OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE Sometimes important stories kind of sneak up on you. That’s what happened this week with Lauren Hepler’s report on the rise of whale entanglements in the Monterey Bay. It wasn’t originally planned as a cover story, even—we sent her out with the Whale Entanglement Team not knowing how much of a story was really there, but that the numbers on whale rescues in the Monterey Bay seemed to have jumped by statistically improbable percentages in the last five years. What she brought back is a fascinating—and concerning—look

BAD EDUCATION
4
Most people would agree that the primary goal of a university is to educate. One method of educating is to illustrate by example. Thus, UCSC illustrated principles for building a university by constructing examples. The visions of our early administrators—think of Clark Kerr and Dean McHenry—taught us how to start. They recruited first-rate architects and planners, such as John Carl Warnecke and Thomas Church. “Church and the architects were so struck by the beauty of the UCSC site they convinced the Regents to move the heart of the campus out of the meadow and into the trees, where the flora and terrain would be both a challenge and an inspiration.” (See http://50years.ucsc.edu/ new-campus/.) The current proposal for constructing the new 3,000-bed housing project on the UCSC campus includes seven apartment buildings ranging from four to 10 stories tall near Heller Drive and—even more egregious—15 acres of buildings in the East Meadow near the intersection of Hagar and Coolidge Drives. (See https://ppc.ucsc. edu/planning/EnvDoc.html for details.) The project is a bad example, and therefore bad education. It fails to achieve the primary goal of the university. If you ask faculty, staff, students and
at the future of the Monterey Bay ecosystem. It’s a complicated picture, and as with so many environmental stories, climate change plays a huge part. Within the fluctuations of the vast ocean off our shores, though, is a smaller but very dramatic story of two types of mammals trying to navigate around each other. One of them is 60,000 pounds, the other is roughly .002 percent that size. But as Hepler’s story shows, a few of those smaller mammals are dedicating themselves to saving the bigger ones, and making a huge difference in our waters. Their story is every bit as compelling, in its own way, as the larger picture here, and I hope this gives some much-deserved and needed exposure to their work. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
alumni why they chose to come to UCSC, you will find that a primary reason is the beauty of the campus and its close connections with nature—the views, the redwoods, the expansive meadows, and the amazing variety of wildlife. This “Design With Nature” philosophy is the primary reason we have such an excellent educational institution, and the reason that our faculty, staff and students don’t want to leave. Please help us work to maintain the original goal set by our founders. The comment period on the Draft EIR was recently extended to June 27. Please sign the petition by the East Meadow Action Committee at eastmeadowaction.org/petition.

SEASONAL SPLASH
GETTING A READ
As of June 9, the Harvey West Pool is officially open for the season, with lessons, exercise, lap swimming and good old-fashioned splashing around. Swim teacher Jim Booth and his staff have been teaching in Santa Cruz County for more than 40 years. The swim school can be reached at 722-3500. $6 water exercise classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. Lap swim is $5 per visit, and recreation swim is $4. For details, visit santacruzparksandrec.com.
In an end-of-the-school-year reading challenge, students at the Pajaro Valley Unified School District read close to three million words in one month with a brand new literacy app. The district announced three winners—preschooler Noah Baliscao, first grader Marcelino Ortiz Carcia and third grader Brandon Corona-Matias. Each winner will receive three movie tickets donated by Green Valley Cinema. Superintendent Michelle Rodriguez announced a new reading challenge this past weekend.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
NOT GOOD NEWS The local density topic meetings I attended left me dismayed and in strong opposition to what was proposed with the East Side corridor plan. It makes no sense to lift/ revise current regulations which are in place to safeguard our neighborhoods and a resident’s right to park their car in front of their own dwelling, as well as revising current building permit regulations, making it easier for density construction. More buildings and more people and cars in Santa Cruz, yet insufficient allotted parking? A recipe for disaster. NADA J. MISUNAS | SANTA CRUZ

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 My Aries acquaintance Tatiana decided to eliminate sugar from her diet. She drew up a plan to avoid it completely for 30 days, hoping to permanently break its hold over her. I was surprised to learn that she began the project by making a Dessert Altar in her bedroom, where she placed a chocolate cake and five kinds of candy. She testified that it compelled her willpower to work even harder and become even stronger than if she had excluded all sweet treats from her sight. Do you think this strenuous trick might work for you as you battle your own personal equivalent of a sugar addiction? If not, devise an equally potent strategy. You’re on the verge of forever escaping a temptation that’s no good for you. Or you’re close to vanquishing an influence that has undermined you. Or both.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 You have caressed and finessed The Problem. You have tickled and teased and tinkered with it. Now I suggest you let it alone for a while. Give it breathing room. Allow it to evolve under the influence of the tweaks you have instigated. Although you may need to return and do further work in a few weeks, my guess is that The Problem’s knots are now destined to metamorphose into seeds. The awkwardness you massaged with your love and care will eventually yield a useful magic.
GEMINI May21–June20
Would you have turned out wiser and wealthier if you had dropped out of school in third grade? Would it have been better to apprentice yourself to a family of wolves or coyotes rather than trusting your educational fate to institutions whose job it was to acclimate you to society’s madness? I’m happy to let you know that you’re entering a phase when you’ll find it easier than usual to unlearn any old conditioning that might be suppressing your ability to fulfill your rich potentials. I urge you to seek out opportunities to unleash your skills and enhance your intelligence.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The temptation to over dramatize is strong. Going through with a splashy but messy conclusion may have a perverse appeal. But why not wrap things up with an elegant whisper instead of a garish bang? Rather than impressing everyone with how amazingly complicated your crazy life is, why not quietly lay the foundations for a low-key resolution that will set the stage for a productive sequel? Taking the latter route will be much easier on your karma, and in my opinion will make for just as interesting a story.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21
CANCER Jun21–Jul22
For the next two-plus weeks, an unusual rule will be in effect: The more you lose, the more you gain. That means you will have an aptitude for eliminating hassles, banishing stress, and shedding defense mechanisms. You’ll be able to purge emotional congestion that has been preventing clarity. You’ll have good intuitions about how to separate yourself from influences that have made you weak or angry. I’m excited for you, Capricorn! A load of old, moldy karma could dissolve and disperse in what seems like a twinkling. If all goes well, you’ll be traveling much lighter by July 1.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
“Whether you love what you love or live in divided ceaseless revolt against it, what you love is your fate.” Gemini poet Frank Bidart wrote that in his poem “Guilty of Dust,” and now I offer it to you. Why? Because it’s an excellent time to be honest with yourself as you identify whom and what you love. It’s also a favorable phase to assess whether you are in any sense at odds with whom and what you love; and if you find you are, to figure out how to be in more harmonic alignment with whom and what you love. Finally, dear Gemini, now is a key moment to vividly register the fact that the story of your life in the coming years will pivot around your relationship with whom and what you love.
Congratulations on the work you’ve done to cleanse the psychic toxins from your soul, Cancerian. I love how brave you’ve been as you’ve jettisoned outworn shticks, inadequate theories, and irrelevant worries. It makes my heart sing to have seen you summon the self-respect necessary to stick up for your dreams in the face of so many confusing signals. I do feel a tinge of sadness that your heroism hasn’t been better appreciated by those around you. Is there anything you can do to compensate? Like maybe intensify the appreciation you give yourself?

tions might you launch? What useful improvements can you finagle? (P.S. Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead attributed the primary drive for innovative ideas and gizmos to “pleasurable intellectual curiosity.”)
I hope you’re reaching the final stages of your year-long project to make yourself as solid and steady as possible. I trust you have been building a stable foundation that will serve you well for at least the next five years. I pray you have been creating a rich sense of community and establishing vital new traditions and surrounding yourself with environments that bring out the best in you. If there’s any more work to be done in these sacred tasks, intensify your efforts in the coming weeks. If you’re behind schedule, please make up for lost time.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “Necessity is the mother of invention,” says an old proverb. In other words, when your need for some correction or improvement becomes overwhelming, you may be driven to get creative. Engineer Allen Dale put a different spin on the issue. He said that “if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father.” Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein agreed, asserting that “progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” I’m not sure if necessity or laziness will be your motivation, Virgo, but I suspect that the coming weeks could be a golden age of invention for you. What practical innova-
Each of us harbors rough, vulnerable, controversial, or unhoned facets of our identity. And every one of us periodically reaches turning points when it becomes problematic to keep those qualities buried or immature. We need to make them more visible and develop their potential. I suspect you have arrived at such a turning point. So, on behalf of the cosmos, I hereby invite you to enjoy a period of ripening and self-revelation. And I do mean “enjoy.” Find a way to have fun.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I suggest you avoid starting a flirtatious correspondence with a convict who’ll be in jail for another 28 years. OK? And don’t snack on fugu, the Japanese delicacy that can poison you if the cook isn’t careful about preparing it. Please? And don’t participate in a séance where the medium summons the spirits of psychotic ancestors or diabolical celebrities with whom you imagine it might be interesting to converse. Got that? I understand you might be in the mood for high adventure and out-of-the-ordinary escapades. And that will be fine and healthy as long as you also exert a modicum of caution and discernment.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I suggest that you pat yourself on the back with both hands as you sing your own praises and admire your own willful beauty in three mirrors simultaneously. You have won stirring victories over not just your own personal version of the devil, but also over your own inertia and sadness. From what I can determine, you have corralled what remains of the forces of darkness into a comfy holding cell, sealing off those forces from your future. They won’t bother you for a very long time, maybe never again. Right now you would benefit from a sabbatical -- a vacation from all this high-powered character-building. May I suggest you pay a restorative visit to the Land of Sweet Nonsense?

THE DANGER IS REAL Re: Wildfire danger (GT, 4/11): I live adjacent to Willow Canyon, which in turn is adjacent to the Seascape Uplands Preserve. While I applaud the deals made to protect these lands, Willow Canyon has become severely choked with vegetation, much of which is weedy and non-native. When I first moved to this house 18 years ago, my dog and I would hike a loop through the canyon easily. Now it’s impossible without a machete. This is one of those areas in the county that would blow up so fast that at least 50 homes, a school, and a church could all be on fire

As far as I’m concerned, and in this matter I think I can speak for all of my neighbors, all the owners of said property over the last 20 or more years will be held responsible for the devastation should a fire erupt here.

PEOPLE HELP THE PEOPLE A memorial outside of Les Halles Brasserie in New York City, where chef and author Anthony Bourdain worked, at the beginning of a wild journey, in the 1990s.
Dark Days
What Anthony Bourdain taught us about ourselves BY MARIA DEMAY of a consumption-driven society, I self-medicated with the Tangiers and Congo episodes of early Parts Unknown, CNN’s travelogue show hosted by Anthony Bourdain. On that particular night, it worked. I felt reassured, inspired. Because Moroccan tajine! Because the cafe culture my soul longs for still exists, though one may have to cross borders and entire oceans to slip into its chairs. And so it goes. I cannot recall a celebrity death, nor its incomputable circumstances, that has shaken me harder than the loss of Anthony Bourdain last week. Bourdain’s work followed those remaining threads of real connection and culture and held them up for the world to see and taste. In so doing, he was a protector. Rising from the underbelly of New York City kitchen culture, Bourdain’s
No Reservations and Parts Unknown narrated a quest for the cultural glue at the center of it all: food. Not the protein bars and yogurt thrown into a work bag, the Trader Joe’s salad eaten at a desk. Cue his unmistakable voice: the “local stew, the humble taqueria’s mystery meat and the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head.” It was a quest for that which does not merely sustain us physically, but pulls us together in shared experience of tradition and love—eyeballs and all. But Bourdain also broadcast to the mainstream in full color the world’s harsher realities, like low fish counts in rivers and ingeniously sourced meals cobbled together in areas of extreme poverty. One of the most well-traveled and well-fed humans to ever live, Bourdain was a self-

O
n my darker days, I feel I live in an America bleached by corporate ambition and greed. The state of the rivers, oceans and forests is a barometer of our political times, our lifestyle. But if we blow the dust off that ’60s rally cry, “the personal is political,” we see what they meant: humans, too, are barometers. The deterioration of culture and real connection—of taste, ambiance, sharing meals and honoring the food at the center of it all, resourcefulness, good music at the right volume, good sex—has been gnawing at me for months, and more subtly casting shadows for years. Two weeks ago, amid a perfect storm of fraught sleep, hormones and the aforementioned social byproducts
made anomaly who shook his head in disbelief at his own luck. He seemed to have everything a man could want beyond his wildest dreams. The devastation of suicide’s premature credit roll comes with a thousand unanswered questions. Speculation is tortuous, its solace flimsy. The media’s mishandling of Kate Spade’s suicide just days before Bourdain’s prompted outreach by the American Association of Suicidology and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to larger media houses, and a notable shift in how it addresses a growing elephant in America’s living room: across age and ethnicity, suicide has risen by 30 percent since 1999, according the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of Americans taking antidepressants for five years—15.5 million—has tripled since 2000. Over these past two decades, tinged too by an epidemic of prescription opioid addiction, mental illness has become the second most common cause of disability in the U.S., but its relationship to the economy is the inverse of its funding. Following Bourdain and Spade’s deaths, social media channels brimmed with heartbreak. But a new trend also emerged, as many admitted their own struggles with depression and suicidal ideation. As with those courageous figures of the #MeToo movement, says Alejandra Vargas, program coordinator at our local Suicide Prevention Services, those who brave potential ridicule to come forward are also “showing [those struggling] that ‘your loved ones, or people maybe you look up to, have also gone through this and survived and thrived.’ It normalizes. It helps us recognize that we’re not completely alone.” We can’t bring back the beloved renegade chef or the loved ones we’ve lost to suicide, but the humanity we’ve seen thus far appears to be melting a long held stigma. And it’s inviting individual mental health and society’s overall health to finally sit down next to each other around the same table, because the stew is almost ready.

NEWS CIVIC MINDED Friends of the Civic Auditorium group calls for $20 million in Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium renovations
JUNE 13-19, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

To Ellen Primack, executive director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium renovations represent a long overdue dream. A crowd of around 20 gathered at the auditorium steps on June 7 to express support for the renovations, pointing to its lack of handicap accommodations and air conditioning, and its generally outdated and under-utilized state. It was, after all, built in 1939. “From a Cabrillo Festival standpoint, the facility is not serving our elders,” Primack says. “The seating is becoming a deterrent to cultural participation, and we are not the only ones. People will make choices; they choose between beautiful facilities over the hill and coming here, so we want to make sure that we have that point to bring them here.” In the last nearly 80 years, the Civic Auditorium has hosted the Miss California Pageant and countless Santa Cruz Follies shows and high school graduations. It’s also home to the annual Martin Luther King Convocation, and, over the years, it’s brought in Bob Dylan, the Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel, and the Pixies, among many others. The hall was primarily built for sports, as evidenced by the court-facing seating and gymnasium flooring. But with the construction of the temporary Kaiser Permanente Arena, those sports events have, for the most part, found a newer home. Though the auditorium draws more than 85,000 people annually, it lacks the allure and functionality to compete with other venues, and it can be a difficult selling point for Santa Cruz, particularly when trying to attract bigger-name speakers and performers. “This building is intended to present the best of Santa Cruz’s past, present and future. Today we are lucky to have the highest quality performances right here, but the facility is letting down the performers and guests,” says Santa Cruz Mayor David Terrazas. “The Civic >16

Scrutiny puts Health Services Agency and inpatient services under a microscope BY ANDREA PATTON
M
ichael Fitzgerald was homeless for four years in the late 1970s and into the early ’80s in Santa Cruz, while struggling with mental health challenges. After recovering, he entered the mental health care industry, and he now serves as technical advisor for the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Santa Cruz County (NAMI). He says county government leaders need to do a better job of handling mental health crises. “Looking at other counties, we could learn from some of their approaches.
Santa Cruz is, unfortunately, an outlier,” Fitzgerald says. He isn’t the only one with concerns. Santa Cruz Mayor David Terrazas says that mental health struggles of people on the streets have created “the number one issue” facing downtown. Folks in need of psychological support, he says, can create a visible—and often noisy— impact. Since Terrazas’ term began late last year, he has repeatedly pushed for more collaboration on mental health issues, starting with his Dec. 20 column in the Santa Cruz Sentinel titled “We Can’t Do It Alone.”
“A well-run and effective mental health services response in our region is something in all of our interests,” Terrazas tells GT, “and especially for the city of Santa Cruz.” The county’s Health Services Agency—particularly the portions dealing with mental health—have been taking heat from multiple sides lately. Homeless advocates Sibley Simon and John Deitz say the agency can be an inadequate partner, one that does a poor job managing the intersection of homelessness and various kinds of illness.

Reflecting on the various mentors I have had as a person and as a professional, clearly the first to impact my career path at an early age was my stepfather Graham, whose example ultimately led to my ending up in real estate. Back in the ‘Sixties, Graham was just an enterprising guy with minimal education and a thirst for knowledge. As a functioning introvert, he gained valuable business skills working as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman in London, eventually earning enough money to travel, letting his hair and beard grow out along the way. His journey brought him to the United States, where he landed on the East Coast, bought the biggest car he could afford: an old metallic blue Dodge Polara (yes, the model they used as police cars back then—I can still picture its ribbed blue vinyl bench seats), and drove it across the country to California, where he met my mom…and they were married within a month of being introduced to each other by their spiritual teacher. I was four at the time, and we lived in San Rafael at an ashram in a sprawling brown-shingled mansion that we shared with 30 or so other hippies in various stages of conversion to the Sikh religion, which I grew up practicing. We moved into the basement of the “big red house”, and it was there that our fledgling family unit started out. My sleeping space was an open section of hallway outside their bedroom with a couple of sheets hung to give me some privacy. We’ve all come a long way since then.

After being given our spiritual names, we moved to Monterey where Graham developed his skills as a builder, eventually getting his contractor’s license. But he was never one to sit content working for others and I remember him always reading motivational books for ways to improve his life and develop means of building wealth.

Graham was entirely self-taught in his real estate ventures, getting advice along the way from a client who gave him an old Italian proverb “que vendi, perdi,” or “he who sells, loses,” which he took to heart. From that point, he focused on buying properties and renting them out to cover the mortgage, and over time amassed a portfolio of homes and apartments that funded a comfortable retirement. Based largely on the example set by him, I ended up following a similar investment path, but built on a career on real estate instead of construction. The two main mentors in my development as a professional were my brokers Robin Sherman and Martin Boone, who gave me a solid foundation in ethics and real estate practice that helped me further solidify my skills in business. And, in the course of running an investment fund alongside Martin over the past four years, I have learned additional invaluable lessons broadening my scope on the many ways deals can be structured to create opportunity. It has been a great journey at every step, but none of it might have happened if not for that fateful day when my mom met a guy named Graham.

Grand Jury report, released in May, called for county behavioral health professionals to accompany law enforcement on more calls. A few weeks prior to that, Santa Cruz’s Greg Larson, former town manager for Los Gatos, filed an online petition that gained 2,668 signatures calling for increased transparency with mental health funding, after local woman Sarah Shinsky was attacked near the clock tower by a mentally ill man. The petition accused the county of sitting on $15 million in tax revenues. Essentially, he says he wanted to call for more accountability on how the HSA, the county’s largest department, spends its mental health money. County officials pushed back on the details, and Larson quickly modified the petition’s wording. “Our unspent funds are less than $3 million,” says Pam Rogers-Wyman, the HSA’s adult services director. “That’s been really a misnomer that we’re sitting on millions of dollars. I think we’ve tried to correct it several times.” State law, she adds, requires the agency to keep a certain amount of funding in its reserves. Other local activists from both the left and the right—including the public safety group Take Back Santa Cruz—have lined up with criticisms of their own. And a NAMI report from this past fall identified key areas where the HSA needs to improve, calling for better oversight of the contracted mental health care provider Telecare. The report noted that the number of beds available for people experiencing a mental health crisis is critically low in Santa Cruz County. It showed that the discrepancy impacts everything from emergency room treatment times to an increased presence of people on the street who would normally be hospitalized. In a California State Auditor’s report, Santa Cruz County was one of 12 mental health agencies statewide that did not submit their fiscal year report by the December 2017 deadline. The agency was one of six that didn’t submit reports for either of the past two years.
“Our unspent funds are less than $3 million. That’s been really a misnomer that we’re sitting on millions of dollars. I think we’ve tried to correct it several times.” — PAM ROGERS-WYMAN, HSA ADULT SERVICES DIRECTOR
“We’re behind, and we do expect to file those reports quickly,” says county spokesperson Jason Hoppin, who says the problem stemmed from a software switchover. “It was internal. It doesn’t excuse us.” At the end of May, Health Services Agency Director Giang Nguyen left her post at the county, but officials said they couldn’t discuss the reasons for her departure. Rogers-Wyman says the biggest problems Santa Cruz County faces are not unique to this area. “I think it feels for every community from San Diego to Crescent City, anyone along the coast, that we’re dealing with an issue around lack of low-income housing, poverty, and behavioral health system that is not adequately funded for the need. We spend every penny we get, and we leverage it as far as we can, but it’s not that much money,” she says.
NO SURE BED Santa Cruz County has less than a fourth of the number of inpatient offerings recommended by Treatment Advocacy Center, which advocates for 50 beds per 100,000 residents. With a total of 16 beds, Santa Cruz County has only six beds per 100,000 residents. That is half of California’s average, as noted in the NAMI report. That report was dedicated in part to the memory of Sean Arlt, who was shot and killed by Santa Cruz Police officers shortly after he was released from a brief stay at the Behavioral Health Center without stabilizing from a psychotic episode. Progressive activist Denise Elerick feels that local hospitals aren’t doing their share when it comes to mental health, either, further compounding problems at the HSA. She’s also
frustrated with a local perception that mental health issues pose a serious safety hazard to the entire community. Rogers-Wyman says she and her colleagues are aware of the inpatient issue and are working toward a solution. “We are not necessarily looking at additional inpatient beds within the county. We are working on a contract with an inpatient unit over the hill as an overflow, but we are working with Telecare on developing more of a continuum where we can best utilize our inpatient beds,” she says, noting that Encompass is also a crisis residential facility geared toward patients who no longer need a locked-down setting. “That is a continuous discussion.”
SEEKING COVERAGE Affordable housing entrepreneur Sibley Simon says that when someone’s homeless, it’s impossible to solve their mental health difficulties without also addressing their need for housing. “You can spend all these resources in the hospital, on medication, and it does not help at all for many different major medical issues,” Simon says. “People die when they’re homeless of things that wouldn’t kill anyone else.” Around the county, nonprofits on the front lines of this issue are increasingly using the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to tracking the county’s neediest people. Simon lauds the Homeless Persons Health Project, a county HSA program, for using HMIS and for its work with people living on the streets, more generally. >16

INCREASED VIEWERSHIP The designs for a fully remodeled Civic Auditorium includes
retractable seating, elevators, second-floor entrances and an open rooftop balcony.

is not living up to its potential currently, we need to do more to ensure the safety of visitors and performers and we have a ways to go to catch up to today’s standards for comfort and amenities.” A new group, Friends of the Civic Auditorium, has formed to support the renovations. Their goal is to raise awareness and funding. Since the foundation of the auditorium is structurally sound, Primack says the renovations will focus primarily on modernization. The Civic Leadership Team first formed in 2012, and eventually partnered with ELS Architecture and Urban Design. Together they came up with a plan that includes retractable seating for around 1,700 audience members (which is actually a downsize from the current 2,000-seat capacity), an open rooftop balcony, elevators and second-floor entrances. They’re also looking to update the lighting and technical equipment, while expanding the lobby and concessions bar. The David and Lucile Packard Foundation sponsored the surveys and business planning studies, as well as the current outreach efforts. Although Arts Council Santa Cruz County is the group’s current fiscal sponsor, no one has yet to contribute any funding to the renovations. The group
is looking to raise an additional $20 million to implement the proposed renovations. “The biggest obstacles are resources, because this is becoming a much more immediate and urgent need,” Primack says. “We need to educate the public about the immediacy of it in the context of all of the other major needs of our community.” Looking ahead, the group imagines paying the bill will require both private investment and public funding, including grant applications. They are hoping to start a movement, and potentially have a ballot measure put forth by the city of Santa Cruz, though Primack says they aren’t sure about the specifics. Santa Cruz’s quartercent sales tax just passed earlier this month to preserve existing programs, but in recent years, city leaders have floated the idea of a future ballot measure to fund the Civic and other projects, including the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf and a possible new basketball arena for the Santa Cruz Warriors. Right now, though, it’s the auditorium that’s in the spotlight. “It really starts with public education, outreach and advocacy,” Primack says. “Ideally this vision is broadcast to anyone who steps in the building.”

But he notes that the rest of the Health Services Agency doesn’t use the system. He compares the situation to a doctor who isn’t interested in looking at a patient’s medical records or sharing information with other doctors. “It’s the equivalent, in case management, of medical records,” he says. “It’s information about what programs they’ve been a part of, what challenges they’ve had, how long have they been homeless here, what ailments and characteristics have been diagnosed, what services they’re getting from other partners, comments on what’s been effective, what hasn’t, their history.” John Dietz, one of the founders of the 180/2020 program to end chronic homelessness, says he’s seen a high percentage of people return to homelessness, often after receiving one year of services through the county. And the county, he feels, does a poor job of following up with people. The needs of a recently housed person often develop into a mental health crisis that spirals until they get evicted. “The problem they’re having is loneliness,” he says. “The client doesn’t have anyone to talk to. No one is checking in on them. They’re falling back on bad habits.” Hoppin says the county officials know there are some holes in the safety net, and they’re working to patch them with new solutions like Whole Person Care, the new techdriven program aimed at aiding the neediest county residents. “While we have services available for people in crisis and those who suffer from severe mental illness, it’s true that more can be done for mild and moderate cases,” he says. “We expect to develop these services once Whole Person Care is fully operational, and we also now have follow-up care available for those being treated for substanceuse disorder through the recent expansion of those services under Medi-Cal, which the county is helping to fund.” City Councilmember Cynthia Chase says that while she understands many of the critiques lobbed at county
health, she has seen that frustration can go too far at times. Chase, who also works as the inmate program manager at the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, says the community needs to remember that the county is a partner and not an enemy—especially if it wants to get positive results. “You can go down a rabbit hole of misinformation, and end up creating adversaries where we should be creating partnerships,” she says.
REASON FOR HOPE While it is uncommon to see one county agency garner so much criticism from so many different camps, that doesn’t mean there’s consensus on everything that should be done better. For their part, public safety activists from Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC) feel that the HSA could be more proactive about referring addicts to treatment options and improving the Santa Cruz County Syringe Services Program, commonly known as the needle exchange. The program is designed to stop the spread of disease among intravenous drug users. David Giannini, a member of TBSC’s executive committee, suggests the program try doing a onefor-one exchange—so that a user may only receive one syringe for every dirty one they bring in—or some other mechanism to incentivize users to bring back each syringe, instead of littering them about. “If you could find some way to make used syringes valuable,” says Giannini, whose 18 years sober from addictions of his own, “then my brothers and sisters who are still out there using, would gather them up and find them a way to give them back.” Other activists, including Elerick, have long held that stricter exchanges will do a poorer job of reducing the spread of disease and may do nothing to curb littering. She notes that many homeless people often have their belongings—including clean syringes—stolen or sometimes swept up in camp clean-ups. She says more syringe disposal sites would be a more rational solution. In general, Fitzgerald says the most important step for the HSA to >17

take is to start a dialogue and better involve the community. He compares the Santa Cruz region to San Luis Obispo County, a similarly sized coastal community that also grapples with homelessness. “According to their MHSA plan, they have a very robust engagement with their community compared with Santa Cruz, where there was virtually none. It’s an opportunity for us to improve,” says, Fitzgerald, who’s also executive director of behavioral health services at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View. “The mental health director needs to lead this, but the community must accept the challenge and become engaged.” Faith leaders and business owners are beginning to step up. Father Milutin Janjic, of the Prophet Elias Church, says his congregants asked him to call a meeting with Mayor Terrazas, Police Chief Andy Mills, and county health leaders for members of the church to learn about services available for mental health. At the meeting, Rogers-Wyman shared information about the new program HOPES, which allows community members to make referrals for mental health through the website santacruzhealth.org/ hopesteam. She made a similar presentation at the Downtown Association meeting a few days later. Since its unpublicized launch in mid-March, the county has received 90 referrals, and Rogers-Wyman says the county is actively managing about 30 of those individuals, 10 of which they’ve gotten off the street and into residential treatment for either substance disorder or mental health. Janjic says his church, which is located across the street from the library and Santa Cruz City Hall, has outreach programs to help people in need, including the homeless. “We’ve developed some kind of relationship with them, and then we see how desperate they are for help, especially those with mental health issues,” he says. “We would like to see how we, as a part of the Santa Cruz community, could help, but we would also like to see what the city, county and state, are doing to help those people.”

he morning fog in Moss Landing is still thick when Peggy Stap and her volunteer whale rescue crew load up their GPS-equipped buoys, flying knives and repurposed lacrosse helmets. It’s just after 9 a.m. on this Tuesday morning when Stap steers her 40-foot boat into the harbor. Her 13-year-old rescue dog, a local social media celebrity known as “Whiskie the Whale Spotter,” shares the captain’s seat. After a quick safety check—calm water, good weather—Stap relays the latest radio chatter to her small team of researchers, photographers and curious visitors. “Tim’s got a gray whale that doesn’t look healthy,” Stap says. She revs the engine and heads for the open waters of the Monterey Bay. Following up on vague reports from whale-watching boats, fishermen and park rangers has become a near-daily routine for the 63-year-old Michigan transplant. As founding director of the nonprofit research and rescue group Marine Life Studies, Stap has carved out a niche as the Monterey Bay’s go-to first responder for injured whales. Lately, that means helping to cut loose more and more of the 60,000-pound animals who get caught in crab lines, fishing nets and other ocean hazards. It’s a task that has grown increasingly daunting since 2006, when Stap and Mary Whitney of Carmel’s Fluke Foundation started an early version of the Whale Entanglement Team (WET) that now struggles to keep pace with calls about animals in distress. “We’ve had three entanglements just in the past couple of weeks,” says Laura Kasa, former director of Save Our Shores and a consultant to the recently formed Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. She says the new organization is prioritizing fundraising for entanglement to ensure rescue crews have necessary supplies. TRACKING SUCCESS A humpback whale entangled by a crab pot off “The sad thing is they die such a slow, painful death. They can carry the coast of Northern California was tracked and disentangled by Pieter Folkens this gear for six months to a year,” Kasa says.

CLIMATE CHANGES Statistics from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show a quickly evolving picture for entanglement. From 2000 to 2013, California averaged 10 reports of entangled whales per year. In 2015, there were 25 reports of entangled whales in Northern California alone—21 of those in the Monterey Bay—marking the highest tally since record-keeping began in 1982. In 2016, the number of reports climbed again, to 23 whales in the Monterey Bay alone. Last year saw 26 reported entanglements throughout California, still well above the historical average, according to NOAA data. Not all of the entangled whales reported in the Monterey Bay actually originate there, though. “We’re the whale watching capital of the world, so there are more eyes
on the water,” Stap said. She’s seen animals drag lines to the Central Coast from fisheries in Fort Bragg or farther. Explaining the science behind the increase in entanglements is also more complicated than keeping a closer eye on fishing lines, according to the researchers, nonprofits and fishermen watching the water. Whales entangled in pursuit of shifting food stocks illustrate a convergence of evolving ocean biology with big implications not just for wildlife, but also a regional economy built on a reliable supply of valuable seafood. “If the world continues to get warmer, things are going to shift,” says Francisco Chavez, senior scientist and biological oceanographer with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. “The species that are in Monterey Bay will be in Oregon, and the

A TANGLED FUTURE <20 species that are in Point Conception will be in Monterey Bay.” That doesn’t mean wildlife in the Bay will disappear, Chavez is quick to point out. What it might mean is major uncertainty about the ecological future of the Monterey Bay, perhaps with unexpected side effects like the surge in whale entanglements. “We should expect more surprises,” Chavez says. “I don’t know if entanglements will be the next big thing or if it will be something else.” For Calder Deyerle, a Moss Landing fisherman whose family owns and operates Sea Harvest Fish Market and Restaurant, the biggest challenge is working with researchers and environmental groups to understand the problem in the context of an ever-evolving marine environment. “What it really comes down to is a whole lot of really smart people don’t really know a whole lot,” Deyerle says.
FEELING THE HEAT By mid-morning on her recent Tuesday expedition, Stap is losing faith that her crew will be able to locate the injured gray whale reported the night before. A few seemingly healthy humpback whales and white, squid-eating Risso’s dolphins surface, but most sightings are of another kind. “First one, species was balloon,” Stap tells a volunteer who is recording each identification. “This one, species is plastic.” By the end of the day, the Marine Life Studies boat will collect 47 Mylar balloons, many marking the recent Mother’s Day holiday. Pollution is one of many variables that complicates the mission of Stap’s team and others working to minimize wildlife run-ins. Chavez, who has studied the Monterey Bay for three decades, says the exact biological changes attributable to human activity remain impossible to pinpoint. Still, he says, the ecosystem “changed in a way we hadn’t seen” after 1997. Among the most acute shifts are
periodic temperature changes— beyond the normal cycle of warmer El Niño water—that impact the “upwelling system” cycling feedstocks through the Monterey Bay. In 2015, both researchers and fishermen say that the altered temperature resulted in fewer krill in deeper water, pushing whales to follow anchovies closer to shore. “The buzzword these days is ‘marine heatwaves,’” Chavez says, noting similarly anomalous years around 1940 and 1997. The habitat shrinks. Man meets whale. This recent event was just much more prolonged.” Day to day, Deyerle says, fishermen were left to contend with a sudden influx of whales during 2015 near long-established coastal fishing and crabbing spots. The resulting accidents were a shock to the system. “I never even really worried or considered whale entanglements to be an issue,” Deyerle said. “That year really forced it into everybody’s lap.” The sheer number of whales in and around the Monterey Bay is another major factor in changing interactions with the ocean giants. The population of humpback whales on the West Coast has rebounded from 1,200 before whaling restrictions in the late 1960s to more than 18,000 today. In the meantime, Deyerle says, fisherman are also juggling limitations on the region’s famous Dungeness crab—both natural fluctuations in population, and regulations on crabbing season and the types of crabs it is permissible to catch in the Bay. As of 2012, federal data shows that commercial fishing was a $30 million business in the Monterey Bay, including almost $9.5 million in revenue from Dungeness crab. “You spend more money on fuel and bait and time and gear than you’re making,” Deyerle says of the predicament fisheries have faced in recent years. As the Central Coast economy diversifies with increased investment in tourism, advanced

MOVING TARGETS Before she decided to spend her retirement tracking down injured whales along the coast from
Davenport to Big Sur, Stap spent two decades studying whales in Hawaii and California. The former retail sales director and landscape architect moved from the Midwest to be in the Monterey Bay area full time in 2010. After more than a decade on the entanglement beat, Stap knows when to stop and regroup. By late morning on her recent patrol, she calls off the search for the injured gray whale—an example of the difficulty of tracking a gigantic moving target, since people who report entangled whales are often unable to stand by and keep an eye on the animal until Stap arrives. “We could do this all day and not find it,” Stap says. In one case, she remembers, it took 17 days to find a whale reported entangled in the Monterey Bay—which was

agriculture and attracting high tech companies, Deyerle says he is among the fishermen hedging his bets. He’s now casting longlines for sablefish, no longer relying as heavily on crab. Looking ahead, Chavez says staying in business could require even more significant adjustments if water temperatures continue to climb. “The things that we normally see during these warm events are tuna and things of that nature. Things people like to eat. It’s not all gloom and doom,” Chavez says. “The thing is, it’s kind of hard to prepare for the local fishermen. The bigger fleets will do better than the small mom and pops.”

eventually discovered in Santa Barbara. If a search does prove successful, WET’s team of volunteers and one part-time assistant are ready. First, they call NOAA for permission to approach the whale. When that is granted, a team departs on a smaller boat to get closer. The first objective is to attach a telemetry buoy equipped with a satellite tracker to make it easier to monitor the whale’s location. From there, protocol dictates that a NOAA-certified “level four” responder should do the actual cutting. Since the closest level four to Santa Cruz is 100 miles away in Benicia, that can leave the WET crew to monitor whales for several hours. Getting a local certified to perform disentanglements on shorter notice is one long-term goal, Stap said. Marine Life Studies also photographs whale flukes and dorsal fins, which are sent to Washington’s Cascadia Research and logged in a database tracking whale migration patterns. Fundraising for specialized equipment is one recurring challenge. Marine Life is currently raising $10,000 for a new cut boat. Then, there are dozens of smaller tools, like navigation devices and a $500 “whale rescue blade”— rounded at the tip to avoid cutting the animal, but sharp enough to cut thick lines “like butter,” Stap says. In the coming months, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Foundation hopes to raise $50,000 from area residents and businesses to fund Stap’s group and additional NOAA boats that could be mobilized to help despite shrinking federal conservation funding. Those funds would be matched by the Monterey Bay Peninsula Foundation. To better understand one of the primary causes of entanglement, Deyerle and Stap are both part of a three-year-old California Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Working Group convened by the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife. The group is currently focused on collecting data and applying ocean biology to whale migration as part of an ongoing Risk
Assessment and Mitigation Program (RAMP). Deyerle says he and other fisherman are also exploring alternative line materials and other animal-safe technologies, though such tools can be cost-prohibitive or not yet proven for regular use. Still, some environmental groups have grown impatient. Last year, after quitting the crab working group, the Center for Biological Diversity sued the state for failing to address the problem. The group blamed the state for enforcing “virtually no restrictions on the fishermen,” according to an October 2017 report in the East Bay Express. Deyerle says local fisheries are already subject to more regulation than counterparts in other parts of the country. Stap and others also contend that working with the Central Coast’s multimillion-dollar commercial fishing industry is the most pragmatic approach. “There’s nobody out there that wants to catch a whale,” says Heather Willis, a Pacifica-based volunteer with the nonprofit California Whale Rescue, which helps coordinate entanglement responses. “That sucks, to lose thousands of dollars worth of equipment.” Day to day, Stap is left to man the front line of a rapidly-changing environment. On this one, even with the sun shining on an unusually serene bay, the gray whale never surfaces. A few days later, though, a humpback trailing a 70-foot line with white and yellow buoys is spotted in Big Sur. Stap says her group is on standby, with a team ready to respond. Kasa says what the whale rescue effort needs is more reliable funding for better equipment and more manpower. Of the 26 entangled whales reported in California last year, just three were fully released from gear by response teams. Five whales were partially disentangled and one appeared to free itself, leaving 20 cases with unknown outcomes. “This is just a Band-Aid,” Kasa says. “We really have to figure out how we can fund the research piece.”

Rock journalist Joel Selvin explores the chaos that followed the death of Jerry Garcia BY WALLACE BAINE
L
et’s be clear—Joel Selvin’s new book is not about the Grateful Dead. Technically, it’s about the ruins of the Grateful Dead. It’s about what happened when Jerry Garcia, the band’s lodestar and spiritual
HOT TICKET
leader, died. It’s about the vacuum that Garcia’s death left behind, and the collateral damage that followed. Rock bands dealing with (or not dealing with) the death of their members is an old and tired story. But the Grateful Dead wasn’t just
a rock band. It was an industry, a mission, a society, a stand-alone entertainment empire. And Garcia was no ordinary rock guitarist. He was the embodiment of the hippie principle that gave the band its mystique.

Chronicle, Selvin has been covering the Dead for decades and he was perfectly positioned to watch how the band dealt with the death of its icon. Garcia died in his sleep in August 1995 at the age of 53. Despite a series of well-publicized health issues due partly to addiction and bad habits, nobody was anticipating Garcia’s demise, says Selvin. “They had no contingencies in place whatsoever,” he says. “They had never contemplated life without Jerry. He had almost died, had been in a coma, had been in a long, slow recovery and never returned to healthy living, but continued on in these bad habits. But those guys were stunned. They just couldn’t believe it.” Today, three of the four surviving members of the Dead—guitarist Bob Weir, drummer Bill Kreutzmann and percussionist Mickey Hart— are in the midst of a big summer tour as Dead & Company, which also includes guitarist John Mayer. (Dead & Company comes to Shoreline Amphitheatre July 2 and 3). Also, bassist Phil Lesh has performed in a duo with Weir as recently as last March. Since Garcia’s death, there have been a number of spin-off bands featuring one or more of the surviving members that sought to fill the Jerry-sized void: RatDog, The Other Ones, Phil Lesh & Friends, Further, The Dead. All four members came together for a hugely lucrative 50th anniversary tour in 2015. But these reunions and collaborations paper over a fraught history, says Selvin. It has taken more than 20 years for the living Dead to find its equilibrium again. “The first thing they could manage to do—and it took four months to get around to doing that— was to put out a press release saying that they’ll never perform as the Grateful Dead again,” says Selvin of those first weeks post-Jerry. “It just didn’t make any sense. It destroyed a perfectly good asset for these guys. Frankly, it was the same kind of instinctual foot-shooting that the band has specialized in since the very beginning. But it was a product
of this immense grief, and that’s what this book to me is about: These guys fell into this incredible pit of grief and their world was so turned over by it that they each had to find out who they were and what the Grateful Dead was to them, and who they were to each other.” Of the four remaining members of the band, Hart and Weir participated in a series of interviews. Kreutzmann contemplated sitting for an interview, but ultimately decided against it, deciding to “take the high road.” Only Lesh did not respond to Selvin’s requests. The book also chronicles the Dead’s uniquely communal and democratic way of doing business and managing a multi-milliondollar empire, and how that method crumbled after Garcia’s death. “For the longest time, throughout the entire history of the Grateful Dead, all votes were unanimous,” says Selvin. “One no vote could stop something from going through.” What’s more, the Dead practiced an effective code of silence to outsiders when it came to their relations with each other. That façade cracked after Garcia’s death. Surviving members began writing letters to each other for public consumption. A prominent lawsuit involving Garcia’s estate aired even more dirty laundry. Something—some ineffable Grateful Dead magic—had broken. Selvin’s story eventually reflects back on Garcia and the way he held the band together by the sheer power of his personality. “Jerry was remarkable, in so many ways. His leadership style in that band was entirely passive,” says Selvin. “And he arranged the situation so that everyone else looked to him for his approval. Each one of those four guys thought Jerry Garcia was their best friend. They had no sense of each other, anything like that. What was it like? Think of spokes and a hub. That’s what it was like.” Joel Selvin, author of ‘Fare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of the Grateful Dead’s Long Strange Trip,’ will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 21. 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

MUSIC
SONGWRITER’S NOTEBOOK Barna Howard plays Flynn’s Cabaret on Sunday, June 17 and will record his third album this fall.
Old Soul Barna Howard’s eerie knack for capturing ’70s singer-songwriter aesthetic BY AARON CARNES he hopes to record this fall. It’s a pretty big shift for the singersongwriter, whose first two records were very much focused intimately on himself: Barna Howard (2012) and Quite a Feelin’ (2015). Both of those records evoke the sound, aesthetic and even the texture of ’70s soft rock singer-songwriters à la James Taylor and Gordon Lightfoot. In fact, both of the album covers look weathered and stylized to the point that you can imagine finding them in vintage record stores. The recording and the quality of the music gives the same feeling. These are lost ’70s acoustic gems, yet they were created this decade. “People have said that, ‘Oh you’re
an old soul, Barna.’ I take it as a compliment,” Howard says. “I just love that era, that sound, especially the old son writers. I don’t know why it’s always just clicked with me as far as a canvas to work with. It’s comfortable to be there, but I do try to push myself.” The third record will very likely sound similar to his first album in terms of style, but with better production, and, he says, some new tricks up his sleeve. Those first two records were not only incredibly personal, they were also tied very much to location. Howard grew up in Eureka, Missouri, a very rural, small town. The first record is about leaving that town, which he did roughly 15 years ago
INFO: Barna Howard plays at 7 p.m. on June 17 at Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

here’s a dive bar across the street from where singer-songwriter Barna Howard lives in Portland, Oregon. He was sitting there one day when he saw a man who he was acquainted with looking distraught, so much that he seemed like he needed to cry, but wouldn’t let himself do it. “I looked at him and then I thought, ‘Man just let it go.’ He was holding it in,” Howard says. “I wrote a song called ‘Corner of Your Eye’ about that guy. It’s a song about men not wanting to cry in public.” This is one tune of many that people will hear on Howard’s as-ofyet-unreleased third album, which
in his early 20s. The second one is reflective, looking back at his smalltime life, contrasting it with his life in the big city, and looking for meaning within that juxtaposition. From his album Quite a Feelin’, the lyrics from his song “Indiana Rose” exemplify this perfectly. (“Because that old song was all we left behind/ Those regrets, I feel ’em all the time/The love we once had, it’s hard to find/Now it’s hard to know.”) Needless to say, his small-town upbringing factored in to his music in a significant way. “I never lived the city life. I was about 21 when I moved to Chicago, that was the first time. I was blown away,” he says. “I didn’t belong there, but I also did. I think once I got to the city, or once I got out of Missouri, I just all of a sudden was wanting to write songs. I was like ‘Oh shit, I’ll write about that now.’” Oddly, it was once he was in Chicago that he really honed his “rustic” sound, which came by way of record hunting in the city’s numerous record stores. He discovered all of these brilliant songwriters from the ’70s that clicked with his sensibilities. “I just started listening to a lot of country and folk singer-songwriters. I got inspired. It was like ‘I think I can do this,’” Howard says. Now on this third record, he’s not really looking back at his small-town roots anymore. In fact, he’s not really looking much at himself. “Each song will be about a person that I know. They’ll unknowingly have a song written about them,” he says. “It could be sad, it could be upbeat. I’m writing about, in a sense, what I know.” Howard says he had major writer’s block last year, as well some tough times personally. But things have changed this year as he’s reshaped what he wants to write about and has gotten things on track again. “I think I was denying some material that was always in front of me. I kind of reminded myself what it meant to write a song, what the process is, and kind of stripped back. It started out easy and it filled it back up again,” Howard says.

LOCAL BAND
BOBCAT ROB Back in 2013, while living in Lee Vining, musician Bobcat Rob fulfilled a lifelong dream: Recording a solo album. He’d been a musician for years. Originally from New Jersey, he moved out to California and moved around from place to place. He’d had bands, and even released some records, but this one was different. “It’s something I wanted to do, I had full control over it and I could do whatever I wanted. I took my time with it,” Rob says. That solo record, which is a mostly acoustic, gritty Americana-inspired record, led to plenty of solo gigs, and eventually a love for the city of Santa Cruz, where he relocated roughly four years ago. With his band Abalone Grey on an indefinite hiatus, Rob has had the time and focus to work on his follow-up record, A Different Horse, which will be released this summer.
JUNE 13-19, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“I was accumulating a lot of the songs that are on this new album. They were written while I was in or right after I was in that band,” Rob says.
40
This new record is a different horse. It’s got a full band sound, a lot of energy, and unlike the first record, all the instruments are not played exclusively by him. The country and Americana roots influences are still intact, but now the music is much more urgent and busting at the seams with immediacy and emotion. As of late he’s been consistently playing with a backing band, The Nightly Howl. “The material has grown from where I was at five years ago,” Rob says. “It’s a big jump from what I’ve done before.” AARON CARNES

ROYAL JELLY JIVE
WEDNESDAY 6/13 ALT-COUNTRY
MARGO CILKER Margo Cilker makes “cowgirl music from San Francisco.” What’s the distinction here? Maybe it’s the fact that she opens her newest EP, California Dogwood, with a line about a “lonely painter” renting a “cold room” on the coast. Otherwise, this is stark southern acoustic-style music that you’d expect attached to the word country (or at least “real” country as some roots enthusiasts have come to refer to it as). Cilker brings an intense, deeply sad emotionality to her music that brings to mind some of the darker Lucinda Williams material. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10 ($7 with cowboy boots). 429-6994.
THURSDAY 6/14 FOLK
PAT HULL Melodic, light and dreamy, Pat Hull’s music has everything in it to put a smile on your face. Based out of Chico, Hull writes songs that are reminiscent of Neil Young, Bonnie Prince Billy and M. Ward. He is

Hull will be joined on stage with the alt-country sounds of Dan Too and the return of Santa Cruz string band, MAJK. MAT WEIR INFO: 7:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

ROYAL JELLY JIVE On a mission to “spread the jelly,” San Francisco soul outfit Royal Jelly Jive calls to mind the jazz clubs of old, with dimmed lights, smoke-filled air, and swinging music deep into the early hours. Blending funk, soul, horns and infectious grooves, the band, led by frontwoman Lauren Bjelde, throws it back to the old school in all the right ways. Over four years, two albums, and countless live shows, Royal Jelly Jive has established itself as a Bay Area favorite. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.
FOLK
KINGSTON TRIO In the late ’50s and early ’60s, folk revival group the Kingston Trio was a huge pop hitmaker. The group played two acoustic guitars, a banjo, insanely catchy hooks and a near-constant wall of vocal harmonies to not only climb the charts, but to help kick off the folk revival that came to epitomize the ’60s counter-culture. The trio themselves, with their matching striped shirts and harmless storytelling lyrics weren’t exactly counter-culture icons, though without blazing a trail to the charts, groups like Peter Paul and Mary and Dylan may not have reached the number of ears that they did. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $30. 423-8209.

Hailing from Pennsylvania, Kimock headed west in the mid-1970s to join the Goodman Brothers, a folk-rock group in San Francisco. From there, he was woven into the area’s inimitable music history, collaborating with members of Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Grateful Dead and more. Kimock remains a boundary-pushing musician fusing Eastern sounds with American roots music and psychedelia. As Frets magazine writes, “Kimock’s acoustic aesthetic comes entirely from another place.” CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 423-1338.

Bust out the fried chicken and get ready for a mind melting experience of the musical kind, because Buckethead returns to the Catalyst. The anonymous guitar noodler has more than 291 albums and has worked with a plethora of musicians from Les Claypool to Axl Rose. Whether with a band or just backed by a track, the virtuoso shreds through a wide range of musical tastes influenced by funk blues, electronic and even Michael Jackson. MW
duced. This is especially true of the late ’60s and ’70s as reggae took hold of the tiny island. We’ve lost a lot of legends over the years, so we are quite fortunate when some old school powerhouse vocalists roll through town. On Saturday, that group is the Mighty Diamonds, a vocal trio that formed in 1969. Not only that, but the group is still touring with all of its original members. They were known for several hits, including “Pass The Kouchie” which was covered (and sanitized) by Musical Youth in the ’80s as “Pass the Dutchie.” AC
Jazz bassist and composer Eric Revis is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished musicians of his generation and an important voice in the genre. Possessing a sound that legendary saxophonist, composer and bandleader Branford Marsalis described as “the sound of doom; big, thick, percussive,” Revis has captured the attention of the jazz world. On June 25, Revis and his quartet, comprising saxophonist Ken Vandermark, pianist Kris Davis and drummer Chad Taylor, hit the Kuumbwa. CAT JOHNSON

Honeymoon jitters leave viewers stranded ‘On Chesil Beach’ BY LISA JENSEN
B
ack in 1966, there was a low-key British movie called The Family Way, about young newlyweds too wracked with nerves, their families’ expectations, and their own inexperience to properly consummate their marriage. The situation was played for gentle, poignant humor, as the days wore on, and the already embarrassed young couple had to cope with wellmeaning interference from both families attempting to cheerlead them on and offer advice. The film gained attention at the time for launching star Hayley Mills out of
her Disney/Pollyanna box and into her first grown-up role. It seems like there are going to be faint echoes of The Family Way— without the humor—in the domestic drama, On Chesil Beach. Scripted by Ian McEwan, from his own novel, and directed by Dominic Cooke, it’s the story of a young couple navigating the first few hours of married life at a seaside hotel on the evening of their wedding day. But in this case, the fateful wedding night doesn’t just launch the story; it is the story. Yes, its aftermath plays out into the future in a couple of brief,
clumsy time-shifts at the very end of the movie. And their early relationship as the couple falls in love is told in flashbacks throughout the day in that hotel room. But sloppy, inconsistent storytelling keeps us from getting caught up in the tale’s emotional core, and the audience, too, leaves unsatisfied. The story is set in 1962, just before the ’60s began to swing. Florence (Saoirse Ronan) and Edward (Billy Howle) arrive at a nice hotel on the Dorset coast to begin their honeymoon. It’s late afternoon, and after a walk on the beach, their nervous attempts to become more
intimate are interrupted, first by a pair of buffoony comic waiters, but mostly by a series of flashbacks to their courtship. She’s the daughter of wealthy, snobby society parents, who plays violin with a string quartet she founded at Oxford. He’s a workingclass scholar who earned a First in History, also at Oxford, and maintains his good cheer, despite his addled Mum (Anne-Marie Duff). But his mum and family adore Florence (her winning them over provides some of the movie’s best scenes), and the couple have come to the altar with their future together looking bright. But it turns out there’s a skeleton in the closet of Florence’s past, making their wedding night extra fraught. Matters aren’t made any easier by the fact that they are both virgins. McEwan’s point seems to be that, in a repressed era when sex is simply not discussed, demons remain unexorcised, and consequences can be severe, reaching out their menacing tentacles to affect lives far into the future. But McEwan and Cooke can’t get a grip on their narrative. Most of the story proceeds from Edward’s viewpoint, so it often seems like he’s being victimized by Florence’s mystifying behavior. Then, a pivotal decision he makes half an hour before the movie’s end alters that scenario—but it’s withheld from the audience until literally the last few frames of the film. Maybe the story played better on the page, where the author had the luxury of time and space to grow his character motivations. On the other hand, I loved the movie Atonement, also based on a McEwan novel, and also depicting the ways that sexual fear and loathing might poison present and future lives. But that movie deployed a trenchant coda that crystallized the story’s themes with a wallop. No such coherent wrap-up occurs here. The story elements all seem to be in place, but the filmmakers never manage to turn the dross of pervasive melancholy into the gold of transcendent meaning. ON CHESIL BEACH ** (out of four) With Saoirse Ronan, Billy Howle, and AnneMarie Duff. Written by Ian McEwan. Directed by Dominic Cooke. A Bleecker Street release. Rated R. 110 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK HEARTS BEAT LOUD Nick Offerman and Kiersey Clemons star as a father and daughter who stumble into a viral internet hit, suddenly giving them an unexpected music career together. Will it be the feel-good agingbearded-dad-bonds-with-hipMillennial-daughter rock musical of the year? It’s a competitive category! But I’m going to go out on a limb and say yes. Directed by Brett Haley. Co-starring Toni Collette, Ted Danson and Blythe Danner. (PG-13) 97 minutes. (SP) INCREDIBLES 2 Normally, a sequel that takes 14 years to make is a dubious proposition. But for this follow-up to the megahit about a family of superheroes coming to grips with their powers—which is, if not the best Pixar film of all time, certainly in the conversation—I think we’ll all make an exception.

MOUNTAIN For people who love climbing documentaries, but just felt Everest was a little too specific, comes … Mountain! Full of epic images that probably should be experienced on the big screen, the film features breathtaking footage of the highest peaks in the world. Directed by Jennifer Peedom. Narrated by Willem Dafoe. (PG) 74 minutes. (SP)

TAG Based on a true story, this based-on-a-true-story comedy about a group of based-on-atrue-story guys who carry on a lifelong game of tag is based on a true story! Seriously, try to sit through one trailer for it or look at a single piece of marketing without learning how based on a true story it is. You know it’s bad when the marketing people are like, “Isn’t there anything good about this movie? Well, it’s … based on a true story!” Directed by Jeff Tomsic. Starring Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms and Isla Fisher. Based on a true story! (R) 100 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) 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) FIRST REFORMED In 1976, Paul Schrader wrote the incendiary script for Taxi Driver, about a troubled loner so disgruntled by the corruption of modern life that he plots a horrifying act of violence. Since then, we can now add the ongoing destruction of the planet to the list of humanity's crimes — an issue Schrader addresses through another troubled protagonist in this powerful tale. Directing his own script, Schrader crafts a slowbuilding 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 purpose. Ethan Hawke plays the part with the desperate selfcontrol of someone who knows he's teetering on the edge of the abyss. (R) 117 minutes. (LJ) Co-starring Amanda Seyfried, Cedric Kyles and Victoria Hill. (R) 113 minutes. (LJ) 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) 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 Reviewed this issue. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Emily Watson and Billy Howle. Directed by Dominic Cooke. (R) 110 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) 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)
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) 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) UPGRADE After making his mark co-creating the Saw and Insidious horror franchises, Leigh Whannell is trying his hand at science fiction with this story of a near-future world where a man is able to use an experimental cybernetic chip to gain superhuman powers and avenge his wife’s murder. If you’re looking for ideas from several terrible movies smashed down into an hour and a half, this is the movie for you. Written and directed by Whannell. Starring Logan MarshallGreen and Betty Gabriel. (R) 95 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK TIDBITS
Happy second anniversary to Chris and Anna Reno’s Pour Taproom, made even better these days by Paul Figliomeni’s inventive in-house Surf City Kitchen pub menu created by chef Anthony Kresge (whose talent has fueled Shadowbrook’s kitchen and, more recently, started up Sotola Grill & Bar in Capitola.) Figliomeni opened Soquel’s Surf City Sandwich in 2015, and has now stepped in to collaborate with the downtown home of countless beers on tap. 110 Cooper St., Santa Cruz. Food and beer daily from 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and until 9 p.m. Sunday.
TIKI CORRECTION
Hula’s Island Grill serves lunch daily except for Monday. It opens at 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, just in time for those tempting Happy Hour drinks and pupus of Mahalo Monday.

New Leaf’s deli section saves a lunchtime dilemma, Pour Taproom turns two, and a GF product of the week BY CHRISTINA WATERS
I
t was a lunch review that was not to be. No place to park! We drove a circle ’round it thrice (apologies to Coleridge)—the downtown of Santa Cruz that is—but between the endless orange cones of city work crews and my hobbled post-surgery right foot, found no parking spots within walking distance, and decided to cut our losses and head back toward home. The Westside New Leaf was on our radar for some emergency lunch supplies. And when we got back home we laid out an intriguing array of found foods, starting with a custom green smoothie called Green Gardens. From two containers
of Shakti Indian entrees ($7.99 each)—liberated from New Leaf’s very well-stocked deli shelves—we piled our plates with saffron rice, intense spinachy palak paneer, a thick dahl, and a lentil coconut curry studded with spiced carrots, cauliflower and peas. We applied a bit of microwave heat, a dash of Patak’s Hot Mango Chutney and a splash of Sriracha. Don’t be afraid to customize whatever you grab from the brimming deli section—make it your own! Jack added a side helping of his favorite Epicurean Solutions curried tofu with cashews and currants ($4.50)
Fresh organic cherries, at their absolute dark crimson peak, created our dessert. And the emerald green health drink, loaded with celery, ginger, lemon, kale and cucumber, was a serious thirstquencher ($7). Our super veggie lunch items made an outstanding alternative to the sandwich. But I’m still hoping to get to my downtown destination sometime in the next few weeks. I might need to re-think transportation options into the very heart of Santa Cruz. Parking is a major challenge just now. (I will not be using one of those red motorized bikes!) Stay tuned!
Glutino brand makes some tasty gluten-free products. And our new favorite is a surprisingly delicious English muffin with luscious mouthfeel. The multi-grain is the best, but even the plain vanilla version (that’s a metaphor: it’s actually a blend of tapioca and rice flours) is excellent too. Of course the whole point of the English muffin is its texture, and that’s where gluten-free breads and pastries are often most challenged. Glutino’s muffins offer an appealing texture, slightly chewy, tender, and in the case of the multi-grain variety, loaded with something close to crunch, thanks to flax seed, sunflowers seeds, brown rice, and millet flour. No one would ever mistake these for the real deal, but they make a very nice platform for lots of butter and jam over a cup of serious Italian roast coffee. Not exactly cheap—roughly $1 per muffin, i.e., $6 per six-pack. But if you are avoiding gluten, these babies are like a hit of pure oxygen, a jolt of actual flavor and texture. In other words, they are worth every penny. We keep some in our freezer 24/7. Available everywhere.

Packing Bowls Santa Cruz Poke’s small business makes a big splash BY GEORGIA JOHNSON
S
anta Cruz Poke is a roll in a bowl—only better. Owner Brook Penquite and his family opened the Capitola store nine months ago. Penquite prepares each and every poke bowl himself six days a week, all in an 80-square-foot kitchen. They offer five different proteins (including a signature tofu), several base options, healthy sauces, and more toppings than you can count on two hands. Penquite also pickles his own ginger and makes his own furikake mix—a combination of toasted sesame seeds, seaweed and bonito fish flakes. Santa Cruz Poke bowls are a win-win for the mind and body, and a guaranteed summer go-to.
What made you open this place? BROOK PENQUITE: Capitola needed it. We’ve been coming down here for over a decade. We wanted something that was fresh and quick, we could go down to the beach or ride our bikes and eat good, healthy food. So we thought we’d create it ourselves. This location used to be a coffee shop, and we drove into the village and saw it was for lease and it all fell in line from there.
What makes your food unique? It’s more on the healthy, Hawaiian side. I have traditional Lomi Lomi which a lot of places don’t carry, and I have rice and quinoa, shirataki yam noodles, tofu and organic gluten-free toppings. I also make seasonal salads in-house. I created a menu that is healthy and accessible for anyone, whether you’re a glutenfree, vegan or have food allergies.
Where do you source your fish from? Royal Hawaiian Seafood in San Francisco—the only Northern California distributor that partners with the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch Program. Tuna is endangered, and in the restaurant industry it’s tough to go toward something you are negatively impacting. A lot of people just get into the business to make money. They will use thousands of pounds of fish per week. We have a small business and it’s all environmentally and sourceconscious, from the compostability of our materials to our grease traps, it’s all small footprint. 115 San Jose Ave., Capitola. 854-2888. santacruzpoke.com.

Bottle Jack Cellars Syrah-Grenache 2014 is a fierce wine of the Santa Cruz Mountains BY JOSIE COWDEN
I
t’s not every day that a wine scores top-of-the-line awards—100 points at the California State Fair and a double gold medal. This is Bottle Jack Cellars’ fabulous Syrah-Grenache 2014, a luscious blend of 89.4 percent Syrah and 10.6 percent Grenache. Kudos go to owner and winemaker John Ritchey for this outstanding elixir awash with blackberry, red cherry, white pepper, cedar, and dark chocolate. We headed to Bottle Jack’s tasting room on the edge of Santa Cruz—up a bucolic winding road surrounded by redwoods. Word has spread about Ritchey’s wonderful wines, and the tasting room was busy on a Sunday afternoon. I was impressed with every wine Ritchey poured for us, but I fell madly in love with the Syrah-Grenache ($35). Grapes for this wine were harvested in the Santa Cruz Mountains and aged in oak barrels for 30 months, resulting in what Ritchey calls “a fierce and unique wine from this region.” Ritchey and his wife Katharine are a team in the business and are truly dedicated to making superb wines. Ritchey is now sharing space in Silver Mountain Vineyards’ tasting
room in the Swift Street Courtyard complex in Santa Cruz—open every weekend. Check the website for opening times of both locations. Some Bottle Jack wines are available at Cantine Winepub in Aptos Village. Try Bottle Jack’s beautiful Viognier paired with Arugula Salad ($9) and Cantine’s fingerling potatoes with chimichurri ($8)—a tasty trio of food and wine. bottlejackwines.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES KRISHNA & ARJUNA, SOUL, PERSONALITY & A WAR The week begins with a Wednesday new moon at 23 degrees Gemini, sign of the two brothers, one the personality (its light waning), the other, the Soul (I grow and glow). In Gemini we see “instability doing its work.” The purpose of instability in relationships is to help us, exhausted with conflicts, seek harmony and balance which comes with Soul direction. The Soul eventually shows itself and says with compassion to the struggling personality, “Here, let me help you. I am the Soul, I am Light Divine. I am Love, I am Will. And perfect in my design. I am your Soul.” When the Soul begins to direct the lower self, the personality is able to adjust to a more calm and harmonious livingness. Gemini points out the relationship between personality (self) and Soul (Self). It is the story of Krishna (Teacher) and Arjuna (student). Krishna woke Arjuna early one morning and told him to look outside. There in the fields a
war was proceeding. On both sides of the war Arjuna saw family members. Krishna told Arjuna to choose a side to fight on. Arjuna refused to choose. With great kindness Krishna informed his student the purpose of the choice and the battle—he was to discern which side represented the Soul and which side represented the personality. And to then choose where he stands. Our present world situation, especially the U.S., is experiencing both an Arjuna lesson and predicament. The polarized political players represent the two warring parties. Humanity is Arjuna, needing to discern and discriminate between the two—the stable Soul qualities from the personality fluctuations. One sings, the other doesn’t. Things (appearances) are not what they seem. And so, onto this week: Flag Day (Thursday), Father’s Day (Sunday), Neptune retrogrades (Monday), in our last week of Spring.

You want to learn more, to communicate with intelligence. You’re curious; seek sensation and variety, instinctively cheerful and carefree. You’re restless, want to be with humanity, yet feel a bit distanced. You want to interact, walk neighborhoods, talk to siblings, be active, gather information, ponder upon and share it. You have errands to do, people to contact, letters (emails) to write. Visualize all this first.
It’s important to search out the truth concerning all decisions, activities and choices in your life up till now. This is because previous ways of life will soon become worn. You seek a new vision in life with new goals, new ways of interacting. Everything is an adventure for you. You will find emotional needs changing. This comes subtly. It’s important to have Right Relations with everyone in the family. Forgiveness liberates you.
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
All you want is a bit of peace and quiet, a place of repose, comfort and tranquility. Your need is to unwind and begin to heal old wounds. You need to be out in the Sun, in the gardens, tending to the soil, the plants, the grasses, working with the devas. You also must tend seriously to things financial concerning resources. You’re slow when it comes to cleaning and disposing of material possessions. Yet this must be done soon.
You hide a very vital part of yourself until you feel a sense of trust. You hide elation and sorrow, desires and misgivings, emotions, likes and dislikes, passion and pain. Some understand you, many don’t. When the moon enters Scorpio each month, you are urged to go even more undercover, to retreat into solitude where you assess fears and inhibitions. Brooding is your second nature. Brooding is a good thing. It fosters revelation and helps bring visions into materialization.
GEMINI May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
You want to begin anew. You don’t know where or how. You feel a pioneering impulse; you’re ready, willing and filled with enthusiasm. However, there are so many avenues available, choosing can be difficult. Making the choice, each day, with dedication to stand under the Light of the Soul, under the Will-to-Good, helps in making Right Choice. This is a challenge for you. Steadfastness. Just begin. Visualize.
Creating harmonious interactions with everyone, externally and internally (how we act, what we feel) is important. This means internally having the intention for Goodwill, which creates Right Relations. Experiencing this from the heart creates a deep love and intelligent activity in all environments and interactions. This type of activity creates diplomacy and the peace everyone seeks. Although you can see both sides, choose from Goodwill. Right direction follows.
Esoteric astrology as news for week of June 13, 2018
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Sometimes you must break the rules. The need for freedom makes old rules awkward and difficult. So often you must express your independence and uniqueness. It’s good to find a group that recognizes, admires, applauds and supports your creative individuality. You need activity, more people around, more of the world in order to have a sense of uplifted well-being. You need things bright and beautiful. Plant blue morning glories.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Each day we experience different states of consciousness. A disciple is one who is aware of these different stages, within the self and in others. Disciples learn (and thus teach by example) to be aware of all actions and their outcomes. We learn about our role in society, a most important task for Capricorns. We learn to protect the kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human, angels). It is our destiny. You are already a leader. Now, day by day, more so.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Aquarians (part of the New Group of World Servers) are responsible for humanity’s evolution by bringing the future into the present, a major task of building the new culture and civilization. In between this weighty task you need a variety of experiences and light-hearted interactions to soothe restlessness and the deep need for human contact. Contact releases love. Make intentional contact.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22
PISCES Feb19–Mar20
You sense a need for more planning, order and structure. So the future can unfold according to your needs. You feel limited from time, by time. Sometimes you feel you haven’t done enough. You want to feel successful. This is most important. And so you become more resourceful, are careful of time and energy and the right use of resources. You are serious and productive. You thrive in gardens.
You need quiet places, peaceful environments, a sense of belonging providing solace and safety. With these conditions met you’re able to heal wounds, accomplish your unique spiritual and worldly tasks, discover feelings, hopes and aspirations that direct your life and motivate your specific ability to serve. Balance each day with gratitude and the awareness that your needs must come before assisting in the needs of others. Plant violet morning glories.

Things are a bit dreamy. You feel sensitive and susceptible. Your imagination is in full force, filled with impressions and pictures. There seems to be no boundaries, everything blending together, creating very interesting situations. Details are unavailable at this time. Things are just too mystical with spiritual developments occurring everywhere. It’s time for a retreat into the garden of joy.

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!
