HOW TO THANK A VET

EDITOR

ANYONE who is a veteran of the armed services has seen the bumper sticker reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank a vetâ&#x20AC;? or had that awkward moment when a friend, co-worker or drunken barfly says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your service.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong; I appreciate these gestures. I am very proud of my service in the U.S. Army.

However, it would be very nice if, instead of paying lip service to soldiers, these same people would write their congressmen, senators and president and demand better care for our wounded and families of our fallen heroes.

TAXING FOR HEALTH NEW YORK City Mayor Bloombergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to ban supersized sugary sodas has resurrected the age-old debate over the role of the state in protecting the public health.

In recent years, this debate involved bicycle

helmets, car seatbelts, tobacco, saturated fats in meat and dairy, trans fats and sugar (or more aptly, high-fructose corn syrup). Public subsidies for tobacco, meat and dairy, and corn production added fuel to the debate.

I would argue that society has a right to regulate activities that impose a heavy burden on the public treasury. National medical costs of dealing with our obesity epidemic, associated with consumption of meat, dairy and sugars, are estimated at $190 billion. Health advocates and fiscal conservatives alike should support eliminating subsidies for these products, as well as judicious taxation to reduce their use and recoup public costs.

Benjamin Franklin claimed that nothing is certain except death and taxes. Ironically, taxing products that make us sick can defer death substantially.

FROM THE WEB

A NICE IDEA, BUT â&#x20AC;Ś [RE: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Economics of Walnut Avenue Commons,â&#x20AC;? July 10] I was very interested in this when it was first proposed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful idea, especially since it is located downtown where no car is necessaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and sadly, Walnut Commons is not affordable for those of us who could use a co-housing community the most: an aging population, often without families or big budgets. These are very small apartments for above market price, high HOA fees and lacking in amenities that comparable condos offer in our area.

A Defining Moment

AB@793 H=<3 Graniterock executive Jack Leemaster and striking Aromas plant operator Frank Gonzalez (on telephone) at the Aromas plant gate on Sunday afternoon.

Graniterock Sunday-Punched Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;wide strike started in Aromas

A

AUG. 19 was a cloudless, sunny California Sunday in the hills nine miles east of Watsonville when members of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 showed up at 4pm to close the cement and asphalt plant at Graniterockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.R. Wilson Quarry.

Vice President and Aggregate Division Manager Jack Leemaster looked none too happy when he drove up in a white pickup truck 45 minutes later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My understanding is they had a pretty good-sized order going out tonight,â&#x20AC;? said one plant worker, resting his placardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pine stick on his shoulder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three hundred tons for night paving.â&#x20AC;?

Graniterockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leemaster didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like talking to the lone journalist on the scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to you later,â&#x20AC;? he snapped.

Twelve hours later, things would get worse for Graniterock. Before Monday crews punched in to start their weeks, picketers descended upon the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recycling and cement and asphalt plants in San Jose, at its sand and gravel facility in Hollister and at Graniterock operations in Redwood City and South San Francisco.

It was still pitch dark when a small pickup truck pulled in across the street from the San Jose cement and asphalt plant at 4:58am on Monday morning.

Several big men got out, crossed

the street and put on ref lective yellow safety vests. They mounted a sign on the barbed wireâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;topped chain link fence, hoisted placards upright and took their posts in the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still-gated driveway. Big red capital letters announced that they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;ON STRIKE.â&#x20AC;? Some machinery hummed behind a sign that instructed drivers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;BUCKLE UPâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;HAVE A NICE DAY!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strikes are never a good thing,â&#x20AC;?

Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ken Edgecombe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a contract in over a year.â&#x20AC;?

A tanker with a load of f ly ash idled outside the gates, and passing trucks honked support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Graniterock did not get

As the morning wore on 40 miles to the south, only three of the Aromas facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 53 union members had crossed the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We crippled them,â&#x20AC;? a union official said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the trucks that showed up had to turn around empty.â&#x20AC;?

The coordinated labor action involving four trades at five facilities around the Bay Area could be a defining moment for the rock processing behemoth.

The family-owned, century-old company has cultivated an image as philanthropic corporate citizen, a benevolent employer and an American business success story.

In 1992 it won the prestigious Baldrige National Quality Award.

Between 1998 and 2006, it made either Fortune magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 Best Companies to Work for in America,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Small & Medium Companies to Work for in Americaâ&#x20AC;? each year.

Then the company vanished from the list. A 2004 labor dispute with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters turned ugly,and Graniterock sued the Teamsters after it directed its local unit to continue a strike. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme court in 2010.

On June 24, 2012, 61-yearold CEO Bruce Woolpert, the grandson of Graniterockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, died in a Tahoe boating accident.

He was replaced as CEO by vice president and general counsel Tom Squeri.

Woolpertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death appears to have emboldened Graniterock critics and employees. In July, controversy erupted after a geological survey that Squeri initially denied 3'

ON THE LINE Workers in the Aromas facility voted 50â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 to support the union.

sponsoring turned out to be for Graniterockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exclusive use. Aromas area residents fear the study is a prelude to large-scale oil drilling and fracking in the hills east of Watsonville. Now this.

Fifty-six union members work at the Aromas quarry, which is so big itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bermuda triangleâ&#x20AC;? and sits at the intersection of four counties: Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara. Employees say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been without a contract for two years and that the company has been trying to get the employees to disclaim the union, with little success.

On Friday, the union voted 50-3 to be represented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I offered to meet with them Monday morning and gave them a 10am Saturday deadline,â&#x20AC;? said Local 3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pete Figueiredo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They responded that they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet with us on Monday. We made a decision to see if we could motivate them. I hope the company will meet and bargain with us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have eight agreements with Graniterock. Seven of them are currently expired. The company has refused to meet and bargain

with us,â&#x20AC;? Figueiredo said.

Unions participating in the work stoppage include Teamsters, Machinists, Operating Engineers and Laborers.

Graniterockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Severson says the union action harms unionmember employees who need to provide for their families. The company called the work stoppage â&#x20AC;&#x153;counterproductiveâ&#x20AC;? and said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointed that the Union has resorted to picketing rather than constructive negotiation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company will work to resolve the issues and return people to work,â&#x20AC;?

Severson said.

Figueiredo says the strike is sanctioned by the South Bay Labor Council and the Santa Clara/San Benito Counties Building & Construction Trades Council.

With a regional uptick in construction and road repairs, targeting the 700-employee company thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the San Francisco Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major suppliers of aggregate materials will ripple through the economy if the strikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not resolved soon. 0

Tired of the euphoria, anxiety and crash from being stoned?

Nonpsychoactive cannabidiol supplies health benefits without the typical effects of THCâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and demand is outstripping supply.

BY MELINDA MISURACA

M

Medical marijuana has gotten a bad rap in Northern California, and perhaps for good reason. Dispensary logos typically feature a red cross backlit by a neon pot leaf, with maybe the image of a wheelchair and the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;compassionâ&#x20AC;? squeezed in somewhere; meanwhile, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nudge-nudge, wink-winkâ&#x20AC;? atmosphere pervades many a dispensary waiting area, filled as they are with a high number of male â&#x20AC;&#x153;patientsâ&#x20AC;? between the ages of 18 and 40 who are there to be treated for â&#x20AC;&#x153;back painâ&#x20AC;?

and â&#x20AC;&#x153;insomnia,â&#x20AC;? their prescriptions written by doctors who advertise in the classifieds and on billboards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that the boundary between recreational and medicinal cannabis can sometimes seem as hazy as the interior of a reggae dance hall.

But new research in medical marijuana is shocking scientists in the industry right out of their white lab coats, and its implications for treating medical conditions that range from cancer to schizophrenia are poised to take

federal regulatory bulwarks by storm.

If THC is marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quintessential party girl, a lesser-known molecule called cannabidiol (CBD) is her quieter littler sister, a New Wave wonder child with a good-girl twist. Not only has CBD shown seemingly supernatural effects on a variety of ailments, it is nonpsychoactive, moderating the euphoric, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stonyâ&#x20AC;? effects of THC and allowing patients to use their medicine without ending up on the couch all day watching whole seasons of Weeds. ¨

Cannabis Through The Ages To better understand the CBD revelation, let us first take a stroll down Mary Jane Lane with the help of a new book. Smoke Signals, a vast compendium on cannabis

by Northern California resident Martin Lee, is just out from Scribner.

Diminutive with a shock of madscientist hair and a perpetual look of bemusement, Lee is an investigative journalist and one of the founders of the organization FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting). Equal parts social history, compelling research and political commentary, Smoke Signals is populated with the artists, writers and thinkers for whom cannabis lit a green fuse of inspirationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from Balzac to Baudelaire, the Beatles to Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as the scientists and activists who have doggedly fought to liberate the perennially misunderstood plant.

The pot narrative begins 6,000 years ago. First cultivated in the Hindu Kush, it was brought by invading Aryan tribes to India, where it was associated with the Hindu god Shiva; it was smoked, ingested and made into fuel, cloth and rope. After observing its usefulness in the East, W. B. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shaughnessy introduced cannabis to the West in the 1800s, where it was listed in The United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary until the 1930s.

Prescribed for over 100 ailments, marijuana was ingested by our grandparents in the cough remedies, nervines and analgesics common in the day and bought from such upstanding establishments as Sears, Roebuck and Company.

Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book describes how, during the Great Depression, the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics found itself without budget or scapegoat, inspiring the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Harry Anslinger, to fashion himself into a righteous antipot crusader. Anslinger gave his government-sanctioned agenda a blatantly racist top-spin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reefer,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes darkies think they are as good as white men,â&#x20AC;? causes â&#x20AC;&#x153;white women to seek sexual relations with Negroesâ&#x20AC;? and inspires the creation

of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satanic music of Jazz and Swing.â&#x20AC;?

The bureau also linked the drug with insanity and claimed a direct correlation between marijuana and violence, and even death.

While the racist rhetoric has blessedly gone away, the U.S. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual policy on cannabisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which it lumps in with heroin and LSDâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has hardly changed in 80 years, despite the findings of numerous committees here and in Britain. Studies such as the La Guardia and Wootton reports and results from the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse, headed by Raymond Shafer in the early 1970s, all confirm what generations of marijuana users have always known: that there is no connection between pot and any illness or disorder (other than a tendency among some slackers toward excessively vegetal behavior).

Good Green Medicine Modern research in medical marijuana began in 1964, with the isolation and synthesis of marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controversial molecule, delta-9tetrahydrocannabinolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;better known as THCâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam, who also discovered a vital chemical-signaling system in the body with which THC interacts.

Composed of naturally produced molecules called endocannabinoids (often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own marijuanaâ&#x20AC;?) and their corresponding receptor sites, this unique system influences appetite, mood, memory and pain sensation.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the magic: Marijuana contains its own inherent cannabinoids that mimic and enhance those in the body with potency and complexity. These phytocannabinoids and their sidekicksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the terpenes and flavanoidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;create an â&#x20AC;&#x153;entourage effect,â&#x20AC;? a team effort that regulates, modulates, stimulates and protects virtually every cell in the body.

While the THC in marijuana has been shown to have powerful biological effects on the body, especially in the areas of pain and inflammation, cannabidiol is now taking center stage. Recent

One user reports, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CBD gives me a perfect balance: a nice body high where the stress and aches get smoothed out, while leaving my mind calm and present.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; One of those on the forefront of CBD science, Dr. Sean D. McAllister, works at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, where his studies have shown cannabidiolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating effect on human cancer cells. Like a ninja assassin, CBD targets these renegade

cells and systemically weakens, starves, stops them from spreading and reproducing, and, McAllister reports, ultimately kills them off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different here [versus] conventional cancer drugs,â&#x20AC;? says McAllister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that cannabinoids have a very low toxicity profile, so they cause few side effects.â&#x20AC;?

McAllister found that CBD behaves differently from THC in the body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CBD molecule itself does not interact efficiently with endocannabinoid receptors,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, it does interact with other biological pathways.â&#x20AC;?

Currently, McAllister is testing the hypothesis that THC and CBD work in concert, and mentions evidence showing that the terpenes and flavanoids in whole cannabis also have a modulating effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many anecdotal reports on the usefulness of the whole marijuana plant,â&#x20AC;? says McAllister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preclinical evidence backs them up.â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately, nobody has yet offered funding to McAllister for whole-plant cannabis research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a history among pharmaceutical companies not to get into plant extracts because they are so hard to patent,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sativex is the only clinically tested and standardized whole-plant cannabis extract currently available on the world market, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not approved for use in the United States.

Sativex contains a one-to-one ratio of CBD to THC, radically different from currently popular strains with their skyrocketing THC content and often negligible CBD.

A Kinder Kine A growing number of medicinal marijuana users are gravitating toward the new CBD-rich strains, and some dispensaries and patients are catching on. Joey Saldana of the Santa Cruz Collective says patients come in asking for the CBD strain â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with severe pain usually ask for it the most. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of patients that are severely ill, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask for the CBD because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get high. They just want the pain relief.â&#x20AC;?

findings based on preclinical and human studies show that CBD has anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic, anticonvulsant, anti-tumorigenic and pain-relieving properties.

Cannabidiol kicks serious booty against cancer, as well as Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Huntingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and multiple sclerosis. It helps prevent and treat heart disease, diabetes and stroke, and appears to improve such psychological conditions as schizophrenia, social anxiety disorder, depression and ADHD, often working better than the drugs typically prescribed, and with virtually no side effects. Cannabidiol has even been shown in vitro to be effective against the difficultto-treat bacterial infection MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

corroborates that experience, saying the shop has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of requests for CBD-rich products.â&#x20AC;?

North Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based patient consultant Royce Park, who in typical dispensary-speak talks of â&#x20AC;&#x153;patientsâ&#x20AC;? who â&#x20AC;&#x153;medicateâ&#x20AC;? using â&#x20AC;&#x153;flowers,â&#x20AC;? certainly knows his science. Park regularly attends conferences and keeps up with the latest studies to help patients choose cannabis strains for their individual needs. Park himself prefers to medicate with CBD-rich cannabis, finding it â&#x20AC;&#x153;very functional.â&#x20AC;?

Cannabidiol users contacted through a medicinal-cannabis support group report a markedly different experience than what is typically associated with weed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relaxed, yet focused and alert,â&#x20AC;? said one user. Another described smoking CBD as â&#x20AC;&#x153;marijuana with a seat belt.â&#x20AC;?

One person reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;CBD gives me a perfect balance: a nice body high where the stress and aches get smoothed out, while leaving my mind calm and present.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me,â&#x20AC;? said a CBD-rich cannabis grower, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the biggest advantage to CBD is its ability to relieve anxiety.

For someone with an active mind and a difficult personal history, anxiety is always present. When I use CBD, relaxation sets up a base camp, guarded by a sentinel with arms folded who allows no trouble or fear to get close. CBD makes room for good things to happen.â&#x20AC;?

Research into CBD-rich cannabis continues. Martin Lee recently attended a conference in Germany where scientists presented new information documenting CBDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to stop the proliferation of colon cancer cells and to limit traumatic brain injury caused by strokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using cannabis in any form can have positive health benefits, regardless of the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention,â&#x20AC;? says Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CBD-rich pot is especially powerful.â&#x20AC;?

Yet CBD-high weed is still very difficult to source, even in California, where new cannabis strains are developed as often as wine varietals.

With the recent forced closure of so many dispensaries, those left standing struggle to keep a steady CBD supply. Royce Park admits his Sebastopol dispensary canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obtain enough of it to satisfy demand, as

cultivators have yet to catch on to this less psychotropic pot. While CBD continues to show immense promise in the lab, cannabis remains firmly entombed in the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airless mausoleum of Schedule I controlled substances, while speed and meth are granted the lesser classification of Schedule II, and alcohol, in seeming disregard of the number of crimes and deaths associated with its use, is hardly controlled at all.

CBD-high weed is still very difficult to source, even in California, where new cannabis strains are developed as often as wine varietals.

It appears that cannabis researchers and activists will continue to push legitimate medical science up a steep bureaucratic hill for a long time. Still, there is hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily influence policymakers,â&#x20AC;? says McAllister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I do believe that over time, facts will push government policy in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?

Lee agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The science shows that CBD is a potent medicine,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also a potent myth-buster. It explodes the myth that medical marijuana is just for stoners.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sentiment we might do well to put in our pipes and smoke.

SURVIVED BERMUDA TRIANGLE Pall Jenkins, Zach Smith and Thomas Zinser are back on the job after a 15-year hiatus.

FOR A LOT of indie rock fans, Three Mile Pilot is just some obscure band from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s that Zach Smith was in before Pinback, and Pall Jenkins before The Black Heart Procession. But they recorded some of the best, least-appreciated indie albums of their time. Their last album, Another Sea, Another Desert (1997), had all the makings of a breakout alternative rock record but was only heard by a small group of individuals. It blended punk rock energy with sophisticated musicianship, unrestrained emotional intensity and pop sensibilities, predating the emo explosion by a couple years, with a sound more nuanced than anything the mainstream bands after them were playing.

Unfortunately, the process of making the album, which was supposed to be for major label Geffen, was so frustrating the band broke up before it was released. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time the label was really adamant about getting radio mixes from us, and we were young and headstrong. We were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No. This is how you signed us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We stuck to our guns and had to walk,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins says.

Geffen shelved the record but ultimately gave the masters back to the band, who released it on indie label Cargo nearly two years after it was finished.

Three Mile Pilot would stay dormant for almost 15 years, until the release of an unexpected album in 2010 called

BY AARON CARNES

The Inevitable Past Is the Future Forgotten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the new record is a score we had to settle. We always wanted to make another record,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins says.

The album is surprisingly different from the old Three Mile Pilot sound in nearly every way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subdued, understated, mellow and textured with digital sounds. Not only have Jenkins and Smith gone in two different directions musically, but the new Three Mile Pilot has a vastly different approach to songwriting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to go into a practice space and pound things out for hours. Now we have our own studio, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just bringing parts in and working on each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas and overdubbing and building songs in the studio,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins says.

As understated and mellow as the new Three Mile Pilot seems, the intensity is still there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just changed forms and grown more complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten older, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten more refined in our playing and our studio experience. When I was singing back then I was screaming my head off. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 41. My voice doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold up like that anymore. The intensity comes from a more inward feeling than necessarily screaming about something,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins says.

THEATER Mayan Creation Story

CRUISE ON BY â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is at the corner of Bay and Mission, on the Rip Curl building.

NEW STUDENTS trickling into town for the first time are getting a crash course on Santa Cruzan identity, thanks to a 30foot-long caricature map of Santa Cruz now plastered on the corner of Bay and Mission streets.

The mural is the work of Kirby Scudder, Tannery artist and co-founder of First Friday, who happened to have an obscenely large version of his recently released poster â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cruz.â&#x20AC;? Wanting to share it with the public, he drove all over looking for the perfect spot before settling on the blank wall of the Rip Curl building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That particular location is really interesting... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a convergence of all the locals from the Westside, all of the students, mass transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s converging right at that corner,â&#x20AC;? says Scudder.

Designed after the famous illustration

by Saul Steinberg that appeared on the cover of The New Yorker in March of 1976, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cruzâ&#x20AC;? is a humorous â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-pointperspectiveâ&#x20AC;? that embraces the way Santa Cruz residents view themselves and the rest of the world. Scudder calls the piece a â&#x20AC;&#x153;community illustration,â&#x20AC;? since everyone who gave him ideas agreed almost unanimously on the things that mattered most to Santa Cruz. Famous surf breaks, tattoo and massage parlors, the 2011 tsunami, street performers and

various inside jokes make up the 300 or so specific-to-Santa Cruz details. In the distance, Burning Man flickers larger than the Statue of Liberty, and little figures hop both ways over the Mexican border.

The poster is â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporary guerilla,â&#x20AC;? hung with glue in the same fashion guerilla street artists hang their art, and although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been treated to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;slightly weatherproofed,â&#x20AC;? Scudder says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before the fog takes it.

But this is coming from a man who got his kicks last week out of toting a 27-foot cardboard girl around town to photograph peeking into second story windows: The â&#x20AC;&#x153;very innocentâ&#x20AC;? yet curious cardboard giant (sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s between 12 and 14 years old) is a precursor to a much bigger project Scudderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on, and a testament to his belief that art can be temporary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literally there for a matter of moments, so it really only lives in photographs,â&#x20AC;? said Scudder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day I hope we get to the point where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like Barcelona or Paris, where everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a piece of art, including the people. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there one day,â&#x20AC;?

DILLON BAIOCCHI BAND

EDDIE MONEY

FLOR DE CAĂ&#x2018;A

Eddie Money is synonymous with the kind of passionate, blue-collar rock & roll this country was built on. Who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a moment when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take Me Home Tonightâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Wanna Go Backâ&#x20AC;? cut to the soul? Or started their summer vacation belting out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Tickets to Paradiseâ&#x20AC;? with the windows rolled down? His music continues to transcend trends and generations, and fans will vouch that his performances are just as enthusiastic and exciting as they were 30 years ago. No doubt about it, Money is still money. Beach Boardwalk; Free; 6:30pm & 8:30pm.

A seven-piece outfit specializing in Cuban Son music (the early 20thcentury form that gave rise to salsa), Flor de CaĂąa takes its name from the Caribbean sugarcane flower, an apt descriptor of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buoyant sound. As a top-flight rhythm section lays down the foundation, Flor de CaĂąa works audiences into a frenzy with tight horn arrangements and powerful four-part vocal harmonies.

Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $10; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

Saxophonist and Santa Cruz native Dillon Baiocchi discovered his musical calling at the ripe age of 5. Now a recent graduate from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, Baiocchi is joining the steadily swelling ranks of a new generation of contemporary jazz musicians, easily bridging the gap between classicalists like Christian McBride and Wynton Marsalis and independent artists like Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Thundercat. On this rare occasion Baiocchi returns to his hometown with his talented quintet.

CHRIS RENE If you live in Santa Cruz or are one of the millions of Americans who watch The X Factor, Chris Reneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name should ring a loud bell. After making his mark on the talent competition with his selfpenned autobiographical song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Homie,â&#x20AC;? the Santa Cruz native came in third and signed with Epic Records.

Rene uses his dynamic talents to create unique songs with hip-hop and soulpop influences frequently showcasing his elegant piano playing. Catalyst; $19 adv/$23 door; 9pm. (LS)

SATURDAY | 8/25

BIRDHOUSE A few years ago, Birdhouse was formed as a local Grateful Dead cover band.

After a few gigs, though, the band started playing original material that embraced the jamming, country-rock ethos of the Dead but allowed the members to show off their own compositional skills. With backgrounds in jazz and improvisation, the members of Birdhouse have skills that nicely bridge technical proficiency and a sense of musical exploration.

Sharing the bill (and upping the Dead factor a few notches) is Grahame Lesh, son of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh,

and his band. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $8 adv/$10 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

HONEYCUTTERS Described as Appalachian honky tonk, the Honeycutters are a throwback to the era of country duets, weepy slide guitar accents, lonesome fiddle pulls and sweet, sad songs about heartbreak, chasing dreams and finding trouble.

Hailing from North Carolina, the band, built around singer-songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and guitarist Peter James, is garnering comparisons to genredefining duos including Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings and Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no small praise for an up-and-coming outfit. But the Honeycutters have a spit-polished sound and ear-catching style that point to a bright future, indeed. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $7 adv/$10 door; 4pm. (CJ)

technique and groove-heavy style helped to solidify the B-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in jazz and inspired countless keyboardists, samplers and producers alike. Jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery is widely considered one of the most influential and innovative artists in the history of the genre. His technique is studied and emulated and his solos remain some of the finest of all time.

Paying tribute to the two legends are three of the heavy-hitters of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jazz scene: Jazz master drummer Jimmy Cobb, Miles Davis alumnus and renowned organist Joey DeFrancesco and pioneering fusion guitarist Larry Coryell. Kuumbwa; $27 adv/$30 door; 7pm & 9pm. (CJ)

ANA TIJOUX

WORLD BEATS French-Chilean hip-hop sensation Ana Tijoux

An overnight sensation a decade in the making, Ana Tijoux spent years playing music, grinding away at a hip-hop career, before she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoveredâ&#x20AC;? and won Latin MTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best New Artist award. Born to French and Chilean parents, Tijoux started rapping as a teenager and made a name for herself in Latin American underground rap circles as emcee in the group Makiza. It was her 2006 collaboration with Mexican pop star Julieta Venegas, however, that launched her into international Latin pop stardom, laying the groundwork for a solo career as a cross-cultural, cross-genre musical icon.

25 EPICURE

DAVID KUMEC CHEF & OWNER, MISSION HILL CREAMERY

FUN WITH FOOD Breakfast is a party this Saturday at the Westside market.

Pop-Up Breakfast

BY TRACI HUKILL

If breakfast is so important, why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it more exciting? Chef Kevin Koebel of Local FATT (Food Awareness Through Teaching) and Roland Konicke of Uncle Roâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza aim to fight weekend morning boredom this Saturday, Aug. 25, with a Pop-Up Breakfast at the Westside Farmers Market. Starting at 10am, the chefs will be collaborating with local food producers to serve up sweet and savory breakfasty goodness: salty caramel sticky buns (with Companion Bakery, flour supplied in part by Pie Ranch); wood fire-roasted wild king salmon from H&H Fish; roulades of housemade fennel-molasses sausage from MarkeGarde Grass Fed Ranch pork with scrambled eggs from Fiesta Farm, Harley chevre and wilted greens, all rolled in pizza dough and baked; poached eggs with wilted collards; house-cured bacon, fresh fruit with sparkling wine. The produce is from Route 1 Farms, Live

I

Earth Farms, Twin Girl, New Natives, Happy Boy Farm and Everett Family Farm. The cream for the butter comes from the Jersey girls at Claravale Farm, once located on Monterey Bay

south of Manresa, now in nearby San Benito County. In short, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great big celebration of local food, so bring a plate

and cutlery from home and join in the feast. Tickets $25 (includes tax and tip) at info@ediblemontereybay.com or 831.454.0566.

NEW LIFE AT NEW LEAF A few reasons those of us who shop at Felton New Leaf are lucky: Sea Level Farm strawberries and dry-farmed tomatoes, an excellent bulk spices department, knowledgeable herbalists on staff, nice employeesâ&#x20AC;Ś And now add to that list the fact that the deli section is about to become huge. Stay tuned.

ONO FOOD TREND Once upon a time the Aloha Outrigger Races and Polynesian Festival on the wharf sold Hawaiian food. This Sunday, Aug. 26, the closest youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get will be whole coconuts and genuine Hawaiian shave ice sold by Outrigger Santa Cruz as a fundraiser.

Happily, there are now four places in town to get authentic island grinds.

Aloha Island Grill (Portola and 17th) has Eastside charm and island specialties like slow-cooked kalua pork in large and small plate sizes. Pono Hawaiian Grill (120 Union Street) specializes in poke (marinated fish) and health-conscious adaptations of Hawaiian food. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue (7th and Eaton), a Honolulu-based chain, is the new kid

Handmade ice cream is a universal treat.

How did your passion begin? When I was a student in Paris I found out about Berthillon ice cream and was fascinated by their intense and perfect flavors, like salted caramel and dark chocolate. I thought it must be the best ice cream in the world. My goal with this business is to make ice cream and sorbet that is good enough to compete with Berthillon in Paris.

Do you consider yourself an entrepreneur? Absolutely. But I also like to find ways that we can give back to the community. Our new non-profit organization is being formed, Ice Cream for Kids. We donate a portion of every pint sale to the organization and the funds will be used to make money for underprivileged kids through sponsored ice cream social events.

What determines the flavors you choose? The consumer?

Seasons? Gonzo desire? Like Berthillon, I like to make strong and bold flavors. Salted Caramel is our biggest seller and that was an inspiration from Berthillon, but consumers love the awesome seasonal flavors like strawberry, nectarine and melon as well as the creative flavors like Bourbon Butter Pecan, Mexican â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hotâ&#x20AC;? Chocolate and Ricotta Fig. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been two years since you opened the Front Street location.

Do you have a good feeling about the new Pacific Avenue venture? The new store is going to rock. We are going to have our wholesale business behind a glass door so customers will be able to see ice cream production and packing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at having local artists display on our walls and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be open late. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be so much fun.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite flavor? It changes with every new season, but right now I am really liking the fresh nectarine ice cream and the plum/ zinfandel sorbet. But if I could only eat one flavor for the rest of my life, there is no doubt it would be Vanilla Bean. It has a really creamy texture and the perfect balance of organic dairy and Madagascar bourbon vanilla.

Christina Waters Mission Hill Creamery will open a storefront at 1101 B. Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, this fall.

in town and has been serving up plate lunches to the curious since July. And for a sit-down affair, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Hulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown (221 Cathcart), where the poke is excellent, the atmosphere is comfortably kitschy and the prices are good.

Christina Waters will return to Epicure on Sept. 12.

BRING YOUR BULLDOZER Bring your bulldozer! The ad read.

I decided to show this house to Doris, an elderly lady who had been searching for her â&#x20AC;&#x153;little old ladiesâ&#x20AC;? house for over a year. She was wanting her last home in every sense.

I knew Doris liked unusual properties, simple yet special. Maybe this would be the one. We had trouble finding it as it was tucked away down a long driveway. When we finally arrived, my first thought was that the whole house was leaning to the right.

Prodigious weeds surrounded the bucking brick pathway as we tripped along to the front door.

Inside was a disaster area.

Sheetrock sagging from ceilings, broken windows, wounded floors, sloping corners, low ceilings. Crusted dirt everywhere and unidentifiable objects were looming about which may have previously been alive. Surface mounted questionable electric wiring and plumbing lines adorned the exterior.

The foundation was non-existent. The teeny backyard was engulfed with squash vines and potato plants. Later we discovered the garden resulted from the former owner throwing out garbage whose seeds often turned into edibles. The previous owner was also a prolific painter, with no talent.

Stacks and stacks of paintings were distributed around the house. The painting subject was always rocks.

I started to head out, shaking my head, when I looked for Doris. I found her stuck in the bathroom. There was a tight door fit between the tub and wall and somehow she was stuck behind the door. I managed to wrestle the door open and release her.

A beatific smile on her face, she announced this was her place. I thought she was joking. But no, she had fallen in love with the place. It has been over a year now. Doris has added a foundation, raised a few ceilings, cleaned up the yardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and left the old wainscoting, claw foot tub, odd stairs, some walls exposed to bare redwood planking, peeling wallpaper laid on top of newspapers dating from 1884, among other oddities. She is as happy as a well fed puppy romping through the woods on a sunny day.

If you are looking for something special, give us a call, and bring your bulldozer. Or not.
