ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 15 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 The California Gold Rush hit its peak between 1849 and 1855. Three hundred thousand adventurers flocked to America's West Coast in search of gold. In the early days, gold nuggets were lying around on the ground in plain sight, or relatively easy to find in gravel beds at the bottom of streams. But later prospectors had to work harder, developing methods to extract the gold from rocks that contained it. One way to detect the presence of the precious metal was through the use of nitric acid, which corroded any substance that wasn't gold. The term “acid test” refers to that process. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because it's a good time for you to use the metaphorical version of an acid test as you ascertain whether what you have discovered is truly golden.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The time between now and your birthday will provide you with excellent opportunities to resolve lingering problems, bring drawn-out melodramas to a conclusion, and clean up old messes—even the supposedly interesting ones. You want to know what else this upcoming period will be good for? I'll tell you: 1. Surrendering control-freak fantasies. 2. Relieving your backlog of tension. 3. Expelling delusional fears that you cling to out of habit. 4. Laughing long and hard at the cosmic jokes that have tweaked your attitude.

In the mid-19th century, the entrance exam for the British Royal Navy was quite odd. Some candidates were required to write down the Lord's Prayer, recite the multiplication table for the number three, get naked and jump over a chair, and drink a glass of sherry. I'm guessing that your own initiation or rite of passage may, at least initially, seem as puzzling or nonsensical as that one. You might be hard-pressed to understand how it is pertinent to the next chapter of your life story. And yet I suspect that you will ultimately come to the conclusion— although it may take some time—that this transition was an excellent lead-in and preparation for what's to come.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 In 1909, Sergei Diaghilev founded the Ballets Russes, a Parisian ballet company that ultimately revolutionized the art form. The collaborative efforts he catalyzed were unprecedented. He drew on the talents of visual artists Picasso and Matisse, composers Stravinsky and Debussy, designer Coco Chanel, and playwright Jean Cocteau, teaming them up with top choreographers and dancers. His main goal was not primarily to entertain, but rather to excite and inspire and inflame. That's the spirit I think you'll thrive on in the coming weeks, Cancerian. It's not a time for nice diversions and comfy satisfactions. Go in quest of Ballets Russes-like bouts of arousal, awakening and delight.

"Don't ever tame your demons—always keep them on a leash." That's a line from a song by Irish rock musician Hozier. Does it have any meaning for you? Can your personal demons somehow prove useful to you if you keep them wild but under your control? If so, how exactly might they be useful? Could they provide you with primal energy you wouldn't otherwise possess? Might their presence be a reminder of the fact that everyone you meet has their own demons and therefore deserves your compassion? I suspect that these are topics worthy of your consideration right now. Your relationship to your demons is ripe for transformation—possibly even a significant upgrade.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Minimum loan amount is $5,000. Subject to credit approval. Offer available through June 30, 2015 and cannot be combined with any other offer. Refinance loan loan must be from another lender.r. Dealer Sales Contracts Contracts are not eligible on new loans. Current Monterey CU loans are not noot eligible.

Gift is awarded when loan is fun funded nded or while supplies last. We reserve the right to substitute a giftt of similar value.

This institution is not federally insured or insured by any state government.

Will you be the difficult wizard, Virgo? Please say yes. Use your magic to summon elemental forces that will shatter the popular obstacles. Offer the tart medicine that tempers and tests as it heals. Bring us bracing revelations that provoke a fresher, sweeter order. I know it's a lot to ask, but right now there's no one more suited to the tasks. Only you can manage the stern grace that will keep us honest.

Only you have the tough humility necessary to solve the riddles that no one else can even make sense of.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 My message this week might be controversial to the Buddhists among you. But I've got to report the cosmic trends as I see them, right? It's my sacred duty not to censor or sanitize the raw data. So here's the truth as I understand it: More desire is the answer to your pressing questions. Passionate intensity is the remedy for all wishywashy wishes and anesthetized emotions. The stronger your longing, the smarter you'll be. So if your libido is not already surging and throbbing under its own power, I suggest you get it teased and tantalized until it does.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Karelu is a word from the Tulu language that's spoken in South India. It refers to the marks made on human skin by clothing that's too tight. As you know, the effect is temporary. Once the close-fitting garment is removed, the imprint will eventually disappear as the skin restores its normal shape and texture. I see the coming days as being a time when you will experience a metaphorical version of karelu, Scorpio. You will shed some form of constriction, and it may take a while for you to regain your full flexibility and smoothness.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Georgia is not just an American state, it's also a country that's at the border of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. Many people who live there speak the Georgian language. They have a word, shemomedjamo, that refers to what happens when you love the taste of the food you're eating so much that you continue to pile it in your mouth well past the time when you're full. I'd like to use it as a metaphor for what I hope you won't do in the coming days: get too much of a good thing. On the other hand, it's perfectly fine to get just the right, healthy amount of a good thing.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 When you're a driver in a car race, an essential rule in making a successful pit stop is to get back on the track as quickly as possible. Once the refueling is finished and your new tires are in place, you don't want to be cleaning out your cup holder or checking the side-view mirror to see how you look. Do I really need to tell you this? Aren't you usually the zodiac's smartest competitor? I understand that you're trying to become more skilled at the arts of relaxation, but can't you postpone that until after this particular race is over? Remember that there's a difference between the bad kind of stress and the good kind. I think you actually need some of the latter.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Until the early 20th century, mayonnaise was considered a luxury food, a hand-made delicacy reserved for the rich. An entrepreneur named Richard Hellman changed that. He developed an efficient system to produce and distribute the condiment at a lower cost. He put together effective advertising campaigns. The increasing availability of refrigeration helped, too, making mayonnaise a more practical food. I foresee the possibility of a comparable evolution in your own sphere, Aquarius: the transformation of a specialty item into a mainstay, or the evolution of a rare pleasure into a regular occurrence.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Piscean author Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated over 40 books for children. Midway through his career, his publisher dared him to make a new book that used no more than 50 different words. Accepting the challenge, Seuss produced “Green Eggs and Ham,” which went on to become the fourth best-selling English-language children's book in history. I invite you to learn from Seuss's efforts, Pisces. How? Take advantage of the limitations that life has given you. Be grateful for the way those limitations compel you to be efficient and precise. Use your constraints as inspiration to create a valuable addition to your life story.

A robot that can harvest fruit, a kite that uses infrared imagery to predict crop yields, and a mobile application that makes it easy for growers to manage their operation from field to store are just some of the technologies under development today in the budding local AgTech space. With the state’s devastating drought now in its record-setting fourth year, farm labor shortages, increased food safety regulations, and growing consumer demand for greater transparency into the food supply chain, California’s nearly $47 billion agriculture industry is looking to technology for answers. While “technology is not going to make it rain,� it can help address some of these vital industry concerns, says Dennis Donahue, former Salinas mayor and founder of the Steinbeck Innovation Cluster, an education and networking hub where innovators, industry leaders and Silicon Valley tech and venture capital experts come together. Surrounded by a diverse agricultural economy made up of multinational agribusiness and a robust community of small- and medium-sized farms, local tech entrepreneurs in Santa Cruz’s growing technology sector are well positioned to innovate an industry that is notoriously hesitant to change. “As things are changing in the industry, we are getting pressures in different places of our operation and looking at ag technology, ways where we can use less people to farm maybe even the same ground,� said Robert Wall, farming systems technician at Reiter Affiliated Companies, the largest fresh multi-berry producer in the world, at Santa Cruz County’s first AgTech Meetup on March 24. Reiter is currently working with the developers of Agrobot, a robot strawberry harvester that can determine a strawberry’s

DISABILITY/SSI

NEWS KUSP RADIO <11 Springs, Santa Barbara, Oxnard/ Ventura and Mojave/Antelope Valley, creating a mega-station down south. When asked about the possible merger here, KCRW station manager Jennifer Ferro was curt. “I don’t think there’s anything to say about that,” she declared before referring the Good Times back to Green. “The Community Advisory Board meets every three months, and because the next meeting wouldn’t be until June, I wanted them to have an idea of what one scenario would look like, to seek their input,” says Green. “There is no deal.”

KUSP: A HISTORY “Most of this is conjecture and opinion,” begins Charlie Lange, co-host of KUSP’s Soul Shack. “So if you use anything, I’d like that to be the clear.” He sounds frustrated. Lange has spent the last 38 years helping to build the station’s audience and maintain its independent status with a local focus. “Because I’ve had this unique historical perspective, I’m pissed about it,” Lange says of the KCRW proposal. “Many of my cohorts, other people who have been involved in the station for decades, have given up and said, ‘Ah, we’re just old. This is just the

way it is. Nobody listens to it.’ But I heard a talk from the guy who started KUSP and it really fired my brain, again, that this is a viable format.” That man is David Freedman. In 1972, Freedman was a Stanford graduate with revolutionary ideas working for KTAO, out of Los Gatos. The owner was a man named Lorenzo Milam (known as the Johnny Appleseed of community radio, with more than 14 startups under his belt), who had written a book called Sex and Broadcasting: A Handbook on Starting Community Radio Stations. “It had nothing to do with sex,” remembers Freedman. “But he said he’d get 1,000 more listeners and 100 more buyers [with the name].” Armed with the idea that radio should be organic, commercialfree and represent the audience it’s broadcasting to, they assembled any volunteers they could to build the dream on no money. “I put the station on the air for $600,” Freedman says. “It was only 10 watts and the signal only traveled six blocks or so.” Throughout the 1970s, KUSP would struggle financially but steadily continued, and even grew, through creative programming that many modern day podcasters would approve of, like putting the soundboard in

the back of Lange’s VW Bus and broadcasting live from local concerts.

BIG SHIFTS Over the years, however, the station’s format began to change. First, in the 1980s, when the board (on which Lange was an active member for this decision) voted to broadcast NPR to finance locally produced programs, and later as the NPR format expanded throughout the schedule, cutting many of those same programs. “Then, by the mid-2000s,” explains Green, “media consumption was changing and the rate of growth of our NPR audience was slowing down.” “The real issue was when KAZU (90.3 FM, public radio from the CSU Monterey Bay campus) decided to go head-to-head with KUSP with the NPR format,” says ex-programmer KUSP Rachel Goodman. The Peabody Awardwinning journalist was with the station for almost 13 years, as a host of the news show Talk of the Bay and the live music show Coast Ridge Ramble. “As [KUSP] became more and more worried about its bottom line, it kept adding NPR programming to help fund its underwriting,” she says. “And NPR is not cheap.” >16

NEWS BRIEFS HOT (TUB) MESS

DEAD AT 50 After selling out three nights in Chicago to celebrate their 50th anniversary last week, the surviving members of the Grateful Dead added two Silicon Valley shows at the 67,000-capacity, sometimes scorching hot Levi’s Stadium on June 27 and 28. Fans had to apply for a lottery at dead50.net to get a chance to pay $59.50-$199.50 (plus a $32.15 service fee) to see Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart backed by guests Bruce Hornsby and Trey Anastasio. “The service fee is more than we used to pay

for tickets,” says former Deadhead Diane Bourdet of Ben Lomond, who has decided not to go to what is supposedly the band’s last hurrah. Instead, she’s going to the annual Dead Meetup held in movie theaters across the country on May 4, which is screening an Alpine Valley concert from July 19, 1989. Tickets for the 7 p.m. movie at Santa Cruz’s Regal 9 are $12.50 with a $2 service charge. There were only a few seats left at press time.

For a place that was a peaceful escape from the stresses of daily life, Kiva Retreat House has been home to some major stress lately. Last week, therapists at the blissful clothing-optional hot tub, sauna and massage retreat on Water Street were told it was closing, after 35 years of business. Then they were told it was going to stay open. Then it closed Sunday. There’s now a sign on the front door saying “Closed Untill [sic] Futher Notice,” which we take to mean that there are no massages or tubs available, and no way to get to the magical,

well-kept zen-style gardens. River Maximuk, the retreat’s manager for the past 12 years, says that owner Jeff Wolf wasn’t paying for necessary repairs to the tubs and sauna, so Maximuk laid out $72,000 to keep the place running and hasn’t been paid back. He says he and his wife Ashley were working without being paid in the hopes of keeping the retreat running. Wolf didn’t respond to a request for an interview by press time. We’d like to know what the future will bring for a place that is the last of its kind in Santa Cruz, a real “only in Santa Cruz” communal gathering spot.

with AgTech,” says Walls. “Ten years ago we didn’t have smartphones, now we are using a [mobile] application that monitors and tracks field conditions from data collected by sensors put in the field so we can predict what the soil will be doing in the next 24 hours,” says Carolyn O’Donnell, Communications Director of the California Strawberry Commission, on how the landscape has evolved for the state’s strawberry growers. The Commission is working on automating the strawberry cap removal step in the harvesting process. Currently, the top of the strawberry is removed by hand in the field, which raises worker and food safety concerns. The Commission has spent about $500,000 so far on developing a way to automate this step away from the field in the processing plant,

and hopes to have a prototype in a processing facility this year. For local start-up Farmbotix, the news that heavyweight agricultural producers are open to change is welcome. “There is so much room for optimization in the agricultural industry,” says company co-founder and engineer, Anthony Sandoval. Envisioning “farm bots everywhere,” Sandoval has developed two machines, the “Farm Bot” and the “Follow Me Bot,” for use in commercial and consumer farming operations. Designed for furrow applications in the agricultural industry, the Farm Bot has been tested for use in planting garlic, and would assist with carrying product, planting, fertilizing, weeding and possibly harvesting. Still in very early research and development stages, Sandoval and Farmbotix co-founder Hernan Cortes, both from

Watsonville, are looking for angel investment to take their projects to the next level. “Between my full-time job and four days volunteer work teaching robotics after work, my time building these machines is very limited,” says Sandoval. Also looking for investment is Corralitos entrepreneur Pete Biggam, developer of the mobile application Organized Organics, which aims to collect all of the world’s farming data while helping small to large growers manage all aspects of their farm from seed to store. “I see the industry in its early stages just like the private space [exploration] industry. Right now, many companies are investing lots of their profits into R and D for their own farming companies. As more AgTech companies come about, this will allow farms to focus more on food production and growth and lower the costs

of technology for them,” says Biggam. While AgTech is still in its early days, investor Bud Colligan says the key to propelling the sector forward is creating entrepreneurial teams that have a combination of domain knowledge, technical skills, and business expertise. “Right now, you see many teams with domain knowledge trying to develop apps overseas or on a contract basis,” says Colligan, a longtime Silicon Valley venture capitalist and founder of South Swell Ventures, a private investment firm working in the tri-county area. “This is not a recipe for success. All the elements of a successful start-up need to be there, with fast iteration capability,” which means local lean teams working together close to their customers. For local tech entrepreneurs, those potential customers are just a field away.

The station spent $135,000 for the NPR content, according to its 2014 annual report. It raised $551,000 from listeners in 2014, up from $435,000 the previous year, for a $1 million income with underwriting and grants. But it operates at about a $200,000 loss— nowhere near sustainable. It spent $634,225 on programming and production, up $54,000 from the previous year. It cut $17,000 for a broadcast budget of $77,136 and added $15,000 to management and general expenses, for $208,419 for the year. It spends $68,000 a year to lease its offices and another $13,000 a year to lease transmitters at Mount Toro and the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. And it paid $405,000 in salaries last year; up almost $40,000 from the year before. "KUSP is a precious community resource,” Goodman says. “With KUSP and KAZU competing by airing identical programs from NPR, local news and public affairs coverage has suffered. To make good decisions about land use or water or fire emergencies, we need local media that is responsive to its listeners … I would be very skeptical of any deal that doesn't increase local programming and retain some sort of local control and accountability." Yet, not everyone sees KUSP’s current identity crisis as entirely its own doing. “I don’t know what ‘community radio’ means anymore,” ruminates Johnny Simmons. Simmons was with KUSP from October 1980 until last month, and most recently was heard as KUSP host of Morning Edition. “Everything is everywhere. People don’t want a record show anymore. They want what they want and can download it onto their iPad. It’s a changed world.” Still, Freedman mourns the KCRW proposal. “When you implant a piece of Los Angeles into Santa Cruz, you’re losing a place for Santa Cruz,” he says. “However, people have to care. If you don’t care, you lose it. It’s just like freedom, which is why we started KUSP in the first place: to give people the freedom of choice.”

<19 And how did King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck respond to such radical ideas? “He was so open,� she says. “He’s a huge fan of TED, and uses TED with his ministers.� Later, the country’s prime minister asked her to collaborate with some of those same ministers on improving their communication skills, which she’ll do on a return visit. But there was one more radical collaboration left to come in Bhutan for Holombo, who found herself surrounded by musicians who were there for the Bhutanese International Festival—a world champion beatboxer, an Indian pop superstar, etc. She wanted so badly to go to Tiger’s Nest, the famous monastery that hangs off a cliff 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley, that she extended her trip by a day to do it. Accompanied by several of

the musicians, she set out to make the climb. “It was four and half hours of switchbacks. It’s so crazy. You see it and then you get closer and it’s still that far away, like a Monty Python movie,� she says. “Something happened, and I started meditating while I was hiking. And then I started saying ‘thank you,’ and I was so grateful to be alive.� When she got to the top, she went into one of many small temples in the monastery and found a monk sitting there. “He said hello, and I said hello. He said ‘Would you like some holy water?’ and I said ‘yes.’ He poured it in my hand, I sipped some, and I put it over my head. I sat there quietly meditating, and he said, ‘Where are you from?’ I said, ‘California.’ ‘What part of California?’ I said ‘Santa Cruz.’ And he said ‘Oh, I’ve been there.’ I’m like, c’mon.

Holombo and her collaborators in TEDx Santa Cruz—Jon Luini, Nada Miljkovic and David Warren— understand the importance of such connections. The long and winding road to their convergence began in February of 1984, when architect and graphic designer Richard Saul Wurman presented a conference on “Technology, Entertainment and Design”—TED, for short—at the Monterey Conference Center. Perhaps because it was ahead of its time conceptually, it lost money, and Wurman didn’t put together a second TED event until 1990. The annual conferences continued in Monterey until 2009, when TED outgrew its hometown and moved to Long Beach, and then Vancouver, gradually expanding its subject matter far beyond the original three areas of focus. In 2000, Future Publishing founder Chris Anderson and his Sapling Foundation took over TED (although Wurman continues to organize other conferences even now, at age 80), but far more significant to TED’s fame was the moment TED talks went online in 2006. Their concise format—nothing longer than 18 minutes allowed— was ideal for Internet viral spread, and suddenly anyone could watch presentations on the frontiers of science, like Tyler Wilson describing the nuclear fusion reactor he built when he was 14, or just learn the best way to tie their shoes (from metaphysical thinker Terry Moore, in TED’s first three-minute audience talk in 2005). In 2008, TED began offering licenses for smaller regional conferences called TEDx. David Warren applied for one in Santa Cruz, and put out the word that he

was seeking collaborators. He found Luini on the Santa Cruz_Geeks list, and Holombo saw his flier at Kelly’s Bakery. “I think it just happened luckily that we had these relevant skill sets,” says Holombo of the core group. “I had done corporate events all over the world; I’d speakercoached executives. Jon had his production company; he had done video and handled content. David was just a curious person, and he still is like that; I call him ‘The Tracker.’ Nada has a project management background and is so great dealing with artists and others. It just worked.” That “radical collaboration” is a fitting theme for this group is clear from the fact that picking the theme is usually one of the hardest things they do … until this year, when it clicked with everyone immediately. “We all four have to love the theme before we move forward,” says Miljkovic. “The last three years were harder than hell. This year, it was like a five-minute breakfast meeting.” She too has found a thread of radical collaboration running through her life. It began during her 20 years as an engineer, during which she worked on all nine of the BART extensions in the ’90s. BART administrators worked closely with the engineers at every turn, revising plans with each small increment of progress. In 2009, she went to a conference on the “Art of Collaboration,” which solidified her commitment to the process. “Things that I heard that day still resonate,” she says. “Whether it’s an event or a website or a highway, it’s all the same. Collaboration is based on intimacy and vulnerability, and that’s the hardest part. It’s based on relationships, and you can’t force it.” Even with her background, though, Miljkovic says she’s still “learned so much about collaboration in the last four months,” putting this year’s TEDx Santa Cruz together. That’s because this group practices what it’s preaching. Their internal process can definitely be

described as radical collaboration. And they know that while it brings more cooperation and hopefully a better result, it’s not always easy. “We’re all very different from each other,” says Holombo. “And it’s interesting, because we’ve worked together for five years now, but once we got to radical collaboration and we really challenged ourselves, it actually got clunkier than it’s ever been before. Because in trying to let go, even our decision-making process changed. There are four of us on this core team, and we got to this place where we said ‘what happens when we disagree with each other?

<25 proud that they’ve added 20 new volunteers to the organizing group to support the core team, which means not only that the four founders can delegate more, but also that new ideas are circulating. “This year we made it a huge priority to expand our team,â€? Luini says. “It’s been a number of years, and we don’t want to completely burn out ‌ I don’t want to do production for TEDx Santa Cruz for the next 10 years. I want to see more new blood come in and be more representative of more people. I think the challenge is really to reach out and get people involved. It should be Santa Cruz’s TEDx.â€? None of the TEDx Santa Cruz volunteers (which number about 60 through the course of one year’s event, 40 in attendance on the day of), including the core organizing team, are paid. That means the organizers can only do what they can fit into their life, and sometimes things don’t get done— at which point, Holombo says, “you just sort of do the walk of shame. We try to be gentle with each other. It doesn’t always work. But I’m so proud of those people and what gets done. It’s a miracle.â€? “The thing with this group,â€? says Luini, “is that at the end of the day,

everybody is doing it for the right reasons.� “All four of the core team are doing this because we want to make the world better,� says Miljkovic.

TED Forward TED has taken some heat in recent years for its prohibitive cost ($8,500 for a ticket to the main event in Vancouver) and perceived elitism. Some critiques hold up better than others; the most recent TED-skeptic piece was Megan Hustad’s op-ed “The Church of TED� in the New York Times in March. In addition to the elitist argument, Hustad compares the zeal with which TED fans celebrate the conference’s parade of ideas with Christian evangelism. It’s a logical sleight of hand long used by anti-science crusaders such as creationists to attempt to muddy debate—science advocates, they say, are just as zealous about science as religious zealots are about religion. Anyone familiar with the relentless skepticism of the scientific method knows how absurd this is, and Hustad never pulls it together, either—rather than citing evidence that this sinister shift is taking place, her article finally drifts into pure speculative fantasy as she wonders “whether TED’s top 20 list

will eventually morph into a creed, or whether, as in the early church, heretics will be asked to leave the party.” It’s not surprising that TEDx Santa Cruz would attract a group that’s rather skeptical by nature, and indeed they have no tolerance for any kind of a cult-like TED atmosphere. But critics like Hustad completely miss the mark—TED’s weakness is not in what it does, but what it doesn’t do. With its fear of social justice issues and any perception of political overtones, TED has long been lacking a certain element of humanity, though that may be changing. “This year, Chris Anderson interviewed the Dalai Lama [at TED]. He said ‘look, this isn’t about politics, I know we don’t have politics on stage. This is about happiness and consciousness.’ But that would not have happened five

years ago. So something’s evolving that I think had to evolve in TED,” says Holombo. But TEDx Santa Cruz has long been ahead of the curve on that front. For Luini, the question is “How can we work within the framework of TED to showcase the best of what Santa Cruz has to offer, but sort of push a little bit? Santa Cruz is not just the pink umbrella guy and people going to the Boardwalk. So it’s a melting pot of how do we play with what Santa Cruz is, and what people think it is, and what TED is?” “We push the envelope,” says Miljkovic. “We have brilliant people with heart.” A great example is last year’s TEDx Santa Cruz talk by Jessica Delgado, a Santa Clara County attorney who as part of the Three Strikes Reform Project has freed 15 people serving life sentences

“How can we work within the framework of TED to showcase the best of what Santa Cruz has to offer, but sort of push a little bit? Santa Cruz is not just the pink umbrella guy and people going to the Boardwalk.” - JON LUINI <28 “We’re very direct about it,” she says of the group’s aim to kickstart conversation. This year’s speakers represent a wide range of expertise, from the man who literally wrote the book on radical collaboration, Jim Tamm, to Dr. David Haussler, who set the Human Genome Project in motion, to Tandy Beal, who is currently celebrating her 40th year bringing dance to Santa Cruz. Most on Holombo’s mind after the last couple of TED events she travelled to is climate change, a subject that will be addressed by Newton Harrison and Helen Mayer Harrison, the pioneering eco-art activists who founded the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UCSC. “For me, climate change has really come to the forefront,” says Holombo, “and the way we collaborate with each other, whether we’re really going to reach for and do the things we need to do. In my heart I say ‘I hope so.’ The cynic in me, the realist maybe, I’m a little shaken.” Which sets the stage for the most radical collaboration of all. “If you’re a realist, you better get in touch with your idealist,” she says. “And if you’re an idealist, you better get in touch with your realist.” TEDx Santa Cruz 2015 will be held Friday, April 24 at the Rio Theater, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $70; go to tedxsantacruz.org.

for nonviolent offenses. Delgado brought two of those men, Bilal Chatman and Dave Gomez, to the stage to tell their stories in a powerful presentation. “It was so amazing,” says Holombo. “I don’t know a lot of other TEDs that would have said ‘We’re going to have Jim Thomas from the Mermen doing an improvised soundscape behind two lifers and Jessica Delgado.” Even after their first event in 2011, the Santa Cruz team had other organizers coming up to them and saying that they captured the “heart” that other technically perfect TEDxs lacked. “I do think there’s something unique that we’re doing,” says Holombo. “I think it comes from the kind of people who choose to live in Santa Cruz. There is a certain counterculture heart to Santa Cruz, even though it’s become more mainstream. I think that people who come here are still drawn to that, and I think our core team is willing to curate to that specific edge.” This will be the first time TEDx Santa Cruz will be held at the Rio Theatre, and once again there will be a focus on sparking discussion after the talks themselves. One way is with the “Midtown Mingle,” for which the organizers reserved spaces at nearby restaurants for conference-goers. But the whole day is designed with audience discussion in mind, says Miljkovic, including intermissions strategically timed to allow for maximum cross-chatter.

hree years ago a group of young, ambitious musicians and artists converged on a mountaintop in Boulder Creek, and rocked the serene redwoods with three days of music and art. It was the first ever Do-ItOurselves Fest, or DIO Fest—the concept for which was conceived a mere three months prior—held at Camp Krem, a nonprofit that hosts recreation education and adventure

programs for children and adults with special needs, as it has since 1957. Around 400 people came out that first year to camp under the redwoods, dance barefoot to local banjo-plucking bands, screen-print T-shirts, and ultimately leave the place cleaner than they found it— reinforcing the rickety stage Camp Krem uses for talent shows while they were at it. And while the fest has grown

incrementally—they expect as many as 700 festival goers this year—it’s managed to stay true to an everdeepening network of San Lorenzo Valley and Santa Cruz roots. “The goal for us is not to grow it to be like Coachella or something like that,” says Stevee Stubblefield, 24, who founded the festival with Jonathan Lebeau, 25. “Our goal is to inspire people in other places that you don’t need permission to bring people

<34 other local gems like singer Kendra McKinley and the McCoy Tyler Band. Saturday includes 15-piece Lagos Roots AfroBeat Ensemble from Oakland and Mattson 2, a twopiece surf jazz group from Southern California, as well as Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra, Naked Bootleggers, and internationally renowned cellist Rushad Eggleston. Sunday ends with a DIO Friends & Family Jam. “If you can get the right people in the room to get excited about something and pool their resources, you can do something great,” says Stubblefield. “Because that first year, we really had nothing to go on.” That’s the DIO mentality in a nutshell, only that they did have something to go on—not a venture capitalist backing or really any seed money to speak of at all, but a network of musicians, friends and artists who were already getting together regularly, and an infinite supply of stoke. Most importantly, they had a place for the party: Camp Krem offered its 90-acre property. That they pulled that first year off at all is “a testament to just how beautiful the music community is in Santa Cruz, how many talented artists there are that are willing to be a part of it—they’re not just like ‘Hey, I’m going to show up for my set and get paid and get out of here,’” says Stubblefield. Even the rain last year, which Stubblefield says poured all through setup, didn’t crush the all-hands-ondeck mentality—it kind of just made it more fun. Everyone involved helped out, painting signs, unloading gear, engineering sound and more. “There are a lot of logistics that go into throwing an event like this,” says Stubblefield. “A lot of festivals will just contract out every last thing that they can, because that makes it easy for the promoters. We basically, at every moment that we can, try to find someone within the local area or within the region to help us make that happen,” he says. The Crepe Place will be running the bar, and their sponsor this year, Mountain Feed & Farm Supply, is providing steel pint mugs for every ticket, which helps cut down on single-use cups. In return, DIO Fest highlights the organizations, bands, businesses and even downtown Boulder Creek, on

its website and blog. “So in the end of the day we’re not only trying to be an event where everyone can come together one weekend out of the year, but foster this network of people that can also be connected with each other in their own right, or meet each other and do something some other time during the year,” he says. With the tagline “Life is better with music,” it only made sense for DIO Fest to double as a fundraiser for Camp Krem’s music enrichment program, and last year they raised around $5,000 for the program. “With the help and generosity of the DIO Fest crew, as well as the Goldman Foundation, we were able to purchase instruments, hire a full-time Music Program Director and a music therapist,” says Program Director Christina Krem, whose grandfather, Alex Krem, founded Camp Krem. “Music has always been an integral part of Camp Krem,” adds Krem. “We frequently observe how music breaks down the barriers that many of our campers face, regarding communication, verbal skills and social anxieties.” While he hears all the time that he should find a new, bigger location and throw a 10,000-person festival, Stubblefield says they’re just not interested—in the same way they’re not interested in paying some band the big bucks or letting an outside corporate sponsor come in and sell peanuts. Plus, they’ve found a good cause in Camp Krem, which Stubblefield and Lebeau remain active with in the off-season, including getting musicians to come up and play for the campers—a “rocking out” audience that, Stubblefield was touched to find out while playing their annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser, was more enthusiastic than your average bar crowd. Two alternating stages at this year’s festival feature an eclectic mix of bands, including Royal Jelly Jive, Steep Ravine, Foxtails Brigade and many more. “The whole thing is ultimately a very flow-driven, colorful collaboration between a salad of creative minds; again, reminding us all of the magic that happens when we work together,” says Emily Meeghan, artistic coordinator.

Guitars Not Guns

Songwriting contest makes music for at-risk youth possible BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

APRIL 15-21, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

hen funds are sparse, extra curriculars are the first to go—so, while playing the recorder is an archetypal memory for many adults, children today are less and less likely to experience the wonder of making their own musical notes at school. For that reason, the annual Songwriters Showcase at Britannia Arms in Capitola is joining forces with Guitars Not Guns, which brings music back to children. In its 13th year, the Songwriters Showcase is open to any unsigned songwriters in the area. It’s an opportunity to get to the core, says founder Ken Capitanich. “We’re trying to get people to take a good look at their songs,” says Capitanich. “There’s certain things that you can do to your songs to make it stronger—strong writing, strong hooks, good lyrics and how the music notes interact with the voices.” The preliminary rounds for this year’s showcase have been going since mid-February, with the three top-scoring contestants of each of the eight preliminary shows proceeding to the semifinals on April 21 and 28. The final round concludes May 5 with a raffle for a guitar from Boulder Creek Guitars to benefit Guitars Not Guns. It’s not about performance or

vocal talent, says Capitanich, and the industry-standard judges— local producers, studio owners and engineers—he’s recruited over the years are entirely focused on content. Getting local “closet musicians” out of their shell, says Capitanich, is the goal—but working hand-in-hand with community sponsors to further foster music-making is the inspiration. Mike Keller, president of the nonprofit Guitars Not Guns local chapter, says that giving children an alternative, something to focus their energy on, is hugely rewarding. Guitars Not Guns operates solely on self-motivation: at-risk youth from local organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters can get a free eight-week guitar course. If they complete the whole course, they get to keep the guitar. “Sometimes that’s the only way that you can reach a kid, maybe they’re not doing well in school or theyre just feeling like an outcast, not fitting in for whatever reason, and music can really change all that,” says Keller. “It helps the kids with their self esteem, it helps them grow personally. Info: Semi Final Rounds at 7 p.m. April 21 and 28. Britannia Arms, 110 Monterey Ave., Capitola. 464-2583.

TECH REFLECTIONS Peter Harris says he can do in an hour with digital photography what once took 30. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Photographer Peter Harris on going digital

H

andsomely framed wideformat prints from farflung travels appoint the office of photographer Peter Harris, whose day job as Studio Research Associate for UCSC’s Digital Arts allows him to ply his expertise with computerized imagery and über-tweaked digital printing. A huge color Epson printer, banks of specialized ink cartridges and oversized rolls of printer paper surround Harris’ tidy desks. “I used to be a Leica rangefinder man,” confesses the sartorially eccentric Harris, who favors bespoke shirts and black suspenders. An unlit cigar is always nearby. “But the Panasonic DMC GH-1 changeable lens camera and its 14-28mm zoom

lens changed all that,” he says, beaming. “Now my hand can reach inside the scene I’m shooting,” he says dramatically of the camera’s articulated viewfinder. This equipment allows Harris to pursue his recent passion for unobtrusive street and location photography, transmuted through an eye educated at both Cal Arts and the Rhode Island School of Design. The body of work he’s amassed in the past three decades is as intellectually witty and theoretically probing as it is visually engaging, i.e. cool to look at. “I try to document what I see, what makes it special,” he says. Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, Harris arrived here by way of Syracuse University. “We

BY CHRISTINA WATERS

moved to Santa Cruz in 1988 when my wife Karen got the job in the Lit department,” Harris says. “In 2000, I began as digital support for UCSC’s new electronic arts program. Around 2006, it became apparent that analog photography was becoming a thing of the romantic past. Now my role has become more of a digital imaging specialist.” A trained cellist, Harris has been hanging around photography most of his life. But a trip to China and Thailand, on a grant from Syracuse University, clarified his interests. “I did a lot of shooting around European colonial architecture on an island in China,” he recalls. The hodgepodge of building styles clustered into this 19th century Euro-ghetto stoked his love of

architecture. He admits that collecting every National Geographic printed since 1909 helped trigger his interest in ancient monuments. A complete convert to digital photography, Harris says he “loves the precision and control. You can see it immediately and isolate areas so clearly. What once took 30 hours to complete I can now do in an hour,” he says. And it’s much cheaper, he notes, eyes rolling in mock relief. “Shooting situations are much more fluid,” he says. “It changes the way I shoot. The articulated viewfinder is very powerful. It’s much less intrusive.” A current project called “Incidents of Travel” is based on 19th century travel books. “I’m very interested in applying 19th century display approach to what I’m doing now,” he says. Another series, a 12-plate book with essay entitled “Meta-Tourism: is viewable on therealpeterharris.com. “After my second extended trip to Europe I became fascinated with transit hubs—airports, museums, train stations, and archaeological sites.” London, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Berlin, Rome, Budapest—the usual suspects—served themselves up for his lens. Harris himself isn’t sure just how to understand some of his most recent work, but he insists that curating around core ideas is key. “All the photographs have been taken,” he laments. He’s serious. There really are no new photographic images. “The only thing that saves you as a photographer today is being able to isolate a group of them and wrap them in a narrative,” Harris says. “That allows you to isolate your work from all the rest of the crap.” But he still hunts for haunting images. “You look and look and look, and have to jump out and get the shot. I stay ready. And as I get older I’m more focused,” he says. We both laugh at the pun. What next? “Well, I’ve promised myself that this summer I’m going to sit down and edit several decades of work,” he moans. “I need to locate the good stuff. Sort them, print them, write about them.” And then? “And then return to Turkey,” he says, grinning with relish. We while away another hour looking through his portfolios on the northern light of Holland and California vernacular architecture. “I’m not shooting for other people, I’m shooting for me.”

PARLOR WITH A PUNCH Janis Ian with her custom ‘parlor-size’ guitar from Santa Cruz Guitar Company. PHOTO: GERARD VIVEIROS

Society’s Child Returns Janis Ian on Godzilla haikus and Tom Paxton BY CAT JOHNSON one has a photo of Godzilla crushing a building and reads, The loneliness here / is unimaginable / only I exist. “I keep asking people to send me Godzilla haikus,” Ian says. “But they send me haikus about myself and Godzilla, [which is] kind of weird.” An artist who has been in the spotlight for five decades, Ian has the professional musician thing down pat. She’s friendly but direct, intensely serious and throw-yourhead-back funny. In a recent post on her Facebook page, she gave a 2,500 word narrative of the days running up to her departure for this tour. It’s a belly-laughinducing read that illuminates her rich sense of humor—a trait she attributes to her lineage. “I’m Jewish,” she says. “We

were kind of brought up to see the humor in things—otherwise we’ll die from it.” Celebrated for her songwriting and magnetic stage presence, Ian is also an outstanding guitarist, and she has a Santa Cruz Guitar Company signature model to prove it. “I learned to play a very clean guitar,” says Ian, who was brought up on Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and Odetta. “As I started soloing, I learned to leave things out. It’s more impressive to play less.” For this tour, Ian is performing with folk icon Tom Paxton who is retiring this year. The two share the stage, singing and playing on each other’s songs. They’re joined by Celtic musician Robin Bullock who adds masterful guitar playing

Janis Ian and Tom Paxton perform at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22 at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $29/gen, $45/gold. 423-8209.

J

anis Ian is a natural writer. In addition to being a Grammy Award winning songwriter, she’s also written a children’s book, short stories, journal entries about the ups and downs of life as a Jewish lesbian, independent musician, and now she’s taken to writing Godzilla haikus. The Godzilla thing started years ago when Ian would pick up Godzilla souvenirs from Japan for her spouse, Patricia Snyder. When she was sent a haiku about Godzilla, Ian posted it on her Facebook page and started looking for more. The project soon took on a life of its own and Ian posted as many Godzilla haikus as she could find. When she couldn’t find any more, she started writing them herself. She has now posted more than 300. A recent

and a third harmony. When asked if she still enjoys touring, Ian says she loves the shows, loves her fans, and feels good about what she’s doing. The downside is that it’s tiring. “No matter what you do, you’re sitting in a van for four to eight hours a day or you’re sitting in airports waiting,” she says. “Who wants to live like that? The older I get, the less I want to do that.” Before Ian was a veteran of the music industry, she was a 13-year-old kid whose 1966 hit song “Society’s Child (Baby I’ve Been Thinking)” was removed from radio station playlists for its portrayal of an interracial relationship. After the song’s release, Ian found herself on the receiving end of heckling, hate mail and death threats. After years of not performing “Society’s Child” live, Ian put it back into her show eight years ago because a lot of Vietnam vets were requesting it. Radio stations in the U.S. wouldn’t play the song, but it was played regularly on Armed Forces Radio. “The song is so acceptable now,” says Ian. “It’s amazing, it’s great.” Ian is quick to acknowledge, however, that racism is still an explosive issue. “It’s unfortunate, but those kinds of ideas become ingrained and people pass them down to their children,” she says. “Children don’t start out selfish and they don’t start out hating. They really need to learn that from somebody.” Ian’s show closer is a song called “I’m Still Standing Here.” She started the song in Australia 12 years ago, but finally “got the verses where she wanted them” last year. The hook reflects Ian’s resilience, her desire for peace, and the simple brilliance of her songwriting: I want to rest my soul / be where it can grow without fear / another line another year / I’m still standing here. “One of the advantages of being an older writer is that you know when to stop,” she says. “You know what to leave out, and you know not to push that river.”

FILM

HERITAGE RECLAIMED Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds in Simon Curtis’ ‘Woman in Gold’.

All Verklempt APRIL 15-21, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Emotional journey of restitution in ‘Woman In Gold’ BY LISA JENSEN

54

O

ne of the most interesting aspects of the film Woman In Gold, is a subtle thread running through the story about immigrants and their contribution to the richness of American culture. The film’s title comes from a famous painting by acclaimed Viennese artist Gustav Klimt, the subject of a contest of wills between the Austrian government and a determined Austrian Jewish woman, repatriated to Los Angeles, who claims the painting was stolen from her family by the Nazis. But this true story plays out among succeeding generations of Americanized expatriates infused with an Old World sense of community and an American thirst for justice. A couple of years ago, director Simon Curtis proved he knows how

to tell a true story with plenty of juice in his charming My Week With Marilyn. Working here from a script by Alexi Kaye Campbell, he keeps the film’s focus on one remarkable woman, Maria Altmann, portrayed in the film by the great Helen Mirren. Her campaign for restitution is not about the value of the painting (considerable as it is); it’s a way for her to shine the light of truth on a disturbing chapter of Austrian history, while coming to terms at last with her own traumatic past. In the irresistible opening moments, we see skilled hands preparing and applying tiny sheets of delicate gold leaf to a magnificent portrait. The artist is Klimt, and his subject is Adele Bloch Bauer (Antje Traue), whose portrait will ever after be known as “Woman In Gold.” The scene shifts to 1998 Los

Angeles, where 81-year-old Maria (Mirren) is delivering the eulogy for her recently deceased sister— from whom she has just inherited several boxes of family papers and mementos. Leaving the graveside, she casually asks a lifelong family friend if her son is still a lawyer. Enter E. Randol (Randy) Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds). His grandfather was the famed transplanted Viennese composer Arnold Schoenberg, but Randy is purebred Angelino, trying to get a foothold at a prestigious law firm to support his wife (Katie Holmes) and baby. He’s not interested in the case at first, but he’s grudgingly impressed by Maria’s ironic humor and grit (a widow, she still operates her own chic dress shop). When she tells him the subject of the painting was her “Aunt Adele,”

commissioned by her uncle, and that the two families lived together in Vienna until the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, Randy researches the recent formation of the Restitution Committee in Vienna (supposedly to make reparations, although he thinks it’s mostly for publicity). He decides to go to Vienna to find the will in which Adele allegedly donated the Klimt painting and others to the Belvedere Museum. And while Maria is not eager to confront the ghosts of her past, she decides to go with him for the sake of her beloved aunt. Their trip to Vienna (aided by investigative journalist Hubertus Czernin, played by Daniel Bruhl) entwines with flashbacks to Maria’s past. Scenes from her happy girlhood and wedding amid Vienna’s glitterati play against the Nazi invasion of their city and home, her wrenching departure from her parents, and her harrowing escape from the city as a new bride with her opera-singer husband, Fritz (Max Irons). Maria’s present-day adversaries include representatives from the Belvedere and the Austrian government, who don’t want “The Mona Lisa of Vienna” to go elsewhere. But they lose some of their smug certainty, when, back in the States, Randy finds a loophole through which to sue the Republic of Austria in the U.S. Supreme Court. The filmmakers resort to occasional Hallmark moments (some overly cute, feisty dialogue for Maria; Randy’s predictable meltdown when Maria wants to give up). But the movie mostly succeeds as a fascinating glimpse into 20th-century Viennese art and culture. It also ponders the ways in which family and community ties (the New York gallery where the painting ends up is owned by the son of another Austrian expat, cosmetics giant Estée Lauder), span diverse cultures and generations. WOMAN IN GOLD *** (out of four) With Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl, and Tatiana Maslany. Written by Alexi Kaye Campbell. Directed by Simon Curtis. A Weinstein Company release. Rated PG-13. 109 minutes.

NOW PLAYING CINDERELLA Disney’s live-action reboot isn’t quite as fresh as last year’s Maleficent. The production values are luscious, and director Kenneth Branagh imbues the story with humor, tension, and emotional complexity. But Linda Woolverton, who wrote Maleficent, comes from a generation of women who grew up chafing against the passivity of Disney cartoon heroines. Chris Weitz, the scriptwriter here, provides personalities for both his heroine, and her Prince, but he doesn’t have the same feminist fire; he’s content to tell the same old story in much the same old way. Still, what it lacks in innovation, the film makes up for in sheer loveliness, performed by an engaging cast. (PG) 112 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. DANNY COLLINS Al Pacino stars as a past-his-prime ’70s rocker with a chance to get a grip on his wayward life after he discovers an undelivered letter written to him 40 years ago by John Lennon. Annette Bening, Jennifer Garner, Bobby Cannavale and Christopher Plummer co-star for writer-turned-director Dan Fogelman (he wrote Crazy Stupid Love and The Guilt Trip). (R) 106 minutes. THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Shailene Woodley

and Theo James return as Tris and Four in this second installment of the dystopian future trilogy based on the popular book series by Veronica Roth. Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their fiercely class-based society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (Saved FGB) FOCUS Will Smith stars as a slick, seasoned con man who takes on a sexy young blonde apprentice (Margot Robbie), but finds their working partnership complicated by romance in this comic caper adventure from co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love). (R) 105 minutes. FURIOUS 7 The untimely death of co-star Paul Walker midway through filming this installment was a blow to the series, but the action franchise roars on with this tale of a vendetta sworn against team leader Vin Diesel and his crew. Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and Walker are featured. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell also join the cast. (PG-13) 137 minutes. HOME A lovable purple alien from another world and a hip earth girl with a souped-up car become friends and allies in this family adventure comedy from DreamWorks Animation. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez provide voices. Tim Johnson (Antz; Over the Hedge) directs. (PG) 94 minutes. THE HUNTING GROUND The ongoing epidemic of rape on America’s college campuses is examined in this unflinching documentary from director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering (The Invisible War). The film explores the way institutions turn a blind eye to the “rape culture,” and the climate of official denial, the impact on victims and their families, and measures being taken in the fight for justice. (PG-13) 90 minutes. KUMIKO, THE TREASURE HUNTER This offbeat film festival favorite concerns a young Japanese woman (Rinko Kikuchi) in a mundane job in Tokyo who

finds an old VHS copy of the movie Fargo, and journeys to North Dakota to find the buried treasure depicted therein. David Zellner directs. (Not rated) 105 minutes. WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, co-creators of HBO cult hit Flight of the Conchords, take on vampire-obsessed pop culture in this comedy about bloodsucking roommates trying to keep up with the times—trends, technology, fashion, their zombie and werewolf rivals, and their daily dose of nourishment. (Not rated) 86 minutes. WHILE WE’RE YOUNG Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts star in this new comedy from Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale; Frances Ha) as a “middle aged” couple of New Yorkers (they’re in their 40s) on a collision course with upheaval and introspection when they are befriended by a hip, spontaneous younger couple (Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried). (R) 94 minutes. WHITE GOD In this allegorical Hungarian drama, a 13-year-old girl whose father drove off her pet dog becomes the leader of a pack of wild dogs that threatens the peace of the city. Kornél Mundruzcó directs. (R) 121 minutes. WOMAN IN GOLD Reviewed this issue. (PG-13) 109 minutes. (***)— Lisa Jensen. THE WRECKING CREW Denny Tedesco’s entertaining music documentary celebrates a loose aggregate of LA-based recording studio session musicians known to insiders as “The Wrecking Crew.” In the burgeoning West Coast pop music scene of the early 1960s, these were the players smart producers called in to lay down the basic groove under some of the best-known hit songs of the era (by artists like The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas, and Sonny and Cher). Tedesco’s film honors these unsung heroes (including his late father, guitarist Tommy Tedesco, and fascinating female bass guitarist Carol Kaye) with the recognition they deserve. (PG) 95 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FOOD & DRINK get raucous in a chic setting. Soif is not your own private living room. If you can’t shut up and respect the speaker, then leave. There were plenty of other people at that event who had also paid $20 a head, and it wasn’t to hear you being loud and obnoxious. You know who you are.

GROWING LIKE WEEDS A new series of farm dinners begins on June 28 at Watsonville’s atmospheric Lonely Mountain Farm. Chef Curtis Valdez pairs up with Alfaro Family Vineyards for the first event. On August 16 Santos Majano (of Discretion Brewing, and formerly of Soif) will prepare something seasonal and very local, and the series wraps up on October 4 with a special dinner prepared by Brad Briske, who cooks at La Balena after having warmed up in the kitchen of Gabriella and Main Street Garden Cafe. Tons of culinary talent will be showcased at these choice summertime dining events. Plan to attend at least one of them! For more details, check lonelymountainfarm.com.

A WORD TO WINE ROOKIES

TREAT OF THE WEEK

Last week a highly informative and entertaining talk by an expert on Hungarian wines was ruined for many of us because some (obviously inexperienced) participants thought their $20 fee entitled them to drink fast, talk loud, and take selfies throughout the Q&A session. Wrong! A wine workshop is not just a winetasting where you and your friends

Well as far as Lisa and I are concerned, it has to be the userfriendly Strawberry Shortcake Cookie (more like a scone) from Gayle’s. Studded with fresh strawberries and lightly dusted with sugar, this delicious mid-morning treat (about $3) is a reason to linger at the lively bakery and gossip, uh, engage in enlightened intellectual debate.

Mighty Leaf Radicchio from Dirty Girl Produce, wine etiquette fail, and a treat from Gayle’s BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

he enlightened growers of Dirty Girl are always my second stop at the Saturday Farmers Market on the Westside. There, amidst the gleaming globes of new onions, the deep verdigris-hued kale and flouncy fingers of carrot lay something new. Radicchio. Oh, we know about chicories, but these were something tantalizingly out of the ordinary. Radicchio Rosso di Treviso—pale pink heads the size of a Viking’s fist, containing loosely coiled, beautifully marbleized pink and green swirled leaves. A handwritten sign invited me to braise

this lovely bitter spring green. And so I took two small heads home with me. One of them—chopped into thin ribbons—found its way into that evening’s marinara sauce, adding a welcome piquancy to every bite of rich, tomato-sweet sauce. We both nodded. Yes! This is the new secret heart of future pasta sauces. A few nights later, the second head was also cut into shreds and braised in olive oil, garlic and a few splashes of chicken broth. It served as the side green for roast steelhead. It was incredible; like baby bok choy on steroids, edgy and bitter, yet tender and appealing. Not too bitter, just

enough to let you know that it was more assertive than cooked spinach. I am now an unrepentant chicory braiser. (My first stop, by the way, is always Companion Bakeshop and/or H&H fishmongers.)

The Santa Cruz Farmers Market will host a May 10 celebration at the Scotts Valley setting. The $88 tickets treat to you a meal featuring the talent of Companion Bakeshop, along with special bubbly from Equinox Wine. The brunch includes a tour of Stone Meal Farm along with farm manager Thomas Herzog. Food—fruit, cheese, salad, biscuits, asparagus, salmon and farm eggs, plus Meyer lemon pound cake, oh my!—atmospheric farm vibes, sparkling wine, all to support the Santa Cruz Farmers Market’s educational efforts.

visited the Capitola Mall recently to check out the newly launched Third Fridays Walking Art Tour, and was surprised to find an impressive assortment of artwork from local artists. The mall was filled with people having a very colorful time, and Dawn Teall of the Regional Artisans Association, who is instrumental in organizing Third Fridays, was thrilled with the turnout. For a minimal fee, one can do a bit of wine tasting as well at these events. Les Wright from 37th Parallel Winery was there with his fine wines, and I bought a bottle to take along to a friend’s house for dinner. Five of us made short work of Wright’s 2012 Sangiovese ($25) over a meal of pasta and lobster salad. The wine’s aromatic nuances of herbs, plus flavors of cherries, licorice and fruity-strawberryplum, are added deliciousness to this easy-drinking red wine. “37th Parallel exists because we want to make great wine,” says Wright. “We have never wanted to own a vineyard, but want to be free to locate and develop relationships with growers of great fruit in different appellations in California. We strive to stay true to the varietal.” Right now, 37th Parallel, located in Scotts Valley, is having a sale on all their wines—and if they’re sold out of the Sangiovese, you can get some on their next release. 37th Parallel is set to do a winemaker’s dinner at Lago di Como at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April

29. The restaurant is at 21490 East Cliff Drive, in Santa Cruz—and the six-course dinner, paired with six different wines, is up on their website at lagodicomoristorante.com. Capitola Mall’s next Walking Art Tour is from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, April 17 when 37th Parallel will be pouring again. Info at 37th-parallel.com.

DARE TO PAIR The sixth annual Dare to Pair Food & Wine Competition is on April 26, and Cabrillo College’s culinary students have teamed up with 12 wineries to create delicious dishes for you to savor as you pair each one with a special wine. As one of the judges for the event, I’m looking forward to tasting imaginative food and excellent wines from Surf City Vintners. But it’s always hard to decide who takes home the grand prize for the Best Pairing. The event is noon to 5 p.m., Sunday, April 26 in the Surf City Vintners complex at 334 Ingalls St., Santa Cruz. Food and wine tasting is from noon to 3 p.m.; 2:30-5 p.m. is an after-party with music by Depot Dog; and 4:30 p.m. is the awards ceremony. Tickets are $60 per person. For info and to purchase tickets visit daretopair.org or call 435-3000.

PASSPORT EVENT Sante Arcangeli Family Wines will be pouring at Cantine in Aptos Village for Passport on Saturday, April 18. For info on Passport visit scmwa.com.

GT: Your website says you offer a new style of beer experience.

What beers do you have on tap?

A European-style lager focuses on 100 percent barley malts as opposed to corn and rice and other simpler sugar sources. We’re going for a traditional European feel, all natural carbonation, imported German and Czech hops and special yeast strands from the Czech Republic. The other part of it is, we not only make the beer for a quick turnaround, we also have these traditional horizontal aging tanks for the maturation process to occur slowly and naturally. You don’t find that often here in American draft beer. The taste—for example the On Point Czech Lager—has a fresh nuttiness to it, a caramel-y, sweet finish.

Some of our flagship beers are going to be our Czech-style lager, Czech-style pilsner, amber lager, and one version or another of a black lager. Then we’re going to have hefeweizen, either a light, dark, or strong, as well as some hoppy alternatives and some type of porters and stouts. We want to have a nice variety. Right now we have five beers on tap. We want to get up to eight beers in the next couple weeks. INFO: 1030 41st Ave., Santa Cruz, 350-0253, nubobrew.com

anta Cruz’s beer scene continues to explode with New Bohemian Brewery, which opened its doors on March 21. Rather than focus on IPAs, stouts and pale ales—though they do that too—their emphasis is on European-style lagers. We talked to Dan Satterthwaite, who co-owns the brewery with Mike Hochleutner, about brewing European-style lagers—something he’s been doing for more than 12 years. New Bohemian Brewery is also having a one-off “Spring Fest� at the Roaring Camp Bret Harte Hall on May 1 with a lot of special beers and foods. Tickets are available at nubobrew.com.

SATTERTHWAITE: We want to be educational for our customers. Not only do we want people to get to know our products, we want people to come in and see brewing in action: see people sowing the green, adding the hops, smelling the boil, and listening to all the sounds of the brewery. You can actually stand on the balcony on the second floor and look down and you can see everything clear as day.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES PLUTO RETROGRADE, ARIES NEW MOON, LYRID METEOR SHOWERS As the Lyrid meteors, radiating from the star Vega in the Harp constellation, begin showering heaven and earth with light, Pluto, planet of transformation (or die) turns stationary retrograde (Thursday, April 16), 15 degrees Capricorn. Retrogrades have purpose, allowing humanity time to review, reassess, research and reinvent while returning to previous situations. Retrogrades are times of inner activity, seeds sown in bio-dynamically prepared soil. Pluto retrograde is the most serious and resolute of retrogrades—a pure tincture, or, as in homeopathy, a “constitutional” touching the essences of all that matters. Pluto offers deep insight into confusion or puzzlement and areas where transformation is still incomplete. It’s valuable to have one’s astrology chart to follow what area of life the major planets—

especially Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto—are influencing. These outer planets have long-term and lasting effects on our psyche, inner/outer life events, how people see us and how we see and process our world. Pluto, retrograde for five months (until Sept. 24) offers deep earthquakes of change, awakens humanity to the task of building (Capricorn) the new culture and civilization, flailing our inner world about, deepening us until we transform and do things differently. Pluto is an unrelenting teacher. New moon (29 Aries) is Saturday, April 18. With the personality-building keynote, “Let form again be sought.” Mars anchors the new creative fires of Aries into our world. The New Group of World Servers participates together in the new moon festival, while also preparing for the Taurus Wesak, Buddha Full Moon Festival (May 3). Join us everyone.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A new and surprising state of identity affecting everyone, especially you, Aries, occurs this week with Pluto retrograde and the Aries new moon. Your days and nights are overshadowed by this regenerating energy. Use it with knowledge and care. Act only on harmless feelings. Tend to feelings by exercising, reading and resting more. Don’t become difficult and authoritative. Protect others through kindness.

As Pluto retrogrades this week, you turn toward home seeking what needs renovating, redecorating and reimagining. The garden first. New vines, perhaps, especially night-blooming ones—jasmine and moon flowers. Beauty encourages and helps you cooperate more. You want to harmonize the intensity. Know that the key to successful outcomes is intention. Always ask what your intentions are. Ask others their intentions, too.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

While returning to a time, friend, event, city, state, or idea from the past, you ponder on spiritual realities and attempt to conquer tasks not quite completed. These bring forth revelations, next steps, forgiveness and closure. You’re called to tend to others, perhaps many, in healing crisis. Appreciate everything you’re asked to do. These are directions for further learning. Consider different paths forward.

You want to be sensible and practical, forgetting all the deep stuff for a while, applying yourself fully to daily needs in order to feel stability. You begin to weigh dayto day responsibilities with thoughts on how to include contemplation and retreat. The Forces of Restoration are out and about this month. They will help you. Ask them. Only to you do I reveal this.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of April 15, 2015

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Some things have outlived their usefulness. Thank them, releasing them to their next reality. Mars (action) and Mercury (thoughts) in your 12th, ask you to consider a place of contemplation, poise and quiet for a month. Energies are affecting you from all directions. When challenges appear you want to step aside like a tai-chi master letting energies flow into elements. Tai-chi, calligraphy and archery are good disciplines for you, the brothers, ruled by Venus.

You have moments of peace and freedom. And then a new reality emerges and feelings of freedom and fun disappear and you assume high-maintenance exhaustive work and you ask (your mantram) “Why me, God?” and then you set about tending to what’s at hand and realize your life suddenly became easier through acceptance and you feel pleasure recognizing your skills and don’t think you’re immovable, for you’re just assessing things—in your own time.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You attempt to remain hidden even while in the world serving others. It’s a paradox of Cancer that you must always be both. In all actions there’s always the desire to include the opposite. You have the intention to balance inner and outer, public and private, seen and unseen (of which you both are and are not). Don’t be confused by this. Something new occurs in your groups.

You step away from the world for moment, focus on family needs and suddenly you have more energy facing those you love. Tenderness sweeps through your heart. You want to care for them in ways great and small. However, you must tend to self first. Have a protein-filled breakfast. The quality of our early morning foods equals the amount and quality of energy we have each day. We can train ourselves to eat differently. It’s simply a useful Capricorn way toward success. “Usefulness” is a Cap word.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

If emotions aren’t being expressed then something will occur (or someone may appear) that brings them out into the open, challenging you to share how you feel. Is a sense of abandonment being felt? Is your present home a bit lonely and/or do you feel a past sadness and loss? Throughout what’s occurring there’s a pendulum swinging here, there, past and present. Someone misses you.

Be very observant of your communication. Be aware also of those you’re not communicating with, and why. Offer everyone kindness and equality. Toward those opposing you, anger may erupt. Assess what is Right Relations. Don’t allow your anger or actions to be out of control. It could be dangerous. Feelings may explode unexpectedly. Stand back and observe. The energies are quite complex. Be in charge quietly.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Be extra cautious and aware. You’re sensitive, restless and hungry. Try as you might, it can’t be soothed by chocolate or ice cream. Ask yourself if what you want is a past memory, a present need or a future reality you must create? Nurture all plans with kindly patience. Daily life can feel difficult, transforming, yet regenerative. Always seek forgiveness. Step away for a while. A long trip elsewhere would be good.

Notice the energetic shift from fire (Aries) to earth (Taurus). Call upon the fire of spirit and the sustenance of earth to help heal you in the coming weeks. Be truthful in all matters. If you don’t understand, ask for clarification. Allow no one’s reality to become greater than your reality, including your needs. Love comes slowly and from far away. And then, all of a sudden, it appears again! Help is close by as a whisper.
