Currents. <= ;=@3 4C<<G 0CA7<3AA Voters want lawmakers to stop monkeying around. (Photo from June 2010 primary.)

Decoding the Election Voters sent a scrambled message to Sacramento last week. Or did they?

0G 83AA71/ :G=<A

W

HILE the GOP won the House and key state posts in the rest of the union last Tuesday, California saw its own Tea Party takeover of sortsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; albeit one with a Left Coast bent.

Democrats swept the statewide offices, with Jerry Brown handily defeating Republican Meg Whitman, and Gavin Newsom, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;liberal San Francisco Democratâ&#x20AC;? (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satanâ&#x20AC;? to Central Valleyites), winning a tight race against sitting Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a moderate Republican who made a name for himself by

voting against his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;twiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to break the budget impasse.

Voters also supported Proposition 25, which will allow legislators to pass a budget with a simple majority. The new law goes a considerable way toward weakening the Republican minorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grip on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget process.

It could almost be read as a vote of confidence in the Democrats.

Butâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and here comes Tea timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; voters also said no to new taxes and took away some key tools that lawmakers have traditionally used to balance the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending plan. They

said no to repealing corporate tax breaks (Proposition 24) and imposed a supermajority vote to pass new fees and taxes (Proposition 26).

They also banned the state from borrowing money from local governments to fix budget gaps (Proposition 22), and they defeated Proposition 21, the $18 vehicle fee to pay for state parks.

Additionally, voters f lashed their environmental bona fides by shooting down Proposition 23, the attempt to suspend Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmark anti-global warming legislation, and showed the limits of their famed tolerance by voting against Proposition 19, which would have legalized pot.

Former Santa Cruz Assemblyman John Laird says voters sent mixed messages to Sacramento, some of which are positive and some simply confusingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or, perhaps, confused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt very good about the overwhelming defeat of Prop. 23 and the strong passage of Prop. 25,â&#x20AC;?

Laird says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voters said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Even in the worst economic times we stand by our environmental concerns,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they finally felt that gridlock is unacceptable and it was time to include California with the other 47 states that have majority rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they sent a slightly contradictory message because they passed 26 and defeated 24, which said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take away some of the tools for some of the ways you can do this [pass a budget].â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Is it a sign of schizophrenia? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nope,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz County Tax Collector Fred Keeley, also a former state assemblyman.

The Nov. 2 vote wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much about taxing less as it was about legislating more, Keeley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I agree, but I think there was a coherence to what voters did,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We want tight fiscal controls: yes on twothirds vote for fees, no on [the vehicle license fee] increase.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They also said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We want the Legislature and governor to do their jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;majority vote budget, move ahead with greenhouse gas reductions, no to legalizing pot.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Overall, I think there is a rational reasoning in the proposition outcomes.

Virtually none of them were close.

Voters seem to want to not see much more spending, a clean environment, and for the electeds to do their jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Parks and Wreck How serious are voters about no new taxes? Consider the outcome of Proposition 21, which had its origins as a solution proposed by Laird in 2008 to fix chronic shortages in parks funding. In 2009, when Gov. Schwarzenegger proposed closing 80 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks to save money, an outcry went up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look what happened when the governor tried to close parksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; voters came unhinged,â&#x20AC;? Keeley says.

Schwarzenegger made most of the cuts elsewhere.

And yet voters rejected Prop. 21, which would have provided funding for state parks by tacking an additional $18 onto vehicle registration fees paid

by California motorists.

Pundits and analysts see a couple of explanations for this vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to pay for parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what they said,â&#x20AC;? Keeley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is not the time to ask us to start micromanaging the budget.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz professor of politics Daniel Wirls says the vote follows the national trend: rejection of anything seen as a tax increase. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also in line with another love of Californians: their cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You attach anything to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars and they get very testy about itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as much as people love furry little animals, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay a tax on it,â&#x20AC;? Wirls says.

Park closures may happen in 2011, parks officials said late last week, also telling reporters that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a look at higher entrance fees and other funding options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the next step is for state parks,â&#x20AC;? says Laird. The vehicle fee for parks polled statewide at 73 percent in 2008, but could not be enacted because of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twothirds budget requirement, which is why it was put on the November 3'

Laird says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going back and pulling out those alternatives to see if one will work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really disappointed, although it carried by two to one in Santa Cruz County.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As much as people love furry little animals, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay a tax on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D;UCSC PROFESSOR DANIEL WIRLS Statewide, voters rejected Prop. 21 by 58 percent to 42 percent, but local voters went against the tide, supporting it 67-33. Similarly, Californians as a whole signaled their preference for the two-thirds vote requirement for taxes and fees (Prop. 26) by voting 53-47, but Santa Cruzans defeated it 63-37.

Santa Cruzans were less enthusiastic than other Californians about repealing $2 billion in corporate tax breaks (local support for Prop. 24 was 54 percent, compared to statewide support at 59 percent). They were also more moderate about prohibiting state lawmakers from taking local funds to balance the budget (Prop. 22 garnered 56 percent locally and 61 percent statewide). â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in Santa Cruz County have a different feeling about trying to solve problems,â&#x20AC;? Laird says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They stepped up.â&#x20AC;?

This may also explain why, in the midst of a national rejection of new taxes, Santa Cruz said yes to Measure H, which will increase the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utility users tax by 1.5 percent to help fund police and public safety.

For Laird, Santa Cruz Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior at the ballot box is an encouraging sign in a day that brought lots of troubling news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody says the red tidal wave stopped at the Sierras,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m beginning to wonder if it stopped at the coastal range.â&#x20AC;? 0

The psychedelic poster art of Stacie Willoughby

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Y

OU NEED TO GO to shows where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the band,â&#x20AC;? Stacie Willoughby says over tea on a rainy Santa Cruz day. As I think about the meaning of her words, she sits back, takes a sip of her peach tea and adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for you.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the advice of a woman who understands the importance of creativity, a woman who, through her poster art, has almost single-handedly created the visual identity for a thriving live-music community. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in or around the Bay Area psych/rock/ neofolk/noise music scene anytime in the last decade, you have almost certainly encountered Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. In a time of minimal, computer-generated fliers, her posters stand apart as hand-drawn, wildly detailed and imaginative treasures.

0G 1/B 8=6<A=<

While Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is often compared to that of psychedelic poster artists of the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, such as Stanley Mouse and Victor Moscoso, it contains aspects of many different visual and cultural movements including the anything-can-happen world of surrealism, the curves and perspectives of Art Nouveau, the storytelling and other-worldliness of mythology, the spirit-imbued nature of animism and the inner-becomes-outer world of mysticism.

Her images are perhaps best described as a subconscious reflection of everything that Willoughby has experienced: life, death, memory, love, suffering, creation and joy, all swirling around the same space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People automatically compare my stuff to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if you look at it, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no language for poster art.â&#x20AC;?

qpqvmbuf!XjmmpvhiczĂ&#x2013;t!gboubtujdbm!bsujtujd!vojwfstf/ Willoughby has produced a steady stream of posters for shows ranging from small, last-minute house shows to huge, multiday festivals in the forest and everything in-between. The scope of her portfolio is mind-boggling; page after page of posters, announcing performances by some of the most interesting and cred-heavy artists around, including Will Oldham, Fleet Foxes, Stephen Malkmus, Bert Jansch, Sleepy Sun, Mudhoney, Black Francis and Animal Collective; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just scratching the surface. Willoughby is, quite literally, identifying, furthering and documenting an era of music.

And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it all by hand from her bedroom, one show at a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sit in my chair with a board on my lap and just have at it,â&#x20AC;? she says of her technique.

She used to pencil, ink and then color her posters, but rarely does so anymore, and when asked how much in advance she plans out her drawings, she responds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not at all.â&#x20AC;? Willoughby is in the enviable position of being able to let her creativity and vision guide the image. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really lucky,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generally get assigned images. I usually just start.â&#x20AC;? In fact, having a pre-conceived notion of what an image needs to be takes her out of her comfort zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I have something that I know it has to end up as, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrifying,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to end up as.â&#x20AC;?

When Willoughby, 27, started designing fliers and posters for shows in 2003, it was because there was an obvious need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first posters were for house shows in Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any way to get the word out.

The Internet wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that important yet, and people would just scrawl the name of bands on paper.â&#x20AC;? But Willoughby saw that posters could be great vehicles for spreading the word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to draw,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I was interested in conveying the information in the most eye-catching

way possible.â&#x20AC;? So she started making posters for local bands like Residual Echoes, Loyal Sons and Daughters, Frog Eyes and Comets on Fire, and the more she made, the more in-demand her talents became. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People wanted me to do it and I wanted to do it and I got to be a part of something that was fun,â&#x20AC;? she says. She adds, reminiscing about the DIY freedom of the house shows, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was all about making a situation that you could exhibit your art without other people OK-ing it.â&#x20AC;?

Drawing Boom Meanwhile, down in Big Sur, a music lover named Britt Govea had started putting on shows under the name (((folkYEAH!))) and needed a poster artist. When Willoughby, who had developed a reputation for creating engaging and eerily beautiful drawings, met Govea in 2006, a new chapter in her poster-making story began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just lucked out,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a situation of being in the right place at the right time.â&#x20AC;? Govea was quietly promoting shows and creating a community around indie, freak-folk and psychedelic rock music, and he started calling on Willoughby to provide the posters for his events.

Govea is quick to send praise Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her work is always fresh,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has wonderful elements of the macabre and both the usual and unusual . . . and [has] given the (((folkYEAH!))) series a unique and progressive visual distinction.â&#x20AC;?

He explains that every poster she has ever done for him is like a birthday or Christmas present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I open an email attachment from her and this bold, wondrous glimpse into her ultravivid world is revealed to me,â&#x20AC;? he says. Then he adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed I am to have her work attached to these shows.â&#x20AC;? ¨ %

STACIE WILLOUGHBY: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about combining the two that takes everything a step up.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true whether there are visuals happening at the same time as the music, or whether there are visuals lauding the music beforehand, or whether thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music happening while the art is being made . . . they just work well together.

I like having the event be the de facto meaning of the poster. It really takes the pressure and the seriousness off of what the art means. And if people are looking at the art and they understand inherently that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an advertisement for an awesome event, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the thing on their mind, and any other meaning they pick up from it will be sorta sneakier and secondary.

And yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know, I like shows, I like live music, and live music goes off best when everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know, ready for it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just really into making things exciting . . . I want my posters to be the best possible kind of foreplay.

I like posters because you can do

them anywhere, you can take them with you outside, you just need a hard surface on your lap. I hang out in my room and do them and listen to records. I have a drawing table but I only use it about half the time, maybe, and I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had it that long. I have this board I put in my lap, I just sorta work that way. I like playing with materials, but I guess pencils and pens are my favorite. Markers are cool too, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing with a lot of mixed media lately. Anything that can mark the surface and is even remotely controllable.

I get an idea, and then it needs something, and then I put it there, and I keep doing that till itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished BVS QVO`OQbS`a bVOb aV]e c^ W\ g]c` e]`Y bS\R b] PS ]\S ]T O YW\R ]bVS` e]`ZRZg bg^Sa EVS`S R] bVSg Q][S T`][- 2] g]c ^ZO\ bVS[ ]cb W\ ORdO\QS ]` R] bVSg [O\WTSab a^]\bO\S]caZg Oa bVSg¸`S PSW\U Q`SObSR-

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about it. I make something that looks right as I go along. I get an idea, and then it needs something, and then I put it there, and I keep doing that till itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychological.

People always see the posters and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a girl with a spiderweb on her!â&#x20AC;? And it seems silly because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be aware of what the poster is of, right? But actually I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see half the stuff other people see in there, ¨ &

What began as a trickle of shows turned into a stream, and as (((folkYEAH!))) grew, so did the connection between Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art and great shows. A Willoughby poster can be spotted across the room and will most certainly catch the eye of any music lover in the know, as Govea has presented an incomparable parade of amazing, somewhat under-the-radar artists and created a community around the music that he loves. As Willoughby says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Britt wanted to create an environment that he wanted to be in.â&#x20AC;?

Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posters provided the invitation to join this emerging scene and the spirit of creativity and independence that it represented, and as (((folkYEAH!))) was gaining momentum and attention, so too were Willoughby and her posters.

Over the years, she has provided most of the visual element of (((folkYEAH!))).

The more recognizable Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art became, the more jobs she was offered, and what started with fliers for local shows has gone worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mostly work in the San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;toâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Los Angeles region,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done art for English bands, Ukrainian bands, French bands, Japanese bands, Australian fashion designersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely reaching across an ocean and connecting to other people.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also officially made it off the street and onto the gallery wall. This month Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work shows at the Candystore Collective in San Francisco in an exhibit that runs through Dec. 2; that day a second show titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Archaic

Revival,â&#x20AC;? with Willoughby and rock poster artists Alan Forbes and David Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andrea, opens at the Space Gallery on Polk Street, also in San Francisco. And on Feb. 4 here in Santa Cruz, Idle Hands on Pacific Avenue mounts a Willoughby show thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet to be titled.

As for the wave of handmade posters that have emerged in the wake of Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always stoked when someone is making an artistic rock poster,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things used to be made by hand; you could feel that a person made [a] sign and I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that from all the signs and advertisements that I see.â&#x20AC;?

Willoughby, whose art has promoted and celebrated bands from around the world and helped weave a community of music lovers together, sees posters as an essential element of live music.

And at this point, her own posters lend a great deal of credibility to artists and act as beacons for shows that are worth checking out, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Posters generate excitement and give visuals to a sound,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is always exponential in its return.â&#x20AC;?

NOTES FROM BELOWâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;THE POSTERS OF STACIE WILLOUGHBY shows through Thursday, Dec. 2, at the Candystore Collective, 3153 16th St., San Francisco; 415.887.7637.

Her work is also on Facebook.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. You either care or you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a big deal. If a poster strikes me, I always try to find out who did it. Posters are advertisements, so peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds go to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the poster instead of who made it, first. And then if the art is really striking, they might want to know who made the poster, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment to the artist. But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool that people know of the posters and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily know who I am or my name or my face. It helps me to see more realistic reactions to them, unlike when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at an art show and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda pussyfooting around, feeling like they have to have an opinion even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel anything.

Posters are like guerrillas, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out all over the street and half the time you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being infiltrated. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true of shitty ads too, unfortunately. But I just like making the thing, I like altering the landscape a little tiny bit in my own way. I mean, everything I have to say is in there. But I believe in communication, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I answer these questions sometimes, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no need: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in the posters.

Bananas Jubilee The Banana Slug String Band celebrates 25 years of nerdtastic, eco-minded kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music 0G 9/B3 8/1=0A=<

G

UITARIST â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airyâ&#x20AC;? Larry Graff estimates the Banana Slug String Band has played to more than a million pairs of ears across the United States and the Caribbean. The ears hover at three feet and have an 8pm bedtime, but for nigh on 25 years the unbridled enthusiasm of children has been radiating out of the cafeterias and auditoriums that serve as Banana Slug String Band venues like a heat wave.

The group formed in 1985 when outdoor education instructors â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solarâ&#x20AC;?

Steve Van Zandt, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airyâ&#x20AC;? Larry Graff, Doug â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dirtâ&#x20AC;? Greenfield and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marineâ&#x20AC;?

Mark Nolan decided to take their act on the road, wrapping their fare of environmental awareness in catchy lyrics and unique arrangements. The result is a band that can make storm drains interesting.

Themes of heartbreak and sorrow pale in comparison to Solar Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics (it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much more eternal than the water cycle). And while their lyrics may be for kids, the music is definitely written by rockers-turnedparents tired of looping â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itsy Bitsy Spiderâ&#x20AC;? in the minivan; the title track on the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 release Only One Ocean sounds like it belongs on a Guns nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids, if you give them something authenticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not dumbing them down, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re offering them some real music with real participation about a real topic that they really care aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will know it,â&#x20AC;? says Greenfield, who could be the cleanshaven twin of Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dudeâ&#x20AC;? Bridges in The Big Lebowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In, like, a second they know it, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with you. And kids with

>33: B63 03/B The Banana Slug String Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release is a collection of marine-conservation-themed songs set to rock & roll, reggae and island rhythms.

you? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we can do this for 25 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their energy is so rejuvenative.â&#x20AC;?

Opening guitar riffs aside, the minivan still lurks in the background. Touring with a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band is an ordeal bereft of the standard rock band mayhem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call it the milk and cookies circuit,â&#x20AC;? says Greenfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our shows are like 9am,â&#x20AC;? adds Graff, revealing that more than musical tastes change with kids on the scene. Laughs Greenfield, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our showtimes are for the early nappers or the late nappers. You can choose your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nap.â&#x20AC;?

The latest in a string of 11 albums, Only One Ocean was commissioned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and two other ocean education nonprofits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Standing On My Headâ&#x20AC;? sings the praises of barnacles (â&#x20AC;&#x153;My cirri bring my food to mouth/ like little feathered handsâ&#x20AC;?) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ocean Flowâ&#x20AC;? regales with verses like â&#x20AC;&#x153;The midAtlantic ridge is the longest mountain range/ itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all volcanic so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constantly in change.â&#x20AC;? Better than a textbook and twice as memorable.

Keeping Graff and Greenfield musically limber is recent membership in Slugs Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses, the Grateful Dead cover band appropriating their nights for an audience with an attention span longer than five minutes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed is that Deadheads are like big children,â&#x20AC;? Greenfield says, leaning back with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both want to be inspired by the music to go to places that are enjoyable, to dance, to participate and to revel in a loving space.â&#x20AC;?

The new album is filled with reggae, aloha jams, rock and some mad slackkey guitar riffs. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passing the classics of Harry Belafonte and Soul Train down the line, and the wave of fervor refreshes itself with every cohort of new toddlers coming of age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in a deep, passionate way,â&#x20AC;? Graff says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love singing about the earth and the magic of it, inspiring people to take care of it, we love children and inspiring them, we love parents and educators, and we love each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovefest.â&#x20AC;?

;7<=@7BG @3>=@B SILENCE is not what Michele Norris is known for. Quite the opposite, in factâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;listeners of NPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Things Considered will recognize the smooth timbre of the hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice before she even finishes her introductory â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Michele Norris.â&#x20AC;? Silence, though, is the topic the famous voice will address when she appears at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Sunday to read from and sign copies of her newest book, The Grace of Silence.

Norris began writing the book as an exploration of the ways the national conversation about race began to change preceding the election of President Obama. She says she wanted to put an ear to the discussion in a less conventional way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I would do that by trying to listen to private conversation,â&#x20AC;? Norris said, speaking about the book on NPR, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but as I began to listen to these hidden conversations, I also began to listen to hidden conversations in my own family.â&#x20AC;?

A social history of race became a memoir when Norris discovered secrets that had been kept from her growing upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; things like the fact that her grandmother once made a living giving pancake demonstrations to Midwestern housewives dressed as Aunt Jemima, or the fact that her father was shot by a white police officer in Birmingham shortly after returning home from World War II. Her own personal revelations form the basis of Norrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inquiry into the ways that we talkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the ways we do not talkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about race in America. (Tessa Stuart)

MICHELE NORRIS reads from her book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Grace of Silenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Sunday, Nov. 14, at 7pm at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free. 831.423.0900.

6C;/<A /<2 </BC@3 THE EXPRESSIONS are inscrutable. Wide-set eyes cast down or to the side; lids lowered like shades against intrusion; lips relaxed, sometimes slightly open: the ashen clay figures of 16/@:3<3 2=7@=< @37<6/@B look inward and take the viewer with them. Like the white-painted characters in Butoh theater, their expressions are communicated by the whole highly stylized form and given power by eloquent naturalistic details.

In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fragile Strength,â&#x20AC;? a two-person exhibit that opened Nov. 4 at 1/0@7::= 5/::3@G, Reinhart and glass artist 1/AA/<2@/ AB@/C07<5 each address disturbing contemporary issues using quiet voices, delicate media and technical mastery.

In her artist statement, Reinhart refers to her mixed heritage (her mother is Japanese, her father Cajun) as the source of her inspiration. Whatever the source, her work has a spare, refined aesthetic and a cheeky earthiness. At the gallery entrance, Arbor Tritus beckons. From chest to crown a haunting 2-foot bust of a woman stretches up through a trunklike elongated neck that holds a long oval face topped by a wild craggy nest of branches.

From out of the pursed mouth another branch emerges. In front of her chest, a scarily naturalistic hand with a string wrapped around one finger is positioned, palm toward face. Meanwhile, a bird leans out of the nest of twigs at the crown.

The overall form is exaggerated, but the detailsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the wood, the bird, the heavy-lidded eyes within dark bruise-colored sockets, a suggestion of corporeal essence in the folds and creases of skin under a thick shiny layer of white on topâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;look like thick theatrical greasepaint. The overlayer is called terra sigillata, a thin mixture of porcelain clay painted over the unfired coarser clay below to provide a shiny but not entirely opaque surface. In this case, the unearthly white â&#x20AC;&#x153;skinâ&#x20AC;? is made even more intriguing by revealing the warmer clay belowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where the gestural strokes of the sculptor are still in evidence. The whole represents the Greek myth of Daphne, who spurned the love of Apollo and all men and turned into a laurel tree. This view of nature and humans co-being is a theme repeated in many of Reinhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17 pieces in the show.

Cruel Cut is a wall-mounted sculpture, a stylized, androgynous and elongated head, mouth open as if to breathe, the gleaming sigillata surface of the face framed by the pink skin of delicate ears. The top of the head sprouts tree rootsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a clear-cut forest.

Cassandra Straubingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glass pieces have a similar dichotomy, representing utilitarian buckets, needles and other implements out of luminous, thick-walled cast glass sandblasted to a dazzling finish. The luscious exhibition runs through Dec. 10. Read more of The Exhibitionist at www.kusp.org.

With a stylistic comfort zone nestled snugly between George Gershwin, Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones, Norwegian singer/songwriter and composer Caroline Waters is one of those rare artists who have the ability to transform pain and heartache into strength and a love of life that resonates throughout their music.

Graced with a clear and tender voice, the multi-instrumentalist is part sultry jazz club diva, part international minstrel and part idealistic folkster.

Her latest release is a tribute to some of the artists who have influenced her, including Leonard Cohen, Suzanne Vega, Jennifer Warnes and more. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $10; 7:30pm. (Cat Johnson)

A must-see double bill for fans of eclectic twang, Emmitt-Nershi Band and Hot Buttered Rum both serve up 90-minute sets at this Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley appearance. The Emmitt-Nershi Band boasts members of Leftover Salmon and the String Cheese Incident and specializes in newgrass testimonials and intricate fingerpicking. Hot Buttered Rumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bluegrass throwdowns are as festive as the syrupy concoction from which the band takes its name. With equal measures of crowd-pleasing verve and virtuosity, Hot Buttered Rumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amalgam of bluegrass, blues, rock, jazz and oldtime folk satisfies both the music wonks and partiers pulling off a jug of firewater.

One of the most compellingly idiosyncratic singer/songwriters working today, Erin McKeown is equally comfortable integrating folk, jazz, swing and even electronic flourishes into her ruminations.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long been a local favorite, and on her latest album Hundreds of Lions, McKeown pays tribute to our hometown with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;between the tide and the cigarettes/ all the cups we cannot sip/ between our legs across our lipsâ&#x20AC;? in an obliquely accurate portrayal of the place we call home. Hundreds of Lions is an assured work all around, demonstrating an iconoclastic writer working at the heights of her powers. Crepe Place; $10 adv/$12 door; 9pm. (PMD)

H7=< 7 Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zion I have been holding it down for underground hip-hop heads for over a decade now, and they show no sign of flagging. Amplive and MC Zumbi climbed to the top of the pile during the height of the backpacker era, back when it seemed like every Bay Area resident with a Korg was starting an underground hip-hop group.

The duoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blend of naturalistic beats and limber wordplay set them apart from the pack, and their use of live instrumentation was a welcome contrast to the minimalism of their peers. In the years since, Zion I have merged the underground and the mainstream, a feat they handle without breaking a sweat.

4C<9 43AB If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice the funk invading Santa Cruz, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been piggy-backing on rock and lurking in the pockets of jazz like lint. Minus the bellbottoms, the funk revival is setting up shop at the first annual Funk Fest 2010, featuring Extra Large, Joint Chiefs and Funkranomicon, a trio that hold about six genres between them. Exotic percussion is Extra Largeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the groove, and the Joint Chiefs are winning hearts with a mix of acid-jazz and R&B, leaving Funkranomicon frontman Joe Neto to promise classic covers by the likes of James Brown and Parliament. If â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danceâ&#x20AC;? was a genre the funkfest would own it, and this go-round is leaving out nothing but the disco. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $10; 8pm.

pegged as an imitator, but a dozen records and six Grammy nominations show that even though threefourths of her songs are covers, first impressions canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you everything.

On Freelonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch, songs so familiar as to be overplayed are arranged into something sparkling.

Prior to teaming up with his brothers to form the world-renowned Neville Brothers, the saxophonist spent years on the road playing with a mindboggling list of legends, including Ray Charles, B.B. King, Big Maybelle, James Brown and Little Walter.

Motion Sickness Panic, CGI, Denzel Washington and more panic in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unstoppableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

O

NLY DIRECTOR Tony Scott would het up a runaway-train movie, a subject het up enough on its own.

In Unstoppable, an old dog (Denzel Washington) and a young pup (Chris Pine) race a single engine to catch up with an unmanned train heading for catastrophe.

The dialogue by Mark Bomback is like action-movie catechism. Q: How much is the train worth? A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;$100 million!â&#x20AC;?

Q: How much does it weigh? A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten million pounds!â&#x20AC;? Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the nature of its cargo? A: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Molten phenol! Very toxic, highly combustible!â&#x20AC;? Q: To what can it be likened? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A missile the size of the Chrysler building!â&#x20AC;?

At 70 miles an hour, the train heads to a precarious S-curve over some gas tanks. News helicopters buzz around the runaway train, providing an action-movie Greek chorus. Computer animation shows us what will happen when the trains meetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;done in the now-beloved Taiwanese-newscast style.

Scott crowds the location changes with captions, including my new alltime favorite: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zinc Plant, Southern Pennsylvania.â&#x20AC;? Pennsylvania in the full Amazonian green-hell of summer would be a perfect background for a hellbound train, but this is forlorn, waning fall: the digital dyeing, as always in cyan and orange, makes Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s features disappear in the duotone murk. Are they bringing back the days of two-strip Technicolor? The whites are completely shot because of this technique; in twoshots, the trains speed past a cemetery full of baby-blue tombstones.

<3@D3 E@3197<5 Chris Pine, left, and Denzel Washington try to avert the train wreck that is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unstoppable.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Computer animation allows the bad train to do things real trains canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ordinarily do: dance sideways on the rails like the circus train in Dumbo, for instance. This method impedes the free enjoyment of the heavy-machinery porn, something Scott usually does very well.

Instead of lingering over the big, heavy greasy surfaces to get the men in the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irises dilated, Scott uses camerawork that seems pulled from World War II combat footage. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a promiscuous refocusser.

As the boss lady in the control tower, Rosario Dawson arrives bearing a stack of donut boxesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the delectable carrying the delicious. She utters some line like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I brought a box of donuts for the kids.â&#x20AC;?

The lens shifts to emphasize this instant.

Crisis!: Will there be enough donuts for everyone? In the rooms where the experts look at the maps and telephone each other, Scott repeats one shot a hundred times, panning the camera as it is dollied, to induce appropriate thematic motion sickness.

Every Scott film is heavy on the exclamation points, but this one is as

worn out as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail infrastructure.

As per Andrey Konchalovskiyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Runaway Train (1985), such a speeding monster ought to have a philosophical purpose, something more interesting, that is, than bringing together two diametrically opposed railway workers together and making them learn to appreciate their families. Hell, you could do that on a scenic pufferbelly ride. Q: How does Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character manifest his negligent parenting? A: First, by forgetting one daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. Second, by letting both daughters waitress at Hooters. (Scott had to get the skin in there somehow.)

Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this trainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a glowering locomotive bearing the numbers â&#x20AC;&#x153;777â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a symbol of something? Ecocatastrophe? Corporate malfeasanceby a thinly veiled version of freight-hauling company CSX? There was more of that kind of allusion to the demolishing of Amercaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s railways in Jonathan Franzenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Corrections. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plot point about layoffs, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to think of the head executive in the film (Kevin Dunn) as an idiot who only cares about profit, although he does engineer a pretty

entertaining rescue, yo-yoing a former Marine (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just back from Afghanistan!â&#x20AC;?) from a helicopter onto the deck.

The moment compares favorably with the finale, as seen in the previews: a hero â&#x20AC;&#x153;actually running on top of the train cars!â&#x20AC;? exclaims a newscaster, as if this hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a feat performed sometime before in the history of cinema.

The audience gets calmer as the editing gets more furious, and Unstoppable never goes over the top, where it belongs. Like Scott, Washington is there to repeat things.

Grumpy Old Men Once again, the authorities conspire against genius hacker Lisbeth Salander 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE GLOWING harbor views and countryscapes of The Girl Who Played With Fire are replaced in its sequel with a televisionistic series of close-ups of baleful Swedes frowning at each other over tables or sitting fidgeting at press conferences.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest is of course Death BjĂśrk 2000, better known as punkette guerrilla Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace). As she slowly, slowly heals from the multiple gunshot wounds she acquired at the end of the last movie, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the object of lively interest by the police.

They plan to charge her for the attempted murder of her father. He survived her hatchet attack in the last film; putty-faced from bad burn makeup, he delivers the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moment of peak defiance: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fools! Idiots! I will destroy you!â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, the survivors of the government cabal who secretly imported Salanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evil Soviet father into Sweden plan to silence the troublesome girl. They are mostly old and in a bad temper.

Our hero Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) of Millennium magazine wants to elict Lisbethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the story. But his coeditor Erika (Lena Endre) is menaced by anonymous emails and a brick through the window, Disappointingly, this makes Erika less inclined to take on an editorial crusade instead of stiffening her willpower.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, in the previous movies she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look underequipped with willpower.

Secondly, they were only two emails.

We should also note that Lisbethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halfGerman stepbrother (Georgi Staykov) is firmly in the still-lurking-about category.

And he is still completely impervious to pain, just like Robert Carlyle in the 007

B63 03AB 2343<A3 Annika Giannini (Annika Hallin, left) works the system while Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) mounts a good offense in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Girl Who Kicked the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

film The World Is Not Enough.

Lisbeth is also menaced by yet another smirking civil servant: her former shrink Dr. Peter Teleborian (Anders Ahlbom), who wants to get her back into his asylum.

A movie with a villain shouting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fools!

Idiots! I will destroy you!â&#x20AC;? has already made some kind of a break with realism.

The break is not mended by a summing up of Salanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal history: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a classic Greek tragedy!â&#x20AC;? Yes, very much like Sophocles with a borrowed James Bond villain crashing aroundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a peroxide blonde like Robert Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Grant, yet.

So one wonders why the film pedantically insists on the realistic aftereffects of some gunshot wounds. Bad as these wounds would be in real life, they are perhaps a little overdone for the purposes of a thriller.

Too much of the movie is spent watching Salander in physical therapy, slowly starting to regain her zest for living under the supervision of a handsome kindly physician. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not until the end of the movie that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to her old self, a walking tackle box worth of piercings, dressed like Cher during her brief Mohican era and wearing the ornery, put-upon expression that has brought worldwide fame. Just as deserving of a put-upon expression, though he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one:

Niklas Falk as the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man in charge of the investigation. He looks so full of serious convictionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a falcon version of that eagle, Max von Sydowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that one wants to see him take the movie over and shove the conspirators back in the old folkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home where they belonged.

Despite how wide-awake Falk looks, the investigations in the movie arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t masterpieces of deduction. There are obvious traps sprung, villains attacking at precisely the kind of place to get them arrested in public (clearly to make it look like somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in between the scenes of Scandinavians shuffling papers).

The enervation of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest is really indescribable. It ends the trilogy not with a bang but with a thud. It makes a long 2-1/2-hour journey from hospital bed to very unmoving last goodbye; the two leads (punkette avenger and dog-faced journalist) practically turn to the camera and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done here.â&#x20AC;?

(R; 120 min.) Tyler Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adaptation of the 1975 stage play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

Each member of the ensemble (including Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton, Whoopie Goldberg and Kerry Washington) grapples with a different heavy issue like unplanned pregnancy, infidelity or abuse.

63@3/4B3@ (PG-13; 129 min.) The opening of this dull, morose and oatmeal-colored drama is a flawlessly animated tsunami. Swept into the tide and clonked by an automobile, Parisian journalist Marie LeLay (CĂŠcile De France) is rescued just as she has a vision of human beings standing around a glowing plaza. She has seen the Hereafter itself; so has San Francisco psychic Matt Damon.

Meanwhile a pair of twins in London, separated by death, try to reconnect. Bland and slow, the film seems as if it will never get started, and the afterworld is neither sinister nor inspirational. (RvB) 7<A723 8=0 (PG-13; 120

anger at being asked impertinent questions about ethics by a lowly submillionaire with a camera. Inside Job records a nonpartisan disgrace. One of the prime disappointments of the Obama administration is the way he found work for the familiar rogues from the Meltdown of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08. Ferguson asks great questions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a lot of great answers about how a glorified Ponzi scheme left most of America either overworked or unemployed, heavily in debt and a few millimeters away from homelessness.

93 min.) Undeniably visceral entertainment, and sometimes hilarious.

This cornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is, as always, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what you laugh at that makes you a moron, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you cry at.â&#x20AC;? One of the stuntmen taunting an ornery ram with blasts from a sousaphone is carrying on the frontier humor tradition of Mark Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;His Grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Ram.â&#x20AC;?

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 tormenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yelp to the beast as he gets severely buttedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;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 truelife 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 Empireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s method of handling dissidents, and a couple of the bits here are serious lunchavulsers. The 3-D helps one get most of the popular bodily fluids right in the face, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your idea of fun. (RvB)

When the former dies, Mimi becomes severe and cold. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estranged mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), reappears. The young mother, a flirt and a primper, introduces John to Elvis and other rock & rollers and gives him his first lesson on a banjo. Headmasters try to cane the wickedness out of Lennon, but he becomes a truant anyway, boosting 45 rpm records from the stores.

Meanwhile Lennon starts a skiffle band and meets the small, fragile and not-quite-weanedlooking Paul McCartney (Thomas Sangster) for the beginning of a conflict-laden friendship.

Nowhere Boy is more like a version of Hamlet in which the young prince has a stern aunt instead of an uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torn apart. The film has neither the music of Liverpool speech nor the Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music itself.

Inevitably, Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s therapy session in musical form, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother,â&#x20AC;? is the wrap-up. The movie agrees with him, shaking a finger at pretty, disorderly Julia. (RvB)

Secretariat is inbredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the offspring of too many similar sports films. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentlessly thickâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;custard-thickâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and cheap-looking, too, and its story is as fishy as 3-day-old salmon; it tries to make an underhorse out of a very blueblooded steed.

Diane Lane, ordinarily a fine actress, gets no help from the script which seems to be trying to make her an anti-heroine. Lane plays thoroughbred breeder Penny Chenery.

Ultimately, Secretariat is more fundraising pitch than racetrack action.

As Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Jesse Eisenberg gives

a master class on recessive acting: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beady eyed and covert, with the occasional pit-viper-like sway of a truculent, lowered forehead. The film shuttles between the present-day deposition of the now arrogantly rich Zuckerberg, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sued by a quartet of burned partners (among them his former best friend Eduardo, played

by Andrew Garfield).

by Justin Timberlake, excellent as a happy wastrel.

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 sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pushed onto a noncollege track.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guggenheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 answerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the same answer weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given since the 1980s.

This may not have been Guggenheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention.

Here is Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken consolation with a ÂŁ500 a night prostitute named Charmaine (the wonderful Lucy Punch). Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeing a psychic and drinking a bit, though Allen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what this boozing might entail as either comedy or drama; alcohol is not his thing.

Meanwhile, the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Cabrillo culinary program instructor Mike Wille turns a midterm exam into a wine dinner with high marks 0G 16@7AB7</ E/B3@A

U

TTERLY calm and collected, chef Mike Wille introduced a series of winemakers to assembled diners out on the back lawn of the Sesnon House a few weeks ago. Gathered at long tables draped in white linen, the guests were about to embark on a five-course culinary journey accompanied by wines from the viticulturists of Surf City Vintners. And every bite was the handiwork of student chefs.

Dinner hit its stride, accompanied by some very smooth live jazz music, as poised young students served, cleared, poured and grinned proudly at the impressive effect their beautifully produced plates had on their gourmet audience.

From open-face ravioli of braised rabbit paired with a Quinta Cruz Touriga to beef carpaccio and MJA Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, through an ambitious fish course, a grilled chicken and Silver Mountain pinot noir entree and finally into a multilayered creamy dessert matched with an unusual late-harvest zinfandel by Michael Sones, the meal showcased the handiwork of 17 advanced students in this celebrated food service program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the success of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dare to Pairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wine and food match,â&#x20AC;? recalls Wille, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we knew we wanted to do something again with Surf City Vintners.â&#x20AC;? But in

E67A932 /E/G Student Kitami Blakey and instructor Mike Wille hit the sauce in the Pino Alto kitchen at Cabrillo College.

a departure from the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usual timetable, in which students taste a selection of wines beforehand and then create a harmonizing menu, Wille changed the plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came up with the Italian theme and the menu a week beforehand, and then tried to arrange for wines that would work,â&#x20AC;? he explains. The six winemakers, it turns out, all wanted to supply red wines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to do quite a bit of shuffling,â&#x20AC;?

Wille laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another challenge was that the gewĂźrztraminer supplied by Pelican Ranch was crisp and dry, not fruity, and hence it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go with the dish originally proposed.â&#x20AC;?

More changes were required in the menu and in the saucesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all of which contained juices of the matching wine grapes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students have to be ready

for sudden changes, just as they would in the restaurant world,â&#x20AC;? Wille says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On game day we may have to make sudden switches.â&#x20AC;?

The single-seating, banquet-style wine dinner marked a departure from the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evening dinner service at PiĂąo Alto Restaurant. Here the public can make reservations, come in and order a la carte items just as in any professional dining room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this event it was all plates served at one time, get them all out at one time and make sure that dessert was ready to serve before 8:30,â&#x20AC;? the culinary instructor explains.

The wine dinner was essentially a hands-on midterm exam that Wille has resolved to fine-tune until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect.

Trained at the Culinary Institute of America, Wille admits that being an instructor at a community college wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

his original plan. And it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my third year in the program, and what we doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making these courses accessible for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we do on a very small budget,â&#x20AC;? he says. Culinary schools can cost upward of $30,000 a year. Cabrilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program costs $26 a unit. Yet Wille admits that â&#x20AC;&#x153;working here has huge rewards. When students light up over some wonderful cooking successâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenal.â&#x20AC;? Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner provided plenty of those glowing reactions.

For the week of November 10 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): Where I live, 35 percent of all high school students confess (or brag) that they have engaged in binge drinking, which is defined as imbibing five or more alcoholic drinks in a two-hour period. According to my reading of the omens, your inner teenager may soon be longing to f lirt with that kind of intense and total release. Can I talk him or her out of it?

Eventually those forearms became wings that came in handy for f lying. In other words, the power of f light did not originate from the urge to f ly but rather from the urge to be attractive. Oddly enough, Taurus, this approach to understanding evolution would be useful for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could develop some interesting new capacities as you work to enhance your appeal to people who matter.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried,â&#x20AC;? said Winston Churchill.

He was defending his favorite political system, asserting that its imperfections are superior to the f laws of monarchy, plutocracy, anarchy, theocracy, and the rest. I invite you to use a similar gauge as you evaluate the belief system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the center of your life. Does it sometimes lead you astray, cause you to see things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really there, and fill you with confusionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but in ways that are more life-enhancing than any other belief system you know of ? Or is your belief system actually kind of toxic? Should you consider replacing it with another set of organizing principles? If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latter, now would be a good time to begin making a change.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): On the subject of being divided, novelist Iris Murdoch wrote the following: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He led a double life. Did that make him a liar? He did not feel a liar. He was a man of two truths.â&#x20AC;? Whether you deserve the generosity of that interpretation still remains to be seen, Gemini. It is possible that your version of doubleness will be rooted in deceit or delusion rather than sincere and honest duality. Of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rooting for the latter.

Please do all you can to ensure that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being authentic, not manipulative.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): My friend Arielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

6-year-old daughter Juno doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why anyone would build streets that run in a straight line. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it more fun if the highways and byways are crooked and curvy? Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t people want to get to where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going by veering this way and that, relishing the playful twists and turns? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the best action is, says Juno, and I agree: in the tweak, in the twirl, in the winding wayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not in the beeline route that leaves no room for improvisation.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially true for you right now, my fellow Cancerian.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Would you be delighted if I arranged to get an offshore oil-drilling rig named after you? Probably not. Would you celebrate if you won a prestigious all-expenses-paid vacation to the hottest war zones in Afghanistan? I doubt it. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept dubious honors and gifts like those, Leo. Be clear that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in ego strokes that are irrelevant to your long-term dreams. If you hope to get the prize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming for, you will have to say a definitive no to supposedly good things that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): The nature of the game is changing. Do you know which game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to? I mean the one that everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing but no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acknowledging theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing. The rules of the game had held steady for quite some time, but recently they began to shift. Now even the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rewards are in the process of metamorphosing. My advice? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily need to splash a big dose of raw candor all over the place, but I do recommend that you at least tell yourself the truth about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): My Facebook friend

Robert Goldberg has come up with terms for you Libras that puts a more positive spin on your reputation as a fence-sitter. He suggests â&#x20AC;&#x153;fence dancerâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fence warrior.â&#x20AC;? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always deserve to be bestowed with those honorable titles, of course.

Sometimes you really do molder there in your intermediate position, paralyzed by indecision and unable to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the best interests of anyone, including yourself. But on other occasionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you have the power to use your in-between status dynamically, coordinating the opposing interests to work as a whole thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greater than the sum of the parts.

feel alive unless I am alert,â&#x20AC;? wrote author Charles Bowden, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I cannot feel alert unless I push past the point where I have control.â&#x20AC;? Yikes! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty extreme approach. But I suggest that you consider trying it out in the coming week. If you hope to seize even one of the multiple opportunities that are swirling in your vicinity, you will need both supreme focus and a loosey-goosey willingness to respond to novelty. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tense up and blank out and try to wrestle the mysterious f lows into submission. Use your sixth sense to find the groove, and relax into it.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): Connie Post, my beloved former editor at the Dayton Daily News, sent me a haiku-like poem that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like you to ponder: â&#x20AC;&#x153;November trees / which are living? / which are dead?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping this will put you in the mood to mull over an even bigger question, namely: What parts of your own life are withering and what parts are thriving? In my astrological opinion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important that you know the difference, and act accordingly.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Numerologists say the number 10 signifies completion, wholeness, totality. It could rightly serve as your lucky number in the coming weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a symbol of your power to draw long-term processes to a climax on your own terms.

But you might also want to consider using 11 as your emblem of good mojo. That number denotes the drive to surpass the success youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned beforeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to transcend easy triumphs and conventional wisdom so as to reach for a more challenging conquest. Either way, Aquarius, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be f lying high for the foreseeable future, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to worry about which way you should go. If you do choose 11, the risks will be somewhat greater and the rewards more interesting. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): In Moby Dick, Herman Melville suggested that ideally a person should be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;patriot to heaven.â&#x20AC;? Poet Gary Snyder wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pledge allegiance to the soil / one ecosystem / in diversity / under the sun / with joyful interpenetration for all.â&#x20AC;? Seminal environmentalist Edward Abbey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My loyalties will not be bound by national borders . . . or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language or culture. I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time.â&#x20AC;? I recommend you experiment with this perspective in the coming weeks, Pisces.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to tone down your love for your tribe or country. Just see if you can expand your sense of belonging . . . extend the borders of your comfort zone . . . and feel at home everywhere you go.
