OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE Last weekend, I guest-hosted KPIG’s live music show “Please Stand By,” and one of the guests was Ian Harris, the Santa Cruz native who’s taping a comedy special Sunday at the Rio as part of the Santa Cruz Comedy Festival (my story on the SCCF is on page 22). Harris is known for a defiant brand of comedy that takes a skeptical perspective on anything that could be remotely considered pseudoscience. In the course of conversation, it came up that Harris’ mom has been helping to promote his show, putting up fliers and even telling KPIG’s Mark Moody not to forget to mention the show on the air. “Oh yeah, my mom’s great,” said Harris. And what does she do, you might ask? “She’s a psychic,” said Harris. I love that Santa Cruz has room for both a mom who’s a psychic (technically she calls herself an “intuitive,” Harris says) and her

NOT IN BERNIE’S NAME
4
A small group of activists have claimed the name “Santa Cruz for Bernie” and are using the local Bernie email list. This does not equate with an endorsement by Bernie or by the thousands of local Bernie supporters. This group’s “platform” does not represent the views of most of us who supported Bernie, as we were not even included in their process. So, when you see Bernie’s name on the campaign literature for “the brand new city council,” remember it’s just smoke and mirrors. They represent a small group. Many local Bernie supporters are actively working for candidates who truly embrace his integrity and vision and who don’t resort to deceptive strategies to obtain votes. The use of Bernie’s name by a small group to advance their agenda is unethical and disrespectful to Sen. Sanders. LINDA PROCTOR, RN, CNM (RETIRED) | SANTA CRUZ
son, whose comedy is devoted to debunking things like psychic powers. And I love even more that his mom is out there supporting his career. It reminds me of how diverse, deep and sometimes downright strange the Santa Cruz experience can be. I think that’s also reflected in Santa Cruz Restaurant Week, about which you can find out everything you need to know in this week’s issue. One thing I most enjoy hearing about Restaurant Week is how local restaurateurs feel that it brings in diners who’ve never sat down at their table before—and who may even become regulars—and many owners and chefs testified to that while we were putting together this issue. I particularly loved the story about the group whose goal is to get to every restaurant in SCRW over the course of the week. They didn’t quite get them all in last year, but they’re back this year to try again. Hope you will be, too! We’re also doing a special photo contest for this week: take a pic while you’re out at SCRW and send us the result by next Monday. We’ll run the best one on the letters page next week. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
NO ON RETRO Your [Local Talk] question of 8/24—how to make Santa Cruz great again—deserved more than a one-line answer. All of them were wrong. I’ve lived in two Santa Cruzes—the ’60s, and now the Teenies. In the older Santa Cruz, the motto and mood seemed to echo a ubiquitous guru poster: “Be Here Now.” And by and large, people were. Now, people are wanting to be “there then”; to recreate it, with a little Silicon Valley thrown in. People walk the streets with gadgets, walk out of school talking on iPhones rather than face-toface with each other, longing for a recreation of the good old days of groovy Santa Cruz, trying to “be there then.” It won't work. Santa Cruz was great because it did not try to be. People were just “here.” The old slogan still works: “be here now.” The “being” and the “here” are what are important. And the “now” will tell you what to be.

EASTERN INFLUENCE
RALLY FOR REFORM
For years, much of the influence in Santa Cruz has been focused on the Westside—at least on the City Council, with so many of its members living there. So, in an effort to have politicians speak to their needs, Eastsiders have now organized the first-ever East of the River City Council Candidate Forum. It will be from 5 to 7 p.m on Friday, Oct. 14. at Santa Cruz Community Church on Roxas Street.
Local supporters of reforming the state’s corrections department have planned a rally and press conference at Santa Cruz’s town clock downtown. The event for Prop. 57, at noon on Saturday, Oct. 15, will bring in speakers like Assemblymember Mark Stone, County Supervisor John Leopold, Chief Probation Officer Fernando Giraldo and Santa Cruz Public Defender Heather Rogers. The statewide measure would reward inmates who take advantage of special programs and rehab classes behind bars.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 12 ARIES March 21-April 19 A study published in the peer-reviewed Communications Research suggests that only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that figure won’t apply to you Aries in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you will be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries, and allurements than usual. The percentage of these that might be worth responding to will also be higher than normal. Not all of them will be obvious, however. So be extra vigilant.
TAURUS April 20-May 20 The ancient Greek sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking. And yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. I propose that we make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks. Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make a playful effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. (P.S.: Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes. Please consider that outlandish possibility yourself. Be alert, too, for the secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles, and yawns.)
GEMINI May 21-June 20 The Helper Experiment, Part One: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the company of a kind, attentive helper -- a person, animal, ancestral spirit, or angel that you either know well or haven't met yet. Spend at least five minutes visualizing a scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exercise every day for the next seven days. Each time, visualize your helper making your life better in some specific way. Now here's my prediction: Carrying out The Helper Experiment will attract actual support into your real life.
CANCER June 21-July 22 New rules: 1. It's unimaginable and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything or anyone that's no good for you. 2. It's unimaginable and impossible for you to sabotage your stability by indulging in unwarranted fear. 3. It's imaginable and possible for you to remember the most crucial thing you have forgotten. 4. It's imaginable and possible for you to replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy self-care. 5. It's imaginable and possible for you to discover a new mother lode of emotional strength.

It's swing-swirl-spiral time, Leo. It's ripple-sway-flutter time and flow-gush-gyrate time and jive-jiggle-juggle time. So I trust you will not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rock-solid evidence. If your path is not twisty and tricky, it's probably the wrong path. If your heart isn't teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosity-seeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games.
VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Some English-speaking astronomers use the humorous slang term "meteor-wrong." It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite ("meteor-right"), but that is ultimately proved to be of terrestrial origin. I suspect there may currently be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of some new arrival or fresh influence is not what it had initially seemed. But that doesn't have to be a problem. On the contrary. Once you have identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it's likely to be useful and interesting.
LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Most of us can't tickle ourselves. Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time. Without the element of uncertainty, our squirm
reflex doesn't kick in. But I'm wondering if you might get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. I say this because the astrological omens suggest you will have an extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses will be rising up in you on a regular basis. Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties. Have fun doing what you don't usually do!
SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 During the final ten weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health will flourish in direct proportion to how much outworn and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life between now and October 25. Here are some suggested tasks: 1. Perform a homemade ritual that will enable you to magically shed at least half of your guilt, remorse, and regret. 2. Put on a festive party hat, gather up all the clutter and junk from your home, and drop it off at a thrift store or the dump. 3. Take a vow that you will do everything in your power to kick your attachment to an influence that's no damn good for you. 4. Scream nonsense curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to purge your sadness and anger about pain that no longer matters.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 A Buddhist monk named Matthieu Ricard had his brain scanned while he meditated. The experiment revealed that the positive emotions whirling around in his gray matter were super-abundant. Various publications thereafter dubbed him "the happiest person in the world." Since he's neither egotistical nor fond of the media's simplistic sound bites, he's not happy about that title. I hope you won't have a similar reaction when I predict that you Sagittarians will be the happiest tribe of the zodiac during the next two weeks. For best results, I suggest you cultivate Ricard's definitions of happiness: "altruism and compassion, inner freedom (so that you are not the slave of your own thoughts), senses of serenity and fulfillment, resilience, as well as a clear and stable mind that does not distort reality too much."
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Now is a perfect moment to launch or refine a project that will generate truth, beauty, and justice. Amazingly enough, now is also an excellent time to lunch or refine a long-term master plan that will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Is this a coincidence? Not at all. The astrological omens suggest that your drive to be of noble service dovetails well with your drive for personal success. For the foreseeable future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with selfish goals.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Has your world become at least 20 percent larger since September 1? Has your generosity grown to near-heroic proportions? Have your eyes beheld healing sights that were previously invisible to you? Have you lost at least two of your excuses for tolerating scrawny expectations? Are you awash in the desire to grant forgiveness and amnesty? If you can't answer yes to at least two of those questions, Aquarius, it means you're not fully in harmony with your best possible destiny. So get to work! Attune yourself to the cosmic tendencies! And if you are indeed reaping the benefits I mentioned, congratulations—and prepare for even further expansions and liberations.
PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Some astrologers dwell on your tribe's phobias. They assume that you Pisceans are perversely drawn to fear; that you are addicted to the strong feelings it generates. In an effort to correct this distorted view, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I hereby declare the coming weeks to be a Golden Age for Your Trust in Life. It will be prime time to exult in everything that evokes your joy and excitement. I suggest you make a list of these glories, and keep adding new items to the list every day. Here's another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover and explore previously unknown sources of joy and excitement.

Aptos. Every day, the students walk to Cabrillo College to attend their classes. Lately, I have been appalled by the drivers who speed down Soquel as if they are rushing to put out a fire. Just in case the community has forgotten that schools are back in session, I would like to remind and implore everyone to drive as if your child was attending school there. I would also like to suggest that Santa Cruz County install more radar speed detectors along Soquel. The speeding cars with these newly arrived students is a disaster waiting to happen.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: SANTA CRUZ’S 150TH Really enjoyed your article on Santa Cruz history. I belong to the Santa Cruz Parlor No. 26, Native Daughter of the West. Our Parlor was established March 17, 1888 and we are still a very active group. Our seal was created by Charles M. Madeira, an artist “who tried to depict the great beauty … of California.” This was probably done in late 1888, and I have tried to find out information on this artist. Do you know anything about him, or where I could get information? I am the quasi-historian of our Parlor. — JEANNE THOMPSON

BEAT HAPPENING Apps created to teach music may help more adults break into music, something
traditionally designated to childhood and teen years.
Coda Coding
Music-learning apps create midlife musicians BY DANIEL TALAMANTES I get around to even thinking about picking up an instrument, I have a hundred other tasks and chores that take precedence. And sometimes, after a long day of work, I just want to relax. And learning an instrument on my own, or going to a music teacher, just doesn’t appeal to me,” says Jarred Stern, a local 46-year-old accountant and father of two. But technology could provide a solution for more and more timestrapped adults looking to learn how to play an instrument. In other words, there’s an app for that. “A few months ago, a friend showed me an app called Music Wormhole,” says Stern. “The app was free, so I decided to download the guitar version and started learning rather quickly. It was like the music books
I had, but it played the chords with me. Even when I wasn’t around a guitar, I could open it up and record a song with a chord progression. I was learning pretty quickly then.” Stern is just one example of people learning instruments later on in life because of apps. These new musicians are finding that the activity of music brings them both reward and relief from a stressful day’s work. The ability to be creative and work at a challenge, yet still find pleasure and comfort in that recreation provides them with an inner joy that they haven’t felt in years. “Having a way to properly express myself, in ways I have never been able to before, has dramatically increased the quality of my life,” says Stern. “It was remarkably easy. To be honest, I

n 2009, a phone survey of 1,000 people, ages 12 and up, made some interesting findings about our relationship with music. Eighty percent of respondents believed that music was an important part of their lives. Commissioned by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), the survey also found that 69 percent would like to learn music, while 20 percent believed they were too old to learn music. It also found that only 5 percent of music learners started learning their instruments after the age of 19. There are many reasons it may be difficult to take up an instrument later in life. But for many, it simply comes down to time. “Like many things I want to learn— language for an example—by the time
never thought I would learn music. I was even embarrassed talking about this pipe-dream to my wife.” MusicWormhole CEO Paul Noddings, a Santa Cruz local who launched his app about three years ago, says that electronic apps take away the idea that learning to play an instrument is for children. “I think it is important and possible for adults to learn,” he says. Playing music is not an easy feat. It requires many different muscles, nearly all of the senses, and several regions of the brain. Unlike children, who are growing new brain cells all of the time that can then be designated to their instrument, adults have to train and make new connections with the brain cells they already have. That said, adults could have a different advantage in learning music. Dr. Jessica Grahn—a cognitive neuroscientist and professor at the Brain and Mind Institute and Psychology Department at Western University in Canada, and James Lenger—a music instructor for more than 21 years for both children and adults, and the founder and president of Guitar Cities, a company that provides online and in-person lessons across the U.S., suggest that adults have a greater understanding of music after a lifetime of listening to it. This is one advantage that adults have, in addition to motivation and concentration. “Music is a ubiquitous companion to people’s everyday lives,” write the Swiss and Ohio State University authors in a 2013 study called The Psychological Functions of Music Listening. “People listen to music to achieve self-awareness, social relatedness, and arousal and mood regulation.” Apps have allowed adults who want to learn music to study on their own time. Away from the pressures and guidance of a music teacher, adults can learn with interactive, easy-touse Apps that provide a dynamic, comfortable learning environment. Noddings explains, “With these music apps, adults can learn privately and decide if learning music is something they’d like to pursue. Once they realize their interest, then they can spend time learning with a teacher if they want.”

NEWS DIALED IN Free Radio Santa Cruz celebrates 21st birthday with Coffee Zombie Collective
OCTOBER 12-18, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY JOHN MALKIN
12
After each work week draws to a close, sounds from around the globe play on the airwaves across Santa Cruz County. Singer-guitarist and DJ Kipli hosts “Music in the Mail” on Free Radio Santa Cruz (101.3 FM), the pirate station now celebrating 21 years on the air. “I present music you won’t hear on mainstream radio—the most unpredictable and amazing music from all over the world— with mini-documentary interviews,” says Kipli, who gets much of her show material from what listeners mail in to her. Free Radio Santa Cruz (FRSC), which can also be heard on freakradio.org, has broadcast in defiance of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations since the spring of 1995. “FRSC represents the ideal of ‘living together as a community’ where each of us contributes by offering information, resources and dialogue,” says Kipli. The commercial-free “pirate” station has given a voice to independent local and international news and views, and was the first station in the Santa Cruz area to offer “Democracy Now,” which currently airs at 8 a.m. and again at noon every weekday. Free Radio also airs programs like “World Socialist News,” “EcoNews,” and “Resistance Radio,” in addition to plenty of music. “We do not need more ‘professionals’ who broadcast the same kind of programs in the same kind of format,” Kipli says of FRSC’s approach. “We need the tales and views of the neighbor, the farmer, the homeless, the student about how local politics are affecting us. We need the avant-garde artist who exposes us to the experience of improvised electronic music. We need the interviews of our underground heroes.” FRSC will celebrate its anniversary with a party and benefit concert at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Crepe Place. Coffee Zombie Collective will headline the event with opening music from local band Disiac and also DJ Kipli. (Full disclosure: I also host a weekly show on FRSC, discussing politics and spirituality every Wednesday night.) In its two-plus decades, FRSC has broadcast without an FCC license from a variety of Santa >16 Cruz locations, changing its secret

illing garbage bags with trash, volunteers hover over the sand with extendable grabbers and scrub graffiti off of the sandstone cliffs at Panther Beach. Joined by two state parks employees, they amass piles of leftover garbage—glass bottles, plastic food wrappers, styrofoam
cups, and cigarette butts. The rising tide rolls in slowly, an ominous reminder that trash left behind on the beach gets washed out to sea. The volunteer cleanup on Oct. 1, California State Parks’ first at that spot, was the department’s latest effort to increase stewardship of Panther Beach, originally part of
the historic Coast Dairies property. The 7,000 acres of stunning, once privately owned coastal land surrounded the town of Davenport. The Institute for Public Trust, which bought the property in 1998, donated most of the large inland portion of Coast Dairies land to the Bureau of Land >14

Divided Fed Sets Date To Raise In December Low Rates Still Available Q: After all of the hubbub about interest rates going up, it seems that the Fed is obviously controlled by Obama and he wants rates low until after the election. Talk about a rigged system! How can they ignore the country like that? What will this do to mortgage rates?
OCTOBER 12-18, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
A: The fact that the Fed is divided on policy shows that the system is totally NOT rigged! The Fed governors who are charged with the task of setting interest rate policy obviously take their jobs seriously and realize how important each such decision is to the U.S. and the world economy. They are concerned about weakness in Europe due to the Brexit, the refugee crisis in Europe and other looming problems. They do not want to make a move that stops the slow growing economic growth we have achieved after moving out of the Great Recession. The opportunities to GET A LOWER RATE may soon disappear, but the LINGERING GOOD NEWS for consumers is that mortgage rates and the rates on many consumer loans will stay low until the Fed actually moves. That means that NOW MAY BE THE LAST TIME TO REFINANCE AT HISTORICALLY LOW RATES BEFORE THE FED PUSHES THESE RATES UP. This makes it time for many to take a look at money saving opportunities.
14
With the clock obviously ticking on a rate hike, consumers are advised to take advantage of the current opportunity to buy or refinance homes and cars before they actually do move. Today we STILL HAVE MORTGAGE RATES ON 30 YEAR FIXED LOANS WELL UNDER 4% AND 15 YEAR LOANS UNDER 3% FOR MANY BORROWERS. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have “reformed” mortgage pricing such that individual statistics like credit scores, loan to value and loan amounts all play a part in setting rates and pricing for individual mortgage requests. To say the least, one size does not fit all; applicants and borrowers are advised to get expert advice from a source that offers ALL OF THE LOAN OPTIONS AND PRODUCTS AVAILABLE rather than settling for the slim menu provided by most banks and credit unions. Call me 831-475-2600 in Santa Cruz to get individual guidance and real time pricing on what may be the LAST OF THE LOWEST MORTGAGE OPTIONS IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. –– Jim Chubb

NEWS COASTAL SERVICE <12 Management in 2014, and some government officials from Santa Cruz County all the way up to the Obama administration have been working on a possible plan to make the land a national monument—a move that concerns many neighbors. The institute donated the beaches to the California State Parks in 2006. Even though parks maintenance crews clean Panther Beach along with other state-owned beaches in North County on a regular basis, the trash keeps piling up. Parks employees recently installed six trash cans at Panther Beach to hopefully help beachgoers to properly dispose of their garbage, but the beach needs a large-scale regular cleanup badly, says Jeremy Lin, program coordinator at Rancho Del Oso-Big Basin Redwoods State Park, who helped organize the Oct. 1 cleanup at Panther Beach and has scheduled another for January. “Though we do have law enforcement regularly patrolling Panther Beach now, it’s still totally trashed,” says Lin. “The steep topography of it discourages some people from hauling their trash out,
because it’s a heavy slope, and the seclusion provided by the cliffs gives people the idea that they’re in a private spot, and so they don’t make the kinds of decisions they might make if they were more exposed.” Save Our Shores, a nonprofit that has worked to preserve the marine environment in Santa Cruz for more than 30 years, runs frequent beach cleanups throughout the county. According to Ryan Kallabis, spokesperson for Save Our Shores, volunteers and team members have picked up 7,072 pounds of trash this year alone at North County beaches, mostly near Davenport Beach, preventing all that litter from entering the ocean. The parks department is helping to ramp up the fight to keep Panther Beach and other North County beaches clean and safe by inviting volunteers to its ongoing cleanups.
COASTAL RETREAT As some politicians and outdoor enthusiasts push to have the remaining Coast Dairies property converted to a national monument, many Davenport residents worry that any increase in traffic to these sensitive habitats could pose a hazard
to small ecosystems. The state has a far-reaching California Coastal National Monument along its beaches. But Noel Bock, leader of the Davenport/ North Coast Association, says it’s important to note that the Coast Dairies beaches would not be included in that national monument or the local one, because they are already owned by the state parks department. That means, she fears, that the droves of people who might come to visit the proposed Coast Dairies National Monument will spill over onto beaches, which won’t receive an increase in funding or protection. “People are going to assume that the beaches are part of this national monument,” says Bock. “They’re going to assume that there will be increases in things like patrols, trash cleanups, safe access, and even toilets at these beaches. That’s not the case.” Chris Spohrer, acting superintendent of the Santa Cruz District of California State Parks, says the trash is already a problem because the North Coast beaches get so many visitors. But Spohrer, who is spearheading an effort to >20
NEWS BRIEFS BORDER CROSSING In front of a crowd of 150 people at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History on Thursday, University of Oxford professor Bridget Anderson recalled an encounter she had with an U.S. immigration officer just a few days earlier. In the customs line en route to Santa Cruz, the officer, a Latino man, asked her why she was visiting the U.S. She told the man about her Santa Cruz talk on citizenship, and the ideas she would present: that citizenship creates a divisive “us and them” mentality, in which even people with legal status can be marginalized. “And he was like, ‘You’re
so right.’ He said, ‘I was born here. I’ve lived here all my life, and there are people now who, even though I’m legally a citizen, they don’t consider me a citizen. Because when push comes to shove, it’s your name and the color of your skin,’” Anderson said. “And I was like, wow. this is an immigration officer saying this? That’s really something.” Anderson’s talk, titled “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion,” was the first in a year-long speaker series on noncitizenship hosted by UCSC’s Chicano Latino Research Center and the Institute for Humanities Research. The series, which is free to the public, includes a
documentary screening on the legacy of the slave trade in Sierra Leone, and a Q&A with the film’s producers at Del Mar Theatre at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27. Between 2003 and 2010, Anderson said, an estimated 20,000 U.S. citizens were illegally detained or deported. Many of them were black, illiterate and mentally ill—and likely to sign a false confession, she says. Communities are interdependent and everyone has contributions to make, she said—which may not necessarily mean working a 9-to-5 job and paying taxes. She hopes people can start thinking beyond national borders. “Let’s think about Niger.
Niger [is] the poorest country in the world, but Niger has plenty of resources. It’s Niger’s uranium that keeps the lights on in France,” she said. “The Niger people are not lazy people. Why are they so poor? They’re poor because of a history of colonialism and because of unjust international trade arrangements. That’s why they’re poor. Effectively, to put it at its most crude, their poverty and our wealth are intimately interrelated, and I think we have to keep that at the front of our minds when we’re thinking about migration. This is not simply about foreign policy. It’s also about economic policy.” For more information on the series, visit clrc.ucsc.edu. KARA GUZMAN

RIFLING THROUGH Federal marshals and the FCC raided Free Radio Santa Cruz in 2004. PHOTO: JOHN MALKIN
16
DIALED IN <12 headquarters every so often. In 2004, six FCC agents and a dozen federal marshals with semi-automatic weapons raided the station’s downtown studio, confiscating the antennae, transmitter and other equipment. GT reported at the time that the station was on air broadcasting an interview with historian Howard Zinn when the morning raid happened, and that activists taunted the agents as they walked out with nearly $5,000 worth of equipment. Before the agents left, someone slashed the agents’ tires, and their vehicles had to be towed away. Many politicians, including Congressman Sam Farr, either questioned or condemned the raid, and the station quickly went back on the air. Over the years, the Santa Cruz City Council has repeatedly supported the underground
station, including in 2010, when then-mayor Mike Rotkin declared, “Free Radio Santa Cruz offers alternatives to corporate-controlled media, encourages critical thinking and is dedicated to nonviolence, ending oppression and expanding respect through open speech media.” FRSC team member Merlin began hosting the “Idle Hands” rock ’n’ roll radio show in the ’90s, and later hosted the same program on Community TV for 16 years before recently returning to the pirate radio airwaves. He calls Free Radio “one of the things that make this place special.” “Free Radio is a political tool where your voice matters,” says Merlin in his distinct deep, raspy tone that sounds made for radio. “You don’t have to be a rich person to be a DJ. Your voice is so much louder.” Free Radio Santa Cruz, which used to
be at 101.1 FM, is currently seeking a small, permanent broadcasting studio, as well as a site for the transmitter and antennae. The station is also looking for new DJs to join the collective of about 20 dedicated programmers. The station has been located in about half a dozen studios over the past 21 years. “No one ever got arrested for hosting the transmitter,” says Merlin. “It’s civil disobedience and it’s not hurting anyone.” Funding for rent and broadcasting equipment come from DJ dues, listener donations and benefit events which have included concerts over the last two decades by the likes of Sin in Space, Utah Phillips, Henry Kaiser, Devil Makes Three, and, as of next week, Coffee Zombie Collective. “Free Radio Santa Cruz is special because it’s a labor of love for everyone that’s doing it,” says Nate Lieby, who plays ukulele and
drums in the vivacious cover band. “It’s got that real DIY nature and a cool, underground, homespun vibe.” FRSC, Kipli says, aims to expand people’s horizons. “We need quality news and alternative programming for our Latino brothers and sisters,” Kipli muses. “We need media sources that enrich our minds, not flatten our brain waves.” John Malkin has hosted “The Great Leap Forward” (Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m.) on FRSC since 1997. Listen from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesdays. CDs of new original music can be mailed to FRSC P.O. Box 7811, Santa Cruz, CA, 95061. The Free Radio Santa Cruz Benefit Show will be at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Crepe Place. Tickets are $10 with larger donations also accepted.

introduce more cleanups to Panther Beach, doesn’t believe the proposed National Monument would bring in a new influx of tourists and pollution. The number of visitors streaming into some of the more hidden Santa Cruz County beaches has skyrocketed in the last few years, and he says the beachgoers have been hearing about the coastal hangouts through social media. It’s been difficult, Spohrer adds, for officials to respond quickly enough with new staffing levels and facilities. “It’s such a special place that’s getting so much abuse from people that aren’t appreciating it like they should,” says Spohrer, who has also launched efforts imploring beachgoers to take stewardship and look after the places they visit. “It’s time that we stretch ourselves and reach out to the community to see how we can steward the beach more actively.” Spohrer, unlike previous superintendents, comes from an ecology background and has a unique perspective. “He’s taking a broader look at the State Parks to assess what needs to change,” Lin explains. Ryan Diller, a forestry aid in the State Parks, says a lot of departments work together in order to make a Saturday clean-up happen, like labor and providing trucks for hauling out trash. Law enforcement helps by sand-blasting graffiti. “Even though the State Parks acquired the Coast Dairies land 10 years ago, we haven’t necessarily had the funding to support an increase in management,” Diller says. “Chris has been really good at finding ways to fund things that in the past have never had funding. We want to the public to know that we are listening, and we are working for them.” Ongoing cleanups through the State Parks will happen quarterly at Panther Beach and are open to the public. The next clean-up is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Jan. 7. Additionally, Save our Shores hosts a beach cleanup at Davenport Beach on the first Sunday of each month. Meet in the parking lot at 9 a.m. to join in the efforts. Save our Shores also hosts beach clean-ups at all North County beaches throughout the year. Check their calendar at saveourshores.org for details.

hen you’re trying to establish an annual festival in Santa Cruz, you have to take a hard look from year to year at what works and what doesn’t. Like how local comic and promoter DNA, who put together this week’s third
HOT TICKET
annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival, spent a lot of time mulling over the strengths and weaknesses of last year’s festival, thinking: what could be funnier? What venues worked best? What can I do to avoid being murdered by surfers? In other words, there will not be a
repeat of last year’s event in which he had comedians set up for two hours in front of Steamer Lane, providing snarky commentary on the action. “We’re not going to heckle the surfers again,” DNA says. “We almost got our asses beat.” Still, he says it with a bit of
glee. This is why he and a network of more than 100 volunteers are presenting 75 comics at 10 venues over four nights, Oct. 13-16. He wants to try things that haven’t yet been done, and push everyone— especially himself—a bit out of their safety zones. >24

<22 And there will definitely still be snarky commentary at this year’s festival, but it’ll be aimed at what’s probably a better target on Saturday night, when four comics will be at the Del Mar riffing Mystery Science Theater 3000-style on the midnight movie, which will be Roger Corman’s 1959 beatnik B-horror flick A Bucket of Blood. For those not familiar with the “live riffing” phenomenon, it came about after the MST3000 crew had finished 10 seasons of mocking bad movies from start to finish on the show. In the mid-2000s, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett with RiffTrax Live!, and Joel Hodgson with Cinematic Titanic evolved their original format into providing real-time commentary over movies at live events. The SCCF’s version will feature four Bay Area comics, including Kaseem Bentley and trans comedian Natasha Muse. “Everyone does that with their friends, but when you see four professionals doing it, it’s mindblowing,” says DNA. “That’s when I love comedy—when it gets to the edgy, wild side.” There are comedians from all levels of fame at the festival, which opens with a “New Faces” showcase at Blue Lagoon on Thursday that reflects how the SCCF draws on and promotes the local underground comedy scene. “I’m really excited about the new crop of comedians,” he says. “Sometimes we have droughts, but there’s a huge new crew.” A show at 8 p.m. on Thursday at the Kuumbwa features comedy singer-songwriter Mishka Shubaly (“The Only One Drinking Tonight,” “Your Plus One at My Funeral”) and Portlandia’s Kristine Levine. On Saturday at 8 p.m., Pure Pleasure is once again hosting an “All Ladies Line Up” (which sold out last year), this time featuring Marcella Arguello, who’s made a name for herself on Comedy Central’s @midnight, Natasha Muse, Virginia Jones and Nicole Calasich. Also on Saturday, at the Kuumbwa, is the festival’s “All Stars” headliner show (also a sell-out every year), that features comedians who have all been on television, been voted best comic in their city, or have met some other high-profile criteria. The SCCF’s big finale on Sunday is a TV taping at the Rio for a comedy
special from Santa Cruz native Ian Harris. This will be Harris’ second special, but his first filmed in Santa Cruz—the other was filmed in Los Angeles, where he has lived now for more than a decade—and he’s hoping to bring out a massive show of hometown support for it. Like DNA and the SCCF, Harris is also fine-tuning his approach. Known for smart, sharp comedy that challenges popular beliefs ranging from religion to left-wing conspiracy theories, Harris found that his last special, Critical and Thinking, was considered a bit too “edgy” for some. “What I call ‘edgy’ are thoughts and ideas,” says Harris. “I had one dick joke in 71 minutes—and that joke was about alternative medicine. I don’t do much of that, period.” But after finding that “a lot of people were afraid to touch it,” he acknowledges that going so hard after sacred cows limited the appeal of Critical and Thinking, even though he considers it his best work in two decades of comedy. “It can get a little bit dicey,” he says. “I think that hurt me a little bit more. This one is more mainstream, but it’s still skepticism-based.” In considering how to balance those two approaches, he realized that as a result of focusing his comedy mission over two decades, he had abandoned some elements that he actually enjoyed, and had won acclaim for, like his impressions. So he’s closing the show with a barrage of 20 impressions—everyone from Robert De Niro to Gary Busey to Terrence Howard. And he even found a way to make it fit into his brand of comedy rather than just seeming tacked on to the set: he wraps it in a premise that satirizes climate-change denial. For Harris, it’s a big deal that he’s able to do this in Santa Cruz—it’s not only the first special by a native comedian taped here, but as far as anyone can remember, the first special to be taped here that will actually air. Harris is donating all the proceeds from the show to charity. “I’m really stoked that I’m able to do it in Santa Cruz,” he says. “I love that I’m from here. I love this place. I want to represent Santa Cruz well.” The Santa Cruz Comedy Festival runs Thursday, Oct. 13 through Sunday, Oct. 16. More info is at standupsantacruz.com.

How Dom Flemons became an ambassador for roots music’s unsung heroes BY CAT JOHNSON
W
hen Pete Seeger died in January of 2014, Dom Flemons, folk music enthusiast and founding member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, was interested to see who would fill the void. When no one did, he stepped up. “I know a lot of the history of the music, and I perform it, as well,” he says. “It would be ambitious for me to say I’m along the line of Pete ... but I’m throwing my hat in the ring and seeing how that could develop and continue to grow.” An ambassador for American roots music, Flemons doesn’t just play it, he lives it. From the way he dresses— checkered shirts, suspenders, wire
rimmed glasses and a throwback hat are his go-to look—to his playing style, his passion for sharing stories and his focus on educating people about the importance of folk music, the 34-year-old is doing the work to which Seeger devoted his life. “Pete became the guy who said, ‘Hey, everybody, let’s sing these old songs and make sure people remember them,’” says Flemons. OK, dressing in old-timey clothes and playing roots music is kind of trendy these days, but Flemons wants people to look deeper into the meaning and significance of the music. His own stripped-down and raw sound spans folk traditions from a variety of cultures as he finger picks
and strums age-old tunes on both guitar and banjo. He understands that people just want to have fun playing older styles, but he’d like them to know the history, as well. “There’s a deeper story,” he says. “If you take a little bit of time, you can find it.” Flemons is particularly interested in the music that tells the stories “between the cracks of the history books.” He focuses on the music that’s come out of the African-American experience, but points out that everyone can find musical roots. He recently launched American Songster Radio, a podcast to talk about music and “discuss the deeper issues.” “I’m not just interested in hearing
about who was the best person,” he says, “I’m interested in hearing about who was the second best and third best, so that I can understand a bigger context of why it was. There’s so much history that hasn’t been talked about.” Flemons is no longer with the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a group that generated widespread awareness of black string band traditions. His solo career allows him to get the sound he wants and explore whatever direction his folk journey takes him on. He’s taken to describing what he does as “American Songster,” asserting that the word songster— which simply means someone who sings and plays songs in a variety of styles—is “so old that it’s new again.” For Flemons, it describes what he does without being too genre specific. Flemons recently collaborated with English singer-songwriter Martin Simpson, who he calls a kindred spirit, to explore British and American folkways and how they intersect. His current project is an exploration of the history of black cowboys and their contributions to folk music for Smithsonian Folkways. He explains that black cowboys are behind several well-known cowboy songs, including “Home On the Range,” a tune that John Lomax recorded from a black cook working out on the range. “The bigger story of why the black cowboys were how they were is really something that’s fascinating,” Flemons says. “At a time when we have so much social upheaval in the United States, these stories need to be told more than ever.” Sharing the knowledge and stories found within folk traditions is something Flemons is passionate about. He considers his role to connect people with the music and inspire them to learn more. “I’m just trying to be a conduit for all that sort of stuff,” he says. “Just like Pete or Jim Kweskin, or folks like that, they were the conduit for people like me to understand the music of Mississippi John Hurt or Dock Boggs. There has to be a living conduit whose enthusiasm creates enthusiasm in other people.” Dom Flemons will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $18/door. 335-2800.

515 KITCHEN & COCKTAILS After five years of working at 515 Kitchen & Cocktails, Bar Manager Ethan Samuels is excited for another savory Santa Cruz Restaurant Week. “I love how it brings in customers who might not normally eat here,” Samuels says. “We have a very dedicated following, but there are still people who have never taken

the opportunity to try us out.” Samuels says that this year’s SCRW patrons are in for a delectable treat that didn’t have to travel far to be on their table. “We’ll be showcasing some aperitif cocktails and delicious local ingredients from Santa Cruz and California,” he hints, “along with beer and wine pairing with our entrees and some of our limited sipping spirits to pair with dessert.” 515 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. 425-5052, 515santacruz.com.

AQUARIUS Aquarius isn’t just a destination restaurant for special occasions, says General Manager CJ Hartman— they’ve got a seven-day happy hour and a “light bites” tapas-style menu in the lounge. “Restaurant Week gives the local community the opportunity to dine at a local establishment at a great value,” says Hartman, adding that it also allows them to explore beyond their
normal gustatory range. Having something for everyone is important to Hartman, which is why he says there will be a vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian option in each course of the prix-fixe menu. For the meat lovers, though, he says steak is always a triumph—this year it’ll be prime sirloin with horseradish mashed potatoes and port demiglace. And it’s not only the patrons who get excited for the week of dining delights, says Hartman, who

CAFE MARE When chef Jean Pierre Iuliano creates a Restaurant Week menu, he doesn’t just bring 25 years of experience to the table, he brings the original flavorings and homestyle memories from Calabria, “the toe of the boot of Italy.” He’s making recipes he grew up eating, and since Iuliano’s co-partner Andrea Mura is from Sardinia, between the two of them Cafe Mare’s menu is
pure Italian goodness. Last year’s Restaurant Week fan favorite, says Iuliano, was the penne Taleggio e speck (penne pasta in cream sauce in sharp Taleggio cheese from northern Italy with pork thigh and green peas), which is back this year along with ravioli della nonna (walnut-filled ravioli with Gorgonzola sauce) and snapper Livornese (red snapper with capers, olives, onions, tomatoes and white wine). New on this year’s menu will be the carpaccio di tonno, fresh albacore tuna from which they extract the loins, coat with herbs, wrap and freeze for a fresh appetizer served with lemon, olive oil and capers. 740 Front St #100, Santa Cruz. 458-1212, cafemare.com.

CHOCOLATE David Jackman, owner and chef at Chocolate, is perhaps one of the more experimental folks when it comes to designing a SCRW menu. One year, he designed an entire menu inspired by one of his teacherchefs from Italy. Some customers thought it was too much of a departure from their standard menu, so he’s since reeled it in a bit. “That’s been some very useful feedback. For the most part, Santa Cruz Restaurant Week for us tends to be very seasonal in what we’re offering. We like to use Restaurant Week to use some of our autumn flavors,” says Jackman. A great example is on last year’s menu, for which Jackman made a barbecue sauce
based on persimmons. This year he’ll be doing a repeat of something off of last year’s menu: their pasta rosette, but with butternut squash. “It’s really the cousin of pumpkin ravioli. Instead of using pumpkin, we use butternut squash. And we use a format for pasta rosette.” Over the years, one item that Jackman is most proud of is a dessert called Sacher torte. “It’s one of the most popular desserts in Europe, and it doesn’t really go much here. It’s based on a Viennese recipe and they sell it all over Italy. It’s a dark chocolate ganache with an apricot filling.” 1522 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 427-9900, chocolatesantacruz.com. (AC)

CREMER HOUSE For the Cremer House, Santa Cruz Restaurant Week is always a good time to experiment with dishes. Last year they made a curry dish with roasted vegetables, which chef JP Doiron called “really good for ‘white boy making curry.’” They also did a scallop dish with curry sauce. “Scallops are delicious with just about anything. It happened to be a coincidence at the time. We had two curry recipes, and they represented us really well.” Doiron wasn’t head chef last year, but this year the menu is all his. Nothing on it will be from the regular menu. “You have to specifically order the Restaurant Week menu to get these items. That makes it a little more
exclusive,” he says. Some highlights include a kale Caesar salad with crispy potato chips and Parmesan, and desserts coconut panna cotta and butterscotch pudding. 6256 Hwy. 9, Felton. 335-3976, cremerhouse.com. (AC)
CROW’S NEST Jeff Westbrook has been the executive chef at Crow’s Nest for 18 years, and has seen firsthand what an impact Restaurant Week can have. “It’s about 75 percent of our sales in that week,” he says. “I remember the first year that we did it, I was surprised at the percentage.” In fact, Westbrook says that people seemed to enjoy SCRW so much that it inspired him to do a

EL JARDÍN For the second year of Restaurant Week at El Jardín, it’s all about their award-winning mole. Server/ manager Kayla Delgado wants it front and center in this year’s menu—it’ll be the flavorful base for chicken breast served with rice and beans. New to the SCRW game last year, Delgado says they quickly learned that a full three-course meal of Mexican food can be a lot. So, although she says “Mexican food tastes good the next day,” and they offer to-go boxes, they are serving smaller appetizers this year as a palate opener. Additionally, Delgado has made a point to add more vegetarian options, like the veggie fajita bowl with romaine and spinach salad topped with grilled fajita vegetables, brown rice, black beans, sour cream, pico de gallo and Cotija cheese. 655 Capitola Road, Santa Cruz. 477-9384, eljardinrestaurant.net.

GABRIELLA CAFÉ Tucked away off of Cedar Street in downtown Santa Cruz, the cozy Gabriella Café is a romantic destination. Owner Paul Cocking is committed to using the freshest ingredients from local farms to create an adventurous menu of house-made pastas, vibrant salads and perfectly cooked meats. During Santa Cruz Restaurant Week, Cocking showcases
Gabriella Café’s most popular offerings from their regular menu. The duck breast with quinceapple gastrique and tomatobraised California lamb shank are especially popular choices for guests visiting the restaurant for the first time, which he believes is due to the superior preparation of these seldom seen items. This year they are debuting a new dish—butternut squash raviolis with truffle honey, walnuts, sage and goat cheese. 910 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. 457-1677, gabriellacafe. com. (LS)
HINDQUARTER BAR & GRILLE “I’m dancing as fast as I can” pretty much describes Restaurant Week at the Hindquarter Bar & Grille, say owners Laurie Stephens, Mark Urban and Chef Sam Yanez. This is their third year as owners, but they have all worked at Hindquarter since SCRW began. Stephens says, “We have kept the menu basically the same because it showcases three of our regular menu items, which we feel is what you want to do to bring people back in. They all sell fairly equally, and we get so many compliments on everything. Why change what works?” Stephens adds that the RW menu can actually be a little easier on the kitchen because instead of 50 different items, there are only three, and the majority of dinners served during that week are the RW three-course option. “There is definitely more prep work for the kitchen, but it’s all worth it. We just ride the wave every year during Restaurant Week and it’s a blast!” 303 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 426-7770, thehindquarter.com. (JS)
HOFFMAN’S Owner Ed Hoffman takes pride in putting out a solid SCRW menu. Every year, they try out some new ideas, while sticking within the style of cuisine Hoffman’s is known for. “We always like to show off what

<13 we can do, what we think our best things are. We’re always changing a little bit, working on our technique and what we also want to present the rest of the year too,” Hoffman says. Some of their favorite items in their regular menu even debuted on a Restaurant Week menu, two prime examples being the coconut prawns and the organic apple salad with Point Reyes blue cheese. The coconut prawns is on the menu year-round, whereas the apple salad is a recurring seasonal item. “We’re in apple season now, so we get those good fresh apples. They combine well with the Point Reyes blue cheese.” 1102 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 420-0135, hoffmanssantacruz. com. (AC)
HOLLINS HOUSE AT PASATIEMPO The sweeping views of the Monterey Bay from the historic dining room of Hollins House at Pasatiempo are truly jaw-dropping. Manager Annie Daly says that many visitors take the opportunity to visit their stunning restaurant during Santa Cruz Restaurant Week because the grounds where the restaurant is located are so beautiful. So many, in fact, that the Friday night of Restaurant Week in 2015 was the busiest evening Hollins House has ever had. It was also Daly’s first week as restaurant manager. “It was hectic, but fun,” she says. “It’s

“Typically it’s our busiest week in October,” says owner and general manager Dan Agostinis of SCRW. “We look forward to it. It’s nice to go outside the box and showcase our quality local farmers and providers.” Agostinis, who has been with the restaurant for 10 years, says the menu this year will be Coastal California cuisine that aims to “creatively turn raw ingredients into something the guest will enjoy.” He says the restaurant’s concept is more focused this year, “It’s all about local people, produce, proteins, and even wine and beer.” Agostinis hints at the SCRW menu by mentioning jalapeño poppers and even using the words “chocolate” and “flan” in the same sentence. “We’ve been kind of floating out the Restaurant Week items amongst ourselves, locals, and regulars, and they’ve been really well received,” he divulges. “People are already jonesing for them to be on the regular menu.” 493 Lake Ave., Santa Cruz. 479-3430, johnnysharborside. com. (AS)
KIANTI’S PIZZA & PASTA BAR This is Kianti’s second year participating in SCRW, and co-owner Tracey Parks-Barber can’t wait to make it a yearly tradition. “We hope to continue into the future,” she says. “Last year was a great experience.” So great, in fact, that this year they decided to keep the same menu diners loved. “We thought it was extremely successful, so we wanted to continue that,” Parks-Barber says. Her SCRW recommendation? “It’s hard to choose one meal because they’re all favorites, but I’d say the Kianti’s
insalate, the gourmet pasta and the Kianti’s cookie for dessert.” 1100 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. 469-4400, kiantis.com. (MW)
LAILI In addition to the aromatic Silk Road flavors of its Middle Eastern cuisine, downtown restaurant Laili is known for its gorgeous outdoor patio. With verdant greenery climbing its high brick walls, dining al fresco in this hidden courtyards feels a world away from the Pacific Avenue buzz. Manager Ali Amin offers their most popular South Asian specialties on their SCRW menu in order to give new guests a snapshot of the best the restaurant has to offer. Regulars will be familiar with the menu, says Amin, but they’ll enjoy a little bit of a discount. For first-time visitors, Amin recommends the kadoo boranee appetizer—butternut squash flavored with garlic, turmeric, mint and qurut yogurt. “It’s a really special dish, a family recipe,” says Amin. “People really fall in love with it.” 101 Cooper St., Santa Cruz. 4234545, lailirestaurant.com.

LINWOOD’S BAR & GRILL AT CHAMINADE The Linwood’s Bar & Grill staff believes that Restaurant Week has brought many first-time diners to the resort who then become repeat patrons. Their most popular SCRW tradition—and the dish that always sells out the fastest—is Sticky Toffee Pudding. The pudding was originally crafted for a notable guest who visited the resort year after year. It also ran periodically as a special on Linwood’s menu, and eventually it was added to Linwood’s seasonal dessert offerings, and a place on the SCRW prix fixe menu. It turns out that several of Linwood’s dishes have come about because clients want something crafted just for them, and the chefs pull out all the stops to create the perfect meal.

MARGARITAVILLE Sarah Orr, owner and general manager of Margaritaville, tells the story of a party that arrived during Restaurant Week last year, which she nicknamed the “Try Every Restaurant Quartet.” “This group came in on Thursday night with binders and planners in tow, and told me it was their goal to visit
20
every restaurant on the roster,” says Orr. “They detailed their lunch/ dinner strategy and showed me how they had managed to devise a plan to visit every restaurant. Two weeks later, I ran into one of the guests who sadly informed me that they didn’t achieve their goal because they hadn’t realized that ‘Restaurant Week’ was only a week. I encouraged them to visit the restaurants regardless, but to them it wasn’t the same. Over the past year, I have gotten to know this group as they have made their way through our Tequila List, and have tried every
dish on our menu. They told me last month that they are eagerly awaiting the 2016 roster so as to achieve their original goal.” 231 Esplanade, Capitola. 476-2263, margaritavillecapitola.com. (JS)
MICHAEL’S ON MAIN Over the years, Michael’s owner and chef Michael Clark and his crew have learned how to navigate the hectic pace of SCRW. “We put on our seat belts and go!” he says. After his many years in the kitchen, as well as
extensive travel, Clark knows well the importance of the umami factor, and designs all his menus using this concept. Clark’s play on the many cultures using umami is presented in his Restaurant Week first course of wild salmon gravlax, salt-cured, and served on a bed of arugula with champagne vinaigrette and dill crème fraîche. He says, “Customers don’t always realize why a dish tastes so fulfilling and satisfying; it’s an unconscious reaction.” He sums up the week by saying, “It not only brings a focus to our wonderful restaurants, but it takes place

MOZAIC Mozaic co-owner Jay Dib’s only complaint about Restaurant Week? It’s over too quickly. Mozaic would gladly serve a customer who shows up on the ninth day, after the stretch has officially ended, he says. Last year, the Mediterranean-themed restaurant had only been open a few weeks when it participated. “It gave us exposure. We were very happy with Restaurant Week,” he says of the experience, “and it was very consistent.” This time, chefs are
bringing back the chicken souvlaki, which was a big hit in 2015. “The chicken was probably what put us on the map. The technique we use for the chicken keeps it juicy,” Dib says. “The seasoning is the key to the flavors.” 110 Church St., Santa Cruz. 454-8663, mozaicsantacruz.com. (JP)

guests of honor, hoping that it will set the tone for what could be her most festive year yet: For the first time ever, Wilen plans to serve kottu roti. “You can’t find this food in Sri Lanka at a five-star hotel. This is the kind of food that you buy and go to see the sunset, because it’s only something you can find by the beach, and because it’s a show to put it together,” she says. 736 Water St., Santa Cruz. 475-2350, pearloftheocean.net.

And even though they have been through a lot, they always switch off their phones, and they hold hands, and look into each other’s eyes, and they really just enjoy each other,” says Wilen. “Sometimes it takes so long just for them to order, but I can really feel their love, and it is beautiful.” Wilen has invited this couple to kick off SCRW this year as her

For chef Peter McAtee, last year’s SCRW was all about validation, and he says it was one of the most fulfilling experiences he’s had in the industry. “It was like cooking for my girlfriend but on a large scale,” says McAtee. “It was my first year as head chef and it was crazy busy, at least two to three times busier than normal,” he continues. “We sold food like it was going out of style, it made me want to continue being a head chef because it seemed like I was doing something right.” Given a creative green light to design the menu both last year and this year, McAtee’s cuisine is Frenchinfluenced and approachable, and he comes into this year feeling the confidence that comes along with finding one’s niche. 3326 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz. 476-2733, thepointchophouse.com.

I’ve been watching people’s reactions to Restaurant
Week online and I’m excited about all the positive reactions. ” This year, Ristorante Italiano chose not to stray from their already delicious menu. Instead they decided to add twists to customer favorites like mini cannolis, pumpkin gelato and deep-fried artichoke hearts. “Last year, the pumpkin cheesecake was a highlight for me,” remembers Garcia. “You can never go wrong with sweets and I love our desserts.” 555 Soquel Ave., #150, Santa Cruz. 4582321, ristoranteitalianosc.com.

keeping it simple. “We’ve decided not to create a menu with too many components, like the year we served salmon en papillote, and on the same menu offered banana splits. We got so far behind wrapping the salmon in parchment that the delay caused the ice cream to melt. Today’s trend is leading us back to simplicity. Keep it simple and delicious!” he says. “It’s not about what you sell, it’s the experience,” says manager Jeff Hanson. “It’s an opportunity to interface with more of your public and build your restaurant’s name.” 1 Seascape Resort Drive, Aptos, 662-7120, sanderlingsrestaurant.com.

SEVERINO’S BAR & GRILL Seacliff Inn general manager Debbie Parsons looks forward to SCRW. Each year she takes participation to a new level by sending her managers out to experience the creative dishes at our local restaurants—and, yes, she pays. A few of the dishes that have been big hits for Seacliff Inn’s Severino’s are roasted beet and fresh watermelon salad frisée and French feta in fresh herb vinaigrette. Another favorite with customers is wild Alaskan salmon stuffed with
garlic prawn vegetable mousse on a bed of asparagus, with fingerling potatoes and sweet red bell pepper coulis, enhanced with a touch of lobster base. The dessert of choice, pumpkin crème brulée, appears again this year. Restaurant Week diners especially enjoy the generous portions served, which Severino’s is known for. 7500 Old Dominion Court, Aptos. 661-4672, severinosbarandgrill. com. (JS)

He plans to pick up eggs from either Fogline Farm or Mellody Ranch. He’ll see if Schletewitz Family Farms is selling its scrumptious sweet potatoes, and he’ll nab lettuce from either Happy Boy, Route 1 or Blue Heron farms. “It’s always a little bit of crap shoot, especially when we have to plan things out so far in advance,” he admits, but Soif’s farm-to-table approach always pays off. Once they get moving, the eight days make for an exciting, if trying, time for the
entire team. “It’s a combination of high expectations and high volume. It creates a certain anxiety. It’s like the homecoming game and the homecoming dance all rolled into one,” Denham says. “It’s one of those things that everyone’s excited about, and then when it’s gone, everyone’s relieved.” 105 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz. 423-2020, soifwine.com.

out last year due to a transition in branding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restaurant Week is a very busy time for us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for business and gets locals back into the mix,â&#x20AC;? says Martinez, who has been with Solaire since the day they opened four years ago. He says that during previous SCRWs they were very busy and received good feedback, turning a lot of first-time customers into repeat business. A collaborative effort between him and his team, Martinez is excited about the menu this year, which will feature New American cuisine. He looks forward to going outside the norm and presenting common ingredients done in fresh, modern, and uncommon ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very ambitious menu,â&#x20AC;? says Martinez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to put my vision onto a plate.â&#x20AC;? 611 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. 6004545, hotelparadox.com.

SPLASH A few years ago, Caleb Hascom, then the head chef at 515, put a special deboned chicken on his Restaurant Week menu. It had to be stuffed with prosciutto, Gouda and spices before searing. All told, it took three hours to prep a batch, so he made a few dozen before the first night to last several days. They sold out right away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so popular that I was making that for the rest of the week,â&#x20AC;? says Hascom, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now at the newly opened Splash on the Santa Cruz Wharf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have people getting in the door and trying your restaurant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a fun time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always busy.

STONEHOUSE BAR & GRILL Chef Mark Laverty arrived on the scene at Stonehouse Bar & Grill just two months ago, but his more than 10 years of experience working as a chef in the Silicon Valley left him with a great appreciation for the culturally diverse flavors found there. He’s also experienced quite a few Restaurant Weeks, and sees them as a litmus test for customers’ palates. “For me, it’s always great to find out what people like. Sometimes you get to talk to them and find out, other times you look at your
sales and find out what sold. If your fish sells well, or your short ribs, or pasta, then that’s what you’re doing,” says Laverty. He’s noticed, especially over the past two years, that customers seem to be shifting away from pasta dishes, and leaning more toward proteins, a nice sauce, vegetables, and minimal starch. “One thing that has gone really well is a pan-roasted halibut with roasted pepper couli and succotash, and it was stunning,” says Laverty. This year’s SCRW menu is a great time to come out and welcome Laverty, who says he’ll be shying away from salads for a few moreexciting appetizers, one entrée that calls back to the comfort food of the South, and a dessert involving in-season pears and apples. 6001 La Madrona Drive, Santa Cruz. 440-1000.

SÜDA “What’s nice on the restaurant side is that we’re able to do coursing,” states general manager Ayesha Bonnit, recalling one of her favorite aspects of past Restaurant Weeks. “It was very nice bringing in customers to have a three-course meal and seeing them share with friends.” Bonnit stresses what a great and relaxing dining experience a prix-fixe menu can provide, allowing the guests to enjoy each other’s company in a leisurely manner, and what great conversation can be born from this kind of atmosphere. She says when it comes to the menu, “We’re really excited about all the dishes, introducing items that people want but wouldn’t ordinarily order.” She excitedly offers a teaser about a sure-to-please seasonal dessert option that has never before been served at Süda. “In general, we’re focusing more on seasonal items that keep the menu interesting,” Bonnit adds, also mentioning that they have a specialty cocktail menu with more seasonal surprises that are meant to be paired with the RW menu. 3910 Portola Drive, Santa Cruz. 600-7068, eatsuda.com.

TYROLEAN INN SCRW can be a stressful time at the Tyrolean Inn. But the plus side is that it introduces new people to this wonderful place. “Restaurant Week does create some business. Once it’s happening, it’s exciting. People come in, they ask questions about the place. This restaurant is a little bit of a destination location, so people like to ask questions. It’s always nice to see new people,” says floor manager Hanz LaFrance. They like to stick to basics when it comes to the Restaurant Week menu. “The chef chose things that are on the menu. He hasn’t ventured off it because we’ve been serving this menu for so long,” says LaFrance. “People like that menu … That’s why they come here, for the favorite foods. So that’s what we try and give
them.” Hwy. 9, Ben Lomond. 336-5188, tyroleaninn.com. (AC)
WATER STREET GRILL Opening a new restaurant in a spot that was previously a different restaurant—maybe even a few different restaurants—can be tough. That’s a problem owner Jonathan Degeneres ran into when he opened Water Street Grill, which had been YOLO, last year. While Degeneres was actually committed to honoring what YOLO had done, he also had a lot of new elements he wanted Santa Cruz diners to discover. Much to his surprise, his special menu for Santa Cruz Restaurant Week turned out to be just what he needed to make them take notice. “This location has been tough. Last year’s [SCRW] really helped us a lot,” says Degeneres. “It got people excited.” He had tried to keep the menu fairly simple last year, but he’s making Water Street Grill’s SCRW follow-up bigger and better, including a whole lot of fresh organic greens—an appetizer of sautéed radishes with green beans, for instance. He’ll also have some items that are exclusive to SCRW, like the spinach ravioli entrée. 503 Water St., Santa Cruz. 3326122, thewaterstreetgrill.com. (SP)

ZELDA’S ON THE BEACH Zelda’s on the Beach is best known for its lobster and prime rib nights, breakfast, and idyllic location just off the sand of Capitola’s Main Beach. But it’s their dessert sales that see an uptick in the weeks following SCRW, says manager Pam Edmonds. “Almost every one of our desserts are made in house,” says Edmonds. Not only are they made in-house (available at the coffee bar), but they’re made by a budding baker
at Zelda’s who is concurrently enrolled in the culinary program at Cabrillo College. Highlights include a carrot cake and a cheesecake, which will likely be the star of this year’s RW menu at Zelda’s. 203 Esplanade, Capitola. 475-4900, zeldasonthebeach.com. (MG)

‘MOTHERS OF MEN’ SILENT FILM SCREENING Long before The Lost Boys and Chasing Mavericks, there was Mothers of Men. Santa Cruz holds a rich history of film, dating all the way back to the silent era when the stars Zasu Pitts, James Stewart, Jeanette MacDonald and Lassie graced these streets. But the real jewel of local history is Mothers of Men, the feature-length silent film shot in 1917 featuring Dorothy Davenport as Judge Clara Madison. Madison sentences a murder to death but faces a difficult choice when her husband ends up in her courtroom. The film was produced three years before the 19th amendment and was an attempt to enter the suffrage movement by showing the nation women’s strength if in political office. Until 2015 the film was believed to be lost forever and now it returns to Santa Cruz with a live musical accompaniment by Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra and introductory comments by the film archivist and historians.

MUSIC CALENDAR
LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND PAN DULCE
When the members of Watsonville’s Pan Dulce were coming up, they really had no idea how many people—or what instruments even—they’d need. The group quickly evolved into a six-piece ensemble with two guitars, bass, drums, keys, and a trombone. Alejandro Rayburn could have played guitar, but he really wanted to play trombone, primarily because of his love of ska, and how the horns added another dimension to the music. But he didn’t just want to stop there.
OCTOBER 12-18, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“Ska is great, but there’s other ways to use [horns], like Trombone Shorty. He uses the horn in ways that aren’t common. There’s a lot of musicians like Cat Empire, and Chicago, that are also using horns in very different ways,” Rayburn says.
42
The music the group currently plays only has a hint of ska. On their website, they refer to it as “rock,” mostly because it’s the simplest way to describe their hardto-classify sound. There are elements of punk, reggae, rock, pop, New Wave, and Latin music all mixed together. The group is nearly finished with its debut EP. The members say that the Latin influences are becoming more prominent on their new material, with just a little bit of Spanish finding its way to the music, though they still have a smorgasbord of diverse influences. Or as Rayburn says: “We’re trying to head in a Latin, rock en Español direction, but not necessarily ‘en Español,’ more in a Latin American feel.” AARON CARNES

THE JULIE RUIN
WEDNESDAY 10/12 HIP-HOP
ZION I + LAFA TAYLOR Oakland born and raised, Zion I rapper Baba Zumbi was recently forced to relocate to San Leandro when his landlord decided to sell. Zumbi’s song “Tech $” documents the experience, and is accompanied by footage of his family moving out of their house. Gentrification is only one of many social justice issues Zion I focuses on. The duo will be joined onstage by Lafa Taylor, a singer, rapper and producer who draws on his Costa Rican roots and combines English, Spanish, Japanese and Patois in his lyrics. KATIE SMALL INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.
ELECTRO/POP
THE JULIE RUIN In the early 1990s, Kathleen Hanna helped pioneer the Riot Grrrl movement, a DIY upswell of underground feminist punk rock, zines, art and activism. Her band, Bikini Kill, remains one
of the defining acts of the era, but Hanna didn’t stop there. In the late-1990s she formed Le Tigre, an electroclash band that dealt with issues of feminism, gender and sexuality. Her latest project, the Julie Ruin, which Hanna launched post-Bikini Kill and formed into a band in 2010, is a dance-y synth-pop band whose latest offering, Hit Reset, was described by Hanna as being some of her most personal work yet.

THURSDAY 10/13 ROOTS/BLUES
BRIAN BROMBERG Jazz bassist Brian Bromberg took up the upright bass at age 13 and put himself on such a strict practice regimen that he tested out of high school to focus exclusively on his music. Now a renowned jazzman, Bromberg continues to stretch his capabilities and impress with his dedication. His latest album, Full Circle, sees Bromberg returning to his acoustic roots and showcasing his multi-instrumental chops after an injury left him
unable to play the electric bass. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.
FRIDAY 10/14 ELECTRONIC
SURVIVE Since 2009, Austin’s Survive has been part of a growing experimental analog synth scene—arguably the best group in it. The band produced instrumental, foreboding jams that have the aggression of rock, but the sound of a 1980s horror movie. Something happened earlier this year that launched this four-piece into the national spotlight: Two of the members actually scored an ’80s horror film. OK technically, it was Stranger Things, but it’s basically a ’80s horror film that just happens to be made now. The show’s opening sequence, and its eerie score became iconic to this breakout show. Survive’s music isn’t a stretch from what Stranger Things fans might imagine. The members just released their sophomore album, RR7349, on Sept 30th.

RUDRESH MAHANTHAPPA
ROCK
An alto saxophonist of steely authority, Rudresh Mahanthappa has been a fount of enthralling concepts over the past two decades, ideas he’s explored with a brilliant cast of players, including pianist Vijay Iyer, guitarist Rez Abbasi, and drummer Dan Weiss. One of 2015’s best albums, Mahanthappa’s Bird Calls (ACT Music) extrapolates on the bebop syntax of Charlie Parker from a decidedly 21st century perspective with consistently revelatory results. As on the album, he’s joined by trumpeter Adam O’Farrill and a new rhythm section with pianist Joshua White, bassist Thomson Kneeland, and the extraordinary drummer and hand percussionist Dan Weiss.
SCARY LITTLE FRIENDS Scary Little Friends’ bio says the band has “no gimmicks or tricks, just great songs.” Is that even possible? Isn’t that kind of a gimmick in itself? Well, if it is, it’s a good one, because the San Francisco three-piece rock band is pretty amazing at crafting straight up, no frills sounding rock n roll. The music is easy going, but with Jeff Buckley-level passion, mostly in its dynamic vocal execution. There isn’t a lot to the riffs—it brings to mind some of Wilco’s heavier rockers. It serves as the perfect backdrop for lead singer/guitarist Chris Jones’ heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics,

Every punk rocker has a friend who’s seen the Dwarves, and swears they saw them punch someone in the face, or worse. Whether those stories are exaggerated is another matter. The point is that the band’s shock-rock music is offensive enough to make you believe those things really happened. If that’s your thing, then the Dwarves could be your Beatles. These days, their music is a lot of beefy hardcore riffs and shout-along choruses. But if you dig deep into the Dwarves catalog, there’s also some pretty killer garage and psych-rock tunes in the mix. AC
strumentalist and human-rights activist, Kuti fostered a unique community through music; his legacy lives on in sweaty dance floors, fueled by tribal funk. Oakland’s 17-piece Afrobeat ensemble Lagos Roots will be joined by Nigerian reggae collective Seed N Soil for a special celebration of the life and music of the Yoruba legend. KS
In the last 16 years, Blitzen Trapper has gone from a Portland upstart band making home demos to an acclaimed act that Rolling Stone magazine placed on its top albums and songs lists, an indie label standout, and recipient of wide and steady praise as frontrunners of the new country-rock revival. Adding to the band’s underground credibility, the members recorded their latest album, this year’s Live at Third Man, at Jack White’s Blue Room Stage in Nashville. Covering the ground between loss, love and the open road, Blitzen Trapper has established itself as a standout American indie rock act. CJ

Suspense speeds along in thriller ‘Girl on the Train’ BY LISA JENSEN
48
W
hile I was traveling this summer, it seemed like every other woman passenger was reading the Paula Hawkins bestselling thriller The Girl on the Train. I was not one of them, so I don’t know how faithfully the movie adaptation sticks to the book. But I can tell from the screen version all of the ingredients that made the story such a compelling read: an unreliable narrator/protagonist with a fragile grasp of the facts; a plot that revolves around three women, tangled together in unexpected ways, and the men in their lives; and one tough cookie of a policewoman trying to piece it all together. The movie The Girl on the Train, was directed by Tate Taylor, whose last
screen version of a novel was The Help. Hawkins’ book was adapted by scriptwriter Erin Cressida Wilson, who emphasizes the femme-o-centric aspects of the story by introducing its three pivotal female characters right up front—long before we know who they are, or how they are connected. Figuring out those connections (especially when a murder may—or may not—have been committed) keeps the viewer guessing and intrigued, right up to the end. At the story’s center is the eponymous Rachel (Emily Blunt), who rides the commuter train through the suburbs into the city every day. She’s obsessed with an attractive young couple she sees in their house as she rides by twice a day. She imagines the
beautiful blonde and her sexy husband have the perfect life. “She’s what I lost,” muses Rachel from her train car. “She’s everything I want to be.” In her own real life, Rachel is a divorcee whose husband, Tom (Justin Theroux) left her because of her drinking problem. Depressed when she was unable to bear a child, Rachel started turning to the bottle, and she still has alcohol-fueled blackout periods when she can’t remember what she’s done—like incessantly texting Tom, to the point that his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson) considers it harassment. But one day, from the train, Rachel sees something not quite right in her fantasy couple’s perfect paradise. What she sees isn’t a crime, although
soon enough, it appears that a crime may have taken place. Rachel herself begins to have disturbing visions she can’t quite recall of a chase through a tunnel in the park, after she wakes up scraped and bruised, with blood on her hands. After she’s questioned by Police Detective Riley (Allison Janney, at her acerbic, insinuating best), Rachel joins AA to try to regain her memory. Although Rachel doesn’t actually know the couple she spies on from the train, the filmmakers quickly introduce us to footloose Megan (Haley Bennett) and short-fused Scott (Luke Evans). They have issues around his desire to have kids, and her reluctance, for which Megan visits a soft-spoken shrink, Dr. Abdic (Edgar Ramirez). Rachel also sees Dr. Abdic, to help her recover her memories, and she feels compelled to meet Scott and provide evidence as the case builds—although her inability to separate fantasy from reality only confuses things. The filmmakers are very smart about how much information they leak to the audience, and when. It’s often up to viewers to consider the relative truth and context of what we think we see onscreen—just as Rachel struggles to understand what has and has not happened. Blunt is terrific in the complicated role of Rachel, as flawed, vulnerable, and misguided as she often is. Bennett and Ferguson are equally strong, while the filmmakers astutely manipulate our feelings about each of the men from one frame to the next. With slowly surfacing memories, possible hallucinations, and parallel stories to sort out, screenwriter Wilson has her hands full organizing the material. She does this with varying degrees of success: her impressionistic storytelling mostly adds up, despite resorting to seemingly random title cards (“Three weeks earlier.” “Five days ago.”) that keep interrupting the action, especially in the final act. Still, she and Taylor generate plenty of suspense in this efficient thriller. THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN *** (out of four) With Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, Luke Evans, and Allison Janney. Written by Erin Cressida Wilson. From the Novel by Paula Hawkins. Directed by Tate Taylor. A DreamWorks release. Rated R. 112 minutes.

Simmons co-star. (R) 128 minutes.

For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM.
NOW PLAYING THE BIRTH OF A NATION No, the U.S. as a post-racial society is not a thing just because a bunch of people watched 12 Years a Slave. Yes, the enslavement of 10.7 million people in the U.S. ended in its legal form some time ago. But the stories still deserve telling, their legacies honored and
their cruel remnants discussed— that’s why the true story of Nat Turner’s rebellion in the antebellum South is coming to the big screen. Nate Parker directs. Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Mark Boone Junior co-star. (R) 120 minutes. BLAIR WITCH ’90s revival is so in right now. Or was that last season? Hang on to your Doc Martens, James is going into the Blair Witch forest to find his sister. Adam Wingard directs. James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Corbin Reid co-star. (R) 89 minutes. BRIDGET JONES’S BABY It’s the movie series we kind of hate to love, but will still always mostly love. Yes, her face is different—and since when is Bridget Jones so thin?—but whatever, we still want to find out who the father of her unborn bebe is, and we’re definitely rooting for McDreamy (sorry Mr. Darcy). Sharon Maguire directs. Renée Zellweger, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent. (R) 122 minutes. CAPTAIN FANTASTIC Raising his six children to be philosopher kings in the forest of the Pacific West, Viggo Mortensen is thrown back into the harsh truth of the real world when his wife suddenly passes away. Matt Ross directs. Frank Langella and Kathryn Hahn co-star. (R) 118 minutes. DEEPWATER HORIZON In 2010, an ultra-deepwater, dynamically positioned, semi-submersible offshore oil drilling rig weighing 52,590 tons exploded. Before it created the worst oil spill in history, the people on the rig had to fight for their lives to get off of it. Peter Berg directs. Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, Douglas M. Griffin co-star. (PG-13) 107 minutes. THE DRESSMAKER Reviewed this issue. Jocelyn Moorhouse directs. Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth co-star. (R) 119 minutes. DON’T BREATHE Did you hear the one about the kids who tried to rob a blind guy, but it turned out he was a psycho ninja and they ended up trapped in his house, fighting for their lives? It’s this movie. Fede Alvarez directs. Stephen Lang, Jane
Levy, Dylan Minnette co-star. (R) 88 minutes. DON’T THINK TWICE It’s not all right! Mike Birbiglia and his adorable, hilariously dysfunctional group of comedy besties get their big break, and all is looking up until it looks like one of them might outshine the rest. Mike Birbiglia directs. Keegan-Michael Key and Gillian Jacobs co-star. (R) 92 minutes. THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN Reviewed this week. Tate Taylor directs. Haley Bennett, Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux co-star. (R) 112 minutes. IXCANUL Seventeen-year-old María lives with her parents on the slopes of an active volcano in Guatemala. She’s promised to Ignacio, a good pick by her parents’ rules, but she wants to flee the small village of her birth with Pepe. Ixcanul delves into the sociopolitical reality of how indigenous people in Guatemala are exploited, and the ever-present battle with modernity. Jayro Bustamante directs. María Mercedes Coroy, María Telón, and Manuel Antún co-star. 93 minutes. KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS Kubo’s just your average eyepatchwearing young boy caring for his sick mother when a spirit from the past turns his life upside down with an old vendetta and he has to locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his father. Travis Knight directs. Charlize Theron, Art Parkinson, Ralph Fiennes co-star. (PG) 101 minutes. THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS Just try getting through this entire preview without at least tearing up: Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender play a couple in Western Australia who lose what they thought was their chance at starting a family—until they hear a baby’s cries from the ocean waves. Their hopes seem magically restored when they rescue the baby from the water and raise her as their own. But then they meet Rachel Weisz, a grieving mother who lost her baby at sea ... Pack extra tissues. Derek Cianfrance directs. (PG-13) 132 minutes. LITTLE MEN Jake has a new friend, the son of Leonor, who runs the shop
downstairs. But Jake’s dad hasn’t made any money in years, and now the family really needs Leonor to pay higher rent. Two 13-year-old boys are left fighting for their friendship to survive in a sea of complicated adult frustrations. Ira Sachs directs. Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina García co-star.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Denzel Washington is the courier of righteousness and he’s raining down hell on savage thieves with the help of a ragtag group of gun men. This is actually a remake of a remake, as the 1960 Yul Brenner “original” was really the American version of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai. Antoine Fuqua directs. Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke co-star. (PG-13) 132 minutes.
OPERATION AVALANCHE What if the moon landing was faked? OK, it wasn’t. But what if it was? True, it wasn’t. But just pretend it was, for the sake of this found-footage conspiracy thriller. Matt Johnson directs. Matt Johnson, Owen Williams, Josh Boles co-star. (R) 94 minutes.
MASTERMINDS Believe it or not, the luscious, blow-dried Kenny Loggins mane that Jason Sudeikis sports in this film is based on a true story. The 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery in which the vault supervisor, his girlfriend and six other conspirators stole $17.3 million dollars in cash, to be exact. Jared Hess directs. Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon co-star. (PG-13) 94 minutes. MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE When the biggest bully is a school official with rules like: no talking, no outside food, no laughing, no going to the bathroom. And we thought our middle school years were bad. Steve Carr directs. Lauren Graham, Griffin Gluck, Rob Riggle co-star. (PG) 92 minutes. MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN Be still, our beating hearts—the fantastical world of Tim Burton’s Home for Peculiar Children has finally arrived.

FOOD & DRINK herbs, with its cushiony, crunchy mouthfeel. Green against orange. For my entree I chose the evening’s special pasta—a dish of plump gnocchi that had been sauced with shreds of slow-cooked pork and those little orange tomatoes ($20). The pork and pomodori formed a sauce synergy that bathed each pasta. The star of the entire dinner, these gnocchi were full-bodied and comforting. The sauce was rich enough to act like a main course, yet subtle enough to flatter without overwhelming the pasta. Another entree of plump fresh Petrale sole arrived in a delicate broth, with spinach, branches of roasted fennel and zest of lemon ($28). It was deeply satisfying and redolent of late summer. Throughout this terrific meal I realized that this is what the advertising cliché “market-driven menu” really means. I need to build a wormhole between the West Side and Seabright so I can dine here more often. La Posta, open Tuesday-Sunday from 5 p.m. 538 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz. 457-2782.

La Posta’s harvest-driven specials embody late summer, plus a night with the Open Hearth BY CHRISTINA WATERS
E
very now and then, even in a top restaurant, a single dish stands out. Seriously stands out. The restaurant is La Posta, the dish was a plate of gnocchi. Chef Katherine Stern keeps an eye on the seasons, noting the exact moment that this or that latest harvest is particularly ripe. Tomatoes are having their moment just about now, which is why a handful of those tiny sweet orange cherry tomatoes adorned the plate of gnocchi Angie and I shared last week. Let me back up a bit and set
the table. I opted for a quartino of the excellent house Montepulciano, and Angie went rogue with a glass of opulent Sicilian “pink” wine the color of liquid rubies. From I Custodi “Alnuis” came this Etna Rosato 2015 that tasted like salted plums ($8). Addictive. Next, our two opening dishes. Late summer honeydew melon layered with lavish maroon leaves of bitter Treviso radicchio looked like a Frank Gehry miniature. A tangle of shaved fennel topped this salad, with added sex appeal coming from flecks
of Calabrian chili and shreds of fresh mint ($10). The bitter leaves playing off the ripe sweet melon, all kicked up a bit by the chilis and mint—late summer inspiration in every bite. Another starter of house-cured king salmon arrived on a slick of fermented chilis and cilantro ($12). All by itself, it was a sensuous combination of flavors—with the surprising visual of both underlying sauce and the salmon itself being the exact same shade of vermillion. My favorite part was the topping of fresh purslane, one of my favorite

n unfortunate result of visiting Thailand is that “Thai food” in America usually doesn’t measure up to the ultra-fresh, vibrant cuisine eaten half a world away. My refuge in Santa Cruz is Real Thai Kitchen and the colorful meals created by owner Ratana Bowden. Bowden, who owned a restaurant in her native Bangkok, took over the decades-old Real Thai Kitchen four years ago this month, updating the dark, kitschy faux-Asian decor to a bright dining room decorated with modern art from a Thai artist in San Francisco and bringing her favorite recipes from her homeland. “I want my guests to have a good experience for not a lot of money,” says Bowden. As I sip a floral Thai iced tea, Bowden explains that the captivating flavors in her native cuisine are created by balancing what she calls “the variety of taste”—sweet, sour, salty and spicy. In different proportions, these seemingly disparate flavors enhance each other and the fresh ingredients incorporated to create a harmonious finish. She believes many Americans are hesitant to try Thai food because
they’re afraid they can’t take the heat, but more than 80 percent of her menu isn’t spicy. Many of her most popular offerings, like pineapple fried rice, green curry and pad Thai, aren’t hot at all. That being said, if you want to eat like a local and spice it up, all you have to do is ask. One of my favorite Real Thai recipes is Trout in the Jungle, a panko-crusted filet deep-fried and topped with an aromatic mix of Thai and purple basil, cilantro, mint, green apple, scallion and raw cashews, then tossed with her spicy lime dressing—a simple Thai sauce with beautiful depth. I also adore the green papaya salad, a traditional snack found on almost every street corner in Thailand. Ripe papaya is very sweet, but when it’s still green, Thai people treat it like a vegetable. Shredded and tossed with green beans, peanuts and spicy lime dressing, it’s a refreshing low-cal snack. Intensely aromatic and textured, it’s dishes like these that take me back to the heady humidity and foreign sights, sounds and smells of faraway lands. 1631 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz. 427-2559. realthaisantacruz.com.

SUNSET SIPS Pelican Ranch’s 2015 Viognier is a hot-weather delight.
Pelican Ranch A Viognier 2015 to cool off with in the heat BY JOSIE COWDEN
I
’ve been drinking a lot of Viognier lately—my new hot-weather favorite. When the mini-heatwave arrived on the Central Coast last month, I much preferred a glass of chilled Viognier over a heavier red wine. Also, after a few weeks in Greece and England, drinking fairly good wine in Greece and some rather humdrum wine in the U.K., it was refreshing to return to wonderful local vino. At Gourmet Grazing on the Green, held on Sept. 24 in Aptos Village Park, I enjoyed Pelican Ranch’s 2015 Viognier (Mettler Vineyard, Lodi). This is a truly delightful mouthful of nectarine and flower blossom, complete with heady floral perfume. I kept going back for the intriguing flavors. Longtime owner and winemaker Phil Crews really knows his onions, er, grapes. He and his wife Peggy can be found in their tasting room most weekends, where you can try this vibrant Viognier ($24) and all of their other interesting wines as well. Pelican Ranch Winery, 100 Kennedy Drive, Capitola, 426-6911. pelicanranch.com.
THE HONEY LADIES After a honey tasting at a farmers market in Walnut Creek, I bought some raw unfiltered Blackberry Blossom Honey. Reading the label at breakfast, I saw that the company, the Honey Ladies, based in Los Gatos, actually helps out bees. The label reads: “This honey is made by bees that have been saved from extermination. When unwanted hives are found we safely collect the bees and hives and relocate them to our farm where we harvest the honey. Each jar of honey bought helps us save more hives.” Visit thehoneyladies.com for more info.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES FULL HUNTER’S MOON AND FESTIVAL OF JOY
Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Oct. 12, 2016 Saturday is the Full Hunter’s moon, which means it’s the Libra solar festival (23 degrees Libra). Everyone is invited to join the New Group of World Servers, reciting the Great Invocation (Mantram of Direction for Humanity) with the purpose of helping humanity arrive at Right Choice (especially in the U.S.). All of humanity is at present experiencing a Crisis of Reorientation and Initiation. The Libra festival involves Uranus in Aries, bringing us “all things new.” It may be a time of unexpected events and new realities. We observe with poise and equilibrium (Libra’s task). Sukkot is the Jewish Festival of Joy. The Aquarian new world religion will contain seeds from all previous religions (developmental stages) given to humanity since the beginning of time. Sunday evening, Sukkot, festival of the harvest, building temporary shelters and of
remembering, begins. Sukkot, a seven-day festival, is both historical and agricultural. Historically, Sukkot commemorates 40 years during which the children of Israel crossed the Sinai desert (left Egypt, the Taurus Age, for Israel, the Aries Age), were surrounded by protective “clouds of glory” and constructed temporary shelters. Creating and dwelling in a sukkah commemorates G-d’s kindness to his people. Agriculturally, Sukkot is the harvest festival of Ingathering. The word “sukkot” means temporary dwellings (shelters). Sukkot is pronounced “Sue COAT,” or the Yiddish, rhyming with “Book us (Sook-us).” Watch the YouTube video on how to build a sukkot. While building our temporary shelter, gathering the “citron, myrtle, palm and willow,” we must make sure we always see the stars.

Breathe fresh air. ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
So many changes are occurring—it’s good to be aware of different ideas, beliefs, behaviors and responses in all interactions. Recognize your ability to carefully handle money and resources, your capacity to discern and discriminate, and your competence in giving (and then giving some more). Relationships are important and of great value to Aries at this time. What value do you place in relationships?
Your future is unveiling itself in transformative ways. Can you feel a change? Your self-identity, how you see yourself, is expanding and reorganizing itself. Your professional and personal lives and how you interact with the world will subtly change too. Be very professional when communicating. Listen more and listen carefully. Use words that support and uplift. Your future holds new prospects, new openings and a new state of beauty.
TAURUS Apr21–May21 The ways we interact in relationships develop (in most cases) from what we observed and experienced as children with our families and the adults around us. Often you hide away in relationships, dedicated with constancy to those you love, hardly ever to leave. This dedication allows others to progress forward into expansive safe transformational places. We thank you. Do you feel loved enough in return?
There will be something given in the coming weeks, a discovery, a new learning about how you see yourself. It will begin with helping another. We see our own humanity when we help others. It’s like a mirror. When we embrace the needs of the times, seen through the needs of others, we build a new understanding. And our daily life changes. You are a resource for so many.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
It’s important to know that even though it’s compelling to return to previous ways of believing and thinking you won’t remain there. The purpose of a return is to relearn the lessons, discover all the goodness, offer forgiveness (if needed) and gratitude. Then go forward to meet your future. It is the story of the Dweller on the Threshold turning into the Angel of the Presence. One is Saturn, the other Venus.
Are you feeling self-protective? This question concerns your well-being in present and future relationships. In non-violent communication, also called compassionate communication, a core message is understanding the needs of self and others simultaneously. Discerning needs becomes a creative act, profoundly affecting all outer experiences. Cooperation begins in earnest with you. Note: you’re in the Nine Tests.
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Remember in ancient times when we cooked, baked, picked fruit in the garden, and made fires by day and night? Remember walks at daybreak and evenings under the stars? Remember the sense of community, yet also the loneliness, solitude and the ways a healing from family wounds came about? Remember that as adults we release all things sorrowful through forgiveness? Remember who loved you? What/whom do you love now?

Profound changes continue, especially in your self-identity and life direction. Group work is of great importance now. Perhaps your group is your family and a small coterie of friends. In groups people experience you as a transformer. This is your spiritual task in groups. It just happens. Sometimes it’s a difficult task. Understanding this helps you maintain confidence. And explains your purpose.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Tend to your resources and finances with the utmost care. It’s most important to continue to downsize so you can move forward quickly into where you’re really to be. This may feel unstable. However, it’s vital as a way to create the new sharing society. So, when able, give lots away. Then you’re less dependent upon physical things and more upon freedom, which you seek. Balances comes in having less.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22
PISCES Feb19–Mar20
You want freedom—especially financial. Let’s figure out all of the ways you can have resources and make money that’s your own. Or, if already making money, how you can encourage more to come in. One of the most important aspects of receiving money is tithing to those in need. When we give, we experience freedom. Give more and love more. Even though the issue may seem like money, what you are truly seeking is liberty.
“Amidst the whirling forces we stood confused. Swept up and down the lands, bewildered, blinded, nowhere to rest.” Finally, we said, “Here I stand and will not move till I know the law governing this very moment. I face many ways and soon I will determine for myself which way to go. I will travel no longer up and down the land. I will no longer be blinded. I will only upward move.” (Words from the Old Commentary for Neptune in Pisces)

Astrological Sign: Scorpio
Hobbies: Paying with kids, photography, movies, barbecuing Astrological Sign: Capricorn
What you folks like to cook? MARY: “Everything, including a lot of Italian food. I grew up on it. I do a lot of baking with the kids such as chocolate chip cookies, cakes, and more. We pretty much get all our ingredients from Shopper’s.” SCOTT: “I love barbecuing steaks, chicken, corn on the cob, and a variety of vegetables.” MARY: “We know all the butchers by name. Alex gave us a terrific recipe for roast chicken which we make all the time.” SCOTT: “The guys are great with meat recommendations and recipes, and they’ll special-cut what you need.” MARY: “The butchers and the checkers are great. Employees tend to stay here longer so you get to know them. Shopper’s is quite different...”
How so? SCOTT: “Shopper’s has a family-friendly atmosphere; our daughters, Bailey and Zoe, have always felt comfortable at here.” MARY: “It’s important to us that this is an independent market. It’s also the right size and has everything we need.” SCOTT: “It’s easy to do your shopping in a reasonable amount of time. Shopper’s isn’t distracting with too much stuff and giant lines like the bigger stores. I think it’s important to support our community. Here you know where your money is going” MARY: “It has a lot of diversity — from organic foods to your everyday basics.” SCOTT: “Plus many local products, like beer, wines, and coffees.” MARY: “I fully support the local handmade artisan goods they carry.”
You delve much into the specialty products? MARY: “Oh yes. Shopper’s has a great spice section, including many different types of salts — smoked, pepper and more. They carry the best cinnamon, Saigon cinnamon. Then there are the many olive oils, mustards, jams, kimchee, pickles, cheeses, and the Farmhouse Culture sauerkraut.” SCOTT: “I like that they have a variety of kales — we eat a lot. It seems that in general, Shopper’s produce is in better shape than other stores’ produce. This is a very comfortable market to shop in, and it feels like a second home.” MARY: “Shopper’s offers quality products and their service is great! I feel it’s important to have both. It’s where we do all our Shopping.”
