ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of January 28 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

In 1979, Monty Python comedian John Cleese helped direct a four-night extravaganza, “The Secret Policeman’s Ball.” It was a benefit to raise money for the human rights organization Amnesty International. The musicians Sting, Bono, and Peter Gabriel later testified that the show was a key factor in igniting their social activism. I see the potential of a comparable stimulus in your near future, Aries. Imminent developments could amp up your passion for a good cause that transcends your immediate self-interests.

Hall-of-Fame basketball player Hakeem Olajuwon had a signature set of fancy moves that were collectively known as the Dream Shake. It consisted of numerous spins and fakes and moves that could be combined in various ways to outfox his opponents and score points. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to work on your equivalent of the Dream Shake, Libra. You're at the peak of your ability to figure out how to coordinate and synergize your several talents.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 In the film Kill Bill: Volume 1, Taurus actress Uma Thurman plays a martial artist who has exceptional skill at wielding a samurai sword. At one point, her swordmaker evaluates her reflexes by hurling a baseball in her direction. With a masterful swoop, she slices the ball in half before it reaches her. I suggest you seek out similar tests in the coming days, Taurus. Check up on the current status of your top skills. Are any of them rusty? Should you update them? Are they still of maximum practical use to you? Do whatever's necessary to ensure they are as strong and sharp as ever.

GEMINI May21–June20 French Impressionist painter Claude Monet loved to paint the rock formations near the beach at Étretrat, a village in Normandy. During the summer of 1886, he worked serially on six separate canvases, moving from one to another throughout his work day to capture the light and shadow as they changed with the weather and the position of the sun. He focused intently on one painting at a time. He didn't have a brush in each hand and one in his mouth, simultaneously applying paint to various canvases. His specific approach to multitasking would generate good results for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. (P.S. The other kind of multitasking— where you do several different things at the same time—will yield mostly mediocre results.)

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

6

In 1849, author Edgar Allen Poe died in his hometown of Baltimore. A century later, a mysterious admirer began a new tradition. Every Jan. 19, on the anniversary of Poe's birth, this cloaked visitor appeared at his grave in the early morning hours, and left behind three roses and a bottle of cognac. I invite you, Cancerian, to initiate a comparable ritual. Can you imagine paying periodic tribute to an important influence in your own life—someone who has given you much and touched you deeply? Don't do it for nostalgia's sake, but rather as a way to affirm that the gifts you've received from this evocative influence will continue to evolve within you. Keep them ever-fresh.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 "What happens to a dream deferred?" asked Langston Hughes in his poem "Harlem." "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore, and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over, like a syrupy sweet?" As your soul's cheerleader and coach, Leo, I hope you won't explore the answer to Hughes' questions. If you have a dream, don't defer it. If you have been deferring your dream, take at least one dramatic step to stop deferring it.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Virgo author John Creasey struggled in his early efforts at getting published. For a time he had to support himself with jobs as a salesman and clerk. Before his first book was published, he had gathered 743 rejection slips. Eventually, though, he broke through and achieved monumental success. He wrote more than 550 novels, several of which were made into movies. He won two prestigious awards and sold 80 million books. I'm not promising that your own frustrations will ultimately pave the way for a prodigious triumph like his. But in the coming months, I do expect significant progress toward a gritty accomplishment. For best results, work for your own satisfaction more than for the approval of others.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In 1837, Victoria became Queen of England following the death of her uncle, King William IV. She was 18 years old. Her first royal act was to move her bed out of the room she had long shared with her meddling, overbearing mother. I propose that you use this as one of your guiding metaphors in the immediate future. Even if your parents are saints, and even if you haven't lived with them for years, I suspect you would benefit by upgrading your independence from their influence. Are you still a bit inhibited by the nagging of their voices in your head? Does your desire to avoid hurting them thwart you from rising to a higher level of authority and authenticity? Be a good-natured rebel.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The crookedest street in the world is a one-way, block-long span of San Francisco's Lombard Street. It consists of eight hairpin turns down a very steep hill. The recommended top speed for a car is five miles per hour. So on the one hand, you've got to proceed with caution. On the other hand, the quaint, brickpaved road is lined with flower beds, and creeping along its wacky route is a whimsical amusement. I suspect you will soon encounter experiences that have metaphorical resemblances to Lombard Street, Sagittarius. In fact, I urge you to seek them out.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 In the baseball film “The Natural,” the hero Roy Hobbs has a special bat he calls "Wonderboy." Carved out of a tree that was split by a lightning bolt, it seems to give Hobbs an extraordinary skill at hitting a baseball. There's a similar theme at work in the Australian musical instrument known as the didgeridoo. It's created from a eucalyptus tree whose inner wood has been eaten away by termites. Both Wonderboy and the didgeridoo are the results of natural forces that could be seen as adverse but that are actually useful. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Capricorn? I'm guessing there is. If you have not yet discovered what it is, now is a good time to do so.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1753, Benjamin Franklin published helpful instructions on how to avoid being struck by lightning during stormy weather. Wear a lightning rod in your hat, he said, and attach it to a long, thin metal ribbon that trails behind you as you walk. In response to his article, a fashion fad erupted. Taking his advice, fancy ladies in Europe actually wore such hats. From a metaphorical perspective, it would make sense for you Aquarians to don similar headwear in the coming weeks. Bolts of inspiration will be arriving on a regular basis. To ensure you are able to integrate and use them—not just be titillated and agitated—you will have to be well-grounded.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 According to the Bible, Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Author David Foster Wallace added a caveat. "The truth will set you free," he wrote, "but not until it is finished with you." All this is apropos for the current phase of your journey, Pisces. By my estimation, you will soon discover an important truth that you have never before been ready to grasp. Once that magic transpires, however, you will have to wait a while until the truth is fully finished with you. Only then will it set you free. And I suspect that you will ultimately be grateful that it took its sweet time.

SELF ASSESSED Santa Cruz-born Melissa McConville at her company’s first Self Transformation Day, just a couple of months before the next She.Is.Beautiful Race. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Local company She.Is.Beautiful works to empower women with races and Self Transformation Day BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

T

he most surreal part of my weekend occurred around 2 p.m. last Saturday, when I found myself in a room with some 75 women, dancing to the song “Walking on Sunshine.” “See what happens when we do that?” shouts Dana Damara when the song ends, the breathless yoga instructor and woman responsible for making us dance in the first place. Hearts pumping, out of breath, we all feel what she’s talking about—joy. “You should be living in joy every day, make time for it!” she says. Damara is in the middle of a lecture on “showing up for your own life,” and she is one

of several charismatic, badass women leading us through the first-ever Self Transformation Day, put on by She. Is.Beautiful at Cabrillo’s Precision Wellness. “The event was really inspired by my passion to encourage women to truly be in their bodies, not just in their heads,” says Melissa McConville, 29, who founded She.Is.Beautiful in 2011. “I feel like we go through life so quickly, and we get so much information all the time that we get caught up in it so easily. Taking a day to just focus on ourselves is important.” Throughout the day we learn to eat healthier (and feed our kids better)

with Joy Smith of Joy’s Kitchen, who explains phytochemicals, superfoods and other sexy plan-ahead nutrition tactics. A woman next to me confesses that her oldest son is overweight and pre-diabetic, and always complains there is no food in the house, and Smith tells us how she asks her own son to “just hold” a packet of carrots when she picks him up from school—and sure enough, he always eats them. We learn smoothie recipes with a dose of Ayurvedic wisdom from Talya Lutzker of Talya’s Kitchen, and sweat through a morning workout with Jenny Schatzle of the Jenny Schatzle program—who later delivers

a juicy seminar on shedding our “toxic anchors”—from sugar and alcohol dependencies to being a “people pleaser.” It’s one of those “today is the first day of the rest of your life” days, and no one leaves uninspired to reach their healthiest and happiest potential. I, too, left walking on sunshine, and—among a few other personal resolutions—determined to run the 10K and 5K She.Is.Beautiful Race, which takes place on March 22 on West Cliff Drive. The event is now entering its fifth year, and growing fast—when McConville started the race in 2011, 500 ladies signed up. It’s already the second largest local race after the Wharf to Wharf, with 6,000 running last year. “I always saw my parents run, so I grew up around running, and I saw them coming back from their runs always feeling so good, and they always had much more energy than when they left,” says McConville, who grew up in Santa Cruz. But it was watching her mother in particular that made her decide to try running as a teenager. “The connection that she had with her body just seemed so different than my friends’ moms; she was just really confident, and she took really good care of her body. But not in the way that she was on a diet or worried about it. It was like a tool for her, not an image.” Wanting to share the empowering strength of running, McConville connected with the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center (WAWC), and over the past four years She.Is.Beautiful has donated $20,000 to the center, which helps women in times of crisis, including domestic violence. For the second year in a row, the WAWC has started a training team with 19 participants, with Fleet Feet in Aptos donating a new pair of running shoes to each. “As the race progressed, I’ve realized that a lot of the women that come to the race, whether they are involved with WAWC or not, everyone is struggling with something. It’s just so amazing to see all these women come out, they’re just so empowered that day,” says McConville. “I think they walk away stronger and more inspired whether or not it was their best race ever or their first time putting on their race shoes.”

Barring Improvement Recent inmate death reignites concerns about county jail system BY MATTHEW RENDA AND ARDY RAGHIAN

W

hen a Watsonville woman died of cardiac arrhythmia in early November in Santa Cruz County Main Jail, people took notice. The county jail system had already found itself at the center of controversy when the county Grand Jury released a report in May of last year criticizing the protocol and conditions that surrounded five inmate deaths. Criticism intensified when Sharyon Gibbs, a 65-year-old woman who had heart disease, was found dead in her cell—bringing the total jail deaths

to six in two-and-a-half years. Santa Cruz County Sheriff Jim Hart, who has been on the job for less than a month, says his department has already made changes to improve conditions, and will continue to explore ways to foster a safe environment. “I don’t see any pattern to the six deaths we’ve had at the jail since 2012,” says Hart, who believes each case should be assessed individually. “We take each death seriously, we examine officer conduct, medical conduct, level of service according to our quality assurance program.” Hart, whose department oversees

both Santa Cruz County Main Jail and the Rountree Facility in Watsonville, says that despite the assertions of the Grand Jury, the county is not a total statistical aberration. According to Hart, Fresno County witnessed 23 in-custody deaths over the same time frame, Los Angeles had 27, Shasta County, which has 90,000 fewer people, had four, and Sonoma County had six. Still, community groups and at least one defense lawyer assert the changes have been insufficient, and the jail remains overcrowded, with a lack of appropriate medical services. “The jail is overcrowded, >15

There isn’t any “there” there, which makes it hard to zero in on where Bonny Doon starts and ends. Northwest of Santa Cruz, inland and northeast of Davenport, west of Felton—but without a post office, city hall, or even a general store, you can’t tell when you’ve arrived. Bonny Doon is home to about 3,000 residents (with a few squatters), plus two fire stations, a school, which also serves as a community center, and a church, where everybody votes. Many of these residents enjoy Bonny Doon exactly as it is, and reject any attempts to develop or commercialize their rural way of life. Being opposed to change is probably one of the few things on which independentminded Dooners actually agree. And their community involvement and dedication makes Bonny Doon a frequent topic on my radio program, Universal Grapevine. There isn’t even agreement on the origin or spelling of the community’s name, or who named it. According to author Donald Clark in his excellently researched book “Santa Cruz County Place Names,” it’s been spelled “Bonny Doon,” “Bonney Doon,” and, with a nod to Scotland, “Bonnie Doon.” I made Bonny Doon my home from 1986 to 1996, and, with my then-“significant other,” built a house up there near the airport. Bonny Doon has two local monthly newsletters. One is The Battle Mountain News, now publishing it’s 401st edition. Morgan Rankin started it in 1976 and recently told me it was “a way of getting Bonny Dooners together.” The other monthly is The Highlander, which is the official organ of the Rural Bonny Doon Association (RBDA). I was editor of the Highlander for quite a few years. The RBDA’s motto/slogan/driving/uniting force is “Keep Bonny Doon Rural.” And in many ways that slogan is at the heart of Bonny Doon's character and always has been. Although the area has a lot of horse lovers, you won’t see the free-ranging cows, pigs, goats, chickens, or rustic outbuildings you’d expect in an area you might think of as “rural.” What you will find is that most homes within Bonny Doon’s 20 square miles are built on a legal zoning minimum of two or three acres, per county zoning requirements … and that’s enough to make it, sort of, rural. Bonny Doon had—and still has— >16

NEWS JAIL <13 it’s strapped for funds and it has an outside medical provider that does not do the most thorough job,” says Santa Cruz-based defense attorney Jonathan Gettleman. Gettleman is representing a prisoner who says he was forcibly run into a metal bunk by an angry guard, leaving his head cut up and bloody. The prisoner chooses to remain anonymous for legal reasons, but he tells GT he went for days without follow-up medical care, and eventually had an infection so bad that his head swelled up. He also had to have a sizable paint chip removed from the wound that was hastily stapled shut before it receded. “My head swelled up so bad and I asked them to go to a doctor multiple times, but they say it was not excessive enough for medical attention,” the inmate told GT at the Rountree men’s facility, which is slated for a $25 million expansion. Gettleman says he believed the incident proves the widespread cultural problems inside the jail, which he says stem from two primary factors. First, he says, the jail is overcrowded, causing both prisoners and corrections officers to become surly, and secondly, prisoners don’t receive appropriate medical attention.

“This situation of overcrowding makes everything tough,” says Gettleman, who, with his client, is considering legal action. “It makes everyone hostile toward each other, because people are fighting over the most minor pieces of space. It turns the place into a pressure cooker.” Hart acknowledges there is an overcrowding problem at the two main jail facilities in the county, and it has forced jail officials to think critically about who they hold onsite and who they place under probation or parole. “Our main jail is at about 125 percent of capacity,” he says. “It’s been a challenge. It makes us really examine who we hold and why, and I think that’s a good thing.” Some concerns from Gettleman and certain activists rest with the county’s medical provider, California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG), which assumes responsibilities for all duties relating to inmate health, including providing doctors, dispensing medication and performing routine check-ups. CFMG has been named in several lawsuits filed in federal court, including one filed on Dec. 16, 2014 on behalf of Jacob Parenty, a 33-year-old man who died in Monterey County Jail in January of last year. The medical provider, which did not return calls

seeking comment, is also a defendant in similar lawsuits in both Lake County and Humboldt County. Hart says the county contracted with a medical provider because when the county staffed the medical positions, it was difficult to find doctors and nurses willing to work in a jail environment. “CFMG provides a level of care to industry standards,” says Hart, who was not in office when the contract was signed. Santa Cruz County’s contract with CFMG began in September 2012 with a cost of $2.8 million. The most recent contract costs $3.8 million, and will expire in June 2015. The Montereybased company, founded by current CEO Taylor Fithian, contracts to provide similar services to about 65 other correctional facilities in California, in 27 different counties. Because of perceived problems with CFMG, Sin Barras, a community organization opposed to the “prison industrial complex,” has asked Santa Cruz County to end its contract with the private subcontractor in its list of demands. Such a change is unlikely, according to County Supervisor John Leopold, who says he hasn’t seen any problems with the contractor. Sin Barras coordinated >18

SLEEP ON IT Two weeks ago, Santa Cruz City Council authorized local law enforcement to issue “stayaway orders” to people caught repeatedly violating municipal codes, such as drug use and illegal camping. Rabbi Philip Posner says the change targets many local homeless individuals, leaving them unable to find alternative means of shelter. “For them to pass such an ordinance and then to not provide any healthy alternative in parks is just totally unethical and unacceptable,” says Rabbi Posner, whose father happens to

be City Councilmember Micah Posner—the one who cast the lone dissenting vote against the new stay-away rules. Rabbi Posner has been circulating a “Camp of Last Resort” petition, which suggests a trial period during which downtown parks would remain open as sleeping areas for anyone who needs one. No tents, no cookware, no daytime bunking, and no substance use—it’s a bare minimum approach, as the name suggests. But with nowhere else to go, Posner says, at least it can provide a space to sleep. To avoid illegal behavior, the

proposal outlines mandatory supervision by a police officer and social worker, as well as a possible sign-out sheet to keep track of people. As of last Friday, Posner says the petition had around 600 signatures, and next week supporters will host a community meeting at the Louden Nelson Community Center in hopes of opening the conversation to locals and business owners. Posner says he’s fully aware that many Santa Cruzans might react strongly to having folks occupy parks near their homes at night, but he also wants people to think about human dignity.

“Parks are for people and ‘people’ includes homeless people,” he says. So, where does Councilmember Posner stand on all this? “My dad has a knack for getting to the heart of a problem,” he tells GT via email. “In this case, his proposal is an attempt to get at the heart of our communal dilemma: where do we expect homeless people to sleep? This is a critical conversation.” INFO: Community Meeting 7 p.m., Feb. 4, Louden Nelson Community Center, 301 Center St., Santa Cruz. 420-6177. ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

DOON FROM THE START <13

more than a few notables. Robert Heinlein, author of novels like “Starship Troopers,” “Stranger in A Strange Land,” and “The Green Hills of Earth,” lived there from 1967 to 1987. He was one of my customers when I worked at Eastside Hardware in 1970. He told me about his Coast Guard Days on Alameda Island and about his special “shrouded” typewriter and invited me up for a visit, but I put it off too long. You can still see his house (although not his typewriter) on the HeinleinSociety.org online photo tour. Award-winning nature photographer of National Geographic fame, Frans Lanting, and his wife Chris Eckstrom live in the southwestern reaches of that elusive Bonny Doon territory. One morning years ago, I ran into the airport manager’s wife at our mailbox center. She couldn’t wait to tell me that John Travolta had flown into the Bonny Doon Airport the day before and tried to buy it. She said her husband had no idea who he was, but he told Travolta the 2,400-foot runway couldn’t be lengthened to fit his plane. Probably Bonny Doon’s biggest commercial

secret is the Lockheed Martin Missile Fuel and Rocket testing facility hidden behind locked gates at the northern dead end of the nearly legendary Empire Grade Road. I asked former 3rd district supervisor Gary Patton, who represented for his Bonny Doon for 20 years, for his Lockheed memories. “The most frequent comment, or complaint, was the speeding flotillas of Lockheed workers, running down Empire Grade at what the residents deemed were excessive speeds and unusual hours,” Patton says via email. “But then there were the rocket firings, unexplained blasts, and mysterious trucks. Those occasioned comments (and concern) as well. Protests weren't frequent, as I am remembering it, but there were some, and many peace-loving county residents really didn't think that a secret, closed explosives factory, located in the redwoods, was an attractive neighbor. The anti-war movement came to Empire Grade on at least a couple of occasions, but the facility was never moved, nor did Lockheed react too much.” Like UCSC today, Lockheed had its influence on the Santa Cruz Community.

Lockheed executive Vernon Smith was Mayor of Santa Cruz from 1973 to 1974. Dooners have often done battle with anyone seeking to commercialize. One such skirmish involved a downtown Santa Cruz business owner who hoped to turn an existing business building and parking lot—once a real estate office—into a general store and post office. He’d have just one truck come up in the morning and return in the afternoon with all the orders placed during the day. It would have saved hundreds of miles of driving, and offer same-day service. No deal. Community members from the Rural Bonny Doon Association rejected it completely. I asked Ted Benhari, editor of The Rural Bonny Doon Association’s Highlander newsletter and longtime RBDA board member, what the really hot land-use issues in Bonny Doon are these days. Benhari says somebody wants to start an event center to rent out to weddings, which would bring cars, noise and still more commercialism, all to an area zoned as residential. There’s also the rapidly growing cannabis cultivation, which is sprouting on plots

all over Bonny Doon. Reports of armed guards and thieves roaming about, plus the now-familiar resin-y odor, has many residents in fear. There’s the very real possibility of the creation of the new Santa Cruz Redwoods National Monument Park, which would expose the revered redwoods and the surrounding area to thousands more tourists who might not respect the territory. There are a few more issues too, and there always will be. Benhari says that average attendance at monthly RBDA meetings is around 65. That’s an indication of how seriously those residents take their land-use issues and care about keeping Bonny Doon rural. Bonny Doon is, above all, a community. Well, maybe a huge sort of village. It’s a collection of folks who like living at least a half hour away from towns and cities, and even though they enjoy their hard-won privacy will band together quickly to keep their community as close as possible to their dream- like ideal. Wikipedia has one definition of community as “A group of interdependent organisms inhabiting the same region and interacting with each other”. That’ll work, but don’t expect the Bonny Dooners to agree.

a “Cages Kill” march on Saturday, Jan. 24, in downtown Santa Cruz, in an attempt to bring attention to the six recent deaths, but also to the “broader context of overcrowding and lack of healthcare inside California jails and prisons,” according to a Sin Barras statement. In an attempt to curb crowding, the Sheriff’s department introduced a Custody Alternatives Program (CAP), through which an increasing number of low-level offenders are released from jail and put on devices that track their whereabouts. The daily average of persons on the electronic monitoring program is 53. Another 196 participate in a work-release program on a daily basis. Leopold says about 500 people in total have participated in CAP, adding that the program established a precedent that other law enforcement agencies in the state have begun to explore. Since the advent of the program, five people have cut their devices, but none of them went on to commit serious crimes, Hart says. Hart says another element will be the recently passed Proposition 47, which will reduce the severity of 26 crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, including personal possession and use of most illicit drugs. Although law enforcement worries this will create a revolving door for criminals, Hart says the law should “take the tire pressure out of the jail system.” Hart says jail officials have also made a couple of major changes— including the introduction of a correctional officer dedicated to quality assurance in order to ensure the protocols in place are followed. “We took from the report what we thought would be beneficial to the system and in some cases, financially we just can’t,” Hart says. It’s too early to say, though, if more funding will be in the correctional department’s future. “We spend about $20 million [per year] on corrections,” Leopold says. “We try to spend every dollar wisely. We are constantly looking for ways to spend the money as wisely as possible. We’ll take a look at allocations and see if the investments we’ve made in the jail provide enough resources.”

FEELING TRASHED Craig Pearson, superintendent of Santa Cruz's Resource Recovery Facility, gets frustrated when food or styrofoam gets mixed into the recycling and contaminates it, ruining its value.

<21 2. There’s plenty to see at the recycling center that workers wish they could unsee. Among the most disturbing things workers have seen on the line: Hypodermic needles, adult toys, blood-splattered rags, a mannequin that looked like a dead body, Halloween toys that looked like human hands and feet, explosives and ammunition that went off, and big blocks of concrete. Someone once dropped off a baby grey whale. Workers had to bury it. But the scariest thing garbage truck workers see is people who’ve been sleeping in dumpsters in cold weather—and scare the bejeezus out of collectors when they stand up. The city now sends fliers to homeless shelters saying “Don’t Sleep in the Dumpsters! It could be a deadly decision.” It explains that drivers can’t hear or see what is going into the trucks, and everything in the truck gets compacted. 3. Santa Cruz’s methods for dealing with garbage have come a long, long way. In 1926, the city trucked trash out

to the canyon on Dimeo Lane and burned it. Later, they dug holes and filled them with garbage of all kinds. The city started recycling on Labor Day, 1987, by collecting curbside nylon bags for glass, tin cans and aluminum and asking residents to wrap paper up in a paper bag tied with string. Two or three years later cardboard was added, and in 1992, so was plastic. In 1997, 12,000 homes were given 68-gallon wheeled carts that held paper on one side and mixed containers on the other. In 2006, the city removed the dividers from home recycling carts, in an effort to encourage more recycling, and the work of separating was moved to the recycling center. The idea being that more people will recycle if they don’t have to think about what goes where.

4. And yet, Santa Cruz County’s garbage system is like a map of Eastern Europe. There are several companies with different rules. Watsonville picks up its own garbage and brings it to

6. It’s like a wildlife preserve in there, sort of. At certain times of the year, thousands of seagulls congregate at the site, and then suddenly, without notice, they all launch into the air. They’ve spotted what you can barely see: golden eagles hunting them. Workers regularly see the eagles dive and dramatically snatch a gull in its beak. Surrounded on three sides by Wilder Ranch State Park, the landfill is an animal lover’s dream. Pumas also hang out to hunt. Because of federal regulations, Pearson has to set off explosives to keep the gulls away from the site. 7. Your trash makes cash for the city. Recycling makes for a sustainable community in that it provides revenue for the city to offset the costs of picking up trash and removing toxic waste and tires. Right now, a work slowdown at West Coast seaports is wreaking havoc on prices. Santa Cruz’s

Resource Recovery Center has bundles and bundles of paper it can’t get shipped. On the day I visited, you could see one of the stalled container ships off the coast from the landfill site. Gary Wilens spends his days negotiating prices for the recyclables. Glass that is sorted into containers of clear, brown and green can get $200 a ton. Broken and unsorted glass fetches $138 a ton. Prices fluctuate: cardboard was $130 a ton in June, but it’s now $115. Mixed paper was $80 a ton in November, and $102 in June. Scrap metal was $160 a ton in November, and now is $120. Wilens says the fluctuations are based on the demand for new products that will be made from the old goods. Glass is melted into more glass; plastic is made into pellets that can be made into more plastic; paper begets more paper. On the minus side, the city pays $150 a ton to get rid of tires. A couple of years ago, Santa Cruz had its best year, selling $2.1 million of recyclables, but it usually brings in $1.5 to$1.8 million a year.

Pearson also sees many intrusions by plastic makers to sell their products where they aren’t really needed. For some reason, cat food cans are often lined with plastic, which decreases their recycling value. Despite the objections of pet owners, who fear the chemicals in the plastic, companies still sell them that way. 9. Wax is wack. If your cardboard or paper is covered in a wax coating, don’t bother recycling it, because it cannot be recycled. Trash it. The same goes for wax-coated paper plates, plastic utensils and milk cartons.

Bonus: The City Council is considering raising your garbage rates. Right now you pay $16.16 a month for a 20-gallon garbage bin and two 64-gallon containers for recycling and green waste. It costs $26.05 for a 32-gallon garbage container, $55.84 for a 64-gallon, and $89.35 for a 95-gallon. If the council approves the decision, costs will rise over the next three years to $22.36, $36.04, $77.25 and $123.60. You can see the proposal at cityofsantacruz. com. The department says the money will go toward expanding the current landfill, which is expected to last 47 more years, replacing older trucks, and pension and benefit costs for 86 employees. There hasn’t been a price increase since 2009.

10. If you lose a wedding ring or a winning lottery ticket in a bin, there’s a chance it can be found. This is not publicized much, but if you realize your loss quickly—like that day—you may be able to recover it. Pearson recalls two extraordinary incidents: One man’s wife accidentally threw away an Amazon box containing a sweatshirt he had bought her for Christmas. He drove up to the center and the box was found on the sorting line. The man was thrilled and bought the staff a couple of boxes of donuts. But that’s nothing compared to the jeweler who accidentally left a package of diamonds in the bottom of a Fed Ex package. It was found before the truck had finished dumping the load. “I’ve had others where they called up and said they threw away something a couple of days ago, but I said, ‘No way,’� says Pearson. “If it’s a couple of days or the next day, there’s no way to isolate it once it gets mixed up with all the other stuff. If we know the truck, we can get to it.�

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON Las Cafeteras perform their updated take on the Son Jarocho tradition on Friday, Jan. 30, at the Mello Center in Watsonville.

Stomp Making Sense

T

he members of Las Cafeteras are featured in the 2008 Oscar-nominated documentary The Garden, about Los Angeles activists attempting to save the South Central Community Garden from bulldozers— but don’t look for them on the soundtrack. “We’re in there being beaten by cops,” says Hector Flores, a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist for the seven-piece East L.A. group, who will play a benefit for the Pajaro Valley Unified School District College Bound Scholarship Fund at the Mello Center on Friday, Jan. 30. That was the year Las Cafeteras formed—straight outta Eastside Café,

the L.A. “autonomous community space” which inspired their name— and at the time they were learning to play mostly straight-up Son Jarocho, traditional music from Veracruz, Mexico. Besides inspiring them as a political cause, their involvement with the South Central Farm Movement documented in The Garden turned out to be musically formative for the band, as well, thanks to Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de la Rocha. In support of the community garden, de la Rocha performed with Los Cojolites, a traditional group from Veracruz. The minds of Las Cafeteras were officially blown. “We see Zach de la Rocha rapping over Son Jarocho, and he’s changing

our world,” says Flores, the awe still in his voice. Suddenly, the band was faced with a choice. “We were playing this traditional music, but we grew up listening to, like, riot grrrl music, and a lot of us went to hip-hop and listened to Tupac and Warren G,” remembers Flores. “We had to decide if we were going to mimic tradition, or create our own.” Hearing their music now, it’s obvious which they chose. They call it “Afro-Mexican urban folk,” but it’s as radical in form as in political content. Their instruments include the jawbone of a donkey, the Carribbean marimbal (traditional to Son Jarocho, but also used in Cuban and Dominican

Las Cafeteras’ physical, exuberant sound and storytelling brings a traditional style into the 21st century BY STEVE PALOPOLI

music), and a wooden platform called a tarima on which members do some extremely percussive dance steps. Their music has a youthful exuberance and a unique, 21st-century take on a traditional sound, with (mostly Spanish) Spanglish lyrics. Most people think they’ve never heard Son Jarocho, but actually they have. The most famous song to come out of the tradition is “La Bamba,” best known as a very, very old folk song sung at weddings in Veracruz until Richie Valens made it a rock hit in 1958. Las Cafeteras do an updated version of the song, “La Bamba Rebelde,” which in the son tradition features reworked, personalized lyrics by the band referencing the Zapatistas, racist laws in Arizona, Chicano pride, and more. “It survives, this song,” says Flores. “For us, it’s an anthem. We didn’t want to sing the ‘La Bamba’ of the past. We wanted to sing the ‘La Bamba’ of the future. We’re ‘La Bamba.’ We’ve survived.” The band’s members were activists before they were musicians, but they see their music not as political (as it is usually labeled) but as based in telling true stories—their own stories, their families’ stories, their friends’ stories, the stories of the Chicano movement. “We don’t say we’re political. We say we’re a real band,” says Flores. “My mom came across the river when she was 15. That’s not a political story. That’s my mom’s story.” The band really doesn’t care what other people say about them. They never expected audiences to respond the way they have. They never expected their debut album, 2012’s It’s Time, to be noticed (and praised) by NPR and the BBC. They have simply been building what Flores calls a “culture of yes” in which they give each other permission to express themselves and experiment. “We were never supposed to be here. We’re the band that never wanted to be a band,” says Flores. “We come with this DIY veracity and punk ethos, creating something out of nothing.”

efore there was Sex and the City, there was Tales of the City, Armistead Maupin’s raucous celebration of life in San Francisco, where everything is worth a try, and Carrie Bradshaw’s addiction to five-inch heels translates best among drag queens. For almost 40 years, this groundbreaking, exuberant series of novels has shepherded us through changing notions of gender, class, race, sexuality, and freedom. It’s among the first books to deal with the rising AIDS epidemic. More than that, it has allowed us to spend time with the charmingly complicated and often wildly inappropriate denizens of 28 Barbary

Lane, that glorious, infamous apartment complex where Mary Ann Singleton, newly arrived from Cleveland, Ohio, first sets down her bags and decides to stay. How could she not? Her eccentric landlady, Anna Madrigal, as well as her fellow tenants, all promise the unfolding of life in every direction, and they’ve delivered ever since. Tales began as a newspaper serial that appeared in regular installments in the San Francisco Chronicle in the mid-’70s. In that format, it drew upon current events as well as reader feedback to create a fluid sense of life in the city. Maupin carried this realism to the resulting novels and combined it with a keen wit,

crackling dialogue, and innate sense of character to explore the outskirts of the human condition. What emerged over the course of nine books (and an acclaimed television mini-series, musical, and radio show) was a glittering patchwork quilt of sex, drugs, friendship, family, love and loss. Can camp and gravitas co-exist in the same body of work? Hand in hand, it turns out. Maupin has written a feminist, humanist, ongoing soap opera for the masses, and this is perhaps his greatest gift to his readers: to make the unusual usual, or better still, essential, over time. “One of the things that I saw different about what I was doing was that I was

allowing a little air into the situation by actually placing gay people in the context of the world at large. It felt revolutionary,” Maupin says. He is appearing at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Thursday, Jan. 29 for the final book in the series: “The Days of Anna Madrigal.” Fittingly, we spend it with the woman who started it all. Time marches on, even in fiction, and Anna Madrigal—pot-dealing, transgendered grande dame, and one-time landlady of 28 Barbary Lane—is 92. Spirited but fragile, and ready to “leave like a lady,” she’s still living in San Francisco, where real estate is now sky high, hipsters haunt the coffee shops, and Google buses troll the Embarcadero. As we join this chapter of her story, most of her “logical family,” is headed for Burning Man in the Nevada desert, but one RV will take her to a different Nevada location: Winnemucca, or more specifically, the lonely road just outside of town, where Anna spent her depression-era boyhood, and ran away at the age of 16 from the whorehouse he called home. It’s there, in the dusty quiet of her past, where a lifetime of secrets and unfinished business still waits for her, even now, to set things right. Countless fans have walked the streets of San Francisco, seeking out the footsteps of Mary Ann, Mona, Michael, Anna, and other beloved characters from Tales of the City. You can even ‘tour the tales’ by downloading a map from tourofthetales.com. People show up at Maupin’s readings all the time, and tell him how they came out because of Michael, took a risk because of Mary Ann, or honored a loved one’s wish to be buried with his books. “It’s extremely gratifying and humbling,” he says. “There’s nothing one can say about it that doesn’t sound pompous.” His most substantive character may be San Francisco itself—flawed, celebrated, ever-changing—but perhaps it’s less the place on a map than a state of mind: somewhere to pause while we can, express who we are, and share common ground. “The great thing about 28 Barbary Lane,” says Maupin, “is that it gives the illusion there is a permanence somewhere. But, you see, our job is to embrace the impermanence.”

What is Lee’s recipe for success? Start with a world-class set list and gear tweaked for twang. Pepper the mix with stunning vocals, gorgeous arrangements of threepart harmonies by a mature and sensitive band. Sauté all of this on the stage of your choice with a seasoned maestro entertainer who is full of joy. Great music is penned with specific intention. Songs tell a tale, musically, lyrically and texturally, and great performers are keenly sensitive to these elements. Lee has an overarching understanding of musicological context and the purpose that each song aims to achieve, from the import and feel of its story to the mood of the melody and the visceral implications of its groove. He can turn on a dime from country to rockabilly, boogie, blues and more, with equal prowess and reserve—much like the master painter knows when the final stroke has been applied to the masterpiece, and it is time to put the brush down. The afterglow of an Albert Lee show is unlike that of other guitar hero concerts. It is more akin to the feeling that swells after a provocative film or play. It is an experience that leaves you with a series of time-released epiphanies long after Lee has moseyed on down the road to the next town.

But Lee is more than just a guitar hero of country music. He is a disarmingly humble spirit revered by peers and fans as a nonpareil and living legend. This former Everly Brother is a two-time Grammy winner, composer, musical director, multi-instrumentalist, crooner and crossover artist who sports an impressive repertoire that runs the gamut of musical styles. In addition to releasing more than 35 of his own recordings, highlights of his career include working with Emmy Lou Harris, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton, Eric Clapton, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, Bo Diddley, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, Bill Wyman, Jimmy Page, Jon Lord and Steve Morse, to name only a few. Lee even played himself in the movie Return of Spinal Tap. There wasn’t much time between the woodshed and the stage as Lee honed his chops, leaving home at age 16 to embrace music as a full-time career. Now, after 55 years on the road, he is as fresh as ever—it’s as evident in the twinkle of his eye as it is in the flash of his fingers.

HEART OF HARPS Mikaela Davis comes to the Crepe Place on Thursday, Jan. 29.

Groove is in the Harp

Covers of Sufjan Stevens and Elliot Smith have exposed the world to Mikaela Davis’ unique harp style BY CAT JOHNSON

W

hen an 8-year-old Mikaela Davis and her schoolmates in Rochester, New York, were invited to choose from an array of musical instruments, Davis was initially tempted to pick up a viola or cello. But the instant they brought out a harp, she knew it was the instrument for her. “They showed harp last,” she says, “and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I need to play that instrument.’” Her grandmother had recently passed away, which helped her figure out where to play it. “In my mom’s living room, there’s a skylight,” Davis explains. “I

remember going home and telling my mom, ‘I want to play harp, and I want to put it here so Oma can hear me and watch me through the skylight.” Now a graduate of the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, New York, Davis is an award-winning harpist and vocalist breaking the mold of what the instrument can or should do. After years of studying classical harp with Grace Wong, principal harpist of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Davis started writing her own harp music, which is best described as haunting, lovely indie-pop. Rooted deeply in her classical training, Davis’ music is

nuanced and intricate in a way that most pop music isn’t. She acknowledges that her training plays a huge role in her writing style and lists classical composers Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy as key musical influences. But she says that most of her own songs come from “just doodling” on the harp—playing around with different melodies and rhythms. It was during one of these doodling sessions that Davis created a video that launched her into the public eye. She was recording her debut album with producer Brian Moore at Redbooth Recording Studio in Rochester, New York, when, during a

break, she started playing the Sufjan Stevens’ song “Casimir Pulaski Day.” Moore loved what he heard and suggested they make a video for YouTube. They set up the camera and recorded Davis playing. A few days later, Davis uploaded it then went to bed. The next morning she got a text from Moore saying the video got 15,000 views overnight. “I wasn’t expecting anything,” Davis says. “I wasn’t even expecting to put it up on YouTube. I was just playing that song while we were waiting for something.” At this point, the video has more than 150,000 views. Another cover, of Elliot Smith’s “Twilight,” has more than 100,000 views. A big fan of both of these artists, Davis admits that she was obsessed with them at the time she learned their songs. It was when she was introduced to indie harpist extraordinaire Joanna Newsom, however, that the idea of making a career playing the music she loved became real. “I thought, if she can do it, I can do it,” says Davis, who gets compared to Newsom all the time. “I love her music and her lyrics are beautiful poetry,” she says, but we have a very, very different sound.” When Davis plays with a band, it’s a trio comprising Cian McCarthy on keyboards, sitar and guitar, and Alex Coté on drums and bells. For her performance at the Crepe Place, Davis will play solo, with just her, her harp, and several effects pedals. While Davis’ self-titled debut album was an organic indie-folk offering, her latest, an EP titled Fortune Teller, takes off into psychedelic, experimental territory. She credits the shift to a Juno keyboard that McCarthy brought to rehearsals. With it, the band was able to make lots of “cool and funky space noises,” which inspired Davis to delve further into a psych-rock sound. The band experimented more and Davis started running her harp through a variety of guitar pedals, which launched her music into another realm. “I got really into doing psychedelic things,” she says. “After that, it just kind of went all over the place.” Mikaela Davis will perform at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

Elementary Watson

After leaving Old Crow Medicine Show, Willie Watson gets back to a rawer, simplified sound on his solo debut BY AARON CARNES

P

art of the appeal of upstate New York string ensemble Old Crow Medicine Show was that not only were they young musicians playing old timey folk-bluegrass-Americana, but also that they did it with genuine enthusiasm, fresh energy and a soft spot for traditions—on their early records you could literally hear the strings plucking right along with the notes of the tunes. Founding member Willie Watson liked the rawness of the group’s early recordings, particularly the way they recorded—all gathered in a room around the microphone. They were brilliantly captured by

producer Dave Rawlings. As popular as old folk revival tunes have gotten, there was barely a small national audience for the music in the ’90s when they started. So it was a bit of a surprise to the group in the mid-2000s when they were drawing big crowds, and getting press with major non-country publications. More success eventually meant more polish and production, a direction Watson didn’t want to go in. He quit in 2011. “It was heading somewhere that I wasn’t interested in. I don’t even know what the approach was. There was talk about what the band was supposed to do next, and what its face would look like, what category we wanted to be

sold at in record stores,” Watson says. “I didn’t have a plan. I never thought I’d be a solo artist. I didn’t know what it would be.” It took nearly four years, but Watson released his debut solo record, Folk Singer, Vol 1, this past May, and though the music is quite different than anything Old Crow has done, it does hail back to the early days in one important manner: the raw sound of record, which Watson got by re-enlisting Rawlings as producer. His solo music stays within the Americana-old-timey category, but rather than inspiring a jamboree, the tunes are much more intimate and down-tempo. It’s just Watson singing

and strumming his acoustic guitar (or plucking his banjo). He and Rawlings recorded it like the early Old Crow records—no overdubs, and with just a couple of takes per song. “I like Rawlings’ approach, it’s very old school fashion of making records,” Watson says. “I’m happy to be able to delve into a more intimate feel. I get to do certain kinds of songs that Old Crow wouldn’t have gotten to do. It’s freeing. There’s certain things I can’t do now that I don’t have a band with me. It’s a better trade-off, doing the solo thing.” This album, he makes a point to emphasize, is not a cover album, but rather a collection of his renditions of traditional folk songs. He also points out that at the time when these old songs were written, it wasn’t uncommon for folk singers to play tunes written by other songwriters. It wasn’t till years later that there was an expectation for musicians to be both the singer and the songwriter. He did, intend when he left Old Crow, to write originals, he just didn’t feel like the material he was producing worked very well. “I was a little frustrated with the writing,” Watson says. “I figured it would be better to play the old songs. They were just better, and they made the crowd react, whereas they didn’t necessarily react to the ones I was writing. It was all around a better experience for everyone.” Even Old Crow, in the very early days, used to play traditional songs quite a bit. In fact their breakout 2004 album, O.C.M.S is about half originals, and half traditional tunes. Picking material for the solo record wasn’t tough, since he listens to these old folk songs all the time. He would just wait for one to jump out at him that he really liked, and could imagine himself singing. The tunes all fit Watson, and even sound like he wrote them, which is precisely what a folk singer should be able to do. “There’s so much music in that vein, and recordings from the ’20s all up through the ’60s and ’70s. If I could play all the songs that I like, I would have hundreds of folk singer volumes now. I could put out a record every week,” Watson says. Info: 9 p.m., Friday, Jan. 30, Don Quixote’s, Felton, $15.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND CROOKED ROAD CÉILÍ

Anyone that thinks traditional Irish music is an archaic, boring experience needs to go to a Crooked Road Céilí show. It’s a lively affair filled with wild abandonment. “When you get the dancers meshing with the vibe of what the band is doing, you got the pulse going, and the room goes electric. It’s just fabulous. There’s smiles and hollers, and it’s just absolutely stimulating—and we’ll play for hours,” says hammer dulcimer player Julia Horner.

JANUARY 28-FEBRUARY 3, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The members of the band met at O’Flaherty’s Pub in San Jose where a larger open-ended group of musicians would gather to play traditional Irish tunes. The trio, now an official band, writes original tunes, but keeps them in the realm of the classic Celtic style. They are playing the Trout Farm Inn on Saturday, which actually isn’t a typical gig for them—the trio usually sticks to private events or outdoor street corners. But they try not to play just anywhere— they want to play in front of people that appreciate the music.

46

“I consider us a street band,” Horner says. “We love playing farmers markets, local festivals, and we’re a very dedicated wedding band—customized Irish-inspired weddings.” The show at the Trout Farm Inn will start with them playing traditional set dancing music, which is kind of like American square dancing. Professional dancers from San Francisco will come down to perform. After that, Crooked Road will do some traditional Céilí dancing songs, which is more like line dancing, and something most people can pick up on quickly without any professional training. “I don’t think the Trout Farm has experienced anything quite like it. A lot of these folks will just be dancing up a storm. It’s going to be a real spectacle,” Horner says. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31. Trout Farm Inn, 7701 E. Zayante Road, Felton. $5. 335-4317.

WEDNESDAY 1/28 FOLK

WILL KIMBROUGH & BRIGITTE DEMEYER Boasting skillful guitar chops, poetic lyrical sense, and a rich voice that instantly reveals his Southern heritage, Will Kimbrough is a songwriter’s songwriter. His gift for layering complex guitar playing with intricate wordplay is so impressive that fans started printing T-shirts suggesting he might be an alien. Kimbrough is joined by celebrated singer-songwriter and frequent collaborator Brigitte DeMeyer—all in a day’s fun for an other-worldly artist, I suppose. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10. 603-2294.

THURSDAY 1/29 REGGAE

JUNIOR REID Diversification is the name of the

game for some artists these days, and Junior Reid knows this as well as anyone. Over the course of three-plus decades, Reid has been a mainstay in the reggae world for his solo work, and was the vocalist for reggae group Black Uhuru for three albums, including their Grammy-nominated 1986 record, Brutal. Since the turn of the millennium, however, his presence has become more noticeable in the hip-hop community, thanks to various collaborations he has done with everyone from Alicia Keys to the Game to the Wu-Tang Clan. BRIAN PALMER

Impossible to pin down to one particular style, Legg transverses the guitar’s range, encompassing classical, jazz, rock, and anything else that suits his fancy into his music. An avid performer, his love of sharing his music is at the heart of what he does. “Playing live is the whole point,” he has said. “This is where music lives.” CAT JOHNSON

INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

INDIE

GUITAR

The ’80s were a time of harsh and extreme underground music. Blonde Redhead emerged in 1993 (two jazz students and one art student) and put a new, gentler, more melodic and lush spin on the no-wave, avantrock and noise-core subgenres that came before them. Their approach to songwriting has always been to build eerie and moody music, but their latest album, Barragán, which

ADRIAN LEGG Named Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist Magazine, Adrian Legg is an absolute wizard. A masterful fingerstyle player, the British-born Legg is an innovator who takes the guitar to previously unexplored realms using customized instruments, pedals and head-shaking technical proficiency.

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST FLOOZIES Blurring the boundary between electronic production and live music, the Floozies have a big, dense sound centered around Matt Hill’s laptop-and-gadget-wizardry and guitar work, and his brother Mark Hill’s drumming. One part dance party, one part festival-style hipster indie-rock (and I say that without judgement), the Floozies are a welcome and lively changeup from the norm. CAT JOHNSON

BLAME SALLY An all-woman four-piece from the Bay Area, Blame Sally throws conventional band wisdom to the wind. With revolving front-woman duties, collaborative album production, and a late-blooming lineup of previously solo artists Pam Delgado, Renee Harcourt, Jeri Jones, and Monica Pasqual, the band blends pop-rock with harmony-rich Americana and a distinctly Bay Area vibe. A wordof-mouth favorite, Blame Sally is perfectly unconventional in all the right ways. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/gen, $35/gold. 427-2227.

SKA-PUNK

MAD CADDIES

Dirty Rice, the new record by Mad Caddies, is their first in seven years, and the ska-punk ensemble are still doing great. Having formed in 1995, they came into their own at the tail end of the ska-punk boom in the ’90s. They mesh the ’90s-style hyper catchy pop-punk sound with soulful vocals and ska rhythms, but also sprinkle in styles like hardcore, jazz, reggae, Latin, country, rockabilly. AC INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

SATURDAY 1/31 AMERICANA

DEEP ELLUM As big as Americana has gotten locally, you don’t often see groups taking big leaps with their style the way local foursome Deep Ellum does. They take a bit of boogie woogie, country, soul, western swing, and a hint of classic rock ’n’ roll and mix it up into some great tunes,

throwing around descriptions like “cosmic country” and “roadhouse rock ’n’ roll.” Those all fit, as does the less flashy title of “country-rock.” AC INFO: Crepe Place, 9 p.m. 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

Singer-songwriter Todd Snider has had an interesting career since debuting in 1994 with his first record, Songs for the Daily Planet. He has released over 15 studio, live and “Best Of” albums, scored minor radio hits like “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock Blues,” and had albums land on multiple Best Albums of the Year lists from Rolling Stone. Snider’s most recent solo work, 2012’s Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables, finds him exploring darker emotional territory than most of his previous work.

FILM

ON THE BRINK Marion Cotillard stars in Belgian drama ‘Two Days One Night,’ directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne.

Woman fights for her job in thoughtful, life-sized ‘Two Days One Night’ BY LISA JENSEN

I

t’s a good thing Marion Cotillard has such an interesting face. We are invited to gaze at her, often in extreme close-up, for just about every frame of the Belgian drama Two Days One Night. Cotillard stars as a young blue-collar wife and mother who has just one weekend to convince a majority of her co-workers to vote to let her keep her job in a small-town factory. As most of the film consists of brief, terse interviews between harried people, viewers might get a bit restless wondering where it’s all going. But the movie does go somewhere interesting at last—even if it takes awhile to get there. Two Days One Night was written and

directed by Belgium’s filmmaking Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, whose focus has often been on working-class and immigrant communities trying to make better lives for themselves on the outskirts of big cities. (The Kid With the Bike and The Silence of Lorna are two of their more recent films.) In the new film, the Dardennes examine the relationship people have to their jobs, and to their co-workers, while exploring the subtle, cruel ways management can manipulate those relationships for profit. The official Belgian entry in this year’s Academy Awards, the film revolves around Sandra (Cotillard),

one of 17 employees in a small solar panel factory in a semi-industrial Belgian town. Her husband, Manu (Fabrizio Rongione), works in a neighborhood cafe, and they’ve recently moved with their two little girls into a house on which they are paying a mortgage. But one Friday afternoon, a friend from work calls to tell Sandra her job is in jeopardy. The foreman at work has convinced their boss they could cut costs by firing one employee, creating a bigger workload for the rest, and the boss has offered to redistribute a portion of the fired worker’s salary as an incentive bonus to the others. A vote has been held without Sandra’s

TWO DAYS ONE NIGHT (DEUX JOURS UNE NUIT) *** (out of four) With Marion Cotillard and Fabrizio Rongione. Written and directed by Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne. A Sundance Selects release. Rated PG-13. 95 minutes. (In French with English subtitles.)

Job Insecurity

knowledge, asking her co-workers if they would rather let Sandra keep her job or accept a 1,000 euro bonus. Sandra rushes to the factory just as the boss is pulling away for the weekend, and he agrees to hold another vote on Monday: if she can convince a majority to choose her over the bonus, she can stay. Sandra also has her own private demons. She’s had to take sick leave to battle depression, and downs Xanax like they’re M&Ms. Her self-esteem is already so damaged, the very thought of having to go out and plead for her job makes her want to curl up in bed forever. (It makes her feel like “a beggar and a thief.”) The Dardennes explore the issue of how much of one’s identity and self-respect depends on one’s job in modern culture—and how that identity can be ruptured by employers who see their labor force as statistics, not people. Asking employees to choose between Sandra’s livelihood and a big bonus does’'t seem callous to her boss, it’s just business. (And an easy way to dodge responsibility.) And of course, the employees are caught in the middle. “I didn’t vote against you,” one of Sandra’s co-workers explains to her, “I voted for my bonus.” But once Sandra begins her odyssey around the taverns, soccer fields, and laundromats where her fellow workers spend their weekend, results are often surprising. One co-worker breaks down in tears for voting against her the first time; another won’t even speak to her. A middle-aged man and his volatile grown son come to blows over the issue; another woman risks her marriage. It can be slow going at times, watching Cotillard’s fragile, yet increasingly dogged Sandra try to reclaim her self-worth. Yet, the question that hovers over all—what would any of us do, when faced with a similar choice—is paid off in a very nifty way in this thoughtful, lifesized tale.

BLACK OR WHITE Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer star as dueling grandparents embroiled in a custody battle over the little granddaughter (Jillian Estell) Costner’s character has raised in this drama about race, family, and good intentions.

TWO DAYS ONE NIGHT Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 95 minutes. (In French with English subtitles.) (***)—Lisa Jensen. Starts Friday. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES This informal movie discussion group meets in downtown Santa Cruz. Movie junkies are invited to join in on Wednesday nights to pursue the elusive and ineffable meanings of cinema. This week (Jan. 28): MR.

NOW PLAYING AMERICAN SNIPER Bradley Cooper is excellent as the conflicted protagonist in this harrowing war drama based on the memoir by Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle about his four tours of duty in Iraq. With muscular direction by Clint Eastwood, the film plunges viewers relentlessly into the chaos of post-9/11 U.S. military ops in the desert war zone and never lets up. Eastwood captures the complex realities of modern warfare and focuses attention on a horrendous war no one wants to acknowledge, but sitting through this movie is grueling, from war-porn battle scenes to the empty pomp of military ceremony. (R) 132 minutes.(**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. BLACKHAT International cybercrime is the subject of this action thriller from Michael Mann, starring Chris Hemsworth as a furloughed convict recruited to track down a cybercrime organization with his American and Chinese partners. Viola Davis and Tang Wei co-star. (R) 135 minutes. THE BOY NEXT DOOR Jennifer Lopez stars as a recent divorcee whose affair with a much-younger neighbor leads to his sinister obsession with her in this psychological thriller from Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious).

Ryan Guzman, John Corbett and Kristin Chenoweth co-star. (R) CAKE Jennifer Aniston ditches make-up and her comedienne persona in this drama about a woman battling chronic pain and her own demons who becomes obsessed with another woman’s suicide. Adriana Barraza and Anna Kendrick co-star for director Daniel Barnz. (R) 91 minutes. FOXCATCHER There’s much to admire in this thoughtful true-crime drama of money and privilege, severe delusions of grandeur, and a murder that rocked the pro wrestling world—although director Bennett Miller’s slow-moving narrative often threatens to sink under its own sense of gravitas. But the film is shored up by three outstanding performances: Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as Olympic wrestling champion brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, and Steve Carrell in the pivotal role of poor little rich boy John du Pont, who inextricably inserts himself into the lives, careers, and destiny of the Schultz brothers. (R) 134 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THE IMITATION GAME The mighty Benedict Cumberbatch is outstanding as troubled mathematical genius Alan Turing, the brilliant puzzle-solver, unsung in his own lifetime, who built the first computer to break the Nazi’s Enigma code during World War II. Turing’s arrogant intelligence, closeted sexuality and borderline Asperger’s syndrome would reduce a lesser actor to tics and melodrama, but Cumberbatch’s commanding focus makes his performance a series of acute and subtle revelations. Morten Tyldum’s time-traveling narrative conveys the complexity of Turing’s story before, during, and after his work on Enigma, presenting the singular Turing as a man trying to crack the code of social “normality” throughout his life. Mark Strong, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Charles Dance offer smart supporting performances. (PG-13) 114 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. INHERENT VICE Joaquin Phoenix stars as the hapless goofball protagonist in this adaptation of

the Thomas Pynchon comic novel about sex and drugs in 1970s L.A., as a low-rent private eye searches for a missing ex-girlfriend. Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Benicio Del Toro, and Reese Witherspoon co-star for director Paul Thomas Anderson. (R) 148 minutes. (Saved FGB) INTO THE WOODS Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s hit Broadway musical, a fairy-tale mashup for grown-ups, is capably directed by Rob Marshall into a savvy piece of moviemaking. A great cast of actors not known as singers (Meryl Streep as the Witch and the scene-stealing Chris Pine as Cinderella’s Prince are particularly good) delivers Sondheim’s witty lyrics and intricate harmonies with style and clarity. A dark and lush entertainment that considers classic fairy-tale themes in all their glamorous, sinister glory. PG) 125 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. MORTDECAI! It’s Johnny Depp in burlesque comedy mode as a roguish art dealer on an international hunt to locate a stolen painting that might be the key to a treasure trove of Nazi gold. Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn, Jeff Goldblum, and Paul Bettany co-star for director David Koepp. (R) 106 minutes. MR. TURNER Timothy Spall stars as the famed English Romantic-era painter J. M. W. Turner, whose life was as tumultuous as his wild, stormy landscapes, in this biographical drama from filmmaker Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Another Year). (R) 149 minutes. PADDINGTON The adorable bear in the red rain hat, hero of a series of beloved children’s’ books, gets lost in London’s Paddington Train Station and taken in by a kindly English family in this mostly live-action (+ CGI bear) family adventure. Nicole Kidman, Peter Capaldi, Julie Walters, Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent head the humanoid cast. Ben Whishaw provides the voice of Paddington. (PG) 90 minutes. SELMA The struggle to make the Voting Rights Act a reality is dramatized in this extraordinarily powerful and accomplished feature

from director Ava DuVernay; the story chronicles a few months in 1965 when Dr. Martin Luther King (played with stoic poise and uncompromising determination by David Oyelowo) organized a series of protest marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery to dramatize the suppression of black voting rights to the White House—and the world. In our own particular historical moment, when “Black Lives Matter” has become a rallying cry in our streets, and the VRA has been shamefully gutted by the current Supreme Court, this movie could not be more timely. (PG-13) 123 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. STRANGE MAGIC George Lucas came up with the story for this animated family adventure populated by fairies, elves, and a Bog King (voice of Alan Cumming). Evan Rachel Wood, Kristin Chenoweth, and Maya Rudolph provide additional vices. Gary Rydstrom directs. (PG) 99 minutes. TAKEN 3 Liam Neeson rides again as the implacably cool ex-CIA op who foiled complex kidnapping plots in the first two thrillers now using all his wicked counter-intelligence skills to elude the bad guys tracking him and clear himself of a bogus murder charge. Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen co-star for returning director Olivier Megaton. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (Saved FGB) UNBROKEN Angelina Jolie directs this World War II drama that follows the true story of Louis Zamperini from American distance runner at the 1936 Olympics, to Air Force captain shot down over the Pacific, to survivor in a brutal Japanese POW camp. Jack O’Connell stars, with Domhnall Gleeson, Garrett Hedlund, Finn Wittrock, and Japanese actor Miyavi in supporting roles. (PG-13) 137 minutes. THE WEDDING RINGER A socially awkward groom-to-be (Josh Gad) rents a hip best man-for-hire (Kevin Hart) to make his wedding a success in this modern comedy of manners. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting and Alan Ritchson co-star for director Jeremy Garelick. (R) 101 minutes.

Soquel Vineyards’ pinots clean up at San Francisco competition with five gold medals BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

he trio of winemakers at Soquel Vineyards has been winning awards for a while now. But nothing like what happened a few weeks ago at the recent San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Winemakers Jon Morgan, and brothers Peter and Paul Bargetto, who specialize in Pinot Noir made from the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, made five Pinots in 2013—and all five won gold medals. Two of these outstanding examples of SCM terroir won double gold. So, when I was offered the chance to taste all the gold medal winners, I jumped in my car! Especially since the setting was the hilltop Italianate estate on property once

farmed by Peter and Paul Bargetto’s grandfather. The temperature was a perfect 78 degrees out on the terrace, and the company included the winemakers and winery associate Janette Schwabenland. “We’re looking for a good balance between acid and sugars,” says Morgan, as we sampled the 2013 Chardonnay, 14.5 percent alcohol, barrel aged in French oak for 10 months. Despite its substantial alcohol, the wine had a gorgeously firm acidity driving its rounded tropical fruit tones. Definitely gold medal. “The maturity of fruit determines when we pick. If the grapes hang too long, sugars increase and you

can end up with a hot, soft wine,” Morgan says. Pick early, and you get crisp, cool wine. “Mother Nature is in charge,” says Paul Bargetto, who speaks in perfect sound bites. “Grapes are the boss.” The winemakers actually do all work together to make roughly 7,500 cases of wine per vintage—“winemaking by committee” they quip. Next came the meat of the order, the five 2013 Pinot Noirs, starting with the Santa Cruz Mountains designation made from 14 Pinot Noir clones (google it!) from three different vineyards—equal parts Coast Grade Ben Lomond, Estate, and Lester Family Vineyards. “This one is aged in only new French oak, but not

for too long,” Peter Bargetto chimes in. I admire its ravishing garnet color. It yields sassafras and black pepper on the palate, lots of elusive spices, perhaps some bay leaves in the nose, and a long potent blueberry finish. It was easily one of the finest Santa Cruz Mountain Pinots I’ve ever tasted. I’m thinking triple gold. The Lester Family Vineyards Pinot, 13.9 percent alcohol, was a blend of nine clones. “Juicy!” says Paul. It is that, and a lot more. Another knockout to my taste was the Coast Grade Vineyard Pinot, 13.8 percent alcohol, dancing on the tongue with aromas of black cherry and mint. “I like the brightness of this one,” Morgan agrees. Bright and sassy and calling out for food. “We farm organically,” Peter reminds me, as we overlook estate vines flowing down the hill in emerald bands all the way to the ocean. Or so it seems. One of my personal favorites is the ruby red Estate Pinot. It offers a remarkable flavor structure yielded from the 3-acre Estate vineyard’s four clones. “No irrigation.” The three men nod in unison. This beauty was loaded with plum and cranberry, with a flinty, birch bark center, a hint of star anise, and bay leaves in the long sexy finish. Wow! Some credit is due here to Prudy Foxx, ace wine consultant, called in to check the delicate biochemistry of the vines when the 2013 vintage came close to harvest. “She won these golds for us,” Paul concedes graciously. “The whole appellation is winning more golds,” Morgan adds. “There’s a lot of guesswork in our business, but Prudy has an intuitive touch. She sees where the grapes will go before it even happens.” Soquel Vineyards has hit its award-winning stride. “The three of us love being hands-on,” Peter says. “We’re exactly as big as we want to be.” Big enough to house a slew of new gold medals, and some of the top Pinot Noirs ever produced in our region. In case you want to run right out and purchase these exceptional wines, the double golds went to the 2013 Pinot Noir, Partners’ Reserve, Santa Cruz Mountains, and to the 2013 Pinot Noir, Lester Family Vineyards. Both under $40. Available at soquelvineyards.com.

visit to Clos LaChance, a small, family-owned operation in San Martin, is always a pleasure, especially when the weather is nice. Set in beautiful grounds and gardens, it makes an ideal picnic spot in the spring and summer, and visitors are free to do so with a purchase of their wine. There’s a bocce ball court, too—bring your own balls, or use the ones at the winery. One wine that knocked my socks off at a recent tasting is the 2012 Murphy’s Choice Pinot Noir (about $38). It’s an impressive blend of hand-picked grapes from vineyards scattered throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains. LaChance is the maiden name of Brenda Murphy, who, with her husband Bill, has been the owner of Clos LaChance Winery since 1992. We took the Pinot to the Jack O’Neill Lounge in the Dream Inn to share with friends over dinner, and almost drank the lot before the appetizers arrived! With its enticing aromas of black cherry, berry and currant, and full-throttle fruit-forward flavors, this wellstructured wine is a Pinot lover’s delight. The Dream Inn’s fairly new Jack O’Neill Lounge makes for a rich experience—good food and service with a marvelous ocean view to boot. Named after local surfer legend Jack O’Neill, the upbeat restaurant has a fine display of his personal memorabilia and some terrific old photographs of him, as well. Happy Hour is from 4-7 p.m, Monday through Friday, and food service 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Clos LaChance Winery, 1 Hummingbird Lane, San Martin, 408-686-1050. Clos.com. Dream Inn, 175 West Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz, 460-5012.

ELECTRIC KETTLES We have a new electric kettle at the Good Times offices, and it’s a beauty. It’s a Chef’sChoice Cordless Electric Hot Pot 675 and is just perfect for boiling water. It has a seamless stainless steel interior and the heating element is never in contact with the water, so there’s no build-up of mineral deposits. Growing up in England, I can attest that practically every household has an electric kettle. But it’s not just for making tea, it’s for boiling water—and, therefore, essential in every kitchen. I use mine many times a day, and can’t imagine living without one. The Chef’sChoice kettle is made by EdgeCraft and sells for $60 at Chefworks, 1527 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, 426-1351.

THE HIDEOUT RESTAURANT The brand-new Hideout is now up and running in the spot that used to be Ma Maison in Aptos. I went in and met the new owners, Austin Welch and Pete Vomvolakis, who gave me a little tour of their bright and shiny restaurant—complete with an upbeat sports bar area and an abundance of flat-screen TV’s. The menu includes burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads and more. Welch and Vomvolakis have completely remodeled the inside and it looks beautiful. 9051 Soquel Drive, Aptos, 688-5566.

lightning fast around here as far as food and service, real consistent.

Is the pink bow around your neck part of the uniform? CAROL NATION: No, it has nothing to do with any color. We need to wear some sort of tie to work, so I chose a nice, simple ribbon. Some girls wear football insignia, like Giants emblems or whatever. When I get up, I like to be really fast. I'm not really a morning person, even though I work the mornings.

Any new menu items? We have a couple of new salads. We have a Tuscan chicken salad, which is wonderful. And our salads are very generous, and they’re aesthetically pleasing.

On Yelp, people talk about the barbecue ranch burger. Is that popular? It’s really popular. I don’t do any of that online stuff, but I probably should. Do they say a lot of good things about us on Yelp? Pretty much. Because, you know, we have such a following. This restaurant, because of where we’re located, with the hospital across the street, we get a lot of people that fast the night before. We get a lot of people from that. We’re known to be real

Fried eggs or scrambled? I like my eggs poached, but I also like them more over-medium. Most people probably order them over-medium— not too done, but not too light. And we have the best eggs Benedict.

How do you like your burger? I don’t eat a lot of red meat here, but if I were to crave red meat—medium rare. Every once in a while, I’ll do a little burger patty, but I don’t eat red meat at work, because it makes me tired.

Nice purple nail polish, that’s a color I don’t often see. I did this in the car before I came into work. People always say my nails look nice. It means you’re happy if your nails are nice. ... No, someone told me that once. Do people ever call you “Carrie Nation?” No, it’s just Carol. A lot of the girls I work with call me “Carol Ann,” and it’s really just “Carol.”

3 RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES AQUARIUS CALLING, HUMANITY RISING

Aquarius (11th sign after Aries) is the sign of service— serving one another, building community. Aquarius is fixed air, stabilizing new ideas in the world. When new ideas reach the masses the ideas become ideals within the hearts and minds of humanity. Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are mental. They think, ponder, study, research, gather and distribute information. For air signs, education and learning, communicating, writing, being social, tending to money, participating in groups and creating sustainable communities are most important. One of the present messages Aquarius is putting forth to the New Group of World Servers is the creation of the New Education (thus thinking) for humanity—one based not on commodities (banking/ corporate values) but on virtues. Aquarius is the sign of humanity itself. We are now at the beginnings of the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Humanity (rising). The “rising” is the Aquarian vision of equality, unity, the distribution and sharing of all resources and of individual (Leo) creative gifts for the purpose of humanity’s (Aquarius) uplifting. This is the message in the Solar

Festival of Aquarius (at the full moon) on Tuesday, Feb. 3. We join in these visions by reciting the World Prayer of Direction, the Great Invocation. Tuesday’s solar festival follows Monday’s Groundhog Day, or Imbolc (ancient Celtic fire festival) the halfway mark between winter solstice and spring Equinox). The New Group of World Servers (NGWS) during these two days are preparing for the upcoming Three Spring Solar Festivals: 1. Aries Resurrection/Easter Festival (April); 2. Taurus Buddha/Wesak Festival (May); and 3. Gemini’s Festival of Humanity (June). Aquarius and the new and full moons together are the primary astrological influences behind all of humanity’s endeavors. The NGWS are to teach these things, calling and uplifting humanity. Join us everyone. (301)

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Much of you has, should be or will go into retreat for a while. This is a good thing. Your ruler (planet influencing Aries), Mars is hiding away, calling you to a place of shelter, refuge, sanctuary, an inner harbor, so you can reflect upon the past year and make plans in the quietest part of self for the upcoming seasons. This is a gift of time and contemplation. Go to church.

Perhaps you find yourself yearning for someone. Perhaps you’re striving to harmonize others—friends, family, business colleagues, etc. Relationships invite you to grow and become more whole. It’s painful, the razor’s edge, honing our rough edges. This is the sacred design and purpose embedded within relationships. Libra’s function is to learn how to be in relationship. Your most important one needs recognition, understanding and care.

What do you think and feel are your abilities that assist in the reconstruction of the new world? What do you want to be recognized for and what gifts of self do you aspire to offer to the New Group of World Servers whose task is to impress humanity with the new ideas that become ideals in humanity’s mind which then help create the new culture and civilization? Where do you stand on these? Actually, where are you?

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

You find yourself thinking of groups, the NGWS. It’s because they need your ideas, practical direction, determined focus and your quiet, efficient and illuminating mind. Behind all your words and ideas is the reality that it’s time to re-educate, restore and salvage the world and that much sacrifice must come forth from all of us. When you lead, everyone follows.

(across from Kohl’s, next to Ross)

462-4697

An interesting situation is occurring. You now have the freedom to choose many paths. You can also choose to remain the same. Your life becomes filled with possibilities and potentials. You will be impressed with complex information, while perceiving multiple levels of reality. You have entered a region where the veils are parting and new information is being given. Be still more.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You might find that religious themes, especially a past religion, form an important focus in your life. Altruism becomes your keynote. People begin to perceive you as philosophical, idealistic, visionary. You will have inspired insights. You imagine other lands and worlds. It’s good to build a boat, eat fish, swim in warm waters, hang golden veils.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 At times you find yourself functioning in other worlds, feeling compassion and intuition growing daily. Don’t be concerned with shared finances and resources and try not to feel deprivation. There is no deprivation. There is only goodness, everywhere. God is always good. Love underlies all events. Some obligations and responsibilities call. Serve like a saint you admire.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 This is the time to care for your health. Especially previous health issues. Do you have a dream you’re envisioning, hope for, are working with? A vision? Don’t become disillusioned. This will affect your health, which, with focus, you must build up again. Do not overwork or allow excessive worry. You will never fail. There is no such thing as failure; only experience, which is how we learn.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 There are times you may struggle with disillusion and disappointment concerning relationships and professional endeavors. In the midst of this you will also discover needed creativity and world recognition. There are great powers still to be expressed along with doing something significant. You’re talented and lucky. Sacrifice plays a part, amidst peaceful seclusion.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You must be curious about the words you and others speak. Look beneath the surface of language to understand the complete picture. If we listen to communications through the lens, and ask “what is attempting to be expressed here?” the hidden psychological messages become clear. Seek solitude when creating. Know that a new identity of self is coming forth from your transforming creativity.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You can be very generous. However, you can also (recently) be dreamy and/or confused about your money. You have a sense of right timing and intuition concerning when important things should be done, with whom, when and where. These abilities emerge more and more in the coming months. You often tap into unusual resources. You always have access to what is needed. Sharing creates more.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re not an everyday sort of person. You don’t have the energy of Aries or the steadfastness of Taurus, the business acumen of Capricorn or the relating skills of Libra. You’re in touch with other states of reality with different values based on spiritual motivations. I see you are beginning to create boundaries out in the world. You will play your part when the needed organization comes into your life. Boundaries are good. Include music and art and study the planting of edible and medicinal trees. It’s preparation.
