musical, CHICAGO, a bold choice for the time. Join the fun as they celebrate their 35th Anniversary Season, recreating the magic with an encore performance of CHICAGO, June 23 through July 10 and the tradition continues with the musical masterpiece, August 14. CHICAGO, directed and choreographed by Janie Scott, has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and one showstopping song after another. Observe as a world of greed, seductive murderesses and ‘all that jazz’ unfolds before your eyes. It’s a tale that began in the early 1920’s
when Chicago’s press and public became riveted by the subject of homicides committed by women. This musical is based on a play by reporter and playwright Maurine Dallas Watkins who was assigned by the Chicago Tribune to cover the 1924 trials of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner. The jurors at the time were all men and in Cook County there was a long string of acquittals. Thus the rumor arose that in Chicago, attractive women would not be convicted. Watkins’ sensational columns documenting the trials were so popular that she decided to write a play based on them. Decades later, Gwen Verdon, Bob Fosse and producer Richard Fryer acquired the rights to the play, and John Kander and Fred Ebb began work on the musical score,
imbuing each number with classic vaudevillian style. CHICAGO is an unforgettable journey into Chicago’s sultry storied past. Vaudeville star, Velma Kelly, and the up and coming starlet, Roxie Hart, compete for front page headlines, the spotlight and the attention of successful, dashing lawyer, Billy Flynn whose advice is to ‘Razzle Dazzle’. And Dazzle this musical does! The show opens with “All That Jazz,” a musical introduction by Velma, an infamous stage star locked up for mur-
dering her sister and her philandering husband. She becomes the belle of the the media catches wind of Roxie’s equally enticing arrest resulting from the untimely death of her lover. Enjoy the antics of corrupt prison matron, “Mama” Morton and the cheery reporter Mary Sunshine. And let’s not forget “Mr. Cellophane,” Roxie’s long“Cabrillo Stage” page 10

The Bottom Line About Camp Costs P arents know that camp is an experience that will last a lifetime. However, they may worry about the cost, especially if there is more than one camp-aged child in the house. The good news for parents is that there is a camp for just about every budget. While fees to attend camp vary, they can range from $75 to over $650 per week for American Camp Association-accredited resident and day camps. Parents may also reduce the costs by asking the right questions. When talking with the camp director, parents should ask the following: policies vary greatly from camp to camp. Some refund for illness only, some will give a total refund prior to certain date, and some don not refund at all. Most camps will ask for a small non-refundable deposit
at the time of application, which may or may not go toward the cost of tuition. It is important to know the refund policy before you send any money.

It is important to apply early. camps will typically include transportation as part of their tuition. transportation, such as a van ride from a major local train station.

Hophead Public House in Victor Square, Scotts Valley is your kind of place. Owner Jay Patel, a graduate of San Jose State University with a degree in Economics, Supply Chain and Operations Management, opened the business two years ago. Born and raised in Fremont, Jay now calls Scotts Valley his home. He learned how to cook from “grandma, mom and dad.” He is the Owner, Executive Chef and invested every dime he had, taking no loans, to open his own business. He and his friends salvaged and repurposed wine barrels into tables. They also built the high-rise chairs and many of the other décor that you see when you visit the Hophead. Conceptually, the bar is all Jay’s. He is happy to come to work and is hands on when he needs to be. He is very

proud of that fact that he uses local, organic ingredients. The bread comes from Kelly’s Bakery, produce from Watsonville Coastal Produce and the fish is fresh every day from Stagnaros. The pub serves two to three different salads, about a dozen kinds of sandwiches, 3-5 pizzettas, along with pub “bites,” that include fish and chips, stuffed mushrooms, beer batter avocados, mac attack, and a cheese board. Jay likes to rotate his menus and his beers. The kids’ menu has pepperoni/ cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, and fries. There is a small kid’s play area at the back and a shuffleboard in the front. Five television sets keep sports fans up to date. A must-have for any selfrespecting pub is a dart board. For good measure, Jay has two. Let’s talk beer. On tap are eighteen beers, almost all of them locally brewed, as well as two types of cider. “Happy

It would be great if everyone treated you with the same respect that you give others, but that might not happen as the month ends. Don’t stop being your authentic self.
Somebody’s totally into you mid-month, and they may or may not want their identity to be opportunity just because you want to be a rebel. You love tasty, but your eyes could be bigger than your stomach. End the month with some exercise to compensate!
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sep. 22)
Although you thrive on routine, you love variety to start June. Try cooking a new dish or going to a new restaurant to celebrate your newfound sense of adventure. Celebrate triumphs big and small mid-June, because you really deserve the credit for all of the hard work you’ve been putting in lately. Your usual way of doing things gets tested later in the month, and, wow, guess elation might not be life-altering, but it’s good to know you can adapt and change if you need to.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23)
You love a lot of interaction with people as June begins. The solo life isn’t for you, no sir! It’s not that continues, but that doesn’t mean you want other people to see them. Show only the parts of you that you’re comfortable with when you’re around people you don’t trust completely. You’re in your own little world mid-month, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to look out for everyone else.

There are many markdowns and discounts to be had if you know where to look for them at the end of June. Don’t be afraid to haggle.
Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 18)
little gets past you. You’d make an excellent editor, food inspector, or forensic detective on these days. Your vision of the world is unique and forward-thinking later in the month, so don’t keep your thoughts to yourself. Talking about your ideas with anyone who will listen gets your foot in the door of some pretty prestigious places.

non-gasoline vehicles – while we appreciate them – have eroded funding for transportation. Santa Cruz County has seen an approximate 20 percent cut in revenue from gas taxes over the past two years, and we expect to see another 25 percent to $5.4 million that is not available for basic pavement management work on County roadways. Counties throughout the state are working together on new transportation funding measures – as they have in previous years. Unforthat the state is ready to address the issue again this election year. I expect that, that by pushing it into a special session, the Legislature will once again delay a decision by the June 15 budget deadline. That leaves Santa Cruz County in the position of helping ourselves. A local sales tax measure proposed by the Regional Transportation Commission will be on the us a “self-help” County. The proposed Transportation Improvement Plan would be supported through a half-cent sales tax, should voters approved the ballot measure.

camp (ID#A208463) is a sweet middle-aged gentleman who seems to love everyone he meets. He likes to explore his environment, and is a great little walker, but he mostly wants to be close to people and will come and sit at your feet. According to his previous owner, Scamp (true to his name) does chase cats on occasion. Little rascal! Scamp was surrendered due to the owner’s move and had been living outdoors for the past 4 years. He is ready to be part of the family. He has reportedly lived with a toddler and done well around children, which doesn’t surprise us one bit. As evidenced by a few extra pounds, Scamp is an eager eater and a little chunk of love (who could stand to be a little less chunky). Scamp is a neutered male, tan and cream Shiba Inu and Terrier, about 8 years old. To adopt your new friend, come to Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 2200 7th Ave, Santa Cruz
