During his 67 years of life, Taurus-born Leonardo da Vinci achieved excellence in 12 different fields, from painting to engineering to anatomy. Today he is regarded as among the most brilliant humans who ever lived.

"His genius was so rare and universal that it can be said that nature worked a miracle on his behalf," said one observer. "He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents," said another. Yet on his death bed, Leonardo da Vinci confessed, "I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have." Typical for a Taurus, he underestimated himself. It's very important that you not do the same, especially in the coming weeks. The time has come for you to give yourself more of the credit and respect you deserve.

GEMINI May21–June20 Where you have been and what you have done will be of little importance in the coming weeks. Both your mistakes and your triumphs will be irrelevant. In my estimation, you have a sacred duty to spy on the future and reconnoiter the pleasures and challenges that lie ahead. So I suggest you head off toward the frontier with an innocent gleam in your eye and a cheerful hunger for interesting surprises. How's your Wildness Quotient? If it's in a slump, pump it up.

Will you ever find that treasured memento you misplaced?

Is there any chance of reviving a dream you abandoned?

You are in a phase when these events are more likely than usual to happen. The same is true about an opportunity that you frittered away or a missing link that you almost tracked down but ultimately failed to secure. If you will ever have any hope of getting another shot at those lost joys, it would be in the coming weeks. For best results, purge the regret and remorse you still feel about the mistakes you think you made once upon a time.

In the early 1300s, the people of the Mexica tribe had no homeland. They had wandered for centuries through the northern parts of what we now call Mesoamerica.

According to legend, that changed in 1323, when their priests received a vision of an eagle eating a snake while perched at the top of a prickly pear cactus. They declared that this was the location of the tribe's future power spot. Two years later, the prophecy was fulfilled.

On an island in the middle of a lake, scouts spied the eagle, snake, and cactus. And that was where the tribe built the town of Tenochtitlan, which ultimately became the center of an empire. Today that place is called Mexico City. Have you had an equivalent vision, Leo? If you haven't yet, I bet you will soon. Go in search of it.

Be alert.

seeds on Run, then flew to other islands and pooped them out, enabling plants to grow outside of Dutch jurisdiction. I see this story as an apt metaphor for you in the coming months, Virgo. What's your equivalent of the pigeons? Can you find unlikely allies to help you evade the controlling force that's limiting your options?

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Have you triggered any brilliant breakthroughs lately?

Have you made any cathartic departures from the way things have always been done? Have you thought so far outside the box that you can't even see the box anymore? Probably not. The last few weeks have been a time of retrenchment and stabilization for you. But I bet you will start going creatively crazy very soon—and I mean that in the best sense. To ensure maximum health and well-being, you simply must authorize your imagination to leap and whirl and dazzle.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The cassava plant produces a starchy root that's used as food by a half billion people all over the planet. No one can simply cook it up and eat it, though. In its raw state, it contains the poisonous chemical cyanide, which must be removed by careful preparation. An essential first step is to soak it in water for at least 18 hours. I see this process as a metaphor for the work you have ahead of you, Scorpio. A new source of psychological and spiritual sustenance will soon be available, but you will have to purge its toxins before you can use and enjoy it.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Italian composer Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) didn't like to work hard, and yet he was also prolific. In fact, his desire to avoid strenuous exertion was an important factor in his abundant output. He got things done fast.

His most famous opera, “The Barber of Seville,” took him just 13 days to finish. Another trick he relied on to reduce his workload was plagiarizing himself. He sometimes recycled passages from his earlier works for use in new compositions. Feeling good was another key element in his approach to discipline. If given a choice, he would tap into his creative energy while lounging in bed or hanging out with his buddies. In the coming weeks, Sagittarius, I recommend you consider strategies like his.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Each hour of every day, the sun offers us more energy than oil, gas, and coal can provide in an entire year.

Sadly, much of our star's generous gift goes to waste.

Our civilization isn't set up to take advantage of the bounty. Is there a comparable dynamic in your personal life, Capricorn? Are you missing out on a flow of raw power and blessings simply because you are ignorant of it or haven't made the necessary arrangements to gather it? If so, now would be an excellent time to change your ways.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 According to my analysis of the long-term astrological omens, 2015 is the year you can get totally serious about doing what you were born to do. You will be given the chance to slough off all that's fake and irrelevant and delusory. You will be invited to fully embrace the central purpose of your destiny. If you're interested in taking up that challenge, I suggest you adopt Oscar Wilde's motto: "Nothing is serious except passion." Your primary duty is to associate primarily with people and places and situations that feed your deepest longings.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

By the end of the 16th century, nutmeg was in high demand throughout Europe. It was valued as a spice, medicine and preservative. There was only one place in the world where it grew: on the Indonesian island of Run. The proto-capitalists of the Dutch East India Company gained dominion over Run, and enslaved the local population to work on plantations. They fully controlled the global sale of nutmeg, which allowed them to charge exorbitant prices. But ultimately their monopoly collapsed. Here's one reason why: Pigeons ate nutmeg

"Give up all hope for a better past," writes Emily Fragos in her poem "Art Brut." That's generally sound advice.

But I think you may be able to find an exception to its truth in the coming weeks. As you work to forgive those who have trespassed against you, and as you revise your interpretations of bygone events, and as you untie knots that have weighed you down and slowed you up for a long time, you just may be able to create a better past.

Dare to believe that you can transform the shape and feel of your memories.

How Mushrooms Heal

10

A Fungus Fair expert explains which mushrooms have medicinal properties, and why BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

A

s mycologists converged on the Louden Nelson Community Center last weekend for Santa Cruz’s 41st annual Fungus Fair, I joined the shroom-curious masses, in search of some specific answers into the alleged medicinal properties of mushrooms.

Thanks to recent rains, the displays overflowed with hundreds of locally foraged specimens of all shapes and sizes, from the fatal death cap to the delicate, petal-like oyster and delicious candy cap.

But it was the table of Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D, that held the Holy Grail—dozens of potently medicinal mushrooms nestled into a bed of

dried leaves. A mycologist, herbalist, botanist, and scientific researcher, Hobbs had just returned from an afternoon scavenge near Harvey West, and a tiny piece of moss still clung to a strand of his hair as we talked.

“Turkey tail grows everywhere.

Those big logs of turkey tail, I just picked those up out of the woods today,” says Hobbs, referring to a mushroom he often chews like gum as he walks in the woods. Clinically proven to improve the immune system, the fungus looks a lot like it sounds, growing in leathery fans striped in browns and grays. “What I recommend for people who want to use it frequently is to just go out,

learn what it looks like—there’s no real toxic look-alike—harvest it and boil it down and make an extract of it, and take half a teaspoon to a teaspoon every day.”

Mushroom tea extract—a powder made from the concentrated and dried tea—is the traditional way that mushrooms have been used as medicines for thousands of years.

Hobbs details how to make it in his most recent book, “Grow It, Heal It.” But taking it frequently is key, says Hobbs, since the compounds are short-acting, usually lasting between four to six hours.

Studies have shown that cancer patients who took turkey tail

mushroom extract in conjunction with chemotherapy resulted in a one-third higher five-year survival rate than chemotherapy alone, and they are now an accepted adjunct to cancer treatments based on their immunefortifying properties. Meanwhile, chaga, which grows primarily on the East Coast as well as in Eastern Europe and Russia, is used as a remedy for all kinds of cancers; shiitake extract is used to treat cancers, as well as HIV/AIDS; oyster mushrooms lower cholesterol and have anti-tumor properties; and reishi have been used as an anti-allergic, anti-tumor and antiviral remedy in China for some 4,000 years, among other uses.

But how does fungi act as an immunostimulant? All mushrooms contain beta-glucans. “They are basically highly branched, complex, very large sugar molecules,” says Hobbs. “Our gut has receptor sites that we’ve learned to recognize fungi over probably millions of years.” Absorbed by the gut, beta-glucans bind to gutassociated lymphatic tissue (GALT) and macrophages associated with the gut barrier, triggering a group of immune cells, natural killer cells, and phagocytosis—the engulfment of pathogens and foreign substances to break them down. This immune response extends to all edible mushrooms—which are perhaps one of the most overlooked of superfoods—in varying degrees.

“They’re loaded with iron, copper, phosphorus, potassium, B vitamins, and other trace minerals like zinc,” says Hobbs. “And they are high in fiber, which helps with elimination of toxins, reducing our absorption of fats, and stabilizing blood sugar and blood lipids.”

The most nutritious of edibles are shiitakes, oysters—the most digestible of all mushrooms, says Hobbs—maitakes, and of course wild foraged mushrooms. But cooking them is imperative, otherwise our bodies cannot break down and digest their nutrients.

He recommends going to Shopper’s Corner, which always has a wide variety of mushrooms on hand. “For maintenance and for health benefits you can still just eat a few shiitake, or whatever, three times a week, and that’s going to give you some immune benefits,” says Hobbs.

NEWS CHILL FACTOR Activist’s Warming Center Program sees success after year of efforts

By his own admission, Brent Adams’ methods of activism haven’t always paid off.

Known as one of Santa Cruz’s more outspoken advocates for the homeless, Adams also has a reputation for publicly denouncing community members and leaders, whether in city council meetings or in online forums.

Perhaps because of Adams’ finger-wagging methods, local officials and organizations have often shown reluctance to associate themselves with him—a phenomenon he’s calling the “Brent Factor.”

“I came from the shaming school of activism, and you’ll still find me stuck in that from time to time,” says Adams. “I stand by everything that I’ve done, and a lot of that may be controversial for some people, but this project is meant to be the opposite of controversial.”

This latest project is the Santa Cruz Warming Center Program. A warming center is a temporary shelter that opens when the temperature outside drops to dangerous levels, or when a combination of temperature, precipitation, and high winds make sleeping outside a health issue—especially for the unhoused population that are older, or may be suffering from ailments that could be exacerbated by freezing temperatures. The project had its first successful run at a church in downtown Santa Cruz just before the New Year.

With the program, Adams says he is trying to step away from the habit of scolding government leaders and service organizations.

He instead wants to work toward cooperation, so that he can help those experiencing homelessness find a warm refuge on Santa Cruz’s coldest nights.

“So many people have different ideas about the tangential aspects around homelessness, and who’s responsible, but this project can bring the opposing sides together, and that’s really what we need right now in Santa Cruz,” says Adams. “That’s what the Warming Center Program is hoping to achieve—that it’s a bridge between the communities: the housed and the people who are homeless.”

When temperatures dropped below freezing on Dec. 30 and 31, Adams and a group of volunteers helped to give shelter to

TURF’S UP The new and improved artificial field at Depot Park has become a favorite for weekend pickup games. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Soccer players happy to have home turf back at Depot Park BY JACOB PIERCE

T

eenagers in athletic shorts are running all over an open field on a sunny winter day, cutting and zigzagging as they kick a soccer ball up and down the 120-yard plane.

The young athletes are in an all-out sprint. Their cleats dig at the green blades that blanket the ground, dislodging tiny brown particles into the air which fall neatly back into the grass-like surface. This is the artificial turf field at Depot Park, which reopened this last month after several months of disrepair followed by a 14-month closure.

The new turf is a big improvement over the one that covered the field a

couple of years prior.

“It’s a complete turnaround, and it makes the practices better when people are able to keep moving with the ball instead of falling on the ground,” says Maya Goldberg, a senior with the Santa Cruz High varsity girls soccer team, which practices at Depot Park.

When it had been open previously, the artificial turf at Depot wasn’t draining water properly, which left large puddles scattered across the field after rainy days. That old turf— installed a decade ago—was falling apart prematurely, practically at the seams. The grass-like surface was turning into rugged terrain filled

with lumps and divots, prompting the city of Santa Cruz to file a $1.3 million lawsuit in 2012. Then a test measuring the compression of the field found it was too firm to play on safely. That ultimately prompted Santa Cruz to close Depot in October 2013.

“Clearly the field was an utter failure,” says lawyer George Kovacevich, who’s representing the city in its legal case. He expects a settlement for the case to be finished “shortly,” with a list of defendants that includes the contractor, an architect and the turf’s manufacturer.

I Looked in Horror as My Doctor Said...

“I’m Sorry, We’ve Done All We Can, You’ll Just Have To Live With The Pain!”

DEAR FRIEND, Eighteen years ago my life totally changed.

tering conditions another way. Since graduating in 1998, I’ve specialized in serving people who’ve run out of alternatives and hope.

Let me tell you a fascinating story, one that I’ll never forget as long as I live. I was 25 years old, living in New York State where I was attending Chiropractic College. It was my dream. I had recently graduated from university and had worked very hard to get there. I was excited to immerse myself in my newly chosen career.

Now, people come to me with all types of other health issues, too, such as chronic neck or back pain, chronic fatigue, menstrual cramps, asthma and chemical sensitivities. I take each case as a personal challenge to help my patients get well and to teach them that health comes from within - from our body’s innate healing ability.

Since childhood, sports had been my thing.

I loved to play soccer, swim, run and mountain bike. That is until one day, during my first year in college, I suffered a major injury playing soccer. I remember the pain. At first, I started experiencing ankle, foot and leg pain. Then my lower back started to really hurt. It was so unbearable that I could barely sit in class without my leg, foot and ankle feeling tingly and numb.

After some time, it didn’t seem to be getting any better. And that’s not all.

I went to the doctor. I was prescribed muscle relaxers and pain medication, which made me feel very sick. I tried other healing modalities but nothing was working. I started to get pretty scared. My stress levels rose and my symptoms began to get worse. Here I was, just a young guy walking around with this awful pain every day. I started asking myself, would I have to live like this forever? But listen to this.

She practiced a new, gentle form of chiropractic that had helped my body heal itself through light chiropractic adjustments.

Not only had my life changed radically, I now knew I could continue to pursue my dreams of becoming a chiropractor and help others who wanted to heal chronic, life-al-

Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to regain and improve your health. So, when you bring in this article (by January 30, 2015), you’ll receive our new patient health consultation, computerized spinal exam, your first gentle adjustment, and a follow-up visit for only $30. This package could cost you over $200 elsewhere. And, you’ll be happy to know that further care is very reasonable, if needed.

We have affordable plans for those without the benefit of insurance. You see, I’m not trying to seduce you with this cheap start-up deal only to make it up later with high fees. Further care is very important to consider when choosing your doctor. High costs can add up quickly.

Incredible Care at affordable fees

HERE’S WHAT SOME OF MY PATIENTS HAVE SAID: “Back pain is no longer a controlling factor in my life. In fact, it is gone! I am amazed and truly grateful. “ – Wende S. “Visiting Dr. Chambers has transformed my life. I walk taller, have better posture, sleep better, store less stress, have more energy and eat healthier. Profound!” – Jeff W. “I was experiencing incapacitating migraines and had chronic shoulder pain from an old injury. I stand tall, have greater flexibility my shoulder is now pain-free and my migraines have virtually disappeared. I feel more resilient to the daily stresses of life. Thank you.”

– Kathleen C. Several times a day people thank me for helping with their health problems. But you should know that, I don’t heal anyone of anything.

What I do is provide a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results, it’s as simple as that!

Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care. You’ll get professional care at a great fee. My qualifications…I graduated from New York Chiropractic College, Magna Cum Laude. I’ve been entrusted to take care of patients ranging from newborn babies to professional athletes. My mission is to help more people get care so they can heal themselves naturally and create a healthy lifestyle!

My wife, Pamela Chambers D.C. (who you see in the photo), is an incredibly passionate and skilled doctor of chiropractic who graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic. She loves working with women and children. We founded this practice in 2003. Since then we’ve practiced together with a shared vision of helping people to heal themselves naturally and express their full potential.

Our assistant Jessica is a really kind and caring person. Our office is friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.

That’s when a friend asked me to try her doctor. The new doctor did an exam, a couple of diagnostic tests and then gently “adjusted” me. That adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. After she was done, I knew that something had shifted inside me and I felt really different. And guess what? I started getting better. Before I knew it, I was back playing sports again. Not only that, but after a while, my allergies also disappeared. And by the way, the new doctor was a chiropractor.

in 2013, places to play were in high demand. So when the popular field went out of commission, it forced teams to jump back and forth between other spaces, like Mission Hill Middle School, UCSC, Harvey West Park, Soquel High School, and Cabrillo College. Coaches and players were forced to make do.

That made it all the more exciting when the spot reopened after repairs on Dec. 9, renamed Scott Kennedy Fields. The space is now being shared by the boys and girls varsity teams for Santa Cruz High and Harbor High School, along with a few soccer leagues.

Goldberg of Santa Cruz High first began playing varsity soccer as a freshman at Depot. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, she and her fellow Cardinals won their season-opening game against Saint Francis High School back on

their old home field. “It’s nice to come back to Depot for the end of my Santa Cruz High soccer career,” she says.

The field isn’t only popular for organized play, either.

After games and practices, avid fans have been lining the sidelines, balls tucked under their arms as they eagerly await pickup games.

“It’s a pretty busy field already,” says parks superintendent Mauro Garcia. “They’re making up for lost time.”

Players love artificial turf, because its smooth uninterrupted surface lets the ball travel better, allowing for a faster game. The even turf is also safer, preventing against ankle injuries. City leaders love it, partly because it doesn’t need water.

Depot’s new field, named after former mayor and Resource Center for Nonviolence co-founder Scott Kennedy, has a few new aspects that

make it extra special, Garcia says.

For one, it has hash marks along one side, for players to use when running sprints, and it has features painted on that allow players to run drills. The field also has markings that allow it to be divided into two smaller fields side-by-side, allowing two games or practices to happen simultaneously. On the eastern side of the park, the grass extends diagonally, leaving an extra piece of land that often went unused in the old park. This time around, the parks and recreation department put in a tiny practice field on that patch for kids. It can also be used as a warm-up spot while another game is going on.

But one of the more significant features of the new field, Garcia says, is its “crown,” or sloped surface. Like a modern-day NFL field, this soccer field’s surface curves slightly down to the >18

NEWS BRIEFS ROUND THE CURVE Highway 17 drivers can get ready to sound off. CalTrans is going to want to hear from you for an Access Management Plan to help the flow of traffic on the winding stretch of highway between Mount Hermon and Summit roads. Safety on Highway 17 has consistently improved due to various changes to the roadway, according to Susana Cruz, Public Information Officer for CalTrans District Five (which stretches from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz County).

But it’s not yet time to relax.

“There’s still accidents on 17, it’s not a worry-free highway. It still requires managing,” says Cruz.

One possible idea for the future, CalTrans officials say, is to decrease onramps to improve traffic flow and limit accidents.

“CalTrans will be looking for feedback from everyone,” says Colin Jones, Public and Legislative

Affairs Manager for District Five.

Jones says District Five staff is developing a list of stakeholders in Santa Cruz County that includes public agencies, transportation providers, bicycle and pedestrian groups, emergency responders, environmental groups, and, of course, the Silicon Valley commuters who endure the daily grind.

“We’re looking at the corridor holistically,” says Brandy Rider, Senior Transportation Planner for District Five. The nuts and bolts of the project, she adds, include how drivers access the highway.

Still in its infant stages, the study is, for now, a pilot project that Santa Cruz County will lead, but the curvy roadway extends into Santa Clara County CalTrans, which is in District Four. Santa Clara County CalTrans will take a look at the results on the Santa Cruz side, before undertaking an access management plan of its own.

“We’re looking at a more fullfledged corridor study that plans strategies related to highway safety, access and mobility,” said Bernard Walik, Public Information Officer for CalTrans District Four.

Jones says his staff is working on the public engagement strategies for those who live in the Santa Cruz area. He says that could include focus groups or web-based participation. CalTrans will partner with The Santa Cruz County and the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) to reach out to stakeholders.

The first workshop is expected to take place sometime this spring.

Traffic experts have 18 months left on the study, which began last summer. In addition to public feedback, CalTrans will rely on data collected from traffic sensors, cameras and some field study, like mapping the places where animals cross the road.

Speaking of wildlife crossings, The Land Trust of Santa Cruz

County recently secured the purchase of 280 acres east of Highway 17’s Laurel Curve, which is the first phase of getting a wildlife tunnel constructed there.

The organization met its $1 million dollar fundraising goal through private donations on Jan. 3.

“I’m ecstatic. Our community really pulled through,” says Calah Pasley, Development and Outreach Manager for The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County.

With phase 1 now complete, Pasley says she can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Phase 2 involves fundraising to buy 190 acres west of Laurel Curve, Pasley says. She expects the Land Trust will partner with the RTC for state grants to get construction of the wildlife crossing under way. According to Pasley, tunnel burrowing could begin anytime after summer 2016, and construction will not interrupt the flow of traffic on Highway 17. C.J. CANNINO

about 60 homeless individuals. Dec. 30 was the first night the program operated, after more than a year of preparation.

In December 2013, a 10-day cold snap struck the Bay Area, and four homeless people died in Santa Clara County as a result. Adams and a group of concerned citizens organized to find a way to shelter homeless individuals on cold nights to prevent similar incidents from occurring locally.

The Santa Cruz County 2013 Report on Homeless Deaths states that 43 percent of homeless deaths occurred either outside or in a parked vehicle, and on any given night in the county, there are thousands of people sleeping outside.

According to the point-in-time homeless count conducted by Watsonville-based Applied Survey Research, in January 2013, the homeless population in Santa Cruz County increased from 2,771 individuals in 2011 to 3,536 in 2013.

The Homeless Services Center in Santa Cruz provides hundreds of beds to homeless individuals year-round, and opens up the National Guard Armory from Nov. 15 to April 15 to provide additional beds in the winter. There

are also shelters provided by the Salvation Army, and in Watsonville at the Pajaro Valley Shelter, but that still leaves more than an estimated 80 percent of the local homeless population out in the cold on frigid winter nights.

Since last winter, Adams and volunteers have composed a protocol of actions to follow based on the California Office of Emergency Services’ (OES) contingency plan for cold-weather emergencies. When the National Weather Survey forecasts overnight temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below, individuals can call 211 to find out where the temporary shelter will be for the night. Adams and volunteers also use a passenger van to scour the streets for anyone looking for a warm night’s rest.

But even with a specific protocol in place, Adams and volunteers have faced difficulty when trying to find spaces to temporarily shelter the homeless.

After reaching out to dozens of organizations, Calvary Episcopal Church on Center and Lincoln streets in Santa Cruz stepped up to host the launch of the Warming Center Program, just before the New Year.

“I was amazed,” says Nancy Krusoe, a retired UCSC writing professor, and volunteer

for the Warming Center Program. “There were no behavioral issues, and nothing extraordinary happened. The lights went out and everyone went to sleep.”

The first nights of the program went off without a hitch, but Adams and his volunteers discovered some logistical challenges they didn’t foresee going in. Citizens of Santa Cruz provided the program with more than a hundred blankets, but those warm coverings have to be washed after each use, which can be a daunting task at a coin-operated laundromat.

“We didn’t realize how expensive laundry would be, and we’re hoping that the community will help with that expense in the future,” says Krusoe.

Getting community buy-in is an important upcoming step for the program. It remains to be seen how easily that will come, or whether the so-called “Brent factor” will be an issue, but Adams doesn’t think it will be. “The program is apolitical, and only offered as a solution to the problem,” says Adams. “It is, at its heart, pure compassion in action.”

The program has already gotten support from Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane.

"I am quite familiar with the effort, and made a donation to support it. I also met recently with the lead organizers to offer my thoughts on funding and building support for this kind of program," says Lane.

"Generally, it is a very worthwhile effort. I think a well-organized, broad-based project could garner city support. I think Brent has not been as successful as I had hoped in bridging some divides in the community and building stronger alliances. This has been an impediment to progress in the broader community.”

The rewards of volunteering for the program far outweigh the logistical challenges associated with the centers, according to Krusoe. “It feels good to offer real help to those that need it,” she says.

Adams and Warming Center volunteers hope to find additional spaces to shelter the homeless across the county as the winter continues, but they have yet to find any other willing parties.

“My worry is that we are hamstrung because we don’t have locations, and people will be stuck freezing outside of a locked building,” says Adams.

NEWS CRITICAL GRASS <14 sides, with the field’s highest point in the very middle. That keeps the field from flooding when it rains by allowing water to drain better.

Water runs down the sides, where it avoids forming puddles and it instead percolates into the ground.

Semih Sabankaya, Santa Cruz High’s boys varsity coach, loves that the new field makes it possible to play rain or shine. He adds that he was “very depressed” during the year Santa Cruz had to endure without its most prized soccer spot.

And although he’s excited to have it back, he says Santa Cruz is ready for an additional field. And he even has some tips for how Depot could be improved.

“The field is wonderful. The only thing missing—and the community will love it—is stadium lights,” says Sabankaya, who played on the original San Jose Earthquakes in the 1970s. “That will be the most used park in the whole community in a good way. It will make for a safer community. Idle minds are troubled minds. Most of the kids, when they have nothing to do, they get themselves in trouble.”

Lights may be an intriguing proposition, but they certainly aren’t anything that the city would install overnight. It just so happens that the same idea was a hot discussion item when the first Depot field was being planned out, says Garcia, and the city opted not to go in that direction. “At this point we don’t have any intention of putting lights in,” he says.

During the initial discussions, Garcia says, neighbors had concerns about the evening glare from stadium lights towering over the streets. “That was a while back.

It may be in the future, but it’s too early to say,” Garcia adds about the possibility of lighting.

As for an additional field in the city, that is something on Parks and Rec’s radar, especially if the right opportunity comes along.

“We would love to get another field out there,” Garcia says, “and we’re keeping our eye on a couple grant funding options.”

says Pursley, who pushes clients outdoors for challenging walks punctuated by pushups on a bench, or squats, or using stretching straps instead of weights.

“It’s all about using your body to work for you,” he says. “If people learned to use their bodies they would work out more on their own time. I’m not in the business of only keeping people close to workout. They can come back and get refreshed and we can show them new things all the time.”

In 27 years of managing gyms, Fathali has learned that the best way to keep clients coming back to his Santa Cruz Power Fitness is to set them up with a personal trainer.

The average New Year’s client will last only six weeks without a trainer, he says, and 18 months with one. The trainers give guidance and accountability, he says, and at $70 an hour or $40 for a half hour, will provide the results that keep clients coming back for more. His club serves 5,500 members—only about 14 percent of whom show up on any given day. He’s got old-school classes, such as step aerobics and Zumba, and newer ones, including cardio kickboxing and yoga.

“The trend in 2015 is that people don’t see value in gym memberships,” he says. “They see value in personal training. I sit every client down and assess them, and then with a trainer they have accountability.”

People get bored just using machines, he says. And TV commercials fool us into thinking we can have perfect abs in seven minutes.

“Fitness is hard,” he says. “It’s not five-to-seven minutes. It’s 40 minutes three times a week. People are lazy. They buy home equipment and after two weeks it becomes an expensive coat hanger. You want to know a scary statistic? Eighty-four percent of the people in this country are involved in an exercise program.

That means my audience is only 16 percent of this community.”

Fathali uses dollar incentives to break the inertia. If you sign up for his $45 monthly fee, he will give you a $1 break for each day you workout in the first month—lowering the following months’ fees accordingly.

So, if you work out every day for a month, your annual monthly fee is $15.

Cabrillo Fitness manager Shawn Johnston is a believer in highintensity cross training workouts, a series of which was developed by his club’s chain, Toadal Fitness. He also believes in personal trainers. Every new member gets three free sessions with a trainer and follow-up phone calls to see how he or she is doing.

To keep up with new fitness trends, Johnston’s club gives members a chance to vote twice a year on new classes or machines they want. “That way we learn about things right away, as opposed to waiting for it to trickle down from YouTube in France,” he says. One possible new class involves hula dancing, he says, suggested by a member.

With five area clubs, ranging from Scotts Valley to Aptos, locally owned Toadal Fitness is the area’s most expansive, and includes classes such as pilates, spinning, boot camp, yoga, zumba, tai chi and qigong.

Johnston sees a trend of older members needing serious guidance coming back from injuries and finding ways to exercise without damaging their bodies. He also likes to keep members from getting bored with the same habits and exercises.

Small classes are one answer, he says. They are less costly than a one-on-one trainer, but they provide incentive to keep pushing. “You can be carrying around 46 years of bad habits,” Johnston says. “Our goal is to create new, healthy ones.”

Then they disappeared.

On a training summit, Snyder met an Iowa athletic educator who brought them back. A surfer and weight lifter, Snyder had been having problems with his shoulder that he thought would require surgery to fix, but repetitive movements with the clubs fixed it.

“Swinging them in a circular fashion opens up the shoulders, relieves tension around the torso and neck, and helps build coordination,” Snyder says.

“When you look at da Vinci’s ‘Illustrated Man’ you see the arms reach a circle. The older we get the more that sphere shrinks. This expands the level of support and comfort in all directions. It’s a nice focus without lifting a bunch of heavy weights.”

Self-Help That Really Helps One writer reveals her secret obsession with self-help books, in the hopes of helping readers find the ones that transcend the genre’s shady reputation BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

JANUARY 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

ere’s my dirty little secret: alongside the literature, art, travel, satire, and way too many cookbooks lining my bookshelves, there are an embarrassing number of self-help titles. What can I say? As addictions go, it beats heroin, porn, or hidden stashes of oreos (OK, I actually do have a few of those). More to the point, I’ve always been drawn by the siren song of personal development, and soothed more often than I care to admit by advice that I don’t put into practice. Procrastination, thy name is Eckhart Tolle.

The self-help industry lives for January, when our resolutions have been made—eat less, move more, save money, let go, seize the day, be nice—and we’re looking for something, anything, to help us keep them. Our weight issues feel conquerable, and goals like running a 10K or wearing a bathing suit in public seem as far off as summer solstice. The happiness and habit gurus are champing at the bit, too, raring to break down all paths to perfection into 10 easy steps (or rather, seven easy steps, or rules, or codes. Self-help authors love the number seven).

If you think this is a relatively new phenomenon, think again.

Benjamin Franklin got the ball rolling in 1759 with Poor Richard’s Almanac, and followed up with his autobiography. Readers

still gravitate to his practical engagement with the process of self-improvement, but also note how often he praises his own humility.

Ralph Waldo Emerson followed, coining the phrase “self-help” in his essay “Compensation.” The concept really took off, though, with Dale Carnegie’s book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” which still flies off the shelves. For better or worse, the notion of self-help is as American as apple pie.

But buyer beware. The self-help industry will take in over $12 billion this year in the United States alone; such is our eagerness to live our best lives. If you wonder who is benefiting most from our collective yearning, just ask Oprah.

While there are gifted writers exploring behavioral psychology and personal development, there can be an addictive quality to the consumption of self-help books. The people most likely to buy one in the next year are the same people who bought them last year.

So, can any of us flawed, susceptible, curious readers have a healthy relationship with self-help books? Is there middle ground in such a vast territory of emotional aspiration traveled by so many charlatans?

The answer to both questions is: maybe. The best way to start is probably to ditch the “self-help” label. As George Carlin put it so

well, “I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, ‘Where’s the self-help section?’ She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.” Since he spent his career pondering the absurdities of the human condition, I think he would agree that any one-size-fits-all guide to well-being should be kicked to the curb. Instead, it’s up to us to seek out great writing, solid research, relevant experience, and earned insight.

That said, I remain a semiabashed fan of the genre, so the question is: what’s worth reading as we hope for a healthier, happier 2015?

To get started, check out

Atul Gawande’s book “Checklist Manifesto.” Finally, someone makes checklists cool. If anyone gives you grief about your endless listmaking, throw some Gawande power at them and say, “checklists save lives.” His new book, “Being Mortal,” cuts straight to the visceral heart of our humanity, and argues with great compassion that as we age, the quality of our lives matters more than extending them.

For all the misfits sure that success is meant for others, read Malcolm Gladwell’s “David & Goliath.”

He points out that weakness is often strength under the right circumstances, and backs up his work with wonderful storytelling

Equally tuned in to “aha” moments are the great humorists.

Read Mark Twain, Anne Lamott, Caitlin Moran, and David Sedaris, to name a few, for fearless writing, tough love, questionable advice, and compassion when it counts.

Great novelists and poets teach volumes as well.

Whether it’s Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, John Green, or Billy Collins, their finest work speaks to our better selves.

I’m also a huge fan of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s annual Books for a

Better Life Award. It’s been around for more than a decade and gains more fans every year.

Curated by influential journalists, publishing, and healthcare professionals, it awards the best titles in 10 categories, including health, food, green issues, parenting, psychology, relationships, motivation, spirit, etc.

This year’s nominees can be found at nationalmssociety.org.

So let your curiosity nudge you gently toward your dreams, but be realistic. There are countless ideas about how to move forward in life, and a wealth of writers to light the way.

Lee Quarnstrom’s memoir recalls the golden age of pyschedelics BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

fter decades as a journalist, travels with Neal Cassady and Ken Kesey, countless Acid Tests as a member of the Merry Pranksters, and seven (7) wives, Lee Quarnstrom has not only done it all—he has lived to tell about it.

HOT TICKET

And tell all, he does, in the smokin’ hot collection of memories, tall tales, and just-so stories about the golden age of psychedelics—“When I Was a Dynamiter: or How a Nice Catholic Boy Became a Merry Prankster, a Pornographer and a Bridegroom 7 Times.”

MUSIC Father John Misty gets real P40

For better or worse, Quarnstrom not only tripped and toked his way through the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, but he remembers more of it than anyone still alive. Or so it seems, reading the anecdoterich pages of this now pithy, now rambling, all-juicy memoir.

MUSIC Harbor House: A little bluegrass, a little ... ska? P38

Students of late Bohemia and early Hippiedom will find much to savor in Quarnstrom’s longoverdue autobiography, though they might bemoan its lack of an index. Ram Dass, Hunter S. Thompson, Ken Kesey, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia,

<36 Kampstra, Tom Wolfe,

38

Paul Krassner, Alan Ginsberg, and several hundred hippie chicks who decorated the Summer of Love are all recalled here with surprising affection and candor.

Quarnstrom’s “on the road” saga led from a Pacific Northwest childhood, to Chicago reportage, to Ken Kesey’s digs in La Honda, and adventures with the Merry Pranksters in their infamous bus, “Further,” to Mexico and back.

Quarnstrom recounts his time as editor of Larry Flynt’s smutty porno-copia Hustler, as well as his friendship with and respect for Flynt’s wife Althea, who ran the show after Flynt was paralyzed by a wacko gunman. Quarnstrom spent almost two decades as the Santa Cruz rep for the San Jose Mercury News, until his son’s murder and the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 took away a huge helping of his joie de vivre, and triggered a move to Southern California. There, at a high school reunion, Quarnstrom met the woman who became—and thus far remains—his seventh wife.

Like many road trips, and certainly all acid trips, this literary journey bristles with sudden digressions, robust non sequiturs, and sudden bursts of insight. Some moments, like an infamous drug bust that put Quarnstrom and 13 other Pranksters in jail, or a hormonally drenched affair with a married woman in Mexico, saturate the pages with immediacy.

Save for a few tragic events, Quarnstrom has led a charmed life. He just happened to be a big, handsome blond who arrived— without any plans that couldn’t be ditched instantly—at the very epicenter of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll when he was 20. That culture—druggies, rock stars, poets, legendary beatniks, and easy women—took to Quarnstrom like a razor blade on a mirror. The fit was perfect, and as Quarnstrom recalls it, the ride was glorious.

I remember one of Quarnstrom’s birthday parties where the handsome host was already passed out on the floor by the time I

&

arrived. So I joined a few other toasted females in straddling Lee’s huge body and writing birthday greetings, in waterproof magic marker, on his stomach. It was like that.

The life-changing friendship with the “psychedelic Pied Piper” Ken Kesey was riddled with alpha male posturing, as well as hero worship on Quarnstrom’s part.

His detailed recounting of Neal Cassady’s fabled ability to multitask while driving (it means what you think, and more), makes for a rollicking, drug-amplified read. Quarnstrom’s marriages— including one on-stage during a rock concert at the Fillmore—are recalled, but without many words of wisdom. Nor does he choose to examine his relationships with women past the point of penetration. If he gleaned any insights about his many, many lady loves, he isn’t telling.

Closer attention is paid to male camaraderie and the varieties of psychedelic highs, including delightful details of a DMT moment: “I saw that my fingers had fingers that had fingers, and boy, were they tiny.” Many heads will nod in agreement.

“When I was a Dynamiter” will find the audience it deserves among those who lived along the lawless frontier of drugs and pranksterism, before the world became regulated for our own good. The book is slightly compromised by erratic formatting; indents too deep, paragraphs truncated, uneven line spacing. But the author’s unabashed pleasure in remembering a life lived to overflowing—and beyond—carries every word.

At the end, Quarnstrom admits he’s learned that “given the right circumstances, the right audience, we may be able to float again for a moment in familiar spaces where we have flown before.”

And in these remembered spaces Quarnstrom floats mighty high.

Josh Tillman uses his Father John Misty alter ego to explore real feelings on new record BY AARON CARNES

T

echnically speaking, 2012’s Fear Fun was Father John Misty’s debut record. More accurately, though, it was Josh Tillman’s eighth record. Before adopting the new moniker, Tillman’s credits included a stint as the drummer for Saxon Shore, and then Fleet Foxes. In other words, by the time Father John Misty was beginning his career, Tillman was already a seasoned musician.

The name change was a weird one, too, bringing to mind a charismatic cult leader. According to Tillman, it literally means nothing, just a totally arbitrary name he invented.

However, “Father John Misty”

immediately became something new for Tillman. Perhaps it was simply the act of assuming an alter ego, but Fear Fun explored completely new musical territory than his prior seven albums, which tended to wallow in dreary, muted folk. It skipped along adventurously through ’70s pop, folk, soul and rock, all with a toetapping quality to it. His full-band arrangements and his songwriting skills are better than ever. If there’s one overarching weakness to the record, it’s a certain coldness. He was writing great songs, but was he really feeling them?

I Love You Honeybear, which he releases on Sub Pop on Feb. 10, is

Tillman’s ninth record, and his second as Father John Misty. If Fear Fun gave him the distance to get outside of his head long enough to explore the craft of songwriting, not just his miserable thoughts, the new album finds him exploring his new personality more deeply.

The genre palette he draws from is similar, but leans a little more toward R&B, also finding influence from Randy Newman, and taking on bigger arrangements. The full band is complemented with orchestral strings, waves of horns, percussion, electronic texturing and the occasional ring of a glockenspiel. The music is sweeping and epic, but that works for him. As

a singer, he actually sounds like he’s feeling it, or at least he’s gotten better at faking it.

But what exactly is he feeling?

On the surface, it’s love. The title cut is a gorgeous ballad, a love song to “honeybear,” perhaps one of the most generic pet names imaginable— perhaps pointedly so. Each song deals with love in some capacity. In a long, rambling and frankly bizarre press release, he explains in no uncertain terms that the album is about love, but he doesn’t seem very comfortable with the idea. Here’s a snippet several paragraphs in, after he’s explained he’s never tried to write a love song before: “It seems like the only acceptable perspectives from which to write about love in the current cultural hegemony are that of 1.) persecuted, heartbroken pathos or 2.) infantile, sentimental banality. More often than not the former (1.), which is really not to sing about love at all, but rather the absence of love, which is self-pity.”

He goes on to describe I Love You, Honeybear as “a concept album about a guy named Josh Tillman [yes, himself] who spends quite a bit of time … cultivating weak ties with strangers and generally avoiding intimacy at all costs.”

Creating a concept album about yourself in the third person is so instantly eye-rolling, it’s hard to look past it. However, if anything, it sheds light on why Tillman suddenly gave himself a stage name over a decade into his career—this is it.

Or maybe it’s all a joke, or just horribly self-indulgent? Or maybe we should indulge him as he jumps between identities in order to sing about love. It’s perhaps the most sung about subject on the planet, but how often does a love song actually ring true? As basic and unifying as love is, it’s one of the most complex experiences we can have. How else can you honestly explore it without diving into its contradictions?

Whatever the truth in any of all this is, it seems Tillman is getting a better handle on the identity he created for himself, and a better understanding of how to use it to express real feelings.

“We had an excellent introduction and first visit to All Pets Veterinary Clinic, from our initial call to inquire about services, scheduling an appointment the very next day, new patient intake process and throughout our appointment with Dr. Ken Cholden. All Pets reception was warm, welcoming and efficient. Our phone call was promptly returned, veterinary records on our pet were requested, transferred and reviewed prior to our appointment. Our small dog was treated kindly and respectfully and his ailments were addressed immediately with gentle care. We enjoyed meeting everyone in the office and we look forward to our next visit.

WEDNESDAY 1/21 THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE UTOPIA Filmmaker Joel Gilbert has traversed the vast United States in pursuit of the answer to a very vital question—what is Utopia and where is it? Can it be found through hard work, dedication and family values? Is it in Kansas or Kentucky? From Detroit to Denver, through urban removal projects and slums, his film There’s No Place Like Utopia unpacks the promises of what the world “should be” and the many shades of political correctness.

Hosted by the Freedom Forum of Santa Cruz, this screening will delve into the questions of the American Dream and more.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

HARBOR HOUSE Folk, country, bluegrass—and ska? How does that old song go? One of these things is not like the other. That doesn’t seem to bother local trio Harbor House, who claim every single one of those genres as an influence, and even go so far as to call their genre “folk-ska.” They don’t think it’s as weird as it might sound.

“There’s a lot of similarities between all these different genres. It’s kind of silly to try and specify too strongly,” says bassist Emma Shaw. “People have called us bluegrass before, but I just think we’re too small a band to be bluegrass. Maybe if we had a fiddle or a banjo.”

JANUARY 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Visually, the band has more in common with a folk band than, say, a ska band.

They are an acoustic trio with a big upright bass, two guitars and no drums— and definitely no horns. It’s fun dance music, like an old-timey, foot-stomping hootenanny, but there is an emphasis on the upbeat, high level of energy—like in ska—that comes directly from singer/ guitarist Ian Spilman’s roots.

50

“The band I was in before this was a ska band. We aim to have a lot of that energy. We really want a party-going crowd,” Spilman says. “The music has those staccato hits on the second and fourth beat of every measure—it’s this beautiful mixture of old-style music and instruments with the younger generation’s approach to things.”

Since the band’s formation two years ago, they’ve become slightly less acoustic. Guitarist Mike McCarthy now plays electric guitar, and everyone else amplifies their acoustic instruments, but it’s still good old-fashioned folk-ska.

“It’s louder, so we can play bigger venues and for bigger crowds,” Spilman says.

“We have one or two songs where I want people to mosh around and bump into each other a little bit. It’s more in the energy of punk music.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

GEOGRAPHER

WEDNESDAY 1/14 COUNTRY

WHITEY MORGAN & THE 78’s If you didn’t know better, you’d swear Whitey Morgan was one of country music’s band of outlaws that included Waylon, Johnny, Willie and Merle.

He’s got the twang, the road-ready slide-guitar-driven melodies, and the tales of bad luck and good love. Hailing from Flint, Michigan, Morgan is the real deal of American roots music—a country artist that shies away from the glitz and glamour of the new Nashville, sticking with the tried-and-true sound of classic honky-tonk. And it doesn’t hurt that he sounds a hell of a lot like Waylon. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/ door. 479-1854.

ACOUSTIC GUITAR

MURIEL ANDERSON There’s this thing called a harp guitar.

It is, as one might imagine, a combi-

nation of a harp and a guitar, with an arm rainbowing out of the guitar body to create the harp. The list of master harp guitar players is relatively small, and includes the inimitable Muriel Anderson, whose fingerpicking prowess is known far and wide in guitar aficionado circles. An award-winning artist and longtime fixture on the acoustic scene, Anderson weaves seamlessly across genres, blending styles and techniques with apparent ease. As Les Paul said, she is “just one hell of a great player.”

THE HARMED BROTHERS Barely five years in the making, this indiegrass (their word) band has already made some serious connections with their fans. Over the course of three albums, including 2013’s Better Days,

they have engaged listeners with tales of love, loss, joy and woe of the worst kind.

They have captured the hearts of fans by showing that rock stars know the ups and downs of this rollercoaster ride called life just as well as they do, and the insight and commiseration they offer is a balm for the weary soul. Melancholic at times, but always beautiful, these guys will leave you feeling assured that there is indeed light at the end of even the darkest of tunnels. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 1/16 REGGAE ROCK

TRIBAL SEEDS It didn’t take long for Tribal Seeds to make a splash upon releasing their first album in 2008, winning a San Diego Music Award for “Best World Music Album.” And they haven’t stopped, releasing a series of albums and EPs which have landed in the top five of Billboard’s Reggae chart, and which have been praised by various media outlets. Their latest, last year’s Representing, received

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST TANDY BEAL FAMILY CONCERTS Celebrating 40 “odd” years in 2015, Tandy Beal & Company presents a First Saturday Family Concert Series packed with talent, excitement, and plenty of fun for children and their grownups. First up is the powerhouse, percussion-driven vocal ensemble Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir. Next is Keith Terry’s Crosspulse Percussion Ensemble, a rhythm-based, intercultural, participatory event, followed by Micha Scott Dances, a highenergy, fun-filled dance performance, and The Magic Carpet - World Dance, a tour of dance styles from around the world. CAT JOHNSON

GOODNIGHT MOONSHINE

“Best of 2014” praise from both iTunes and Billboard. BP INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 423-1338.

SATURDAY 1/17 CHARMAS Charmas are a group of local music lovers—and the music they love the most is traditional Celtic folk music.

The six members have an eclectic background and have all played different styles of music in the past, but found a shared interest in classic Irish music. Together they evoke the look, sound and feel of 19th century rural Ireland. They play a variety of classic Irish instruments including fiddle, bagpipes, guitar, mandolin, bodhran, banjo, pennywhistle, vocals and the wooden flute. They play regular gigs at Irish pubs and restaurants. This is an opportunity to catch them front and center as the evening’s primary entertainment. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

INDIE

GEOGRAPHER The members of the San Francisco indie-electro trio Geographer came up with a clever band description—“soulful music from outer space”—but really the band takes strong elements of rock and gives it a light, airy groove and a dense layer of textured synths on top of it, a sort of Arcade Fire meets early Brian Eno meets Animal Collective. It’s the kind of sound that earned them the “best up-and-coming band” slap on the back for years. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 429-4135.

MONDAY 1/19

BLUES & MODERN FOLK

GOODNIGHT MOONSHINE

If you are familiar with the American trio Red Molly, then you know the siren-like song that escapes from Molly Venter’s lips on a regular basis.

Now, pair that vocal quality with a bluesy, folky sound and you have a sense of what Goodnight Moonshine is all about. Guitarist Eben Pariser of Roosevelt Dime fame anchors things with evocative guitar work that at times gives the duo’s self-titled debut album a classic feel, a la She & Him, and he proves to be capable enough in the harmony department himself. BP INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Highway 9, Felton. $12. 603-2294.

ORGAN JAZZ

BRIAN CHARETTE TRIO Already a rising star in the jazz world thanks to multiple Grammy nominations and an endorsement from Hammond, Brian Charette proves time and again that he is an energetic tourde-force. Whether he is covering classic material or churning out new songs, Charette’s classic organ trio style is sure to please, and hey, anyone who has played with the likes of Paul Simon and Cyndi Lauper is pretty noteworthy. BP INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $27/door. 427-2227.

FILM

STANDING TALL David Oyelowo plays Dr. Martin Luther King in the politically charged ‘Selma.’

Profiles in Courage JANUARY 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Politics get personal in Ava DuVernay’s ‘Selma’ BY LISA JENSEN

56

I

t’s been 50 years since the landmark Voting Rights Act was signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson. It may not sound like an exciting piece of legislation, but it made a world of difference to millions of black Americans, mostly in the south, who had been effectively disenfranchised for generations, unable to have a voice in their own government.

Now, the struggle to make the VRA a reality is dramatized in Selma, an extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature from director Ava DuVernay. Scripted

by Paul Webb, the story chronicles a few months early in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King organized a courageous series of protest marches

from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery, to publicize the suppression of black voting rights to the White House—and the world. In our own particular historical moment, when “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying cry in our streets, and the VRA has been shamefully gutted by the current Supreme Court, this movie could not be more timely.

At the center of DuVernay’s film is Dr. King, played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by Anglo-African actor David Oyelowo.

A recent Nobel Peace Prize honoree, co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and champion of nonviolent protest, King lives by the creed, “Demonstrate.

Negotiate. Resist.” When his negotiations with President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson)—who is sympathetic, but worried about alienating political allies in the south—do not result in immediate voting reform legislation, King and other SCLC leaders head to Selma.

Refusing to wait until it’s politically convenient for Johnson to support voting rights, King hopes a massive demonstration will galvanize public support to his cause.

Which it does—but at a dreadful cost. The riot police and mounted state troopers wielding barbed billy clubs, and armed with tear gas and bullwhips, assembled by Alabama Governor George Wallace (played as a silky, snarling martinet by Tim

Roth) to stop the march, are not on board with the nonviolence thing.

The “Bloody Sunday” melee that concludes the first march is captured live on TV and broadcast around the world—earning massive global support for the marchers and forcing Johnson to act.

Director DuVernay wisely dramatizes the material by sticking to personal stories. We see how King’s fierce moral principles put a strain on his marriage to Coretta (Carmel Ejogo); it’s bad enough he continues to put himself in harm’s way, but she’s the one who has to field obscene phone calls and threats to their children at home.

Particularly after we see a toadlike J. Edgar Hoover (Dylan Baker) pressure Johnson to allow him to try his “dismantle the family” tactic to neutralize King.

Personalized, too, are defining moments in the civil rights movement that most of us remember (if we remember them at all) only as newspaper headlines. DuVernay’s handling of the bomb blast that kills four little girls in an Alabama church, while not graphic, is utterly devastating in its sudden, shocking finality. As the peaceful marchers run into police opposition, historical statistics become faces and lives we care about—like Jimmie Lee Jackson (Keith Stanfield) escorting his 84-year-old grandfather and mother to the marches. Or Roy Reed (John Lavelle), a white minister from Boston whose conscience won't allow him to sit on the sidelines.

It’s appalling how far our current lawmakers have backslid on the VRA, after seeing how much these people sacrificed to make it a reality.

In Selma, DuVernay reminds us that all politics are personal.

NOTE: The NAACP of Santa Cruz County and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are hosting a series of events this week celebrating the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Visit rcnv.org or call 423-1626 for details.

NOW PLAYING ANNIE The delightful Quvenzhané Wallis (last seen in Beasts of the Southern Wild) takes on the iconic role of the beloved orphan heroine of comic book page and stage in this updated revamp of the popular musical. Jamie Foxx co-stars as the Daddy Warbucks guardian, here a politician who adopts the orphan in hopes it will improve his election chances. Rose Byrne, Cameron Diaz, and Bobby Cannavale have featured roles. Will Gluck directs.

(PG) 119 minutes.

BIG EYES Time-travel back to San Francisco in the late 1950s and early ‘60s in Tim Burton’s vivid, candycolored homage to the hugely popular big-eyed waifs painted by “Keane.”

Why make a biopic about such kitschy work? Because beneath the tale of the work itself lies the incipient women’s empowerment story about a charismatic alpha male who marketed like crazy, passing himself off as the author of work painted by his unsung wife for 10 years. Christoph Waltz is effective, if exhausting, as the imposter Walter Keane; Amy Adams evolves nicely, if slowly, as the talented, but subjugated wife, Margaret Keane, he threatened and cajoled into keeping their secret for years, who finally claimed her place in the spotlight. (PG13) 109 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FOXCATCHER There’s much to admire in this thoughtful true-crime drama of money and privilege, severe delusions of grandeur, and a murder that rocked the pro wrestling world—although director Bennett Miller’s slow-moving narrative often threatens to sink under its own sense of gravitas. But the film is shored up

by three outstanding performances: Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as Olympic wrestling champion brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, and Steve Carrell in the pivotal role of poor little rich boy John du Pont, who inextricably inserts himself into the lives, careers, and destiny of the Schultz brothers. (R) 134 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

THE GAMBLER Mark Wahlberg stars as a mild-mannered English professor by day and a high-stakes gambler after hours who pits his gangster creditor against the owner of a gambling ring in a risky gamble for a second chance.

Jessica Lange, Brie Larson, and John Goodman co-star for director Rupert Wyatt in this update of the vintage James Caan movie. (R) 111 minutes.

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 Jennifer Lawrence returns again as Katniss Everdeen—along with most of the original cast—in this first installment of the third and last book in Suzanne Collins’ dystopian futurist sci-fi series.

(Part 2 comes out next year.) Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and Julianne Moore head the cast. Francis Lawrence directs. (PG-13) 123 minutes.

THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzlesolver, unsung in his own lifetime, who built the first computer to break the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II. Turing’s arrogant intelligence, closeted sexuality and borderline Asperger’s syndrome would reduce a lesser actor to tics and melodrama, but Cumberbatch’s commanding focus makes his performance a series of acute and subtle revelations. Morten Tyldum’s time-traveling narrative conveys the complexity of Turing’s story before, during, and after his work on Enigma, presenting the singular Turing as a man trying to crack the code of social “normality” throughout his life. Mark Strong, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Charles Dance offer smart supporting performances.

(PG-13) 114 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

INHERENT VICE Joaquin Phoenix stars as the hapless goofball

protagonist in this adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon comic novel about sex and drugs in 1970s L.A., as a low-rent private eye searches for a missing ex-girlfriend. Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Benicio Del Toro, and Reese Witherspoon co-star for director Paul Thomas Anderson. (R) 148 minutes. (Saved FGB) THE INTERVIEW Courageous blow for free speech and the American Way, or shameless publicity stunt?

You make the call, now that this Seth Rogen/James Franco comedy has slipped into theatres (right on schedule), after announcing last week it would be pulled from release—stirring up plenty of media controversy. Franco and Rogen play a celebrity tabloid TV host and his producer invited to North Korea to interview Kim Jong-un, but recruited en route by the CIA to assassinate him. Rogen and Evan Goldberg direct. (R) 112 minutes.

INTO THE WOODS Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s hit Broadway musical, a fairy-tale mashup for grown-ups, is capably directed by Rob Marshall into a savvy piece of moviemaking. A great cast of actors not known as singers (Meryl Streep as the Witch and the scene-stealing Chris Pine as Cinderella’s Prince are particularly good) delivers Sondheim’s witty lyrics and intricate harmonies with style and clarity. A dark and lush entertainment that considers classic fairy-tale themes in all their glamorous, sinister glory. PG) 125 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

SELMA Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

NOTE: The NAACP Santa Cruz County and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are hosting a series of events all this week celebrating the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Visit rcnv.org or call 4231626 for details.

TAKEN 3 Liam Neeson rides again as the implacably cool ex-CIA op who foiled complex kidnapping plots in the first two thrillers now using all his wicked counter-intelligence skills to elude the bad guys tracking him and clear himself of a bogus murder charge. Maggie Grace and

Famke Janssen co-star for returning director Olivier Megaton. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (Saved FGB) THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING The image of science icon Stephen Hawking slouched in his motorized wheelchair, communicating through his robotic voice synthesizer, is so well-known, it’s difficult to imagine him any other way. But that changes with this smart, funny, and tender biographical drama from director James Marsh. Beginning with Hawking as a vigorous young grad student at Cambridge, it tells the enduring love story of Hawking and his first wife, Jane. Oscars may loom for the exceptional performances by Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in a film that celebrates tenacity—in life, love, and ideas. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen.

UNBROKEN Angelina Jolie directs this World War II drama that follows the true story of Louis Zamperini from American distance runner at the 1936 Olympics, to Air Force captain shot down over the Pacific, to survivor in a brutal Japanese POW camp. Jack O’Connell stars, with Domhnall Gleeson, Garrett Hedlund, Finn Wittrock, and Japanese actor Miyavi in supporting roles. (PG-13) 137 minutes.

WILD The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. But the years of turmoil leading up to that step are as compelling as the journey itself in Jean-Marc Vallée’s screen adaptation of the bestselling memoir

by Cheryl Strayed about one novice hiker’s quest for redemption on the Pacific Crest Trail. While the woman vs. wilderness motif provides visual engagement (with the inexhaustible Reese Witherspoon as Strayed), the backstory featuring the great Laura Dern as Strayed’s mother gives the film scope and resonance. (R) 115 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH Forty years after the creepy events in the first movie, the same haunted house is unwisely chosen as the new home for a group of children evacuated from wartime London. Helen McCrory, Jeremy Irvine, and Phoebe Fox star. Tom Harper directs. (PG-13) 98 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK procure a big fat Kalifornia muffin— traditionally loaded with yuminducing items such as raisins, nuts, orange, and pineapple, similar to other fibery treats. But the addition of a micro-zest of green kale subtly alters the flavor of the popular muffin, in a hint-of-savory way. I prefer it to the traditional California muffin, and the lovely tweed effect of the shavings of emerald kale is pleasing to the eye. Eat one of these and feel superior all day long.

urely, I’m not the only one who enjoys the luscious guilt that accompanies a visit to Buttercup Cakes & Farm House Frosting on Locust Street in downtown Santa Cruz. I know I’m not alone in staring longingly at the illegally beautiful line-up of mini-cupcakes ($2), as well as their buxom full-figured big sisters ($4). The frostings alone are poetry, involving such unexpected hints and aromas of Earl Grey tea, hibiscus, kumquat and ginger. Surely, this visually seductive little shop and its orally unprecedented wares are a magnet for sweet teeth, chocophiles

and devotees of all things citrus.

My particular fetish is the small but elegant line of gluten-free mini cupcakes—baby cakes, if you will. And my new favorite creation as of 1 p.m. last Thursday is the carrot ginger gluten-free creation, topped with a buttery frosting that’s studded with tiny gem-like shards of crystallized ginger. I was moaning so much as I exited the store—my mouth already full of cake and frosting—that a very helpful guy came over to see if I required CPR. I shook my head, and pointed to the remaining bits of the cupcake. He nodded. He got it. And

he immediately went into Buttercup Cakes to find his own form of sin.

Reward yourself for something— anything—with a bite of buttercup heaven.

Buttercup is gourmet cupcake heaven, Kelly’s ‘Kalifornia’ muffin has a little something extra BY CHRISTINA WATERS

What a great idea: designing an adventurous dinner around the winter foraging brilliance of rare produce expert Freddy Menge! And that’s just what Soif chef Mark Denham and company will do in time for a Forager’s Dinner on Sunday, Jan. 18 (my birthday) at 6 p.m. What can you expect? Well, in addition to many items that must, of necessity, remain secret until the very last minute, Menge—who co-owns Epicenter Nursery, which specializes in rare and exotic avocados—is an expert at sourcing out specialty mushrooms, wild greens and berries, roots, weeds, leaves, and other ancient elements of soothing and provocative wintry dishes. Here is a man who knows his way around off-world patches of miner’s lettuce, who can locate an Elysian field of black trumpets and matsutakes with his eyes closed. In short, if it's wild and edible, Menge will be seeking it out for a dinner destined to be the stuff of local gourmet legend. Be advised that the menu for the upcoming foraging menu will not be entirely vegetarian (which is good news for those of us who have become addicted to Denham’s pork belly motets.) The price for the Forager’s Dinner is $75 per person, and this price includes wine pairings. Yes, you heard that right.

Wine and wild food for $75! (You will of course provide tax and tip as appropriate.) Stop reading right now and reach for your iPhone. Punch in Soif’s number—423-2020—and make your reservation. None dare call themselves adventurous who miss out on this primal food odyssey.

canning the shelves of Deluxe Foods of Aptos, which carries an impressive selection of local and imported wines, I picked up a bottle of Trout Gulch Vineyards Chardonnay 2012, described as “a local favorite” by the busy market. With forward aromas of citrus fruit and tropical notes of pineapple, this popular wine sells for $17.99, so the price is right. Hints of lemon zest and rose petals give the 2012 Chardonnay a beautiful nose, followed by rich flavors of green apple and bright lemon.

“Wines of depth and character come from grapes with the same pedigree,” says Trout Gulch’s Gerry Turgeon, who gives each of his wines a French title— la pêcherie (the fishing pond) for this Chardonnay. Turgeon suggests pairing it with Dungeness crab—in season right now—as well as salmon, trout, sea bass, scallops and shellfish such as cockles and clams, and pasta.

Trout Gulch wines have been made at Barry Jackson’s Equinox Winery at 427 Swift St. since 2006, and that’s where you’ll find Turgeon pouring for the Passport event on Jan. 17.

Hophead

New Scotts Valley spot’s owner on the joy of cooking with beer BY AARON CARNES

S

cotts Valley’s Hophead is a new haven for folks’ obsession with both food and drink. Owner Jay Patel opened the restaurant last year, fulfilling a lifelong dream. He quit his day job and scraped together every penny he could to do so. He has 10 taps and rotates them with new beers all the time. The food is a hodgepodge of creative culinary finger foods, and pairing it isn’t tough because so much of the food is cooked with their beer.

Tell me about those pulled pork fries.

The pork butt has a special rub that we make in-house. We brine the pork butt for about four to five days, take it out, put a rub on it for a couple of hours, then it goes into our smoker. We soak that pork butt anywhere from 8-12 hours, so we can get as much flavor out of that pork butt as possible—and the texture’s important. The pork butt comes out, that’s put on the fries.

On top is a barbecue sauce that we make out of a chocolate stout and there’s some molasses and habanero to give it that little kick.

On top of that barbecue sauce is a slaw we also make in-house.

So how exactly do you cook with beer?

JAY PATEL: Our goal is to focus on seasonality, and we create dishes based on that, and what beers are typically good around this time—the ports, the stouts, a lot of coffee flavors.

We do incorporate our beer into our food, for example, our smoked pork butts we use both for the Cuban sandwich and the pulled-pork fries, we soak the woodchips for the smoker in either the Imperial IPA or the Porter or Stout to give it that extra dimension.

For our beer-battered pickles, we used fresh-squeezed IPA as part of that batter. Cooking with beer is like, when you’re at a barbecue with friends, and someone’s like, let’s throw some beer on the chicken. We’re doing it hopefully in a more precise way.

How do you pick which beers to stock?

I don’t buy anything I haven’t tasted.

Not only do I taste it, but our team— it’s almost a tasting event. We all have a passion for really good beer.

In regards to what we have now, a few IPAs, a couple of Pilsners, I like to have a representation of the local guys. As a team, we decide what we want to bring in and what rounds out our beer menu. We don’t want to have a one-dimensional beer menu.

3 RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SERVING IN AQUARIUS – SUN, NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS

While resting on the mountaintop of Capricorn, the disciples, hearing the cries of humanity in need, knew they would return to Earth, to serve in Aquarius and save in Pisces (the last two signs). Tuesday, the sun enters Aquarius. The disciples return after a long well-deserved rest in Capricorn’s light.

Aquarius—the New Age (after Pisces); the Moon of the U.S.; President Obama’s Ascendant (18 degrees Aquarius, close to the U.S. Moon)— distributes Ray 5 from a star in the Big Dipper.

All 12 zodiacal signs are influenced by the seven Cosmic Rays from the Big Dipper. Ray 5 is Concrete/Scientific Knowledge (technologies central to the Aquarian new age). The heart of Aquarius, however, is Jupiter (Love/Wisdom).

The rising sign (Ascendant) signifies one’s Soul purpose (virtues). Now that our Sun and solar system is aligned with Aquarius, the rising sign of Earth (and all of humanity) is Aquarius. The Soul of

Humanity is beginning to express itself as Aquarius, the “water bearer”—“Waters of Life Poured Forth for Thirsty Humanity” (Aquarian task). It is therefore through the characteristics and nature of Aquarius that humanity’s collective human purpose (the next two thousand years) is revealed.

Esoterically, Aquarius is the “light that shines on Earth, across the sea … the light shining in the dark, cleansing with its healing rays that which must be purified, until the dark is gone.” The New Group of World Servers are present-day “water bearers,” commissioned with creating the new culture and civilization, the heart of which is Love/ Wisdom, equality and essential unity, directed by the Aquarian Laws and Principles (explained next week). Upcoming week: Tuesday—Aquarius New Moon Festival. Wednesday—Mercury retrogrades (17 Aquarius). We complete major plans this week.

During Mercury retro we rest and review.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

I don’t know of another time in your life when you were called as deeply as you are now to help and serve humanity, focusing your will(ingness) and abilities toward initiating a new world culture and civilization.

It’s important to seek like-minded groups assisting each other in this historical, era-changing task. This is what you’ve been called here to do. Initiating all that’s new.

It’s good to upgrade and/or add more technology to your life. Do it now. Later, there may be more than a few steps needed than expected. With these new tools your creativity will express itself more easily. In coming weeks think about home, family, growing up, and foods to prepare relating to art and culture. Consider your summer garden.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Jan. 14, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You’re called to bring forth all ideas that helps activate and then support the work Aries (and the New Group of World Servers) is initiating that brings forth the new economic order (New Sharing Society). The past months (if not years) you’ve known your job was to gather information for the difficult times to come. Even if few listen, you carry on.

GEMINI May22–June20

JANUARY 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Your mind thinks on previous goals that did or did not manifest. You assess the education you did or did not complete. You think of travel and adventures, philosophies and religion, all these things, sorting them out, reviewing beliefs, gathering from conclusions new goals, adventures, ways of life, religious (or spiritual) beliefs. A new mind forming for the new times.

64

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 The next weeks uncover deep unrecognized feelings affecting your next life steps. Careful. Don’t be too secretive about what you’re doing. You need people around to share thoughts and feelings, ideas and plans.

It’s what your heart’s missing these days. You also hold information valuable to others’ well-being. Say yes to what’s offered. Then offer more.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You are having questions pertaining to security and what signifies safety. You think about home, wondering where it is. You consider living in other areas and regions. You make lists of priorities, needs, hopes, wishes. You need to include community because in the future you can no longer be alone all the time. Community has many meanings. What does it mean for you?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It’s good to explore—neighborhood, neighbors, downtown, etc., renewing social contacts here and afar. It’s good to focus on things local, spending money that supports community resources. You may also think about and study investing in gold or silver, precious metals. Research is best done during retros—next week. In the meantime be careful of wrong turns. Silence is good. Sag is the sign of silence.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Money and finances will become a focused endeavor.

You’ll find yourself more generous. However, you can also spend in areas that are not essential, thus depleting financial resources. Have you made a monthly budget yet, assessing expenditures at month’s end? Begin to teach children the value, use and tithing of money. You will not and do not lack money. It is simply a time to be consciously careful with it. When an endeavor ends, something new comes forth.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Your mind assesses everyday work, how to tend to yourself carefully and daily, and the best ways to be effective and efficient within all your responsibilities when experiencing less and less time. There are relationships where real communication is needed, ideas to be shared, and time must be set aside for special moments. This intense focus on time continues. It mirrors your future.

People will be attracted to what you say, do and think.

It’s Venus, shining its benevolent light upon your life. You will magnetize, attract people. This has two outcomes.

One is being constantly in the spotlight, becoming overworked and overstressed. The other is finding it difficult to rest, have quiet and solace. Be extra careful with health and add more exercise. Consider all that you do as serving.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

You’ll complete tasks, then redo them. You’ll have a thought as new thoughts arise. You’ll think you’ve completed something, realizing it’s completely incomplete. You’ll find odds and ends from the past seeking closure. You’ll be busy, productive, at times impatient, look backward, backpedal when necessary, review, renew, and in the midst of it all be happy. This begins in a week or two.

We see you struggling with a new self-identity, struggling to flourish. It’s a struggle of identity, geography, place, groups, and of things constantly dissolving away (Neptune). New opportunities and contacts eventually emerge from the shadows as past hopes and wishes are renewed. They will become practical. Use money on something special for yourself. A future plan is coming into form. It loves you. You’ll want to dress for it.

Troy is a 10 pound, 8-year-old Chihuahua mix. He is a friendly, confident dog with a lively personality. He loves to meet and play with new dogs and he never met a stranger he didn’t win over. If you’d like to have the happiest dog in the world in your life, Troy might be your buddy. Troy walks nicely on a leash, with a little weaving back and forth to find the best smells. He is used to riding in a crate in the car, and he’s fine with that.

If you’d like to meet Troy, fill out an online application.

OUR 77 TH YEAR

Occupation: Owner, Central Coast Four Wheel Drive Hobbies: Hunting, anything outdoors, grilling Astrological Sign: Taurus What do you folks like to cook? GREG: “We cook out of a recipe book from my mom’s side of the family. We make a lot of pasta dishes, polenta, also a variety of salads combining different lettuces for fun.”

TAMMY: “I cook Mexican, Italian, Asian, and we love meat and vegetables, so really everything. It’s great that we can get everything we need at Shopper’s.” GREG: “They have really good specialty products, like their seasonings and a variety of olives, peppers, and sauces.” TAMMY: “They’re now carrying gluten-free pasta which I appreciate.”

GREG: “We need more stores like this.”

What do you mean? GREG: “It’s just better to shop in a smaller store like this than the chains; it’s more personal and a way-better experience. It’s nice getting smiles from the people when they ask if you need help.”

TAMMY: “Our daughter Lauren enjoys coming here because the environment is fun and family-friendly. We’re both business owners and we understand the need for the community to support local stores. Here, we know where our money is going. I always say, ’If you like to cook and want quality products, you come to Shopper’s Corner: it’s old-school, it’s fun, and it’s cool!’”

Quality is important? GREG: “I could shop the larger stores for skirt steak and it may taste like leather. Here it’s delicious, I know I’m getting quality.” TAMMY: “The meats are super fresh and you know they will be good every time you come in. Consistency is important.” GREG: “The guys behind the meat counter are awesome and they make it enjoyable to shop here.” TAMMY: “We buy a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and Shopper’s selections are the best of-the-best.”

GREG: “They have a great selection of bourbons and whiskeys. I’m learning to venture out and try different ones.”

“If you like to cook and want quality products, you come to Shopper’s Corner: it’s old-school, it’s fun, and it’s cool!”
