Like GoodLittle Villagers[Re: “Flack Market,” Sept. 19] I remember

Safeway’s catchy little melody back in the

eighties: “Friendly neighborhood store and

a whole lot more.” In the quaint village of

Aptos these days, Safeway really is going to

be a whole lot more, and she ain’t none too

friendly about it.

How quickly the warmth and bright

storefront revert to silent hostility when

the community disagrees with a major

expansion agenda. Ah, there’s the ruthless

beast with the friendly façade removed.

Grrrrr—don’t get in our way, just shop and

leave like good little villagers.

The recent public hearing at Aptos

Safeway where citizens spoke out about the

expansion swallowing up family businesses

was punctuated by the statement of Robert

Lyman, Safeway architect: “I want to capture

what Aptos is all about.”

Hmm—that must mean at present Aptos

is not quite up to a level of being what

the old lumber and apple vicinity is “all

about.” In 1974, I recall a San Francisco

developer and attorney wanting to show us

what Lighthouse Field was “all about” via a

sprawling convention center. In the spirit of

a near revolt, the townsfolk have the same

spirit starting by shopping at Nob Hill and

Deerpark instead of Safeway.

THEODORE F. MEYERSanta Cruz

If We Hada Hammer[Re: “The Fifth Dimension,” Sept. 26]

As past executive director of Mountain

Community Resources, I’ve observed the

strong leadership and consensus-building

skills of former Board President Eric

Hammer. His leadership in expanding

services to youth and into Scotts Valley,

experience on the Boulder Creek Parks

and Recreation Board and as a local

businessman are why he has my vote.

Eric and I grew up in SLV with political

parents. I am now a legislative analyst. We

know via experience that SLV, Scotts Valley

and the District face serious challenges

such as balancing economic development

with conservation; adequate funding

for education and social programs to

assist families on the edge; and issues

such drug use among youth (especially

methamphetamine), among other basic

problems such as road infrastructure.

Our rural area has no local government

like cities and municipalities. As a

political analyst, it is clear that we have a

disadvantage, even to Scotts Valley, and

must elect a strong local voice who knows

the whole District, not someone who

suddenly shows up at election time—that’s

what we really need. It’s not enough to have

experience; it’s the kind of experience

that matters.

Crop of Investors?Thanks for the article on organic farmers,

farmland and a strong local food system

(“Plow of Silence,” Sept. 5). Your article

emphasized the important issue of

farmland loss. Is anyone organizing a

community investment fund to purchase

farmland so young farmers will have a

place to grow the vital food we want?

JULIE ESTERLYSanta Cruz

The short answer: There are Community Land Trusts in Santa Cruz County raising money to purchase farmland. There are also groups like Slow Money and Food Commons dedicated to investing in the local food system. — Editor

The New ConservationHow the Cemex land deal represents the future of park land BY AARON CARNES

deputy director, Stephen Slade.

For years, local conservation group

Sempervirens Fund had talked about

creating a “Great Park” in the Santa Cruz

Mountains, one that would connect

Wilder Ranch, Pogonip, Henry Cowell

and Big Basin. It would stretch all the

way up the Pescadero, protecting a vast

mountain range from development and

allowing the public to enjoy as much of

the wild lands as possible.

The $30 million Cemex deal was a

huge step toward their goal, and saw

Sempervirens teaming with not only

the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County,

but also the Nature Conservancy,

Peninsula Open Space Trust and

Save the Redwoods League to form

the Living Landscape Initiative, and

purchased 8,532 acres of undeveloped

land near Davenport from Cemex.

“This was an opportunity that came

along because the economy was in

a slump and the cement company

needed to sell the land,” says Slade. “It’s

the largest undeveloped property in

Santa Cruz County and key connector

between four already protected parks. By

protecting it you create this 27,000-acre

block of undeveloped wild lands. It was a

historic opportunity.”

But the opportunity came out of

necessity, as the state no longer has the

money to purchase and protect new

land.

“Nobody ordered us to stop buying

land or anything like that. The operating

dollars aren’t there. So if the operating

Santa Cruz’s “Great Park” is finally coming together, but not the way most people expected. Instead, the

purchase of 8,532 acres of undeveloped land near Davenport from Cemex, owners of the nearby closed-down cement plant, represents a whole new era of land conservation—one no longer in the hands of the state.

“That model that’s operated for

several generations in California is

broken, and who knows if it will ever

return? I think the expectation within

the conservation community is we need

to come up with a new model. The new

model is what’s being implemented at

Cemex,” says Land Trust of Santa Cruz

SAVING THE FOREST FOR THE TREES The heart of the redwoods in the 8,532 acres of undeveloped land near Davenport purchased by conservationist groups in the Cemex deal.

Currentsdollars aren’t there, the question is,

should we be buying new property? We

don’t have the money,” said Roy Sterns,

deputy director for communications at

the California State Parks.

The State’s parks budget had been

steadily decreasing for about a decade,

but the recession sealed the deal in 2008.

In fact, the park even had to temporarily

close down several existing parks.

Public AccessMany locals are asking what the

Living Landscape Initiative’s plans are

for the Cemex property, specifically

if they will open it to the public.

Representatives from the LLI pledged

to do so at a town hall meeting in

Davenport this summer.

“Public access is fundamental to the

project. It always has been. It’s a piece

we have yet to do, but we’re moving

pretty quickly to that piece,” says Reed

Holderman, executive director of

Sempervirens.

What hasn’t been determined is

what percentage of the 8,532 acres

will be open to the public. Some of the

property will be dedicated to creating

reserves for sensitive species and

some to sustainable timber harvesting.

Already, several rare and sensitive

species have been identified on the

property, including the California

red-legged frog, Peregrine falcons,

steelhead trout, Coho salmon and

potentially the marbled murrelet.

Also, according to Chris Wilmes, a

professor of Environmental Studies

at UCSC, the Cemex property is a very

important component of the local

mountain lion habitat.

It is part of a major breeding area,”

Wilmers says. “We’re not exactly sure

why, but mountain lions need seclusion

to reproduce.”

While conservationists consider it

a major victory, the Cemex acquisition

is part of a greater plan to acquire and

protect 80,000 acres in and around the

Silicon Valley over the next 20 years.

“It feels ambitious and doable at the

same time, in a pretty short timeframe,”

Slade says. 0

She isn’t asking the group of writers

gathered in her studio about her own

impressive jewelry, but about the studio

itself, which she’s renting at the Tannery

Arts Center off Highway 9. “I waited to do

the business until I got the space here,”

she says of the historic hide-tanning

headquarters turned art mecca.

The Santa Cruz County Visitors

Council recently showed journalists

around the Tannery’s second phase,

a series of work studios that opened

earlier this year. (The Tannery’s first

phase, a group of subsidized housing

units, finished in 2009, and a third

phase, a performing arts studio, is in

the fundraising stages.)

Last month’s tour came during

something of a moment in the sun

for the Santa Cruz arts community.

This past summer, the studios were

featured in Interior Design magazine,

a glossy publication based in New

York. The recent “familiarization tour”

showcased the Tannery, and other

notable Santa Cruz spots, to writers

from Yahoo Travel, the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco magazine

and Smart Meetings magazine.

It was one destination on the

successful tour, organized by the CVC’s

Christina Glynn, with stops also at

Hotel Paradox, the Santa Cruz Surfing

Museum, Storrs Winery, the Olive

Connection and Soif.

“These media visits afford us the

opportunity to showcase the best of the

best of Santa Cruz,” says Glynn, “because

ultimately travel writers and consumer

publications are the gatekeepers of

information to the visitor.”

9Briefs

Shore SpotsThe San Lorenzo River levees are

notorious for their beer cans, cigarette

butts and remnants of leftover

encampments. But with the election

approaching and public safety issues

on voters’ minds, the levees have

Santa Cruz City Council candidates

brainstorming about creative ways to

remove these stigmas and shore up the

bastion of natural beauty.

Council candidate ’s

suggestion is levee-facing businesses.

He envisions kiosks between Highway

1 and Soquel Avenue on the river’s

northern side, somewhere between

Trader Joe’s and Office Depot.

Increased traffic, he hopes, would allow

residents to feel comfortable along

the scenic river’s paths and reclaim

the area. “I think it’s a shame we don’t

maximize that resource,” Pleich says.

In terms of new businesses, he’s not

entirely sure how easy it will be to

comply with existing planning codes,

but he wants to try.

Candidate ,

cofounder of Take Back Santa Cruz,

would like to see farm-to-table dinners

on the levee. Nearby farmers and

restaurants could bring fresh produce,

she says, to eager locavores sitting down

for a meal.

“It needs a lot of work,” Comstock

says of the levee. “It’s not a place of

pride for us right now. It’s constantly

filled with debris, and there’s criminal

activity.”

Mayor , who’s running

again for council, says progress has

been made. The city has mowed the

levee grass, painted mile markers

on the paths and installed a disc golf

course in San Lorenzo Park. Police

also increased their patrols this past

summer, he says.

At a recent council forum, Lane even

floated the idea of bringing food trucks

near the levees—an idea he credits to

Vice Mayor , who’s been

working on the plan for over a year.

Hard to imagine people could someday

think of the levee as the best place in

town for a hot dog.

Tannery, Rested and Ready“It’s a pretty amazing project, isn’t it?”

asks artist . 0

“It needs a lot of work,” Comstock says of the levee. “It’s not a place of pride for us right now. It’s constantly filled with debris, and there’s criminal activity.”

These days, doctors aren’t just

writing more prescriptions,

they’re piling them on. In a

2010 study by Dr. Ramin Mojitabai,

doctors were found to prescribe two

or more medicines during a single

office visit 60 percent of the time—a 20

percent increase since 2000.

These prescription cocktails are

especially common in treating mental

issues, since many anti-depression

medicines cause side effects like sleep

disturbances, weight gain, anxiety, and

sexual dysfunction.

But long-term use of multiple

pharmaceuticals has its own

consequences—diabetes, high

cholesterol, increased dosages as

tolerance rises and cognitive decline—

and one reality remains:

“The trouble is, they [anti-

depressants] don’t cure anything,

so when you go off them, you risk

becoming depressed again,” Julia Ross,

M.A., told Vogue last year. Ross is a

psychologist in Mill Valley, and author

of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure.

She also trains practitioners across the

country in using brain-specific amino

acids—the building blocks of those

chemicals that make us feel good—as

a way of restoring neurotransmitter

health.

According to Ross, neurotransmitter

deficiency can be the culprit in a slough

of symptoms, from sugar and alcohol

cravings, to insomnia, chronic pain,

Attention Deficit Disorder, apathy and

even suicidal thoughts.

Forty three-year-old Larry Davis,

a Santa Cruz man who spoke openly

about his depression in this column,

is like many who have tried anti-

depression medications but ultimately

decided they weren’t worth the side

effects. Along with daily heart-pumping

exercise and a healthy diet, he points to

amino acids as a major bullet against

his depression.

It all started when the self-proclaimed

skeptic of non-Western medicine

found himself in the Seabright office of

acupuncturist and licensed herbologist

Cally Haber, who trains under Ross.

After administering Davis’ first-ever

acupuncture session, she had him

fill out a questionnaire that identifies

the symptoms of neurotransmitter

deficiencies.

All signs pointed very strongly

to low levels of serotonin and

catecholemines. She prescribed the

amino acids 5-HTP (a precursor to

no acids to restoreer Ross.

ess11

serotonin) and L-tyrosine.

“I very begrudgingly agreed that

I would go to New Leaf and I would

purchase my amino acid. I woke up

and felt like I was 16 years old again. My

mind was clear, I wasn’t having word-

finding problems like I often do, I was

present, the colors were more vibrant. It

was literally overnight,” said Davis.

Sitting within the soothing green

walls of her office, Haber warns me that

it isn’t always this wonderfully simple

when it comes to amino acids.

“For some people it’s simple and

works great, for other people, they might

be pyroluric, their bodies might not be

able to process zinc or B6,” she says.

But many believe it’s worth a try, and

even in cases of pyroluria, Haber’s found

successful combinations for patients

who are looking for mental stability and

wellbeing.

As vice president of the National

Acupuncture Detox Association (NADA),

Haber has worked at recovery centers

throughout the county, using auricular

protocol, or ear-focused acupuncture,

a method that first became popular

in treating opiate withdrawal in the

70s, before it was found to aid in the

withdrawal from all addictions, as well

as depression.

Serotonin, dopamine, catecholemines

and endorphins are all important

ingredients for mental wellness, and

Ross swears by the importance of a diet

high in proteins, good fats and whole

carbohydrates. Eating breakfast is also

imperative to kick start the brain with

a supply of neurotransmitter-building

amino acids.

For vegetarians and those who are

more severely deficient, reasonably

priced supplements are available at Staff

of Life. Although Haber acknowledges

that antidepressants can save lives, she

hopes to teach people that the health of

their brain is internal.

“The way I work all together is really

educating people to take care about their

own health, and with the aminos, to me,

the idea is getting people comfortable

enough with them that they can self

regulate,” said Haber. 0

The ‘kitchen garden’ phenomenon catches on in Santa Cruz

BY CHRISTINA WATERS, GEORGIA PERRY & STEVE PALOPOLI

The alliance between a restaurant

and its own kitchen garden is one of

those natural culinary agreements

that maximizes a chef’s options and

diner’s satisfaction. Here on our famously well-

cultivated coast, the booming “farm-to-table”

trend not only fuels chefs’ imaginations, but

also helps restaurants and their eco-conscious

patrons to walk the walk of sustainable, local,

organic consumption.

In celebration of Santa Cruz Restaurant Week

2012, we took a closer look at four restaurants

around the area whose chefs are helping to

bring the dining scene into this brave new

hyperlocal world with their own kitchen

gardens. In some cases, their restaurants have

been drawing from the garden for years; others

are constructing their own for the first time.

A full listing of restaurants participating in

Santa Cruz Restaurant Week begins on page 28.

Le Cigare Volant | Santa CruzLast week, Le Cigare Volant chef Ryan

Shelton drew from the restaurant’s bio-

dynamic gardens in San Juan Bautista

to create dish after dazzling dish of

seasonal creativity. Dry-farmed green

and crimson tomatoes, honeydew

melon and shell beans converged

in Shelton’s sparkling salad course.

Grilled corn and squashes adorned a

platter piled high with roasted suckling

pig. And into vast platters of paella,

perfumed by smoked paprika and

local shellfish, came more of the fresh

herbs and vegetables from the chef’s

in-house garden. Even the palate-

refreshing intermezzo contained the

garden’s yellow flame peaches and

basil, saturated with the winemaker’s

sparkling moscato.

Shelton was already a veteran of

the restaurant garden experience by

the time he arrived at Le Cigare Volant

early this year. His time at Mountain

View’s Chez TJ gave him access to the

restaurant’s “back yard” garden.

“It was great to be able to grow lots of

specialty items and edible flowers and

herbs,” says Shelton.

By the time he arrived at the Bonny

Doon Vineyard restaurant on the

Westside of Santa Cruz, the vineyard

estate had its own garden up and

running.

“Having the garden available is great,”

Shelton admits. “It is laid out with

difficult-to-get items, specialty produce,

things that are expensive or tricky to

order like cucumber flowers, onion

blossoms and those little one-inch

baby carrots.”

The other big plus of a proprietary

garden is quality control. “Everything

can be fresh—everything can be

picked at the peak of ripeness.” The

produce can go directly from farm

to kitchen, without making flavor-

eroding stops at distributors, and

then to retail shelves. “For example,

Seascape strawberries, I love these.

They’re perfect,” Shelton gushes. “The

little heart-shaped fruit, the bright

red color and with intense flavor. But

they break down in one or two days,

and no distributor will touch them.”

So Shelton has his favorite Seascape

strawberries grown in the vineyard

garden. Bonny Doon’s vineyard manager

Nicole Walsh is responsible for growing

the vegetables and other items for

Shelton’s menu. And he is grateful for

her sensitivity to his requests. We have a

good proportion of harvest size, targeted

to exactly what I can use.”

Having dedicated harvests gives

the chef peak freshness, exactly the

items he wants to work with, and

“heightened quality.” Shelton gives

our local farmers markets high

marks for top quality tomatoes,

but he’s a believer in the heirloom

varieties and their flavor intensity

produced on the Popelouchum

property (an Ohlone designation for

the land that is now home to Bonny

Doon Vineyards’ 280-acre estate),

thanks to biochar techniques.

“The melons are awesome,

especially the watermelon,” he says.

“Frankly, nine out of 10 watermelons

aren’t worth picking. But ours are

harvested at the peak of ripeness.”

Shelton says he tries to highlight

garden items in at least one dish from

each course on his menu.

“I’m looking forward next to

kabocha squash,” he confides.

“It needs a perfect moment of

ripeness in order to avoid over-

starchiness. The farm is fertilized by

biochar which encourages intense

concentration of micro-flora. The

results—biodynamic, dry-farmed,

certified organic—have great depth of

flavor,” he believes.

Santa Cruz diners look for quality

and creativity, Shelton contends.

“They like the craft.” Access to his

own garden, one he directs and

designs as the seasons change, lets

the chef “keep everything developing”

on his menu, which now includes a

perfected gluten-free flatbread pizza.

The garden’s harvests lend his dishes

an extra vitality, a “departure from the

everyday.” —Christina Waters

Oak Tree Ristorante | FeltonHis breakfast dishes are largely

sourced from eggs Nobile’s own hens

lay on his property in Ben Lomond.

When he can’t get an ingredient

from the gardens at his home or at

the restaurant, Nobile turns to the

local Felton farmers’ market for

produce. The seasonal menu at Oak

Tree focuses on using ingredients at

the peak of their yearly ripeness and

abundance, including fish, which he

also sources locally in the Bay Area.

The open layout of Oak Tree allows

guests of the rustic, wood-heavy

dining room to view Nobile at work

in the kitchen while they’re enjoying

their meals.

Nobile spent a significant amount

of time preparing the wooded area for

productive gardening, ensuring an even

better crop in the years to come. His

olive trees are housed in an impressive

enclosure made with cedar and wire,

ensuring protection from any local

wildlife that may have an appetite. All

of this he has done himself with help

from his staff. The landscaping around

the property is his, too. “Professional

landscapers don’t take care the same

way,” he says simply. —Georgia Perry

The Oak Tree Ristorante in Felton is

nestled in tall Redwood trees that are

over 1,000 years old. Growing next to

them are fruit trees just starting their

lives, planted only a couple of years ago

by owner and chef Sebastian Nobile.

Nobile opened the restaurant three

years ago, and within a year began

planting the fruit trees and making

garden beds for herbs, berries and

artichokes. His olive trees were just

planted this year, meaning the little

khaki-colored orbs will be populating

Oak Tree’s menu within a couple

more years.

Originally from Uruguay, Nobile

wears a floppy red chef’s hat in the

kitchen, along with plaid shorts and

flip-flops: the ultimate laid-back

chef. He chats animatedly in Italian

with his co-workers while grilling

tomatoes and squash. Raised by

his Italian grandfather, he grew

up helping his grandfather in the

kitchen and seeing him cook for the

family every day.

Nobile is proud of the four boxes of

fruit his apple and pear trees yielded on

a recent harvest. He’s been using them

in dessert pies, salads and breakfast

dishes. He also grows peaches, cherries,

persimmon and guava.

according to national organic

standards. Lee also composts and

takes care of the chickens that

provide the fresh eggs Caloni uses in

the kitchen.

“She knows how to rotate crops and

which vegetables work best in our

soil,” says Pesta.

Carloni often starts his menu

planning with a simple walk

through the garden. What he sees

in the imminent harvest can be a

starting point from which he jumps

off in creating his dishes. Everyone

involved takes pride in the fact that

the restaurant’s approach to “Italian

countryside cuisine” puts extra

emphasis on the countryside, with

anything they don’t grow in the

garden sourced from local, organic

farms. Their fish is from local,

sustainable catches, and their meats

pasture-raised.

Lee works with Carloni to decide

what to plant, and helps integrate the

weekly harvest.

“I’ve been gardening at Main

St. now for two and a half years,”

says Lee, “and every year we learn

something new, and try new things

and get better at timing crops so

that the kitchen isn’t empty or

overwhelmed.”

—Steve Palopoli

The Bay Area culinary scene is

known for its dedication to local and

organic sourcing, but sometimes

NorCal foodies can get a little

delusional in thinking it all started

with Alice Waters.

In fact, Main St. Garden’s executive

chef Chris Caloni had to go to Italy to

get an old-school vision of regional

eating. There, of course, what people

eat has been defined by where they live

for centuries. After seeing what Italian

chefs were doing with fresh, local

ingredients, Caloni wanted to bring the

same approach to Santa Cruz.

He found the ideal spot to do this at

Main Street, thanks to the restaurant’s

impressive on-site garden. It was

crafted by local farmer Alice Lee,

who designed everything from the

dimensions of the beds to the layout

to the water-timing system.

“This garden wouldn’t exist without

her,” says Tara Pesta, who with her

managing partner Mauro Zanella

took over Main Street Garden from

Evan Borthwick in May. Borthwick

had bought the restaurant in 2009,

when it was Theo’s.

Lee continues to maintain the

garden, and its supply of fresh

produce to the kitchen. She uses

sustainable practices whenever

possible, and the produce is grown

more than 1 in 20 kitchens. He also

makes a point to get all his fish,

meat and produce from within

a 100-mile radius, and keep the

ingredients seasonal. When it comes

to sustainable fish, he calls having

the Bay so close “the most ridiculous

advantage ever.”

Lechtenberg is currently in the

process of constructing an on-site

garden, from which he expects to

be sourcing produce as early as this

spring.

In addition to herbs such as Thai

basil and chives, Lechtenberg is

especially excited about growing a

variety of heirloom beets, heirloom

tomatoes, sweet potatoes, greens

and a variety of chiles—including

jalapeños that can be made into a

house chipotle.

Above all, Lechtenberg

understands that Hollins House

is a special place, and guests are

usually there celebrating something.

He anticipates the fresh produce

from the garden will only add to the

specialness of the restaurant.

“Money is not easy to come

by. I always ask my staff, ‘Is that

something you’d serve to your kids

on their birthday?’ If the answer’s no,

then it should not go out.”

—Georgia Perry

When I arrive at Hollins House

to meet John Paul Lechtenberg, the

25-year-old executive chef emerges

from the kitchen wearing a spotless

white chef jacket and a pencil tucked

behind his ear. He has a no-nonsense

buzz haircut and a round face. I’m

there to talk about his kitchen, but the

first thing he wants to do is get away

from it for a bit.

We hop on a golf cart and head

to the top of the hill on curvy

roads outlined by big houses with

impeccably landscaped yards. From

the top of the Pasatiempo golf course,

the view of the boardwalk in the

distance reminds him that there’s life

outside the kitchen.

His ability to keep things in

perspective is perhaps why he doesn’t

operate like the chefs you see on TV.

There’s no yelling or throwing things,

and no drinking or smoking.

“Have you seen the movie Waiting?”

the Santa Cruz native asks me. “It’s not

like that.”

At Hollins House he is

experimenting with molecular

gastronomy, grass-fed beef, and

deconstructing food:

“The ingredient should taste like

what it is,” he says.

He composts and recycles,

practices he says aren’t followed in

5 Tips for TippersA former waitress offers a few easy ways for diners to help staff help them

Food brings people together.

This is particularly true when

you’re dining knee-to-knee

in a restaurant at peak capacity on

a Saturday night. And nothing tears

diners and staff apart quite like a

botched entrée or—gasp!—a split check.

My mother is a chef and, in addition

to growing up in a kitchen, I’ve been

waiting tables for eight years. I also

love dining out and do so as often as

I can. I’ve experienced my fair share

of horror stories as both server and

served. Most of the time these mishaps

are the results of miscommunication

or simple misconceptions.

In the hope of preventing a new

generation of disgruntled Yelpers,

I’ve compiled a list of tips for diners

that could help make the lives of both

sides easier. Are there exceptions to

these rules? You bet. Is this a complete

list? Absolutely not. This is just one

restaurant lover attempting to make

the world a better place.

1. It’s okay if you don’t like your

meal, but tell the server right

away. Maybe you asked for

medium rare, and your ribeye came

charred. Maybe you thought you

liked eggplant parmesan up until the

moment when you realized you didn’t.

Either way, the restaurant wants you

to enjoy your time there, and it doesn’t

do anybody any good for you to pick

unhappily at your food.

2. For some reason, “I’m good”

and ambiguous answers

like it have become popular

responses to the server inquiry, “Can I

take that away for you?” Are you “good”

as in finished? Or “good” as in still

happy to hold on to your plate? Keep it

simple and straightforward, or expect a

blank look of confusion.

3. When I waited tables I always

found it very helpful if, after

I dropped off a check, the

guests would leave the bill some place

I could easily reach without disturbing

them, with their credit card or cash

poking out a bit. That way I didn’t have

to stalk them while wondering if they

were ready for me to ring up their bill.

4. Splitting a check three ways

is pretty much the max

a server can do without

busting out the calculator. Anything

larger than that and you do the math.

Better yet, have one guest pick up the

check and figure out who owes who

what the next day, when you haven’t

just had a couple glasses of wine.

5. If your meal is blundered, try

to consider if it was actually

your server’s fault. If they

were attentive, but you fell prey to long

kitchen times or a sloppy bartender,

make an effort to direct your complaint

to a manager and don’t take it out of

your server’s tip.

When Rachel Neumann says “skeptic,” she means skeptic.

“Reverence is difficult for me,” admits the author of Not Quite Nirvana: A Skeptic’s Journey to Mindfulness, who will speak at Bookshop Santa Cruz Oct. 11.

So it was not with reverence that she approached working as an editor for famed Vietnamese Buddhist spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh a decade ago. But with a solid background in journalism and the corresponding curiosity that usually accompanies it, she did have an open mind and an eagerness to uncover whatever insights were locked away in his experience.

But she was also a somewhat jaded New Yorker, with kids and a fast-paced life and career. She could sense that Thich Nhat Hanh did indeed possess the mindfulness—the “there-ness,” as she calls it in the book—that she longed for, but her earliest experiences trying to put what she learned from him into practice in her daily life were a disaster. She was trying too hard to reach that fabled perfect state that Americans usually think of, to quote The Big Lebowski, as “some kind of Eastern thing.”

That’s when she came up with the idea of “not quite nirvana.”

“The trick,” she says by telephone from her current home in the East Bay, “is not trying to get to that perfect place.”

TROUBLE IN MINDFULNESS Rachel Neumann talks about her book ‘Not Quite Nirvana’ at Bookshop Santa Cruz Oct. 11.

Off The Road to NirvanaRachel Neumann’s book on mindfulness for skeptics has a different goal BY STEVE PALOPOLI

Bookshop Santa Cruz, Oct. 11

And ironically, it’s even more difficult now that she lives in the Bay Area—as opposed to New York, where nobody is expecting enlightenment, anyway.

“Living in the Bay Area, there’s so many lovely things around, I think you can be fooled into thinking that nirvana can actually happen.”

The book charts her learning curve, relating her highs and lows on her own personal path to semi-enlightenment, and many of the hard lessons on the way. Throughout, she considers the questions we can all ask about how present we are really being in our everyday lives. It’s a smart, relatable repackaging for our times of a very old idea: mindfulness is not a destination, it’s a journey.

“I had no interest in mindfulness when I started this job, which I think is funny in itself,” she says. “I’d never been interested in personal serenity. I thought it had very little to do with me.”

Now, of course, she does. But the reverence thing—that’s been harder to come around to.

“I’m getting there,” she says. “I guess I’m a slow learner.”

WAYNE KRANTZA frequent collaborator with artists as prominent as Steely Dan and Billy Cobham, Wayne Krantz’s unique jazz fusion guitar sound has earned the musician his stripes. Since 1986, Krantz has built an impressive solo career on a foundation of nine feature-length albums and a long list of soulful duets. His move towards a “louder thing” in 2007 marked a departure from his standing Thursday night dates with New York City’s 55 Bar to play larger stages and bigger amps, but the shift has paid off handsomely for Krantz, his trusted drummer Keith Carlock and the grooving bass lines of Tim Lefebvre. Kuumbwa; $22 adv/$25 door; 7pm. (Janelle Gleason)

CONOR OBERST One of a long line of indie-rockers to be lulled by the siren song of Townes Van Zandt and Gram Parsons, Conor Oberst has been a true

ramblin’ man of late. I can’t imagine what stylistic restrictions he felt like he had to rebel against in Bright Eyes, the project that made him famous. But rebel he has, in a way, getting looser and downright laid-back in projects like the supergroup Monsters of Folk and especially with his own Mystic Valley Band. The guy’s always been a genius songwriter, but his delivery has improved steadily over the years, from unbearable (on that first record, at least) to divisive to…er, a lot less divisive. Maybe he doesn’t have the kind of voice or style that’s ever going to appeal to everyone, but hey, neither does Neil Young. Don Quixote’s; $35, 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)

THE INCITERSEleven members strong, The Inciters have a sound as sweet as the northern soul born in the 1960s, long before their time. Over the course of a 16-year run and through a breakup, revival and new members, the sunny tunes have enchanted Santa Cruz locals as the band and its fanbase continue to grow. The Inciters have played their way through Europe surviving from show to show between hostels and remained a staple of their hometown scene by staying true to their roots—and creating music that recalls the soul and sound of simpler times.

The five-piece is keen on the playful and unpredictable, utilizing their improvisational skills to craft songs filled with possibility, harmony, charm and romance. Tea Leaf Green’s knack for experimentation places them among

the ranks of contemporaries My Morning Jacket and the Strokes but their refined talent makes it easy for the college friends to uncover their own pop gems. Tonight sees the quintet showcasing Radio Tragedy, their latest effort, written as “something loud, something bright, something to scare your kids goodnight.” Moe’s Alley; $17 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (JG)

TIME SPENT DRIVINGAn indie/emo band from the days when emo was still a fringe style, Time Spent Driving is one of Santa Cruz’s more well-established musical exports. Deeply rooted in punk, the band stretched its musical horizons and started writing layered and textured songs balancing driving, edgy breakdowns and broken-hearted hooks that tiptoe into pop territory. Established in 1999, the band went on hiatus in 2003 and broke up in 2005, but they’ve reformed and are playing a handful of select shows. Featuring both familiar and fresh faces, the band is introducing new material as well as revisiting the old favorites. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm.(Cat Johnson)

THE HEAD AND THE HEARTBoasting a musical maturity that belies the age of its members, the Head and the Heart burst onto the indie/roots/pop scene in 2009 with a self-released album that quickly became a bestseller in the band’s hometown of Seattle. Scooped up by the record label SubPop, the band was thrown into the national spotlight where it has garnered high praise and prophecies of being the next great American band. Blending tight harmonies, foot-tapping rhythms, catchy hooks and a violin- and harmony-driven sound, the Head and the Heart brings a welcome change to the indie landscape and a nice little nudge to the boundaries of American roots music.

NO SUCH THING SEE FOR YOURSELF

3623-12

NewTHE EXORCIST (1973) If you think the latest wave of demon movies is crazy, you should see this piece of cinematic insanity, which in its time had believers and even probably a lot of non-believers praying to Jeebus that their children

didn’t get possessed and start projectile-vomiting pea soup (although, to be fair, it would have matched the drapes in a lot of ’70s living rooms). (Plays Thu at Scotts Valley)FRANKENWEENIE (PG; 87 min.) In a bit of a career slump of late, Tim Burton expands his early

short about a re-animated dog (which basically got him fired from Disney) into a full-length animated feature. (Opens Fri at 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) David Lean’s epic is not just

for obsessive Ridley Scott androids anymore! Peter O’Toole gives the performance of his career as the British officer who aids the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. (Plays Wed Oct. 3 at Cinema 9)

LIBERAL ARTS (NR; 97 min.) Thirty-five-year-old Jesse returns to his

alma mater for his former professor’s retirement party and ultimately falls for a 19-year-old college student. (Opens Fri at the Nick)THE ORANGES (R; 90 min.) After a five-year absence, Nina Ostroff goes home for the holidays and begins an affair with her parents’ neighbor and

best friend (Hugh Laurie). (Opens Fri at the Nick)THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (PG-13; 103 min.) I know, I know, it must be a short film. Ha ha. But apparently there are perks to be found in this story of two seniors who take an introverted freshman under their wing. (Opens Fri at Del Mar)PITCH PERFECT (PG-13; 112 min.) When college freshman Becca joins her university’s a capella group in this Glee-like musical comedy, she injects some much-needed competitive spirit into the group. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

SpecialsPULP FICTION (1994) It’s no coincidence that Green Day broke punk rock into the mainstream the same year this film came out. With Pulp Fiction, Tarantino did the same thing for movies, turning indies into mainstream flicks and effectively ending the cult era in which talented upstart filmmakers could go unnoticed (just as Green Day got the hype machine going for every halfway decent pop-punk band.) If you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction in a while, it’s worth another look—it’s better than the inevitable Tarantino backlash (which strongly affected the general view of Jackie Brown) would have you remember. (Plays Fri-Sat at midnight at the Del Mar)TAKEN 2 (PG-13; 91 min.) Boy, if there’s anything more embarrassing than having your friends and family taken once, it’s gotta be having them taken again. This time, Liam Neeson has to find a couple who are taken due to fallout from his last rescue mission. This guy has worse luck than Jack Bauer. (Opens Fri at 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

ReviewsARBITRAGE (R; 108 min.) Richard Gere in the type of stylish, high-concept thriller they don’t make anymore—as in, the kind that makes you think. Gere plays a hedge fund magnate who gets himself in a lot of trouble,

and has to consider what he’s willing to do to get out of it. BACHELORETTE (R; 87 min.) Director-writer Leslye Headland jumps on the Hangover/Bridesmaids bandwagon with a seemingly darker comedy about Kirsten Dunst and some fellow bridemaids (who used to call the bride “pig face”) wreaking havoc. BELOVED (NR; 139 min.) French musical follows the soap-operaish stories of a mother and daughter across half a century, as played by real-life mother and daughter Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni. DREDD 3D (R; 95 min.) Judge Dredd has been around in British comics for 35 years now, and—that awful Sly Stallone movie notwithstanding—the character would seem to be a natural for the big screen, falling in somewhere between Robocop and Dirty Harry. This new take on his story, which once again has him playing cop, judge and jury (and sometimes executioner) in a future dystopia, is getting early positive reviews from fans in the UK, where it’s already been released. END OF WATCH (R; 109 min.) It’s end of watch for those who wondered what writer-director David Ayer has been up to after a rather lengthy break between projects. Having written two of the best bad-cop movies in memory (Training Day and Dark Blue), he’s gone with a couple of likable recruits this time, in the form of Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena (but then, could anyone make Jake Gyllenhaal unlikable?) Thanks to a routine traffic stop, they get on the bad side of some druglords. THE EXPENDABLES 2 (R; 102 min.) Revenge is a dish best served old as aging action stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris (among others) deliver some punches and explosions to honor the memory of a comrade brutally murdered. FINDING NEMO 3-D (G; 100 min.) Will he be easier or harder to find in 3-D? Hopefully not harder, because Albert Brooks’ nerves are shot as it is. HOPE SPRINGS (PG-
