Week of February 4 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 I hope you have someone in your life to whom you can send the following love note, and if you don’t, I trust you will locate that someone no later than Aug. 1: “I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.” (This passage is borrowed from author Jonathan Safran Foer's book “Everything Is Illuminated.”)

TAURUS Apr20–May20 "We assume that others show their love in the same way that we do," writes psychologist Amy Przeworski, "and if they don’t follow that equation, we worry that the love is not there." I think you're on track to overcome this fundamental problem, Taurus. Your struggles with intimacy have made you wise enough to surrender your expectations about how others should show you their love. You're almost ready to let them give you their affection and demonstrate their care for you in ways that come natural to them. In fact, maybe you're ready RIGHT NOW.

GEMINI May21–June20 I'd like to bestow a blessing on you and your closest ally. My hope is that it will help you reduce the restlessness that on occasion undermines the dynamism of your relationship. Here's the benediction, inspired by a Robert Bly poem: As you sit or walk or lie next to each other, you share a mood of glad acceptance. You aren't itchy or fidgeting, wondering if there's something better to be or do. You don't wish you were talking about a different subject or feeling a different emotion or living in a different world. You are content to be exactly who you are, exactly where you are.

Want to infuse your romantic interludes with wilder moods now and then? Want to cultivate a kind of intimacy that taps deeper into your animal intelligence? If so, try acting out each other's dreams or drawing magic symbols on each other's bodies. Whisper funny secrets into each other's ears or wrestle like good-natured drunks on the living room floor. Howl like coyotes. Caw like crows. Purr like cheetahs. Sing boisterous songs and recite feral poetry to each other. Murmur this riff, adapted from Pablo Neruda: "Our love was born in the wind, in the night, in the earth. That’s why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know our names."

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Is there any sense in which your closest alliance is a gift to the world? Does your relationship inspire anyone? Do the two of you serve as activators and energizers, igniting fires in the imaginations of those whose lives you touch? If not, find out why. And if you are tapping into those potentials, it's time to raise your impact to the next level. Together the two of you now have extra power to synergize your collaboration in such a way that it sends out ripples of benevolence everywhere you go.

The poet Rainer Marie Rilke said that people misunderstand the role of love. "They have made it into play and pleasure because they think that play and pleasure are more blissful than work," he wrote. "But there is nothing happier than work. And love, precisely because it is the supreme happiness, can be nothing other than work." I'm sharing this perspective with you for two reasons, Virgo. First, of all the signs in the zodiac, you're most likely to thrive on his approach. Second, you're in a phase of your astrological cycle when this capacity of yours is at a peak. Here's how Rilke finished his thought: "Lovers should act as if they had a great work to accomplish."

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 About 2,600 years ago, the Greek poet Sappho wrote the following declaration: "You make me hot." In the

next ten days, I'd love for you to feel motivated to say or think that on a regular basis. In fact, I predict that you will. The astrological omens suggest you're in a phase when you are both more likely to be made hot and more likely to encounter phenomena that make you hot. Here are some other fragments from Sappho that might come in handy when you need to express your torrid feelings: 1. "This randy madness I joyfully proclaim." 2. "Eros makes me shiver again . . . Snake-sly, invincible." 3. "Desire has shaken my mind as wind in the mountain forests roars through trees." (Translations by Guy Davenport.)

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In the TV science-fiction show “Doctor Who,” the title character lives in a time machine that is also a spaceship. It's called a Tardis. From the outside, it appears to be barely bigger than a phone booth. But once you venture inside, you find it's a spacious chateau with numerous rooms, including a greenhouse, library, observatory, swimming pool, and karaoke bar. This is an excellent metaphor for you, Scorpio. Anyone who wants your love or friendship must realize how much you resemble a Tardis. If they don't understand that you're far bigger on the inside than you seem on the outside, it's unlikely the two of you can have a productive relationship. This Valentine season, as a public service, make sure that everyone you're seriously involved with knows this fact.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Love and intimacy come in many forms. There are at least a billion different ways for you to be attracted to another person, and a trillion different ways to structure your relationship. Maybe your unique bond involves having sex, or maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's romantic or friendly or holy, or all three of those things. Do the two of you have something important to create together, or is your connection more about fueling each other's talents? Your task is to respect and revere the idiosyncratic ways you fit together, not force yourselves to conform to a prototype. To celebrate the Valentine season, I invite you and your closest ally to play around with these fun ideas.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Anaïs Nin wrote the following passage in her novel “A Spy in the House of Love,” “As other girls prayed for handsomeness in a lover, or for wealth, or for power, or for poetry, she had prayed fervently: let him be kind.” I recommend that approach for you right now, Capricorn. A quest for tender, compassionate attention doesn't always have to be at the top of your list of needs, but I think it should be for now. You will derive a surprisingly potent alchemical boost from basking in kindness. It will catalyze a breakthrough that can't be unleashed in any other way. Ask for it!

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 How many desires do you have? Take a rough inventory. Identify the experiences you continually seek in your quest to feel relief and pleasure and salvation and love and a sense of meaning. You can also include fantasies that go unfulfilled and dreams that may or may not come true in the future. As you survey this lively array, don't censor yourself or feel any guilt. Simply give yourself to a sumptuous meditation on all the longings that fuel your journey. This is your prescription for the coming week. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, it is the medicine you need most.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The German word Nachkussen refers to the kind of kiss that compensates for all the kissing that has not been happening, all the kissing that has been omitted or lost. If it has been too long since you've kissed anyone, you need Nachkussen. If your lover hasn't kissed you lately with the focused verve you long for, you need Nachkussen. If you yourself have been neglecting to employ your full artistry and passion as you bestow your kisses, you need Nachkussen. From what I can tell, Pisces, this Valentine season is a full-on Nachkussen holiday for you. Now please go get what you haven't been getting.

compassionate solutions to the burning problems that affect all of us. NANCY KRUSOE | SANTA CRUZ

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: THE FIGHT FOR SELMA Thanks to Ms. Gitlin for her courage. I finally saw the Selma movie, and was not disappointed. I was born in Alabama, and Montgomery was my second home, as both sets of my grandparents lived there. My father was a real southern political liberal, and he spoke out against George Wallace and Lester Maddox, but I don’t think he had the courage to march, and never took me to see Dr. King. I generally avoid reading

about movies I'm going to see, but know that Selma was criticized for not being fair to LBJ. That seems like quibbling, because it is certainly is at least close to the political maneuvering. The weird thing I read—and I think it was in the GT—was a letter saying the movie wasn't fair to Wallace (GT, 1/21). My father was involved in government in Georgia and knew the politics in Alabama, and, in the time the movie depicted, [Wallace] was a despicable force that really was behind the institutional racism there. Maybe he had a sincere change of heart before he died, but, at least during the time depicted in the movie, he was a mean character. (BTW, Tim Roth is brilliant in the movie.) — J.DISMUKES

Paws for Alarm

The debate over dogs on beaches heats up BY BRENDAN BANE

D

ogs and beaches, often a happy combination, have sparked a contentious debate among community members over open space and recreation. A possible off-leash pilot program, which would grant temporary beach access to freerunning dogs, has re-ignited debate and widened the rift between dog owners and some beach-goers. The Santa Cruz County Parks Commission recommended the pilot program in December. If approved by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors, the program would designate certain beaches as areas where dog owners could let their pups

run free without worrying about a $300 ticket. (Many already do so, at their own risk.) The exact locations remain undecided. Civinomics, an online forum at which community members can vote, comment or make suggestions on civic issues, created a page prompting users to weigh in on the pilot program about a month after the recommendation. The overwhelming response has taken the pollsters by surprise. “It’s the most activity we’ve had in such a short period of time,” says Civinomics co-founder Robert Singleton. “It’s been a little over two and a half weeks now, and the

initiative page that features the pilot program has been viewed over 3,200 times.” By comparison, Civinomics once conducted similar polling for the city of Santa Cruz on issues involving water supply. Over a month of voting time passed and that page received only 2,000 visitors. “You’d think that issues about water or transportation would be really high,” says Singleton, “but the second you bring in off-leash dogs, it becomes this intense issue for the whole community.” The change might not come free. If the pilot program is approved, it could warrant an environmental impact report, which could >12

Support for an armored vehicle in the city of Santa Cruz goes deeper than the police department or even the City Council majority, public records show. GT has learned that U.S. Congressmember Sam Farr (D-Carmel) wrote a letter of support for an armored vehicle in September 2013—15 months before the City Council first heard about the grant. Santa Cruz, Farr argued, has enough terrorist targets that it deserves its own armored truck for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive incidents—or a CBRNE Vehicle, as it’s sometimes called. “Santa Cruz is especially vulnerable to CBRNE incidents, including potential terrorist attacks and natural disasters,” Farr wrote. The letter lists the Boardwalk, UCSC and Lockheed Martin as “vulnerable critical infrastructure” that an armored truck could help protect. Farr could not be reached for comment. But opponents of the BearCat (Ballistic Engineered Armored Rescue Counter Attack Truck) are increasingly vocal, as well. On Jan. 13, the City Council chambers were so packed for a meeting—even though the topic wasn’t on the agenda—that the fire department asked some of the crowd to move outside. About 300 citizens, many of them holding signs opposing police use of military-style equipment, called upon city officials to “give back the BearCat” that the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) is in the process of purchasing with a $251,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The council had approved the purchase at the previous meeting, on a 6-1 vote. About 30 citizens spoke in opposition, with many asking council to rescind the grant and organize a public study session on police accountability. One person spoke in support. Mayor Don Lane allowed 70 minutes for oral communications, which ended with about 10 citizens remaining in line. Then SCPD Chief Kevin Vogel read preliminary protocols for use of the BearCat, which police say will be built within six months. The protest continued at the next City Council meeting on Jan. 27, when the chambers were again filled with citizens arguing that there are already multiple >14

cost as much as $100,000. The County Board of Supervisors will review the poll results before deciding whether or not to adopt the pilot program, Singleton says. The comments on the initiative page reveal the interests at stake, and an intense divide. Advocates want a place to exercise their pups, while opponents are concerned for the safety of others and the environment. In a section for off-leash advocates, opponent Michael Lewis replies to almost every post. “The beaches are for everyone, and some people are pretty uncomfortable about having dogs run loose there,” Lewis, an environmentalist and

retired anthropologist, explains to GT. His concerns about off-leash dogs are primarily ecological. “Migratory birds come from hundreds of miles away, and they need to rest up a bit,” he says. “They need to eat and breed and build nests on the beach.” Even just a dog strolling by is enough to scare shorebirds away from their foraging grounds, says Lewis. “It’d be like if someone came to your home and let dogs run around on your dining room table or in your bedroom.” Lewis is a member of Leash Law Advocates of Santa Cruz County, a group whose webpage features a dutifully logged report of what dogs do when they run off-leash on Santa

Cruz beaches. The page includes dozens of images of dogs chasing birds and detailed reports of canines urinating in tide pools and on sand castles. Some reports are more serious than others, as the page also includes reports of dog-on-dog violence. “We care about all animals, including domestic animals,” says Lewis. “We want to make sure they’re not harmed by dogs running loose on the beach or anywhere else.” Others say that the risk can be mitigated, and that dog owners should be granted their own space on the shoreline. “A huge percentage of Live Oak residents own dogs, and it’s time the county allowed us some shared access of our public >16

NEWS BRIEFS BEAR DOWN Even after four decades in music, Patti Smith hasn’t lost her flair for delivering the unexpected, as she demonstrated at her Rio show last week. In the mid-’70s, it was seguing from “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine” into “Gloria,” or from Patty Hearst’s story into “Hey Joe”; in the 21st century, she’s been known to let the typical rock star banter about life on tour melt into the hallucinatory psychedelics of “Purple Haze,” and the opening guitar strum of “My Blakean Year” turn into a meditation on … armored police vehicles? Sort of, yeah! At her Rio show, as guitarist Lenny Kaye played the latter, she freestyled some very funny lyrics about her day on the beach in Santa Cruz, during which she sang that this is “such a wonderful place—not a place for an armored BearCat.” Her improv protest drew cheers, as if to say “The SCPD better apply water to that BearCat, ’cause it just got a sick burn!” STEVE PALOPOLI

ALL TOGETHER NOW A recent summit shed light on the economies of the Monterey Bay—what they have in common and what they can learn from one another. The theme of the first Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP) regional summit on Jan. 29: “Invent your future here.” To foster a growing tech ecosystem like Santa Cruz’s, it can help to reach out to political leaders, create meet-up events and strengthen the ties between educational institutions and the local business community. These are all things Bob Cagle of Santa Cruz-based ProductOps stressed when he led a panel at the Seaside event about Santa Cruz’s emerging tech community, which has many components that Monterey and San Benito entrepreneurs hope to emulate. An economic driver that all three of the bay’s counties share is agriculture. With increasing shortages in both labor and rainfall, local ag has the most to gain from cutting-edge technologies, like data analytics

and drones, explained Robert Tse, a specialist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Technology is going to enable us to double the food production, reduce our environmental footprint, and to deal with the drought,” said Tse. Tse also said the new technologies are useless without broadband infrastructure on the farming fields themselves. Santa Cruz County is ahead of its neighbors to the south in terms of developed broadband infrastructure, but there is still more work to be done across the region. Steve Blum, president of Tellus Ventures Associates, said the broadband infrastructure in this area is below average in California, and, in most cases, doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements set by the California Public Utilities Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission. Bud Colligan, MBEP co-chairman and CEO of South Swell Ventures, said that growing the fields of science and technology will

benefit every sector. “The Internet of things is coming whether we like it or not, and we can either be crushed by this wave or ride the wave,” said Colligan. “Every industry depends on it, whether it is agriculture, recreation, marine sciences, or nonprofits.” A panel led by Sarah Wood, editor and publisher of Edible Monterey Bay, discussed innovative food businesses in the region, like Farmhouse Culture. Chris Thornberg of Beacon Economics presented a bigpicture analysis of the national and regional economies. He said the tri-county region is steadily improving from the recession, but is growing at a rate slower than other areas of California. Real improvements, after all, are about more than just jobs. “Economic development is not just about overall growth,” says Thornberg. “It has a lot to do with the quality of life as well, and on that basis things certainly have been getting better.” ARIC SLEEPER

THAT’S ARMOR, EH? Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel says his department is in the process of purchasing a BearCat vehicle with its recently accepted grant for an armored truck.

armored police trucks in the area. The debate spilled over onto the cultural landscape last week, referenced onstage at local events by hip hop artist Boots Riley (of the Coup), Patti Smith (see page 12), and radical scholar Angela Davis. At Davis’ MLK Convocation speech, she warned the capacity crowd at the Civic that “the so-called war on terror has led to the militarization of local police all over the country.” Davis said that Berkeley, Albany and UC Berkeley police had collaborated to purchase their own BearCat vehicle in 2012. When she added that Berkeley community members successfully pressured police to rescind its BearCat purchase, the audience clapped in approval. When the Santa Cruz grant was initially discussed and then accepted last December, Lt. Bernie Escalante of the SCPD told the council that the department sometimes borrows an armored vehicle from Santa

Clara, but added, “We’re looking at a threeto-four-hour response time.” Escalante had told GT that SCPD “borrowed an armored vehicle approximately 10 times over the last three to four years,” including when two officers were killed on Branciforte Avenue in 2013, although the vehicle arrived late. But Santa Clara isn’t the closest department with an armored vehicle. The city of Del Rey Oaks, 41 miles south of Santa Cruz, has a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, and the Scotts Valley Police Department (SVPD) owns a S.W.A.T. truck. SVPD Chief John Weiss tells GT they purchased a used armored truck for $10 from Brinks, through a program that sells vehicles to police departments for a nominal fee. They had it painted black for free at the Rountree jail facility in Watsonville. He said that the S.W.A.T. truck is most often used to raise money for local schools by selling rides to school and birthday parties for children.

Weiss said SVPD sent its vehicle when the two officers were shot in 2013, and estimated that response time was 20 to 30 minutes. Escalante says he wasn’t aware that Scotts Valley had a SWAT truck that was deployed to Santa Cruz in 2013. In addition, the Santa Cruz County sheriff has one bulletproof S.W.A.T. truck, according to media spokesperson Kelly Kent, although he added that their truck doesn’t withstand bullets from assault rifles. That truck was also deployed after the officer shooting in 2013. At the December meeting, members of SCPD told councilmembers that unless the grant was accepted that day the funds would be lost, because a portion of the grant had to be spent by the end of 2014 to meet a March deadline of having the vehicle built and shipped here. Escalante says that SCPD was notified of a March 31, 2015, deadline via email from the Office of Emergency Services (OES). The email has not been made public. While the SCPD has called the

BearCat an “emergency rescue vehicle,” its manufacturer, Lenco, calls it a SWAT truck, and Homeland Security refers to such armored trucks as “CBRNE” vehicles. Meanwhile, a recent ACLU report indicates that nearly 80 percent of the time, police use APCs to “serve search warrants, usually in drug cases.” Escalante could not be reached for followup about the purpose or designation of SCPD’s impending truck. Councilmember Micah Posner tells GT he’s not so concerned about the BearCat itself, but does want to improve transparency with the police department. He plans to propose a process that requires police to notify council about possible police grants “early on in the application process.”

A public forum on ‘The Militarization of Police’ has been organized by the local chapter of the ACLU for Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m. at the Louden Nelson Community Center.

beaches with designated areas,” says Lynn Madden, spokesperson for Live Oak Off Leash Advocates (LOOLA), via email. “It happens in numerous other cities and counties in California and the nation.” The flashpoint for the heated debate was Live Oak in 2012. For years, dog owners had brought dogs to county beaches. But suddenly those owners began receiving $300 tickets from the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, when officers started enforcing the decades-old leashless dog ban. The owners bit back, reaching out to county officials like District 1 Supervisor John Leopold, who represents Mid-County. He tried to explain that the rules were nothing new. “This enforcement is not the result of a new county policy, but instead a reallocation of resources at the animal shelter,” a newsletter from Leopold read. Civinomics’ new page on the matter will remain open until the pilot program is either adopted or rejected. Lewis says that dog owners can already choose from 14 off-leash parks within Santa Cruz City and County, and that beaches deserve special protection because of their environmental significance. Lewis feels they should be grateful for what they have. “The compromise has already been made,” says Lewis. “The fact that leashed dogs are allowed on beaches at all is the compromise.” LOOLA members are attempting to tackle environmental issues head on. Many of their promotional posters feature reminders to dog owners to avoid shorebird nesting sites and clean up after their pets. Madden says dog owners have “created a wonderful community of friends of all ages and walks of life” who clean up trash and have a vested interest in keeping the beaches clean. “We understand that there are residents who would like a dog-free beach, and we respect that,” explains Madden, who adds that many offleash advocates would be happy to reach a compromise by agreeing to off-leash hours as well as designated off-leash areas. “Most dog owners would love a place to run their dogs legally, and would be happy to comply with a designated off-leash area.”

now lives at the Tannery. “It was really a full-blown arts campus. At the very core of it was housing for artists, which was a much-needed thing around the county, and I’ve come to realize how important of a thing it is for Santa Cruz, to have working studios. But what we had was an abandoned property. Not knowing anything about Santa Cruz, I assumed if I thought it was a good idea, everybody thought it was a good idea. I quickly learned that most of the community hated the idea.� In one public meeting after another, Scudder heard Santa Cruzans slam the Tannery project. For starters, the project appeared to be in a flood plain. Second were concerns about the cost, even though it would be covered by fundraising and the city’s redevelopment funds. Also, many people wanted a big-box store to go in the site, arguing that it would improve the city’s tax base. Perhaps the main question about

the project, though, was “Why are you doing all this for artists?â€? Cirillo remembers people saying that Santa Cruz should instead provide housing for teachers, police officers and any other number of given professions. “There are teachers who are living in the Tannery,â€? she says, looking back now. “Art teachers need housing, too.â€? Part of the problem was that a project seeking to harness so much of the town’s creativity lacked much of an artistic identity at all. Scudder, who was living at the time in the Tannery as its caretaker, had an idea—although, granted, the epiphany sounds silly in hindsight: what if he built 12 giant papiermâchĂŠ cows? Scudder, who has a background in marketing, went to the Tannery’s advisory board armed with the suggestion and five images of giant cows Photoshopped in front of the Tannery. “They immediately said yes. I don’t think they knew how crazy I

These enormous animals had shown up out of nowhere, some of which peered over the fence as if grazing. “When Kirby started making cows, it lightened things up,” says George Newell, former executive director of the Tannery. “How can you get upset at a 15-foot cow?” “They got so much interest, because they were really cool,” remembers Emily Reilly, then a city councilmember, who helped with the cows. “They were big, but they really looked like cows.” Scudder started each cow by crafting a wooden frame, which he wrapped with industrial-strength cardboard he picked up for free. Then he’d cover that with newspaper and Elmer’s carpenter’s glue. The irony, Scudder notes, is that while the Salz Tannery was a leather operation, there’s no record of a cow ever actually being on the property. And, of course, he was building 30-foot-long dairy cows—not the kind of cattle anyone would use for their hides. That first dozen of giant papiermâché cows would not be Scudder’s last, and the loft apartments, which comprised phase one of the Tannery project, opened in 2009. As artists began moving into the new lofts, cow gifts started pouring in to Scudder, and people were telling him every story or fun fact they knew about the animals. One man even invited Scudder out to his cattle ranch in Mariposa three hours away, insisting it would help with his artwork.

It didn’t. “I don’t even care about cows. I mean, I like cows, but it’s not like I think about them,” Scudder says. “In my apartment now, people have given me cow hats, cow stuffed toys, everything cow you can imagine. If my parents were alive, they’d go, ‘Kirby, what’s up with the cows?’ I just did a project.”

CAMPUS TRIP Ann Hazels is sitting in the Radius Gallery—the Tannery’s only operating gallery, which she owns and operates. The current show is “Marking Space and Time,” which features environmental pieces—a prayer rug made out of a driedup lake bed, and art made out of salvaged old-growth redwood. She says buzz around the campus has not yet peaked. “The Tannery is still in its early years, not as far as buildings, but as far as creativity. It’s on people’s radar. It’s still getting discovered,” says Hazels, who happens to be wearing earrings made out of cow bones. “Creatively speaking, it’s very diverse. It’s all different things going on. I think that’s the beauty of the beast. It’s an art work patchworked of everyone’s work put together.” The Radius Gallery is in the artist studio section, which was part of the Tannery’s second phase, completed in the summer of 2012. Phase three will be the performing arts center, which is slated to open this fall. Fundraising is more than 95 percent complete for the $6 million center, which will be named after philanthropist Bud Colligan, and will include a 200-seat-theater, as well

as a new home for the Santa Cruz Ballet Theater company. Speaking of dance, the Tannery just got a big boost this year when Cat Willis, founder of the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center, won a Gail Rich Award for her teaching. It’s all part of the arts complex’s rising profile. For his part, Scudder is changing things up, too, with a cardboardbased art show at his loft on Feb. 6 for First Friday. After talking with me at the Art Bar, Scudder decided to bring me by to his loft to show me his work and to refill his thermos with KahlĂşa, vodka and ice cubes. His cow memorabilia is hidden out of sight. The new paintings are rough around the edges and threedimensional, with pieces of cardboard jutting off the wall. One is a painting of cacti on Mission Street; another is of an upside-down Peet’s Coffee cup spilling all over an art gallery. “You can do anything you want with it. There is no right or wrong,â€? he says of his cardboard medium. “I love seeing screws and the imperfections of the whole thing,

but we’ll see what people say on Friday.â€? Painting on cardboard allows Scudder to hone skills he learned doing papier-mâchĂŠ. And yet, because the artwork is inside, he’s able to use color in a way that he never does in sculptures. It also allows him to do something rawer than anything he could put on canvas. “I’ve done plenty of paintings on canvas. I’m not trying to compete with that,â€? Scudder says. “I like the quality of the cardboard. That’s the whole point of working with it, is not to make it be something that it’s not.â€?

MOO OVER After Scudder’s original herd was finished and put out to pasture, he built another papier-mâchĂŠ creation, by request—we’ll call him Cow Number 13—to raise money for a photographer who had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Shortly after, Scudder began his hiatus from cattle. He did “Night Light,â€? a project for which he’d rather be remembered: he and volunteers pointed hundreds of

powerful lights at the sky in 2006 and 2007 to promote world peace. He drew an iconic poster of “The Cruz” and other cities. It was only a matter of time, though, before Scudder’s past with four-leggeds caught up with him. In 2012, actor Ian McRae approached Scudder and asked him to build two more cows for the opening of Rebecca’s—now the Art Bar. Scudder agreed, constructing two papiermâché bovine heads—Cows 14 and 15—one of which hangs at the Art Bar today. He also built a 20-foot wooden cow, the Tannery’s only nonpapier-mâché cow, to stand along the highway and draw attention to the café. “So, it’s embarrassing,” Scudder admits, “because everybody in this community who knows me—they’re like, ‘You’re doing cows, aren’t you?’ I’m like, ‘Would you stop?’ They’re like, ‘Come on, you’re doing cows.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m doing cows.’” Then last spring, Scudder finally surrendered to his fate when he approached the board again and offered to do one more cow sculpture to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Tannery. It would become Cow 16, the one that is currently staring down the Hide House in the middle of a construction zone. It was his most elaborate cow yet, built in three pieces, with each section stacked on the one

below it with a forklift. The frame’s carpentry was complex and curved, with interlocking pieces to support the additional weight. Like each papier-mâché cow before it, Scudder plastered the outer layer with issues of Good Times, which he says always had the most absorbent paper. In the middle of Cow 16’s construction, though, GT switched its paper stock to a glossier print. So, Scudder called up everyone he knew who might have an old issue or two lying around and asked them to drop theirs off. By the time Scudder finished piecing the 30-footer together (green overalls, Macbook and all), the cow had been covered half with GT’s old paper and half with the newer—and apparently less absorbent—one. Scudder was less than thrilled about the change in paper, and the New York native doesn’t mince words about it, either. “I don’t like your paper,” he says. “I like it for reading. It’s much clearer resolution. It’s a clearerlooking paper. But if I need to make another big sculpture, I’m fucked.”

Kirby Scudder’s studio at the Tannery will be open for First Friday from 6-9 p.m. at 1030 River St., #218. Visitkirbyscudder.com for more information.

The 418 Project’s saucy dance show asks ‘What Is Erotic?’ BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

I

s it a lingering look, a soft caress, perhaps the tiniest of nibbles? Or maybe a handful of hair, goosebumps, a wellplaced spank? Those are the kinds of questions that the 418 Project’s movement theater show “What Is Erotic?”—

HOT TICKET

which opens Friday, Feb. 6, wants its audience to consider. The title itself might be more of a tease than a question, since even after 10 years of directing the show, the 418’s Executive Director Laura Bishop can’t answer it definitively, though she has some theories.

“I think sex is an act and erotic is a feeling,” says Bishop. This year’s 10th anniversary show, which serves as a fundraiser for the 418 nonprofit movement art center, explores the deepest (and sometimes darkest) fantasies within the wide spectrum of

lyra-hoop acrobatic routines, as well as song, choreographed dance pieces, a dash of BDSM and a “strip rap�—which is exactly what it sounds like: Brynne Flidais, waxing poetic, while taking off her clothes. “[Flidais] had this idea of the strip rap as a metaphor for her revealing her full spectrum of femininity, and she wanted to create the vocabulary for it, but hadn’t written lyrics,� says Jon Ragel, who DJs the show with original mashups and compositions. “She brought in her poetry and we sat down and tried to get into that space together.� To Ragel, the show at the core is not so much about sex as it is about the desire for authenticity and connection. The storyline emerged organically out of that. “A lot of what we’ve done is informed by each person, their life, what they’re bringing, what inspires them, what challenges them, what they want to explore—and that’s seeped into the story and into each scene,� says Ragel. “Oh, how Santa Cruz,� some people will say, and in fact Bishop agrees. It’s a good thing too, she says—not every community would be open to artists exploring questions about eroticism. “When something is unnamed, especially something as powerful as sex, there’s a really great risk of distortion,� says Bishop. “I think that the power of the show is that it’s a platform for people

to start thinking, feeling, talking about this.â€? Whether or not pole-dancing and BDSM seem risquĂŠ, putting society’s taboos on display is meant to show audiences that they don’t have to be ashamed of their own desires. After all, everyone has fantasies. In order to get to those fantasies, says Bishop, they asked for a high level of trust and effort from their cast. The production process has been a safe space for creativity, collaboration and selfexpression—with an emphasis on safe, says choreographer and co-director Mitch Lang. “It’s a space for nonjudgment and support—‘How can I support you?’ That approach really creates this open end and helps you to grow,â€? says Lang. “We really encourage you to go to your edge, but we will never push you through it,â€? says Bishop. Lang says the choreographed ensemble pieces draw on the nuances of eroticism, and it’s not all pelvic thrusts (though there are plenty of those too, he promises). “It can be something as simple asâ€?—turning to Bishop, he strokes her cheek. “It’s a sexual fantasy cabaret. It’s intimate, it’s beautiful, it’s gentle, it’s caressing, it’s erotic.â€? To those who are leery of a show that explores the sexual and the erotic, Lang says it’s not all about shock value. They intend to ease the audience into the experience. “We don’t shoot the load all at once,â€? he says. “We warm you up.â€?

Capitola’s Jennifer Cass on the good vibrations of the harp BY CHRISTINA WATERS

J

ennifer Cass lives in a rambling Capitola house with four cats and five harps. The harps are the point here. With a full-time day job as chair of the Cabrillo College math department, the high-energy Southern California native is also a sought-after freelance musician on the Monterey Bay area performance circuit. Her specialty is the pedal harp, a large and beautiful instrument with a celestial sound. The 47 strings on Cass’ favorite French pedal harp represent the white keys on the piano. Where are the black keys?, I wonder. “The sharps and flats are created by the seven pedals,” Cass says with a grin, pointing to the back

of the harp. Ever since I heard Cass’ astonishing accompaniment for the UCSC Concert Choir performance of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, I have wanted to get a closer look. Hmm, I hadn’t actually noticed the pedals up close before. The contemporary pedal harp is rather like a cross between a programmable piano and a guitar. The ability to change pitch with foot pedals allows the harpist’s hands to keep busy with all of those sweeping glissandi and intricately plucked chords. The entire body is engaged. Cass was hooked the day she took a break from her youthful piano studies to try out a neighbor’s harp. “That was one of the happiest

moments of my life,” she recalls. Being practical, she pursued both a master’s degree in harp performance at the Eastman School of Music, as well as a master’s in mathematics at UCSC. She has taught at Cabrillo College ever since, while performing as a soloist and with ensembles at UCSC, symphony orchestras down the coast and over the hill, as well as with New Music Works and Santa Cruz Chamber Players. The harp feels luscious to play. “You actually wrap your body around the instrument, cradling it against your shoulders,” says Cass, demonstrating. “But it’s hard on the back and shoulders,” she admits. Raising her arms in billowing

movements, she plucks the strings. “The gestures are part of the musical imagery,” she says. And the sound reverberates long after the hands have left the strings. The musical repertoire for her complicated instrument flowered during the French Impressionist era—“Debussy and Ravel wrote huge orchestral works for harp,” Cass says. Today, there’s a growing popular repertoire for harp as a solo and ensemble instrument. Jazz and electronic harps are expanding the domain of this much-loved string instrument. “It’s a compelling sound,” she says. “I think it has something to do with the vibrations.” The harp, it turns out, is “very big in healing— therapeutic harp, the chakras,” she says. I begin to connect those dots. “Playing the harp has given me confidence. It’s very difficult and it requires incredible focus,” Cass says. “When I am in concert, and let myself simply go with the music, I am completely immersed in that moment. It’s an opportunity for focus and self-discipline. After 30 years, I can play pretty well.” The full-size harps weigh 80 pounds or so. Who carts it around? “I do.” She takes me out to her minivan and shows me the special cradle in the back that holds the harp. She carries it in and out of the van with a large dolly. “I do it all.” Obviously, Christmas is a harpist’s busiest season. Also spring, when Cass performs with many local groups, and for private gigs. “I do a lot of weddings and small cocktail parties. I did “Let it Go” from Frozen at a reception last week. People loved it.” “I’m a little superstitious about concert attire,” she says, grinning again. “I’m very practical. I wear the same shoes when I perform, with a slight heel but one that is very stable. I usually wear a long skirt, or more likely pants, although I’ve seen people play the harp in short skirts and spike heels.” She wears three-quarter sleeves so they don’t get into the strings. No jewelry. And there’s a pre-concert nail-trimming ritual. The pattern-intensity of music and math suits Jennifer Cass. “I’m happy doing what I’m doing.”

Jake Smith on why he prefers to keep his characters in the shadows as the White Buffalo BY CAT JOHNSON

J

ake Smith writes some songs about happiness, but he writes a lot more about unhappiness— the kind brought about by lawbreaking, hard living, broken hearts and bad luck. Performing under the name the White Buffalo, Smith says these down-on-their-luck characters are more intriguing than those for whom everything goes right. For him, it’s important to tell the stories of people whom society considers “bad.” “I love the juxtaposition of light and dark,” he says. “There is happiness and joy and love, but there’s also pain and strife and people [who] are hurting. Within a lot of my songs, there’s good and bad.”

On his 2013 album Shadows, Greys and Evil Ways, Smith, who was born in Oregon and now resides in Southern California, took the study of good and bad to a new level, crafting a 12-song cycle that tells the fated story of Joe White, a haunted veteran of the Iraq war, and his love, Jolene. The story starts with Joe as a young man, follows him through his experience of war, coming home, and his eventual death. Despite its modern setting, it describes experiences and issues that could have roots in any war. “It’s Joe White going off to war, getting fucked up, coming back, not really knowing how to adjust, and

still kind of bloodthirsty,” explains Smith. He adds that the story is also about family and love. “The love of his woman keeps him normal,” he says, “or halfway normal.” The album is full of raw emotion and conflicted characters. As the storyteller, Smith captures this emotion and channels the characters in a way that lets listeners lose themselves in the tale; a haunting journey of love, murder, and the search for redemption. “I’ve always tried to write emotional songs that are going to connect with people in, hopefully, a deeper fashion,” he says. “You have to feel the songs and get in the songs.”

When Smith started putting Shadows, Greys and Evil Ways together, he didn’t plan for it to be a concept album, but looking at the batch of songs and half-finished material he had, he realized that, with some work, they could provide the context for an album-length story. “The songs just seemed to fit really perfectly,” he says. “It was just a matter of finding the right arrangements and figuring out how to tell the story and keep moving it along within each song.” For 15 years, Smith has been performing as the White Buffalo. Despite the ongoing air of mystery around the name, he explains that it actually came about by pulling names out of a hat. While hanging out with some of his friends, he was wondering what name he should use—“Jake Smith is not terribly mystical or intriguing,” he jokes. His friends wrote names down, put them in a hat, and the one he drew said, “The White Buffalo.” Call it a touch of inspiration because the name nicely captures his character, with his massive voice, lumberjack-like appearance, and fringe-dwelling subject matter. The world-weary, haunting quality of Smith’s songs has made him a favorite of the Americana underground. He’s also captured the attention of film and television producers. His song “The American Dream” appeared in the 2013 film The Lone Ranger, and several of his songs have been featured in the television series Sons of Anarchy. Of the Sons of Anarchy placement, Smith says the songs were cut and edited to fit whatever was going on in a particular scene. “It was cool,” he says, “to see how they end up weaving songs into the story.” When asked if he knows the Lakota legend about the white buffalo calf being a sign of hope, he says he didn’t at the time he took the name. “I knew it had some significance to Native Americans,” he says, “but I didn’t know about the whole bringing of hope. I think it’s beautiful in its way, and I respect their belief.” The White Buffalo will perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6 and 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/door. 479-1854.

TRAIL WORK AT WILDER RANCH Locals cherish our ability to catch beautiful, sweeping bay views from the peaks of Santa Cruz, but the more that nature-lovers hike and bike, the more the trails that make that possible get worn down. Not only can trail destruction cause unsafe conditions, it also leads to further erosion, which is why the dedicated members of Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz (MBOSC) have worked to maintain the Wilder Ranch trails during the first Saturday of the month since 1997. Take part in the maintenance of this historic national park, and help keep Wilder beautiful and safe. MBOSC ask volunteers to bring work gloves and wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Info: 9:45 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7. Wilder Ranch, 1401 Coast Road, Santa Cruz. mbosc.org/events/ monthly-trailwork.

FRIDAY 2/6 CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY This Friday, the Progressive Christian Forum of Santa Cruz invites Dr. Karen Oliveto and Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow, both leaders and practitioners in local congregations, to speak on the real experience and inspirations of spirituality, communication and worship. They invite church leaders to revamp their message and learn how to expand the “religion-as-usual” trope to mean something new to young adults in speaking truth to power and developing a new sense of purpose and passion. This two-day seminar will feature keynote presentations on “Christian Spirituality in the 21st Century,” as well as lectures and workshops on “Connection and engagement.” Participants will be able to gain insight from other local spiritual leaders and congregations—a time to share ideas and reflect. Rev. Karen Oliveto says that the focus is on how to adapt to changing times: “What does it mean in a time of great change to bring a message of good news and radical love and justice? ... How do we, as a church that includes a diversity of races, ethnicities, gender identities, and economic classes, offer a message of hope in these days that truly communicates in a multimedia world?” Info: Feb. 6 & 7., Peace United Church of Christ, 900 High St., Santa Cruz. ticketriver.com/event/12850.

FRIDAY 2/6 2ND ANNUAL FOOD FROM THE HEART “The best acts of affection are those that go beyond the self,” said someone, somewhere, at some time.

Share the love this Friday with a catered meal at Chaminade Resort & Spa with guest speaker First District County Supervisor John Leopold, and peruse an array of gifts from local vendors. All proceeds for this romantic-dining affair benefit the Santa Cruz County Meals on Wheels program, which serves more than 600 seniors in need every day.

SATURDAY 2/7 BOB MARLEY’S 70TH BIRTHDAY FESTIVAL

Ladysmith Black Mambazo March 13, 7:30 PM

A “global call to love” is as necessary today as it was when the iconic Bob Marley sang the words of harmony, justice, forgiveness and unity during his lifetime. In celebration of his life and legacy, his timeless message of love and peace, the One Love Foundation is hosting a two-musical extravaganza in Redway and Santa Cruz. The Feb. 6 celebration will be streamed live from Redway for free viewing, and organizers encourage Marley enthusiasts everywhere to congregate in temples, churches, synagogues, clubs, and homes to share the experience. Participating artists at the Feb. 7 festivities in Santa Cruz include Luciano, Harrison “The Professor” Stafford of Groundation, Prezident Brown, Admiral Tibet, Kenyatta Hill of Culture, Sister Carol, Reggae Angels, and Indubious. What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a message of global love?

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND PHONETIC

I first saw Tristan “Phonetic” McCormick at Streetlight Records. With his hoodie up and headphones on, he would silently dig through the bins and leave, barely making eye contact. Then I saw Phonetic, the Jekyll to his Hyde, spit rapid-fire lyrics at the Blue Lagoon to a stunned crowd—which erupted with raucous cheers. “My mind works really fast, and I don’t know how I do it sometimes,” he explains with a shy grin. “I can get into the zone and nothing else is around me. Just the zone.” As a teenager, the 30-year-old Scotts Valley rapper was consistently misdiagnosed with different mental illnesses.

FEBRUARY 4-10, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“From 14 to 28, I was in a lot of treatment centers,” he says. “I had a lot of anger built up from dealing with mental illness. I didn’t really have a teenage life; didn’t really go to high schools or anything like that. Everything emerged from a different place.”

46

During this time, McCormick discovered Eminem, opening his world to the healing art of hip hop. “It all started by not knowing how to express my emotions, so listening to Eminem really caught my attention,” McCormick says. “After that, [Santa Cruz rapper] Playz is the person who got my feet on the ground.” The forthright McCormick wrote “Killing the Stigma” about society’s perception of mental illness. It’s one of the many he performs in front of high school students and hospital patients while volunteering with mental health awareness groups like NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)’s Ending the Silence, and Parents Teachers and Allies. Phonetic is set to drop his second album, Lyrical Fire, next month, and he will be at the next Santa Cruz Cypher Session on Feb. 28 at the Boardwalk. MAT WEIR INFO: 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28.

WEDNESDAY 2/4

PSYCH-FOLK

GOLDEN GATE WINGMEN

The latest musical project of Natalie Mering, one-time member of the noise band Jackie-O Motherfucker and backup vocalist for Ariel Pink, Weyes Blood is a psychedelic-folk outfit that's quickly rising through the ranks of the indie underground. Already, Mering has some nice momentum, thanks in-part to a warm reception to last year's album, The Innocents, which was released by indie record label Mexican Summer. Drawing influence from American and British folk traditions, Mering adds her own rich, beautiful voice and whispery flourishes to create something fresh. Also on the bill: indie harp sensation Mary Lattimore. CAT JOHNSON

JAM BAND

I’ll bet the John Kadlecik of 1997 would be amazed that in 2015 he would be fronting the all-star jam band Golden Gate Wingmen. OK, maybe “all-star” is a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s kind of amazing that in less than a decade Kadlecik went from playing in a Grateful Dead cover band (Dark Star Orchestra) to playing in a band with former members of the Grateful Dead (Further). Then last year he had the gall to quit the band to form his own group, scooping up members from Ratdog, Tea Leaf Green, and Primus. Their first show was only last November, and they’re playing mostly material off of Kadlecik’s solo record, but there are plenty of grooving jams with lots of psychedelic, wandering guitar solos for jam band fans to enjoy.

AMERICANA/FOLK

THE STRAY BIRDS A few years removed from the 2012 release of their critically adored selftitled debut record, this engaging trio

is riding the momentum they have built from playing hundreds of shows around the world, and having that record be named one of NPR’s Top 10 Folk/Americana Albums. Back with a new record—Best Medicine, which released in October—they are proving to be an even stronger, more cohesive unit, whose penchant for three-part harmonies and winning melodies is front-and-center.

A husband and wife collaboration with more than a dozen albums to their name, they create smart, quietly insightful music rooted in everyday life and human tenderness.

On Feb. 15, they perform at the Rio Theatre, joined by Illinois-based singersongwriter William Fitzsimmons.

FRIDAY 2/6 INDIE

MURDER BY DEATH How brutal of a name is Murder By Death? The Indiana group certainly has a dark side, but it’s not with pummeling punk rock riffs or Satan-worshiping guitar solos. The group create mellow— albeit haunting—country-flavored, indie-folk tunes, sprinkled with a

dash of Tom Waits melodrama. They even have a cellist for extra dramatic effect. Lyrically, the devil and whisky come up a lot (with entire concept records devoted to them). After 15 years, though, they may be dropping the gothic theatrics a bit—the track “Natural Pearl” off their forthcoming record Big Dark Love is a touching altcountry song about singer Adam Turla’s love for his daughter. AC

vibe that’s easy to get caught up in. Also on the bill: Monterey-based indie rockers Valley Soul. CJ

INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $17/door. 429-4135.

It’s hard to imagine that the guy who belted out the heavy, anti-war, critical-of-all-things-institutional lyric on 2006’s The Body, The Blood, The Machine, is spending his spare time in comedy clubs. That’s right, Portland indie-punk Thermals lead singer Hutch Harris is the next Jerry Seinfeld (David Cross?). Not to worry though, the Thermals are still his primary focus, and they are no less intense than when they started in 2002. In fact, their last record, Desperate Ground, was a surprising return to frantic form after 2010’s quiet, internal record Personal Life. AC

FILM

BRUSH STROKES ‘The Bigger Picture,’ from director Daisy Jacob and producer Christopher Hees, is one of the animated

short films nominated for an Academy Award, and combines life-sized paintings and 3D stop-motion props.

Drawn In

E

xpect the weird and often wonderful from the animated short films nominated each year for an Academy Award. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the short film compilation programs (both Animated and Live-Action) that the Academy packages for theatrical release in advance of Oscar night, so the viewing public gets its only chance to see these films on a big screen. (Remember back in the Stone Age, when a cartoon short used to play before every feature film? Sigh, those were the days … ) But now, thanks to the annual “Oscar-Nominated Short Films:

Animated” program, we can see the five nominated cartoons in all their cinematic glory. Besides the five nominees, the program is rounded out with an additional four animated shorts in competition this year that are offered as “Highly Recommended.” These films come from around the world, employing a fascinating variety of animation techniques, from CGI to stop-motion, to actual hand-drawing, and it’s a treat to see cinematic art (literally) at its most personal and imaginative. A highlight of this year’s program is also the first film up: Me and My Moulton (Norway/Canada). Director Torill Kove’s wry, hand-drawn glimpse

into Scandinavian family life in the mid-1960s, has a very droll, engaging sense of humor. A 7-year-old girl (“always the middle” between her younger and older sisters) observes her life. Their parents are both “modernist” architects; the threelegged dining room chairs are always falling down, the girls are always lined up according to height, in colorful Marimekko graphic print dresses their mom sews herself, and their dad is the only man in town with a moustache. It’s a charming take on arty nonconformity from the wistful yet loving viewpoint of a child who only wants to be “normal” like everyone else.

OSCAR-NOMINATED SHORT FILMS 2015: ANIMATED *** (out of four) Nine short films by various directors. (Not rated.) 77 minutes.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | FEBRUARY 4-10, 2015

Style and imagination on display in Oscar-nominated animated shorts from around the world BY LISA JENSEN

Another highlight is The Dam Keeper (USA). The country of origin is America, but there’s a European flavor to co-directors Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi’s winsome, if occasionally heartbreaking, tale of a lonely young pig who operates a windmill at the edge of town “to keep the darkness away.” Isolated in the mill-house home with a job inherited from his father, he’s bullied until the spirited new (fox) girl at school, with a talent for drawing, befriends him. Nominee The Bigger Picture (UK), from director Daisy Jacobs and producer Christopher Hees, may involve the most interesting, original animation technique. It’s the story of two grown men caring for their elderly mother, one the designated caregiver, and his alpha, less-involved brother, Mum’s favorite, who wants to put her in a home. The bittersweet tale doesn’t amount to much, but Jacobs combines life-sized paintings (shot on a fullscale sound stage) and 3D stop-motion props—from body parts to kitchen crockery to a vacuum cleaner—in surprising, evocative ways. Walt Disney Studios chimes in with Feast (USA), Patrick Osborne’s funny tale of an orphan pup living a high life of fabulous, forbidden people food with the young man who rescues him— until a new girlfriend arrives with a healthier food agenda. And just for fun, we get A Single Life (Netherlands) from directors Marieke Blaauw, Joris Oprins, and Job Roggeveen, a fleet, fresh, two-minute extravaganza in which a woman discovers a 45 RPM record (once called a “single”) that enables her to time travel through her life. In the “Highly Recommended” segment, look for the ever-irreverent Bill Plympton’s Footprints (USA), about gun culture and fear, and Glen Keane’s lovely line-drawn pas-de-deux, Duet (USA). Both the Animated program and the Live-Action program are playing at alternating showtimes at the Nickelodeon (separate admission for each program), in advance of the Academy Awards broadcast on February 22.

TWO DAYS ONE NIGHT (DEUX JOURS UNE NUIT) Marion Cotillard stars as a blue-collar wife and mother who has just one weekend to convince a majority of her co-workers to vote to let her keep her job in a small-town factory, instead of accepting a big bonus. Most of the film consists of brief, terse interviews between harried people, and viewers might get restless wondering where it's all going. But the movie does go somewhere interesting at last, even if it takes

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN SNIPER Bradley Cooper is excellent as the conflicted protagonist in this harrowing war drama based on the memoir by Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle about

his four tours of duty in Iraq. With muscular direction by Clint Eastwood, the film plunges viewers relentlessly into the chaos of post-9/11 U.S. military ops in the desert war zone and never lets up. Eastwood captures the complex realities of modern warfare and focuses attention on a horrendous war no one wants to acknowledge, but sitting through this movie is grueling, from war-porn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military ceremony. (R) 132 minutes.(**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. BLACK OR WHITE Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer star as dueling grandparents embroiled in a custody battle over the little granddaughter (Jillian Estell) Costner’s character has raised in this drama about race, family, and good intentions. Mike Binder (The Upside of Anger) directs. (PG-13) 121 minutes. BLACK SEA Jude Law stars as a submarine captain who accepts a dubious job trolling the Black Sea for a lost sub supposedly full of gold in this drama of class warfare, corporate greed, and the pernicious influence of private wealth. Scoot McNairy, David Threlfall, and Ben Mendelsohn co-star for director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland). (R) 114 minutes. THE BOY NEXT DOOR Jennifer Lopez stars as a recent divorcee whose affair with a much-younger neighbor leads to his sinister obsession with her in this psychological thriller from Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious). Ryan Guzman, John Corbett and Kristin Chenoweth co-star. (R) CAKE Jennifer Aniston ditches make-up and her comedienne persona in this drama about a woman battling chronic pain and her own demons who becomes obsessed with another woman’s suicide. Adriana Barraza and Anna Kendrick co-star for director Daniel Barnz. (R) 91 minutes. THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzle-solver, 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) MORTDECAI! It’s Johnny Depp in burlesque comedy mode as a roguish art dealer on an international hunt to locate a stolen painting that might be the key to a treasure trove of Nazi gold. Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn, Jeff Goldblum, and Paul Bettany co-star for director David Koepp. (R) 106 minutes. THE LOFT Karl Urban and James Marsden star in this paranoia thriller about five married men who co-rent a penthouse loft in the city for their extramarital affairs—until murder throws their friendship and their secret fantasy lives into chaos. Erik Van Looy directs. (R) A MOST VIOLENT YEAR Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain star in this crime thriller set in New York City in 1981, where a successful immigrant family will stop at nothing to save their business and preserve their hefty share of the American Dream. David Oyelowo (Selma) and Albert Brooks co-star for director J. C. Chandor (All Is Lost). (R) 125 minutes. MR. TURNER Timothy Spall stars as the famed English Romantic-era painter J. M. W. Turner, whose life was as tumultuous as his wild, stormy

landscapes, in this biographical drama from filmmaker Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Another Year). (R) 149 minutes. OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS, 2015 Where are the next generation of filmmakers and animators coming from? Find out in these two complete programs (separate admission) of this year’s Oscar-nominated short films from around the world (five liveaction and five animated), offered for theatrical release in advance of the Academy Awards on Feb. 22. Astound your friends with your knowledge of these categories at your Oscar party! Animated program: Reviewed this issue. (Not rated) 77 minutes. (***)— Lisa Jensen. Live-Action: (Not rated) 117 minutes. PADDINGTON The adorable bear in the red rain hat, hero of a series of beloved children’s’ books, gets lost in London’s Paddington Train Station and taken in by a kindly English family in this mostly live-action (+ CGI bear) family adventure. Nicole Kidman, Peter Capaldi, Julie Walters, Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent head the humanoid cast. Ben Whishaw provides the voice of Paddington. (PG) 90 minutes. PROJECT ALMANAC A group of high school pals build a time machine that threatens to wreak havoc with history in this sci-fi thriller from director Dean Israelite. Amy Landecker, Jonny Weston, and Sofia Black-D’Elia star. (PG-13) SELMA The struggle to make the Voting Rights Act a reality is dramatized in this extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature from director Ava DuVernay; the story chronicles a few months in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King (played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by David Oyelowo) organized a series of protest marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery to dramatize 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. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

FOOD & DRINK what you’re tasting in Evolution juices. And that’s also why they are pricier than some other juices. Evolution drinks range from a competitive $3.39-ish for organic orange juice to $4.49 for the exceptional grapefruit and $6.50 for the green drinks. Tangerine is my favorite flavor, but we also crave the slightly tart, very intense Organic Sweet Greens with Ginger drink—involving cold-pressed cucumber, spinach, apples, lemon, lime, ginger, and celery. The more complicated the creation, the more expensive. To many taste buds, the results are well worth it. Taste one of these Evolution drinks, and be convinced.

The cold-pressed juice craze, plus fennel gelato and other local tidbits BY CHRISTINA WATERS

J

uice. It rules our breakfasts. And here’s why. Like many of you, I have been devoted to fresh organic juices, such as Odwalla products, ever since Greg Steltenpohl and his merry band of progressive innovators started up in Davenport many years ago. Finally, genuine orange juice was available, good enough to obliterate childhood memories of, ugh, frozen Minute Maid, or bottled Tropicana. Bless ’em, the latter two products were orange, and they had a citrus-themed flavor, but that’s where it ended. Odwalla was, as far as I was concerned, the industry

standard—until I tasted my first glass of Evolution cold-pressed orange juice. The cold-pressed bit is the important part—listen up: Just as cold-pressing encourages the vitality and flavor authenticity of olive oil, so too with citruses and other fruit and veggie juices. No heat pasteurization to knock back the flavor. High pressure processing keeps everything nutrient-, flavor- and colorintensive until you drink it up. Evolution’s fruit comes from the West—sources range from Salinas down to Yuma—so it doesn’t travel very far to get to us. Evolution

makes many organic juices, and all their products are non-GMO verified (save one). If you’ve ever squeezed oranges into a glass and consumed the sweet-tangy results, then you know the taste of Evolution orange juice. It is uncanny how fresh-squeezed it tastes. Cold-pressed juices are trending right now and this is why: They use every last molecule of the fruit, and there’s no heat involved to damage flavor. The fresh raw ingredients are pressed under huge amounts (tons!) of pressure, so that all of the flavor and nutrients are extracted. That’s

Gabriella Cafe features free corkage as well as exciting specials every Thursday. At Soif the other evening, Angela and I toasted our birthdays with those tiny lamb and cumin meatballs, and a cheese platter joined by flutes of pale coralhued Crémont d'Alsace rosé. Still awesome, is the lunch menu at Ivéta, where we recently split fat ciabatta rolls topped with ham, cheese, avocado and spicy aioli. Yes, I did have that addictive glutenfree Fudgy cookie for dessert. A recent dinner at La Posta put us in touch with a flight of Sicilian reds, including a stellar Calabretta Etna Rosso—the volcanic minerals of Mount Etna haunting every sip. That same evening, celebrating yet more birthdays, we also sampled a memorable antipasto of shaved Brussels sprouts, tossed with lemon, pistachios and pecorino. My main dish of long, finger-like garganelli pasta was strewn with pork sausage, cauliflower, cavolo nero and very crisp breadcrumbs. Dreamy and inspired. A gelato of fennel and another of rhubarb put the right finish on the evening. Now that the big opening crush has died down a bit up at Cremer House, I’m ready to make a visit to sample the brews and the companion dishes. Stay tuned. And speaking of breweries, expect an opening any minute now of the Corralitos Brewing Company, out on Freedom Boulevard, but then you probably guessed that already.

The Hideout Found in Aptos: refined comfort food in a historic spot BY AARON CARNES

T

Why is it called the Hideout? Are you hard to find? PETER VOMVOLAKIS: Yeah, it’s tucked away in the back of this little parking lot, kind of a frontage road. It’s a total hideout location. That’s where we got the name—you have to know it’s there, definitely. I mean, there’s a sign on the street. If you’re driving down the road, you can see there’s something back there. How have you incorporated the history into the design of the Hideout? We’ve kept a lot of the original hardwood floors. We removed the carpet and just refinished the original floors. We did a lot of redwood in the

building, which fits the area because it’s totally surrounded by redwoods. It’s a kind of modern-rustic thing. What’s a Hideout Burger? What we do is we cut up bacon, and we pack the bacon on top of the patty and then we cook it bacon side down. The bacon cooks basically in the patty, then we serve it with blue cheese. It’s like a bacon blue cheese burger, but it’s cooked a little differently. I hear you make a great root beer float. Yeah, we use Sparky’s Root Beer, which is made in Pacific Grove, and Polar Bear Ice Cream, which is made here in Santa Cruz. We try to use a lot of local products. We have Alfaro wine on tap. We’ve been selling a ton of that. And we have three local breweries on tap. And other local wines as well. Whose recipe do you use for your Nonna’s Bolognese pasta? That’s the chef’s grandma. Nonna’s Bolognese is a recipe he’s been familiar with since he was a little kid, from her. It’s got fresh tomatoes and meat basically—ground beef with fresh tomatoes and garlic and herbs. There’s no tomato paste. Just fresh meat and tomatoes and flavors with a garlic crostini and shaved Parmesan.

3 RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LAST WEEK OF MERCURY RETROGRADE This is retrograde Mercury’s final week. Mercury stations direct Wednesday, Feb. 11. Mercury will now retrace all of its retrograde degrees (from 17 degrees to 1 degree, and back over them again) until it reaches the original retrograde degree—17 Aquarius. This retracing degree is called “Mercury completing its retrograde shadow.” It ends March 4. While in its “retrograde shadow” Mercury’s not yet quite moving forward with its usual “messenger” speed. That means even though we are no longer under the Mercury retrograde where everything’s upside down and inside out, where our mind functions more internally than externally (for most of us, but not for natal Mercury retrograde people—those born with Mercury retrograde), we, too, aren’t thinking or acting or making decisions quite as clearly as usual. We remember that all that occurs on Earth

is a smaller reflection of what is occurring in the heavens. The stars, planets, Sun and Moon provide us with direction. They inform us of right timing, helping us make right choices, so that our daily lives function with ordered and organized rhythms. Few know and understand this, but those who do, stand on the threshold of the Aquarian Age, the foundation, the tools and the language of which are astrology (personality-building and Soul/Ray directed). Aquarius, the sign we are now influenced by for the month; Aquarius, the name of the New Age (an age lasts 2,500 years); Aquarius which is the Age of Humanity and of Flowers; Aquarius the Age of Serving one another, calls us to its tools and language so that we can create the New Era which is the Era of Community and of Sharing. We are all “called.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Is there something concerning a group that brings you to a state of sadness, woundedness or restriction? Ponder upon your experiences as part of a group now and groups you’ve participated with in the past. A new reality with groups is being formed. There’s an extraordinary focus on your group participation and leadership. The building of the new world needs initiative and forward-thinking leaders—with both will and love/wisdom.

A great compassion and understanding enters into your intimate relationships. You see things differently, more sacredly. Don’t let disappointments mar an ideal relationship. Maintain your ethics and values, love and respect for the process of change being encountered. Be in touch and make contact with those important to you. Contact releases Love. It’s what you’ve searched for all your life.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week Feb. 4

The energies calling to you definitely concern leadership, developed over the years yet still hiding under a mantle of ... what? Shyness, Indecision, non self-recognition, need for partnership, more information, lack of resources? Whatever the reason(s), it’s (they’re) inaccurate. Stand up, step forward.

Are you wondering about travels somewhere, a journey leading to community and a new way of life, or are you wanting adventure? It’s most important to consider all facets within and types of community. It’s (y)our future. Gemini’s task is to gather and disperse information. You know this. In your “travels” (inner and outer) and readings, in your research and wanderings, share with us what you’ve discovered. So we can all learn.

N

The Leo/Aquarian planets are directing light into your relationships, intimacy and marriage. Of all the signs at this time your interactions with others will be most unusual, including unusual people, places and events. It’s as if you stepped into the future, took on the mantle of dispassion and detachment and set about learning new realities concerning relationships. A new state of identity is also forming. You’ll need new clothes, new hair, new shoes, new everything—a new style.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Although you simply want fun and freedom, there’s also a sense of deep transformations, responsibility and work you feel must be accomplished. These experiences and feelings persist along with an added sense of obligation. Do what you can and no more. Stand in the Sun, especially at dawn and dusk. Your health must be tended to with daily care. Careful with knees, ankles and feet. Keep warm.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 There’s a focus on home and family while you’re also out and about in the world (calling to you). You seek to change something in both places. Pondering, researching and writing about family assumed great directional meaning. Now you consider the new family you want to create. As family values change, they come closer to reality. Family is our first community.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Your mind places you in the future. You wonder how you can maximize your place, identity and work in a future that is unknown to most of us. You feel change, opposition, revolution and revelations in whatever you do. There’s no neutralizer for this, no quick fix. You may be irritable, and even your appliances and car may be too. This will pass and something disappears. Wait, watch, listen with patience and objectivity. Big things are ahead.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Careful with communication. Observe others listening to you. Are they understanding your words and intentions? You may encounter many different opinions. Allow them, finding your way in and through them. Make sure the vehicle(s) you’re traveling in are safe. Don’t feel you’re off track or any goals are lost. Transformation’s coming at a fast pace and you’re its point of reference. Create a new beauty with the new resources given to you.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Happy Birthday, Aquarius. During our birthday month we shine like the Sun. You are busy on many levels, attempting new endeavors, enthusiastic, lively, bright, and happy. Your Uranian energy makes the rest of us exhausted. Proceed onward even if you must leave us behind. You’re rushing into the future, preparing it for everyone. You’re the “waters of life poured forth for thirsty humanity.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Pisces is one of the signs that can feel left in the dust when Aquarius rushes by. That’s OK, for now, though, because you’re to become quite reclusive, contemplative and private. This is a spiritually and imaginatively important, creative time. Remember the nightly review prior to sleep. Review the previous day and see that it was good. The next day becomes clarifying. Allow no difficulties to deter your path. Write and paint and start thinking about making Valentines.
