ART & PRODUCTION

Like Good Little Villagers [Re: “Flack Market,â€? Sept. 19] I remember Safeway’s catchy little melody back in the eighties: “Friendly neighborhood store and a whole lot more.â€? In the quaint village of Aptos these days, Safeway really is going to be a whole lot more, and she ain’t none too friendly about it. How quickly the warmth and bright storefront revert to silent hostility when the community disagrees with a major expansion agenda. Ah, there’s the ruthless beast with the friendly façade removed. Grrrrr—don’t get in our way, just shop and leave like good little villagers. The recent public hearing at Aptos Safeway where citizens spoke out about the expansion swallowing up family businesses was punctuated by the statement of Robert Lyman, Safeway architect: “I want to capture what Aptos is all about.â€?

Hmm—that must mean at present Aptos is not quite up to a level of being what the old lumber and apple vicinity is “all about.� In 1974, I recall a San Francisco developer and attorney wanting to show us what Lighthouse Field was “all about� via a sprawling convention center. In the spirit of a near revolt, the townsfolk have the same spirit starting by shopping at Nob Hill and Deerpark instead of Safeway. THEODORE F. MEYER Santa Cruz

If We Had a Hammer [Re: “The Fifth Dimension,� Sept. 26] As past executive director of Mountain Community Resources, I’ve observed the strong leadership and consensus-building skills of former Board President Eric

Hammer. His leadership in expanding services to youth and into Scotts Valley, experience on the Boulder Creek Parks and Recreation Board and as a local businessman are why he has my vote. Eric and I grew up in SLV with political parents. I am now a legislative analyst. We know via experience that SLV, Scotts Valley and the District face serious challenges such as balancing economic development with conservation; adequate funding for education and social programs to assist families on the edge; and issues such drug use among youth (especially methamphetamine), among other basic problems such as road infrastructure. Our rural area has no local government like cities and municipalities. As a political analyst, it is clear that we have a disadvantage, even to Scotts Valley, and must elect a strong local voice who knows the whole District, not someone who suddenly shows up at election time—that’s what we really need. It’s not enough to have experience; it’s the kind of experience that matters. TOVE BEATTY Felton

Crop of Investors? Thanks for the article on organic farmers, farmland and a strong local food system (“Plow of Silence,� Sept. 5). Your article emphasized the important issue of farmland loss. Is anyone organizing a community investment fund to purchase farmland so young farmers will have a place to grow the vital food we want? JULIE ESTERLY Santa Cruz

The short answer: There are Community Land Trusts in Santa Cruz County raising money to purchase farmland. There are also groups like Slow Money and Food Commons dedicated to investing in the local food system. — Editor

dollars aren’t there, the question is, should we be buying new property? We don’t have the money,� said Roy Sterns, deputy director for communications at the California State Parks. The State’s parks budget had been steadily decreasing for about a decade, but the recession sealed the deal in 2008. In fact, the park even had to temporarily close down several existing parks.

SAVING THE FOREST FOR THE TREES The heart of the redwoods in the 8,532 acres of undeveloped land near Davenport purchased by conservationist groups in the Cemex deal.

The New Conservation How the Cemex land deal represents the future of park land BY AARON CARNES

S

anta Cruz’s “Great Park� is finally coming together, but not the way most people expected. Instead, the purchase of 8,532 acres of undeveloped land near Davenport from Cemex, owners of the nearby closed-down cement plant, represents a whole new era of land conservation—one no longer in the hands of the state. “That model that’s operated for several generations in California is broken, and who knows if it will ever return? I think the expectation within the conservation community is we need to come up with a new model. The new model is what’s being implemented at Cemex,� says Land Trust of Santa Cruz

deputy director, Stephen Slade. For years, local conservation group Sempervirens Fund had talked about creating a “Great Park� in the Santa Cruz Mountains, one that would connect Wilder Ranch, Pogonip, Henry Cowell and Big Basin. It would stretch all the way up the Pescadero, protecting a vast mountain range from development and allowing the public to enjoy as much of the wild lands as possible. The $30 million Cemex deal was a huge step toward their goal, and saw Sempervirens teaming with not only the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County, but also the Nature Conservancy, Peninsula Open Space Trust and Save the Redwoods League to form the Living Landscape Initiative, and

purchased 8,532 acres of undeveloped land near Davenport from Cemex. “This was an opportunity that came along because the economy was in a slump and the cement company needed to sell the land,� says Slade. “It’s the largest undeveloped property in Santa Cruz County and key connector between four already protected parks. By protecting it you create this 27,000-acre block of undeveloped wild lands. It was a historic opportunity.� But the opportunity came out of necessity, as the state no longer has the money to purchase and protect new land. “Nobody ordered us to stop buying land or anything like that. The operating dollars aren’t there. So if the operating

Many locals are asking what the Living Landscape Initiative’s plans are for the Cemex property, specifically if they will open it to the public. Representatives from the LLI pledged to do so at a town hall meeting in Davenport this summer. “Public access is fundamental to the project. It always has been. It’s a piece we have yet to do, but we’re moving pretty quickly to that piece,� says Reed Holderman, executive director of Sempervirens. What hasn’t been determined is what percentage of the 8,532 acres will be open to the public. Some of the property will be dedicated to creating reserves for sensitive species and some to sustainable timber harvesting. Already, several rare and sensitive species have been identified on the property, including the California red-legged frog, Peregrine falcons, steelhead trout, Coho salmon and potentially the marbled murrelet. Also, according to Chris Wilmes, a professor of Environmental Studies at UCSC, the Cemex property is a very important component of the local mountain lion habitat. It is part of a major breeding area,� Wilmers says. “We’re not exactly sure why, but mountain lions need seclusion to reproduce.� While conservationists consider it a major victory, the Cemex acquisition is part of a greater plan to acquire and protect 80,000 acres in and around the Silicon Valley over the next 20 years. “It feels ambitious and doable at the same time, in a pretty short timeframe,� Slade says. 0

Tannery, Rested and Ready “It’s a pretty amazing project, isn’t it?� asks artist /\USZO 5ZSOa]\.

“It needs a lot of work,� Comstock says of the levee. “It’s not a place of pride for us right now. It’s constantly filled with debris, and there’s criminal activity.� The Santa Cruz County Visitors Council recently showed journalists around the Tannery’s second phase, a series of work studios that opened earlier this year. (The Tannery’s first phase, a group of subsidized housing units, finished in 2009, and a third phase, a performing arts studio, is in the fundraising stages.) Last month’s tour came during something of a moment in the sun for the Santa Cruz arts community. This past summer, the studios were featured in Interior Design magazine, a glossy publication based in New York. The recent “familiarization tour� showcased the Tannery, and other notable Santa Cruz spots, to writers from Yahoo Travel, the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco magazine and Smart Meetings magazine. It was one destination on the successful tour, organized by the CVC’s Christina Glynn, with stops also at Hotel Paradox, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, Storrs Winery, the Olive Connection and Soif. “These media visits afford us the opportunity to showcase the best of the best of Santa Cruz,� says Glynn, “because ultimately travel writers and consumer publications are the gatekeepers of information to the visitor.� 0

The San Lorenzo River levees are notorious for their beer cans, cigarette butts and remnants of leftover encampments. But with the election approaching and public safety issues on voters’ minds, the levees have Santa Cruz City Council candidates brainstorming about creative ways to remove these stigmas and shore up the bastion of natural beauty. Council candidate AbSdS >ZSWQV’s suggestion is levee-facing businesses. He envisions kiosks between Highway 1 and Soquel Avenue on the river’s northern side, somewhere between Trader Joe’s and Office Depot. Increased traffic, he hopes, would allow residents to feel comfortable along the scenic river’s paths and reclaim the area. “I think it’s a shame we don’t maximize that resource,� Pleich says. In terms of new businesses, he’s not entirely sure how easy it will be to comply with existing planning codes, but he wants to try. Candidate >O[SZO 1][ab]QY, cofounder of Take Back Santa Cruz, would like to see farm-to-table dinners on the levee. Nearby farmers and restaurants could bring fresh produce, she says, to eager locavores sitting down for a meal. “It needs a lot of work,� Comstock says of the levee. “It’s not a place of pride for us right now. It’s constantly filled with debris, and there’s criminal activity.� Mayor 2]\ :O\S, who’s running again for council, says progress has been made. The city has mowed the levee grass, painted mile markers on the paths and installed a disc golf course in San Lorenzo Park. Police also increased their patrols this past summer, he says. At a recent council forum, Lane even floated the idea of bringing food trucks near the levees—an idea he credits to Vice Mayor 6WZO`g 0`gO\b, who’s been working on the plan for over a year. Hard to imagine people could someday think of the levee as the best place in town for a hot dog.

She isn’t asking the group of writers gathered in her studio about her own impressive jewelry, but about the studio itself, which she’s renting at the Tannery Arts Center off Highway 9. “I waited to do the business until I got the space here,� she says of the historic hide-tanning headquarters turned art mecca.

AMINO AMENABLE Bay Area psychologist Julie Ross is a proponent of using amin brain health. Santa Cruz acupuncturist and herbologist Cally Haber has trained unde

Acid Test

Amino acids may offer a holistic approach to brain health BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

T

hese days, doctors aren’t just writing more prescriptions, they’re piling them on. In a 2010 study by Dr. Ramin Mojitabai, doctors were found to prescribe two or more medicines during a single office visit 60 percent of the time—a 20 percent increase since 2000. These prescription cocktails are especially common in treating mental issues, since many anti-depression medicines cause side effects like sleep disturbances, weight gain, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. But long-term use of multiple pharmaceuticals has its own consequences—diabetes, high cholesterol, increased dosages as

tolerance rises and cognitive decline— and one reality remains: “The trouble is, they [antidepressants] don’t cure anything, so when you go off them, you risk becoming depressed again,� Julia Ross, M.A., told Vogue last year. Ross is a psychologist in Mill Valley, and author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure. She also trains practitioners across the country in using brain-specific amino acids—the building blocks of those chemicals that make us feel good—as a way of restoring neurotransmitter health. According to Ross, neurotransmitter deficiency can be the culprit in a slough of symptoms, from sugar and alcohol

no acids to restore er Ross. cravings, to insomnia, chronic pain, Attention Deficit Disorder, apathy and even suicidal thoughts. Forty three-year-old Larry Davis, a Santa Cruz man who spoke openly about his depression in this column, is like many who have tried antidepression medications but ultimately decided they weren’t worth the side effects. Along with daily heart-pumping exercise and a healthy diet, he points to amino acids as a major bullet against his depression. It all started when the self-proclaimed skeptic of non-Western medicine found himself in the Seabright office of acupuncturist and licensed herbologist Cally Haber, who trains under Ross. After administering Davis’ first-ever acupuncture session, she had him fill out a questionnaire that identifies the symptoms of neurotransmitter deficiencies. All signs pointed very strongly to low levels of serotonin and catecholemines. She prescribed the amino acids 5-HTP (a precursor to

serotonin) and L-tyrosine. “I very begrudgingly agreed that I would go to New Leaf and I would purchase my amino acid. I woke up and felt like I was 16 years old again. My mind was clear, I wasn’t having wordfinding problems like I often do, I was present, the colors were more vibrant. It was literally overnight,� said Davis. Sitting within the soothing green walls of her office, Haber warns me that it isn’t always this wonderfully simple when it comes to amino acids. “For some people it’s simple and works great, for other people, they might be pyroluric, their bodies might not be able to process zinc or B6,� she says. But many believe it’s worth a try, and even in cases of pyroluria, Haber’s found successful combinations for patients who are looking for mental stability and wellbeing. As vice president of the National Acupuncture Detox Association (NADA), Haber has worked at recovery centers throughout the county, using auricular protocol, or ear-focused acupuncture, a method that first became popular in treating opiate withdrawal in the 70s, before it was found to aid in the withdrawal from all addictions, as well as depression. Serotonin, dopamine, catecholemines and endorphins are all important ingredients for mental wellness, and Ross swears by the importance of a diet high in proteins, good fats and whole carbohydrates. Eating breakfast is also imperative to kick start the brain with a supply of neurotransmitter-building amino acids. For vegetarians and those who are more severely deficient, reasonably priced supplements are available at Staff of Life. Although Haber acknowledges that antidepressants can save lives, she hopes to teach people that the health of their brain is internal. “The way I work all together is really educating people to take care about their own health, and with the aminos, to me, the idea is getting people comfortable enough with them that they can self regulate,� said Haber. 0

Fresh Approach SANTA CRUZ RESTAURANT WEEK

BY CHRISTINA WATERS, GEORGIA PERRY & STEVE PALOPOLI

Le Cigare Volant chef Ryan Shelton

T

he alliance between a restaurant and its own kitchen garden is one of those natural culinary agreements that maximizes a chef’s options and diner’s satisfaction. Here on our famously wellcultivated coast, the booming “farm-to-table� trend not only fuels chefs’ imaginations, but also helps restaurants and their eco-conscious patrons to walk the walk of sustainable, local, organic consumption. In celebration of Santa Cruz Restaurant Week 2012, we took a closer look at four restaurants around the area whose chefs are helping to bring the dining scene into this brave new hyperlocal world with their own kitchen gardens. In some cases, their restaurants have been drawing from the garden for years; others are constructing their own for the first time. A full listing of restaurants participating in Santa Cruz Restaurant Week begins on page 28.

Le Cigare Volant | Santa Cruz Last week, Le Cigare Volant chef Ryan Shelton drew from the restaurant’s biodynamic gardens in San Juan Bautista to create dish after dazzling dish of seasonal creativity. Dry-farmed green and crimson tomatoes, honeydew melon and shell beans converged in Shelton’s sparkling salad course. Grilled corn and squashes adorned a platter piled high with roasted suckling

pig. And into vast platters of paella, perfumed by smoked paprika and local shellfish, came more of the fresh herbs and vegetables from the chef’s in-house garden. Even the palaterefreshing intermezzo contained the garden’s yellow flame peaches and basil, saturated with the winemaker’s sparkling moscato. Shelton was already a veteran of

the restaurant garden experience by the time he arrived at Le Cigare Volant early this year. His time at Mountain View’s Chez TJ gave him access to the restaurant’s “back yard� garden. “It was great to be able to grow lots of specialty items and edible flowers and herbs,� says Shelton. By the time he arrived at the Bonny Doon Vineyard restaurant on the

Westside of Santa Cruz, the vineyard estate had its own garden up and running. “Having the garden available is great,� Shelton admits. “It is laid out with difficult-to-get items, specialty produce, things that are expensive or tricky to order like cucumber flowers, onion blossoms and those little one-inch baby carrots.� 15

Shelton at work

The other big plus of a proprietary garden is quality control. “Everything can be fresh—everything can be picked at the peak of ripeness.� The produce can go directly from farm to kitchen, without making flavoreroding stops at distributors, and then to retail shelves. “For example, Seascape strawberries, I love these. They’re perfect,� Shelton gushes. “The little heart-shaped fruit, the bright red color and with intense flavor. But they break down in one or two days, and no distributor will touch them.� So Shelton has his favorite Seascape strawberries grown in the vineyard garden. Bonny Doon’s vineyard manager Nicole Walsh is responsible for growing the vegetables and other items for Shelton’s menu. And he is grateful for her sensitivity to his requests. We have a good proportion of harvest size, targeted to exactly what I can use.� Having dedicated harvests gives the chef peak freshness, exactly the items he wants to work with, and “heightened quality.� Shelton gives our local farmers markets high marks for top quality tomatoes, but he’s a believer in the heirloom varieties and their flavor intensity produced on the Popelouchum property (an Ohlone designation for

the land that is now home to Bonny Doon Vineyards’ 280-acre estate), thanks to biochar techniques. “The melons are awesome, especially the watermelon,� he says. “Frankly, nine out of 10 watermelons aren’t worth picking. But ours are harvested at the peak of ripeness.� Shelton says he tries to highlight garden items in at least one dish from each course on his menu. “I’m looking forward next to kabocha squash,� he confides. “It needs a perfect moment of ripeness in order to avoid overstarchiness. The farm is fertilized by biochar which encourages intense concentration of micro-flora. The results—biodynamic, dry-farmed, certified organic—have great depth of flavor,� he believes. Santa Cruz diners look for quality and creativity, Shelton contends. “They like the craft.� Access to his own garden, one he directs and designs as the seasons change, lets the chef “keep everything developing� on his menu, which now includes a perfected gluten-free flatbread pizza. The garden’s harvests lend his dishes an extra vitality, a “departure from the everyday.� —Christina Waters

Oak Tree chef Sebastion Nobile

Oak Tree Ristorante | Felton The Oak Tree Ristorante in Felton is nestled in tall Redwood trees that are over 1,000 years old. Growing next to them are fruit trees just starting their lives, planted only a couple of years ago by owner and chef Sebastian Nobile. Nobile opened the restaurant three years ago, and within a year began planting the fruit trees and making garden beds for herbs, berries and artichokes. His olive trees were just planted this year, meaning the little khaki-colored orbs will be populating Oak Tree’s menu within a couple more years. Originally from Uruguay, Nobile wears a floppy red chef’s hat in the kitchen, along with plaid shorts and flip-flops: the ultimate laid-back chef. He chats animatedly in Italian with his co-workers while grilling tomatoes and squash. Raised by his Italian grandfather, he grew up helping his grandfather in the kitchen and seeing him cook for the family every day. Nobile is proud of the four boxes of fruit his apple and pear trees yielded on a recent harvest. He’s been using them in dessert pies, salads and breakfast dishes. He also grows peaches, cherries, persimmon and guava.

His breakfast dishes are largely sourced from eggs Nobile’s own hens lay on his property in Ben Lomond. When he can’t get an ingredient from the gardens at his home or at the restaurant, Nobile turns to the local Felton farmers’ market for produce. The seasonal menu at Oak Tree focuses on using ingredients at the peak of their yearly ripeness and abundance, including fish, which he also sources locally in the Bay Area. The open layout of Oak Tree allows guests of the rustic, wood-heavy dining room to view Nobile at work in the kitchen while they’re enjoying their meals. Nobile spent a significant amount of time preparing the wooded area for productive gardening, ensuring an even better crop in the years to come. His olive trees are housed in an impressive enclosure made with cedar and wire, ensuring protection from any local wildlife that may have an appetite. All of this he has done himself with help from his staff. The landscaping around the property is his, too. “Professional landscapers don’t take care the same way,� he says simply. —Georgia Perry

Main St. Garden owner Tara Pesta

Main St. Garden | Soquel The Bay Area culinary scene is known for its dedication to local and organic sourcing, but sometimes NorCal foodies can get a little delusional in thinking it all started with Alice Waters. In fact, Main St. Garden’s executive chef Chris Caloni had to go to Italy to get an old-school vision of regional eating. There, of course, what people eat has been defined by where they live for centuries. After seeing what Italian chefs were doing with fresh, local ingredients, Caloni wanted to bring the same approach to Santa Cruz. He found the ideal spot to do this at Main Street, thanks to the restaurant’s impressive on-site garden. It was crafted by local farmer Alice Lee, who designed everything from the dimensions of the beds to the layout to the water-timing system. “This garden wouldn’t exist without her,� says Tara Pesta, who with her managing partner Mauro Zanella took over Main Street Garden from Evan Borthwick in May. Borthwick had bought the restaurant in 2009, when it was Theo’s. Lee continues to maintain the garden, and its supply of fresh produce to the kitchen. She uses sustainable practices whenever possible, and the produce is grown

according to national organic standards. Lee also composts and takes care of the chickens that provide the fresh eggs Caloni uses in the kitchen. “She knows how to rotate crops and which vegetables work best in our soil,� says Pesta. Carloni often starts his menu planning with a simple walk through the garden. What he sees in the imminent harvest can be a starting point from which he jumps off in creating his dishes. Everyone involved takes pride in the fact that the restaurant’s approach to “Italian countryside cuisine� puts extra emphasis on the countryside, with anything they don’t grow in the garden sourced from local, organic farms. Their fish is from local, sustainable catches, and their meats pasture-raised. Lee works with Carloni to decide what to plant, and helps integrate the weekly harvest. “I’ve been gardening at Main St. now for two and a half years,� says Lee, “and every year we learn something new, and try new things and get better at timing crops so that the kitchen isn’t empty or overwhelmed.� —Steve Palopoli

Hollins House chef John Paul Lechtenberg

Hollins House | Pasatiempo When I arrive at Hollins House to meet John Paul Lechtenberg, the 25-year-old executive chef emerges from the kitchen wearing a spotless white chef jacket and a pencil tucked behind his ear. He has a no-nonsense buzz haircut and a round face. I’m there to talk about his kitchen, but the first thing he wants to do is get away from it for a bit. We hop on a golf cart and head to the top of the hill on curvy roads outlined by big houses with impeccably landscaped yards. From the top of the Pasatiempo golf course, the view of the boardwalk in the distance reminds him that there’s life outside the kitchen. His ability to keep things in perspective is perhaps why he doesn’t operate like the chefs you see on TV. There’s no yelling or throwing things, and no drinking or smoking. “Have you seen the movie Waiting?� the Santa Cruz native asks me. “It’s not like that.� At Hollins House he is experimenting with molecular gastronomy, grass-fed beef, and deconstructing food: “The ingredient should taste like what it is,� he says. He composts and recycles, practices he says aren’t followed in

more than 1 in 20 kitchens. He also makes a point to get all his fish, meat and produce from within a 100-mile radius, and keep the ingredients seasonal. When it comes to sustainable fish, he calls having the Bay so close “the most ridiculous advantage ever.â€? Lechtenberg is currently in the process of constructing an on-site garden, from which he expects to be sourcing produce as early as this spring. In addition to herbs such as Thai basil and chives, Lechtenberg is especially excited about growing a variety of heirloom beets, heirloom tomatoes, sweet potatoes, greens and a variety of chiles—including jalapeĂąos that can be made into a house chipotle. Above all, Lechtenberg understands that Hollins House is a special place, and guests are usually there celebrating something. He anticipates the fresh produce from the garden will only add to the specialness of the restaurant. “Money is not easy to come by. I always ask my staff, ‘Is that something you’d serve to your kids on their birthday?’ If the answer’s no, then it should not go out.â€? —Georgia Perry

5 Tips for Tippers A former waitress offers a few easy ways for diners to help staff help them BY LILY STOICHEFF

F

ood brings people together. This is particularly true when you’re dining knee-to-knee in a restaurant at peak capacity on a Saturday night. And nothing tears diners and staff apart quite like a botched entrÊe or—gasp!—a split check. My mother is a chef and, in addition to growing up in a kitchen, I’ve been waiting tables for eight years. I also love dining out and do so as often as I can. I’ve experienced my fair share of horror stories as both server and served. Most of the time these mishaps are the results of miscommunication or simple misconceptions. In the hope of preventing a new generation of disgruntled Yelpers, I’ve compiled a list of tips for diners that could help make the lives of both sides easier. Are there exceptions to these rules? You bet. Is this a complete list? Absolutely not. This is just one restaurant lover attempting to make the world a better place. It’s okay if you don’t like your meal, but tell the server right away. Maybe you asked for medium rare, and your ribeye came charred. Maybe you thought you liked eggplant parmesan up until the moment when you realized you didn’t. Either way, the restaurant wants you to enjoy your time there, and it doesn’t do anybody any good for you to pick unhappily at your food.

1.

2.

For some reason, “I’m good� and ambiguous answers like it have become popular responses to the server inquiry, “Can I take that away for you?� Are you “good� as in finished? Or “good� as in still happy to hold on to your plate? Keep it simple and straightforward, or expect a blank look of confusion. When I waited tables I always found it very helpful if, after I dropped off a check, the guests would leave the bill some place I could easily reach without disturbing them, with their credit card or cash poking out a bit. That way I didn’t have to stalk them while wondering if they were ready for me to ring up their bill. Splitting a check three ways is pretty much the max a server can do without busting out the calculator. Anything larger than that and you do the math. Better yet, have one guest pick up the check and figure out who owes who what the next day, when you haven’t just had a couple glasses of wine. If your meal is blundered, try to consider if it was actually your server’s fault. If they were attentive, but you fell prey to long kitchen times or a sloppy bartender, make an effort to direct your complaint to a manager and don’t take it out of your server’s tip.

TROUBLE IN MINDFULNESS Rachel Neumann talks about her book ‘Not Quite Nirvana’ at Bookshop Santa Cruz Oct. 11.

Off The Road to Nirvana Rachel Neumann’s book on mindfulness for skeptics has a different goal BY STEVE PALOPOLI

Jerry Douglas 5IVSTEBZ t 0DUPCFS t 1. Jerry Douglas is the world’s most renowned Dobro player, and has garnered 13 Grammy Awards while being named “Musician of the Year� by the Academy of Country Music a remarkable 11 times. He is the unmistakably American sound behind Alison Krauss & Union Station, Elvis Costello’s Sugarcanes, and the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Don’t miss this celebrated instrumentalist and singer, who has been described as “the Mohammed Ali of the Dobro�. 410/403&% #:

831.620.2048

San Carlos Street at Ninth Avenue Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

When Rachel Neumann says “skeptic,� she means skeptic. “Reverence is difficult for me,� admits the author of Not Quite Nirvana: A Skeptic’s Journey to Mindfulness, who will speak at Bookshop Santa Cruz Oct. 11. So it was not with reverence that she approached working as an editor for famed Vietnamese Buddhist spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh a decade ago. But with a solid background in journalism and the corresponding curiosity that usually accompanies it, she did have an open mind and an eagerness to uncover whatever insights were locked away in his experience. But she was also a somewhat jaded New Yorker, with kids and a fast-paced life and career. She could sense that Thich Nhat Hanh did indeed possess the mindfulness—the “there-ness,� as she calls it in the book—that she longed for, but her earliest experiences trying to put what she learned from him into practice in her daily life were a disaster. She was trying too hard to reach that fabled perfect state that Americans usually think of, to quote The Big Lebowski, as “some kind of Eastern thing.� That’s when she came up with the idea of “not quite nirvana.� “The trick,� she says by telephone from her current home in the East Bay, “is not trying to get to that perfect place.�

And ironically, it’s even more difficult now that she lives in the Bay Area—as opposed to New York, where nobody is expecting enlightenment, anyway. “Living in the Bay Area, there’s so many lovely things around, I think you can be fooled into thinking that nirvana can actually happen.� The book charts her learning curve, relating her highs and lows on her own personal path to semi-enlightenment, and many of the hard lessons on the way. Throughout, she considers the questions we can all ask about how present we are really being in our everyday lives. It’s a smart, relatable repackaging for our times of a very old idea: mindfulness is not a destination, it’s a journey. “I had no interest in mindfulness when I started this job, which I think is funny in itself,� she says. “I’d never been interested in personal serenity. I thought it had very little to do with me.� Now, of course, she does. But the reverence thing—that’s been harder to come around to. “I’m getting there,� she says. “I guess I’m a slow learner.�

WAYNE KRANTZ A frequent collaborator with artists as prominent as Steely Dan and Billy Cobham, Wayne Krantz’s unique jazz fusion guitar sound has earned the musician his stripes. Since 1986, Krantz has built an impressive solo career on a foundation of nine feature-length albums and a long list of soulful duets. His move towards a “louder thing� in 2007 marked a departure from his standing Thursday night dates with New York City’s 55 Bar to play larger stages and bigger amps, but the shift has paid off handsomely for Krantz, his trusted drummer Keith Carlock and the grooving bass lines of Tim Lefebvre. Kuumbwa; $22 adv/$25 door; 7pm. (Janelle Gleason)

THURSDAY | 10/4

CONOR OBERST One of a long line of indie-rockers to be lulled by the siren song of Townes Van Zandt and Gram Parsons, Conor Oberst has been a true

ramblin’ man of late. I can’t imagine what stylistic restrictions he felt like he had to rebel against in Bright Eyes, the project that made him famous. But rebel he has, in a way, getting looser and downright laid-back in projects like the supergroup Monsters of Folk and especially with his own Mystic Valley Band. The guy’s always been a genius songwriter, but his delivery has improved steadily over the years, from unbearable (on that first record, at least) to divisive to‌er, a lot less divisive. Maybe he doesn’t have the kind of voice or style that’s ever going to appeal to everyone, but hey, neither does Neil Young. Don Quixote’s; $35, 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)

SUNDAY | 10/5

TEA LEAF GREEN Tea Leaf Green is a gypsy jam band from San Francisco with outlaw spirits and a thirst for adventure. The five-piece is keen on the playful and unpredictable, utilizing their improvisational skills to craft songs filled with possibility, harmony, charm and romance. Tea Leaf Green’s knack for experimentation places them among

the ranks of contemporaries My Morning Jacket and the Strokes but their refined talent makes it easy for the college friends to uncover their own pop gems. Tonight sees the quintet showcasing Radio Tragedy, their latest effort, written as “something loud, something bright, something to scare your kids goodnight.� Moe’s Alley; $17 adv/$20 door; 9pm.

FRIDAY | 10/5

TIME SPENT DRIVING An indie/emo band from the days when emo was still a fringe style, Time Spent Driving is one of Santa Cruz’s more well-established musical exports. Deeply rooted in punk, the band stretched its musical horizons and started writing layered and textured songs balancing driving, edgy breakdowns and broken-hearted hooks that tiptoe into pop territory. Established in 1999, the band went on hiatus in 2003 and broke up in 2005, but they’ve reformed and are playing a handful of select shows. Featuring both familiar and fresh faces, the band is introducing new material as well as revisiting the old favorites. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm.(Cat Johnson)

FRIDAY | 10/5

THE INCITERS Eleven members strong, The Inciters have a sound as sweet as the northern soul born in the 1960s, long before their time. Over the course of a 16-year run and through a breakup, revival and new members, the sunny tunes have enchanted Santa Cruz locals as the band and its fanbase continue to grow. The Inciters have played their way through Europe surviving from show to show between hostels and remained a staple of their hometown scene by staying true to their roots—and creating music that recalls the soul and sound of simpler times. Don Quixote’s; $8; 8pm. (JG)

SATURDAY | 10/6

ROACH GIGZ Thanks to the support of Lil B and the elusive Andre Nickatina, Roach Gigz has become one of the Bay Area’s hottest up-and-coming MC’s. He’s gotten attention in the Bay’s underground scene, rocking crowds in East Bay and selling

! mixtapes, and caught the attention of the Internet’s hip-hop blog cognoscenti, who thrive on a hyperactive hype cycle that celebrates new kings just to tear them down. Touring in support of his new album, Bugged Out, Roach Gigz is poised to be the new voice of Bay Area rap. As Mistah F.A.B. said, “I’ve seen the hunger in his eyes since day one.� The Catalyst; $19 adv/$24 door; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis & CJ)

Boasting a musical maturity that belies the age of its members, the Head and the Heart burst onto the indie/roots/pop scene in 2009 with a self-released album that quickly became a bestseller in the band’s hometown of Seattle. Scooped up by the record label SubPop, the band was thrown into the national spotlight where it has garnered high praise and prophecies of being the next great American band. Blending tight harmonies, foot-tapping rhythms, catchy hooks and a violin- and harmony-driven sound, the Head and the Heart brings a welcome change to the indie landscape and a nice little nudge to the boundaries of American roots music.

alma mater for his former professor’s retirement party and ultimately falls for a 19-year-old college student. (Opens Fri at the Nick) THE ORANGES (R; 90 min.) After a five-year absence, Nina Ostroff goes home for the holidays and begins an affair with her parents’ neighbor and

best friend (Hugh Laurie). (Opens Fri at the Nick) THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (PG13; 103 min.) I know, I know, it must be a short film. Ha ha. But apparently there are perks to be found in this story of two seniors who take an introverted freshman under their wing. (Opens Fri at Del Mar) PITCH PERFECT (PG13; 112 min.) When college freshman Becca joins her university’s a capella group in this Glee-like musical comedy, she injects some much-needed competitive spirit into the group. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

Specials PULP FICTION (1994) It’s no coincidence that Green Day broke punk rock into the mainstream the same year this film came out. With Pulp Fiction, Tarantino did the same thing for movies, turning indies into mainstream flicks and effectively ending the cult era in which talented upstart filmmakers could go unnoticed (just as Green Day got the hype machine going for every halfway decent pop-punk band.) If you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction in a while, it’s worth another look—it’s better than the inevitable Tarantino backlash (which strongly affected the general view of Jackie Brown) would have you remember. (Plays Fri-Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) TAKEN 2 (PG-13; 91 min.) Boy, if there’s anything more embarrassing than having your friends and family taken once, it’s gotta be having them taken again. This time, Liam Neeson has to find a couple who are taken due to fallout from his last rescue mission. This guy has worse luck than Jack Bauer. (Opens Fri at 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

Reviews ARBITRAGE (R; 108 min.) Richard Gere in the type of stylish, highconcept thriller they don’t make anymore—as in, the kind that makes you think. Gere plays a hedge fund magnate who gets himself in a lot of trouble,

and has to consider what he’s willing to do to get out of it. BACHELORETTE (R; 87 min.) Director-writer Leslye Headland jumps on the Hangover/Bridesmaids bandwagon with a seemingly darker comedy about Kirsten Dunst and some fellow bridemaids (who used to call the bride “pig face�) wreaking havoc. BELOVED (NR; 139 min.) French musical follows the soap-operaish stories of a mother and daughter across half a century, as played by real-life mother and daughter Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni. DREDD 3D (R; 95 min.) Judge Dredd has been around in British comics for 35 years now, and—that awful Sly Stallone movie notwithstanding—the character would seem to be a natural for the big screen, falling in somewhere between Robocop and Dirty Harry. This new take on his story, which once again has him playing cop, judge and jury (and sometimes executioner) in a future dystopia, is getting early positive reviews from fans in the UK, where it’s already been released. END OF WATCH (R; 109 min.) It’s end of watch for those who wondered what writer-director David Ayer has been up to after a rather lengthy break between projects. Having written two of the best bad-cop movies in memory (Training Day and Dark Blue), he’s gone with a couple of likable recruits this time, in the form of Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena (but then, could anyone make Jake Gyllenhaal unlikable?) Thanks to a routine traffic stop, they get on the bad side of some druglords. THE EXPENDABLES 2 (R; 102 min.) Revenge is a dish best served old as aging action stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris (among others) deliver some punches and explosions to honor the memory of a comrade brutally murdered. FINDING NEMO 3-D (G; 100 min.) Will he be easier or harder to find in 3-D? Hopefully not harder, because Albert Brooks’ nerves are shot as it is. HOPE SPRINGS (PG-
