OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I noticed something very interesting while researching my cover story this week on the opening of the new Colligan Theater at the Tannery: the people that are being celebrated the most for making this new performing arts center happen are not doing all that much celebrating themselves. Julie James, roundly anticipated to be the best possible manager for the theater after watching over her Jewel Theatre Company so carefully, barely has time to celebrate, as she’s consumed with the new and

TIME TO ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE

As a follow-up to your great article on El Niño (GT, 11/11): World leaders are meeting at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris this December to decide what may very well be the fate of our planet.

Virtually all scientists say we have about 15 years to seriously curb our CO2 emissions to avoid catastrophic results. All over the globe, people are organizing marches and rallies during the last two weeks in November to demand the implementation of strategies that already exist to avert a climate crisis. Marches and rallies are happening in Santa Cruz (meet downtown at the Calvary Episcopal Church with a rally at San Lorenzo Park at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22), in Watsonville (at Ramsey Park entrance at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28), and in Oakland for the Northern California gathering (at Lake Merritt Amphitheatre at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21). Check out details at 350.org. We cannot assume that world leaders will act in time to save our planet. Let’s unite and demand it.

HEALTH CARE MISSION Thank you for highlighting transgender medical health care in your recent article (GT, 11/4). As mental health professionals

different challenges of making this theater a success. And Ceil Cirillo, who first envisioned this theater (as well as the whole Tannery), is so focused on continuing to get nonprofits involved that I’m not totally sure she even considers this project completed yet.

But make no mistake, their work ethic and that of other people who became involved at various points in its development is the reason the Colligan Theater is completed.

And the quote that sticks with me the most from this story is the one in which Bud Colligan explains the effect he hopes the opening of the theater will have on the general consensus about what can be achieved in Santa Cruz. I hope you’ll read the story, and dream big.

Broadway in midtown Santa Cruz has long been a transportation artery, whether for cars, bikes or pedestrians. And yet the busy thoroughfare has always been disappointingly devoid of crosswalks.

That could be about to change. The city’s Transportation and Public Works Commission just looked at a plan to add crosswalks to the corners of Cayuga Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Pine and Caledonia streets. Bike Santa Cruz County, once known as People Power, is lobbying hard in support.

Holistic Veterans’ inaugural Community Healing Project event at the Vets Hall brought together experts to talk about different approaches to being well. Before the Nov. 11 fundraising shindig, organizer Paul Damon got a phone call from New Leaf Community Markets saying that they saw GT’s story on the nonprofit and decided to re-think their discount on the dinner. Instead, Damon says, they donated it all for free.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange,” wrote novelist Carson McCullers. “As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.” I’m guessing that these days you’re feeling that kind of homesickness, Aries. The people and places that usually comfort you don’t have their customary power. The experiences you typically seek out to strengthen your stability just aren’t having that effect. The proper response, in my opinion, is to go in quest of exotic and experimental stimuli. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, they can provide the grounding you need. They will steady your nerves and bolster your courage.

Are you willing to dedicate yourself fully to a game whose rules are constantly mutating? Are you resourceful enough to keep playing at a high level even if some of the other players don’t have as much integrity and commitment as you? Do you have confidence in your ability to detect and adjust to ever-shifting alliances? Will the game still engage your interest if you discover that the rewards are different from what you thought they were?

If you can answer yes to these questions, by all means jump all the way into the complicated fun!

TAURUS Apr20–May20 The Pekingese is a breed of dog that has been around for over 2,000 years. In ancient China, it was beloved

by Buddhist monks and emperors’ families. Here's the legend of its origin: A tiny marmoset and huge lion fell in love with each other, but the contrast in their sizes made union impossible. Then the gods intervened, using magic to make them the same size. Out of the creatures’ consummated passion, the first Pekingese was born. I think this myth can serve as inspiration for you, Taurus.

Amazingly, you may soon find a way to blend and even synergize two elements that are ostensibly quite different. Who knows? You may even get some divine help.

GEMINI May21–June20 Author Virginia Woolf wrote this message to a dear ally: “I sincerely hope I'll never fathom you. You’re mystical, serene, intriguing; you enclose such charm within you.

You're in the Season of Togetherness, which is a favorable time to seek and cultivate interesting kinds of intimacy. If there is no one to whom you can sincerely deliver a memo like Woolf's, search for such a person.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I suspect your body has been unusually healthy and vigorous lately. Is that true? If so, figure out why. Have you been taking better care of yourself? Have there been lucky accidents or serendipitous innovations on which you’ve been capitalizing? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine. Now I’ll make a similar observation about your psychological well-being. It also seems to have been extra strong recently. Why? Has your attitude improved in such a way as to generate more positive emotions? Have there been fluky breakthroughs that unleashed unexpected surges of hope and good cheer? Make these new trends a permanent part of your routine.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 From the dawn of civilization until 1995, humans cataloged about 900 comets in our solar system. But since then, we have expanded that tally by over 3,000.

Most of the recent discoveries have been made not by professional astronomers, but by laypersons, including two 13-year-olds. They have used the Internet to access images from the SOHO satellite placed in orbit by NASA and the European Space Agency. After analyzing the astrological omens, I expect you Sagittarians to enjoy a similar run of amateur success. So trust your rookie instincts. Feed your innocent curiosity. Ride your raw enthusiasm.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

Some people are so attached to wearing a favorite ring on one of their fingers that they never take it off.

They love the beauty and endearment it evokes. In rare cases, years go by and their ring finger grows thicker.

Blood flow is constricted. Discomfort sets in. And they can’t remove their precious jewelry with the lubrication provided by a little olive oil or soap and water. They need the assistance of a jeweler who uses a small saw and a protective sheath to cut away the ring. I suspect this may be an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life, Cancerian. Is it? Do you wonder if you should free yourself from a pretty or sentimental constriction that you have outgrown? If so, get help.

Whether or not you are literally a student enrolled in school, I suspect you will soon be given a final exam. It may not happen in a classroom or require you to write responses to questions. The exam will more likely be administered by life in the course of your daily challenges. The material you’ll be tested on will mostly include the lessons you have been studying since your last birthday. But there will also be at least one section that deals with a subject you've been wrestling with since early in your life—and maybe even a riddle from before you were born. Since you have free will, Capricorn, you can refuse to take the exam. But I hope you won’t. The more enthusiastic you are about accepting its challenge, the more likely it is that you’ll do well.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted,” wrote Leo author Aldous Huxley. That’s the bad news. The good news is that in the coming weeks you are less likely to take things for granted than you have been in a long time. Happily, it’s not because your familiar pleasures and sources of stability are in jeopardy. Rather, it’s because you have become more deeply connected to the core of your life energy. You have a vivid appreciation of what sustains you. Your assignment: Be alert for the eternal as it wells up out of the mundane.

For $70,000 per night, you can rent the entire country of Liechtenstein for your big party. The price includes the right to rename the streets while you’re there. You can also create a temporary currency with a likeness of you on the bills, have a giant rendition of your favorite image carved into the snow on a mountainside, and preside over a festive medieval-style parade. Given your current astrological omens, I suggest you consider the possibility. If that’s too extravagant, I hope you will at least gather your legion of best friends for the Blowout Bash of the Decade. It’s time, in my opinion, to explore the mysteries of vivid and vigorous conviviality.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 In their quest to collect nectar, honeybees are attuned to the importance of proper timing. Even if flowering plants are abundant, the quality and quantity of the nectar that’s available vary with the weather, season, and hour of the day. For example, dandelions may offer their peak blessings at 9 a.m., cornflowers in late morning, and clover in mid-afternoon. I urge you to be equally sensitive to the sources where you can obtain nourishment, Virgo.

Arrange your schedule so you consistently seek to gather what you need at the right time and place.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Are you available to benefit from a thunderbolt healing?

Would you consider wading into a maelstrom if you knew it was a breakthrough in disguise? Do you have enough faith to harvest an epiphany that begins as an uproar?

Weirdly lucky phenomena like these are on tap if you have the courage to ask for overdue transformations.

Your blind spots and sore places are being targeted by life’s fierce tenderness. All you have to do is say, “Yes, I'm ready.”

BLOOM AND DOOM Unsafe levels of the toxin domoic acid have been found in local crab, delaying crab fishing season indefinitely.

Feeling the Pinch Crab season delayed after toxic algae bloom BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE As filter feeders, Dungeness crab and other crustaceans are especially susceptible to the toxin, which bioaccumulates in their flesh. If it’s ingested by humans, domoic acid causes amnesic shellfish poisoning.

“In higher vertebrates, a small dose is like food poisoning,” says Kudela.

“At higher doses it crosses the blood-brain barrier and puts holes in the brain which can cause death.”

Short of death, larger amounts can also cause disorientation and general neurological dysfunction.

Even worse, there is no currently known antidote for domoic acid and it is extremely resistant to heat, so cooking the tainted crab will not make it any safer to eat.

A favorite local delicacy, crabs up and down our coast will continue to be tested for the toxin, and no

one knows for sure when, or even if, they will be safe to eat this year.

The season’s cancellation could have a major impact on not only the price and availability of crab in supermarkets and restaurants, but also on California crab fishermen, who rely on the approximately $60 million industry to keep them afloat, so to speak, during the winter months.

“This is the first time crab season has been closed due to domoic acid in California, so this is uncharted territory,” says Kudela.

“If [toxicity] is due to the bloom, then the season could re-open in a month or two. But we know that the bloom could settle into the bottom and sediment, which is where the crabs feed, exposing them to an ongoing toxic pool.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | NOVEMBER 18-24, 2015

L

ocal wildlife officials have delayed this year’s recreational and commercial crab fishing season indefinitely, due to a warmwater-induced toxic algae bloom that’s poisoning the food chain. The news has left a lot of us wondering just how dangerous the bloom could really be.

“This year’s bloom was incredibly toxic, and is the largest we’ve ever seen on the West Coast,” says Raphael M. Kudela, Ph.D., a phytoplankton expert and professor of Ocean Sciences UCSC. The algae create a toxin called domoic acid. “Basically the toxin works its way into the food web.

Once it goes from the algae to the animals that consume them, it spreads rapidly.”

A bit of good news is that the ocean water itself remains uncontaminated. “As long as you follow the warnings, you’ll be safe.

It’s not a contact issue, it poses no risk to surfers or swimmers,” says Kudela. Additionally, a strong El Niño this winter could neutralize the toxic algae bloom. “The El Niño will break it up. But, high rains cause large runoffs that bring many nutrients back into the ocean, which can itself create another large bloom.” It’s clearly a complicated issue with a murky outlook.

As it turns out, domoic acid has quite the rap sheet, and this year is not the first time it has tripped out the local ecosystem. In May and June of 1998, also an El Niño year with a large algae bloom, more than 400 local sea lions died and countless others were sick and poisoned by the toxin.

Domoic acid is also the likely culprit for another famous incident in local lore. On the early morning of Aug. 18, 1961, Capitola residents awoke to find a scene straight out of a horror movie that would later actually inspire one. Hundreds upon hundreds of migratory seabirds called sooty shearwaters were flying straight into buildings, cars, and people. Most of the birds died, but the ones that managed to survive were stumbling amongst the corpses of their comrades in the streets, seemingly disoriented and vomiting partially digested anchovies. This incident inspired Scotts Valley resident Alfred Hitchcock to direct a famous 1963 horror film called The Birds, in which hundreds of birds attack a coastal California town.

Although initially a mystery, scientists later looked back at zooplankton, tiny floating marine animals, taken from Monterey Bay in 1961. Sure enough, most of the samples tested had domoic acid-producing algae in their guts, suggesting that the entire ecosystem at the time may have been poisoned. Apparently the crazed sooty shearwaters had feasted on a school of toxic anchovies, got sick and disoriented, and “attacked” the town of Capitola.

WASTE NOT, WANT ROT With a focus on compost and recycling, Bonnie Linden has been generating less than one ounce of trash a month. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Waste Line Grand jury calls for regional composting agency BY JOHN MALKIN

B

onnie Linden’s house in Capitola is nestled by fruit trees and outfitted with a set of rain-catchment containers, a greywater system and bee boxes. Out front is a large box for free book exchanges and out back, in the corner of her garden, a compost bin. It’s that compost bin— and her commitment to putting all biodegradable scraps into it—that’s become a cornerstone of Linden’s new stand on trash.

At a time when the state is mandating garbage haulers and municipal governments to move toward zero waste, Linden has become an example in her pursuit of an elusive goal: she produces virtually no garbage.

And, to the dismay of local politicians and the garbage hauler,

she’s now stopped paying her garbage bill.

“Here’s the trash I produced the last three months,” says Linden as she carefully empties three small plastic baggies on her kitchen table.

“It’s so light that sometimes it doesn’t even weigh. It’s 29 grams and that includes the plastic bags that I’m using to contain it. I wouldn’t, of course, throw those in the landfill.”

The contents are mainly dental floss and lint, two materials that can’t be recycled or composted. She takes her recyclable materials to the local nonprofit Grey Bears.

At the current rate, the county’s Buena Vista Landfill—which is shared with Scotts Valley, Capitola and Watsonville—is expected to fill up in the next 15 to 20 years. And the city has an estimated 47 to 60

years of capacity in its landfill at the Resource Recovery Facility, north of Santa Cruz off Highway 1.

According to a recent report from the Santa Cruz County Grand Jury, local governments need to work together on regional composting solutions that reduce their dependence on these two landfills.

POLITICS OF GARBAGE Linden is the Director of Reskilling Expo, which offers sustainableliving skills education, and TimeBank Santa Cruz, a skillsharing network.

With the holidays on the way and wintry weather already arriving, many in Santa Cruz are prepping for holiday parties and vacation. Those living on the streets are getting ready for a colder, harsher reality, with overnight lows currently hovering around 40 degrees—and it’s only November.

It was in this context that Santa Cruz Mayor Don Lane posted an open letter to the City Council on the issue of homelessness on Facebook late last month. He began by outlining the positives, including the work of the group 180/2020, which has housed more than 360 people to date, doubling its original goal. He invoked the 2015 census, which shows a 44 percent decrease in homelessness in Santa Cruz since 2013.

He applauded the county for stepping up its efforts with new funding and staff commitments. Then Lane dug into the bad news.

Last July, Homeless Services Center (HSC) witnessed a funding setback of $650,000 in denied grants. That has led to the indefinite cutting of daytime services, leaving hundreds without access to free meals, showers and a safe place to spend the day. Lane worries that this has led to increased visibility of homeless people on city streets—one of the things critics of the shelter and the homeless have at times harped on.

Perhaps more than anything, Lane has been troubled by the coming winter.

“The timeliness of some of these issues prompted the letter,” Lane tells GT, “particularly the El Niño predicted, and the vulnerabilities that are looming for people on the street.”

Many on Facebook expressed support for the letter, which totaled about nine pages and took Lane some 14 drafts, but others derided it. One such commenter, known online only as Clarkie Clark, was born and raised in Santa Cruz, and tells GT in an email that progress is often too slow on these issues.

myself as an environmentalist. I just don’t want to pay for a service I don’t need,” Linden says.

But the city of Capitola and GreenWaste, the private garbage hauler that picks up trash for the city, aren’t celebrating. “That’s garbage politics right there,” remarks Emily Finn, representative for GreenWaste. “Bonnie lives in the city of Capitola and they have a mandatory service requirement.

Like any bills, it will be sent to collections for nonpayment.”

Santa Cruz County Supervisor John Leopold says Linden’s decision to refuse to pay for trash pickup is an uncommon one. Generally speaking, he worries that people who don’t get their trash picked up would end up dumping it illegally.

“What Bonnie is doing is fairly unique. We don’t have a lot of people generating no trash,” explains John Leopold, who represents the First District. “We have [garbage service] exemptions for people who are going on vacation longer than 30 days, people who have their trash picked up by another hauler or someone who has an account with the landfill.”

Linden, who has been practicing zero waste for more than four years, says GreenWaste used to let her put her account on vacation hold for about 10 months of the year, and she would use the service periodically for tree prunings. These days she has a sharing agreement with her neighbors, who bring kitchen scraps to her garden, and she, in turn, puts trash in their garbage bins.

Linden argues that an opt-out

exemption for zero waste practitioners and the poor would be fair and would provide financial incentive for others to follow down the path of zero waste.

Tim Brattan, Executive Director of Grey Bears, agrees.

“The only way to have people pay attention to what they’re putting in the trash is if there’s some financial motivation. That’s always how it works in a capitalist system,” says Brattan.

Linden compares garbage service to water or electricity bills. “You should pay for the amount you use,” she says.

Finn, on the other hand, looks at it differently.

She notes that even water bills have a ready-to-use fee, a flat rate that sometimes ends up being more expensive than water prices themselves. “Whether or not you flush your toilets, you have to pay for access to that infrastructure,” Finn says.

Ninety-five to 98 percent of the rate for garbage pickup is based not on the amount of material collected, according to Finn, but instead pays for trucks (which each cost over $350,000), drivers and processing.

According to statistics from GreenWaste, which would not disclose annual profits to GT, Capitola residents produced 176 tons of garbage, 130 tons of recycling, 69 tons of yard waste, and 40 tons of food waste in September. Businesses added another 300 tons of garbage.

In unincorporated Santa Cruz County, the average person creates about 2.5 pounds of trash per person per day, which is a little more than half the national average, explains Melodye Serino of the county’s

Public Works department. That comes out to about 18 pounds per week and 913 pounds per year.

The city of Santa Cruz produced an average of 4.2 pounds of trash per person per day, according to Bob Nelson, Santa Cruz’s resource recovery operations manager, citing an annual report.

BREAKING IT DOWN The grand jury’s landfill report, titled “Composting Organic Waste in Santa Cruz County: Time for a Regional Solution,” came out in June.

It notes that West Coast cities, like San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, all accept food scraps in their yard waste bins—something that isn’t allowed anywhere in Santa Cruz County.

Bob Nelson, resource recovery operations manager for the city of Santa Cruz, says these are both ways to move toward zero waste. “Zero waste is not just about recycling more tonnage. It’s a combination of lots of sustainable habits at several levels,” he says.

According to the report, between 23 and 37 percent of all municipal solid waste coming into landfills of Santa Cruz County was compostable vegetative food or yard waste.

Serino says the current rate of waste being “diverted” from landfills in Santa Cruz County is 75 percent, which meets a goal set in a 2005 county resolution. “We have one of the highest diversion rates in the state, and have won numerous awards for it,” explains Serino, who expects an updated zero waste plan to be presented to the Board of Supervisors in December. >18

NEWS BRIEFS SECRETARY’S SON One could assume Bill Monning—the California senator whose district stretches from Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo—to be the heir apparent for Sam Farr’s seat in Congress. Others may think of

Luis Alejo, one of California’s most successful lawmakers, representing Watsonville and parts of Monterey County. Neither has officially announced his candidacy.

The real front-runner, now that Farr has announced he won’t seek re-election in the 20th

District, might be farther south.

The first person to announce his campaign was Monterey County Deputy District Attorney Jimmy Panetta—son of Leon Panetta, who preceded Farr in the same spot before going on to fry bigger fish, like becoming defense secretary and

killing Osama Bin Laden.

He already has the endorsement of former lawmaker and retired Santa Cruz County Treasurer Fred Keeley.

Thanks to all the campaigning Leon has done on Farr’s behalf, many expect Jimmy to get Farr’s nomination as well. JACOB PIERCE

SEAT AND GREET The Homeless Services Center shuttered its daytime services this past May, including meals, showers, short-term housing, and

mail room access, due to lack of funding.

city, police, and it got to the point where it was obvious none of the people in positions to change things were going to do it,” writes Clark, who’s since moved to Oregon.

This could be something of a pivotal time for homeless issues. Lane, a threetime mayor and longtime supporter of the homeless, is getting temporarily termed out next year, and he has said he doesn’t plan to run for city council again in the future. Additionally, HSC director Jannan Thomas recently resigned after only one year.

Phil Kramer, who led the 180/2020 housing program for three years, has stepped in as interim director. HSC board president Claudia Brown calls him “the natural choice.”

In his letter, Lane also brought up the city’s sleeping ban and pointed out that the federal government has

signaled it may stop providing housing dollars to communities with such laws.

Last August, the Department of Justice filed a brief in in Boise, Idaho. In it, the DOJ argued that it is unconstitutional to penalize people for sleeping as it violates the Eighth Amendment.

“This means communities will need to show what they’re doing around the issue of criminalizing sleeping,” says Kramer.

The letter, Kramer adds, offers the community a chance to respond. “We know that roughly 35 die unsheltered and homeless in Santa Cruz, every year. There’s a lot we can do to prevent that,” he says.

One of Lane’s suggestions is a network of warming centers set up around the county. He proposes that the city provide 10 spots, free of charge, where homeless individuals could sleep and stay warm on different nights, plus an additional 20 provided by volunteer organizations—for

a total of 30 nights of warmth. Lane says volunteers approached him with the idea.

Since Lane published his letter, Santa Cruz County—along with the cities of Santa Cruz, Capitola and Scotts Valley— has voted to give HSC emergency funds to keep the winter shelter program open and running. The program provides dinner, a safe place to sleep, and breakfast for those in need from Nov. 16 through March 15. (Brown says it should be open 30 days longer than that.)

When it comes to the sleeping ban, Lane calls for some out-of-the-box thinking. He proposes issuing permits for individuals to sleep on the street as long as they’ve made the effort to find housing, but were denied.

The Mayor also suggests taking a hard look at the sleeping ban itself. “It doesn’t seem to make sense to penalize people for sleeping,” he says.

He says many of the complaints he

hears from community members are not necessarily about individuals camping or sleeping in the open, but about the trash that is often left behind. “We can have an ordinance to address those issues, but maybe the person falling asleep on a park bench isn’t a problem we should engage law enforcement with,” Lane says.

Kramer acknowledges there is community tension when it comes to homelessness, but adds the community has a responsibility to solve the problems together. Brown says the root of the problem, at least, isn’t hard to find. After years of federal studies, she says it’s clear that the solution to homelessness is housing.

“I kind of feel like saying ‘duh’ every time at the end of that sentence, because it seems so obvious,” she says.

Kramer agrees. “It’s not rocket science,” he says. “But it is hard work.”

The city of Santa Cruz adopted zero waste as a long-term goal in 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1989, we had a disposal level of about 120,000 tons per year, now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around 49,000 tons per year,â&#x20AC;? Nelson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is tangible progress in reducing our waste.â&#x20AC;?

The grand jury calls the waste disposal systems of Santa Cruz County â&#x20AC;&#x153;fragmented,â&#x20AC;? and recommends â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cities and county of Santa Cruz form a regional agency to develop and use a large-scale organic waste composting system in the county.â&#x20AC;?

Santa Cruz County had a commercial food-waste composting program for about 50 businesses, but grant funds ran dry in 2012.

County Spokesperson Jason Hoppin says local government officials are exploring composting options in coordination with one another.

Supervisor Leopold says the county is planning to create a new 10-year contract for county garbage collection, and the city of Santa Cruz may be a partner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a new thing in 2018,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Leopold adds that the supervisors took action this month to curb illegal dumping of trash around the county. The plan also will include mandatory â&#x20AC;&#x153;universal serviceâ&#x20AC;? pickup. Garbage trucks will now start coming to 3,000 homes in the rural unincorporated areas and charging them. (In a way, the county is moving away from the opt-out program Linden is calling for.) The county may also install cameras at some of the common dump sites.

Linden says county leaders need to start thinking about programs to let residents put non-yard food scraps in their green bins, because encouraging people to compost in their own gardens, she feels, simply isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address households, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a serious zero-waste action plan,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably thinking it would be difficult to start collecting household kitchen scraps. But Berkeley, San Francisco and Oakland do it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just behind the curve.â&#x20AC;?

STEWARD OF THE ARTS Julie James

will manage the new Colligan Theater, and her Jewel Theatre Company is the performing arts group in residence.

of voice. “He worked on that a lot. And he fixed it!”

One would expect some last-minute complications when opening a brandnew performing arts center—not that it’s something that James or most people in general have ever had to do.

“There’s a lot,” she admits. “It’s typical I guess with new buildings, right? There’s always a bunch of things. But it was so funny, I don’t know what it was with the doors.”

Angel investor Bud Colligan, who along with his wife Rebecca got involved two and half years ago not just as major donors, but also working closely with the Tannery board of directors on the project, says that nailing down James’ involvement was a key moment in the process. The couple had long considered Jewel Theatre Company “one of the bestkept secrets in Santa Cruz,” and so it was the first thing that came to mind after Tannery board member Scott Walecka did a market analysis to determine how financially viable the theater could be.

“Part of the discussion was around making sure we had a business model for the theater that could be successful going forward,” says Colligan. “The key to that, it turned out, was to have a strong resident theater arts company to manage it, and also take a lot of dates.”

The project broke ground in October

t’s just hours before the first performance ever at the Tannery Arts Center’s Colligan Theater, and Julie James is standing outside its front doors, looking simultaneously exhilarated and stressed. James’ Jewel Theatre Company is the arts company in residence at the new $5.8 million building, about to present the preview performance of Guys and Dolls, which will run there through Dec. 6.

She’s earned this permanent home for her group—at 182 seats, twice as large as their previous playhouse on Center Street—because of her reputation for watching carefully over every little detail, and producing quality productions yearround on a shoestring budget. Her time has come for a call-up to a bigger theater like this, and the details have gotten bigger, too—like, for instance, whether the audience will actually be able to get into the building for the show.

“The guy was here yesterday and fixed all the doors,” she tells George Newell, the former executive director of the Tannery Arts Center who played a big part in shepherding the theater project through.

“So they’re not jamming anymore?” he asks her.

“Not jamming.”

“What about the back door to the stage?”

“Oh, yeah,” she says in a knowing tone

<21 of 2014, and back then no one could have known the added significance the opening of the theater has now, three and a half months after the darkest days in the short history of the Tannery, which opened in 2009. When 8-year-old Madyson Middleton was found dead there on July 27, and 15-year-old Adrian Gonzalez, who also lived at the Tannery, was arrested for her murder, some longtime champions of the innovative live/work artist space worried it would always be tarnished by the tragedy. Those same supporters see the opening of the Colligan Theater as a potential turning point: the first good thing to come along since the entire community was in mourning, and a huge new opportunity for the campus.

“People have said the timing is good because it’s a certain margin of time away from the bad things,” says James. “I think everybody’s ready to celebrate and move forward in a new way. Definitely people are feeling great that it’s completed.

“There are theater people who haven’t ever visited the artists here.

Their audience will get to see there’s a new theater, our audience will see that there’s artwork. It’s just going to help bring the Tannery more to life than it already has been.”

OUT OF THE BOX Most people involved with the theater project are surprised at how smoothly it’s gone from breaking ground to opening its doors.

“I’ve never been involved in a project this large that’s come in on time and on budget,” says Colligan.

Add to that the fact that it was completed without any public money, which is almost unheard of.

“The community really came through and provided the funds,” says Jess Brown, chair of the Tannery’s board of directors. “To be able to open it up without any debt, that’s just an incredible feat.”

Nor was this a standard performing arts kind of project.

Instead, it was part construction,

part restoration. The 8.2-acre parcel now called the Tannery Arts Center was originally built in 1856—and rebuilt after various storms and fires over the last 150 years—but was known throughout the 20th century as the Salz Tannery. Salz Leathers closed in 2001, and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The Colligan Theater is built on the site of the Salz Tannery’s Hide House, which was used for exactly what it sounds like. Because the large open warehouse required a bowstring truss roof design with no supporting columns, it was a perfect spot for the theater—if you don’t count the fact that the floor had to be raised 4.5 feet to be up to code.

“We had to take an old box, and turn it into a theater,” says Newell.

“The architect was brilliant; he was able to put this beautiful façade on the front and still meet the historic preservation standards. The reason we used the old warehouse was it was a building of historic significance, and we wanted to preserve it to the greatest extent possible. But also, it was 5,000 feet of clearspan, this big box without poles in it, because the bowstring trusses held up the roof.

So we thought ‘OK, this is a great place to start. Now how much of a theater can we fit into that?’ All the performance space is the same footprint as the original warehouse.”

While the building process has looked lightning fast to the outside world, Colligan notes that in reality “the project took a long time to pull together.”

“We were drawn to the project mostly because we were interested in the preservation of a historical structure, and in completing a project that had been a dream for everybody, but couldn’t seem to get finished,” he says. “We were able to build on the foundation that everybody laid. The project has really got two different stories.”

One of those is the physical construction that lasted a year. The other stretches back four decades.

SETTING THE STAGE <22

EARLY ADAPTER In 1976, Ceil Cirillo visited Alexandria, Virginia’s Torpedo Factory Art Center, an old munitions site that had been converted into a complex of artist studios, galleries and workshops, and opened in 1974. Cirillo was converted, too; “adaptive recycle” became her architectural philosophy.

Coming to Santa Cruz in 1990, Cirillo was better known during her time as Redevelopment Agency Director and Economic Development Director for her role as a driving force in rebuilding Santa Cruz after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake than she was for her search for a performing arts center site. And yet, that search began not long after she got here, and, over the years, included a number of spots that never panned out. In 1995, while serving on the Cultural Council’s “Action Plan” Facilities Committee, she heard from a wide range of arts groups about the lack of performance space locally.

Then, in November of 2001, the Salz Tannery closed.

“I thought ‘this would be a great campus for the arts, and we could meet all of our needs,’” Cirillo remembers.

By February of 2002, she was already holding focus groups with several local arts organizations.

“I was looking for an opportunity to bring all those nonprofits together,” she says. “The important thing for me was that these nonprofits have certainty. They wouldn’t be subject to the economic pressures of the time.”

By 2009, her plan for the Tannery had finally been realized, but the performing arts center she always wanted took six more years. Those who’ve been involved with the project over the years credit several individuals and groups who’ve stuck with the Hide House development like Newell, Tannery board member Bruce Nicholson, and construction company Devcon. But they all reserve a special level of respect for Cirillo.

“When Ceil came up with this concept, having the live/work

[space] and the studios and the theater, the vision was there,” says Brown. “Now that these things are in place, I think the broader community can see why it’s important.”

As for how she kept that vision intact through various challenges and fundraising struggles over the years, Cirillo remains pretty matter of fact. “It needed to happen, and there wasn’t anybody else who could do it.

And I just had faith in this community that it would get done,” she says.

But her lifelong love of the arts comes out passionately when she remembers how hard she had to fight for the artist live/work concept.

“I ran up against a lot of opposition,” Cirillo says. “But artists are a very important part of our economy. You can’t ignore people’s passions and genius. We need to showcase them.”

BIG TIME For James, who will still manage Center Stage, the Colligan Theater means room to grow.

“It’s quaint at our old space, and the audience loves how intimate it is, so it’s nice to come to a bigger space, but not too big. This is a really perfect next step for Jewel,” she says. “Where we were kind of busting at the seams, here we have a little more breathing room.

There’s more space, and it’s nice to have twice the height—so we can do larger sets, and we can do levels, which we couldn’t do at the old space. A lot of those things that every show we’d go ‘oh, I wish I had more this or that,’ this is completely filling that.”

Her technical staff is noticing the difference, too.

“At the Center Stage, the ceiling was so low that you had trouble blending lights together. People would be constantly walking through shadows or hotspots,” says Mark Hopkins, the lighting designer on Guys and Dolls. “Because there’s so much room [at the Colligan Theater], the lights have a chance to blend together and create a smoothness.

Doll Parts Jewel Theatre Company’s spirited ‘Guys and Dolls’ is a crowd-pleasing sure-pick to inaugurate new Tannery space BY LISA JENSEN

T Shaw’s Painting Since 1983 Lic #473695

250 Potrero St. s Santa Cruz

831-229-1257 | CURTIS@CURTISSHAW.COM

he second production in Jewel Theatre Company’s 11th season is more than just an evening of theatre.

It’s an invitation to come check out the company’s spanking new performance space, the Colligan Theater, at the Tannery Arts Center, next to Radius Art Gallery. With raked seating for 182 patrons above the stage (the incline is gradual, not nosebleed-steep), there are no bad sightlines. And while the space seems enormous compared to JTC’s

previous venue, the microscopic Center Stage, it still feels intimate in terms of the viewer’s relationship to the performers.

To inaugurate this new space, JTC has mounted a production of the crowd-pleasing vintage musical Guys and Dolls. Originally produced in 1950, but set in the ’30s, the show is based on the short stories of Damon Runyon, and populated by his usual cast of lovable Broadway denizens on the outskirts of respectability— gamblers, bookies, and chorus girls.

NEW DIGITAL XRAY!!!!

K

The JTC production is a bit slow out of the starting gate, but picks up steam in the second lap and gallops to a strong exuberant finish.

The show was influential in its day for its faithful recreation of Runyon’s characters (with book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows), its impressionistic storytelling, and its terrific literate songs by Frank Loesser. This production does it justice, with strong singers in the leads, and excellent, plot-moving dance numbers choreographed by Lee Ann Payne. Music is provided by a seven-person combo on a platform upstage, and director Linda Piccone keeps things moving around and through Kate Edmunds’ smart, mobile set.

The story revolves around Nathan Detroit (the ever-likable Christopher Reber, beloved in Gunmetal Blues a few seasons back), who makes his precarious living setting up illegal crap games for neighborhood gamblers, and taking a cut. But somehow he never quite has enough

cabbage to marry the girlfriend he's been engaged to for 14 years, Miss Adelaide, star attraction at the Hot Box nightclub. Julie James has a high old time in the role, with her Bronx accent and racy stage numbers like “Take Back Your Mink.”

Needing cash to set up his next game, Nathan bets gambler Sky Masterson (the reliable David Ledingham, who has a great singing voice) that he can’t persuade straight-laced Salvation Army missionary Sarah Brown (Cornelia Burdick Thompson), to go to Havana with him for the day. (Thompson has a lovely singing voice, but her high notes are so pure, she may not need to be miked.) As their improbable romance plays out, the mission is threatened with closure unless Sky can deliver twelve “sinners” to a midnight revival meeting.

The show’s best coup is casting JTC veteran Diana Torres Koss in the male sidekick role of Nicely Nicely. Her Runyon-esque patter, dialect, and attitude are perfect, and she delivers some of the best songs, including the title tune (sung with the engaging Lucas Brandt as crapshooter Benny Southstreet). The singing-dancing ensemble shines in B. Modern’s lush costumes, with Jordan Sidfield’s very funny Harry the Horse another standout.

The simmering “Havana” number, with its gorgeous dancing and pantomime vignettes (in a movie, we’d call it a montage) is the point in this production where everything starts to jell. The second act is a race to the finish line, with a dynamic “Luck Be A Lady,” the wry AdelaideNathan duet “Sue Me,” and Torres Koss leading a rollicking “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” at the revival meeting.

The material may feel a bit dated now and then, but this spirited production successfully launches JTC’s new home.

<24 so that’s great,” James says. “The real challenge is maintaining that.”

The hope, of course, is that many other arts groups will also make use of the Colligan. While it’s an honor to be chosen to manage the theater, she says, she doesn’t have time for a victory lap.

“There’s a little bit of feeling like ‘wow, all the hard work is being noticed,’” she says. “At the same time, it’s a juxtaposition of ‘this is wonderful’ and ‘it’s a big, huge responsibility, and the pressure’s on.’”

Colligan hopes the lesson that comes out of the theater’s successful completion is that people can and should dream big in the public arena, the way Cirillo did.

If I walk from one side of the stage to the other, it’s smooth. That’s a nice thing. And then we get a whole bunch of new color changes.”

Early response to Jewel’s move seems encouraging. James says the company’s subscriber base has been growing by about 35 percent every year, and ticket sales so far at the Colligan have surpassed her expectations.

“We just keep adding performances to make sure we have enough open seats for single tickets versus subscriptions. I kept the same number of performances, knowing we wouldn’t be selling out as much here. But frankly, we’re doing really well, and we have some shows already sold out at the bigger house,

Part of creating a better community is showing people that we can make progress, that we can do things together.”

Meanwhile, James is outside the new theater again, feeling more confident about the doors.

“Did you hear that truck that just went by? Not once in there have I ever heard any of that stuff. I’m sure it’s been going by, we’ve been here every single day,” she says. “We were worried, what were the ratings on the doors? We got an acoustician involved, the consultants to deal with all the sound issues. The other theater, a motorcycle goes by and you can hear it. But I have not once heard anything in there that wasn’t a

sound effect that they were playing.”

Newell smiles.

“That,” he says, “was money well spent.”

In addition to the production of ‘Guys and Dolls’ at the Colligan Theater (see page 26), the Tannery Arts Center will host a Thursday Art Market on Thursday, Dec. 3 (3 to 6 p.m.) and a Winter Art Market, Friday, Dec. 6 (6-9 p.m.) through Sunday Dec. 8 (Saturday and Sunday hours are noon-5 p.m.).

“I mean, how hard is that, to perform with somebody on stage who you’ve broken up with, and there’s another girl there who wants to see him. And you can’t replace him because he knows all the songs.

So many bands have done that. It’s heartbreaking,” says Framstad.

At 55, Framstad is a graceful

<32 executive’s eyebrows. In other words, “You’ve got a five-song EP, you’ve got a music video, you’ve played live about 20-30 shows, and you have an Internet presence with followers,” says Framstad.

“Usually it takes so many years of time and money just full-speed ahead in the wrong direction, thinking they need this or that,” says Framstad. For instance, you need “just a simple quirky music video. You know, something a student at UCSC is going to do for you for a trade or something, but it’s good enough, and it’s a great recording, and a song that really depicts you—you look like it, you sound like it, I totally get you, I want to hear more.”

What gives Framstad’s insight its edge, though, is that it’s born not only out of her early experience as a struggling artist with a dream, but also out of many years spent working in the music industry in L.A. Framstad was a 19-year-old Soquel High graduate when she committed herself to the path of a singer/songwriter, playing local clubs—including Bocci’s Cellar, the Catalyst, the long-gone Palookaville, and the Grapesteak, which is now Cafe Cruz—and selling demo tapes back when nobody else was really doing it.

“I was terrified [of performing], I would literally feel like I was going to throw up before I went on stage,” Framstad remembers. “I’d have my lyrics up there, because I thought that I’d get too nervous and forget them. I was mortified being up there, but I would do it anyway. And then you strengthen your courage muscle. You get more brave.”

Putting herself out there paid off in spades. Framstad followed her dreams to L.A., where she started approaching managers at a high level. “And because I did have my recordings together and I was playing live shows, they wanted to listen to me,” she says. “[It’s a chance for] a real honest evaluation from several higher-ups. I didn’t want to hear what I needed to work on. I had already worked so hard. I

didn’t like getting feedback, I took it as harsh criticism. But in the end, most of what was said by the higher-ups was true.”

Framstad went on to write and record songs for film and TV, including a Gold Record song on the soundtrack 10 Things I Hate About You, and ran the songwriting department at the Hollywood vocal camps of Seth Riggs, who counts Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson among his past clients.

With an eye for the je ne sais quoi that sets one artist apart from the next, Framstad’s passion is helping artists map out a strategy to reach their goals, while staying true to their authentic selves.

Aside from vocal coaching—and Framstad sings a few lines of a song to demonstrate that sweet spot in her vocal range which in L.A. lingo is called your “money voice”— Framstad schools artists in piano, guitar and building confidence in live performance—from what to say (and not say) between songs to how to carry yourself on stage. Most obviously, though, she helps artists become better songwriters.

“I used to think that I had to write about certain things because that’s what other people were writing about,” says Framstad.

“But the songs that people liked the most were the ones that I was really vulnerable about, singing in front of people because they exposed so much of me. There’s such a delicate balance between whining and being filled with self pity, and coming through it where the listener likes you.”

A song is a 3.5-minute chance to rock someone’s world, says Framstad, and while originality is wonderful, it’s poignant moments of sincerity that will ultimately win over listeners. “It doesn’t diminish your authenticity as a singer/songwriter if you have to learn the craft of songwriting, if you have to learn how to perform,” says Framstad. “That’s all a fantasy that nobody else had to learn how to do it. Everybody had to learn how to do it.”

HEART OF THE MATTER Lisa Randall, whose new book is ‘Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs,’ will speak at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

NOVEMBER 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Dark Shadowed

In her new book, Lisa Randall explores the scientific mysteries of dark matter, dinosaur extinction and more BY WENDY MAYER-LOCHTEFELD

L

isa Randall builds models— not of ships or airplanes, but of the world. As a theoretical physicist, she assembles theories that attempt to explain the nature of matter and space, and some of them are doozies. Take this one: Dark matter, the invisible scaffolding that keeps galaxies and solar systems from flying apart, might have kicked a comet from the Oort Cloud toward our inner solar system 66 million years ago, where it slammed into earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs as well as two-thirds of the other species roaming the planet. This theory serves as the foundation of her new

book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs.

She’s in the perfect position to explain such complexities. Randall has co-authored pivotal papers on string theory, written bestselling books liked Warped Passages and Knocking on Heaven’s Door, and is an honored professor at Harvard, where she lays out the jaw-dropping wonders of the universe while kindling the kinds of questions that grad students dream about tackling.

When I ask her why dark matter interests her, she says, “I’m trying to get to the most basic elements of the universe, so we can figure out what the fundamental laws are. One of the really fun things about working on

dark matter for this book was that it created an inroad into learning more about astronomy, geology, paleontology, the solar system, and cosmology. It opened up a lot of doors.”

Randall normalizes the idea of extra dimensions and counterintuitive ideas about time and space by pointing out that ours is not the only way of knowing. Even so, I can’t help but replay countless magicalrealist conversations about quantum physics I’ve overheard in coffee shops around town. I wonder aloud how she bridges the discussion of science and mystery.

“I encounter less talk of mystery than you’d think,” she says. “People

know what I’m talking about is science and they respect that. The stuff that’s true is pretty fascinating.”

As a scientist at the top of her field, Randall has often found herself to be the only woman in the room, and I ask if the situation for women in the sciences is improving. “There are more women than there used to be, but it’s still not a big number,” she says. “One of the reasons it’s good to be writing books is because people see that women are doing it.

I’d like to think my presence helps a little. I’ve had women talk to me about it, but things have changed as rapidly as they could.”

One of Randall’s gifts is her ability to illuminate and mine connections—between science and art, distant space and the ground beneath our feet—but she doesn’t force them.

“My job as a scientist is to wait and see what the connections really are,” she says.

I ask whether she was connecting history to climate change while she wrote the book. She tells me she was. “I was thinking about the history of the planet, what it is that we’re changing and and how quickly we’re changing it,” she says.

“It’s helpful to have a context and understand where we came from, all the complicated interrelationships that have formed over millions of years. It’s not clear that we can affect one and have everything else fall into place.”

As we finish our conversation, it hits me that I’ll probably never again have the chance to ask someone with her knowledge the ultimate question: Is there life on other planets?

“I think it’s very likely there is,” she says. “What I’m less confident about is whether we’ll be able to identify or discover it.

A lot can happen in the universe.

Unambiguously convincing ourselves that there’s life in other places might be challenging, but I don’t see any reason why there shouldn’t be.”

Lisa Randall will discuss her latest book at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Free.

PERFORMANCE ANXIETY The Planet Cruz Comedy show on Saturday, Nov. 21 will

feature a showdown between ‘Sleepy’ John Sandidge (above) and Rosemary Chalmers.

Air Buds KSCO’s Rosemary Chalmers and KPIG’s ‘Sleepy’ John Sandidge square off for Planet Cruz Comedy BY STEVE PALOPOLI

T

he head-to-head showdown between county supervisors Zach Friend and Ryan Coonerty was the hit of the last Planet Cruz show. On Saturday, the latest comedy-variety show from Richard Stockton, Sven Davis and company will revisit the format with two icons of the local radio landscape, KSCO’s Rosemary Chalmers and KPIG’s “Sleepy” John Sandidge.

“They did this last time with Ryan and Zach, and out of that came the best line of the night,” says Sandidge.

He is referring to the “yo mama” fight that broke out between the two supes over each other’s districts, and ended with Coonerty’s zinger “Aptos—isn’t that where people who think Scotts Valley is a little too edgy move?”

Sandidge knows the pressure is on for him and Chalmers—and he is totally ready to disappoint.

“They’re not going to get the best line of the whole show out of us, I’ll tell you that,” he says defiantly.

There will be a lot of competition, since the show will also feature comedians Will Durst, Swami Beyondananda, Milt Abel, and Joe Klocek, as well as more tomfoolery from Stockton and Davis, and the

backing of the Planetoid Band, which includes Alan Heit, Peter Cor, Rhan Wilson, Olaf Schiappacasse and Matt Bohn.

But I don’t know, Chalmers started out at KSCO as Sandidge’s producer when he did the morning show there, and they probably have a lot of dirt on each other.

“She’s got nothing like I have on her,” Sandidge crows with the kind of overconfidence that reminds one of Icarus, right before he flew too close to the sun.

There is the promise of the “Window Washing Story,” a bit of KSCO lore which definitely involves somebody’s breasts.

“I’m not promising nudity in this show, but I’ve heard it is a possibility,” says Stockton. “I want everybody to know it will not be Sandidge.”

As for why he chose the pair for this second standoff of noted locals, Stockton says, “I’ve been trying to get Rosemary Chalmers on this show for 10 years. And Sleepy John, I’ve always just wanted to mess with him.”

Planet Cruz Comedy will be presented at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, available at planetcruzcomedy.com.

Baby Gramps’ unusual take on folk gives new meaning to ‘old, weird America’ BY CAT JOHNSON

B

aby Gramps won’t tell me his age, or his birth name, or who he was before he was, as his friends call him, “Gramps.” He’ll only say that he was born in Miami, but has lived in Seattle for the last 50 years, and that his first guitar, a National steel, was given to him by his father, who played it in the 1930s. While this might normally be annoying, or feel schtick-ish, I’m actually fine with it.

It suits Gramps’ persona perfectly, and makes me like him even more.

In the folk and roots music scene, the word “timeless” gets thrown around a lot. We use it to describe someone who touches in on emotions, styles and techniques that

are familiar and proven, like Gillian Welch or Jeffrey Foucault.

But Gramps is timeless in a different way. With his wild and long white beard, pirate’s growl, and mountain-recluse-chic attire, he’s like a time-traveling, guitar-playing moonshiner or gold panner who’s a bit puzzled by modern culture but happy to be here nonetheless.

And he brings with him a bevy of songs and styles that he (sometimes single-handedly) is keeping from going extinct.

“I have songs that go back to the 1500s that I love to play,” he says, citing “King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O,” a version of “Frog Went a Courtin’,” the English folk song that

first appeared in 1548. “That’s a song about the most strange wedding of Miss Mousie.”

A collector of folk songs from around the world, Gramps estimates that he has probably 30 or 40 different versions of the tune, and he’s made up his own versions as well.

“I also do ‘Turkey in the Straw,’” he says, “and that one goes way back.”

Though he won’t give away the details of his early life, Gramps’ music, his disposition, his humor, and his enthusiasm speak for themselves.

He’s a heart-on-sleeve guy who cares deeply about sharing music with people, and has a great respect for the deep roots of folk music.

“In the old days, a lot of people didn’t have access to television or radio,” he says, explaining that people could develop songs without a lot of outside influence. “What they did do all the time was play music. After dinner, the whole family would play on the back porch or at backyard parties.”

Embracing a hodgepodge of these back-porch styles, including novelty jazz, ragtime, Victorian dancehall tunes, blues, folk, and more, Gramps is a master of wordplay.

He loves performing for and with children, and his music is unlike anything you’ve probably heard before—a blend of weathered sea shanties, classic folk music, silly jazz numbers, and nonsensical palindromes, spoonerisms, and oxymorons. His goal is to “pursue all those dead ends” of folk music, and try to tie them together.

“They call it Baby Gramps music,” he says with a laugh.

A self-described historian and collector, Gramps estimates that he has 10,000 books and “records up into the millions.” When I ask if he ever considers moving, or retiring, he says he just doesn’t want to, and he doesn’t see how he could.

“That’s my chosen profession,” he says, “my love of music. I write all the time, and I’m collecting all the time.” Then he jokes, “I should have been a little more choosy, maybe.”

Gramps stays busy collecting, learning, rewriting, and sharing traditional songs—and his loyal fans love him for it. They recognize that, regardless of how he got here or what his origin story is, Gramps is an extraordinary artist and human—an international treasure trove of laughter, stories, and old folk-music gems he pulls from dusty books, cylinders, and boxes out into the 21st century.

“The tradition of music is really alive and it’s strong,” says Gramps.

“So many people have breathed life into it. I believe you can’t do anything wrong with it.” He adds, “Like Dylan says, you can’t kill it.

And he has tried.”

Baby Gramps will perform at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

“One of the funniest and melodious shows in seasons. Everything about it seems practically perfect.” – Variety With memorable songs andd fun-loving characters, you won’t want to miss what many consider to be the perfect musical comedy.

‘THE SOUL TRANSITS IN PLAIN VIEW’ AT THE TANNERY Over the course of a year, Iris Silva has been working with students in the expressive SoulCollage method to explore “the many wonders and complexities of the human soul.” Practiced internationally, the method invites artists and novices alike to create their own personal Tarot card deck, with each card representing one aspect of the person’s personality.

“The Soul Transits in Plain View” shows the visual and reflective journey of Silva’s students, bridging the connection between transpersonal and metaphysical in the formation of the human ego.

FRIDAY 11/20 & SATURDAY 11/21 MOTION PACIFIC’S INCUBATOR PROJECT PRESENTS ‘VACANCY’ Busy schedules, busy lives—so often we’re overbooked, under-rested, and stretched too thin.

It’s a concept that Shift the Grid unpacks in their upcoming show ‘Vacancy,’ as part of Motion Pacific’s Incubator Project. As college students and recent graduates, the young dancers of the new movement collective know a thing or two about feeling constantly torn between two places at once. Over the course of six months Grid’s six dancers collaborated on everything for this show—which, when drawing on their unique backgrounds including classical ballet, contemporary movement, jazz history, and modern dance styles, is no small feat: “It’s definitely been difficult at times collaborating with six people,” says Grid dancer Angela Chambers.

“But it’s also been an invaluable experience for each of us as dancers because we’ve had to push past not only our own creative and personal limits but also that of the collective as a whole.” In their work, Shift the Grid questions life’s expectations, daily realities, the finite and infinite, because sometimes (most times) movement speaks louder than words. With mentorship, resources, and advocacy from Motion Pacific’s Incubator Project these emerging choreographers have earned the opportunity to present work in a professional environment for the very first time. For more information on how to contribute to their kickstarter project to ensure their dancers receive compensation, search “Shift the Grid” at kickstarter.com.

CALENDAR MODERN OLDERHOOD Pains and Gains

SATURDAY 11/21 INTERNATIONAL SURVIVORS OF SUICIDE LOSS DAY Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death for Americans of all ages. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more people died of suicide than by car accidents in 2010. Depression affects 20-25 percent of Americans over the age of 18. But far more people are affected by suicide and depression than can be encompassed in these numbers, which don’t account for those left behind with the pain of losing a loved one. That’s precisely why the International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day was founded in 1999 by Sen. Harry Reid. This year’s gathering for people affected by suicide loss will feature a screening of Family Journeys: Healing and Hope After a Suicide, produced by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Info: 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m., La Selva Beach Community Church, 26 Florido Ave., La Selva Beach. 239-6040.

Aging is truly a bittersweet saga, full of enormous grace and beauty and crushingly painful limitations. Crushing because no matter how hard you try, the limitations cannot be vanquished.

I have met some amazing women: artists and musicians in their mid-80s who are sharp and intellectual, who have beautiful perspectives on life and have many wonderful stories to share.

These women are not what you think of as 80. One woman sported a sassy short haircut and wore a sparkly purple hat when we met. She was, by any measure, beautiful, all 98 pounds of her with huge luminous eyes.

For anyone who loves a hobby, knitting, painting, sculpting, baking: to have your hands betray you is life altering.

Arthritis is the number one grievance of elders and painful hands can drain the joy from any of those hobbies.

LOCAL BAND

BEGGAR KINGS Don’t call local ensemble the Beggar Kings a Rolling Stones tribute band; they do something completely different.

Rather than recreate the Rolling Stones on stage, they bring to life two of the group’s best albums: Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street, both from the early ’70s—a fertile time for the band.

“It’s just musicians doing this, not unlike a symphony doing Mozart. We’re trying to reproduce an album that is a work of art, as opposed to the haircuts and the costumes,” says band leader and multiinstrumentalist Dale Ockerman. “It’s just based on the albums. We don’t say, ‘let’s start with ‘Satisfaction’ and end with ‘Start Me Up,’ or whatever’s popular.’”

NOVEMBER 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

The idea to bring classic albums to life is nothing new for Ockerman. He’s already been doing it as part of the White Album Ensemble, who bring the Beatles famous White Album to a live setting, something the Beatles never did. It only makes sense to move on to the other big groups from the ’60s British Invasion, but of course, the early ’70s was when the Stones were pushing boundaries.

50

Sticky Fingers (1971) was a hard-rocking, catchy record, and considered one of the Stones’ best. However, Exile On Main Street (1972) was a flop in its time due to its lack of pop hooks and a heavier blues and American roots influence. Critics nowadays cite this record as the Stones doing their most cutting-edge work.

“I look at Exile on Main Street as them going, ‘we’re really successful, let’s go make our own record.’ I don’t think they were going, ‘what’s going to be the hit?

We need another ‘Satisfaction.’’ There were no suits and cigars telling them what to do. It was freeform in their crazy Stones way. By the time they hit Exile, it was the whole new thing,” Ockerman says. AARON CARNES INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy 9, Felton. $18/ adv, $20/door. 603-2294.

THE STORY SO FAR

THURSDAY 11/19 PSYCHROCK

MOUNTAIN TAMER Nobody else in town can pull off the interstellar power trio quite like Mountain Tamer, and 2015 was their year to shine. Earlier in March, they released their latest three-song, self-titled demo—recorded by Joe Clemens at the Compound—before playing a plethora of shows in the area including the Santa Cruz Music Festival. However, there must still be a few people in town who have somehow missed these wizards of warp, and to those we say, “Be prepared for things to get heavy.”

Especially considering Mountain Tamer will be blasting the Crepe Place with Los Angeles garage rockers Mars and the Massacre. MAT WEIR INFO: 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 11/20 REGGAE-ROCK

PEPPER San Diego is a hotbed for Cali-reg-

gae, so it’s no wonder that Hawaiian reggae-rock trio Pepper relocated there early in their career. The group gets some flak for sounding a bit like Sublime with their eclectic mix of reggae, ska, dub, and punk, and the generally frat-ish vibe in the lyrics department (weed, booze and ladies), but it’s beyond their singles that the group shows the most range.

They dig into a more laid-back, dare I say Hawaiian, sound, and on their newest record there are even some tender moments (including a painful tune about going through a breakup). Whatever they are playing, the three-piece is certainly eclectic and has shown incredible staying power.

REGGAE

MICHAEL ROSE The ’70s roots reggae era was a fertile time in Kingston, Jamaica that produced thousands of brilliant records.

Second only to Bob Marley is Michael Rose, or at least his group Black Uhuru, which he joined in 1977. But check out his pre-Black Uhuru “Key of Keys,”

which is a roots classic. Black Uhuru became the dominating name in reggae internationally throughout the ’80s, and they scored the genre’s first Grammy in ’85. Rose returned to the solo spotlight in the ’90s, where he’s stayed ever since, producing brilliant roots-reggae records, one after another.

With melodic chords and catchy vocals, TSSF earned themselves a mention on the Alternative Press “100 Bands to Know” list. In May, the band released their self-titled third full-length, which hit No. 23 in American charts.

They will be playing the main stage with fellow punks Basement and Turnover for a night that promises to pull at the heart strings while keeping the

OZOMATLI American Latin groups are nothing new, but L.A.’s Ozomatli has always taken the genre to new and dizzying places.

Santa Cruz has long had a thriving roots music scene, but lately, we’ve taken a pleasant twist into classic country, thanks in part to the growing Western Wednesdays scene at the Crepe Place. On Saturday, two of the finest local country bands take the stage at Moe’s Alley, as the Carolyn Sills Combo, a rising star of the national Western swing scene, teams up with local favorite Sharon Allen & the Dusty Boots for a night of classic country picking and singing. CJ

Surfing, skating, smoking weed, playing music—just a normal day in Santa Cruz. But local darlings of the indie-bro scene the Expendables have taken things to the next level, becoming musical ambassadors for the lifestyle. From the band’s early days playing local parties to their current standing as a nationally touring headline act, this four-piece blends reggae, punk, surf and more into a sound and style that has become synonymous with West Coast reggae-rock.

FILM

SECRET AGENT, MAN Daniel Craig once again plays James Bond in ‘Spectre.’

Bond Blowback NOVEMBER 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Is ‘Spectre’ really the ‘worst Bond in 30 years?’

Don’t believe the anti-hype BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

56

A

nd once again, the Englishman saves the world. Spectre has the second biggest opening of any of the 24 canonical EON Productions James Bond films. To inflame the Bond fever, some 15 earlier 007 films are now streaming on Hulu Plus, including the magnificent 1969 cult Bond On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, an early attempt to bring Bond back to earth and to make him as much a lover as he is a fighter.

Spectre is a matter of controversy— “Worst Bond in 30 years,” cries one critic, Scott Mendelson of Forbes. This, even though Spectre delivers what the fans had wanted for decades: the resurrection of the British secret agent’s greatest

enemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The Professor Moriarity of the Bond saga, Blofeld is played this time around by Christoph Walz.

Even people who dislike the rest of Spectre admire the lavish opening sequence in Mexico City during a Dia de Los Muertos parade, shot seamlessly in a way that’s been compared to the endless tracking in the movie Birdman, and finishing with a fist fight in a helicopter over a crowded Zócalo. Bond’s been to Mexico before, in the pre-titles of Goldfinger (1964) and in License to Kill (1989). The parade of skeletons deservedly welcomes this killer, who has come in so many faces over the course of the last 50 years. He keeps coming back from the dead, surviving

“this ever-changing world in which we’re living” to quote that awful Paul McCartney song from Live and Let Die. Craig is peerless in highlighting Bond’s suffering. Homely yet handsome, like Clark Gable, wellbuilt and bemusingly human, Craig wears the mask of Bond perhaps better than any actor, though Connery’s particular heft in the part keeps drawing you back beyond the technical limitations of the 1960s Bonds and the awkward sexuality.

And yet Craig may be on his way out. Time Out London’s Dave Calhoun recently asked him about his plans for the next Bond movie, and Craig reacted like a man discussing the prospect of Monday morning’s work during a Friday night at the pub: “I’d

rather slash my wrists” than revisit the role, he said.

But Craig cares about the role—a sentiment he makes clear later on in the less frequently quoted part of the interview. Giving hypothetical advice to the next actor to take up the mask of James Bond, Craig said, “You’ve got to step up … people do not make movies like this anymore.

This is really rare now … you’ve got to push yourself as far as you can.

It’s worth it. It’s James Bond.”

Bond mirrors what Robert Warshow said was the essence of the Western movie hero: “He has his own kind of relevance. He is there to remind us of the possibility of style in an age that has put on itself the burden of pretending that style has no meaning.”

And Spectre is rich with style.

Maybe the best moment besides the Zócalo scene is the one that gives Craig’s Bond and Léa Seydoux’s lovely Madeleine Swann some negative space, when they wait at a train station in the desert, soon to be the guests of the natty, cheerful and criminally insane Blofeld. The madman has his musings about the best way to torture, in uncredited dialogue by Kingsley Amis. (Amis wrote a very good Bond novel once, Colonel Sun.) Waltz is a sterling Blofeld, the living embodiment of the eye that never sleeps, the ear that hears all.

Leaving the movie, I am stopped in my tracks by the image of Craig on the Spectre promotional poster—so magnificently insolent and slouching next to the splendid Seydoux—and I think of Shakespeare: What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?

The studios make blockbusters, but they don’t make larger than life movies. Craig was right: “People don’t make movies like this anymore.” When was the last time you saw a movie star hold his space like that, without irony or apology?

The posters, lining the ever-emptier hallways of multiplexes, do what a movie ought to do. That is, to summon its fans from whatever morass life has caught them in, to provide wickedness and peril.

SPECTRE With Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes and Monica Bellucci.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

BROOKLYN From far across the cavernous pond, Eilis is an Irish immigrant who lands in 1950s Brooklyn, New York, only to face crippling homesickness, glaring cultural differences, prejudice, and hardship. When Eilis falls in love with a young Italian boy from a totally different world, she’s forced to choose between her old home and her new life. John Crowley directs.

Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson co-star. (PG-13) 111 minutes.

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

NOVEMBER 18-24, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 Did this book need two movies? Who even cares, we’ll follow Katniss anywhere. Francis Lawrence directs. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth co-star. (PG-13) 137 minutes.

58

SECRET IN THEIR EYES Jess, Claire and Ray are a tight-knit group of investigators quickly rising through the ranks until they find the body of a teenage girl—the body of Jess’s daughter. Thirteen years have passed when another lead falls into their lap and the trail of justice and retribution is picked up once more.

Lead by the brilliant trio of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, and Julia Roberts (with Roberts delivering what looks to be her most haunting performance to date), Secret In Their Eyes is a chilling journey of personal vengeance directed by the screenplay writer for Captain Phillips and The Hunger Games. Billy Ray directs. (PG-13) 111 minutes.

SPOTLIGHT In Boston, the church ran everything. When the Spotlight investigative reporting team from the Boston Globe began unpacking the decades-long cover up of child molestation, they found themselves up against a web of religious, legal, and government croonies. The cover up was linked to the city’s highest levels and the wave of revelations that followed in its wake rocked not only the Catholic world, but the entire international community.

Tom McCarthy directs. Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams co-star. (R) 128 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.

BURNT The Netflix show Chef’s Table gives a fairly good look into the angst, desperation and rockstardom of today’s top chefs—Burnt blows it wide open. Bradley Cooper is Adam Jones, a two-star Michelin chef, who is hunted, wanted, idolized, and despised on the path to culinary perfection and restaurant redemption. John Wells directs.

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

EAST SIDE SUSHI Juana is a single mom who can tackle anything thrown her way. But in the back kitchen of a Japanese restaurant, she’s the wrong gender and the wrong race.

To become a sushi chef, she has to fight against the many cultural and gendered barriers to claiming her piece of the American dream. Anthony Lucero directs. Diana Elizabeth Torres, Yutaka Takeuchi, Rodrigo Duarte Clark co-star. 100 minutes.

EXPERIMENTER In the wake of WWII the words “I was just following orders” haunted a generation. So, in 1961 psychologist Stanley Milgram decided to test just how perceptions of authority could lead human beings to commit terrible atrocities and how defiance became the anomaly. Milgram’s experiment was

the first of its kind (ten years prior to the Stanford Prison Experiment) and his radical methods incurred international outrage but also shockingly profound results. Michael Almereyda directs. Peter Sarsgaard, Winona Ryder, Taryn Manning costar. (PG-13) 98 minutes.

through thick and thin. The thick gets thicker when Milly is diagnosed with breast cancer and Jess struggles to have the baby she’s longed for. Catherine Hardwicke directs. Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette, Dominic Cooper co-star.

(PG-13) 112 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.

OUR BRAND IS CRISIS Sandra Bullock plays Jane, a high-stakes, all-or-nothing campaign manager who is sent to Bolivia to install a new leader against her nemesis, the coordinator for the opposing candidate, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton). Based on the 2005 documentary of the same name, the film follows the events which quickly take Jane’s fight out of the realm of pure politics when the country starts to disintegrate into war and chaos.

David Gordon Green directs. Sandra Bullock, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie co-star. (R) 107 minutes.

LOVE THE COOPERS In case the ’90s didn’t deliver enough holiday feel-good films about families around the dinner table—here’s one that sounds just like all the others except with Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, Marisa Tomei, Diane Keaton and John Goodman.

There’s the gorgeous daughter who feels pressure to bring home a life mate so she snags a stand-in at the airport, the single dad with his potty-mouthed daughter, the crazy grandmother, and the overbearing mother who only wants a perfect Christmas. Jessie Nelson directs.

(PG-13) 120 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.

MISS YOU ALREADY Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette play Jess and Milly, two lifelong friends who’ve been at each other’s side

ROOM To Jack, there is nothing outside Room: Room is the entire world. He wakes up and says hello to Lamp, to Table, and to Plant. Now it’s up to the 5-year-old to break his mother out of Room, so they can both find freedom in a harrowing outside world that he’s never even heard of. Lenny Abrahamson directs.

Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Sean Bridges co-star. (R) 118 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.

SPECTRE Beautiful Bond is back again: hello, piercing blue eyes and puckered pout, it’s been too long!

Oh yeah—something about a secret organization, M struggling again to secure Bond’s job, and over two hours of bing, bang, boom, kablooey.

Also, Christoph Waltz! Sam Mendes

directs. Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux co-star. (PG-13) 148 minutes.

SUFFRAGETTE “All my life I’ve been respectful, done what men have told me—well I can’t have that any more,” says Maud Watts, an almost reluctant suffragette who stumbles upon the underground women's movement in England in the late 19th century. Cornered by men at every turn, these foot soldiers of the early feminist movement risked everything to gain the right to vote—suffering oppression at work, brutality in the streets, humiliation by their peers, ostracization from their families and children, imprisonment by the police, and in some cases, even death. Sarah Gavron directs. Carey Mulligan, Anne-Marie Duff, Helena Bonham Carter co-star. (Pg-13) 106 minutes.

THE 33 The mine owners knew there was structural damage, but they still sent 33 miners 22-stories under the earth’s surface. Without ladders, radio contact to the outside world, an empty medical kit and food and water for only three days, the miners have no option but to sit and wait for rescue. Only, the mine owners do not attempt any removal of the gargantuan rock blocking the exit and the government sends drills to reach the chamber only after pressure by families and the international media. Based on the 2010 Chilean mining disaster, The 33 follows the 69 agonizing days the men spent underground. Patricia Riggen directs. Naomi Scott, Cote de Pablo, Antonio Banderas co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

TRUTH A group of journalists stumble upon the “holy grail” of documents—proof that President George W. Bush lied about his military service. Only, once the story goes national, it turns out the memos haven’t been confirmed and some of them can easily be forged on Microsoft Word. Truth is the story of the 2004 CBS “60 Minutes” report which sank anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes’ career. James Vanderbilt directs. Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Dennis Quaid costar. (R) 121 minutes.

Rainy Refuge

Kelly’s offers killer sliders and pumpkin pie, plus dining pet peeves and wine of the week BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

t wasn’t my week. I loved the rain, but it was wreaking havoc on my dinner plans—courtyard wet—and lunch plans—power outage. But then there was Kelly’s French Bakery, reliably open, welcoming, and full of wet-weather revelers.

A hot lunch was just the thing.

So we split an order of the beef sliders special ($15) and sipped jasmine green tea as we tried not to surrender to pumpkin pie ($4) before lunch. The trio of sliders, each one a layering of beef and toppings on a beautiful fresh bun, offered an array of special flavors.

All good. My favorite was the

substantial patty (this was not one of those micro-sliders) topped with melted cheddar and bacon.

A lavish addition of ketchup (the other Protestant condiment) made it even more so. On another slider, caramelized onions and Roquefort romanced the beef, and the third offered fresh avocado and chipotle sauce. Total yum! And enough for two. Kelly’s pumpkin pie was utterly authentic. Balanced spices, a voluptuous custard texture and delicious tender crust. Killer pie.

Kelly’s—located in the center of the Ingalls Street empire on the Westside.

CHOICE WORDS TO SERVERS First off, let me salute you for your patience, smiles, and for your help interpreting menus, meals and receipts. That said, I offer a few choice suggestions.

Please don’t hover. Asking if everything is “all right” is fine.

Once. Please wait to check on your customers until they’ve actually had time to sample the meal. This is close to another pet peeve of mine—servers who arrive at the table the minute you’ve sat down to ask what you would like to drink.

Give the customer time to actually

look at the wine list, or consider the other possibilities. How can they order if they don’t know the territory?

And please, don’t ask the diner, “Are you still working on that?” as if enjoying dinner at your establishment should require physical effort. This ubiquitous question insults the patron and insults the chef, and saps all leisurely enjoyment from the act of dining out.

If you notice that diners are deeply engaged in conversation— or holding hands and gazing romantically at each other—do not stop by to inquire about the meal. Timing is everything. An awkward interruption can ruin an enjoyable dining experience. Let’s get beyond generic responses such as “Sounds good” or “Perfect!”

Yes, we all use these responses, and used once, they are friendly and put the customer at ease.

However, repeated over and over at every service point during a meal, they become annoying. And the server sounds robotic. I know everyone has had the experience I had last week at lunch when a very upbeat, but superficially trained waiter responded to every single request and comment with the words “Sounds good.” Just don’t! Is restaurant management a lost art?

WINE OF THE WEEK Congratulations to winemakers Jon Morgan, Peter and Paul Bargetto, whose bold and lyrical Soquel Vineyards 2013 Partners’ Reserve Library Selection Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains) won gold medal honors in this month’s Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition. This is a sensational creation, an important Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot loaded with terroir-inflected spice, earth, and dark plums delivered on an ideal 13.9-percent alcohol ($24 at Shopper’s Corner). I have a bottle saved for one of the upcoming holidays, and you might want to make sure you locate some in time for, oh, Thanksgiving or New Year’s? soquelvineyards.com.

Table Tops What to look for as local indie grocers stock up on holiday specialties BY MARTINO DIGIOVANNI

A

ll of our favorite grocery stores bring in special items for holiday meals at this time of year. Here are some recommendations that you won’t want to miss in the hustle and bustle of the season.

LIMITED-RELEASE WINE AND BOURBON Wine and bourbon connoisseurs are

licking their lips in anticipation of this annual event: seasonal allocated wines and bourbons. Shopper’s Corner has long relationships with suppliers that give them hardto-get rare and limited releases.

Look for special collections from Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Pappy Van Winkle, and more; plus limited Pinots from Sea Smoke, Pisoni,

Rochioli, and others.

Also: Prime rib. Award-winning butchers prepare and tie them, and you can ask for garlic and rosemary to be added.

Shopper’s Corner, 22 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz, 423-1398, shopperscorner.com.

SPECIALTY SEAFOOD The 24-foot-long case of seafood at

SPECIALTY CHEESES The cheese buyer at New Leaf Community Markets’ Westside store, Waleed Alsheshani, has ordered too many seasonal cheeses to list, but we noted three reliably good ones (all available at the Westside store and some available at other locations): Cacio di Bosco al Tartufo— Sheep’s milk, with truffles, Italian, $29.99/lb.

Brillat Savarin—Cow’s milk, triple cream, French, $19.99/lb.

Le Roule—Cow’s milk, handrolled with garlic and herbs, French, $18.99/lb.

Also: New Leaf prepares entire meals for the holidays with healthy, tasty entrees and sides (vegetarian and vegan, too).

cotts Valley finally has its own brewery: Steel Bonnet. It’s a small operation, but locals are already enjoying it, and there’s a tap room people can visit, which opened about a month ago. It has eight taps, six year-round and two for seasonal varieties. Owner Donald Cramb, who’s originally from Scotland, started out many years ago home-brewing. He and his son have been home-brewing the past eight years. Now they brew together at Steel Bonnet. Cramb gave us the lowdown on his new brewery.

What’s it like to be the only local brewery in Scotts Valley?

DONALD CRAMB: The reaction from town has been very supportive.

People have been looking forward to having a brewery in town for a while.

The city has really supported us in getting started. They made us feel like they wanted this to happen also.

Any unusual blends?

Probably the most unusual beer is our peat smoked red ale. It’s basically an amber type beer or Irish red, and we use peat smoked malts. I don’t know if you are familiar with Irish whiskey.

It’s a peaty, smoky flavor.

What’s the tap room like?

We’re trying to make it a place for

people to try the beer, but at the same time play games—we have board games. We wanted to be kid friendly and dog friendly. We don’t have TVs. Never say never, but right now our plan is to not have TVs. We want to have people sitting around and talking. We’re always available to talk to people at the tap room if they have questions or if they want to try beer from the fermenter.

We want to make it a learning experience. We also learn from people that come in. We have some very gifted home-brewers that come in. They come in with ideas and suggestions. It goes both ways.

What are your plans for the future?

Our system is very small. It’s only three barrels. We’re learning that we’re going to have to go bigger quicker than we thought. So we’re looking to upgrade our fermenters to seven barrels. At the tap room, we have a space in the back that we’re going to develop into a patio, hopefully by spring time. In terms of the beer itself, we will be selling growlers in the near future, also kegs and then distribute our beer to local bars and restaurants.

quinox has moved to a different locationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now in the middle of the action of Surf City Vintners on Ingalls Street, opposite Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing on the Westside.

My husband and I had a splendid time last month celebrating with winery owners Barry and Jennifer Jackson at their grand-opening party. The new spot has much more exposure and foot traffic.

Sampling winemaker Barry Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delicious sparkling wines is like tasting the nectar of the gods.

When the cork pops and the bubbles fizz, a glass of his beautifully made mĂŠthode champenoise bubbly becomes the perfect libation to enjoy at special events. Aged 11 years en tirage, Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1998 Blanc De Blanc Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay Cuvee ($60) is dry, elegant and bursting with crisp fruit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for those who

crave something specialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as this experienced winemaker cuts no corners in production.

With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve coming up, a celebratory glass of Equinox is in order. Jackson says that his sparkling wine pairs well with fresh strawberries, oysters on the half shell, blue cheese on sourdough bread, and much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But best of all,â&#x20AC;? Jackson says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a sweet passionate kiss from the one you love.â&#x20AC;? Oh, yes, Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is around the corner, too.

+ RISAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS BY RISA Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ANGELES SIMPLICITY PREPARING FOR THANKSGIVING Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 18, 2015 When we study and apply astrology in our daily lives, we are anchoring new Aquarian thinking. Study, application and use of astrology, understanding its language, builds the new world, the new culture and civilization. Astrologers are able to plan right timing and right action. Next week is Thanksgiving (Thursday, Nov. 26). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to understand the energies influencing us in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. When we know these things we are able to make Right Choices, have Right Action. We link heaven and Earth, our minds with the starry energies that influence us.

Let us consider the following influences.

The North Node (point in space where sun and moon meet, representing humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present/ future pathway) has just entered Virgo. Virgo is about food, purity, cleanliness, service, detail, order and organization. What can we learn from this? Because these energies are available to us we, too, can have

intentions and a rhythm of order and organization, purity and cleanliness.

Sunday, the sun enters Sag, joining Mercury (we have high ideals, many goals).

Tuesday, Mercury/ Saturn (structured disciplined thinking) squares Neptune (thoughts, ideas, goals dissolve away). Wednesday is 3 degree Sagittarius solar festival (full moon).

Sagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a goal, we achieve that goal, and then we see another.â&#x20AC;? We might have many plans and goals for Thanksgiving.

However, on Thanksgiving those goals may be dashed. Saturn (structure) squares Neptune. All structures and plans dissolve and fall away. What is our response to this? We simplify all that we do.

We plan on everything changing. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fret. We adapt instead. Adaptation is the behavior of the Disciple. Sagittarius is the sign of the Disciple.

ARIES Mar21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Apr20

LIBRA Sep23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct22

Relationship interactions will call you to tell the truth, to ask for what you want and need, to reflect and figure out what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to offer in return. Not providing information, not exploring and explaining actions, desires and aspirations in relationships keep everyone in the dark. True love is communication. Communication creates true love.

Nothing else matters.

In the past several months a new vision of self has begun to emerge. Perhaps unexpected wounds created this.

Now you want to look a certain way that enhances your self-esteem and creates a balance between how you feel and how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re perceived. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been important in the last years for your desires to manifest. Now that you have much of what you hoped for, whom will you begin to assist? With whom will you share your prosperity?

TAURUS Apr21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May21

SCORPIO Oct23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov21

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to plan, create agendas and schedules that bring order into daily life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that rhythms be established, priorities stated, goals set, and details worked out so you can achieve greater efficiency. Allow nothing to get in the way of creating what to you is essential daily discipline. This prepares you for the future.

You actually know what that future will be.

That nebulous feeling of not knowing anything, even the time of day, the month and perhaps year, is slowly dissolving and with it comes a sense of knowing once again what you want and need, understanding desires and aspirations. For so long youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard yourself saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure.â&#x20AC;? Allow circumstances to present themselves before stepping into new situations. Watch, look and listen.

GEMINI May 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec20

For months there have been thoughts of a new creative endeavor. Then, the time was not right, the season hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrived. You know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time and season for everything and Geminis intelligently follow them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to list the projects youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only thought about, choosing several to follow through with. Conflict turns into harmony, confidence into well-being. Virtues appear.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to assess who your true friends and acquaintances are. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know whom to turn to for care, warmth and true respect. So much is in flux and change that we must begin to understand where real support comes from and where our support is accepted. Reach out and touch those you care about.

Surround them with love and appreciation. The planets, entering Sagittarius, increase your vital potency.

CAPRICORN Dec21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan20

Certain situations have placed you between two different realities. These you created and at some time you must attempt their balance. However, each day this becomes more difficult. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake are truthful values. You are asking which values are most important. Within you and at home are the places where change must take place. Ponder upon your choices. They are your tests.

Everyone who comes in contact with you realizes you are a teacher, someone to be reckoned with. They realize that although you may have a sense of humor and be the life of the party, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best not to cross, take advantage of, ignore, or treat you unkindly. They realize you have values and principles of right relations and goodwill. Every month, list your likes and dislikes, needs and wants. Then post it for everyone to see. Begin with family.

LE0 Jul21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18

Has it been difficult these past two months for others to understand your sense of pulling back in order to create. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit lonely and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt misunderstood. Perhaps you longed for clarity thinking it would never arrive. A new structure has emerged.

You no longer need to enter into silent retreat because of difficulties in communication. Discernment was the purpose for the last several months.

Many changes and uncertainties have occurred in the past months. Hopes and visions you held seemed to dissolve due to the arrival of unusual tasks and responsibilities. Now there is fresh air, time to choose and eliminate. You can take a stand on the direction of your life and figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an illusion and what is reality. Things, people and information far way seem vital and significant. Contact all of them.

VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22

PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20

Tend carefully to resources for a true perspective of where you stand financially. Is something occurring at home, perhaps a state of change or dissatisfaction, a sense of restriction that leads to a complete restructuring of your surroundings? Do you want to run away from home, wondering if you have adequate funds? Take a bit more time to reflect on your choices.

Different answers emerge soon.

Observe the tasks you accomplish each day. Observe also your thoughts, focus, goals, and intentions? Observe what you want and need? You can begin with what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want and need. Paradoxes flourish in your life. To be efficient and balanced you must stand in the middle, betwixt and between. Focus on the small daily details of your life. The larger greater life events will appear on their own. Develop daily rhythms. Rhythm protects us.

OUR 77 T H YEA R

What do you folks like to cook? AFAF: “Sudanese, Chinese, Balinese, and American cuisine. I love Shopper’s lamb! I’m originally from Sudan and we use lamb in many dishes. I also like Shopper’s fish, sausages and chicken for many other recipes. I like that I can get a lot of the items here for my cooking.” TODD: “My favorite is Italian but I also cook most of the basic American dishes. I really like Shopper’s steaks — great quality — and their veal, which can be hard to find, for veal parmesan and schnitzel.”

AFAF: “I like that the meat department is clean, and the butchers are so helpful.”

How so? TODD: “The butchers are very professional; they’ll advise you on what you’re making and special-cut the meat to your liking. It seems that everyone who works here has a nice attitude and is accommodating.”

AFAF: “Also the girls up front are really nice.

If you need assistance out with your groceries, they’ll help you to your car.” TODD: “I’m a child of the 1940s, when we had relationships with small stores as there were very few supermarkets. Here, at Shopper’s, you get to know the people where at the big stores, it’s impersonal. AFAF: “Shopper’s staff always make you feel like a special customer.”

Do you shop here for your holiday meals?

TODD: “Yes, it’s a holiday tradition. We’ll get a Diestel turkey, all of our vegetables and fixings, plus a pumpkin pie.” AFAF: “I love Thanksgiving: sometimes my birthday falls on the same day and I can celebrate both! We don’t have Thanksgiving in Sudan. It’s just so beautiful, Christmas as well, and people are extra nice.” TODD: “Holidays and year around, Shopper’s has endeared themselves to the community for numerous reasons.

During the Loma Prieta earthquake when everyone lost power, Shopper’s distributed free food. Many will never forget that.”
