OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Is green good enough?

Certainly this is a community that has long been ahead of the curve when it comes to ecoconsciousness, and let’s all raise a wheatgrass shot to that. But does our past success lead to a certain amount of complacency—a feeling that, not to worry, Santa Cruz is doing A-OK by the Earth?

Unfortunately, any movement that doesn’t innovate is doomed to irrelevancy. The good news is that Santa Cruz has all kinds of eco-innovators to look to for inspiration, and this Green Issue will introduce readers to a few of them.

For instance, we’re all pretty down with recycling around here, but some artists and businesses are taking it a step further by embracing upcycling, which turns the recycling process into an art form. There’s also a story about local author and radio host Michael Olson’s “2x2 Pledge,” a creative way to remind everyone how the smallest gestures can make a huge impact. And while there’s nothing new about organic produce in Santa Cruz, what the SH/OP group is doing with it is a different kind of “green” story—and the most moving one I’ve read in quite some time. Here’s to those in our community who are taking environmental consciousness to the next level.

The July 1 article “Getting the Boot” highlights a long-standing problem in Santa Cruz, the lack of parking.

Sometimes this can be more than an inconvenience. I was recently called for jury duty, told to report at 1 p.m.; my summons including a parking pass at 701 Ocean St. However, this merely allowed me to park in certain spots if one was available, with no guarantee that any would be available. The nearby street parking is one hour to two hours only, useless for voir dire. So I parked in a mixed commercial/residential area which had no time limits and walked about 15 minutes to the court house. One of my fellow panel members told me that she arrived at the county building about an hour early and had her lunch in the car, just to make sure she got parking.

You might think that there would be reserved parking at least for the people on an actual jury. There is none.

NO FACTS In reply to “Tabloid Fodder” (Letters, 7/1): I am surprised that someone who faults

PHOTO CONTEST

another writer’s style, limits and laziness would rely on a long list of fallacies to try to make his point. Mr. Culligan, even if every word you say in your criticism were true, I would be unreasonable to believe it since you offered no public facts. Your speculation about motives suggests that you either have a camera in the editor’s office or you simply make up your own fantasy evidence to support your conclusion. It is obvious that the writer you fault made his points clear to you regardless of any lack of skill. I can reasonably assume that you did not offer a strong argument, that is, dispute your opponent with contrary facts, because you didn’t have any.

You rely on a diatribe, not evidence.

SURF RESPONSIBLY

RUN FOR A TRAIL

The New Leaf Community Market on 41st Avenue is teaming up with Ventana Surfboards to sell a line of environmentally friendly surf clothes, with 5 percent of sales going to ocean conservation groups like Save Our Shores and Surfrider. The market sells Ventana beanies, shirts, sweatshirts, surf wax, and leashes, just inside the door.

Kudos to Ron Goodman, who organizes the 12K/4K “Run by the Sea” set for Aug. 23.

Now each entry fee will go toward building a new rail trail north of Wilder Ranch along Highway 1. It may not sound like a lot, but each runner represents 4 inches of trail, which eventually will be a 32-mile paved trail along the coastal rail corridor. Check out runbythesea.org.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

How can you fulfill your potential as an Aries? What strategies will help you become the best Aries you can possibly be? Now is an excellent time to meditate on these riddles. One of my Aries readers, Mickki Langston, has some stellar tips to inspire you: 1. One of your greatest assets is your relentless sense of purpose. Treasure it.

Stay connected to it. Draw on it daily. 2. Love what you love with pure conviction, because there is no escaping it.

3. Other people may believe in you, but only sometimes.

That’s why you should unfailingly believe in yourself. 4.

It’s your duty and your destiny to continually learn more about how to be a leader. 5. Don’t be confused by other people’s confusion. 6. Your best friend is the Fool, who will guide you to laughter and humility when you need it most, which is pretty much all of the time.

The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to acquire a new title. It’s quite possible that a person in authority will confer it upon you, and that it will signify a rise in status, an increase in responsibility, or an expansion of your clout. If for some reason this upgrade doesn’t occur naturally, take matters into your own hands. Tell people to refer to you as “Your Excellency” or “Your Majesty.” Wear a name tag that says “Deputy Director of Puzzle-Solving” or “Executive Vice President of Fanatical Balance and Insane Poise.” For once in your life, it’s OK to risk becoming a legend in your own mind.

P.S. It wouldn’t be a bad time to demand a promotion— diplomatically, of course, in the Libran spirit.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

Between now and July 22, your password and mantra and battle cry is “serendipity.” To make sure you are clear about its meaning, meditate on these definitions: a knack for uncovering surprising benefits by accident; a talent for stumbling upon timely help or useful resources without searching for them. Got that? Now I’ll provide clues that should help you get the most out of your lucky breaks and blessed twists: 1. Be curious and receptive, not lackadaisical and entitled. 2. Expect the unexpected.

Vow to thrive on surprises. 3. Your desires are more likely to come true if you are unattached to them coming true. But you should formulate those desires clearly and precisely.

While making a long trek through the desert on a camel, British author Somerset Maugham passed the time by reading Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time.

After finishing each page, Maugham ripped it out and cast it away. The book weighed less and less as his journey progressed. I suggest that you consider a similar approach in the coming weeks, Taurus. As you weave your way toward your next destination, shed the accessories and attachments you don’t absolutely need. Keep lightening your load.

GEMINI May21–June20 “I have gathered about me people who understand how to translate fear into possibility,” writes John Keene in his story “Acrobatique.” I’d love to see you do the same, Gemini. From an astrological perspective, now is a favorable time to put your worries and trepidations to work for you. You have an extraordinary capacity to use your doubt and dread to generate opportunities. Even if you go it alone, you can accomplish minor miracles, but why not dare to think even bigger? Team up with brave and resourceful allies who want to translate fear into possibility, too.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

When novelist John Irving begins a new book, his first task is to write the last line of the last page. Then he writes the second-to-last line. He continues to work backward for a while until he has a clear understanding of the way his story will end. Right now, Cancerian, as you hatch your next big phase of development, I invite you to borrow Irving’s approach. Visualize in detail the blossoms that will eventually come from the seeds you’re planting. Create a vivid picture of the life you will be living when your plans have fully ripened.

“Who is it that can tell me who I am?” asks King Lear in the Shakespeare play named after him. It’s a painful moment. The old boy is confused and alarmed when he speaks those words. But I’d like to borrow his question and transplant it into a very different context: your life right now. I think that you can engender inspirational results by making it an ongoing meditation. There are people in a good position to provide you with useful insights into who you are.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

You have cosmic permission to lose your train of thought, forget about what was so seriously important, and be weirdly amused by interesting nonsense. If stress-addicts nag you to be more responsible, tell them that your astrologer has authorized you to ignore the pressing issues and wander off in the direction of nowhere in particular. Does that sound like a good plan?

It does to me. For now, it’s your sovereign right to be a wise and innocent explorer with nothing much to do but wonder and daydream and play around.

What’s hard but important for you to do? What are the challenging tasks you know you should undertake because they would improve your life? The coming days will be a favorable time to make headway on these labors. You will have more power than usual to move what has been nearly impossible to move. You may be surprised by your ability to change situations that have resisted and outfoxed you in the past. I’m not saying that any of this will be smooth and easy. But I bet you will be able to summon unprecedented amounts of willpower and perseverance.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Even the most provocative meme cannot literally cause the Internet to collapse from overuse. It’s true that photos of Kim Kardashian’s oiled-up butt spawned a biblical flood of agitated responses on social media.

So did the cover shot of Caitlyn Jenner in Vanity Fair and the YouTube video of a tiny hamster noshing tiny burritos and the season-five finale of the TV show Game of Thrones. But none of these starbursts unleashed so much traffic that the Web was in danger of crashing. It’s too vast and robust for that to ever happen. Or is it? I’m wondering if Virgos’ current propensities for high adventure and rollicking melodrama could generate phenomena that would actually, not just metaphorically, break the Internet. To be safe, I suggest you enjoy yourself to the utmost, but not more than the utmost.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Franz Kafka produced three novels, a play, four short fiction collections, and many other stories. And yet some of his fellow writers thought he was uncomfortable in expressing himself. Bertolt Brecht said Kafka seemed perpetually afraid, as if he were being monitored by the cops for illicit thoughts. Milena Jesenská observed that Kafka often wrote like he was sitting naked in the midst of fully-clothed people. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to shed such limitations and inhibitions from your own creative expression.

MODERN OLDERHOOD THE DOG FRIENDS One never knows what the group you call family will consist of. :H DUH DOO VR IDU à XQJ IURP RXU natural extended family that in a crisis they could not do much. From 100 miles away or more they can’t wrap their arms around you, make a pot of tea, call the doctor, or hold your hand. For those very important and immediate comforts, you need trusted friends next door, around the block or a quick car ride away.

Sweet Dreams Begin With A Healthy Mattress

And you need them to love you.

Accept you.

I met The Dog Friends quite by accident when I went to visit a client selling the last of her legacy. She was feeling poorly; at 80+ she had some little health challenges.

At her table when I arrived were her “dog friends,� women she had collected over the years who loved West Highland White Terriers.

My client met one of her friends at the Aptos Parade when she exclaimed: “I have a dog just like that !� They shared stories of their beloved dogs and after the parade said “where should we go next?� It was decided to go to the home of the new found friend.

That was the start of a long tradition until one day there were over 35 Westies and lots of strangers at her house ! Year after year the Dog Friends connected, adding more Dog Friends, owners of Westies they met through the San Francisco Bay West Highland White Terrier Club. Five women who have looked after each other for over 25 years.

Divorces, surgeries, car wrecks, blue days, family squabbles all bring the Dog Friends together as a solace to each other.

They bring smiles and laughter and perspective. And most important, trust and love and comfort.

It will come in handy when you look up and somehow are 80 or 90 and need a laugh.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: “GETTING THE BOOT” I used to go downtown all the time, but since they took away all the free parking, I take my money elsewhere. There are plenty of great businesses in this county that provide free parking to attract customers, they pay to maintain the parking from what their customers spend. The city wants me to pay for the privilege of spending my money downtown. No way.

NEWS HARD PUSH Bill would give new rights to California midwives and the families they serve

JULY 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY BRAD KAVA

10

The Affordable Care Act has opened up health care to millions of new patients, but it has also made it more difficult to find doctors, particularly those specializing in delivering babies.

Because of high insurance rates and inconvenient hours, nine California counties don’t have an obstetrician, and more than a dozen others have fewer than two for every 10,000 women. Bridging that gap is one of the motives behind a bill going to the California Senate next week.

The other is helping to make childbirth more natural.

The bill, AB 1306, would allow the state’s 1,200 certified nurse midwives to continue to collaborate with doctors, but doesn’t require doctors to supervise them. It frees more of them to practice in birthing centers or homes. California is one of only six states in the country that hasn’t already done this.

Local midwives are thrilled with the proposal. Santa Cruz County has 12 midwives, one for each practicing obstetrician in town.

Monterey County has only one.

“For me, it’s not about saving money. It’s about saving lives,” says Santa Cruz midwife Timmi Pereira, who has delivered more than 3,000 babies in 39 years of practice at Dominican and Sutter hospitals.

While doctors are needed in the most complicated births, 90 percent of women don’t need surgical help, she says. The new legislation would also allow midwives to handle the basic drugs and sutures that are part of their training, without a doctor being there overseeing.

Midwives are also trained in preparing women for birth and labor with prenatal and preventive health care, and can work with women’s needs from adolescence to menopause. Until the early 1900s, births were assisted predominantly by women working as midwives. After the turn of the 20th century, doctors and hospitals took over the birthing industry, but over the past 40 years, midwives have again become a valued part of the process, helping women deliver babies naturally instead of with more risky Caesarean sections.

SCREEN TIME Kids on board the ship ‘Velocity’ get close to baby great white sharks last week.

South County Sharknado Sightings of great whites in Aptos aren’t killing tourism— they’re doing wonders for it BY MICAYELA KONVISER

I

n the movie Jaws, a great white shark terrorized a New England tourist town on a Fourth of July weekend and scared people off the beaches. But this past Independence Day weekend in Aptos, 15 great whites drew hundreds of tourists to the beach.

Seacliff State Beach, home of the concrete ship, was packed all weekend, despite the shark sightings. Some brave souls swam and a lot of others watched intently, cell phones in hand, trying to spot the steady smooth pace of ominous fins (as opposed to the dolphins common to the area, which bounce roundly up and down).

“We heard that there were sharks in the area,” says Kristi Avila, 39, of Los Banos, who brought her husband and two kids to the beach to spot them. “We saw the news clip and we decided to come and check it out. My son can’t wait for Shark Week, and so when this happened we were like ‘we have to go’ because he is really into sharks.”

Local whale watching and fishing company Stagnaro’s made Seacliff a stop on charter boat tours last week at the request of visitors, says owner Ken Stagnaro.

“They hear about it or see it in the news and so about half the trips last week have gone in there and actually seen the sharks,” he says.

“It’s kind of strange and different and fun at the same time, just something different to look at.”

Stagnaro says that it is rare for them to see sharks on their tours.

“Blue sharks are not uncommon to see out there in the summer months,” Stagnaro says. “But great white sharks are not something you see every day by any means. I’ve been doing this for close to 35 years now, and I’ve only seen great whites with my own eyes maybe 10 times or less.

So it’s not a common occurrence.”

Friday night there were around 20 people at the end of the pier looking for sharks. Many were talking about seven sharks which had been seen by Rick >13

“One came by, you can see the fins and the tail went and came by.

But most of the time it was just a dark shadow that swims by. People have been looking for them all day,” he says.

Scientists say warmer waters from El Niño may be a factor in bringing young, 1 to 2- year-old sharks that are only 6 feet long to shore here. Adults can grow up to 20 feet and weigh more than two tons.

“What’s significant is that they’re juveniles. They’re well north of where they’re typically found,” says Sean Van Sommeran of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation. “Rookery areas are typically known to be in, like, Baja, Southern California and this is the most northerly point you can see them in an assemblage like this. For juvenile white sharks up here, that’s a new thing.”

Van Sommeran says that while a shark attack is unlikely, he advises against swimming near them. “You wouldn’t want to go out and swim around off shore. There’s just no real reason for it. You probably could do it and die of hypothermia before a shark got anywhere near

you. If they’re several hundred pounds, they’re just not to be trifled with. The smaller ones aren’t dangerous. The 5-6 footers I don’t think are really dangerous, but once you get around 300-400 pounds there’s always room for mistakes.

You know that’s like a small child or something, it doesn’t take too much imagination,” says Van Sommeran.

Santa Cruz has shared the national shark spotlight with North Carolina, where seven people have been bitten by sharks in the last month. Fiftytwo people were bitten in the U.S. by sharks in 2014, more than half in Florida, according to the online International Shark Attack File.

There has never been a shark fatality in Santa Cruz. You can track many great whites that have been tagged at ocearch.org, an organization that tries to protect sharks.

Experts say that while the number of sharks has dropped by 30 percent in the past half century (some 2,000 great whites live off the California coast, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), the number of people swimming is going up, sparking more interactions.

Van Sommeran says that people’s attitudes toward sharks vary. “It

waxes back and forth between ‘sharks are these prehistoric homicidal devilfish,’ you know, to ‘oh they’re just peaceful docile critters,’ and no, they’re neither.

It’s something in the middle that is not going to conform to any of the brochures or Shark Week specials and that kind of thing.”

While there have been older sharks in the area routinely, seeing so many juveniles is rare, says Van Sommeran.

“A juvenile, their migration routes are actually kind of geared toward avoiding those big ones. I mean, if they overlap, then the big one eats the little one,” he says.

He also discounts a rumor of a larger, 18-foot shark sighting. From pictures he’s seen, the gam, frenzy or school of sharks (take your pick) are all small.

“Groups of white sharks like that have never been this far north,” he says. “We’ve seen individuals as early as 2011, but in terms of the big gaggles, assemblages of these sharks showing up like this, that’s unheard of. And then, them sticking to a site like this for such a long period again is unheard of for our area. That happens quite a bit in Southern California, Malibu, >16

NEWS BRIEFS REBUILD THE ART

BANKS FOR NOTHING A protest spearheaded by County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty and the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors has been picked up

by former Secretary of Labor and current columnist Robert Reich, who wrote an article on July 4 celebrating Santa Cruz County’s stance that has been picked up all over the country.

His column suggests that others follow Santa Cruz’s lead by not using banks that were punished for illegally manipulating currencies so that they profited while investors suffered. Supervisor Coonerty made the local motion to keep Santa Cruz’s $650 million coffers out of the hands of JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS for five years.

Reich wrote that the $5 billion in fines the banks will pay is

a slap on the wrist compared to what would happen if other governments followed Santa Cruz’s lead.

“But what if every county, city, and state in America followed Santa Cruz County’s example, and held the big banks accountable for their felonies?” wrote Reich, who works for the UC Chancellor’s office.

“What if all of us taxpayers said, in effect, ‘we’re not going to hire these convicted felons to handle our public finances. We don’t trust them?’

“That would hit these banks directly. They’d lose our business. Which might even cause them to clean up their acts,” he says. BRAD KAVA

There was sad news on the eve of what should have been a blissful new festival on June 4.

One of the central sculptures for the city’s Ebb and Flow celebration along the San Lorenzo River was vandalized before the night even began.

Now, artist Geoffrey Nelson wants to recreate the sculpture of a traditional Ohlone man in ceremonial garb that had been perched along the river’s pedestrian overcrossing. He’s seeking donations of at least $1,000 on GoFundMe.com.

The original sculpture was funded in part by the city council.

It was paired with an Ohlone

woman, which was not destroyed.

The two were built from heatmolded acrylic plates and had color-changing LED lights inside.

The headdress was made from recycled plastic bottles.

Nelson plans to make the new sculpture in time for the Museum of Art & History’s Glow Festival, on Oct. 16. The new one will have moving LEDs to simulate water flowing through the Ohlone man’s body.

Nationally, 34 percent of women have babies delivered surgically. In Santa Cruz, the number is 25 percent. In most cases, Cesareans, like any surgery, are more risky for the mother and can damage their ability to have natural childbirth later. In New Mexico, 33 percent of babies are delivered by a midwife, the highest percentage in the country. It’s 11 percent in California.

“Our doctors here have a philosophy of not intervening unless needed,” says Santa Cruz’s Pereira, 62, whose own two children were delivered by midwives. “Their specialty is in intervening when something goes wrong. But when you have a birth and everything is going right, what you really want to do is not intervene.”

That can mean a more active role for the mother in the birthing process.

“If she’s out of bed, or in the Jacuzzi, or maybe walking up and down stairs, she has a lot more chance of the baby moving down into her pelvis than if she’s stuck in bed with monitors on,” says Pereira.

But in cases where the baby is breech, or the mother or baby are having health issues, then surgery is the way to go, she says. Midwives, who make a third of what an obstetrician is paid (the Bureau of Labor statistics lists $70,000 annually for midwives versus $290,000 for obstetricians), are more available to more people, particularly in lower-income communities.

Greater access is one of the motivations behind the bill drafted by Assemblywoman Autumn Burke (D-Inglewood), whose daughter was delivered a year ago by a midwife.

“This is a commonsense measure that removes an onerous restriction on women’s access to health care,” Burke says. The bill passed the Assembly with a 78-1 vote in June and heads to the Senate’s Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee next week, where there is expected to be more debate about provisions that forbid nurse midwifes from sending patients to businesses they have an economic interest in.

“So much of the discussion isn’t even related to this practice,” says Allison Ruff, Burke’s capitol director. “We are cautiously optimistic that we can work it out. We are trying to open up access to health care for women who need it.”

Local midwives are showing the film The Mama Sherpas at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 10, with a talk about midwifery at the

Pacific Cultural Center. Donations for the movie, which was produced by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein, will go to the California Nurse-Midwives Association.

The movie takes on some of the misconceptions about surgical birth and the pressures some doctors put on mothers to choose that instead of a natural path. For example, a woman in the documentary is told that her vagina will be more attractive if she has surgery.

“You won’t care how you had this baby once she’s in your arms,” the woman says she was told by the same doctor trying to convince her to have a Cesarean. “He couldn’t have been more wrong,” she explains later.

Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Pacific Cultural Center, 1307 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz. Suggested donation $10-$25.

all the way down to San Onofre, and then Baja, California. But this far, the water is considered cold and not the best place to have a pup hanging around.”

The possibility of these sharks being here yearly is exciting to him.

“They may take off tomorrow, and we may not see them again for another 30, 40 years,” he says. “Or they could be here every summer, like they have been in Southern California for the last decade or so.

And that is awesome, because it’s less fuel money to come down here and look at white sharks than it is to drive an hour up the coast to Año Nuevo.”

While several of the people on the pier said that they would not be going in the water, Lifeguard Supervisor Eddie Rhee-Pizano says that there has not been a significant difference in the number of swimmers.

“It’s kind of the regular use,” says Rhee-Pizano. “We still have kayakers, stand-up paddlers. We don’t tend to get many long-distance swimmers in the Seacliff area. But yeah, nothing out of the ordinary.

The wildlife is still there. We still see otters and seals and stuff.”

Rhee-Pizano says there have been shark sightings in the past around the SS Palo Alto, one of 19 concrete ships built during World War I, but this time there have been more than usual.

“This is the first time we’ve had that many in a group off of Seacliff State Beach,” he says. “That’s a little bit different, that’s why we just permanently posted the signage advising that there’s been multiple shark sightings in the area.”

Rhee-Pizano says that the Junior Guard program that usually takes place at Seacliff is now happening less than a mile away at Rio Del Mar Beach. “Nothing has really changed down there, because we haven’t had any sightings or any activity down in that area,” he says.

One student saw the scare as an opportunity. Logan Mathew KirkWilliams, 10, from Capitola, is doing a report on sharks, and wanted to see one as a visual aid. “My mom said I could pick anything I want, and I chose sharks,” says KirkWilliams.

to this gallery and get combined with other objects to create works of art.”

Schoen was inspired to make his first guitar around 10 years ago. “I was driving down the freeway and I saw what looked like a guitar on the side of the road, but it actually was a catalytic converter with an exhaust pipe attached to it that had spun out from underneath a car. I pulled over, and at much risk, retrieved the object and took it home and turned it into a fully functional electric bass guitar,” he says.

Schoen named that first guitar “Wreck and Roll,” and went on to create more than a dozen more upcycled guitars over the years.

Schoen’s fans leave a lot of “interesting objects” for him at the gate of his gallery. “I got a set of old skis and ski poles that look like they were 100 years old,” he says. “Somebody left me a set of bocce balls a few months ago.

People leave their little contributions, and I really appreciate it … I have sort of an unconscious wish list of what I need, and I find it as time goes by. Those things show up.”

ver wondered where toilet seats go when they die? If they’re lucky, they go to Robbie Schoen.

Schoen, the director of the Felix Kulpa Gallery on Elm Street in Santa Cruz, is also an artist who makes most of his work from upcycled materials. He has turned everything from toilet seats to tires into functional guitars.

Upcycling is taking an object that is going to be thrown away and making it into something of value. Schoen describes it as similar to recycling, but a little bit better. “When you take something from garbage to art, I think that is an upgrade,” he says. “It’s a slightly higher category of recycling. It’s a classy transformation.”

Schoen never knows where the materials for his next piece will come from.

“Today somebody came in and brought me a box with a bunch of rusty things.”

Schoen says. “It’s worthless to them, but to me it was a treasure chest. That’s what upcycling is to me, where things that look like they belong in the dump come

<19 Schoen traces the history of upcycling back to “the teens or the ’20s, when artists like Marcel Duchamp were doing similar things.

I think it’s going to be around a long time. Especially with things changing so quickly in our lives.”

He appreciates the way upcycling preserves the past while creating something new and beautiful.

“There’s a lot of stuff that is becoming obsolete, hard to find, and I like to think it will show up at the gallery and I can turn it into a fountain or a guitar,” he says.

“Then you can remember, you can reminisce about the good old days, but also have a new experience with these old objects that have been turned into new works of art.”

Lauren Junker, owner of the Santa Cruz-based company Totally Tubular Design, is a local artist who makes purses out of bicycle inner tubes.

With the exception of the thread, zippers or Velcro, the bags Junker makes are made with materials that

were all going to be thrown away.

It was a bit of competitiveness that pushed Junker toward junk.

“I started in 2006,” Junker says. “I saw a woman who had a purse made out of a truck inner tube, and it was just this piece of rubber folded in half with a little strap, and I was like ‘I’m gonna make something cooler than that.’”

Soon after, she made her first purse, and has been making bags out of bicycle inner tubes ever since.

Junker moved to Santa Cruz in 2006 and says that after moving here, making bags switched from being mostly a hobby to a job—using inner tubes from most of the bike shops in Santa Cruz.

Junker looks to others for ideas on designs. “I think, because I like making things out of trash, I have a poor sense of fashion,” she says.

“So I try and pay attention to other people’s fashion, and start with that.”

She also works to make products

After moving to Santa Cruz from Los Angeles, Junker noticed a significant difference in how people living in those cities reacted to her bags, and the concept of upcycling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Cruz embraces the idea of upcycling,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I lived in Los Angeles and I was trying to sell bags there, people just thought I was weird.

I just think Santa Cruz gets it.â&#x20AC;?

Last month, Junker taught a week-long upcycling class at a summer camp at Good Shepherd Catholic School. She worked with a group of 16 kids between the ages of 7 and 13 on projects like decorating recovered trucker hats to making sea-glass jewelry. Junker says that the group had a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I brought my box of junk, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen children so excited to rummage through junk,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were so engaged, and I think they had fun with trash.â&#x20AC;?

Junker enjoys transforming trash into useful objects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, upcycling is taking something that

nobody wants anymore and turning it into something cool and different that has use again,â&#x20AC;? Junker says.

Items used for upcycling are not limited to what you can find in a landfill. Some upscale businesses in the area have embraced the concept in a different way.

Arteak Interiors in Santa Cruz sells everything from the reinvented remains of discarded door frames to upcycled pillows. Scott Burns, owner of Arteak, travels to Southeast Asia at least once a year and brings back items discarded from old structures, like doors and decorative window frames.

Burns says that the dollar cost of the wood he uses is more expensive than newer wood because the wood is older and of higher quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the cost to the environment is far less. Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just taking material that already exists and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reusing it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not cutting down trees,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Burns says that around 90 percent of the products in his store are upcycledâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cushion made in India from an old sari, picture frames made from magazines, a kitchen table made from an antique door.

Most of the products in his store are from Southeast Asia, while between 10 and 20 percent are locally made. One bench in his store is made from wood from an old fence post he salvaged from the area.

Two Dollars a Day Can a Santa Cruz author’s 2x2 Pledge stimulate the economy and revolutionize our food system? BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

W

northern Europe wild cabbage) grown up the coast at Route 1 Farms, to name only a few.

The 2x2 Pledge figures that if there are 500,000 people in our metropolitan marketplace—an estimation based on Olson’s radio reach of Santa Cruz, Salinas and Monterey—and each were to take the 2x2 Pledge, it would translate into $1 million per day spent on local food, or $365 million per year.

“Now economists tell us that local money circulates seven times before disappearing, and thus we now have a $2.5 billion-a-year local food chain where none existed before,” says Olson.

The 2x2 concept was spurred, in part, by a local campaign tested by Think Local First, in which five $100 checks were given to five different people by five different local banks, to be spent (and re-spent) locally.

“After 30 days, the five $100 checks generated $8,000 in local business,” says Olson. “Now what would have happened had we given those checks to a big box store?

Well, a little bit of that money would have stayed here, but not much, and in a very short period of time it would have all been gone.”

Such a boost would support a lot of farmers, who would hire a lot of farmworkers, who would support a lot of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, says Olson, who points to China’s agricultural revolution for real-life proof. “And with all of this activity, we will likely become hungry for even more local food, and soon start spending $10 per day on local food,” he says. Ten dollars a day on local food would mean a $12.5 billiona-year local food chain.

ith the world population expected to top 9 billion in 2050, after decades of record growth, the need to nurture a sustainable food system and preserve our natural resources has never been more urgent. Or daunting.

But what if a bright, abundant future was as easy as sautéing sweet peas in butter on a warm summer night?

That’s basically what local author and urban agriculturist Michael Olson promises in his “2x2 Pledge,” a food-based lifestyle change that mathematically demonstrates how local food can save the world. More specifically, he promises that we can eat our way to economic security and personal freedom. After all, Olson’s “first law of the food chain” is that agriculture is the foundation upon which we build our sandcastles—it provides us with surplus food, and is therefore the most important of all of our endeavors.

It goes like this: “Pledge to spend $2 a day on local food. And convince two other people to do the same,” says Olson, who wrote MetroFarm: The Guide to Growing for Profit In or Near the City and hosts the Saturday morning “Food Chain Radio” show on KSCO. Olson, who published the 2x2 Pledge on his website, metrofarm. com, six months ago, defines “local food” not by mileage or organic certification, but as “food with your farmer’s face on it.”

“If you can look at food and see or know who the farmer is, and how he or she grows your food, you have food with its farmer’s face on it,” says Olson. “And your farmer, farm, and food are likely close to home.”

In Santa Cruz, that would be, say, a tomato from Happy Boy Farms, or a Mayan squash grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains, or purple bulbs of kohlrabi (a radish-like descendant of

people have taken the 2x2 Pledge on his website, but he continues to shares the concept widely at conferences, and sees an enthusiastic show of hands for people willing to commit to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think people, by and large, say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a cool idea; and they forget it, but I think it works on them,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I suspect that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that works on them over a period of time.â&#x20AC;?

He may have a point. I put the Pledge to the test last week, and found that sourcing local food at the grocery store is not as easy as it seems, even if you shop at health-food stores. When it comes to produce, you have to look for it, and in some cases ask for itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an act that Olson says empowers the consumer with market control. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between asking your grocer for strawberries and asking for Swanton strawberries, he says. And when it comes to processed organic food, well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a future article altogether, but much of it is made from raw ingredients shipped from overseas.

Santa Cruz reawakened to the importance of biologically intense soil early. Sure, Alan Chadwick made an impact, says Olson, but Santa Cruz residents brought him here to do what he did: turn a steep hillside into a thriving organic garden that turned into a classroom back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, the greatest breakthrough is reacquiring the knowledge of the soil that we once had,â&#x20AC;? says Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the importance of recycling life back into the soil, where it comes back to us. That is the fundamental key to sustainability.â&#x20AC;?

For Olson, who grew up on a

farm in Montana, Santa Cruz is an epicenter for this soil rebirth, which is really the essence of the organic movement: one that piles compost, leaves, straw bales from down the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all forms of vegetal detritusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the soil, to let it cook down in a writhing stew of earthworms and healthy microbes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do is feed the soil, and all those bugs in the soil do the job of feeding the plants,â&#x20AC;? says Olson, who notes that biologically intense, hand-built soil is rich in not just the macro nutrientsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, but also secondary minerals, like calcium, magnesium and sulfur, and tiny trace elements, like boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most other elements have been found in plant tissue, too, we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there, what it does,â&#x20AC;? says Olson.

The industrial route is to turn soil into an inert medium, says Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no life left in it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement put together by the California Fresh Produce industry, really, is taking farmers in that direction. Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of life, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of bugs. And so really theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking farmers to take away all of the extraneous life. The bushes, the trees, the birds.â&#x20AC;?

Vegetables grown in inert soil have been proven to be depleted in minerals and nutrients, and largescale industrial farms that depend on synthetic fertilizers continue to damage the environment, says Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so, going back to the soil, really is the hope for the future,â&#x20AC;? says Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we take it upon ourselves to buy the kind of food that will be good for our bodies, we will be buying that sustainable world.

They go hand in handâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the kind of food that is good for our bodies is the kind of food that is good for the environment.â&#x20AC;?

With the county in a state of drought, and green lawns becoming a thing of the past, word on the street is that “brown is the new green.” In an ironic twist of phrase, it also turns out that brown was the original green.

The adobe, or sun-dried brick, is one of the oldest and most common building materials known to man. Traditionally, unbaked adobe bricks consisted of sand, clay, water, and often straw or grass mixed together by hand, formed in wooden molds, and dried by the sun. They were the primary materials used by the coastal indigenous tribes as well as the Spanish missionaries and ranchers who colonized the area.

In getting to know my first home, I delved into the history of its architecture and found great sourcebooks such as Adobes in the Sun. There I first learned of the Castro Adobe, which sits just off Larkin Valley Road on the outskirts of Watsonville and is widely considered one of the finest examples of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay Area.

When I first visited the home in the late 1990s it was abandoned and in poor repair, having been damaged in the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

Subsequently, the home was bought by the State, and a comprehensive renovation was undertaken to open the Castro Adobe as a State Historic Park. The restoration was done to preserve and interpret for the public the only remaining building of the Rancho era in the Pajaro Valley. After many years of dedicated effort, the venerable home is now being made available for limited visits by the public for the first time with a series of “sneak peak” open houses on July 10-11 and August 14-15.

You can get additional information about the Castro Adobe and the open houses at www.thatsmypark.org/projects/castro-adobe/, and learn a little more about the roots of real estate as it existed long before the years of 10-page contracts and multiple offers.

And maybe, just maybe, you will get one of the park rangers to explain to you why the average price of houses in the county just hit $821,233.

Youth in Re-volt Santa Cruz Skateboards’ parent company NHS is part of a growing solar trend BY CAT JOHNSON

s solar getting cooler? Dan Sullivan, who leads business development at Santa Cruz-based company Sandbar Solar certainly thinks so, as he sees more and more youth-driven businesses adopt it.

In this area, in particular, he says, a new generation of companies is going solar.

The highest-profile of these converts is NHS, parent company of Santa Cruz Skateboards, Independent Trucks and numerous other brands, and one of the skating world’s foremost tastemakers. NHS is in the final stages of a nine-month partnership with Sandbar Solar to transition their manufacturing facility and offices in the Seabright Cannery to solar.

“In the past year, as the federal tax benefit is due to expire and reduce in 2016, landlords in the city and all around California are trying to jump on board with solar right away,” says Sullivan. “We’ve gotten potential bids with other very large, youthful organizations here in Santa Cruz that we’re working on now.”

NHS’ new 250-kilowatt solar system consists of 782 Americanmade solar modules that will offset 86 percent of the electricity used, translating into a 99 percent reduction in utility bills. But the move to solar is not just good for business, it’s also aligned with NHS’s focus on being an innovative company.

“It just kind of jibes with our company culture,” says Caylin Tardif, CFO at NHS. “We’re a Santa Cruzbased company and everyone’s pretty concerned with the environment.

We’re trying to be a responsible business and hoping other businesses in the area do the same.”

Sandbar has installed solar systems on commercial properties throughout the county including the New Bohemia Brewing Company,

ON BOARD WITH SOLAR An aerial view of the 782 solar modules installed on the top of skate company NHS’ headquarters.

Plantronics, multiple area schools, the Westside Safeway, and the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant.

NHS’ neighbor, Verve Coffee Roasters, is also getting in on the solar action. As they share a roof and some of the same meters with NHS, they’re partnering with them on the solar project, which is being described as a win-win for everyone involved. In a statement, Sandbar founder Scott Laskey expressed pride at being selected by “such an iconic company” as NHS, and Tardif has nothing but good things to say about working with Sandbar, the transition to solar, and the impact it will have on business.

“It’s good for morale and it’s good to be giving back and doing your part,” he says. “I think when companies get in there and start running the numbers and doing the math, they’ll see that it’s cost effective for their business as well.”

The two musicals should appeal as much to today’s children as they do to former children, who will remember Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke in the original film version of ‘Mary Poppins,’ and who likely sat glued to the tube on Saturday mornings for ‘Schoolhouse Rocks.’

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough,” the super nanny promises us, “you’ll always sound precocious.” Only a film-turnedmusical as brilliant as Mary Poppins could guarantee that a word like “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and phrases such as “Chim-chimchi-ree” could become universally recognized. Admit it, you’re humming that song right now.

Directed and choreographed by Janie Scott, the upcoming Cabrillo Stage Mary Poppins will be liberally laced with songs, polished musical numbers, and, of course, a captivating story. Remember? Burt, the handyman, jack-of-all-trades (played by Griffeth Whitehurst) introduces us to the troubled Banks family and their headstrong children. In comes Mary Poppins with her magic umbrella to take things in hand, using liberal doses of magic, common sense and of course that spoonful of sugar. Adventures bound, and both children and grownups will learn a lot along the way from the high-spirited nanny, performed by Emily Marsilia.

Both of these hit musicals are produced by the Cabrillo Stage in cooperation with the talented performers of Spotlight Youth Conservatory. Don’t miss these lively professional productions of Schoolhouse Rock Live! and Mary Poppins. A popculture phenomenon joins forces with one of the most popular children’s stories of all time in this robust double bill about to light up the stage. Total fun for the entire family starts July 10.

teacher trying to calm his first-dayof-teaching jitters in front of the TV. And help arrives! A cast of vivacious characters, representing various facets of Tom’s own personality, spring to life from the TV to show him how to captivate his own students with lots of music and creativity.

Tunes like “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction” should delight brand new audiences, and offer plenty of infectious nostalgia for older “kids.” Directed and choreographed

by Andrew Ceglio, Schoolhouse stars Bobby Marchessault as Tom, with Kara Jonsson, Matt Myers, Kiana Hamzehi, Makai Hernandez and Alexi Baker in supporting roles.

Just the words “Mary Poppins” can’t help but put a smile on your face and a bounce in your toes—just like that spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. So wildly popular was the original series of children’s books, written by P.L. Travers about an English nanny swept into a certain London household, that the story went on to colonize first an iconic film by Walt Disney and then a stage musical that rocked Broadway for seven years.

The two musicals should appeal as much to today’s children as they do to former children, who will remember Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke in the original film version of Mary Poppins, and who likely sat glued to the tube on Saturday mornings for Schoolhouse Rocks. The wildly popular cartoon series kept kids wide-eyed with wonder at just how much fun schoolwork could be when filtered through the universal language of catchy tunes and lilting lyrics. Both of these musicals offer lessons for all ages carefully enfolded into irresistible tunes, spectacular dance numbers and high-flying special effects.

LITERATURE I was on the day that a black man was being inaugurated as president. The experience stayed with me for a long time. I just started fantasizing about having a personal relationship with Lincoln, and that led to me reading about his interior life, his depression, and his love affair with Ann Rutledge.

Other ideas took off from there.

It sounds like a theme developed.

Right, the theme being that there is this collection of historical icons so well known that they’ve come to embody their own mythology. It gives you freedom to play with them as personalities. Lincoln is so familiar that you can play with his image without really doing any damage to his actual history. But not all the stories in the book are historically based. There’s one that takes place in the future about the first man to have successful life-extension therapy. It takes a look at the price we pay for our obsession with immortality.

PARALLEL LINES Wallace Baine will read from his new book of short stories, ‘The Last Temptation of Lincoln,’

on Thursday, July 9 at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

Wallace Baine puts his own spin on American history in new short-story collection BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

I

f you’re a creative person in this town, there’s a strong chance that you’ve had a conversation with Wallace Baine. For more than 20 years, he’s championed the cultural scene in Santa Cruz as editor, reporter, and columnist for the Santa Cruz Sentinel. What has always drawn me into his writing is his voice. Funny, curious, and discerning, its casual charm belies its depth, which makes it perfectly suited to our laid-back yet passionate approach to the arts in Santa Cruz.

Baine found himself on the other side of the interview recently, when we talked about his surprising

new book of short stories, The Last Temptation of Lincoln. In it, he embraces speculative fiction, which is not to say that it’s science fiction exactly, but that it approaches historical fact as a jumping off point to explore other possibilities: Could the noble truths enshrined by the American Revolution have been penned by an orphaned 13-year-old girl living in a brothel?

Could a secret moon mission to placate a paranoid president have been sent to retrieve the American flag left behind?

Could the ghost of Lincoln’s true love have come back to counsel him?

Former local Robert Heinlein pondered the hazy line between fiction

and aspiration: “Who is more real?

Homer or Ulysses? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Burroughs or Tarzan?” Baine shares his curiosity. Here are some highlights of our conversation.

How did this idea of putting your own spin on history get started?

It started when I went back east to see the inauguration of Obama. We arrived extremely early because there were reports that there were going to be 2 million people, so I’m talking 2 a.m. It was incredibly cold, and we didn’t have anything to do but wander around. At one point, I found myself alone with Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, and it hit me: here

How has this approach changed your relationship to writing?

It’s opened it up. You write to learn about material, yourself, and to see where your ideas might go. There are some serious ideas in this book. We tend to look at history as disconnected from us, and I just wanted to underscore that these are human stories. They have relevance to how we live today. And besides, they’re fun. I adapted the one about Oscar Wilde into a short play called Oscar’s Wallpaper, which was selected for Eight Tens @ 8. It was a wonderful experience, and an indication that they can have a different life off the page.

What else are you working on?

I’ve been involved with the Gail Rich Awards for 20 years now. They happen annually and highlight creative people in Santa Cruz County. This year we’re going to do a beautiful 20th anniversary coffee-table book that will come out at the end of the year.

It will be filled with photos of your friends and neighbors, every facet of the creative community here in Santa Cruz. I’ll be writing captions for about 150 people.

Wallace Baine will read from and talk about his new book at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 9. Free.

Much Ado, Indeed

34

Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s three-play festival opens with innovative casting twists BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

he spectacle of Shakespeare’s most tartly devised couple reluctantly falling in love has charmed audiences for five centuries. And, with provocative casting of central characters, the new Santa Cruz Shakespeare production of Much Ado About Nothing offers its own summer festival charm.

Shakespeare wrote this play at the very epicenter of his inventive prime, borrowing from an Italian tragedy about young lovers who mistakenly stumble into near-fatal deception.

Onto the romantic motif of love and broken vows between the governor of Messina’s beautiful daughter Hero

(Sarah Traisman) and dashing soldier Claudio (Josh Saleh), Shakespeare grafts his own brilliant invention— man-eating Beatrice (played to the hilt

by Greta Wohlrabe), and the man she loves to insult, confirmed bachelor Benedick (Mike Ryan). In other words, two well-matched wits determined not to fall in love.

The juicy repartee between Beatrice and Benedick drives the energy of this production, the opening play of Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s second year.

Without grandstanding, Wohlrabe, (Celia in last year’s As You Like It) owns every moment that she’s on stage. She can swagger, cajole, and

take great bites out of the chewy text with nimble delivery and effortless bravura. The accomplished Ryan, who is also the company’s artistic director, is an adroit comic actor with flawless physical intuitions. “Ah, what a giddy thing is a man,” he confesses, to our delight. They are the power couple to watch as they weave their mutual discoveries and outrage in and out of the action, helping to pump confidence and expert timing into the evening.

Much Ado About Nothing, which played to an appreciative openingnight audience, gave us a chance to consider a few of the innovations Ryan has brought to this season. The

repertory concept of the three-play festival run allows one company of actors to explore multiple roles.

For example Dogberry, Much Ado’s linguistically challenged idiot constable, is played by Steve Pickering—the same actor who will play Macbeth later in the season.

Playing the First Witch in Macbeth will be seasoned actor Patty Gallagher, who is Leonata in Much Ado About Nothing.

And, here comes the most intriguing casting move of the season: Intent upon bringing more female voices to theater, Ryan has encouraged gender parity in casting. This does not mean cross-dressing, where women dress as male characters. No, this is more subtle—it means that male characters are now set as female ones. Banquo, in next month’s production of Macbeth for example, will be played as a woman, and acted by the powerful Wohlrabe. Gallagher’s character in Much Ado is Leonata, the Governor of Messina. But in Shakespeare’s play, the governor is Leonato—a man.

And furthermore, Leonato’s brother Antonio is here transformed into a woman, Antonia (valiantly played

by Suzanne Sturn). Such casting changes can force the iconic text into new potency, and, ideally, new insights. Having two strong women stand up to male cheats can resonate in a 21st century where women hold presidential power. However, some of the younger members of last week’s audience opted to laugh loudly and nervously at the sight of mature women threatening to match swords with young men. Changing the gender of a well-known character could invite confusion—and perhaps laughter from the clueless. It’s a bold move to be sure. Learning to re-read the text might take some time, but it will also reward a second viewing.

The performance innovations of this season can only unfold for those who have seen all the productions. Much Ado About Nothing sets the stage for the repertory inventions of The Liar and Macbeth.

Come and feast on the English language the way it was meant to be heard, spoken and savored. And then some.

GRAMBLE ON Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers play the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival on Saturday, July 11.

Day in the Sun JULY 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

For Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers, it’s been a strange, viral-video road to the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival BY STEVE PALOPOLI

36

O

ne band. One van. One iPhone. Millions of hits.

If their series of “Van Sessions” videos hadn’t become the surprise YouTube sensation of 2012, maybe alt-countryfolk-rockers Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers wouldn’t have ended up near the top of the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival lineup this weekend at Roaring Camp Meadows in Felton.

Though the band’s musical director—and Nicki’s husband— Tim Bluhm was somewhat of a Bay Area music legend already, thanks to his band the Mother Hips, the

Gramblers were still a fairly new experiment for the couple. With Tim’s encouragement, Nicki released her first solo album in 2008, surrounded by several of his musical collaborators.

The band coalesced on tour, but after the videos—featuring the band crammed into their touring van, playing their instruments on a series of cover songs while Nicki sings—went viral, the first record credited to Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers came out in 2013, landed on the Billboard Americana charts, and spurred TV appearances.

But the Van Sessions weren’t just some kind of gimmicky launching pad.

On the contrary, the very reason they got popular in the first place was that in a summer of overproduced pop— where Carly Rae Jepsen’s catchy but creepily robotic “Call Me Maybe” was the closest thing to an anthem—they were a DIY breath of fresh air. With a list of song choices that veered from the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” to George Michael’s “Faith” to (most famously) Hall and Oates’ “I Can’t Go For That,” always with one static camera shot capturing the action, the videos showcased the unpredictable mix of rock, country, folk, and soul that the

band conjures effortlessly. They also provided a stark showcase for Nicki’s incredible voice.

She, of course, had no clue they would catch on.

“There’s no way to prepare for something like that,” she says now from her home in San Francisco. But as demand for the band went up, the wild eclecticism of the Gramblers’ music proved to have a downside, too, in trying to establish for potential new fans just what their music was about.

“It can be a good thing and a bad thing,” she says. “Definitely one of the focuses on the new record [Loved Wild Lost] was to be a bit more cohesive. We’re constantly trying to hone our sound.”

When they play the Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival on Saturday, they’ll be in the company of headliners Michael Franti and Spearhead; as well as African diva Angelique Kidjo; the Spirit of ’76 featuring Melvin Seals, who’ll recreate a show originally played by the Jerry Garcia Band; and Santa Cruz songsmith Keith Greeninger. Sunday’s lineup includes headlining bluegrass vanguards Yonder String Mountain Band; Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass, which does bluegrass Grateful Dead covers; singersongwriter Brett Dennen; jam band Golden Gate Wingmen; and popular former Giants third-base coach gone Americana songwriter Tim Flannery, with his band Lunatic Fringe.

Bluhm sees festivals like this as not just a great gig, but also a community.

“Everyone tours so hard throughout the year, it’s cool to connect with other musicians and just hang,” she says.

After this show, Bluhm and the Gramblers will be touring the country through the entire summer and into the fall. But don’t expect any more videos from the road, now that they’ve had an upgrade in transportation.

“We tried to do one in the bus,” says Bluhm. “It just doesn’t translate.”

The Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival will be held on Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, at Roaring Camp Meadows in Felton. Gates open at 11 a.m., music starts at 11:30 a.m.

Headliners Michael Franti and Spearhead (Saturday) and Yonder Mountain String Band (Sunday) take the stage at 5 p.m. One-day tickets are $65; two-day passes, $115. Go to santacruzmountainsol.com for tickets.

CASTRO ADOBE STATE PARK OPEN HOUSE State Park Interpretive Rangers and Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks volunteers have been hard at work restoring the last remaining building of the Rancho era in the Pajaro Valley, built in 1848 and considered one of the finest examples of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay area. Saturday, volunteers will be on hand to take visitors through the restoration process, including the recently restored cocina (kitchen)—stay tuned for hand-made tortillas on the reconstructed brasero— and the Potter-Church Garden. Enjoy a “sneak-peek” and live the connection between modern-day traditions and California’s heritage before the two-year reconstruction project is completed.

THURSDAY 7/9 KIDS

Last weekend we celebrated Independence Day, and the brave colonists who fought to create an autonomous nation—most of whom were British, right?

Maybe not entirely, as author Donald Wilson investigates. He found that most men in the Revolutionary War were from Scotland, Ireland and Wales—referred to as the Celtic Fringe—where a very different culture existed at that time (any Outlander fans out there?). Fighters came from the clan system, where people ruled bottom up instead of top down, which was drastically different than the English monarchy. Wilson sheds a new light on the true origins of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

COLLAGE WORKSHOP WITH T. MIKE WALKER Kids ages 7 and up are invited to join local artist T. Mike Walker for a fun and challenging photo collage workshop. 3-5 p.m. Boulder Creek Public Library, 13390 West Park Ave., Boulder Creek. 427-7713, bit.ly/scpl-kidsread15. Free.

LOCAL BAND

EDGE OF THE WEST Jim Lewin’s latest band, Edge of the West, is an eclectic group. Their influences include Americana, bluegrass, jazz, reggae, and the psychedelic folk-rock sound from ’60s Haight-Ashbury. At the center of it all is country music, but not the kind of country music most people think of.

“It’s not really a cowboy band at all.

It synthesizes a lot of influences,” says guitarist/vocalist Lewin. “I’m interested in the intersection of tradition and the future.”

JULY 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The band’s name is intended to show this relationship between old, welldefined American musical genres like old-timey bluegrass and new musical territory. Lewin hopes Edge of the West will give people a sense of the great Wild West and classic Western roots music, but also the progressiveness of California.

44

“There’s always kind of a tradition of reinvention on the West Coast, taking old things and giving it a new twist,” Lewin says. “That’s what I see as California’s contributions to the ongoing evolution of popular music.”

Edge of the West played their first show a couple of months back. Before that, Lewin played for a few years as the Jim Lewin Band with some of the same people, but decided he wanted something more than a solo project.

“I wanted a more imaginative title.

I wanted to create a world with my music, and not so much via my identity personally,” he says. “I like bands that create a world.”AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 9.

WEDNESDAY 7/8 BLUES

JOHN MAYALL Before Eric Clapton created Cream, or Peter Green formed Fleetwood Mac, or Mick Taylor played in the Rolling Stones, they all—along with many other well-established artists—played in John Mayall’s band, the Bluesbreakers. A legend of British blues, Mayall established himself as a standout bluesman and bandleader in the 1960s, and became known for experimenting with the format. Mayall remains one of the first-mentioned names in bluesrock, and seeing him live in Santa Cruz is a rare treat, so don’t sleep on this one.

FRIDAY 7/10 FOLK

MAMUSE A celebration of life, nature, connectedness, and music, MaMuse is a duo that digs deep into the earth, our shared heart, and our future history to create music that feels ancient and familiar.

The Chico-based duo, comprising Karisha Longaker and Sarah Nutting, draws inspiration from a variety of sources, both musical and nature-based, and follows the lineage of great heart-centered, vocal-driven acts including Jennifer Berezan, Linda Tillery, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. Friday’s performance is an album release party for the duo’s new release, Heart Nouveau. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20. 427-2227.

COUNTRY SWING

BIG SANDY & HIS FLY-RITE BOYS Over 25 years, Big Sandy & his Fly-Rite Boys have bounced from rockabilly and “true” rock ’n’ roll to country swing and honky tonk. Sandy and the Boys are known to bring the boogie with the woogie on original tracks like “Jumping from 6 to 6,” and crank up the juices on their arsenal of covers like “Love That Man.” This is the perfect night to grab that special sweetheart, put on the old dancing shoes and rock around the clock until the “Night Tide” sweeps in.

SUNDAY 7/12 REGGAE

AFLORA Though they only formed in 2009, Chile’s Aflora are one of the hottest active reggae acts in Latin America, and should appeal to folks that tend to like their reggae straight from Jamaica. They have the same cool, laid-back grooves and lush harmonies of classic artists like Bob Marley and the Wailers, Steel Pulse and Black Uhuru, and even bring a similar message of peace, unity, and political change.

SPIROS EXARAS – ELIO VILLAFRANCA PROJECT When the extraordinary Greek guitarist Spiros Exaras joins forces with prodigious Cuban pianist Elio Villafranca, two brilliant and far-flung musical explorers find a lingua franca in jazz while crafting a polyglot musical communion.

They recently released a gorgeous album, Old Waters New River (Harbinger Records), that reveals deep emotional currents connecting the Aegean to the Caribbean. Whether playing originals or drawing on their native traditions, this duo sounds like no other musical part-

EXPERIMENTAL

CHROME In the ’70s, it was nearly impossible to categorize San Francisco’s Chrome.

They were highly influenced by the punk-rock energy of the Stooges, but went a totally new direction with it, and are considered forebears of the industrial-rock movement that would take shape in the ’80s and ’90s. But they were much weirder than the bands they influenced. They played a mix of psychedelic acid-punk, early electronic music and anti-pop, sometimes going on strange nonsensical tangents and squirming with eerie dissonant noises. Even today, they are a challenging act, and take the term “experimental” very literally, but it’s always exciting and unpredictable.

On Saturday, July 18, DNA welcomes Larry “Bubbles” Brown for two performances.

A fixture on the Bay Area comedy scene, Brown has been performing his dry, self-deprecating stand-up routines for 30-plus years, and is the star of the documentary Three Still Standing. His Santa Cruz performance is the West Coast premiere of his new one-man show. More info: standupsantacruz.com.

FILM

PRICE OF PREJUDICE David Kato was murdered in 2011; he was the first openly gay man in Uganda, now known as “the worst

place to be gay” because of its incredibly stringent anti-homosexuality laws and cultural beliefs.

Call Me Fearless Film chronicles Ugandan LGBT movement BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

JULY 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

O

50

n March 1, 2014, the Red Pepper published a two-page spread titled “Ugandan Homos Cabinet List Leaks.”

On the top left corner appeared a photo of John “Long Jones” Wambere, with his characteristic shoulder-length dreadlocks, high cheekbones and something between a grimace and a small, serene smile.

It wasn’t the first time his photo was printed in the Ugandan tabloid.

The same paper had outed him as a gay man in 2005 by printing a photo, his home address, private information, and identifying details—an act that has become commonplace in the years leading up to the Anti-Homosexuality Act passed by the Ugandan Parliament in December 2013.

The 2014 Pepper article came out while Wambere was in the U.S., shortly after Ugandan President

Yoweri Museveni had signed the bill into law. This time, it was a clear sign that Wambere could not return home.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act made same-sex relations punishable by life in prison (a previous draft included a death penalty clause), and in the months following the bill’s enactment, lynching, mob violence, blackmail, lost jobs, burning of homes, evictions, and suicides increased tenfold, according to Sexual Minorities Uganda.

“It became very scary,” says Wambere, who remembers growing up in a time when men would hold hands as a sign of brotherhood. “You cannot live every day having sleepless nights. You cannot live every day unguaranteed of your safety.”

Wambere now lives in Boston, having gained asylum in 2014, and is featured in the documentary Call Me Kuchu, which screens at Aptos’

Temple Beth El on July 18. Wambere will attend the screening along with activist David Robinson, an American who also lived in Uganda in the tense years leading up to the law’s passage, and who was also outed as gay by the Red Pepper.

Even though the Constitutional Court of Uganda ruled the law invalid in August of 2014, as a gay man living in what has become known as “the worst place to be gay,” Wambere says he was ostracized, harassed, threatened and brutalized.

After the United States Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage on June 26, many have asked where the nationwide LGBTQ movement should focus next. “Africa,” says Robinson.

“As Americans, we need to look out for our brothers and sisters around the world,” says Robinson. “We have a degree of equality now, a degree of

safety, but it’s not the case in so much of the world—it’s not ours to do, it’s the Ugandans’ to do, but we have some owning up to do.”

“Owning up,” he says, because homophobia in Uganda is an American export. Before the radical American pastor Scott Lively arrived in Uganda in 2009, he helped pass America’s first anti-gay legislation in 1992. Lively’s rhetoric found a captive audience in Uganda: after attending one of his seminars, the Minister of Finance for Planning, David Bahati, proposed the Anti-Homosexuality bill.

Call Me Kuchu focuses primarily on the underground LGBT movement in Uganda, and on the “father” of the movement, David Kato, the first openly gay man in the country, who was murdered one year into filming.

The Ugandan government initially claimed that his death was related to a robbery gone wrong, then later claimed a personal dispute. But Kato’s funeral made international headlines when the presiding pastor used it as an opportunity to “preach hate,” Wambere says, making comparisons to Sodom and Gomorrah in his sermon.

The film follows Kato’s friends and allies as they seek a new way forward under the prospect of the AntiHomosexual Act. It also shows a fierce and unrelenting movement brazenly defying the nascent homophobia in their home country. Since its 2012 release, Kuchu has won the GLAAD Award for Outstanding Documentary, Best Documentary at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival, and the 2013 Cinema for Peace Human Rights Film Award.

Filmmakers Katherine Fairfax and Malika Zouhali-Worrall were invested in the community, says Wambere.

They didn’t just travel to Uganda as Westerners, get the story, make the movie, and leave.

Even if he misses home, Wambere says he finally feels free in the U.S. “I didn’t want to live a lie, it took me time to grow and come to terms with my sexuality,” says Wambere. “I always thought it was something that would go away and as time went on I began to love myself—I got that pride in being who I am.”

David Robinson will give a talk at the Ocean Gate Zen Center at 9 a.m., on Saturday, July 18. ‘Call Me Kuchu’ will be screened at Temple Beth El 7 p.m. July 18.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK THE GALLOWS For those of us who can stand to watch scary movie trailers with the volume on, this looks one of those horror films that offers exactly what it says it will: throwback Blair Witch-ish style hand-held camera shots following a group of teenagers who explore a small-town school in an attempt to resurrect a failed show twenty years after a “horrific accident.”

Students try to honor the dead on the anniversary of the school tragedy, but they apparently learn some things are better left alone—kind of like Blair Witch wannabe remakes. Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing direct. Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, and Ryan Shoos co-star.

(R) 81 minutes. Starts Friday.

JULY 8-14, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

INFINITELY POLAR BEAR Writer/ director Maya Forbes‘ directorial debut and arguably Mark Ruffalo’s most complex, beautifully layered role to date, Infinitely Polar Bear explores the inarguable difficulty of living as a manic depressive man in a time when it still wasn’t openly discussed—and making the decision to be a stay-at-home dad when it was socially unheard of. Ruffalo plays a father of two girls who agrees to stay home while Zoe Saldana pursues her dream at Columbia University in an artful look at mental disorders and the ins and outs of being a dad. Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, and Imogene Wolodarsky co-star. (R) 90 minutes.

MINIONS Jon Hamm said recently on The Daily Show that minions are just as appealing to adults as they are to children because “they look like capsules, they look like pills”—and he might be right, sort of. Who can possibly resist the googly-eyed, squishy yellow minions whose shape is somewhat ... comforting? Finally, the makers of children’s films have figured it out—that, and the sly adult jokes that in the minion nonsensical garble, which somehow makes perfect sense and no sense at all, are completely hilarious. This time around it’s the origin story of the adorable single-celled yellow organisms, seeking their evil villain leader from the dinosaur age to the present where they find Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) who, with her husband Herb Overkill (Jon Hamm), hatch a plan to steal Queen Elizabeth’s crown—and then take over the world, naturally.

Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin direct.

(PG) 91 minutes. Starts Friday.

SELF/LESS At first glance, Ben Kingsley grappling with the question of death and an unlived potential seems dark and serious—but then he gets the body of Ryan Reynolds and can party it up like he’s 25, black book on speed dial. The thought of Kingsley’s subconscious behind that debauchery, funny or creepy? Perhaps worthy of a second look, Self/Less takes on the question of immortality and the “side effects” that might accompany it with Damian (Kingsley) who is dying from cancer and feels life has more to offer him, even if not in the same body.

Slowly, he unravels the origin of his new body and discovers just how far the organization behind his transformation will go to protect it. Tarsem Singh directs. Ryan Reynolds, Natalie Martinez, and Matthew Goode co-star.

(PG-13) 116 minutes. Starts Friday.

CONTINUING EVENT: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For our location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING DOPE Shameik Moore certainly redefines the definition of “geek” (since when are geeks the perfectly chiseled Fresh Prince throwback types with Class Act hair and excellent taste in music) as Malcolm, a straight-A student carefully maneuvering the reality of growing up in Inglewood. Produced by Pharrell Williams and Sean Combs (who are responsible for the undoubtedly dope soundtrack which includes four new originals by Pharrell) in addition to Forest Whitaker, the coming of age comedy/drama sees Malcolm through the trials and tribulations of his teens—the mean streets, romance, drama, and everything awkward and awesome in between.

Rick Famuyiwa directs. Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, and Kiersey Clemons co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

ENTOURAGE Once upon a time there was an HBO series that everyone agreed was good, but not quite as

good as The Sopranos. But it did have Jeremy Piven as agent Ari Gold, and after the show was over everybody kind of missed seeing him play that guy, so that’s probably why we now have an Entourage movie. The whole gang is back as we once again follow Adrian Grenier’s Vince, who is apparently still chasing fame and fortune in Hollywood. (R) 104 minutes.

ESCOBAR: PARADISE LOST In his directorial debut, Andrea Di Stefano takes on the dark and dangerous world of Pablo Escobar’s Colombian drug cartel. Played by Hunger Games sweetheart Josh Hutcherson, Nick ventures from Canada to the Columbian coast in search of a surf paradise. He stumbles upon the beautifully alluring Maria—none other than Escobar’s niece. Josh Hutcherson, Benicio Del Toro, and Brady Corbet co-star. (R) 120 minutes.

INSIDE OUT In the tradition of Toy Story 2 and Up, comes Inside Out, a Pixar movie so smart, so crammed with ideas, and so full of genuine emotion, it reinvents the whole idea of what an animated movie can be. (Oh, and it’s really funny too!) Directed by Pete Docter, its premise is that each individual person is governed by a mission control center in the brain where five key emotions constantly jockey for position. A foul-up in the control booth temporarily disconnects the 11-year-old protagonist from her personality, and intrepid emotion Joy (Amy Poehler) must trek through the adolescent brain to set things right—a journey both hilarious and moving in in this accomplished joyride of a movie.

(PG) 94 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen.

JURASSIC WORLD Steven Spielberg apparently learned nothing about franchises that have worn out their welcome from the poor reaction to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Oh wait, that movie made hundreds of millions of dollars? Oh, maybe he did learn something! Anyway, in this one, there’s a new dinosaur park, and everything goes fine! Not really, but wouldn’t that be kind of awesome?

(PG-13) 124 minutes.

LOVE & MERCY Bill Pohlad’s generally absorbing fiction film about the amazing life and harrowing

times of Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, narrows its focus to two pivotal moments in Wilson’s life. Paul Dano is terrific playing the younger Brian in the mid-1960s, at the height of his creative genius, and John Cusack is surprisingly effective as the ’80s-model Brian, under the thumb of controlling psychotherapist Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti). And it’s all connected by the music, a fabulous, gluttonous feast of Wilson music, from surf tunes to Smile, that informs every single scene. (PG-13) 120 minutes. (***)— Lisa Jensen.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Tom Hardy takes over the role that made the youthful Mel Gibson a star, and director George Miller takes the helm once again in this continuation of the post-apocalyptic action franchise about souped-up, spare-part monster vehicles, huge explosions, and survival of the weirdest. Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Zoe Kravitz costar. (R) 120 minutes.

MAGIC MIKE XXL Oh the very, very thinly veiled layer of sexual innuendo that oozes—no, explodes—from this “dance comedy.” But, hey, who can argue with abs, abs, abs?

Channing Tatum (who really is a great dancer, guys) is back from stripper “retirement” to the daily grind with his best buddies, the Kings of Tampa.

On their way to a stripper convention, no less, Magic Mike (Tatum) is joined by veteran dancers Big Dick Richie, Tarzan, and Ken (who didn’t get a creative stage name?) and some fresh faces as they thrust their way towards one last blowout performance.

And while it’s worth noting that a movie about a tight-knit group of female strippers would never be this successful at the box office, it’s a film for the giggles and the blushes and squeals of delight—like going to a male strip club, only cheaper and probably with better indoor climate control.

Gregory Jacobs directs. Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

MAX Trained as a precision military dog, Max served on the frontlines of Afghanistan with his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott until things go terribly awry and Wincott is mortally wounded. Traumatized by the loss of his best friend, the canine is unable

to return to service and thus shipped stateside to Wincott’s family where the fallen soldier’s brother develops an unlikely bond with the four-legged veteran. Boaz Yakin directs. Thomas Haden Church, Josh Wiggins, and Luke Kleintank co-star. (PG) 111 minutes.

TED 2 The lovably foul-mouthed teddy is back—and this time, he wants to produce a spawn of his own (terrifying, we know). However, as anyone who’s survived a trip to Build-A-Bear knows, the insides of a Teddy are not conducive to reproduction, hence why Ted asks John to provide the goods.

What ensues is a typically hilarious battle for civil rights (“we’ll take it all the way up to Judge Judy if we have to”) so that Ted can prove he’s a human and keep the child he’s always wanted. Seth MacFarlane directs. Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane, and Amanda Seyfried co-star. (R) 115 minutes.

TERMINATOR: GENISYS It would be hard for a Terminator film to be lamer than Terminator: Salvation, which was perhaps the first movie in history to make killer robots boring (just kidding, Chopping Mall! You blazed a trail.) The trailers for the annoyingly spelled Terminator: Genisys at least make it look like it will be weirder, although nice job spoiling the big twist, dumbasses. Anyway, Arnie is also back as the timetraveling robot assassin who used to be badass until he started saying things like “Why do you cry?” Duh, I cry because they won’t stop making Terminator movies.

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH: Jon Snow—what are you doing in World War I England? It seems that Winter came and went as Game of Thrones star Harington makes his first major film debut in this war drama based on the namesake memoir by Vera Brittain. Presented by BBC, the young Vera defies the conventions of her times, trying desperately to ignore the wiles of dashing Roland Leighton (Harington—who likely still knows nothing) as she accepts her position at Oxford. Conflict arises when the star-crossed lovers find themselves in the pull of the WWI volunteerism and the devastating realities of the lost generation. James Kent directs. Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, and Taron Egerton co-star. (PG-13) 129 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK

FRESH CAUGHT McFarland rainbow trout served over summer veggies at Bantam. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Westside Chic

T

here’s no doubt about it.

Bantam is the hot Westside destination for those who like to sample the best in seasonally inflected cuisine: a robust mixed demographic of couples, students, families, inquiring visitors and retired academics.

Chef and owner Ben Sims has nurtured a chic, stripped-down dinner-house ambiance wrapped around a wood-burning pizza oven.

But our mission last week was to quench our culinary curiosity without surrendering to the mouth-

watering Bantam pizza list, which ranges from spot-on simplicity (the Margherita) to a dreamy prosciutto pie loaded with mozzarella, rocket and cream.

The trick to a memorable dinner at Bantam is no trick at all—start with the avocado toast. Put another way: don’t even think about exiting this sleek industrial space without ordering one of the finest meal starters on the planet.

We began, as we begin all of our dinners, with glasses of wine. For Angie, a tart Verdejo from Rey Santo 2013 ($9), and for me a supple

Damilano Barbera d’Asti 2012 ($11) with well-organized tannins. Along with sparkling water to ward off the heat of the day, we started in on the house special appetizer: Fat slabs of sourdough, toasted in the pizza oven and then topped with more fat slabs of ripe avocado, an emerald green drizzle of cilantro pesto, sesame seeds and tiny coriander blossoms—the mother of cilantro ($6). I thought I would collapse into a blob of stupid happiness, it was so delicious. Lemon zest sparked every bite with the bold scent of summer.

The beat continued in the dining

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER If you still haven’t wrapped your mouth around one of this season’s incomparable organic strawberries—I’m especially liking Swanton Berry Farms and Dirty Girl Produce—then you haven’t fulfilled your summer potential. Quick! The season’s almost over.

room that feels like a Westside open house on any evening you visit. A few couples seated at the wine bar, large tables with extended families, happy kids playing with their toys and their pizza, and many, like us, grinning like idiots over our plates.

A shared Caesar salad showcased voluptuous leaves of escarole and a dressing intense with anchovy, garlic, grana, and those tiny jewellike breadcrumbs done so well by Bantam’s kitchen team ($10). More lemon zest peeked through the other ingredients. We practically licked the plate clean. Shameless.

Our entrees arrived swiftly, mine a bowl of pale green and yellow veggies—corn, summer squash and diamond-cut Romano beans. In the center sat a large cube of moist McFarland Springs rainbow trout and a generous spoonful of aioli ($20). The fish was perfection. The season in a bowl. Our other entree was the evening’s ragu Bolognese, a tangle of sauce-infused egg noodles laced with grana and parsley ($19). The dice of meats and the delicately rich sauce gave every bite importance. Dispensing with the carbo-glut of bread baskets, Bantam honors its main dishes. Smart.

Believe it or not, we managed to decide on a dessert to split. The words “lemon verbena” always catch my attention, and on the dessert menu they were attached to the word “semifreddo.” Warm blueberry crumble joined the inviting plate of luscious ice cream ($8). It’s an unbeatable warm-weather classic: juicy ripe blueberries and chilled cream perfumed with the fairytale fragrance of lemon verbena ($8).

The celebrated noise level was wellbehaved—Bantam stays on our short list of top Santa Cruz restaurants. The entire Westside population can’t be wrong. And even if they are, I’m not.

f you love dessert wine, then you will go nuts over Beauregard Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling, 2011. For a mere $20, you can have yourself a bottle of mouthwatering nectar—perfectly produced by experienced winemaker Ryan Beauregard.

Made with fruit harvested from the Dunnigan Hills AVA in Yolo County in November 2011, the grapes were infected with botrytis cinerea, the “noble rot,” which removes water from the grapes, leaving behind a higher percentage of sugars, fruit acids and minerals.

The Late Harvest is a blend of 85 percent Riesling and 15 percent Ribolla Gialla, a white Italian grape grown most prominently in northeast Italy.

The result is a pretty, goldencolored wine awash with honeysuckle and nectarine. Flavors of mango and orange blossom add to the enormous appeal of this delightful drink, which has just the right amount of natural sweetness.

Although many would serve it as an after-dinner drink, I like to drink this wine on its own to satisfy my sweet tooth. It’s just delicious chilled, and a splendid pairing with cheese and fruit.

If you’re a wine club member at Beauregard Vineyards, you’ll be privy to all the fun member events they hold throughout the year. Or, you can just visit their Lost Weekend Tasting Room to try out the Late Harvest Riesling and all of their other wines as well.

Beauregard Vineyards will also be participating in the Capitola Art &

CAMELLIA TEA HOUSE Springing up in what was formerly the Quail and Thistle Tea Room in Capitola is the brand new Camellia Tea House.

Rashe gives Table Etiquette Workshops if you want to learn more about the art of tea.

The Camellia Tea House is at 911 Capitola Ave., Capitola, 477-1798.

HINDQUARTER BAR & GRILLE After finishing up some hefty Good Times issues, including a couple of special issue magazines, we celebrated as we always do—with food and wine! The staff met at Hindquarter Bar & Grille, where we feasted on appetizers, entrees, wine, beer, and cocktails. Although the Hindquarter is famous for its mouthwatering steaks, pork chops and other meats, I had freshly caught king salmon, which was truly delicious.

Ocean2Table Remaking the local fishing industry with a seafood CSA BY KIMBERLY WAINSCOAT

C

aptains Charlie Lambert and Ian Cole have spent the past two years fishing in the Monterey Bay from their 17-foot Boston Whaler, and accumulating enviable contacts on sea and land while building their business Ocean2Table, a Community Supported Fishery (CSF). A relatively new concept in sustainable dining, CSFs are much like Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs), offering the public a chance to buy sustainably fished fish direct from local fishermen. “Fish Alert” emails let potential buyers (a.k.a. shareholders) know what was caught that day. At Ocean2Table, both captains have degrees in marine biology from UCSC and make sustainable fishery management the heart of their work.

other boats we work with are trawlers.

Not every trawler is alike. Some drag heavy-gauge nets for hours and hours over the ocean floor, degrading it and harming other species. Others are careful not to drag on the seafloor and are very careful about the size of the nets they use, so smaller fish can swim out. Twice a week we get up at 4 a.m., get our coffee, put on slickers and boots and head out on the bay to fish.

Santa Cruz is infamous for its cliquey surfing culture, what is it like fishing here?

What is your favorite fish?

IAN COLE: Sablefish, also known as black cod. They have more omega 3s than salmon and they are not overfished. We served that as our entrée for our first pop-up dinner.

It’s great and you don’t feel guilty eating it like you do ahi or salmon, both of which are overfished.

IAN COLE: Our partners for the next dinner on July 16 include Crescent Farms, Creative Cultures, Ty’s Eatery and Companion Bakery. At the popups we take some risks, experiment with flavors and educate.

CHARLIE LAMBERT: It is very local, everyone knows everyone and there is generally a moral connection to the fisheries here in the Monterey Bay. We have our favorite boats that we work with. Our biggest concerns are: is it ethically, ecologically and sustainably caught? That is what we sell. We use hook and line on our boat, but some

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LET ISOLATION BE THE RULE The entire week builds toward the new moon of Cancer (23.14 degrees) on Wednesday, July 15.

Mercury has entered Cancer. We speak in ways that allow others to feel emotional security. Our words offer sustained nourishment. We are resourceful, bringing people and ideas together. We care for and “mother” all environments.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday are under the Taurus moon. We seek the art of living truthfully and sustainably. Sunday, Gemini moon, the Cancer Sun squares Uranus (all things new) in Aries. Squares challenge us into new directions, leading to the future, and working with a new identity (Aries) under the new Aquarian Laws and Principles (new rhythms/archetypes).

Monday, Mercury in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces. Trines are harmonious. They lead us to heaven through mystical, spiritual insights and perceptions. Monday night and Tuesday, Venus squares Saturn. We consider the state of our

finances and resources, and the world’s finances in difficulty.

Wednesday is Cancer new moon. At new moon times we recognize, stand with, support and “uplift the hands, arms and endeavors of the New Group of World Servers and women and men of Goodwill everywhere.” The Cancer keynote when building the personality is “Let isolation be the rule, yet the crowd exists.”

After lifetimes spent building the personality (physical body, emotions, lower mind), unaware of the soul’s presence, we eventually become isolated, disconnected and lonely. This deep isolation creates in us a call for help. The soul, always listening, replies, directing its light, love, intelligence and will-to-good for the first time into the personality. A relationship begins between the personality and the soul. Isolation and loneliness cease. Realization of oneness, connectivity and unity are felt.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The new moon sheds light upon home, mother(ing), nurturance, nourishment and how you need to live. Is comfort and security found in your home? How are family relationships? Is there a need to move, redecorate, restructure or redesign? Dynamics with parents and family, a new foundation and more nurturance are assessed to meet emotional needs. Design and build a gate.

Libras are many times like Capricorns, climbing the ladder of success. At times, Libras feel great pressure concerning career, advancement, making money and public recognition. This creates a determination to advance, step around obstacles and pierce the glass ceiling. You also look for evidence of success through material resources.

In coming months different realities emerge. Know your service is seen, recognized, welcomed, and appreciated.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 There’s a need to make changes in thought and communication with self and with others. There’s more to be learned about listening carefully, understanding, speaking or not speaking.

As you listen and learn, new perspectives become clear along with new ideas. Listening is most important. All your endeavors create knowledge for others. You’re to bring about changes within the self for others to imitate.

Financial stability is important. In our financially unstable times, we must understand the undercurrents (reality) of our present and future economic situation. It’s important to be up to date, to read Catherine Austin Fitts’ (solari.com/ blog) site daily.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You’re being given the opportunity to delve into abstract thoughts, intangible to most, especially about beauty. You think about morals and ethics, religious practices, philosophical issues. You seek a new foundation and structure in life. It comes through study and cultural expansion. Travel, too.

Pursue the wisdom of the ages, in whatever culture you find yourself in. You’re to travel over the seas.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Attempt to share all things physical, material, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Sharing brings more and more resources forth. Perhaps you’ve never thought of true sharing till now. For our spiritual development, we must begin to share all that we have until one day we actually give ourselves away—a high level of spiritual development. Many of us are not here yet. But you’re swifter than most.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

The new moon calls you to greater self-identity, selfdevelopment, self-recognition and self-esteem seeing yourself as strong and reliable. It also brings forth an identity crisis; the old perceived self, ways and choices falling away. What you have done before must be changed. If you are determined to go about your life as before, without needed and practical adjustments, you will find yourself isolated and in danger. What needs to change in your life? What must you say yes or no to?

Perhaps in your mind there’s a pull between work and home, self and others, public and personal. This is difficult, as if you’re on a cross—pulled up and down and side to side.

Actually, you are. It’s the fixed cross and you’re being asked by the soul to offer yourself equally to all four areas of life.

To self, to the “other” (intimate), to family and to the world.

The emphasis is on family now and relationships. As you fulfill these duties to both, you are transformed.

LEO Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

There is great expansion within your heart, mind and self-identity. There has also been much grief, from long ago, with those you love as you were learning how to love.

In coming months you’ll be spiritually impressed with the fact that you are interdependent. Joy in your life is in direct relation to making real contact with others. Your rich reservoir of talents need expressing, for others to mentor.

There is a need to focus on health and nutrition. It’s essential that you reduce all things that lead to stress and overwork. This includes physical and psychological worries.

Having the intention to cooperate with others creates deep and lasting psychological health. Should there be anything you need in daily life, communicate this to others. Be very careful with finances and resources. Pray daily for right work, the right home and for nurturance.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 It would be good to study historical groups, masonry, different societies and the entire human race’s progression through the centuries. The history of humanity as a group becomes more interesting and significant. As we have true identity, our sense of selfworth is anchored and established. Then helping others and humanitarianism emerges and true service is a daily experience. Virgo is the sign of service.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re being subtly urged to express more affection and love. It brings joy to you; something deeply needed to strengthen your life force. Expressing true affection also develops balance and cultivates self-esteem. Often Pisces are ignored and not seen.

This can be a wound. A balance between spiritual and physical is essential for Pisces to feel happy and enjoy life. We become what we give. Notice those around you who love more. Imitate them.
