OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE This week’s cover story was one of those ideas—and there are more than you’d probably think—that came up in casual conversation during an editorial meeting, sparked a discussion, and then kept coming up over time, until somebody finally had the good sense to give it the proper cover story treatment. I promised I wouldn’t ruin the surprise of what the 10 inventions are in this column, which is really testing my willpower right now because ever since I found some of these out, I’ve wanted to blab

to pretty much everyone I meet, “Did you know such-and-such was invented in Santa Cruz?” Ironically, if I remember correctly, that’s the very question that originally inspired this article. It was Brad Kava who eventually decided to take it on, and what I like about the way he approached it is that beyond the gee-whiz factor of learning what was invented here, he also profiled some of the people behind them, and they’re fascinating, too. So if you’re one of those people who always has some million-dollar idea brewing in the back of your head, hurry up and get around to it before we start talking about “10 More Things You Didn’t Know Were Invented in Santa Cruz.” STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

MULE TRAIN

Re: “Deriding the Rails”: Several years ago, I sent in a letter and asked the question, “If you buy it, do you really own it?” The fact is that the railroad has the right to use the rail, forever! That is why the rail and right of way must be kept in good working order. The best [idea] would have been to use the money for a bridge from 49th Avenue and Capitola Road over Soquel River to Depot Hill at Park [Avenue]. That was the plan in 1975. Like they say, a fool with money is like a mule with a bike: He does not know what it is, and he does not know what to do with it. FRED HENRY | CAPITOLA

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: ACTIVISTS GET THE NOD If cities wanted to do the right thing— that would also cost them less of the public funds—they could take that same $300,000 (per year, I am guessing) and donate a piece of unused land to develop an Eco Village for the homeless. They could do so with tiny homes and homes built with cob, straw bales,

or earthbags, and use the help of the homeless to build those homes. Instead, they throw good money after bad and show everyone their lack of true compassion. — HAROLD THACKSTON | FOUNDER OF SHERWOOD FOREST ECO VILLAGE

Important social issues here always seem to attract the same activists who latch on to causes and offer lots of rhetoric and few solutions outside of blaming the government and wanting the government to fix it. There is an obviously quick work-around fix to the camping ban problem in the city of Santa Cruz, as evidenced in the story itself. Instead of trying to fight city hall—as the activists always like to do, and which really doesn’t help anyone actually have a place to sleep—they should encourage the homeless to sleep in county parks. The story itself says the county does not have a camping/sleeping ban. There are nearly 40 county parks in Santa Cruz. Give the homeless maps and get them transportation to those parks. Problem solved. —JOHN MILLER

PLEDGE OF AWARENESS

A Watsonville company called Marquez Bros. recently started making three-foottall Donald Trump piñatas. Sure, a more anatomically correct Trump would be filled with hot air, not candy. And his hair would be the first thing to fall off in a beating. Also, his head should be twice the size, and his mouth should be on his rear end. But it’s a start.

Last month, 12-year-old Coco Lazenby was killed in a car accident on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz. Her mother, Kate Pavao, is a member of the Santa Cruz Team in Training, which raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and also trains for marathons and other races. Friends and family are raising money to support Team in Training—with over $90,000 raised toward a $100,000 goal—to put a research grant in Coco’s name.

Week of September 9 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “More and more I have come to admire resilience,” writes Jane Hirshfield in her poem “Optimism.” “Not the simple resistance of a pillow,” she adds, “whose foam returns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuous tenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side, it turns in another.” You have not often had great access to this capacity in the past, Aries. Your specialty has been the fast and fiery style of adjustment. But for the foreseeable future, I’m betting you will be able to summon a supple staying power—a dogged, determined, incremental kind of resilience.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “The fragrance from your mango groves makes me wild with joy.” That’s one of the lyrics in the national anthem of Bangladesh. Here's another: “Forever your skies . . . set my heart in tune as if it were a flute.” Elsewhere, addressing Bangladesh as if it were a goddess, the song proclaims, “Words from your lips are like nectar to my ears.” I suspect you may be awash with comparable feelings in the coming weeks, Taurus—not toward your country, but rather for the creatures and experiences that rouse your delight and exultation. They are likely to provide even more of the sweet mojo than they usually do. It will be an excellent time to improvise your own hymns of praise.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Why grab the brain-scrambling moonshine when you may eventually be offered a heart-galvanizing tonic? Why gorge on hors d’oeuvres when a four-course feast will be available sooner than you imagine? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, my fellow Crab, the future will bring unexpected opportunities that are better and brighter than the current choices. This is one of those rare times when procrastination may be in your interest.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 As I hike up San Pedro Ridge, I’m mystified by the madrone trees. The leaves on the short, thin saplings are as big and bold as the leaves on the older, thicker, taller trees. I see this curiosity as an apt metaphor for your current situation, Leo. In one sense, you are in the early stages of a new cycle of growth. In another sense, you are strong and ripe and full-fledged. For you, this is a winning combination: a robust balance of innocence and wisdom, of fresh aspiration and seasoned readiness.

SEPTEMBER 9-15, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

There have been times in the past when your potential helpers disappeared just when you wanted more help than usual. In the coming weeks, I believe you will get redress for those sad interludes of yesteryear. A wealth of assistance and guidance will be available. Even people who have previously been less than reliable may offer a tweak or intervention that gives you a boost. Here’s a tip for how to ensure that you take full advantage of the possibilities: Ask clearly and gracefully for exactly what you need.

I hope it’s not too late or too early to give you a slew of birthday presents. You deserve to be inundated with treats, dispensations, and appreciations. Here’s your first perk: You are hereby granted a license to break a taboo that is no longer useful or necessary. Second blessing: You are authorized to instigate a wildly constructive departure from tradition. Third boost: I predict that in the next six weeks, you will simultaneously claim new freedom and summon more discipline. Fourth delight: During the next three months, you will discover and uncork a new thrill. Fifth goody: Between now and your birthday in 2016, you will develop a more relaxed relationship with perfectionism.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A “wheady mile” is an obsolete English term I want to revive for use in this horoscope. It refers to what may

National Drive Electric Week is presented by Plug in America, Sierra Club, and Electric Auto Association

happen at the end of a long journey, when that last stretch you’ve got to traverse seems to take forever. You’re so close to home; you’re imagining the comfort and rest that will soon be yours. But as you cross the “wheady mile,” you must navigate your way through one further plot twist or two. There’s a delay or complication that demands more effort just when you want to be finished with the story. Be strong, Libra. Keep the faith. The wheady mile will not, in fact, take forever. (Thanks to Mark Forsyth and his book Horologicon.)

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Trying improbable and unprecedented combinations is your specialty right now. You're willing and able to gamble with blends and juxtapositions that no one else would think of, let alone propose. Bonus: Extra courage is available for you to call on as you proceed. In light of this gift, I suggest you brainstorm about all the unifications that might be possible for you to pull off. What conflicts would you love to defuse? What inequality or lopsidedness do you want to fix? Is there a misunderstanding you can heal or a disjunction you can harmonize?

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Is feeling good really as fun as everyone seems to think? Is it really so wonderful to be in a groove, in love with life, and in touch with your deeper self? No! Definitely not! And I suspect that as you enter more fully into these altered states, your life will provide evidence of the inconveniences they bring. For example, some people might nag you for extra attention, and others may be jealous of your success. You could be pressured to take on more responsibilities. And you may be haunted by the worry that sooner or later, this grace period will pass. I’M JUST KIDDING, SAGITTARIUS! In truth, the minor problems precipitated by your blessings won’t cause any more anguish than a mosquito biting your butt while you’re in the throes of ecstatic love-making.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 In this horoscope, we will use the Socratic method to stimulate your excitement about projects that fate will favor in the next nine months. Here’s how it works: I ask the questions, and you brainstorm the answers. 1. Is there any part of your life where you are an amateur but would like to be a professional? 2. Are you hesitant to leave a comfort zone even though remaining there tends to inhibit your imagination? 3. Is your ability to fulfill your ambitions limited by any lack of training or deficiency in your education? 4. Is there any way that you are holding on to blissful ignorance at the expense of future possibilities? 5. What new license, credential, diploma, or certification would be most useful to you?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 The story of my life features more than a few fiascos. For example, I got fired from my first job after two days. One of my girlfriends dumped me without any explanation and never spoke to me again. My record label fired me and my band after we made just one album. Years later, these indignities still carry a sting. But I confess that I am also grateful for them. They keep me humble. They serve as antidotes if I’m ever tempted to deride other people for their failures. They have helped me develop an abundance of compassion. I mention this personal tale in the hope that you, too, might find redemption and healing in your own memories of frustration. The time is right to capitalize on old losses.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s never fun to be in a sticky predicament that seems to have no smart resolution. But the coming days could turn out to be an unexpectedly good time to be in such a predicament. Why? Because I expect that your exasperation will precipitate an emotional cleansing, releasing ingenious intuitions that had been buried under repressed anger and sadness. You may then find a key that enables you to reclaim at least some of your lost power. The predicament that once felt sour and intractable will mutate, providing you with an opportunity to deepen your connection with a valuable resource.

Villages become an obvious answer. The Sanctuary Camp strategy is successful in many northwestern cities and we’ve researched them, visited them and have created a workable model for Santa Cruz. A safe, clean place for people to sleep and keep some stuff while they begin to heal the circumstances of their lives is what is needed. This is a low-cost proven solution, complete with basic dignity-creating elements and key programs in a structured environment that will help solve the problem of homelessness for those who experience it and for our community as a whole.

BY JACOB PIERCE

The ancient Japanese martial art kata is made up of choreographed movements with weapons—sometimes a pair of sickles, or a long staff. Todd Dunphy wants to be the best in the world. Well, actually, Dunphy, a 55-year-old Soquel High graduate, thinks he already is. In 2015, he has already competed in 24 martial arts competitions, many of which he’s dominated. One was the Long Beach International Martial Arts Championship, where Bruce Lee was discovered 40 years ago. Dunphy, who sometimes competes against kids less than half his age, finished with 15 first-place awards, 11 second places, and one third place in kata and other martial arts. Often, he had to run from one event to the next—no trouble for a true competitor. “It’s not that tiring. I’m into it. That’s why I do it,” Dunphy says, reaching for his purple umbrella, which he hands to his girlfriend Miyuki Matsubara. Dunphy, also an avid surfer, says his dermatologist wants him to avoid the sun for two days, so he’s wielding this umbrella for protection. His story is a wild one—much of it dominated by battles with drugs, alcohol and the law—and a good portion of it based in Santa Cruz County. Dunphy is training constantly, and staying sober after getting out of a federal prison last summer for conspiracy to distribute 75 pounds of marijuana. His brothers Tim and Terry run the Watsonville Tae Kwon Do Academy and the Santa Cruz Martial Arts Academy, respectively. Dunphy originally wanted to play football for Cabrillo College in 1979, and says he was one of the best in the state. But at the end of summer practice, a low blow from a teammate put him out for several weeks. So he started getting serious about martial arts instead, as his older brothers already owned a studio. Dunphy says his girlfriend at the time preferred that he do martial arts anyway, since it allowed for a more flexible schedule for him to hang out with her. At age 21, he got his black belt. “I used to fight a lot,” Dunphy says. “I was a bouncer down at Tampico Kitchen down here and at the Catalyst. We were up above the Cookie Company. That’s where >14

Shopping Bawl American malls are disappearing. Is Capitola’s part of the trend? BY MAT WEIR

he 21st Century is a bleak one for the nation’s malls. Once meccas of middle-class suburban affluence, these plazas are quickly becoming ghost towns. Some of the country’s largest and oldest malls, like Michigan’s Northland Center, are already gone, while shopping centers like Maryland’s Owings Mills are practically on their last breath. A photography book by Seph Lawless called Black Friday: The Collapse of the American Shopping Mall depicts abandoned settings more fitting for a post-apocalypse film than a spending spree. Earlier this year, the New York Times reported that two dozen shopping

malls have closed in the past four years, with 60 more “on the brink.” Malls with 40 percent vacancy are considered highly at risk of closure, and any centers with upward of 70 percent vacancy are considered to be in critical condition. According to the Times, 15 percent of malls report 10-40 percent vacancy, up from 5 percent in 2006. Green Street Advisors, a leading real estate analysis firm, estimates that 15 percent of the nation’s 15,000 malls—or about 2,250—will go under in the next decade. The Great Recession left a wreckage of shopping centers in its wake after consumers tightened their wallets and refrained from spending the little money they had. An explosion

of online sales also tore away at the foundation of suburban capitalism, as consumers found cheaper sales and direct-to-door service with companies like Amazon and Ebay. According to the U.S. Census, e-commerce has risen 14.5 percent in the last year alone. With so much uncertainty in the former bastion of retail luxury, it’s no surprise that rumors are circulating about the health of our own Capitola Mall. “People are shopping a lot less,” explains an employee at Cathy Jean Shoes, who asked only to be identified as Bianca. “Especially since a lot of the bigger stores have shut down.” Shortly after opening in 1977, the Capitola Mall rivaled >13

NEWS SHOPPIN BAWL <10 Pacific Avenue as the Santa Cruz area’s premier shopping experience. However, in recent years several major retailers have left the mall, including Forever 21 (which is now on Pacific Avenue), J.C. Penney, Coach, Abercrombie & Fitch, Wet Seal—which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January—and most recently, Carl’s Jr. “A lot of people are going to San Jose or Salinas because our mall doesn’t carry stuff anymore,” says Bianca. She ventures that many businesses have left because of the high price of rent. Many mall employees were reluctant to give their full names for this story. A mall security guard eventually stopped GT from interviewing people at all. GT visited the mall’s management office, but a representative from Macerich—one of the country’s leading owners, operators and developers of major retail properties— which owns the Capitola Mall, wished to remain anonymous because they “don’t like to talk about the tenants.” The representative claims the Capitola Mall is still doing well, with new eateries like Gyros & Grill Express, Tres Bros Tacos and Five Guys Burgers coming within the next few months. She also says a “popular shoe store” will be opening up just in time for the Christmas season, however, she

declines to say which one. The rep, a four-year veteran, says rates are “very comparable” to rents on Pacific Avenue. The health of the mall isn’t just important for Macerich, or the retailers inside. Capitola city leaders project the sales tax from the mall will provide $7 million next year—half of its budget. It’s hard to determine exactly how many vacancies are currently in the Capitola Mall, with half of the food court under reconstruction, but it appears to be roughly 20 percent vacant, falling within the median range. It’s safe to say the state of our local mall isn’t totally apocalyptic, with some stores doing better than others. For instance, Hot Topic—the mall’s chain rock ’n’ roll clothing store—has a niche market with no real rival business in the Santa Cruz area. “We’ve seen a drop in foot traffic. But we’re still doing well for the season,” says Dai Graham, the store’s manager. “There would be an even better turnout if we had more things going on here [at the mall].” On a typical afternoon, the shopping center seems calm and almost lonely. Stray teenagers hang out, while mothers tend to their daily errands as a rush of mall employees dart between their lunch breaks and work. In 2011, the City of Capitola agreed to set aside $1.3 million to improve

Metro’s bus bay at the mall—moving it from the front to the back of the shopping center—in accordance to other beautification projects Macerich had planned. However, the mall owners have yet to break ground on any reconstruction. According to the 2011 deal, Macerich doesn’t have to begin work on the transit center until April 2017. Some people are anxious to see something get underway. “$1 million may not seem like a lot to [Macerich], but it is a lot to the City of Capitola,” states Capitola Planning Commissioner Susan Westman, adding that the company has been difficult for city officials to reach as well. Last year, Capitola once again tried pushing the mall forward by adopting new zoning codes and a new General Plan for environmental and financial sustainability. The General Plan calls for an evaluation of open-air mall opportunities. Still, the question remains: Are Santa Cruz residents willing to spend their hard-earned dough in a complex that seems so last century? “I don’t go there,” says Mark Hutchinson, a local general contractor. “Everything is marked up because you’re helping to pay for employee wages and rent … If you’re about ‘trimming the fat’ and saving money, it doesn’t make sense to go there.” Another Capitola City >16

“Are you thirsty for a different message about water?” asks Heather Houston. The classically and jazz-trained Santa Cruz vocalist wants to offer one such message this Saturday at her album release party for Prayers for the Water at Kuumbwa. Houston says that so much of environmentalism “can be so dry.” She hopes her album will “inspire people to create their own sacred relationship with water.” The nine tracks on the

album will be performed as “an expression of deep gratitude, infused with prayers for all our life-giving waters around us.” Houston didn’t set out to create an album about the drought. “I started creating the album and the message revealed itself as a prayer for water,” Houston says. “All of the songs were songs for water—for the rivers, oceans, tears—and they became the full album.” Her deep love for water is infused throughout the album. “I sang all of the songs with so

much devotion,” she says, “and my hope is that people will feel inspired by my relationship with water through the music.” Houston is putting her money where her mouth is, too—10 percent of album sale proceeds go to Save Our Shores, a nonprofit that stewards the Monterey Bay ecosystem. Houston’s album release party will resonate with the same prayerfulness as her new album, and she’ll be joined by multi-instrumentalist and producer Todd Boston, cellist Jami Sieber, pianist

Tammy Hall, percussionist Kevin DiNoto, and global music choir Yala Lati. “We will be performing with all of our hearts, and with all of our devotion,” she says. The stage will be set with bowls of water from different various water bodies as they “sing their prayers for sacred water.”

The show starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12 at Kuumbwa, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door.

THE NEXT KING OF KATA? At 55 years old, Santa Cruz’s Todd Dunphy is turning heads and breaking records in the world of martial arts.

HEAVY MEDAL <10 our studio was for years. … So, we’d train, and Thursday night was fight night, and we’d fight at the studio, and then we’d go to the Acapulco, and then we’d go to the Catalyst and then we’d cruise the mall and just get in trouble. Forever. It was on, man. We just loved to fight back in the day—me and all my brothers’ students, my friends. A lot of us were bouncers at all these bars, and we’d just get down.” As Dunphy talks, Matsubara—who has a yellow belt of her own—looks on with curiosity. This is the first time she’s heard his stories of fighting, partying and massive cocaine use. “I can’t do it anymore. I can’t drink or do any of that shit anymore,” Dunphy says. “It’s been years. Thank God. I’m lucky to

be alive, me and half the people I know.” Dunphy, who wants to become a stuntman, originally piqued our interest when he came into the GT office saying he had broken Chuck Norris’ record at the Long Beach International, one of the longest-running tournaments in the country, on Aug. 14 and 15. The previous record for most first-place awards was Norris, with six, which Dunphy shattered with 15 first-place awards. Steve Cooper, who runs the Long Beach International, says that although Dunphy may technically hold the record, comparing him to Norris might be going too far. First of all, there are way more divisions at tournaments these days. Also, Dunphy doesn’t get in the ring and fight as Norris used to in his prime. Dunphy’s

divisions, while competitive, are more akin to the floor routines at the Olympics. “For Todd to even compare himself to Chuck is not fair,” Cooper says. “I know Todd very well, and I know Chuck.” Of course, Cooper, who coached Dunphy on his team in the National Blackbelt League, admits Dunphy is still one of the top five in the world at kata. Mark Gerry, president of the Martial Arts Masters Association, says that’s a low estimate. He says Dunphy is No. 1, and he calls Dunphy’s accomplishments “unbelievable.” “His whole life he’s been very, very good at what he’s done. But to do it at this age, it’s almost impossible,” says Gerry, who Dunphy has trained with over the years. “It’s inspiring.” Gerry and Dunphy are checking

with the Guinness Book of World Records to see if he owns any world records. Gerry says Dunphy probably owns 15. Records aside, Dunphy’s main drive these days is to become the new “King of Kata.” The original King of Kata, Eric Lee, was featured on 45 magazine covers and retired in his 20s during the 1970s. Although he doesn’t compete anymore, Lee still follows the scene closely. Now something of a zen master, Lee is a trove of wise sayings and prefers not get to get caught up in the dayto-day. As far as Lee’s concerned, Dunphy “can call himself whatever,” but Lee sure does like what he sees. “There’s an old saying. A turtle never goes anywhere unless he sticks his neck out,” Lee says. “Todd is trying very hard, and he’s doing very well.”

Planning Commissioner, Gayle Ortiz, is already thinking big about possible futures for the mall. She believes the complex “might be too large for future use in retail,” because people aren’t gravitating toward shopping destinations in general these days. “The economic and retail landscape is changing so quickly that anything we’ve come up with —two years ago or even further back—is just not applicable,” says Ortiz. “I would like to see the city appoint an economic development committee with professionals, retailers and citizens to make recommendations for what the mall could be today.” Award-winning architect Andrés Duany, something of a visionary when it comes to urban planning, says that in the next century, people will look to work and shop where they live. “Grey fields,” as he calls them—parking lots and shopping malls—could one day become mixed-use, pedestrianfriendly communities with both housing and retail. That future is quickly approaching for some malls. Just last month, a Bay Area property company announced a $3 billion renovation of a failed Vallco shopping mall in Cupertino. The project boasts 800 residential units, 625,000 square feet of retail, a vineyard, and 2 million square feet for offices. To top all of that, it will have a 30-acre elevated park above the site, with almost four miles of hiking trails—making it the world’s largest green roof. Local architect Mark Primack is intrigued by the ambitious plan. He says it is time to start rethinking zoning laws, which generally create separate areas for different kinds of development. Primack recently worked on the mixed-use, 20-acre Delaware Addition Neighborhood, until the project was stalled for financial reasons. He believes cities like Capitola must start thinking outside the box when it comes to shopping malls and start envisioning eco-friendly mixed-use communities. “It’s like monocropping. We’re relying on just this one crop for our sustainability,” Primack says. “What happens when it fails?”

Big Ideas BY BRAD KAVA

THE CELL PHONE CAMERA Last week, Santa Cruz inventor Philippe Kahn had good reason to reflect back 18 years to the first time anyone shot a picture and sent it out to the world via cell phone. His daughter Sophie is now starting college at NYU, and while he was dropping her off, he says, it hit him how much had happened since she was born. She had been the subject of the first camera phone photo, taken on June 11, 1997. The idea came when he was sitting at Santa Cruz’s Sutter Maternity and Surgery Center waiting for his wife to give labor: He wanted to send the first baby photo of Sophie to his friends and family from his cell phone. During his wife Sonia Lee’s 18-hour labor, Kahn thought about how clumsy it would be to take a photo and upload it to his laptop to send out. Plus, he needed something to do. After a couple of trips to Radio Shack for soldering wire, he linked his Casio QV-10 point-and-shoot camera to his Motorola Startac phone, wrote some code, and voila! “The vision was ‘point, shoot and share instantly,’” the 63-yearold Kahn tells Good Times. “That vision gave birth to citizen journalism, telemedicine in

practical ways, and more generally letting Ms. and Mr. Everyone take and share more pictures than ever before. That’s a game-changer.” Kahn, a French immigrant with degrees in music (as a classical flautist) and math, showed up in Silicon Valley on a tourist visa and wanted to stay. He knew no one here and didn’t have a Green Card, but ended up getting a job making printer cables. He was making a different kind of connection, too— with tech power players, and it led to his co-founding of the software company Borland International in Scotts Valley in 1983. He went through ups and downs, including getting forced out of the company he founded in 1995 after an economic downturn. But Kahn’s entrepreneurial spirit wouldn’t quit. After the cell phone camera, he started Fullpower Technologies, which focuses on health apps for beds and watches. His devices tell how well and how long you slept and how much exercise you are getting. He has 75 people working for him in downtown Santa Cruz, and pays more than $25,000 a month for the county’s only billboard, on Highway 17, advertising to hire more engineers. A world-class sailor, Kahn has crossed the Pacific 10 times, and started the Pegasus Racing team. It was those long trips that inspired the Fullpower invention, as a way to monitor sleep during grueling trips. The monitors use technology that tracks micromovements to see how fitful sleep is. So why has he stayed in Santa Cruz all these years? “The first time I experienced the Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz, I decided that Santa Cruz has it all: surfing waves, sailing wind, mountainbiking trails,” Kahn says. “What an ideal playground to create new technology with like-minded passionate engineers.”

AUTO-TUNE

Depending on who you ask, music was either saved or destroyed by a man who first made his fortune listening to the sounds of the Earth to find oil. After getting his degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois in 1976, Harold (Andy) Hildebrand started his career at Exxon doing seismic research to look for fossil fuel. In 1979, he started his own company, which turned sound pumped underground into 3D oil maps. The technology involved blasting an explosive charge, and tracking the sound that came back. A concert flautist since he was 16, Hildebrand went back to music in 1989 to try something new. He was studying sound engineering when a woman at a trade show dinner asked him to make her a box that allowed her to sing in tune. “Everyone looked down at their plates,” says Hildebrand, 68, from his home in Felton. “I thought it was a lousy idea. But toward the end of the year, I was looking for

something else to do and I spent months developing it. I brought it to the same trade show.” The box, called Auto-Tune, enabled off-pitch digital signals to move to the right pitch. Studio engineers had been doing it for years with primitive technologies that took a long time to work. Hildebrand’s invention did it instantly, but for years no one wanted to admit to using it. Then came Cher’s 1998 song “Believe,” which not only put her in tune, but used a “zero-function” setting that created a machine-like pitch. The resulting effect was a sensation, but the single’s producer, Mark Turner, didn’t admit it had been created by Auto-Tune, and instead claimed that he had used a vocoder. Several subsequent artists who independently discovered how it was done kept up the vocoder facade, which allowed the technique to retain its mystique into the 21st century. By the time artists like T-Pain were basing their entire careers on it, though, the secret was out. “I put that setting in as a joke,” Hildebrand says of the now-

OUR BIG IDEAS <20 infamous effect. “Who would ever put it to zero?” As a music lover, he shares the same concerns as many critics of his invention. “An artist, a trained musician, knows it’s being used in every song because no one can humanly sing that well,” he says. “Some use it artistically, but others just use it everywhere and it gets kind of boring. I explain to people that I just build the car. I don’t drive it on the wrong side of the freeway.” When asked whether Auto-Tune is cheating, he says “there’s a grain of truth in that.” “On the other hand,” he says, “they are using reverb, microphones and other technologies to improve the sound. My wife uses make-up. Is that cheating?” In January, Hildebrand was at the NAMM music distributors trade show in Anaheim displaying his latest product, Auto-Tune for guitar. He hasn’t had to work for decades, but continues to because he loves it, even though it can be tedious—he wrote more than 300,000 lines of code for the guitar Auto-Tune. “Try doing that over three years,” he says. His business is based in Scotts Valley, and he lives in Felton, because “any town where you can raise chickens is a good town to live in.”

We’ve all heard about the technology created in garages over the hill, but odds are good you have used a product created out of a Santa Cruz garage. In 1961, two pilots unhappy with bulky, uncomfortable headsets that were the industry standard created a new lightweight design that has set a distance record– Plantronics headsets went to the moon, and were the conveyer of Neil Armstrong’s famous first words. Originally called Pacific Plantronics, the company started by Courtney Graham and Keith Larkin still has a state-of-the

CROSSFIT

Santa Cruzan Greg Glassman was a gymnast who wanted to get stronger. He found he was getting better results using barbells and dumbbells than other gymnasts who just used body weight for exercise. He started the CrossFit training program in a Santa Cruz gym in 1995, and his first client was the Santa Cruz Police Department. As demand for his training grew, Glassman and former wife Lauren Jenai incorporated the CrossFit brand in 2000 and moved to other markets. In 2012, there were 3,400 affiliates worldwide, and three in Santa Cruz. The regimen is known for being hardcore, including the use of tractor tires and high-intensity workouts with names like “Fran.” Glassman explains the choice in the CrossFit Journal: “I thought that anything that left you flat on your back, looking up at the sky, asking ‘what just happened to me?’ deserved a female name. Workouts are like storms, they wreak havoc on towns.” The program has its critics, who claim the rewards of such intense workouts aren’t worth the risks.

THE MODERN BIKE HELMET

THE GORILLAPOD

Santa Cruzan Jim Gentes didn’t invent the bike helmet; he created one that people actually want to wear. Before he made the Giro helmet in 1985, choices were slim. Some cyclists wore the leather straps fashionable with European racers. Others chose stodgy round Bell helmets that looked like white pumpkins. Gentes, 58, a bike racer with an eye for design and training from San Jose State University, came up with his first sleek Prolite helmet in 1985 (it was white with red Lycra covering the sides). Over the years, his helmets grew more flashy and light, with plenty of protection. Gentes sold the company to Bell in 1996. It’s now owned by EastonBell and still has a research and development plant in Scotts Valley.

Santa Cruz entrepreneur JoeBen Bivert made a fortune on a goofy-looking piece of soft hardware for cell phones called

the GorillaPod, which reached sales of $26 million a year. It’s a Gumbylike bendable tripod that holds cell phone cameras stable. But that was just the jumping off point for an entrepreneur who was trained at U.C. Davis and received a masters in 1997 from Stanford. He’s started a ranch called Sproutwerx for startups on Santa Cruz’s North Coast and he has companies working on drones, flying cars, wind turbines and robots. He’s a local version of Elon Musk. The secluded ranch, near the electricityfree Merry Prankster hippie commune on which he was raised, also grows its own organic food. Some of his companies based at the ranch on Woodpecker Ridge include: Joby Aviation, which makes a craft that builds hovering flying crafts; Transition Robotics, which makes hovering toys; Joby Energy, which makes flying vehicles that generate energy from the wind; and Swift Navigation, which makes GPS systems that update 50 times a second— something that could help make flying cars a reality.

THE ‘POWER PITCHER’ PITCHING MACHINE

There are several claims to the first baseball pitching machine, and one of them belongs to Santa Cruz’s Lorenzo “Larry” J. Ponza, Jr., who developed the “Power Pitcher” in 1952. They are still selling the machines after his death in 2004 at the age of 86. The first claim to a pitching machine was Charles Hinton, whose 1897 gunpowder-fired balls were fast, furious and caused injuries to the Princeton University baseball team, where he developed it. Two others are credited with the arm-type machine pitcher. One is Paul Giovagnoli, whose company, Master Pitching Machine, still sells the machines. The other, Santa Cruz’s Ponza, was born to Italian immigrants in Scotts Valley and created the “Power Pitcher” to help Little Leaguers. His machines, including the “Casey” and the “Rookie” are sold by the Athletic Training Equipment company of Sparks, Nevada.

NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING

What if you could make people want things by giving them a series of unconscious messages and clues? That’s a simplified description of Neuro Linguistic Programming. It’s marketing to the max, although UCSC professor John Grinder and student Richard Bandler, who founded what was a part of the “Human Potential Movement,” had other things in mind, such as helping people break out of bad habits by modeling good ones. They claimed people could gain exceptional skills by imitating the practices of those who have them, and said NLP could treat phobias, depression, psychosomatic illnesses and even allergies. Their claims

are controversial, to say the least, but have gained popularity from followers such as TV sales pitch guru Tony Robbins. The duo’s methods were outlined in the 1975 tome The Structure of Magic I: A Book About Language and Therapy.

OSPREY PACKS

In the 1970s, Mike Pfotenhauer made a name for himself in Santa Cruz with a company called Santa Cruz Recreational Packs. It was a backpack company run out of the front of his house that produced custom-fitted, made-to-order backpacks. Word of mouth about the business kept a line of travelers coming to his door and waiting for days to have their packs made. Eventually, he began designing his own line of packs, based on what he’d learned from customer requests, and called it Osprey Packs. The company was a pioneer of the breathable mesh that is now ubiquitous on outdoor gear. Pfotenhauer and partner Diane Wren moved the company to Colorado in 1987, and later to Vietnam, but the respected brand of packs with a lifetime warranty lives on.

THE LOGANBERRY What do you get when you cross a blackberry and a raspberry? A Loganberry, the hybrid that was invented in Santa Cruz in 1883 by lawyer and gardener James Logan— who created it quite by accident. Logan was trying to mix two varieties of blackberries to make a tastier one, but they mixed instead with a nearby “Red Antwerp” raspberry. Loganberries are said to be sturdier and more frost resistant than many other berries, and are used for syrups, desserts and soft drinks.

You hold down the groove. If you can do that while Jaco is soloing, you can get work.” Lee had no trouble holding down work. For over 33 years and 6,000 episodes, the always sharp-looking Lee rocked and rolled in the house band for The Late Night with David Letterman show. Lee’s distinctive bass and vocals can also be heard on a cavalcade of pop and rock albums including Steely Dan, Mick Jagger, the Bee Gees, Aretha Franklin and Cat Stevens, which is amazing, considering Lee’s fulltime job for three decades allowed very little time off. With Letterman’s retirement, Lee is now free to travel the world. He is currently in Sapporo, Japan, the last town of a two-week tour with Akiko Yano and Chris Parker on drums. Lee also splits his time with his Beatles cover band the Fab Faux, and is promoting his new solo release, “Love, Gratitude and Other Distractions.” From the road in Japan, he summed up his work ethic. “Projects are what I want to do. I’m happy to be working and looking forward to playing the Monterey Jazz Festival,” he says. When Will Lee takes the stage on Friday, Sept. 18, he will be joined by an army of bass players, with Monterey Jazz Festival alumni Christian McBride and Pastorius’ son, Felix. Featuring music from every era of Pastorius’ career, Weather Report members Peter Erskine and Alex Acuna will also be performing in “Jaco’s World: The Music of Jaco Pastorius” at the Arena Stage.

Lo San

<28 From his work with Weather Report to Joni Mitchell, Jaco’s lyrical bass lines were always clearly the voice of a singular artist. Lee’s father, meanwhile, was the dean of the University of Miami’s department of music, and one day called Lee, offering him a chance to head up the brand-new electronic bass department. Lee demurred, telling his father, “I’m killing it here in New York City. I’m doing eight sessions a day and loving it.” So his father called the second person on his list—Jaco Pastorius. “Jaco was one of those guys that really got influenced by what he heard, like R&B,” says Lee. “He would take what he heard and run with it. Jaco lived so intensely, he lived as if he knew he would die young. But while he was here, he made sure that he firmly planted some seeds that would grow into a large blossoming plant that would feed us for a long time. He is still kicking everybody’s ass. In Jaco’s case, he brought things out of that instrument that nobody else has. He took so many chances, with such fervor, that he’s informing generations of people with the work he has done.” Lee recalls that his friends Hiram Bullock, Mark Egan and Frank Gravis were University of Miami students when Pastorius took the job. “They all had the same story about what it was like to be in his presence,” recalls Lee. “He would say, ‘Play this groove’—then he would solo over your groove for an hour. And that was the lesson. It’s not exactly a rip-off. If you think about the meat and potatoes of a bassist’s living, that’s what it is.

MEMOIRS OF A VETERAN Growing up in the Depression era, surviving war, love and loss, local author Ed Larson writes auto-

biography about his time in World War II’s lesser-known operations. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

SEPTEMBER 9-15, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘Spear’ Parts

Santa Cruz nonagenarian Ed Larson illuminates lesser-known history of World War II in autobiography BY MARTY DUNN

efore his 21st birthday, Santa Cruz artist and author Ed Larson had already co-piloted five round-trip missions “across the hump” of the Himalayas, from India to China, at the controls of supply-laden B-24s en route to soldiers fighting the Japanese. It was January 1943, and he was in the thick of World War II’s lesserknown China-Burma-India Theater of Operations The now 91-year-old Larson finally yielded to friends’ urgings and penned his autobiography, Spear-Carrier in a Backwater War. He explains the title: “In opera, a ‘spear-carrier’ is a standin. ‘Backwater’ refers to the World War II China Theater of Operations. This

slice of the war—Japan vs. China— was kind of an afterthought when contrasted with the European and South Pacific fronts.” Relying on his keen memory, as well as some 350 saved letters he’d sent home from Asia, the tome is chockablock with photos and Larson’s original drawings, and details some of his white-knuckle wartime experiences—including midflight oxygen deprivation, engine “idiosyncrasies,” hazardous cargo and wicked storms. A community television feature based on the book is currently in discussion, and Larson has taken his story to interested local groups and high schoolers, many of whom had never

heard of this aspect of World War II. Spear-Carrier is Larson’s fourth book. “Writing is like building a house, and the words are the nails that stick it all together,” Larson says of his love for the art form. After being discharged from the Army Air Corps in 1946, Lt. Larson was a veteran not yet of legal voting or drinking age. Returning to civilian life was more difficult than he anticipated: he moved back to Seattle, his 1924 birthplace, and re-enrolled at the University of Washington, but flunked out, ending up in different jobs from Hawaii to Alaska, with “the wheels coming off my life,” as he describes it. Meeting his lifetime love, Marilyn, turned things around. A

few years after welcoming their daughter in 1951, Larson went after his B.A. and teaching credential. He was immediately hired to teach junior high art. By 1963, he was promoted to district administration and retired in 1983. Larson never thought he’d end up in Santa Cruz. When he’d first visited on his honeymoon, the weather was wet and gray, and he took an instant dislike to the place: “The ocean was no stranger to me, and I loved it—just not there,” he says. Yet, after several summers spent in Seabright, at his wife’s family home, Larson’s reaction evolved: “There’s an ambiance of tradition, culture—a soul of living—that permeates the place,” he says. Upon Larson’s retirement, the couple bought a 90-year-old home in Seabright, where Larson set up his studio in the back, free to write and paint as his heart desires. He’s tended more toward commercial art, working in acrylics because they’re “fast, permanent, flexible, archival,” he says. Some of his art is on public view at the Santa Cruz Harbor, where he has created much of the informational signage. With the encouragement of then-Port Director Brian Foss (“the soul of the Harbor,” Larson says), he created a curriculum encompassing the history of the Harbor and the Monterey Bay, even researching the path of the early Manila galleons that sailed local waters. Fulfilling a personal goal, Larson received his captain’s license from the intensive Coast Guard program in his 80s. He finds comfort around the docks, and especially identifies with fishermen, knowing “how their boats smell and their engines work.” Losing his wife in 2012 was devastating, but the Seabright community and his “unusually cohesive” family—including his daughter, two granddaughters, and five great-grands—are his mainstays. Then there’s Fiona, his Yorkie: The twosome are regular amblers on Seabright’s avenues. At his age, he says, he’s not “trying to cram things in before the lid goes on. I think of life as a corridor that one walks through; it’s narrow so you bump the sides from time to time.”

Show of Faith

Blackalicious duo rewards patient fans with their first record in a decade BY AARON CARNES

t’s been 10 years since Sacramento alternative hip-hop duo Blackalicious released their last record. Their fourth album, Imani Vol. 1, which they’ve been working on for the last three years, will finally be released Sept. 18, and fans who have checked the duo out live in recent months have gotten a sneak peek at some of the tracks. I caught a compelling a cappella rendition of the song “Blacka” (which they shared online last month) at a recent show, and it’s not only the strongest song on the album, it’s one of their best to date. According to DJ/Producer Chief Xcel, half of the Blackalicious duo along with rapper Gift of Gab, “Blacka”

was the first track they recorded for the new album. It’s a song that mixes humor and honesty, delivering an empowering message on what it means nowadays to be African American. (“Bodies like the builders of the pyramids in Africa/Funky like Good Times, Soul Train, and What’s Happening/Blacka than the president— well, half of him.”) “It’s at the core of what Blackalicious is,” says Xcel. “It’s really to show the diversity of blackness. Being black means so many things.” While the rest of the record isn’t quite as strong as “Blacka,” it’s a consistent and confident album overall, in line with the established

Blackalicious sound but a bit more emotive and down-to-earth compared to the heady intellectual records they’re known for. Imani Vol. 1 is the first in a trilogy of albums that the group will be releasing over the course of two years. That’s as many as they released up to this point in their 20-year career (which include 1999’s Nia, 2002’s Blazing Arrow and 2005’s The Craft). “It’s really more of one big album with three separate, individual entities,” Xcel explains. “When we went in on this record, we really went in. We recorded 45 songs. How do you narrow that down to 12-15 songs? We look at each record as being a chapter

in our lives. That’s why sometimes it takes longer for certain records to be done—cause we need more life to have more to talk about.” The title of the album means “Faith” in Swahili, and Gab and Xcel have both stated that this is the record’s theme. There were some difficult circumstances around the record, namely Gab suffering a kidney failure in 2012, which motivated them to put their all into this three-volume set. They sound as positive, passionate and hopeful as ever. “It’s about perseverance. When Gab’s kidney’s failed, we didn’t know if there were going to be any more records, but we knew that this is our calling,” Xcel says. “Being able to share these records with the planet is what our purpose is, having faith in that.” Xcel says that he used far fewer samples this time, relying more on live instruments. Gab, who bounces off of Xcel’s production, takes a more measured, simplified approach to his verses. The two musicians stay in sync with one another more than just about anyone else in hip-hop. When I interviewed Gab a few years back, he compared their musical relationship to two jazz musicians riffing off of each other. “Gab is on point,” Xcel says. “But my analogy is like we’re two players in the NBA that are in the prime of their career. We know each other so well creatively that I can see where he’s going with something and he can see where I’m going, and we just develop the song. That’s how our chemistry is in the studio.” This back-and forth-dynamic has sparked some great hip-hop albums in the past, most notably, Blazing Arrow, arguably one of the best underground hip-hop albums ever made. While Imani Vol. 1 doesn’t have that record’s cutting-edge complexity, they make good use of a more simple approach. “I think, as time goes on, we find ways to be more efficient at getting that point across, at getting straight to it,” Xcel says. “From day one, our aim has always been to make classic hip-hop that represents who we are as people and who we are as artists and musicians, as well.” INFO: 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12, Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/Adv, $22/ Door. 429-4135.

Certain events in life carry a built-in divider, a “before and after” the event. Photos, speciﬁc Christmases or Passovers, even long hair, all can fall into the “that was before (insert your event here)” or after it. Usually painful. Whether it is a stroke, a heart attack, dementia or a quick spiral of decline due to aging, there is usually a marker that reminds you when life was “normal,” although rarely do we recognize those times when we are in the midst of them. One would be wise to recognize that the “normal days,” the relatively carefree days when there is no crisis or heavy burden of care, go by so languidly, so stealthily we don’t see them for what they are: sweet days of average troubles. Precious, limited in number. Like a happy marriage, you are surrounded in care and stability. What sticks out are the highs and lows, but you take for granted the foundational things. Sort of like oxygen. We don’t stop to offer thanks for it daily, but its sudden departure leaves us breathless, as does the sudden departure of a taken for granted spouse. Or the sunny disposition of your mom when suddenly she has a stroke. Before and After. Love the people in your life fully. There may be a “before and after” lurking.

It all began with a trashcan, Murphy the Spaniel, a chance conversation with a friend, a doctor’s appointment, and a world-renowned conductor. Throw in the talented musicians who are willing to travel to Felton from far and wide, and you’ve got yourself the perfect recipe for Music on the Mountain with Espressivo, a “small, intense” orchestra led by Michel Singher. Singher has conducted 70 operas in hundreds of performances in Europe and the U.S., including Berlin Radio Symphony and Oberlin Orchestra. Espressivo’s performance will benefit valley schools with the assistance of their partnership of the SLV Foundation for Education and local sponsors. Info: 4 p.m., San Lorenzo Valley Performing Arts Center, Felton. 234-0236. slvfoundation.org.

WEDNESDAY 9/16 COMERICA ECONOMIC OUTLOOK WITH ROBERT A. DYE No matter how much you hated or loved (nerd alert) your high school economics class, the core of the subject is in everything: it’s behind why you chose to buy Dawn instead of the CVS-brand dish soap, why you debated biking instead of driving to work today, even why you’re thinking it’s better to stay in and watch Netflix instead of going out for drinks tonight. To understand people, you have to understand Economics, which is why this Wednesday Sept. 16., Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Comerica Bank, Robert A. Dye, will present research and analysis on the current state of our nation’s economy. From why China’s market crash affects the grocer at Whole Foods to how global trends might influence your retirement plan, Dye’s talk is meant to help people understand their financial reality.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

WALLY JOYNER Baseball fans, we’ve got some bad news for you: former California Angels first baseman Wally Joyner has not recently started playing rock shows in Santa Cruz. “Wally Joyner” is the name of a new local indie rock quartet—and no one in the band is even a pro baseball player! “We’re all huge baseball fans,” guitarist/ singer Alan Trybom explains. “We’re not trying to be ‘the baseball band’ or anything. It was just a name we could all agree on.”

SEPTEMBER 9-15, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The band name is where the baseball references end; otherwise they are a solid guitar-driven, high-energy ’90s indie-rock-influenced outfit. They’ve only been a band for nine months, and in that short time they’ve produced a demo on Bandcamp that sounds well beyond a band still cutting its teeth. Not only is the recording quality top-notch, but the guitar interplay between Trybom and Drew Erskine is also layered and complex.

Trybom, Erskine and bassist Chris Kruger have all been playing together in some band or another—most recently in Little Sister—for 15 years, and they’ve known drummer Marc Tinger for a number of years. “We’re just like four best friends,” Trybom says. “We’ve been playing together forever, it’s just in a band that nobody’s ever heard of.” As intricate as the songs sound, they actually spend very little time working them out. Instead, they take a more punk-rock approach of capturing the immediacy of their ideas. “If we have an idea for a song, we try to get it done that night,” Trybom says. “We always talk about bands like the Replacements and Guided By Voices— that’s who we’re influenced by—these guys that just crank it out and it sounds like what it sounds like.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 9/10 CAJUN

JIMMY BREAUX Jimmy Breaux has Cajun music running thick through his veins. The standout accordionist from the celebrated Louisiana band BeauSoleil, Breaux hails from a long line of Cajun musicians, including father Preston Breaux, grandfather Amédé Breaux, his great grandfather Auguste Breaux, and his great-aunt Cleoma Breaux, who was married to Joe Falcon, one of the genre’s pioneers in the 1930s. These days, Jimmy Breaux holds the family’s musical mantle, and is widely considered one of the best Cajun players around. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $12/adv, $15/door. 603-2294.

FRIDAY 9/11 INDIE ROCK

TIME SPENT DRIVING If the name Time Spent Driving rings a bell then you’ve spent an awesome

life in Santa Cruz. Originally formed in 1999 by members of Fury 66, Good Riddance and Here Kitty Kitty, Time Spent Driving pioneered its own blend of emotionally positive postpunk into a melodic indie-rock sound years ahead of its time. After several tours, one EP, two full-length albums, a two-year hiatus in 2003, and one breakup in 2012, the band is back with a new album in 2015, Passed & Presence. Throughout the years, they’ve kept the dreamy and sad—yet somehow uplifting—feel that defined their sound and the emo genre. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

PUNK

PUNK ROCK KARAOKE Sometimes you can find a cool karaoke bar that has a handful of Ramones and Clash songs. But at the end of the day, you’re still singing to backing tracks. Imagine standing on a stage, belting out all your favorite punk rock tunes backed by a real-life punk rock band. Punk Rock Karaoke will do you one better: you can sing all your favorite punk tunes backed by a band of punk rock

legends. The Punk Rock Karaoke band features members of Bad Religion, Circle Jerks and Adolescents and Dickies. Don’t forget to stage dive when you’re done. AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $13/door. 429-4135.

ROCK

THE GO AHEAD Alex Mamelok, Chris Kelly and Josh Hurtz blaze through blues, post-hardcore and melodic rock as if it were second-nature to combine such brazenly different genres. Then singer Kyna Wise steps up to the mic and finds her full vocal range, from a sultry Fiona Apple sound to a Stevie Nicks pitch. This is the group for fans of Incubus, the Kills, Red Hot Chili Peppers—or basically anyone who can list “music” as a pleasure. The Go Ahead will also be joined by local prog rockers Night Dive and Hologram Sun, along with metal duo Power Strip, for a night as eclectic as the musicians performing it. MW INFO: 9 p.m. The Blue Lagoon, 932 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

Mention Tuvan throat singing in any crowd and you’re guaranteed to get some blank looks. But to those in the know, the singing style—if it can even be reduced to being called that—is nothing less than mind-blowing, a resonant style of singing multiple pitches at the same time that transports listeners and practitioners to another place and time. The members of Alash are masters of the traditional art while gently moving it forward with modern influences, Western instruments, and new sounds that blend the ancient with the modern. CJ

Musicians are always debating technology’s role in art, the fear being that the convenience of modern wizardry will suck the soul out of the music. Local collective Liberation Movement believes they can achieve higher levels of spirituality by creating a multimedia experience that fuses old and new technologies. Inspired by tribal chants, the mystical sounds of the Amazon Rainforest and reggae, they create an overall experience that has more in common with a religious ceremony than a rock concert. AC

Jacky Terrasson emerged victorious from the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition and created a sensation with his hair-trigger trio featuring bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Leon Parker. He’s been more visible in Europe than the U.S. in recent years, but the French-born pianist is still one of the most exciting players on the scene and a master of dynamics. His quartet features bassist Burniss Travis III, Cuban percussionist Mauricio Herrera and the phenomenal 24-year-old drummer Justin Faulkner.

FILM

STEVE JABS After demystifying Scientology in ‘Going Clear,’ director Alex Gibney has set his sights

on the celebrated co-founder of Apple in ‘Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine.’

The Mean in the Machine SEPTEMBER 9-15, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

New Steve Jobs documentary shows how ruthless the Apple co-founder could be BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

teve Jobs is still casting a shadow, four years after his death on Oct. 5, 2011. Upcoming is Aaron Sorkin’s biopic, Steve Jobs, featuring Michael Fassbinder as a prototypical, Sorkin-ian, magnificent-bastard type. Cooler and more urgent is this week’s stirring documentary, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine. Alex Gibney (of the Scientology exposé Going Clear) celebrates the Apple co-founder’s accomplishments, while demagnetizing Jobs’ cult of personality. In voiceover, Gibney confesses his own love for Apple products and Pixar’s Wall-E. He sets up the dichotomy and then proves it true: the lovable machines versus the “ruthless, deceitful and cruel” man who sired them.

The thought-provoking interviews flow down a stream of music from one of Jobs’ favorites, Bob Dylan. Chrisann Brennan, the mother of Jobs’ child, describes his callousness here as she did in her memoir. In her book, she wrote, “Steve’s lack of fair play seems shameless to me.” If Jobs dealt harshly with the paternity of his daughter, Lisa, he had the excuse of being an adopted child … in the same sense that a parricidal killer has the excuse of being an orphan. There were others who loved the man. Bob Belleville, one weeping former Apple exec, quotes the eulogy he wrote, recalling that “Santa Claus” was of the faces of Steve. Many still believe in that Santa, remembering the advent of the iPod, the iMac, the iPad. Gibney’s work will be blasphemy to

the kind of people who put “#iSad” on their Facebook pages on that October day four years ago. Perhaps little crimes indicate indifference to bigger ones. Jobs was an able-bodied jerk who took handicapped parking spaces. But Gibney checks off a bigger roster, including Apple’s tax sheltering of $137 billion overseas. After Jobs returned to the company he founded as a temporary CEO, he unplugged its charitable work. There were the matters of the suicide-wracked Foxconn factory; the downstreaming of pollution and unsafe working conditions; the gaming of stock options; Jobs’ behind-the-scenes maneuver to fix salaries among several Silicon Valley giants, in an effort to keep the Valley one big company town.

Retold here is the comic affair of the iPhone 4 prototype—forgotten in a bar by a tipsy Apple employee. The tale turned scary when Gizmodo reporter Jason Chen, who received the phone, had his apartment door busted by R.E.A.C.T., a consortium of police aimed by a “steering committee” of two dozen high-tech companies, including Apple. Jobs demonstrated the truth of the axiom that at 50, you get the face you deserve. In his dying days, he resembled The Simpsons plutocrat Mr. Burns. Burns himself might have gone on camera as Jobs did, to suggest that, on the bright side, the Chinese suicide rate is still smaller than what we’ve got in the U.S. In an animated sequence, we learn about Jobs’ intense spiritual side, and his youthful desire to be a Zen monk, as Jobs’ mentor Kobun Chino Otugawa describes having a midnight drink with Jobs at the Tea Cup bar in Los Altos. There was genuine vision in the way Jobs thought of the computer as a tool for personal growth, not a simple calculator for bean-counting. Jobs took the terror out of the personal computer. He was right. There was so much to gain. The fearmongers were right, too: there was a good reason to be worried about lack of privacy and the erosion of personality. Jobs’ mystique was always a bit sinister—love and fear go hand in hand in the marketing game. One tidbit we see here: a vintage magazine advertisement showing an Apple computer that sold for $666.66—sold, yet, with a logo that is the symbol of temptation and the Fall of Man. The only way to fully appreciate these magic little machines is to understand that they’re the result of ceaseless health-ruining, family-fracturing labor by people whose names we will never know. Belleville describes Jobs’ career as “a life well and fully lived,” yet Jobs’ struggle never ended. His designs became obsolete, like the commodities they are. Considering them all is like considering Jobs’ life: you don’t know whether to marvel over the achievement or mourn over all the waste. STEVE JOBS: THE MAN IN THE MACHINE Directed by Alex Gibney. Unrated, 127 mins.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

90 MINUTES IN HEAVEN It’s probably safe to say that any 7th grader would’ve killed for ninety minutes in heaven instead of just seven. This isn’t that kind of movie, though. Instead, it starts out with Don Piper, played by Hayden Christensen (almost unrecognizable with a mustache) who narrates his own journey into the afterlife. 90 Minutes is based on the true story of Don, who was the self-described “man who had it all” with three children and a lovely wife (played by Kate Bosworth), until a horriﬁc car accident kills him. Ninety minutes later, he wakes up, claiming he saw heaven. Michael Polish directs. Kate Bosworth, Hayden Christensen, Hudson Meek co-star. (PG-13) 121 minutes.

AMERICAN ULTRA Since 1953, the government has been running a top-secret project to control soldiers planted in civilian life. Now, agent Howell has been activated: only, he doesn’t really know it yet because he is wayyy too high. Jesse Eisenberg plays the convenience store cashier who discovers a set of lethal skills he never knew he had when he kills some carjackers with a spoon. “There’s a chance I may be a robot,” he tells his girlfriend Phoebe, played by Kristen Stewart—brilliantly cast, as side by side the couple looks like versions of each other. Stewart might even crack that face with some more facial expressions than usual in what looks like a hilarious action comedy. Nima Nourizadeh directs. Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Connie Britton co-star. (R) 95 minutes.

SEPTEMBER 9-15, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE PERFECT GUY Leah is at the top of her game, good job, great boyfriend, genuine friends—but, she wants the house with the kids as well. When her all-star boyfriend doesn’t measure up, she moves on—right into the arms of the oh-so suave Carter, who seems, at ﬁrst glance, completely perfect. Except, Carter (played by the gorgeously blue-eyed Michael Ealy, sorry we’ll try not to drool) has got a temper, and when Leah tries to distance herself she ﬁnds that he’s not all that easy to get rid of. David M. Rosenthal directs. Michael Ealy, Sanaa Lathan, and Morris Chestnut co-star. (PG-13) 100 minutes.

LEARNING TO DRIVE Ben Kingsley plays a Sikh driving instructor who, through wise parables and street know-how, teaches a New York writer with marriage troubles how to take the wheel, both on the road and in the rest of her life. Patricia Clarkson, Jake Weber, Sarita Choudhury, Grace Gummer and Samantha Bee from The Daily Show co-star. Isabel Coixet directs. (R) 90 minutes. 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.

A WALK IN THE WOODS Tired of death and funerals, Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) wants to hike the Appalachian Trail. But his his wife, played by the everlovable Emma Thompson, forbids him to go it alone so after exhausting his list of old friends—who find going to the doctor for a colonoscopy adventure enough—he’s joined by Stephen, played by a perfect Nick Nolte. The duo appear a delightful match to defy geriatric expectations in the tale of one last hurrah, and Nolte, who has arguably never looked better, plays the old loon with such charm you’d think he’s finally found a role that suits him. Ken Kwapis directs. (R) 104 minutes. BEFORE WE GO In the tradition of a Meg Ryan romcom, it’s a New York City romance where accidental acquaintances are first at odds but become midnight lovers after the maiden is robbed, stranded in Manhattan, and the knight comes to her rescue. Ah the swooning ladies (and gents) watching with a box of chocolate and bottle of wine (or several) will be hearts all aflutter and, yes, we’ll all come to believe that this is precisely what happens when you venture to New York City in search of a fairytale ending—but whether it’s a cheese fest or a real nostalgic love story, we’ll see what Chris Evans, who stars and directs, can pull off. Chris Evans, Alice Eve, Emma Fitzpatrick costar. (PG-13) 89 minutes.

THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL: We know that teenage boys think about sex every minute of every day; but teenage girls? Finally, a film that explores the possibility that young females aren’t only pious pre-nuns and may also go through hormonal stages with their own, very confusing awakenings. Sure, it might be an awkward topic, but don’t let the tediously tween title dissuade. Newcomer Bel Powley looks delightful as the innocently explorative Minnie who after sleeping with her mother’s boyfriend (played by Alexander Skarsgård and her mother by Kristen Wiig), finds herself in a new world rife with possibilities— all painted with animated illustrations which soften the whole adolescent sexuality conversation. Marielle Heller directs. Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgård, Kristen Wiig co-star. (R) 102 minutes. HITMAN: AGENT 47 It’s funny because this looks like the serious version of American Ultra; Agent 47 is a genetically engineered super agent with a perfectly shaped head and a face that never smiles. Oh, he’s also been hired by that guy from Heroes to kill some lady but it turns out she’s just like him! A film where people say things like “He’s here … to kill you,” with dramatic pause, and “Pretty crazy, huh?” and characters have “subdermal titanium body armor”—leaving you to wonder if all the good lines have already been taken … but all sarcastic nitpicking aside, Hitman does look like a pretty decent kickass action flick. We hope the Homeland bad boy can deliver as leading gentleman, but if not Hannah Ware looks tough enough for the both of them. Aleksander Bach directs. Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto co-star. (R) 96 minutes. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE- ROGUE NATION At this point, audiences might be thinking it’s Tom Cruise in another of these franchise films that is truly impossible (did they get him in a lifetime deal with the devil?), although, as far as action franchises go, needing to eradicate a rogue international organization with equally skilled agents sounds creative enough. At least all the

characters surrounding Cruise—from Simon Pegg’s unflinching wit to the best British pout of 2015 (we’re looking at you Rebecca Ferguson) to the incandescence of Alec Baldwin’s face— make up for the tired resurrection of Ethan Hunt. Christopher McQuarrie directs. Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, and Jeremy Renner co-star. (PG-13) 131 minutes. PHOENIX Disfigured, alone, and heartbroken Nelly is the lone member of her family to have survived the concentration camps. Now the war is over and after receiving surgery that leaves her unrecognizable she returns home to crumbling, postwar Berlin in search of her husband—possibly the one who revealed her Jewish identity to the Nazis. Nina Hoss plays Nelly in this German drama which takes on the narrative feat of postwar reality—although the war between Germany and the Allies had finally ended, the war between victims and collaborators had just begun. Christian Petzold directs. Nina Hoss, Ronald Zehrfeld, Nina Kunzendorf co-star. (PG-13) 98 minutes. RICKI AND THE FLASH Meryl Streep is the queen of cinema: what other actress can play a self-righteous nun, a famous chef, the Iron Lady, and a totally badass fulltime rocker—all with the sincerity and ease of someone folding their socks? She’s magic: deniers can shoo. We’ll try to keep the swooning at a minimum … but with Streep at the helm of this cast—boasting forever favorite Kevin Kline, Streep’s own offspring Mamie Gummer—and Juno writer Diablo Cody, as the one behind the rock ’n’ roll momma’s story, it is so, so hard. Jonathan Demme directs. Mamie Gummer, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Sebastian Stan co-star. (PG-13) 102 minutes. SHAUN THE SHEEP From the claymation masters who brought us the genius of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit comes another installation in Shaun’s epic story of lambish mischief and farm-to-city adventures. The lovable, goofy sidemouthed goons who are timelessly plasticine and innocently hilarious can do no wrong, even if they’re not Pixar-made. This time it’s sneaky

Shaun the sheep who decides to take a day off from the farm, but after a mix-up with the farmer, the whole flock is off to the city in an attempt to get everyone back home safely before anyone is made mincemeat. Mark Burton and Richard Starzak direct. Justin Fletcher, John Sparkes, and Omid Djalili co-star. (PG) 85 minutes. STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON “Speak a little truth and people lose their minds”—not everyone was ready for what N.W.A. had to say when the young Compton rappers hit the scene in the late ’80s. Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella rapped about living with one eye open and the daily realities of hood politics. Played here by Ice’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, Aldis Hodge and Neil Brown Jr., their story as perhaps the most controversial and outspoken hip-hop group in history has reached mythic status. But the film picks and chooses how it wants to remember these icons—conspicuously erasing, for instance, Dre’s history of violence against women. F. Gary Gray directs. (R) 147 minutes. THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED Semi-clothed attractive women, evil villains, scheming superminds, blaring beats, large guns, fast cars, big bangs, another guy who looks vaguely like Jason Statham with apropos steely stare, a kidnapped dad, fast cash, robbery, revenge and reload … did we leave anything out? Camille Delamarre directs. Ed Skrein, Loan Chabanol, and Ray Stevenson co-star. (PG-13) 96 minutes. Z FOR ZACHARIAH Ann Burden lives with her dog in a remote valley—it’s remote because, well, she’s probably the last survivor of a disaster that wiped out civilization. She’s the last survivor, she thinks, until she finds Chiwetel Ejiofor in a pond and Chris Pine walking down the road. First the problem was not enough men, then it’s that there are too many—ah, how cinema mirrors reality in this sci-fi thriller which puts Ann (Margot Robbie) at the very center of a post-apocalyptic love triangle. She could do worse. Craig Zobel directs. (PG-13) 95 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK ourselves at the domain of the wine bar and shared a pretty appetizer plate of luscious, creamy Burrata that arrived with slabs of black Mission figs, crimson quarters of pluot, transparent slices of salty speck and fluffs of frisée bathed in a tart, sprightly vinaigrette ($13). To honor this beautiful dish we chose two of the Italian Verdicchios from the evening’s white flight menu. Angie liked the mineral-driven 2014 Colle Stefano Verdicchio, but I preferred my 2013 Umani Ronchi Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. (Such fun to say that out loud. Seriously. Does Italian have any rivals at all in terms of aural playfulness?) A glass of wine and shared apps at Soif may be the exact way to pivot from the workday into the evening. For dinner, look no further than Soif’s Niman Ranch ribeye steak with those amazing hand-cut fries.

Bolognese Craze

slow-cooked, laborintensive, rich, meaty Bolognese sauce is one of the crowning appointments of any fine dish of pasta. And while I actually enjoy making it from scratch—except for all that dicing of carrots, onions and celery, and all that stirring, adding more wine, stirring for hours— there are times when a pre-made Bolognese can make the difference between an indifferent meal and a memorable one. Recovering from a dental encounter, I craved a plate of non-crunchy food with true home-cooked flavor. But one that I

didn’t actually have to home-cook with my own hands. Gayle’s Bakery & Rosticceria came to the rescue with a Bolognese sauce ($11.50/lb) that could have been cooked in the kitchen of an Italian nonna. We have often turned to the aromatic rosticceria section of this mighty Capitola institution for aid and comfort in the form of sizzling sausages and peppers, or the prêta-manger meatloaf and mashed potatoes dinner. But here was a nice big container of Bolognese sauce gazing up at me from the long, glittering array of pre-made items. Dinner suddenly became possible

without a lot of hassle. Delicious and loaded with tiny bits of meat and veggies, the sauce clung nicely to our wide bowls of fusilli, slathered with freshly grated ParmigianoReggiano. Add a goblet of medicinal red wine, (a Syrah did nicely), and it was sensational. In my experience, Bolognese is not always on Gayle’s shelves. But when it is, I suggest you whisk some home with you. Use immediately or freeze for a later don’t-want-to-cook occasion.

UPDATES Now that Labor Day is behind us, Jim and Judy Schultze want to remind you that the Windy Oaks Corralitos tasting room is open from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, but not Sunday. Also, look for the outrageous Manresa pastries and crusty breads whipped up by head baker Avery Ruzicka from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. every Wednesday in the downtown Pop-Up space, next to Assembly at 1108 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Yes, the polenta cake is that good. manresabread.com.

Homemade Bolognese sauce from Gayle’s Bakery, plus a to-die-for Burrata dish and wine of the week BY CHRISTINA WATERS

Distinctive, effortless, as multidimensional as a spiral of DNA— our latest Pinot Noir favorite is from La Honda Winery, a 2013 Santa Cruz Mountains creation called “Sequence” made by Colin McNany. With 13.4 percent alcohol it is substantial enough to deliver flavor, aromatics and tannins, yet still light enough to feel refreshing. First pour suggests tamarind and strawberry with an earthy foundation. The wine then opens into a plummy center laced with notes of mint and tobacco and a long finish of licorice. Yeow! That’s a lot of serious Pinot Noir action for $25. It also loves salmon, as do we. Look for this lovely La Honda Pinot Noir at your favorite wine shop.

ounded by Bill and Brenda Murphy in 1992, Clos LaChance Winery is a wonderful place to visit. With stunning grounds and property, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that the place is busy all the time. And that was the case when we went out recently to do a tasting of their wines. We were there for so long that we had to buy cheese and crackers to tide us over until we got back home for dinner. One wine that I found particularly interesting is the 2014 Reserve Viognier ($22). Luscious aromas of peaches, apricots and honeysuckle pop right out in this full-bodied Viognier. With a richness thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true to the varietal, the flavors of honeyed peaches and lemon rind linger on the palate. Viognier is definitely gaining popularity in the United States. A pale light straw in color, this delicious white wine is very drinkable. Due to its high alcohol and low acid, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit difficult to pair with food, but the winery suggests pairing this one with â&#x20AC;&#x153;seafood, fruit salad and cream sauces.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also lovely just sipped on its own, and comes with a screw cap, so it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easier to open.

Sundara Clark uses cashews to make her vegan gelato BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

GT: How did you come upon the idea of making gelato from cashews? SUNDARA CLARK: My daughter was about a year and a half, and she was getting all these rashes and getting really sick. We got her tested for allergies and she came up as intolerant to dairy. I wanted to get her ice cream, so I started messing around in the kitchen. And now I get to make this amazing dessert which not only tastes great, but is good for you. As a stay-at-home mom, I got to find my passion.

How do cashews compare to traditional ice cream ingredients? Cashews are high in copper, which eliminates free radicals. They’re a good source of phytochemicals and antioxidants which protect the heart from disease and cancer. Their fat is an oleic acid which is the same fat found in olive oil and avocados—it’s a healthy monosaturated fat which promotes good cardiovascular health by reducing triglyceride levels. They have a lot of magnesium, which lowers blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks. They’re also good for bones because they help balance calcium in your body. They’re lower in fat than pecans, almonds, walnuts and peanuts, and have an ideal fat ratio.

You don’t use gums or emulsifiers— why not? I could’ve used those things, and most people who make vegan products do because it takes the price down—you can take out a lot of the cashews or coconut and add these thickeners. I’m trying to hold true to my values.

orn in a teepee and raised in Santa Cruz, Sundara Clark grew up eating tofu and organics, so it’s little wonder that when she relocated to Garberville, Humboldt County, she continued her family tradition of eating clean. Now a mother of two, Clark makes homemade dairy-free gelato from cashews instead of coconut (“Too much of a good thing is too much,”) and her award-winning Vixen Kitchen flavors are certified organic, vegan and Paleo. Naked Vanilla, Naked Chocolate, Coffee Cream Dream, Chai & I, and Midnight Mint are now available at local stores.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CALLING HUMANITY, HUMANITY IN CRISIS There is a humanitarian crisis in Europe that is affecting the world. Thousands of refugees, forced out of their countries due to war, persecution, terrorism, injustices, slavery, violence and death squads are seeking refuge and asylum in many European countries. The leaders of the countries do not yet know how to meet this crisis. When crisis occurs in our world (globally or individually), notice at first we don’t know how to respond, often entering into states of denial, duality, separation and isolation—a reaction due to shock and unfamiliarity. To solve the problem (crisis) we must expand beyond it in order to see a solution. Europe is finding itself in this stage of the crisis. The refugee situation is unprecedented. Refugees are not migrants or immigrants (seeking better economic opportunities). Refugees (seeking asylum from persecution, wars, death, etc.) are protected under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948) and the 1951

Convention on the Status of Refugees. The situation in Europe is one in which David Miliband, CEO of the International Rescue Committee says that this is a crisis that needs to be “burdenshared.” All of us—from great nations to individuals. The humanitarian crisis calls each of us to new acts of service. What is service? Service is a law of the soul, a life demonstration, a soul urge, an evolutionary impulse of love. In Virgo, our personality (doing the action) and soul (pouring forth love) unite. We express the soul by offering healing, help, comfort, assistance and service to those in need. The forces of materialism have created a disastrous human crisis. It is a battle for the survival of humanity. World Servers stand with and support the Forces of Light, responding with the Three Jewels: 1) the Teachings (compassion), 2) the Dharma (our service), and 3) the Sangha (creating safe communities). Together.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Assess if there are any needs you or a partner have that are hidden, that only come to life when there’s conflict. This is a good question to ask in all relationships, but especially now. Are there legal situations you must tend to? Carefully make plans for implementation. Assess what’s needed.

Finances should be in order by now.and assessments carefully made. Finances affect our emotions and therefore our health. Rely on your heart’s values, remember to be alert to humanity’s needs. These both guide you in terms of how to use and safeguard resources. Bring everything you’re thinking and feeling to the light. It’s a time of solitude for you these days and recollections. Rest more.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Sept. 9, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21 It’s time to teach others what you know. You’ve been hiding information until the right time, and now is that time. You cannot do what you’ve been doing alone for much longer. Are you asking others to help you? Ask them what they need and can do in return. All levels and each step are important in the building of the new culture and civilization. Calling all resources and resourceful people.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

Suddenly your life assumes additional intensity and you’re unable to hide your reactions and responses. You think your thoughts are hidden, but some can sense and feel them. To ease the discomfort of this concentrated power, force and energy, maintain rhythmic and consistent exercise, and double it. There’s new self-identity and strength coming forth. Set your sights on new distinguishing goals.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 The structure you’ve sought is finally forming within your sphere of work in the world. Discipline yourself in the right use of energy and time. Don’t waste these on emotional likes and dislikes. Remain behind the scenes for a while. Work independently. Plan for future endeavors. In between, do nothing at all. Careful who and what you give your heart to.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You’re most likely tending to family. Are you sleeping enough? Your appetite may increase. Something slips into your life that makes you happier, allowing for a surging forth of determination and courage, along with a new sense of creativity. You’ll be inspired. Prepare, through order and organization, for a new life to appear.

Don’t take on excessive tasks lest exhaustion compromises your immune system. You’re capable of holding the world on your shoulders (like Atlas), but soon this becomes too burdensome, unattractive. Create a manifestation list with your hoped-for goals and priorities, especially travel, other cultures, living foods, songs and rhythms. Your lift creates a magnet of energy around you. Delays become normal. Don’t fret.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Saturn has been a home companion for a while now. Should you feel you cannot stray too far from home, remain there. Tend to personal issues, things domestic, cleaning and clearing, giving yourself solitude and time for research. Contact previous friends. Is there a misunderstanding to be explained, care and tending to be offered, remembering?

Your understanding of humanity’s needs and sorrows bring forth new ideas, messages of balance and harmony. You have tremendous energy and potential to bring into form hopes, wishes, dreams and aspirations. Focus on specific goals. Write them down. Draw them. It’s also a time for financial planning. Make and maintain needed contacts. The Devas want to help you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Make sure you’re getting enough sun each day during the month of Virgo. Make sure you’re standing on the Earth barefoot, absorbing both the sun and the Earth’s fields. You may not have an appetite. Do more fresh vegetable juices. Green and orange. Monetary situations continue to unfold. New ideas stream through your mind. You’re pondering many issues.

Pisces (teachers, travelers, writers, adventurers and religious leaders) is busy with schedules, plans, visions, aims and goals. In all ways, attempting to inject harmony and balance into everyone’s daily life. Often Pisces feels isolated. They need a stimulus package filled with resources, direction and hope. Safety (emotional) is also important. Interact with Sagittarius or Scorpio. One takes you on a vacation, the other? Well...it’s secret.

SHERRY PERRY, 25-Year Customer, Scotts Valley Occupation: Housewife Hobbies: reading, tennis, playing bridge, walking, cooking Astrological Sign: Virgo What do you like to cook? Actually everything, including Italian, Mexican, and Chinese. I believe most of the products from Shopper’s meat department are all natural. Some days I may pick up steaks, or an airchilled chicken or sausages — they’re really good. I buy a lot fish here — it’s the place I most trust for fresh fish. What I like about Shopper’s is you’ll find the most exotic and obscure ingredients. We moved to Scotts Valley a year ago. The other day I went to two major Scotts Valley markets looking for tahini. Neither market had it. I came to Shopper’s and they had four options. Amazing! That’s happened to me so many times.

Are you a fan of shopping locally? Absolutely! Jim (Beauregard) and his family are very much a part of the community. I want to support a business such as this because they’re involved in helping many countywide projects. Plus Shopper’s is a fun place to shop — it’s a great shopping experience. The butchers are terriﬁc guys — so helpful — and the checkers and baggers are really nice. You stumble upon so many established local products, also new ones as Shopper’s gives brand-new vendors a shot. It’s great that I can pick up Kelly’s and Gayle’s breads, Glaum eggs, and Kari’s Malva Pudding, a South African spicy pudding cake that is so good! I always have one on hand for unexpected guests.

OUR 77 T H Y EAR

What would say about Shopper’s to a newly-arrived resident? Go to Shopper’s Corner! It’s like taking a step back into the wonderful past plus they have all that you need for any recipe. I’ve gotten many people hooked on Shopper’s. For the quality you get, the pricing is not expensive: they offer good choices of super-fresh produce — the organic is priced fairly; it’s the only place where I buy my cheeses; plus my husband enjoys shopping here for wine because of their great selections and knowledge. My daughter now lives “over the hill,” and one of the things she really misses is Shopper’s.

“Shopper’s Corner is like taking a step back into the wonderful past plus they have all that you need for any recipe.”
