Since Last We Spoke I have been very disappointed in your recent articles on the city bike distribution program (“Backpedaling,� Sept. 12). While it is true I apologized for the tone of an email I sent out, the underlying substance deserves consideration, and neither myself nor the Bike Church collective has retracted those questions and concerns. After more than four years of collaborating with the city, including 16 events distributing 415 bicycles through various nonprofit organizations, the city ended this program without so much as a letter or phone call of notification. For months we engaged with the SCPD, city council, and city manager but received no sensible explanation. Meanwhile we learned that the Bike Dojo, a for-profit business whose youth program does not appear to be a non-profit, was recommended by Hilary Bryant, whose

husband’s business works “in association with� the Bike Dojo, according to their website. We’ve also heard directly from both Rob and Kim Mylls at the Bike Dojo that they are selling some city bikes to fund their youth program, in violation of city policy. We are hoping the city reinstates a program open to all city nonprofits, as was the case for years prior to this change. STEVE SCHNAAR Santa Cruz

Secret of Desal [Re: “Pour Communication,� Sept. 12] You’ve run a provocative letter or two lately, so let me pitch you another one: The City of Santa Cruz wants taxpayers to pay for half of a desalination plant that will mainly benefit Capitola, Soquel, and Aptos. We the citizens do not know, really, whether personal conservation and gray water reuse

would be enough to solve Santa Cruz’s water woes. We do not know. The city has not told us. The City Council simply says, “Desal is the best answer. Trust us.� And they want you to take their word. Because Santa Cruz might survive without desal. But the communities east of 41st Avenue would die. Santa Cruz gets its water mainly from rainfall runoff, but the Soquel Creek Water District relies heavily on ground water: wells. For decades it has taken more water out its aquifers than nature puts back in. And so its water table has sunk to over 80 feet below sea level. Eventually the seawater will roll in and most of the wells will begin producing salt water. It’s already started. If it goes on, sooner or later it’s game over for Capitola, Aptos, Soquel. Ask the water district: there is no other source of water. Except desal. The desal plant will provide the additional water source that the Soquel Creek Water District needs to renew its water table. The process will take ten years and will require extreme conservation measures as well, perhaps forever. Soquel Creek won’t take a drop of the desalinated water, however; it’ll “give� the entire output of the desal operation to Santa Cruz, and take in exchange some of Santa Cruz’s water from the San Lorenzo River watershed. But if Santa Cruz decides to meet its water needs through conservation and recycling, Soquel Creek would have to bear the entire cost of a desal operation it probably couldn’t raise the money to pay for. And the aquifers would fill with salt water, and Mid-County east of 41st would wither. Population, real estate prices, the economy, employment, tourism: it would all drop. And that would hurt a lot of people in Santa Cruz. Our economy does not stop at the city limits. Real estate agents, landscapers, restaurateurs, building contractors, retailers, wealthy people who own large amounts of income and commercial property countywide: they would all suffer. And so might you. But they couldn’t tell the voters that. Some of us might be unwilling to pay higher taxes to bail out Aptos and Capitola. Better then just to say “desal is the only choice,� and “trust us.� Do you? JIM JONES

the planning department. It’s unlikely that ground would be broken in less than 18 months. County super Ellen Pirie, who’s been vocal in her opposition to the project, says traffic will probably be issue number one in terms of things the county board of supes can control. “Traffic is on our plate,� says Pirie, whose term wraps up in January. Her successor Zach Friend also has concerns about the project’s scope. “Some of the other things, like the loss of local businesses for instance, are not [areas where] the county can force Safeway to do something in particular.�

30-YEAR PLAN WHAT’S IN STORE Rodney Hoffer, who owns Ace Hardware in the Rancho Del Mar complex, says Safeway is more concerned about the look of its proposed megastore than local residents’ concerns.

Flack Market Aptos businesses believe their concerns about Safeway expansion are falling on deaf ears BY JACOB PIERCE

I

f Safeway goes through with plans to nearly double its Aptos store’s size, Rodney Hoffer says the possible megamarket-to-be would look “real nice.� The most recent sketches show brown wooden timbers and stilts to give the one-stop shopping destination somewhat of a mountain-cabin atmosphere. “At least it’s it not going to look like a box like the one on 41st Avenue,� says Hoffer, owner of Ace Hardware, currently in the Rancho Del Mar complex, which Safeway bought this year. But that’s where Hoffer’s support for the supermarket expansion, which would probably displace 14 businesses like his, ends. “As far as whether or not they’re listening to residents of Aptos about

if they would rather have the huge Safeway or the 14 businesses here, they’re not doing that at all,� Hoffer says. Hoffer says, in public meeting after public meeting, Safeway has listened carefully to concerns about how the store might look. But he believes larger concerns—like whether or not Aptos is even ready for a massive Safeway overhaul in the first place—have fallen on deaf ears. The current plans, which would expand the store from about 35,000 square feet to 59,000, would force several established businesses to either move or shut down—including Ace, Aptos Theater, an Erik’s Deli CafÊ and eventually the Windjammer, a local dive bar, too. Hoffer of Ace Hardware and Lindsey Bryant, owner of the Erik’s Deli, have

questions about the future. They want to know when they’ll have to move their shops, and to where. Charlie Eadie, who’s gathering input for the project on behalf of Safeway, has one cautionary message for anyone trying to put the produce cart before the horse—slow down. “People are saying, ‘We want an answer right now,’� says Eadie, a landuse consultant for Hamilton Swift & Associates. “There isn’t an answer right now, and it isn’t fair to expect one. It’s premature, because there’s work to be done.� Last month, the county board of supervisors approved a six-month study into the impacts of possible Aptos developments like the mega-Safeway. After the study’s done, Safeway could start a pre-application process and, after that, a permitting process through

Bryant of Erik’s Deli doesn’t know what would happen to her restaurant during the nine-plus months that the retail area would be under construction. It’s possible, for example, the cafĂŠ would be able to move to another spot in the same lot, either temporarily or permanently. Bryant and her husband could also search for a vacancy elsewhere in the county, or just wait for construction at Rancho Del Mar to finish altogether. To help counsel businesses on such decisions, Safeway has given Cabrillo College a $50,000 grant, perhaps not a huge chunk of change for the nation’s 11th largest retailer. Still, Safeway representative Eadie says the overall project, if finished, would revitalize the area and make the complex a much better place for small retailers. “This is really about an opportunity for the businesses to come back,â€? Eadie says. “And that’s what’s being missed right now in the discussion.â€? For Bryant, what’s most important is what will happen to her business if and when construction starts. “We didn’t exactly have a five-year plan,â€? Bryant says. “We had a 30-year plan. It gets difficult.â€? Safeway is currently seeking project feedback at http:// ranchodelmarcenter.com.0

Briefs WHAT GOES UP

RIGHT SAID TED TEDx Santa Cruz (Sat. Sept. 15) brought several of the big-name speakers and bombshell moments the conference is known for. There

A3>B3;03@ ' #

Nita Robertson has owned Santa Cruz Floral on Ocean Street with her husband Bruce for more than 10 years. But in May, she ran into something that had never come up before: when she called her local helium supplier to stock up for the graduation rush, she was told none was available. A few more calls made it clear how dire the situation actually was: none was available anywhere. Welcome to the helium crisis. “It’s been months since I could even get some,� says Robertson, and she’s not the only one. In fact, the U.S. is smack dab in the middle of a helium shortage. Most people don’t even realize it yet, which is why Robertson says she gets a lot of puzzled looks from party-planning locals who come in looking for balloons. Don’t blame her—or any of the Santa Cruz shops who will probably have to turn away a lot of panicking parents for the foreseeable future. The real culprit is most likely the Bureau of Land Management, which controls the U.S. helium supply under the Great Plains, and has been selling it off since 1996 (and of course Congress, which directed them to do so). It will be entirely privatized by 2015, which means the situation could get even worse, and the entire world supply could be gone in 40 years. “We don’t even know what’s going to happen,� says Robertson. She was finally able to track down some helium, but it had “at least doubled in price, if not tripled.� The wonks at the Federal Helium Reserve are squeaking that the whole problem is being blown out of proportion, and that the current shortage is merely a blip that will correct itself. Don’t tell that to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Robert Richardson, who believes the gas should be going at $100 per balloon.

were also some subtle messages that deserve props. Professional endurance athlete Terri Schneider posited that everybody is an endurance athlete, really—moving forward through our days and working towards the next goal. She shared with the TEDx audience her travels to Bhutan, and how the lifestyle of modesty and quiet contemplation affected her. She encouraged audience members to accept offerings with open, cupped hands as a sign of gratitude. She also showed the audience a picture of her butt. Local conservationist Terry Corwin of the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County took an unexpected tack, saying, “If we want to have renewable buildings, we have to have renewable building materials.� She advocated cutting down trees in Santa Cruz County responsibly, in order to support the 17,000 new housing units we’re expected to need in the next 25 years. Fiercely protecting our local environment, she said, can create “islands of privilege.� We could end up keeping our trees, but take trees from Latin America and the Congo, she said, resulting in environmental “haves� and “have nots.� Musician Luc Reynaud shared his story of how victims of one unfortunate situation wound up helping victims of another, halfway around the world: he volunteered after Hurricane Katrina, creating a song with kids at a shelter. Later, he and the kids recorded the song and a few years later Jazon Mraz picked it up, passing it on to an organization that frees and protects former child slaves in Africa. The song is called “Freedom.� TEDx moment: The whole audience sang along when Reynaud shared the song. Nina Simon, director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, shared the impressive strides MAH has made in the last few years, and coolly compared it to a dog, in terms of facilitating interaction between humans: “You know how a stranger will approach a person with a dog on the street and kind of talk through the dog to the person? I think museums should be more like dogs.� 0

It’s a Wrap

A man on a mission searches for Santa Cruz County’s best burrito BY JACOB PIERCE

W

hen I first moved to Santa Cruz for school, I remember looking out my parents’ car window and deciding to try to eat at every single Santa Cruz taqueria in search of the town’s best burrito. Even as a Southern California native, I was amazed by the high per capita ratio of burrito places to everything else. Six years later, I’ve been to at least two dozen burrito places around the county, taking pointers from friends and Internet clues. Finally, I’m ready to name my favorites. A great burrito boils down to quality ingredients—rice, beans, meat and salsa—that complement each other without clashing, or blending into one soupy mush. Santa Cruz County folks take their burritos seriously, and I know that around here, any list of the top 10 will be controversial. There are sure to be protests from those whose favorite doesn’t make the list. I welcome them, in the hopes of expanding my burrito experience even further. 1. Hector’s Mexican Bakery, Watsonville

and a large meal wrapped into a tortilla for only $4. If you’re feeling adventurous, I recommend the cabeza—Spanish for “head,â€? universal for “greasy-delicious.â€? Not unlike a good book, this melt-in-your-mouth burrito is difficult to put down. 3. JalapeĂąos Taqueria, Santa Cruz The tiny green shop at Laurel Street and Pacific Avenue is one of the only places in town to get chicken mole, an authentic Mexican treat. A super burrito of mole or of chicken nitza (marinated in orange juice and soy sauce) drips with deliciousness so thick you’ll wish you brought a change of clothes. 4. Carnitas Trejos, Watsonville On a weekend at lunchtime, Trejos is packed while mariachi music blasts over the stereo. In their burritos, spicy red salsa and grease sink to the bottom, making the tasty tortillas just about as translucent as a Japanese spring roll. The small cuts of meat are savory and juicy, and each bite of salsa is spicy and rewarding.

This place is all about the tortillas. They are moist on the inside and crunchy outside, making them a bit chewy overall. Combined with amazing rice, beans and salsa, those tortillas give their burritos a flavor all their own. Employees say they don’t cook their shiny tortillas in lard. So whatever it is in Hector’s recipe that keeps these tortillas so complex is a family secret.

5. Taqueria Mi Tierra, Watsonville

2. El Delicia’s, Watsonville

6. La Rosa, Watsonville

When I first walked into this joint on my friend’s recommendation, I thought I was in

Some of the most amazing things come in surprising places. This taqueria, squeezed between Kmart and Walgreens on one of Watsonville’s main drags, is a perfect example. Good prices and mouth-watering meats make it one of the must-try burrito stops in south Santa Cruz County.

the wrong grocery store. But when I looked to the rear left, I saw a deli-type counter and a woman serving up some very meaty burritos. Rice and beans are in shorter supply, but the meaty marinades taste as if someone held an empty plate outside as the heavens showered barbecue from the gods above. 7. Los Gallos, Scotts Valley There is never a dry bite in one of these burritos or a moment of bad service on a visit. The burritos are on the small side and a bit pricey, but they come with the perfect amount of guacamole and sour cream and are served tasty and moist without getting too soggy. 8. Taqueria Vallarta, Santa Cruz These might be some of the best-wrapped burritos anywhere. After NASA sends a man to Mars, leading astrophysicists should see how far into space one of these scrumptious torpedoes can last intact. I predict Saturn at least. 9. Los Pericos, Santa Cruz All the meats at Los Pericos are top-notch. And the shrimp burrito, filled with tasty cheese, is always a good bet. The rice, beans and wrapping aren’t quite on the same level as some of the other shops on this list, but customers are free to roam the very tasty salsa bar with a purchase. 10. Los Pinos, Santa Cruz These yummy burritos are practically the size of a grown man’s forearm. They also serve a French fry-loaded California burrito, a delicacy in more southern parts of California.

NOISES OFF Out of control parties can get Santa Cruz houses on the new list of “loud/unruly addresses.�

Rowdy Houses Why the SCPD keeps a list of party houses, and how to stay off it BY GEORGIA PERRY

T

his fall, several hundred UCSC students will move into residences in Santa Cruz, alongside professionals, families, and even babies. In light of this sometimes awkward coming together, it is important to note that there are certain concepts that exist in college dorms that don’t exist in the rest of the world: two people sharing a twin bed; fires caused by microwave popcorn accidents; and wearing flip-flops in the shower. The reverse is also true. I speak, of course, of “quiet hours.� In dorms these are just something the R.A. halfheartedly mumbles before soliciting participation in the 24-hour “Guitar Hero� contest. In real life, however, quiet hours are an actual period of time where it is required that we all be quiet, by order of the almighty Santa Cruz Municipal Code 9.36.010. Santa Cruz is a complicated rental market, and many people still don’t realize that the SCPD now keeps a list of “Loud/Unruly Addresses�

that can be viewed on the police department’s website. A house can land on the list by throwing a party an officer deems disruptive to the neighborhood, says SCPD lieutenant and official “party advisor� Colleen McMahon. The designation lasts for a full year, and stays with the house, not the residents, so unfortunately it is relatively common for the rowdy renters to move out, leaving new tenants to suffer the consequences.

Staying Unlisted Linda Burroughs, owner of Linda Burroughs Real Estate, recently sold a West Side house that landed on the loud/unruly list last fall. Her former renters were told they would be evicted if it happened again, as many adults and families live in the neighborhood. They cleaned up their act, but Burroughs was relieved that a family of “quiet people� bought the house this year.

“Beer pong at 4am is not respectful of anyone,â€? she says flatly, adding it is the result of partiers who “are obliterated and don’t know what’s going on around them.â€? Landlords are not obligated to tell tenants if the house is flagged before anyone signs a lease, says McMahon, so check the list to make sure. Even if your house is not one of the 72 on the list, look online to see if there are any in your neighborhood. If there are, your block may be more likely to get police attention on weekend nights. A great way to scope our your neighborhood’s reputation and get a read on your neighbors is to head to a block party (or throw one yourself). Santa Cruz Neighbors sponsors a day of citywide block parties on Sept. 30th. Check their website to see if one is happening in your area. That will make it much easier to‌

Know Your Neighbors It’s usually neighbors who call the police on loud parties, says Amanda Bateman of UCSC Student Judicial Affairs. Give neighbors notice before throwing a party and make sure they have your number. Ask them to call you before calling the police if they become uncomfortable. Not only does it establish you as a responsible and respectful neighbor, it might save you several hundred dollars in fines. Laurel St. resident and recent UCSC grad David Benterou and his housemates threw a party last Halloween for which they got clearance from neighbors, organized a “team� of a half dozen sober people to manage drunk shenanigans, and kept the party to a reasonable size of about 60 guests at their double-lot home. “There’s a stereotype of parties,� says Benterou, who likes to host music shows at his home as an alternative to local venues with cover charges, “People think all parties are frat students going wild and breaking things and not caring about their neighbors at all. But not every party is going to be a rager.� Despite playing by all the rules, Benterou’s party still landed his house on the Loud/Unruly House list, but it wasn’t the neighbors that called

HOW TO PA RT Y RESPON SIBL Y to complain. An officer happened to be in the area responding to a call at a nearby house, heard Benterou’s party from the street, and busted it, too. Which brings us to‌

Uninvited Guests The SCPD ups their enforcement and increases what they call “party patrols� during the first six weeks of school, says Paul Willis, an alcohol and drug educator with the UCSC Student Health Center. The first offense for a loud/unruly gathering is a formal warning, with the address being added to the list, and an optional citation. The fine is $500 for a second offense within a 12-month period, and $1000 for a third, which will also get you a misdemeanor. Read this carefully: You do not want a misdemeanor. Base fines are issued in addition to any extra charges you could incur if a cop needs to spend extra time with you, issue breathalyzers, or replace any equipment you break. Be compliant, respectful, and your fine is likely to be lower. After all, you’ve already paid enough: It’s actually students’ tuition that’s paying for the increased police presence these first six weekends of school. UCSC Campus Provost Alison Galloway has approved the expenditure of $25,000 each year to fund SCPD’s increased Friday and Saturday night enforcement. Citywide quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am. Respect this by moving your party inside at 10pm. Clean up any trash peppering your yard, too— and make sure no renegade party debris wound up in neighbors’ yards. In addition, UCSC Student Health Outreach and Promotion (SHOP) encourages party hosts to pre-set the volume of music, which can get cranked up to non-quiet-hours levels throughout the course of a party resulting in noise violations, loud/ unruly gathering citations, and idiots screeching along to “Call Me Maybe.� You don’t need that drama. For that matter, if anyone is singing along to “Call Me Maybe� in earnest, chances are this person is under age. Track the age of guests, and make sure you’re not serving alcohol to any youngsters—you can be liable.

HOW TO ROCK

RUSS FESTIVAL After breaking up in 2007 with a show at the Catalyst, reunited local heroes Good Riddance will return to play there Sept. 29.

Live and Local 20 Places to Catch a Show Around Santa Cruz 1. 418 PROJECT 418 Front St, Santa Cruz By day, the 418 Project offers rehearsal space for artists and performers. By night, it’s the destination of choice for hardcore, screamo, doom-metal and crust-punk bands. The shows are put on by Bane Shows, who also put on some shows at the Catalyst Atrium. The perfect place to discover local and national bands. 2. THE ABBEY 350 Mission St, Santa Cruz The Abbey is the kind of coffee shop that has that certain undeniable charm of local art hanging on the wall, fair trade coffee brewing and local acoustic bands playing their hearts out. 3. THE BLUE LAGOON 923 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz For local and regional indie, punk and reggae bands, The Blue Lagoon is the dive bar of choice. They have live music nearly every night. The lighting is dim. The sound is loud. The beer is cold. What more do you need? 4. BOARDWALK BOWL 115 Cliff Street; Santa Cruz Though shows are only once a week on Fridays,

they bring in some good-sized local and touring indie/punk bands. Plus, there’s bowling.

5. BOCCI’S CELLAR 140 Encinal St, Santa Cruz A surprisingly off-the-grid live music venue with a diverse blend of local cutting edge indie bands—rock, reggae, hip-hop and funk—with live music every night of the week. They served food, drinks and have bocci ball—which is most fun to play after a few drinks. 6. CAFÉ PERGOLESI 418 Cedar St, Santa Cruz The live music isn’t consistent, but the acts they get are diverse and cutting edge—Folk, punk, indie rock. It’s all there. It’s a good hangout for locals and college students alike. 7. THE CATALYST 1011 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz The Catalyst’s status as the premier venue for local and touring acts was only further cemented after they opened the Atrium as a separate room, providing a stage for bands that draw 200 as well as those who can draw 800 on the main

stage. They sometimes have concerts in both rooms in one night, featuring everything from punk, hip-hop, country, reggae, indie to electronic. Arguably one of the best venues in the entire Bay Area.

9. CROW’S NEST 2218 E Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz They have live comedy on Sunday, and Wednesday through Saturday is dedicated to live music. The bands play lengthy sets—sometimes original rock and reggae bands, sometimes cover bands. 10. DON QUIXOTE’S 6275 Highway 9, Felton Located in the Felton mountains, Don Quixote’s features regular live music— lots of big names in roots, plus rock and roll, blues and folk. They get their fair amount of tribute bands, too. 11. KUUMBWA JAZZ CENTER 320 Cedar St, Santa Cruz Kuumbwa is a plush, respectable jazz venue that attracts national, established names in jazz. They also feature soul, world beat and folk music. Local ska band Dan P and the Bricks even held their album release there earlier this year. 12. MOE’S ALLEY 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz Moe’s is known for their superb sound system and 6-day-a-week live music schedule. They feature mostly funk, soul, world beat, reggae and blues. 13. MOTIV 1209 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz Dance music is Motiv’s particular bent. Sometimes that means DJ dance nights. But they also have live electronic, dubstep, reggae and world beat performers. 14. POET AND THE PATRIOT 320 Cedar St, Ste E, Santa Cruz A quaint authentic Irish pub with occasional shows. They run the gamut from traditional Celtic music to loud local indie rock bands.

15. RIO THEATRE 1205 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz The Rio is easily the classiest venue in Santa Cruz, usually hosting a couple live shows a month (not to mention film festivals and other offbeat events). They bring respectable indie acts and singer-songwriters. Yo La Tengo, Aimee Man, They Might Be Giants and Architectures in Helsinki have all played there in recent history. There are actual theater seats for a comfortable night of entertainment. 16. SANTA CRUZ CIVIC AUDITORIUM 307 Church St, Santa Cruz The Civic is Santa Cruz’s biggest auditorium. They get big name musical acts and comedians (not to mention theater productions and roller derby). The Pixies played there not too long ago. Bill Maher, Jane’s Addiction and Green Day are playing there soon. 17. SHADOWBROOK 1750 Wharf Rd, Capitola The Shadowbrook is a fancy restaurant in Capitola with four acoustic performers who play there on different nights of the week. Romantic, indeed. 18. STREETLIGHT RECORDS 939 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz A record store doesn’t always provide the best ambience for live music, but they get great local and touring indie acts—often during the day, before they head out to whatever club they plan to play that night. Perfect chance to talk face to face to the performers. 19. SUBROSA ANARCHIST CAFÉ 703 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz SubRosa offers an intimate space for select acoustic performers and open mic nights. It is a community space run by volunteers, featuring a library filled with underground, left-leaning political books, organic coffee and just a nice meeting place for like-minded folks to congregate. 20. UGLY MUG 4640 Soquel Dr, Soquel They’ve got everything at the Ugly Mug—great coffee, delicious pastries, the best name for a coffee shop and lots of heartfelt folk, Celtic and bluegrass music.

THE CREPE PLACE 1134 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz Though perhaps an unexptected setting for a venue with live music several nights a week—a restaurant with no stage per se—The Crepe Place has attracted lots of folk, punk, ska and Americana acts. Because of the top-notch talent it draws, the place can get packed.

HOW T O P L A Y

Getting Out New Outdoor Hobbies to Pick Up

Start Surfing at Cowell’s Beach: The best place to start out if you’re new to surfing, Cowell’s offers long gentle waves textbook for longboarding. It’s generally understood that Cowell’s is the spot for beginner or novice surfers, so the scene in the water is crowded yet generally polite. Easily accessed by stairs off of West Cliff Drive or, if you’re up to it, by paddling out from the beach north of the wharf. Go Nude at Bonny Doon Beach: This small and secluded clothingoptional beach is off the radar for most Santa Cruz visitors. Located along the base of a cliff about eight miles up Highway 1, it’s well protected from gusts of wind, and for that reason it is perfect for a naked lunch—or even just a regular lunch. The only downside is the slightly difficult walk down the cliff. But once there you can actually hear the waves crashing on the shore and the birds calling to each other. Highway 1 at Bonny Doon Road. Drive north from Santa Cruz on Highway 1 about eight miles to the intersection of Bonny Doon; park in dirt lot on the left. Try Stand-Up Paddling: Every Friday morning at 8am and Sunday morning at 9am in good weather, Kayak Connection (413 Lake Ave. #3) hosts a stand-up paddling “social paddle� at the Santa Cruz Harbor— the perfect opportunity to get your stand-up sea legs under you, practice your skills and get to know other SUP surfers. The two-hour session is open to all. Free to those with their own boards; $18 to rent.

Discover Disc Golf: This county is crazy for disc golf; in fact, there are actually four disc golf courses throughout the Santa Cruz area. The best known by far is the 27-hole course at DeLaveaga Park (850 N. Branciforte Dr., Santa Cruz). There are a wide variety of shots required here—uphill, downhill, flat, tight and open tee-offs. There are wide open meadows, cliffs and ravines, large redwoods, eucalyptus and oaks on the sprawling course. There’s also a nine-hole course at UCSC, as well as an 18-hole course at Black Mouse Disc Gold Course (7179 Hacienda Way, Felton) and 18 holes at Aptos High School (100 Mariner Way, Aptos). All the courses are free.

The Catalyst’s redesigned atrium now hosts its own shows, providing a stage for bands that draw 200 as well as those who can draw 800 on the mainstage. Birdwatch at Elkhorn Slough: This 1,400-acre estuary, which drains the Pajaro Valley, lies in a large, shallow swale between Santa Cruz and Monterey. Quiet, wild and picturesque, Elkhorn Slough (1700 Elkhorn Road, Watsonville) offers world-class birding and was the focal point of the Monterey Bay Birding Festival this month. Expect to see over 340 species throughout the year, including herons, falcons, hawks, owls, cranes, titmice and hummingbirds.

HOW TO BE WEIRD

‘BOYS’ IN THE HOOD Would you jump off a Santa Cruz bridge if these vampires told you to?

Land of Odd A brief history of Santa Cruz strangeness BY MAT WEIR

A WE BUY YOUR CLOTHES

:20(1 6 0(1 6 ‡ &855(17 67</(6 No Appointment Needed &DVK RQ WKH 6SRW ‡ )ULHQGO\ %X\HUV 811 PACIFIC AVE. SANTA CRUZ 831-458-0555 ZZZ FURVVURDGVWUDGLQJ FRP

rtists, hippies and anyone with an acquired taste for the impossibly strange have been making the pilgrimage to Santa Cruz for decades. Drawn by the sheer beauty of the mountains and calm of the ocean, this city by the sea has collected a legendary reputation for keeping things different—even inspiring the local slogan “Keep Santa Cruz Weird�— but not everyone knows what keeps the magic going. Here’s a short list:

MYSTERY SPOT: With so many strange sights in Santa Cruz, the best place to start is with the original and world famous Mystery Spot. Since 1940, this 150-foot in diameter gravitational anomaly has astonished tourists and stumped amateur scientists as things within the spot are never as they appear. Is that billiards ball actually rolling up the hill? Maybe it’s an illusion, or maybe it’s the legendary alien spacecraft that crashed into the mountains; either way the Mystery Spot continues to astound (or at least entertain). ‘LOST BOYS’ LOCALES: Filmed almost entirely in Santa Cruz, no tour of the macabre would be complete without The Lost Boys. From the Boardwalk at the beginning of the movie, to the bridge where the lead character (literally and metaphorically) lets go of his human life, to the cliffs where the vampires

reside, there are plenty of eerie sights to see, and they’re easy to locate precisely online. PACIFIC AVENUE STREET PERFORMERS: Whether it’s the Great Morgani with his accordian and ever-changing array of faceless costumes, the eclectic mix of musicians and buskers, Mr. Twister the Clown or old favorites like Robert “Pinky� Steffen, Santa Cruz keeps weird with the many characters lining Pacific Avenue. On any given day a stroll to the grocery store can quickly turn into a spectacle of the strange and most Santa Cruzians wouldn’t have it any other way. BIGFOOT DISCOVERY MUSEUM: Along with aliens, living statues and vampires, Santa Cruz is also home to one of cryptozoology’s most famous subjects—and yes, he even has his own museum. Ever since his first Bigfoot sighting as a child, museum owner and curator Mike Rugg has been an artist with an obsession, getting his hand on anything and everything Bigfoot. In 2004, he took his love of this misunderstood creature and opened up the Discovery Museum in Felton off Highway 9 where the curious can go to see footprints, look at mysterious artifacts, and listen to Rugg’s vast knowledge of our mythical (?) evolutionary cousin. 0

LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES Because nobody does disco like‌ Venezuela? In the days of the early ‘90s, when punk reigned supreme, Los Amigos Invisibles set out to prove that the people could groove to beats beyond salsa and merengue. Melding the sounds of electric guitar and the driving force of disco while maintaining the flavors of their Latin roots, Venezuela’s first dance band was born. Credited with reinventing the Caracas club scene and offering their amigos a whole new way to party, the six-piece band is now anything but invisible. Just ask their Latin Grammy collection.

CAROLYN WONDERLAND Blues-rocker Carolyn Wonderland has

shared billing with the best of the best—B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and the Allman Brothers, to name a few. Her powerful voice won her comparisons to Janis Joplin and a slew of best female vocalist awards from her native Houston press. Whether performing solo or with her band the Imperial Monkeys, she delivers a unique and compelling blend of blues, rock, country, gospel, soul and even jazz. Catalyst; $10 adv/$15 door; 9pm.

ERIC LINDELL + ANSON FUNDERBURGH Though we may soon be seeing a studio collaboration from these two blue-eyed bluesmen, the only way to catch them together for now is out on the road. Eric Lindell began his career in Northern California, working as a baker by day and honing his guitar/keyboard/

harmonica/bass skills by night, but a move to New Orleans in 1999 further fueled his creative ambitions to craft his brand of funkinfused blues. Teamed with Texas blues player Anson Funderburgh, a staple of the scene since 1978, Lindell is sure to produce a night of raw, honest soul. Moe’s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (JG)

Radiohead, the Beatles and most recently, Michael Jackson, over to the dub side. Featuring a rotating roster of top-notch musicians this outfit puts a new twist on pop songs, taking them where they’ve never gone before. Catalyst; $14 adv/$19 door; 9pm. (CJ)

EASY STAR ALL-STARS Though many of us are well acquainted with Pink Floyd’s classic album, Dark Side of the Moon, how many have heard the Easy Star All-Stars’ Dub Side of the Moon, the tripped-out, echo- and delay-heavy take on the classic album? The numbers for the latter may dip a bit, but that reflects a lack of exposure rather than a lack of talent. Originally a studio band, the AllStars have made a name for themselves by pulling a number of popular acts, including

ABYSSINIANS Firmly established in their roles as elder statesmen of roots reggae, the Abyssinians have been bringing their conscious lyrics, tight three-part harmonies and minor key melodies to the masses for longer than many of today’s Jamaican superstars have been alive. Formed when reggae was more closely associated with cheerful pop vocals than Rastafarianism, the Abyssinians have contributed massively to the Jamaican musical soundscape, and their smash hit single “Satta Massagana� has taken on no less than anthemic status for the roots faithful around the world.

MATT THE ELECTRICIAN

DIEGO DEL MORAO

Few people work harder than Matt Sever. For years, Sever would set out for work before the break of dawn to wire houses as an electrician only to return home after the sun had already set. From there, he would go on well into the night to play his banjo at any bar in Austin that would let him. He has since quit his electrical profession to pursue music full-time, but he just couldn’t shake the name. Matt the Electrician comes with a voice softer than his calloused hands, along with an impressive work ethic and equally impressive beard. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (JG)

One of the most recognized Spanish flamenco guitarists, Diego del Morao is a wizard of the nylon strings, playing with mind-boggling technicality, grace and style. Born into a family with a long and rich musical legacy (he is the son of celebrated guitarist Moraito Chico II and grandson of flamenco innovator Manuel Morao) Morao carries on his family’s musical traditions while putting his own distinct mark on modern flamenco music. His latest album, Orate, features the legendary Paco de Lucia, one of the finest guitarists and flamenco composers of all time. Kuumbwa; $25 adv/$28 door; 7pm. (CJ)

A legend of Irish folk music, Andy Irvine has had an illustrious career as one of the Emerald Isle’s most celebrated musical treasures. As a teenaged guitarist in the 1960s, Irvine was inspired by the music of Woody Guthrie and started playing songs of his own, as well as favorites he discovered in the international folk canon. He has since been part of a number of renowned groups including Sweeney’s Men, Planxty and Patrick Street. As a solo artist and performer, Irvine has won the praise of audiences around the world with his appreciation of traditional music, his heartfelt songwriting, his engaging storytelling and his dynamic musicality.

Gyllenhaal unlikable?) Thanks to a routine traffic stop, they get on the bad side of some druglords. (Opens Fri at Aptos and Scotts Valley) DRIVE (2011) One day Ryan Gosling woke up and said “You know what? I talk way too much in my movies. I say, like, 15 words! I’ve got to stop being such a chatterbox.� So he made this movie, in which he has what I’m not sure technically qualifies as a speaking part. He plays a guy who drives— and doesn’t want to talk about it! Bryan Cranston has a small hey-look-I’m-theguy-from-Breaking-Bad role, and Albert Brooks is pretty awesome in what is probably his first role as the bad guy (if you don’t count Scorpio on The Simpsons). (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) FIGHTING FEAR (87 min.) Macario De Souza’s documentary about two surfing daredevils who push themselves to the edge has a special screening at the Del Mar on Wednesday, September 19. (Wed., Sept. 19 at the Del Mar.) FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL (R; 85 min.) Any comedy about girls who start a phone-sex line is sure to raise some controversial questions, like “What, phone sex lines still exist?� Cowriter and star Lauren Miller has been best known up to this point for showing up in hubby Seth Rogan’s movies. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9) THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET (PG-13; 101 min.) Several of the most famous exploitation flicks have “house� in their titles—“Last House on the Left,� “House on the Edge of the Park,� “Last House on Dead End Street.� So it’s a pretty crowded horror housing market, but this Jennifer Lawrence hauntyhouse flick is going for more of an upscale puzzle-movie thing. (Opens Fri at 41st Avenue and Green Valley) THE MASTER (R; 137 min.) See review, page 32. (Opens Fri at the Del Mar) TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE (PG-13; 111 min.) Clint Eastwood stars as a veteran baseball scout who takes his daughter on what could be his last recruiting trip. They find an empty chair, and Clint takes it under his wing and turns it into a major league star. OK, I’m not sure about that last part. (Opens Fri at Aptos and Scotts Valley)

Reviews 2016: OBAMA S AMERICA (PG; 89 min.) Conservative commentator and Christian apologist Dinesh D’Souza directs this look at Obama and where he might lead the nation. THE BOURNE LEGACY (PG-13; 135 min.) The fourth installment of the actionpacked Bourne films features a new hero to continue the saga of high-speed chases, narrow escapes and the deceptive webs that only a spy could spin. THE CAMPAIGN (R; 93 min.) Will Ferrell is a congressman running for re-election and Zach Galifianakis the schlub running against him in a race orchestrated by two scheming CEOs seeking to control a North Carolina district. With Jason Sudeikis. Directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Fockers, Dinner for Schmucks). THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY Henry Cavill goes and gets his family kidnapped while on vacation, because spy types are looking to recover a briefcase his father stole. Soon he’s on the run, winding through wacky thriller twists and trying to avoid improbable action sequences. HIT & RUN (R; 100 min.) A small-town couple embarks on a wild road trip that involves being chased by a federal marshal, a group of misfits and a friend from the past. LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE (PG; 101 min.) After a soldier dies in the line of battle overseas, his father Bob Revere runs for mayor of a small town, with the support of his grandson, to protect religious expression. LAWLESS (R; 115 min.) Not the Xena documentary you know you were hoping for, but fans of Nick Cave’s cult western The Proposition will be happy to see him back in murder-ballad form, adapting Matt Bondurant’s novel about bootleggers and corrupt lawmen in the Depression. THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN (PG) Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton are a couple who, unable to have children, bury a box in the back yard with all their wishes for a child. When little Timothy is born, they’re in for a big surprise. Directed by Peter Hedges (Dan in Real Life, About A Boy).

CHICKEN WITH PLUMS (PG-13; 93 min.) Neither Persian food porn nor a beguiling magical realist tale, Chicken With Plums is instead an unsteady follow-up to Persepolis by director/writer Marjane

North by North Fest BY CHRISTINA WATERS OKTOBERFEST IN DAVENPORT —WHO KNEW? But come to

think of it, what a great idea. Bring a major thirst and a sense of fun to the Davenport Roadhouse Restaurant and Inn on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30, for an outdoor spectacle of great food, beer, live music and lots of stuff to make the kids happy. The event, by the way, helps to raise funds for beach cleanup efforts in Santa Cruz, called Tip the Ocean—developed by LiVBLUE

(www.livblue.org) in partnership with the Davenport Roadhouse and Save Our Shores. This very only-in-Santa-Cruz alliance between an outdoor beeffest and a beach-awareness program begins at noon each day. The Roadhouse’s chef will be grilling chicken and locally made sausages, plus serving sauerkraut and goulash soup. Look for plenty of full-bodied brews, including IPA and Amber from the Santa Cruz Mountain

A win-win coup has occurred over at Capitola Book CafĂŠ, which has just become the new home of Michaella Olivarri’s Capitola Coffee Roasters & Patisserie. This means that the ever-evolving Book CafĂŠ now offers an expanded line-up of fresh-baked pastries—mmmmmm, scones fresh from the oven!— and coffee drinks. “The first weekend has been fantastic,â€? enthused bookstore coowner Melinda Powers. “The new menu was very well received and our patrons couldn’t be happier. We feel this partnership is a strong step in the right direction for Capitola Book CafĂŠ.â€? Olivarri has plans to serve light lunch and dinner fare as well as soups, salads and sandwiches, along with beer and wine. You now have even more reasons to spend quality time in this much-loved local literary landmark next to the 41st Avenue Cinema.

Get Down with Dirty Girl MANRESA sous chef Jacob Pilarski and Post Ranch Inn sous chef Matt Millea are teaming up at

a next pop-up dinner featuring the

fab fruits and veggies of Dirty Girl Produce of Santa Cruz. It happens at Happy Girl Kitchen CafÊ in Pacific Grove on Sunday, Oct. 7 and while the menu will emerge the day of the event, you can bet it will all add up to an unforgettable feast. The pop-up dinner concept is wildly popular, and this event teams gifted chefs with celebrated ingredients, including amusing starters, seasonally specific entrees and eclectic endings. Dinner—$55, BYOB!—starts @ 5:30pm at the cafÊ at 173 Central Avenue in atmospheric Pacific Grove—call 831.373.4475 for details.

Santa Cruz County Food & Wine Event of the Year On September 22, from 5-9pm, plan to enjoy outstanding local foods and wines, while celebrating some of the area’s leading locovores—all to support foster care agencies. Formerly of Chez Panisse, chef Luke Wetzel has planned a special menu loaded with organic items. Dinner begins with cheese and charcuterie trays, and then involves a variety of entrees sided with fresh harvested salads and melon courses. Top area pastry chefs will contribute a range of delicious desserts. The event takes place at the “green� Community Foundation Santa Cruz County in Aptos, where your $75 ticket lets you dine with food and wine pioneers including Second Harvest Food Bank’s Danny Keith, Malabar Trading Company’s Annaliese Keller, heirloom seed adventurer Renee Shepherd and Love Apple Farm’s Cynthia Sandberg. The event’s Silent Auction is loaded with wonderful opportunities, such as wine tasting at Annieglass, a chocolate-making class with Richard Donnelly, a vineyard tour and tasting with Richard Alfaro, and much, much more. 0

PAUL’S PLACE To get to Paul's you drive miles down a long, very dusty, bumpy dirt road, 12 miles from the small eclectic town of Bisbee, Arizona. Paul purchased 10 acres here some years ago in the desert close to the Mexican border. Working part time for a contractor, he was able to gather scrap wood and supplies with which he built a very small and appealing abode, on his own. There was no power or water so it took a long time to construct, all sawing by hand, all supplies brought in small trips. For the floor he tamped the earth until the surface was hard and smooth. From the soil he made adobe bricks for the walls. Water was lugged in huge containers, purchased in town. Cooking was done on a camp stove and a solar oven. He made a compost toilet that worked with dirt, sawdust and straw, and amazingly had no odor. Later he would recycle the contents into the garden. He planted some trees but had to water by hand so they did not all survive. Later, on the roof he placed a gutter system that filled underground tanks from the monsoon rains. This now provides enough water for most of the year. With no electricity Paul's circadian rhythm worked well with sunsets and sunrises. Reading at night by candlelight. No cold drinks. Neighbors far away and reclusive. He seldom went into town. Being so close to Mexico, in previous years he could hear people crossing his land in the middle of the night. In the mornings he found discarded plastic water bottles and odd items telling the tale of desperate souls attempting the crossing. Some years ago a huge metal wall was built on the border a few miles away. Now fewer make the attempt. Paul is in a relationship and now lives mostly in town. He sometimes returns for a few days at a time to his desert retreat. I asked Paul what the appeal had been for living so alone, with none of the modern conveniences we are so dependent upon, so much time just to survive. Weaned from society, at first it was very difficult, he said, and he felt vulnerable. After a time it became peaceful, and he enjoyed the sense of freedom, he began to feel uninhibited, and expansive. More sensitive to and aware of his surroundings, he developed and enjoyed a feeling of awe. Paul, a potter, spent hours alone making pottery there with a kick wheel and also introduced a unique pottery slip/glaze from the land that he still uses. While you may not have any interest in roughing it like my son Paul did, you may dream of a sweet retreat space somewhere, a place to recapture, restore and preserve your individuality. Suggestions are just a call away.
