ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 3 ARIES Mar21–Apr19
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I'm going to suggest that you monitor the number six. My hypothesis is that six has been trying to grab your attention, perhaps even in askew or inconvenient ways. Its purpose? To nudge you to tune in to beneficial influences that you have been ignoring. I furthermore suspect that six is angling to show you clues about what is both the cause of your unscratchable itch and the cure for that itch. So lighten up and have fun with this absurd mystery, Aries. Without taking it too seriously, allow six to be your weird little teacher. Let it prick your intuition with quirky notions and outlandish speculations. If nothing comes of it, there will be no harm done. If it leads you to helpful discoveries, hallelujah.
When my daughter Zoe was seven years old, she took horseback riding lessons with a group of other young aspirants. On the third lesson, their instructor assigned them the task of carrying an egg in a spoon that they clasped in their mouths as they sat facing backward on a trotting horse. That seemingly improbable task reminds me of what you're working on right now, Libra. Your balancing act isn't quite as demanding, but it is testing you in ways you're not accustomed to. My prognosis: You will master what's required of you faster than the kids at Zoe's horse camp. Every one of them broke at least eight eggs before succeeding. I suspect that three or four attempts will be enough for you.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 In English, the rare word "trouvaille" means a lucky find or an unexpected windfall. In French, "trouvaille" can refer to the same thing and even more: something interesting or exceptional that is discovered fortuitously; a fun or enlightening blessing that's generated through the efforts of a vigorous imagination. Of course I can't guarantee that you will experience a trouvaille or two (or even three) in the coming days, Taurus. But the conditions are as ripe as they can be for such a possibility.
GEMINI May21–June20 The Dutch word “epibreren” means that even though you are goofing off, you are trying to create the impression that you are hard at work. I wouldn't be totally opposed to you indulging in some major “epibreren” in the coming days. More importantly, the cosmos won't exact any karmic repercussions for it. I suspect, in fact, that the cosmos is secretly conspiring for you to enjoy more slack and spaciousness that usual. You're overdue to recharge your spiritual and emotional batteries, and that will require extra repose and quietude. If you have to engage in a bit of masquerade to get the ease you need, so be it.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 When James Franco began to learn his craft as an actor, he was young and poor. A gig at McDonald's paid for his acting lessons and allowed him to earn a living. He also used his time on the job as an opportunity to build his skills as a performer. While serving customers burgers and fries, he practiced speaking to them in a variety of different accents. Now would be an excellent time for you to adopt a similar strategy, Cancerian. Even if you are not doing what you love to do full-time, you can and should take stronger measures to prepare yourself for that day when you will be doing more of what you love to do.

Here are a few of the major companies that got their starts in home garages: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mattel, Amazon, and Disney. Even if you're not in full support of their business practices, you've got to admit that their humble origins didn't limit their ability to become rich and powerful. As I meditate on the long-term astrological omens, I surmise you are now in a position to launch a project that could follow a similar arc. It would be more modest, of course. I don't foresee you ultimately becoming an international corporation worth billions of dollars. But the success would be bigger than I think you can imagine.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 "I have a hypothesis that everyone is born with the same amount of luck," says cartoonist Scott Adams. "But luck doesn't appear to be spread evenly across a person's life. Some people use up all of their luck early in life. Others start out in bad circumstances and finish strong." How would you assess your own distribution of luck, Virgo? According to my projections, you are in a phase when luck is flowing stronger and deeper than usual. And I bet it will intensify in the coming weeks. I suggest you use it wisely—which is to say, with flair and aplomb and generosity.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until 1725. Under his rule, his nation became a major empire. He also led a cultural revolution that brought modern European-style ideas and influences to Russia. But for our purposes right now, I want to call attention to one of his other accomplishments: The All-Joking, All-Drunken Council of Fools and Jesters. It was a club he organized with his allies to ensure there would always be an abundance of parties for him to enjoy. I don't think you need alcohol as an essential part of your own efforts to sustain maximum revelry in the coming weeks, Scorpio. But I do suggest you convene a similar brain trust.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In Roald Dahl's kids' story “James and the Giant Peach,” 501 seagulls are needed to carry the giant peach from a spot near the Azores all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. But physics students at the U.K.'s University of Leicester have determined that such a modest contingent wouldn't be nearly enough to achieve a successful airlift. By their calculations, there'd have to be a minimum of 2,425,907 seagulls involved. I urge you to consider the possibility that you, too, will require more power than you have estimated to accomplish your own magic feat. Certainly not almost 5,000 times more, as in the case of the seagulls. Fifteen percent more should be enough. (P.S. I'm almost positive you can rustle up that extra 15 percent.)
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 So far, 53 toys have been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. They include crayons, the jump rope, Mr. Potato Head, the yo-yo, the rubber duckie, and dominoes. My favorite inductee—and the toy that is most symbolically useful to you right now—is the plain old cardboard box. Of all the world's playthings, it is perhaps the one that requires and activates the most imagination. It can become a fort, a spaceship, a washing machine, a cave, a submarine, and many other exotic things. I think you need to be around influences akin to the cardboard box because they are likely to unleash your dormant creativity.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I'm not opposed to you fighting a good fight. It's quite possible you would become smarter and stronger by wrangling with a worthy adversary or struggling against a bad influence. The passion you summon to outwit an obstacle could bestow blessings not only on you but on other people, as well. But here's a big caveat: I hope you will not get embroiled in a showdown with an imaginary foe. I pray that you will refrain from a futile combat with a slippery delusion. Choose your battles carefully, Aquarius.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 During the next six weeks, I suggest you regard symbiosis as one of your key themes. Be alert for ways you can cultivate more interesting and intense forms of intimacy. Magnetize yourself to the joys of teamwork and collaboration. Which of your skills and talents are most useful to other people? Which are most likely to inspire your allies to offer you their best skills and talents? I suggest you highlight everything about yourself that is most likely to win you love, appreciation, and help.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: LOUD AND CLEAR $354,574—the price of incompetence. That's a ridiculous amount of money to spend on PR, because many of the city employees are doing such a poor job. Not all, but many. If you are to single out any class, it is the management that is responsible. Kind of goes with the territory, doesn't it? Or are they only responsible when good things happen? Hiring
people to try to confuse the public as to what's really going on is typical of a dysfunctional organization and symptomatic of bad management. There's no solution in sight, the game is rigged to allow incompetence and dishonesty. California needs to reform the public servant system and the teacher system, but they never will. Incompetent managers hiring incompetent personnel is the biggest drain on the system. — JACK MATKIN

Are illegal creek and river diversions drying up the county’s North Coast waterways? BY ARIC SLEEPER
E
ven after retiring more than 30 years ago, former Santa Cruz Public Works director Bill Fieberling cannot get the city’s well-being off his mind. His primary concern these days is water, and more specifically, the way some property owners are diverting the precious resource from the county’s North Coast creeks and streams. “Water is in very short supply in the state, and certainly around here with our water rationing,” says Fieberling. “So, I’ve been checking Laguna Creek in the lower area down by Highway 1 all summer, and there’s practically no flow in it. I’d say it’s less than a half of a cubic foot per second.” Fieberling’s investigation went
farther than the mouth of Laguna Creek. A few weeks ago, the retired public works director hiked up the creek in order to trace the source of the impeded flow. “I got a case of poison oak while I was looking,” says the 89-year-old Fieberling. Fieberling isn’t the only one paying attention. The Santa Cruz Water Department has tipped off the state’s Water Board, National Marine Fishery Service, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife about various questionable water diversions on Majors, Liddell and Newell Creeks, and tributaries of Bean Creek in the past, and most recently informed the agencies about the diversion on Laguna Creek. The primary concerns of activists and water officials are the endangered coho salmon and
steelhead trout that require running water to spawn. “If these streams are going dry, or the amount of water is significantly less, ultimately we’ll have fewer adults returning to the streams, and that’s when populations become weak and more vulnerable to other impacts,” says Jonathan Ambrose, biologist at the National Marine Fishery Service. “It’s really important for folks to understand that if the stream goes dry for even a little while, that can have impacts long into the future.” That’s why the biggest diverter of streams and creeks in the county— the Santa Cruz Water Department— does not divert water from places like Laguna Creek during the summer months. This keeps the city >12

As opposition from local activists remains strong, city officials are moving forward with plans to install Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) for the Santa Cruz Police Department. These controversial surveillance cameras, which supporters hope will help solve crimes, photograph all license plates as cars drive past. They record time, date and GPS location, often with a second camera that photographs the entire car. GT has learned, through public records obtained from SCPD, that local police are making preliminary decisions about ALPR, including camera placement, types of cameras, and data storage. It’s the data storage that gets to the heart of many activists’ concerns. SCPD plans to keep the data in San Francisco’s Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC), a fusion center with the Department of Homeland Security. Fusion centers were created as anti-terrorism tools in the aftermath of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and they share information with other agencies. But using fusion intelligence centers are exactly what local leaders at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) want the city to avoid. Santa Cruz’s ACLU came out this summer in opposition against any plans to use ALPRs—especially if the data is stored at a fusion intelligence center— and clarified their position in a recent opinion editorial for the Santa Cruz Sentinel. The Santa Cruz ACLU first learned that police were planning on storing ALPR data at the NCRIC when members met with the SCPD last June. That was a disappointment to those in the meeting, says ACLU board member Mike Rotkin. “Despite being impressed that the Santa Cruz police did take [the ACLU’s] concerns seriously, they explained that they couldn’t control the data, which was our major concern in the first >14

in compliance with state and federal environmental standards, which are in place to allow the endangered fish species to breed and grow. It’s a big part of why city water customers have to conserve during most summers. But as long as people are diverting already low streams anyway, it’s hard for fish lives to get any easier. Ambrose says that the streams are lower because of the recent drought, but the extremely low or nonexistent flows are mostly attributed to the large number of diverters in the county. “I don’t think there is a lot of question about that,” says Ambrose. “I work on streams all over the place and the reason that they’re going dry, or going dry sooner, is due to this competition for water.” It’s not certain what people are doing with the water, but two marijuana growers who were arrested in July had been diverting water from San Vicente Creek.

SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
In the distant past, when county residents were diverting waterways in unreasonable ways, the water department resorted to a more hands-on approach toward handling rule-breakers. “If you go back into the history of the city’s water development, this has been going on ever since the

The city staff actually went out and destroyed that new dam. That was how things were done 100 years ago. Nowadays it’s a different story, and we tend to settle things civilly.” In 2014, the policing of illegal water diversions is conducted by the State’s Water Board and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and it’s largely complaintdriven, Berry says. “It’s very loosely regulated,” says Berry. “Frankly, until someone like the city starts making noise about the issue, it doesn’t really get investigated. In the case where someone is drying up a stream, it’s fairly obvious that there’s an impact and that will draw the attention of regulators.”
The punishments for unreported water diversions can range anywhere from criminal penalties to monetary fines of $1,000, with an additional $500 for each day of use 30 days after notification. Berry says that agencies will often work with property owners to dispel issues of water diversion without any rash punishment, but if the property owner disputes the issue, the litigation process can go on for a long time. “The state water board has only a limited number of staff that deal with these enforcement issues, so sometimes these complaints can go on for years and years,” says Ambrose. State water officials could not be reached for comment.

County fourth district supervisor Greg Caput and candidate Terry Medina, former Watsonville police chief, are squaring off for a run-off election come November. But one challenger who lost the race could still come back fast and furious this fall. That challenger is Watsonville Chevrolet,
who launched a “Vote for Watsonville Chevrolet” advertising campaign last spring before the June election. Voters all over the South County want to know: is Watsonville Chevrolet running for supervisor? “We might. It wasn’t officially running for the office,” says Watsonville Chevrolet’s Melvin Cooper of their campaign—just in case you thought this was
some kind of Transformerstype scenario where vehicles were actually running for public office. “It was just trying to break in for the community with some humor.” Cooper says he got good feedback last time around on their creative campaign, which dotted signs in all the same spots Caput and Medina had put up their signs, and they’ll take it all
into account this time around. “My only concern is I don’t want to make it unfair on other businesses if they try to compete with us and then all the businesses are doing the same thing,” he says. True enough. But our biggest concern is the high cost of making the supervisor chambers ADA-accessible for Chevy Silverados. JACOB PIERCE

place,” says Rotkin, a former Santa Cruz mayor. “The data could go out to a much wider world and be used for all kinds of inappropriate purposes.” A 2007 report titled “What’s Wrong With Fusion Centers” says fusion centers were “originally created to improve the sharing of anti-terrorism intelligence among different states.” But it added, “The scope of their mission has quickly expanded—with the support and encouragement of the federal government—to cover ‘all crimes and all hazards.’” Councilmember Micah Posner says he hears the ACLU’s concerns about the data fusion center and wants to take them into account. “If the ACLU thinks we shouldn’t buy the readers, I take that really seriously,” Posner says. Posner says once the police finish their research and develop protocols for ALPRs, the city manager’s office will
forward them to the council, who can share them with the public. “If there’s still a desire not to buy the readers, or a lot of dissent about the plan from the public or ACLU, then I’ll put it on the agenda for a full discussion,” Posner says. According to city spokesperson Keith Sterling, though, another public meeting doesn’t necessarily need to happen, because a hearing has already been held. Sterling, who works for the city manager’s office, says the September 2013 meeting where the council approved funding was an opportunity for community discussion. But at that meeting an item had been put into the consent agenda and unclearly titled “traffic monitoring equipment.” The only person who spoke against the topic was longtime activist Robert Norse, who hadn’t been aware of the item until that day.
One other person, Kern Akold, spoke in favor. “It’s too bad. It’s kind of spying. But we have way too much happening that’s bad,” Akold told the council. “We’ve got to do something about it.” Mike Rotkin says a robust community discussion has yet to happen on the topic. That September meeting, he says, “probably met the legal requirement for a public hearing, but it was probably way less than most people concerned about this issue would think is even vaguely reasonable.” It was almost one year ago that council unanimously agreed at that meeting to have the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) use a $37,000 U.S. Justice Department grant to buy ALPRs. According to an email sent to deputy chief Steve Clark, and obtained by GT, officers are looking at possible locations near the Boardwalk, and officers told the ACLU that Ocean Street and Broadway
Avenue would be another possible location. There would likely be at least one device on a police car as well. Clark did not respond to requests for an interview or answer emailed questions about the new cameras. California Highway Patrol is also looking into using ALPR technology in the Santa Cruz area, according to the CHP communications director. The Santa Cruz ACLU organized a public forum on ALPRs and wider surveillance issues in February that was attended by at least 50 people, but some civil rights advocates say trying to convene a robust public hearing about new police surveillance tools after police seek funds and make plans is too little, too late. “These issues shouldn’t be hashed out on the day of approval. There should be a public debate before funding is sought,” says Nicole Ozer, policy director of technology and civil liberties for the Northern California ACLU. “What we’re seeing in Santa Cruz is happening in a lot of communities around the country where there’s a lot of federal funding being made available for surveillance technology.” Because the money is coming from the federal government it sometimes circumvents the normal debate and oversight that might occur in a budget process,” she adds. Ozer compared the lack of public input about ALPRs in Santa Cruz to the recent acquisition of a drone by San Jose Police. “In San Jose community members should’ve learned about the drone before funding was sought and not nine months after the police had purchased a drone,” she says. “That’s an interesting area for Santa Cruz to look at. Today it’s ALPRs, and tomorrow it could be something else.” Rotkin says there’s still time to stop the cameras, adding that it would require a significant organizing effort to do so. Ozer is optimistic about possible future discussions and points to community pressure that recently stopped the building of a Domain Awareness Center, a city wide surveillance center once planned for Oakland, and expansion of police surveillance cameras in San Francisco. San Francisco’s program was put on hold after a study by UC Berkeley proved in 2008 that previously installed cameras were unsuccessful at preventing crime.

the proper permits and reaching compliance is a complicated step-bystep process. Because of the cumbersome procedure, it is apparent why some may choose to divert water in the county without reporting use, but when an illegal diversion occurs, the fish and other wildlife that need the flowing water to survive are the most affected. “Fish need water. It’s very simple,” says Ambrose. “We look at a stream like Soquel Creek, and if one is to look at the hydrograph or the gauge on that stream, it’s going dry in portions of the year, and if a stream goes dry for one minute, we have dead fish.” Ambrose says that the recent drought is partially to blame for the drying waterways, but the extremely low or nonexistent flows are also attributed to the large number of small diverters in the county. “I don’t think there is a lot of question about that,” says Ambrose. “I work on streams all over the place and the reason that they’re going dry, or going dry sooner, is due to this competition for water.” Fieberling and the city have taken notice of the lack of water running in Laguna Creek and others, and Ambrose says that there are indeed many waterways in the county that are seeing low flows this summer. “Laguna Creek is a problem, as well as some of the upper tributaries to the San Lorenzo,” Ambrose says. “One of the examples is Bean Creek in the Scotts Valley area. We’re seeing Bean Creek starting to go dry. Soquel is also one that’s a major issue, and we’ve been getting reports at tributaries such as King’s Creek and Bear Creek. I haven’t seen them personally, but we’ve been getting reports that the lows there are very, very low.” With the future generations of endangered species at stake, it would seem that all diverters would be more willing to comply with state laws and report water diversions, but Ambrose feels that many in the county are simply unaware of their impact. “I think a lot of people just don’t know,” says Ambrose. “That’s not their fault, but I think if we can start increasing awareness, that will go a long way.”

she is the reason you can recite the words to Bunny Cakes in your sleep. After writing and illustrating more than 130 books, winning numerous awards, and inventing iconic characters like Max and Ruby, Yoko and McDuff, she hasn’t lost an ounce of her passion for childhood literacy. “The book itself is the golden ring,” she says. “This is how we really learn, by reading.” As for writing, she doesn’t compromise. “Children learn up; they don’t want to be spoken down to. If you’re reading Treasure Island to a room full of older children, believe that the 3-year-old in the room is listening too.” Jennifer Holm is next, for her new novel, The Fourteenth Goldfish, on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 3:30 p.m. Best known for the Babymouse series she created with her brother, Matt, when she couldn’t find graphic novels or comics that told stories from a young girl’s point of view, she continues to challenge our notions of typical girlhood through Ellie, who is drawn into the world of science as she tries to work out why her grandfather Melvin seems to be residing in the body of a 13-yearold boy. Hilarity ensues, of course, but Holm also explores the ethics of scientific discovery, as well as the joy of new beginnings, and the nature of the cycle of life. When Gene Luen Yang, appearing on Monday, Sept. 29 at 6:30 p.m. for his graphic novel, The Shadow Hero, decided to revive the story of a masked crusader from the 1940s named The Green Turtle, he felt the weight of doing justice to the first Asian-American superhero. The short-lived original comic revealed no origin story, but he was intrigued by the opportunity to create one that reflected the depth of the immigrant experience. “Every superhero has a super hero identity and a civilian identity, and a lot of their lives are
about code switching from one mode of expectations to another. I really think that mirrors something in the immigrant kid’s life.” Indeed, that kid unmasked turns out to be Hank Chu, the American-born, teenage son of Chinese immigrants, living in a fictional Chinatown during the 1930s, but once he dons the green cape, evildoers beware. Yang also wrote the award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese, and Boxers & Saints, but he’s best known for his popular comic adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Finally, who is Pseudonymous Bosch? He’ll be in town on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 6:30 p.m. From what we can tell, he’s the bestselling author of the Secret series, a lover of dark chocolate and stinky cheese, and a very bad magician. He says that his new series, Bad Magic, is his way of getting to be, by proxy, the magician he was never able to be, but his book tells a different story. Clay hates magic, and yet, when he finds himself transported to a camp for troubled kids on a volcanic island, magic may be his only way out. Will Pseudonymous Bosch ever tell us his real name? Possibly. Will he keep writing great books for middleschool readers? Absolutely. “At that age you’re still open to having your notions of the world and universe turned upside down, and to see the magical possibilities.” Well put, but readers coming to the event remain curious. Will there be magic? Should they bring chocolate? Would that be cheesy? It remains a mystery. A run of interesting events for October promises Young Adult sensations Paolo Bacigalupi and A.S. King, plus Ursula Vernon and John Flanagan. It makes for an inspiring season, so don’t forget to stop by Bookshop Santa Cruz and say hello to your favorite storyteller. All the kids are doing it.

FOREVER YOUNG Santa Cruz poet Gary Young at his home in the redwoods.

The wisdom of poet, artist and printer Gary Young is in high demand BY CHRISTINA WATERS
I
‘
f you’re not risking your life,” Gary Young says without irony, “then do something else. Poetry is a long distance race, and I’ve managed it by sheer perseverance.” Young—Santa Cruz poet laureate, master of the prose poem, tireless UCSC teacher of poetry and book arts, director of UCSC’s Cowell Press, and literary mentor to countless high school teens—has built and rebuilt his cozy house in the redwoods more than twice (storms, falling trees,
earthquakes, etc.). He has been honored by the Poetry Society of America, and won grants from both the National Education Association and the National Endowment for the Humanities. His friends know him to be gracious and generous. A man who escaped early death. A nonirritating sage, a caring father. Young is selecting typeface for a book he’s designing as I perch in his memorabilia-lined study. The book has been commissioned by some other poet. “It’ll be printed in
Italy,” he says with noticeable relish. What Young makes are books— choice, beautiful, and handmade books. Collecting his own poems, or those of another—along with small, abstract woodcut images he creates—he sets the type and prints the books on handmade paper. Young’s workload continues all summer. “Two books for my own press that have to be done,” he says, twirling around from his large-screen iMac. “There are translations from the Japanese to
finish up.” Young looks serene, but he’s a machine (that’s a poem). UCSC lit classes, Cowell Press book arts, Kirby prep school. “My first week of summer vacation I helped a student print her wedding invitations.” He writes poems longhand in little tan Moleskine notebooks. He pulls out a drawer filled with them. “That’s the way I’ve been doing it for 40 years.” The words go into the computer. “I print them out and then edit.” He edits ruthlessly, with red pen. Or blue if he’s using his >40

Bembo and Bodoni fonts. Poets can be quite OCD, as it turns out. How does he know when the poem is finished? “I always know when it’s done,” he smiles politely, as if I have asked a stupid question. “At a book sale at the Santa Ana library he bought “a copy of The Jade Mountain and a book of English poetry.” That long-ago purchase set a tone for his life’s work. “I wanted to be a Chinese poet,” he chuckles. “In 1990 I won a big prize and started making a name for myself. I got an NEA grant.” His book No Other Life was released. “But I’m not the schmoozing type. I’ve always been distrustful of ambition. I was always oriented toward the work, not toward being famous. I’m never smarter than when I’m writing a poem. The poem is smart.” There was a ten-year lapse until his next book of poems, during which time he concentrated on printing. “I became known as a printer-bookartist,” he notes. “I just don’t fall neatly into a single camp.” Four presses sit downstairs in his printing studio. He brings out work for me to admire. Broadsides, handmade books, colored woodcuts printed on paper so thick you could spread butter and jam on it and call it toast. His Greenhouse Review Press has published dozens of broadsides over the years, illuminated with Young’s expressive woodcuts and typography. These days he teaches small groups of lucky and grateful students. Intermediate and advanced poetry, plus senior projects. And classes in book arts, “plus a lot (his eyes roll heavenward) of independent studies.” Shaping his own programs for the past ten years at UCSC has allowed him to continue his own artistic quest while putting two sons through private schools. “I serve at the discretion of the Provost,” he reminds me, but he hopes to continue with the
Cowell Press for a few more years. When Young was 28 years old, he was given two months to live. Melanoma. Many surgeries. “Even so,” he grins, “I always assumed that I was going to live.” He did, and he moved from Southern California to Bonny Doon, where he’s lived ever since. It has helped him deal with an arduous schedule and economic uncertainty. “I live out in the woods,” he explains. “And I get up every morning and feed my fish.” Young has built three stone-ringed koi ponds near his house. “We move too fast. I can’t do this forever.” A few months ago Oregon State University had a colloquium on Young’s work. “I did a reading, a press demonstration and a workshop on printing broadsides.” He is energized by work. In 2011, Young was invited to Japan to translate poems by Zen master Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi. “He was Steve Jobs’ guru, a founder at Zen Center and Tassajara—a really brilliant guy. So I went to Tokyo, and then into the mountains, sitting zazen at 4 a.m. We talked, we went to temples. I stayed in private homes—a rare thing in Japan—and spent the last two weeks working on the translations.” Young knew the language, “the daunting part was making sure I didn’t miss the Buddhist elements.” The book, Precious Mirrors, with the Zen master’s calligraphy on one page and Young’s translations on the facing page, will be released this year. “The only time you live is now,” he smiles, Buddha-like. “Poetry is like a bull. You have to learn how to ride.” Bull writing, I think to myself. “It can kill a man.” Young just keeps on outliving death. Find out more about poet-artistprinter Gary Young at gary-young. net.

MUSIC
DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK Mike Park will bring his Bruce Lee Band to the Crepe Sunday, but running Asian Man Records still comes first.
Skanks for Everything
J
ust last week, Los Gatos musician (and Asian Man Records label owner) Mike Park flew to Korea with a group of his musician buddies to play a free ska show. They were billed as the “Bruce Lee Band.” Afterward, they headed out to Japan to play a couple more shows. This week, they return to the Bay Area and play Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, and finally stop off in Santa Cruz to play the Crepe Place this Sunday. This is their entire tour for two recent Bruce Lee Band releases. The EP Community Support Group was released earlier this year, while
the full-length Everything Will Be Alright, My Friend is expected out later this month. But this small batch of shows actually came up simply because Park was randomly offered a gig in Korea, and who wouldn’t say yes to that? The Bruce Lee Band just happened to be his most recent project, so he booked them. The other shows were tacked on just because they sounded like fun. It’s not like Park doesn’t know what it means to be an active touring musician and really promote a record. He lived that life all through the late ’80s and early ’90s with famed ska-punkers Skankin’ Pickle.
Since they broke up, though, Park’s musical output has been sporadic. His energies have instead been focused on running indie label Asian Man Records, 18 years strong now. “There is no comeback. It’s a side project. My career is Asian Man Records,” Park says. “This is strictly for fun. I don’t push the band. I don’t have a Facebook page for it. There is no Bruce Lee Band Twitter, no Bruce Lee Band Instagram.” In fact, the Bruce Lee Band has technically been around for more than 20 years. They released their first record in 1995, with the members of Less Than Jake backing
The Bruce Lee Band performs at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz, $8.

Skankin’ Pickle’s Mike Park is letting ska music take him around the globe with the Bruce Lee Band BY AARON CARNES
Park. The second was in 2005, with Park and members of the Rx Bandits. For these two new releases, Park has assembled a hodgepodge of musician friends for his band, including Jeff Rosenstock (Bomb the Music Industry), Mike Huguenor (Hard Girls, Shinobu), and Kevin Higuchi (Whiskey Avengers), along with guest appearances by Jesse Michaels (Operation Ivy) and Sean Bonnette (Andrew Jackson Jihad). In-between Bruce Lee Band releases, he’s also put out solo records, as well as albums under the name “the Chinkees,” and even a kid’s album (with a second one in the can). Ska may not be as popular now as when Skankin’ Pickle were going full-throttle, but Park loves the genre unapologetically—and these new songs encapsulate everything good about the genre—simple, catchy songs that are dancey and driving. “My take on stuff is so different at age 45. For me, I could care less if someone thinks ‘oh, that’s not cool.’ I don’t care. We thought we could do it better than other bands, show them ‘this is how you do it,’” Park says. “Most people that don’t like ska don’t know anything about it. They know Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish. They don’t know the Jamaican artists. They don’t know who Prince Buster is, or Desmond Decker, Laurel Aitken, Toots and the Maytals. Even if they’ve heard it, they’d probably go, ‘that’s reggae.’” Almost all of the Bruce Lee Band record was written on the spot while they were recording it. “We were just having a good time. Doing the record was no pressure. ‘We’ll just write a bunch of songs and see what sticks.’ It just kind of came out,” Parks says. Park went to Korea unsure of what to expect in terms of draw. The last time he was there, it was to play to an audience of 10,000. “I always get surprised when people know who I am. I think there’s an underground following of people who know who I am,” Park says. “I’m optimistic though. Even if there’s 50, I’ll still be happy.”

LOCAL BAND
JAKE NIELSEN’S TRIPLE THREAT Blues musician Jake Nielsen didn’t name his band Triple Threat because he plans on being the next big writer/ director/actor. The name stems from the fact that Triple Threat is a trio. Nielsen doesn’t even always have the same two guys backing him, but he sticks to the three-person format regardless, because he likes how it showcases his music. “It gives us a lot of room for improv. A big old band, it doesn’t leave a lot of room open, but every night that we play the songs they are totally different from what they are on the album,” Nielsen says. “The three-piece leaves it open like that.”
SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
His biggest influence is Stevie Ray Vaughan, but he feels the most important aspect to his music is playing with passion.
50
“Everyone makes fun of me ’cause I make funny faces when I play guitar. I just can’t help it,” he says. “It’s just the way music hits me when I’m playing it.” Nielsen started playing the guitar at age 15. Blues was his first love, but when he got older he played in different kinds of bands—most notably the reggae-rock group FUBAR. When that band broke up a few years back, he returned to blues. “A young guy coming up, with all the old timers that have been doing it a while— people are like, ‘what does this kid know about the blues?’” Nielsen says. “Once I get on stage, I just feel it—and it comes out, and people look at me a little differently afterward. Sometimes it takes me a couple songs. I get them— that’s for sure.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 423-1338.
THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS PHOTO BY BRIAN SPADY
THURSDAY 9/4 AMERITRONICA
DIRTWIRE You’re reading that genre right. Dirtwire combines the sparse elements of classic Americana with loops and textures that are cut straight from the electronica scene, with intriguing results. Equal parts ambient, earthy, exhilarating and effortless, this duo is making some unusual, outside-the-box music in the vein of the Canadian band Euphoria and their Beautiful My Child record. A preview of the band’s new EP, The Carrier—out next Tuesday—should be at the top of your to-do list, because if you like either or both of the genres their music straddles, you may just discover your new favorite band.

FRIDAY 9/5 JAZZ/BLUES
THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS When I listen to the California Honeydrops I just want to go out onto
Pacific Avenue, grab all my friends, and dance in a big, billowy skirt. In other words, the California Honeydrops make me feel good. Lead singer Lech Wierzynski truly brings the soul to the band, inspired by listening to contraband recordings of Sam Cooke and Ray Charles as the son of Polish political refugees in Warsaw. With drums, keyboards, bass, saxophone, trumpet and guitar all within the repertoire of this upbeat, yet often bluesy band, the California Honeydrops feel like a little drop of honey with every note. If you've never been to New Orleans, but would like a little taste before making the trip, the California Honeydrops will ease you into the good grooves of the jazz square. SYDNEY MOORHEAD

SATURDAY 9/6 INDIE
BE CALM HONCHO “I love California” is a song by SF’s Be Calm Honcho. It isn’t a sun-filled Beach Boys-esque hand-clapper, yet it captures the essence of the state quite well. It’s a dreamy, nostalgic tune with a sassy strut, like a bohe-
mian Haight Street jam updated for the modern dream-pop, indie listener. It captures the duality of California—the highs and lows, the sun and the fog. It’s off their recently released full length, Honcho Dreams. The fourpiece plays stripped down, yet layered chilled-out, serene, bittersweet songs. Singer Shannon Harney brings a passion that’s somewhere between Neko Case and Adele. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994
SUNDAY 9/7 HIP-HOP
BLU
Once rapper BLU got his start, he went full-force. Since his first album in 2007, he’s released six full lengths, a of couple mixtapes, a few collaboration albums, and a whole bunch of EPs. He’s tiptoed around the mainstream since the get-go, and has instead built a loyal underground following. His flow is simple, fluid and nonchalant, and his lyrics are raw and conscious, rapped over some laid-back funky, surreal beats that work so well in the underground hiphop world. Some of his tunes are pure gold; others are half-thought-out

Watching Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira do his thing is an extraordinary event. I’ve seen him perform with a setup large enough to be described as a room, and yet he has the power to transfix audiences with the smallest of sounds. As he moves from instrument to instrument with the grace, agility and technicality of a master, Moreira re-frames what you thought you knew about percussive music as it intersects with fusion, Afro-Brazilian music and jazz. His current group, Eyedentity, features his daughter D. Booker on vocals. CAT JOHNSON

LAURA LOVE Robert Randolph & the Family Band released an album called Unclassified about a decade ago; this is a perfect answer to anyone who would ask what sort of music Laura Love makes, because there is not one easy category to lump her music into. Over the course of the almost quarter of a century that has passed since she released her debut record—1990’s Z Therapy—the singer, bassist and actress has released a dozen albums, and her styles and influences have included everything from Celtic to reggae, from Gospel to bluegrass, as well as a multitude of genres in between. This Jane of all genres is going to put on one hell of a show. BP INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $21/adv, $25/door, $32/ Gold Circle. 427-2227.

TUESDAY 9/9 DRONE ROCK
EARTH
Twenty-five years after the band Earth formed, they are still surprising fans. Whether it has been their creative evolution from a drone/doom hybrid band, to one that has infused their numerous LPs, EPs and other
recordings with heavy doses of drone aspects, distortion, country, folk and even jazz (legendary genre-bending “jazz” guitarist Bill Frisell guested on their 2008 album, The Bees Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull, for example), they never fail to keep you guessing. BP INFO: 8:30 p.m. The Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $13/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.
AFRICAN/REGGAE
SIERRA LEONE’S REFUGEE ALL-STARS Music has an incredible power to create beauty where there is none and provide strength when oppressive forces seem unbearable. Case in point: the Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars. Created in the West African refugee camps by musicians escaping unimaginable violence and displacement, the group originally entertained the refugees in their own camp with their funk and reggae music. Word of the group spread, however, and the musicians started traveling, bringing their music of hope and justice to other camps, and, eventually, to a global audience. CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/ door. 479-1854.
INFO: 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 27. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $16. 423-8209. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 5 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

FILM
ALLOW ME TO BE FRANK Michael Fassbender plays Frank, who never removes his giant, painted head once in the movie ‘Frank.’
Dead Head SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Quirky and weird hipster comedy ‘Frank’ never quite adds up BY LISA JENSEN
56
W
here does art come from? Is it necessary to endure torment—childhood abuse, incarceration in a mental institution—in order to produce great work? Are fame and recognition the only legitimate measures of success? These are some of the questions posed, although not necessarily answered, in Frank, an oddball little comedy that occasionally achieves the hipster irony it strives for. Too often, however, the film comes across as dysfunctional as its title character, a would-be musical genius in a giant, fake, painted head he never takes off—ever. Directed by Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson, from a script by Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan (who
last collaborated on The Men Who Stare at Goats), the film starts out with plenty of punch in the streets of Dublin. Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) is a lowly tech writer with big rockn-roll dreams; he can’t wander through the streets on the way home from work without turning his every interior observation on the weather, the wildlife, and passers-by into a song. Or, at least, a line or two of a song, which play constantly in his head as he strolls around. By the time he gets home to the flat he shares with his folks, however, not many complete songs ever emerge on the electric keyboard he tries to compose on. One day at the beach, he sees the police pulling an attempted suicide out of the water. It’s Jon’s introduction to the art-rock band,
Chinchilla, suddenly in need of a keyboardist. Although the gig he joins the band for that night lasts approximately one half of a song, he’s soon whisked off with the band for an eleven-month sojourn in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere, ostensibly to record an album—all the while posting his adventures on Twitter. It’s a strange group. Don (Scoot McNairy) is the relatively normal one who acts as Jon’s liaison to the others—guitarist Baraque (Francois Civil), who only speaks French, little punk drummer, Nana (Carla Azar) and surly, aggressive Carla (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who plays an appropriately eerie Theremin. But strangest of all is lead singer and songwriter, Frank (Michael Fassbender), who wears the giant
head—even in the shower. Frank has the uncanny ability to string pithy song lyrics together out of the thin air, which all the others admire. (“I wish I could be Frank,” Don sighs.) He’s an intriguing mix of flamboyant showman and vulnerable artiste. As for the whole fake head thing? “You’re just going to have to go with this,” Don advises Jon. And yet, they have very little in the way of material to record. When Jon finds the courage to play them some of his own songs, he can’t complete a single one, either. And so the time stretches on, for the band, dithering over what its next move should be, but especially for the audience during the long, flaccid midsection of the film where the storyline loses all tension, and random plot elements (death threats, hot tub sex, and lots of talk about finding one’s “dark corners” out of which to create) fail to add up. At long last, the story goes somewhere again—namely, to the SXSW film festival in Texas, where the band lands a gig after Jon’s incessant Tweets and YouTube postings have garnered them a cult following. Things don’t go according to plan, of course, and here is where all the philosophizing about art, life, creativity, and the false promise of media attention comes into play. (Frank, it turns out, has had a perfectly normal, happy, and torment-free childhood.) Still, for all its patented quirkiness, it all adds up to not much for the investment of the viewer’s time. At least Gleeson is completely engaging as the often befuddled but game Jon. And while Fassbender fans will feel deprived at not seeing his face, his body language is often comically expressive—as is his obliging habit of describing his hidden facial expressions at key moments. All the elements are in place to have some droll, larky fun with this premise, but the film, like the band, never quite goes anywhere. FRANK **1/2 (out of four) With Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Written by Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson. A Magnolia Pictures release. Rated R. 95 minutes.

NOW PLAYING A MOST WANTED MAN Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in this political thriller adapted from the John Le Carre novel about an illegal Muslim immigrant in Hamburg who gets caught up in the international war on terror. Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, and Robin Wright costar for director Anton Corbijn. (R) 122 minutes. AS ABOVE/SO BELOW No good can possibly come of it when a team of adventurers decide to explore the catacombs full of ancient bones that lie beneath the city of Paris in this horror thriller, unlocking a dark secret along the way. Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, and Edwin Hodge star. John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine, Devil) directs. (R) 93 minutes.
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. THE EXPENDABLES 3 The old boys’ club of this geriatric action franchise expands to include Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas, Kelsey Grammer, Wesley Snipes, and Mel Gibson (as head villain), in addition to stalwarts Sylvester Stallone, Jason Stratham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kellan Lutz and mixed martial arts champion Ronda Rousey represent the tech-savvy young blood on the team. Patrick Hughes directs. (PG-13) 127 minutes. THE GIVER Brenton Thwaites stars as a youth who discover that his seemingly perfect world of the future is just an illusion in this latest dystopian teen adventure based on a bestselling YA novel (this one by Lois Lowry). Jeff Bridges co-stars in the title role as the eccentric hermit who keeps the town’s library, its forbidden knowledge, and its secrets. Meryl Streep and Taylor Swift co-star. Phillip Noyce directs. (PG-13) 94 minutes. THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY Engaging performances—especially from the sublime Helen Mirren and Indian national treasure Om Puri—spice up this unsurprising, yet enjoyably romantic foodie film. The location is irresistible, a sundrenched corner of the South of France where an upstart family-run Indian eatery sets up shop across the street from a venerable French
restaurant. Dreamy-eyed Manish Dayal and frisky Charlotte Le Bon make a charming romantic couple. And there’s plenty of good-looking food, from haute cuisine to vivid massala-spiced Indian dishes to simple French country cooking, presented with enough relish to make it all go down smoothly. Lasse Hallstrm directs. (PG) 122 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. IF I STAY Based on Gayle Forman’s bestselling YA novel, the story revolves around a teenage girl whose life literally passes before her eyes in a moment that changes things forever. Chloe Grace Moretz stars as the heroine trying to determine if and how to go on with her life. Mireille Enos, Jamie Blackley, and Joshua Leonard costar for director R. J. Cutler. (PG-13) 106 minutes. LET’S BE COPS Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. star in this action comedy as buddies who dress up as cops for a costume party and become the toast of the neighborhood—until their ruse gets them involved with real-life mobsters, criminals, and police corruption. Luke Greenfield directs. (R) 104 minutes. LIFE OF CRIME The Elmore Leonard novel The Switch is the basis for this dark caper comedy about a sleazy real estate developer (Tim Robbins) who opts not to pay the ransom when his wife (Jennifer Aniston) is kidnapped by dysfunctional would-be criminals John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey. Daniel Schechter directs. (R) 94 minutes. MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT Woody Allen’s second comedy set in France is no Midnight In Paris. But there’s modest fun to be had in this tale of a misanthropic stage magician (Colin Firth) attempting to expose a spiritualist (Emma Stone) he believes is swindling wealthy American expats among the Cote d’Azur elite in the Jazz Age 1920s. Firth is wise enough not to try to imitate Allen’s famous mannerisms in the protagonist’s role, Simon McBurney is fun as his devilish sidekick, the scenery is gorgeous, and the period costumes worn by
the great Eileen Atkins (as Firth’s grande dame aunt) are worth the price of admission. (PG-13) 97 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. THE NOVEMBER MAN Pierce Brosnan stars as the hero of the Bill Granger espionage series, a skilled and deadly ex-CIA agent who comes out of retirement to protect a comely witness (Olga Kurylenko) in a conspiracy investigation. Luke Bracey, Bill Smitrovich, and Will Patton co-star for director Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job). (R) 108 minutes. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES In this mostly live-action reboot of the popular comic book series, New York City is in the grip of evildoers when four masked outcast brothers rise up out of the sewers to become heroes. Megan Fox stars as sympathetic, turtle-friendly girl reporter April O’Neil, and Will Arnett is her cameraman sidekick. Jonathan Liebesman directs. (PG13) WHAT IF This lightweight rom-com from director Michael Dowse is lucky to have pair of attractive leads in Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan. It’s adapted from a two-character play where dialogue counts for a lot, and conversation in the film is laced with postmodern irony, and often very funny self-deprecating humor. The premise may be tissuethin (potential soulmates try to just be friends because one of them already has a live-in sweetie), some of the narrative mood swings feel a bit forced, and even the dialogue occasionally fails big time, but the easy charm of the leads keeps us involved. PG-13. 98 minutes. (***)— Lisa Jensen. WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL Jim Caviezel stars as legendary high school football coach Bob Ladouceur in this fact-based sports drama about how he coached the East Bay’s De La Salle Spartans to an unprecedented 12-year, 151game winning streak. Laura Dern, Alexander Ludwig, and Michael Chiklis co-star for director Thomas Carter (Coach Carter). (PG) 115 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK Creamery (these folks never sleep). Expect a great al fresco celebration of farming and harvest in the Pajaro Valley. It all kicks off with fresh appetizers, live music, a silent auction and a display documenting the colorful history of the Pajaro Valley. The children’s cob oven pizza and garden party is a big favorite. The day ends with a chance to gather around a campfire—nothing digital in sight. (Especially if you can pocket your iPhone for a few hours.) Through Live Earth Farm’s Discovery Program, local kids get hands-on with organic growing. The program aims to raise $40,000 through its Sept. 20 fall fundraising event, to support farm visits, transportation costs, and garden supplies for the 1,500 students who will visit Live Earth Farm in 2014.

Following a champagne reception and silent auction (starting at 6 p.m.), dinner begins at 7:15 p.m. You’ll probably want to break out some serious
party clothes for this one. All sales and event contributions will not only benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank Food for Children program, they’ll also be matched by the Helen and Will Webster Foundation. Who’s cooking? Well, Muriel Loubiere from Au Midi for one. Damani Thomas from Oswald; Scott Cater from Paradise Beach Grille; Steve Wilson from Cafe Cruz; Michael Clark from Michael’s on Main; and Thomas Vinolus from Bittersweet Bistro. In other words, some of your favorite culinary stars. Tickets are $250 per seat, $2,000 for a table of 8. This is a chance to do the right thing.
And enjoy every delicious bit of it. Check the Second Harvest Food Bank website for more details.

am actually drinking a glass of Ser Wine Company’s 2012 Cabernet Pfeffer as I’m writing this. First of all, it’s a Cabernet Pfeffer—a variety of grape not seen on most stores’ shelves. It was nearly brought to extinction in the 1800s in France by the destructive phylloxera louse, so we should be thankful that it’s still around at all, and that fine winemakers like Nicole Walsh have the knowledge and passion to make it. As director of viticulture and winemaking for Bonny Doon Vineyard for 14 years, Walsh has gained a wealth of experience in assisting winemaker Randall Grahm in turning out some fine wines. Walsh acknowledges Grahm as a leader in the field of enology and says she has benefited greatly from working with him. And now, she is not wasting a minute in presenting her own wines to us, including the Cabernet Pfeffer ($35). Pfeffer, meaning “pepper” in German, is a fitting name for the peppery aromas and flavors in this gorgeous earthy wine. Ser means “to be” in Spanish— and “to have the intrinsic quality, expressing identity or origin.” “My winemaking philosophy involves minimal intervention,” Walsh informs us on her label, “allowing the wine to express itself and where it comes from.” In this case, the grapes are harvested from Wirtz Vineyard in Cienega Valley in San Benito County. With fewer than 12 acres farmed in California, I’m certain that the 50 cases of Cabernet

Sumano’s Bakery Local favorite, famous for their sourdough, is expanding BY JACOB PIERCE
S
umano’s Bakery, locally famous for its Watsonville sourdough, is on the rise— adding a branch in Los Angeles County and some tasty new burger buns, too. We talked to owner Ray Sumano about what’s new at the South County bakery.
SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
GT: When did you start doing burger buns?
62
Ray Sumano: We started doing those about six months ago. Yeah, those are good. We used to only make them for restaurants before, but now we’re doing them for some grocery stores. We’re hoping to increase that line. We have whole wheat burger buns, we have plain white, and we have sesame seed, and we have them in different sizes.

Your bread’s tasty, but it doesn’t keep as long as some breads do. It’s good, and it’s bad, since we don’t use preservatives, and it’s all-natural. That keeps us being very careful. We go to the store seven days. And whatever doesn’t sell, we will bring it back and put fresh bread every day. If we leave it in the store for a long time and forget about it, by the time you buy it, it’s going to be old bread. There
are a lot of preservatives, chemicals on the market for bread that will keep it forever. It’ll be in the store for three or four days, and then you take it home, and it’s good for another two or three or four days. But we are not into the chemicals for our bread. Sometimes we have to explain that. But people don’t read the labels that good. If you read the labels on our bread, you can read all the ingredients really easily. It’s three or four ingredients. That’s why it goes bad quick. We would rather open another place than send our bread far away.
Do you ever get late-night calls when something goes wrong? This morning I got called at five in the morning when our truck broke down in Capitola, so I had to come back here and take a back-up truck there and switch trucks and wait for the towing truck. That’s normal, it happens. We have equipment here that sometimes goes bad. I get calls, and sometimes if they don’t find a mechanic, I’ll jump in and try to fix it.
Do you ever make it worse? Sometimes, yeah. Sometimes I get lucky, and I get it right. sumanosbakery.com, 722-5511
+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE FULL MOON
We must be patient Thursday, Sept. 4—we may experience limitation and restraints, feeling we haven’t done or said enough. Carefully think through ideas before explaining. The afternoon is easier. Friday through Sunday may prove difficult concerning agreements or conclusions. We can’t seem to find anyone thinking or feeling as we do to understand us. This is temporary. However, it places everyone in a state of solitude and feelings of loss. What’s occurring is refinement from Virgo, transformation from Pluto and inner expansion from Jupiter—all working together for our evolution (Path of Return). Things get easier with Aquarius moon. We begin to feel a sense of freedom, innovation, liberty. Saturday we’re more hungry than usual. We need expansion. Sunday, Pisces moon, we’re confused, seek the spiritual,
encounter dissolution. We dive into the wreck and emerge out of the deep waters filled with compassion and tenderness. Monday is unsettling (Uranus). Monday evening (full moon time) is the Solar Festival of Virgo, 16.19 degrees. Virgo (the mother, earth, matter and form) contains within herself the spirit of God (Father). As Father and Mother/matter merge they create the Holy Child (the Soul), which Virgo is gestating, giving birth at Winter Solstice. We begin preparations for winter solstice at this full moon time. Tuesday, Mercury/Pluto—a message is given to humanity that things are building toward a deep, we-can’tgo-back-to-the-past, transformative change. We prepare for this, too. Together. Under the light of the full moon.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
Is work with family and home providing you with a sense of gladness? Are you working hard and getting much accomplished? Are you compromising and/ or cooperating with everyone? These neutralize unanticipated conflicts. Wherever you’re living, whatever you’re doing, you want and need freedom. Don’t be irritable. Study and travel, climb a mountain, find and wear sturdy shoes. These direct the hidden Martian energy you feel, helping you pass the tests.
You have many good ideas - a result of your Ray 3 (Divine Intelligence, Right Action) mind. Often with these gifts we can become prideful, creating arguments that separate us, limiting any sharing. This is a developmental phase. Observe the results of what you say and do and then how you feel. Freewill only occurs when we are aware, awake and observant. Have the intention to work on balance and greater harmony. The Mother loves you.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of September 3-10, 2014
TAURUS Apr21–May21 Your behavior at times looks like you’re becoming a Leo. It’s important to express yourself with an “I am” focus, for you need self-proclamations, praise and recognition. Self-denial, discipline, and setting aside any gratifications are not helpful at this time. It’s also important to tend to health and well-being. Invite others to help you in times of stress or need. This builds your self-awareness. You’re in a good relationship.
GEMINI May22–June20 Jupiter is progressing through your third house of learning. Do all you can to expand your mind. Then share your experiences and studies with others. You need not push others to agree with your thinking. They already do. They like you. Young people come into your life. They have freer points of view. Assess these newer points of view. What you believe now frames your future. So expansion is important. What are you reading?
As your life continues to present unusual events, information becomes absorbed quickly and it’s having a profound effect on your thinking. The solitude you’re experiencing allows deep reflection so new choices can be made. Reflection upon death of a loved one gives you greater life perspectives. Much of the past seems to be shadowing you. Soon they fall away. A new presence has arrived.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Your thoughts are toward the future, where hopes, wishes and dreams create a revolution of mental activity. You want to have experiences that summon your potential. Don’t be alone all the time. Although you’re independent, there’s a need for interaction with those you trust. A need for playfulness, fun and laughter. Coordinate your needs with those of others. And do careful physical exercise. Someone misses you
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Each day you’re working hard on spiritual tasks set before you. Suspending many pleasures you focus on each day’s labor. They surprise you with unexpected and unforeseen challenges. Tend to your creativity and health carefully – they are connected. Eliminate foods, drinks, people, events that imbalance your immune system. Think abundant green foods. Daily drink a combination of apple, celery, parsley and cucumber. Organic.
Located in front of Home Depot
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 What you think and feel are most important now. What others think and feel is most important to them, now, too. Therefore, step back and observe everyone’s daily routines, communications and feelings. Others are perhaps unable at this time to tend to your needs, wishes and wants. This allows you time to be creative, innovative, further observing the self. Travel and publishing are good for you. You just may meet someone on their way to where you’re going.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Allow all difficult experiences to simply go their way. Your path is different. It seems the world’s actions at times seem to undermine your intentions. You could feel frustration, irritation, and sadness. To ease this situation work more in solitude and consider everything you do as service to humanity. Then all experiences benefit your well-being. Radiate, even in times of unpleasantness, the kindness and Goodwill.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Do be sensitive to others because your energy, brilliance, light, actions and thoughts deeply affect others. Without sensitivity to your impact you can create misunderstandings. It’s best to work alone allowing you freedom and independence. Do everything that empowers others. Don’t overwork and be aware of your body’s requirements. You will achieve and accomplish much at this time. You may meet someone important.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Identify your most important goals, visions and ambition. Write down and illustrate these daily. Notice how hard you work with initiative and great effort. It’s best to work in a garden with falling water nearby. Be in the sun daily, especially sunrises and sunsets. Align your energy with everything around you. Life becomes no longer a challenge, but a source of beauty and harmony. Study growing, harvesting, storing and preserving foods. Plant fig, mulberry and citrus trees.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Money is a special energy. It helps us have what we want and need. It allows us choices between this and that, to learn, to have beauty, make purchases, nurture our body and spirit, and if used wisely money helps us accomplish goals. Most important money helps us share with and assist those in need. Money is made from the mineral and plant kingdoms. We thank them. And many thank you, too, for what you share and give. Give more.
