OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE We’ve heard a lot in the last two years about economic recovery in Santa Cruz County, but Watsonville has had the toughest road back.

Unemployment peaked there in 2010 at 26 percent; in 2013 it was still at 17.8 percent. That’s what makes Roseann Hernandez’s cover story this week so remarkable: it’s been a long time since the revitalization of downtown was seriously discussed in Watsonville, let alone a priority.

What her story illustrates is that the momentum building to radically

reimagine downtown Watsonville is not coming from one person or group, but from several of the city’s power players. And the call to make it happen is not just being heard in the council chambers, but also in the business community, and from a new generation of cultural organizations that are helping to re-energize the city. Give the story a read and then judge for yourself—is this a turning point for the future of Watsonville?

Special thanks to Kirby Scudder, whose new poster celebrating Watsonville graces this week’s cover and inside spread. Go to kirbyscudder.com to find out more.

FEE ASSESSMENT

I read the article last week on the parking fees in Santa Cruz. I so agree. My daughter came to visit from out of town and we went to the wharf to eat. When we left, we had to pay outrageous fees to leave. It is now $3 an hour and 20 cents for every 10 minutes after that. Why do I want to go to the wharf and pay that in addition to the dinner and tip?

I go shopping in Capitola and Scotts Valley. I also go to movies there. There is no charge to park there.

The only time I go downtown is when out-of-area guests come visit.

Thanks, Santa Cruz.

ROWENA FULK | SANTA CRUZ

DARK ENERGY I really appreciated the article written about the police officer [Steve] Clark. I have been waiting for an article like this for some time, something that shows some of the corruption that is disgustingly obvious when attending a city council meeting. After the laws being passed about musicians playing got stricter, I examined more closely how they got these rules passed, and after much investigating I found that the people on city council had formed their own safety committee to write the laws, and then they were the ones who got to vote on it. I don’t really have the

energy right now to articulate all the weird things going on I’ve seen, but it is true that Micah [Posner] seemed like the only real person on city council, while Don [Lane] seemed like maybe a half of a person, with the rest being absolute puppets for a really dark energy that is trying to take over Santa Cruz. I’m just really glad there is a media outlet that is shining a light on some of this weird corruption. There is obviously some big money running things, and we haven’t even got to the big developers part in this story.

It makes it seem less scary when I see that people are actually starting to realize what’s going on. Thank you.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: PARKING Collecting on green zones around residential areas is a tragedy for those of us who must move our cars around to park near our homes. My house is sandwiched between two green zones that only serve to collect tickets on guests of a student commons. There are no posted restrictions on overnight parking or multiple re-use of green zones. This is a kind of entrapment where signs are missing.

These green zones remain empty most days, and my parking >8

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 15 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

“Stop Making Sense� was originally the name of the film and music soundtrack produced by the Talking Heads in the 1980s, and now it is the central theme of your horoscope. I think your brain would benefit from a thorough washing. That’s why I invite you to scour it clean of all the dust and cobwebs and muck that have accumulated there since its last scrub a few months back. One of the best ways to launch this healing purge is, of course, to flood all the neural pathways with a firehose-surge of absurdity, jokes, and silliness.

As the wise physician of the soul, Dr. Seuss, said, “I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells.�

“A failure is a person who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience,� wrote American author Elbert Hubbard. In light of this formulation, I’m pleased to announce that you are likely to achieve at least one resounding success in the coming weeks. At this juncture in your destiny, you know exactly how to convert a past mistake into a future triumph. A gaffe that once upon a time brought you anguish or woe will soon deliver its fully ripened teaching, enabling you to claim a powerful joy or joyful power.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 When you read a book that has footnotes, you tend to regard the footnotes as being of secondary importance.

Although they may add color to the text’s main messages, you can probably skip them without losing much of the meaning. But I don’t recommend this approach in the coming days. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, footnotes will carry crucial information that’s important for you to know. I mean this in a metaphorical sense as you live your life as well as in the literal act of reading books. Pay close attention to the afterthoughts, the digressions, and the asides.

GEMINI May21–June20 The English word “quiddity� has two contrary definitions.

It can refer to a trivial quibble. Or it can mean the essential nature of a thing—the quality that makes it unique. I suspect that in the coming weeks you will get numerous invitations to engage with quiddities of both types. Your first task will be to cultivate an acute ability to know which is which. Your second task: Be relentless in avoiding the trivial quibbles as you hone in on the essential nature of things.

The poet Mary Ruefle describes reading books as “a great extension of time, a way for one person to live a thousand and one lives in a single lifespan.� Are there other ways to do that? Watching films and plays and TV shows, of course. You can also listen to and empathize with people as they tell you their adventures. Or you can simply use your imagination to visualize what life is like for others. However you pursue this expansive pleasure, Scorpio, I highly recommend it. You are set up to absorb the equivalent of many years’ experience in a few short weeks.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sagittarius rapper Nicki Minaj is not timid about going after what she wants. She told Cosmopolitan magazine that she’s “high maintenance in bed.� Every time she’s involved in a sexual encounter, she demands to have an orgasm. In accordance with the current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to follow her lead—not just during your erotic adventures, but everywhere else, too. Ask for what you want, preferably with enough adroitness to actually obtain what you want. Here’s another critical element to keep in mind: To get exactly what you want, you must know exactly what you want.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

“A poet must not cross an interval with a step when he can cross it with a leap.� That’s an English translation of an aphorism written by French author Joseph Joubert. Another way to say it might be, “A smart person isn’t drab and plodding as she bridges a gap, but does it with high style and brisk delight.� A further alternative: “An imaginative soul isn’t predictable as she travels over and around obstacles, but calls on creative magic to fuel her ingenious liberations.� Please use these ideas during your adventures in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

A college basketball player named Mark Snow told reporters that “Strength is my biggest weakness.� Was he trying to be funny? No. Was he a bit dimwitted?

Perhaps. But I’m not really interested in what he meant by his statement. Rather, I want to hijack it for my own purpose, which is to recommend it as a meditation for you in the coming weeks. Can you think of any ways that your strength might at least temporarily be a weakness?

I can. I suspect that if you rely too much on the power you already possess and the skills you have previously mastered, you may miss important clues about what you need to learn next. The most valuable lessons of the coming weeks could come to you as you’re practicing the virtues of humility and innocence and receptivity.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

July is barely half over, but your recent scrapes with cosmic law have already earned you the title of “The Most Lyrically Tormented Struggler of the Month.�

Another few days of this productive mayhem and you may be eligible for inclusion in the “Guinness Book of World Records.� I could see you being selected as “The Soul Wrangler with the Craziest Wisdom� or “The Mythic Hero with the Most Gorgeous Psychospiritual Wounds.� But it’s my duty to let you know that you could also just walk away from it all. Even if you’re tempted to stick around and see how much more of the entertaining chaos you can overcome, it might be better not to. In my opinion, you have done enough impossible work for now.

In Margaret Mitchell’s novel “Gone with the Wind,� Rhett Butler delivers the following speech to Scarlett O’Hara: “I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.� Your oracle for the near future, Aquarius, is to adopt an approach that is the exact opposite of Rhett Butler’s. Patiently gather the broken fragments and glue them together again. I predict that the result will not only be as good as new; it will be better. That’s right: The mended version will be superior to the original.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Australian actress Rebel Wilson has appeared in several successful movies, including Bridesmaids, Bachelorette, and Pitch Perfect. But she didn’t start out to be a film star. Mathematics was her main interest. Then, while serving as a youth ambassador in South Africa at age 18, she contracted malaria. At the height of her sickness, she had hallucinatory visions that she would one day be “a really good actress who also won an Oscar.�

The visions were so vivid that she decided to shift her career path. I foresee the possibility that you will soon experience a version of her epiphany. During a phase when you’re feeling less than spectacular, you may get a glimpse of an intriguing future possibility.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

Shine the light. Design the light.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

“People who have their feet planted too firmly on the ground have difficulty getting their pants off,� said author Richard Kehl. That’s good advice for you in the coming weeks. To attract the help and resources you need, you can’t afford to be overly prim or proper. You should, in fact, be willing to put yourself in situations where it would be easy and natural to remove your pants, throw off your inhibitions, and dare to be surprising. If you’re addicted to businessas-usual, you may miss opportunities to engage in therapeutic play and healing pleasure.

Hmm, Don Lane has been threatening for months that if HSC services were cut, downtown will be badly affected. Since he’s the mayor, an elected civil servant, this threat should never have been made. It’s juvenile at best; at worst, it puts even more pressure on downtown businesses who struggle day in, day out with mentally ill transients. The nah-nahnah attitude is appalling. Come on, Mayor Lane.

It’s time to grow up.

WELLNESS

HARD PRESSED The health benefits of olive oil are extensive, but what separates good olive oil from bad? Susan Pappas, owner of the True Olive Connection weighs in.

Olive Our Hopes From health benefits to drought tolerance, olive oil could be California’s next best crop BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE olive oil that makes it so healthy is the presence of polyphenols. These molecules are renowned for their antioxidant capabilities, and are also found in high amounts in other superfoods, like blueberries, kale and green tea. Oleocanthal, a type of polyphenol found in high levels in olive oil, has the incredible ability to significantly lower inflammation throughout the body—which is where the scope of olive oil’s health benefits really come into full view.

Inflammation is a major driving force behind almost every health condition from heart disease to cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, skin conditions, digestive conditions, and almost everything in between.

But not all olive oil is created equal, and the often poorly regulated industry is rife with mislabeled, depreciated products.

“The adulteration of olive oil is taking a bad batch of olive oil and putting it with a good batch of olive oil, and just selling it as all extra-virgin quality,” says local olive oil expert Susan Pappas, owner of The True Olive Connection in Santa Cruz and Aptos. One disadvantage is that the polyphenols can be almost nonexistent in a poor-quality oil.

So what is the best way to tell if the olive oil you’re eating is high quality?

“Taste and smell,” says Pappas. “The most important thing that I teach my clients is that [high quality olive

A

table-top staple as ubiquitous in Italy as ketchup, mustard and butter in the United States, Italians love their olive oil so much that some use it in their babies’ first bath.

But olive oil is also extremely healthy when used in the more traditional culinary sense. It’s high in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which can help lower total cholesterol, bad (LDL) cholesterol and blood pressure, particularly if they replace saturated or trans fats in the diet. They can even help normalize insulin and blood sugar levels, which, when out of whack, can lead to type 2 diabetes.

The other main component of

oil] should always have a very fresh smell to your nose. Your nose will distinguish quality before your palate.”

Once you’ve taken a big whiff of your oil, what should the experience of a good olive oil be like on your tongue?

“A peppery finish and a little tickle in the back of your throat,” says Pappas.

This sensation is indicative of a high amount of polyphenols, says Pappas.

Olive oil’s gold standard is extra-virgin, first cold-pressed, meaning that the olives are pressed within hours of being picked with the utmost care going to proper temperature control.

Unfortunately, worldwide standards for testing and quality assurance often fall short. Recent research out of UC Davis found that about 87 percent of olive oil sold in U.S. supermarkets was not only fraudulent, but completely rancid. And even if the olive oil is made well, the distribution channels can ruin perfectly good oil unless strict standards for temperature and packaging are adhered to, says Pappas.

Americans are so used to butter, margarine, and other more common vegetable oils that it takes a conscious effort to get more olive oil into their diets, and sometimes a little creativity. Although a delicate oil, olive oil can be used in many cooking applications—but the key is to bring the oil’s temperature up slowly, says Pappas. Its smoke point is 385 degrees Fahrenheit—high enough for frying, sautéing and even deep-frying. Another nourishing way to eat olive oil is as a replacement for butter, says Pappas. Simply refrigerate the oil, which will firm it up, then spread it on anything from bread to corn on the cob.

Olive trees are very droughttolerant, which is good news for local olive oil enthusiasts: Pappas says that California olive oil production is growing rapidly, with many farmers replanting their fields with olive trees and learning about the industry from European growers.

“Most people are proposing that in 10 years California will be completely sustaining its need for olive oil and we won’t be importing it anymore,” says Pappas. And because of olive oil’s delicate and temperamental qualities, producing and distributing it locally may help maintain its quality and freshness, leading to a better-tasting and healthier product.

Poop Scoop The city has invested $25K in a program that will test a 24-hour bathroom downtown BY BRAD KAVA

W

hen City Councilwoman Pamela Comstock saw a man by the shopping area at River Street and Highway 1 drop his pants and defecate in public, she knew she wasn’t going to be able to forget it—and that she didn’t want anyone else in Santa Cruz to have to see the same thing.

“It’s disturbing,” Comstock says.

“It’s something you don’t recover from.”

That’s why in the thick of budget cutbacks, Comstock swam against the tide, working to get the city to spend serious money on getting restrooms downtown, despite prohibitive costs. As it stands now,

there is a three-month trial program for one 24-hour bathroom in the parking garage at Soquel and Front streets at a cost of $25,000. There is also a portable john at Front and Laurel streets, for which the city funds some of the cleaning expense.

Comstock’s motion passed the council unanimously, and the city has the summer to see if having 24-hour bathrooms is cost effective. As much as people don’t prefer to think about human waste, it’s crucial to the health and safety of downtown, say visitors and officials.

“I was just telling my friends today that it felt like I walked around forever to find a bathroom,” says Sebastian Padua, 20, of San Ramon.

“I had no idea there were public restrooms downtown.”

Denver native Neil Warren, 29, adds: “There are times I avoid coming downtown even when I want to.

There’s always a parking struggle or the thought of searching for a place to use the bathroom. I think they should make a bigger effort in informing people these bathrooms exist.”

Not everyone, however, sees the need.

“I’d rather see the city spending money on remedies for the homeless, jobs, housing, feeding, than spend it on bathrooms attracting them here,” says John Sterling, 54, a local guitar teacher.

Despite the area’s reputation as a place people migrate to for handouts, far fewer people in Santa Cruz County are receiving CalFresh benefits, or food stamps, than are eligible for them.

The city and county governments, in partnership with community organizers, are ramping up efforts to make sure people living in one of the most expensive areas in the United States get the help they need. Nearly 15 percent of the county currently lives below the poverty line, according to the United States Census average from 2009-14.

However, the number of Santa Cruzans receiving food stamps lagged below 8 percent until 2012, according to calbudgetcenter.org.

This number jumped over the 10 percent mark this year, in large part because of a campaign to help people find benefits they are entitled to, launched by the Benefits Collaborative Campaign, made up of city and county officials and 26 non-profit organizations.

“You obviously have a lot of people who are struggling,” says County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty. “A lot of attention goes to the homeless and the mentally ill. And it should.

But a lot of these other people get missed.”

People can receive these benefits with an income up to double the poverty line—which is judged as $20,000 for a family of three— Coonerty says. A couple with one child is lucky if they can rent a two-bedroom apartment in Santa Cruz for that price, even if they had no other life expenses, like, say, food.

Coonerty says he wants to see that struggling middle-class families in the county are not forgotten amidst other persistent voices. The benefit eligibility income limit being $40,000 per year for a family of three still leaves many who fall between there and the $57,000 salary— which is considered a living, or self-sustaining wage in this area—without help.

A large piece of the project has been to have the process streamlined. They have come up with some huge advances, including a “telephonic signature” for the CalFresh application process. “[The nonprofits] use recorders while they take calls from applicants,” says Santa Cruz County Human Services

NEWS POOP SCOOP <13 than $250,000 remodeling the parking lot bathrooms, making them bright, graffiti-proof and seemingly indestructible. The doors remain open, and users can be seen from the outside to discourage drug use or other criminal activity. There have been no complaints about the design, says Janice Bisgaard, spokeswoman for the Public Works Department.

The city has another program offering businesses $400 per month to let people use their bathrooms. So far, only two do so—Bookshop Santa Cruz and Cafe Gratitude. Others open restrooms just for customers.

While most people are respectful of the bathrooms at Bookshop, owner Casey Coonerty Protti says there are several expensive incidents of vandalism a year that burn through the funds.

Finding a place to potty overnight has been an even bigger problem. The garage bathrooms have traditionally closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and the city’s staff worries about the expense of keeping them open all night long.

They say the bathrooms need to be cleaned every two hours.

“The bars let out at 2 a.m. and where are people supposed to go?” asks

Comstock. “That’s why the parking garages smell like piss.”

But Chip, the president of the downtown association who goes by only his first name, is skeptical.

“If people are leaving the bar, they can use the bathroom there before they go,” he says. “Do you really think a bathroom in a garage is going to make a difference? I think they’ll still pee in the parking lots.”

Chip says the people who really need bathrooms open all night are the homeless. Homeless advocate Brent Adams has made bathrooms a big issue, and for the first time his group is working for the same cause as Take Back Santa Cruz, the anti-crime group co-founded by Comstock, with whom homeless activists often feud.

Wheel Works gave Adams a closet to store cleaning supplies he bought with $300 of donations. Eight volunteers clean the portable toilet at Front and Laurel streets on the days the city couldn’t do it. India Joze donates hot water. The city is now paying to clean it once a day, Mondays through Fridays. The volunteers, including City Councilmember Micah Posner, do it on the weekends.

“First of all, it’s for the basic sanitation of our downtown core,”

says Adams. “We have a homeless population; we have an after-bar population peeing everywhere. But really, it’s to offer basic dignity to people who have no access to public restrooms. There are only two locations the city offers. It’s basic dignity. People have to go to the bathroom, then the city should offer plentiful places for that to happen.

I think that’s where activists like us and Take Back Santa Cruz have some overlapping agreement.”

The city has taken another step toward cleaning up the human and dog waste problem downtown. It contracts with Shane Klein, who operates a poop-scooping business called Uncle Poop. Klein patrols the city picking up excrement, and also responds to calls from businesses and residents. He does his patrol on a bicycle with his scoopers and cleaning supplies on a trailer.

Klein says he’s picked up more than 3,000 poops in his first year dealing with the city. He also cleans up yards, operating through his site unclepoop.com.

In May, the city paid him $50 a day for 10 patrols and $225 for nine calls.

He picked up 14 piles of human feces from places on and around Pacific Avenue. He picked up 169 dog >18

they needed and the Air Force had to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber?’” says McHenry. “So we decided to buy some military uniforms and told people we were trying to buy a bomber.”

“We have three principles,” says McHenry. “The food—which is always vegan or vegetarian—is free to anyone without restriction: rich or poor, stoned or sober. There is no central location or leaders, so each chapter is autonomous, and we’re dedicated to nonviolent social change. We’re not a charity, we’re seeking to transform our society so nobody has to live outside of it.”

Today, the Santa Cruz chapter—founded in 1992— continues to serve free meals at

the downtown post office from 4-6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

“On Saturdays, you’re guaranteed a hot meal,” explains volunteer Abbi Samuels. “On Sundays, we combine with different groups, so it’s more of a potluck.”

At 7 p.m. this Sunday, FNB will protest Santa Cruz’s sleeping ban, along with the homeless shelter’s loss of funding, followed by a camp-out at the steps of City Hall.

“For anyone in Santa Cruz who has negative feelings toward the homeless, my wish is for them to spend two hours out here, because they might leave with a different perspective,” says Samuels. MAT WEIR

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JULY 15-21, 2015

This year marks the 35th anniversary for the all-volunteer, nonprofit free-meal service Food Not Bombs. What began with eight activists in Cambridge, Massachusetts feeding the homeless in 1981 has grown into a global movement with thousands of chapters.

In 1986, Keith McHenry and his wife moved to San Francisco, where he organized the first West Coast chapter. However, the liberal sanctuary didn’t live up to its reputation, and FNB soon met its first snag in a long line of legal troubles.

“On Aug. 15, 1988, 45 riot police arrested me and eight other people in front of Golden Gate

Park just for serving free food,” he recalls.

Although FNB wasn’t established until 1981, the idea was conceived on May 24, 1980, when Brian Feigenbaum—one of the original eight—was arrested for protesting the Seabrook Nuclear Station in New Hampshire.

Feigenbaum’s friends immediately threw bake sales to help him raise bail and legal fees. From the very beginning, the activists wanted to engage the public through information and street performance.

“Back then, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom had a poster that read, ‘Wouldn’t it be a beautiful day if the schools had all the money

FRESH TAKE Santa Cruz officials are trying to help eligible residents get CalFresh food stamps.

JULY 15-21, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

STAMP OF DISAPPROVAL <13

Department Senior Health Manager Leslie Goodfriend. “Their voice on the recording acts as their application signature when it gets referred to us to judge eligibility.”

Before this innovation, the process could take weeks. A person submitted an application, waited for a phone call or letter, came in to the HSD offices for an interview, and often had to come back for a second meeting to provide the proper paperwork if they did not have it all lined up from the start. This whole process could take weeks, and put pressure on the county workers handling the claims to meet their own deadlines to approve or decline an application.

“This also helps with homeless people who are trying to get CalFresh who may not be able to get to the Emeline office,” Goodfriend says. “This has cut down on our no-shows for appointments and sped up the process.”

Every group in the Benefits Collaborative Campaign is also using the Internet to narrow

the nearly two-to-one divide between those in poverty and those receiving food assistance.

Until this outreach push, groups that distribute food privately, such as Second Harvest Food Bank, were seeing their lines grow over the years, knowing that many of them could get CalFresh benefits if the system were simplified. Now mybenefitscalwin.org is picking up some of the slack. Groups including Live Oak Community Resource Center, Mountain Family Resource Center in San Lorenzo Valley, and the La Manzana Community Resource Center in Watsonville have been leading people through this site to expedite their applications, which are automatically forwarded to the Health Services Department to be approved or declined.

“The [nongovernmental organizations] said it was complicated, and wanted to provide

assistance to people using this site,” says Goodfriend. “They can also lead them through the process of getting health insurance at the same time using mybenefitscalwin.org or coveredcalifornia.gov since they have all the necessary information at the time.”

The disparity of people living below the federal poverty line versus those receiving nutritional assistance looks more grim when the relative cost of living in Santa Cruz is added into the equation.

Goodfriend and Coonerty say it’s sometimes a challenge just convincing people that they are eligible for CalFresh. The stigma attached to any form of welfare is alive here, and many people don’t want others to know they get help when they are paying for groceries. The switch from paper food stamps to Electronic Benefit Transfer cards identical to debit cards has made many more comfortable with the idea.

There are a number of myths attached to food stamps, and the Human Services Department has been distributing flyers attempting to clear up these misconceptions to partner groups. The flyer’s first attack is on the word “welfare” itself—Santa Cruzans are apparently not immune from the American instinct to grow queasy at that word.

“Myth: CalFresh is a welfare program,” the flyer reads. “Truth: CalFresh is a nutrition assistance program designed to help individuals and families buy nutritious food when money is tight.”

Another myth is that people with jobs are ineligible. Given the income limits for qualifying—$1,915 per month for a single person, $3,255 for a family of three—many more than the 14 percent of Santa Cruz residents living in poverty are eligible.

poops in the same time period all over downtown. He says that after 10 years working in pet care, he can definitely tell the difference.

“I love this city, and its feels good to know that I might help prevent a visitor to Santa Cruz from stepping in a ‘land mine,’ or having to see a huge puddle of vomit outside the ice cream shop,” says Klein, who moved here from Peoria, Illinois in 2010 with his wife and three boys. “I do occasionally get a big thanks from someone, which feels really good, but honestly it’s enough just to know that I’m providing a service that makes a difference.”

Comstock says his service is a big relief.

“We hear about it from business owners,” says Comstock. “They come to work and there is a big pile of excrement in their doorway. It’s a big problem for the owners and for people who want to come downtown to shop.

If you see people openly defecating, that’s a Third World problem. It’s absurd to see that happening in our community.”

Comstock has studied what other cities do, and has seen that some put up artwork in the restrooms with eyes in the pictures, of people or dogs.

They say that discourages people from abusing them.

Councilmember Richelle Noroyan wonders if the city could follow what she saw in Europe, where there were attendants in public bathrooms by the Eiffel Tower and the Coliseum in Rome.

Patrons were charged a euro to use them, but if someone couldn’t afford it, they were still allowed to go, she says.

“That would be expensive, but it seems to work,” Noroyan says. “Going to the bathroom is a basic function every human being needs to do, tourists, homeless or housed.”

In Santa Cruz, public toilets have been clogged with Coke cans and sinks have been pulled off walls, something that concerns the city’s staff and council. The council voted unanimously to pay for the threemonth trial. Now, says Comstock, the public has to make it work.

“Hopefully, they will be respected,” says Comstock. “One major expensive incident could ruin it for everyone.

I’m hoping that by opening up the facility we can find a way to encourage respectful behavior.”

POLISHING A JEWEL Meet the players behind the multi-faceted push to reshape Watsonville’s downtown

L

and community engagement that has given rise to new projects like the Watsonville Film Festival, the Digital Nest and a communitywide mural project that is literally reimagining the city, block by block.

In addition, special events like the city’s first-ever Open Streets in May, community dog walking and bike rides, and a food truck gathering in the city’s downtown that brought more than 400 people to the area, has demonstrated that residents are hungry for revitalization, and will come out to support it.

City Councilmember Felipe Hernandez (of no relation to the author), who represents a section of the downtown district and organized the community bike rides, dog walking and food truck events, says that he wanted to help create a sense of community at a time when many people work long hours and may not have the opportunity to engage with their neighbors.

“I always thought other people should do these events or the city should do them,” he says. “But the city is strapped and [the events] are free, so why not do them myself?”

ike a giant rousing itself from a deep slumber, downtown Watsonville has come alive with the sound of jackhammers and earth-movers.

The old commercial center and heart of the town is undergoing radical change—old buildings coming down, new ones going up— while a city plan to make a section of Main Street more walkable with expanded sidewalks and reduced traffic aims to provide new direction for a district that has foundered under the weight of the recession and the loss of redevelopment funds.

But the new construction, including the controversial addition of a McDonald’s at the end of Main Street near Riverside Drive, is just part of the story.

While Watsonville is still feeling the effects of the economic downturn— MAPPING Furlough Fridays are still IT OUT in effect at city hall, and Santa Cruz artist the city council recently Kirby Scudder's cut funding to some artistic social programs—the rendering of gloom of recent years has Watsonville. also managed to spark a spirit of collaboration

THE PLAN “I like the idea of the demonstration project and having longer conversations on getting local control of Highway 152,” says City Councilmember Karina Cervantez Alejo, whose district contains a section of downtown that runs from the city plaza to the Pajaro River, about the city’s plan.

As it is one of the higher-density districts of the city, with multifamily homes and apartment complexes, Cervantez Alejo supports the idea of making a section of Main Street in her district more pedestrian-friendly.

“A more walkable downtown would be a boon to our community, having more places for people to gather and sit,” says Cervantez Alejo. “We also have a lot of public safety issues because it is an area with a lot of traffic, and there have been many unfortunate accidents with pedestrians.”

The plan, which has been in development for two years, would be undertaken in phases, with the first phase impacting a section of Main Street, from Beach Street to First Street.

On July 1, the city held a public meeting to show the community the latest artist renderings of

the streetscape improvements.

The designs showed a section of downtown transformed with expanded sidewalks, benches for people to sit on, colorful crosswalks that also serve a dual purpose of slowing traffic down, and droughttolerant plants in purpose-built planters to add a bit of greenery to Main Street. The plan also calls for a major reconfiguration of traffic, cutting down the thoroughfare from four lanes to two.

The city estimates the costs for this initial phase at just over $500,000, for which they have allocated funds. The subsequent phases of the project would require additional funding. Economic Development Director Keith Boyle told the filled room—many of whom had attended similar meetings over the last couple of years—that the implementation of the first phase would help the city in securing additional grants for the remainder of the project.

“Many communities are doing what we are proposing now, and those that have done it are very successful,” says Boyle.

Dana Henderson of Union West Builders drew comparisons to cities like Morgan Hill, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Campbell, Cupertino and Los Gatos that have all implemented

THE PLANNERS “There are so many people willing to work to create something different,” says Kimberly Lacrosse, community

organizer for United Way Santa Cruz County and program director of Jovenes SANOS, a youth advocacy group that focuses on health and nutrition.

She is sitting at Second Street Café in downtown Watsonville before the June 2 Planning Commission meeting, where the owner of 85 Taco Bells, including the existing one in Watsonville and the downtown Santa Cruz location, will be applying for a special-use permit to construct a 1,629-square-foot drive-thru restaurant on a vacant lot on Watsonville’s Main Street.

The city council’s controversial decision in October to remove the drive-thru restrictions in the city’s zoning code to allow the owner of two McDonald’s in Watsonville to erect a third on lower Main Street got the attention of successful Taco Bell franchise owner Monica Schneider of Golden Gate Bell, who, along with developer S.G. Ellison of First Street Development, came to make their pitch.

That evening’s presentation to the seven-body board included design plans and results from a traffic study—which did not factor in the proposal to cut that stretch of Main Street from four lanes to two—that stated the new restaurant would have no impact to existing traffic, as well as economic benefits estimated at $100,000 in tax revenue for the city per year. A significant portion of the presentation was devoted to explaining the nutritional value of Taco Bell food. The applicant’s powerpoint presentation

similar street modifications.

For nearly two years, Watsonville city staff has been discussing with CalTrans the possible relinquishment of the section of Highway 152 that runs along the city’s Main Street. The city has long argued that the highway has impeded development of the downtown corridor and created a fast-moving thoroughfare that is unsafe for pedestrians and serves to direct people away from downtown rather than to it.

At the meeting, interim city manager Marcela Tavantzis asked the crowd if they wanted to still move forward with the first phase of the Main Street modifications if the Highway 152 relinquishment never happens—and if, after weighing all the costs, it would not be feasible for the city to obtain local control, and the plan, with its colorful sidewalks and outdoor seating, would be limited to just the part of Main Street where the city has jurisdiction.

Before she could even finish her question, the crowd answered with an emphatic “Yes!” The plan is not without its critics, however. Concern over the traffic component of the proposal prompted a divided City Council to approve only a three-month trial period of the reconfiguration on July 7.

namechecked the local youth advocacy program Jovenes SANOS and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 Healthy Eating Options Ordinance, which requires new businesses to provide a certain number of healthy eating options in order to obtain a building permit.

According to the ordinanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system, in which new businesses receive points for each healthy option on their menu, Taco Bell surpassed the minimum number of points needed to gain a building permit.

When it came time for public comments, however, Megan Joseph, director of community organizing for United Way Santa Cruz County, which runs the Jovenes SANOS program, lamented that the ordinance, introduced as a way to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reduce health issues related to unhealthy eating habits such as diabetes, heart disease and being overweight,â&#x20AC;? was being used by fast-food retailers, including the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently under construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we see that [the ordinance] is being implemented in the way it is being implemented, we are disappointed in its outcome. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what we intended,â&#x20AC;? Joseph says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taco Bell meeting its requirements is not a victory for the health of fast food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symptom of it not operating in the way we or our youth in Watsonville intended.â&#x20AC;?

Watsonville institution for decades before it closed in 2012.

The demolition makes way for a new mixed-use commercial/ residential property, with shops on the ground floor and 54 units of market-rate studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments on three floors above.

Called The Terrace, the property will extend over into an empty lot, also owned by Hansen, and have a number of desirable features, including an enclosed courtyard and barbecue area, swimming pool and hot tub, and outdoor fireplace.

Hansen expects the project to be completed by summer of next year.

Around the corner from where The Terrace will be, the city’s second AutoZone is currently under construction at 17 West Lake Ave., next to the Resetar Residential Hotel, once the grandest on Main Street.

The two-story, nearly 9,000 square-foot auto parts store is being constructed on 24 parking spaces owned by Hansen.

“This will be the first two-story AutoZone in the country,” Hansen says. “They [AutoZone] are extremely excited about this, as it will enable them to put some of their stores in an urban environment, where space is limited. So they will be able to build the two-story prototype that is being designed here.”

GT asked Hansen if there was any movement at the vacant Gottschalk’s building. The nearly 80,000-squarefoot building at the corner of Main and Beach streets has been empty since the retailer went bust in 2009. The loss of downtown’s “anchor store” means less foot traffic to the downtown district, impacting the overall atmosphere of the downtown and the neighboring businesses that relied on the draw of the department store.

“It’s a unique situation,” says Hansen, who purchased the property in 1995. The original owner of the building, the Charles Ford Company, filed for bankruptcy in 1992 after doing business in Watsonville for over 140 years. “It’s a large space,

and we don’t want to pull the trigger on the wrong sort of tenant. We want the community to benefit from a real retailer.”

A challenge to that aim, he adds, is that a lot of the retailers that can occupy a space that large aren’t really interested in a downtown environment. “But,” he says, “it is changing.”

In the last two years, as the economy has started to improve, he says, commercial or industrial properties that had once sat empty are being filled.

Indeed, Watsonville officials recently announced that FedEx would be relocating their sort terminal to Manawbe-Ow, an undeveloped industrial site on the city’s west side near Highway 1.

At almost 200,000 square feet, the project would be large enough to absorb the infrastructure costs necessary to get the rest of the industrial park online and available for a further 500,000 square feet of development, says the city’s

economic development manager Kurt Overmeyer.

Hansen says the lack of commercial space is prompting retailers to look again at the downtown core, and he is optimistic about the fate of the Gottschalk’s building.

“We are holding out. We don’t want to put in a substandard retailer and have them for one year, two years, three years, or five years. We want to put somebody in there that will serve the community for the next 10, 20, 30 years,” Hansen says.

In the meantime, he agrees with the idea of the downtown plan but also wants other downtown property owners and merchants to “step it up a notch or two.”

“We maintain all of our properties,” Hansen says. “If we see graffiti, it is gone immediately.

We have maintenance personnel on staff. We are on it all the time. I want to make sure that people are maintaining their buildings. So when there is a potential business, tenant or property buyer coming in to town, it is appealing and looks nice.”

While downtown property owners are responsible for maintaining their own buildings, the Watsonville Police Department recently organized the city’s first community-wide graffiti removal effort, which again brought in dozens of volunteers to remove tagging at parks and buildings along the Walker Street railroad tracks. The city aims to implement a scheme where groups “adopt” a segment of the city to help keep graffiti down.

The next item, Hansen says, is to fill any existing vacancies in the downtown corridor with quality tenants, so there are a variety of stores and options for residents—a sentiment repeatedly expressed by community members. Two years ago, Civinomics surveyed residents and those who work downtown about what they want to see in the district. More entertainment options and restaurants topped the list.

To that end, the city is reviewing the possibility of establishing an Entertainment District to help fund and support more entertainment

venues in the downtown, and also change the way in which the city grants alcohol licenses, which is very stringent and limits the types of restaurants or tasting rooms that may want to set up shop in the district.

A new crop of organizations are making a difference, too. Providing free access to digital tools and technology skills to young adults from 12 to 24 years of age, the Digital Nest will be moving from its current location off Green Valley Road to downtown Watsonville in the coming months.

“We see the Digital Nest as a central and accessible spot for people to gather, and downtown should be that,” says Digital Nest executive director Jacob Martinez. With 370 young people from Watsonville and outside the area, including Santa Cruz, Salinas and Mountain View counted as card-carrying Digital Nest members, Martinez is excited about the move and what it means for downtown Watsonville.

“They are already coming to Watsonville to access top-of-the-line

technology,” he says. “Now they will be coming downtown.”

The success of the Watsonville Film Festival has also brought attention to downtown.

"I am finding that the way to make change in Watsonville is by bringing people together to work on specific projects around art, culture, fitness and education,” says WFF Director Consuelo Alba.

“When people get involved, they get inspired, and naturally want to see improvements that end up impacting the political results."

But Hansen says none of these attempts to revitalize Watsonville can succeed unless residents and visitors take it upon themselves to discover what makes the downtown worth saving in the first place.

“People need to come down and experience what downtown is like, as opposed to viewing and judging from afar,” says Hansen. “It’s a jewel, with the plaza and a lot of the historical features of the buildings. And slowly but surely we will have more eating establishments and new retailers.”

Rod Serling’s vision gets new life with stage adaptations in Santa Cruz BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

ver the next month, DNA’s Pop Up Comedy Club will elicit plenty of giggles and guffaws, but for her part, director Miguel Reyna went with something a little more disquieting.

The Twilight Zone Live On Stage, opening July 24, will feature adaptations of two episodes from

HOT TICKET

Rod Serling’s original TV anthology show, “Midnight Sun” and “The Howling Man.” “This is going to be off-putting and disturbing, and that’s what I like about the Twilight Zone episodes—they kind of move your center around,” says DNA. Thankfully, Santa Cruz generally

embraces the unconventional, says Reyna, who brings a certain fanboy element to the project, having seen every episode of Serling’s show several times over in reruns.

“When I was a little kid, my mom went to work late at night and she wanted me to record the episodes,” says Reyna. “Here’s an 8, 9-year-

old kid watching the show for the first time, blowing my little kid mind. I think that was one of the first things that really blew me away.”

That’s why in this stage adaptation, he’s sticking to the script. He wants to portray the show so authentically that if >32

<30 Serling himself walked in and sat down, he’d approve.

Not only did Reyna have to choose episodes that were easily adaptable to stage, he also wanted to focus on two that will resonate with today’s audience.

In “Midnight Sun,” a young woman and her neighbor fight to survive after the Earth has changed its orbit and is rapidly getting closer to the sun, creating a dramatic spike in global temperatures. Neighbors move away in fear, townspeople ravage the supermarkets for supplies, Walking Dead-style, strangers break into homes—it’s a near-apocalyptic world where resources are running out and water is increasingly limited.

Reyna chose the second episode, “Howling Man,” because the protagonist, Dave Ellington, is confronted with a question of evil’s existence—“on a much deeper level, there’s a lot of stuff going around right now, [like] the shootings in Charleston,” says Reyna, that make the question still relevant today.

Serling and the other writers for the original late-’50s, early-’60s TV show were incredibly forward thinking, agrees Alie Mac, who plays Norma in “Midnight Sun”—an artist living alone who proves stoic in the face of a harsh new reality.

“Seeing how independent she was for a ’50s woman—they wrote her as a single woman rocking her life, and I think you can relate to that in 2015,” says Mac. “She’s holding out on her own. To me, it was refreshing to see a woman’s character written as strong as she would be today.”

Science fiction has often had an uncanny way of providing storylines, characters, and fears that transcend their time period, says Reyna. Bringing the narrative to theater makes it that much more pertinent in a way that television

simply can’t, says Mac. “When you’re watching TV, you can eat your Twizzlers and pause it, go to the bathroom,” she says. “But with live stage, it’s these human emotions that are going to come through right at you.”

Comedy and theater help us process the world and all its darkness, says DNA. As part of the Pop Up Comedy Club, which begins July 17 with comedy performances of all sorts running through Aug. 1, the “Last Late Night Show” will start immediately after each Zone performance. It plays with musings on a last-night-on-Earth theme, featuring comedians from the Bay Area scene. Because if you’re going to go, you might as well go laughing, right?

For most people, it takes a lot journey outside the norm; it’s easier to grow roots into the couch, hearing Netflix ask every so often, “Are you still watching?” and getting a small thrill when “good plans” become cancelled plans.

That’s exactly why Reyna and DNA want to get people out of that comfort zone and into … the Twilight Zone.

“There’s always that sense of expectation that something is not quite right, what is going to happen?” says DNA. “It’s good to question, the best thing you can do is question—questioning the confederate flag, questioning racial identity, gender identity. We live in a world of questioning, so we want to provide the framework for people to look through and see what’s going on and to laugh, or at least be entertained.”

Twilight Zone Live On Stage is at 8 p.m., July 24, 25 and Aug. 1, Center Stage Theatre, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. For full list of shows, visit standupsantacruz.com. Tickets at brownpapertickets.com.

ORDER UP Trula Hickman of Sentinel Printers with a batch of pamphlets freshly printed for UCSC. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Fresh Print

A

petite blonde with astonishing eyes, Trula Hickman presides over a domain that has one foot in historic craft and the other in digital detail. The domain is the 150-year-old Sentinel Printers, where Hickman and her husband Neil Hickman keep watch over presses, printers and a steady stream of eclectic jobs.

“Once upon a time this sort of work required typographers, graphic designers, paste-up artists, people who burned film to metal plates,” says Hickman, holding a handsomely embossed silver-foil printed placard.

“But the industry evolved and now

it can all be done by essentially one designer and a press.”

Attention to detail rules at Sentinel Printers, owned for the past eight years by the Hickmans.

Micro-managing artisanal work, the business has flourished in the midst of an online world. At her consultation desk, Hickman displays a glossy photographic history book—a showpiece project—as well as an array of colorful note cards made from woodcut and silk-screen originals. Catalogs, postcards, wedding invitations, marketing brochures— jobs range from tiny to very large.

The Sentinel Printers’ 75-yearold Heidelberg windmill letterpress

grabs lots of attention from sidewalk passersby. It can do everything from foiling to basic binding techniques.

“It’s very reliable,” Hickman says with a smile. And it does all of the shop’s richly embossed, elegant letterpress work. “We do a lot of custom work because we are very hands on, and we each have extensive print backgrounds,” she says.

Hickman admits that people are often surprised that the small shop can handle large orders, such as a recent 50,000-postcard run. “But no job is too small,” she says.

Hickman is proactive about running as green a shop as possible.

Environmental consciousness is

everywhere. “We use recycled paper, we even recycle the end scraps of our printing runs, and the metal plates we use. Santa Cruz is a very supportive community,” Hickman notes, as we tour the shop. “People here value shopping locally, and we work with a lot of local artists who appreciate the craftsmanship we offer and the personalized attention.”

Hickman has helped to develop Retro Novo, an artists’ collaborative specializing in small works of art using letterpress and lithography.

The samples she displays are familiar to me from such local retail outlets as Stripe, New Leaf and the Museum of Art & History. The boldly colored results resemble miniature woodcuts and watercolor artworks.

“This way people can have a limitededition piece of art,” says Hickman.

Faced with online competition for printing services, Hickman stresses the hands-on service and custom finishing for each project.

“My clientele wants high-quality, fast turnaround, and the opportunity to see a proof before the final run,” she says, raising an eyebrow for punctuation. “Here they can choose papers, ink colors, styles—we can run samples and color correct.”

I check out the impressive Heidelberg Speedmaster printing press, busy with a complicated fourcolor label job for Nordic Naturals.

At another station, a brochure for UCSC is being finished. “This is the booklet maker, it folds, stitches and trims,” says Hickman. In addition to the two Heidelbergs, a computer console makes adjustments to color and shade, and a “guillotine cutter” breaks down paper with scalpel precision. In the far back, a darkroom develops and makes the press plates. Running a tight ship is obviously part of the fun. “There’s no downtime,” Hickman says.

Hickman’s favorite part of the work is interacting with customers.

“I work to make sure they have what they want, and I can usually help suggest ways for them to think about possibilities to maximize their order,” she says. “And I’m still excited about the variety of printing projects we handle, especially working with artists and graphic designers. Every day is different.”

READY TO ROCK Matt Meyers, Makai Hernandez, Bobby Marchessault, Kiana Hamzehi, Kara Jonsson and Alexi Baker in Cabrillo Stage’s ‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’

Cabrillo Stage musical ‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’ maximizes the fun of cult TV touchstone BY LISA JENSEN

34

I

f you grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the ’70s or early ’80s, you’ll love Schoolhouse Rock Live!, the first production in Cabrillo Stage’s summer musical series. The source material was not a cartoon series in the traditional sense (like, say, Rocky and Bullwinkle, whose theme song is referenced in the preshow audio montage). Instead, the original Schoolhouse Rock was a series of Public Service Announcementtype animated shorts that played in between the long-format cartoon series on Saturday morning TV, from 1973 to 1985.

The shorts were educational. In each two- to three-minute segment,

funny cartoon characters would feed lessons disguised as catchy songs to a vast audience of unsuspecting children. There were multiplication songs and grammar songs, and memorable ditties about science, history, social studies and civics.

And because little kids are sponges (especially when it comes to songs), these tuneful lessons helped propel an entire generation through their first 12 years of public school.

In the early 1990s, someone got the bright idea to repackage some of this material into a live-action stage musical revue, and Schoolhouse Rock Live! was born. The vivacious Cabrillo Stage production, directed

and choreographed by Andrew Ceglio, proves to be a terrific vehicle for introducing a new generation to these often irresistible songs.

With its 25-member ensemble cast, it’s also a great property for introducing young performers to the stage. The show was produced in cooperation with Ceglio’s Spotlight Youth Conservatory, which provides professional theatrical training to local performers age 10 to 17.

Ceglio lets them strut their stuff in this show. The book (by Scott Ferguson, Kyle Hall and George Keating) features Tom (Bobby Marchessault), an elementary school teacher so nervous about his

impending first day teaching a new class that his psyche divides into six separate personae, to help with all the worrying. To calm down, he turns on the TV and finds an old episode of Schoolhouse Rock—and, instantly, Tom and his five alternate selves get in the groove, performing 21 vintage songs, abetted by a cast of capable kids.

Among Tom’s alter egos is the appealing Matt Myers as George, singing a sweetly rhapsodic “Three Is A Magic Number” and “Zero, My Hero.” Kara Jonsson has a great voice and lots of verve as alter ego Dori (singing “The Preamble,” among many others). Makai Hernandez is terrific as alter ego Joe, especially in the tonguetwisting pronoun song, "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla."

Alexi Baker is a crowd pleaser as alter-ego Shulie, notably in her goofy-sweet rendition of “Unpack Your Adjectives.” Kiana Hamzehi is commanding as alter ego Dina, leading the company in a robust ode to the 19th Amendment, “Sufferin’ Till Suffrage.” And the six of them make a fabulous sextet in the ’50s doo-wopinspired “A Victim of Gravity.”

Among the greatest hits of the TV series, the funky, bluesy “Conjunction Junction” gets a bang-up treatment complete with trains. And ensemble member Siena Stearns delivers the classic “Just A Bill” with plenty of moxie, as a bill “stuck in committee,” who dreams of becoming a real law— as timely a song as ever, given the current Congress. These songs are so rooted in pop culture, it’s no wonder half the audience was singing along on opening night.

This production makes full use of the show’s cartoon origins. Skip Epperson’s simple set is a geometric backdrop whose components turn around all through the show to reveal colorful graphic images highlighting the songs. Fanciful trains, boats, and animal masks figure in many songs, and Maria Crush’s wardrobe of pastel shirts for the grown-ups and primarycolored tees for the kids convey a sense of fun without getting in the way of Ceglio’s fleet and frisky pacing.

The Cabrillo Stage production of ‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’ plays through Aug. 8 at the Crocker Theater, Cabrillo College. For more information call 479-6429, or visit cabrillostage.com.

MUSIC Speaking of dark times, not long after 9/11, Dengue Fever played a show in San Diego, and Chhom Nimol was arrested.

We were playing at the Casbah with Jonathan Richman. Coming home that night, my brother was driving with Nimol and she was arrested because her papers weren’t up to date. That was because of that code orange time we were living in.

You’re learning to play the flute?

I found a flute in the road. We have a song on the new album about it, “Golden Flute.” I was driving and I looked down out my window, and there was a flute in the road. It was a really good flute, made by Haynes in the ’70s. As I was looking for the owner, I saw it as a sign from the universe that I should try to play the flute. I found the original owner and his name is Ernie Fields Jr. He plays with some of James Brown’s old band members. He gave me a few lessons and ended up buying me a flute as a gift for finding his flute.

YOU GIVE ME FEVER Dengue Fever plays Don Quixote’s on Friday, July 17.

Musical Tag JULY 15-21, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

U.S. troops brought rock music to Cambodia; Dengue Fever is bringing it back BY JOHN MALKIN

36

R

ock bands often combine musical ingredients to create new sounds and styles, but Dengue Fever is probably the first to popularize a melting pot of American and Southeast Asian rock ’n’ roll. Now 10 years old, the Los Angeles-based six-member band is currently touring with their fifth full-length album, The Deepest Lake, including a local gig at Don Quixote’s on July 17.

Singer and songwriter Zac Holtzman spoke with GT about the evolution of Dengue Fever.

How does Dengue Fever fit into the history of rock music in Cambodia?

ZAC HOLTZMAN: The Cambodians were inspired by the psychedelic rock, garage, British and surf music being broadcast to the troops [in the Vietnam War]. They added their own thing to it. We heard what they’d made and we were like “whoa!” It’s like a game of tag that goes back and forth. I guess we’re it now! [Laughs.]

We’ve been back to Cambodia about five or six times as a band.

You also found Dengue Fever’s lead singer Chhom Nimol in Cambodia. How was she affected by the violence of the Khmer Rouge there?

Her family had to flee and live in a Thai refugee camp. Her sister,

Chhom Chorvin, didn’t make it out, and they didn’t know if she was dead or alive until they heard her singing on the radio. When Nimol was a little girl, she heard her sister singing on the radio and her mom said, “That’s your sister! She’s on the radio.” Nimol was so young that she thought her mom meant that her sister was tiny and really inside the radio. We wrote a song about this and called it “Sister in the Radio.”

Part of that story is that her sister was being forced to sing nationalist propaganda songs on the radio.

Yes, dark times.

There’s a song on ‘The Deepest Lake’ that has male and female vocals that reminds me a bit of early L.A. punk like The Alley Cats or X. What role has punk played in your life?

Punk shows were the first shows I ever went to—Bad Brains and X. We did get this sort of X-style harmony where two notes are riding on each other, but fighting each other at the same time. That’s our song “Rom Say Sok.” It’s based on a Cambodian mythological woman who has magical hair with the ability to suck up oceans.

At one time you were on Peter Gabriel’s label, and then you created your own record company Tuk Tuk Records.

How’s that going?

We’ve always been self-produced.

We were on Real World Records.

Having your own label takes more work, but it’s more rewarding. Over the years we’ve seen mistakes that people made, and we try not to make those. We try to not do things like blow $10,000 to fly us out to play South By Southwest (SXSW) because it’s turned into such a big, crazy circus that it doesn’t make that big of a difference. I love going to Texas, but not during SXSW.

WEDNESDAY 7/22 FIRST ‘AMERICA’S CUP’ YACHT SAILS Remember the sleek aerodynamic trimarans whizzing about in the San Francisco Bay back in 2013, the crew in Daft Punk spacesuits, the hull oftentimes airborne? That was the America’s Cup 2013, and Wednesday, July 22 nautical enthusiasts can step aboard the yacht that started it all—or at least, a 139-foot replica of it. In 1851, the original America won the legendary sailing race around the Isle of Wight and secured the trophy that henceforth bore her name, the America’s Cup. Dockside tours and a sail aboard the America will be available as part of the America’s Cup Tour sailing up the Golden Coast.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

BIG STONE SOUP Big Stone Soup is a brand new band, but its members go way back together.

Keyboardist Steve Sofranko met guitarist Jerry Brown back in 1988 at a Grateful Dead concert in Maine. Both of them had been following the Dead around and hit it off, and drove back to the Bay Area together. Once there, Brown helped Sofranko get his keyboard out of storage, and they have been playing music together off and on ever since.

As for guitarist Matt Hartle, he’s been in the mix for well over a decade. So even though they didn’t have a lot of time to practice for their first show last April, it didn’t really matter.

JULY 15-21, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Musically, we can all just finish each other’s sentences,” says Sofranko.

46

Hartle and Sofranko, for instance, are also in the Grateful Dead tribute band China Cats, as well as Spirit of ’76 (another Dead tribute band), so they make a point not to cover Dead songs in Big Stone Soup. Their originals fall into the category of blues-psychedelic rock and complex jam-band tunes penned by Hartle and Brown. Their covers are an eclectic array of rock, reggae and soul tunes by artists such as Talking Heads, Derek and the Dominos, Traffic, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Peter Tosh and Ray Charles.

Whatever the song, they have their own approach to it.

“We like doing covers, but they’re not note for note reproductions of any songs—not even close to that. We definitely have our own interpretation—a very funky, loose, danceable, grooveable interpretation of a lot of these classic tunes. It’s not a real modern style. It’s a throwback to the ’70s kind of vibe,” says Sofranko. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, July 18. Don Quixote’s, Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 603-2294.

WEDNESDAY 7/15 BLACK METAL

FALSE Spewing from the bowels of the tormented land known as Minneapolis, False is the one of the latest of the American black metal bands that have been redefining music since the genre’s resurgence a few years back. Their wailing screams resound in a relentless pit of guitar destruction and blast beats, delivering the perfect headbanging cacophony; even NPR had to take notice in 2011 with False’s untitled debut EP. Lucky for Santa Cruz, False just released its first full-length album last month, adding a whole new batch of moshable songs. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 pm. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

THURSDAY 7/16 HAWAIIAN/JAZZ

KAHULANUI HAWAIIAN SWING BAND Hawaiian swing music? Yeah, I did a double take, too. But, it makes sense.

In World War II, American servicemen stationed in Hawaii brought with them their love of Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and the big band swing movement. As the style blended with the local music, a new sound emerged that has been passed down through generations on the islands. Kahulanui, a nine-piece band from the Big Island, is part of that swinging lineage, playing classic Hawaiian sounds in big band style. CAT JOHNSON

His unique brand of upbeat, acoustic-guitardriven roots-rock is full of expressions of gratitude and the thoughts of a seeker trying to balance life in the 21st century with a longing for peace and simplicity. On the heels of a serious staph infection, Hall is back on the road, touring his new album, Kala, a project exploring his time as a healer and teacher.

A sparkling pianist and supremely suave singer who’s lost none of his rhythmic authority, the 83-year-old Cole is a late bloomer. With a vast and varied treasure trove of songs at his fingertips he’s spent the past three decades making one fantastic record after another in an array of instrumental settings.

When she was 9, someone videotaped her singing Jimmie Rodger’s “Blue Yodel No. 6” at a Tennessee flea market, and the video went viral. (And can she ever yodel that tune!)

FILM

NET WORTH In ‘Self/Less,’ Damian, played first by Ben Kingsley, trades his old body for a new, younger one, played by Ryan Reynolds. But at what cost?

Just Not Himself Sci-fi thriller ‘Self/Less’ doesn’t live up to director Tarsem Singh’s potential BY RICHARD VON BUSACK the personalities of great men whose minds outwear their bodies— “Einstein, Edison, Steve Jobs” (Apple has product placement galore in this film). Phoenix has secretly pioneered the new tech of “shedding”—taking personalities and inserting them into new bodies. Damian dies, and in his new form (as Ryan Reynolds) he carries out a life of pleasurable dissipation.

Damian must turn up regularly to have a prescription refilled by the silky physician (Matthew Goode) who oversaw the personality transplant in his New Orleans clinic.

If Damian doesn’t take the pills, he has flashbacks and disturbing dreams.

These convince Damian that this body came with a ghost in the machine.

Phoenix’s gun-wielding employees do their mortal best to ensure the newlytransplanted tycoon doesn’t find out about his host-body’s past.

Self/Less is the most straightforward, present-day set movie Singh has made, with no touch of fantasy other than the sci-fi “shedding” machinery (even this looks plausible: it’s not much bigger than an MRI). Singh has a Nicholas Roegworthy taste for contemplating the various angles of a scene, for zeroing in on steel and chrome and glass. The gilded Manhattan penthouse the old Damian inhabits looks appropriately decadent—half-way to Sadaam’s golden fortress in The Devil’s Double.

Panning the camera aboard a truck from on top of a Louisiana levee, he establishes the isolation of a lone rural

SELF/LESS PG-13; 116 min.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JULY 15-21, 2015

B

y any name and any copyright, Self/Less is John Frankenheimer’s 1966 film, Seconds, a second time around. It’s another disappointment from director Tarsem Singh that is, once again, likely not his fault.

At a comic convention a few years back Singh told the audience that his Immortals was a case of creative differences: his producers wanted Zack Snyder and Singh had wanted Caravaggio. Has something like this happened again? Did Singh want Kubrick, and did the producers want an action movie?

Ben Kingsley is Damian, a dying real-estate tycoon informed of the existence of the Phoenix Corporation.

For a mere $250 million, it saves

house that comes under siege from ruthless men. (It’s the preamble to an authentically tough shootout.) While it’s not an insanely expensive movie, Self/Less changes its scenery often— you feel like you’ve seen two sides of the world.

It’s also blessed with authentic work by Natalie Martinez as Madeleine, the woman once married to the original owner of Damian’s new body. Martinez’s reaction to the first sight of her presumed dead husband exemplifies what’s meant by the expression “the actor nailing that take.” Her reaction is as rapid as a gunshot.

Reynolds’ blank Canadian likability is best in the early scenes—he’s like a film noir sap and he begins to be treated like one. Self/Less’ best line is from a Phoenix company enforcer: “I know you’re disappointed. You thought you bought a new car and it turns out to have a few miles on it.”

But the script by Alex and David Pastor (the 2009 Carriers) peters out after the second act—when it frames the problem and identifies the villains, all that’s left is to carry out the too easy solutions.

Many critics have a hobby of making excuses for M. Night Shymalan—this space prefers to save its chips for Singh. Singh’s work in Immortals (2011) and Mirror, Mirror (2012) have been real retina candy, with costumes by the late Japanese designer Eiko Ishioka.

It’s been almost ten years since Singh’s The Fall (2006), the film that suggests this director may someday flabbergast the world. The Fall was about a crippled and suicidal inmate (Lee Pace)—a stuntman at the dawn of Hollywood cinema in 1916— recuperating at a hospital as he spins a story for an injured child (Cantinca Utaru). It was like a Terry Gilliam film, concerned with the primacy of fantasy over reality—it’s as if Joan Didion’s “We tell each other stories in order to live,” were paraphrased to “We tell each other stories to keep from going mad.” Singh’s baroque impulses may quarrel with the ability to do all the things a commercial movie is supposed to do. But in Self/Less, this movie with no good reason to be made, you certainly don’t see a dead talent, or one that’s giving up.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK ANT MAN For those who didn’t grow up reading the Marvel comic, the idea of a guy with the ability to shrink to the size of an ant sounds like the opposite of what you’d want to have happen in the middle of a scuffle with an evil villain, and at the risk of sounding trite, with Paul Rudd as the leading superhero? OK, maybe non-Comicon goers won’t understand until they see it, but hopefully Rudd’s comic relief ability will round out his backstory as a cunning con man and complement Corey Stoll as his nemesis, Yellowjacket, and Michael Douglas playing his guru, Dr. Hank Pym. (PG13) 117 minutes. Starts Friday.

MR. HOLMES He doesn’t wear a deerstalker cap, and he prefers cigars to a pipe—who even is this Sherlock? Ian McKellen rewrites the role as a Sherlock Holmes who wants his truth to be revealed—as a man nearing the end of his years, Holmes is haunted by an unsolved case that led to his retirement. With a truly superb cast, it’s a new twist on the old tale, with all the knowing nuance and structural sophistication that diehard fans would demand. It also goes against the grain of recent leading men who have sexed up Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic character (Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, to name a couple). Bill Condon directs. Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, and Hiroyuki Sanada co-star.

(PG) 104 minutes. Starts Friday.

NOW PLAYING AMY The story of Amy Winehouse is a tragic one, of dark genius and tortured soul—and in case her untimely death and all too public struggle with fame didn’t break your heart enough, here’s a new look at her life that will devastate and inspire all at the same time. An homage to her talent as a singer and songwriter, the talent that swiftly enthralled an entire industry, this documentary features unseen archival footages and unheard tracks in a tapestry that has been called “a rush of joy and grief.”Asif Kapadia. Amy Winehouse, Mitch Winehouse and Mark Ronson co-star. (R) 128 minutes.

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.

THE GALLOWS For those of us who can stand to watch scary movie trailers with the volume on, this looks one of those horror films that offers exactly what it says it will: throwback Blair Witch-ish style hand-held camera shots following a group of teenagers who explore a small town school in an attempt to resurrect a failed show 20 years after a “horrific accident.”

Students try to honor the dead on the anniversary of the school tragedy, but

they apparently learn some things are better left alone—kind of like Blair Witch wannabe remakes. Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing direct. Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, and Ryan Shoos co-star.

(R) 81 minutes.

INFINITELY POLAR BEAR Writer/ director Maya Forbes‘ directorial debut and arguably Mark Ruffalo’s most complex, beautifully layered role to date, Infinitely Polar Bear explores the inarguable difficulty of living as a manic depressive man in a time when it still wasn’t openly discussed—and making the decision to be a stay-at-home dad when it was socially unheard of. Ruffalo plays a father of two girls who agrees to stay home while Zoe Saldana pursues her dream at Columbia University in an artful look at mental disorders and the ins and outs of being a dad. Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, and Imogene Wolodarsky co-star. (R) 90 minutes.

INSIDE OUT In the tradition of Toy Story 2 and Up, comes Inside Out, a Pixar movie so smart, so crammed with ideas, and so full of genuine emotion, it reinvents the whole idea of what an animated movie can be. (Oh, and it’s really funny too!) Directed by Pete Docter, its premise is that each individual person is governed by a mission control center in the brain where five key emotions constantly jockey for position. A foul-up in the control booth temporarily disconnects the 11-year-old protagonist from her personality, and intrepid emotion Joy (Amy Poehler) must trek through the adolescent brain to set things right—a journey both hilarious and moving in this accomplished joyride of a movie.

(PG) 94 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen.

harrowing times of Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, narrows its focus to two pivotal moments in Wilson’s life. Paul Dano is terrific playing the younger Brian in the mid-1960s, at the height of his creative genius, and John Cusack is surprisingly effective as the ’80s-model Brian, under the thumb of controlling psychotherapist Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti). And it’s all connected by the music, a fabulous, gluttonous feast of Wilson music, from surf tunes to Smile, that informs every single scene. (PG-13) 120 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

MAGIC MIKE XXL Oh the very, very thinly veiled layer of sexual innuendo that oozes—no, explodes—from this “dance comedy.” But, hey, who can argue with abs, abs, abs?

Channing Tatum (who really is a great dancer, guys) is back from stripper “retirement” to the daily grind with his best buddies, the Kings of Tampa.

On their way to a stripper convention, no less, Magic Mike (Tatum) is joined by veteran dancers Big Dick Richie, Tarzan, and Ken (who didn’t get a creative stage name?) and some fresh faces as they thrust their way towards one last blowout performance.

And while it’s worth noting that a movie about a tight-knit group of female strippers would never be this successful at the box office, it’s a film for the giggles and the blushes and squeals of delight—like going to a male strip club, only cheaper and probably with better indoor climate control.

Gregory Jacobs directs. Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

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.

MAX Trained as a precision military dog, Max served on the frontlines of Afghanistan with his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott until things go terribly awry and Wincott is mortally wounded. Traumatized by the loss of his best friend, the canine is unable to return to service and thus shipped stateside to Wincott’s family where the fallen soldier’s brother develops an unlikely bond with the four-legged veteran. Boaz Yakin directs. Thomas Haden Church, Josh Wiggins, and Luke Kleintank co-star. (PG) 111 minutes.

LOVE & MERCY Bill Pohlad’s generally absorbing fiction film about the amazing life and

MINIONS Jon Hamm said recently on The Daily Show that Minions are just as appealing to adults

as they are to children because “they look like capsules, they look like pills”—and he might be right, sort of. Who can possibly resist the googly-eyed, squishy yellow Minions whose shape is somewhat … comforting? Finally, the makers of children’s films have figured it out—that, and the sly adult jokes that in the Minion nonsensical garble, which somehow makes perfect sense and no sense at all, are completely hilarious. This time around it’s the origin story of the adorable single-celled yellow organisms, seeking their evil villain leader from the dinosaur age to the present where they find Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) who, with her husband Herb Overkill (Jon Hamm), hatch a plan to steal Queen Elizabeth’s crown—and then take over the world, naturally.

Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin direct.

(PG) 91 minutes.

SELF/LESS Reviewed this issue.

(PG-13) 116 minutes.

TED 2 The lovably foul-mouthed teddy is back—and this time, he wants to produce a spawn of his own (terrifying, we know). However, as anyone who’s survived a trip to Build-A-Bear knows, the insides of a Teddy are not conducive to reproduction, hence why Ted asks John to provide the goods.

What ensues is a typically hilarious battle for civil rights (“we’ll take it all the way up to Judge Judy if we have to”) so that Ted can prove he’s a human and keep the child he’s always wanted. Seth MacFarlane directs. Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane, and Amanda Seyfried co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

TERMINATOR: GENISYS It would be hard for a Terminator film to be lamer than Terminator: Salvation, which was perhaps the first movie in history to make killer robots boring (just kidding, Chopping Mall! You blazed a trail.) The trailers for the annoyingly spelled Terminator: Genisys at least make it look like it will be weirder, although nice job spoiling the big twist, dumbasses. Anyway, Arnie is also back as the timetraveling robot assassin who used to be badass until he started saying things like “Why do you cry?” Duh, I cry because they won’t stop making Terminator movies.

TRAINWRECK Amy Schumer said on a recent episode of the Graham Norton Show that when she wrote Trainwreck she assumed they’d cast some skinny, blonde model type for the lead.

Thank the goddesses they did not.

Schumer brings her own completely bawdy brand of crass dudeness and uncensored shenanigans that only she can bring. Playing herself, she systematically takes down one gender stereotype after the next as she tries to escape a “real relationship” with Bill Hader despite their obvious chemistry. The classic roles of “player” and “sensitive-type” are reversed as Hader’s character attempts to pin Schumer down, with the help of LeBron James as what we can only assume is the best BFF ever. (R) 125 minutes. Starts Friday.

Probiotics with bite from Ozuké, plus baking workshops at Companion Bakeshop BY CHRISTINA WATERS

O

zuké pickled veggies— future-forward foods from Boulder, Colorado—have captured our fancy. Like many of us, we are now consumed with the need for probiotics and fermented condiments, like kimchi, kraut and pickles. We currently adore the electric-purple beets, dulse and kale—an intensely delicious slaw of the earthy root, the supple seaweed and the superstar antioxidant. The founders of Ozuké—whose products are organic, kosher, raw, non-GMO,

vegan, probiotic, you get the idea—call this particular one of their fermented delights “meat for vegans.” A few clicks less pungent than full-on sauerkraut, our favorite Ozuké potion is tangy and chewy. Ridiculously appealing, this wonderful stuff—$7 and change for a 15-ounce jar—is practically addictive. Tart and yet somehow a softer, sweeter shade of tart, it is a lovely, minerally seasalty concoction that goes well as a complement to other greens, rice, and, yes, with all kinds of meats—especially

grilled chicken. There is nothing in the jar but beets, kale, garlic, dulse seaweed, and sea salt. That’s it. And its fermentation means that it will beef up your immune system with every bite. Long life in a jar? You be the judge. We love it. At New Leaf and other progressive emporia. Next, I’m going to dive into a jar of Ozuké’s Kale & Collard Kimchi. Even though many of you are getting into the make-yourown fermented veggies trend, some of us have day jobs. Which is why I’m thrilled to have found out about these

gorgeous crunchy, chewy, aromatic probiotics.

Also, a reminder that New Leaf now carries Companion Bakeshop breads, including the spectacularly fragrant “Local Loaf” made from locally grown wheat from Coke Farms.

If you’ve got kids around the house this summer, you might want to turn their thoughts to baking.

Remember how much fun it was to mess with pie crust in your mom’s kitchen? Consider bringing them to the July 19 Kid’s Summer Pies and Tarts class at Companion Bakeshop on the Westside. (From 5-7 p.m., the event is $65 for one child under 12, and one adult). They’ll be thrilled learning to bake their very own pie from scratch. You can expect lots of hands-on fun, plus new skills that can be used all year long. Companion Bakeshop’s Summer Workshops continue on Sunday, July 26 with a class on baked specialties that are perfect for long lazy breakfasts and brunch-themed parties—from scones to quiche, and back. On Aug. 16, fine-tune your pie technique with a workshop on Summer Pies and Tarts. This class will help you perfect your crust and learn to choose the right fruit in its prime season for pie perfection. Companion’s Sunday Workshop series continues with two classes in August, one in September and a gluten-free pastry technique workshop in October.

Stay tuned. Meanwhile, sign up for workshops in the shop or online at companionbakeshop.com. All classes are held from 5-7 p.m. at Companion Bakeshop, 2341 Mission St., and are priced at $65. Except for the Kid’s Summer Pies class, all classes are for 12 years of age and older.

WINE OF THE WEEK Quinta Cruz Tempranillo 2012—it’s hard not to love this brilliant and complex New World Tempranillo, made from Pierce Ranch grapes and loaded with sage, spice and a huge middle of black cherries and cranberries. Outstanding with pork, pasta, and grilled salmon. It’s another coup for winemaker Jeff Emery, who continues to taste and bottle outside the usual varietal parameters. $18 and up.

Chianti Classico Riserva from the heart of Tuscany BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chianti, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marchese Antinori Chiantiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a definite cut above.

The gorgeous 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva, produced by the Antinori family, reveals its superiority from the first sip.

Rich bold fruits leap out of this ruby red wine; cherries, raspberries and redcurrant, with delicious touches of licorice and vanilla, too. This vintage comes from the Antinori familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tignanello estate in Tuscanyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and one can almost feel the Tuscan sun ripening the voluptuous fruit.

At a recent dinner at the upscale restaurant Pèppoli at Pebble Beach in the Inn at Spanish Bay, where Antinori wines are prominently featured, I was smitten with the Marchese Chianti ($78 in the restaurant). It paired perfectly with the Northern Italian cuisine of Pèppoli, where impressive gastronomic delights are expertly prepared by Angela Tamura, chef de cuisine. Try an incredibly delicious grilled filet mignon with roasted cannellini beans, house bacon and Mariquita Farm greens paired with the Chianti, and your taste buds will thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only for the culinary treats, but also for the rose petals, mint, spices, and red berry flavors in the wine, complete with floral silky finish.

Pèppoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tuscan-style dishes are

paired with the widest selection of Antinori wines outside of Tuscany.

Marchese Piero Antinori has been called the most important winemaker in Italy, receiving awards from Wine Spectator for seven years in a row.

Sitting right on the bluffs with views of the ocean and golf course bar none, the Inn at Spanish Bay is in one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous locations.

Add incredible food and wine to the mix, and one couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more.

FUSION REACTION Adbeen and Jamie Karam of Café Hanna, with lamb souvlaki. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Café Hanna New Scotts Valley spot has a unique take on Greek BY AARON CARNES

A

dbeen Karam has experience with Greek food. Not only did he grow up eating it at home, but his family owned a couple of restaurants in Palo Alto and Santa Clara. So when he opened Café Hanna a month and a half ago, he wanted to offer something a little different, specifically tapping into the lesserknown dishes his grandmother made him when he was a kid. He considers the new menu “Greek fusion,” not 100-percent traditional. We spoke to Karam, who co-owns Café Hanna with his wife Jamie Karam, about Scotts Valley’s newest restaurant.

ABDEEN KARAM: My grandmother is Greek and she married someone who is Syrian, so she took some of it and modified it a little bit.

Souvlaki is typically on skewers. I used my grandmother’s recipes for the souvlaki, but when it came to cooking it, I’m cooking a whole chunk of meat and slicing it. That makes it a lot easier to eat in a sandwich. I’m taking the souvlaki, this herby taste of the meat—the only spice we put on the souvlaki is the pepper—and I’m putting it on a more Middle Eastern bread than the traditional Greek pita.

The Greek pita is not the best pita out there. My favorite is this Iranian pita,

What are some of the unique dishes on your menu?

The kind of restaurant I’m trying to build here, it’s something like you would go to somebody’s house and eat the food that they would serve you at home. My employees go crazy for the eggplant sandwich. We take eggplant and we marinate it in olive oil and bake it. And we use extra virgin olive oil. The Rhodes Rolls, I think more people like that than anything else. We take roasted chicken, then we sauté it with onions, then we roll it in thin bread and bake it. So the chicken is cooked three times. People are always asking me, are you sure this is chicken?

Dog friendly patios 831.662.9899

What’s for dessert, besides baklava?

I do a Zeus power bar. I ate this as a kid. There’s sesame seeds, almonds, pistachios, coconuts. We only put enough sugar to hold the bar together.

We also do a really nice mykonos fruit salad. We take the oranges and squeeze it fresh at the shop and marinate the fruit in it for a couple of hours and put a honey yogurt on top.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LIGHT IN THE MIND

On July 15, at the new moon (no light), something called Jade Helm 15 (July 15 – Sept. 15) will be initiated in the United States.

Strategic military maneuvers in western and southern states, and a massive surveillance of the United States people. It’s important we know about these things. The keywords on the Jade Helm logo are, “Mastering the Human Domain.”

It’s A.I. (artificial intelligence) being tested to monitor humanity and to make decisions based on the information gathered. See the July 10 article on my Facebook page, which can be accessed via my website nightlightnews.org, concerning Jade Helm (the name’s innocuous) and why it’s important to be aware.

This is our last week of Cancer. On Wednesday, July 22, on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, the Sun enters Leo. Before

Leo arrives, let us understand Cancer more. Everyone’s astrology chart contains the sign Cancer. Every sign has three developmental stages humanity sequentially progresses through.

Here are Cancer’s developmental stages: 1. At first, we are selforiented, self-absorbed and self-important (personality building). 2. After many lifetimes we awaken to our environments (Earth, families, friends) and become sensitive to others.

3. Then, one day, under the soul’s light, we “identify” and are united with the whole (which means holy) of life. Filled with the soul’s light we become the “light of the world.” With this light, we “build a lighted house for humanity and invite humanity home.” We dwell there, too.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Notice your many and various goals this past year. You’ve climbed the ladder to a pinnacle in order to reach those goals. You have become, over time, very potent (Pluto).

Notice your new authority, one that is finer-tuned, more responsible and aware of the importance of serving others. These are great accomplishments though they feel like great challenges. You’ve done well. Continue.

Judgment, criticisms and anger from past experiences determine life in our present and future. Consider changing your thoughts. If you desire freedom, the first is freedom from the past. Before entering the Earth we make contracts with family members. Each family member will act in such a way that our evolutionary growth moves forward. What seemed so difficult was really a door toward liberation. Have the intention to always radiate forgiveness and goodwill. Choose to love more.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 15, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Each day you demonstrate your true self, an illumined teacher during times of change and transformation, crisis, stress, and strain. Actively pursuing a “call,” you barely have time for other realities. Continue speaking with those sharing your concern for humanity’s future.

Your resource in helping humanity understand our challenging times is communication. You have created a “garden” of needing-to-be-shared information. We listen, learn and are grateful.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

GEMINI May 22–Jun20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Show others how you value them. Offer praise and recognition to everyone, all the kingdoms, and for everything in your life. Each of us is blessed with creative gifts and abilities. Your gift is communication and love.

What you offer helps others grow, transform, achieve, evolve and grow more. Your gifts move humanity forward spiritually. It’s a contract you made long ago.

With the Soul, (Ray 2).

A new world stage prepares itself for you. Sagittarians are publishers, world travelers, philosophers living in no one’s shadow. In fact, these adventurous warriors create shadows that others stand in. You continue to be at the very edge of change. However, that change is not quite prepared enough for you. Maintain your present direction and state of being.

Doors open gradually by themselves. Surprises ahead.

You may feel work takes time away from family. Your task and lesson, difficult as it may seem, is to balance the two—work and family. The more difficult this task, the greater the test and initiation (greater awareness, greater responsibilities). Do you have visions for a different future? Or have you given them up? A new identity is appearing with new dreams and visions. Watch for them.

LEO Jul21–Aug22

Expanded communication and creativity, full and rich, are being informed by the journeys taken. Share, write about and communicate your thoughts and experiences.

Simultaneously, set aside moments of silence each day for yourself. Allow those you trust to understand your strengths and weaknesses. You are and are not an island. Don’t confuse the two. They are one. However, island life is good for you.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Inner impressions are informing you to take time alone and rest. Focus upon closeness and communication with those you love. More love is then returned. You might unwind from your extraordinary states of responsibility.

We award your constant standards of beauty applied to all areas of life. Know that communication may be difficult (Neptune/Chiron). Try anyway. Speak from the heart. Other hearts listen.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Your life has assumed greater and expansive dimensions. You’re being asked to love more. So many dreams, inspirations and thoughts moving through your mind yet hidden behind a veil. This brings forth great emotions. Attempting to express yourself, you find communication difficult, tangled with sadness. You remember many things from the past. All your travels, loves, journeys. You gather them in a jewel box of memories. You become Vesta.

Realities appearing in life begin with hopes, wishes, dreams, and imagination. Form and matter are shaped by what we imagine until one day our dreams are materialized. Attempt to clarify what is important to you, what you want to pursue, and who you want to be in the years to come. Sometimes this is difficult. Some of us live only in the moment. But within each moment there is a vision for our future. Capture and ponder upon it.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

A deep-hidden creativity is building within. For many years to come, creative ideas will appear. You’re being impressed from spiritual realms to bring forth your artistic creative nature through prayer, meditation, spiritual study, group work and sharing resources with others. You are to garden and collect seeds. Doing so helps express love to all kingdoms. Suspend crystals in each window.

You may have plans for the immediate future. They may change. There is a collaboration occurring with you and another. Pursuing this will bring about a synthesis that will take you far into the future into a world very different than expected. Understanding the present planetary changes, you “seek to serve and not exact due service … seek to heal never hurt.” But at times you are hurting, which deepens compassion for your particular task and Pisces duties in life.

Have you always shopped here? Yes, I first shopped here as child with my mother. I was the oldest of many children. At 14, Mother would send me to the store and I’ve been cooking ever since. We ate healthy foods, and I was taught to shop the perimeter of the store, eat before shopping, and bring a list.

Now, I mostly bake. I love making breads — I long to be an artisan bread maker — and old-fashioned traditional desserts: fruit galettes, gingerbread cake, cream pies, pudding, and more. I love that Shopper’s carries Clover milk; and their dairy products are an important element to my baking.

Do you live on bread and dessert? Add wine and that’s all I need! Speaking of wine, I like Shopper’s selections from local wineries. For dinner parties, I’ll get a variety of cheeses — in small sizes — and make a creative salad that may include shaved fennel, different lettuces — always wonderfully fresh — various mushrooms, and more, oh, and served with good wine. For breakfast, when guests stay the night, I’ll pick up bacon and breakfast sausages, and make muffins. I like all of Shopper’s meats such as Mary’s air-chilled chicken, ground turkey, and their beautifully arranged crown roasts make a delicious dinner.

You prefer to shop local? Yes. Most people realize that the money stays here and benefits the community. I really like that you’re able to find everything you need in a relatively small market — it’s the perfect size. I love the customer service as you build relationships with the people who work here and you get to walk on these wooden floors! Shopping here is gratifying; it’s a rich and splendid experience, in a world that’s too-fast moving, with too many choices of things we really don’t need.
