E6G 7¸; D=B7<5 ¡<=¸ =< >@=> ' ONCE, as a teenage pothead, I was issued an admonishment from an older family friend to get off the goddamned reefer. In response, I think I muttered something about peace, love and industrial hemp; I can’t remember. However, I do recall telling him that pot is harmless and that government resources ought to be directed toward combating the real threat of hard drugs. His reply was awfully memorable—you’ll have to admit, it’s a real gem, no matter what your personal feelings are regarding pot use. He said: “Pot is worse than those other drugs, because on pot, you can be a junkie and live, whereas a methhead or dope fiend will have the common courtesy to kick the bucket

before long, if he doesn’t kick the habit.� At the time I found that statement to be ridiculously callous, but with the benefit of 12 years’ hindsight, full of man-boobs and mediocrity, I can finally see its wisdom. Yet, can one person’s bad behavior possibly rationalize mass behavioral regulation? Though I’m at a loss to recall an example, anthropologists agree that such has certainly been the case before in our history as a species. Advocates of legalization argue that booze is far more harmful. Maybe so, but is that any reason why a second such substance ought to receive the same legal sanction as the first? Pot use probably has a cumulative effect comparable to alcohol’s short-term one. I could be wrong: I mean, apathy, credulity, arrested development, consumption of endocrine-disrupting

substances by a population leading a sedentary lifestyle while its property values plummet and its manufacturing base is outsourced to China—none of these factors have ever impeded American society, nor impaired it to the slightest degree. That must be why none of them are illegal. Yet if I had a dime bag for every late twentysomething stuck felching off of parents, working a dead-end job, impeded in enjoying their intellect and the full potential of their relationships as emotional maturity recedes off onto the horizon—if I had that many dime bags, I’d only have enough weed to satisfy all those people for about and hour and a half. Supporters of Prop. 19, Santa Cruz’s eternal coalition of the toothless among them, want to have their space cake and eat their brownies, too. Pot is harmless—which is why we need to take cultivation and sales out of the hands of violent thugs. No one should be languishing in jail for weed— though in California the laws are such that hardly anyone is or ever will. Pot regulation ought to be a matter for local jurisdiction— except in municipalities that impose regulations potheads don’t like. No law ought to regulate what adults knowingly ingest—thus, government resources ought to be directed toward combating hard drugs. I have little sympathy for people who desecrate their bodies. It’s their secondary victims I feel for. I hate tobacco smoke. I don’t go to bars because I loathe insipid banter and mindless violence and can’t stand the smell of stale piss and live tissue as it turns all brackish gray from the inside. Often, while riding my bicycle I smell pot smoke wafting out of passing cars and I wonder when that driver, with his reduced reaction time and titillating, juvenile preoccupations that allow so little distinction between driving and standing still, is going to send me to join the skunks and squirrels with their brains splattered across the pavement. God forbid that day ever comes, but if it does, I hope the ER doctor isn’t a pot smoker, and that pothead driver’s lawyer is. Aaron Cress, Santa Cruz

Grave Matters

Capitola City Council 0=0 035C< ;716/3: B3@;7<7 Capitola has nearly built out its tourist, shopping and residential zones, so ideological battles are few and practical matters—especially financial and planning issues—dominate. Incumbent Bob Begun, who served as city treasurer, has been a sterling enforcer of financial responsibility. Past Planning Commissioner and Councilmember Michael Termini brings a mastery of planning and housing to the rotunda. Incumbent Sam Storey, defender of social services, and past Councilmember Stephanie Harlan, dedicated to preserving mobile home parks, are also strong public servants. But Begun and Termini are our top recommendations.

/:;=AB 63/D3< Developers Rick Moe (left) and Craig Rowell say their project is ideal: infill with services and access to public transit.

O

CEAN STREET Extension is a dead end—quite literally, for its residents interred at Santa Cruz Memorial Park, catching up on their eternal rest at the mausoleum or awaiting the fiery furnaces at the crematorium. Not much happens next door, either. On the hillside immediately adjacent to the crematorium is a grassy, 2.74-acre parcel that is vacant except for some deer, coastal live oak and eucalyptus trees. But spirits are stirring. Developers Rick Moe and Craig Rowell envision the land as a resting place of sorts—but for the still living, with beds and pillows, not coffins. They want to build 40 apartments on the bucolic yet mildly morbid street. “We were going to call it Dead Man’s Curve or Serenity Gardens,� jokes Rowell, walking up the grade to show off the view. He adds, more seriously, “You don’t really think about the graveyard while you’re up here.� The planned project includes 10 buildings, covered parking spaces and a pool. Each apartment, which will rent for about $1,600 to $1,800 a month, will have its own storage unit and a washer and dryer. The slope is steep, so although the one- and two-

bedroom units will front Ocean Street Extension, they’ll sit high above it, at least 25 feet from the street. Their living areas, kitchens, dining rooms and decks will face southwest. They’ll get good light and views of the Mission’s steeple, the Metro bus center downtown and tombstones. “Some people will find it disturbing, but we think there are plenty of people who will enjoy the serenity of it,â€? Moe says. Indeed, the cemetery makes for quiet neighbors. But Moe and Rowell can’t say the same for the “pitchforkâ€?wielding ones farther down the street. Neighbor Ellen Aldridge and several other members of the Ocean Street Extension Neighborhood Association, along with their attorney, attended a city Planning Commission meeting earlier this month and voiced their opposition to the proposed apartments. The land is currently zoned for singlefamily homes and it should remain that way, Aldridge says. “It’s a very rural road,â€? she says. “Our main argument is that the infrastructure just isn’t there to support what the city is planning to do, which is change the General Plan, change the zoning, develop on a 30 percent slope, throw all ¨'

Eight candidates are competing for three open seats on the Santa Cruz City Council in an election that could well see a seismic shift toward the center for a body long dominated by progressives. Termed-out are the left-leaning Mike Rotkin and Cynthia Mathews; up for re-election is pragmatic incumbent Lynn Robinson. Leading the field are Robinson; business-friendly moderate Dave Terrazas, who came within 45 votes of unseating Tony Madrigal in 2008; and real estate agent Hilary Bryant, another moderate. Running from the left are Capitola housing and redevelopment manager David Foster, retired firefighter Ron Pomerantz and grant writer Steve Pleich. Republican insurance executive Kevin Moon and executive assistant Gus Ceballos round out the field. Several candidates several stand out from this generally strong field. Hilary Bryant is a smart straight shooter with a strong community orientation complementing a pro-business platform. Lynn Robinson has proven herself a conscientious member of the council who deserves another term. David Foster’s mastery of the details of governance, coupled with progressive values and a dose of pragmatism (unlike many lefties, he supported a Westside conference center), make him a strong choice. Santa Cruz needs focused, innovative leadership. Bryant, Foster and Robinson will provide that.

Lompico Water District @=0 6/<A3:

Four candidates are vying for two open seats on the board of directors of this small but troubled water district, which this

year has been beset by embezzlement and a grand jury report detailing a history of gross mismanagement. The current board has responded by exploring a merger with the larger, healthier San Lorenzo Valley Water District—a smart move if it can be done, though Lompico would first have to repair its system to the tune of $2.3 million. Meanwhile, the very notion of merging has some independent-minded mountain folk rallying around the battle cry of “local control�—even though that hasn’t exactly worked out for Lompico. Of the four candidates, Santa Cruz Weekly is endorsing one: incumbent Rob Hansel, the only candidate to come out clearly in favor of pursuing the merger. As a member of the current board, which has responded well to the crisis, Hansel has the advantage of being up to speed on efforts to fix the system’s leaky tanks and pipes. Candidate Sean Wharton, who has served on previous boards, takes no position on the merger and says he would first pursue critical repairs that he says can be made without a rate increase. Candidate Shannar Abraham, who has sat on two previous boards, says establishing financial stability is his chief concern. Candidate Sherwin Gott is dead-set against a merger and proposes a cheaper slate of repairs. It’s a bold move, but a secure water supply in an era of climate change and fire hazard is too important to gamble with.

Measure H G3A Measure H is being touted as a way to fund extra police officers, which many residents and business owners have been demanding ever since gang violence began intensifying on the Westside. But faced with a 1.5 percent increase in the utility tax (from 7 to 8.5 percent), which would add $5–$6 a month to the average household’s financial burden, some are now balking. No doubt that’s due in part to public outrage over police and firefighter pensions. Others oppose all regressive taxes, which this, admittedly, is—though an exemption for seniors and low-income folks mitigates that problem. But to oppose Measure H on these grounds is to ignore some key facts. First, these aren’t extra police officers at all—they’re eight positions lost through attrition that are finally being refunded. Similarly, Measure H doesn’t bring in extra revenue, either; rather, its estimated $1.6 million a year will backfill a hole created when the 911 emergency service tax sunsetted in the summer of 2008 (and a poorly timed August election sabotaged its chances for reinstatement). This is not about a surplus so fat cats can go on a spree. At best, Measure H will restore city revenues to a little below normal. As a well-crafted, necessary mechanism designed to offset the very worst effects of the recession, it deserves a “yes� vote.

the building rules out the window and build a high-density development.� At its October meeting, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to Nov. 7, at which point commissioners will decide whether to greenlight the project and forward it on to the City Council for review. “There’s already no parking on our street—the street’s a mess—and it’s going to create a bottleneck,� Aldridge says. And then there’s the issue of mercury emissions.

Toxins and Traffic On a chilly October afternoon, Aldridge stands across the street from the crematorium. “See those smoke stacks? See the smoke coming out? Those are dead bodies being burned,� she says. During cremation the deceased— and their dental fillings—incinerate, releasing dangerous toxins into the air and water. This worries Aldridge and an increasing number of environmentalists and neighborhood activists. A few years ago, Richmond residents successfully fought plans to build a crematorium, citing concern about toxic emissions. “All that exhaust,� Aldridge says, “and that all has mercury vapor if the dead person has silver fillings. “I’ve made peace being on a street with a cemetery. At first it kinda creeped me out. But this�—she points to the clear vapor rising from the smoke stacks, shimmering like heat waves rising off the road on a hot day— “this is disturbing.� Burning dead people and their fillings doesn’t bother Mike Gilroy, deputy director of the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District. City planners have recommended a “mitigated negative declaration� for the apartment proposal, which means that the project wouldn’t require an full environmental impact report. Gilroy says he doesn’t see any need to push for additional environmental review. “There’s a miniscule amount of dental mercury vapor that can be released from dental fillings, and, as the EPA says, they can be released while you’re chewing, not just burning in a crematorium,� he says. “What our agency commented on, when we reviewed the land-use permit for this project, we commented very specifically that the project should not be allowed to be built with fireplaces or woodburning devices because pollution from

fireplaces is a much greater issue than mercury fillings.� The traffic study submitted by the developers found that the project will generate an estimated 266 daily car trips—25 of these happening during after-work rush hour. Still, it found that the additional traffic wouldn’t add sufficient congestion to require any mitigation measures. Regardless, Moe and Rowell plan to add two landscaped islands to improve traffic flow.

‘I’ve made peace being on a street with a cemetery. At first it kinda creeped me out. But this—this is disturbing.’ —ELLEN ALDRIDGE

Additionally, Santa Cruz City Planner Janice Lumm says planning staff will continue reviewing neighbors’ concerns about additional car trips between now and the Nov. 7 meeting. Back on the property, both developers and neighbors say they’re looking out for the community’s best interest. “We’ve spent most of our development careers trying to build small, modest living spaces,� Moe says, citing the duo’s Cormorant Court Apartments on Frederick Street and Roosevelt Terrace cottage-style homes, among other developments. “This is the kind of development the city encourages,� Rowell adds. “It’s an infill project, with city services. We have sewer. We have water. We have power. We’re on the bus line. You can get downtown easily on foot or bike.� Aldridge says she doesn’t question Moe and Rowell’s developer cred. It’s the project that doesn’t fit: “Does it belong here?� The proposed development’s nextdoor neighbors, meanwhile, remain deathly quiet about the project. 0

OMBIES are getting dangerously close to market saturation. What started out as a cult genre, contributing classics like Night of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead to the horror canon, has spawned an alarmingly pervasive fad that, true to form, stubbornly refuses to die. An army of former Boy Scouts has reclaimed the slogan “Always Be Prepared� and created a cottage industry devoted to readying our society for a coordinated attack by armies of the undead. A search of the term “zombie defense� yields mindless hordes of sites filled with information to help a person prepare for the impending invasion, like the

Zombie Preparedness Initiative (tagline: “Keep Your Head. Remove Theirs.â€?) or ZombieDefense. org (helpful rule of thumb: “Once she tries to claw the gray matter out of your head, she’s not your mom anymoreâ€?). There are books, like the wildly popular Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead, and a number of conventions, like Seattle’s ZomBCon 2010, slated for this Halloween weekend (featuring a “Zombie Combat Workshopâ€?). At the beginning it may have been a tribute to imagination and creative spirit, but at this point the zombie fixation is verging on a collective delusion. It’s time to break out the chain saw (or machete or fire-ax—your choice) and decapitate this trend for good. ¨ #

Slutty Costumes Years ago, when Lindsay Lohan was an actress and not a collector of alcohol monitoring bracelets, she was in Mean Girls, which featured many astute observations about popular culture. Among them was this memorable gem: that Halloween night is “the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.� And the ladies have worked it. You can’t swing a dead black cat on Halloween night without smacking a bustier, and chances are a set of thighhighs and hot pants aren’t far away, whether in black and blue (sexy cop),

black and white (sexy French maid), blue and white (sexy Alice in Wonderland), all white (sexy nurse), all red (sexy devil)—you get the picture. The very first pregnant nun was clever and cute, like the first dude who got a barbed wire tattoo on his bicep (not really). Inevitably we had men dressed as pregnant nuns, and eventually the deconstruction was complete with a yearly supply of scantily dressed pregnant nuns. We get it, move on. Slutty male costumes are even less inspired. All it takes is a normal costume, sans shirt. The most disturbing trend of late is the slutty costume filtering down into younger and younger ranks. Ten-yearolds dressing as Pocahontas need not ¨ $

be in a tube top and body glitter. Not only is that wildly factually incorrect, it’s pretty creepy. Perhaps Mom realizes she can’t quite pull off the slutty nun costume anymore, so little Sally gets handed the sexy Halloween mantle. No, Sally, we’d much rather see you as an adorable witch than a backup dancer for Lady Gaga. (Speaking of witches, will Christine O’Donnell be the Sarah Palin of 2010? Here’s hoping.) In this post–Jersey Shore and pre-Palinpresidency world in which we live, let’s give sluts a rest, shall we? For one night, Halloween should be about being as gross, scary and drippy as one can allow.

Saw Films One day people will ask each other—not a lot of people, but some people—“Do you remember what happened the year Saw XV came out?’� If the past is any indication, that should be happening in October of 2018. Every single Halloween since 2004, we’ve been graced with another uninspired installment of Saw. The first one was somewhat original, if gruesome-bordering-on-snuff. It also unfortunately unleashed “torture porn,� a subgenre of horror films. The most disturbing part of this trend is the classic horror films that have been remade in Saw’s image, such as the new versions of Halloween and Friday the 13th. These new films have no context or metaphorical importance; they’re pure gore for gore’s

sake. Saw started this entire trend, and it needs to die this Halloween, with the opening this weekend of Saw VII 3D. Producers have promised this will be the final installment. We’ll be happy to throw the first shovelful of dirt on its casket.

Disneyfied Princesses There are a few Halloween characters to whom the befuddled question “And what are you?â€? is never posed. The troops of Darth Vaders walk through crowds unremarked, and behind the perfectly obvious Jack Sparrows skip the unmistakable Disney princesses, their mass-produced, cut-and-paste templates the tired fallback for parents who are too weary or too lacking in imagination to resist their kids’ addiction to the Walt Disney magic. And yet the costume manufacturers and perhaps the licensing lawyers seem to feel that the “Disney dozenâ€? costumes need to be further Disneyfied, maybe by screenprinting castles on skirts or gluing a plaque with Snow White’s smiling face front and center— just in case there is any doubt about the identity of that yellow skirt and ebony black wig. And yet there’s never been any doubt. The blue f louncy dress will always be Cinderella, no need to include a portrait, and when I was a 6year-old princess Jasmine, no one had to ¨

tack a picture of her to my back for my look to make sense. If a Belle costume is lame enough that it doesn’t scream Belle, you should keep shopping, kid, but if it looks like Sleeping Beauty and a questioned child says it is Sleeping Beauty, respect the intelligence of the masses and bury the plaque in the back yard with the fake plastic skeletons.

Sanctimonious Treats Halloween is the blackmail holiday. “Trick or treat� may sound cute sung out by a chorus of the aforementioned Disney princesses, but it’s really a ransom demand and should be treated as such. Apples, mini-boxes of raisins, hand sanitizer, dental accoutrements (toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss) and pencils (even when Halloween-themed) do not constitute “treats,� particularly when considered alongside the king-size Snickers from next door. Even a kid with diabetes would rather just stay home then be “rewarded� for the long hours he spent pouring into construction of his Iron Man costume with a treat that is really a lecture in disguise. Anyone who wants to get on their high horse and make Halloween a nutritional teaching moment deserves the toiletpaper treatment their house gets. We’re all given fair warning, after all.

Twilight Mania Halloween really ought to be the only time it is appropriate to dress, act or obsess over vampires. And that’s for kids, to say nothing of grown-ass men and women. To Twilight creator Stephanie Meyer’s credit, the series made some important contributions to society, succeeding where so many well-meaning librarians have failed by getting young folks excited about reading and making luminescent pale skin, rather than a hide basted and browned in a tanning booth, cool. But these positive effects are greatly outweighed by the damage caused: the abstinence-only message promoted by the book (everyone saw how well that worked when instituted as a nationwide curriculum); the blown eardrums of bystanders, innocent except for the fact that they wandered within a 10-mile radius of Robert Pattinson; the potential biohazard of making blood a love memento. If someone really wanted to do Twi-hard kids (and, ahem, adults) a favor, they’d stop writing fan fiction and instead get to work composing a resolution restricting vampires exclusively to Allhallows Eve. Who seconds the motion for a new day to dawn, turning this fad to dust?

Bad Candy And another thing: those weird peanut butter kisses wrapped in black or orange wax paper? Keep those, too. The youngsters won’t stand for those, not when there are Reese’s and Hersheys and Kit Kats to be had. Americans do cheap sugar and fat better than most countries. To patriotically support the troops and defeat terrorists this Halloween, we need candy dipped in peanut butter dipped in caramel dipped in chocolate dipped in America! That means no Necco wafers, with their subdued, vaguely European flavor; no Mary Janes (molasses and peanut butter??); and no tasteless candy corn, especially if it’s just thrown into the bag by the handful. This is not a U.N. refugee camp and those kids aren’t waiting for a few grains of rice. They want empty calories, chocolate and a sugar rush, so no cheaping out.

This was going to be a rant against the relatively recent trend of stringing orange (and now purple) lights outside the house, Christmas-like, in honor of Halloween. Because really, it’s just more stuff in a world that doesn’t need any more small, cheap, breakable items. But the fact is, it looks kind of cute, and who doesn’t like a little twinkly somethingsomething in these dark days? But the inflatable yard ornament, with its noisy, wasteful little generator running all night long and its nylon all weirdly collapsed on itself in the morning like the Wicked Witch of the West postbucket-of-water? Ix-nay! Get those things out of here! The Santas and Frostys are bad enough at Christmas, but to have illuminated black cats and jack-o-lanterns and stupid chopper-riding skeletons on the lawn for a holiday that doesn’t even have any redeeming social value is just going too far. And we’re not gonna take it anymore.

Keys to the Kingdom Van Cliburn winner Jon Nakamatsu shows what the true king of instruments can do 0G A1=BB ; /1 1:3::/<2

B

ACK in the 14th century, poet/composer Guillaume de Machaut is said to have described the pipe organ as “the king of instruments.� He had no idea that in two short centuries his descendent composers would begin to replace Pythagorean tuning with the early forms of the equal-tempered scale. He likewise would have had no way of imagining the rise of modern harmony that resulted, much less the explosion of instrumental music that would launch the Baroque era and dominate Western European music for centuries to come. If he had, Guillaume would be forced to concede that the concert grand piano is the true king of instruments. Jon Nakamatsu, grand prize winner of the 1997 Van Cliburn International Competition, will prove the assertion once again when he plays a solo recital on Oct. 30 at Cabrillo College’s new music hall. Nakamatsu’s program, mixing great works both familiar and unfamiliar, launches his 2010–2011 concert tour, and on this occasion benefits the Santa Cruz County Symphony, which has been struggling through the current economic downturn. (The $100 premium seating will include an invitation to a catered pre-concert reception with Nakamatsu and Symphony music director John Larry Granger.) Nakamatsu’s generosity on behalf of regional music organizations is nearly as legendary as his artistry at the piano. A man of physically small

stature and relatively small hands, he might be expected to grace the keys with intimacy and poetry. (His playing of Chopin, the epitome of such utterances, has been long and widely acclaimed.) Yet suddenly the man can make the instrument roar, as if steroids stood in for brawn. He himself attributes that ability to the wisdom of his teacher, the late Marina Derryberry. Two composers on Nakamatsu’s program who seemed never to destroy even their own second-best works are Muzio Clementi and Franz Liszt. Clementi’s Sonata in F-Sharp Minor, published in 1890, stands head and shoulders above the vast corpus of his student and method works, challenging the technical and expressive limits established by Mozart. Liszt’s three “sonetti,â€? inspired by Petrarch (the Renaissance poet acclaimed as the “father of humanismâ€?) and found in Book 2 of the composer’s AnnĂŠes de pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage), are “gems,â€? declares Nakamatsu. “They are not the showy Liszt, but rather most thoughtful, most mature in some ways, harnessing all that passionate energy with something intellectually meaningful.â€? Nakamatsu calls Schumann’s Papillons

(Butterflies) “a great piece� that dates from the composer’s early 20s and was inspired by a chapter from a Jean Paul novel. “It’s a kind of masked Venetian ball, with lots of inside jokes, actually a sketch for the well-known later work, Carnaval.� Already, Nakamatsu observes, the two sides of the composer’s bipolar personality are on display. Two great staples of 19th-century literature complete the program: Beethoven’s “Moonlight� Sonata and Chopin’s Andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante in E-flat. What consistently comes through in a Nakamatsu performance is the passion he feels for his art. To get him to talk about it is to get him excited all over again. What better endorsement can an artist give himself ?

OURTEEN YEARS of awkward glances and squirming audiences are coming to a close, and the six improv-ers behind Santa Cruz’s ScripTease are putting their several layers of underoos back on for good.

Taking them all off was never for the fainthearted, and it taxed the ample wild sides of Logistics Trade Compliance manager Daniel Hughes and accountant Mo Kremer, two of the group’s core members. “It’s like that nightmare you have when you’re a kid,� says Hughes. “You go to school and you’re in your underwear, and people are laughing at you.� And that’s if all is going according to plan. ScripTease is a series of skits formed around improv games akin to those on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, but instead of racking up meaningless points, Teasers lose clothes and dignity each time they break a rule or flounder noticeably. Helpfully, the audience howls “Strip!� with each infraction. “I did a scene once where I leapt in as a man and put on this big, waist-length jacket to denote ‘man,’ and then I couldn’t take it off because it was my costume, so I could only strip from the waist down,� says Kremer. “I was stripping and stripping, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ I think I ended with, like, one pair of G-string underwear on and my ‘man’ jacket.� “Hot,� Hughes guffaws. The closest he

came was a similar situation, a tough game and verbal land mines. “Except I didn’t have the man jacket,� he says. “From that point on, I would rather be completely naked in front of a crowd of people than in just a G-string. It’s just not flattering—and the audience is panicking. I don’t think anyone really wants to see that.� Kremer and Hughes are manifesting their own two-person improv team next, heading for greener pastures on a rapport built by eight years of turning jam sessions into orchestral movements. Check these pages for updates. Meanwhile, the phenomenon known as ScripTease exits stage left this Saturday with a vibrant, hilarious bang that will hopefully leave audiences with fond memories of their favorite Teasers’ near-humiliation. “We didn’t want to go out spluttering, getting more and more pathetic and more and more sad, because that happens sometimes,� says Kremer. “Oh my God, if we become a dangly-boobed old stripper—if ScripTease becomes that I’m going to just have to kill myself right now.�

/@BA 7< /0C<2/<13 ON THE final weekend of Santa Cruz County Open Studios I was heading to San Jose to see “Modified� at the Art Ark gallery but, overcome by a new cold I just couldn’t ignore, exited Highway 17 to return to Santa Cruz. I saw an Open Studios sign and, on an impulse, decided that if I were only going to see one more studio before I curl up under blankets, it would be one I’d never visited, in a direction I’d never been. I followed the fluorescent green signs on tight-curving roads through beautiful canyons, idyllic horse properties, redwood forests and seeping creeks feathered by horsetail meadows, up steep hills to follow a chaparral ridgeline with clusters of madrones tucked into each bend and dazzling views in all directions, and down again through gated land till sheer determination brought me to a cluster of tables amid a grove of towering redwoods. Here I met >/C: D3@<73@ in what turned out to be the most remote Open Studio. His distinctive pots appeared grown there from seed, visited by an atmospheric phenomenon and coated with gorgeous, unearthly glazes. My drive from the freeway had taken over 20 minutes, so I bet the artist and his wife that they weren’t commuters. But until recently they did commute to Silicon Valley. It made me think about how deliberate the choice has been for most of us who live here, and how it can be difficult—but with what rewards. For aesthetes and athletes there is obvious bounty. More surprising in this small dimple in the coastline devoid of any major city or significant industry except farming is the rich brew that feeds the intellect. UCSC contributes much. The free Siddartha Maitra Memorial Lecture at UCSC introduced 5C@16/@/< 2/A, author of India Unbound, many years’ worth of columns in The New York Times and the just-released The Difficulty of Being Good. He lectured to a packed Music Recital Hall on “The Dharma of Capitalism.� The endearing performance by a redoubtable storyteller doubled as humorous discourse on the new India, on governance in times of change, on the Mahabharata and on prescriptive morality vs. a morality of figuring it out. Throughout the week, the Pacific Rim Film Festival brought the world to our doorstep, as did musical performances ranging from New Music to ancient Ottoman. An exhibit at UCSC’s Sesnon Gallery provoked a fascinating panel discussion about collecting art. The Tannery Arts Lecture Series discussed “Artists in Time of War� (including artist/teacher 9/B6:33< 1@=13BB7, whose role as creator/director of the new mural on Soquel Avenue I inadvertently omitted in last week’s column). Such cultural intelligence should make us smart voters come Tuesday: so much to be careful of. Read more of The Exhibitionist at www.kusp.org.

Despite abbreviating their name in a way reminiscent of fried chicken merchant KFC, the members of Royal Trux are just as heady and heavy as they were back in the ’90s, when they were known as the enfants terribles of the alt-rock scene, peeling off heaping layers of guitar fuzz, attitude and sleaze. It’s heartening to know that even middle age can’t slow down RTX, and the members are still up to their old tricks, delivering righteous riffage amid swamp-bog psychedelia. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but definitely recommended for folks who remember that bad behavior and rock & roll go hand-in-hand. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

If Ali Farka Toure had his way, his son never would have followed in his professional footsteps. The Malian superstar found the music business a harsh place and discouraged his son from pursuing a musical career. But Vieux Farka Toure had his own plan: he secretly learned guitar and sought musical mentorship in fellow countryman and kora player Toumani Diabate. The young Toure’s talent and determination eventually convinced his father of the inevitability of a career in music, and Vieux has since proven to be a remarkable global talent in his own right, playing rock, blues, electronic and reggae-influenced tunes all deeply rooted in Malian musical tradition. Rio Theatre; $15; 8pm. (Cat Johnson)

The three-decade trip known as the Grateful Dead has been curated and catalogued and tucked into UC–Santa Cruz, and if archivers had their way Bill Kreutzmann and friends would be frozen in amber next to Jerry Garcia’s skivvies. Instead Kreutzmann has gone on to form 7 Walkers, a funk-rock collaboration jamming out new Robert Hunter originals like it was 1965. The heartbeats of Kreutzmann’s drumkit mesh with Louisiana voodoo guitarist Papa Mali’s chilled-out reggae twangs with the symmetry of artists who know that blues and rock were made for each other. Moe’s Alley; $25 adv/$30 door; 9pm. (Kate Jacobson)

6/@@G B63 67B;3< The dapper dons in Harry & the Hitmen turn out psychedelic-inflected classic soul music with the verve and style of the greats. Unapologetic throwbacks, the members of the band unearth dusty Motown grooves and inject some interstellar jam-band flights of fancy. Harry & the Hitmen bring a bit of muchneeded spectacle to Santa Cruz stages, employing their own lighting designer and engaging in heavily produced and choreographed sets. It’s a refreshing sight to see some local boys abandon the Santa Cruz tuxedo (hoodies and Converse) for something a bit more refined and classic. Crepe Place; $10; 8pm. (PMD)

A=C@5@/AA E==AB3@ Sourgrass isn’t your grandaddy’s funk band. Lead singer Jay Palmer may have been a screamo in a former life, but the band still qualifies as funk under the statute of rhythm: thou shalt give thy bassist license. Teaming up with the Santa Cruz natives of Wooster was a good choice; a certain Jason Mraz type of bubble sometimes surfaces in the vocals, and this mellower cousin to

Sourgrass’ brand of funk-rock adds the sway to the floor-stomping, promising a riotous amalgam of stage-sharing on this eve of Santa Cruz’s high holy day. Catalyst; $11 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (KJ)

1/43 ;CA7?C3 With musical backgrounds that range from classical and folk to bluegrass, rock and world music, the members of Cafe Musique bring a keen understanding of the elements that run through all music. Hailing from San Luis Obispo, CafÊ Musique weaves a sometimes lively, sometimes melancholy musical tapestry of European Gypsy music, jazz, tango, folk, swing, classical and original tunes. Bridging the old and the new, CafÊ Musique gives a nod to the musical traditions of the past and brings them into the present with a unique blend of genres and styles. Don Quixote’s; $10; 1pm. (CJ)

hop. It’s a formula that has worked for the band over the past decade, garnering it a fanatical following on the road. Brainchild of local Brazilian expatriates Papiba Godinho and Dandha da Hora, SambaDà ’s percussive stew drives a brand of polyglot funk and Brazilian soul that has become the group’s unmistakable trademark. The band’s intense and irresistibly joyous celebrations of dance and life are the perfect accompaniment to celebrating Santa Cruz’s most-loved holiday. Moe’s Alley; $17 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (PMD)

<3::73 ; 1 9/G Nellie McKay is a bit of a professional chameleon. The multifaceted singer/ songwriter/actor/comedian is as likely to play Carnegie Hall or Broadway as she is to appear on A Prairie Home Companion or the set of a film. Her music is equally hard to pin down, with her sharp social conscience and at times cutting lyrical commentary wrapped up in the sparkle and style of a songbook-era pop starlet. Touring in support of her latest album, Home Sweet Mobile Home, McKay is a rare talent brimming with wit, comedic timing, political insight, charm and a natural flair for music. Kuumbwa; $25 adv/$28 door; 7 and 9pm. (CJ) / </BC@/: B/AB3 B@3/B Sourgrass at the Catalyst with R&B crooners Wooster this Saturday

Helen Mirren

3/AG / (PG-13; 95 min.) High school girl Olive (Emma Stone) gets her reputation ruined and decides to revel in it, accessorizing her outfits with the scarlet A she just read about in Nathaniel Hawthorne in English class. An urbane and sly comedy, vastly superior to Juno; the appealing lead name-checks John Hughes films but this

Good work by Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci as Olive’s debonair parents; Scripter Bert V. Royal’s gags are almost syncopated—this isn’t relentless joke-joke-joke. The laughs come with the grace of a word to the wise, and the sense on how to emphasize sting at just the right time. (RvB)

David Strathairn gives his best weaned-on-adill-pickle mannerism as a book banner. MaryLouise Parker bungees in as a witness for the prosecution. (RvB) 7<13>B7=< (PG-13; 148 min.) The basic idea of Christopher Nolan’s film is simple. Led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a sort of Impossible Mission Force, working for a Japanese trillionaire (Ken Watanabe), descends into the sleeping subconscious of the plutocrat’s young rival (Cillian Murphy), using technology that allows them to design dreamscapes. Because of the complexity of this operation, the team s forced to create dreams within dreams, and each deeper dream takes place in an exponentially larger time frame. The film is audacious and frequently thrilling, especially when Nolan folds Paris in on itself and Escherizes interior spaces. It’s visionary filmmaking, uncommon at this scale.

(PG-13; 101 minutes) Based on the novel by Ned Vizzini, about a depressed teenager (played by Keir Gilchrist) who checks himself into a psychiatric hospital. 8/19/AA 7< ! 2 (R; 93 min.) (R; 94 min.) Undeniably visceral entertainment, and sometimes hilarious. This corner’s motto is, as always, “It’s not what you laugh at that makes you a moron, it’s what you cry at.� One of the stuntmen taunting an ornery ram with blasts from a sousaphone is carrying on the frontier humor tradition of Mark Twain’s “His Grandfather’s Old Ram.� The difference is that the ram in the Twain tale is left frozen in space, while this furious

sheep attacks about a dozen times. The tormenter’s yelp to the beast as he gets severely butted—“Why?�—is easily the most hilarious thing in the movie. Genial but horrible ringleader Johnny Knoxville is to a rodeo clown what a wealthy rock star is to a Delta blues picker: someone getting rich from a rich tradition. So, Jackass may only just seem like the end of Western civilization; some of the slapstick horrors here are true-life versions of favorites from Keystone comedies: the guy in the gorilla suit, the dog that goes straight for the seat of the pants, the irritable donkey. Some of the tortures are a little too close to the Roman Empire’s method of handling dissidents, and a couple of the bits here are serious lunch-avulsers. The 3-D helps one get most of the popular bodily fluids right in the face, if that’s your idea of fun. (RvB) :353<2 =4 B63 5C/@27/<A (PG; 97

minutes) Today’s riddle: When is a horse a bum steer? I was ready to believe that Seabiscuit ended the Depression. You have to give a good film some slack. I was alive in 1973, the year Secretariat won the Triple Crown. I don’t recall his victory healing our divisions over the Vietnam War, though director Randall Wallace coaxes us to believe it’s true. Secretariat is inbred—the offspring of too many similar sports films. It’s relentlessly thick— custard-thick—and cheap-looking, too, and its story is as fishy as 3-day-old salmon;

120 min.) Fiendishly clever and funny movie about the creation of an Internet monster. As Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Jesse Eisenberg gives a master class on recessive acting: he’s beady eyed and covert, with the occasional pit-viper-like sway of a truculent, lowered forehead. The film shuttles between the presentday deposition of the now arrogantly rich Zuckerberg, as he’s sued by a quartet of burned partners (among them his former best friend Eduardo, played by Andrew Garfield). In flashback, we see his

own history—a Jewish student at WASP-ridden Harvard, a social reject whose grudge-hacking was his entry into fame. Later, Zuckerberg meets the founder of Napster, Sean Parker—played by Justin Timberlake, excellent as a happy wastrel. Aaron Sorkin’s wild, witty script hands out punishment that goes beyond the financial penalties: this is a comedy in the Balzac sense, a balancing act; the mockery and the disgust for greed matches the essential lightness of the situation. It’s only Facebook, after all. (RvB) B63 B=E< (R; 125 min.) Routine plotting, if some rousing action sequences, in this Boston crime drama with Ben Affleck, a hunk-sized hole in the screen. It’s the old twobrothers plot, foster brothers though they be: Affleck as criminal paragon and his younger nutty-buddy Jim (Jeremy Renner of The Hurt Locker) ready to lash out and hurt someone. We keep

waiting for Jon Hamm’s unshaven FBI agent Frawley to rattle the cages. It’s Blake Lively, as an Oxycontin-fancying tramp, who gets the brunt of Hamm’s power; she does some excellent reacting to a little bar-side lecture Hamm gives about a $20 bill. Rebecca Hall has too much presence to be just the girl whose entry into the plot causes friction between the two main thieves. The much-rewritten script is choppy and undermotivated, though Chris Cooper and Pete Postlethwaite are outstanding in tiny roles. (RvB) E/7B7<5 4=@ AC>3@;/< (PG; 102

min.) The vast problems of the U.S. public school system distilled into a quick documentary. Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) follows five young students as they try to get into private schools. (One is eighth-grader Emily of Redwood City, whose parents are concerned that she’ll be pushed onto a noncollege track.)

It’s Guggenheim’s contention that school funding has doubled while test scores continue to descend. Yet this documentary has the kind of ideology even Meg Whitman can wrap herself around: you can watch it and come to the conclusion that privatization and union-busting is the answer—the same answer we’ve been given since the 1980s. This may not have been Guggenheim’s intention. But as always in this passionate-intensity style documentary, there’s the possibility of deliberate misreading, thanks to the lethal combo of stridency and slipperiness. (RvB) G=C E7:: ;33B / B/:: 2/@9 AB@/<53@ (R; 98

min.) Plushly set but terminally awkward London-set comedy drama. The title transforms a fortune teller’s prediction into a sentence of doom, as per the line in Allen’s Cassandra’s Dream: “The only ship sure to come in has black sails.� Here is Allen’s

customary theme: given the certainty of death and the absence of God, how to conduct oneself ? Better than these characters. Helena (Gemma Jones) and her husband, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins), have split, due to his terror of dying. He’s taken consolation with a £500 a night prostitute named Charmaine (the wonderful Lucy Punch). She’s seeing a psychic and drinking a bit, though Allen doesn’t understand what this boozing might entail as either comedy or drama; alcohol is not his thing. Meanwhile, the couple’s daughter (Naomi Watts) is struggling with her own career as her husband, Roy (Josh Brolin), wrestles with his unpublishable novel. Roy has his own obsession with a girl across the courtyard (Frida Pinto, almost audibly pleading for direction). Punch is the salt of this movie, a leggy comedian who makes even the minor dumb blonde jokes sail. (RvB)

0@7/< 6/@93@

And by all accounts, the unlikely 2010 growing season could make for a great vintage 0G 16@7AB7</ E/B3@A

R

YAN BEAUREGARD is keeping his eyes on two ripening situations right now. One of them involves many tons of premium wine grapes. The other one is the any-minute-now birth of his next child. “Having a baby in the middle of harvest,� he gasps. “I hope this is a one-time event!� If he’s understandably more anxious right now than most of his colleagues, he is very bullish on the vintage of 2010. “It’s a great harvest,� he admits. “The cold growing season gave us ripe fruit at lower Brix.� That’s winespeak for the possibility of making voluptuously rich wines with relatively low alcohol. Most years, Beauregard notes, he and other Santa Cruz Mountain winemakers harvest at 25 Brix (Brix being a sugar measurement). “This year, we are pulling fruit in at 22.5 to 23.5 with a pH of 3.56. The numbers are textbook perfect this year.� Others I spoke with agree that 2010 is looking very, very promising, despite the cool summer and recent temperature spikes. “It was the most unusual growing year I’ve seen,� agrees Jim Schultze, winemaker at Windy Oaks Estate at the southern end of the region, “with f lavors developing earlier than ever. We’re harvesting right now and

0@7F/0@/1 Richard Alfaro, pictured at harvest time in 2009. This year, he says, his pinot grapes are showing ‘low sugars with great physiological ripeness.’

the numbers are ideal—perfect pH.â€? (Winemakers adore science-speak.) “The aromas are some of the best I’ve encountered, and it could just turn out that this strange year will be one of the best ever. You never know with farming.â€? Richard Alfaro chimes in from the midst of his multivineyard pinot noir harvest. “The fruit is late but wonderful,â€? he says. Like many other Santa Cruz appellation winemakers, Alfaro is seeing “low sugars with great physiological ripeness.â€? Rachel Ormes, Vine Hill Winery viticulturist, explains that La NiĂąa created the cool wet spring and summer that kept the vines moist into June and July. “But pinot likes the cooler temperatures,â€? she adds. “So the yields might be lower, but the fruit is very well

developed and full of lots of nice flavors.� Bradley Brown at Big Basin Vineyards admits that he’s been “pretty much jumping up and down� over the quality of this year’s grapes. He also helped explain the consequences of the weird growing season. “The heat we’re having now is helping the vines to catch up, but the cooler weather in the summer helped the sugars stay put, even while the phenolics kept developing,� he says. (Phenolics are the elements of the grapes’ biochemistry that develop gorgeous color, ripe tannins and ultimate complexity.) “If the Brix are too high, it cooks all the complexity out,� he explains. “Because the brix are so low now, we have a potential for long ‘hang time.’� And that means long-lived wines. We’ll know in about two years. Two long, anticipation-filled years. 0

Astrology

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of October 27

Should your pet see a Board-CertiďŹ ed Internist? Diabetic management, I-131 therapy for hyperthyroidism, Endoscopy, Chemotherapy, Abdominal ultrasound, Treatment for immune-mediated diseases

Our specialists’ promise: Your pet will receive the most complete, safe, compassionate and individual care. For more information about board certiďŹ ed specialists, contact your regular veterinarian and visit our website

/@73A (March 21–April 19): In the Chinese province of Fujian, there used to be people who believed they could communicate directly with the dead. If they slept on the grave of the person they wished to reach, their dreams during the night might lead to a meeting with the spirit of the departed. I propose that you consider something similar, Aries. Why? Because according to my reading of the astrological omens, you would benefit from communing with your ancestors. If you can’t actually spend the night near their final resting place, find another way to contact them in dreams. Put their photos under your pillow, maybe, or hold one of their beloved objects as you sleep. Halloween costume suggestion: the ancestor whose influence you need most right now. B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): In an exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, performance artist Marina Abramovic stared into the eyes of a succession of different strangers for 700 hours. Actresses Marisa Tomei and Isabella Rossellini were among those who received her visual probes, as well as 1,400 less famous folks. I think it would be fun for you to do a variation on her ritual, Taurus. In your case, you wouldn’t do it to show off or to prove an artistic point, but rather to get closer to the allies with whom you’d like to develop a deeper bond. Are you up for some deep eye gazing? Halloween costume suggestion: a mystic seer; a god or goddess with a third eye; a superhero whose power is X-ray vision.

53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): Have you ever seen the edible fungi known as truffles? They are bulbous, warty clumps. Because they grow underground near trees, specially trained pigs and dogs are needed to sniff out their location. In parts of Europe their taste is so highly prized that they can sell for up to $6,000 per pound. In my opinion, the truffle should be your metaphor of the month this November. I expect that you will be in the hunt for an ugly but delectable treasure, or a homely but valuable resource, or some kind of lovable monster. Halloween costume suggestion: a Frankensteinian beauty queen or underwear model, a rhino in a prom dress, a birthday cake made of lunchmeat. 1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): Don’t try harder, Cancerian; try easier. Don’t turn your focus into a white-hot beam of piercing intensity; relax your focus into a soft-eyed enjoyment of playing around with the possibilities. Don’t tense your sphincter, marshal your warrior ferocity, and stir up your righteous anger at how life refuses to conform to your specifications; rather, send waves of tenderness through your body, open your heart to the experiment of blending your energy with life’s unpredictable flow, and marvel at the surprising revelations and invitations that are constantly flowing your way. Halloween costume suggestions: Mr. Smooth, Ms. Velvet, Dr. Groovalicious, DJ Silky.

:3= (July 23–Aug. 22): “I wanted to change the world,� said writer Aldous Huxley. “But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.� I suggest you adopt that as your operative hypothesis, Leo. Maybe in a few weeks it’ll make sense for you to shower your loved ones with advice, and maybe you’ll eventually get re-inspired to save humanity from its foolish ways. But for now your assignment is to fix, refine, and recalibrate your own beautifully imperfect self. Halloween costume suggestion: hermit, anarchist, keeper of a gorgeous diary, do-it-yourself brain surgeon. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): In last May’s national election, none of Britain’s three political parties got a majority. For a while, the country had no leader. Eventually, the right-wing Conservatives and the leftwing Liberal Democrats formed a weird coalition, making Conservative David Cameron the Prime Minister. Some people had mixed feelings about the deal. “I said it was like a cross between a bulldog and chihuahua,� London’s mayor announced, “but what I meant is it will have a fantastic hybrid vigor.� I suspect that a certain merger you have in the works, Virgo, could yield similar feelings. Halloween costume suggestion: half-bulldog, half-chihuahua; part hummingbird, part-crocodile; equal mix of Gandhi and Napoleon.

:70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Five white tigers at a Chinese wild animal park became way too tame for their own good. Maybe they’d hung around humans too long or their lifestyle was too cushy. Whatever the reason, one of their essential instincts atrophied. A

zookeeper put live chickens into their habitats, hoping they would pounce and devour, but instead they retreated as if unnerved. Tigers scared of chickens?! Since then the zoo officials have been taking measures to boost the big cats’ bravado. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I’m worried you might be headed in the tigers’ direction. Undomesticate thyself ! Halloween costume suggestion: a big fierce creature.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): You could really use your own personal doorman or doorwoman— someone who would accompany you everywhere you go and help you gain entrance through the portals you encounter. In my vision of what you require, this assistant would go further. He or she would find secret camouflaged doors for you, and do the equivalent of uttering Ali Baba’s magic words “Open Sesame!� He or she would even create doors for you, allowing you to penetrate obstacles—going into carpenter mode and fashioning a passageway for you right on the spot. If you can’t find anyone to fulfill this role for you, do it yourself. Halloween costume suggestion: a doorman or doorwoman; a gatekeeper from a fairy tale. A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Is the highest form of courage embodied in a soldier fighting during a war? Irish poet William Butler Yeats didn’t think so. He said that entering into the abyss of one’s deep self is equally daring. By my astrological reckoning, that will be the location of your greatest heroism in the days ahead. Your most illuminating and productive adventures will be the wrestling matches you have with the convulsive, beautiful darkness you find inside yourself. Halloween costume suggestion: a peaceful warrior. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): The average spammer sends out 12,414,000 emails before snagging the money of just one gullible dupe. You’re not going to have to be quite that prolific in order to get the word out about what you have to offer, but you’ll have to be pretty persistent. Fortunately, to improve your odds and raise your chances of success, all you have to do is purify your intentions. So please check in with your deep self and make sure that your gift or idea or product or service has impeccable integrity. Halloween costume suggestion: a holy salesperson; an angel hawking real estate in paradise; a TV infomercial spokesperson for free cake.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Sunlight may smell spicy or musky to you these days. The wind might have a flavor like chocolate liqueur or a ripe peach. The hum of the earth as it turns may sound like a symphony you heard once in a dream. Your body? Electric. Your soul? Sinewy. In other words, Aquarius magic is afoot. The hills are alive with future memories that taste delicious. Your feet will touch sacred ground far more than usual. Halloween costume suggestion: a character from a film that changed your life for the better.

>7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): In the middle of the last century, avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger threw a masquerade party called “Come as Your Madness.â€? One of the invited guests was the Piscean writer Anais Nin. She appeared as the ancient fertility goddess Astarte, but with an unexpected wrinkle: She wore a birdcage over her head. This Halloween I urge you to be inspired by Nin’s decision to portray her madness as a goddess, but reject Nin’s decision to cage the head of her mad goddess. Find a disguise that allows you to embody the best and most beautiful part of your craziness, and let it roam free. 6][Se]`Y( ;SRWbObS ]\ RSObV \]b Oa bVS S\R ]T ^VgaWQOZ ZWTS Pcb Oa O [SbO^V]` T]` aVSRRW\U eVOb¸a ]cbe]`\ 7\ bVOb ZWUVb eVOb¸a bVS PSab RSObV g]c¸dS SdS` Sf^S`WS\QSR- 4`SSeWZZOab`]Z]Ug Q][
