OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I’ve seen pictures from FashionART for years, but it wasn’t until I actually went to the show last year that it fully made sense to me. And when I say “made sense,” I mean the whole point is to stop making sense.

Like an experimental novel, or an abstract painting, watching one crazy design after another paraded down the runway has an actual effect on the brain. FashionART challenges our notions of what’s possible in both fashion and art, and the physical sensation of having those expectations subverted is kind of exhilarating. I could see other people around me having the same

BEYOND BIASES

Some of the things written by one of your readers (9/16) blatantly show the disrespect, ignorance and bigotry that exists in our community, especially toward the homeless. These people actually believe that some don’t deserve to sleep at night, and that they should instead be harassed by the gang of police and Take Back Santa Cruzers, who, to me, cause more fear than any homeless person I’ve ever encountered.

They do not acknowledge the facts that can actually solve the homeless problem, because they simply don’t understand how it works—and because they simply think homeless people can’t be helped, and need to be gotten rid of.

A sanctuary camp is a brilliant idea.

Collaborating with a free food kitchen like Food Not Bombs could solve two of the most basic necessities, with the cost being zero dollars. Food Not Bombs runs on food donations that people are happy to give away, because it would all go in the trash can otherwise.

People naturally begin to help themselves when they are not struggling for their basic necessities or having to steal snack foods from a store. The solution is by far simpler than anyone who opposes it might think. I have a feeling Jim Sklenar doesn’t believe

experience as each new outfit drew smiles, looks of disbelief and even cathartic gasps and laughs.

That’s why it makes sense to me, in Anne-Marie Harrison’s cover story on this year’s event, when FashionART mastermind Angelo Grova says he approaches the whole thing with a go-big-or-go-home mindset. We certainly don’t have anything else like this event for fashion in Santa Cruz, but, more generally, we don’t have many communal events like this of any type, where our local artists can have their work seen and collectively appreciated on a huge stage by the community.

I wish there were more, for artists of all types. But in the meantime, I’m going to get my FashionART fix again this weekend.

in climate change, nor does he realize that he is actually part of the problem that he hates— creating more homeless by his fear of helping them. It’s sad, like the nightmare apartment building they plan to build above the Metro.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ALOHA, PACIFIC RIM FILM FEST It may be closed, but definitely not forgotten. I have many fond and appreciative memories of the extensive range of fine films I would never have even heard of, let alone seen for free, but for the PRFF. Are you sure there's no possibility of a renaissance? PRFF’s passing was a major loss for the intellectual life of the Central Coast. Auw? No Ho'i ?!

GOOD IDEA

GOOD WORK

ONE TO GROW ON

COUNT THEM IN

The Cannabis Cultivation Choices Committee just started meeting and will try to hammer out marijuana regulations for the county by mid-December without getting lost in the weeds. For the sake of reference, the city’s Water Supply Advisory Committee has been meeting for a year and a half, and its public safety task force took six months. So getting this squared away in just three month is ambitious. Leave it to a bunch of pot enthusiasts to get organized and work on a tight schedule!

With classes at UCSC about to start, some incoming students have dodged something of a scare. The university rescinded admissions for a record 520 students this past summer for missing deadlines that were sometimes confusing or out of their hands. But UCSC has since made efforts to bring as many students as possible into the fold. Of 370 students who filed appeals, 364 either had them approved or were admitted for winter 2016.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I don’t want to produce a work of art that the public can sit and suck aesthetically. I want to give them a blow in the small of the back, to scorch their indifference, to startle them out of their complacency.”

RE: BERNIE SANDERS

I believe we are living in an age wherein the art of deception is increasingly being mastered by a variety of “interested” parties.

People with doubting attitudes about Bernie’s chances might reflect on this as opinions are carefully shaped through the media.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 23 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22“

You are destined to become a master of fire. It’s your birthright to become skilled in the arts of kindling and warming and illuminating and energizing. Eventually you will develop a fine knack for knowing when it’s appropriate to turn the heat up high, and when it’s right to simmer with a slow, steady glow. You will wield your flames with discernment and compassion, rarely or never with prideful rage. You will have a special power to accomplish creative destruction and avoid harmful destruction. I’m pleased at the progress you are making toward these noble goals, but there’s room for improvement. During the next eight weeks, you can speed up your evolution.

I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth,” wrote author William Faulkner. Some astrologers would say that it’s unlikely a Libra would ever say such a thing— that it’s too primal a feeling for your refined, dignified tribe; too lush and unruly. But I disagree with that view.

Faulkner himself was a Libra! And I am quite sure that you are now or will soon be like a wet seed in the hot blind earth—fierce to sprout and grow with almost feral abandon.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Taurus-born physicist Wolfgang Pauli won a Nobel Prize for his research. His accomplishment? The Nobel Committee said he discovered “a new law of nature,” and named it after him: the Pauli Principle. And yet when he was a younger man, he testified, “Physics is much too difficult for me and I wish I were a film comedian or something like that and that I had never heard anything about physics!” I imagine you might now be feeling a comparable frustration about something for which you have substantial potential, Taurus. In the spirit of Pauli’s perseverance, I urge you to keep at it.

GEMINI May21–June20 In 1921, the French city of Biarritz hosted an international kissing contest. After evaluating the participants’ efforts, the panel of judges declared that Spanish kisses were “vampiric,” while those of Italians were “burning,” English were “tepid,” Russians were “eruptive,” French were “chaste,” and Americans were “flaccid.” Whatever nationality you are, Gemini, I hope you will eschew those paradigms—and all other paradigms, as well. Now is an excellent time to experiment with and hone your own unique style of kissing. I’m tempted to suggest that you raise your levels of tenderness and wildness, but I'd rather you ignore all advice and trust your intuition.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The astrological omens suggest you could get caught up in dreaming about what might have been. I’m afraid you might cling to outworn traditions and resuscitate wistful wishes that have little relevance for the future. You may even be tempted to wander through the labyrinth of your memories, hoping to steep yourself in old feelings that weren’t even good medicine for you when you first experienced them. But I hope you will override these inclinations, and instead act on the aphorism, “If you don’t study the past, you will probably repeat it.” Right now, the best reason to remember the old days is to rebel against them and prevent them from draining your energy.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Santa Cruz Tides

You may laugh more in the next fourteen days than you have during any comparable 14-day period since you were 5 years old. At least I hope you will. It will be the best possible tonic for your physical and mental health. Even more than usual, laughter has the power to heal your wounds, alert you to secrets hiding in plain sight, and awaken your dormant potentials. Luckily, I suspect that life will conspire to bring about this happy development. A steady stream of antics and whimsies and amusing paradoxes is headed your way. Be alert for the opportunities.

It’s a favorable time to fantasize about how to suck more cash into your life. You have entered a phase when economic mojo is easier to conjure than usual.

Are you ready to engage in some practical measures to take advantage of the cosmic trend? And by that I don’t mean playing the lottery or stealing strangers’ wallets or scanning the sidewalk for fallen money as you stroll. Get intensely real and serious about enhancing your financial fortunes. What are three specific ways you’re ignorant about getting and handling money? Educate yourself.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You and I both know that you can heal the sick and raise the dead and turn water into wine—or at least perform the metaphorical equivalent of those magical acts.

Especially when the pressure is on, you have the power to attract the help of mysterious forces and unexpected interventions. I love that about you! When people around you are rendered fuzzy and inert by life’s puzzling riddles, you are often the best hope for activating constructive responses. According to my analysis of upcoming cosmic trends, these skills will be in high demand during the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Some astrologers regard the planet Saturn as a sour tyrant that cramps our style and squelches our freedom.

But here’s my hypothesis: Behind Saturn’s austere mask is a benevolent teacher and guide. She pressures us to focus and concentrate. She pushes us to harness and discipline our unique gifts. It’s true that some people resist these cosmic nudges. They prefer to meander all over the place, trying out roles they're not suited for and indulging in the perverse luxury of neglecting their deepest desires. For them, Saturn seems like a dour taskmaster, spoiling their lazy fun. I trust that you Sagittarians will develop a dynamic relationship with Saturn as she cruises through your sign for the next 26 months. With her help, you can deepen your devotion to your life’s most crucial goals.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The coming weeks will be a favorable time to break a spell you’ve been under, or shatter an illusion you have been caught up in, or burst free from a trance you have felt powerless to escape. If you are moved to seek help from a shaman, witch, or therapist, please do so. But I bet you could accomplish the feat all by yourself. Trust your hunches! Here's one approach you could try: Tap into both your primal anger and your primal joy. In your mind’s eye, envision situations that tempt you to hate life and envision situations that inspire you to love life.

With this volatile blend as your fuel, you can explode the hold of the spell, illusion, or trance.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.” So advised author Ray Bradbury. That strategy is too nerve-wracking for a cautious person like me. I prefer to meticulously build and thoroughly test my wings before trying a quantum leap. But I have observed that Aquarius is one of the three signs of the zodiac most likely to succeed with this approach. And according to my astrological calculations, the coming weeks will be a time when your talent for building robust wings in mid-air will be even more effective than usual.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You are being tempted to make deeper commitments and to give more of yourself. Should you? Is it in your interests to mingle your destiny more thoroughly with the destinies of others? Will you benefit from trying to cultivate more engaged forms of intimacy? As is true for most big questions, there are no neat, simple answers.

Exploring stronger connections would ultimately be both messy and rewarding. Here’s an inquiry that might bring clarity as you ponder the possibility of merging your fortunes more closely with allies or potential allies: Will deeper commitments with them inspire you to love yourself dearly, treat yourself with impeccable kindness, and be a superb ally to yourself?

Great article on a good man! I remember the Tampico and Catalyst days back in the late ’70s of which he speaks. I also was around and training in L.A. in the days of the Long Beach events when Bruce Lee appeared on the scene.

As for Todd’s comparison to Chuck Norris, he might not fight in the ring nowadays as Chuck did during the Long Beach events, but he did his share on the streets and protecting bar patrons in Santa Cruz as a young dude. I can attest to this because he was one of the bouncers with whom I worked at Tampico years ago. I agree with Master Mark Gerry’s

FOR THE LOVE OF DOG A recent study shows that dogs release oxytocin in their owners’ brains, and vice versa.

Canine Cure

T

here is just something about the humandog relationship that transcends the species gap and feels eerily, but positively human. What’s up with that, dog?

A recently published study in the research journal Science shows that humans bond to dogs—and they bond to humans—in the same biochemical way that humans bond to each other.

Associated with feelings of tranquility, warmth, relaxation, and well-being, oxytocin, also known as the “attachment hormone” and “love hormone,” plays a major role

in human behavior and cognition— including childbirth, breastfeeding, sexual arousal and enjoyment, partner bonding, parent-child bonding, social bonding, nurturing, trust, and empathy. The sort of feelings and mood created by acts like cuddling with a child, or staring into a lover’s eyes are at least partly due to oxytocin’s effects. And this April, Science confirmed that dogs and humans can affect each other this way, too.

Conducted by researchers at Azabu University in Japan, the study’s main finding was that when dogs gazed into their owners’ eyes,

BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE the dogs’ levels of the hormone oxytocin increased significantly.

This canine gazing then increased oxytocin levels in the human owners, which encouraged them to stare longer at their furry friends, creating a cross-species positive feedback loop that facilitated bonding. Or, in other words, true companionship all the way down to the biochemical level.

The Science study also looked at wolves, the dog’s closest relatives, and found this eye-contact oxytocin feedback loop did not exist. In fact, the kind of attachment that would probably come from looking

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015

The science behind man’s best friendship

a wolf in the eye is more likely to be its jaws clamped around your leg instead of a wet kiss on the nose.

While previous research has shown that cats are much less dependent on humans than dogs and children, it begins to make sense that humans and dogs seem able to see into each other’s souls when we look at our history together. Over the millennia, humans and canines have developed a symbiotic relationship.

We have, in a sense, domesticated each other. Humans provide dogs with food and shelter, and, in return, capitalize on their senses of hearing and smell—which ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute in dogs than in humans—by using them to help us with tasks like hunting, herding, and protection.

Long known for the assistance they provide to the elderly and blind as guide dogs, more recently, diabetic alert dogs have begun to grow in use and popularity as rates of the disease rise. While more research needs to be done into their efficacy, the idea is that these special dogs can detect when their owners’ blood sugar levels are out of whack, helping the owner manage his or her symptoms and live a healthier life.

There is also a growing trend of “therapy dogs,” canines trained to help people like the sick and disabled, and to treat conditions like anxiety and depression. While some humans might turn up a dry nose to this idea, oxytocin has been shown to reduce fear and social anxiety, and a dog-mediated release may provide feelings of security and even help with conditions like autism. The hormone also reduces inflammation and may even boost the immune system.

The incredible health benefits that dogs can provide their owners are due, in large part, to the activated release of oxytocin in the brain, which reduces symptoms like loneliness, fear, anxiety, and depression. Especially when compared to the harsh side effects of the pharmaceuticals traditionally prescribed for these conditions, owning or adopting a dog is an effective way to “wag more and bark less.”

NEWS HOCUS FOCUS Local videographer helps people save memories for future generations

SEPTEMBER 23-2, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JUNE SMITH

12

At age 88, Capitola resident Doree Steinmann is making memories, but not just her own.

She’s helping others preserve their life stories with her new project, Video Memories; interviews preserved for families on DVDs, to keep as a remembrance. “My career has included interviewing various people about their lives,” says Steinmann, “and now that I’m older, I prefer to interview older people, since I can identify with them.”

The idea for Video Memories came to Steinmann after producing and hosting episode 525 of “Your Second Fifty Years,” shown on Thursday and Saturday at 6 p.m. on Community Television of Santa Cruz.

She has profiled a gardener, librarian, truck driver, teacher, dancer and photographer.

(Steinmann—full disclosure—has also interviewed me, a writer and her neighbor in Capitola.)

For the Video Memories project, she conducts a pair of two-hour on-camera sessions about a week apart, editing between visits to make a DVD. While looking at photos of past and present activities, she gently guides the conversation with questions that help her client remember interesting details. Family heirlooms, pets, travel memorabilia, special collections and other items of interest are included.

Hobbies need documenting, too, so Steinmann will record people making a favorite dish in the kitchen or playing a musical instrument.

Steinmann introduced her new service by offering it as an auction donation for the Santa Cruz Symphony League, for which she once served as president. Jeanne Jensen Shada, owner of Scotts Valley Property Management, was one of the people who bid on the item and won. She praises Steinmann for her expertise during the filming process.

“Doree came to my home and my office.

VIEW FROM THE TOP Leaders of the Coast Dairies campaign want President Obama to make a designation

before he leaves office.

Monumental Decisions Survey shows support for Coast Dairies, but neighbors have more questions BY JACOB PIERCE

T

he rolling hills above Davenport, yellowed by three years of low rainfall, look out over the Pacific Ocean. Pine and redwood trees dot the upper skyline, where the piercing cries of hawks ring out.

“Just wait until there’s water,” says Noel Bock, leader of the Davenport North Coast Association. “It’s just kind of barren right now because of the drought. The views up on the hill are really great, super beautiful.”

This is the Coast Dairies property, owned by the federal government, which Bock worries will be “loved to death” if it gets turned into a national monument—a change the

Davenport North Coast Association opposes, partly due to traffic concerns in a small town that already gets overwhelmed on the weekends.

It’s the same stunning property that Steve Reed, campaign manager for the Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument, would be excited to open up as a federally protected land for everyone to share, a move that would take an act of Congress or a declaration by President Barack Obama—and a lot more planning.

Reed and former Santa Cruz County Treasurer Fred Keeley are promoting a new survey that found 84 percent of Santa Cruz County residents

support the designation of a national monument on the property. That number dropped to 72 percent when respondents were read statements of what supporters and opponents of the monument would say about it.

Reed and Keeley say they used the language of opponents in their survey. But Ted Benhari of the Rural Bonny Doon Association, which has concerns about the project, says he wasn’t crazy about the survey’s wording. The language left out fears about lessening ecological diversity, and he says the survey made it sound like the land wouldn’t still be protected if it weren’t made a national monument. The >14

NEWS MONUMENTAL DECISIONS <12 association is also worried that the Bureau of Land Management, which will be in charge of the land, will be stretched too thin to take care of it. Additionally, Bock says that the state beaches surrounded by the property, which are already neglected by California State Parks, will be greatly harmed by the influx.

“There are some issues that have arisen, and we don’t think they should be dismissed,” Keeley says.

“We can disagree about how much impact this will have on Bonny Doon and Davenport. Will there be increased traffic? Of course. Will there be more tourists? We hope so.

Will there be more trash? I don’t think so.”

Another important question may be one of funding, which isn’t guaranteed by monument status, to provide for the monument’s basic needs. Benhari says that it would still be hard to get any new funding through Congress, but Keeley notes that national monuments get eight times more funding than other federal lands.

Activists say there could be threats to public safety, as the planners did not reach out to Cal Fire or the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office early on to start a discussion.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart notes that he isn’t “in a position to determine whether it’s a good thing or bad thing,” but he is concerned that Cal Fire and the sheriff’s office

were left out of the early stages of the planning process.

Hart says it would cost $700,000 to $800,000 to pay an extra deputy to police the North Coast 24 hours a day. He worries that with steep cliffs, strong ocean currents and the looming threat of forest fires, an influx of thousands of new visitors could pose a huge risk.

Indeed, public safety is something that still has to be ironed out, says District 1 County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, who has a little over 3,000 constituents split between Davenport and Bonny Doon, and has been talking closely with both planners and neighbors. He boils his major concerns down into three areas, “trauma, traffic and >18

As news reports offer images of thousands of Syrians escaping war-torn areas by foot, pushing onto packed trains and risking overcrowded boat journeys, there are some stories with happy endings. The Syrian family highlighted in a GT cover story (“Courage Under Bombs,” Oct. 2, 2013) has now made their way to Germany.

Suha, her husband Toni and their two children fled their birth country to Lebanon, as GT covered two years ago, but they never gave up hope of eventually getting to Europe. “The journey of the last four years was so stressful, yet our eagerness to survive was like a torch amidst the mess,” Suha tells GT via Skype.

The family paid a Lebanese smuggler $11,000 last October to get Toni from Beirut to Germany.

Once Toni was established in Germany, the family was able to receive German visas. After 10 months of separation, the family was reunited in July in Butzbach, north of Frankfurt. Suha says

they sold property in Syria to pay the smuggler.

“A lot of people envied us that we had papers from the embassy and we [could] go by visa to Germany,” Suha says. “Most people are seeking such papers and no country is taking refugees through the U.N., which would be safer than people paying cheaters and bad guys to do smuggling.”

Suha adds that because Toni looks “a bit European” he decided to use a Maltese passport to fly to Germany, via a maze of airports and hotels.

“It’s safer than going [by boat] across the Mediterranean Sea,” she explains. “Toni went through Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, China, Russia, and Austria. He went to countries where you don’t show a visa if you’re European. Every step was difficult; we prayed a lot.”

The update about Suha’s family comes shortly after Germany announced it would be taking in 100,000 refugees a year. The United States announced it would soon begin taking in 100,000 refugees

annually—30,000 more than the current yearly allotment, at least 10,000 of whom would be Syrian.

Suha says that her children, ages 6 and 10, are happy to be safe and secure. German neighbors have offered the family bicycles, babysitters and emotional support. Suha provides translation for newly arrived Syrian families and is taking German classes.

“Here we are in a peaceful land, under a blue clear sky, where there’s no bloody dawns, no more bombs,” Suha says, adding that she hopes to bring her parents and siblings to Germany. “We don’t know what will happen in Europe in the future; there’s a kind of boiling now,” she says. “Does Germany have what it will take to embrace this number of people?”

Presently, Suha is grateful to be in Germany. “You can’t imagine how rich with happiness and serenity I am,” she says.

“After all of our moving, I can say that a homeland is the place where you feel safe. We won’t forget our country, but for now we are safe here.” JOHN MALKIN

QUICK CURE Just two months after State Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) told GT that his “Right-to-Die” bill would go on a two-year track (“Spirited Debate,” July 29), an almost-identical bill is now on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk. Brown has indicated he isn’t crazy about how it got there, but he hasn’t given any signal as to whether or not he’ll sign it.

Lawmakers got the bill passed, thanks to something of a loophole, after Brown called a special session on healthcare earlier this month. In the special session, committee schedules got shuffled, and a few opponents of the right-to-die bill couldn’t make it to an assembly health committee meeting.

So supporters held a vote on the new End of Life Act, and it passed. The bill, which Assemblymembers Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) and Luis Alejo (D-Watsonville) helped introduce, then passed the assembly and state senate. Monning is listed as a co-author. JACOB PIERCE

how their Norwegian-American relatives live—home, family, and business.”

Steinmann films the half-hour show in the person’s home, in a room that best suits their personality. She’s a one-woman show, asking questions while doing her own filming. She was asked to produce the video for local Republican Women's Club president Honora Robertson, who also requested the service for her 91-year-old mother.

Meanwhile, Steinmann is also selling Your Second Fifty Years, a book featuring many interviews from her local public access show of the same name, which she first thought of more than 30 years ago.

Steinmann got the idea for the name 38 years ago when she turned 50. She said to herself, “I don’t look 50, and I don’t feel 50!

I play tennis, swim, ride my bike and feel

better today than I did 10 years ago, both physically and mentally. I expect to live to 100, so right now I’m entering my second fifty years! Science and medicine have given us the quantity of life, but it’s up to us to give ourselves the quality of life.”

Steinmann’s resume is deeply embedded in the arts and media scenes. In 1959, her first TV appearance was as the Storybook Lady on KVIE (PBS) in Sacramento. She later hosted “Women’s World,” which led to her becoming the first woman anchor on KXTV (CBS) in the Sacramento/Stockton market. She tells the story about how she was advised to add red highlights to her dark hair to look better on camera.

She’s kept up the practice, now sporting a strawberry blond tone, a perfect fit for her energetic personality.

After 22 years of teaching Communications Media at Cosumnes River College, Steinmann retired and moved

to Capitola. She taught an eight-week after-school class called “News about Your School” through the SPECTRA Artist Teacher Partnership, and “Acting for the Camera” for Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation.

She loves to produce and edit videos of local events for and about seniors, making DVD copies for the people involved.

For six years, Steinmann chaired the sand sculpture contest for the Capitola Begonia Festival and is now the official videographer for the entire festival. She’s a docent at Seacliff State Beach Visitor Center, teaching second and fourth graders about tide pools and fossils. She volunteers for the Santa Cruz Symphony League, once serving as president, and attends all of the concerts.

Steinmann served as the Lifelong Learners’ president for three years, and is still active. During that time she met her late partner of 14 years, Bob Begun, past mayor of Capitola. Due to their mutual love

of travel, each chose the destination of their annual trip every other year. He often elected to visit Paris, and she’d go anyplace where she could snorkel.

Neighbors watch in awe as Steinmann—who has four daughters, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren—goes to and from daily activities, stylishly dressed in her trademark caftans of both bold and subtle colors. She doesn’t want to slow down, and has just one goal: “To live gracefully and busy until I’m at least 100.”

“As long as I have my wonderful condo, hot tub and the best view of Monterey Bay before me,” she says, “I’m the happiest person in the world.”

Steinmann’s introductory cost for Video Memories is $200 for four copies of the DVD to share with family members, extras at $10. For more information, visit tvdoree@ sbcglobal.net.

trash”—all of which, he says, need to be addressed on the North Coast regardless of whether there’s a national monument or not.

Coonerty has worked with Davenport residents to make sure their concerns were heard. He went to Washington to meet with White House officials, as well as Rep. Anna Eshoo and Sen. Barbara Boxer, who have proposed bills to make the Coast Dairies a national monument. Although each bill is a long shot to pass in a Republicancontrolled Congress, their language would hopefully serve as a template for Obama’s declaration if he makes one, Coonerty says.

Coonerty adds that the proposal is still early in the public process, and there will be more chances for input, including through the Bureau of Land Management, further down the road if Coast Dairies does get its designation.

Keeley and Reed say this is the time to push for a monument, as it’s an action presidents often take as they’re about to leave office.

They say some of the details for the space’s use can be ironed out later.

But that roadmap is the kind that doesn’t sit well with Sheriff Hart, who would rather feel confident that the monument—if there’s going to be one—has the resources it needs. “It’s a lot like building a house without building codes or plumbing or electricity,” Hart says. “You have to have the infrastructure in place.”

Keeley and Reed say they would like to give the people what they want. And according to their poll data, the people of Santa Cruz County overwhelmingly want recreational green space on the North Coast. Keeley notes that when Davenport and Bonny Doon neighbors wanted to help secure the $45 million CEMEX parcel in 1998, he helped secure $6 million in state funding—so, he says, other Californians farther away from the park have a stake in it, too.

“Our view is this,” says Keeley.

“The people of Davenport and Bonny Doon love Coast Dairies.

The people of Santa Cruz, Capitola and Watsonville love Coast Dairies.

There’s a disagreement about how best to love it.”

At Clothes Range FashionART’s 10th anniversary show introduces a new generation of designers on the edge

BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON | PHOTOS BY EMMANUEL LEROY FROM 2014 FASHIONART

T

100 volunteers, says Grova, and that doesn’t even begin to account for the countless hours that the 15 artists and 10 designers need to conceive of their creations, scrounge for materials, clip, chop, sew, stab, pleat, dye—and then put their work on a body. Then there are the models, hair and makeup artists, the collaboration between the FashionART committee and the Civic, ticket sales, advertising—the list goes on.

It’s a carousel that just keeps going, says Grova—a very crazy, very expensive carousel.

“You have to be in love with what you’re doing. Musicians don’t get paid diddly squat, ever!” he says, “It’s the same thing. To make a grandiose thing, it’s hard.”

It’s why other large events, like the Santa Cruz Fringe Festival, haven’t been able to sustain themselves year after year.

There’s plenty of talent, but only so much room for growth.

“I wanted to take the place of what the Miss California pageant was about,

in a different way, because every year it was such a big event,” says Grova. “[FashionART] filled that void in a lot of ways. Economically—people pour out of the Civic, they go to restaurants, coffee shops, go shopping. It makes for a community affair; everybody comes to see it, and it’s building up every year.”

For this year’s 10th anniversary show, which benefits the Santa Cruz Education Foundation, the wearable art and design extravaganza will showcase an entire new generation of designers and artists, sprinkled in with members of the old guard and topped off with the trunk show. Divulging only that there will be the requisite “outrageous” and “dynamic” designs—and maybe, maybe, a well-known guest performer— he’s keeping the surprises, well, a surprise.

GTT spoke with three artists and three designers from this year’s event to get some insight into the method behind the madness that is FashionART:

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015

ucked neatly next to the Public Storage facilities across the street from the Tannery Arts Center, the sidewalk in front of the rustcolored MichaelAngelo Gallery is not particularly wide, nor unusually high. The adjoining parking lot doesn’t look nearly large enough to hold a renegade fashion show with 450 attendees either, but 10 years ago, gallery owner Angelo Grova made it happen—and with it created the most extravagant art-meets-fashion event in Santa Cruz: FashionART. Each year since its debut outside MichaelAngelo Gallery, FashionART has filled the Civic Auditorium’s 1,900 seats, and Grova is proud of what the show has become.

“We started [planning this year’s show] a week after we wrapped the show last year,” Grova says, laughing. As he speaks, he jabs the air theatrically and smacks the table every so often.

“I love the work, everybody loves the work, otherwise they wouldn’t be in it.”

This year alone, the event requires

In 1980, Brooke Davis-Stier stood on the pool deck at Santa Cruz High School, looked down at her team swimsuit and thought to herself, “No. Just, no.” They hardly had elastic in them, were mainly polyester, and cut into all the wrong places. So she went home, took our her Singer, and arrived the next day with her own take on the sport look: leopardprinted and fabulous.

So began Davis-Stier’s career as a swimwear designer, making handmade custom suits from start to finish. She’s sold at local surf shops, made all the suits for Cottontails when they still existed, and had her own “brick and mortar” shop. After raising two children who are now grown, she wants back in the game. For the show, Davis-Stier will showcase 12 suits in narrations of orchids, peacocks, clouds, daisies, and more, complete with trains, feathers, and mermaid tails.

FashionART is uncharted territory for her, as she normally sews for the customer, not an audience. In her runway lineup, as in her business, Brooke’s Beach, she caters to all bodies and all beauties: “The swimsuits that are mass produced, they’re just that—mass produced. Every woman is unique in body, style and energy,” she says. “[For FashionART], I have a sample of all shapes and sizes—it’s a relatable runway.”

“Unless we’re going to turn into a nudist colony, we’re always wearing clothing,” says Lisa Bibbee, “I want to make it less destructive.” That’s why Bibbee’s line for this year’s show is all about “revamping”—with an emphasis on the “vamping.” She’s taking things that once had other lives and giving them breath anew. Most of Bibbee’s work thus far has been in canvas; she has a business called Samurai Seamstress which specializes in interior and exterior marine canvas. But her line for her first FashionART is focused mainly on land and although she wouldn’t divulge any details about the pieces themselves, she did say that the 12 models will be strutting in designs inspired by nature and the outside world: “I work with hard and soft, I try to make a very feminine look,” she says.

Through her work in canvas and fashion, Bibbee wants to push the industry, she says. “You just need to figure out how to do it sustainably and create a living wage.”

TOBIN KELLER In the 10 years that FashionART has shocked, awed and inspired the Santa Cruz art scene, Tobin Keller has missed only one show—he’s been with it since its sidewalk beginnings and appreciates what the city makes possible: “a liberally minded place allows for experimentation and risk-taking.”

“There’s also not that kind of pressure of New York or Los Angeles, and there’s a supportive community,” he says. It’s bittersweet to see the successes start in Santa Cruz, only to eventually leave town, he says.

CHARLOTTE KRUK Kruk collects trash—lots of trash. “I have a collection of just about everything, from everything I’ve ever eaten,” she says. But the difference between her and your run-of-the-mill collector/hoarder (“I think I’m not crazy, but I may seem crazy”) is that she’s saving it all for art. “We’re all at fault, we all share the planet, but some of us are better at conserving,” she says. “If anyone actually stopped and looked at what they consumed in a year, they’d be surprised.” Kruk’s candy-wrapper creations have amassed a sort of cult following after she received a “cease and desist” letter from M&M/Mars in 2001 in response to pieces she had made with M&M wrappers. Her response was doubly defiant, putting all her energy

“I’m taking a great risk, and mostly I end up with a rack of samples,” he says. “We don’t have the infrastructure to support designers.”

As a trained studio artist and now Cabrillo art professor, Keller is putting together a collection for this year’s show that works in tandem with the campus’s gallery space. Hand-printed, hand-dyed and handsewn, the collection is made up of six pieces—some sportswear, leather shorts, some gowns, tunics, some menswear ensembles—and they all tell a story. They tell Keller’s story.

Using pictorial prints, Keller screen printed old photos he found from his family history, dating back as far as the 19th century. “DNA,” as he’s calling it, incorporates images of the genetic blueprint itself with Keller’s thumbprint layered with color prints of his family.

“I put ridiculous amounts of labor into things,” she admits.

M&M/Mars’ letter further motivated her to make art that begs the question: “Don’t we have ownership of our trash?” That’s what this year’s FashionART pieces are about, she says. A veteran artist for the event, Kruk is creating two ballerina-esque, vintage circus acrobatinspired dresses made from Mother’s Circus Animal cookie bags. On one side of the coin, the pieces critique consumerism. On the other, it’s about us: “I’m also looking at how we package ourselves for each other, and more often than not we are more concerned with what’s happening outside than inside.”

In the traditional arashi shibori method dating back to the eighth century, two men wrap silk around a giant log, tie ropes around the log and then lift the ropes—the bark would be removed, and some of the cloth would bubble. Michelle Murray uses that same method, on a smaller scale, with smaller logs (more like poles) and thread.

For her first ever FashionART entry, Murray used the arashi shibori inspirations as a springboard, creating a network of pleats on organza that she dyed by hand. Murray has been making a living as a textile artist for almost 40 years, and her work has evolved and expanded—just like the piece she has planned for the show: “If you stop worrying about the end point and just let yourself go, it’s a very delightful process,” says

It’s a ballgown of sorts, she says, but it’s more about the themes than the physical: a play of opposites, mixing plant-like, skin-like materials with furs and organza. “It’s got a wickedness to it, a feral tweak,” she jokes, gently redirecting questions on what the gown will look like, with a laugh. “I want people to be moved to curiosity or creeped out, torn between beauty and a little revulsion—there’s a darkness in this sort of reality,” she says.

A lot of people are pessimistic about the future, especially when that future will be on the shoulders of modern teens. Not Kathleen Crocetti.

As a teacher at Mission Hill Middle School, Crocetti is inspired by how eco-minded her students are.

“The next generation, they’re more aware and cognizant, trying to be better stewards of the planet,” she says. “That’s why I chose teen models, because they’re better role models in some ways.”

Four teen models represent two vignettes, with each set telling a unique story. For one dress, Crocetti refashioned an antique paisley fabric that her grandmother brought over from Italy, along with feathers from abandoned Mission Hill marching band uniforms. Reclaiming the feathers has many layers of meaning for Crocetti: “Fashion is all about how we present ourselves, and pruning is one of the things that we do— it works with birds and people. We being a consumer culture have more trash than lots of people have good stuff,” she says.

The second vignette, three separate dresses made of sheer organza and threaded with hundreds of feet of fiber optics, are now a year in the making, says Crocetti. Each one represents a different layer of the body: one with muscles, the other with neurological synapses, the last with tissue cluster. With lights on, the audience sees one thing, when they’re off, the scene will be entirely different.

“They’re about the undercurrents that people carry around with them: like when someone approaches someone else and says ‘Hi,’ you don’t know that their dad is dying in hospice, or that their kid was in a car crash,” she says. “[We need to] treat everyone with kindness, because you just have no idea. It’s important to be kind to one another.”

to discuss ways they could use their game strengths – collaboration skills, collective intelligence, crowdsourced problem solving–to help victims and rescue workers. It was a light bulb moment for her. By the end of the year, she had changed her academic

focus to investigate how gamers collaborate, and she’s been taking on big-picture issues through the eyes of a gamer ever since.

McGonigal has developed games for Fortune 500 companies, major nonprofits, and international

organizations, but make no mistake, she aims even higher than that. Her bestselling book Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, lays out a vision of gamers as humanitarians, and points to the transformative >34

You created the online game ‘SuperBetter’ to deal with a concussion that didn’t heal properly. How were you able to draw upon your game skills in the midst of debilitating pain and depression to create something you felt was going to help you?

JANE MCGONIGAL: I had a flash of clarity that I should use my gameful mindset to solve this problem, but I didn’t know what that meant, so I made it up as I went along. The version of the game in the book is the codified, play-tested, validated one that came from half a million people playing it, but the early one was just me stumbling around saying “what can I do today that feels gameful?” Jane the Concussion Slayer became my avatar, and it helped me start thinking about myself as a new persona, someone who would have the strength and courage of a slayer.

In what ways has ‘SuperBetter’ surprised you?

I imagined that if you had a small problem or goal, SuperBetter would be great, but if you had a big one, even more serious than mine, maybe it wouldn’t be the right tool. What we found was the opposite. The more extreme and even traumatizing the challenge, the more effective the game became. People facing huge problems have had tremendous success—some with terminal cancer, a young dad with ALS, survivors of rape and domestic abuse. I spent a lot of time researching why for the book. One thing we found is a phenomenon called post-traumatic growth, which is how wrestling with a trauma that really changes your life, like illness or injury, often leads people to say that they feel happier, braver, and better understood by their friends and family. That’s what the game turned out to be doing.

How does this game help people achieve goals they have trouble with in real life?

When you’re playing a game, making a prediction or taking an action releases dopamine into the brain’s reward

pathways, priming it to anticipate what will happen. Every time you shoot a virtual weapon to hit a target, your brain is primed to learn – if you fail, to get better, if you succeed, to celebrate and lock in that strategy. At SuperBetter, we create opportunities to make predictions or take actions that will result in successful outcomes. On one level, we’re kind of hacking the brain, the same way Candy Crush Saga does when you fail a hundred times in a row, but want to keep trying because that high dopamine says don’t give up. If you can prime your brain to give you that feeling in real-life situations where a goal really matters to you, then you’re getting hooked on striving for things you care about, even when it’s difficult.

Why are video games in particular so therapeutic for certain conditions, sometimes even more than medication?

Certain video games tap into the part of the brain associated with visual processing as well as anxiety, addiction and PTSD. If you’re craving something, you’re imagining it in your mind’s eye, which fuels the addiction. If you have anxiety, you’re picturing something bad happening in the future. With PTSD, your brain is replaying flashbacks of trauma.

Scientists have found that you can block all three by monopolizing the visual processing center of the brain so that you can’t picture what you crave, imagine horrible things happening, or focus on flashbacks.

That’s why video games can work so well for these conditions.

Let’s talk about the dark side. What about when we play too much?

If we’re in denial about how the games we play impact our bodies, brains, and relationships, it’s not a good thing.

The number one predictor of people who become addicted to video games is when they play to avoid feelings like boredom, loneliness, or anger. People who experience the benefits of games play them with purpose, identifying real impacts that games are having on their daily lives.

Jane McGonigal will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 28, to discuss ‘Superbetter.’ She will also speak at the C2SV music and technology conference in San Jose Oct. 8-9; for more information, go to c2sv.com.

Recently released FBI files on Allen Ginsberg inspire Jerry Quickley’s poetry at Days and Nights Festival BY JOHN MALKIN

I

t’s possible that President Barack Obama or C.I.A Director John Brennan will make an appearance at the Days and Nights Festival in Big Sur this weekend. But don’t count on it. “I’d really like President Obama and Michelle to see our performance,” says performance poet Jerry Quickley, who will be featured during the fifth annual festival, established by composer Philip Glass. “I’m also hoping that the Director of National Intelligence and all the other dark lords can either come or send one of their minions. But they act as though I didn’t send an invitation.”

Quickley will be joined by Philip Glass, Dutch harpist Lavinia Meijer and other world-class musicians at

the festival, which runs from Sept.

24 to Oct. 1, and includes a variety of events in three locations, including Big Sur (The Complete Piano Etudes

by Philip Glass on Sept. 27), Monterey (free Children’s Animation Workshop on Sept. 26) and Watsonville (free film screening of Llevante Mis Amores on Oct. 1) to name a few.

“Phil called last year and asked if I’d like to collaborate for the upcoming Days and Nights Festival,” Quickley says. “I was completely obsessed with the horrors of the NSA, and was in the process of writing an essay on the impact the NSA is having on our dignity, privacy and social interactions. I told him, ‘I’d like to collaborate but I’m completely

obsessed with the NSA.’ Fortunately, Philip Glass, being Philip Glass, said, ‘Well, why wouldn’t you want to write about that with me?’ So we were off to the races.”

A former journalist turned poet, Quickley will be on the outdoor stage of Big Sur’s Henry Miller Library on Friday, Sept. 25 to present poetry, including his provocative prose-essay titled, “Memory/Surveillance/Love/ Snowden.” Quickly, who told GT that he’s received death threats due to his outspoken political observations, has previously collaborated with Glass at the Henry Miller Library, where poems of the late poet Allen Ginsberg were robustly recited to appreciative audiences. This year, Quickley

plans on premiering a new section of “Memory/Surveillance/Love/ Snowden” that’s based on the recent release of 89 pages of secret files gathered by the FBI during the ’60s about Ginsberg, who died in 1997.

“Just a few days ago I had my imagination captured by an organization called MuckRock,” Quickley says. “Since 2012, they’ve been trying to get FBI docs on Allen Ginsberg. They got them very recently and released them. I sent a copy to Phil. Here’s this unbelievably gifted man distilled into these government pages. The FBI calls him ‘Bizarre but probably not a criminal.’”

Ginsberg, along with Charles Bukowski, had a huge impact on Quickley. “They opened me to seeing the world through literature and art,” says Quickley. “I’m happy to have the chance to create some work with one of Allen’s close friends [Philip Glass].”

Quickley traveled to Baghdad in 2003 as an unembedded journalist and produced a film about the war from a hip-hop perspective called B-boy in Baghdad and a play titled Live From the Front. Quickley also reported from Iraq for Democracy Now! and was a radio host at KPFK in Los Angeles.

“When you have the most powerful government in the history of the planet deciding they need access to everyone’s information all the time, even if they have no reason to suspect you of anything, there’s a word for that—it’s called fascism,” says Quickley. “I have a responsibility as an artist to let people know that it’s not coming; it’s here.”

“As artists, one of our jobs is to help people imagine a better and more just future,” says Quickley. “Artists are a significant problem for the oppressors of the world. The dictators have figured it out; passionate young people and artists are the bane of their existence and control. Because I’m an artist I still believe in the possibility of magic in the world. I believe it’s possible for the magic created by art to have an impact on people’s thinking, thought processes and even policies. Without magic we’re lost. Without magic there’s only physics, and I need ’em both.”

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Danzig and the intersection of music mythologies BY STEVE PALOPOLI

O

n the telephone, Will Oldham—better known to a generation of music fans as Bonnie “Prince” Billy—is telling me that “it’s very easy to quote certain Danzig lyrics.” As proof, he begins to recite “All Hell Breaks Loose,” from Danzig’s legendary horror-punk band the Misfits: “Walls start closing in around you/My twins of evil/They shake you by the collarbone/Then snap your ribcage/And broken bodies in a death rock dance hall/Please be my partner/Eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat/Veins a-shaking/And all hell breaks loose.”

He pauses for a moment, then says thoughtfully, “I can’t think of anybody else who has written like that.”

Ostensibly, this is Oldham’s explanation of why he sometimes covers the Misfits song “Last Caress” in concert—he’s a “huge, huge Misfits fan” who in the mid80s actually got to roadie and work as a photographer for Danzig’s second band Samhain, which he calls “definitely a life-changing experience.” And the connection goes back even further than that.

“I would mail order directly from him as a kid,” says Oldham, referring to the early Misfits years

when Danzig ran the band’s label out of his house. “And he would throw in these little surprises. When I’m packing orders now, I think of Glenn Danzig.”

The 20-minute conversation about Danzig that ensues may seem tangential to understanding Oldham’s music, but after a while I start to realize that it’s not. That’s what it’s like talking to him—even topics that seem random at first seem to come together thematically.

Everything has a deeper level.

You can hear that, too, in Oldham’s songs, which sonically are hard to explain beyond phrases

like “indie folk” or “alt-country.”

The key to understanding them is in the lyrics, which are intimate and epic at the same time. While most people would consider his music to be nothing like Danzig’s, Danzig’s influence on Oldham’s music is shockingly obvious when you dig just a little under the surface. In the Misfits, Danzig built not just a body of songs, but an actual mythology. As Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Oldham has done that, too. There’s a mystical quality to his best songs, like “You Remind Me of Something,” that’s spiritually akin to Danzig: “Well the glory goes/To those who do not seek it/Reveling in midnight clothes/Among the wicked/Picking scabs from off their skin/And rolling holy deeply in/To the rhythm called the song that does not end.”

I won’t even go into how bizarre it is that that verse can be sung to the tune of “All Hell Breaks Loose”—it’s just one more thematic thread that unexpectedly comes together—but I will say that everything we talked about seemed to keep coming back to the concept of mythology.

For instance, the mythic aura of Johnny Cash, and how it intersected with his own life when Cash covered Oldham’s song “I See a Darkness” on one of his last albums, American III: Solitary Man. Oldham’s song has become such a part of the Cash mythology that the graphic novel based on Cash’s life from a few years ago was called I See a Darkness.

But Oldham himself didn’t really grasp what a big deal that was until he made an unheralded visit to the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville and found the staff wanting to take pictures with him. “I was thinking.

‘My goodness, on some level I’m a part of this,’” says Oldham. “It’s mindboggling.”

That’s not to say he wasn’t bowled over the very first time he heard his words coming out of Johnny Cash’s mouth, on a demo tape. “There’s no overstating how dreamlike the experience was, and continues to be,” says Oldham. “Hearing him sing that, it felt like I’d passed a test that I’d created for myself.”

John Hiatt Uncovered

40

Discovering the singer-songwriter whose songs have inspired the biggest names in music BY JED FRIEDLAND

M

ost people have heard a John Hiatt song, whether they know it or not. They’ve been covered by heavyweights from across an array of musical genres— from Bruce Springsteen to Bonnie Raitt to B.B. King to Iggy Pop. But far fewer have heard Hiatt’s own soul-wrenching renditions of those songs, or discovered his other uncovered work. His one-ofa-kind allegories and classic titles like “Wreck of the Barbie Ferrari” would be worth the price of admission, even if the man never plucked a note.

Hiatt is someone to whom the guitar and piano are incidental, even though he can summon on either instrument an endless variety of what are known in the industry as “killer grooves.” He’s one of a dying breed of crinkly, road-tested storytellers capable of captivating a crowd with little more than personal presence and a mesmerizing bullfrog voice, and he can keep an audience perched at seat’s edge from the first note to the last of a dead-slow ballad that trembles lips and swells tears, then instantaneously has them up and dancing to some ridiculously

simple but inexplicably infectious groove for which there is no cure.

Hiatt’s a workingman’s genius with a razor wit and emotional sensitivity so sharp he’s like a porcupine charging a stampede of hemophiliacs. Yet he’s so subtle you’ll bleed out before ever feeling the initial prick. His uncommon insights are delivered with a Midwestern frankness that leave an aftertaste reminiscent of home cooking.

Whether his chewy hooks are rendered in the vernacular of folk, rock, blues, punk or rockabilly—or in the context of tragedy, comedy

or irony—the results are always impressive.

In 1970, 18-year-old Hiatt moved to Nashville to take a job with Tree-Music Publishing Company writing original songs. Due to his inability to read or write scores, he personally recorded over 250 of these songs in just a few years. While honing his chops and mining for material, Hiatt tapped the mother lode, flexing his superpower as a wordsmith and groove monger.

Over the ensuing four decades, he has amassed a treasure chest of gems that stud 22 albums, at least three of which many consider to be desert island discs: 1983’s Riding With the King, 1988’s Slow Turning and 1990’s Stolen Moments.

His themes start at the junction of function and dysfunction, and dogleg from farm to city with tales of adventure, romance, aspiration and the mundane, before resting somewhere between fallibility and vulnerability. Hiatt comes across as a teacher’s pet in the school of life and a wise and playful troubadour.

Hiatt is a monumental songwriter on the level of Burt Bacharach, Harry Nilsson, Antonio Carlos Jobim, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. He’s a savant of song structure, melody, harmony, poetry, and sonic texture. It almost doesn’t matter what style or melody he explores, the audience is certain to be inspired.

Like his lyrics, his musical hooks are disarmingly simple, but tricky, and downright magical in their originality and visceral delivery.

Listening to Hiatt can be like reading Ernest Hemingway, in that his genius may not be immediately evident. The unassuming simplicity and directness of style of the vocabulary and structure used to convey Hiatt’s insight renders a message that’s enduring—like the nugget of wisdom at the center of a Zen koan, where essence outshines form.

MUSIC CALENDAR LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

SCOTT COOPER AND THE BARRELMAKERS Many locals know local musician Scott Cooper as the rhythm guitarist for Grateful Dead tribute act China Cats. But Cooper also plays in a bunch of other bands—and even writes his own music. In fact, it was the success of China Cats that gave him the push to put together his own group, Scott Cooper and the Barrelmakers. He had already recorded a solo record, but started rounding up musicians for gigs.

SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I wouldn’t say it’s tailored to Deadheads, but it should appeal to Deadheads. I think it would appeal to people that like Phish or String Cheese or jam bands, but I don’t think it sounds like any of those, per se,” Cooper says.

48

A lot of Cooper’s influences are the very same styles of music that influenced Grateful Dead’s eclectic sound, including bluegrass, R&B, blues, soul, classic country and New Orleans jazz. Cooper particularly likes to champion the older artists that inspired the ’60s/’70s rock ’n’ roll movement.

“I’ve always felt that musicians should skip trying to learn from Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin. They should go right back to the source and play some T-Bone Walker and Freddy King and Lonnie Johnson and all the masters. I always have a lot of respect for guys that have obviously done their homework,” Cooper says.

INFO: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24.

Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $8. 603-2294

WEDNESDAY 9/23 CHAMBER-FOLK

ONE LANE BRIDGE One Lane Bridge performs a version of Bach’s “Prelude from Cello Suite Np. 1” that is so lovely it will bring you to tears. With Aria DiSalvio on cello holding down the low end, William Coulter contributing elegant guitarwork, and fiddler John Weed bringing the whole thing together with long, sweeping pulls of his bow, it showcases the brilliance of the group. But this is no classical ensemble. One Lane Bridge draws from the rich musical traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Spain, and more. Aptly described as chamber-folk, the trio sees three of the Bay Area’s finest joining forces. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $17/door. 603-2294.

THURSDAY 9/24 ACOUSTIC ROCK

DONAVON FRANKENREITER When singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips told Donavon Frankenreiter that he should make “the most inti-

mate and honest record you’ve ever made,” Frankenreiter took the advice to heart. The songwriter/guitarist/ professional surfer dug deep into his own emotions and experiences and emerged with an album full of passion, joy, struggles, and love. Appropriately titled The Heart, it sees Frankenreiter getting even better with age, still making thoughtful, life-affirming music.

Also on the bill: Peter Harper. CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25. 479-1854.

INDIE ROCK

BEST COAST Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno, better known as the Los Angeles garage rock duo Best Coast, are the poison apples of the music world—sweet on the outside, but with a hidden dark heart. Since forming in 2009, they’ve played a style of pop that is as angsty as it is catchy. Cosentino’s lyrics ride the fine line between self-empowerment and loathing, often left in an indecisive green haze of California smoke. However, California Nights, released earlier this year, finds the duo maturing in sound and mind with more production (while sticking with their raw sound) and Cosentino singing about how life will be okay. MAT WEIR

INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst Club, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

FRIDAY 9/25 HAWAIIAN

MAKUA ROTHMAN As Santa Cruz is a surfing town, a lot of people here are probably already familiar with professional surfer Makua Rothman. The Hawaiian native has been winning awards worldwide at surfing competitions since 2002. The last few years, though, he’s found a new passion, the ukulele, and even recorded an album. He’s even worked with several Hawaiian legends (IZ Kamakawiwo'ole , Ledward Kaapana and John Cruz) and plays a laid back sound that blends Jack Johnson, native Hawaiian music and a little sprinkling of reggae. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

SOUTHERN ROCK

LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS JD Wilkes is a true Southern traditionalist, but actively works to redefine the Southern image. A couple years back, he wrote Barn Dances and Jamborees Across Kentucky, an in-depth document of some of the South’s most unique regional dance joints. Of course, what

he’s most known for is his long-running punky Southern-swamp-rock band the Legendary Shack Shakers. The shows are wild, with a bit of Iggy Pop and Jerry Lee Lewis energy. Wilkes goes to great lengths to bring the Southern dark gothic sensibility—common in rural Southern towns—to his music.

The Shack Shakers’ new album, their first in five years, is called The Southern Surreal and is a raucous Southern gothic rock gem. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

SUNDAY 9/27 LATIN REGGAE

BACHACO Blending reggae rock with Latin roots has earned Bachaco renown throughout the world as they’ve toured the Americas. Formed by Venezuelan brothers Edilberto “Eddy” and Jose Morillo in Miami, Bachaco takes its name from the Venezuelan name for a Leafcutter Ant, which is also used to make a hot sauce (picante). And musical spice is just what Bachaco serves. Reggae guitars and beats make up the base, while Latin horns are chopped up with harmonies and set to chill, allowing the flavors to

blend into full sound pleasing to any palette. MW INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/ door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 9/28 JAZZ

JOEY ALEXANDER TRIO The reaction to 12-year-old Indonesian pianist Joey Alexander has been decidedly divided. Many people who discovered his music this year via the New York Times and an NPR profile found his playing remarkably mature and his interviews delightfully unaffected. But some musicians and fans grumbled about another case of unseasoned youth stealing attention from deserving veterans. Listening to Alexander’s impressive debut album My Favorite Things (Motema Music), which was produced by UCSC alum Jason Olaine, Alexander holds his own with superlative accompanists Larry Grenadier (bass) and Ulysses Owens Jr. (drums). ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

INFO: Saturday, Oct. 10, 8 p.m. Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. $27-$72. 426-6966.

the best songwriters of his generation. In light of that, it’s super weird that all of the Lemonheads’ hits have been covers—Suzanne Vega’s “Luka,” Simon and Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson,” Love Positions’ “Into Your Arms.” I don’t get it! Dando does have an unusual knack for great cover songs (his versions of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” and Kirsty MacColl’s “He’s on the Beach” are just two stellar examples), but this is the guy who wrote songs like “If I Could Talk I’d Tell You,” “Rudderless,” “The Outdoor Type” and “It’s a Shame About Ray.” Dando remains criminally underrated, but he knows what his best songs are, and every Lemonheads set seems perfectly constructed because of it. STEVE PALOPOLI

Kicking off its 58th season, the Santa Cruz Symphony continues to receive widespread critical acclaim under the direction of Maestro Daniel Stewart.

For its 2015-2016 season opener, the symphony presents Inventing America, a concert featuring works by four different composers: Copland’s “Fanfare for a Common Man,” Oswaldo Golijov’s arrangement of Severiano Briseño’s “El Sinaloense,” Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” featuring Jon Nakamatsu on piano, and Dvorák’s “Symphony No. 9 in E Minor,” long considered the Great American Symphony.

FILM

DANCE WITH THE DEVIL Johnny Depp’s performance is chilling and sinister in the crisp

true-crime melodrama ‘Black Mass,’ which takes place in Boston.

Force Of Evil SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Johnny Depp gets sinister in bloody true-crime drama ‘Black Mass’ BY LISA JENSEN

54

I

n between lucrative stints as Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp has had an unfortunate run of film roles lately. So it’s good to be reminded with a movie like Black Mass that, yes, Depp can act (not just decorate the scenery with entertaining shtick). Depp gets to do something completely different in this blood-soaked true-crime drama.

Playing notorious 1980s-era Boston crime lord James “Whitey” Bulger, the actor creates a one-man vortex of pure malevolence that sucks up everything in its path, and keeps the viewer constantly on edge.

Scripted by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth (from the true-crime book by former Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill), the film unspools as a morality play about good

and evil and the dangerous grey area in between. The writers and director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) lay out the story clearly in a series of interviews given by members of Bulger’s inner circle to the FBI, turning state’s evidence against their boss. What makes this an especially cautionary tale is the tacit involvement of FBI agents in Bulger’s burgeoning criminal career; he couldn’t have done it without them.

How this dance with the devil evolves is what Cooper’s film is all about. It’s a tale of two “Southies,” Irish street kids from South Boston, who grow up in the same neighborhood. Jimmy Bulger (Depp) is an ex-con who came up through the ranks in the usual small-time rackets—drugs, gambling, extortion.

John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) became a federal agent, now working for the FBI. They haven’t had much contact since school, but in 1974, they find they have a common enemy—the “Italian mob” wreaking havoc in the streets of Boston.

Connolly convinces his dubious FBI boss (Kevin Bacon) to enter into a covert alliance with Jimmy, who’s supposed to provide information that his boys pick up on the street that will help shut down the mob operation.

To persuade Jimmy, Connolly turns to Jimmy’s brother, Billy Bulger (Benedict Cumberbatch), a state senator who, like the FBI, sees the political advantage to getting rid of the local Cosa Nostra.

Connolly depends on old loyalties among Southies, forged on the

playground, to keep this unholy alliance well-oiled and running. But, as one informant explains early on, “Just like on the playground, it’s hard to tell who is who,” between the good guys and bad guys. Both Jimmy and Connolly convince their men that they’re using the other side “to fight our wars against our enemies.”

But the increasingly psychopathic Jimmy (who participated in 50 LSD experiments in prison) manages to expand his operation from local gangster to crime lord by the mid80s. The feds naively believe they can rein him in. (“No murder” is part of their deal, although Jimmy pushes back if anyone gets in his way—often doing the honors himself, and in one grueling sequence, with his bare hands. His mantra is, “If nobody sees it, it didn’t happen.”) Meanwhile, Connolly—gaining prestige and influence by cleaning up the Italian mob—goes from defending Jimmy’s value as an informant to ignoring, or discrediting any witnesses who try to tell the Bureau the truth about him.

The violence in this film is difficult to watch, and the audience learns to expect the worst whenever Jimmy comes onscreen. To everyone’s credit, no attempt is made to portray him as an affable, charismatic guy. Depp plays him as a sinister force of evil, and his performance is chilling. (The few times his Jimmy deigns to josh around with somebody, you know the other shoe is going to drop PDQ.) Edgerton’s Connolly is appropriately callow in his complacency about what he’s willing to give up in morality in return for becoming a big shot-aroundtown. Julianne Nicholson is also notable as his increasingly fed-up wife.

Cumberbatch doesn’t exactly resemble Depp’s brother (although Depp wears light blue contacts to help the illusion along), but he plays the glad-handing politician with style.

It would have been interesting to see more of the brothers’ yin-yang relationship. As it is, this is a crisp crime melodrama about the misuse of power corrupting absolutely.

BLACK MASS With Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Written by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth, from the book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. Directed by Scott Cooper. A Warner Bros. release. Rated R. 122 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 Last time Adam Sandler tried to make a movie, half the cast walked off the set, so it’s probably best that this time he leaves the directing to Genndy Tartakovsky, sticks to a children's film and plays an animated character so nobody can see his face. (Too mean? We say too true.) In the second round of Hotel Transylvania, Dracula is elated to be a grandvampire, except that Johnny and Mavis’ baby is half-vampire, half-human, and with his foofy mess of red curls, adorable face and very apparent lack of fangs, he’s not quite living up to his family legacy. Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez co-star.

(PG) 89 minutes.

SEPTEMBER 23-29, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE INTERN Robert De Niro is the intern and Anne Hathaway is his boss. Yes, yes, we know—role reversal, oh, the irony! (Of the Alanis Morissette variety, obviously.)

Chortles aside, Robert De Niro could bring a certain element of heartwarming nostalgia to this critique of the baby-driven entrepreneurial movement behind modern tech companies and startups. Or the whole thing could just be a big old schmaltz fest with Hathaway crying a lot. We all know how she loves to cry. Nancy Meyers directs. Rene Russo co-stars. (PG-13) 121 minutes.

58

THE NEW GIRLFRIEND Laura and Claire have been friends since they were children, inseparable since their youngest moments, so it comes as a devastating blow when Laura suddenly becomes ill and dies, leaving behind her husband, David, to raise their newborn daughter.

Claire soon discovers that David has had a secret all along in this dramatic exploration into identities, secrets, and hidden lives—which looks very dramatic and very French. François Ozon directs. Romain Duris, Anaïs Demoustier, Raphaël Personnaz costar. (R) 108 minutes.

STONEWALL Regardless of who threw the first brick in the pivotal moments of the 1969 Stonewall riots, it’s a story that is crucial to this nation’s history. It’s also just as important to remember the

transgender leaders of color that many argue have been written into supporting roles in this film when, in reality, they led the movement—like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who many debate might have thrown that first brick, instead of the white gay male in Stonewall. Controversy aside, it’s a glimpse into horrendous brutality and discrimination against LGBTQ members, and the most visible—though not the first—point in history where they took a stand against it. Roland Emmerich directs.

Jeremy Irvine, Jonny Beauchamp, Joey King co-star. (R) 129 minutes.

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

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN ULTRA Since 1953, the government has been running a top-secret project to control soldiers planted in civilian life. Now, agent Howell has been activated: only he doesn’t really know it yet, because he is way too high. Jesse Eisenberg plays the convenience store cashier who discovers a set of lethal skills he never knew he had when he kills some carjackers with a spoon.

“There’s a chance I may be a robot,” he tells his girlfriend Phoebe, played

by Kristen Stewart. Stewart might even crack that face with some more expressions than usual in what looks like a hilarious action comedy. Nima Nourizadeh directs. Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Connie Britton costar. (R) 95 minutes.

A WALK IN THE WOODS Tired of death and funerals, Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) wants to hike the Appalachian Trail. But his his wife, played by the ever-lovable Emma Thompson, forbids him to go it alone, so after exhausting his list of old friends—who find going to the doctor for a colonoscopy adventure enough—he’s joined by Stephen, played by a perfect Nick Nolte. The duo appears to be a delightful match to defy geriatric expectations in the tale of one last hurrah, and Nolte,

who has arguably never looked better, plays the old loon with such charm you’d think he’s finally found a role that suits him. Ken Kwapis directs. (R) 104 minutes.

BLACK MASS Just when you thought you’d seen Johnny Depp at his creepiest, he puts on jagged tiny teeth and a blondish receding hairline to become the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston. While it’s true that a terrible film can still feature a brilliant cast, Black Mass shows true promise with Depp as mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, Joel Edgerton as his ally in the FBI, Benedict Cumberbatch as his senator brother, and a smattering of genre crossovers like Adam Scott, David Harbour, and Corey Stoll. Scott Cooper directs. (R) 122 minutes.

EVEREST As eight Everest climbers make their way up the summit, a massive storm hits and it’s every man for himself. Goosebumps are inevitable when watching this harrowing tale of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster and the survival attempts of two expedition groups.

The star-studded (yet just gritty enough to be believable) cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clarke, Sam Worthington, Robin Wright, and Keira Knightley.

Baltasar Kormákur directs. (PG-13) 121 minutes.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 It’s funny because this looks like the serious version of American Ultra; Agent 47 is a genetically engineered super agent with a perfectly shaped head and a face that never smiles. Oh, he’s also been hired by that guy from Heroes to kill some lady but it turns out she’s just like him! A film where people say things like “He’s here … to kill you,” with dramatic pause, and “Pretty crazy, huh?” and characters have “subdermal titanium body armor”—leaving you to wonder if all the good lines have already been taken. But all sarcastic nitpicking aside, Hitman does look like a pretty decent kickass action flick. We hope the Homeland bad boy can deliver as leading gentleman, but if not Hannah Ware looks tough enough for the both of them. Aleksander Bach directs. Rupert Friend, Hannah

Ware, Zachary Quinto co-star. (R) 96 minutes.

LEARNING TO DRIVE Ben Kingsley plays a Sikh driving instructor who, through wise parables and street know-how, teaches a New York writer with marriage troubles how to take the wheel, both on the road and in the rest of her life. Patricia Clarkson, Jake Weber, Sarita Choudhury, Grace Gummer and Samantha Bee from The Daily Show co-star. Isabel Coixet directs. (R) 90 minutes.

MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS Oh, oh, oh, it’s Littlefinger from Game of Thrones and the Effy from BBC’s Skins—plus that adorable kid also from Thrones.

Memorable faces aside, the movie’s about a bunch of children who escape an experimental facility and venture out into the desolate landscape of “The Scorch,” where they’re hunted. And … zombies? It’s a teen flick, but it still looks better than those Shailene Woodley Hunger Games knockoffs. Wes Ball directs.

Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster co-star.

(PG-13) 131 minutes.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE- ROGUE NATION At this point, audiences may be thinking it’s Tom Cruise in another of these franchise films that is truly impossible (did they get him in a lifetime deal with the devil?), although, as far as action franchises go, needing to eradicate a rogue international organization with equally skilled agents sounds creative enough. At least all the characters surrounding Cruise— from Simon Pegg’s unflinching wit to the best British pout of 2015 (we’re looking at you Rebecca Ferguson) to the incandescence of Alec Baldwin’s face—make up for the tired resurrection of Ethan Hunt.

Christopher McQuarrie directs.

Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, and Jeremy Renner co-star. (PG-13) 131 minutes.

NO ESCAPE An American family relocates overseas to embark on what they think will be an exciting new life—maybe a little too exciting, as they quickly find themselves in the epicenter of a military coup.

Owen Wilson, who’s currently in

post-production for Zoolander 2 (so it’s OK to find his genre-hopping unexpected), plays Jack Dwyer with Lake Bell as his on-screen wife. With two kids in tow they try desperately to flee the crumbling country but just as they think they’ve escaped, obstacles meet them at every turn.

John Erick Dowdle directs. Lake Bell, Pierce Brosnan, and Owen Wilson costar. (R) 103 minutes.

THE PERFECT GUY Leah is at the top of her game—good job, great boyfriend, genuine friends—but, she wants the house with the kids as well.

When her all-star boyfriend doesn’t measure up, she moves on—right into the arms of the oh-so-suave Carter, who, at first glance, seems completely perfect. Except Carter (played by the gorgeously blue-eyed Michael Ealy) has got a temper, and when Leah tries to distance herself she finds that he’s not all that easy to get rid of. David M. Rosenthal directs.

Michael Ealy, Sanaa Lathan, and Morris Chestnut co-star. (PG-13) 100 minutes.

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON “Speak a little truth and people lose their minds”—not everyone was ready for what N.W.A. had to say when the young Compton rappers hit the scene in the late ’80s. Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella rapped about living with one eye open and the daily realities of hood politics. Played here by Ice’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, Aldis Hodge and Neil Brown Jr., their story as perhaps the most controversial and outspoken hip-hop group in history has reached mythic status. But the film picks and chooses how it wants to remember these icons—conspicuously erasing, for instance, Dre’s history of violence against women. F. Gary Gray directs.

(R) 147 minutes.

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. This Cold War-era action-comedy reads James Bond-ish parody with just the right amount of eye candy and CIA/KGB crossover bravado—all with perfectly chiseled chins which, since it does harken back to the 1964 original, we’ll forgive. Guy Ritchie directs. Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander co-star. (PG-13) 116 minutes.

PIZZA PRAISE How lucky are we? One of our very favorite neighborhood dining rooms, Pizzeria Avanti, is a four-minute drive down the hill. Always offering some seasonal special salad—a few nights ago it was a brilliant tangle of arugula and frisee, bits of fresh orange, pink and red beets, cured onions, avocados, Armenian cucumbers and a tart vinaigrette that gathered up elements of flavor and sweetness from the oranges and beets. The pizzas have never been better. Thin delicious crust and toppings such as our new favorite of four mushrooms accented with mozzarella and a light glaze of pesto. While former owner Jeremy Federico has moved on, the current chefs/co-owners Hugo Martinez and Rene Serna continue to delight regulars and inquiring newcomers alike.

Harvest Feasts

60

The season’s last two farm-fresh dinners at Chaminade, plus a favorite new pizza flavor BY CHRISTINA WATERS

C

haminade’s upcoming Farm to Table wine dinner celebrates a long, warm growing season with some intriguing flavor combos from the skillful hands of Executive Chef Kirsten Ponza. Almost nothing beats the view and ambiance in the romantic back patio of the historic resort property—simply being there will make you feel pampered. But spending time over a multi-course dinner, locally sourced from the outstanding organic harvests of Everett Family Farms, is probably my favorite way of easing into the scenic vibe of Chaminade. From 6-9 p.m. on

Friday, Sept. 25, you’ll be able to join other foodies attracted to local wines and sparkling fresh ingredients.

Chef Ponza will doubtless have a few last-minute surprises to garnish the dinner, based upon the morning’s harvest from Everett Family Farms and joined by seafood from Stagnaro Brothers. Paired with selected offerings from Summit to Sea wineries, the 6 p.m. reception starts off with albacore poke, fresh oysters with heirloom tomato relish, pepper poppers (love that name!) and curried delicata squash.

Then, Ponza’s dinner launches with ceviche, followed by buttered crab on

watermelon carpaccio with toasted almonds—a dish that sounds so unreasonably swank I can barely stand it. Then comes olive-oilpoached halibut cheeks with leeks, carrots and black truffle aioli. I like the way this woman thinks. After a cioppino course comes a dessert of apple galette with white cheddar ice cream and tomato jam. This menu blows away many of the cook-bynumbers creations that can appear on resort tables. You would do well to grab your cell phone and beg for the last remaining places at the al fresco table this Friday. Dinner is $110 (all inclusive, wine, apps, food, tax, and

Our new favorite thirst quencher— discovered first at the Virgin American Terminal at SFO, then again at Eva’s in Greenwich Village—is the antioxidant infusion series from Bai5.

Proactive, sugarless and intensely flavorful, these drinks come in such sexy flavors as Costa Rica Clementine and Limu Lemon. Part of the ongoing crush everybody has on non-sugary health-conscious juices, the Bai line starts with antioxidant-rich coffeefruit (the outside of the caffeine bean we all love for breakfast). Then, natural sweeteners like stevia are added. The deal is that the results are the opposite of most fruit juices or flavored water drinks. They taste refreshing, and even—as is the case of the Clementine version—a bit salty. Very tasty, yet light. Well, given the heat wave we entered in New York last week, we were incredibly grateful for the Bai5 juices. More East Coast flavor discoveries are coming. Stay tuned!

GAME OF SCONES Danielle Bilanko, vice president of operations at Café Iveta, with a plate of their famous scones. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Café Iveta Tucked away on the Westside, Café Iveta is famous for its scones BY AARON CARNES

C

afé Iveta is a hidden gem— as in, it’s actually kind of hidden, and you might not know about it if you’re not standing right in front of it. They sell coffee, breakfast and sandwiches, and most importantly, their signature scones. Since 1998, Iveta has been selling its scone mixes to stores, and the cafe, which opened in 2010, was originally opened as a tasting room for them, before it became a successful little spot on its own. GT interviewed Danielle Bilanko, vice president of operations about their café, their upstairs art room and, of course, those delightful bakery items of theirs.

GT: What’s so special about your scones?

DANIELLE BILANKO: The scones have a slight crunch on the outside, and they’re really soft on the inside.

When people think scones, they think, “oh they’re going to be dry and hard,” and ours aren’t. We do really unique flavors. Our most popular is lavender white chocolate. Pumpkin spice is a really good one. We also don’t load in a lot of sugar, so they’re not overly sweet. If you want to put lemon curd or jam on it, it’s a nice treat. They are traditional English cream scones.

They’re really easy to make. We were on Oprah’s “O” list. We change the scones seasonally. We do about eight a day at the café. We also have a glutenfree scone and a vegan scone.

What’s up with the art upstairs?

We participate in First Fridays. In our upstairs loft there are some lounge seats. All the walls change every month with a new artist’s work. We stay open on First Friday till about midnight, and we have an opening party, and the art is up all month.

Anyone can go up and check it out.

Why are you so hard to find?

Having to have a warehouse as well, it actually works out pretty nice. The café is about 600 square feet. The whole space is about 10,000 square feet. So when you walk into the back, that’s where we make all of our mixes. It actually worked out nicely because we’re so close to the water, and then there was going to be all this development across the street that was hopefully going to bring in more foot traffic. We haven’t done too much advertising. Everything’s been word of mouth. Every year it just keeps growing and growing. It’s been great.

VINJUS FROM TRUE OLIVE CONNECTION Napa VinJus is a virgin grape juice made by Food & Vine in Napa, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now carried by True Olive Connection. VinJus is a flavorful non-alcoholic aperitif with a complex balance of crisp, tart and sweet. Made from varietals such as Chardonnay, this lovely elixir is made from one single ingredient: virgin grape juice. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delicious.

Compared to fine wine, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost half the calories, and half the sugar of regular grape juice. A bottle of 12.7 fluid ounces sells for $8.95, and makes for a great pantry staple for the occasion that a guest prefers something nonalcoholic. Visit trueoliveconnection.com for more info.

BEER, BRATS & BLUES Seabright Brewery, Santa Cruz Aleworks, Discretion Brewing and Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing will be pouring some good ales to the music of Carie & The SoulShakers at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beer, Brats & Blues event.

Food includes bratwurst, kielbasa, sauerkraut, German potato salad, warm pretzels and more. The event takes place at Chaminade from 5-8 p.m.

topping at Shopperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner for a bottle of wine, I spotted a Downhill Cellars 2010 Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains for $17.99 among the wide selection, and it turned out to be a very good buy.

This is an easy-drinking Chard that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break the bank and pairs well with all kinds of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barrel fermented in mostly neutral oak barrels gives the right balance of fruit and minerality,â&#x20AC;? says winemaker Frank Ashton, whose Chardonnay is produced and bottled by Los Gatos Wine Co. His 2010 Chardonnay has a nice crispness on the palate with the delicate aroma of pears, a citrusy note of lemons and slightly tropical fruit on the tongue.

Ashton spent around two decades operating a cutting-edge specialty retail company in the south Bay Area before opening up his own winery, Downhill Cellars. He has a passionate love of winemaking and is loyal to the small batch, as well as sourcing only the best grapes. Ashton also makes quite a few other varietals, including Petite Sirah, Pinor Noir, Viognier, and the more unusual Tannat and Torrontes. You can find Downhillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wines in Shopperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner or buy online.

SATURN IN SAGITTARIUSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; BEGINNING THE NOBLE JOURNEY A few hours after Mercury retrograded last week, Saturn (teacher, discipline, structure, Dweller on the Threshold), entered Sagittarius, sign of the Archer, after two and a half years in Scorpio. Saturn remains in Sagittarius until Dec. 20, 2017. Saturn teaches us caution, helps build foundations of true knowledge and calls us to practical, useful and meaningful living.

Saturn teaches moderation. Enlightenment (a fire) comes slowly and in moderation. Or else we burst into flames. Sometimes with Saturn we can feel melancholy, distant and cold. We learn what our limits are. Saturn builds an identification with our courage and inner strength.

With Saturn in Libra, we learned right relations; in Scorpio, discipleship training. In Sagittarius, we begin a new journey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out on the plains, in plain sight, on a white horse, Hercules

on a noble journey, eyes set on the prizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the mountains of Capricorn.â&#x20AC;? In Sag we consider what truth and justice are, we attempt to see behind and remove the veils hiding Lady Justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. We seek to know our principles, their origins, where they are taking us. We want principles to guide us like an arrow directed at the target of authenticity and truth.

In Sagittarius, we seek knowledge and wisdom that makes us teachers. Saturn, the Great Teacher, sees to all of this. The usual excessive behaviors of Sag are curtailed when Saturn enters Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansiveness becomes more defined, structured and more realisticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;good lessons for both Sag and Jupiter. We become practical and responsible, embarking finally on our â&#x20AC;&#x153;noble journey.â&#x20AC;?

ARIES Mar21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Apr20

LIBRA Sep23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct22

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sensitive to the image projected publically. Much success comes to you in the coming years. Saturn is forming an umbrella of security encompassing all of your endeavors. Saturn is also calling you to learn new things, take up a new study, train, mentor, teach, share knowledge and travel. All of these are offered in the next two years. You expand intellectually which then expands and opens the 12 heart petals.

Saturn will be looking at and assessing your communication skills; how you gather and disseminate information professionally and socially. Saturn will offer new ideas on how to organize thoughts and speak with others. You might sound (and feel) more serious. Learning takes precedence over everything. Events, interactions and communications will be actual learning experiences. You might suddenly feel shy, restrained and thus seek limits and boundaries.

Understanding the art of forgiveness becomes a theme.

We enter relationships in order to learn how to be in them.

So we can have a reflection of ourselves, learning about love (giving and receiving), companionship, cooperation and sacrifice. The next two years focus Geminis on all aspects of relationship. Saturn defines, strengthens, brings structure and responsibilities to, and disciplines all relationships. You will examine partnerships, commitments and what you truly need.

Good Times Helps Businesses Grow!

Relationships with family, children, nurture, and things nourishing may test you, along with changes in these relationships. There could be strengthening ties, seeking more recognition or separations. Whatever occurs is for the best. There may be pressure to complete tasks, reorganize the home and work environments, be more responsible, to serve more. You need more sleep in the next couple of years, more rest each day.

You may begin to feel that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no energy or vital life spark left inside. That your purpose is no longer known. Or that your creativity has disappeared. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occurring is a restructuring of the self, a new self is developing, leading to a stronger sense of artistic and creative purpose and expression. Before new identities emerge, the old must die away. You consider past love affairs. Seeing that they were good. Forgiving yourself and them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the season.

SCORPIO Oct23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov21 The constant pressure felt the last 60 months finally ceases.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling, slowly, of relief. You are now to construct a bow and quiver of arrows. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to take archery lessons. And study calligraphy. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to also study the Ninth Labor of Hercules, understanding it. What occurred in that labor? And how does it apply to you? You are to tend to finances, know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth everything, become practical and slow down. More later.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec20 You are to follow the directions given above in Scorpio.

But more seriously. For you are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Archer.â&#x20AC;? Saturn will be creating a complete change of personal identity in the next years. Your physical body must be tended to carefully. You will become more mature, somber. A new sense of selfconfidence will form. After the old one fades away. Guard against discouragement, as a new inner courage is being built. Simplify your life in every way.

CAPRICORN Dec21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan20 You are completing one cycle of life and beginning a new cycle. In the middle of the two there is a transition; a looking inward, a deep reflection of all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occurred before. Creating a truthfulness and cleansing, seeking emotions hiding away, bringing them to the light. This may feel uncomfortable. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good and necessary. Saturn wants to take all the goodness within you and prepare the future with it.

AQUARIUS Jan21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18 Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a very responsible person these last years, learning about your place in the world. Now things will begin to change.

Transitioning into you seeking hopes, wishes and dreams, asking who your friends are and how to build and create community.

You search for like-minded others, no longer sustaining casual unhelpful relationships. You consider your happiness, your needs and the future to prepare for. You will do all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. Steadily.

VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22

PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20

Re-evaluate, re-work, re-orient, re-order, re-structure. These are Saturnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasks for you for the next two years. These will significantly change you personally and psychologically, slowly over time, creating a state of preparation for greater creative expressiveness. You will tend to your health and well-being, and recognize limitations and ways to better serve and assume more responsibility everywhere. Do not feel burdened. Carry on with a spirit of joy.

A new set of rules, agendas, structures, disciplines appear concerning your work in the world. A secure professional foundation of your visions will be built over the next several years.

Saturn steps in to anchor what oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task is in the world. There will be recognition and rewards along with greater duties and responsibilities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to call forth right discernment, right timing and right choice in all endeavors. These virtues are the result of aligning with the will-to-good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time.

BEV RITCHEY, 40-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Assistant Five executive assistant Hobbies: Tennis, golf, bike riding, cooking Astrological Sign: Aries What do you enjoy cooking? I’d call it California Cuisine — not a lot of spice but clean, simple and fresh foods. I like cooking lamb, pasta dishes, and I love Shopper’s New York and teriyaki skirt steaks. I’m big on their fish as it’s delivered fresh every day, and it’s not pre-packaged. Everything is top quality from the meat department. I use a lot of veggies and much of the produce is local — it’s so good and the prices are better than the big chain stores. I love the size of the store; it has that small-town atmosphere yet it has a little bit of everything. I’ve never not found any product I was looking for.

Like what? For starters, they have tons of great olive oils, two different kinds of walnut oil, and three to four kinds of sesame oil. Their cheeses: they offer so much variety and in small quantities which I appreciate. Shopper’s wine selection is huge! If I want a really nice bottle to take to a dinner party, I can get one for a reasonable price.

And the wine guy Paul will always show you a few different selections to pair with a particular dish.

You can find this great locally made caramel by Lula’s and chocolates by Donnelly’s, plus all these good breads from the best micro-bakeries, also Pasta Mike’s fresh pasta, plus numerous local coffees, pies and eggs.

You must prefer Shopping local? I like to support local businesses. I’ve known Jim Beauregard forever and I know that Shopper’s is involved in the community in numerous ways. It’s also a fun place to shop. The checkers are so cute and really helpful, and they always greet you with a smile — and usually ask about my day or if I played tennis that day. The guys in the butcher shop are so friendly — they’re great, I love them! They know me which is nice, and are always giving cooking tips if I ask. Everyone I know shops here at Shoppers Corner. It’s been a staple of the community for so long.
