OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE There’s so much going on in Santa Cruz this week it seems crazy to try to cover it all. But we’ve given it our best shot in this issue. First, the GLOW festival returns to the Museum of Art & History, and Jessica Pasko explains how the digital and fire festival has grown up with the fire arts community in Santa Cruz. We’ve got some of the edgiest fire artists in the country here, and they’ll show how they blaze on Saturday night. Also on Saturday, the Santa Cruz Music Festival returns to bring more than 130 artists to stages around downtown. Mat Weir’s story reveals how the festival organizers have brought the event back with a vengeance, expanding its scale while staying true to their philosophy of showcasing local music first and foremost. This weekend is also the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, and Jake Pierce’s story highlights some of the

Thank you so much for the article “Speed Demons” (GT, 9/9), it’s just the type of local journalism that is vital for the community. Comcast is a fundamentally deceitful company at the leadership level. They cannot be trusted to stick to their word, and they certainly should not be trusted with infrastructure as vital as Internet access. A mere refund for this type of deceit is not appropriate, there should be severe penalties for such intentional crime. Also, thanks to Zack Friend, J. Guevara, and Cruzio for working to improve the situation. Those who care about improving Santa Cruz for future economic development should support their efforts. CHARLES VASKE | SANTA CRUZ

Find out how swimmers and comedy fans were forced to square off at last year’s festival—who knows which totally incongruous groups of people may be forced into close quarters this year! Congratulations to GT’s own Senior Contributing Editor Geoffrey Dunn, who was named Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year and chosen as Historian of the Year for 2015. Though it’d be impossible to properly detail Dunn’s career in one short article, I’ve written a piece this week that explains why even after a 40-year career, he may just be hitting his prime as a writer. I’ll also join Dunn and MAH Executive Director Nina Simon on stage to talk about it on Friday evening at the MAH’s Artist of the Year celebration. It’s a free event, come join us!

RUNNING RAGGED Does Santa Cruz have to host every surf contest or triathlon that comes along? Last weekend, I took the kids for a nice Sunday morning drive to the beach. We hoped to see whales on the way to Natural Bridges. It was not possible; West Cliff and adjoining roads were all closed for some triathlon. OK, maybe I could go around—no, the whole of West Cliff was shut down. OK, we’ll just go to the beach—nope, no access! I had to park a mile away and drag kids and beach crap across town to get there. I paid for a permit so I wouldn’t have to do this. And we had to dodge four lanes of triathlon traffic, including fast-moving bikes going both directions, to get across to the beach. These people were running and biking hard. They don’t need to do this on West Cliff. They could do it in an indoor racetrack for all it mattered to them. I certainly hoped the race paid for all the cops that were there. Thanks for letting me vent. JOHN DONOHUE | SANTA CRUZ

When anyone hits a big birthday or a milestone, they’re allowed to celebrate for several months. Sammy Slug is wrapping up a year of celebrating UCSC’s 50th anniversary with a parade downtown on Sunday, Oct. 25. The university is partnering with the city of Santa Cruz and the Downtown Association for the event, and accepting entrants through Monday, Oct. 12. Visit downtownsantacruz.com for more information.

UCSC alum Gillian Welch won a lifetime achievement award along with her songwriting partner, David Rawlings, at last month’s Americana Music Awards. Welch, who just turned 48, was the youngest person ever to win. She mused on the honor over the weekend at the Hardly Strictly in San Francisco, wondering if it meant she was “supposed to stop.” We sure hope not.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

If I warned you not to trust anyone, I hope you would reject my simplistic fear-mongering. If I suggested that you trust everyone unconditionally, I hope you would dismiss my delusional naiveté. But it’s important to acknowledge that the smart approach is far more difficult than those two extremes. You’ve got to evaluate each person and even each situation on a case-bycase basis. There may be unpredictable folks who are trustworthy some of the time, but not always. Can you be both affably open-hearted and slyly discerning? It’s especially important that you do so in the next 16 days.

If I could give you a birthday present, it would be a map to your future treasure. Do you know which treasure I’m referring to? Think about it as you fall asleep on the next eight nights. I’m sorry I can’t simply provide you with the instructions you’d need to locate it. The cosmic powers tell me you have not yet earned that right. The secondbest gift I can offer, then, will be clues about how to earn it. Clue No.1: Meditate on the differences between what your ego wants and what your soul needs. No. 2: Ask yourself, “What is the most unripe part of me?” and then devise a plan to ripen it. No. 3: Invite your deep mind to give you insights you haven’t been brave enough to work with until now. No. 4: Take one medium-sized bold action every day.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 As I meditated on your astrological aspects, I had an intuition that I should go to a gem fair I’d heard about. It was at an event center near my home. When I arrived, I was dazzled to find a vast spread of minerals, fossils, gemstones, and beads. Within a few minutes, two stones had commanded my attention, as if they’d reached out to me telepathically: chrysoprase, a green gemstone, and petrified wood, a mineralized fossil streaked with earth tones. The explanatory note next to the chrysoprase said that if you keep this gem close to you, it “helps make conscious what has been unconscious.” Ownership of the petrified wood was described as conferring “the power to remove obstacles.” I knew these were the exact oracles you needed. I bought both stones, took them home, and put them on an altar dedicated to your success in the coming weeks.

GEMINI May21–June20 George R. R. Martin has written a series of fantasy novels collectively called A Song of Ice and Fire. They have sold 60 million copies and been adapted for the TV series Game of Thrones. Martin says the inspiration for his master work originated with the pet turtles he owned as a kid. The creatures lived in a toy castle in his bedroom, and he pretended they were knights and kings and other royal characters. “I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom,” he has testified. I think the next seven months will be a perfect time for you to make a comparable leap, Gemini. What’s your version of Martin’s turtles? And what valuable asset can you turn it into?

The editors of the Urban Dictionary provide a unique definition of the word “outside.” They say it’s a vast, uncomfortable place that surrounds your home. It has no ceiling or walls or carpets, and contains annoying insects and random loud noises. There’s a big yellow ball in the sky that’s always moving around and changing the temperature in inconvenient ways. Even worse, the “outside” is filled with strange people that are constantly doing deranged and confusing things. Does this description match your current sense of what “outside” means, Cancerian? If so, that’s OK. For now, enjoy the hell out of being inside.

We all go through phases when we are tempted to believe in the factuality of every hostile, judgmental, and random thought that our monkey mind generates. I am not predicting that this is such a time for you. But I do want to ask you to be extra skeptical toward your monkey mind’s fabrications. Right now it’s especially important that you think as coolly and objectively as possible. You can’t afford to be duped by anyone’s crazy talk, including your own. Be extra vigilant in your quest for the raw truth.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Do you know about the ancient Greek general Pyrrhus? At the Battle of Asculum in 279 BCE, his army technically defeated Roman forces, but his casualties were so substantial that he ultimately lost the war. You can and you must avoid a comparable scenario. Fighting for your cause is good only if it doesn’t wreak turmoil and bewilderment. If you want to avoid an outcome in which both sides lose, you’ve got to engineer a result in which both sides win. Be a cagey compromiser.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Galway Kinnell’s poem “Middle of the Way” is about his solo trek through the snow on Oregon’s Mount Gauldy. As he wanders in the wilderness, he remembers an important truth about himself: “I love the day, the sun . . . But I know [that] half my life belongs to the wild darkness.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now is a good time for you, too, to refresh your awe and reverence for the wild darkness -- and to recall that half your life belongs to it. Doing so will bring you another experience Kinnell describes: “an inexplicable sense of joy, as if some happy news had been transmitted to me directly, by-passing the brain.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 The last time I walked into a McDonald’s and ordered a meal was 1984. Nothing that the restaurant chain serves up is appealing to my taste or morality. I do admire its adaptability, however. In cow-loving India, McDonald’s serves only vegetarian fare that includes deep-fried cheese and potato patties. In Israel, kosher McFalafels are available. Mexicans order their McMuffins with refried beans and pico de gallo. At a McDonald’s in Singapore, you can order McRice burgers. This is the type of approach I advise for you right now, Sagittarius. Adjust your offerings for your audience.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You have been flirting with your “alone at the top” reveries. I won’t be surprised if one night you have a dream of riding on a Ferris wheel that malfunctions, leaving you stranded at the highest point. What’s going on? Here’s what I suspect: In one sense you are zesty and farseeing. Your competence and confidence are waxing. At the same time, you may be out of touch with what’s going on at ground level. Your connection to the depths is not as intimate as your relationship with the heights. The moral of the story might be to get in closer contact with your roots. Or be more attentive to your support system. Or buy new shoes and underwear.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I haven’t planted a garden for years. My workload is too intense to devote enough time to that pleasure. So eight weeks ago I was surprised when a renegade sunflower began blooming in the dirt next to my porch. How did the seed get there? Via the wind? A passing bird that dropped a potential meal? The gorgeous interloper eventually grew to a height of four feet and produced a boisterous yellow flower head. Every day I muttered a prayer of thanks for its guerrilla blessing. I predict a comparable phenomenon for you in the coming days, Aquarius.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The coming days will be a favorable time to dig up what has been buried. You can, if you choose, discover hidden agendas, expose deceptions, see beneath the masks, and dissolve delusions. But it’s my duty to ask you this: Is that really something you want to do? It would be fun and sexy to liberate so much trapped emotion and suppressed energy, but it could also stir up a mindbending ruckus that propels you on a healing quest. I hope you decide to go for the gusto, but I'll understand if you prefer to play it safe.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: SNAPPY DOGS

RE: HOUSING

Gary is an amazing person. And OMG that chili sauce is to die for. I literally eat bowls of it with cheese on top. So fricking good. I eat there religiously, and I always get the snappy dog. I used to buy ballpark franks from the grocery store, but ever since I had a snappy dog, I haven't bought grocery store hot dogs. Best hot dog ever! Don’t let anyone tell you different. If you haven’t yet, you have to go try one.

The rent wars in Santa Cruz have exposed the discriminatory practices of many who list “females only” or “students only,” and shady landlords, too. Recent poll in U.S. found 55+ age group was having a harder time getting a room to rent on less than half their income. We have B&B room rentals and vacation rentals, but low-income housing declines. Is this the default fiveyear plan for SC, to a “gated city?”

IT’S A MORNING PERSON’S WORLD But night owls have to live in it. With a little bit of knowledge, they can.

Snooze Blues Night owls may be genetically predisposed, but changing our body clocks is not impossible BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS Sleep Medicine—and, according to a U.K. study, fatter and more prone to depression—that I realized I might really have to look into this. I decided to seek a second opinion. “The concept of morning people being healthier is a bunch of crap,” says Dr. Tony Masri, M.D. of Santa Cruz’s Central Coast Sleep Disorders Clinic. “It’s a myth. If you’re a night owl, there is nothing endogenously wrong with you.” It turns out the problem isn’t us night owls, it’s that we’re living in a morning person’s world. “Night people tend to, for the most part, bear more of the consequences of the nine-to-five rat-race culture that we have gotten ourselves into, in terms

of sleep deprivation,” says Masri. Accumulated sleep loss results in delayed sleep phase syndrome, a disease Masri says is very common among his patients. “We know for a fact that sleep deprivation can cause weight gain, it can cause more car accidents, it can put people at higher risk for other health problems like diabetes,” he says. “That’s why you look at some of the data and it looks like they have it worse.” But night owls who can naturally wake up at 10 or 11 in the morning face no biological harm from following their own rhythm. Quite the contrary, actually. “Thirteen to 16 percent of teenagers tend to be night owls, and moving the high school

love sleeping. There, I said it. Especially in the warm cocoon of the morning. And I enjoy staying up well into the stillness of night. This is how it’s always been. On most mornings, I hit the snooze button until shame alone ejects me from bed. Lately, though, I’ve been imagining how different life would be if I were a morning person. I mean, what an edge—to have your life together before the rest of the time zone has even made coffee. But it wasn’t until I read that night owls are “less reliable, less emotionally stable, and more likely to have addictions,” according to a study by the American Academy of

start time [later] has been shown to improve SAT scores as much as 200 points,” Masri says. “Sleep is a need, a biological necessity. It’s not a luxury.” It’s important to note that sleep tendencies and circadian rhythms are strongly influenced by genetics. Some people are inherently night people, some are morning, and the rest can fall anywhere in between, says Masri. Just a few years ago, scientists identified the specific genetic variation that may determine where we fall in the sleeping and waking cycle. (Incredibly, this same gene variant may also determine the time of day a person is likely to die.) That said, it’s not impossible to switch our clocks, or to turn a tired old night owl into a fresh little morning bird. Of the four main zeitgebers, or external cues that help synchronize an organism’s biological rhythms, light is the most important, says Masri. “And by light, I mean outdoor light,” he says. Masri recommends that night owls attempting the lifestyle flip get outside within 15 minutes of dragging themselves from bed, and get natural light exposure for at least half an hour. From personal experience, I recommend walking or running as far away from your bed as possible during these tender minutes, to get the blood pumping and also to avoid getting sucked back in. It will also mean relinquishing your night to sleep much earlier, and experts recommend moving your bedtime earlier incrementally over several weeks for the best success. The average person needs about 30 minutes to wind down and get ready for bed, but the night person can take up to two hours, says Masri. During these hours, blue light— emitted by most electronics—should be avoided, since it has the strongest effects on the brain clock. If screen time is absolutely necessary, look into special glasses or screen covers. I’ve found a cup of herbal tea and a good paper-and-ink book to be an excellent sleep inducer. The other three zeitgebers are food, exercise and social activity. In a nutshell, don’t do any of them right before your new bedtime curfew.

NEWS PLOT THICKENS With vandalism and a shrinking garden, Beach Flats residents feel neglected

OCTOBER 7-13, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY SALLY NEAS

A parade of community members donning green T-shirts inscribed with “Save the Garden”/”Guarde el Jardín” crowded a community room for a meeting to discuss the fate of the Beach Flats Community Garden. Available chairs accommodated about half of the community members present, while the rest lined the walls. What the city anticipated to be a one-hour meeting carried on for more than three hours. The meeting was the first of its kind to discuss the new face of the garden after the gardeners were issued notice in March that this season would be their last. The Santa Cruz Seaside Company—which owns the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the land on which the garden has been for 20 years—has announced that it will be reclaiming the land for its own “agricultural and landscaping purposes” next month. Members of the Beach Flats community, which is predominantly Latino and lowincome, say they have felt disrespected in general lately, and that goes beyond the garden or the Seaside Company. Two months ago, for instance, the city admitted it hadn’t done proper outreach before whitewashing a community mural in Beach Flats Park on Raymond Street, and issued an apology. Since then, two separate murals, also in the park, were hit by vandalism. To keep the community garden growing, city officials began work on a short-term solution, which they revealed to 70-plus community members at the Sept. 28 meeting. The city’s proposal is about a quarter of the size of the current half-acre garden and occupies two plots of the current garden and part of the adjacent Poet’s Park. Disappointed by the new plan, community members, speaking passionately about the garden’s importance, urged city officials to work in any way possible to keep it intact. “Let’s remember why we started it,” says Marciano Cruz, who lived in the Beach Flats when the garden was begun 20 years ago. “We created a garden because [that lot] was full of

NO NEGATIVE VIBES The late Danjuma Adamu flashes a thumbs-up with his band Onola. From left: Daniel Thomas, Etienne Franc, Adamu, Ibou Ngom, and Renato Annichicharrio.

Lion’s Share Danjuma Adamu, who helped popularize Afrobeat on the West Coast, passes away BY ANNIE STEINHARDT

T

he memorial for Danjuma Adamu at Pacific Garden Chapel in Santa Cruz was packed with world beat musicians, some in floor-length white dashikis, others in traditional two-piece African dresses in colorful patterns with matching hats. The Nigerian-born multiinstrumentalist, songwriter and bandleader, a blazing star in the Santa Cruz musical firmament, passed away on Sept. 1. Inside the chapel, two flat screens on either side of the open coffin flashed videos of Adamu singing and dancing across myriad stages, beaming with the transcendent joy

that playing music always drew out of him. Local percussionist Rick Walker passed out hand drums and percussion instruments to the mourners for a five-minute rhythm jam that united those gathered with an ancient, empowering heartbeat. Adamu’s journey began 67 years ago in Adele, a small Nigerian village, where his grandfather was chief drummer. In slightly broken English with an engaging Yoruban accent, he explained in a 1996 GT interview that he started drumming when he was so small he had to climb up the side of the drum. “I didn’t understand why they make us play, punish us

if we don’t. But then later I realize it is good in life to have rhythm in anything you do,” said Adamu. He also played guitar. American pop music of the 1960s was the soundtrack of Adamu’s youth, and his guitar idol was Jimi Hendrix, giving rise to an alter ego he named Jimi Lee. When his burning solos drove crowded dance floors wild, he’d say, “That not Danjuma—that Jimi Lee.” “In Africa, American music is very popular. Mix it up,” he said with a chuckle. “You have to dance, man.” “Mixing it up,” as he put it, meant combining Western instruments and jazz/funk/rock influences with the traditional 6/8>14

on stage at a club, he stopped a song right in the middle and growled, “You are a dees-grace to music!” However, as I got to know him better, I saw beyond the irascible affect to the noble core beneath— total body-and-soul dedication to music: sleep in your car, go hungry, play anywhere, anytime, healthy or sick, paid or not. Whether performing for thousands on a giant stage or for a single nodding drunk in a scuzzy dive, he always poured the same passion, commitment and heart into every note: “Music choose me, I can’t escape,” he told me. “I will do it till I die. I work so hard. I don’t have money. I play for Jah. I am happy, I make people happy.” Thanks to my mentor’s rigorous training, when rapidly rising Pele Juju lost its bass player, I was a shoe-in for the gig. The Chief and I became musical ships passing in the night, until one night in 1996, I learned he and some other African performers had been driving back over Highway 17 from Reggae on the River, Adamu sleeping in back. Somehow the van swerved and plunged down a steep embankment. Luckily, it was stopped short against a little tree. Adamu was wedged in and had to be cut out by the jaws of life, the only one seriously injured. The date was Aug. 4, 1996, his 48th birthday. >18

over-4/4 bell pattern, a staple of West African drumming. This is a blend of two completely unrelated time signatures—the straight and standard four beats to the measure, and the flow and lilt of waltz time. Molly Higbee, guitarist for popular Santa Cruz world beat band Pele Juju who studied drumming for two years in Ghana, explained how these two rhythms interact in a pamphlet for her band: “The rhythms, when combined, push and pull at each other every step of the way, yet their interlocking is an amazingly perfect fit ... The two rhythms meet on the downbeat and then go their separate ways, only to meet again on the downbeat. You come back to the center and you go out again, over and over, over and over. Surrendering to this feeling is the joy of music, the enlightenment of trance, and the experience of something very ancient and empowering in the human musical tradition.” Simply put, it’s music you can’t resist dancing to. And that’s what Adamu’s music has always compelled—a contrapuntal, bootyshaking shimmy from head to toe. Three decades ago, a North American tour with “Godfather of Afrobeat” O.J. Ekemo landed Adamu in Oakland. After two years, he

moved to Santa Cruz. Adamu alternated between bass, drums, keyboards, guitar, and percussion with astounding virtuosity. When he moved to Santa Cruz, he put together all original Afropop band Kosono, Yoruba for “no way for negative vibrations.” Adamu and I connected in an African dance class he was drumming for. I a was country fiddler and aspiring bass player, and I caught a show, and the second I heard those galloping, melodic West African bass lines, I was a goner. Adaumu was between bass players, so he set out to train me. The Chief, as I came to call him, was charming and lovable on the one hand, volatile and intimidating on the other—a side exacerbated by having to train successive platoons of California trap drummers, percussionists, guitar, and bass players seduced by the polyrhythmic beauty of his music, then repelled by the rigors of Afrobeat boot camp. Mastering the intricacies of African syncopation was like ripping apart and rewiring neurons in my brain. When I made a mistake, Adamu would reach over and whack my leg with his drumstick. He had an intimidating scowl and the vibe of an angry lion (not so kosono, I might add). Once,

The Water Supply Advisory Committee (WSAC), which aimed to finalize its recommendations by 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, wrapped up with four minutes to spare. The recommendations aren’t what any single committee member would call ideal, according to WSAC member Mike Rotkin, but after 18 months, it was as close as anyone was going to get. “Nobody will say about this agreement, ‘I loved every piece of it,’” says Rotkin, a five-time former Santa Cruz Mayor. “They’re going

to their constituents and saying, ‘This had to happen. We’re going to sell this to the public to make it work.’ That’s not the same as saying, ‘How do I get behind this?’” This is the committee the Santa Cruz City Council tasked with coming up with a water supply solution after city leaders put the desalination plant on hold in the summer of 2013. Soon the council will be looking at the WSAC’s 73-page report—which, like any other report in Santa Cruz, will probably be interpreted

differently by its readers. The committee is suggesting a three-pronged solution to the city’s water shortage—the first piece being increased conservation, which the WSAC says will meet 17 to 21 percentage of demand in the worst-case-scenario drought. The second piece is a water swap with Scotts Valley or Soquel Creek Water District, something activists have wanted for years. Engineers say that that proposal has a lot of unknowns, and it could end up being the most expensive

water project recommended. The final recommendation would only kick in if there are issues with the water swap. That piece would be recycled wastewater for potable use—something the California Department of Health is currently studying—and desal as a possible back-up to that. The group’s unanimous vote in favor of the report was immediately followed by some backslapping, handshaking, congratulations, and grinning—a nice moment. Here’s hoping it lasts. JACOB PIERCE

graffiti, trash, prostituting, drug dealing. They used to burn cars there. We cleaned it up.” He added that Beach Flats residents feel the brunt of the Boardwalk’s tourism and that the garden provides a sanctuary from that impact. “Everything in the Beach Flats is for everyone else, for everyone from the outside,” he says. “But the garden is for all of us.” Many community members pointed out that the Seaside Company owns other parcels of land and urged city officials to work with them to find another piece of land to build a garden. Boardwalk spokesperson Kris Reyes tells GT that the Seaside Company chose the two parcels it did for the next community garden because they are on either side of Poet’s Park—creating the best opportunity for one shared gardening area. “These parcels all line up, and are in a straight line,” Reyes says. “The idea is that all three parcels can

be paired to make a contiguous space.” Organizers presented a petition with more than 2,100 signatures, calling on the city and the Seaside Company to work together to save the garden. Mayor Don Lane was sympathetic to the residents and said that he’s already “had several talks with the Seaside Company, saying ‘we don’t think it’s a good idea,’” but he says the company has given him a “clear no.” Instead, city officials opted to put forward their interim plan. At the meeting, Lane, along with Councilmember Micah Posner, urged people to put a resolution forward that would support the city’s creation of a permanent Beach Flats Garden on city land, which would give the council an opportunity to weigh in on the issue as a whole. Additionally, Councilmember Richelle Noroyan pledged support at the meeting, as did Councilmember Cynthia Chase, who was able to arrange a future meeting

between the Seaside Company, city officials and a delegation of community members. This will be the first time the Seaside Company has spoken with gardeners. The impending shutdown of the garden comes amid the loss of community cornerstones in Beach Flats. In June, the city painted over a Beach Flats mural that depicts scenes of local Latino activism and daily life. In 2013, the city flagged the mural as deteriorating and in need of repair. They hired Live Oak artist Mariah Roberts, who engaged in a restoration process with about 100 residents. But some community members, as well as the mural’s original artist Victor Cervantes, were shocked when it was painted over. Since then, the city has offered an apology, expressing their “deepest regrets” about the artwork, and has settled with Cervantes for $30,000. The mural is still a blank white slate, and the community is now engaged in a process to repaint it.

More recently, on the weekend of Sept. 12, community members awoke to discover two Beach Flats murals and several signs had been vandalized. The vandals painted over the murals and signs with red and black paint. Beach Flats community members are decrying the vandalism as an act of intolerance and racism. There is no suspect yet, but police are investigating the act, saying in a statement that vandalism “will not be tolerated in our community.” Lane and other city officials held a separate community meeting last month to discuss the vandalism. The city issued a permit to community members to repaint the signs and murals. On Sept. 18-20, community members, kids and the original artist, Cervantes, repainted the damaged murals and signs. In the meeting about the garden, Lane pledged support to the Beach Flats Community and referred to the vandalism as “a lightbulb going off that we haven’t been paying enough attention.”

I called every hospital in the area and found him in a San Jose hospital room, looking very small and dark against the white sheet, face lacerated and abraded, mouth swollen, chest sore, right ankle broken, in a lot of pain, on morphine. “A leetle tree saved me,” he groaned. “I was asleep. I woke up swallowing blood, my leg broken and stuck in the engine.” Adamu spent his recovery in bed writing and recording songs on his four-track. These songs became the album Come Back Home. During six months of recording, he first hobbled into the studio leaning on a walker, then on crutches, then a walking stick, then hopping. By the time the CD was completed, he was dancing again. Adamu took to calling me at odd hours and announcing in his deep, gravelly voice: “The lion is hungry.” This meant he wanted me to go out to the Chinese restaurant and bring back his all-time favorite dish, chicken fried rice. The calming perspective of advancing years and the supportive love of his life, Mandy Loeb, mellowed the old lion, but otherwise, except for his bald head and a little pot belly, as he turned 67 this past August, he was ebullient as ever, phoning us with excited news about his latest recording ideas. On Sept. 2 came a shockingly different call from his sweetheart. Loeb had arrived at his apartment that morning to find his dinner half-eaten on the kitchen table, Adamu slumped on the floor of the shower, water drumming down on his lifeless body. Heart attack, a quick death, was the coroner’s diagnosis. Loeb and I conjectured that he’d been stricken midway through dinner and thought a shower would reinvigorate him. Loeb and I consoled one another by sharing stories. His car accident occurred before she’d met him; when I told her about “the lion is hungry” phone calls, she let out a yelp. Chicken fried rice had been the half-finished meal on his plate. My heart remains heavy at the Chief’s passing, but learning that the last taste on his tongue was his favorite dish lifted my spirits. The lion did not die hungry.

This ain’t no Burning Man—the MAH’s GLOW festival flames on BY Y JESSII CA A M.. PA SKO O

ire art is—pardon the pun— so hot right now. Visitors to the Golden State Warriors parade in Oakland earlier this year got a glimpse of none other than M.C. Hammer riding along with the city’s mayor in a giant, firebreathing snail car. (The piece was designed by artists Jon and Krysten Sarriugarte of Oakland and debuted at Burning Man a few years ago.) A group of locals regularly meets at the lighthouse on Santa Cruz’s Westside to spin fire poi, and fire art festivals are quickly proliferating around the country. But of course, humans have been fascinated with fire for as long as we’ve been able to make it. Despite all of our technological advancement, this natural element has the ability to destroy everything it touches, far beyond our control. That primitive and powerful nature might be just a part of the reason for the success of GLOW, the Museum of Art & History’s digital art and fire festival that returns to Abbott Square for a fourth year this month. Children and adults of all ages will fill Cooper Street to experience

everything from augmented reality, LED sculptures, giant shadow puppets, and glowing body art. It will even include fire juggling by Richard Hartnell, a professional contact juggler from the area who will be juggling with a steel ball saturated in fuel. Contact juggling is, largely, what it sounds like—the object being juggled is in frequent contact with the juggler’s body. Combine that with a fiery ball, and, well, it’s certainly an impressive feat. This year’s event will consist of a Digital Night on Friday, and Fire Night on Saturday. There will be some returning favorites, including Lucy Hoskins’ Satan’s Calliope, a fire-breathing pipe organ, and a performance by Samba Stilt Circus. But there are also a number of performances and pieces that are new to the festival this year, says Stacey Marie Garcia, director of community engagement at the MAH. She is particularly fond of GLOW, as it was the first event she was part of after joining the museum staff. “We’re always looking for something new each year,” she

says. “I’m really excited about a few pieces especially.” That includes, on Digital Night, a giant participatory Tetris game created by Bryan Von Reuter. Images will be projected on a wall and visitors can sign up, karaokestyle, to play, she explains. Von Reuter has been holding similar tournaments throughout the Bay Area, giving people the chance to play with digital blocks the size of people. Winners will receive a special trophy made from reclaimed materials. Another piece that will be featured at Digital Night is a virtual sandbox, according to Shannon Stillman of Idea Fab Labs, a makers space that recently opened a location in Santa Cruz. “We were originally going to do fire art, but we had this other project we were working on that we decided would be more fun,” says Stillman, the head of operations for the creation space located in the old Wrigley Building. “What we have is a virtual reality sandbox, created by a UC Davis professor.” It’s an actual sandbox with

Idea Fab Labs originally started in Chico with a mission of bringing high-tech tools and fabrication to people who want to try these things out, but wouldn’t otherwise have access. A Santa Cruz location was opened about two months ago, as an open environment meant to foster innovation through hands-on learning and collaboration. Members pay monthly membership fees to access the building and tools. That concept appealed to Garcia, so she reached out to Stillman about participating in this year’s GLOW event. “I really like the communitybuilding aspect of GLOW—group thinking always makes things better,” says Stillman. “I’m also excited about showing it [the

sandbox] off and having kids play with it.” This will be Stillman’s first time experiencing GLOW; he’s usually still recovering from Burning Man, he says.

NOT THE PLAYA, PLAYA While there are inevitable comparisons and connections to Burning Man, Garcia says GLOW isn’t meant to be some sort of Playa Lite. Many of the artists who take part in GLOW are also frequent visitors to Burning Man, but the MAH’s event is its own animal. “It’s not a burners’ event,” says Garcia, who likens it to more of a celebration of science. “As a museum, one of the things that matters the most to us is bringing all different types of people together,” Garcia says. “With all of our events, it’s a balance between doing something that’s exciting

In fact, kids will also be some of the performers. On Digital Night, for instance, a group of 12-year-olds from Aerial Arts Santa Cruz will be performing acts of contortion while wearing costumes adorned with electroluminescent wire. Garcia praises the participatory

nature of many of the pieces, and explains that especially with the digital art, many of the participants are working with very complex, high-tech arts.

BURNING DESIRE Still, GLOW has undoubtedly given many artists a place to show off their art somewhere other than Burning Man. A few years ago, local artist Steve Cooper began discussing the lack of a good venue with some of his fellow fire artists. “In Santa Cruz, there’s actually a sizeable community of fire artists,� says Cooper. “Many of them have been doing what’s been some very pioneering stuff at Burning Man.� Cooper says he first got into fire

<26 arts in 1996, when he learned how to breathe fire—something he’d always been intrigued by at Burning Man. Soon he began performing as a fire breather, but after getting chemical pneumonia from doing so, he turned to other types of fire art, including the use of a bonfire, a “flame effect” device sort of like a flame thrower that creates a big fireball when shot off. While at the playa one year, Cooper says he and his friends talked about how cool it would be to have a local event where they could

show off their creations to their own community. Not long after this discussion, Cooper happened to be at a party with museum director Nina Simon, and he brought the idea up with her. She suggested they work together to put on some sort of fire art showcase at the MAH. “And I thought, ‘Of course, that sounds like a crazy awesome synergy,” says Cooper. The two discussed plans over lunch at Laili, and the event was born in spring of 2011.

GLOW 2015 will be held at the Museum of Art & History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. 7-10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16 is Digital Night. 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17 is Fire Night. Tickets: $10 per night or $18 for both, general admission; $8 for both nights or $5 per night for MAH members. Tickets available online at santacruzmah.org.

“That first event taught us not to do it during the rainy season,” says Garcia. “We also had no idea how popular the event would be.” Cooper will be performing this year as part of what he calls the “bonefire cannon aid.” Cooper and his fellow performers will stand in a row and shoot off bonefires at the same time, sort of like a fireball version of a 21-gun salute. Fire Night will also feature a giant human-sized praying mantis created from salvaged material by Todd Cox of Petaluma. The

sculpture will shoot fire out of its mouth on Cooper Street, Garcia says. Local favorites—and frequent GLOW performers—the Samba Stilt Orchestra will be upping the ante this year by “riding on a tricycle while on stilts, with flames coming out of the trike,” says Garcia. She’s also excited for the museum to host a performance by the Flaming Lotus Girls from the Bay Area, a group of artists that makes large-scale kinetic art, some of it the size of buildings. For GLOW, the group will be bringing Merope 2, a 13-foot sculpture made from stainless steel to represent a constellation. A series of interactive buttons will make fire emit from the stars. “It’s one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen” Garcia says. “It’s remarkable.” What’s also remarkable is the amount of teamwork and labor that goes into putting on a fun and safe show each year that provides an enjoyable experience for everyone. Throngs of people in a relatively small area combined with fire carries the potential for disaster, and Garcia says great efforts are taken to ensure that the event is as safe as possible. That includes working closely with the city’s fire department, whose staff personally examine every piece that will be on display to make sure it is safe. “I’ve been really, really thankful to have a fire department wise enough to take a careful look at what we are doing, and let us do it—in a carefully controlled way,” says Cooper.

I was raised by parents who had the upmost interest in health and healthy living. My father, Jack Macdonald of the Vitamin Center, kept us current with the health movement. Over the years I rebelled and moved on my own path. My own health started to deteriorate in my mid-twenties and I found myself seeking a holistic approach to my aliments. Western medicine provided me with a number of friendly doctors who could not address my symptoms. After the birth of my fourth child my health was at its worst. I ended up in the ER where a very helpful doctor suggested I had autoimmune thyroid disease. This was a turning point for me as I realized I must advocate for myself and my health. I began doing my own research, reading, and interviewing. I became a patient of some phenomenal practitioners and my health began to return. Working at the Vitamin Center I spoke with many customers whose health was failing. One of the things I noticed was a commonality between a person’s perception of eating healthy, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and failing health. Many people want a quick ďŹ x supplement and fail to do the work necessary for good health. So I went to Bauman College to learn more about diet and health with the intent of sharing and teaching people how to make positive changes in their life that would reect in their health. Jack’s supplement knowledge and my nutrition knowledge make us a great team.

The Santa Cruz Music Festival is back and bigger than ever BY MAT WEIR

t’s just six days away from the 2015 Santa Cruz Music Festival (SCMF) on Saturday, Oct. 10—a day-long event featuring more than 130 artists on 14 stages in 10 venues along Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz—and chaos reigns at the festival’s headquarters, which is also organizer Brian Crabtree’s living room. Since the early morning, he and co-founder Thomas Dawson (who also works at GT as a Digital Marketing Specialist)

HOT TICKET

have been on their computers working on the minute details of the sprawling event, as they have every day for the past six months. This is the festival’s third year, and the sleepless organizers have teamed up with Euphoric.Net—one of Bay Area’s premier promotion companies—to put on the best one yet. Keeping a philosophy of “community first” in mind, more than 70 percent of the acts are local. They will even have two booths

set up where attendees can donate money to the family of Madyson Middleton, the 8-year-old local girl whose murder in August devastated the community. With so much happening on Saturday, we’ve assembled a “mustsee” guide to SCMF madness.

RJD2 Anyone who believes electronic music has no merit has never heard RJD2. Or rather, they probably

have, and just didn’t know it. His song “A Beautiful Mine” is the theme song for the hit TV show Mad Men. He is an aural collage artist; deconstructing familiar songs and sounds, drawing from a palette of genres and rearranging them into an entirely new vision. Born RJ Krohn, the producer and DJ has been making music since 1993, but didn’t release his debut solo album Deadringer until 2002 >36 after signing with Definitive

G JONES G Jones has made a name for himself in the electronic scene in a big way. The native Santa Cruz trap artist recently teamed up with another local alumni, Bassnectar, for a hometown homage track appropriately called “The Mystery Spot.” Released in June, the track already has more than 600,000 listens on Spotify, bringing the Santa Cruz style to ears around the world. From spacey hyphy mixes to in-the-pocket trap beats to syrupydrenched dubstep, G Jones mixes style and swag into a set that will leave dancers excited for more.

METAL SHOWCASE While the previous two Santa Cruz Music Festivals featured a multitude of local talent, one thing was clearly missing. “We wanted a heavy metal showcase the first year, but couldn’t,” explains Crabtree. “Because metal is such a large part of the Santa Cruz music scene, we couldn’t ignore it again.” With that ethos in mind, SCMF has organized an entire day of hairthrashin’ and slow-rockin’ metal for all those heshers who still know how to headbang. Hosted at the 418 Project, the showcase will feature nine metal acts (eight of them from Santa Cruz) drawing spine-curdling heaviness from every subgenre metalheads love.

LECTURE SERIES

artscouncilsc.org 831.475.9600 J X T-

This year, organizers are launching a satellite event to coincide with the music. Santa Cruz Speaks is a fivehour lecture series focusing on four different issues important to Cruzan culture—sustainability, the state of our city, cannabis and music—at the Center Stage Theater. “We think it’s important to not

only provide entertainment to our attendees, but information as well,” says the series organizer, Sam Working. “Santa Cruz has a lot of groundbreaking local people and organizations that are doing really interesting and important things.” Hosted by Matthew Swinnerton of Event Santa Cruz, the sustainability panel will kick off the day and feature special guests from the Coastal Watershed Council, Bike Santa Cruz County, GESS Environmental, and Allterra Solar. Guests will be considering a range of issues from a local and global standpoint on green energy, conservation and how humans can leave less of a hazardous impact on the planet. From 1:15 to 2:15 p.m., Mayor Don Lane; Good Times publisher Jeanne Howard; former mayor Michael Rotkin; the director of the Downtown Association, Chip; and Santa Cruz School District Superintendent Michael Watkins discuss affairs from smart solutions to homelessness in the area to the state’s role in education and the future of Santa Cruz. The cannabis panel will feature Santa Cruz Labs representatives Alec Dixon and Ian Rice along with the host of KSCO’s “Cannabis Connection,” Chris Carr. Topics range from testing quality of medicinal cannabis to the current laws surrounding cultivation and the impending future of legalization. The series ends with an hourlong exchange about the Santa Cruz music scene, with journalists Brad Kava and Jordan Keeling sharing their experiences reporting on the strange world of local musicians. Jennifer Gallacher of Santa Cruz Rehearsal Studios will offer listeners untapped resources to fit into the larger local arts community. Festivalgoers can submit their questions to the panelists via the Santa Cruz Speaks Facebook page at facebook.com/santacruzspeaks. The Santa Cruz Music Festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 10 at venues around downtown Santa Cruz.

FESTIVALS

COMIC STRIP Sammy Obeid, who has performed on ‘Conan’ and once did 1,000 nights of live comedy in a row, returns to Santa Cruz for DNA’s second annual comedy festival.

Screamer Lane Comedy Fest returns with surf spoof, other twists BY JACOB PIERCE “We’re looking to judge worst surfer, worst-dressed. We’re going to have every category there is, while 30 or more comedians heckle—keyword—in a goodnatured manner, the surfers and the people walking by on a busy Saturday. Everyone has said, ‘Wow, that sounds fun. That sounds like something we need,’ because so many of the events we have at Steamer Lane are super serious. People are competing in heats, and they want to get national recognition—Coldwater Classic, or whatever. We’re the complete opposite.” DNA is talking fast and sounds more high-strung than usual. It’s 13 days before the festival and the promoter is a little stressed,

having found out mere hours ago that Eddie Ifft, one of the headliners, is canceling. With Ifft out, DNA decides to cancel a Veterans Memorial Hall show, one of three paid events he had planned for Saturday. There will still be a paid show that night at Kuumbwa, where all headliners will perform, as well as a sensual, intimate, woman-friendly show at Pure Pleasure featuring an all-female lineup save for the event’s headliner, Thai Rivera, a touring gay comic. DNA is funding this whole venture with money he made at his annual summer job with the Boardwalk. If the events sell out, he’ll break even. There will be free venues all over downtown—Rosie McCann’s,

The Santa Cruz Comedy Festival is Saturday, Oct. 10. Visit standupsantacruz.com for more information.

veryone from local surf shop owners to big-wave surfer Ken “Skindog” Collins has been telling comedy promoter DNA how much they like his idea for a wacky surf competition. And to a hard-working artist, that means a lot. “I’m not a surfer. I’m a kook at best,” DNA says. His half-baked surf event kicks off at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at Steamer Lane. It’ll be the first leg of DNA’s second annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, which continues downtown later in the evening. The surf contest will have a little more “mischief” than your average extreme sports showdown, he says. “It’s not really judged on a national level. It doesn’t really matter,” DNA says of the contest.

Berdels, 99 Bottles, Metavinyl, Surf City Billiards, Tampico Kitchen and Lounge and the Poet and the Patriot. Like last year, the comedians will rush around on a tight schedule from one venue to the next, performing at multiple spots for the festival, which will share downtown with the Santa Cruz Music Festival on Saturday. DNA has been telling everyone, “It’s going to be the biggest art night ever in downtown Santa Cruz.” As of late, the man has been pushing the boundaries of standup comedy with different formats and venues. In December, for instance, he’ll be putting on a show outside a barber shop. And this past summer, the Jersey native’s faux-apocalyptic “Last Late Night Show,” which was partially inspired by sideshows he watched as a child in Atlantic City, was one of the funnier and more disturbing things GT has seen in some time. This year’s festival doesn’t wrap up until 1:30 a.m. on Sunday with four late-night mics, including one at the Poet and two at Rosie’s. There will also be a late-night open mic at Tampico, where DNA concedes things got a little out of hand last year after the restaurant doublebooked with two events—a comedy hootenanny and a party for the UCSC Swim Team—in the same room. “There were 100 swimmers who did not want comedy, and 100 comedians that did not want swimmers. It was like West Side Story. It was a verbal rumble. I feel like we won, because we had a microphone. And I apologize to the swimmers. It was way beyond my control,” DNA says, before pausing. “It was perfect is what it was.” “We started off [today] talking about ‘mischief.’ Comedy has that edge to it. It’s not malignant. It’s not malicious. We’re not evil-natured people. Everyone I book is a super awesome person. But we like mischief, because it’s funny,” DNA continues, with a laugh. “This year at Tampico, it’s no swimmers, just surfers. But swimmers are welcome. I have no problem with swimmers.”

LITERATURE

DREAM SEASON Local writer and filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn (center, back), whose most recent documentary was ‘Calypso

Dreams,’ will be honored on Friday, Oct. 9, at the Artist of the Year event at MAH.

Santa Cruz is in the Art OCTOBER 7-13, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Artist of the Year event at MAH celebrates local writer and filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn BY STEVE PALOPOLI

40

B

y his own recent count, Geoffrey Dunn has written half a million words in the last couple of years alone. And over his four-decade career as a writer, he’s published millions more— articles for newspapers in Santa Cruz (including this one, regularly) and beyond, nonfiction books, political commentary for the Huffington Post, poetry, fiction, screenplays, academic pieces and more. In addition, he founded Santa Cruz Community Television, and produces and directs documentary films; he also taught a landmark class on the documentary art form for several years at UCSC, his alma mater. Now, as he accepts the Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year award for 2015, it’s time to ask: what does he think he’s best at? “The one thing I’m good at in life,

I’m a good fish cutter,” says Dunn. And he’s not joking. Growing up in Santa Cruz, Dunn cut fish on the wharf, and to this day, he says, “everything stems from the cutting table for me.” A brief survey of Dunn’s bestknown work reveals how true this is. His 1989 book Santa Cruz is in the Heart, and its 2013 second volume, were groundbreaking local histories which had at their center the Italian families (including his own) who built the fishing industry here. His first documentary, 1984’s Dollar a Day, 10 Cents a Dance—co-directed with longtime friend Mark Schwartz while Dunn was still in grad school— was inspired by the older Filipino farmworkers he worked with at the fish-cutting tables. The film, which documents how Filipinos had been driven from Watsonville fields by

vigilantes in the 1930s, picked up international distribution and was a finalist for an Academy Award nom. His 2011 book The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power had ties to the fish-cutting table, too, as did his stories this year exposing real estate heir Robert Durst’s complicated connection to Northern California. “Humboldt, Alaska—I’m a Pacific Rim boy. I worked in the fishing industry all up and down the coast,” Dunn says. “I mean, what’s a kid in Santa Cruz doing with the Robert Durst story, writing about this New York millionaire? But I knew the territory, and I love it up there. I realized there was a story that no one had tapped into up there. I got into records that no one had been into. I found the piece in Mendocino where he had been arrested, and no one

else had gotten that. I spent literally hundreds of hours on the story.” The thrill of chasing a good story still excites him, and in fact, he finds that at 60, he’s more passionate now about his work than he’s ever been. Perhaps that’s why accolades seem to be finding him with such frequency—in addition to being named Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year, he’s been named Historian of the Year by the Santa Cruz County History Forum. “I still like to play the game,” says Dunn. “When I stop doing that, I’ll stop writing. Because I think that’s what art is—coming to any enterprise with passion, integrity, wisdom, and wanting to move people. I don’t always succeed. But I want to move people with everything I do. Not every piece I write is about moving people, but I look for the heart of each story.” Dunn will be honored at a special Artist of the Year event on Friday, Oct. 9 at the Museum of Art & History in downtown Santa Cruz, and in a way, he sees it as the best thing about the award. “I’m honored and grateful,” he says. “I’m past the stage of my life where awards mean anything other than having an excuse to bring people together.” After a book signing from 6-7 p.m., the event will kick off with a musical performance by his daughter, Tess Dunn. Both he and Tess are artists, and they’ve both faced their own challenges—he battled cancer, she continues to do the same with cystic fibrosis—and he says her fierce creativity continues to inspire him. “Tess has no fear, and she’s taught me what it means not to have fear,” he says. “My cancer has too, quite frankly. I think since my cancer, my artistic abilities, my writing abilities, my research, everything has been freed up. It’s also made me see how precious life is. When you do something, you’ve got to go for it.” The Artist of the Year event honoring Geoffrey Dunn will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9 at the MAH. Dunn will sign books from 6-7 p.m., followed by a performance by Tess Dunn. Proclamations, readings and a discussion will continue until 8:30 p.m., after which there will be mingling and refreshments. The event is free to the public; seating is limited.

Sean Hayes believes in a raw approach to music—not just the sound, but the emotion, too BY CAT JOHNSON

S

ean Hayes takes a raw approach to recording his albums. As the San Francisco-based singersongwriter tells it, he “throws four or five people in a room and stays out of the way.” He likens it to a documentary style of making records. “A recording is just more a snapshot of what’s going on in my life rather than, ‘Oh my God, we have to make this sound like a million dollars,’’’ he says, explaining that he prefers authenticity over putting on airs. “Don’t dress the song up in a fancy suit if it can’t afford it.” This no-frills approach to musicmaking runs through Hayes’ work,

from his lyrics and albums to his live performances, where he strives to be as real as possible. His experience with high-school theater in his native North Carolina introduced him to the art of being on stage and taught him the difference between playing the part of a musician, and simply being a musician. Good actors, he learned, rise above the temptation to stereotype, digging deeper into themselves to find their character. But novice actors tend to lean on cliches. Hayes sees this play out in music as well, with people “kind of playing at being a folk singer, or playing at being a genre.” “It smells bad,” he says. “They’re not

being not true. They’re pretending to be hip-hop or they’re smiling a lot and being folky, but it doesn’t smell right.” Hayes’ striving for authenticity in his own music has made him an artist who is hard to pin down to one style. He started out playing traditional American and Irish music, and his sound is definitely rooted in those styles, but at any moment Hayes might pull in elements of jazz, rock, electronic, or soul. His catalog ranges from acoustic folk tunes to beat-driven songs that toe the line of being pop to soulful ballads that spotlight Hayes’ emotional and stylistic range. He’s had famed House DJ Mark Farina remix his song “Dream Machine,” folk outfit

the Be Good Tanyas cover his tune "A Thousand Tiny Pieces," and his song "Fucked Me Right Up" picked up by the HBO comedy Bored to Death. The connecting thread between all of Hayes’ songs is his straightshooting songwriting style. He is honest and refreshingly open, singing about love, sex, emotions, and bigpicture topics such as living a good life, and being open to different people and experiences. “At its worst, it’s like somebody’s serving you a really horrible dinner with way too many genres,” he says with a laugh. “At its best, hopefully it all fits together.” Hayes describes what he plays as folk music because when stripped down, it’s “a voice and a guitar and it can survive on a porch somewhere.” “It’s not folk music like Mighty Wind or Bob Dylan,” he says, “it’s just that, at its root, it can be played by myself.” He adds that, by that same definition, hip-hop is folk music. “You sit on your porch and beatbox and rap. It’s very elemental and basic.” From those essential elements, songs can grow into just about any style or sound. “It’s really about how you want to dress them up after that,” he says. With seven solo albums to his name, Hayes is now working on his eighth, with plans to release it next spring. At the heart of the new collection of songs is a tune called “Magic Slim vs. Dynamite,” a retro groove about two men battling on the street for money, fame, and the affections of a woman. When asked about the overall feel of the new album, Hayes hints that it has a classic, sensual soul vibe (Hayes has drawn comparisons to soul great Bill Withers) but that—true to form— it extends into several other styles as well. “It goes a little bit, at times, into this soul thing,” he says, “But it has more of a folk vibe … there are some moments when it gets a little dance-y.” He eventually distills his description of the new songs to “R&B, bluesy, soul, folk jams.” “We’ll see,” he says, “if it all sticks together as a whole.” Sean Hayes will perform at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $24/adv, $27/door. 603-2294.

LOCAL BAND

POST STREET RHYTHM PEDDLERS The Post Street Rhythm Peddlers come armed with a banjo, trumpet, washboard, clarinet, and everything else a prohibition-era jazz band needs. The nine members are all full of grins, a ton of fun to watch, and aware that, to a lot of modern audiences, the music may unfairly seem just like novelty. “From an outside perspective, the music seems goofy. But at the time, in the 1920s, this kind of jazz was the rock ’n’ roll of its day,” says pianist Dave Faulkner. “It was just a raging party time in the United States, and the music really reflects that, just booze and drinking and partying. We try to recreate that in some respects, but also bring a modern twist.”

OCTOBER 7-13, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The group is oddly connected to a local electronic scene based on the sub-genre called electro-swing, where DJs sample old swing records and add electronic beats to it. They’ve been the only live band at most of these events, and have no electronics whatsoever, but have been a favorite among these audiences.

52

The group has been around a number of years, but has gone through some lineup changes. They dress up and play mostly covers of songs from the era of upbeat old-timey jazz, but they keep it loose, and let their other musical influences, like psych-jam band, shine through. “It’s still 85 percent Dixieland traditional early jazz, but there’s no music stands. It’s kind of a handicap. If you’re reading, it’s one step less from being fully enveloped in the music,” Faulkner says. “We try to give it a more modern party experience rather than trying to create the time period exactly verbatim.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $13/door. 479-1854.

THURSDAY 10/8 NEW ORLEANS

YOUNGBLOOD BRASS BAND A New Orleans brass band from Madison, Wisconsin? That’s the Youngblood Brass Band for you. Technically, the band has members from Madison, Brooklyn, Nashville, Minneapolis and Chicago, but it has New Orleans style and groove running deep through its ranks. And there’s a twist: this 10-piece adds punk attitude, jazz stylings and organic hip-hop inspired breaks to create a lively sound that bends boundaries and gets dance floors bouncing. CAT JOHNSON

Africa’s largest city resulted in her latest album, The Lagos Music Salon, a project that pulses with the fervent and resourceful creativity of Nigeria’s sprawling former capital. Possessing a luscious voice and intrepid musical spirit, Somi keeps exceptional company on the bandstand, including the brilliant guitarist Liberty Ellman, a standout on the 1990s Bay Area jazz scene and an acclaimed bandleader in his own right.

XAVIER RUDD & THE UNITED NATIONS

JAZZ VOCALS

Xavier Rudd is listed as playing only three instruments on his latest album, Nanna. That’s actually pretty remarkable, considering that the Australian singer-songwriter is known to take up three to four times that number, sometimes all at once. Well, Rudd used to play solo, and would surround himself with

instruments, and most of them are weird instruments that only exist in Australia and at Burning Man. But he’s backed by his group the United Nations on this album and tour, and they’ve created a more collaborative record. It’s as uplifting, earthy and distinctly Australian (i.e., didgeridoo) as his earlier work, but United Nations leans much heavier into a breezy reggae groove.

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK/TRIBUTE

SLUGS N’ ROSES How many Grateful Dead tribute bands have the word “slug” in their name? I’m thinking our local Slugs N’ Roses may well be the only one. And just as slugs hold a special place in the hearts of many Santa Cruzans, so too do the Grateful Dead, that one-of-a-kind musical and cultural creative explosion that lit up the Bay Area back in the day and continues to ripple through the collective consciousness. On Friday, Slugs N’ Roses, with the help of Grammynominated singer Tammi Brown, does what they do best: pay tribute to the legendary band and give all the

FOLK-ROCK

It’s hard to imagine the emotive, lush ’70s folk-rock sound without picturing Gordon Lightfoot. His melancholy storytelling and flawed baritone voice were all over AM radio at the time. The Canadian singersongwriter actually started out in the ’60s, but it was in the mid-70s that he had his biggest stretch of singles: “Carefree Highway,” “Rainy Day People,” “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” He has gone on to influence musicians in genres ranging from country to rock to alternative. The 76-year-old Lightfoot has had health issues the past decade, so he hasn’t played much lately, but he seems to be doing better now. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $65. 423-8209.

LATIN ROCK

LOS LOBOS After 40 years of music, three Grammy wins and a score of albums, Los Lobos has become a household name. Their unique blend of Tex Mex, country funk, Latin Rock and everything in between has earned them a place in rock ’n’ roll history all their own. This Saturday, the “wolves of East L.A.” will be playing two shows, at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., with no openers, so make sure to get there early. MAT WEIR INFO: 6:30 & 9:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $45-$50. 479-1854.

INDIE-FOLK

FRUIT BATS In 2007, Eric D. Johnson joined the Shins for four years. He was an obvious choice for the group, as he came up in the same indie-folk scene back in the late ’90s. Johnson has in fact played in a lot of bands, like Califone and I Rowboat, but all along, he maintained a side project called Fruit Bats, of which he is the

HAPA In 1995, Hapa broke onto the Hawaiian music scene with their self-titled debut album. Driven by cross-cultural (Hapa means “half” in Hawaiian) backgrounds and styles, the duo quickly became a favorite on the islands, and played informal musical ambassador to us mainlanders. Despite losing one half of the duo to a solo career, then his replacement to an untimely death, the group’s founder, Barry Flanagan, has regrouped and recreated Hapa. The latest iteration sees him collaborating with multiinstrumentalist singer-songwriter Kapono Na’ili’ili. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $25/adv, $30/door. 603-2294.

FILM

PRODIGAL LOVE Chen Daoming and Gong Li in Zhang Yimou’s latest film ‘Coming Home,’ a deeply resonant story of love, loss and attempted reconciliation.

Red Scars OCTOBER 7-13, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Mao’s politics made personal in poignant Chinese family drama ‘Coming Home’ BY LISA JENSEN

58

V

eteran Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou is the master of emotional nuance. In haunting, deeply textured films like Raise the Red Lantern and The Road Home, he suggests oceans of feeling roiling beneath the surface of the slightest glance or gesture. After a few recent detours into lavish martial arts epics, Zhang is back at the top of his game in his new film Coming Home, a spare, simple-seeming, deeply resonant story whose life-sized characters will break your heart. Scripted by Jingzhi Zhou (from a novel by Yan Geling), the film tells a moving story of love, loss, and attempted reconciliation beginning in the final years of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. As in most of Zhang’s

work, the ongoing political turmoil of 20th-century China is a huge factor in the lives of ordinary people just trying to scrape by and survive. And, as is often the case in his best work, this film makes personally enormous, cataclysmic events by exploring their impact on individual lives. The stage is set in the opening sequence when a bevy of teenage girls in pigtails are dancing fierce, precision ballet moves with rifles. They are students at a dance academy in rehearsals for a production of (what else?) “The Red Detachment of Women.” One of the girls vying for the lead role, 13-year-old Dandan (the excellent Zhang Huiwen) is called into the director’s office, where her mother, Yu (the lovely Gong Li, filmmaker

Zhang’s longtime muse) is also waiting. The director tells them both the news that Yu’s husband, whom she hasn’t seen in 10 years, the father that Dandan doesn’t remember at all, has escaped from a labor camp. Momentarily satisfied that Yu is not in contact with her runaway spouse, Communist Party agents stake out their apartment in case he returns. And prodigal husband Lu (Chen Daoming) does try to return; but, unable to get inside, he manages to slip Yu a note to meet him at the train station. This sets in motion a series of events predicated on love, courage, ambition, and betrayal that result in Lu’s recapture, while Yu sustains a slight head injury in the melee.

Three years later, Mao and his supporters have died or been deposed, the Cultural Revolution is declared over, and prisoners are being released—including Lu. But the happy homecoming he yearns for is shattered when he finds out Yu is suffering from a selective form of amnesia and doesn’t recognize him. To make things more poignant for Lu, his wife knows that her beloved husband is coming home and goes every day to the train station to meet him, but she’s unable to see in Lu the man she loves. Zhang plays the material as a chamber piece of small, resonant notes. Mother and daughter are estranged, yet Dandan becomes Lu’s ally in trying to trigger Yu’s memory—a goal complicated by the fact that young, Partybred Dandan once cut all the photos of her outlaw father out of the family album. Lu tries everything to reinsert himself in Yu’s memory and her life, from coming down the steps with the other arrivees at the station, to reading her a cache of his old letters. A moment when he plays her favorite music on her old upright piano is both sweet and devastating. Zhang keeps the ideology to a minimum. We never know for what alleged “crime” Lu was imprisoned, we never see anyone speaking against the Party in private, and when officials come to her home to ferret out her personal politics after her husband’s escape, Yu’s silence is eloquent. Party politics are never discussed. No one seems to know or care much about the ideological details whose enforcement governs and destroys their lives. Gong Li (still beauteous at age 50) plays her deglamorized role with heartfelt poise, and Chen Daoming is wonderful as her aching but ever-loyal husband. This is a film of small, precise moments to be savored. COMING HOME ***1/2 (out of four) With Gong Li, Chen Daoming and Zhang Huiwen. Written by Jingzhi Zhou. Directed by Zhang Yimou. A Sony Classics release. Rated PG13. 117 minutes.

Here is what clients are saying about All Pets: “Dr. Cholden and staff are excellent. I called, as a new patient, and explained that my sick dog, Turbo, needed immediate attention and the receptionist booked an appointment that very same day. When I arrived I was greeted with such kindness and caring for Turbo, that really helped to comfort me. Dr. Cholden came in to examine Turbo and was very caring and thorough spending a lot of time to explain everything to me and what was needed to get him back to health. He called the next morning to see how Turbo was doing and later that day to tell me about his blood work. I completely trust him for future appointments regarding Turbo’s healing.� -Nanette V, Boulder Creek

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

OCTOBER 7-13, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BIG STONE GAP It’s 1978 and Ave Maria Mulligan finds herself Big Stone Gap’s old maid—but after a life-changing event, she’s not who she thought she was at all. Before she can blink twice, Mulligan (played by the everadorable Ashley Judd) is fending off marriage proposals and greedy family members, and planning a trip halfway around the world to find her father. With hilarious supporting ladies like Whoopi Goldberg, Jenna Elfman, and Jane Krakowski, Big Stone Gap will surely invite chuckles, if not cheese-tipped tears and warm fuzzies. Adriana Trigiani directs. Ashley Judd, Patrick Wilson, Whoopi Goldberg co-star. (PG-13) 103 minutes.

62

HE NAMED ME MALALA Malala Yousafzai is still a teenager, but it’s possible to look at her life story and not be amazed—she’s a goofball who can do card tricks, she laughs at herself, but she’s also the young Pakistani girl who was shot in the head for taking a stand against the Taliban. Her wisdom and her courage in supporting girls’ education around the world has stunned world leaders. He Named Me Malala takes a look at what has made one young girl an international hero. Davis Guggenheim directs. Malala Yousafzai, Ziauddin Yousafzai and Toor Pekai Yousafzai co-star. (PG13) 87 minutes. PAN Wait, have you heard this one—the story of the boy who would never grow up? You may think you have, but never like this. Director Joe Wright and the studio who brought us Harry Potter create Peter Pan’s previously unimagined origin story—the one before Hook’s hand got chomped off and Pan was the hero. Hugh Jackman is hairless and almost unrecognizable as Blackbeard, and Rooney Mara plays Tiger Lily in an epic CGI fantasy world that paints a Neverland where friends start off as enemies and enemies as friends. Levi Miller, Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund co-star. (PG) 111 minutes.

The theme for the fall 2015 season is “Incongruous Relationships.” This month features Giulia Doesn’t Date at Night (Giulia non esce la sera). Giuseppe Piccioni’s 2009 drama tells the story of an unusual relationship between Gulia, a swimming instructor, and Guido, a writer. Valeria Golino, who co-starred in Rainman, stars. (NR) 105 minutes. In Italian with English subtitles. Logan Walker, film studies lecturer at SJSU, will introduce the film and conduct an after-film Q&A. 7 p.m., Oct. 11. Cabrillo College, VAPA Art History Forum Room 1001, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos. Free. 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 location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING 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 way 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. Stewart might even crack that face with some more 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. BLACK MASS Just when you thought you’d seen Johnny Depp at his creepiest, he puts on jagged tiny teeth and a blondish receding

hairline to become the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston. While it’s true that a terrible film can still feature a brilliant cast, Black Mass shows true promise with Depp as mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, Joel Edgerton as his ally in the FBI, Benedict Cumberbatch as his senator brother, and a smattering of genre crossovers like Adam Scott, David Harbour, and Corey Stoll. Scott Cooper directs. (R) 122 minutes. EVEREST As eight Everest climbers make their way up the summit, a massive storm hits and it’s every man for himself. Goosebumps are inevitable when watching this harrowing tale of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster and the survival attempts of two expedition groups. The star-studded (yet just gritty enough to be believable) cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clarke, Sam Worthington, Robin Wright, and Keira Knightley. Baltasar Kormákur directs. (PG-13) 121 minutes. HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 Last time Adam Sandler tried to make a movie, half the cast walked off the set, so it’s probably best that this time he leaves the directing to Genndy Tartakovsky, sticks to a children's film and plays an animated character so nobody can see his face. (Too mean? We say too true.) In the second round of Hotel Transylvania, Dracula is elated to be a grandvampire, except that Johnny and Mavis’ baby is half-vampire, half-human, and with his foofy mess of red curls, adorable face and very apparent lack of fangs, he’s not quite living up to his family legacy. Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez co-star. (PG) 89 minutes. THE INTERN Robert De Niro is the intern and Anne Hathaway is his boss. Yes, yes, we know—role reversal, oh, the irony! (Of the Alanis Morissette variety, obviously.) Chortles aside, Robert De Niro could bring a certain element of heartwarming nostalgia to this critique of the baby-driven entrepreneurial movement behind modern tech companies and

startups. Or the whole thing could just be a big old schmaltz-fest with Hathaway crying a lot. We all know how she loves to cry. Nancy Meyers directs. Rene Russo co-stars. (PG13) 121 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. THE MARTIAN Astronaut Mark Watney is left stranded on Mars after a storm hits and he’s presumed dead—but somehow, he maintains a pretty positive outlook on the whole thing, despite the fact that he only has enough food for 50 days, the terrain isn’t suited for agriculture, and it’ll take four years to get a message back to Earth. There are, of course, complications with attempts to rescue Watney but with such a stellar cast (can you say Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover a.k.a Childish Gambino?) we don’t even care if he dies at the end. Note: we have no idea if he dies at the end. Ridley Scott directs. (PG-13) 141 minutes. MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS Oh, oh, oh, it’s Littlefinger from Game of Thrones and the Effy from BBC’s Skins—plus that adorable kid also from Thrones. Memorable faces aside, the movie’s about a bunch of children who escape an experimental facility and venture out into the desolate landscape of “The Scorch,” where they’re hunted. And … zombies? It’s a teen flick, but it still looks better than those Shailene Woodley Hunger Games knockoffs. Wes Ball directs. Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster co-star. (PG-13) 131 minutes. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE- ROGUE NATION At this point, audiences may 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. (PG13) 131 minutes. SICARIO Emily Blunt is like the way cooler, less smiley version of Anne Hathaway. She’s British and she cries less. She can sing, play Queen Victoria, that super badass chick in Edge of Tomorrow, and everything in between. Did we mention that she’s the total package? Fawning aside, Benicio del Toro is also in this movie! He’s in charge of showing the young idealistic FBI agent the ropes as she struggles to understand the world of Mexican drug cartels. Denis Villeneuve directs. Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro (R) 121 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.

FOOD & DRINK silky tofu in fiery broth that will cleanse you of whatever is making you tired, impure or sad. It is religion in a bowl. If you want something a bit heavier, dive into the crispy rice in the stone pot with its accompanying spinach, carrots, mushrooms, kimchi and fried egg. It will fill you without being overfilling. There is also the grill, with its offerings of chicken and beef bulgogi, served with gochujang, a thick red spicy paste that is placed on rice and wrapped up in lettuce with your grilled meat. The jopchae is Korea’s answer to spaghetti, and this dish rivals the best of Italy; clear glass noodles made from sweet potatoes, served with a sweet and savory tamari dressing and julienne vegetables. Side note: kids love this dish. You cannot go wrong here. When you leave Sesame Korean you will marvel at how well you feel—not overly full, and re-energized. Yes, it has to end. But you can keep going back. Sesame Korean, 435 Front St., Santa Cruz, 429-5555.

I

am always surprised to discover how little my fellow diners know about Korea’s pickled past, especially given our elevated consciousness around healthful eating and the current fermentation frenzy. Having lived in South Korea for a year, I can tell you that Sesame Korean is a great place to begin understanding how healthy this culture’s cuisine really is. It begins with Sesame Korean’s ban chun, which are complimentary side dishes at the start of the meal that are brimming with nutrition: perfectly seasoned soybean sprouts, pickled daikon, sweetened potatoes,

boiled seasoned spinach, sweet black beans, and the inimitable cabbage kimchi. Great care is taken with the ban chun at Sesame Korean, and it is readily replaced with more. The ban chun will have prepped your taste buds for a meal first served about 2,000 years ago during the Silla dynasty—that’s a long time to find perfection, agreed? The main ingredients in most of Sesame’s dishes are Korean classics: salting, preserving, fermenting, and the flavors of red pepper, garlic, ginger and scallions. A new spin on a classic is the spicy chicken

wings, which is Sesame’s answer to Buffalo wings, and should set your mouth on fire. If spice is not your thing, take in a savory vegetable pancake, which is thick and mild and perfect for dipping in seasoned soy sauce. Or you can try the sumptuous grilled pork belly, the perfect no-carb small bite. Winter is on its way, and the nights are colder, so if you are seeking warmth and happiness, this place has your number: Order either the bubbling soondubu or the bi bim bop, a sizzling ricebased bowl in a very hot stone pot. The soondubu offers up soft

At last Wednesday’s Farmers Market downtown, I was lulled over to the Back Porch food truck where I purchased two overstuffed, mouthwatering tacos, one of which I ate on the spot, standing, uncivilized, juice dripping down my chin. From the looks of those around me, we were all doing the same—caught in the act of sheer public pleasure. The guys at the truck handed me their “Supper Club” invite and I was like, “did that public display just gain me entry into Back Porch’s secret club? I’m there!” Turns out we are all invited, but seats go fast. On the menu: stuffed Cornish hens, Cinderella pumpkin mousse, pumpkin bread pudding with brandy and chicken demi-glace, roasted squash with candied lemons and pickled vegetables, risotto, and winter greens. $50. 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 18 at the Great Pumpkin Patch in Soquel Village. 206-604-9482 or backporchsc@yahoo.com.

urely you have at least one friend who insists you use only extra virgin olive oil—or perhaps you are that friend? Well, guess what, you’re onto something, both for taste and health reasons. Dos Aguilas is an Aptos company that grows five varieties of Tuscan olives, and processes and packages the oil, which is available in grocery stores. Also, during the month of October, they let folks come in and pick their own olives right out of the orchard. We spoke with Roger Wolfe, or the “Olive Dude” as he refers to himself, the operator and grower at Dos Aguilas.

ROGER WOLFE: I became aware that local people had been harvesting their own olives off of trees, like in front of banks and things like that. They could no longer do it because the olive fruit fly became ubiquitous in the state of California. Prior to 1999, when we planted the trees, there were no olive fruit flies in California. Now, they’re everywhere. Why not have people pick some of the olives that we use for oil?

What are people doing with these olives? Most of what we grow is Leccino, the favorite table olive in Tuscany. There’s a different curing method for every level of ripeness. They all start out green, then they go to red and then

black. They take anywhere from five days to a year. Some of these olives aren’t available anywhere. These fresh-cracked green Mediterranean olives, they’re really popular in France, but nobody produces them here. They’re a great snack item.

What does your olive oil taste like? Some [olive oils] are known for being real buttery. Some are known for being peppery. I go for what we call a medium taste. The way you can determine how peppery it is, is when you harvest it. If you harvest your olives when they’re real green, you get the burn in the back of the throat. I wait a little longer, so that burn in the back of the throat, which some people refer to as the Tuscan tickle, isn’t so severe, because Americans really don’t like that.

What’s something people don’t know about olive oil? The oil, when we start harvesting it, we start selling it right away. That’s known as olio nuovo. The rest of the oil we let sit for three months before we bottle it. But the olio nuovo is bright green. It’s like olive juice. It’s something Americans aren’t used to having. That’s definitely my favorite of the olive oils. 1855 Pleasant Valley, Aptos, 252-0752, dosaguilasoliveoil.com.

Ritchey and his wife Katharine are now on a mission to turn out the best wines possible—dedicated to those who have inspired, supported and encouraged others to achieve their dreams. Ritchey continues to grow Bottle Jack while working on winemaking teams for a number of wineries located in the Santa Cruz Mountains and gaining experience abroad in Italy, France, Switzerland, and Moldova. “Our hands are in every step of the process from grape to bottle,� Ritchey says. Tastings are held at Bottle Jack from noon to 4 p.m. on the third Saturday of each month. Oct. 17 is the release date for Bottle Jack’s Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah and Reserve Syrah with a special Syrah tasting flight that will include library wines going back to 2008. On Nov. 21 and 22 the winery will be open for Passport (visit scmwa.com for information) and will include specials on wines that pair well for Thanksgiving, along with some Thanksgiving-inspired food.

here’s a new winery in town called Bottle Jack, and judging from the Zinfandel I tried at Gourmet Grazing on the Green last month, it will be making its mark on the local scene. Friends told me they joined the winery’s Wine Club immediately when they visited for a tasting. When a friend came by for a late afternoon visit, I cracked open Bottle Jack’s 2012 Zinfandel, Santa Cruz Mountains ($32) to pair with some creamy Brie on a crusty French baguette, and we demolished nearly the whole bottle. Full-bodied and rich, this lusty wine is what a Zin should be: fruit forward with lots of blueberry, blackberry and a soupçon of pepper and cinnamon running through, adding to its intrigue and intensity. This 2012 Zinfandel received accolades at the California State Fair, winning Best Micro Red, Best of Class of Region, and Double Gold (98 pts)—and credit is due as the competition is stiff. Winemaker John Ritchey says he started Bottle Jack as a project while earning his enology degree at Fresno State University in 2008, also gaining experience at David Bruce Winery. The definition of a Bottle Jack, as many of you must be wondering, is a

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MERCURY DIRECT IN LIBRA, COLUMBUS DAY Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 7, 2015 Mercury completes its retrograde Friday, poised stationary direct Friday evening at zero degrees Libra. Mercury begins its journey through Libra once again, completing its retrograde shadow Oct. 12. Things should be a bit less complicated by then. Daily life works better, plans move forward, large purchases can be made, and communication eases. Everything on hold during the retrograde is slowly released. Since we eliminated all thoughts and ideas no longer needed (the purpose of Mercury’s retrograde) during the retrograde, we can now gather new information—until the next retrograde occurs on Jan. 5, 2016 (1.3 degrees Aquarius), retrograding back to 15 degrees Capricorn on Jan. 25. It’s good to know beforehand

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 We’ve all been through weeks of readjustment with the Mercury retrograde. How has it been for you in terms of relationship interactions? No one is immune from the retrograde. Have you discovered new ways of relating, or perhaps new information about those you love? In the coming weeks you’ll reorient again and again with loving others more.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

when Mercury will retrograde next—Jan. 5, the day before Epiphany. Monday is Columbus Day, when the sailor from Genoa arrived in the new lands (Americas), Oct. 12, 1492. This discovery by Columbus was the first encounter of Europeans with Native Americans. Monday is also the (19 degrees) Libra new moon festival. Libra’s keynote while building the personality is, “Let choice be made.” Libra is the sign of making life choices. Often under great tension of opposing forces seeking harmony and balance. There is a battle between our lower (personality) and higher selves (soul). We are tested and called to cultivate right judgment and love.

You are attempting to reorganize so that each day it’s easier to navigate. This change is temporary, though it calls for a great readjustment. You will be learning many things during this time, like understanding and compassion. Especially for those you can’t seem to forgive. Understanding comes through loss and suffering. It’s how humanity learns.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Finally you move forward with important daily tasks. Things have been confusing with bills and finances. You make changes but somehow they’re not heard, recorded or implemented. Consider all delays as helping you. In the days ahead, you become more organized, details are tended to and life becomes steadier, more composed. You will do what is needed. The path is clear.

Things won’t feel like they’re solidified for several more weeks. You don’t know what it is you need to feel more safe and secure. You just know you do. You hope something new occurs, new events to restructure your life. At times you pray, asking for help. The veils are drawn in front of your eyes. Like Lady Justice. It’s purposeful. So you can look more inward than outward. Into your heart. And study yourself a bit there.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

So much will change, more choices will become available and finally a true direction is sensed. But you still must weigh the dualities and make a choice. The future may be different than expected. What you don’t choose may stay with you for a while. You will wonder if the choice was wrong. Should you retrace your steps no time is lost. Everything is an experience for greater knowledge. Everything leads you to a new creative focus. And tender care.

You are pondering upon who you can trust, who your friends are (true friends) and which groups you need to be part of for continued connections. There are new friends and old, new and old places. New realities quietly appear. You need people, ideas, work, home to be reliable, focused, real and secure. Your mantra again to help you: “Let reality govern my every thought and truth be the master of my life.” This mantra seeds everything.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Was there confusion and difficulty around communication these past weeks? Almost driving you to distraction, and perhaps a sense of despair? The winding road from one mind to another seemed blocked forever. Detours didn’t work. Maps for the journey were blurred. In the coming weeks things become clear, less obstructed, uncertainties disappear. It’s always good to stay in the heart, especially when difficulties appear.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Financial matters will begin to resolve. It felt like your values were in question these past difficult weeks. But in reality they are stronger and now more in control of your life. Nothing has been lost. Not time or resources. But it’s a good idea to redesign your financial picture, remembering to tithe first, to save second. Then tend to bills and everyday needs. Call upon Venus if help is needed.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Your daily life and its rhythms were somehow disrupted.

across from Dominican Hospital

WWW.FABULOUSFINDSCORNERSTORE.ORG

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 It’s important to be able to explain yourself, who you are, what is important to you. It’s important to communicate, correcting difficult misconceptions that may have occurred during the retrograde. Communication is the basis for real love, the need for those we find valuable. Communication nurtures, and has the ability to bring truth into focus. Sometimes the truth is painful. In Libra we go back and forth about things. So we can later choose where we stand.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 There’s been a lot of uncertainty the last weeks. For some, great changes are occurring. Some need to move. Some will travel. Begin a new journey. Enter onto a new path. Will it be the road known or the one less traveled? Most importantly all items in one’s life must be re-assessed and re-determined as to their usefulness. Anything not useful must be given away, sold or recycled. So you can be free. So choices can be made.

facials massage Lj waxing body treatment

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Events transpire that lead to a reassessment of values and beliefs. Things forgotten reappear. People and places are remembered. You try to return to the past. But it disappears. This leaves one in grief. For Pisces, it’s despair. You must do what you can to provide a sense of comfort and ease, a sense of independence, and know the self as valuable. Summon the template of balance. Balance harmonizes, and neutralizes karma.

You’ve been quite silent these past weeks. Tending to home, family and creative endeavors, laying new foundations for the future. Silence is good, allowing us to sense directly each next step. Silence allows for no distractions. During this time of inner contemplation you are choosing the people who will remain in your life, and who will not. Remember to align always with the will-to-good.

BETH SHADY, 23-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Registered Rep, New York Life Securities; Seaweed Art Hobbies: Love cooking, gardening, reading, active with ocean/marine conservation bike riding, sailing, walking West Cliff, art & crafts So you love to cook? Yes, my favorite style is probably California cuisine using fresh, local items. I love to make salads, also Italian, Thai and many other cuisines. My specialty is barbecue: I make fabulous ribs and interesting burgers such as turkey burgers with chipotle — out of this world! I have a huge cookbook selection. I like using simple foods and then experimenting by adding a twist of flavors. Shopper’s is my favorite market — I’m here several times a week. It’s like a toy store for me. Where some people hate grocery shopping I love it! I’ll never forget what the person who first recommended me to Shopper’s said.

Which was? ‘They have great meats and many exotic products which are hard to find elsewhere.’ I prefer to use only the best ingredients. I like that they stay on top of foods trends such as quinoa and gluten-free products, a variety of yogurts, milks, spices, chocolates, and much more. I took two wine classes from Cabrillo College and feel that I have extensive knowledge. Shopper’s has the best wine selections — great local and international varietals — all at different price ranges. I can find everything I need here, and it’s not a big-box store with an overwhelming supply of things you really don’t need.

OUR 77 T H Y EAR

Not a fan of the big chains, eh? I don’t like the gigantic mondo corporate stores. Shopper’s supports the community and carries great local products which are healthy and good for my family such as the fresh produce, their eggs, jams and jellies, numerous salsas, and Pasta Mike’s fresh products. I also get a sense of community and it’s social venue: You meet people who share their excitement about good food. The butchers are interested in what you’re making and will offer tips, recipes, and will cut, trim, and even tenderize your meat. That’s old-school and unheard of these days. I know most of the cashiers and enjoy our friendly interactions. I’m discriminating about food, and Shopper’s is for people who like to cook.
