How should Santa Cruz develop downtown around the San Lorenzo River? BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT
I would envision an artisan farmers market plaza with fresh foods and street art, and I think it would help with the really gnarly energy that’s down there. PHOENIX ROSE
SANTA CRUZ | ARTIST/SHOW PROMOTER
More bridges going over the river, more art, connect it to the Tannery Arts Center, and see businesses expand. DAVEY GONZALES

As the river flows, it would be lovely to see the arts flowing down with the river, with song and poetry and music and gondola-like vessels where we can break bread together.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
Researchers in Peru have recently tracked down many previously unknown varieties of wild cacao plants. What that means is that there are exotic kinds of chocolate that you and I have never dreamed of, and they will be commercially available within a few years. As delicious as your Chocolove XOXOX Extra Strong Dark candy bar may taste to you now, you will eventually journey further into a new frontier of ecstatic delectability. I propose that we use this theme as a metaphor for the work you have ahead of you right now. It is time for you to make good things even better—to take fun diversions and transform them into experiences that engender transcendent bliss. Turn “yes” into "YESSSS!!!!"
If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, the bells are about to ring for you. The festive lights will flash. The celebratory anthems will throb. It’s like you’re going to win a fortune on a TV quiz show; like you will get an A+ on your final exam; like you’ll be picked as homecoming king or queen. But it’s possible I’m a bit off in my projections, and your success will be subtler than I anticipate. Maybe, in fact, you are about to accomplish the Healing of the Year, or discover the Secret of the Decade, or enjoy the Most Meaningful Orgasm of the Century.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 At your next meal, imagine that the food you are eating is filled with special nutrients that enhance your courage. During the meal after that, fantasize that you are ingesting ingredients that will boost your perceptiveness. The next time you snack, visualize your food as being infused with elements that will augment the amount of trust you have in yourself. Then you will be ready to carry out your assignment for the coming weeks: Use your imagination to pump up your courage and perceptiveness as you carry out smart adventures that you haven’t trusted yourself enough to try before now.
GEMINI May21–June20 The leaves and berries of the deadly nightshade plant are highly poisonous. If ingested, they cause delirium and death. On the other hand, a drug obtained from the same plant is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. It’s helpful in treating many illnesses, from gastrointestinal and heart problems to Parkinson’s. Is there a metaphorical equivalent in your life, Gemini? An influence that can either be sickening or healing, depending on various factors? I suspect that now is one of those times when you should be very focused on ensuring that the healing effect predominates.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 A New York doctor offers a service he calls Pokertox. Jack Berdy injects Botox into poker players’ faces so as to make their expressions hard to read. With their facial muscles paralyzed, they are in no danger of betraying subtle emotional signals that might help their opponents guess their strategy. I understand there might sometimes be value in adopting a poker face when you are in the midst of trying to win at poker or other games. But for the foreseeable future, Cancerian, I recommend the opposite approach. You’re most likely to be successful if you reveal everything you’re feeling. Let your face and eyes be as eloquent as they can be.

When we are launching any big project, our minds hide from us the full truth about how difficult it will be. If we knew beforehand all of the tests we would eventually face, we might never attempt it. Economist Albert O. Hirschman called this the principle of the “hiding hand.” It frees us to dive innocently into challenging work that will probably take longer than we thought and compel us to access new resources and creativity. To be clear: What’s hidden from us are not only the obstacles but also the unexpected assistance we will get along the way.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 The literal meaning of the Swedish word smultronställe is “wild strawberry patch.” Metaphorically, it refers to a special place that feels like your private sanctuary. It may be hard to find or unappreciated by others, but for you it’s a spot that inspires you to relax deeply. You might have had a life-changing epiphany there. When you’re in this refuge, you have a taste of what it’s like to feel at home in the world. Do you have a smultronställe, Virgo? If not, it’s time to find one. If you already do, spend extra time there in the coming week.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 A teenage Pakistani boy decided he wanted to help his country’s government clean up the local Internet. Ghazi Muhammad Abdullah gathered a list of more than 780,000 porn sites and sent it to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Big job! Hard work! I would love to see you summon similar levels of passion and diligence as you work on behalf of your favorite cause, Scorpio. The coming weeks will be prime time for you to get very excited about the changes you would like to help create in the world.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Working as a journalist for the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, Simon Eroro wanted to interview a group of indigenous rebels in a remote jungle. He decided he was willing to do whatever was necessary to get the big scoop. After making a difficult journey through rough terrain to reach them, he was told he would be given the information that he sought on one condition: that he be circumcised with bamboo sticks as part of a cleansing ritual. Eroro agreed to the procedure, got the story, and ultimately won a prize for his report. I don’t recommend that you go quite that far in pursuit of your current goal, Sagittarius. On the other hand, it might be wise for you to consider making a sacrifice.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Kintsukuroi is a Japanese word that literally means “golden repair.” It refers to the practice of fixing cracked pottery with lacquer that’s blended with actual gold or silver. Metaphorically, it suggests that something may become more beautiful and valuable after being broken. The wounds and the healing of the wounds are integral parts of the story, not shameful distortions to be disguised or hidden. Does any of that resonate with you about your current experience, Capricorn? I’m guessing it does. Let’s call this the kintsukuroi phase of your cycle.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Near the end of his career, the painter Henri Matisse created a paper-cut composition he called Le Bateau, or The Boat. It is an abstract piece that does not depict a literal boat. That’s why the Museum of Modern Art in New York should perhaps be forgiven for mistakenly hanging it upside-down back in 1961, upon first acquiring the piece. Fortunately, after a month and a half, a knowledgeable person noticed, and the position of Le Bateau was corrected. I’m wondering if there’s a comparable phenomenon going on with you right now, Aquarius? Is it possible that a part of your life got inverted or transposed? If so, will you be sharp enough to see the goof and brave enough to fix it? I hope you won’t allow this error to persist.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice,” said British author G. K. Chesterton, “and then going away and doing the exact opposite.” I’m going to endorse that approach for you, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, I don’t think anyone can possibly give you accurate counsel in the coming weeks. Your circumstances are too unique and your dilemmas are too idiosyncratic for even the experts to understand, let alone the people who care for you and think they own a piece of you. I do suspect it might be useful for you to hear what everyone has to say about your situation, though. Seeing their mistaken or uninformed perspectives should help you get clarity about what’s right.

MUSCLE MEMORY Vital Body Therapy’s team of massage therapists. PHOTO: CHRIS SCHMAUCH
Vital Touch
H
ow does a massage therapist survive in a town saturated with massage therapists? It was a question for Kelly Stoll, certified advanced rolfer, and Jennifer Galvin, certified massage therapist. Over the past three years since opening Vital Body Therapy, the two have not only survived, they’ve grown their business to include a total of nine carefully-selected therapists, earning dozens of five-star yelp reviews along the way. For Galvin and Stoll, the answer is simple: do what nobody else is doing. “Our mission is to change the public perception of bodywork from one of
luxury to one of a necessity,” says Stoll. “We really see bodywork as rehabilitative and preventative, and a huge portion of our demographic come for that reason.” Clients come with specific musculoskeletal pains, tension and limited movement caused by scar tissue, and even more severe conditions like plantar fasciitis. While painkillers and surgery are still the most common treatments for severe pain, Stoll and Galvin believe in an alternative route to a pain-free existence. That’s not to say luxurious, stressmelting touch is not part of the
equation, too. The elegant Victorian on Ocean View Avenue feels almost like a high-end doctor’s office, but with the soothing promise of pampered relaxation. The welcoming calm is intentional; stress negatively affects every physiological system in our bodies, including our muscles. “Cortisol, because it prepares your body for fight or flight, increases the tonus, globally, of all your muscles,” says Stoll. “It’s the opposite of being relaxed. So on the relaxation end of bodywork, you’re addressing that sympathetic activation in a person’s nervous system which creates hypertonic
SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | AUGUST 13-19, 2014
Changing the perception of bodywork from one of luxury to one of necessity BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS
muscles.” Translation: “knots” and tightness. Touch is also a way to remap our brains. “We touch something because it helps convince your brain that it’s okay to do something that, for whatever reason, became inhibited,” says Stoll. Like when patients come in with the complaint “I can’t turn my head’, or “I can’t reach my arm above my head.” Lost mobility, if untreated, can mean major problems, often ending in surgery ten or twenty years down the road. The solution? “Okay, we’re going to lengthen these muscles, we’re going to touch your nervous system in a way that gets it to calm down, we’re going to lift this joint in a way that reminds it that it can go this direction, and then give you the experience of the movement and then it’s integrated into your brain’s map,” says Stoll. But it’s more than just the muscles. Understanding the anatomical relationships affecting the pain is crucial to preventative and rehabilitative bodywork, and a key concept that Stoll and Galvin say sets them apart. It means paying close attention to the fascial network, an amazing full-body web of connective tissue made up of collagen and elastin. “A good visual for the fascial network, is that if you sucked all of the contents out of your body, took the skin off, what would be left is this web, and it would be your shape,” says Galvin. “It would give you definition of every organ, every muscle, every bone. It’s like a gossamer web,” adds Stoll. The shape of our “web” largely depends on how we use our bodies every day, how we sit, and how gravity pulls on us—and a kink in one part of the web is going to reverberate throughout the body. “So if someone comes in with carpal tunnel, which shows up as pain or numbness, tingling in the hand, we would address that by freeing up all the pathways of the nerves, from the root of the nerve in the neck through the armpit down the arm,” says Stoll. “Carpal tunnel isn’t an event in your fingertips, it’s a relationship between your whole shoulder, your ribs and your spine. So everyone here would know that you would want to open or create space along that nerve pathway.”

PITCHING IN Volunteers pulled over 900 tires out of a redwood forest near Highway 9.

Volunteer tire removal project gets shut down early by property owner BY ARIC SLEEPER
A
fter hauling hundreds of abandoned tires, one by one, up the steep mountainside along Highway 9 for five grueling days, a volunteer group organized by local photojournalist Alekz Londos had almost finished its self-appointed task. They were removing a mound of old car tires—hundreds of them— that had festered for decades in a ravine informally referred to as “Goodyear Gulch.” “It was hard work, but pretty rewarding at the same time,” says volunteer Tim Archer. “Knowing that we had pulled up close to 1,000 tires and looking down and seeing how few of them were left. You could see the hillside in its natural state.” After the fifth day, the volunteers estimate that about 150 tires
remained in the gully. Since the crew had removed an average of 180 tires per day up to that point, it seemed like the sixth day of the cleanup would be the last. But just before noon on July 31, when GT arrived on the scene, Londos was locked in a serious discussion with the manager of Paradise Park Masonic Club, which is located about two miles from downtown Santa Cruz, along the San Lorenzo River, and hundreds of feet below the tirefilled ravine. The 30 volunteers’ final push was put on hold indefinitely. What Londos and the volunteers had thought was county land appeared to be private property, and Paradise Park Masonic Club, which claims it owns the area, wanted the cleanup stopped. So
much for a happy ending. “Obviously, I was surprised,” says Londos. “Due to all the steps I went through, all the phone calls that I made, all the officials that I spoke with, all the comments I responded to, and all the messages that I got, and not one person ever mentioned Paradise Park having anything to do with this.” Londos first stumbled on the tire heap after a day at the Garden of Eden swimming hole in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. He was taking his time on the bike ride back into Santa Cruz, and stopped where the train tracks cross the highway, a few miles from the city limits. “I was doing some photography along the way, in the middle of the redwood forest, and I stepped over to the edge of a retaining wall >14

The arts aren’t just good for the mind and the soul, says Randy Cohen, vice president of research and policy at Americans for the Arts, an advocacy group based in Washington D.C. They’re also good for local economies in places like Santa Cruz. “When we invest in the arts, we aren’t investing in some frill or some ‘more gruel please’ industry,” Cohen explains. “We’re investing in businesses that support jobs and generate government revenue.” A new study of the county’s arts community reveals that the arts scene brings $38 million in economic activity to Santa Cruz County, and provides 877 fulltime-equivalent jobs. “Arts organizations are good business citizens, so we tried to capture that, because it’s a myth-buster,” Cohen says. The local installment of the Arts and Economic Prosperity IV report, which was funded partly by the city and the county and partly by local arts and cultural organizations, makes a strong pitch for investing in the arts in its opening. “When we support the arts, we not only enhance our quality of life, but we also invest in Santa Cruz County’s economic well-being,” it reads—rhetoric similar to the national version of the same report, and also to other versions of the report for communities around the nation. Advocacy group Americans for the Arts, which drafted the report, has a goal of breaking the stigmas that arts are solely a cultural amenity, by documenting the range of economic activity arts organizations generate, and often argues that “the arts mean business.” Santa Cruz County Arts Council provided half the funding—$16,000—for the study, which Americans for the Arts conducted with help from economists. The city, county and Community Foundation each pitched in $5,000, while the County Visitors Council contributed $1,000. The findings paint an intriguing, if not altogether clear, picture of Santa Cruz’s arts scene, and tracks arts organizations’ role in the Santa Cruz economy with ample data on arts-related economic >16

HAULING OUT A county truck picks up one of the dumpsters Alekz Londos’ team filled to the brim.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE <13 that was 10 feet from the tracks, and I noticed some tires. I took some pictures. I felt that it was a problem. They looked out of place,” says Londos. “That’s when I made calls.” In the days that followed, Londos called everyone he thought may have authority at the site: Caltrans, Waste Management, California Highway Patrol, Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, the Wastewater Treatment Facility, Roaring Camp Railroads, and Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works. He soon found out that Caltrans had jurisdiction over the highway, and Roaring Camp Railroads was responsible for the train tracks and the retaining wall, but not the ravine. “I was trying to narrow down whose property it was. Henry Cowell State Park is further down, Pogonip was across the street, Paradise Park was at the bottom of the hill, and the county was responsible for that area,” says Londos. Once he believed the site was on county property, Londos met with
Tim Goncharoff, a resource planner at the Santa Cruz County Public Works Department. According to Londos, he and Goncharoff, who could not be reached for comment for this story, drove to the unregulated dump site in a county vehicle, and perused the gully. “We walked around. We took pictures. We looked at the area. We documented the location. We looked at the mile markers,” says Londos. “He said that this whole area in here is county property. He gave me permission to move forward with it and hit me with a dumpster.” The county provided him with a 40-cubic-yard dumpster, and waived the tire disposal fees. Londos then began recruiting volunteers through social media; he got so many responses that he had to limit the number of volunteers he could accept for the project. With the county’s blessing and an enthusiastic crew behind him, the cleanup started a few weeks after Londos first chanced upon the site. Archer, who has a foggy memory of the tire pile from his time exploring

the area in the 1980s, saw the volunteers, filthy and grinning, on his drive home from work, and decided to help clear the ancient dump once and for all. “Judging by the looks of some of those tires, I think a lot of that stuff has been down there for a while,” says Archer. “There were truck tires with white walls. When’s the last time you saw truck tires with a white stripe on them? That’s like Nixon administration tires—pre-EPA tires.” The tires, which are sometimes used for erosion control, had been embedded in the gully for so long that roots had grown through the center of some, and the volunteers had to dig out and cut the tires in half before they carried them up the hillside. During the removal, Archer also noticed that many of the tires were filled with water, and could possibly serve as breeding grounds for pests like mosquitoes. “It’s more than just an eyesore,” says Archer. “It’s a public health hazard.”

activity and jobs. Yet despite proudly enlisting the help of economists from Georgia Tech, it contains no information about the cost of arts funding in the county, almost like a catalogue with no prices. Nor does it compare the arts with other industries to provide the necessary context. From a purely economic standpoint, the study fails to provide enough specifics to gauge arts funding’s return on investment. While Arts Council executive director Michelle Williams could not provide concrete numbers, she did give an estimate. “We know the arts nonprofit sector drives $38.4 million. We also know that our program grants about $200,000 a year, and we know that that is a significant part of the seed money that drives that $38.4 million,” says Williams. “I don’t know what the math is on that, but it’s pretty powerful.” Cohen admits that whatever the economic returns, they will never be the
primary reason people appreciate the arts. “The best investment might be waste management or something, you know, but who wants to house everybody’s trash as a way to boost the economy? ‘Now with landfills bigger than ever! Come visit!’” he says, with a laugh. Santa Cruz County was one of 182 communities chosen for the study. The previous study, done in 2005, found that the county’s arts community accounted for $32 million in spending—about the same as the current figures when adjusted for inflation. The positive message of the report was not at all news to county economic development coordinator Barbara Mason, but she finds the data valuable. “We already knew the arts had a significant impact on the economy here, and it’s apparent to anyone who lives here or who has visited here,” Mason says. “But to have it quantified is great.” The researchers used questionnaires from nonprofit arts organizations and surveyed art event audiences to
“The best investment might be waste management or something, you know, but who wants to house everybody’s trash as a way to boost the economy?” — RANDY COHEN establish four categories of the arts’ economic impact: amount of full-time equivalent jobs produced, personal income to residents generated, and both local and state government revenue generated. One interesting tidbit from the report that isn’t further explored is a graph showing how Santa Cruz compares in arts spending to other communities studied. The county is more or less in step with other communities of its size, and possibly a little behind. More interesting still is how arts community members’ incomes compare with those from other
places: Artists from Santa Cruz appear to be in a much lower income bracket, with a median household income of $22,300—about a third of the average for communities of a similar size. That figure is also one-third of the median income in the county, according to 2012 census data. Cohen says further research is needed to critically examine art’s role in the economy. "This kind of research isn’t the end of the conversation, it’s the beginning of the conversation,” he says. “You can sit down and say ‘OK, what are these numbers telling us and what do we still need to know?’”

But a sanctuary for insects and rodents is just one of many environmental and health concerns associated with aging tires. As the synthetic rubber decays, toxic compounds leach into the soil and pollute nearby waterways. And if the tires catch fire, they could burn for weeks and lead to larger wildfires, all the while releasing plumes of chemical-laden smoke into the air. Londos and volunteers like Archer say they’re not looking to go after whomever may be responsible for the mess—they just want to see it cleaned up. But now that they’ve been shut down, it is hard to see when and how the rest of the tires will be removed from the mountainside. Officials from the public works department won’t confirm whose land it is, saying they have no involvement in the cleanup beyond providing the dumpster and waiving the disposal fees. A fellow staffer advised GT that Goncharoff is still on vacation, so he has been unavailable to confirm whether he explicitly told Londos the site was on county land. The pile seems to be in violation of a number of state laws. For example, waste tires are not to be stored on steep grades, or in places that may promote the breeding of pests. Tire piles are to be set away from property lines, clearly marked, and with fire extinguishing equipment on hand. Although the manager of Paradise Park, Terry Douglas, was unavailable to comment, the club’s board members did agree to speak with Londos in mid-September. It is unclear whether they will allow him to continue the cleanup or not. Above all, Londos and his volunteers hope that their efforts will serve as an inspiration for others in the community to take the initiative on issues that are important to them. As for any moralistic end to the story, Archer is still unsure. “The moral ain’t come out yet,” Archer says. “Hopefully it’s a good one and this doesn’t become a cautionary tale.”

Th hough the field is traditionally dom minated by men, uncle du uties can bee conceivably perfo formed by women ... I’ve certainly known a few fe wh who w are more than capable of teacching a child to climb a tree and make m farting noises with their armp mpits. And you know wh what at they say, no obody is 100 percent aunt or uncle; we all live on a continuum. I’ve sometimes become a de factto uncle simply by having friend ds with kids. It has a nice ring to o it. “Take this beer to your Uncle Sven. Sven ” After a wh while I figured out wh haat kids want in an uncle: A cool ad dult. One who w doesn’t carry all thaat authoritative au baggage of
the parent or teacher. An adult ltt who lets you dabble with dang ger, ask inap appropriate questions, qu and participate in a spitting contesst. Somebody dy you trust to let you be a little crazy but not too crazy. And A ideally, an adu dult who knows ho ow to entertain. Kids have allowed d me to extend my career as class clo own far beyond my school years, an nd they’ve tau aught me a lot about ut wha w at works with what kind of child..

It’s embarrassing to have to admit you got your injury from roughhousing with a toddler, so it’s important to know when to distract them with a new activity. My go-to is juggling, a classic uncle skill. The very young ones are simply mesmerized by it, particularly if you’re tossing objects they’re familiar with, like their toys or their dinner. PJ would, at that age where kids can walk but not well, enjoy sticking her hands into the juggling pattern and causing everything to fall. “Do it again!” “Do it again!” They’re cute at this age, but kind of tiresome. Perhaps best to pass them on to an aunt until they grow up some and get more interesting. Gift idea: simple musical instrument like a drum. Sure they’ll play it relentlessly, but it’s not like you live with them.

THE TRICKSTER

Now let me introduce you to “Eddie.” He’s the one you really have to keep your eye on. He and his ilk are especially drawn to games and tricks that border on destructive, deceitful, and irritating. These are naturally occurring traits; the parents’ role is to eradicate them. The uncles teach you how to use them responsibly. As an example, I called Eddie over and said my neck felt stiff. As I rolled my head around, there was a horrible crackling sound. “What the heck?” he thought (50 percent of everything an uncle does should elicit this response). Then I showed him the
secret, because he said if I didn’t he’d never reveal where he hid my car keys. I’d hidden a disposable plastic cup under my arm and squeezed it as I rolled my head. He immediately performed this trick (deceitful) numerous times for everybody he could find (irritating) until the cup was crushed beyond all use (destructive). Such physical gags are musthaves for uncles. No cup? Try the old cracking your nose bit: hold your fingertips against your nose, and wince as you crack it left and right. To do this, position your hands to conceal the fact that you’re really snapping the tip of your thumbnail against your front tooth. Eddie was impressed by juggling, and immediately wanted to try it. I thought he was spectacularly uncoordinated until I realized he had seized upon it as a loophole in the don’t throw things in the house rule. Oops! He hit his sister on the head with an orange! Twice! OK, let’s take it outside. “Geez Eddie, I think I actually hurt myself showing you that neck cracking thing. I’ve got dog jaw.” I opened my mouth and moved my jaw back and forth. “Darn it, dog jaw takes days to heal, too. It stems from tension in the skull, here, feel it, right behind my ear. That’s right, just … RUFF RUFF RHOWRUFF BARK!” Eddie leapt back from my snarling, snapping jaws and immediately ran into the house to try it on his sister. That poor girl; I made a mental note to offer her a few more pony rides. It’s fun to prank kids (aunts may disagree), but it’s even more fun, and more bonding, to prank somebody else as a team. Particularly parents. I once spattered Eddie’s hands with catsup to look like blood and had him seek out his mother. “Uncle Sven won’t get up!” Apparently his performance was excellent; it got me a long lecture about “going too far” and “appropriate activities” and “not encouraging him” and other blah-blah-blah mom stuff.

Eddie likes physical activities, and he insists that we play the hand-slapping game whenever we get together. Also called “red hands,” it’s basically a socially sanctioned way to sublimate his hopefully temporary urge to hit people. If he’s the first slapper, I hold my hands out, palms down. He puts his hands under mine, facing up, and nearly touching. Then he tries to quickly slap the backs of one or both of my hands before I can pull them away. If he misses, it’s my turn to slap. That’s the basics, but the real relationship-building part is the insanely long list of additional rules for play and scoring we’ve developed along the way. The only thing I’ve ever seen to rival it is the corporate tax code. Gift idea: Rubber hand. Good for pranks and reenacting when Luke gets his hand cut off by his father’s light saber.

THE DETECTIVE
Ellie is too civilized for most of the fun I have with Eddie. She’s a reader, a thinker, a puzzle solver and a perfectionist. Her imaginary friends are a teacher and a pony who’s also a patent lawyer. When she was little, I handed her a nickel I’d pulled out of her ear and learned that a serious kid like her isn’t comfortable with mysteries. “Whose nickel was it, will they miss it?” She asked. Yes, such earnestness, per the Uncle Code, must be counteracted
with lots of tickling and teasing. But her natural curiosity must also be nurtured so she can cure cancer later. Now that she knows that magic tricks are just tricks, she loves to try to figure them out. I sometimes have trouble keeping up with requests for new bits, but there are many books out there filled with easy-to-do magic tricks, and YouTube has more than anybody has time to learn. Sometimes I tell her how it’s done, sometimes she has to work it out herself. She knows that when I do the “got your nose” thing it’s really the tip of my thumb I’m showing her, but she has no idea how I drop it audibly into a paper bag. But I’ll tell you: Hold the paper bag between your thumb and middle finger as though you’re about to snap your fingers. Then, as you pretend to throw the nose into the bag with your other hand, go ahead and actually snap your fingers. If you time it right, the bag makes a great sound and shakes a little, as though the nose hit the bottom. Another one she hasn’t worked out is how I can, using my invisible eye laser, cut a banana in half before it’s peeled. The key here is, as always, misdirection. I make a big show of the psychic chopping, placing it on my head, chanting, and tossing it from hand to hand. She assumes that it somehow gets cut while I’m handling it. In reality, it’s a prepared banana and none of the razzle dazzle she sees me do has anything to do with it. Ready? To cut a banana inside the skin, insert a straight pin or paper clip and carefully work it through the banana without poking out the other side. All that’s left is a tiny, nearly invisible hole. When it’s peeled, it’s already cut. Ta da! She’s not comfortable doing her own magic tricks yet, but she loves being my assistant. Her favorite so far, and mine, was our precognition act. Her parents were our first audience. “Chuck, Amanda, you’re not going to believe this, but your

daughter has amazing powers of prediction. We’d like to show you a little demonstration. Cover Ellie’s ears so she can’t hear, and whisper to me a number between one and 10.” Which Chuck did: Five. “Now Chuck, let go of her ears. Ellie, before we came in here you wrote a number down on the inside of your right wrist, right?” “Yes,” Ellie said, and rolled up her sleeve. And there, sure enough, was the number five. “Good job Ellie. Now run along and pack, we’re going to Vegas.” An hour later Chuck confessed he still couldn’t figure out how we did it. But it was just a twist on an old mentalist technique. Ellie had all ten numbers on her somewhere, I just had to remember where they were. The five was on her inside right wrist, so that’s what I had her reveal. Gift idea: Blow-up-the-housegrade science kit.

TYPE #4:
THE SHOWMAN
Carlos is into the simple joys of life. There always seems to be laughter around him. He’s easy going and eager to try new things. He’s the type that loves simple sight gags, like the orange-rind-smile thing. When he was really little he liked watching me do them, and once older he loved doing them himself. He will make an outstanding uncle himself one day. His fave is finger juggling, a fun little optical illusion trick where
you start out holding up both of your index fingers. When ready, you smack both those fingers together and apart again, very quickly. Suddenly one hand has no fingers up and the other has two, like a peace sign. It appears that one of the fingers has moved over to the other hand. Do it again, and both index fingers are up again. Each successive collision of the hands yields another combination of fingers, depending on your level of dexterity. Try it in a mirror for a while until you manage to very quickly change the finger positions at the exact time your hands touch. If he can do it, so can you. For a while he was amazed that if we both concentrated with our hands hovering above the table, we could levitate it. This was a simple matter of my lifting the table with my knees. Sadly, a party pooper sister told him what was happening. Even more sadly, he’s still too small to do it himself. Carlos is the only kid I’ve tried to teach to juggle who actually got the hang of it. Most children, heck, most people, aren’t willing to live with their own failures long enough to learn how, though I maintain almost anybody can do it if they commit to practicing eight times for eight minutes. For the rest of his life, whenever anybody asks how he learned, he’ll say I taught him. Feels good. When I showed him how I can put my thumb through my ear, he worked on it until his ear was bright red, and he may never get it unless his ears get bigger. But here’s how it goes: Put your right thumbnail against the opening of your right ear. Stretch the top of your ear over the thumb, and then the lower lobe over the bottom of your thumb. Hold both in place with your right index finger. You better find a mirror to fine tune this. Once you’ve got it just right, wiggle your thumb a little and try not to faint, it’s pretty freaky looking. Gift idea: Joke and riddle book.

Sometimes you’re outnumbered. If your uncle time is mainly limited to holidays and other family gatherings, it’s likely you’ll be hanging out with more than one kid at a time. They can surely entertain each other, but adult supervision is sometimes called for, and if you’ve got the energy, you can give the parents a break and round up the kids for some games. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Adult Shoe Race, where all kids must put on a pair of their parents’ shoes and run an obstacle course of your own design. It makes for pretty hysterical viewing, particularly if high heels are involved; they may have to rubber band their feet in place. Eddie usually wins this, but he cheats. Hide-and-go-seek and scavenger hunts are always good, as long as it’s not your house. They’ll infiltrate everywhere and you can expect somebody like Ellie to wander out holding something embarrassing and asking what it’s for. It’s an honor to be the first to introduce a child to Thumb Wars. But there’s a lesser-known game that doesn’t get them so hyper that I call Elbow Finish Line. It’s pretty simple. One person is blindfolded and lays his arm out straight on a table with the inside of the elbow facing up. Another person slowly and lightly moves her fingertip up his arm, starting from the wrist. All he has to do is say “stop” when her finger gets to the crease at
At some point, kids become teenagers. Overnight, it seems, all these amazing games and magic tricks are beneath them; the only things they want to see pulled out of a hat are iPhones and concert tickets. It can seem like the uncle era is over for them. But it’s not. Kelly’s parents weren’t the first to tap me for help with hands-on driver training practice. Uncles are ideal driving instructors; it’s a good example of when a teen needs a trusted adult who’s not a parent. Teens and parents are both nervous about the driving thing, and they tend to get on each other’s nerves. I’ve got more patience and hey, it’s dad’s car, not mine. Floor it. On rare occasions, Kelly actually contacts me to have a talk. Sometimes teens want an adult they can talk to who doesn’t carry the parent/child baggage. Kelly confides with me about recent activities and wants straight answers about sex, drugs, and the cruelty of social media. In turn, I try to be a good listener and not call the police or a priest. Soon she’ll be all grown up, and though I hope we’ll maintain some sort of relationship, it won’t be the same. That’s a little sad, but I also know that she shared many of the games and tricks with her friends in school and at camp, and some of those things could still be reverberating through kid culture. I’m sure she’ll turn out to be a great person and an asset to the world, and I feel like I can take a little bit of credit for it. If she’s a bit of a disappointment now and again, well, I didn’t want to say anything at the time, but she was awfully spoiled by those aunts. Q

“We’re really playing <30 around with connecting our art and making it one, that’s the exciting part for us,” explains Moreno. “Instead of giving the audience two different artists, we’re coming together to blend the two.” Moreno has been active in the dance community for years, currently an artist with Wily Minx Burlesque, Flex Dance Company, and Aerial Arts Santa Cruz. Although she comes from an extensive gymnastics background and was active in the dance department at UCSC, she only began aerial training in February; “She’s gotten really good in a very short amount of time, but she’s very modest so I like to speak her up to everyone,” adds a proud Vincenty— met with a small shrug and chuckle. Vincenty had been performing back-up vocals for friends’ bands around Santa Cruz for a while before she went solo with her band Frankie Simone and the High Tide. “My music is definitely more of a sultry blues vibe, but I don’t feel like I’m singing the blues at all,” she says, practically beaming. Their first performance together was at the Catalyst Club in April, where Frankie Simone and the High Tide opened for Sin Sisters Burlesque. From there the couple took the leap of faith to combine acts at the Supperclub in San Francisco. But, as fun as it sounds to travel, sing and do flips over people’s heads, One Sea also has a powerful message to their madness—challenging genderqueer norms to empower their audience. “I think the art that we’re bringing already does that, and the fact that we’re a couple does that,” says Moreno.
“We definitely feel a lot of pride in who we are and aren’t afraid of it, and want other people to see that so that they can be more comfortable with who they are,” adds Vincenty. “Hopefully, we can inspire people.” Clearly, there are others who believe they can, with their Kickstarter campaign surpassing their goal of $4,600 by $1,070, four days before the end of the fundraising deadline. Even with that chunk of change, the Kickstarter funds are only for equipment, gas, and food—not for performance venues. That’s because Che Che La Boom and Frankie Simone, as they’re known by their stage names, didn’t want to tour the traditional way. Starting Aug. 29, they’ll be singing and dancing their way across 12 cities from Huntington Beach all the way up to Vancouver, B.C., through backyards and public spaces. And they’ll be doing it for free. “The point for us isn’t to make money,” says Vincenty, “It’s to have this amazing adventure and collaborate with different artists along the way, to try to find a new way to make art accessible and to experience that together.” While they don’t know exactly what One Sea will be upon their return to Santa Cruz, that’s half the adventure, they say. “We’re excited and inspired and feel like there are no limits,” says Vincenty. “We’re present in this moment and this is all we know right now.” One Sea are back to perform in Santa Cruz Sept. 6.

Stephanie Martin’s intaglio prints are inspired by the botanical and avian worlds BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ich inks heighten the fragile nests, the intricate wings, the ripening fruit. Each color has been applied—painstakingly—by hand, before the elaborate process of wiping, printing, and then pulling through a press. The results are poetic and pleasing. They are the work of Santa Cruz printmaker Stephanie Martin, whose etchings were recently exhibited at Stripe and at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. A master of the aquatint—a
tricky technique for creating areas of uniform velvety tone—Martin is known for her skillful and delicately hand-colored intaglio etchings. Birds are primary subjects, but nature in general grabs her artistic attention, including California poppies, ethereal maidenhair ferns and striped kestrels. For the past 10 years the former grade school teacher and passionate naturalist has created a huge portfolio of etchings, some now housed in the Library of Congress. The Craftsman bungalow she
shares with her husband, master gardener Orin Martin, is a sunny showcase for many of her colorful pieces. “Whenever we go anywhere I try to go to natural history museums and draw from their collections,” she says. “I fill notebooks and notebooks with sketches, and then it’s a winnowing process.” Some of the sketches will become finished drawings, etched onto copper plates, which in turn are inked and pulled through a press to transfer colored lines and shapes into damp paper. “I tried to do native wildflowers,”
she says, pulling out prints of poppies and fairy lanterns, “but they just didn’t have enough volume.” She favors large areas of aquatint. And birds. “I tried to create depth of color with linework—I try to challenge myself—but in the end I came back to aquatint.” A former painter addicted to outdoor settings, Martin always wanted a life involved with teaching, art, and science. “I never considered being an art major,” she confesses. “I thought you had to be so good.” But when her children were in high school she ventured into an art class. Next came an evening intaglio course at Cabrillo College. Then she discovered the resources of the UCSC print studio, where she serves as a print studio monitor. Renowned for her expert hand application of colored inks onto the copper plate, Martin does it the hard way, using only a single plate rather than multiple plates inked in separate colors. “I cut matboard into thick strips and apply small areas of color,” so the inks don’t bleed. She recently discovered using tiny finger-sized pieces of fabric to apply color. “The plate tone is the hardest thing. I want a veil of tone surrounding the entire image,” she demonstrates holding an etching of a pomegranate. “Yellow ink really sticks to the plate,” she says. Open Studios is a big showcase for Martin, who also sells work on Etsy. “People from all over the world have found my work,” she says. “Recently a man who lives in Japan ordered two of my seabird prints. I love that technology connects me with people.” The announcement card for her show of botanical prints—Etchings of Eden—currently at the Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park, shows a wild ginger plant, its blood red flowers and broad, heart-shaped emerald leaves. It is a perfect example of her aquatint expertise, her sensuous application of color, and her obvious love for her wild subjects. “The list of ideas I have is so long,” she complains, with a satisfied smile.

I thought it was very original and interesting at the time. Do you realize your last name has appeared in thousands of crossword puzzles? It’s such a convenient name. You can’t do something really intelligent in a crossword puzzle: “OK well, let’s just do Ono again.” How’s the Plastic Ono Band doing? I like that we brought back the Plastic Ono band. That was Sean [Lennon]’s idea. He said, “Could we bring back the Plastic Ono Band?” I said, “Why do we have to do that?” But then I said, “Oh, well.” I went for it. It’s working very well. Before meeting John, you married twice. Since his passing, have you ever considered remarrying, or at least moving out of the house you shared together? Why? The point is we fell in love, and when you’re in love, you get very romantic about it, and you just want to stay forever together.

Yoko Ono brings John Lennon’s art to Santa Cruz
T
hirty-four years after John Lennon’s death, pieces of his legacy are coming to Santa Cruz. “Come Together,” a show of the singer’s lyrics and art, will be at a currently vacant storefront on Pacific Avenue Friday, Aug. 15 through Sunday, Aug. 17. Donations made at the door and profits from works sold will go directly to Second Harvest Food Bank. Lennon’s work—most of it reproductions of his sketches— will be on display in the form of
lithographs, serigraphs, and copper etchings. Some of the art has been touched with color by Yoko Ono; the 81-year-old artist and activist took a few minutes to talk to GT about her late husband’s art and music.

because he was so wild. The art teacher was saying, “You’re very good in art, so maybe you’ll try art school.” Sure enough, he got into Liverpool arts school, and he was very proud. And after he got into Liverpool arts school, he got interested in rock ’n’ roll. So, he went for rock ’n’ roll, and created a little modest band that conquered the world.

He was an incredibly intelligent man, so of course he wasn’t just respectful of art in general—“So, what’s art anyway?” kind of thing. But when he did it, it was really good. ‘Come Together: The Artwork of John Lennon’ will be at 1346 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 2-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15; 11-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 16; and 11-6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17.

With the situation in Afghanistan and Gaza, what do you think when you see war in the headlines? It’s very sad. It’s ideal that someday—I’m sure it will happen— we’re all going to get together like brothers and sisters and start caring about each other. It’s just terrible, violence and war. We just don’t need it. If we could just make a deal to please each other, it would create a conversation. Also, the thing is every country is getting poorer and poorer.

Beat Happening Third Friday lets kids interact with Watsonville Taiko’s thunderous drumming BY AARON CARNES
C
alifornia’s current drought crisis might seem like unlikely subject matter for the ancient art of Japanese drumming. But Watsonville Taiko artistic director Ikuyo Conant chose Tolstoy’s folktale “The Big Dipper” as a basis for their latest production precisely because the story takes place in a severe drought. With a combination of storytelling, prop-making and getting the children to interact
directly with the performers, she saw it as a good way to entertain while also educating. The production is part of Santa Cruz’s third Friday, and it won’t just be a drum performance (taiko, which literally means “big drum,” is known for its thunderous sound). The group will expand their performance; there will a narrator, and kids will act, make sound effects and participate in every level of the production.
“It’s nothing like anything we’ve ever done before, and it’s wonderful that we’re having this opportunity working with the museum. It’s been interesting,” says community performer Joyce Smith. In the story, a young girl sets out to find water for her mother in the midst of a drought. She takes a wooden dipper with her and lets it collect dew. Instead of drinking it herself, she lets others drink from it first. When she does, it first turns to
silver, then gold, and finally into the constellation in the sky. “The moral is, if you help somebody, something valuable appears,” Conant says. Watsonville Taiko’s adaptation has the same basic story, but is set in California, with our native animals as part of the cast—the very animals that are being affected by the drought. The takeaway is that selfsacrifice is the value we need right now to deal with our own crisis. The group would like kids to really get in and participate. Starting at 4:45 p.m., there will be a workshop where they can make fish, noisemakers, background props, or be cast in the production. At 5:45 p.m., they will do a rehearsal, and at 6:20 p.m., Taiko performs for the public. Participation is open to anyone, including adults, but it’s kids they are gearing the workshops for. “Children like storytelling. Children should be able to be part of the process of learning, and be a part of the community. That’s what I stress. Not just being the audience, but being a part of the process,” Conant says. Even people that just show up at 6:20 p.m. to watch the production will still have an interactive role. “Everybody will be part of it. The audience will be doing the sounds of the wind. The sounds that will represent the drought, they will be drumming, being the coyotes, all these different sounds, using percussion instruments and hand movements. It’s not going to be Taiko up there doing a show, it’s going to be a story that involves the entire community,” says Smith. As for the actual drumming, the most traditional piece will be at the very beginning of the production, before the actual story has begun. “Taiko has a lot of different interpretations. It can be a musical experience, it can be a meditation tool,” Conant says. “Often they use it to gather people. It’s so noisy and loud, so people notice, ‘something is happening, let’s go.’ It’s a tool that brings people together.” Watsonville Taiko will perform at 5.p.m. on Third Friday, Aug.15, at the Museum of Art and History, Santa Cruz. $5. The Taiko performance outside will be free.

BICYCLE COMMUTING WORKSHOP One of the biggest challenges for bicycle commuters and drivers alike is not knowing the laws that affect both. Do you know what hand signals are appropriate to notify drivers of which direction you plan on turning? Do you know where it’s legal to ride on the sidewalk? Or what options you have when riding on busy streets? Educate yourself to avoid any potentially life-threatening situations with People Power of Santa Cruz’s Bicycle Commuting Workshop for cyclists of all levels. The workshop will focus on how to safely share the road, choosing appropriate gears in different terrains, and planning the best routes for you to enjoy your bike commute. Info: 5 – 7 p.m., Aug. 20. Staff of Life, 1266 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 425-0665.

KATHLEEN MURRAY Folk singer Kathleen Murray’s show at Kuumbwa Jazz is going to be huge for a few reasons. First, it will be her last concert before she moves to Seattle in September to continue her studies. Second, it will be a release party for her debut CD, Woodland Voices. And finally, it is a big deal because initially, Voices wasn’t going to be released to the public.
AUGUST 13-19, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
“I mostly just wanted to make something I could show my kids someday,” Murray says. “But it’s a very personal project that I ended up sharing with people.”

A charming coming-of-age folk record, Voices invites listeners into Murray’s journey of self-discovery. The gorgeous folk track “Fallen Branches” uses lyrics like “Questions upon questions upon answers I don’t trust” to demonstrate the period of searching Murray found herself in when writing this record. Similarly, the ambient folk of “Alive” is representative of some of the album’s more spiritual aspects. Throughout the record, Murray is unflinchingly honest with herself and others. “A common thread on the album is this need to be authentic,” Murray says. “So through different stories and perspectives there’s this common theme of this desire to find authenticity in my life.” Being so open and honest with her writing hasn’t always been easy. “It’s been scary, but there’s a lot of beauty in being vulnerable,” Murray says. “That’s what connects people, when they decide to go out on a limb and be honest with each other.” BRIAN PALMER
INFO: 6:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 17. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $10. 427-2227.
THURSDAY 8/14 AMERICANA/ALT-COUNTRY
DAVID LUNING
As crass a production as American Idol is, if you can make it to the Top 100 and have Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban fall over themselves in an effort to see which of them can praise you more effusively, you’re an artist worth looking into. David Luning’s debut album, Just Drop on By, sucks you in with its delightfully genre-blurring sound, mixing everything from rock to alt-country in a heavenly combination that is at once rootsy and electrifying. Filled to overflowing with the sort of razor-sharp insight that is the calling card of a truly great singer-songwriter, Drop—and Luning himself—is worth checking out. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.
HIP-HOP/REGGAE
BANG DATA + ONECHOT As someone almost entirely unfamiliar with Spanish, having taken French through most of high school and college, I wasn’t sure how I was going to connect with Bang Data. Yet, due to their effortless flow between English
and Spanish lyrics, this band can speak to anyone regardless of fluency in either language. Hailing from the Bay Area, lead vocalist MC Deuce Eclipse is recognized for collaborating with the popular Zion I, and Bang Data has recently received wider acknowledgement when their self-titled song “Bang Data” was featured on an episode of the critically acclaimed Breaking Bad. Reggae band Onechot will be opening for Bang Data, providing attendees with Spanish lyrics that reflect a sense of optimism and social consciousness, as well as tight rhythms. SYDNEY MOORHEAD INFO: 9:00 p.m. Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.
FRIDAY 8/15 FOLK
MARTY O’REILLY & THE OLD SOUL ORCHESTRA Drawing inspiration from Delta blues legends Charlie Patton and Blind Willie Johnson, as well as folk stylists John Fahey and Nick Drake, singer-songwriter Marty O’Reilly sits at the intersection where genres fall away and acoustic guitar tradition is distilled down to its essence: someone plucking
out a tune, singing about life as they see it. O’Reilly’s trio, the Old Soul Orchestra, is rounded out by Jeff Kissell on the double bass and Chris Lynch on the fiddle. Also on the bill: The Carolyn Sills Combo, a well-versed, classic country throwback capable of tearing through Western swing, rockabilly, honky tonk and more. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 8:30 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $18/door. 423-1338.
SATURDAY 8/16 FOLK/AMERICANA
LITTLEST BIRDS Boasting a bit of a world’s collide aesthetic, the Littlest Birds is a musical duo built around a cello and a banjo. That’s all. But, who needs anything else when you sound as good as these two do. Comprising Sharon Martinson on clawhammer banjo and David Huebner on cello, the Littlest Birds play folk and Americana songs, but both Martinson and Huebner have backgrounds in classical music which adds a polish and compositional depth to their sound. Hailing from the eastern Sierras, the two are veterans of the road, having played in 34 states and appearing at a growing number of festivals and radio shows. On Satur-

AGAINST ME!
BE OUR GUEST AFROLICIOUS Combining live instrumentation with electronics, Afrolicious has quite a few boasting rights. Vocalist and percussionist Baba Duru was an original member of the groundbreaking jazz fusion group The Headhunters and the band has had songs remixed by Thievery Corporation co-founder Rob Garza, legendary dub producer Scientist, Brazilian producer Trotter, Bay Area sensation J Boogie and more. But the beauty of this San Francisco-based outfit is its highenergy, cultural and musical mash-up, known for sweeping dance floors into a frenzy of groove with rhythmic textures, funky melodies and heartpounding drums. CAT JOHNSON day, they perform at the Abbey. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. The Abbey, 350 Mission St., Santa Cruz. Free. 423-1338.

NEW ORLEANS / JAZZ
BIG CHIEF DONALD HARRISON Dating back over 150 years, Mardi Gras Indians in New Orleans are a vital part of the city’s history and culture. Created as a way to express solidarity with Native Americans, each “tribe” is led by a Big Chief, who serves as both designer and leader of the tribe. The son of a Big Chief, saxophonist Donald Harrison was raised in and around the tradition and has taken up the family
mantle as he leads a musical tribe of his own, Congo Square Nation. But Harrison, who has played with Jack McDuff, Art Blakey and more, adds a twist to the music, incorporating elements of hip-hop, soul, rock and jazz into a style he calls “nouveau swing.” CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $27/door. 427-2227.
TUESDAY 8/19 PUNK/METAL
AGAINST ME! With 2014’s Transgender Dysphoria Blues, Against Me! is proving they can still surprise after more than 15 years as a group. Apart from singer Laura Jane Grace (formerly known as Tom Gabel) coming out as transgender in 2012, the band now features an almost entirely new lineup, and Blues surely has the distinction of being one of the only—if not the only—concept album in the world about a transgender prostitute. Not surprisingly, the album contains a simultaneously fictional and autobiographical aesthetic that is hard not to appreciate, even if punk or metal music aren’t your genres of choice. BP INFO: 8 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $16/adv, $18/door. 423-1338.
INFO: 9 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 21. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-1854. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/ giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 15, to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

Most of the folks that have heard about Oakland rapper Philthy Rich probably read an article online describing one of his many run-ins with the law. The dude has been shot and arrested multiple times. Plus, he’s got serious beef with other rappers. (He’s even written entire diss songs for his rap rivals.) He’s hardcore, no doubt about it, but Philthy’s music is worth checking out for anyone into the whole laid-back weed-soaked West Coast hip-hop sound. His flow is easy and smooth, but expresses some harsh realities in his words—which we know to be true, based off of the several articles online about his arrests. AC
and Sons being Brits that makes their whole spin on working-class southern Americana a tough pill to swallow. Yet somehow, the very notion of Australian bluegrass just makes perfect sense. Mustered Courage, having only been playing a couple of years, have already made ripples in Australia’s country music scene. (Yes apparently there is an Australian country music scene), and are doing their darndest to take their banjo-plucking pop tunes to the rest of the world. They are like a down-under Old Crow Medicine Show, but a little mellower, and with an almost Barbershop Quartet level of vocal harmonies. AC

FILM
IN THE KITCHEN Sparks fly and a cold war is declared between an Indian and French family whose restaurants vie for the same customers in ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’.
Cultures Collide No surprises, but lots to savor in foodie film ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’ BY LISA JENSEN of the south of France where an upstart family-run Indian eatery sets up shop across the street from a venerable French restaurant. And there’s plenty of good-looking food (of course), from haute cuisine to vivid masala-spiced Indian dishes to simple French country cooking, presented with enough relish to make it all go down smoothly. Scripted by Steven Knight from the novel by Richard C. Morais, the film is directed by Lasse Hallstrom (who, by the way, also directed Chocolat, along with a slew of other novel adaptations). The story begins in flashbacks to India, where the large and boisterous Kadam family operated a popular restaurant, and where eldest son, Hassan, grew up cooking at his mother’s side. But a political uprising led to tragedy, and the family is forced to flee to the
west, under the leadership of crusty, proud widower, Papa (Puri). After an unhappy stay in rainy England, the Kadams are driving aimlessly through Europe, looking for a place to put down roots, when their decrepit vehicle breaks down in a charming French village. Its claim to fame is an elegant one-star Michelin restaurant on the main road, presided over by haughty widow, Madame Mallory (Mirren). When Papa discovers a large stone farmhouse for sale, complete with kitchen and dining area, he’s sure he’s found the site for the next Kadam family enterprise, with himself greeting guests, the now-grown Hassan (Manish Dayal) in the kitchen, and the older siblings waiting tables. The only catch? It’s right across the road from Madame Mallory’s place. Papa insists the town is big
THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY *** (out of four) With Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal, and Charlotte Le Bon. Written by Steven Knight. From the novel by Richard C. Morais. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom. A Touchstone release. Rated PG. 122 minutes.
SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | AUGUST 13-19, 2014

f you’ve seen the preview trailer for The Hundred-Foot Journey, you’ve seen the movie. If you’ve seen any foodie film in recent history in which cross-cultural food becomes a metaphor for spicing up life and/or romance—Chef, Chocolat, Babette's Feast, Like Water For Chocolate—you’ve seen this movie. Basically, nothing happens here that’s not telegraphed in the first 15 minutes or so, besides which every major plot twist and punchline has already been revealed in that trailer. And yet, having said all that, The Hundred-Foot Journey has its easygoing charms. Thoroughly engaging performances are provided by a mixed cast of veterans and newcomers, led by the redoubtable Helen Mirren and Indian national treasure Om Puri. The location is irresistible, a sun-drenched corner
enough for both classical French and traditional Indian food, but a cold war quickly escalates between the two establishments. Mme. Mallory complains to the mayor that the music is too loud at the new Maison Mumbai, and the temple facade that the Kadams erect in their courtyard is too gaudy. Both proprietors try to sabotage the other by buying up all the best ingredients at the village market. Meanwhile, Hassan sparks with Mme. Mallory's young sous chef, Marguerite (the lovely and spirited Charlotte Le Bon), who recognizes in him the soul of a fellow food artist. She teaches him the five basic sauces of French cuisine and gives him a pile of cookbooks to study. Once Maison Mumbai establishes itself, both restaurants are attracting customers, and even Mme. Mallory and Papa are grudgingly beginning to warm up to each other (naturellement!), the time is ripe for Hassan to make a move for his own future and offer himself as apprentice to Mme. Mallory. There seems to be a lot more potential drama in this story than ever actually occurs on screen. There’s no particular rift with Papa when Hassan goes over to the “enemy.” A poisonous mushroom is discovered in one kitchen, but it never figures into the plot. And while dreamy-eyed Dayan and frisky Le Bon are quite charming in their romantic scenes together, it’s a bit troubling that her dreams of becoming a chef de cuisine in her own right appear to get short shrift in the feel-good finale. Still, the film is inarguably enjoyable. Poetic references abound on the Romance of Food. (“Food is memory,” is Hassan’s motto. “Life has its own flavor,” his mother tells him.) The food is always tantalizing, and Mirren delivers another indelible performance of steely reserve tempered with wry, selfaware humor. It’s not too filling, so you can eat it up without guilt.

elusive and ineffable meanings of cinema. Discussion begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free. For more information visit groups.google. com/group/LTATM.
NOW PLAYING BOYHOOD Kudos to Richard Linklater for such a refreshingly audacious film. Linklater had the simple, yet brilliant idea to shoot a scripted story over a period of 12 years, allowing his cast—including his child protagonists—to age naturally onscreen. Ellar Coltrane (in the central role) was 7 years old when the film started shooting in 2002, 18 when it wrapped last year, and he’s compulsively watchable throughout. It sounds like a stunt, but watching these characters grow up before our eyes (including adults Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke, both terrific, as the divorced parents), makes for a bold, moving, and utterly mesmerizing moviegoing experience. (R) 166 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen. CHEF Jon Favreau wrote and directed this fun feast for foodies, in which he stars as a top chef who quits his job at an L.A. restaurant over creative differences with the owner (Dustin Hoffman). He goes on the road with a food truck, selling spicy Miami-style sandwiches with his sous-chef buddy (John Leguizamo) and his Internet-savvy 10-year-old son. Sofia Vergara is his sassy ex, and while the plot plays out exactly as you expect, the actors are engaging, the story sizzles with Latin flavor, and the food looks great; trust me, you’ll come out jonesing for a fried Cubano sandwich. (R) 115 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THE FLUFFY MOVIE Comic actor Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias stars in this concert film of his stand-up comedy act on his recent “Unity Through Laughter” tour. Filmed at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. (PG-13) 101 minutes. GET ON UP James Brown blazes to life in this musical biography from Tate Taylor (The Help), mostly thanks to an incendiary performance by Chadwick Boseman. He doesn’t

do his own singing, but Boseman captures the volatility, on and offstage, of the entity we recognize as James Brown; the flamboyance, the fierce ambition, and the uncompromising determination to be treated with respect. (He also dances up a storm!) There’s not much down time in the film’s two hours and eighteen minutes to get a sense of the man behind the persona, but Boseman makes that persona consistently dazzling. (And don’t miss Brandon Smith in two scenes as a fresh, flirty Little Richard.) (PG-13) 138 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.
John Hurt co-star for director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour; X-Men: The Last Stand). (PG-13) 98 minutes.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY In this standalone Marvel Comics adaptation, an American pilot obtains a device coveted by a master villain as the key to universe domination, and assembles an eccentric gang of intergalactic warriors to protect it. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Lee Pace star, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper provide voices for CGI characters, and John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, and Benicio Del Toro pop up in cameos. James Gunn directs. (PG-13) 121 minutes.
LAND HO! A pair of elderly, exbrothers-in-law set off on a road trip across Iceland—from urban Reykjavik to the wilds of the outback—to recapture the spirit of their lost youth, in this English-language comedy from American filmmakers Aaron Katz and Martha Stephens. (R) 95 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK atmosphere after a tasting trip to France, gave the unusual sipping location her blessing. And voila! Now this cozy tasting area surrounded by bins and shelves of liquid temptation is a permanent fixture—open every day from noon to 5 p.m. But enough about the seats, let us now celebrate the beautiful summer menu handiwork of Soif’s official new chef of record Mark Denham, whose culinary pedigree includes Postrio, Manresa and Chez Panisse. Denham is finessing outstanding burrata with purslane and walnuts, and such seasonal sparkle as a recent salad of Little Gem lettuce, punctuated with perfect sugar snap pea pods opened to reveal their cargo of infant peas. The greens were studded with Canary melon and topped with shaved pecorino. A smart orchestration of flavor tones and textures.

H
appy birthday Soif! Can it really be 12 years since Patrice Boyle and her cohorts hatched the plan to open a wine bar in the former Woolworth’s on Walnut Avenue? And would a place named for the barely pronounceable French word for “thirst” really catch on? Is the pope South American? Long months driving through Italy—sipping her way through the odd Verdicchio, Falanghina, and Frappato—are what convinced Boyle, the former Bonny Doon Vineyard general manager, that alternative and unusual wines would be quite at
home in Santa Cruz. In other words, the world of wines outside the boxes marked “Cabernet” and “Chardonnay.” She was right, and the rest is history. Last week marked the official 12 year mark since that thirstquenching opening day, but during the entire month of August those crafty Soifettes are featuring a variety of 2002 vintage wines (do the math) to taste, sip and purchase in the wine shop. Which brings me to yet another only-at-Soif phenomenon: the brand new “wine bar at the wine bar,” just unveiled thanks to wine shop mistress Alyssa Twelker. It’s a
charming idea to please those eager to sip and munch while examining those intricate wine labels. I’d like to take credit for the new très petite seating for tastings and light apps inside the very wine bar itself, having pioneered that particular seating arrangement (it wasn’t exactly kosher at the time) along with my wine buddy W.G. It all started when we tried to meet for a glass of wine and found the establishment suddenly closed for a private party. Being mothers of invention, we simply took our act into the retail section itself. Boyle, re-entering our coastal
WINES OF THE WEEK From the house of Roth comes the new house Sauvignon Blanc 2012 at Gabriella. Everything you want in a brilliant summer wine—light alcohol, long minerals, a touch of lemon, tropical fruit, perhaps some geranium top notes. Terrific with seafood, like the tagliatelle dotted with salmon, summer squash, and spicy Calabria chiles that we inhaled the hour before the Cabrillo Festival opener last week. Delish. Ditto on an appetizer of caponata, creamy rabbit pâté, and a mountain of soft, sweet, roasted garlic served with the never-better house focaccia. Our other top Sauvignon Blanc this week is Patianna's 2011 beauty, found at Shopper’s Corner. Data points: $13.99. 13.8 percent alcohol. Salt, lemon, lychee—a gorgeously balanced blend.

Soif celebrates its birthday with a new twist, Sean Venus releases blue agave spirit, and summer wines BY CHRISTINA WATERS
El Ladrón Blanco, the blue agave spirit from Sean Venus—Santa Cruz’s only distillery, recently opened on the Westside—was just bottled and shipped out at the end of July. Start haunting your favorite liquor shop. And look forward to the first batch of Wayward Whiskey Single Malt (also from Venus Spirits), which has now begun the aging process in new charred American oak barrels. This is news worth toasting.

ooking for a frisky summer wine at a reasonable price? Look no further than Mercy Vineyards’ 2013 Sauvignon Blanc ($20). Richly textured “with an exotic flavor profile,” the wine reveals aromas of honeydew melon and honeysuckle, with anise appearing as a star attraction. Smidgeons of pineapple and honeycomb add a touch of sexiness to this wellbalanced, easy-drinking wine, which pairs well with a variety of cuisine —especially ceviche, calamari and other not-too-heavy foods. Grapes for this dry-ish Sauv are harvested from the “wind battered and rock strewn” Zabala Vineyard in the Arroyo Seco AVA, an ideal place to grow distinct Sauvignon Blanc with its well-placed geographic location and maritime influences. After lunch at Redd in Healdsburg recently, we opened up this wine to enjoy with family in Walnut Creek over a light dinner of cheese, salami, crackers and other munchies—a delicious liquid ending to a beautiful day out, and a mercy-full experience, indeed. Named by a San Jose newspaper as one of the top five “must-see” wine-tasting destinations in the Carmel Valley, you can head to Mercy Vineyards’ tasting room to try their other varietals as well— Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot Noir and Syrah. A flight of seven wines is $10, and includes the glass as a souvenir. Mercy Wine Sales & Tasting Room, 40 W Carmel Valley Road, Suite A, Carmel Valley, 831-659-4321. Mercywines.com.
NAPA VINJUS In True Olive Connection recently, a customer came in looking for VinJus. He had been on a quest for it ever since tasting the young grape “juice” on a salad in Napa. Actually, Food & Vine, the Napa-based creators of Salute Sante grapeseed oil, are now also producing Napa VinJus, a delicious nonalcoholic drink made from a single ingredient: virgin grape juice. Apparently it has taken off like a rocket and can now be found in many restaurants and stores. While it is primarily a beverage, it is sometimes used as a salad dressing. Try True Olive Connection’s oils and vinegars in downtown Santa Cruz—and they plan on carrying VinJus soon. Visit napavinjus.com and Trueoliveconnection.com for more information.
GLASS ON GLASS Annieglass continues with its wine pouring events at their Watsonville showroom, with featured wines from Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.

Kauboi
Japanese-Western theme unites sushi with whiskey and beefgrill BY AARON CARNES
I
n Japan, an izakaya is similar to a pubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a casual drinking and dining place. For some reason, izakayas have only recently become popular in the states. Kauboi, a new restaurant in Aptos, follows in the izakaya tradition by offering several different styles of food: grilled meats, small plates and sushi, plus a wide array of drinks (including Japanese whiskey) and a relaxed atmosphere. In their case itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Japanese-Western theme, which should dazzle plenty of curious patrons. We interviewed owner Michelle King about her establishment.
GT: You have a good whiskey collection. Is that something popular in Japan? Michelle King: Yes, whiskey is very popular in Japan. Suntory, a Japanese brewing and distilling group, has actually been making whiskey since 1923, using the fundamentals of scotch whiskey production. The fact that there are now 10 whisky producing distilleries in Japan demonstrates whiskeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise in popularity.

Yakitori is a particularly popular item. What is it? Yakitori generally translates to â&#x20AC;&#x153;grilled chicken skewersâ&#x20AC;? in Japanese, and we offer beef and veggie skewers
as well (known as kushiyaki). All of our skewered dishes come with our housemade marinadesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;orange or spicy teriyaki. Typically in Japan youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find yakitori being cooked in izakayas, small restaurants or street vendors.
Your kauboi sliders sound delicious. Can you explain to someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never tried kobe beef what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like? This trio of sliders is made with Kobestyle beef which come from Japanese wagyu cattle crossbred with American Black Angus. The flavor of this beef is richer, bolder and melts in your mouth. The patties are set on crispy slider buns and topped with a housemade onion marmalade and our wasabi mayo.
You have several signature rolls, which do you recommend? Hands down, the Ivan The Great roll is my favorite, named after our head sushi chef/fastest man alive. Inside this roll youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find fresh salmon and cucumber, and on top you have tombo (hawaiian albacore), paper-thin slices of fresh lemon and jalapeno, green onion, and dollops of sriracha hot sauce. The combination of the fish with the acidity of the lemon and the kick of the jalapeno makes this one our very best. 8017 Soquel Drive, Aptos. 661-0449
+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES THE MYSTERIES OF NEPTUNE Esoteric Astrology as news for week Aug. 13-19, 2014
It’s our last week of Leo before the sun enters Virgo (next Friday/Saturday). The planets this week make complex patterns and relationships (vibrational cadences and rhythms) with the outer planets, mainly Neptune—the planet that veils, obscures, protects and finally refines us. Neptune offers us entrance into a deeply spiritual sense of comfort and solace. Neptune is the personality ruler of Pisces (saviors of the world) and soul ruler of Cancer (world mother). “The fish goddesses who leapt from earth (Virgo) to water (Pisces) unitedly give birth to the Fish God (Christ, the Soul) who introduces the waters of life (Neptune & Aquarius) into the ocean of substance (matter, mother bringing light to the world. Thus does Neptune work.” (Esoteric Astrology). Thursday Jupiter aligns with Neptune (gifts of healing and compassion, universal and inclusive), a most auspicious energetic
ARIES Mar21–Apr20 In your sense of self as creator do you feel you could do more? Do you need recognition and praise for your accomplishments? Are you feeling overworked, overwrought, in need of rest and relaxation, needing a few playful games and a long vacation that allows you to do nothing? Something seems far away but it’s not. Step into it. Your self is radiant.
TAURUS Apr21–May21 You’re driven to accomplish several large tasks. Your awareness is upon freeing yourself from the past and from all that may hinder you from working for the future of humanity practically building the new culture and civilization. Foundational shifts are occurring. You may want to change residences and names. Be careful of judgments. They hinder you.
GEMINI May 22–June 20 Notice your thoughts shift from personal to cultural, small to large, practical to philosophical. You’re being provided with a vaster perspective than most can imagine. The crisis for you is how to communicate this to others, for many can’t comprehend yet what you already know. Go slow, be patient, and help others see the world through your eyes. Don’t be disappointed.
Is there a crisis (or expansion) in finances, money or resources? A new value system is being created within so that you can more fully be in touch with a level of knowledge you’ve sought for the longest time. Resources are not only money in hand or in the bank. Resources are also your beliefs, possessions, friends and family. Be consciously a benefit to whatever you encounter.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You yourself can be the crisis for others, which brings about a change of interests, environments, a tidying up or a rebuilding. These call forth a new expansive self-identity able to define yourself as an artist. You know you’re a leader. You have power. Approach everyone with kindness, too. Allow your image to be one of glory, love and cooperation. Then Sirius is involved.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Should there be a problem encountered or a situation needing further insight, visualize a light shining upon it and eventually the obstacle becomes the answer. Then proceed forward into the light. Allow yourself to be quiet. This will vivify your courage and self-confidence. Make or hang new curtains, veils that allow the light in yet shields and protects.
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 You become the resource to others and their needs.
This opens your heart to greater sensitivity. Your moods fluctuate, as you move here and there within different social groups. Be aware that you (can) bring kindness and love to everyone, especially with your smile. Tell others you love them. Visualize this, including those you don’t think you love. This will be your Leo crisis.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The planetary energies are influencing two areas of your life—home and work. You’re pulled in two directions: an opposition. Oppositions are good. They point out dualities, which then attempt integration. You’re to bring forth into the world a new level of communication, a depth psychology. It’s hidden, as most things are in your life. Open the curtain … slowly.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Traveling is steadying and comforting for you. The road and distant realities often call. You are thinking a lot, studying your life, plans and goals, hopes and dreams. On the way you encounter a bit of faith you didn’t think you possessed. Something will be left behind (whatever is hindering). Plan carefully. You may encounter several challenges. Let them surprise you. Write home often.
The New
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Funds, finances, money, resources and values, expenses personal and public are on your mind. It would be best to reorganize, conserve, and identify where your currency is spent. Be truthful with everyone when discussing money. You’ll be of two minds, considering both present and future. Save 10 percent of your money for later important needs. Do this quietly and firmly. Now. Know you are valuable first.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Hidden power issues may arise that could lead to wounding or healing, of you, another and/or a situation. Be aware that you and everyone else are sensitive at this time. Sensitivity has many faces, creating many outcomes. You could be irritated, impatient or frustrated. Notice feelings arise then dissipate. Face the sun’s light for healing. Be grateful every moment. Ask for what you need.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Use your focused will to be wherever you are with total and complete presence of gratitude. The book Be Here Now was written so long ago (1971) that it seems ancient. However, that message is prescient for our present times. Each moment, simply observe what’s occurring. This creates. You live always in a state of surprise. Being here (wherever you are) now is the discipline of the aspirant, disciple and Initiate. Choose one.

combination. False idols and glamours (confusion, unreality) are torn away. Friday, Mercury enters Virgo. We are either critical and judgmental or silent, allowing a new spiritual awareness to gestate. Sunday night into Monday, Venus aspects both Neptune and Jupiter. Spirituality and the path of discipleship (path of return) become a science. Or our relationships suddenly become confusing and conflictual. Late Monday night, Mercury aspects Neptune. The sons (suns) of mind (humanity) join with the son of God (the soul, joining the personality in Leo). Mystical insights flourish. We realize intuitively that “love underlies all ideas and events, all people and relationships.” Mercury, the messenger, seeks to communicate the presence of the Soul into the minds of men (Sanskrit for “the thinkers”). Soul direction is the “hope and destiny of all nations.”

AMORY LANGMO, 5-Year Customer, Aptos
Occupation: Fireman, City of Berkeley Hobbies: Cooking, the beach, working out at Santa Cruz Strength, travel Astrological Sign: Virgo You live in Aptos but shop at Shopper’s? AMORY: “It’s our main store. We really don’t shop anywhere else.” HANNAH: “I like how the store is laid out plus it’s family-friendly: you see lots of families here, like a friend of ours who also has a baby. I get all the ingredients for Cash’s food here and make it at home. Shopper’s is one-stop shopping, from brand names to natural products. Quality and pricing is important to us, and you definitely see a price difference when comparing Shopper’s to the chains.” AMORY: “Shopper’s carries a lot of fresh products, grown nearby which attracts the locals such as us.”
Is ‘fresh’ and ‘local’ important to you? AMORY: “We prefer supporting local businesses, and we follow a Paleo diet — lots of fresh meats, veggies, fruits, and nuts. Here, when you’re buying chicken — all the meats — it’s always fresh, never prepackaged. We especially like Shopper’s produce — the local organic sometimes costs less than non-organic.” HANNA: “I like that the butcher department is clean and well organized, and the butchers know Cash by name. I tend to make salads and sides while Amory enjoys barbecuing. He’s in charge of the meat and loves meat loaf. A lot!”
Anything else? HANNA: “Our diet is simple: burgers, pulled pork, fish tacos, and recently roast lamb which was good.” AMORY: “We like Shopper’s goat cheeses and grass-fed Kerrygold butter, rich in omega 3 fats.” HANNAH: “Also ice cream and dark chocolates — we definitely have a sweet tooth!” AMORY: “What’s nice is you shop here for awhile and you develop a rapport with the butchers and checkers.” HANNA: “You cannot get that kind of friendly service at other stores. My mom was visiting from Oregon. I took her here, and she spent 15 minutes checking the wines. She loved this place.”
