Shut Out and Shutdown The foreseeable impact on IE and what is really going on By Alex Distefano

We are now entering the second week of a partial Federal Government shutdown, which has no apparent end in sight. The last Federal Government shutdown was 17 years ago, under President Clinton. This time around, the political stalemate is behind the shutdown. On Oct. 1, the Democrats and Republicans in Congress could not come to any sort of compromise, and failed to reach agreement to fund federal agencies, shutting down all non-essential agencies and services. The political quarrel that led to this shutdown stems from a disagreement over President Obama’s health care initiative, the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare. But, what exactly does this Federal shutdown mean, and more importantly how will it affect residents of the Inland Empire? It is estimated that the shutdown has affected almost 800,000 workers in various Federal Government agencies, which include NASA, The National Weather Service and The Departments of Education and Interior. Since our elected officials in the Federal Government have not reached an

agreement yet, the country has no money to pay for non-essential government services, including National Parks and other government agencies such as the EPA and Small Business Administration, among others. However, the U.S. Postal Service is not affected by the shutdown, and all Federal courts will operate for another week, before things become uncertain, depending on how long the shutdown lasts. Local leaders in the IE were not hesitant to voice their opinions on the shutdown and its implications on economy. Rep. Mark Takano (D-Riverside) was most blunt when he said the ordeal was a ‘fiasco.’ He told the local news organization Patch that the shutdown has the potential to impact services that families rely on in the IE and all over the country. Takano, whose “Takano’s District” also includes Perris and Moreno Valley, said that the resolution, which would end the shutdown and provide funding for government operations, is being used as a “bargaining chip that the ‘Tea Party wing of the Republican Party’ in an attempt to sideline Obama Care.” Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Palm Desert) also was

BEAVER COLLECTIONS— IT’S A THING There are people outside of the United States whose weird traditions and ways of life put America’s 500-pound people to shame. Images of the elongated “giraffe women” of Burma and cat-copters are way more inspiring to the ingenuity and bizarre habits of humans. But the IE has a few of its own quaint oddities, like Betty Davis from Redlands. She’s being mentioned in the newest Ripley’s Believe It or Not! book, Dare to Look! for her collection of 600 different beaver related items and memorabilia, which has taken about four decades to amass. After being inspired by a woman in San Jacinto whose cow collection earned her a place in the 2012 Guiness World Book of Records, Davis decided to start documenting all of her Beaver related items, according to Redlands Daily Facts. It took about a week to count her collection of stuffed animals, ornaments, lawn chairs, knicknacks (none of which are duplicates). The animal section of this newest Ripley’s installment also featured a farmer and his herd of 5,000 ducks and a skateboarding opossum. The more you know! IE

stern in his opposition to the shutdown and the inability to come to a compromise. “It’s time for Republicans and Democrats to work together to pass a bipartisan bill that ensures our recovering economy continues to grow, that our troops in combat continue to receive pay, and that our veterans and seniors continue to receive critical benefits they earned. I stand ready to work with my colleagues in both political parties toward that end,” he told Patch. Local reports in the Press Enterprise show a clear impact in the Inland Empire, specifically relating to the Small Business Administration. Last week, the IE was to host two public forums on economic issues, which were canceled, since the experts and speakers included members of the federal agency. The shutdown also has clear implications at a local level. Unfortunately, the San Bernardino National Forest’s public facilities including visitor centers are closed. The U.S. Forest Service is closed, aside from essential services such as firefighters and law enforcement personnel in case of emergency or natural disasters. On Oct.

1, when the shutdown went into effect, the U.S. Forest Service, including the San Bernardino National Forest was ordered to close down all non essential services, according to Patch. Despite this—according to Felisa Cardona, a spokesperson for the County— San Bernardino has yet to see any drastic changes or negative consequences from this shutdown. Cardona said that at this point, San Bernardino has not been in touch with neighboring counties in the Inland Empire regarding the shutdown. “We haven’t had contact because we haven’t had any county essential services affected yet,” she said. “Because of this, it is hard to quantify the impact to the region.” Cardona told the Weekly that there was no way of telling when this will end, and if it goes on long enough more aspects of our government will be affected. “A federal shutdown can’t go on indefinitely without impacting all government,” she told the Weekly. “But for now, San Bernardino County, as a government, hasn’t had any significant impact that we can measure.” IE

I can’t help but wonder what’s taking so long for the govt. officials to figure out how to fix whatever they’re mad about. So what’s the holdup? According to CNN, House Republicans insist any new spending bill include provisions to defund, derail or otherwise chip away at Obamacare. Senate Democrats are just as insistent that it doesn’t. How is Obamacare tied to the spending bill, you ask? “The health care law isn’t directly tied to funding the government, but it’s being used as a bargaining chip. A group of Republicans believe the president’s signature domestic policy achievement is so bad for the country that it is worth disrupting government funding to undercut it.” What are some of the objections to Obamacare? “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the actual name of the law, requires all Americans to have health insurance. Opponents say it’ll hurt employers and amounts to overreach by the federal government. Some have also criticized the medical device tax that’s part of the law, saying that by imposing such a tax, it’s basically sending jobs overseas.” What’s the Democrats’ defense? “They say the law will expand access to health care and help rein in the rising costs of coverage. Obamacare prevents those with pre-existing medical conditions from being denied health insurance, and proponents say those who have health insurance will no longer have to indirectly pay for those who show up in emergency rooms uninsured.” Isn’t there another matter—some sort of debt ceiling? “Ah yes, that’s the next battle brewing.

Remember that time when you maxed out your credit card? That’s what the debt limit is all about. The U.S. is on the verge of maxing out its $16.699 trillion credit card. And the president must ask Congress to raise the country’s credit limit. But the debt ceiling debacle won’t come to a head until next week. Perhaps it’s best to deal with one showdown at a time.” So, can Congress agree on anything, CNN? “The House and Senate did agree on one thing. They finalized legislation last week to keep paying troops in the event of a shutdown. So we won’t be targeted in a military capacity for now.”

Who are these people that vote on the sexiest man or woman alive? I’d like to meet them. For the second time, Scarlett Johansson has been awarded the title of “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire mag. She previously won the honor in 2006. The Lost in Translation star, 28, who was married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and just got engaged to journalist Romain Dauriac, is the first woman to be named sexiest twice by the magazine, which hits newsstands Oct. 15. “What I want to do right now is sleep late, read the paper,” she told Esquire of her busy 2013, including movies such as “Don Jon” about a porn addict and a stint on Broadway in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Yeah, okay. We’re not arguing with you, Esquire, we just don’t quite understand why this matters to the world. You want a cookie, Scarlett? A blue ribbon saying you’ve got big boobs and you’re the bestest— everyone else sucks? Okay. Fair enough. IE

News of the LEAD STORY

BY Gustavo Arellano

Weird

A few still-primitive cultures inexplicably celebrate such female adornments as the stacking of metal neck rings and the inserting of saucer-size disks into pierced earlobes. For “civilized” society, there is the annual Paris Fashion Week in September, when renowned designers outfit brave, otherwise-gorgeous models in grotesque clothing. Among the ensembles witnessed by a New York Times critic this year: a hat resembling steroid-enhanced stalks of peas; a shoe appearing to sprout twig-studs; “a flexible cage covered in doughnuts of black satin”; and a pillow clutch with (for some reason) its own porthole.

RECURRING THEMES

- News of the Weird first reported successful “stool implants” among family members in 2007 (to cure infections such as C. difficile by introducing the donor’s “good” microbes to overcome an imbalance of “bad” bacteria in a relative’s intestine). In 2012, however, two University of California, Davis, neurosurgeons boldly extended the cutting-edge treatment for three patients with a highly malignant brain tumor unresponsive to treatment. The doctors tried infusing bowel bacteria directly into the tumor, but the patients died, nonetheless. Although the patients had given fully informed consent, the school in August 2013 pressured Drs. J. Paul Muizelaar and Rudolph Schrot to resign for having violated internal and FDA procedures. It is well known that hospitals charge for medical supplies far in excess of what the products would cost at drugstores, but an August New York Times investigation of “saline drips” vividly demonstrated the disconnect. Though Medicare reimburses $1.07 for a 1-liter plastic bag of saltwater (supplied by a subsidiary of Morton Salt), White Plains (N.Y.) Hospital charged patients’ insurance companies like Aetna $91 per bag. Other hospitals decline to charge per-bag, listing only “IV therapy” of, for example, $787 for hooking up the drip. From the world’s cosmeticsurgery capital (South Korea, where one woman in five has had at least one procedure) comes the “Smile Lipt” offered by Aone Plastic Surgery in the city of Yongin, designed to produce a permanent smile (associated with success). The Smile Lipt turns downward-drooping lip corners upward, to allow a persistent smile resembling that of Batman’s nemesis, The Joker. Among the more repugnant paraphilias covered in News of the

Weird is toilet-peeping—men who set up underneath the seats in public outhouses (sometimes wearing a raincoat) and wait for a user to answer nature’s call. In August, Kenneth Enlow, 52, pleaded guilty after a woman found him the month before in a privy in White Water Park in Tulsa County, Okla., “standing with his head and shoulders out of the hole . . . covered in feces,” according to a deputy. Enlow’s initial explanation was that his girlfriend had knocked him unconscious with a tire iron and dumped him there. Patients with gargantuan tumors, but intimidated by the cost of treatment, create the possibility that by the time they can afford an operation, the tumor itself will be heavier than the post-surgery patient. A 63-year-old man in Bakersfield, Calif., finally had surgery in August, after 14 years’ waiting during which his set of tumors grew to 200 pounds. Bakersfield surgeon Vip Dev noted that the sprawled tumors dragged the floor when the man sat and that the surgery was complicated by the patient’s shape, which could not be accommodated by the hospital’s MRI and CT scan machines. In 2010, Chinese agencies stepped up “birth tourism” packages for rich pregnant women to book vacations in America timed to their due dates—to exploit the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of citizenship to anyone born here and thus giving the Chinese children future competitive advantages against nonAmericans who must apply for U.S. visas. A September USA Today report indicated that more Chinese mothers now prefer to land in the U.S. territory of Northern Mariana Islands (where birth also bestows citizenship), to the consternation of Islands officials, who would prefer traditional Chinese tourists instead of the “birthers.” (Historians agree that the 14th Amendment birth right was aimed at assuring citizenship for freed slaves.)

UPDATES

At Hong Kong’s traditional “Hungry Ghost” festival in August, in which people burn fake money on top of ancestors’ graves to support their afterlife styles, a weaker economy and inflation seem to have upped the ante for the gifts. An August Wall Street Journal dispatch noted that the denominations of burnable “currency” sold in stores have appreciated, including one “valued” at one trillion Hong Kong dollars (US$130 billion). (Some festival-goers asked, sensibly, about how the ancestor could expect change from such a bill if he needed to make a small afterlife purchase.)

¡ASK A

MEXICAN! Dear Readers: The Mexican is taking the week off because his home paper is preparing our fantabulous Best Of issue (download the Best of App, por favor, which also gets you access to my sister papers!). Behold, then, an oldie-but-goodie column that Art Laboe would approve of—enjoy! Dear Mexican: A friend says she read somewhere that only 20 percent of Mexican men go down on their ladies. I don’t believe that. Can you “spread” some light on the subject? El Gabacho Guapo Dear Handsome Gabacho: Let me penetrate the thrust of your friend’s argument by referring her to the seminal The International Encyclopedia of Sexuality, a set of studies on the world’s sex habits gathered into one grande book. Its section on Mexico cites two surveys from the early 1990s that found about 50 percent of men in Mexico City practiced oral sex on women—more than twice the number your friend laid out. In fact, the Mexican hombre’s taste for cunnilingus grows once he hops over to the United States: a 2002 report by the National Center for Health Statistics showed that 74 percent of Latino men had performed cunnilingus at least once in their life. However, that percentage is dwarfed by the 87 percent of gabachos questioned by the NCHS who admitted to doing the deed. The Mexican holds various theories about why his swarthy hermanos aren’t as prone to panocha pecking as gabachos: traditional Mexican men don’t bother with cunnilingus since it doesn’t lead to procreation; Mexican women are too ashamed of their bodies to allow a male tongue near their hoo-ha; Mexico’s endemic machismo produces a culture in which vagina dentata is as feared as la migra. But forget explanations. The

paucity of Mexican men who munch muff is an urgent social ill and I urge all mujeres to remedy the problem by nabbing a Mexican and taking an orgasm in the name of La Raza.. What do you think will happen to the gringos if Mexicans become the biggest raza in America, like a lot of people predict? El Mex de Durango Dear Gabacho: That’s the 64,000-peso question, Mex. Demographics show that Mexican birth rates grow even as those of gabachos fall. The Jim Gilchrists of this country predict chaos and a goat in every backyard once there are more Mexicans than gabachos; proamnesty activists claim Mexicans will assimilate into this country’s fabric just as previous immigrant groups did. I’m among the latter, and propose we’ll be the most American ethnic group yet. Taking historical cues from our gabacho forefathers, Mexicans will ridicule English speakers and dismiss them as lazy minorities with funny-sounding surnames and traditions. We’ll do what gabachos were always too pussy to try—take over Mexico—and create a true NAFTA, bringing further riches to the United States and ending the illegal immigration problem for good. Then, we’ll become too complacent and fat and gabacho swill plot the takeover of their ancestral lands by having more babies and agitating for affirmative action and Gabacha/o Studies programs. What’s the moral of the story? Protect your children’s future, gabachos. Treat Mexicans well and encourage their simpático ways. Otherwise, we might just become Americans.

Once Upon A Time

For those unfamiliar with Warpaint, the best place to start is at the beginning of its catalog. For Warpaint, this means turning your ears towards the band’s dark and shoegazey 2009 EP, Exquisite Corpse. Although it had taken the girls five years to build up to this release, most would agree that it was very much worth the wait. The record featured six songs of some of the dreamiest, ethereal indie rock to come out of Los Angeles in years and was a dynamic first release for the group. The record featured appearances by the band’s first drummer, actress Shannon Marie Sossamon (Wristcutters: A Love Story, The Rules Of Attraction) as well as later drummers David Orlando (most well known as DJ Boss Harmony at local events Dub Club and Punky Reggae Party) and Josh Klinghoffer who now

IEWEEKLY.com | OCTOBER 10 - OCTOBER 16, 2013

plays guitar for the world famous Red Hot Chili Peppers. In addition to their array of talented percussionists, the record also featured an incredible mixing job by former Chili Peppers guitar player and incredible solo artist John Frusciante. When asked what they felt they took away from working with Frusciante so early on, Kokal muses, “His attention to detail and warmth, the way he listens to music and the way he feels music.” She continues, “I always call him ‘The Defense Attorney For Music’ because he just represents music. I think that his integrity and that beautiful relationship and respect for music was a powerful thing for us to see, experience and be around. We definitely still try to retain that same kind of integrity and respect for the value of what we’re doing,” she says. Although there is a certain sparseness in the production of Exquisite Corpse, that

would be filled out in later recordings, the EP still continues to stand as a testament to the band’s prowess from their earliest points. As good as Exquisite Corpse was, Warpaint saved their real power for their official debut, which came in the form of 2010’s,

it’s been able to sustain them. It’s been almost three years exactly since The Fool came out and Warpaint, without having released another piece of music, have only seen its reputation and fan base grow and flourish. However, something that all new and old appreciators of the band’s music are looking forward to at this point is the promise of a new record.

The Fool. Where Exquisite Corpse, at times, seemed to catch a band in the midst of transition through an array of drummers and composed of songs written at various points in the band’s formative years, The Fool was a focused musical statement that captured the true vision of the band with all of the necessary production to make its idea fully formed. With drummer Stella Mozgawa locked in as a permanent fixture of the band only weeks before recording, Warpaint finally had the solid rhythmic foundation in place to truly perfect its sound upon. Soundscapes an d textural sonic webs permeated all nine tracks with a warm base that seemed to wrap you up like a comfortable, hand-knit blanket. The dusky, shadowy energy of their first release was still there, but subtler and a bit more evolved than on the EP. Most noticeably of all, the full breadth of the album was astonishing with a near perfect song order that gave the record ebbs and flows as natural and perfect as the ocean’s tides. While many of their peers in Los Angeles were building sounds more connected to the bright, endless summer attitudes of many in their city. Warpaint’s The Fool established the band as ones drawing on the city’s feel after the sun has gone down. There’s fun and free-spiritedness in the record, but there’s also and underlying darkness, that’s as haunting as it is captivating, much like the city’s streets at twilight. One might be able to gauge just how strong Exquisite Corpse and The Fool are as records, by how long

All 4 One and One 4 All

When asked about the title for the record, Emily Kokal teases, “The title is . . . not quite yet, I think we know what it is but I’m not quite sure so . . . I won’t say that yet.” However, when it comes to the release date as well as how the new material is going to be debuted, things are bit more definite, “The release date, I think, is January 20th,” says Kokal. “And a single, and some other stuff is going to be trickling out between next month and the end of the year,” she says. To further sweeten the pot, the ladies of Warpaint enlisted none other than Flood aka Mark Ellis to produce the new record. With credits to his name as big as U2’s Zooropa, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ The First Born Is Dead, Depeche Mode’s Violator, Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral, The Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, and several PJ Harvey records, one cannot stress the potential of the new Warpaint album being nothing short of a masterpiece. “He’s made amazing albums while preserving the integrity of the band and the sound,” explains Kokal, “he’s not somebody who puts his very specific way of doing things on an album and we’d heard that. Just based on PJ Harvey’s last two albums and the fact that she’s evolved so much through her career and he’s been along the ride with her; if we were going to work with anybody, we wanted to work with somebody who had those kinds of values.” In addition to employing Flood to produce, the new record marks another milestone in

Warpaint’s career thus far, the new record will be the first that all four members of the band work on from start to finish. With previous records, especially when it came to the drums, most songs, except those with Shannon Sossamon, were recorded by drummers playing or re-interpreting a previous drummer’s material. The new record will be the first with same drummer present during the writing of the songs is also present on the recordings. “When Stella joined the band, she joined the band thirty days before we made The Fool,” explains Kokal, “and so as much as Stella had joined the band we were ‘a band,’ we had never really written with her.” In an effort to make sure that the newest member of the band was fully included in the writing process, all four girls secluded themselves in a dome house that they converted into a demo room in Joshua Tree for several weeks to write. “The goal was just to go for three or four weeks and just write, jam out and feel what comes,” says Kokal. She continues, “we had some ideas we were working on and we just wanted to get away from everything and be together.” The inclusion of Mozgawa was important as it’s become clear that her presence in what made the band whole, Kokal explains, “We’ve really learned to play together so much from being on tour, we became a band, more-so, after The Fool came out than

before. We wanted to take advantage of all that time we’d spent together playing those songs, doing the little bits of writing we had done, and becoming a cohesive unit.” Outside of the good fortune of being able to write together, without a final product to listen to, it’s hard to speculate as to what type of evolution the new Warpaint album will capture. However, Emily stresses that one of the big differences will be a specific attention to the subtle sounds and instrumentation in their recordings that add up to make a tune even more lush and expansive, “We all listen to a lot of hip hop, R&B, electronic music, ambient music, and all of these kinds of subtleties of sound and soundscapes. So one thing that did happen,

was that naturally, there were a lot more synthesizers and drum machine type instruments brought into the scenario and we kind of got away from the two guitars, bass and drums vibe and we have a lot more dimension to the instruments being played and the sonics that are happening.”

Brightness and Contrast

With a new album almost in the bag and a huge tour underway, there are a lot of things to get excited about. Fans attending its headlining shows, like the one at The Glass House, should be even more excited as the band promises a longer set than their festival engagements. “For Pomona and the El Rey, those shows will be longer than the festival so they’ll probably be about 40 percent new and 60 percent old; maybe a bit more old,” Emily thinks aloud, “We might try to re-learn and go over some of the stuff we’ve just written, a lot of the songs we’ve just recorded we haven’t necessarily figured out live so we might try to throw a couple more of those in.” One thing’s for certain, although the band’s music has always been beautifully

dark, the future for War paint seems to brimming with brightness. Those lucky enough to catch it on this tour will only be getting a small taste of what’s in store.

Say True

POSITIVELY MAD The Mad Caddies are finally back— we’ve missed the madness By Dan MacIntosh

MEMBERS: Donavan Foy (singer/songwriter), Gabe Rodriguez (guitar), Brandon Lancaster (guitar), Judcody Limon (bass) and Taylor Garcia (drums). CITIES OF ORIGIN: Ontario, Upland and Corona. KINDERED SPIRITS: “There are too many to list, but some all-time favorites would have to include The Cure, early U2, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Radiohead, The Smiths and The Afghan Whigs.” RECENT RELEASES: Monument, E.P. (June 2013). WEBSITES: www.saytruemusic.com. FREQUENTS: “The Wire in Upland is our home base. It’s also where the E.P. was recorded, and we’re playing there on Oct. 12.” Say True is a phrase used in The Dark Tower series by Stephen King that inspires this band named after it. Singer/songwriter Donavan Foy loves the sound of the phrase and the implications that come with being “true.” Being true to yourself, true to others, true to your word, true to your beliefs and so on; we all should “say true” to something. So whether you’re all about honesty with others or believe that everyone should live life being who they are and without fear of judgment, you’ll find Say True’s lyrics close to your heart. This indie/rock project may have been created just to kill some time, but it quickly turned into a full-fledged band, and a force to be reckoned with.

Foy: It is kind of a concept album about being young (specifically in a small Midwest town, but also just about youth in general) and the feelings and situations of that point in your life. I (probably along with many others) was in such a rush to grow up, to move on, to get out of town that I didn’t appreciate what/who/where I was to the fullest. The Colorado National Monument is on the outskirts of the town I grew up in and as teenagers; we would go up there often. I have a lot of good memories in that particular place and I also felt like this album commemorates the emotions and events of an important part of life.

How did you get involved in music/how did your band form? Donavan Foy: It started as songs I was writing when I was playing drums for The Ready Aim Fire! When we broke up, I recorded the E.P. with long-time friends Dave Trautz (of The Ready Aim Fire!) and drummer Mike Jimenez (of Science Fiction Theater/Rufio). Once it was recorded, I decided I wanted to make it into an actual band and my good friends/ former band mates were kind enough to hop on board.

What are some of your favorite artists you’ve shared the stage with? Foy: This is only the second show for this band, but we’ve been lucky enough to play on shows with all bands that we are close friends with, which has been really fun. In the past, I am honored to have shared the stage with several of my musical heroes including John Nolan (of Taking Back Sunday), Mansions, PlayRadioPlay, Jim Ward (of At The Drive-In, Sparta, and Sleepercar) and Farewell Continental (Justin Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack).

How would you describe your sound to someone that’s never heard you before? Foy: I’ve gotten so many comparisons to different bands/genres/time periods that it’s kind of hard to say. I think the underlying theme of the feedback I’ve gotten [is] that it has a nostalgic, young and hopeful feel to it, regardless of who it’s being compared to. What’s the inspiration behind the Monument E.P.?

What about the IE intrigues you? Foy: I like living here in the IE and being based out of here because it feels so much more like a small town community than one big city and its outskirts, even though it spans a huge area. The way that people act and interact is different, and I appreciate that sense of community. (Derek Obregon) IE

By the time Mad Caddies reach Riverside on October 23, it might finally have some new tunes to play. These fresh songs will be taken from the band’s first full-length album since 2007’s Keep It Going. The Mad Caddies are still keeping “it going” in the studio, after a slight interruption. “Since we started in 1995,” explains singer Chuck Robertson, “and started touring in 1997, we’d never really taken any time off. It was kind of just tour, tour, tour, and then release a record, and tour. And after 13 years of that, everybody just needed to take a little break and kind of work on other musical projects. We kind of just took a three-year hiatus. We were still playing a handful of shows every year. But we were just kind of taking a step back. Now we’re coming back to it.” This ska group, which also mixes in punk, swing, reggae, jazz, Latin music and even touches of polka, cow punk and even sailor songs into its unique stew, has already put a lot of time into its sixth LP. “We’ve worked a little over a year on it,” Robertson explains. “We’ve cycled through over 100 song ideas and were doing a lot of demoing in our studio. We now have a collection of about 15 or 20 songs that we’re really happy with.” Although the group has not yet named this forthcoming album, Robertson was still able to describe how it will sound. “It’s rhythm-driven and music to dance to,” he relates, “but you’re probably not going to hear any super hardcore punk or really aggressive stuff on there like some of our more angst filled younger days. It’s definitely more of a groove thing.” This latest album will once again be released on Fat Wreck Chords, and will most likely drop the first week of February. Fat Wreck Chords is Mike (aka Fat Mike) Burkett’s label. In addition to singing for NOFX, Burkett’s label has released music by Descendents, Rise Against, Against Me! and Anti-Flag, in addition to Mad Caddies. “We’re close with Mike, on a friendship level, as well as a business relationship with the owner of the label,” Robertson says. “We’ve always appreciated his opinion when it comes to production on the album, and he came down for a couple of days and threw his two cents in.” Robertson believes there are still a lot of

ska fans out there, even though he wouldn’t use the word “ska” alone to describe what his band does. “I don’t necessarily consider the Mad Caddies a ska band,” he asserts. “I mean, we definitely started out that way; but we kind of ended up more now as an eclectic rock band that also plays ska and reggae and stuff like that. I think there’s a large audience for it [ska] and actually there’s a big resurgence in younger people that are, maybe, tired of the ‘slit my wrist music,’ or don’t want to hear the hardcore metal or anything like that, but are just looking for more of a positive experience.” Although the Mad Caddies may throw together a widely varying collection of different musical styles whenever it performs live, the one common denominator is that it’s mostly music to dance to. “We say the Mad Caddies are a party band. You come to dance and have fun and to forget about the crap in everyday life and just let loose and have a party,” Robertson explains. The group’s dedication to simply having fun even extends to some of the unusual cover songs it may work into its set. “We have a cover of ‘S.O.S.’ by the Swedish pop group Abba,” says Robertson. Although the Mad Caddies might be known to transform Black Sabbath songs into reggae tunes now and again, they don’t exactly reggae-fy Abba. “It’s kind of a rock and roll version. We made it more aggressive, and more of a hard rock version of it.” You might think such a cover is some snarky attempt at an ironic gesture. But you’d be wrong on that count. “I’m a big fan of Abba,” notes Robertson, “those guys created an amazing songbook of, in my opinion, pop perfection. It’s good music to sing along to.” Robertson is always excited to perform live because playing gives him a rush like nothing else. “It’s a feeling only people who perform can get,” he attempts to explain. “It’s similar to catching that perfect wave or having a great run down a ski hill. The natural endorphins it produces in the body, there’s nothing like it.” IE Mad Caddies at UCR’s The Barn, 900 University Ave., Riverside, (951) 827-1012; www.rside.ucr.edu/barnseries.

ARTs & Culture

Erratic Impulses The artistic strength of San Bernardino By Joy Shannon

Artwork by Nao Yamamoto

Separate and Not Equal by Humberto Reynoso

“Transduction: Eight as One,” an exhibition highlighting the diverse works of eight CSUSB Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art and Design students, is currently on display at the National Orange Show Art Gallery in San Bernardino from September 28 through October 26. Featuring a variety of media including painting, sculpture, photography, glass, ceramics, video and installation art, the artworks of this show confront themes of cultural heritage and personal identity, as well as playing with pop-culture imagery. This show in particular, showcases the conceptual strength of the MFA program at CSUSB and the school’s ability to foster the diverse talents of its graduate students. Every one of the artist’s works featured is a unique and well-thought out body of work from the painting of William Christensen, the bold photography of Mayte Escobar and Humberto Reynoso, the video and audio installation work of Andrew K. Thompson; mixed media work of Jay Dawes, Price Hall, A.E. Van Fleet and the sculptural glasswork of Nao Yamamoto. Many of the artists represented in this show confront cultural concepts of identity. William Christensen’s expressionistic, angst-ridden paintings tackle pop culture icons of super heroes in order to confront struggles with the male gender role. Christensen’s work cunningly responds to Roy Lichtenstein’s famous damsels in distress, by displaying men in a “gilded blend of bravado and excellence” who are really in distress underneath the surface. Mayte Escobar’s photography and video work confront her Mexican American cultural heritage. For example, her 2013 video installation Chips and Salsa, combined imagery of Folklorico dance, agriculture and classic Mexican music in order to create a reflective meditation upon the “consumption of Mexican culture.” Additionally, Escobar creates tiled mosaic photo portraits which play with the colors of the American and Mexican flags in the Mexican American Sequence. In step with Escobar’s confrontation of the self-identity, Humberto Reynoso uses his photography to boldly face homosexual stereotypes, gender theories and gay politics. Creating

absolutely gorgeous work which unabashedly displays sensuality, Reynoso is fearlessly carrying on the torch of such artists as Robert Mapplethorpe and Felix GonzalesTorres. The mixed media work of both Jay Dawes and A.E. Van Fleet combine layers of pop culture imagery to create personally reflective pieces. The twodimensional work of Jay Dawes are comprised of, at times, both playful and reflective collages which harken back to the pop culture collage work of Richard Hamilton, with some of the surrealism of Max Ernst’s famous collages. A.E. Van Fleet’s work makes three-dimensional assemblage altarpiece shrines out of subculture junk. With mixed media pieces like Devil Inside (2013), he elevates pop subculture imagery to some mysterious and mystical cult significance. Wittily responding to cultural norms, Andrew K. Thompson creates fascinating audio and video installations which play with language and innuendo. Thompson’s work plays with the implied meanings between the lines of phrases that we culturally understand, without it being explicitly written. Lastly, this show displays the meditative and spiritually reflective works of Price Hall and Nao Yamamoto. Price Hall hand-burns haiku poetry into dyed cardboard, creating moody, introspective pieces. Their dyed texture recalls thick fabric tapestries, yet the zen-like messages of these pieces, in combination with the expanse of a textured and dyed backgrounds, result in what feels like narrated versions of Mark Rothko paintings. Nao Yamamoto creates stunning, delicate and graceful works in glass and fiber. The works are inspired by “the power of life” with references to eggs, seeds, or small bugs, which, when put together, reflect light in many directions. These primal pieces, are reminiscent of the inspiration behind the early 20th century plaster “concretion” sculptures of Jean Arp, yet being in glass, there is a more celestial quality to them. In the end, this show felt true to its name “Transduction.” While the work was immensely diverse in both medium and concept, there seemed to be an energetic through-line that jumped from artist to artist. The essential creativity behind all the work was inspiring to see in one place. IE

FILM

Cool Hand Tom Tom Hanks keeps his head to save the ship in Captain Phillips

CHINO

CINEMARK MOVIES 8 5546 Philadelphia St. (Chino Promenade) (909) 464-1203 www.cinemark.com

By Carl Kozlowski

CHINO HILLS Over the course of his 30-year film career, Tom Hanks has battled AIDS, romanced a mermaid, uncovered the secrets of the Vatican and filled the shoes of a simpleminded man unwittingly present for the most important historical moments of the past 60 years. In all of these roles, Hanks has proven to be the modern-day equivalent of Jimmy Stewart: An “everyman actor” who keeps his cool no matter how dramatic the circumstances. This ability comes in extremely handy in Hanks’ latest film, the fact-based nailbiter Captain Phillips, in which Hanks plays Captain Richard Phillips, who made headlines around the world in spring 2009 after his cargo ship was attacked by Somali pirates and he was taken hostage. By the time of his kidnapping, Phillips had already allowed the pirates to take the lifeboat and $30,000 in cash from the ship’s safe, believing they would leave without harming him or his crew. But the pirates were desperate for a score. Believing they could get as much as $10 million in ransom from the ship’s insurance company if they could just land with the captain on a Somali shore, they made a desperate run for it, even as the U.S. Navy arrived with orders to stop the pirates at all costs. Of course, the ending of Phillips’ ordeal is well known, as a team of Navy SEALS parachuted onto a nearby aircraft carrier and shot and killed the three remaining pirates aboard the lifeboat at the exact same time. But the fact that director Paul Greengrass is able to still make it all feel unpredictable is a testament to the master

craftsmanship of the man behind The Bourne Ultimatum and more aptly, United 93. In that 2006 film, Greengrass places viewers in the middle of a dead-on recreation of one of the most harrowing tragedies in American history—the September 11 terrorist attack on United Airlines Flight 93, in which passengers fought with the terrorists and downed the aircraft in a field outside Shanksville, PA. He used unknown actors in that film as a means of making them just as average as the real-life

passengers who rose to perform acts of heroism that fateful morning. The final result was a film of devastating power, ranking with Schindler’s List and The Passion of the Christ as one of the most disturbing yet meaningful films in the last 20 years. In Captain Phillips, however, Greengrass changes the game plan. Perhaps it’s a concession to the fact that United 93 was too downbeat to become a hit (it earned only $31 million domestically), yet more likely tied to the fact that Phillips has a happier ending and needs an iconic presence to bring the captain’s story to life, but here Greengrass uses Hanks as a human centrifuge around which the rest of the film’s wild events spin. Hanks steps up to the challenge, showing the emotional shifts that Phillips makes from being a tough and cranky boss to a wily negotiator for his own life and ultimately a man who endures unbelievable tension. His performance appears deceptively simple at first, but by the end the two-time Oscar winner pulls out all the stops with a performance that redefines the public perception of his capabilities. Captain Phillips also deserves credit for presenting the pirates as more than mere villains, as writer Billy Ray shows the economic desperation and fierce yet wounded pride that drives these men to steal and kill in the name of a failed state that offers no legal options for survival. As Muse, a scrawny man whose fierce determination and grandiose dreams of wealth make him the de facto leader of the pirates, Barkhad Abdi captures the magic of Greengrass’ casting approach. As he veers between fear that he will never make it beyond a life of daily desperation and a dangerous cockiness that he can steer the situation into making a fortune, Muse is a fearsome sight to behold. Yet the fact that he is an utterly unrecognizable actor to Americans immerses viewers into Phillips’ state of terror, primarily because there are no preconceptions of how he’ll handle the part. Captain Phillips is a long movie, running 134 minutes, and perhaps it could have shaved off 15 minutes from the lifeboat’s scenes of circular arguments among the pirates But the remainder works incredibly well, leaving viewers with a film that races the heart and challenges the mind while creating tension that pays off handsomely without forcing viewers away through grim alienation. For that, Greengrass is to be saluted for guiding this ship on a course toward smart entertainment. IE

MIGHTY FINE It’s not fancy, but Sal & Sons makes amazing Italian cuisine By Allan Borgen Sal & Sons Pizza and Pasta is a neat, family owned pizzeria that offers a variety of salads, sandwiches, pasta and pizzas at very reasonable prices. There is nothing fancy about Sal & Sons. After ordering and paying for your food at the front counter, your food arrives on black plastic plates with plastic utensils but considering the delicious food that is served here, I can live with plastic—and you can too. Owner Vinny Ancona was born into a family that has been in the pizza business for over 40 years and he really knows how to please his loyal customers, (including me) with his unique family recipes. Let’s start with the unique Pepperoni Rolls. This appetizer features eight slices of pepperoni and mozzarella cheese rolled up in pizza dough, baked and sliced into pinwheel shapes. It is simple, delicious and is served with a bold flavored marinara sauce. Then there is the Sicilian Godfather Sandwich, a huge sandwich on a large roll stuffed with slices of capocollo, mortadella, dry Italian salami, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, lettuce tomatoes, onions and Italian dressing. Talk about one huge and delicious sandwich! From the pasta side of the menu, try the Pasta al Diavolo. It’s a nice portion of mostaccioli pasta sautéed in a hot and spicy red cream sauce with sliced Italian sausage (you can also have it with chicken or eggplant). The sauce has a nice spicy kick to it and pairs perfectly with the Italian sausage. Another winning pasta plate is the Angel Hair al Pomodoro, a simple yet delicious combination of angel hair pasta sautéed with olive oil, fresh garlic, basil and tomatoes. It’s a lovely dish that is light and full of wonderful flavors bursting with each mouthful. If you enjoy Lasagna, you must try it here—it’s made with layers of

wide pasta sheets topped with ricotta, mozzarella cheese and smothered with a robust meat sauce (for those vegetarians out there, substitute for a rich marinara sauce instead). All pastas come with garlic bread or house Italian cheese bread. For those pizza lovers out there, the Vinny’s Monster Pizza is a great choice. This hefty creation features slices of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, pineapple, salami, bell peppers, Canadian bacon, tomatoes, onions, sweet crunchy cashews, ground beef with tomato sauce and mounds of mozzarella cheese all topped on tasty mediumthick pizza dough crust. Saying it’s a mouthful is an understatement—but I love this pizza! Next came the unique Pizza Roll, pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella cheese, marinara or meat sauce and your choice of veggies, sausage, pepperoni or just about any other meat they offer. This item is similar to a Stromboli, and is absolutely a show stopper. Another unique item on the menu was the Bread Bowl Salad, a freshly baked bread bowl filled with lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and your choice of one meat and one veggie choice added to the mix. The salad was substantial but I love the idea of the salad as an edible bread bowl and definitely look forward eating it again. In closing, Sal & Sons has amazing affordable prices, delicious homemade food and nice portions, all of these benefits contribute to a great culinary gathering for those yearning for some mighty fine Italian food.

Events to enlighten and strengthen our community are extremely important. That’s why the this year’s candlelight vigil “What Men Can Do to Stop Violence” presented by House of Ruth is meant to encourage men to take an active role in ending the presence of domestic violence in our communities. Attend this event to not only acknowledge and support those that have been affected by domestic violence, but to honor those that have lost their lives. 6pm. Pomona Outreach Center, 599 N.

This weekend, guests are left isolated from the busy world and their everyday demands when they attend this bi-annual celebration. Introducing up-and-coming artists from around the world, a diverse blend of music is offered including jazz, hip-hop, punk and experimental. Two stages in close proximity allow for a continuous flow of musical sets from afternoon to late in the night, giving all musicians a chance to be heard and enjoyed. Created by a group of fun-loving friends, this festival keeps both performers and guests in mind. Free water is available for all, as well as all-day yoga classes and a world market. For children 10 and under, “Kidsville” offers a selection of arts and crafts as well as kids yoga. Campgrounds are offered exclusively for families to relax and enjoy some peace and quite after a long day of fun in the sun. Since this festival is not as big as others, a great sense of community and energy is present, making the 3-day camping trip a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

John Heffron

Thurs, Oct. 10-Sat, Oct. 12 There comes a time in life when you realize that your priorities need to be set straight. Taking risks and reacting instinctively is difficult for many people. But for Michigan-born comedian John Heffron, priority number one was to ditch class in favor of performing stand-up comedy on his college campus. Practicing as a comedian in the Univeristy of Michigan’s Main Street Comedy Showcase led to his famous roles in many comedic mediums. Heffron has appeared on a variety of comedy shows such as Comedy Central Presents, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and won season two of Last Comic Standing. He’s also dabbled in a few VH1 programs, worked in radio, released three comedy albums since 2005 (Good Kid, Bad Adult, The Better Half and Kid With a Cape) and even created a board game aptly called “That Guy Game.” With a slew of talents in the comedy industry, Heffron is a force to be reckoned with. His young days of rambunctious and exicting comedy have passed but he’s graduated to husband; leaving him with endless stories of marriage and it’s ever-lasting relationships between husband and wife. To women, he directs the blatant facts of male-female conversations (men don’t feel that they need to talk much after the first date) and to men, he advises how to hide a trip to the strip club (avoid the stripper who wears glitter). Heffron will unleash many more truths for those who appreciate the hilarious realities of grown-up life. IE Ontario Improv, 4555 Mills Cir., Ontario, (909) 484-5411; ontario.improv.com. Thurs, 8pm.

Beatles vs. Stones: A Musical Shoot Out Sat, Oct. 12

For decades, there’s been one question asked by music fans that no one can seem to agree on . . . Beatles or Stones? Both bands have created numerous hit songs, both were from England and part of the British invasion, and they both changed the music game forever. I would argue that there is not a musician (or even a person alive that likes music) that hasn’t been influenced by at least one song from each one of them. Is one really better than the other? That depends on how you view the bands. The Beatles became America’s favorite band and the nation was literally swept off its feet when “Beatlemania” rolled out of Liverpool in the ‘60s. The songs were catchy and clean with harmonies that melted your heart. Its image was just as polished as its music (until the drug years brought out the Sgt. Peppers era, but even that was still pretty clean). Then you have the Rolling Stones—the bad boys of music. The Stones were pure rock ‘n’ roll mixed with a lot of sexuality. A show by the Stones would always deliver a great performance full of attitude and swagger. The only way to settle this is to make the call for yourself on which tribute band you like more, Abbey Road or Jumping Jack Flash. Let the shoot out begin. (Derek Obregon).

calendar

By Eric Frances

Aries (March 20-April 19) Look closer at what seem to be contradictory demands within a relationship, whether they’re being made on you, or you figure out you’re making them on someone else. This would work in a perfect world where we understand that fidelity and honoring freedom are the same thing. It works less well when those you care about have to compensate for your position, make allowances and ultimately put up with some hypocrisy because they love you. To solve this, listen to what partners and loved ones say about what they need—and take the initiative to provide that. If a request or desire leads you to feel threatened or hemmed in, consider the specifics carefully as they see it, not just as you see it.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) You stand at a crossroads, on a scale that you may not even dare imagine. It’s an inner intersection that joins together where you’ve come from with where you are now, and several potential realities that you have the option to manifest. That sense of impending risk, danger or challenge is a slightly veiled sensation of your potential coming into maturity. This doesn’t necessarily arrive with the promise of how wonderful life will be when you step into a dream. It might arrive with a hint of how daunting it is to confront the truth of your own talent, or the potential to realize a desire. Now the key is to see this as something inside yourself rather than external to you.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) On the outside you appear to be in a “get serious” moment, yet what you’re doing internally is trying to resolve a paradox. You’re likely to see various unconscious patterns show up in your relationships—even things you thought you addressed years ago. The fact that they are showing up now does not mean that you’re back where you started. It means you get a new opportunity to look at them and make a decision about what they mean and whether you want to let them go. The theme once again is who has adult power in your life—and whether you’ve taken this authority in a meaningful way. Look for real things you can do that are designed to get a noticeable, useful result.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) Mercury in your sign is a wakeup call, which means an invitation to use your intelligence. You might be thinking that the mental and emotional challenges you face are beyond your ability to handle them, though this seems to be more about the influence of something from the past rather than a proven truth about who you are right now. How you handle this is a matter of psychological perspective. If you feel overwhelmed, you may be feeling like a child who is being asked to stand up to an adult, or who’s being expected to grow up too young. In a sense that is (or at least was) true, though the ‘adult’ is something that you’ve internalized. One of its messages is that change is impossible. It is indeed when change seems impossible that revolution is the most necessary.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) Don’t overthink a work or healthrelated problem—use your intuition and your creativity. I know there are many jobs and tasks within those jobs that seem routine, seemingly subject to no form of inspiration. There are plenty of bosses who want things done in the most straightforward way. The end product therefore must match what the task requires, but how you get there is your own process. One thing your charts are suggesting is having access to information you might not be in line for, especially with the help of someone in a position of authority. For you who already have considerable responsibility on your hands, the solution may come from someone younger and less experienced who just happens to know something or who can see the problem in a way that it can be solved. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Someone wrote to me recently and said there’s been too much mention of sex in the Cancer horoscope. Sex relates to just about everything, especially the things that people come to astrologers for the most often: money, creativity and relationships. Your chart is becoming increasingly focused on the topic rather than less so. Mercury is now in Scorpio (sex, emotional depth and transformation), which is your 5th solar house (erotic play and creativity). Soon it’s going to be retrograde in that sign, meaning it’s going to spend close to two months in one of the most sensitive regions of your chart. What you think has nothing to do with sex is all about sex. Get ready to learn some things about your past that might surprise you. The most pressing question is: what do you need to feel safe, as a lover, as a member of a family or household, and as a person making your contribution on the planet? In two words, the answer is: no secrets. Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) The astrology of the moment suggests you could get involved in nearly anything with anyone—so use some discernment. The same astrology is also granting you leverage to open doors and the insight to look through situations. It would help if you tuned into the scale of your situation—to see what you’re working with, who and what is influencing you, and who you’re influencing. You seem to be walking a fine line, though you’re on much more solid ground than you may imagine, with many more options than you may think. The main asset I suggest you cultivate is flexibility. Change your routines a little. Travel home a different way than you went someplace. Look from side to side instead of straight ahead. Any one task, project or commitment is concerned, you have many more options than you think. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Think of self-worth as human currency that you can trade for other experiences and opportunities. It is similar to credit in that the ability to ‘pay’ for an experience (which means to come through for yourself, to stand up to a challenge or to learn something that enriches your life) is what keeps you in the game. Allow yourself to experiment with something you think is over your level of talent or ability. Then go for it. I don’t mean to say that all self-esteem is based on what you achieve, but I will say that a significant dimension of it is. Then you allow that to become a life lesson—or said another way, something you learn about yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) I am sure you’ve had the insight that the world would be a happier place if more of us were as interested in what we could contribute to a situation as what we could get out of it. With Jupiter, your ruling planet, coming under focus in Cancer (the sign of nurturing), the question of what you offer and receive in your relationships is a top priority. Jupiter is suggesting that you have a lot to offer, and that at the same time, if you’re open, plenty is coming your way. Yet if you’re feeling resistant to sharing yourself in some way, I would propose that it’s the result of a deeper anxiety: something hinting at your relationship to existence. It’s difficult to get access to the source of this kind of issue and will have increasing access over the next few weeks. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Come on like a storm. Refuse to hesitate, to second guess, to equivocate. Present yourself at full strength and with your full intent. Set your goals, focus on what you want and actively take the steps to get there. Yet make sure everything is presented elegantly, diplomatically and in a way that honors the aesthetics that one might expect under the specific circumstances involved. Yes, there is a way to be radical and tasteful; revolutionarily beautiful. You can say just about anything you want, as long as you say it well, and proofread your copy. You can present any idea you want, as long as you make it easy for people to understand. Perhaps it’s a trick of the mind, or a trick of astrology involving a magnificent Libra event in your chart. What matters is that you will get results, even if you think that’s unlikely. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) There is a spiritual solution to what you’re facing, which is to say that nothing is impossible and nothing is beyond the reach of healing. Yet two things are necessary. One is focusing on your relationship with your inner source, wisdom and intelligence as a higher priority than focusing on a human relationship. Allow the light to work through you, and then stand back and allow it to work through the situation. Ask for a change of perception, that is, to see the situation a different way. I suggest you not focus on the results, but rather on how you see things and how you feel. Your willingness is the essential ingredient. So be willing, state it to yourself out loud, take a breath and know that your next steps are guided. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You may find that unresolved circumstances and hanging questions progress rapidly over the next couple of days. I suggest therefore that you make no investment in what you don’t want, or solving problems that have resisted your best efforts, and focus on affirming what you want. Emphasize the positive, and people who keep you in a life-affirming state of mind, if only to increase your chances of feeling good. If you find yourself resisting something, focus on something that is easier, more fun or more personally relevant. I would remind you of one other thing: you may be the missing presence in any situation that requires a catalyst, spiritual boost or infusion of energy. This is about what you do and more about the fact that you show up with an open mind and consciously choose to allow the situation to unfold.

Protesting militarism and poverty by serving free vegetarian food to people in need, and in support of ongoing political organizing efforts. FNB believes that by giving away free food to people in need in public spaces, they directly dramatize the level of hunger in this country and the surplus of food being wasted. They also call attention to the failure of society to support those within it—choosing instead to fund the forces of war and

violence. They are committed to the use of nonviolent direct action to change society. Thousands of meals are served each week by FNB groups in North America and Europe.

leisure ACTION ZIPLINE TOURS. Talk about building up your “wheeee!” factor: Touting themselves as the “first legal, permitted zipline tour company in Southern California,” Action sports nine ziplines, ranging from 120- to 820-feet long, a suspension bridge (with views of the Johnson Valley) and expertly guided tours. Whether you’re aiming for a nice, pleasant ride on a wire in the sky or the thrill-seeking, well, action that an open-air zipline can provide, Action’s likely got you covered—that is, if you’re at least 8 years of age and weigh at least 75 pounds. (And yes, they’ve got braking systems, just in case you need to hit pause for a moment.) Four tours daily.

BELLA VISTA WINERY. This winery claims it was the first Temecula vineyard (around since 1968). Now for a little history lesson, courtesy of the Bella Vista Website: The Temecula wine region began developing in the mid-‘60s when the Kaiser Land Development Company purchased what was known as Vail Ranch in 1964, and began investing in and marketing the Temecula Valley. Horticulturalists were brought in to evaluate the area, and, along with avocados, the experts determined that wine vineyards were well suited for the valley. The cool moist air from the coast would settle in the Temecula Appellation in the evening and would burn off the following morning, perfect for grape growing. First planted in 1968, five acres of the original Bella Vista acres are still producing adjacent to the winery, which was built in 1978. Unlike gym socks, when it comes to wine, older can be so much better. 41220 Calle Contento, Temecula, 951.676.5250; http://bellavistawinery.com. BIG BEAR ALPINE ZOO. The Moonridge

Animal Park arose from the ashes of forest fires in 1959 that devastated the natural ecosystem of the San Bernardino Mountains. Several injured animals were brought to safety for rehabilitation and a second chance at life in the wild. But for some, returning to the forest was not an option due to human imprinting or injuries that would compromise their survival. Enter the humane and dedicated folks at Moonridge, who created an Alpine zoo, where all the animals are native to our local mountains. Learn more about our furry, feathered and scaly friends through daily feeding tours, in the education center, or in the library.

CALICO EARLY MAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE. Tours Thurs-Sun, 9:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, 3:30pm; Wed, 1:30pm & 3:30pm. Nearly 12,000 stone tools—used for scraping, cutting, and gouging— have been excavated here. The apparent age of some of these items (said to be as ancient as 200,000 years old) contradicts the dominant archaeological theory that humans populated North America only 13,000 years ago. Located 15 miles east of Barstow off I-15 in Yermo. From the Minneola Rd. exit, follow the signs north about two miles on graded dirt roads to the site. CALICO GHOST TOWN. Established in 1881, this ghost town is now California State Historic Landmark 782. It’s an authentic silver mining town that lives on as one of the few original mining camps of the Old West. Gunfight stunt shows have become a part of Calico’s everyday life, but the less adventuresome can pan for real gold, watch water roll uphill in Calico’s Mystery Shack or take a trip down into an actual mine where the air is thin, ceilings are low and evidence of laborintensive rock chipping is everywhere. Located 10 miles north of Barstow off I-15. Exit Ghost Town Rd., 760.254.2122. CANYON CREST WINERY. This will be your new go-to place for a wide selection of wines and a few fun events to boot.

Final

Word President Obama is no fan of the Washington Redsk-, er, that NFL team from D.C. “If I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team, even if they’ve had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I’d think about changing it,” Obama said last week in an interview with The Associated Press. Psst, Mr. President. I’m all for political correctness. But how about we un-cripple our nation’s screeching government shutdown before noodling with logos on NFL helmets? A three- to four-week shutdown could cost our economy about $55 billion, according to Moody’s Analytics. But Obama isn’t the only one calling foul on the team name of the Washington Redskins. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last month he thinks his league should possibly reconsider the Redskins name. And Peter King, a longtime columnist for Sports Illustrated, has refused to even refer to Washington by the “R” word. For his part, Daniel Snyder, owner of the Redskins, says he will never, ever change the team’s name. “It’s that simple,” Snyder told the USA Today. “NEVER—you can use caps.” I don’t have strong feelings for or against the Washington Redskins. The name has been around for 80 years, I like tradition and nostalgia, and I don’t like having to memorize new things. Then again, I’m a white guy. What do I know about being oppressed? What’s the worst you can call me? Cracker? Honky? What does “honky” even mean? I looked it up on Wikipedia and nobody is sure where “honky” came from. One theory is “honky” derives from the African language Wolof and literally means “red-eared” or “white person.” I am both of those things. So literally the worst racial slur you can call me is something I actually am. I have no way of knowing how offensive the term Redskin is to Native Americans, but I can guess. When European explorers landed in North America, this entire continent was a nature’s paradise of green rolling pastures, crystal blue streams and roaming buffalo. Now it’s covered in stadiums commemorating how we bulldozed the pastures and streams so the Redskins can play the Buffalo Bills. There was a time when North America was only full of Native

Americans. Every new person a Native American met was bound to be another Native American. Now Native Americans make up 0.9 percent of the US population. They don’t even get their own full percentage point. There are quite possibly more Washington Redskins fans in the United States than actual Native Americans. You can’t pick a name for your team like Redskins or Braves or Seminoles or Chiefs or Indians and not eventually offend somebody. You can’t, so stop arguing. Yes I’m talking to you, ma’am, the one in the Party City headdress, “war paint” and chicken bone necklace. Between the jerseys, the felt pennants, the big dopey mascots, the cheesy fight songs, the homemade costumes and all of the alcohol being sold and guzzled . . . eventually something is going to turn a wee tiny bit racist. Just last week, at least three Cleveland Indians fans attended a playoff game with painted red faces and white Al Jolson circles around their mouths and eyes. C’mon, how is that not racist? I can only imagine how a Native American feels seeing some pasty accountant in $300 box seats with an argyle sweater tied around his neck, chanting like an Indian chief and waving his flabby arms like a tomahawk. Or if the accountant gets tired, he can always pay $15 for a giant Styrofoam tomahawk and plastic peace pipe full of Diet Pepsi. What part of that is respectful? Why is it even necessary? I’m actually a fan of the Oakland Raiders, a team named after a group of murdering, pillaging rapists — but somehow that’s not offensive. Or maybe it’s so generally reprehensible as to not offend anyone in particular. Maybe someday a group of Pirate-Americans will demand that the Raiders change its name to something completely generic like the Oakland Mauve. Win enough games and nobody will care. And we can get back to what sports should really be about: steroids. IE
