LOCAL TALK

Would you support a federal law that mandates vaccinations for children?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Yes, because in doing so you’re protecting the community as a whole.

DEVONNE JOHNSON

SANTA CRUZ | ONTOLOGICAL COACH

No, because I don’t believe our government should have the ability to make laws about what we do with our health.

JAN DOWNEY

SANTA CRUZ | CAREGIVER

I am pro-vaccination, but I feel like mandating people to get their kids vaccinated will cause an even greater backlash than there is already, so it could make the issue more decisive.

LAUREN TURNER

SANTA CRUZ | STAY-AT-HOME-MOM

AMELIA GOUDBERG

SANTA CRUZ | CAFE MANAGER

Yes. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

JAMES VERGON

SANTA CRUZ | PROCTOLOGIST

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

I would not say that that is OK, only because I feel like everybody has freedom of choice. I have a child of my own, and whether I vaccinate him or not should be my choice.

Week of February 11 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

There are many different facets to your intelligence, and each matures at a different rate. So for example, your ability to think symbolically may evolve more slowly than your ability to think abstractly. Your wisdom about why humans act the way they do may ripen more rapidly than your insight into your own emotions. In the coming weeks, I expect one particular aspect of your intelligence to be undergoing a growth spurt: your knowledge of what your body needs and how to give it what it needs.

Edward III, a medieval English king, had a favorite poet: Geoffrey Chaucer. In 1374, the king promised Chaucer a big gift in appreciation for his talents: a gallon of wine every day for the rest of his life. That's not the endowment I would have wanted if I had been Chaucer.

I'd never get any work done if I were quaffing 16 glasses of wine every 24 hours. Couldn't I instead be provided with a regular stipend? Keep this story in mind, Libra, as you contemplate the benefits or rewards that might become available to you. Ask for what you really need, not necessarily what the giver initially offers.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 What is the proper blend for you these days? Is it something like 51 percent pleasure and 49 percent business? Or would you be wiser to shoot for 49 percent pleasure and 51 percent business? I will leave that decision up to you, Taurus. Whichever way you go, I suggest that you try to interweave business and pleasure as often as possible. You are in one of those action-packed phases when fun dovetails really well with ambition. I'm guessing that you can make productive connections at parties. I'm betting that you can spice up your social life by taking advantage of what comes to you through your work.

GEMINI May21–June20 In 1900, the world's most renowned mathematicians met at a conference in Paris. There the German whiz David Hilbert introduced his master list of 23 unsolved mathematical problems. At the time, no one had done such an exhaustive inventory. His well-defined challenge set the agenda for math research throughout the 20th century. Today he's regarded as an influential visionary. I'd love to see you come up with a list of your own top unsolved problems, Gemini. You now have extra insight about the catalytic projects you will be smart to work on and play with during the coming years.

"Spanipelagic" is an adjective scientists use to describe creatures that typically hang out in deep water but float up to the surface on rare occasions.

The term is not a perfect metaphorical fit for you, since you come up for air more often than that. But you do go through phases when you're inclined to linger for a long time in the abyss, enjoying the dark mysteries and fathomless emotions. According to my reading of the astrological omens, that's what you've been doing lately. Any day now, however, I expect you'll be rising up from the Great Down Below and headed topside for an extended stay.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 When faced with a big decision, you might say you want to "sleep on it." In other words, you postpone your final determination until you gather more information and ripen your understanding of the pressing issues. And that could indeed involve getting a good night's sleep.

What happens in your dreams may reveal nuances you can't pry loose with your waking consciousness alone.

And even if you don't recall your dreams, your sleeping mind is busy processing and reworking the possibilities.

I recommend that you make liberal use of the "sleep on it" approach in the coming weeks, Leo. Revel in the wisdom that wells up in you as you're lying down in the dark.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In 1962, Edward Albee published his play “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” It won numerous awards and is still performed by modern theater groups.

Albee says the title came to him as he was having a beer at a bar in New York City. When he went to the restroom, he spied the words "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" scrawled in soap on the mirror. I urge you to be alert for that kind of inspiration in the coming days, Virgo: unexpected, provocative, and out of context. You never know when and where you may be furnished with clues about the next plot twist of your life story.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 To make the cocktail known as Sex on the Beach, you mix together cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, peach schnapps, and vodka. There is also an alternative "mocktail" called Safe Sex on the Beach. It has the same fruit juices, but no alcohol. Given the likelihood that your inner teenager will be playing an important role in your upcoming adventures, Scorpio, I recommend that you favor the Safe-Sex-onthe-Beach metaphor rather than the Sex-on-the-Beach approach. At least temporarily, it's best to show a bit of protective restraint toward the wild and sometimes erratic juvenile energy that's pushing to be expressed.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener," a lawyer hires a man named Bartleby to work in his office.

At first Bartleby is a model employee, carrying out his assignments with dogged skill. But one day everything begins to change. Whenever his boss instructs him to do a specific task, Bartleby says, "I would prefer not to." As the days go by, he does less and less, until finally he stops altogether. I'd like to propose, Sagittarius, that you take inspiration from his slowdown. Haven't you done enough for now? Haven't you been exemplary in your commitment to the daily struggle? Don't you deserve a break in the action so you can recharge your psychospiritual batteries?

I say yes. Maybe you will consider making this your battle cry: "I would prefer not to."

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." That's what American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. Even if you're not naturally inclined to see the potential wisdom of that approach, I invite you to play around with it for the next three weeks. You don't need to do it forever. It doesn't have to become a permanent fixture in your philosophy. Just for now, experiment with the possibility that trying lots of experiments will lead you not just to new truths, but to new truths that are fun, interesting, and useful.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 The art of the French Aquarian painter Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) appears in prestigious museums. He isn't as famous as his fellow Impressionists Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, but he wielded a big influence on them both. His career developed slowly because he had to work a day job to earn a living. When he was 50 years old, he won a wad of free money in the national lottery, and thereafter devoted himself full-time to painting. I'm not saying you will enjoy a windfall like that anytime soon, Aquarius, but such an event is possible. At the very least, your income could rise. Your odds of experiencing financial luck will increase to the degree that you work to improve the best gifts you have to offer your fellow humans.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 "It isn't normal to know what we want," said pioneering psychologist Abraham Maslow. "It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement." That's the bad news, Pisces.

The good news is that you may be on the verge of rendering that theory irrelevant. In the coming weeks, you will be better primed to discover what you really want than you have been in a long time. I suggest you do a ritual in which you vow to unmask this treasured secret. Write a formal statement in which you declare your intention to achieve full understanding of the reasons you are alive on this planet.

OPINION

<4

RE: DOG BEACHES We have miles and miles of beaches. Are there dogs on every beach? I would imagine household cats cause more bird deaths than dogs. If you look at the eucalyptus trees around Schwan Lagoon, where the cormorants roost, the trees and their environs are very messy due to bird poop, but nobody complains.

— SUSAN B KARIMCHISE

I live on one of these proposed beaches, and I cannot tell you how many times I see dogs defecate on the beach without anyone picking it up. I see countless dog fights

and even numerous human confrontations regarding dogs. I don't see birds or sea lions. I see dogs and poop. I hear dogs, and their human counterparts yelling at them, all day from before sunrise until after sunset. Now I'm a dog lover, and there is nothing I like to see more than a happy pooch running wild and free, but it's not like there are not existing parks for them to do so in Santa Cruz. I think it is more a matter of the ol' lazy dog owner who wants to make nature convenient for them. I'm not buying it or this pilot program. Take your dogs to the dog parks. We have already paid for them, and will continue to do so.

WELLNESS couples to ensure the flame never goes out in the bedroom. Or other areas of the house, for that matter.

That’s not the only time, adds David, about Wednesdays. “It’s kind of like, with sexuality, having sex begets having sex. Not having sex begets not having sex,” says Tracy, whose easy laugh and enthusiasm complements David’s soft-spoken interjections, which lean into philosophy—what love is, the mystery of what draws two people together.

Role playing often, they demonstrate constructive approaches to communication, clearing the cobwebs of resentment, and talking about sensitive things— all with the consequence of keeping an intimate, supportive connection alive. I learned more about love in an hour than I’ve learned in three decades of life. Here were a few of the most eye- (or heart-) opening lessons I took away from our talk:

1. STAY CALM, IT’S ONLY LOVE WEATHERING THE YEARS David and Tracy Wikander will teach a Couples Vitality training on Valentine’s weekend,

Love Litmus

L

ike many, my parents met at a young age, possibly fell in love, and made us kids. They are two of my favorite people on this planet, and I am grateful for everything they taught me, but how to stay married wasn’t one of those things. They fought more than they kissed, and the resentments built up over the years, as resentments do, until eventually the foundation split apart. I don’t want to ruin Valentine’s day, but, statistically, that’s how it goes for some 50 percent of marriages in America.

“That’s actually the point that a lot of couples come to me,” says Tracy Wikander, a marriage and family

therapist, and half of Couples Vitality, the company she launched last year in Barcelona with her husband David Wikander, a relationship coach. “And that’s a common mistake, that they wait too long to get help.”

So what does a healthy, functional relationship even look like? I ask Tracy and David, only realizing after they left that the answer was sitting right in front of me the whole time.

Drawing on their experience coaching and counseling troubled couples in their own separate practices, Couples Vitality trains couples how to foster healthy, vibrant relationships. But it’s less about salvaging marriages (although they’ve done that too) than

it is about maintenance and damage control.

In their 23 years of marriage, Tracy and David have accomplished amazing things together, like raise two children and run nutrition and white-water rafting companies.

They take turns speaking, building off each other’s ideas. They listen, laugh and touch often. And after two decades spent sleeping in the same bed, they still flirt.

“David and I have a sex date,” says Tracy. “Every Wednesday night, come hell or high water, we’re havin’ sex!”

OK, a sex date is not the Holy Grail of relationship satisfaction, per se. But it’s one viable tool they recommend to

2. IDEALS, SHMIDEALS Well, obviously it’s important to acknowledge the ideal qualities we look for in a partner—a >12

Relationship role models share tools for fostering a healthy, vibrant relationship BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

Even from the first intoxicating stab of cupid’s arrow, it is possible (and probably in your best interest) to approach a new love from a rational and functional standpoint. At love’s first bite, the question becomes, “What is the form of the relationship that is right for us, what makes sense for us?” says David.

Realistically, the love you’ve stumbled upon may work only as a meaningful but short-term fling, or an incredible, non-sexual connection.

Or maybe you really have found yourself the soulmate you want to spend the rest of your life with. But how will you know? I press. “You just, kind of, know,” says David. That’s it.

You just kind of know.

“Here’s something about falling in love,” says David. “If two people are really open, if they have really open hearts, they can fall in love. Now what does that mean? To me that means, that’s really cool, you’re both open to the space of love.” But falling in love doesn’t necessarily mean you should get married, buy a house, and make kids. “That’s the fairy tale,” says Tracy.

mentally sane nonsmoker, for instance, is a legitimate place to start—but once you’ve found a partner that fits your lifestyle, get rid of your check list.

“Where we get in trouble is when we start to compare our ideal to the actual relationship we’re in,” says David. “So if this is my ideal, and my partner doesn’t match this, and then I try to change my partner, or get mad at them, that doesn’t work.” The person you’re with may not be perfect, but they may very well be perfect for you.

And, anyone who carries around an ideal partner checklist should probably hear this, too: “It’s really important that we don’t look to our partner to create our happiness, or be our inspiration, we have to definitely find that within ourselves,” says Tracy. “We have to bring our whole being to the relationship.”

3. RESPECT AND HONOR DIFFERENCES

FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Wikanders recommend a thorough assessment of both your own and your partner’s values and beliefs— especially before doing something like tying the knot.

“And if you’re not aligned, in any of the differences that you may have, how are you holding and how are you working with it?” says Tracy. “Because if you try to go in and change each other, then you’re just going into a fight. Like if someone is Catholic, and the other person is agnostic or atheist, there has to be a deep respect for each other’s paths, and acceptance.”

If Tracy and David had it their way, children would learn communication and relationship skills in elementary school. Communication is the iron core of any healthy relationship. But most couples they see are either avoiding one or more topics of conversation altogether, or having the conversations in a counterproductive way.

“So many couples, not all of them, but a lot, are actually afraid to speak about sexuality, because they don’t want to hurt their partner’s feelings, they’re even afraid to ask for what works for them sexually,” says Tracy, who notes that in many partnerships, there is one partner who wants sex more than the other—an issue that is not at all as impossible to solve as it

seems. “That’s one of the things we actually do in the training, is give the couples time to actually work with the sensitive subject.”

Parenting is a very common topic of conversation that can become contentious and lead to fights— often causing couples to avoid them altogether. Finances and sex are common areas of avoidance. “But couples will avoid anything,” says Tracy.

5. PLUG IN TO EACH OTHER More than anything, keeping a relationship vibrant is about keeping the connection alive and well, or electric, if you will. “That’s probably the number one thing where we see couples fall down,” says Tracy. “In the beginning, in the honeymoon phase and in the shiny-sweet phase, our relationship is a priority, and we don’t have to work at that. And then life happens. We’re in our careers, or we have our children, and we tend to become, in a way, unaware or unconscious around nurturing or keeping the connection.”

What most people don’t realize is that it’s possible to keep your relationship a priority and keep your kids and career as a priority, too, adds David. “Probably the best thing that we can do for our children is to model a healthy working relationship,” says Tracy. “I mean, could you imagine what a different world we would have?”

If you have kids, make special time for just mom and dad to connect—a date night, a hike, it doesn’t really matter what it is. “Kids, they get that, they understand that, and, actually, they think it’s kind of cool,” says David. Because ultimately, mom and dad usually come back happier.

6. FLIRT That’s right. Even if you’ve been together forever. Flirting should never get old. “That’s what keeps sexuality alive, and I think that’s what keeps relationships vibrant too,” says David.

“Even if it’s just something like this [touching Tracy’s shoulder], it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as we’re putting energy toward our partner.

“Flirting can be subtle, too,” he adds.

“Like a little text, just one word, like ‘Tonight.’” Is it Wednesday already?

NEWS GREEN PIECE Fred Keeley says Coast Dairies faces threat from Alaska

BY MICHELLE FITZSIMMONS

ACTING UP As Keeley and company race to establish the Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument, the bill that worries him is H.R. 330, which would require Congressional approval for national monument designations, effectively gutting the Antiquities Act. The Antiquities Act was signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It gives presidents the authority to set aside federal public lands as national monuments without Congress giving the go-ahead, though Keeley noted historically presidents of both parties have sought to work with local representatives

Santa Cruz County officials and medical cannabis advocates struggle with cultivation laws BY ARIC SLEEPER

T

here are unpermitted water diversions, poisons and pesticides, and forests being plowed over by the acre. Add to that health and building code violations, and it starts to become clear why rural county residents are reaching out to county officials, asking them to stop guerilla marijuana growers—many of whom may be coming from outside of the county—from operating in areas like Bonny Doon and Corralitos.

Their frustrations came to a head at a recent county meeting.

“I saw trees being torn down, trucks

with fertilizer from who-knowswhere, and no regulation in sight,” said one troubled mountain resident at a Board of Supervisors meeting late last month. “All of this is a nuisance, but finally when cultivation was ripening—with big bushes of over a hundred plants—there was this noxious smell that I was not aware of. My home was inundated with it. It was all saturated. My three-year-old— everything smelled like skunk.”

Even many local medical marijuana advocates are fed up. County supervisors are too, as they struggle to create the best regulations to handle

the problem. Bryce Berryessa, a board member of the Association for Standardized Cannabis, worries that the proposed changes to the ordinance would do little to curb the actions of careless cultivators, which he believes are a minority in the county.

“The actions of a few bad players have been so abhorrent and so detrimental to their neighborhoods that the county is really feeling the pressure from neighbors all over in Corralitos and other rural mountain communities,” says Berryessa. “These people have just come in and they’re growing as much pot as they >14

The campaign to designate a 5,800-acre swath of tumbling hills and towering redwoods north of Wilder Ranch as a national monument open to the public is gaining momentum, but time may be of the essence for organizers.

That’s because a fight is brewing between a century-old bill and a Republican lawmaker from Alaska who wants to fundamentally alter it. Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) wants to reform the Antiquities Act, which allows the president to restrict the use of federal land.

That effort could jeopardize the local plans to transform the property known locally as Coast Dairies into the Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument.

“There’s an urgency now that has been added,” says Fred Keeley, convener of the County of Santa Cruz Open Space Project. Possible changes, he adds, have “gone from being a remote possibility to being a real possibility.”

Young’s bill would strip the president of his power to designate national monuments, something he can currently do without Congressional approval.

Local advocates will host a Feb. 12 kickoff event at the Kaiser Permanente arena to rally locals around the monument. They hope to show the White House there’s robust community support for the designation. It’s part of a larger plan to gather at least 10,000 signatures to send to President Barack Obama.

“We are trying to build the widest, deepest base of support possible to petition the White House to designate the Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument,” says Keeley, whose term as county treasurer wrapped up last month.

“This needs to happen in 2015.”

NEWS JOINT EFFORT <13 can, and they don’t care how they do it, and don’t care who they upset.”

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors passed rules in February 2014 giving limited immunity to medical cannabis dispensaries to grow marijuana for patients in need.

But that new ordinance may have brought a wave of guerilla growers, who both Berryessa and 3rd District County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty say probably came from outside of the county. Coonerty says much of the pot is being exported—and not all of it for medicinal purposes.

“We’re trying to find a better balance and discourage these outof-town cultivators from coming here and starting these commercial agricultural operations in residential neighborhoods,” says Coonerty.

Both Berryessa and Coonerty admit that the claims that growers are not local are mostly anecdotal.

After listening to mounting

complaints from county residents, the Board of Supervisors voted in November 2014 to ask the county’s legal counsel to revise the language of the county’s cannabis cultivation laws. The supervisors hope that a new ordinance will still allow patients to get the medicine they need while keeping cannabis grows away from residential areas.

The county’s planning department and legal counsel presented the proposed revisions to the Board of Supervisors at a Jan. 27 meeting.

Recommendations included eliminating a 99-plant limit, restricting cannabis cultivations to agricultural and commercial agriculture zoning districts to keep them away from neighborhoods, and creating a “closed loop” relationship between dispensaries and cultivators, which would make the supply chain more transparent. Growers would be registered with the county, and dispensaries would have to report where they get their cannabis.

The Board of Supervisors ultimately voted 5-0 to keep the existing code for now, while county officials work on new language with input from cannabis advocates like Berryessa.

More than 35 county residents spoke in front of the board that day.

Among them were citizens concerned about the negative impacts of unsanctioned growers, but speakers were from all over the spectrum.

Some spoke about the effects that marijuana use can have on the juvenile population. “We are here today to keep the impact on youth and the importance of prevention part of this conversation,” Robyn Mckeen, community organizer, said on behalf of the United Way’s Community Prevention Partners. “We now know through scientific research from reputable groups such as the American Academy of Pediatrics that there are long-term negative effects on brain development when marijuana is used in excess during the adolescent years.”

Some Santa Cruzans are thinking creatively about our state’s children and their futures. That creativity is embodied in two upcoming events featuring two authors, both of whom have witnessed up close and personal what juvenile incarceration is like.

The first event is What’s Just?, happening Feb. 13-14 at Inner Light Ministries.

The Santa Cruz Warriors basketball team, Barrios Unidos and Resource Center for Nonviolence are all sponsoring the event, along with Inner Light.

On Friday night, the summit, which explores the theme of “juvenile justice,” tips off with award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein, author of the new book “Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison.”

Bernstein says Santa Cruz has a reputation nationwide for

its focus on rehabilitation and the attitudes of its probation department. She was impressed by how many different groups have come together for this event.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a community come together with this diversity in terms of who’s involved,” she says. “And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the community is showing its support for the kids, and that your public systems are in general wellregarded.”

Saturday’s events will include panels, group discussions and art.

Warriors forward Anthony Vereen has pledged to work with youth from inside Santa Cruz County Juvenile Hall and made his first visit with the children last week.

Bernstein argues in her book that the juvenile prison system is broken. She says that while many kids break serious laws, rich

kids for the most part avoid state prisons, often because they are sent to diversion programs, which are proven to better rehabilitate kids. Other times, the criminal issues are simply dealt with by their families and communities.

Bernstein says it’s largely the poor kids who go to state prisons, and often emerge worse than when they went in.

“There’s actually no such thing as a juvenile delinquent. It’s a developmental phase that all kids go through,” she says.

Although Bernstein says she’s “not naïve enough” to think that all kids can be left alone, she argues that public institutions would have more success if they focused on supporting children “with relationships with positive adults.”

The importance of positive vibes is also a message of Santa Cruz journalist Ami Chen MillsNaim, who worked five years in

juvenile facilities, including a year and a half teaching at a maximumsecurity institution.

“They really responded to that core belief in their potential,” she says of the kids she got to know.

Her new book, “State of Mind in the Classroom”—which she will discuss on March 15 at Santa Cruz Yoga—explains how adults can help kids find their inner truths and sense of wisdom, or as she calls it “their resiliency.”

“It’s about educators and parents finding their own sense of being present,” Mills-Naim says of the book.

What’s Just? begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13 at Inner Light Ministries in Soquel. Ami Chen Mills-Naim will speak at Santa Cruz Yoga on March 15, from 1:30-4 p.m. JACOB PIERCE

FLOWER POWER Environmentalists are pushing for a national monument on the Coast Dairies property, although the Rural Bonny Doon Association has some concerns.

FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

rather than exercise absolute executive power.

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, whose district includes Coast Dairies, is drafting a House resolution seeking designation.

Young’s bill, which is currently in a House committee, would likely have died in the Democrat-held Senate, but Republicans now hold a majority in both chambers of Congress.

While it’s hard to imagine Obama supporting the bill, Keeley, a former legislator himself, fears the plan might be slipped in as an amendment on an unrelated bill—perhaps one that the president wants to sign.

Matthew Shuckerow, a spokesman for Young, says H.R. 330 does not preclude future national monuments but rather seeks to create a more transparent process by mandating congressional approval.

“States that have lots of federal land—like Alaska—have been mistreated in unilateral [national monument] decisions,” says Shuckerow. Presidential designations, he adds, limit economic and transportation use of the land “without local input or full review.”

Shuckerow understands local concerns over Young’s legislation. He offers that in cases where there is public and local representative support

for a national monument, “things would move much more quickly, and there would be support in Congress to pass” a resolution.

Young introduced the bill last month, and it has no firm timeline for passing. If it makes it out of the House Committee on National Resources, it would go before the House and then Senate for votes before landing on the president’s desk.

Should the president veto the bill, Shuckerow says Young would pursue other avenues, and the congressman would “continue to work on legislation that we believe in.” He would not comment on the possibility of H.R. 330 ending up as an amendment to another bill.

Keeley notes that the Antiquities Act has been used by both Republican and Democratic presidents to preserve important natural resources. At this point, he doesn’t want to sit around and wait to see fate of H.R. 330 “We don’t want to be caught in that partisan battle between the president and Congress, so we are really reaching out to the community to do something with great speed,” he says.

The president could sign off on the designation at any time, and then the real work of securing funding and drafting and implementing a national monument management plan would begin. It would take

years to fully implement the plan’s recreation and conservation aspects, but without the designation, those may never happen.

If the monument designation were delayed, the property, which is currently owned by the Bureau of Land Management, runs the risk of missing out on federal and state funding needed to implement recreational components, like trails, and conservation efforts.

“We are very concerned that without national monument status, the Coast Dairies property will have a nice plan, and then nothing will happen after that,” Keeley says.

SAFE SPACE Feb. 12 will serve as the first public event for the national monument campaign. Guests include former Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, an internationally recognized environmental advocate, Eshoo and members of communities with national monuments, including Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker.

The event is free and open to the public, and will run from 6 to 8 p.m. at Kaiser Permanente Arena. Keeley says so far the response to the kick-off has been overwhelmingly positive.

Despite the groundswell of support, the campaign isn’t a slam dunk. Some groups, like

the Rural Bonny Doon Association, have raised concerns regarding public safety, funding and the impact to the communities nearest the property.

The association is afraid the expected influx of tourists would put a strain on local resources, including fire and police departments, and that the monument would lack adequate funding to build on-site infrastructure and keep it maintained in the long term.

Keeley says the campaign welcomes issues raised by the association as well as Davenport residents, noting the event will provide for “frank discussion” around the monument.

Dan Alper, a Bonny Doon resident and member of the Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument advisory board, says the benefits outweigh any potential negatives for him.

“I couldn’t support the monument designation if it would in anyway jeopardize the land,” he says. “This is a wonderful opportunity and we’d be making a huge mistake if we didn’t really make an effort to protect the property.”

The Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument Campaign Kick-off will be held at the Kaiser Permanente Arena from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12. Visit santacruzredwoods.org for more info.

were local cannabis advocates and medical marijuana patients.

Cannabis advocates expressed the need for increased regulation and enforcement, but disagreed with the language of the proposed ordinance.

Berryessa says responsible local cultivators are eager to work with the county to find a middle ground, and that the proposed ordinance would simply put them on the wrong side of the law.

He says that forcing responsible growers into commercial ag and ag zones would not stop the illegal growers in the mountains. “Those people will continue to cultivate, regardless of what the law says, as long as they’re able to,” says Berryessa, also a co-founder of Cookie Co. 831, a cannabis collective.

There are many parties concerned with cannabis cultivation—medical marijuana patients and advocates, dispensaries, concerned citizens, and county officials. They all agree that the negative social and environmental impacts occurring in the mountains needs to be stopped.

At present, the county has limited resources to act on code violators, but with the passage of Measure K, which will increase taxes on marijuana businesses in the unincorporated areas of the county, officials may find the resources they need to put a stop to the illegal grows. The board approved funding on Jan. 27 to hire additional code enforcement officers, something Coonerty says the county is set to do in the near future.

Whatever the board’s policy decision, 2nd District Supervisor, Zach Friend guaranteed at the Jan. 27 meeting that it will not make everybody happy.

Coonerty says that the cultivation policies he and his colleagues are making have little precedent. With the possibility of legalized cannabis on the 2016 ballot, creating a bulletproof ordinance has proven to be an arduous task.

“We are trying to make policy while the ground beneath us is changing, and potentially changing dramatically in 2016,” says Coonerty. “But I think we are heading in the right direction.”

more different personalities, two more different sensibilities—about life, about love, about everything that matters. “What are you doing?”

I wanted to scream at them. “Don’t you know what you are doing?”

My parents were both in grief when they met, sometime in the summer of 1949, on Beach Street, not far from where my mother worked at the old Pleasure Pier.

My father’s mother had just died of heart failure, and his father was to die the following spring. My mother’s father and her beloved eldest brother (only 42) would also die within the year, and, perhaps even more significantly, she was still recovering from the death of her fiancé, who had been killed in Italy

during World War II. My father was 24 at the time, my mother, a decade older. This still startles me when I write it. He always seemed—and looked—so much older than her that, when I was growing up, I thought it was the other way around.

They dated, got engaged, and decided to run away to Reno to get married in the summer of 1951. Did they fall in love along the way? Of that, I’m uncertain. I suppose my mother clearly did, but I don’t recall my father ever being all that loving during my childhood. Quite the contrary.

Born in the coal country of Western Pennsylvania, my father had a tough childhood during the

UNDER THEIR SKIN

Long after their tumultuous relationship had ended, an interviewer asked Gardner why she had put up with Sinatra for so long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a sort of madness, honey,â&#x20AC;? she intoned in her seductive southern drawl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fighting all the time. Fighting and boozing. But he was good in the feathers. You don't pay much attention to what other people tell you when a guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good in the feathers.â&#x20AC;? <22 Aside from the Ava Gardner story, neither of my parents ever talked about their honeymoon. Ever.

There were no mementos. No ticket stubs. But shortly before he died (and decades after my parents had divorced), my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, my uncle Jim, sent me a pack of small photographs that my dad had sent him from the honeymoon. There were more than a dozen of them, black-and-white, all with snappy little captions written by my father.

There was also one larger image that served as my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wedding photo. My father, a cigar in his left hand, is looking lovingly at my mother, while she looks off at an angle in the distance. (Later, after finding several Frank and Ava photos taken the same evening, I realized that Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s braceleted wrist is hanging over my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left shoulder; Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm is above my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head.) On the back of the photo my dad had written my uncle: â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.S. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stogieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was for you, junior.â&#x20AC;?

When they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at the Riverside watching Sinatra, the photo set revealed that they had taken in the mining country around Virginia City, and later enjoyed some relaxing time at the lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we have Mrs. Dunnâ&#x20AC;? my father wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who once said of Lake Tahoeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Depression, joined the Navy at 16 years old, came west to serve in the Pacific fleet, and never looked back. He was working as an airline mechanic on the San Francisco Peninsula at the time. On weekdays, my mother sold cosmetics at a local pharmacy; on weekends she worked on the Pleasure Pier selling tickets for her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speed Boat rides.

She still lived at the family home on Bay Street with several of her adult siblings and her recently widowed mother.

My father had been around the blockâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;around the world, for that matter. He was war-hardened, tough, a brawler. My mother had barely left Santa Cruz. She was a sweetheart. Everyone loved her.

Let me note that my old man was not a Sinatra fan. He was a bebop aficionado in his teensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Monk, Gillespie and Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and he loved the voices of Billie Holiday and, later, Carmen McRae. About the time he and my mother were married, he discovered the music of Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet. Sinatra was way too pop for him, too mainstream. But he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking my mom to the South Side of Chicago or to Harlem for their honeymoon. So Sinatra in Reno it was.

HWY 1 to S.C. 41st Ave.

f my parents did not exactly form a Dharmic union, well, Frank and Ava were something else again.

Gardner was a dark, sultry beauty, a seductive screen siren who played by her own rules during an era when women seldom called the shots.

Born to poor sharecropper parents, she had a pronounced backwoods Carolina drawl that she needed to lose for the silver screen, but she never abandoned her regional cadences, her Southern sense of chivalry. When she was 19, she was discovered through a photograph of her taken by her brother-in-law, and she burned a path straight to Hollywood.

Gardner’s sister once called Ava “Sinatra in drag,” a “man eater” who left behind a string of broken hearts in her wake. She had been married to the actor Mickey Rooney and the bandleader Artie Shaw (both ill-fated and short-lived), and had well-publicized affairs with the tycoon Howard Hughes and Ernest Hemingway.

Sinatra, married and with three young children at the time they met, became obsessed with the greeneyed, raven-haired beauty. When reports surfaced that she was having an affair on the set in Spain with the handsome bullfighter Mario Cabré, Sinatra stormed across the Atlantic to stake his claim. She had turned Sinatra into a pretzel and later turned Cabré into one as well. (He wrote a book of love poems for her, hoping to win her back.)

Anyone close to Sinatra during the 1950s would identify Gardner as “the love of his life,” but it’s a fine line between love and obsession.

Maybe not so fine. On one occasion,

he bluffed a suicide attempt by unloading a revolver into a bed mattress.

The very same day my parents arrived in “The Biggest Little City in the World” for their marriage— Aug. 18, 1951—Gardner also arrived in Reno to be with Frank.

It was said that he was there for a $25,000 payday (and there’s no doubt he needed the money), but the overriding purpose of his sojourn was to establish a sixweek residency in Nevada so that he could obtain a divorce from his wife, Nancy. As a result, Frank and Ava’s high-desert rendezvous was international news, with headlines and their images splashed everywhere.

It goes against our perception of him as Chairman of the Board, but the fact is that Sinatra’s career was on the skids at the time. He was on the verge of losing his record contract with Columbia (unbelievably, he would go without one for two years), his TV show had been cancelled, his agency dumped him. His alleged Mafia ties and leftwing politics (he was accused of being a Communist sympathizer), not to mention his highly publicized extramarital affair with Gardner, had made him persona non grata with the Wonder Bread American media.

Indeed, Gardner would later boast that it was she who kept the boat afloat during those years, and there’s some truth to that.

She was the ascendant star—her picture appeared on the cover of Time magazine the following week, identifying her as Hollywood’s new “It” girl.

Behind the scenes, however, the mood was much darker. The week of my parents’ honeymoon—not long after she complimented my mother on her dress—Gardner spilled the dirty details to Sinatra about her love affair with Cabré in Spain. It didn’t go over well with her husband-to-be. Frankie went into a rage and staged another suicide attempt, only this time he swallowed the pills. The doctors got called in to pump out his stomach; his press agent got brought in to clean up the

mess. But the news leaked.

Frank and Ava split Tahoe and made their way to the East Coast and eventually got married in Philadelphia.

Long after their tumultuous relationship had ended, an interviewer asked Gardner why she had put up with Sinatra for so long. “It was a sort of madness, honey,” she intoned in her seductive southern drawl. “We were fighting all the time. Fighting and boozing.

But he was good in the feathers. You don’t pay much attention to what other people tell you when a guy’s good in the feathers.”

Gardner was not the first person to confuse lust for love. But the feathers only took them so far.

Frank and Ava split a few years later, both engulfed in extramarital affairs that scorched the newspapers and scandal sheets. They divorced in 1956.

Frank and Lindy did not. They stuck it out.

I had an older brother, born in 1953, who died shortly after his birth, surely bringing yet another cloud of grief to my parents’ young marriage. I was born in ’55, and my sister in ’57. Two decades later, my old man split, a la Sinatra, for a much younger woman, and it was to get uglier before the seas settled a bit and life moved on.

B

y the time my mother and I arrived at Bally’s in April of 1988, Frankie Boy had gone through a series of career transformations, abandoning his leftist politics for the political and cultural tenets of Reaganism (in part, perhaps, because of perceived betrayals by the Kennedys), and he had become an icon of the conservative right.

As a result, I didn’t appear to be a good fit that night in Reno, with my long hair and Levi’s, but I was committed to making the most of the evening for my mother; no beefs, no trouble. Truth be told, I dug the scene, the high rollers Sinatra brought in, the would-be gangsters and wannabe starlets who were

constantly drawn to his flame.

Plus, I dug his music, his act, his passionate musical interpretations.

I had arranged for some press credentials through the San Francisco Chronicle for the show at Bally’s, just in case, and when I flashed them, much to my surprise, the maitre de escorted my mother and me front row, center stage. Dead center. I tipped him a twenty. They were thousand-dollar seats. My mom was in heaven. So was I. You got two cocktails per seat for the show, which meant I got four, since my mother didn’t drink, which translated into eight, since they allowed you to order doubles. I drank Jack Daniels “over,” in honor of Frankie, and later added coffee to the mix, which had me floating by the time the show started, writing down notes, keeping an eye on my mom. She was making chit-chat with the people around her, as she always did, finishing her remarks with her signature “Hey, hey!” She told many people the story about Ava and her dress.

In her early 70s at the time, my mom was still a striking woman.

Frankie cast his eye on her for much of the show, and there were times when Sinatra was singing directly into her eyes. At one point he reached down and grabbed her hand.

She was glowing. She rocked her head lightly to every song, sinking into the moment. She may have been six months older than Ol’ Blue Eyes, but she looked decades younger.

The 40-piece band, conducted

by Sinatra’s son, Frankie Jr., was swinging. Sinatra sang amazing forceful renditions of “Mack the Knife,” “New York, New York,” and Stevie Wonder’s “For Once In My Life.” His signature anthem “My Way,” moved me to tears. But the song that knocked me out was a dramatic version of “One for My Baby”—Sinatra sitting on a bar stool in front of the piano with a cigarette and a sour-mash whiskey in hand.

That performance had Ava written all over it.

Sinatra’s once velvet baritone and legato phrasing were long gone, but I much preferred the seasoned,

UNDER THEIR SKIN <28 edgier, life-hardened voice of his later years. It was a triumphant evening. A woman nearby kept yelling out loudly, “That man can wear a suit! Boy, can that guy wear a suit!” Then she turned to me and said, “Kid, you’d look good in one, too.” I shook my head negatively. We all laughed. Frankie, too. At least up in the front rows, it was jovial and intimate. The party was on. Sinatra was playing to the crowd. His crowd.

Thirty-seven years later, it was Frank and Lindy and me.

Frank mentioned Gardner that night as well. There had been recent reports in the papers and scandal rags that Sinatra had been paying her medical bills since she had suffered a stroke two years earlier.

“Join me,” he said, “in sending your best wishes to Ava Gardner … I know she’d appreciate it.” There was a reverent round of applause. Gardner was part of the Sinatra canon.

My mother reached over and kissed me. “Thank you, darling,” she said. “I had a wonderful time.”

Whatever ghosts we were chasing had smiled on us.

had been meaning to write this story for many years, even decades, and finally, this past December, had scheduled a publication date for some time around Valentine’s Day. I began gathering my notes and photographs, newspaper clippings, anticipating that my mother, then seven months into her 99th year, still quite healthy and vibrant, would be alive when it was published.

Life, however, rarely goes as planned. A few days after Christmas, she took ill, and she died ever so peacefully in her sleep, her last words to me being “I love you.”

Last week, as I was going through some drawers, I came across a stash of letters that I had salvaged from the trash can when my father had left our family in the early 1970s.

They were love letters, more than 50 of them, written by my mother to him, mostly in 1949 after they had first met, but they carried on intermittently into 1951, a few months before they married.

I had my guard up while reading them, but there was nothing, really, that I couldn’t handle. What I noticed was that my mother, as I noted, 10 years my dad’s senior, took on something of a motherly tone. As with everything my mom did, the letters were decidedly upbeat and positive, though into deep waters they did not tread.

While she avoided those depths, I was to discover later in life that she was more than capable of traversing them. Even the rapid deaths they absorbed together during the period—three parents and a sibling—were skimmed over quickly. On more than one occasion my mother urged my father to “keep your chin up, darling.”

The letters clearly reveal that my mother had fallen in love with my father soon after they had met in the summer of 1949. Sometimes she wrote him three or four times a week. She longed to be with him. She pleaded with him to write, to call, to visit. She signed them all, with little variation, “Well, Frank, must close and till then—I miss you so much— Love, Lindy.”

I recall the Delmore Schwartz short story as I read them, and I sometimes break down as I stumble over a phrase or an expression. But I don’t have the urge to scream out at my mother, to admonish her, “Don’t you know what you are doing?”

Lindy knew what she was doing. She was pursuing the arc of love as best she knew how. She just didn’t know how quickly it would all end. Lindy, like the rest of us, had placed her bet on the roulette wheel of life.

The letters are painful at times, but also joyful and fun and, for the most part, my mother’s overriding optimism is present on nearly every page. I’m glad I deterred my old man’s intentions with the letters and contributed them to the archeology of love. Some day I’ll give them to one of her grandchildren.

Lindy may not have been lucky in romance, but at the end of her life she was surrounded by those that loved her—grandchildren, family and friends.

LOCAL LOVE Lindy and Frank Dunn's courtship took place on the Santa Cruz

waterfront. Here they are on the Pleasure Pier in August, 1949.

<30 January at Pacific Gardens Chapel, my daughter Tess sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” to conclude the service. It’s not a song that Sinatra ever sang or recorded, but perhaps he should have. Tess accompanied herself brilliantly on a grand piano and her voice and music filled the chapel.

Maybe there’s a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you It’s not a cry that you hear at night It’s not someone who’s seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah …

My mom loved Tess’ version of the song, always joining in the choruses with spirited vocals of “Hallelujah.”

At the service, everyone joined in.

It was a perfect denouement to the afternoon.

I’ve thought about it a lot since that day: Sinatra, Gardner and my old man may have spent their lives shooting others in love, but the draw of my mother’s bow was longer, steadier, truer to its mark, than theirs. Lindy gleaned different lessons from love, and, in the end, levied different expectations and accepted different rewards. She never figured it for a duel.

In Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken characters with a huge age gap and built a romance between them. How did you do it?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a careful balancing act. Fans love that side of their relationship, but the references have to be obliqueâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;him touching her fingers or brushing her hairâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;because these stories are told by a woman in her 80s. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not someone who talks about things that take place behind closed doors, so romantic episodes have to be slipped in between the lines, sub-rosa, as if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving away. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there for those who want to see it.

Is her reserve a reflection of her times?

To some degree, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also her personality. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a young woman during the 1920s, and those were wild and crazy times. When it comes to her partnership with Sherlock, she feels that people should be most interested in the workings of their minds, not their hearts, and their minds work very similarly.

Did the journey from friendship to marriage come naturally or by design,

to simplify work and travel?

A bit of both. Initially, I wrote Holmes as a supporting actor, but after a few books I became interested in his development as a character, and the development of his relationship with Mary. She reflects him, but definitely has her own nature, and the reader starts to see how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing him.

This is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expected, that an egotistical, intellectual Victorian male, who believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right in every way, starts to shift his view of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and even himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because of her. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very romantic.

Tell me more about their romance.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the way their partnership deepens. They become involved in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives in all ways.

Partnership to them is a very active term. Sherlock Holmes says, in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Moor,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look around for a woman with brains and spirit. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be bored.â&#x20AC;? Mary Russell would agree, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key to their relationship.

They grow into marriage, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re primarily partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in spirit, in mind, in art.

What can modern couples learn from them?

An odd assumption, especially on the part of young women, is that one person in a relationship decides the course the couple will takeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we are interested in art, we are travelers, etc.

When partners know who they are as individuals, it makes for a stronger relationship. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that Mary Russell has a strong sense of self.

APOCALYPSE NOW Bridget Henry and Jared Roth with their ‘Broken Halos’ exhibit at Felix Kulpa Gallery. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Nature Reclaimed

I

t’s 2305 and the earth has been sucked dry. No oil, no ice caps, no West Coast, no ozone layer.

That’s the kind of landscape Bridget Henry and her collaborator Jared Roth imagined when creating the large-scale tree installation in Felix Kulpa’s “Broken Halos” exhibit, which opened Feb. 6.

Built from reclaimed castoffs the two scavenged in the dumps of Bodie, California—bottles, light bulbs and cans—the installation includes a found-wood tree mounted to the gallery wall, which overlooks a “postapocalyptic trash-built village on stilts.”

“The idea is that the future looks like the past,” says Henry. “It’s kind

of this push-pull between the human thumbprint and nature’s ability to overcome when the thumbprint gets pressed down too hard.”

When the earth is barren and blank, the only place left for humanity to turn is back to nature, she says—the houses on stilts reach toward the tree as the last resort.

“There’s a finite number of resources that we can scrape out of the ground, and once they’ve been taken out, we’re going to have to look to what we already have,” says Henry. “We can’t just keep creating new things.”

But the artists behind “Broken Halos” know that simply recognizing the environmental ramifications of limited resources and climate change

does not solve the problem.

“I’m not pure myself—I drive around, I take planes, I turn on the lights—I do all these things, so I’m not interested in a soapbox type of exhibit,” says Henry. “I’m interested in how we choose to walk that line, between the consciousness of the cost of our lives and thinking about the future.”

Henry and Roth were inspired to explore that line after trips to Bodie, now famous for being a “ghost town” near the Nevada border. What was in 1877 a booming gold mine is now an eerie, abandoned remnant of the bygone “Wild West.”

“People rushed in to take as much as they could from the ground and

‘Broken Halos’ explores a post-apocalyptic future, with an eye to the past BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

when it was gone, they left, and for a while there was just garbage everywhere—bottles, cans, books, quilts, everything that people needed to live,” says Henry.

“Now people go there and romanticize this era as being the ‘Wild West’ as if it was almost like ‘the good life,’ but when you scratch a little bit at the surface you realize it was really rough and really hard and people weren’t very kind to each other—it was very dirty, ugly violent, racist, sexist,” she says.

But, there are two sides to every coin, says Henry’s collaborator, even when it comes to sustainable living.

“We’re interested in the angel and the devil in things, in life—the mixing of the two,” Roth says.

“Bodie was the epitome of greed and environmental exploitation … but now it’s totally quiet and beautiful. I think that marriage is kind of an example of what we’re interested in—typically there’s hero in the villain and villain in the hero.”

“Broken Halos” also features work by Dave Gardner and Whitney Humphreys, who build off a similar environmental theme.

Humphreys, a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate and artist, says that it’s always easiest to ignore the cautionary tales.

“A lot of things that the masters of science fiction predicted, like George Orwell and Ray Bradbury, they all predicted a lot of things that are going on right now—simple things like technology for the sake of technology, but it being detrimental to our health and our environment,” says Humphreys.

Humphreys stripped down an old newspaper stand and hand-printed some 50-something newspapers with original articles commenting on the current state of the environment in a satirical pre-apocalyptic world.

“Our footprint, the way we mow through this planet—that is very destructive,” adds Roth. “I think that in some ways that’s the devil in us.”

MUSIC

EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE FARM The husband and wife duo behind Over the Rhine make music

out of their farmhouse, ‘Nowhere Farm,’ in Ohio. They play the Rio on Sunday, Feb. 15.

Music From Nowhere

F

or Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist, Over the Rhine isn’t just a band name, it’s a claim staked on their homeland. Most people assume it’s a reference to the Rhine River in Germany, but in fact the husbandand-wife folk duo adopted the name of the Over-the-Rhine arts district in Cincinnati. (Although, to be fair, the neighborhood was named in the 19th century by German immigrants, who were indeed referencing their native country.)

That was 25 years ago, after which the Ohio-born couple bought a house in the same district, and had what

Detweiler calls “a great chapter in the city.” Finally, a longing for a piece of earth they could call home drew them to a pre-Civil-War-era farmhouse.

“Ten years ago, we found this ramshackle barn on a backroad,” Detweiler says. “Without really knowing what we were doing, we packed up our bags and moved an hour outside the city into the rolling fields.”

The image I have of the couple in their farmhouse—which they’ve lovingly named Nowhere Farm—is them surrounded by old instruments, in this fantastic old house, making music all day. Detweiler laughs and

says there are times when the days don’t leave a lot of time for making music, but there are other times that it’s front and center in their lives.

“We do leave instruments lying around,” he says, “and we have made pretty good bits of records in that old house. Sometimes we’ve thought about the people that were walking around in those rooms 100-some years ago, and wonder what life must have been like for them.”

In the spirit of Levon Helm’s musical rambles in Woodstock, the couple is renovating a 140-year old barn on their property into a performing arts venue. That way,

Over the Rhine find their greatest musical adventure right in their backyard BY CAT JOHNSON

they can stay home and still perform and host other artists.

Detweiler admits that the project is “a little terrifying at times,” but that, as singer-songwriter-producer Joe Henry told him, anything worth doing will occasionally wake you up at 2 a.m.

Henry, who is a close friend, was at the helm for the recording of Over the Rhine’s latest album, Meet Me At The Edge Of The World. Detweiler says working with Henry is an exercise in trusting the music, the band, and the moment.

“Making records at Joe Henry’s house is all about surrendering your expectations at the door,” he says. “Joe likes to capture something. We don’t have a lot of preconceived notions about what the records are going to sound like going in—we have to make the record in order to find out.”

He explains that for Bergquist and him, being on the road all the time isn’t sustainable. They’ve been on the road for 25 years, without taking a year off, and it’s taking a toll.

Now that the two have settled into life on the farm, their next plan is to get fans and music lovers to come to them.

“One question people ask us is, ‘What must I do to become famous?’”

Detweiler says. “But with the desire for fame or recognition, you can really open yourself up to destructive forces, within and without. Another question you can ask is, ‘What must I do to make this sustainable over the course of a long haul?’”

One of the standout tracks on the new album is “Earthbound Love Song,” a tribute to the love between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. One of the lines is, “Some questions can’t be answered / Like who’s going to bury who.” It’s the kind of phrase that stops you in your tracks.

When asked about the lyric, Detweiler says he and Bergquist are old enough now that they’ve buried loved ones, and that there’s something wildly unpredictable and precious about life and death.

“It’s just part of the picture now,” he says. “Hopefully it brings us more fully into the present, which is really all that we have access to.”

FRIDAY 2/13 FASHIONTEENS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FashionTeens Santa Cruz is now calling for applications from middle and high school students in the county. Their fashion designs will be up for possible selection to the FashionTeens show in April. Every year, the talented young people of Santa Cruz are invited to strut their stuff on the Civic Auditorium’s stage in a swath of creative local designs. Last year’s event included 156 students modeling, designing or both. Students are encouraged to design outfits from recycled materials or items not usually associated with clothing—the bigger, bolder and crazier, the better. The deadline for applications is Feb. 13.

In conjunction with the “Aqui Estamos” (“We Are Here”) exhibit at the Cabrillo Gallery, which opened Feb. 7, the gallery hosts an artists’ lecture this Wednesday, as well as a screening of the film A Life of Engagement—following the life of Eduardo Carrillo, who taught and worked in Santa Cruz as an American artist. “Eduardo Carrillo: We Are Here” features 13 local artists with a shared Mexican-American experience who have created artistic pieces ranging from pop culture imagery to abstract work. The exhibit and the film channel the struggles of first-generation Americans, and the balancing act it sometimes takes to maintain roots and feel accepted in a new country.

Valentine’s Day chocolates are great and all, but the cavities and diabetes that follow aren’t. Too harsh? Maybe, but at the very least the Heirloom Seed Festival is offering a healthy and fun alternative with their semi-annual seed swap. David Blume of Whiskey Hill Farms will discuss the latest organic farming and gardening techniques. There’ll be every kind of seed imaginable: 30 varieties of open-pollinated seeds, organic and local family heirloom and garden-saved seeds, plus 57 heirloom varieties of Seed Saver Exchange vegetable and herb seeds from Santa Cruz Heirloom Seed. Joined by John Michael playing Celtic and Bluegrass music, the event is also a fundraiser for the Santa Cruz County Fair Agriculture/Horticulture Department, which works to promote youth education in gardening and farming.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SHARKANOID

Let’s start with the most obvious question about Dan Potthast’s new band, Sharkanoid: why are there no sharks on the cover of their debut LP, Have a Great Summer? Instead, there’s a cartoon drawing of a torn-out high school yearbook page.

But actually, the yearbook image is apt, because it relates to the concept that inspired the project. Potthast (known for ska groups MU330 and Dan P and the Bricks) and Michigan’s Rick Johnson (from Grand Rapids’ ska gang Mustard Plug) had been close buddies for years.

They originally had an idea for a fun collaborative songwriting project in which they’d take pictures from their yearbooks and write songs about the people they didn’t know.

FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

They thought it might be a good idea for a short EP, so the two musicians emailed tunes back and forth to each other, and eventually had enough for a full-length album. Despite both members’ vast ska resumes, the Sharkanoid songs came out as high-energy rock ’n’ roll tunes.

52

“There’s no limitations, there’s no parameters set. The songs just came out how they came out. That was the sound of the band,” says Potthast. “It’s just kind of a creative process of letting it fly and not worrying about it.”

The two-some have already started working on a second LP, with a potential seven-inch in the mix. They’ve even got some tours lined up, with various drummers and second guitarists.

“I hadn’t really expected to tour much on it, but we’re both in a position where we’re available to do that. It may actually be a full-fledged touring band,” Potthast says. “Is it a project or a band? I don’t know what qualifies as a band. We put out records and we tour. Is that a project?

I don’t know what it is.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

THE SAM CHASE

THURSDAY 2/12 HOT JAZZ

POST STREET RHYTHM PEDDLERS Wrapping their music around many of the experiences that make life such a roller coaster— love, hardships, searching for the meaning of life while also enjoying the here and now—the Peddlers’ lively New Orleans jazz-inspired sound will make you feel like you’re in a prohibition era speakeasy club.

BRIAN PALMER

INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994

FRIDAY 2/13 AMERICANA

THE SAM CHASE Sweat is pouring and bodies are flying as the band works the crowd into a collective frenzy. Feels like you’re at a punk show, or rock concert, but up on the stage is a little

indie-folk/Americana outfit named the Sam Chase, and they are getting it done. Led by the songwriter/ frontman of the same name, the band is a favorite in their native San Francisco, which is not surprising considering its skilled musicians and catchy songs. But the thing that really sets the Sam Chase apart from the pack of indie-folksters is a full-throttle, unpretentious, collaborative drive to get a story or idea across through music. Chase sings as though his pants are on fire, spreading messages of freedom, wild abandon, and the joys of hard-living.

CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS Led by Polish-born singer, guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynski, the California Honeydrops have been

Playing soul-stirring, roof-raising, New Orleans-style R&B and blues, the band got its start busking in the BART stations in Oakland. These days, they’re regulars on the festival circuit, and even played the worldfamous New Orleans Jazz Fest. If high-energy, washboard-and-gutbucket grooves are your thing, don't miss the Honeydrops.

SATURDAY 2/14 REGGAE

PROTOJE Here in the states, reggae has stayed popular since Americans first caught wind of it. But in Jamaica, it’s dancehall that’s reigned supreme over the past couple of decades. However, they are seeing the beginnings of a roots-reggae revival. One of the leading young voices is Protoje, whose mother was

CELTIC FIDDLE FEST No, this isn’t a Celtic fiddle festival, it’s the name of a group—four fiddle players who are some of the best players in the world. The members hail from Ireland, Brittany, Quebec and France, and bring a lot of history and tradition, as well as their own distinct sound, to the music. They typically open with each musician doing a short solo performance to demonstrate their unique style— which enhances the experience of seeing them all play together.

TUESDAY 2/17 NOUVEAU FLAMENCO

OTTMAR LIEBERT Guitar master Ottmar Liebert plays easy-to-listen-to music that generally gets tossed into the New Age category. But Liebert prefers the term “nouveau flamenco” to describe his fusion of flamenco, classical, jazz, and international music. Over the last two decades, he and his longtime band, Luna Negra, have racked up an abundance of awards and a fan base that spans the globe.

Liebert’s latest album, three-of-five, extends the reach of his fusion even further, pulling in elements from funk, R&B, rock, and pop. CJ

FILM

BUT EVEN HIS ANTI-GRAVITY BOOTS COULDN’T GET THEM OUT OF THE MOVIE Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum

in ‘Jupiter Ascending.’

FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Failure to Launch

58

Over-amped, underwritten 'Jupiter Ascending' never gets off the ground BY LISA JENSEN

S

o, Ned Stark and Stephen Hawking walk into an exploding spaceship ... OK, not exactly, but doesn’t a sci-fi action adventure with featured performances by Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne sound like fun? Especially when it’s put together by dynamic duo Lana and Andy Wachowski, the filmmaking siblings who made the Matrix trilogy and Cloud Atlas.

Shouldn’t viewers at least have the right to expect some cool, silly, eyepopping fun?

But, alas, such expectations are not met in Jupiter Ascending. Not by a long shot, an incredible disappointment considering all the talent involved.

Extreme visuals, check. Complicated storyline unfolding in separate realms, check. Slick modes of transportation (like anti-gravity boots and cloaked ships that dissolve in and out of the air), check.

But here’s the problem: who cares?

Clearly, what gave Cloud Atlas (flawed as it was) its lingering soulfulness was the time-traveling story of humanity on a quest to understand itself, which came straight from its source material, the David Mitchell novel. Left to their own devices, once again acting as their own scriptwriters, the Wachowskis concoct nothing but chaos.

The quest at the heart of this movie reads more like a typical Young

Adult fantasy novel. A modern young woman named Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), born “without a country,” at sea, to an immigrant Russian mother (Maria Doyle Kennedy), is marginally employed, with most of the rest of her family cleaning the houses of rich people in Chicago. Until the day some gnarly aliens try to kill her, except she’s rescued by Caine (Channing Tatum), a hunky, genetically engineered hybrid (part-humanoid, part wolf), called a “splice.”

Turns out her genetic make-up qualifies her for a cosmic inheritance, and she’s whisked off to a fabulous palace in some alien otherworld to claim it. It also puts her in opposition

to the three royal Abrasax siblings who will stop at nothing to gain her birthright—charming Kalique (Tuppence Middleton), who tries to befriend the bewildered Jupiter; her pretty brother, Titus (Douglas Booth), who tries to woo her; and their scheming brother, Balem (Redmayne, all precise, purring menace), who means to have his way, at any cost.

Meanwhile, Caine enlists the aid of his old compatriot, Stinger (Bean), now stranded on Earth, to help him protect Jupiter. It’s the kind of movie where you can tell these guys are old pals with a lot of history by the way they try to beat each other to a pulp— interminably —as soon as they lay eyes on each other again. (It’s also the kind of movie where a young woman who cleans toilets for a living goes to work every day with perfect eye makeup. Hey, didn’t I say it was YA?) The story might be serviceable enough (The Princess Diaries in outer space?), except the Wachowskis don’t do anything interesting with it.

It’s just a vehicle on which to hang boring, repetitive special effects, shootouts, and lots of stuff blowing up, none of which the viewer has any emotional investment in. The sight of Caine zipping around in mid-air, skateboarder-like, his glowing boots leaving a vapor trail behind him, is really cool the first time, but used over and over again, it just becomes an effect.

Tatum, in slightly pointed ears, does a nice job of conveying Cain e’s wolfish instincts, like a trace of throaty growl when he senses danger. (But they could have done more with him as a romantic lead besides a smitten Jupiter telling him she’s always loved dogs.) The Wachowskis do have fun with alien bureaucracy in one comic sequence. And there is one very cool image in almost the last frame of the film that only makes us wish the Wachowskis had taken the time to devise a story worth telling.

JUPITER ASCENDING ** (out of four) With Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, and Eddie Redmayne. Written and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski. A Warner Bros. release. Rated PG-13. 127 minutes.

FILM

WHERE IS MY MIND? Julianne Moore plays a linguistics professor slowly succumbing to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Brave

J

ulianne Moore seems vouchsafed for the Oscar at last after four losses. This petite, lucid actress, of great plasticity and even greater bravery, is one of the five or 10 reasons that the movies are worth attending. It’s about time she was going where she’s going—if one could only be happier about the vehicle she was travelling in.

In Still Alice Moore plays a woman swallowed up by early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, in what is very much the awareness-raising drama by previously risk-taking directors Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, of The Last of Robin Hood. It was made under constraint—

and given the short filming time, the changes Moore goes through are remarkable. Moore acts out the gradual emptying out of a personality into grey, sad slackness.

As per the old saying that a fall off a cliff is more interesting than a fall off a cushion, the best-seller “Still Alice” was based upon wrenches up the tragedy. Alice has everything— she’s a New York linguistics professor losing her vocabulary (pang!) The film places a particular emphasis on her devotion to running: is this just to show us Moore in motion? Is it to show us she’s a fighter? If Alice were as sedentary as a lot of professors are, would she sort of deserve Alzheimer’s?

Alice’s husband is a physician for no good reason except that women in best-selling novels are married to doctors. He’s played by Alec Baldwin, who chose a really unfortunate time and place to return to drama. If Moore tears at us by the slow process of a personality being emptied in front of us, Baldwin has to empty himself of all traces of humor. We get the devilish temptation to snicker, seeing that well-fed and cynical face reacting to the tragedy.

It’s hardly the capstone to Moore’s work. Consider just some of it: the allergic-to-everything Ms. White in Todd Haynes’ Safe—the structural critique of disease-of-

STILL ALICE With Julianne Moore, Kristen Stewart, and Alec Baldwin. Written by Wash Westermoreland and Richard Glatzer. PG-13; 101 min.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | FEBRUARY 11-17, 2015

Julianne Moore is good in ‘Still Alice,’ but she’s been so much better BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

the-week genre that should have killed Still Alice before it was born.

One of Moore’s first important roles, in Robert Altman’s Short Cuts, is a lesson on how much impact semi-nudity can have. Whatever you think about the way Altman tended to expose his actresses, Moore, half-dressed in her segment, wasn’t prurient unless pure female contempt turns you on. She was a wife so angry she didn’t care how she was attired. She slapped down a needling husband (Matthew Modine), one of those petty men who learn nothing and forget nothing. In The Big Lebowski, Moore showed the nasty side of screwball that sensitive people always complain about, when she joins in with the jackal-like cackling of the German nihilists. One cherishes that boarding school lockjaw accent she put on the word “thorough.”

Few saw Moore in her husband Bart Freundlich’s film World Traveler and fewer liked it. But she was something to see in a small part: Moore was a deranged piece of flotsam in a small town.

Moore has handled horror with her typical dexterity—in a fugue state observing a gourmet meal of brains in Hannibal. Her coolness in the role belies Dr. Lecter’s cheap Freudian idea that Clarice Starling is still bollixed up about her dead father.

She was far more terrifying, though, as the suicidal mother in The Hours.

Speaking of that part, has there ever been a heterosexual actress who has played lesbian so many times, from The Kids Are All Right to Chloe?

You hear that actresses are nervous about their image, but this seems to be one of the many things that fails to intimidate Moore.

A good Moore retrospective would reveal so much more than Still Alice, which at least sends you back to the best drama about Alzheimer’s, Away from Her. If Julianne Moore gets the gold for it, so be it, but it’s like watching Jascha Heifetz take out his violin to perform “Pop Goes the Weasel.”

FILM NEW THIS WEEK FIFTY SHADES OF GREY You may not have read the E.L. James book, but you’ve definitely heard of the steamy bestseller about an innocent young secretary and the hunky but troubled new boss who asks for a few services outside her job description. Fun fact: the book was originally written as fan fiction based on the Twilight series.

Just sayin.’Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson star for director Sam TaylorJohnson (Nowhere Boy). (R) 125 minutes. Starts Friday.

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The comic book The Secret Service is the inspiration for this tongue-in-cheek spy spoof adventure in which a slick op and his team groom a young street kid into a master spy. Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Jack Davenport, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mark Strong star with newcomer Taron Egerton. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) directs. (R) 129 minutes.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited to join us Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. in downtown Santa Cruz, where each week we discuss a different current release. For our location and discussion topic, please visit our Google Groups webpage: https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM

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) 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) JUPITER ASCENDING Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 127 minutes. (**)—Lisa Jensen.

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 live-action 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! Live-Action: (Not rated) 117 minutes. Animated: 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. (Not rated) 77 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

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. (PG13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

SEVENTH SON Ben Barnes stars in this fantasy adventure as a young farmhand plucked from his quiet life by a mystical warrior (Jeff Bridges), who recruits him to lead a crusade against an evil queen (Julianne Moore). Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, and Djimon Hounsou co-star for director Sergei Bodrov. Based on the book series by Joseph Delaney. (PG-13) 102 minutes.

THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER The genial invertebrate hero of kid’s TV emerges from the ocean with his pals to become superheroes on dry land in this second movie outing.

Tom Kenny reprises the voice of SpongeBob. Antonio Banderas is the voice of his new pirate nemesis. Paul Tibbitt directs.

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. But the movie does go somewhere interesting at last, even if it takes awhile to get there, in this thoughtful, life-sized drama from Belgian filmmaking brothers JeanPierre and Luc Dardenne. (PG-13) 95 minutes. (In French with English subtitles.) (***)—Lisa Jensen.

SONG OF THE SEA Tomm Moore’s previous animated film was the gorgeous The Secret of Kells, based on the famed illuminated manuscript. Now he digs deep into Celtic folklore again for an original selkie tale about the last sealchild and her quest to save the magical world. Brendan Gleeson and Fionnula Flanagan lead the voice cast. (PG) 93 minutes. Starts Friday.

on corn-fed Middle America as if she’s just swirled out of a tornado from Oz. Mitchell directs this 2001 film adaptation of his off-Broadway rock musical that became a huge cult hit; he’s terrific as the multi-faceted Hedwig, and sings up a storm. Polished and punchy, Hedwig rocks. (R) 91 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen. Fri-Sat midnight only. At the Del Mar.

Discretion Brewery’s menu offers inventive fair in an Old World pub atmosphere BY CHRISTINA WATERS

W

hen I realized that chef Santos Majano had once taken a turn in the kitchen at Artisan in Paso Robles, many things came into focus. Artisan is the top restaurant in its region, savvy about innovatively spiced, assertively combined ingredients. Well, Majano brought some of that background first to Soif Wine Bar, where he served as executive chef for five years, and now to the off-thebeaten-track Tap Room at Discretion Brewery.

The word “exciting” barely covers the flavor action Majano has brought

to this tiny kitchen with his marriage of Old World pub atmosphere and the top level of California culinary creativity. Here is a menu that truly embraces robust artisanal beer. And, I’ve run into Majano at the farmers market, so I know he’s sourcing only the very organic and seasonal. An airy blend of workingman rustic and sleek industrial, the interior of the Tap Room offers a nifty view of the exhibition brewery behind the glass backbar. Long wooden refectory surfaces blend with vintage Formicatopped kitchen tables. Poured concrete and metal siding form the high walls, and a side patio with seating overlooks

the spacious parking lot.

Majano’s chalkboard menu calls for attention, starting with a spin on the Ploughman’s lunch involving cheddar, crostini, pickles and boiled eggs—with designer orange marmalade—for 10 bucks. But my eyes locked onto the items featuring pork belly—a bowl of dashi loaded with slabs of braised bacon, fried egg, chimichurri, and pickles—for eight dollars! My companion went for the beer-braised pork belly sliders with purple slaw and pickled onions ($9). At midday, I opted for a 3-ounce tasting pour ($2) of the splendid Holler ale, sharp and bright

with a nutty caramel finish that receded into that sacred sour flavor that makes beer so utterly its own thing. Jack was just fine with his 10-ounce Wisdom Wheat beer ($4)— light, earthy, unfiltered. Everything a wheat beer should be. The low hum of camaraderie hugged the front bar as we sipped beer and listened to ’80s pop classics trending a nice hit of nostalgia.

We just weren’t prepared for how gorgeous the dishes were.

Continuing the focus on real materials, my dashi arrived in a large hand-friendly white bowl topped with ribbons of freshly made pickles, cilantro leaves, and a dusting of white coriander blossoms.

A dollop of pea-green chimichurri topped the large fried egg inside the intensely bonito-flavored dashi. My spoon swirled the Argentine sauce — a brilliant puree of oregano, garlic, fresh parsley, probably cilantro, and red pepper flakes—into the broth.

Argentine/Japanese fusion—at a micro-brewery! This is why I live in Santa Cruz!

Over on my partner's side of the table, those fat little sliders, which arrived in a warm cast-iron pan, were disappearing. Quickly.

So I made my move, reaching over a who’s who of handmade squash pickles, into a bite overflowing with rich shredded pork, purple shredded cabbage, pickled onions, and the whole thing pulled together with the hot-sweet of honey mustard.

Did I mention that this food was positively spot on with the beer? I only wished I had a few more folks with me to sample the pozole (yes, with pork belly), or the chicken and waffles, or maybe the lamb ragu with housemade pappardelle, roasted fennel, toasted pecans, and chevre. Are you completely mad with desire for this food yet? The Tap Room has thoughtfully added a line-up of student budget-friendly “snacks” like Spanish chorizo, roasted potatoes, garlic noodles with Parmesan and bread crumbs (enlightened mac and cheese), $5 each. Just get over there!

hen some friends invited me and my husband to a dinner of “gourmet food,” and mentioned that they had just brought back some foie gras from France, I decided to take along an earthy Chesebro 2011 Pinot Noir ($23) to pair with the special treat. Six of us made short work of this Pinot, and the worthy wine (it won a silver at this year’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition) matched up well with the silky smooth pâté.

Made from grapes grown in Cedar Lane Vineyard in the Arroyo Seco AVA, its classic aroma of red fruit and earth, along with its velvety texture, make for a delicious palate-pleasing starter. The 2011 vintage has some lighter elements, such as cranberry and tangy pomegranate, so it pairs quite well with hors d’oeuvres.

An impressive main course of beef Wellington, mushroom bread pudding and sautéed spinach, followed by “very runny” French cheese—also brought back from France, were paired with a couple of other superb locally made wines.

We finished with St. John Comandari, a sweet and fruity dessert wine from Cyprus—and my favorite Greek dessert, galaktoboureko.

(Pronounced galak-to-BOO-reko)/ Mark Chesebro, winemaker and grower, is producing some beautiful wines lately. You can try them all at his delightful tasting room in Carmel Valley Village. Open Thursday through Sunday, $10 gets you six different tastings—refundable with a $40 purchase. 19 East Carmel Valley Road, Suite D, Carmel Valley, 659-2125.

oger Barnes has worked at a handful of Santa Cruz County restaurants, and owned Bocci’s Cellar for more than a decade. In fall of 2013, he opened U.S. Meal, a no-frills, “fast-casual” burger joint. Its logo is a postage stamp with a burger and fries.

Yes, all of the time people do. I’ve had people come in here with parcels: “How much does this thing cost?”

What were you going for with the name?

I like the red, white and blue. I like the fact that the logo was already there. You see the stamp with the bird and the burger.

That’s very simple.

Tell me about your upcoming mural.

The upcoming mural has been under production for six months.

Once you see it, you’ll understand

why it’s hard for me to explain.

There’s a tree in it with bacon (pointing at postage stamp logo), with that bird sitting on top. It’s farm land. Rows of hamburgers—it looks like the hamburgers are growing out of the ground.

What made you decide to put grilled cheese on the menu?

I’ll tell you something. Kids like grilled cheese. And initially, I tried to make it with that real, nice cheddar. They said, ‘Mom, this doesn’t taste like grilled cheese.’

That American cheese melts nicely, and it’s really, really, really popular with little kids. My grilled cheese tastes like that grilled cheese your mom used to give you with the tomato soup. You thought she was the greatest cook there is. She probably is, though.

Any plans to serve tomato soup?

That’s next. I sell a lot of soup when it’s raining, but it hasn’t been raining. We’ll probably have some next week.

3 RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES AVATARS, PRESIDENTS, VALENTINES, ASHES, LENT AND A NEW MOON This is our last week of Aquarius (world server).

Next week (Wednesday) the sun enters Pisces (world savior). Note the different esoteric tasks.

Although it’s being denied, past structures of reality continue breaking down and dissolving. As this occurs, new revelatory (Uranus) alternatives will slowly be revealed (Aquarius). The breakdown is Ray 6 (Piscean Age, beliefs) withdrawing. New information/archetypes for the Aquarian Age (Ray 7) and new technologies (Ray 5, Venus) streaming in provide understanding, hope and beauty to the breakdown.

Thursday, Feb. 12, is Abraham Lincoln’s 206th birthday. Lincoln was an avatar (esoteric definition).

The word avatar means “from far away.” An avatar’s appearance signifies new principles, laws, energies released to our world. Avatars, through their actions, “strike a note,” and offer new teachings that express future cycles of development that bring forth a new age and civilization. Avatars embody great truths toward which the masses must work

(to fulfill). Buddha and Christ were avatars.

The presence of avatars are called into being from the very heart of humanity. When great needs occur, the heart of humanity yearns (prays) for that need to be filled. Lincoln represented humanity’s need for freedom. And freedom, yet unrealized, still constitutes an objective in our world.

Saturday is Valentine’s Day. What to give?

Something alive (rose bush), organic/fair trade (chocolate). Things self-made … chocolate, caramel sauce, ice cream, cards. Monday commemorates Lincoln and Washington’s birthdays.

Tuesday, is Mardi Gras. Wednesday is the Aquarius new moon. The sun entering Pisces (sacrifice), Ash Wednesday (first day of Lent).

With ashes placed on our foreheads we hear the words, “From dust thou (the personality) are, and unto dust thou shalt return.” Lent … forty days and nights of fasting, purifying and preparing for the Three Spring Festivals Fasting is good. After forty days and nights, habits disappear.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The message is clear. Groups calling you. You’re being pulled, pushed, attracted, magnetized or simply swept into a group needing your skills. Community and collaboration must become part of your knowledge base; these successfully expand your endeavors. Study collaborative learning. You’re to become cause-oriented, impersonal and humanitarian.

You decentralize—from person to transpersonal.

The ancient wisdom teachings tell us to stand in the sun, especially at dawn and dusk, and, with focused intention, absorb the light and heart of the sun into our hearts. You are to begin this practice. From the sun’s heart to your heart, love then flows, becoming wisdom. Instead of reflecting others’ light you become a source of light. One with an intelligent heart and a loving mind. You then live in the heart of all that matters.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Your purpose is bridging energy and form, maintaining forms in matter that create sustainability for humanity.

You’re attempting to anchor ideas that create new resources needed for the times to come. Resources (understanding Venus) are to be used differently now. No longer scattered but tended, saved (like seeds), and cherished. You are to create all the structures for this saving of resources. Build it.

You know the rest.

The chaos/conflict experience must be understood. It is actually states of creativity needed for new harmony to emerge. Be more and more in nature. It’s God’s body.

Eventually you move from desires to aspirations, and then more into sharing. Scorpio is the disciple. At first you rested in embryonic waters, then the waters of Earth. Then the Water of Life poured forth for thirsty humanity. This you will become. You’re the mother now.

GEMINI May22–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

There’s a difference between an aspirant and Disciple. The aspirant is the “experiencer” of form and matter; unreflective and unaware of others, focused only upon self (needed developmental stage). Disciples are “observers”; reflecting upon and aware of their experiences in order to serve others.

Which are you? The jungle, the clearing, or the path? What would you like to be?

You’re entering into a new state of relations, creating right human relations (results of goodwill). You sought knowledge.

Now you’re seeking deeper understanding. At first you related only to yourself, then to others. Now it’s the world.

You’re on both arms of the cross—vertical (God to Earth) and horizontal (toward humanity). The center of the cross denotes synthesis. Tossed about, then circulated by it, you’ll soon direct the wind.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Each day seems like a time of testing and/or transformation.

It’s a stage of regeneration actually. Hidden within regeneration is resurrection. You may not know this yet, for much of you hides under your shell with intermittent soaring in the air. Do you see or dream of birds (messengers)? What hurts is healing. Then you become the healer. All relationships at this time may bring you to your knees. Pray there.

In coming weeks you’ll attempt to resolve some sort of conflict. At first, conflict simply appears. Know that to achieve a new state of harmony, conflict must exist. It provides dissolution, information, creates tension, calls us “to attention.” Understanding this you can effectively work with conflict. As you struggle with the horns of conflict, the “horns of plenty” (harmony) appear.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

From imbalance comes the urge for equilibrium and balance.

From developing our individual creative gifts comes the offering of those gifts to humanity. From centralization (self only) emerges decentralization (self merged within the Group). But only when you, Leo, (developing the creative self) are ready. Out of seeing only the light of self surfaces a “light that shines over the earth and penetrates the dark. You become this Light.

Much of who you are is being replaced with who you will be.

An Aries (I am) quality is blending with your Aquarian (I serve) energies. Observe your speech. Do you say, “I am,” “I and Thou” or “we”? All are good statements. Different stages.

The light within you is a pulse, a glow and a radiance. Attempt to recognize them. Follow Libra’s information.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Judy Ziegler GRI, CRS, SRES Cornucopia Real Estate BRE # 00698255

831.334.0257 |

cornucopia.com

The inner and outer parts of your self are merging. The long process of learning discrimination has created inclusivity. As you searched for order within disorder, order then leapt out of chaos. At first you were fearful and now you’re resourceful.

You see yourself no longer imprisoned by form but that you (humanity and all the Kingdoms and the Earth itself) are actually the Divine Form, Creator made … and beautiful.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re aware Pisces is the sign of the World Savior. So let’s begin with the questions. Is your energy dispersed everywhere or service oriented? Where and what is your focus (self, humanity or planetary)? Do you act and respond personally, impersonally or trans-personally? Are you reflective and inventive? Are you an anarchist, revolutionary revealer of the Plan?” Is your movement chaotic, purposeful or rhythmic? It’s good to know these things.

BRAHYAN LOPEZ, 5-Year Customer, Capitola

Occupation: Apprentice electrician Hobbies: Being a father to my daughter, painting, biking, skating, sports Astrological Sign: Cancer Is Shopper’s your go-to market? BRAHYAN: “Yes. Quality is one of the three reasons we shop here along with the level of service and variety of products.” MARAYAM: “I like that it’s not a giant massive store and I know where everything is. I really appreciate the full-service butcher shop. If I have questions about recipes and preparation, the butchers offer suggestions and even special-cut our meats.” BRAHYAN: “They have many products I’ve never seen before like their hot sauces; for me hotter the better.” MARAYAM: “I love their cheeses and chocolates — the tea cookie selection is huge.”

What do you like to cook? MARAYAM: “Pork chops, spaghetti, stir-fries, soups, and more.

I know I can get basic items here and turn them into good meals without a great deal of difficulty. We eat salads every day, and it’s great that their produce is always fresh.”

BRAHYAN: “Before Shopper’s, I was not really into produce. That changed: I would ask questions, and the staff were helpful in finding out what I was interested in. The people are great! The second we walk in, the checkers immediately interact with us and our daughter Idrah.” MARAYAM: “She thinks she’s the queen of Shopper’s.”

How so? MARAYAM: “Idrah practically grew up here, and she has gotten to know the butchers and the checkers.” BRAHYAN: “Shopper’s has a really good feeling. The people seem like they’re happy to see us. I’ve never experienced that in another store.”

MARAYAM: “We were out of the area for a year and a half, living in the East Bay. What I really missed the most was Shopper’s Corner.

You get fresh food here as nothing sits around, and their prices are reasonable because of the volume they do.” BRAHYAN: “If you want a fun, friendly experience, Shopper’s will not disappoint.”

“Quality is one of the three reasons we shop here along with the level of service and variety of products.”
