The driest place on the planet is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It gets about a half-inch of rain per year. And yet, in 2011, archaeologists discovered that it's also home to a site containing the fossilized skeletons of numerous whales and other ancient sea creatures. I'm detecting a metaphorically comparable anomaly in your vicinity, Aries. A seemingly arid, empty part of your life harbors buried secrets that are available for you to explore. If you follow the clues, you may discover rich pickings that will inspire you to revise your history.
The average serving of pasta on a typical American's plate is almost 480 percent bigger than what's recommended as a healthy portion. So says a research paper titled “The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic,” by Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle. Muffins are 333 percent larger than they need to be, the authors say, and steaks are 224 percent excessive. Don't get caught up in this trend, Libra. Get what you need, but not way, way more than what you need. For that matter, be judicious in your approach to all of life's necessities. The coming phase is a time when you will thrive by applying the Goldilocks principle: neither too much nor too little, but just right.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 Businessman Warren Buffet is worth $65.5 billion, but regularly gives away 27 percent of his fortune to charity. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates owns $78 billion, and donates 36 percent. Then there are the members of the Walton family, owners of Walmart, where 100 million Americans shop weekly. The Waltons have $136 billion, of which they contribute .04 percent to good causes. You are not wealthy in the same way these people are, Taurus. Your riches consist of resources like your skills, relationships, emotional intelligence, creative power, and capacity for love. My invitation to you is to be extra generous with those assets—not as lavish as Buffet or Gates, perhaps, but much more than the Waltons. You are in a phase when giving your gifts is one of the best things you can do to bolster your own health, wealth, and well-being.
GEMINI May21–June20 You have two options. You can be in denial about your real feelings and ignore what needs to be fixed and wait for trouble to come find you. Or else you can vow to be resilient and summon your feistiest curiosity and go out searching for trouble. The difference between these two approaches is dramatic. If you mope and sigh and hide, the messy trouble that arrives will be indigestible. But if you are brave and proactive, the interesting trouble you get will ultimately evolve into a blessing.

Astronauts on the International Space Station never wash their underwear. They don't have enough water at their disposal to waste on a luxury like that. Instead, they fling the dirty laundry out into space. As it falls to Earth, it burns up in the atmosphere. I wish you had an amenity like that right now. In fact, I wish you had a host of amenities like that. If there was ever a time when you should be liberated from having to wash your underwear, make your bed, sweep the floor, and do the dishes, it would be now. Why? Because there are much better ways to spend your time. You've got sacred quests to embark on, heroic adventures to accomplish, historical turning points to initiate.

What are those new whisperings in your head? Are they messages from your inner teacher? Beacons beamed back through time from the Future You? Clues from the wise parts of your unconscious mind? Whatever they are, Leo, pay attention. These signals from the Great Beyond may not be clear yet, but if you are sufficiently patient, they will eventually tell you how to take advantage of a big plot twist. But here's a caveat: Don't automatically believe every single thing the whisperings tell you. Their counsel may not be 100-percent accurate. Be both receptive and discerning toward them.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In the English-speaking world, a sundae is a luxurious dessert that features ice cream topped with sweet treats like syrup, sprinkles, and fruits. In Korea, a sundae is something very different. It consists of a cow's or pig's intestines crammed with noodles, barley, and pig's blood. I expect that in the coming week you will be faced with a decision that has metaphorical similarities to the choice between a sundae and a sundae. Make sure you are quite clear about the true nature of each option.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “Children are the most desirable opponents at Scrabble,” declares Scorpio author Fran Lebowitz, “as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.” I don't wholeheartedly endorse that advice for you in the coming days, Scorpio. But would you consider a milder version of it? Let's propose, instead, that you simply seek easy victories to boost your confidence and hone your skills. By this time next week, if all goes well, you will be ready to take on more ambitious challenges.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 You are entering a phase when you will have more luck than usual as you try to banish parasitic influences, unworthy burdens, and lost causes. Here are some projects you might want to work on: 1. Bid farewell to anyone who brings out the worst in you. 2. Heal the twisted effect an adversary has had on you. 3. Get rid of any object that symbolizes failure or pathology. 4. Declare your independence from a situation that wastes your time or drains your resources. 5. Shed any guilt you feel for taking good care of yourself. 6. Stop a bad habit cold turkey.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Are you ready to be as affable as a Sagittarius, as charismatic as a Leo, as empathetic as a Cancerian, and as vigorous an instigator as an Aries? No? You're not? You're afraid that would require you to push yourself too far outside your comfort zone? OK, then. Are you willing to be half as affable as a Sagittarius, half as charismatic as a Leo, half as empathetic as a Cancerian, and half as inspiring an instigator as an Aries? Or even a quarter as much? I hope you will at least stretch yourself in these directions, Capricorn, because doing so would allow you to take maximum advantage of the spectacular social opportunities that will be available for you in the next four weeks.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In the coming weeks I hope you will find practical ways to express your new-found freedom. All the explorations and experiments you have enjoyed recently were fun and provocative, but now it's time to use the insights they sparked to upgrade your life back in the daily grind. Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I love it when you are dreamy and excitable and farseeing, and would never ask you to tone down those attractive qualities. But I am also rooting for you to bring the high-flying parts of you down to earth so that you can reap the full benefits of the bounty they have stirred up. If you work to become more well-grounded, I predict that you will be situated in a new power spot by Dec. 1.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The heavy metal band known as Hatebeak broadened the definition of what constitutes music. Its lead singer was Waldo, an African grey parrot. A review by Aquarius Records called Waldo's squawks “completely and stupidly brilliant.” For Hatebeak's second album, they collaborated with animal rights' activists in the band Caninus, whose lead vocalists were two pit-bull terriers, Basil and Budgie. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I'd love to see you get inspired by these experiments. I think you will generate interesting results as you explore expansive, even unprecedented approaches in your own chosen field.

SOUNDS GOOD Randy Masters in his home in Aptos

Sound Wave Cure Local musician Randy Masters to teach course integrating sound with massage BY BRAD KAVA people and drifters, Masters uses sound and music to make life better; to help people focus and meditate, and maybe help them heal. Students travel from around the world to take his “Not So Mystery” classes. “Musical vibrations have been at the heart of ceremonies for thousands of years,” says Masters, 64. “They have found 3,000-yearold Chinese cast metal gongs which were impeccably tuned to the perfect frequencies. That ancient work is only now being picked up by the Western world. “A lot of civilizations know how to do profound things with sound. There are frequencies that can take you to a zone, put you in a trance or change your brain.”
Masters, who was the only white guy in the African band Hedzoleh Soundz in the ’70s—long before Paul Simon looked toward that continent— began studying “sacred vibrations” in chanting, religious music, drums, gongs and tuning forks. He has more motivation than most in this field—and more reason to be skeptical. Born with a paralyzed right arm, he still learned to play dozens of instruments, although the piano is a challenge. He thought he might find a way to cure his arm through sound. “I haven’t found it, but I’m still looking,” he says. “I have gotten results, but I haven’t completed the process.” Maybe it’s his extensive work in

hile the Army, the CIA and even the City of Santa Cruz are studying ways to use sound to repel enemies, former jazz and world beat musician Randy Masters is among a group of scholars learning how to use sound to heal. Masters, who taught music at UCSC and San Jose State, is now an “artist in resonance” at his Aptos company Resonant Living. He sells instruments that harness musical vibrations to “unblock the flow to the creator and restore balance and harmony.” Unlike the City of Santa Cruz, which is using speakers along the San Lorenzo River to drive away homeless
music theory, but Masters links sound to mathematics, saying the numbers you hear in decibels have parallels to sacred shapes, such as pyramids. He’s done extensive research in Egyptian temples, even spending time in a sarcophagus bringing his numbers to life. “Everything gives off vibrations,” he says. “Everything is made up of vibrating sound. Some things outside the body can be resonating inside it. We have things inside of us, but they haven’t been brought out.” Bringing them out can have positive effects, such as inducing a meditative state or connecting to forces hidden in the body through the vibration of sounds. In his practice, he creates tuning forks linked to the decibel numbers of various planets or sacred figures and uses them to help people connect to those vibrations. Like many in the field of sound healing, Masters is careful about making claims that could fuel complaints of false advertising from federal officials. He doesn’t say that he’s a healer, but says that using sound can help people heal themselves “by helping them focus on the healing powers within themselves.” Masters will be teaching the first 200-hour state accredited course integrating sound healing and massage at Santa Cruz’s Cypress Health Institute in November. The institute’s manager Susan Matthews, who is a psychotherapist, says she found various forms of sound therapy, including tuning forks, to be powerful tools. Some sound therapies can help align pathways in the brain and body, says Matthews. Rhythms played to both ears can help connect the right and left side of the brain, and other sounds can help a person reach meditative and relaxed alpha and theta brainwaves. She’s also seen the power of tuning forks. “If you have a headache or you feel sluggish energy, there are different points you can use that will help,” she says. “When you hit the tuning fork, the vibration can be felt deep within the body.” More information on the Sound Healing Course at www.cypresshealthinstitute.com or 476-2115.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS A look at five proposals for the future of Santa Cruz water BY ARIC SLEEPER
Water conservation is the new norm for the foreseeable future, at least in the city of Santa Cruz. The city council is now reviewing Stage 3 water restrictions on a month-by-month basis, and the city’s recently approved hike in water rate, which includes a “drought recovery fee,” begins this month and is slated to continue until 2019. “The next generation is going to be faced with a miserable climate,” says Water Supply Advisory Committee member Rick Longinotti. “We’re likely to reduce our water supply, and we’re likely to have droughts that are more frequent, so what’s the best way to prepare for that?” City officials and residents gathered on Oct. 16 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium for the Santa Cruz Water Supply Convention, a forum for alternative solutions to the region’s water woes organized by the Santa Cruz Water Department and the Water Supply Advisory Committee. GT took a close look at some of the 25 proposals presented at the convention—from smaller-scale solutions to those on a larger scale.

FROM THE ETHER

One presenter, Vincent Cheng of Canadianbased Dew Point Manufacturing, proposed that residents and businesses consider taking water not from waterways or aquifers, but from the air itself. Dew Point has built the “Water Tower 40,” which collects water vapor in a similar fashion to a dehumidifier. The water tower looks much like an everyday water cooler, and can create up to 40 liters of potable water per day depending on the relative humidity. There’s also an industrial-sized model, which is capable of producing up to 3,000 gallons of water per day, and can be integrated into a building’s ventilation system to provide both air conditioning and heat. “It can do both. You can have an ice rink on one side and a hot yoga studio on the other,” says Cheng.
RATING FOR CHANGE Under its current rate system, the water department’s charges fall into two categories: the volume charge—based on how much each customer uses—and a readiness-toserve charge, which is a flat rate. Activists

atsonville City Council candidate Jimmy Dutra, a realtor and small-business owner, has a vision for his hometown of Watsonville. He says he wants it to be more “business-friendly.” He wants to develop incentives and seek out suitable businesses for the city that will provide sustainable jobs. Dutra, who’s running against Eduardo Montesino in District 4, opposed a new McDonald’s restaurant—the city’s third—that’s slated for the border of the city’s historic downtown. It’s a project that raised opposition from many in the community, and was ultimately cleared to proceed by the City Council during a packed Oct. 14 meeting. Dutra and fellow candidate
Rebecca Garcia, who’s running for District 5 against councilmember Daniel Dodge, are the only two non-incumbents in this year’s Watsonville City Council election, and the two share similar views on some topics. Both want more technology companies to come to the city, and say they envision the empty Gottschalks building on Main Street being transformed into a Cruziotype coworking facility. But it’s not all about the empty Gottschalks building, Garcia says. Economic development, she stresses, needs to be more than just finding another retailer. As a former educator, she sees a need to work with the local school district and Cabrillo College to build an educated, in-demand workforce.
There is talk of economic recovery and job growth across the country, but the reality in Watsonville is different. The city’s unemployment rate has dipped to 15.8 percent from a high of 30.7 percent in February 2010. But that is still much higher than Santa Cruz’s rate of 6 percent or the state’s 7.4 percent—all figures from July. Meanwhile, Watsonville continues to shut most city offices on “Furlough Fridays,” a cost-saving measure implemented in 2009. And the city staffer in charge of economic development works only half-time. The Great Recession hit the city hard. Some would even say Watsonville never fully recovered in the 1980s from the loss of its canneries—an industry that provided union jobs, stability and >16

STREET RACE <12 opportunities for low-skilled workers to own homes and raise their families in relative comfort. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown commercial district, now the subject of a multipronged, public-private revitalization effort, was effectively destroyed by the Loma Prieta earthquake 25 years ago and has been reincarnated in various forms ever since. The loss of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redevelopment agency in 2011 (one of 400 agencies disbanded statewide) was also a major blow that hampered Watsonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to counter blight and support new construction and urban renewal. On Sept. 23, the Watsonville City Council approved the designs and conceptual plan of a downtown improvement scheme. Watsonville economic development manager Kurt Overmeyer says the plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;demonstrates what downtown can be.â&#x20AC;? It calls for a major restructuring of a segment of Main Street stretching from Riverside Drive to Beach Street and would trim the busy thoroughfare from four lanes to two with streetscape improvements, textured crosswalks and widened
sidewalks that would include some greenery and maybe benches. Overmeyer says the streetscape improvements are â&#x20AC;&#x153;just the first phase in a much larger reimagining of downtown.â&#x20AC;? While the city council capped this phase at $550,000, Dutra feels this latest expenditure is a gamble and could leave the city in the lurch if they do not find enough private funds or grants to complete the project.
IN THE FIELD At the pumpkin patch he operates just outside the city, Dutra is taking a break from the campaign trail to unload a truck of newly arrived pumpkins. Dutra, who was born and raised in Watsonville, is his usual enthusiastic self in the patch but admits that campaigning for almost a year straightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;first for Santa Cruz County Supervisor for District 4â&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been exhausting. Dutra was unsuccessful in that first contest during the primary elections, placing third in June, and leaving former Watsonville Police Chief Terry Medina to duke it out in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runoff against
incumbent Greg Caput. That did not diminish his motivation to move Watsonville forward as an elected official. Coming from an agricultural family in the Pajaro Valley and endorsed by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau, Dutra hopes to be a bridge from the city to a billion-dollar agricultural industry that felt dinged by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed Measure T. That proposal would have amended Watsonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban limit line to allow for the annexation of farm land for other uses on Riverside Drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to embrace it,â&#x20AC;? he says, of local agriculture. Garcia, a retired educator and school administratorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also endorsed by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;says there needs to be more of an effort by the City Council to work with the ag industry, area schools and local universities to promote high-wage agricultural jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more to agriculture than picking, irrigating and trucking,â&#x20AC;? says Garcia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are human resources professionals, accountants, engineers, scientistsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; we just need to train and educate them to get those jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Researchers combatting the lethal Ebola virus recently upgraded their arsenal with a new weapon: the Ebola genome browser. UCSC scientists released the browser, essentially a live information hub, on Sept. 30. Research institutions, drug companies, and governments from all over the world can use the browser and its sister website, the Ebola portal, to review everything from the virusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genetic sequence to current outbreak records. The West African Ebola epidemic began last year in Guinea, and has since spread to neighboring countries like Sierra Leone and Liberia. UCSC researcher Jim Kent
led the team that launched the browser, which features genomes of the many strains of Ebola, as well its cousin virus, Marburg. "The browser makes it easy to see the evolution of the virus over time, and between related strains,â&#x20AC;? Kent says. Scientists can use the virusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; genetic sequence and its evolutionary history to understand which vaccines will work best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all,â&#x20AC;? Kent says, "the browser makes most people pretty optimistic that the vaccines developed and tested in animals for previous Ebola outbreaks will continue to work in animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and hopefully in humans, too.â&#x20AC;? The site was online less than a week after Kent first consulted biomedical engineering professor and
fellow bioinformatician David Haussler. Haussler, who directs the UCSC Genomics Institute, quickly corralled other researchers to help pool the information needed to make the website. Their collaborative efforts could help contain outbreaks and eventually eradicate the virus. BRENDAN D. BANE

COLD ONE Max Rajewski of Dew Point Manufacturing serves up a refreshment at the Santa Cruz Water Supply Convention.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS <12

from Desal Alternatives, like Longinotti, worry that the fixed readiness-to-serve charge penalizes those who use less water, and that the recently approved drought fee will cause a further disincentive to conserve. Desal Alternatives has suggested the Water Department focus its rates more on the volume used by each household, and steer away from the fixed charges. The proposal also suggests that those who use the most water in the city’s service area, like large landscape accounts, bear the cost of new water investments made by the city. One difficulty with this approach may be keeping department revenues constant as customers get better and better at conserving.
DRIVEN BY DATA San Francisco-based WaterSmart Software
seeks to make sense of a municipality’s water use. WaterSmart’s software, which is already in use in the Soquel Creek Water District and the city of Morgan Hill, provides residents with a “WaterScore” with each bill, and also through an online portal that shows an individual household’s trends in water use and compares it to the use of neighbors. The software not only gives customers an in-depth look at their own water consumption, but also provides an analytics dashboard for the Water Department to help it make more data-driven decisions. According to WaterSmart’s client solutions manager, David Sheridan, the program increases water conservation by about 5 percent in six months to a year and triples customer participation in water management programs. “What you get is a more engaged community,” he says.

BANKING ON THE RIVER
DIVERSIFYING BONDS
The city of Santa Cruz’s own water production superintendent, Terry McKinney, took the opportunity to provide a few of his own solutions at the Water Supply Convention. Among the four projects displayed at his booth was a proposal to add collector wells alongside various city-owned sites like the Felton Diversion, which would help to diversify water sources, and decrease the city’s dependence on the Loch Lomond reservoir. Ranney Collector Wells capture water from the ground alongside rivers and streams—and not directly from the waterways themselves— using horizontal conduits versus conventional vertical wells. The cost to construct each collector is about $2.5 million and would supply approximately 5 to 8 million gallons of water per day for each collector built. “It’s not going to solve the whole water crisis, but it’s going to deal with a piece of it,” says McKinney.
Out of the nine proposals presented by Desal Alternatives, co-chair Longinotti says the most important is for the county to work toward a collaboration of all the region’s water districts to restore existing aquifers. “If we could collaborate with our neighboring water districts to restore those aquifers, that would be the best gift we could give to the next generation,” he says. All 25 of the proposals presented at the Water Supply Convention can be found on Civinomics.com, where citizens can vote and comment on their effectiveness, practicality, and potential benefits to the local environment and economy. After the comment period ends on Nov. 2, votes and comments will be considered by the Water Supply Advisory Committee before it makes recommendations this spring.

STREET RACE <16 The contest between Dodge and Garcia in the fifth district is an interesting one, as the two are former allies. They worked together on a lawsuit to bring district elections to Watsonville in the 1980s. Later, Councilmember Dodge appointed Garcia to the Parks and Recreation Commission and the 2010 Redistricting Task Force. Garcia also signed the petition to get Measure T on the ballot, believing it was important for the city to decide on issues of growth for itself. However, she did not agree with the City Council's timing of the election, believing the $62,000 to hold a special election in June 2013 was a waste of public funds. The measure was soundly defeated when it got just 24 percent at the polls. For his part, Councilmember Daniel Dodge, who championed the controversial proposal, is unapologetic and a bit fed up with hearing about Measure T. “I have not heard any complaints from my district,” he says. “‘At least you tried,’ they say.” City councilmember Montesino, who is competing with Dutra, did not respond to requests for comment. City councilmember Nancy Bilicich is running unopposed for re-election in District 7.

As California voters try to muster up enthusiasm for the mid-term elections on Nov. 4, hotbed issues could generate a flurry of excitement locally in Watsonville. But especially for first-time city council candidates, like Dutra and Garcia, getting their supporters to the polls may be the biggest challenge. As Election Day draws nearer, city council candidates are taking their final walks and hoping the lively conversations they have with their district neighbors will be enough to compel them to vote. City Councilmember Dodge, who is being challenged by Garcia in District 5, says he is “concerned about low turnout.” The city has a remarkably low number of registered voters— only 14,636 out of a population of 52,477, and District 5 has 1,862 of those voters.

Azar Nafisi on American identity and misguided individualism BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD
S
ometimes it takes someone who chose to be a citizen to show us what’s important about the American experience. Azar Nafisi took the oath in 2008, after the release of her bestselling memoir, Reading Lolita in Tehran, which told her story of teaching American literature to Iranian women at the risk (for everyone involved) of detention and torture. In her new book, The Republic of Imagination, she takes on American literature in its own backyard, propelling us through works by Mark Twain, Sinclair Lewis, Carson McCullers and James Baldwin, and reminding us that they too were
rebels, who gave voice to the American Dream—and still do. It’s not a dream about wealth creation, political dogma, or 15 minutes of fame, she argues. It’s about curiosity and wanderlust, our willingness to question ourselves and our sometimes spectacular willingness to fail. It applauds us for wrestling with our demons and forgives us for falling short, even as it demands that we do better. I spoke to Nafisi last week, in advance of her reading and talk Oct. 28 at Peace United Church in Santa Cruz. Writers currently talk about our “cult of individualism,” as if we’ve turned a healthy pursuit into an affliction. How
do you see the state of individualism in America right now? AZAR NAFISI: What I see dominant today is the narcissistic type that claims it’s a dog-eat-dog world. You see it very much in corporate America, the way they talk about success in terms of money and greed. The books I write about argue that there is another side to American individualism. Take Huckleberry Finn. He’s the quintessential American hero, but he grows into a moral individual through his relationship to Jim. Jim’s companionship shows him how wrong it is to take away from a human being his choices, his children, his family. Because of Jim,
The book business is wrestling with individualism, too. Amazon has argued that readers are best served by looking out for their own interests, but in practice this seems to be narrowing our choices. What’s the best response to Amazon’s argument? It’s not only the task of writers, publishers, librarians and retailers to define what the fate of books should be. Readers also have a responsibility. If their responsibility toward the act of reading and the world of imagination is simply moral comfort and to save a few dollars, we all lose. Amazon and e-books are here to stay, but our lives are not just based on efficiency and comfort. They’re also based on the enrichment of ideas, and for that you can’t have monopolies. Books need to be exchanged by people who love them, and those communities can’t disappear. Are we going to live our lives sitting in a room, ordering things? Humanity is about sensuality and connection. Connection seems like a challenge, since we so often self-segregate into groups that share our beliefs. How can literature bridge the gap between people who don’t see eye to eye? The point of a democracy is to contain many different voices, and some of the most democratic places in the world are bookstores, libraries and museums. Because we live in a polarized society, we see irreconcilable differences rather than the fact that no matter who we are or where we come from, we share things that are universal. That’s what literature represents, the best of our common humanity. We can’t travel to every household or inhabit every culture, but we can understand them through great books and poems, music and art. It’s amazing how much we have in common, and much less amazing how different we are. Azar Nafisi will be appearing at Peace United Church, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Tickets can be purchased online or in-person at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

One French pop star is out to change the music industry by making Katy Perry dance BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON
28
Y
elle’s latest music video opens with her riding a giant cob of corn. She then steps on some broken glass, and lies down in a bed of popcorn. Maybe that’s what she means by “complètement fou?” Not exactly, explains Yelle (née Julie Budet) over Skype. “Complètement fou” describes her band’s “completely crazy” whirlwind journey from MySpace sensation in 2007 to getting remixed by Katy Perry, featured on MTV, and having two albums spend over a week on Billboard’s Top 20. “It’s also the story about our band, the way we started doing things on MySpace and we built something, without building it, we just wanted to have fun and we like to play live
and this is just the result of enjoying our lives,” Budet recounts in her delightfully airy French accent, disarming with her level of giddiness. “We started working on the song ‘Je Veux Te Voir,’ and put it on MySpace, and after a few days we had a really good response from people on the Internet, and we had an email from a label in France and they wanted to sign us. It was really weird and intense [...] we didn’t know where it would go, we just wanted to have fun and make songs and it happened really quickly.” The song that ricocheted them from MySpace to international popdom— made with bandmates GrandMarnier and Tepr a.k.a Jean-Francois Perrier and Tanguy Destable—wasn’t greeted with enthusiasm from everyone.
Especially not by the French alternative hip-hop artist Cuizinier of TTC, who the song mocks for being absurdly misogynistic. The first few lines playfully poke fun at his, ahem, manhood. “It was always about ‘girl’ and ‘slut’ and whatever he called them,” explains Budet. “We thought it could be fun—a girl’s response, because in France if we have a female rapper, they don’t really dis men.” The song speaks to bigger issues, too, she explains. “It’s still hard for a girl to find space, to have credibility—it’s still complicated for girls, and men are all responsible in a way because they like to play with the difference and the machismo thing, so if they
don’t try to go that way, to help the balance between boys and girls, it’s not going to happen,” she says. “It’s still complicated, but I’m sure it will change. I hope. I’m really fighting for it.” The ’80s-nostalgic vibe, with colorful spandex, crazy dance moves and visor sunglasses, are all a part of how she’s playfully challenging pop industry’s c’est la vie trope, in her own tongue-in-cheek kind of way (the giant corn cob comes to mind). And despite the jab against the TTC’s lyrics, there’s no love lost. In fact, after hearing that one of the group’s members, Tacteel, was working on a solo project, Yelle asked him to collaborate on the recent album. You can hear his vocals on the album’s namesake track. “It matches totally with our universe, the way we are playing with words and everything,” she says. “He became a friend, because we came from the same generation, we grew up with the same references [...] he helped us to express ourselves as we are.” The new album (complete with its very own translator app on iTunes and Google Play) was released under producer Dr. Luke, who has worked with almost every top name in the business—from Nicki Minaj to Britney Spears, Rihanna and Bon Jovi. Although Dr. Luke’s name has recently been in the press for a lawsuit filed by Kesha alleging he abused her, Budet had only good things to say about him, and declined to comment on the allegations against him. “I think he really helped us to go deeper in our music,” she says. “You always think you have your recipe, your secret, sitting in your comfy studio at home, and you think it’s the better place to work. And you go out and you discover a new place, new people, and you’re scared sometimes. And actually the magic happens, and you realize ‘OK, it can work outside my comfy place.’” Pushing past their comfort zone seems to be working for Yelle—Katy Perry seems to think so, at least, judging from her tweet about their music last week: “I DON’T CARE IF I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT I LOVE IT AND IT MAKES MY BOOTY BOUNCE.” Yelle performs at 7 p.m. on Oct. 29 at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $17/$20.

OUTFOXED Foxygen plays the Rio on Thursday, Oct. 23, on the heels of their recent release, … and Star Power.
PHOTO: CARA ROBINS
Volatile Creatures On-stage meltdowns aside, Foxygen discusses their recent new album BY AARON CARNES fights with the audience, selfabuse, climbing all over the club’s equipment and on-stage meltdowns. “We have an unpredictable aspect to our show. We have tons of energy on stage, so much that we don’t have any energy to do anything else during the day when we’re on tour. We’re just completely exhausted all the time,” says multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Rado. Their follow-up record … and Star Power, which hit shelves Oct. 14, seems like an odd attempt to marry their two worlds. For starters, it’s a whopper of an album at an hour and twenty-two minutes, and is divided into four movements. It begins as a collection of mellow psych-pop songs, which moves
into eerie, paranoid tunes, then into full-blown noisy, messy audio chaos, and finally ends in what can best be described as a short, dreary hangover. The concept of the album is about a fictitious punk rock band called “Star Power” that is slowly taking over the record. Though they’ve never stated it, Star Power, it seems, is the embodiment of their unpredictable live shows. There’s greater musical diversity on the album. The songs bounce around to every conceivable subgenre of rock ’n’ roll from the ’60s and ’70s (psychedelic, doom-metal, soft-rock, AM pop tunes, spacejams, glam-rock and country-rock) and digs into the campiness of it in
Foxygen plays at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 423-8209. $20.

L
ive performances and studio recordings have always been two entirely different art forms, but Southern California-based psychedelic rockers Foxygen have spent the last year and half traversing the extreme differences between the studio and performing. Their second LP, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic, a well-composed, multi-layered and even-tempered psychedelic-pop record, was a breakout hit last year, prompting the group to hit the road and tour. Their shows have been a completely different animal, though: a furious explosion of energy befitting a raging punk rock band, including
a new way that’s both playful and endearing. “Back then, they weren’t trying to make a cheesy song, they were trying to make a good song—I think it’s the same mindset that we have,” Rado says. “We were theater kids raised on show tunes. It’s built into our blood—that campiness. A lot of my inspiration for my piano comes from show tunes.” When they got all the attention last year for their second LP, they weren’t completely ready to become a full-time touring band. Even before their official debut album, Rado and Sam France had been crafting albums in their bedrooms together since high school. Famed L.A. producer Richard Swift heard some of those recordings, and both connected them to the right people, and produced their breakout album. “We owe our whole music career to him. He got us a record deal essentially. He’s amazing and a very important figure in the Foxygen universe,” Rado says. Unlike their breakout record, … and Star Power was recorded without the help of Swift. The duo worked mostly alone, occasionally bringing in guest musicians. They actually had the vision of the album’s sound and concept before beginning the recording process. They wrote out a track list of the 24 tracks, and did their best to record each song in order of the album, to really feel the changing mood of the album as it progresses. Without Swift, the duo worked much in the same way they did when they were 16, bouncing crazy ideas off of each other and going with them, but it was done on a much larger scale. As much as they are pushing this as a concept album, it’s not like a Rush album with an elaborate universe and characters involved. The concept is more a vehicle for their sonic experimentation. “We just wanted to do more. We wanted to show different sides of our music,” Rado says. “We wanted it to start out lush and then go into complete trash. That was kind of the idea.”

THE INSIDER’S GUIDE TO
KAUBOI
A
huge part of Santa Cruz Restaurant Week has always been about offering a great dining experience for an affordable price. For some locals, the $25 flat-rate cost has provided the opportunity (or the excuse!) to try new spots, and indulge in Santa Cruz fine dining in a way they might have thought too pricey before. For a lot of restaurants, it’s worked out well, too, but a few restaurants who wanted to participate felt like they simply couldn’t do a fixed-price menu for $25, or that it constrained them so much they couldn’t deliver an experience that felt authentic.
So this year, SCRW has added a second price tier, at $35. Though most restaurants are still offering their special menu at $25, this latest twist has expanded the Santa Cruz Restaurant Week even further. In this special pullout section, take a look at our guide to what the participating restaurants are excited about for SCRW 2014, and check out the menus being offered this week, too. Thanks to everyone who has worked to create what promises to be the best 4 Restaurant Week yet!

The restaurant has not yet opened all of its dining areas, or even unveiled a full menu, but the Grill, which opened near the Pasatiempo Golf Club two months ago, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that stop them from participating in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant Week. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been prioritizing comfort-style American dishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very reduced menu. To balance the menu a little bit more, we have added seafood to it,â&#x20AC;? says general manager Tim Lynch. Their special SCRW menu entrees include ribs, market fish, and barbecued chicken salad.

LAHULA’S POSTA ing. Creative mixology is complemented with bar bites and a full dinner menu, and 515’s Restaurant Week menu says all you need to know about chef Caleb Hanscom’s culinary vision: blood orange mixed green salad and roasted carrot ginger soup finished with crème fraîche as starters; grilled flank steak, and game hen with sourdough stuffing and pear cider gastrique as entrees; and a dessert of Rosé-poached pears with vanilla ice cream and almond brittle. (MG)
a shorter menu, along with our regular menu at the same time, but this will be the only one we will offer, as we are accustomed to this length,” says Chef Gemma Cruz. “The new price of $35 will allow us to offer more substantial dishes and more expensive ingredients, such as fish and meats.” (JS)
Gabriella Cafe
Some restaurants see SCRW as a good way to showcase items on their regular menu, others put together special offerings that diners rarely get to sample otherwise. “We do a little bit of both,” says Adam Hoffman, owner of Hoffman’s. “We have some courses from our menu, and we also have things we run as specials.” One item to look out

Hindquarter Bar & Grille 303 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz, 426-7770, thehindquarter.com
This will be the first Restaurant Week for Hindquarter Bar and Grille under its new management—three employees, who had each been working at the steakhouse for more than a decade, purchased it nine months ago. On this year’s prix fixe menu, the new team is trying to offer a little bit of everything. “If you don’t want seafood, you can have steak. If you don’t want a steak, you can have ribs,” explains
owner/kitchen manager Sam Yanez, who’s been at the grill 26 years. The appetizers include French onion soup, baby lettuce salad and calamari fries. (JP)
Hula’s Island Grill 221 Cathcart St., Santa Cruz, 426-4852, hulastiki.com
Rita Price is determined. “I will guarantee I can find something for any taste—whether it’s sweet or spicy, meat or not meat, gluten free or vegan,” she says, adding that she hopes RW will give people the opportunity to try all their flavors. Being categorized as “just Hawaiian” is something that frustrates Price as general manager of the restaurant. “We mix so many different types of food,” she says, “it’s a great time for people to try new things.”

Hollins House Restaurant and Bar 20 Clubhouse Road, Santa Cruz, 459-9177, pasatiempo.com
Chef John Paul Lechtenberg shared his culinary expertise from the restaurant’s organic garden while gathering the last
summer produce from eight strains of tomatoes and 16 types of herbs. His philosophy? “Taste foods as they are ready.” Everything in the restaurant is made 100 percent from scratch, including the bread and butter. The SCRW menu showcases his progressive techniques, like slow cooking and sous vide (under vacuum), as with crispyskin chicken breast. He is proud to feature Skuna Bay deep-water salmon from British Columbia. With high praise for his crew, he says, “You’re only as good as your team.” (JS)
Ideal Bar & Grill 106 Beach St., Santa Cruz, 423-5271, idealbarandgrill.com
Kitchen Manager Jesus Garcia says Ideal guests have been enjoying Santa Cruz’s Indian Summer weather on what they bill as the largest outdoor patio in the county. Offerings from the Bay like homemade ceviche and Pacific Rim salmon continue to be house favorites, and Garcia likes the local focus that has come up around both food and drink in Santa Cruz. “I'm excited to see food pairings emerging around the growing craft beer
and spirits scene,” says Garcia. “The local wine scene has been thriving for years, but it’s nice to see the exciting new things you can do with local beer, either in new recipes or pairing with already established foods on the menu.” (JS)

at Laili. “My father wanted to create his own artistic representation of Laili through food and service,” says Ali Amin, who manages the family-owned restaurant. Laili is approaching SCRW as a preview of their eclectic menu by showcasing their most popular dishes, including a starter of braised butternut squash called kadoo boranee. “That’s probably our signature dish, it’s a family recipe and traditional Afghan recipe,” says Amin, whose grandmother and father collaborated on the final dish, which is served with qurut yogurt. “We use that in a lot of our dishes, it’s a traditional Afghani yogurt that goes through a unique process, it’s set out until it has a sour taste, then boiled, cooked and drained of all water. In Afghanistan they would dry it out, turn it into bricks and freeze it, we kind of rehydrate it and mix it with some good stuff, sour cream, garlic.” (MG)

The food at Louie’s Cajun Kitchen is as warm and lively as the atmosphere; vibrantly muraled walls and voodoo dolls meet a menu that includes crawdads and more than 60 bourbons. This year, owner Lou Caviglia is featuring a few of his New Orleans classics—chicken or andouille sausage gumbo and fried green tomatoes as starters, and the all-time-favorite catfish entrée, which comes grilled, blackened or cornmeal crusted. He’s also planning two special entrées doused in southern soul, including a braised and barbecued pork shank with jalapeño and cheddar corn bread. “You slow cook it, and then at the end you cover it with barbecue sauce and make it all gooey and sticky.” The other

Chef Katherine Stern says that her menu for Restaurant Week features ingredients from the many small farmers and growers in our region—as it does throughout the entire year. “We are excited to put them in the limelight again for this special dining week.” The Santa Cruz dining scene has had some great new additions in the past few years according to Stern. “I am happy that the new generation of chefs and restaurants is keeping the scene fresh and exciting with a focus on sustainability, and with lots of support for our local farmers.” (CW)

Chef Kirsten Ponza is dedicated to using locally sourced ingredients at Linwood’s. “Your food shouldn’t have to travel more than a hundred miles to get to your plate,” she says. She’s looking forward to the house-smoked salmon that she’ll be using for the pasta dish during SCRW. “We will have chili pappardelle pasta tossed in a feta crème with the smoked salmon and asparagus tips,” she says. “It’s a dish with a ton of flavor, and one of my fall favorites. We’ll also include our sage brown butter gnocchi with mushrooms, tomatoes and garnet yams, and our Ancho chilirubbed pork loin with mango glaze.” (JS)

Chef-owner Michael Clark has participated in SCRW since the start, and loves opening his doors to new faces. With both his Restaurant Week and regular menus, he applies the Asian concept of umami, a practice of combining foods that offer the fifth basic taste after sweet, sour, salty and bitter. This has been practiced since the beginning of time. “Protein provides extra satisfaction, giving food the wow
factor that makes your mouth water,” he says. His RW grilled bistro filet steak with forbidden rice, sautéed vegetables, and brandy peppercorn sauce are a perfect example of protein combined with antioxidant-packed, black (forbidden) rice. (JS)

That’s the beet salad, and its inclusion fits well into his overall vision of Italian cuisine. “My goal is to show people that we care for them like this is our house,” says Nobile.

Harris will discuss his autobiography, putting the “u” back in “autobiography” with a special choose-your-own adventure story based on his life.

As part of this year’s Emerging Choreographers showcase, the 418 presents the “Sacred and Profane” journey of Dante as he ventures through the seven deadly sins. Wrath, lust, greed, sloth, gluttony, envy, and pride will immerse the audience in an underworld of contemporary dance and demonic counterparts, courtesy of local choreographers Zoe Galle, Mercedes Johnson, Tamara Juel-Nelson, Alex Law and Andrew Cortado. A portion of your ticket price goes directly to the artist of your choice.

FRIDAY 10/24 DEAD WRITERS COSTUME PARTY FUNDRAISER Few things are as fun as getting ready for a costume party—thinking up the right outfit, finding the perfect items, putting it all together and then getting in character—come on, who doesn’t love playing dress up? Well, if you fall into the category of creatives who enjoy a good night in the life of someone else, consider dressing up as one of the most interesting people in literary history, for a great cause. In support of the living, this celebration of deceased geniuses will feature a costume contest, short readings from a chosen dead writer’s work, and even a Ouija board in case any of these departed legends feel like judging your attempts to dress like them. This event will support the Young Writers Program, which seeks to motivate students in grades 4-12 toward building writing confidence and skills.

LOCAL BAND
THE SEA WOLVES
OCTOBER 22-28, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Nick “Sick Boy” Anchorheart has been in a lot of bands. But until recently he’s never been in that one that’s fully embraced his true punk rock influences—bands like the Misfits, the Ramones and Social Distortion. With the Sea Wolves, he takes those influences and creates exactly the raw, powerful, vibrant, mid-tempo garagepunk sound he’s always wanted.
46
Anchorheart started the band as a solo acoustic project in 2009, wrote 10 tunes, and then started recruiting other guys to make it a full-fledged punk rock quartet. Over the course of the past five years, he’s cycled through a bunch of members. Bassist Kevin St. Clair had been with him since the beginning, but quit this year. Lead guitarist Dylan Johnson has been with him the past year. Jay “Homicide” Morris started playing bass with him a couple months ago. New drummer Reid Carpenter doesn’t even start until November, while drummer Macker Melchor will finish up their October shows before quitting. One current member who’s brought in a different flavor is lead guitarist Johnson. He brings with him love for big, ’70s arena rock guitar sounds and guitar solos, which balances out the straightforward, driving punk sound. “I grew up listening to bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, stuff where the lead guitar was like the god on stage,” Johnson says. “I definitely bring that wall of guitar sound. We’ll open up the songs for a second, and let loose and rip it up for a while.” AARON CARNES
INFO: 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 423-1338.
WEDNESDAY 10/22 PSYCH/ROCK
CHRISTIAN BLAND As lead guitarist for drone rockers the Black Angels, Christian Bland helps create a driving, dense wave of sound that has made the group a darling of the neo-psych craze. With his longtime side project the Revelators, Bland explores territory that is markedly less drone-y, but still plenty outthere, with swirling layers, repeating themes, unexpected melodies and trippy flourishes. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.
FUNK
ROBERT WALTER’S 20TH CONGRESS Does he play funk or does he play jazz? The answer, of course, is “yes.” Robert Walter, who’s known for ripping some impressive Hammond organ chops, was one of the founders of the Greyboy Allstars, who were a major part of the funk-jazz revival in the ’90s. Walter took a break from the band at the end of the decade to start up his own group, the 20th Congress. These days, both are active touring and recording,
and ripping through James Brown grooves mixed with a strong jazz vibe. Walter has stated that he’s been on a hot writing streak lately, too. When something loose comes out, he sets it aside for the Greyboy Allstars, but when he comes up with something fully flushed out, that goes right into the 20th Congress repertoire. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/ door. 479-1854.
JAZZ/SWING
HOT CLUB PACIFIC In 1924, jazz guitar pioneer Django Reinhardt formed the Quintette du Hot Club de France, a group that played a key role in introducing gypsy jazz to audiences around the world. Since then, the title “hot club” has been used to connote a sound that encompasses styles including gypsy jazz and acoustic swing. Hot Club Pacific is a Monterey Bay-based outfit that has taken up Reinhardt’s cause to popularize the style, drawing from Benny Goodman, Count Basie, the Great American Songbook and, of course, Reinhardt himself. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Crow’s Nest, 2218 E Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $5. 476-4560.
FRIDAY 10/24 HIP HOP/ALTERNATIVE
GRIEVES
Benjamin Laub—a.k.a. rapper and producer Grieves—isn’t afraid to dip his creative pen into a variety of inkwells. Drawing on influences from classic jazz and blues to punk rock, Grieves makes the habit of combining genres as easy as breathing. His tracks represent a style of hip-hop that is refreshingly free of samples, and which includes guitars, keyboards and horns. Adding to the fun is the fact that Grieves is not tethered to the idea of simply rapping or singing on his songs—he does both, and all with the style and precision of someone who has been doing this all his life. He is touring in support of his latest project, Winter & the Wolves. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.

SATURDAY 10/25 ROCK
REQUIEM A few weeks ago, GT chatted with Requiem frontman Steven Juliano about the band’s recent signing to Cleopatra Records. Juliano expressed hope that wider distribution could help the band build more of a local scene for Warped Tour-style metal
and rock bands. On Saturday, Requiem, which was voted this year’s “Best Local Band” by GT readers, is celebrating the release of its debut album, The Unexplainable Truth, with a CD release party and concert at the Catalyst. If you'd like to see more of a scene for melodic hardcore music here in town, put on your black duds and head down to the Catalyst. Stellar Corpses open. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 423-1338.
BLUES
DANIEL CASTRO The blues isn’t particularly technical, but not everyone can actually play it right. Daniel Castro, who is originally from SoCal, then relocated to the SF bay in 1995, plays the music as though he’d spent his life in the dark, swampy, rural south. He swings, shuffles, and rips emotive solos in the same vein as B.B. King. Plus his singing, while often understated, has a profound rawness to it. He’s played West Coast clubs and festivals for years, making a name of himself with blues fans wherever he goes. He released his first album as the Daniel Castro Band in 1999
and remade the group in 2011 as a trio with bassist Johnny Yu and drummer David Perper. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. $10/adv, $12/door. 335-2800.
MONDAY 10/27
INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8. Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. $25-$70. 426.6966. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/ giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 24 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.
FOLK/ROCK
O’DEATH With this month’s release of their fourth studio album, Out of Hands We Go, o’death is back in fine form. A raw experience, the songs draw in a variety of unexpected sounds and vocal expressions to express the thoughts that are on singersongwriter Greg Jamie’s mind. “Roam” has a wild, almost unhinged rock sensibility that is appropriate given the song’s title, while “Wrong Time” is a drowsy, dreamy, yet Tom-Waitslike kooky bit of Appalachian folk that will give you shivers. Less an exercise in production than their last release, 2011’s Out of Hands produces an uncomfortable response from the listener, and that seems to be the point. BP INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

String Band dropped the “String Band” from their name several years back is major—and explains a lot about the band now. When they started plucking strings in 2002, bluegrass flowed through their veins. While they are still technically a string band, their influences have broadened to include the Beatles, Hank Williams and the Grateful Dead. They write hummable pop tunes that radiate joy and camaraderie. The group was conceived many years ago while the guys were on a High Sierra backpacking trip, and that same intimacy and harmony still shines through their music. AC
Under the direction of new maestro Daniel Stewart, the Santa Cruz County Symphony presents Dreams and Visions, a diverse program featuring guest soprano Ying Fang, a rising star of the opera world who made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 2013. Hailed by the New York Times as both “pure and moving,” Fang will perform Bach’s Wedding Cantata, a lovely, celebratory piece, and Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, a piece composed for voice and eight cellos. The evening’s program also includes Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, a big, exciting piece that is considered one of the pinnacles of romanticism. CAT JOHNSON

College comedy questions a post-racial America in ‘Dear White People’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
52
I
t’s a very good thing Justin Simien’s Dear White People was made—it gets in there where the dirt is. It’s been compared to Do the Right Thing, even though Simien doesn’t have much of the visual flamboyance and heat that characterizes Spike Lee. Dear White People seems closer to Animal House—not just because the real-life story that spurred this film took place at Dartmouth, home of the real Animal House, but also because of the stodgy way the administration opposes the rebel students in this film. (Has there ever been a school administration outside of a Bible college so up in arms about student radio broadcasts?) Like Terry Zwigoff in Art School Confidential, Simien uses classical music hits on the soundtrack, which lends what we’re seeing a high tone and irony. Play
Mozart and everything looks like a slice of cake. Tessa Thompson is Samantha, a film studies firebrand at lily-white Whitman College. She’s appointed herself as the corrector of the campus’ racial attitudes, in multimedia form—as a short film maker and a pamphleteer. She also broadcasts instruction to the white students who still deny they have a problem with black people. Meanwhile, we also meet the furtive Lionel (Tyler James Williams, excellent) a wary student with a sky-high Afro. He’s been writing for the school’s underground newspaper. He’s seduced to the Light Side, as it were, when some white students try to get him to write an exposé on racism for the mainstream student newspaper.
The pretty, flippant Coco (Teyonah Parris) is a vlogger (neologism shudder) who seeks Samantha’s popularity at all costs, even if it means taking an opposite approach: acting girly, self-deprecating and YouTube friendly. A TV producer is roaming the campus looking for source material for a show about being black in college. Coco may be what he’s looking for: her approach to matters of race is far more “camera ready” than what Samantha is telling the world. Samantha inadvertently gets into a student election with Troy (Brandon P. Bell) the breezy, affluent son of the dean of students (Dennis Haysbert). Surprisingly, she wins, and this encourages further John Vernon-style grumbling among the administration. And the division between the black
and white students leads to a violent confrontation. You can be in favor of Dear White People, and still notice that it’s a Harvard movie about Harvard problems. Because of the tight budget, Whitman is shot to look like an Everycollege. After about a halfhour, too many anxieties start to stack up, anxieties hardly universal to the college experiences: worries about getting tapped for the humor magazine, the aggravation of lazy, supercilious legacy students, and the problem of being placed in the correct dining house. The Twitterish notes in Samantha’s broadcasts sometimes offer little distinction between serious racism and etiquette breaches. Simien’s characters are all flawed, troubled, and almost all duplicitous. The Latin motto of Whitman is “Know Thyself,” and nobody does here. That’s a sign of mature filmmaking. At first we see Samantha as an avenger—she’s shot at a low angle, masked by the framing like the mysterious radio DJ in Vanishing Point. But when Samantha tells her audience “Dear White People: don’t dance” the line is supposed to be funny. It exemplifies this film’s tendency to double-dip: to decry prejudice while celebrating exceptionalism. If the Dear White People took all of her tips, they’d be frozen in Caucasian rigor. The mitigating factor is that Samantha’s self-righteousness is revealed as selfdoubt. At first she seems like Simien’s sock-puppet. Eventually, Samantha evolves into a character as messed up by the corrosive yet sticky qualities of racial politics as anyone else. Dear White People is a strong critique of pulp-TV trashiness, and the banal ho-and-pimp masquerade the white kids love. It wisely ridicules the assertion that America is post-racial after Obama’s twin victories. The film’s bravery and open ending are both credible, despite the frequent, televisionistic dead spots, and that woeful self-seriousness that always poxes student wit. You can hit the nail on the head a hundred times and still have a rickety structure. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE With Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Kyle Gallner and Teyonah Parris. Directed by Justin Simien. Rated R. 100 minutes.

The Spanish Godello grape, plus arancini, tender butter lettuce and pork schnitzel at Soif BY CHRISTINA WATERS
T
hose of us living in and around Santa Cruz know just how lucky we are to have a treasure trove of distinctive and unusual wines— Soif—in our midst. Turns out, so do the folks at OpenTable, who, for the third year in a row, voted Soif Wine Bar onto its Top 100 Wine Lists. Considering the size of our burgby-the-sea, that’s quite an honor. “It’s always nice to be recognized for doing a good deed,” says Soif owner Patrice Boyle. “Especially to be recognized by our most important critics, our customers who are both demanding and loving.” Giving
credit to her resident wine experts John Locke and Alyssa Twelker, Boyle added that one of the benefits of OpenTable is that it opens up Soif and its sister restaurant La Posta, “to a wide spectrum of diners who are adventurous eaters and drinkers.” Wine shop specialist Twelker notes that Soif’s savvy staff aims to provide a place for patrons to try wines that are outside of their previous experiences, “and maybe even a little out of their comfort zone.” Well, you can count me as one of those wine lovers who has enjoyed the journey of discovery afforded by Soif.
Just last week at Soif, I discovered yet more wonderful wines that make complete sense during the mercurial transition from summer to fall. Let me start with a piquant white wine made from the Spanish Godello grape, a member of the Verdelho family. From the wine house of Abad dom Bueno this lively wine arrived along with a tapas plate of delicate, melt-in-your-mouth arancini. (Race over to Soif and try this wine!) Chef Mark Denham has hit his stride and is applying a signature spin to the seasonally evolving menu. The crispy little stuffed rice and cheese balls were feather-light and exceptional,
especially with the Godello—with a lilting and mineral-driven bit of complexity, salty opening and a float of peaches and pepper at the finish. Refreshing to the max, this wine carried itself beautifully through a salad course of butter lettuces tossed with thin apple slices, walnuts and crème fraîche. The supple lettuces were generously dressed and by the last forkfuls the combination of juice from the apples and the tangy crème fraîche mimicked a sophisticated buttermilk dressing. Buttermilk on butter lettuce. But there was more. For mains, Angela and I split an order of a pork schnitzel entrée. The platter arrived with two thin, utterly crisp pork cutlets atop a gorgeous slaw of cabbages, apples, and perhaps fennel doused with Everett Family Farm apple cider. A brilliant combination of flavors and ideas that worked together, the dish also offered a few mounds of puréed parsnip—OK, not the first vegetable I might have worked with in my own kitchen but then that’s precisely why I go to creative dining rooms like Soif. The parsnip with its earthy sweetness played against the salty crunch of the schnitzel’s paper-thin golden crust. To accompany the last bites of the deliciously tender pork, I ordered a 2 oz. pour of my new-best-friend red wine from the Vaucluse region of southern France; a 2010 Domaine des Tours Rhônish creation of mostly Grenache laced with some Syrah, Cinsault, and Counoise (a grape I had not previously known about), that was instantly appealing. Rounded yet tough, tannic and romantic, it was the ideal bouquet of contrasts that make wines of the Vaucluse such charming rogues. And it loved the pork schnitzel! Two new wines, a great dinner—seriously, a seamless flow of flavors from start to finish— and another award in the welldeserved Soif collection. Autumn is getting off to a delicious start! Now on to Restaurant Week!

he 2012 Pinot that winemaker Vann Slatter produced was good, but the 2013 is even better. Not surprisingly, it has become a top seller at the winery. Made entirely from estate fruit and aged for a year on American oak, I think the 750 cases that Slatter made will not be around for very long. Deep cherry overtones and a spicy bouquet add to the voluptuous earthy flavors of this well-made Pinot 2013 ($40). I also detect more red fruit flavors and aromas—raspberries and strawberries, and perhaps a soupçon of ripe plum. Hunter Hill suggests pairing it with lamb, salmon and other rich foods, but the versatile food-friendly Pinot goes with a tremendous range of fare; everything from hearty roast beef and Yorkshire pudding to a variety plate of cheese and crackers. And let’s not forget chocolate. What could be more decadent than indulging in a glass or two of excellent Pinot and some really good chocolate? Get the chocolate and the Pinot this weekend, put your feet up, and let the world slide by. Vann’s wife Christine Slatter says the 2013 Pinot was released early, at the beginning of July, because they sold out of the 2012 Pinot. “It was a wonderful crop, beautiful intense fruit, and twice as much as we’ve ever had in a year,” Christine says. “Vann and his Pinot are a great pair,” she says, laughing. “He drinks it, he makes it, it’s the one he loves the most.” She breathes a sigh of
relief that the harvest of all their varietals is over. “All the fruit is in the barrels,” she says, happily. “We’re done!” Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery, 7099 Glen Haven Road, Soquel. 465-9294. hunterhillwines.com. Open weekends for tasting.

Recently, he was giving out a handy card loaded with wine facts and “did-you-knows.” Phil says “this little gem is guaranteed to impress your fellow wine lovers,” and he cites two examples: Some red grapes can be used to make a white wine; a standard glass of wine (four ounces) contains about 110 calories.

Back Porch Austin Kaye on why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his favorite time of year to be a chef BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS
I
How do you make the pork so tender and delicious that it melts in your mouth?
AUSTIN KAYE: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow cooked for anywhere from 8-12 hours, at around 250-300 degrees. Around that time, the bones pretty much fall out, and its soft and tender, and then when you reheat it it gets a little crispy. Where do you get your ingredients, and which ones are inspiring you lately?
We just started wings today. All the produce comes from the farmers market, the meat comes from as local as I can get it. This time of year is the best time of year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all the produce
possible at the end of summer, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got tomatoes, peppers, melons, sometimes it can even go into November. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very spoiled here to get produce that late. This is my favorite time to cook, because we have all of the ingredients possible.

They happen every 3-4 weeks, except for winter, I take a little break and pick them up in early spring. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always on Sundays, in Live Oak on my back porch â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically sign up [at the market] and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you know about them. We seat no more than 30, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re small, they sell out quickly. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like on your back porch?
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a modest backyard, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concrete and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grass. We do all the cooking in the kitchen in the house, and then outside is set up with two long tables. We have lights we string across the tables, so now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dusk in the middle of your meal. By the end it gets dark, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very nice ambiance as the night progresses. And I get to work and be at home with my family, which I love. Learn more at backporchsc.com

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SCORPIO SUN, NEW MOON ECLIPSE, MERCURY DIRECT The Sun enters Scorpio’s mysteries Thursday under a new moon and partial solar eclipse (something essential has come to an end, its purpose completed). In Scorpio we harbor secrets, are devoted to something deep, dark and hidden. Sometimes it’s ourselves. We can bring great suspect to our assessment of others. Scorpio is the scorpion, the serpent and the eagle—three levels of development. As the serpent we take shelter in our beliefs. Sometimes we bite (or sting). The eagle vanquishes old beliefs through its sharp intellect, soaring high in the air, seeking to understand through perspective. Understanding releases us from the bondage of fear. The eagle is like the mother soothing feelings of mistrust, offering protection. Knowledge does this, too. Scorpio is the sign of discipleship, the Nine Tests (points of crisis), preparing us through aspiration to study the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. Scorpio helps us understand the spiritual purpose
of sex. Mercury, star of Wisdom, is the spiritual ruler of Scorpio. In Scorpio we seek the ancient wisdom teachings (mysteries). We seek to be wise as serpents and learn to be as harmless as doves. A paradox. Friday is the United Nations’ 69th birthday—there’s a global party of making bread (not bombs) for peace at: facebook.com/ unitednationsbirthdaybakebreadforPEACE Saturday, Mercury turns stationary direct (17 Libra). However, we remain subtly under Mercury’s retrograde shadow till Nov. 10. Move forward carefully and slowly with new thinking, plans, agendas and important signings. Read fine print several times. Sunday, Mars enters Capricorn. We pull on our sturdy boots to climb the mountain of success (whatever success we are seeking). It’s almost Halloween, when the veils between worlds thin. A perfect Scorpio festival.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
A shift is occurring, a threshold almost crossed, new realities, work and responsibilities appear. You emerge from your foundations and face the Sun, hidden behind Scorpio waters. Although not a Scorpio, you and the sign of discipleship share the influence of Mars and Mercury. So you are in the same family. Both have work to do that’s transformative. The key is communication. Use it for goodwill, for knowledge and to dispense intelligence. Use it to uplift.
Some Libras are pondering marriage, commitment, past relationships. Some are meeting new unusual people. Some are tending to unresolved financial situations, money and financial issues from long ago. Release unkind work and/or friend relationships. A new world begins in the coming weeks and continues to unfold the next two and a half years. Use words that “give love a chance.”

OCTOBER 22-28, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
There seems to be no rest and each day provides new challenges. Sometimes your back hurts, sometimes your head. Don’t let your heart hurt even if things seem somewhat dreary—weather or finance-wise. Help arrives in the form of unusual events, especially as you continue your intentions for assisting all aspects and endeavors of humanity. We work with you in morning meditation.
60
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 For a while you were hidden and complex. Others understand you less and that’s good because you have important solitary work to do, part of which is new selfidentification. This happens yearly around Halloween. You drop into the dark waters to renew yourself and emerge only when comfort calls. Your communication for the next years becomes even more potent. For those who don’t understand, say you’re searching for Persephone.
GEMINI May22–June20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
The energies impel you to give expansive information, more praise of others and identifying your creativity. You bridge (the Antahkarana, Rainbow bridge between Spirit and matter, the building of which is Gemini’s purpose) here and there in various multi-faceted, multidimensional ways, opening the minds of others to see a new light, a new day, a new life ahead. Although you may not understand how, you are blessed.
Communication is the theme this month and next. Communication at, in and about work, and in groups. Through unusual experiences your mind has greatly expanded. Don’t allow any wound to insert itself between yourself and others. Healing would take time and tending. What’s the present wound you’re experiencing? Is it somewhat nebulous with uncertainty or piercing and sharp? Tend to it spiritually.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20 How is the focus of money occurring in your life? Are you tending to resources for yourself and/or others? It’s most important that you focus time and energy upon your self needs so you can be strengthened in all ways for the times to come. It may be your concerns have deepened for family and children. This will continue until your focus shifts toward how and what you create. Balance appears.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s not your birthday but Jupiter’s (heart of the sun) in Leo so it may as well be. Be aware that too much of everything may occur. Take turmeric (curcumin) daily if inflammation occurs. Garden in the early morning and evenings, at dawn and twilight. A new identity emerges through your creations. You may feel dramatic, exaggerated, and embellished, desire a more glamorous and stylish approach while also hiding away. We see you.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Communication, all levels and aspects, are important to understand at this time. Mercury rules communication and it’s moving through your house of finances and values. Mercury’s in Libra, meaning right thinking regarding resources, finances and in relationships. Observe these daily. Seek to know your true intentions. Use communication for goodness radiating outward.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Tend to your money carefully in the coming month(s). Purchase no non-essentials. Tend to debts immediately, paying more than minimum on credit cards. In groups (family, work, etc.) know that communication may be hidden, not understandable. Speak clearly. Ask for others to repeat themselves. You will be seen as intelligent, reliable, trustworthy and a source of important information.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You may be seeking love or closer connections with others. Making contact, true, kind and good, releases love. When making that type of contact we become magnetic. What we need—balance and right relations (which your heart longs for)—comes forth. Have the intention to love everything. Use no harsh or critical words. Have the intention to understand. Aquarius often bypasses understanding.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 There will be daily increased work and responsibilities. You’ll summon your abilities to maintain health and strength in order to meet all expectations. You may need to catch up on medical tests and doctors’ visits. Maintain vitamins and minerals. Do you also need new shoes? Relationships have been restrictive, money’s been perplexing, and change has been ceaseless. You’re seeking your true home.

WALTER WHEATFALL, 7-Year Customer, Santa Cruz
OU R 76 T H YEAR
Occupation: Sales Hobbies: Music, cycling, cooking/grilling/baking What do you folks like to cook? SIMONA: “I cook anything, really. But I am from the Czech Republic so I make a lot of Czech dishes. I use a variety of Shopper’s meats such as chicken, different cuts of pork, and bacon.” WALTER: “Simona makes the best chicken schnitzel! My specialty is burgers, but I also also make grilled chicken, baked chicken, fried chicken, and homemade French fries, plus I like baking apple pies. I always use three varieties of apples for my pies.” SIMONA: “I make a lot of salads and Shopper’s organic vegetables and fruits are always fresh, top quality, and not overpriced.”
Is “quality” high on your list? SIMONA: “Yes. It’s a key factor in why we shop here. There are other options in Santa Cruz, but we choose to shop Shopper’s. We come here maybe four times a week.” WALTER: “The quality is great! I don’t trust the meat from the chains. This is the only market where we buy our meat, seafood, and lunch meats. We prefer shopping local — money spent here stays here — plus almost everything we get at Shopper’s is locally produced.” SIMONA: “I like the marinated sundried tomato basil chicken breasts and their other marinated meats. Really good quality.”
You have kids — do you find Shopper’s to be a family-friendly market? SIMONA: “Our kids, Margo and Max, love to come shopping here with us. From the butchers to the checkers, they acknowledge our children and say ‘hi,’ so they feel included in the shopping experience. It does help that they can get chocolates from the butcher counter!” WALTER: “The service has always been great, very friendly and professional. I cannot remember having even one negative experience at Shopper’s Corner.” SIMONA: “Shopper’s Corner is a great little store. You’ll find everything you need at friendly prices.”
