2=<¸B 0:/;3 D71B7;A IN RESPONSE to Lindsey Babcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that patients cover all the financial burden for diseases linked to lifestyle (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linking Lifestyle to Health Care,â&#x20AC;?

Posts, May 25): Be careful! Even though there certainly is a statistical correlation between lifestyle choices to many diseases, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that people cause their own cancer or diabetes or heart problems. For every person who is obese and has type II diabetes, for example, there are people who get the disease who have done everything right to the best of their ability, and their body is still sick;

there are also people who have knowingly made bad health choices who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sick.

Diseases affect populations across the board, as well as individuals.

The fact that you call yourself a healthcare graduate makes me very nervous about the upcoming wave of health-care workers in America. Your mean-spirited and fingerpointing tone highlights a holier-than-thou attitude that is dangerous in a caregiver. The sick people you will be tending to in your career will desperately need your compassion in order to heal from disease. More guilty feelings and more debt will not get anyone well.

If you want a crusade, fight for health education and disease prevention, and fight

the underlying trends that allow so many people to get sick. Why are so many obese people getting diabetes? Do they have access to fresh, healthy food? Do they have the time and space to cook at home? Have they ever been modeled healthy eating patterns?

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on these issues instead. The health-care system will save more money if fewer people are getting sick.

Sarah Eve Zell Santa Cruz

A3:47A6 47B<3AA 8C<973A IT IS ODIOUS to witness the joyous faces of jogging parents pushing baby carriages filled with toddlers in need of learning to walk as well as fully grown 3- and 4-yearolds who have obviously outgrown these contraptions. Their little faces are universally the very picture of anguish and physical torture. Children are keenly aware of selfish behavior that comes at their expense.

Not only the obvious denial of their own need to develop muscle memory, but the future devoted to therapy necessary to undo the already visible contempt for their parents. How about the greater impact of teaching our young that mobility requires conveyance? Much is lost these days in pursuit of personal convenience. And while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware that addictions can create blind spots in our awareness that create pain for our loved ones, there is a smugness about these people that especially rankles. The junkie mentality that deludes itself into thinking there is a special loophole just for them when it comes to balancing selfishness with consideration for other. It is just as disturbing to see such child abuse for the gratification of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highâ&#x20AC;? as it would being forced to watch someone tie off and shoot up in front of their kids. Fitness is just as dangerous as any other addiction, and to think otherwise is like a drinker who believes sipping only expensive wines makes them something other than a drunk.

STREET SIGNS

Night at The Speakeasy I STEPPED into the dimly lit room and I knew this would be a night different from the rest.

I checked my pocket watch, tipped my hat, straightened my tie and vest and walked to the bar. The thick, red curtains matched the velvety atmosphere of downtown Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 515 restaurant. I looked around the room, seeing the familiar faces of the dolled-up gals with perfectly curled hair, their red lipstick as vibrant as pomegranates. A lone, female wail, as heavy as molasses and twice as sweet, pierced the silence and a big band orchestra struck up a tune. A group of dapper gents, dressed to the nines complete with spit-shined shoes, slyly smiled at their ladies and in a minute the f loor was alive

with foxtrots and jitterbugs. A rare sight to be seen in most places, it was just another night at Sides Speakeasy hosted by DJ Tom LG. Every Monday night DJ Tom weaves a web through time, spinning period music from the original 45, 78 and 33 rpm vinyl records. With every hiss and pop his trap is set, luring more and more people in the door. As the music picks up speed, f lowing dresses spin across the room like f lowers, fresh with life. Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Rosey, works her own magic, taking candid snapshots of the dancers on film (yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, film), perfectly matching the rhythm of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tunes.

As last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night wore on, empty glasses (or dead soldiers, to those hip to the slang) filled the tables while dirty jazz and laughter danced in the air. Conversation after conversation made it clear that a night at the Speakeasy is more than just an evening spent in nostalgic romance. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it hit me: Above anything else, the Speakeasy is about carving out a piece of serenity in a high-speed world. This is a place where people can open the doors to their future with the keys of their past. And as I walked out into the cold air of 2011, I knew that the next trip through time was only a week away.

All Hope Is Not Lost

Debt is up and employment is down, but hope springs eternal for new college grads

I

BY MAYA WEEKS

IN A TIME when student loan debt surpasses credit card debt and a state where public higher education costs more than a new fully loaded SUV, just about the only people who remain optimistic about the future are the professional counselors. Those about to walk across the stage in this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commencement ceremonies are nervous and just grateful they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t graduate at the peak of the recession in 2009.

After graduation, most UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz graduates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay in Santa Cruz. Blame it on Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sky-high unemployment rateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a mind-

numbing 14.7 percentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or the lack of opportunities for growth.

April Goral, career adviser for Arts, Humanities and Education at UCSC, explains it this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some alums remain since they have offcampus housing or want to surf; others give back through the work they pursue outside of Santa Cruz.

Since Santa Cruz is a tourist town, professional jobs are difficult to find.â&#x20AC;?

Tiffany Loftin, the first in her family to graduate from college, majored in American Studies with a minor in politics. She hopes the experience of serving at UCSC as chair of the Student Union Association will give her

For the class of 2010, 58 percent of interns were converted to full-time hires.â&#x20AC;?

Better Than Last Year Come fall, art and psychology major Chelsea Ware is moving to the Bay Area to dance professionally; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also looking for a job in teaching or art therapy.

If sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unable to find satisfactory employment in the cutthroat job market, she could always start her own business. Just because there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many career jobs available doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no hope for recent grads willing to take a risk, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly been a better time to start a business.

Consider the super-success story of the Penny Ice Creamery, whose co-owner, Kendra Baker, graduated from UCSC in 2001 with a degree in Language Studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many students,â&#x20AC;? Silverthorne contends, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are inf luenced by pessimistic economic reports in the media. If they were to do some investigating, they would find that the outlook is not as bad as they think.â&#x20AC;?

Whether embarking on graduate studies, entering the job market or pursuing an alternative path, the most important asset for an ambitious college graduate, says Silverthorne, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a positive attitude.

The job outlook,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is better than it has been for the past two or three years.â&#x20AC;? Some statistics bear this out: hiring is up 19.5 percent for the graduating class of 2011 compared to 2010, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

This generation may think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first to face an uncertain future, but the economy has been through periods like this before. In 1983, when Silverthorne graduated, 3

an edge applying for a position as field coordinator at the NAACP; nonetheless, she anticipates moving back in with her mom in Los Angeles â&#x20AC;&#x153;to figure out what my next steps will beâ&#x20AC;? after graduating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to take pride in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve achieved, and not be discouraged by what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be hard; there are no jobs out there whatsoever, but we have to remember to give back and make things better.

Our parents are proud of us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of all the graduating seniors.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really long, dramatic, exciting experience, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it back for anything.â&#x20AC;?

UCSC, known for its innovative approach to education, produces highly sought-after graduates, especially in the fields of engineering and business. Yet not even straightA students from the class of 2011 expect to find career jobs.

Allison Chapple, a Health Sciences major, is emerging from UCSC with an expensive degree but without the hands-on experience to give her confidence in her field. Despite two years of work at Santa Cruz Biotechnology, she says she feels â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely unprepared to do anything with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, at least for biology.â&#x20AC;? She adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I have all this theoretical knowledge, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really applied it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating to look at biology-related jobs without any actual hands-on experience. I know theoretically how everything is done, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never actually done it.â&#x20AC;?

An internship might be a good next step for Chapple, who eventually wants to be a doctor.

Internships, according to Barbara Silverthorne, director of the UCSC Career Center, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are the new interview. Many companies are hiring interns with the intention of testing out the fit between the intern and the company and converting as many interns as possible to full-time employees.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unemployment rate was similar. At that time I heard all the same predictions you are hearing now. Contrary to what you hear, companies are not necessarily hiring the more qualified candidates. As the economy rebounds, employers are interested in new college graduates because they do not command the high salaries of seasoned professionals, they contribute energy and new ideas and they are open to learning the company culture.â&#x20AC;?

Yet in 1983, higher education cost nowhere near as much as it does now, and graduates werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bearing the massive amounts of debt that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grads are. UCSC financialaid director Ann Draper says that for the 2009-10 school year, 38 percent of all undergraduate UCSC students received student loans, and 53 percent of students who began UCSC as freshmen and graduated in 2010 took out loans to complete their undergraduate educations.

On average, students borrowed $15,888â&#x20AC;&#x201D;$3,000 more than a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tuition ($12,732) for a full-time student who is a California resident.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much, given the cost of living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow students are surviving without taking out all the loans they could,â&#x20AC;? Draper says.

Students are surviving because they have no other options.

Many work throughout their undergraduate careers to pay for school or for their living expenses. Chappleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job at Santa

Cruz Biotechnology enables her to afford living in Santa Cruz, and Michael Geneauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job in his field of Environmental Studies as a habitat restorationist at Younger Lagoon has kept him from having to take out loans.

According to Draper, it takes around 10 years to pay off the average loan of $15,900. A variety of loan repayment plansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including direct loan services, incomecontingent repayment plans and loan forgiveness programs for careers in public service, the military or volunteeringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;creates a f lexible time frame for repayment, and Draper insists that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is still true in this country that the higher your level of education, the higher your earning power.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, according to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, college graduates earn on average $15,000 more annually than high school graduates. Nonetheless, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates may question whether their UC educations were worth the high prices. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing they agree on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finished with their degrees as UC tuition costs skyrocket.

Says Chapple, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done now. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine being a freshman right now.â&#x20AC;?

Thought leaders and creatives convene in Santa Cruz this weekend at a regional version of the great idea conference

BY TESSA STUART

J

JONATHAN TRENT has an idea, and he wants to share it. If executed correctly, Trent reckons it could clean our oceans, clean our atmosphere and produce a whole lot of oil. It could make him a very rich man. So why does he want to give it away? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason I go around and talk about it is because if you look at the trajectory that the world is on, unless we get some good alternative to fossil fuels weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going

Trent says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even more serious than the one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already having.â&#x20AC;?

Trent, a NASA scientist, likes to tell a story that illustrates the necessity of finding a new energy source. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the founders of OPEC was asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen when we run out of oil?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Trent says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, the Stone Age didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end because we ran out of stones.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The oil age is going to end when we find an alternative that will make oilâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;fossil oilâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more or less obsolete.â&#x20AC;?

His idea, called OMEGA (Offshore Membrane Enclosures for Growing Algae), involves pumping wastewater into membranes, instead of into the ocean like we do now, and growing algae inside. ¨ "

Microalgae, Trent says, is more productive in terms of yield than the other biofuels currently under cultivation. Soybeans, for example, yield 50 gallons per acre per year of oil; an acre of microalgae can produce 2,000â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5,000 gallons in that time frame. At the same time, algae captures carbon dioxide and converts it into oxygen, effectively neutralizing the molecule that is eating away at the ozone layer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We clean the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently dumping wastewater into the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so we clean up our wastewater, we capture the nutrients and we bring that back for fertilizer, we grow our algae that are used for making oil,â&#x20AC;? Trent says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and these same algae are sequestering carbon that would otherwise be going out into the atmosphere.â&#x20AC;?

Trent is currently working on a feasibility study for OMEGA funded by the California Energy Commission and NASA. In the meantime, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going around talking about the project in the hopes of getting other people as excited about it as he is.

Which is what this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TEDx conference is all aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;ideas worth spreading.â&#x20AC;?

TED stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technology, Entertainment, and Design.â&#x20AC;? At the annual TED conference, which started in Monterey in 1990 (in 2009 it relocated to Long Beach), the best minds in their fields are called upon to give speeches about the most provocative ideas theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve encountered. At $6,000 per ticket, though, the best ideas were only spreading within certain circles.

Beginning in 2006, TED began posting talks online, so anyone with an Internet connection could hear the ideas, and starting last year, the conference began offering free franchises for communities to create local events. TEDx Santa Cruz will take place for the first time this Saturday, June 11, when 20 local luminaries take the stage to spread their big ideas.

Game On After she graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in fine art photography, Catherine Aurelio packed up a U-Haul and drove to

Monterey Bay, where one of her first jobs was at a little print shop across from the hotel where the original TED conference was held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speakers at TED would come over to have conference materials copied and so on, so I got to actually see a lot of the presentations,â&#x20AC;? she says, laughing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I was making copies of them.â&#x20AC;? She has a particularly vivid memory of helping twin brothers who had traveled for 15 years as photojournalists documenting conflicts around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so floored by their presentation and by TED in generalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what it was and what it meantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I so desperately wanted to go. I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gosh, someday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to go to TED.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Today, Aurelio is a user-experience expert and creative director for a Silicon Valley gamification company called Bunchball. She explains the concept behind her TEDx Santa Cruz talk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gamification is the application of game dynamics to nongaming environments,â&#x20AC;? Aurelio says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things like competitions, rewards.â&#x20AC;?

Aurelio and her colleagues at Bunchball outfit their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites with game elements so users can rack up points by doing things like participating in trivia contests or watching videos. The points they earn can then be redeemed for virtual goods, which can in turn be used for self-expression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have little pins and badges that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won for completing certain challenges and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got my little avatar and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dressed the way I want it to be dressed,â&#x20AC;? Aurelio says, adopting the perspective of a user. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see that my friends are online, and they are also doing those things.

Then there is a competitive element to it and a community element to it, and I can see that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now a part of something bigger and coolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very compelling way to get people to interact with online content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game designers have known for a very long time how to use those dynamics to make games interesting,â&#x20AC;?

Aurelio says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we do is apply those game dynamics to nongaming environments like a static kind of website to make them more engaging. Stickier.â&#x20AC;?

Like Aurelio, Rebecca Costa used to work in Silicon Valley, in her case as the CEO of a high-powered marketing firm with clients like Hewlett-Packard, Apple and Oracle.

Today, Costa hosts a weekly radio show on KSCO, a gig she got in part due to the success of her book, The Watchmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction, the inspiration for which came to her while she was working in the valley.

For companies, gamification translates to more time spent on their websites, more eyes on advertisements and more revenue generated. While the commercial opportunities for the technology are great, Aurelio says, she is even more excited about the prospect of applying the technology in noncommercial settingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for instance, by incentivizing kids (or adults, for that matter) to do things that they are not otherwise inclined to do.

One of Aurelioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients is trying to get more kids to exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have this little device that a kid can clip to his or her belt, and it measures bursts of activity. So, say if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running in place or playing a game like the Wii, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recording that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re active, and that activity is then sent and converted into points and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sent to the website.â&#x20AC;?

funding new technologies, one after the other, in rapid fire,â&#x20AC;? Costa says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And one of the things that became apparent was that the adaptation of the actual human biology, well, eventually it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to adapt at the pace that these new inventions were coming about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any civilization will eventually hit the limit of the human biology.

The complexity of the problems you have to solve at any point in time is challenged by the limits of the human organism itself,â&#x20AC;? Costa says.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I saw that there was a huge disconnect between how fast it took an organism to adapt and the pace at which societies were progressing.

Costaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic background is in sociobiology, which means when she goes looking for answers to questions, she looks for the intersection of the biological and the social. The premise of her book is that we are creating problems at such a rate that we will soon beâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alreadyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; constitutionally incapable of solving them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw that there was a huge disconnect between how fast it took an organism to adapt and the pace at which societies were progressing,â&#x20AC;?

takes millions of years, the other was moving at picoseconds. And eventually the two clocks were going to collide.â&#x20AC;?

In California, for example, we know that we live under the threat of drought. We have the technology to solve the problem, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become too politically gridlocked to do anything about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually the problem will be on top of us, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suddenly build desalination plants in one day all over the coast, so there will be cataclysmic consequences,â&#x20AC;? Costa says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is how civilizations come unraveled.â&#x20AC;?

How do we save ourselves, then?

One way, Costa says, would be to adopt the very same venture capitalist model that first alerted her to the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to bet high and accept a very large threshold of waste to stop a problem in its tracks,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Returning to the California drought example, conservation is certainly part of the answer, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to stake all our chips on just one solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to put desal plants in, reservoirs, [practice] conservation, allow people to collect their own rainwater in cisterns. You have to hit all those thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and some will pay big and some will be incredible failures, but if you try to bet it all on one type of program, you really put a society at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diversity is natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hedge against extinction,â&#x20AC;? Costa says.

She sees the TEDx conference as a microcosm of that diversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more things like the TED conference so that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re engendering more solutions, more diversity, and we need fewer popular programs like these right-wing talk show hosts who are telling everyone to think one way.â&#x20AC;?

MICHAEL EURSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; garden would be a lovely place to get lost. Tucked next to Soquel Creek, three miles upstream from Capitola Beach, the garden is a mystical expanse of native plants and roses, meandering paths, woodpile hideouts for lizards and snakes and the occasional bench for sitting and listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the garden should be a place of renewal, with winding paths that make you slow down and different areas to stop in. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve designed it almost like rooms in a house,â&#x20AC;? says Eurs, standing in his favorite â&#x20AC;&#x153;room,â&#x20AC;? where native blue wire grass and other creek natives surround a pond fashioned from an old hot tub he sank into the ground years ago.

Eursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; garden, which thrives on very little water and no fertilizer other than the composted waste from his kitchen, garden trimmings and chickens, is one of 12 native gardens slotted to open their gates to the public this Sunday for the First Annual California Native Garden Tour. The tour is a collaborative effort scraped together by local volunteers, the Ecological Landscaping Association, the UCSC Arboretum, Central Coast Wilds, California Native Plants Society, California Native Garden Foundation and Native Revival Nursery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most people think of natives as really scraggly and unattractive, but there are many beautiful ones, and once they

are established they take care of themselves,â&#x20AC;? says Lindsay Goldberg, tour organizer.

There is another reason for planting natives, though: the water savings. The well-manicured grass lawn is about as â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? as planting plastic bags; it takes an enormous amount of our dwindling supply of water, and the fertilizers and weedkillers required to maintain it are toxic to birds.

Local native gardens feature alternative native grasses like festuca rubra, which goes dormant in the summer, or the impressively tall Dr. Seuss-esque tufts of stipa, or blue wire grassâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a pretty knee-height mesh of blue-grey and rust-colored tubes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you just tear out part of your lawn and plant natives, you are going to save so much water,â&#x20AC;? says Goldberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the most important thing about planting natives is that it creates a habitat, little corridors throughout the neighborhood for butterflies and birds. If you plant, they will come,â&#x20AC;? says Goldberg.

Sure enough, standing in a native is like standing in the middle of an aviary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the five years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve listed all of the birds weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some are just seasonal, they

come to eat something and then they leave, and some stay all yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and we must be at 42 species,â&#x20AC;? says Ann Andrews, whose native garden sits serenely at the edge of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Her blooming monkey flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people came to California they brought their plants with them.

But what grew in Europe and on the East Coast doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work here,â&#x20AC;? says Eurs, who began his garden 17 years ago in land so overgrown with invasive plants you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even walk through it. Cape Ivy, native to South Africa, does not provide food for anything in our natural ecosystem and so it grows unhindered, smothering everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including treesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in its path. So how did it get from South Africa to Soquel Creek? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone planted it in their garden,â&#x20AC;? says Eurs.

<=0=2G¸A AB==53A THERE was a time in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s when the tag â&#x20AC;&#x153;socially conscious comedyâ&#x20AC;? served as a warning to tread very lightly. Sure, politically and culturally incendiary subject matter has played a crucial role in comedy for decades (if not centuries or millennia,) but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no easy feat to be politically righteous and still make â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em laugh. Fortunately, those grim days when the skills of socially conscious comedians were better suited to a lecture on crosscultural dialogue than the comedy club are long behind us. The comics who comprise Laughter Against the Machine strike just the right balance between fighting the good fight and flouting the sensitivity police. W. Kamau Bell may be the most instantly recognizable name on the marquee, the up-and-coming comic whose one-man show The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour is a bitingly hilarious look at Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy of racism in its many forms. Bell has earned a number of famous fans, among them Chris Rock, Margaret Cho and Robin Williams, and his CD Face Full of Flour is one of the most memorable comedy albums of recent years. The comedians joining Bell are no slouches, either. Nato Green, named SF Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Comedian of 2010 and the man behind SF Sketchfestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iron Chef parody Iron Comic, is a wickedly funny comedian who spares no sacred cow. Nor does Janine Brito, the tart-tongued Bay Area comic whose barbs are as sharp as her signature ensemble of jeans, vest and tie. In their own ways, all three comedians succeed in provoking their audience to thinkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but without sacrificing a single laugh along the way. (Paul M. Davis)

The Skatalites have been laying down rocksteady rhythms as tight as a snare drum since 1964, outlasting the numerous waves of ska revivalists theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve inspired. The ensemble served as a backing band to the likes of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh during its early years, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rock-solid instrumental arrangements that have insured the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immortality as a reggae legend. Any band thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at it for nearly five decades will suffer staff changes, and though the current incarnation only shares a couple members with the original lineup, the Skatalitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; musical vision remains true to this day. Catalyst; $13 adv/$16 door; 8:30pm. (Paul M. Davis)

One of the Devil Makes Threeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest assets is the tension between the songwriting styles of Pete Bernhard and Cooper McBean; McBeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affable drunkardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rags are an effective counterpoint to Bernhardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turpentinefueled sinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blues. McBean takes the spotlight with his backing side band the Vested Interests, performing a set of covers and originals from his debut solo EP Five Reasons Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Never Feel Clean Again. The overall sound is significantly different from the Devil Makes Three; electric and more directly countrified yet still boasting McBeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deft ragtime-flavored songwriting and wry lyrical wit. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $7 adv/$10 door; 8:30pm. (PMD)

Born in Arkansas and raised in Santa Rosa, Hicks cut his musical teeth in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s and early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s playing singer/songwriter tunes in northern Californian coffee shops. Since then, he has crafted his gift into an eclectic blend of witty and upbeat jazz, oldtimey folk, blues, country and gypsy music that he lovingly calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;folk swing.â&#x20AC;? Last year saw the release of Crazy For Christmas, his 15th album in 42 years. Whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing with the Hot Licks (his â&#x20AC;&#x153;classicâ&#x20AC;? band), the Charlatans or the Acoustic Warriors, one thing is clear: Dan Hicks is on a mission.

/< 6=@A3 From their beginnings as record store clerks in Brisbane, Australia to their tour with Tegan and Sara and subsequent underground fame, Kate Cooper and Damon Cox, otherwise known as An Horse, have emerged as a fresh and welcome addition to the indie-rock world. Their fuzzed-out tunes with playful lyrics and catchy hooks have gotten tighter and more deliberate over the years, but the stripped-down aesthetic that endeared them to us in the first place remains.

0=<3A6/93@A Formed by Sweetpea Atkins and Randy Jacobs, the Boneshakers are essentially a blues band with a pop sensibility. The two originally met when they were performing with â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s rock band Was (Not Was). When that band went on hiatus, Jacobs and Atkins decided it was time to start up their own project: a crisp, electric

blues outfit that deviated from the standard 12-bar format, prompting fellow musician and friend Bonnie Raitt to coin the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;boneshakers.â&#x20AC;?

While all of the members have their own projects, the Boneshakers are teaming up once more for a night that will prove the blues is all about having fun. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (MW)

Paula Morelenbaum at Kuumbwa on Monday

Though she was raised on the East Coast, Diana Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appalachian roots are deep, true and strikingly apparent. The singersongwriter, who gained wide notoriety with her album My Remembrance of You, has a voice that seems to transcend time and a knack for writing heart-wrenching mountain ballads that cut to the heart of living, loving and dying. Seldom hinting at the vocal power she is capable of, Jones takes the quiet storm approach and leaves listeners transfixed by her intimacy, honesty and grace.

train crash, a group of young friends begin to notice mysterious anomalies around town.

When monster sightings are reported, they arm themselves with Super 8mm cameras in search of some answers in this sci-fi thriller from genre guru J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fringe).

(Opens Fri at Green Valley)

THE QUIET MAN (1952) Director John Ford (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) directed this two-time Oscar winner about a disgraced manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for peace. Cinema legend John Wayne stars as Sean Thorton, a boxer traumatized after accidentally killing a man in the ring. Demons in tow, he retires to Ireland, where he falls in love with Mary Kate Danaher, played by the beautiful Maureen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara (Miracle on 34th Street). Described by Ford as the most personal and favorite project in his 140-film career, The Quiet Man is a romantic look at the development of troubled people in the poetic setting of an idealized Ireland. (Sat-Sun at Aptos Cinema) GATTACA (1997) In this not-so-distant futuristic thriller, humanity is torn between those born naturally and those who have been engineered to be genetically perfect.

Ethan Hawke plays a natural-born man who has always dreamed of space flight but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to participate in the space program because of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;inferiorâ&#x20AC;? genes. He decides to steal a new identity. Also starring Uma Thurman and Jude Law, Gattaca raises the question of just how far someone will go to obtain a dream when all ethical boundaries are blurred. (Thu at Santa Cruz 9) FERRIS BUELLERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAY OFF (1986) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life moves pretty fast. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it.â&#x20AC;?

So says Ferris Bueller in writer and director John Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classic comedy about ditching school, â&#x20AC;&#x153;borrowingâ&#x20AC;? a sports car and all of the other perks of teenage rebellion.

While this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead

actor Matthew Broderickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first film, it is arguably his most famous (really, can you look at the guy and NOT think of Ferris?).

Filled with great oneliners (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bueller? Bueller?â&#x20AC;?) and tons of laughs, it even has a young Charlie Sheen under arrest with the now-all-too-familiar white-faced, red-eyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;winningâ&#x20AC;? look. Really, what more could you ask for?

THE MET: MADAMA BUTTERFLY (NR; 205 min) Patricia Racette plays Madame Butterfly in Anthony Minghellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Pucciniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Japanese tragedy. Also starring Marcello Giordani as Pinkerton and Dwayne Croft as Sharpless.

RAMONA AND BEEZUS (2010) Selena Gomez (of the Disney Channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wizards of Waverly Place) plays older sister Beezus in this adaptation of Beverly Clearyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasured â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ramonaâ&#x20AC;? novel series.

@3D73EA BRIDESMAIDS (R; 125 min.)

Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a Milwaukee woman going downhill. Her ex-boyfriend (Jon Hamm) uses her for sex. Suddenly, Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pal, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), announces her impending marriage. Lillian also introduces a new, gorgeous friend (Rose Byrne) who elbows Annie aside and takes charge of the wedding. The wedding planning becomes more pretentious, more expensive and ever more humiliating for Annie. Wiig is at her most comically nonchalant as the desperation seeps out of her pores. In her capacity to register degrees of comedic suffering, this actress suggests what happens when like when a movie is really loose down deep in its soul, and is not just wobbly and formulaic.

But Judd Apatow was the executive producer, and Bridesmaids is shaped like an Apatow film: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a halfhour too long. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released as a chick-flick alternative, we still get the traditional pointless fight between Annie and her new man (Chris Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dowd). (RvB)

JUST CHILLINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vin Gris de Cigare, waiting for the weather to warm.

Think Pink

I

7< B63 >7<9 The newest incarnation of @O\ROZZ 5`OV[â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive DW\ 5`Wa RS 1WUO`S pink wine has arrived on my doorstep. This 2010 vintage

blush beauty could easily become your go-to wine of summer. The visual appeal alone will convince your eyes. The nose (pear) and palate (geranium, wild strawberry and some fugitive limestone essence) will convince the rest of you.

At 12.8 percent alcohol and $15, this latest 0]\\g 2]]\ DW\SgO`R pink should find its way rather quickly into your refrigerator. It especially loves picholine olives and every known cheese.

ACAB/7</0:3 ACA67 2OdWR 5`OVO[, sushi chef of /_cO 0ZSc, will soon be David Graham of 537A6/ ACA67 on the Capitola Esplanade.

Graham is about to launch something quite rare and unusual: a sustainable sushi bar. Imagine tekka maki without the negative environmental impact! â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very close to opening Geisha Sushi,â&#x20AC;? Graham told me last week. Aside from BObOYW in San Francisco, there are only a handful of other cities in the country that have taken the step of showcasing responsibly sourced sushi.

Graham did his homework by consulting with 1Oaa]\ B`S\]`, founder of the Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based 4WaVEWaS and Tataki co-owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are checking our sources for transparency, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with FishWise and sourcing seafood that makes no negative impact on the environment,â&#x20AC;? Graham said from the midst of last-minute detail planning. Yes, but what else will be happening at Geisha? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A full-service tea house, offering mostly fair trade teas,â&#x20AC;? he told me.

Geisha Sushi will be located on the Capitola Esplanade location of >O`ORWaS 0SOQV 5`WZZS. ;/97<5 / A>:/A6 Slated to openâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;probably at the end of the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the Wharf in the space formerly known as Carnigliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the latest venture by savvy restaurant entrepreneurs 5S`[OW\S /YW\ @SR @SabOc`O\b O\R :]c\US # # and ;O`bW\ 2`]POQ @WdO¸a . â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to transform it into a place that I would actually enjoying dining in,â&#x20AC;? says Akin, whose first Santa Cruz eatery, The Swan/Heavenly Goose, helped kick off the Szechuan craze of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deal: The secret heart of A>:/A6 will be a central rotating bar and dining platform. An ocean view from every table!
