OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Because the human brain loves patterns and symmetry, the obvious thing to do when writing about oral historians like Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain would be to do so in exactly the oral history style they popularized—no prose, no exposition, just their quotes. That was my first idea for this week’s cover story about the incredible legacy of Please Kill Me, their oral history book on punk music; how it shaped both the literary world we live in today and our understanding of music history. God knows that like hundreds of other writers since the book was published, I’ve stolen that style they laid out in Please Kill Me myself for articles about Santa Cruz music history.

But in talking to the authors, I

realized that actually wasn’t the right way to tell their story. They don’t generally give the kind of expansive answers you’ll find from a lot of interview subjects in their books.

They are extremely concise, totally to the point. Legs, in particular, can sum up a lot of things in a couple of choice words. It underlines, I think, why Please Kill Me is so much better than other oral history books that have followed in its wake: they’re better editors. And since they shape their stories entirely through editing, rather than their own narrative voices within the text, that’s the most important skill for them to have.

Though they love talking about their work, it’s mostly the people and the process that delight McNeil and McCain. I had to add the analysis of the huge impact their work has had, and I broke all their own rules in the process. I hope they find that punk.

anywhere in SC. Ended up moving from SD in 2011 because it was still too expensive to live anything other than hand-to-mouth for a desk jockey, but it was easier than trying to live in the Cruz. I miss SC. But there’s no way I’ll ever be able to live there again.

RIGHT DIRECTION

4

In “Straightening Out Downtown” (GT, 6/10), a couple historical facts were omitted.

Well before the fire department put an end to the feasibility of two-way traffic on Pacific Avenue, residents of both our main drag and neighborhoods to the west objected. Two-way vehicular traffic would result in more noise and more pollution. Neighbors collected signatures and sent them to the city council, pointing out that more traffic would be bad for pedestrians and residents alike.

Mr. Gibbs’ plan also would have decreased parking on Pacific, costing the city muchneeded funds for maintenance.

Changing the one-way direction seems OK. We need less noise and less pollution, not more. I’m glad that city leaders decided to listen to reason.

Greed. I’m wondering why this word has yet to come into the conversation. Seven years ago, we finally landed our current rental after six months of looking at a lot of crappy, overpriced, ill-kept rentals, dealing with heartless property managers, and competing with college students for these “gems.” Now things are even crazier.

When I read that landlords are evicting long-term tenants in order to sell or rent for higher, the word that first comes to mind is “greed.” I understand that landlords have to make their mortgages and a bit more. But have they no compassion for their fellow humans? Have they no shame?

PREMIUM VALUE

BANK BAN

Santa Cruz housing prices may be the worst in the country, but at least you can afford car insurance here. The city ranks seventh cheapest in the state for car insurance in a study by the personal finance website NerdWallet, with an annual premium of $881.23, which is 14.5 percent lower than the state average. The cheapest city in the state is Santa Maria at $813.19 per year. The most expensive is Glendale at $1,379.71.

After an effort by Supervisor Ryan Coonerty last week, Santa Cruz County won’t invest with the five banks that pleaded guilty to illegally manipulating the price of Euros and dollars. Citigroup, Chase, Barclays, JP Morgan and the Royal Bank of Scotland were fined $5.9 billion in May by the Justice Department for rigging trades between 2007 and 2013.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 17 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Would you like to stop pushing and struggling for a while? Is there a clenched attitude you would love to let go of? Do you wish you could take a break from having to give so much and try so hard and be so strong? Then do it! Now would be a good time to take a sabbatical from any situation that feels too demanding or frustrating.

You wouldn't incur the wrath of the gods or the twists of karma if you sneaked away to indulge in some recreational frivolity. For the foreseeable future, “relax” and “surrender” are your words of power.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Theologian Karl Barth speculated that when the angels get together to praise and honor God with music, they perform the compositions of Bach. But when they are playing for each other, they are more likely to choose Mozart. I guess that’s because Mozart’s stuff is loose and free and inventive compared to Bach, who’s formal and sober and systematic. Mozart is more for parties, while Bach is for serious occasions. I’m seeing the coming days as a time when you, like the angels, should be especially willing to express yourself in very different ways, depending on the audience.

GEMINI May21–June20 Before E. Annie Proulx became a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, she wrote a series of how-to books, including a dairy foods cookbook and an instructional text on making your own hard cider. But the manual of hers that I especially want to call your attention to right now is Plan and Make Your Own Fences & Gates, Walkways, Walls & Drives. It might be inspirational for you to read it. You’re in a phase when it makes perfect sense to create new paths for yourself to travel on. This will allow you to forgo at least some of the paths that others have built and that can't actually take you where you need to go.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 I’m getting itchy to see you blow your own cover. I would love you to come all the way out of your hiding place, even if just for a while, and see what happens if you make full disclosures and brave displays. My hope is that you will close the gap between the real you and the images that people have of you. Does that sound interesting? Or have you become so fond of being a big riddle that you can’t imagine any other way to be? Maybe I can tempt you to be more self-revelatory if I add this: Taking your disguises off even briefly will enable you to discover intriguing secrets about yourself. And then once you put your disguises back on, you will seem more mysterious than ever.

A new cycle will begin for you after your birthday.

Between now and then you will be wrapping up the current cycle. I invite you to do so with a flourish. Don’t just wait around passively for the themes of the last 11 months to fade away or go to sleep. Instead, set an intention to bring them to a climactic close. Schedule a splashy graduation or a grand finale. Plan a cathartic party or a celebratory rite of passage. Take a playful leap of faith or try that magic trick you’ve been saving for the perfect moment. Or all of the above!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep,” said author Jean Kerr. “That’s deep enough.

What do you want, an adorable pancreas?” In accordance with the current astrological omens, Virgo, you should feel free to play around with that impish idea. Just for now, appreciate and enjoy the surfaces of things.

Make decisions based on first impressions and instant analyses. Give your attention and energy to what looks appealing to you, and don’t think too hard about stuff that presents a boring appearance.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Now is a favorable time to wish upon a star. In other words, you can enhance the likelihood that your wish will come true if you choose this phase of your cycle to

enlist the assistance of a higher power. It’s your duty to make sure, however, that you wish upon the right star. Pick a higher power that can truly help you with your wish, not necessarily one that has worked for other people’s wishes. Here’s another crucial detail: Be precise in formulating your wish. No foggy thinking or sloppy language allowed!

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 If you are fully committed to being both honest and kind, you will have more power to heal other people than you’ve had in a long time. You will have a resemblance to a magic potion or a wonder drug. Here’s a caveat, however: The therapeutic influence you have to offer might be scary to those who aren’t ready to be cured. The solutions you propose could be disruptive to anyone who is addicted to his or her problems. That’s why I advise you to be discerning about how you share yourself. P.S. The medicine you are generating is not too potent for your own use. It’s exactly what you need to transform limitation into liberation.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Each of us has at least one pesky ghost or nagging demon that occupies a dark corner of our psyches. It may have been there for years, or we might have picked it up more recently during a phase of temporary insanity.

In any case, most of us can benefit from conducting a periodic banishing ritual. Now would be prime time for you to do just that. Ready? With your imagination, draw a clockwise circle of your favorite-colored light on the floor or ground. Next, identify an image that makes you feel happy and safe, and visualize four versions of it at the four cardinal points, hovering three feet above your circle. Then say this: “I dissolve any hex and banish any pest that has been draining my energy. I purge any wasteful emotions, unsound ideas, and trivial desires that I may have grown attached to.” To put the seal on your magic, laugh for two minutes.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 By my estimation, 97 percent of the population is chronically starving for the pleasure of being listened to with deep empathy and focused intelligence. Very few of us enjoy the prolonged and undivided attention of a receptive ally on a regular basis. It’s rare to be in the presence of a person whose sole agenda is to be innocently curious about you. Your assignment, Capricorn, is to go on a quest to remedy this shortfall. Figure out how you can get the skillful listening you’re missing. (P.S. One way to prime the magic is to offer yourself up as a skillful listener to others.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 At this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony, British singer Sam Smith won in four categories. His tune “Stay with Me” was named Song of the Year. In one of his acceptance speeches, Smith expressed appreciation for the difficult muse who inspired the song. “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year,” he said. “Thank you so much for breaking my heart, because you got me four Grammys.” I invite you to come up with a comparable expression of gratitude, Aquarius. What experience that seemed like tough luck at the time has actually turned out to be a blessing? Now would be a perfect time to acknowledge and relish and make full use of the unexpected grace.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The Bay of Fundy is a branch of the Atlantic Ocean between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It’s renowned for its tidal range. When high tide comes, the water may be as much as 53 feet higher than what it is at low tide. The shift back and forth happens twice a day. I’m wondering if in the coming weeks your emotional ebb and flow will have a similar variability. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience both very high highs and very deep depths. Please note that when I say “depths,” I don’t mean sadness or despair. Rather, I’m talking about a profound ability to feel your way into the heart of things.

has owned land and two houses since the 1890s! Without that, we’d be out of luck, and probably move to a different state.

— BRITTANYW

I’ve lived in Santa Cruz for eight years and have never, ever had an issue finding a rental—until the past year. Every single open house is packed with dozens of eager applicants, clutching their application and $25 processing fee, elbowing their way to the property manager with unhappy grins on their faces. The desperation in the air is palpable.

And it is sad how many property managers are hustling fee-based applications under

the guise of “background checks” with no guarantee of housing.

A friend of a friend referred me to a twobedroom Scotts Valley cottage. I emailed the landlord and she quickly called me and wanted to know more about us to make sure we were the “right for her lifestyle” ... Then I mentioned my newborn son and she immediately sputtered, “um, um, um, well, wow this isn’t a great place for kids, um, um, there’s not a lot of sun, um there is no yard, um, let me talk to my husband.” I knew immediately that she had already decided.

So goes the Santa Cruz rental market, where people are all namaste about housing discrimination.

Memory 2.0 New program at Scotts Valley Library uses tech to help seniors save memories before they fade BY BRAD KAVA “One of the biggest problems with memory loss is depression,” says Dodds, who has a master’s in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. “When you lose storage and recall, people discount you. If you ask the same question several times, people think you don’t understand, even though often they do understand.”

Dodds bought her mother an iPad in 2010 and although her mother, now 90, couldn’t figure out how to do things like search or shop, Dodds found it to be an effective tool when they used it together. “It was annoying when she couldn’t figure out the functions,” says Dodds. “But then I realized it didn’t matter. We could still do wonderful things with it.”

First, Dodds noticed that her mother

was forgetting times and dates for appointments, so she programmed the tablet to alert her mother to important events—something she could do remotely, too, thanks to iCloud. Then she began finding programs that brightened her mother’s life, helping her bring back old songs, photos and family memories.

“I have research that shows that games, music, life stories, and images are important for people with memory loss, helping them do activities that are beneficial,” says Dodds. “They might not help them regain memories, but they stimulate them and keep them engaged.”

Every Monday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Scotts Valley Library, volunteer mentors guide participants through TouchTEAM’s four-part program,

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JUNE 17-23, 2015

very day 10,000 people in the United States turn 65, and more than 10 percent of them suffer memory loss. By age 85, it’s 50 percent.

“That’s a lot of memory loss,” says former local Debby Dodds, who was first inspired to find computer programs to help the forgetful when her own mother began experiencing mental decline. The experience led her to develop a bold new program to help save memories before they fade—and it’s now in full swing at Santa Cruz Library’s Scotts Valley branch.

Called the TouchTEAM (Tablet Engaged Active Minds), the program uses iPads and apps to build bridges between those who are losing precious memories and the people who care for them.

which helps to store and restore memories using apps like Google Earth to visit old neighborhoods, and SingFit to bring back old songs in a sort of personalized karaoke. Another program helps them tell stories and store pictures of their past to share with relatives and keep the memories fresh for later. Some play games like Words with Friends to stay sharp.

On a recent Monday there were a dozen people ranging in age from 60 to 93 using the iPads, and caregivers and relatives of all ages helping.

“This is the highlight of my week,” says Margie Kudrav, 71, of Aptos, who has suffered “chemo fog,” after being treated for blood cancer. She’s creating an oral and written history of her father’s work with Dr. Martin Luther King and she shares her tales at a table of four enrapt listeners.

“As I started working with tablets and memory loss, I realized what an amazing connection it was for them,” says Dodds, who is now in Spokane, Washington, where she plans to open a business called the Memory Cafe, similar to what’s being pioneered in Santa Cruz—a place where people can socialize and feel normal, despite their memory loss.

Denise Fritsch, who is in charge of recruiting and training volunteers for this and other programs at the library, says she’s inspired by the quote: “The opposite of dying is learning.”

Dodds’ success stories include a Santa Cruz surfer with Parkinson’s who found his old coach on the Internet, which resulted in the coach becoming a caregiver for him.

Another was her mother, who recently got together with her two sisters and recorded songs they sang in three-part harmonies as kids.

“Music is one of those things that is amazing for people with memory loss,” says Dodds. “On an MRI it lights up the whole brain. Tune, beat, words, it hits so many different areas and lasts far beyond people’s cognition.”

Dodds realized that these programs don’t just benefit the person with memory loss, but the families and caregivers who will work with them in the future and have digital recollections of what they were today.

“It’s so powerful that it’s almost unbelievable,” says Dodds. “It crosses the bridge and lets us see the person behind the disease.”

SLOW TRACK Santa Cruz County’s Regional Transit Committee is considering electric, diesel, and streetcars for future passenger rail—and possibly moving away from the larger, louder models like Santa Cruz’s current EMD F9 (left), belonging to Iowa Pacific. PHOTO: HOWARD COHEN

Getting on Track?

The RTC’s feasibility study maps out seven scenarios for county-wide passenger rail BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

C

rammed between a housesized pickup truck, a teen blasting Taylor Swift, and a produce truck spewing noxious fumes, driving Highway 1 can turn even the most levelheaded commuter into a road-raging Hulk. But with Highway 1 as the county’s primary—and increasingly clogged—artery, what other choices might we have?

The county’s Regional Transportation Committee (RTC) wants to revive the rail line built more than 125 years ago between Watsonville and Santa Cruz, with the hope that it might get 6,800 people off the road and onto as many as 60 round-trip trains a day. It would be cheaper and more environmentally

desirable than widening Highway 1, they say.

“Our county is constrained by the ocean and the mountains, so a lot of the development depends on the coastal shelf between those two terrain areas,” says RTC Senior Transportation Planner Karena Pushnik. “There’s congestion on Highway 1, and the purpose of the study is to get a better sense of ‘OK, we have this infrastructure, what better uses would be available on that corridor? And let’s initiate a community discussion about ridership, cost, where funds might be able to come from and how it might be operated.’”

However, critics fear that reviving rail could be way too expensive—with

possible costs of at least $176 million to build and $14 million a year to run, according to a draft feasibility study unveiled on June 4 and available in full on the RTC website. The study looked at a range of possibilities for passenger and freight rail line routes, including costs, stations and types of trains, which include electric, diesel and streetcars. Stations could run from the Westside, near UCSC, to Pajaro outside Watsonville. The study also looks at shorter routes with lower costs.

The study details seven scenarios with varying stations and stops: the shortest going from the Westside to Capitola and the longest to Pajaro, along part of the 32-mile Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Network.

For two years, Mount Hermon developers have had a vision for a new kind of adventure park in Felton—a $4 million project that includes a “magic carpet” to transport mountain bikers to the top of a hill, two lush green BMX pump tracks and a giant inflatable air bag so riders can practice tricks safely. They would also add a day camp for kids, a community garden, a science center, and an aerial ropes course—an obstacle course that uses ropes and pulleys. All of this would be adjacent to the Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center, which already operates the county’s only zipline.

But so far, the plans have hit a major bump in the track. Opponents, including the powerful San Lorenzo Women’s Club, don’t want to see anything built there, fearing that development would endanger wildlife, threaten the water supply and bring in too much traffic.

The developers planned to have the park built by now, and will continue to forge ahead despite facing environmental reviews and public hearings into the unknown future.

“It’s a little disappointing, but we are committed to the project,” says Nate Pfefferkorn, director of Adventure and Recreation Programs at Mount Hermon.

“We really feel like we are doing something that is a great development for Felton and a great opportunity for families and activities, and it will be a great place to be in San Lorenzo Valley.”

The 14.8-acre plot, which Mount Hermon bought three years ago, is adjacent to the Felton Fair Shopping Center on Graham Hill Road, which includes a Safeway and Ernie’s Service Station. It also borders the property that Mount Hermon Christian Center has owned since 1906. The meadow was owned by the South County Housing Trust, which had planned to build affordable homes there but ended up selling the property after residents shot down that proposal.

NEWS GETTING ON TRACK <11 Consultants led the feasibility study and came back to the RTC with two “preferred alternative recommendations”—one going from Santa Cruz to Aptos with seven stations and seasonal weekend service, and the other running from Santa Cruz to Seacliff, with five stations and one seasonal station at the Boardwalk. Both include stations on Bay Street, downtown Santa Cruz, and 41st Avenue, with the goal of easy access to UCSC and Cabrillo College. Ridership estimates for these shorter rail lines are from 4,700-6,400 for the first, with 60 trains going both directions per weekday, and 1,400-2,200 weekday boardings for the second option, with 36 weekday trains. The upfront capital cost for a rail line from Santa Cruz to Aptos is $85 million and for a line to Seacliff it would be $31.5 million, according to the study.

But neither of these “preferred alternative recommendations” include Watsonville, something that has generated criticism from Watsonville City Councilmember Jimmy Dutra, who says it is “quite

alarming, especially when you look at the services such as train or bus that would help out communities just like Watsonville. And especially since we have around one-third of the ridership.”

Pushnik says that the RTC recognizes the criticism, and that another round of environmental studies and engineering analysis needs to take place, as well as integrating community feedback to find their preferred alternative for a train route.

In the proposals, the longest rail line would go to Pajaro with stops on Bay Street, downtown Santa Cruz, and downtown Watsonville, with 10 stations along the way. The projected daily weekday boardings for that line are estimated to be 1,750-2,500, with upfront capital costs at $93 million, and 12 trains per day. Another proposed line ending in downtown Watsonville would have 13 stations and could have 5,000-6,800 weekday boardings. It would cost $176 million and have 60 trains per day.

It’s a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to widening Highway 1, says Pushnik, the cost of which would exceed $500 million.

“For the rail, we would be pursuing grants for the capital money, upgrades to the line, signals, bridges,” says Pushnik. “For operational money, we’d need a new local funding source, so we’d be looking at the increased sales tax being discussed in 2016 if that’s approved by voters.”

It’s unforeseen costs for upgrades and routine maintenance, which aren’t projected in the study, that make locals like Bud Colligan wary.

Colligan is the founder of South Swell Ventures and Santa Cruz Works, investment firms geared toward bringing tech companies to Santa Cruz. He’s hired his own consultant and is working with Miles Reiter of Driscoll’s to look into all possibilities for regional transportation.

The bottom line, says Colligan, is that the RTC passenger rail plan is more expensive than it needs to be.

It’s not going to cost between $77$175 million as the feasibility report proposes, he says, and it’s unlikely it’ll be operational within a decade, as the feasibility report proposes. By his estimations, the whole project would cost closer to $500-600 million.

MEASLES DEATH At the height of controversy over the California bill to require children to be vaccinated before they can enter schools, a Santa Cruz doctor told the state legislature a tragic tale of a 4-year-old patient who is dying from measles complications.

“My patient was only 5 months old when he was hospitalized with measles—too young to be immunized,” wrote Dr. Catherine Sonquist Forest, who had her letter read into the record. “By the time he was old enough for immunization, it was already too late for him. A year ago, at age 3,

he developed a rare complication of measles that will soon kill him.”

Sonquist Forest said the boy’s parents asked her to release information about the case to safeguard others.

“It is not known where or from whom my patient contracted measles. But his family and I want you to understand, in no uncertain terms, that his death will be due to a failure of our herd immunity,” she says.

SB277, which ends exceptions to vaccines for parental beliefs, has passed every legislative vote and still needs to be weighed by the Assembly and Gov. Jerry Brown. Opponents see it as an encroachment on their freedom to decide on health care, and have started recall movements against supporters, including local State Sen. Bill Monning. BRAD KAVA

Your Internet connections could get faster—way faster—if the Santa Cruz City Council moves ahead Tuesday toward building gigabit-fiber Internet systems for homes and businesses.

This isn’t about family fights over who gets their own Netflix screen, says the city’s economic development manager, J. Guevara. It’s about building an infrastructure for the future. Speed wise, your Internet connection will go from around 15 megabits per second to 1,000, he says.

“It’s big,” Guevara says. “It’s an opportunity to show Santa Cruz is serious about economic growth and doing so in a responsible way with public benefits that the community gets to share.”

The project would be a public/ private investment with local web

provider Cruzio. The goal would be to bring the fastest service into every home and business, Guevara says, bridging the gap for those who can’t afford the best service now by making it more affordable.

In some places, it can cost $1,000 a month for gigabit service. It’s $138.50 in San Francisco and San Jose. But others, such as Chattanooga, Tennessee and Portland, Oregon, recently dropped their rates to $70 a month. More important than price is the businesses it can bring in, says Guevara. With 30 million people nationwide working as freelancers on the Internet, this could attract tech workers and bring in companies that need the fastest speeds, such as those working on genetics and DNA, which burn huge amounts of bandwidth.

STILL NOT OFF THE GROUND The proposed educational adventure park in Felton would have a giant air bag so bike riders can land safely.

own it,” says Pfefferkorn. “We all know housing is needed in the county, but then the land wouldn’t be available for everyone to enjoy. They could put a shopping center there, but then there would be pavement and lights and retail.”

That’s not enough for Nancy Macy, co-chair of the San Lorenzo Valley Women’s Club’s environmental committee.

“We’re concerned that one of the main entrances to the San Lorenzo Valley will be greatly impacted by this development,” she says. “If this area is developed, it loses its ability to support the various animals. Ideally, I’d like to see the land stay undeveloped … but who wants to see big dirt piles with bike riding all over it?”

The SLV Women’s Club is also concerned

about the steelhead in the San Lorenzo River and Zayante Creek, a lack of water conservation, paving of sandhills, cutting of the riparian area for the pedestrian bridge and native grasslands on the southwest acre. They are asking for another Environmental Impact Report, saying that earlier studies were inaccurate.

“The proposed complex develops 12 acres of the 14.8-acre parcel, assuring that it will no longer provide habitat for a wide variety of animals and birds, nor rare plants,” SLV Women’s Club President Lynn McKibbin wrote to the planning department.

Pfefferkorn says many of those issues have been addressed before they proposed the project, and would be clarified in the next EIR. He says the park will give the Valley some much-needed recreational

activities and will give families a place to visit together.

Unlike other bike parks, this would be geared to beginners and intermediates with teachers who will help riders advance. It will be called Velocity Bike Park and will be designed by the Canadian firm Alpine Bike Parks, which built the Valmont Bike Park in the cycling capital of Boulder, Colorado.

It will be the first one in this part of the country to have a conveyor belt to bring mountain bike riders to the top of the hill, something that Pfefferkorn says will aid beginners who aren’t in good enough shape to ride to the top constantly.

The entry fee with bike rental and lessons could be $90, Pfefferkorn says, but he plans to keep fees comparable to other gyms and bike parks. Mount Herman charges $89-$99 for ziplining and attracts

some 30,000 users a year. The pump tracks here will be physically different than those springing up around the country.

“Most are piles of dirt with a fence around it,” says Pfefferkorn. “Ours will be beautiful. This has no fences. There are beautiful berms with native, droughtresistant plants. We want a safe place that will maximize instruction. We come to it with a different perspective. We provide programs for kids and families so they can come together and learn about themselves and their relationships.”

At least one politician has weighed in positively: “What I love about the bike park is that it is a broad-based sport for our families,” says Felton City Councilmember Stephanie Aguilar. “And I’d love the ropes course."

the right-of-way next to the trestles in Capitola and Aptos, so it’s going to have to negotiate with private property owners,” says Colligan.

“Plus unprojected costs like fencing.

There are multiple spots in the study where it says these costs are not included in projections.”

Accommodating the rail-trail proposition would also require moving the tracks in certain areas to ensure a pathway that’s at least 8 feet wide, he says. While some spots along the rail are 70 feet wide, others aren’t, and those are the areas where the RTC will have to negotiate rightof-way purchases.

In addition, Colligan points out, the plan itself says that bus transportation will likely be faster than rail and that many who don’t work directly along the corridor will have to use multiple forms of transit to get to their final destination.

“If we had a safe, wide bike path that is well-lit where we use public policy to encourage people to bike, we could take some number of those people—is it 1,000, is it 2,000, 3,000? I don’t know—off of Highway 1,” says Colligan. “Could we have the same impact with dramatically lower cost and have a cleaner, less noisy, less disruptive and probably economically vital pathway?”

Pushnik counters that when voters passed Proposition 116 in 1990—which planted the seed for the proposed passenger rail—the state made $11 million available to Santa Cruz County for rail projects which “facilitate recreational, commuter, inter-city and inter-county travel.”

The state law stipulates what qualifies as rail projects—pedestrian and bicycle pathways are not included.

One thing Colligan, Sawhill and Pushnik all agree on is that in its current form, the plan is still far from perfect.

“I think the challenge is for our community to think not in today’s perspective, but about the future,” says Pushnik. “What do we want to have available not only for ourselves, but for our children and our children’s children?”

Community members can contact the RTC with feedback about the rail and take their survey until July 31: sccrtc.org/rail.

bands like the Sex Pistols) with a unifying concept. His co-author, Gillian McCain, was the program coordinator of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church—famed for its connections to Smith, Jim Carroll, William Burroughs and other punk poets beginning in the 1970s—from 1991 to 1995, roughly the same time that they worked on Please Kill Me. After hundreds of interviews with everyone from icons like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop to lesser-known scene stealers like former “company freak” record exec Danny Fields and filmmaker Bob Gruen, the result was the best-selling book ever about punk music, which has been published in 15 languages around the world.

Now, as Grove Atlantic prepares a 20th anniversary edition of Please Kill Me, the book has spawned literally hundreds of imitators, everything from similarly focused music books like We Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of L.A. Punk, Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music and Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal to general-pop-culture megahits like Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live by Tom Shales and Andrew James Miller (a documentary based upon which is being released this week) and their follow-up Those Guys Have All The Fun: Inside the World of ESPN (for which a fictionalized major film adaptation was recently announced). The oral history craze has reached such a fever pitch—and, perhaps, level of absurdity—that the newest issue of Vanity Fairr features the “definitive oral history” of the movie Clueless.

So why isn’t Legs McNeil proud of blazing a trail for this new wave of 21st century oral histories?

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JUNE 17-23, 2015

n much the same way ay that punk was a mu musical revolution, the definitive initive book about punk was a literary one.

SHOCK VALUE â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we did in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Please Kill Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was we showed the linkage from the Velvet Underground to the Stooges. Nico moves in with Iggy, John Cale produces Iggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first album. We kind of mapped it all out, and every punk book has taken that formula.â&#x20AC;? - LEGS MCNEIL <23 pair adhered to some strict rules while doing Please Kill Me that later imitators have often ignored, usually to their detriment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We refuse to cheat,â&#x20AC;? says McCain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a piece of prose in between two people talking. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;And then so and so went to blah blah blah.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheating.â&#x20AC;?

McNeil says the demanding structure of oral histories is what makes them so easy to screw up.

With no exposition to support them, the quotes have to weave a tight narrative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really difficult,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oral histories are like rock and roll itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;very, very fascistic and anal. Seriously. Once you break the formula, no matter what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done up till that point, the whole thing falls apart. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like you can make a mistake. You know, like in memoirs there are shitty chapters where the guy goes off on his cat or his mother or something, and you go with that because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get good again. But in an oral history you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll collapse.â&#x20AC;?

Please Kill Me established a blueprint for understanding the punk movement that has been followed by almost every book since, with the Velvet Underground as the first real protopunk band, and Lou Reed as the godfather of punk. While the Velvets were already widely accepted as punk progenitors by the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s (with no small amount of credit going to the 1990 cover album Between Heaven and Hell: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground, which kicked

off the tribute record craze) the actual story of how punk evolved from band to band through New York and Detroit had never really been told.

But the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s framing deviceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;beginning with the Velvet Underground starting out in Andy Warholâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Factory scene, and ending with their reunion in 1992â&#x20AC;&#x201D;was something that developed over time.

Finding such a framework was key, since the origins of punk could be said to stretch all the way back to the beginning of rock itself; just look at how the Sex Pistols worshipped Eddie Cochran, or the Cramps covered the Johnny Burnette Trio and the Count Five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, because we started interviewing people from [â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s garage band] ? and the Mysterians,â&#x20AC;? says McCain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to go that avenue, but it ended up we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

The dynamic between McCain and McNeil is a fascinating one. One of McCain’s earliest memories of meeting McNeil speaks volumes about their dynamic.

“We had a mutual friend, and she said ‘I’m going over to Legs’ to watch a movie.’ And we became friends. He lived on St. Mark’s and First, and I was working at the Poetry Project at Second Avenue and 10th, so he’d drop by the office,” she recalls. “He’d come to readings and really drive me nuts, because during a poetry reading he’d be standing at the back, and whenever he’d move the least little bit, his leather jacket would creak. It just drove me insane. That’s how we met.”

“It was a doomed relationship,”

says McNeil dryly. “She does a great imitation of me coming to the Poetry Project: I’d go, ‘let’s go out for a cigarette,’ and then I’d split. I was always embarrassing her.”

Disagreements over who and what would make it into the book could be contentious, but McCain says McNeil was able to make tough but necessary editing decisions that she couldn’t bear.

“Legs really forced me to edit,” she says. “At first I was like, ‘No I want to put in Ed Sanders learning semiotics at grad school at NYU.’ And he was like, ‘No.’ ‘But it’s so good!’ ‘No.’” “Gillian and I argue a lot,” says McNeil. “If Gillian really sticks to her guns, then I have to scratch my head and go ‘whoa, wait a minute” … I’m pretty forceful, and I have a pretty strong personality. But Gillian seems to be able to cut through the bullshit.”

For all of their differences, he’s surprised at how much they think alike, which comes out especially when they do interviews together.

“We always look at each at other knowingly,” says McNeil. Also, we

never use notes, which is really weird. The person stops talking, and we both come in at the same time with the same question. That happens about 85 percent of the time.”

“That’s true,” says McCain.

“I think that’s something that makes people comfortable, that we don’t bring in notes. We just have conversations with them. Sometimes I have a few notes on a post-it that I put in my pocket, and when I go to the bathroom I look at it.”

“I always lose my scrap of paper,” McNeil says. “But since I’ve written it down, I know what it is.”

McCain credits McNeil with eliciting many of the stories that made Please Kill Me both shock and

amuse. The book is full of them: Nico giving Iggy Pop his first STD. Billy Murcia of the New York Dolls choking to death in a flat in London while partygoers around him flee. Dee Dee Ramone writing “Chinese Rocks” out of spite toward Richard Hell, but then giving Hell a co-writing credit for it because he wrote two lines. Malcolm McLaren on the differences between New York punk and the Sex Pistols.

“I learned so much from Legs,” says McCain. “He gets on the phone with Malcolm McLaren and goes ‘First off, I don’t want to talk about the Sex Pistols.’ And Malcolm McLaren is so fucking relieved! He asks him questions about the New York Dolls, which he was probably

rarely asked about before Please Kill Me. And then gradually the Sex Pistols come up, but he’s more engaged. Because he didn’t think he had to talk about it.”

“You disarm people,” admits McNeil. “You’ve got to be immediately intimate with them.

Because you’re going to ask them everything. You’re going to have to ask them who they’re sleeping with, what drugs they were taking, what they were thinking, what their emotional state was at the time.”

And yet, McNeil says he has yet to interview someone who was reluctant to talk.

“I think for a lot of people, it’s almost like therapy. They’re really into telling their story. It’s kind of fascinating,” he says.

TOO TOUGH TO SELL McNeil’s experimentation with the unfiltered style of Please Kill Me can be traced, to some extent, back to his time with Punk magazine.

“Kind of with the Q&A interviews, which were hysterically funny,” he says. “[John] Holmstrom would

do things like in the first Lou Reed interview, Lou was talking about his favorite cartoonists, and John drew him in the different styles, like Wally Wood. It was very cool. We did things like when I interviewed Richard Hell at Max’s and I passed out—and Richard kept talking. Stuff like that. That was fun, you know?”

Both McNeil and McCain were inspired by Edie: American Girl, the 1982 oral history of Edie Sedgwick

by Jean Stein and George Plimpton.

Though a bestseller and critically acclaimed for the groundbreaking exposition-free style that anticipated Please Kill Me, it failed to have the same cultural impact.

McNeil, however, saw its potential.

“He started doing a book with Dee Dee [Ramone],” says McCain.

“Dee Dee asked him to write his autobiography with him. Legs had the idea, because he loved Edie, to do it as an oral history. So he was getting Danny [Fields]’s interviews transcribed, and all these people, and I said to him, ‘This story is so much bigger than Dee Dee. He’s a seminal character, but it’s just such a huge story.’ Then Dee Dee got kind

SHOCK VALUE years old. And you see Jim Morrison come on stage. How do you feel?’

I don’t think many people have framed questions like that. That’s why we wanted to do him at the very end, so we totally knew what we were talking about.”

One might think that when Please Kill Me came out, a lot of the interviewees would have been thrilled to finally get their due for the role they played in punk. Not so, says McNeil.

“What happened was we were supposed to have two months off, and they sent out galley copies,” he says. “And they sent one to John Waters to get a blurb. John Waters doesn’t give blurbs. But John Waters knew everyone in the book. So he was calling everybody, going ‘I gotta read you your part!’ So everyone was calling me going ‘John Waters got the book, how come I don’t have it?’ No one ever came to me and said ‘wow we’re really grateful to you and Gillian for doing this book.’ It was just complaints.”

McNeil went on to co-write another oral history book, 2005’s The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry.

But for that one, he worked with Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia.

In fact, he and McCain didn’t work together again until they co-edited Dear Nobody: The Real Life Diary of Mary Rose, a collection of one teen’s journal entries that came out last year. They then began work on ’69, the Please Kill Me-like oral history of L.A. rock they hope to have finished in two years.

McNeil attributes the long gap between their collaborations to the ragged ending of their work on Please Kill Me. “We were just exhausted,” he says. “And Gillian hated me.

Understandably. I think she had a nervous breakdown after. I think working with me sent her over the edge.”

But she did come around.

“Well, yeah,” says McNeil, “but after 20 years.” She forgot the hard parts, he says.

And now, on the new book?

McNeil laughs. “I reminded her.”

of hard to get along with, and when they parted ways, Legs was like, ‘Do you want to do this with me?’ So that’s how it started.”

Considering that Please Kill Me would go on to have a huge impact on the book industry, it’s ironic that said book industry showed no interest in the project at first.

Despite 1991 being “The Year Punk Broke,” as one documentary title put it, with the success of Nirvana’s Nevermind, and pop-punk bands like Green Day and the Offspring storming the radio in 1994, a book about punk was still a tough sell back then. And it certainly didn’t help that it was an oral history, a literary genre people at the time associated with Studs Terkel books about old-timey things like the Great Depression and World War II. “We knew we wouldn’t be able to sell it on just a proposal and a chapter, because people wouldn’t get it. Not only the subject matter, but also the oral history format. So we had written the whole book before we tried to sell it,” says McCain.

The exhausting interview schedule had some out-there moments, like the interview with former Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton, which McNeil counts among his favorites.

“We did like 10 hours in one sitting. Drinking milk and vodka or some weird thing,” says McNeil. “I was just listening to him, and he’s talking to his cats through the whole thing. ‘Leave her alone, Patches!’”

The great white whale for the two of them was Iggy Pop. “We purposefully wanted to leave him for last, because we wanted to be able to ask really informed questions,” says McCain.

Pop ended up being her favorite interview that she and McNeil did together.

“I think we ask questions in a certain way that maybe makes people think about things in a different way, or reminds them of certain things. That was our goal, to get stories other people hadn’t. But when you ask a question [to Iggy Pop] like ‘OK, you’re at the Yost Field House. You’ve stolen some IDs.’ This is how Legs framed it. ‘You’re 14

the last five years. James’ eagerness to tackle everything from Beckett to Sondheim to Athol Fugard, from musicals to West Coast and World premieres, makes her company consistently worth watching.

For the finale of JTC’s Tenth Anniversary season, James presents Woman In Mind, a bittersweet

comedy of disillusion by popular British playwright Alan Ayckbourn.

First produced in 1985, the play starts off as a jaunty comedy about a midlife suburban woman confusing her fantasy of perfect family life with the far more mundane reality. Ayckbourn’s play quietly evolves into something much more

poignant, and this production, directed by James herself, strikes both its sad and funny highlights with effective precision.

The story begins with protagonist, Susan (Diahanna Davidson), prone in her modest garden with a strange man kneeling over her, spouting gibberish. It turns out she has >32

<30 just performed the classic slapstick comedy maneuver: stepped on a garden rake and smacked herself in the headâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a short trip to oblivion from which she is now just waking up. The man is a medical doctor, Bill Windsor (Shaun Carroll), whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just summoned an ambulance, his nonsense words finally resolving into ordinary English that Susan was mishearing in her delirious state.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daring to start off with a scene so disorienting to the audience, and Ayckbourn wisely sticks to Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly suspect and fractured perspective for the rest of the play.

As soon as Bill goes back in the house, the drab brick wall of Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard becomes a gateway to an extravagant English garden, full of mazes and hedgerows. (Kudos to Set Designer Kent Dorsey and Lighting Designer Mark Hopkins.)

Through this gateway pour Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doting husband Andy (David Arrow), adoring daughter Lucy (Danielle Crook), and devoted younger brother Tony (Jimmy Allan). They seem to have wandered in out of a 1930s Noel Coward play, in their sporty white outfits (costumes by the great B. Modern), wielding tennis rackets and glasses of vintage â&#x20AC;&#x153;champers.â&#x20AC;? The giddy Susan assures them all that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly fine.

Except that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. We know something is up as soon as the somewhat bumbling, but goodhearted Bill comes back out and makes reference to family members Susan at first doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acknowledge.

Her real-life family, as we soon learn, led by stodgy husband, Gerald (Chad Davies), an Anglican clergyman who neglects her for the book heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing about the history of the parish since 1386.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frazzled Muriel (the ever-stalwart Diana Torres-Koss), the widowed sister to whom Gerald is devoted, whose culinary attempts have everyone quaking in fear.

Aimless son, Rick (Nat Robinson), has joined a cult that forbids him to speak to his parents.

There are plenty of laughs as these two worlds begin to collide (including a comic Q&A expertly lobbed by Davidson and Carroll, with the recurring punchline â&#x20AC;&#x153;since 1386,â&#x20AC;? including how long Gerald has been working on his book). Arrow, Allan and Crook are all hilariously suave and arch as the fantasy family, and Davies maintains a vague, melancholy dignity as poor, plodding Gerald.

But this production doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get going until the second act, coming together at last even as its heroine unravels. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not simply that Susan retreats into idle romantic nonsense; the process by which sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become disengaged with her life has been involuntary and devastating. Once content as a wife and mother, she feels abandoned now that no one needs her anymore.

In her prickly conversation with son Rick, we see how they wound and infuriate each other, despite their best intentions. Finally, even her perfect alternate family starts to get on her nerves.

Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Susan is onstage throughout, and her sharp yet aching performance helps JTC end is 10th season on a high note of dramatic complexity.

The Jewel Theatre Company production of Woman In Mind plays through June 28 at Center Stage, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz, 425-7506, jeweltheatre.net.

LITERATURE Eastman on the weekends, but I stopped competing. Then I went to college, got into journalism, and didn’t really play anymore. But my aunt bought me an upright piano for college graduation, and it became a source of hidden strength. I schlepped it with me everywhere.

How did you get back into playing?

Flash forward 30 years to Santa Cruz.

My youngest son, who was turning into a great saxophone player, wanted me to accompany him. He was 13 and I knew he wasn’t going to keep asking me to do things with him much longer, so I started to play and became absorbed. Suddenly, I was practicing two or three hours a day, more than I had as a teenager, but I still couldn’t play for people.

Santa Cruz author Sara Solovitch on overcoming stage fright in ‘Playing Scared’ BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

34

D

oes the thought of giving a speech make you nauseous? Do you tend to miss shots in clutch time?

Welcome to the agonizing world of performance anxiety. It plays out everywhere we feel the eyes (or judgment) of others upon us.

Journalist and classical pianist Sara Solovitch knows the feeling.

After years of managing her stage fright through avoidance, the Santa Cruz author became determined to get past it in time to perform a piano concert on her 60th birthday.

In her memoir, Playing Scared, she takes us on a year-long journey to overcome a lifetime of fear. Along the

way, she talks to athletes, performers, psychologists, and kindred spirits, who help her understand that focusing on connection instead of perfection is the key to the spotlight.

We talked recently about life, love, and sweaty palms.

How did you fall in love with the piano?

SARA SOLOVITCH: I come from a family that valued music more than anything else. My aunt, who was a great pianist, bought me my first piano when I was 7 years old. Even though we lived in a small town in southern Ontario, everyone took piano lessons.

Locals would fill the recital hall just to see how the kids were doing.

When did your stage fright set in?

I’m not sure exactly, but at about 13, I started crashing at recitals. My hands would sweat, my heart would pound, and I could barely see the music. My mother was horrified that I couldn’t maintain my composure and play the way she heard me play at home, but I couldn’t help it. I became known for it.

Did that make you stop performing?

Not right away. At 14 or 15, I played in a higher-level competition in a bigger town and got second place. Everybody in the hall gasped, and the adjudicator, who was from the Eastman School of Music, had to explain why he gave it to me. A couple of years later, we moved to upstate New York and I attended

What made you decide to write about it?

My husband told people at work that I’d gotten back into the piano. We went to a Christmas party and everyone started saying, ‘play, play, play,’ but what I heard was, ‘jump, jump, jump.’

I’m not driven by fear in other areas of my life, but my stage fright actually felt worse than it had before. I talked to a friend about it, my husband, too, and they said I should write a book.

Was writing the book part of getting past your fear?

Definitely. I’m a writer. Telling my story, telling any story, is really important to me.

What helped?

I found a wonderful teacher.

Something I did with her, and it became a regular outing to play at the San Jose airport, where there’s a grand piano in terminal B right outside the baggage claim. It was there for anyone to play, and it was liberating because people were just walking by, talking on cell phones, going about their business.

What larger issues opened up as you were writing the book?

I kept hearing something my father used to say: “If you want to understand something about yourself, try to change it.” Trying to change my fear around this meant tackling something deep within. I didn’t want to die with it, and that made all the difference.

ART FILES

SWEET AND LOCAL Santa Cruz artist Ed Penniman at work. His new exhibit of Santa Cruz

landscapes is on display at the County Governmental Center through Aug. 7.

Place Painting Ed Penniman’s ‘Santa Cruz Sweet Spots’ exhibit highlights his love of his native city BY GEOFFREY DUNN one that has framed his own artistic sensibilities for a half century.

These sensibilities have come to a beautiful fruition in his new show, “Santa Cruz Sweet Spots,” currently on exhibit through Aug. 7 on the fifth floor of the County Governmental Center. It’s a stunning collection of what Penniman calls “institutionalsized” oil paintings of familiar landscapes throughout the region.

Penniman has painted around the world, and has developed an international following for his work.

But in this most recent collection, he has brought his native love of place to a visual apotheosis.

Penniman has taken iconic

locales that we all recognize—Cowell Beach, Pogonip, Elkhorn Slough, Schwan Lake—and both “purified and dramatized” them, as he says, with a highly refined sense of color and light. He has also simplified these familiar scenes in subtle ways, removing unnatural elements and visual distractions, bringing them all together in a stunning series of vivid compositions.

“The inspiration for my art comes from the beauty of our natural world,” Penniman says. “These are of places that I remember as a kid and always appreciated. By showing these works in a single exhibit, I want to foster stewardship of our region’s beautiful

“Santa Cruz Sweet Spots” is on exhibit through Aug. 7 on the fifth floor of the County Governmental Center, 701 Ocean St., Santa Cruz.

F

ew Santa Cruz artists can claim the deep local pedigree of Ed Penniman.

His grandmother, Leonora Naylor Penniman, was a member of the famed “Santa Cruz Three”—which also included Margaret Rogers and Cor de Gavere—a legendary trio of plein air artists whose work dominated the local cultural landscape from the 1920s into the 1950s.

A fourth-generation Santa Cruzan on both sides of his family—his father’s lineage traces back to a prominent downtown business, his mother’s to Italian farmers and craftsmen—Penniman possesses a rich and firmly established sense of place,

sweet spots.”

Born and raised here, Penniman came of age before the arrival of the UCSC campus, when the county was still largely rural and Santa Cruz had a distinctive small-town feel. Now in his early 70s, Penniman seems entirely at ease in his world and with his artistic passions.

That it’s a hard-won tranquility is something of an understatement. At the age of 42, Penniman’s life took a startling and debilitating turn when he was diagnosed with GuillainBarré syndrome (GBS)—a polio-like condition in which the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system and for which there is no cure. In perfect health one day, he went to bed and woke up the following morning completely paralyzed, a fullblown quadriplegic, uncertain if he would live.

“The GBS put me through the meat grinder,” he recalls without bitterness.

“It forced me to start looking at the world in a whole different way. I see things more clearly. You know, van Gogh could paint the air, paint the wind. It opened up my eyes and mind in ways that I could never imagine.”

Unable to move his feet or his hands, he began his recovery by painting with a “mouth stick,” a device he developed after using a similar device to turn pages while he was reading. He was confined to a wheelchair for several years.

The experience had a profound impact on his life. “I want to maximize my days,” he said. “My love of art transcends the physical world. Renoir had severe arthritis. He knew that the pain is temporal, but the art is eternal.

And producing my artwork takes my mind off it.”

Three decades beyond his initial diagnosis, Penniman remains passionate about his craft. He is constantly at work, eternally engaging artistic nuances and creative concepts.

The “Santa Cruz Sweet Spots” exhibit, while reflecting his most recent focus, also embraces a life-long love affair.

“My art is my muse and my mistress,” he smiles. “Nature is beautiful, and beauty is healing.”

MUSIC

POP ART Andy Cabic brings Vetiver to the Catalyst on Thursday, June 18.

Shadow Play JUNE 17-23, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Vetiver’s Andy Cabic balances melancholy themes with upbeat sounds BY CAT JOHNSON

44

A

t first blush, Andy Cabic writes upbeat pop songs.

But give them a few more spins and you’ll start to hear darker themes hidden in those feel-good songs. The man behind Vetiver, a pop-folk band with electronic inclinations, Cabic brings both light and dark emotions and imagery to his music.

“Those dualities are very much a part of my writing and what I enjoy about songs,” Cabic says. “They leave a lot open to the listener, they reveal more upon further listening, and they maintain some element of mystery.”

On the new Vetiver album, Complete Strangers, Cabic brings that duality

to the foreground, positioning the songs so that a cheerful tune may be followed by a tale of misery—and vice versa. “Current Carry,” for example, is a blissed-out song of love-goneright and visions of a bright future.

The next tune, “Confiding,” is an exploration of lies, feeling lost and trying to forget. The juxtaposition is striking, but it gives the songs a nice weight. Buoyed by bubbly beats and melodies that feel like driving up the coast on a sunny day, the sometimesdark themes provide a grounded, honest glimpse into the complexities of being human.

Cabic says he has a fondness for songs where songwriters give you

a really happy melody even though the lyrics may have a “bummer edge” to them. For him, it’s about striking a balance.

“I don’t like my melancholy in songs to be something that you wallow in, or that is too self-involved,” he says. “If you sit through a song that maybe is a little more emotionally on edge, then that makes the next time a sunnier song comes along, that one sings out a little brighter.”

Figuring out which songs to put next to each other is also a matter of space, timing, and the finished product. Cabic takes into consideration how many songs will fit on each side of a record, and which songs he wants at the

beginning and end of each side.

The songs on Complete Strangers were written over a period of several years. Cabic isn’t sure why, but this one took him some time to “figure out where [he] was going.”

“I’m not terribly prolific,” he says.

“I’m a slow writer. I tend to throw out way more than I keep. These songs are just what I gravitated toward as I realized I had an album nearly ready.”

While Vetiver has always used hints of electronica, Complete Strangers is Vetiver’s most electronic album to date. Cabic’s longtime musical partner, Thom Monahan of indierock band the Pernice Brothers, has engineered and co-produced every Vetiver album, stretching back to the self-titled debut in 2004. He’s a big part of the Vetiver sound, offering Cabic feedback on song structure, instrumentation, and production.

Cabic says Monahan is someone he can trust as a devil’s advocate. The two were originally introduced years ago when a demo recording Cabic made passed hand-to-hand through a group of musicians and friends. It made its way to Monahan, who reached out to Cabic. The two hit it off, and 10-plus years later, they’re still making music together, furthering Vetiver’s sound.

At one point, Vetiver was lumped into the “freak folk” movement, but that was an ill-fitting placement that had nothing to do with Cabic’s music, and everything to do with the fact that he was friends with some of the freak folk poster children, including Devendra Banhart.

“The freak folk title is not really applicable,” Cabic says. “I knew a lot of those people and was performing with them, and am friends with them, but musically, that’s not really where I was coming from.”

Cabic survived the misapplied title intact, and is still doing what he does best: creating catchy folk-pop music full of contrasting emotions and lyrics that draw listeners in and reveal more with each listen.

“All I know how to do is write songs that are the ones that I can sing,” he says, “and are the ones that I want to be singing five or 10 years from now.”

Vetiver will perform at 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 18 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 423-1338.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND FROGMAN EXPERIENCE

On a stage adorned with plants and giant magic mushrooms, a cowboy lays down a mean drum solo, which is followed by a funk-slapping bass lick dropped by what appears to be an Aztec frog in a psychedelic shirt. Soon, a wizard begins tearing it up on the guitar while more animals float on and off stage.

No, your drink wasn’t spiked. You’re just watching the Frogman Experience. It’s a full-on “theatrical funkadellic” show complete with set design, a loose script that leaves room for improv, and a cast of characters consisting of Cowboy Timo, Mugwort the Dragon, Andrew the Wizard, Birdman and more.

“I’m trying to push this message across that I saw in a vision,” explains bassist Justin Mosely (aka Moses the Frogman).

“I was shown what would happen if I showed everyone the truth, and what would happen if I just covered it up.”

JUNE 17-23, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

That vision was a six-hour, silent Ayahuasca ceremony. “During the ceremony, I was visited by a frog spirit,” he says, “who showed me myself, wearing this frog mask, and helping the people out of their struggles—showing them that the struggle was within themselves, not something external.”

58

Mosely didn’t miss the metaphor.

“I did the ceremony because I have a problem with alcoholism,” he admits.

“That’s why the whole story behind the Frogman is helping people through the struggles within themselves.”

After his trip, the 27-year-old native Santa Cruzan spent the next three months constructing his elaborate mask. By January 2014, he was busking as the Frogman, rocking out on an acoustic bass.

“People on Pacific thought I was a little nuts,” he says with a laugh.

“Even in Santa Cruz.” MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, June 19. Blue Lagoon. 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

TOM RUSSELL An Americana songwriter who is deeply rooted in the Old West, Tom Russell has been a favorite of cowboy-culture fans for the last 40 years. His new album, The Rose of Roscrae, is a cowboy opera based on the frontier musicals that Russell grew up with. He jokingly calls it ‘Les Miserables with cowboy hats.’ The 25-song project features a stellar cast of performers including Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Guy Clark, Eliza Gilkyson, Jimmy LaFave, and many more.

EMILY KINNEY Emily Kinney is one of those musicians people swear they’ve seen before, but can’t figure out where. That’s probably because her light and fanciful songs are quite different than her acting roles on Law & Order: SVU and The Walking

Dead (and no, we’re still not over Beth’s death). Musically, the multi-faceted Kinney spins amorous and sweet stories throughout her songs, briefly touching on the dark sides of reality.

However, she always provides a flashlight of hope to guide the listener back into the sunny side of life. MAT WEIR

THURSDAY 6/18

As an aspiring young player in the late 1990s, Berkeley-based Hammond B-3 player Wil Blades sought advice from veteran groove master Dr. Lonnie Smith, who gained fame in the 1960s through his work with guitarist George Benson’s blazing band. A brilliantly exploratory improviser who’s tackled the music of Beck and Jimi Hendrix, Smith became a mentor to Blades, encouraging him to expand the instrument’s possibilities. Now they’re playing a series of Bay Area gigs as peers, which is to say that this is a fearsome funk face off and neither of these cats will be giving any quarter. ANDREW GILBERT

FUNK

ORGONE 1970s funk is such a specific sound from one particular time period. The music is simple, but seemingly impossible to replicate, and ‘90s hip-hop was fueled by crate-digging DJs sampling it. Since the ’70s, there’s been no shortage of new bands playing the funk—and making audiences cringe. Orgone is that rare breed of band that have the knack. They aren’t quite as weird and eclectic as groups like Parliament or Sly and the Family Stone, but they got the groove locked down tight. They started out instrumental, even backing rappers in the early years, but added vocalist Fanny

A road-tested, fun-loving band out of Los Angeles, Igor & the Red Elvises is the premiere Siberian surf rock band in the world—never mind the fact that they may be the only Siberian surf rock band in the world. Led by Russian-born frontman and founding member Igor Yuzov, the band is a revolving cast of international collaborators, including members from United States, Israel, Puerto Rico and Bulgaria. Not sure what to expect? Imagine high-energy, guitar-driven rock and surf jams, sung in Russian, with any number of random instruments and a lot of laughs thrown in. CJ

SUNDAY 6/21 HONKY-TONK

JP HARRIS Don’t call JP Harris an Americana singer-songwriter, or a roots musician, or, god forbid, “alternative country.”

As far as he’s concerned, it’s just plain ol’ country. And the young Nashville singer-songwriter plays the music with authenticity and passion. He’s actually a tough musician to figure out, with neither the slick production of artists like Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw, nor the eclectic influences of alt-country. His

Soul Coughing would have been a different band if lead singer Mike Doughty had more creative control. In a 2013 interview with NPR, Doughty said that even though he was excited about the band’s mix of hip-hop, house, poetry, and avant-garde jazz, he was “not crazy” about how it turned out. His solo career started in 2000 with just an acoustic guitar, seemingly running as far from the Soul Coughing sound as possible.

He’s slowly built up a backing band, and after revisiting his Soul Coughing material two years ago, he seems to getting closer to the sound fans fell in love with.

Hopefully this time he falls in love with it, too. AC

hooks, gorgeous instrumentation and tight harmonies. Comprised of Denys Kozakis on vocals and guitar, Natosha Wengreen on vocals, and Jon Payne on bass, the trio is already attracting attention in the Bay Area and beyond.

The outfit’s debut album, Ponderosa Pines, released earlier this year, fits nicely alongside records by Iron & Wine, Ray Lamontagne, the Civil Wars and early Mumford & Sons. Also on the bill: local avant-folk band Spurs. CJ

Now in its sixth year, the Hop ‘N Barley Festival is a celebration of all things beer featuring over 100 different beers by dozens of breweries including Santa Cruz Ale Works, Mavericks Brewing, Bear Republic, Highway 1 Brewing, Grand Teton, Mavericks, and Cider City.

Benefiting the Community Housing Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, the festival also features barbecue, vendors, and music by the McCoy Tyler Band, Coffee Zombie Collective, Naked Bootleggers and more. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

LEADING LADY Blythe Danner in Brett Haley’s wistful comedy ‘I’ll See You in My Dreams.’

Prime Example JUNE 17-23, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Woman of a certain age’ carries the show in Brett Haley’s ‘See You in My Dreams’ BY LISA JENSEN

64

I

t’s always a refreshing change to see an entire movie built around a female character. Especially if that character is a woman of a certain age. (And especially a woman played by somebody other than Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep, as fabulous as both of them usually are.)

There are plenty of veteran actresses capable of carrying a film, if only given the chance, and one of them proves to be Blythe Danner in I’ll See You in My Dreams, a wistful comedy with romantic overtones written for her by filmmaker Brett Haley.

A versatile actress who has been busy in movies and TV since the 1970s, Danner has never really had

one signature role; she’s been good in lots of smaller roles over the years.

These days, she may be best known as the mother of Gwyneth Paltrow.

Haley and co-scripter Marc Basch concoct a character vaguely based on Danner’s situation, a widow living in Los Angeles, with a background in show business. If some plot elements fall into place a bit too easily, and the story has a somewhat elitist feel, the actors are fun to watch, and even the attempt to tell a story from a woman’s viewpoint is appreciated.

Carol Petersen (Danner) is a widow living alone with her trusty old dog in a nice house in the L.A. suburbs. She lost her husband in a

plane crash 20 years ago, and her grown daughter has been out of the house for years. She enjoys her daily routines—reading the paper, drinking Chardonnay, and playing bridge and golf with her girlfriends, three other widows (Rhea Perlman, June Squibb, and Mary Kay Place), who all have nice little apartments in a retirement community nearby.

But when Carol has to say goodbye to her beloved dog, she starts to get the restless feeling that her life may be missing something. She knows she’s not yet ready to move into the retirement community—especially not after her friends coerce her into attending

a speed-dating event among the resident widows and widowers, with results as unfortunate as you might imagine. But she does strike up an unexpected friendship with Lloyd (Martin Starr), the new guy who comes to clean her pool.

Far from the stereotypical “pool boy,” 30-something Lloyd has recently returned to the area to take care of his elderly mother. Between jobs and relationships, Lloyd is a would-be songwriter who’s thrilled to learn Carol was once in a folksinging group in Greenwich Village.

He persuades her to come out with him to a karaoke bar late one night, (“Nowadays, people go out late and don’t have jobs,” he explains dryly), where she wows the crowd with her bluesy vocal on “Cry Me A River.”

Meanwhile, she meets Bill (Sam Elliott), a ruggedly handsome silver fox who begins courting her the old-fashioned way. He asks for her number, and invites her to a lunch he prepares for her on his boat in the marina. You just know that in any movie in which a mature woman meets a guy who looks like Sam Elliott, sparks are destined to fly— and they do, in a very satisfying way. But to Haley’s credit, neither of these subplots play out quite the way we expect.

Still, this is a story of privilege that doesn’t feel as universal as it might. Carol’s house comes complete with a tastefully maintained succulent garden and a pool no one ever uses. (Her late husband was a lawyer.) And her friends’ retirement community, with its golf course, is not exactly low-income housing. It’s not that the characters’ dilemmas are any less real (not that they have many dilemmas), but the setting feels a trifle insular.

But the movie has its merits, and Carol’s friendship with the deadpan Lloyd is a particularly nice touch.

And Danner, with her wry, slightly crooked grin and sense of humor, puts a face on the idea of aging with grace and spirit.

I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS **1/2 With Blythe Danner, Martin Starr, Sam Elliott, and Rhea Perlman. Written by Brett Haley and Marc Basch. Directed by Brett Haley. A Bleecker Street Media release. Rated PG-13.

95 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK DOPE Shameik Moore certainly redefines the definition of “geek” (since when are geeks the perfectly chiseled Fresh Prince throwback types with Class Act hair and excellent taste in music) as Malcolm, a straight-A student carefully maneuvering the reality of growing up in Inglewood. Produced

by Pharrell Williams and Sean Combs (who are responsible for the undoubtedly dope soundtrack which includes four new originals

by Pharrell) in addition to Forest Whitaker, the coming of age comedy/drama sees Malcolm through the trials and tribulations of his teens—the mean streets, romance, drama, and everything awkward and awesome in between.

Rick Famuyiwa directs. Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, and Kiersey Clemons co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

Starts Friday.

JUNE 17-23, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

INSIDE OUT Voiced by the royalty of today's comedy cinema, this Pixar creation follows the inner-workings of Riley—literally, her life is navigated by the “emotions” Joy, Fear, Disgust, Anger, and Sadness, all animated characters inside her head and all utterly adorable with their own personalities—as her father moves her family from Minneapolis to San Francisco. Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, and Lewis Black are among the top-tier comedic cast led by directors Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen. (PG) 94 minutes. Starts Friday.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For our location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google.com/ group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING THE 100 YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED This darkly absurdist Swedish comedy, based on an international bestseller, follows an iconoclastic senior who sneaks out of a nursing home

for one last adventure, while reflecting on his Forrest Gump-like participation in famous cultural and political moments from his century of life. Robert Gustafsson stars for director Felix Herngren.

(R) 114 minutes.

ALOFT Twenty years ago, Nana Kunning (Jennifer Connelly) abandoned her son Ivan (Cillian Murphy). After a lifetime apart, the two are on very separate courses when a young journalist, played by Mélanie Laurent, brings mother and son together in a way that makes both question their lives—and the audience question how an actress only six years Murphy’s senior could play his mother. Claudia Llosa directs. (R) 112 minutes.

ALOHA Bradley Cooper stars in this romantic comedy-drama from Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) about a military contractor returning home to Hawaii to find an old girlfriend—but finds himself falling for the female Air Force officer assigned to watch him.

Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, and Alec Baldwin co-star. (PG-13) ENTOURAGE Once upon a time there was an HBO series that everyone agreed was good, but not quite as good as The Sopranos.

But it did have Jeremy Piven as agent Ari Gold, and after the show was over everybody kind of missed seeing him play that guy, so that’s probably why we now have an Entourage movie. The whole gang is back as we once again follow Adrian Grenier’s Vince, who is apparently still chasing fame and fortune in Hollywood. (R) 104 minutes.

EX MACHINA Screenwriter Alex Garland moves into the director’s chair with this simmering sci-fi chamber piece for three, with elegant echoes of Frankenstein and Blade Runner. Domhnall Gleeson is effective as a drone at a giant Internet search company invited to help his genius boss (Oscar Isaac) to determine if his AI experiment has consciousness. Alicia Vikander is the seductive creation. Garland has fun viewing the mad-scientist

motif through the template of modern technology, and invites us to consider the nature of humanity, at its best and worst, in this smart, literate thriller. (R) 110 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD In Thomas Vinterberg’s handsome adaptation of the classic Thomas Hardy novel, the plot points tick off right on schedule, but there’s rarely enough time for the emotional weight of events to fully resonate with the characters (much less the audience). Still, the wild Dorset locations look splendid, and the actors are persuasive— Carey Mulligan’s effective, nontraditional heroine, Michael Sheen, hapless and edgy as one of her three suitors, and especially Matthias Schoenaerts, whose warm, sturdy performance as the most reliable suitor is the backbone of the film. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

I’LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS Reviewed this issue (PG-13) 92 minutes.

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3 Now with 60 percent more insidiousness!

Unlike the other films in this series of low-budget horror hits, though, this prequel isn’t about the Lambert family and their haunting problems. Instead, it has the psychic character Elise Rainier saving a different family from the supernatural. (PG-13) 97 minutes.

IRIS Less is definitely not more for Iris Apfel. A fixture on the New York City design scene for over 60 years, the 93-year-old doyenne of style proves that fashion has no expiration date, adorning her frail-seeming body with a riot of prints, patterns, feathers, bangles and beads. With her matter-offact demeanor, wry wit, and easy laugh, she’s a thoroughly beguiling subject for this entertaining doc. This last film completed by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles is a buoyant adventure in celebrating life. (PG-13) 80 minutes. (***1/2) —Lisa Jensen.

JURASSIC WORLD Steven Spielberg apparently learned

nothing about franchises that have worn out their welcome from the poor reaction to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Oh wait, that movie made hundreds of millions of dollars? Oh, maybe he did learn something! Anyway, in this one, there’s a new dinosaur park, and everything goes fine! Not really, but wouldn’t that be kind of awesome? (PG-13) 124 minutes.

LOVE & MERCY Paul Dano stars as a young Brian Wilson in this biopic of the troubled Beach Boy. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Tom Hardy takes over the role that made the youthful Mel Gibson a star, and director George Miller takes the helm once again in this continuation of the postapocalyptic action franchise about souped-up, spare-part monster vehicles, huge explosions, and survival of the weirdest. Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Zoe Kravitz co-star. (R) 120 minutes.

PITCH PERFECT 2 The sassy women’s a capella singing team that made the first Pitch Perfect such a sleeper hit is back in this sequel, directed by co-star Elizabeth Banks. It’s a big-game movie with songs in which the Barden Bellas choke at a big concert, then try to re-earn their reputation by entering an international competition that no American team has ever won. Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, and Skylar Astin head the cast. (PG-13) 118 minutes.

POLTERGEIST The old Steven Spielberg horror classic gets a makeover in this update. Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt star as the parents whose little daughter starts to bond with aliens oozing into the household via the TV. Jared Harris co-stars for director Gil Kenan (Monster House; City of Ember). (PG-13) 93 minutes.

RESULTS Set in the world of buff fitness trainers and their cheerfully backsliding clients, this edgy comedy of dueling agendas from Andrew Bujalski is just off-kilter enough to keep us guessing. The

engaging cast includes starry-eyed fitness junkie and gym owner Guy Pearce, tart star trainer Cobie Smulders, and oddly endearing sad-sack client Kevin Corrigan.

Just when we think we know how all these characters are going to interact, things shift—and that keeps the story interesting. (R) 105 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

SAINT LAURENT As one of history’s most iconic fashion designers, Yves Saint Laurent was a man cloaked in as much perfumed mystery and lustrous allure as his creations. Chronicling his life from 1967 to 1976, this biography drama film stars Gaspard Ulliel as the master artist and depicts a man grappling with his own legacy, a prisoner of his own genius. Bertrand Bonello directs. Gaspard Ulliel, Jérémie Renier and Louis Garrel costar. (R) 150 minutes. Starts Friday.

SAN ANDREAS Dwayne Johnson stars in the first big disaster movie of the summer season, as a chopper pilot on a mission to save his daughter after the famous fault line goes kablooey and rips up the state of California. Carla Guigino, Alexandra Daddario, and Ioan Gruffudd co-star for director Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island). (PG-13) 114 minutes.

SPY Melissa McCarthy plays a suave, cold-as-ice secret agent in this film from writer-director Paul Feig. Just kidding! She’s goofy and loveable again, and Feig is doing his same action-comedy shtick from The Heat, only for spy movies. Jude Law and Jason Statham co-star.

(R) 120 minutes.

TOMORROWLAND Intent on turning every ride in their original theme park into a movie, the folks at Disney present this sci-fi mystery adventure about a jaded, former boy genius (George Clooney) and a bright teenage girl (Britt Robertson) on a journey of destiny to a place called “Tomorrowland” that haunts their dreams. Directed by Brad Bird (The Iron Giant; Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), from a script he wrote with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. (PG) 130 minutes.

ENFOLD WINES

DREAM COCKTAIL Hoffman’s has been named a winner in the National Lucid Absinthe competition for this creation, the Lucid Dreams. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Raising the Bar

I

was obviously the last to know that Hoffman’s Downtown, which I had always associated with memorable pastries and exceptional breakfasts, now showcases a full bar, plus live jazz six nights a week. Well, an email from owner Adam Hoffman set me straight. Since the Santa Cruz landmark opened 13 years ago, it has been busy making people happy for their pastries, legendary eggs Benedict and now—drum roll—award-winning cocktails.

Yes. Cocktails. Serious ones, such as the Lucid Dreams, a honey of a creation featuring Lucid Absinthe.

As it turns out, Adam Hoffman has been busy fine-tuning new and memorable cocktails, including one so outrageous that it has been named a national winner in the 2015 National Lucid Absinthe competition. Hoffman reveals proudly that he’s “featured as a national winner in the spring issue of Bartender magazine.” To which I can only add my personal congratulations. Hoffman confesses that he is an absinthe aficionado, passionate about mixology, and all of the exciting possible twists on cocktail classics. “I’m proud that my recipe was recognized by

leading absinthe experts,” Hoffman says. “It’s a way to showcase the artistry we’re working to bring back to the bar scene in Santa Cruz.”

So what’s in the award-winning Lucid Dreams? Without revealing his exact technique or proportions that make this a Hoffman signature, the mixologist says that the cocktail features “Lucid Absinthe, lemon, ginger liqueur, honey and warm chamomile tea.”

The warm chamomile tea probably helps to intensify the mysterious synergy of all of the ingredients.

But I’ll get back to you after I’ve sampled it for myself. Adventurous

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK The organic nectarine and plum conserve from Frog Hollow Farm, currently on sale at New Leaf on the Westside, is everything a bite of freshly harvested fruit should be. Dreamy on toasted Holy Moly from Companion Bakeshop.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JUNE 17-23, 2015

Award-winning absinthe cocktail at Hoffman’s, plus Enfold Wines and a conserve from Frog Hollow Farms BY CHRISTINA WATERS

We embarked on what would turn out to be a sensational meal at Artisan in Paso Robles: Wild boar tenderloin surrounded by a fennel risotto and topped with fresh mustard sauce—a dish so utterly perfect in every way that I can barely breathe as I recall it.

Well, that entree was romanced by a supple orchestration of red varietals called John’s Blend, from Enfold Wines. So small—350 cases a year—that only wine club members and a few choice restaurants receive their wines, Enfold is a family-owned, sustainably farmed vineyard just east of Paso. Here we were, enjoying this sensitive blend of Zinfandel, Mourvedre, Grenache, and Cabernet, when the waitress revealed that the owner Joseph D’Alessio was in the restaurant that night. One thing led to another and D’Alessio himself graciously came to our table, explaining that he and his wife Anita Speciale had fallen in love with the area a decade ago and built their winery on acres they planted with the grapes used in the estate’s custom blends. John’s Blend just won a gold medal at the Pacific Rim Wine Competition. This lovely handcrafted creation offers peaches and currants, leather and white pepper in the center and a charismatic lemongrass finish.

It is one of those compelling blends that goes on and on. And it went exactly with the earthy wild boar. Now I have yet another destination when spending time in Paso Robles, where the SpanishCalifornia landscape unfolds at its most classic. enfoldwines.com

s one of the judges at the Dare to Pair Food & Wine Competition held April 26 at the Surf City Vintners complex on the Westside, I had a hard time choosing a winning dish. All 12 plates of food prepared by students in the Cabrillo College Culinary Programâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;each paired with a compatible wineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were outstanding.

One of the 12 wines we tasted that day was a Chardonnay 2012 from Stockwell Cellarsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fairly new winery and tasting room on the Westside that is, not surprisingly, garnering some attention. We judges hailed this elegant Chardonnay ($32) as a huge hit that day, and so did the public. It came in second place in the competition. (Visit daretopair. org for complete list of winners.)

An array of apples and pears presents a smooth burst of flavor and well-balanced acidity in this Chardonnay, with some honeydew melon lingering on the palate. Made with grapes from the Santa Cruz Mountains and aged in 50-percent oak barrels and 50-percent stainless steel, this delicious wine is one that will pair up all summer long with fish, pasta, chicken and salads.

Winemaker Eric Stockwell started out making wine as a hobby, but soon went the Full Monty and opened up his own winery. Along with Suzanne Zeber, Stockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner who co-runs the business, Stockwell is also producing Pinot Noir,

Kitchen Witch Bone Broth

O

ne of the latest health products on the market, bone broth is considered by its proponents to be almost magical. Bones, water and vegetables are simmered for 24 hours or more, extracting all the nutrients from the bones. Kitchen Witch Bone Broth began selling their bone broth products in Santa Cruz late last year.

The three women behind the company, Magali Brecke, Missy Woolstenhulme and Rhiannon Henry explain what is so great about their products, which are currently available at New Leaf, Staff of Life, every other Wednesday at the downtown Farmers Market, and are in the process of being approved by Whole Foods.

Why should I drink bone broth?

MISSY WOOLSTENHULME: It is an incredible superfood that does everything from heal and soothe your gut lining to helping you build strong joints. For cancer patients, bone broth is sometimes the only food source they are able to keep down, and it nourishes them in their weakened state. Bone broth helps postpartum women recover from childbirth and increase milk supply, and CrossFit athletes use it to recover from intense workouts.

broth by the cup. Many people are actually replacing their morning cup of joe with bone broth, as it gives an uplifting, energy boost much like coffee but without the up and downs of caffeine.

Why are you called Kitchen Witch?

RHIANNON HENRY: A Kitchen Witch adds the blessings of her love into everything she cooks. This is one of our secret tenets that not everyone gets to hear. We believe in the healing power of thought and intention, and we keep our mind on the powerful effects that this broth is going to create in people’s bodies as we work away in the kitchen.

We have a few special ways to add extra blessings to each pot—but we’ll keep those to ourselves.

What’s a veggie bone broth made of?

MAGALI BRECKE: A shiitake and cremini-based broth, we call it “almost” veggie because we add grass-fed beef gelatin at the end of cooking to ensure our customers get the benefits of bone broth, without the meaty taste. We created this for all the vegetarians who wanted to consume nutrient-dense broth, but couldn’t get over the smell and taste of chicken or beef. AARON CARNES

How do people typically consume it?

The current trend is to drink bone

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SUMMER SOLSTICE, SUN GODS AND FATHER’S DAY Sunday is summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, and winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. It is also Father’s Day. We celebrate all fathers (and some mothers who are also fathers) on this longest day of light for the year. We celebrate the masculine (radiating outward) aspects within all of us, the “fathering” of newborns, and all men (fathers) who have, in ways great and small, impacted our lives.

At summer solstice the Sun in Cancer rests quietly for three days at the Tropic of Cancer before turning southward again. Since winter solstice, the light grew stronger each day. When summer solstice begins, inaugurating the three months of summer, paradoxically there is less and less light each day.

Summer solstice is also called Litha—Celtic for the month of June. Uriel, the summer Archangel, living and teaching in fields and meadows, protects the Earth.

The Sun’s golden power is celebrated at solstice.

In early times there were bonfires at midnight to reflect the solstice as the longest day of light for

the year. The crops are growing, the Earth is warm, and the animal kingdom (humanity is both animal and spirit) spends many hours in nature under the long day’s warming Sun. Summer is the exact opposite of the cold darkness of Yule.

Ancient people celebrated the Sun god at summer solstice. Their names (representing the disk, rays and power of the Sun): Amaterasu (Shinto); Ra and Aten (Egypt); Apollo (Greek); Lugh (like Mercury, Celtic). The feminine (heart) aspect of the Sun was revered through Hestia or Vesta (flames, Greek); Juno (Roman, June is named for her); Minerva (Celtic, goddess of Wisdom); Sunna (Norse, goddess of the Sun).

The solstice unfolds under a Sun/Saturn transit (Saturn is Father Time). We may feel very serious, aware of the passing of time. Monday, Jupiter trines Uranus in the early morning. We harmoniously expand into the new world. The forerunners (New Group of World Servers) “imagine” this world first.

Then everyone “sees” it.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Life is preparing you for something new. Put things in order even though it feels quite difficult, responsibilities seem overwhelming and hard work is the only thing you know anymore. The present is preparing for a future time when hopes, wishes, ambitions and dreams manifest.

Don’t fret if there’s been little recognition of your talents and gifts. This will change. All things come to pass.

It’s important to know your personality characteristics and events of the past are showing up in daily life. You’re remembering in order to understand them. Many experiences have been difficult, surprising, a battle, so that you could finally choose. Visualize standing under your soul’s light, your angel nearby. Then a beauty begins to unfold from within like lotus petals. You’re no longer the imprisoned prince or princess.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Many things are impacting your self-identity and home.

It’s most important to have right relationships with those close to you. Harmony at home is most important. It’s a place of safety and security. There is much reorganization, reshuffling and reordering to be done there. Pay all bills on time. You will be asked to care for others in need. In the near future your foundations change. Prepare now for this.

I suggest a study of eagles and dragons. There’s a shadow around all of us. It consists of all past life events still seeking completion. In your nightly review, have the intention to complete (and forgive, if necessary) and release all past interactions, relationships and events. So you can experience a greater “measure of life.” As you aspire toward completions all illusions and distortions fall away. First you’re naked, then triumphant.

GEMINI May 22–Jun20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You’re learning how to better express yourself in different, inclusive and more expanded ways. You’ve worked on communication, trying to carefully organize thoughts, ideas and information. Sometime soon, however, you need more amusement, fun, play and recreation. They calm you. There is something in your life that’s burdensome. When you’re called to assist and help others, you respond with goodwill.

There is gratitude.

Are you being called to a new endeavor? Do you feel a bit of resistance and rebellion? When there’s great work to be accomplished, there’s also great achievement. Know you’re functioning with a promise of success. Your individual self is being expressed through your unique achievements. Don’t let this be a time of sadness. Allow nothing to be unleashed from the past. Focus in the present moment. It creates your future.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 17, 2015

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

It’s important to understand how your inner world relates to your outer world and to see both worlds with no judgments.

It’s easy to judge others. Judgment creates separation and tension in both worlds. Concentrate on your virtues and gratitudes. Who personifies how you would like to be in the world. Imitate them. An inner preparation is taking place while your mind continues to be “made anew.”

You’re heading to a great zenith in your life. What you plant bears fruit. Allow your higher mind, soul, spirituality, garden, the devas and angels to lead you. The benefits will be surprising. Do not allow yourself to feel narrow and confined. Even though you’re carrying the archetype of Persephone, there’s beauty in shadows and the dappled light of summer’s days. Read the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, especially “Pied Beauty.”

LEO Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

We continue to learn more and more about ourselves each year. Leos are learning about values—physical, emotional, mental, moral, psychological and spiritual—and their importance. Values are a bit like virtues. You work diligently each day. Don’t allow fear to overcome your life. Maintain a focused order with finances and resources. A group interests you. Or you’re leading one. Create no dualities.

Always explain yourself. And ask questions.

The focus of transformation continues to be finances, resources and possessions. This focus has purpose: to establish true values and to recognize them. Ask what’s most important. Determine the purpose of all resources. Share everything with others. Do this now, for later there will be limitations when you will need care and assistance. We are given much so we can give much to others … unceasingly.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Assess your daily duties and responsibilities wherever you are working. New avenues of creativity bring forth recognition and honor. Consider all that you do as service—the divine task of all Virgos. You understand this. Saturn, dweller and guardian on the threshold, stands nearby. It’s directing your mind onto a new path that liberates the past. Then you advance forward.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Slowly and surely the past many years are continuing their completion cycle. Anything not quite finished or concluded will seek your attention. This occurs so that, at a later date, you can begin new projects and endeavors. The present energy offered is only for finishing past projects, not for beginning new ones.

Not yet. Should you resist this shadow phase, events will lead you astray and/or pass you by. Be diligent and practical.

JOE MORENO, 50-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Co-owner Lillian’s Italian Kitchen Hobbies: Musician/playing music, love working, camping, being with the family, cooking/family dinners Astrological Sign: Aries

What do you folks like to cook at home?

CHARLOTTE: “Well anything, including all the family Italian recipes, and I’m learning to cook Greek. I do some some baking, mostly my mom’s old bakery goods.” JOE: “I love making pizza for the family. I use King Arthur High Protein Enriched Flour, and I try to emulate my cousin’s pizza which was the best ever!” CHARLOTTE: “You can get just about everything you need at Shopper’s: fresh vegetables are big in Italian food; a good selection of olive oils, cheeses, and the meats — they’re so good here” JOE: “We shop here for home and Lillian’s.”

Such as? JOE: “There are some specialty meats we get from the meat counter for our Sunday gravy, also appetizers: we go through two or three soppressata a week and the butchers slice them for us.” CHARLOTTE: “The service we get from the butchers is so good.” JOE: “Same with the people in produce. They’re very helpful.” CHARLOTTE: “The pricing of the produce is very good, especially for the quality you’re getting.

Quality is important but so is locally sourced food. We’ve been coming here for years. It’s old-school and feels comfortable.” JOE: “We always try to support local businesses.”

That makes sense: JOE: “Absolutely. There are anchor stores on Soquel Ave. Shopper’s is the oldest one and it’s a destination market. It gives people a reason to come to Midtown.”

CHARLOTTE: “We’re neighborhood people and completely invested in the area. Shopper’s is the mainstay. I like that I know where everything is. I especially like their varieties of white wines — local, Italian and French.

The pricing is good and the sale wines are fun to try.” JOE: “I tell people new to the community: ‘Go to Shopper’s first and compare everything else to Shopper’s. You’ll always end up back at Shopper’s.’”

“You’re not just shopping here. You have conversations and dialog with the butchers and the girls. To me that’s ’community.’”
