OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Craft beer is a thing in a lot of places now, I realize. Even so, there’s something special going on in Santa Cruz’s scene; I think everyone who’s discovered it here can agree on that.

The problem with covering it is that it’s growing so fast that by the time you get an interesting snapshot of the scene together, it’s already added new breweries and artisans who are ready to morph it into something new.

Case in point: this week’s cover story. In the time between Aaron Carnes doing his tour of local breweries and his story about it running in this issue, a couple of

LETTERS

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

HIGHWAY 1 AND CLIMATE CHANGE

4

In your recent article “Transportation Measure Gets Unlikely Ally” (GT, 6/1) Paul Elerick dismisses opponents of highway widening by saying they are “single-issue environmentalists who ... only care about global warming,” and that they don’t care about people who can’t get home from work due to traffic.

With all respect to Mr. Elerick, neither of these claims hold water.

For one thing, a main focus of opposition to highway widening is the fact that such projects don’t actually work to provide long-term traffic relief. Caltrans’ own Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Highway 1 project states that it would result in only “a very slight improvement in traffic congestion.” Even this slight improvement may be overly optimistic, as Caltrans’ report ignores the well-documented pattern of “induced traffic,” wherein new lanes invite drivers onto the road who used to stay home during peak traffic times. Highway widening is therefore bad public policy, and a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

On the other hand, climate change is perhaps the greatest threat ever to face humankind. So far we’ve experienced only

brewer posts have changed, and a new brewery has gone online. (The story has been updated to explain those changes.)

Despite the rapid evolution, though, I think Carnes’ article accomplishes its goal of visiting almost all the local breweries (one, Sante Adairius, declined to participate) in search of what makes the local craft brew scene unique.

It’s a useful overview of what brewers here are doing differently to make Santa Cruz stand out.

For a deeper dive into a single brewery, check out Lily Stoicheff’s story on the innovative techniques at Elkhorn Slough Brewing Co. It’s the flipside of the cover story, with a narrow scope and a lot more detail. Between the two of them, I think this issue provides a nice snapshot of the current state of beer in Santa Cruz. Prost!

a 1 degree Celsius increase above historic averages, and already we’re seeing more severe droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events. Even in the best-case scenario, assuming an immediate, rapid transition away from fossil fuel use, we are faced with the likelihood of an additional one-half to 1 degree temperature rise, multiplying the catastrophic effects of climate change.

In Santa Cruz County, driving is our biggest source of emissions, and we should be working to reduce our miles traveled in the county rather than increasing driving capacity. While the RTC plan includes a lot of funding for low-carbon transit, including bicycle projects, these cannot outweigh the harm of expanded driving capacity.

The climate is not going to reward us for trying; we need to actually sharply reduce emissions. To that end, no amount of new “green” infrastructure is going to help unless it serves as a real alternative to driving, leading to a major decrease in miles driven.

That this plan includes added lanes for driving shows that it does not take transit alternatives and emissions reductions seriously, but rather keeps us on course to continue driving as much or more than ever, endangering future generations.

A newly formed group aiming to match eager young people with equally eager employers is having its first event this August. The summit for Monterey Bay Internships (MBI) is from 6 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. MBI, an offshoot of the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership, went live earlier this year, partnering with the Santa Cruz County Business Council, the Community Foundation and local colleges.

Homeless advocate and videographer Brent Adams has spent more than a month traveling around West Coast cities and investigating the conditions of homelessness. Along the way, he’s been shooting a documentary, and he recently launched a Kickstarter to help finish the journey. The project, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind,” has 22 days left to raise the remaining $682 of his $3,000 goal. Bidders can get gifts like entry to a dinner party screening and a DVD copy.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 27 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Free your body. Don’t ruminate and agonize about it.

FREE YOUR BODY! Be brave and forceful. Do it simply and easily. Free your gorgeously imperfect, wildly intelligent body. Allow it to be itself in all of its glory. Tell it you’re ready to learn more of its secrets and adore its mysteries.

Be in awe of its unfathomable power to endlessly carry out the millions of chemical reactions that keep you alive and thriving. How can you not be overwhelmed with gratitude for your hungry, curious, unpredictable body? Be grateful for its magic. Love the blessings it bestows on you.

Celebrate its fierce animal elegance.

For many years, my occupation was “starving artist.” I focused on improving my skills as a writer and musician, even though those activities rarely earned me any money. To ensure my survival, I worked as little as necessary at low-end jobs—scrubbing dishes at restaurants, digging ditches for construction companies, delivering newspapers in the middle of the night, and volunteering for medical experiments. During the long hours spent doing tasks that had little meaning to me, I worked diligently to remain upbeat. One trick that worked well was imagining future scenes when I would be engaged in exciting creative work that paid me a decent wage. It took a while, but eventually those visions materialized in my actual life. I urge you to try this strategy in the coming months, Libra. Harness your mind’s eye in the service of generating the destiny you want to inhabit.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The people of many cultures have imagined the sun god as possessing masculine qualities. But in some traditions, the Mighty Father is incomplete without the revitalizing energies of the Divine Mother. The Maoris, for example, believe that every night the solar deity has to marinate in her nourishing uterine bath. Otherwise he wouldn’t be strong enough to rise in the morning. And how does this apply to you? Well, you currently have resemblances to the weary old sun as it dips below the horizon. I suspect it’s time to recharge your powers through an extended immersion in the deep, dark waters of the primal feminine.

GEMINI May21–June20 An Interesting Opportunity is definitely in your vicinity. It may slink tantalizingly close to you in the coming days, even whisper your name from afar. But I doubt that it will knock on your door. It probably won’t call you seven times on the phone or flash you a big smile or send you an engraved invitation. So you should make yourself alert for the Interesting Opportunity’s unobtrusive behavior. It could be a bit shy or secretive or modest.

Once you notice it, you may have to come on strong— you know, talk to it sweetly or ply it with treats.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

[Editor’s note: The counsel offered in the following oracle was channeled from the Goddess by Rob Brezsny. If you have any problems with it, direct your protests to the Queen Wow, not Brezsny.] It’s time to get more earthy and practical about practicing your high ideals and spiritual values. Translate your loftiest intentions into your most intimate behavior. Ask yourself, “How does Goddess want me to respond when my co-worker pisses me off?”, or “How would Goddess like me to brush my teeth and watch TV and make love?” For extra credit, get a t-shirt that says, “Goddess was my co-pilot, but we crash-landed in the wilderness and I was forced to eat her.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You have every right to celebrate your own personal Independence Day sometime soon. In fact, given the current astrological omens, you’d be justified in embarking on a full-scale emancipation spree in the coming weeks.

It will be prime time to seize more freedom and declare more autonomy and build more self-sufficiency. Here’s an important nuance to the work you have ahead of you: Make sure you escape the tyranny of not just the people and institutions that limit your sovereignty, but also the voices in your own head that tend to hinder your flow.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Of all the forbidden fruits that you fantasize about, which one is your favorite? Among the intriguing places you consider to be outside of your comfort zone, which might inspire you to redefine the meaning of “comfort”? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to reconfigure your relationship with these potential catalysts. And while you’re out on the frontier dreaming of fun experiments, you might also want to flirt with other wild cards and strange attractors. Life is in the mood to tickle you with useful surprises.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You have a special talent for accessing wise innocence.

In some ways you’re virginal, fresh, and raw, and in other ways you’re mature, seasoned, and well-developed. I hope you will regard this not as a confusing paradox but rather as an exotic strength. With your inner child and your inner mentor working in tandem, you could accomplish heroic feats of healing. Their brilliant collaboration could also lead to the mending of an old rift.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

Be alert for white feathers gliding on the wind. Before eating potato chips, examine each one to see if it bears a likeness of Rihanna or the Virgin Mary. Keep an eye out, too, for portents like robots wearing dreadlocked wigs or antique gold buttons lying in the gutter or senior citizens cursing at invisible Martians. The appearance of anomalies like these will be omens that suggest you will soon be the recipient of crazy good fortune. But if you would rather not wait around for chance events to trigger your good luck, simply make it your fierce intention to generate it. Use your optimism-fueled willpower and your flair for creative improvisation. You will have abundant access to these talents in the coming weeks.

“Where is everybody when I need them?” Even if you haven’t actually spoken those words recently, I’m guessing the voices in your head have whispered them.

But from what I can tell, that complaint will soon be irrelevant. It will no longer match reality. Your allies will start offering more help and resources. They may not be perfectly conscientious in figuring out how to be of service, but they’ll be pretty good. Here’s what you can do to encourage optimal results: 1. Purge your low, outmoded expectations. 2. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that people can change. 3. Humbly ask—out loud, not just in the privacy of your imagination—for precisely what you want.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You have just begun your big test. How are you doing so far? According to my analysis, the preliminary signs suggest that you have a good chance of proving the old maxim, “If it doesn’t make you so crazy that you put your clothes on inside-out and try to kiss the sky until you cry, it will help you win one of your biggest arguments with Life.” In fact, I suspect we will ultimately see you undergo at least one miraculous and certifiably melodramatic transformation. A wart on your attitude could dissolve, for example. A luminous visitation may heal one of your blind spots. You might find a satisfactory substitute for kissing the sky.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Millions of Pisceans less fortunate than you won’t read this horoscope. Uninformed about the rocky patch of Yellow Brick Road that lies just ahead, they may blow a gasket or get a flat tire. You, on the other hand, will benefit from my oracular foreshadowing, as well as my inside connections with the Lords of Funky Karma. You will therefore be likely to drive with relaxed caution, keeping your vehicle unmarred in the process. That’s why I’m predicting that although you may not arrive speedily at the next leg of your trip, you will do so safely and in style.

OPINION RIVER SAFETY RE-REVISITED

Re: “River Safety Revisited” (Letters, GT, 7/6): We appreciate your reviewing the Advisory Group minutes/agendas and our “Dangers of Paddling on the San Lorenzo River” report.

We respect your statement about the skilled/experienced paddler, but we consider it prudent to think of the people who have minimal swim skills, no paddling experience, no boat safety knowledge, and who are unfamiliar with the construction hazards in the lower San Lorenzo River.

History shows that constitutional rights are reviewed according to existing conditions.

So the question is: Is it really in the best interest for society and the environment to insist on paddling a short urban river stretch for a few days in the year with so much at risk?

Is your constitutional right to paddle the river more important than human safety, more important than protecting at-risk environments and worth the hefty financial expense?

And yes, we do want the paddling stopped for the safety of the birds, but that does not negate the very real hazards that our article also identified for humans!

Inside Out

M

ost people don’t think much about their guts.

Here’s some food for thought: over the last decade, we’ve found that the nearly 30-foot-long apparatus is teeming with 40,000 species of microbes, which not only fluctuate in response to what we send down the hatch, but also affect our mental and physical health.

The concept of “leaky gut syndrome” emerged about 30 years ago, and for most of those years it was dismissed as medical woo embraced only by alternative medicine circles. But the importance of a healthy gut is becoming more accepted, especially

with a burgeoning supply of scientific evidence.

“Within integrative medicine it’s definitely one of the things we look at and treat as an underlying mechanism behind a lot of diseases,” says Dr. Akil Palanisamy, a Harvardtrained physician who also studied Ayurvedic medicine in India at the Arya Vaidya Ayurvedic Institute.

“There is a lot of research behind it now—I think several thousand research papers have been published. They’ve studied probably about 35 different autoimmune diseases, and every time that they’ve checked, they have found that leaky gut is involved.”

In addition to 100 different kinds

of autoimmune diseases, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, Palanisamy, currently an M.D. at the Institute for Health and Healing in San Francisco, says he believes that all diseases begin in the gut—a fundamental premise of Ayurveda, even thousands of years before the microbiome was discovered.

In leaky gut syndrome, increased gut permeability allows microbes and undigested food to leak into the bloodstream, flaring up the immune system. Doctors who recognize leaky gut syndrome believe this inflamed immune response to be the cause of many chronic diseases, with food allergies and autoimmune diseases leading the way as far

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016

New science may confirm what ancient medicine always knew about leaky gut syndrome BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

as scientific evidence goes. Some doctors—like Dr. Sandy Newmark, who heads the Pediatric Integrative Neurodevelopment Program at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine—report that a significant percentage of children with autism also have leaky gut syndrome.

“What people often don’t understand is that food sensitivity is both the result of a leaky gut, and it also drives it forward or perpetuates it,” says Dr. Dawn Motyka of KSCO’s Ask Dr Dawn.

But while conventional Western medicine recognizes that the intestinal lining is porous—that’s how vital nutrients squeeze out into the bloodstream during digestion— it has yet to recognize leaky gut syndrome, at least not officially.

“The main reason you haven’t heard about it in regular medical circles is no one’s got a drug,” says Motyka.

A drug, of course, would be irrelevant: the cure is in the diet, says Palanisamy.

To heal and strengthen the gut, Palanisamy recommends a “paleovedic” diet, which is akin to a plant-rich version of the paleo diet, customized to fit each patient’s dosha, or body type.

Gut-healing foods include bone broth and fermented foods, as well as spices—including turmeric, ginger, fenugreek, and cinnamon, to name a few—which help with assimilation of nutrients and strengthening the digestive tract, says Palanisamy. And then, of course, there is the golden cure: ghee, or clarified butter, an Ayurvedic remedy that has long been proven to contain butyric acid, which a healthy gut naturally produces.

“Ghee balances ‘Agni,’ digestive fire, especially in the gut for healthy digestion and assimilation, which is key to health and longevity,” says Manish Chandra of Santa Cruz Ayurveda, who hosts a monthly talk series in town. “A well-lubricated intestinal lining of the gut wall supports immunity and protects its integrity, thereby populating healthy microbes. In Ayurveda, we treat the gut to treat the brain, because healthy bacteria in the gut produces mood-regulating neurotransmitters.”

NEWS FEATHER OR NOT As wineries use birds to cut back on rodents, a study looks into their effectiveness

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JAMES KNIGHT

12

Julie Johnson delights in pointing out bluebirds whenever one alights in her certified organic vineyard. To encourage the colorful avians to stick around, she’s put up more than 20 nest boxes, and she instructs her vineyard workers to recognize and spare the nests of other songbirds when they are working in the vines.

“People get excited about seeing these birds do good things,” says Johnson, who owns Tres Sabores Winery in Napa Valley and hopes the bluebirds will snatch up problematic insects.

The good these birds are doing in this and the scores of other organic and sustainable winery operations that have installed nest boxes, however, has until recently remained somewhat anecdotal. Johnson has also placed several nest boxes for owls at Tres Sabores. The nearly ubiquitous owl box mounted high on a pole almost functions like a totem these days; on many a vineyard tour the guide will point to these boxes as evidence of the winery’s environmentally friendly bona fides—be they certified organic, sustainable or merely well-intentioned.

“They’re like superstars of the vineyard,” Johnson says of the owls. “We know that barn owls are among our nighttime predators that are really crucial for vineyards, capable of eating an incredible amount of rodent pests.”

But vineyard operators like Johnson can’t say for sure whether a vineyard is even a particularly good place to site the nest, from the owl’s point of view, or if the whole fad amounts to a new kind of greenwashing.

To answer questions about the efficacy of owl boxes, graduate student researchers from Humboldt State University have begun a first-of-its-kind study, painstakingly mapping the interaction between owls and vineyard habitat in the Napa Valley.

“Finally, we’re starting to get some really great research,” says Johnson, who hopes that the findings will help her to develop a program for “bird-friendly” farming or wine, similar to Fish Friendly Farming, based in Napa, and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center’s bird-friendly coffee program.

In the forested hills somewhere between Loma Prieta and Los Gatos, Jerold O’Brien sees wild owls flying around his >16 Silver Mountain Vineyards.

SENDER’S GAME Government transparency advocates like Peter Scheer say governments need to create

policies for work and personal email.

Mixed Messages

While Clinton takes flak for her server, government email rules are unclear even here in Santa Cruz BY JACOB PIERCE

A

few years ago, City Councilmember Don Lane remembers Robert Norse, a perennial critic of city officials, throwing a pointed question his way: “Do you ever use your private email to talk about City Council issues?”

“I don’t do it very much, and I try to steer away from it, but I wouldn’t say, ‘No, I never have done it,’” recalls Lane, one of a handful of city councilmembers who have used private email addresses in some official capacity,

of how the question was a wakeup call. “From that moment on, it raised my consciousness.”

Every now and then, someone will email Lane at his personal Cruzio email address about a city issue.

And should someone make a public records request on a given topic, he says he will include messages about city-related business from his personal email account if there are any. But just to be safe, he also makes a point of carbon copying his city email address when he replies to such emails.

That’s exactly how officials

everywhere should respond, says government transparency expert Peter Scheer—but they often don’t.

Scheer is the director of the First Amendment Coalition, which is based in San Rafael. He says all local governments should have a policy stating that if someone is going to use a non-government email, like a Gmail account, they need to either cc: their city address or forward their messages to an official account, preserving them for public records.

“It’s possible to have it both ways.

email. But you have to have a policy that if you use your private email, you have to send your copy to the city’s server,” he says.

In 2016, our options for communicating with one another via technology continue to expand.

And when it comes to the regulations that ensure transparency, most governments across the country are still, at least in some ways, like the Wild, Wild West.

The city of Auburn has a policy like the one Scheer calls for, but such policies don’t appear to be very common. In Santa Cruz County, no local government has a protocol regarding emails, personal or otherwise.

The topic of emails and government is one that readers will, of course, be familiar with because of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

Transparency and security concerns spurred an FBI investigation, resulting in scathing criticism from both the FBI and the State Department—a specter that continues to hang over the presidential candidate during the Democratic National Convention this week.

But it’s not just a Clinton issue— arm-wrestling matches over the “private” emails of government officials have been playing out all over the country, and California is no exception. A lawsuit fighting for the

non-city emails of former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed and other officials there about a city project has been sent to the California Supreme Court after a lower appeals court demanded that Reed and company turn them over. And earlier this month, a court order embattled Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to turn over more than 50 personal emails on city matters to the Sacramento News and Review.

Scheer and others have additionally called for the email records of the members of the California Coastal Commission. Activists are seeking a window into the commission’s backdoor discussions that led to the firing of esteemed director Charles Lester—and the commissioners, apparently, do not have official Coastal Commission email addresses.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington D.C. ruled that government officials may not use private email accounts to dodge Freedom of Information Act requests.

Essentially, the case, which overturns a lower court’s ruling, states that as long as the employee is corresponding about government business, they are doing so as a government agent.

Tony Condotti, the city attorney for both Santa Cruz and Capitola, says it’s a “best practice” for city officials to keep city business on their city email. “In so doing, they don’t create the problem of intermingling their personal email communications with those that relate to city business. Also,

it keeps clear that the communications are a public record,” Condotti says.

A few Santa Cruz city councilmembers have been known to use non-government emails over the years—something that could create confusion when it comes to public records requests.

In 2012, activist Steve Schnaar, a Bike Church mechanic, looked into why the city had ended a popular bike distribution at the Bike Church, and began making public records requests. The city’s records coordinator told him at first that then-Vice Mayor Hilary Bryant had more records, but she later followed up with Schnaar that “those emails were under a personal email account and not relevant to any city business.”

Schnaar felt that city officials were hiding something. “What are the protocols for public employees using private email addresses?” he asked me at the time, suggesting I look into it.

Bryant, who is no longer on the council, did not return messages seeking comment for this story, but the distribution ended up going to the Bike Dojo after she put in a good word for them, which critics said was inappropriate because of her connections with the owners. (The city ultimately took the distribution away from the Dojo as well, setting up its own distribution because the business was not a nonprofit, like the Bike Church, and was therefore ineligible for the program.) >18

NEWS BRIEFS VOTE CHECK A thunder and lightning storm brewed over Philadelphia around midday on Monday, July 25, and inside the Democratic National Convention (DNC), the weather forecast also looks intense. That storm started at California’s delegation breakfast inside the downtown Marriott hotel over eggs, oatmeal, coffee and juice. Alex Padilla, the California Secretary of State who’s in charge of voting, took to the

podium in front of the state’s Clinton-Sanders delegates, and the chanting began: “Count our votes, count our votes!”

Sanders delegates rose to their feet during the meeting and broke into chants of “Bernie, Bernie.”

I sat between two Santa Cruz Sanders delegates, Shawn OrgelOlson, who ran Sanders’ Santa Cruz campaign, and former County Supervisor Gary Patton.

Both looked stunned, at first, before joining in the chanting.

“What burns the butts of these Bernie people is that [the DNC leaders] want to pretend Clinton is the nominee, but it’s not official,” Patton shouted over the chanting, noting that the nominating process was scheduled to be finished the following day.

“We are still his delegates and we’re glad to be out here supporting him,” OrgelOlson added.

This is my third DNC, and I’ve never seen this kind of raw,

angry energy. It poured out onto the street, where more than 5,000 protesters came ready for a battle. At the Florida delegation earlier that morning, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida), the recently disgraced DNC chair, got booed off the stage.

Toward the end of California’s two-hour breakfast, Clinton supporters finally caught on and chanted, “Hill-a-ry, Hill-a-ry.” But it was too late. The “Bernie” voices ruled the day. CHRIS KROHN

HUNT FORCE Humboldt State University researcher Carrie Wendt is studying the impact of owls on vineyard rodents.

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

FEATHER OR NOT <12

“I see a number of them around. It seems like there are more of them in summertime than in the wintertime. I would assume they’re there because they’re eating something,” says O’Brien, who also has an owl box on his property, although he isn’t sure how often it gets used.

The organic winery is home to swarms of gophers, too, which love to chomp on grapevine roots and can kill a young plant—anything younger than eight years—O’Brien explains.

“We have a lot [of gophers], because we go out trapping every six or eight weeks.

We’ll trap for three or four days. In three or four days, we might catch 15 or 20 gophers,” says O’Brien, whose 9-year-old dog Spencer assists in finishing off the pesky rodents.

RESEARCH TAKES FLIGHT Under the shade of the oaks at Tres Sabores last summer, Carrie Wendt is on break explaining the owl study research she began in the winter of 2015. A graduate student pursuing a master’s

degree in natural resources and wildlife at Humboldt State University, Wendt studies the ecological services that wildlife can provide in agriculture. Although owl boxes have been used in vineyards for several decades, there is little to no scientific literature about them. Many of the oft-cited statistics on owls come from studies done in England and elsewhere.

To start, Wendt cold-called hundreds of vineyard managers up and down Napa Valley for permission to monitor their owl boxes. With a list of nearly 300 boxes in hand, she visited them all three times at 10-day intervals—making for long drives around Northern California.

Nest boxes fail for a variety of reasons, says Wendt: opportunistic mammals may climb into them, or red-tailed hawks and great horned owls may hunt the parent owls while they fly to and from the box.

Widely used poison bait for rodent control is also a hazard, as owls may be poisoned when consuming stricken rodents. But sometimes it’s a lack of available prey that makes owls abandon their nest.

From Tres Sabores, I follow the student’s

bumper-stickered truck across the valley to Saint Helena Winery, off the Silverado Trail, on the search for a surviving chick. An owl box is located in the middle of a vineyard, and was last seen containing one healthy, surviving chick.

As Wendt maneuvers a swaying camera pole into the box, a chick’s head appears out of the darkness.

Still a fuzzball of downy feathers, he’s almost grown-up, and looking downright surly as he sways and bobs in front of the camera. The dark side of his success is that, most likely, he consumed his siblings—not uncommon in the unsentimental world of the barn owl.

Following up on Wendt’s work, Humboldt State grad student Xeronimo Castaneda has been tagging adult owls with GPS transmitters.

The work must be done within a demanding time frame: Castaneda has to find owls while they’re in the nest box with chicks 14 to 21 weeks old. Afterward, the adults roost elsewhere while continuing to feed the increasingly large chicks.

The boxes have hinged doors to facilitate cleaning. But it’s not for amateur ornithologists. The team had to apply to

two agencies, the Bird Banding Laboratory, a division of the United States Geological Survey, and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, to obtain permission to capture and tag owls. Researchers will then be able to track the owls and their hunting habits using GPS. Castaneda suggests that while further study needs to be done, it may be true that even if owls aren’t actively hunting within the vineyard, their very presence affects the behavior of rodents, deterring them from eating vintners’ precious grapevines.

Castaneda mentions a small experiment conducted by an undergraduate that has yielded some interesting preliminary results.

The student created a set of sandboxes, burying 100 sunflower seeds—rodent food— in each, and placed some in areas known to be populated with owls.

“It’s interesting that across the board,” says Castaneda, “those little bait stations where there were no owls—all the seeds were gone. But where there were owls, a portion of those were still left.”

In past years, City Councilmember David Terrazas has used his private email address for city business, although he now asks people to reach him on his city address. City Councilmember Pamela Comstock says she has three email addresses, one for her personal use, one for her day job and a third for her council position.

She says when she checks her email remotely, her phone will sometimes reply to the wrong address, and she finds herself constantly forwarding emails to her city email or cc:ing her correct address.

Councilmember Micah Posner uses a non-city email address to send out newsletters and updates, although he was on vacation and unavailable for comment as of deadline. (Ironically, his personal email sent back an autoreply about his schedule, but his city one did not.)

In Scotts Valley, the mayor and all of the city councilmembers use their own personal email addresses, which are posted on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Tracy Ferrara, the Scotts Valley city clerk, says their emails are, nonetheless, available when someone files a public records request.

Lane notes that even a request for someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city email in Santa Cruz requires a certain degree of trust in public officials. When someone makes a request for his messages, he still has to go through his archives himself, copying and pasting messages one by one.

Scheer says that, in general, if someone uses their private email and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with a public records request, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often easier for them to hide their messages. It creates extra steps for community members to access them, and they would never be able to do so without filing a lawsuit.

As forms of communicating become more advanced, it becomes easier for government officials to avoid public oversight, he adds.

Scheer, who has written about this topic for nearly a decade, says that he has never heard of anyone filing suit over Facebook messages, for instance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issue really hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed that much,â&#x20AC;? says Scheer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;although certainly technologies do complicate it.â&#x20AC;?

BREWS SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL OF SANTA CRUZ’S SUDS ON A TOUR OF THE LOCAL CRAFT BEER SCENE

BY AARON CARNES

I

t’s official. Santa Cruz has gone beer crazy.

Not long ago, there was just a small handful of brewers in the county. Now there are more than a dozen, with more undoubtedly on the way.

When I realized Santa Cruz’s brewery scene was blowing up, I knew the only way I could do the scene justice as a journalist was to go into the trenches myself and visit every single brewery—in a single weekend. Well, it made sense in my head.

So I got on the phone and called my buddy John MacAvoy and explained this very important mission. I knew John would bring the much-needed high-alcoholtolerance perspective.

Our goal was to find the Santa Cruz-ness within each brewery.

In other words, we looked for the strangest and most unique beers in the county. I’d spoken to enough brewers already to know that they’ve been brewing up some pretty unusual flavors (Bacon Brown Ale, anyone?). With the

DAY 1 9:30 a.m. I don’t normally start drinking this early, but I am a professional, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the public good. It’s off to Corralitos Brewing Co. first. A few weeks earlier, co-owner Luke Taylor told me that they grow hops on their property, which they use in their My

Girl Rye Pale Ale, which he considers their most unique beer. I’m anxious to try it.

10 a.m. Corralitos Brewing Co. is located on the outskirts of Corralitos, a gorgeous piece of property with a phenomenal view.

The brewery interior is decorated entirely with wood. This is what all breweries should look like. Taylor greets me in the warehouse, which is also filled with lumber from his parents’ business. I briefly meet his partner Mike Smith, but he is busy

doing something. Taylor, like most other men in their 30s, has a bushy beard. He’s friendly and eager to tell me about the brewery, including his plans to open-ferment some beers.

There’s what looks like a cow trough in a room next to the brewery. That’s where the open fermentation magic happens.

10:45 a.m. Taylor pours us several beers. My Girl is a phenomenal drink—not strange per se, but distinctive, and it has a nice backstory. How many brewers can

claim to grow their own hops? It tastes like a clean pale ale, but smoother and fresher. He also pours us Plan A, a solid sour with just the right amount of tart, and a hint of Chardonnay. John is drinking roughly twice as much as I do, and seems unfazed. Taylor tells us about a beer he wants to can called the Steady Ed, a tribute to Ed Headrick, inventor of Disc Golf. It’ll be a lowalcohol, easy-sipping red ale. You know, the kind of beer you’d want to pound while doing a few rounds on the disc golf course.

12 p.m. We pull up to the Uncommon Brewers warehouse, where head brewer Alec Stefansky is waiting for us with a row of Uncommon beer cans lined up on a stack of pallets, along with three cups. On the way, I picked up Good Times news editor Jake Pierce and his pal Nick. Stefansky grabs two more glasses and starts cracking open cans. We drink seven in total, and they are strong! Three that stuck out were the Japonica Pils (Pilsner, ginger, wasabi), the Flamenco Roja (Flanders red ale, pomegranate, raspberries—aged in Pinot and Syrah barrels), and the Baltic Porter (porter, licorice, star anise). So much flavor. In no time we are buzzing hard, and John starts interviewing Stefansky. Hey, that’s my job!

Escape the kids, cats and kitchen table.

12:45 p.m. Most people may know Uncommon Brewers for their outlandish concoctions, like the previously mentioned Bacon Brown Ale, but really, their beers are all

balanced quite well. Stefansky, a lively character in his early 40s, tells us about his early rebel years of college home-brewing, and time spent working in restaurants. Funny, his beers seem exactly how a crazy mad chef would approach brewing.

“I’m looking for a way for the spices to contribute, not dominate,” Stefansky says. We all nod along.

1 p.m. Stefansky gives us a sneak peek of his soon-to-be tap room over on 415 River St., and it is gigantic at 2,400 square feet. The plan is to open later in the year, with food provided by El Salchichero.

(Sausage sandwiches! Pho! Ramen!) Right now, all he has is a big open room with giant wooden tables everywhere. It should be a happening spot when it opens. John and Stefansky are really hitting it off. John is already planning to bring his girlfriend down on opening night, whenever that is. I swear, John makes instant friends with everyone.

Not the Breakwater Most people may know Uncommon Brewers for their outlandish concoctions like Bacon Brown Ale, but really, their beers are all balanced quite well.

Only the Best SCUBA on the Planet and now for 1/2 off!!!

Unlike other dive shops that believe you deserve the muck of the Breakwater diving, we wish to give you the splendor of Carmel Bay. Kayak Diving- a unique approach to safely delivering the "Best of the Bay".

1:30 p.m. Santa Cruz Ale Works brewmaster Marc Rosenblum explains they don’t do weird, just dependable and consistent. It’s understandable considering that they began by bottling their product nearly a decade ago, and only opened a tasting room a few years ago. I had a sandwich too—the Holy Smokes.

Delicious!

3 p.m. It’s raging at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing. This is one of the oldest breweries in town, open for about 11 years. Inside, the décor is a little artsy—glasses hanging upside down from the ceiling, weird art on the wall. Owner Emily Thomas isn’t there yet. She sends her partner Chad Brill to meet us. We start with a Lavender IPA. I don’t normally like flowers in my drinks, but this one wins me over. Next, he pours us the Madame Grey, which is even better.

It’s a milk stout with lactose, Earl Grey tea and honey. What a tasty, unusual beer! This would have been perfect for my 10 a.m. drink.

4:30 p.m. Seabright Brewery is the oldest-standing brewery in town.

They opened back in 1988, when people thought Sierra Nevada was a wacky, experimental beer. It has an “established” feel to it. Head brewer Jason Chavez, is an absolute delight, a cross between an old hippie and a goofy surfer dude. The three of us sit in a booth. He starts ordering us drinks, and telling us his entire brewing history. [Editor’s Note: Jason Chavez has since left Seabright Brewery, and the head brewer there is now Cat Wiest.]

5 p.m. A common theme with these brewers is that they started out home-brewing. Chavez has them all beat. He started back in 1985, while still in high school. His mother is German, he explains.

Yet, Chavez strikes me as a guy without a roadmap. He’s just tossing ingredients in the pot and seeing what works. When it does, he’s as surprised as anyone. Chavez brews a lot of standard traditional beers for the regulars, but also likes to experiment. My first drink is a prime example: A Cask Ale stout, brewed with chocolate and raspberries. Meanwhile John is drinking the much-less adventurous Sunday Morning Sidewalk, a “hangover beer,” and a clever reference to the brilliant Kris Kristofferson song.

5:30 p.m. We drink I don’t-knowhow-many beers, chatting with Chavez. For brave drinkers, I recommend walking in and just ordering whatever Chavez has

3:35 p.m. Thomas arrives and gives me the tour, while John hangs back and chats with Brill. She tells me that anyone on staff is free to contribute a recipe idea, and it’ll end up in the tasting room. “If we can think of it and brew it, we can definitely sell it,” she says.

Employee Pepe Palacios created their Lavender IPA, as well as a whole series of floral IPAs (hibiscus, jasmine, lavender). One of their most intriguing recipes is the horchata pale ale, made by head brewer Tommy Mills. The beer is a combination of cream ale, rice syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla.

6 p.m. I learn a new term today: “session beer.” It’s where you take a craft beer style, like IPA, and give it Budweiser-level alcohol. Discretion Brewing Chief Beer Ambassador Dustin Vereker talks about session beers at length. He’s a young, wholesome-looking whippersnapper.

Their goal, he says, is very different from, say, a dive bar’s. “We don’t want people to get totally trashed.

We’re a really family-friendly establishment,” he says. They even have toys and games for kids to play with.

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

6:15 p.m. Vereker pours us several drinks, including a session Englishstyle mild ale (Song in Your Heart), an Irish-style red ale (Dublin Sunburn), a rye IPA (Uncle Dave’s), and my personal favorite, the Shimmer Pils, a light, refreshing, summer-style German pilsner.

There’s nothing strange about Discretion’s beers, but they nail the standard flavors spectacularly. In just three years, they’ve expanded from a 500-barrel-a-year operation to nearly 3,300 barrels a year. The place is busy, and it’s no mystery why.

7 p.m. John and I sit down and enjoy a plate of pork sliders and chicken and waffles, which are insanely delicious. Vereker comes over and hands us three large bottles of Discretion beer.

9 p.m. We’ve been in New Bohemia Brewing Company for a half hour, and it suddenly strikes me that John and I are next-level, totallyout-of-our-minds drunk when I realize we are entertaining ourselves by playing a lively game of “flick the rubber band on the wall so the other person can catch it” and then screaming our asses off when one of us does (or doesn’t). At one point, John dances backward toward the

exit door, then proceeds to dance around the building and back inside the front door.

9:15 p.m. New Bohemia has a wonderful atmosphere with two floors. Downstairs is a bar/stage area. Co-founder Dan Satterthwaite is unable to meet us because his child is sick, so he texts me three beers to check out. There’s the Velvet Revolution, a malty pilsner that tasted like a red ale, the Double Agent, a very hoppy, flowery double IPA, and my personal favorite, and the weirdest of the bunch, the Double Duchess, a coffee-infused chocolate porter. Yum! John and I leave without getting kicked out.

10 p.m. I can’t recall much at this point. Looking at the photos, I see that we got tortas at Los Pericos, and later I held a large pet snake! I vaguely recall lying down on Pierce’s couch, while one of his roommates watched Seven Samurai. Everything else is a blur.

DAY 2 10 a.m. The fine folks at Elkhorn Slough Brewing Co., whose tasting room is open as of last weekend, tell us to come to their home in Watsonville for brunch. Michael Enos and Julie Rienhardt are the nicest people, and their egg casserole (using eggs from their chickens) is simply wonderful. As for the beer, they have something truly unique.

(See this week’s dining column on page 50.)

10:40 a.m. The first glass Rienhardt and Enos pour is called “Mothership,” and everyone should try it. The couple discovered that they had some incredible live yeast right on the apple tree on their property, which they use in the fermenting process of their “wild ale.” The Mothership is made from 100-percent live yeast. It is one of the oddest flavors I’ve ever tasted in a beer. It has the crispness of cider, but without the sweetness. The rest of the beers they serve us have some percentage of this yeast, but with

other ingredients. Rienhardt and Enos are a hilarious, eccentric boomer-aged couple. John and I love talking with them. At one point, Enos explains how yeast is really aliens that are taking over the planet, and Julie says that he “agreed to not talk about aliens.”

1 p.m. Scotts Valley’s Steel Bonnet Brewing Company owner Donald Cramb is a soft-spoken man in his 50s. He and his wife are from Scotland, and their accents are subtle. His concept for the brewery is to highlight beers from the British Isles and the American West Coast.

Cramb pours us drink after drink and gives an explanation of their heritage. Everything fits within the concept, expect for their Belgian ale, which Cramb says, “goes against everything I stand for.” He put it on the menu for his son.

1:20 p.m. We try English IPAs, American IPAs, pale ales, red ales. I lose track at some point. The most interesting drink of the afternoon is Reiver Red Peat smoked red ale. It

has a distinct smoky bite to it, very similar to Laphroaig Scotch Whisky.

Both are made with peat-smoked grains. It’s borderline medicinal, but balanced, and that smoky aftertaste is quite pleasant. Before we leave, we check out Cramb’s brewing equipment. His wife is busy brewing.

There are large pots of wet grains on the ground. The aroma is intoxicating.

third owner, but he’s not here today.

East Cliff Brewery is unlike any other brewery in the area. It’s entirely inspired by traditional English pubs.

The beer is made in casks (which is 10-15 degrees warmer) and served from beer engines, which produces a creamier texture. These guys are really committed to recreating the English pub experience—they even serve their beer in English pints (19.2 U.S. ounces) for authenticity. A good starter beer is the E.O.B., a session standard bitter. It’s a very simple, palatable traditional English ale, and has a hint of honey flavor to it.

2:20 p.m. Humble Sea Brewing Company isn’t in Ben Lomond’s downtown, but on some property on the outskirts of town. I feel like we’re staring at a mad scientist’s lab.

This garage, in the country, right next to a gushing river, is packed with brewery equipment, and tubes going every which way. Humble Sea is in its early stages. They sell their beers to a few restaurants in town.

Later this year they will be opening their own tasting room and a production brewery on Swift Street, and presumably taking over the world. For now, it’s just humble.

4:05 p.m. I’m immediately struck by the gallery-like ambience of East Cliff Brewing Company. The walls are filled with artwork. Owners James Hrica and Jon Moriconi immediately serve us small-glass flights of beer in muffin tins. Moriconi is wearing a Slow Gherkin shirt, which I immediately point out. There’s a

5:30 p.m. It seems appropriate that John and I finish our beer tour at Shanty Shack Brewing, the brainchild of two young skaterlooking guys in their late 20s and early 30s, Nathan Van Zandt and Brandon Padilla, and a recent addition to the local brewery scene. Van Zandt and Padilla have a particular fondness for sours, but hope to master every popular flavor. They don’t have any flagship beers quite yet, but are experienced homebrewers, and even ran a beer delivery operation years earlier for friends and family. All their beers are solid, but I am most interested in a beer they served at Twisted Tasting. They call it Lamb’s Wool.

It’s a hot beer, a strong Scottish Ale, with sugar, butter and roasted apples. “It’s like a Christmas drink,” Padilla explains. Man, I hope they bring that one back.

6:30 p.m. John and I linger at Shanty Shack longer than necessary. Van Zandt and Padilla give us a tour.

They have big plans, and are still tweaking their recipes and trying to find their identity. Their excitement is intoxicating, and epitomizes the enthusiasm and outside-of-the-box thinking that defines the entire Santa Cruz brewery scene.

2:40 p.m. Brewer Nick Pavlina gives us the tour and pours us some beers.

He opens with Playa Grande, which is a jalapeño IPL. I don’t expect to like it, but it’s surprisingly refreshing, and only mildly spicy. He also pours us a Maritime Medicine (coriander, lemongrass, pilsner), and a barrelaged Playa Grande, aged in tequila barrels, with intense vanilla and oak flavors. Pavlina admits that the recipe needs toning down a bit. He pours us some Crusty Sea Dog, an absolutely delicious cherry sour beer, and tells us that he wants to try a version of Playa Grande that has mango in it, like mango salsa. “I don’t want to go over the top with the weirdness.

I want to avoid the novelty of it and make drinkable beers,” Pavlina explains. Both John and I feel excited to see what will become of Humble Sea in the coming year.

4:45 p.m. Hrica gives John and me a full tour of their cask ale storage unit, and even shows us how to change a cask, which is fascinating.

He tops off the demonstration by showing us how to pump some beer out of a beer engine. What an educational stop!

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

Elkhorn Slough Brewing Beer can be found in almost every refrigerator in the world, but it’s rarely associated with a specific place. But owners and husband and wife team Michael Enos and Julie Rienhardt of the newly-minted Elkhorn Slough Brewing insist their brewery couldn’t exist anywhere else but Watsonville.

Elkhorn Slough’s brews begin with a seemingly immaculate conception. Apples from their property are pressed and left in the open, inviting the naturally occurring yeasts in the fruit and air to cultivate on the rich apple sugars. Once the slurry is bubbling with life, it’s pitched into the wort, or unfermented beer. If this sounds like an

And they don’t stop with yeast.

“We just picked fifteen pounds of olallieberries off our property and dumped them into a barrel last weekend. We’ll be using the prickly pears that are just starting to ripen to put into a tequila barrel,” says Rienhardt excitedly.

“Every batch comes out a little different,” says Enos. Referring to the

barnyard-y aromas and flavors that often occur using these traditional methods, he says, “Our motto is, Let the funk be with you!”

The couple has been homebrewing in Watsonville since the early 90s, and became increasingly dedicated to their hobby twelve years ago.

Encouraged by friends and accoladed by homebrewing competitions, they reached out to Santa Cruz Community Credit Union to make their dream of opening a brewery in their beloved home a reality.

“As a small family- and community-oriented business, the loan we got from the credit union allowed us to get started,” says Rienhardt.

“It wasn’t a loan to get bigger–it was a loan to start, which is a lot riskier, but they listened to our story and decided to go forward with us. They really made it possible.” “[Santa Cruz Community Credit Union] took a lot of faith in us as a start up,” adds Enos. “We wouldn’t have been able to get this place up and running without them.”

The couple focuses on producing “wild beer” in the farmhouse style by incorporating natural yeasts and ingredients from the very land they brew on into their beers and fermenting them aerobically in wine and liquor barrels. The results are beautifully complex, funky, often tart saisons that have already amassed a passionate local following.

unusual way to brew, it’s because it is—this technique harkens back to the very, very early days of brewing thousands of years ago, when the cause of fermentation was unknown and believed to be divine.

But this collaboration between the couple and their land produces irresistibly flavorful beers that are truly unique. “That’s why we have a place name for our brewery. We feel there’s amazing nature all around us, and there’s great flavors in nature,” explains Rienhardt.

“We’re using ingredients that are available here, brewing at ambient temperatures and really having some fun. Our beer reflects what we think is the taste and flavor of this area.”

program. Many a career has thus been launched.

This year Adams was commissioned to create a tribute and musical farewell to the outgoing artistic director. And the ridiculously busy composer just happened to have an idea-inprogress up his sleeve. On Aug. 6—the second evening of this year’s Festival—audiences will be treated to an orchestral piece excerpted from a larger work, an opera about the California gold rush Adams is in the throes of creating with his frequent colleague Peter Sellars (Doctor Atomic).

The new work represents a moment in Adams’ larger work in progress called The Girls of the Golden West, partly inspired by Puccini’s opera Girl of the Golden West (La fanciulla del West).

“Peter Sellars wanted to do an update of that opera,” Adams says.

“He had been asked to do the Puccini opera thinking that the libretto was very dated. I read the libretto for the Puccini and found out that the librettist [Guelfo Civinini, working from a play by American David Belasco] actually did spend time in California.” The Puccini opera premiered in New York in 1910.

“But we’re looking at the story with modern eyes,” Adams promises.

As he thought about what he might create in honor of Marin Alsop, Adams found something close at home. “There is an orchestral portion—a dance for Lola Montez— within the opera I am working on,” he says. “The idea was sparked by a San Francisco newspaper from the 1880s, where we found a histrionic description of her rather fabulous spider dance.”

Adams reminded me that Montez was a celebrated and controversial fixture of courts, saloons, and theaters the world over in the mid19th century. “She was the mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who made her a countess,” he says. The Irish-born Montez also had an affair with Franz Liszt (among others) before she fled Europe for the wild frontier of the California gold rush.

Here she developed her daring spider dance which she flaunted in the gold fields of Australia as well.

Montez was a girl of two golden Wests, as it turns out.

Adams, who confessed he hadn’t yet written the music for Montez’ dance, has used the occasion of the Alsop commission to “jump ahead in the opera and write this section. It’s a stand-alone piece for Marin and I expect she will perform it elsewhere in the future.”

Montez was only one of the “girls of the golden west” Adams and Sellars describe in the upcoming opera. Few women ventured into the 1850s gold fields, but Adams found two extraordinary stories.

“I have a little cabin in the high Sierras near Downeyville, and there was a famous event that happened there,” Adams says. “A young Mexican woman was working in a bar and was harassed by a miner. She stabbed him to death.

Apparently there was a quick trial and within 24 hours the town had hanged her. We wove a lot of stories around her,” he reveals.

“And the other woman was Louise Smith Clappe, who wrote for a local newspaper under the name Dame Shirley. She spent 18 months in crude mining camps, and she wrote letters, called the Shirley letters, that I consider an outstanding example of 19th-century American literature,” he says. Clappe and her physician husband had come to the West for the mountain climate, and the writer mined her personal experience of the gritty ambience of the rough mining camps during the 1850s height of gold fever. “We’ve created scenes around those letters,” Adams adds, tantalizingly.

“The opera will premiere in 2017, the year of my 70th birthday,” he says. “San Francisco Opera seemed the right place to premiere it, given the history behind the opera.” Will there be more operas from the composer of Einstein on the Beach and The Death of Klinghoffer? “More opera?” Adams laughs. “I’ve been working on this opera daily for almost two years, and I’ve just begun orchestrating the second act.

It’s a lot of work.”

A sneak preview of Adams’ next opera can be heard on Aug. 6, as the composer’s gift to outgoing conductor Alsop.

ack in 2012, the Cabrillo Stage summer musical series mounted one of its most successful productions, Anything Goes. It was a frothy 1930s period piece built around vintage Cole Porter songs, and featuring what may be the single most electrifying production number in CS history—a massive syncopated tap extravaganza to the title tune, in which everyone but the orchestra was onstage dancing.

That show was directed and choreographed by Kikau Alvaro, making his CS debut. And now Alvaro is back in the same capacity for the second production of the company’s

current season, Fiddler on the Roof.

True, there are few opportunities for ensemble tap dancing in this enduring tale about the denizens of a poor Jewish shtetl in a remote area of Russia toward the end of Tsarist rule.

But Alvaro still delivers a wonderful production of this classic musical, vividly imagined in the design and dance departments, and blessed by a knockout centerpiece performance by Adam Campbell in the central role of Tevye, the dairyman.

Originally produced on Broadway in 1964, the Joseph Stein-Jerry BockSheldon Harnick musical was based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem.

The original production was directed

and choreographed by the great dance maestro Jerome Robbins (whose choreography Alvaro reproduces here, according to the credits). And while the dancing is terrific (especially ensemble pieces like Jewish and Russian men dancing in a bar during the song, “L’chaim!,” or the villagers celebrating a wedding), this is not a show that depends on dancing; rather, it’s a moving tale of life, love, family, and, of course, tradition, in an era of changing values.

Tevye is the engine that makes this show go. Campbell’s great singing voice can be big and expressive, or soft and sweet, and his wry demeanor is irresistible, whether conversing

with God, or in his robust rendition of Tevye’s signature song, “If I Were a Rich Man.” Teyve and his wife Golde (Marianne Thompson, another fine singer) have five daughters to see settled, with the help of village matchmaker Yente (Alice Hughes).

A staunch upholder of “Tradition” (as laid out in the rousing opening number), Tevye’s worldview is challenged as, one by one, his three eldest daughters choose their own husbands for love, rather than submitting to arranged matches.

Highlights of this production include the “Dream,” in which Tevye persuades Golde to agree to the wedding of Tzeitel (a spirited Brenna Sammon) and Motel (engaging Ryan Fish) by claiming her Grandmother Tzeitel (a very funny Anya Ismail), visited him from beyond the grave to endorse it—a scene enacted onstage by the entire company. The candlelit “Sabbath Prayer,” sung onstage and in the aisles, is also lovely. And while most of the showstopper numbers are in the first act, Act 2 includes the moving, heartfelt duet, “Do You Love Me?” by Tevye and Golde.

Scenic Designer Skip Epperson’s sets are as evocative as they are clever, a row of simple house exteriors that move around and revolve to disclose various interiors.

(The crossed-log roofline of the central one makes a splendid perch for the eponymous Fiddler, nicely danced by Conrad Useldinger.) Most impressive is the painted backdrop in which the sun sets and the moon rises in a swirly Chagall-like skyscape, while lights twinkle on and off in distant mountain villages.

(Lighting design is by the everstalwart Kyle Grant.)

Maria Crush’s costumes (vests, tasseled prayer shawls, and bloused Russian outfits for the men; peasant skirts and kerchiefs for the women) beautifully convey a sense of period while giving everyone room to move and dance. In terms of production and performance, this Fiddler is rich indeed.

Food Tracks For Shawn Wasabi, electronic music is a sonic smorgasbord BY AARON CARNES

M

‘

ac and Cheese.”

“Pizza Rolls.” “Marble Soda.” No, this isn’t the menu for a new downtown café; they’re titles of songs by electronic artist Shawn Wasabi.

So is he obsessed with food or what? Well, yeah—but that’s not why he’s named so many of his songs after it. The real reason is actually a window into his approach to the electronic genre, which he thinks of more as mashups than standard electronic music.

“I like to see the parallels between modern fusion food and musical mashups. It’s kind of funny,” Wasabi explains. “Mac and cheese is a mashup of American cheese and Italian pasta. Pizza rolls are a mashup of pizza and egg rolls. A lot of my stuff is mashups of other material. I take a lot of different styles and make them work together.”

And he doesn’t just mean he draws from a lot of influences—he literally rams different styles together into a single song. “Pizza Rolls,” for instance, is a mashup of metal riffs

and EDM beats. “Mac and Cheese” is a mixture of modern house music and retro video game noises.

Originally from Salinas but now living in L.A., Wasabi has been making music for a little more than three years. His early songs were comprised mostly of samples, which he’d bring to life using a triggering board and other electronic equipment, and it was posting videos of them on YouTube that got him a following. He records himself playing his songs live in single takes, usually with close-up shots of his

fingers on the equipment. His videos have garnered millions of views, with “Marble Soda” approaching 10 million. Fans are dazzled by his nimble fingers; one YouTuber commented: “I have no idea what you’re doing, but it’s amazing!”

Another wrote “You are insane. This is insane. What is this?”

“I’ve gotten used to the fact that what I do isn’t as easy as playing a guitar,” says Wasabi. “It takes me hours upon hours to get the perfect take where I play everything correctly and not mess up bad.”

To the delight of his fans, Wasabi plays some of his songs live, just like in his videos. His concerts are a mixture of live tracks and a more DJ-like approach to playing music, adjusting filters to pre-recorded tracks.

“People like seeing the live aspect thing brought into electronic music, but it would be really exhausting to mash up buttons for an hour,” Wasabi says. One time, Wasabi remembers messing up a song live, and getting so tripped up he just had to stop and move on to the next song.

If there’s any wonder why retro video game noises are so prominent in his early tunes, it’s because before recording solo, Wasabi was in a band that played chiptune, a style that mixes rock and electronic music with the bloops and bleeps of ’80s video games. What Wasabi is doing isn’t exactly chiptune, but it’s very similar. Even when he’s not sampling old video game noises, the fun, friendly vibe is right in line with the chiptune ethos. His music is just plain fun, sprinkled with cute noises, and doesn’t have an ounce of the aggression that has so dominated the big room and dubstep subgenres.

Basically, Wasabi is a gentle guy with green hair who loves to play video games and eat junk food, and his music reflects exactly who he is as a person.

“I’m not really threatening. I don’t think I have music that’s threatening either. I hardly get mad at people,” Wasabi says. “I tried making aggressive music, but that’s difficult for me.”

HGP SUPPER Join the Homeless Garden Project in celebrating the first in a two-part annual series of Sustain Suppers at their organic Natural Bridges farm. On Saturday, July 30, secretary of the California Department of Agriculture Karen Ross will present the event’s keynote address. “Programs like this are critical, as they bring together an essential need—food—and the opportunity for self-betterment that everyone deserves,” says Ross of the Homeless Garden Project. Ross has been a pivotal force behind environmental stewardship and climate change preparedness in agricultural practice and policy in California and throughout the wider national discourse. Chow down on the culinary creations of guest chefs from local restaurants and learn about one of California’s leading agricultural innovators.

Why did it take Edward F. Ricketts and Jack Calvin 10 years to get their seminal work Between Pacific Tides published? Did the director of Hopkins Marine Station, Walter K. Fisher, slow its progress with his critical review of the manuscript? Did Stanford University not approve of the ecological approach that the two authors took for the book? Or was it that Ricketts was simply isolated from the scientific community, as many of his time suggested? Thanks to numerous letters between Ricketts, Calvin, Stanford and invertebrate specialists around the world, the answers have finally been found. Join the Museum of Natural History in exploring the surprising history of Between Pacific Tides.

FRIDAY 7/29 ‘COLLECTION’ AT R.BLITZER GALLERY Peggy Guggenheim was a bohemian, a socialite, and an art collector. Born in New York City to the wealthy Guggenheim family, she was a character of fascination during her time, and remains so today. Known for having had more extramarital affairs than marriages (and, allegedly, 1,000 sexual partners), Guggenheim was a doer: she smuggled art into America during WWII, introduced Jackson Pollock to the American art scene, established galleries in London and New York City, and so much more. As a series of 34 brief episodes during her life, The Collection is a play that pays homage to the woman, the legend, paired with a work of art from her prized collection.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND KR3TURE

Oh, these DJs—all they do is stand behind their laptops and press play, right? Well, that may be the case for some electronic musicians, but it certainly isn’t for Krikor Andonian, who makes electronic music under the moniker KR3TURE. The audience may see him standing behind a laptop, but they’ll also see him playing a guitar, a melodica, a flute, a saxophone, and maybe even a harmonica.

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I’m primarily a multi-instrumentalist. I would feel awkward standing on stage not playing anything. That’s why I make music, because I love playing,” Andonian says. “I call it ‘acoustic electronic’ or ‘live electronic.’ It definitely has an electronic feel, but it’s written on instruments.”

40

People might already be familiar with Andonian. He’s one half of Feral Fauna, and he used to be a part of local group Audiafauna. Whether it’s with either of those groups, or in his solo work as KR3TURE, he always approaches electronic music through a unique lens.

It’s not strictly computer music. Any way he can best express himself, he’ll take it. The main difference with a KR3TURE set is he’ll most likely use sampled and glitched-out vocals, but that blend of organic and electronic will still be there.

“The lines today are blurred. We’re like a cyborg generation. It’s whatever inspires us the most,” Andonian says.

“Wherever we hear the sounds that we want to use, then we’re going to use those tools. I think there’s something really powerful about electronic music.

You can definitely go on journeys with acoustic music. I borrow from various people the things that I like, and make my own amalgamation of those elements.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 27. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10.

WEDNESDAY 7/27 REGGAE

JO MERSA MARLEY The grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley, Jo Mersa Marley is part of the next generation of musicians in a family whose musical legacy shows no signs of diminishing. Blending dancehall, reggae, R&B and EDM, the eldest son of Stephen Marley is making a name for himself as an adventurous artist in his own right.

As he told Rolling Stone, “I am one of the new generation of Marleys, but I am still experimenting at the same time … My plan is to do something new with my roots." CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

LATIN JAZZ

ARTURO SANDOVAL Cuban-born trumpeter Arturo Sandoval has been an international

force ever since he helped make Irakere the most influential Latin American jazz ensemble of the 1970s. His solo career really took off when he fled his homeland and settled in the U.S., where he was championed by modern jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie. A brass virtuoso with an ebullient stage persona, Sandoval is also an accomplished pianist who’s been known to sing a tune or two during his performances. Now based in Los Angeles, his band is stocked with well-traveled veterans. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 and 9 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $40/door. 427-2227.

INDIE-ROCK

WALLY JOYNER Wally Joyner rocks pretty hard, with influences like Guided By Voices and Dinosaur Jr. The dual guitar work is nuanced and layered with intricate harmonies and unexpected chord changes. It’s lively, immediate rock, but lush nonetheless. You can get lost in the subtle melodies underpinning the songs. Here’s hoping for

a new album soon by this talented local quartet. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 7/29 REGGAE

RICHIE SPICE Born Richell Bonner in Kingston, Jamaica, Richie Spice is a heavyweight in the international reggae scene. The Rastafari singer has been touring worldwide since the late 1990s, and is well known for his positive, inspiring messages of empowerment. In 2007, Richie’s hit single “Youths Dem Cold” made the Billboard Top 100 chart; the song’s lyrics capture the singer’s signature style and consciousness: “If education is the key, then tell me why the bigger heads make it so expensive for we?” KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 479-1854.

BE OUR GUEST FIDDLER ON THE ROOF This summer, Cabrillo Stage presents Fiddler on the Roof, the story of a poor Jewish dairyman named Tevye, and his five daughters in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in 1905. One of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time, Fiddler features unforgettable tunes—including “Tradition,”“Matchmaker, Matchmaker,”“If I Were A Rich Man,” and “Sunrise, Sunset”—and addresses the challenges of changing times and social mores, as well as the anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.

MONDAY 8/1 GARAGE-ROCK

MYSTERY LIGHTS

Based in East Nashville, Smooth Hound Smith is a hard-rocking Americana roots duo comprised of Zack Smith on guitars, vocals, foot drums, harmonica and banjo, and Caitlin Doyle on vocals and percussion. With an attention-grabbing sound that combines garage rock, blues, folk and soul, the duo balances the edgy progressiveness of a rock band with an obvious respect for well-established genres and styles. Currently mid-tour with the Dixie Chicks, Smooth Hound Smith is taking a break to play a handful of West Coast venues. CJ

The setting for Mystery Lights’ video “Melt” is at (semi) local record store Vinyl Revolution, down in Monterey County. These guys are from Brooklyn. So the point here is that this band knows a good remnant from the psychedelic ’60s when they see one. And owner Bob Gamber plays a prominent role in the video, greeting guests and tripping out on the neon flashing colors sparkling from the Mystery Lights’ record sleeve. Without even hearing the music, you would correctly guess that the music is filled with heavy doses of reverb, droning organs, and proto-punk drum beats.

It’ll bring you right back to the surreal ’60s—or if you were born after the decade, it’ll give you an honorary guest pass. AC

FILM

ANTICS ASIDE Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley play the dysfunctional duo that drove the ’90s TV series ‘Absolutely Fabulous.’

JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Ab’ Normal

Dysfunctional duo ages disgracefully in ‘Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie’ BY LISA JENSEN

T

he new Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is not for the uninitiated. If you’re not already a fan of the cultish ’90s TV series, chances are you’ll have no clue what’s supposed to be funny about two clownish women of a certain age in ridiculous clothing attempting to stave off the ravages of time with gallons of champagne, while clinging desperately, by ferociously manicured claws, to the ragged fringes of trendy pop culture.

But those who already have a soft spot in their hearts for the ribald and outrageous TV series will find much to chuckle at in the big-screen adventures of sad-sack Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and coolly caustic Patsy

(Joanna Lumley). Scripted by series creator Saunders for director Mandie Fletcher (veteran of many of the TV episodes), the movie falls prey to the pitfalls of TV-to-film adaptations: it’s tough to maintain a coherent storyline and keep delivering the laughs over 90 minutes instead of 30.

Still, despite the slower passages, the brio with which Eddie and Patsy pursue their absurd agenda—in the face of common sense, common decency and reality—remains oddly cheer-worthy. And beneath the frantic facade lurks a sharp satire of our celebrity-obsessed society, along with, at times, a surprisingly poignant look at how women who have the bad judgment to age are

treated by the popular culture that finds them so instantly disposable.

In the movie plot, would-be PR maven Eddie and sporadically employed fashion editor Patsy are at a crossroads. The alimony payments Eddie has been receiving for decades from her ex are about to run out.

This is bad news for the household his checks support, which includes Eddie’s sane, straight-arrow, longsuffering daughter, Saffy (Julia Sawalha), her elderly, slightly nuts mum (June Whitfield), her loopy factotum, Bubble (Jane Horrocks), and Saffy’s mixed-race 13-year-old daughter, Lola (Indeyarna DonaldsonHolness), recently arrived from Africa.

The cheerfully dysfunctional duo

is unable to grasp the concept of economy, even after Saffy cuts up her mother’s credit cards and empties all the champagne from their walk-in refrigerator. (“If you want things, you’re going to have to pay for them,” Saffy declares, to which Patsy replies with scrunch-faced disbelief, “Since when?”) When Eddie tries to sell her memoirs to a publisher (Mark Gattis, portrayer of Mycroft Holmes on TV’s Sherlock, which he also co-created), her book is rejected on the grounds that her life is “not interesting,” and nobody’s ever heard of her.

When word comes that supermodel Kate Moss is in the market for a new PR firm, Eddie and Pats crash a trendy London fashion event to try to sign her up—a celebrity-crammed sequence that lambasts the cult of the famous, and the even more vapid folk who interview them on the red carpet. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) and Jon Hamm are very funny as themselves in cameos.

But the plot doesn’t matter; it’s just the framework on which to hang random laughs, like the girls’ first distasteful experience flying economy class (Rebel Wilson is their tough-cookie stewardess). When Pats runs out of champagne, she snorts Chanel No. 5 out of a flask.

Hot on the trail of her wayward mom and daughter, Saffy winds up at a drag club, singing “At Seventeen”— which has all of the drag queens singing along, in tears.

The perpetual joke is that our heroines don’t realize they are no longer players in the trendy fashionista scene (if they ever were)— even though Pats still wears the same beehive hairdo, and Eddie incurs the wrath of Stella McCartney for daring to wear her clothes. As a movie, there’s not much there, but it’s still touching when Eddie admits their outrageous antics are their only defense against the fear of getting old and obsolete. At least the Ab Fab franchise continues to tout the joys of growing old disgracefully.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE **1/2 (out of four) With Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks, and June Whitfield. Written by Jennifer Saunders. Directed by Mandie Fletcher. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated R. 86 minutes.

NERVE While at first glance this could look like just a bunch of pretty young people running around a city, at second look, Nerve might be more of a dark, twisted, antics-of-youth-fueled Hunger Games-type thriller. It’s also from the directors of Paranormal Activity 3, so you know something weird is going to go down. Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman direct. Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, Emily Meade co-star. (PG-13) 96 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. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE Reviewed this issue. Maddie Fletcher directs. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks costar. (R) 90 minutes.

THE BFG Roald Dahl’s classic BFG brought to the screen with Mark Rylance as the beloved vegetarian giant. Steven Spielberg directs.

Rebecca Hall and Bill Hader co-star.

(PG) 117 minutes.

CAFÉ SOCIETY Classic elegant nostalgia from Woody Allen, right down to the semi-awkward, semialluring cast and a love triangle with an OK-looking dude (Jesse Eisenberg, who may just be the quintessential Allen lead) and ridiculously goodlooking females, this time dancing between 1930s Hollywood glamour and New York gangsterdom. Kristen Stewart looks to be at her best, but as one online reviewer put it: “Her part required some aloofness and mystery and she did a good job, whether because she is a good actress or because her range is limited.”Woody Allen directs. Steve Carell co-stars. (PG13) 96 minutes.

Wilson, Madison Wolfe co-star. (R) 143 minutes.

EAT THAT QUESTION: FRANK ZAPPA IN HIS OWN WORDS “Zappa has often been seen to be a force of cultural darkness, bearded and gross and filthy, entirely obscene, a Mephistophelian figure serving as a lone brutal reminder of music’s potential for invoking chaos and destruction.”That’s what Time magazine said about Frank Zappa, now see what Zappa has to say on the subject of himself. Thorsten Schütte directs. Frank Zappa, Steve Allen, and Angel co-star. (R) 93 minutes.

FINDING DORY There are no words, only happy squeals of joy. Now go find that fish! Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane direct. Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill co-star. (PG) 103 minutes.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Raising his six children to be philosopher kings in the forest of the Pacific West, Viggo Mortensen is thrown back into the harsh truth of the real world when his wife suddenly passes away. Matt Ross directs. Frank Langella and Kathryn Hahn co-star. (R) 118 minutes.

FREE STATE OF JONES Inspired by the life of Newton Knight, this film features Matthew McConaughey as the Mississippi farmer who led a gang of rebels against the Confederate Army and declared Jones County a free, mixed-race community. Gugu MbathaRaw and Mahershala Ali co-star. (R) 139 minutes.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE An overweight high-school kid with braces singing “Never Gonna Get It” grows into the Rock we all know and love (he saves puppies in real life, guys), who’s joined the CIA. Poor Kevin Hart keeps ending up in long, involved car rides where the driver is way better equipped to handle the situation than he is. Rawson Marshall Thurber directs.

Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Danielle Nicolet co-star. (PG-13) 114 minutes.

GHOSTBUSTERS After what feels like a very long year of advertising for this film, the highly anticipated and even more highly criticized all-female reboot of the franchise is finally available to be ripped apart by every Ghostbusters fan, ever (RIP Harold Ramis). Any film with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon can’t be too bad, right? Right? We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Paul Feig directs. (PG13) 116 minutes.

THE CONJURING 2 Lorraine and Ed, crosses turning upside down, murder, suicide, both, whatever. We can’t tell you what the first one was about because certain film blurb writers are too afraid of scary movies to watch them with the sound on—or, like, at all. But, chances are that if you’re up for watching the second one you probably liked the first one and IMDB gives it 9.1 stars out of ten, so those are all good signs for fans of horror films and paranormal investigators. James Wan directs. Vera Farmiga, Patrick

HUNT FOR THE WILDER PEOPLE Ricky was raised on hip-hop and foster care and is adorably defiant. He’s pure hip-hop, or at least that’s how he sees himself, so when he decides to run away into the New Zealand brush, he’s all gangsta kangaroo and stuff.

Thankfully, his adoptive uncle (the ever-stoic Sam Neill) finds him and decides to join in on giving society a big middle finger and run away for good.

From the director of What We Do in the Shadows and Boy, Taika Waititi. Julian Dennison and Rima Te Wiata co-star.

(PG-13) 101 minutes.

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE Considering it’s been fourteen years since the first one came out, it might be time for the Ice Age franchise to come to an end. How exactly do you fight off a meteor anyway? Galen T. Chu and Mike Thurmeier direct. Stephanie Beatriz, Robert Cardone, Neil deGrasse Tyson co-star. (PG) 94 minutes.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Twenty years after Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum fought off the invading aliens, the galactic bullies are back and, with 11 writers on this sequel and a $200-million budget for special effects, it’s theoretically bigger than ever. Buckle up: “she has arrived.” Roland Emmerich directs.

Liam Hemsworth co-stars. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

THE INFILTRATOR From small-town meth drug lord to a grumpy blacklisted screenwriter, Bryan Cranston now emerges as an undercover narcotics officer (obviously the next in the natural progression of roles) in Florida, circa 1986, who gets deep into the money-laundering scheme of none other than Pablo Escobar. Brad Furman directs. John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger co-star. (R) 127 minutes.

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Man has midlife crisis, is disillusioned with life in the big city and a nagging wife, returns to the jungle to finally get some peace and quiet. David Yates directs. Margot Robbie, Alexander Skarsgård, Ella Purnell co-star. (PG-13) 109 minutes.

LIGHTS OUT This horror movie about creepies who only appear in darkness (and are scared off by the light) is winning over fans, but from the trailer it’s clear—and kind of funny—how much the filmmakers have to cheat on the idea of the monsters only coming out in “darkness.” Because, you know, if they were true to their premise, there wouldn’t be a whole lot to look at. David F. Sandberg directs. Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, and Maria Bello costar. (PG-13) 81 minutes.

MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES The fact that Brosef McBroferston himself, Zac Efron (who also rides sharks in his spare time) is in this is negated by the presence of the genius magical-unicorn life force that

is Aubrey Plaza. You may proceed. Jake Szymanski directs. Adam Devine and Anna Kendrick co-star. (R) 98 minutes.

MUSIC OF STRANGERS: YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD Internationally beloved cellist Yo-Yo Ma brings together musicians from all over the world to explore their philosophies on music, culture, life, and meaning. GT film reviewer Lisa Jensen gives it three-andhalf stars out of four: read her piece in our July 6 issue. Morgan Neville directs.

(PG-13) 96 minutes.

OUR KIND OF TRAITOR It must be a good week for the Skarsgård family: son Alexander is Tarzan in the aforementioned big-budget remake, and father Stellan plays a desperate Russian oligarch who seeks help from a couple on vacation (Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris) in this film. We are totally OK with this Swedish invasion. Susanna White directs. Damian Lewis co-stars. (R) 107 minutes.

THE PURGE: ELECTION DAY Rick and Morty’s version is probably better. James DeMonaco directs.

Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo, Mykelti Williamson co-star. (R) 105 minutes.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS The only way we could be more excited about an entire animated film about what pets do when their masters are away is if Liam Hemsworth was in it. Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney direct. Jenny Slate, Albert Brooks, Kevin Hart co-star.

Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert direct. Mary Elizabeth Winstead costars. (R) 95 minutes.

Innovative brewing methods, refreshing results at the newly opened Elkhorn Slough Brewing Co. BY LILY STOICHEFF

L

ast Saturday, a stream of thirsty customers made their inaugural visit to Elkhorn Slough Brewing Co. to investigate Watsonville’s first brewery. From the steady congratulations bestowed upon owners Julie Rienhardt and Michael Enos on their opening weekend, this day had been eagerly anticipated.

I was looking forward to visiting the brewery myself, having had the opportunity to enjoy some of its small-batch beers at local taprooms in Santa Cruz over the last few months. The craft brewery is located in a high-ceilinged warehouse in an industrial park off of Airport Boulevard, a short distance as

the heron flies from its nearby namesake estuary.

A chalkboard menu and a short bar welcome guests as they enter through a roll-up door. A modest three-barrel brew house hugs the back wall, and a smattering of upturned barrels, picnic tables and much-loved furniture fills most of the space. It’s cozy, and thankfully cool on a hot day, especially with a glass of lemony, grassy Low Tide saison in my hand, and my friend’s dog snoozing at my feet.

But what really captured my interest was a neat row of oak barrels lined up on the opposite wall under decals of cranes leaping into flight. Inside them is beer, delicious

beer, slowly maturing in its port, whiskey, or wine-infused casing, while yeast—which began its life on apples from Rienhardt and Enos’ property—metabolizes its sugars into complex flavors.

Enos and Reinhardt’s brewing methods for their barrel-aged beers take hyper-localized brewing to a whole new level. They begin by pressing apples from their orchard and allowing the juice to ferment farmhouse-stye in the open air, culturing the yeast found naturally on the fruit. Then, they inoculate their barrel-aged beers with this active cider, producing truly wild ales with unique, complex, and sometimes wholly unexpected characteristics.

If this sounds like an unusual way to ferment beer, it’s because it is. It can be risky, because it’s difficult to control—a brewer isn’t always sure what kind of yeast will take hold or what kinds of flavors it will produce. “That’s why our motto is, ‘May the funk be with you,” Enos says, laughing. He is being modest.

A veteran brewer of more than two decades, he’s had the opportunity to fine-tune his recipes and has the competitive accolades to prove it.

Still, there’s a significant amount of seasonal improvisation inherent to his methods.

“We like to listen to our environment, and incorporate it into our beers as much as possible,” says Enos. “That’s why we have a place name for our brewery,” adds Reinhardt. “We feel there’s amazing nature all around us, and there’s great flavors in nature. We’re using ingredients that are available here, brewing at ambient temperatures and really having some fun. Our beer reflects what we think is the taste and flavor of this area.”

As an example, they point out one barrel smeared with dark purple juice—evidence of the 20-ish pounds of fresh olallieberries they crammed into it the weekend before. When the local prickly pears ripen, the fuschiacolored fruits will be added to an old tequila barrel with their house saison.

Most of these beers won’t be ready for another four to 12 months—so stay tuned. In the meantime, the new brewery is definitely worth a visit. There were five beers on tap last weekend, including the Gooseblind IPA, which is laden with tropical pineapple flavors and aromas. My favorite was the Moro Cojo, a medium-bodied sweet and sour wheat saison that I was amazed to find is brewed with Kolsch yeast. This culture, which usually produces clean, crisp lagers, had been distressed by high Watsonville temperatures, which resulted in some deliciously funky flavors. Says Enos about their unorthodox style, “We like to use brewing knowledge, and the un-knowledge, and then break that knowledge.”

Ted’s Riverview Coffee Ted Jones seeks to deliver the perfect beans BY AARON CARNES

C

offee is just coffee? Local coffee roaster Ted Jones begs to differ. In his opinion, even the premium brands of coffee don’t scratch the surface of the blissful, culinary experience one can have with the right cup. That’s why he started Ted’s Riverview Coffee (formerly Riverview Coffee Roasters) a few years ago. He gathers the best coffee beans from all over the world, roasts them just right, and delivers them to coffee lovers in the area—or anywhere, really. Folks only need go to his website to order some. We asked him to spill the beans on his business.

TED JONES: Absolutely fantastic. I only deal in the very top 1 percent of all coffee in the world, the very best of the best. It’s hard to get it across. You’ve got to experience it to realize what a difference there is.

Coffee is really at its best the first couple of weeks from roasting, but it’s really hard for people to get coffee that fresh. When you get it at Peet’s or Starbucks, you’re getting coffee that’s older. Sometimes the bag of Starbucks that’s sold is up to two

years from roasting. The average is six months from the roast date.

Where do you source your coffee?

Really great coffee is seasonal. I’m only getting coffees that are six to nine months maximum from harvest. If I had to pick my top three favorites, it would be Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Brazil. I usually try to keep those three on the menu as much as possible.

The Guatemalan is so balanced and pleasing. It’s a great coffee to put in a blend, because it can anchor a blend and give it that traditional aspect that you’re looking for in coffee. Then a really nice Brazilian has a beautiful nuttiness to it. Sometimes it’ll get other flavors like spice and raisin, but really good, nice-bodied coffee without having to be over-roasted.

Ethiopia is so amazing because that is the birthplace of Arabica. It’s where the first high-quality coffee trees were found. Many of them are still growing in places they’ve grown for hundreds of thousands of years. You get all sorts of characteristics in [that] coffee that you won’t get in other places. riverviewcoffeeroasters.com.

Loma Prieta A luscious Viognier to evoke the tropics on a summer night BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

here’s nothing I like more than opening a chilled bottle of Viognier on a summer night. And when you’re imbibing on a good one such as the Loma Prieta 2013—with grapes from the Amorosa Vineyard in Lodi—it’s a little bit of heaven in a glass. With its aromatic fragrances of orange blossom, hibiscus, coconut milk, honeydew melon and jasmine, you will be transported to a tropical island from the first swirl and smell.

And when you taste it, gorgeous flavors of guava, papaya, lychee and ripe peaches put you further into the tropics, flowing “smoothly and softly across the palate like a fine silk robe,” says winery owner Paul Kemp. For $28, this is a luscious white wine. Plus, Viognier is a nice departure from the “usual suspects.”

Loma Prieta Winery is a beautiful place to visit, with stunning panoramic views of the Monterey Bay from their patio. Kemp says his is one of the few wineries worldwide making Pinotage—and is America’s largest producer, in fact. So if you love this full-bodied red, that’s another good reason to visit Loma Prieta Winery.

Rather than rely on a navigation system, the winery suggests that you follow the directions on their website to the tasting room, which is located at an elevation of 2,600 feet, up a bucolic winding road—well worth the drive.

Loma Prieta Winery, 26985 Loma Prieta Way, Los Gatos. 408-353-2950.

Open Saturday and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. and on Fridays in the summer. lomaprietawinery.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LEO—SHINING LIKE SUNLIGHT

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 27, 2016 Leo is the month in which we praise one another.

Recognizing the creative luminous light of purpose within everyone’s life. We seek to discover everyone’s talents, abilities and gifts. We praise them and then everyone’s evolution advances, expands, increases, multiplies and magnifies. We shine like sunlight.

As we praise each other, we gradually cultivate love, a healing tool emanating from the heart of the Sun to our hearts. In Leo we unveil the ability to embrace and hear each other, heart to heart. We realize that crisis and the dark moments actually shape our dreams and visions. We tell each other we are never alone. For we were born in these times and for each other. Each of us an immense force of Love.

All of this is revealed when the Sun is in Leo. Leo is the sign of the Soul. When we praise each other unconditionally, we realize we needn’t make ourselves whole again.

We are already perfect.

And life becomes a continuous unveiling of true identity, experience after experience, crisis after crisis, praise after praise. Praise neutralizes and nourishes.

Praise is our “call” to each other. To discover the most essential meaning and purpose in our lives, and living this out in relationship with self, others, nature, and the planet. Praise helps us develop selfhood. Praise foreshadows and prepares us for the Light of the Soul. Praise unveils the Soul.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A few questions based upon looking at your chart.

What’s occurring in your work world? Transformation?

How are you holding up? What’s happening with relationships and/or marriage? Do you feel committed or uncommitted? How do you see yourself? Are you feeling like a revolution has taken hold of your body, emotions and mind? It has; life is hard, the world is changing. Hold on. Love is underlying everything.

It’s most important to act, dress and present your very best professional self at all times. Make yourself as beautiful and/or as handsome as possible—tailored, conservative, emanating quality, eminence and value. In all that you do, be a guiding light to those around you. A Vesta Light. Observe carefully your partner’s needs and wants. Relationships can quickly become topsy-turvy. Safeguard and stabilize them.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Everyone around you has become a source of support and ideas so that you can become more of yourself.

New viewpoints, archetypes, new rhythms, even the consideration of different geographical locations shifts your worldview, tilting it from how and where you grew up into an entirely new vista of thought. Take very special care of your health. Clean and clear your environments.

Do you feel rather awkward? Are things uncomfortable?

Are you more than the usual ill-at-ease, out of your depth, self-conscious, discomfited? Things are really unusual this month for some signs ruled by Mars. Don’t turn against yourself or others when difficulties arise. Mars is taking its time in its trajectory forward. Use money wisely. Expect delays. Turn to art, music, good food, and the spirituality of the heart. And understand the Burning Ground.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

I often write about devas, light beings, angels, referring to the work at Findhorn. We must begin to work with devas for they build all things in form and matter.

Eventually we will work with them directly in creating the new culture and civilization. We must ask to be able to see them. We begin by communicating with them from the heart. Do you have roses? There are rose devas and all types of flower and plant devas. They like you.

All relationships, intimacies, friendships, partnerships, interactions will require on your part a greater sensitivity and awareness. Step back from being the beautiful, smart and glamorous one, the one who brilliantly displays and voices your wounds. Observe others for a while to see if they are feeling sad, overwhelmed or neglected. You will be called to repair, tend to, sustain and maintain all relationships. The reward will be surprising.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 For the next month it’s good to have young people nearby, good to study something, good to travel, good to tend and care for the neighborhood. For the next year there will be continual transformation and change. All changes will turn to blessings. More and more you will want to explore places unknown, through the written word or travel.

Everything that occurs will make you better, more gracefilled. You will be guided toward a new independence.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

It’s a concentrated fiery time for you, Leo, as three fires from the Sun enter our world. We’re all in the Burning Ground.

Leo is the fire from the Sun which makes you very sensitive.

You are emerging from behind the scenes in order to offer new ideas, presenting them to the world so that they are accepted and understood. There’s a light emanating from your heart that people see and sense. Visualize that light with all the Seven Ray colors touching all of life.

It’s good to remember happiness and joys shared with others. If you have children or are around them, pay special attention to them. Seek to know their gifts and support them. It’s good to entertain now, have friends around, sharing food, experiences, ideas, ways to build community. Are you experiencing a more-than-usual need for nurturance and nourishment? Offer this to others. You will help to create something—like the new culture and civilization and new sharing society.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Notice if your thoughts are at times in the past then quickly leaping to the future. It’s important to make the present your most important focus. Being in the past or future makes the practicality difficult. Focus on religious and spiritual feelings. So many new thoughts concerning your self-identity occur in the coming months. Rest, and imagine who you might be. Tend to all responsibilities with grace and goodwill.

Traveling and communicating, writing and teaching—many goals will begin to appear in daily life and in dreams. You will feel anxious to move forward into a new life, with new targets and aspirations. Careful with medicines and all drugs. Don’t gamble. Careful with fire and hot things. Mars is moving forward again. Use restlessness and discontent to know it’s time to travel and move about again. Pack lightly. You need much more art and beauty around you.

You’re sensitive, and especially sensitive during Leo, more than usual. Are you sensing your energy from low to erratic? Rest is needed. Are finances and money concerning you? Do you want to discuss these issues but feel apprehensive? In between all that you do each day, between responsibilities and tasks, the focus must be upon retreat, things contemplative and quiet. You need quiet to heal, actually. Rest your eyes.

SHOP PER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Executive chef, Lion Fish Supper Club Hobbies: Mushroom foraging, poetry, dancing, music, concerts, the outdoors Astrological Sign: Taurus As a chef, why do you like shopping Shopper’s? The store has products I’m looking for that nobody else carries. Plus they’ll special-order anything you need.

With their selection of cheeses, pickles, anchovies, capers, green peppercorns, olive oils and vinegars, it reminds me of a European-style market. Although Shopper’s seems small, I’m amazed at how much is here, including a large selection of products that are just fun. I think they have a little more awareness of good food than others markets. I like that the staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable here, more than any other place. There’s always someone around to help you; they’ll go across the store to find products you’re looking for.

You shop here for your restaurant? Oh yeah.

Quality is the bottom line in my cooking.

Shopper’s meat department is great. The butchers are terrific and super knowledgeable about their cuts, and I know the meats have been treated really well. They have a large variety which I love because we change our cuisine and menu monthly. I call it post-fusion. We dive into regions from all over the world. Shopper’s organic produce has better quality and pricing than the farmers markets. I like to know where my food comes from for numerous reasons. I try to avoid products which were shipped in massive containers. Local is where it’s at.

What would you say about Shopper’s to a new community resident? To me, Shopper’s is representative of the greater Santa Cruz area. They seem to honor better quality ingredients here, which creates a sense of nostalgia for a style of good cooking. The vibe I get from customers here is that they’ve shopped at Shopper’s their entire life.

It definitively feels like the happening store plus it’s the first place of employment for many of their employees. It’s been here since 1938 — that’s awesome! This is the place for good wine, great bourbons, and so many fine ports — I’ve had to ask for help. We most buy most of our cooking liquors here because of the quality and variety.

“To me, Shopper's is representative of the greater Santa Cruz area. They seem to honor better quality ingredients here.”
