LISTEN HERE Diane Cowen is virtual services coordinator for the Santa Cruz public library system, and the architect of the Soundswell project.

Beyond iTunes

Soundswell brings an alternative technology model for music to Santa Cruz, from an unlikely source BY STEVE PALOPOLI

W

e all knew somebody had to find an innovative way to connect the cold, dispassionate circuitry of download technologies with the vibrant energy of a local music scene, providing an online space that allows unrestrained creativity and financial reward for the artists, while offering potential new fans access to their discographies.

But no one thought it would be the Santa Cruz Public Library.

Well, one person did. And then she made it happen.

“I went to library school because I saw libraries were really changing, and becoming vibrant places where things happen in the community,” says Diane Cowen, virtual services coordinator for

the county library system.

This is the kind of attitude that leads to something like to the Soundswell: Santa Cruz Public Libraries Local Music Database project. Using the same Omeka open-source software with which UCSC is building its acclaimed Grateful Dead Archive Online, Cowen is building a collection of songs from local bands that can be downloaded by the public, iTunesstyle, but for free. Meanwhile, the grant money Cowen received to fund the project will go mainly toward paying licensing fees to local bands who submit a minimum of four songs and a maximum of two full CDs. The rates for a two-year licensing fee vary—from $100 for a full-length album of nine or

more songs, down to $50 for an EP of 4-5 songs.

Cowen, a UCSC graduate and longtime library employee who says she “kind of tumbled” into her current position because it gave her a chance to try something new, is now facing the part of the project that may be even tougher than what she went through to get Soundswell funded: getting local bands to fill out their paperwork and get involved. She has been reaching out to local musicians, but admits the process is sometimes “like pulling teeth.” And many bands still haven’t heard about the project, which has the potential to not only fund their musicmaking with some cash, but also bring them exposure to new fans. She wants

to have as many local musicians signed up as possible by August 30, which will be the end of this early “proof of concept phase.”

“This could take off in so many ways,” she says. “I see this project evolving over time.”

Cowen has no interest in taking full credit for Soundswell. “Like all good ideas,” she says, “I stole it.” Specifically, from the Local Music Project pioneered by the Iowa City Public Library. But unlike many who read about what they were experimenting with there, she believed Santa Cruz should have its own version, and she set about outlining it in a grant proposal. She was given $5000 to seed the project, and she believes it can win further funding easily as it becomes an increasingly valuable resource to the local music scene.

She also has help from Jennifer Gallacher, of Santa Cruz Rehearsal Studio and Dancing Cat Records, who has been pitching in on the outreach end, helping her contact local bands.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better community partner,” says Cowen.

The bigger picture is that in a future phase, Soundswell could begin to document the crazy history of the Santa Cruz music scene—which is really more like a series of scenes, each with the reigning bands of their era (Snail, Camper Van Beethoven, Tao Chemical, Slow Gherkin and Devil Makes Three, for example) and countless smaller but equally fascinating bands (Spot 1019, Fury 66, Exploding Crustaceans, Huxtables, etc.)

“It could be the start of a really large archive of local music,” she says. “You have a bunch of old records from so long ago hiding in your library that people can’t really listen to. I see the streamable, downloadable collection of [current] local music as the beginning.”

Local musicians can become involved with Soundswell by contacting Diane Cowen at cowend@santacruzpl.org.

What the Hex As Santa Cruz Weekly reported in our June 19 issue, local occult store owner Birch (born Michael Correll) is currently in the process of feeling out his legal options after alleging that religious discrimination was the reason his lease application was denied in downtown Santa Cruz. He had been hoping to move his witchcraft supply shop, the Sacred Grove, from Seabright to a vacant retail property downtown.

But then the landlord for the property, Robert Mariolo, visited the Sacred Grove and, upon viewing its merchandise, deemed it an unfit match for his open property on Cathcard Street, which was formerly the Happy High Herb Shop.

This week, the Weekly heard back from David Meyberg, Mariolo’s attorney. Regarding Mariolo’s visit to the Sacred Grove, Meyberg says, “Mr. Mariolo looked around the store and was not enthusiastic about the skulls and other items which appeared to be representative of evil.

“From a legal perspective,” continues Meyberg, “Mr. Mariolo, is within his rights, to not select Michael Correll or his business as a tenant. Mr. Mariolo did not indicate, nor hold in any way, his decision was based on religious discrimination…Mr. Mariolo does not discriminate, and your article is offensive to the extent that it reports or even suggests that he is.”

Birch claims the particular skull that Mariolo reacted to is a depiction of Santa Muerte, “a Catholic folk saint that looks a lot like the Grim Reaper.”

Says Birch, “I understand that can freak some people out, but it’s people’s religious beliefs, and you don’t get to just react when you’re ignorant about something.”

Two weeks ago, Birch told the Weekly he was refraining from using magick to exact revenge, and instead, “calling on justice through the regular, legal means.” However, this week he told us in an email that “something is brewing.”

“Others have cursed the space on our behalf, without or consent or request…I would expect [Mariolo’s retail] space to stay open for quite some time.”

Meyberg says he is unfazed by the mention of witchcraft. “In my line of work, I am not concerned in the slightest about Birch’s alternatives for

revenge, because I seem to operate just fine under a myriad of spells and hexes at any given time,” he says.

The Young and the Restless Paul Houghtaling, field biologist for the Santa Cruz Puma Project, was surprised to hear about mountain lion sightings around Neary Lagoon last month. There’s not nearly enough food or space in that 44-acre green space to support a cougar. But sometimes, Houghtaling says, a wild cat will wander until they get lost.

“They could be walking down, and then all of a sudden the sun comes up and people start coming out of their houses, and they’re thinking ‘oops!’

They’re stuck,” Houghtaling says.

No sightings have been reported around Neary since June 17.

Houghtaling, supposes that, if there was a Neary lion, it’s gone now. It might have snuck out the same way it came, probably along the railroad tracks, he says.

“Another possibility is that maybe there wasn’t a lion,” Houghtaling says. “Sometimes word gets out, and suddenly other people are seeing mountain lions, and reporting them.”

Whatever the cause of that sighting, there have been plenty of others lately.

The four sightings by Neary between June 14 and June 17 came shortly after a different lion got trapped in an aqueduct near Ocean Street.

There have also been sightings in Watsonville. Santa Cruz Police deputy chief Steve Clark says there have also been more recent Santa Cruz sightings near High Street and Archer.

Houghtaling says lions born in the early summer or late spring stay with their moms until they reach about 18 months old. The ones that have been seen were probably males born in the fall of 2011. They might be looking for space from other males, who are very territorial and need lots of space, and from their mothers.

“Something facilitates the separation, whether it’s the mom saying ‘you guys are bigger than me, I can’t keep feeding you—you’re on your own,’” he says, “or sometimes hormones just trigger them to get restless.” 0

Anything But Typical Art leaders pick Santa Cruz’s top ‘cultural tourism’ spots

BY GEORGIA PERRY | PHOTOS BY CHIP SCHEUER

W

hen visiting Santa Cruz, there is such a thing as a typical experience. Tourism isn’t a $500 million industry in our county for no reason—we know what we’re doing. “There are baseline things that everyone enjoys, like the weather and sea lions,” says Crystal Birns, City Arts Program Manager for Santa Cruz.

However, for visitors looking for more than the beach-Boardwalk-hotel combo, there is a pulsating world of what city arts leaders are calling “cultural tourism” hiding just under the surface. The trick is to know where to look.

“The number of creative subcultures in Santa Cruz runs thick. So much of the creative action goes on behind the scenes that it can be challenging to see the forest for the trees, especially if you’re a first-time visitor,” says Birns.

Nina Simon, director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, believes our offbeat town brings out something important in its visitors.

“Any kind of travel is about fulfilling this part of your identity that doesn’t exist in your daily life, and I think Santa Cruz has an aspirational identity that is about being unique, being creative and being yourself,” she says.

And while some aspects of visiting Santa Cruz can be a little intimidating to outsiders (like, say, locals tacking up fake shark warning posters at Pleasure Point earlier this summer to scare away newbies), our arts and culture scene is wide open and accepting of people who visit here looking for a chance to fully be themselves. “Nobody’s ever going to tell you to get off their wave at Dance Church, right?” says Simon.

Don’t know about Dance Church? Don’t fret. We’ve got you covered, with a list of top cultural tourism spots hand-picked by Simon and Birns. These are definitely not your typical Santa Cruz tourism spots, but they do represent the uniqueness that brings people here in the first place. Locals are likely to discover a thing or three worth checking out themselves. Read up, then get exploring. There’s a lot here to experience.

1. Ukulele Club If a beach filled with dozens of ukulele players serenely strumming sounds like a scene out of What Dreams May Come, do not be fooled—you are not in the afterlife, you are just in Santa Cruz. “Santa Cruz is home to a number of renowned

luthiers and a uke store,” says Birns.

Our local ukulele club boasts over 50 members, many of whom jam every Saturday morning from 10am to noon on the beach, calling themselves “Sons of the Beach.” You can find them in the sand in front of the Kind Grind Coffee Shop at the harbor, 2222 E. Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz.

2. Dance Church Every Sunday morning for the past 10 years, members of the dance community have come to the 418 Project to dance, roll around on the floor, sweat, hula hoop and experience varying forms of spiritual transformation—all to a meditative New Age soundtrack. “There’s nothing I haven’t seen happen on that floor,” dance church veteran Daniel Mollner told the Weekly. Sundays beginning at 9am at 418 Front St., Santa Cruz.

Public Art Walking Tour

“For a small town we have a ton of public art,” says Birns. “There are murals in alleys, local art on traffic signal cabinets, rotating sculptures on Pacific Avenue and a full-size whale built by a boat builder outside the natural history museum.” Pick up a free walking tour map that showcases 100 pieces of public art from one of the downtown visitor kiosks, or download it yourself at santacruzpublicart.com.

4. Guerilla Drive-In Describing itself as “an outdoor movie theater under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands,” Guerilla Drive-In’s roving film screenings take back the realm of evening entertainment from The Man— screenings are entirely free, and you don’t have to shove Twizzlers down your pants in order to bring them to the theater. Their last screening was in April, at a big warehouse off of Highway 1, so we’re anticipating at least another screening or two this summer. Check out their website at guerilladrivein.org for updates.

J U LY 3 - 9 , 2 0 1 3

Every Sunday just after sunset at Lighthouse Field off of West Cliff Drive (just past the sculpture of the surfer), a mixture of hula hoopers, fire dancers and poi firespinners take to the field and practice their craft in a scene that is hard to describe with words, set to a drum circle soundtrack. “That park just kind of becomes a place where people are doing this mixture of…it’s like, semi-athletic, it’s semi-artistic, it’s just kind of what they’re doing,” says Simon.

6. Saturday Art Markets

PHOTO: Jeff Shanes

Every Saturday throughout July, a different artist collective takes over Abbott Square in front of the Museum of Art and History, filling it with innovative and affordable art—think sculptures inspired by vintage arcade games, cut paper botanicals and handbags made from old bike tubes. It’s great place to find onlyin-Santa-Cruz souvenirs and gifts for the folks back home. Find a schedule of participating artists at santacruzmah.org. From 11am-5pm at 705 Front St., Santa Cruz.

Pizza Dough Acrobatics at Kianti’s

Every Friday and Saturday night, patrons of the Pacific Ave. pizza and pasta restaurant can expect to have their dinners halted by lights dimming, loud music coming in from the speakers, and a full-on choreographed dance presented by the waiters and kitchen staff. “It’s a full show. We have feather boas,” says Kianti’s bartender Danny Kane. After that, it’s time for the main attraction: “They call it pizza dough acrobatics, “says Kane, of the crowd-pleasing performances by World Pizza Spinning Champions (you read that correctly) Justin Wadstein and Jay Schuurman. “They throw it all over the place, and flip it over their heads and under their legs. It’s a good old time.” Fridays and Saturdays at approximately 6:30pm and 8:30pm at Kianti’s, 1100 Pacific Ave.

8. Hiking the Coastal Dairies Land Of course the redwoods are majestic. But for visitors looking to experience a different kind of local scenery, the Coastal Dairies Land is an unmatched, wideopen, peaceful expanse of coastal bluffs and sustainable farms dotted with grazing cattle and almost entirely free from other hikers. Here’s how it’s done, according to Birns: “Drive up Highway 1. Park anywhere between Wilder Ranch and Davenport. Walk from your car over the railroad tracks toward the cliffs. You will bump into a trail. Take that trail where it leads. You will find some of the most amazing views in the world. When you’re done, if you’re up for a lunch treat drive to Davenport and eat at the Davenport Roadhouse. Yum!”

Cabrillo and Live Oak Farmers Markets

A lot can be learned about a town from its farmers’ markets. They provide a chance to scope out how the locals interact, and offer a literal taste of the culture. Here in Santa Cruz, we have a number of great markets. While the Wednesday market in downtown Santa Cruz is always a huge draw, visitors may not know they can expand their horizons by visiting the markets at Cabrillo College (Saturdays from 8am-noon at 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos) and at Live Oak (Sundays from 9am-1pm at 15th and East Cliff Dr., Live Oak). Both markets feature live music, which adds that little something peppy to the hunt for peppers (and other vegetables).

10. Picnic with Shakespeare While Shakespeare Santa Cruz isn’t exactly an unknown event, it’s worth noting that those who come early get access to the first come first served picnic seating up front. “Bring your own bottle, picnic dinner, blanket and chairs, or pillows if you prefer to lounge,” says Birns. “Also bring warm clothes, and make sure to wear socks. Once you’re cozy in the redwood glen, prepare to get a little tipsy and be enchanted.” This summer’s season features The Taming of the Shrew, Henry V and fringe show Tom Jones. All shows are outdoors in the glen. For the full schedule, visit shakespearesantacruz.org. 0

THIS TWINKIE THING, IT AIN’T OVER Chris Best enjoys a ‘Dreamie’ at the Boardwalk’s deep-fried Twinkie stand. Real Twinkies are set to return this month.

More Than a Filling Woody Harrelson’s ‘Zombieland’ character wasn’t the only one craving the return of Twinkies BY GEORGIA PERRY

T

winkies are returning to grocery shelves on July 15, and it is not a moment too soon. Since the snack cakes ceased production last November, thousands of Americans have been up in arms—at least in a feigned, ironic-Facebook-post sort of way. In trying to uncover the story behind Twinkies—their disappearance, reappearance and what happened in between—our reporter was left nearly unconscious on the floor of her apartment. Let us retrace the steps that led to her near-fatal rendezvous with the snack cakes:

1.

Hostess Twinkies are invented in River Forest, Illinois on April 6, 1930 as a log-shaped spongecake treat with cream filling. People eat them, enjoy them, then forget about them for several decades.

2.

The 2009 hit film Zombieland ignites in its viewers a cultish obsession with Twinkies as they watch Woody Harrelson’s character search feverishly for the cream-filled spongecake snack cakes in a zombie apocalypse. Bizarrely foreshadowing the American landscape (minus the whole zombie thing) of just a few years later, Harrelson utters these lines: “Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, life’s little Twinkie gauge is gonna go empty.”

21

3.

After nearly going under a handful of times, Hostess officially files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announces Twinkies and the other cakes will cease production in the United States in November of 2012.

In the wake of the Twinkie collapse, Santa Cruz’s own Boardwalk deep-fried Twinkie stand adopts knockoff Twinkies, codename “Dreamies.”

Audiences are not pleased, according to one teenage deep-fried Twinkies stand employee. “As soon as people ask and I tell them it’s an off-brand, they get upset,” he says. “They just see that it’s not the Hostess dancing cowboy guy and it’s like, they don’t like it.”

5.

In March, private equity firms Apollo Group Management and Metropoulos & Co., owners of hipster idol beverage Pabst Blue Ribbon, purchase Hostess and its recipes, promising to return Twinkies to shelves on July 15.

6.

Our reporter decides to investigate how the Twinkie resurgence will affect the Boardwalk deep-fried Twinkie stand, which she visits on an extraordinarily hot Wednesday afternoon in June, where she encounters the aforementioned Wood in person. She inquires what the off-brand Twinkies taste like. The teenage employee is unequivocal: “No difference. No difference. Exactly the same.”

7.

A couple—Ron and Kim Baioni, from Sacramento—approach the Twinkie stand, looking for Twinkies. Disheartened, they leave upon hearing there are only knockoffs. Ron tells the reporter, “I’ve tried a few of them, and they just had a weird…they don’t taste the same. They taste more plastic-y, more fake. It doesn’t taste like a cake. Especially the frosting is just, ugh.” He suspects the Twinkie knockoffs are made “in who knows where… And I’m like, ehh…it’s probably okay, but I’m not gonna try it.” Once the Baioni’s are out of earshot, the teenage employee shakes his head and says he “guarantees” the reaction is psychological.

8.

Determining she must find out for herself, our reporter purchases one deep-fried Dreamie, which Wood makes fresh for her. Upon taking the first bite, she glimpses the gates of heaven. It is like she has never tasted anything so glorious. Deep-fried dough is a drug of its own, she supposes. Chasing that first high, she consumes the Dreamie in its entirety. Then she feels like crap, and spends the rest of the day in a trancelike hangover. Regarding whether Dreamies taste different than Twinkies, the reporter is not sure. She thinks Dreamies have a thicker cake, less fluffy than Twinkies. But she has not had a Twinkie since, like, the fourth grade. So.

9.

Following up via telephone with Ken Whiting, the owner of the Boardwalk deep-fried Twinkie stand, the reporter learns that sales have been down since the switch to Dreamies. Whiting says he is “anxiously anticipating” the return of Twinkies, which he suspects will be later this summer.

10.

Back at the Dreamie stand, the teenage employee says customers have been excited to hear the news about Twinkies’ return: “Like, I don’t see why they’re so happy. It’s still, like, terrible food,” he says. “But whatever makes people happy.” 0

Peter Apfelbaum's talent evolved quickly, all starting when he began playing drums at age three. By eleven he played in a band and come his senior year of high school had formed a 17-piece Hieroglyphics Ensemble as a vehicle to compose and explore non-traditional musical forms. He experimented with African, Indian and Latin sounds, incorporating elements of blues, funk and jazz. Now his well known avant-garde style reflects that ever present fascination with the way sounds can be fitted together. As a multi-instrumentalist, versed masterfully in jazz piano, tenor saxophone and drums as well as a variety of percussion and wind instruments, this multi-instrumentalist has made an impact on the world music scene for the last 30 years.

Film WARNING: YOU WILL GET WET ‘Storm Surfers 3D’ adds a new level of realism to its big-wave surfing safari.

Surf Advisory

Santa Cruz pro surfer Ken Collins rates the new 3D spectacle ‘Storm Surfers’ BY STEVE PALOPOLI

I

t’s usually not a good thing when the expert you’re relying on is running late. But in this case, it was research.

“I just got out of the water. I’ll be down there as soon as I can,” Ken Collins told me on the phone just a few minutes before the scheduled start of a screening of Storm Surfers, the new 3D documentary from directors Christopher Nelius and Justin McMillan that follows two Australian big-wave surfers through an entire storm season as they seek the most extreme rides they can find.

Collins, better known as “Skindog” to the surfing community, is a pro surfer himself, a Santa Cruz native who was ranked fifth in the world in the final standings of the 2012-2013 Big Wave World Tour, and whose moves at Mavericks last year earned him a nomination in the Billabong XXL Big Wave awards.

Collins agreed to come with me to Storm Surfers to provide some technical perspective—and somehow he did make it on time—while I approached it as a surfing outsider. The strange thing is that we got a lot of the same things out of the movie.

I’ve never seen a movie, surfing or otherwise, that made me feel so much like I was actually in the water. There’s a lot of wave-hijacking spectacle throughout, but even in the subtle moments—the camera bobbing in the waves with surfers waiting for a ride, the pristine shots of glassy barrel walls as our wetsuited heroes glide through them, as if operating on Matrix bullet time— Storm Surfers make you feel soaked.

After so many lame let-downs trying to cash in on the technology, witnessing the power of fully operational 3D in this movie is almost a shock; it affects you not just visually, but viscerally.

Collins had a similar reaction, but he also had something concrete to relate it to.

“The thing that captured me the most about the 3D was watching a stormy set come at you, and you see the chops and you see the wave, and then you see a wave behind a wave, and it gives you that full depth,” Collins said afterward.

“You’re looking in there going ‘oh my god, this wave’s in front of me about to get me, and the next one’s even bigger.’ It immediately kicks in your fight or flight.

You’re going ‘oh my god, I should be running away, I should be trying to get away from this.’ It’s like looking at a train or a bull or something running at you.

The movie nailed that.”

Surfing movies have, as far as I know, never been able to capture that fear factor before, which is ironic since it’s a big part of the rush that thrill seekers like the movie’s Tom Carroll and Ross

Clark-Jones are chasing. But perhaps understandably, fear is not something surfers are known for talking too much about in general. Carroll, a former world champion surfer, does talk about it in the film, though, as he’s torn between his increasing desire to settle down with his family and his partner Clark-Jones’ all-out lust for the Next Big Ride. Carroll’s anxiety quickly becomes one of the movie’s central storylines, as he shies away from the intense action early on, much to the frustration of Clark-Jones.

“He brought an element of realness that you don’t really see too much in surfing,” says Collins of Carroll’s honesty.

“Everybody that rides big waves, there is a bit of doubt every time you paddle out.

It’s life or death.”

Then, of course, there’s Clark-Jones, the total opposite, who is a force of nature in himself in the film, especially on one of the duo’s trips to Tasmania.

“I thought the Ship Stern Bluff was the highlight,” says Collins. “I could watch that over and over and over again. Ross Clark-Jones’ surfing there was top notch.”

Along with the wave footage he calls “spectacular,” Collins was impressed with the way Storm Surfers captured the adventurous spirit of surfing.

“Surfing movies tend to be corny, and kind of miss the mark. In this, they did a good job of representing surfers at their best,” he says. “Those guys are definitely goofy and whatnot, but you’re going ‘wow, they’re real adventurers,’ like Jack London’s Call of the Wild. Those guys are out there chasing a dream, chasing a rush that some people will never understand, or even care to understand. But I totally understand. I see what they’re doing, and it makes me feel young.

happy hour runs all night long at 221 Cathcart St. And then there's Margaritaville, a place that looks and feels like happy hour on permanent holiday.

Besides, there's something about the Capitola Esplanade that makes everybody thirsty. And Margaritaville has got some serious answers. Like Monday through Friday, 3-6pm Happy Hour. And all night on Thursday, which means every beer is three bucks, and the house Margaritas runs only $4.

We've all got our favorite happy hours—my current one is Pizzeria Avanti’s 5-7pm menu discount.

Who doesn't love a great bargain on fine wine and food? Find your own favorite happy hour and quench that thirst on a regular basis.

OLD-FASHIONED FOURTH:

HAPPY FEAT Owners Lou and Christi Caviglia have turned Louie’s Cajun Kitchen & Bourbon Bar into a popular happy hour spot.

C’mon, Get Happy Hour

appy hour. Two words that can put a smile on even the most dismal day. The expression is thought by mixological historians to have had its official debut in the Prohibition Era, but the phrase really caught on in the ’50s, when the cocktail rose to red-hot ubiquity and everything liquid seemed to have an umbrella stuck in it. We here in our snug little Pacific Coast paradise have come to know “happy hour” as a time just before the dinner hour, when drinks—and often finger food, too—are available at reduced prices. While in terms of the

establishment's bottom line, this means that barstools and tables can be kept full even during “off” hours (between lunch and dinner), it also syncs nicely with the post-work hour when you just need to unwind with friends.

Hence “happy hour”—a time to sip something cool and forget the troubles, or brag about the successes of the work day.

You don’t have to look very far in Santa Cruz and its nearby neighborhoods to find a happy hour you can believe in. Like at Louie’s Cajun Kitchen & Bourbon Bar. Happy Hour at this popular 110

Church Street watering hole begins at 4pm and continues until 6:30pm Tuesday-Friday. Well drinks, beer and house wine can be had for a paltry $3.50, while sophisticated sips such as Cosmo, mojito, lemon drop and margarita run you $5, with spicy apps from garlic fries to chicken wings priced from $3-$5.

Let those bon temps roll!

Another downtown favorite, Hula's, offers a daily HH—seven days a week!—from 2-6pm, during which time you can swill tiki drinks, wine by the glass and pupus for a mere $5. And on Tuesday, for reasons as yet unknown, Hula's

Sometimes traditions make a lot of enjoyable sense, like the idea of taking your friends and family to the sprawling Victorian-era grounds of Wilder Ranch for an Independence Day of vintage proportions. Bring a picnic and step back into another era thanks to a live band, games, speeches, flags and a family parade at noon. You'll also be able to purchase food and drink at Wilder from 11am through 3pm. You know where Wilder Ranch is—just north of Santa Cruz off Coast Road… Or laugh until you cry watching the babies, bikes and capering canines at Aptos’ infamous World's Shortest Parade.

Inhale a pancake breakfast at Aptos Village Park, and then sit back and enjoy the holiday silliness… Or bring a blanket, expeditionary amounts of food, etc., and stake out a prime spot on Seabright State Beach—at East Cliff Dr. & Seabright—and savor a glorious pyrotechnic salute to Independence Day. You know how it works. And have a Happy 4th of July.

Hmm, happy hour, happy fourth— there are no coincidences! 0

Local, Organic & Seasonal Ingredients

ROAD WORK Helmut Fritz has revitalized the Davenport Roadhouse after taking over as owner last year.

Helmut Fritz & Erik Soderholm Owner, head chef

H

elmut Fritz has a busy schedule, and a sense of humor. When I show up to Davenport Roadhouse for a scheduled interview, I ask Fritz, the owner, if it’s still an OK time. “It’s as bad as any other time,” he tells me. Fritz and head chef Erik Soderholm took over at the Davenport Roadhouse last year.

SCW: What have the challenges been so far?

HELMUT FRITZ: On the food side, it’s consistency and also to change the perception a little bit. We added stuff to branch out a little bit, to round it, to suit almost every taste.

ERIK SODERHOLM: Not too fancy but not too casual, somewhere right in between, and that’s taken a lot of tweaking and trial and error. When I first got here, I was trying to do stuff that was too fancy. People loved it, but thought it seemed out of place.

What did you put in this tasty chorizo breakfast burrito?

ES: Just chorizo and some of our house-roasted potatoes and black beans and eggs.

HF: It’s done here in-house. We’re not buying, except the tortilla.

What are some of your favorites?

HF: For breakfast, I have it every weekend—the eggs benedict with salmon. It’s a wonderful taste combination. On the weekdays we started almost a year ago with freshly house-made pasta with seafood on top with a lobster cream sauce. Fresh pasta makes a big difference. It’s comfy but it’s light enough, (patting his belly) still OK. How do you prepare duck?

ES: We take molasses, brown sugar, salt and dissolve in cold water. We submerge the duck in that with creole seasoning. That’s the breasts. The legs get cured in the same seasonings—but a dry cure—and then they get submerged in duck fat—confit, cooked really slow in the oven.

Where do you like to eat?

ES: Taqueria Santa Cruz. I eat Mexican food and sushi—Akira Sushi, Geisha Sushi and just about any taqueria and Harbor Café. With sushi, I like to eat cold food from the simple fact of working in a kitchen all day and on the hot line. I just want to eat something that’s cold and has clean flavor.—Jacob Pierce
