Myth Buster

Intrusion Issue Can’t Wait

Re: “Misguided By Voices� (Cover, April 10): Thank you Ms. Perry for your thorough coverage in the Santa Cruz Weekly article on “Busting the Mental Illness Myths.� Articles such as yours are important because they explore how stigma impacts mental health consumers and hinders

The problem of saltwater intrusion in Santa Cruz County, especially in Pajaro Valley, was identified over 50 years ago, yet the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors postponed a decision to declare a south county groundwater emergency in 2008.

Equally important, the decision has not been revisited since then. The southernmost Soquel watershed drains into the Santa Cruz south county of Pajaro Valley; it seems appropriate to expect a response from the County Board of Supervisors in regard to the south county groundwater emergency, especially since a desal plant in Santa Cruz is under serious consideration. The only member to [dissent from the vote] to table the decision five years ago was then-chairwoman, Ellen Pirie. As reported in the Sentinel, she felt that declaring a groundwater emergency would “put the community on notice that the problem is serious and needs to be resolved.� I can strongly suggest no better time than the present to reopen the discussion. During the time the decision was being tabled, strawberry producers in Watsonville were enjoying recordbreaking seasons with an upward trajectory. It’s now many years later and the Capital Press just reported an “obliterating� record-breaking California season last year, the sixth record-breaking berry harvest in a row. Agricultural land in Pajaro Valley has continued to expand despite the longknown water overdraft. According to ScienceNotes from UCSC last year, land devoted to growing strawberries “ballooned from 27K acres in 2002 to 38K areas in 2012.� Agriculture in dry California is estimated to use more than 80% of available water. Big growers use a lot of water. In the five years since the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors postponed a decision to declare a south county groundwater emergency, it appears to not only be “business as usual,� but a green light for expansion. Perhaps it is time for a new decision that will “put the community on notice that the problem is serious and needs to be resolved.� If enough people write, the Board can be encouraged to reopen this unpleasant discussion.

Currents WEIGHING THE MERITS A resolution to allow openly gay Boy Scouts will be voted on May 23.

Scouts’ Honor? Boy Scouts of America could accept openly gay scouts— with a catch BY DOMINIC FRACASSA

O

n May 23, more than 1,400 delegates who make up the Boy Scouts of America’s National Council will vote whether to end one type of discrimination based on sexual orientation—but leave another in place. The proposed resolution, which will be discussed at the palatial and fittingly named Gaylord Texan resort in Grapevine, Texas, would officially open up membership to gay scouts under the age of 18. In a letter sent last month to delegates, Boy Scouts of America’s national president, Wayne Perry, cited the evolving attitudes toward gays and lesbians among scout parents under 50. “We believe the BSA can no longer sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, controversial and unresolved societal issue,� Perry wrote.

While the landmark resolution, if approved, would open scouting’s doors to gay boys, the organization would continue to bar gay and lesbian adults from serving as scoutmasters. Critics on both sides of the issue see the resolution as a baby-splitting attempt at compromise that’s destined to fail. GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has actively campaigned for a complete repeal of the BSA’s ban on gay and lesbian participation. Following Perry’s April 19 letter, GLAAD Vice President of Communications Rich Ferraro issued a scathing statement admonishing BSA for choosing to maintain the gay adult ban. “Yet again, the Boy Scouts of America has failed its members, corporate sponsors, donors and the millions of Americans who agree that the time to end discrimination throughout scouting

is now,� Ferraro said. “By refusing to consider an end to its ban on gay and lesbian parents, the Boy Scouts have missed an opportunity to exercise leadership and usher the organization back to relevancy.� As it stands today, BSA policy prohibits what it calls “sexual advocacy� of all kinds. Simply put, that means discussions about sex and sexuality are absent from the scouting curriculum altogether. Margaret Caldwell, director of field services for the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Boy Scouts Council, which serves 23,000 scouts in Santa Cruz County and three neighboring counties, says that “sexuality is not a part of our program. “We’re not here to talk about a subject matter that we believe belongs in the home or in the education system or however that works for individual families,� Caldwell says.

This stance has led to an atmosphere in scouting remarkably similar to the former tenets of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell� in the U.S. military. Ironically, many of those who remain adamantly opposed to any kind of institutionalized acceptance of gays use DADT to justify their position. John Stemberger, founder of onmyhonor.net, an online hub dedicated to opposing “open homosexuality in the Scouts,� says that accepting openly gay members into the BSA’s ranks would be tantamount to endorsing the entirety of what he refers to as the “gay agenda.� “Being gay is not who you are, being gay is a political movement,� Stemberger says. While he admits that gay scouts and scout leaders are undoubtedly already involved in scouting programs all over the country, Stemberger believes that the BSA’s current policies prevent them from “hijacking� the organization’s national agendas. Zach Wahls, an eagle scout and product of a two-mother household, is familiar with Stemberger’s positions. In the past, the two have debated one another on CNN. Wahls helped found Scouts for Equality, an advocacy group promoting policies of nondiscrimination and tolerance within the BSA. He says that Stemberger and others’ opposition to the proposed resolution can be traced to anxiety and ignorance. Wahls says that the BSA’s resolution is a step in the right direction, but it sends a particularly confusing message to scouts about their place in the organization after their 18th birthday. “This is the first time in decades that the Boy Scouts has ever considered lifting this policy in any respect, and we have to acknowledge that,� Wahls says. “But we also have to understand that somehow telling scouts that the day you turn 18, if you are a gay eagle scout you are no longer qualified to be a boy scout, that is just as damaging a message as telling that kid when he’s in the program he’s not good enough to be a scout.� 0

The Bigger Victory The Santa Cruz Warriors’ number one fan reflects on their first season BY FRED KEELEY

S

tate Farm Arena in McAllen, Texas is about three times the size and capacity of the Kaiser-Permanente Arena in our little town, and is the home of the NBA’s developmental league champion Rio Grande Valley Vipers. They won the championship on April 27 against the Santa Cruz Warriors. The play was fast and aggressive, and the score fairly close most of the way. The Viper fans were excited, loud and happy as little clams by the end. You have probably already read all of that, but there are a couple of other thoughts that are, perhaps, worth pondering as the Santa Cruz Warriors end their inaugural season. Much less than a year ago, the Golden State Warriors, under new ownership, approached the City of Santa Cruz, proposing a publicprivate venture to move their newly acquired NBA D-League team from the frozen Dakotas to the Mediterranean climate by the bay. A mix of mostly excitement and some skepticism coursed quickly through City Hall and local homes and businesses. Why do very rich sports team owners need any help from local taxpayers? Will Santa Cruz support a professional sports franchise, given our preference for individual sports? (Think surfing, mountain and road biking, diving and stand-up paddle boarding.) Can locals afford professional sports prices? Where will they play, and where will we park? Is there enough time to get ready to tip off in December? In a display of mutual trust, civic pride and community betterment, our town said we can and should do this. In less than four months, the City Council had acted to make an informed, careful decision to enter into a business arrangement that brought the Warriors to town;

constructed a 2,700-seat temporary arena; negotiated a set of strong, but fair, operating conditions to address very legitimate concerns of local residents; and the game was on! Local folks flocked to the games. Businesses had more off-season customers. Sales tax revenues increased. Warrior gear was considered cool to wear and display. And, importantly, the team on the hardwood was great. Off the court, the Warriors established themselves as local stars who were kind, humble, community oriented and so darn sweet to kids that it made your heart swell. It is that aspect of the Warriors arrival that, perhaps, is the biggest added value to our little town. A dozen and a half young men, nearly all tall, athletic, smart and African American, grinding out hunger, helping school children read, introducing the little boys and girls to the ocean and its treasurers, and on and on and on. Each game was a mix not regularly seen in town. Old Santa Cruz, old people (like me), new Santa Cruz, young families and kids, kids, kids. All of these thoughts and memories of the Warriors’ first season ran through my tiny brain as I counted down the last seconds of the season with the team in Texas. The dunks, the steals, the heartstopping last-minute heroics from player after player in game after game will linger and then fade. What will not fade is the bright memory of happy children, excited about their new, very tall friends. Friends who not only played great basketball, but who talked to them, smiled at them, cared about them. That, my friends, is a welcome addition to our town. Guest contributor Fred Keeley is the Santa Cruz County Treasurer.

What’s the allure of urban backpacking? Only that it’s saving the Earth, inspiring art and making hikers look at their local environment in a completely new light. Here’s how one reporter took the first step.

COMING SOON TO YOUR BACKYARD Left to right: Santa Cruz’s Laurence Bedford, Ben Rice, Richard Stockton and John Sandidge on their trek of the coastline.

BY GEORGIA PERRY

T

he first thing to know about walking the California coastline, from Point Lobos to the Golden Gate Bridge, is that it isn’t exactly legal. But when you have a radio host with you, you’ll find there isn’t much he can’t talk his way out of. The same goes for the professional entertainer. And the lawyer—well, it never hurts to have a lawyer along, does it?

“Sometimes you have to trespass!� declares John Sandidge, the snowy-haired host of “Please Stand By,� the in-studio live music show on KPIG, as we make our way up Highway 1 in his Grand Marquis. Also in the car are Richard “Sticky Icky Dicky Bob� Stockton, the 64-year-old comedian behind the Planet Cruz variety show and attorney Ben Rice, also 64, perhaps best known locally for his advocacy of medical marijuana. Clad in jeans and thermals, and loaded on coffee (and a peanut butter cookie for Sandidge), the trio is ready for one of their weekly coastal walks.

9

Sandidge, the oldest of the crew by a decade, is the one responsible for today’s outing, and several others like it over the last two years. He, Stockton and Rice, along with Laurence Bedford, who owns the Rio Theater and wasn’t able to make it today, have so far walked just under 100 miles of consecutive coastline in 5-6 mile increments, driving to one location one week, then picking up where they left off the following week. The rules are simple: “If there’s a beach area, you walk on it,� says Sandidge, who feels that when it comes to exploring the California coastline, the ends justify the means. “There should be a walking path along our beaches,� he insists. For now, the men make their own trails. Sometimes there’s an animal path they can follow, or there’ll be a low tide and enough beach to walk on. Sometimes they have to traipse through brambles of blackberries. After one of their walks,

Sandidge discovered eleven ticks on his leg. “We don’t know what we’re going to find,� he says. Indeed. Or who will find them. Peter and Donna Thompson, authors of The Muir Ramble Route, a guidebook that traces John Muir’s 1868 walk from San Francisco to Yosemite, were surprised to one day find Sandidge and company wandering around in their yard several weeks ago. The Thompsons invited them in for coffee. They got to talking and it turns out they have the same hobby.

Step Up The Thompsons define this sort of long-distance walking as “urban backpacking.� The goals of traditional backpacking—to walk from one spot of natural beauty to another—almost always require an automobile to get “to nature� in the first place. The Thompsons advocate taking it one step further by walking through cities to the natural areas.

LET’S GET LOST Sandidge and Stockton demonstrate their unique navigational style to our reporter.

“It is this idea of walking as a green, sustainable activity. Walking to take your vacation and to find enjoyment in your own local area and local nature,� says Peter, who believes walking is a vital piece of the conservation puzzle. “Our belief is, as more people see the natural beauty in their own areas, they’ll realize that the people who are trying to protect them aren’t crazy.� John Muir, the inspiration for the Thompsons and countless others (“Ask any person that backpacks who influenced you most, and it’ll either be their scout leader or John Muir,� says Peter), would likely agree—the ties between his 1,000-plus mile walks through natural areas and his founding of the Sierra Club are indisputable. Driving up Highway 1, Sandidge tells me the last time they hiked near this area, they came upon a long dirt path they thought would lead them to the beach. But instead they wound up on someone’s private property: A rusty pickup truck pulled up beside them and a menacing voice growled, “You boys lost?� I instinctively suck in air with a deep hiss. That’s the stuff of latenight campfire stories, if I’ve ever

heard it. “What did you say?� I venture. “I said we were lost,� Sandidge says with a shrug. “Another time, we told somebody we were looking for a missing little boy. ‘Have you seen him? Have you seen our little boy?’� Rice and Stockton chuckle from the backseat. I can’t tell whether this is joke laughter or knowing laughter, but I join in anyway. Of course, when John Muir walked, he didn’t have a trespassing problem, says Donna. But today things are different. “In our culture we put great value on people being able to have private property and keep people off of it,� she warns.

One Everything With that in mind, Sandidge, Stockton, Rice and I set off into Aùo Nuevo State Reserve a few miles north of Davenport—one of only five breeding areas for elephant seals in the United States. Unfortunately, the season is just about over so we won’t see any today, says Sandidge. I make a mental note to come back next year. As we descend upon the beach I immediately feel dwarfed by the nature around us. There are sandy hills and rocky bluffs to my left tall

‘Another time, we told somebody we were looking for a missing little boy. ‘Have you seen him? Have you seen our little boy?’’ As the four of us move down the beach, we shift in and out of arrangements naturally, like the tide, walking sometimes in pairs, sometimes all in a row. Rice tells me that Stockton often walks by himself, scribbling ideas for jokes into his notebook. Stockton came unprepared today, with a straw cowboy hat, Los Angelesready sunglasses and street shoes, which he went home to change out of while the others were waiting to see if Bedford materialized. He and I walk together for a bit and I mine him for story ideas and writing tips. Eventually we stop to admire a collection of dark algae-covered rocks, visible in the low tide. I point out a maroon starfish clinging to one of the rocks. “So why do you do this?� I ask. Stockton was the last to join the crew, and in fact missed the first couple

legs of their collective journey. He says he comes because it connects him to the earth and reminds him that everything is one. He tells me about a vision he once had (“When I was on a substance, but still�) in which we humans were just like bubbles, floating next to the surface of the ocean, part of it all. We are made of water, after all. I inhale and take it in. We stand there for a moment, watching the waves roll in and then flatten back into the sea. “Hey, down in front!� comes the call. “Can’t see!� Sandidge and Rice have come up behind us, pretending the ocean is some crowded concert. We laugh and continue on. Bubbles bouncing in a row. The lack of a predetermined trail on this land frees us to direct our attention anywhere we like. In some places, the sand looks so pristine, like icing smoothed over a cake. In one spot the sand, wet with the trickle of fresh water coming down from the hills, sparkles with flecks of gold. In some places the rocks of the bluffs are draped in layers like gothic lace. In others they’re stained deep rust red. Sandidge says the bluffs are constantly eroding and moving back. He says there’s a native Chumash word for this, called trancas. It means, “walking mountains.� We meander onward for another couple miles, over a big sheath of rock with billiard-ball-sized holes in it, filled with still water and the remnants of little crustaceans’ shells. We traverse a shelf of spongy strawlike matter, and then move back down onto the sand. But our eyes, as they combed the beach, were too focused on the small details around us to realize where we’d wandered. Sandidge notices first, and extends his arm in front of me to stop me in my tracks. “Shhh,� he whispers. He is huge, and mean looking, and this is definitely his territory. At first glance I thought he was asleep but— shit, he’s looking right at us. Elephant seals’ eyes are so dark and so eerily round that they look like holes bored into their heads. Expressionless eyes, I decide then, are the scariest kind. The sand-colored seal lies no more than 120 feet in front of us, about the

enough that I can’t see anything beyond them. To my right is the mighty Pacific Ocean, softened by the fog into a dark matte blue that blends with the sky out at the horizon. We step carefully across the rocks carpeting the sand. Fist-sized rocks. Dinosaur egg-sized. Rocks that could easily rotate your ankle if you’re not paying attention. I say a silent thank you that they’re not rain-slicked. Rice keeps his eyes on the ground.

POINT TAKEN Left to right: Rice, Stockton, Bedford and Sandidge seek protected status. distance from home plate to second base. Frozen, I stare at him for a few long moments before my eyes adjust to the whole scene around me. Not another 100 feet behind him is a colony of at least 30 seals, lying together in a marbled tableau of caramel, dark brown and cream. “Come on,� Rice whispers, and we backtrack a few feet so as not to disturb the elephant seals, which I later read can weigh as much as 5,000 pounds and move “faster than you would think,� according to Sandidge. We climb up a gulley in the hills just above the seals and sit down in the grass. With a sigh of relief from our safe perch we take in the magnificent view. “Is this lunch, then?� Sandidge asks. We take sandwiches and water out of our packs, and let the sun peeking through the clouds warm our necks. Below us, the seals lie in a cluster, resting their heads on top of one another. I think of my cat this morning, laying her chin on my arm and purring. They come to the beach to mate. One male will have a harem of 30 or 40 females, but other non-dominant males linger menacingly around the outside of the pack, waiting to mount a stray female that may wander over. Below us we can see the peripheral male we almost walked head-first into begin to move towards the pack, propelling himself across the sand

with his back fin like someone doing “the worm� at a party. As his body moves a ripple goes through it, like a ribbon of movement in a water-bed, and he leaves a wide trail behind him in the sand. Back at the park entrance, talking about the seals, Rice tells me “when they fight they make these weird, wild, incredible noises.� He wasn’t lying. I hear it now and they sound like they’re belching in each others’ faces. Gargling. Wailing. The male retreats, and the group settles back to peace.

The Joy of Lollygagging After 40 minutes or so (“This is some championship lollygagging,� John announces) we get up and head back. They’ll finish their trek this month, but Sandidge says their plan for after that is to just reverse direction and do it again. He says even the exact same places can seem totally new, if you just approach them from another angle. “You see it all totally differently,� he says. “And there is so much to see. What’s on the beaches and along the trails, it’s just incredible. I mean, no day is the same. Whenever we go, it has always been great, and no day is similar to another day. You’re always in some kind of a different situation.� 0

can only suspect his weight is why he is walking slowly on a treadmill on his hind legs, with water up to his waist, while his human holds him upright. A soulful R&B track is the only sound, so when the cat looks mournfully askew and opens his mouth, we hear‌nothing. PEEK-A-BOO CAT IN A SUITCASE: When taunted with the gentle scratching of a ballpoint pen, this cat pops out of the canvas suitcase in which it is hiding, with the fury of 20 Vikings. But when (spoiler alert) the canvas suitcase cover comes up after a minute and a half, the cat’s all, “Who, me?â€? All in all, it makes for one “exhilarating, unpredictable romp,â€? as Roger Ebert probably once said about When Harry Met Sally. (RIP.)

GO AHEAD AND LAUGH, BUT I AM SERIOUSLY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU Internet-cat-video sensation Maru 4 will be feeling boxed in by all the attention after this week’s First Annual Internet Cat Video Film Fest.

Meow Mix Our cat video critic takes a hard look at this week’s film festival BY GEORGIA PERRY

W

hen my editor told me I had a full page to fill with my musings on Santa Cruz’s first annual Internet Cat Video Festival, the first thing I did was wet my pants. Just kidding—I’m litter box potty trained, duh! No, the first thing I did was text my cat: “OMG girl we have plans for Saturday night!!! Xoxomeow ~Mom P.S. I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND. <333â€? After the entire hour and a half-long playlist—to be shown in all its glory to attendees at Rebecca’s CafĂŠ on Saturday night—had paraded across my computer screen, I turned to the notes I had taken, only to see the words on the page morph into interlocking cat silhouettes floating like orbs in the texty abyss.

“Uh oh,� I said to my tabby cat Veruca, as she poked holes in my down comforter with her claws while purring. “I might have just OD’d on cats. Hey, by the way—do your meows ever sound like dog barks when I’m not around?� (Google: “Cat gets caught barking by a human and resumes meowing.�) The world of the Internet cat video, it turns out, can be surprisingly artistic. “Some of them are actually films— quite the well put-together pieces of cinema,� says festival organizer and Tannery resident Kevin Devaney. Oftentimes they are scored with gripping, apropos soundtracks and the plots of several home video-style submissions have the full-circle feel of successful comedy sketches. Also, lest we forget: cats have such beautiful soft fur! If that ain’t art, I don’t want to

snuggle what art is. In preparation for the festival, here’s a rundown of some of the bounty that will be bestowed upon attendees: I AM MARU 4: Anyone who knows anything about famous Japanese Internet cat Maru knows that Maru loves boxes. This edition of Maru—who boasts over 300,000 YouTube subscribers—is ballet-like, as Maru explores the cardboard terrain of her(?) home, to the tune of a gentle accordion. Watching Maru is like sinking into a warm bath whilst eating a peanut butter sandwich. (Just go with it.) A FAT CAT ON A TREADMILL UNDERWATER: If I had to guess, I would guess that this long-haired cat weighs at least a solid 18 pounds. One

WELCOME TO KITTY CITY: This Salvador Dali-esque animated short, in which cats multiply into more cats, Transformer-style monster cats and cattrains in which other cats ride, is, simply put, one of the most bizarre things in existence. As YouTube commenter Dreadlockminer put it, “Am I tripping on acid?� HENRI 2, PAW DE DEUX: The ennui felt by the cat Henri is universal: “I am free to go. Yet I remain.� “We cannot escape ourselves.� “The 15 hours a day I sleep have no effect. I wake to the same tedium.� This black and white French film (with English subtitles) imparts upon its viewers the melancholy wisdom of a cat confined to a typical cat existence. And after viewing nearly two hours of cat videos straight through, humans who make it to this point in the festival will no doubt nod solemnly in solidarity, as they whisper to Henri’s ethereal presence: Je comprends, Henri. Je comprends. Santa Cruz First Annual Internet Cat Video Film Festival Saturday, May 11, 8-10pm; free Rebecca’s Cafe at the Tannery, Santa Cruz

JUNIOR BROWN

TIFT MERRITT

KEPI GHOULIE

ALLEN STONE

For years, country guitarist Junior Brown hopped back and forth between the electric guitar and the pedal steel guitar as songs dictated. Then one day, in what can safely be described as a musical revelation, he designed (and had built) a double-necked guitar that combined the two instruments. With his newlycreated “guit-steel� in hand, he was no longer limited to one sound and he quickly developed into one of the blazing-est, shredding-est country 12-stringers that the genre has ever known. And just to keep things lively, he throws a little rockabilly, honky tonk and surf into the mix. Kuumbwa; $20 adv/$23 door; 7pm & 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Tift Merritt has carved a nice groove for herself in the country music world, where the singer-songwriter has been a quiet but consistent presence for over a decade. Merritt’s strength, however, is not in creating formulaic pop-country songs, but in crafting poetic, multidimensional songs that lie closer to the Joni Mitchell school of writing than they do the June Carter. Her lyrics balance the abstract with the intimate and her touch for unpredictable phrasing sets her apart from many of her country contemporaries. Don Quixote’s; $15; 7:30pm. (CJ)

Kepi Ghoulie’s songs—both with the Groovie Ghoulies, as well as a prolific solo career—all share the distinct characteristics of being fun, simple with themes that often embody ghosts, goblins and other monsters. His artwork features—no surprise—a lot of the same characters that populate his songs: werewolves, zombies, robots, aliens and other B-movie creatures. All possess the sort of child-like, minimalistic style reminiscent of the artwork of Daniel Johnston. Now, Stardumb Records has compiled more than 500 of Ghoulie’s paintings for a new book, The Art of Kepi: The Rise of Kepiland 2000-2012. This show is a release party for the book, but he’ll also be playing music, along with Picture Atlantic and local nerd-rock gods the Huxtables. Crepe Place; $8; 9pm. (Aaron Carnes)

Allen Stone’s long blond curly hair, thickframed glasses and thrift store clothes make him look like another hippie with a guitar. But then he opens his mouth and you realize he’s something more than that. He is raw, soulful and captivating with vocals that flow through the very fibers of your being and evoke the spirits of Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye. Raised the son of a preacher, he led church worship as a teen and has always been amazed at the power music has to change the way people feel and think. He embraces that potential with the social commentary in his lyrics, whether they’re about the national economic crisis, or the effect of technology on our lives. Moe’s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

The guitar-slingin’, blues-singin’ Ruthie Foster is a staple of the star-studded Texas music scene. Blending the soulful praise of gospel, the gritty storytelling of the blues and the smooth delivery of jazz vocals into a style all her own, Foster sings from a place of authenticity and pure feel. She shuns the restrictions of the big music machine and is eight albums deep into a solid career of her own making. On her latest album, 2012’s Let It Burn, Foster sets down the guitar, and brings the focus to her smooth, expressive voice. Kuumbwa; $25 gen/$35 gold; 7:30pm. (CJ)

PEPPER Remember those kids who were in bands in high school who sang about smoking weed and having sex? Well, imagine them about twenty years later and you have Pepper. Considering the three members—Bret Bollinger, Kaleo Wassman, Yesod Williams—all met in their teens, it’s a little more understandable that they have lyrics like “let’s put our minds away and let our hormones do the rest.� After getting a local following in their small town on the Big Island of Hawaii, the boys set out to California to make their first record.

It’s hard to remember now how completely OutKast owned 2003. “Hey Ya!� was the song of the year—hell, your grandmother even liked it, everybody covered it and white people on NPR couldn’t shut up about it. That one was Andre 3000’s, but his OutKast partner Big Boi wrote “The Way You Move� on the same double album. While it didn’t have the cultural impact that “Hey Ya!� did, it was just as good and nearly as successful, bumping “Hey Ya!� off the #1 spot on the pop charts. Its Southern basspocalypse sound gave an inkling of what Big Boi would do on his acclaimed solo debut in 2010, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Lesson learned: though he’ll always be best-known for OutKast, Big Boi has carved out a space in hip-hop on his own, and everything’s going to have ridiculous titles either way.

magical worlds. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar)

Reviews 42 (PG-13) A crotchety old Harrison Ford signs Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers and changes sports history forever. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 almost-as-lifelike-as-the-toys approach. IRON MAN 3 (PG-13; 101 min.) Of all people, did anyone think Robert Downey Jr. would end up being the star of one of the biggest comic book movie franchises in history? The blue-hair-and-mascara goth get-up in Back to School certainly didn’t offer any clues. But Iron Man, one of the clunkiest and lamest super heroes ever devised (wow, you have armor on‌okay) needed somebody with flair and cool to spare to breathe some life into him. So now he’s back in this second sequel, which features him flying around again and blowing more stuff up. 41st Avenue is even doing a marathon of the other films on Thursday. May we suggest skipping the second one and just showing the first film twice? 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. MUD (PG-13; 130 min.) Ellis and Neckbone, two 14year-olds living on a river in Arkansas, go on an adventure and come across some surprises, including a very gritty Matthew McConaughey. 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? 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. 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. 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 (PG13; 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.

; /G & " !

AFTERSHOCK (R; 90 min.) Eli Roth’s horror hit Hostel was completely misunderstood, mostly by those who had no interest in seeing it. Far from straight horror, it was also part action film, part weird comedy and an all-around subversion of genre clichÊs. In another twist, Roth is now himself starring in a film that is very much like Hostel—American tourists plunged into terrifying chaos, who have to find a way to survive. In another truly original take on blending genres, this shocker from Chilean director Nicolas Lopez (also set in Chile, and based on

an event that really happened there in 2010), has Roth and his tourist friends trapped in an underground club during a huge earthquake. The tone shifts from disaster film to horror as what’s on the surface turns out to be even worse than what was below. Roth also co-wrote, and Selena Gomez (whose career is really getting trippy after her role in Spring Breakers) co-stars. (Opens Fri at the Del Mar) THE GREAT GATSBY (PG-13; 143 min.) What Baz Luhrmann did for Shakespeare, he does for F. Scott Fitzgerald, giving his adaptation of the great American novel a look and feel both modern and classic. Leonardo DiCaprio stars

Epicure

Denevan’s now-legendary culinary performance-dining series—this time held at Secret Sea Cove just north of Santa Cruz, where Severino will work with pristinely fresh seafoods provided by host fisherman Hans Haveman of H&H Fresh Fish. H&H is my very first stop every Saturday at the Westside Farmers Market, where I look for local and wild fish. And I always find it. So I’m looking forward to hearing fish whisperer Hans Haveman give his “fish talk� at the edge of the beach. I wouldn’t miss this chance to see Justin again, sample whatever he’s got in mind, and be transported by exceptional foods and wines enjoyed at a sheltered cove beach so primeval that people in Indiana can’t even imagine it. There’s still a place for you at this spectacular July 5 Outstanding in the Field dinner, priced at $240 per for the freshly prepared multicourse menu by Severino, along with H&H, wines and the magical north coast. Quick click on the website and make your reservations to join me there.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE: Route 1 Farm’s Summer Dinner

DID WE MEAT BEFORE? Justin Severino, who made his name as a charcuterist here in Santa Cruz, returns for Outstanding in the Field this summer.

Santa Cruz’s Prodigal Butcher BY CHRISTINA WATERS

C

harcuterist Justin Severino headlines the July 5 Outstanding in the Field

dinner, with white tablecloths and wine glasses along the edge of the Pacific Ocean—Secret Sea Cove—starting at 3pm on Friday, July 5, 2013. Yes, that name does sound familiar, since Severino cooked his way through some of the top kitchens in California for 10 years before heading back East. Severino left many local foodie friends heartbroken about six years ago (wow, times does fly!) when he and his resourceful spouse Hilary pulled

up stakes (steaks?) to return home to Pittsburgh, Penn. After working at Eleven Restaurant and as executive chef of Elements Cuisine, Severino opened his own place called Cure, specializing in locally sourced “urban Mediterranean� food and house-cured meats, hence the name. Severino is devoted to the seasons and local farms of Western Pennsylvania. Just as he was when he lived, and cooked, among us. Incidentally, Severino’s Cure was named one of the 50 Best New Restaurants by 0]\ /^^SbWb magazine in 2012.

At Severino’s Community Butcher here in Santa Cruz, Justin helped to put artisanal charcuterie on the local map. Working with Chris Le Vecque (now the creative butcher-in-chief of his own El Salchichero) Severino finessed exquisite chops, salume, buttery lard, pork belly and memorable sausages, all butchered by hand from ethically raised animals. He cooked in top kitchens in our region, from Walter Manzke’s Bouche, to David Kinch’s Manresa. Well, he’s going to return for a gala guest chef gig with Jim

Series gets underway on June 30th with chef Santos Majano of Soif working his usual artful sorcery upon newly harvested produce from the mighty Route One. Chef Melissa Reitz of Bantam heads for the farm for an alfresco dinner on August 11, and the September 29 dinner will feature the skills of chef Damani Thomas of Oswald. Farmer-incharge Jeff Larkey will lead diners on a tour of the farm, through orchards and ultimately to the site of the dinner. The featured winery for each dinner is Odonata Wines, showcasing the bold creations of Denis Hoey. Tickets are priced at $100 (all included) for the general public, $85 for Rt.1 CSA members. Check the website for Route One details and tickets‌Annieglass in Watsonville gets into the act with a series of local Platemaker Dinners starting May 23 with Outstanding in the Field founder chef Jim Denevan (six degrees of separation?), along with Storrs winemakers pouring their wines.

M

asood Madani named his biggest burger after himself. The rest he named after towns in the San Lorenzo Valley. His restaurant, 9 Burger, is on a windy mountain highway two miles past downtown Boulder Creek, and not far from the middle of nowhere. In addition to 9 Burger, Madani owns Masood’s Liquors in Ben Lomond. An immigrant from Iran, the businessman has been too busy here to visit for the past 35 years. A1E( EVg RWR g]c USb W\b] Pc`US`a- MASOOD MADANI: I went and

tried a couple of burgers—here, here, here and here. I didn’t like it. I had to open my own. I went to all the places: burger in Santa Cruz, Betty’s Burger. I didn’t like any of them. I said, “OK, I have a spot in Boulder Creek.â€? I had it for four years, and nobody leased it. Finally, I went and opened it up myself. Have you had the burgers up there? BVSg¸`S dS`g U]]R They’re the best. My recipe came out really good—

melted cheese. It’s just like when you watch Travel Channel—even better than those guys, I guarantee you that. EVOb¸a bVS `SQW^S- I don’t mix my meats with anything. We do just

salt and pepper. First we charbroil the burgers. Then it goes on the grill to add other stuff to it, like mushroom and everything else. We charbroil and then it goes to the grill. We don’t just grill like everyone else does. EVOb¸a bVS PSab Pc`US` PST]`S O VWYS Ob 0WU 0OaW\- It depends

what you like. We have nine different burgers. My wife likes the mushroom and Swiss [Lompico]. There’s Masood’s Burger. [It’s] close to a pound of burger—almost because we don’t measure our meat. You get onion rings and cheddar cheese and everything else on it. Felton Burger: grilled portabella with mozzarella cheese and a green onion and eggplant—that’s the vegetarian. Boulder Creek Burger: we do fried chicken. And the Ben Lomond Burger: we do pineapple, teriyaki, mozzarella and bacon. Brookdale: we do bleu cheese and a green onion.
