OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE It was a tough week, with the news that our community lost two people I’ve long respected.

One of them was local artist Jim Aschbacher.

He was always a big supporter of the paper and a friend to many of the people here, so it should be no surprise that we have a couple of heartfelt tributes to him this week, from Wallace Baine (page 12) and Christina Waters (page 56). Our hearts go out to his wife Lisa Jensen, who brought him into the GT family.

We also lost a longtime fixture in Santa Cruz’s radio community last week with the passing of Rob Mullen, known to many locals as Mr. Earl. Rob’s presence on the Santa

BEYOND THE BUS

I’m wondering how many people opposed to the Rail Trail have taken either bus route 71 or 69 to or from Santa Cruz to Watsonville. The 71 is a long, lurching ride, with the 69 somewhat faster. The 71 makes every stop along Freedom Boulevard and Soquel Drive, with the 69 stopping at the Capitola Mall and continuing through Live Oak. For morning rush hour commuters driving north from Watsonville, expect the slowdown to occur just past Mar Monte— from there the crawl usually continues well into Santa Cruz.

On weekdays, I wait until 9:30 a.m. at the earliest if I need to drive into Santa Cruz from South County where I live.

As a former teacher at Watsonville High (retired), I had many students who each spring would get hired by the Boardwalk to work the rides or concessions. I’d ask them how they got there, and most of them would tell me by bus, leaving at 6:05 a.m. and arriving by 7:15 a.m. I feel that a modified clean air bus converted for rail travel—or something similar to San Jose’s light rail—with perhaps two stops between Watsonville and Santa Cruz, would greatly benefit our community. Not only for

Cruz County airwaves goes back decades—he was on KHIP, KPIG, KZSC, KUSP and more over his many years of DJing. He was always ready to talk music, was an expert on early rock and rockabilly, and if he liked a set you played, you knew it was good. By the way, he got his DJ handle from the 1955 doo-wop hit “Speedo” by the Cadillacs: “Well now, they often call me Speedo/But my real name is Mr. Earl.”

All of this has me thinking about the legacy we leave behind, so it seems appropriate that this week’s cover story is about Pete Souza, the White House photographer for Barack Obama. It’s interesting to read the thought process behind his photos, but I find the images themselves particularly mesmerizing. Look at that cover photo! We had a president who knew how to read! How did we get here?

WHAT IS CONFUSING? While I appreciate your coverage of the rail and trail, I don’t really see what is so confusing. We have two similar proposals for a trail along the rail corridor. The Rail with Trail would be built more quickly, as it is already in progress. The Trail Only option would be wider and cheaper. There is absolutely no doubt that either could be built. While the Rail with Trail option could end up costing more money than was originally envisioned, the shortfall will easily be obtained via state and federal transportation grants, just like every other transportation project. While the Trail Only project would take a lot of backtracking and renegotiating with the state, clearly our local government could accomplish that if that was our collective goal. The difference between the two proposals is that one includes the potential for a train and the other does not. That is the real controversy. Some people want a train.

Others do not. >8

GOOD IDEA

GOOD WORK

RAINY DAY FUND

FULL CIRCLE

The past winter saw below normal rainfall and runoff, and the city of Santa Cruz needs to provide water flows for fish habitat. Even though the Loch Lomond reservoir is full and spilling, its meager 2.8 billion gallons of storage can only provide so much security. That explains why the Santa Cruz City Council adopted stage 1 water restrictions, which took effect May 1, limiting water for outdoor usage, restaurants and hospitality. Visit cityofsantacruz.com or call 420-5230 for more information.

Santa Cruz’s Kris Nardello, a spinner, dyer, weaver and knitter, will bring a 17th-century spinning wheel to life this weekend at the Tor House in Carmel. At the May 6 Tor House Garden Party, she’ll operate the wheel by walking backward while spinning wool. The annual event is held in honor of the poet Robinson Jeffers and his wife Una, who both resided at the house for years.

A member of their family last spun the wheel when Una’s mother visited, with 100 people gathering around to watch her work, in 1927.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “But you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately, you didn’t blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.” — BARACK OBAMA

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 2 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your out-of-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

“Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th-century abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. “Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with Cubism.

Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints.

Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

TAURUS Apr20–May20 These days you have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends, and loved ones. The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can bring you. It’s OK to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

GEMINI May21–June20 I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive.

Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the twentieth century’s major literary talents. Alas, he made little money from his writing.

Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a take-off point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, or weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones, or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, high-quality community-building, and smart career moves.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was among history’s three most influential scientists. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has been described as the central figure in modern philosophy. Henry James (1843-1916) is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully ripened— when it becomes available as a living presence—I bet it will last a long time.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation—and it won’t take years.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion. So how about it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling?

Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good.”

So proclaimed the smartest Aquarian six-year-old girl I know as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone or seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however! For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem. “Enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then.

Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle.

OPINION

I spent much of 20 years advocating for the trail. I led an effort to build the trail without permission to dare the government to explain why it couldn’t be done and organized the train ride to Sacramento to plead for the state to assist us in buying the rail line. The whole time, the trail was foremost in my mind. My family and I will use the trail every day to stay away from the fear and danger caused by automobiles. But while I was working for the trail, I was also working for the opportunity to have a train.

Trains are an important part of the transportation networks of societies that create way less greenhouse gases and kill

way less people than automobiles. Trains, including quiet electric trolleys and trams, create an alternative to cars that is not easily achieved by buses. And because trains run on fixed lines with defined stations they encourage the type of development that allows people to walk and ride to their basic services. They move us away from sprawl.

On a personal level, a wider trail sounds great, but I also care about people that cannot easily ride bicycles. And I care about the earth’s climate, which is in the balance.

So I support the trail and the train.

WELLNESS

SCULPTRESS OF PHYSIQUE Barre instructor Lindsey Brookman says Barre works smaller supporting muscles

that are often overlooked.

PHOTO: SHELLY KEASEY

Raising the Barre One writer’s foray into the new fitness craze Barre matt, a yoga strap, a rotating disc (think Frisbee that spins around), a small green exercise orb/ ball, and a set of weights. “One pound or three pounds?” asked Brookman.

That one was easy. “One pound,” I answered, quietly. I headed back to my inconspicuous corner spot by the barre (ballet bar) and the class started with a bang—actually a “Boom!” The surround sound speakers pulsated, bathing the room with an upbeat and eclectic mix of music- from ’90s alternative to Ellie Goulding.

Since Black Swan was released in 2010, the popularity of barre has really taken off. Barre “chain” Pure Barre has more than 300 locations nationwide and “The Barre Method” has more than 80.

“Pretty much all of our Barre

classes are completely full,” Brookman says. “It’s really been exciting to see Barre grow from maybe three people each class to over 40 in some of my classes.”

Brookman likes to sing along with the songs she carefully selected for the class and when the Spice Girls came on she couldn’t help but yell “So I’ll tell you want I want, what I really really want!” And, for an hour, she told us exactly what she wanted.

The workout begins with a quick warmup and a series of upper body exercises. “We are here to strengthen and lengthen!” Brookman shouts wildly. The 1-pound barbells which had seemed so darn puny, quickly became pumpkins that I strained to lift.

Brookman tells me that Barre participants use small weights to tone

onning knock-off Lululemons and the finest compression-wear a Groupon can buy, I timidly entered the studio of my first ever Barre class at Inshape Fitness in Capitola with one goal in mind: “Fit In.” Almost immediately, I realized this might not be possible. Stretched out before me, from wall to mirrored wall, were 35 women. I couldn’t help but notice as they stretched and talked among themselves that their Lulus looked real. Picking up on my confusion and borderline desperation as the only male in attendance, 36-year-old Barre instructor Lindsey Brookman greeted me warmly and guided me to the equipment section.

For the one-hour Barre class I would need a cushiony yoga-esque

BY HUGH MCCORMICK

and sculpt smaller supporting muscles that are often overlooked when using heavier weights. “The muscles don’t have a chance to kick in when using heavier weights,” she says.

The free weights, planks, pushups and other moves to target the triceps, biceps, back, and chest muscles left me breathless and my whole body aching. Next, it was barre time. Channeling my inner ballerina, I gripped the ballet barre and used my body weight as resistance to focus on my butt and thigh muscles. I’m so glad no one filmed me trying to keep the fitness orb/ball between my legs, or slipping and sliding on the rotating disc.

The barre is used as a (much needed) prop for balance while doing exercises that focus on isometric strength training—holding your body still while you contract a specific set of muscles. It’s all about high reps of small range of motion movements.

“People are really seeing results in their muscle tone,” says Brookman of the effectiveness of smaller movements and smaller weights.

Brookman tells me that Barre is a cross between, yoga, pilates, and ballet, and is core-focused. The core is engaged and specifically targeted in a balanced workout that combines cardio and strength training. I didn’t believe I even had a core before this workout. Now I feel it.

The one-hour class ends with a cool down—a much-needed period of gentle stretching to increase flexibility and allow tired muscles to recover. As I lay in my corner during the two-minute corpse pose I simply couldn’t believe how amazing I felt.

Brookman’s classes are a hot ticket. Those craving one of her classes, or any of the Barre classes offered at Inshape Fitness, routinely show up at least 15 minutes early to snag a coveted spot at the barre.

I asked my Barre instructor why I was the only guy in her class and if men regularly take her classes.

“Maybe the ballet makes some guys nervous,” she says. “Usually when guys lift they lift heavy. I did have a burly guy come to my class and he was like ‘oh my God!’ He was shaking and sweating … and he came back! I’d love to see more men take my classes— usually they just joke about it.”

NEWS THE MURAL OF THE STORY Reflecting on the art, legacy and spirit of James Aschbacher

MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY WALLACE BAINE

12

In the first half of his adult life, he sold heroic tales from behind the counter at his Santa Cruz comic book shop. In his next chapter, though, James Aschbacher played the hero’s role himself.

Sure, “hero” can be a glib, grandiose term. And, yes, it feels good to apply as a salve to the wound of shock and grief when a friend dies unexpectedly, as Jim did last week after a stroke.

But in this case, with this ebullient and generous man, there’s no other term that fits as well.

He’s a hero not because he was a nice guy—in fact, he was several degrees beyond “nice;” consistently upbeat, unfailingly kind and compassionate, and effervescent with good humor, with a loyalty to his community, his friends and especially his wife Lisa Jensen, my Good Times colleague, that was as dependable as the sunrise.

That’s the Jim Aschbacher everyone has been talking about since the awful news broke last week. That’s the man whose absence the Santa Cruz art community will struggle to absorb for years to come.

But here’s the real reason he’s a hero: He made of his life something that, for most of us, remains the stuff of Sunday afternoon daydreams. He took an audacious turn at midlife, followed an unlikely dream and became astoundingly successful at it. For the courage, the moxie and the abiding faith it took to do that, Jim earned his superhero cape.

Originally from Chicago, Jim was known throughout the 1980s as the co-proprietor of Santa Cruz’s comic book emporium Atlantis Fantasyworld, with his partner Joe Ferrara.

After the 1989 earthquake all but destroyed the business, Jim decided to sell his share to Joe, who went on to rebuild Atlantis.

Meanwhile, Jim did something crazy.

On the brink of turning 40, he decided to become an artist—flat-footed, starting from nothing, having no formal art training or lessons. He admitted that, at the time, he couldn’t even draw a convincing stick figure.

Imagine the chutzpah it took to do such a thing—would I, in middle age, have dropped what I was doing to follow some quicksilver dream to become a country singer, or a magician, or an >16

Cycling Takes Charge Electric bicycles gain momentum with Santa Cruz Rolls ready to roll out a fleet of 250 e-bikes BY KAREN KEFAUVER

C

yclist Kristen Erickson says getting a boost on a bicycle can go a long way to changing someone’s transportation habits.

Thanks to the growing trend of electric bikes, her family now takes two-wheeled adventures when they might otherwise be driving. She thinks e-bikes will soon help other generations get moving as well.

“It’s great because my parents are older,” says Erickson, 37. “They are in their upper 60s, and my mom would only be able to use an e-bike.” The Aptos High teacher and her partner, Matthew Jamieson, 38, who both live in downtown Santa Cruz, bought a $2,500 e-bike, equipped with a seat for

their 2-year-old son, Callan Jamieson.

Although a significant financial investment, the couple decided it was important for their lifestyle.

“We roll right up in front and park right there, wherever we are going.

It’s really convenient,” Jamieson says.

“Callan loves the bike and is talking the whole time, pointing at things on the side of the road, whereas in the car he might be screaming.”

Supporters say the e-bike revolution, well underway globally and just emerging in the U.S., will ease congested roads and help the planet. Others are raising concerns that the bikes will clutter the landscape and endanger others on busy roads and paths.

With Santa Cruz Bike Week kicking off on Friday, May 4, the city of Santa Cruz is preparing to launch its inaugural bike share program, rolling out 250 brightred Jump e-bikes at 27 locations citywide. The bikes will be available for hourly and monthly rates, and can be reserved via a mobile phone app or website. They’ll have specially designed features to thwart theft, including GPS locators.

Fully charged, an e-bike battery can last for about 40 miles, depending on rider weight and terrain.

However, recent Jump data from the San Francisco program shows the average ride was less than four miles. >14

NEWS CYCLING TAKES CHARGE <12 The fleet is comprised entirely of pedal-assist e-bikes, meaning the battery-powered motor only kicks in when pedaling. None will have throttles that propel the bike forward at the flick of a switch without footwork.

Santa Cruz transportation planner Claire Fliesler, who has worked on the program for the past two years, says the bikes will help riders “get from point A to point B more easily,” help them “get up hills without sweating, and make short trips around town much more doable.”

CHAIN REACTION Sales of e-bikes are surging globally, led by China and Europe, and the number of riders in the U.S. is steadily increasing. Not wanting to miss out on the booming industry, ride-hailing giant Uber plunked down an estimated $200 million last month to acquire New York-based bike share start-up Jump, the same company that will be coming to Santa Cruz.

In 2017, 34 million e-bikes were sold worldwide, with sales in the U.S. growing by 95 percent in the 12-month period ending in July 2017, according to the global information company NPD Group.

Bicycle Trip manager Michael

Moore says e-bike sales have more than doubled in the past year at his store, in both gross sales and volume. He expects the sales to crack a quarter of the store’s total revenue this year.

Michael Ahern, who opened Current eBikes a year and a half ago in downtown Santa Cruz, has plans to expand his shop in the near future.

The majority of his e-bikes sales fall in the $2,500-$4,500 price range, and one third of his rentals are for fullsuspension electric mountain bikes.

Jamieson, who works in coastal sciences, says “e-bikes break a barrier.” He’s noticed more people cycling up to UCSC lately. And his family’s own cycling excursions have so far included West Cliff Drive—the same curvy street where many residents are hoping to ban e-bikes and change the locations of proposed e-bike hubs, the stations where bike share users can pick up and return bikes.

The locations of five bike stations on or near West Cliff Drive, including near the lighthouse, boardwalk and Mike Fox Park, are currently being appealed to the California Coastal Commission.

Another possible location, at Woodrow Avenue and West Cliff Drive, has not been approved and will go before the Planning Commission this month.

Debbie Melnikoff, 63, an avid cyclist and triathlete, believes e-bikes don’t belong on West Cliff Drive’s multi-use path, especially given their potential speeds.

“I’m not against e-bikes at all,” said Melnikoff a West Side resident since 1993. “The issues that I have are promoting them and putting them in close proximity to West Cliff Drive.

My biggest issue is safety,” she says, explaining that she’s experienced run-ins with Segways in that area.

Melnikoff feels the path’s “already way too crowded,” and worries there would be “no protocol” for e-bikes.

“I think the city is asking for many lawsuits,” she adds.

West Cliff Drive, Fliesler notes, has always been designed for both cyclists and pedestrians. The notion that e-bikes would be zipping up West Cliff at a constant 20 miles per hour has come up a lot, she says, but that isn’t how it would work. “The speed of the bike depends on how fast and hard you are pedaling,” says Fliesler, noting that the bikes are a hefty 65 pounds—at least twice the weight of an average mountain bike.

Helmets are recommended, though not required, and riders must be at least 18 years old.

Going forward, Moore expresses a concern of his own—that bike sharing will “cannibalize” some of Bicycle Trip’s new e-bike >18

RENT UP EMOTIONS Robert Cavooris, a steering committee member for Movement for Housing Justice, admittedly had his doubts about his group’s efforts to place a rent control initiative on the November ballot. “I was not sure that Santa Cruz was ready for it,” he confesses. “I’ve had my hesitations about the way we proceeded.”

Part of his concern was the revelation that organizers will need to turn in their signatures on May 9, earlier than anyone had expected. The Santa Cruz City Council will be on recess for

the month of July, tightening the schedule and making activists wonder if they could still hit their target. Since then, Cavooris says they’ve “shattered” their own expectations, reaching 8,000 signatures this past weekend. That’s well over the 5,700 required, and enough to give organizers a comfortable cushion, he feels.

Calling the enthusiasm “very heartening,” Cavooris says he’s hoping it “will carry us through to November.” Meanwhile, local opposition to rent control is mobilizing, too, in a new group called Santa Cruz Together.

The coalition’s website argues that the measure will create an expensive new bureaucracy with its proposed rent board, reduce the number of rentals available, accelerate gentrification and raise rental prices even faster than they’ve gone up in the past.

“Signed the petition and regret it?” the group’s site says toward the bottom of its home page. “Click here to take it back.” The site links to a form on the city of Santa Cruz’s website for residents to retract their support of the measure.

Peter Cook, a real estate agent working on the opposition

campaign, says the rent control measure would make it tougher to kick out renters who are bad neighbors or lousy tenants. In just a month a half, Santa Cruz Together has gotten more than 1,000 people to sign on against the initiative, he says.

Cook compares supporters of rent control to climate change deniers who would rather drive their Hummers than face facts. “They don’t want to believe it,” he says of rent control organizers. “The vast amount of economists say that this is not the right way to provide housing for renters.”

ASCHBACHER’S MAGIC Jim Aschbacher’s art delighted Santa Cruz County, especially his many murals. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

16

THE MURAL OF THE STORY <12 international chess champion? Don Quixote wasn’t even that quixotic.

But determination only gets you in the cockpit. It doesn’t get you off the ground.

For that, you need a really good plan.

Jim’s first move was to develop his voice as an artist, and that first year, he attempted about 200 paintings to find his signature style. Today, anyone who knows the first thing about the work of James Carl Aschbacher can identify that style instantly.

It’s a magical realm of stars, dolphins, and sea turtles, of serene human-like creatures that wouldn’t be out of place in a Miyazaki film. It’s a world of teal and ochre and emerald, bordered by fascinating glyphs

that evoke the sea and the sky. It’s a style with no predecessors and no imitators. It’s pure Jim. Once he found his artistic stride, Jim then tackled what might have been the most difficult of his challenges: connecting his art to the community. Whether it was a savvy move to create a market for his work, or just an extension of his generosity (or, probably, a little of both), he embraced public art and became Santa Cruz County’s busiest muralist (along with Jensen, his co-credited helpmate). Tourists, newcomers and long-timers alike have gazed at his 80-foot-long “Song of Santa Cruz” mural on Cedar Street on the Petroglyph building (that’s only one of two giant murals in downtown Santa Cruz alone; countywide,

the mural count reaches close to 20).

Today, the art of James Aschbacher is as deeply entwined with the cultural imagery of Santa Cruz as that of any other artist. His distinctive style will remind us of the unique artistic legacy of this community even if his booming laughter and his Champagne toasts no longer can.

But it’s still a bitter trade.

Two months ago, Jim surprised me on stage at the Rio Theatre while I was hosting the Gail Rich Awards by giving me one of his originals, this one customized to reflect my own life. I cherish it. It will hang in a prominent part of my house for the rest of my life.

After the event, around the refreshment table, he cracked, with that devilish

grin, “Hey, not everybody gets a free Aschbacher.”

That’s where you’re wrong, buddy.

Whenever you and Lisa showed up to some local musician’s concert, or some artist’s gallery reception, or a theater opening night—which was just about every weekend of the year—whenever you lent support or advice to a fellow artist, a sympathetic ear to a friend, an invitation to dinner to an acquaintance, you gave to all of us directly what your art gives us indirectly.

It’s not only your beautiful art that will comfort us in your absence. It’s also the example you leave behind that following a dream doesn’t have to be some idle fantasy.

And the proof is painted on walls from one end of the county to the other.

SPANDEX ISN’T ARMOR.

EXERCISE

CAUTION. Wearing a bike helmet is not only required for youth under 18, it’s recommended for adults as well. But helmets are not enough to prevent serious injury; you should ride your bike defensively and be alert.

As a California cyclist, you have the same rights as drivers, but also the same responsibilities. Stay safe and help give cyclists a good name by: • Stopping at red lights and stop signs.

• Using hand signals before turning.

• Always riding in the same direction as motor vehicles.

• Using a white front light and rear reflector at night.

Above all, be visible and predictable.

It’s the Street Smarts thing to do.

The legality of e-bikes is complicated, and varies state to state. Under federal law, an electric bike with a maximum assisted speed that stays under 20 miles per hour can be sold as a bicycle, as opposed to as a motor vehicle. In 2015, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law which created three separate categories for regulating e-bikes. It allows 28-mileper-hour-capable electric bikes in bike lanes, and allows pedal-assist e-bikes to use bike paths, except when prohibited by local law.

Crafting new legislation could prove trickier, though, for electric mountain bikes. Currently, mopeds are banned from multi-use trails, but e-bikes are allowed, and there’s already friction between mountain bikers, hikers and equestrians.

One place e-bikes are not facing much opposition is on the roads.

That’s where Ed Kilduff feels “absolutely safe.” An experienced cyclist who will turn 90 in August, Kilduff says his e-bike allows him to ride with his friends in the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club. It’s something Kilduff, whose wife died three years ago, says would be “too stressful” to do otherwise.

“She was my buddy. She rode with me,” Kilduff says of his wife. “We went on tours. It left a big gap in my life and the bicycling provides a social outlet. He rides twice a week, logging 45 to 50 miles.

“The e-bike softens the exertion quite a bit,” he adds, “They are absolutely fun to ride and I can keep up. Our generation is getting older and there’s a strong desire to try and stay exercising.”

All images from ‘Obama: An Intimate Portrait,’ and used by permission.

SNAP DOOR I

n the roughly 34 years since Donald Trump assumed the presidency—that’s Emotional Standard Time; chronologically, it’s been less than two years—it’s easy to forget that there was once a time when the President of the United States was so unflappable, he earned the nickname “No Drama” Obama.

My, oh my, how times have changed.

Outraged progressives and forlorn Democrats are likely to be mighty ambivalent when it comes to nostalgia for the Barack Obama years. But, welcome or not, here it comes in the form of a stunning new coffee-table book of photographs by former White House photographer Pete Souza titled Obama: An Intimate Portrait.

22>

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 2-8, 2018

White House photographer Pete Souza provides an intimate look inside the historic presidency of Barack Obama BY WALLACE BAINE

21

MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

<21 SNAP DOOR

22

The book represents the most revealing images culled from a staggering 1.9 million photos that Souza took of Obama and his family, dating back to 2005 when Obama was first elected to the U.S. Senate. During the White House years, Souza tells me, he averaged somewhere between 500 and 2,000 photos of the president each day.

Beyond his friendship with the president, Souza says that purely as a subject, Obama was a godsend.

“He was always very recognizable

from behind, probably because of his ears. I could be behind him and show things from his perspective and you could tell right away it was him,” he says. “I feel sorry for the photographers who had Gerald Ford or George Bush 41 as their subjects.

I mean, let’s face it, those guys were pretty bland in their looks and their mannerisms. It must have been a real challenge. I had someone who was a very photogenic guy.”

On Friday, May 11, Souza comes to the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium to sign copies of the new book and tell

stories of his eight years as White House chief photographer. He’ll share his perspective on the most meaningful moments of the Obama administration, from the Bin Laden raid to the Sandy Hook shooting, and shed some light on the private personality of the nation’s first African-American president.

“I knew Barack Obama for years before he became president,” says Souza. “And even as he was leaving the White House on that last day [as president], I can’t say that the

core character of the man had changed at all. Maybe his hair was a little grayer. But basically, it was the same person I knew way back when.”

FROM DAY ONE Souza was a staff photographer for the Chicago Tribune in December of 2004 when he and Tribune reporter Jeff Zeleny pitched the idea to their editors to chronicle the first year of newly elected Sen. Obama in Washington, D.C. Souza negotiated

for access with Obama aide Robert Gibbs (who was later White House press secretary), and was there when Obama–his wife and two daughters by his side–was sworn in for his first term in the Senate.

“The very first day was really just a ceremonial day,” remembers

Souza, “and I have this picture of the girls in his new office. Neither he or the girls are paying any attention to me, so I was taking these intimate pictures on Day One. Right away, I knew he was a good subject in that he didn’t mind someone snapping away while he was doing

what he does, which is what as a photojournalist you strive to find.”

When Obama was elected president, he was comfortable enough with Souza to bring him on as chief White House photographer, a role in which he supervised three other photographers. “I considered

it a professional relationship coming into the White House,” he says.

“Coming in, I had agreements that I would have access to everything.

Well, that’s easier said than done. As soon as you walked into the Oval Office on Jan. 20, 2009, things changed. Even though I had

<25 SNAP DOOR marching orders, I had to earn the right to be in every meeting and to feel out photographing the family.”

Eventually, Souza and Obama developed a more informal relationship. Obama had a tendency to surround himself with much younger staffers, but Souza was an exception. “Here was I, a guy a few years older than he was. That meant we were kind of from the same

generation. So we experienced many of the same cultural and historical things from the ’60s and ’70s, when a lot of those around him weren’t even born yet.”

After a while, the Obamas’ trust in Souza dovetailed with the photographer’s intuitions on when to give the First Family space, particularly when it came to the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia.

“We didn’t want to do anything that would cause the girls any kind of embarrassment or unwanted attention,” he says.

Souza’s body of work as presidential photographer tends to break down into one of three categories: Obama during his work day in his role as president, his interactions with people (often children), and his efforts at

maintaining normal-guy activities, such as cheering on from the stands at his daughter’s basketball game.

Some of Souza’s images have already become iconic, including an image of the president bending at the waist in the Oval Office to allow a young African-American boy to touch his head. Another famous image shows the president in a freight elevator leaning in to touch forehead-to-

The goal of a photographer is to reveal something about the personality, the morality or the conduct of his subject, and that’s never more true than when that subject is the president. Souza saw Obama’s character come through in countless ways in his eight years as White House photographer. Behind every image is a story, he says, of how Obama relates to people and how he found a balance between his individual personality and his role as president.

Souza remembers accompanying Obama to an immigration event in Texas, during which the president was being heckled—not by conservatives, but by progressives who felt he wasn’t doing enough to help immigrants.

“So he says, ‘Look, let me finish my speech, and when I do, I’ll have a conversation with you guys.’ Now, I’m sure everyone there figured he was just saying that to shut those guys up. But in actuality, he finishes his speech and points to those two guys to come join him backstage. So the photo is backstage with these two young guys, and he’s got his hand on this one kid’s shoulders who he’s talking to. You can tell this kid is just shitting his pants. He’s just been called back by the President of the United States, and now he’s a foot away from him. That tells you a lot about Barack Obama, that he would make the effort to explain himself in that way.”

Souza was also in the Oval Office the moment that President Obama learned of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012

when 26 people—20 of them young children—were killed.

“Sad to say, we had already been through a couple of these mass shootings before that,” says Souza.

“He’s a parent with two young girls at home. His reaction, as a fellow parent but also as the President of the United States, was he couldn’t

imagine the horror of saying goodbye to your kids after breakfast and putting them on a school bus, and the next time you see them, their body had been blasted five times at point blank range by some crazy guy, which is essentially what happened. He was overwrought with emotion, as a parent.”

After living through the Big Sur landslides, Dana Richardson and Sarah Zentz continue their artistic pursuits in Santa Cruz BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

T

here’s been no shortage of excitement recently for filmmakers Dana Richardson and Sarah Zentz. Between close calls with drug lords while filming in Mexico and

evacuating their home in Big Sur, the duo has plenty of stories to tell.

Zentz and Richardson collaborate on documentary short and feature films. Their most recent feature film, Goshen, is about the indigenous

year since the land is still moving and shifting. “By the end, we were pretty over it,” Richardson says, laughing.

They moved to Santa Cruz six months later; now they have reliable internet, and the grocery store isn’t an hour and a half away. They are the new kids in the Santa Cruz art scene, and are quickly finding how passionate the arts community is, and that people aren’t particularly fond of off-leash dogs.

“It’s a strange thing to be in civilization again,” Zentz says, adding their dog has never been on a leash before, ever.

While they both value nature, working outdoors and traveling, they agree that they are different in many ways.

“I’m detail oriented and she is more big picture, I’m neat and she’s … uh … expressive,” Zentz says.

“We bring polar opposite ideas to the table a lot, and overall that dynamic ends up working for us in filmmaking,” Richardson says.

“That’s where we come alive, going out and telling stories together.”

When it comes to painting or crafting, they say, it’s best they keep their art separate. “I tried to help her make jewelry once, and I got fired the first day,” Richardson admits. “She sanded the entire side off,” Zentz says.

Both work with sustainable materials in their art. Richardson uses natural paint pigments and oils, and Zentz recently became a Fairmined licensee, meaning that she only buys and sells sustainably sourced gold and silver.

The two are currently showing and selling their work at Artisans Gallery, where Richardson was the featured artist last month. While they are planning on making another feature film sometime in the near future, for now Santa Cruz is the new home base for some much needed R&R. “It’s the perfect community for us. There are so many people that are artist advocates and supporters and are environmentally concerned,” Richardson says. “It has nature and wild space with a great arts community. It’s where we want to be.”

for our lives. It was kind of a traumatizing experience.”

Though they are by no means done with filmmaking, they recently started focusing on running independent art businesses. Richardson is an oil painter who focuses on expressionist female portraits and landscapes. Zentz is a jeweler who works with reclaimed redwood, sustainable abalone and Fairmined precious metals to create stunning one-of-a-kind earrings and necklaces.

Their cabin in Big Sur was completely off the grid and supplemented by a generator, sporadic wifi, and hoop house gardens. It was the perfect haven for creative thinking and artistic expression, and while editing films was difficult with limited internet, they say the views alone made it worthwhile.

“It was like being in a little heaven. We were able to block off the world,” Richardson says. “You wake up and there is no connection to anything but nature. For an artist, you want to be constantly inspired and shut everything out, and for us that was it.”

It was all very romantic, with 180-degree ocean views, an outdoor deck and 200 acres of perfect land, and they thought their nightmarish days were behind them. Then the land, and their driveway, began to slide down the hill.

Last May, over a million tons of rock and dirt shifted and slid down the mountain, took out Highway 1, and slid into the ocean. The Mud Creek Landslide was one of California’s largest landslides ever, and Richardson and Zentz had a front row seat leading up to it.

“I remember there were giant boulders falling into the road. We could hear them at night and I was just thinking ‘please don’t bash into the car or house,’” Zentz says. “There were a couple really big ones that fell into the driveway, so we were trapped up there for a couple of weeks.”

Luckily, with the help of a few ranchers they were able to evacuate before the landslide, and clear out their belongings and beehive. They were renting the cabin, which they later learned was unpermitted.

Though the slide didn’t take out it out, Richardson says that CALTRANS anticipates it won’t last longer than a

FIELD STUDY The newly solo Erika Wennerstrom plays the Crepe Place on Saturday, May 5.

Hard Stop MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

To move forward, Erika Wennerstrom had to break not only from her band, but her whole way of living BY CAT JOHNSON

32

F

rom all appearances, Erika Wennerstrom was doing great. Her band, Heartless Bastards, was a rising sensation on the indie-roots scene, garnering attention and acclaim for each of its five albums. Wennerstrom had established herself as a standout songwriter, and her soaring, distinct voice helped define a contemporary sound that blends psych, garage, rock and Americana with an independent ethos.

But something wasn’t right. And when the band decided to take a break, Wennerstrom felt lifted from a “self-imposed weight” she didn’t know was there.

“I didn’t realize taking a total break was an option,” she says. “This band is a job for us. To me, the idea of a break was putting folks out of work.”

Turns out that a break was just what Wennerstrom needed to revitalize her art and life. A creative floodgate opened and she wrote a solo album’s worth of songs quickly and happily.

“I’ve realized that, in life, you’ve really got to put yourself first,” she says. “When you do, it just brings out the best in you.” She adds that if she had given herself a break earlier, maybe Heartless Bastards albums would have come quickly.

“That self-imposed weight inhibited my creativity,” she says. “I

believe in everything I wrote in the past, but I’ve never flown through it.

It was always a struggle to get to the final result and the end. Allowing myself those breaks and those moments might have been what I needed all along.”

The result of her newfound freedom and creativity is Sweet Unknown, which was released in March. The album showcases a side of Wennerstrom that longtime Heartless Bastards fans haven’t seen.

She is vulnerable, open and honest with both listeners and herself.

Wennerstrom credits the change, in part, to an ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon. She had some down

time between the last Heartless Bastards album release and the tour and she wanted to do “something outside of mainstream white culture.” Wennerstrom was battling depression and searching for healing in her life. She was taking care of herself, not drinking, eating well and exercising, but “nothing fully fixed the feeling [I] had.” She became a workaholic, and tried buying things to fill the void, but nothing worked and she didn’t know where to turn.

“I realized that everything I was doing was really just avoiding myself and avoiding sitting still,” she says.

“The idea of just sitting in stillness was something I constantly avoided.”

As Wennerstrom tells it, ayahuasca forced her to face herself “in a way [she’s] always avoided.”

“It told me a lot about myself— things that were issues in my life,” she says. “Even things from childhood that I didn’t realize were issues. You can’t fix things you don’t understand. If I constantly avoided understanding there were issues, then I was never going to face myself. I couldn’t fix it if I didn’t allow myself to see it.”

Wennerstrom’s experience in the Amazon gave her a new perspective on herself and her music. Sweet Unknown is not a big stylistic sidestep from her Heartless Bastards records, but the content and spirit of it feels completely different. She sings about loneliness, transformation and needing something more. On “Good to Be Alone,” she looks back on how things have been: “I don’t wanna spend the rest of my life this way/You know I needed a change/You know I couldn’t remain the same.”

Sweet Unknown sees Wennerstrom clear, shining and strong.

“I’m not dependent on anyone or anything for my own happiness,” she says. “That’s still a process that takes consistent work. But I’m giving myself those moments to have some sort of gratitude. Through Heartless Bastards and all these albums, I think I’ve found myself, and who I am, and I’m learning to stand on my own two feet.”

Erika Wennerstrom will perform at 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 5 at Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

For T.S. Anand and Christianna Hunnicutt, collage is more than just gluing things together. Sure, it’s fun and expressive, but it also requires a tremendous amount of patience, diligence and inspiration. Anand teaches for the Prison Arts Project inside the Santa Cruz Main Jail, and her work there has inspired her most recent collages that consist only of torn paper, inspired by popular culture and landscapes. Hunnicutt is renowned for her figurative ceramic sculpture, and after 30 years, has transitioned to working with magazine cuttings, photographs and cell phone parts in her collage.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOCAL BAND

DEATH MONK Death Monk plays slow, deeply intense doom metal songs. And they are monks, as in they wear robes and each member is a “friar.” The songs can be so long that sometimes one fills an entire set.

“It’s setting a mood, because some of the riffs are repeated,” guitarist/ vocalist Friar Eric tells me. “They’re the same riff, but played differently, so it’s kind of a slow build. There’s not a whole lot of sporadicness. It’s very simple. It’s very straightforward.

There’s a certain feel to the music.”

When the band formed several years ago, Eric and drummer Friar Samuel wanted to create music that was surfy, but had a doom edge. It didn’t stick.

The kind of music Eric and Samuel ended up writing together was slow and very much in the doom vein.

MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

As Death Monk has continued to play, the members are finding that they are writing songs even longer. Sometimes they’ll headline a show and play a single song for an hour.

“You definitely get caught up in the moment and just lose track of time,” Eric says.

That’s not to say they don’t have some shorter material, too. But according to Eric, one of their newest songs, “On the Path to Acedia,” is only getting longer the more they play it.

It started out at 30 minutes and has crept its way to 40 minutes.

“I don’t know how the song keeps getting longer, but we just get more and more into it,” says Eric. “Who knows how it will end up.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m., Friday, May 4, Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

WEDNESDAY 5/2 BLUEGRASS

TONY FURTADO A multi-instrumentalist with a pro handle on banjo, guitar, ukulele and more, Tony Furtado is a longtime favorite of roots music fans. He’s a skillful singer-songwriter who defies categorization, consistently putting out genre-bending music that spans bluegrass, jazz, folk and rock. With a well-developed picking technique that’s been described as “rapid-fire quick, sharp and clear,” Furtado stands apart as an artist who balanced traditional and progressive styles into something all his own. Joining Furtado are multi-instrumentalist Luke Price and mandolinist John Reischman. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Michaels on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $17/adv, $20/door. 479-9777.

EXPERIMENTAL

BOB LOG III Delta blues is a style of music that evokes a primitive, swampy sound that will make you feel like you woke up in the early 1900s and are living in an electricity-free barn. That is, unless it’s being played by half-robot-

half-man Bob Log III, whose version of the music sounds like it immigrated from Mars. In fact, Log looks like he emigrated from there himself, dressed in the kind of spacesuit people in the ’50s imagined we’d all be wearing in 2018. On top of all that, he’s a one-man-band, and no one normal ever decided they were going to start a one-man-band. AC

One person’s trash is another person’s musical instrument—or so goes the thinking of Henry Hill Kammerer and John “Lord Buckets” Johnson, the artists behind junkbox-blues duo Hillstomp. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Hillstomp’s pioneering brand of indie-blues includes homemade instruments, found sounds and upcycled buckets, cans, lids and whatever else might sound good. The kicker, however, is the chemistry and passion of Kammerer and Johnson, which is absolutely mesmerizing. If DIY art and music are your thing, this band is not to be missed. CJ

THURSDAY 5/3 HIP-HOP

BLACKALICIOUS For anyone left on the “hip-hop isn’t art” bandwagon (how is that still even a thing in 2018?), go see Blackalicious at the Catalyst this Thursday.

Formed in Davis in the early ’90s by MC Gift of Gab and DJ Chief Xcel, Blackalicious is known as one of the most talented and complex hip-hop groups ever, by critics and fans alike. Quite an amazing feat for a duo that only has four albums over 20 years. However, it’s easy to see once listening to Xcel’s futuristic beats and Gab’s mind-numbing metaphors delivered in a torrential downpour of

“Congratulations” on The Hamilton Mixtape; being published in New York Times Magazine; a new book set for release later this year; and much more.

RAINBOW KITTEN SURPRISE Rainbow Kitten Surprise sounds like the kind of band that is obsessed with American roots music, but has never stepped foot in the U.S.—an interpretation of an interpretation of an interpretation. In reality, the fivepiece hails from the Americanest of states, North Carolina, but the members have nonetheless mastered the skill of hocking all their Americana, country and R&B influences into a spittoon until it comes out sounding like a lost collaboration between Modest Mouse and the Kings of Leon—but weirder.

that suggests America’s sweetheart.

But don’t let the name fool you; she writes the kind of honky-tonk music that would be best suited to bars with iron wiring covering the stage. Her song “Everybody Else Can Kiss My Ass” tells you pretty much everything you need to know about where she’s coming from. Sweeney is touring with Ward Davis, whose brand of country is more of the low-key, miserable variety. There aren’t any good guys in his songs. The two will give you an evening of music that you won’t likely hear on popular country radio, but that’s just because there’s no soul in mainstream country anymore. AC

Drummer Scott Amendola is a fixture on the contemporary jazz scene. On May 21, Amendola joins forces with Wil Blades on organ and clavinet, Jeff Parker on guitar and Cyro Baptista on percussion.

FILM

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED The bulk of Marvel’s superhero universe chips in for ‘Avengers: Infinity War.’

Mad Multiverse MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The only thing wrong with the latest Marvel installment, ‘Avengers: Infinity War,’ is it will be hard to top BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

52

P

reposterously large, purple, and full of wrath, the villain in Avengers: Infinity War—the destroyer of worlds, Thanos (Josh Brolin)— reveals his philosophical reasons for wanting to prune the universe.

Hearing him out, the magus Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is unimpressed: “Congratulations, you’re a prophet.”

This is but one of dozens of styles of grace under pressure here.

It’s all about courage in various modes: headstrong idiots like Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill; the Vision (Paul Bettany) resigned to his potential fate; the unsuperpowered Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)

pitching herself into a fight with a monster; Peter Parker (Tom Holland), still an eager, fearless kid who ends up clinging to a spaceship before he’s had a chance to think it over; and Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man—Nanotech-Suit Man now— who has mortality hanging over him like a cloud.

Somehow the most satisfying style is the mad confidence of Thor (Chris Hemsworth). How genuinely stirring to see him wave away the warning of a Jack Kirby-worthy giant dwarf (Peter Dinklage) that a certain ordeal is suicide: “It will kill you!” Thor’s noble response, “Only if I die!”

Avengers: Infinity War is all

over the map from deep space to Wakanda to the U.K.—there, Paul Bettany’s The Vision and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch toss a henchman of Thanos all over Durham Cathedral. Yet, despite the shifts of scene, the dozen-and-ahalf leads, the changes of mood from comic to lethal—from colossal fight scenes to the Avengers’ usual battlefield backchat—the Russo Brothers’ adventure seems solidly entertaining and surprising.

The flavors of this multi-movie sundae blend beautifully. And there isn’t that sense of the ride coming to an end as soon as the big final fight commences. The Russos seemingly always have something

to cut to—some new angle on this mad multiverse fight as Thanos tries to gather essential jewels for the gauntlet he needs to complete his omnipotence.

It is the first half of a two-parter— always a bringdown. The movie has infinity in the title, but there's a sense of limits coming up. Given the roster of entertainments to come, we may be facing in 2018 what 1968 was to spy movies: a complete saturation, structures so big that they can’t be topped.

Avengers: Infinity War PG-13, 156 Mins.

Starring Paul Bettany, Josh Brolin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Dinklage, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BAD SAMARITAN Undoubtedly the title for this movie was produced by the shortest Hollywood meeting ever. Studio exec No. 1: “OK, so we need a title for this movie where two guys go to rob a house, but it turns out this woman is being held captive there, and they try to help her.” Studio exec No. 2: “Ooh, so it’s like a Good Samaritan, except bad?” Studio exec No. 1: “Meeting adjourned!”

Directed by Dean Devlin. Starring David Tennant, Robert Sheehan and Kerry Condon. (R) (SP)

MAY 2-8, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GODARD MON AMOUR The writer and director of the love letter to cinema The Artist, which was an arthouse sensation back in 2011, returns with another study of moviemaking. But I wouldn’t expect this comedy biopic about director Jean-Luc Godard’s relationship in the late ’60s with an actress 16 years younger than he was—and who starred in several of his films— to be quite so sentimental. Directed

by Michel Hazanavicius. Starring Louis Garrel, Stacy Martin and Micha Lescot. (R) 107 minutes. (SP)

OVERBOARD Just last week, I was thinking, “You know what I wish they would remake? The forgotten 1987 Kurt RussellGoldie Hawn romantic comedy Overboard. Except switch it so the wealthy guy gets amnesia after he falls overboard, and then the woman convinces him they’re married.” And what do you know, here it is, starring Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez! By the way, I’m obviously kidding about having wished for this remake last week.

It was two weeks ago. Directed by Rob Greenberg. Co-starring Eva Longoria and John Hannah. (PG13) 112 minutes. (SP) TULLY Is there anything Charlize Theron can’t do? This time she’s an overworked mother of three with a newborn in this very dry comedydrama, in which she’s gifted a “night nanny” named Tully (Mackenzie Davis) who changes her life in unexpected ways. Directed by Jason Reitman. Co-starring Mark Duplass,

Ron Livingston and Kitty Crystal. (R) 96 minutes. (SP) 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 AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Reviewed this issue. Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo.

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. (PG-13) 139 minutes. (SP) BLACK PANTHER After months of jaw-droppingly cool trailers and ever-more revealing clips, anticipation for this latest Marvel comic adaptation is at a fever pitch. The character at the center of this story, T’Challa (played here

by Chadwick Boseman), goes all the way back to 1966, and was the first character of African descent in a major American comic.

Incredibly, it took more than 25 years of development hell for this adaptation to finally reach the big screen—but it’s finally here, primed to be one of the biggest movies of the year. Directed by Ryan Coogler. Co-starring Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Bassett. (PG-13) 134 minutes. (SP) BLOCKERS Apparently it’s still taboo to use the phrase “cockblockers” as a movie title, so the makers of this comedy instead put a silhouette of a rooster in front of the word “blockers.”

So much classier! And hey, what else but total class would you expect from a movie about parents trying to keep their sex-obsessed teenagers from boinking after prom? Directed by Kay Cannon. Starring John Cena, Leslie Mann and Kathryn Newton.

(R) 102 minutes. (SP) FOXTROT Israeli drama follows a Tel Aviv couple who learn their soldier son has been killed in the line of duty. Not everything turns out to be what it seems, however.

Directed by Samuel Maoz. Starring Lior Ashkenazi and Sarah Adler. (R) 112 minutes. (SP) I FEEL PRETTY Amy Schumer is one of those comedians who a lot of people complain about, but secretly know is awesome. In this comedy, she secretly knows she’s awesome, after a head injury makes her think she looks like a supermodel. Will she learn to accept herself as beautiful even when she recovers? Chances are good! Directed by Abbey Kohn and Mark Silverstein. Co-starring Michelle Williams, Busy Philips, and Emily Ratajkowski. (PG-13) (SP) ISLE OF DOGS You don’t even have to consider yourself a “dog person” to get a kick out of this cheerworthy tale from Wes Anderson in which political chicanery is thwarted by one plucky boy and a pack of domesticated canines, unfairly exiled to an offshore garbage dump, who rally round to help him search for his lost pet. The near-future Japan setting, a vivid soundtrack of Taiko drumming and Kurosawa samurai themes, and an impressive all-star voice cast make this a howling delight. Directed by Anderson. Featuring the voices of Bryan Cranston, Bill Murphy, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum and Tilda Swinton. (PG-13) 101 minutes. (SP) ITZHAK Guess who this documentary is about. No, not Vanilla Ice! Why would you even guess that? Lou Bega? Why are you only guessing terrible ’90s people?

Anyway, it’s Itzhak Perlman. I totally thought you were going to get that. Directed by Alison Chernick. (NR) 82 minutes. (SP) LEAN ON PETE A teenager befriends a forgotten racehorse while working a summer job with a horse trainer.

Directed by Andrew Haigh. Starring Travis Fimmel, Steve Zahn and Chloe Sevigny. (R) 121 minutes. (SP) LOVE, SIMON The clever trailer for this film does a good job of building up the big secret that high schooler Simon is keeping: he’s gay. What happens when everyone finds out?

Well, it’s a romantic comedy, not, say, a horror film, so the outlook

is good. Starring Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Garner.

Directed by Greg Berlanti. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (SP) PACIFIC RIM UPRISING Isn’t it kind of weird to think that, as of Guillermo Del Toro’s Oscar victory for The Shape of Water, the original Pacific Rim—a movie about giant robots that battle giant monsters—is officially the product of an Academy-Award-winning director? It’d be like if Michael Bay won an Oscar for directing, and we all started thinking about the Transformers movies differently … okay, that’s not going to happen.

For this sequel, the series lost Del Toro as director (he’s producing here) and Idris Elba as its marquee actor, but adds John Boyega as his robot-driving, monster-fighting son.

Directed by Steven S. DeKnight. Costarring Scott Eastwood and Jing Tian. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP) A QUIET PLACE You may only remember him as the goofy straight man from The Office, but John Krasinski has been quietly writing and directing offbeat indie films for years. This one—which he directed, co-wrote, and stars in (with his wife, Emily Blunt)—could be his first big hit. Following the recent trend of smart, trippy horror thrillers, it’s about a family hiding from creatures that hunt using sound. (PG-13) 90 minutes. (SP) READY PLAYER ONE This film adaptation of the book that crammed every reference to ’80s nerd culture into one story is brought to you Steven Spielberg, the man who gave you most of that ’80s nerd culture in the first place.

Pop will indeed eat itself. Most people are going for the Easter eggs (and released on Easter week, too—clever!), but in case you care about the story, it’s about a kid in 2045 who joins a treasure hunt through a virtual-reality world called the Oasis that gives people respite from their dreary real lives. Starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn and Simon Pegg. (PG-13) 140 minutes.

SUPER TROOPERS 2 It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! It’s time to

gather up your stoner friends, grab a container of maple syrup, and head to the sequel to meow one of the greatest cult movies of our young century. The Broken Lizard troupe returns to their roles as the meow pride of the Spurbury Police Department—except that this time around, they’ve been fired. Which is about the only narrative element of Super Troopers that seems realistic thus far. Meow! Somehow, they get pulled into a U.S.-Canada border dispute, and … well, it’s gonna be a hell of a mustache ride. Directed

by Jay Chandrasekhar. Starring Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Rob Lowe and Brian Cox. (R) (SP) TOMB RAIDER When critics described her turn as a robot object of desire in Ex Machina as a “breakout role,” I doubt they had any idea how right they were. Now, here she is poised to be the next Angelina Jolie, taking over as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider franchise.

I know, I know, The Bourne Legacy didn’t exactly make Jeremy Renner the next Matt Damon, and the Carrie remake certainly didn’t make Chloe Grace Moretz the next Sissy Spacek. Geez, you people are cynical! (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP) TRUTH OR DARE Guess the plot of this horror movie! A game of Truth or Dare turns deadly when a) teenagers start mysteriously dying if they fail to tell the truth or do the dare; b) one of the dares is to eat a Tide Pod; c) Madonna shows up thinking this might be the sequel to her 1991 documentary, and goes berserk when none of the teens in this movie even know who she is.

I think even though we know the answer is a, we all wish it was c.

Directed by Jeff Wadlow. Starring Lucy Hale, Tyler Posey and Violett Beane. (PG-13) 100 minutes. (SP) YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE This Joaquin Phoenix movie from writer-director Lynne Ramsay about a loner misfit who tracks missing girls for a living is being called the “Taxi Driver for a new century.” Maybe they should have called it Uber Driver? Co-starring Judith Roberts, Larry Canady and Neo Randall. (R) 89 minutes. (SP)

Pacific Coffee Roasting Company celebrates 30 years, and a toast to Jim Aschbacher BY CHRISTINA WATERS

C

ongratulations to Dena and Tom Hope, celebrating 30 years as founder/ proprietors of Pacific Coffee Roasting Company. Tucked into a central corner of the Aptos Center complex—same one that includes the wonderful home decor mecca Outside-In—the sunny, inviting coffeehouse is loaded with comforting ambience and gleaming onsite coffee roasting equipment. I sipped an impeccably made double macchiato while soaking up the unpretentious charm of this local hangout. Patrons were reading, writing on laptops, getting together

for morning coffee, and enjoying something from the irresistible pastry display. Everything roasted here is also on sale here, and the back wall of Pacific Coffee Roasting Company is lined with bins containing dozens of varieties of beans, ready to be bagged up, or fresh ground for take-away.

“We started this place when our kids were babies,” Dena says with a chuckle. “And now they’re grown men. We even have our third generation of regular customers.”

Some pastries are done in house— “muffins, cinnamon rolls, cookies.

And we have several amazing bakers

we turn to as well, she says. Those amazing bakers provide the coffee house’s amazing layer cakes—the coconut and the carrot varieties are outstanding. “We go through an incredible amount of beans each week—we love our coffee beans,” she adds. As amazed as anyone that they have been around for so long, Dena reveals the secret of her coffee shop’s success: “it’s been so much fun,” she says. I nibbled a bit of old-fashioned New York crumb cake with my espresso and enjoyed a luxurious taste of the past. The clientele is eclectic and the baristas are friendly and helpful. Little

A gifted and generous host, Jim Aschbacher filled every room he entered with energy. His life force still resonates for all who knew him and were touched by his insistent joie de vivre. He was the bubbly in the glass—every glass—yet it is his powerful determination to live large that I recall most vividly. In the 35 years that I knew him, he applied himself with playful persistence to every moment, every encounter, and every chance to make art. Over the decades, Jim and Lisa’s Oscar Night parties provided the perfect setting for the Aschbacher touch— plying us with Champagne, making sure everybody had filled out their Oscar picks, and in the course of the evening dazzling us all with his encyclopedic memory for film and TV trivia, and his insightful interpretations. Jim was a serious man disguised as a jovial prankster.

He was serious about wanting to make people smile, but he was most serious about his devotion, admiration, and love for his sweetheart Lisa. He was her partner every day, in every way. Here’s to a life well lived. See you on the other side, Jimmy!

Breadmaking with Quail Hollow Kitchens’ Patricia Davis BY LILY STOICHEFF

I

to picking tools to baking technique.

The slices of warm, airy bread she offered were proof to me that she walked the walk. And she quickly identified my problem: the chlorine in the tap water I used was killing the good bacteria in my starter, inhibiting its ability to properly ferment. In the weeks since, my baking has done a complete 180.

While Davis grew up with sourdough bread and baked goods, her own enthusiasm for baking it was reawakened about five years ago when her daughter returned from Humboldt with a vigorous starter. Two years ago, she shifted the focus of her classes to sourdough bread, and now offers beginner, intermediate and advanced classes.

“It’s very restful,” Davis says of breadmaking. “It’s not a lot of kneading, but there’s a lot of touching and it’s hands on. It’s very rewarding when you bake it and you fill your house with those beautiful smells. It fulfills me.”

The “Science of Bread: Intro to Sourdough Bread-Making” workshop will be held Saturday, May 12, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Live Oak Community Complex Center.

’m no stranger to fermentation, and enjoy making everything from beer, cider and soda to sauerkraut, kimchi and cheese. But one project has intimidated me for years: bread. This year, I decided it was time to put my fears aside and finally fulfill my dream of filling my home with the smell of sourdough.

I armed myself with books, a gloopy-looking starter and the attitude that if humans have been doing it for thousands of years, then I can, too. Despite my optimism, however, my first few dozen loaves refused to rise in the oven. No matter how many YouTube videos I watched, I was stuck in what I now refer to as “my crouton phase,” as I repurposed the failed loaves into toast for soups and salads. I decided I needed professional guidance.

Help came in the form of Patricia Davis, founder of Quail Hollow Kitchens and breadmaking maven.

I attended her “Science of Bread: Intro to Sourdough Bread-Making” workshop held at the gorgeous Quail Hollow Ranch that inspired the name of her business. Over the course of three hours, Davis revealed a wealth of information on bread baking with starter—from choosing ingredients

Silver Mountain A rich and full-flavored Syrah 2012 from the Santa Cruz Mountains BY JOSIE COWDEN

M

y husband and I were lucky to find Jerold O’Brien manning his tasting room one Sunday last month. With two locations for tasting his wines, plus a constant string of wine-related events to take care of, O’Brien is always busy.

One of the wines we tasted was a superb 2012 Syrah, Santa Cruz Mountains ($34). Rich and fullflavored, this bursting-with-fruit Syrah is laden with stewed plum, blackberry and an abundance of earthy spices. Aromas of licorice, jam, smoke and tar let you know in advance what deliciousness awaits.

O’Brien’s wines don’t miss out on any score. With nearly 40 years of winemaking under his belt, all of his varietals are impressive and well-made. His hefty Syrah comes with the expected “meat and pepper” flavors—although this is not the criteria for a good Syrah.

Silver Mountain is participating in the Silicon Valley Wine Auction, May 19-20, a prestigious event organized by the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association. Visit scmwa.com

for information. And last month O’Brien participated in the fun Dare to Pair food and wine competition— pairing his well-known Alloy (a rich Bordeaux-style blend) with a delicious tri-tip.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES TAURUS, DESIRE, VULCAN AND WORLD SERVERS

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Your shadow is Libra, the art and creation of Right Human Relations. Aries develops individuality (not quite understanding cooperation). Libra cooperatively develops the self with others. Integration for Aries occurs in relationship and partnership. Observe your behavior with others. Are you always the leader, the initiator, or do you assist others in discovering their initiating leadership qualities? “All that begins in Aries resolves itself in Libra.”

While you focus your entire life energies on relationships— how to have them, keep them, maintain and tend to them— your Aries side scoffs, thinking your relationship needs are dependencies and humiliating. But you know you cannot exist without them. Libra needs the “other” in order to understand how to be in relationships. Life for Libra means two, not one (like Aries). Poor lonely Aries, Libra thinks. But then senses a lack of freedom. Interesting paradox.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Your shadow is the deep waters of Scorpio, sign of the Disciple. You test the trustworthiness of others.

As you seek the Art of Living, Scorpio seeks the Art of diving deep into darkness (dying, regenerating), inviting everyone to join them. While you seek safety and comfort, Scorpio is living life behind closed doors, too hidden to go out. Taurus loves Scorpio but often, unable to see in the dark, doesn’t know it yet.

You never fall into the illusion of others providing for you. You provide everything, at all times, for yourself, by yourself. You are the “triumphant warrior.” However, sometimes you peek out from your closed black curtains to see how Taurus, over there practicing the Art of Comfortable Living, is doing and sometimes you wish you were a Taurus, too. It’s hard being in self-denial most of the time in order to protect yourself. Or drowning in dark waters. Perhaps you need a couch.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You seek Sagittarius to take you on an adventure far away (from your neighborhood). You sometimes wish you could play music, prepare food and travel like Sag—rather than gather information that overwhelms, sometimes infuriates, and causes confusion if love isn’t around. You long for Sag’s “focus.” They never fall off the mountain. You’re secretly and emotionally falling down everywhere into meadows of flowers, blinded, yet often happy, about where you’re going.

Always on the road, even in your mind, seeking the next place, goal, project, plan, person … anything keeping you moving, arrow-like, focused on what’s ahead. You wish you were Gemini sometimes, provincial, afraid to wander away from the neighborhood, content to sip on local flowers, never venturing up Sir Hillary’s Mount Everest, which signified a spiritual ascent for humanity. You’re always where the greatest need for you is. You’re needed, you ask?

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

We’re always unconsciously attracted to our opposite signs. You wish you could bring forth all that’s practical.

The opposite of practical, your environments are piled high with boxes, baskets, trinkets everywhere, the stove filled with soups and stews. You seek the Capricorn clearing-out method of “throw everything out, turn off the heat, tear up the rug, and give everything away,” way of life. It’s not nurturing. It’s not you! But a tiny part is!

You are, yes, practical and methodical, can turn chaos into order, can supervise and shape up a crowd of hungry partygoers with a baleful glance, but really what you need is some chicken soup and matzo balls from Cantors (or Zabar's) made

by Cancer hands with a bit of warm heart thrown in. While you’re known for resourcefulness and sturdy boots that climb ladders to the top of mountains, you also need the kindness Cancer’s emotional support offers. Mother, where are you?

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

We gaze at our opposites. They seem to have all the attributes we seem to lack. You, the heart-felt, need to be recognized, praised, and applauded for anything you create.

You gaze across the room to the Aquarian—the foot loose, fancy-free, friendly acquaintance to everyone (acquaintance to everyone, friend to none)—floating happily here and there, giving things away, putting up art shows, taking them down as if heedless to time. Where is their love? you ask.

You don’t think you need anything but the future. But really you need a bit of a Leo’s warm heart in order to catch (and keep) a full time partner that becomes a marriage (someday, maybe). While you prize your freedom, you gaze at Leo’s circle of friends always supporting their creativity and wish you could have a bit of Leo’s heated drama in your cold neon-lit life.

Seek out a Leo. Tell them you’re in need. Keep making art.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 2, 2018

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Whereas you are detailed to the minute, Pisces swoons with any detail. It wounds them. Whereas you can bring order and organization to everything, Pisces doesn’t even know most things exist to be organized. As you are able to serve the self, Pisces knows it must serve and save the world, first. Pisces has no self. Sometimes you wish you were a Pisces. All this detail work makes the eyes dim and tired. Next life.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 While you’re listening to the Mind of God, while you see devas (fairies and light beings in the garden) and understand all things mystical, as you “slouch toward Bethlehem” with the Magi hoping to catch the holy child before His flight to Egypt, you gaze upon Virgo, gestating a new state of awareness with poise, neatness, self-control, composure and dignity. While you are rumpled, disheveled, sweating, lost and wondering where you came from. You call to Virgo. It’s your wound sometimes.

Taurus follows Aries. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. From the Fire of Aries, Taurus settles the Aries fire with its deep and penetrating earth. Taurus is reliable and loving, faithful and generous, consistent and balanced, gentle and modest. Taurus takes the initiative impulses of Aries, presents us with new concepts, and anchors the ideas into matter. Taurus adds desire and aspiration to the impulses of Aries. Taurus is the Buddha, aware of the sufferings in the world, offering to help humanity via the Eight Noble Truths.

Desire is the quality of Taurus. It is not desire that destroys humanity, but the expectations of desire. Desire is very focused within our planet Earth. The Bull of Desire is a symbol of power, vitality, energy and potency. Desire to create was the energy behind the Lords who created

planet Earth and the humanity living upon it. Desire is part of the powers of Creation.

The horns of the bull in Taurus signify desire for life itself, for experiences, for comfort and satisfaction. When these are achieved, then the desire is for knowledge; desire lifted up to Aspiration—aspiring for an intelligent, illuminated mind. The New Group of World Servers is governed, directed and protected by the sign of Taurus.

Vulcan (Soul ruler of Taurus), the mysterious planet (hidden between Sun and Mercury in astrology charts), comes forth in Taurus. Vulcan is Hephaestus, husband of Venus. Vulcan forges the Path ahead, and in the fires of experience, fashions the lead of the personality into the chalice of the Soul.

This “chalice” holds the Wesak blessings.

THOMAS WITZ, 42-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Landscape manager, Coastal Evergreen Company Hobbies: Tennis, cooking, organic gardening Astrological Sign: Leo Who or what first got you shopping here?

A neighbor. He said he loved this store. I was more of a So Cal kinda guy and was used to big supermarkets. I stopped in and was astounded! Shopper’s had more products than the larger markets in a much smaller space and it was way easier to shop here. They even had my favorite Italian espresso. Just like that Shopper’s became my main store! One of the things that I really like is their local produce, mostly organic, which is priced better than all the other stores.

What do you like to cook? I cooked at the Crepe Place for 8 years, also Riva Fish House on the wharf. I love making seafood gumbo, and enjoy barbecuing salmon and culotte steaks. I was a vegetarian for a long time so I often lead with veggie dishes such as home-made pesto from my garden, stir fries and soups, like potato leek and kabocha squash. But I now eat meat regularly. My sister was visiting and I bought a brisket. Shopper’s butchers trimmed the fat and it was really good. I have fun in the kitchen. It’s relaxing. Shopper’s carries all that I need, including a wonderful spice section.

What would you tell someone new to the community about Shopper’s? If you are only going to shop one store, Shopper’s should be that store because of quality, variety and convenience. I know they’ll always have what I need, so that makes it easy for me. Shopper’s cheeses and wines are fantastic and their wine specials are terrific. The butchers are knowledgeable and the checkers are really friendly. I feel welcomed here.

I like shopping and supporting local businesses.

My good friend Terry, his daughter is married to Andre (Beauregard), so now Shopper’s feels even more local for me!
