One political debate down. A few more to go. With less than a month to go until Election Day 2012, the political season just continues to heat up. So, who better to offer more perspective, as biting as it is, than Bill Maher? The comedian/author and Emmy-nominated host of HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher descends upon Santa Cruz in what promises to be a wild night at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on Sunday, Oct. 21. Maher is our cover boy this week and in our GT interview with the comic, he waxes political about President Barack Obama, GOP frontman Mitt Romney, legalizing marijuana and oh so much more. But the man also opens up about some of his earlier influences and reveals the curious emotional and mental tightrope most comics walk. Dive into the journey on page 12. Speaking of politically charged issues, there comes some bright news on the Breast Density Notification Bill, which recently passed in California. The bill, designed to improve breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue, was inspired by Santa Cruz resident Amy Colton. Visit gtweekly.com to read past articles about the topic by News Editor Elizabeth Limbach. And, in case you aren’t already aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Also in News, if you’ve been following our stories and blogs on the 180/180 campaign, an effort that is striving to house 180 of “the most vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals by July 2014,” you will want to read our report this week about one of the first people to be housed by the program. There’s plenty more in between all these pages, so enjoy. But as we move deeper into the fall season, and toward the end of the year—did you spot those Christmas trees at Costco?—it’s fitting, perhaps, to reflect upon all the change that may have transpired for you—and in the community—in 2012. What moments stood out the most? And, more importantly, what have you learned from them? Some things to ponder in the weeks ahead. Onward ...

Regarding “Desal and You” (GT 9/20), water is an important factor of how many people can live harmoniously on the planet. Desal is used to create cities, like Dubai. So, it is a fallacy that desal is needed now because of droughts we have many times endured. This is a county-wide issue, and I believe that the city will steer us in the right [direction]. The alternatives are exciting, and need more consideration and study. They are better for the environment and economy, and will create many jobs. Not building the desal [plant] will make us face [the] reality that needs are finite. Bill Smallman Santa Cruz

Downloading The Desal 411 In response to “Desal and You,” 25 percent of the city's $160 million yearly budget comes from utility taxes mostly and fees, same as comes from both property taxes and sales taxes. Imagine how much more will be coming from utility taxes once the one time $40 million, but now around $180 million (including financing costs), desal plant is being paid off through our utility bills and charges. Yet, does anybody really think there can possibly be enough new revenue generated to continue on paying all of a 59,000 resident city's current and future numerous six-figured salaried, planned, pensioned, and perked civil servants? Douglas Deitch Santa Cruz

Fifth District Response I was surprised to read Barbara Sprenger’s unfounded letter, “The FLOWdown” printed in the Oct. 4 Good Times in which she incorrectly states that then Sen. Bruce McPherson wouldn’t meet with her about Friends of Locally Owned Water’s effort to purchase the Felton water system. First of all, consider that Sprenger is a leader in

Hammer’s campaign. Second, McPherson told me he never remembers Sprenger trying to talk with him. Also, McPherson told me he asked his former “chief aide” if he ever recalled talking to Sprenger about the issue, and he said no. Third, the FLOW decision was finalized in 2008, four years after McPherson has been termed out of the California Senate. And fourth, anyone who was here when McPherson was in the Senate and Assembly knows he was one of the most attentive legislators we’ve ever had in listening to us and discussing our needs—ask educators, fire and sheriff officials, environmental leaders, etc. That’s why he was always at the top of the list in the California Journal’s rankings in “integrity” and “hard working.” Bert Bly Santa Cruz

Should we continue to use the Electoral College? by Matthew Cole Scott

I think the Electoral College is in place for a really good reason, which is, if you look at how many uninformed voters there are, you can be swayed, especially the way the media is set up today, I think that it's a really good control mechanism to make sure that the majority of the people’s votes are counted correctly, and that it's a fair and honest system that’s had over 200 years of proven success. Mark Andrews Santa Cruz | V.P. Business Development/Software

I think the Electoral College is outdated, when the elections come down to single states like Ohio which could determine the outcome of the election. I think one man one vote would be more appropriate and much more representative of true democracy. Linda Lou Santa Cruz | Physician

Absolutely not. The Electoral College doesn't properly represent the full population. Dave Kumec Santa Cruz | Ice Cream Maker

No. I don’t think it's fair. Elections are stolen by the Electoral College. The voters don’t have the final say and elections are stolen by crooked politicians like Bush and Cheney. Blue Jones Santa Cruz | Artist

It doesn’t seem like it really represents what people want, especially considering that a president can win the electoral vote and not win the popular vote. And the popular vote seems more accurate.

Great To Be Back An introduction from the new guy | BY JEFF MITCHELL fter spending the last four and a half years as the publisher for three community weeklies in San Diego, it feels great to be back in Santa Cruz. I always felt a special vibe and energy when working in the Santa Cruz area. And to now also call it my home takes it to another level. My attachment with Santa Cruz began many years ago. From elementary through high school, I spent many days with my great aunt and uncle in their beautiful Victorian on the corner of Windham and Caledonia streets, as my family would escape the burning inferno of the Central Valley in summertime. Walking down to the corner grocery store as a small boy with 10 cents in my pocket to pick and choose from the assorted array of penny candies, going to the Boardwalk, and the smell of homemade biscuits, boysenberry pie, and chicken and dumplings are all fond memories of those times spent in Santa Cruz. In 1977, my new bride (to whom I am still married) and I decided it was time to finally depart Fresno and start a new chapter of our lives in Pacific Grove. We raised our two children there, developed many friendships and became part of the fabric that made up the

community. One of my very first jobs on the peninsula was with a group of community newspapers. Being a part of those papers taught me the responsibility of being a leader in the communities we served. Having spent a majority of my life living and working in media in the Monterey Bay area, I have followed Good Times and respected what it has contributed to the Santa Cruz lifestyle. The fact that my birthday is also the anniversary of Good Times’ creation gives me even more of a connection. We both have had a long history, but our best is yet to come. As we move ahead, Good Times will continue to be Santa Cruz County’s premier guide to entertainment and events, while providing a fresh perspective on current local issues that reflect the voice, character and spirit of our community. We will also explore new ideas and features that further enhance our leadership role. I look forward to your comments and suggestions on the job we’re doing and where we can improve.

Pulling Together BY KELLYANN KELSO Along with the recession’s worst impacts—ballooning unemployment and rampant foreclosures, to name but two—the option of going on vacation disappeared from many people’s summer plans. Santa Cruz began feeling the impact of this by 2009, when visitation dipped below Santa Cruz’s economic comfort zone and the persevering visitors spent less time and less money in the county. According to Smith Travel Research, annual hotel occupancy decreased from 55.6 percent in 2008 to 48.8 percent in 2009. “2007 was big—the bubble was going to burst eventually,” Mark Gilbert remarks. Gilbert owns Dolphin Restaurant, Woodies Cafe, and Gilbert’s Firefish Grill on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. “[Restaurant] sales dropped … about 20 percent in 2008,” Gilbert says, explaining that the next couple of years were “flat.” According to the Santa Cruz County Conference and Visitors Council [CVC], more than 80 percent of visitors to Santa Cruz in 2009 were Californians, mostly from Northern California. And while Santa Cruz County was the main destination for those visitors, most would stay for the day and drive home without staying overnight. In light of this, the CVC, which was formed in 1988 to unify and advance the county’s tourism efforts, brought out its tool kit. “Our goal has been to increase [overnight] stays in the off-season months,” says Maggie Ivy, CEO and executive director of the CVC. To put Santa Cruz on the map as a getaway destination, the CVC leveraged its cooperative contracts with local businesses to attract the attention of travel agencies, magazines, freelance journalists, and Hollywood—garnering Santa Cruz dozens of spots on international media outlets within a few years. Chris Ferrante, owner of Beach Street Inn, says the CVC has been an invaluable marketing force, especially in helping to

OUT OF THE COLD Peter Cook, pictured here in his new home on Portola Drive, was one of the first homeless people to receive housing with help from the 180/180 project.

A Place To Call Home A glimpse at what life is like after being housed by the 180/180 campaign BY JOEL HERSCH When Peter Cook wakes up in his new bed, with a roof over his head, he says it takes him a moment to realize where he is. And then, for another moment, he questions whether he's even supposed to be there. Sitting at his kitchen table, Cook surveys his living quarters with wide-eyed amazement. The space is mostly unfurnished—in the living room there is a dresser, an unplugged television on the floor and a Yamaha keyboard, one of the few possession he brought with him. But the modest abode is a huge improvement over his prior situation. Cook was homeless in Santa Cruz County for three years, living out his car for the first two and then, after losing the car, braving the outdoors. On July 26, the 51-year-old combat veteran moved into a small mobile home on Portola Drive, becoming one of the first in a group of about 10 homeless people to obtain housing with the help of the 180/180 campaign. The campaign, a local initiative to permanently house 180 of the most vulnerable homeless people in Santa Cruz County by July 2014, contacted Cook during their registration week in May and, based on a survey, identified him as one of the most vulnerable, at-risk-ofdeath individuals living on the streets, says Phil Kramer, the project director for the campaign.

Cook's housing was paid for with a Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) voucher, while most of the others—non-veterans—were housed with the help of Section 8 housing vouchers. Part of the 180/180 campaign’s role is to help its homeless clients access these vouchers and other benefits that will help them afford housing, Kramer says. While the campaign does not pay for the housing itself, it does purchase “move-in kits” for participants that include household items like pots and pans, silverware and a dresser. The campaign raised $24,000 in May to cover the cost of these kits. Although the long-term results of the 180/180 program are yet to be seen, the impacts on the lives of the few who have already been housed are manifesting in positive ways. For his part, Cook says that moving into the home has completely turned his life around. Most notably, he says his health has improved dramatically. The biggest changes, he says, have been being warm at night, having access to clean water and getting to cook for himself. After three years of not being able to prepare proper meals, Cook says he has especially enjoyed making hot potatoes with cooked vegetables and butter. He has also taken pleasure in being able to plug in his radio, and no longer page 9 having to worry about stocking it with batteries.

UC Santa Cruz's own Joshua Stuart, an associate professor of biomolecular engineering, has landed on a new "Dream Team" of cancer researchers bent on finding personalized treatments for prostate cancer. The team is funded by a $10 million, three-year grant via Stand Up To Cancer, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the American Association for Cancer Research, and aims to help curb the fatal effects of prostate cancer, which is currently the second most common cause of cancer death among American men. The project kicks off later this fall.

Municipal Wharf, attests that business with both tourists and locals has picked up post-recession.

TOURISM CONT. FROM P.7 increase fall occupancy rates. Santa Cruz has seen a 10.6 percent increase in hotel occupancy since the start of 2012, compared to a 3.6 percent increase across the state and a 5.6 percent increase in Monterey, according to the CVC. “This September, we’ve seen an occupancy increase of about [25 percent] over last September—where a lot of that is mid-week occupancy,” Ferrante says. “And that’s directly attributed to the CVC.” Interestingly, roughly 25 percent of those midweek September stays were international visitors— most often from the United Kingdom, Ferrante says. “We’re very careful about getting the market in the U.K.,” Ivy says, adding that the U.K. now accounts for more than half of Santa Cruz’s international visitation. “They really love surfing culture, [and] there is no language barrier.” But fall isn’t entirely dependent on the international market. “We’re really starting to click with the locals this year,” Gilbert explains on a recent chilly fall afternoon. “We’re supposed to expect it to be flat [right now], but we have a full dining room.” Kris Reyes, spokesperson for the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which he says has enjoyed “a very strong 2012,” says the Boardwalk is also working to increase fall and winter visitation. In addition to the popular Clam Chowder CookOff, he notes that the Boardwalk has added an October Chili Cook-Off, a band review, and a cheer competition to its line-up in recent years. Bonnie Lipscomb, the city’s director of economic development, says she feels encouraged by the sturdy up tick in numbers. “Although it’s slow, improvement is happening,” Lipscomb says. According to the CVC’s 2009 visitor report, the main (and, largely, only) visitor complaint about Santa Cruz was the traffic. An old-fashioned trolley purchased by the Redevelopment Agency (which was absolved, along with all California RDAs, and is

superseded by the Economic Development Department) premiered in 2010 to ferry riders between downtown and the Boardwalk during the summer months. Lipscomb estimated that the quaint trolley car would have had 35,000 riders in 2012. “[A lot of visitors] didn’t know where our downtown was, and the trolley takes all of that [confusion] away,” she says. The latest big-ticket project in the city has been the premiere of Hotel Paradox, which had its grand opening party on Sept. 22. “That is huge,” says Lipscomb. “It’s a dramatic improvement for the area.” Tony Eichers, general manager at Hotel Paradox, says while he can vouch for the strong U.K. presence, he is also encouraged by the bookings from California visitors. “It’s amazing how many people come for the day, but then wind up having such a great time … they’ll say ‘let’s spend the night,’” Eichers says, adding that he estimates that walk-in bookings account for “about 10 percent of people.” Going into the fall shoulder season, Paradox will take the tried-and-true route of offering special rates through online travel agencies such as Expedia, Travelocity, and Priceline. But because the hotel offers a fully equipped conference space, “Already we have the Oracles of the world, the Ciscos, [and] the Googles coming over the hill,” Eichers says. In addition to Gilbert’s new restaurant plans, several hotel renovation and expansion plans are under way around town, according to Lipscomb, and the Boardwalk will be unveiling a new roller coaster in summer 2013, according to Reyes. Together, these give cause to suspect an even stronger tourism showing for 2013.

He takes pride in his clean, uncluttered home. In his bedroom, there is a single bed, a fishing pole leaning in one corner and several paperback novels scattered on the floor. Since moving in, Cook has relished the opportunity to read—another small luxury he couldn't partake in while homeless because he didn't have reading glasses. “Sometimes I can't believe it,” Cook says. “I wake up and I think, 'What is going on?' Because it's been so long [since I’ve had a home].” But the transition from homeless to housed hasn't been as easy as one might think, he says. Despite having a bed of his own, on several occasions he has felt more comfortable sleeping on the floor. Prior to July 26, Cook spent most of his nights sleeping near the Summit in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where he managed to avoid authorities by covering his tracks—throwing away his trash, not having fires and brushing over his trails. “I'm good at hiding,” he says. “They taught me that in the military.” Cook was a paratrooper in the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and served in Grenada and throughout Central America in a series of “police action” conflicts during the 1980s. He has a sad, distant look on his face when he thinks about the violence and prefers not to talk about it. He says that explosions during his military service caused his hearing to deteriorate, leading to his current habit of watching people's mouths when they speak to better understand what they are saying. “I was partially deaf and partially blind, and living lost,” he says of his homeless years. “Now that's scary.” Mike Kittredge, the daytime essential services program manager for the Homeless Services Center, which is in partnership with and funds the 180/180 campaign, says he got to know Cook at the Veterans Center on Emeline Avenue during registry week. Kittredge noticed then that Cook's health was declining rapidly. Cook says he suffered several bouts of bronchitis in the months before he moved into the home on Portola Drive, all while living with pain from a number of injuries, including a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left leg and a torn meniscus in his right from accidents long ago. He also faces lingering effects from being hit by a forklift while working in construction in 2009, when he broke both his wrists, herniated discs in his neck and damaged internal organs. While Cook's health has improved since he moved into his house, he was rushed to the hospital last month for what turned out to be a heart condition that causes seizures. Although Cook has had access to healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.), he says that being homeless made traveling to see a doctor incredibly difficult. He adds that he is struggling to access his V.A. pension benefits, and that Veterans Advocate Dean Kaufman at the Veterans Center on Emeline Avenue is helping him with that. Kramer, who says the recent move-ins are a great start to the program, explains that 180/180’s role at the housing stage is to track the selected 180 homeless and also move up their priority level for housing vouchers. In Cook’s case, the campaign shared his information with the V.A. and made sure he accessed his benefits. A caseworker from the V.A. checks in with him regularly, as do both Kramer and Kittredge, according to Cook. Kramer says he hopes that 180/180 can change more than just the lives of homeless people in Santa Cruz County. The campaign aims to create a system where most of the service providers, agencies and organizations in the county work together to help the homeless. “It's about making sure people who need help aren't falling through the cracks,” Kramer says. One example of that effort is the Housing Work Group, a meeting for service providers throughout the county that assembles weekly to share information and review the 180/180 campaign's list of “high-priority” homeless clients.

N NEWS HOUSED CONT. FROM P.9 Among those attending Housing Work Group meetings are representatives from SC4, Front Street Housing and the Homeless Persons Health Project, says Kramer. “This is a group of people that has never sat around a table in this setting before,” he says. “And what's happening is we're able to coordinate way better.” Back in his living room, Cook's demeanor is that of a man who can appreciate life again. He explains that it’s common for homeless veterans to not seek out the help they need, and that they often need a boost—like the one he’s gotten—from someone else. Not too long ago, Cook feared that he was going down the same path as his close friend

John, another homeless veteran who he says died of exposure to the cold in February. One of the first things Cook says he noticed after spending the night in his new bed was that he didn't wake up shivering from the cold. He still wakes up with first light, but in the shelter of his new home, the morning dew doesn't suck the warmth from his body. Not having to worry about wild animals is another welcome change. Cook says that packs of coyotes were a big problem while sleeping on the Summit, and that they even attacked a friend of his once. He looks out his window, a cup of coffee in his hands, and notes that there have been zero coyote incidents in his new home.

BY ELIZABETH LIMBACH As Gov. Jerry Brown’s Sept. 30 bill-signing deadline drew to a close, he finished signing or vetoing nearly 700 bills that had stacked up on his desk in hopes of becoming laws. One of the lucky winners was AB 2109, a bill that was introduced by Assemblymember Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) in February, and passed the California Senate 22 to 14 and assembly 59 to 21 in August. The legislation, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2014, will require that parents who choose to opt out of immunizing their children will have to consult with a licensed healthcare professional. Proponents argued that the bill was a straightforward attempt to ensure that parents make educated decisions, while many opponents decried the bill as an infringement on parental rights. Actor Rob Schneider, who was among the bill’s most vocal opponents, echoed this concern in media appearances he made to encourage Gov. Brown to veto the legislation. "This is a parental rights issue," Schneider told The Sacramento Bee. "There shouldn't be government coercion to force parents to jump another hoop to have to make decisions on ... what's the best interest of their child.” Assemblymember Bill Monning, who represents Santa Cruz and is chair of the Assembly Committee on Health, looks back at AB 2109 as “very controversial.” “There has been a fair amount of misinformation,” he told GT over the summer. “It preserves a family’s right to refuse vaccines as a condition of attending public schools, but it does require that if they want to exercise that right they will go to certain designated health providers. And all the family has to do is meet with that practitioner and let that practitioner explain potential risks to their child and potential risks to their community if they refuse vaccination.” Santa Cruz, Monterey and Marin counties were the most heard-from

regions throughout the AB 2109 hearings, according to Monning. Our county’s interest is not surprising considering its low immunization rate. Eighty-three percent of kindergartners and 81 percent of childcare center entrants in the county had received all of their required immunizations in 2010, compared to 91 percent in both groups statewide, according to the 2011 Santa Cruz County Community Assessment Report. Seacliff resident and AB 2109 critic Rebecca Downing attributes these low immunization rates to the fact that “parents in this county do their homework.” “We investigate what is in vaccines, their benefits and risks, and we make our choice,” she says, adding that her family decided not to vaccinate after completing a “significant amount of research.” “This bill, which is now a law, created an additional step that, for some people, will involve increased costs associated with paying for a doctor visit and taking time off work for that visit,” she says. “Additionally, I believe that the sponsors of the bill were wrong when they assumed that parents did not have enough information to make immunization decisions for their children.” With the bill’s passage, California becomes the second state with a law that requires parents to meet and talk with doctors before forgoing immunizations. Washington state was first to enact similar legislation and has seen a 25 percent drop in vaccine opt-outs since doing so, according to Assemblymember Pan’s office. Will California’s new law have a similar effect in communities like Santa Cruz? “I really don't know what the impact of the law will be,” says Downing. “I think it is important now for each family who chooses not to vaccinate to come to their appointment with their own information so that they may share it with the healthcare professional. It is important for the healthcare professional to understand and accept another point of view even if they don't agree with it.”

BILL MAHER

VOTE FOR

BILL

On the eve of a rare Santa Cruz gig, we probe the mind of Bill Maher and explore how comedy and politics helped send the comedian’s celebrity soaring into one hell of an orbit. BY GREG ARCHER approach the issue of politics and present it to television audiences. In the years that followed, especially when the comic found success on HBO with Real Time With Bill Maher (beginning in 2003), others followed suit. Without Maher, some would argue, the likes of Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert may not have been so lavishly embraced by the masses. Now, with less than a month until the contentious 2012 presidential election, Maher’s main topics are, obviously, Obama, Romney, the Republicans, and, not to be left out, the environment. (Is anybody addressing the fact that the planet is still in a state of enviro chaos?) But here, a few weeks before he hits the Santa Cruz Civic with his “Countdown To The Election” tour (Oct. 21), the New York City-born/River City, N.J.-raised comedian, who first got

his start in 1979 only to later rise as a multiple-Emmy nominee, documentary film titan (Religulous) and modern media thrill seeker (CrazyStupidPolitics LIVE), talks candidly about some of his early influences, his current state of mind and the joy of being autonomous (among other things).

Good Times: Great to connect with you. Congratulations on all of your work. Bill Maher: That’s sweet of you. Thank you. It’s nice that you’re coming to Santa Cruz. You know … we are very cannabisfriendly, so this might be a good pit stop for you. [Laughs] Note to self: Good to know.

So here we are, the countdown to the election—where do you think we are and what do you find most amusing, politically, at this point? Well, the Republicans are always the most amusing. Considering the amount of material they give me on almost a daily basis, I should have given a million dollars to Mitt Romney’s campaign. He’s earned it much more than Obama has. But, as amusing as it is to me … apparently [it is] not so much to the American public. Every time I see some bad shit happening for him, like when he picked Paul Ryan [for a running mate] and then Medicare became the big issue … I thought, ‘Well, this has 13 OCT

It’s political hunting season and, man, is Bill Maher on the prowl. Of course, this isn’t “breaking” news. The unabashed liberal comedian has fiercely pointed his creative Uzi toward the American political system—and its mixed bag of politicians— for nearly 20 years now. Back in the ’90s, when Comedy Central’s Politically Incorrect first aired (it later moved to ABC), Maher quickly became known for being not just your garden-variety envelope-pusher, but somebody far more crafty (and sane). He was able, through a clever mix of wit, wisdom and insight, to help reinvent the way modern comics and commentators

been the Democratic issue for 50 years, certainly people are going to be afraid of Ryan and his plan to end the program.’ You know, it took them two weeks to make it a draw on the issue of Medicare, and now, a lot of people, especially older folks, think Mitt Romney’s the man on this. Then the whole Todd Akin thing came along—the man with the mystical spermicide theory—and I thought, well, this is going to be bad, but no, it didn’t seem to affect them at all. So, I don’t know. It looks like it’s one of those years where the economy is just in the forefront of people’s minds and they go, well, Mitt Romney is a brilliant businessman and we need a better business atmosphere. Let’s elect him. It must be great for material. But I am sure you must sit back and ask: When are we going to pull our head out of our ass? Well, I have been saying that since I got on the air. But it does seem to get worse every year. At least this year, I feel like there is a choice that is exciting both bases of the party. And you don’t always get that in every election. Obviously, Romney for picking Ryan, and that’s all he’s got. It was in the paper that the Romney/Ryan ticket is getting zero percent of the black vote. Zero. So, not a lot of reason to go after that one. And the Democrats, Obama made moves; got the gay vote shored up with gay marriage; got the Latino vote 17>

shored up. He’s going after what is basically the Democratic base—minorities, women and sane people. And Republicans are going after their base, which I guess is white people who make sighing noises when they get up. It does seem like it’s the last election for the old white guard. I mean, if Mitt doesn’t pull this one out, they are in trouble. Every year, the white population goes down and the minority population goes up. You’ve expressed a number of criticisms of Obama, but what is your biggest criticism of his presidency thus far? The drug war. Well, you mentioned it. You said Santa Cruz is a cannabis-friendly area. Well, if it’s a cannabis-friendly area, they must be shitting in their pants. Because I just reviewed a book for the New York Times book review a few weeks ago, “Too High To Fail,” which described Mendocino County, which is nearby, and how a couple of years ago, it was kind of an Eden of experimentation for legalized marijuana. They were taking advantage of the state laws and there were lots of farmers growing it and the sheriff was cool with it, and everybody was making money and nobody was getting hurt. Crime was down and then Obama came in and the feds cracked down and that Eden went away. Not only is it the wrong policy, but it is exactly the opposite of what Obama promised he would do. Not only is it bad, but there’s a third thing that is wrong with it, which is

“I think Mitt Romney is a symptom. I think the problem is the Republican Party.” —Bill Maher, 'Real Time With Bill Maher’

that it’s bad politics. The Democratic Party could gain so much for coming out for legalization. They would gain so many new voters. You know, a lot of them would probably show up on the wrong day … Thursday. [Laughs] But it would be a beginning. But I am serious about that—that could be a wedge issue for Democrats, like voting for gay marriage was for the Republicans. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. But I don’t sense it changing any time soon, and I sense you agree. It’s funny you said that because when I was in college in the ’70s, we used to say to ourselves, through the cloud of smoke, that when we became the establishment—when we were in our fifties, when we were the lawyers and the legislatures—of course, marijuana would be legal because it’s us. And now we would be the ones in charge, but somehow that didn’t seem to happen, did it?

It didn’t. So, what is your thought of the day on the religious right? That they are wrong. [Laughs] Well, I mean, you see them always rearing their ugly head, certainly in Republican politics. Certainly with Mr. Akin. That was our little editorial at the end of the show (recently). I was trying to make the connection between the party that is basically fundamentalist in their religious views and also the party of fantasy—and not just about the baby-making, although that’s a great example. This idea that if you don’t like the idea of a rape baby, then just imagine that it is impossible. Imagine that a woman has a shutdown valve, and, if she is raped, there can be no such thing as a rape baby. That is real fantastical thinking. That is magical thinking. And you see it many of their issues. You see it economically. You see it in global warming—that’s just another thing that does not exist in their mind. It’s a hoax—that it’s something out of Al Gore’s imagination. And it’s very dangerous, especially in this world we live in, with the kind of problems we 18>

deal with, It’s very, very dangerous not to attack problems realistically and scientifically. And this is what they are constantly doing. So, take me back a little bit. There you are, Bill … 10, 11, 12 years old. Who were your inspirations? Who were you influenced by? I already knew I wanted to be a comedian when I was 10 years old. That was a big advantage. A lot of kids are very smart, very great. They are ambitious but they get to college and they go, ‘What the fuck do I do? Where are the jobs? I don’t know what I want to do.’ I always knew what I wanted to do and that was great. And my heroes that I wanted to follow into it were Johnny Carson, [and] Robert Kline. Good heroes. Yes. And George Carlin. Those were the comedians that I looked up to and wanted to emulate. A few years back in a Vanity Fair questionnaire, you noted your biggest extravagance was hope and that your current state of mind at the time was cautiously pessimistic. So, how about now? [Laughs] Oh yeah, right, The Proust Questionnaire. Is hope still your biggest extravagance? Yeah, I think so. It’s so hard to hope. It’s kind of hope against hope. Because the things that you read in the

“I don't know what you have to do to be an energy advisor to Mitt Romney. I think you just have to say, 'Fracking is amazing!' And, 'Global warming is a hoax.’” —Bill Maher

[Laughs] It’s funny. I’m 56 years old. So on the environmental issue, I kind of feel like, if younger people don’t care as much as I do, fuck ’em. I’ve already had a good time with the planet. You know? You got to care at least as much as I do, because you are going to be on the cleanup committee. And this shit is only going to get worse. I just don’t understand younger people who don’t care. I guess they buy into this theory, the Republican’s theory, of ‘Oh well, we’ll just adapt. So what if the sea levels rise and it wipes out New York and Los Angeles. We’ll adapt.’ We’ll move inland. We’ll be in St. Louis. We’ll wear a Hazmat suit when we go down to the mailbox. I mean, so what if the ocean is all fished out and there are no more fish left, we’ll eat eels and cockroaches and make protein shakes out of bugs. I guess that’s what we will do, but it’s not really what I want to do.

newspaper … they don’t seem to be going in an upward direction. I read today that the ice melting in the Arctic Ocean has been constantly more than the scientists’ worst predictions—more than it has ever done before [before the end of summer]. It’s like the guy who in baseball has 75 home runs and it’s only August. Where is the melting going to go? And on top of that, nobody is really doing anything about it. It’s not really an issue. It’s not really on the table. You didn’t hear anybody in the Republican and Democratic conventions talking about the fact that the planet is catching on fire. Nobody is talking about it anymore. Greenland melted a few months ago. So then … what would you say is current your state of mind? Well, my current state of mind is … hanging on.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1.800.280.2832 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.auction.com using the file number assigned to this case H536995 H. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

Why Do People Keep Coming to this Doctor who states: I’ve never healed anyone of anything… biggest “secrets” in health care. Few people, less than 10% of the U.S. population, have been to a chiropractor. So many of the rest could be helped if they only knew the true story. I often feel like shouting it from the mountain top! Is that “professional”? Well, maybe it is or maybe not. I’ve decided people should know. For the last twenty three years, people from Santa Cruz and the surrounding area have come to see me with their health problems. They also come to me with:

Dear Neighbors Well, at first, my wife asked me not to write this. We had a big discussion about it. Finally, she understood what I was trying to do, and actually helped me write this letter to you. Here’s the thing. In my office, most of the people that come in to see me tell me they’ve “tried everything.” They’ve had “every” test, wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for.

• Headaches

In 1975, while helping a friend moves a piano, I hurt my back so bad, I couldn’t move at all. A friend of mine told me that a chiropractor could probably help. I refused to go and spent the next two weeks flat on my back. Finally, against my will, he and a friend lifted me into the back of a pick-up truck and drove me to the doctor. This doctor did an exam, took some x-ray films, and then told me that my lower back had been fractured those many years ago and that it was degenerating. He looked me right in the eye and told me he could help me. Not knowing what else to do I agreed and he performed a specific chiropractic adjusted my lower back. To my amazement and great relief, I felt immediate improvement. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and then stood up on my own power for the first time in two weeks! Chiropractic worked so well for me, and I was so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I had seen in his office, I decided to go to chiropractic school myself. And that’s how it happened! 2 OCT

Back to what my wife (at first) didn’t want me to write. It’s that chiropractic is one of the

Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems, but I can’t really take the credit. The truth is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. Of course, all people respond differently to care, but we get terrific results. It’s as simple as that! Exciting Offer-If you want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up

I first visited Dr. McCollum about three years ago when I was very frustrated with my

• Migraines • Lower back pain • Sciatica • Neck pain • Shoulder/arm pain • Whiplash • Backaches • Numbness in limbs • Athletic injuries just to name a few… “I see a positive and enjoyable future. I feel great!”

Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, let me tell you something about me… At age ten, I fell thirty feet from a pine tree when the branch I was sitting on broke. I landed in a seated position injuring my lower back. My parents, not knowing what else to do, gave me prescribed painkillers and muscle relaxers, this was my life for the next ten years. I was in varying degrees of constant pain for the majority of my child-hood.

pared with the help, knowledge and care Dr. McCollum and his staff have provided. I always feel welcome and special at the office. They are good people. I work in an environment that can lead to back injuries and I have had several since beginning my adjustments. The injuries would usually take weeks to overcome, but under Dr. McCollum’s care, the symptoms only prevailed for a day or two with much less severity. Again, thanks to all the staff at McCollum Family Chiropractic, I see a positive and enjoyable future. I feel great! -K.K.

I would like to thank Dr McCollum and his staff for giving me my life back. Eight months ago, I returned to work as a carpenter after a 3 year hiatus earning a degree from Montana State University. I thought I was in fairly good condition from walking and conditioning. Returning to work as a carpenter and wearing a tool belt nearly ruined me. I could not walk, climb ladders, or work without pain. I even had to lift my leg into the low car that I drove. With Dr McCollum’s help, I feel I have recovered from years of labor-induced effects on my spine and nerves. I can now work and play pain free. I was taking a megadose of ibuprofen, Aleve and prescribed pain killers. The medical doctors told me that I needed “hip replacement”. I told them that I’ve always been hip and they would not operate on me. See, I’ve even got my sense of humor back. I would especially like to thank Dr McCollum for helping me with my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) that I had been suffering from for 16 years. I truly believed after several tests and procedures that I was stuck with this infliction for life. The nerve signals are working again and I could not even thanks Dr McCollum and his staff enough. Old age is still coming on. I feel better pre-

“Thank you Duncan for the life changing affect you have had.”

health. My asthma symptoms had been increasing and required hospitalization. I was taking 9 medications, all related to treatment of asthma or its side effects. I was struggling to continue working as a Nurse. My typical day included wearing wrist braces, a back brace with ice packs and needing Motrin by end of my shift. I made a conscious choice to do something about it, something different. I really wanted to get my body as healthy as possible, so I decided to try chiropractic. Of course, I had hesitations about someone “cracking my neck”, but Dr McCollum’s intuition and careful approach was reassuring. The immediate relief I felt showed me how effective Chiropractic is. With continued chiropractic care, back spasms and joint pain decreased and I no longer used the wrist or back braces. My breathing continued to improve as the asthma symptoms decreased. I was able to get off 8, and then finally all of the meds! Going through the Isagenix weight loss program, I shed about 30 pounds! I got rid of the excess toxins, lost the puffiness and dropped 8 dress sizes. As my stamina and energy returned, I felt like I had a newly energized and vital body to live in. Dr McCollum’s knowledge and intuition about healing the body have made a significant change in my life. His continued care with the Wellness Plan has helped me sustain healthy lifestyle choices. I am so grateful to have found him. As a medical professional he has my highest recommendation. Thank you Duncan for the life changing affect you have had! T.L,

with drugs, then read on! When you are one of the first 50 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by November 1st, 2012) you will receive that entire exam for $37. That includes a complete consultation, examination, any needed x-rays, and a next day report of our findings,….the whole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But, call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $325. Again, there’s only 50 of these slots, so don’t miss out (by law, this offer excludes Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries). Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a graduate of Palmer-West College, served as President of the Monterey Chiropractic Association for two separate terms, am a 20- year Charter Member of the LeTip Santa Cruz Business Networking Group and have been an Aptos resident since 1968. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to 94- year-olds and some pro athletes that you may know. For the past twenty three years, I’ve been taking care of your neighbors in Santa Cruz County. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My staff are really great people. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee. Our office is McCOLLUM FAMILY CHIROPRACTICR and it’s at 1726 Seabright Ave. (between Water St. & Soquel Ave.). Our phone number is 831-459-9990. Call us today for an appointment. Our friendly staff are Tess, Nancy, Natalie, Dr Randy Russell D.C. and myself. We can help you. Thank you and Good Health.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 It will seem as if your communication entered a tailspin. All of a sudden you’re a bit tonguetied, dark unconscious waters rush into your brain bringing to the forefront past information and events you’d rather forget. Passions emerge and desires, more than usual. But then they’re dashed with the cold water of thought. You think about redemption, rebirth, reorientation. Birds fly in front of you. One is a phoenix emerging from the ashes of your old self.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Conflicts in communication transforms your interactions so that new ways of behaving and dealing with conflict emerge. You seek ways of speaking that are profound, truthful, challenging and yet stabilizing. Instead of the harmony you seek, there’s constant difference (for a while) of opinion. When you seek understanding, you both win, successfully meeting tests and challenges. You’re both triumphant. Then the promise holds.

Bring all that you have, all that you know, are skilled at, talents and gifts to your workplace, so that other lives may advance and be improved. You might find people resistant to your information. Being at the forefront you may have to withstand other people feeling you are challenging their composed reality. And you are. Challenge is needed for humanity to progress forward. Refine your group process skills.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 You’re passionate about teaching others what you have experienced and now know. Create a Journal of Learnings. Plan group meetings where you share your creative endeavors and discoveries. For the artist within, begin to draw, copy, and create a scrapbook of beauty and possibility, keep seed packets. You will outdo yourself with surprise. Children are a source and great wealth of love, care and tenderness for you.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You will seek to re-fashion yourself and your home, based upon a new set of life-values. You have an inner deep reservoir of power and strength that meets life’s difficulties. At first you retreat. Later, with reserved capacity, you heal and move forward, seeking to liberate yourself from the deep psychological conditions of your early life. You use your wounds to anchor yourself into a state of care for a kingdom that needs your kindness.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You seek to understand the deep underlying meanings, the inner causal realities, behind all words, communications, books, studies and teachings. You perceptively unlock the mysteries, probing deeper and deeper till all nonsense is rooted out. Careful with communication with brothers and sisters. Be kind to siblings. Walk the neighborhoods and find its deeper hidden mysteries.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 It’s good to observe and make a list of desires and aspirations that have come forth recently. Desires come from the needs of our child self, our basic self, before the age of seven. These last our entire life. We cannot eliminate them. We must be knowledgeable of, honor and respect them, provide for them (basic necessities). Later when needs are met, ask yourself how to transmute desires into aspirations.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You have very different eyes; eyes that “see” things, hidden things, undercover things, eyes that know more than most, that rival Pisces in terms of understanding the non-physical world. Sometimes you’re a scorpion and you bite. Sometimes you’re the eagle that brings transformational realities to others since your nest is on the mountaintop and you mate for life. Which one are you? Both. The past returns for review. Find its keynote.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Great growth, psychological and spiritual, occurs the next month and for several years. At times you feel you’ve become Persephone, kidnapped by Pluto, taken to the underground to withstand separations and isolation. These will be fertile times, where you understand clearly your true needs. As undisciplined desires arise, with no hope of being quenched, a transformational energy arises within and you find yourself to be a healer.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 What are your aspirations, hopes, wishes and dreams? Create a Journal of Hopes, Wishes & Dreams. Did you create your God Box? You’re awakening to a great call to and for change. With change, new hopes, wishes and dreams, along with new needs, arise. Keep up with them, observe them carefully. Envision your goals. Be flexible. They too may change. Work with a group and not alone. Family is our first and foremost group.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You want to be a success. You want to achieve. To truly achieve one must have ethics and morals. You have vitality which brings new life, light and encouragement to all endeavors. Be careful with money. Do not squander it. Use it for future needs that safeguard your life and the life of family and friends. In all ways it’s time to form intentional community. Where would that be for you?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You search deeply for meaning and truth in all interactions and communications. A greater spiritual path soon appears along with deeper spiritual experiences. It is good to read the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. You say you already read it? Read it again. Something is needed to be known by you in that book. A crisis brings forth a new selfidentity and then a choice is offered. Stay on the Path. Don’t waver.

You also mentioned once, and I hear this a lot from comedians and performers, that you had a desperate need to be liked. Is that still true? Care to expound? Yeah, I think I can open that up. [Laughs] Good for you. I think that’s the motivating factor when you are young and you want to succeed. First you want that with a girl; having a girl like you. Of course, you want to be liked by the audience and I still want to be liked by the audience, but after doing this for 20 years, come on, if it all ended tomorrow, I would still feel like it was a great ride and [I would be] thrilled that I basically got to say what I wanted to say without having to pull any punches for this long. And, in a way, it’s surprising that I have lasted this long. I feel like I am playing with the house money. What is something most people might not know about you? That if I were a foot taller, I would be a great NBA basketball player; that I play basketball every day. What is some of the best advice you’ve been given about life? I have not been given a lot of great advice. I never had an older brother. I didn’t really have a comic mentor that I can think of. I had idols, and we discussed them. But I didn’t know them personally. I feel like I have had to learn most of my lessons myself, and it depends on your personality. For me, I am kind of a warrior and I think the most important advice I’ve learned to give myself is: ‘Stop worrying; you’re probably doing it already. Whatever you’re worrying about, you’re probably already doing everything you could.’ It’s just really ridiculous to be stressed out about stress, which I have sometimes done to myself. Stressing about stress.

I am always reading health books and health articles … whatever the latest findings are because once the body goes, there you have it. Try aloe vera juice. I don’t know about aloe vera juice, but I juice every day; vegetables in a juicer and I put the aloe vera in it—the big leaf, prickly thick. So, you’re a bit holistic? Very much so. Nice. Moving on … gay marriage. What do you think? I hardly know you. [Laughs] You have a good voice, though. We just met. Come on—gay marriage? Sure. I am for it. Whatever they want to do. As long as I don’t have to get married, I am all for anyone else who thinks they would be happy getting married. Contrary to popular belief, I’ve never been anti-marriage. I know lots of people who marriage works beautifully for— and good for them. It doesn’t work for me. But that’s the nice thing about living in a country of choice. Certainly gay people should have that choice. What is it about marriage that doesn’t work for you? I am too autonomous. I just want to do what I want to do when I want to do it. And you can’t be married that way, you know? I can relate. So, yeah, maybe we wouldn’t make a good couple after all. Or …? [Laughs] Yeah, well.

“I have always loved horses,” explains Alex Derrick, “[I’ve] been involved with them every chance I get.” Derrick found his place among other horse lovers in March of 2011 as a volunteer for local nonprofit Pregnant Mare Rescue (PMR). Geared as a sanctuary for pregnant horses and their offspring, PMR is on a mission to save as many mares and foals as they can from abusive situations, feed lots, slaughterhouses, and from owners who simply cannot care for a pregnant horse. PMR provides a safe and nurturing environment to mares, foals, and young orphaned horses and rehabilitates them for new homes. Since their inception in 2006, PMR has rescued 84 horses, and has tracked each of them into their postPMR futures to ensure their ongoing safety. “We are also a no-kill shelter,” explains Derrick. “Sometimes that means we are full for a year, but it means that no horse is put down just because [they are not useful to humans].” In many cases the horses that come through PMR have suffered through traumatic experiences and can be difficult to work with. PMR currently has four such mares and one of their foals rescued from the Premarin line, a hormone therapy pharmaceutical company. “All of them arrived in a mess,” remembers Derrick. “We couldn’t touch them and they were slightly dangerous because of their fear of humans. Now after being with us for a couple months they are far safer to be around.” PMR is always welcoming volunteers who are committed to nurturing mares and their foal. “I love that PMR operates off of natural horsemanship,” notes Derrick. “We work off of the horse’s schedule, not ours.” For more information please visit pregnantmarerescue.org

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is ranked as the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. In an effort to provide a deterrent to suicidal behavior, the trained team of volunteers at the Suicide Prevention Service answers calls from local people who are experiencing feelings of enormous pain and despair. Their goal? To be available emotionally for another human being, to break the isolation and stigma of suicide, and to connect people with resources. Those who are interested in getting involved can take part in the SPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall training, which begins Oct. 16. Previous crisis experience is not a prerequisite to volunteer for the program. All calls are confidential. | JB

i INFO: To volunteer, visit suicidepreventionservice.org, or call 459-9373, and ask to speak to the Volunteer Coordinator (ext. 2). If you or someone you know is feeling suicidal, SPS encourages you to call its 24-hour toll-free Suicide Crisis Line, 458-5300.

in the morning. You gotta have all that blood and guts to really make your next Jane’s record. AT THE TIME THAT THIS BAND TOOK OFF, GLAM METAL WAS STILL BIG. HOW DID AN AGAINST-THE-GRAIN GROUP LIKE JANE’S ADDICTION BUILD A FOLLOWING IN L.A.? Well, the Sunset Strip was hot and happening, but that scene ended at midnight. Our scene started in downtown L.A. at 1 or 2 in the morning, when the Strip was done. Actually, those cats would come by, because we were the after-show; we were the late-night party, you know? Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns and all those cats were at the Jane’s shows, but we weren’t especially at their shows, because their shows were starting at 10:30 at The Roxy, and we were still just preparing for the night at that point. Our scene was Chili Peppers, Fishbone … Firehose was there, and Henry Rollins was around. Me and [guitarist] Dave [Navarro] were actually bringing some of that Sunset Strip, flamboyant, “Look how I play so fast” vibe, and [bassist] Eric [Avery] and [vocalist] Perry [Farrell] were like, “Let’s quiet it down and make it about the song.” So, what was happening in L.A. was almost happening inside the band: There was the late night thing, which was Goth and post-punk, and then there was the earlier night thing that was like the Strip. There was a sense where both of those crowds were very hungry for what Jane’s was delivering. The cats that saw Fishbone and Chilis weren’t getting long-ass guitar solos; the guys that were checking out GN’R and Ratt were not getting unusually funky rhythm sections. Jane’s had both. And then you had the look and the lyrics. Perry’s lyrics, to me, were just a step beyond whatever was going on in the Chili Peppers or Fishbone or the metal scene. All that kind of combined, and the timing was right. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF MUSIC TODAY? I’m a big fan of Mute Math. It’s like a digestible Mars Volta! Young kids playing their hearts out. I don’t mind seeing somebody go onstage and press Play on a spacebar. It’s cool; it might even get more people in the audience moving than a rock band. But I’m a player; I’m a musician; I’m a craftsman. I’m not opposed to the electric world of technology watching over us, but there still has to be that hands-on-frets, personality thing. Nowadays the amount of beats that are out there for young cats to get influenced by is just awesome: not just Neil Peart and Gene Krupa, but some freak writing beats on an iPad that no drummer can possibly do with his limbs! And then a drummer hears that and tries to do that with his limbs, and it becomes something new. So there is growth. DO YOU SEE JANE’S ADDICTION AS HAVING A SPECIAL PLACE IN MUSIC HISTORY?

Well, the Pumpkins, the Seattle scene and the alternative birth— if you consider those flowers of music, I think Jane’s Addiction is the soil, the fertilizer. We’re the shit! We’re basically just like Iggy and the Stooges in 1969; people claim ’77 is [the beginning of] the punk movement. We didn’t sell 10 million records, but what we did is: We sold a million records to a million artists! Not 10 million businessmen, CPAs, doctors and lawyers. So when you hear Tom Morello, Billy Corgan or Dave Grohl bring up Jane’s Addiction, they’re not bullshitting; that’s really what they grew up on. Even if they were the same age as us! Playing like that and writing like that was not work; it seemed easy. And it wasn’t fake. I think that philosophy definitely made an influence on the world. If you take a little bit of blue dye and put it in a cup of water, the whole cup turns blue. You don’t need much to change a whole bathtub of water—just a drop of color. So, I think we were that little drop.

Since its inception three years ago, Ancestree has not only become a favorite in the local reggae scene, but also a Santa Cruz icon. Stickers bearing the band’s name can be found throughout town—from telephone poles, to cars, to bar stools, to bathroom stalls—and their signature yellow school bus makes them hard to miss. The brainchild of vocalist/lead guitarist Tom Maimon and vocalist/guitarist Tomas Gomez—“We are like two wings of the same bird,” says Maimon—Ancestree has been on three tours in support of three albums in its short history. At the heart of the band’s music is the reggae tradition of spirtual guidance and learned consciousness. “We each have an ideal of the world that resides inside ourselves,” explains Maimon. “Most of the time this ideal is not expressed in the things outside—news, school, commercials. We want to create music that exposes the internal ideal, that also invites it into the external.” To accomplish that goal, Maimon and Gomez play with a talented group of local musicians, including Chris Carr (bass), Alia Fintz (saxophone), John Berzeekee (keys) and Alex Arellano Olvera (drums/percussion). “Life is hard. It is easy to dwell on the things that go wrong and a world that doesn’t seem to fit your views,” says Maimon. “Our music is [meant] to let your inner peace and happiness override, to provide the inner spiritual source.” Ancestree plans to spread that message on Oct. 15 at Moe’s Alley, when the band will share the stage with Bambu Station from the Virgin Islands and Tuff Lion from Hawaii. “You have the best international acts, the best sound, and the best venue right in front of you,” says Maimon. “Why wouldn’t you come?” DANIEL TALAMANTES

Nouvelle Vague throws old punk, post-punk, and New Wave influences in a blender and adds a dash of French flavor. Not your average cover band, group founders Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux reinvent their favorite songs from bands like Talking Heads, The Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys, by inviting a variety of singers to lend their vocals to their 1960s Bossa nova-style arrangements. Often switching between English, French and Spanish, each song could easily be mistaken for an original—prepare to be pleasantly surprised. | JOEL HERSCH

Ahead of the Carve Wild animals come to life in local artist Andrea Rich’s Japanese woodcuts | BY LILY DAYTON

each time. She also found a way to incorporate her passion for wildlife. Rich’s work—which will be on display during the 2012 Open Studios Art Tour, Oct. 13-14 and Oct. 20-21 in Santa Cruz—depicts a plethora of wild critters, from local species such as long-billed curlews and black-crowned night herons, to far-flung animals ranging from the domestic moose and red-eared slider to the more exotic sunbird, lemur and tiger. “I only do work from animals I’ve actually seen in the wild,” she says. “I go out and photograph and sketch, then go back to the studio to plan my prints.” As a result, Rich has spent countless hours in the field in the Monterey Bay area, as well as volunteered at the local Native Animal Rescue. She has also traveled around the country and abroad searching for images. As far as what captures her eye, the artist says, “It isn’t any one thing. You’re out in the field and something grabs your attention. It could be a pattern or a color, or the actual bird or bear’s expression or pose. I do a lot of birds, but a bird on a branch is not enough—there has to be a composition.” She explains that because the strength of woodcut printing lies in its ability to depict patterns, she’s always on the lookout for striking patterns and compositions. And since the composition is created from the animal within its environment, one of the hallmarks of her more recent work is portraying the animal in its native habitat—something that lends a holistic aspect to the artwork, as well as reflects a conservation ethic. “I’m looking more at the landscapes [animals] inhabit,” Rich says. “Where you find them, how they fit into the environment—because that’s part of the overall pattern. You go to see a tiger in a zoo and he’s an impressive animal, but it’s not the same as a tiger in a jungle, walking through the grass.” Andrea Rich’s artwork will be on display at 706 Western Drive, Santa Cruz, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 13-14 and Oct. 20-21, as part of the Open Studios Art Tour.

t all began with a blurry picture. When Andrea Rich was taking art classes at the University of WisconsinWhitewater in the 1970s, one of her professors projected an unfocused slide of a Japanese woodcut print onto a screen. The only objects she could make out were fuzzy shapes and patterns. As her professor slowly brought the lens into focus and explained how the composition was intended to lead the viewer’s eyes around the design, the image sharpened into a picture of a geisha peering through a veil. “That hooked me,” says Rich, who admits that she was unmoved by the pop-art culture that surrounded her in art school. “There was actually a composition there,” she says of that first woodcut. “[The artists] had planned it. It wasn’t something that was haphazardly done. ... I wasn’t particularly interested in the subject matter, but the process was the first thing I could really sink into.” The art of woodcut printing—or Ukiyo-e, which means “pictures of the floating world”—became popular in 17th-century Japan as the first art form that could be mass-produced, and thus affordable to the common people. Entire families of Japanese woodblock artists would often work together to carve images of geishas and courtesans, actors and performers, wildlife and landscapes, onto a series of wooden blocks that they would then roll with ink, and print onto paper in layers. A single design could take as many as 100 blocks to produce. While the process takes time and planning, it’s relatively simple in terms of equipment. So, as a young art school graduate with no tools and limited funds, woodblock printing was not only an art form that Rich was attracted to in terms of composition—it was also a medium that she could afford. “All you really need is a block of wood, a knife and a wooden spoon,” Rich says, explaining how she traced reverse images of her first designs onto wooden blocks, carving away the negative space, then printing the images by hand. More than 30 years later, her process is not that different—though she now can make use of a printing press, and often incorporates reduction printing into the process, where she uses the same block for different layers, re-carving a new surface

TIME TO WINE

Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2011—A brand new release from Soquel’s Hunter Hill BY JOSIE COWDEN I first tasted Hunter Hill’s Sauvignon Blanc at the Capitola Art & Wine Festival in September. On a particularly hot day for our neck of the woods, this was perhaps one of the lightest and most refreshing wines around, and I went back for another tasting. This is one lovely new release put out by Hunter Hill—and perfect to pair with just about anything as the last of the warm weather lingers on. But let not the temperature play a role in whether or not to drink this wine. Pairing well with salad, seafood, light appetizers, and a plate of fruit and cheese, it’s a wine that can be drunk just about any time. Christine and Vann Slatter, owners of Hunter Hill Winery, have nicknamed this wine “SilverSmith” in honor of their good friends Linda and Larry Smith who encouraged them to make it. It is produced from the Sauvignon Musqué clone, thought to be a natural clone of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat. Musqué is a French term applied to certain varieties of clones or grapes used for making wine. The term means both perfumed (musky) and Muscat-like, and indicates that the variety or clone is highly aromatic. Dining at Sanderlings in Seascape Resort with friends a couple of weeks ago, I came across Hunter Hill’s Sauvignon Blanc on the wine list and I encouraged my friends to try it. The three of us ordered the same dish—a “locals’ special” of Scampi, served with rice or linguini— and this wine paired beautifully with the plump fresh scampi. The dish was fairly rich, cooked in a wonderful garlic sauce, so it needed a crisp aromatic wine with zesty acidity to go with it—and the Sauvignon Blanc fit the bill. The wine’s noticeable overtones of peach, pear and nectarine also paired nicely with our tasty salads. And last but not least, the eye-catching label of bright yellow sunflowers by Patty Hinz Imagery perfectly captures the mood of this delicious wine.

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Donnelly Chocolates onnelly Chocolates has provided Santa Cruzans with gourmet artisan chocolate for nearly a quarter-century, and the company and retail shop is constantly gaining new fans. One bite of the decadent confections, made by hand from top of the line French and Belgian chocolate, and you’ll taste why.

Owner Richard H. Donnelly founded Donnelly Chocolates in 1988, and also serves as the company’s chocolate maker. Many family members have been part of the business over the years. “I started the business in my mother’s kitchen in Scituate, Massachusetts,” says Donnelly. “We sold very little chocolate the first year and I ended up moving to California.” Donnelly’s mother and sister actually performed the product development for Donnelly Chocolates’ line of mixes (brownie, cake, chocolate chip cookies, and hot chocolate). And then there’s Donnelly’s brother Henry, who in Richard Donnelly’s words does “…sales work and a little bit of everything except chocolate making…we are a very small company.”

Donnelly Chocolates has been at its Mission Street location since 1988, first as a wholesale company and then as a retail shop that also does wholesale and online orders. Richard Donnelly launched the retail storefront in the early 1990’s and the onlineordering component of the web site in 1995. Today, the Mission Street store accounts for 85% of business. If you can’t make it to the Mission Street store, but you’re located in midtown or downtown, you can also purchase the com-

pany’s chocolates at Shopper’s Corner and at Artisans Gallery. Donnelly consistently works to develop new and better products, even after achieving accolades such as being rated one of the 10 best chocolate artisans by magazines including National Geographic, Chocolatier, and Bon Appetit. The business recently got a loan from the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union in order to improve both the chocolate and the company through a variety of aspects. One of these entails doing even more of the chocolate-making process themselves. “We are using the loan for items including ‘bean to bar’ chocolate-making equipment, new Italian tempering equipment, and new general equipment,” shares Donnelly. “Within two years a high percentage of the chocolate ingredients we use will be made in house (as opposed to being of French or Belgian origin)…The bean to bar equipment opens a whole line of business to us and has potential for good growth and the potential to make both diabetic and organic chocolates.” Also, the tempering and dipping equipment will cut down the time for chocolate making and make the product even better. Donnelly is grateful to SCCCU for the support in its expansion. “We have been a customer for about 8 years. They have been incredibly helpful,” Donnelly says. “In addition to developing the line of chocolates from bean to bar we are developing more popular American candies like fudge, brittles and nougats.” Donnelly’s offerings to the community go beyond great chocolates. The shop hosts chocolate-making classes most months of

the year (never in February due to the busy Valentine’s season). “We do the classes because customers were asking for them,” says Donnelly. Students cover a broad spectrum, from beginning to more experienced levels, and have included people who already make candy at home and people who come as a group for a birthday party or reunion. Retail customers at Donnelly Chocolates also come in many different ages and backgrounds, and even cover generations of the same family. “We have done lots of wedding favors over the years and I think this is one of the most fun aspects of the business,” proclaims Donnelly. “In the last couple years we have done wedding favors for some people whose parents had our wedding favors at their wedding.” Donnelly Chocolates not only has strong current ties to the community, buying from and selling to many local businesses, it also has strong Santa Cruz roots. Richard Donnelly confides that he didn’t make it in college the first time around, and it’s due to Santa Cruz’s own colleges that he eventually got a degree. “After the first year of college, which I did not like at all, I took 15 years off, then went to Cabrillo for years, then transferred to UCSC for a degree in econ/business manage-

ment economics,” Donnelly says. He loves supporting Santa Cruz in as many ways as possible, and looks forward to satisfying Santa Cruz’s sweet tooth for many more years.

Alternative Energy GT gets a shot in the arm from Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction | BY DAMON ORION magine a chart like the ones you’ve seen depicting human evolution—only instead of a procession with a monkey in the back and a homo sapiens in the front, there is a line of late-20th-century musicians making the transition from glam metal to alternative rock. If such a chart existed, Jane’s Addiction would be standing near the front of the line, just ahead of Guns N’ Roses. With counterculture anthems like “Mountain Song,” “Stop” and “Been Caught Stealing,” Jane’s gave ’80s audiences a raucous heads-up that heavy rock was shedding its big hair and walking upright toward a more organic ethos. Soon after, Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers would release their breakthrough albums on the same day—Sept. 24, 1991—thus heralding the extinction of the wild-maned, leopard-skin-clad rock wielder of the ’80s. The albums that Jane’s Addiction has released over the years might be outnumbered by the bassists who have played in the band (including members of said Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses), but by keeping its body of work lean, the group has maintained a near-perfect track record. In support of its fourth studio album, last year’s genuinely impressive The Great Escape Artist, Jane’s appears at the Santa Cruz Civic on Wednesday, Oct. 17. GT took this opportunity to pick drummer Stephen Perkins’ brain about the days when his band helped rock let its hair down, as well as his views on the music of the present day. In conversation, he displayed the same unflagging, go-for-it enthusiasm that makes his drumming a vital element of the Jane’s Addiction sound.

GOOD TIMES: WHEN AN ICONIC BAND LIKE JANE’S ADDICTION MAKES A NEW ALBUM, IS THERE A FEELING THAT YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO DO JUSTICE TO YOUR LEGACY?

EVOLUTION OF ROCK Jane’s Addiction helped usher in a new wave of organic rock, sans the ’80s big hair and leopard skin.

STEPHEN PERKINS: Exactly. Yeah. There has to be a sense of abandonment, like, “Who cares? We’re just makin’ music.” That’s gotta be there, or it just doesn’t feel right. But then there’s also that challenge: “Is this the next Jane’s?” We might need to put two months into one song to really make it [worthy]. And that’s what we found out on the new record: We had to spend a year on the damn thing! I could have gone in and said, “Here’s something I worked on last night.” “Cool.” But when you think about “Stop” or “Been Caught Stealing” or any of the songs that make you think of the Jane’s Addiction catalog, there was so much time spent on crafting them, playing ’em live, editing ’em, practicing ’em in front of people in our little room at two

MATISYAHU

Sesnon House at Cabrillo College, will feature the new work of composer Joshua McGhee, entitled “Variations on an African American Spiritual,” as well as Michael Gandolfi’s “Budget Cuts”—a humorous musical romp through some of the great works for orchestra—and music by Rameau, Mozart, Piazzolla, and more. As a group, violinist/violist Susan C. Brown, pianist Josephine Gandolfi, cellist Victoria Ehrlich, and mezzo-soprano Wendy Hillhouse, are a force to be reckoned with. And with the help of special guest Ray Brown on xylophone, you can bet that this particular show will be one to remember. | JH

i INFO: 3 p.m. Cabrillo College Sesnon House, 6500 Soquel Drive, Aptos. $15/general, $8/students. Visit cabrillovapa.com.

ii FÜXA The dream-like instrumental and electronic soundscapes of space rock band Füxa—pronounced like the color fuchsia—can play games with your mind as the music loops, frays into ambient noise, and then recalibrates, like a musician picking and tuning the strings of their guitar. Detroit musicians Ryan Anderson, Tom Meade and Randall Nieman create the otherworldly, psychedelic drone that is Füxa, with treated guitars, vintage synths and sparse, electronic percussion. Their songs have a dramatic and experimental quality, which they achieve by refusing to adhere to any expectation you might have of traditional, melodic music. In the spirit of expanding listeners' minds, Füxa is a twisting and turning kaleidoscope of sound that takes you for a ride through the stars. | JH

PEREZ TRIO

You might remember seeing the Wayne Shorter Quartet blow the doors off the Monterey Jazz Festival four years ago. At the heart of the quartet was renowned pianist Danilo Perez, whose last four albums were named Best Album of the Year in a variety of high-profile publications, including the New York Times. On Monday, the Grammy award-winner will bring his Pan-American jazz trio to Kuumbwa Jazz for a memorable night of world music. His latest album, Providencia, is a testament to the power of positive thinking in an uncertain world. A true musical visionary, Perez is at the top of his game. | DNA

wed/17 ii MATISYAHU When the world's first Hasidic reggae/hiphop superstar takes the stage at The Catalyst, it may take fans a moment to recognize that the guy singing is indeed, Matisyahu. That's because this summer, the artist cut off his trademark beard and hair, which he had grown out in devotion to Hasidic Judaism. What hasn’t changed, is Matisyahu’s repertoire of thought-provoking songs, characterized by spiritually charged and inspiring lyrics. His unique musical style, which combines jazz scat singing, Judaism's hazzan-style chanting, reggae, and even beatboxing, is showcased on his latest album, Spark Seeker, which locals will hear during Wednesday’s set. | JH

KING

When Katherine “Kaki” King plays the guitar, her intimate connection to the instrument shines through. While cradling it like a mother with a newborn baby, King crafts songs that are both invigorating and expansive, as well as melancholy, pensive and emotive. An extremely technically proficient musician—she plays many different instruments and has mastered a variety of guitar-playing techniques— King switches between fret-tapping and bass-slapping, using her guitar to make percussive beats, and layers sounds with looping equipment. You may recognize her music from the Into the Wild soundtrack, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. | JH

FILM

TEENAGE WASTELAND Teens come of age in ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower,’ a heartfelt and moving representation of the emotional roller coaster that is high school.

High School Confidential Cult teen novel morphs into disarming film in 'Perks Of Being A Wallflower' | BY LISA JENSEN nyone who's ever felt like an outsider in high school—which is anyone who has ever been a teenager—will be able to relate to The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. It's adapted from Stephen Chbosky's 1999 Young Adult cult novel sensation about a troubled teen entering his freshman year of high school desperately searching for someone to connect with before his internal demons swallow him up. It may sound overly melodramatic, although in this case, the protagonist's demons are more real and sinister than most. But the importance of finding an emotional safety net and a place to fit in gives this disarming movie a very universal appeal. A lot can be lost in translation from page to screen, but here, Chbosky writes and directs the film himself. Having not read the book, I can't tell you exactly what's been cut out, but issues of drugs, teen drinking, sexuality, mental instability and a dark family secret all surface in the film. That said, the tone is surprisingly gentle, even benign, through most of the picaresque vignettes that make up the storyline, buoyed by some great performances in the leading roles. Fifteen-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), is a latecomer to his freshman year, after spending time in an institution and the harrowing loss of his best friend. Smart and sensitive, he knows he has to make friends to pull himself out of depression, but he's either

harassed or ignored by the cool kids, and he's counting the days until high school will finally be over for good. The only simpatico person he meets on the first day of classes is an English teacher (Paul Rudd) who starts loaning him books. In freshman shop class, Charlie meets Patrick (the terrific Ezra Miller), an irreverent senior who has to take the class over in order to graduate. Sensing a kindred spirit, Patrick takes Charlie under his wing and introduces him to his stepsister, Sam (Emma Watson), also a senior, a fun-loving beauty trying to overcome the excesses of her younger years and get her life back on track. (Watson is likable and spirited, although she seems a little wholesome for a girl haunted by her slutty past.) Through Sam and Patrick, Charlie falls in with a small band of artsy outsider kids who dance to the beat of a different drummer. "Welcome to the island of misfit toys," Sam tells him, and his delight at finding his own tribe is palpable. Of course, complications arise, notably Charlie's crush on Sam, even though she's dating another guy, which is intensified when one of the other girls wants Charlie's attention. Patrick's covert love affair with a jock on the football team is at constant risk of exposure. And bit by bit, Charlie must confront the buried secret at the root of his own angst that could engulf him at any moment. Set in the 1990s, the film is also a flashback feast of Clinton-era music, styles and pop culture. Everyone

makes and shares mix tapes (as in audio) and goes to interactive midnight shows of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (where Patrick, of course, plays the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter). No one has an iPhone; there's no texting or tweeting, and no one has the option of a virtual online community to provide the illusion of relationships. These kids have to make a community the oldfashioned way—having conversations face-to-face, sharing experiences, revealing themselves in sometimes scary ways, trusting each other. Not everything rings true. It's unclear how these kids have access to the parent-free party house where they experiment with booze, loaded brownies and LSD. And while baby-faced Legman certainly looks 15 (the actor is 20), he and the others seem a wee bit too poised and sophisticated for high school. (Although that's probably just how Chbosky, like most of us, chooses to remember his own high school days.) Still, wry, scene-stealing Miller is practically worth the price of admission all by himself. And scenes where Patrick and Sam kick out the jams at a school dance, or the three friends drive through a tunnel, screaming madly for life, underscore all the drama and hope and possibility of youth that this movie so poignantly conveys.

ARBITRAGE Richard Gere stars in this suspense thriller as a financial wheelerdealer in way over his head trying to unload his business, conceal his infidelity from his wife, and cover up an inconvenient crime before his empire comes crashing down. Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling, and Tim Roth co-star for writerturned-director Nicholas Jarecki. (R) 100 minutes. END OF WATCH Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena star as LAPD partners, patrolling the men streets of South Central Los Angeles in this gritty sliceof-life cop drama that plunges the viewer into the midst of the action via surveillance cameras, video footage, and various other hand-held devices. Anna Kendrick and America Ferrera co-star for director David Ayer (Training Day). (R) 109 minutes. FRANKENWEENIE Tim Burton revisits the short he made back in film school in this stop-motion, black-and-white, 3D animated feature about a boy and his (recently deceased) dog. In an homage to James Whale's classic Frankenstein, young Victor sews the pooch back together and reanimates him in his basement lab. Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau, and Winona Ryder provide guest voices. (PG) 87 minutes. HOPE SPRINGS A wonderfully underplayed gem. Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones are the long-married couple who venture off to an intensive, weeklong couples retreat in hopes of recapturing the sizzle their relationship once had. Streep is stellar here; Jones even better as her reluctant husband. The film is believable and embraceable.. Steve Carrell co-stars as a famous couples therapist in this comedy from David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada). (PG13) 100 minutes. (★★★) —Greg Archer

F Showtimes for Fri 10/12 – Thur 10/18/12

monster's ball in this animated family comedy about a plush resort run by Count Dracula where monsters can get away from pesky humans and relax. But trouble brews when an ordinary guy accidentally comes across the hotel and falls for the count's daughter. Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, and Steve Buscemi head the voice cast. Genndy Tartakovsky directs. (PG) 92 minutes.

THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET Jennifer Lawrence stars in this supernatural thriller as a teenage girl who moves into a new house with her single mom (Elisabeth Shue), where they are drawn into the nasty vibe of the sinister house next door. Max Thieriot and Gil Bellows co-star for director Mark Tonderai. (PG-13) 101 minutes.

THE MASTER While it seems to have its own wildly original vitality at first, it's soon clear that filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson is relying on powerhouse acting to distract the audience away from the lack of substance or meaning or plot in his script. Alcoholic postwar lost soul Joaquin Phoenix and imperious nutball cult leader Philip Seymour Hoffman spend over two hours engaged in a bizarre danse macabre that fails to drive the movie anywhere. (Only Jonny Greenwood's jittery, propulsive music provides an illusion of dramatic intensity.) Once they meet, that's it for story development. The rest is skilful tracking shots, elaborate vistas (in 70mm), and improbable details, all adding up to not much. (R) 137 minutes. (★★) Lisa Jensen

LIBERAL ARTS Maybe you can't go back to college again. Whether or not you should want to is the driving force that propels Josh Radnor's thoughtful, funny comedy, as the ferment of campus life, with all its drama, romance, and terror, is re-examined by a 35year-old protagonist who's still having a hard time coming of age. Radnor also stars as a man returning to his smalltown alma mater for the retirement party of a favorite prof who falls for a poised, 19-year-old coed (the persuasive Elizabeth Olsen) while succumbing to the idealism of his own lost youth. Within this simple storyline, Radnor crafts an elegant, witty, and recognizably real meditation on growing

up, letting go, and self-discovery. (Not rated) 97 minutes. (★★★) —Lisa Jensen.

LOOPER Joseph Gordon-Levitt continues do no wrong in the roles he takes on lately. In this futuristic timewarp thriller he morphs into a hitmam for the mob. His job: eliminate “Loopers” like himself when their allotted time comes to an end and they must be sent back in time to get murdered. (His next target is himself, which sends the plot sailing in wild directions, of course.) It does bring up the question: Why not just eliminate the Loopers in the future instead of sending them back in time? (Time travel is such a bitch, anyway.) There would be no reason to watch this mindbending and, at times, gripping caper if the plot unfolded that way. But for all of its loopy plot points, the film can’t keep you stimulated or invested all of the time. Best bets: the acting, surprisingly. Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels co-star for director Rian Johnson (Brick). That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the film develops a cult following. (R) 108 minutes. 137 minutes. (★★1/2) Greg Archer

MOONRISE KINGDOM This could be Wes Anderson’s (Rushmore; Fantastic Mr. Fox) to date. it’s a quriky little love story revolving around two 12-year-olds and boy, does it have a lot of heart. Set in 1965 in a sleepy New England coastal community, the two young ones run off together. Meanwhile, the entire town is tossed into an upheaval trying to find them. Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, and Jason Schwartzman all co-star. Willis plays the island cop; Norton a troubled scout master and Murray/McDormand the young girl’s mother. Newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward so beautifully inhabit their roles that you don’t want them to leave the screen. Anderson also co-

wrote this outing, which, could turn into one of the summer’s more memorable offerings. (PG-13) 97 minutes. (★★★1/2)—Greg Archer.

THE ORANGES This adult comedy charts the repercussions among two neighbor families in suburban New Jersey and their twenty-something daughters when one daughter embarks on a romance with an older friend of her parents. Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Allison Janney, Leighton Meeser, and Adam Brody star for director Julian Farino. (R) 90 minutes.

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (Reviewed this issue) Logan Lehrman, Emma Watson (from the Harry Potter franchise) and Ezra Miller (We Need To Talk About Kevin) team up in Stephen Chbosky's adaptation of his cult novel about an introverted high school freshman still reeling from the suicide of his best friend who falls in with a couple of arty nonconformist seniors. (PG-13) 103 minutes.

SAMSARA Ron Fricke and filmmaking partner Mark Magidson (Baraka) are back with another breathtaking, if at times uneven visual tone poem on who we are and how we live in the world. Shot over five years, in twenty-five countries on five separate continents, it was also shot entirely on 70 mm film, which means the images are captured with astonishing clarity, color, and nuance. As long as Fricke sticks to the natural world—steaming volcanoes, vast drifting deserts of sand or canyons of snow—or contemplates the inanimate majesty of, say, ancient ruins, his results are literally awesome. It's only when he succumbs to the urge to over-editorialize his images (either with staged sequences or obvious juxtapositions) that the movie's spell is broken. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (★★1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

SLEEPWALK WITH ME Real-life stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia cowrote, co-directed and stars in this inventive narrative comedy about an aspiring stand-up comic who also—you guessed it—sleepwalks thanks to a sleep disorder. But there’s so much more to this amusing tale than that as he comes to term with what direction to take his life—on all levels. Lauren Ambrose also stars,. while battling an increasingly intrusive—and metaphorical—sleep disorder. (Not rated) 90 minutes (★★★) —Greg Archer

17 20 12

When faced with the task of crafting an original dance performance, The 418 Project’s 2012 Next Frontier Artist, Juliebeth Ingraham, decided to honor her father’s legacy. Before he died in July, he advised her to courageously live every precious moment. That advice is the foundation for “3 Weeks: My Father’s Last Dance,” which will debut at The 418 Project on Oct. 12. The performance integrates dance, music and song into a story about the living and dying, caregivers and the patient, humanity and treatment. Ingraham’s choreography skillfully portrays the moments in which humanity triumphs in a world that can get swept up in sterilization, chemotherapy, surgery, and medications. Anyone who has been touched by the experience of terminal illness won’t want to miss this meaningful reflection on the fragility of life. | JB
