OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Sometimes it has felt to me like almost every drought story we’ve run over the last couple of years could have ended with “… and there’s no solution.” The closer we’ve examined the scope and impact of the drought over that time, the more discouraging the news seems to be.

This week’s cover story by Jacob Pierce is different. Not that it’s all watery rainbows and moist unicorns—there are definitely huge question marks facing conjunctive use, the drought-busting strategy that the Water Supply Advisory Committee is bringing to the Santa Cruz City Council. But after the bruising negativity that has surrounded the flirtations with desal and recycled water locally, the conversation about

SISTER’S KEEPERS

Re: “Family Matter” (GT, 9/30): Thank you for a great article. Yes, Kasese is a very low economic area, with many problems, but this is also a great opportunity for us to partner in ways, as we are already doing, where we can see big changes with small efforts on our part.

But Sister Cities is not meant to be a one-way charity relationship. Our city needs to have benefit back, or the relationship won’t last. On our trip we experienced warm and wonderful welcomes, with locals dancing their hearts out to welcome us.

They don’t have the money and technology we do yet, but they shared what they have, which are their riches of spirit, their traditional culture, their way of thinking— and in those they are rich indeed. We have a lot to gain from them. I’m looking forward to future visits in both directions.

Also, note that our Sister City Committee vote will be postponed until at least the Jan. 11 meeting. The committee wants and needs input from community people who have or want to support the

conjunctive use has restored at least one vital element to the ongoing debate over water: hope. If you don’t know much about it yet, this story lays it out for you in the clearest terms—both pros and cons.

One thing about the advisory committee is that, as we’ve written about before, it’s made up of people who came into the process with wildly different perspectives on Santa Cruz’s water crisis. I remember meeting with a couple of the members early on, and how idealistic they were about what they were doing. It was refreshing to see, but the cynic in me also wondered if they knew what they were in for.

Reading this week’s story, it’s clear the process did put them through the wringer as they chased down every possibility they could reasonably think of. But here’s to them for grinding through it and coming out the other side with their optimism intact—and some reasons for the rest of us to be hopeful, too.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 28 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 On a January morning in 1943, the town of Spearfish, South Dakota experienced very weird weather. At 7:30 a.m. the temperature was minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the next two minutes, due to an unusual type of wind sweeping down over nearby Lookout Mountain, thermometers shot up 49 degrees. Over the next hour and a half, the air grew even warmer. But by 9:30, the temperature had plummeted back to minus 4 degrees.

I’m wondering if your moods might swing with this much bounce in the coming weeks. As long as you keep in mind that no single feeling is likely to last very long, it doesn't have to be a problem. You may even find a way to enjoy the breathtaking ebbs and flows. Halloween costume suggestion: roller coaster rider, Jekyll and Hyde, warm clothes on one side of your body and shorts or bathing suit on the other.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 How dare you be so magnetic and tempting? What were you thinking when you turned up the intensity of your charm to such a high level? I suggest you consider exercising more caution about expressing your radiance. People may have other things to do besides daydreaming about you. But if you really can’t bring yourself to be a little less attractive—if you absolutely refuse to tone yourself down—please at least try to be extra kind and generous. Share your emotional wealth.

Overflow with more than your usual allotments of blessings. Halloween costume suggestion: a shamanic Santa Claus; a witchy Easter Bunny.

GEMINI May21–June20 In the last ten days of November and the month of December, I suspect there will be wild-card interludes when you can enjoy smart gambles, daring stunts, cute tricks, and mythic escapades. But the next three weeks will not be like that. On the contrary. For the immediate future, I think you should be an upstanding citizen, a well-behaved helper, and a dutiful truth-teller. Can you handle that? If so, I bet you will get sneak peeks of the fun and productive mischief that could be yours in the last six weeks of 2015. Halloween costume suggestion: the most normal person in the world.

Members of the gazelle species known as the springbok periodically engage in a behavior known as pronking.

They leap into the air and propel themselves a great distance with all four feet off the ground, bounding around with abandon. What evolutionary purpose does this serve? Some scientists are puzzled, but not naturalist David Attenborough. In the documentary film Africa, he follows a springbok herd as it wanders through the desert for months, hoping to find a rare rainstorm.

Finally it happens. As if in celebration, the springboks erupt with an outbreak of pronking. “They are dancing for joy,� Attenborough declares. Given the lucky breaks and creative breakthroughs coming your way, Cancerian, I foresee you doing something similar. Halloween costume suggestion: a pronking gazelle, a hippetyhopping bunny, a boisterous baby goat.

“A very little key will open a very heavy door,� wrote Charles Dickens in his short story “Hunted Down.� Make that one of your guiding meditations in the coming days, Leo. In the back of your mind, keep visualizing the image of a little key opening a heavy door. Doing so will help ensure that you’ll be alert when clues about the real key’s location become available. You will have a keen intuitive sense of how you'll need to respond if you want to procure it. Halloween costume suggestion: proud and protective possessor of a magic key.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The ancient Hindu text known as the Kama Sutra gives extensive advice about many subjects, including love and sex. “Though a man loves a woman ever so much� reads a passage in chapter four, “he never succeeds in winning her without a great deal of talking.� Take that as your cue, Virgo. In the coming weeks, stir up the

intimacy you want with a great deal of incisive talking that beguiles and entertains. Furthermore, use the same approach to round up any other experience you yearn for. The way you play with language will be crucial in your efforts to fulfill your wishes. Luckily, I expect your persuasive powers to be even greater than they usually are. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate salesperson.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 I encourage you to be super rhythmical and melodious in the coming days. Don’t just sing in the shower and in the car. Hum and warble and whistle while shopping for vegetables and washing the dishes and walking the dog.

Allot yourself more than enough time to shimmy and cavort, not just on the dance floor but anywhere else you can get away with it. For extra credit, experiment with lyrical flourishes whenever you’re in bed doing the jizzle-skazzle. Halloween costume suggestion: wandering troubadour, street musician, free-styling rapper, operatic diva, medicine woman who heals with sound.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I expect you to be in a state of continual birth for the next four weeks. Awakening and activation will come naturally. Your drive to blossom and create may be irresistible, bordering on unruly. Does that sound overwhelming? I don't think it will be a problem as long as you cultivate a mood of amazed amusement about how strong it feels. To help maintain your poise, keep in mind that your growth spurt is a natural response to the dissolution that preceded it. Halloween costume suggestion: a fountain, an erupting volcano, the growing beanstalk from the “Jack and the Beanstalk� fairy tale.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.� So says Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield. Can you guess why I’m bringing it to your attention, Sagittarius? It’s one of those times when you can do yourself a big favor by sloughing off the stale, worn-out, decaying parts of your past. Luckily for you, you now have an extraordinary talent for doing just that. I suspect you will also receive unexpected help and surprising grace as you proceed. Halloween costume suggestion: a snake molting its skin.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Speaking on behalf of your wild mind, I’m letting you know that you’re due for an immersion in revelry and festivity. Plugging away at business as usual could become counterproductive unless you take at least brief excursions to the frontiers of pleasure. High integrity may become sterile unless you expose it to an unpredictable adventure or two. Halloween costume suggestion: party animal, hellraiser, social butterfly, god or goddess of delight. Every one of us harbors a touch of crazy genius that periodically needs to be unleashed, and now is that time for you.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I hope you will choose a Halloween costume that emboldens you to feel powerful. For the next three weeks, it’s in your long-term interest to invoke a visceral sense of potency, dominion, and sovereignty. What clothes and trappings might stimulate these qualities in you? Those of a king or queen? A rock star or CEO? A fairy godmother, superhero, or dragon-tamer? Only you know which archetypal persona will help stir up your untapped reserves of confidence and command.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s time to stretch the boundaries, Pisces. You have license to expand the containers and outgrow the expectations and wage rebellion for the sheer fun of it. The frontiers are calling you. Your enmeshment in small talk and your attachment to trivial wishes are hereby suspended. Your mind yearns to be blown and blown again! I dare you to wander outside your overly safe haven and go in quest of provocative curiosities.

Halloween costume suggestions: mad scientist, wildeyed revolutionary, Dr. Who.

RE: ‘FAIR B AND B’ SF has plenty of top-notch hotels and this has not stopped the severe housing abuse of AirBnB and constant evictions that are currently turning that city upside-down. I have been gone from my beloved Santa Cruz for four years, and as a teacher trying to break back in to any housing at all is seeming impossible. Truly impossible. Santa Cruz better wake up fast if it has any chance to hold fast to its roots. AirBnb is not a friend.

NEWS DIGITAL DETOX

Cabrillo students reflect on their media fast

BY RACHEL ANNE GOODMAN

I have been teaching at Cabrillo since 1996, before cell phones were popular and texting became ubiquitous. One thing I’ve noticed is that before cell phones, students talked to each other more before and after class.

Now, half the students I see are bent over their phones. Many have already been on several devices by the time they arrive at 9 a.m., and will continue to be plugged in until bedtime.

Participating in today’s digital existence is like subjecting ourselves to a large-scale social experiment with no control group. We know ubiquitous mobile devices are rapidly changing the way we relate to each other.

But I wanted to find out how much. So I assigned my Mass Communication students a four-hour “fast” from all media: books, magazines, radio, video games, Internet, and their smartphones.

By the time they were finished, over half of my 29 students likened the urge to use media to an addiction, and most of them missed their phones and computers the most. Here are a few excerpts from the journals they kept during the “fast”:

“Without a cellphone, I felt disconnected from the world and had a sense of loneliness. Looking back, I found this feeling I was experiencing to be pretty pathetic.” –Elliot Ames, 23 “I felt restless and kept finding myself in front of my computer, just staring at my wallpaper. I found myself smoking more than usual. Without music, the silence in my room quickly became oppressive.”

environmentally sound methods of cattle ranching. PHOTO: CIPAV

Graze Under Fire A doctoral student at UCSC examines how a new method of cattle ranching can help restore tropical forests in her home country of Colombia BY KRISTA RIGSBEE

I

n the southwestern mountain forest of Quindío, Colombia, there is a farm known as Finca Pinzacuá. Here in the La Vieja watershed, rancher Don Olimpo raises cattle. It’s the number one land use in Latin America—and its continued expansion has been blamed for the ongoing degradation of native rainforests.

Finca Pinzacuá, like many cattle ranches, began as a forested shade coffee plantation, home to many species of plants and animals. A few live only in the forest. After coffee prices plummeted in the 1990s, Olimpo accepted a subsidy to raze his

trees and ranch cattle instead. The farm became strangely quiet without the song of vibrantly colored birds. A savannah of invasive African grasses replaced native vegetation. Rainwater carved gashes into the steep hillsides, stealing nutrients from the soil before leaving it parched and lifeless. During the dry season, Olimpo’s dehydrated animals found refuge beneath a single remaining tree. Every year, Olimpo used more expensive fertilizer to grow enough grass for his cattle. He feared rising costs would force him to abandon his damaged land.

Cattle ranches like Finca Pinzacuá have a long history in Colombia.

Spanish colonists settled in Latin America in the 16th century, bringing cows and a tradition of ranching. As demand grew, ranching turned to methods ill-suited to the tropics. Today, cattle ranching covers 27 percent of Latin America— and it replaces some of the world’s most biodiverse forests. Researchers estimate that 40 percent of the original forests in Central and South America are gone. Land now used for conventional cattle ranching represents nearly two-thirds of this loss. Without as many trees to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, climate change >13

NEWS GRAZE UNDER FIRE <11 across the globe has worsened.

Despite these stark environmental consequences, conventional cattle ranching keeps spreading—and we’re part of the reason why.

“We are not becoming vegetarian anytime soon,” says researcher Alicia Calle of UC Santa Cruz.

Calle, a Ph.D candidate at UCSC, works with a Colombian research and training organization called CIPAV to understand how sustainable cattle ranching can restore the valuable forests of Latin America. Calle grew up in Colombia and began her career as a graphic designer. But she was long aware of the consequences of cattle ranching; her brother-inlaw Enrique Murgueitio is CIPAV’s executive director, while her sister Zoraida leads the group’s research on ecological restoration. Calle worked with CIPAV as well, and her interests in conservation biology grew. In 2006 she went to Yale University to pursue her master’s degree.

At first, Calle did not share her family’s passion for improving cattle ranching.

“Cattle ranching was the worst thing ever. I didn’t want anything to do with it,” she says.

Calle agreed, however, to help CIPAV analyze the changes that had taken place on farms that

participated in a pilot project for an alternative to conventional cattle ranching. In this method, known as silvopastoral systems, or SPS, native forests and cattle grow together. The pilot project promoted sustainable ranching on more than 50 farms, including Olimpo’s, with technical assistance and financial support.

According to CIPAV, farms using intensive silvopastoral ranching techniques produce more beef and milk than conventional farms—all without clearing any more forests.

When she saw how SPS had improved the land and increased awareness of conservation among local ranchers, Calle had a change of heart. She realized that although cattle ranches are in Colombia to stay, managing them differently might be an effective way to restore forests.

“If we really wanted to have cattle ranching in the tropics, we needed a form of ranching that was designed for the condition of the tropics,” Calle says.

SURVIVAL INSTINCT SPS in Latin America combines native trees, shrubs and pastures.

This creates an agroecosystem: a community of plants and animals that help one another survive. At the center of the community is a legume, a bean-like plant that infuses the

soil with nitrogen through bacteria living in its roots. The nitrogen feeds other plants, replacing the need for chemical fertilizer. Native shrubs and trees provide protein-rich food and shade for the cattle, helping the animals grow healthier and produce more milk. Dense vegetation stabilizes the soil, helping it retain water and provide hydration for the animals and plants—even in drought conditions.

At Finca Pinzacuá, Olimpo began restoring his farm in 2002 with CIPAV’s guidance. From his experience growing shade coffee, Olimpo decided to plant guamo trees to nourish his soil with nitrogen, even before he was introduced to sustainable ranching techniques.

“Everybody said I was crazy—that underneath the trees, pasture would not grow,” Olimpo told Calle.

He proved them wrong. The guamo trees blossom with beautiful white flowers, attracting pollinators and bearing fruit to feed birds and insects.

The canopy provides shade for the cattle, but enough sunlight passes through the branches for grass to grow underneath.

The Colombian government has also embraced silvopastoral ranching methods. In 2010, government officials, along with the Colombian cattle ranching association (FEDEGAN) >16

RECORD TIME On TV, it’s easy to tell when Fred Armisen is joking. He pretty much always is. But what if you saw him in person?

Would you still know?

Fans grappled with that very dilemma when the Portlandia star stopped by Streetlight Records with his electric guitar on Friday for a free 30-minute show announced just a couple days prior.

One of his first tunes was a Jackson Browne-inspired driving song.

“And then, when we were writing it, I couldn’t come up

with many lyrics, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s fine. All you need’s a little bit,” Armisen explained before launching into his sincere-sounding country song about the open road: “Freeway, riding along.

Freeeeway, riding along.

Freeeeewaay …”

Hanging onto every word, it took the adoring crowd only a minute to realize the song was going in circles, and Armisen got people to chime in with harmonies. He followed with a London-punk-style song about police resistance. It’s a song we can only imagine is called

Some of Armisen’s songs were taken from The Blue Jean Committee, a “fake band” he started with fellow Saturday Night Live alum Bill Hader. (For lack of a better comparison, let’s call them a spoof of Loggins and Messina.)

Armisen also played covers like the Clash’s “Train in Vain,” only after inquisitively asking Streetlight staff what section the ’70s British rockers would be in.

“Punk!” everyone told him.

He asked that same question before launching into songs by

SCREEN TIME Face-to-face connections, complexity of conversation, emotional literacy, and maybe even potential relationships are a few things we may be sacrificing for texts.

DIGITAL DETOX <11 One student wrote that he spent time cooking dinner with his parents, something he hadn’t done in weeks. Others felt sad because their parents and siblings were all on separate devices at home.

The brain is a giant filter. Evolution has programmed us to pay attention to shiny objects in our peripheral vision, and when bombarded with texts, social media posts, emails, bank statements, photos, and silly cat videos, our filters get clogged. Our brains get “decision fatigue” from making hundreds of small decisions and switching tasks rapidly for hours at a time.

Recent research at Stanford and MIT found that students who thought they were great multi-taskers were actually really bad at it, and test performance

went down every time their brains had to switch between tasks. Even more worrisome, the effects lingered even after they stopped multi-tasking.

Humans are extremely social creatures, and face-to-face connection is vital to our survival. Conversation is how we build trust, social cohesion and mend misunderstandings. Attention is a way we show love. The research done by Dr. Sherry Turkle at MIT suggests that our emotional literacy, the ability to read others’ feelings through facial expressions and respond appropriately, is declining. In the competition between our 3-D friends or the 2-D world in our palm, the latter often wins.

Turkle blames this on “the magic of the always available elsewhere.” My students say they are uncomfortable telling their friends to hang up and pay attention to

them. A 2015 Pew Research Center study revealed that 89 percent of cellphone users said they had used phones in social gatherings, and 82 percent said they felt bad about it. It appears that guilt, the enforcer of social norms, isn’t strong enough to override the curiosity of who just texted us.

The good news is that focus and attention are things that can be regained by unplugging, if only for one night a week, or four hours. Some students found calm by getting on nature’s time.

“I was able to shut my eyes and listen to the seagulls, the currents flowing through the waves, the dogs barking as they caught the frisbee. I was able to observe life through the lenses of my own two eyes rather than through my iPhone lens. I realized in that

short period of time that all my recent life events have been wasted “capturing” the moment on my phone.”

–Bella Cisneros, 20 After the fast, students reported a greater awareness of the dominance of devices in their lives, and some have cut back on screen time. Perhaps digital detox needs to be part of the college curriculum.

These days I am leading more mindfulness exercises in class. We do more small group activities. We learn each other’s names and backgrounds. We talk about the role of media in our lives.

It is possible to help students reclaim the calm, focus and rich complexity of conversation and relationships that belong to us as a species. But first, we have to hang up and listen.

and global conservation and funding organizations, launched the Mainstreaming Biodiversity into Sustainable Cattle Ranching (MBSCR) project. This initiative has hefty goals of fostering 126,000 acres of silvopastoral pastures, preserving almost 15,000 acres of forest, and creating 39,000 acres of strategic corridors to connect protected areas by 2017.

TURNING POINTS After experiencing her own transformation, Calle hopes to inspire such skeptics to give cattle ranching a second chance. She is now pursuing doctoral research in environmental studies at UCSC to understand whether sustainable cattle ranches truly can restore forests. She is also exploring what motivates the farmers to maintain their forested farms once financial support is gone.

“One of the main goals of my research is to provide the scientific evidence that these new forms of cattle ranching are good for conservation and restoration,” Calle says.

This summer, Calle visited Finca Pinzacuá and the other pilot project farms in Colombia to measure how the forest regrowth is progressing at each one. She sampled the vegetation to document changes in the landscape and the diversity of plants growing at the farms. These measurements will show where forests have returned— and how well they’re doing.

When Olimpo showed Calle around his transformed farm, his shy face glowed with pride. Their refreshing walk beneath the trees was accompanied by a symphony of birds. The heat didn’t feel oppressive.

He pointed out many species of plants and critters, the naturally green grass, and his fat, happy cattle. Olimpo turned to silvopastoral ranching in economic desperation, but now he understands the environmental and ethical benefits, too.

Degrading their land was once the only option for Latin American ranchers like Olimpo. Now, silvopastoral systems may provide a way out.

“I was a criminal,” Olimpo told Calle. “What I did to my farm was unforgivable.”

Water Treatment Plant might need upgrades for a new water project, but not everyone agrees on the cost. PHOTO: JACOB PIERCE

TheWaterDiviners Conjunctive use is being touted by the city’s advisory committee as the last great hope for Santa Cruz’s water supply. But will it work, and at what cost? BY JACOB PIERCE

S

policy circles as “conjunctive use,” stretch back more than three decades.

Over that time, politicians and residents have watched the excess river water flow out to the ocean each winter through the city of Santa Cruz without getting stored, as the massive underground basin dwindles just a couple of miles south. Now, in the midst of a crippling drought, many believe they can both be part of one big solution.

When the city of Santa Cruz put plans for a controversial regional desalination plant with the Soquel Creek Water District on hold, it created the Water Supply Advisory Committee (WSAC) to further investigate ideas like this one.

Now conjunctive use is a core part of the WSAC’s recommendations to the City Council. They’re proposing to take the water that would be stored in the Purisima Aquifer and inject it into the ground around Soquel or Capitola—a process called aquifer storage and recharge (ASR). The numbers have fluctuated over the years, but the latest estimates project that Santa Cruz might be able to store 500 million gallons a year this way.

THE COST OF DEWING BUSINESS Rick Longinotti, the leader of Desal Alternatives and one of 14 members on the committee, says he’s excited about

the possibilities of this new approach, and relatively confident it will solve the city’s water shortage problems—even eliminating some of Soquel Creek Water District’s issues, too.

Sarah Mansergh, who represented the Surfrider Foundation on the WSAC, cites several reasons why she considers the option top-tier, including the possibility of it reducing saltwater intrusion, its significance as a regional solution, and its seemingly clear path to political acceptance. “The beauty of this aquifer approach is that it offers a lot more value in the end, and provides the scalability where we can deal with the uncertainty of the future,” she says.

Conjunctive use sounds simple enough, but there are a few unknowns in the process, and some experts have reservations about a plan that, with most recent estimates hovering around $159 million, could easily end up costing more than desal, which was lampooned as an overly expensive boondoggle by many of the same activists who now support conjunctive use.

Longinotti insists that some of the upgrades being attached to the cost of conjunctive use aren’t essential, and that the plan may end up costing closer to $70 million. “Those numbers have been jumping around a lot,” he says.

Others aren’t so sure.

“Great. Show me. If it only costs half, I’m 100 percent in,” says Mark

omewhere between the rolling foothills of Soquel and the famous surf spots along East Cliff Drive lies what might be Santa Cruz County’s biggest reservoir. It isn’t as awe-inspiring as Loch Lomond, which reflects towering evergreens of the San Lorenzo Valley, nor as well understood.

The Purisima Aquifer, which stretches from Seabright to Corralitos, has the capacity to store a few billion gallons, according to latest estimates, all of it lying beneath the streets of MidCounty.

But this groundwater basin has been depleted faster than it could be replenished by rainfall. A lesson in the dangers of over-pumping, the aquifer is Soquel Creek Water District’s only source of potable water, and the threat of drinking-water contamination looms as seawater intrusion creeps slowly in from the shores around Pleasure Point.

Once a well has been contaminated, it’s basically ruined.

The aquifer has also become a symbol of hope, however, for water activists from groups like Desal Alternatives.

They’re enthusiastic about plans to pump winter water from nearby rivers, like the San Lorenzo, and store it underground in this “virtual reservoir,” as it’s been called, so that it can be pumped back out for use in droughts and dry summers.

<19 Mesiti-Miller, who also served on the WSAC. “I’m an engineer, and I know that whenever engineers put together cost estimates they’re always higher. It’s impossible to project what the cost of this is going to be.”

STORAGE WARS “ASR is not as simple as storing water in a bathtub.”

That is how a team of water consultants qualified underground water storage in a memo about recharge projects around the nation, successful and otherwise, to the committee this past summer.

“Some projects have been successful at meeting anticipated goals,” the consultants wrote, “whereas others prove marginal or wholly unsuccessful at different stages in the planning process, and even after implementation.”

The WSAC has presented a threepronged set of recommendations, including ASR, to ensure reliability and a variety of options. The City Council will take action on their recommendations next month.

The first piece is increased conservation, which will save 200 million to 250 million gallons a year by 2035 on top of what the city is already rolling out. That’s more than just puddle water, but still less than a quarter of the projected shortfall in a worst-case scenario drought year of 1.2 to 1.4 billion gallons. The estimate takes into account the uncertainties posed by global warming and the changes coming down the pipe requiring the city to take less water from its rivers and streams to protect endangered salmon.

The second piece is ASR and what the committee is calling “in-lieu recharge,” a plan to pump excess winter flows, sharing them with nearby districts’ customers without pumping them into wells. In theory, Santa Cruz would be able to reclaim some of this water if needed.

The city will be trying out a smallscale version of this plan as early as this winter. The city water director has worked out an agreement with Soquel Creek Water District’s interim director to send excess flows from North Coast streams to the neighboring district.

THE WATER DIVINERS <20 The final prong of the strategy is further consideration of recycled wastewater, with desal as a backup.

State health officials are currently studying the feasibility and safety of recycled water for potable use. With the drought as an imperative, many experts expect them to OK a practice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commonplace in the Middle East and parts of Texas. Still, even cautious supporters of recycled water are worried about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;yuckâ&#x20AC;? factor and how it will be received in Santa Cruz. Activists like Longinotti want it to only be used as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;last resort,â&#x20AC;? partly because of its higher energy cost.

That leaves conjunctive use and aquifer recharge front-and-center in discussions, but some questions about its feasibility remain. For instance, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treated water could foul and undergo chemical reactions in the basins of either Scotts Valley or Soquel Creek water districts. The treated water could be rejected by the ground itself.

There could also be roadblocks to drafting long-term agreements with neighboring districts for how much water the city would be able to get back and when. Huge portions of the injected water could seep deep into the aquifer and basically disappear, although proponents argue that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad problem to have. In theory, if the water isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to withdraw, that means it has leaked into nearby creeks or is preventing saltwater intrusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a way, those are all good reasons,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Engfer, a retired software developer who sat on the WSAC. But the goal at the end of the day is to have a couple billion gallons stored away for use in droughts. And engineer Mesiti-Miller says that with so many unknowns, conjunctive use will be hard to bet on going forward.

But if the community really wants to do this, he says, there are ways to make it happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only building material that matters is money. You can make anything,â&#x20AC;? says Mesiti-Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to the moon. It cost us 10 years and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many millions of dollars. You can make

this groundwater solution work.

How much are you willing to spend to do it?â&#x20AC;?

The estimates for its cost have jumped around, going as high as $200 million in June, according to some consultants.

Jan Bentley, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former water production superintendent, agrees with Longinotti that even the more recent estimates around $159 million are probably high.

More than a third of the projected cost is for improvements to the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant, which might require upgrades to increase its capacity up to 14 million gallons per day. As far as anyone knows for sure, the current capacity of the plant is about 10 million gallons a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only enough to send one or two million gallons daily to Soquel or Scotts Valley after meeting Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. (The plan calls for five million gallons per day to Soquel Creek Water District.)

A longtime supporter of Desal Alternatives, Bentley says the 10-million-gallon estimate is way too low and that 12 million gallons daily â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be a fairer, conservative number.â&#x20AC;?

Terry McKinney, the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current production superintendent, says that he too thinks â&#x20AC;&#x153;this water transfer thing is going to work,â&#x20AC;? and that the cost estimates sound to him like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the high side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might be overestimating some costs. If you tell everyone itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cost $80 million, and it ends up costing $120 million, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an argument,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you tell them itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cost $120 million, and it costs $80 million, you look good.â&#x20AC;?

Either way, the plant will likely need some upgrades to treat dirtier, more â&#x20AC;&#x153;turbidâ&#x20AC;? river water. Normally, the city switches to reservoir water whenever turbidity is high.

But under conjunctive use, water officials would harness that water so that it can be used and shared.

Longinotti says that regional partners could share in costs for a solution to problems like this.

The process of the WSAC itself

THE WATER DIVINERS

cost about $2 million, with most of the money going to outside consultants.

One thing Engfer, the software engineer, has learned this past year and a half on the committee is that water isn’t a cheap commodity—at least not when it comes to planning for the future.

“It was amusing. When we started out, Rosemary [Menard, the city’s water director] joked that all water projects are $100 million. And we kind of laughed about it,” Engfer says. “All water projects are kind of $100 million. I mean, it’s a lot of money. The good news is that these kinds of improvements generally have long, effective lives, so you can finance them and spread the cost over 20 or 30 years. And we spread the cost over all of our customer base, and it ends up being relatively affordable, certainly more affordable to deal with it now than it would be to wait another generation. And in this way, I think we are solving the problem for generations to come, which is good work from a societal perspective.”

FROM THE GROUND UP

there will always be uncertainties, pros and cons.

It would be unfair, for instance, to characterize conjunctive use as the only proposal with question marks this early in the process. Recycled water has its unknowns, too, even aside from the pending decision of state health officials. At this point, no one can say where a treatment plant would go—for instance, whether or not it could fit into the current wastewater treatment facility on California Avenue and Bay Street, assuming that the current location has a big enough footprint to accommodate more operations, which may or may not be the case.

“There have been some discussions talking about ideas, but there’s not been anything I’m aware of that’s been concrete,” says Dan Seidel, the superintendent of wastewater collection, which is in the city’s public works department.

Under the WSAC’s recommendations, water department staff will work on a couple of different ideas at the same time. Staff can begin building pilot wells to test the feasibility of aquifer recharge, and meanwhile do preliminary studying on recycled water—the “plan B” option, as committee members call it. Experts should know more about each of these plans this time next year.

“There’s work to do that won’t cost a gazillion dollars, but will help get us in a better situation to really understand what those options are, and to evaluate how they would fit here,” says Menard.

The council might provide direction on the best way to prioritize the different options.

The WSAC’s document outlines a few triggers spread out over the next 10 years to indicate how long the city should pursue the aquifer recharge strategy before changing gears.

Some of the triggers have to do with how much customers would be paying per unit of water under the various plans. Others have to do with the amount of water production that the different options could

Engfer, a longtime skeptic of desal, came into the first WSAC meeting over 18 months ago practically overflowing with big ideas.

“My favorite solution coming into the whole process was offstream storage in the old played-out quarries,” Engfer says of proposals to use abandoned lime quarries as reservoirs. “It seemed a natural way to be able to take advantage and in essence remediate or approve some land that has been disturbed.”

Committee members looked at four or five quarries, and they soon learned they all had problems. For starters, limestone dissolves in water, so engineers would have to find some way to cover and seal the entire pits. Even after that, the quarries would not have been seismically sturdy enough to support the water’s weight.

But when it comes to fixing water shortfall of over a billion gallons,

up to San Francisco, where a friend recommended he apply at a restaurant with a name he couldn’t spell—Chez Panisse. He stayed for 20 years, moving up from line cook to expediter to sous chef to the chef.

“I loved my job,” he says, “but I always wondered what my food would be like, so I decided to open my own restaurant.”

Thus was Camino born, in a former furniture store on an unremarkable street in Oakland, in 2008. Moore chose the location because it allowed him to build a fireplace for the ages. Nine feet wide and built by a French stonemason, it is a massive presence, holding three grills and managed by three chefs.

LITERATURE

“When we hire cooks with restaurant backgrounds, they’re confused, because we use mortars and pestles and handgrind stuff.”

— Russell Moore

Camino. It defines Moore’s approach to cooking, which is exacting yet adaptable, favoring serendipity over compromise. In considering a cookbook, he had a hard time picturing how it would play out on the page.

“We waited to write This is Camino until we had something to say.

At first, we thought a cookbook based on a restaurant with a giant fireplace seemed obnoxious. Who has one of those? But then I realized I’ve spent most of my life cooking outside because my home kitchen is really small. It’s easy to do, and not all the recipes are fire-oriented.

A lot of them reflect how we run a kitchen, how we use the leftover bits of something to make the next thing, and how, even though it’s not all planned, there’s a theory behind it.”

Moore and Hopelain run a restaurant that reflects their values.

Camino is completely organic, which means the menu changes all the time. Hopelain calls it grandmotherly cooking, and Moore explains. “We make food in a really ‘home cooking’ way. When we hire cooks with restaurant backgrounds, they’re confused, because we use mortars and pestles and handgrind stuff. We don’t have a lot of machines. We all work on this big, beautiful butcher block with clay cazuelas to hold our ingredients.”

When I ask him about the challenge of working this way, he laughs. “If you knew me, you’d know I can’t plan well. It’s more like I have a sense in the back of my head about what needs to be used and when,” he says. “We don’t conserve and pickle because it’s cool, although it is. We had to in the beginning, and it really changed our food. We could have left the sauerkraut juice in the fridge forever, but I figured out a way to use it to season soup, and it was a revelation. That’s the fun part.”

Recently, Camino established a no-tipping policy. “We had to do what we thought was right, and that meant a livable wage for everyone,” he says. It wasn’t a fly-by-night idea.

“We planned for six months before we did it, but what we have now is a real team, and we have the type of staff that loves that team spirit. Our customers love it, too.”

His punk roots show again, perhaps, when Moore explains why he has refused to compromise.

“Sometimes it’s not about the money. It’s more like, ‘Let’s have the restaurant we always dreamed about, the place we said we were going to have.’”

Russell Moore and Allison Hopelain will discuss ‘This is Camino’ at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Free.

Chamber of Secrets OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Call it chamber folk—or don’t—but Bombadil combines sharp songwriting with a fascinating soundscape BY CAT JOHNSON

30

I

n 2005, James Phillips answered a Craigslist ad for a drummer posted by the Durham, North Carolina band Bombadil. He was a good fit, so the band brought him on board. Since no one else wanted to do audience banter during performances, Phillips took over that role as well. Before he knew it, he was sharing lead vocal duties.

“They gave me a microphone because no one liked to talk on stage,” he says. “Then they said, ‘Maybe you should start singing.’

So I taught myself piano and here I am, 10 years later, writing songs and co-lead singing in a band. I would have never expected that.”

Often described as a chamber folk band, Bombadil plays sparse, catchy tunes driven by front-andcenter vocals that fall somewhere between Donovan and Vampire Weekend. At the core of the most

recent incarnation of the band are Phillips and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Michalak.

There’s an instrumental spaciousness to Bombadil’s recent work, but don’t mistake it for simplicity. The band has a knack for gently layering acoustic instruments, electronics, textures and vocals to create a complex, interwoven sound that holds up nicely to repeat listens. On the band’s latest studio album, Hold On, horns, guitars, synth bass, and bells exist alongside beats, echoes, and something that sounds like a muted lute. There is an undeniable chamber-esque vibe to the whole thing.

When asked about the chamber folk description, Phillips says he finds it a bit cryptic.

“I don’t really know what that means, but I like those two words

put together,” he says. “When people ask me what kind of band I’m in, I’m never sure how to answer. I usually just say that we like to sing a lot. I feel like chamber folk makes sense. Maybe it sounds a little too formal, like we’re all wearing bow ties and playing classical instruments, but I think it could apply.”

Lyrically, Bombadil has a penchant for slice-of-life songs that put the listener into the shoes of the singer. On Hold On, the band takes this observational songwriting approach and runs with it, telling tales of falling asleep on the subway, seeing sharkskin boots, staying in hotel rooms, and wondering if you’re being patient with a potential love or wasting your time. The album feels like you’re wandering through someone else’s life, including

breakups, being in love, meeting friends, and growing up.

“I think the writing has evolved and changed over time,” says Phillips. “The songs are always grounded in personal experience, but this new record has more focus on that stuff. In the past, they were storytelling songs, but this one’s all just personal and what’s happening.”

Now five albums in, Bombadil had a scare in 2009 when Michalak, who is a driving creative force behind the band, lost the use of his hands. Diagnosed with neural tension, he spent several years unable to play instruments with his hands. But that didn’t stop him from making music. He learned to use a computer mouse with his foot and used electronics to compose and play. At the same time, Phillips had moved to Portland and fallen in with friends who were into electronic music. The forced hiatus and introduction of new styles and instruments proved, in the end, to be good for the band.

“A lot of our electronic textures come from that time,” says Phillips.

“In hindsight, it was a very influential time ... it wasn’t just waiting for Daniel to get better.

I learned a lot and played a lot of music with a lot of different people.”

Once Michalak recovered the use of his hands, Bombadil had new sounds to work with, and a renewed commitment to playing together. These days, the band, like the sound, is sparse.

Comprising Phillips and Michalak, with other artists stepping in occasionally for gigs and recording, Bombadil is gearing up for the next project, a deepening of the collaboration between the two songwriters.

“Now that it’s just Daniel and I,” says Phillips, “we’re really trying to co-write as much as possible and get both of our voices in. Songs come in so many different ways, it’s a new experience to focus on just doing that.”

Bombadil will perform at 9 p.m on Thursday, Oct. 29 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND CHERAKI

Heather Christie sings in local duo the Feral Fauna, which combines organic acoustic instrumentation with danceable electronics. Christie also has a solo project titled Cheraki, but though it shares some influences, she sees it as a very different kind of outlet.

“I like to think of it as my feminine project. It’s more introspective. It really invites you to listen and get your own experience, rather than going for more of a show,” says Christie.

Cheraki is an interesting take on electronic music, as the songwriting is dark, emotive and ethereal. Even with electronic drums in the mix, it doesn’t inspire dancing as much as it does reflection.

OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“The trick is to bridge the timeless sounds with the modern world without losing the soul that makes music so magical,” Christie says.

38

The marriage of live instrumentation and electronics is even more blurry with Cheraki than Feral Fauna. A lot of what she does begins with vocal looping and the sampling of different organic sounds, which are then manipulated in a computer.

“I use a lot of different sounds. Like I will record the sound of book pages slapping, then put that in as part of the beat, or put a filtered delay on it and create a sound effect from that— basically turning organic sounds into digitized soundscapes. I can literally pick up any sound, record it on the iPhone, and digitize it,” Christie says.

She will be releasing her latest EP Shades of She this winter, and the single “Like Rain” on iTunes on Oct 27.

On Halloween, she performs at the Freaker’s Ball. AARON CARNES INFO: 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.

JASON MARSALIS

THURSDAY 10/29 JAZZ

LIONEL HAMPTON BIG BAND WITH JASON MARSALIS Lionel Hampton helped spark several musical revolutions, from the seminal 1930s swing of Benny Goodman’s integrated quartet to his hugely popular big band’s rollicking proto-R&B in the 1940s. Known as a keen talent scout, he kept a big band stocked with excellent musicians almost until his death in 2002 at the age of 94. Now three Hamp veterans, including his former music director, saxophonist and primary arranger Lance Bryant, have revived the ensemble, with NEA Jazz Master Jason Marsalis holding down the vibes chair.

FRIDAY 10/30 JAM BAND/ROCK

MELVIN SEALS & JGB It’s not clear whether Melvin Seals

transforms the late-Jerry Garcia into a gospel artist, or if there was always a bit of gospel there and Seals just draws it out. Either way, seeing Seals perform is like attending Sunday services in the church you wish you grew up in.

Holding down Hammond B3 organ and keyboard duties, Seals taps into the universal joy and multi-dimensional consciousness that defined Garcia and company, while adding more soul and groove to the mix. With the help of JGB, comprising Dave Hebert on electric guitar, John Paul McLean on bass and Pete Lavezzoli on drums, Seals keeps the spirit of Garcia very much alive. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

AMERICANA

ANTSY MCCLAIN & THE TROUBS Antsy McClain is a goofball. If you’re unconvinced, check out his band photo, where he stands in front of a “trailer park”—a park with trailers sprouting out of the ground. His music is Americana and old-timey, and is often steeped in the kind of humor that anyone who has ever complained about smartphones or Wall

Street greed would appreciate. But there’s something very sincere about McClain. Though they’re usually delivered in jokes, his core principles of valuing family and friends over money and “success” are all over his tunes, and every once in a while he drops the silliness altogether and sings a truly moving ballad. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320 Cedar St, #2, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

POST-PUNK

CEREMONY Formed in 2005 in Rohnert Park, this quintet started as an in-yourface, take-no-prisoners hardcore punk band à la Infest and Suicidal Tendencies. However, their last two albums—2012’s Zoo and this year’s L-Shaped Man—depart from the snarling formula and dive into pre-hardcore post-punk. Joy Division, Wire and Pere Ubu play a huge role in the band’s new sound, and one can only imagine their live show will be a mix between hipsters who love Interpol and hardcore kids who are looking to mosh. Let the games begin! MAT WEIR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $14/door. 429-4135.

INCITERS Northern Soul has gotten more attention in the states in the last decade than it ever got in its first wave in the ’60s. Locally, the band responsible for bringing the music to so many Santa

TUESDAY 11/3 INDIE

OF MONTREAL

Soulful, vibrant and sexy, Las Cafeteras is one of the best bands you’ve never heard of—yet. Formed in 2008, this seven-piece East Los Angeles band combines sounds and traditions from across cultures to create an Afro-Mexican-Chicano sound completely of their own. Throughout their debut album, It’s Time, you’ll hear musicians dancing on the tarima, flamenco guitar, bilingual poetry and even the quijada (a donkey jawbone)—how cool is that? MW

By the mid-2000s, Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes perfected the art of setting his deepest, darkest anxieties to highly infectious dance music.

The group started in the mid-’90s, but it wasn’t until 2007’s Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? that he finally created his masterpiece, and it’s one of the best records of the decade. Set to disco beats, bubbling synths, and subtly complex psychpop hooks, he describes in painful detail the breakdown of his marriage and his own fragile psyche.

And oddly, it’s a really fun record.

Barnes, who is the only constant in Of Montreal, generally follows the same happy-tune-depressing-lyric format, but has gone in different directions musically more recently, with country, funk and droning orchestral music. His latest record, Aureate Gloom, is a bit of a return to his mid-2000s disco-psych-pop sound. AC

A long-running Santa Cruz favorite, SambaDá pulls in elements of Brazilian music, salsa, cumbia, funk, and reggae and blends it all up in a Carnival-worthy atmosphere of heart-thumping rhythms, soul-stirring melodies, high-energy dancers, and a vibrant tapestry of cultures and traditions. Formed in 1998 by capoeira master Papiba Godinho, saxophonist Anne Stafford, and drummer Gary Kehoe, SambaDá has become a standout of the West Coast world music scene and one of the must-see local acts. On Halloween, they bring the party to Moe’s. Pro tip: Wear a costume you can dance in. CJ

Cruzans is the Inciters. They started in 1995, and have been steadfast in their mission to deliver this brilliant music to new ears. The group is quite a spectacle live: an 11-piece ensemble with horns and multiple singers. They’re the perfect soundtrack for crazy Halloween fun. AC

In 1990, alternative rock band Yo La Tengo released Fakebook, an album of cover songs by artists including Cat Stevens, the Flamin’ Groovies, and Gene Clark. Earlier this year, they circled back around to the concept with Stuff Like That There, an album of cover songs, “covers” of their own songs, and a few new tunes. This time around, they take on the Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love,” Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” the Lovin Spoonful’s “Butchie’s Tune” and more on what is a perfect lazy afternoon listen. In support of the album, Yo La Tengo is on the road performing acoustic versions of the songs. On Nov. 15, they hit Santa Cruz. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

APPLE OF HIS EYE Michael Fassbender takes the lead in Danny Boyle’s biographical drama ‘Steve Jobs.’

Hardware Wars OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Apple visionary examined in ‘Steve Jobs’

44

L

eave it to scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin to come up with a punchy, comprehensible way to distill the complex story of the visionary who invented Apple computers into a feature film.

Sorkin’s sharp, literate script is the hardware that supports director Danny Boyle’s hugely entertaining biographical drama, Steve Jobs. It’s been open season on Jobs and his legacy in the four years since his death, with this film following the fictional drama Jobs, and the doc The Man in the Machine.

But Steve Jobs is extra impressive in the way Sorkin assembles the raw material of Jobs’ life, and the propulsive energy with which Boyle tells the tale. Sorkin (The Social Network; Moneyball; creator and head scribe on The West Wing) chooses to focus on three crucial moments

when Jobs’ career, celebrity and personal life intersect, literally, on the public stage: at the press launch for the Macintosh in 1984, the press launch of the ill-fated NeXT Cube in 1988, and the press launch for the first iMac in 1998—which was destined to revolutionize home computing forever.

Boyle’s savvy filmmaking keeps Jobs in the crosshairs, as one calamity after another befalls him and his team backstage at each of these events; this amps up suspense and tension in the moment, while providing a sturdy platform for a few brief, illuminating glimpses into the past. Factor in three Oscar-bait performances—Michael Fassbender, mercurial, infuriating and fascinating in the title role (onscreen every nanosecond in a variety of period haircuts), Kate

BY LISA JENSEN Winslet, as Jobs’ no-nonsense gal Friday, Joanna Hoffman, and Seth Rogen as stoically truth-telling Steve Wozniak—and the result is just about irresistible.

In 1984, the now-classic Orwellian ad for the first Apple Macintosh has just debuted on the Super Bowl.

Backstage at the product launch (filmed on location at the Flint Center in Cupertino), Apple guru Steve (Fassbender) is fretting over a malfunction in his prototype, bullying his staff and engineers to fix it before showtime. (“If we blow this thing, IBM will swoop down on us like a Batman villain.”)

Marketing diva and voice of reason Joanna (Winslet) sticks by his side, attempting to resolve the crisis while buffering the team from Steve’s abrasive demands.

Wozniak (Rogen), the tech-meister

who co-founded Apple with Steve in his garage, tries to get Steve to give a shout-out to the team that created the Apple II, the company’s early model. And Steve’s onetime girlfriend, Chrisann (Katherine Waterston), begs for support for the 5-year-old daughter, Lisa, that Steve hotly denies is his.

Four years later, he’s been ousted from Apple, apparently in an attempted shakeup he forced on CEO John Sculley (the excellent Jeff Daniels), another old friend and colleague. Head of his own company, Steve is about to debut something called the NeXT Cube, a package with no internal OS; he’s waiting to see what the latest Macintosh hopes to achieve so he can have his new team develop the software and sell it—and himself—back to Apple. (Joanna calls it “The Steve Jobs Revenge Machine.”) Sure enough, back at Apple in 1998, Steve confronts all the messy threads of his life as he’s about to launch the iMac. Steve doesn’t evolve much, as the film reiterates its main themes— Steve’s ruthless perfectionism, his drive to forget the past in order to embrace (or invent) the future, and his relationship with Lisa (wellplayed by three young actresses at different ages). But his mission to get technology into the hands of the people informs everything, and the quick-witted script is constantly engaging. Joanna calls Steve on his “reality distortion field.” When Woz (who’s “tired of being Ringo when I know I was John”) asks non-engineer Steve what he actually does, Steve replies, “I play the orchestra.”

I don’t know enough about the facts of Jobs’ life to know how much of this material is ripped from transcripts or eyewitness accounts of these events, and how much is pure speculation. But in this media age—largely created by Jobs and Wozniak—people who have had any kind of impact on the culture pass quickly into mythology. And that’s what this movie is all about: popular culture caught in the act of mythologizing itself.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK OUR BRAND IS CRISIS Sandra Bullock plays Jane, a high-stakes, all-or-nothing campaign manager who is sent to Bolivia to install a new leader against her nemesis, the coordinator for the opposing candidate, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton). Based on the 2005 documentary of the same name, the film follows the events which quickly take Jane’s fight out of the realm of pure politics when the country starts to disintegrate into war and chaos. David Gordon Green directs. Sandra Bullock, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie co-star. (R) 107 minutes.

OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE “It’s the zombie apocalypse, c’mon, we’re Scouts, were trained for this,” says one Boy Scout to another, because in between the zombie cats, flesh-eating high schoolers and savior stripper (ahem, cocktail waitress) they can use their essential outdoors survival training to save the world, right?

Christopher Landon directs.

Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

46

TRUTH A group of journalists stumble upon the “holy grail” of documents—proof that President George W. Bush lied about his military service. Only, once the story goes national, it turns out the memos haven’t been confirmed and some of them can easily be forged on Microsoft Word. Truth is the story of the 2004 CBS “60 Minutes” report which sank anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes’ career. James Vanderbilt directs. Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Dennis Quaid co-star. (R) 121 minutes.

NOW PLAYING 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. 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.

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.

BURNT The Netflix show Chef’s Table gives a fairly good look into the angst, desperation and rock-stardom of today’s top chefs—Burnt blows it wide open. Bradley Cooper is Adam Jones, a two-star Michelin chef, who is hunted, wanted, idolized, and despised on the path to culinary perfection and restaurant redemption. John Wells directs. Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl co-star. (NR) 100 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.

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.

HE NAMED ME MALALA Malala Yousafzai is still a teenager, but it’s 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 co-star.

(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.

PAN Wait, have you heard this one—the story of the boy who would never grow up? You may think you have, but never like this. Director Joe Wright and the studio who brought us Harry Potter create Peter Pan’s previously unimagined origin story— the one before Hook’s hand got chomped off and Pan was the hero.

Hugh Jackman is hairless and almost unrecognizable as Blackbeard, and Rooney Mara plays Tiger Lily in an epic CGI fantasy world that paints a Neverland where friends start off as enemies and enemies as friends.

Levi Miller, Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund co-star. (PG) 111 minutes.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION For the crazy kids who weren’t freaked out enough by the handful of other Paranormal Activity films, here’s one about a family that has to protect their daughter from an evil entity using a special camera that can see spirits. We’ll be watching this one with all the lights on, in broad daylight, a solid thirty feet from the movie screen—but, hey, at least it’s the final installment in the franchise so thankfully the nightmares will end soon. Gregory Plotkin directs. Chris J.Murray, Brit Shaw, Ivy George co-star.

(R) 88 minutes.

ROCK THE KASBAH Music manager Richie Lanz (Bill Murray) has seen better days. So, he puts an unconscious Zooey Deschanel on a plane to Afghanistan, ends up handcuffed to a bed wearing a blonde wig and diapers, meets his muse in Kate Hudson, hears a magical voice

in the Afghani winds and finds the girl behind it. Plus Bruce Willis and Danny McBride. Need we say more? Barry Levinson directs. Bill Murray, Leem Lubany, Zooey Deschanel co-star. (R) 100 minutes.

STEVE JOBS Reviewed this issue.

(R) 122 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.

VICTORIA Forging dangerous connections with strange people in a strange city, Victoria finds herself in underground dealings that are far from the idyllic holiday that brought her to Berlin. Directed by the genius behind cult classic Run Lola Run, Sebastian Schipper, the entire film was shot in one shot, no cuts, no stops—creating a world of fast paced drama where nothing is as it seems and every second counts. German and English. Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski co-star. 138 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.

FOOD & DRINK AUTUMN WINE DINNER If you hurry, you might still snare a reservation for this Friday’s (Oct. 30) Alfaro Wine Dinner at Chaminade.

Served out on the terrace patio—the one with the exceptional view of the Bay below—the dinner starts with wine and passed hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m., followed by a five-course dinner created by Executive Chef Kirsten Ponza. Joined by “endless” Alfaro wines will be seasonal items like pork belly with legumes and chestnuts, Caesar salad, roast bell pepper soup, and a red-wine-braised pork shank with roasted fennel and potatoes. Dessert? Spiced maple crème brûlée provides the sweet finish. Reservations, $110: 831.4755600; chaminade.com.

MICHELIN MAN Chef and owner of Manresa, David Kinch, is elated about a third Michelin star of excellence

Seeing Stars Manresa wins a third Michelin star, plus paninis in Davenport and fried-chicken dinners BY CHRISTINA WATERS

Y

es, David Kinch is stoked about his latest culinary triumph. The Michelin folks, those very picky, very discerning arbiters of dining excellence, awarded a third star to Manresa, the innovative Los Gatos restaurant built by the creativity and hard work of chef Kinch and staff. Basking in the food industry’s equivalent of a triple Oscar, Kinch emailed me with some words of thanks and pride.

“I have always personally regarded any recognition from Michelin as

the highest sort of honor in our industry,” he writes. “Right now, I am so happy and proud of the wonderful staff and family we have at Manresa. They truly deserve this!”

Kinch also admits that keeping those stars is always a challenge. “We will continue to work hard to offer the best and most pleasurable experience for our guests. That is the most important part of all.”

Not only has Kinch’s own aesthetic regard for ingredients and presentation propelled his dining room to glory, but so did the alliance

with Love Apple Farms as his exclusive grower of rare, bio-dynamic, and seasonally perfect herbs, fruit, flowers, and produce.

Congratulations are obviously in order to Love Apple’s Cynthia Sandberg for her tireless fieldwork on the part of Kinch and his eclectic requests for various unexpected plantings. And, watch your PBS programming in November for the chef documentary Mind of a Chef—the second half of Season 4 showcases Kinch, his coastal backyard, and the fields of Love Apple Farms at mindofachef.com.

We split a very large, delicious Monterey Panini ($12) while ocean-watching at the Davenport Roadhouse last week. The sandwich, which comes with either excellent fries or a delicious salad of greens and pickled carrots, is loaded with roast chicken, mushrooms, jack cheese, spinach, and garlic aioli.

The ocean view is free.

Another delicious idea just came down by email—turns out that starting Nov. 1, Ristorante Avanti will be running a Fogline Farm Fried Chicken Dinner every Sunday night.

That’s fried chicken with potatoes and gravy, Brussels sprouts from Rodoni Farms with pancetta and pumpkin seeds, all for $24. Now that sounds like a plan.

WINE OF THE WEEK: MUNS 2009 SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS PINOT NOIR I celebrated my recent trip to England with a bottle of this spectacular creation ($40), served with the last of our local king salmon. Full of earthy, musky spice, plums and a nose of—trust me on this—geraniums and bay leaf—this complex, well-balanced wine underscores the ability of our region to create significant pinot noir. Another score for winemaker Tony Craig. Made from Ed Muns’ estate grapes—14.1 percent alcohol.

Don’t know if there’s any left, but it is so worth tracking down from the winery. munsvineyard.com.

Lunch and dinner served daily Lu (including (in a special kid’s menu) and featuring a great list of California wines and specialty cocktails.

anta Cruz’s Marci Prolo makes hand-crafted toffee that is simply splendid and will satisfy locals’ sweet tooth.

Prolo’s toffee, which she sells as Goose’s Goodies, is handmade, based on a family recipe. She sells the candy online and also at local retailers like Chefworks, Buttercup Cakes, the Garden Company and others. Prolo agreed to answer all of our toffee-related questions.

You don’t often hear about a toffee family recipe.

MARCI PROLO: It’s something that we made growing up. We would make it for all the holidays. Then I would make it for friends and family over the years, and I started experimenting and adding different flavors and textures to it. I make over 20 different kinds of toffee now. It’s really artistic. It’s chunky.

What I love about it is it’s taking a traditional candy and adding a little flair to it. You might get a little bit more chocolate, you might get nuts.

My newest one is a popcorn, peanuts and milk chocolate with a little rosemary salt on it. There’s a lot of different layers to the toffee. It’s not just one-dimensional.

What’s your most popular flavor?

My two biggest sellers are my white chocolate macadamia nut and my dark chocolate cashew sea salt.

White chocolate macadamia nut is hands down my favorite. It has the richness of the white chocolate, the crunchiness and butteriness of the macadamia nut. They just complement each other very well. I actually like to cook with it as well.

I like to put it in scones.

The Mexican chocolate piqued my interest.

It’s Mexican chocolate, chile and pepitas. I love to pair that one with red wine, and I like to do it in order: have your sip of red wine, and then have a bite of the toffee.

The heat is at the end, not the front.

It’s not hot like habanero. It just complements it really well. It has a little bit of cinnamon and sugar in it. The Mexican toffee is more of a flat toffee. It’s not one of my chunkier ones. So you really get the different layers: the pumpkin seeds with a little bit of the salt with the heat and the chocolate. It’s a great combination. goosesgoodies.com, 320-0524.

involved a rapid press-crush cycle and after-fermentation, to which 20 percent Torrontes was added.

“We call our Cinsault Blanc “tornado” [pronounced torn-AH-do], because of the great flavor crescendo that is present,” Crews says. “This includes stone fruit, flowers, soft lemon, and white peach.”

“The wine provides a glorious accompaniment to a hot summer day,” Crews writes on his label, “and is uplifting when the sun is hidden by clouds or fog.” With its bright flavors and enticing aroma, I find it uplifting no matter what the weather.

eah, the daughter of some friends, was in town from San Diego last month, and my only chance to see her was a quick meeting up in Pelican Ranch’s tasting room in Capitola. I needed to thank her for the many useful tips she gave us on Chile, a country she visits often, particularly regarding the Atacama Desert, where my husband and I went after a few days in Santiago. Leah is also very familiar with Chile’s wine country—which was high on my list to experience, of course—and suggested we visit Casas Del Bosque in the Casablanca Valley. Casas Del Bosque makes incredible wine, including their famous Carménère, and we spent a fruitful afternoon there taking a tour of the expansive winery and doing a private tasting.

Six members of Leah’s family were happily settled in at Pelican Ranch tasting many of the winery’s superbly made wines. I zeroed in on a 2014 Cinsault Blanc ($19)—a delightful “white” wine made from the red grape of the Cinsault varietal. Winemaker Phil Crews also makes an excellent “red” Cinsault.

Grapes were harvested from the Silvaspoons Vineyard in the Alta Mesa area, and creating the wine

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES Saturn, the Dweller on the Threshold (one side) and the Angel of the Presence (the other side) can be interesting Halloween characters. The Dweller (like Saint Peter at the Gates of Heaven) can at times look like a gargoyle, or carved face or figure protecting sacred sites. The Dweller stands at the door (threshold) of the sacred mysteries (Scorpio), the Wisdom Temples, the inner sanctums of churches built by Masons, who, trained in sacred architecture, built spires (prayers, stupas) reaching to the heavens. The stern Dweller turns into the compassionate Angel of the Presence when we have passed all the Scorpio tests. The nine tests of the personality are given in Scorpio to build strength, character and wisdom, which all disciples need.

It’s time to build our Halloween altars filled

with marigolds, chrysanthemums, pumpkins, sugar skeletons, copal (incense), pomegranates, persimmons, pineapple guavas, candy corn, and scary cookies in orange and black (so Saturn)!

The last day of October and the first days of November are also times for forgiveness, reconciliation and rapprochement. Forgiveness liberates us now and after death, when reviewing our life and recognizing our lack of right relations and the consequences of those actions. When we forgive now, we are later less encumbered with grief and sadness concerning our missed opportunities to love. These factors are the inner, real and essential significances of Halloween. Happy Halloween, everyone! Let nothing scary or wicked your way come!

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

For the next several years your task will be radiating right relations and harmony to all kingdoms. All interactions will change when you do so. You will see how you’re transforming yourself and the world. At times you battle your way through changes; at other times you resist the change. Even your perception of enemies changes. Know they are challenges that, through conflict, direct you toward the pathway of peace.

Interesting. You may become stricter in your thinking, defining for yourself who you are and who you’ve become. Whomever you encounter may reflect this, too.

Or they could tell you that you’ve become much too serious. This is Saturn, the Gatekeeper, providing new thoughts and ideas. A long passage of time has come to an end. Old beliefs and separations disappear. You learn what the truth is … of Love. Sleep more.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 28, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21 There’s more work ahead, more responsibilities and a definite focus on health. Beginning with a state of acceptance, tend daily to health, adequate sleep, drinking half your weight in pure water, vitamins, correct nourishment and daily exercise. The work needed is clearing up any obstacles in life. Because soon you will move into a period of creativity. Hindrances, in the environment, relationships, anything incomplete from the past, will not allow creativity to come forth. You can do all of this.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Cancer is about family and nurturing what we love. Venus is asking you what do you nurture, how and why? You seek closeness with loved ones, wanting to teach them new ways of understanding the world. For Cancer professionals, it’s home that calls more and more often. Some will seek their roots, relatives and genealogy to establish a deeper sense of family history. Include research on the town, city, state and nation presently lived in. We are needed wherever we are.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s good to reach out to siblings and family, to walk about daily in your neighborhood seeking new friends, interacting with those living around you, creating relationships that are social, communicative, sharing and encouraging of others. Leo is to radiate the light of the Sun. You are magnetic, attractive, illuminating the hearts of others. Leo is the heart of the Sun, love/wisdom (Ray 2). You are the Sun’s carrier of golden light in the world.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A time of discernment begins and understanding the value of self. Notice all possessions and assess their value. You will realize some possessions have become burdensome.

Begin eliminating what is no longer useful in your life. Seek harmony through the proper placements of objects in the home, office and gardens. For the next months, take special care with your use of money. You may undervalue or overvalue. Call forth discernment.

You are not socially isolated. You’re being given a time of retreat and contemplation when purpose and things religious and spiritual appear. Observe and write down all ways you are different from last year, two, five, 10 years ago. Withdraw consciously into inner contemplation daily. This gives you time for understanding, evaluating, observing the changes, and to serve yourself with compassion and kindness.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You’ll both detach from groups and seek them out. The detachment concerns previous groups that defined your previous self. In the coming year you’re magnetized to groups with a higher level of consciousness and sense of purpose. You seek new communities. A leader of a group you could be. However, you seek to be a more integrated group player helping to synthesize group vision. Right cooperation will be your discipline.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Soon new endeavors and responsibilities will appear. It’s recognized that you’re the best in terms of leadership, achievement, vision, creativity and productivity, all Capricorn gifts. Ponder deeply what is asked of you. Can you function to your fullest capacity and expression, bringing your uniqueness into the world? All of this implies opportunity, less sleep, opposition (others want to be like you) and personal creative rewards. Carry on.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You’re beginning to understand life’s rules, something Aquarius has difficulty with. You’re learning how to be more skillful with others and there’s still much more to learn. Follow all rules, respect all laws. This is most important for the next year. Take long journeys, learn new things, fulfill obligations (or don’t make them) and enter into a philosophy that helps and serves others.

Stay in touch with loved ones.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Pay very careful attention to your money and its use.

Ask others what their values are. Perhaps they are not the same as your values. Be conscious of whom you partner with professionally and personally. Ask yourself what’s most important to you, how to best use resources and where they should be applied. In all relationships, attempt to give more. Each relationship is a gift, a test, a challenge, an opportunity. Make the decision to love more.

Concerns and focus are on your domestic life as well as your creative life. Art, love affairs, tending children, seeking a new sense of self through what you imagine. Saturn will enter your house of relationships. Saturn asks what you have longed for and sought after in relationships, what you want, don’t want, hope for, love, and what gifts you are capable of offering? A commitment or non-commitment of love occurs.
