OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I have to imagine that nothing puts the pressure on a hiring committee like knowing their candidates could be in the job for the next 25 years. That’s how long Marin Alsop led the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, and in that time she put it on the map as one of the country’s top destinations for new music. Soooooo … kinda big shoes to fill. But reading Christina Waters’ interview with Alsop’s replacement, Cristian Macelaru, I think the nervesă of everyone involved should be soothed. Not only does he clearly have the same love of music and ambitious goals as Alsop, I sense a similar sense of playfulness, which was always my favorite thing about Marin. I mean, this guy’s funny!

BORDER TROUBLES

4

Lisa Jensen is one of the most intelligent film reviewers in Northern California. Her work is consistently well researched and articulate. However, her review of Letters From Baghdad (GT, 7/12) is misleading in certain respects. Jensen notes that Gertrude Bell was often engaged as a mapmaker and that she had “extreme knowledge of inter-tribal relationships” in the part of the Middle East that, prior to World War I, had been controlled by the Ottoman Empire. Also that she was “enlisted to help divide postwar ‘Arabia.’”

She fails to mention, on the other hand, that this region was populated by both Shiites and Sunnis, and that the segment inhabited by Kurds was a potential part of a future Kurdistan. The land of the Kurds has been and is currently divided between Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria—much to the discomfort of ethnic Kurds.

How is it that Gertrude Bell thought that these three competing cultures could be successfully yoked together into a new country, Iraq? It is no wonder that she was disillusioned. Jensen refers to the “thorny issue of how to govern Iraq” and notes that these issues continue “to play out on the

It’s a great interview. She also sat down with composer Karim Al-Zand, whose new work The Prisoner— inspired by letters from a prisoner at Guantanemo Bay—gets its world premiere at this year’s festival, and with virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, who will perform Ad Infinitum, a new piece written for her by festival composer-in-residence Clarice Assad. It all comes together to provide a great deal of insight into this year’s program, and the future of the Cabrillo Festival.

I also hope you’ll check out Jacob Pierce’s moving story about a new exhibit at MAH that shines a light on the issues faced by kids in the foster care system. And lastly, a little extra plug for Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s production of Measure for Measure, which I review in this issue: it shouldn’t be missed.

world stage.” What an understatement! The current wars in Iraq and Syria, which began with the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, have destroyed much of the cities and displaced a large proportion of the population. Isn’t it obvious by now that the borders of Iraq are an untenable construction, that Kurdistan should be a recognized nation, and that the notion of jamming all these different cultures into to one hastily drawn border was a brutal mistake?

Gertrude Bell was an amazing historian and world traveler and, as Jensen notes, a role model for women everywhere— absolutely. But she made a big mistake when she allegedly drew the borders of modern Iraq.

The field is home to the Aztecas Youth Soccer Academy, a program designed to help at-risk youth learn life skills. New equipment includes new bleachers, goals, covered benches, flags and nets.

The Santa Cruz Arts Commission, working with the city of Santa Cruz, will unveil a draft concept for a new mural at Scope Park, next to the clock tower on the corner of Pacific Avenue and Mission Street, on Wednesday, Aug. 2 from 5 to 6 p.m. Artist Sarah Bianco will be taking comments. The commission will vote on it on the following Wednesday.

A new dining patio in the Seabright air, plus the first dry-hopped nonalcoholic beer BY CHRISTINA WATERS

B

urrata with basil?

Meatballs and polenta?

Or perhaps one of those lavishly-proportioned Santa Croce salads loaded with various greens, fennel, feta, hazelnuts and shaved Parmigiano? These are items that continue to tempt me, thanks to the savvy cooks at Tramonti on Seabright. Now I can succumb to that temptation in the open air, thanks to the charming outdoor deck that has recently been created next to the front entrance.

New outdoor seating at the authentic trattoria looks like just the place to spend some summer afternoons (and evenings) over pizza,

pasta, and a glass of Chianti.

Sleek metal chairs and tables perch under colorful red canvas umbrellas, while a long wooden communal table is equipped with its own outdoor heaters. Fog is no game changer at this new al fresco dining scene. There are even plexiglass side enclosures to protect diners from any unwanted breezes. Tramonti folks call this new feature “a little Italian garden,” with 24 seats and a central table for private parties.

I’m told that in September Tramonti will be adding a wine and beer bar inside, as well as expanded pizza bar seating.

Tramonti and its new dining

patio—located at 526 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz—is open everyday from 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. (10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday). Tuesday night’s neighborhood night special features an appetizer, entree and glass of house wine for $17. Dog friendly. Stop by and just say “Ciao!”

SOME LIKE IT NOT Clausthaler has come up with something that is very convincing in the way of a nonalcoholic beer (OK, 0.50 percent.) It’s called “Dry Hopped Ale” (hops are added after the fermentation process, for you beer geeks) and the result is delicious (at least in the world of

OK, in the expanding division of summer whites, we found a new favorite Vinho Verde from Muralhas ($18/Soif) loaded with tones of apricot, nuts and citrus. I love these light, salty, very low alcohol wines— 12 percent!), and this one comes in a beautiful tall amber glass bottle. Go root around the well-proportioned shelves of Soif retail—the blush Txakolina from the Basque house of Ameztoi is also dreamy. A serious picnic wine for around $25. ... And in the key of Rioja, we are mad for the Burgo Viejo ($13.99/Shopper’s) that has become our new house vin ordinaire. Weighing in at a refreshing 13.5-percent alcohol, this creation of 95 percent Tempranillo and 5 percent Graciano grapes is incredibly versatile. We find some complexity including tones of red licorice, cola, mint, and dark berries, all strung along a necklace of firm tannins. I better go out and grab a case of this lovely wine before it’s gone!

MOUNTAIN CHANGES

Don Quixote’s becomes Flynn’s Cabaret and Steakhouse next week, to be owned and operated by SLV resident Bradd Barkan. No more Mexican food, but there will be plenty of live music. Plans also include a menu of fresh seafoods, grass-fed meats, plus organic and gluten-free dishes. When I was a little girl, and the Felton landmark was Costello’s Chalet, I remember my grandparents dancing to live music at this durable watering hole wrapped around a restaurant. Hope it works out well!

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 26 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it. Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful shticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 You still have a wound that never formed a proper scar.

(We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention. Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction? The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve.

GEMINI May21–June20 In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen.” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini. If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs.

With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction.

Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory? Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time, and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath. The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Dear Hard Worker: Our records indicate that you have been neglecting to allot yourself sufficient time to rest and recharge. In case you had forgotten, you are expected to take regular extended breaks, during which time it is mandatory to treat yourself with meticulous care and extreme tenderness. Please grant yourself an immediate dispensation. Expose yourself to intensely relaxing encounters with play, fun, and pleasure—or else!

No excuses will be accepted.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 If extraterrestrial beings land their spaceship on my street and say they want to meet the creatures who best

represent our planet, I will volunteer you Libras. Right now, at least, you’re nobler than the rest of us, and more sparkly, too. You’re dealing smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. if you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath. Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarf-maker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie Avatar. In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion—as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless.

Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You’re in a phase of your cycle when the most useful prophecies are more lyrical than logical. So here you go: three enigmatic predictions to help stir up the creative ingenuity you’ll need to excel on your upcoming tests.

1. A darling but stale old hope must shrivel and wane so that a spiky, electric new hope can be born. 2. An openness to the potential value of a metaphorical death will be one of your sweetest assets. 3. The best way to cross a border is not to sneak across bearing secrets but to stride across in full glory with nothing to hide.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Aquarian novelist James Joyce had a pessimistic view about intimate connection. Here’s what he said: “Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.” My challenge to you, Aquarius—in accordance with the astrological omens—is to prove Joyce wrong. Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Years after he had begun his work as a poet, Rainer Maria Rilke confessed that he was still finding out what it took to do his job. “I am learning to see,” he wrote.

“I don’t know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.” Given the current astrological omens, you have a similar opportunity, Pisces: to learn more about how to see. It won’t happen like magic. You can’t just sit back passively and wait for the universe to accomplish it for you. But if you decide you really would like to be more perceptive—if you resolve to receive and register more of the raw life data that’s flowing towards you—you will expand and deepen your ability to see.

Homework: Make a prediction about where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing on January 1, 2020. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

to costly, and well beyond the present capability of funds voted by Measure D. The not-so-misnamed Greenway website points out that the substantial merits of a trail-only proposition was never previously considered, nor offered to the voters. Take a look at sccgreenway.org, and review the report by Nelson/Nygaard & Associates examining prospective enhanced access and usage by bicyclists and walkers.

Thinking about the kind of community we want to be in the future, remember that a trail-only option supports Santa Cruz County’s initiative to provide infrastructure to support 20 percent bicycle use by 2035,

and we can complete a trail alone in the existing corridor within a few years.

There’s a lot more to learn here. The bottom line is a train will never pencil out.

Projected ridership is low. We have no money to build or operate a train. Pulling the tracks is self-funding, since the steel rails can be recycled for the cost of pulling them. The Nelson/Nygaard study shows the potential for a scalable, healthy, safe, and cost effective beautiful Greenway that will move way more people than a train.

Burden of Youth

A new Museum of Art and History exhibit exposes the issues faced by foster youth BY JACOB PIERCE

W

hen Patrick McGrath was 13 years old and living in a group home for foster youth, another kid charged at one of his friends, swinging a skateboard overhead.

McGrath, who was larger than others his age, tried to shield his friend, he says, and ended up taking serious blows to the head, neck, and shoulder, before managing to calm the angry boy and restrain him.

“If I ignored him, he was going to attack my friend using a skateboard like it was a baseball bat, and probably was going to kill him,” he says.

Seven years later, McGrath is an intern for the Museum of Art and History, helping to assemble Lost Childhoods, an exhibit on life inside the California foster care system.

The ramifications of that skateboard attack and the group home’s handling of it impacted McGrath greatly, he says, and he worries the conditions that stem from it will leave him with an uncertain future when he graduates from the system at age 21, in a couple of months.

That feeling of being left in the lurch is common among current and former foster youth. Estimates vary, but some studies show that more than a quarter of foster youth

experience homelessness within the first few years of leaving the system.

According to the recently released Santa Cruz County 2017 Homeless Census and Survey, 27 percent of the homeless population had been through the foster care system at some point. Some try to get out before they are pushed out.

“It’s not uncommon for children to run away from the foster care system, and it isn’t hard to understand why,” says recent UCSC grad Jess Prudent at the MAH exhibit, beside a black-andwhite photograph of a foster youth sleeping in a sleeping bag on a park bench. Though she never >12

As she leads me around her two downtown stores, Suna Lock giggles with joy at some of her more unusual acquisitions, many of which she picked up from surprising places—including even the city dump— before putting them out for sale at her Walnut Avenue shops. A few doors apart from one another, many people know Stripe and Stripe Men for their brand of eclecticism, which is eight years strong, thanks to Lock and her partner Dana Rader.

At Stripe, the practical-minded can peruse jewelry, clothing, mugs, and perfume. At Stripe Men, those seeking strangeness will find a collection of aspen sticks, a fine assortment of desiccated animal jaws and vintage glass insulators with original dirt inside. Two huge model planes hang from the ceiling, which Lock and Rader found at an estate sale.

Yet Lock’s bigger impact locally may be in Stripe Design Services, the design company she founded, and through which she’s leaving her fingerprints all over Santa Cruz, from midtown to the Westside. She’s created interior spaces for businesses like Venus Spirits, Lifeaid, Santa Cruz Bicycles, and the Pacific Collegiate School.

More recently, she handled aesthetics for Mexican restaurant Jaguar and Humble Sea Brewing—a hub of tastefully managed nautical motifs—both of which opened this year. She has also worked on Birichino, a wine bar whose owners hope to open soon on Church Street.

Originally from London, Lock developed an affinity for Santa Cruz while interning at UCSC in 1988 and ’90. “I said, if I ever came to the States, it would be Santa Cruz,” says Lock, who’s 43 and has two children, 11 and 13. She married for the second time this summer.

Lock started Stripe Design in Santa Cruz in 2003, a few years before becoming president of the Santa Cruz Downtown Association in 2009, where she was part of a major rebranding and the sidewalk kiosk initiative. When her term with the DTA ended this year, she joined the Santa Cruz Arts Commission.

went through the system, she identifies with some of the exhibit’s troubling themes because she remembers growing up in an abusive home herself.

Cynthia Druley, executive director of the local chapter of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), says that she often knows the foster youth who come through the nonprofit “on a high level”— sometimes in a court docket or piles of paperwork. But the MAH’s exhibit, which will be on display through the end of the year, immerses people in the world of foster care more deeply.

“There was this level of detail and personal information that was

so moving for me,” Druley says. “I had two people with me that didn’t know much about children in foster care. We were all in tears. To know what it’s like to not have security.

With seven day’s notice, they can tell you they don’t want you in their home, and then you move onto a different home.”

She says foster youth often struggle because they lack the connections that many young people have, which can plague them even after they graduate from the system.

“If the rent goes up,” she says, “they can’t call mom or dad as my son did, and say, ‘Can I come back home?’ Those people become homeless.”

As McGrath nears his 21st

birthday, the search for work grows more daunting, as he feels he doesn’t have those networks many people his age do.

He had plans to be a mechanic, and he graduated from Santa Cruz High School with a certification through the Regional Occupation Program to become a general service and Valvoline lube technician, after moving in with his grandma at age 16. He moved away to Sacramento, enrolling at Universal Technical Institute, where he excelled. But once the curriculum got into transmission work, he had to leave because he could not lift the equipment due to issues stemming from his injuries as a teenager at the group home.

NEWS BRIEFS NEXT PHASE NextSpace, founded in 2008 by Jeremy Neuner, Ryan Coonerty and Caleb Baskin—was put up for sale.

And, for the past few weeks, it’s been under the watch of Pacific Workplaces, which has 18 locations that span from Carlsbad, California to Reno, Nevada. And now, Santa Cruz.

It’s a big shake-up for the local tech scene.

“Hindsight’s 20/20,” says Kurt Grutzmacher, who served as NextSpace’s third, and ultimately final, CEO. “We have a lot of things we’re pretty proud of. Maybe we tried to grow too fast. But again, that’s hindsight. There are probably a number of reasons why we could have been incredibly successful or not. I don’t think you can point to any one thing.

It’s been a nine-year run.”

At a NextSpace happy hour on Friday, July 21, managers of Pacific Workplaces told members they would no longer be able to freely visit the San Jose and Berkeley NextSpace locations, at least in the short term. But the new parent

company is exploring ways to make its 17 other locations available to NextSpace members, possibly for a fee.

The management also promises technological upgrades soon, allowing people to more easily teleconference via the systems set up by Pacific Workplaces, which now owns those San Jose and Berkeley NextSpace locations as well.

The six other NextSpace locations—Venice Beach, Culver City, Chicago, an additional San Jose location and two in San Francisco—all closed in the past year or changed hands, most of them in the weeks before the sale.

Many members are interested to see what new ownership brings, and Coonerty, who served on NextSpace’s board, says he looks forward to remaining a member.

NextSpace launched during the early days of coworking, an idea that has evolved from a buzzword into a way of life, with Santa Cruz sometimes on the cutting edge.

Laurent Dhollande, CEO of Pacific Workspaces, calls

NextSpace “legendary” and says his company learned from NextSpace’s approach.

“NextSpace was an incredible success for the community.

It was less of a commercial success,” he says.

With the help of Santa Cruz Sentinel columnist Wallace Baine, Neuner, the onetime NextSpace CEO, and Coonerty, now the District 1 county supervisor, co-wrote a book called The Rise of the Naked Economy: How to Benefit from the Changing Workplace. Neuner now works at Google with the department of Real Estate and Workspaces (REWS), espousing the benefits of coworking.

There’s no telling what decisions pointed toward the eventual sale, or when the company started down the path that led to that point. Did expansion a few years ago force the local company to lose sight of the region where it truly thrived? Neuner doesn’t think so.

“That was our model, to expand into other markets in San Francisco and Los Angeles and even Chicago,”

says Neuner, who was CEO through 2014.

Grutzmacher says that at the end of the day, it all comes down to money, and with increased competition from well-funded alternatives popping up around the nation, NextSpace would have needed a lot of it. They realized it too late.

“The industry was evolving, and there were lot of things happening at the same time, and raising money is a full-time job,” says Grutzmacher, the company’s lead investor, who took over as CEO in early 2016, a little more than a year after Neuner moved on. “We were concentrating on the business.”

This, he adds, is all part of the world of investing. “Nothing is guaranteed,” he says. “Just make sure your winners are bigger than your losers.”

There’s no word on the size of the payoff, which is confidential. Generally speaking, though, shuttering several locations while selling everything else doesn’t scream massive profits.

“I’ll keep my day job,” Coonerty says. JACOB PIERCE

logistically. She also helped us navigate the politics. She’s a great networker.”

Casual observers may wonder: Will Stripe stores ever become another Anthropologie? And will Stripe Design become a mainstream interior house design firm? Lock finds the very idea terrifying. “I have a fear of our stores propagating, and losing control over curation. I look at Anthropologie, in terms of a competitive business analogy. They’ve lost something. It’s very disappointing. If those words were ever said about Stripe, part of me would die.”

Those who haven’t noticed Stripe’s impact on the look of Santa Cruz shouldn’t be surprised—it’s by design. “I think it’s really important that no one can walk in and say, ‘Stripe designed this.’ If you have a signature color, then everyone knows it’s you. It’s not about us—it’s about good design.”

found objects and a collection of skeleton keys. One of the changing rooms is wallpapered with someone’s lifetime correspondence, which Lock found in a box at the flea market. From inside the dressing room walls, a shopper can trace the woman’s entire adult life, from when she first left home, to when her husband goes off to war, then comes back, right up to when her own children leave home. “She kept everything,” says Lock, who opened the original Stripe store in 2009. “It’s her life on the walls of the dressing room.”

It’s a wonderful and arresting piece of voyeurism, and Lock admits, “some people are arguably in there longer than they should be.”

Though it isn’t their stated purpose, the stores serve as an entrée to the design business.

It just happens to work that way, she

says. “People come in, like the aesthetic of the eclectic Stripe and Stripe Men stores, and naturally begin to wonder: What if my whole house looked like that?” says Lock, who calls the stores a “physical portfolio” for her design work, with their diverse collection of found, new, and locally made items. “It’s the perfect vehicle. The stores are an extraordinary playground, where we can do anything we like. I can go bananas and express myself creatively.”

Just as Stripe stores can’t be pinned to any one theme or genre, Stripe Design doesn’t claim to be retro, mid-century modern, wine country, or any one of a hundred other styles currently in vogue.

In fact, Lock prides herself on being antitrend. “My aesthetic is the quantifying factor,” she says. “It doesn’t need any other restriction.”

Her clients are as varied as her tastes.

She designed Venus Spirits on Swift Street,

built to resemble a 1940s speakeasy. The maritime-inspired Humble Sea Brewing features light bulbs hanging from ropes strung overhead and royal blue walls that pop beside the white ceiling. For the Santa Cruz Bicycles, which is housed in the old Wrigley building, she designed a freight elevator with couches, leopard-skin carpets and a “Mad Men”-style bar, replete with a stack of ’60s Playboy magazines. The company loved the elevator lounge—the fire marshal, not so much. (Although it’s no longer in use, a photo of it is on the Stripe website.)

Her true value goes beyond what she brings as a designer, according to Sean Venus, founder of Venus Spirits.

“What I find most endearing about Suna is that she’s a bridge to the community,” Venus says. “She’s a great designer, but she also connects clients with local artists and people that can help with the project

Ladies, Can We Talk?

Are you one of the many women who are suffering from stress urinary incontinence, the problem of involuntary leaking. Do you suffer with dryness, atrophy, or laxity?

Natural Foundations Medical Group is proud to offer the FEMILIFT. I highly recommend Dr Lonna Larsh and her staff to any woman struggling with leakage. I know several woman who have gone the surgical route with mixed results and I never wanted to do that but I was getting to the point where it seemed my only option.

After the consultation I decided to undergo the FemiLift procedure. I am happy to share that I am midway through my treatments and the leakage has almost totally stopped. I no longer have to even considering surgery. It is truly amazing!

Other added bonuses are increased sensation and tightening and toning. My kegels are stronger and deeper and I even have more awareness and control of the muscles.

his grandmother, Roberta.

Along the way, he’s had several surgeries, in both his right arm and his shoulder, after his old group home had initially tried to cover up the incident for years, brushing it off as scoliosis. Eventually, McGrath’s grandmother and his court advocate managed to track down the hospital records and start getting him care. Since then, he’s had two reconstructive surgeries on his arm and two more on his shoulder.

“I found out in high school there was a chance I could become permanently disabled for my whole life, which there still is,” he says. “I’m trying hard to fix my arm, but it’s a little harder than it seemed at first.”

Part of the problem, Roberta says, is that he hasn’t been able to get any physical therapy through the state’s insurance. “The system covered it up, and the system has kept him from having physical therapy that was needed for him to regain his strength,” says Roberta, who spent her retirement fighting for custody of her grandson.

Meanwhile, legislative reforms are ushering in changes, hopefully for the better. A 2015 law written

by Assemblymember Mark Stone aims to phase out group homes, and created a thorough vetting process for resource families—formerly called foster families—that went into effect in January.

McGrath has been taking Cabrillo College business courses, and hopes to someday own a car shop. Still, he worries that if he doesn’t get approved for disability benefits or find work by the time he graduates, he’ll end up homeless. Roberta says because she lives in government housing, he should be able to seek assistance through other avenues.

“I have a core belief that God gives us no more than we can handle.

There is some reason all of this is happening to him,” says Roberta.

“I do say, ‘All of this will be behind you someday. You’ll understand.’ But right now, he’s feeling like he’s next to nothing.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

Morris Concrete Pumping Service ness name is the result of a clerical error by the DMV more than thirty years ago. His name is spelled with one ‘r’, but was advised it would be expensive and time consuming to fix.) Moreno explains that when a job site is unreachable for large cement mixers—a common predicament in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in particular—Moreno acts as a professional middleman between the concrete company and the contractor or homeowner to get the concrete where it needs to be.

It’s a scene with which many homeowners can resonate, and now is the time of year when present and future homeowners make plans for improvements for themselves and their families to enjoy. Whether it’s a swimming pool, patio or the foundation for a new addition or building, concrete is not usually top of mind. But concrete there will be and Morris Concrete Pumping Service is a trusted local option for concrete pouring.

Moreno doesn’t have a specialty—he prides himself on his clean execution of any job his clients request, including slabs, foundations, swimming pools and scape arts.

“Anything that has been done with concrete, I have experience in,” says Moreno. Morris Concrete Pumping Services focuses its services on Santa Cruz County, but is happy to visit sites within a 150-mile radius.

With more than 23 years of concrete pouring experience under his belt, Moris Moreno started Morris Concrete Pumping Service three years ago. (The extra ‘r’ in his busi-

When asked what he believes sets him apart from other concrete pumping services, Moreno says he tries to be as helpful as possible to all parties—contractors, homeowners and concrete manufacturers—and ensures they’re happy

with his service. “I’m very clean, I’m very friendly and I do good work,” Moreno says. His most telling testimonial is that since he started three years ago, he claims he’s been constantly busy, with referrals by word-of-mouth from happy clients.

When Moreno set out to start his business, he says it was very difficult for him to find a banking institution that would agree to give him a loan. Then he went to Santa Cruz Community Credit Union.

“They really helped me. I had tried to get a loan before, but since I hadn’t been in business very long, it was difficult to get loan from other banks,” says Moreno. “Santa Cruz Community Credit Union helped me. They’re very helpful people.

I really recommend them to any prospective business. They really do their best to help local people, and I’d really like to thank them for what they’ve done for me.”

There’s an infamous scene from the holiday comedy ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ where the main character Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, stares longingly out of his window at his snow-covered yard and fantasizes about a summer day in the near future. He sees his family enjoying a swimming pool he plans to break ground on in the spring. In his daydream, his kids splash around in the water while his wife lounges on the patio with friends and family.

BY CHRISTINA WATERS

˘ CRISTIAN MACELARU MUSIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR No one can figure out where all of those years went, but suddenly last year it was time for Marin Alsop to bid adieu to the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music she’d shaped for 25 years. Now a new maestro steps up to the podium to lead the acclaimed orchestra into a new landscape at the edge of contemporary music. On Sunday, July 30—the start of a season bristling with world premieres, commissioned works, composers in residence, and tributes—all eyes will be on a young Romanian-born conductor named Cristian Măcelaru. An ascending star on the international musical scene, Măcelaru (pronounced muh-chalay-roo) brings astonishing energy and ambition to his new role.

Born into a large and robustly musical family, Cristian Măcelaru started making music as a child. Already an accomplished violinist when he came from Romania to the United States for advanced studies, he took a Masters in Composition and Violin Performance at the University of Miami, and quickly began attracting a growing network of orchestral assignments. This year alone, he will conduct in Vancouver, Dallas, San Diego, Glasgow, Munich, Seattle, Berlin, Montreal and Denmark, among other venues. Just finishing up his tenure as conductor-in-residence with the Philadelphia Orchestra, maestro Măcelaru takes the Cabrillo Festival podium this week as the new music director and conductor.

At what point did you choose music as a career?

CRISTIAN MĂCELARU: I can't take credit for choosing the career— nothing else was an option! [Laughs.] You grow up feeling that all families played music together. There was never anything else.

I came to the U.S. to study at the University of Miami. For a while, I became interested in physics, and went on a binge reading physics.

I was surprised that I could be passionate about anything else. But music—my biggest passion—won out.

How did you go from violin to conducting?

It was really a transition from playing violin to conducting, a gradual merging from one to the other. I was always interested in conducting, and I just started studying it. Soon I was conducting more concerts than performing violin. I first came for the summer to Interlochen Center for the Arts in the frozen north of Michigan. It was a secluded, wonderful place with no distractions. Everyone there was passionate about their art. When I arrived, there was no period of adjustment—it felt like home, surrounded by music.

<21 Is your career where you would like it to be?

I started late for a conductor, at 30 [he’s 37 now]. I feel comfortable with where I am, career-wise. With humility, I have to say that things have moved very quickly. I’ve been very successful. I’m very grateful.

Your work is never validated unless someone else endorses it. And that means having an orchestra. I believe that being entrusted with a festival endorses who I am. And this festival has a huge international reach. When Marin announced her departure, all eyes were on Cabrillo—it was a very important venue.

How do the festival’s goals reflect your own?

The Festival has always prioritized discovery, innovation, creativity and exploration.

This is aligned with my own vision. I am always more interested in performing a new piece than in doing the same thing again. Well, I like both, but they involve different kinds of enjoyment. Working with a festival involves problem-solving, requires a very quick response. I find that very exciting. Cabrillo was not a career move on my part, it was simply the perfect fit.

Does your programming favor political themes?

I wouldn’t say political. I’d say that I’m very interested in relevant art.

I think a society needs to have a mirror, and art can help provide a mirror that leads to answers. I look for composers that want to create a mirror to our society, and that includes things we should celebrate and not simply negative aspects.

It’s very important to me that art remains relevant to the 21st century, and to the community it lives in. So I’d say my programming strives for a balance between the question mark and the smile.

Was most of the season programmed before your appointment?

No, actually I pretty much chose everything on the season schedule.

We had to work very quickly.

Only the percussion piece was programmed earlier, because you don’t ask Dame Glennie at the last minute! In my mind I had the thought of what I wanted, and then I reached out. Yet it’s an ongoing thing. I began programming the next two seasons, as well. I want to see the trajectory across several seasons, not simply an arrival.

Programming this season was informed by the next and the next.

It’s a fluid process.

What is your biggest strength?

I like that I constantly search to deepen my relationship with the meaning behind the music.

My curiosity! Here’s an example: even though I was in the midst of learning music for several festival engagements, last month someone gave me Lukas Foss’ First Symphony, and here I was with 30 hours of music I should be studying, yet I stopped everything to listen. My curiosity is such a driving force. Learning and discovering excites me more than anything. That curiosity is my best feature. Whether it helps me as a conductor, we’ll see.

Favorite music, favorite composers?

I get crushes on music. When I was a student, I had a three-year crush on Shostakovich. Now I’m all over the spectrum. Sometimes I will get a two- or three-day obsession.

Quick crushes. I recently conducted Richard Strauss, and a few days later a Mahler symphony. Can I really choose?

Do you consider yourself to have a specialty as a conductor?

I don’t actually specialize in anything, except learning or performing music. I conduct everything. I’m an omnivore.

What keeps me becoming a better musician is this love of all of it—and a refusal to specialize in only one area or another.

Born in Tunisia, raised in Canada, and for the past 17 years on the faculty of Rice University in Texas, Karim Al-Zand found inspiration in the shocking and poignant letters of a young Yemeni Adnan Latif, whose incarceration and death in Guantanemo Prison remain shrouded in mystery.

The result is The Prisoner, featuring New Zealand bassbaritone Jonathan Lemalu, which receives its world premiere in the festival’s closing program. Grammy-winner Al-Zand’s powerful new work sets Latif’s words to dramatic musical exploration, showcasing the celebrated voice of Lemalu.

How did ‘The Prisoner’ come about?

KARIM AL-ZAND: When Cristi asked me to do a piece for this festival I knew where I would look. Like many composers, I keep a notebook of ideas, and I had kept Latif’s letters for some future piece. Cristi gave me free rein and this was it!

Did you have Jonathan Lemalu in mind for the vocal parts?

The singer came during the process of writing it. Cristi has worked with Jonathan before, and since he’s in London, I met him via Skype. We corresponded through email and Skype.

How did you craft the text?

I used Latif’s letters, and then I inserted some other poems to enhance and amplify the emotions, words from Rumi and Rilke.

Jonathan and I discussed how the voice would fit in. I created a vocal score first, even before I had finished writing for the orchestra, so that he could begin working on it.

How does the scale of this work compare with your previous pieces?

I’ve done voice with chamber instruments, but this is the biggest thing I’ve done! The finished work

is for full orchestra and voice. It was fun, but also a real challenge. There are so many colors at your disposal with full orchestra. And you have to balance the solo voice with the sonic power of the orchestra.

What inspired you?

The letters were first. They’re moving and sad, but also very lyrical. So they seemed somehow perfect for a vocal work.

What do you hope will be the impact of ‘The Prisoner’?

My hope is that it gets people thinking. It’s a bit accusation and a bit lament. Maybe a little of both, and the emotional arch moves between those. This is a fictionalized work, not a documentary, since there’s so much we don’t know about what really happened, what his life was like. It’s the story of a real person. The piece alternates between these letters and the poems, which I feel makes the letters more atmospheric. Narrative and poetry.

Given the richness of the subject, might you consider expanding this into an opera?

Well, it’s still a very fresh piece, but it is very operatic in possibility.

Opera is very difficult to mount—it’s the most expensive musical art form by far. But to do it as a full opera … that would be a dream!

DAME EVELYN GLENNIE PERCUSSIONIST

When did you realize you’d chosen percussion as a life profession?

DAME EVELYN GLENNIE: Age 15 was when I decided to pursue a career as a professional musician,

and made the aim of becoming a solo percussionist.

Was there a youthful epiphany?

No, not really. I had participated in music-making during all of my school days from the age of five to 16. Music was an important part of our school curriculum for all youngsters. A high percentage of people participated in music, so it wasn’t unusual for me to also participate. At 15, I gave serious thought about becoming a professional and tried to weigh up the difference between doing something as a hobby as opposed to a profession.

Charismatic in approach, wildly disarming in performance, Dame Evelyn Glennie brings both rapture and a rare sensibility to her eclectic approach to percussion. The virtuoso abilities of the Scottish musician have been written for by composers the world over. She comes to Cabrillo next week to premiere Ad Infinitum, a piece created for her by Brazilian singer/composer Clarice Assad (also in residence this season).

The collaboration between the two musicians has resulted in a concerto exploring childhood and imaginary worlds, and allows for ample improvisation by the renowned percussionist, who lost her hearing at the age of 12.

any of his pupils to specialize, thankfully. Therefore I started with what the school had available: snare drum, two hand-tuned timpani, drum kit, xylophone and small auxiliary instruments.

Do you have a favorite instrument? Your go-to sound?

No. Whichever instrument is in front of me is my favorite.

How did you and Clarice go about collaborating on this upcoming percussion concerto?

I saw Clarice perform one of her pieces with the Albany Symphony Orchestra a few years ago, and I loved her work. I then asked if she would mind writing something for me. Email exchanges happened, and here we are. Clarice has a wonderful imagination, yet she writes for the performer by leaving a great deal of room for creativity. She is so very talented.

Is the shamanic element of percussion in your consciousness as you perform?

Sometimes it is, but not always.

Percussion can be so intimate or social, it can be sophisticated, complicated, simple, delicate, raw, organic, powerful, fragile—whatever the piece of music requires.

What brings you the most pleasure in performing?

Walking on that tightrope with an audience between stress and relief.

Performing always gives you an opportunity to ask questions of yourself and your audience.

Last year’s inspired production of Hamlet proved SCS is thriving creatively under artistic director Mike Ryan, but Measure for Measure is on a whole other level than that, even. Or perhaps it’s the level of difficulty involved that makes it seem that way; I’ve always found Shakespeare’s tragedies innately weightier and more watchable than his comedies. And don’t get me started on the “problem plays,” which usually play very … er, problematically.

Measure for Measure is one of those, but the typical question of “what’s all this melodrama doing in a supposed comedy” is deftly sidestepped thanks to the incredibly nimble skills of the cast. They can draw you in with an intense build up, nail an out-of-leftfield comic moment, and then swing back into the dramatic scene in a way that makes your head spin. It’s a rush, especially watching Rowan Vickers as the Duke, and David Graham Jones as Angelo. Because she has to play it straight the whole way through, Lindsey Rico’s performance as Isabella is more of a slow burn that pays off in the end. But her character’s line that “truth is truth” is the key to Rafaeli’s poignant modernization of the play and its message.

See, I have to think that in 1603 (or possibly 1604) when it was written, Measure for Measure would have been considered, despite its happy ending, a fairly cynical play.

After all, when the Duke leaves him in charge of his kingdom, the sanctimonious Angelo, who is willing to have Claudio (played by Kevin Matthew Reyes, who is also fantastic as Pompey) executed for supposed “fornication” (which is really more or less a paperwork glitch), himself attempts to blackmail Claudio’s sister Isabella—a nun, mind you—into sex by offering to spare him if she consents. And yes, Angelo, long a controversial Shakespeare character, can be portrayed as a sadistic fascist, or soulless buffoon, or both.

But you have to see Jones in the scene where Angelo lays out his offer to Isabella. It is a shockingly real and contemporary vision of a man losing his way right in front

of his own eyes, and to his own shame. This tragic reading of the character is the only one that makes the reconciliatory ending of the play work, and it’s the only one that would match with the message of Rafaeli’s production. Though its contemporary accessories— black military dress uniforms and jackboots against an effectively stark set and a brilliant mash-up of 20th century decades—give it the air of a dystopian reading, it’s actually the opposite. This is a production about hope, and about bureaucrats, and about hope for bureaucrats. It’s about a system that isn’t broken— even when its leader goes astray.

All of the government officials want to do good, especially the cool-nerd Duke (whose disguised movements through his kingdom to try to figure out how to better govern is a political fantasy that is likely to set hearts aflutter in Santa Cruz right about now). Patty Gallagher as the Provost is the government middle manager we all dream of— earnest, steadfast and true. And Tristan Cunningham as Escalus, Angelo’s second-in-command, is convincingly frustrated as she tries to push her boss in the right direction at every opportunity.

The state is not the enemy here; it is a blank slate that requires good people to keep it in check and in balance. For the two-and-a-half hours of this play, it has them, and all of the bad decisions of a poor leader nullified, all mistakes corrected. (I’m not going to say Annie Worden as the comic-relief constable Elbow necessarily represents good government, but god is she hilarious).

Even when Angelo gives in to the lure of “fake news,” layering on ludicrous aspersions of conspiracy to try to save himself upon the Duke’s return, he soon sees the error of his ways. Truth is truth, the play assures us. For everyone. It may not be the Shakespeare play we deserve right now, but it’s the one we need.

‘Measure for Measure’ runs through Sept.

ALL FUR LOVE Mathew Taylor (Beast) and Emily Mairi Marsilia (Belle) in Cabrillo Stage’s production of Disney’s

Beauty and the Beast. PHOTO: STEVE DIBARTOLOMEO

Animal Attraction

S

taging Disney’s Beauty and the Beast for live theater is a massive undertaking.

Along with the usual lavish musical production numbers, this story calls for magical spells, onstage transformations, aerial effects, video projections, and not one, but two savage wolf pack attacks.

Just getting this unwieldy thing up onstage, with live actors and no CGI effects, is not a task for the fainthearted. The trick is to make all of these intricate components work without overwhelming the love story at the show’s heart.

The ambitious new production at Cabrillo Stage works hard to maintain this delicate balance, and is reasonably successful. There were bound to be a few technical difficulties

on opening night, but that’s the great thing about live theater: every new performance is a fresh start!

The good news is directorchoreographer Janie Scott’s production has a trio of strong performances at its heart—Mathew Taylor as Beast, Emily Mairi Marsilia as Belle, and Carmichael James Blankenship as the narcissistic villain, Gaston. There are many other noteworthy performers in the ensemble, but it’s up to these three to sell the story. If they don’t, all the effects in the world won’t help. But if they do—as they did with gusto on opening night—then the glitches don’t matter so much.

As the title implies, this is the Disney version of the 300-year-old fairy tale, based on the studio’s hit 1991 cartoon feature. In Linda

Woolverton’s book (she also scripted the movie), Belle is considered “odd” in her French country village for reading books and not being married.

Gaston, a preening, muscle-bound lout, means to wed her because she’s “the prettiest girl in the village”— while keeping up his dalliances with the other fawning village girls.

Vain, pompous, belligerent Gaston is a horrible character, but a great role. And Blankenship is perfect, with his outsized, comic stage presence and powerhouse singing voice.

Belle adores her sweet-natured father, Maurice (Richard Dwyer), a somewhat dotty inventor who gets lost in the forest and stumbles into the castle occupied by Beast. In this version, he does not steal a rose; Beast throws him in the dungeon

The Cabrillo Stage production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast plays through August 13 at the Crocker Theater, Cabrillo College. For ticket info, call 479-6154, or visit cabrillostage.com.

Love story conquers all in Cabrillo Stage’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ BY LISA JENSEN

for no particular reason, and Belle braves the forest to get him released—which Beast only agrees to if she takes her father’s place.

The castle is full of talking, singing, and dancing objects that used to be human servants, changed into tableware and furniture in the same witch’s curse that turned their selfish young prince into Beast.

Marsilia (last seen at CS as Mary Poppins) plays Belle as an independent young spinster; she has a beautiful voice and her emotions are true. But Taylor’s ferocious Beast anchors the emotional story, spitting out his lines with husky menace, or unexpectedly hilarious when throwing a hissy-fit. He matures into rumbling nobility with a couple of powerful solos.

Nick Rodrigues is completely charming as chipper candlestick Lumiere, especially leading the ensemble in the rousing “Be Our Guest” production number. Jordan Pierini as fussy Cogsworth, the clock, and Angela Cesena as the operatic wardrobe are also quite good. Mike Saenz is a funny, apparently boneless physical clown as LeFou, Gaston’s toady, and chief punching-bag.

Most opening-night glitches were from mics being smacked during the action, and some sketchy wire work. I guess the idea of using wires during the second wolf attack is so Beast, in his fury, can hurl one across the stage, but it’s a cartoony idea that doesn’t translate well; the choreography might work better without wires. On the other hand, while the audience held its collective breath in the finale, with Beast spinning precariously above the stage, his transformation was triumphant. (Or not, if, like me, you don’t want soulful Beast to turn back into the handsome prince.)

Overall, credits are up to the usual high CS standards, with special kudos to Scenic Designer Skip Epperson’s multitasking revolving castle, and the lovely rose-bordered title scrim, like a page out of an illuminated manuscript.

Dickies’ guitarist looks back at 40 years of punk rock, and the recent Warped Tour controversy BY MAT WEIR

W

hether it’s a marriage, job or loan repayment, 40 years is a long time for anything to last— and even more so when it’s a punk band. While most punks celebrate lasting long enough to record their first EP, the Dickies have been knocking out fast, tongue-in-cheek tunes since their humble beginnings in the San Fernando Valley.

Along with bands like the Buzzcocks, the Dickies are considered the be godfathers of pop-punk, with their catchy melodies and clear vocals light years away from the screams and hardcore sonics of the L.A. punk

scene that was to evolve. The Dickies are heavily influenced by bands like the Damned and the Ramones, who were known for not taking anything too seriously, especially themselves.

From songs like “I’ve Got a Splitting Headache” and the theme to Killer Klowns From Outer Space—the 1988 cult classic filmed in Santa Cruz and Watsonville—to onstage antics like a singing penis puppet and banana outfits, the band is a jester in the court of punk rock.

(But, just to clarify, “the penis puppet wasn’t there from the start, it came later,” writes guitarist Stan Lee in an email to GT).

But fans of the Dickies know they’ve always been more than a joke. A friend of mine theorizes that they never became as huge as they could have in the punk scene for the simple fact that they could actually play. Formed by Leonard Graves Phillips on vocals; Lee on guitar; Chuck Wagon on keys, sax and guitar; Billy Club on bass; and Karlos Kaballero on drums, they were one of the first L.A. punk bands to appear on American television, and the first signed to a major label (A&M in 1978), where they recorded a slew of punk classics like their first two albums The Incredible

Shrinking Dickies and Dawn of the Dickies. The Dickies also tapped into pop culture, recording covers of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” The Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin,” and even cartoon themes like “Gigantor.”

“Dawn of the Dickies is the best,” says Lee of their output. “[My] fave song would be ‘Nights in White Satin.’ I really like our take on that.

If I could have two more, maybe ‘Gigantor’ and ‘Moleman.’”

Aside from their sophomoric humor, the Dickies have remained relatively uncontroversial. That is, until June, when Phillips was filmed at the Vans Warped Tour unleashing a verbal assault on a female member of the crowd. Rumors circulated that the band was promptly kicked off the tour, splitting the punk scene. As time passed, evidence was revealed that the woman heckling the band was planted there by a nonprofit organization called Safe Spaces touring with Warped. Two days after the incident, Phillips issued a statement that fell short of apologizing, while Warped owner and founder Kevin Lyman confirmed that the band had not been kicked off the tour—the episode took place on their last scheduled day to play.

The question remains after the controversy: Can punk audiences still laugh at crass things if they’re not meant to be taken seriously?

Lee answers in true Dickies fashion. “Ask Henry Rollins. What do I know?”

Other than having their July 4 U.K. gig cancelled by the promoter, the controversy doesn’t seem to have affected the band, Lee says.

“Europe has been great so far,” he writes. “Full rooms and much excitement that we have returned.”

So after 40 years, do the Dickies still have it in them to record a new album, which would be their first since 2001’s All This and Puppet Stew?

“At some point there could be one last effort. We got a few songs kickin’ around,” Lee speculates.

“How are the kids doin’ it these days? I’ve heard of something called iTunes. Is that the way? Maybe I should ask Henry?”

Pastrana also had a genetic condition called hypertrichosis which covered her face and body with black hair, enlarged her ears and nose, and caused irregular teeth. Her life was so fascinating that for more than a hundred years after her death, her mummified body was passed from hand to hand, exhibited all over the world. In 2013, her body was finally laid to rest in her hometown, 153 years after her death. This Saturday, July 29, a group of women celebrate her life with a lecture by Dr. Kathleen Godfrey, a one-woman show by Larissa Garcia, a space dedicated to Laura Anderson Barbata, who was responsible for putting Pastrana’s body to rest, as well as crafts and interactive art.

LOCAL BAND

DUSTED ANGEL

JULY 26-AUGUST 1, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Formed while they were teenagers

by Scott Stevens and Eric Fieber on guitar, and Elliot Young on bass, Dusted Angel officially solidified in 2008 when they added Clifford Dinsmore on vocals and Steve Ilse on drums. The five friends quickly began writing material and performing locally, even releasing a seven-inch single on vinyl in 2009. Unlike Dinsmore’s other band, the influential Santa Cruz hardcore group Bl’ast!, Dusted Angel is more rhythm driven, with longer riffs and stoner beats.

40

Dusted Angel has become something of a local legend due to the scarcity of their shows. It’s an image the band wants to change, but a couple of years ago, Dinsmore was in a near-fatal car collision that left him with a fractured sternum and a long, drawn-out recovery. “That’s what really set us back,” he remembers. “Once you get away from the discipline of practicing, it’s easy to let it fade away.”

Since then, the band has steadily picked up momentum, practicing more and playing several shows until another setback hit—Stevens recently learned he will need surgery on his hands, which means they’ll only have one guitar for their upcoming show.

However, not all is lost. Loyal fans can look forward to a new full-length Dusted Angel album they plan to record once Stevens has fully recovered.

DRAKE WHITE Drake White is what happens if your favorite rugged roots artist became a big country star. The Alabama-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter has a knack for crafting catchy pop-country tunes that stay with you long after you hear them, and he’s one of the emerging darlings of the radio country scene. But White has a multi-dimensionality that sets him apart from the canned country some American roots music fans steer hard away from. Though he’s a chart-topping artist, he has a vibe that feels more underground roots hero than polished-up Nashville showman. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 7/28 REGGAE

MARCIA GRIFFITHS There’s a reason reggae fanatics refer to Marcia Griffiths as the empress

of reggae music. You’ve heard her strong, yet smooth voice on several of Bob Marley’s most iconic songs. Starting in 1974, she, Rita Marley and Judy Mowatt formed the I Threes, the backing vocalists for Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Their harmonies were a huge part of what elevated Marley’s later work.

Griffiths was already a well-known singer before backing Marley. She’s continued to carry the flame of this music. This is her first performance at Moe’s. She’ll be backed by the legendary Sly & Robbie and The Taxi Gang. AARON CARNES

jazz, Middle Eastern, rock, and bossa nova. Caminos Flamencos, a nonprofit in San Francisco, seeks to bridge the gap between traditional and Nuevo Flamenco. They are bringing their show Solo Flamenco to the Kuumbwa.

The music for this event is composed and arranged by Caminos Flamencos guitarist El Rubio, and choreographed

by Yaelisa. It’ll be an evening that includes cross-generational flamenco guitar, raw and improvised. AC

FLAMENCO

AMANDA WEST Working at the “unusual intersection where music and motherhood meet,” singer-songwriter Amanda West takes an existential approach to crafting songs. Through her music, she explores what it means to be human and how to fully live the life we’re given—something West contemplated deeply after surviving a serious car accident. A longtime musician who grew up singing and playing, West blends folk music styles and a sweet

You don’t hear the names Washington Phillips, the Dixie Hummingbirds and Sister Rosetta Tharpe thrown around too much these days. But the Eagle Rock Gospel Singers aim to change that. Hailing from Los Angeles, the group began as a loose collective of more than a dozen friends and has evolved into an outfit of six committed artists. By reviving the roots of the gospel music, the Singers introduce the spirit and music to new audiences. The group also works to bridge the divide between today’s American roots and the pioneers that popularized the genre. CJ

SUNDAY 7/30 BLUES

JIMMY THACKERY Moe’s afternoon blues series has been doing a great job of bringing in blues legends at a reasonable hour.

This week, it features blues-rock singer/guitarist Jimmy Thackery, who’s been tearing up stages since the early ’70s. He started at 14 with Washington D.C,’s the Nighthawks, who gave blues a hard-driving rootsrock edge. Thackery went solo in 1986. His music is much closer to the blues, complemented by his weathered voice that sounds like a man on the edge trying to hold himself up with what little strength he has left.

LAVAY SMITH & HER RED HOT SKILLET LICKERS

What do you think of when someone says “extreme metal?” If, for some reason, your answers are “France” and “environmental-themed lyrics,” then you are in luck, ’cause Gojira is coming to town. The band has gone from cult sensation to a big star in the metal scene in recent years, crafting a sound that is both fire-in-your-belly intense and extremely accessible, with catchy scream-sings, anthemic choruses, and technically proficient, high-speed chops.

It’s a new era for the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. After 25 years with Maestra Marin Alsop at the helm, the baton has been passed to Maestro Cristian Macelaru. The 2017 season features seven world premieres, eleven composers in residence, a guest appearance by Evelyn Glennie, and tributes honoring Lou Harrison’s centenary and John Adams’ 70th birthday. On Friday, Aug. 11, the festival presents a West Coast premiere of William Bolcom’s Ninth Symphony; a U.S. premiere of Gerald Barry’s “Piano Concerto; Jörg Widmann’s Con Brio,” which has been described as an “exercise in fury and rhythmic insistence”; and Cindy McTee’s Symphony No. 1: Ballet for Orchestra.

Christopher Nolan epic pulls cinematic thrills from World War II’s ‘Dunkirk miracle’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

hink of the different battlefronts in World War II. Now choose the one you are the gladdest that you missed. The Golden Staircase in New Guinea? Saipan? The Ruhr cities under the RAF night bombing missions, or the London blitz? That great engineer of cagerattling cinema, Christopher Nolan, convinces you that Dunkirk ought to be way up on the list.

On the cusp of May and June 1940, tens of thousands of troops from the British Expeditionary Force were pushed to the sea at the resort town of Dunkirk, France, by

the sudden collapse of the French army. A character here describes the soldiers, lined up and waiting to be ferried back home, as “fish in a barrel.” It’s more like the machinegunning of a sardine can. Strafing planes and dive bombers decimated the crowd waiting for rescue.

Nolan makes up a triptych with war’s relativity—time stretching or standing still in the presence of death. It’s one hour with a patrolling Spitfire pilot called Farrier (Tom Hardy, muffled with an oxygen mask—Nolan masked him again, after The Dark Knight Rises). We spend one day with Mr. Dawson

(Mark Rylance), the captain of the pleasure boat The Moonstone, wearing a sweater and tie into the war zone, just one of that motley armada of seacraft requisitioned by the Royal Navy. And we spend a week with some nigh-mute soldiers (Fionn Whitehead, Harry Styles and Damien Bonnard) who have an unspoken compact to escape together. In different combos, these soldiers pose as medics, and then they survive one shipwreck, then another, and then another. Part of their traumatic journey is spent hiding in a ship, waiting for the tide to rise as bullets burst through the bulkheads—it’s as

much of a wringer as the scene in Das Boot when the water pressure blew the rivets out like .45 slugs.

If it’s less cohesive than the James Ensor-worthy horror carnival in Atonement (2008), Dunkirk is an ordeal in which every facet is stomach-turning with tension.

Nolan’s borrowing from Hitchcock is a series of studies of the cornfield scene in North by Northwest, with a plane’s machine guns taking your measure as they wheel and descend.

Hans Zimmer’s slow rumblings— often drowning out the dialogue— winch up the nerves. Hoyte van Hoytema’s photography is an eerie blue-white palette that looks like the afterlife has already begun. The depth of field is especially powerful in the scenes of Farrier’s pursuit of the Luftwaffe planes. I can’t recall a WWII flying spectacle cut with such power. We get claustrophobic in a cockpit, as Farrier tries to reckon his remaining fuel with a smashed gas gauge. It all seems so uncertain: the gilded flicker of the gun sight’s spiked circlet when the sun strikes it, the frustration of shooting and shooting and not striking.

Nolan said he favors action over character, here; in this situation where fleeing or standing fast give you the same slim chances, it’s a movie about who will survive.

Rylance gives the most performance with the least material; facing danger on both legs of the trip after he picks up an unstable lone survivor (Cillian Murphy, billed as “Shivering Soldier”). Dawson has the sort of bravery that’s a close kin to shock. At the end, when he wordlessly nods at an obituary in the local paper, one judges that this nod is as much as he will ever say about the war for the rest of his life. Kenneth Branagh, hired for our memories of Henry V, glowers at the horizon line, but there’s little payoff.

He ends up playing a war memorial, really, when the film commences its fulsomely elegiac last stage.

DUNKIRK Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Kenneth Branagh and Cillian Murphy. PG-13, 120 mins.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ATOMIC BLONDE She’s an expert in escape and evasion— and maintaining a poker face, obviously—but for an MI6 agent, Lorraine Broughton’s English accent really is terrible. And wow, wow, she’s bi too? Putting in that lesbian spy sex scene (gee, wonder what audience that was added for) must be a sign of progress, not a cheap tactic to ramp up the sex appeal in an otherwise completely prudish film ...

David Leitch directs. Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman costar. (R) 115 minutes.

THE EMOJI MOVIE In the world of emojis, you’re given one emotion and one emotion only—or else. So for Gene, who is multi-expressional, things get interesting when he’s got to find his source code and fix his glitch or be discarded for good. Tony Leondis directs. T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris co-star. (PG) 86 minutes.

JULY 26-AUGUST 1, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A GHOST STORY It’s been called “lovely, mysterious, and cosmic”—with a ghost in a white sheet clinging on to his wife’s living world, it’s a ghost story of a different kind. David Lowery directs. Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, McColm Cephas Jr. co-star.

(R) 92 minutes.

LANDLINE The ultimate homage to the ’90s, with every family member going through their own internal crisis as two sisters deal with the discovery that their father (the indelible John Turturro) is having an affair. Gillian Robespierre directs. Jenny Slate, Jay Duplass, Abby Quinn co-star.

THE MIDWIFE Thirty years after having disappeared without a trace, the woman whose departure led her father to commit suicide (the legendary Catherine Deneuve) phones Claire out of the blue.

Martin Provost directs. Deneuve, Catherine Frot, Olivier Gourmet costar. (NR) 117 minutes.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS: National Theatre “Salome,” 11 a.m., Sunday, July 30 & 7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Del Mar Theatre 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

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 BABY DRIVER A young getaway driver, aka “Young Mozart in a go-cart over there,” wants out. But Kevin Spacey has orchestrated one last bold and brazen heist, and he won’t do it without his man. Too bad it’s doomed to fail. Edgar Wright directs.

Ansel Elgort, Spacey, Lily James costar. (R) 113 minutes.

BEATRIZ AT DINNER Beatriz is a holistic medicine practitioner. Her clients are wealthy and white; she is a Mexican immigrant. When her car breaks down and she can’t get home, Beatriz is invited to dinner … except, she’s not welcome. Miguel Arteta directs. Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Connie Britton co-star. (R) 83 minutes.

THE BEGUILED What happens when you introduce one wounded Union soldier to a house full of deprived young women in Virginia during the height of the Civil War? Seduction, envy, betrayal, and poisoned apple pie, of course. Sofia Coppola directs. Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

THE BIG SICK Kumail starts dating Emily and things are going great. Except, Kumail’s family is on a serious quest for Kumail’s future bride—a Pakistani Muslim like him, not a white American girl. With Holly Hunter and Ray Romano as Emily’s disapproving parents and the production genius of Judd Apatow, The Big Sick has been called “the most authentic romantic comedy in years.”

Michael Showalter directs. Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Hunter costar. (R) 119 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.

CITY OF GHOSTS To say that the most recent news out of Raqqa, Syria, hasn’t been good would be the understatement of the century—drone footage of civilians trapped in alleyways between government and ISIS forces is enough to make anyone abandon hope in humanity. When I saw the preview for this movie last week, I thought it must be a dramatic rendering of the experiences inside Raqqa, based on dispatches by those who’d made it out. The fact that this is real footage of anonymous activists who are risking their lives, and the lives of everyone they know, to report on the pervading evil of ISIS is chilling. The ordinary citizens, men and women, of the RBSS (Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently) group work in secret, reporting on the depredations of the terror organization, using encrypted signals to get footage of their atrocities out to the world, and fighting against their hateful ideology. When it finally ends, it will be in part thanks to them. Matthew Heineman directs. (R) 92 minutes.

DESPICABLE ME 3 Gru is out of a job, so when his long-lost twin brother appears with a fleet of cars, helicopters and all the money in the world, the lure of one last crime job is too tempting. Eric Guillon, Kyle Balda, Pierre Coffin directs.

Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Trey Parker co-star. (PG) 90 minutes.

DUNKIRK They were so close to home, they could almost see it.

More than 340,000 soldiers on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, surrounded by the German army, with little left to expect but certain death. Probably a far-too-real depiction (it’s Christopher Nolan, after all) of how the “colossal military disaster” turned around with the help of merchant marine boats, fishing boats, lifeboats and everything inbetween. Nolan

directs. Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance co-star.

(PG-13) 106 minutes.

GIRLS TRIP OK, so Variety’s Peter Debruge was definitely not the right guy to review Girls Trip, but we’re going to try to be slightly less tone deaf moviegoers and say that this movie looks damn funny. (Conjure up the image of Jada Pinkett Smith getting stuck mid-air over a huge crowd in a New Orleans street and explosively peeing all over them. Yes.) Plus, the long-overdue Queen Latifah/Jada Pinkett Smith reunion! Malcolm D. Lee directs. Regina Hall, Latifah, Pinkett Smith co-star. (R) 122 minutes THE HOUSE Scott and Kate Johansen are thrilled when their daughter Alex gets into her dream college. But then they find out that 401K does not mean they have $400,000, and they have to find another way to make their baby girl’s dreams come true. Naturally, they turn to a life of crime. Andrew Jay Cohen directs. Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jason Mantzoukas co-star.

(R) 88 minutes.

THE JOURNEY Two sworn political enemies, one van. In 2006, during the Northern Ireland peace talks, Martin McGuinness and Ian Paisley are forced together for a very long ride to the talks that would shape the course of the war—everything depended on this car ride. Nick Hamm directs. Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney, John Hurt costar. (PG-13) 94 minutes.

THE LITTLE HOURS Abusive language, lustfulness, homosexuality, drugs‚ apostasy, eating blood—this isn’t your average nunnery. Headed by Alison Brie, Kate Micucci and Aubrey Plaza, this tale of nuns gone bad has been called “pure trash” by the Catholic League. Jeff Baena directs. Dave Franco co-stars. (R) 90 minutes.

MAUDIE When an arthritic Nova Scotia woman is forced to find a new home and a job, she finds her way to the town’s resident grump and becomes a housekeeper, honing her skills as an artist. Based on the true story of Maud Lewis, who became so well known her paintings were

bought by the likes of then-vice president Richard Nixon. Aisling Walsh directs. Sally Hawkins, Ethan Hawke, Kari Matchett co-star. (PG13) 115 minutes.

SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING Stark made him the suite, so now he’s got to live up to the legacy.

But after stopping bike thieves and helping grandmas out around the neighborhoods, little Spider Man might’ve gotten himself into a situation that might prove too big for his britches. Jon Watts directs.

Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr. co-star. (PG-13) 133 minutes.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT They kept the legend hidden for a thousand years to protect Earth. Now, redemption will be sought—or something like that. More importantly, though, is Michael Bay bae? Bay directs.

Bay directs. Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci co-star.

(PG-13) 150 minutes.

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS Two wooden figurines passing off as adolescents are supposed to save the universe. Help us, Bad Girl Ri Ri, you’re our only hope. Luc Besson directs. Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen co-star.

(PG-13) 137 minutes.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Another movie where humans come off looking not as good as monkeys. Matt Reeves directs. Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn co-star. (PG13) 180 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.

A new dining patio in the Seabright air, plus the first dry-hopped nonalcoholic beer BY CHRISTINA WATERS

B

urrata with basil?

Meatballs and polenta?

Or perhaps one of those lavishly-proportioned Santa Croce salads loaded with various greens, fennel, feta, hazelnuts and shaved Parmigiano? These are items that continue to tempt me, thanks to the savvy cooks at Tramonti on Seabright. Now I can succumb to that temptation in the open air, thanks to the charming little outdoor deck that has recently been created next to the front entrance.

New outdoor seating at the charming little trattoria looks like just the place to spend some summer

afternoons (and evenings) over pizza, pasta, and a glass of Chianti.

Sleek metal chairs and tables perch under colorful red canvas umbrellas, while a long wooden communal table is equipped with its own outdoor heaters. Fog is no game changer at this new al fresco dining scene. There are even plexiglass side enclosures to protect diners from any unwanted breezes. Tramonti folks call this new feature “a little Italian garden,” with 24 seats and a central table “to organize buffet for private parties.”

I’m told that in September Tramonti will be adding a wine and beer bar inside, as well as an

expanded pizza bar seating.

Tramonti and its new dining patio— located at 526 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz—is open everyday from 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. (10 p.m. Friday and Saturday). Dog friendly. Stop by and just say “Ciao!”

SOME LIKE IT NOT Clausthaler has come up with something that is very convincing in the way of a nonalcoholic beer (OK, 0.50 percent.) It’s called “Dry Hopped Ale” (hops are added after the fermentation process, for you beer geeks) and the result is delicious (at least in the world of

OK, in the expanding division of summer whites, we found a new favorite Vinho Verde from Muralhas ($18/Soif) loaded with tones of apricot, nuts and citrus. I love these light, salty, very low alcohol wines— 12 percent!), and this one comes in a beautiful tall amber glass bottle. Go root around the well-proportioned shelves of Soif retail—the blush Txakolina from the Basque house of Ameztoi is also dreamy. A serious picnic wine for around $25. ... And in the key of Rioja, we are mad for the Burgo Viejo ($13.99/Shopper’s) that has become our new house vin ordinaire. Weighing in at a refreshing 13.5-percent alcohol, this creation of 95 percent Tempranillo and 5 percent Graciano grapes is incredibly versatile. We find some complexity including tones of red licorice, cola, mint, and dark berries, all strung along a necklace of firm tannins. I better go out and grab a case of this lovely wine before it’s gone!

MOUNTAIN CHANGES

Don Quixote’s becomes Flynn’s Cabaret and Steakhouse next week, to be owned and operated by SLV resident Bradd Barkan. No more Mexican food, but there will be plenty of live music. Plans also include a menu of fresh seafoods, grass-fed meats, plus organic and gluten-free dishes. When I was a little girl, and the Felton landmark was Costello’s Chalet, I remember my grandparents dancing to live music at this durable watering hole wrapped around a restaurant. Hope it works out well!

E

very summer, I spend at least one evening at the Boardwalk—usually on a Monday or Tuesday when all of the rides and treats are discounted to $1.50 and the crowds of tourists are thinner. The frenetic lights and sounds and the tempo of thrilled screams mixed with the muted hush of nearby surf nevers fails to make me feel like a kid again—as does giving into a caloric splurge in the form of kettle corn and a corn dog.

But it was the adult me that did a double take as I made my way from the Cave Train to the Giant Dipper and passed a craft beer bar, of all things, by the Log Ride.

I was delighted to recognize cans from some of my favorite local breweries. Whiting’s Foods, a local company that has served concessions at the Boardwalk since 1953, opened Bay Brews in May. Jeff Whiting, associate vice president of operations and fourth generation in the biz, says that more and more people are opting away from mass-produced beer, and they’re excited to be able to work with local breweries and expose their products to thousands of guests.

“We’re also training knowledgeable beer masters so they can educate customers about the product.”

Bay Brews offers 13 different craft beers from six local breweries— including the “Giant DIPA” Double IPA by Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, from its Boardwalkinspired series—craft cider from Santa Cruz and local wine from Monterey. Beer and cider comes in 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans, or as a tasting flight. They also offer Stubborn Soda, a craft soda made from natural ingredients, Fair Trade cane sugar and without additives or preservatives.

Aside from being far more palatable than a Budweiser, I love being able to sip a local product while enjoying Santa Cruz’s most quintessential attraction. According to Whiting, I’m not the only one: “The other day a guy walked by with a Modelo or some other massproduced beer that he had just purchased, and stopped in his tracks when he saw this place. He said, ‘You mean to tell me that I bought this when I could be drinking that?’

He gave his beer away to his friend, came in and bought a local beer.”

lthough the American-owned Artesana Winery is in Uruguay, the export director for her family’s business, Leslie Fellows, lives locally.

Artesana is a small-production winery specializing in singlevineyard, terroir-driven Tannat and Tannat blends. The 2015 TannatMerlot-Zinfandel blend is particularly interesting as Artesana is the only Zinfandel producer in Uruguay.

And Fellows says that Uruguay is one of the greenest countries in the world and has the purest vineyard environment on the continent.

“Our 20-acre vineyard is completely hand-farmed using sustainable practices—and our wines are handcrafted with minimal intervention,” says Fellows. “And Tannat has been found to be the healthiest of red wines with three-to-four times more antioxidants,” she adds.

If you have never tried Tannat, then I’m sure you’ll love this rich, full-bodied wine with ripe fruit flavors and exotic spiciness. It’s traditionally paired with beef and grilled meat, but it goes well with a variety of foods. The good

news is that Artesana wines can be found downtown Santa Cruz at Soif for only $20, so it would be an opportunity to dine on Soif’s delicious cuisine and pair it with some Tannat.

Uruguayan wines are attracting the attention of both sommeliers and consumers in the U.S., and Artesana’s wines have received accolades from numerous publications, including the Washington Post, and Wine Enthusiast.

Visit artesanawinery.com for more information, or head to Soif and choose some Tannat from their excellent selection of wines from all over the world. I think you’ll exit this wonderful wine store with more than one bottle. Visit soifwine.com for info.

ANNIE’S DIP Summer Craftbar Marini’s chocolatedipped strawberries will be paired with the wines of Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard at the next Annieglass Craftbar. The event is noon to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, July 29 at the Annieglass Studio, 310 Harvest Drive, Watsonville, 761-2041 ext. 21.

Leo is the sign of children, friendship, fun and games and most important, self-identity through what one creates. Leo’s hair is a lion’s mane, rising up from a high royal forehead. Leos always look royal. The symbol of the lion appears in the logo of many royal houses. Richard the Lionhearted re-captured the Holy Land. The heart, center of our life force, is overseen by Leo. The opposite of Leo is Aquarius, the circulatory system. Leo is the center (the heart) where all energy flows and life-force (blood) emanates. Leo is courageous, the lord of the jungle. Leo, fifth sign, fifth gate and fifth labor, is fixed fire. Like a flame, Leo’s fire burns bright for a while, then it burns low, displaying the ebb and flow of life energy.

In the Old Testament, Leo is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In the New Testament, the Christians were thrown to the lions (symbol of power in Rome). The fish (Pisces Age of love) later subdued and caged the lions. It’s written “the Sun rose in Leo at the world’s creation.” Egyptians

worshiped the Leo Sun when Sirius, the blue star where love originates and Masonry comes from, appeared in the sky and the Nile rose. Egyptian temples were decorated with lions and cats.

In China, the Leo constellation is the Yellow Dragon with the royal star Regulus. The Buddha loved the lion and often rested on his right side. In the esoteric book Labors of Hercules, we read of the Nemean Lion, divine and from the moon (humanity's past to be left behind). Hercules’s Fifth Labor was (is) to destroy that past (the moon), capture the lion (power) and keep the lion’s hide (spiritual protection) as shield and armor (used for the remaining seven labors).

The lion and Hercules, now heavenly stars, signify the individual personality coming into contact with the Soul. Everyone has Leo in their astrology charts. Everyone is royal.

Do you feel divided between four ways, standing in the middle wondering which paths to pursue? There are several past issues to tend to and complete before you will know how to proceed. Your work is to observe, assess, ponder, pray, forgive and have the intention to carefully and kindly complete all things unfinished. Then the next page turns.

Thoughts and ideas have been occurring, transformative and new, and affecting the beliefs held in your life. By autumn you’ll know more. Good things are coming about in your professional life. Are you missing family? Are you thinking about and able to travel? Tend with care and kindness to all relationships. Your group sustains, nourishes and fortifies you. But someone’s left out.

Maintain the focus into the future even though pressures and people pull you back. The new realities (new age) must be brought forth and each sign has the responsibility for a facet of that diamond. Taurus has the illumination needed to build the new era. There is land to buy, a model to construct, a community to build, expansions to bring forth so that humanity and its children will be saved.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 You experience confusion when you don’t stand directly in the center of all realities. You must do this to observe both sides in order to create a triangle of synthesis, with you at the apex. There are two paths outlined for you. Knowledge creates thought which creates symbols that reveal revelations so that Right Choice can occur.

Ponder upon, draw and visualize the seven-pointed, six-pointed, five-pointed stars and a triangle and the Cross. Again.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 A fusion and synthesis are occurring between what you were taught and what you now know and seek. Money seems always a concern. Know it will always be available.

Never be impatient with the many who don’t understand.

If anxiety erupts, the homeopath Aconite neutralizes anxiety and impatience (an excess of electrical energy).

At times, you may feel like a rainstorm.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s possible that thoughts and feelings from previous relationships are being remembered. It’s possible there’s anger concerning your childhood which influences your present behavior in adult relationships. It’s good to ask what you learned in each relationship. And to ask, “Did I give enough?” There’s still time. Everyone is learning from everyone else, all the time. Your self-identity changes.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Tend to finances; ask for assistance if puzzled, embrace the future by investing money in supplies to sustain you and others. Your organization will save you. Invest also in gold and silver. When self-critical beliefs arise, heartache results. It’s important to know the difference between good and evil, dispassion and intrusion. Always use words of praise with others. They neutralize mental and emotional distortions.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 It may feel that you need to structure your surroundings so that nothing is left to chance. Also, you want to nurture and build an ever-growing participation in a social sphere. You wonder what to do with your money as you are offered two choices. One grows, one dims. How do you decide which to choose? Which is more sustainable? Which shares more?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It’s time for something new in terms of friends and relationships. It is also time to travel somewhere you’ve been before to assess it with new eyes. Do be aware of how much work you’ve done, how hard it’s been and where you are today. In the next 18 months, your usual ways of thinking and interpreting will change. Creativity will change, too. Some of this is already occurring. Is life topsy-turvy and tumbling about? Enjoy it.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You asked for a playful column. I see why. Pluto is in your first house of self-identity. Everything about your life is deep and profound and you need someone else to make the jokes, make you laugh, free you from the dark depths of Pluto. Let’s not talk about money. You have enough or you don’t have enough. You actually have everything. Creating an altar in your home turns your home into a shrine.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Old realities are tumbling about and the thought of money and what’s of value keep appearing. Perhaps you grew up with too little or too much money. This gave you a certain lens concerning money. And here we are today, the monetary world out of control. Don’t be fearful. From ashes emerge great opportunities. Ponder upon what you want in your future. Visualize, imagine, draw, paint, write down all that you seek to have. Create a journal of hopes, wishes and dreams. They will all come true.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Things feel very complex. In your state of seeming solitude, what you do each day is very important. Create a schedule with ritual and rhythm. Stand in and greet the sun upon arising. Much of the past sorrows must be forgotten. Disappointments, sadness and unrealized hopes, too. They are of no use in our present world. If ill, consult a holistic, integrative, functional doctor who knows astrology and homeopathy. Deep, deeper to deepest layers will be uncovered. In safety.

Who or what first got you you shopping at Shopper’s? When I was a little girl, my parents brought me here. I loved it! I remember the butchers giving us hot dogs! — now it’s candy.

Shopper’s was always fun and the people have always been nice. I like Shopper’s wooden floors and the layout’s perfect. They compact so much good stuff into a small space—you’re not hiking around for 45 minutes! It’s also not boring; you’re always finding something new. If I’m making a special recipe with unique ingredients, Shopper’s will have what I need. I appreciate them not changing things around. I could come in blindfolded and still know where to find things.

What do you like to cook? I like to cook every day. It could be fresh fish (love the butcher shop!) and salads, or if I’m entertaining, I might do Italian, Mexican, Thai, or a continental theme.

Shopper’s has a lot of unique items such as dried pasta in a tube ( from Italy) and many other varieties, including, fresh-locally made pasta and a good selection of Asian noodles. They seem to have everything I need such as lemon grass for my Thai food, great herbs and spices, plus fantastic olive oil and amazing vinegars. Oh, and the best chocolates for baking and eating!

Shopper’s has an awesome wine department. And they’ll also gift-wrap your wine. Great service!

Do you think Shopper’s being locally-owned makes a difference? Yes, it makes a big difference. Shopper’s is good to their employees and it makes like a family. My daughter Kylie worked here — it was her first job! She never wanted to work elsewhere. I grew up here and want to support local businesses. Shopper’s carries fresh local organic produce, all the great breads, eggs, and so many other Santa Cruz countywide products which I shop for.

Shopper’s has been here for so long. It’s like a beacon to the community, like an anchor. This is it! Shopper’s is always fun: I see lots of people I know and even get hugs from the butchers!
