OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I’ve long thought that what happened to the 1946 film adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel The Big Sleep is great illustration of two distinct ways of looking at the noir genre. The Howard Hawks-directed movie was originally completed in 1945 with a tight, clever narrative (adapted primarily by William Faulkner) that fully explained the case that Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe had gotten himself wrapped up in.

But as the pairing of Bogart with Lauren Bacall was becoming a national phenomenon, producer Jack Warner was convinced to add new scenes with the couple. The film that was finally released was only two minutes longer, but it had more than 20 minutes of different footage. It also made no sense, because what was cut out to allow for the new scenes was the explanation of what was actually going on. Most people didn’t care too much, because the Bogie and Bacall scenes feature some of the best

MIND EXPLORERS

Thank you for your article on Michael Pollan and his mind-altering experimentation (GT, 5/30).

This is not new to Santa Cruz, however.

Santa Cruz has been fertile ground for experimentation from the early 1960s to present day. Please reference the work Ralph Abraham and others have done in this regard at HipSantaCruz.org.

In 1977, Linkage, a small group of futuristic visionaries, brought Dr. Albert Hofmann, the person who inadvertently discovered LSD, to UCSC for his first visit to the United States for a conference entitled “LSD - A Generation Later.” This was a time when many of the second generation of mind explorers laid the groundwork for what was erroneously mislabeled as the “New Age.” The process for mind exploration was laid by many professional people from all walks of life with much emphasis on the

onscreen chemistry in the history of film, and the released version’s quintessential noir attitude and atmosphere helped make it a huge hit. Only in 1997 did the public get to see the complete original version, sparking a debate about what is more important to successful noir: a great story, or incredible style?

I put this question to Susie Bright and Willow Pennell, the editor and associate editor of the new Santa Cruz Noir anthology, and they came back with a split decision on The Big Sleep.

Bright prefers the story-first approach of the original, untinkered-with film, while Pennell felt the added scenes between the co-stars are why we consider it one of the best noir films of all time today. I just like that this team of noir editors had a representative from both camps; it certainly helps explain why the resulting book is full of both tightly wound narratives and endless hardboiled atmosphere.

In my cover story this week, they explain what it took to pull together this short-fiction walk through Santa Cruz County’s dark side. It’s a thrilling, whip-smart book that will dazzle local lovers of crime fiction, and I hope you enjoy this look at how it was made.

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

pioneering work of Ralph Metzner, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass,) and Timothy Leary. (In spite of the controversial media coverage in those days precipitated by President Richard Nixon, who thought Leary was “The Most Dangerous Man in America.” He was arrested and imprisoned as a “political prisoner” for a half a joint found in his car!)

There was a second conference at UCSC in 1981 that paved the way for the integration of the experimental and spiritual work that laid the foundation for Pollan’s recent successful explorations. This foundation was laid by many people in the Bay Area who maintained the unwavering belief that there is a different lifestyle that can bring love, peace, and nutriment to our planet and its peoples. It continues to this day. Thank you, Michael, for being a current champion and taking us another step forward toward the fifth generation.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 6 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you would be wise to ruffle and revise your relationship with time. It would be healthy for you to gain more freedom from its relentless demands; to declare at least some independence from its oppressive hold on you; to elude its push to impinge on every move you make. Here’s a ritual you could do to spur your imagination: Smash a timepiece. I mean that literally. Go to the store and invest $20 in a hammer and alarm clock. Take them home and vociferously apply the hammer to the clock in a holy gesture of pure, righteous chastisement. Who knows? This bold protest might trigger some novel ideas about how to slip free from the imperatives of time for a few stolen hours each week.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Promise me that you won’t disrespect, demean, or neglect your precious body in the coming weeks.

Promise me that you will treat it with tender compassion and thoughtful nurturing. Give it deep breaths, pure water, healthy and delicious food, sweet sleep, enjoyable exercise, and reverential sex. Such veneration is always recommended, of course—but it’s especially crucial for you to attend to this noble work during the next four weeks. It’s time to renew and revitalize your commitment to your soft warm animal self.

“Dear Dr. Astrology: In the past four weeks, I have washed all 18 of my underpants four times. Without exception, every single time, each item has been insideout at the end of the wash cycle. This is despite the fact that most of them were not inside-out when I threw them in the machine. Does this weird anomaly have some astrological explanation? - Upside-Down Scorpio.” Dear Scorpio: Yes. Lately your planetary omens have been rife with reversals, inversions, flip-flops, and switchovers.

Your underpants situation is a symptom of the bigger forces at work. Don’t worry about those bigger forces, though. Ultimately, I think you’ll be glad for the renewal that will emerge from the various turnabouts.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

Between 1967 and 1973, NASA used a series of Saturn V rockets to deliver six groups of American astronauts to the moon. Each massive vehicle weighed about 6.5 million pounds. The initial thrust required to launch it was tremendous. Gas mileage was seven inches per gallon. Only later, after the rocket flew farther from the grip of Earth’s gravity, did the fuel economy improve. I’m guessing that in your own life, you may be experiencing something like that seven-inches-per-gallon feeling right now. But I guarantee you won’t have to push this hard for long.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Mars, the planet that rules animal vitality and instinctual enthusiasm, will cruise through your astrological House of Synergy for much of the next five months. That’s why I’ve concluded that between now and mid-November, your experience of togetherness can and should reach peak expression. Do you want intimacy to be robust and intense, sometimes bordering on rambunctious? It will be if you want it to be. Adventures in collaboration will invite you to wander out to the frontiers of your understanding about how relationships work best.

You’re in a phase when you’ll be smart to bring more light and liveliness into the work you do. To spur your efforts, I offer the following provocations. 1. “When I work, I relax. Doing nothing makes me tired.” - Pablo Picasso. 2. “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” - Ann Landers. 3. “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” - Aristotle. 4. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” Scott Adams. 5. “Working hard and working smart can sometimes be two different things.” - Byron Dorgan. 6.

“Don’t stay in bed unless you can make money in bed.”

- George Burns. 7. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.” - Mark Twain.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

As I sat down to meditate on your horoscope, a hummingbird flew in my open window. Scrambling to herd it safely back outside, I knocked my iPad on the floor, which somehow caused it to open a link to a Youtube video of an episode of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune where the hostess Vanna White, garbed in a long red gown, revealed that the word puzzle solution was USE IT OR LOSE IT. So what does this omen mean?

Maybe this: You’ll be surprised by a more-or-less delightful interruption that compels you to realize that you had better start taking greater advantage of a gift or blessing that you’ve been lazy or slow to capitalize on.

GEMINI May21–June20

endings to sad stories, and for the emergence of efficient solutions to convoluted riddles. I bet it will also be a phase when you can perform some seemingly clumsy magic that dispatches a batch of awkward karma.

Hooray! Hallelujah! Praise Goo! But now listen to my admonition, Libra: The coming weeks won’t be a good time to toss and turn in your bed all night long thinking about what you might have done differently in the month of May. Honor the past by letting it go.

Which astrological sign laughs hardest and longest and most frequently? I’m inclined to speculate that Sagittarius deserves the crown, with Leo and Gemini fighting it out for second place. But having said that, I suspect that in the coming weeks you Leos could rocket to the top of the chart, vaulting past Sagittarians. Not only are you likely to find everything funnier than usual; I bet you will also encounter more than the usual number of authentically humorous and amusing experiences. (P.S.: I hope you won’t cling too fiercely to your dignity, because that would interfere with your full enjoyment of the cathartic cosmic gift.)

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, a little extra egotism might be healthy for you right now.

A surge of super-confidence would boost your competence; it would also fine-tune your physical well-being and attract an opportunity that might not otherwise find its way to you. So, for example, consider the possibility of renting a billboard on which you put a giant photo of yourself with a tally of your accomplishments and a list of your demands. The cosmos and I won’t have any problem with you bragging more than usual or asking for more goodies than you’re usually content with.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 The coming weeks will be a favorable time for happy

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” said poet and short-story writer Raymond Carver. “But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” My reading of the astrological omens suggests that the current phase of your cycle is one of those intervals, Aquarius. In light of this grace period, I have some advice for you, courtesy of author Anne Lamott: “You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes. You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.” Surrender to the sweetness, dear Aquarius.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Between you and your potential new power spot is an imaginary ten-foot-high, electrified fence. It’s composed of your least charitable thoughts about yourself and your rigid beliefs about what’s impossible for you to accomplish. Is there anything you can do to deal with this inconvenient illusion? I recommend that you call on Mickey Rat, the cartoon superhero in your dreams who knows the difference between destructive destruction and creative destruction. Maybe as he demonstrates how enjoyable it could be to tear down the fence, you’ll be inspired to join in the fun.

GUILT TRIPPING The city of Santa Cruz is currently considering where to put the next homeless camp, after River Street. At the Council meeting last Tuesday, after the public expressed passionate opposition to each of the sites under consideration, Councilwoman Cynthia Chase said that there would be opposition to any site. In other words, a camp is going somewhere—public be damned.

I am part of the opposition to the Soquel Park and Ride site. Why would I not want a homeless camp near my house? Surely you have heard the arguments already.

So where should a homeless camp go?

For me to propose another site would be to accept the city’s premise that there must be a homeless camp, and to say that someone else’s neighborhood is less worthy of protection than my own.

Instead, I invite every resident to fearlessly and enthusiastically stand up for their own neighborhood. If you don’t, then who will? It is time that we all stand up to the guilt-tripping and intimidation from local government on the homeless issue. Enough is enough.

NEWS READING INTO IT From Felton to downtown Santa Cruz, where the library bond money’s going

BY MALCOLM TERENCE

APP ON Electric scooters are available for rent in San Jose and other cities, from companies like Lime, based in San Mateo.

The app-based rides have been met with exuberance, confusion, and a range of other emotions.

Hard to Handle

As Santa Cruz’s bike-share gains momentum, other cities grapple with rise of electric scooters BY LAUREN HEPLER

J

oape Pela isn’t your average lanky tech bro. Sure, the 30-year-old East Palo Alto native lives in downtown San Jose and works as a payment analyst at local startup Finxera. But the former University of Utah football player’s 6-foot-3, 320-pound stature made him wary of one trend quickly gaining traction with his startup brethren: electric scooters.

“I was surprised. They have some jump,” Pela says of the devices that started to appear on San Jose streets this past February. “It felt pretty good, having the wind blow through my hair and all that.”

The rental scooters represent the

latest trend in a sharing economy that’s changing the world of transportation.

The city of Santa Cruz’s bike share system has seen more than 5,100 trips since the program’s unofficial launch on May 7. The pedal-assist electric Jump bikes allow riders to find, reserve and pay for them, all through an app on their phones. The bikes are $1 for the first 15 minutes and 7 cents for every minute after that, although $30 monthly plans are also available.

Over the hill, meanwhile, cities like San Jose have zipped fullthrottle into the next frontier.

And Pela is one of many San Jose

residents, commuters and business owners navigating the sudden emergence of hundreds of scooters available through two deep-pocketed app providers. San Mateo startup Lime has raised $132 million to offer on-demand shared bikes and scooters in San Jose and more than 50 other cities nationwide. Bird, a startup based in Santa Monica, is backed by $115 million and focused solely on e-scooters.

The construction project set to begin in Felton this summer isn’t your grandpa’s library building. There will be a park, a nature classroom, a cozy fireplace area, and plenty of high-tech amenities, including digital charging stations—all blended with an extensive book collection into a community center for the entire San Lorenzo Valley. In renderings, it almost resembles a ski lodge more than a hub for reading.

Just a few steps from the library’s patio, the park will feature native plants, interpretive displays, accessible paths, benches, natural play areas for children to climb about, and even a small stage.

“The emphasis is on environmental consciousness—opportunities for programs inside and outside. It’s going to be bigger, brighter and modern,” says Michelle Mosher, an organizer for the Felton library project. “We want it to appeal to people of all ages.”

Landscape architects who are designing the outdoor portion will share the plans with the public on Thursday, June 14, at 6 p.m. at Felton Community Hall, located at 6191 Hwy. 9. Library director Susan Nemitz says linking of indoor and outdoor space is a common feature of modern libraries.

Betsy Lynberg, the county’s capital projects manager, says $10 million from a $67 million 2016 bond measure is being spent on Felton’s new building, including furnishings and public art.

The Capitola Library is also starting over from scratch, having shut down last month, and the next facility will double down with a new play area and state-ofthe-art technology.

Although demand for print books from libraries has declined in recent years, Nemitz says demand for technology grew 50 percent in the last year. People come into libraries when they need to fill out a job application, tax forms and financial aid paperwork.

The library bond measure, which got 70 percent voter support two years ago, is funding improvements to eight other county libraries as well, with cash >14

helmet. Bird also requires users to scan a valid driver’s license. From there, users who pay a flat $1 fee, plus 15 cents per minute, can use the app’s map feature to find an available scooter and take a picture of a QR code to unlock the device.

The scooters, controlled by a simple hand throttle and brake, can reach a speed of 15 mph and hold a charge that lasts up to 18 miles. In San Jose, which lacks quick transit options, the scooters alternately attract praise from loyal users, ire for clogging public sidewalks, skepticism about safety, and criticism as a perceived harbinger of gentrification—controversies that also surround sharing economy services such as Uber, Lyft and other programs.

Claire Fliesler, a Santa Cruz transportation planner, says that Surf City has no plans to pursue a scooter system at this point—as leaders have their hands full trying to make bike share as robust as possible—but she adds that local officials have been following the issues as they unfold in other cities.

THROTTLE BEHAVIOUR The trick with scooters: They’re just obscure enough to make them tough to regulate.

“There was no coordinated strategy for introducing the scooters to the street,” says Colin Heyne, a spokesman for the San Jose Department of Transportation. “Not surprisingly, we didn’t have a policy around e-scooters.”

Concerns the city has heard mostly include illegally riding scooters down sidewalks, users discarding scooters on lawns at the end of the ride and riders not wearing helmets. As a result, scooters have emerged as the latest uniquely 21st century question of where a company’s responsibility ends and a city’s or consumer’s begins.

“Riders are required to obey the law, but enforcement is difficult for us,” says Sam Dreiman, Lime’s director of strategic development for California. “In some ways, it’s an even bigger question of how much we can enforce or should enforce.”

If companies try to dodge enforcement responsibility, though, it’s not clear whether the city is ready to step in.

Both San Jose and the state are hashing out first-ever attempts at regulations designed specifically for e-scooters, but San Jose’s aren’t due until September.

GRAY AREA Take a trip to Diridon Station during rush hour, and it’s clear that commuters in Silicon Valley are already seeking alternatives to the region’s decades-old mass transit systems. From foldable bikes and electric skateboards to the occasional pair of inline skates or old-fashioned Razor scooters, long commutes and already-overflowing BART and Caltrain cars have pushed the noncar-dependent to get creative.

In some ways, Silicon Valley is late to the party that planning wonks refer to as “multimodal urban mobility,” where future transportation systems stand to encompass more options than 20th-century cars, trains and buses.

Fast-growing cities in China, for example, have already spent the better part of the last decade trying to figure out how electric scooters of varying sizes can coexist with electric bicycles and other car alternatives.

Automakers like Hyundai and Toyota have unveiled their own high-tech scooter prototypes in recent years, and Lyft in late May signaled an interest in rolling out e-scooters in San Francisco.

“It’s just very costly to use cars to make short trips, especially in cities,” says Ratna Amin, transportation policy director for Bay Area urban planning think tank SPUR. The rise of scooters and other smaller-scale alternatives, she says, “require us to now think differently about our streets.”

For the past several months, scooters have been a touchy subject in San Francisco, where a temporary ban on them went into effect on Monday, June 4, as the City by the Bay gets a permitting program in order.

E-scooters’ more recent arrival in San Jose has been marked by a wide range of reactions.

“Bros are racing app rental

electric scooters outside my apartment,” San Jose Sharks digital media coordinator Ann Frazier wrote on Twitter. “This is now normal everyday life in downtown.”

Dueling opinions between people who either love or love to make fun of the service surfaced almost as fast as the scooters themselves.

In San Jose, Lime scooters were the first to appear, in late winter, Heyne says.

Soon after came Bird, which opted for same-day deployment instead of advance conversations with the cities.

“That was shorter notice,” Heyne says. “As in, we got a call that they were going to be dropped off on our streets.”

Kenneth Baer, a Washington, D.C.based consultant for Bird, declined to detail the company’s approach to entering San Jose or other new cities. “Obviously, we have a deliberative process,” he says. “I’m not going to get into the details.”

Despite the unconventional rollout, demand has ramped up quickly for the scooters, sometimes making it difficult to find an available device near hubs like Diridon Station.

In the meantime, though, business operators like Cafe Stritch’s Maxwell Borkenhagen say the largely unregulated devices can cause problems day to day.

SCOOTER COPS Spending months crafting detailed policies just for e-scooters might seem a bit excessive. At stake, though, are much bigger questions about who’s responsible for the lessdesirable side effects of the sharing economy. As venture capital-backed startups seek rapid growth with minimal costs, that tension can come to a head in multiple ways.

First and foremost, Lime contends, e-scooter companies are providing cities with a publicly accessible transportation option at no direct cost to the city. All they ask is that municipalities pay for necessary taxpayer-funded elements, like bike lanes and road maintenance.

“We provide the subsidy-free mobility,” Lime spokeswoman Emma Green says. “Cities provide >15

ADDED AMENITIES In some ways, Felton’s next library center—with its new fireplace and digital charging stations—feels more like a ski lodge than a hub for reading.

READING INTO IT <11 going to branches in Santa Cruz, Aptos, Live Oak, Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek, and La Selva Beach—replacing failing roofs, outdated bathrooms, electrical systems, and structurally damaged areas.

The Capitola Library will go to bid by mid-summer, but Steve Jesberg, Capitola’s director of public works, warns that there is a high demand for contractors and subcontractors this year so it may make for a tight market.

Jesberg says the new building will

replace temporary structures that have been in place for 14 years. Nearby libraries at Aptos and Live Oak will add hours while Capitola awaits its new facility. A book drop will be added at Jade Street Community Park and storytelling programs for preschoolers will be available at Porter Memorial Library in Soquel.

Nemitz says the plans for replacing the main library in downtown Santa Cruz have been complicated because the bond measure provided only $23 million, but estimates for a new structure are $38 million. She says the $67 million total

offered to the voters in the bond measure “was based on what the public would pass—not what it would take to bring it into the 21st Century.”

A special library committee looked at future possibilities for the library, including the idea of integrating the new library into plans for a long-discussed parking structure that would replace existing streetlevel parking on the corner of Cathcart and Cedar streets downtown. It would spare library officials from having to pay for the structure’s foundation, but sustainable transportation activists are fighting the

concept, leery to incentivize future car trips.

The Santa Cruz City Council will study the issues when it looks at downtown parking issues in a meeting that’s tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 19.

This past January, the Downtown Library Advisory Committee recommended a full remodel with a new parking structure, as it literally checks 13 of 15 boxes the group looked at, including one for cost.

The committee’s next-favorite idea was a full renovation of the current facility, which checks three fewer boxes and comes in at an estimated $11.1 million more.

the infrastructure.”

But what happens if riders violate the company’s terms of service, or laws governing riding on sidewalks, parking scooters in the right of way or not wearing a helmet?

State lawmakers are just now writing policies to govern bike lane usage for scooters. In San Jose, using traffic cops to police such low-level nuisances isn’t practical, Heyne says.

“We are woefully understaffed for traffic enforcement,” Heyne says, noting one recent tally counted just a half dozen citywide traffic cops.

Companies, too, are eager to avoid costly, on-the-ground scooter patrols.

“That’s a big one, trying to hold people accountable for how they park,” Dreiman says. He noted that Lime now requires users to submit a photo of how they park their scooter in order for the trip to officially end and billing to stop. The company is also considering using riders to police each other, submitting photos of other riders’ parking fails, or offering yet-undefined “incentives” for good behavior, he says.

Still, safety is another moving target. In San Francisco, a Twitter account registered to Facebook product manager Dan Grover in mid-May posted a screenshot from the Lime app alongside an X-ray showing a broken wrist.

“Took a spill as they don’t handle uneven pavement well,” Grover tweeted. “Aside from broken bones, UX was good.”

Though Lime keeps records of user-reported injuries, not all get reported. Green says the company carries business insurance mandated by each city it operates in. Lime has also started a helmet distribution center in San Francisco or done occasional helmet giveaways. Bird has sent some 22,000 helmets to users who request them, Baer says.

In San Jose, Heyne says helmets and other safety rules will likely be included in the city’s September policy recommendations.

“It’s like bring your own seat belts if you’re renting a car,” Heyne says. Still, he added, injuries are also difficult for the city to track: “Nobody calls the DOT if they get into a scooter crash.”

Santa Cruz

Goes Dark

Susie Bright’s ‘Santa Cruz Noir’ anthology sets its twisted crime tales throughout Santa Cruz County By Steve Palopoli

JUNE 6-12, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

he manuscript arrived at Susie Bright’s house in Santa Cruz looking like any other package. The edges of the thick manila envelope in which it came seemed far more dirty and beat up than they should have been after a couple of days of travelling up the postal route from Malibu.

Maybe it had slid around the floor of the filthiest mail truck in California, or maybe it had been re-used by the sender after having been stacked in a dusty, damp corner of the garage for a long time. An eternity.

Susie was used to getting some very strange mail. After all, it was her sex advice column in On Our Backs—the first women-run erotica magazine, which she helped to found back in the ’80s—that had debuted her alter ego as “Susie Sexpert,” under the banner of which she would go on to become one of the world’s most progressive, provocative and controversial thinkers on sexuality in books like Susie Sexpert’s Sexual State of the Union, Susie Sexpert’s Lesbian Sex World and Big Sex, Little Death: A Memoir. As the editor of

more than 30 anthologies, including the popular Herotica series, she had received hundreds of manuscripts just like this one.

But maybe not entirely like this one. As she pulled out the typewritten pages and started to read through them, something about it felt different. Darker. And too close to home.

Susie finished reading. “Oh my god,” she thought. “What a psycho.”

And then she smiled, rubbing her forefinger absent-mindedly over her lips.

“It’s perfect.”

INTO THE BLACK OK, maybe it didn’t unfold with quite so much pulp-fiction melodrama, but that is exactly what Bright remembers thinking the first time she read “Buck Low,” the short story by Tommy Moore that opens Bright’s new fiction anthology Santa Cruz Noir, the latest in a long line of city-specific noir collections from Akashic Books. Though longtime locals will recognize the names of

many of the authors who penned the 20 original stories in it—from Lee Quarnstrom to Peggy Townsend to Elizabeth McKenzie to GT’s own Wallace Baine—Moore is one of four writers in the book who had never been published before, and his debut effort about a murderous druggie lowlife on Santa Cruz’s North Coast blew Bright away.

“That was a gift,” says Bright. “In sails almost exactly what you see here. The first draft is so close to this.”

Bright’s associate editor Willow Pennell, who grew up in Santa Cruz, couldn’t believe how creepily realistic the story’s narrator seemed.

“That was one of the first stories to come in. And I was like, ‘I know that guy. I went to high school with that guy.’ Not because he was a jerk, but just the way he talks about the town. It’s local. He’s from here. Like force-feeding crabs into anemones [a habit the narrator discusses in the story]—that’s a kid that grew up with tide pools.”

Santa Cruz Noir is teeming with other local details that will make

readers do similar double takes. It’s divided into three sections, the first of which is called “Murder Capital of the World,” as if to put any question of when Santa Cruz’s notorious serial killer lore is going to come up immediately to rest.

Each story is set in a different neighborhood in Santa Cruz County—and not just the more obvious settings like Seabright, Mission Street, UCSC, Pacific Avenue, Aptos and Watsonville, but also Bear Creek Road, Grant Park, Soquel Hills, the Circles, Seacliff and Mount Hermon, among others.

“I knew what would be more intriguing would be getting neighborhoods that not everybody knows about,” says Bright. “I explained to the publisher that this is not going to be Santa Cruz city limits, this is going to be countywide. The fact that the book begins in Davenport and works all the way down to San Juan Road on the borderline is extremely pleasing to me.”

She also found endless amusement in the way these dark and twisted crime stories subvert the shiny, happy conventional narrative of Santa Cruz.

“I probably laughed a little bit too much,” she admits. “Partly it’s because it’s tweaking the tourist information brochure. It’s not like, ‘Vacation in Santa Cruz!’ So I have to have my evil laughter. But also it’s

just that these characters are real.

We’ve met them; we know them.

They’re our families, they’re our friends and neighbors. And one way this is an interesting looking glass is that I think Santa Cruz is so often portrayed as a quirky utopia. Who’s seen beyond that? I’m just trying to think of who’s written about Santa Cruz in more sensitive or vulnerable or exposing ways. You don’t see it.”

Bright credits Ariel Gore—who wrote the book’s second story, “Whatever Happened to Skinny Jane?”—with giving her the best summary definition of noir as a genre: “Often the narrator has her own agenda. The darker twist. Moral ambiguity. More cynicism. More fatalism. And the femme fatale, even if she’s Mother Nature herself.”

At the narrative core of Gore’s story is the most widely known element of Santa Cruz’s dark side, possibly the very person who first made people realize Santa Cruz had a dark side at all: “Co-Ed Killer” Edmund Kemper. For a figure so famous, Gore wanted to find a new and different approach.

“My mom worked on Death Row in San Quentin,” says Gore, “so she was haunted by serial killers. I wanted to look at it that way—how people were haunted by [what Kemper did]— rather than tell his story.”

The short story focuses on a modern-day couple who become obsessed with Kemper, and takes

some crazy twists and turns. Gore wasn’t similarly obsessed with his legend, but she was affected by Santa Cruz’s reputation as a magnet for serial killers—although maybe not as affected as she should have been.

“In the ’80s when I lived in Santa Cruz, we still hitchhiked, even though those guys had ruined it. We were stupid teenagers,” she says.

Gore hadn’t written anything in a noir style until she contributed a piece to the Portland Noir collection.

But she admits she’s gotten hooked on it, and is now editing a Santa Fe Noir book. For Santa Cruz Noir, she told Bright she only had one stipulation.

“I told her, ‘I’ve got dibs on the Jury Room,’ she says, referring to Kemper’s famous hangout spot of choice. “That was my only thing.”

SECRET HISTORIES The Jury Room does play a pivotal role in Gore’s story, and she also drops references to Food Not Bombs serving meals downtown and Halloween at the Catalyst, among other things. Santa Cruz Noir features a lot of local touchstones like these—every dot from Santa Cruz’s designation as a “nuclear-free zone” to sign dancers on Mission Street gets connected over the course of the collection.

Some bits of local history that come up are downright startling.

How many people know, for instance, that Santa Cruz County was the center of cockfighting culture in the 1950s? That fact is a central point in Lou Mathews’ “Crab Dinners,” one of the anthology’s short stories that most closely

echoes the classic noir fiction of authors like Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain. In Mathews’ story, a mysterious woman walks into a detective agency in Seascape looking for help locating her father, a popular Chinese chef named Leonard Wong who spends most of his time outside the kitchen gambling on cockfights.

Mathews—who teaches fiction writing and lit for the UCLA Extension Writer’s Program and is the author of the acclaimed novel L.A. Breakdown, about SoCal street racing in the ’60s—graduated from UCSC in 1973.

He lived in Santa Cruz for more than a decade, and wrote for papers here like Sundaze and Good Times (which is referenced in “Crab Dinners”). He says the Chef Wong character is based on a real Santa Cruz County celebrity chef, Francis Tong.

“He introduced Szechwan cuisine to Santa Cruz County,” says Mathews from his home in Los Angeles. “He was a talented guy, but he was also an inveterate gambler.”

The closing story of the collection, “It Follows Until It Leads” by Dillon Kaiser, tells the story of a Mexican immigrant who got caught up in the drug trade in his native country, and—like so many a noir protagonist—foolishly thinks he can leave his violent history behind him.

He builds a new life in Watsonville, but when he discovers that his son is keeping a gun to style himself as a tough guy at Watsonville High, things begin to unravel.

The story culminates in a gutwrenching conclusion, but besides its power as a piece of hardboiled crime fiction, it also sheds some light on how the influence of the drug cartels

Kaiser is another one of Santa Cruz Noir’s first-time authors. At the time that Bright was accepting submissions, he was working at Bookshop Santa Cruz, and was encouraged by his fellow staffers and writers Richard M. Lange and Aric Sleeper to enter his story. He says working with Bright as an editor was a revelation; though she worked with him on many changes, she had a way of understanding his vision and never compromising it.

“I never felt like anything was being taken away from the essence of what I wanted it to be,” he says.

For the fiction veterans, Bright simply drew on her long lists of contacts.

“She knows everybody,” says Pennell. “She knows people with lots of other contacts. She just put out the Bat Signal.”

She connected with Mathews, for instance, through their mutual friend Colin Wilson, author of the 1960s novel-slash-anthropologyclass phenomenon Crazy February.

Mathews, in turn, introduced her to Moore, a Santa Cruz expat now doing film and video production out of Malibu who had literally no footprint in the lit world.

“They said, ‘We really like your story, but we can’t find anything about you online,’” remembers Moore. “And that’s because there isn’t anything.”

Still, Bright found him, and as he worked with her on “Buck Low,” he was impressed by the fact that whenever he would want to take something out, thinking it might be too extreme, she would be the one who’d want to keep it in.

In general, Bright says, one of the hardest things about working with authors was getting them to go as dark as the genre required.

“They’re all people who have read a lot and watched a lot of blackand-white noir movies. So it wasn’t like I had to say ‘this is n-o-i-r,’ it wasn’t that basic. But thinking about existential loss, a lack of neat conclusions, the fear and mistrust, the femme fatale, it ain’t gonna end cute. That kind of thing,” she says.

“There were a couple of times when we got a manuscript and I said, ‘Oh you’re so sweet, it ends happily! No. Go back and break my heart.’ And they were like, ‘OK.’ Then they’d come back and we’d be like, ‘Whoa.’ I mean, it was there all along.”

“I think Jill Wolfson’s a good example,” Pennell says. “Because she writes teen books, and she just wasn’t ready for anybody to die.

Somebody had to die. And she sure ran with that.”

Other established authors were happy to oblige, like Vinny Hanson, a celebrated author in the “cozy mystery” genre known for its gentle and lighthearted approach to crime.

“I was saying to Vinny, ‘Are you ready for everything to go very bad, and for your protagonist to have no moral compass?’” remembers Bright. “And she was like ‘Oh, yes.’”

A TIME FOR NOIR “Many people have asked me: do you think noir fits a certain moment that we’re in?’” says Bright. “And

SANTA CRUZ GOES DARK I’m like, ‘Well, I’ve never been in a moment where it didn’t feel right.”

Certainly, though, there is plenty of relevance in this time of fakenews hysteria and reactionary backlash for a genre that features criminal antiheroes and no end of moral ambiguity. Bright sees something deeper, too, at a local level.

“The famous noir films like The Big Sleep came post-World War II, but the literature came out of the Depression, and out of the sense of ‘nobody gives a damn about you, and nobody is coming to rescue you,’” she says. “The class conflict in Santa Cruz County today, which explodes into ethnic and community identities and localism identities of all kinds, is as strong today as it ever was, and so is that sense of ‘does anybody give a damn about these people?’ The working class voice of Santa Cruz in our book is something that is undeniable.”

All of the heavy themes aside, though, the book is escapist crime fiction at heart, and a lot of fun for fans of the genre. It’s clear that the people behind it enjoyed making

it that way—especially Bright, who has a charming and hilarious enthusiasm for even the most obscure elements of putting together this collection.

“I love chapter ordering. It’s like, ‘now let the melody unfold.’ I feel like you want to be bookended by two killer stories, pardon the pun, and in between you want these different emotional peaks, humor, being knocked sideways.

The only part that was hard was the suspense of whether we’d get all our neighborhoods covered, and then having too many good stories, and the pain of telling somebody who’s just fabulous ‘we couldn’t include you this time.’ I’ll never get over that,” she says.

The stories she wanted to publish but didn’t have room for could fill an entire second volume, says Bright.

“I anticipate that in a small town like this, people who don’t see their story in here will be like, ‘Did you have to fuck Susie Bright to be in here?’ No … unfortunately! There were no sexual favors exchanged,” she says. “Maybe I’ll do a book like that in the future.”

‘SANTA CRUZ NOIR’ EVENTS There will be a number of events over the next few months around Santa Cruz Noir.

“Ask any reporter who’s worked long enough,” begins one passage, “and they can tell you about the slideshow in their head: The dead man whose arms have been chainsawed from his body, the

skeletal remains of an eight-year-old girl who’d been chained in a closet and starved to death by her mentally ill mother. The body of a teenager in an alley with a needle in her arm.”

promising career. Aloa’s selfloathing is stronger than any sense of recrimination from the outside world, so she lives a ghostly life with the only family she has, a collection of friendly misfits at a North Beach dive bar near her home.

Aloa gets a chance to get back in the journalism game when she receives a call from an old flame, a wealthy tech entrepreneur running a respected news website. The story is an investigation into the death of a young woman, a trained athlete whose body was found in the Nevada desert and ruled a suicide. Aloa is not eager to take on the assignment, but eventually, with the help of a motley tribe of conspiracy-addled hippie burnouts called the Brain Farm, she jumps into a mystery that eventually reaches halfway around the world and into the highest levels of corporate misbehavior.

The North American publication of See Her Run got a boost from promising early numbers in Australia and the U.K. and a glowing review in Kirkus. (The book is also available in audio.) Townsend, who now works as a writer for UCSC, says that she’s just finished her second installment in the Aloa Snow series, to be published in June 2019. And she’s set for teaching a workshop in detective fiction at this summer’s Catamaran Writing Conference in Pebble Beach.

As for the permeable membrane that separates nonfiction from fiction, Townsend is not ready to declare she’s switched teams. “I like them both,” she says. “I just like figuring out human stories and what makes people tick.”

The current chaos in the San Francisco housing market is a major subtheme in See Her Run, and Townsend promises that she’ll continue to make the city a central preoccupation in the series. “I have an idea for book three already,” she says. “And I still love [writing about] San Francisco. There’s just so much history to discover. Even now, the parallels with times past are really striking. It has a lot of possibilities I’ll continue to explore.” After a pause, she laughs. “Unless I can find a way to set it in Hawaii.”

prominent names in Santa Cruz journalism for her 30-plus years as a reporter and editor for the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Until she left the newspaper in 2007, she was the Sentinel’s most illuminating feature writer, specializing in hard-nosed but empathetic portraits of people in the throes of struggle, be it homelessness, illness or tragedy.

But before all that, back in the ’70s and ’80s, she covered the cops/ court beat, a job that’s not for the emotionally fragile.

“I covered murders and murder trials,” says Townsend in the Pleasure Point home she shares with her husband, longtime former Aptos High head football coach Jamie Townsend. “In that job, I became really familiar with how detectives work, how police work, what happens in an autopsy, what a medical examiner would look for.

I’ve seen things that as a civilian I would turn away from in horror.

But as a reporter, you look at it in a whole different way—clinical, studied, looking for details.”

All those chops have been brought to bear in Townsend’s first foray into fiction. By coincidence, the publication this month of See Her Run comes at the same time as the new anthology Santa Cruz Noir (see cover story, page 16), which includes Townsend on its roster of contributing writers.

Her Santa Cruz Noir story, titled First Peak, is an eerie, quasi-supernatural take on the housing pressures taking place in Townsend’s neighborhood. But in See Her Run, Townsend wanted to get away from Santa Cruz. The book is set in tech-happy modern-day San Francisco.

“It’s almost uber-California,” she says of San Francisco. “There’s just so much history, so much creativity, so much change, especially now.

It mirrors the whole state and the frontier idea, being on the edge of so many things.”

The novel’s protagonist is Aloa Snow, a haunted former newspaper reporter trying to outrun both an eating disorder and a crippling sense of shame from being caught fabricating sources in a story, a mistake that torpedoed a once

OH BROTHER, WHERE AREN’T THOU? The Mattson 2 play two nights in Santa Cruz this week.

Twin Powered JUNE 6-12, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The bond between Mattson 2 duo is biological

26

J

onathan Mattson started providing a beat for his twin brother Jared about eight weeks after conception, a steady pulse that in one form or another has propelled their relationship onto international stages.

It wasn’t until their mid-teens that they introduced the rest of the world to their preternatural rhythmic bond, and by that time Jonathan had expanded his rhythmic arsenal from the cardiac to the trap set, accompanying his brother’s turbo-charged electric guitar. What began in utero has evolved into Southern California’s avant-surf-jazz combo known as the Mattson 2, a mighty duo that generates a shimmering multilayered sound with Jared’s looped bass lines and chiming riffs.

The Mattsons bring their dynamic combo to Michael’s On Main on Thursday, and return Friday with Oakland guitar great Calvin Keys, an acid jazz patriarch esteemed by jazz legends like Pat Metheny and Ahmad Jamal.

The identical twin brothers’ musical connection flows from “sharing the same DNA strands,” says Jared, speaking by phone from the family’s San Diego County ranch. “It’s the way we were designed and brought into this world. We communicate with this heightened level and use our twinship to our advantage.”

Nature may have given them a boost in non-verbal communication, but the brothers have also been nurtured by some remarkable musicians. While earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music

BY ANDREW GILBERT

from UC San Diego and UC Irvine, respectively, they studied with heavyweights like inventive trombonist/composer Michael Dessen, Silk Road Ensemble shakuhachi maestro Kojiro Umezaki, and flutist and Afro-futurist visionary Nicole Mitchell.

“We had all these amazing resources to dive into,” Mattson says. “Nicole Mitchell said, ‘What I do is very similar to what you could be doing, mixing the known and the unknown.’”

The brothers connected with Calvin Keys through his classic 1971 debut album Shawn-Neeq, which was reissued by Tompkins Square Records on vinyl in 2012. Though obsessed with the album, they didn’t realize that Keys was still very active on the Bay Area jazz scene

until visiting a cousin in the East Bay who happened to mention a regular jam session at Oakland’s now defunct 57th Street Gallery that the guitarist led for years.

This spring, the Mattson 2 spent several months on the road opening for the popular Thai-inflected psychedelic funk trio Khruangbin.

When the tour hit the Fillmore for two nights last month, the brothers invited Keys to come by and check them out.

Duly impressed, Keys readily agreed to join them in playing the music from Shawn-Neeq track for track.

“I like the energy they had, and they sure get a lot of music out of that duo,” says Keys, 75. “The drummer Jonathan is a monster. It’s going to be interesting to see how we come up with something. ShawnNeeq was written for my niece when she was like a week old, and we tried to capture the beauty of bringing a newborn baby into the household.”

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Keys spent most of the 1960s on the road playing with various organ combos on the Midwest chitlin circuit. A rising force on the L.A. jazz scene in the early 1970s when he connected with Black Jazz, Keys created a soul jazz touchstone marked by his warm tone and slinky phrasing.

Shortly after Shawn-Neeq’s release, Keys hit the road with Ray Charles on a Norman Granz-produced tour with the Count Basie Orchestra and the Oscar Peterson Trio. After two years with Charles, he honed his pianistic approach during a long stint in piano legend Ahmad Jamal’s quartet.

He’s still part of Jamal’s extended musical family, but Keys has thrived as a guitarist’s guitarist, serving as a mentor or beacon for searing players like Mimi Fox, Bruce Forman, and Pat Metheny, who dedicated the tune “Calvin’s Keys” to his fellow Midwesterner on the 2008 album Day Trip (Nonesuch). Keys is “the real deal,” Metheny told me in an interview several years ago, and now the Mattsons are taking their first step into his ravishing musical world.

The Mattson 2 perform at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday and 9 p.m. Friday at Michael’s On Main, 2591 S Main St., Soquel.

Tickets for each show are $25. 479-9777.

LOCAL BAND

SHADY REST “Did you ever watch Petticoat Junction?” Shady Rest lead singer Cheryl Rebottaro asks me. Anyone remotely familiar with the show will recognize the band’s name as a reference (as in, the Shady Rest Hotel), and they chose it because of the two founding members’ names.

The band originally started with Rebottaro and guitarist Joe Bac. The duo would play covers of the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Originally, they combined their first names, calling themselves “Cheryl Joe.” As new band members got enlisted, they gave them a “Joe” last name (Cheryl Joe, Pat Joe, Mary Joe), like on the show.

JUNE 6-12, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I don’t know how I got on this Petticoat Junction kick,” Bac says. “It was Cheryl Joe and the Shady Rest, then we felt bad that the rest of the people were the Shady Rest. So we dropped it. It’s just the Shady Rest.”

34

As more members joined, and the kinds of gigs they were offered changed, so did the song selection. Initially, leaning toward more obscure songs, they started to sprinkle in more hits so that more people would get up and dance. In many of the cases, they chose songs by female singers like Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin and Sheryl Crow, who have a timbre similar to Rebottaro’s.

“We had to bring in more recognizable things. Now we’re mixing it up,” Rebottaro says. I think we’re unique because we bring different sounds to the music. It’s the same classic stuff that people are hearing, but we spin it a little.” AARON CARNES INFO: 5 p.m. Friday, June 8. Michael’s on Main, 2591 S Main St., Soquel. Free.

NICKI BLUHM

THURSDAY 6/7 POST-PUNK

ICEAGE Danish post-punkers Iceage got their start a decade ago when the members were still in high school. In the past decade, the group has managed to insert something subtle into their mix of Birthday Party-meets-Bauhaus punk: gentleness. It sounds counter-intuitive, but the Danish rockers pound out guitar-driven songs with the delicacy of a flower falling slowly onto a bed of leaves. Without all of the aggression that normally comes from all-male bands baring their soul, the music catches you off guard in a spectacular way. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $20/door. 335-2800.

EXPERIMENTAL

YEEK L.A.’s Yeek has a video for his tune “I’m Not Ready” that’s jam-packed with a lot of culturally potent imagery—everything from aged video footage of kids skateboarding inside of an empty pool to him on stage flying solo with just a mic and working the crowd

into a frenzy.You also see shots of him rocking a guitar punk-rock style.

What the hell is this Yeek guy even doing? Let’s just say this video actually downplays the scatterbrain mass-attack of conflicting influences that is in his music. It’s lo-fi indie-pop, kind of rap, sort of R&B, a little bit of punk.

Whatever he’s doing, it’s catchy, and is catching on. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $14/door. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 6/8 AMERICANA

WILLY TEA TAYLOR Willy Tea Taylor comes through Santa Cruz a lot. He’s not exactly local, but comes from semi-nearby Oakdale— and Santa Cruz loves the kind of Americana-roots-heart-on-the-sleeve music he makes. Two things he’s known for are his epic beard, and his work as the frontman of Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit, which also rolls through town quite a bit. But to catch Willy Tea Taylor as a solo act is to see the singer in a much more intimate setting, and to get a more personal expression via his tender acoustic

side. There are some intensely emotional songs here that will move you to tears if you happen to be a human with a heartbeat. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

SATURDAY 6/9 ROCK

NICKI BLUHM For years, singer-songwriter Nicki Bluhm and her husband Tim Bluhm were partners in music and in life.

In 2015, however, the couple split up.

The pain, loneliness and grief of that experience are all over Bluhm’s new album, To Rise You Gotta Fall. Bluhm turned to music to get through her own hard times, and, in turn, she shares her experiences on the album, which was recorded at the legendary Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis. As she says in a trailer video for the record, “I’ve captured all those really intense emotions and put them into songs. If I can help someone else get through their pain, that’s my goal ... Music makes you feel less alone.” CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $22/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 6/11 JAZZ

BRIAN BLADE When Brian Blade released his first album with the Fellowship Band in 1998, the protean drummer occupied a singular space in American music—a swirling, grooving vortex that inexorably attracted artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell as well as powerhouse jazz improvisers like Joshua Redman, Kenny Garrett and Mark Turner. But it was joining saxophone legend Wayne Shorter’s all-star quartet in 2000 that lifted Blade into the jazz pantheon as one of the era’s definitive drummers. All the while he’s kept his love of folk and gospel music as the guiding force in the Fellowship, a passionately lyrical ensemble that released its fifth album last year, Body and Shadow (Blue Note).

Blade performs the album’s cast, featuring newcomer Dave Devine on

guitar, and founding members Jon Cowherd (piano and harmonium), Chris Thomas (bass), Myron Waldon (alto sax and clarinet) and Melvin Butler (tenor sax). ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50/adv, $36.75/door. 427-2227.

DEEP DARK WOODS An alt-country outfit from Saskatoon, the largest city in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, Deep Dark Woods is one of the best kept secrets in roots music. Led by frontman Ryan Boldt, the band gracefully merges gothic folk, Appalachian music traditions and rock. The resulting songs are spooky, sad and lovely tales of plagues, murder, prison, loss, death—you know, all the stuff that makes good roots music so compelling. Bridging traditional sounds from across North America with a style that appeals to contemporary music lovers, Deep Dark Woods is an under-appreciated gem of the roots scene.

Born and raised in Harlem, Smoke DZA is a product of ’80s and ’90s hip-hop living in the time of mumble rappers, and still delivering the solid beats and rhymes we deserve. Staying true to the classics of hip-hop that created the genre, he expands on new lyrical horizons and artists—collaborating with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Joey Bada$$ to create a sound that pushes towards the future while solidifying his roots in what made the music great.

In the 1970s, as rocksteady music made way for reggae, a music subgenre known as lovers rock was born. Popularized by artists like Ken Boothe, Johnny Nash and John Holt, lovers rock combined Chicago and Philly soul with the bass grooves of reggae. In the mid-’70s, Jamaicanborn Beres Hammond emerged as one of the rising stars of the genre, a soulful artist who captured international attention. Peaking in the 1990s, Hammond became one of the genre-defining voices of lovers rock, and remains a giant of Jamaican music. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

CRISIS OF FAITH Ethan Hawke stars in Paul Schrader’s ‘First Reformed.’

Protestant Revival JUNE 6-12, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Pastor seeks faith, purpose in despairing ‘First Reformed’ BY LISA JENSEN

40

I

n 1976, Paul Schrader wrote the incendiary script for Taxi Driver, about a troubled loner so disgruntled by the vice and corruption of modern life that he plots to stage a horrifying act of violence in protest. The state of the world has not improved much in the 42 years since then; we can now add the ongoing destruction of the planet to the list of humanity’s crimes—an issue Schrader now addresses through another troubled protagonist in his powerful new drama First Reformed.

Directing his own script, Schrader crafts a slow-building drama of despair, loss, and attempted

redemption. At its center is a conflicted Protestant pastor whose tragic past and bleak present lead him to question his faith and his own purpose. Ethan Hawke plays the part with the desperate selfcontrol of someone who knows he’s teetering on the edge of the abyss.

All the elements are in place as Schrader’s dark gears of story and sensibility grind toward what seems to be their inevitable climax. It’s not until the last few frames that the movie goes a little off the rails.

The story revolves around a small First Reformed church in woodsy upstate New York, established in 1767. It’s now mostly a quaint, Dutch

Colonial tourist attraction (once a stop on the Underground Railroad, shepherding runaway slaves to freedom), with a tiny congregation ministered to by its pastor, Rev. Toller (Hawke). The plumbing leaks and the organ doesn’t work; all the action (and the funding) is at the flashy, modern Abundant Life church down the road, the organization that now also operates First Reformed.

As plans are underway for the little church’s 250th anniversary, Rev. Toller starts writing a diary in longhand at night, fueled by bottle after bottle of hooch. This provides a voice-over narration to his daily activities, as well as a glimpse of

his tragic past—losing his only son in Afghanistan, and the subsequent break-up of his marriage. Toller is having crisis of faith, feeling he’s a fraud in his profession. “If only I could pray,” he says.

Toller’s already shaky grasp on his duties is further challenged by Mary (Amanda Seyfried), a young parishioner whose eco-activist husband, Michael (Philip Ettinger) has just been released from jail.

Mary is pregnant, but Michael doesn’t want to bring a child into a world with what he considers such a short expiration date. Michael pleads his case with a series of alarming statistics and videos, which only adds to Toller’s sense of despair.

The nature of their conversation shifts to the question, “Can God ever forgive us?” for destroying His creation. The jolly, convivial pastor from Abundant Life (Cedric Kyle)—Toller’s opposite in every way—tells him that God “wants our obedience. Maybe destroying the Earth is God’s plan.” The industrial tycoon whose corporation owns the churches turns out to be one of the most venal polluters.

Early on, Toller tells Michael “Courage is the answer to despair.”

Toller is heading for some kind of breaking point, and Schrader keeps us on edge as to what form the pastor’s “courage” will take. And a sort of courageous act (although not the one we’re expecting) does conclude the movie. But while it works as metaphor, the practical logistics of these last few moments are so skewed, the movie loses focus when it most needs it.

Schrader’s filmmaking is moody and atmospheric—small figures under vast, mottled grey skies; the silent, empty rooms, devoid of furniture, in Toller’s house, outside the shadowy, candlelit room where he writes and drinks away his nights. Portentous musical chords signal every emotional shift, ever deeper and darker as we head toward the finale. The effect is so rich and haunting overall, you might be tempted to forgive the poorly realized ending.

FIRST REFORMED **1/2 (out of four) With Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, and Cedric Kyle. Written and directed by Paul Schrader. An A24 release. Rated R. 117 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK HEREDITARY It’s being called the scariest film of the year, and it stars … your mama! Well, not yours, exactly, unless you are Toni Collette. But like Get Out, It Follows and several other recent low-budget, high-concept horror movies, this one is out to make a point about how we all live in the shadow of our family history, as Collette’s character comes to realize after her matriarch mom dies and increasingly terrifying secrets are revealed. Co-starring Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff and Ann Dowd. Directed by Ari Aster. (R) 129 minutes. (SP)

JUNE 6-12, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

HOTEL ARTEMIS Jodie Foster stars as the Nurse, who runs a secret emergency room for criminals in near-future Los Angeles in this sci-fi feature debut from writer-director Drew Pearce.

Co-starring Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Zachary Quinto and Dave Bautista. (R) (SP)

OCEAN’S 8 Steven Soderbergh promised there wouldn’t be an Oceans 14, but apparently he discovered a sequel loophole, which is that there are other numbers.

So he’s producing this sequel in which Sandra Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean from the Ocean’s 11 films. And wouldn’t you know it, she’s into heists, too! Her all-woman team includes Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling and Helena Bonham Carter.

Directed by Gary Ross. (PG-13) 110 minutes. (SP) ON CHESIL BEACH Ian McEwan adapted his own novella for this film about a British couple in 1962 whose wedding night gets, uh, really awkward (in the novella, at least), becoming an examination of desire, intimacy and societal pressure. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Emily Watson and Billy Howle.

Directed by Dominic Cooke. (R) 110 minutes. (SP) THE SEAGULL Awk! Awk! Awk! Awwwk! Awk! Oh sorry, I didn’t realize you don’t speak seagull language. Let me translate: This

adaptation of the Chekhov play stars Annette Bening as an aging actress who brings her entourage to her brother’s country estate. All sorts of romantic entanglements and jealousies ensue. The Seagull Film Times gave his movie four out of five “awks,” which is pretty good!

Directed by Michael Mayer. Costarring Elizabeth Moss, Saoirse Ronan and Mare Winningham. (PG13) 110 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 ACTION POINT This comedy about a jackass who gets to run his own theme park stars TV jackass Johnny Knoxville as the jackass, and co-stars another TV jackass, Chris Pontius. Both are best known for TV’s Jackass, where they do jackass stunts. This movie also features jackass stunts as part of the jackass story about the jackass. To sum up: this movie about jackasses was made by jackasses and is basically Jackass.

Directed by Tim Kirkby. Co-starring Brigette Lundy-Paine and Johnny Pemberton. (R) 85 minutes. (SP) ADRIFT Never look up what the true story of a movie is before you see it! I saw the preview for this couple-stranded-in-the-ocean drama—which heavily pushed its “based on the incredible true story” angle—and couldn’t help myself. Based on what I read about the real story and what they showed in the preview, I’m pretty positive I know what the movie’s big twist is going to be. Don’t be like me! Stay off of Wikipedia!

Spoiler ignorance is bliss! Directed

by Baltasar Kormakur. Starring Shailene Woodley, Sam Claflin and Grace Palmer. (PG-13) (SP) AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR 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. Directors the Russo brothers seemingly always have something to cut to—some new angle on this mad multiverse fight as big bad 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.Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. (PG13) 139 minutes. (RvB) BEAST This dark, edgy drama has thrills to spare from the deft accumulation of detail. For his impressive debut feature, writerdirector Michael Pearce crafts an eerie mood of unspecified menace, in which anything might happen— and anyone might be capable of the most heinous actions. Trying to figure out whodunit—that weary cliché—is a puzzle that keeps us on the edge of our seats in Pearce's capable hands. Jessie Buckley conveys presence and vulnerability as the young woman at the center of the plot. Johnny Flynn is dynamic and unsettling as a mysterious outcast. ( R ) 107 minutes (***) (LJ) BOOK CLUB Man, I was really hoping we were done with anything having to do with Fifty Shades of Grey. But while the trilogy itself may be mercifully over, we’re still getting blowback like this comedy about a group of older women who read the book and try to spice up their sex lives. Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda and Candice Bergen are all in this movie, by the way.

Maybe it’s only fair as sort of a counterpart (or counterpoint) to the films that male actors like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau made late in their careers. Grumpy Old Men, meet Horny Old Women.

Co-starring Mary Steenburgen,

Don Johnson, Richard Dreyfuss and Craig T. Nelson. Directed by Bill Holderman. (PG-13) (SP) DEADPOOL 2 If you don’t believe that this Deadpool series is genuinely weirding up Hollywood, take a minute to watch the trailer for this film in which Ryan Reynolds, in full Deadpool costume, plays cult painting icon Bob Ross. No, what I just wrote didn’t make sense, but it happened—which is also the story of Deadpool’s success. The movie was hilarious and ridiculous in all the right ways, and this sequel ups the ante. If you think comic book movies are too cookie cutter, this is the movie for you. Directed by David Leitch. Co-starring Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin and Leslie Uggams. (R) 119 minutes. (SP) DISOBEDIENCE After his poignant transgender drama, A Fantastic Woman, filmmaker Sebastian Lelio turns again to the subject of freedom and identity vs. social conventions. The two women who dare to buck convention (Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams) are members of a strict Orthodox Jewish community in London, where every transgression — every disobedience, particularly from its female members — is a sin of epic proportions. The story explores gender roles unquestioned for centuries within this closed community, and their unacknowledged consequences roiling just beneath the surface.

Lelio keeps us guessing about what the potential outcome will be, then applies his innate compassion to a conflict-resolution scenario that is both unexpected and perfect.

Co-starring Alessandro Nivola and Anton Lesser. (R) 114 minutes. (LJ) FIRST REFORMED Reviewed this issue. Directed by Paul Schrader.

Starring Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, Cedric Kyles and Victoria Hill. (R) 113 minutes.

OVERBOARD Just last week, I was thinking, “You know what I wish they would remake? The forgotten 1987 Kurt Russell-Goldie 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. (PG-13) 112 minutes. (SP) RBG Forget The Avengers Infinity War. Here’s a movie that’s really worth cheering about. This smart, sly, heartfelt documentary by directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West, enters the marketplace with the same quiet, unassuming, yet determined demeanor as its subject—legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

As cunning as Loki, as grounded as Black Panther, she wields her opinion with the impact and precision of Thor's hammer, and achieves actual change, fighting for gender equality under the law as she has for five decades of groundbaking decisions. And nary a special effect in sight—unless you count her incredible stamina to keep fighting the good fight at age 84. (PG) 98 minutes. (LJ) SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Apparently millions of Star Wars fans have always wondered what Han Solo’s life was like before he encountered Luke and Ben in that Mos Eisley cantina. Not me! I figured it out when I was six. Basically, his early life story is: he came out of a plastic and cardboard box; moved into a house made of Lincoln Logs; flew around in a LEGO ship; made friends with a bunch of little green army men, with whom he invaded the fortress Darth Vader had set up on the couch; briefly dated Barbie; and then got lost for about four years behind some shelves that were too hard to check behind because there was an aquarium on top. I’m basing this all on what I witnessed at my house in 1978, but I think it’s pretty accurate and I hope this movie is careful to recreate the details accurately. Directed by Ron Howard.

Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke. (PG-13) 135 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK percent alcohol, it is a robust standalone blend that almost begs to be carefully savored. Notes of allspice and leather fill the center of this opulent creation. Plums adorn the finish. Ritchey calls this wine “almost a field blend” in that the two varietals were harvested on the same day at the same vineyard.

“The wine was pretty much made in the vineyard,” he says.

The winemaker may be modest, but the California State Fair judges were blown away, awarding Bottle Jack’s Syrah-Grenache blend a Double Gold award and a 100 point rating.

Fans of big reds, rejoice! Bottle Jack’s Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Super Tuscan blend, and Merlot are also yours to sample and purchase at the tasting room. 402 Ingalls St., Ste. 29, Santa Cruz. Open Friday from 3 -7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, Noon-5 p.m. bottlejackwines.com.

John Ritchey of Bottle Jack Winery is winning top honors for his big reds BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

s I sipped the supple Sangiovese along with dinner of pork loin and braised English peas, I realized that it was a very good idea for John Ritchey to showcase his Bottle Jack wines in the Surf City Vintners tasting complex. The more the wine opened, the more I liked it. And so will tasters who discover this and other Ritchey wines at the tasting room he began sharing with Silver Mountain Winery last month.

“Before we opened the new tasting room, people had to really seek us out,” Ritchey admits.

“The increased visibility—and the response—has been great.”

Filled with a robust and velvety mid-section of savory cherries, the 2014 Bottle Jack Winery Sangiovese—made from Machado Creek Vineyard, Morgan Hill grapes—has now become one of our house favorites. A Santa Cruz native, Ritchey found his way to winemaking by way of Italy (a year studying abroad in Florence) and Moldova (Romania) as a Peace Corps volunteer. “Moldova was my first experience in winemaking—I just fell into it by pure accident

since wine is such a huge part of the culture there.”

It was in those Moldovan vineyards that Ritchey first began using a bottle jack to press the freshly harvested grapes. And after a stint with Beauregard Vineyards, then a degree in enology, Ritchey made the leap in 2012, and Bottle Jack was born.

Taking a double gold in the recent State Fair competition, Ritchey’s big, peppery Rhone-style blend of Syrah and Grenache grapes, all from the high slopes of Zayante Vineyards, also pleased us, especially with after-dinner cheeses. At 14.5

Celebrating its 85th year, our region’s oldest winery is set to release its annual La Vita blend at a party on Sunday, June 10 from 3-5 p.m. at Bargetto Winery.

Produced from a custom blend of 50 percent Dolcetto, 29 percent Refosco and 21 percent Nebbiolo, the grapes for this year’s La Vita were grown on the Regan Estate Vineyards.

This year’s La Vita beneficiary is Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust, so come on down and enjoy the ceremonial unveiling of the new wine, plenty of tastings, live music and light appetizers. Tickets, $30, can be purchased online at bargetto. com or by calling Bargetto Winery at 831.475.2258 x10. La Vita retails for $60 per bottle.

Chocolatiers explain why less is more with bean-to-bar BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

G

ustavo Hilsdorf, 35, and Maiana Lasevicius, 29, moved to Santa Cruz from São Paulo, Brazil more than three years ago, and brought with them an exquisite taste for quality-sourced chocolate. They started their company Tiny House Chocolate a year after the move, drawing from their experiences and techniques back home (Lasevicius’s father makes chocolate in Brazil). Together the couple roasts and grinds multiorigin cacao beans to make about 225 bars each week—an intentionally very small amount, they say, compared to other companies.

What’s unique about your chocolate?

MAIANA LASEVICIUS: We want to keep it simple with two ingredients— cacao and sugar—so that you can taste the cacao. We have two lines; one is the single-origin that’s just cacao and sugar, and then the other has some inclusions. We add sarsaparilla, lemongrass, Earl Grey tea, or coffee. It’s a lot of work, especially with just us two, but it’s totally worth it. It’s what makes us happy at the end of the day.

GUSTAVO HILSDORF: The chocolate bar as we know it came from a big industry, Nestle or Hershey’s, and then between seven and 10 years ago there was a “bean to bar” chocolate movement in California, which sources the beans straight from farms with less processing.

We are part of that, and we want to to educate people on how we make chocolate. There are a lot of people who don’t know the process. Some think that chocolate comes from cows—we don’t use milk at all.

What’s important about craft chocolate?

HILSDORF: This new movement, bean to bar, is changing farmers’ lives.

Years ago, they wanted volume, and to pay a little for a lot. Now we have co-ops across the world, and people are harvesting and picking and are treated much better. So we want to stay craft and local, not industrialized.

The chocolate product is amazing, but behind it all it’s a community that is becoming better.

Tiny House Chocolate is hosting a trunk sale at Home/Work from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, June 9. tinyhousechocolate.com.

ade with organic grapes, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc ($24) from Kathryn Kennedy Winery is a lovely white wine that is perfect for summer, when it’s time to have a few lighter wines on hand.

Winemaker Marty Mathis has crafted fruit from CCOF-certified organic vineyards in Napa, Lake, Mendocino, and Sonoma counties— each vineyard selected “for its exceptional viticultural care.” This Sauvignon Blanc smacks of bright fruit, sparkling flavors of key lime and honeydew melon, and has a succulent juicy finish. Its brightgreen screw cap hints at the crispapple-fresh flavors within.

We ordered this easy-drinking wine and shared it with friends at Cantine Winepub in Aptos Village.

The cozy Cantine has a good selection of wine and beer to pair with its delicious tapas-style menu.

Mathis, son of the late Kathryn Kennedy, who started the winery in the 1970s and was a pioneer of women in the wine business, is one of the more respected winemakers in the Santa Cruz Mountains—and his wines are always in big demand,

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES UPLIFTING THE EARTH Now that the forces (Restoration, Enlightenment, Reconstruction) invoked during the Three Spring Festival (Aries, Taurus, Gemini) have precipitated into the Earth, the New Group of World Servers (NGWS) is being asked by the Hierarchy to make plans for their distribution in order that humanity is aided and uplifted. We remind ourselves that Restoration, Enlightenment and Reconstruction must begin within and wherever we find ourselves.

While under the influence of Gemini, mutable (fluid) air (intelligence) sign, humanity encounters much talk, reason, new ideas, revelatory and illuminating. Under Gemini and Mercury, we are asked to choose how we will speak with each other. Our

communications can create separations among and with each other, continuing a grave polarity in our country. Or our communications can create harmony in thought, words and speech which uplift the vital fluids, allowing for drops of blessings to stream forth upon everyone. These are Jupiter’s blessings (Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom and Gemini’s Ray).

Under Gemini, Mercury and Venus, with harmony of communication, we help “uplift the Earth to the Kingdoms of Beauty.”

Gemini asks us this question: “Why do reason, logic and truth seem to play a diminished role in our private and public discourses?”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

How is your communication network at home and with neighbors? Do you need a new phone (with no static?), computer upgrade, more reliable technology and sources of information? Mercury, the messenger, sitting in your living room, is looking around and assessing just how good your ability is to reach out, have Right Human Relations and make contact. Mercury reminds us that contact releases love.

Have your worldly plans worked out as expected? Has your daily life improved? For career advancement it’s good to gain a greater mastery in something you’re interested in. What would that be? All communications at work assume vital importance now. Careful not to make anything too complicated—from foods to exercise to expectations of others’ behaviors. Expectations create disappointments.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You will be communicating on a higher more spiritual level. It’s already begun and if you observe yourself each day, notice you’re reading, speaking, teaching, thinking, planning, focusing your ideals and opinions, and sending out important messages in all directions. Though it’s unusual for this to occur, it’s greatly needed for the elimination of all illusions and distortions concerning the truth (which isn’t relative at all).

You seek the mysteries of life, the larger view of life and to know the puzzle of how all the complicated various parts fit together. Culture, art, religions (especially), the law, geography, journeys, pilgrimages, the plains, horses, and various philosophies call to you. The question always is what to choose? Do travel here and there, out and about. You need new exposure, new vistas to explore.

Cosmo D’s Outrageous Edibles are the synergistic result of one man’s love for cannabis and 25 years as an Executive Chef.

It’s a good idea, a healthy one, to begin a consistent exercise program carried out each day at the same hour.

You might find yourself more excitable and nervous than usual. Exercise calms and diminishes these difficulties, focusing your mental abilities through daily planning.

When asked “What is mine to do this day?” Your answer is “exercise.” Keep moving.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Many internal realities are occurring in the form of thoughts, ideas, revelations, aspirations and plans.

In several months some of them will enter form and matter. Is the past presently taking up much of your thinking? Are you missing someone or thinking of people no longer in your life? Speaking with them is still possible. Visualize a line of light from your Soul to theirs. Meet them at the center of Light. Both hearts then open.

It’s good to ponder upon what your ideals, expectations and goals in life are. Are these ideals and goals from your heart or the heart and mind of another? It’s good also to consider what your ethics and principles are, and what integrity means to you?

In terms of principles, in the Aquarian Age there are three principles we are to abide by. Do you know what they are?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Enter deeply into conversations beyond the self. Allow communication to deepen, so you can think and feel and be serious with someone. Allow it to be intellectual, philosophical and psychological (but not political). Allow the encounter (you and the other) to change your ways of thinking. You could discuss the interesting subject of death. What are your thoughts on death? Do you know what the Bardos are?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Always come from the heart with those close to you.

When speaking with family ask them to listen and not respond. Unless you want responses. Later, ask questions and allow dialogue to flow, back and forth, among everyone. It’s good to have others’ perspectives.

At this time you also need beauty around you. Stand in a field of flowers. Stay within the nature, the most balanced kingdom. It teaches us harmony.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Wherever you are, seek fun and friendship. Don’t have an attitude of competitiveness or expectations that you will be first. The planets are pulling you back and inward these days. The energies allowed are those of rest, relaxation, laughter, ease, all things comfortable and uncomplicated. If the experiences don’t support this, step back into the shadows and observe. Love holds you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Express your deepest thoughts and feelings. Write them down. When possible, communicate to others your wants and needs. If no one’s listening, enter the information into your esoteric journal. Draw what you want and need. This is a very creative time. The arts— seeing them, reading about them, visiting museums, ballets, symphonies, botanical gardens, etc.—will strengthen your heart, which at times seems sad these days. Maintain prayer and visualizations.

Shop Local First

JAN CLAIR ULLMER, 37-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Electrician, Pacific Gas & Electric; artist Hobbies: Reading, hiking, painting, beading/jewelry, cooking Astrological Sign: Sagittarius Who or what first got you shopping here? Alan Lan brought me here the first week I moved to Santa Cruz. I was impressed with Shopper’s wooden floors and how lovely the food looked. I liked buying meat directly from a butcher, instead of pre-packaged products. Shopper’s changed my whole way of shopping. I enjoy cooking fresh vegetables so I usually come here every other day. I like the feel and the texture of handling produce. It’s a pleasurable experience for me. Whether it’s the produce or other items, I prefer organic. Everything they carry is quality with fantastic pricing!

What do you like to cook? Usually simple and good — but always fresh such as pasta or meat.

I like Shopper’s collate steaks, Mary’s chicken, and sometimes their fresh meatloaf. I’m actually buying a lot more of their fish these days. I appreciate the many local foods they carry — breads, eggs, coffees, produce, salsas and those super-fresh tortillas — plus their amazing chocolate section, that is always changing, and their wines. I enjoy wine with my meals and there’s always someone to consult with on choosing your wine selection. Love their everyday specials!

You have a favorite aspect of Shopper’s? I like the people. There’s a lot of community here at Shopper’s. It’s a local market with a fine selection, and it’s like a meeting place. I feel well taken care of and acknowledged by the lovely checkers, and the butchers know me by name. There’re a lot of fun interactions going on around the store at any given time. Thanks to Jim (Beauregard), I think his own-site ownership makes a difference in how Shopper’s is run — it always seems to be running smoothly. Shopper’s has changed the way I shop. I’m so grateful to Alan for bringing me here!
