OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE There’s a story in our news section this week about the latest study of activity along the San Lorenzo River. As you’ll see, estimating how many people are using the riverwalk, and whether that number is trending upward, is complicated, but take a look at the data on how people are using it. There’s no doubt in my mind that the positive changes around that are because of the effort that the people behind Ebb and Flow have put into changing Santa Cruz residents’ minds about the river, and in some cases really opening their eyes to it for the first time. Ebb and Flow is a fun festival and a great art celebration, but underneath that, it’s also a source of healing for a part of our ecosystem that has been neglected and downright exploited for too long.

POINT TAKEN

Re: “Point of Return” (GT, 5/24): The proposed development of San Lorenzo Point has some worthwhile elements, but is overdone. This corner of Seabright State Beach has a craggy bluff with stunning views of the beach, river, ocean, and Boardwalk. The article states that one of the proponents “would love to pave over the cliff and put some kind of retaining wall around it.” This is too much. I think, like some of the other neighbors, that this much construction, especially going all the way out to the point, is out of keeping with the rawness of the place. Any development should enhance safe access to the entry area and honor the unique history of surfing here, all the while being as unobtrusive as possible: improvements in the entryway to address the muddy, uneven walkway; sit places; a surfer plaque; possibly one stairway to the beach; and native plants to replace the non-native invasives. JEB BISHOP | SANTA CRUZ

POVERTY AND REALITY Until a recent encounter with a homeless

There’s a quote in Brendan Bane’s cover story this week that really jumped out at me: “The river has a long history of insults and abuse.” It’s such a visceral way to think about how the San Lorenzo has been treated for the last century and a half. It also makes it easier to understand that part of the healing that needs to be done is psychological, which is why not only the festival itself but also the incredible educational effort that Ebb and Flow organizers have made around the river is so important. The other part, of course, is physical, and as more and more attention has been given to the river over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that people are more interested in the science of the San Lorenzo. This story is the best dig into the details of its recovery and the challenges it still faces that I’ve read. Here’s hoping this year’s Ebb and Flow sees even more locals discovering this fascinating other world right in our backyard. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

census taker at a Food Not Bombs feeding, my general formula for homeless abject poverty was: for one third of the homeless, it’s a lifestyle choice, one third are mentally ill and one third have no safety net. It was expressed to me that the reality as indicated by recent surveys in California is 60 to 70 percent of those experiencing homeless abject poverty are mentally ill. It is rather ludicrous that these folks can be expected to show up for work on time, let alone function rationally. Homeless abject poverty cries out for immediate remediation, not chain gangs and other forms of applying “Biblical principles” like Proverbs 26:3 literally: “A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.” The inherited wealthy are, of course, excluded. Indeed, back to the Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:10: “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” Now, we all know this tenet of the true faith is preached religiously from every pulpit to the American inherited uber-rich in 2017, just like opposition to fugitive slave laws was preached fervently by Southern Baptist ministers in the antebellum >8 American South.

Pick your poison: do you like to inch along in gridlock Highway 1 traffic during rush hour, or do you prefer cruising along from one red light to the next on Soquel Drive? Perhaps you prefer sitting at home waiting for the day the county may one day possibly have passenger rail service. The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission wants those insights in a survey for its Unified Corridor Study. For more information, visit sccrtc.org.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 31 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically. Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter, along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further. If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision? Traditionally it signifies caution, but these days it suggests you should be bold.

From my study of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, the hidden chambers beneath the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority ... to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop ... to gather your most imaginative allies, and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next five years. Do you dare to slip away from business as usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if? If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it or rent it or compromise it in any way—especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care. Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best. Lavish it with pleasure and healing. Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body. Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level.

“On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky—though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio. But I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you. Your ache for primal fun and your longing to accelerate your soul’s education are converging with your quest to summon a deeper, wilder brilliance.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

“The most intense moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: every new now is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures. This is always true, of course. But I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interesting feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations. This could be pleasurable, but also overwhelming. Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.

You’re in a phase when you have the power to find answers to questions that have stumped you for a while. Why? Because you’re more open-minded and curious than usual. You’re also ready to be brazenly honest with yourself. Congrats! In light of the fact that you'll be lucky at solving riddles, I’ve got three good ones for you to wrestle with. 1. Which of your anxieties may actually be cover-ups for a lazy refusal to change a bad habit? 2. What resource will you use more efficiently when you stop trying to make it do things it’s not designed to do? 3. What blessing will you receive as soon as you give a clear signal that you are ready for it?

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, business-like focus. But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. And it could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.

MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged. But we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac. (Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancerians.) However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads. Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs. But I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.

The lion’s potency, boldness, and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks. To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies. Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a flashy flirtation with the color red. I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses. Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello's “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince's “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “If you want a puppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw. That confused me. Would the owner of a Lexus SUV be the type of person who didn’t expect to get what she really wanted? In any case, Pisces, I’m conveying a version of this bumper-sticker wisdom to you. If you want your domestic scene to thrive even more than it already does, ask for a feng shui master to redesign your environment so it has a perfect flow of energy. If you want a community that activates the best in you, ask for a utopian village full of emotionally intelligent activists. If you want to be animated by a focused goal that motivates you to wake up excited each morning, ask for a glorious assignment that will help save the world.

Your imagination is the single most important asset you possess. Listen to the podcast: http://bit.ly/YourProphecy

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: PETE THE POET

Now offering organic henna haircolor + body art

I had the pleasure of meeting Pete last summer at Wellstone. He was humble and gracious. After we participated in open mic, I was fortunate enough to exchange

pleasantries with Pete, and—as so many others had—encourage him to share his works with the world. Listening and talking to Pete was akin to having an encounter with the most beautiful yet flawed of what humankind has to offer. Someone honest enough to share his fears and discomforts about the human condition is truly an anomaly in this narcissistic/detached world. With so few people like Pete around, I am truly happy to have been in the right place, at the right time to have met one of the least and best of us. Farewell Pete. — FELTON FOUSHEE

Will YIMBYs replace NIMBYs on the density issue in Santa Cruz? BY JACOB PIERCE [Editor’s Note: This is part two of a twopart series on future housing plans for the city of Santa Cruz. Part one ran last week.]

crowd—mostly homeowners over 50— chuckled and guffawed when Adam Novak told the Santa Cruz Planning Commission, “I feel like I have a right to live and build a life here, too, just as much as the people who’ve been here for 30 or 40 years and already own homes. In pursuing that right, I’ve had to live in preposterous and frankly illegal housing situations because the availability of housing is so restrictive.”

It was the latest corridor rezoning meeting at the Santa Cruz Planning Commission to look at higherdensity, mixed-use and generally bigger apartment buildings on the city’s busier streets—ideas that have proved controversial locally. The aim is to provide a boost to the Santa Cruz housing market. “It’s not even the price,” Novak continued, backpack slung over one shoulder, glancing down at the notes on his phone. “You can afford the rentals, but when you show up, 30 other people are there, and one of them gets it before you. I think we need to build more housing. We need accessible housing, and

tall buildings are one way to do that. I think tall buildings are not just automatically bad because they’re tall. You can build an ugly tall building, but you can build a beautiful tall building, too.” After he finished, Novak walked quickly away from the podium, down a crowded aisle. Evan Siroky, a tall, slender software developer, stopped him, leaning over to whisper, “Hey, I’m trying to start Santa Cruz YIMBY. You should check it out on Facebook.” Siroky, a 32-year-old who lives near Scotts Valley and works from home, first got the idea for the group from a friend in Seattle who’s involved with a “YIMBY” >12

When faced with the thought of their own deaths, people sometimes wonder: What will become of my remains? Who will discover the body? It may seem impossible to know such answers, but Alison Galloway has the grotesque visitation schedule down to a science. “Typically, the flies are the first to arrive,” Galloway says. Galloway is a professor of anthropology at UCSC, where she specializes in the study of human skeletons. She often works with law enforcement agencies as a forensic anthropologist, identifying and analyzing human remains. Galloway visits the Rio Theatre on June 6 to share stories from her many years as a world-renowned expert and to talk about what happens when we leave our bodies behind. “I want to remind people that we are part of the cycle,” says Galloway, who served as UCSC executive vice chancellor from 2010 to 2016, “and that our bodies behave the same way as any other carcass.” Galloway’s talk—“Life of the Dead: The Natural History of Human Decomposition,” organized by the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History—will explore the processes that unfold within a freshly dead human carcass, and it won’t be for the faint of heart. The old “Hearse Song”—about creepy crawlers going to town on the body—isn’t far off. Blow flies, Galloway says, are among the first to find the carcass, and they thrive on human flesh. Females must lay their eggs in the nutrient-rich tissues of dead creatures. They use their antennae to pick up on the volatile compounds released from desiccating bodies. Next, rigor mortis sets in as calcium accumulates in the muscles and blood pools in the lower body parts. Oxygen deprivation kills the cells that compose our tissues, and they eventually spill their contents, marking the onset of putrefaction. The body then bloats, Galloway says, swelling up and eventually beginning to dry—either quickly or slowly, depending on the environment. Other organisms—from flies and fungus to bacteria and >14

group there. YIMBY stands for “Yes, In My Backyard.” YIMBY organizations have sprung up in San Francisco, New York City and Boulder, Colorado, each purporting to oppose the so-called “Not In My Backyard,” or “NIMBY,” camps. The local groups generally support new development and denser housing growth. The man behind Santa Cruz YIMBY is ready to go a step beyond the corridor rezoning for major thoroughfares, suggesting that even single-family residential neighborhoods could be “up-zoned” to allow denser housing in other areas. Most of the public comment at Thursday’s meeting struck a different tone. Three speakers earlier, Brian Mayer—a longtime resident of Avalon Street, five blocks off Water Street—worried aloud that there isn’t any way to keep Santa Cruz affordable, no matter what. And if someone wants to live in Santa Cruz, they should find a way to make it work, even if it means going back for an extra degree. “People shouldn’t live here if they don’t want it bad enough,” Mayer said. “They just shouldn’t be here.

them off the highway.” Some Santa Cruzans still worry that by allowing for taller buildings—up to 65 feet high in some places—the rezone will send their home values plummeting, clog up heavily trafficked streets and block out the sun. But a few studies, including one from Harvard, have shown that new multi-family complexes don’t decrease nearby home values at all. At their May 25 meeting, planning commissioners gave some notes to staffers on specific details. Each of the members, for instance, supported increasing the noticing radius for new projects on the corridors from 300 feet to 1,000 feet—an elevenfold increase in the number of postcards the city would send out. They also encouraged creating a design review board to look at the style and quality of projects. In large part, commissioners tiptoed around the hot-button issue, though, declining to take any hard stances for now. The commission will keep looking at the corridor improvements line by line, through the summer at least, and the plan probably won’t reach the Santa Cruz City Council for about a year.

And the thing is we want to talk about compassion, compassion for the people who can afford it. What about the 65,000 people who live here?” Mayer’s words resonated with the crowd. Friends filed out of the chambers afterward, one by one, to shake his hand, hug him and thank him for speaking his mind. In general, support in favor of the corridor update has, so far, been relatively quiet in public meetings. Gail Jack, one of the cofounders of Affordable Housing Now, likes the rezoning idea, although she concedes her task force hasn’t always put together a big showing on the issue. It’s easier to mobilize group members to speak out in favor of tighter Airbnb regulations, she says. (That’s an item that’s coming to the planning commission in late June.) Jack is unfamiliar with YIMBYs, in Santa Cruz or anywhere else. But she’s intrigued by the idea and hopes to learn more, although she says Affordable Housing Now has never really made an effort to cater to young professionals. “Our focus is to have enough housing for people who live here and whose kids live here and who want to stay here,” Jack says. “And for workers who drive long hours—we can get

As fans of both the San Lorenzo River and the Santa Cruz art scene prepare for Ebb and Flow’s June kickoff (see cover story, page 18), the Coastal Watershed Council is wasting no time looking into whether or not efforts to get more people to enjoy the river are actually working. The council released the data in May with its annual Riverwalk Usage Study report. Since 2014, council volunteers have observed and tracked the activities of thousands of riverwalk visitors as they bike, stroll, skateboard, and run along the city’s longest park. “There are fewer people using the riverwalk,” says Alev

Bilginsoy, Coastal Watershed Council river scientist, adding that they’ve noticed a 20 percent decrease in visitors between summers in 2015 and 2016. Bilginsoy adds that the decrease may be loosely linked to more sunny days in 2015. “The study began in a drought year,” says Bilginsoy. “That means consistently better weather, which invites more people outdoors.” And although there was a decrease in biking and walking from 2015 to 2016, that doesn’t show the whole picture. Leisurely activities like dog walking, running, and skateboarding all increased along the river levee paths over that year. The watershed council reported a 26 percent increase

in the number of visitors who choose to relax in the park since the study began in 2014. So while fewer folks appear to be visiting the riverwalk, those who do seem to spend more time hanging out. June was the busiest time for the riverwalk last year— perhaps an indicator that it’s a great time for a public art event like Ebb and Flow. Or maybe it’s a sign that the celebration is working. Volunteers counted 98 percent of people engaged in “positive activities”—a slight increase from previous years— and only 2 percent engaged in negative ones like camping, drinking and drug use. And on the note of positivity, the Coastal Watershed Council

launched a campaign on Wednesday, May 24 to try and reduce the amount of contaminants that run into the river. Greg Pepping, the nonprofit’s executive director, is asking people to pick up after their pet waste immediately, even in their own backyards, and keep their gutters dry of harmful contaminants. He also suggests people get their sewer connectors checked, because any outflow failure on the line runs off into the river, and the city has announced an ordinance to require homeowners to do it when they buy or sell a house. “There’s not a treatment plant for runoff,” Pepping says.

REMAINS OF THE DAY <11 beetles—visit the body at reliably specific stages. These phases signal clues as to the time of death. Beetles, Galloway says, are among the last creatures to show up, as they prefer consuming the “drier, leathery flesh.” “She’s not only an expert. She’s also a very good storyteller,” says Heather Moffat McCoy, executive director of the Museum of Natural History, which hosts a speaker series to welcome scientists like Galloway. “I think this topic in itself is fascinating, but I also think she’ll share it in a wonderful way.” McCoy says the museum’s mission is to connect people to the natural world. That’s something they strive for in various programs, from teaching kids how animals

move in nature to more “adult programming” like Galloway’s upcoming talk. Galloway began her career in archaeology. As she excavated artifacts and tools from dig sites in the American Southwest and Ethiopia, she felt most fascinated by bones. Soon she met a forensic anthropologist, and her path was forged. Once she completes her sabbatical this year, Galloway plans to return to teaching courses in forensic anthropology and skeletal biology at UCSC. Galloway realizes the career she’s chosen often gets dramatized on crime-centric television shows, creating misconceptions about what it is forensic anthropologists actually do. “In a lot of crime shows, the anthropologist is heavily involved in the

investigation, running around interviewing people,” says Galloway. “We don’t do that. We don’t carry a gun or go looking for serial killers in the middle of the night. It’s just not what we do.” Instead, Galloway interviews the skeleton—the body its own miniature ecosystem. But to get there, she has to get past the flesh. “To put it politely, we have to extract the skeleton,” says Galloway. “It’s not a pleasant process,” she adds. First, she must “deflesh” the skeleton, cutting away gobs of soft tissue. Then, she sets the bones in an incubator, which loosens up any remaining flesh that can be washed away. This process, she adds, is often left out of crime drama shows. One case, she recalls, ended with a full confession from the killer.

“I had drawn my conclusions,” says Galloway, “when just before we went to trial, they asked, ‘Would you like to hear his confession?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I would!’” In it, the killer had detailed every bit of damage, explaining how he’d cut through the victim’s chest and twisted her neck. The details of the confession matched Galloway’s conclusions exactly—“I could literally go down and link an injury to everything he said he’d done,” she says.

Alison Galloway’s June 6 presentation at the Rio Theatre is part of the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History’s twice-annual speaker series, where researchers from different scientific disciplines share their work in engaging and accessible ways. Tickets are $15-$30.

planning staffers do hope to send to the council before then is the rezoning of Pacific Avenue, south of Cathcart Street. Those changes could pave the way for two symbiotic projects: METRO’s plan for a new bus station with housing on top of it and plans for a similar mixed-use project next door. The city’s already gearing up for that effort. Mayor Cynthia Chase, who’s made housing a stated priority in her one-year term, spoke at the State of the City breakfast on Tuesday, May 23. The housing crisis became that morning’s recurring theme. “I’ve talked to folks across this community who say that they own their homes, and then the next thing out of their mouth is, ‘But I could never buy my home now.’ That really demonstrates our challenge,” she said. Chase called on residents and business owners to get involved on the issue. City Manager Martín Bernal took to the podium next, elaborating on the city’s housing approach, followed by Economic Development Director Bonnie Lipscomb, who discussed the city’s economic strategies, as well as the METRO housing proposal, displaying a 2015 rendering of the idea. The City Council has made housing one of its top priorities for the year, and included new units downtown as part of its calculus. Although Jack supports corridor improvements, she says Affordable Housing Now will have to look at how much affordable housing the downtown projects promise before taking a stance. Lipscomb tells GT that the plan is to make the entire METRO project affordable with a mix of income levels, including some workforce housing. It’s too early, though, for staffers to send out requests for proposals. Owen Lawlor, one of the developers on the adjacent property, says the team is still configuring the setup and housing breakdown. They’ll wait for the rezone before they submit any plans. “We can’t support more development downtown if it doesn’t include affordable housing,” Jack says, “and not just apartments or condos, or whatever for the wealthy. That’s not going to do it for us.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

Royal Paw Spa Certified groomer Kaila Tabasz faces more challenges washing, cutting and styling her clients than she might if they had two legs instead of four, but she still wants her customers to feel and look their best. At Royal Paw Spa, her pet grooming business in Aptos, she strives to create a comfortable and safe environment for dogs of all shapes, sizes and special needs.

A longtime dog lover, Tabasz began volunteering at the Santa Cruz SPCA in late 2011. In 2012 she began bathing pets at PetSmart as she prepared to apply for a paralegal position. Before long, she realized she had stopped applying for jobs at law firms. She decided to become a certified groomer. In 2015 she opened the doors to Royal Paw Spa with the help of a loan she received from Santa Cruz Community Credit Union. After maxing out her finances to open the doors, the loan allowed her to pay expenses after her business opened. “Royal

Now, visitors are greeted by Tabasz’s dog, Willie, a 9-pound Doxin-Chihuahua mix she rescued from the side of the road in Hollister. “He’s my business partner, supervisor, marketing director and receptionist,” she says. A “cage optional” space, dogs can choose to relax on one of the dog beds, play with toys, have a drink of water or lay by her feet while they wait for their humans. She also has customized equipment to relieve joint pain and assist balance for aging or injured animals so they can maintain their dignity and prevent self-injury during grooming. Perhaps the most frequent request she receives is to relieve animals of the shed fur trapped in their coat. “Huskies, Newfoundlands and heelers are very popular in Santa Cruz, and they’re super furry. When they come to see me, they leave all of that here instead of in the carpet.” She also points out that shedding can be just as major an issue for smaller dogs as larger breeds. “Pugs and Corgis shed just as much as heelers and shepherds,” she points out.

A clean and attractive pet isn’t the only reason to go to a certified groomer regularly, she adds; it’s also important to maintaining a pet’s health. Tabasz looks over the skin and coat of her clients “inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter” as she grooms them, and has on more than one occasion notified owners of a potential health issue. Once, she noticed that a Shih Tzu had lost a significant amount of weight between visits, while the owner hadn’t noticed the gradual decline. Tabasz was able to catch it so the owner could alert their vet, potentially extending the dog’s life during a serious health issue. One of the most important tools of her trade is cultivating a relationship of trust between herself, her clients and the owners. “It takes patience,” she explains, “especially if they are new to grooming or have had a stressful grooming experience.” As she says this, she remarks that the 30-pound Labradoodle she’s been grooming during our interview was once one of her more difficult clients, but during this session he’s been very quiet and relaxed. “It’s so rewarding when the dogs respond well.”

“Most dogs don’t enjoy grooming, but my clients pull their owner toward the door,” says Tabasz. “That’s the most important thing for me—that the dog looks forward to coming back after their first appointment.”

This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ebb and Flow celebrates the slow-butsteady revival of the San Lorenzo River amid continued challenges to its sustainability BY BRENDAN BANE

ne night three years ago, a group of roughly 10 people spilled onto Front Street from the Museum of Art and History, leaving the sound of music and cheering behind them. More followed, and soon a stream of bodies poured onto Soquel Avenue, bottlenecking as the crowd squeezed

close to cross the bridge. Once on the other side, they pooled at the edge of the San Lorenzo River, one stream of life and purpose joining another. That was the first Ebb and Flow, a series of events put on by local nonprofits to encourage Santa Cruz citizens to get better acquainted

with the San Lorenzo River. It began with live music and dancing at the Museum of Art and History, and ended with the unveiling of new art installations and a movie projected onto the underside of the Soquel Avenue bridge. This weekend, Ebb and Flow returns for its third year, with

events ranging from scientist-led tours to a kinetic art parade, where participants unveil moving, riverinspired sculptures. These events mark an ongoing effort from groups like the Coastal Watershed Council, the San Lorenzo River Alliance, the Tannery Arts Center and others to enhance the Santa Cruz community’s

relationship with its primary water supply, and to gather support for its stewardship. But are these events enough to inspire a healthy relationship between a community and its river, and how much work remains to restore a watershed that its stewards describe as “abused for over hundreds of years?”

When a series of winter storms peaked on Feb. 7, office workers in Downtown Santa Cruz witnessed something no one had seen in decades: the San Lorenzo River rose to nearly 24 feet, reaching its largest volume since 1982. Laurie Egan, outreach and development manager for the Coastal Watershed Council, first heard about the impending storms from her boss, Greg Pepping. “He had just moved near the river,” says Egan, “and that morning he told me, ‘My house might flood today. I have to run home to make sure I have sandbags.’” Egan rushed downtown later that day to join hundreds who had left their offices to see the river. “We saw folks from downtown businesses, and kids with their parents coming home from school,” says Egan, who joked that the council should have set up a table in the rain to field questions on the river. “It was a really cool draw for the whole community to come out in the middle of their work day and see the river like no one had seen it before.” Pepping’s house, along with the rest of downtown, did not flood. Egan says this past winter’s storms were the first time the river’s levees were truly tested, and, thanks to their design and the city’s earlier efforts to clear debris from beneath the Water Street bridge, everything went as planned. “The river kept rising, rising, rising, and it spilled into San Lorenzo Park, just as it was designed to do,” she says. The storms induced mudslides, toppled trees onto Highway 17, and caused mountain roads to crumble into the earth. But they also marked the end of California’s drought, which Gov. Jerry Brown declared over the following month. And it signaled some recovery for the San Lorenzo River watershed, though city officials say years of water deprivation can’t be undone so quickly. “As far as I can tell, the storms have really helped,” says Chris

Berry, the city of Santa Cruz’s watershed compliance manager. According to Berry, rushing winter waters flushed fine sand downstream, making way for coarser gravel, which means better habitat for fish. Species like coho and steelhead that swim upstream from the river’s mouth prefer to lay their eggs in coarse sand, as fine silt tends to smother their offspring. This past summer, Berry says his group logged the highest count of steelhead in the San Lorenzo River lagoon since they began counting in 2008. “We know it’s a good year when we have so many fish that we can’t count them all.” But the rains weren’t solely good, he adds, as coho that traveled into the San Lorenzo River earlier in the season likely had their eggs flushed out prematurely. And fish who attempted to wait out the storm before depositing their eggs may have waited too long, ultimately having to ditch their eggs before reaching the quiet pools they normally rely on. The coho salmon population in the San Lorenzo is still far below healthy levels, he says. John Ricker, water resources program coordinator for Santa Cruz County, shares similarly mixed results on the county’s water supply. “The recent rainfall is great,” says Ricker, “but it hasn’t recovered what we’ve lost over the last 30 years.”

BENEATH THE SURFACE Though the river’s rising height may imply surplus, it’s a different story beneath the soil that lines its course. There, deep beneath the ground, are aquifers: sections of porous rock that store groundwater. The whole Scotts Valley area depends entirely upon groundwater, says Ricker, and the San Lorenzo River receives 40 percent of its water from those same aquifers. Usually, rainwater trickles through permeable soils and drains into the earth, eventually finding its way to the aquifers, where it can later be extracted. But when that soil is paved over with asphalt or other impermeable materials,

TOO MANY STRAWS Berry, however, is concerned that Santa Cruz citizens are adding demand to what he describes as an over-appropriated “working watershed.” “The river has a long history of insults and abuse. And let’s face it, it’s been developed since the 1800s,” says Berry, referencing the river’s history of overfishing, clear-cutting trees to rebuild San Francisco, and general industrialization over the past 150 years. Today, says Berry, the river is more appropriated than ever. Cabins meant for summer-use only are now occupied year-round, new sections along the river are being developed, and an agricultural newcomer to the Santa Cruz Mountains could further exacerbate the issue. “We have a huge, new industry that just moved into the watershed in the recent past, meaning commercial cannabis cultivation,” says Berry. Compared to wine, Berry says marijuana is a “thirstier crop” than grapevines. But he’s quick to acknowledge that the problem isn’t cannabis specifically—it’s a matter of adding one straw too many. “There’s too many straws in too small a bucket. Unfortunately, with the commercial cannabis industry’s

the water never makes its way through, instead flowing off roads and parking lots, where it erodes hillsides. Much of those surfaces throughout Scotts Valley have been paved over, says Ricker. Despite the challenges, Ricker is hopeful that the county is moving toward sustainable management of its water resources. In 2014, Gov. Brown signed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act into legislation, which put the onus on local agencies to work toward better management of their groundwater resources. Before the legislation, Ricker says groundwater regulation was something out of the Wild West. “You have to get a permit from the state to extract surface water, and it’s been that way for 100 years,” says Ricker. “But with groundwater, it took them 100 years to reach the same level of regulatory oversight.” Though they haven’t yet settled on a recovery plan, Ricker’s group is looking down several avenues, the first of which entails “conjunctive use.” Ricker says that under this strategy, the city would draw water from varying sources, depending on where it’s most available. In the winter, the city would draw from surface water when those levels are higher. During summer, relying on groundwater storage would leave more surface water for fish. Ricker’s team has even retrofitted some Scotts Valley parking lots to make them permeable, allowing more water to pass through and into aquifers below. He encourages private landowners to similarly avoid laying pavement on their property, instead opting for gravel roads and driveways.

<21 growth, we’re adding even more straws to that, and that’s a challenge.” Like Ricker, Berry’s team is working toward sustainable management of our water supply. His team is only just beginning to develop a suite of conservation strategies, from purchasing and invalidating unused water rights to working with private landowners to better manage their riverside property. Berry advises individuals to clean up their pet waste—as bacteria can wash into the river—to allow native vegetation to grow wild in their yards, and to call the city before removing logjams from the river, as they provide prime habitat for fish. “I’m feeling pretty good about the local energy,” says Berry. “People in Santa Cruz have a pretty strong environmental ethic, and they want to manage their resources locally. That’s why I enjoy working here.”

CITIZEN SCIENTISTS “I found fungi,” shouts a bodiless voice from behind the bushes lining the banks of the San Lorenzo River. “Where’s the fungus expert?” It’s Earth Day, three years since Ebb and Flow began, and all but a crowd of roughly 20 people have disappeared into the riverside vegetation. They’ve gathered to participate in a BioBlitz: a creaturecounting event put on by the Coastal Watershed Council and the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, where participants photograph and log living organisms, from saplings to spiders. “The BioBlitz is one of the many ways the Coastal Watershed Council uses citizen science to engage the community with the environment around them,” says Laurie Egan, who helped find animal experts to join the hunt. “It’s a chance to put on your naturalist hat and see what it’s like to identify the birds and bugs and bees along the river, and to get a sense of how diverse this ecosystem is right in our own backyard.” Plot by plot, they part grass blades and bend tree branches to catch a glimpse of creatures both big and small. Margo Ross, a kindergarten

teacher at Tierra Pacifica Charter School, pulls a piece of wood aside to reveal a white mushroom sprouting from light, sandy soil. An iPhone emerges, its camera shuttering audibly, and the mushroom is uploaded. The days of the San Lorenzo River being rich with fish may be gone. But, with the aid of a smartphone, it’s clear that the river is still teeming with life. Attendees of the BioBlitz are using iNaturalist: an app designed to map sightings of living things. iNaturalist began as a collaborative project between students at UC Berkeley and Stanford, and was adopted by the California Academy of Sciences in 2014 in an effort to harness the power of citizen scientists. If the image users uploads are sufficiently detailed, researchers use them to track changes in plant and animal populations. Open the app near San Lorenzo Park and you’ll find dozens of colored markers, each depicting a sighting. Images on the app show hawks perched on parking meters, gophers peeking out from underground tunnels, and spiders dancing across people’s palms. Once the day was over, the group had logged more than 260 sightings, comprising more than 80 species. The BioBlitz marks just one event put on by the Watershed Council and other nonprofits in an effort to get the Santa Cruz community to be better engaged with the river. Similarly, the Santa Cruz County Arts Council is trying a different route: art installations. Each year, the council offers grants to local artists to erect riverthemed art along the San Lorenzo Riverwalk. From oversized fishing poles to a large sculpture wrapped in fishing rope, the Arts Council hopes these pieces will inspire conversation about the river. “The idea is to bring people to a place where, typically, they don’t feel safe,” says Michelle Williams, executive director of the Arts Council. “But with hundreds of us, it’s going to be awesome. Once

you’ve been on the riverwalk at night with 200 other people, you’re going to feel differently about it.” The art continues beyond the riverwalk, with a river-focused installation in the Museum of Art and History’s Atrium. There, an interactive screen depicts waters of the San Lorenzo River. Trace your finger across its screen, and large, historical images of the river project onto the museum wall. Williams hopes these pieces not only inspire conversation, but also bring bodies onto the riverwalk. Ultimately, she hopes that river-facing businesses on Front Street—a recent topic of discussion to emerge from the March 17 Riverwalk Engagement Summit, where environmental groups and local government gathered to discuss the progress of the riverwalk—will bring even greater attention. “I feel like our backs, as buildings and as people,” says Williams, “have been turned to the river. Both literally and metaphorically, we need to turn back toward it.”

Back near the Soquel Avenue bridge, Jane Mio hones the focus of her monocular. Her gaze is fixed on bushes just beneath the bridge. There, perched on a swaying branch, is a large hawk. “So many of us think we have to get in the car or on our bikes to travel to some place to be with nature, to get that peaceful moment.” says Mio, who regularly leads birding tours as the conservation officer of the Santa Cruz Bird Club. “But if we really took care of the river, we could have that right here,” she says, shifting her gaze further upstream. Mio often works with the Valley Women’s Group to clear invasive vegetation from the lower river, making way for native plants that bring more cover and cooler waters for fish. That vegetation, combined with a recent uptick in the amount of water flowing through the lower

portion of San Lorenzo River, say city officials, could mean better rearing conditions for fish in the summertime. When Mio first moved to Santa Cruz in 1972, she recalls seeing fishermen standing shoulder to shoulder along the river’s edge, adding to the already tall piles of fish at their feet. She remembers that the river was different then, when even snakes and lizards seemed more plentiful. “I’m not sure we’ll ever get back to that,” says Alev Bilginsoy, river scientist at the Coastal Watershed Council, acknowledging that those days may long be gone. She adds, however, that the Santa Cruz community is better served by focusing on the present moment. “I think it’s important for people to look past that, and to allow themselves to have a new, authentic experience of this ecosystem. It’s still here, it’s still thriving, it’s just evolved in a way that may seem unfamiliar, but that’s even more reason for people to go out and explore it.” With much work left to do, the task of restoring the San Lorenzo watershed may seem overwhelming to some. Mio is discouraged by the prospect of more development along the river, though she draws inspiration from the very creatures that dwell there. She turns her gaze to the cliff swallows, which migrate thousands of miles from South America to build their mud houses under the bellies of our bridges. Mouthful by mouthful, Mio says, the birds scoop up gobs of mud, mix it with their saliva, and use the material to build their muddy, dome-shaped nests beneath the bridges. Just one nest can take 500 trips, she says. Mio recently visited her grandson’s class to teach the natural history of native birds, and told them of the cliff swallow’s ironclad will. “So many times the kids say, ‘I can’t do this, I can’t do that.’ I tell them, ‘Look how small these birds are, and how big you are. Those little birds never say they can’t do it. They just do it.’”

and figuratively lived close to the flames, though not always by his own choice. That power and strength were reflected not only in the works that comprised “Chi: A Family Divided,” but in his entire oeuvre. And it is those qualities that are center stage in what is being dubbed as Ikemoto’s “Last Show,” to be held at the Cabrillo College Gallery (in the Library Building), this coming Friday through Sunday (June 2-4), from noon to 5 p.m. The exhibition (and sale) of Ikemoto’s life work—coordinated by Jeanne Ikemoto, the artist’s wife of 24 years and mother of his two daughters, Ami Ikemoto and Reiko Joseph—includes dozens of pieces ranging from small drawings, to prints, watercolor landscapes and large-scale impressionistic oils. The exhibit also includes some remaining works from “Chi: A Family Divided.” It’s a remarkable collection. The one element missing—and hence the title of the exhibit—is Ikemoto himself. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with acute dementia, and he is now confined to a residential treatment center in Southern California. His spirit, however, is present in every piece on display, along with his intense artistic vision. Ikemoto was born into a JapaneseAmerican family in Sacramento that earned its way in the waning days of the Great Depression by farming the rich soils of the Central Valley and running a small grocery store and hotel. It was in the fall of 1940—still more than a year before the U.S. joined World War II—that an employee from the McClellan Air Force Base walked into the Ikemoto store and boldly announced to Ikemoto’s father that the so-called “dummy” bombs used by the Air Force planes at McClellan were being replaced by the real thing. “If Japan and America get into a war,” he added menacingly, “I’m coming back to kill you and your family.” That threat would have a profound impact on Ikemoto’s parents and his six siblings for the rest of their lives. Worried about the impending war and the growing hostility

directed at Japanese Americans in the Sacramento Valley, Ikemoto’s father decided to send his three eldest children to live with his parents in the small village of Shozuko, on the main island of Honshu, only 30 miles from Hiroshima, where the first atomic bomb was dropped in August of 1945. They weren’t allowed to reunite with their family in the U.S. until the early 1950s. Back in Sacramento, the remaining members of the Ikemoto clan were facing a terrifying, surreal ordeal of their own. In May of 1942, the Ikemotos—including their threeyear-old son Howard—were declared “enemy aliens” and sent off to the Tule Lake concentration camp, near the California-Oregon border, where they were to remain imprisoned by their own government until the spring of 1946. One of the ways that Ikemoto confronted this dark personal history, he told me, was by drawing. And since he spoke only Japanese prior to reentering elementary school after the war, art provided him with a means of communication. He later studied art at Sacramento City and San Jose State colleges, and shortly thereafter began his teaching career at Cabrillo, first in 1966, and after a few years of soul-searching in Japan, again in 1970. He emphasized to me that he considered teaching an art form, too. The legion of students who respected, admired and were inspired by Ikemoto remain part of his legacy, along with his art. “We call the exhibit a benefit toward Howard’s care,” says Jeanne Ikemoto, “but I’ve realized that the overwhelming show of support for the exhibit has made it a benefit for the community, too. It’s a way of bringing people together whom Howard impacted through his teaching. And the sale allows people to keep a little piece of Howard with them. The hope is that we find a home for every piece of Howard’s work.” ‘Howard Ikemoto: The Last Show’ runs Friday thru Sunday, June 2-4, noon to 5 p.m. at Cabrillo College Gallery, Cabrillo College, Library Building, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos.

First Crack

As Cracker headlines the Redwood Mountain Faire, happy birthday to their debut album BY STEVE PALOPOLI didn’t have a chorus. “And then it was like, if we do a ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ song, maybe it’ll get played when people need to play a happy birthday song. If you think about the rest of the song, it doesn’t have anything to do with a birthday. So I’m trying to figure out a chorus, and I go ‘Is this too dumb?’” The gist of the response from the band, says Lowery, was “Well, kind of, but kind of not.” He took it as a green light. Strangely enough, his hunch that it could turn into a semi-official birthday song—despite lines like “I remember you/You drive like a PTA mother” and “Sometimes I wish I were Catholic/I don’t know why”— seems to have been on the money. “We get royalties for public

performance, and ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ is hands down the winner on that album,” says Lowery. There’s been an interesting bigger shift since the album was released; at that time, the unofficial single “Teen Angst,” with its AlternativeNation-anthem chorus “What the world needs now/Is another folk singer/Like I need a hole in my head” was the song that got all of the attention. (It’s probably also the song that got Lowery branded a diehard cynic, a tag that continued to dog him after Cracker found platinum-selling success with their next record, 1993’s Kerosene Hat, and its singles like “Low,” “Get off This” and “Eurotrash Girl.” Fans of Camper Van Beethoven, however, were more likely to recognize Lowery’s love

Cracker plays on Saturday, June 3 at the Redwood Mountain Faire at Roaring Camp, 5401 Graham Hill Road in Felton. The festival runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 3-4. Sunday’s headliners are Dave and Phil Alvin with the Guilty Men. Tickets are $25 per day; redwoodmountainfaire.com.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017

ometimes when you’re making an album that’s destined to be a rock classic, you have to take the time to stop and ask, “Hey guys, is this too dumb?” “I mean, literally, that was a question that was asked,” says David Lowery, frontman for Cracker, about the writing of “Happy Birthday to Me,” a song off the band’s self-titled debut album. This year is the 25th anniversary of that record, which began the second act of Lowery’s career after the break-up of Camper Van Beethoven two years earlier, at the height of their run as one of the most successful bands ever to come out of the Santa Cruz music scene. Lowery recalls that one of the songs he was working on at the time

of writing flawed and sometimes downright unlikeable characters as first-person narrators, à la “All Her Favorite Fruit,” “Tania” and a number of other Camper classics.) Over time, however, it’s the weirder songs off of Cracker that have eclipsed “Teen Angst” as fan favorites and proven to have the most staying power, like the datingnightmare-a-thon “Mr. Wrong,” the Southern Gothic “Dr. Bernice” (Baby, don’t you drive around with Dr. Bernice/She’s not a lady doctor at all”) and, of course, “Happy Birthday to Me”—which in fact was promoted to a final encore number for some shows on the band’s recent tour of Spain. It’s fitting that the oddest songs on Cracker would eventually be the record’s legacy, since the band was an odd project to begin with. Since it sold 200,000 copies and Cracker went on to be far more popular than Camper ever was, it’s easy to forget that making what was basically a country-rock record was not considered by anyone to be a surefire way to blaze up the charts. “It was really, really not obvious that that was going to be successful, or even be a non-harmful career move,” says Lowery. “I think that’s the best way to put it. It wasn’t even clear that it was going to be an innocuous failure. It could have been a bad failure.” The results, however, affirmed the path that he and lead guitarist Johnny Hickman—the childhood friend with whom he formed Cracker shortly after Camper broke up—had chosen: something completely different than Lowery’s previous band. “The thing that people probably would have preferred us to do or expected us to do is what in retrospect would have been the worst thing for us, which was to do sort of a Camper Van Beethoven ‘Mark II’—to quote Spinal Tap. I think that would have fucking destroyed us. It would have been an insult to a band both Johnny and I loved.”

Why blues-rock duo Little Hurricane micromanage how their music gets into listeners’ ears BY CAT JOHNSON

nthony "Tone" Catalano and Celeste "C.C." Spina have an unusual approach to making records. The two members of the indieblues-rock duo Little Hurricane record everything, including their improvisational jams and band practices. That way, when inspiration strikes, or something magical happens, they can include the moment on their next record. For some musicians, doing doubleduty as artist and engineer is too much—they’d rather just focus on the music, so they have someone else engineer their recordings. But

Catalano—who plays guitar, handles vocals, and does the engineering— loves it. “That’s my favorite part,” he says, explaining that doing the recording himself minimizes the distance between a song’s conception and how it appears on a record. “There are a lot of links in the chain as far as getting a song out of the musician’s head and into the heads of people who listen to the music,” he says. “It can be shortened by the musician actually recording their own music.” Catalano lived in Scotts Valley, went to high school at Monte Vista in Watsonville, and attended

Cabrillo College before relocating to San Diego with a previous band in 2004. That band didn’t last long, but Catalano stayed and started doing studio work with sound engineers and other artists. After several years, he decided to “follow the music” and get back into a band. He went on Craigslist looking for a drummer and found Celeste "C.C." Spina. A tight and creative drummer, Spina has what Catalano describes as a “fresh energy about music.”. “She has this really cool perspective on rhythm that’s hard to describe,” he says. “She hits the drums very hard, but there’s definitely a feminine feel to it. There

are subtleties in her drumming that I really like.” Catalano will bring Spina a song idea, and the two work together to finish it. The duo, whose sound is driving, edgy, catchy and simple, draws comparisons to Dead Weather and the Black Keys. Their new album Same Sun Same Moon sees Catalano and Spina building on their blues-rock roots to create a broader sound, while maintaining the gritty, musical minimalism that has made Little Hurricane a standout in Southern California. Catalano and Spina hit it off immediately musically, in large part because they both grew up playing in jazz bands—Spina in her native Chicago, and Catalano in Santa Cruz area bands, including the Kuumbwa Jazz Band with other musicians from local high schools. Initially, the two would just jam together on blues riffs, building on their early training. “I remember having a lot of fun in jazz band,” Catalano says, “and being able to improvise the moods and emotions that jazz and blues have that you can’t get with power chords or straight rock music or pop music.” Those jam session evolved into the Little Hurricane sound, which continues to move forward as the two push themselves and each other to become better musicians and more efficient storytellers. “We don’t want to get too complex, where we need a bunch of backing musicians,” says Catalano. “We still want the songs to stand with just guitar and drums and vocals. It’s a constant challenge to outdo ourselves. Our sound is the same, but we’re progressing, if that makes sense.” As Catalano and Spina continue to carve a musical path of their own, Catalano notes that it was that decision, made years ago, to follow where the music would lead, that brought the duo to where they are now. “You can plan your life only so much, because it takes over at some point,” he says, explaining that just days ago they were in Paris eating croissants. “I was thinking, ‘I would never be here,’” recalls Catalano, “‘if I didn’t take a leap of faith and decide I should find a drummer.’” Little Hurricane will perform at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 31 at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $13/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

LOCAL BAND

DECREPIT BIRTH “I would say preparing for the tour after three years was a little nerve wracking,” says Santa Cruz native Matt Sotelo. “When you’re touring more often, you’re more in the zone.” The guitarist is referring to the three-year hiatus of his band, local death metal act Decrepit Birth. Earlier this year, they hit the road again, hyping their first new record in seven years, Axis Mundi, to be released on July 21.

MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“The reaction to our new songs live has been more positive than any other in the past,” he says. “They were written to be more live-friendly anyway, so that doesn’t surprise me.”

While the band officially started in 2001, the origins of Decrepit Birth can be traced back further than that. Locals might remember seeing them play house shows on the east side of town as far back as 1995, before blast beats and technical guitar riffs in metal went mainstream. In 2003, the band dropped its debut album, . . . And Time Begins, a brutal release of straight-up death metal with crunching songs and guttural vocals. But after the release of their third full-length, Polarity, Decrepit Birth decided a break was in order. For Axis Mundi, Sotelo, singer Bill Robinson—also a Santa Cruz native— drummer Samus, and bassist Sean Martinez, knew they wanted to do something different. The result is a hybrid of what Decrepit Birth has done in the past with chaotic and experimental technical death metal riffs, and a return to the genre’s roots with songs like “Epigenetic Triplicity,” a 250-beats-perminute assault on the senses.

JAYME STONE

THURSDAY 6/1 COUNTRY

JACKIE LEE Hailing from Maryville, Tennessee, Jackie Lee is one of the rising stars of pop-country music. The baby-faced artist grew up singing in church with his three-piece band and listening to his dad’s classic country music. But Lee’s mom had a soft spot for ’80s pop music, and exposed the young Lee to artists like Michael Jackson and Phil Collins. Lee’s first foray into the Nashville music machine was as a straight-ahead country artist, but after his mom’s death in 2016, he did some soul-searching and decided to bring more of his influences into his music. The result is radio-friendly country music accented with electronics and what’s been dubbed a “modern sound.” CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 423-1338.

FUNK

ELEKTRIC VOODOO In many ways, San Diego’s music scene mirrors that of Santa Cruz’s.

For instance, both cities loves good solid live dance music. Elektric Voodoo is a new band out of the great laidback southern California city that featuring lots of local faces people entrenched in the scene down there will be familiar with. The members have played with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, G-Love, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. The band takes a lot of popular styles (blues, funk, swirling psychedelic rock, Latin music) and casually blends it together into a fun, feel-good, positive-vibe-filled package.

FOLK/FUSION

JAYME STONE’S FOLKLIFE If you’ve been around folk music for any length of time, you’ve likely heard the name Alan Lomax. An ethnomusicologist, folklorist, archivist, musician, activist and more, Lomax captured and preserved countless field recordings from the early to mid-20th century. On Thursday, Jayme Stone, who’s been dubbed “the Yo-Yo Ma of the banjo,” and his mu-

sical collaborative pay tribute to the Lomax legacy by reworking a number of songs from the Lomax collection, including Appalachian ballads, work songs, a cappella singing from Georgia’s Sea Islands and Bahamian sea shanties. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $27/door. 427-2227.

FRIDAY 6/2 CELTIC

WAKE THE DEAD Tired of the same old cover bands? Then Wake the Dead is here to let the songs fill the air with a unique twist. Since the year 2000, the seven-piece jam band has covered everyone’s favorite Grateful Dead songs—along with classic, 1960s standards—with Celtic flavor, turning the twirling Deadhead dances into Irish jigs. The Bay Area band is touring off its fourth album, Deal, which was actually one of two records it released last year. So light a candle for St. Stephen, adorn your hair with scarlet begonias and get those chips cashed in to keep on truckin’ this Friday at the Kuumbwa.

MONDAY 6/5 JAZZ

JEAN-LUC PONTY

The Itals were one of the great multi-vocal, roots reggae harmony groups in the ’70s, though not as huge as many of the household names from that time. They really found their footing in the ’80s when the easy-grooving, Rasta-loving reggae sounds were being replaced by aggressive, hip-hop-influenced dancehall. The Itals were one of the key groups that helped keep the reggae flame lit during that time. They continue to do so to this day. Ancestree Reggae opens. AC

When French violinist Jean-Luc Ponty appeared on the jazz scene in the late 1960s, the instrument hadn’t contributed anything new to the genre for more than a generation. Plugging in, the conservatory-trained master muscled his way into era-defining jazz/rock fusion bands like John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra, while blowing away rock and pop audiences with Frank Zappa and Elton John. On this tour, the 74-year-old innovator is revisiting some of the ambitious compositions from his prolific Atlantic years (circa 1975-85) with some of the players who recorded with him in the 1980s, including keyboardist Wally Minko, guitarist Jamie Glaser, bassist Baron Browne, and drummer Rayford Griffin (a nephew of trumpet legend Clifford Brown).

One of the finest songwriters of our time, Jesse Colin Young has been singing about social justice, peace and the environment for the last 50 years. An Americana artist before Americana was a thing, Young fuses American roots music with rock, blues, folk and jazz—even bringing horn players into his band—to create a genre-transcending sound of his own. And holding the whole thing together is Colin’s honest, enduring voice. CJ

released last September, and is the solo creation of Grant van der Spek, originally from South Africa, and lover of all things rock, as well as crazy waking dream sub-realities and drum machines.

FILM

GOLDEN AGE ‘Buena Vista Social Club: Adios’ continues the stories of the once-forgotten Cuban musicians behind the timeless album and nightclub of the same name.

MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Flowers Of Life

Buena Vista Social Club revisited in ‘Adios’

he original Buena Vista Social Club, directed by Wim Wenders and released in 1998, was a nonstop ode to joy. It charted the amazing story of a handful of veteran Afro-Cuban musicians—many of them already in their 70s and 80s—assembled in Havana to record an album with American slide guitar virtuoso Ry Cooder. Which, improbably, led them all to international stardom when the album and Wenders’ Oscar-nominated film about its production became huge hits. If you never saw the first film, the sequel, The Buena Vista Social Club: Adios, is a lively introduction to these once-forgotten musicians

and their incredible journey. For fans of the original, there’s not a lot of new material here; in fact, a lot of the footage seems to have been repurposed from film shot for the first movie. What is new this time around is the continuing stories of these intrepid singers and players in the intervening two decades of international acclaim. But this also means the film has an elegiac tone, as suggested by its subtitle. Directed by Lucy Walker, the new film introduces Juan de Marcos Gonzalez, who was Cooder’s producer and point man in Havana, helping him assemble the Cuban talent. In the opening sequence, Gonzalez leads the camera to the site of the original

BY LISA JENSEN

Buena Vista Social Club, much of it now patio between buildings; he has to duck under laundry on clotheslines to get to it. But it was once a thriving nightclub and dance hall for black Cubans, back in the segregated 1940s and ’50s, referred to as “the Golden Era of Cuban music.” One of the few benefits of the dictatorship of Batista, notes one interviewee, is that he built a lot of casinos in Havana (with an influx of American gangster money) so musicians had a lot of places to perform. All of which changed after Castro’s revolution, when relations with the Western world ceased and Cuba became the island that time forgot. The passage of time is one of

Walker’s major themes. Early on, we get a brief history of Cuba, from the destruction of the indigenous people by Spanish expeditions and the importation of Africans as slaves, to the birth of percussive, passionate Afro-Cuban music (called “son” by its practitioners). Born in the eastern highlands, son music spread across the entire island over the radio in the 1920s. But when diplomatic relations ended in 1960, so did the tourist trade; the casinos closed, opportunities for musicians dried up, and many of the most respected players had to quit the scene and take non-musical jobs to survive. Ibrahim Ferrer, with his impish demeanor and angel’s voice, was reduced to shining shoes. Pianist extraordinaire Rubén González describes how termites literally ate his piano, so long unused. Still, as guitar maestro Compay Segundo says, “For Cubans, music is our food. When we go through tough times, we create new styles.” There’s a lot more information here on each individual musician’s biography and performing history—and lots of terrific vintage black-and-white footage of these performers in their heyday. We see kinescopes of the young Ferrer in the early ’60s as a backup singer to a popular Cuban TV performer who never gave him a chance to sing a solo. Regal diva Omara Portuondo is seen singing and dancing with a popular ’50s female quartet, Cuarteto d’Aida—on television programs including the one which featured Ferrer. One of the most touching aspects of Walker's film is the enduring 50-year friendship of Ferrer and Portuondo as time marches on. Inevitably, much of this film is devoted to bidding “Adios” to many of these legends in the years following their greatest success. “Now?” jokes Ferrer about his late-blooming celebrity. “Now that my voice is messed up and I can hardly walk. Now?” (Don’t believe him about his voice; it remains beautiful!) But as Juan de Marcos Gonzalez sums up, “The flowers of life came late” to these indomitable performers. “But they came.” THE BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB: ADIOS (PG) (May 26) *** (out of four) With Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, and Compay Segundo. A documentary by Lucy Walker. A Broad Green release. Rated PG. 110 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE George and Harold are pranksters, so of course when they get in trouble with the principal, they hypnotize him to get out of it. Except it actually works. Thus is born the dim-witted, overly enthusiastic Captain Underpants. David Soren directs. Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch, Ed Helms costar. (PG) 89 minutes. CHURCHILL He’s an icon now, but for the purposes of this film, it's June 1944 and Britain has begun to lose faith in the legendary Winston Churchill. His generals are ignoring his demands and Churchill, desperate to avoid a disaster like the Gallipoli slaughter of 1915, becomes desperate in the 96 hours leading up to D-Day. Jonathan Teplitsky directs. Brian Cox, Miranda Richardson, John Slattery co-star. (PG) 98 minutes.

MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

But when Anne (Lane) gets the opportunity to take a slow detour to Paris with a charming Frenchman before meeting back up with the hubby, she begins to see what she’s missing. Basically, the female version of something vaguely Woody Allen. Eleanor Coppola directs. Lane, Baldwin, Arnaud Viard co-star. (PG) minutes.

THE WEDDING PLAN Her fiance has flown the coop, and there’s 30 days til the wedding. An Orthodox Jew undeterred by circumstance, Michal places her faith in God to find a groom before she steps on the altar. Rama Burshtein directs. Dafi Alferon, Noa Koler, Oded Leopold co-star.

For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING ALIEN: COVENANT This might be the sixth movie in the Alien franchise, but heck, with so many good looking people on one spaceship sent to colonize the new planet, there might be some new plot twists possible here. Wait, who even cares, we’re just here for the aliens. Ridley Scott directs. Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup co-star. (R) 162 minutes. BAYWATCH There’s drugs, murder, and a dead body on their beach. It’s probably a job for the police, but that won’t stop the Baywatch team from diving into a local criminal plot head-on, with perfect form and glistened abs, of course. This is so much more than slow-mo running on the beach y’all—Hannibal Buress plays Dave the Tech and that’s reason enough to go see it. Seth Gordon directs. Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron. Alexandra Daddario co-star. (R) 116 minutes. BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB: ADIOS They brought Cuba to the world and contributed to a littleknown history of the country—the remaining Buena Vista Social Club original members explore their careers and the incredible circumstances that brought them together. Lucy Walker directs. Manuel 'Guajiro' Mirabal, Guajirito Mirabal, Ibrahim Ferrer co-star. (PG) 110 minutes. CHUCK A liquor salesman and father by day, a modest prizefighter by night, Chuck

AMAZON PRIME Gal Gadot in Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman.’

Wepner’s life changed in an instant when he was chosen to take on the Greatest in a 1975 title match. Overnight he became a legend and the real-life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. Philippe Falardeau directs. Elisabeth Moss, Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman directs. (R) 98 minutes. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL This is what happens when the kids take over. Parents, beware. David Bowers directs. Alicia Silverstone, Tom Everett Scott, Charlie Wright co-star. (PG) 90 minutes. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING Her nurse, her mom, her sickness were her whole life. If she left the house, she would die. So, of course, she leaves because the boy next door is cute. Stella Meghie directs. Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose co-star. (PG-13) 96 minutes. HOW TO BE A LATIN LOVER Maximo used to be quite the stud, seducing women left and right. But when his wife of 25 years dumps him and leaves him penniless, he has to figure out a new game plan. Here’s to hoping this Casanova tale isn’t a super problematic reinforcement of women as mindless conquests. Ken Marino directs. Eugenio Derbez, Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe co-star. (PG-13) 115 minutes.

KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD The story of Arthur before he pulled the sword from the stone and became the legendary king—with a perfectly scruffed yet dashingly trimmed undercut, duh (cue eye roll). The new Arthur’s got an arsenal of nerd-out-worthy special effects, and with Jude Law as the expertly cast powerhungry king, it might be the most badass rendition of the classic tale ever told. At least, that’s what director Guy Ritchie thinks. Charlie Hunnam and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey co-star. (PG-13) 126 minutes. LONG STRANGE TRIP They were experimenting with psychedelics as much as they were playing music and their leaderless counterculture movement inspired a generation, often to total chaos. This is the story of the Grateful Dead—in just under four hours. Amir Bar-Lev directs. Tom Constanten, Jerry Garcia, Donna Godchaux co-star. (R) 238 minutes. THE LOVERS His secret, her secret: Susan and Michael have been married for an eternity and are both in serious extramarital affairs. They both decide to leave their marriage for their lovers when something strange happens … they fall back in love with each other. Azazel Jacobs directs. Debra Winger, Tracy Letts, Aidan Gillen co-star. (R) 94 minutes.

NORMAN Not another sequel or prequel to Psycho—Bates Motel fans can thank their stars—but rather, the story of an operator, an optimist, an enigma. Whatever you need, he’ll help you get it. Norman Oppenheimer’s tale is one of “the moderate rise and tragic fall of a New York fixer,” as its tagline explains, and it’s being called the role of Richard Gere’s life. Joseph Cedar directs. Gere, Lior Ashkenazi, Michael Sheen co-star. (R) 118 minutes. A QUIET PASSION “You are alone in your rebellion, Ms. Dickinson.” And indeed, from her time as a defiant schoolgirl to a brazen woman who would not kneel to God or man, Emily Dickinson was. But, as Cynthia Nixon depicts, her aloneness had more to do with being out of step with the world and more in tune with the universe. Terence Davies directs. Jennifer Ehle and Duncan Duff co-star. (PG13) 125 minutes. SNATCHED Vacationing with your mother when your boyfriend has just dumped you can be somewhat stifling, even if she is Goldie Hawn. But thankfully, things get all kinds of exciting when Amy Schumer and Hawn get out of their hotel room and into a … kidnap situation. Jonathan Levine directs. Kim Caramele co-stars. (R) 91 minutes.

A Wine to Remember

Odonata Winery releases Remembrance, with proceeds funding a cure for Alzheimer’s BY CHRISTINA WATERS

inemaker Denis Hoey from Odonata Winery recently released his first Zinfandel wine, made from Monterey County grapes. Remembrance is a spice-driven Zin that calls attention to Odonata’s partnership with a big cause— finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Hoey and his winery—the nearest tasting room is located on the Westside, at 2343 Mission St., next door to Companion Bakeshop— have long partnered with local walking team “It’s a Zoo” to raise money and awareness through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year

Hoey, a UCSC graduate who spent time working in the cellar with Jeff Emery of Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard, has decided to take his commitment to this cause a step further. All proceeds from the sale of every bottle of Remembrance will go toward the It’s a Zoo team effort to raise $10,000 in September’s Walk. Odonata released the 150 cases he crafted of the special Zinfandel during Passport Weekend this past February. It’s going quickly, so you might want to head over to Odonata and grab a bottle or two of the $25 Zin to partner with your summer barbecues. odonatawines.com.

APPETIZERS OF THE WEEK Dinner last week in the courtyard of Laili not only gave Jack a chance to indulge in his favorite lamb kabob dish—ah, those splendid chutneys, the spiced yogurt, the perfection of the kabuli rice—but also produced my new favorite small dish. I wanted something un-big, yet flavorintensive. The salad of gorgeous marinated beets seemed just right, especially since I added grilled prawns to my order. Paired with a glass of house Malbec, the beet salad was ablaze with robust flavors and textures. Big succulent slabs of beet had been dressed with a memorable

honey-dijon balsamic vinaigrette. Large grilled prawns circled the plate like rosy petals. In the center was an island of piquant arugula topped with bits of goat cheese. The entire dish worked perfectly, no false notes, everything satisfying. ($21). Over at Soif, I shared with my companion the evening’s special appetizer of asparagus with smoked trout mousse, and a glass of minerally, faintly salty Zudugarai Txakolina ($10). Here is a white wine so refreshing you want to drink two glasses, one right after the other! The mildly-flavored mousse arrived thin and viscous, and never stood up to the vibrant asparagus, tiny clementines and infant radish sprouts ($14). But another starter of chicken liver mousse turned out to be brilliant. Served in a tiny ceramic pot à la provençal, the thick mousse (more of a pâté) was frosted with a fig and Padrón pepper honey jam, and came with slices of grilled sourdough. $11 and fabulous. On the Birichino front, I’ve heard from co-proprietor John Locke with an update about the winery’s tasting-room-in-progress. Infrastructure has met with approval from the various city agencies, and that means that a summer opening date for the Birichino showcase looks highly likely. Locke had hoped for an opening date last month, but next month seems possible. I’ll keep you posted on this, since we all know that timeframes in the food and drink world tend to expand and expand. Outstanding in the Field, the wildly successful brainchild of former Gabriella chef Jim Denevan, has invited Birichino to pour at the Besson Family old vine Grenache vineyard off Hecker Pass in Gilroy. The participating restaurant is Monterey’s 1833, and the date is Thursday, June 29. If you’ve got a few nickels to spare, you will definitely enjoy some splendid al fresco vibes, food, and wonderful Birichino wines (I am passionate about their Grenache).

he sky seems to stretch forever from the porch of Corralitos Brewing Co. Tucked away off of Freedom Boulevard, halfway between Corralitos and Watsonville, the brewery lies nestled in one of the most agriculturally fruitful regions in the world and overlooks vast fields and an open horizon. Back in 2015, when they opened their doors to the public, it didn’t shock owner Luke Taylor that the land the brewery is on was zoned for agriculture, but it was surprising that beer wasn’t considered an agricultural product. “They wanted to change our zoning to commercial, because apparently beer had nothing to do with agriculture. We thought that was pretty funny,” says owner Luke Taylor. “They said we could have put a winery here, but not a brewery.” But they fought to keep their zoning, and became one of the few breweries in the nation zoned for agriculture. Corralitos Brewing’s Zoned Ag bottle series honors that designation and the tradition of agriculture in the area with a

succession of barrel-aged beers conditioned on heaping helpings of fruit from local farms. In the last year and half, I’ve been impressed by Corralitos’ well-crafted brews, which run the gamut of American, Belgian and sour styles. The beers in the Zoned Ag series stand out for their intense yet complex flavors. Each begins as a different base beer, and spends several months in oak barrels before fruit is added. After several more months, each barrel is tasted for quality before blending. The results are truly unique beers with mouth-watering fruit aromas and flavor, buoyed by tartness and funk. “We really want to support our community, especially our agricultural community, with this series,” says Taylor. Blackberry and peach are currently available, and pluot, blueberry and golden raspberry are due to be released throughout the summer. All bottles are sold exclusively through the taproom, which is definitely worth a visit.

Villa del Monte Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from the Four Sisters Ranch BY JOSIE COWDEN

illa del Monte’s 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful mouthful of wine. A single-varietal, single-vineyard 100 percent Cab from the Four Sisters Ranch in northern Paso Robles AVA—it’s aged for 18 months in both French and American oak barrels. Bursting with dark fruit flavors of deep red cherries, black currants, blueberries, and black plums, it’s a muscular Cab from winemakers John Overstreet and Neil Perrelli. Swirl this Cab ($34) around in your glass and you’ll get enticing aromas of cedar, toast, tobacco, and a touch of coffee, followed by those stalwart Cab flavors of licorice, bell pepper, tobacco, and spice. All you need now is some hearty fare to go with it. Villa del Monte will be open for tasting on June 24 and 25, and for the Passport event on July 15. It’s a small boutique winery and well worth a visit. Wine-tasting flights are $5 per person, refundable with purchase. Villa del Monte Winery, 23076 Summit Road, Los Gatos, 408-353-0995 or 888788-4583. villadelmontewinery.com.

Last week I wrote about the North and South nodes—the points in space that show us where the Moon (our past) and the Sun (our present future) meet. The North Node depicting our present/future dharma (work to develop). And the South node shows us where we have already cultivated gifts and talents. We find these are easy for us in this lifetime. Thus, we are often in a state of recapitulation as we gather gifts, talents and abilities developed in previous lifetimes. As we engage with already known talents, we re-encounter ourselves and this allows us to build stepping stones with our re-encountered gifts from the South Node (karmic inheritances, things to complete, to gather) to the North Node (destiny, soul’s longing, evolutionary path). Each lifetime is always a higher level than previous lifetimes. We never slide backward. And, always, in each lifetime, we are moving

from the South Node (the past, the Moon) to the North Node (present/future, the Sun), walking toward our life’s purpose (seen in the rising sign). Eventually, midlife, there is something that occurs that is very important to know. As we near the North Node, as the doors to the North Node open to us, the South Node’s doors begin to close. Over time, we find that we cannot turn back. We cannot return to the South Node. This can be quite difficult. The areas of life, the place, the people we have been comfortable with for so long, has closed. We can feel unmoored, unsettled, bereft. Very gradually, we realize a new life rhythm has begun. And we step upon that last stone of the North Node and look ahead. In the world for everyone, the North Node has entered Leo, the South Node Aquarius, influencing each sign for the next 18 months. The North Node is our Guiding Light.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

In the next 18 months, you will find opportunities to develop new levels of creativity, talents, gifts, abilities and be able to recognize them. You will see what your contribution is to the world. Children, playfulness, fun and game games may become very important, along with learning how to love more, having a bit of romance, giving birth to something while radiating and shining a light in the world.

You might find yourself joining with others, everyone sharing common goals, creating new endeavors together. The efforts are humanitarian, a bit radical, with the purpose of social change. You will learn a deeper level of cooperation as you blend your personal will with the great harmonious Will. Right Relations with everyone calls to you. All of this beneficence is filled with new opportunities for you.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Over the next months you realize help from others is needed. Usually you accomplish everything alone. You’re confident, assured and strong. However, there comes a time when one must realize that others can more effectively help and nurture us. Your heart needs a bit more warmth, empathy and care from others. Events occur that support this.

When considering your career, maintain the highest standards. You may encounter public recognition in your chosen field. Powerful energies drop into your mind, encouraging you to bring forth new leadership. Over the next 18 months, opportunities occur to establish cooperative leadership. Maintain boundaries and see yourself as an expert with a sterling reputation.

You will shine brightly in ways you didn’t expect. Your communication skills will increase, and your conversations will be more lively and more understood. What are you curious about these days? What calls to you, what is of interest? This is a time to read more, study deeply and perhaps consider writing about your life, sharing it. Tolerance will be needed toward others different than you. Gemini is connected with Sirius, where love comes from.

Even if you live a solitary life, there are kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human, spiritual) around all of us that we interact and work within. it will be important to improve all environments and tend to the personal self in ways that bring about personal healing. Include alternative methods (see a Functional doctor). Spend time each day in the direct golden light of the Sun.

Christina MacColl, 29-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

S HOPP ER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Hairdresser, Jillz Hair Design Studio Hobbies: Sewing coats/dresses/bags; hiking; cooking Astrological Sign: Libra What first brought you to Shopper’s? Twenty-nine years ago, I had moved from North Hampton, Massachusetts, and was introduced to Shopper’s while working next door at Super Naturals. Since then, every time I shop eleswhere, I ask myself, ‘Why am I not at Shopper’s?’ It’s fun, friendly, and I can get everything I need. I know people — Susan, who was my boss at Super Naturals, the checkers, the meat guys, and the wine guys. They have great wines and great gins. I can get in and out in 10 minutes because I know where everything is. I even tell other customers where items are located. I love Shopper’s old classic look, and I like supporting local stores.

You prefer shopping local? I am a local businessperson, so I try to buy from and support other local businesses, like Harts for my sewing stuff. Shopper’s is family-run and they have a connection to the community. You’ll see that in the customer service. I feel acknowledged and I’m happy spending my money here. Shopper’s is my home away from home: I’m a single person and don’t need to buy in bulk from big stores. I have seen many familiar people over and over throughout the years at Shopper’s, not really knowing who they are. And then I’ll run into them somewhere else and we’ll make the ol’ Shopper’s Corner connection. That’s pretty cool.

What do you like to cook? I cook fairly simple. I have a good clean diet. Lots of veggies and a variety of fish. I love cooking every single night. It’s a ritual. For dinner it’ll be vegetables with maybe a rib eye steak or possibly a swordfish steak. The butchers are so helpful. They’ll answer all my questions and will provide me with special cuts. The other day I had planned to make a steak using my cast iron skillet. I asked what what would be the best cut. I was told to go with with a New York steak. It was excellent quality and very fresh! Shopper’s carries so many good cheeses and a variety of fresh local salsas. Their own sandwiches are great for my lunches.
