OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE We’ve been wanting to do this story on Mt. Umunhum for a year. Aaron Carnes, a guy who likes to go on 100-mile hikes—and is, incidentally, nuts—heard about the long-awaited re-opening to the public of the tallest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains in early 2016, and immediately wanted to be the first person to hike it, and write a story about the experience.

Yeah … since it’s now September of 2017, you can imagine that didn’t exactly go as planned. First, the opening of the trail up Mt. Umunhum was delayed while the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District finished

Re: “The Santa Cruz Restaurant Crisis”: If restaurateurs in Santa Cruz are having such a hard time finding workers, they might consider looking at an older generation than the twentysomethings. I have 12 years experience working in the restaurant industry—everything from dishwasher to assistant manager. Yet, because I have grey hair, I have been unable to find work as a hostess/server. I love the restaurant industry! I made lots of money “back in the day” working as a server because every customer was me, and I know how I like to be treated when I go to a restaurant. There are probably many other older people in this town who could better serve the restaurateurs because they have experience. There is no shortage of labor; there is a shortage of creative thinking!

Give me a shout if you are interested in an experienced restaurant worker. And I know others who would love to again work in the restaurant industry.

DATA DOUBT Re: “Living on the Edge” (GT, 8/23): I’m an astronomer and teach a course in

improvements. Then there was some odd back-and-forth trying to get him up there—which ironically culminated in me having to agree to an embargo promising I wouldn’t publish this story before this week (and from their tone, they seemed really convinced we were trying to pull some kind of fast one on them, despite the fact that we’ve been trying to work with them on this for so long. Uh, no.)

Whatever, they turned out to give us probably the best guide we could have asked for, so who cares?

Did Aaron live his dream of being the first person to hike the new Mt. Umunhum trail—or at the least the first, as he puts it, “civilian?” Is it the greatest hike you’re likely to find in the Santa Cruz Mountains? I won’t spoil anything; read on and find out.

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

climate science at Cabrillo College each semester. It’s unfortunate that Dr. Griggs in his talk at the Rio this spring, and presumably in his book as well, does not highlight the newer and far better data we have on sea level rise. There was zero mention of how his numbers conflict with the current evidence. Griggs’ “2-3-foot rise by 2100” seems right out of the old IPCC AR5 report circa 2013.

IPCC models of ice behavior miss many key non-linear processes, and thus underpredict what we see. Example: IPCC models predicted we would not lose Arctic Ocean ice until 2100, but in fact it has plummeted to the point it may be gone inside 10 years. It also neglects the new (2014) data showing the un-grounding of the West Antarctic ice sheet, dooming us to 12-14 feet of sea level rise from this source alone over the next one to two centuries. It also neglects the more detailed analysis by former NASA GISS head Dr. James Hansen and his team of 18 co-authors (2016), showing that glacial melt processes are most consistent not with the slow sea-level rise acceleration of the IPCC models, but instead with a doubling time of roughly 10 years, predicting “multi-meter” sea-level rise in a time frame of 50-150 years.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Two animals are pictured prominently on Australia’s coat of arms: the kangaroo and the large flightless bird known as the emu. One of the reasons they were chosen is that both creatures rarely walk backward. They move forward or not at all. Australia’s founders wanted this to symbolize the nation’s pledge to never look back, to remain focused on advancing toward the future. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make a similar commitment, Aries. Is there a new symbol you might adopt to inspire your intention?

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The Simpsons is an animated sitcom that will soon begin its 29th consecutive year on TV. During its run, it has told over 600 stories. The creators of another animated sitcom, South Park, once did an episode entitled “Simpsons Already Did It,” which referenced their feelings that it was hard to come up with new tales because their rival had already used so many good ones. I bring this up, Taurus, because I suspect your life story will soon be spinning out novel plots that have never before been seen, not even on The Simpsons or South Park. You could and should be the Best Storyteller of the Month.

GEMINI May21–June20 Love won’t exactly be free in the coming weeks, but there should be some good deals. And I’m not referring to risky black-market stuff obtained in back alleys, either. I mean straightforward liaisons and intriguing intimacy at a reasonable cost. So if you’re comfortably mated, I suggest you invest in a campaign to bring more comedy and adventure into your collaborative efforts. If you’re single, wipe that love-starved look off your face and do some exuberant window-shopping. If you’re neither comfortably mated nor single, money may temporarily be able to buy you a bit more happiness.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 The current state of your fate reminds me of the sweet confusion alluded to in Octavio Paz’s poem “Between Going and Staying”: “All is visible and elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.” For another clue to the raw truth of your life right now, I’ll quote the poet William Wordsworth. He spoke of “fleeting moods of shadowy exultation.” Is the aura described by Paz and Wordsworth a problem that you should try to fix? Is it detrimental to your heroic quest? I don’t think so. Just the opposite, really: I hope you can hang out for a while in this pregnant mystery—between the yes and the no, between the dark and the light, between the dream and the reality. It will help you learn what you’ve been too restless to tune in to in the past.

The imminent future will be a favorable time for refurbished models and revived originals. They are likely to be more fun and interesting the second time around. I suspect that this will also be an auspicious phase for substitutes and alternatives. They may even turn out to be better than the so-called real things they replace. So be artful in formulating Plan B and Plan C, Leo. Switching over to backups may ultimately bring out more of the best in you and whisk you toward your ultimate goal in unexpected ways.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing. I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures, and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “Dear Dr. Astrology: I’m feeling lost, but am also feeling very close to finding my new direction. It hurts! It would

be so helpful if I could just catch a glimpse of that new direction. I’d be able to better endure the pain and confusion if I could get a tangible sense of the future happiness that my pain and confusion are preparing me for. Can you offer me any free advice? -Lost Libra.”

Dear Libra: The pain and confusion come from the dying of the old ways. They need to die a bit more before the new direction will reveal itself clearly. I predict that will happen soon—no later than Oct. 1.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Welcome to “Compose Your Own Oracle,” a special edition of Free Will Astrology. Departing from tradition, I’m temporarily stepping aside so you can have the freedom to write the exact horoscope you want. Normally, you might be in danger of falling victim to presumptuous arrogance if you imagined you could wield complete control over how your destiny unfolds. But in the days ahead, that rule won’t be as unyielding, because cosmic forces will be giving you more slack than usual. Fate and karma, which frequently impel you to act according to patterns that were set in place long ago, are giving you at least a partial respite. To get the maximum benefit out of “Compose Your Own Oracle,” identify three plot developments you’d like to weave into a self-fulfilling prophecy for your immediate future. Then start weaving.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Almost two-thirds of us confess that if we are alone, we might sip milk directly from the carton rather than first pouring it into a glass. Fourteen percent of us have used milk as part of our sexual activities. One out of every five of us admit that we have “borrowed” someone else’s milk from the fridge at work. Most shockingly, four percent of us brag that we have blown milk out our noses on purpose. I expect that in the next two weeks, you Sagittarians will exceed all of these norms. Not just because you’ll be in the mood to engage in mischievous experiments and playful adventures with milk, but because you’re likely to have a loosey-goosey relationship with almost everything.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The coming weeks will an excellent time for you to raise funds in support of political prisoners, or to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or to donate blood at a blood bank. In fact, any charitable service you perform for people you don’t know will be excellent for your physical and mental health. You can also generate vivid blessings for yourself by being extra thoughtful, kind, and generous toward people you care for. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when unselfish acts will yield maximum selfish benefits.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In his novel The Jungle, muckraker Upton Sinclair (18781968) exposed the abominable hygiene and working conditions of the meat-packing industry. The uproar that followed led to corrective legislation by the U.S. Congress. Sinclair remained devoted to serving the public good throughout his career. He liked to say that the term “social justice” was inscribed on his heart. Drawing from his inspiration, Aquarius, I suggest you decide what your soul’s main motto is—and imagine that it is written on your heart. Now is a perfect moment time to clarify your life’s purpose, and intensify your commitment to it; to devote even more practical, tender zeal to fulfilling the reason you were born.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You know that “patch of bothersome weeds” growing right in the middle of your life? Is it really a patch of bothersome weeds? Or is it perhaps a plot of cultivated blooms that once pleased you but has now turned into a puzzling irrelevancy? Or how about this possibility: Is it a chunk of languishing beauty that might flourish and please you again if it were cared for better? Those are excellent questions for you to pose in the coming days, Pisces. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to decide on the future of this quizzical presence.

A Tale of Two Cities - Part 2

By Datta Khalsa, Broker This article continues from my last column on August 30th.

Given the freedom of choice that accompanies the latest technological advances, it isn’t surprising that increasing numbers of workers in the tech industry have decided to set anchor here. And while the reception by the locals hasn’t always been exactly hospitable, the tech money - and everything that comes with it - is definitely here to stay.

You no longer need to go to Palo Alto or San Francisco to buy a $9 smoothie or a $300 pair of shoes. And the $5 per square foot rate that the new shops are paying at Abbott Square - with percentage rent provisions to boot, while certainly a contributing factor to the rising price of blended fruit - is also pumping money back into the economy by giving the local owners of those properties more money to spend back into the community.

Our interaction with Silicon Valley bears resemblance to the love-hate relationship shared between the locals of any number of tourist towns with the outside visitors whose dollars fuel their economies. The difference here is that many of the outside visitors have come here to stay full-time, and are now becoming the new locals. And like it or not, along with the emerging new breed of locals, the standards for education, recreation and housing have risen as well.

I would like to believe that through the process of intelligent growth, we can at least retain some of the core characteristics that ‘Keep Santa Cruz Weird’ and that we can make it possible for the maximum number of people who live here be able to stay, while not losing the essence of what drew us to this beachside town in the first place.

Exploring just how we can achieve that is the challenge that lies ahead.

The challenge for the old guard - at least, those dating back to ancestors who displaced the Ohlones - has been to find ways to adapt and to tap into the economic wellspring that has swept into the area in order to able to keep pace with the rising cost of virtually everything, as things continue to grow and evolve. And with the tide starting to shift increasingly from NIMBYs to YIMBYs involving key issues like housing density and infrastructure, it will be interesting indeed to see how things continue to transform over the course of the next 25 years.

KAYAKER’S GARDEN Kelp is one of several seaweeds that Ian O’Hollaren harvests by hand for his company, Seaquoia Wild Seaweeds.

He teaches a seaweed culinary class at New Leaf from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28. PHOTO: IAN O’HOLLAREN

Ocean Harvest

L

ight brown blades of wakame seaweed turn a brilliant green when submerged in hot water and then plunged into an ice bath.

Though wakame is one of many seaweeds that can be eaten raw, the blanching process tenderizes it, and the color change, perhaps, amplifies its culinary appeal.

“If somebody doesn’t love seaweed already, they’re not usually attached to getting it on their menus,” says Ian O’Hollaren, founder of the new Santa Cruz-based Seaquoia Wild Seaweeds. But that could be about to change, as consumers catch on to the abundant supply of nutrients

and minerals this ancient superfood provides the body and learn ways to incorporate it into their diets.

Wakame is one of several varieties of briny sea vegetables O’Hollaren harvests—with a wet suit, a knife and a kayak—north of Santa Cruz.

In waters pristine from an absence of ag runoff, O’Hollaren has become familiar with at least 14 different “gardens” of seaweeds, including sea palm, nori, kombu, cat’s tongue, and the succulent and delicate tendrils of mermaid’s hair, or ogo. Cold calls and emails aside, O’Hollaren plucks from his secret gardens regularly to fill orders for three high-end restaurants in Venice Beach, as well as consumer

orders on an as-needed basis. He will also soon sell his fresh, raw, wild seaweed in the produce section of New Leaf markets.

“Seaweed contains the broadest range of minerals of any food, and it contains pretty much every mineral found in the ocean, which are the same minerals in human blood,” says Madia Jamgochian, nutritional consultant and classroom education coordinator at New Leaf. Jamgochian calls the often-overlooked seaweed a “booster food” because, similar to spirulina and nutritional yeast, its benefits can be reaped in as little as a tablespoon. Up to 36 percent of its dry mass is made up of mineral elements

The one-man-operated Seaquoia Wild Seaweeds provides a local, sustainable source of nutrition BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

drawn from the sea, including calcium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, cobalt, iron, zinc, potassium, B vitamins, iodine, copper, selenium, and a large proportion of iodine— important for thyroid health. Proteins, amino acids, antioxidants and omega3s are also abundant, and studies have shown seaweed to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, detoxify and boost the immune system.

But what I like most about O’Hollaren’s operation is that although he’s capable of piling 150 pounds of superfood into his kayak, he’s not out for quantity. At the core of his ethics is a conscious choice to keep his harvest sustainable.

“The plant is held by a holdfast,” he explains. “It doesn’t have roots … So what I do is be very gentle about cutting it from the plant, and making sure I don’t rip it off the holdfast so that it regrows. So I’ll just pull from one garden and then let that rest for however long it needs.” He’s also conscious of what time of year each variety shoots out spores, which settle and grow into new fronds. “I don’t go out and have a bunch in my fridge, and if I have excess I compost it or eat it or give it away. There should never be any waste,” says O’Hollaren.

In a world where much of the seaweed we eat is imported from seaweed farms overseas—many of which dump fertilizers directly into the ocean—it’s refreshing to now have a local, wild source.

In addition to harvesting the highest quality seaweeds he can find for consumption, O’Hollaren also makes a liquid kelp fertilizer that he supplies to local farms.

From 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept 28, Jamgochian and O’Hollaren will lead the first-ever seaweed cooking class at New Leaf, where participants can taste a variety of brown, red and green seaweeds (a combination of these three types is recommended for a full nutritional profile), as well as learn how to turn them into salads, dips, hearty soup stocks and more.

NEWS POLITICAL ENLIGHTENMENT The Buddhist priests teaching dialogue in a polarized world

SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

12

Jaku Kinst, a Buddhist priest at Ocean Gate Center on 41st Avenue, recently had what has become a typically treacherous conversation with a family member— which, if handled differently, could have easily gotten out of hand. Kinst doesn’t want to say who she voted for in the 2016 presidential election, but suffice it to say, her candidate did not win. Still, Kinst wanted to talk politics with a loved one she knew had voted for Donald Trump, in the hope that they might both reach a deeper sense of understanding of one another’s views.

She approached it with an awareness of the one element in any discussion between two individuals with clashing viewpoints that she considers more important than all of the rest: the mindset going into the dialogue.

“The primary focus that I had going into the conversation was to remember that I love this person, to remember that I wanted to be gentle and kind and not judgmental, and to be open to listening to their point of view,” says Kinst, who will be co-teaching classes this fall on communicating peacefully in our fierce political climate.

After Kinst made herself open to listening to what he had to say, she realized she could then share something about her own point of view. And her family member was very receptive to her thoughts. “We had a good conversation,” Kinst says, laughing.

Kinst will be leading the workshop series alongside her partner and fellow priest at the Ocean Gate Center, Shinshu Roberts.

Together they’re trying to start discussions in an era that, according to poll data, is as polarized as ever.

There’s an unfortunate perception, according to Kinst, that Buddhism is something practiced up on a hill—its teachings only applicable “outside of time or outside of ordinary life,” she says.

“And just the opposite is true. As we say, we’re not liberated from the world, we’re liberated to the world. So our whole lives are oriented toward being kind and respectful, and to alleviating suffering in ourselves and others.” >16

Shock Waves

Has no one noticed the KSCO talk show host decrying ‘white genocide?’ BY MAT WEIR AND JACOB PIERCE

L

ast month’s revelations of O’mei owner Roger Grigsby’s support for former KKK leader David Duke sent a chill down the spines of the Chinese restaurant’s biggest fans. Even more so, the news seemed to be a wakeup call to many stunned locals that the kind of racist politics seen in Charlottesville could exist here, within the liberal bubble of Santa Cruz.

After all, there aren’t many places boasting more fading Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders bumper stickers than decidedly left-leaning Santa Cruz, and according to voter registrations, our enclave is the third-most Democrat and the fourth-least Republican county in

California. But financial support for the U.S. Senate campaign of outspoken racist Duke crossed a line that filled locals of all political persuasions with a boiling anger that soon exploded on social media.

Talk of an organized boycott had barely begun to foment before the restaurant’s wait staff apparently walked out—according to an interview Grigsby gave to the Santa Cruz Sentinel—prompting the restaurant to shut down suddenly, and the city to heave a collective sigh of relief. After all, white supremacy isn’t something that is tolerated in this city, right?

But for all of the outrage directed at Grigsby, there is another high-

profile local who regularly spews Duke-like views that many would find just as morally repugnant— one who seems to have so far been immune from the same massive backlash that shut down O’Mei. And no one has to go digging through public records to find her.

That’s local KSCO talk show host Georgia Peach, who routinely asks questions, like “Why is it that only black people loot in a crisis?”—as she did shortly after Hurricane Harvey on Wednesday, Aug. 30.

During that same broadcast, she compared Santa Cruz’s Beach Flats community, a predominantly Latino, low-income neighborhood, to a “third-world country.” >14

She accused Santa Cruz’s entire city government of being run by communists and wished UCSC a “nasty, fast death” for being a “communist school.”

She opened the show by decrying a “white genocide” that she claims many Americans have been simultaneously ignoring and perpetuating.

“Some of you don’t care about your future, the future of your children, the future of this country,” she mused in her opening remarks that afternoon, particularly upset over O’mei’s closure. “Our president is fighting these battles every day, and all you do is demonize him. You don’t seem to care that white people are being replaced. After all, we’re all Americans, so it doesn’t matter that other races will dominate this country built by white Europeans.

Everything you enjoy in this world was given to you by the whites, starting with the light bulb. But let’s not honor that. Let’s get rid of that, along with all the statues and monuments that represent white history. In the future, no one will ever know whites walked the earth. And you defend this? You people of other ethnicities defend this because you feel victimized for being born in poor countries, so everything is owed to you? Why don’t you stay or go to your own countries and make them great, instead of sucking off the American people and their hard work, while you turn your country into a third-world hell hole, like the one you ran from.”

Michael Zwerling, owner of right-leaning KSCO (1080 AM), says he sees no problem with Georgia’s broadcasts, declining to get into the specifics and deferring instead to the Constitution’s First Amendment protections. “Who’s going to be the arbiter of what’s acceptable speech?” he asks.

Columnist Bruce Bratton, who Georgia calls part of “the Santa Cruz media wing of Antifa,” had never listened to the twice-weekly broadcast before GT called him up.

After hearing her Aug. 30 show, Bratton felt troubled—not so much by her personal attacks, as by the worldview that she’s sharing with

listeners around the Monterey Bay. “Good Lordy, Lordy,” he says.

“The ethnic-racial divide is something that she’s perpetuating over and over and over again, and talking about how David Duke is such a wonderful-thinking person. And this is someone who is anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish, and was the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. When she stands up for someone like David Duke, that’s really something,” Bratton says.

In the age of fake news, Georgia and her colleagues have earned a reputation for playing fast and loose with the facts. While defending Duke’s talk of white separatism, for example, she could not say what position the former Klan leader had been running for, just “some seat in the government.” (He was running for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana.) Her co-host Sam Quinten claimed later that week that Grigsby’s donation was made “many, many years ago.”

(It was actually made in August of 2016.) Georgia spreads falsehoods about everything from the history of slavery in America to the antifascist movement.

Zwerling says the station, where all shows are archived on KSCO. com, and its staff don’t have time to fact-check everything, and errors are bound to slip through. Although Georgia’s critics see something more toxic, Zwerling thinks certain talk shows should not be taken as news commentary, but instead as opinion, like Rush Limbaugh—a format bordering closer to pure entertainment, he says.

Zwerling says he actually used to be friends with Grigsby, before eventually blocking Grigsby’s phone number after an inundation of messages from the O’mei owner linking to anti-Jewish literature.

Zwerling, who’s Jewish himself, says he couldn’t maintain the friendship, and he admits it may sound puzzling that he would go out of his way to defend Grigsby, as he’s done— especially given the restaurateur support for Duke, a Holocaust denier. But Zwerling doesn’t think the owner’s beliefs should get in the way of his business.

Grigsby could not be reached for comment.

These days, the state of American

discourse may indeed be in bad shape, according to KSCO station manager Michael Olson, if the station’s callers are any indication. “Instead of picking up their phones, calling in and saying, ‘Look here, Bub, I don’t agree with you because of this and this and this, they shout you down. Which, to me, is the most frightening thing on Earth,” Olson says.

But on the topic of speaking freely, Georgia, who declined to be interviewed, has a knack for shouting over people, too, sometimes hanging up on people she declares to be “communists” on air.

Freedom of speech has remained one of Georgia’s favorite talking points, though. It was part of the defense she made of Grigsby last month, in one of her impassioned rants. She later told GT via email that the reasons behind her segments were nuanced.

“It is not just a freedom of speech issue. It is about the rights of American citizens. The right to privacy, the right to donate, the right to have political views,” writes Georgia, whose show airs every Wednesday and Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. (Grigsby’s donation and address were public record, per federal election guidelines.)

Georgia became so fired up over the O’mei issue that she informally quit while on the air. She was out of the studio for the next show on Friday, Sept. 1, but back the following week—after what she later called a misunderstanding between herself and Zwerling.

Georgia’s show is hardly the only one on KSCO that stirs up controversy. The station is also the local home of Limbaugh and Dr. David Biles’ weekly “Perspectives” show, for instance, where the local dentist shares views about chemtrails and his distaste for vaccinations. KSCO has plenty of other local programs too, among them Olson’s own “Food Chain Radio,” as well as Rachel Goodman and Joe Jordan’s environmentally focused “Planet Watch.”

For KSCO’s attempts at diversity, there have been signs of strain on the airwaves, as hosts like Charlie Freedman and Georgia have recently criticized their colleagues over the microphones. Georgia even criticized Zwerling and Olson for not >18

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT Jaku Kinst (right) and Shinshu Roberts are two Buddhist priests teaching classes on how to better communicate in a polarized, politically charged

environment. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

POLITICAL ENLIGHTMENT <12 Kinst and Roberts’ new four-class series starts Monday, Sept. 18 and runs through Oct. 9. During each workshop, the two will pick and choose from the 10 Buddhist precepts and apply them to everyday lives, as part of a bigger discussion about fostering meaningful conversations. People who develop these skills, they feel, learn to overcome feelings of anger and fear along the way.

Roberts says that in order to have a good dialogue about a contentious politicized subject, it’s important for each individual to “stay in one’s body,” stay grounded and keep breathing evenly. Because if anyone gets too excited, things can get ugly.

“It’s a physical act when you get riled up. We need to be able to tackle our own bodily sensations and find calmness,” says Roberts, whose book Being-Time will be published this spring.

Kinst also advises that people should give up on any need to be right or to convince other people of one’s viewpoint.

Sure, that might all require someone to make themselves a little vulnerable, but the payoff in the long run, she suggests, is something much more powerful.

“Along the way, we have to let go of our agenda. If our agenda is to be right, we have to let go and have our agenda [instead] be to connect to one another,” Kinst says.

“That’s a really difficult thing to do. And

so doing these practices are not easy, but they’re very worthwhile, and they make a huge difference in our lives and the lives of others, throughout our day—not just in difficult conversations, but when you go to the supermarket or drive your car— whatever.”

As it pertains to tough discussions, Kinst says, both sides in this process usually reach a sense of understanding that makes everyone happy.

And these skills apply to people of all left-leaning and right-wing persuasions, Roberts explains—beyond traditional breakdowns of Republican and Democrat.

Kinst says it can take an enormous amount of bravery to get into honest discussions

about important topics like racism or global warming. But when individuals get it right, it also shows great kindness.

“People think that kindness means being always soft and never being vigorous,” Kinst explains. “And part of what we want to talk about is that you can have a very strong, vigorous, heartfelt response to circumstances—and have it be kind.”

The four-week series of classes on creating dialogue in difficult times runs Mondays from Sept. 18 to Oct. 9 in the Ocean Gate Zen Center, at 920F 41st Ave., Santa Cruz.

A $10 donation is suggested for each class, but organizers will not turn anyone away for lack of funds. For more information, email shinshu@cruzio.com.

denouncing the “communists” that she thinks run UCSC. Zwerling, whose family has owned KSCO since 1991, says the station is losing roughly $40,000 a month, as reported by the Santa Cruz Sentinel in July, although he says KSCO operating on a deficit is “nothing new.”

Amid the station’s apparent financial insecurity, the on-air tension at KSCO has, at times, felt almost palpable, as when Zwerling joined Freedman, a longtime talk show host, on his Thursday, Aug. 31 show. Zwerling was sitting in to discuss O’mei’s closure, a topic that seemed to rattle him harder than it did Freedman. At one point Freedman briefly turned down Zwerling’s microphone to get a word in, which prompted Zwerling to yell that he wanted it turned back up.

“Don’t ever turn my mic down. I’m the reason you’re here!” Zwerling yelled, after taking the controls. “Get it? Don’t ever, ever, ever turn my mic down. Ever again. Ever again! Do you understand?”

That same afternoon, Zwerling criticized staffers for not better promoting the station and even hinted that the station’s days may be numbered. “I guess it’s only a matter of time before KSCO has to close its doors like O’mei did, because you’re a Trump supporter and because I’m a Trump supporter,” Zwerling told Freedman.

But is that really Zwerling and Georgia’s worst nightmare, or more of an exit strategy for themselves and for KSCO? After all, at a station that’s troubled by infighting and financial struggles, liberals sound like an ideal scapegoat for KSCO’s conservative fans.

Perhaps an even better question is: was O’mei’s closure really an attack on free speech, as Georgia suggests?

Brenda Griffin, president of the Santa Cruz County NAACP, doesn’t see it that way. She notes that the First Amendment was written to protect people’s speech from government interference and censorship, not from other individuals, who are also allowed to speak their minds and even vote with their dollars.

“In my mind, unless folks physically went there and boarded up the restaurant or vandalized it,” she says, “I don’t see people not supporting [O’mei] as censorship.”

Our writer wanted to be the first person to hike the newly re-opened trail up Mt. Umunhum, the highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened. BY AARON CARNES

R E H

PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

11:30 A.M.

22>

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2017

Shortly after finishing the first mile of my hike up Mt. Umunhum, I look up at the large, mysterious rectangular structure at the top for the 20th time. It feels just as far away as it did at the beginning of the trail, effectively deflating any sense of progress I’d made.

If you’ve spent as much time hiking trails in the backcountry as I have, you’ve experienced a “false peak”—meaning you spot what you think is the top of the mountain, only to learn after much exhausting hiking that the spot you had your gaze locked in on was only partway up. Mt. Umunhum is the exact opposite: there’s never any doubt about where the summit is. It’s constantly reminding you—taunting you, one might say.

I won’t spend too much time complaining about how out-of-shape I am, or how hard this measly 3.7-mile hike is turning out to be. I have gone on multiple backpacking trips that exceeded the 100-mile mark, and I’ve survived to wolf down the mandatory victory burger. But I haven’t hiked in a while, and the opportunity to do this hike came up rather suddenly.

I don’t care. For the past year and a half since I heard this trail was opening, I’ve wanted desperately to be the first civilian to climb Mt. Umunhum, reach the 3,486foot summit, and touch that building on top with my own two hands. So I keep my head down, and put one foot in front of the other, following my guide Brian Malone.

That’s what you do when your mind wants to make it to the top of a hill, but your body wants Scooby-Doo and a bowl of Captain Crunch.

Obviously, I’m not the first person to ever hike this trail. The guy walking right next to me, a 51-year-old employee of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (the nonprofit that owns this land) has done it several times—Malone even remarks at one point that he “hasn’t hiked the whole thing in a while.”

But it hasn’t been open to the public in decades, and hikers have been waiting to bag this peak since Open Space acquired the land in 1986. When it finally opens to the public on Sept. 18, they can add it to a short list of accessible peaks that can be hiked in the Bay Area (Mt. Tam, Mt. Diablo, Mt. Hamilton). It’ll be open to hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians.

Malone has worked for Open Space for 27 years and knew this long-awaited opening would take time. “I’ve been telling people that have been asking, ‘probably in about 20 years,’” he says. “There was some point in there where I was correct.”

Malone is chipper; he tells me that I got him out of some meetings today, and now he gets to spend the morning hiking and telling me about the trail. The department he manages (Land and Facilities) worked with Midpeninsula planning, engineering and natural resource staff on the design and construction of the trail, and he’s proud of the result. It’s a good trail: well-graded, frequently shaded, nice views. I’m thinking right now that I would enjoy it a lot more if I was in better shape, but what can you do?

10:15 A.M. The day starts when I meet Malone at the parking lot on Hicks and Umunhum roads a little after 10 a.m.

The drive from San Jose proper was short and pleasant; you drive past the Guadalupe Reservoir on your left, and you weave past bicyclists that spend more money on stylish bike clothing than I make in a month.

I get out of my car and Malone’s hand. He’s been waiting for me for about 15 minutes, but doesn’t seem annoyed. He’s a friendly man with a gruff voice that reminds me of Dauber, the loveable sidekick on the ’90s sitcom Coach.

We caravan up Umunhum Road until we stop at another parking lot.

Until recently, this was the farthest you could drive up the road. Part of the three-year construction project to open Mt. Umunhum also involved creating a safe road to get to the summit for those not intent on hiking up the hill to experience the

peak. That’s fine and all, but Malone and I are going to “earn our peak.”

There’s a side trail at the far end of the parking lot, Bald Mountain Trail (.07 miles one way), that leads to a vista overlooking San Jose and Coyote Valley. We head the other direction to the beginning of the new trail. I stare at the building on top of Mt. Umunhum. It looks so magical, so surreal. If I was an alien conspiracy theorist, I would be absolutely convinced that there were alien corpses stored inside, or that “no one knew the origin of this building” (i.e., aliens built it, just like they did the pyramids).

In fact, it’s the last remnant of the Almaden Air Force Station, a general surveillance radar station built to detect a possible Soviet attack.

The base opened in 1957, and was operational in 1958. It was part of a network of similar structures along the coast with the same purpose.

The Almaden Air Force Station closed in 1980. The Soviet attack never came.

At one point, there were 86 structures up there: housing, a pool, a bowling alley, a movie theater, stores. It was too cumbersome for the base employees to go back and forth to San Jose, so they had their own community of sorts.

Clearing out most of the buildings and removing hazardous waste was one of the major hurdles Open Space faced in opening the mountain to the public. It was a long process, which they finished in 2014 with federal funding. The one remaining building is the radar tower, a five-story structure that housed the radar antennae. Today it’s completely empty—and closed to the public (a fact that will likely stir up alien conspiracy theorists, who are not me)—but you can walk right up to it. There was much debate over whether Open Space should remove the building or not. They ultimately decided to keep it based on feedback from the public and a decision by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors in May of 2016 to add the radar tower to the County of Santa Clara Heritage Resource Inventory.

It’s a beautiful day to hike. The sun is out. Birds are flying overhead. The fragrant smells of trees and bushes permeate the air, and the views of San Jose are spectacular. The even grade—it never exceeds 10 percent, Malone tells me—is a nice change of pace after the chaos of so many lessmaintained backcountry hikes. The gentle smattering of fallen leaves on the trail is a nice touch. It makes you feel like it’s fall already. However, the heat of the sun begs to differ.

The frequency of shade helps the hike, but I’m still sweating.

Thankfully, Open Space labored over routing the trail under trees as much as possible. We see madrones, bays, nutmegs, and other trees I don’t know the names of leaning overhead, occasionally resembling a Sherwood-Forest-esque canopy.

There’s a trail that goes all the way to Lexington Reservoir, which that means you could hike the

entire Los Gatos Creek Trail, walk to Lexington Reservoir, hike an additional 10 miles, and then take the newly reopened trail up Mt. Umunhum. I file that info in the back of my mind for future me.

Downhill to the right, around the bend, I see a wrecked, rusty Volkswagen that was probably brand new when it was left here.

I’m always surprised when I see old vehicles abandoned near trails. “A lot of times, it’s old roads where you wouldn’t expect them,” Malone says.

Though in this case, he guesses, it was probably driven off of the road.

We both stare at it for a few minutes, not saying anything, then proceed.

A majority of the 27 years Malone has worked for the Open Space, he did so as a park ranger. (“I spent 25 years telling people that they were trespassing up here,” he says. “It’s going to be great to actually invite people.”) He strikes me as having a highly scientific mind, knowledgeable about little details I can barely fathom. It turns out he majored in Biology and Environmental Studies, graduating from UC Santa Cruz in 1989. At the time, there weren’t jobs at Open Space like the one he currently holds in Land and Facilities.

Maintenance and park ranger work was his way in. It was a role he enjoyed (“I tend to think of myself more as a git-er-done guy than a planner or a scientist,” he says), but at the same time, he’s thrilled at how he’s able to apply his knowledge now.

When I was told I’d have a guide on the trail, I figured that it would be a person making sure I didn’t go off trail and cause damage to the natural habitat, but Malone was a guide in the truest sense of the word, and educated me about everything we saw. He stops a little up the trail and points to a fallen tree on the left: “Oh look, a whiptail lizard,” he says. It takes me a second to see it. The little guy is squirming around. He looks almost snake-like.

“It’s not a rare lizard, but it’s definitely one that shows up more here because of the special environment,” he says.

We gawk at the slithering creature a moment. It reminds me of the vast

PHONE DOWN. At 55 miles per hour, one text is like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. No wonder cell phone use causes 1.6 million car crashes each year.

Don’t be a statistic: never text or talk on the phone while driving. And be aware of any distraction that diverts attention from the road.

Don’t eat, drink or apply make-up while driving. Don’t fiddle with entertainment or navigation systems. Adjust mirrors, seats and other controls before you start the engine. And save any squabbling for your destination.

for me to touch. The razor-thin sharpness of the needles surprises me a little bit, and I stumble back.

“That smell,” I ask, “Is that the nutmeg?” The odor has gotten intense, but it’s a pleasant part of the outdoor experience. I feel like I can taste it. It turns out to be nothing more than bay leaves.

One reason the smells are so strong right now is that crews are still out clearing the trail, so there are fresh-cut branches and brush everywhere. Hiking is all about engaging the senses.

array of lizards I grew up with. As a kid, my land surveyor dad used to bring home reptiles he found while working in the hills of Santa Clara County. We had an aquarium full of them. My favorite was this alligator lizard that I used to hold. He would wrap his tail around my arm. Nobody told me how hostile alligator lizards typically were—I was lucky he was such an anomaly.

Malone points to a tree that looks similar to a Douglas fir, but tells me it’s a nutmeg, not related to the spice of the same name. You can tell it’s nutmeg and not Douglas fir because of how spiky the needles are, he tells me. He holds one out

Just before the mile-and-a-half marker, we see the best view yet.

It’s much of San Jose, including the tiny spot of slightly larger buildings comprising the downtown skyline.

This spot on the trail is called the Guadalupe Overlook. It overlooks the Guadalupe Creek watershed.

The crew even built a special offtrail viewing area. Someone in the crew apparently wandered in this direction when they were working on the trail and found the hidden spot. They decided to add a side trail with a deck and rails and everything.

“If you’re planning on getting to the summit and you make it here and someone in the family’s not feeling it, you can go out and see the view there, and head back,” Malone tells me.

We stop and stare. Why are smoggy cities so beautiful from far away? I imagine what this view would look like back when the valley was just a valley, and the air was clear—even before it was filled with orchards in the pre-Silicon Valley days. The Amah Mutsun tribe, a group within the Ohlone people, are descendents of Native Americans who lived in this general area. Umunhum, as the highest peak in the area, held a spiritual significance for the Ohlone people. (“Umunhum” means “resting place of the hummingbirds” in Ohlone.)

Open Space wanted to ensure that they paid it proper respect, and worked with the Amah Mutsun tribe to do so. They designed and built a ceremonial circle at the summit, and agreed to allow ceremonies there.

Besides the really well-graded trail, a newly designed road to get to the summit, and a nice overlook, Open Space also constructed three bridges to cross three creeks along the trail, which aren’t running at the moment, but will be when it starts raining again. When we get to the first one, Malone lights up, excited to tell me about the installation of the bridges. Most of the construction

happened underground, and required lots of concrete. But the bridges themselves were flown in, since there weren’t nearby roads; helicopters hovering above the creek beds slowly lowered them into place.

“I came out ceremoniously on the last day, it was an incredible amount of work just for that one day,” Malone says.

The closer we get to the top, the less we talk. After a while you get into a Zen state of hiking that transcends any pain you’re feeling, at least for a while. I’m starting to see the building on the top of the summit less as we climb the side of the final hill. Malone feels really proud that they were able to build this trail with as little impact as possible on the ecosystem.

“When it gets to not imposing a structure on the environment, and making it blend in as much as possible, it’s still a heck of a lot of work, if you do it right,” he says.

“The public doesn’t really notice it.”

As we get closer to the top, we slow down. I’m nearly out of water, and do my best to keep my composure. It turns out we aren’t allowed to hike that final half mile, because crews are out working on it. Instead of getting to walk right up to the building and touch it with my own hands, we take the side trail that goes to the parking lot at the top. It’s a little anticlimactic, but I still check this off my list as a completed trail. Malone and I snap a few photos, and I feel accomplished for a few minutes.

“Am I the first person not associated with Open Space to hike this trail?” I ask.

He considers it, and starts listing off people. “Consulting … tractors … regulators …,” he says.

“Yeah, but someone completely unaffiliated with this project?”

“We had a group of bicyclists that was outside that made a promotional video.”

“But what about a hiker? Someone not on a bike?”

He thinks about it.

“I can’t say for sure,” he says finally. “But maybe.”

Good enough.

As in classical drama, the action takes place in a single day, at a single location—the backyard of the Keller home in a suburban American town, circa 1947.

Joe Keller (the dynamic Allen Gilmore) is the genial patriarch, joking around with the neighbors, but concerned for his fragile wife, Kate (an excellent Nancy Carlin); three years after the war, Kate still desperately believes that their MIA son Larry will one day come home.

Their second son Chris (Tommy Gorrebeeck) has returned from the war and gone back to work at the manufacturing plant his father runs. (Gorrebeeck is tentative at first, but brings depth and shading to the part in the crucial second act.) Focused on the future, Chris invites his former neighbor Annie (spirited Sierra Jolene), who had been Larry’s girlfriend, for a visit, intending to propose to her.

Annie is willing, and Joe approves, despite the objections of Kate, who still considers Annie “Larry’s girl.”

Beneath this domestic drama, a thornier conflict surfaces. Annie’s father, Joe’s former business partner, is in prison, after it was discovered their plant sold faulty aircraft parts to the military. Joe was tried at the same time, but exonerated. As the Keller family’s fateful day heads toward its climax, they receive an unexpected visit from Annie’s jittery brother George (a serious turn from Brian Smolin, last seen in The 39 Steps and The Two Gentlemen of Verona at SCS). Fresh from visiting his father, George blames Joe for destroying his family.

The story ignites at the place where blame, idealism, justice, and truth collide, where the

necessity of moving forward confronts the inability to let go of the past. JTC stalwart Diana Torres Koss has some effective scenes as a cheery new neighbor with a WASPish side. And a bubbly Audrey Rumsby, along with Shaun Carroll, lightens the mood as neighbor Lydia, formerly George’s girlfriend, and her horoscopecasting husband, Frank.

This realistic drama plays out in contrast to Kent Dorsey’s highly stylized set. The shape is a frame house with shutters, windows, a screen door and a porch, but every surface is papered over with oversized newspaper clippings about the war, the trial, and stories of MIAs returning home. The backyard furniture is painted in the same buff shade of faded newspapers, as if the war and its aftermath have quietly engulfed the entire house and its inhabitants.

B. Modern’s costume design extends this idea, with the Keller men and their longtime neighbors in muted plaid shirts in the same off-white color range, and khaki slacks. Kate Keller’s beige and blue dressing gown and grey suit also connects her visually to the family’s past. Only the vibrantly colored dresses of the young women, Annie and Lydia, provide a sense of life and forwardlooking optimism against the monochromatic stasis of the Keller family home. It’s a smart visual design for this past-haunted play.

The Jewel Theatre Company production of ‘All My Sons’ plays through Oct. 1 at the Colligan Theater at The Tannery; 425-7506. jeweltheatre.net.

MUSIC

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BAND? Wilsen brings their new album ‘I Go Missing in My Sleep’ to the Crepe Place on Friday, Sept. 15.

Wilsen Unwrapped

T

amsin Wilson recalls sitting in her New York apartment feeling generally dissatisfied and impatient. What jolted her out of this mood was a little centipede that had wandered inside.

“He seemed at peace, just roaming around,” Wilson says. “For a split second, I really envied him.”

This experience inspired the track “Centipede,” which she wrote for her band Wilsen, and which became the lead track on the band’s debut fulllength I Go Missing In My Sleep. It’s a tranquil track that actually captures the feeling of staring at this creature

for just a second, as time seems to slow down (“Oh I wonder how you move/Your hundred little legs/They spin with such grace.”)

“Centipede” sets the tone of the record, which wanders into a sense of calmness that is neither sad nor happy—a strange detached feeling permeates every song. Wilson says that when she wrote the songs for the album, she didn’t really have an aesthetic in mind, but can see in retrospect how she was creating a cocoon for herself.

“It was a period of time when I was really seeking an escape from

the craziness of New York, and just really seeking a bit of stillness,” Wilson says. “I think that ended up encroaching into the songs.”

The band has been playing together since 2012. Wilson, who grew up in the U.K. and later Canada, started the band after finishing college in Boston and moving to New York City.

As a teenager, she dreamed of being in the music industry, but imagined herself working behind the scenes.

The experience of playing with her bandmates and working out songs with them was an “unexpected surprise.”

Indie folk band comes out of its cocoon for debut album and headlining tour BY AARON CARNES

The band self-released a handful of EPs, and slowly crafted this first album over an extended period of time, which was released in April.

When the band started the record, they didn’t have a deal with a label, and they didn’t know exactly what it would sound like. Wilson, the group’s primary songwriter, didn’t show the band the songs until just before their first couple of weeks of studio time was booked. They headed out on tour after that first session, and worked in the studio for another 10 days after. In the months that followed, they finished everything up in their respective homes doing overdubs.

These songs were initially very simple acoustic songs. Like the opening song about a centipede, Wilson remains calm and observational in her songwriting.

“I love people and their stories and their histories, and there are a lot of songs influenced by other people’s histories,” she says.

Through the process of recording, the songs became fleshed out with layers of instrumentation, subtle soundscapes, and emotional flourishes. It’s a gentle work of art.

“It’s a wonderful way of working because we were able to revisit parts, and build parts along our entire timeline,” Wilson says. “It was a huge discovery process for sure. You can wake up in the middle of the night and catch something, or a week later, you might want to change something.”

They hit the road for their first headlining full U.S. tour and stop in Santa Cruz on Sept. 15. They’ve toured a handful of times before, but they were always supporting other acts.

So far, Wilson has been surprised by the number of fans who have turned out for their first U.S. tour as headliners, but it’s also the path she and her bandmates in Wilsen have planned all along: create a slow build and generate fans incrementally.

“Who knows? Maybe now that we’re on a label, things will change.

Top 40 here we come,” Wilson says.

“No, I’m joking.”

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND SOL NOVA

You might be forgiven if you assumed Sol Nova was a Latin band. The core members, wanting to branch out from the reggae they’ve played most of their lives, didn’t want a name that gave away too much.

“We liked to have a name that kept them guessing,” says founder and bassist Aaron Webb.

He describes their sound as “funky rockin’ rootsy soul”—in other words, a whole lot of styles. The members come from reggae groups like Cornerstone and Killah Natives, as well as non-reggae bands Vincent’s Ear, and El Quarto Verde. There is a reggae vibe, and also a bit of funk, soul, jam band and Eastern European music.

SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Whatever the combination of influences, it all boils down to music that feels good to dance to.

“What we really try to do is harness the dance vibe, and bring rhythmic remedies to the people,” Webb says.

There is one member for whom Sol Nova is her first band ever. Much younger than the band veterans, Mariah Martel is actually a friend of guitarist Steve Belick’s daughter. But when the other band members heard her sing, they were completely taken with her voice and asked her to join.

WEDNESDAY 9/13 ALTERNATIVE

THE CHURCH New Wave hit hard at the beginning of the ’80s. But in no time, all the bands that defined the genre splintered off into all sorts of interesting new directions. Australian band the Church had a catchy New Wave-y hit (“Unguarded Moment”) off their first album. But it was on their second, Blurred Crusade, that they really found their sound as a dreamy psych-pop band. If you talk to any Church fan, chances are they’ll proclaim this lush, ethereal record the best the band ever did. At this show, the Church will be playing Blurred Crusade in its entirety. A second set will feature cuts off their new record, and other songs from their catalog. AC

“I’m hoping that she’s able to stay with us, because someone’s going to hear her voice and go, “Uh, why don’t you come with me.’ She’s got this really haunting voice,” Webb says. AARON CARNES

Ever since shedding his career as a sought-after studio artist in 2005, flamenco/jazz guitarist and soul-powered vocalist Raul Midón

RAUL MIDON

has steadily evolved into one of the most dynamic and consistently rousing solo acts in American music. He can thrive in formidable company, like his featured spot on last year’s extensive tour with trumpeter Nicholas Payton and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane in the Monterey Jazz Festival All-Star Band. But he soars highest and most fearlessly when he’s alone, as on his recent release Bad Ass and Blind, a thrown-down gauntlet of an album that Midón backs up with guts, style and jaw-dropping technique.

THURSDAY 9/14 INDIE

SNOWBALL II Snowball II just released its third album. Oh wait, that sounds totally normal. Let me start over—Snowball II just released its third album in a single year. Producer and bandleader Jackson Wargo recorded almost all of the parts himself, and mixes in every subgenre of ’80s and ’90s indie rock that ever existed. Everything from shoegaze to

power-pop, though the band tends to keep things on the catchier side. I’m guessing that Wargo has a Merlin-sized beard, ’cause I don’t know how he’d have time to tend to any basic hygiene tasks while writing and recording so much damn music. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

AFROPEAN

LES NUBIANS When Les Nubians hit the international music scene in 1998 with their debut album Princesses Nubiennes, the duo instantly established itself as a groundbreaking, genre-defying, multi-cultural and talented outfit.

Comprising sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart from Paris France, the Grammy-nominated band has been based in Paris and Bordeaux, France; Chad, Africa; and now, Brooklyn, New York. With roots in slam poetry, a cappella singing and backup vocals for other artists, the Faussart sisters remain one of the most exciting and well-respected French-language, Afropean groups around.

TURKUAZ A “power funk” nine-piece out of Brooklyn, Turkuaz brings deep funk to mainstream audiences by blending driving horns, floor-rattling bass grooves, spot-on drumming and catchy vocals with pop and soul sensibilities. Putting on what’s been described as “bombastic live performances,” the outfit has made a name for itself as one of the standouts of the dance/

funk scene across the country. Add to the mix an attention-grabbing stage show that includes colorful outfits and choreographed dance moves, and you’ve got a dance party extraordinaire. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $22/door. 423-1338.

DAGMAR Hailing from San Francisco, by way of the Iowa prairie, Dagmar is a delicate balance of styles and influences that absolutely works—the type of band that makes you stop what you’re doing and tune in to its music.

The duo pulls inspiration from contemporary classical artists like Philip Glass; indie-folk outfit Fleet Foxes; the soul-baring songwriting of heartland folk and soul music; and, perhaps most appealingly, the tight, complex harmonies of the Medieval era. Described as a “vulnerable vocal-driven exposition,” Dagmar is a group to keep your eyes and ears on. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $10-$20. 703-4183.

What kind of music do you think of when someone says, “New Orleans?”

That’s a trick question—as in, there’s literally a hundred correct answers to that question. One that might have popped into your head is “Cajun music,” which sounds like a mix of hyper country, R&B and swinging jazz. If someone says you need to check out a Cajun artist, you should do yourself a solid and check out Lee Benoit. His Family Band is one of the most active touring Cajun bands riding around the country right now.

And man, can they rip up a dance floor. AC

battered and spiced with the flavor of Nola. The Louisiana Love Act features the writing of Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, with the musicianship of Melvin Seals, Pete Sears (Hot Tuna), Jimmy Vivino (The Levon Helm Band), Greg Anton (Zero) and Phil Colombatto (Sono-Mama) with a blazing Cajun horn section. Part funk, part jazz, part blue and all booty-shaking fun, the Louisiana Love Act is the jam band you never knew you needed. Isn’t it time to put a little love in your life?

Once a year, art and fashion collide in Santa Cruz with FashionART. The multimedia runway show, featuring what can safely be described as wearable art pieces from local and Bay Area designers, is a local highlight and a showcase of outrageous, extraordinary, and absolutely fabulous fashion. This year’s event features visionary artists including the Great Morgani, Charlotte Kruk, Kathleen Crocetti, and event founder Angelo Grova; designers Hill Tribe, Cosmo Chic (Sonia Le), Elizabeth Palmer, the Academy of Art; and much more.

UCSC alum looks back on the life of Dolores Huerta in new documentary BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

A

long-overdue look at a pioneering activist, the new documentary Dolores is first and foremost an homage to Dolores Huerta, who at the ripe age of 87 seems just as vivacious as she was at 25. But it is also, says director Peter Bratt, a political act.

“Film controls the narrative, which ones are pushed and which are left out,” says Bratt, a UCSC alum. “That’s one reason why I was inspired to be a content creator as a person of color, was to challenge media in that way. It’s these critical, important and beautiful voices and stories that make up this country’s complex

history, and as far as I’m concerned, there is room for them all.”

Huerta is a co-founder of the first successful farm workers union, United Farm Workers (UFW). She was a chief organizer and negotiator of the 1965 Delano grape strike—the first time workers successfully negotiated a contract with an agricultural enterprise. She popularized the slogan “Si, Se Puede” and was a pioneering advocate for farmworkers rights at a time when many aimed to keep women and people of color out of politics.

Dolores follows Huerta’s journey as an activist from her late teens to

her split from the UFW. It pits the voices of her supporters, Barack Obama and Bobby Kennedy among them, against Richard Nixon, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly.

Like Huerta, Dolores has something to prove. It’s Bratt’s first go-round at a documentary about a woman that he has a deeply rooted respect for, and who was an icon in the Latino community he grew up in. No pressure, right? He admits it was daunting in more ways than one, not only because she is considered a living legend, but also because of the surprising lack of knowledge and perspective that younger generations

have of her achievements. The question, he says, became: “How do we engage an entire generation and introduce them to Dolores and her work, especially when you are competing with so many other platforms like social media?”

Co-produced and backed by Carlos Santana, the film is an unintentionally timely response to the current political climate. Dolores first screened at the Sundance Film Festival on President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day—where, Bratt recalls, the energy was less than effervescent, despite its ensuing 20-minute standing ovation.

“A lot of people are down. They feel like, ‘What’s the use? My voice doesn’t matter, my votes don’t count,’” he says. “Being around Dolores made me remember that people still have power. People can come together and create change, no matter how bad it gets.”

Dolores is the result of months of archive-combing for clips and photographs spanning seven decades. Though it celebrates her accomplishments, it doesn’t put her on a pedestal. It follows the hardships of her children, who were scarred from the years their mother spent away following her own path.

It acknowledges that to this day, Cesar Chavez often gets more credit than she does for co-creating the UFW. Bratt says he was also inspired by Huerta’s love of music and dance—she wanted to be a professional dancer. In the film, Angela Davis poetically points out that in a way, she was a dancer “on the stage of justice.”

In retrospect, Dolores begins the same way it ends—with a story of hope followed by a modern take on injustices still happening today, framed by some really fantastic music. She was a figure beyond her time facing a society that was not ready for female leadership, or really women outside of the traditional boundaries of home.

If she prevailed, in spite of everything, then maybe we will, too.

Dolores will screen at the Del Mar beginning 9/16. Tickets available at landmarktheatres.com.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK 13 MINUTES Traveling back in time to kill Hitler is like the weather—everyone talks about it, but no one does anything about it. Back in Hitler’s own time, however, one German did make an attempt on his life early in World War II. Georg Elser constructed a bomb to blow up Hitler in a Munich beer hall—but missed him by 13 minutes.

Incredibly, that’s just the jumping off point for this political thriller from the director who inadvertently gave the world the best possible Game of Thrones/ Hitler mashups after re-subtitled versions of a scene with the Führer freaking out in a bunker from his epic Downfall became one of the internet’s favorite memes. Oliver Hirschbiegel directs. Christian Friedel stars.

(R) 114 minutes.

THE TRIP TO SPAIN If you’ve never tagged along on the culinary adventures of comic actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, eating and joking their way through England and Italy in the first two The Trip movies, it may take a few scenes to get in the groove with this third installment, The Trip to Spain.

But if you’ve already acquired a taste for the deadpan improv style and freewheeling mimicry of these guys on the road, make sure your passport is in order, and get ready to laugh.

With Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Directed by Michael Winterbottom. Not rated. 108 minutes. (Lisa Jensen)

IT The new adaptation of what is arguably Stephen King’s defining horror masterpiece is finally here.

Which is a good thing, because if I see one more headline that says “If You Really Want to Have Nightmares, Watch This New Trailer From It” or “This New Clip From It is Sure to Give You Nightmares,” I’m gonna lose it. No, I don’t really want nightmares, thanks! And none of the clips actually did give me any, so just shut the hell up with the hype and bring on the damn clown already! Andy Muschietti directs.

Bill Skarsgard, Jeremy Ray Taylor and Jaeden Lieberher star. (R) 135 minutes.

LEAP! This animated musical adventure film is about an 11-yearold orphan who dreams of being a ballerina, and, against all odds, gets a chance to audition for the Paris Opera Ballet. It features the voice of Carly Rae Jepsen as a mysterious caretaker who helps her. Hey, you just read about this movie, and this is crazy. But your kid will like it, so see it maybe? Eric

TULIP FEVER There really was a thing called “tulip mania” in the Netherlands in the 17th century, when the newly introduced tulip fetched prices so ridiculously high that it created the first “bubble” market. That’s the backdrop of this film, which has an artist falling in love with a married woman whose portrait he’s been hired to paint.

When he and the woman plot how to create a life together, they end up risking it all in the tulip market.

If the tulip bubble was anything like the housing bubble, I’m sure their plan works out great! Justin Chadwick directs. Alicia Vickander, Dane DeHaan, Zach Galifianakis, Judi Dench and Christoph Waltz star. (R) 107 minutes.

Culinary star John Paul Lechtenberg takes the Hollins House to new heights BY CHRISTINA WATERS

F

rom start to finish—from the outstanding octopus to the fresh fig tart—our dinner last week at Hollins House was easily the best we’ve had in years.

The rockstar heading up the culinary team is young executive chef John Paul Lechtenberg, whose handiwork I’d tasted last spring at an al fresco benefit dinner. The food is enhanced every step of the way by the gracious setting—the 1920s home of passionate golfer Marion Hollins, with its dreamy view across the greens of the Monterey Bay and city of Santa Cruz twinkling in the distance.

Our server Angel (an appropriate name) guided us through this memorable meal, starting with a minerally Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc 2015 with a bouquet of pears and honeysuckle ($12). Jack chose one of Jeff Emery’s Quinta Cruz Tempranillos ($13) and proved once again that a well-made red wine can work its own magic when paired with fish.

With the fog below starting to prowl atmospherically along the coast, we began our first dish, a colorful starter of Spanish octopus ($16) that remained our favorite of the meal. On a large round plate

Lechtenberg had created a plump ochre-hued cushion of intenselyflavored sofrito (think purée of peppers, garlic, oregano, tomato and cilantro). Sculptural branches of marinated roast octopus (impossibly tender) were dotted with brilliant green fava beans, grilled lemon and cherry tomatoes, and crimson Jimmy Nardello peppers. The creation was decked with blue borage blossoms and infant coriander flowers. Every bite offered a layering of those piquant flavors, cascades of harmonic flavors. Nothing conflicting, nothing gratuitous. An

edible Matisse full of surprises!

We wanted every single entrée on this menu, from the salmon tartine to the beef and chanterelle pappardelle, but in the end we succumbed to the evening special petite entrée of exceptional fresh local halibut ($17) and splendid diver scallops with Parmesan-laced spinach risotto and roast asparagus ($26).

Our generous pours of wine were busy showing their stuff as we savored the high ceilings, sparkling hardwood floors and the spot-on vintage bossa nova from Stan Getz swirling in the deep background.

Hollins House is one of the rare dining rooms in which you can enjoy exciting food and wine while actually conducting a conversation.

No decibel irritation to interfere with the mood. Heat lamps were being turned on for patio diners when our entrées arrived.

The halibut special showed yet another variation of the chef’s commitment to the freshest flavors of the moment. More of the brilliant red sweet peppers and fat green favas adorned two small stacked filet pieces, impeccably roasted and stacked together on top of a swirl of puréed eggplant. Thin curls of pickled carrots played with the succulent seafood, and yes, the Tempranillo was a terrific partner for every bite of this fine dish. Jack used a piece of sourdough to round up every last trace of this amazing dish. Meanwhile, I sighed over velvety risotto—the kind you fantasize about someday being able to make—surrounded by fat tumescent scallops and the bright tang of heirloom grapefruit, all topped with a thicket of roast asparagus perfumed by tarragon, a micro nasturtium leaf crowning the very top.

Now, about that fig tart ($13).

Consider a generous warm tart made with two figs, Kadota and Mission, whose juices had caramelized along the sides of the incredible pastry.

Michelin, pay attention: John Paul Lechtenberg is taking Hollins House to new heights.

Flynn’s Don Quixote’s to get a new name and menu in Felton BY AARON CARNES

F

or live music fans around here, Don Quixote’s in Felton is an important space, where many cool bands across the entire musical spectrum have graced the stage. Local real estate agent Bradd Barkan has recently taken over the place, and has big plans. For starters, he’s changing the name to Flynn’s Cabaret and Steakhouse, a transition that will likely take place in mid-October. Fret not, he plans to continue bringing great music to the stage. The menu is where he plans to make the biggest changes, and he gave us a preview of the venue’s new direction.

Why are you changing the name?

BRADD BARKAN: That’s a big question that a lot of people have.

There’s a reality to why I’m doing that. Flynn is a friend of mine that passed away about a year ago. He had a shop in Scotts Valley called Cali Style. It was a skate shop/ clothing store. It was right next to Nob Hill. There’s a couple of quotes that are going to be on the menu, that he gave. The biggest thing that he didn’t want was to be forgotten.

Tell me a little about the new concept of the restaurant.

I think a lot of people knew the place needed fresh blood. People eat the food there because they go there for the music, but no one goes there for the food. A higher-end steakhouse with crab legs and lobster and lamb is something that’s going to be a base theme. It’s going to be organic. It’s going to be sustainable. It’s going to be farm-to-table. It’s very important to me. I have a vegetarian and vegan half of the menu that’s not going to be just one or two dishes. It’s going to be half the restaurant. I’m looking to cater to a good chunk of the vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian Santa Cruz crowd in addition to the sustainable farm-to-table concept ... I grew up with a vegan sister, and we fought about places to eat our whole lives.

She was never happy with my choice and I was never happy with hers.

It seems like a natural thing that’s occurring these days. I think we’re going to step it up as far as the music that comes to the venue, and the service that comes along with it.

For lovers of a lighter wine, here’s the .5 Degrees Brix 2016 BY JOSIE COWDEN

O

ne of the most interesting wineries in Carmel Valley is Holman Ranch. Not only is Holman’s tasting patio an upbeat place to visit, but right next door is also a newly vamped-up dining spot called the Holman Ranch Tavern (formerly Will’s Fargo Restaurant).

This very tavern is where we stopped for lunch one day and ordered a bottle of Holman’s 2016 .5 Degrees Brix ($22). Packed with tropical aromas and flavors—melon, banana and papaya—this versatile straw-yellow wine also comes with a burst of fresh spring honey, lemon and apple—adding an abundance of appeal. Made from the citrusy Pinot Gris grape harvested in Carmel Valley, this delicious white wine goes well with pasta, meats such as turkey and chicken, and some fish. Our Cheese Board for Two ($14) and Trio of Salads ($14) paired beautifully with the Brix. For lovers of a lighter wine, this lively Brix is the answer.

Holman Ranch Tavern offers Plates to Share & Pair, which come with their own wines as well as some of their Carmel Valley neighbors’ wines, such as Bernardus, Morgan,

Chesebro, as well as Jarman, which is another label of Holman’s.

Beers are served up, too. A plate of Medjool dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon ($9) comes with the suggested pairing flight of Mad Otter Ale ($8).

In a nutshell, the Tavern is a nifty little spot for light dining and trying out a variety of wines and ales along with some tasty bites.

Holman Ranch Tasting Patio & Wine Shop, 18 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, 659-2640. Holman Ranch Tavern, 16 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, 650-659-2774.

BRUZZONE FAMILY VINEYARDS

Berna and John Bruzzone recently announced that they have closed their Bruzzone Family Vineyards tasting room to the public. They will continue to farm their beautiful vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains but will sell their grapes to other wineries in California rather than making their own wine. As of writing this, they have cases of wine on sale, so contact them if you’re interested. Call 332-0909 or email berna@bruzzonevineyards.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES OUR COUNTRY IN CRISIS For those who have been reading my Facebook pages and my website, you are aware of the weather wars occurring in our country and why they are occurring, the Geomagnetic storms, solar flares, the magma flow creating earthquakes (in six states), Southern Mexico’s 8.1 (largest in a century) earthquake. Aware, also, of the continued West Coast drought and three western states ablaze with fire.

As we see and experience the devastating events occurring in our country, many want to respond. Last week I wrote about giving (a liberating process). Our giving needs to continue in all areas of our country in need.

The resources needed (quickly depleted as crisis follows crisis) must come from each of us. So, we are asked to give and give and give some more. We are always given to, so we can then give more.

There is also another response.

And that is to “stand in prayer with massed intent” (calmly, poised, observing). Prayer and safeguarding for our brothers and sisters in all of the kingdoms (human, animal, plant, mineral). The world prayer called the Great Invocation (given to humanity by Christ at the 1945 June solar festival) is a potent protective prayer. Here is the last stanza that we can recite together: “From the center which we call the race of men (thinking ones). Let the Plan of Love and Light work out. And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Power attend to the efforts of the Great One. So let it be, and help us to know and to do our part for the world.” Standing together with massed intent.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Below that risky and sometimes precarious behavior, there’s a very generous spirit within you that emerges more and more in the coming year. It’s the spirit of sharing, of comforting, loving and nurturing others. This is different for you. You will sense the undercurrents in everyone’s heart and also in the world. You will understand vulnerability more. You begin to heal others. You remember.

You know exactly what you want and how to get it. You work hard, and you are wise, practical and resourceful.

You seem to be creating permanent structures. What are your choices based upon? What principles? Do you know the definition of the word “principle”? This is an important word for the new Aquarian age. You seek tradition along with many alternatives. In all of your success, seek understanding of others. Offer loving kindness always.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 13, 2017

TAURUS Apr21–May21 More and more ideas and information come your way.

You find yourself, for hours, absorbing data needed for health and well-being of self and others. You store it away for future use, sometimes considering attending naturopathic, herb and natural healing school. You already bring in much from previous lives. You reshape the information learned. You write and teach to those in need. You become the Messenger.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 You are always Mercury, the swift-footed courier. With Jupiter in Libra you feel your sense of Right Human Relations expanded. Your senses feel on solid ground, secure with knowledge. Now you need natural settings (nature, gardens, holy waters, temples), more comfort than usual, things artistic, too, that tell you always that spirit (life force) is within matter … everywhere, always, all the time. Introduce yourself to the devas.

Many people admire your courage. Perhaps you don’t think you’re courageous. But you are. After circling tentatively to see if it’s safe, you often reach out to the edges of new experience. You love all things new; yet seek all that’s traditional to surround the new. Sometimes you’re a trailblazer. Your cardinal energy enables you to bring knowledge forth that changes the course of life.

You seek to place yourself where great knowledge and deep spiritual concepts and philosophies can be experienced.

You will go slowly at first, and then leap into a new reality!

It’s important to travel to places with new languages, depths of color and the many arts. Study mountain climbing, horses, religions, archeology, endurance sports.

Begin a spiritual journey, a pilgrimage, across mountains and countries. They offer new states of possibility.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You will see more deeply into all things hidden, sensing the inner essence of life. Use this for the good, the beautiful, and for deeper compassion. Realize you will have to handle in the upcoming year extreme energies, intense and forceful, around you and from within. You must call upon your wisdom to handle, and not misuse, them. You seek mysteries, things sacred, expressions mystical and occult (heart and mind).

Your original faith returns. You help others.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You seek all things stable and steady, moving toward balancing your experiences, creativity, family, friends, partnership, responsibilities. You weigh all options, poised in the middle of all realities. You create harmony and beauty in your home. You turn your gifts into a profession. You seek to right wrongs. You are an artist. Do you know the original definition of yoga? And its many paths? Yoga is a path, a journey, a yoke of goodness. You are “yoga” itself.

Do you know the definition of empathy? Do you sometimes feel compassion for others? Do you feel like your creative abilities are part of your daily work?

In the months to come you will feel a greater depth of faith. What is faith? Esoterically defined, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Many people have faith in you and in your leadership. The other kingdoms (animal, plant, mineral) do, too. They love you.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

You have an inner call that guides, guards and directs your life. You respect the many paths to God, knowing each one leads to God. You never allow your beliefs to shine brighter than others’. Stepping out into the unknown lets you disengage from what’s acceptable into new, unusual, innovative and creative ways that bring forth the new world. The new ideals gestate within you, preparing you for winter solstice.

You seek to understand royalty these days and well into the future. You recognize royalty’s responsibilities, the hope they must instill into humanity who relies on them. You realize the need for cultivation of thought, compassion and confidence—leadership qualities. You also know the need for play, celebration, art, theater and politics and right rhythms to renew your spirit. You see many paths on the road ahead.

You choose the highest and brightest. Star filled.

It’s important to maintain daily, weekly, monthly routines and rhythms so that you can feel efficient, effective and productive.

These virtues actually reflect life standards. They allow you to expand your ability to help others without forgetting to care for self. Your heart always asks, “How can I help?”

You offer deep insights into already accepted systems, by adding the more spiritual approach. You are a server of humanity.

HOW TO MAKE IT In a glass baking dish, season the steak with salt and pepper and rub with the olive oil. Spread the garlic, scallions and bay leaves all over the steak.

Cover both sides of the steak with lemon slices. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Light a grill and brush with vegetable oil. Scrape off the seasonings and bring the steak to room temperature. Season with salt and pepper and grill over moderately high heat until medium-rare within, 3 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain and serve.

DEBORAH RILEY, 12-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

S HOPPER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Founder/owner/manicurist, Lavish Salon Hobbies: Swimming, biking, cooking, hanging out with my husband/watching him cook, walking West Cliff Drive Astrological Sign: Virgo What first got you you shopping here? I like to buy food fresh the day we cook it, and Shopper’s is basically next door to Lavish Salon. So pretty much the money I make at the salon, I spend here at Shopper’s. I shop here 4 to 5 days a week, and my commute is about 30 seconds walking! I follow a particular plan where I first shop the perimeter of the store then the inside. The meat department is my favorite section. I find everyone to be super friendly and helpful. I joke with the girls at the check stands all the time about lots of different things. It’s really fun. I feel well taken care of, from the checkers to the butchers who love me, as they’re always helpful and charming.

Is it your preference to shop local? Yes. And that’s new for me. I used to shop Amazon a lot. Now I want to support local businesses. Whether it’s the Sock Shop, the Flower Shack, Shopper’s Corner, or Lavish, I want them to thrive. We need our local businesses. I think on-site ownership makes a big difference. Shopper’s greatness is due to Jim’s (Beauregard) on-going and in-person influence and contributions. Everybody knows this store and loves it. Everything is quality and not expensive. People who think Shopper’s is expensive — maybe because of its size and highquality reputation — must not shop here.

So what do you like to cook? Anything and everything with chicken, especially Mediterranean dishes containing olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta. I make a mean chicken rollatini stuffed with prosciutto. Shopper’s has a terrific variety of organic produce, and there’s always someone rotating in the newest selections. They have fabulous wines at different price points and offer case discounts. They carry Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and also local favorites Marianne’s and Polar Bear. Something for everyone.

Jim and I support one another. I’ve sent dozens of women here shopping in their paper flip-flops after their pedicures. It’s my favorite place to drop $100!
