Light Therapy

Real Solutions

Re: “Shock Waves� (Currents, March 6). Let there be light! Our community is in darkness, and not only because we are all enshrouded by the inexpressible sadness of recent events. We are also wandering in the dark in search of the way forward as a community. Let me suggest one practical path to pursue: let there be light. Although many neighborhood groups have adopted the public safety strategy of putting more “eyes� on our problem areas, it seems no one has thought to put more light on the problem. Let’s create a city program that provides more light to our community in the form of more and brighter street lighting. The city should also consider incentivizing the installation of front porch lights on every residence. Perhaps we can also consider revisiting the Blue Light Safety Project. In these ways, at least, we can together begin the journey out of the darkness and into the light.

Re: “Santa Cruz’s Angriest Man� (Currents, Feb. 27): Homelessness and drug addiction in Santa Cruz are not going to disappear because people are getting angry at those afflicted by these conditions. What is needed are live/ work/ rehab facilities for people who want a chance at recovery. Our nation lacks government-sponsored work and rehabilitation programs because of right-wing politicians who have duped people into thinking government is a bad thing. This is because they represent a small group of wealthy families who are profiting from the situation and enjoying low tax rates. Without government intervention the situation will continue to be hopeless for tens of millions of people. This hopelessness turns into increased drug addiction, crime and violence. The idea that the private business sector is going to resolve these problems is

STEVE PLEICH Santa Cruz

ludicrous. Government rehabilitation and education programs are what is needed to lessen the problem. ANDREW TODD Santa Cruz

Real Solutions, Part Deux Re: “The Battle For Santa Cruz� (Cover, March 6): “Keep Santa Cruz Weird� in and of itself is not the cause of any violence, but it’s part of the general perception of Santa Cruz as a place tolerant of activities that would not be tolerated elsewhere. Another cause, as mentioned in the article, was the proposition that instructed the police to treat marijuana usage as their lowest priority. Yet another is the great marijuana smoke out that happens every year at UCSC, which is clearly illegal yet permitted to continue by the city council. Those and many other local political faux pas are what attract troubled people to Santa Cruz. In my opinion, most of the blame for that perception was caused by the so-called progressive politics that held sway around here for so long. Fortunately, common sense has prevailed, most of the progressive attitudes have been replaced by real-world attitudes, and the progressives have become largely irrelevant. What’s needed is a total re-branding of Santa Cruz. Sure, keep the “Keep Santa Cruz Weird� slogan but make it clear that it applies to the artistic and creative aspects of the community. City Council, stop wasting time on plastic bag bans and reducing global warming. They’re both worthy causes, of course, but are they more important than keeping your city safe? I’d gladly swap our recently appointed global warming position for another police officer. PETER HAWORTH

EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY The end of Katherine Beiers’ term on the Santa Cruz Library Joint Powers Board paved the way for the passage of the library sleeping ban that Beiers had previously helped defeat.

Packing ’Em In

How the increasingly political nature of board appointments can affect local policy BY GEORGIA PERRY

‘I

once worked at a library where people dropped off children in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon,â€? Katherine Beiers told the Santa Cruz Library Joint Powers Board in December. At that meeting, Beiers urged the board to vote “noâ€? on a motion to add a sleeping ban to the library’s code of conduct. “Libraries forever have been a haven to get out of the rain or sit down and just think. I’m sure an awful lot of people put their head down and slept for an hour or so. That is a reality‌There are very few places the public can go without buying something,â€? she told the Santa Cruz Weekly over the phone. The proposed ban, designed to combat the problem of homeless individuals sleeping for hours inside

the downtown Santa Cruz library, was defeated at that meeting, in a tight 5-4 vote. But the sleeping ban’s defeat was short-lived. This year, Beiers’ term ended, as did those of Sam Storey and John Leopold—board members who also voted against the library’s sleeping ban. With a new board in place, the sleeping ban was reintroduced by citizen member Dick English, who said he sharpened the language of the proposal to prevent any questions about the ban being discriminatory and potentially inviting “legal entanglements.� The ban passed unanimously at the March 4 meeting, with no debate. “There’s a whole new board,� said Beiers. “If we had stayed on the board [the proposed sleeping ban] wouldn’t

have come back‌ A new board gets to put things back on the agenda.� Few people in this day and age would be surprised at the politics behind many board appointments. But votes on issues like the sleeping ban show how the makeup of a board can make or break policy changes that have lasting effects for a community. And while Beiers retired this year, sometimes politicians are removed from boards while they’re still in office. County Supervisor John Leopold, for example, was unexpectedly removed from the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in January on the recommendation of Commission Chair Neal Coonerty. Leopold, who proposed strict environmental regulations that some saw

as an impediment to the UCSC campus expansion, believes he was removed from the LAFCO commission because Coonerty disagreed with his politics. “I was working to make sure that everyone got what they wanted—that we could get an adequate water supply and allow the university to grow,� said Leopold. “I was working hard to represent concerns of the community, and I’m disappointed that I don’t get to see that work all the way through.� Coonerty admitted that he and Leopold differed on the “water issue� but noted that, regardless of committee members’ politics, shuffling members to accommodate newly elected officials is routine. “Four years ago Ellen Pirie was on [the LAFCO board], and she was unhappy about being moved to an alternate space to make room for John Leopold to come on,� he said. “It is what it is,� he added. There have been surprises at Santa Cruz City Hall as well. “Unfortunately, it seems like the new board assignments are more and more political,� says newly elected city councilmember Micah Posner, who claims he was “not assigned to any significant boards.� Mayor Hilary Bryant appointed Posner to three boards, including the Area Agency on Aging, which so far has been using its alternate instead of Posner, and the Sanctuary Scenic Committee, which only meets four times a year. For the sake of comparison, city councilmember Pamela Comstock, who received fewer votes than Posner in the 2012 election, was placed on four boards, including the Water Board and the council’s Public Safety Committee. The former director of People Power and two-time Bike to Work coordinator, Posner said he was surprised Mayor Bryant, who did not respond to a request for comment, did not recommend him for any transportation-related boards. “I’m the one who knows the most about transportation,� he said. “The way it worked out was pretty disappointing to me. I think [the decision] was political.� Additional reporting by Jacob Pierce.

Fashion & Beauty Issue ; / @ 1 6 ! ' !

SOCKS TO BE YOU PHOTOS BY CHIP SCHEUER

T

his year’s Fashion & Beauty issue is about finding beauty in unexpected places. That applies not only to the Cosmo Factory Cosmetology Academy on Front Street, where we staged our shoot for this issue (see page 15), but to this edition’s primary focus: feet.

In addition to the fine spring fashions featured here from a number of local boutiques, we wanted to focus on socks, something most of us wear, but don’t always think about. Until, at least, we see designs like the ones from Santa Cruz’s own Sockshop and Shoe Company. See, the Sockshop folks have been thinking about the fashion of socks for two decades. In 2007, owners Eric and Ellen Gil also began designing their own socks, and now roughly 15 percent of what’s sold in the store comes from their own line, Socksmith. They’ve also expanded their brand with stores in San Francisco, on Haight Street—which they are currently in the process of re-locating to a building

four times the size—and in Berkeley. Eric and Ellen view their socks as functional pieces of art, which makes Santa Cruz the perfect place for them. But Socksmith socks can now be found all over the world in specialty clothing shops; there’s even a store in New Zealand that carries them. New lines come out seasonally, with spring’s on the way. Locals have long known that Sockshop has an endless variety of ways to cover your feet. If you’re not in the mood for a pair of socks with cats wearing glasses (although, seriously, how could you not be?), Sockshop carries a wide range of designs to choose from. We’ve featured several of those socks in these pages, and we want to send out a special thank you to them, along with Bunny’s Shoes, Legs, Pacific Trading Co., Synergy and Tomboy. Thanks also to our models Percy Powers, Georgia Perry, Lily Stoicheff, Lindsey Walker and Melanie Ware; all our stylists from the Cosmo Factory; and everyone else who helped rock this shoot down to its toes.

Beauty’s Where You Find It

A

Fisher keeps his student body small, and besides the vocational instruction incorporates theater, music and, most importantly, real-world experience into the hyper-modern curriculum. Besides the salon being open to the public, the Cosmo Factory works on events with Digital Media Factory, the Downtown Association, the Bridal Expo at Cocoanut Grove, the Santa Cruz Fashion Art Runway Show and the upcoming Fashion Teens, to name a few.

that you would have gotten if you paid five times the amount,� says Fisher.

Indeed, Fisher is not interested in the the traditional and ever-stigmatized notion of beauty school. For five years, he’s been working to build a better one.

“I already feel like I’ve got so many things under my belt,� says Percy Powers, who’s been a student at Cosmo for three months. “It’s a total family here.�

“The science is all the chemistry, the science is also the psychology,� he says. “The art is playing with color, and the art is the life that we live.�

“When the clients come in here, they can see that this isn’t just a place you go to get guinea pigged. When you come in here, you’re expecting every bit of the service

“This is not mine,� says Fisher of the academy. “I’m just the caretaker of it. Everybody who comes through here, it’s theirs. This place is like a canvas, it changes daily. It changes based on the people who are here at the time. This is theirs. And they know that, the students know that, and the clients know that.�

fter Wayne’s College of Beauty on Walnut Street closed a decade ago, Santa Cruz no longer had a beauty school. James Fisher, founder of the Cosmo Factory Cosmetology Academy on Front Street, says we still don’t.

“We have a cosmetology academy where we study the arts and sciences of cosmetology,� he says. “It’s different.�

He feels that, for the last five years, the academy has been a “best-kept secret.� But he’s now beginning to do more outreach. All of Santa Cruz Weekly’s Fashion and Beauty photos were shot at the Cosmo Factory, with students both designing hair and makeup for the models, and even joining in as models themselves.

MELVIN SEALS & JGB

MARCH MADNESS

FANTAN MOJAH

Even though two of his bandmates, Jerry Garcia and John Kahn, passed away in the mid-’90s, keyboardist Melvin Seals would not allow the legacy of their music to die with them. To immortalize Mr. Garcia, Seals created the band JGB, who continue to play the old repertoire of songs and remain faithful to his style. The resemblance is uncanny, and has to be. Fans who are jonesing for some of that jam band, rockinfused blues expect, with good reason, this to be the best Jerry Garcia Band tribute. Unfortunately for Seals, who has also released his own album, the fans do not seem so keen on hearing any of his original songs. Moe’s Alley; $20 adv/$25 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

A warmup for St. Patrick’s Day, March Madness is a showcase of three of the area’s favorite rock, metal and punk bands. A Santa Cruz metal/hardcore band with a national following, Requiem for the Dead, featuring former I Am Ghost frontman Steven Juliano, is teaming up with the groove-driven rockers of Who’s Holdin’ and the high-energy punk outfit, Honest Mistake, for what’s lining up to be a raucous, green beer-chugging good time. The show is a CD release party for Requiem for the Dead’s latest, an EP titled Memories. Don Quixote’s; $7; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Remember how Snoop Dogg was rechristened Snoop Lion by a Rastafarian priest? Remember how he completely failed to properly portray the culture and embarrassed the religion? Well, luckily for them, someone was able to do it justice. Jamaican born Owen Moncrieffe was rechristened Fantan Mojah when he became an artist who epitomizes the good vibes and optimistic themes of a new wave of contemporary reggae singers. His music positively portrays women, gives praise to his Lord Jah and mirrors his dedication and sense of responsibility to religion and the whole Rastafarian movement. Moe’s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (MW)

STORY ROAD An all-star Celtic band made up of Molly’s Revenge members John Weed and Stuart Mason, percussionist John Pozzi and vocalist Colleen Raney, who is being touted as one of the finest Celtic singers of her generation, Story Road handily covers a range of musical territory, from pulse-invigorating dance tunes to tear-inducing ballads. Add to the bill the Rosemary Turco Irish Dancers and ace button accordionist Johnny B. Connolly—plus a round of corned beef and cabbage—and it becomes clear that this St. Patrick’s Day celebration aims to show Santa Cruz what Irish tradition is all about.

KYLE EASTWOOD Kyle is a master of both electric and standup bass and an acclaimed composer who has worked on a few little films like Gran Torino and Letters from Iwo Jima. With a sharp ear for all the subtleties of jazz, he has made a name for himself in the contemporary scene. And making a name for himself isn’t easy, considering he’s also the son of the notorious, chair-talking, gun-slinging Clint Eastwood. After going to the Monterey Jazz Festival every year as a kid, he met countless musicians and eventually found himself dropping out of USC as a film major to pursue, with strong encouragement from his father, the life of a talented jazz musician.

BLACK LIPS I guess when the Black Lips sucked, they got most of their attention for the freaky stuff they did at their shows—which mostly involved bodily fluids and lighting their johnsons on fire. Music critics often say they haven’t changed, but that’s ridiculous—yes, they still play low-fi, punky garage rock, but their songs are so much better now. Catchier, funnier, way more listenable. In some ways, they’re like NOFX, in that they’ve pinpointed what they do best, honed it and

KING TUFF God, is it a great time to be an indie rocker. You can give yourself any crazy persona or wacky name you want, like Unknown Hinson, or King Tuff, and still have people take you seriously. It’s like wrestling out there right now! Kyle Thomas decided to go with King Tuff, and the rock gods have declared that it is good. He’s in J Mascis’ band Witch, and you can hear the Dinosaur Jr. in his sprawling guitar sound. But really it’s more in the Big-Star-to-Replacements lineage; songs like “Bad Thing� almost reach the downlow heights of “September Gurls� and “Bastards of Young.� Since I’ve never understood why there aren’t more bands claiming this birthright all around, this is a fabulous thing.

Comprising three sisters—Hannah, Beth and Ellen Knight on mandolin, guitar and banjo— and one Emma Blankenship on the upright bass, the Railflowers have an Andrews Sisters-meetsroots-music thing going on. Demonstrating, once again, that sibling harmonies may well be the tightest of them all, this group blends folk material and a pop-friendly delivery to create something lovely, familiar and easy to absorb. Drawing inspiration from Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Kate Wolf and more, the Railflowers sing achingly beautiful, impeccably harmonized songs of simpler times, sweet love and feeling blue.

New BARBARA (PG-13; 105 min.) Attention: movies set in the ’80s are now officially “period� pieces. But unlike the ones fixated on hair, summer camp or Tony Wilson, this German film offers a glimpse into a culture cut off from the Western world, with its story of an East German doctor trying to avoid the Stasi and defect after being banished to a rural clinic. (Opens Fri at the Nick)

THE CALL (R; 100 mi.) Brad Anderson, the director of two very trippy, Twilight Zone-type films (Session 9 and The Machinist), helms this story of a 911 operator (Halle Berry) who gets way too involved with her job after getting a call from a girl who’s been abducted.

trilogy (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stepbrothers), Steve Carrell fashions his own over-the-top character in the form of Burt Wonderstone, an egotistical superstar illusionist desperate to stay in the limelight.

skewering of girl cliques that unfortunately probably is only more relevant nearly a decade later, this also comes from a time when star Lindsey Lohan was not a joke. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) NO (R; 118 min.) In the Argo vein of putting an entertaining spin on a littleknown piece of history, this stars Gael Garcia Bernal as a Chilean ad man who comes up with a revolutionary (and real-life) public-relations campaign to defeat the

supposedly unbeatable Pinochet. (Opens Fri at the Nick) STOKER (R; 98 min.) Chan-wook Park, the visionary director of Oldboy and the Vengeance trilogy, returns to some of his freakiest themes with this Nicole Kidman thriller about a young girl (Mia Wasikowska) who develops an unhealthy relationship with her malevolent uncle after he comes to live with her and her mother.

Reviews BEAUTIFUL CREATURES (PG-13; 121 min) Everything seems to be about Twilight these days. Warm Bodies was heralded (or reviled) as “Twilight for zombies,â€? and of course the original Twilight had a lock on vampires and werewolves. Now some are calling this adaptation of the popular young-adult book “Twilight for witches.â€? It too has starcrossed lovers, this time having to deal with Jeremy Irons (who, let’s face it, probably really is a warlock) and the rest of the “casterâ€? family. BLESS ME, ULTIMA (PG-13; 106 min.) Based on the classic piece of Chicano literature that right-wingers keep trying to throw out of schools, this is a coming-ofage story set in post-WWII New Mexico amid a battle between good and evil. DEAD MAN DOWN (R; 118 min.) From the director of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (the Swedish one), a New York City enforcer (Colin Farrell) and a blackmailer team up to take on a crime boss (Terrance Howard). EMPEROR (PG-13; 114 min.) Should a beloved Japanese ruler be tried for war crimes? That’s the question Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) and his aide (Matthew Fox) try to answer in this WWII drama. THE GATEKEEPERS (PG-13; 95 min.) Members of Israel’s secret service open up about controversial tactics and tough decisions in this new documentary about the Shin Bet. More than a documentary, this is an exploration in morality for the 21st century. JACK AND THE GIANT SLAYER 3D (PG-13; 114 min.): The classic tale of “Jack and the Beanstalkâ€? is revisited with the tagline “If you think you know the story, you don’t know jack.â€? In this version, Jack climbs a towering vine, not in search of treasure, but in an attempt to save a kingdom, and its princess. IDENTITY THIEF (R; 117 min.) Bridesmaids’ breakout star Melissa McCarthy gets her own comic showcase playing a woman who steals Jason Bateman’s identity (made possible because his character’s name is “Sandy,â€? see? Er‌). Seth Gordon, who made his debut with the I-can’t-believe-this-mademe-care-about-video-games

documentary The King of Kong, directs. THE LAST EXORCISM PART II (PG-13; 88 min.) What we love about this title is that the Hollywood producers who came up with it probably don’t even realize what a semantic nightmare it is. They could have least put on a hilarious subhead, like The Last Exorcism Part II: The Even More Laster Exorcism. As for Nell Sweetzer, the only living member left in her family (whoops, original movie spoiler alert!), she forgets to pay her exorcist bill and gets repossessed. LORE (NR; 109 min.) The daughter of a Nazi leads her younger siblings across Europe while Allied Forces sweep the continent. As she seeks refuge, she’s forced to challenge everything she thought she knew about her family. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG; 130 min.) When three of Oz’s witches first meet Kansas transplant Oscar Diggs (James Franco), they’re disappointed. This, they worry, can’t possibly be the great wizard everyone’s expecting. Can he prove them wrong before the magical land’s epic problems spiral out of control? SAFE HAVEN (PG-13; 121 min) Best known for My Life as a Dog, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and The Cider House Rules, Swedish director Lasse HallstrĂśm is a tough one to get a handle on. With Safe Haven, he’s crafted a mysteryromance about a young woman who comes to a new town with dark secrets. Kind of like Beautiful Creatures, but without witches. SNITCH (PG-13; 118 min.) Sadly, this film is not about your little brother. Instead, it has the Rock going undercover for the DEA to get his son out of jail. (Opens Fri at Green Valley and Cinema 9) WARM BODIES (PG-13; 105 min.) Another addition to the budding zom-com genre has a zombie falling for stillalive Julie (Teresa Palmer). Clearly infused with more heart (a beating one) than the generally rather cynical films in this vein, it also attempts to unite the “fastâ€? and “slowâ€? camps of zombie fans by having both. 21 AND OVER (R; 93 min.): The night before his medical school exam, Jeff Chang celebrates his 21st birthday with his best friends. But what was only going to be a few beers turns into a booze cruise, with a vomiting scene atop a mechanical bull.

PALEO POWER: On Tuesday, March 19, join licensed nutritionist Rebecca Rovay-Hazelton and Naturapathic doctor Holly German for an enlightening class in Easy Paleo Power Breakfasts. In case you’re out of the loop, Paleo diets stress the basic foods humans very likely consumed during the pre-Pillsbury Paleolithic era. This food philosophy argues that if it worked for our hunter-gatherer predecessors, it might just be what our bodies have adapted to, namely fresh meat, fish, seafood, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and oils. What our ancestors did not eat, according to paleo diet nutritionists, was grain, legumes, dairy, refined sugars and processed foods, e.g., no gelato. Learn all about it, and how to use Paleo dietary guidelines to heighten your own health. $10 fee and the course happens from 6-7:30pm at the Westside New Leaf Market. A DELICIOUS WAY TO CLEAN UP YOUR ACT. Join Chef Talya Lutzker,

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Former Gabriella chef Rebecca King now makes artisanal cheeses under the Garden Variety Cheese label.

ORMER CHEFS OF GABRIELLA: They’re everywhere it seems. Rebecca

King is now raising sheep and making artisanal cheeses under the Garden Variety Cheese label out at her

of the new Storrs Winery estate tasting room in Corralitos, that’s what. You’ll only have a short wait until summer 2013 to visit the zero impact tasting room and hyper-green, sustainable vineyards planted by award-winning vintners Pamela and Steve Storrs.
