for something more. (“She must never know the truth about what she is,” says Mom, cryptically.) But her sister, Antiope (Robin Wright), who trains the warriors, convinces her to let Diana join in. When a plane crash-lands out of the sky into their sea, adult Diana (Gadot) rescues pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), an American spy fleeing a German patrol. But a rift is created in the time-space anomaly that
protects the island, the Germans break through, and the Amazons get their first taste of real fighting—with real bullets. The Amazons win this round, but when Steve tells Diana he has to go back to prevent thousands more people getting killed, she insists on going along. In Amazon lore, war is created by the god Ares, so Diana is sure that if she goes where war is (in this case the European front), and kills Ares, warfare will immediately stop. She’s well-equipped to do so, with her armor-plated bustier, wrist bracelets that repel bullets, and an ancient sword called “God-Killer.” She dazzles on the battlefield, leading a charge across “no man’s land” so the Allies can overrun a German position. (Although you have to wonder about a peacekeeping mission that starts with wiping out a trench full of German soldiers— since war itself is supposed to be the enemy, not the men fighting it.) But it’s interesting how her innocence is betrayed in this matter, yet she decides to become a champion of messy humankind anyway. Meanwhile, wry comedy is made of Diana’s discovery of romance, along with her attempts to behave, and dress, like a “normal” woman in WWIera London. Diversity is served by the offbeat crew that assists the mission (a Scot, a Muslim, and a Native American). Danny Huston is on hand as a bug-eyed German commandant, with Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In) as his cohort, Dr. Poison. In the Greek Pantheon, Ares, God of War was not the source of all evil; he had his part to play in human affairs, just like any other deity. But here, Ares is more like Lucifer, a disgruntled malcontent kicked out of Paradise who takes out his rage on puny humans in order to destroy them—and irk their creator, Zeus. Sadly, Diana’s final battle against the personification of Ares is the usual dreary CGI extravaganza that goes on forever. A disappointing finale for a movie that otherwise injects a new perspective into this familiar old genre. WONDER WOMAN *** (out of four) With Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, and Danny Huston. Written by Allan Heinberg. Directed by Patty Jenkins. A Warner Bros. release. Rated PG-13. 141 minutes.

NOW PLAYING ALIEN: COVENANT This might be the sixth movie in the Alien franchise, but heck, with so many good looking people on one spaceship sent to colonize the new planet, there might be some new plot twists possible here. Wait, who even cares, we’re just here for the aliens. Ridley Scott directs. Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup co-star. (R) 162 minutes. BAYWATCH There’s drugs, murder, and a dead body on their beach. It’s probably a job for the police, but that won’t stop the Baywatch team from diving into a local criminal plot head-on, with perfect form and glistened abs, of course. This is so much more than slow-mo running on the beach y’all—Hannibal Buress plays Dave the Tech and that’s reason enough to go see it. Seth Gordon directs. Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron. Alexandra Daddario costar. (R) 116 minutes. BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB: ADIOS They brought Cuba to the world and contributed to a littleknown history of the country—the remaining Buena Vista Social Club original members explore their careers and the incredible circumstances that brought them together. Lucy Walker directs. Manuel 'Guajiro' Mirabal, Guajirito Mirabal, Ibrahim Ferrer co-star. (PG) 110 minutes. CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE George and Harold are pranksters, so of course when they get in trouble with the principal, they hypnotize him to get
out of it. Except it actually works. Thus is born the dim-witted, overly enthusiastic Captain Underpants. David Soren directs. Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch, Ed Helms costar. (PG) 89 minutes. CHURCHILL He’s an icon now, but for the purposes of this film, it's June 1944 and Britain has begun to lose faith in the legendary Winston Churchill. His generals are ignoring his demands and Churchill, desperate to avoid a disaster like the Gallipoli slaughter of 1915, becomes desperate in the 96 hours leading up to D-Day. Jonathan Teplitsky directs. Brian Cox, Miranda Richardson, John Slattery co-star. (PG) 98 minutes. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL This is what happens when the kids take over. Parents, beware. David Bowers directs. Alicia Silverstone, Tom Everett Scott, Charlie Wright co-star. (PG) 90 minutes. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING Her nurse, her mom, her sickness were her whole life. If she left the house, she would die. So, of course, she leaves because the boy next door is cute. Stella Meghie directs. Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose co-star. (PG-13) 96 minutes.

But when his wife of 25 years dumps him and leaves him penniless, he has to figure out a new game plan. Here’s to hoping this Casanova tale isn’t a super problematic reinforcement of women as mindless conquests. Ken Marino directs. Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe co-star. (PG13) 115 minutes. KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD The story of Arthur before he pulled the sword
from the stone and became the legendary king—with a perfectly scruffed yet dashingly trimmed undercut, duh (cue eye roll). The new Arthur’s got an arsenal of nerd-out-worthy special effects, and with Jude Law as the expertly cast power-hungry king, it might be the most badass rendition of the classic tale ever told. At least, that’s what director Guy Ritchie thinks. Charlie Hunnam and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey co-star. (PG-13) 126 minutes. LONG STRANGE TRIP They were experimenting with psychedelics as much as they were playing music and their leaderless counterculture movement inspired a generation, often to total chaos. This is the story of the Grateful Dead—in just under four hours. Amir Bar-Lev directs. Tom Constanten, Jerry Garcia, Donna Godchaux co-star. (R) 238 minutes. THE LOVERS His secret, her secret: Susan and Michael have been married for an eternity and are both in serious extramarital affairs. They both decide to leave their marriage for their lovers when something strange happens … they fall back in love with each other. Azazel Jacobs directs. Debra Winger, Tracy Letts, Aidan Gillen co-star. (R) 94 minutes. NORMAN Not another sequel or prequel to Psycho—Bates Motel fans can thank their stars—but rather, the story of an operator, an optimist, an enigma. Whatever you need, he’ll help you get it. Norman Oppenheimer’s tale is one of “the moderate rise and tragic fall of a New York fixer,” as its tagline explains, and it’s being called the role of Richard Gere’s life. Joseph Cedar directs. Gere, Lior Ashkenazi, Michael Sheen co-star. (R) 118 minutes. PARIS CAN WAIT Alec Baldwin and Diane Lane are married—and it’s fine. But when Anne (Lane) gets the opportunity to take a slow detour to Paris with a charming Frenchman before meeting back up with the hubby, she begins to see what she’s missing. Basically,
the female version of something vaguely Woody Allen. Eleanor Coppola directs. Lane, Baldwin, Arnaud Viard co-star. (PG) minutes. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN You know those franchises that just can’t deal with the end, the ones that keep texting and calling, leaving desperate voicemails long after the breakup? Maybe this time they catch you in a weak moment and the last letter stapled to your front door with a bundle of semiwilted red roses starts to sound kind of sweet ... maybe you should take a chance on this one again, after all, there were some good times back in 2003 … Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg direct. Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem costar. (PG-13) 179 minutes. A QUIET PASSION “You are alone in your rebellion, Ms. Dickinson.” And indeed, from her time as a defiant schoolgirl to a brazen woman who would not kneel to God or man, Emily Dickinson was. But, as Cynthia Nixon depicts, her aloneness had more to do with being out of step with the world and more in tune with the universe. Terence Davies directs. Jennifer Ehle and Duncan Duff co-star. (PG13) 125 minutes. SNATCHED Vacationing with your mother when your boyfriend has just dumped you can be somewhat stifling, even if she is Goldie Hawn. But thankfully, things get all kinds of exciting when Amy Schumer and Hawn get out of their hotel room and into a … kidnap situation. Jonathan Levine directs. Kim Caramele costars. (R) 91 minutes. THE WEDDING PLAN Her fiance has flown the coop, and there’s 30 days til the wedding. An Orthodox Jew undeterred by circumstance, Michal places her faith in God to find a groom before she steps on the altar. Rama Burshtein directs. Dafi Alferon, Noa Koler, Oded Leopold co-star. (PG) 101 minutes. WONDER WOMAN Reviewed this issue. Patty Jenkins directs. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright costar. (PG-13) 141 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK ingredients, chef/entrepreneur Andrea Mollenauer brings her Lifestyle Culinary Arts catering expertise to the task of appetizers. “When asked to guest chef,” Mollenauer explains, “I try to let the farm availability guide my choice.” She also admits that she likes to let other guest chefs choose their menu items first and then she “fills in the gaps once the other chefs have started to conjure up some magic.” Creating small dishes and the vegetarian entrée is seasoned chef Gema Cruz, the leading light of Gabriella Cafe’s kitchen and a woman who knows her way around brilliant flavor pairings. With luck, participants can expect some Oaxacan inflection of her menu choices. The main entrée will be created by John Paul Lechtenberg, whose handiwork has reinvigorated the kitchen at Hollins House for the past several years. The delicious assignment of creating dessert falls to Dave Kumec, the founding genius of Mission Hill Creamery. Hopefully a seasonal ice cream innovation will be part of his plan. And I’m hungry already! Saturday, June 10, 4-7:30 p.m., $16 -$150. store.homelessgardenproject. org/sustain-supper.

This weekend’s Sustain Supper benefit
A
ll-star chefs, community activists, food-lovers, and hard-working organic farmers will gather on June 10 for the Sustain Supper, an al fresco meal that unfolds in the fields overlooking the ocean to benefit the Homeless Garden Project. I have been moved, delighted, well-fed, and enlightened at the past two Sustain Suppers I’ve attended. The organic dinner will occupy long tables spread under a canvas tent in the Garden’s fields. The event is a chance to share a meal with community leaders and friends, and to hear apprentices’ stories about learning opportunities
that have changed lives. Last year Brad Briske and his culinary team created wood-fired seafood entrees that paired well with wines from Bonny Doon Vineyard and Burrell School. And yes, everything does taste incredible when cooked and served outdoors. In past years I rekindled many old friendships, caught up with former university and newspaper colleagues, and enjoyed the overall mood of celebration— such incredible luck to live in this remarkable place. The outdoor meal starts off with wine, appetizers, and a brief, always interesting tour
BY CHRISTINA WATERS of the grounds. Then everybody stakes out dining turf and settles in to meet tablemates and begin dinner. The food is outstanding, full of seasonal invention, and invariably ending with an inspired dessert. Engaging talks follow, with this year’s keynote given by ace tech evangelist Guy Kawasaki, an Apple and Wikipedia author and all-star inspirational guru. The chance to hear Kawasaki would be enough of a power-inducing temptation for most people. But there’s much more. This year the four-course dinner is prepared by another top culinary quartet. Working with local, organic
AVANT GARDEN AFRICA PARTY
Join some sensational musical artists and friends for an afternoon of pulse-raising music, the alwaysexciting food wizardry of chef Jozseph Schultz and a silent auction that includes a six-day South African Safari! Always one of the top cultural events of the summer calendar, the New Music Works Avant Garden Party happens Sunday, June 11 from 2-6 p.m. at The Garden, 2701 Monterey Ave., in Soquel (sliding scale tix from $17-$25). Fabulous African music, new and old performed by singers, composers, musicians, the Senegalese Dance and Drum Ensemble, Bill Walker’s atmospheric electric slide guitar, even a solo harp piece by Lou Harrison performed by the wondrous Jennifer Cass. Food to evoke the soul of Africa—as longtime locals know Schultz is a world cuisine expert and wields a wok to contend with—and music to match. Details and advance tickets at newmusicworks.org.

Malone’s Grille Iconic Scotts Valley spot gets a new mnenu, revamped patio BY AARON CARNES
A
nyone who’s lived in Scotts Valley for any period of time knows Malone’s Grille. Brothers Ryan and Taylor Fontana bought the restaurant last year, and have made it their own, while still keeping the name and finding other ways to honor its past. They’ve even revived the patio, turning it into a gorgeous outdoor hangout spot. Ryan took the time to tell us all about the new Malone’s.
because there are a ton in Scotts Valley. Trying to give them a reason to get a babysitter and go out on the town. We’ve known Patti for a long time. She used to buy all her food from Ledyard Company, which is our dad’s company. It’s been around more than 80 years. It was the most unique opportunity we could find in our hometown.
How do you honor the restaurant’s legacy while also building your own?
The only things we really kept were the steak salad, Cobb salad, the French Dip—she used to offer it “Fred style” which had grilled onions and cheese on it. This person Fred she named it after is my godfather. We changed that to “the Fred.” It comes that way in honor of him because he passed away a few years ago. The biggest thing at Malone’s is the hamburgers. We kept the same beef blend. It’s ground chuck, short rib and brisket. We have the absolute most tender, delicious, fatty burger that you’ll ever have.

RYAN FONTANA: We’re just reviving what’s already there. In terms of recognizing the history, we gathered a bunch of old photos that Patti [Malone] used to have when the place used to be called the Rusty Lantern. People used to tie their horse up to the front porch. So we put a bunch of old nostalgic photos up. We named a lot of menu items after Scotts Valley history, like the Hiram Scott burger. A lot of our cocktails are named for it, like the Whispering Pines Cocktail. We wanted to find a good spot where we could attract more young couples,

Creating Award Winning Wines Since 1987
Windy Oaks A light, crisp Rosé 2015 named after a farmhouse in France BY JOSIE COWDEN
W
indy Oaks’ recently released Rosé comes with a delightful title— Bastide La Combe—named after a lovely guesthouse where the winery’s proprietors Judy and Jim Schultze stay in Provence. Dedicated to producing fine wines, the Schultzes usually take an annual trip to France to visit the cooperage where they purchase barrels. Only the best will do. It says on the Rosé’s label that “Bastide” means farmhouse in French, and “La Combe” owes its name to the incline of vineyards and forests akin to the Windy Oaks estate vineyard in Corralitos. And while we’re talking about the label, it’s such an eye-catching drawing of the guesthouse that you will immediately want to pack your bags and head to Provence. And as for the contents of the bottle, this Rosé is light and crisp— using locally grown Grenache grapes from Monterey. A beautiful blush pink and full of flavor, it’s just perfect for upcoming summer picnics. The Schultzes say the wine is to be enjoyed year-round, chilled, and paired with almost all casual foods.
Windy Oaks tasting room in Corralitos is on a bucolic estate with gorgeous views of the Monterey Bay. Visit their tasting room in Carmel, also. At the Carmel location on Friday nights from 4-7 p.m., you can enjoy a wine and cheese party with a charcuterie plate and specially paired cheeses from The Cheese Shop for $15 a person, which includes a tasting of four wines. Check their website for open hours and upcoming events. Windy Oaks Estate Vineyard & Winery, 550 Hazel Dell Road, Corralitos, 786-9463, and Su Vecino Court on Lincoln Street, between 5th and 6th streets in Carmel, 574-3135. windyoaksestate.com.
BARGETTO WINERY’S CUSTOMIZED LABELS
With all of the weddings and celebrations coming up this summer, it’s fun and impressive to have your very own customized wine label. You can design your own label and select from Sparkling Brut ($35 a bottle) or Merlot, Pinot Grigio, and Chaucer’s Mead ($22 a bottle). Visit customerservice@bargetto.com. Bargetto Winery is at 3535 North Main St., Soquel, 475-2258.
H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES FESTIVAL OF HUMANITY Friday, June 9, is the full moon and the third Spring Solar Festival of 2017. This Gemini Solar Festival has many names—Festival of Humanity, Festival of Goodwill, of Unification and of Humanity and World Invocation Day. The new and full moon days are esoteric (spiritual) holy days. At present the world’s many religions have different holy days. However, “In the future world, humanity everywhere will keep the same holy days. This will unite spiritual efforts and resources and voice a united spiritual invocation. Each year humanity will participate together in three great Festivals—the Festival of Easter (Aries), of Wesak (Taurus) and the Festival of Goodwill (Gemini).” The Festival of Goodwill calls to the Spirit of Humanity everywhere to have Right Relations with all the kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human, spirit). The Gemini Festival acknowledges the Divine nature and inherent intelligence of humanity, stating
that “all minds are created equal.” The blessings of Wesak (Taurus) are distributed to humanity on this day through the Light of Gemini. A great tide of love flows around and into the Earth. This light brings forth goodwill, right conditions and harmony, unifying Heaven and Earth. A synthesis occurs between whatever is opposed and/or separated. Everything becomes One again. Goodwill is the keynote, the “touchstone that can transform the world.” Intentions for Goodwill create Right Human Relations which creates Peace in our world … it is the only Way. All around the world on this day, people are reciting the Great Invocation, the Great Mantram of Direction for Humanity. Search YouTube and watch Eleanor Roosevelt reciting the Great Invocation at the Gemini Festival, World Invocation Day, June 1952.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
Identifying as a creative generates a sense of goodwill. Creativity calls you to initiate new endeavors that respond to all of the changes coming your way in terms of work, relationships and how you’re recognized. Everything is not what we think it is. Observe the world with poise. Tend to health with a focus on proper digestion (probiotics, enzymes, green foods, etc.) and raised vitality.
You move from being in the world and serving there to the needed comforts of home, attempting adequate time for both. Deep emotions (Pluto) call you home while a sense of wanderlust calls you to travel. Both are of comfort. Daily life seems veiled, yet happy, with realities ever-shifting. At times, you’re called in four different directions. Only the Angels of the Four Directions are consistent. Ask them to accompany you.
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
Home sustains your relationship. There’s much to be done at home. What is the larger picture concerning your life, geography, relationships, partnerships? Careful working in the hot sun. You may not be absorbing enough water. Maintain adequate electrolytes each day. Something challenges you, calling you to consider other realities. Perhaps it’s your health. Read the Medical Medium’s books.
Try to be charitable when communicating about other people’s lives, choices and resources. Maintain ethics and kindness within the many variations of reality. Your values have shifted. This is good. Home becomes a place where you seek comfort from the past. A wound seems to come out of nowhere. A return to spiritual resources would help. A return to prayer, to Mass, to church are needed in times of reorientation.
GEMINI May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
Mercury, your planetary messenger, is in Taurus, calling for illuminating communications with others. A line of light beams from Sirius streams directly into your heart, unifying polarities, calling you to love (Ray 2) more. Then the 12 petals of your heart open and new revelations come forth. Study Venus, land, soil, gardens, greenhouses, communities and neighborhoods.
It is good to focus on the value and quality of all your life experiences. You want to have comfort and ease with money and resources. Questions appear concerning what you most value. Create a list of values—personal, political, work, education, profession, people. What is of value in terms of relationships and communication? And why? Your “other” self is in need of being discovered.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 7, 2017
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 An illumination, a fruition, a completion and then a new beginning occurs at the full moon. Do you (like Libra) feel stretched upon a cross, called in four directions? It feels very difficult. Acknowledge all four realities. Place an angel at each of the four directions. Stand at the center of the cross and willingly, intelligently and lovingly work from there. The angels speak these words: purity, dedication, love and service. They are potencies (powers) to work with. Just for you.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18
After too much time with groups you will seek to retreat. Sitting amidst your Sun are remembrances and emotions from the past calling you to a state of healing and liberating forgiveness. Gratitude follows forgiveness. It’s important to value every person, event and occurrence in our lives. When we do so, a vital lifeforce flows forth and all restrictions and obstructions disappear.
Careful with money. Keep track of it. Neptune’s afoot. Be extra careful with communication. Use words to help and praise others. Kind words nurture you. Careful driving. Stay focused. Each day seems filled with responsibilities, tasks, errands, in order to create comfort and nurturance. Attempt to be less strict and more conciliatory. People will listen more to you with depth and concern when you are kind(er).
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22
PISCES Feb19–Mar20
Enter into any new endeavors slowly; resting along the way so that your physical body, emotions and mind can get used to new rhythms and realities. You are in a state of change and reorientation. New values and resources emerge from deep contemplation and considerations. A new 18-month cycle is beginning. Are you considering a restructuring of your home environments?
You sense a new level of work will appear soon, a transition into a greater world. It awakens new states of self-identity and the ability to work with and serve others in greater capacities. The world seeks education and nurturing. You have the qualities needed. However, you feel a great tension and unease of not being in the right place. Yet you must continue forward. Something changes soon. Bravely, mindfully carry on.

Communication may feel hidden away behind veils. You may have a sore throat. You may feel frustration. Those around you may be acting out those feelings for you. There’s a situation with money. Whatever you give opens a gate to receiving. Always what we give is returned tenfold—a cosmic law. Is there a wound or hurt occurring? Are your feet painful? Do you feel limited in some way?

A LONDON BROIL WINE & FOOD INGREDIENTS
PAIRING
- 1- 2lb London Broil - Salt & Pepper or Your Favorite Dry Rub - 1 Clove of Garlic
PREPARATION
1. Rub steak with the cut side of a halved garlic clove and liberally season both sides of your London broil with salt and pepper or your favorite dry rub. Let it sit at room temperature on a rack set inside a rimmed baking tray for at least one hour. The salt will dissolve and will be absorbed into the meat. 2. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). Grill the first side for four minutes, then rotate 45° from its original spot on the grill for another 3-4 minutes (but don’t turn it over) in order to get the crosshatch grill marks.

Who or what first got you interested in Shopper’s? SUMI: “My mother first brought me shopping with her when I was 11. Since then I’ve never not wanted to shop here. It’s just wonderful — it’s my favorite market. We have a really good rapport with the crew. You feel connected to the community. I work at a local business, and I want to support this store.” TOM: “I appreciate the aesthetics here, like the older-styled building and the wooden floors. Shopper’s aisles are stacked really high, and it’s got that old-school charm. It’s also clean, organized, well stocked and well staffed. It’s fun shopping here.”
Oh yeah…? SUMI: “We walk to Shopper’s sometimes, just to get some air, because we live close by. We’ll socialize with people we know and then probably pick up some items.” TOM: “The people working here are fun and friendly — it’s local people employing local folks. Our son, Huxley, has been coming here is whole life. All the girls at the checkout know him; they’re very gracious with him and spoil him!” SUMI: “They are quick with a napkin if Huxley’s drooling chocolate!” TOM: “Speaking of chocolate, they have a fantastic selection, including European chocolates.” SUMI: “They also have great wine selections at great prices.”
What’s generally on your shopping list? TOM: “Much of it is local, like the eggs, breads, coffee, and produce — we love Shopper’s variety.” SUMI: “Their seasonal mushrooms are phenomenal! We tend to keep things simple with lots of roast vegetables, and we frequently get Shopper’s sausages — wonderful bangers — and marinated chicken — so terrific and convenient!” TOM: “We enjoy fusionstyle cooking — could be a rice and/or something Asianinspired with possibly tilapia or cod. Their fish is always fresh.” SUMI: “We always get our Diestel turkey here. Last year we hosted our first Thanksgiving. It went really well. Shopper’s butchers are always helpful.” TOM: “They’re very friendly guys who seem to enjoy their craft.”
