OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I’ve been editing Santa Cruz Restaurant Week issues long enough to know I can’t do it on an empty stomach. First, there are the thousands upon thousands of words to pore over describing the dishes that local restaurants are going to serve. That’s not all we cover in our complete guide to Santa Cruz’s biggest dining event, which runs from Oct. 14 to 21—I always get to know the creative minds behind the food better through our chef profiles, and come away with other interesting tidbits like, in this issue, all of the local farms that Gabriella Café sources from. But the point is I spent this week reading about how the blackened bistro steak at Hindquarter is marinated in tequila, lime and cilantro, and the schweinshaxe at Tyrolean Inn is braised for six hours, and the jackfruit for the curry at Pearl of the

That was a very well-written article by Roseann Hernandez on the Pope's visit and his pronouncements about the environment (GT, 9/30). She captured the important issues and wove in historical facts from previous popes, to make it a very informative and readable article. She is a very good writer!

I think that myself and others might notice that the important issues facing our planet highlighted in the article were climate change, deforestation, overfishing, loss of biodiversity, lack of clean and sustainable water sources, exploitation of delicate ecosystems, pollution of the marine environment, and destruction of the coral reefs. Did he overlook overpopulation? Would the Catholic Church want to do more than list important issues and maybe take a courageous, historic and game-changing stand on birth control, which is an underlying factor in all of the pressing environmental issues we face today?

Ocean is imported from Sri Lanka— and I’m hungry. Then the photos come in. Don’t get me started on the photos. Just let Restaurant Week start already. That’s all I ask!

Once you’ve read what participating restaurants have to offer in this issue, doing some Restaurant Week dining yourself is easy. There are no tickets or passes, just a fixed-price, three-course menu for $25 or $35 at each dining spot (remember, that doesn’t include tax or tip). Each menu includes three options for appetizer, entrée and dessert. See you there.

One last note: I had the wrong dates for the GLOW Festival in my editor’s note last week, for which I apologize. So if anyone wandered into the MAH looking for fire too early, that’s completely on me. I just want to remind everyone that the festival’s Digital Night is from 7-10 p.m on Friday, Oct. 16. at the MAH, and the Fire Night is from 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. Go to santacruzmah.org for tickets.

TAX THE POPE When the Catholic Church actively and aggressively attempts to influence state legislators, as it did with the Right to Die legislation, then it has clearly crossed the line of separation of church and state. The Catholic Church has certainly forfeited its right to nonprofit tax status, and the California legislature should begin the process of taxing the church.

The new Farm Neighborhood Park on Soquel Drive and Cunnison Lane has stream and riparian habitats, community gardens, a rain-harvesting system, and pedestrian trails, thanks to grant funding.

As funds become available, the park—which got placed on hold when local governments lost redevelopment money in 2011—might soon include a farm-style house, horseshoe pit, interpretive signs, bocce ball, a basketball court, and a pedestrian bridge over Soquel Creek.

Just nine months ago, California State Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) helped introduce the End of Life Option Act, which supporters ultimately tabled in June out of fear that it wouldn’t pass an important House committee. Gov. Jerry Brown has now signed into law a nearly identical version of that bill, which Monning co-authored. California Assemblymembers Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) and Luis Alejo (D-Watsonville) helped introduce the new version.

BERN-ING UP Occupy Wall Street stormed ashore, establishing a beachhead for folks like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama, who, with us running interference, are gaining yardage for the 99 percent. Elections come and go as part of movements, but movements come and stay! Movements slip in between the cracks, permeating the culture and changing things in often surprising ways.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Here’s actor Bill Murray’s advice about relationships: “If you have someone that you think is The One, don’t just say, ‘OK, let’s pick a date. Let’s get married.’ Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if, when you come back, you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.� In the coming weeks, Aries, I suggest you make comparable moves to test and deepen your own closest alliances. See what it’s like to get more seriously and deliriously intimate.

Many astronomers believe that our universe began with the Big Bang. An inconceivably condensed speck of matter exploded, eventually expanding into thousands of billions of stars. It must have been a noisy event, right? Actually, no. Astronomers estimate that the roar of the primal eruption was just 120 decibels—less than the volume of a live rock concert. I suspect that you are also on the verge of your own personal Big Bang, Libra.

It, too, will be relatively quiet for the amount of energy it unleashes.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Some firefighters use a wetter kind of water than the rest of us. It contains a small amount of biodegradable foam that makes it 10 times more effective in dousing blazes.

With this as your cue, I suggest you work on making your emotions “wetter� than usual. By that I mean the following: When your feelings arise, give them your reverent attention. Marvel at how mysterious they are. Be grateful for how much life force they endow you with. Whether they are relatively “negative� or “positive,� regard them as interesting revelations that provide useful information and potential opportunities for growth.

For now, you are excused from further work on the impossible tasks that have been grinding you down. You may take a break from the unsolvable riddles and cease your exhaustive efforts. And if you would also like to distance yourself from the farcical jokes the universe has been playing, go right ahead. To help enforce this transition, I hereby authorize you to enjoy a time of feasting and frolicking, which will serve as an antidote to your baffling trials. And I hereby declare that you have been as successful at weathering these trials as you could possibly be, even if the concrete proof of that is not yet entirely visible.

GEMINI May21–June20

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is a BBC TV mini-series set in the early 19th century. It’s the fictional story of a lone wizard, Mr. Norrell, who seeks to revive the art of occult magic so as to accomplish practical works, like helping the English navy in its war against the French navy. Norrell is pleased to find an apprentice, Jonathan Strange, and draws up a course of study for him. Norrell tells Strange that the practice of magic is daunting, “but the study is a continual delight.� If you’re interested in taking on a similar challenge, Gemini, it’s available.

One afternoon in September, I was hiking along a familiar path in the woods. As I passed my favorite grandmother oak, I spied a thick, 6-foot-long snake loitering on the trail in front of me. In hundreds of previous visits, I had never before seen a creature bigger than a mouse.

The serpent’s tail was hidden in the brush, but its head looked more like a harmless gopher snake's than a dangerous rattler’s. I took the opportunity to sing it three songs. It stayed for the duration, then slipped away after I finished. What a great omen! The next day, I made a tough but liberating decision to leave behind a good part of my life so as to focus more fully on a great part. With or without a snake sighting, Sagittarius, I foresee a comparable breakthrough for you sometime soon.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 We humans have put buttons on clothing for seven millennia. But for a long time these small knobs and disks were purely ornamental—meant to add beauty but not serve any other function. That changed in the 13th century, when our ancestors finally got around to inventing buttonholes. Buttons could then serve an additional purpose, providing a convenient way to fasten garments.

I foresee the possibility of a comparable evolution in your personal life, Cancerian. You have an opening to dream up further uses for elements that have previously been one-dimensional. Brainstorm about how you might expand the value of familiar things.

You would be wise to rediscover and revive your primal innocence. If you can figure out how to shed a few shreds of your sophistication and a few slivers of your excess dignity, you will literally boost your intelligence. That’s why I’m inviting you to explore the kingdom of childhood, where you can encounter stimuli that will freshen and sweeten your adulthood. Your upcoming schedule could include jumping in mud puddles, attending parties with imaginary friends, having uncivilized fun with wild toys, and drinking boisterously from fountains of youth.

While still a young man, Virgo author Leo Tolstoy wrote that “I have not met one man who is morally as good as I am.� He lived by a strict creed. “Eat moderately� was one of his “rules of life,� along with “Walk for an hour every day.� Others were equally stern: “Go to bed no later than 10 o’clock,� “Only do one thing at a time,� and “Disallow flights of imagination unless necessary.� He did provide himself with wiggle room, however. One guideline allowed him to sleep two hours during the day. Another specified that he could visit a brothel twice a month. I’d love for you to be inspired by Tolstoy’s approach, Virgo. Now is a favorable time to revisit your own rules of life. As you refine and recommit yourself to these fundamental disciplines, be sure to give yourself enough slack.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Canadian author Margaret Atwood has finished a new manuscript. It’s called Scribbler Moon. But it won’t be published as a book until the year 2114. Until then, it will be kept secret, along with the texts of many other writers who are creating work for a “Future Library.� The project’s director is conceptual artist Katie Paterson, who sees it as a response to George Orwell’s question, “How could you communicate with the future?� With this as your inspiration, Capricorn, try this exercise: Compose five messages you would you like to deliver to the person you will be in 2025.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Every hour of your life, millions of new cells are born to replace old cells that are dying. That’s why many parts of your body are composed of an entirely different collection of cells than they were years ago. If you are 35, for example, you have replaced your skeleton three times.

Congratulations! Your creativity is spectacular, as is your ability to transform yourself. Normally these instinctual talents aren’t nearly as available to you in your efforts to recreate and transform your psyche, but they are now.

In the coming months, you will have extraordinary power to revamp and rejuvenate everything about yourself, not just your physical organism.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The coming weeks will not be a favorable time to seek out allies you don’t even like that much or adventures that provide thrills you have felt a thousand times before. But the near future will be an excellent time to go on a quest for your personal version of the Holy Grail, a magic carpet, the key to the kingdom, or an answer to the Sphinx’s riddle. In other words, Pisces, I advise you to channel your yearning toward experiences that steep your heart with a sense of wonder. Don’t bother with anything that degrades, disappoints, or desensitizes you.

great again!” But his Republican tax cuts for the very rich and their trickle-down economics are what brought America down when it was great, when the income gap narrowed as the rich paid much higher taxes and still got richer, college was affordable, mortgages reasonable, social security and Medicare arrived, and our nowcrumbling infrastructure was built. That’s the socialism that Bernie Sanders talks about, not today’s socialism for the rich.

Sounds downright American to me.

What’s happening to Santa Cruz’s coastal fog?

Elephant in the Room Dangerous levels of mysterious toxin showing up in Año Nuevo seals BY MAT WEIR

A

long the shores of Año Nuevo State Park, blue and green waves crash upon the sand.

David Burns, a docent for the past five years, has endless anecdotes about the mighty elephant seals that arrive here twice a year, once to breed and once to molt. He and other docents even tell the story of a local creature nicknamed T.S. Elephant Seal, who had a large permanent scar from a toilet seat that had wrung itself around his neck. The tale comes with a warning.

“Basically, stop screwing up the environment,” he says, as the sun begins to set, casting shadows along fields of tall grass.

In the distance, a lone elephant seal lets out a bark, as if in agreement.

But this vibrant ecosystem may be facing even greater dangers than household trash. Under the pristinelooking waters of Año Nuevo, a potential threat looms. It isn’t a Great White Shark or some mythical sea monster, but rather an elemental compound.

The threat is methylmercury, and a growing body of evidence shows it is in extraordinarily high concentrations in the elephant seal population. While experts say humans aren’t at risk, they aren’t sure what the toxin, which

can cause neurological damage to mammals, is doing to the ecosystem in and around the state park, which is just north of the Santa Cruz-San Mateo County border.

UCSC Biology Professor Russell Flegal and two recent UCSC students co-authored a report on the topic, which ran in a September issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. In tests, the researchers found high methylmercury levels in the fur of elephant seals. They also tested water levels around California and found that Año Nuevo’s waters had alarmingly high levels >13

If Santa Cruz seems less foggy lately, Dr. Daniel Fernandez, a professor at CUSMB, says it’s not a fluke, but part of a developing trend. Fernandez has been using fog collectors to measure condensation from fog for the past 11 years.

“At least at the sites where I have had measurements over the past few years, I would say I received less than 20 percent of the fog in each of the last two years,” says Fernandez, who now has more than 30 fog collectors set up as far south as Big Sur and as far north as Arcata, including two at Long Marine Labs in Santa Cruz.

While it’s tempting to celebrate the lack of fog—more sunny days!—the environmental importance of fog has become a growing area of research for local scientists, especially in the face of unprecedented climate change.

Fog offsets water stress in two ways, says Dr. Sara Baguskas, a postdoctoral environmental studies scholar at UCSC. One is by direct water input, which increases soil moisture through the deposit of water droplets onto surfaces and plant leaves. Fernandez estimates that direct water input ranges anywhere from none, if there’s no fog at ground level, to about a couple of litres in a day, depending on the location.

“Fog water input is not trivial,” says Baguskas. “The water inputs during the summer can almost amount to big rainfall events that we would experience in the winter, which actually sort of challenges our notion of Mediterranean climates. In foggy places, it can be functionally raining.”

The other way fog offsets water stress is through its “shading effect,” by reducing water loss to the atmosphere, which is like a sponge for moisture, especially on hot days.

The low-fog trend is most likely due to a “warm blob” in the ocean, which extends as far north as Alaska and south to Baja California, causing significantly above-average sea surface temperatures. Offshore, fog forms when warm air meets colder ocean. But if drought conditions are expected to be more frequent, and if sea surface temperatures continue to rise, we can expect that coastal fog will continue to decline.

“Plants here have evolved to survive seasonal water stress,” says Baguskas. “What’s different about the last four years is we have not received much rain, we are in the most

NEWS ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM <11 of the neurotoxin, eight times higher on average than the rest of the state—leading them to believe this is connected to elephant seals.

The levels spiked to 17 times higher during molting season.

This wasn’t entirely new information. Previous studies have found high concentrations of mercury, which can stop brain growth in fetuses, in seal blood and tissue samples, and in 1981 Flegal discovered that mussels in Año Nuevo have higher concentrations than those in other areas.

Methylmercury is easily absorbed by marine life through two ways—direct dumping of waste, often from mercury mines, and atmospheric pollution. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, it can take centuries for the concentration levels to breakdown, meaning high levels will only continue to grow.

The EPA estimates that coal burning is the number one source of mercury pollution in the atmosphere.

The element is then released back into the ocean and land as precipitation. It isn’t clear where exactly the sources might be. For over 100 years, there was a mercury mine in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Now a Santa Clara County Park, the Almaden

Quicksilver Mines, which closed in 1971, were 25 miles from Año Nuevo.

But Sarah Peterson, a biologist with the United States Geologic Survey who has studied sea lions, doesn’t think there is any connection between the two.

For the recent study, Flegal worked with Jenn Cossaboon, who graduated from UCSC in 2012, and Priya Gangulia, who got her doctorate from UCSC in 2013.

Cossaboon’s team looked at the compound’s total concentration in each site and compared the inorganic, or nontoxic, concentrations to organic ones—mercury in its toxic, methylated form. For the seven comparison sites, they deduced that about two percent had methylated, which is typical for contamination near highway runoff. During the breeding season at Año, that number rose to four percent methylated.

However, during the molting season, the biologists found an extraordinary 43 percent of the total mercury was methylated.

“Not only are they very large animals,” says Cossaboon, now a graduate student at San Diego State University, “but they also have a ‘catastrophic molt,’ so they’re shedding their whole top layer of fur in a matter of four to six weeks.

The group estimates that each

individual seal sheds about half a pound of methylmercury each year.

These findings made waves around the country, and one of the study’s more surprising aspects was its response from journalists. A Google news search on mercury and elephant seals reveals a host of science blogs blaming the elephant seals specifically for the mercury levels— as if the species itself were wreaking havoc on the marine ecosystem. “I think the media picked it up that way for the headlines,” Cossaboon says with a chuckle.

Of course, the elephant seals are only shedding higher levels of mercury because they are ingesting higher levels of it, and the dangerous levels of mercury can be traced back to human activity.

Methylmercury is a biomagnifier, meaning the higher up the food chain it goes, the more concentrated it becomes. Pinnipeds, like elephant seals and sea lions, are particularly susceptible.

For example, a fish that feeds on plants with high levels of methylmercury will absorb a lifetime of the compound, which stays in that fish’s system. When an elephant seal feasts on a school of polluted fish, methylmercury accumulates within it. When it molts, the toxin >16

NEWS BRIEFS Where there was once a portable toilet, there is now only a pile of ash and a scorched wooden fence—at least for the time being. The public bathroom on the corner of Front and Laurel streets burned down the morning of Thursday, Oct. 8.; later in the afternoon, the wooden frame was still crackling from the heat of the earlier inferno. A few googly eyes remained stuck to the bathroom logo on the outside.

An investigation found that someone had caused the fire, according to Santa Cruz Fire

Department Captain Jason Hajduk, but there wasn’t enough evidence left after the flames to pinpoint whether or not it was an accident.

An SCPD officer first spotted the fire and reported it around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday as he was going off duty. Investigators from SCPD looked at surveillance footage to try to identify the last person to use the toilet, but they don’t have any suspects, says police spokesperson Joyce Blaschke.

The city’s Public Works Department has already decided to replace the restroom, which

opened more than 18 months ago, for a $1,000 replacement fee, says Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager.

Earlier this summer, the city launched an initiative to keep its slightly fancier bathrooms on Soquel Avenue open 24 hours a day. Collins says staff is strongly considering extending that pilot program, although they’ve found some damage. “I’m pleasantly surprised at how it’s gone, but there’s been some minor issues,” Collins says.

Activist Brent Adams started the Downtown Bathroom Taskforce, which cleaned the

portable bathroom four days a week before City Council voted to keep its Soquel Avenue bathrooms open all night. The portable bathroom had been much cleaner, Adams says, after the city brought the new Soquel bathrooms into the fold, and also strengthened its cleaning schedule.

“I’m really happy the city is talking about replacing it,” Adams says of the bathroom, “because anything in that area is really necessary, based on the profound amount of use that unit gets.” JACOB PIERCE

severe drought of the past 1200 years, and so what we are seeing, in terms of an ecosystem perspective, are species of plants that are virtually tolerant to drought dying back.”

WHY FOG MATTERS Scientists are only now just beginning to quantify the impact of fog decrease on a long list of plant species that are succumbing to drought stress, including huge old trees like giant sequoias inland, coastal redwoods, and Monterey pines, which are numerous north of Santa Cruz, says Baguskas.

“The coastal forests depend on the fog, not only for the moisture but for the nitrogen,” says Dr. Peter Weiss-Penzias, an atmospheric chemist at UCSC who began studying what is actually in fog back in 2011.

“Studying fog, you get a whole new outlook on the foggy climate. I used to dread fog, now I hope for fog,” says Weiss-Penzias. “You really start to realize the volume of water that’s involved and the contribution that it makes to our landscape.”

Baguskas has spent the summer studying

fog in the Salinas Valley. Low fog levels gave way to the important realization that “this is what California may look like in the future,” she says.

“Understanding even the more subtle effects of fog may be really important in terms of climate change adaptation, and for people who manage water in agriculture,” she says.

Baguskas found that the shading effect of fog may be even more significant than its direct water input when it comes to agriculture.

“What I’m seeing is that there’s a significant reduction in water loss from strawberry fields on foggy days compared to sunny days,” says Baguskas. “This is not surprising, per se, but it’s the first time it’s been quantified. My goal is to integrate these observations into weather-based irrigation decisions.”

The foggiest August recorded over the past seven years was in 2011, with a total of 46 liters of fog water collected in Marina, says Fernandez.

In August 2014, a mere 4 liters were collected at the same site, with 5 liters collected in August of 2015. And, one night in September of 2011, a fog collector in Big Sur caught 9 gallons, or 34 liters, of water, although Fernandez cautions that this was unusually extreme, partly due to the exposed, very windy site at a high elevation.

HOW FOG WORKS Another active area of fog research includes finding out what, exactly, is in fog. “Fog is a medium that picks up things and moves them from one place to another.

It’s a transport mechanism for chemical constituents,” says Baguskas.

It’s also a valuable source of naturally occurring nutrients. “The fog tends to be very heavy in ammonium and nitrate ions [the ingredients in fertilizer], and those definitely do fertilize the coastal area,” says Weiss-Penzias.

But it may also spread pollution. There is some research that suggests fog may transport pesticides from conventional farms to organic farms. And soon after Weiss-Penzias began analyzing fog for pollutants and other chemicals, he made a big discovery: unexpectedly high levels of mercury, to the tune of 100 times more concentrated than in rain.

“The hypothesis is that the fog sits over the ocean, and because of the ocean currents in our coastal area and how mercury gets altered in the deeper water by bacteria—it gets converted into methylmercury, which is a more toxic form and also more volatile—it can

come out of the water as a gas and is quickly taken up by the fog droplets. It’s like a sponge, and whatever was coming out of the ocean was soaked up by the fog. Whereas in the rain, there is a distinct boundary layer,” says Weiss-Penzias.

The trace levels of mercury in the fog are well below any health dangers for animals and humans breathing the air. “It’s not like walking by a nuclear reactor,” says Weiss-Penzias.

“But my big discovery was basically finding a new pathway for it to enter into the food web.

Where you are on the food chain is going to determine how much mercury you get in your diet. The health threshold for human intake is .3 parts per million, and a lot of animals have accumulated up to that level, primarily fish because there’s a lot of methylated mercury in the ocean.”

Weiss-Penzias is expanding his research to study the amount of mercury that’s actually in plants and animals that live along the coast, “and we’re actually seeing an enhancement along the coast.”

is released back into the already polluted water to be re-absorbed by the ecosystem and start the cycle again, only this time at higher concentrations.

The previous UCSC study into elephant seals found the blood and tissue of elephant seals contains the highest concentration of mercury ever reported for a predatory animal.

Author Sarah Peterson, tells GT the level “was much higher than we were initially anticipating.”

Elephant seals were chosen for both studies because they are the only pinniped species in the northeastern Pacific Ocean that feed almost entirely on fish and squid from the mesopelagic zone, a deep water layer extending from 650 to 3,300 feet. Studies have shown anaerobic bacteria—microorganisms that can live in extremely low or no oxygen—physically change, or “methylate,” the chemical makeup of inorganic mercury into methylmercury. How and why that happens is still unknown.

“This is an important finding, because we are just now learning about some of the nuances of how mercury moves around the environment,” says biologist and Año Nuevo director Patrick Robinson.

In fact, Peterson’s work and similar studies from her colleagues have shown that levels of methylmercury in deep-ocean-feeding elephant seals is comparable to that found in the tissue levels of harbor seals foraging in San Francisco Bay. While there are “no observable side effects” of mercury poisoning in the elephant seals, Peterson is quick to point out this doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t any. She compares it to our years of limited knowledge about the adverse effects of smoking tobacco, saying we just don’t have the information on the seals yet.

“It’s challenging to detect effects if you can’t actually see them,” Peterson stresses. “You can’t see if anything is happening below the surface. We don’t know if there’s any effect of the contaminant on these animals that’s happening on a cellular or neurological level. We have no idea.”

ROUND SOUND Cabezas de Cera, one of Rick Walker’s favorites at this year’s Loopfest, plays tight, intricate loops on instruments they built themselves.

Full Circle Rick Walker’s music festival celebrates 15 years of throwing Santa Cruz for a loop BY JACOB PIERCE

HOT TICKET

Loopfest—from San Francisco Airport. By the following Tuesday, when the festival is broken down and everyone has left, Walker and his wife Chris Wedertz will likely put their arms around each other and cry.

“It’s been such a great, big tumultuous family, and then all of a sudden, everyone’s gone,” he says of the process.

These “loopers” record musical tracks one at a time onstage, often switching instruments along the way, and then play over the recorded loops of instrumentation as each song builds on itself into a bigger and bigger composition. Y2k15 Loopfest kicks off at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at Mobo Sushi and continues the following week, Wednesday, Oct.

21 around San Jose and Santa Cruz with a headline concert at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25 at the Tannery.

Walker’s looping festival is a classic example of something that often gets more attention outside of Santa Cruz than within it, with events happening in 11 countries this year.

something new,” Walker says.

Other acts include Singapore singer/songwriter Randolf Arriola and Dark Room, a British duo of guitarist/pedal master Michael Bearpark and analog-to-digital keyboard guru Andrew Ostler.

Walker’s eyes light up when he talks about Cabezas de Cera, an ear-opening collaboration between brothers Mauricio and Francisco Sotelo, the latter a percussionist and metal instrument builder. “It’s wild.

It’s art. You look at the things the guy has created, and they’re art objects,” Walker says. “And he’s just a great performer.”

Most of these brilliant musical tourists will stay within a half block of Walker’s Seabright home.

Walker and his brother Bill share a duplex development, where they will house 12 loopers—14 including the hosts themselves. “All the floor space except for the bathroom and the kitchen is going to have air mattresses,” Walker says.

For tonight’s Mobo show, Walker will also share the stage with brother Bill and Gary Regina, all three of them now looping veterans. It’s the 20th anniversary of their first looping performance ever, at that very same sushi restaurant.

“That’s just going to be pure fun,” he says, “and it’s free.”

one “newbie.” One of this year’s first-timers is Henry Plotnick, a 13-year-old keyboard player who is emerging within the looper community.

“He’s really rad. He’s all over NPR. He’s getting tons of attention because he’s so freakishly creative at such a young age—and productive too,” Walker says. “He’ll be our first newbie who’s already famous. He’s more famous than I am.”

Walker is wearing a black T-shirt from the third looping festival 12 years ago and sitting at Hoffman’s Bistro, about 10 yards from where he and his jazz band soothes and serenades audiences every Friday night. His hair is spiked, a touch of pink in his gelled, grey tips. Walker is drinking what the wait staff here calls a “Ricky Temple”—an Arnold Palmer heavy on the lemonade.

He started out as rock drummer in his youth, but after finding Afrobeat in the late 1970s, Walker became engrossed in world percussion for the next 20 years. He ultimately discovered looping in the mid ’90s, which he says taught him more about keeping time than drum machines, sequencers, click tracks, or any band from any musical genre.

This year’s festival has four headliners, including pianist Fabio Anile, who’s performed at Loopfest once before. “It’s very pastoral, but also modern and edgy at the same time. Every time I see him, he does

From photography and design to Gregorian chants, Jim MacKenzie is anything but retired BY CHRISTINA WATERS

22

‘

I

love doing creative collaboration,’ confesses the tall lanky husband of artist/ illustrator Renée Flower. Best known for more than 30 years as UCSC’s director of publications, and design maestro of the university’s alumni review magazine, UC Santa Cruz Review, Jim MacKenzie has been even more deeply engaged in music, design and photography projects in the past six years since his alleged retirement.

On a Finnish Modern table in his Westside house sit three of his recent illustrated publications. He sings Gregorian chant every Sunday morning, plays gigs with a country music trio, and is currently making

atmospheric coastal photographs that will doubtless go into yet another MacKenzie-designed book. The cool, calm and laid-back MacKenzie sets an astonishing pace.

“I was down in San Diego in the late ’70s and a friend in Santa Cruz called me up and told me he had found the dream job for me,” he says. It was, indeed, and he began at UCSC in 1979, the same year he met his wife. A former architecture major, MacKenzie easily navigates the visual world. “A lot can be communicated by art direction,” he says, “by the size and choice of images, placement of text, design of the page. In the context of my university work, I had to be a visual

artist, I tried to communicate stories visually, by what I call ‘editorial photography.’” The evidence of his skill is evident in the books I pore over, books filled with MacKenzie’s words, as well as images and design.

Born in Pennsylvania, MacKenzie drove west with his parents when he was 5 years old. “It was on that cross-country trip that I heard my parents singing—in two-part harmony! That was the very first time I was aware of harmony,” he says. It was a precocious epiphany.

“All through high school I joined trios and groups, played clarinet until I traded it in for a guitar.”

MacKenzie sang and played popular and folk music “at school functions,

clubs and at Griswald’s smorgasbord in Redlands,” he grins.

At college in Los Angeles, he began doing graphic design, including work on an Earth Day festival attended by Buckminster Fuller, before steeping himself in visual history. “I lived in the Gamble House for a summer,” he says, enjoying the envy on my face as I consider what it would mean to inhabit one of the gems of Arts & Crafts architecture. While still an art major at USC he rented the chauffeur’s quarters of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennes House for a few years. The design die was cast by the time he got out of college.

Then came a stint at the LA Weekly, followed by a year in Spokane with a small graphics company he helped found. In the ’70s however, all roads led to Santa Cruz.

MacKenzie’s did, too.

Three years ago, he teamed up with local singers Dan Landry and Heidi Renteria, performing country, folk and bluegrass as the Sister Brothers. And those weekly Gregorian chant sessions?

“It’s partly social,” he confesses.

“Channeling music dating back to the seventh century, singing it keeps that whole history alive.”

The most recent collaboration between MacKenzie and his spouse is a beautifully photographed book about a highly sought-after group of guitar makers—luthiers—in our area, published in 2014. Designed around an “Art of Guitar” exhibition, From These Woods is the result of a half year spent meeting and photographing the craftsmen and their exquisite instruments. “We went nuts in their shops,” MacKenzie recalls. During the two-month run of the exhibit, the creators sold out all but a few dozen books. [See the “From These Woods” Facebook site.]

MacKenzie brushes off the shock and awe his productivity inspires. “I didn’t retire from work!” he exclaims.

“Besides, I like to collaborate. I don’t need to control every aspect of a project. I think collaboration is the best way to work—but the chemistry has to be there.”

WHAT THE BLEEP DO THEY KNOW Video-game cover band Super Soul Bros. play the Crepe Place Oct. 15.

Another Level OCTOBER14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Unexpected jazz-fusion approach of Super Soul Bros. stands out in new wave of video-game bands BY AARON CARNES

24

S

an Jose’s Super Soul Bros. aren’t shy about identifying themselves as a “video game band,” but they also don’t require audiences to have any knowledge of video games, either.

It certainly doesn’t hurt, as their entire set is comprised of video game song covers from games like Mario Kart, Zelda, Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog, but they play them in a smooth, grooving jazz-fusion style. The ensemble is made up of competent players, too, so to a nongamer crowd, they sound just like a really soulful jazz instrumental outfit.

For gamers, though, there’s a certain shock that comes with hearing these classic video game songs performed by a six-piece band with drums, keys, bass, and a horn section, which really

demonstrates how nuanced these old songs actually were.

“If you think about it, all those Nintendo games, they were composed

by Japanese composers,” Super Soul Bros. keyboardist Robbie Benson explains. “In the ’80s and ’90s, jazzfusion was a big thing, and it was in its prime over there in Japan. So a lot of the compositions in the video games already have a funky, jazzy vibe to them.”

With the potential to keep one foot in the jazz camp, and the other in video games, they’ve so far opted to align themselves with video game culture primarily by playing at events like Magfest, where hundreds of other bands will also cover video game songs, or sing about nerd culture. But it’s unlikely many of them have the

musical pedigree that Super Soul Bros. does. Benson has been playing music since he was in diapers, and has played with many jazz/funk greats, and several members of the ensemble even studied music in college.

“We’re musicians that just so happen to be doing a video game band,” Benson says. “We’ve been booking ourselves anywhere that is willing to book us, but our shtick is doing video game music. It can sometimes be difficult to find a venue that’s open to that. They’re initially turned off by that idea. But if they hear us, they realize it’s listenable music for anybody.”

Their first gig was at Iguana’s Taqueria in San Jose about five years ago, at the same time as the Fanime convention, where they hoped to

catch the attention of some kindred fanboy spirits. It may not have been a video game event specifically, but the chance for overlap with an anime crowd seemed high.

“The exposure we got from it was kind of limited, just whoever felt like getting a burrito. We were trying to play as long as we could, basically. We played on and off over the course of four to five hours,” Benson says.

It went well enough to encourage them to try again, which they did a year later during the following Fanime convention. By the second year, the group had some serious chops. After the show, they put themselves out there more, getting involved with events that catered specifically to video game crowds.

At this point, there is an extensive network of bands playing video game music, like Arizona’s Minibosses, who do math rock renditions of retro video game songs (which also, in their own way, reveal how epic and triumphant these old tunes are). Other bands in this video game scene include groups like New York’s Anamanaguchi, who write original music using old 8-bit video game sounds. Video game bands only draw a cult audience, but that could change.

“Video games is the biggest entertainment industry now, larger than Hollywood, larger than pornography. It’s like a big money maker that, if we play our cards right, we’ll be able to find a niche and make some money doing it,” Benson says.

Super Soul Bros. now has a more prominent gamer audience coming to see them, and Benson finds himself wanting to educate his crowd about jazz-fusion, a genre he grew up loving.

The music isn’t as popular as it was in the ’70s, but there is a modest resurgence recently with artists like Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington.

“For a lot of people, they think of jazz as background music, not really music that you engage yourself with and listen to. That’s the general consensus for people that didn’t grow up listening it,” Benson says. “We try to show people, while it’s not EDM, it can still be energetic and really interesting.”

REEL ROCK 10 FILM FEST Rock climbers are crazy. Without a doubt, it takes a certain level of insanity to dare the face of a vertical wall to just stand there while one daintily jaunts to the peak—but then, there’s nothing quite like it, either. The pinnacles of conquest know no bounds in mountaineering, and that’s why there’s an entire film festival dedicated to the totally absurd, totally terrifying sport of defying gravity and conquering nature. This Thursday, Reel Rock 10 comes to the Rio with five short films spanning achievements in modern alpinism, vertical adventures, highball bouldering, free climbing, competition, camaraderie, and tribute.

Info: 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 15, Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. reelrocktour.com. $17.

AQUARIUS

515 Cedar St., Santa Cruz 425-5051, 515santacruz.com

175 West Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz 460-5012

For Restaurant Week, 515 is taking the local ingredients they already use and making entirely new menu items. Sous chef Jessica Carlson explains, “We are going to have fun, while staying true to ourselves.

We want our regulars to be excited about trying new stuff.” Carlson recommends such unique dishes as the saffron seafood risotto, with sustainable prawns, mussels and calamari; and the grilled New York strip steak, which will feature a demi glaze. AC

As a restaurant that looks out over the Monterey Bay, fresh local fish and produce is especially important to Aquarius, says manager C.J. Harman.

They also smoke their own pastrami. “I love a good Reuben,” says Harman.

To celebrate Restaurant Week, Aquarius, housed in the Dream Inn, is making coastal huckleberry cobbler from the berry that is ripe for only one month out of the year.

Main courses include crispy pork belly with smoked tomato polenta, a petit filet, sea scallops and a

butternut squash risotto.

“Local sustainable seafood and produce with great views sums us up,” says Harman. BK

ASSEMBLY 1108 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz 824-6100, assembleforfood.com Fresh, creative and locally sourced dishes are a way of life at Assembly.

Co-owner Zach Davis sees Restaurant Week as an opportunity to flex those creative muscles with some unique dishes not on their normal menu, and to focus on fall flavors.

“All of our produce is locally farmed,” Davis says. “All the proteins are locally sourced. Any bread or pastas that we do is all stuff that

we make in-house. We’re trying to emphasize the flavors of the fall and get some of the warm-y, hearty fall type of things.”

Davis takes those flavors to create a dish like the red flint polenta, which has roasted mushrooms, fennel, greens, preserved lemonherb relish and burrata.

“This time of year, mushrooms are in season. Mushrooms, fennel and polenta is just an amazing combination. That’s something you’re probably not going to find anywhere else in Santa Cruz,” he says.

He also recommends the La Quercia prosciutto with roasted Brussels sprouts, Asian pears, savoy cabbage, pomegranates and mustard seeds: “You get a little bit of salty

BACK NINE GRILL & BAR 555 Hwy 17, Santa Cruz 423-5000, backninegrill.com For its barbecue, the Back Nine gets food thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as local as the persimmon tree in its backyard.

But Chef Ben Kralj (which is pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;cry,â&#x20AC;? and means â&#x20AC;&#x153;kingâ&#x20AC;? in Slovenian) will also go quite a way for a barbecue edge; he gets some of his recipes from an East Bay barbecue place called the Back Forty, which is known for a sauce that holds cumin and celery seed, among other secrets.

Kralj recommends the St. Louis ribs to Restaurant Week diners trying out the year-old spot in what was once Peachwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It holds 50 people in the lounge and another 200 in the dining room, overlooking lush green manicured lawns.

Another specialty is a barbecued chicken salad featuring jicama, corn, black beans, cilantro, basil, fresh-made tortilla chips, green onions, Monterey Jack cheese, and a special sauce.

Kralj, who used to work at farmers markets when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooking, knows the benefits of buying local. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not polluting, and being able to support businesses right here instead of some factory farm in the middle of wherever,â&#x20AC;? he says.

For Restaurant Week, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got two homemade dessertsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a molten chocolate cake and a lemon bar, as well as ice cream from Marianneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting for the persimmons to ripen so he can use them for bread and pudding. BK

CAFĂ&#x2030; MARE 740 Front St. #100, Santa Cruz 458-1212, cafemare.com CafĂŠ Mareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authentic Italian menu for Restaurant Week was

designed by head chef J.P. Iuliano, and utilizes many local and housemade ingredients. Not only do they make their own breads and pastas from organic flour sourced from Coke Farm in San Juan Bautista, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have our own garden where we grow tomatoes, parsley, zucchini, and basil,â&#x20AC;? says Iuliano.

Appetizer options include the classic bruschetta, as well as mussels and clams in a light white wine tomato broth. One entrĂŠe option is their organic homemade tagliatelle pasta, served in a cream sauce with Taleggio cheese, speck and green peas sourced from Rodoni Farm in Davenport. Trescenzo Pellicia, an Italian-born assistant chef who specializes in Southern Italian dishes, is preparing to serve Baba, a traditional Neapolitan dessert. It is comprised of housemade sponge bread dipped in rum syrup, filled with homemade pastry cream and topped with Amarena cherries. AS

CHOCOLATE 1522 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz 427-9900, chocolatesantacruz.com The restaurant may be named after a dessert, but chef David Jackman really brings a unique approach to his main courses. With influences from all over the globe, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little hard to describe exactly what kind of food Jackman serves, except that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, flavorful and farm-to-fork of the highest order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely have a style,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cuisine, but a style, and we stick to it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as organic and locally sourced as we can be.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so seasonal. I think tomatoes are the only thing that we even serve out of season.â&#x20AC;? For Restaurant Week, Jackman is highlighting autumnal flavors with items like butternut squash rosettes, a gingerpersimmon glazed chicken and a roasted swordfish with smoked roasted peppers, spiced heirloom tomatoes and salt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming out of the farms right now,â&#x20AC;? he says.

THE CREMER HOUSE 6256 Hwy 9, Felton 335-3976, cremerhouse.com The Cremer House is known as both a craft brewery, with 25 brews on tap, and a hearty American restaurant serving a sort of upscale comfort food. One of their most popular dishes is a maple-mustard buttermilk fried chicken, which they will be serving during Restaurant Week. There is a heavy focus on organic ingredients, and they get between 50-80 percent of them locally. They even have their own bakery in the back for their baked good needs, like a brioche bun for their beet burger (another dish on their Restaurant Week menu, for vegetarians).

“For each course, we’re doing a special Restaurant Week dish, and we’re doing a couple of our dishes that we’re known for,” says Chef Andy Potterfield. Other menu items will include the unique burrata dish special, which has balsamic-roasted figs and prosciutto, and the seared scallops with autumn squash and curry. AC

GABRIELLA CAFÉ 910 Cedar St., Santa Cruz 457-1677, gabriellacafe.com This cozy, homelike cottage with an intimate European feel was founded in 1992 by owner Paul Cocking. Chef Gema Cruz started as a prep cook, and has been with the restaurant almost since it began. She is carrying on the culinary philosophy of Gabriella Café: “Our desire to serve only the freshest seasonal local organic produce underlies everything we do,” Cocking says.

Gabriella is offering seven choices of appetizers and entrées for Restaurant Week. The menu will stay at $35 in order to present a larger choice of sustainable fish and meat products. The favorite farms this year are Route One for beets, potatoes, frisee, baby romaine

El Palomar is a go-to spot for Mexican food that isn’t afraid to stray from the bounds of tradition.

Sure, the menu is inspired by old family recipes, but the owners have taken the dishes into new, modern, and distinctly Californian territory.

They also focus on bringing some of that delicious local fish from our nearby seas.

“We buy all of our fish from Stagnaro,” says manager Kimi Hanson. “We’re featuring a blackened snapper dish (huachinango) that’s caught locally.

They put a blackened spice on it, served with a little salsa, rice and beans.”

For people looking for something a little more in the traditional Mexican realm this Restaurant Week, try the red enchiladas with a mole sauce. For a starter, the restaurant will offer their popular sopitos, which are mini sopes, and

There’s even a dish that has every kind of produce from the garden— the caprese salad. “That dish is an avant-garde version of a caprese salad,” he says. “We harvest the sea salt from the Monterey Bay. We refine it down, and then we blend that with our herbs from the gardens. We make our own pancetta.

Hindquarter Bar and Grille, a longtime Santa Cruz fixture specializing in all things meat, will be serving a menu this year designed by head chef and owner Sam Yanez. First course options include a salad with organic greens sourced from Happy Boy Farm, warm goat cheese, toasted pecans, cranberries, and pomegranate vinaigrette. Entrée choices are highlighted by a blackened bistro steak that’s been marinated in tequila, lime and cilantro. “I’m really excited to introduce people to this cut of steak, because it’s very tender and flavorful, and similar to filet mignon,” says Yanez. The steak will be accompanied by a fresh selection of steamed vegetables, a locally sourced cilantro and parsley chimichurri, and potatoes that have either been mashed or baked.

One decadent and exciting dessert selection is the homemade white chocolate cheesecake with graham cracker crust, garnished with fresh local berries. AS

from Stagnaro. He serves meat that is free-range and grass-fed.

“This year we want to focus on what we do every day,” Nicely says, as opposed to putting out one-time Restaurant Week specials.

Nicely will be showcasing new items from the daily menu of German-style bistro and comfort food. That means fried chicken, home-cooked ribs, coconut shrimp, salmon brochette, jagerschnitzel, artichoke ravioli, and trout.

He also has a tangy salad up his sleeve. Made with Gala apples, it combines hydroponically grown lettuce from Watsonville with Point Reyes Bleu Cheese. Nicely done! BK

First off, no one gets the pronunciation of this two-year-old restaurant right the first time. It’s pronounced “cowboy” and was named for a Japanese anime cowboy movie spelled phonetically (Kauboi Be-Bop).

Everything about this restaurant in the old Britannia Arms site has an intriguing twist. Some sushi is topped with sriracha foam; they also have a gluten-free miso clam chowder.

And for Restaurant Week, the tasting menu pairs sakes with sushi.

“We use organic chicken, grassfed beef and we partner with the Monterey Bay Sustainable Seafood Watch,” says manager Dana Burstein. “That’s the foundation we are built on. From there, it’s about creating some fun food, pushing the envelope of what traditional sushi would be.”

How far from traditional? Perfect for the cowboy theme, this is one Japanese restaurant where you can get ramen, yakitori—or a great burger. BK

MARGARITAVILLE 231 Esplanade, Capitola 476-2263, margaritavillecapitola.com Sarah Orr, owner and general

manager of the newly renovated Margaritaville, is the first owner of the long-established Capitola landmark to take part in Restaurant Week. She is delighted to showcase the restaurant’s gleaming new look, and a menu inspired by her travels in Mexico.

“All of our contemporary Mexican seafood, including items on the Restaurant Week menu, are fresh, sustainable, and prepared from scratch,” she says. “I work with both Watsonville Coast Produce and a small farm owned by a family member to obtain tasty, in-season products.”

Included in the menu, for instance, are local apples in the apple crisp dessert, served with real whipped cream.

Also impressive is the panoramic ocean view from the bar, and 19 sleek new tables on the heated wraparound terrace. Locally produced wines on the menu include Cinnabar, Ridge, Storrs, Soquel Vineyards, Silver Mountain and Testarossa, and local beers on draft include Corralitos and Discretion. JS

MICHAEL’S ON MAIN 2591 Main St., Soquel 479-0777, michaelsonmain.net Each fall, owner-chef Michael Clark looks forward to Restaurant Week, feeling blessed to be living in the heart of an agricultural paradise.

“There are unique chocolate peppers, orange-persimmon tomatoes, squash, artichokes, freerange chickens and fantastic eggs to be had, and an ocean of fresh seafood. I talk with my local farmers on a weekly basis and feel like a kid in a candy store,” he says.

Clark doesn’t call it farm-to-table, rather, backdoor-to-table, as that’s the way some small farmers bring him their ingredients.

Clark is also one of the area’s most loyal supporters of locally produced wines and beer, pairing them with his popular ongoing weekly program of themed dinners. JS

The food is as exotic as the spelling. Kadoo boranee is butternut squash braised with onions, garlic, jalapeños, salt and sugar and served with minty yogurt.

There’s a chili from Afghanistan, and pomegranates bathe the chicken kabob and the eggplant with saffron basmati rice, chard, caramelized onion and qurut yogurt.

Everything is cooked fresh; nothing is premade and most of the

If you love gnocchi, chef Marco Rocha makes it here, as well as mushroom ravioli, which can be topped with butter and sage or a pork sauce. The pasta is all homemade, except for the glutenfree version.

If you think chicken is boring, Topusidis thinks your attitude will change after trying their chicken saltimbocca, which includes smoked mozzarella and prosciutto in a

Restaurant Week will feature gnocchi Capitano, with bay shrimp and prawns in a creamy tomato aurore sauce with capers, olives and garden tomatoes. They also offer shrimp scampi with asparagus, avocado, and capers in a lemon juice and white wine sauce.

“You wouldn’t really think of them as Italian, but people really enjoy them,” she says.

With a quarter of the restaurant’s seating on delightful plant-filled patios, the Ristorante sort of feels like a visit to Italy. The former hospital site it’s housed in feels like a villa.

Artichoke hearts, gnocchi, Mediterranean salad and seafood Genovese round out the offerings.

7500 Old Dominion Court, Aptos 661-4672, severinosbarandgrill.com Long-standing chef Antonio Gomez strives to serve food prepared with as many local ingredients as possible, unlike products picked early and shipped from far away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Locally grown food is of a higher quality, and the most fresh,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of our produce is sourced from organic farmers here and in surrounding counties, but we also gather herbs and foliage from our on-site garden. Start with caprese salad to enjoy not only local heirloom tomatoes and basil grown on the property, but also fresh mozzarella and extra-virgin olive oil grown and produced in our great state.â&#x20AC;?

He also suggests trying the Mediterranean style roasted portobello, for the taste of mushrooms grown right down the road in Monterey, and served on vegetable ratatouille. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last but not least,â&#x20AC;? says Gomez of Severinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant Week menu, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for dessert we take bread made fresh in Watsonville and transform it into Chocolate Kahlua bread pudding.â&#x20AC;?

SOIF WINE BAR 105 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz 423-2020, soifwine.com Manager Gregory Poux says Soifâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;eat locally and drink

globally.â&#x20AC;? The great challenge for the chefs at the wine bar and restaurant is to mix homegrown and local meals with exotic wines from France, Austria, Germany and Italy, to name a few.

His Restaurant Week menu is designed to show off some of the unusual dishes made from fresh, local produce.

Appetizers include heirloom tomato soup with cracked pepper gougères, which is puff pastry filled with cheese and cracked pepper; a lamb and pistachio tureen with lamb, celery, fennel, rosemary and green olives; and a salad with kohlrabi radish, pomegranates and a coriander vinaigrette.

Main courses include pork belly with a polenta griddle cake, braised greens and a soft-cooked egg, and red quinoa fried rice with bok choy, glazed carrots, chard, scallions and sesame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really just modern California cuisine, and our big challenge is to find dishes that pair up with a wide and eclectic variety of wines,â&#x20AC;? says Poux.

Food and beverage manager Eva McClure says Restaurant Week is a chance for her to showcase the menu that will be unveiled when the work is done in January.

The restaurant is one of the few that serves until 11 p.m. on weekends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want good food thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fast food later in the evening, you come here,â&#x20AC;? she says. About half the patrons are locals, and even some of the business travelers visit enough to be practically considered locals.

Point neighborhood favorite, features a menu designed by their new head chef Peter McAtee. “I’m excited to see how people react to my food,” he says. The menu is varied and creative; for instance, the Mediterranean meatball appetizer, made with lamb and beef, served with fine saffron straight from Spain and finished with a locally sourced mint chimichurri. Basa, a firm and flaky white fish, will be crusted in almonds and then baked, served on a bed of seared local spinach with Chinese black forbidden rice, and an imaginative pineapple beurre rouge sauce. McAtee’s favorite dessert is the house-made tiramisu, made

with rum and coffee-soaked pound cake, sugar and local egg yolks, and topped with a Cointreau whipped cream. AS

RED RESTAURANT AND BAR 200 Locust St., Santa Cruz 425-1913, redrestaurantandbar.com Red Restaurant and Bar will be serving a globally inspired menu this year. “I think the most important thing to remember is that food from all over the world can be delicious,”

says general manager Taylor Fontana.

“It’s easy to get stuck in one lane, but there are so many different styles of amazing foods, and we’re trying to highlight that.”

Look no further than the Thaiinspired laap salad for a first course, with thin-sliced New York steak on a bed of organic local romaine, cherry tomato, cucumber, mint, green onion, crispy rice noodles, and finished with a jalapeño lime dressing. One entrée choice from Italy is the cozze sulla tagliatelle.

The dish uses a homemade spinach pasta, blue mussels and sauteed local Rodoni Farm artichoke hearts, brought together with a white

Unlike other Restaurant Week chefs, shopping local is the last thing on

Gregory Magnussonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been chef at this southern German restaurant for three decades, and his goal is to keep things authenticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as in, German!

THE WATER STREET GRILL

Boardwalk, El Hermoso Mar, but he’s geared his newest venture, the Water Street Grill, for Santa Cruzans who want gourmet food and vegan or vegetarian offerings.

His produce comes from local farmers markets all the way to Watsonville; his fish is from Stagnaro’s. Some of his favorites are the fresh corn and bell peppers for the mango salsa that goes with his fish tacos.

He has responded to requests for gluten-free items, but only wanted to include them if he could make them taste great. He’s got a full vegan and vegetarian menu with items like spaghetti squash in place of pasta.

But if you have a hankering for pasta, he has six kinds of ravioli, including garlic and shrimp, spinach, cheese, chicken, lobster and artichoke. He’s also got carrot soup and a regular special of ribeye and lobster tail with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

He plans to show off as many organic specials as he can during Restaurant Week, to show people the variety they can expect from the restaurant that’s been open only nine months.

“We’re a small restaurant with a lot of choices,” says Degeneres. BK

OCTOBER 14-21, 2015

Traditional German food isn’t very Santa Cruz, he adds—it’s heavy, the portions are big and there’s lard involved. But they also offer vegetarian meals and cater to individual dietary concerns.

If you were going for the first time, you might be surprised at how spicy Bavarian food is. The goulash has onions, bell peppers, garlic and diced jalapenos. It’s served with spätzel—egg noodles that have been pan-fried with butter and parsley.

The holzfällerpfanne is two pork loin chops with onion, mushroom, bacon, tomato and a bit of jalapeño for spice. And, says Magnusson, he’s converted a vegetarian with his schweinshaxe, pork shank braised for six hours until the skin is crisp and the insides fall off the bone, served with red cabbage and dumplings.

You can’t not have apple strudel, as German as apple pie is American, right? Or you can try Bayerische, the German version of mousse firmed up with gelatin. BK

203 Esplanade, Capitola 475-4900, zeldasonthebeach.com

Your Place is a quirky little spot, as evidenced by the name. Chef Art Russell uses a lot of local produce and meat, and sees the act of preparing menus as similar to creating art—but also makes sure it’s tasty and hits all the right flavor buttons. How thoughtfully he prepares his menu is evident in how he describes one of his favorite offerings from this Restaurant Week menu: “I put on the filet [mignon] because not a lot of people get a chance to eat filet for $25. I think that’s really a good deal,” he says.

“And using the truffle glaze is interesting. I’m using the portabello mushrooms for that on the toppings, so it’s a very interesting dish.”

He also recommends the local salmon, served with fresh crab and hollandaise sauce on top of it. How’s that for creativity? AC

Zelda’s offers indoor-outdoor dining that takes full advantage of its oceanfront location. Owner Jill Ealy and her staff have prepared a menu for this year’s Restaurant Week that begins with a classic bruschetta; bread is from Sumano’s Bakery, and the tomatoes and basil are also local. The appetizer is finished with Parmesan cheese and a balsamic reduction.

Entrée choices are highlighted by their cioppino. “It’s a beautiful dish,” says Ealy. “People just raved about it at our sister restaurant in San Diego, so we’ve added it to our menu this year. It’s been super successful.”

The classic Central Coast dish includes prawns, mussels, clams, and white fish in a spicy tomato clam wine broth, served with crispy garlic bread. A dessert favorite is the homemade toasted coconut cheesecake, made with Glaum Ranch eggs. “It is the creamiest cheesecake, and is much lighter than the denser New York style,” says Ealy. AS

FRIDAY 10/16 MCT PRESENTS ‘THE SECRET AFFAIRS OF MILDRED WILD’’ With a 40-year collection of movie magazines sitting in her Greenwich Village apartment above the candy store she runs with her husband, Mildred Wild has virtually escaped into the dream world made possible by the 3,000 movies she’s devoured throughout her life. Fantasy and reality meet in moments of hilarity with the intrusion of her husband, her sister-in-law, the hard-boiled landlady, the butcher next door, and the foreman of the wrecking crew. Written by Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Paul Zindel and directed by Mountain Community Theater’s Erik Gandolfi, “The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild” dives into merriment and confusion through unlikely tropes and action moves.

LOCAL BAND DEATHLESS

Along with CrossFit and Netflix, Santa Cruz can now call itself the birthplace of the world’s first Buddhist hardcore punk band, the Deathless.

“The concept was to bring spirituality and Buddhist teachings, or Dharma, into hardcore music,” says singer Joe Clements while en route to a seven-day silent meditation retreat in the desert.

“This is it for the talking,” he laughs. “After this I’m shutting down for a few days.”

The idea behind the band began at a meditation retreat hosted by Clements’ childhood friend and Dharma Punx author Noah Levine.

OCTOBER 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Punk rock saved our lives,” says Levine, traveling with Clements. “It’s what gave our lives meaning and gave us an outlet for our angst. But we also both became drug addicts and lost all of our ideals to addiction.”

38

The two friends found that the Buddha’s teachings and practices helped them through the healing and recovery process. Since then the two have continued their spiritual paths, helping others find mindfulness and a better way of life.

“With Noah being a teacher and better at words, he started writing lyrics, and I worked on the songs,” Clements explains.

The Deathless has since grown to Clements (formerly known for iconic Santa Cruz punk band Fury 66) on vocals, Felix Lozano (Los Dryheavers) and Mikey Grove (the Itch) on guitar and Corey Atkinson (also of Los Dryheavers) on bass and Robert Scobie (Abhorrance) on drums.

“There were a bunch of ‘krishnacore’ bands but no ‘Buddhacore’ ones,” Levine says. “So we thought, ‘Let’s put this together.’” MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. Blue Lagoon. 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

WILL BERNARD

WEDNESDAY 10/14 ROCK

PETER CASE The history of Peter Case’s career more or less parallels the history of alternative rock itself. He started playing in a first-wave punk band (the Nerves), formed a New Wave/Powerpop group in the ’80s (the Plimsouls) and then had an alt-rock solo hit in the ’90s (“Dream About You”). In recent years, he’s veered mostly toward folk and blues, though his last studio album, 2010’s Wig!, fell more into garage-punk territory. The point is that genre isn’t really the best yardstick to measure Case. He’s a singer-songwriter who excels at storytelling and generally spins a dark, reflective tale.

GANG OF FOUR Gang of Four’s debut LP, Entertainment was one of the best records produced from the late ’70s post-punk era, but it doesn’t seem all that remarkable on paper: twitchy funk beats, stark dissonant guitars, pissed-off punk vocals. Somehow these unlikely ingredients created some of the best tunes to come out of England at the time. There was a rawness and an anger to Gang of Four, an authenticity to what they were playing that made every note

they played seem absolutely important, and still it was pop at its core. They blurred the lines between dance music and unhinged punk in a way that hasn’t been matched since—and many bands have tried. Their new record, 2015’s What Happened Next, takes these elements and mixes in some goth and industrial elements. AC

FILM

A FLOP IN THE ‘PAN’ Even the star-studded cast of ‘Pan,’ which includes Hugh Jackman as Captain Blackbeard (pictured), Garrett Hedlund, Rooney Mara, and Levi Miller, cannot keep the movie afloat.

Never Mind

All flash, no fun, in shipwrecked ‘Pan’ BY LISA JENSEN

F

ull disclosure: I went to see Pan, the new live-action Peter Pan movie, with extreme prejudice. As someone who has cheerfully adulterated J. M. Barrie’s classic for her own devices, I’m leery of anyone else doing the same. And I’m very possessive of the way “my” characters (let alone Barrie’s) are portrayed onscreen.

I wish I could say I was pleasantly surprised by Pan. But it’s even worse than I imagined, in every way that matters; there’s no story that makes any kind of sense on its own terms, no characters we’re invested in who share a sense of camaraderie, no fresh dialogue. In short, no fun. Pan comes up goose eggs in every department,

opting instead for insanely huge and irrelevant CGI effects that pummel the joy right out of it.

I had high hopes for director Joe Wright, who directed two of my favorite post-millennial literary adaptations (Pride and Prejudice and Atonement). But Jason Fuchs’ script is an ill-conceived origin story that makes hash out of the original’s time frame and sensibility. Not that Barrie’s world of perverse feral children isn’t ripe for a little tweaking, but Fuchs’ revision replaces the familiar story with an equally derivative adventure plot that borrows heavily from other, better, sources, like Oliver Twist and Star Wars.

Twelve-year-old Peter (wide-eyed

newcomer Levi Miller) grows up in a London orphanage run by ferocious nuns. One night during World War II, while the Nazis are bombing the city, Peter and some other boys are snatched up into a flying pirate ship that whisks them away to Neverland.

There they join the ranks of captive child slave laborers mining the caverns for “pixium” (i.e. pixie dust), which pirate captain Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) has been using to rejuvenate himself for the past 220 years.

It’s not much of a life for a pirate— no women, no plunder, and nothing to spend it on—so why he wants to sustain it eternally is just one of the many things that doesn’t add up. Tipping on a precipice one day,

Peter astounds everyone, including himself, by flying across the gorge, and it turns out there’s a prophecy that Blackbeard will be defeated by a boy who can fly. This is big news to the native tribes who live in the lush greenbelt over the hill from the mine, and need to stop the pirates before they despoil the entire island.

There was much ado in the media when Rooney Mara was cast as native princess Tiger Lily. But it’s clear in the film that the tribes are not Native Americans, just a bunch of exotics speaking in vaguely British accents. Not so James Hook (Garrett Hedlund); in this version, Barrie’s well-spoken Etonian is a blond American (curiously one of the few adults) laboring in the mine, spouting a line of trite, patently “cocky” dialogue that would make Han Solo cringe. He befriends Peter (Hook calls him “kid”), and they steal an extra pirate ship that happens to be floating around and fly off to join the princess in her fight against oppression.

Did I mention there’s an entire flotilla of flying pirate ships hovering above the island? Why do they fly? Who knows, but evidently that’s not what they’re using the pixie dust for. If every ship is airborne anyway, what’s the big deal that Peter can fly? The story of Peter’s birth might have had some resonance, but it’s told in a confusing underwater animation sequence that’s completely incomprehensible.

And the only reason for bumping up the time frame to the 1940s (from the turn-of-the-century original) is so one of the flying pirate ships can have a dogfight with the Luftwaffe.

No, I’m not kidding.

Who is this movie aimed at?

Wright says he made it for his son, but it’s hardly magical enough to enthrall kids (and it’s way creepy when the pirate ships blast the Fairy Kingdom with flame throwers), while adults will feel bored and/ or bludgeoned (often at the same time). The wheezy plot won’t interest young hipsters—not even in 3D. It’s a shipwrecked extravaganza for an audience that doesn’t exist.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BRIDGE OF SPIES In May of 1960, two weeks before an East-West summit in Paris, a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace.

With the world teetering on the brink of Mutually Assured Destruction, the entire course of the Cold War depended on getting that CIA agent back on U.S. soil. Tom Hanks plays the man who was trusted with negotiating the prisoner exchange, a lawyer plucked from a normal, everyday existence by the CIA. Steven Spielberg directs. Alan Alda, Amy Ryan co-star.

(PG-13) 135 minutes.

CRIMSON PEAK It’s got the oldfashioned horror tale elements like old scary mansions, ghosts, and evil sisters-in-law, and there’s something classically terrifying about a mansion that “bleeds, breathes, and remembers” that it might just be worth being too freaked out to sleep.

Guillermo del Toro directs. Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston co-star. (R) 119 minutes.

OCTOBER 14-20, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

GOOSEBUMPS Quiver in your Sketchers and flannel shirts, ’90s kids, because the beloved R.L. Stine books are coming for you—again!

This time, in live action, to reawaken every fourth-grade nightmare you ever had. Plus, Jack Black with a very fake, very bad English accent? We are so, so in. Rob Letterman directs. Odeya Rush, Halston Sage co-star. (PG) 103 minutes.

46

FREEHELD The real events of Laurel Hester’s life and death took place less than a decade ago; it’s the story of a New Jersey police lieutenant who, after dedicating her life to the force, was diagnosed with lung cancer. As if being faced with the inescapable fate of death wasn’t bad enough, Hester spent her last days fighting to ensure that her domestic partner, Stacie Andree, would be able to receive her pension benefits—just as every married partner on the force does when their spouse dies. Her fight gained national attention, and with it began the battle to secure the same rights for couples across the country.

Peter Sollett directs. Julianne Moore, Ellen Page, Steve Carell co-star. (PG13) 103 minutes.

SPECIAL SCREENING: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING Based on Naomi Klein’s book by the same name, This Changes Everything is a documentary filmed over 211 days in nine countries and five continents over the course of four years. From the wealthy, industrialized nations whose populations emit the highest rate of global emissions to the poorer, lessindustrialized populations who suffer the consequences, the documentary unpacks the surprising potential that this inescapable crisis offers a global citizenry. Avi Lewis directs. (NR) 89 minutes. 7 p.m., Oct. 20, Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz.

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 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 groups of 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.

HE NAMED ME MALALA Malala Yousafzai is still a teenager, but it’s

NOW THAT’S A COLD WAR Tom Hanks braves some chilly U.S.-Soviet relations in ‘Bridge of Spies.’

possible to look at her life story and not be amazed—she’s a goofball who can do card tricks, she laughs at herself, but she’s also the young Pakistani girl who was shot in the head for taking a stand against the Taliban. Her wisdom and her courage in supporting girls’ education around the world has stunned world leaders.

He Named Me Malala takes a look at what has made one young girl an international hero. Davis Guggenheim directs. Malala Yousafzai, Ziauddin Yousafzai and Toor Pekai Yousafzai costar. (PG-13) 87 minutes.

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.

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 schmaltzfest with Hathaway crying a lot. We all know how she loves to cry. Nancy Meyers directs. Rene Russo co-stars.

(PG-13) 121 minutes.

THE MARTIAN Astronaut Mark Watney is left stranded on Mars after a storm hits and he’s presumed dead—but somehow, he maintains a pretty positive outlook on the whole thing, despite the fact that he only has enough food for 50 days, the terrain isn’t suited for agriculture, and it’ll take four years to get a message back to Earth. There are, of course, complications with attempts to rescue Watney but with such a stellar cast (can you say Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover a.k.a Childish Gambino?) we don’t even care if he dies at the end. Note: we have no idea if he dies at the end. Ridley Scott directs.

(PG-13) 141 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.

PAN Reviewed this issue. (PG) 111 minutes.

SICARIO Emily Blunt is like the way cooler, less smiley version of Anne Hathaway. She’s British and she cries less. She can sing, play Queen Victoria, that super badass chick in Edge of Tomorrow, and everything in between.

Did we mention that she’s the total package? Fawning aside, Benicio del Toro is also in this movie! He’s in charge of showing the young idealistic FBI agent the ropes as she struggles to understand the world of Mexican drug cartels. Denis Villeneuve directs. Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro (R) 121 minutes.

THE WALK Can we all just chuckle a little at Joseph Gordon-Levitt with a French accent? Now that that’s out of the way—this is so not a film for anyone with fear of heights. It’s the totally true story of Philippe Petit, who decided to walk the void between the World Trade Center towers in 1974. Of course it would take a Frenchman to pull off a totally illegal, renegade traverse over a wire at the height of 1,362 feet (no diss to the French, but it was complètement fou!). The documentary starring the real Petit, who’s still alive today, was harrowing enough. In IMAX 3D? We’ll stick to ground-level films, thank you very much. Robert Zemeckis directs.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon, Ben Kingsley co-star. (PG) 123 minutes.

FRESH TART Raffaele Cristallo of Ben Lomond Bakery with one of their freshly baked fruit tarts. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Ben Lomond Bakery Italian pastries of all types come to the San Lorenzo Valley BY AARON CARNES

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more than just cannoli at the Ben Lomond Bakery, a (mostly) Italian bakery that opened this summer.

Owners Raffaele Cristallo and Mario Ibarra wanted to bring a wide range of Italian pastries, as well as some American ones, and whatever other items tickle their fancy. They have sweet and savory offerings, and even freshly made gelato. We spoke with Cristallo about the new bakery. Oh, and the cannoli? Delicious.

You have a lot of bite-sized pastries.

RAFFAELE CRISTALLO: The Italian stuff is very tiny in size. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like tapas for dessert. Everybody likes it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inexpensive, and you can have a few different ones. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very classic Italian thing. They range in size from an inch and a half to two inches at the most. The French also use this.

The Italian and French, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very close. We keep stealing from each other, like the eclairs. They call it beignet. We make those.

You sell a lot of stuffed croissants, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?

Yes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been experimenting with filling them with different food, like croissants filled with chocolate mousse, and the basic cream. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing with that, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

been coming out really good. We make different fillings, from coconut cream to hazelnut. It changes daily.

Also, for breakfast, we do a croissant thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuffed with pancetta. we call it the carbonara croissant. It has the pancetta and the egg like the classic pasta carbonara, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a breakfast item. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going really good. Also we have a goat cheese and kale croissant.

What kind of savory pastry should I get?

Something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going really good is the chorizo and egg turnover.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really nice item that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing. We have something called a panzerotti; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a deepfried calzone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really good.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sfogliatelle, and why should I try it?

In New York, they call it the Lobster Tail, but we are from Italy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a classic Neapolitan pastry from Naples. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got ricotta with orange zest. We stick to the original recipe for that. It is a sweet one, but not overly sweet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to the cannoli filling, but a little bit different. We Italians tend to use cream fillings, hazelnut, stuff like that, and almonds.

PALO ALTO MEDICAL FOUNDATION’S FOOD I came back from a two-week vacation in Chile last month with a pretty serious infection and ended up in PAMF’s Sutter Maternity & Surgery Center in Santa Cruz, getting intravenous antibiotics for three days. This is just to give them a shout out for their menu—a daily selection of lovely fresh food to choose from, including catch of the day. Some poached eggs and toast I ordered for breakfast one morning were prepared to perfection. I almost hated to check out.

or this equine-themed winery, Maverick is an appropriate name for a rebellious red wine with a big-kick finish. A mouthful of Maverick is like plush velvet, but also akin to galloping off on a trusty steed—it’s gentle but can also pack a punch.

A blend of 60 percent Syrah and 40 Sangiovese, the 2013 Maverick ($28) is a “stable” red that’s co-fermented in French oak, all carefully made by winemaker and Comanche Cellars’ owner Michael Simons.

“This happy wine greets with aromas of cherry, incense and peppermint,” says Simons. “Flavors of Bing cherries, root beer and toasted walnuts with an inner seam of pomegranate are followed by a generosity of raspberry white chocolate fudge,” he adds. And if that doesn’t “steer” you to this “brand” of wine, then I don’t know what will.

“The relentless acidity from the Sangiovese keeps the action lively,” Simons says. “This is a beautiful

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CHOICES OFFERED IN LAST WEEK OF LIBRA Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 14, 2015 This is our last week of Libra Sun. Libra prepares us for Scorpio. For the tests and trials of discipleship. Libra is the sign that oscillates up and down until we come to rest in a state of contemplation, the meditation in Libra.

We contemplate upon Libra’s tasks before entering the deep waters of Scorpio. Halloween is the outer symbol of Scorpio, of things and presences that “go bump in the night.” Libra, the sign of choice, informs us we must choose before Libra is over. Will we remain where we are, turn back to a previous time, or progress forward? It is a deep and difficult choice.

Those of us building our personality (physical body, emotions, lower mental) do not have such choice—progressing automatically into Virgo for purification. Disciples, soul-directed, are aware, yearly, of choice occurring in Libra. Preparing for

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 You have many important skills. You also have the ability to completely transform thoughts and ideas of others in the world of humanity. There is an aura of concern and right relations and love that can extend from you to others. It simply needs your awareness and a context/ place where you can teach. You are an initiating and charming leader. Cultivate patience.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 As you become more sensitive to personal matters of diet and health you realize you can teach others. This will be a great service to many for few understand the working of the body and even less how to bring adequate nutrition into daily life.

You are the sign of the illumined mind. Therefore, think on what information you have learned, how you can better serve first yourself and then all of humanity through nutrition.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 It’s a gift to know how to play and have fun, understanding in life there is pleasure along with and amid the suffering.

It’s a skill to have a hobby and to choose recreation during times of stress. Knowing these things allows for freedom and an unusual leadership. Your ability to play strengthens your heart, builds the golden body (aura), and affection from you to the world streams forth.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s good to take a long walk in your neighborhood, to understand its flora and fauna, birdsong, your neighbors, and the flow of traffic. It’s also good to make contact with family, friends and relatives, to study your relationships with them, make amends, send forgiveness, nurture love.

In this way, you demonstrate to others your capacities to make contacts which releases love and then wisdom.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Your skills of orderliness and organization, of detail and discrimination are deeply needed by humanity, for many were not taught these abilities when young. Our parents were working with different energies. Virgo skills are highly effective. They lead to a sense of empowerment, to success concerning practical realities and daily living abilities. Acknowledge your skills. Radiate them toward humanity. We then learn from you.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 The Sun in Libra each year allows you to create a new identity, new skills and new choices. Libra’s powerful

and dynamic energy can help us learn new ways to use and handle money, tend to the environment, and develop the art of right human relations (RHR). Before the Aquarian world teacher can re-appear, humanity needs goodwill and RHR, which results in peace. You lead the way for humanity in understanding this.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 A crossroad appears, two paths. You see yourself walking both paths. You remember the story of Arjuna (student of Krishna), realizing you must choose one path or the other. Yet you walk the middle path to understand the polarities. Each path is an opportunity.

Which path is best for you? Which has value leading to a state of happiness (personality and the past)? Which leads to service and joy and testing (soul)? Which do you choose?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Are you making unusual connections with others?

Are you seeking a teacher or guide? Are you asking questions of your contacts with others, and are you sensing kinship different than before? All contacts contain an opportunity for radiating right human relations. This creates a magnet in your life and in turn your hopes and wishes begin to come true. Think on what you do that is benevolent. Have benevolence as your goal.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 The world may be honoring you in some form through how you present yourself, through your work or service or how deeply responsible you are. Should someone begin to stand in your shadow or shift the deserving light away from you, stand in another sunbeam. Always you show others your compassion and understanding.

And offer deep listening. Deep listening ends suffering.

Nothing you ever do is unnoticed.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It is an excellent time, before further retrogrades occur, to create long-range plans and agendas, to contact friends, to begin a new journey, to make travel arrangements and to listen carefully to what your heart has to say. In all interactions, do not argue. Move slowly. Tend to all communications with care. In this way the future flows into the present with ease and harmony.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Show others that you have ability with money and resources. You’re often seen as unable to tend to practical matters. However, you’re very practical and skillful, although your process is very different. The important issues facing you now are money, resources, and all things financial. Some Pisces also may be seeking a new life direction, feeling they must start over again. Call forth courage and the will-to-good. Then the right choice is made.

Gardening is an intrinsic skill you possess. You nurture new life, seeing life emerge from the seeds of creation.

In the womb of your awareness, things green grow, bloom and flower. Be aware of and tend to all kingdoms around you, from young ones to elders. Tend also to your home, family and community. Each sign fosters a gift. Your gift is foundational to life itself.

Scorpio, a preliminary step is being aware of the choices available.

Here are Libra’s choices.

Note the three levels.

Do we create imbalance, seek equilibrium or is our life in perfect balance?

Do we dominate others, are there winners and losers, or does everyone win?

Are relationships personal, interpersonal or transpersonal? Is our focus on self alone, do we realize others exist, or do we stand together as one humanity? Is our philosophy “an eye for an eye,” “eye to eye,” or does a diamond light of love radiate from our forehead (third eye, Ajna center)? Are we materialistic, idealistic or a true realist, seeing the essential spirit within all beings? Are we separators, mediators or peacemakers? Are we part of the new sub-race on Earth called the loving understandings?
