From Surviving To Thriving Re: “Misguided By Voices� (Cover, April 10): I appreciated the excellent article by Georgia Perry on survivors of mental illness. I consider myself not just a survivor, but a hard-won “thriver� of mental illness. At 37, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with a two-month-old baby and toddler in tow. Devastated by the stigma against bipolar, I founded the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Santa Cruz County in 2010 to find others like me for support. As a mental health advocate, I was invited to join the International Bipolar Foundation’s Consumer Advocacy Board as their only member who represents alternative mental health issues. My passion has grown to provide natural resources to those living with bipolar,

depression and anxiety challenges. With the assistance of our local CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) community, I’ll be facilitating a free women’s peer group in mid-May: “Hopeful and Naturally Healing Support.� Please email dyane@baymoon.com for information on the support group. DYANE LESHIN-HARWOOD Santa Cruz

Won’t Do That Re: “Misguided By Voices�: Georgia Perry did an outstanding job highlighting the realities of mental illness. I have had to make it my life’s work to get to the bottom of my disease, because the alternative had clearly been suicide. It took years of intensive soul searching to accept my

limitations without judgment: “I can do this, but I can’t do that.� And inevitably, the things I can’t do are the activities that touch the trauma nerve, sending me into convulsions of panic attacks, temper tantrums, and self destructive behaviors. Now I carry around a little folding wheelchair in my mind just to remind myself that I am not a deviant; I am just disabled. Keeping my head just high enough above water to participate in my own treatment and make my own decisions, as well as my own mistakes, was key for climbing my way out: “I will do this, but I won’t do that.� And with the right help, my functionality is improving on a daily basis. “The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.� NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST Santa Cruz

Truth About Safety Lately, I have heard a lot said about public safety. There have been workshops and speak-outs and petitions and print media galore. But unless we embrace one fundamental truth about public safety, we will never truly achieve it. And that truth is: law enforcement alone cannot make our community safe. It takes individuals and groups and nonprofits and city government, both at the council and agency level, and the faith communities each doing their part to support the law enforcement effort to make our city safe. When we as a community come together in this basic understanding, we can begin the work of making our homes and our neighborhoods and ourselves safer. In this case in particular, it really does take a village. STEVE PLEICH Santa Cruz

we can.� Griffin felt moved and signed up to be a “Hunger Fighter.� He recorded a video in support of the cause—and the nonprofit, which was started by local skate and surf mogul Danny Keith. The Santa Cruz Warriors have also donated 60 seats to Grind Out Hunger, which Keith sells to raise money and gives away to kids in need. The Warriors aren’t just feeding hungry families. This season they have helped kids learn by launching a Read to Achieve program and fought for the environment by raising money for the Sanctuary Exploration Center during their “Green Week.� They partnered with the Special Olympics and the Boys and Girls Club. Not a bad resume for year one.

Scoring Big How the Santa Cruz Warriors took the city by storm BY JACOB PIERCE

I

n a season filled with bad news and bickering over trash and crime, a sports team united Santa Cruz at a time when dirty syringes had practically been on the verge of becoming the town’s new mascots. The Santa Cruz Warriors finished the season with the third best record in the D-League and are entering the third round of playoffs. They’ve brought throngs of fans downtown, where they end up eating and drinking before and after games, to the tune of at least $150,000 in

revenue. But it’s more than just their success and economic muscle that have made them an instant hit in Santa Cruz. The team, from owners on down through players, have said and done absolutely everything right here, at every step, in marked contrast to the bombastic way Golden State Warriors co-owners Peter Guber and Joe Lacob stumbled through their first year in Oakland after buying the team in 2010. Take Taylor Griffin, starting power forward for the Santa Cruz Warriors. He remembers the first

time he set foot in Grind Out Hunger Headquarters on 41st Avenue. It was November, and the town’s new basketball team had just picked nonprofit Grind Out Hunger as a partner for its charity of choice. “I was shocked to find out almost 20,000 kids in the Santa Cruz area are going hungry—whether that’s malnutrition or not getting three square meals a day,� says Griffin, older brother of Clippers superstar Blake. “While we’re here, it’s important to integrate ourselves into the community and help in any way

The Santa Cruz Warriors have made it clear they want to stay in Santa Cruz when the lease on their temporary shell of an arena is up by 2019. If Santa Cruz decides to keep the team, the city could take the lead in building the new facility. So does all the Warriors’ community work prove their long-term value to the community? “I certainly think so,� says Warriors spokesperson Matt de Nesnera. “That’s not our intention. We understand as a sports team, especially in the minor leagues, it really is about getting involved and making the place you call home a better place. There’s more to it than basketball.� It may sound hard to believe a team owned by Oakland’s Golden State Warriors—worth $550 million—is making marketing decisions with only its heart and not its wallet. But Griffin, de Nesnera and coach Nate Bjorkgren say that’s how teams play in the NBA Development League—looking out for their neighbors.

Indiana sports writer Reggie Hayes covers the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, who the Warriors swept in the playoffs. He says the Mad Ants support their charities, too, and take kids out shopping around Christmas. “They do have to attract an audience,� Hayes say, “and I think sincerely the people who run the team like to help the community. But it’s also about trying to sell the team, so people come to the games.� It may not matter what the team’s intentions are. City councilmember Don Lane, who was mayor during the negotiations to bring in the team, gives the Warriors’ opening season a score of “9.6 out of 10.� A few wrinkles need to be ironed out next year, he says, to address parking and noise issues. Though it’s early, Lane says at this point the Warriors’ long-term future in Santa Cruz looks promising.

“It’s a Warriors center, but it’s an opportunity for a community center.� Other permanent D-League basketball arenas have ranged in price: some double as hockey arenas and are much bigger than the Warriors’ current 2,500-seat space. The Texas Legends play in a $27 million, 4,500-seat arena shared with two football teams and a hockey team. The Bakersfield Jam financed its own 500-seat arena with $2 million. Danny Keith of Grind Out Hunger says the Warriors arena has the opportunity to become much more than a basketball hub. “It’s a Warriors center, but it’s an opportunity for a community center,� Keith says. “That’s the perfect-sized venue. If I had to put money on whether or not the Warriors would be here, I would put money on that. If I have anything to do with it, they’ll be here.� 0

Briefs Shelter Sleepover When Santa Cruz city councilmember Micah Posner got home this past Thursday morning, he couldn’t help crying, thinking about the night he had just spent at the Coral Street Shelter in Harvey West. “That’s my main emotional take on it,� Posner says. “It’s sad place to be. There are a lot of people who are bummed out and very full of regrets.� With the Homeless Services Center under increased scrutiny, Posner arranged to get a firsthand look into the shelter before budgeting discussions start. Staff brought an extra bed out, so he didn’t take anyone’s spot. He told other guests that he had recently gotten out of jail and been kicked out of his girlfriend’s house. Posner says the sadness and regrets in the shelter reminded him most of a night he spent in jail for civil disobedience after a war protest 20 years ago. He adds that, out of dozens of people there, a few were working to get ahead. One man left at 6am for a job interview in San Jose. Another was enrolling at Cabrillo College. Most of the people he saw seemed to be addicts, he says, but none were using drugs at the shelter. One person left an MP3 player plugged into the wall unattended and came back to find it stolen, he says. Staff tried to locate it, but was unable to. Posner will share his thoughts that these people shouldn’t be “kicked when they’re down� with his fellow councilmembers, who he curiously says he didn’t think to notify before his stay. Mayor Hilary Bryant did not comment for this story, and no other councilmembers could be reached by press time. Posner is not the first city councilmember this year to use personal observations to defend feelings about the shelter. (See Lynn Robinson’s letter about Harvey West incidents to HSC director Monica Martinez.) But we can just picture other councilmembers rolling their eyes when Posner invokes his new expertise on homeless issues during discussions about the shelter over the next year. Too bad they didn’t think of it first. 0

How Gardening Can Save the World Permaculture is taking gardening to the next level of sustainability, and the movement has taken hold in Santa Cruz BY SALLY NEAS

‘I

t’s spring time,� proclaims permaculture teacher David Shaw, as he clutches a hunter green steel digging fork. “Time to go.�

Indeed, signs of spring are all around: bees are gathering nectar from budding lavender, bird songs ring out from every direction and the garden of the Santa Cruz Waldorf school is filled with 16 eager

students, anxious to get their hands dirty. But the approach here is much different from what you would find in most gardening classes. Today, the garden is being tended as a part of the Regenerative Design Institute’s Four Seasons permaculture class. Permaculture, derived from the words “permanent agriculture,� is a set of ethics, principles and techniques that guide

11

designers to self-sustaining, regenerative systems. When originally conceived in the 1970s, it was applied largely to gardening and farming, but since then has expanded into solar energy, water and more. “Permaculture is different in that it’s holistic,� says Shaw. “Gardening is an aspect of permaculture, but so is natural building, and alternative currencies and restorative justice.�

‘If you look at all the things that nature creates, they get better over time. Mostly all living systems evolve and grow and thrive and learn. Those are the things we should be building.’ “I really like that permaculture principles can help the affluent live with less, and the poor live with more,� says Tom Bentley, one of Shaw’s students. “When we look at some of our societal problems, more talking isn’t going to help. Permaculture unleashes people to get their hands dirty.� A key aspect of a permaculture garden is that it is constructed to evolve with its environment. “When I describe permaculture, I must include the word ‘design’�, says Shaw. “It is a system for design that breeds resilient and regenerative qualities. [Permaculture systems]

are not only sustaining, but have the ability to grow in abundance and durability over time.� So, what do these regenerative systems look like? One example is the “edible forest garden,� a perennial garden that is modeled after a forest. “In permaculture, we so often look to the durability and resilience of forest ecosystems. They are so complex. There are mature old trees next to tender seedlings,� says Shaw. In a garden designed with permaculture principals, you might plant an apple tree with a comfrey plant and sage underneath. The apple tree provides fruit in the fall and shades the other plants, while the sage provides herbs and tea all year round, and forage for bees. The comfrey shades the base of the tree, and pulls nutrients up from deep in the soil. In this system, each plant has unique needs that are being supported by the other plants, and unique yields that support the other plants and also human life. “Each plant has many functions, and the orchard as a whole has many functions,� says Shaw. “There is habitat for hummingbirds and bees, healthy soil and food for humans. It’s acting like an ecosystem.�

Sowing the Seeds One great place to start locally is the Permaculture Design Certificate course offered through the Regenerative Design Institute, which runs every November through November. Another option is Cabrillo College. Last fall, the school started offering an Introduction to Permaculture class. “This class is the gateway drug to more permaculture,� says Ken Foster, who teaches the annual course. Foster focuses on permaculture in Santa Cruz, where the concept has really taken off. “The thing that excited me and a lot of people in the class was that it was really tailored to our local culture and local scene,� he says. The class went on field trips to local farms and gardens, visited a house built using natural building techniques and had a beekeeping workshop with local expert Palika Benton. “People were

So far, the class Shaw co-teaches has covered topics as diverse as ecological gardening, water systems, soil ecosystems, landscape design and beekeeping. Future classes will delve into questions such as how to use technology appropriately, and how to integrate livestock into the landscape. Many practitioners see the gardens that come out of permaculture not just as landscapes, but also as places for social change.

BRANCHING OUT David Shaw has helped to foster the permaculture movement locally with his class at the Santa Cruz Waldorf School.

“We want to set ourselves up with a water supply that is sustainable,� says Longinotti, who founded the group. The group saw the proposed desalination plan as a step toward increased reliance upon fossil fuels and a less resilient system, and is calling for more diverse solutions, and more collaboration in determining them. “There are many examples of permaculture in action throughout Santa Cruz,� says Shaw. The list includes multiple seed lending libraries, the wealth of locally grown food and a bi-annual reskilling expo, to name a few. “These are all examples of people finding creative and collective solutions to problems, creating a more resilient community and world.�

Big Picture While Santa Cruz has become a hotspot for permaculture principles, there are many people seeking to carry the movement to a broader audience. Chief among them is Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia’s Garden, which has been the best-selling permaculture book for the last seven years. Hemenway gave a recent talk at UCSC, where he explained how permaculture

surprised at how cross-disciplinary permaculture is.� Besides classes, Santa Cruz has a wealth of companies that can help you “permaculture out� your home, including ecological landscapers, natural builders and people who will install graywater systems. The crux of permaculture, however, is its focus on community. “Many people want to be selfreliant, but we need collective solutions for collective problems,� says Shaw. Take, for example, Transition Santa Cruz. The group is modeled after an international Transition Town movement, which was founded on permaculture’s reliance on resilience and community. The Transition Town movement “supports community-led responses to climate change and shrinking supplies of cheap energy, building resilience and happiness.� The Santa Cruz chapter aims “to build community resilience in the face of environmental challenges,� says member Rick Longinotti. The group is taking on global issues with local actions like potlucks, workshops and meet-ups. One prominent project that came out of Transition Santa Cruz is the group Santa Cruz Desal Alternatives.

CREATURES FEATURED Lydia Nielsen teaches the permaculture course at the Santa Cruz Waldorf School with David Shaw. can help humans create a better world using patterns from nature, and replacing industrialized farming with small-scale growing. “What our farming has become is just another resource extraction scheme. It’s a way of growing people as fast as possible, not necessarily healthy people, not necessarily happy people,� he says. “This is where I turn to the idea of sustainable horticulture. Think garden, not a farm, think hoe, not a plow,� he told the audience. “Horticulture is a way to have stable society, and it’s less destructive than agriculture.� Hemenway went on to list several cultures which have existed for thousands of years as horticultural people, such as the northwest coast peoples or ancient Oaxacans. In fact, scientists are now waking up to the idea that the Amazon jungle, a very “wild� place indeed, was in fact likely tended by humans. “The prevalence of food crops is much higher than you would find in a random distribution,� he says. Permaculture draws on the patterns of these ancestral cultures

to create small-scale, regenerative systems of growing food, Hemenway says. By returning to a world that is patterned after nature, he believes humans can create a better world for all living things. “If you look at all of the things that [humans] build, as soon as we build them, they start to fall apart,� he says. “And if you look at all the things that nature creates, they get better over time. Mostly all living systems evolve and grow and thrive and learn. Those are the things we should be building.� Hemenway suggests starting small, and looking at our own lives. What food can we easily grow for ourselves, or in partnership with neighbors? Are we willing to support a person whose livelihood is growing food by going to a farmers’ market or joining a CSA? Supporting tool-lending libraries or seed-saving workshops are other small solutions that bring big change, he says. Ultimately, his message is hopeful: “Human beings can be this wonderful presence on the landscape, that increases biodiversity and creates a place for us as well.� 0

5 Steps to a Permaculture Garden

B

eing that permaculture is a design process, there is no easy “one size fits all� how-to. Instead, the best way to dive into permaculture is to steep yourself in the design process. Here are the basics; to learn more in depth, check out Toby Hemenway’s Gaia’s Garden or Bill Mollison’s Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual. 1. OBSERVE: What are you working with? Grab a lawn chair and a tasty beverage, and sit down to watch. What are the constant influences on your yard, such as sun, water or wind? What animals make their home there? What is there that you like and don’t like? 2. ENVISION: Now that you know what is already there, what do you imagine it becoming? Brainstorm on what the ideal yard would be for you.

3. PLAN: Once you have a clear idea of what you want, it’s time to actually map it out. How do you turn your ideas into reality? What steps would you take? Draw pictures, make maps, get creative. 4. IMPLEMENT: This is where you get out the tools, put on some grubby clothes and get your hands dirty. It’s great to invite some friends and make a day—or many days—of it. 5. ASSESS: How did you do? If you are satisfied, have a party and celebrate! If you are not satisfied, still have a party, celebrate what you learned—and do it all again. Many permaculturalists would say that this process is never finished, that you are continuously reassessing and adjusting your design. Sally Neas

GREEN GROUNDBREAKER Greenspace’s Lydia Corser started her career as an eco-conscious designer almost 20 years ago.

Everything’s Gone Green Home design is finally catching up to Greenspace’s Lydia Corser BY AARON CARNES

L

ydia Corser remembers when, nearly 20 years ago, she told people that she was a “green� interior designer. She got some confused looks.

A common response was: “So you only work with the color green?� Now, of course, times have changed. Everyone understands that being “green� means being conscientious of the environment. Things have gone so far in the other direction that now all designers, Corser points out, are expected to have at least a basic understanding of the environmental

impact their products have. Corser distinguishes herself, however, with a singular passion, backed up by decades of intensive research. “My internal mission to save the planet drives me in every aspect of my professional and personal life. You can call me a religious zealot, I guess. That’s, I think, the difference,� Corser says. Calling her design company Eco Interiors, she wanted to pursue her love for architecture, design and colors, but still be able to feel good about the effect she was having on the planet. Some of what she does differently

than other designers has to do with the products she’s using— natural paints, for example. But often times, the difference is in the decisions she makes as a designer. If she sees, for instance, cabinets that can be refurnished, she, unlike a lot of other designers, will opt for that instead of tearing them out and starting fresh. This in turns uses less energy and resources, which lowers the impact on the environment.

DOROTHY WISE SYMPHONY LEAGUE OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY

“I’ve actually done that a lot. It works against me in terms of opportunity for business, but I hate to see things wasted. When there’s a perfectly good layout, there’s no reason to redo the whole darn thing. There’s a lot to be done to retro-fit a kitchen and bring it up to snuff,� Corser says. Years ago, she won a design bid for a residential home through the City of Santa Cruz by proposing a layout that stayed within the same blueprint of the house, whereas all of the other designers proposed construction that would build an addition to the home. Additionally Corser owns and operates Greenspace, which sells home and remodeling products, all green of course. But she doesn’t just take the manufacturers’ word on the products she sells; she researches every product in her store independently before it goes on the shelves. She will study everything about it, from its creation and transportation to its actual use in the home, to determine how green it really is. “Some things are really, really

crunchy granola. And some things are like, ‘well, it’s made in the US, and you know, it’ll last a long time.’ There’s always pros and cons to every product, a reason why we have them there. Some of those reasons aren’t as strong as others. Others are way more overwhelming,� Corser says. She works with her customers to understand exactly what is important to them and directs them to the appropriate products. Do they care most about minimizing their carbon footprint? Are they more concerned with lowering toxins in their home? In some cases, Corser recommends that people don’t buy from her at all, but walk next door and purchase products from the Habitat ReStore. “It depends what they’re looking for. A lot of times on small projects, it’s more economical for people [to go the ReStore], and it’s also better for the planet to encourage people to reuse,� Corser says. In the past two decades, she has watched as her industry has changed to become more environmentally conscientious. There was a slight boom in the ’90s that rose and then fell with the dot-com bubble. Things picked up extraordinarily in the mid2000s, but then fell again in 2007, when the economy tanked, which was coincidentally right around the time she opened Greenspace. In many cases, these rises in the public’s interest in green home design have been driven less by a desire to save the planet than a health concern about reducing toxins in their home. “People don’t come to me and say, ‘I want to reduce my carbon footprint, I’m going green.’ The whole wave behind this industry was preceded exactly parallel with the organic food industry,� Corser says. “People think about their health. They have children and they think about what they’re putting in that child’s body. Not just in the food, but what’s also in their indoor environment.�

t’s getting warmer in Santa Cruz these days, festival season is brewing and Stevee Stubblefield sits in a friend’s courtyard, wrapped around a breakfast beer and a fresh printed poster for an event that ripped through his contact list like a lawnmower a few months ago. In January, the North Pacific String Band’s Stubblefield got a call from Jonathan LaBeaud, assistant director at Boulder Creek’s Camp Krem. Could Stubblefield and his friends get a three-day festival of local music at the campgrounds together by April? “I thought about it for a couple days, and basically got to the point where I said, ‘Hell, we’re young; I have faith that we can do it,’� says Stubblefield.

“It was pretty spontaneous, a classic decision on my part to bite off more that I could chew on a whim. In terms of a logistical standpoint, if you were to ask anyone who plans these things, it would be like, ‘Oh yeah, you need a year.’� “Stevee came over and said, ‘We’re going to throw this festival in April,’� remembers engineering student and volunteer Zo Morrin, arms crossed in a metal lawn chair next to Stubblefield. “I told him it was going to be insane. That’s so much work.� The Do-It-Ourselves (DIO) Festival is billing 17 artists that have been collaborating and networking for years with the loosely organized North Pacific Company,

an independent music collective working with headliners at the Crepe Place, Moe’s Alley, Kuumbwa Jazz Center and pretty much every other venue this side of the hill. “I started North Pacific Company a year ago because I wanted there to be some sort of common thread or place of contact between all of these like-minded performers,� explains Stubblefield. “So the second that something like this emerges and we put that call out, everyone is up by their bootstraps and ready to make it happen.� Dan Pothast and the McCoy Tyler Band approached the company on their own, but half the bands have at least one member that went to

high school alongside Stubblefield in San Diego and another quarter of performers were sucked up from time spent in UCSC. Guitarist Saadi Halil saw the North Pacific String Band busking and told them that when he was in second grade he actually rode the bus with NPC’s Kendra McKinley. “We’re bridging the gap,� Stubblefield says. “Like, Dan P and the Bricks is a bad-ass ska band. But they shred. String Quake is going to be doing the revival on Sunday morning; these guys are a harp and cello duet, it’s going to be epic and beautiful.� Kendra McKinley sits in a house downtown as the afternoon sun starts to sink, stressing that all of the people in the bands are also the ones responsible for lugging their equipment up to the camp and making sure there’s food, security, porta potties and coordinated deliveries. “Stevee is really good at generating, as he would say, ‘stoke,’ amongst his friends and other creative communities,� says McKinley, performing vocalist in Gypsy jazz band Farouche, as well as her own eponymous group. “All of these bands will be doing it for free.� “I don’t feel like Coachella is about to happen in the mountains,� says McKinley. “The way that we’re organizing it really appeals to the SC crowd. It’s just, come on up to the forest, where you can dance for cheap all weekend.� Stubblefield leans into the patio table and brandishes the black-andwhite poster. “It’s been a long, short time,� he says. “You know what I mean? Jesus Christ, I just got this two days ago.�

MAPS & ATLASES

SEAN HAYES

CANDYE KANE

CAVE SINGERS

Sean Hayes is all blue eyes, inescapable beard and wild hair, with a raw, wavering voice that woos and weeps. His music plays soft and simple, with just enough piano, guitar, drums, bass and the occasional horn to accompany his warm vibrato vocals without getting carried away. His 2012 album, Before We Turn To Dust, was written and recorded the year he became a father, and you can hear the influences. He sings about the struggle of being a parent while at the same time needing to make money for his family. But don’t worry, if you’re not into that, he also sings about love, sex and death. Moe’s Alley; $18 adv/$22 door; 9pm. (MW)

Candye Kane started out as a porn actress, after a tough childhood she later documented in a memoir that became a stage play. Maybe that’s why she was seen as a bit of a novelty act when she started her music career, although playing the piano with her breasts probably didn’t do much to counter that notion. Gradually, however, what seemed like little more than a kick-in-the-pants take on the classic sexy blues act became a lot more. Kayne worked hard to sharpen her chops, night in and night out, and as her musical talent became as notable as her outrageous style, the awards and critical raves began to pile up. Don Quixote’s; $12 adv/$15 door; 8pm. (SP)

Originally lumped in with the burgeoning indiefolk scene, the Cave Singers were a rootsy, Dylanand Guthrie-inspired trio led by former Pretty Girls Make Graves bassist Derek Fudesco. In the last several years, however, they’ve gone electric and stretched their creative wings to cover territory that embraces rock, alt-country, indie and folk. The common denominator is a commitment to uncluttered, driving songs with well-placed flourishes and plenty of space to let the melodies move freely. Crepe Place; $15; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Maps & Atlases combine technical musicianship with pop-friendly songwriting that has developed and progressed naturally since the band was first formed in 2004 in Chicago. Their music is rooted in math rock, a genre known for its complex, atypical rhythmic structures, odd time signatures, angular melodies and extended chords. It’s difficult to compare them to anyone else— maybe it’s the deep, slightly slurred vocals, or it could be their skilled layering and song structure that sets them apart. Beware and Be Grateful, their most recent album, has gone even further in experimentation as they gather inspiration from an unexpected place, Prince. Catalyst; $10 adv/$12 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

Ever blurring the lines between acoustic and electronic, rock and jazz, grooveladen and free, this is a band that bows only to the will of creativity. Kuumbwa; $25 adv/$28 door; 7pm. (CJ)

BUILT TO SPILL Of the swell of indie rock bands that emerged in the 1990s, Built to Spill is one of a handful whose underground credibility, creative integrity and sales are still steadily rolling along.The creation of frontman Doug Martsch, the band, with its catchy melodies, driving rhythms, jangly guitar-work and lo-fi aesthetic, influenced a generation of bands that followed, including Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie. One reason for the sustained cred may be that through lineup changes, indie stardom and major label success, Martsch has

RUSHAD EGGLESTON Rushad Eggleston is a world-renowned cellist with absolute mastery over his instrument. He’s also a high-energy, outrageously inventive artist who fancies himself a bit of an acrobat. Born in a log cabin in Big Sur, Eggleston takes the cello where it has never gone before and does so with flair usually reserved for carnivals. But, he’s no gimmick. At his core of his act is a virtuoso who personifies music, leaving smiling faces and shaking heads in his wake. Co-founder of the roots ensemble Crooked Still, Eggleston was nominated for a Grammy with Fiddlers 4 and is currently working on a Bay Area side band called Tornado Riders.

You can hear a whole host of African and American influences in the music of the Afrofunk Experience. The godfathers of modern African music, ‘70s funk and vintage reggae cast a shadow over the band’s work, from Fela Kuti to Thomas Mapfumo, James Brown to Bob Marley. But the crack 10-piece band has completely synthesized these inspirations, creating an kinetic, ecstatic sound that is undeniably their own. It’s far-reaching music from a global village that only grows more interconnected by the day, delivered by musicians with chops and energy to burn. Moe’s Alley; $7 adv/$10 door; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

The New World A man. A woman. A horizon line. Terrence Malick’s To the Wonder looks wonderful but plays strange. BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

E

xasperatingly beautiful, Terrence Malick’s lesser followup to his monumental The Tree of Life continues that great film’s indirect, simple storytelling. In To the Wonder, Malick conceives of the friction between a man and a woman as an alchemical conflict of air vs. earth. The ďŹ lm is a woman’s version of that line in Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place: Marina (Olga Kurylenko) is born when Neil (Ben Affleck) kisses her, her life taking place between the emergence of the Eurostar from the dark Chunnel and a ďŹ nal departure down the darkening corridor of a jet bridge at the airport. Marina is a blithe spirit, whose love for her man is love with a capital L. Without reservations, she makes the sacriďŹ ce—trading Paris for northern Oklahoma to be with him. Can this overpowering spirit of Eros

be contained by a Ben Affleck character? Neil hails from Oklahoma (no one ever suggested Oklahomaism in Ben Affleck before); he has unďŹ nished romantic business with a childhood sweetheart (Rachel McAdams). Since Marina is there to be in love and dance her way into reveries, maybe it would have been more interesting to see more of Neil at work—not that he ever discusses his job with her. He’s a traveling EPA investigator, checking for chemical runoffs and contaminated air and groundwater. At one point, Malick has a character say, “In a dream, you can’t make mistakes.â€? Putting Affleck’s silhouette against the luminously photographed locations works, as does showing him in a truck surrounded by a grave, slightly ominous herd of bison. The locations include the prairie

and a housing development on the edge of forever, with a halo of blue on the horizon—the vast skies with their slices and scribbles of contrail deserving to be seen in widescreen. Do it fast, because To the Wonder is too strange a movie to stick around in theaters. Neil can be a partner in Marina’s essential childishness—the bliss to which the title refers—when they bounce, as if on trampolines, on the waterlogged sands at the foot of Mont St. Michel. What ďŹ nally happens is what’s called in vaudeville the Apache Dance—choreographed turbulence, tossings to the oor, a withholding male and a woman so airy she’s airyfairy. But Affleck is one tough guy who can’t dance, with his unmussable hair and the ducky-looking old-school tattoos on his shoulders.

If you have the ability to ignore Affleck, To the Wonder is a visual stunner, with a surprising transcendental enthusiasm for everything. When the camera coasts in over the polished wood oors of a 3,000-square-foot tract house, the shot is as reverently done as if we were gliding through a chapel. The bounty of a supermarket is exclaimed over and danced through. But on the other side of the line, we get a sting of sadness visiting the poor part of town full of 1950s one-family houses that look so much like the summer streets in The Tree of Life; now, 60 years later, they look splintered and poor. There’s a perfectly turned subplot counterpoint of a heartsick priest (Javier Bardem) trying to fake his faith into life. And his duties are arduous: deliverance of Holy Communion to the prisoners at the Osage County Jail. Putting his ďŹ ngers into these mouths with the host is a test of faith in itself. In the old houses turned into shanties, the priest visits the poor people wasting away, displaying their bullet wounds, some half-intelligible from madness and disease. There’s a “Humanity Unitâ€? credited at the end (this would seem to be the most necessary job in the cinema industry today), apparently hired for arranging the connection of the cast with these suffering people playing themselves. “The movie-loving esh is weak,â€? said Graham Greene, and an entire movie about this priest’s troubles would have induced squirming. Being the best actor in the ďŹ lm—turning out a portrait of a priest that you could put next to Bresson’s Diary of a Country Priest— Bardem keeps the subplot from being a minor part of the ďŹ lm, whose point is that divine love is just as withheld as romantic love.

New ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES (1993) Most fans agree this sequel is far superior to the first Barry Sonnenfeld-directed Addams Family flick. More Wednesday, more Morticia, more Gomez, more fun. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) THE BIG WEDDING (R; 90 min) The French film Mon Frere Se Marie gets an American remake from writer-director Justin Zackham, and an all-star cast featuring Robert DeNiro, Susan

Sarandon, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl and Amanda Seyfried. Wacky wedding comedy? You bet! This time, a divorced couple pretends to be still together as their family gathers for the nuptials. (Opens Fri at Aptos, Scotts Valley and Green Valley) THE COMPANY YOU KEEP (R; 121 min.) Robert Redford directs and stars in this political thriller as a former Weather Underground activist who’s managed to hide from the FBI for 30 years, until he’s discovered by reporter Shia LaBeouf. (Opens Fri at the Nick)

S H O W T IM E S

DISCONNECT (R; 115 min.) A hard-working lawyer always on his cell phone never has time for his family. His story collides with many others to weave a dramatic thriller about people struggling to connect with others in this wired world. (Opens Fri at the Nick) MUD (PG-13; 130 min.) Ellis and Neckbone, two 14-year-olds living on a river in Arkansas, go on an adventure and come across some surprises, including a very gritty Matthew McConaughey. (Opens Fri at the Del Mar)

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

PAIN AND GAIN (R; 130 min) Mark Walhberg and Dwayne Johnson are bodybuilders who take up a life of crime in this thriller based on a true story. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

Reviews 42 (PG-13) A crotchety old Harrison Ford signs Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers and changes sports history forever. ADMISSION (PG-13; 113 min) Director Paul Weitz has made movies as good as

About a Boy and as bad as Little Fockers. He certainly has made more interesting films than his debut American Pie allowed anyone to expect. This time around, he teams two heroes of geek culture, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, for a comedy about an uptight Princeton admissions officer (played by—oh, c’mon, guess who!) whose life is shaken up by a devil-may-care alternative school principal (again, guess who) and a student who might be the son she gave up for adoption. THE CROODS (PG; 98 min) Sort of like

The Flintstones for the deconstructionist 21st century, this animated family flick has a prehistoric clan leaving the safety of its cave for the proverbial incredible journey. With lots of hip modern references of course, and Nick Cage as father Grug. EVIL DEAD (R; 91 min.) Staying in a remote cabin, five friends discover The Book of the Dead and unwittingly summon demons living in the nearby woods. Oops. The fight for survival is on. G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (PG-13; 110 min.) For this sequel to the original G.I. Joe movie you already forgot happened, the producers hired the director of the Step Up movies and the writers of Zombieland. Nobody saw that coming, that’s for sure. The cast of Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum and RZA, however, suggests more of the original’s almostas-lifelike-as-the-toys approach. GINGER & ROSA (PG-13; 90 min.) The year is 1962. Ginger and Rosa, inseparable teenage friends living in London, watch the world and their friendship change as the Cuban Missile Crisis looms. JACK, THE GIANT SLAYER 3D (PG-13; 114 min.): The classic tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk� is revisited with the tagline “If you think you know the story, you don’t know jack.� In this version, Jack climbs a towering vine, not in search of treasure, but in an attempt to save a kingdom, and its princess. JURASSIC PARK 3D (PG-13; 127 min.) Jeff Goldblum runs around a dinosaur-filled park screaming in excitement that he has finally reached the peak of his career. Enjoy that while it lasts. OBLIVION (PG-13; 126 min.) Tom Cruise, an experienced sci-fi performer, plays the part of a drone repairman on the devastated planet Earth. But when Cruise finds a woman in a downed spacecraft, he starts questioning his bosses and his own acting skills. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R; 120 min) The director of Training Day, who hasn’t made a good movie since, returns with this Gerard Butler actioner about a disgraced federal agent who must save the president when he’s trapped in a terrorist attack on the White House.

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? THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES (R 140; min.) A former lover (Eva Mendes) tells motorcycle stuntman Luke (Ryan Gosling) they have a child together. Luke starts robbing banks to provide for them and a cop (Bradley Cooper) gets on his case. RENOIR (R; 111 min.) In this French film, a wounded WW1 veteran returns home to his artistic father on the French Riviera, where he feels inspired by a young female model. ROOM 237 (NR; 102 min.) Do you love The Shining? Not as much as the people in this movie, we can guarantee you that. The documentary lays out the many theories that have sprung up around Kubrick’s adaptation of the Stephen King story. THE SAPPHIRES (PG-13; 103 min.) When the Sapphires, four talented Aboriginal girls, entertain the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968, they learn a little bit about love and friendship in the process. Yay! SCARY MOVIE 5 (PG-13; 85 min.) Somewhere the Wayans Brothers are rolling over in a big pile of money. TO THE WONDER (R; 112 min.) Neil (Ben Affleck) falls for a Ukrainian divorcee living in Paris and invites her to live in Oklahoma with him. TRANCE (R; 101 min.) An art auctioneer and hypnotherapist team up to steal back a lost painting from dangerous gangsters. Oh, the price we pay for quality art. UPSIDE DOWN (PG-13; 100 min.) For 10 years Adam has loved Eden, who lives in a twinned world, where gravity pulls in the opposite direction (a great excuse when someone doubts your long-distance girlfriend is real). Desperate, he begins a dangerous quest to reconnect with her. UPSTREAM COLOR (NR; 96 min.) From visionary filmmaker Shane Carruth, a man and a woman feel drawn to each other by an ageless organism that threatens to undermine their identities.

Coffee Goes Steampunk BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

company with the glamorously nerdish name of Alpha Dominche has devised a sleek bit of computerindustrial eye candy that makes four cups of microtuned coffee in under a minute. Very urban moderne, the glass and metal device is called Steampunk. Come and check it out at Verve, where, according to Verve product developer Jesse Crouse, the machine can turn out “anything that steeps.� And that means brewed coffee, pressed coffee, drip coffee and even teas. From the purveyor’s

point of view, what’s exciting is that Steampunk not only allows for a seriously customized pour—“We can manipulate water temperature, agitation, time�—it also allows one barista to finesse and deliver four separate styles/cups of coffee at once. From my point of view as a consumer, it means that if I’m asking for a Guatemalan press-style cup of coffee, I’m going to get the same cup every time. Consistency at the flick of an elegantly designed switch. “There are a lot of new products coming out all the time

in the specialty coffee industry,� Crouse tells me. “Steampunk won the Best New Product award at the 2012 SCAA expo.� The potential for sculpting and tinkering with blends and styles of flavor is endless. The completely programmable Steampunk allows for consistency and nuance. And Crouse assures me that you don’t need an advanced degree in caffeine to operate the elegant device. Training yes, a brain implant no. Verve is the West Coast rep for the gorgeous new brewing

Watsonville can help youngsters develop a hands-on feel for planting, harvesting, preserving and cooking with some of the 50 fruits and veggies grown at the Farm. And even art-making too. “We strive to develop a compassionate community of young farmers, artists, foodies, naturalists and environmentalists,� says Live Earth Farm Discovery Program (LEFDP) director Jessica Ridgeway. “We’ll begin the summer with a week of Art on the Farm Camp June 17–21. June 24–28, we will debut Young Farmer’s Camp. We cannot wait to meet our first cohort of 3-to-6-yearold campers July 8–12 for Sprouts Camp. And we will offer one more week of our tried and true Art on the Farm Camp July 15–19.� It’s a terrific way for kids to experience the unique joys of farm life, and the vitality of the earth. From farm to fork, child to community, this is a prime way to begin connections that can last a lifetime. Visit the Live Earth Farm website for details. 0

BAVARIA BY THE BAY As head chef at Tyrolean Inn, Gregory Magnusson avoids cliches.

Gregory Magnusson Head chef, Tyrolean Inn

I

f Gregory Magnusson is any indicator, you don’t need to travel to Germany—or even drink—to work at a German restaurant. The head chef for Tyrolean Inn in Ben Lomond grew up in San Francisco and has worked at the Tyrolean since 1987. 6]e [O\g bW[Sa VOdS g]c PSS\ b] 5S`[O\g- Myself? Never.

Probably because I’ve been working. EVOb¸a g]c` TOd]`WbS RWaV- Oh lordy, it’s hard to say. Our signature piece is the schweinshaxe. That’s a crispy pork shank. It takes about six, seven hours to cook, but it’s basically tender, fall-off-the-bone with the crispy shell of the skin on the outside. The sauerbraten is an excellent dish. Of course, all the schnitzel. We make the Bavarian-style jaeger schnitzel with a creamy mushroom sauce, where you have the combination of mushroom and pork. 6]e R] g]c [OYS bVS aQVeSW\aVOfS- We season it with some caraway,

a little pepper, a dash of garlic, paprika with some stock, onions, celery and carrots. And we turn up the heat and put it in the oven covered for about six hours. Around the fourth hour we uncover it, so it cooks off to a nice crisp shell, almost like a crackling skin. And the meat is tender enough you could almost eat it with a spoon. Very flavorful. We had a vegetarian working here, and she tried it just to see what it was like. We got her back on meat! EVOb O`S a][S bW^a T]` ZSO`\W\U b] Q]]Y 5S`[O\ T]]R- The

German and East Europeans like their vinegars—there’s a lot of sweet and sour like the red cabbage, the sauerkraut, sauerbraten. That’s beef that has vinegar and a little bit of sugar in it. The most important thing in any style of cooking is don’t overcook. If you want a simple basic dish, you just get your plain breadcrumbs, a little flour, egg, a nice hot grill and you can get yourself a nice schnitzel. A little lemon with it goes good. EVOb¸a g]c` TOd]`WbS [SOb- Pfeffersteak, coated with fresh

peppercorns. Sautee up some onions, throw some bacon, a little red wine, a little demi-glace in there, and put that over the top. Jacob Pierce
