B63 <332 4=@ / @3/2 MEMORIES grow short. Not that long ago some monkey-wrencher with a cable cutter cut the cord, so to speak, and threw everything and everyone Internet-dependent into a dark cave of disconnectedness, wherein existential panic ensued. I remember walking into the library on the Day the Internet Died, and the sight of all those unplugged patrons without keyboards to peck made me almost sympathetic. Almost. Paul Davis’ “In Defense of Slow Reading� (Cover Story, June 24) illustrates how hard and fast we’ve fallen for this dame called the Internet. Now, like reintroducing ourselves to the dog who’s been sitting by the door all this time, waiting for our return, Davis thinks we’ll have to retrain ourselves to read. What

the hell? If it’s true that we’ve become “mere decoders of information,� then a timeless yarn like Tom Sawyer becomes just so much undisciplined data to organize, file away and forget. After all, there is no need for recall if we can electronically repackage a lazy, meandering Mississippi River narrative as a characterless hyper-story geared for those who think they might die in the next minute or two. Oh sure, we’ll still have our share of delightful summer days curled up on the hammock with a glass of iced tea, but we won’t be flipping pages. More likely we’ll be texting a cyber-friend about that new animated flick, Huck Finn’s Day Off, loosely based on a novel by some guy named Twain. Supposed to be an author or something. Tim Rudolph, Santa Cruz

5@332 2==;A CA YOUR COVER story (“It’s The End of the World As We Know It,� June 17) is superb. However, it exhaustively covers only one topic—the societies-wide repercussions of both peak oil and (virtually) no oil—of the two key ingredients of, alas, our impending calamity. We live in this insatiable system of ours, and I live in the midst of entropy itself, Los Angeles. That first, well-covered topic does ask why we feel impelled to do-do, go-go, shop-shop, seesee, take care of this, catch up with that, and so on. The “answer� is not just the idiocy and “now� orientation of a profit-based system (consumerist capitalism), for “simpler� societies succumb to at least part of the system’s idiocy on their own basis. What underlies almost all problems that plague human societies is unchecked human population growth. Not since the early

1970s has any major movement or “leader� questioned it or addressed it. All humans are consumers of precious air and water, of soil by way of agriculture, of mountains and deserts and forests for their minerals and vegetation, of other life systems for their flesh and organs. In essence, the human species has crushed seemingly all that is on the planet. “Leaders�— political, religious, cultural—do nothing but ignore and profit from this rapacity. This macrocosm of Easter Island has no other planet to get to, despite what cult leaders and speculative fiction futurists would posit. The transition groups do point to hope and quasi–“recovery,� but we all need to question the “need� for all of our “toys,� transportation “requirements,� electronica and the like—all dross, effluent and waste of our home, Earth. Greed, selfishness and indifference to all other life systems doom us all. Bill Lewis, La Crescenta

53B AB3/;32 OUR post-oil future needn’t be as grim and apocalyptic as portrayed in the Transition article. Consider the late 19th century. Railways crisscrossed the nation. Seaports were full of ships. The trains and ships burned coal to generate steam power. Coal is a foul pollutant and should be banned from use in power plants and heating. Yet it’s abundant and could fuel our post-oil transportation network. A train trip from San Francisco to New York took about four days in 1895. A steamship took about the same time to travel from New York to Europe. Philip Ratcliff. Cloverdale

food shortages are looming, yet the solution is reverting back to food production methods of the 1930s when one farmer fed 10 people. Today’s American farmer feeds 164 people annually with the safest, most reasonably priced food the world has ever seen. Last year the American consumer still only spent 10 percent of his/her disposable income on food despite reporting of higher food prices by major media sources. Today’s food system is safe and it is “green� and efficient. Cornell University just this week released a study indicating that today’s food system emits 63 percent less carbon per unit of food produced than the same unit of food produced in 1954. Science and technology combined with human initiative has allowed the United States farmer to provide food, fiber, fuel and pharmaceuticals more efficiently than ever before imagined. With all of that said, I am willing to make a deal. If Kenner and Pollan are willing to show their film in black and white and silent as movies were in the 1930s, I’ll go back to my grandfather’s era of food production. Trent Loos, Loup City, Neb.

1=@@31B7=< Last week we reported that the $15 State Park Access Pass would be a fee, not a tax. That was incorrect. While classified as a fee by the Department of Motor Vehicles for administrative purposes, it’s considered a tax by the Legislature and must meet a higher threshold of approval. We regret the error.

:3B¸A ;/93 / 23/: AS A sixth generation United States farmer, I fully understand the romance of yesteryear’s food production systems, but a reality check is in order. As filmmakers Michael Pollan and Robert Kenner are making the circles in the media promoting the release of Food. Inc., their message about the modern food production system is nothing but a circle as well. The most glaring example is the mention that

HERE WILL BE no election. It won’t be on any ballot. The Powers That Be have already decided. We will have a seawater desalination plant. And you will pay for it. Yes, there will be a hearing someday, where the Staff—taking as long as They like—tells us why we have no other choice. You will then be allowed to speak for the usual 120 seconds. They won’t listen. They already decided last January that They are sure there is a drought, even though our reservoir overflowed with water this spring. They are sure that the impact on the marine sanctuary will be negligible or at least, as when often approving violations of environmental laws, there are “overriding considerations.� It doesn’t matter that desal takes eight times more global warming energy than our usual water supply per gallon. The university needs more water. UCSC will be taking half our remaining supply for their future growth. They have already done the necessary thinking for us. There should be no further questions. But there are questions. Why should the ratepayers subsidize the (exempt from local tax) state university’s expansion costs? (As we are already doing by paying the EIR and Local Agency Formation Commission costs of possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars to expand the city’s utility district to accommodate more of UCSC’s campus.) No, we didn’t get to vote on that one either, in spite of the nearly 80 percent approval by voters of Measure J’s requirements for a vote. Why can’t the electricity for a desal plant (if it’s proven to be really necessary) be from all-solar sources, which have no global warming contributions? What has happened to the sea life near other desal plants’ brine discharge outlets, and why should we believe it would be any different here? And of course there is the big question: Why should voters be involved in making important decisions here in Santa Cruz anyway? Don’t voters just get in the way of plans that are obviously good for us? Like when they voted against the 17-story hotel and 6,000-seat convention center at Lighthouse Point? Look at all the money we could have taken in with that project and used to help fund university growth so they could consume more local government services that they are exempt from paying for. Why should we bother to have democracy in Santa Cruz at all? They know best. We are all ignorant. Just ask Them.

ERRY picking without poison ivy? Definitely a first for me. Driving down the dusty, winding roads past fields of berries to Watsonville’s Gizdich Ranch, my mouth waters and my fingers twitch—whether in anticipation of picking or memories of scratching, I’m not sure. Once there, I eavesdrop for instructions. “Pick the darkest and the shiniest ones you see,� a grandmother tells her squealing grandson. For my first olallieberry-picking excursion, I listen, excluding the light saber sound effects. Undaunted by the gray skies, adult pickers work diligently on every boulevard of berries. Having settled on a row, I pluck the berries from the vines and listen to them plop at the bottom of my rapidly filling bucket. The excitement of berry picking as a child

comes flooding back as I quickly scan for the bestlooking olallies and avoid the tart bright red ones. “Nah-uh! I found the most and the biggest,� a child taunts a sibling from a few rows over. Children from each family compete. They race up and down the aisles of green, red and black with buckets as big as their heads. “No, Grandma, the best way to do it is pull down.� A rustle of trees and a light, cool breeze commands everyone to relax and enjoy the day. At the end of the row, the vines of olallieberries and boysenberries stretch as far as the eye can see, hills looming in the background. Small, red-stained hands carefully pluck the dark berries from under the leaves without mashing them—too much. Another voice from the other side of the hedge speaks up. “Put them in the

bucket. You’re the best berry-picker, man.� I silently disagree; my mouth-to-bucket ratio has to be better than his. “No! Don’t touch your . . . shirt.� Spiky leaves, bright red fingers and a mother’s failed warning remind me to be more cautious. Not caring, I look around and pop one in my mouth. The bright, tart explosion of flavor is the formula for an instant grin. Grandma wants the darkest and the shiniest for her olallieberry pie, but those will be long gone before they ever reached the kitchen. Unfortunately, all my olallieberries are out of my reach on the drive home. However, shared with friends, 2 1/2 pounds of berries disappear especially fast—but no problem. I’m going back for more. —Kat Lynch

in what was then a vacant office trailer. What they got was a stereo equipment room, but there was one thing missing: price tags. Williams had opted to keep the displays strictly educational, though now he says he realizes that might have been a mistake. “I just tried to make something that people can come in and enjoy. But I do think it would be better in a museum or something,� he says, adding. “I’m hoping the Museum of Natural History or Louden Nelson might be interested.� The equipment inside the room ranges from valuable antiques to outdated junk, the best of which he’s given romantic naval titles. His “aircraft carrier� is a G.E. tube-TV built inside a mahogany entertainment center, and his “battleship� is a rare Curtis Mathes turntable and reel-to-reel cassette stereo that sounds almost as good as it did in the 1950s. A few odd radios and a handful of records are there too, watched over by photographs of Williams’ daughter and posters of Cesar Chavez and activist Geoffrey Canada. Having picked up an interest in

stereos as a young boy, Williams spent most of his working life in and out of the sound equipment industry, most notably for nearly 25 years as a buyer for the recently shuttered Ocean Street Home Entertainment Exchange. And though he’s disappointed by having to dismantle his newest display, he hopes that the room’s future use as storage for medical supplies like walkers, wheelchairs and portable toilets will be a success. In fact, he’s currently applying for grants on behalf of the Grey Bears to buy a bigger stock of the much-indemand walkers and wheelchairs. Lynda Francis, the executive director for the local Grey Bears, says the room was never meant to be any kind of museum. She says she hopes the equipment will find a better venue. “The fact is, that space was supposed to be a stereo component store,� she says. “Franklin did this on his own because he had a vision. It would be great if he can find a home for it, but it’s not at the Grey Bears.� The fact that Williams took an idea, added his personal touch and ran with

N AN unremarkable office trailer tucked in a corner of the sprawling California Grey Bears thrift complex on Chanticleer Avenue in Santa Cruz is one man’s ode to the stereo. No more than a modest collection of dusted off old speakers, televisions, radios and record players stacked on flimsy shelves among a scattering of musical and political posters, the room is the pride of Grey Bears employee and local activist Franklin Williams. But one person’s “sound museum� is another’s “inappropriate use of space,� and come July 16, these old relics will need to find a new home. “Most of this stuff was donated to the

Bears, but there’s some of mine in here too,� says Williams, a tall white-bearded former Black Panther wearing a worker’s back harness and rainbow-colored African kufi hat. “They want to use the space for storage, but I just want people to know that it was here and hopefully find somewhere it can stay.� At any given time, Williams has a hand in a half-dozen volunteer-based projects, like a food delivery program for homeless people and a work studies class he teaches at UCSC. But for fulltime work, Williams runs the actual thrift store portion of the local Grey Bears branch. About four weeks ago, his higher-ups commissioned him to set up an extra stereo equipment sales room

it seems no surprise to the people who know him. Pastor Paul Spurlock of Twin Lakes Church in Aptos says Williams’ work ethic is humbling, though his tact is often lacking. “He’s an old guy but he’s got the energy of a 20-year-old,� says Spurlock. “I totally respect what he does because I see his heart is in the right place. I think he’s more about getting things done than getting good PR.� Perhaps Williams’ closest friend and colleague is Santa Cruz Councilmember Mike Rotkin. The politician and UCSC lecturer first met the young activist while teaching a Marxism class in the ’70s, and later went on to host Williams’ wedding in his back yard. “Franklin is totally committed to helping disadvantaged people,� says Rotkin. “He’s essentially an activist. He’s always out doing some kind of volunteer work. He’s done a ton of anti-racist work and is a guy that’s able to cross racial boundaries. He just gets in the trenches and does the work—a really amazing individual.� At day’s end, Williams agrees that the stuff inside the little trailer at Grey Bears is just that: stuff.

Wincing, supervisors pass budget with $25 million in cuts 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

L

AST THURSDAY, as the county Board of Supervisors wrapped up unfinished business in its 2009–10 budget, it was asked to accept a 6 percent reduction in LAFCO’s budget. County Administrative Officer Susan Mauriello read off the amount—$5,913— to a few sad guffaws. “Don’t spend it all in one place,� someone quipped. “Every little penny counts,� scolded Mauriello. It does sound like peanuts when you’re trying to close a $25 million budget hole. But with the words “It passes unanimously� from Supes chairman Neal Coonerty, the board did just that with a $367 million budget that features more cuts than a barbershop. Nearly every department in the county is taking a 20 percent hit in the next fiscal year, which officially begins today. County offices will be closed one day a month and a week during the holidays, and almost 2,400 county workers have accepted unpaid furlough hours. Two weeks ago, members of SEIU local 521 voted to accept a 5 percent furlough that restored 50 positions slated for pink slips, while the other county bargaining units, like the Sheriff’s Department and management, took a 7.5 percent furlough that saved their departments from any layoffs at all. There is still some question as to who exactly will lose their jobs. SEIU has opened up its voluntary time off program, departments are waiting to hear back about federal stimulus money and grant applications, and the county can shuffle personnel around to different job titles. “We will work very hard to find another position in the county. We’ll try to reduce the number of people that actually lose their jobs,� says CAO spokeswoman Dinah Phillips. SEIU Budget Action Team chairwoman Alison Hayes says that uncertainty makes now an especially difficult time for workers. “County workers are really stoic. You’d think people are freaking out,� she says. “But I would be lying if I didn’t say this is a very emotional time.� Layoff numbers—which are likely to be in the 50-60 range—should be final in August. Local nonprofits are also taking a

20 percent reduction in funds, and while the news was grim, it was hardly unexpected. A few months back the supervisors capped reductions for local nonprofits like Santa Cruz AIDS Project and the Human Care Alliance at 20 percent, and in the end did not move from that mark. “We’ve been anticipating and trying to deal with this over the last several months,� says Sam Storey, executive director of Community Bridges, an umbrella organization for several social service nonprofits. Though he estimates the county cuts are equivalent to about 12,000 Meals on Wheels meals, he says the agency has had time to cut other expenses and move around reserve money to absorb the impact. Other programs, like SCAP, may not survive. Though the supervisors did manage to resuscitate some programs, public health and mental health services are getting slammed. But here’s the really scary part: just like any conventional Hollywood horror flick, the knife-wielding maniac always manages to jump out at the audience one last time—so too with this budget as the legislators in Sacramento battle it out to close their own $24 billion deficit. It’s still unclear how the state could come at local governments. If they choose to borrow, they can milk out up to $9.1 million in Santa Cruz County money. “I don’t think there’s a way they can do it without raining pain down on the county’s heads,� says Phillips. This of course puts more jobs and nonprofits on the line, and though borrowing from local government is extremely politically unpopular at this point, with the governor rejecting tax and fee increase proposals from Democrats and the state creeping ever closer to issuing IOUs to Cal Grants and CalWORKS recipients, District 27 Assemblyman Bill Monning says we’re getting down to the wire. “It pushes us to the brink. The state without a balanced budget, we can’t borrow. Our rating junks out,� he says, adding, “These are not academic decisions, they are life and death decisions. You take people off dialysis, HIV/AIDS drugs, people will die. That’s the gravity as we try to reconcile this budget.� 0

OR AS LONG as he’s been an adult, Paul Beisser has had a beard. Be it a full and bushy face mane, a chiseled Fu-Manchu or a long and proud Van Dyke, the 58-year-old Santa Cruz postal worker’s chin skin has rarely seen the light of day. It wasn’t until May 23, at the World Beard and Moustache Championships in Anchorage, however, that the world finally recognized the whisker whiz for all his worth and awarded him the coveted trophy for World’s Best Natural Goatee. “Since I was about 18, I’ve had some sort of beard,â€? says Beisser, a rack of white teeth gleaming from under his lip bristles. “One time I actually shaved my beard and I saw my mom and she said, ‘Paul! Why on earth did you shave your beard?’ At that point I decided that if even my mother wanted me to keep the beard, then I better leave it.â€? ¨

1=D 3@ j 0=:2 /<2 0 3 /@23 2 Beisser’s face is the picture of kindliness. Gentle eyes bordered by crow’s feet stare from behind finerimmed glasses just below a thinning mantle of hair pulled tight into a long ponytail. He speaks slowly, enunciating each syllable carefully and forcing the listener to savor every word like a piece of hard candy. His goatee explodes from around his mouth in a blossom of ash and sallow. But below his chin, the hair is quickly tamed into a long, twirled rope that dangles just past his sternum. This final step of twirling its length has been, according to Beisser, the most fruitful fashion decision he’s ever made. “Since I started twirling it, I get more compliments from women in a week then I had gotten my whole life before I twirled it,� he says proudly. “They just say how neat and clean it is. It’s nice for an old guy like me.� Beisser entered the beard contest on a suggestion from a co-worker at the Morrissey Boulevard Post Office—after “falling on the floor laughing,� anyway. An avid hiker, cyclist and artistic photographer, Beisser says he was sold when he found out the contest was in Alaska. Driving his Subaru Baja solo the 3,300 miles to moose country, he spent the majority of his time exploring the far corners of the Last Frontier on his bicycle and kayak. And with the 2011 World Beard and Moustache Championships set in Trondheim, Norway, Beisser is planning to defend his title in a new and equally rugged locale. In fact, Beisser’s 21-year-old son, Sterling Beisser, is hoping to raise the money needed to bring them both to the land of the Vikings, where he’ll serve as his dad’s “beard coach.� “My dad has always supported me in whatever I’ve done with my life. We’ve had some rocky roads, like any father and son, but I just hope I can be there to support him too,� says Sterling, a local tattoo artist who lives with his girlfriend Becky at his father’s house in Pleasure Point. “He can do it, though. He grows hair like crazy. It’s like Jack and the Beanstalk growing off his chin.� Having a 2-foot-long beard isn’t all awards, picture posing and fawning women. There are plenty of drawbacks, says Beisser, chief among which is the ever-present threat of getting it caught in car windows, refrigerator doors, or, God forbid, a moving object (see sidebar, page 21). And as a veteran fuzz farmer, Beisser knows to tuck it in his shirt anytime he’s worried it might get caught in a painful nook. But in spite of his vigilance, he’s still shut it in his car door enough times to know he needs to guard his beard like

an added appendage. Beisser also knows he’s blessed to have such a rich outcrop of facial tresses and says he hopes to donate some of his mane (though likely the cranial variety) to the charity group Locks of Love, which provides human hair wigs for cancer patients and other follically challenged folks. Meanwhile, the goatee king is keeping his eyes on the prize, and, with a little luck and a decent comb, he might be taking home another trophy in two years. “I’m just excited to compete in something,� says Beisser. “I never thought I would actually win. But it’s really just an excuse to travel and meet people, so I think I win either way.�

About Face Size matters to Jack Passion. So do length, shape, color, fullness, softness and overall beauty. Of his beard, that is. The UC–Santa Cruz graduate is the threeyear reigning titleholder in the Full Beard Natural category of the World Beard and Moustache Championships and 2009 winner of the Third Overall award. Equivalent to the Olympic gold medal in the esoteric realm of international competitive facial hair, this honor designates the 25-year-old Walnut Creek resident’s beard as the finest on the planet. “I know I have the best beard in the world,� Passion states. “It’s just beautiful hair, there’s no way around that. I’m young, I’m healthy and I take care of it. I know the game, and I’m confident in that.� In 2007, at the tender age of 23, Passion came out of nowhere to sweep the world Full Beard Natural title, upsetting the dominant German team and heralding a new era in the “sport.� He is considered by many to be the Tiger Woods of bearding. Passion doesn’t shrink from that lofty assessment: “Tiger Woods redefined the game of golf; I like to think that I redefined how to wear a beard. It’s about the most beautiful beard. They’re like a piece of art. It doesn’t have to be the most technically superior piece of art, but it’s what moves you the most, and I’ve moved the judges consistently.� “Jack is pretty much our MVP,� says Phil Olsen, the founder and selfappointed captain of Beard Team USA. “Whenever there is a beard competition, Jack wins it,� Olsen, too, is comfortable with the Woods comparison. “I think his record in beard competitions is better than Tiger Woods’ record in golf

tournaments,� Olsen figures. “What’s important to remember, though, is that there are 18 different categories for competition. Jack is only in one category, but the category he is in is the one that’s the most prestigious and most competitive. Jack is definitely the superstar.� Northern California is home to a handful of competitive facial hair allstars, all of whom have been growing, brushing, clipping, conditioning and styling their fuzz for Beard Team USA. Gilroy resident Gary Hagen, owner

of the 2003 World Championships Handlebar [Imperial] Moustache title, has been painstakingly curling his worldclass ’stache for years. Olsen, perhaps the most influential man in the world of American competitive facial hair and owner of a big black beard, lives in Tahoe City.

After the smooth Art Deco groove of the 1920s and ’30s, the beard became the domain of bikers, beats, mountain men, hippies and professors. Men who shun the razor have long had to endure comparisons to Chewbacca, Cat Stevens or ZZ Top. Similarly, those men who have manicured their whiskers into mustaches have to deal with the barrage of ’70s porn star and Super Troopers jokes. Lately, however, a new age has dawned for American men, and the metrosexual preference for skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom has given way to the “I don’t give a shit anymore� recession beard. Not to be confused with the sports playoff beard, or the result of a frat-house dirtyman competition, the recession beard is the byproduct of the recently pinkslipped male who no longer has to keep up appearances. “A lot of guys go through phases where they don’t want to look so cleaned up. So, they let their facial hair grow a little bit and dress more casual,� says Bob Paez, owner of Garden Theater Barber Shop in San Jose. “The current thing right now is that some guys will wear a beard that’s like a Miami Vice–type of beard, where it’s like three days’ growth, and they sketch it out. Some guys have the long hairs they clean up with shears and clippers and make them look nice and uniform. That’s because a lot of guys are looking for jobs, and they have to have their groomed beards and mustaches cleaned up.� Even the ironic mustache has come back thick and full in the last few years, spurred by the urban hipster set. “The mustache made it through somehow,� Passion says. “People are like, ‘Hey, I’m Tom Selleck, check out my Pontiac GTO.’ The mustache came back ironically, with hipsters growing ironic mustaches.�

Philosopher’s Follicles Jack Passion displays an eccentric charisma both on and off the bearding stage. A freelance bass player, he’s used his success on the competition circuit to propel his entrepreneurial carrier. “My beard is my brand, it’s my business. I am my day job,� Passion says. This March saw the release of his first E-book, titled Jack Passion’s Facial Hair

Handbook, detailing his own beardcare regimen. Fans can also purchase the “Jack Passion Beard Shirt� (sold at jackpassion.com), as well as his first solo album, titled At the Opera. Passion says the knew his facial hair was going to be prolific from a very young age: “I had huge sideburns at 13, big lamb chops. It was like instant street cred. I was the man.�

‘At 2 in the morning, you get the girls who understand the latent thing with facial hair. It’s a secondary sex characteristic; they’re like “Oh, I need that. That’s what a man is.â€? Or they just want to cross a beard guy off their list.’ Jack Passion He decided to grow out his beard during his freshman year at UC–Santa Cruz, where he studied philosophy (a very beardy major, he says). “I had this big thick red beard, and it was nuts; everybody loved it, and I loved it too. I was like, maybe this is a sign. This beard is like major; maybe I’m supposed to have a beard.â€? Passion first heard about the World Beard and Moustache Championships in 2003, when it was held in Carson ¨

I had always wanted to go to Germany, and I was, like, I can tell my grandkids I went to a world beard championship, how cool is that? I ended up getting third place in Full Beard Natural. Everyone was like, ‘Who is this 21-year-old American kid?’� Three years later, at the 2007 Brighton, England, World Championships, Passion finally won the main event. Dressed in a blinding-white tuxedo to accentuate his gingery chin fire, he took first place in Full Beard Natural, narrowly beating out Sweden’s Gunnar Rosenquist, who dressed as a wizard. “I knew that it was going to be me and one other guy. It was going to be because his was twice as long as mine

but his was thin and gray. He just didn’t have the passion,â€? says Passion. Passion’s family, whom he describes as “’60s San Francisco cowboy hippies,â€? have always been supportive of his gargantuan beard, and even more so since he started winning competitions with it. A born performer, Passion admits that he got into beard growing for the attention. He says the beard is also a good way to meet women: “For girls, it’s a great conversation starter. I think of it as the hook. Once the hook is set, we’re having fish tonight.â€? “It’s kind of like Sex Panther cologne: 60 percent of the time it works 100 percent of the time.

That’s what a man is.’ Or they just want to cross a beard guy off their list.� In the run-up to the championships in Anchorage this spring, Passion was totally secure in his ability to retain his title. “ I’m confident, I don’t think I have any real competitors. There’s a lot more people competing this time, but I’m not trippin’. None of these guys know what I know.�

‘Old Men Gone Wild’ When Gary Hagen became the world champion in 2003, his mustache measured 10 inches from tip to tip, curving in slightly at the ends. The 56-year-old Gilroy resident was the first American to ever win gold in the handlebar mustache category, known as the “Imperial mustache� in Europe. Working on his mustache since 1994, Hagen has spent the last five years seeing how big he can get it to grow and how perfectly and symmetrically he can make it curl. Now, having produced a 20-inchlong masterpiece, Hagen is feeling fine. “I really believe I’m the portrait of an American champion,� he says, “not because I have a title, and not because I have a trophy, but because I went from a standard handlebar and taught myself how to do a really long, curly handlebar mustache, without a mentor and without an instruction manual. It was brutal to learn how to do.� For competitions, he can spend a half-hour or more shaping his mustache with his own secret hot wax-based concoction, which keeps it stiff and the curl tight. “I’m not a prima donna with it, though I can be for special events. I usually do the slap-it-together, goto-work mustache. I can’t spend the time every day,� says Hagen. Hagen, a checker at a Safeway in Morgan Hill since 2000, has gained a reputation around South County as the “mustache guy,� the talkative, chipper checker with the great big ‘stache. “The public are my cheerleaders. They would give me all these great accolades; it cheers me on to my perimeters of awesome,� Hagen says. He found growing his mustache for competition so challenging that he developed the “Gary Manifesto� to

encourage himself to keep going: “I rise up to the challenge of waxing one of the world’s greatest handlebar mustaches. I am forceful and fearless. I am tough and tenacious. I will create a masterpiece out of my mustache and my life.�

‘I rise up to the challenge of waxing one of the world’s greatest handlebar mustaches. I am forceful and fearless. I am tough and tenacious. I will create a masterpiece out of my mustache and my life.’ The ‘Gary Manifesto’ Of course, sporting a handlebar mustache is against Safeway’s employee policy, and Hagen has gotten grief for his exceptional mustache. He has had managers over the years tell him to cut it off, though he has resisted. He says his current boss is OK with it, and Hagen loves the reaction he gets. “It’s not every day that somebody mentions it, but it’s often and constant. It’s only a matter of time before somebody goes off about my mustache,â€? he says. In Santa Cruz, he says, the attention is particularly intense. “When I come to Santa Cruz, the interest level in the mustache spikes dramatically,â€? he says. “People show ¨

College is a time in their life when they can experiment, grow a beard and mustache and dreadlocks.� During the holidays, Hagen has even been known to hang small Christmas tree ornaments off his mustache. He has also dyed it green for St. Patrick’s Day and stuck small flags in it for the Fourth of July. “The most satisfying time I made somebody laugh with adornments in my mustache was at Stanford Hospital,� Hagen recalls. “I was walking around the cafeteria after donating blood. This lady started laughing, and I found out later it was probably one of the worst days of her life. I ran into her on a park bench out front of the building when I was leaving, and she said she had just found out her son might not live. I’ve never wanted to be a standup comedian, but it’s really satisfying making people laugh, because when they laugh, you laugh too. It’s a win-win thing.� Hagen wasn’t laughing at the 2009 championships in Anchorage, though. Unable to afford to travel to Europe to attend competitions, he couldn’t defend his handlebar mustache title at the 2005 and 2007 championships, so it was his second time in an international contest. For the Alaska competition he was ready, with raccoon coat and period morning suit, to dress as a turn-ofthe-century gentleman to match his mustache’s old-timey style. But his plan was stymied in pre-judging when a panel determined that Hagen wasn’t eligible to compete in the handlebar (or Imperial) category, owing to a technique he’d borrowed from East Indian gentlemen whereby hairs from several millimeters below the bottom lip are used to augment the mustache, making it longer and more luxurious. “I was forced to compete in freestyle partial beard, and I didn’t win a thing,� he says, adding that he considers the distinction a matter of, well, splitting hairs. “I tell people, ‘I no longer have a mustache, I have a partial beard,’ and they roll their eyes in disbelief.� Still, it’s good fun. “I call the contest ‘Old men gone wild,’� says Hagen. “It’s like meeting your brothers. You walk into a room, and everybody looks like you. It’s kind of like coming home. It’s hysterically funny, kick-in-the-pants fun. Older men can be creative and wild, too. It’s a good brotherhood.� 0

ROWING out exceptional facial hair can be a surprisingly risky business. Gary Hagen once burned off half an inch of mustache when trying to curl it with an oldfashioned curling iron (he learned gas stoves are not compatible with vintage hair-styling tools). Bruce Roe, president of the Bremerton, Wash.–based Whisker Club and a longtime American facial hair competition participant, set his mustache on fire during a recent club function. “At our annual Whisker Club meeting last August, I was barbecuing,� Roe recalls. “I had a big f lash, and in all my years of having a mustache this has never happened, but I burned up a bunch of my mustache. I lost a couple of inches in the end.� The most traumatic injury in recent beard competition memory was sustained by Willi Chevalier of Germany. A construction worker by day, Chevalier was unable to attend the 2003 World Championships after his snow-white mustache had an unfortunate run-in with a power drill, ripping open his face and almost costing him an eye. Chevalier has recovered and competed in May. Zippers are also not friendly to those with extra-embellished facial hair. Both Passion and Hagen avoid zippers like the plague. Passion says that he’s learned through trial and error what not to do with his beard. “Riding a motorcycle with my beard flapping around was pretty stupid,� he says, noting that it got so strained and knotted that he ended up losing a lot of hair. Eating can also prove a challenge when you have a voluminous beard down to your belly button. Crumbly food gets caught in Passion’s mane. “I go through a lot of napkins. Sometimes, I have to hold it back when I’m eating, or tuck it into my shirt if I’m doing things,� he says. “I get it caught under my leg when getting into a car all the time, and [I got it caught in] the car window one time,� he admits Passion says he’s had a lot of close calls but no major accidents yet, outside of a bad case of food poisoning that put his beard into shock. “Two years ago, I got horrible food poisoning and lost 30 pounds in like a month. I did lose a ton of beard.�

Cabrillo Stage’s musical comedy ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ is an entertaining throwback 0G B@/17 6C97::

J

UDGING from the intermission patter on the opening night of the Cabrillo Stage musical I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, the parents nearly stole the show. Their scene comes halfway through the first act, after the audience is primed by a half-dozen vignettes for a certain type of romantic comedy—namely the type in which the guys are insensitive clods and the women are gorgeous and impatient. Attired in midcentury frump, Sara Stein and Nicholas Ceglio toddle out to a table ready to toast the marriage of their son (Max Bennett-Parker) to a career girl (Ariel Buck) whose professional aspirations perplex them, only to learn the marriage is off. They break into song. As their number progresses, the passive-aggressive barbs (“But we don’t pity you/ No, not pretty you/’Cause your life belongs to no man, it’s your own�) shed their passivity and become openly hostile: “It’s fine with us, my son/ Just drink, dance, have some fun/ We’re your parents, we support you/ You little shit!� Stein and Ceglio are both gifted comic actors, and by the end of the number the audience is howling. It’s everything that’s right and wrong about this endearing local production of the off-Broadway hit that ran 12 years. Joe DiPietro’s book and lyrics reflect his upbringing—New Jersey during the

E3227<5 >/@BG Taking a turn as groom and bride, Max Bennett-Parker and Sara Stein panic on their wedding day as friends Nicholas Ceglio and Ariel Buck prod them toward matrimonial bliss.

Reagan years—and the overall result is dated and predictable, with an overreliance on schlub/nag setups underpinned by the assumption that feckless marriage and defeated parenthood are the fate of one and all. Some relief comes in the second act as the vignettes turn to darker topics, though only after a nearly unbearable episode about new parenthood. All that said, this production of Love . . . Perfect . . . Change is thoroughly entertaining. Director Andrew Ceglio, who debuted last year with the similarly goofy and delightful Forever Plaid, has assembled a buoyant cast of four with enough talent and range to handle all 40 characters called for by the script. Little touches hint at Ceglio’s playfulness, too, which has an inevitable effect on the cast. In one number a middle-aged couple mechanically eat breakfast; when in unison they lift their papers to turn the pages, one is reading Santa Cruz Weekly, the other Good Times

(granted, maybe I find that funnier than most). Even the instrumentalists, dubbed the Love Band, are in on the fun; at the start of Act 2 they’re performing the overture when violinist Priscilla Fisher launches an unplanned but impassioned solo while her band mates nervously clear their throats. The singing throughout is strong enough to allow the audience to relax and enjoy the ride. Bennett-Parker, who appeared in Plaid last year, is the stronger of the two male vocalists, with a fine tone and good enunciation, though Nicholas Ceglio (brother of director Andrew) is animated enough to more than compensate for any technical shortcomings. Ariel Buck (Audrey in 2007’s Little Shop of Horrors) possesses a beautiful soprano with a crystal quality that at times I feared would be drowned out, though it never was. Sara Stein’s confident mezzo-soprano was a joy. Several individual performances stand out. Bennett-Parker’s “Shouldn’t I Be Less

in Love With You� is surprisingly tender. Stein’s comic timing, reminiscent of Tina Fey’s, makes “Hey There, Single Gal/Guy� the ringing success it is. Buck’s portrayal of an angry, distraught divorcee in “The Very First Dating Video of Rose Ritz� is notable for its compassion and honesty (and because it’s the only vignette that doesn’t try to be funny). And Nicholas Ceglio’s old Jewish guy gently hitting on a widow in “I Can Live With That� suggests a reservoir of comic talent barely tapped by this production, quality though it is. I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE runs through July 26 at the Erica Schilling Forum, Cabrillo College, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos. Tickets are $20–$26.

Remembering Greg Hall, 1946–2009 0G AB3>63< 93AA:3@

W

HEN SOMEONE close to you dies, it’s always strange, even if they were old and in poor health and you knew it was coming. When the deceased is a longtime friend, an exact contemporary and a peer in your shared obscure line of work, someone you spoke with over the phone the day before and who was no drunker than usual and otherwise in good health as far as you knew—when he is suddenly found dead in his San Jose cottage, apparently of a heart attack, at 62, your grief and disbelief are of a different order of magnitude. Greg Hall, at one time the most prodigiously gifted poet in Santa Cruz, unexpectedly left this world last Tuesday, June 23. He had phoned me Monday and we’d spoken for maybe a half hour about everything and nothing—that is, mostly about poetry in one manifestation or another, about the small miracle that we and a few friends were still doing it after all this time, about the curious consolation it is to devote one’s life to such a marginal yet essential mode of creation. In the 1970s, when Santa Cruz was experiencing a poetic renaissance, Greg Hall was a star, alternately inspiring and exasperating fellow poets with his brilliant imagination, his gentleness, his humility and his wit. I was certainly one who wondered, in the competitive way of poets, how I might ever write poems so brimming with reality and a seemingly effortless way of making the wildest connections and juxtapositions— as in “Juan Marichal’s left foot sinks over the Golden Gate,� an image of the high-kicking delivery of the great Giants pitcher as an event as cosmic as the setting sun—seem completely natural and inevitable.

6/::¸A 4/;3 San Jose poet Greg Hall, once a fixture on the Santa Cruz poetry scene, will be remembered in a memorial Sunday, July 19, at 6pm at WORKS Gallery, 451 S. First St., San Jose.

Working in those days on a series of manual portable typewriters, later on one computer or another, Greg Hall went through periods of selfdoubt or spiritual conversion often enough to discard writings that he no longer believed in, and surely threw away more excellent original poems than most poets write in a lifetime. He was not attached to the material world, his own works included. He was constantly recycling his books and music, living in tiny cottages in Santa Cruz or spare apartments in San Jose or Campbell, working in hospitals or nursing homes as an orderly, a technician, an administrator, and on his own time constantly reading a vast range of books—poetry, history, philosophy, fiction, biography—and

writing, writing, writing. He was one of those rare poets not only totally authentic in his devotion to the art but, even rarer, utterly indifferent to public recognition. He had no ambition to publish. In 40 years he put out just two small collections from small presses (Flame People from Santa Cruz’s Green Horse Press and Inamorata from Tollbooth Press in Redwood City) and hardly ever appeared in magazines (exceptions include Silicon Valley’s Montserrat Review and my own Redwood Coast Review and Alcatraz). His only ambition was to serve his muses: poetry, music, art, alcohol and cigarettes. That he lived as long as he did under the circumstances is an accomplishment in itself. That he lived uncorrupted by the

culture of publishing yet generously and successfully shared his work with a diverse circle of friends and colleagues, and that the work itself sustained over four decades, through all its changes and variations, a uniquely integral expression of his mystery-smitten spirit, is even more worthy of admiration. Poetry has lost one of its truest souls, and hardly anyone will ever know. 0

John Joseph McCauley III wants people to know that despite his pretentiously long name and the tendency for fans to bathe him in adoration, he’s not the only member of Deertick. He did found the band, originally a simple bass and drums duo, on the rainy streets of Providence, but since then, the crew has grown by two, and though it remains McCauley’s brainchild, it’s a true collaboration now. What it all adds up to is good, honest, bluegrasstinged indie rock with clever lyrics, boot-scooting rhythms and roughand-tumble vocals for a full sound that no single country boy could do on his own. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm; (Curtis Cartier)

All that glitters is not gold but a certain precious stone when it comes to reggae spun by this radiant trio. Though the Mighty Diamonds have retained social and political commentary in their act, for the 30-plus years they’ve performed together they’ve opted out of building their message around Rastafarian beliefs. Jamaica’s gems procured a name for themselves during the ’70s roots era by conjuring the mojo of Motown through euphonious harmonies and a choreographed appearance. Their thumping beats and electronic ditties reverberated through to the United States with the release of album 19, 1986’s Pass the Kutchie—merely the halfway mark of a lustrous career with no end in sight. Moe’s Alley; $20 advance/$25 door; 9:30pm. (Jaime Nabrynski)

A titan of Jamaican reggae known for his ebullient sense of humor, EekA-Mouse towers above all comers. This is not only physically—granted, he is almost impossibly tall—but stylistically; his iconoclastic talent as the popularizer of the “singjay� vocal style that has come to define dancehall. The man born Ripton Joseph Hylton has had a storied career, achieving stateside success in a genre that rarely cracks the pop charts, and is on his way to being a veritable elder statesman of the genre—even if he remains its perpetually adolescent class clown. Catalyst; $14 advance/$19 door; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

B63 >/@A=< @3263/2A Proving that blondes can’t have all the fun, the Parson Redheads made the big migration from Oregon to the City of Angels in the summer of 2005. A White Stripes–like husband-and-wife team of Evan and Brette Marie Way are the bedrock of an indie-psyche six-piece that escorts audiences on a trip through the ’60s. The heavily English-pop-influenced outfit is hailed for taking the catchy hymns of the Byrds and wooing listeners with a Donovanesque melodiousness. Their premiere vinyl release, Orangufang, will no doubt further already solid alternative radio airplay and could perhaps induce the birth of what may one day be christened the Oregon invasion.

@3D3@3<2 03/B ;/< Santa Cruz’s most beloved downtown dive bar and punk venue is pulling out all the stops to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Five rock bands, two burlesque dancers and one hot rod car show are all slated to turn

Independence Day into Indie Punk Dance Day in a way that only the Blue Lagoon can pull off. Headlining the shindig is Swiss rockabilly badass Reverend Beat-Man and his brand of hard-nosed gutter rock. In tow come four more Central Coast punk and psychobilly acts, including Thee Merry Widows, Rifraff, S.C. Beatdown and the End, for a one-night liberty freak out that’s sure to leave bruises. Blue Lagoon; $10; 8:30pm. (CC)

2/<8C;/ /<2 =<=:/ Though Santa Cruzan Danjuma Adamu grew up Lagos, Nigeria, it was the groundbreaking rock & roll of the Beatles that helped kick-start his musical obsession decades ago. The multi-instrumentalist started his first band at age 18, playing mostly American rock music, before joining the Action Funk Ensemble in 1967. The group’s first album, Groove the Funk, found modest success internationally, as did the follow-up, 1972’s Dawn of Awareness. Danjuma’s current band, Onola, is a further embodiment of the funkified Afrobeat Danjuma has come to embody. Moe’s Alley; $9 advance/$12 door; 9pm. (Garrett Wheeler)

8C5 AB=;>3@A The string band revival earlier this decade resurrected a number of long-dormant musical genres, but no comeback may have been more unlikely than that of the jug band. Unabashedly hokey and dated, jug bands enjoyed a brief revival in the ’60s before lapsing back into obscurity. Fortunately, they’ve enjoyed a comeback in recent years, embracing the form in all of its eye-rolling, bad-gag glory. Featuring the Club Zayante Jug Stompers, this juke-joint jamboree is a celebration of jug band music and its many dorky charms. Don Quixote’s; $10; 6pm. (PMD)

E6/B B63 3::- Kurt Elling busts genres this Monday with vocal remakes of instrumental jazz standards.

It’s risky business embarking on a tour that pays tribute to the likes of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, no matter your artistic pedigree. Well loved baritone vocalist Kurt Elling raises the stakes on what is already a seemingly no-win proposition by offering vocal reinterpretations of work composed or popularized by these instrumental jazz giants. It’s an audacious move, but Elling makes it work with his iconoclastic vision and prodigious talents, buoyed by a crack band that includes Ernie Watts on tenor sax. Kuumbwa; $25 advance/$28 door; 7 and 9pm. (PMD)

Dr. Manhattan Woody Allen’s ‘Whatever Works’ stands by its title 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE LOVE of the last word is the province of comedians; when you put someone down you want them to stay down. Over the now traditional white-on-black titles of Whatever Works, the new Woody Allen movie, Groucho Marx sings, “Hello, I Must Be Going.� The reference is surely to Groucho’s own habit of spraying a thin layer of derision around the room. The main character here is Larry David’s Boris Yellnikoff. Though he’s Jewish and from the outer boroughs, really he’s a Scandinavian/Germanic–style misanthrope, the type that Max von Sydow played seriously in Hannah and Her Sisters, with remarkably similar dialogue. It’s cinema tragedy reinvented as a standup act. Whatever Works is a weird mix of Ibsen and Doc Simon. Boris addresses an audience only he can see. He sports a terrible limp from his suicide attempt years previously. He was formerly a physics professor, shortlisted for the Nobel Prize (“It was all politics, just like any award�); today, he is retired, a free-range castigator, teaching chess (brutally) to children and living in a bricklined vault in Manhattan’s Chinatown. One evening, Boris finds a girl curled up on a piece of cardboard under his fire escape. The waif is Melodie St. Anne Celeste (Evan Rachel Wood), a former Mississippi beauty queen who fled the Deep South and has no plans. Boris reluctantly puts her up. He takes her to the New York sites she wants to see. Melodie takes Boris’ imprint completely—his rants, his phobias and his dislike of sex—and marries him. A year afterward, the in-laws arrive for a first visit: Marietta (Patricia Clarkson) believes that she has tracked her runaway

daughter down and is outraged to find the girl married to a neurotic man old enough to be her grandfather. Soon thereafter, Marietta’s estranged husband (Ed Begley Jr.) shows up in the apartment. The lines—at least every third line—are funny. People have been saying that it’s Larry David who took Allen’s imprint. Rather, David is part of a chain of sarcasm whose links include Groucho, S.J. Perelman, Harvey Pekar, Robert Crumb and Allen. It’ll be the end of the line soon. Clarkson is good, of course, as a scratching post for Boris the grouch—a hybrid sort of Margaret DuBois or Blanche Dumont. Marietta even gasps, “You’re not the gentleman I was expecting�—a play reference in a movie that’s a bit too

much like a play anyway. But she advances the action by introducing Melodie to a younger and seemingly more suitable man, Randy (Henry Cavill), as flat as the handsome prince in a prep-school play. Whatever Works is based on a script Allen had in his drawer for several decades, and it looks it. The audience laughs indulgently at a scene of one character being picked up by a gay man, with moldy dialogue that might have been laughable 40 years ago. The homosexual refers to his ex-lover as “my wife� so that his naive pickup-to-be replies, “Is your mother a woman?� David’s sneer is as effective here as it is on Curb Your Enthusiasm, yet it’s hard to handle the eventual humanizing of Boris. If you see the universe as a violent machine that’s

running down, why are you warmed—as Boris is—by the miracle of unlikely birth, of the astronomical odds resulting in people? What does a miracle matter, if it only leads to disaster? This wonder-of-life argument is the same argument that led the icy physics professor Dr. Manhattan back to humanity in Watchmen, and it’s not any more believable here.

WHATEVER WORKS (PG-13; 92 min.), written and directed by Woody Allen, photographed by Harris Savides and starring Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood, opens Friday at the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz.

never read the novel this movie is based on—Robert L. Pike’s Mute Witness—but apparently it’s set in Boston, has no car chases, and features a lame lead character who eats a lot of ice cream.

insurance broker, and his pregnant mate, the dour, nervous Verona (SNL alum Maya Rudolph) seek a community. Sadly, they learn that America is a beautiful country full of ugly people. The two travel, meeting parents who are too permissive, or not permissive enough, before visiting an idealistic couple with a multiracial von Trapp– like family in Montreal. Not enough jokes, by a long chalk. Alison Janney, the standout, as a sharp-tongued mom, is only temporary relief from the two leads: the moral and physical center of this movie’s universe. The writers are San Francisco’s Dave

Eggers and his wife, Vendela Vida, writers who seek the wonder and freshness in aged platitudes about the innocence of children.

young man, nicknamed Cheri (Rupert Friend). Cheri is the son of Madame Peloux, Lea’s frenemy. In Cheri, director Stephen Frears reunites with scriptwriter Christopher Hampton and star Pfeiffer to revisit the type of games all three of them played 20 years ago in Dangerous Liaisons. The film brings out Pfeiffer’s gloriousness, her translucent skin, the limbs and hair still golden. But this deeply Southern Californian actress tries to play a Parisienne through formal diction and an exhausted drawl. Something simpler might have worked better. Yet Kathy Bates’ Madame Peloux walks away with this picture, not that she does much walking. She spends a good deal of the film with feet propped up, a half-smile on her face. Here is a woman, in author ZZ Packer’s phrase, who wears her fat like a mink coat. She looks like a woman who knew how to keep her customers amused. 3/AG D7@BC3 (PG-

13; 100 min.) Circa 1928: Larita, an outrÊ American female racecar driver (Jessica Biel), arrives at the English country mansion of her new husband, John Whittaker (Ben Barnes). Still in possession of the place is his dragon of a mother, Mrs. Whittaker (Kristin Scott Thomas), and John’s formerly wayward stepfather, Mr. Whittaker (Colin Firth). It’s hard to understand why Stephan Elliott decided to redo Noel Coward like a man trying to refurbish an antique with Day-Glo paint. Elliott’s timing isn’t bad, but he does go inadvisedly modern, adding a butt shot, a crunched Chihuahua and a bit about an English fox hunt I’d swear was pinched from Auntie Mame.

min.) The most necessary film of the summer. The outrages of corporate food production are exposed in this fast and infuriating documentary by Robert Kenner. Defying the lawyers, one corporate chicken farmer shows us her wretched,

antibiotic-packed birds. Today’s industry lobbyist is tomorrow’s regulator, as sure as today’s pig is tomorrow’s bacon. Drooling packed-in steers are fattened with cheap Iowa corn; it breeds E. coli in their guts. The nighannual outbreaks of E. coli are seemingly the cost of business, a price paid even by spinach-eating vegetarians. Director Kenner can’t be accused of starry-eyed idealism. Food, Inc. reminds that if the United States could make Big Tobacco come to heel, then agribusiness’s wasteful and deadly practices can be stopped. (RvB) B63 6/<5=D3@ (R;

100 min.) A well-built, good-looking and satisfyingly low comedy with a sturdy silentmovie two-reeler plot and the wit to realize that the Three Stooges format is solid gold. A quartet of Southern California types heads to Vegas for a bachelor party. Cut, eventually, to The Morning After: The groom has vanished, and the three chumps, rendered amnesiac by booze, must search for him. They are: kittywhipped, Larry-like Stu (Ed Helms), confident but wrongheaded Moe-style leader Phil (Bradley Cooper) and the “one-man wolf pack� Alan, played by the film’s standout, Zach Galifianakis, Curlying beautifully. Stick with it, since the first third is hit and miss; later, director Todd Phillips solidly builds the situations, thinking up strategies to bolster the risky comedy. (RvB) :/<2 =4 B63 :=AB

(PG-13; 93 min.) You probably remember this Sid and Marty Krofft TV series about a family transported to prehistoric times as completely stupid, because you are a pleasant, well-adjusted person with excellent hygiene. But just to show that absolutely anything on television can inspire terrifying loyalty, I will point out that someone wrote a dictionary for the language spoken by Cha-Ka, the caveman who made friends with the Marshalls and taught them his native tongue.

Perhaps the supernerds who are on the Internet complaining about how the producers of this film turned the series into a Will Ferrell comedy should be happy Mel Gibson didn’t sign up to direct and make it a somber meditation on the nature of primate society, with unsubtitled dialogue in Cha-Kaese. Hey, it’s pretty much what happened to Lost in Space. (SP) ;G A7AB3@¸A 933>3@

Traditions honored include the green babe (Rachel Nichols) and the red-shirted ensign. As Kirk, Chris Pine himself is the ham this sandwich needs. Zachary Quinto is very poised as Spock, the tragic mulatto of space.

(Previously, it was French cinematic patrimony, in Assayas’ best-known film here, Irma Vep). At her 75th birthday party, HĂŠlène (Edith Scob) prepares to divide up her worldly goods among her children. These children are scattered all over the globe and don’t have the wherewithal to keep a luscious summer house going; the place is stuffed with valuable art pieces, too, which will have to be doled out to relatives and museums. HĂŠlène was the longtime companion (perhaps more) of her uncle, a noted postImpressionist; the slightly awkward legacy is puzzled out during the extended mourning session after HĂŠlène drops dead. It takes a perceptive director to remember the physical similarities between the young girl Scob was (in Eyes Without a Face) and Juliette Binoche, here playing HĂŠlène’s daughter, the one who inherited the family’s artistic gifts. Mulling over the cultural and financial primacy that’s migrated out of France into China and America, Summer Hours makes no recriminations.

Assayas is gentle about the harsh edge of time scraping away things that are traditionally French, leaving behind the pop (mono)culture of superheroes, sneakers and drinking beer from the bottle. At a final house party for the family, he dwells on a trio of charming young modern girls dancing to Les Plastiscines’ terrific punk tune “Loser,� as if they were the Three Graces or something.

min.) Off to college goes young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) trying to forget the trauma of watching the robots destroy L.A. The government covered it up—everybody is indeed just that stupid in a Michael Bay movie. Sadly, a chip of the spark cube stuck to Sam’s shirt, and that starts the whole mess over again: indistinguishable robot-clobber with warlike threats (“You want a piece of me?� is one uttered by these immemorial interstellar bots from beyond the stars). Manly Air Force officers in camouflage strut in slo-mo amid more cargo planes than one would see in an “Army of One� commercial. We cut to some frog-baiting: the Witwicky parents go to Paris, where they are pestered by mimes and eat snails. (“This looks like Canadian goose poop!� cries Dad.) If Transformers keeps ugly Americans away from France, this movie won’t have been made in vain for nothing. The Titaniclike sinking of an aircraft carrier is the standout

animation, and it was an unusually good idea to stage a fight scene at the antique Delaware Power Station in Philadelphia. There seemed a little more breathing room in the finale, too, despite the incredible repetition of action sequences. Megan Fox, as the gurl, conceals her new tattoos with way too many clothes, so we can’t confirm rumors that one of the tats says “Angelina Jolie, I’m taking your job� in Latin. LaBeouf is probed by crab-bots trying to find the source of his unkillable smirk. The deservedly famous Bro Rape video on YouTube is the only possible cure for the dorm scenes at ivy-covered PSIU.

Good Food on a Budget One food writer wonders how to eat well while cutting his family’s meal expenses 0G AB3BB 6=:0@==9

H

AVE YOU ever added up exactly how much you spend on food each month? It’s not for the faint of heart. I did in an effort to get control of my budget (such as it is), and I was shocked by what I found. Not counting my restaurant review meals, my family and I spend about $1,000 a month on food. A grand a month! That’s $250 a week. That seems like an awful lot of money to me, especially these days. If we always bought expensive cheese, pricey wine and lots of meat and fish I could see that sum being reasonable, but we don’t. I try to limit to my wine purchases to $15 or less. I buy in bulk as much as possible (hello Costco), and because we’re mainly vegetarian, fresh fruit and vegetables make up the bulk of what we buy. So why are our food bills so high? Part of the problem could be how we shop. Instead of planning out our meals and making one big shopping trip, we make lots of little runs—a gallon of milk and dozen eggs here, a pint of gelato and a six pack of beer there and a few trips in between. Spending $20 or $30 bucks every few days doesn’t feel like much, but I’ve discovered how quickly it adds up. It’s really death by a thousand cuts. I guess $5 pints of vanilla gelato don’t help either.

43327<5 4@3<HG After realizing his family spends $1,000 a month on food, writer Stett Holbrook is looking for ways to trim the bill.

I’m a firm believer in spending more for quality, food included. But eating well shouldn’t be prohibitively expensive. I guess it’s all in how one defines “eating well.� For me, that means little or no processed food and plenty of fresh produce in season. Food is of course a necessary expense, but there’s a lot of discretion on how to spend your food dollar. But the ironic thing about food when you buy fresh, unprocessed ingredients and cook for yourself rather than opening a can or box, eating well generally costs less. At least that’s my belief. I intend to put my belief to the test in the months to come. I’ve set out to see

j "%

A/<B/1@CH 1=; july 1-8, 2009 3>71C@3

how low I can go and still eat well. My goal is to lower my food bill to $700. To start, I’m going to plan a week’s worth of meals and try to limit my trips to the store. I’m also going to try to make as much food as possible to avoid costly packaged food. Crackers, bread, salsa and ice cream are at the top of the list. I’ll let you know how I do. I’m guessing I’m not the only one taking a hard look at their grocery store receipts in an effort to rein in spending. How much do you spend on food a month? What high-priced items are you willing to give up? What foods do you have to have, budget be damned? Any money-saving strategies? Pass them on. 0

/@73A (March 21–April 19): Time to diversify your energy sources, Aries. It’s as if you’ve grown too dependent on oil—metaphorically speaking—and have neglected to develop relationships with wind turbines, solar panels, natural gas, and other mans of generating power. What if in the future— metaphorically speaking—oil becomes scarcer or wildly expensive? And what if, over the long haul, its byproducts degrade your environment? I suggest you start now to expand the variety of fuels you tap into. It’s a perfect moment to adjust your plans for your long-term energy needs.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, artist, or self-employed with your own career, Marc Allen offers simple things you can do to assure your success.

B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): Your mirror may lie to you this week. A friend might neglect to share a crucial detail. Even pets and heroes and normally reliable suppliers might not be completely there for you. Fortunately, I expect that secondary sources will come through. Other people’s mirrors may reveal a clue you haven’t been able to find in your own. An acquaintance could step forward and do a convincing impersonation of a friend. And a previously overlooked or unknown connection might become your own personal wellspring. Moral of the story: If you’re willing to be f lexible and forswear all impulses to blame, you won’t be deprived of what you need. 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): Having discovered I can read the minds of animals, I’ve started a new sideline as a ghostwriter. Here’s an excerpt from an interview I did with Prestige, a potbellied pig born under the sign of Gemini. Brezsny: What do you like best about being a potbellied pig? Prestige: I’m greedy but cute. I get to eat like a pig, yet not be victimized by the negative judgments people usually project onto pigs. Brezsny: Is there anything you’re worried about? Prestige: I need to make my caretaker understand that for the next few weeks we Geminis will need more than the usual amounts of food, love, presents, praise, attention, everything. Brezsny: Anything you’d like to say to my Gemini readers? Prestige: Don’t let anybody make you feel guilty for wanting what you want.

1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): The ancient Chinese sage Lao Tse said, “People of the highest caliber, upon hearing about Taoism, follow it and practice it immediately. People of average caliber, hearing about Taoism, ref lect for a while and then experiment. People of the lowest caliber, hearing about Taoism, let out a big laugh.� Now substitute the words “your splashy new ideas� for “Taoism� in Lao Tse’s quote and you’ll have your horoscope for this week, Cancerian. For added punch, remember what he said in another context: “No idea can be considered valuable until a thousand people have laughed at it.� :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): Nietzsche’s dictum might be useful for you to keep in mind right now, Leo: “If it doesn’t kill you, it’ll make you stronger.� Since I’m very sure that the turbulent waters through which you’re navigating will not kill you, I’m looking forward to all the ways this journey will upgrade your confidence and enhance your power. But there’s more to be gained, beyond what Nietzsche formulated. It’s also true that if it doesn’t kill you (which it won’t), it will make you wilder and kinder and smarter and more beautiful. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): According to my projections, you will not, in the coming weeks, meet a dark, secretive stranger who’ll play you like a violin. Nor will you be lured to the warehouse district after midnight to pick up the “missing stuff.� And I highly doubt that you will be invited to join a cult that’s conspiring to seize political power following the events of Dec. 21, 2012. No, Virgo. Your fate is far more mundane than that. In fact, it’s more likely that you will soon meet a bright, forthright stranger who will play you like an accordion. You will be drawn to a convenient location at midday to pick up the “missing stuff.� And you will be invited to become part of a group that has the potential to play a significant role in your quest for meaning in the coming years. :70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): For years, I’ve remembered most of my dreams every night, so I’m good at spotting trends. And one of the themes that has arisen recently involves you Libras. Last week, I dreamed that three of my Libra friends were pole vaulting at the Olympics. Four nights ago, I dreamed that my two favorite Libran astrologers were rappelling up a skyscraper. Last night, I dreamed that four Libran celebrities—Mahatma Gandhi,

By Rob Brezsny

Gwen Stefani, Sacha Baron Cohen (a.k.a. Borat), and Kate Winslet—climbed a gold ladder to a cafe on a cloud where they drank magic coffee that made wings sprout on their backs. So what’s going on? Is my subconscious telling me that it’s prime time for you to raise your expectations and upgrade your goals? Do my dreams mean you should rise above the conventional wisdom and rededicate yourself to your loftiest ambitions? What do you think?

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Spiritual epiphany alert! Uncanny revelations imminent! Hope you don’t mind being awoken in the middle of your regularly scheduled life by a special delivery from the Great Beyond. Yes, my cute little bundle of rumbling feelings and psychic sensitivities: It doesn’t matter if you’re a true believer or an unrepentant infidel—you will soon be invited to have one of your logical certainties torn out by the roots and replaced with a throbbing vision of cosmic whoopee. Brace yourself for the most pungent fun you’ve had since your last mudwrestle with the angel.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): While appearing on the TV show “I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here,� ex-pro basketball player John Salley gave some advice I’d like to pass along. “When you see crazy coming your way,� he philosophized, “you should cross the street.� I do think crazy will be headed in your direction sometime soon, Sagittarius, and the best response you can make is to avoid it altogether, preferably in a way that it doesn’t notice you. That’s right: Don’t shout at crazy, don’t bolt away ostentatiously, and certainly don’t run up and give crazy a big hug. There are far better ways for you to gather in your fair share of intriguing mystery; I’d hate to see you get bogged down in a useless, inferior version of it. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Everyone wants an extra piece of you these days, and they don’t necessarily care about how it will affect you. So beware of emotional manipulation, subliminal seduction, and the temptation to believe in impossible promises. To make matters more extreme, I suspect you may be secretly pleased that everyone wants an extra piece of you—and might be tempted to conspire in your own dismantling. Let me propose a compromise. How about letting three trustworthy people—no more—take an extra piece of you? And be very certain that they have enough self-control to know when to stop taking.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): You’re almost never one brick short of a load. Know what I’m saying? Your elevator almost always goes all the way to the top f loor. Rarely, if ever, do I have to warn you against playing with a deck of 51 cards. So I hope you don’t be offended when I say that it’s time to find that missing brick and service your elevator and buy a new deck.
