OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Santa Cruz was all-in very early in the organic food revolution, and some of the local trailblazers are still thriving today. Staff of Life, for instance, has been around for 40 years, and this weekend New Leaf Community Markets celebrates its 30th anniversary with a block party at their Westside store. In this issue, Geoffrey Dunn uses the occasion of the anniversary celebration as an opportunity to dig

deeper into the roots of the organic movement by profiling New Leaf co-founder Scott Roseman, who’s been involved with it locally for four decades. Dunn traces the history of New Leaf back not only to Roseman’s time in Our Neighborhood Food Co-Op in the late ’70s and early ’80s, but also—on a more philosophical level, perhaps—his involvement with the alternative-press explosion in Santa Cruz. The simple but profound motivation Roseman describes for the work he’s done in the food movement—expressed in a single sentence, but also a larger theme that recurs and informs the entire story—is inspiring.

PALE GREEN? Congratulations to UC Irvine for being the Sierra Club’s greenest school for two years in a row. First two-time winner ever. And kudos to UC Davis (No. 2), UC San Diego (No. 7) and UC Berkeley (No. 10). Wow! Four UC campuses in the top 10! But wait, where is UCSC? Not number 18, that’s UC Santa Barbara. Not number 39, that’s Chico State. Here it is, number 44! What? Here, in the world’s greenest city, our cherished City on the Hill is No. 44? Doesn’t UCSC offer environmental science degrees? Don’t they pride themselves on understanding the relationship between the environment and social justice? Isn’t the Long Marine Lab all about protecting the Bay? OK, students, here is your homework assignment: Either show that the Sierra Club made a math error in

tallying up the points for your ever-sogreen campus, or get it green! We want to see that ranking becoming a much, much smaller number. Or you need to relocate to the coal mines of Wyoming. PAUL BURKE | SANTA CRUZ

INVENTING OURSELVES We loved your article on local inventions ( GT , 9/9), but you’ve barely scratched the surface. The Santa Cruz Area Inventors Association has been meeting for more than 25 years to share ideas and get advice on our projects, and a number of successes have come from the members. We discuss every aspect of bringing a raw idea to market, including product design, protecting our ideas, manufacturing and marketing. The variety and ingenuity is astounding, and it’s a small enough group for everyone to get time. We currently meet at Denny’s on Ocean Street the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m., and it’s open to all aspiring or established inventors.

Staying the heck away from the water at Pinto Lake would be a good idea. Recent tests around the Watsonville Lake indicate harmful levels of toxins produced by blue-green algae, according to the county Environmental Health Department. People and pets should not have contact with or drink the water, they say. Toxins from bluegreen algae have been blamed for several dogs’ deaths in Humboldt, Alameda and Sacramento counties.

Santa Cruz’s New Bohemia Brewing Co. took home the bronze medal in the German-style Wheat Ale category last month at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Monkey Business, their winning hefeweizen, was made with 50 percent dark wheat malt and a traditional Bavarian yeast strain. NewBo, as it’s also known, has been celebrating Oktoberfest every weekend in October with new beers on tap most every week.

According to the online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French fasciner and the Latin fascinatus, which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.” In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.” My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible? It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but yes, it is.

More than any other sign, you have an ability to detach yourself from life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer that you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality. But I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher even as you're almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. It’s a saw that weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it's perfect for the job. Indeed, that’s what it’s used for over in Kazakhstan. Right now, Taurus, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment. That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.

Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said. It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions. Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points. But I suspect that in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of the grace period! Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

“A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde. I appreciate the wit, but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you, Capricorn? In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders? Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?

In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not. In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual, and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off-balance. Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not. But in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom. You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to long-standing dilemmas. To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. 1. “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” 2. “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” 3. “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”

Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s impermanence. After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor. I don’t recommend that you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers? Would you consider diverging from formulas that have always worked for you? Are there any unnecessary taboos that need to be broken? Experiment with the possible blessings that might come by not clinging to the illusion of “permanence.”

New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way. There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides. Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. So please make room for surprises.

Some unraveling is inevitable. What has been woven together must now be partially unwoven. But please refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback. Instead, consider it an opportunity to reexamine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad you will get a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. In fact, I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. And for best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way,” by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before. And yet there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.” Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love. But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate. When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert. I mention this, Aquarius, because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals, as well. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 When I advise you to GET NAKED, I don’t mean it in a literal sense. Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of self-revelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth. But getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets. Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability. Gently and sweetly and poetically tell the Purveyors of Unholy Repression to take their boredom machine and shove it up their humdrum.

RE: RAIL All transportation in this world is government subsidized. Why limit our options to a few bicycles? We need to keep all of our options open. Keep the tracks. Build trails.

I’m surprised to learn how many passengers used trains coming in to the county, like the Suntan Special and the fact that we had streetcars before the automobile industry changed everything. These days rail opponents act as though rail could never work here. Well, surprise, not only can it work, it has worked and it will work again. Once built, ridership will grow and grow and the economy will transform to embrace this new improved form of mobility. — BARRY SCOTT

LET’S GO LAUNDRY! LET’S GO LAUNDRY! How we root for our favorite sports teams can affect our health, researchers say.

Game Grief The biochemical effects of sports fandom BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

T

increased violence—with alcohol consumption doubtlessly adding fuel to the fire. But the effects of sports passion on health transcend the obvious, and may actually work on a biochemical level, too. Recent research published in Psychological Science showed that fans of losing teams ate more calories and saturated fat, presumably trying to “eat their feelings” after a tough loss, and that fans of winning teams ate less fat and overall calories. So not only might your team’s loss lead to depression, it may also lead to weight gain—talk about adding insult to injury. Previous research has also found that blood pressure and levels of the stress hormone cortisol both increase, especially in passionate fans, while watching their favorite teams play, regardless of the outcome. Researchers have long known that both male and female

athletes experience an increase in testosterone after a victory and a decrease after a loss. But a 1998 study conducted by researchers at the University of Utah also found that testosterone levels can rise and fall in fans, too. The study looked at male fans of college basketball rivals and international soccer rivals, and found that in both cases testosterone significantly increased in fans of the winning teams and decreased in fans of the losing teams. This finding may be due to “BIRG,” which stands for “basking in reflected glory” and is a concept defined by the study’s authors as a cognitive process “in which individuals increase their self-esteem by identifying with successful others.” This cognitive loophole of sorts allows humans to symbolically piggyback on the success of others.

he tragic story of Paulo Ricardo Gomes da Silva starts innocently enough, with the 26-year-old Brazilian man attending a soccer game in May of 2014. With the game tied at 1-1, rioting broke out in the stands and da Silva was hit and killed by a toilet, which had been ripped out of a bathroom and thrown through the air. At the end of the melee, 40 fans were arrested. While the fatality is one of the more extreme cases of sports fandom, it brings to light an important theme: a sports fan’s health may be more wrapped up in their team than they ever thought possible. A study published in 2005 in the journal Injury Prevention found that assault-related emergency room visits increased when Welsh national rugby and soccer teams won, perhaps establishing a link between fans of winning teams and

social creatures by nature, and often win or lose collectively as families, teams and communities, so this cognitive process may be an evolutionary way of encouraging group identity and increased social affiliation. In fact, sports fans often use words like “we” and “us” to describe their team, revealing the nature and depth of true fandom. So what does the rise or fall of testosterone have to do with our health? Well, the major sex hormone, responsible for the development of many male physical characteristics, also has powerful effects on the mind—and low levels may cause depression, difficulty concentrating and a low libido, to name a few. But while a winning-induced testosterone burst may seem like a good thing, it is definitely a classic case of the double-edged sword. Although evidence is sometimes conflicting, some studies suggest higher testosterone may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and incidents like heart attack, stroke or death, and may also have adverse effects with respect to cancer. And just as a fan of a winning team may BIRG, he or she may also BIRD (bask in reflected depression) if his or her team loses. The hangover effect from a favorite team’s loss, especially after a big or heartbreaking one that ends a season, can have negative effects on mood and well-being for days, weeks, or even months. Just ask any still-reeling Seattle Seahawks fan about about the goal line play that decided last year’s Super Bowl. Or ask a Patriots fan how long it took to recover after having their dreams of a perfect season come to an end with a loss to the underdog New York Giants in the 2008 Super Bowl. Fans of these teams may very well have closed their blinds for days, and let dirty dishes pile to the ceiling while mourning the loss of their team. For passionate fans of losing teams, the struggle is very real. So do be careful who you root for and try to keep your fandom in proper perspective. After all, it is not only “just a game,” but also one that is being played by a group of strangers on a field or court hundreds or thousands of miles away.

NEWS BERN NOTICE

Santa Cruz County is going wild for Bernie Sanders

OCTOBER 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY ROSEANN HERNANDEZ

12

At a “Brews for Bernie” event, a life-size Bernie Sanders cutout greets a diverse crowd of enthusiastic supporters at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing. A merchandise table is stocked with “Feel the Bern” T-shirts, bumper stickers and pins. Around the patio, everyone has their own reasons for supporting Bernie Sanders as their candidate for the democratic nominee in the 2016 presidential race. “He’s humanizing politics,” says one attendee. “He’s not groomed. He’s authentic—and authenticity is something that American people like right now,” says another. “He’s not beholden to Wall Street,” says a woman with flowers in her hair. Bernie Sanders’ lack of a Super Pac and his staunch refusal to accept money from Wall Street interests is mentioned repeatedly. Over the course of the summer, it appears that Santa Cruz County’s electorate—of which 53 percent are registered Democrats, and 15 percent are Republicans—has fallen hard for the socialist senator from Vermont. There are still supporters of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, like Darrell and Karen Darling, who sat down with me in their landmark Darling House bed-and-breakfast. I found the Darlings after calling the Democratic Party of Santa Cruz and asking why there didn’t seem to be any high-profile shows of support for Clinton. Where, I wondered, are the people gathering at local establishments, planning debate-watching parties and crowding busy intersections waving signs for the Democratic frontrunner? “I know just the pair,” said the woman on the other end of the line. Longtime supporters of the Democratic Party, the Darlings have hosted a number of fundraisers and campaign events over the years at their beachside bed and breakfast for candidates including Clinton, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) and Mayor Don Lane. Hillary Clinton first met the couple during an event at the Darling House in the early 1990s, when they supported her husband’s initial run for the presidency. She later invited the couple to the White House. The Darling’s connection to the Clintons took a tragic turn when their >16

High-Level Policy New pot laws line up with county task force BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

A

brand new sweeping package of laws aims to transform California’s billion-dollar medical pot sector with a complex multi-agency system of testing and licensing. And it’s right in step with the action local government leaders and marijuana advocates are taking. “It’s perfect timing, actually,” says Colin Disheroon, who sits on a new committee for Santa Cruz County that had already discussed creating a local license program for the county. Although Disheroon doesn’t love every aspect of the new legislation, which Gov. Jerry Brown approved on Oct. 9, he says it provides the Cannabis Cultivation Choices Committee with a framework going forward.

Signed just two days before the deadline, the state laws will regulate the world’s largest cannabis industry two decades after California sanctioned marijuana as medicine and a year before possible outright legalization. Spurred by the threat of a ballot initiative to make California the fifth state allowing general adult use, the legislature introduced a trio of bills endorsed by law enforcement, the cannabis industry, labor unions, and local governments. The triple-joined bills AB 243, AB 266 and SB 643—if one passed, they all passed—marked the first time state lawmakers passed a pot policy since SB 420 in 2003 allowed patients and caregivers to form collectives.

Meanwhile, the county’s Cannabis Cultivation Choices Committee started meeting in September, in part, to balance the goals of law enforcement with those of neighbors and the planning department. Even many pot advocates have decried the environmental degradation happening in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The new state laws will give a framework to committee members for its new licensing program and other details. Colloquially nicknamed the C4 committee, the group aims to wrap up this year and present its findings to the Board of Supervisors. The state’s legislation will require operators to obtain a permit from their local governments. It also >14

set up 17 kinds of medical marijuana operational license types, allowing applicants to obtain no more than two. State Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) supported the overhaul and says licenses are an important step in legitimizing growers and dispensary owners trying to play by the rules. “The key to the licensing is what it represents. Some people say ‘Well, it’s bureaucracy and red tape,’” says Monning, who represents Santa Cruz County. “But it provides safety to the community, and predictability. A lot of cannabis operators want the regulation, because they want the legitimacy.” And for the first time, the industry, until now limited to nonprofit co-ops, can legally turn a profit. Weights and measures, labeling, safety, pesticides, and distribution will be strictly monitored. A new Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation run by a governor-appointed “weed czar” will oversee everything from growth to production, transport and sale. “This gives us enormous momentum,” says Dale Sky Jones, who leads the ReformCA initiative, a measure expected to rally some of the biggest pro-pot players. “We can finally start to undo some of the damage brought

upon us by the prohibition.” But for the immediate future, at least, not much will change. Many of the just-signed state rules won’t come into effect until 2018, and the details have yet to be crafted. They largely reaffirm local control and grandfather in existing ordinances. Since the state’s Compassionate Use Act legalized medical pot in 1996, the industry has been governed by a patchwork of local rules while remaining illegal under federal law. Following the passage of SB 420 in the early aughts, dispensaries and grows proliferated as cities and counties struggled to maintain order and oversight. Now some cities may re-think their bans, while the ones that allow dispensaries and grows under strict limitations will have to decide whether to tweak local rules in reaction to California’s inaugural marijuana bureaucracy. Under state policy, a collective up and running by this year can continue as is, although statewide licensure will eventually limit the number of large-cultivation ops. The state’s new regulatory plan has already incited legal challenges. The American Medical Marijuana Association (AMMA) claims that the new laws attempt to modify a voter initiative, Proposition 215,

which is expressly forbidden in California’s constitution. Specifically, the advocacy group takes issue with provisions that limit patients’ gardens to 100 square feet, require regular doctor recommendations and allow cities and counties to ban grows, storage, manufacturing, and delivery. “Our medical cannabis rights, protected for nearly 20 years by Prop. 215, have been hijacked, and Prop. 215 is under attack like never before,” AMMA Director Steve Kubby said in a statement announcing his intent to overturn the new regulatory scheme. “The new law is unacceptable.” Regardless of how things shake out in court, policymakers—given the raft of legalization initiatives jockeying for space on the 2016 ballot—have to consider how to lay the groundwork for a future recreational market. “We wrote our measure to complement what came out of the legislature,” Jones says. “We want it so that if you jump through hoops in the medical market, you qualify to participate in this parallel adult-use sector.” Reformers hope a 2016 ballot measure could pull support from the younger, progressive voters who tend to turn out for a presidential election.

As part of UCSC’s Data Science week, the first ever DataLex Conference brought together 26 speakers on Tuesday, Oct. 13, ranging from industry leaders to lawyers and scientists, to examine privacy, big data, and the surrounding laws. Keynote speaker Jim Dempsey, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, suggested privacy be re-defined in what he calls “the era of big data,” saying that big data radically challenges the framework of the Fair

Information Practice Principles (FIPP), guidelines establishing fair information practice in the electronic marketplace. Big data refers to information collected from electronic users to draw inferences about people, sometimes to make targeted ads. The FIPP requires companies to tell the consumer the specific purpose of collecting their data, and use limitations, in the terms and conditions, which are rarely read. “Pretty much everybody agrees that the notice and consent model doesn’t work,” says Dempsey. “We

all click ‘yes,’ we all sign off immediately without reading the terms.” New alternatives to the failed consent model include requiring the user to correctly answer a quiz in order to accept the terms and conditions, a method employed by Sage Bionetworks and Apple Researchkit, which have released several medical study apps. Travis LeBlanc, chief of the Bureau of Enforcement at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), shifted the conversation to data breaches and government interagency

collaborations in dealing with morphed communication and technology companies. “We have seen a disturbing increase in the number of data breaches that are taking place across the world,” LeBlanc said. “In 2012 there were about 28 million people who were affected by data breaches. In 2015 thus far, it looks like that number is about 150 million people.” The Office of Campus Council at UCSC plans to host a similar conference, focused on cyber security in the spring.

NO-PANDER SANDERS Bernie Sanders’ supporters see him as a man of integrity who speaks from the heart.

OCTOBER 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BERN NOTICE <12

youngest son Adam, then an aide to Bill Clinton’s Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, died in a plane crash over Croatia along with Brown and 33 others. Darrell Darling, now in his mid-70s, has put together a lifetime of activist politics, from the Civil Rights movement and anti-Vietnam War effort to fighting for prison reform. In the race, Sanders is the one getting attention for his liberal stance on progressive issues like health care, a topic where Clinton was once seen as a trailblazer for her efforts to get all Americans covered. Darling calls Sanders a man of “great integrity” and says he and his wife have supported past “alternate candidates” on a number of occasions, including anti-war presidential candidates like Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D-Minnesota) and Congressman John Anderson (D-Illinois). He puts Sanders in that alternate category, and feels that Clinton has a better shot in the general 2016 election against a Republican nominee. “There is a place for a strong showing by an alternative candidate that brings the party to its roots, and I think

Bernie Sanders does that,” Darling says. “But politics is about winning,” he adds. “And if you don’t win, you don’t shape public policy.” As of press time, Vice President Joe Biden, according to reports from Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, is mulling over a run and could announce his candidacy for the Democratic nod any minute now. The Democratic race also includes Sen. Jim Webb (D-Virginia), former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee. The Republican side has 15 candidates, with billionaire real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump leading the polls, followed by neurosurgeon Ben Carson and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida).

BERN, BABY Building on President Barack Obama’s success mobilizing a grassroots campaign, Bernie Sanders has taken it to a whole new level, using online technology and social media in clever ways to draw people to events and organize supporter communities. “The Bernie Sanders website has this incredible tool to allow any grassroots

organizer to post an event,” says Manuel Rivas, part of the Watsonville for Bernie Sanders contingent, at a watch party held last Tuesday at the Appleton Grill. With an enrapt crowd of about 50, it’s one of more than 4,000 parties held nationwide that night. With the average campaign contribution amount at just over $30, Bernie Sanders has raised more money than Barack Obama did at this point in his 2008 presidential primary race. Sanders’ website captures the breadth of grassroots support for the Vermont senator on a map of the United States, dotted with volunteer-run events—Brews for Bernie, Bike for Bernie, Honk for Bernie—the list goes on and on, around the nation, including in Santa Cruz County. The site makes it easy to track his campaign’s momentum. On July 28, for a coordinating day of campaigning, Sanders volunteers organized more than 3,000 grassroots gatherings in living rooms, coffee shops and union halls in all 50 states, with more than 82,000 people indicating they would take part. Shawn Orgel-Olson organized the local Brews for Bernie event, which drew upward

of 80 people. He says he aims to hold an event every two weeks, picking venues like local taprooms and the downtown Food Lounge, where he hosted a debatewatching party. “It is like back in the day when people would go to coffee shops and discuss politics – these are perfect venues for political discourse,” says Orgel-Olson, as we watch people laughing, drinking craft brews and discussing their candidate. Darling says that for Santa Cruz County, the time has come to support a woman candidate, like Clinton. He says politicians need to have a woman’s perspective on all issues—not just women’s issues. He also says that Sanders would probably be a good president, and that his presence on the campaign might pull Clinton to the left, something he’s happy about. “It’s really important to have a candidate who may or may not win the nomination but that represents the issues and positions on the left articulately and with integrity,” he says. “We are encouraged by that in this race.” Additional reporting contributed by Jacob Pierce.

industry will be to unite around a single initiative. Big donors have taken a wait-and-see approach, holding off on endorsing one of the several measures until proponents file final drafts. “If we lose at the ballot, it wouldn’t be because voters aren’t ready for legalization,” Jones says. “It would be because the activists couldn’t get their act together.” A spring survey by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) found that 56 percent of likely voters support legalizing marijuana for general use. It’s a narrow margin, but a tick up from the split poll when the issue last came to voters five years before. But success at the ballot, according to PPIC analyst Dean Bonner, will require proponents to make inroads among Latinos, Republicans and older voters. Given the range of support for the state’s new medical pot regulations—they drew endorsements from Democrats and Republicans, police and pot lobbyists—legalization has been recast as a bipartisan issue. There’s also greater depth to the conversation now compared to the failed legalization push in 2010, Jones adds. Proponents are talking about how to build an industry that welcomes women, minorities and nonviolent felons—the ones who bear the brunt of the prohibition but have been shut out under the state’s plan. Just as the Great Depression hastened the end of the alcohol prohibition, Proposition 19 in 2010 unsuccessfully tried to leverage the opportunity created by a global recession that emptied state coffers by marketing legalization as a way to rake in more revenue. Heading into 2016, Jones says, the message has evolved. “Thanks to the Black Lives Matter movement and a federal push for criminal justice reforms, the public is more informed about social inequities,” Jones says. “It adds weight to the conversation.” Additional reporting contributed by Jacob Pierce.

What’s In Store New Leaf Community Markets celebrates its 30th 30 0tth anniversary annive with a block party this weekend. Co-founder Coo-fo ounder and a president Scott Roseman talks about how ho ow h he set out to change the world, and the changes in his own life after New Leaf’s sale BY GEOFFREY DUNN 24, for Roseman, it marks a time for reflection. He can be modest about his accomplishments—from promoting locally grown organic produce to developing a cuttingedge approach for marketing sustainable seafood (named FishWise)—but on the national level, the industry has recognized his many innovations. Just last year he received the first-ever “Service to the Industry Award” presented by the Independent Natural Food Retailers Association. The award was given “in recognition of leadership and values that have a widespread impact on people’s lives in the independent natural products industry.” Certain things that are now taken for granted in the natural foods grocery business—a predominantly organic produce selection or rewarding customers with “Envirotokens” for using reusable bags—were originally developed at New Leaf by Roseman, his partners and his staff. Roseman also set a very high standard for community involvement during his tenure at New Leaf. Citing the influence of

his Jewish heritage, he has donated 10 percent of the organization’s profits to a variety of nonprofit community organizations, including the Santa Cruz AIDS Project, Second Harvest Food Bank, Volunteer Center, and the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group. He has also been engaged politically. In 1987, he co-founded the Progressive Business Network of Santa Cruz County, which served as a counterbalance to the then rigidly conservative Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce. Up until the sale to New Seasons, Roseman was an active promoter of Think Local First. “Buy Fresh—Buy Local” was a mantra of the New Leaf stores—and Roseman says it will continue to be so. “I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished in terms of setting a high bar for quality and for being on the cutting edge in respect to organic and natural food stores across the country,” Roseman says. “But there came a point where we felt the timing was right to sell. And we said yes.”

oseman and I enjoy a friendship that stretches back to the mid-1970s, back to when Santa Cruz was a much different place, before a global economy altered our dreams, our vision of the world, even our sense of the political—though, Roseman would argue, not our core values. Our lives have crisscrossed in numerous ways since then: we were both members of the radical Phoenix newspaper collective, a seminal alternative weekly in the region; we belonged to Our Neighborhood Food Co-Op, where we occasionally bagged cheese and tofu together or swept the floors; we worked on numerous political campaigns and forged a political alliance that has remained pretty much in place to this day; our kids briefly attended the same school; oh, and we both survived near-deadly bouts with cancer, though his battle happened earlier, so when my turn came, I leaned on him to help shine a lighted path toward survival. After nearly 40 years of friendship, however, we have never taken the time for a slow, unencumbered walk together. It’s a hot October afternoon and the two of us decide to stroll along East Cliff Drive and Pleasure Point, away from our work and the various pressures and challenges that often demand our attention. We talk first about our families and our health. Roseman has always been thoughtful and articulate, choosing his words carefully, usually with a smile on his face. If the world has changed considerably since we first met, his manner has remained remarkably constant. I know of a hidden nook off the Eastside cliffs, a special spot I have visited for decades when I’ve needed to be alone and clear my thoughts, to get a different perspective on life. He tells me that he’s never been there before, so we head down a path to a ledge very close to the water where no one can spot us. At least not anyone on land. There’s a huge southern swell, so surfers are everywhere, carving

up waves, and struggling their way out to distant sets on the horizon. There’s also an incredible potpourri of marine life—dolphins and whales, sea otters and sea lions, cormorants and pelicans. Roseman is a devout environmentalist—he has been ever since the day I first met him—and I explain to him that the scene before us didn’t exist here when I was a kid. The dolphin, sea otter and humpback populations had nearly been wiped out; ditto for the California brown pelican, nearly rendered extinct by DDT. “I guess in some ways we are doing a little better,” he says philosophically. “That’s hopeful.” He tells me that he recently participated in a Rosh Hashanah ritual at New Brighton State Beach with fellow members of the Temple Beth El. The gathering threw bread out into the ocean, and the nearby seagulls and then sooty shearwaters flocked in to feast. He is smiling that beatific smile of his as I imagine the scene. “It was amazing,” he says reverently. We shift topics and discuss the sale of New Leaf—a sale that has made him, if not quite rich, then more than likely “comfortable” for the rest of his life. There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask him about this afternoon, having watched the arc of his business career in its entirety and at relatively close range. “Back in the day,” I inquire, “when we were co-op members together, did you secretly have visions of being a supermarket mogul?” “Not at all,” he says in a measured tone. “I was thinking about a life in public policy, social action. Business was the furthest thing from my mind …” “But you always seemed to have a certain amount of ambition,” I note. “A lot of drive.” “I guess so,” he responds, still smiling. “I wanted to change the world.”

<22 including a stint as a taxi driver. The lure of California caught hold of him. He switched majors to sociology, then a cauldron of radical social theory, but with a practical component as well. Unlike at Binghamton, where he felt alienated from the faculty, his fires were lit at Santa Cruz by professors like Alan Wolfe, Pam Roby, Jim Mulherin, Bill Domhoff, Jim O’Connor, and Mike Rotkin, the latter of whom first ran successfully (as a socialist-feminist, with Bruce Van Allen) for Santa Cruz City Council in 1979. After a short stint working as a probation aide (“a real eye opener”), Roseman took a job with the Alternative Energy Co-op, where he eventually produced a small, alternative publication called the Alternative Energy News, which he published in conjunction with the Phoenix collective. “This idealistic leftist radical was now running a publication that needed financial support from the business community,” he notes with a bit of irony, “and I began to learn to run— and grow—a business, which I got pretty darn good at.” All the while, Roseman kept doing his time at the Food Co-Op. Eventually, he was hired there in mid-1981 as a “floor coordinator,” which meant that he did everything—stocking, cleaning, cashiering, and coordinating volunteers, which, from my vantage point at least, seemed a bit like herding cats. Soon he took over the produce section—which he admits to “knowing nothing about at the time”—and soon it was transformed. After that, he moved into different areas (dairy, the deli, frozen foods) gathering information and experience that would serve him in the years ahead.

I

n the summer of 1984, Roseman was experiencing more than his share of frustrations at the Co-Op. There were tensions between those committed to upgrading the service and quality of food and those who took a more laissez-faire attitude toward their employment.

of an East Coast edge to his speech patterns and cultural sensibilities. Born in the winter of 1956 at Mount Sinai Hospital overlooking Central Park in Manhattan, he was raised in the shadows of New York City on Long Island, first in Bellmore, then in Rockville Centre, about 30 miles from the heart of the city. He grew up a sports fan, and he loved the New York teams—the Mets, the Jets and the Nets—at a time when sports teams in the Big Apple shaped the identities of a generation. I have a way of testing real Mets fans from that era by asking them who played third base on the 1969 World Championship team. Roseman didn’t hesitate for a second: “Ed Charles!” he says with a smile. Roseman and his father had season tickets to Jets games, too, in the chilling reaches of the upper deck at Shea Stadium, and he is quick to rattle off the starting backfield of the Jets’ Super Bowl championship team. But his big love is basketball (he was a Julius Erving fan), which he still plays competitively at the age of 59 and with a profound reverence for the game. Roseman’s mother, Marilyn, was a junior high-school teacher; his father, Norman, who died in 1990, was in the “creative side” of advertising, mainly “direct response advertising,” Roseman explains, starting with magazines and “then shifting to those obnoxious late-night TV ads” that populated television in the 1960s and ’70s. He later developed a publication called Soap Opera Digest. After high school, Roseman headed off to the State University of New York, Binghamton, then a hotbed of radical politics. He majored in political science, but was put off by the “strident, angry” tenor of the political activity on campus. “I had liberal leanings, even as a teenager, though not necessarily radical,” he recalls. “I was actually pretty turned off to radical left politics at Binghamton.” Following his junior year he left college for New York City, where he worked at a variety of odd jobs,

<25 He had scheduled a road trip with his dad to Canada—the first time just the two of them had planned a trip together—when his health took a spiral. He was feeling run down and couldn’t seem to shake a nasty cold. Finally, he went to Stanford for some tests. A few days later, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He was 28 years old. Roseman immediately began an intense regimen of chemotherapy. Roseman’s body was so riddled with cancer cells that following his first chemo treatment he nearly died from the overload of dead cells that his body was struggling to discharge. But the good news was that his leukemia was responsive to treatment. A month later, his bone marrow was cancer-free. And while his chemo regimen lasted for more than a year, he soon turned his mind to other matters. I had been living in Italy for much of this period, and didn’t learn about Roseman’s diagnosis until coming back to the U.S. I have a very vivid memory of running into him on the street upon my return in 1985, when he told me about his leukemia battle, and, in what seemed like the same sentence, that he was buying out the Co-Op of its assets and getting ready to open the Westside Community Market. He seemed incredibly healthy and vital for someone who had just gone through a near-fatal battle with cancer. Roseman borrowed some money from his folks, negotiated an assetsonly deal with the Co-Op’s board of directors for some equipment and remaining inventory, and on Oct. 19 of 1985, the Co-Op shut down. On the following day—30 years ago this Saturday—Roseman’s Westside Community Market opened. Roseman hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back since. He was committed to organic produce and to the healthier food choices that the natural foods movement offered. He was also committed to working with local farmers and local producers years before that became the trendy thing to do. And he implemented one of the first sustainable seafood programs in the country.

He was changing the world—one display case at a time.

R

oseman realizes now that his father’s entrepreneurial spirit provided some guidance for him (and “some big shoes to fill”), but his only business training had come on-the-job, gleaning what he could from his stints at the Energy and Neighborhood Food co-ops. In essence, he got his MBA from the streets. Roseman established himself as a creative, sensitive and communityoriented business person from the get-go. He had read Michael Phillips’ book Honest Business, which had a profound influence on him. Phillips advocated for things like sharing financial information with staff, giving back to the community, and paying bills on time, as well as having fun and enjoying one’s business—all of which New Leaf has done throughout the years. In the late 1980s, Roseman met Rex Stewart and Chris Quinn, then serving as consultants to natural food stores across the country, and invited them to become partners as he contemplated his first significant expansion—from the original warehouse on Ingalls Street to a new, 7,000-square-foot market in a small shopping center on Mission Street. The partnership—along with the move and a commitment to growing the business—facilitated a change in the name of the business as well, to New Leaf Community Markets (Roseman credits Stewart with coming up with the new name), which they adopted at their opening on Mission Street in May of 1990. Then came a relatively rapid succession of new stores: first, Felton, in early 1993 (which is actually owned by Bob Locatelli and licensed by New Leaf); Capitola (on 41st Avenue) in October of 1993; then, in 1996, they made a signature move to the old Bank of Italy building on Pacific Avenue that had been vacant since the October 1989 earthquake. “While New Leaf was known in the community of folks who shopped organic and natural

Great care and attention from all staff. The doctor was very thorough in explaining the procedure and how my pup did. The price was a bit steep for me but the quality of care was great. I could have price compared around but didn’t really have time.

WHAT'S IN STORE <26 Roseman) negotiated a creative string of financing involving four banks—the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union, Santa Cruz County Bank, Global Trust, and, with a final nudge from then vice-president and loan officer Jill Hitchman, Liberty Bank in Boulder Creek. The new Westside store eventually opened in March of 2009. While Roseman and his partners navigated successfully through the crisis—many of those in local financial circles considered it nothing short of “a miracle”— they were still in hot pursuit of additional expansion capital. In 2012, they opened another store in the Evergreen section of San Jose, and then in Pleasanton the following year. They seemed to be on another roll.

foods, it was not until we opened the store on Pacific that New Leaf really made its mark,” Roseman observed. “This location put us on the map.” In 1998, Locatelli opened the fifth New Leaf location in Boulder Creek. Location has always factored significantly in New Leaf’s varied decisions to expand. Roseman & Co. continued to have an eye on regional growth, but the stars didn’t realign for another decade. In the mid-2000s, they opened a new store at an abandoned Albertson’s in Half Moon Bay, embarked on a significant remodel of their downtown location,

hroughout our walk, I wondered if Roseman might have some mixed feelings about the sale to New Seasons. A few years ago, he told me that he had been looking for investment capital to continue New Leaf’s expansion into various Bay Area markets, and he seemed enthusiastic, if not excited, about pursuing his economic vision and expanding the New Leaf brand. I asked him what had changed his mind? In fact, they hadn’t been looking to sell, but were seeking an influx of “investment capital to help grow the business.” New Seasons made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, Roseman says, merging New Leaf with a “very similar community-oriented natural foods retailer that would ensure the legacy of New Leaf.” It provided an exit strategy for leaving their business in good hands. That legacy clearly matters to Roseman. New Leaf has been on the cutting edge of natural food grocers since its inception, and Roseman has become a national figure in the movement. One of the roles he has accepted as part of the deal is serving on New Season’s board of directors. It’s a place where he can continue to exert his influence and to foster his political and social

vision. Part of the deal with New Seasons allowed Roseman to hold on to his management position within New Leaf for two years. He’s now done with that particular tour of duty. “I’ve pretty much finished with my everyday work,” he says, “though I am still working on a couple of projects, and I’ll continue to serve on the New Seasons board ongoing, though I don’t go to the office anymore.” Instead, he’s working on his golf game. “I wish it were better,” he says with a chuckle. All the same, he admits that it’s been a little tough to let go. “I don’t miss all the headaches of running the business on a day-to-day basis,” he concedes. “But, I do miss hanging out with the wonderful people who make up New Leaf. At the same time, I am staying connected. I am staying on the company’s board, and I’ll continue to do the fun stuff, like being a part of our 30th Anniversary Party next Saturday.” Roseman is mostly looking forward to spending more time with his family—he has been married to Jasmine Berke since 2000, and they have an extended family of children, stepchildren and grandchildren with whom they share their lives. “I look forward to watching them grow and experiencing how they shape their futures,” he says. He’s also assuming a position on Jacob’s Heart board of directors, and has agreed to serve as the next president of the board at Temple Beth El, beginning next July. He hints at fostering new start-ups and mentoring young business people. “I like to think I’m going to try and slow down a little bit,” he declares, though not quite convincingly. “But that’s probably not really me.” Probably not. I get the strong sense that he still wants to change the world.

A

s Santa Cruz rolled its alternative way into the 1980s, artistic nonprofits began to sprout up like psilocybin mushrooms. Always at the edge of our avant-garde inner circle is musician/composer Phil Collins, who, for the past 36 years, has probed, pushed and exploded as many musical cliches as he could find.

HOT TICKET

Collins’ most enduring and provocative nonprofit endeavor—New Music Works—continues to take no prisoners, as it launches into its 37th season with an all-new Night of the Living Composers. Irreverent yet utterly serious, this neverboring music/theater showcase for eight regional composers promises electrifying and electronic musical

magic, including a world premiere String Quartet by Michael McGushin and line-dancing to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Lanky music maverick Collins, like many touched with genius, appears to inhabit three planets at once. Always peering into a future most of us can’t even imagine, Collins and his off-kilter grin never

rest, especially now that the New York-based Ratajova Publishing is inhaling all the guitar music Collins can compose. His repertoire over the years has ranged from atonal and gamelan variations, to cabaret, baroque and a jazzy hint of klezmer. All of the above come into play in the current season’s “Beyond Borders” theme.

“Music has always operated as a social enabler and unifier. Music is what we share. It is inherently cohesive.” — Phil Collins has composed real-time musical responses that will be performed live, simultaneously with Cowart’s electronic artistry. Some strands of avant-garde music lead in that direction, and Collins continues to ride point in that territory. Musical from early childhood, Collins recalls sitting as a kid, drawing, under the piano played by his mother. “My mother believed in me,” he says. Yet like all composers, Collins’ path has been one of struggle. “I was studying at SF State and UC Berkeley, and I made my living playing guitar in Herbert Mim’s band in San Francisco,” he says. “But my friends were here in Santa Cruz. And Lou Harrison was here.” So in 1975 Collins came here, too, introduced himself to Harrison, whose work had demonstrated that “you could have dissonance and beauty in music.” The relationship took. Employed by Harrison to copy the celebrated composer’s music “from pencil to ink,” Collins says he lived in the woods and finally began to be a composer on his own. Seeking the company of others—“I was getting too obscure”—he and four fellow musicians formed New Music Works to perform their own music together. “Lou wrote a piece for me,” he says. In the meantime, Collins studied conducting with Nicole Paiement and took an M.A. in Music from UCSC. After the first NMW concert, Collins recalls being so in debt that he started teaching, which he continues to do at Hartnell and Cabrillo colleges. Tireless in his vision to expand the audience for new music, Collins admits “the network is everything in this business—everyone knows someone,” he grins. That network has powered Phil Collins’ life as a conductor, composer and performer—and shows no sign of letting up. New Music Works: Night of the Living Composers is at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, Samper Recital Hall, Cabrillo College. See NMW Facebook page for details.

“It started with teaching world music,” Collins says, seated in front of his 9-foot Steinway grand piano, which is wedged between the kitchen table, a wall of digital sound equipment and the late Lou Harrison’s celeste. “Whereas western music today seems to be trying to impress,” he says with a grin, “this music is emotionally informed right away,” he says of the upcoming exploration of the Middle Eastern roots of contemporary music. For the New Music Works 2015-16 season, Collins brings in guest artists such as Israeli vocalist Etty BenZaken, composer Eitan Steinberg, and pianist Kate Campbell, to explore contemporary music from Morocco, Israel, Lebanon, and Turkey. “Music has always operated as a social enabler and unifier,” the NMW conductor explains. “Music is what we share. It is inherently cohesive.” Infamous for positioning genres onto collision courses for maximum playful tension, Collins happily acknowledges his own inspirational debt to pioneer musical fusionist Lou Harrison, and his epiphanies thanks to Phillip Glass—who “spoke above the herd, and yet beautifully in a baroque way.” When he composes, Collins is admittedly “tortured.” “I walk and I sit. I go to the piano to test an idea. Then it goes into Finale software,” says Collins, who contends that, “software programs allow lots of junk to be easily produced.” Yet computer manipulation of sounds, harmonies and timing can also kick-start an infinity of compositional options. “Listen to this,” he commands playfully, clicking on a remote control. I hear a shimmering wall of sound that gradually gathers and morphs into subtle tonalities. Is it Brian Eno? “That’s Handel,” Collins reveals triumphantly. Somehow a slowed and stretched electronic riff of Handel’s Water Music popped out of composer Steed Cowart’s musical inventions, and for the season-opening concert, Collins

Sarah Vowell puts her unique spin on an obscure piece of American history BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

S

arah Vowell is the American history teacher we all wish we’d had. Slightly sardonic, often hilarious, and deeply sympathetic, she guides us into the thick of the past with tongue in cheek and quip at the ready, pointing out ironic connections, wandering down fascinating side roads, and offering up delectably obscure facts with the cheerful assurance that they are indeed better than fiction. “I do love a tangent,” she tells me, “and a fun fact.” When asked about her skills as a storyteller, she prefers the word lore. “I like layers

of lore. I’m a lore archaeologist.” We’ve traveled with her on pilgrimages to presidential assassination sites in Assassination Vacation, to Puritan colonies in Massachusetts in Wordy Shipmates, and to the shores of American imperialist intervention in Hawaii in Unfamiliar Fishes. We’ve laughed with her as a regular guest on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, and This American Life. We’ve even related to her teen angst as the perfectly cast Violet Parr, the shy teenager in the Pixar animated film, The Incredibles. In her new book, Lafayette in

the Somewhat United States, the inimitable Sarah Vowell tells the swashbuckling tale of an orphaned French aristocrat who arrived in Philadelphia in 1777, at all of nineteen, to serve the American cause. Because of his passion for American liberty, as well as his high rank within French nobility, not to mention (perhaps most importantly) his willingness to serve without pay, the Marquis de Lafayette was promptly commissioned as a Major General. He turned out to be a skilled and brave soldier, who befriended George Washington, was wounded in battle at Brandywine, led the

liberation of Virginia, and suffered through a winter at Valley Forge. He even rode a white horse. “The book was a few years in the making,” says Vowell. “It stemmed from a piece I wrote about Lafayette’s return trip to the U.S. in 1824, when three quarters of New York City turned out to cheer him. I started researching that trip, and realized how much affection we used to have for him. For so long in our history, to Americans, Lafayette was France, and France was our great ally.” She wrote the book, at least in part, to highlight the importance of that alliance. “The United States could not have won the revolutionary war without French help – their money, their soldiers and sailors, their equipment and gunpowder. Lafayette is just the most charismatic symbol of that,” she says. And the symbol remains, lingering in the American towns named after him – there are three in Wisconsin alone – but Vowell reminds us how real the stakes were in 1781, when Washington sent Lafayette to Yorktown. There, the 23-yearold general fielded a campaign that would culminate in British defeat six months later. “It was the most conclusive battle of the American revolution,” Vowell says, “and the great triumph of the FrancoAmerican alliance. There were more French soldiers and sailors who fought at Yorktown than Americans.” And she lays out perhaps our most poignant response, over 100 years later, in the twilight of World War I. “When General Pershing’s allied expeditionary forces marched into Paris in 1914, they went straight to Lafayette’s grave, where one of them said, “Lafayette, we are here.” Depsite her popularity and prolific output, for all her obsessive curiosity and sharp delivery, Vowell herself remains an enigma. “What I am is moody,” she says. “I can’t stay in a jokey mood forever, and I can’t stay in a sad mood forever. I’m just constantly … I’m the weather.” Info: 7 p.m., Oct. 24, Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz; free.

By Datta Khalsa, Broker There has been a growing trend in the Bay area for people to resist buying or selling a home. Instead, more people are opting to combine forces or expand the living options at their existing home, in the midst of spiraling real estate prices. Statistically, allowing higher density helps lower the cost of living, and this has led local government planners to explore loosening regulations on accessory dwelling units, commonly known as ADUs, or “granny units.” Under the County’s Permit Modernization Program, it has been proposed that habitable accessory structures in urban areas not require a discretionary permit if they are within the zoning district height limits, and outside urban areas they are looking to allow ADUs up to 1,000 SF and 28’ height without discretionary review. The code currently requires a public hearing to exceed 640 SF or 17’ in height. The program includes a proposal to allow toilets, showers or bathtubs with a simple building permit in non-habitable accessory structures, and in rural areas there is talk of allowing shipping containers to be used as residential accessory structures, subject to ordinary site standards for stick-built construction, all in the name of making housing options more accessible.

That said, those costs can still be considerable: construction alone typically runs around $250 per SF in this county and permit costs will run close to $20,000. There will also be costs to upgrade existing sewer or septic service, including an additional water meter which can run up to $30,000, depending on the district. With these kinds of expenses, care should be taken not to over-improve the property. If you are considering this kind of a move (or non-move), it is good to have a full understanding of all your options, because between costs of construction and tax codes like Prop 60 which allows seniors to transfer their tax base, it could be that a move is still your best move. As always, it is a good idea to have someone on your side to assure you the best possible chances of making the right choice. Datta Khalsa is the broker and owner at Main Street Realtors in Soquel.

A few sub-themes have come to light in the midst of this trend, including emerging numbers of older homeowners who would prefer to age in place at their homes, attended to by a resident caregiver or family members who can live in an ADU, instead of moving to a managed care facility. For other families with grown children who can’t afford to buy a home of their own, it can make sense to build a home on the parents’ property and just have to cover the cost of construction and permits.

CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY Chucho Valdés, founder of Irakere, celebrates the 40th anniversary

of the groundbreaking band’s creation on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at the Rio.

Have a Cigar Chucho Valdés celebrates 40 years of his influential Cuban band Irakere at Santa Cruz show BY ANDREW GILBERT

OCTOBER 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

hucho Valdés wants to set the record straight. “I didn’t help create Irakere,” says the Cuban pianist and composer, referring to the seminal jazz ensemble that came together in Havana in 1973. “I did create Irakere.” While in recent years he hasn’t been involved with the band he founded with drummer Armando de Sequeira Romeu, reed master Paquito D’Rivera and powerhouse trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, Valdés has been at the forefront of celebrating its 40th anniversary. He’s releasing a new album Tribute to Irakere (Live at Marciac) in conjunction with a U.S. tour with a blazing multi-generation band that will come to the Rio Theatre on Tuesday, followed by a four-night run at the SFJAZZ Center. The contemporary jazz scene has absorbed so many of Irakere’s innovations that it can be hard to understand the expansive nature

of the band’s revolutionary sound. The approach didn’t come together all at once, but Valdés says that with his suite “Misa Negra” (“Black Mass”), Irakere perfected its protean synthesis of chants and rhythms drawn from sacred Afro-Cuban Lacumi ritual, advanced post-bop harmonies and jazz-rock fusion. “At the beginning we made a lot of mistakes, but in the end we reached the place we wanted to reach,” Valdés says, speaking from Havana through an interpreter. “It was a very personal concept of what Cuban jazz should sound like.” While many of his fellow musicians embraced the revolutionary sound, the Cuban government felt that mixing musical styles from the U.S. with traditional Cuban forms amounted to fraternizing with the enemy, and the Communist cultural bureaucracy did what it could to minimize Irakere’s overt American

influences. The government backed off when the group quickly attained iconic status, but the career and political restrictions of Cuban life eventually took a toll on the band. D’Rivera defected to the U.S. in 1980, and Sandoval left Irakere to found his own band in 1981, leaving Valdés to recruit a new generation of players. Cuban/U.S. cold-war relations mostly locked Irakere out of the U.S. for decades, which meant that Valdés was more revered than seen here until 1997, when trumpeter Roy Hargrove reintroduced him to American audiences while touring widely following the release of his Grammy-winning album Habana. Signed to Blue Note, Valdés started releasing a series of ever more astonishing albums, starting with 1998’s Bele Bele En La Havana. In many ways, he’s been fulfilling his destiny as a musical bridge. His father, who died in 2013 at the age

of 94, was the legendary pianist Bebo Valdés, one of Havana’s most important bandleaders before the 1959 revolution. Chucho was still a teenager when he took over the piano chair in his father’s groundbreaking orchestra, a group that often accompanied visiting American jazz musicians. “So I learned a lot about jazz as a child, and a lot about African music because it was played all the time in my house,” says Valdés, who now lives in Málaga in southern Spain. Quickly gaining recognition as the most formidable pianist of his generation, Valdés recorded two albums for RCA Victor at the age of 18. His reputation spread while working with the Elio Reve Orquesta in the mid-60s, and by the end of the decade, Valdés was writing extended compositions, paying particular attention to sacred Afro-Cuban chants and rhythms. In a twist of history, Valdés explains how Cuba’s extravagant rhythmic riches stem from Spain’s mistaken belief that the island contained hidden veins of gold, which led the empire to import a huge number of slaves from across Africa. “They came from Congo and Nigeria with their culture and rhythms, the Bantu and the Dahomey, so a rich cultural and rhythmic world accumulated, a culture that probably doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world,” Valdés says. “And the Spaniards had the Arab and Moorish influence, too.” More than his fearsome technical prowess, what makes Valdés an epochal figure is the seamless way he embraces the musical heritage of the three continents. While completely capable of evoking jazz masters such as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner, and fluently conversant with the European classical canon, Valdés treats the piano like a finely calibrated drum, summoning the rhythmic and spiritual riches of Africa. While his influence has spread around the world, Valdés knows he’s still got a lot to teach. “There are some aspects that other generations have not grasped,” Valdés says.

With so many diets available to choose from, it has become very hard for people to decide which one is best for them. We often have our dieters say that they have tried so many of them all to no avail. They may lose the weight but only to find that they put it right back on. This is largely due to the fact that the weight they lost was muscle not fat. What kind of weight a dieter loses is absolutely crucial in their ability to keep the weight off.

Don’t Boss the Boss! My good friend at a high quality geriatric management ďŹ rm here in Santa Cruz told me this: “Don’t boss the boss!â€? She could not have been more correct. One thing I have learned: no one perceives themselves as old. A director at a senior residential community in Monterey told this story: “Ruth came to every open house for seven years, since she was 82. She chatted and smiled, knew all the staff, gushed over the lovely lunch and dining room but she never made a move to sell her house and move in. He ďŹ nally asked her, “Ruth, you come every year but you don’t join the community. Why?â€? Ruth leaned in close and whispered in his ear, “too many old people!â€? This is so common. And lord help you if you try to boss, coerce, atter, or even coax one of these elders into doing something they don’t want to do, or worse, tell them HOW to do something! You will get a reaction. Even if you are right, you will be wrong. There are better ways to get a strong-willed elder to help themselves or let you help. Think ďŹ nesse not force. Stay tuned for more on ways to make your life smoother as a caregiver while granting that elder respect and happiness.

LOCAL BAND

NOMALAKADOJA Nomalakadoja’s name is quite a mouthful. It’s pronounced “NO-malack-a-DO-ja.” Don’t worry if you’ve never heard it before—the members of the band made it up. Actually, it slipped out of one of its member’s mouths while freestyling along to an Outkast record. They liked it so much they named the band after it and gave it the definition “feel-good vibe.” “You don’t really experience nomalakadoja until you see what it’s like being at one of our live shows, and the good vibes going around. That’s really what it’s all about,” says guitarist/ singer Spencer Vantress. The four-piece plays a laid-back, uplifting variation of reggae that also has surf and rock influences. More than any of the musical influences, they feel the most important thing is that the music has nomalakadoja.

OCTOBER 21-27, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“The guitar solos are cruisy, and hit the notes that bring a smile to your face. It’s not so classic-rock-oriented. It’s more island vibes. Mainly what it’s all about is getting people out there dancing and smiling and mixing it up with people they don’t normally hang out with. Have fun, dance and get some exercise,” Vantress says.

44

The group started out doing reggae jams and covers at Pono Hawaiian Grill in 2013, and solidified into a proper band with originals that plays all the local clubs. The good vibes spread into everything they do, including the lyrics. They have one song called “Happy,” which describes a nice day hanging out in Santa Cruz and feeling good. “It basically explains our lifestyle, and it’s a representation of what we’re about,” Vantress says. “Mainly what’s brought us together is the love and the unity, and that’s what we’re preaching. That’s what we’re sharing with everyone. That goes right along with reggae.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-4135.

DRUHA TRAVA

WEDNESDAY 10/21 ROCK

I AM THE ALBATROSS Imagine a young roots band hanging out in a barn somewhere picking songs about whiskey, times gone by, being lonesome, and the rain coming down. Now, imagine that you gave them all electric instruments, played them Slayer and Black Sabbath, and left them with some mind-altering substances. You’re now in the general direction of I Am the Albatross. Hailing from Austin, Texas, this band melds old-time American folk with metal, psych, gothic, and psych-rock to create a headbang-worthy, tripped-out and tuned-in sound. Also on the bill: Rat King, and Joan and the Rivers. CAT JOHNSON

’60s, when traditional bluegrass gained popularity in the Czech Republic and local musicians attempted to copy the sound, but couldn’t help bring their own (very different) Czech sounds into the mix. It’s a truly fascinating transcontinental genre of music that has been around long enough that it’s already had multiple waves. Druha Trava is one of the most popular groups of the “Neo-Traditional” Czech-bluegrass scene, starting in 1991. They are harkening back to the roots of their music, which, to an American audience, is still a very exotic, ethereal, moody take on bluegrass. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 603-2294.

FRIDAY 10/23 BLUEGRASS

INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

POOR MAN’S WHISKEY

THURSDAY 10/22

Since 2003, Poor Man’s Whiskey has been slinging its own brand of outlaw country with a shooter of bluegrass to audiences across the nation. You probably won’t hear this five-piece Northern California band on today’s Country Radio, and that’s OK, because the stuff coming from Nashville is too

CZECH-BLUEGRASS

DRUHA TRAVA Czech-bluegrass is an actual subgenre of bluegrass that reaches back to the

soft, anyway. Poor Man’s Whiskey is only for those who can handle the tragedies of life, the loneliness of the road, and keep on sharing a smile after a shot of moonshine because it’s just what the doctor ordered. They’re currently touring off their seventh full-length album, Whiskey Under The Bridge, and will be doing two sets at Moe’s Alley: one of original material and a second covering Paul Simon’s iconic Graceland album. They will be joined by Diego’s Umbrella, who are celebrating the release of their Songs for Juerga album. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

JAZZ

THE NEW FLAMINGO SWING ORCHESTRA This bird has logged quite a few miles since its first residency at the Playboy Club in Century City in the mid-1980s, but when saxophonist/arranger Richard Fenno moved back to Santa Cruz a few years ago he revived his New Flamingo Swing Orchestra and found a comfortable perch at Bocci’s Cellar. The band’s name stems from Fenno’s stint on the road with Duke Ellington

vocalist Herb Jeffries, who always had to deliver his 1939 hit “Flamingo.” Fenno has honed a large book of charts that include originals and his versions of arrangements by some of the best in the business (including his father, Dick Fenno). ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 5:30 p.m. Bocci’s Cellar, 140 Encinal St., Santa Cruz. $5. 427-1795.

FOLK

IRIS DEMENT Iris DeMent is a quiet treasure of American folk music. With an immediately recognizable voice and a willingness to explore a depth of emotion, from the praise of “Let the Mystery Be” to the dark innocence of “The Night I Learned How Not to Pray,” DeMent is one of the finest singer-songwriters around. She’s also a less-is-more artist. Before her 2012 album, Sing the Delta, it had been eight years since 2004’s Lifeline. On her new release, The Trackless Woods, DeMent puts to music the poems of Russian modernist poet Anna Akhmatova. Also on the bill: singer-songwriter Pieta Brown. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Inner Light Center, 5630 Soquel Drive, Soquel. $30/gen, $40/gold. 479-9421.

BE NATURAL MUSIC FUNDRAISER This Saturday, the Felton venue will host the Be Natural Music Fundraiser, an all-day, youth-oriented event featuring live music, raffles with big prizes and even a costume contest. Proceeds will benefit the Be Natural Music Scholarship Program, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to kids in music programs. The fundraiser features several teen and pre-teen rock bands formed by Be Natural Music including Neon Roses, Not My Fault and Diamond Wire. MW INFO: 1 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $7. 603-2294.

SUNDAY 10/25 FOLK-ROCK

AMY OBENSKI Playing what she describes as “ethereal downtempo folk-rock,” local singer-songwriter Amy Obenski stretches the range of folk, adding live looping, solid piano chops, a band that can hold down a catchy groove, and smart pop

sensibilities to her songs. She’s started recording a new album, the follow-up to last year’s fantastically arranged and thoughtfully delivered Restless. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

MONDAY 10/26 SOUL

THE INTERNET Let’s be honest, the Internet is kind of a bad name (and, ironically, impossible to Google with any accuracy), but man, they are one hot, young soul band. The group consists of Odd Future producer Syd Bennett—who steps into the limelight as the group’s sultry lead singer—and Jet Age of Tomorrow producer Matt Martians, along with a full touring band. They’ve grown over the course of three albums, and have really come together on their latest record, Ego Death, combining laid-back hip-hop beats with jazzy, future funk grooves. Bennett keeps it understated with her smooth but passionate voice. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15/adv, $20/door. 429-4135.

INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. $27-$72. 426-6966. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the performance.

Existential Worlds, the second offering in the current Santa Cruz Symphony season, is a “contrast of internal and exterior worlds.” The program features Clair de Lune, perhaps the most well-known of all of Debussy’s music; Schubert’s Unfinished 8th Symphony; Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No. 1, featuring Klein Competition Grand Prize winner Zlatomir Fung (pictured), and Arturo Márquez’s “fiery and soulful” Danzón No. 2, a piece that brought the composer international attention.

T

he word “inspirational” is highly overused. It’s come to denote an entire subgenre of books and movies, mostly devoted to Christian themes or underdog sports stories. But for real-life inspiration of jaw-dropping proportions, look no further than Malala Yousafzai, the teenage Pakistani schoolgirl who spoke out for the rights of girls to be educated, nearly paid with her life when she was shot in the face by the Taliban, and survived to continue her work on behalf of women’s rights around the globe. In 2014, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace—at age 17. The amazing story-so-far of this incredibly poised young woman and her family is told in the moving, informative documentary He Named Me Malala. Filmmaker Davis

Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) chooses this title for a good reason: the “He” refers to Malala’s father, schoolteacher and activist Ziauddin Yousafzai, who is revealed to be an influence and inspiration for his daughter. But as Malala points out in the film, “He named me Malala, but he didn’t make me Malala.” Guggenheim’s film is the fascinating story of Malala inventing herself. Let’s start with that name. In a voice-over, accompanied by lovely, animated pastel images (which are used throughout the film), Malala tells the story of her namesake, a legendary 19th Century heroine from Afghanistan called Malalai. When the Afghani troops were in flight from invading British forces, Malalai climbed a hill above the battlefield and rallied the troops, crying “It’s

better to live one day as a lion than spend the rest of your life as a slave.” The Afghani troops turned and fought the invaders, but Malalai was shot and killed. Although he couldn’t know how closely his daughter’s fate would mirror her namesake’s, Malala’s father gave her a name to inspire courage—which she would need as a girl in search of learning. As the Taliban chokehold tightened on the village of Swat, where the Yousafzai family lived, a fearbased society where education in general was suspect, and considered unnecessary (if not downright subversive) for girls, simply going to school was a radical action. Despite Taliban intimidation (schools and police stations bombed; people shot; books, music and

computers burned) Malala spoke out for the rights of girls to be educated, not only in her community, but also in a series of impassioned essays she posted to the blog of a BBC reporter that gained worldwide attention. After the shooting, Malala and her parents and two brothers were removed to a new life in Birmingham, England. She now combines schoolwork, hanging out with her girlfriends, and teaching her dad how to Tweet, with visiting schoolgirls in Africa, greeting Syrian refugees at the Jordan border, addressing the U.N., appearing on The Daily Show, and meeting with President Obama and Queen Elizabeth of England. Warm and wryly humorous at home with her family, Malala’s belief in education never flags. “Let us pick up our books,” she advocates. “They are our most powerful weapons.” While the Taliban is an extreme example, Guggenheim suggests how deeply the oppression of women is ingrained into cultural traditions. Men on the street (and at least one woman) back in Swat try to downplay Malala’s fame in the west and her message. In Britain, when her own kid brother is asked by the filmmaker what girls should do if they don’t go to school, he grins and shrugs, and says, “clean dishes and buy things for people.” Malala wistfully tells the story of her own mother, whose enlightened father allowed her to go to the village school. But she felt so selfconscious as the only girl there, she sold her books for candy and never went back. Ziauddin Yousafzai shows us an embroidered family tree that goes back 300 years, but does not include the name of one single woman. Asked who shot Malala, her father says, “It was not a person; it was an ideology.” Malala agrees that Taliban terrorism “is not about (Islamic) faith. It’s about power.” It’s her determination to speak truth to power that makes Malala’s story, as told in this quietly powerful film, such a genuine inspiration. HE NAMED ME MALALA **** (out of four) With Malala Yousafzai and Ziauddin Yousafzai. A film by Davis Guggenheim. A Fox Searchlight release. Rated PG. 95 minutes.

Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl co-star. (NR) 100 minutes.

So, he puts an unconscious Zooey Deschanel on a plane to Afghanistan, ends up handcuffed to a bed wearing a blonde wig and diapers, meets his muse in Kate Hudson, hears a magical voice in the Afghani winds and finds the girl behind it. Plus Bruce Willis and Danny McBride. Need we say more? Barry Levinson directs. Bill Murray, Leem Lubany, Zooey Deschanel co-star. (R) 100 minutes.

STEVE JOBS “Musicians play their instruments, I play the orchestra,” says Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs—and play it he did, even posthumously, as it seems Hollywood decided that 2015 is the year of the Steve Jobs biopic. At least this one’s got Aaron Sorkin’s genius behind it with Michael Fassbender and Seth Rogen at the helm playing Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, respectively. Aaron Sorkin told the new Daily Show that the man behind the legend simply was human. Whether or not he was an exceptionally douchey one is up to interpretation. Danny Boyle directs. Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen co-star. (R) 122 minutes.

NOW PLAYING 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.

BEASTS OF NO NATION Based on the highly acclaimed novel by Nigerian author Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts follows Agu—a young boy forced to join a group of soldiers in an unnamed West African country‚ his childhood shattered by war, his innocence stolen by chaos. Idris Elba plays the commandant in charge of rallying his men—or rather, his boys. Cary Joji Fukunaga directs. Abraham Attah, Emmanuel Affadzi, Ricky Adelayitor co-star. (NR) 137 minutes. BRIDGE OF SPIES In May of 1960, two weeks before an East-West summit in Paris, a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace. With the world teetering on the brink of Mutually Assured Destruction, the entire course of the Cold War depended on getting that CIA agent back on U.S. soil. Tom Hanks plays the man who was trusted with negotiating the prisoner exchange, a lawyer plucked from a normal, everyday existence by the CIA. Steven Spielberg directs. Alan Alda, Amy Ryan co-star. (PG-13) 135 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. CRIMSON PEAK It’s got the oldfashioned horror tale elements like old scary mansions, ghosts, and evil sisters-in-law, and there’s something classically terrifying about a mansion that “bleeds, breathes, and remembers” that it might just be worth being too freaked out to sleep. Guillermo del Toro directs. Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston co-star. (R) 119 minutes. EVEREST As groups of 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. FREEHELD The real events of Laurel Hester’s life and death took place less than a decade ago; it’s the story of a New Jersey police lieutenant who, after dedicating her life to the force, was diagnosed with lung cancer. As if being faced with the inescapable fate of death wasn’t bad enough, Hester spent her last days fighting to ensure that her domestic partner, Stacie Andree, would be able to receive her pension benefits—just as every married partner on the force does when their spouse dies. Her fight gained national attention, and with it began the battle to secure the same rights for couples across the country. Peter Sollett directs. Julianne Moore, Ellen Page, Steve Carell co-star. (PG-13) 103 minutes. GOOSEBUMPS Quiver in your Sketchers and flannel shirts, ’90s kids, because the beloved R.L. Stine books are coming for you—again! This time, in live action, to reawaken every fourth-grade nightmare you ever had. Plus, Jack Black with a very fake, very bad English accent? We are so, so in. Rob Letterman directs. Odeya Rush, Halston Sage co-star. (PG) 103 minutes. HE NAMED ME MALALA Reviewed this issue. 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. (PG-13) 121 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. 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. 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. THE WALK Can we all just chuckle a little at Joseph Gordon-Levitt with a French accent? Now that that’s out of the way—this is so not a film for anyone with fear of heights. It’s the totally true story of Philippe Petit, who decided to walk the void between the World Trade Center towers in 1974. Of course it would take a Frenchman to pull off a totally illegal, renegade traverse over a wire at the height of 1,362 feet (no diss to the French, but it was complètement fou!). The documentary starring the real Petit, who’s still alive today, was harrowing enough. In IMAX 3D? We’ll stick to ground-level films, thank you very much. Robert Zemeckis directs. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon, Ben Kingsley co-star. (PG) 123 minutes.

Pacific Cookie Company turns 35 and a new Dim Sum restaurant in Capitola nails the wonton BY CHRISTINA WATERS

C

is for cookie, and if we Santa Cruzans never had to grow up and abandon our favorite childhood dessert, we can place our blame squarely at the delicious doorstep of Larry and Shelly Pearson. Back in the heyday of post-hippie start-ups, the Pearsons launched a sweet-tasting bit of entrepreneurial brilliance. Tinkering, tasting, and much persistence led them to open the doors of the Pacific Cookie Company on Pacific Avenue in 1980—and we all lined up to discover our favorites. I have loved the chocolate chip and craved the snicker doodle, but our

house favorite was and remains the archetypal oatmeal raisin. When the business began, the Pearson daughters were small. “It seems like just yesterday I was a 4-year-old sitting on a table in the bakery, watching my dad endlessly crack eggs to make cookie dough,” recalls Cara Pearson, current company president. Today, the second-generation cookie queen’s own daughters love to watch “even larger batches of dough being created,” she says. Essentially, the company worked because of the founders’ unwavering confidence and Santa

Cruz’s welcoming environment which loved high-quality artisanal products from the get-go. Larry Pearson’s management savvy placed his product into catalogs, airline menus, and into every board room, special-occasion package and holiday gift basket. An early adopter of online availability, Pac Cookie Co recently opened another storefront in a prime Berkeley location across from the Zellerbach Hall. The brand is everywhere, and it stays there because it deserves to. Especially in Santa Cruz, which co-founder Larry Pearson gratefully thanks for “always being a cookie town.”

Tucked into a tiny slot in the New Leaf complex on 41st Avenue is a righteous, no-frills new Chinese eatery whose very long list of classics includes dim sum dishes. Homey and inexpensive—paper plates and friendly service—Ruyi does nice filled wontons. We enjoyed the pork dumplings with their tasty insides and soft, fluttery steamed wonton exteriors, especially when dipped into the black vinegar you definitely want to request. So far, our favorite is the house shrimp dumpling, very delicate and again showcasing the extraterrestrial translucent wonton dumpling, which is wonderful dipped into a blend of the black vinegar, a dash of soy sauce and a dollop of blazing-hot chile sauce. The folks here are hardworking and the food is authentic, even if the barbecue buns were a bit overly “bunnish” for my small frame. Ruyi Dim Sum is at 1200 41st Ave. Ste. C, Capitola. ruyidimson.com

very craft brewer has a hot new IPA or pale ale, but how many of them have a bacon brown ale? Just one: Santa Cruz’s Uncommon Brewers, which first went into production in August of 2007, and has created unusual flavors like Golden State of the Oak, which is aged in Chardonnay barrels, or the Siamese Twin Ale, which is brewed with lemongrass, kaffir limes and coriander. We spoke with founder and head brewer Alex Stefansky about their unusual approach.

How did you get into making offbeat beers? ALEX STEFANSKY: I was trying to go back to the origins, where beer came from—some of those original, pre-industrial flavors. That’s where we started. What we’re doing now is I’m looking for where we can bring culinary flavors and use those to enhance what is naturally present in the style of the beer. Our Baltic porter is one of the last pre-industrial styles. It was made at lower temperature. Part of that process produces these licorice flavors. So we played around with making the licorice part of the Baltic porter. So there’s this whole shredded licorice root in the beer. You have something very stringent and rich and dark burnt flavor, along

with the intensely sweet licorice flavor. The two hit in the middle and cancel out. You end up with this very smooth, chocolatey, roasty porter. It’s absolutely delicious.

Does your bacon brown ale taste like bacon? It’s subtle, because we’re not using liquid smoke to add flavor to it. We do a bacon cure on a whole pork leg in one 30-barrel batch. It’s salted and cured and smoked. Essentially what I’m doing with it is I’m making a stock. We’re extracting some of those proteins and getting those fats out. You get these savory flavors. It’ll never taste like you’re chewing on a hunk of bacon. The goal is subtlety. We’re making beers with flavor. We’re not making flavored beer.

What new flavors are you planning? There’s a Pilsner that has ginger and wasabi root. It’s grassy, a little bit spicy, but at its core it’s a refreshing Pilsner. We have a collaboration with High Water Brewing that is coming soon called Flamenco Roja. It’s a Flanders red that’s brewed with pomegranate juice, aged on raspberries. It’s got a little nice tartness to it. It’s very dry and crisp. Uncommonbrewers.com, 621-6270.

wine-pairing dinner at Ristorante Casa Nostra in Ben Lomond introduced me to the big bold wines of Shale Canyon. Such events are a delightful way to try different wines and meet the winemaker—and get to know a restaurant more. I was impressed with both wine and food. The Cabernet Franc 2011 ($30) is a whopping mouthful of robust red wine. Grapes are harvested in Arroyo Seco in Monterey County where the shale and loam soils of the Shale Canyon area provide mineral-rich drainage, and the climate has the right amount of warmth to ripen the fruit perfectly. Ebullient winemaker Ken Gallegos showcased five wines at Casa Nostra. I particularly loved the Cab Franc, served with a well-prepared gnocchi Bolognese—a delicious pairing. Dark berry fruit with a touch of black pepper, firm tannins and a touch of smoke add to the 100-percent-Cab’s mystique. I’m so glad that Shale Canyon opened a tasting room in Carmel not that long ago, and is now part of the Carmel Wine Walk. The restaurant’s next winemaker dinner is 6-9 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27, with five courses paired with five wines by Burrell School Vineyards & Winery. Cost is $65 per person.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SUN ENTERS SCORPIO, UNITED NATIONS DAY, FULL MOON Wednesday and Thursday (Oct. 21 and 22) are the last days of Libra. Friday, a very complex day, Sun enters Scorpio. During Scorpio we can expect the Nine Personality Tests, Scorpio’s emphasis on death and regeneration and its call to discipleship. There are unusual and multiple interactions with the planets, reflecting the deep complex emotional and mental waters of Scorpio itself. A major shift of energies is the sign change (from Libra to Scorpio), from balance to desire, rest to transformations, choice to revelations. Continuing through Sunday. Saturday, United Nations Day, is the 70th birthday of the United Nations (Scorpio organization), created by the hierarchy to bring forth the rule of law for the world. The U.N.,

in its reconstruction work, is a deeply Scorpio endeavor. Sunday is favorable with Venus/Jupiter in Virgo, radiating love/ wisdom (Ray 2) to Earth and humanity, expanding goodwill. Tuesday is the full moon, Scorpio solar festival (4 degrees). Scorpio is the sign of deep feeling, Temple Mysteries, Persephone and Pluto’s underworld—psychological, spiritual, hidden and sheltered. Scorpio is the “flaming sword” protecting the Tree of Knowledge (and desire), from which the serpent plucked the apple offered to Eve (feminine mental plane). Scorpio is the sign and color of pomegranates, the orange of persimmons, pumpkins and Halloween, the latter informing us soon “something wicked (good) our way comes.” Scary indeed!

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A shift is occurring, a threshold almost crossed, new realities, work and responsibilities appear. You face the Sun, hidden behind Scorpio waters. Although not a Scorpio, you and the sign of discipleship (Scorpio) share the influences of planets Mars and Mercury. So you’re in Scorpio’s family. All of you have transforming work to do. The key is intelligent communication. Use it for goodwill, for knowledge, to dispense knowledge, to uplift.

This is an inward-looking time for Libra. Some event has forced Librans to concentrate on the past. There’s deep thought concerning new choices of behavior and beliefs to be made. Some Libras are pondering marriage, commitment. Attempt to complete things unresolved. In Libra we face the past, clear it through forgiveness, planning for future unobstructed lives. Release all non-respectful and unkind attitudes. Use words that “give love a chance.”

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 21, 2015

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

There seems to be no rest and each day provides new challenges, surprises, upheavals. Healthwise, sometimes your back hurts, your head or knees. Don’t let your heart hurt even if things seem somewhat slow and difficult—weather, finances, moving forward, being understood. Help arrives in the form of unusual events, sometimes books. Continue with intentions to uplift humanity into the light through loving visualization.

For a while you become more hidden and protected. There’s important internal work to do, developing self-empowerment through clearer identification. This happens yearly around Halloween. You drop into dark waters for renewal, emerging when comfort calls. Your communication for the next year becomes more potent. Some will understand. Some won’t. Tell everyone you’re searching for Persephone.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

The Libran energies offer you inspired thinking, dispersing new information, praise of others and identifying your creativity. You are the builder of a bridge (Antahkarana, between spirit and matter. Building this bridge is Gemini’s purpose) in many ways, opening the minds of others to think differently, to see a new light, a new day, a new life ahead. Although you may not fully understand yet, ponder on this identity.

Communication with groups is key this month. You may feel somewhat restricted for the next several years. Saturn, the disciplined teacher, is reforming your identity. Tend carefully (not wildly) to resources. Are the foundations you relied upon no longer available? Is there uncertainty? Are things somewhat nebulous and painful? These are better than piercing and sharp. The wound will heal, making you more compassionate. New work comes calling. What will you choose?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

What at present is the focus of your life? Are you tending to resources for yourself and/or others? Are you being careful of what you communicate, how and to whom? It’s most important that you use language filled with kindness and compassion, or separations around you and within your heart will occur. Language can either create and strengthen or destroy. Each of us must go beyond family and children, creating goodness and gladness in the world.

As you continue to have deep and transforming (Pluto) experiences, you may find that communication at times seems nebulous (with others) and a wound with communication may occur. Work through it with carefully chosen words, with love and deep listening. Deep listening is part of spiritual psychology. Deep listening eases the suffering of others, the world (and the self). Travel, new philosophies, a sense of justice, a new journey appears. Sturdy new shoes are needed.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Good things are occurring with your money, finances and resources. What you give now returns to you tenfold. Careful of any criticism—thinking and/or speaking. Criticism inflames our bodies, inflames situations, events and others. It’s good to take turmeric (curcumin) daily. When anger occurs, neutralize with praise. Garden. Identify yourself through what you create. Our new identities are recognized through our creations. Even if you hide away, we still see you.

Be very cautious with resources and finances. Maintain this caution for the next several years. Have intentions for goodwill in all endeavors. This leads always to right relations. Plant seeds of kindness wherever you are, in all speech and actions. Choose only what empowers you and attempt to empower others. Think on these things one by one. Place them in your heart. This is a spiritual time of opportunity for you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Expect increased work and responsibilities. Maintain health and strength in order to meet all expectations. Catch up on medical exams, tests and doctor visits put off too long. Do you also need new shoes and a new bed? I heard you need newer technology. Relationships have been restrictive, money’s been perplexing, and change ceaseless. Who listens to you? Where is your home? No matter what occurs, have gratitude.

Communication, all levels and aspects, is important for you to understand at this time. Mercury (your planet) rules communication. As the Sun in Scorpio moves through your house of communication, talk, thoughts, ideas and interactions are transformative. Use communication for goodness and to bring forth loving kindness.

MARTY MEE DUNN, Life-Long Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Freelance editor/writer; retired teacher Hobbies: Swimming, walking, gardening, playing bridge and other games, reading, cooking, socializing Astrological Sign: Virgo So you’re a Shopper’s lifer? Yes, aside from going away to college and living in Marin for a few years. It’s always been a place where you don’t just breeze in and out. If you’re looking to expand your cooking horizons, this is the place because of their many wonderful spices, condiments, sauces and more, which you might not find elsewhere in town -— there’s also an intimacy here. You don’t feel a like a sardine squeezed in — it just feels comfortable. On the other hand, the bigger stores do nothing for me; the employees are forced to say ‘thank you.’ Here the checkers know you and ask about your family. It’s personal. My two sons worked here in high school. It was a great start for them in the working world.

What do you like to cook? I like cooking Mexican — lots of enchiladas — and I do a lot of my own inventions. I try to eat healthy and use ground turkey for burgers, meatloaf, spaghetti, and other items. I really like Shopper’s marinated pork chops, also the air-cooled chicken breasts. The fish is always fresh and I could eat their newest offering, Shopper’s salmon cakes, every day of the week! I love the butcher shop — it’s a hub of conviviality. I know the butchers by name — we’ve become friends — and talk about a lot more than dinner. They’re also quite professional, and they aways consider the customer’s needs. One thing I’ve always appreciated about Shopper’s is their community support.

OUR 77 T H Y EAR

How so? I’m involved in Friends of Hospice, and Shopper’s has always lent us its support, which includes carrying our fundraising cookbook: it sells better here than anywhere else. Shopper’s also goes out of their way to highlight the best community-based products such as those amazing breads, pasta, coffees, salsas, eggs, chocolates, produce, and much more. The organic produce is super fresh because it doesn’t travel far and is often times priced lower than the conventional. I’m constantly recommending Shopper’s. Recently a chef relocated here. I suggested, “David, you’ve got to go Shopper’s for all their exotic ingredients plus the day-to-day… And it will help you integrate into the community.”

“If you’re looking to expand your cooking horizons, this is the place because of their many wonderful spices, condiments, sauces and more, which you might not find elsewhere in town.”
