3/AG >7197<5A ALTHOUGH a small county, Santa Cruz falls statewide behind many larger counties—in many areas. In the cities of Santa Cruz and Capitola we already pay some of the highest sales tax in the state. Bob Smallman (“When Does It End?� Letters, July 25) gave figures on some of the ways we are already taxed and re-taxed due to the inefficient use of taxes already collected. Apparently our local cultural creative rulers are unable to provide creative solutions other than utilizing the well-used instant gratification fix of another regressive tax. For truly instant gratification, and saving us money, why aren’t they using the California Driving Code: 22526 Anti Grid Lock—about not blocking intersections? This does not

require any new laws or any new paid studies. Starting now during our tourist summer Boardwalk rush—beginning on Thursday afternoons through Sunday evenings—our well-staffed police force could be used for extremely efficient revenue collection. All they need to do is sit at the several intersections beginning at the Ocean Street freeway off/onramp to the Boardwalk and enforce the existing law. With great ease they could cite the self-absorbed folks who don’t mind blocking the intersections in their haste to arrive and depart Santa Cruz via Ocean Street. This would provide ample easy revenue for the county, offsetting the other vital impacts of tourism here on our water systems, electrical energy, air quality and beat-up roads. Linda Louise

3:23@ /0CA3 E723A>@3/2 THANK YOU, Georgia Perry and Santa Cruz. com for the sunshine of the media on the Olvera case (“Leaving Las Vegas,� Currents, Aug. 1) and the bleeding of Guadalupe Olvera’s estate from his court-appointed conservator and “protector,� Jared Shafer. Unlawful and abusive adult conservatorships are harming families and pauperizing vulnerable, disabled and elderly people all over this country. Conservatorship law is designed to “guard,� “conserve� and “protect� incompetent people and the public. Over the years, the laws have been misused, misapplied or manipulated to unjustly enrich courtappointed fiduciaries at the expense of and to the detriment of the very people the courts have appointed them to protect. The Olvera case is an apt example of the old adage that one can “steal� more with a pen than a gun. Because the courts have “sanctioned� the abuse (by approving of the exorbitant fee billings), complaints to policing authorities are to no avail. This outrageous abuse can happen to anyone. We all become vulnerable at some time in our lives. Guardianship abuse is elder abuse! Elaine Renoire National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse

Ah, the large-scale summer music festival. As entertainment it’s unrivaled—although admittedly it’s hard to come to terms with the militant picnic-banning and bizarro economy (the inflated food and drink prices rival those in airports). I, for my part, once woke up at the Pacific Northwest’s Sasquatch Festival to find dried vomit on my jeans—the by-product of an evening spent taking direct pulls out of a flask, my soda mixer having been unceremoniously swiped by a security guard who encouraged me to purchase an overpriced bottle inside. I declined, at my own peril: I had two days of music to go and no other pants to wear.

Upon closer inspection, however, it appears there is much more good than evil at summer music festivals. Regional events like the sold-out Outside Lands, happening this weekend, emphasize preserving the many gifts Mother Nature gives us for free. With practical methods in place and a conscious Earth-friendly perspective, the Bay Area’s music festivals aren’t just about showcasing great bands. Festival organizers see an opportunity to educate performers and audiences about green practices—some of which admittedly go down easier than others. “The solar stage is always sort of the red-headed stepchild,� acknowledges Outside Lands co-founder and head of sustainable practices Bryan Duquette,

who says performers are generally skeptical of an alternatively powered stage’s ability to support a full sound and light system. “Everyone has this understanding that a solar stage is a rinky dink stage,� he says. But the solar stage grows and develops each year and currently can serve shows with up to 7,500 attendees, up from 2,500 in 2008. This year Philadelphia indie rockers Dr. Dog will headline on it Saturday night. The Monterey Jazz Festival (Sept. 21– 23), which expects 10,000 attendees this year, has a stage powered by bicycles— patrons literally ride stationary bicycles and the energy and electricity they create fuels the stage’s light and sound system. Encouraging alternative methods

of transportation is another way festivals cut down on CO2 emissions. Ben Challis, co-founder of A Greener Festival, a British nonprofit dedicated to helping festivals improve sustainable practices, says audience travel is the biggest contributor to most events’ carbon footprint. Local festivals have stepped up. Eliote Durham, Director of Operations for San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (Oct. 5–7) festival, which welcomes 750,000 attendees, says they provide spaces for more than 10,000 bikes (“Just bike rack after bike rack after bike rack�). Treasure Island (Oct. 13–14), another San Francisco popular music festival with about >9

12,000 attendees each day, has a zeroemission bus that takes people from the bike parking area to the festival grounds. Outside Lands offers bike parking too, in addition to a shuttle that takes patrons from downtown San Francisco to the festival grounds. The price of a pass for the whole weekend is under $30. Music festivals are also moving away from the plastic-heavy bottled water scene. Outside Lands and Treasure Island have the same earth-friendly (and money-making) scheme: attendees can either purchase a souvenir water bottle for $15 or so, which can be filled up an infinite number of times for free, or use their own bottle to fill up for $1 each time. The Monterey Jazz Festival offers patrons free water refills with any bottle their hearts desire. Many festivals also envision a future of zero waste. Outside Lands, Treasure Island and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass all require food vendors to use only compostable plates, cups and cutlery. Last year 87 percent of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass’s waste was diverted from landfills and either composted or recycled. Outside Lands diverted 77 percent. Having three different bins—trash, recycle and compost—is standard operating procedure at all large-scale San Francisco festivals, as it is required by city ordinance. Whether audiences know what to do with the options, however, is debatable. Outside Lands has around 100 “trash talkers�—volunteers who help patrons sort which bin their waste should go in. And there’s still a need for basic “give a hoot, don’t pollute� evangelizing. Says Hardly Strictly Bluegrass’s Durham, “People tend to throw stuff on the ground still. It’s pretty amazing.� Challis says music festivals have a unique opportunity to promote sustainable practices: “People tend to be at festivals for substantial periods of time—often days—and do not spend the whole time watching performances.� He says simply setting an example is more effective than “pushing� ideas on audience members. Duquette says Outside Lands aims to impact audiences both during and after the festival: “If we can do this on a mass scale, then you can easily incorporate some of this ideology into your home life. It’s really simple stuff. Putting the right waste in the right receptacles. Not drinking bottled water. Riding your bike.� 0

Tess Dunn isn’t afraid of moving away (or anything else, for that matter) BY JACOB PIERCE\

I

It’s 12:30pm, and Tess Dunn, having just woken up, is sitting on a cafĂŠ patio and carefully cradling a carrot cupcake, her first meal of the day. Dunn, who was in January named the 11th-best Bay Area artist by 99.7 NOW FM, is eagerly preparing for life’s next journey: to California State University–Monterey Bay, in two weeks. Dunn says she’s “so excitedâ€? for life in

college, where she’ll major in human communication—a field that includes creative writing, one of her first passions. “I was thinking about minoring too,� Dunn says, “but that’s already enough work for someone with cystic fibrosis, epilepsy and diabetes.� At 17, Dunn, who finished up high school a year early so she could leave

Santa Cruz, has already accomplished a lot. She’s released two EPs, performed on four Warped Tours and been featured on the Vans Off the Wall Pass the Bucket show online. She’s done all this in spite of three incurable diseases. And before she leaves for CSUMB, Dunn will also be headlining Moe’s Alley on Aug. 12 for a benefit for one of those diseases, cystic fibrosis. ¨

11 C O V E R S T O R Y | T E S S D U N N Dunn, who has candy-red hair and a pop-punk attitude, has made a name for herself in the face of tremendous adversity, starting with diminished hours in each day. Epilepsy requires Dunn to get more sleep than the average person (she usually sleeps until about 1:30pm), although the optimistic piano player calls the illness an “excuse� to do so. Coping with cystic fibrosis requires that she daily use a nebulizer and wear a special vest for over an hour to shake the mucus out of her lungs. And on the green patio table between me and Dunn are two canisters of prescription medication—she must take 50 to 60 pills a day. “Other people think it’s not much fun,� Dunn says, “but because I’ve had to deal with it my whole life, it’s just like brushing my teeth or eating breakfast—or lunch, since I don’t actually eat breakfast because I wake up so late.� Dunn has been writing music since she was 11, when the classically trained pianist told her dad, “I’m done with this bullshit, and I want to play my own stuff.� These days, her pop rock songs focus on mostly teenage frustrations, certain annoying boys and other themes that resonate with her high school peers. They feature dynamic piano riffs, grungy guitars and catchy melodies over plaintive chord progressions and honest, revealing lyrics—not totally unlike a more candid Katy Perry or perhaps an in-control-of-her-life Courtney Love. Dunn’s songs are well structured, too. In many songs, her quiet, contemplative verses build into exciting pre-chorus hooks and ultimately catchy choruses filled with interesting revelations. At the upcoming benefit concert, Dunn will be playing five or six new songs, most of which she’s never performed live. Dunn’s already illustrious career has been aided by support from industry players a generation older than her. Dunn’s parents, Siri Vaeth and noted Santa Cruz author Geoffrey Dunn, both point out that she has been blessed with notable mentors, starting with critically acclaimed songwriter Ari Shine, who’s opened for Rhett Miller, Silversun Pickups, the Donnas and

others. Shine co-produced Dunn’s second EP Honesty Box with Noah Shain, who’s also worked with dubstep demigod Skrillex. Shine and his wife Adrienne Pierce played on both of Dunn’s albums. Jack Johnson’s drummer, Adam Topol, has also played on Dunn’s records, as did soloist Carina Round, who’s currently on tour with Tears for Fears.

‘I don’t try to be eloquent in my music because the truth isn’t always eloquent.’ Additionally, it was the Dunns’ neighbor Bill Welch, owner of Moe’s Alley, who started the annual fundraiser where the young pop singer will perform Sunday at 7:30pm. Welch only does two other fundraisers a year, one for the Surfrider Foundation and another for Second Harvest. He sees a lot of talent in Dunn. “She writes with a lot of emotion, and she has a great mind,� Welch says. “In years to come, she’ll keep writing things she knows about. She’s just starting. She’s growing by leaps and bounds.� Welch calls Dunn a “very sharp, young, literate person,� and whether in songwriting or in conversation, Dunn appears to finds her words easily and with a certain eloquence, a trait that makes her seem wise beyond her years. But Dunn says she doesn’t think of herself as eloquent “at all.� “When I write, it’s typically about how I’m feeling and the truth,� Dunn says. “There aren’t any lies about how I’m feeling. I don’t try to be eloquent in my music because the truth isn’t always eloquent.�

Dunn’s parents say she has always been a decisive go-getter, the kind of person who figures out what she wants and then starts trying to achieve it. “She is very intense and creative and has been since she was a little girl,� Jeff Dunn says. “I’m way more of a fan than a mentor. She has her own sense of what she wants to do and has always had. It’s just a joy for me to watch.� Researchers have made tremendous strides in cystic fibrosis studies over the past half-decade. In the 1950s, victims of cystic fibrosis weren’t expected to reach their first birthday. Now those with the disease often survive into their

thirties—still by no means old age. “At that age I was about to have my second child,� says Vaeth, 49. (Their younger child Dylan is now 13.) “If at my age now I passed away, people would say, ‘What a tragedy! She was so young.’� The search for a more effective treatment and research—and ultimately a longer lifespan for people like Tess—is the motivation behind Welch’s fundraiser at Moe’s Alley. The disease currently affects one in 3,000 live births. As far as life expectancy goes, the outlook is brightening. When Tess Dunn was diagnosed in 1995, life expectancy was 29 years old. Now it’s 37.

If Dunn, who jokes about being in “mid-life crisis� mode, has any fear about life’s finish line, she’s not showing it. “I’ve always had a clock ticking above my head subconsciously. Knowing that the median age for survival for CF is 37 makes me less afraid. I’ve known that for such a long time that it’s settled in now. I’m not that scared.�

ERIKA Wennerstrom doesn’t mind explaining her band’s name. As frontwoman for the Heartless Bastards, she’s heard plenty of misinterpretations stemming from it, including that it’s a death metal group and a man-hating rock band. But behind the oft-misunderstood moniker lies an American rock outfit that takes on themes of love, life and heartache with heartland style and a bluesy, alt-country flair. And the name? It was an incorrect answer to the trivia question “What’s the name of Tom Petty’s band?� “I thought [the name] was really funny when I was younger,� Wennerstrom says from her home in Austin. “But I like when it’s explained now. Over the years people have thought any number of things about the band, but they didn’t quite know what to think of the name.� Formed in Ohio in 2003, the Heartless Bastards has always been Wennerstrom and whoever she’s playing with, including friends, longtime bandmates and even studio musicians. With four albums to its name, the band has been a morphing entity, slowly coming into its own. Its latest release, titled Arrow, reveals a confident, self-aware Wennerstrom coming to terms with her own changing life. In 2010, having broken up with her longtime boyfriend and band mate Mike Lamping, Wennerstrom moved from Ohio to Austin to make a fresh start. Bandless but with a lot of emotional material to work with, she started writing songs. She put together the music for an album but hadn’t written any of

NO MORE TEARS Heartless Bastards play the Rio this Thursday. the lyrics. Needing to give shape to her ideas and emotions, she hit the road, taking several solo road trips, including jaunts to the Catskills, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and a friend’s ranch in West Texas. The solitude and introspective nature of the trips is reflected throughout Arrow, and Wennerstrom says the imagery of West Texas ended up being an inspiration for the album. Drawing from the band’s diverse musical influences, including classic country, ’70s rock, R&B, indie rock and the blues, Arrow remains true to the Heartless Bastards’ sound with a raw, garage-rock spirit, catchy melodic hooks and lyrics that are emotional without sounding like diary entries. She paints with a wide swath, filling her songs with relatable tales of parting ways, being alone and finding new romance, all without revealing too many of the sordid details. “Keeping the lyrics a little bit vague allows me to save something for myself,� Wennerstrom says. “I’m writing from a personal place, but when I listen to music I like to be able to find my own meaning and

relate to what I’m hearing, so I tend to write that way.� The current Heartless Bastards lineup features Wennerstrom on guitar and vocals, Mark Nathan on guitar, Dave Colvin on drums and Jesse Ebaugh on bass. After years of revolving band members, this lineup has struck a balance that Wennerstrom is “really happy� with. The band is tight, the album’s getting solid reviews and the tour dates are piling up. So what’s next for the Heartless Bastards? Another batch of songs, of course. But Wennerstrom’s not rushing it. Melodies, she says, come easily to her, but the lyrics tend to take their time. “I probably have all the melodies for the new album, but I haven’t sat down and written a single word,� she says. “I’m sort of putting it all out there and sometimes it takes me a while getting comfortable expressing that.� HEARTLESS BASTARDS BcSaROg Ob &^[ @W] BVSObS`) # %#

SWING TIME Robert Coverdell and Briana Michaud cut a rug in ‘Anything Goes’

‘Anything Goes’ 9WXh_bbe IjW][ Ze[i 9eb[ Fehj[h m_j^ Xh_e BY LILY STOICHEFF

C

CABRILLO Stage’s Anything Goes is explosively fun. In one impeccably executed Cole Porter classic after another, we’re reminded how timeless this composer’s talent is, and director and choreographer Kikau Alvaro skillfully presents it to a contemporary audience. From the moment Briana Michaud sashays onto the stage as the sizzling Reno Sweeney and unleashes her vivacious voice with “I Get a Kick Out of You,� she declares herself a performer with unrivaled gifts. Michaud becomes more captivating with each scene as she embodies the take-no-crap, high-living and high-rolling Reno, simultaneously colluding with criminals and leading her congregation of fellow passengers to riotous revival, flanked by her flock of not-so-chaste Angels. Andrew Ceglio is perfectly charming and sincere as the lovestruck stowaway Billy Crocker. Ceglio glides between hilarious shenanigans and amorous moonlight waltzes, and is equally skilled at leaving his audience doubled over in stitches and sighing at the difficulties of unrequited love. Nina Feliciano, who plays opposite him as the debutante Hope Harcourt, is unfortunately less convincing in her role. The conflict between Hope’s imminent marriage and her love for Billy doesn’t translate well, and the character seems a bit stiff and passionless. However, Feliciano’s dance skills are obvious, and the chemistry between the two sweethearts comes alive whenever the pair dances together.

Max Bennett-Parker kills it as swarthy Public Enemy Number 13, Moonface Martin. His slapstick shtick is flawless— he never lets the audience quite forget that, at any moment, someone could be sleepin’ with the fishes, which makes numbers “Be Like the Bluebirdâ€? all the more hilarious. As Moonface’s cohort, the sailor-loving Erma, Anethra Moura hilariously executes the come-hither tactics of her character. As Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, Hope Harcourt’s fiancĂŠ, Robert Coverdell blends British breeding and boyish enthusiasm to wacky effect. Coverdell is as tall and thin as an exclamation point, which makes his main ensemble of undershirt, long boxers and tall socks held up by garters all the funnier. His number “The Gypsy in Meâ€? was a highlight, and I couldn’t help but marvel that such a wiry individual could sling the bodacious Michaud along in a tango so effortlessly. The supporting cast of sailors and passengers are a joy to watch, as is the budding love story between billionaire Elisha Whitney, played by Nick Bilardello, and the aging gold-digger Evangeline Harcourt, played by Mindy Pedlar. The moveable set is comprised of beautiful pieces of art deco whimsy, and the costumes are gorgeously designed. In short, Anything Goes is de-lovely.

In the entertainment world, many people claim to be on a spiritual quest, mostly manifesting it in a Charlie Sheen sort of way. English reggae singer Pato Banton is the exception. First gaining attention in the 1980s for his rhythmic singing with the ska band the Beat, Banton wrote a slew of reggae staples throughout the 1990s and earned a Grammy nomination for best reggae singer in 2001. Since then his new band, The Now Generation, has travelled the world singing the teachings of the Christian sectarian text, The Urantia Book. Catalyst; $10 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (Mat Weir)

Since his days as the front man for the Babys in London in the 1970s, John Waite has proven his immutable staying power. After cutting five records with the Babys, John Waite went solo, started showing off an astounding cleft chin and wrote one of the greatest hits of the ’80s, “Missing You,� which few can deny having sung passionately along with at some point in their lives. Bad English, Waite’s next endeavor, earned critical acclaim and topped Billboard charts with the hit “When I See You Smile.� Now solo, Waite’s songsmithing has matured and evolved, but this rock star’s hunky demeanor remains the same.

Santa Cruz saxophonist Ben Flocks was hand-selected at the age of 18 to study with Dave Brubeck as an Institute Fellow in 2007, which gave him the opportunity to study with Joe Gillman, Jeff Ballard and other musically talented guests. Not long after, Flocks and his swinging sax were playing jazz festivals and concert halls all over the world, including the Detroit Jazz Festival and the Library of Congress in D.C. Since then he’s left the left coast (best coast!) for Brooklyn, where he recently earned a degree in Jazz Performance at the New School in New York City. But Flocks’ true talent lies in creating inspired and soulful compositions that draw from America’s musical traditions. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (LS)

Saturday’s event is a CD release party for Gaither’s latest, titled Starlight Drive-In Saturday Night, which was inspired, in part, by his hometown of Watsonville. Guest musicians include Dayan Kai, Steve Uccello, Steve Kritzer and Aaron Bagchee. Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds; $20; 7:30pm. (CJ)

A world-renowned trumpeter who cut his teeth with Lionel Hampton and Art Blakey, Terence Blanchard is one of the giants of today’s jazz world. But his trumpet work is just one aspect of his immense talent. He has also composed the scores to more than 40 films, including every Spike Lee movie since Jungle Fever and George Lucas’ Red Tails. With a handful of Grammys to his name, the New Orleans–born and –based Blanchard has raised the bar for jazz artists and composers, all the while staying true to his roots as a performer. “Writing for film is fun,� he told one interviewer, “but nothing can beat being a jazz musician, playing a club, playing a concert.� Kuumbwa; $25 adv/$28 door; 7pm & 9pm.

tradition, but Tim and Danny Carter of the Carter Brothers Band more than live up to their dynasty’s rep.

27 EPICURE

BENJAMIN SIMS CHEF & OWNER OF BANTAM

ANOTHER GOLD Soquel-raised Reilly Meehan is striving to become the Michael Phelps of cooking.

Summer Plates Piled High BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

AVANTI OPENS Ristorante Avanti is now fully ensconced in its

new Mission Street location (former site of Hawg’s and Coldwater), and wow, it looks fabulous. Full bar, skylights, comfortable chairs, exhibition kitchen, same menu (for now). Stop by and say hi at 1917 Mission St., Santa Cruz. 831.427.0135.

DAVENPORT ROADHOUSE REDUX Helmut and Queenie Fritz

are the new owners up at the vintage Davenport Roadhouse Restaurant.

The purchase of restaurant and inn went through in June, and the owners promise to maintain such roadhouse traditions as live music from the Sherry Austin Band and the Coffis Brothers. Having fallen in love with Davenport during getaways from Silicon Valley— who wouldn’t?—the owners finally made the leap. Helmut, originally trained as a chef in Austria, got degrees in computer science and marketing and has owned and operated a small hotel in Southern France. Armed with an MBA, Queenie will be handling the financial side of the new restaurant and inn property. New touches include Monday openings for breakfast and lunch from 8am to 3pm. Stay tuned for

more details. REILLY MEEHAN’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE Soquel native Reilly Meehan was just named the 2012

American Culinary Federation Student Chef of the Year during a recent national convention in Orlando. Being named best student chef in the nation is a very big deal. “It is validation that hard work really pays off in the end,â€? said the young chef, who also took home a check for $1,000. Meehan, son of SEABRIGHT BREWERY owner Charlie Meehan, got a scholarship to attend the Professional Culinary Institute in Campbell. He went on to win first place last September in the ChaĂŽne des RĂ´tisseurs Jeunes Commis Competition in Istanbul. If you’re curious about Meehan’s award-winning menu, his summer seafood appetizer included pan-seared red snapper with citrus/herb crust, accompanied by seafood chorizo–stuffed shrimp, a shrimp and corn bisque sauce, leek and corn saute, tomato confit and clam/chive butter sauce. Whew—not something I would be trying at home. The chef ’s entree involved “Duo of Rabbitâ€?—mustard-scented rabbit

BS: After spending so many years in restaurants, both my wife Sarah and I wanted a space that was a reflection of our style and vision, not the reorganization of another space. We desired a clean slate. 1010 Fair is that space. What culinary skills do you anticipate bringing to a pizzadriven menu? Ever since I worked the pizza oven at Chez Panisse I have loved cooking pizzas and have wanted my own place to have a pizza-driven menu. There is a magic in the fire and dough. What is the most tedious part of starting your own restaurant? Traffic impact fee. What does your fantasy pizza look like? My fantasy pizza is cooked in Bantam’s wood-fired oven. Crispy and chewy crust with little blisters, topped with tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil. The best pizza is the simple Margherita executed to perfection. If you weren’t cooking, what would you be doing? Radio broadcaster covering the San Francisco Giants. What do you do for fun? I love cooking with my wife, eating with friends and family. I love Crossfit. I love being outside in my hometown, from the ocean to the mountains. Bantam opens at 1010 Fair St. in Santa Cruz this fall. Christina Waters

loin roulade as well as duxelle-stuffed braised rabbit thigh. The main dish was joined by shallot and bacon jam, sauteed oyster mushrooms and cherry compote. Yeow! Congratulations to chef Meehan.

at their peak right now are nectarines, watermelons and Romano beans. We like to steam these flat green beans, marinate them in olive oil, garlic and lemon, and serve with local wild salmon and braised quinoa.
