OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Fashion never slows down, and neither does FashionART. In order to keep its reputation as the most fashionforward event not only in the local scene but also possibly in all of Northern California, its organizers have to constantly keep pushing the boundary between wearable and art. That’s what makes it so much fun for us to cover every year, and usually we try to provide an overview of what kind of craziness to expect in the upcoming show.

In this week’s cover story, however, Maria Grusauskas takes a different approach, focusing on a more in-depth study of one of the fashion minds behind this year’s event, FashionART’s

new design coordinator Christina Morgan Cree. Though she’s been involved with FashionART almost since it started, this is her first year in this role, and her ascent is part of that constant drive to mix, expand and push that has made the event a huge success. Reading about her background in fashion—how she’s had both an insider’s and outsider’s view of design throughout her life made me think about the line that FashionART walks between loving embrace of the industry’s artistic ideals and witty satirizing of them. (And I don’t mean just the involvement of the Great Morgani—has he ever done anything that wasn’t tongue-in-cheek?) Santa Cruz loves to reject trends and support the outlier, which is why FashionART has thrived here. Check out some pics from last year and read the story to find out why this 11th FashionART could be the best yet.

QUITTING TIME

4

There was a recent blurb about the City of Santa Cruz contemplating putting the Warriors Arena at the Depot Park location (GT, July 13). This is ludicrous. There is no parking in the vicinity, and the streets get clogged on a normal weekend. On busy summer weekends, there are even parked cars in the “Flats” so people there can’t get out of their driveways or their cars parked on the streets.

The soccer folks tried for years to get a field. They finally have one.

The city needs to wake up to the fact that there is no area between Swift Street and Capitola or from Mission Street to Beach Street in which to build anything! It’s time for a reality check and time to stop!

ROWENA FULK | SANTA CRUZ

REAL PLAN I run a locally owned business and lose valuable time sitting in traffic. My clients, my business, our local economy and the environment would be better off if small businesses like mine were not trapped in a continuously congested highway with no end in sight. The back roads and

neighborhoods are not much better.

Besides, cutting through them just to avoid the highway is endangering children and cyclists. I plan to vote for Measure D because it actually has a real plan to address these issues.

JUSTIN WHITE, CEO, K&D LANDSCAPING INC. | WATSONVILLE

BUSES NOT ENOUGH I will be voting no on the transportation sales tax measure this November because it provides $100 million for Highway 1 widening. Studies have consistently shown that adding more lanes to a highway does not result in long-term congestion relief.

To decrease travel times, the number of cars on the highway must be reduced.

Coming to the decision to oppose the measure was very difficult for me because a percentage of the tax money will fund the METRO. However, the amount of money to be allocated to the METRO will be insufficient to accomplish a goal of providing innovative plans needed to increase bus ridership and decrease cars on the highway.

When I moved to California a year ago, I was drawn to the City of Santa Cruz because of its natural beauty, walkability

Pardoned. What he did is not actually bad for America.

MAYA GUPTA SANTA CRUZ | LIBRARY ASSISTANT

Pardon him. He is someone who is tearing down the wall that has been created between the people and the government.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 21 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Even if you are a wild-eyed adventure-seeker with extremist views and melodramatic yearnings, you’ll benefit from taking a moderate approach to life in the coming weeks. In fact, you’re most likely to attract the help and inspiration you need if you adopt the strategy used by Goldilocks in the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”: neither excessive nor underdone, neither extravagant nor restrained, neither bawdy, loud, and in-your-face nor demure, quiet, and passive—but rather just right.

Here’s my translation of a passage from the ancient Gospel of Thomas, a gnostic text about the teachings of Jesus: “If you do not awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will damage you. If you do awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will heal you.” Whether you actually awaken and develop those talents or not depends on two things: your ability to identify them clearly and your determination to bring them to life with the graceful force of your willpower. I call this to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a highly favorable time to expedite the ripening of your talents. And it all starts NOW.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Some of my readers love me but also hate me. They are drawn to my horoscopes in the hope that I will help relieve them of their habitual pain, but then get mad at me when I do just that. In retrospect, they feel lost without the familiar companionship of their habitual pain. It had been a centerpiece of their identity, a source of stability, and when it’s gone, they don’t know who they are any more. Are you like these people, Taurus? If so, you might want to avoid my horoscopes for a while. I will be engaged in a subtle crusade to dissolve your angst and agitation. And it all starts now with this magic spell: Your wound is a blessing. Discover why.

GEMINI May21–June20 In my dream last night, bad guys wearing white hats constrained you in a canvas straitjacket, then further wrapped you up with heavy steel chain secured by three padlocks. They drove you to a weedy field behind an abandoned warehouse and left you there in the pitch dark. But you were indomitable. By dawn, you had miraculously wriggled your way out of your confinement. Then you walked back home, free and undaunted. Here’s my interpretation of the dream: You now have special skills as an escape artist. No cage can hold you. No riddle can stump you. No tangle can confuse you. (P.S.: For best results, trust yourself even more than you usually do.)

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 The next four weeks will be a favorable time to come all the way home. Here are nine prompts for how to accomplish that: 1. Nourish your roots. 2. Strengthen your foundations. 3. Meditate about where you truly belong. 4.

Upgrade the way you attend to your self-care. 5. Honor your living traditions. 6. Make a pilgrimage to the land where your ancestors lived. 7. Deepen your intimacy with the earth. 8. Be ingenious about expressing your tenderness. 9. Reinvigorate your commitment to the influences that nurture and support you.

What tools will work best for the tasks you’ll be invited to perform in the coming weeks? A sledgehammer or tweezers? Pruning shears or a sewing machine? A monkey wrench or a screwdriver? Here’s my guess: Always have your entire toolbox on hand. You may need to change tools in mid-task—or even use several tools for the same task. I can envision at least one situation that would benefit from you alternating between a sledgehammer and tweezers.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I’m confident that I will never again need to moonlight as a janitor or dishwasher in order to pay my bills.

My gig as a horoscope columnist provides me with enough money to eat well, so it’s no longer necessary to shoplift bread or scavenge for dented cans of beets in grocery store dumpsters. What accounts for my growing financial luck? I mean besides the fact that I have been steadily improving my skills as an oracle and writer? I suspect it may in part have to do with my determination to cultivate generosity. As I’ve become better at expressing compassion and bestowing blessings, money has flowed to me in greater abundance.

Would this strategy work for you? The coming weeks and months will be a good time to experiment.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You can’t completely eliminate unhelpful influences and trivial saboteurs and debilitating distractions from your life. But you’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you have more power than usual to diminish their effects. To get started in this gritty yet lofty endeavor, try this: Decrease your connection with anything that tends to demean your spirit, shrink your lust for life, limit your freedom, ignore your soul, compromise your integrity, dishonor your reverence, inhibit your self-expressiveness, or alienate you from what you love.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Work too much and push yourself too hard, Sagittarius.

Eat corn chips for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and French fries for dinner—every day, if possible. And please, please, please, get no more than four hours’ sleep per night. If you have any extra time, do arduous favors for friends and intensify your workout routine. JUST KIDDING! Don’t you dare heed any of that ridiculous advice. In fact, I suggest you do just the opposite. Dream up brilliant excuses not to work too much or push too hard. Treat yourself to the finest meals and best sleep ever. Take your mastery of the art of relaxation to new heights. Right now, the most effective way to serve your long-term dreams is by having as much fun, joy, and release as possible.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I propose that you and I make a deal. Here’s how it would work: For the next three weeks, I will say three prayers for you every day. I will ask God, Fate, and Life to send you more of the recognition and appreciation you deserve. I will coax and convince them to give you rich experiences of being seen for who you really are.

Now here’s what I ask of you in return: You will rigorously resolve to act on your core beliefs, express your noblest desires, and say only what you truly mean. You will be alert for those times when you start to stray from the path with heart, and you will immediately get yourself back on that path. You will be yourself three times stronger and clearer than you have ever been before.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 If you loosen yourself up by drinking an alcoholic beverage, don’t drive a forklift or ride a unicycle. If you have a hunch that your luck at gambling is peaking, don’t buy lottery tickets or play the slot machines. If you’re drawn to explore the frontiers of intimacy, be armed with the ancient Latin maxim, Primum non nocere, or “First, do no harm.” And if you really do believe it would be fun to play with fire, bring a fire extinguisher with you. In presenting this cautionary advice, I’m not saying that you should never push the limits or bend the rules. But I want to be sure that as you dare to experiment, you remain savvy and ethical and responsible.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 I invite you to explore the healing power of sex. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to do so. You are also likely to generate good fortune for yourself if you try to fix any aspect of your erotic life that feels wounded or awkward. For best results, suspend all your theories about the way physical intimacy should work in your life. Adopting a beginner’s mind could lead you to subtly spectacular breakthroughs. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to take full advantage of this big opening.)

and bus service. I had already decided to no longer own a car in order to limit my carbon footprint. Aggressive wildfires in California and deadly flooding in Louisiana indicate how climate change is already affecting American lives and local economies. Climate chaos will only become worse as greenhouse gases continue to be spewed into the atmosphere. Without a car, I quickly discovered that riding the bus was a positive experience and that METRO drivers were courteous and helpful. I

continue to be impressed by passengers who thank the driver when leaving the bus at their destination. But many more people need to experience bus travel if traffic congestion is to be alleviated and our collective carbon footprint decreased.

I hope a new tax measure to fund road repairs and only 21st century sustainable transportation projects, like the METRO, will be presented to the public in a couple of years.

Santa Cruz-based start-up Kuuza Here connects locals to African goods, identity and pride BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

W

hen Wanjiku Muhire wants to get her favorite kind of chai tea, she has to fly

to Kenya.

“For years I grew up watching my mom having to coordinate relatives and flights to bring back tea from Kenya, through whoever was traveling—they’d have to bring back a whole suitcase of tea for everybody.

What day and age are we living in that we have to personally import

day-to-day essentials that belong in the pantry?” says Muhire, chuckling.

“No Italian comes to the U.S. and struggles to find Italian food. It’s such a foreign concept to a lot of Africans to be able to access their culture in the same immediate ways.”

That’s why Muhire, 24, joined with a handful of other recent UCSC graduates and current students to create a business that would meet that need: a black-owned online marketplace for all things African.

Kuuza Here—a name that roughly translates to “sell here” in Swahili—launched on Aug. 21. The site offers modern and traditional African fashions, as well as other accessories, like home decor items.

It’s quickly adding sellers, and each item listed has information on where it came from, who made it, and its tie to Africa—like the light blue dashiki from Lola’s African Apparel which is traditional West African fashion for men. >14

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 21-27, 2016

Margaret Hammond, a Capitola local, feels a heaviness of heart when thinking of her husband Lloyd, a retired teacher, principal and coach who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2006. He died in 2012 from respiratory failure due to end-stage dementia.

With grief, Hammond recalls the day the car was missing, and Lloyd hadn’t returned by dark. As she got ready to call the police, he pulled into the carport.

“He had been in downtown Santa Cruz, purchased something for me, and then had fallen. He arrived back home with a bag of broken glass,” she remembers, adding that she had to restrict his driving after that.

“There were many close calls. Another time we were downtown, and while he went into the bookstore, I waited for him in front. When he didn’t return, I asked a bicycle policeman for help, and we spotted him waiting at a bus stop. He had gone out the back door.”

She knows that she was fortunate, she adds, to have help from family so that she could attend evening support groups at the local Alzheimer’s Association. There were times, too, when she felt like just giving up, but the caring staff showed her that she was not alone, she says. “Thinking about this today makes me realize the importance of the Alzheimer’s Association’s many services.

It’s all there,” she says of the group, which is hosting its big annual event this weekend.

The 25th annual Santa Cruz Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Sept. 24 will take participants along the beach at Seascape Beach Resort and nearby park. Bagpipers will lead the walk, as is tradition at the Aptos event, with Taiko drummers performing from the beach. More than 500 area residents participated last year, raising $197,330. This amount contributed to the $77 million raised nationwide for care, support and research efforts for those impacted by the disease.

Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and it’s the only cause of death among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.

Currently more than 500,000 people die from Alzheimer’s disease each year, translating to 57 deaths every hour.

up before the walking at 10 a.m., which includes a 3-mile trail and a shorter option.

“The longer walk is partially on the beach, often including the sight of dolphins at the halfway point,” says Dale Thielges, site director of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Santa Cruz office. “The 1.5-mile walk is around and through Seascape Resort.” If those are

too challenging, the association invites people to bring family and friends, and stay up on the bluff where they can learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment, and the many other support programs.

Participants who raise $100 receive a T-shirt. Following the walk, a complimentary lunch will be served, compliments of Seascape Beach Resort.

Michele Boudreau, communications director of the Northern California and Northern Nevada Alzheimer’s Association, is asking the public to request Congress continue its fight against Alzheimer’s by increasing research funding with an additional $400 million in 2017.

“While Congress has recently provided additional funding for Alzheimer’s research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the commitment continues to fall far short of the need,” Boudreau says. “For every $100 that the NIH spends on Alzheimer’s research, Medicare and Medicaid spend $16,000 caring for those with the disease.”

On Thursday, Sept. 15, UCSC posted an inspiring—if slightly campy—video on its Facebook page asking the question, “What would Rachel Carson do?”

Carson, perhaps the most important environmentalist of the 20th century, authored the book Silent Spring, which spurred the banning of pesticide DDT, among other changes.

She’s also the namesake of the newly titled Carson College, formerly College Eight, which was founded in 1972. It is the first residential college—of which there are currently 10—to be named after a woman.

“It’s long overdue, right?” asks Elida Erickson, UCSC’s

sustainability director. She’s based at Carson College, which has an environmental focus.

Erickson concedes that the last time any residential college on campus was named was 44 years ago—a very different time. Still, she calls the naming “a milestone,” arguing that the environmental movement and other academic worlds need to grow more inclusive, better bridging the gaps with women and people of color, and that this name emblemizes that shift.

Many are hopeful that the moniker will create some momentum to rebrand Colleges Nine and Ten, as well.

To make the new name change possible, Carson College Provost Ronnie

Lipschutz helped convince the philanthropists to donate a $7 million package in Carson’s name. Most of the money came in an endowment from Alec and Claudia Webster.

Lipschutz has since heard that when the environmentally themed college had been kicking around possible names in the early ’70s Carson’s came up—a delightful tidbit that rings true for him the more he thinks about it.

“It sure sounds good,” he says.

LATER, HATER A reggae star who has called for gays to be killed recently got booked to play the Catalyst in downtown Santa Cruz, igniting controversy in Santa Cruz’s queer community.

Sizzla, a proudly anti-LGBTQ artist from Jamaica, was on the calendar for Monday, Sept.

26, performing what critics have called his trademark “murder music.” Such hateful transgressions are at least as bad as those from Michelle Shocked, who had her Moe’s Alley show canceled three years ago after going on a bizarre “God hates fags” rant.

But the Catalyst heard about the controversy, and Thomas Cussins, who manages bookings for the club, says the Catalyst has canceled the Sizzla show due to community concerns.

Cussins adds via email, “While we do support freedom of speech, we do not support hate speech.” JACOB PIERCE

SELLER’S MARKET <11 For Muhire, savoring the taste of a regional beer (for her, that’s Kenya’s Tusker) keeps the comfortable feeling of home alive even in a new environment, as does the ability to buy a traditional item of clothing.

Muhire, Kuuza’s CEO, was born in the Bay Area to East African parents, but her Kenyan mother, Ugandan father, brother and sister all returned to Nairobi, Kenya, when Muhire was a freshman at UCSC. Her craving for tea sparked the idea for Kuuza Here, although she is still working to bring that particular item onboard.

The goal is to eventually make the site a one-stop shop for all

things African—whether it’s spices, food, tea or clothing—that people can’t easily find in stores here, says Jordan McClanahan, the company’s director of Marketing and Operations. There’s a gaping need for such a platform, says McClanahan, 23, because most websites that are geared toward African products typically sell only women’s fashion. And others can simply be overwhelming.

“We said ‘Let’s create a platform that’s not just like Etsy, where you have a million different things,’” says Muhire, noting that in Etsy’s African category, it can be difficult to stand out. “Let’s put you on a site that’s exclusively geared to

what you’re selling.”

Kuuza Here is for those who want to maintain a connection to the continent, but it also has the potential for larger impact, says Eron Lake, Kuuza’s chief technological officer, who designed the website.

“At the root of it is economic empowerment of the black community,” says Lake, 20. “One of the things that has the largest effect on the African American community has always been poverty and economic restriction.”

Highlighting black-made goods from black-owned businesses is a step toward that sense of empowerment, Lake says, and with it he wants the site to provide an

opportunity for all black people to partake in a shared heritage.

He notes that Americans originally from Europe, Asia and the Middle East often have at least an idea of what countries their lineage originates from and how to trace it. Countless African Americans, though, can’t readily access that kinship because their families are part of the enormous diaspora forced centuries ago by the Atlantic slave trade.

When enslaved people were bought and sold, buyers would receive a bill of sale which included physical characteristics like age, height, weight, musculature, and sometimes where the >17

sale took place—but not who came from where. They sometimes included first names and, rarely, surnames that often belonged to former masters, but there was no uniform system in place, so when sales broke up families it became virtually impossible to trace bloodlines.

“As black people, you grow up and you don’t feel a connection to any kind of heritage. A lot of times it’s like, ‘Well I’m black, so I know I came from somewhere in Africa, but [I have] no real clue,’” says Lake.

“There’s a notion for young black people trying to connect to their roots, and a need to reconnect with the continent, with Africa.”

One thing that the 45.7 million people of African descent in the United States have in common, Lake says, is that they can have a relationship with the entire continent.

“Even though I don’t know where [I’m from in Africa] specifically, I can wear clothes from East Africa, South Africa, West Africa—they’re completely different styles, but I feel a connection because I know there’s a similar struggle that everyone went through,” says Lake. “I can do all I want to do to support my culture but there’s nothing like the feeling of wearing the clothes, eating the food, or just partaking in the culture directly. It’s a feeling of really getting in touch with your roots and showing respect.”

And for those without an ancestral link to the continent, modern or otherwise, they can of course still wear the clothes and buy the traditional items from Kuuza Here.

It’s all about respecting the item, the history, and the culture, says Lake.

“Everyone can partake in empowering the black community,” he says. “Everyone should appreciate Africa, not just black people.”

The Kuuza team wants shoppers to experience the site’s tagline, “Shop like you traveled,” says Muhire.

“We want people to embrace the site in a way that allows you to know if you spend a dollar on this site the money is going back to the continent to support someone who is working to support themselves,” says Muhire. “It’s going to impact them in a real way.”

etter than Burning Man”—that’s how “Sleepy” John Sandidge recently described FashionART Santa Cruz on KZSC. Desert dust and nudity aside, the runway show certainly rivals—and often surpasses—scenes from the playa, in terms of its daring creativity, and wellthought-out, painstakingly crafted designs.

Now in its 11th year, FashionART, which takes place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, has established itself as a permanent fixture of Santa Cruz culture—a place where emerging models, artists and local legends like the Great Morgani emote, evolve, and, in many cases, form the foundation of their careers.

“The months leading up to FashionART are like a crescendo of excitement,” says founder Angelo Grova. The event, which packs the 1,800-capacity Civic Auditorium, is now one of the biggest events in town.

“And it gets bigger and bigger every year,” says Grova.

GT spoke with Christina Morgan Cree, this year’s new design coordinator, who, at 41, returned to design work after retiring from her craft for almost a decade—and whose soda-can-ring gown not only dazzled the FashionART audience of 2011, but was also selected

by French haute couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier in a contest to be part of a gala at the de Young museum in San Francisco. Since then, Cree hasn’t looked back; she’s established her own line (see christinamorgancree.com), and has participated in countless runway shows—including FashionART almost every year, and joins this year’s installment with both a wearable art piece and a design line.

How did you get into the world of fashion design?

CHRISTINA MORGAN CREE: Well, I started when I was probably two or three. As soon as I could draw, as soon as I could get my hands on fabrics, this is what I was doing. And it was really a lot of sort of the 18th-century kind of French Court look, that was my thing for a long time, and I still love the panniers, the big side things that stick out, and you’ll still see that in some of my work. So I am very self-taught. I had a teddy bear named Corduroy, after the book Corduroy, and he was my model for many years, he would wear the dresses I made. We did not have a lot of money; I grew up on food stamps in a very poor neighborhood in San Jose, this is preSilicon Valley. So whenever I could get my hands on fabric, whenever someone would just give it to us, I loved it. I learned all by hand. I would design costumes for the neighborhood kids, and I was really into space and The Jetsons, and I would have all these adventures with our decorated refrigerator boxes in our courtyard, and I would make space clothes and Halloween costumes for all of them.

Left to right: ‘A Fusion’ design line by Saundra Beno; ‘DNA’ design line by Tobin Keller; ‘Future Modern’ design line

by Christina Morgan Cree.

You took a long hiatus from fashion design while raising three children— aside from a few wedding dresses and Halloween costumes. In 2011 you designed a gown of plastic soda rings for FashionART that not only appeared on the 2012 FashionART posters, but was also selected by Jean Paul Gaultier in a contest at the de Young museum. Did that feel like a sign that you needed to keep doing design?

In the Bay Area there are a lot of experienced and talented people submitting stuff. So that was really cool, I got to go there and I got to briefly meet him. I’m just super thankful that [FashionART] took my scratchy pencil sketches, and kind of cracked open the door for me, which led to a lot of other stuff. Yes, it was definitely validating, and I don’t think it sank in for months or years. Because you sit at home, and you’re making this stuff, and there’s just a lot of you in there, and it can be very vulnerable to put it out there in public. So, coming into it as a 41-year-old, and having not done all the design that I thought I was going to be able to do for decades, it was really wonderful.

Do you consider your soda ring dress, or some of the other pieces, like the candy-wrapper dresses, a statement about consumer culture?

From left to right: ‘Polka What’ by the Great Morgani; ‘Show Me the Money,’ a wearable art piece made from coins and dollars

by Christina Morgan Cree; ‘The Fashion Warrior’ by Lisa Bibbee, aka the Samurai Seamstress; a gown made out of slides, one of the Fashion Teens winners.

I’m a big recycler, and I recycled in Santa Cruz years before they did curbside recycling. We’d lug all of our stuff in the car to recycle it because we just felt strongly about that. So, my dress didn’t have a direct statement, but I would say it definitely represents who I am … There are pieces in FashionART that have been very direct statements on the environment and using recycled materials, and salvaging.

Lisa Bibbee, her design line last year was entirely repurposed, upcycled fabric. And a lot of people save and reuse. And so some people definitely do have very environmental statements on the runway, and that’s very intentional.

What can people expect for 2016?

It’s going to be very multicultural.

We’ve got two different designers that grew up in Africa, and they’re bringing their whole kind of integrated culture into their stuff, and it’s just wonderful, and it’s different. We have four designers who are really bringing their own backgrounds of their ethnicity and their growing up, their cultures, and colors to their lines. One of them opened the show

last year, and she’s going to be there again this year.

One of the designers is doing this really wonderful themed design line with headpieces. It’s going to be gorgeous. And we have a lot more men this year, so that’s exciting. We have a men’s designer, who just showed at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week— Ben Ellis.

Many of the pieces showcased at FashionART are so beautiful, but also a bit crazy as far as street clothes go. Do people actually wear these pieces afterward?

I can speak for me and some of the wearable artists.

They do go into other exhibitions. Some of my stuff’s been in the Richmond Art Gallery, and at the MAH, and I get asked a lot for my wearable art pieces for models and photographers to do photo shoots.

Santa Cruz doesn’t necessarily have a reputation for being fashion forward. Do you think that FashionART is changing that, proving that we do have an edge?

Would you say that what we’ll see is what we can expect to see for Fall?

Well, from what I’ve see in stores so far, I would say my line this year is probably more of what you’ll be seeing this fall. But FashionART is more about a platform for new and emerging designers, and, you know, there’s so much out there now. I would say FashionART does reflect the community’s fashion sense in that it’s really individualistic, and it’s very

much from the heart of the person, and there is a lot of non-conformity spirit there. And just showing what you are, who you are, what you are uniquely bringing that nobody else can. Because there will be amazing talent, and new and better and whatever, but what makes you as a person stand out is your perspective, your history, and what you uniquely bring to something, and that’s what I really love seeing come out.

It’s interesting to think about how the technological aspect of design has changed fashion, because most people are designing with computers now.

Yeah, that’s a good thought. I wonder how much that has lent to the flooding of the market with so much—you’re just inundated now with “new and different,” and it’s always changing, but it’s almost too much.

So then is the question ‘what’s new for fall’ kind of obsolete?

There’s always something new, but even when they come out with the Pantone color for the year [2016 is, for the first time, a blending of two colors; rose quartz and serenity], I don’t necessarily see that color.

SEPTEMBER 21-27, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Do you have any advice for beginning designers?

24

I think what’s great is there are so many platforms now to sell. You can even sell through Facebook now, and of course Etsy. And there are a lot of boutiques locally that are open to taking one-of-a-kind things. When I was going to school, going into the fashion design business, you were groomed to work in a bigger company—say Old Navy, or Esprit back then was still a thing in San Francisco. You were groomed to be the one who was doing, say, the pockets on shorts. You were part of a whole company. But what I like now is that you can start small and work for yourself. There are street fairs and a lot of pop-up shops now, like in Valley Fair Mall and in downtown San Jose. You can do a small little shop that’s like a booth almost, and you pay for your spot there, and you don’t have to maintain a space in the mall, but you’re getting all that

traffic coming by. There are so many ways that you can get your stuff out there now, and you don’t have to put this huge financial investment into it, that maybe you don’t have. So for young designers, I would encourage them to take advantage of all these things that we have. Fashion shows are a great way to get pictures and publicity. You’re not necessarily going to make a bunch of sales from a fashion show, but I get more custom work from fashion shows.

Also, you have to be a little thickerskinned and realize you will get nos, and you will get rejections—but take it with a grain of salt, and look for where you can improve, and really believe in yourself.

Left: ‘Countdown 4, 3, 2, 1’ by Angelo Grova, producer of FashionART; Right: ‘DNA’ design line by Tobin Keller.

You’ve been involved in FashionART since the beginning. Do you see it evolving, or moving in any particular direction?

To me it gets better and better each year, from what I’ve seen, and it steps up in sophistication, year to year, and yet it’s still extremely inclusive. There are still models of all sizes; we have a lot of great models who have a lot of experience, and they are your 5’9” and up and size 2-4, so we’ve got those models. We’ve got the professional hair and makeup, we’ve also got short models, we’ve got models of all shapes and sizes. I go back and forth depending on my line if I use model-looking women or normal-shaped women, and I love doing that. So I feel like it’s becoming more professional looking and yet it’s not getting detached from its original purpose, which is that it supports the community and the arts and foundation and fashion teams, and it’s very supportive of artists like myself.

And a lot of these artists are working all year long on their lines for FashionART?

Yes, there are some that work all year. We always have some designers where this is their first time putting together an entire line, and really putting their heart and soul into it.

And it really takes a lot out of you.

Jill Alexander has gone international

with stuff, and I believe FashionART was her first runway show, and she started with plus size and now she does all sizes.

You’ve done shows around the Bay Area but you say FashionART is easily your favorite. Why is that?

First of all, you’ve got this venue that holds just so many people, and most fashion shows can’t seat that many people—and then people are just really happy to be there, it’s just the best audience. So you go out on stage and it’s a nearly 50-foot runway, and you are literally on your own, thrown out there. There have been a lot of first-time models, and this is the first time they’ve modeled in these high heels on this huge runway— very intimidating.

But the warmth and the support and all the love you feel, I mean it’s just great.

Everybody loves doing it, everybody comes away from it saying they loved doing it.

Obvious Fact is the twelfth novel in Craig Johnson’s terrific series about Walt Longmire, a sheriff in Absaroka County, Wyoming. In anticipation of his appearance at Bookshop Santa Cruz, Johnson shared his thoughts

on fiction, television, the writing life, and the Milky Way. The Longmire novels are set in the least populated county in the least populated state, but they’ve tapped into

something larger, even universal. Why? When I wrote the first Longmire novel, the CSI stuff was really catching on and everything was about ballistics, forensics, and DNA testing. I thought all that >28

LITERATURE

“I think if I ever kill Walt off, the readers will kill me. I was lucky to find him. Walt is the best insurance that I’ll continue the series. He’s good company.” -CRAIG JOHNSON <26 technology was robbing the stories of their humanity. I figured if I wrote a procedural about the sheriff of a rural county in a rural state, it might focus more on character and place, which is where the best writing takes place, and what Steinbeck referred to as a “universality of the human condition.” There’s always going to be an epic, romantic quality to westerns, even contemporary ones, but it comes down to the characters. Walt isn’t like most characters you find in crime fiction. He’s more like us.

How do you incorporate the landscape into your novels?

Studs Terkel once said, “Nothin’ ever happened nowhere.” The landscape informs the characters, and with Wyoming being a place of extremes, it makes for a rich environment. I’m sometimes asked if I’m a mystery writer or a western writer and I guess I’m both, but the western part is the settings of my books, and that has an effect on everything.

You write about people and places many of us don’t have experience with. How do you balance authenticity with great storytelling?

Most of my novels come from newspaper articles, which keep them anchored in the reality of what western sheriffs really deal with. There’s also a responsibility in writing about a place you love the way I love the Bighorn Mountain region of Wyoming—you need to be honest about it so that even if people have never been there, they know it.

You work as a consultant on the TV series. What has surprised you about the process?

I’ve come to consider it an equal but separate universe from the books.

There are things that work in books and things that work in television and those two things might not be

identical. The greatest surprise is how much I enjoy the show. It’s interesting to see a different take on the characters and world I created.

Do you have an end in mind when it comes to the Longmire series?

I think if I ever kill Walt off, the readers will kill me. I was lucky to find him. Walt is the best insurance that I’ll continue the series. He’s good company.

Any advice for hopeful novelists?

Being a writer is kind of like being a cop—if everybody is running in one direction, you need to run in the other. Take chances and do something different. There are agents and publishers who want you to be the next Hemingway—don’t disappoint them.

Like Longmire, you live in rural Wyoming.

It’s a beautiful but challenging place.

What keeps you there?

Ucross, the nearest town to my ranch, has a population of 25. That offers me the isolation and focus I need for my writing. At night, after I’ve grained the horses, I step outside the barn and look up into the thick part of the Milky Way—that strip of stars that runs from horizon to horizon, what my Northern Cheyenne friends refer to as the Hanging Road, the trail that our ancestors used to travel back and forth between here and the Camp of the Dead—and no pun intended, I thank my lucky stars.

After a few moments, I’ve got horses resting their heads on my shoulders, probably wondering what in the world I’m doing out there, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.

Craig Johnson will read from and discuss his book at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22 at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Free.

Jewel Theatre Company on-track with season opener ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ BY LISA JENSEN

T

hese days, Tennessee Williams’ groundbreaking drama, A Streetcar Named Desire, could seem as quaint and mannered as the fading, delusional Southern belle at its center.

But the old girl holds up surprisingly well in the smart new production of Streetcar that launches the twelfth season of Jewel Theatre Company.

First produced onstage in 1947, the play was controversial for daring to whisper (obliquely) about taboo subjects like homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, and rape. It examines the erosion of Southern gentility, in the hothouse flower that is Blanche DuBois, exposed in the merciless glare of the postwar modern world represented by her

working-class brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. But Williams knew that the perceived elegance of the Old South—built on generations of slavery and repression—was as much an illusion as Blanche’s image of herself as a fragile innocent.

These are no longer considered scandalous, or particularly new ideas.

But director Susan Myer Silton sets them up vividly in her JTC production.

The story is set in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and one of Silton’s coolest innovations is to place a threeman jazz combo on a wrought-iron balcony overlooking the stage; they play the audience in, and the actors in and out of scenes, subtly punctuating the action, but never overwhelming it.

Stanley Kowalski (Brent Schindele),

a factory foreman and ex-GI, lives in a two-room apartment with his wife, Stella (Erika Schindele). He downs beers, and plays poker with the boys, she gossips with the neighbors, and they enjoy a strong physical, if sometimes volatile, relationship.

But their marriage is strained when Stella’s older sister, Blanche (Julie James), arrives. A spinsterish onetime high school English teacher, Blanche spins a tale of woe about how the family home (a Mississippi plantation called Belle Reve), has been “lost,” as the elder generation died out. Alternately reproaching Stella for “abandoning” the family that Blanche had to care for, and buttering her up as her “precious baby sister,” Blanche has nowhere to

go, and her travel plans are indefinite.

Blanche deplores what she considers the Kowalski’s miserable living conditions, and finds Stanley crude and common. (James is extremely funny in Blanche’s speech on how “ape-like” Stanley is, even as the dramatic tension builds.)

Stanley suspects her of cheating Stella out of the family inheritance; he loathes her superior attitude, her interference in his marriage, and her pretense to gentility, which he considers a phony act.

As Stanley, Schindele is (refreshingly) nothing like Marlon Brando’s famous performance in the role. Schindele’s Stanley is more savvy, less elemental, and yet still conveys an air of danger. Since Schindele was previously seen in a dinner jacket, tinkling the ivories as the lounge pianist in JTC’s delightful film noir musical, Gunmetal Blues, his performance here is a pretty nifty about-face. Erika Schindele (she and Brent are married in real life) invests Stella with strength and compassion beneath her nice-girl exterior.

The Kowalski’s apartment (kitchen and bedroom, with a flimsy curtain between) is rendered in precise period detail by scenic designer JR Bruce. It includes staircases on both sides leading up to the balcony, and the actors use every inch of space. B. Modern’s costumes are terrific, especially the filmy, flowery concoctions of lace and tulle that emerge out of Blanche’s trunk. (OK, for the men Modern only has to provide mostly undershirts and bowling shirts, but those are crisply done as well.)

Without complete blackouts onstage, the opening night audience wasn’t sure if it should clap between scenes. But don’t be shy; each movement deserves your encouragement. Another nice touch is Silton’s selection of songs for the jazz trio throughout, especially the recurring ballad, “That Old Feeling”—a telling lyric on so many levels as pasts and present collide in this adroit production.

The Jewel Theatre Company production of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ plays through Oct. 2 at the Colligan Theater in The Tannery Arts Center. Call 425-7506, or visit jeweltheatre.net.

Bordering on Retro

Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas bring a Latin sound and bilingual lyrics to their new soul-rock record BY AARON CARNES

J

essica Hernandez seems scattered. She even calls me for our scheduled interview a half hour late, which she immediately apologizes for in a tone of voice that suggests “too much caffeine.”

It’s understandable—she’s got a lot going on. Her band Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas, which hails from Detroit, is working on its sophomore full-length—Hernandez recently got back from Mexico City, where she worked on vocals—and is getting ready to head out on tour. The band will make a stop at Moe’s Alley in

Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

The new record will be the first record since the group’s 2013 debut, Secret Evil, a well-received dance record that pulls from soul and retro rock ’n’ roll. It manages to be both joyful and pissed off as hell at the same time, with Hernandez sounding like an intense Amy Winehouse, bursting at the seams with emotions.

The anger in her vocals is a glimpse into her teenage years, when she listened to a lot of grind and metalcore, something her husband teases her about as she works out the vocal parts for her new album.

“I’ll get real aggressive in a song.

He’ll be like, ‘All right, you’re not in Converge, you need to chill the fuck out,’” she says, laughing, then clarifies the balance she tries to strike. “If I write something that’s poppy, then I’m like, ‘how can it still have an edge to it?’ If I write something that’s a little too intense, then how can I make it a little more chill?”

The songs on Secret Evil are mostly old tunes she wrote back when she was a solo musician slinging an acoustic guitar from gig to gig. Once she formed the Deltas, they hit the

road. They’ve toured heavily over the past five years. The new record, in a sense is a continuation of Secret Evil’s sound, but it’s also totally different— everyone wrote these tunes together, unlike the first album, which she wrote.

And there’s another big change she is particularly excited about: she’s singing in English and Spanish on the new record, something she’s never done before.

“I have so many bilingual friends that I’ve kind of wanted to incorporate that side of my life. I wanted to put even more of myself and my experiences and culture into the music,” she says.

Some elements of Latin music even found their way into the new record, mostly in terms of the rhythms, otherwise it’s straight-up rock-meets-soul.

The biggest motivation for this shift is her family. Her father is Cuban, and her mother is Mexican, and she grew up around a lot of Latin music. Her parents owned a Mexican bakery, and she heard a lot of it there, too.

She tells me she’s roughly 75 percent fluent in Spanish, and she didn’t want to hand over English lyrics to a native speaker to have them translated. Instead, she worked on the Spanish lyrics with some of her friends in Mexico City.

She and her band are putting the final touches on the record now.

Since things got serious for them five years ago, they’ve had a few impressive opportunities, like a spot on David Letterman in 2014.

But mostly, it’s been the group’s constant touring schedule that’s earned them the respect and fan base they have now.

“Ninety percent of the fans that we have are from seeing us live.

So it’s taken a lot longer than if we had some big single that everyone’s listening to on Spotify,” Hernandez says. “The hope is with this next record we can finally get some singles, and other things that can help give us momentum. Up until now, it’s literally been word of mouth and touring.”

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

TEN O’CLOCK LUNCH The name Ten O’Clock Lunch is kind of an inside joke for people who work at grocery stores, or anywhere else where the shift begins at 6 o’clock in the morning. It’s a fitting name for the group, which was started by George Zaferes, a grocer who would use his 10 o’clock lunch break to play music.

Zaferes started jamming with a co-worker, who’s no longer in the band.

Other band members came on after riding their bikes by the jam session and asking to join in.

SEPTEMBER 21-27, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Eventually these jam sessions turned into a regularly gigging band, playing an array of covers from genres including blues, rock, soul, country and reggae. The band’s rehearsals quickly got much more formal. One of its strengths is the vocals.

There are three members that sing lead, and do harmonies. But no matter what, the band’s always been about having fun and getting people to dance.

44

“We’re all professionals, but we don’t really take ourselves all that seriously,” says harmonica player Richard Wankoff.

“We’re not just playing songs that we want to play, even though we chose songs that we like. We thought other people would like them, too.”

The band has been going for four years now, popping up at local spots like Crow’s Nest, Michael’s On Main, Severino’s Bar and Grill, and the Fish House.

The main thing is getting people to dance. “We’re versatile. We’re really all about playing a groove and having a good time and helping the people have a good time,” Wankoff says. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22.

Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $5. 476-4560.

SHOOK TWINS

THURSDAY 9/22 FOLK

SHOOK TWINS I have this theory that people who sing together in bands end up sounding more like each other over time. In the case of Shook Twins, that was inevitable. The duo—identical twins Katelyn and Laurie Shook—has DNA on its side. And they use it to create some dreamy, gorgeous harmonies. It feels like an audio shower, drowning you in spine-tingling goosebumps. These days, the sisters play with a couple other members too, giving them a full string ensemble sound that harkens to Appalachian finger-plucking sound in an entirely modern, and dare I say, exciting, way. They share the bill with the Sam Chase & the Untraditional.

FRIDAY 9/23 HIP-HOP

THE SOUL REBELS FT. TALIB KWELI

Ska-punk has been the bread and butter of these Solvang ska-punkers since the band’s formation in 1995, but their influences are wide reaching, and include reggae, Dixieland jazz, Latin music, hardcore and whatever other genres they feel like tossing in. The band’s last album, 2014’s Dirty Rice, continues the whirlwind of genre-mashing that the seven-piece has delighted in the past two decades, and the members sound like they’re having more fun than ever. AC

Hailed as “the missing link between Public Enemy and Louis Armstrong," eight-piece brass ensemble Soul Rebels Sound System has performed with a range of artists, from Marilyn Manson to Bruno Mars. The New Orleans-based collective will hit the road with Ms. Lauryn Hill after they finish touring with rapper and activist Talib Kweli.

Live hip-hop backed by a brass band can’t help but breathe new life into the genre, giving shows a full sound and palpable energy that couldn’t be achieved otherwise; the Soul Rebels’ rendition of Kweli’s hit “Get By” gives the song the robust sound it deserves. Splitting the bill for the night is Oakland’s own innovative icon Del the Funky Homosapien, founder of hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics and lyricist for Afrofuturist collective Deltron 3030.

AZESU

SANTA CRUZ GUITARS 40TH ANNIVERSARY

A Bay Area supergroup that brings together a dazzling cast of players, Azesu draws on the musical abundance of Latin America filtered through a sensibility honed in jazz.

At the forefront is the Venezuelan-born Bay Area vocalist María Márquez, who possesses a sensuous cello-like sound that’s as striking as it is instantly recognizable. She’s joined by Venezuelan percussionist Omar Ledezma Jr., reed master Sheldon Brown, pianist Jonathan Alford, drum maestro Alan Hall, and the band’s founder, Peruvian-born bassist David Pinto (former music director for Afro-Peruvian legend Susana Baca). With a repertoire that ranges from Peruvian festejo and Venezuelan merengue to Cuban boleros and Brazilian bossa nova, Azesu is a pan-American festival unto itself. ANDREW GILBERT

Grammy-winning cumbia collective Grupo Fantasma formed in 2000 in Austin, Texas. The nine-piece funk orchestra’s incendiary live show, described by the Boston Phoenix as a “sprawling feast for the ears” has brought them to major festivals and venues internationally, including two tours to Kuwait and Iraq to entertain US troops. Bassist Greg Gonzalez told GT that their most memorable gigs were with Prince. In 2007, they opened for the late icon in London, to a crowd of 20,000. “We followed that up immediately with an all-night after-party/jam session show at the Indigo club with Prince and his band.”

The collective’s pre-performance ritual involves tequila shots and warm-up stretches. “We’ve played at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz before and we always enjoy it. The venue sounds great and is intimate, plus the audience is always receptive and full of beautiful people.” KS

Parental Misguidance

50

Friendship, family examined in wistful ‘Little Men’ BY LISA JENSEN

C

hildhood friendships are delicate enough without interference from the grown-ups. Ira Sachs’ thoughtful family drama Little Men begins with a bond bubbling up unexpectedly between two boys from very different backgrounds thrown together by circumstances.

But circumstances change, and it’s the consequence of parental agendas on the boys’ newfound friendship that’s explored in Sachs’ small-focus tone poem of a film.

The story revolves around 13-yearold Jake (a very poised performance from newcomer Theo Taplitz). A quiet kid who loves to draw, Jake

lives in a comfortable, upper middleclass apartment in downtown Manhattan. The family housekeeper comes to meet him after school while his parents are at work.

His mother, Kathy (the alwaysradiant Jennifer Ehle), is a psychotherapist whose income supports the family. His father, Brian (Greg Kinnear), is a stage actor; he loves the theater, but most of the work he gets is in small nonprofit theater companies that don’t pay much. When Jake wonders why he’s no longer auditioning for Broadway shows, his dad tells him he’s become “adaptable.”

One day after school, Jake gets a

phone call from an uncle he hasn’t seen in years, sending condolences on the death of the grandfather he barely knows, Brian’s father, Max. Brian inherits the building he grew up in, a Brownstone in Brooklyn, and moves his family in. The property includes a storefront on the ground level, a dress and tailoring shop run by immigrant seamstress, Leonor (Chilean actress Paulina Garcia, who was so great in the film Gloria a couple of years ago).

On the day the family moves in, Leonor’s son, Tony (Michael Barbieri), offers to help carry in some of Jake’s stuff. He’s blown away by Jake’s drawings, and when

they discover they both love the same video games, the boys hit it off.

Leonor brings a cake upstairs to the after-funeral gathering that she says was Max’s favorite, and Kathy buys a dress in Leonor’s shop.

But trouble brews when Brian, his sister, Audrey (Talia Balsam), and Kathy, decide they have to raise the rent on Leonor’s shop to something approaching market value. Single mom Leonor can barely make the rent as it is, and while Brian understands that Leonor and Max were friends, and his dad kept the rent affordable so she could stay there, Brian needs the extra income.

Sachs manages to present every viewpoint without heroes or villains.

Brian feels guilty that his wife pays the bills, and tries to come to terms with Leonor to avoid eviction. For her part, Leonor is not above subtle digs that she was more “family” to Brian’s father than he was.

The boys watch in perplexity as their parents find ways to curtail the time they spend together. “Our parents are involved in a business matter,” Tony says to Jake. “It’s getting ugly, so they’re taking it out on us.”

In retaliation, they decide to stop talking to their parents, which further aggravates everybody, but is no more effective than Kathy’s “conflict resolution” skills in solving anything.

The impact of this adult drama on the boys is the soul of the movie. Tony is a real Brooklyn kid, gregarious and feisty; he plays soccer with the guys in the park, but he wants to be an actor, dragging Jake along to an after-school acting workshop for kids. But hanging out with Tony is an even bigger deal to Jake, who’s too shy to make friends easily. When we see the two of them (from two different schools, and two different worlds) racing around the neighborhood together on scooter and skates, we realize all that’s at risk from their parents’ impasse.

There’s no easy resolution to the story, and Sachs doesn’t try to impose one. Instead, he offers a wistful coda in which Life, inevitably, goes on.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Denzel Washington is the courier of righteousness and he’s raining down hell on savage thieves with the help of a ragtag group of gun men.

QUEEN OF KATWE The story of how a girl from the slums of Uganda rose to become the first female chess player to win the open category of the National Junior Chess Championship in Uganda and became the champion in 2013.

(PG) 124 minutes.

STORKS In this animated film, storks used to deliver babies, now they deliver packages for cornerstore.com—is this an allegory about the U.S. Postal Service?

Adventure ensues when an order for a baby appears and the top delivery stork scrambles to fix the mistake.

BRIDGET JONES’S BABY It’s the movie series we kind of hate to love, but will still always mostly love.

Sharon Maguire directs.

Renée Zellweger, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent. (R) 122 minutes.

CAFÉ SOCIETY Woody Allen directs.

Steve Carell co-stars. With Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Parker Posey and Blake Lively. (PG-13) 96 minutes.

she could be anyone she wanted, live a thousand lives, so she did. Fifteen years, she returns to the life she left and wreaks havoc on those who loved her. Joshua Marston directs. Rachel Weisz, Michael Shannon, Kathy Bates co-star. (R) 60 minutes.

THE DISAPPOINTMENTS ROOM An eerie hidden room full of your deepest, darkest disappointments: Kate Beckinsale, girl, nooo thank you.

D. J. Caruso. Kate Beckinsale, Lucas Till, and Michaela Conlin co-star. (R) 92 minutes.

DON’T BREATHE Did you hear the one about the kids who tried to rob a blind guy, but it turned out he was a psycho ninja and they ended up trapped in his house, fighting for their lives? It’s this movie. Fede Alvarez directs. Stephen Lang, Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette co-star. (R) 88 minutes.

DON’T THINK TWICE It’s not all right! Mike Birbiglia and his adorable, hilariously dysfunctional group of comedy besties get their big break, and all is looking up until it looks like one of them might outshine the rest. Mike Birbiglia directs. Keegan-Michael Key and Gillian Jacobs co-star.

(R) 92 minutes.

THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS Just try getting through this entire preview without at least tearing up: Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender play a couple in Western Australia who lose what they thought was their chance at starting a family—until they hear a baby’s cries from the ocean waves. Their hopes seem magically restored when they rescue the baby from the water and raise her as their own. But then they meet Rachel Weisz, a grieving mother who lost her baby at sea ... Pack extra tissues. Derek Cianfrance directs.

(PG-13) 132 minutes.

LITTLE MEN Reviewed this issue. Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina García co-star. (PG) 85 minutes.

PETE’S DRAGON OK, first things first: the ranger in this movie is not Jessica Chastain—it’s Bryce Dallas Howard, and, yes, they look identical. Secondly, this is not Tarzan. It’s kind of like Tarzan but apparently a dragon helped the orphan boy survive in the wilderness, and somehow after six years living rogue, he still has the ability to easily converse in English despite having clearly missed the milestones necessary for speech development. Oh, it’s a children’s movie, right. Additionally, Robert Redford and State Sen. R. Clayton 'Clay' Davis from the Wire are here for the party, and we’re very excited.

David Lowery (not the guy from Camper Van Beethoven) directs.

Oakes Fegley co-stars. (PG) 102 minutes.

Joseph GordonLevitt unpacks what it was like for the then-barely-30-year-old to make a decision that would make him the world’s most wanted man. Oliver Stone directs. Shailene Woodley and Melissa Leo co-star. (R) 134 minutes.

STAR TREK: BEYOND Eyebrows.

Space. That guy from Harold and Kumar. Explosions. More eyebrows.

Space explosions! Justin Lin directs.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

SULLY He felt both engines fail. He had 208 seconds to make a call for the 155 souls on board. Did Captain Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger make the right call to land flight 1549 on the Hudson River? Clint Eastwood directs.

Tom Hanks, Laura Linney and Aaron Eckhart co-star. (PG-13) 96 minutes.

WAR DOGS From massage therapist to international arms dealer, Miles Teller joins Jonah Hill (who has thankfully put some of that Superbad weight back on) as the two stoners who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America’s allies in Afghanistan. Wait—this is based on a true story!? Todd Phillips directs. Steve Lantz co-stars. (R) 114 minutes.

WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS A surrogate mom for a couple becomes scarily obsessed with the soon-to-be dad. Psh, pregnant women, right?

(That’s a joke, we’re all feminists here!)

Chef Brad Briske takes over La Gioconda spot while former owner Luca Viara expands Tramonti BY LILY STOICHEFF

T

he charming Craftsman home-turned-restaurant at 3101 N. Main Street in Soquel has gone through several reincarnations in the last 10 years—most recently as La Gioconda, an authentic Tuscan kitchen headed by restaurateur Luca Viara—and is about to undergo another transformation under the ownership of chef Brad Briske.

Briske, whom Viara praises as “the perfect fit,” was the chef at the location during its Main Street Garden & Cafe days, and after honing his “food-as-medicine” philosophy and farm-to-table ethos as the head of La Balena in Carmel for the last few years,

is excited to return home … or, rather, Home.

“I decided to name my restaurant Home because the space is an old house with a lot of charm converted into a beautiful restaurant where people will be taken care of. ‘Home’ is how I want my customers to feel,” says Briske.

Briske was a vegan before teaching himself how to butcher and use entire animals, and is extremely dedicated to sourcing the best local ingredients, which he says isn’t difficult in an area with such passionate farmers. He describes his cuisine as wholesome, holistic, Californian-Italian with a “whole animal and food-as-medicine

philosophy.” Briske also teases the idea of doing a chef-served tasting menu at his new location, although he hasn’t quite worked out the details. He hopes to open the doors to Home this fall.

With the sale of the Main Street kitchen complete, Viara has time to focus on several other projects, including his casual and authentic pizzaiolo, Tramonti. The Seabright restaurant, opened in 2012, is flourishing, and he’s looking to open another location in Santa Cruz as soon as he can find an appropriate property. Viara, who was born in Turin, is also starting a small catering company with his former business partner, with whom he ran several

STEAK OUT I was skeptical when my friend insisted we grab a steak for our backpacking trip over Labor Day weekend, especially since he also assured me we also did not need a grill or pan of any kind. I still wasn’t convinced when he let our cooking fire burn down and banked the coals to one side. I even tried to stop him when, after heavily frosting the outside of the meat with kosher salt, he placed it directly on the embers.

Then I walked away and had a glass of wine (because everyone brings wine when they’re backpacking, right?). When I returned, he was cutting a perfectly charred, mediumrare steak that was amazingly ash free. I was delighted to eat my words and a delicious steak dinner on the trail that night. Next time you’re out in the wilderness, try it for yourself!

It’s also become a prime destination for local foodies looking to sample the best food, beer and wine in the area. Event director Keikilani McKay gave us a little more insight into this year’s event.

Anything new that people can expect this year?

KEIKILANI MCKAY: There are about 10 additional participants at this point. We have 29 wineries, breweries, and spirits, and then 30 restaurants. And a couple of lifestyle vendors; art and local products.

New this year I have the Turkey Boat—they’re from Pajaro. We also have Odonata Wines—they haven’t participated in a few years. I have the Cremer House, Cantine Winepub in Aptos, Hive and Hum.

Can you explain briefly what the money raised will do?

All the proceeds go directly to the

beneficiaries. SCCBG raises money to provide cancer services and research locally. The mission of the group is to help the beneficiaries fight cancer, and provide critical support services for families that are undergoing the trauma of cancer. The idea when we founded it was to simply give back to local services. The national organizations are doing a great job, but you don’t always feel the immediate impact in your community. This is an organization that delivers food to families that are undergoing cancer treatment, and don’t have time to make their dinner.

How many people do you expect this year?

Between 1,200 and 1,500. It started with about 250 people for the first several years, and it keeps growing each year. Last year, we had 1,200 attendees. We want it to grow, but we don’t want it to grow so big that it’s packed and overwhelming.

Aptos Village Park is great, and we can accommodate about 2,500 people there.

Martin Ranch

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2012 is an earthy gem BY JOSIE COWDEN

A

gorgeous piece of property, tasting room and vineyards lie up Redwood Retreat Road in Gilroy: Martin Ranch. It’s always a joy to visit Dan and Thérèse Martin—they are happy, ebullient people who make everybody feel welcome. And their wines are exceptional, so a wine-tasting at Martin Ranch is always a rewarding experience.

Meeting up with some friends, we crack open a bottle of Pinot Noir 2012 Thérèse Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains - Lester Family Vineyards.

A stunning Pinot, this one, packed with gorgeous flavors that will make you want to drink it over and over.

“The wine’s garnet color shows off a real gem,” say the Martins. “Its bright raspberry spice up front moves into a silky vanilla middle palate with a seductive, lingering oak finish.” But I love the wine’s notes of leather and spice, and the overall earthiness of this superb Pinot ($47). When the grapes come from Lester Family Vineyards, you know you’re onto something good.

Martin Ranch Winery, 6675 Redwood Retreat Road, Gilroy, 408-842-9197, martinranchwinery.com. Open every first and third weekend of the month from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

NOURISHING GENERATIONS FUNDRAISER Nourishing Generations, a local Santa Cruz nonprofit, announces a fundraising party to celebrate bringing much-needed professional nutrition, cooking, and movement classes to kids, teens and adults in our community.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES PEACE MESSENGERS, MERCURY DIRECT, AUTUMN EQUINOX

Wednesday is the United Nations International Day of Peace. It calls all of humanity to gather together in a spirit of peace and to commit to intentions for peace even amidst differences.

There are peace day activities everywhere around the globe. Everyone is asked to participate in a public or private activity related to peace.

At noon the United Nations, the Peace Bell, given to the U.S. by Japan, will be rung.

Simultaneously we are called to a “Moment of Silence” at noon in every time zone, creating a united “Peace Wave” around the world.

Students from around the world participate in Peace Day at the United Nations. They are called Peace Messengers. We can be a Peace Messenger, too. But first we must know how to bring about peace.

I have written about this before. I will write it again. There is an esoteric equation

that tells us how to bring about peace.

Goodwill = Right Relations = Peace. We begin with Intentions for Goodwill (in all actions, thoughts and speech). Goodwill becomes Right Human Relations (RHR with all Kingdoms; mineral, plant, animal and human). RHR then creates the first steps toward an active and ongoing process called Peace.

The New Group of World Servers, as our action for peace, will be reciting the Great Invocation every 15 minutes on Peace Day. For an event map and information on how to get involved, visit internationaldayofpeace.org.

Wednesday night, Mercury stations direct, at 15 degrees Virgo.

Thursday morning, Sun (at the equator) enters Libra, and autumn begins. Persephone enters the underworld. Ceres grieves. The plant kingdom begins to withdraw. The apples, persimmons, pomegranates and guavas ripen.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The sign Virgo and the lunar eclipse brought to the forefront in your life aspects of service. This is a time of asking all of us what and whom we serve. In daily life the issues of order and organization have become important, along with health and well-being. Virgo asks us to purify.

The eclipse lets things fall away from our life. You discover renewed faith in yourself.

Inner spiritual resources will come to your aid when you feel lost or at sea without direction. Prayer helps, storming heaven does too. Much of what you have relied upon, even desires, fall away. You’ve built up strong inner resources over the years.

Though it seems as if answers are covered by a mist, persevere in your prayers of asking and the veils will fall away.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 21, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21 A new level of courage is offered so you can begin to take little risks along the way. In order to bring forth the new realities it’s good to call forth confidence in yourself that what you see and feel are correct and are actual directions as to your next step in life. You must learn a bit more about working as a team with care and cooperation. Sharing, too.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Learning new things and sharing your knowledge and experiences with others is what is needed now. You often keep information to yourself under your shell of protection. This is good for you. However, there are so many who need your knowledge, expertise, ways of knowing and living. Please consider sharing more. In the months to come you will want to travel and perhaps move.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Security, your own and for others, becomes a significant focus along with finances and resources, sexuality and spirituality. They are all different levels of resources in your life. Begin with making yourself secure and comfortable. Then move onto others in need. Perhaps they are another kingdom (animal, plant, mineral).

Ponder upon what intimacy means to you. It’s time to begin a new creative endeavor (again).

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You may be called to act with courage and confidence concerning how you identify yourself. Events may occur in which who you thought were your friends may actually turn out not to be. What this means is that a new journey has begun for you as old ways begin to pass away. It’s good to assess your wardrobe. As we change internally our appearance in the world must change too.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 There may have been expectations that didn’t quite work out as planned or hoped for. There are people, friends, hopes, wishes and dreams hovering about in the airs around you. Who and/or what are they? Be sure to communicate with those who love and support you. Soon new challenges will come your way.

That’s the way for Scorpio. It’s always something … reorienting, transforming, dying, shifting, or being born.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Something happened during the retrograde that was unusual. You were called out to be a different persona, to uphold a new reality, to assume a different task in the world.

You undertook this with bravado and a sense of theatre.

But underneath a deep spiritual value came forth. This experience will hold you to something new in the future. As the clouds clear and the mists part, you will understand.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 So many things felt uncertain, cloudy and misty over the past weeks. Things in form and matter got lost, laid in the sun, fell apart. There was disappointment, perhaps. Now life turns around again, falls into place. New plans are made, new encouragements and enthusiasm. Hands are steadier, ideas able to be turned into action. New opportunities await.

They’re all around you. Choose all of them. You laugh.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You’re learning how well you can provide for yourself.

You’re recognizing that your creative efforts keep you well-protected and cared for. I have written many times that Aquarians are the ones who come from the future.

So they know the future. Rather like an “unthought known.” And therefore all that they experience prepares others who watch them for that future, for the times to come. You are valuable. You are our forerunner.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 There is a seeking for clarity about the nature of your relationships with intimates, friends, acquaintances.

Some have fallen away and some you no longer want to be part of. This signifies that you are walking down a different road now, entering into new studies and world relationships, working on new and different goals. At first there’s sadness. Then you turn toward the new lands offered. A new world comes into view.

Home and work in the world are both activated by Virgo and the Pisces lunar eclipse. Both need a new level of attention, for both are changing. You work instinctively when it comes to family and home. Your wounds seem to be stimulated when you think of work in the world.

Recognize them and allow them to wash over you. Take Ignatia Amara (homeopath for grief). Home at this time safeguards you.

ALAN ZIEGLER, 33-YEAR CUSTOMER, SANTA CRUZ

Occupation: Architectural steel worker Hobbies: Swimming, rowing, hiking, cooking Astrological Sign: Sagittarius You folks cook together? ALLEN: “Yes, we cook all kinds of food together, from Hawaiian and Asian to French and more.” ROSE: “He’s really good with sauces, and he makes real French fries.” ALLEN: “I like the pasta here at Shopper’s, especially Pasta Mike’s fresh raviolis, and they have a good selection of dry pasta.” ROSE: “We get a variety of meats from the butcher department, and the guys are really knowledgeable. They are real butchers, they’re not just stacking meat. And they’re friendly, actually everybody at Shopper’s is. They all know our daughter, Emma.”

ALLEN: “Shopper’s is an important local business.”

How so? ALLEN: “Shopper’s is like the the pillar of the community. It’s always been here.”

ROSE: “We prefer to support local businesses, and this place has personality, as opposed to so many other stores.” ALLEN: Shopper’s seems to know what we and other locals want. We don’t need 50 brands of cereal — just a few good ones are fine. It’s rare that we can’t find what we’re looking for such as rice noodles, nori for sushi, seasonings and herbs— both fresh and dried — plus a variety of great vinegars, olive oils, and cheeses.” ROSE: “Shopper’s is unique with their broad range of products.”

Unique in what way? ROSE: “Shopper’s caters to a variety of tastes and demands, from all-natural and organic products, to the every-day basics, gourmet and specialty, international, and, of course, local, which includes the always-fresh produce.” ALLEN: “Shopper’s has an excellent wine selection — there’s always good choices for every budget. We recommend Shopper’s for the quality, fair pricing, and good service.” ROSE: “It’s also quaint and cozy — I love the wooden floors! — with a pleasant, friendly environment. Shopper’s is a leader in the community.

It provides good jobs for many locals.”

“Shopper’s has real butchers, and they’re really helpful and knowledgeable. They’re no just stacking meat.
