OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE

JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A couple of months ago, Steve Kettmann wrote a cover story for GT about the resurgent popularity of George Orwell’s 1984, and what it means for our times. In many ways, his cover story this week feels like a follow-up to that story. It turns out 1984 is not the only book benefitting from our real-life dystopia. Look at sales numbers and you will find some very surprising trends. Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 novel It Can’t Happen Here was mostly forgotten until last November, at which time it became one of the hottest-selling books on Amazon.

What’s it about, you ask? Oh, NBD, just the hypothetical rise of a fascist leader in the U.S. Same for John Steinbeck’s last book, The Winter of Our Discontent,

4

published in 1961. Apparently its plot about a grocery-store clerk who executes a string of immoral ploys to increase his wealth and power— including turning an immigrant in to the feds to gain ownership of the man’s store—is considered by some to have some relevance to our current sociopolitical climate.

Kettmann’s article, however, is focused on the rise of contemporary fiction, as exemplified by the splash that Nathan Hill’s The Nix made last year. The Huffington Post called it “the satirical election novel that Trump’s America deserves.” Which is particularly interesting considering that the Donaldesque character many critics referenced was actually conceived long before Trump ran for office. Kettmann talks to Hill not only about these details of the book, but also about the writing process, and I for one found his insights illuminating.

MY FEET SING OF THEE

VICTORIA TATUM | SANTA CRUZ

Re: “Sea Changer” (GT, 6/7): I remember moving to Santa Cruz in 1977, fresh out of high school, from Corona del Mar. My first job was working for O’Neill at his wetsuit factory on 41st Avenue, gluing wetsuits together. I remember Mike, his son, going into the back of the factory to work on booties. Soon he gave me a pair to try out.

At first, they were hard to get used to, but my feet said, “I love these things.” I then got promoted to sewing up the suits, which included the animal skin. Jack would drop by occasionally to check things out, and everyone was in awe. He was a great man with lots of love who will be missed dearly.

Aloha from Kauai.

BRIAN RALL | KAUAI, HAWAII

SHOPPER’S POET CORNER Thank you for your article on Peter McLaughlin and his poetry. I did not know his poetry. I knew his face from seeing him at Shopper’s Corner, the kind of recognition that is common in a town the size of Santa Cruz. I am richer now for having read his poems. They are brilliant, and I wanted you

VIOLENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY In the aftermath of the recent shooting of a Republican congressional representative by an irate Bernie Sanders supporter, I want to unequivocally condemn all acts of political violence by all people, whether on the left or the right. I also believe it is high time that all people involved in politics become more introspective and learn to deal with their own personal, emotional and psychological problems instead of just simply focusing their self-righteous rage on others. My own brother Wayne was shot and killed by the San Diego police in 1985 after waving a knife and threatening suicide, and although I still condemn police violence, my family was obviously severely dysfunctional despite being active in politics. Learning to confront one’s own flaws, vulnerabilities and unhealed grief and work on oneself is a courageous and responsible act. Politically apathetic people who are learning to be more compassionate and accountable in their personal lives and dealing mindfully with their pain and anger ironically are doing more to heal themselves and the world than the blamers and shamers involved in politics.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 21 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

There are places in the oceans where the sea floor cracks open and spreads apart from volcanic activity.

This allows geothermally heated water to vent out from deep inside the earth. Scientists explored such a place in the otherwise frigid waters around Antarctica. They were elated to find a “riot of life” living there, including previously unknown species of crabs, starfish, sea anemones, and barnacles. Judging from the astrological omens, Aries, I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable eruption of warm vitality from the unfathomable depths. Will you welcome and make use of these raw blessings even if they are unfamiliar and odd?

I don’t know what marketing specialists are predicting about color trends for the general population, but my astrological analysis has discerned the most evocative colors for you Libras. Electric mud is one. It’s a scintillating mocha hue. Visualize silver-blue sparkles emerging from moist dirt tones. Earthy and dynamic! Cybernatural is another special color for you. Picture sheaves of ripe wheat blended with the hue you see when you close your eyes after staring into a computer monitor for hours.

Organic and glimmering! Your third pigment of power is pastel adrenaline: a mix of dried apricot and the shadowy brightness that flows across your nerve synapses when you’re taking aggressive practical measures to convert your dreams into realities. Delicious and dazzling!

TAURUS Apr20–May20 I’m reporting from the first annual Psychic Olympics in Los Angeles. For the past five days, I’ve competed against the world’s top mind-readers, dice-controllers, spirit whisperers, spoon-benders, angel-wrestlers, and stock market prognosticators. Thus far I have earned a silver medal in the category of channeling the spirits of dead celebrities. (Thanks, Frida Kahlo and Gertrude Stein!) I psychically foresee that I will also win a gold medal for most accurate fortune-telling. Here’s the prophecy that I predict will cinch my victory: “People born in the sign of Taurus will soon be at the pinnacle of their ability to get telepathically aligned with people who have things they want and need.”

GEMINI May21–June20 While reading Virginia Woolf, I found the perfect maxim for you to write on a slip of paper and carry around in your pocket or wallet or underwear: “Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.” In the coming weeks, dear Gemini, I hope you keep this counsel simmering constantly in the back of your mind. It will protect you from the dreaminess and superstition of people around you. It will guarantee that you’ll never overlook potent little breakthroughs as you scan the horizon for phantom miracles. And it will help you change what needs to be changed slowly and surely, with minimum disruption.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Now that you’ve mostly paid off one of your debts to the past, you can go window-shopping for the future’s best offers. You’re finally ready to leave behind a power spot you’ve outgrown and launch your quest to discover fresh power spots. So bid farewell to lost causes and ghostly temptations, Cancerian. Slip away from attachments to traditions that longer move you and the deadweight of your original family’s expectations. Soon you’ll be empty and light and free—and ready to make a vigorous first impression when you encounter potential allies in the frontier.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 I suspect you will soon have an up-close and personal encounter with some form of lightning. To ensure it’s not a literal bolt shooting down out of a thundercloud, please refrain from taking long romantic strolls with yourself during a storm. Also, forgo any temptation you may have to stick your finger in electrical sockets. What I’m envisioning is a type of lightning that will give you a healthy metaphorical jolt. If any of your creative circuits are sluggish, it will jump start them. If you need to wake up from a dreamy delusion, the lovable lightning will give you just the right salutary shock.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Signing up to read at the open mic segment of a poetry slam? Buying an outfit that’s a departure from the style you’ve cultivated for years? Getting dance lessons or a past-life reading or instructions on how to hang-glide?

Hopping on a jet for a spontaneous getaway to an exotic hotspot? I approve of actions like those, Virgo. In fact, I won’t mind if you at least temporarily abandon at least 30 percent of your inhibitions.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Do you ever hide behind a wall of detached cynicism? Do you protect yourself with the armor of jaded coolness? If so, here’s my proposal: In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to escape those perverse forms of comfort and safety. Be brave enough to risk feeling the vulnerability of hopeful enthusiasm. Be sufficiently curious to handle the fluttery uncertainty that comes from exploring places you’re not familiar with and trying adventures you're not totally skilled at.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars,” writes Jack Gilbert in his poem “Tear It Down.” He adds that “We find out the heart only by dismantling what the heart knows.” I invite you to meditate on these ideas. By my calculations, it’s time to peel away the obvious secrets so you can penetrate to the richer secrets buried beneath.

It’s time to dare a world-changing risk that is currently obscured by easy risks. It’s time to find your real life hidden inside the pretend one, to expedite the evolution of the authentic self that’s germinating in the darkness.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 When I was four years old, I loved to use crayons to draw diagrams of the solar system. It seems I was already laying a foundation for my interest in astrology. How about you, Capricorn? I invite you to explore your early formative memories. To aid the process, look at old photos and ask relatives what they remember. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your past can show you new clues about what you might ultimately become.

Potentials that were revealed when you were a wee tyke may be primed to develop more fully.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I often ride my bike into the hills. The transition from the residential district to open spaces is a narrow dirt path surrounded by thick woods on one side and a steep descent on the other. Today as I approached this place there was a new sign on a post. It read “Do not enter: Active beehive forming in the middle of the path.” Indeed, I could see a swarm hovering around a tree branch that juts down low over the path. How to proceed? I might get stung if I did what I usually do. Instead, I dismounted from my bike and dragged it through the woods so I could join the path on the other side of the bees. Judging from the astrological omens, Aquarius, I suspect you may encounter a comparable interruption along a route that you regularly take. Find a detour, even if it’s inconvenient.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I bet you’ll be extra creative in the coming weeks. Cosmic rhythms are nudging you towards fresh thinking and imaginative innovation, whether they’re applied to your job, your relationships, your daily rhythm, or your chosen art form. To take maximum advantage of this provocative luck, seek out stimuli that will activate high-quality brainstorms. I understand that the composer André Grétry got inspired when he put his feet in ice water.

Author Ben Johnson felt energized in the presence of a purring cat and by the aroma of orange peels. I like to hang out with people who are smarter than me. What works for you?

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: DOG PARK PATROLS Let’s travel to Mitchell’s Cove after four o’clock from mid-county and see if the traffic allows you to cross this county in any reasonable amount of time to enjoy off-leash recreation with your dog. Santa Cruz County has a terrible ratio of dog parks to population for any city of this size in the nation.

Why are dog owners the bad guys? Why is off-leash dog recreation working in Carmel, Santa Barbara, Huntington Beach, Long Beach?

Why is Santa Cruz County so regressive on this issue? Dog owners have less than 1 percent of that 29 miles of pristine coastline. Why does this

article not explore solutions instead of repeating the same old story?

— KAREN SIMMONS

It is not true that “Santa Cruz County has a terrible ratio of dog parks to population for any city of this size in the nation.” There are 260,000 people in Santa Cruz County, and 13 existing off-leash dog parks. That’s a level of service of five off-leash dog parks per 100,000 residents.

According to the 2010 Trust for Public Lands Survey, that is the highest level of service for any jurisdiction in the United States other than Portland, Oregon, which has 5.8 dog parks per 100,000 people.

KITCHEN GOLD Talya Lutzker, certified Ayurvedic practitioner and author of ‘The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen.’

Roots of Health How to incorporate turmeric into your diet confirmed turmeric’s ability to mitigate inflammation in the body, including a 2009 review published in The International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology that provided evidence that circumin, turmeric’s main bioactive ingredient, may play a role in both the prevention and treatment of inflammatory chronic diseases.

But turmeric’s health-supporting qualities may also extend beyond the body to the mind. A 2013 study published in the journal Behavioural Brain Research showed that curcumin can increase levels of the brain hormone BDNF—low levels of which have been linked to many diseases of the brain, like depression and Alzheimer’s disease. “Turmeric is good at cleaning the blood and

opening circulatory pathways,” says Lutzker, who compares the blood and lymph systems to the two rivers of the body. “There is no way that doesn’t reach the brain.”

Turmeric comes in two forms, which Lutzker notes have different properties. Traditionally, turmeric has been thought of as a spice, when its roots are ground and dried.

This is also the form available in supplements, which Lutzker advises should be combined with black pepper in order to significantly enhance absorption. She adds that the dried form is most appropriate for people whose constitution is wet, oily, and congested, and for those with high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

The fresh form, which can be

urmeric, a tropical-plant cousin of ginger, has roots that are so deeply orange they make tanning bed enthusiasts twinge with pangs of jealousy, and they have left yellow stains on many a cutting board. Native to southern Asia, turmeric’s richly hued roots may bring a wealth of health benefits to those who consume it.

“Turmeric is good for people with inflammation,” says Talya Lutzker, a local certified Ayurvedic practitioner for more than 16 years.

“Most holistic practitioners believe inflammation is at the root of most diseases.” This includes cancer, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and digestive issues, among others. Many studies have

purchased at Asian markets and health food stores, is better for people who tend to have drier and hotter constitutions, says Lutzker, who emphasizes the Ayurvedic principle of taking an individualbased approach. Regardless of whether you choose the dried or fresh, the functionally relevant question is how to regularly incorporate turmeric into the diet.

For the dried and ground form, Lutzker, who is also the author of the cookbook The Ayurvedic Vegan Kitchen, recommends making a simple spice mix that highlights turmeric’s healing ability. She suggests mixing one-fourth cup ground turmeric with one tablespoon each of black pepper, cinnamon and cardamom, and two tablespoons each of ground coriander and dried rosemary.

This mix can then be easily added to a variety of foods like mashed potatoes, salad dressings, vegetables, and even to-go and takeout foods in order to increase their healthfulness. “Always put turmeric with two to three other ‘spice friends’ to aid in assimilating it deep into the tissues,” says Lutzker. “I also really love to put turmeric on eggs. It is a digestively supportive spice for protein digestion,” she says, adding that the spice mix makes a great rub for meat dishes.

Another trendy way to eat more turmeric is in “golden milk,” which is simply any type of milk—animal or plant-based—warmed to infuse it with turmeric and other spices. It’s easy to make at home, but is also beginning to appear in stores.

To get more fresh turmeric into the diet, Lutzker says you can use it exactly like garlic or ginger. “One of my favorite things to do with turmeric is to grate it,” she says, recommending two tablespoons on top of soups. “You can also chop it into discs and infuse any pot of grain, like rice,” she adds.

No matter which form is consumed, Lutzker emphasizes the importance of breathing. “The most powerful antiinflammatory we have is oxygen,” she says. “If someone really wants to get the most out of their turmeric, take five deep breaths before taking the first bite. It makes a world of difference to get present before you eat.”

NEWS MEANING TO SAY A UCSC class in honor of Mary Holmes exploring the big questions—on meaning, paradox and love

JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ANDREA PATTON

In his four years helping UCSC students search for deeper meaning in their lives, artist Addi Somekh has seen firsthand the impact of young people discussing big concepts.

“Teaching is a very spiritual job, because you’re broadcasting these seeds, and you don’t know where they’ll end up in the future,” says Somekh, a UCSC grad himself, reflecting on his recent class, Meaning, Paradox, and Love, which wrapped up earlier this month. “You’re almost like a prism where the light shoots through you, and then it shoots out in all these different directions, and the light gets picked up by someone else and they’re going to run with it.”

Somekh’s spring class—inspired by many conversations with his mentor Mary Holmes—is part philosophy and part writing, with an emphasis on connecting with others through deep personal conversations. Every student interviewed someone in the community more than 70 years old to talk about life. In a town where many locals often bemoan the disconnect between university students and the rest of the city, each conversation bridged a “generational divide,” Somekh says, establishing an intimate bond between complete strangers.

“It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life,” says Georgia Sullivan, a freshman anthropology student.

Somekh was a student at UCSC from 1990-1994, and he met Holmes when he was 19 years old at Penny University, an informal gathering created by Cowell College Founder Paige Smith. (The group has been meeting every Monday for nearly 40 years.) Holmes, who was among Cowell’s founding faculty, was 80 at the time, and she taught lessons that he’s passed onto his students, he says.

“Mary would say that everybody has to find some meaning in life,” says Somekh, who’s bounced back and forth over the years between Santa Cruz and Los Angeles, where he returned after the school year ended. “People won’t live meaningless lives.

So the search for meaning is universal.

The nature of paradox is universal, >16

Will the next pipeline fight be on the West Coast? BY WILL PARRISH

O

n a rainy November afternoon, about 20 Northern Californians joined a 200-person rally outside the Oregon capitol in Salem. They had assembled partly in support of the struggle against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in North Dakota.

In the weeks prior, police on the northern Great Plains had inflicted beatings on anti-DAPL protesters, and shot hundreds with concussion grenades and rubber bullets. At this Salem demonstration, the main focus was an infrastructure project similar to the DAPL, but much closer to home.

Spurred by the newfound ability to extract vast shale deposits from the Rocky Mountains’ western

slopes via hydraulic fracturing (or “fracking”), a Canadian oil and gas company named Veresen has proposed to ship natural gas from the Rockies west to Asian markets via a newly constructed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon, where gas would be chilled and liquefied for easier and cheaper storage and transport.

Known as the Jordan Cove Energy Project, it would be the first Pacific Coast LNG terminal.

The 233-mile Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline would originate at a natural gas transport hub near Malin, Oregon, and snake beneath five major rivers on its way to Coos Bay. Among them is the mighty Klamath, which rises in southern Oregon and meets the ocean roughly

240 miles away, at the Humboldt County line.

At the Salem rally, indigenous people from the Klamath Basin talked about building a stronger interstate alliance against the project. “We gotta help our neighbors, the Oregonians!” a Hoopa Valley tribal member who identified herself as Missy and lives along the Klamath River in California said into a bullhorn. “They may not know they need our help. But they need our help!”

FRACK ATTACK The nationwide boom in horizontal fracking has fostered proposals to push oil and natural gas out to coastal ports through newly constructed pipelines, but resistance to these plans is also increasing, in part >14

LONG TIME COMING

because thousands of people who visited Standing Rock last fall returned home and took up local fights.

In 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) twice rejected Veresen’s application to build the Jordan Cove Energy Project. Leaders of the President Donald Trump administration have vowed to see the project through.

At a presentation to the Institute of International Finance forum in Washington on April 20, Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council (and former Goldman Sachs president), vowed that Trump will step up approvals for LNG export terminals in the name of boosting the economy and specifically referenced Jordan Cove.

California has a critical link to the Jordan Cove project: the 680-mile Ruby Pipeline, completed in 2011, which delivers the natural gas from the Rocky Mountain gas fields to Oregon. Northern California’s main electricity supplier, PG&E, is one of three companies that helped build the pipeline and remains a part owner.

PG&E’s network of pipelines delivers Ruby Pipeline gas to the Golden State.

The Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline would tie into the Ruby Pipeline, and the Jordan Cove Energy Project could not be built without it.

Opponents of the Jordan Cove project are mounting pressure on Oregon’s elected officials to stop the project, but even the state’s Democratic Party leaders have either embraced the project or stood aside.

So far, a combination of grassroots opposition—some of it from California tribes—and questionable economics have delayed the project. Now many opponents are talking about possibly creating a massive direct action civil disobedience campaign.

Perry Chocktoot, a tribal council member of the Klamath Tribes in Chiloquin, Oregon, says that indigenous people throughout the region will increasingly assert themselves in the struggle going forward. “If this thing gets approved,” he says, “we’re going to call tribes from all over the U.S., Mexico and Canada, to ask for solidarity.”

The struggle over Jordan Cove began more than a decade ago. FERC first considered the project in 2007. Back then, Veresen proposed it as an import project to funnel gas shipped from Russia or the Middle East to consumers on the West Coast, especially California.

In 2009, FERC issued a permit, but vacated the decision in 2012 as import prospects sank. Then the meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima power plant created a different opportunity. After the disaster, Japan and other Asia Pacific countries began phasing out nuclear power and replacing it with LNG. In 2013, Veresen submitted an application that re-envisioned the Jordan Cove terminal, this time for the opposite scenario—a project for exports, one that could ship 1 billion cubic feet of gas a day. That’s enough to meet 8 percent of Japan’s current demand.

FERC denied the application last year, noting that the company failed to prove that adequate demand for its product exists in Asia and also citing “significant opposition from directly-impacted landowners.”

In September, Trump criticized the Jordan Cove project on the campaign trail. In February, Trump appointed Veresen CEO Don Althoff as a member of his “infrastructure team” that’s developing recommendations to move major building projects more quickly through regulatory reviews.

He’s nominating three new members to the five-member FERC, including a Republican Pennsylvania public utilities commissioner who’s stated that people opposing pipeline projects are engaging in “jihad.”

For most of the past decade, landowners along the pipeline rightof-way have been the backbone of an opposition movement to it.

“This company, Veresen, has no concept of what the land means to us,” says Bill Gow, a reluctant Donald Trump supporter who owns a 2,500acre ranch in Myrtle Creek, Oregon.

“We didn’t choose to live in these places for the money, but that’s all the company cares about.”

Opponents say the project would wreak economic devastation on those along the pipeline route. Moreover,

the Jordan Cove terminal would be in a region vulnerable to tsunamis, earthquakes and wildfires. It would clear cut old-growth forests and increase greenhouse gases too, once shipping begins.

Supporters see only opportunity.

In a shocking announcement last July, the U.S. Geological Service deemed the western Colorado gas basin to have the second largest reserve of recoverable natural gas in the United States, thrilling the Columbine State’s political and business leaders.

GAS PASS If built, the project would pull 438 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year out of the ground—almost twice the amount Oregon as a whole consumed in 2015. Construction unions wield enormous power in Oregon, and they highlight that the project would bring about 150 permanent jobs to the economically stagnant Coos Bay region, plus an estimated 930 jobs during its fouryear construction phase.

“There are thousands of qualified pipefitters, electricians, laborers, sheet metal workers, ironworkers and boilermakers across Oregon that will benefit from this work, receiving good wages with benefits for three years of construction,” says John Mohlis, Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council executive secretary.

The port of Coos Bay was among the world’s largest shipping areas for lumber in the 1970s and ’80s. Jody McCaffree is a landowner outside of Coos Bay. He sees the targeting of this economically depressed area as deliberate—that the Jordan Cove consortium chose Coos Bay because residents in the pipeline route have fewer resources to oppose such a project than in places like the San Francisco Bay Area, which has larger ports, but also has big environmental groups “to fight destructive projects like this.”

Most of Oregon’s elected leaders— including most Democratic Party officials, many of whom support measures to reduce greenhouse gas pollution in other contexts—support the pipeline on economic grounds. >18

because paradox is the mystery of the operating system of the universe. And that love is so powerful that even the absence of love affects people. So the search for meaning, the nature of paradox, and the power of love are universal experiences that connect all human beings.”

The foundation of the class, Somekh says, was the interview assignment, with students mining their subject’s experiences for priceless insights.

“The DNA of the class is for a college student to find someone who is older and ask them questions about what this whole thing is about,” he explains. “When you’re in the fourth quarter, you can look back and start making sense and be at peace with things that you were never able to change— that could be a cautionary tale for somebody who is about to enter the real world.”

Back in Somekh’s student days, his own

conversations with Holmes—who died in 2002—turned into 80 hours of interviews that later served as the subject of his book, Mary Holmes: Paintings and Ideas. A few years ago, Faye Crosby, then the provost of Cowell College, saw the book and invited Somekh to start teaching a class. The first class, four years ago, only had 13 students.

The following year that doubled. This year, 130 students signed up.

“The way Mary affected me is that she was like emotional Windex. When she would talk, everything that was murky was clear. I could see better. I had better perspective,” Somekh says.

Students in his class read books like Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, and heard from perspectives from various speakers, including a man who was released from jail at age 70, eager to live the rest of his life.

For her assignment, Sullivan interviewed an intersex Vietnam veteran who she met while working at the Penny Ice Creamery’s

downtown kiosk. The two met several times afterward, with Sullivan accumulating eight hours of interviews. The interviewee told Sullivan that she liked that the 19-yearold wasn’t afraid to ask anything. “We established this really close connection because her tears were falling on my hands, and she was sharing these really intimate things,” Sullivan says.

Sullivan says the class inspired her to ask questions that she never would have asked before.

For many students, the experience has been life-changing. Somekh says one student had had a bad year and interviewed a man who had scoliosis and had been told he couldn’t heal from it. But he managed to get better by stretching with a stick. “All the shit that she was depressed about—she realized that she could take control of her destiny,” Somekh says. “She said, ‘I’m not a victim. If I see how this guy survived something that was so much worse than what I was going through, I could handle

this.’ That’s really the whole point.”

When each student finished their paper, they sent a copy to the interviewee.

The challenge is for students to break out of their comfort zones and learn in unconventional ways, says Somekh, an artist best known for his life as a balloontwister. (He will have an installation at the Museum of Art and History in August that will touch on similar themes, Somekh says, and include a giant balloon sculpture called “Elephant and Six Blind Indian Guys.”)

Next year, Somekh—who owns his own company, New Balloon Art—may take a break from the class while he focuses on his craft. Last spring, students told Somekh that, out of the three class sections, they enjoyed paradox the most.

“Paradox is the mysterious ecosystem of the universe—the yin and yang—the fact that two things can be totally opposite and both true,” Somekh says. “For instance, if you’re a surfer, you have to be submissive to the wave, but you have to be in control.”

NEWS PIPE SCHEME <14 CLIMATE DEFENDERS The West Coast has emerged as one of the world’s most significant climate-change battlegrounds. In recent years, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia have faced a spate of new fossilfuel infrastructure projects, but grassroots opposition has helped defeat most of them.

In California, few groups have defended water resources as strongly as Klamath Basin tribes— for whom the river’s storied fisheries form a basis of their survival as distinct cultures. Many have fought for years to remove four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. They have expressed their concerns about the potential for damage to the river during the pipeline construction process, as well as from potential spills.

Sammy Gensaw, a 22-year-old Yurok fisherman from Klamath Glen, California, says indigenous people have developed long-term resilience that is now lending itself to humanity’s struggle against the global climate crisis. “The first fight of my ancestors was to have blood flow through their veins and air in their lungs, because at one point, the U.S. government deemed it a crime to be native and punishment was death,” Gensaw says. “So my people know what it is to stand up for our very survival.”

Eric de Place, director of the Seattle-based Sightline Institute, a climate-change think tank, says “the Jordan Cove project is far from a slam dunk” for Veresen.

Still, the Trump administration’s loud support for the project made Veresen increasingly optimistic about the project’s chances. On Dec. 9, hours after FERC denied Veresen’s application to build the project, company lobbyist Ray Bucheger wrote a conciliatory email to three Colorado-based oil and gas industry executives with a stake in the project, which were obtained for this story through a records request.

“We are currently evaluating our options,” Bucheger stated, “but I will say that we need Mr. Trump and his team now more than ever.”

MODERN SATIRIST Nathan Hill

created a buzz last year with the release of his debut novel. PHOTO: MICHAEL LIONSTAR

After the Facts In an age of fake news and ‘alternative’ truth, novels like Nathan Hill’s ‘The Nix’ are striking a chord

BY STEVE KETTMANN

unlocks a gate through which many others can and should surge forth.

If nothing else, the giddy praise Hill has earned—“In my opinion he is the best new writer of fiction in America,” John Irving proclaimed—ought to inspire young writers to ponder his example, and it’s a good one to consider. The best part about Hill is his insistence that his dazzling literary success owes mostly to his having decided on a philosophy of essentially saying “Fuck it!” He opted out of the all-too-common syndrome of worrying too much about what anyone else thinks of your writing. Instead, he went for it and spent 10 years writing a novel mostly for himself, the way one dives into gardening.

The acclaimed novel was one of last year’s most talked-about books, with many critics noting its “Trump-like” Republican presidential candidate Governor Packer—a character Hill created years before Trump ran for office. And its splashy debut came at a time when fiction was showing signs of a new

resurgence; in its overview of 2016 book trends, the L.A. Times declared “nonfiction long form is in peril.” The sudden rise of George Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984 to bestseller lists was widely noted, but the Atlantic and the BBC looked deeper into the trend to discover that the Trump era seemed to be elevating sales of other fiction, as well.

Before that, Hill had been living in Queens, toiling away on short stories to land the usual prestige publication credits, when he decided to move to Florida and start fresh. Writers need other writers, but squeeze too many of them into your consciousness and it’s like packing an elevator with too many overdressed men who have hit the man perfume way too hard. Getting away clearly did wonders for Hill’s talent.

“The stuff I was doing in New York really wasn’t that good,” Hill said in a recent phone conversation, just after he’d returned from a trip to France to promote the roughly 719th foreign edition of his novel.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JUNE 21-27, 2017

t’s been building a while, the sense that the novel, far from being exiled indefinitely from the hurlyburly of relevance, was tacking back into the mix, recovered from the fashion consciousness of campus influence and other existential threats, ready to stand and be counted.

Now, as we peer through the lurid gloom of life in the Trump era, it’s clear that journalists and nonfiction writers, chained to the ascendancy of “facts” in an era when fewer and fewer of us really believe in them anymore, cannot compete with the power of a go-for-broke novelist with a light touch, an ear for comedy and human foible, and the sheer stamina and grit to cobble together a great yarn over years of effort.

This is the era of writers like Nathan Hill, whose hit novel The Nix skewers millennial entitlement, boomer selfimportance and everything in between, but above all retrieves the recent past and in so doing reanimates the present and the future. In other words, the book

NIX OF TIME Critics drew parallels between Hill's 'The Nix' and the political rise of Donald Trump.

<21 “I was writing for all the wrong reasons. I’d moved to New York with a bunch of people from my MFA program [at UMass Amherst].

I was very careerist, thinking about editors and Paris Review parties and who was getting published where—thinking about everything but the actual writing. I was trying to be popular in New York. I wasn’t

writing any particular truth.”

When Hill’s apartment was broken into, his computer was stolen— and along with it, years of writing vanished into thin air, gone as surely as the carbons of early short stories that Ernest Hemingway’s first wife famously lost. With Hill, as with Hemingway and most any other writer, this was surely a good thing.

“There comes a point where you have to do something that’s idiosyncratic, that’s just you. You have to tune out all those voices, no matter how well-meaning and helpful they might be.” - NATHAN HILL why, since you don’t really like each other all that much, but his life opens up to us in a way that makes it impossible not to care.

We’re particularly pulled in by his account of twins he knew in his youth: violin-playing Bethany, who will define beauty for Samuel his whole life, and her brother Bishop, pulled prematurely into adulthood in a way that touches Samuel as well. As I wrote in my review of The Nix for the San Francisco Chronicle last year: “This is a novel about an understanding taking years to unfold.”

“She’d decided that about eighty percent of what you believe about yourself when you’re 20 turns out to be wrong,” a character observes.

“The problem is you don’t know what your small true part is until much later.”

Much as Northern California writer Emma Cline used her novel The Girls to breathe new life into our understanding of one aspect of the 1960s—the charismatic allure of a Charles Manson-type figure—Hill uses this story about a son in search of a vanished mother to papiermâché together a shockingly vivid reimagining of the famous clubbing of protesters by overzealous Chicago police that will always be associated with the 1968 Democratic Convention. Hill slows down time in a way that mesmerizes. He takes a reader used to thinking about shorter attention spans and quietly changes the subject. For the right book, page count doesn’t matter, quality does.

Hill has a secret, and it’s one worth emulating. He likes his characters. He loves his characters.

They are all flawed, they all have their sorrows, but even when they’re

Not until Hill moved to Florida to be near the bassoonist who would become his wife did his work on the novel that became The Nix really open up in a new direction.

“Even more than getting all the stuff stolen, it was that early failure, kind of a global failure—going to New York City but not becoming the writer I thought I was going to become, or really finding any success at all—that led me in a different direction,” he says. “I started to write The Nix for really different reasons. When that kicked in, the writing just opened up.

“I stopped sending stuff out to agents and editors and magazines,” he says. “I stopped giving my work to writing friends who I went to school with.”

Years of feedback from writing classes and groups had been helpful, but for his writing to take off he had to hit the mute button on all that. “There comes a point where you have to do something that’s idiosyncratic, that’s just you,” he says. “You have to tune out all those voices, no matter how well-meaning and helpful they might be.”

Not everyone would feel comfortable building a 625-page novel around a main character, Samuel Andreson-Anderson, who is just sort of there. He’s no hero, no anti-hero, and the main things we know about him are that even into adulthood he lives in constant mortified terror of slipping into a crying jag, which he breaks down into categories like storms; that he teaches, but kind of hates it; and that his mother abandoned him when he was young. Oh, and he’s a writer, or sort of a writer.

Samuel feels like the buddy you have at college without ever knowing

<23 being hilariously over-the-top awful, he’s smiling to share with us their over-the-top awfulness. There are important lessons here. When one of the Trump sons, looking like a badhair outcast from a remake of the cheeseball TV show “Dynasty,” went on Fox News in early June to share the opinion that, to him, Democrats are “not even people,” the natural first reaction was to snicker at the sheltered cluelessness of this son of a son of privilege, this epic lack of understanding of anything other than his deranged father’s rants.

But actually, the quote was a rare case of a Trump speaking for many people, not just the tiny sliver of the country that supports this reckless presidency. Eric Trump’s words should make us all think. Too many people of too many viewpoints have been so riled, so addled with pent-up frustration and rage, they too have come to think of others as “not even people,” which is a trend probably as toxic to real democracy as the Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision equating political contributions to free speech.

It does no good to write off whole swaths of the country as rubes, simple and easy to sway, even if the Trump wave did pull along all sorts of people who ought to have known better. It does no good to assume we understand everything about them.

Far better to take the crisis afflicting the country and use it as a prod to try anew to understand people from all regions of the country, from all viewpoints, up to and including hate-mongers. The question is: How do we do this? We could use a Studs Terkel, interviewing everyone and panning for gold. But journalism can only make so much headway in this direction. Fiction holds far more potential.

This, I think, is the ultimate thrill of reading Nathan Hill: having the sense of getting to know people we’d thought walled off from us. His baton-swinging cop, for example, is a tour de force, human and sad, so much so that I for one almost felt like I was identifying with him even as he slammed protesters in the head with that baton—well, at

least for a moment or two. The point is simply to turn back from the glibness of hate or bias to what we are born knowing, that what unites us is stronger and vaster than that which divides us.

Reading Hill, I’m thinking that some young novelist out there with flash and nerve is going to find a way to build a fictional tunnel from the present to 1969 California, when an actor in the Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento ordered the National Guard into Berkeley to crack down on protesters who wanted to turn a scruffy little vacant lot owned by the state into a People’s Park. James Rector of San Jose, an innocent bystander, was killed in the melee, and the silent majority rallied behind Reagan and his show of force. He rode the tough-guy-on-a-horse image all the way to the White House. But like Chicago ’68, it’s all become a cartoon. Only a great novelist can really reclaim that kind of territory for us, as Hill has done in The Nix. The book was published in hardcover before last November’s election (it’s newly out in paperback), which seems oddly fitting. Post-Trump-election, like post 9/11, the fiction writer feels a tidal wave of pressure to try to do something with the flotsam and jetsam of what used to be a culture.

It’s overwhelming, which is why if you follow writers’ social media feeds you read much in November and afterward about people who couldn’t get out of bed for days or weeks on end. It was paralyzing.

Hill was in Southern California this spring to receive a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and in accepting the honor, joked that he was glad to get the award—while California “is still part of the country,” showing he was aware of the fledgling movement to get a secession measure on the California ballot.

“If that gets on the ballot, who knows what happens?” Hill told me on the phone.

The joke was also a kind of homage to fellow novelist Michelle Richmond—who will join Hill for an author talk we’re hosting at the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods

“The Trump-like character in my book, Governor Packer, was written ... a long time ago, eight years ago. I took this kind of baseline Tea Party Republican candidate who seemed to be getting popular, and pushed him to absurdity to see what happens.”- NATHAN HILL There is something transcendently important about that commitment of time and energy, that investment of caring and doing, and it’s potentially an important antidote to the pop-off-in-fourseconds-flat culture in which we find ourselves, led of course by the Popper-Off-in-Chief. More even than the beauty, power and importance of his great novel, I’d point a new reader to the following words as an introduction to Hill and what he stands for: “I really want to take the time with my own political feeling and political thinking,” he told me on the phone. “I don’t want to make snap judgements. For example, as I write my next book, it’s really tempting to try to deal with the age of Trump, but I don’t think that would make a very good book. It’s too new. I don’t have enough distance from it yet. And frankly, I’m not incredibly confident about my own opinions.

And I’m shocked at how many are extraordinarily confident in their opinions and extraordinarily sure they are right. I’d rather take my time. I don’t even take to Twitter very often, as you might have seen.

I don’t want to become a kind of opinion vending machine. I reserve the right to keep my opinions to myself and think about it for a very, very long time. I’m well aware that at any time I could be wrong.”

Nathan Hill and Michelle Richmond will discuss their work on Saturday, June 24 at 2 p.m. at Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, 858 Amigo Road in Soquel. The event is free; RSVP to info@ wellstoneredwoods.org.

this Saturday, June 24, starting at 2 p.m. Back in 2009, when Richmond was working on the project that would become the novel Golden State, she was going for outlandish but not too outlandish when she sat down to write a scene about Californians going to the polls to vote on seceding from the United States.

Talking to Hill on the phone, I read aloud from what Richmond had told me about the novel: “‘In the book it’s moved from fringe to reality because a new President wants to spend $12 billion of taxpayer money on a border wall with Mexico.’”

“My God!” Hill cut in goodnaturedly, loving it. “’He wants a war with Iran, he wants to roll back environmental protections and he’s rolling back reproductive and gay rights,’” I continued, quoting Richmond. “’When I was writing the book, I thought eventually there will be some sort of vote, but that’s far in the future.’”

“That’s amazing,” Hill said. “The Trump-like character in my book, Governor Packer, was written similarly a long time ago, eight years ago. I took this kind of baseline Tea Party Republican candidate who seemed to be getting popular, and pushed him to absurdity to see what happens.”

It takes years, generally, to create the world-within-a-world of a novel that comes alive enough for characters to talk on their own, leading the writer more than the other way around.

As Hill put it to me: “That takes a long time to get to, to feel that the character is speaking to you, not that you’re turning the wrench.”

fragile, but I think everybody’s fragile. That’s why we need each other.”

Thorn’s humility and appreciation for life has always run through his music, but it’s front and center on his most recent release, 2014’s Too Blessed to be Stressed. The album is a soul-stirring collection of songs packed with inspiring, insightful, joyful tunes that reframe life— struggles and all—as a blessing.

“My objective was to help lift people’s spirits and put into songs things I’ve learned that have helped me,” he says. “There’s a lot of negativity and unpleasant things going on. I figured there’s enough sad songs and I just wanted it to be happy.”

Too Blessed to be Stressed has gospel elements, including tales of redemption and an acknowledgement of the challenges of taking the high road. Some of the lyrics on the album are things Thorn grew up hearing, and the title was a common phrase in his hometown.

The son of a preacher, Thorn still lives in his native Tupelo, Mississippi—“the birthplace of Elvis,” he adds, without missing a beat. Listening to his dad preach had a profound influence on his music, he says, most strikingly in the way joy and grace are always nearby.

“Whatever I write, even if there’s sadness in it, I try to leave the listener a way out,” he says. “I don’t want a song to leave them wallowing in the ditch. I want to tell them something that’s going to give them a way to get out of whatever trouble they’re in.”

When Thorn was a “young and green” singer-songwriter who “didn’t know anything,” he was pleased when major record label A&M picked up Hammer & Nail. What he didn’t realize was that the company was in the process of being bought by a

larger company. His debut received “absolutely no push” from the label, and he was dropped—a fate that befalls many singer-songwriters after a major label signing.

For his next album, Thorn and his longstanding band—comprising Bill Hinds, Michael “Dr. Love” Graham, Ralph Friedrichsen and Jeffrey Perkins—decided to use their own small studio to “cut some CDs and go out there and build an audience.”

Since then, Thorn and company have self-produced and self-released all their albums. Getting dropped from A&M, it turned out, was a good thing.

“These days, record companies are kind of like dinosaurs,” Thorn says. “They’re going extinct, because music is free now—you don’t have to pay for music anymore. Luckily, we put the work in early on, and built a fanbase that we’re very proud of.

And they’re still with us.”

In early 2018, Thorn will release a bona fide gospel album he recorded with the Blind Boys of Alabama. A project that could raise Thorn’s uplift inclinations to a fever pitch, the album is also the subject of a PBS documentary to be released in conjunction with it.

In the meantime, Thorn is on the road touring around the country, including a June 23 stop at the Rio Theatre. A longtime favorite of Santa Cruz roots and Americana music fans, Thorn is excited, as usual, to come back to Santa Cruz.

“The Santa Cruz area feels like old friends,” he says. “It was the first market where I could play, and with the friend’s I’ve made on top of that, it’s just one of the highlights of when I go out and play. Usually once a year I try to come over there and see everybody.”

The Paul Thorn Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 23 at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $26. 423-8209.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND DAN TOO

Dan Too sounds like part of an incomplete sentence. Also, who is Dan One? Clearly, this name requires some context. “Dan One” is actually Dan Juan, a musical project belonging to Daniel Talamantes. He started Dan Juan about a year ago. Then last September, he started Dan Too.

RACHEL LARK

JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

In truth, though, he’s a little ambivalent about the names.

36

“I did not come up with either of those names, but they’re sticking at this point, I guess,” Talamantes says.

WEDNESDAY 6/21

The first “Dan” band, an indie rock project, features members of bluegrass ensemble Steep Ravine, who are on the road frequently.

“There’d be a month or two recess and I’d want to keep playing and writing,” says Talamantes.

BITTER DIAMONDS

The second “Dan” band he started, to fill in the gaps, ended up being more in the realm of alt-country. The other members include drummer Jon Payne, pedal steel/guitar player Ian Park, and bassist Tyler Larson.

Now that both bands are fully formed, he has the ability to take material to whichever band it fits the best. Or sometimes, whoever happens to be practicing next.

COUNTRY An outlaw country outfit from San Francisco, the Bitter Diamonds play “old school country for modern times.”

Comprising Charles Verlin on vocals and guitar, Ian Michell on bass, Jody Clarke on pedal steel, Mike Saliani on lead guitar and Mark Grupe on drums, the band got its start—as legend goes—when Verlin finished a thermos of day-old coffee in the parking lot of the Say When Casino in McDermitt, Nevada. Although it’s not clear what that has to do with the band, it’s their story and they’re sticking to it. Also on the bill: the Western Wednesday Allstar Band, featuring standouts from our local country and honky-tonk bands.

This month’s featured player is the one and only Jim Lewin. CJ

“I bring it and if it doesn’t catch with one, I’ll bring it to the other and see what happens,” Talamantes says.

ELECTRONIC

CRYSTAL METHOD Twenty years ago, ’90s electronic

duo the Crystal Method released their classic album Vegas to much acclaim and remarkable sales. It’s important to remember that during this time electronic music was primarily a niche genre. The Crystal Method was one of a handful of bands in this era (Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers) that took the sound to a mainstream alt-rock audience. Their aggressive, punkcharged dance music sound felt oh-so-cozy in the ’90s, and carries on today. AC

ist Ray Anderson, a player with a startling vivid vocabulary of bluesy smears, burry blasts and singing phrases. Following up on the double album The Long Road, one of last year’s most consistently inspired recordings, the trio hits Santa Cruz on a tour marking the band’s 40th anniversary. ANDREW GILBERT

INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25. 429-4135.

AMERICANA

JAZZ

If you think it’s strange that a band from L.A. is playing Americana, don’t worry. Walcotts, the band in question, injects a bit of theatrics into the sound, and bends the rules of the genre in unexpected ways. The ninepiece band play elements of old-timey jazz, heartland anthems and good old-fashioned American folk. It’s an authentic tribute to the roots music of this great country, but a song like “Coalinga” is something only a Californian would ever think to write. AC

BASSDRUMBONE With its unusual instrumentation, fearless approach to improvisation, and four-decade track record of extraordinary music, BassDrumBone should be a left-field jazz institution. But the collective trio is still something of an underground phenomenon, due to a long hiatus or two and a confusing discography.

What’s crystal clear is the interactive brio of bass master Mark Helias, exploratory drummer Gerry Hemingway, and muscular trombon-

MONDAY 6/26 INDIE

CAT POWER It’s been five years since the last album of original material from Cat Power aka Chan Marshall. Sun relied heavily on synths and autotune, a departure for her that left open the question of what exactly Cat Power sounds like now. But it doesn’t really matter, because Cat Power has evolved into a musical force unto herself. When she started in the ’90s, her lo-fi indie-folk sound fit within a larger context of the era’s alternative scene, but by the end of the century, her hypnotic songs had taken on a character of their own, and every expansion of her sonic palette seems natural.

Ahhh, the Band. So many hits, so many memories. “The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Weight.” The hits just keep coming. The Weight is a band of musicians who were either in the Band or “are deeply connected to [its] legacy.” Comprising Jim Weider from the Band, Brian Mitchell from the Levon Helm Band, Marty Grebb, who wrote for the Band, and more, the Weight pays loving tribute to the pioneering country-rock act whose legacy and influence is alive and well. CJ

masterfully blends these two cultures in her music, which spans folk, blues, rock, soul and R&B. From her 2006 debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers & Me, which showcases Smith’s easy handle on country, classic funk and everything in-between, to her 2015 cover of Nina Simone’s song, “I Put a Spell on You” on Nina Revisited, Smith has carved a unique space for herself on the contemporary vocals landscape.

EXAMINATION TABLE Salma Hayek plays Beatriz, a Mexican immigrant and massage therapist whose unexpected

invitation to dinner serves as a platform for social commentary.

Discomfort Zone JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Culture clash misses the mark in ‘Beatriz at Dinner’ BY LISA JENSEN

42

S

he’s a selfless woman of color, a massage therapist and healer who works with cancer patients—so attuned to nature, she keeps a rescue goat in her apartment. He’s a toxic, filthy rich, white, male real estate developer with the morals of a jackal, who thinks nothing of displacing entire communities and ecosystems with his gigantic global building projects. What happens when their worlds collide at a dinner party?

That’s the setup for Beatriz at Dinner. But while it talks a good game in the preview trailer, it can’t quite rise to the challenge of its premise. This third collaboration

between screenwriter Mike White and director Miguel Arteta (after Chuck and Buck, and The Good Girl) is all about the meticulous construction of these two opposite worlds, and setting them on the road to confrontation. But all the filmmakers’ credibility is used up establishing this premise. Once that’s done, the movie loses steam, and starts flailing around in search of a conclusion.

A profoundly de-glamorized Salma Hayek stars as Beatriz, a Mexican native from a tiny village who immigrated to California as a child, to be raised by her grandmother. A practitioner of reiki, tai-chi, massage,

and other healing arts, she works with patients at a Los Angeles cancer center, and also chugs around in her dilapidated old car to private clients.

Beatriz believes that people with “unfinished business” in one life come back in another form to make amends.

A vegetarian, she’s so empathetic with the natural world that she says she can “feel the pain” of dead animals.

One of her clients, Cathy (Connie Britton), is a society wife in a ritzy gated community in Newport Beach.

Cathy’s teenage daughter was a cancer patient for a while, where she and her mother both bonded with Beatriz; Cathy credits Beatriz with saving her daughter’s life. So

when Beatriz’ car conks out in her driveway, Cathy is happy to invite Beatriz to stay for dinner while waiting for her mechanic to arrive.

But it’s not just any dinner.

Cathy’s husband is a contractor whose biggest client, real estate mogul Doug Strutt (John Lithgow), is the guest of honor. Arriving with his third wife in a chauffeurdriven Lincoln SUV, Strutt (as you can tell from his name) is a smug peacock, proud of his shady business practices—like defoliating “protected” lands before he gets permits to develop, so there’s nothing left to protect. His philosophy is “the world is dying . . . so you might as well enjoy yourself.”

The gulf between these two worlds is underscored when Cathy’s tale of her daughter’s cancer scare makes the other women so uncomfortable, they quickly switch the conversation to a “reality” TV star, whose travails are much more real to them.

Screenwriter White is accomplished in the cinema of discomfort, and there are times you can’t bear to look at the screen as the characters attempt to cope—or not—with an increasingly embarrassing situation. But the expected clash-of-the-titans between saintly Beatriz and deplorable Strutt never quite materializes. For one thing, they’re written as such extreme polar opposites, we know they are never going to have a dialogue. And as soon as the filmmakers figure this out, there’s a great deal of floundering around in search of an exit strategy.

Unfortunately, the one they finally come up with makes no sense in terms of everything we’ve been told about the character, or even the simple mechanics of how things work in daily life. We’re left to view the story as metaphor, but since any similarity between the odious Strutt and the current blowhard-in-chief is entirely intentional, the movie doesn’t even satisfy on that level. It seems to address the chasm between the top 2 percent and the rest of us without offering either solutions or catharsis.

BEATRIZ AT DINNER **1/2 (out of four) With Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, and Connie Britton. Written by Mike White. Directed

by Miguel Arteta. A Roadside Attractions release. Rated R. 83 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BAND AID Anna and Ben’s marriage might be broken. So, they decide to turn all of their fights into songs and start a band.

With the perfect amalgamation of beautiful and hilarious people (including Hannah Simone from New Girl and Jesse Williams from Grey’s Anatomy), their marriage metaphor covers its ups and deep downs, why sometimes pizza is just as good as sex, and rage-filled lyrics like “Is this what it means to be a dude?” and “You get so hangry and so rude.” Zoe Lister-Jones directs. Lister-Jones, Adam Pally, Fred Armisen co-star. 91 minutes.

OBIT There aren’t too many of them doing it any more, but obituary writers have to have a certain brand of humor because, ultimately, what they write has less to do with death and everything to do with life. A documentary about the most interesting people in the newsroom. Vanessa Gould directs.

Bruce Weber, William McDonald, Margalit Fox co-star. 93 minutes.

JUNE 21-27, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

NOW PLAYING 47 METERS DOWN It’s totally

safe, they said. Once you’re down there you won’t want to come back up, they said. Now they’re at the bottom of the ocean, stuck in a cage, and fending off all of the big bad sharks—like, all of them.

Bring on beach season! Johannes Roberts directs. Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, Matthew Modine costar. (PG-13) 89 minutes.

ALL EYEZ ON ME Tupac was a poet, a visionary and an activist.

This is the man behind the music.

Benny Boom directs. Demetrius Shipp Jr., Danai Gurira, Kat Graham co-star. (R) 140 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.

BEATRIZ AT DINNER Reviewed this issue. Miguel Arteta directs.

Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Connie Britton co-star. (R) 83 minutes.

THE BOOK OF HENRY Henry’s only 11, but he’s smart—real smart. So when he says his friend Christina is in trouble and her stepdad is the culprit, his mother listens. Now momma and her two kid sons are up against the town’s police commissioner and his friends, and pursuing a totally badass angels-of-vengeance plan.

Those woke-ass sixth graders, though. Colin Trevorrow directs.

Naomi Watts, Jaeden Lieberher, Jacob Tremblay co-star. (PG-13) 105 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.

CARS 3 He’s at the top of his game, but every time Lightning McQueen loses a race he damages himself. Now it’s his last chance to race on his terms and prove to the upstart cars that he’s still number one. Brian Fee directs.

Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Chris Cooper co-star. (G) 109 minutes.

DEAN From the crevices of Demetri Martin’s comedic genius, Dean is a story about losing a loved one, facing life, and trying to remember not to forget yourself. Martin directs.

Martin, Kevin Kline, Gillian Jacobs costar. (PG-13) 87 minutes.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL This is what happens when the kids take over. Parents, beware. David Bowers directs. Alicia Silverstone, Tom Everett Scott, Charlie Wright co-star. (PG) 90 minutes.

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.

IT COMES AT NIGHT When the entire globe has already been terrorized by an unnatural threat and a desperate family arrives at your door, who can you trust?

Trey Edward Shults directs. Joel Edgerton, Christopher Abbott, Carmen Ejogo co-star. (R) 97 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.

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 all the way to Congress.

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?

FOOD & DRINK Wash berries right before you eat them.

Living in the same county as the Strawberry Capital of the World means we can enjoy luscious red berries almost all year, but there’s no comparison to the bursting flavor of a ripe strawberry in the height of summer. Heather Griffith of Live Earth Farm recommends that you don’t wash strawberries—or any berry—until right before you eat it. Any water left on their delicate skin will make them go bad faster.

And another thing—you know how summer berries have that warm, soft texture? Berries kept in the fridge will firm up, so Griffith recommends keeping them on the counter if you can eat them within a day or two, and only chilling them if you need to preserve them for longer. If you still can’t make it through the flat of fruit you bought the week before, freeze them on a cookie sheet in a single layer before bagging them. This will prevent them from becoming a huge frozen blob.

Five farmers market hacks for getting the most out of summer produce BY LILY STOICHEFF

46

L

ast week at the downtown farmers market, I looked around and realized it’s finally, actually, really summer. The evidence was everywhere, overflowing off of table cloths and baskets in a rainbow smorgasbord of nature’s bounty. It’s all so beautiful and at the peak of deliciousness that during this time of year I’ll often come home laden with goodies too tempting to resist, only to discover that my eyes were bigger than my stomach (who knew that was possible?). If this is you, too, here are a few tricks for keeping delicate seasonal produce fresh and preserving it to enjoy long after the summer days have passed.

Treat basil like cut flowers. “You

should never put basil in the fridge,” says Happy Boy Farms co-market manager Donka Hardy. “It’s too cold, and it will cause the leaves to blacken.” Instead, Hardy says to keep them in a vase or glass of water on your counter and out of direct sunlight. Cut the ends off every day or so to keep them fresh even longer.

“I’ve kept basil like this fresh for so long, it actually sprouts roots,” says Hardy. Plus, the herbal bouquet will freshen the air in your kitchen.

Peel tomatoes and stone fruit in boiling water. Tomato skins and peach fuzz get in the way of epic summer soups, pasta sauce and desserts, so quickly peel them first. Cut a small “X” in the butt of the fruit, opposite the stem end,

and drop them into a pot of boiling water. Within a few seconds, you should see the skin along the “x” start to peel away from the flesh.

Pull it out with tongs. When it’s cool enough to handle, you can easily slough the skin off with your hands.

If you can’t eat it, freeze it. If canning seems too complicated, freezing tomatoes works just as well. Once tomatoes are peeled, you can freeze them in freezer bags for up to a year for fresh, vibrant soups and sauces throughout the winter. “Freezing is way easier than canning, if you have the space,” says Hardy. However, “Unlike canning, frozen vegetables don’t last indefinitely, so you should use them within a year.”

Be nice to your figs. The buxom bodies of perfectly ripe figs can easily bruise if left in those green plastic baskets.

Last summer, I learned the trick to preventing this—store them in a cardboard egg carton. As a bonus, you’ll freak out your roommates when they go to make breakfast.

HAVE A BEER, HONEY

New Bohemia Brewing Co., known to locals as NuBo, is releasing a new line of beers made with local honey called the Bee Project. A quest to reduce the brewery’s carbon footprint led owner Dan Satterthwaite and his brewing team in search of high-quality local fermentable sugars. Natural honey, full of flavor and aroma, was the answer.

Their first release, the Cherry Bomb Imperial Honey Stout, was brewed with sun-ripened Brooks, Coral and Chelan cherries hand-picked in Brentwood, California, and local unfiltered honey from Jeff Wall’s Family Farm. The result is a “devastatingly complex stout,” with “strong, earthy flavors of malt and cherries covered in bittersweet chocolate,” according to Satterthwaite. NuBo will celebrate this special release on Thursday, June 22 at their Pleasure Point brewery.

Cork and Fork Cathy Bentley’s expertise flows at new Capitola wine and food bar BY AARON CARNES

S

Tell me a little about how you choose wines.

I’ve been in Santa Cruz maybe 25-30 years. I’ve worked at several of the wineries out here. There are certain wineries I really like and admire.

I initially went to five different wineries and told them what I was doing and what my goal was. I kept it local, and with the people I know well. I wanted an up-to-date wine list that could be easily managed.

I’m going to be doing research and carrying wine from the Paso region, and also the Murphy’s area and El Dorado Hills, and Anderson Valley. This is very personal for me, so I want to buy directly from the wineries. I want to know everything I can possibly know about that winery, so that when I bring it back, I can talk about it. I want to take pictures. I want to have wine club trips. I want to bring people into the wine side of it.

Does the name mean that you place equal importance on food and wine?

CATHY BENTLEY: We’re getting there.

I am a wine person. I’ve been in the wine industry for about 10 years. I also wanted to add food. There are nine items on our small plate dishes.

And we’re going to be adding freshmade pizzas to order. Last week we did mozzarella-stuffed turkey meatballs, which were a huge hit.

Yesterday I did a big batch of pulled pork sliders. Just trying different things each week. I don’t want to be a full restaurant, but I want to have

substantial food that goes well with the wine.

o, you love wine. Where do you go to be surrounded by other people who love wine as much as you—maybe more? Cathy Bentley’s new wine and food bar Cork and Fork is just the place. Bentley knows pretty much everything about wine, but the good news is that you don’t have to know as much as her to fit in. She loves educating wine newbies just as much as she loves getting into the nitty gritty details with fellow wine obsessives. I spoke to Bentley about her new establishment, which opened in the spring.

Testarossa A Chardonnay 2014 with a soulful and engaging finish BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

he Italian word for “redhead” is testarossa. Years ago, when Rob Jensen was a university student in Italy, he had very red hair and was given the nickname “testarossa.” When he co-founded a winery with his wife Diana Jensen, the name was an obvious choice.

Although Jensen’s degree is in electrical engineering, a minor in the Italian language and culture led him to Assisi, a hill town perched on Mount Subasio in central Italy.

An interest in winemaking was even more heightened by experiencing the wonderful wines of Italy.

It’s hard to fault wines made by Testarossa’s longtime winemaker Bill Brosseau—and on a recent trip to their tasting room I was particularly impressed with the 2014 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay ($38), with its lovely scents of fig, apricot, and lemon, and flavors of apricot and honey. “There is a soulful and engaging element to the finish of the wine,” says Brosseau, “which keeps the taster coming back for more.” Testarossa

SKOV’S REOPENING Remember the lovely boutique Skov Winery in Scotts Valley? After a break of a few years to concentrate on raising teenage daughters and having a house built on their property, owners David and Annette Hunt will have a grand re-opening. I was glad for the opportunity to visit their new tasting room recently, which has been impressively remodeled—including a brand new deck—and is now spacious, bright and airy. Skov, which is Danish for “forest,” is an appropriate name, as the bucolic property is down a tree-lined road and surrounded by redwoods. Skov will be open every Saturday following the re-opening, which is noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 24. Tickets are $10, which includes a wine tasting and some small bites, and music by the Aquacats. 2364 Bean Creek Road, Scotts Valley. Visit skovwinery.com or call 854-7384.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SUMMER SOLSTICE: MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMING Tuesday night (West Coast) and Wednesday morning, just after midnight (East Coast), summer 2017 began. When the Sun enters the sign of Cancer and settles for three days in its northern-most position—the Tropic of Cancer— it’s summer solstice. Solstice is derived from the Latin word sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still (“sun-standing”), before reversing direction.

Summer Solstice is the longest day of light for the year. From winter solstice to summer solstice, we are in the “light half of the year.”

When the Sun begins to journey southward, we enter the “dark half of the year.”

Summer solstice, also called Midsummer, lasts five days with celebration from solstice bonfires (to drive away demons and dragons) to St. John the Baptist Nativity Day (Friday, June 24), a Christian and

Masonic festival. St. John was a forerunner to Jesus the Christ. He is like the New Group of World Servers, forerunners to the reappearance of the Aquarian Christ, the Coming One. We are in the “Time of the forerunner,” now.

At summer solstice, or Midsummer, the fairy or Devic (angelic) kingdom (green and violet-colored builders of the plant kingdom), having completed their work for the year, now prepare for a golden wedding celebration.

Shakespeare had the Devic kingdom in mind when he wrote A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This celebration (wedding) takes place within humanity’s bodies, hearts and minds, too.

As summer unfolds, the great Archangel Uriel assumes protection of the Earth and gathers his students in pastures, fields and meadows for summer mystery teachings.

Perhaps we will meet each other there.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Opportunities are presented along with challenges.

You find the courage to meet each one because of your nature—fiery, willing, enthusiastic. This year and for six more, you will experience vast changes, radical shifts, a state of impermanence that, in the end, will constitute unusual creative endeavors and ways of living based on new archetypes. Keep moving, pausing for rest here and there.

You like to run away to faraway places. You like to travel, have adventures, discover new people to communicate with. You need things harmonious, beautiful and more than good. You sometimes think of the impossible.

Your ideas become ideals and then they become real in form and matter. You often need change, a feeling of being submerged in a completely new reality. Take the time to look around a bit at work, at home and in your relationships. Tend to all of them very carefully.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 21, 2017

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You were or will be told in a dream that all you have wished for will come to be. An angelic presence will inform you.

Know, however, that what you wish for includes lots of work, much thinking and studying, detailed planning, and waiting for right timing (astrological). Your research and good judgment have others seeking your advice. At some time you will travel for information gathering, comfort and the search for beauty.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Notice if (and when) much of the past, including people and events, slip away. This is neither good, bad or something to be frightened about. It means you’re traveling upward and onward. A clearing away of obstacles hindering you from your future path. Healing occurs, loosening ancient patterns of thought no longer useful. “Healing,” the Tibetan writes, “allows for the Soul to be free.” You need to be free.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 As work comes with more responsibilities, you notice how strong and courageous you are, able to assume multiple tasks with skill and agility. Many people seek your help, trusting your constancy, sense of patience.

Simultaneously, you’re harboring secret thoughts, hopes, wishes and dreams. It’s important to take time away from the world. Step into the shadows. What do you see? Who do you love?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Take time to consider what you would like in the future.

Create a picture/photo journal depicting how you want your life to be. Begin a month before your birthday so that when it arrives you have a clear idea of what to communicate to your angels. Don’t be predictable. Be groundbreaking, inventive and original. Use nothing from the past—no beliefs or plans—to create your possible future. The past needs to be transcended completely.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 As daily life changes, and continues to, relationships take on new meaning. You seek a deeper level of harmony in the way you think and act in relationships, including everyday interactions. Daily life is bright with the light of spiritual understanding. Over time, the unusual becomes the usual.

The past, showing up in dreams and at times on your doorstep, arrives in order to disappear again. Reminders to extract what’s good and bring it all into the future.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You need the same things Libra needs, but more so.

Something of fantasy may always be on your mind. It will have two faces. Don’t be confused. Be spontaneous, curious, cautious and say yes more. Careful with money. The usual warning, but more so now. Home feels like it’s transforming every moment; your creative expression assumes Aquarian tones; work expands. You accomplish all of this with poise, equanimity and joy. Identify it. A group calls.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Here are the energies for Caps as they enter the summer months: A new, expanded self-identity, something precious (about the self) being found, tasks and communication refined, making sense of the Art of Living, work in the world becoming a reality, nurturing intimate relationships, understanding the wound, making a Vesta box, bringing forth balance through Right Relations in the world. And … having an interlude of rest in between.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You work and make contact with many different groups of people.

This is your spiritual task. To be an acquaintance to everyone, gathering and dispersing information about the present and future endeavors of humanity. The Hierarchy looks down on Earth seeking to find who carries an inner “light.” You carry that light. Therefore, here and there, you are to disperse that light.

Rest a while sometimes. Play more. Share. Do laughter yoga.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 New, different events and experiences are occurring. An unexpected opportunity is being introduced. Follow this path and simply do the work needed each day. Work, rhythmic and every day, heals all hurts and separations. Listen deeply and make contact with all people, kingdoms and events. Place them in your heart. Visualize all separations harmonizing.

Love then happens. Know that you live in a monastery.

Summer belongs to you. Communicate more with friends and neighbors. It’s good to have a balance of both seclusion and social engagement. Be aware of power struggles with others. Don’t create any. Know you can be in charge and still listen deeply to others.

Harmony is created when we listen with compassion, give praise and are curious. You learn what’s most important in relating to others.

WINE PAIRING

The palate opens up more quickly, showing elderberries and elderflowers, plus rose hips and a touch of fennel.

BRANDON PADILLA, 9-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Hobbies: Cooking, biking, music, camping Astrological Sign: Cancer

Who or what got you shopping here? BRITTANY: “As a student it seemed everyone shopped Westside markets. I didn’t care for them. I was always curious about Shopper’s when driving by. The retro signage always intrigued me. I finally stopped in. This place is awesome!

I was amazed by the variety and local products.”

BRANDON: “My housemates in college piqued my interest. There’s some competition in Santa Cruz for the best grocery store — more than any other town I’ve lived in. Everyone’s always asking, ‘Where do you shop?’ I felt I had to go to every spot. I liked Shopper’s best. It’s fast — no waiting in long checkout lines. I like the products and appreciate the store size.”

Occupation: Owner/brewer, Shanty Shanti Shack Brewing

What are some factors that draw you here? BRITTANY: “Fresh produce with good pricing.” BRANDON: “Everyone is so friendly all the time. We know the butchers, and you feel comfortable asking cooking tips.” BRITTANY: “Some of the checkers come into the brewery, too! It’s community, ya know? BRANDON: “It seems like there’s a bond between the employees, as they feel comfortable at work. The “community” thing goes a long way in making customers feel happy.”

BRITTANY: “We’re drawn to the many unique products, like the mustards and specialty products you cannot get elsewhere. We serve some of them with our cheese and meats at Shanty Shanti Shack.”

What’s usually on your shopping list? BRANDON: “I like all of Shopper’s different sausages, especially the breakfast sausages. The fish is always fresh. We bought salmon last week and it was excellent! Oh, and of course, their chocolate candies!” BRITTANY: “We’re fans of both the organic and conventional produce — we switch off. The dill’s the best.” BRANDON: “I like to make bolognese sauce. The canned Italian tomatoes I use I can only find at Shopper’s, and they they have a great pasta selection.” BRITTANY: “We buy a lot of the marinated meats — so easy and ready to go. Oh, and their wines.” BRANDON: “After drinking beer all day, sometimes we prefer to have a good wine.”

“Shopper’s retro signage always intrigued me. I finally stopped in. This place is awesome! I was amazed by the variety and local products.”
