LAST ONE OUT TURN OFF THE LIGHTS The county’s Health Services Agency has had nine of its 20 doctors leave since 2011.

Seeking Coverage County doctors say their bosses aren’t doing enough to recruit new blood BY JACOB PIERCE

D

r. Joann Moschella has a clear message for her bosses in Santa Cruz County government: without better compensation, no one will want to work here.

“Family doctors are going to be in huge demand,” says Moschella, a family physician with the county’s Health Services Agency “and anyone who isn’t accommodating for that is making a huge mistake.”

That includes county officials, she says. The HSA, which provides care to those who can’t afford to go anywhere else, has had nine doctors out of 20 leave since 2011. Three were in family medicine, or primary care, like Moschella, and six were psychiatrists.

The county has struggled to fill the vacancies, but as of last week they had filled all but one of the clinic positions,

and all but one and a half of the psychiatric positions.

County doctors, represented by the Union of Physicians and Dentists, are currently in mediation with the HSA, and last week, the physicians signed a petition to the Board of Supervisors about the vacancies, claiming they’re bad for local health.

While discussing whether or not to provide cost-of-living increases, which the UAPD says is essential for filling the spots, the HSA began hiring “extra help” and temporary doctors, or locum tenens, at a cost of $150 to $170 per hour.

Temporary doctors sometimes work at the county for a few months, and then move on. Moschella says the county’s poorest deserve consistent care with doctor they know. Interim health director Rama Khalsa agrees that

when doctors get to know their patients, they’re generally more effective. That’s why Khalsa has lately been requesting temps interested in long-term positions.

“They’ll start as locums, but if they’re good, they’ll move up to the next level, because I do want to fill these positions permanently and not have to transfer patients between psychiatrists,” Khalsa says. “It’s an important clinical relationship.”

The revolving door of doctors has been especially apparent on the psychiatric side, where 10 doctors have come and gone from 2012 to 2013, according to the UAPD. That in turn creates problems for people in need of psychiatric help, causing patients to be shuffled from one doctor to the next.

“If you’re a severely mentally ill

person, it’s a different person every time.

It’s a problem in terms of providing care,” says Sue Wilson of the UAPD. The recently upheld Affordable Care Act will require health care for everyone, and send demand for primary care physicians higher. In Santa Cruz County, that translates to a projected influx of 8,600 new patients who will qualify for Medicare, according to a 2012 report from the local Health Improvement Partnership, and another 15,800 who will qualify for subsidized insurance through the state. County supervisors have approved budgeting for new health positions, including two new family doctors.

Moschella says the ACA will make filling positions even more important.

She also says the new demand will drive up salaries nationwide, making it even harder for the county to compete for doctors fresh out of medical school.

Khalsa counters that the HSA has a valuable asset at its Watsonville Clinic that will keep the county competitive: a federal loan forgiveness program that covers over $100,000 of med school debt.

The UAPD’s media campaign for more compensation obviously isn’t just about filling vacancies. Any cost of living increase would also benefit current doctors like Moschella. “No one goes into family practice to get rich,” she says, “but we also need to send our kids to college and pay our mortgages.”

Khalsa says there are many reasons doctors accept positions and reasons they don’t. She has offered jobs to three physicians this year, all of whom declined, for reasons such as their spouse taking a job in another city.

As the county prepares for the ACA, assistant health director Giang Nguyen is more worried about whether or not the county has enough rooms than she is about doctor vacancies, which she expects to fill. Her staff is currently looking into moving admin offices to make room for patients.

“Access does not equal quality of care,” Nguyen says. “Adding more people may provide more access, but we also really need to improve our outcomes.”0

SC M F | WORD UP

For anyone who doesn’t know, hip-hop battles are when emcees are given a minute of instrumental beats to spontaneously rap over or “flow.” As an extra treat, the best flows are usually attacks against the opponent with a wink, nod and jab in the ribs.

While Sage Francis never dwells too much on the past, he does remember those times with a healthy dose of love and respect.

“I think those battles happened at a perfect time in my life, though I was already on the cusp of losing interest in doing anything that is competition-based,” he explains. “Get in, do your thing, have fun if you can, make a name for yourself if you're lucky/talented enough, and then move on…That said, I do miss the fun of it all. I don't miss the anxiety, though.”

No doubt. Along with his own albums and shows, all of which he takes a hands-on approach with, he also is the head of Strange Famous Records, the label he started in the late ’90s as a way to get his mixtapes heard. Over time he has created an independent label boasting roughly a dozen artists.

“That's what eats up most of my time and energy,” he says. “I do my best to make sure we're able to survive as an indie label.”

Sage Francis’ style of hip-hop is constantly changing. Usually one to hire out producers for his beats, in 2010 he dropped Li(f)e, featuring live bands made up of musicians on the Epitaph records, which was his last album for the label.

“We wanted to make special use of the situation considering all of the musicians that they [Epitaph] work with,” explains Francis. “It was interesting stepping into a whole new process to achieve a different sound than what I'm used to.”

Siddhartha of Slam Meanwhile, SCMF organizer Dawson says of Wakefield: “He is probably the most incredible artist on this whole thing. He makes crowds of grown men cry. It’s incredible what he can do.”

Some people burn for a truth that can only be born out of starvation and tribulation. That’s probably why

Wakefield left his lucrative job as an executive assistant at a biomedical firm, sold all of his worldly possessions, and hit the poetry circuit living out of his Honda Civic. After all, only the Siddhartha of Slam could deliver something like: If you've never been rocked back by the presence of purpose, this poem is too soon for you. Return to your mediocrity, plug it into an amplifier and rethink yourself. Some of us are on fire for THE ANSWER. More than that, he performs it with such conviction it slams you in the gut, because brutal honesty is a rare commodity these days.

It’s this truth that put Wakefield on the spoken word map, earning him two consecutive championship titles at the Individual World Poetry Slam in 2004 and 2005. He has released three spoken word albums (most recently signing to Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records) and three books of poetry, with 2011’s Gentleman Practice as his most recent.

Wright Thinking The spoken word show will also feature Santa Cruz’s own Elliot Wright, who also believes in the stripped-down honesty of the art form.

“To me, spoken word is the most raw form of emceeing. There’s nothing to hide behind except your words and opinions,” says Wright.

“Which for most emcees, is the reason why they do it to begin with.”

Known locally as the front man for conscious hip-hop rockers Eliquate, Wright lives and breathes language, constantly writing rhymes and practicing his delivery. In 2010, he graduated from UCSC with a B.A. in Literature and plans to drop Eliquate’s first full-length album, A Chalkboard’s War Against Erasers, in August.

“There’s so much music in 2013 about escapism, and slam poetry allows a way for us to see the human flaws we all have,” Wright states.

“Poetry is not about escapism as much as it is about relating to one another.”

Just looking at them, it’s hard to believe this quartet of Santa Cruz teens has been playing since 2007—when the members were barely 12 years old. However, all doubts disappear as soon as they start playing. The reggae-rockers were voted one of the

top 10 teen bands at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) convention in 2010 and 2012. Plus, they’re playing a FREE stage so there’s no excuse not to support a great local act. Woodstock’s Pizza, 4pm.

BUDDY WAKEFIELD

A poet’s life is as interesting as his words, and this two-time Individual World Poetry Slam champion (2004, 2005) is a perfect example. In 2001, he walked away from his executive assistant position for a biomedical firm, sold his possessions and moved into his car to tour the poetry circuit. Since then he has written three books, recorded three spoken word CDs (one for Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records label) and is known as one of the top slam poetry artists today.

His words will move your soul and take your brain for a spin. This show will definitely be packed, so get there early. Kuumbwa, 4:50pm.

CLARK KENT

At only 20 years old, Santa Cruz DJ Clark Kent is already making a name for himself in the dubstep world. His original tracks and remixes pour through different genres of music, creating a diverse mix of heavy beats and sweet melodies. Rosie McCann’s, 3:35pm.

THE COUP This Oakland-

based, political hip-hop group has been blazing the scene since 1990, writing rhymes to empower the powerless and remind people of their rights. Founding members Boots Riley and DJ Pam the Funkstress just released The Coup’s sixth fulllength album, Sorry to Bother You, last year, so there will be a whole new

Catalyst Atrium, 11pm.

ELIQUATE Five-piece

socially conscious party rockers Eliquate have been playing the Santa Cruz scene for three years, tirelessly writing rhymes and perfecting their live performance. After a few Kickstarter fundraisers, the band bought and fixed a school bus, then embarked on a U.S. tour last April. In the past three months since returning, they recorded their first full-length album, which will be dropping in August. Catalyst Atrium, 8:45pm.

MAGIC BRONSON

Hailing from the City of Angels, Magic Bronson is a producer duo whose “California-in-the-summertime” dance beats recently landed them a contract with the digital label Woodlake Records. Matthew Lieberman and Michael Nicastro first met in 2009, after each had played in various bands throughout the L.A. scene, and decided it was time for something new. Without relying too heavily on the bass, Magic Bronson creates fun pop music that floats through the room leaving shaking hips and smiling lips. Streetlight Records, 5pm.

ROADKILL GHOST CHOIR

MIDI MATILDA

One of 2013’s breakout indie artists, with over 100,000 views on their debut music video, San Francisco-based electro-pop duo Midi Matilda is definitely having a moment. Self-described as “Daft Punk meets the White Stripes” (they’re heavier on the Daft Punk), Midi Matilda is for anyone who loves dancing to ’80s pop under the neon lights. They’re being hailed as one of the top bands to see at Outside Lands this summer, so beat the crowds by catching them at SCMF. Blue Lagoon, 11pm.

MY SATELLITE

This darkwave pop quartet has played the Los Angeles circuit for a couple of years now, earning a mass following of over 10,000 people on Facebook.

Their music is a hallucinatory daze of colors and sounds, dreamily taking its audience to wherever their minds allow. I couldn’t even tell you where I saw them perform, I just remember how captivated I was by what I was hearing. It’s an experience I’ll be looking for again at SCMF. Streetlight Records, 6pm.

NATIVE SIBLING

Native Sibling is an appropriate name for this brother-sister duo from Santa Cruz. Ryan and Kaylee Williams summon the natural sounds of their hometown mountains to play a delicate and graceful style of folk.

Their deeply rich and emotional music floats its listener down a cool river of dreamy ballads safely to a place called “home.” Streetlight Records, 1pm.

PLANET BOOTY

If you’re looking for a party, then San Francisco rockers Planet Booty will funk you up. Outrageous costumes, choreographed dance moves and spaced-out electro-synths blending disco, 80’s and gospel funk make Planet Booty a full-sensory show. If James Brown, Rick James and Giorgio Moroder ever got down together, Planet Booty would be the love child.

Blue Lagoon, 9pm.

REDLIGHT DISTRICT For the love of Jimi

Hendrix, go see this band! The Redlight District is a true rock band in every sense of the word, with their psychedelicdipped blues riffs, steady rhythm section, soulful keyboards and frontman sex appeal. Streetlight Records, 7pm.

ROADKILL GHOST CHOIR

As their name suggests, Roadkill Ghost Choir’s music is an eerie slice of Americana. Born in Deland, Florida, RGC comprises six guys who list their band interest as “long hair,” and play a blend of rock flavored with folk and dusted by the road. It’s what Neil Young would’ve sounded like if he’d never discovered the distortion pedal.

Kuumbwa, 6:30pm.

SMASHELTOOTH

Born in punk rock, raised in reggae and giving birth to the latest in trap and dance floor hits, Santa Cruz DJ Smasheltooth never lacks mixes to play. Lately, she’s been making a name for herself on the festival circuit, spinning at the Bounce Festival along with both Emissions and Raindance campouts. Wherever she performs there’s sure to be a party, and the Santa Cruz Music Festival is the perfect place for the tiger to show her fangs. Motiv, 7:30pm.

VULTURES AT ARMS REACH

Playing together for barely two years, this Santa Cruz sludge-filled doom trio already has two EPs under their dark hoods, with rumors circulating of a full-length album later this year.

Their vocals are brutally hurled down a cliff by an avalanche of sound coming from the guitar and rhythm section. Vultures At Arms Reach will expand your mind by grabbing a hold of your eardrums and pushing them through a meat grinder of metal. Blue Lagoon, 7pm. 0

From a punchline to 100 bands in one day, a brief history of SCMF BY STEVE PALOPOLI

rian Crabtree and Thomas Dawson get some crazy ideas.

The kind that even DNA—the Santa Cruz underground comedy czar who is himself known for almost nothing but crazy ideas—thinks are too crazy. They don’t always know it, though, which is why they suggested to him the idea of adding a comedy showcase to their upcoming Santa Cruz Music Festival, which they’ve spent the last year building from the ground up.

“He was like ‘you’re insane. I don’t want to do anything with that!’” remembers Dawson. “That was months ago, and then we came back to it and said ‘We still want to do comedy.’”

Their persistence won over DNA—like it did so many others. He helped them add a breakfast comedy showcase at Rosie McCann’s to the Santa Cruz Music Festival’s debut on July 20, which will bring 100 music and spoken-words acts from across genres to 11 stages in seven different venues around downtown Santa Cruz.

“I have a feeling Brian and myself are going to be the butt of a few of these jokes,” says Dawson. “I have four friends performing. Rachele Friedland said most of her set is going to be putting down me.”

If the pair don’t mind a good comedy roasting right now, it may be because everywhere else, people are finally taking them seriously.

Crabtree, who got his promotions start organizing Battle of the Bands showcases for Your Music Magazine, and Dawson, who manages the local hip-hop group Eliquate, knew it wasn’t going to be easy when they started planning the SCMF last year along with Bubb Rader (of the Santa Cruz-based Thieves clothing line), who handled sponsorships.

“When we’d go meet with people, at first they’d be taken aback by who we were,” remembers Dawson. “Brian used to have longer hair, and he wears a hat. I have this crazy blond hair and I’m tall and I’ve got crazy eyes and stuff. They were like ‘who are these young kids trying to pull off

something that’s never happened?’”

Crabtree took it as a sign that they were doing exactly what they’d set out to do.

“We wanted to do something in Santa Cruz that I had never heard of being done,” he says. “Something brand new that this town had never seen before that could advance the local music community.”

Ironically, this all started as a joke: if Austin can have South By Southwest, why can’t we have West By West-West?

They searched for the domain, which was taken. But santacruzmusicfestival. com was not. A few clicks on GoDaddy, and suddenly everything changed.

“That’s when we said, ‘this is no longer a joke,’” says Crabtree.

They spent a solid month of long days and nights trying to figure out if SCMF could be pulled off, and how.

They would sometimes work their day jobs, and then go to Crabtree’s house for another eight hours of work on the festival. After that was four months of securing venues.

Then in January, the real work began, confirming bands. At some point, it became clear this was going to happen, one way or another.

Through it all, they did it their way.

They wanted all the bands to get paid, and all the bands are getting paid. They wanted a signed contract for every agreement, they got a signed contract for every agreement. They drew from hiphop, rock, electronic, folk, funk and a lot more—including the comedy event and a wild spoken word showcase. There are many local musicians, as well as bands from around the Bay Area and across the country.

“All of these acts are acts we believe in,” says Dawson. “This has been the coolest experience ever. And it’s really a lot of work.”

Fringe Festival For ten blissful days this month, the question of “What should we do today?” can be answered with, “How about going to like five different performances back to back?” Now in its second year, the Santa Cruz Fringe Festival showcases 40 different up-and-coming theater, dance, circus and comedy acts each under an hour long. Running from this Thursday, July 11 until July 20, the festival is packed with can’t-miss shows. Here’s what to expect: Circus: At the Louden Nelson Center, Santa Cruz-based ClownsNotBombs presents a Spaghetti Western that involves improvised dance and literal pasta, while San Francisco’s Genie Cartier and Audrey Spinazola portray an unconscious dreamscape through acrobatics, juggling and poetry.

Theater: From a lighthearted show all about breasts (“Boobs and Hope” by Dana Sumner-Pritchard) to a disturbing look at the treatment of “fallen” girls by Catholic nuns in the 1940’s in “Magdalen” by Erin Layton, theater is one of the biggest categories in this year’s festival. Plus, Turning Bone Theatre presents on the Sam Shepard play “Action,” a dark and mysterious short comedy full of absurdist elements.

Comedy: Blue Lagoon open mic host DNA brings different Bay Area comedians to his Fringe show at the Center Stage. On July 13, don’t miss San Francisco’s Joe Klocek, voted “Best comic in the city” by SF Weekly, or on July 14’s all-female “Funniest Ladies of the Bay” lineup.

BLITZEN TRAPPER

JORMA KAUKONEN

Hailing from the musical hotspot of Portland, Ore., Blitzen Trapper has become one of the darlings of the under-the-radar rock world. With an everyman’s vibe that feels more 1970 than 2013, these guys take the work-hard-play-hard approach, creating good old rock songs with catchy hooks, air-guitar-able leads and plenty of singalong harmonies. While the influence of acts such as Neil Young, the Band, and Creedence Clearwater Revival is apparent, Blitzen Trapper’s well-crafted sound and energetic delivery set them apart from both the pack and the past. Don Quixote’s; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Sometime in the early 1960s, guitarist, songwriter and singer Jorma Kaukonen walked into a bar and met Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin. Together they continued to expand musically, producing the “Typewriter Tapes” and then eventually going their own separate ways. As his skills proceeded to develop, Kaukonen became a founding member of both Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his superb blues fingerpicking skills and contribution to the acoustic and electric guitar community. He also owns the awardwinning guitar and music camp Fur Peace Ranch in picturesque southeast Ohio. Rio Theatre; $25 gen/$38 gold; 8pm. (Melanie Ware)

BADI ASSAD Named one of Brazil’s top guitarists

by Rolling Stone magazine, Badi Assad is a wonder of the international music scene. With roots in jazz and Brazilian musical styles, this singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist draws inspiration from pop, rock, traditional styles and torch songs to create a sound that is fresh, spirited and distinct. And, she is, as Rolling Stone pointed out, an insanely skillful, innovative and exciting guitarist, taking the instrument to the realm where music, art and life collide. Kuumbwa; $22 adv/$25 door; 7:30pm. (CJ)

CREPE PLACE ANNIVERSARY The Crepe Place, one of the landmark haunts of Santa Cruz, is turning 40. To celebrate the occasion, they’re throwing a bash with food, drink and musical performances by two of the area’s standout acts. Local soul-inspired jam band Harry and the Hitmen is performing a rare concert in the garden and Santa Cruz ska collective Dan P and the Bricks, featuring Dan Potthast, is scheduled for a late-night set that promises to have bodies rocking ‘til the wee hours. Crepe Place; free; 6pm. (CJ)

ETANA

Shauna McKenzie is all about being a powerful role model. She went from overly sexual music videos and R&B to modesty and fusion reggae because she was disgusted at the way in which female performers were objectified. When she made that transition, she renamed herself Etana, which means “the strong one” in Swahili. The African inspired choral chants and her passionate vocals dance around with the exciting rhythm of folk, soul, jazz and reggae. Moe's Alley; $10 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (MW)

TUESDAY

7/16

BLACK FLAG Over the years, Black Flag has come to embody every young punk’s romantic notion of the perfect hardcore band. The truth behind the logo is a lot less ideal, of course, and there was too much infighting and turnover for there to ever really be one Black Flag. Now we have two, thanks to a sudden reunion fever that has overtaken several former members. This one, however, is the one that has Greg Ginn, the guitarist, songwriter and bandleader who was the only constant in the band. On vocals is Ron Reyes, who was the second singer for Black Flag (the other reunion band, Flag, features original vocalist Keith Morris). Ginn claimed in interviews to not have much interest in his old music, until he got wind of the other reunion.

He does, as we all know, love revenge. Catalyst; $20/$25; 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)

TUESDAY

7/16

DEBO BAND In the 1960s, a musical style emerged in Ethiopia that fused jazz-inspired instrumentation, Latin grooves and more with traditional Ethiopian scales. The new style, known as Ethio-jazz or Ethio-groove, took hold and for a decade countless bands contributed to its growing musical treasury.

Inspired by this Golden Age of Ethiopian pop music, the Debo Band pays tribute to the groundbreaking style while adding its own flavor and collaborative energy to it. Based in Boston and led by Ethiopian-American saxophonist Danny Mekonnen, this band provides fans of the genre a rare opportunity to hear it live and is a great gateway band for those looking to learn more about Ethiopian music. Moe’s Alley; $10 adv/$15 door; 8:30pm. (CJ)

WEDNESDAY

7/17

ZOE MUTH In the 1980s, Seattle, Washington was a bustle of counterculture, and springing forth from that was grunge. But the heavy, sludgy sound never quite sunk in to country singer Zoe Muth. She was fascinated with classic rock and roll from an early age, and it is the untold histories of hard times and trouble that give her inspiration. Even though Muth hates computers, has poor social skills and is a little frightened of mainstream society, she’s winning fans with her soulful, country sound. Don Quixote's; $12; 7:30pm. (MW)

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

with them himself, because how could that go wrong, right? Rather than a Hollywood action-fest (which the upcoming, similarly themed film with Tom Hanks will no doubt be), this is an ultra-realistic look at piracy—even the boat the film centers around is one that was really captured by Somali pirates. (Opens Fri at the Nick) I’M SO EXCITED (R; 90 min) Almodovar’s latest reunites him with Penelope

Cruz and Antonio Banderas, this time in a comedy about a plane that seems doomed to go down, and how everyone aboard (and on the ground) attempts to deal with it. (Opens Fri at the Nick) PACIFIC RIM (PG-13; 131 min) Guillermo Del Toro, best known for flipping easily between dark, personal films like Pan’s Labryinth and offbeat crowd-pleasers like Hellboy, goes for broke with his

biggest film ever, a battlingrobot movie with more soul than Transformers. Actually, it combines the Japanese Kaiju genre (monster attack movies of which the Godzilla series is the most famous) and mecha (robot-centric) genres: this time, when the sea monsters (appropriately called “kaiju” here) come, humans beat them back with giant robots. (Opens Thu at 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley, Green Valley) TURBO (PG) It’s hard to imagine some executive at Dreamworks didn’t say “I want Ratatouille meets Cars!” when they came up with this sotry of a snail who dreams of competing in the Indy 500.

Guess if he does!

Reviews

BEFORE MIDNIGHT (R; 109 min) Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy bring their characters Jesse and Celine back for the third film in this series from Richard Linklater.

It’s two decades since they first met, and all is not well. Can they stick it out?

THE BLING RING (R; 98 min) Sofia Coppola’s buzzy new film stars Emma Watson as part of a group of teenagers who rob celebrities. The victims of the real-life crime ring that inspired the film included Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, so they can’t be all bad.

DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG; 98 min.) How often is the most anticipated film of the summer an animated movie?

That isn’t made by Pixar?

Right, and yet the first movie was the movie that was more than just a big moneymaker.

It also bubbled up from nowhere on the cultural radar, with fans watching it over and over with the same kind of passion normally reserved for a Nolan Batman flick. The main characters—Steve Carell as former supervillain Gru, Miranda Cosgrove as Margo, Russell Brand as Dr. Nefario, etc.—are all back in this story of what happens when world leaders call upon Gru’s expertise to defeat a new villain.

FILL THE VOID (PG; 90 min) Israel’s submission to this year’s Oscar race, this quiet drama tells the story of a teenager in the ultra-orthodox Hasidic community who is pressured into marrying her sister’s husband after her death. Hilarity ensues! Not really.

THE KINGS OF SUMMER (R; 93 min) Quirky comedy has three teenage friends deciding to go off the

grid and live for a summer in a house they build in the woods.

THE LONE RANGER (PG-13; 149 min.) Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp reunite, because apparently that series just didn’t get pointless and stupid enough for them. Surely this adaptation featuring America’s most famous cowboy character, originally launched on 1930s radio, will take care of that. Johnny Depp stars as Tonto, while little-known Armie Hammer has to play second fiddle even though his character’s name is the title of the movie. The plot is about stuff, which blows up.

MAN OF STEEL (PG13; 116 min.) Director Zack Snyder was accused by many of botching his Watchmen adaptation, but somehow he still managed to get himself put in charge of reviving the most troubled superhero franchise this side of The Hulk.

Can new cape star Henry Cavill lead a rebound from Superman Returns, with this story that vaguely combines the original Superman (origin story) with Superman II? Zod is back, baby!

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G; 110 min) When people talk about the greatest Pixar movies, Monsters Inc. never seems to get mentioned. And yet, it is awesome. Why Cars got a sequel before Sulley and Mike is anyone’s guess, but at least it’s here now. Technically, it’s a prequel, with John Goodman and Billy Crystal returning to tell the story of how the pair got into the scare business.

THIS IS THE END (R; 112 min.) For this follow-up to Superbad and Pineapple Express (and Green Hornet?), Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen got their friends to star as themselves in a comedy about what people who party at James Franco’s house would do in the apocalypse.

20 FEET FROM STARDOM (PG-13; 90 min.) Documentary about the backup singers whose voices we’ve all heard on countless hit songs, without knowing who they were.

UNFINISHED SONG (PG-13; 93 min.) Terence Stamp stars as a man whose wife (Vanessa Redgrave) is dying of cancer, but still keeps up her commitment to a local choir.

At first, he resents it, believing she should be conserving her strength at home, but he comes around to seeing her music in a whole new way.

A

u Midi Fête: When in

Aptos....especially if it’s Bastille Day (July 14), you really must celebrate at the authentically French Au Midi Restaurant and Bistrot, where chef Muriel Loubiere has a brillliant little gastronomic party that begins with a thin goat cheese and basil quiche, moves into a seafood centerpiece of shrimp and monk fish with lobster stock, Cognac and tomatoes, and finishes up with Strawberries Melba, biscuit, ice cream and crème Chantilly. Oo la la—for $35 per person with reservation. So quick make one @ aumidi.com.

Also, one last time, don’t forget to join the other wild and crazy foodies for the 2nd Annual Soif Waiters Race, also on Bastille Day. Marie Antoinette would have loved this event, where our top local servers get to show off their best moves—all to help benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. The race begins at 1pm, in downtown Santa Cruz, at Walnut and Pacific. You might want to check out Soif’s 3-course, $45 Bastille Day dinner as well. Reservations are une bonne idée, as Marie would have said.

A MEAL IN MILAN: Last week I sampled a 3-course lunch offering at Il

Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala, recently awarded a Michelin Star. Chef Luigi Taglienti’s elegant, yet robust culinary style offered much to like. As did the view from the second story restaurant, which overlooks the fabled Teatro alla Scala opera house—where I spent four evenings soaking up 18th-century ambience and all four of Wagner’s Ring cycle operas, conducted by maestro Daniel Barenboim. Back to the food: Served by a smartly attired waitstaff, the meal began with aqua minerale frizzante and a glass of Querciabella Chianti Classico 2010.

I selected two pretty rolls offered from a linen-lined basket, and began

with a bowl of saffron tagliatelle stuffed with foie gras and lightly sauced with ginger-watermelon juices.

Utterly delicious. As was a main course of roast suckling pig accompanied by a large green fig stuffed with almonds, pork and dried fruits—all bathed in a balsamic reduction. Dessert involved basil ice cream—terrific!—and a lovely tart of tomato and strawberry. Great concept. Conflicting flavors. Espresso to die for finished me off...until Siegfried three hours later.

PASCAROSA OLIVE OIL: Santa Cruzans (now Puglians) Brian and Catherine Faris brought one of their handsome sons and a lot of olive oil from their very own orchards to a tasting display last week at Soif Wine Bar. “Delicioso” was my first thought.

Organic and extra virgin, this utterly delicious, light yet rich, very attitude-laden oil is now adorning all of our house salads. The Pascarosa packaging is superb—attractive 16 oz. cans with clever closure for roughly $20 each. The marketing is compelling, as you would expect from former UCSC University Relations Vice Chancellor Catherine Faris (who also, you'll recall, was ahead of the curve years back with a charming Capitola-based Mediterranean restaurant called Primizia). The information-driven website—www.pascarosa.com—is loaded with details about how the Faris family fell in love with the southern Italian region, acquired and cultivated the olive orchard, and are now enchanted with the entire olive oil process. So much so that they have put together two tasting tours at their estate for the fall of 2013. Check out the tempting website information.

Meanwhile, the Pascarosa brand offers two delicious oils—the lighter one is 100% certified organic, while the richer, more complex and spicy version is grown organically in all but the official certification. Available currently at Soif. And soon, hopefully, at Shoppers. 0

SCW: What did you most want to cook at the Eatery? DEREK

RUPP: Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. We have an eclectic mix of dishes from Indonesia, Mexico, classic American breakfasts. We’re doing briskets and eggs right now.

Do your favorite pizzas change? I really love the Telecaster [Chipotle

pesto, pepperjack cheese, pineapple, bacon and tomato cream sauce].

It’s just my all-time favorite. And also the Santa Barbara [Mozzarella, Parmesan & pepper jack cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, and green onions] is just so good.

Pizza My Heart won world’s best pizza at a Las Vegas competition last year. Were you skeptical? There’s tons of great pizza in Santa Cruz.

I like their pizza, actually. It’s different than mine. They’re thin crust. We’re what I call West Coast-style pizza—more sauce, more toppings, more cheese. It’s different. It’s like cars. You’ve got your Ferraris. You’ve got your Porches. You’ve got your Cadillacs. They’re all killer cars. I did compete for my first time in the competition last year in March. My first time doing it, and I didn’t get through the first round. But I’ll be back, and I’m pretty confident we’ll be winning something very soon.

How do you make your dough? It’s sort of a secret, but classic pizza

dough is sugar, salt, yeast, water. We put a lot more than just those ingredients in our crust, and our crust is awesome.

Is that what makes your pizza? It’s our signature.

Do you find inspiration in other foods? I go to the city, and I eat at

Tony’s in North Beach, and he’s a world pizza champion multiple years in Italy, and his Neapolitan pizza is incredible. I had a really good burger [from 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco] the other day. The way all the flavors came together, I thought: we should do a cheeseburger pizza. We did a killer bacon cheeseburger pizza.

Shortboard or longboard? Mostly shortboards. We pull these boards [at the shop] down all the time and take them out. I invite friends, good customers, and we take all the boards down, clean them up, wax them up, take them down to the point for a few hours.
