OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE The Santa Cruz Symphony opens its rehearsals at the Santa Cruz Civic to the public for free. I mention this because if you want to understand what a conductor does, and how an orchestra really works, that’s where to start. Far from the silent, stoic figure whose only means of communication seems to be wild gesticulations that are mostly lost on the general public, the conductor at a rehearsal is in constant verbal contact with the players in his or her orchestra, offering guidance, figuring out what passages are giving them trouble, and in a larger sense explaining what he or she is hearing, and in what direction it should go.

Sitting in on a Santa Cruz Symphony rehearsal, I was struck in particular by some of the things that Daniel

Thank you for the excellent article on the Ebb and Flow Festival and the San Lorenzo River (GT, 5/31). Articles like this are part of what we need in order to transform the wonderful positive energy of the festival into genuine stewardship for the river. I am imagining a future where ideas like “businesses turning around to face the river” are carried out in a way that reflect our community’s understanding and deep caring for the sensitive habitats that grace the center of our town.

MICHAEL LEVY | SANTA CRUZ

ADULTS ONLY Re: Zone Defense (GT, 5/31): Excellent article

by Jacob Pierce. How refreshing to read about both sides of the housing story. I hope that the YIMBYs and NIMBYs can find common ground. Santa Cruz really needs housing, and neighborhoods deserve to maintain their integrity. All parties must respectfully listen to points of view other than their own, refrain from anger and name-calling, and work toward a compromise that will benefit all concerned. I sincerely hope that this issue

Stewart—the conductor and artistic director, and the subject of my cover story this week—says to the players.

Do you think a lot of symphony conductors out there are saying things like “let’s see what we can find in this song” and “let’s see what else we can discover?” I highly doubt it.

Stewart brings an incredibly empathic energy to his role—not just while they practice, but also afterward, as a line of musicians stops to talk to him on their way out the door.

Running parallel to that gentle calm, though, is an incredible energy and passion that has pushed the Santa Cruz Symphony to its current level of acclaim and visibility. That profile is likely to get even higher with the return of pianist Yuja Wang on June 24 and 25. The story of how these concerts came to be, and the way in which Stewart and Wang’s shared vision for the future of classical music has created a bond between them, was fascinating to me. I hope you find it to be so, as well.

will not be exploited for political gain by anyone. Time will tell us whether the dialogue degenerates into an emotional brawl or whether there are any “adults in the room.”

ZERO REASONS Re: Two-part series on future housing plans for the city of Santa Cruz: Good news! If you want to live in a place with increased density, fiveand six-plus story buildings blocking sunlight and dwarfing trees, doubled traffic, and parking challenges reaching deep into residential neighborhoods, you can! It’s called moving somewhere else. Fantastic urban metropolises already exist, and I see zero reasons why we have to become one to accommodate the endless stream of people trying to move here with and without jobs or money.

THEY’RE ROYALS

Last year, the Screaming Hand exhibition at the Museum of Art and History brought skate art to the world of painters and portraits. Now at the Tannery Arts Center, Arts Council Santa Cruz County is doing the opposite—with visual artists from all backgrounds putting masterpieces on skateboards. The 23 decks are on display at Radius Gallery through July 7, when they’ll be raffled off to benefit the council, which is also hosting a “meet the artists” event from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14 at the gallery.

Best friends Otter Jung-Allen and Lee Mokobe received invitations to the Buzzfeed Queer Prom in Los Angeles, and ended up prominently featured in videos about the exciting experience. The two, who moved to Santa Cruz this year from Pennsylvania, were also members of the royal court. Celebrities were there in support, and singer Adam Lambert was on hand to crown the court. The inspiring series has seven videos on YouTube. Actress Evan Rachel Wood told the crowd, “Remember, you’re not a black sheep. You’re a unicorn.”

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 14 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

You have to admit that salt looks like sugar and sugar resembles salt. This isn’t usually a major problem, though. Mistakenly sprinkling sugar on your food when you thought you were adding salt won’t hurt you, nor will putting salt in your coffee when you assumed you were using sugar. But errors like these are inconvenient, and they can wreck a meal. You may want to apply this lesson as a metaphor in the coming days, Aries. Be alert for things that outwardly seem to be alike but actually have different tastes and effects.

You’ll never get access to the treasure that’s buried out under the cherry tree next to the ruined barn if you stay in your command center and keep staring at the map instead of venturing out to the barn. Likewise, a symbol of truth may be helpful in experiencing deeper meaning, but it’s not the same as communing with the raw truth, and may even become a distraction from it. Let’s consider one further variation on the theme: The pictures in your mind’s eye may or may not have any connection with the world outside your brain. It’s especially important that you monitor their accuracy in the coming days.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Here’s a possible plan for the next ten days: Program your smart phone to sound an alarm once every hour during the entire time you’re awake. Each time the bell or buzzer goes off, you will vividly remember your life’s main purpose. You will ask yourself whether or not the activity you’re engaged in at that specific moment is somehow serving your life’s main purpose. If it is, literally pat yourself on the back and say to yourself, “Good job!”

If it’s not, say the following words: “I am resolved to get into closer alignment with my soul’s code—the blueprint of my destiny.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

Actress Marisa Berenson offers a line of anti-aging products that contain an elixir made from the seeds of a desert fruit known as prickly pear. The manufacturing process isn’t easy. To produce a quart of the potion requires 2,000 pounds of seeds. I see you as having a metaphorically similar challenge in the coming weeks, Gemini. To create a small amount of the precious stuff you want, I’m guessing you’ll have to gather a ton of raw materials. And there may be a desert-like phenomena to deal with, as well.

Over the years I’ve read numerous news reports about people who have engaged in intimate relations with clunky inanimate objects. One had sex with a bicycle.

Another seduced a sidewalk, and a third tried to make sweet love to a picnic table. I hope you won’t join their ranks in the coming weeks. Your longing is likely to be extra intense, innovative, and even exotic, but I trust you will confine its expression to unions with adult human beings who know what they’re getting into and who have consented to play. Here’s an old English word you might want to add to your vocabulary: “blissom.” It means “to bleat with sexual desire”

There are three kinds of habits: good, bad, and neutral.

Neutral habits are neither good nor bad but use up psychic energy that might be better directed into cultivating good habits. Here are some examples: a good habit is when you’re disciplined about eating healthy food; a bad habit is watching violent TV shows before going to bed, thereby disturbing your sleep; a neutral habit might be doing Sudoku puzzles. My challenge to you, Cancerian, is to dissolve one bad habit and one neutral habit by replacing them with two new good habits. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, cosmic forces will be on your side as you make this effort.

Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to go gallivanting so heedlessly into the labyrinth. Or maybe it was. Who knows? It’s still too early to assess the value of your experiences in that maddening but fascinating tangle.

You may not yet be fully able to distinguish the smoke and mirrors from the useful revelations. Which of the riddles you’ve gathered will ultimately bring frustration and which will lead you to wisdom? Here’s one thing I do know for sure: If you want to exit the labyrinth, an opportunity will soon appear.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

“Dear Dr. Astrology: Good fortune has been visiting me a lot lately. Many cool opportunities have come my way.

Life is consistently interesting. I’ve also made two unwise moves that fortunately didn’t bring bad results. Things often work out better for me than I imagined they would!

I’m grateful every day, but I feel like I should somehow show even more appreciation. Any ideas? -Lucky Leo.” Dear Lucky: The smartest response to the abundance you have enjoyed is to boost your generosity. Give out blessings. Dispense praise. Help people access their potentials. Intensify your efforts to share your wealth.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Years ago, a fan of my work named Paul emailed to ask me if I wanted to get together with him and his friend when I visited New York. “Maybe you know her?” he wrote.

“She’s the artist Cindy Sherman.” Back then I had never heard of Cindy. But since Paul was smart and funny, I agreed to meet. The three of us convened in an elegant tea room for a boisterous conversation. A week later, when I was back home and mentioned the event to a colleague, her eyes got big and she shrieked, “You had tea with the Cindy Sherman.” She then educated me on how successful and influential Cindy’s photography has been. I predict you will soon have a comparable experience, Virgo: inadvertent contact with an intriguing presence. Hopefully, because I’ve given you a heads up, you’ll recognize what’s happening as it occurs, and take full advantage.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Your life in the coming days should be low on lightweight diversions and high in top-quality content. Does that sound like fun? I hope so. I’d love to see you enjoy the hell out of yourself as you cut the fluff and focus on the pith . . . as you efficiently get to the hype-free heart of every matter and refuse to tolerate waffling or stalling.

So strip away the glossy excesses, my dear Capricorn.

Skip a few steps if that doesn’t cause any envy. Expose the pretty lies, but then just work around them; don’t get bogged down in indulging in negative emotions about them.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Inventor, architect, and author Buckminster Fuller lived to the age of 87. For 63 of those years, he kept a detailed scrapbook diary that documented every day of his life. It included his reflections, correspondence, drawings, newspaper clippings, grocery bills, and much other evidence of his unique story. I would love to see you express yourself with that much disciplined ferocity during the next two weeks. According to my astrological analysis, you’re in a phase when you have maximum power to create your life with vigorous ingenuity and to show everyone exactly who you are.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You have a cosmic license to enjoy almost too much sensual pleasure. In addition, you should feel free to do more of what you love to do than you normally allow yourself. Be unapologetic about surrounding yourself with flatterers and worshipers. Be sumptuously lazy. Ask others to pick up the slack for you. Got all that? It’s just the first part of your oracle. Here’s the rest: You have a cosmic license to explore the kind of spiritual growth that’s possible when you feel happy and fulfilled. As you go through each day, expect life to bring you exactly what you need to uplift you. Assume that the best service you can offer your fellow humans is to be relaxed and content.

Homework: Do a homemade ritual in which you vow to attract more blessings into your life. Report results at FreeWillAstrology.com.

unassuming. He even babysat once or twice for my siblings and me the year my parents went out of town. After my freshman year in high school, my family moved away and we wrote letters during my first year away. I still have them. How kind he was to find the time and energy to do that. Then he moved on to other things, and I looked him up every few years when I was back in the Bay Area, but never managed to locate him. He seemed to just sort of slip away, despite the number of people who would have liked to be in contact with him. That may have been part of it—just all too much.

permits, licenses and changing rules. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Into the Weeds

Growers worry that regulations for pot in Santa Cruz County will fuel black market BY JACOB PIERCE

B

renda, a medical cannabis grower, is in the process of showing me to her garage when she pauses and turns to discuss the evolving weed rules. “I appreciate where we are now,” she says. “But we won’t get to where we need to be unless we keep working.”

Brenda, who asked us to withhold her last name, has been networking locally and pushing for regulations that won’t punish small cultivators like herself, ever since the Cannabis Choice Cultivations Committee began meeting in 2015.

Inside Brenda’s garage, 50 small cannabis plants—all from hybrid strains she crossed herself—sit in plastic pots. Their leaves fidget and shimmy in a lush, aromatic breeze that blows around the room—from a fan up above, an air conditioning unit to the side and a cooling system in all four corners. “I’ve walled myself up in here because I don’t want anyone to smell it,” she says.

“I don’t want it to bother anyone. I want it to be clean.”

Brenda grows for her own personal medical use to soothe her arthritis, but also sells to

dispensaries. She says she does her best to follow every rule, but that’s a difficult challenge, given the sometimes conflicting positions from government officials. In a perfect world, she says, last year’s Proposition 64, which legalized cannabis for recreational use in California, might have taken some of the pressure off.

Instead, she worries that the resulting county regulations will have the opposite effect, barring her and hundreds of other local cultivators from legally growing for sale.

A draft county ordinance >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JUNE 14-20, 2017

There’s one dog in the county for every five or six Santa Cruz County residents, according to census numbers and estimates from the local animal shelter. And as the weather warms up, the 29 miles of pristine beaches that line the county’s extensive coastline is an almost irresistible draw for dog owners, and a paradise for dogs.

But even paradise has its limits.

Jon Alvarado, a newly hired officer for Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, patrols the county’s beaches each day, and takes dog-off-leash rules seriously.

“We’re beginning to ticket people more on the beach,” he says, while standing on 26th Avenue Beach, watching free-roaming offenders. “Don’t think because it’s a Tuesday that we won’t be enforcing leash laws.”

When Alvarado’s badge comes out, lawbreaking beachgoers know he means business, and their fleeting sense of absolute freedom comes to an abrupt end.

“Go to the dog parks, or go to Mitchell’s,” the officer will tell them. Todd Stosuy, field manager for the shelter, is at the beach with him, and they’ve already spoken with a few dog owners today.

For years, officers like Alvarado “looked the other way,” he says, and allowed offleash puppies to play on shores. But the county, which runs the shelter, started getting complaints four years ago. The penalties for disobeying leash laws are steep, upward of $300 in some cases, and the shelter is actively stepping up enforcement efforts around the county.

Amy Brunette, a veterinary technician at Companion Animal Hospital, wishes that she and her Chihuahua, Peanut, had more options for off-leash recreation. “I love my dog and I wish we had more places for offleash play. And I wish more beaches had off-leash laws for my dog,” she says. “It’s not right. Now we have to go to dog parks.”

As the shelter adds more officers, it’s becoming harder for people like Brunette to find places to bring their four-leggeds, with officers patrolling the unincorporated areas and county beaches. Stosuy says the shelter is taking over a contract for the city of Capitola, as well, and stepping >14

Inventory Slows Purchase Market Lower Rates Attract Refinances Q: I’ve heard you say that uncertainty pushes rates to more attractive levels.

With recent events, things seem uncertain. What should we expect as far as ripples in real estate and mortgages?

JUNE 14-20, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A: Here in the Santa Cruz/Silicon Valley Bubble where we ran out of land for new housing years ago, we have a big problem: a lack of inventory of homes for sale. This creates competition that often causes buyers to bid prices above asking price and can lead to unrealistic expectations on the part of sellers—both make realtors’ jobs more complicated and difficult. In a market like this, where a slowing of sales has nothing to do with actual demand for housing, realtors have to work overtime to educate and serve their buying and selling clients. AND in a market like this, working WITHOUT a realtor is like trying to fly to Hawaii before your first flying lesson—buyers and sellers need local realtor expert advice, help to formulate a strategy, and guidance to achieve their goals. With the RIGHT REALTOR, it is still a great time to buy! The same adage applies to mortgages—an experienced mortgage consultant is an essential part of ANY successful mortgage application.

12

Interest rates have tracked down to their lowest levels since the November election. Further uncertainty in Washington will no doubt act to hold rates down for a while longer, but traders will buy or sell stocks and bonds according to news on spending, inflation and regulation slashing—often regardless of various uncertainties in the political spectrum. IN OTHER WORDS: RATES ARE NOW LOWER THAN EXPECTED. Many who missed lower rates may now have options to purchase or refinance with lower mortgage rates. Now is a great time to refinance to consolidate debt or to pull cash to repair or remodel—this is especially attractive to many who have been realizing that if they sell and try to move up, their options are limited.

NEWS INTO THE WEEDS <11 would ban grows from properties under five acres, as well as in traditional residential zones, regulating cannabis in a way similar to agricultural crops.

In an effort to bring growers to the table and legitimize themselves in a new system, county supervisors asked established growers to register last year, while a Santa Barbara group began work on an environmental impact report, which is expected to be released in midAugust.

Brenda signed up to enter into the county’s registry, paying her $500 fee, as did more than 750 other people.

Now she’s hoping that $500 doesn’t go to waste.

DON’T GET BURNED Many established growers who registered for cultivation licenses did so with assurances that they would be better off getting in line— even if their current location doesn’t meet zoning requirements right now.

But as they await new information, the situation is creating a blazedup version of musical chairs, with business owners like Brenda trying to figure out where they’re going to grow next year.

Cultivators are hoping to convince county officials to let them partner up and split parcels, sharing grows with multiple licenses per property.

It’s something that’s allowed in Monterey County and in Oakland, but it isn’t in Santa Cruz County’s draft ordinance yet, and officials can’t yet say—as they await environmental documents—how keen they’ll be on such a setup.

But activists say the ordinance will need some adjustments if it’s going to accommodate everyone.

“As we all know, there’s a limited resource in Santa Cruz called land,” says Pat Malo, co-founder of Green Trade, a new association representing Santa Cruzans in the cannabis industry. “And there’s also an issue with the price of land. …

Buying land is not really possible for most people, even in cannabis, where people think that owners have lots of money, but usually they’re just

getting by like every other business.”

A recent Green Trade meeting gathered to discuss the murky regulatory framework for local cannabis. Jim Coffis, the group’s other co-founder, took a hand count to see how many people had registered for licenses with the county. “That’s pretty good,” he told the crowd, as about 30 hands slowly went up in the air at the May 31 gathering.

He followed up: “How many people own or lease land in the county that you believe to be compliant with the county’s ordinance?” Only about 10 hands went up.

Local cannabis attorney Ben Rice has been sending messages back and forth with subscribers to his email list, looking for cultivators who wouldn’t be allowed to grow under the county’s new ordinance, as well as people who have land they can share, and he’s organizing all of the information on a spreadsheet to try to connect them. So far, he’s heard from about 75 people looking for land, and only five with some to spare. He concedes his methods aren’t perfect, and says he’s started trying to reach out to possible interested landowners in other ways.

Malo’s running joke is that Green Trade should set up a “speed dating” night to make connections among weed entrepreneurs and landowners.

The County Board of Supervisors did ask staff to consider allowing multiple licenses per parcel, but only on properties 40 acres or more in size.

Rice would additionally like to see Daniel Peterson, the county’s new pot licensing official, have some discretion to hear appeals from growers that nearly meet the requirements and have a case to make.

In some ways, the task at hand is a little bit like trying to settle the Wild West within a few short months—especially given the confusion that’s surrounded cannabis for years.

“There will be both an adjustment period and a paradigm shift for members of the cannabis community to transition into a regulated environment,” Peterson says via email.

Obviously, the challenge of a cannabis cultivator is greater than simply running one’s own business.

He or she must also navigate an increasingly complex landscape of licenses, taxes, building permits, water permits, ag rules, and fire code standards.

For now, Malo urges weed entrepreneurs not to embark on any big business decisions. They probably shouldn’t buy or build anything yet, he says, because no one knows what the ordinance will or won’t allow.

Malo and Coffis worry that if the county passes overly stringent regulations, it will just send people to the black market, making the local pot supply unsafe for customers, and creating a mess for law enforcement. It would also leave a hole in potential tax revenue for both the county and state.

At the same time, District 1 County Supervisor John Leopold says the county can’t just turn a blind eye to environmental considerations or the concerns of neighbors. “This is pretty complicated stuff, because it’s a new area of land use,” he says.

“And we’re going to do a really good environmental review, because if we’re not careful and someone doesn’t like it, they could sue us, and that isn’t in the best interest of cultivators or the community.”

The state’s Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation plans to start handing out state licenses to recreational growers in 2018, when recreational weed sale is supposed to begin. And regulators will prioritize cultivators who are in “good standing” with local officials.

That would be straightforward if the county could finalize its ordinance by the end of the year, but things don’t look to be on that timeline.

Malo wants the county to promise “letters of good standing” to established cultivators following the rules—an idea to which planning staffers and the Board of Supervisors have been generally warm.

CASH STASH Only nine months old, Green Trade is already having money problems.

Its members have been paying their dues, but Malo and Coffis haven’t been able to deposit any of their checks, because their >16

FUR BETTER OR WORSE <11 up patrols for the summer—although his officers do walk the beat year-round.

Stosuy says many owners seem to believe these beaches are off-leash, even though they never have been. “The leash laws are for public safety,” he says. “We have to be community-minded.”

An effort to designate off-leash county beaches stalled out a couple of years ago before the parks and recreation commission Some dog owners find they have more luck at state-run spots like Its Beach, part

of Lighthouse Field State Beach, which becomes heaven on Earth for groups of dogs on warm Saturday afternoons. But if a state parks ranger catches a dog owner, they could still be in for a hefty fine.

There’s only one beach in the county where dogs can legally run about freely, unencumbered by leashes. That would be Mitchell’s Cove, a tiny Westside locals’ spot on Almar Avenue that often smells—due to rotting seaweed, though, not canines. This tiny stretch of sand on Westcliff Drive allows off-leash dogs before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. every day. It’s a popular spot for dog park holdouts who can’t imagine taking their dogs anywhere but the beach.

Puppy places, in general, have been gaining momentum around the county.

Over the past five years, the number of dog parks has risen by 20 percent nationwide, according to the Trust for Public Land, which has deemed off-leash dog parks one of the hottest and fasting growing segments of municipal parks.

The dog park trend has grown locally as well, with parks now stretching from Scotts Valley to Watsonville—seven of them in the city of Santa Cruz alone. The topic is often a hot-button issue for park lovers, some of them eager to see more spaces for free-range dogs, and others hoping to keep leash laws as they are. The city’s draft

parks master plan calls for more completely fenced sites in underutilized areas in locations that provide an even distribution across the city and minimize conflict with other park users and wildlife.

One group that is on board with more dog-off-leash areas is the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. Stosuy, field manager for the shelter, says it would do more than just give dogs and owners more freedom and room for exercise.

“Having more areas for dogs off leash would curb the number of nuisance complaints,” he says, “and make our jobs easier.”

chamber-type organization keeps getting kicked out of banks, asked to close their account, or turned away at the door.

Banks are federally insured, after all, and the feds still view weed as a Schedule 1 narcotic.

“Just the mention of cannabis scares people in banks right now,” says Malo, who believes it’s partly Green Trade’s fault for being so open about being a cannabis organization.

If he and Coffis were more vague about it, they might get accepted, he says, but that isn’t how they want to do business.

The two men hope to open an account in the next few weeks. A growing field of legalization may bring a greater air of legitimacy to the business, but Rice says there isn’t a clear solution, and that many pot businesses in Colorado are struggling with the same issues and dealing in cash as a result.

That creates headaches, and not just because the idea of having tens of thousands of dollars in cash lying around feels like an unsettling liability for a business owner. Cash also makes it harder for investigators to track unlawful activity, and makes it difficult for honest entrepreneurs to prove that they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Rice says he’s had had roughly $200,000 returned to his clients by law enforcement this year after deputies confiscated it.

“If we had a system that would have been in place where those guys could have put it in banks, it would have been in banks,” Rice says. “But they didn’t feel it was safe. They didn’t trust that it would be left alone. And the fact that this cash is in the home—that’s symbolic in the police’s mind of unlawful activity.

And in these cases, there wasn’t any signage evidence of anything, except there was a lot of cash there and cannabis. But these guys had relationships with dispensaries and all the other things that are the earmarks for the legal stuff. But law enforcement, that’s their training: if you see a lot of cash, that’s probably evidence of bad stuff.”

he Santa Cruz Symphony operates within what local musicians jokingly call the Freeway Philharmonic.

The term refers to any orchestra in Northern California that isn’t the San Francisco Symphony or the San Francisco Opera.

“If you’re not in those two groups, you need to play in a variety of these things just to make a little bit—and

then you have your day job,” says Daniel Stewart, conductor and artistic director of the Santa Cruz Symphony. “These are heroes, these musicians, because they are driving hundreds of miles all over the place just to do what they love and believe in, even though it pays squat. I know what it’s about, I’ve been in the trenches in that world. They’re heroes, and I love them.”

At the other end of the classical music hierarchy are the soloist stars—or in the case of Yuja Wang, superstars. The 30-year-old Chinese classical pianist began studying at Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music at age seven, and winning international music competitions around the globe by 11. At age 15, shortly before she made her European debut with the

Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich, she began studying at Philadelphia’s prestigious Curtis Institute of Music. She debuted with the New York Philharmonic in 2006, and some consider her breakthrough to have come a year later, when she played Tchaikovsky with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Since then, she has been on a seemingly nonstop tour of performing with

orchestras around the world.

Meanwhile, Wang’s charisma and star power have earned her the oftused description “the Beyonce of the classical world.”

So it was understandably a surprise when Wang traveled to Santa Cruz in February to perform concertos by Brahms and Prokofiev at two shows that were hailed as the biggest thing ever to happen to the Santa Cruz Symphony. The only thing more outrageous would be if Wang suddenly, out of nowhere, decided to come back to Santa Cruz again—which she will do on June 24 and 25, when she’ll perform another concerto by Brahms, and one by Beethoven.

“For Yuja to do two concertos on the same program with any orchestra in the world would be a big deal,” says Stewart. “For her to just play one concerto with a regional orchestra is something she doesn’t do. She doesn’t play with regional orchestras, she plays with the Berlin Philharmonic. So we had the two concertos here, and I thought ‘wow, okay, that’s great.’ And now two more? Four concertos with Yuja Wang in four months?”

Certainly the symphony’s musicians were shocked to hear that Wang would be paying another visit to the Freeway Philharmonic.

“You should have heard the orchestra’s reaction,” says Stewart.

“I said, ‘Great job at the last concert, Yuja had a good time. By the way…’

I’ve never heard an orchestra gasp like that.”

Clearly, worlds are not expected to collide like this in classical music. But the real story behind “Yuja II,” as it’s being billed, is that these worlds are not as far apart as they initially seem. First, the 35-year-old Stewart has built the Santa Cruz Symphony’s reputation into something far beyond that of a typical regional orchestra. Second, he and Wang have a lot in common.

They met a decade ago as musicians, while Stewart was making his name as an in-demand violist, and they went to school together at Curtis.

Their bond has arisen from a shared obsession with the power, passion

and relevance of the music they play, and a bit of a rebel streak in their attitudes about the culture around it. Dedicated and driven, they are, in their own ways, both redefining the classical music world.

But maybe don’t make Wang its Beyonce.

“I was hoping I’m Rihanna,” says Wang. “She’s younger and she’s more edgy.” She laughs. “I think people used to say I was the Lady Gaga of classical music. And now it’s Beyonce. I guess I got a little curvier.”

THE MAESTRO Like Wang, Stewart began playing at a young age; his mom signed him up for violin lessons at age 4. Growing up in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill and then the North Bay’s Rohnert Park, it was just one of many interests he threw himself into.

“It wasn’t until I was 10 or 11, when I started playing in ensembles, that I said ‘wow, there’s this incredible chemistry and complexity and really rewarding fun social aspect to all this.’ Then I started paying more attention to getting better, and I developed,” he says.

“I was playing more viola. I was bewitched by the timbre, the deeper sound. There’s some intoxicating draw to certain sounds, and I love that bass resonance.”

He played in some youth symphonies, and got his first professional job at 17 with the Santa Rosa Symphony. His reputation as a violist grew steadily, and in addition to scoring a major-label deal to record with Israeli conductor and violinist Maxim Vengerov, he saw a lot of the world at a young age.

“Music has been a passport. It took me to over 40 countries as a violist by the time I was 25,” he says.

After finishing his grad work at Curtis in conducting, he served as a “cover conductor” for a number of orchestras—Atlanta, St. Louis, L.A., New York—which meant that if the conductor got sick or couldn’t perform for some other reason, he was literally passed the baton.

In 2010, Stewart won the Aspen

But 2012 was also the year that former music director and conductor John Larry Granger announced he was retiring from the Santa Cruz Symphony. That season, five conductors were invited to perform with the symphony by a search committee looking for his replacement. Stewart won the gig.

“I was at the Met, that’s a dream job. But then this opportunity came up,” he says. “So I asked my Met boss, James Levine, the music director, and he said ‘I absolutely support it.’ So I’d fly out here once a month, have a week of concerts, then fly back to New York. I would take the red eye on Sunday night, and be at rehearsal on Monday morning after the Sunday matinee here.

Stewart says he went after the job as conductor and artistic director of the Santa Cruz Symphony because he wanted to prove he could get world-class results from a small regional orchestra. But when he talks about his work there, it becomes obvious that he’s motivated by something even bigger than that: he wants to fill a void in both the players around him, and the audiences that come to see them perform. He wants to give people something to believe in. The word

comes up a lot; for example, when he talks about the symphony’s musicians. “‘Freeway Philharmonic’ is a useful term,” he says. “The sobering statistic that I like to give is that our guys make as much in a year with us as a San Francisco Symphony member makes in a week. The conditions are far from ideal, and it’s hard to get a result that you can really feel proud of or really believe in, that you want to invite all your friends to and say ‘this is something special.’ So that’s what my real goal was.”

He feels what he calls “an incredible cohesion, a unity and an accuracy” within the symphony now—despite the fact that members rotate around as their other jobs demand. As much as 30 percent of the ensemble may be different from week to week, which means long, tightly executed rehearsals to achieve the performances Stewart seeks.

“I want to bring out results from people that they didn’t even think were possible,” he says. “That’s one of the things I’m most proud of, is that we’ve taken folks who don’t have a lot of experience or fancy conservatory training, but through really intelligent planning and rehearsal process, you can encourage them and bring out a result that is something so much more professional and committed than even they had expected of themselves.”

The idea of belief comes up when Stewart speaks about the symphony audiences, as well, and the experiences he hopes to give them.

“Something I’m acutely aware of is that in any concert experience, the majority of the audience is going to be

MAESTRO ON A MISSION that this is going to be a serious week of music here.’ But you have to prove that it’s worth that.”

THE JOIE DE VIVRE Considering Stewart’s intensity and focus, one would be forgiven for expecting him to be a harsh taskmaster. But in fact, he’s the exact opposite—in not only his conducting style, but also his general demeanor, it’s hard to imagine anyone with more joie de vivre. He brings a disarmingly empathetic warmth to every conversation, and when he smiles— which is often—it seems to take over his whole face.

Nothing seems to bring out this delight more than music. Not just classical music—he’s also a selfdescribed “hip-hop head” who was known for his scratching ability in college, and still likes to DJ. But what he likes to do even more is conduct, and he doesn’t require an audience of hundreds at the Santa Cruz Civic. He’ll do it just about anywhere: at Burning Man; at a San Francisco nightclub; in the middle of a design studio; at juvenile hall, for incarcerated kids; in someone’s living room. He organized a flash mob on Pacific Avenue set to Beethoven’s Ninth. He’s arranged music by Radiohead and Verdi, the Beatles and Brahms.

“I don’t know, it all just seems to be so much the same thing,” he says.

“It’s all part of this bigger musical picture.”

In symphony rehearsals, what comes across—even as he briskly battles the clock to get everything into a session—is his appreciation for the musicians, and his desire to explore beyond what’s on the music sheet. Before they play a passage, he’ll sometimes say something like “Let’s see what we can find in this song” or “let’s see what else we can discover.” And when he hears something new that he likes, he’ll say, “Let’s keep that,” or simply “Yes! Yes, yes!”

“He brings this friendly energy to rehearsal,” says Nigel Armstrong, who last fall came on as the symphony’s concertmaster—sort

hearing this piece, whatever it is, for the first or the last time. Think of how vast the repertoire is,” he says. “So if you believe in it as passionately as we do, you want to give a performance that makes this lasting impression on somebody who’s going to hear it for the first time, and maybe it touches them in some way. Maybe it’s the last time someone’s going to hear it, and you want to give a piece its due.

Because these pieces are so deep in their potential.”

Deep enough for their meaning to stretch across centuries, he says.

“It’s why people believe so passionately in a Beethoven symphony, which can seem to some to be so far removed from what life in 2017 is about,” says Stewart.

“We feel this sense of emotion that shines through all the technical barriers. It means a lot to us. It’s as meaningful as it was 250 years ago.”

In the end, belief is the key to what the symphony has accomplished since he took over as music director in the fall of 2012: “Belief in the process. Belief in their ability,” he says. He credits Granger, who led the symphony for two decades prior to Stewart’s tenure, with drastically expanding the scope and ambition of an organization that began as an all-volunteer orchestra in 1958. Taking over in 1990, Granger earned the Santa Cruz Symphony a “4” rating from the California Arts Council, the highest rating for an orchestra of its size. He drew on his connections within the classical music community to bring in some acclaimed guests, announcing his intentions with a debut concert that featured Leonard Pennario, one of the best-selling classical pianists of the 20th century. Stewart is carrying on that tradition.

“My predecessor did amazing things, taking it over 20 years from a volunteer thing to a regional level,” says Stewart. “What I wanted to do was take it from there, from kind of ‘OK, kind of a pleasant week in Santa Cruz, we’ll play there’ to a thing where we get everyone else in Northern California to say ‘oh, they’re very serious about results here. I want to play here. I’ll forgo a higher-paying gig, because I know

MAESTRO ON A MISSION <23 of Stewart’s right-hand man—and also leads the violin section. “He has this passion, this dedication. He knows what he wants to get from the orchestra.”

Modern classical music is continually moving toward Stewart’s style, says Armstrong, away from the classic image of the grim, authoritarian conductor.

“There’s much more appreciation now, it’s more collaborative,” says Armstrong. “But I think Danny is unique in his joyful exuberance.”

Stewart’s wife, In Sung Jang, can often be found sitting in on the Santa Cruz Symphony’s rehearsals.

She is a first violinist in the San Francisco Symphony, and though they were married just last year, they dated for a decade before that, having met as musicians in Miami’s New World Symphony. In that time, she has watched Stewart evolve as a conductor.

“He’s a really energetic player to begin with, so he’s bringing that to the conducting,” she says. “It’s an extension of that exuberant playing.”

It’s not as easy as you might think for musicians to move into a conducting role; in fact, the two worlds are often quite separate.

Musicians generally don’t have a larger vision for the orchestra, while conductors are not often known for their playing.

“Maybe they might play an instrument—but not well,” says Jang. “It’s hard for a really good instrumentalist to naturally become a conductor. They don’t have a lot of understanding of how an orchestra works. But it emerged naturally for Danny, from leading the section to leading the orchestra. He had so much experience with different conductors in different places, touring all around Europe.”

Yuja Wang, who has worked with Stewart many times since their days together at Curtis, says there’s a joke among classical musicians that “violists are always the ones who say yes to everything.” But with his subtle style, Stewart has flipped that on its head.

“He’s not up there demanding you do this,” says Wang. “Danny has this

way—and not just in rehearsals, I’m telling you—of letting other people say yes to him. They realize, ‘Did I just … oh my god, I just totally succumbed to what he wanted me to do.’ He has a very charming way of doing that.”

THE UNDIVA At her upcoming Santa Cruz concerts—the first on June 24 at the Santa Cruz Civic, followed

by June 25 at the Mello Center in Watsonville—Wang will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 with the symphony. For Stewart, this has an important link to Wang’s last concerts in Santa Cruz.

“Last time, we did the last concertos of Prokofiev and Brahms.

This time, we’re going to do the first concertos of Beethoven and Brahms,” he says, his hand moving, conductorlike, to indicate a circular quality.

Of course, whatever connection he’s referring to is probably lost on most people. This is one of the things Wang loves about Stewart.

“We’re both such musical nerds,” she says.

While audiences here may be dazzled by her star power, the upcoming shows are important to Wang for entirely different reasons.

She is going to play-conduct the five Beethoven concertos in Europe in the fall, and “Beethoven One” is the only one of those she’s never played.

Learning such a piece in a short time is daunting enough that “people are like, ‘oh, you’re crazy,’” she says.

“But for us, it’s like we have to get this. It’s this determination. We have to get rid of all the fears, and nothing else matters.”

Stewart and Wang could have set these shows up basically anywhere—in Europe, or a major U.S. city. For Stewart, doing it here was about continuing to build momentum for a program for which he is all in. For Wang, it was about … well, surfing, for one thing.

“Danny’s going to take me surfing, which I’ve also never done. I’m really, really looking forward to that,” she says. “Hopefully I don’t

to give them an autograph while I was on stage. I didn’t know what to do, you know? That never happened to me while I was playing. I was bowing, about to play an encore. I was like, ‘Should I call security?” she says, with a big laugh.

Instead, she gave the autographs, sending the girls off deliriously happy.

Gustavo Dudamel, conductor and artistic director of the L.A. Philharmonic was on the stage, too, and later expressed amazement that such a thing would happen at a Bartok concert, of all places.

“Bartok is known for being really thorny and kind of unpopular,” Wang says.

Just as she was flying high from that experience, though, she got a reality check about the way pop culture works.

“I was feeling happy about having

this sold-out concert. And then yesterday I went to Bjork’s concert.

Same hall, the Disney Hall. And the audience was just so different.

I mean, they jump up before she even started. I go there and nobody knew who I was. One person who did know was like ‘She’s a pianist.’ And it was like ‘Oh, is she a student from Colburn?’”

When she talks about Bjork’s show, she seems to be already planning how she can take her own performance even further out from the typical bounds of classical music.

“People will talk about my dress and stuff, but the way she dressed was this huge thing. Like, she has a mask!

And lighting and everything. There’s just so much production behind the music,” says Wang. “Compared to that, a dress is nothing.”

And this is one of the things Stewart loves about Wang. “She’s

The Santa Cruz Symphony’s ‘Yuja II’ shows featuring Yuja Wang are on Saturday, June 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium and Sunday, June 25 at 2 p.m. at the Mello Center for the Performing Arts in Watsonville. Tickets are $29-$85; go to santacruzsymphony.com.

run into a shark or something.”

It’s no joke—the impact Santa Cruz’s natural beauty had on her in February was a big part of why she wanted to come back.

“Santa Cruz is such a beautiful place. The beaches are so lovely. Same reason I go to Santa Barbara a lot.

Being close to nature is such a special part of being a musician, and we have less and less of that,” she says.

Wang can certainly pick where she wants to play. Before her Santa Cruz concerts, she played Brahms in London, and before that she did an acclaimed program of Bartok in L.A.—a run that epitomized the unheard-of-in-classical level of crossover success she’s reached.

“This week, there are just so many kids coming to my concert. I mean kids like 12, 13, little boys, girls. At one of the concerts, two little girls ran to the front row and asked me

so disarmingly candid,” he says.

“She speaks what’s on her mind, and she has such clarity. The extent to which she’s developed the insane talent that she has? That’s why she’s so well regarded across the board in this profession. Her commitment to this freakish talent is extraordinary.”

Over the years, he’s seen how success affects and changes people, he says. But not her.

“She’s such a down-to-earth, fun, kind, sweet person. It’s amazing how unpretentious she is, despite being arguably the most renowned pianist working today. She’s just the same Yuja I knew 10 years ago.”

Both of them want to bring that same quality of groundedness and accessibility to the music they perform, to delight and surprise audiences. Stewart literally shudders at some of the stuffy clichés classical music has been saddled with, like someone getting glared at for clapping at the wrong time.

“Ugh, it’s terrible,” he says. “We don’t need any of that. That’s not what it’s about. It’s not what Mozart was about. It’s not what Verdi was about.”

Similarly, Wang hates the notion of classical music as some kind of “ivory tower where you can never get up to the sublime idea. It’s not that. The music is down-to-earth,” she says.

“It’s written by people who are made of blood and meat just as we are—and probably enjoy surfing, as well.”

In fact, she may have stumbled upon the real reason Beethoven was so famously grumpy: “Because he couldn’t go surfing in Vienna.”

So if that’s what it takes for the world at large to notice their musical insurgency, then fine, go ahead and call Wang the Beyonce of classical music.

“As long as I haven’t turned into the Eminem,” she says, “it’s okay.”

never seen anything like it. “This is Santa Cruz,” I remember thinking.

last week when I rushed out of our downtown office to visit him in Capitola, where he is recovering from a massive stroke. When I arrived at Pacific Coast Manor, he was sitting in his wheelchair, a sizable chunk of his skull noticeably absent from the right side of his head.

But his sense of humor remained

intact—he was joking with the nurse administering his electrical stimulation, singing a little tune: “Christina, the village queen-a,” and chuckling.

sale fundraiser at the MAH on June 17 to benefit Shoen’s recovery.

On February 10, a blood clot shot through Schoen’s carotid artery, into his brain, and started to hemorrhage. He was airlifted to Stanford where they removed a portion of his skull to allow the brain’s swelling to subside (the surgery to replace it was on June 6).

When he first came to in the hospital, Schoen was confused, he remembers.

“I was coming to grips with the reality of my condition: ‘Oh, my left hand doesn’t work right now, oh.

I won’t be hanging art for a while.’

And then time is going by and going by and piling up, and you’re laying in bed more than you ever have in your entire life, with a diaper on,” says Schoen. “And then I have obsessions, and I’m impulsive, so I'm trying to do stuff from the bed, like my taxes.

I exhaust the people who are helping me, because I’m like a rocket.”

The right side of Shoen’s brain was the most impacted by his stroke, so it’s his left extremities that were rendered immobile. He can’t use his left side, and can’t read the first two words of a sentence. At the MAH, where Schoen started in 2006, he was constantly climbing 12-foot ladders, hanging projectors and mounting art.

Still, he finds things to keep his spirits up.

“I watched all three Hannibal Lecter movies the other day, and now I just look at people and think, ‘How can I eat their face?’” Schoen says with a smirk and a laugh.

That’s Robbie, says Marla Nova, who’s worked alongside Schoen at the MAH for more than a decade.

“He gets away with it because he smiles and goes ‘ahahah.’ He always makes things fun,” says Novo. “It’s a really great thing to work with people that you enjoy.”

On Feb. 10, Novo had a haircut appointment behind the MAH at noon.

On her way, she saw Schoen setting up for the museum’s annual Red Ball.

“Every time I’ve ever seen Robbie throughout the years we acknowledge each other, and I was late for my appointment so I saw him and he didn’t say anything.

Then I went to my hair appointment and about 10 minutes later he had the stroke. It always haunted me

that I didn’t get to say hi to him.”

Thankfully, says Novo, Schoen happened to be in the second-floor Solari gallery at the MAH where visitors saw him collapse and called 911.

“That was a hard day. It still seems unreal when someone’s life is changed so drastically,” she says.

“But then you look for the happy moments and see that he has such loving support around him. He wants to get better and is getting better, that’s a beautiful thing.”

So far, 130 local artists have rallied around Schoen by donating their works for the Art for Robbie event—which is the day after Schoen’s 59th birthday, and will serve as an extra big birthday celebration for the guest of honor.

They’ve had to start turning artists away, says Sellery, because the MAH won’t be able to hold all the art donated for the event, which will offer all pieces for $200, in addition to a live auction featuring the works of Thomas Campbell, Glenn Carter, Tobin Keller, Tim Craighead, Coeleen Kiebert, Daniella Woolf, and Schoen.

There’ll be mixed media, sculptures, paintings, prints, a little bit of everything from the community’s best-known artists, says Sellery, program director for the Cabrillo Gallery.

“What we realized is he needs more care than what his subsidized insurance can give, and there is such a long road to recovery,” says Sellery.

That’s why all proceeds from the event benefit Schoen’s recovery, says Sellery, in addition to the youcaring.com page, set up for direct donations by his daughter, Nikita.

Weeks ago, Schoen told his partner, Jet—who has MS, and for whom Schoen was previously the primary caretaker—that he dreamt his MAH coworkers had come to the hospital with protest signs to get him out.

So, that’s precisely what they did.

“He’s touched so many people and they’re here and rallying for him.

He’s always so thankful to everybody helping,” says Novo. “The last time we talked, I said, ‘It’s going to be a great summer,’ and he said, ‘Yeah, it is. I survived.”

SPECIAL NIGHT Lee Fields brings his band the Expressions to the Catalyst on Friday, June 16.

Fields of Dreams JUNE 14-20, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Lee Fields brings an uncompromising humanism, and even his own nighttime visions, to the soul revival BY CAT JOHNSON

30

L

ee Fields considers himself a Southern gentleman. Born and raised in North Carolina, he grew up listening to Motown, soul, and what he refers to—with old-time flair—as “countrywestern.” Even though Fields “moved north” when he was 17, this combination of soul and country still defines his music, which includes elements of everything he heard as a youngster, both on the radio and in his everyday life.

“I have a deep appreciation for country-western music because of my upbringing,” he says. “Instead of just being introduced to one kind of music, I was introduced to a whole host of music. In school, they

would teach us the classics, like Beethoven, Bach, Chopin and the rest of ’em. My musical appetite, at a young age, was satisfied.”

Fields, who is now in his mid-60s, is part of a soul revival wave that’s introducing young people to the sounds and styles of classic soul.

Fields and his band, the Expressions, garner comparisons to the Delfonics, the Stylistics and James Brown’s groups. They’re frequently mentioned in the same breath as Charles Bradley and the late, extraordinarily great Sharon Jones—soul artists who, despite a generation gap or two, attract young audiences.

When asked why he thinks young people are drawn to his music and

message, Fields explains that they can feel the “warmness of human beings.” Fields admits to using “a little technology now and then,” but says nothing can top real musicians.

“Technology is a beautiful thing, and I embrace technology,” he says.

“But I don’t believe human beings can be left out of the equation. Back in the day, there were tons and tons of young musicians learning to play different instruments. Nowadays, it’s teetering off. You don’t see as many young musicians as you used to. I’m all for technology,” he adds, “and I’m also all for mankind. It’s a happy medium.”

Fields takes an everyperson approach to songwriting. His goal,

when crafting a new tune, is to write about things normal people do and think about—“just general life.” His songs include stories of going to work, dealing with family problems, enjoying simple pleasures and even going to counseling.

“I try to write songs about things that people actually do, and that people will automatically identify with—the basic things in life,” he says. “I sort of veered off and got into a Southern soul sound at one point in the ’90s that was more or less blues. I was singing about love and somebody-did-me-wrong songs and that kind of stuff. Now, I try to get as close as I can to getting on-point with what people are thinking and doing at this very moment.”

On his latest album, 2016’s Special Night, Fields makes a call for environmentalism and global compassion with the tune, “Make the World.” The song was inspired by a dream he had where trees were bare, water polluted, and there were “indications of pain everywhere.”

When Fields woke from the dream, he was gasping because “it was so bad.” When he went back to sleep he recalls that he was taken back into the dream, down that same road to the future—but with a different view.

“I saw the trees with beautiful foliage, the water was clear, people were getting along with each other,” he says. “It was more perfect than I could ever imagine. By having that nightmare and having that good dream about the future, it dawned on me that it hasn’t happened.”

Fields wrote the lyrics to the song to try to convey to listeners that it doesn’t have to.

“We have time,” he says. “I’m not going to say we have plenty of time, but we have time to act now and show concern about each other and show concern about the planet and not be so selfish and act like this whole world is just about us.”

Fields’ warmth, concern and humanness shine through in his music, his lyrics and in conversation.

As he explains, his big-picture perspective is an appreciation of life and a love of humanity.

“Love is the answer,” he says.

“That’s what I try to put in my music.”

Lee Fields & the Expressions will perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, June 16, at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

Cultivating Community in Times of Change

By Tom Karwin Each year since 2005, the Garden Faire has convened in Scotts Valley to celebrate sustainable gardening, water conservation, and healthy living in the Monterey Bay area. The event, always on the Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice, will be held 9 to 5 on Saturday, June 17, at Scotts Valley’s Skypark.

The 2017 theme “Cultivating Community in Times of Change,” emphasizes timely and interconnected issues: growing plants and society, and the opportunities and challenges of current environmental and political conditions.

Fill’er up!

A unique pet supply store experience with: All-natural pet foods.

Grooming for all breeds of dogs and cats.

Pet events on weekends.

These are NO wimpy burgers!

The Faire’s program evolves with each year, with certain constants:

Breakfast & Lunch Daily

The consistent—and greatly appreciated—support of local water providers, specifically the San Lorenzo Valley, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, and Soquel Creek water districts.

Additional local sponsors, many of whom are “regulars,” support the Faire’s values and help to keep admission free.

The water providers’ long-standing interest in the Garden Faire reflects the fact that about 50% of residential water use happens outdoors, largely for garden irrigation.

That usage is reasonable when done wisely:

• Using landscape plants appropriate for the local environment, particularly plants that are native to California or at least to our summer-dry climate;

• Avoiding tropical climate plants that require a lot of water;

• Providing only the amount of water that plants need by using drop irrigation, turning off irrigation after (or during!) rainy spells, and directing water to the plants rather than to paved surfaces.

Water conservation is always good practice, because drought conditions could return at any time, and it pays off in smaller water bills.

Our water districts also protect the watershed. Gardeners support this by using organic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. These products are best for our water supply as well as for soil quality and the well-being of all wildlife: mammals, birds, insects and the incredible diversity of organisms that make up the soil food web.

The Garden Faire presents messages in various ways, without preaching, including knowledgeable Main Tent speakers on sustainable gardening, and Nutrition Tent speakers on healthy foods.

JUNE 14-20, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Speakers include:

36

• Rich Merrill, past chair of Cabrillo College’s impressive Horticulture Department, on his vision of “The Ecological Future of Homescapes and Foodscapes;”

• Mark Lipson, Senior Analyst and Program Director, Organic Farming Research Foundation;

• LeAnne Ravinale, Scotts Valley Water District, on “Redoing Front Yard Gardens;”

• Dr. Anna Lopez, Executive Director, Center for Farmworkers Families.

Vendors will offer landscape plants, products and services. Community groups will offer information related to sustainable gardening and healthy living. The Santa Cruz Gardeners’ Exchange invites visitors to bring—or take—garden-related items, e.g., plants, garden books, garden and pond supplies, tools, garden accents.

With musical entertainment and healthy food choices, it all adds up to a pleasant environment to celebrate gardening, learn a bit, and enjoy a sunny day among friends from the community.

Participants include the Monterey Bay Master Gardeners, the Monterey Bay Iris Society, the Water Conservation Coalition of Santa Cruz County, and others.

The Garden Faire offers free admission, made possible by local sponsors, modest fees paid by exhibitors, and a hardworking team of volunteers.

LOCAL BAND CYGNE

At the end of 2015, local musician Cygne (pronounced “Seen”) played a show in downtown Paris. The next day, terrorists killed more than a hundred people just a block away.

This wasn’t the only eye-opening moment the singer-songwriter experienced during that European tour. She recalls seeing refugee camps all over Copenhagen, and in nearly every town she visited.

JUNE 14-20, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I was very aware of having this magical passport that let me fly across borders. Meanwhile, it’s the largest humanitarian crisis of my lifetime,” Cygne says. “It shifted my awareness, trying to come to terms with my own privilege and place in that.”

48

This trip inspired her latest album, Let It Breathe. Cygne has made an album nearly every year over the past decade, but the intense emotionality behind the record, combined with a larger recording budget—thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign— made this a particularly potent collection of indie-folk. She was able to mix folk, blues and chamber elements with grace, beauty and incredible passion.

If all goes well, she’d like to take some time off of touring and work on a book about her travels.

“I’ve learned a lot from being with other people and seeing how many ways there are to live that work for people that wouldn’t work for someone else,” Cygne says. AARON CARNES INFO: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 21.

KEHLANI

WED & THU 6/14 & 6/15 POP/SOUL

KEHLANI Born and raised in Oakland, singer-songwriter Kehlani is a standout of contemporary soul in the Bay Area and beyond. Kehlani entered the spotlight as part of the group PopLyfe, but in 2014 released her first solo mixtape—teaming up with artists such as G-Eazy and Zayn—and started performing around the Bay. She quickly gained recognition as an artist to watch, and was eventually nominated for a Grammy award for Best Urban Contemporary Album for her breakout mixtape, You Should Be Here. On Wednesday and Thursday, Kehlani and her crew perform at the Catalyst. Also on the bill is British R&B singer Ella Mai. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25. 423-1338.

THURSDAY 6/15 JAZZ

STANLEY CLARKE Before Jaco Pastorius appeared on the scene and rewrote the rules

for electric bass, Stanley Clarke was the teenage wunderkind who transformed the instrument into an essential component in the emerging fusion movement. He became a star in the original, Brazilian-steeped version of Chick Corea’s Return to Forever, and continued to propel the band when it turned into the turbo-charged supergroup with Lenny White and Al DiMeola. The quadruple Grammy winner has thrived as a bandleader, producer and prolific Hollywood composer sought out for television and film scores (including Boyz n the Hood, The Transporter, and Roll Bounce).

Pop Festival with five bands covering classic rock favorites from Janis Joplin, the Jefferson Airplane, the Animals, the Mamas & the Papas, and—of course—Jimi Hendrix. While there likely won’t be any guitars set on fire, there will be plenty of people listening, some who will play, some who might give flowers away, and you don’t even have to be down in Monterey to enjoy the fun.

What better way to honor the film’s legacy than to party with Lost Boys star Corey Feldman. What kind of music does Feldman play?

Self-dubbed “The Greatest Rock ’n’ Roll Band On Earth” the Supersuckers have been throwing down should-be hits since their inception in 1988. Led by Eddie Spaghetti, the band blazes through a mix of rock, country and cowpunk for a whiskey-drenched sound that is uniquely American. The band’s live shows are infamously wild and known to leave audiences’ feet sore from dancing, and pants off from too much rocking. Like the song says, he’s Eddie Spaghetti, here to rock your ass steady. MW

rock, rumba, flamenca and more, Los Pinguos is a standout on the international music scene. Formed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the band now resides in Los Angeles, but has a fan base that reaches around the world.

Possessing a sound that’s been described as “both melodic and tough,” San Francisco-based DJ and producer Justin Martin is a force on the international electronic music scene.

On July 7, Martin performs at the Catalyst as part of Euphoric’s Northern Nights Music Festival pre-party. Also on the bill: Bay Area DJ and producer Ardalan. CAT JOHNSON

Strained Relations JUNE 14-20, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Widow charms vengeful in-law in ‘My Cousin Rachel’ BY LISA JENSEN

54

I

t’s all about the brooding atmosphere in My Cousin Rachel.

Written and directed by Roger Michell, it’s a handsomely produced, meticulously crafted adaptation of the classic Daphne Du Maurier novel, a tale of psychological intensity wrapped in the trappings of 19th century Gothic melodrama. Mystery, revenge, and romantic obsession all play a part in a plot that seems to shift gears as often as the whims of its impressionable young protagonist.

But like the best Du Maurier stories—and the best movies made from them—it resists attempts to slot it into any one genre. For all the shadowy interiors glimpsed by flickering candlelight, and the

vast, sweeping aerial views of the spectacular windswept seacoast of Cornwall, My Cousin Rachel has more going on below the surface than the typical Gothic romance.

And if the mystery at the center of the story is less cleanly resolved than some viewers might like, the fact that you keep questioning the story and harrying it from different viewpoints long after the lights come up adds an extra dimension of interactive intrigue.

Set in the Victorian era, it’s the story of Philip, a little boy who loses his parents, and is taken in by his older cousin, Ambrose. Philip grows up at his bachelor cousin’s country estate in Cornwall, where he and Ambrose work alongside the (mostly male)

dependents who keep the sheep ranch running. Even the house servants are men. “The only females allowed in the house were the dogs,” says Philip.

Soon after Philip comes home from boarding school as a young man (now played by Sam Claflin), Ambrose is ordered to go to Italy for his health.

His letters home begin to revolve around an intriguing half-Italian Englishwoman, Rachel, with whom he is smitten, and whom he soon marries.

But Philip is unclear on the concept of marriage, given his upbringing. Asked if he never wondered if his cousin might “need a woman,” Philip says, “Why? He had me.”

But Ambrose dies suddenly, and Philip is eager to blame the mysterious, unknown Rachel—

especially when his cousin’s last letter is more like a cry for help.

When he gets word that Rachel is coming to visit the estate, Philip determines to confront her with his suspicions and see her punished.

But the cold reception he plans for her heats up when he gets his first look at Rachel herself (the everbeauteous Rachel Weisz), and finds himself charmed by her warmth, humor, and sense of honor.

From this point on, the plot unfolds at a brisk pace that keeps the audience guessing. Loyalties shift, assumptions are questioned, schemes are hatched, and expectations are confounded or confirmed—and then confounded again. It all plays out within a series of familiar, yet lusciously rendered Gothic tropes: altered wills, cryptic notes, mysteriously brewed potions.

This is hardly a conventional whodunit—or even a question of whether an “it” was done at all.

It’s more compelling as a character study of two alien life forms on a collision course. Weisz’ socially poised and worldly Rachel bristles that Philip thinks he can control her with love or things, yet can be so meltingly vulnerable, any interpretation might fit her. Claflin, fresh from his terrific turn as the acerbic, wisecracking scriptwriter in Their Finest, plays in the opposite key here, a youth whose towering, if instantaneous passions are matched only by his aching gaucheness. (In a sly casting decision, Claflin also plays an equally unsophisticated Ambrose in the prologue.)

Veteran filmmaker Michell has made a career out of small movies with an independent feel (including my favorite Jane Austen adaptation, Persuasion, in 1995). My Cousin Rachel is a bracing homage to the Du Maurier spirit that invites us to ponder, but never tells us exactly what to think.

MY COUSIN RACHEL *** (out of four) With Rachel Weisz, Sam Claflin, Holliday Grainger, and Iain Glen. Written and directed

by Roger Michell. From the novel by Daphne Du Maurier. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated PG-13. 106 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

all the way to Congress. Gabriela Cowperthwaite directs. Kate Mara, Bradley Whitford, Geraldine James co-star. (PG-13) 116 minutes.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 The fate of the universe lies on Baby Groot’s shoulders. The universe is screwed. James Gunn directs. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista co-star. (PG-13) 136 minutes.

THE MUMMY Tom Cruise goes into the desert, shoots a thing in an ancient tomb that he wasn’t supposed to, and then unleashes a super hot, super dead ancient princess. Classic American white man superiority complex leading to destruction and chaos in other countries. Alex Kurtzman directs.

Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis co-star. (PG-13) 110 minutes.

HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER Maximo used to be quite the stud, seducing women left and right. 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. (PG-13) 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 powerhungry 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.

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.

MEGAN LEAVEY Megan Leavey joined the Marines to escape her life. What she found, was a surprising best friend in the form of military combat dog Rex who taught her how to love—and saved her life.

This is the true story of how Leavey brought her fight to adopt Rex

MY COUSIN RACHEL Reviewed this Issue. Roger Michel directs.

Rachel Weisz, Sam Claflin, Iain Glen co-star. (PG-13) 106 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 semi-wilted 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 co-star. (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 costar. (PG-13) 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 co-stars. (R) 91 minutes.

WAKEFIELD Howard Wakefield wants a change. So, he disappears.

Except, he’s just moved into the attic and now watches from afar as his wife, kids, and loved ones grieve his disappearance. Robin Swicord directs. Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Garner, Beverly D’Angelo co-star.

(R) 106 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 Things were simpler for the princess of the Amazons before modern warfare showed up in Diana’s sandy paradise and a handsome Chris fell from the sky. Once she learns of the war to end all wars, Diana leaves home to become Wonder Woman and fulfill her destiny.

Directed by a female director and played by Gal Gadot? Gurl Power shirts on people, this is about to get real. Patty Jenkins directs.

Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright costar. (PG-13) 141 minutes.

Birichino Tasting Room prepares to open BY CHRISTINA WATERS

58

T

he mid-century building at 204 Church St. offers plenty of creamy natural light and a vintage footprint for what will be downtown’s newest wine tasting location. Before its current transformation into Birichino Tasting Room—in progress—the long, high-ceilinged space was home to Blodgett Travel, and more recently housed Pure Pleasure. Surely both a sense of journey as well as pleasure will be channeled into the new home of wines made by partners Alex Krause and John Locke, who first joined playful intelligences working with Randall Grahm at Bonny Doon Vineyard. I got a preview glimpse last week of the handsome cast pewter bar—1,100 pounds of crucial ambience. Clusters of vintage

photographs, old topographic maps, lithographs and other eclectic visual metaphors will adorn the new tasting room. A saloon-sized mirror, deep sea-green silk wall treatment, and tchotchkes of prankster proportions should add chic to the space that will include wine storage, tasting accoutrements and retail inventory.

The partners are admittedly stoked about just how cool and welcoming the downtown tasting room will be upon completion. “We are very much the exception,” Locke admits, noting that Birichino (pronounced “beer-akeeno,” Italian for “naughty”) first established national and international visibility and distribution, before opening a tasting room. “You cannot really duplicate the experience of pouring for and talking to a consumer

in an environment of our own creation,” he says, with a broad grin.

“We might not reach a huge number of people, but we have a much better chance of creating loyal customers by lavishing attention directly upon them rather than through tech sheets and trade tastings.” Locke, as founding wine maestro at Soif, is a master of lavishing attention and wine lore in equal proportions.

Yes, there have been the usual permit-driven delays in getting the tasting room completed. But with distribution well in place, those delays weren’t fatal. Expect to see Krause and Locke in person, on site. “We will absolutely be there a significant amount of time,” Locke promises. “But harvest will be upon us in the blink of an eye.” And that

means the winemakers will need to spend time in the vineyards—the huge seasonal crunch that is part of the “romance” of winemaking.

Helping to remodel and transform the space are Greg Nolen and son Evan of Nolen Technical Services.

“They also give us great ideas, and tell us when ours are lunacy,” Locke adds. “John McKelvey, an old friend of Alex’s is our architect. Stripe has helped on many design elements. The saving grace of Birichino is that Alex and I are able to develop a common vision for everything we do. He is the world’s best business partner. With the help of these people, we have been able to put together a design we both love and agree upon.”

Locke is aware of the amount of work ahead in terms of shaping the brand and creating the wines. “We have arrived at the late-middle first step on a great Escheresque staircase.

I feel like I am just beginning to really be familiar with two of our wines—the Malvasia Bianca and the Besson Old Vine Grenache. I mean really understand. There is such a vast chasm between pretty good wine and the real thing. Anyone who thinks they have mastered a vineyard after a few years is delusional.”

The most satisfying aspect of all of this? “Standing in a beautiful vineyard on a beautiful day and wondering how you tease the most out of it. Winemaking is a great exercise in synthesis of knowledge, experience, data and aesthetic sensibility. It is not all philosophical B.S.,” he says.

At the Birichino tasting room, locals will be able to sample some of the house signatures—including the Besson Vineyard Grenache, a highly approachable creation of old vine grapes loaded with character, spice, cranberries, and coastal attitude, and the sprightly Malvasia Bianca. The 2017 vintage will bring more Pinot Noirs into the Birichino stable. “And a fizzy Malvasia we call Petulant Naturel as well as our Vin Gris and our Jurassic Park Chenin Blanc,” he says. Locke also promises a methode champenoise Chenin Blanc coming online this year. “We shall have to see what the vineyard wants to do.” birichino.com.

ince I discovered Burn’s vibrantly hued fermented hot sauce last year, it’s become a staple in my kitchen, boosting everything I drizzle it on with dynamic spiciness. Then, their escabeche earned a permanent spot in my pantry—the pickled jalapenos, carrots, garlic and spicy brine are a flavor-packed powerhouse that takes soups, quesadillas and salsa to the next level. Now, Burn has started making breakfast on Saturday mornings at the Westside Farmers Market, and they’ve hooked me again.

Before she and partner Chase Atkins started Burn at the end of 2015, Amanda Pargh worked with such top-tier chefs as Suzanne Goin at Lucques, Thomas Keller at Ad Hoc and David Kinch at Michelinstarred Manresa before moving to Santa Cruz. Deeply inspired by the incredible produce available at the farmers markets where she and Atkins vend their sauce, she creates her breakfast menu each week to showcase the best produce the local farms have to offer.

What I love about the way Pargh cooks is that she respects her

ingredients too much to disguise them. Rather, she deftly combines them to be greater than the sum of their parts, each ingredient becoming even more vibrant. Last Saturday, Pargh’s menu included avocado toast with an herb salad of mint, cilantro, basil and radish topped with a crispy fried egg with a molten center and Burn fermented jalapenos; fried potatoes with broccolini, asparagus, a fried egg and dill-cream sauce; a farmers market bowl with cow’s milk yogurt, toasted buckwheat-coconut-quinoa granola topped with strawberries and plump olallieberries; a snap pea slaw with raw zucchini, green onion, purple cabbage and lemon; and cornbread with honey butter. Of course, you’re welcome to spice it up with their range of single-variety hot sauces.

“Everything we’re serving is from the area and organically grown. It’s feel-good food,” says Pargh. “Breakfast is the most fun meal of the day. It’s my favorite meal and it makes me happy to serve it. I love starting people’s day off with something fun and vibrant because hopefully they’ll feel like that for the rest of the day.”

Margins Wine Winery seeks underrepresented regions, vineyards and varietals BY JOSIE COWDEN

M

egan Bell greeted me outside the Holy Cross Parish Hall in Santa Cruz. I was on my way to a function there, and it seemed like a good central spot to meet up.

Smiling broadly, bottle of wine in hand, Bell had emailed me about her new endeavor, Margins Wine.

She named it Margins, explains Bell, because she is crafting wines using grapes from “as many underrepresented regions, vineyards and varietals as possible.” Right now, her first production consists of Chenin Blanc 2016 with grapes harvested from Wilson Vineyards in Clarksburg, Yolo County.

Opening the wine the very next day to enjoy with dinner, I was impressed with its aromas of flowers, honey and apples, and flavorful acidic punch.

And as you won’t find an abundance of Chenin Blanc on most liquor store shelves, kudos go to Bell for making this varietal.

“Much like people living on the margins of society,” says Bell, vineyards can be outcasts, too.

Margins draws attention to grape varietals, regions and vineyards

throughout northern and central California that find themselves on the margins without the recognition they deserve,” she says. It looks like Bell is about to change all that.

The Chenin Blanc 2016 sells for $24, and you can contact Bell is you want to try some. Visit marginswine. com for more info.

SPARKLING WINE AT CANTINE I met with a friend for a glass of wine at one of my favorite places, Cantine Winepub in Aptos, and she urged me to try a sparkling wine called 3B Rosé Extra Bruto. The 3B is from Portugal and it’s a blend of Baga and Bical, two native grape varieties. Pink and sassy, it’s a fun drop of bubbly that sells for around $25. We ordered one of Cantine’s delicious small plates of food to pair with the bubbly, and then polished off the rest of the bottle. Cantine is a cozy spot for a glass of wine in a casual and welcoming atmosphere.

THE SPIRIT OF A PEOPLE June 12-18 is National Flag Week. Wednesday is Flag Day. Flags, flapping and waving in the air, are symbols. They reflect the visions and aspirations of the state, country, nation and the people the flag flies over. Flags are art forms. While not a legal holiday in the U.S., Flag Day is a federally recognized day that dates back to 1870. The U.S. flag was created on June 14, 1777.

The study of flags is called vexillology (new vocabulary word). Flag Day prepares us for the U.S. July 4 birthday. President Woodrow Wilson said about the flag, “The flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought, and our purpose as a nation. It has no character (other) than that which we give it from generation to generation.

The choice is ours.”

Flag Day, celebrated June 14, observes and memorializes the adoption of the U.S. flag, June

14, 1777, one year after the Declaration of Independence (1776).

Flag Day celebrations include: Quincy, Massachusetts, with the longest running flag parade and Troy, New York with the largest parade. Flag Day is a three-day event in Three Oaks, Michigan. They have the largest and oldest flag in the nation. June 14 is also the birthday of the U.S. Army.

A flag represents a nations’ freedom and ideals, loyalty to the nation, a belief in liberty, justice and unity. Our U.S. flag is called “Old Glory” or the “star-spangled banner.”

Colors, emblems, shapes on a flag are deeply symbolic. Vigilance, perseverance, justice, prosperity, peace, revolution, determination, valor, freedom. Flags represent the art and spirit of a people.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You are known for individuality and freedom of expression.

Only Aquarius rivals you in this. In times to come, the urge for individual creativity and freedom becomes extreme.

Because you must initiate changes in the present culture, the planet Uranus will radicalize and revolutionize you. Expect unexpected changes—part of the Divine Plan to “make all things new,” for which you’re partially responsible.

Careful with relationships, marriage, partnerships, close intimate connections. They may either be disrupted by sudden change or they may feel wounded. The outcomes can last far into the future. Develop more stability through truthful and caring listening, asking questions, communicating more. These will absorb unexpected upsets when everything turns upside down. Health wise, careful with the liver and pancreas. Eat accordingly.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 14, 2017

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You need to be out and about most of the time because you often feel a certain claustrophobia. Sometimes you find you must be and work alone so your intuitive and investigative gifts can be fully accessed. As usual you avoid anything that feels like an opposition, attempting instead to flow with the accepted reality. Something or someone shatters this calmness. It is not comfortable, yet it’s needed. Keep going.

These are NO wimpy burgers!

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Nothing routine will occur in your daily life, concerning work or health or communication. The disruptions will prove to be creative for you, helping to develop new abilities that express new and original ideas. Instead focus your energy into inventing things. As you upset the apple carts wherever you are, you become the change maker—greatly needed everywhere. Tend to your health with the utmost care.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Everything you say has importance. All that you do has importance. Your hopes, dreams, wishes, friends, groups and associates are important. Your life goals and ambitions, always changing, unplanned, unpredictable are important. Your mind, even unsettled, is important.

As your life twists and turns, and as you search for the Soul of yourself, you becoming liberated and forward thinking. You thought that could never happen.

Within your great level of creativity you find the need for more self-control, which would also provide you with more self-knowledge. This is interesting. Through discipline you come to know yourself more, your needs and then a new level of creativity arises. Speculation is costly. Instead focus on independent thinking and how to break with all that is old. You are crying for liberation.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Flashes of intuition and insight occur. It’s good to create a new Insight journal. So many journals for an esoteric student. Retrograde journal, New and Full Moon journal.

Now an Insight journal. Insights help us to see behind fogs, miasmas, glamours and illusions. People will see that you have changed. Begin to explain your thoughts and actions to others so they can understand step by step the source of your knowledge. You will teach them.

As you attempt each day of your life to bring constancy and calmness to your home, know that sudden upsets may occur there. Moments of unexpected freedom occur too. And a sense of life for you as a state of constant transformation. You assess present needs with past needs and see how much has changed. As life proceeds into states of breakdown, new opportunities arise. Look for these changes, write and communicate about them.

You will be creating a new tradition.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

In the coming weeks and months, notice a new and different philosophy of life emerging. You may consider a utopian view of how to live your life, perhaps in community with others. Living with like-minded people, realizing ideas from the past need updating in order to build the new culture and civilization. To be successful in the future one must know and live the new Aquarian Laws and Principles. Unanimity, Goodwill, and Right Human Relations are a few of them.

Be aware that your thinking, communicating, processing information and interacting with others is significant and that it changes people. Careful, therefore in the thoughts you think, which become the ways you speak.

You consider striking out in different directions, going here and there. A rebelliousness erupts, an aspect of advanced and new thinking. You become interested in sources of light. And will begin to think more and more about community. It’s where you belong.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

It’s important to review money, finances, banking, insurance and investments. Make sure they are safe and secure. The economy may behave erratically, with sudden ups and downs in the future. Attempt to stabilize all resources. Consider investing in gold and silver even when the market shifts and changes. Maintain the precious metals in safekeeping (special safes). You are intuitive enough to understand these things.

Often you experience daily life as not steady and stable.

During Earth lives, vicissitudes continually occur. We must hold ourselves with poise no matter what occurs. Material things come and go, unforeseen events upset plans. This is not due to anything you have created. All conditions in our world are changing. The new world is being created. It’s not quite here yet. It’s built through our creative visualizations.

For now, remain near a pine tree and rest a while.

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.”
