OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE GT tends not to have a “music issue,” per se, because we cover so much music every week. But if we did have one, this would probably be it.

The funny thing is that we didn’t stuff so much music coverage into this issue because we were trying to make some grand statement, or because we were keeping to a theme. There was just so much happening this week, we didn’t know what else to do.

First, there’s Cat Johnson’s in-depth look at why, as it celebrates its 40th anniversary, Santa Cruz Guitar Company is producing some of the best instruments in the world.

Re: “Is Prop. 47 Broken?” (GT, 8/24): I read Prop. 47 before I voted “No.” I’m in favor of releasing those incarcerated for victimless crimes (such as drug use, prostitution, etc.), which this proposition falsely hinted at addressing.

I realized immediately the destruction to victim’s lives that would be caused by including petty thieves. Being a victim of these crimes myself in the San Lorenzo Valley, the resulting negative consequences to theft are: a feeling of personal assault, the inability to practice a trade without the necessary tool, the cost of replacing the items, and the impossibility of replacing personal items such as pictures, heirlooms, and no-longer-made knick knacks. Not to mention the raising of the grand theft denomination to $1,000, which isn’t petty theft to a poor person. Petty thieves were already being released between one to six months—barely a slap on the wrist. They would shrug it off as the cost of doing illegal business, and be back to their old ways as soon as they were released. Is it any wonder that they don’t worry about being caught at all under this Prop. 47 change? It leaves

probably won’t look at a guitar—or maybe even just wood in general— the same way again.

This weekend is also the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol festival up in Felton, and I interviewed Sheila E., who performs Sunday, to mark the occasion.

Known not only for her solo hits but also for her collaboration with Prince, she’s just released a tribute to him that’s extremely moving. With her up at Mountain Sol Saturday and Sunday will be George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and a lot more.

Also featured in this issue are locals punkers SA90, Americana favorite Wayne Hancock, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, and a local tribute to the late Guy Clark at Kuumbwa that should be a knockout.

See you next “music issue”—that is to say, next week.

The slugs are inching their way toward elite status. UCSC was named the 30th best public university in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in their latest college rankings. It was number 79 overall on the list of 310 national universities, up from 82 the year before. It was also ranked 26th for best value colleges and number 17 on the list for ethnic diversity.

Santa Cruz Skateboards made the Guinness Book of World Records last week, when Kyle Wester broke the record for downhill speed, topping out at a terrifying 89.41 miles per hour at an undisclosed location on a steep, winding mountain road. Sporting a zip-up speed suit, Wester used a Road Rider board with Shred Mags wheels and Mob Super Coarse Grip Tape.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 14 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

What should you do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects? Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness? My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt—with gentle but firm good humor.

“Brainwashing” is a word with negative connotations. It refers to an intensive indoctrination that scours away a person’s convictions and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days. According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly wash your own brain—thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 For the foreseeable future, your main duty is to be in love. Rowdily and innocently in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with whom or what? Everyone and everything—or at least with as much of everyone and everything as you can manage. I realize this is a breathtaking assignment that will require you to push beyond some of your limitations and conjure up almost superhuman levels of generosity. But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens suggest is necessary if you want to break through to the next major chapter of your life story.

GEMINI May21–June20 What do you hope to be when you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? A master multi-tasker who’s paid well for the art of never being bored? A versatile virtuoso who is skilled at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to entertain fantasies like these—to dream about your future success and happiness. You are likely to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainstorm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I invite you to be as creative as you dare.

“Dear Soul Doctor: I have been trying my best to bodysurf the flood of feelings that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t drowned! That’s good news, right? But I don’t know how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain so much concentration. The power and volume of the surge doesn’t seem to be abating. Are there any signs that I won’t have to do this forever? Will I eventually reach dry land?—Careening Crab.”

Dear Careening: Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you can enjoy the ride more. Re-imagine your journey as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal. And remember to feel grateful: Not many people have your capacity to feel so deeply.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 My astrological divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking. But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much—unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, stumbling out into the wasteland and screaming curses toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.) For best results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourself to more silence and serenity than you usually do. Meditate with the relaxed ferocity of a Zen monk high on sublime emptiness. Got all that?

Now here’s the best part: Compose a playfully edgy message to God, telling Her about all the situations you want Her to help you transform during the next 12 months.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Novelist Tom Robbins said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.” Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared, “Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor.” Are you fed up with my boasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you from further displays of egomania under one condition: You have to brag about yourself a lot in the coming days—and not just with understated little chirps and peeps. Your expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, flamboyant, exultant, witty and sincere.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 By normal standards, your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. You may score a new privilege, increase your influence, or forge a connection that boosts your ability to attract desirable resources. But accomplishments like those will be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will you understand yourself better? Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about what you have to learn and what you have to jettison?

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

If there can be such a thing as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable. To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your so-called liabilities to your advantage.

I’m confident that you would never try to sneak through customs with cocaine-laced goat meat or 100 live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband. Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Should you be worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel, or superhero? Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr, or centaur? I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche. They might mean your imagination wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you. And this would be in accordance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saying this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly wise. I am divinely surprising.”

Caution: You may soon be exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence, and mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate. Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace? Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully successful? I hope you can find a way to at least temporarily adopt an almost comically expansive optimism. That might be a good way to ensure you’re not blindsided by delight.

Best Mortgage Source?

Bank, Banker or Broker?

Q: My question for you is why are you currently a broker and what do you think is REALLY AND OBJECTIVELY the best source for purchase and refinance loans?

A: Here is my “objectively biased” view:

Save 10% on All Orders for Rowe & Robin Bruce Seating Now through Sept. 24

1) BANKS: Its no secret that I share the popular opinion that the big banks, who paid major fines for bad behavior ( remember Washington Mutual?) are probably not the best source for a home mortgage. Banks want borrowers to think that is safer and more secure to get a home loan from a bank and, therefore, it can be worth paying more to work with them. I don’t agree. Banks are often good sources for Home Equity Lines of Credit and I have a list of good sources for HELOCs that I give to those seeking a HELOC because I do not do them.

LOCAL BANKS and CREDIT UNIONS are very different from the big banks and do many things to serve their communities by providing auto loans, consumer loans, construction loans and commercial lines of credit. They are not usually the best source for home loans due to price and selection--but what they do well is great for the communities they serve.

Need it by the holidays?

Order Now!

2) MORTGAGE BANKERS offer the security of working with someone who is “closer” to the decision maker and often tout the same line as the big banks: “Your loan is more secure with us...” which sounds good, but after over 30 years in the business, mostly brokering loans to various hand-picked mortgage bankers, that argument does not really ring true for me. The fact that the big banks and mortgage bankers have found ways to get around the full disclosure of their actual compensation is a loophole that I KNOW does not serve consumers.

3) MORTGAGE BROKERS, when experienced, often know the best source for each individual client’s situation, qualifications and needs. Brokers who abide by the compensation rule, lock in their compensation and can charge less but never more than a certain pre-determined amount. Since broker compensation is locked in and FULLY DISCLOSED EVERY TIME and since they cannot steer clients to loans that pay them more, brokers are motivated to serve their client’s needs as their sole purpose, whereas bankers and banks can have various agendas such as banking services, ATM fees, back-end profits of loan sales and the.

cars) is here, and oil prices are likely to rocket up in the near future. The current price of oil is bizarrely low, and it will not stay like this. If we put all of our eggs in one basket (cars and highways), we may soon be really screwed. No, electric cars will not save us (they require too much energy to make and charge). For this reason, we need an alternative such as a train service running from one end of the county to the other—and more public transportation in general. Kudos to Trail Now for raising issues with the current plan. None of these issues are insurmountable, so let’s support a rail

YOU’RE NOT THE FLOSS OF ME The federal government has removed flossing from its Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

String Break?

I

f there were a Ten Commandments for healthy habits, flossing would definitely make the list: Thou shall use dental floss daily to help prevent cavities and gum disease. It’s not an easy habit to start, in fact, the late comedian Mitch Hedberg compared it to quitting smoking.

But, along with “only floss the teeth you want to keep,” the seemingly sage advice to use dental floss on a daily basis has been instilled in us—by dentists, parents, and beginning in 1979, the government—almost from the time we sprouted our first tooth.

All of that has come into question, though, after an August article

published by the Associated Press set off a flurry of headlines suggesting that the benefits of dental floss are not actually backed up by scientific proof.

AP’s research analysis focused on 25 studies, including a 2011 review published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews which looked at the results of 12 randomized controlled trials comparing the combination of tooth brushing and flossing on plaque and gingivitis to that of tooth brushing alone. Not only did all 12 trials have either a high or unclear risk of bias, the authors concluded that there was “weak, very unreliable evidence from 10 studies that flossing plus toothbrushing may be associated

with a small reduction in plaque at one and three months,” and that “no studies reported the effectiveness of flossing plus toothbrushing for preventing dental caries (cavities).”

Another 2015 meta-review published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology concluded that “weak evidence of unclear or small magnitude was retrieved that supported dental floss … to reduce gingivitis in addition to tooth brushing.” The review’s results also showed no evidence of any effect on plaque.

A systematic review published in the International Journal of Dental Hygiene in 2008 also found that “a greater part of the studies did not

Though recently skewered for a lack of scientific evidence, flossing still seems smart BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

show a benefit for floss on plaque and clinical parameters of gingivitis.”

Following AP’s requests for evidence from the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture last year, the government acknowledged that the effectiveness of flossing had not been researched as required, and therefore removed it this year from its Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are issued every five years.

But does this apparent lack of empirical evidence of flossing’s effectiveness against plaque, cavities and gum disease mean we should stop reaching for it every day?

Local dentist Dr. Jonathon Wagner says, “Sometimes in life you don’t necessarily need scientific proof for every decision you make. Sometimes you just need to use common sense—cleaning between your teeth is not a bad thing.”

Wagner, a dentist for more than 15 years who currently practices at Santa Cruz Dental Group, draws a parallel to our proclivity for organic food in spite of a lack of strong scientific evidence proving its superiority. There’s just an intuitive sense that food grown without chemicals and pesticides would be healthier—and the same goes for cleaning the two sides of teeth that brushing misses.

“On a daily basis, we see people that do and don’t floss, and there’s a significant difference between the two,” says Wagner. “The people that floss have fewer cavities between the teeth and better overall gum health.”

The truth is that when it comes to a practice like flossing, producing strong scientific evidence can be quite difficult. Studies are hard to blind with an obvious and somewhat invasive treatment like flossing—and to truly tease out a long-term effect, the studies have to be just that: longterm. Participants would need to be studied for months or years to see if their flossing or lack thereof really did result in better oral health.

So, while the fact that the feds have dropped their official flossing recommendation may seem like a viable excuse to drop the habit, you may regret it years from now when you’re just brushing the last couple of teeth in your mouth.

NEWS PEAK INTEREST For Obama at Tahoe Summit, conservation is not just a talking point

SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ARDY RAGHIAN

12

“Conservation is more than just putting up a plaque and calling something a park,” President Barack Obama said at the 20th annual Tahoe Summit as he beamed down over a sea of camera phones and sunglasses reflecting the cloudless blue sky and pulsing sun above.

“We embrace conservation because healthy and diverse land and waters help us build resilience to climate change. We do it to free more of our communities and plants and animals from fire, droughts and displacement,” he said.

Obama opened his remarks at the Aug. 31 summit with a few jokes—including a reference to Fredo’s tragic demise at the lake in The Godfather Part II—before switching to a more reflective and solemn tone. In some ways, the event in Stateline, Nevada was reminiscent of a music festival—one headlined by the Killers, who took the stage right after the president.

Obama discussed climate change and conservation at his highly anticipated landmark talk. Sen. Barbara Boxer, Sen. Harry Reid (Nevada) and Gov. Jerry Brown spoke as well.

All year, Obama has been on something of a public relations tour, touting the successes that his administration has achieved over the past eight years, and bringing a more lighthearted tone to his speeches. But his trip to Lake Tahoe represented more than that.

The president has been doubling down lately on his environmental credentials— adding 400 more acres to Yosemite, for instance, on his visit to the national park in June, and ordering a halt to a controversial North Dakota pipeline last week.

On the same day as his speech in Tahoe, the White House announced $35 million to restore streams near Tahoe, manage stormwater runoff and reduce fire hazards, like dead trees, in the area.

Two decades ago, Tahoe’s emerald waters were becoming murky, and invasive species along with logging and unfettered growth were “wreaking havoc,” said Reid, who hosted the event and spoke before Obama.

Today, Tahoe is healthier, thanks to Republicans and Democrats working together, Brown explained. The lake, he said, is an example of how natural beauty can transcend politics.

Sanders supporters ask city council candidates to sign on to controversial platform BY MAT WEIR

I

n the final days of Bernie Sanders’ campaign over the summer, his tone shifted.

He ceased criticizing his opponent Hillary Clinton’s ties to Wall Street and finished talking about winning the Democratic nomination, as Clinton had by that point amassed a clear path to victory.

The U.S. Senator from Vermont lauded his hard-working team and thanked people who had made their first foray into politics by helping to get the vote out for Sanders. He also

pushed them to go one step further.

“Now we need many of them to start running for school boards, city councils, county commissions, state legislatures and governorships,” Sanders said via livestream on June 16. “State and local governments make enormously important decisions and we cannot allow rightwing Republicans to increasingly control them.”

Santa Cruz already has a long history of involvement in local politics, including one activist slate

after another seeking office on Santa Cruz City Council, some of them more successful than others. But this year, the excitement generated by Sanders’ run propelled the opportunity for a new platform. Local organizers looked at data from online and phone surveys of their members. Then, they went to work on a candidate pledge.

“We saw what the priorities were and gave them categories,” lead organizer Shawn Orgel-Olson says.

“They aren’t all of the priorities, but the top ones we found.” >14

NEWS MODERN OLDERHOOD

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

Times have changed, no one can argue that: iPads to order in restaurants, binge-watching a season of great shows, no criminal charges when a bank admits corrupt behavior. But folks’ expectations around selling houses is still a little stuck, especially so if it is the family home that belongs to an over 70-year-old occupant who last sold in the ‘60s or ‘70s.

In those days “wiggle room” was the topic du jour. You perhaps tidied up the garden, or mowed the lawn, had people come look and were sure they would “just make an offer” and then “we can negotiate”. Well, that was when the pace of life was leisurely, there were 15 channels on TV and kids still did lemonade stands without a marketing app.

Today, thanks in part to the pace of the market and shows about selling homes (some very fictionalized and edited), the buyers’ expectations have changed massively. They want a turnkey home they can move into and enjoy, so explaining that sea change to someone convinced they know how to approach the sale can be tricky.

If you are selling your home in this market, and it hasn’t been freshened up since the ‘70s, you can do one of two things: drop your shoulders, accept that your colors are not appealing to new buyers and the carpet in bathroom has to go, and make a lot more money by updating. Or, rebel and put it on market as is and suffer the indignities of no offers or low offers and a constant critique of your personal choices. That’s no fun, either.

If this is your nest egg, or your entrée into an agespecific swanky residential setup, you need every penny.

If you choose a talented, and I mean extra-talented Realtor, you will recoup the money they ask you to spend and then some, and have an excited, committed buyer to boot.

But extra-talented Realtors are not common. Find someone with a background in the arts or design, or who is just clever about what buyers want. Please just don’t put a sign in the yard, declutter the personal stuff and hope for the best. You will leave all that discount money you so cleverly negotiated with the average Realtor, and way more, on the table.

PLEDGE DRIVE <12 The local election pledge that Santa Cruz for Bernie crafted last month was split into seven categories, including affordable housing, homelessness and police accountability. But its critics say the details of its platform are unworkable, and in some cases even illegal.

Out of 11 City Council candidates, five have signed onto the pledge: grant writer Steve Pleich, assistant professor Sandy Brown, internship coordinator Chris Krohn, nonprofit director Drew Glover and bike mechanic Steve Schnaar.

“One of the things I loved about Bernie Sanders is even though he didn’t win, he changed the debate,” says Schnaar. “You can’t expect everything to come out the way you say you want it, but I at least want to change the debate.”

Other issues on the platform include limiting UCSC growth, accelerating a $15 dollar hourly minimum wage, community gardens, and funding for more sustainable transportation.

It demands, for instance, that 25 percent of any new housing complex’s units be affordable, up from a previous requirement of 15 percent, and that developers won’t be able to pay in-lieu fees instead of actually constructing low-income units. “Affordable housing.

That’s the story of this election,” says Chris Krohn who served as mayor in 2002 and hasn’t run for City Council since. He says he felt inspired and awestruck when he witnessed the optimism of Sanders firsthand in Philadelphia over the summer.

A few weeks ago, Schnaar, Krohn, Glover and Brown all won endorsements from Santa Cruz for Bernie, as well as from the People’s

Democratic Club, after agreeing to the pledge.

But the local Bernie pledge hasn’t garnered universal praise.

Five-time Santa Cruz Mayor Mike Rotkin, who proudly supported Sanders earlier this year, wrote an email to the local committee critiquing the platform. The nearly 2,000-word letter, which was shared in a Chamber of Commerce newsletter, broke down the platform by bullet points, arguing that the pledge would be impossible to implement and that any candidate who signed on would have a difficult time getting elected in the first place.

“I respect and encourage your commitment to getting much more involved in local issues while we wait for the next presidential election to roll around, but hope that you find a way to make that commitment more meaningful and reflective >18

NEWS BRIEFS ELECTION REBOOT There’s a tradition in Santa Cruz of candidate forums that are drier than stale toast.

Typically, a moderator with a list of questions holds a piece of paper and asks something along the lines of “Why is economic development important?” Then the City Council candidates, who are seated at a long table, ramble on for an eternity before smiling and handing the mic down to the next person.

“What usually happens at a typical forum is a group of us gets together and says, ‘OK, what are the questions?’ and the questions usually end up being leading questions whether you want them to be leading or not,” says Chip, the executive director of the Downtown Association (DTA).

“The candidates tell you what they think you want to hear.”

This year, in lieu of a traditional forum, the DTA is inviting people to the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on Thursday, Sept. 22, when

council candidates will each give a nearly seven-minute presentation on their vision for downtown.

“Our big hope is that this will get the community thinking about the decisions the City Council makes and can make for downtown,” Chip says. “And what do we want to see in the next chapter? Downtown 2.0— or whatever version we’re on right now.”

The new format, a presentation style called PechaKucha that hails from Tokyo, lets candidates show 20 PowerPoint slides and speak for 20 seconds per slide. The DTA is hoping it will steer candidates away from pandering and inspire them to talk about what they really believe.

Candidate Sandy Brown, a downtown resident, is already loving the experiment. “I’m really excited to break out of the mold that we’ve been in for several decades now—those of us that have been involved in electoral politics,” says Brown, who is also a labor organizer

and assistant professor.

She pictures a Pacific Avenue that’s more inviting and accessible to tourists and locals alike, saying she would like for local governments to be more supportive of local small businesses.

The Sept. 22 PechaKucha will have a tabling area for local nonprofits and stakeholders, like the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, the Museum of Art & History, the Coastal Watershed Council and the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Chip concedes that the new setup won’t let a moderator ask tough follow-up questions at the event if someone makes up some lofty facts “It’s totally up to them.

There is a risk,” Chip says. “We can have a candidate sell us a nice vision that’s based on nothing, but who knows?”

Of course, there are other approaches for keeping candidates honest, too. The best forum I ever attended was 2012’s InsideScoop at Kuumbwa Jazz,

hosted by Cruzio, Santa Cruz Next and Civinomics. Moderators posed different rapid-fire questions for various candidates to keep everyone guessing. At a couple of points, they asked for “a show of hands” to see who supported items like public wireless Internet or a Tannery project for tech.

All night, they teased, and even mocked, candidates who gave lame answers.

Chip remembers helping host a similar forum with then-GT news editor Chris J. Magyar in 2008. “We totally had fun with it,” Chip remembers, of his preexecutive director days. “And I was kind of a color commentator.

He knew all of the issues inside and out, and I got to be a smartass.”

The forum will be at 6-9 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on Thursday, Sept. 22. Visit downtownsantacruz.com to register. Free. JACOB PIERCE

CROWD SOURCE President Barack Obama kept parts of his environmental speech at Lake Tahoe light, dropping a ‘Godfather’ reference and mocking the legislator who infamously brought a snowball to the Senate floor. PHOTO: PETE SOUZA

PEAK INTEREST <12 (It’s a trend that reaches beyond Lake Tahoe.

The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary has also benefited from federal protections and funding over the last three decades, even under Republican-controlled legislatures.)

The government spent $1.9 billion on the renewal of the popular tourist area that’s home to 290 species of animals. With more than 16,000 acres of wildlife habitat, 1,500 streamenvironment zones restored and 2,700 linear feet of shoreline added, it’s “more pristine than it has been in decades,” said Reid.

“Lake Tahoe really is one of the world’s jewels, and there has been bipartisan support to protect it,” Tim Duane, a UCSC professor of environmental studies, tells GT. Even so, Lake Tahoe’s surface water

had its hottest year ever in 2015. Even while protecting natural areas, Duane says Republican leaders have found “ideological, political, and economic reasons” for ignoring bigger environmental problems like climate change, as average worldwide temperatures appear poised to shatter previous records for the third straight year.

In his speech, the president went after climate change deniers, even dropping a snarky comment about U.S. Senator James Inhofe’s poorly received presentation of a snowball on the Senate floor last year.

More than a quarter of U.S. emissions come from transportation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Obama mentioned that for the first time ever there are now national emissions standards on commercial trucks, vans and buses.

Brown boasted that 25 percent of California’s electricity now comes from renewable energy, a number that legislators have promised to double by 2030. Raising his voice over thunderous applause, he praised car manufacturer Tesla’s billion-dollar electric battery plant in Nevada as well as the company’s electric car production in California. “Nevada and California are going to electrify and renew the world,” he said.

California passed the first state law regulating greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles in 2002, and since then has been implementing policies to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Duane says lowcarbon fuel and energy efficiency standards, along with a cap-and-trade program, have made the state a leader in renewable energy development and efficiency since the 1980s.

Duane spent the last 16 months working

on a study looking at how the country can achieve its goal of an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. That, he says, is the goal we “really need” to achieve.

In order to accomplish it, he says California needs to “ramp up investment in electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure.”

Duane calls the evolving transportation industry an “enormous business and economic opportunity.”

Looking out over the crowd and Stateline, Obama suggested conserving the natural environment is imperative not just for locals nearby, but also for “our entire ecosystem.”

“Just as the health of the land and people are tied together, just as climate and conservation are tied together,” Obama said, “we share a sacred connection with those who are going to follow us.”

of the realities of how these issues unfold in the context of our local community,” wrote Rotkin, who is out of the country and could not be reached for an interview.

Candidate Robert Singleton, who declined to take the Sanders pledge, says the platform’s beefedup inclusionary housing rules would be illegal when it comes to rentals.

Inclusionary zoning laws for rentals are currently in a murky gray area, due to a 2009 court ruling in Southern California. Singleton, who also supported Sanders this year, says he has a different plan to build denser housing, including units for Section 8 vouchers.

And Singleton, who co-founded the online forum Civinomics as a UCSC junior four years ago, says that, for better or for worse, it’s also too late for the city to try legislating how big the university grows, despite concerns people have about water usage.

“We’ve tried that in the past and it didn’t work. The city lost that lawsuit,” Singleton says, recalling a 2010 court case. “Furthermore, UCSC—despite having more students and developing more—is using less water now than they were 15 years ago because they have more strict building standards.”

Steve Pleich accepted the pledge, as “there were no deal breakers in it, as a progressive politician,” he says.

Still, he feels that as the California population grows, it’s UCSC’s duty to admit its share of students, as the city agreed to five decades ago.

“I think that everyone deserves a college education. So with 16,000 students coming in, I think we need to supply them water,” says Pleich, who was the only one of five candidates to accept the pledge and not get an endorsement from the local Sanders group.

Undeterred, Orgel-Olson believes everything on the pledge can be accomplished. It’s simply a matter of initiative.

“None of the items are impossible,” Orgel-Olson says. “We just need a City Council with the courage to stand-up to special interests and advocate for marginalized people and issues to build a more just community.”

THE SECRET LIFE OF FRETS Santa Cruz Guitar Company celebrates four decades of obsessively crafting some of the finest instruments in the world BY CAT JOHNSON

S

anta Cruz Guitar Company founder Richard Hoover exists in a depth of technicality that I find, frankly, overwhelming—and I’ve played guitar for 25 years. Where I see an unfinished fretboard, Hoover sees a piece of mathematical precision. Where I see a piece of wood, Hoover sees a potential guitar top, and taps on eight or so spots to hear the different tones the wood

creates. He can hear that the tones are in harmony with each other.

On a tour of his shop, Hoover talks to me at length about different kinds of woods, and explains that the room we’re in is “middle of the world” temperature and humidity. Those conditions, he explains, give his guitars the best chance of keeping their finely crafted integrity intact when they’re shipped all over the planet.

“Wood is a big deal for us,” he says, as he launches into the details of the polymerization and crystallization of resins that settle into the cells of the guitars. He takes pride in the fact that Santa Cruz Guitar Company, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, only sources responsibly harvested wood from family operations, and is transparent about its sources. The company also repurposes wood from a variety of

unexpected places. The wood that “found us,” as Hoover puts it, includes an old redwood dining room table, mahogany from a boat that sank off of New Orleans, and spruce from Alaska that had washed out to sea.

He holds up a piece of cedar that was found in an excavation on Orcas Island and gives it a thump with his finger.

“Lovely tone,” he says quietly. “Just like a bell. It could be 1,000 years old.”

Hoover brings me up to speed on the cellular composition of wood, sugars, moisture and dehumidification and assures me that he doesn’t expect me to remember everything. As I nod, I walk over to look at the wood against a wall. There’s a chest-high stack of gorgeous Indian rosewood that was reclaimed from a forest floor.

The idea that it will be expertly transformed into guitars is thrilling.

As we admire the rosewood, Hoover explains that there are now dehumidifying machines, but that the stabilizing process for wood used to take many years of being left outdoors. Master violin makers would acquire wood, not for themselves, but for their future students.

“Pretty noble,” Hoover says, as he runs his hand across the top piece. I get the sense that his own students would say the same about him.

THE DISASSEMBLER At age 16, Hoover wanted to know how guitars worked, so he did the

unthinkable—and yet obvious— thing, and took one apart. He then faced the task of putting it back together. His mom, who was a research librarian at the local library, encouraged him to find a book on the topic. In doing so, she unknowingly set her teen on a course that would define his life’s work.

Unable to find information about guitar-making, Hoover settled for books about violin-making and became a student in an ageold lineage of artisans. At a time when guitars were being built in factories, not woodshops, Hoover set out to become a master guitar maker. Four decades later, he has unquestioningly reached mastery, and his company, Santa Cruz Guitar Company, is widely regarded as one of the finest guitar making outfits in the world.

For Hoover, sharing his passion and depth of knowledge is a way of demonstrating the care and craftsmanship put into his guitars.

He’s supremely confident in his

There are no assembly lines, no massproduced parts, no tuned-out workers mindlessly putting in hours. Instead, the shop is full of focused craftsmen working on one aspect of one guitar with great care.

CRAFTING A REPUTATION Hoover considers his role of teacher and coach his legacy. When he started building guitars he found mentors in Santa Cruz-based hobbyist guitar makers James Patterson and Bruce McGuire who took time out of day jobs to teach Hoover the craft. He works to pay their generosity forward.

As Hoover began making his

own guitars, he found that the handcrafted approach to guitar making was slow-going—he was only making three to four guitars per year. To speed things up, he embraced an open source ethos— which the company holds to this day—and opened up his process to others who wanted to learn. Within two weeks, two locals, Bruce Ross and Will Davis, approached him about making the “best possible guitar, without compromise.”

Together, the three established the Santa Cruz Guitar Company. Ross and Davis have both moved on, but Hoover gives them a lot of credit for the company’s success.

Early on, the three would finish a guitar, put it in the car, and drive it to San Francisco to try to sell it to a shop. Hoover experimented with trying to connect with artists backstage to show them the company’s guitars, but he quickly learned that was not an approach he wanted to take.

“I did enough of it to know that I hated it,” he says, grimacing at the memory. “Nobody’s at their best with that.”

They got a break in 1980, when British guitar legend Eric Clapton saw a small advertisement for Santa Cruz guitars in Frets magazine and sent a handwritten letter requesting a custom guitar. Then, renowned bluegrass guitarist Tony Rice got onboard.

At that point, the shop was already making great-sounding guitars and people were “impressed at their sophistication and substance,” says Hoover. But when it came to buying a guitar, people would worry what their friends thought about them spending a lot of money on a Santa Cruz guitar rather

team and the guitars they build.

He guarantees musicians that his company can get the exact sound they want, and then delivers.

Big guitar factories pump out a million guitars per year. In that time, Santa Cruz Guitar Company makes around 500 guitars, 70 percent of which are custom built.

Each one is crafted with unwavering attention to detail.

The workplace we’re standing in is a woodworking shop—not a factory.

There are no assembly lines, no mass-produced parts, no tuned-out workers mindlessly putting in hours.

Instead, the shop is full of focused craftsmen—the dozen or so that I meet are all men—working on one aspect of one guitar with great care.

Behind us, the rhythmic back and forth of sandpaper being used to get the perfect feel on a guitar neck is, for a moment, the only sound in the room.

Working in the shadow of great artists, under the watchful and caring eye of Hoover, the company’s craftsmen are becoming masters.

When asked how many of them play guitar, Hoover looks surprised and says, “Well, all of them.” Then he adds with a smile, “But it’s not a prerequisite.”

than, say, a Martin.

“People didn’t have the confidence in their own ear, because we really are highly influenced by the burden of others’ expectations,” Hoover says. “But with a name like Eric Clapton or Tony Rice, not only did they know it was OK, but it was really a cool thing to tell their friends: ‘I didn’t buy a Martin, I got a Santa Cruz.’”

The family of Santa Cruz Guitar Company players is an all-star collection of master artists that includes Joan Baez, Janis Ian, Bill Frisell, David Crosby, Steve Earle, Norman and Nancy Blake, Brad Paisley, Ben Harper, Gillian Welch and dozens more.

Jazz guitar virtuoso Eric Skye, who has a signature Santa Cruz model, the OO-Syke, calls Hoover the sweetest, funniest, smartest person

he knows. When the two toured the South together—Hoover to talk about Santa Cruz guitars, and Skye to play them—Hoover freely shared his vast knowledge and pocket wisdom with anyone who wanted to talk, including random people they met along the way who hadn’t the slightest connection to guitars. As they drove from state to state, Hoover would pull the car over to educate Skye about historical landmarks, such as Civil War battle sites.

“Traveling one-on-one with him is so amazing,” Skye says. “I’ve seen him have conversations in the airport with a paint salesman he just met from Montana, explaining the difference between mahogany and Indian rosewood for the 10 millionth time, like he was just telling it for the first time.”

guitars because of the company’s integrity and the sound he’s able to get from the instruments. After much back-and-forth between Hoover and Skye about what his signature model could be, the prototype was “a hole-in-one.” Skye took one strum and said, “OK, we’re done.” He explains that, unlike a saxophone, which can be as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a car horn, acoustic guitars typically don’t have much dynamic range. Santa Cruz guitars, however, are incredibly responsive.

“I dig in, and it just has more and more and more,” Skye says.

“And I pull back and it gets sweeter and sweeter and sweeter. It’s just a whole other thing. It’s a living, breathing thing. It’s not just a guitar.”

On Sept. 24, Skye performs with Colin Hay, Don Edwards, James Nash and many others, as part of a weekend-long celebration of the Santa Cruz Guitar Company.

Festivities include concerts at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center on Friday, Sept. 23, the Rio Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 24, and a Saturday workshop at local Santa Cruz dealer Sylvan Music, a shop that Hoover refers to as “kindred spirits with similar values.” The weekend promises to be a gathering of Hoover’s friends and admirers and a showcase of the brilliance of Santa Cruz Guitars.

As my tour of the shop winds down, I’m struck by its timelessness. The woodworking tools, hanging neatly above a workstation, could be from 100 years ago. The small, curled wood shavings on a table, and larger ones on the floor below, serve as a reminder of the slow, meticulous process of turning raw wood into exquisite musical instruments.

On a cabinet is a faded poster from the 1984 Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Hoover and his team work today with the same care and craftsmanship as when the poster was new—and nearly 10 years before that. I imagine the guitars, being played all over the world, that have been built in that time.

I’m also struck by the attention I’ve received, and am aware that Hoover shares the same information and passion with anyone who expresses an interest—including other guitar makers. The shop offers a schedule of tours and other companies regularly visit to see if they can do what Santa Cruz Guitar Company does—but faster and cheaper.

Sticking to his open source ethos, Hoover is happy to show these would-be competitors around and answer their questions.

“People come in and want to find ways to scale what we’re doing,” he says, “But they can’t. There’s no secret to what we do—it’s mastery.

It’s the right training and then countless hours of practice. You can’t scale that.”

“I always try to come up with things that I would look at as a fan and go, ‘What if they did this—oh my god, that would be amazing!’” -SHEILA E.

the moment she rose out of the floor to start her set, already whirling and pounding on her stand-up drum kit.

A lifelong musical collaborator and former paramour of Prince, she has of course been asked a lot of questions about his tragic death earlier this year. But the best answer she could have given is her new song “Girl Meets Boy,” a haunting, emotional tribute set against a stark melody.

As she prepares for her first-ever “Glamorous Life” cruise—from Miami to Nassau and back over three days in February, with a line-up that includes herself and some of her famous family members, as well as Ozomatli, George Lopez and more— she’ll perform on Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival at Felton’s Roaring Camp Meadows.

The two-day festival features 10 acts, including headliner Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on Saturday, Sept. 17, and bill-topper George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic on Sunday.

Sheila E. is a Bay Area native, whose father Pete Escovedo is beloved throughout Northern California for his contributions to the Latin Jazz scene and whose uncles include singersongwriter Alejandro Escovedo and pioneering West Coast punker Javier Escovedo of the Zeros. She spoke to GT about her new single, her memories of Prince, and just how crazy she’s willing to get to entertain an audience.

Having seen you live, I can attest that you really know how to make an entrance. Are you going for maximum psychological impact on the audience?

Absolutely. I always try to come up with things that I would look at as a fan and go, “What if they did this— oh my god, that would be amazing!”

I really try to top myself, and do something different. At one point on my tour—this is crazy, but I wanted to come out on stage with that jetpack that back in the day, when

you first saw James Bond, you’d see him flying. I wanted to do that back in the ’80s! They refused to let me do it. Insurance was going to be like a million dollars. I’m always trying to do something crazy like that.

Along the same lines, during your set you do some amazing drumming tricks that are very visual. Do you plan these things?

I live in that moment, so I have no idea what I do sometimes. I never know what’s going to happen. Sometimes I know I want to do something, and I try to think of things before I get onstage.

But sometimes it just happens on the spot; I do something and it’s like “Oh my god, that worked, I gotta do that again!” When you don’t think about it and you just go, things happen.

Most drummers sit behind the set, which obscures the physicality of what they’re doing. But you really put it on display. How did you develop that style?

Growing up, my mom and dad had parties at the house almost every weekend. We just had people in our house all the time. So we were always performing. Back in the day, we were listening to a lot of Motown music and Stevie Wonder and James Brown.

We would start dancing and trying to mock what we saw on television. We loved the attention of people either laughing at us or clapping.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who looked like they were having as much fun drumming. There’s this joy that radiates from the stage when you play.

What you see is how I feel, absolutely. I have a blast. To be able to go on stage and do what I get to do, my god. I make myself laugh, and I make myself smile.

Did other instruments not inspire those same feelings? I’m curious why you gravitated to drums—a rare instrument for a singer to stick with.

I think because my dad played percussion, watching him doing

FESTIVALS jam sessions and rehearsing and practicing to LPs back in the day.

Just being around drums and percussion all the time. But I wasn’t going to be a musician, I wanted to be an athlete. My mom was an athlete, and I just loved competing.

Betting and competing—who’s going to be the best, I bet you I’ll beat you—it was always that in the house with all of us, all the time. I think it was in third grade that my dad suggested I play violin. I’m like, violin? But it was awesome, because then I started learning classical music, loved it, and got scholarships to play violin, as well. And then I was running track, and I was training to be in the Olympics at 13. I wanted to win a gold medal, I was breaking records in the Bay Area that hadn’t been broken in 20 years. I was also, at 14, on an undefeated women’s soccer team. I loved sports. And then one day at 15, I played with my dad in San Francisco, I think it was for Mayor Moscone. We played a show in front of 3,000 people. It was his band Azteca, an 18-piece band.

Playing like that, with that awesome musicianship, I’d never experienced anything like it. It brought tears to my eyes, my entire body went through every single emotion that you could have, just about. My dad was crying, we hugged and I was like, “I want to go out on tour with you.” Two weeks later, I was flying to Bogotá, Columbia with him, and that was the beginning of my career.

‘Girl Meets Boy’ is a moving tribute to him. What I like especially is how you stripped it down to simple vocals

and piano melody. You made it your own style instead of trying to recreate something that would be recognizably ‘Prince-like.’ What inspired that?

It just kind of happened like that. It started with my guitar player Michael Gabriel—we were in the studio at 1 in the morning, some of the other band members had left, and he said, “I think I have an idea.” I was like, “I think I have an idea? Let’s just put it down.” He got his phone, because he had sung something in his phone, a little melody, like “la la la.” And I was going, “Wait, hold on, let’s just press record.” So he got his guitar, and we wrote it within the hour. I was already singing the words and the lyrics. It happened very quickly. When songs are like that, I love it. They’re few and far between, those kinds of songs—at least for me. But we were still going through emotion, it was late at night.

I couldn’t even sing the rest of the song—I put down the idea of it, but I couldn’t stop crying. So I had to wait, and every time I got ready to sing it the next day, I was like “I can’t sing it, I can’t sing it, it’s just too hard.”

But by the fourth day I had to sing it, because we were going into two days of rehearsal for BET and I wanted to release it after that performance so that people could understand what we were doing, what’s been happening, what’s on my heart.

That’s interesting to hear about the competitiveness in your house growing up, because I noticed that when you were onstage with Prince, too. How much did you two push each other as performers?

We basically did that naturally, but sometimes we’d have side bets. Back in the day, we’d bet, and it wasn’t even how well you played—’cause you know, we would always try to compete—but other stuff: playing ping-pong, basketball, pool. Who was the best-dressed. We would bet each other money. I think I was the only woman in his life who would compete with him like that, at that level. That’s why we were such good friends—I stood up to him, he stood up to me.

The fiercely unconventional Wayne Hancock wants to make you holler BY CAT JOHNSON

W

ayne Hancock has no use for setlists. The gravelly voiced, toughtalking underground music legend in the making prefers to let his audiences holler out the songs they want to hear—or he just plays whatever he’s in the mood for, and his band of ace musicians joins in.

In the tradition of Western swing great Bob Wills, Hancock’s band members never know when it will be their turn to step into the spotlight for a solo. He just calls out someone’s name, mid-tune, when he wants him to do his thing.

“Nobody plays a part unless I say,” says Hancock matter-of-factly.

He tells the story of a fan who once said to him, “I really like your music, but I hate it that you introduce everybody every time.”

One of Hancock’s friends responded, “He’s not introducing them, dumbass, he’s calling a part.”

The old-school technique keeps the band members on their toes and keeps Hancock’s sound fresh and tight. The group doesn’t rehearse— they don’t need to. Instead, they keep their skills honed playing hundreds of dates a year, with each performance driven by Hancock’s be-ready-for-anything approach.

“No one can ever come to my show and say, ‘I know just what he’s going

to play,’” he says. “No you don’t. I might pull out a song that I haven’t sung in 25 years.”

When asked how he describes his sound, which straddles country, rockabilly, Western swing, roadhouse blues and big band, he admits that he struggles with that question. He grew up listening to Hank Williams, Bob Wills and Glenn Miller, and hasn’t strayed too far from those classic sounds—he just pulls them all into one.

“I’ve tried different names over the years,” he says, “Juke joint swing and this and that, and, of course, honkytonk. I tell people it’s like boogie swing. It’s dancing music.”

As with all great dancing music,

a Wayne Hancock concert is quite a scene. People party and carry on in the great juke joint tradition, yelling at the band for the songs they want to hear, or whatever else is on their mind. This is just the way Hancock likes it.

“I don’t like an audience I can’t cuss at and get a response back from,” he says with a laugh.

Beyond the good-time nature of his shows, Hancock considers his work a service. He has a tattoo that reads “Play ’til you die,” and his idea of his perfect death—which he stresses he doesn’t want to happen now—is to die backstage, by himself, after a great show. He long ago gave up on the idea of being a big star, but he understands that hard-working people need to get out and let loose among friends. He tends to lowball his fees to keep his concerts affordable.

“We do the country doctor thing,” he says. “We go out to the smaller venues—venues that a lot of people I know won’t even touch—because we like that and it’s a needed, necessary thing.”

He says he “ain’t ever going to make a millionaire living” but that he wouldn’t know what to do with that anyway.

“I think if I had a lot of money like that, it would really take a lot of fun out of life,” he says. “It would be nice to have $25,000-$30,000 in the bank, but it’s more important to make good music.”

Hancock is outspoken about his distaste for today’s pop country music.

He says he hasn’t listened to country radio in decades. His last record, Ride, unintentionally landed in the Top 40.

“I won’t do that again,” he jokes.

Hancock has a new album due out in October. It’s his 10th record in a career that spans 30 years.

His longevity is a testament to his toughness, his consistency and his loyal community of fans.

“When you’re on the road that long, people start becoming like family to you,” he says. “It’s your work, and you’re entertaining them, so you help each other out in that way. We’ve all grown up and grown old together.”

Wayne Hancock will perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/ door. 423-1338.

SUNDAY 9/18 SOBERANES FIRE FUND BENEFIT So far the Soberanes Fire has burned more than 101,000 acres on its deadly journey through the Los Padres National Forest. High temperatures, strong winds, and unpredictable humidity have caused the fire to spread, and the U.S. Forest Service to expand evacuation warnings.

To benefit those who have been affected by the fire, singers, songwriters and fans will gather in a tribute concert to Texas singer-songwriter Guy Clark—an Americana icon who has been covered by Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffett, Lyle Lovett and more. Locals Carolyn Sills, Sherry Austin, Sleepy John and many more will sing his songs for this event.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SA90

“Patient Zero,” the opening track off of local band SA90’s debut record Johnny On The Phone, could be a lost X track—emotionally intense, dissonant dark punk rock.

SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The rest of the record is solid, too, from start to finish. That may be because, although SA90 is relatively new to the local scene, most of the members are long-time punkers. Several used to be in the Sealants, and before that a whole slew of other punk rock bands.

Now in their 40s, they continue to rock out, talk shit about hippies, and live the punk rock lifestyle.

42

“I feel like I’m still doing the same things I was doing 30 years ago, how I live my life,” says guitarist Mark Hanford. “The reason punk rock has lasted as long as it has is because it never really had a goal. It had the goal of upsetting the status quo, but it didn’t have the goal of making the world a better place. Being an adult doesn’t preclude being able to play this really fun, sometimes silly, sometimes intense music.”

The one addition to SA90 who’s newer to the scene is singer Celina Bottini, who brings a lot of the emotional intensity to the music. She writes all of the lyrics, and they are a reflection of her not-so-stable life growing up.

“It really helps me to express a lot of dark periods in my life that I’ve overcome. It’s been therapeutic,” Bottini says.

“It’s like three guys that didn’t have a rough childhood picked up this girl that had a really tough childhood, and gave her an outlet to express herself,” says Hanford. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.

STONE FOXES

WEDNESDAY 9/14 COUNTRY

COUNTRY LIPS This eight-piece ensemble from Seattle is the type of country band that requires some dancing boots. They evoke an old-timey swinging country sound. It’s got swagger, style and with all those people on stage playing the songs, a lot going on: sweet harmonies, toe-tapping piano, steel pedal, violin, you name it. This is whiskey-soaked, small town honkytonk music. Does the thought of driving to a dive bar in the middle of a quiet town 100 miles away frighten you? No worries. To reiterate the reviewer’s wise words, they will bring the party to you. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

Gary Regina displays all facets of his creative pursuits in an evening featuring two distinct ensembles. Best known as key component of the Santa Cruz world music scene via his work with the bands Special Fun and Worlds Collide, Regina has spent years honing a performance practice using live looping, layering various instruments in real time to creating sumptuously detailed soundscapes. He follows a solo In the Loop set with a full band performance, focusing on saxophone with guitarist Baird Miller, keyboardist Bill Spencer, bassist Bob Wider, drummer Brian Loftus, and special guest vocalist Johnny Fabulous.

FRIDAY 9/16 BLUESY ROCK

STONE FOXES With their unique blend of thunderous Americana mixed with garage rock and a country-blues twist, the Stone Foxes have claimed the self-appointed title, “San Francisco’s rock band.”

Their swampy sound includes lyrics

that span a variety of topics, from gentrification to income inequality. That consciousness extends beyond the stage, however, and manifests in their Goodnight Moon Project: an effort to humanize the homeless through music and cinematography. The project involves a canned food drive; fans are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items at Stone Foxes concerts— you’ll get a poster in return—and the band will personally deliver the goods to local soup kitchens.

SUNDAY 9/18 BLUES

This year has dealt some heavy blows to music lovers, with the loss of David Bowie, Prince, and Bernie Worrell to name just a few. The folk music world took a huge hit with the passing of Guy Clark. One of the finest songwriters of the last 50 years, Clark balanced his stuff-that-works approach to life and music with a musical sensibility that made him one of the great singer-songwriters of his time. On Sunday, local acts, including Sharon Allen, Sherry Austin, Carolyn Sills & Gerard Egan, Michael Gaither, and KPIG’s Sleepy John Sandidge pay tribute to the legend. Proceeds benefit victims of the Sobranes fire. CJ

Jones is still fighting—she had to cancel the European leg of her summer tour, but told Rolling Stone last month that performing is as effective a therapy as any pill. “When I walk out [onstage], whatever pain is gone,” Jones says. “You forget about everything … I have cancer; cancer don’t have me.” Her powerful voice has been compared to a train—when Sharon Jones sings, you’d better get out the way.

SHAPE SHIFTER Rachel Weisz plays a woman with serial identities in Joshua Marston’s ‘Complete Unknown.’

SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Identity Crisis

48

Results fall short of ambition in ‘Complete Unknown’ BY LISA JENSEN

H

ave you ever reached a moment in your life when you just wanted to say, “Enough?” When you wished you could just walk away from everything and start a completely different life somewhere else, no strings attached?

If this notion intrigues you, welcome to Complete Unknown. This low-key character study from filmmaker Joshua Marston is built around a woman who prefers to make up her life as she goes along—one new, invented identity at a time. On the other hand, if this sounds like your vision of hell, and you like your life just the way it is, thank you, then you might not find Marston’s film quite so compelling.

The premise is fascinating, but despite heroic performances from stars Rachel Weisz and Michael Shannon, the movie never really evolves much past its initial set-up.

This is a shame, because Marston is capable of much more resonant work. An American filmmaker with multicultural sensibilities, he’s best known for the harrowing but engrossing Maria Full of Grace.

His most recent feature, the deeply moving The Forgiveness of Blood, about modern Albanian teenagers paying the price for their elders’ blood feuds, was one of my favorite films of 2011— it was never released in Santa Cruz, but do yourself a favor and catch up with it any way you can.

Complete Unknown revolves around Alice (Weisz), a researcher at a New York City bio lab, who starts eating at the lunchroom of the ag administration corporation across the street. There, she chats up Clyde (Michael Chernus), an administrator who eventually invites her to a birthday party for his friend and colleague, Tom (Shannon). Tom’s a workaholic whose Iranian wife, Ramina (Azita Ghanizada), an aspiring jewelry-maker, has just been accepted into a prestigious graduate program across the continent in San Diego.

At the party, Alice dazzles everyone with her tales of growing up in the wilds of Tasmania with her botanist parents. But Tom is certain he

recognizes her as a woman named Jenny he had an affair with 15 years earlier who suddenly disappeared from his life. She finally admits it, even though there’s none of the chemistry between them we might expect from people who had been as ardent lovers as Tom seems to think they were.

As the party progresses from Tom and Ramina’s apartment to a dance club to the remote exurban pond where Alice studies frog songs, Tom is drawn into her reckless life of serial identities. In the film’s best sequence, they encounter a bubbly mensch (Kathy Bates), out walking her dog, who trips and sprains her foot. They help her back to her apartment, claiming to be surgeons, dispensing medical advice to the woman and her Haitian husband (Danny Glover), and we can see how thrilled Tom is to make up a completely new identity for himself on the spot.

It’s unfortunate that Marston begins with an opening montage showing Alice/Jenny in some of her various personae—ER trauma nurse; assistant to a Chinese stage magician. It might have been more interesting if her past was revealed in tantalizing, if unlikely bits, and the audience got to play along, trying to decide if any of it was true.

But this way, we already know more than the party guests quizzing her, and we’re impatient to get on with it.

Which leads to the main problem: once the premise is finally established, and the viewer has glimpsed the possibilities, as well as the potential drawbacks, of living an untethered life, the movie ends.

We want to know more about how her lifestyle impacts Alice, and how she feels about it. We want to better understand the kind of pull Alice’s example exerts on Tom at this crossroads in his own life.

(We feel his frustration when he disparages his job as sending emails “suggesting guidelines.”)

But Marston retreats, just when it seems like the real story is about to begin. He sets us up for a complex drama, but only delivers a prologue.

Secondly, this is not Tarzan.

Indulging in Marini’s Westside location, and a solution for too many cherry tomatoes BY CHRISTINA WATERS

M

arini’s has long been a delicious fixture on the Santa Cruz Wharf, offering golly-gee peeks at how saltwater taffy is mixed and stretched, pulled and cut into those bite-sized, chewy, melting morsels of seaside memories. How long?

Well, 101 years long, which means my grandparents and parents did some time behind these luscious, traditional candies, all of which are manifestations of founder Victor A. Marini’s original recipe. And of course, there’s Marini’s downtown, too. And for about a year now, there’s been a jewel box Marini’s tucked into the

Westside Ingalls Street complex, between wineries, New Leaf, and the Bonny Doon Vineyard winemaking headquarters. When I was a kid, living far away from Santa Cruz, I always asked my cousins to send me a box of saltwater taffy for special occasions. I adored those watercolor pastel hues, the striped peppermints, the earthy peanut butter flavors. Today Marini’s is famous for a lot more than just very chewy salt water taffy. Chocolate sea salt caramels are one of the top sellers at the Westside store, where every day except Tuesday you can watch the candy-makers working their magic. Turtles! Chocolate, nuts,

and caramel—divine. Irresistible caramel apples, homemade fudge and gazillions of truffles line the gleaming glass display cases. What I hadn’t realized was that Marini’s has another wall of colorful little candies from all over (the wall opposite the enormously popular ice cream bins).

The kids can take their little Marini’s bags and fill them with whatever candies appeal to them most—licorice, gummies, house-made caramel corn, lollipops. Adults may be content with beer and wine-tasting around the corner. But for the young ones, there’s ice cream cones and fudge, plus the miniature revolving Ferris

Longtime foodies Ashley and Adam Bernardi will be taking over the former Stockton Bridge Grille, following the retirement of veteran Capitola restaurateur Lee Walters.

The Bernardis, who plan to specialize in farm-to-table California cuisine, have brought in chef Anthony Kresge (Mustards Grill and Miramonte), to take over the kitchen at their new restaurant Sotola Bar & Grill. Look for a mid-October opening of Sotola.

And by now you know that Brad Briske (Gabriella, La Balena, Main St. Garden Cafe) is returning to the Santa Cruz area to the helm of his own restaurant. Briske will be back at the landmark Main Street Garden and Cafe site (3110 N. Main St., Soquel), creating handmade items showcasing fresh produce from the restaurant’s garden. Rumor has it there will be special tasting menus featuring Briske’s adventurous cookery. Anticipate an October opening, with lunch and dinner offerings Tuesday through Saturday.

SHEPHERD THOSE TOMATOES Up to your eyeballs in cherry tomatoes? In her latest newsletter, seed queen Renee Shepherd tempts me to try drying cherry tomatoes (of which you doubtless have many this time of year). Slice them in half, put on oven racks at very low temperature, 140-160 degrees, (or in a food dehydrator), for as many hours as it takes to achieve a leathery texture.

Shepherd says to store them in jars or ziplock bags in the refrigerator. Eat them as snacks all year ’round, or— this sounds good—rehydrate them in warm water, wine, or broth for about 10 minutes until they plump back up.

Then you can pop them into pastas or salads or whatever you want. Cool, huh? reneesgarden.com.

t takes an incredible amount of passion, skill and time to create great barbecue. I was reminded of this as Austin Towne, the owner of Gordo Gustavo’s BBQ, described his lengthy process of preparing hunks of pork shoulder, racks of ribs, and tri-tips for his stand at local farmers markets. He begins four days ahead of time with between eight and 40 hours of brining in chilis, salt and spices, then applies a liberal coating of his signature dry rub, followed by hours of slow smoking over oak and plum wood.

The result is some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a long time— pulled pork so tender it seems to melt in your mouth, tri-tip fully infused with smoke, and super flavorful Texas-style ribs, a prized pink smoke ring lying beneath the dark, spicy bark.

If that wasn’t enough to set it apart, even after that lengthy preparation the sandwiches and tacos feel so fresh. Towne and his sous Tom Ferdinand, both restaurant industry vets, are passionate about the details, including the vegetables and sauces. Their sandwich buns are buttered on the inside before they’re toasted on the grill side by side with

their fillings, and the purple cabbage slaw that accompanies several dishes is crunchy and just creamy enough, with a hidden kick of spice. Their barbecue sauce is made with smoked chipotles for a sweet heat that rises slowly—nothing crazy, just enough to wake up your palate. At the Westside morning market on Saturdays, they’ll top their pulled pork with lightly dressed arugula and a fried egg. The tri-tip tacos may come with kimchi one week, and crumbly Cotija cheese and chili verde the next.

Try anything with a few splashes of homemade peach hot sauce, if they have it on hand, for even more layers of sweet and heat.

Unsurprisingly, Gustavo’s frequently sells out, which Towne says is part of his commitment to being efficient with waste. “I’d rather sell out than make so much that there’s extra. From the wood that I use to the compostable utensils, at the end of the markets we’re throwing away next to nothing,” says Towne.

SAN BENITO SOURCED Find this 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon at New Leaf markets.

River Run Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon from 2012 is ideal for pairings BY JOSIE COWDEN

F

ood-friendly and approachable, this value-priced Cab from River Run Vintners would pair equally well with a good burger, ribs, hanger steak, salad or pork tenderloin.

It’s rife with juicy fruit, especially black currant, blueberries and black plums. Aromas of toast, coffee and tobacco add a marvelous nose to this gorgeous 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, with grapes from Schaaphok Vineyard in San Benito County—available at New Leaf for $19.99.

It’s all thanks to owner and winemaker J.P. Pawloski that this Cab is so drinkable. Pawloski is passionate about winemaking and it shows in every mouthful of his well-made wines. This familyoperated winery has gradually built up a fine reputation.

Pawloski actually taught river rafting and worked as a river raft guide in Northern California before he and his wife came across their present property and decided to settle down. Amazingly, the property included an old winery named River Run—a definite “sign,” I would say, for a river rafter. Although the winery came with challengers—“the termites were taking care of it,” says Pawloski—by 1982 it was up and running and Pawloski has been in the wine business ever since.

River Run is open for Passport events and an open house a couple of times a year. Check their website for info. River Run Vintners, 65 Rogge Lane, Watsonville, 726-3112. riverrunwine.com.

WE OLIVE & WINE BAR

A new olive oil and wine bar has opened in Los Gatos. I had a great time with some friends trying a complimentary tasting of olive oil and vinegar. “Wine and olive oil is a natural centuries-old pairing,” says We Olive, as they match boutique California wines with gourmet food such as artisan cheeses and salamis, tapenades and pestos. They also carry some hefty craft beers. Also try the Chocolate Mousse with Blood Orange Olive Oil ($5). We Olive is well worth a stop.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CALLING ALL COOPERATORS

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 14, 2016 We are in an interesting week again, between two eclipses—a full moon lunar eclipse (moon’s hidden) Friday, and continuing Mercury retrograde turning direct (late night next Wednesday.) The recent Saturn/Neptune meant many veils (hindering us from seeing, recognizing, knowing) are continuing to drop. When veils (beliefs, illusions) drop and eclipses happen, we feel naked, vulnerable.

Impatient with the old, we want to move forward.

However, with retro Mercury nothing moves forward. We have at present seven retrogrades (four planets, three asteroids) in the sky. And Virgo Sun— esoterically known as the “cave of the heart.”

So many things are in shadow this week. The pressure from work and world strain may be overwhelming us. As the world breaks down in order to reconstruct, the heavens are creating new patterns and rhythms for our world.

Disciples are being called to take steps toward this reconstruction, eliminating nonessentials, practicing discrimination and conforming to the

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 It would be good to study the history of romance and the purpose of love. Also, the unfoldment of consciousness (our true history) on Earth—how love happens, why, and our behaviors in relationships when conscious (awake, aware and Soul directed). Identifying love within yourself, the expression of your true self with others.

Something in appearance in your daily life disappears.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You create new environments that prepare humanity’s future.

You tell us we must turn our attention to different and dynamic ways of growing food (in biodynamic soils). Humanity’s daily life is changing quickly, being reconstructed in ways unknown.

You tell us to invest in land, put 15 percent of our money in silver and gold. These new ideas needed for humanity’s wellbeing we will follow, safeguarding them carefully and secretly.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Dualities are good, for they produce self-awareness. There’s a duality perhaps in some Geminis who don’t know if they are creative. They live with an “unthought known.” Your creativity is this—blending opposing forces into a synthesis.

Being Mercury, the messenger. Speaking with Right Human Relations and from your heart so everyone learns from you.

At times you hide under a shell like a tortoise or a scarab, a sacred creature signifying rebirth. There’s a turtle that comes to the door of a house and waits patiently for the door to open.

He enters the house and rests awhile in the cool dark shadowy corners. He’s offered a fresh banana. After a while he retraces his steps, waiting patiently for the door to open. Refreshed (and grateful), he re-enters the world. You are the turtle.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s important for you to be seen and heard, understood, praised, recognized, applauded and known. Sometimes you’re called a narcissist, mirror gazer, one focused on self alone.

Some of us, however, know the truth—that you must do these things, must discover, look at and talk about yourself. You’re learning how to rule, how to lead and how to love, stumbling along, falling, most of the time, just like everyone else.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Virgos carry a secret reality, a hidden purity they show no one.

Virgo’s light is always veiled … being nurtured within. Virgos realize that everyone carries a different light (and darkness) and each person is aspiring to be a light for the world, a bearer of light of great value and tenderness. We all aspire to this. We prepare together for that light at winter solstice.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 You’re developing a radially new sense of self. You

cannot be controlled by others. Libra’s freedom is most important, yet they must have companionship. Libra asks others to walk with them in life. Relationships define Libras. Juxtaposing self to the “other,” a Libran sense of self emerges. Human contact releases love hidden in Libra. We must let them be, allow them to sort out realities and achieve independence. Then their love is exalted.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Scorpio is known for depth of feeling, being alone and isolated (at times). To proceed on the evolutionary (back to spirit) path, Scorpios must develop the higher mind (education, then teaching), distributing God’s Plan to the world. Scorpios must withstand the heat of the Sun on the mountaintop, collect the light and distribute it on Earth.

You’re to reveal through this light, all the mysteries you’ve encountered. In this life preparing for the next.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 The life of a Sag reveals so many influences at work simultaneously along with offering the personality to the Soul. To fuse and balance your personality with the Soul (ending confusion), and to have a better sense of spiritual direction, recite the Soul invocation daily (ceaselessly): “I am the Soul. I am Light Divine. I am Love. I am Will. I am Fixed Design.” You realize you’re not your body, emotions, or lower mind. So, what are you?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Whenever there’s conflict, something’s being learned; harmony is being disrupted so a higher harmony can emerge. Sometimes there’s a conflict between personal aspirations and the needs of others. You reorient your needs so that the “little ones” are nurtured. This is Soul work. You’re a mentor for others to transform and stand poised in grace. At other times you take your own path up the mountain, planting trees along the way.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You’re in a time of pause, an interlude, considering your next life steps and creative endeavors. It’s not a time for excessive outer actions. It’s a time of rest, reflection and relaxation of your energies. As you see both sides of all issues, achieve a position of poise and balance. Often standing on the “razor’s edge,” you lead the way down the mountain to safety. Read this over and over.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 A love-filled state will be the consequence of Jupiter in Libra. Your abilities and devotion will see you through any necessary tasks, tests, difficulties, disharmony and/or strife. You are entering into a new level of your spiritual work. Greet the sunrise each day. It will vivify you. And the sunset, too. The angels and all of nature are with you during these holy times. Courage is offered.

new emerging patterns required for world reconstruction. We are to begin preparing ourselves for increased future activity in bringing forth the new culture and civilization.

To know how to move forward we must ask, “What is the need of humanity at this time?” And recognize there are three aspects needed to birth the new world.

1. Healing. Compassionate lovers of humanity can heal. 2. Clarification. Humanity is bewildered and we must help it through clear education and communication. 3.

New Forms (intelligently discarding old forms). Reorganization and rebuilding require dedication, insight, discernment and discrimination. Old patched-up forms no longer suffice. This latter means building a new shape of community, a template for the new culture and civilization. So … Calling all willing, loving and intelligent cooperators so that we may take Right Action together.

MIKE GAY, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Owner/auto sales representative, The Argus Company Hobbies: Guitar, cooking, gardening What do you like to cook? I tend to keep it simple and healthy, and I shop here almost daily. I like Shopper’s already-cooked smoked pork chops — great with asparagus. Then there are the sausages, the occasional chicken, and pasta. Shopper’s has a really good pasta variety… fresh and dry. I make these special quesadillas with corn tortillas, smoked turkey, avocados, heirloom tomatoes — so good, like candy! — mushrooms, Munster cheese and a dash of lime. Shopper’s has a ton of fresh cheese choices. The over-all quality of product is why I shop here.

Such as? I don’t eat a lot of junk so I’m particular about what I buy and where I buy my food. Some days I’ll eat mostly veggies. With Shopper’s organic produce — my preference — I can depend on it being fresh. That’s important to me. Everything they carry is quality.

Shopper’s has everything that I need so I don’t shop at the big box or chain stores. I own a small business so I would rather put my money back into the community by shopping local. I also know that Jim (Beauregard) is highly vested in Santa Cruz, including midtown. And it’s fun shopping here.

How so? The checkers are fantastic! They’re always willing to put up with me joking around.

They ask about your life and how things are going that day. That’s the local community personal touch that you don’t get at other places. I’m not a big wine drinker but I know Shopper’s has a huge wine department. So when I’m bringing a bottle to a party or dinner, it’s great that they have people who can help me with my selection. I do like beer, and Shopper’s carries all of my favorites. They all go well with pistachios. Shopper’s has the freshest. I’m addicted to them!
