Everyday People Thank you Santa Cruz Weekly for your article about Palomar Inn in downtown Santa Cruz (“Inn Depth,� May 22). Yes, Palomar is for lower-income people, some disabled, others are everyday working people, and some seniors, as myself, on Social Security after working 40 years of my life. This place is a safe haven for a lot of people (five floors). Having said this, I also—considering the influence the editor of Good Times must have, and his personal mission to remove us from downtown Santa Cruz—have to say I consider it a miracle that we can still live in this beautiful place downtown. I have lived at Palomar Inn for 12 years. I believe buildings like the Palomar show living proof that Santa Cruz really does acknowledge the reality of the need for the lower and upper classes to exist together.

Thank you Santa Cruz Weekly for caring about the everyday people. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST Santa Cruz

Neary Future Regarding the “sarcastic� letter to the editor (“Hoping This Is Sarcasm,� Letters, May 1). Unfortunately, this attitude may be shared by Mercy Housing as well. Since Neary is no longer a co-op, they are at the “Mercy� of the for-profit company that now runs it. Although they currently have an obligation with the city to maintain some sort of lowincome housing, this would no longer be required if they were to go bankrupt. If they were to, say, spend a lot of money for a complete remodel of all the units (which they are currently doing), and had to shut down for financial reasons, then what’s to stop them from reopening under a different arm of the same company? And then charge whatever

nearby complexes are charging? Which, by the way, is exorbitant. But people pay it, and they will pay at Neary, as well; but they would be the white middle-class, unlike most of the population at Neary now: working families, the elderly and disabled. The remodel is going on, and there is talk of Neary shutting down in the next couple of years. Would they really sink a bunch of money into this place, only to close it in a couple of years, without ulterior motives? Anybody heard of gentrification? JAKE M Santa Cruz

Green Valley Re: “The Truth About Spirulina� (Wellness, May 15): I was introduced to spirulina by the late jazz pianist, Larry McDaniel, my friend and first jazz teacher back in the late 70s. I was living across the street from Forest Pool, which at that time was using the pool area for the cultivation of the green stuff. It’s been around the SLV for years. Another great article, Maria.

CORRECTION In last week’s listing of summer events, outdated information was given for the Church Street Fair. It will be held outside the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium August 3-4. Free family concert tickets are required, and available at the Civic box office. Also, in the brief “Inn Depth,� we reported that 23 of the Palomar Inn’s units are low-income Section 8 housing. While that is true, the building’s other 74 units are also (non-Section 8) low-income housing. We also reported Richard Gouker is the building’s owner. He is the facility manager. Santa Cruz Weekly regrets the errors.

RELEASE THE CRACKIN’ Chiropractor Dr. Michelle Bean goes to work.

A Spine Mess How to roll with a healthier bone structure BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

S

tanding as straight as possible in Dr. Michelle Bean’s chiropractic office at the Santa Cruz Chi Center, I’m surprised to hear the following: my right shoulder slopes lower than my left and my head and neck tilt a bit in the opposite direction. Most unnerving, my right leg is shorter, or pushed up further into my hip, than my left one. “One of the main goals of the human body is to keep the eyes horizontal,� says Dr. Bean. “When you’re holding a purse, that shoulder immediately drops and your head tilts to one side. Your entire body underneath it has to compensate to get the eyes back on a horizontal plain.� Slouched on a chair in her quiet office is the obvious and oblivious

culprit: my large, over-stuffed bag, which hangs off my right shoulder on a daily basis. In many parts of the world, humans balance their loads on top of their heads, or at opposite ends of a pole slung across their upper backs. And even while the human head is like a 10-12 pound bowling ball siting on top of a tiny four-ounce bone, says Dr. Bean, this method of carrying is actually healthier for the spine. “It’s an absolute balance,� says Dr. Bean. The human spine is an intricate structure made up of 33 vertebrae—9 of which are fused together to form the sacrum and coccyx, or tail bone—and the others separated by fleshy discs to allow us movement, and the ability to get into “Downward Dog� in yoga class. These precious bones protect the most fascinating

and enigmatic system of the body: the nervous system. Running the entire length of the inner spine, from the brain stem at the base of the neck all the way to the pelvis, is the spinal cord; a gateway of nerves that controls our entire sensory experience as humans, says Dr. Bean. Feathering out from the spinal cord are nerve endings, which enervate every single cell in the human body, and deliver sensory messages back to the brain at lightning speed. Chiropractors claim that when a vertebra is out of whack, it can affect the nervous system in numerous ways, causing everything from allergies and breathing difficulty to compromised kidney and liver function. It can also have an emotional effect, they say. “I’ve had people, where I’ve put them

on the table and I’ll adjust them and realign their bodies to center, and they have an emotional release,� says Dr. Bean. “Because, if you can release the way that the body is holding itself, you can change the way the nerves are sending experiences into the brain. So, literally, the way we are carrying ourselves affects the way we feel.� Getting out of whack is easy to do—driving all day, typing all day, or just drinking a little too much wine and falling asleep at an awkward angle will do it. What’s more, any time you sit for over 30 minutes without moving, the spine begins the process of degeneration, says Dr. Bean. “When someone’s spine is misaligned and they sit for too long, the discs will wear away unevenly, occurring at an increased rate in the area of spinal misalignment.� Those who have ever experienced slipped disks or sciatica know the sharp pain associated with bones rubbing on nerves. But dull aches and stiffness in the back, neck and shoulders are a common symptom that there’s an area of the spine that’s locked up and not moving. “A lot of people don’t know that,� says Dr. Bean. “They think they just need to rest, or need a massage.� While degeneration of the spine is a natural part of aging, shrinking discs, and the bone spurs that will eventually form in locked areas of the spine, cannot be undone—only halted or slowed. “The only method for the discs and joints of the spine to repair and regenerate from daily trauma caused by the force of gravity is by the pumping action of motion. Moving the body will eliminate waste and pump in nutrients to the joints and discs,� says Dr. Bean, who recommends getting up from your desk every half hour, even if it’s just to walk around your chair. After my first proper spinal adjustment sends a pop, pop, pop through my very-locked neck, I feel exhilarated. Later, I’m exhausted, and hopefully, a little less lopsided. 0

BEARING FRUIT Local eco-designer Andy Moskowitz would like to see Santa Cruz use grafting techniques to improve the trees in its public space.

Branching Out Grafters and other growing advocates are Eden-ing up Santa Cruz’s urban space BY GEORGIA PERRY

“

T

his tree is a complete abomination of nature,� says Andy Moskowitz, with a laugh. The local eco-designer is looking at a fruit tree that has been grafted three times to simultaneously grow plums, apricots and peaches. “I call it Frankenstein’s fruit salad,� he says. The tree, bizarre as it is, produces food, which Moskowitz believes is the most important thing a tree can do. It’s part of what he calls his “productive urban homestead� in midtown Santa Cruz, off Emeline Street—a plot about an acre big, full to bursting with thick grasses, leafy greens, dirt paths, benches made from fallen trees to sit on, a hammock, and dozens of fruit and nut trees. Grafting—the process of improving

the quality and output of a fruit tree by affixing a scion, or small cutting, of one tree to another tree with tape and sealer—is the key to the fruit he produces. “That’s how ornamental trees can be transformed into fruiting, productive trees,� he says. “A crappy apple tree with really strong roots will have a delicious apple tree grafted onto it. Most apples, plums, pears, are all grafted trees.� He wonders why the same thing isn’t being done with the trees in Santa Cruz’s public spaces, such as the cherry trees along Pacific Avenue. “Why aren’t they making cherries?� asks Moskowitz. “There’s a beautiful, healthy apple tree in front of Taco Bell on Mission. If it was making apples, I wonder if it would make someone

think twice about going in and giving themselves a heart attack and diabetes.� Ornamental trees, he says, provide us with beauty and shade—no small feat. “I think those are valuable functions for a tree, and every tree species should be preserved, loved, appreciated, spent some time with, climbed,� he explains. “That said, I think there’s no reason we couldn’t be propagating multi-functional trees everywhere. By multi-functional, I mean an apple tree is beautiful, provides great shade, and also provides a shit ton of apples.�

Guerilla Grafting In San Francisco, locals frustrated with city regulations prohibiting

fruit-bearing trees in public spaces (because city officials would have to maintain the trees and clean up the fallen fruit), have formed a group called Guerrilla Grafters. Under the cover of night they sneak around, attaching grafts of fruit-bearing trees to ornamental trees. The city’s public works director Mohammed Nuru told the San Francisco Examiner the act was considered vandalism and said, “There would be fines for damage to city property.â€? Yet the group presses on and even made The New York Times last month. Moskowitz, who is in the process of developing an advocacy organization called Food Forests for a Future, says guerrilla grafting is interesting as a concept, but ultimately more flash than substance. “There’s nothing subversive, there’s nothing treasonous about making fruit grow,â€? he says. “And really it’s the life-affirming nature of this that’s significant.â€? Because of the nature of our current agricultural system, with big farms producing most of the crops, variety is dwindling. “Four kinds of apples dominate the market,â€? insists Steve Schnaar, head of the Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project, an organization that brings people together to collect the bounties from residential fruit trees whose owners can’t eat all of the yield themselves. “Most of our events have been harvesting fruit that otherwise would go to waste. We reduce waste, promote urban agriculture, have fun and be outside,â€? he says. More grafting, and more fruit trees, might be a crucial factor in ensuring a healthy future for humankind, says Moskowitz. “Increasingly what I’m doing in my work is trying to develop strains for disaster readiness, drought tolerance, self-seeding and self-propagation,â€? he says. “There are things that we’re losing rapidly with the industrialization of food ways‌I think that’s a real loss. And I think reversing that will be necessary to creating a living future.â€? 0

Lane Split The Environmental Impact Report is years late, the price tag is huge and the Highway 1 widening project is woefully underfunded. Is this the best solution for Santa Cruz County’s traffic issues? BY JACOB PIERCE

T

his morning thousands of drivers sat between the rolling, lush Santa Cruz Mountains and the glistening Pacific Ocean, only to ignore the natural beauty around them as they idled in gridlock traffic and stared at the cars in front of them, waiting for the crawl on Highway 1 to inch along.

One of them was Annabel Ortiz. Every morning, 28year-old Ortiz drives from her home in Royal Oaks, on the outskirts of Watsonville, to her job 20 miles away on the Westside of Santa Cruz. On a good day, it takes her 45 to 50 minutes in her white 2000 Honda Accord. On a not-so-good day, it takes an hour and a half. “I used to dread when I was starting to commute, because I had been living in Santa Cruz for two years,� Ortiz says. “I would get road rage every time traffic came to standstill. But I learned to accept it when there’s a lot of traffic.� Some days, Ortiz spends two and a half hours commuting to and from North County Santa Cruz— burning not just gallons of gas, but an even more valuable resource, as well. Perhaps evangelical pastor

Rick Warren, of all people, put it best: “You can make more money, but you can’t make more time.� Sometimes Ortiz listens to National Public Radio to stay caught up on local news or pays her bills on her phone. “I try to be efficient,� she says. Ortiz doesn’t realize it, but everyone is talking about her behind her back. South County politicians say it isn’t fair for the rest of the county to sit around and watch as hard-working people from their area move at a snail’s pace to work. Something needs to be done, they say, including widening the highway. “I’m in favor of widening it. I view it as a very progressive issue,� says county supervisor Zach Friend, who serves on Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission board. “Some of the poorest people in the county live in my district in Watsonville. There aren’t very many jobs in Watsonville. A lot of people have to drive to Santa Cruz. If you’re making nine dollars an hour—right around minimum wage—and because of land-use and transportation decisions, you have to take an extra hour to get to work each day, it’s hard for me not to see that as a very progressive [issue]. These are the

poorest among us. They’re making the least amount of money, and we’re adding two hours of transportation onto their day. How do you pay for a babysitter?� Watsonville city councilmember Eduardo Montesino, another RTC commissioner, has raised the same concerns about working people who can barely afford to make the commute. So has Watsonville councilmember Daniel Dodge, an alternate for the RTC board. More than 140,000 vehicles take Highway 1 every weekday, and it has what traffic engineers call a “Level of Service� grade of an “F.�

Bigger Better? There’s no doubt that Santa Cruz County commutes are a problem. The questions are: How much difference would new lanes make, and at what cost would they come? One thing’s for sure: When it comes to transportation, nothing’s cheap. A third lane in each direction will open on Highway 1 this summer and stretch for about a mile from Morrissey Boulevard to Soquel Avenue. Different 12 from traditional “through lanes,� these are called

auxiliary lanes—cheaper (relatively speaking) alternatives that don’t increase road capacity. They stretch from one on-ramp to the next offramp and don’t allow someone to sit on cruise control. Those two miles of pavement cost $20 million—$11 million of it construction costs—the funding for which came from state and federal sources. Engineers aren’t positive how much auxiliary lanes reduce traffic, but the RTC hopes the new lane will reduce congestion of an existing lane by 50 percent. In this case, that would cut congestion a total of 25 percent. RTC engineer Kim Schultz says that will speed up southbound traffic, by allowing drivers who want to exit onto Soquel Avenue to move out of the way sooner and get in the new lane. It’s a step toward improving one of the slowest-moving stretches of highway in the state.

Perils of HOV At the same time, the RTC is doing an environmental review of plans to update the highway from Santa Cruz to San Andreas Road in Watsonville, including a plan to add long-awaited High Occupancy Vehicle lanes for buses and carpools. Those HOV lanes were once the dream of the RTC, but lately the situation doesn’t look so rosy. HOV lanes don’t come cheap. The main cost: each interchange needs to be reconfigured in order to add a new through-lane. In essence, every on-ramp and off-ramp would have to be moved to make room for a new lane. According to RTC a best-case scenario, the total cost would come to $500 million. Not exactly music to supervisor John Leopold’s ears. “It’s a half billion dollars. That should be sobering,� says Leopold, an RTC commissioner who has been vocal in his opposition to widening. “It would be the largest construction project in the history of the county.� It’s worth mentioning that the RTC’s $500 million figure is from 2006. That HOV lane price tag would be an estimated $575 million in 2013 dollars, possibly a little less because the RTC has already funded auxiliary lanes to Soquel Avenue. Still, the agency has started thinking about how it could pay for such a project. Every two years,

it gets between $7 million and $11 million from the state of California to spend on transportation, at least some of which can be spent on things besides the highway like road repair. And every year, it gets about another $2 million from federal sources. Funding a transportation project of this scale on that kind of annual allowance seems next to impossible. One solution is to increase sales tax with a new measure, conceivably a stronger one than the measure that failed in November 2006. Based on a November 2011 staff report from RTC executive director George Dondero, it would probably take a measure to increase sales tax 25 years to raise $165 million. If combined with all state and federal funds, that’s only $213 million—still far short of $500-plus million needed to pay for carpool lanes. And this is assuming that things run onschedule and on-budget from an agency that has still failed to produce an environmental impact report for the project. That document is seven years late. What about auxiliary lanes then—the ones that don’t increase road capacity? According to that same Dondero report, auxiliary lanes would cost $210 million, $240 million today—although possibly less because the first stretch has been financed. The RTC is proceeding with plans to widen the next stretch of the highway from Soquel to 41st Avenue. But tax or no tax, according to the RTC’s numbers, the final six miles of auxiliary lanes beyond that look like a tough thing to count on anytime soon.

Jam Science So how much do we know about what causes traffic congestion, and what fixes it? The theories vary. Brian D. Taylor, a professor at UCLA, says traffic is a result of economic growth, not the cause of economic decline. He argues that we don’t have it nearly as bad as we think we do. Granted, this is coming from a guy who’s probably never tried to drive from Santa Cruz to Salinas at 4:30pm on a Friday, but traffic in West Los Angeles isn’t great, either—L.A. has the worst traffic in the nation. It still could be worse, he says. The “economic and environmental tolls that congestion exacts in places like Bangkok, Jakarta and

LANE SPLIT

Caltrans Under Scrutiny Seeking refuge from the blazing sun, two activists who spent years fighting highway widening in Santa Cruz sit under a patio umbrella at a Westside restaurant. Peter and Celia Scott, who’ve been out of the limelight since losing a court case in 2011, just got back from a trip to Virginia to see Celia’s son. It’s a trip they don’t like making—despite their love for both him and the Blue Ridge Mountains—because of carbon that spews from jet engines. Through their group the Campaign for Sensible Transportation, they sued Caltrans in 2009 to prevent the auxiliary lanes. Their argument: planners shouldn’t pave the first leg until the EIR for whole project is done. They say they didn’t appeal the decision, because they didn’t have the money. But the Campaign for Sensible Transportation has other things on the horizon. Along with other organizations, it is part of a new coalition called Caltrans Watch. “I’m really glad to see this statewide network form about transportation people being fed up with Caltrans road projects,� Scott says. “They’ll have a new website coming up that’s going to be called ‘Put the Brakes on Caltrans.’� Sure enough, people all over the state are voicing frustration. State Sen.

think it was all about the highway,� Pushnik says. “Well, the highway was a big chunk of it, but there were all kinds of other projects.� Maybe so. But 63 percent of that sales tax measure was slated for the highway. The Dondero report from 2011 says in order for a sales tax measure to pass, the ideal percentage of funds going to the highway would be half that, about 30 percent. That’s part of what will make it hard to raise funds for HOV lanes, according to RTC estimates. The other 70 percent would have to go to local roads, buses, rail and bike projects. Santa Cruzans are some of the 15 percent of Californians who don’t live in “selfhelp counties� or counties with a tax for local roads. RTC engineer Schultz notes that counties often don’t pass voter-approved transportation measures on the first try, citing Los Angeles, San Bernadino and Riverside as examples. Perhaps the prospects for such a sales tax would improve as the economy does. But former RTC commissioner Mark Stone, now a state senator, said in 2011 he couldn’t picture Santa Cruz ever passing a sales tax measure for transportation. After the collapse of Measure J, county treasurer Fred Keeley facilitated a Transportation Funding Task Force from 2005 to 2006 with community members from all across the political spectrum. With Keeley leading discussions, the group tried to stitch together a ballot measure that would garner two-thirds majority support. “The biggest area of disagreement was whether or not to widen Highway 1 and if it were to be widened, what that would look like,� Keeley says. “Generally speaking, the opposition

‘Where is the compelling argument for anyone who lives north of the fishhook? Where is the incentive for anyone who lives in the San Lorenzo Valley or Scotts Valley, purely from self-interest?’ - FRED KEELEY

for the highway changes came from the Campaign for Sensible Transportation folks, and some folks in the city of Santa Cruz,� Keeley said, adding that money for highway and rail improvements benefited people up and down the coast, but that still left people out. “Where is the compelling argument for anyone who lives north of the fishhook? Where is the incentive for anyone who lives in the San Lorenzo Valley or Scotts Valley, purely from self-interest?� In 2004, Measure J came closest to passing in Watsonville with 54 percent, still well shy of two-thirds. Nowhere did the measure fare worse than in the City of Santa Cruz, where it got 35 percent.

Moving It Along Annabel Ortiz agrees with commissioner Friend that highway widening is a progressive issue, because she says it affects working people from all walks of life. Ortiz works as a programs manager for the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). She lives with her parents, because she can’t afford rent in Santa Cruz County. It would be unfair to categorize the discussion over the highway as an arm wrestle between highway lanes and bike projects. As part of the RTC’s environmental document, it is also studying a variety of options, including ramp metering—a plan to put stoplights at on-ramps to better control the flow of traffic. The issue will no doubt be divisive for years to come, but Scott of the Campaign for Sensible Transportation says there is room for dialogue, and negotiation. That may be the only way to make any real progress on Santa Cruz County’s traffic issues. “I often enjoy the opportunity to talk with people I don’t agree with,� Scott says. “Not so much if their ideology is so frozen they can’t communicate. I could never talk to Ted Cruz of Texas or Paul Ryan or Tea Party folks. But our local politicians—every person is complex. Maybe there are opportunities for commonality we can get to. It’s often interesting to see other people’s point of view, and where they’re coming from. You live in the same community with these people, you’ve got to get along with them.� 0

Lagos are undeniable,� Taylor wrote in 2002. “Mobility is far higher and congestion levels are far lower here in the U.S., even in our most crowded cities. That’s why, for now, we don’t see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago heading for cities like Alturas, California and Peoria, Illinois.� A 2009 study funded by Canada’s National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that adding lanes doesn’t reduce traffic much anyway. Gilles Duranton and Matthew A. Turner, both professors from the University of Toronto, concluded that adding lanes doesn’t provide enough economic benefit to justify building costs, in their paper “The Fundamental Law of Road Congestion: Evidence from U.S. Cities.�

Mark DeSaulnier, who represents Concord, has called for a culture change at Caltrans and suggested more oversight in light of the agency botching repairs to the Oakland Bay Bridge by installing faulty screws. And in Mendocino County, a $210 million plan to divert Highway 101 around the town of Willits and through the wilderness has angered locals, as well. Peter and Celia, a former Santa Cruz mayor, say they’d rather see the money go to alternative transportation. “You’re spending all this money on cars in the face of the threats of global warming,� Peter says. “You should be spending money on sidewalks and bikes.� Federal transportation dollars have a lot of flexibility. But when it comes to state transportation dollars, RTC spokesperson Karena Pushnik says that’s easier said than done. Pushnik says the funds, which are administered by Caltrans and the state’s Transportation Commission, have to be used on regional projects like the highway and rail line, and generally aren’t approved for other transportation projects. “The focus has been primarily on highway projects at the state level,� Pushnik says. The last time the RTC held a vote for its projects, it ended in a wreck. Their ballot item, Measure J, to increase sales tax half a cent, needed a two-thirds majority vote in 2004. It got 43 percent. Measure J was in 2004, and Pushnik notes there was no exit poll. She says voters might have voted “no� because they found the measure confusing. The RTC didn’t do any exit polls, and there were bike and pedestrian projects on the list, too. “People have selective memory and

JUST SIT STILL, I M ALMOST DONE! Jeanna Hurd-Parham is the wig designer for UCSC Opera, which performs Mozart’s ‘Cosi fan tutte’ this weekend.

Wigness Protection UCSC Opera’s wig mistress hopes you won’t see what she’s done for ‘Cosi fan tutte’ BY GEORGIA PERRY

J

eanna Hurd-Parham’s proudest moments on the job are the times when nobody has noticed her work. As the official wig designer for the UCSC Opera, as well as the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) and Opera Parallele in San Francisco, her goal is to seem invisible. “I love it when I do a show, and nobody knows that there are wigs on stage. That means I’ve done a good job,� she says. “You should never notice wigs. I got mentioned in a review once for my ‘outrageous hair and makeup.’ And I was so devastated, because I didn’t consider it outrageous. But the characters were so over the top that if their hair hadn’t have been over the top, it wouldn’t have matched what they were doing on stage.�

For UCSC’s production of Cosi fan tutte, opening this Thursday and running through Sunday, Hurd-Parham is renting the theater wigs from her private collection and providing wig styling and makeup services. While the show, which features music by Mozart, was first performed in 1790, director Brian Staufenbiel decided to set his version in 1920s France during the Tour de France. “I love bicycles. I have a crazy imagination that takes me many different places. I love France in general and it’s a really sort of a fascinating period,� Staufenbiel says. “We’re going to have period costumes and cool bikes that look like they’re from the ’20s. People are going to be riding bikes

across the stage. That is the plan.� In her studio at the ACT, HurdParham pulls out a wig of long brown hair she is planning on using in Cosi for a 1920s upper-class lady. For now, it is just in a simple braid, but she will style it “probably a low chignon with some marcel waves down the side, with some soft curls.� There are a few different options for acquiring wigs. The cheapest and most universal way is to buy a premade wig, add a piece of lace to the front of it and sew in extra hair to match the actor’s hairline. That process is called ventilating, and is done with a single needle, taking hours. There are also better quality, machine-sewn wigs out there, though they cost several hundred

dollars more. Or Hurd-Parham can create a custom wig from scratch, ventilating the entire thing herself. This process takes between 40 and 60 hours. She holds up another wig for Cosi, short and black, and explains that she prefers to work with Indian hair, rather than the standard Chinese hair, because it is a better quality. “They have to process the Chinese hair more, because the shaft is thicker. It’s actually thicker, and it’s harder to bend. To get it into a wig like this—and you can see how shiny it is—they have to really, really process it. So it tends to make the hair a little mushy, a little not-so-great-feeling. And very, very shiny. Because then they have to coat the hair. Indian quality hair is a little bit more flexible, not quite as coarse and thick.â€? During the course of a single season at ACT Hurd-Parham will typically use around 65 wigs. “You would be amazed how many people wear wigs. It’s a ton. It’s a ton,â€? she says, even in film. “Big name people too. Well, Samuel L. Jackson is known for his wigs. He’s very bald. Ted Danson has been wearing toupees and wigs since the 80s. You’ve got BeyoncĂŠ. She always wears a wig, that’s never her own hair. She has her own line of wigs. You see these close-ups, and you think that’s her own hair. It’s because they put a special type of hair into the front, so they think it’s her own hair. And then they glue it down with a specific glue. So they do tricks, so that anytime you see them you think that’s just them. No. In reality, that’s a wig.â€? Is it comfortable to wear a wig? “Some people find it itchy. I can’t stand it. I wouldn’t be able to wear one,â€? she says, looking over at a soft, wavy wig she has recently created. “Pin-curls are obnoxious.â€?

LEND A HAND The members of New Found Glory enjoy playing with their lead singer puppet.

SEA ASO ONS GUIT TAR ARTE ET QUA Created as a one-off group for a performance at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Seasons Guitar Quartet was so well-received that its members—Anthony Wilson, Julian Lage, Chico Pinheiro and Larry Koonse—kept it going. Traipsing smoothly through blues, jazz, bluegrass, samba and more, the quartet balances intricate compositions with plenty of improvisational space. Composer, arranger and bandleader Wilson has collaborated with a diverse and impressive lineup of artists including Diana Krall, Paul McCartney, Bobby Hutcherson and Willie Nelson. Kuumbwa; $22 adv/$25 door; 7pm. (Cat Johnson)

THE BOB BS The Bobs started out strictly as a novelty act—because a capella covers of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer� and Cream’s “White Room� are way more hilarious than you’d imagine. But over the years they’ve evolved into the vocals-only soulmates of They Might Be Giants (whose “Particle Man� they covered years ago). The turning point was probably Plugged, their answer to the unplugged craze which featured “Kill Your Television� (better known as “that bumper sticker song�) and “Tattoo Me Now� (the NIN-like, balls-to-the-wall live performance of that is the coolest thing I’ve seen them do). Their quirky perspective on life and art-rock continues with the very TMBG-like upcoming album Biographies, the songs on which are all bios of oddball historical figures. Don Quixote’s; 7:30pm; $15. (Steve Palopoli)

JUNIIP

WAIILIN NG SOULS S

Frontman JosĂŠ GonzĂĄlez describes Junip as being “somewhere between a German jazz band and an African pop band.â€? What this means is that the Swedish band that has been around since the late-1990s blends drum machineinduced rhythms with the rolling exuberance of West African styles Ă la Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure. Possessing a downplayed inventiveness that politely draws the listener’s attention, and fine acoustic sensibilities guided by GonzĂĄlez’s always-outstanding guitar work, Junip is breaking new ground in indie territory. Rio Theatre; $23; 8pm. (CJ)

When you’ve recorded alongside legendary musicians The Wailers and ska punkers Sublime, you’re doing something right. Wailing Souls have been performing, first rooted in Jamaica and then in the USA, since the late 1960s and are still popular performers today. They have received three Grammy nominations and were the first-ever reggae group to appear on The Tonight Show in 1992. Four of their songs are featured on the soundtrack of Disney’s Cool Runnings, a film about the first Jamaican bobsled team, and even a track in the chick flick Dear John. Their music is versatile and they enjoy covering a wide range of songs, from Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone� to The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.� Moe’s Alley; $20 adv/$25 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

LED KAAPA ANA Born on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kaapana has a fun-loving, easy-going charm that is reflected in his music style. He is a master of stringed instruments, particularly the slack key guitar, but of course the ukelele and guitar. That skill has resulted in four Grammy nominations and two wins! Don’t think too hard about how fast his fingers are picking away, you’ll just get lost and dizzy. Let’s not forget about his baritone and falsetto that can feel like a lullaby luau under palm trees. He will be joined on stage by 12-string guitarist Mike Kaawa and slack key guitarist Fran Guidry. Don Quixote’s; $17 adv/ $20 door; 7:30pm. (MW)

NEW W FOU UND GLOR RY In the late ’90s, few indie labels were hotter than Drive-Thru Records. It took post-Green Day pop-punk to the next level with mainstream listeners, thanks largely to New Found Glory. NFG were sort of like Blink 182’s evil twin, or maybe good twin, depending on your perspective. Certainly their songs were neither as stupid as “All the Small Things,� or as smart as those of, say, NOFX (who booked them as a tour opener in the early New Found Glory days). Around 2006’s Coming Home, everyone started saying they had “matured,� which is totally bizarre, since their very first single “Hit or Miss� from seven years earlier would have fit right in on that album. Face it, these guys are never growing up. Catalyst; $19/$22/9pm. (SP)

A gifted singer with a smooth and nuanced voice and a flair for rhythm, AimÊe, who was born in France to a French father and Dominican mother, incorporates live electronics into her music. She loops and layers her voice to build rich, naturallypercussive songs that showcase her multi-faceted musical abilities. Lying somewhere between scat, French cafe sounds and gypsy music, the young Aimee’s music is lively, playful and inviting. Kuumbwa; $20 adv/$23 door; 7pm. (CJ)

Their name explains a lot. This Boston-based group explains their sound as “non-traditional music in a traditional string-band setting,� which basically means a blend of jazz, pop, swing and rock that is incredibly fun to dance and hop around to. It consists of a stand-up bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo and amazing vocals from lead singer Emma Beaton. The members have won prestigious individual awards for their musicianship and when joined together are clearly masters of their craft. This blend of performers has developed an acoustic rhythm to which the words perfectly chime in. Their lyrics touch on the ups and downs of contemporary life and love with humor, intelligence and wit. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (MW)

New AFTER EARTH (PG-13; 100 min.) After Hollywood figured out that no one wants to watch M. Night Shyamalan movies anymore, they had to find something to do with him. So they put him in the director’s chair for a Will Smith sci-fi movie, didn’t let him write the script and agreed that no one would talk about the fact that he was involved. Smart move. Smith, who once again stars with his own kid in this story about a father-son outing to an abandoned and treacherous Earth, doesn’t need the M. Night albatross around his neck in selling this summer blockbuster. (Opens Thu at Santa Cruz 9) NOW YOU SEE ME (PG-

13; 116 min.) Magicians pulling heists? How come no one ever thought of that before? Not to mention that this movie re-teams Zombieland’s Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, who co-star with Morgan Freeman and Mark Ruffalo. (Opens Thu at Santa Cruz 9 and Scots Valley) RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) Everybody thinks it’s such a big deal that J.J. Abrams is now running two of the biggest movie franchises on the planet, with both Star Trek and Star Wars. Pfft, George Lucas was doing that three decades ago, when he jumped from his Star Wars saga to producing this Steven Spielberg flick, which would kick off the most popular action series of the decade, if not all time. Funny enough,

S H O W T IM E S

the original idea was simply to recapture a little of the magic that the adventure serials of the 1930s and 40s evoked in their childhood imaginations. But in putting together this first Indiana Jones adventure, Spielberg and Lucas ended up far exceeding the thrills of the movies they’d set out to imitate. Whoops! Lucky for the rest of us, since Raiders is arguably the best actionadventure flick ever. The pair were never quite able to scale those heights again through three sequels, as the most recent installment painfully illustrates. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) GONE WITH THE WIND - (1939) (Thu, Scotts Valley) ZOOLANDER - (2001) (Thu, Santa Cruz 9)

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

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. 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. EPIC (PG; 102 min.) Somewhere between Brave

and Arthur and the Invisibles is this computer animated story of a girl who finds a culture of tiny people in the forest, shrinks down to their size and joins them in a battle of good against evil. Amanda Seyfried and Clint Ferrell headline the voice cast. ERASED (R; 100 min.) Cross-eyed Aaron Eckhart plays an ex-CIA agent who will not stand for anyone who crosses him, except his own eyes! Can he see straight through the Company’s plot to erase any trace of his existence, as part of an international conspiracy? Not likely! FAST AND FURIOUS 6 (PG-13; 130 min) Fasterer! Furiouserer! And Michelle Rodriguez is back from the dead! That’s pretty much the extent of the plot in this fifth franchise sequel. How did they fit it all into 130 minutes? 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 as Gatsby, with Tobey Maguire as Nick and Carey Mulligan as Daisy. THE HANGOVER PART III (R; 100 min.) Finale of the Hangover comedy trilogy starts with the basic premise that there are still people interested after the abysmal rehash of Hangover Part II. Director Todd Phillips returns, along with stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. The plot, while at least not involving another goddamn bachelor party, unsurprisingly centers around yet another Wolfpack adventure with Ken Jeong. At least the tagline promises “The End.â€? 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 bluehair-and-mascara goth get-up in Back to School certainly didn’t offer any clues. But Iron Man, one of the clunkiest and lamest superheroes 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? KON-TIKI (PG-13; 118 min.) Finally, the Norwegians take back Thor. Okay, not that

Thor, but Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian researcher and adventurer who sailed the famous Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947. Nominated for an Oscar and all kinds of other awards, this film dramatizes his attempt to prove a theory about preColumbian explorers by building and then attempting to sail what is basically a wood raft 4,300 miles across the Pacific. It’s not as easy as it sounds‌ oh wait, it sounds absolutely impossible. 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. 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 RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST (R; 130 min.) Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair changes things up with a thriller about a young Pakistani immigrant on Wall Street who gets caught up in a hostage crisis. Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson and Liev Schreiber star. SIMON KILLER (NR; 109 min.) Sundance cult favorite from last year is a spooky erotic thriller about a college grad who attempts to escape heartbreak in Paris, only to get tangled up in a relationship with a prostitute. From there, things get‌dark. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (PG-13; 132 min.) Considering that J.J. Abrams is now in charge of both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises, nerds of both tribes can finally come together in the hope that this movie will kick ass. And hey, he didn’t do such a bad job on the first Star Trek reboot, did he? Certainly he got bonus points for using Trek-type reasoning to explain why we suddenly had Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Simon Pegg as the original Enterprise crew, in a different origin story. Pine as Kirk did a fantastic job of holding off on any kind of a Shatner impression until the end of the first movie after he had something to be so cocky about.

GET DOWN ON THE FARM:

SAVED BY THE BELL Burrell School Vineyard is one of more than 50 Santa Cruz Mountains wineries participating in the Vintners’ Festival.

Rocking Roots at Vintners’ Fest BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

ime to sharpen your winetasting instincts and prepare for some vintage fun, at this year’s Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association (whew!) 24th annual Vintners’ Festival. This year’s bigger-than-ever shindig is nicknamed “Roots that Rock� in honor of our region’s long heritage as a winegrowing region. The event’s title also honors the rockin’ live music that will add to the ambience of the Festival’s final day—a brand new event—the Vintners’ Festival Street Faire. The latter event happens on

You’ve heard about it, you’ve enjoyed its harvests, now why not actually get down on the farm for yourself? The UCSC Farm is offering guided public tours, from 2- 3:30pm on first Sundays June 2. You’ll be able to see how all of this state-of-the-art organic growing is done, check out the laboratories and greenhouse research facilities of this agroecology site, see the hand-worked garden beds and orchards, and (best of all) enjoy a splendid view of the Monterey Bay from these 30 gorgeous acres. If you’ve never toured the Farm, you owe yourself a chance to see how vibrant and fertile this place is. Tours meet at the Gatehouse, about 1/4 mile up the gravel road next to the Blacksmith Shop. For details call (831) 459-3240, or check the UCSC Farm website. ALMOND CAKES OF THE GODS:

Sunday June 9, from 11am until

3pm, and offers plenty of tasting from top area wineries, plus live entertainment, art opportunities and summertime artisan foods from purveyors such as Mission Hill Creamery, Buttercup Cupcakes (sign me up!), Center Street Grill, Pacific Thai, Chocolate and tons more. The great thing about this final day Downtown Faire is that it will offer a vibrant combo of outdoor festival action, plus a onestop shopping taste of Santa Cruz Mountains wines. But, of course, for many veteran

Vintners’ Festival-goers, the heart of the two-weekend action is the chance to tour the vineyards and winemaking facilities of favorite wineries. This year’s Vintners’ tour will feature more than 50 Santa Cruz Mountain wineries that dot our coastline, hillsides and redwood forests. Here’s how it works. You go to the website and purchase your $40 ticket—this gives you access to four days of tasting, 10 tasting tickets and wine glass, plus the big downtown Street Faire on June 9. Or, you can purchase your ticket for

Well, at least that’s what they taste like. These lovely, utterly tender and blissfully satisfying little freshbaked almond cakes will cost you a mere $1.50, and you’ll go around all morning with a grin on your face. Get them at either of the two downtown Santa Cruz Lulu’s coffeehouses —I lean toward the historic Octagon myself. I strongly suggest adding a double macchiato and then enjoying the intertwining sensations of earthy caffeine and toothsome almond cake. There are even gluten-free versions of these locally-made gourmet goodies, but they pop up when they want to, so stop by often. 0

$50 at any of the wineries. On the weekend of June 1-2 wineries on the east side of the mountains will be pouring at their tasting rooms and/ or winery. On the second weekend of the event, June 8-9, wineries on the west side of the mountains will be open and pouring. Noon to 5pm each day. And that festive downtown Faire finale happens from 11am-3pm Sunday, June 9 on Pacific Avenue, between Locust and Walnut. The street fest is open to the public. Wine tasting requires purchase of $8 glass and tasting tickets (additional tasting tickets are $1 each.) If you’re confused by all of this, relax. It’s Santa Cruz. Just visit the website and then head for a winery. Nature will do the rest.

Owner, The Greek

O

ver a cup of coffee and his morning cigarette, Vasili Karagiannopoulos talked to us about his life of food as he prepared to open his restaurant “The Greekâ€? for the day. While working on a cruise ship in Greece, Karagiannopoulos met the woman who would become his wife, Kathia, and moved to the United States. He opened Vasili’s on Bay and Mission in 1991, and sold it in 2003. He opened the Greek in 2008. A1E( EVOb O`S ^]^cZO` 5`SSY a^WQSa- VASILIS KARAGIANNOPOULOS: The most popular is the Greek oregano. It is second to none on the planet. The climate and the ground there is different. EVOb R] g]c bVW\Y eVS\ g]c U] ^Oab DOaWZW¸a- It’s like a dream. You

have a nice dream after all those years. EVOb RWR g]c R] OTbS` g]c a]ZR Wb- I moved to Vacaville, and I opened

another restaurant. And then for five years, I was always coming to the Greek Festival. EVOb VO^^S\SR b] bVS DOQOdWZZS ^ZOQS- I sold that one. They made

me an offer I couldn’t refuse. EVOb¸a g]c` TOd]`WbS RWaV- I like lamb shanks. I like everything. If I

Every three days we rotate. I make fresh stuff. I don’t make nothing to last more than three days. EVS`S R] g]c USb g]c` `SQW^Sa- Most of my recipes come from my mom.
