FROM THE WEB

/<B7 /<B7A3;7B7A; :3<A [RE: “Anti-Semitism at UCSC?� March 15, news.santacruz.com]: Tammi RossmanBenjamin in her piece, “Anti-Zionism and the Abuse of Academic Freedom: A Case Study at the University of California, Santa

Cruz,� seems to want UCSC to eschew any criticism of Israel/Zionism and the associated human rights violations and ethnic displacement that occurs in the region. It appears to me that Rossman-Benjamin’s anti-antisemitism lens has prevented her from seeing, or even considering, the dark side of the Israel/Zionism issue—and there is certainly a dark side. It is important not to lose sight of one’s perspective—what would a Palestinian think of Rossman-Benjamin’s argument? Her denial of the Palestinian P.O.V. is akin to Holocaust denial. Justin Steinberg

1/;>CA 1@CA/23@A I AM a part-time teacher at UC-Irvine. It is not simply a question of Jewish students not getting along with non-Jewish students. The fact is (I am speaking about universities in general) that too many professors are using their classrooms to get on their soapboxes and spread a one-sided account of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Combine that with all these so-called anti-Israel “seminars� organized by professors and the annual MSA-sponsored Israel aparthied week and what it has led to is a hostile atmosphere that has often crossed the line into anti-Jewish expression. I have seen it at UCI—often spurred on by MSA-sponsored speakers like Amir Abdel Malik Ali and others. I myself am not Jewish, but anti-Semitism on many campuses is a fact, and it is wrong.

Local Poets, Local Inspiration BVS :SbbS` I FOUND the letter in a book I bought at an outdoor theater turned flea market every weekend. It was June 1995 in a small town on the California coast. The book was Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, and the letter was tucked between pages 434 and 435, where a delirious Levin, the day after he’s proposed to Kitty, visits her parents’ home. The letter—pinkish, sealed, not mailed, faintly redolent of talcum, like a pressed flower—was from a Sarah Harris, dated inside October, 1939. Yes, I opened it and read how fine the trip was from Des Moines back to Cincinnati, suspecting nuances and unworded passages I had no way of

understanding that went along with what I took to be the mute appeal to Carl Bigelow, 913 McKinley Ave., Des Moines, Iowa, in the final paragraph: “There didn’t seem time for me to say all the things I needed to. Do you feel the same?� The Tolstoy was a book club’s bonus edition bound in grey leatherette. Had Sarah Harris purposely placed the letter between those pages depicting Levin and Kitty’s jubilant betrothal? I had no way of knowing, and refused to suppose. However, I resealed the letter, affixed fresh stamps to the envelope, and sent it on.

Great White Fight A bungled tagging prompts infighting among shark researchers BY ALASTAIR BLAND

P

PHOTOGRAPHS showing a raw, festering wound on a shark that was hooked and released by researchers at the Farallon Islands in late 2009 have surfaced, igniting questions about a controversial tagging process and setting the shark research community aflame with accusations and counterattacks. The images depict “Junior,� a great white shark that San Diego marine biologist Michael Domeier fitted with a “SPOT� tag and released on Oct. 29, 2009. During the procedure, which involved bringing the shark aboard a floating platform, the shark was accidentally hooked in the throat. Researchers performed an impromptu surgery using bolt clippers inserted through one of its gill slits to cut the hook, part of which was left in the animal’s throat when the scientists let it go. They also bolted a Smart Position or Temperature Transmitting (SPOT)

satellite tag to the shark’s dorsal fin. Junior was caught, tagged, and released within the boundaries of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, a federal zone where white shark protections include a prohibition on approaching within 164 feet of one of the animals. Though multiple scientists warned that Domeier’s handson approach to tagging great whites could injure such large, heavy fish, federal and state officials jointly greenlighted the project. Questions immediately arose about Junior’s health following Domeier’s tagging operation. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials who oversaw Domeier’s permit assuaged concerns that the shark might have been seriously wounded. A year later, Junior was not faring so well. Recently surfaced images, which were captured in October 2010 and leaked by an unknown source, show a

viewing tour company called Shark Diver and has dived with great whites for a decade, says the shark bites he has seen on other sharks tend to be cleancut wounds. But in the past week, one shark specialist has come forward with allegations that an established team of territorial great white shark researchers in Northern California shot the images of Junior in October and may have strategically released the most damning of them in an effort to sabotage Domeier’s research project, which has been featured on a National Geographic television series. Mike Neumann, who has tagged sharks and runs a cage diving outfit in Fiji called Beqa Adventure Diving, initially joined the chorus of protests agaist Domeier’s SPOT-tagging endeavor in late October 2009. Now, however, Neumann thinks “all accusations against Domeier are pure speculation.� The fact that Junior was hooked “way, way back in the throat� does not align with the nature of the injury to the shark’s face, Neumann says, and he points to photographs of Junior aboard Domeier’s boat (one of which is available at http://www.marinecsi.org/ news-events/) in which no injuries to the shark’s jaw are visible. According to Mary Jane Schramm, a NOAA spokesperson, the 2010 images of Junior were submitted last October to NOAA officials along with video footage of the shark. Neumann wants this footage made public and believes that a closer look at Junior’s injured state could confirm or debunk the claim that another shark attacked Junior. “To me it appears very, very likely that (Junior’s) condition is not a result of Michael Domeier, and if that’s what the video might tell us, then let’s see it,� says Neumann, who considers SPOTtagging a “brutal� means of studying sharks but says he remains undecided on what caused Junior’s injury. “Let’s the see the video,� he says. “Once there is clarity on the nature of Junior’s wound, then we can talk about SPOT tags.�

gaunt animal wearing a SPOT tag in its fin and bearing a large exposed wound on the right side of its face. Multiple shark experts are blaming Domeier for Junior’s condition. Just what caused the shark’s injury is not clear, however. Though Junior was hooked in the esophagus, his current wound is located on the corner of his jaw. When contacted for comment, Domeier, a marine biologist with more than 15 years of field experience, referred this reporter to the website of his nonprofit organization, Marine Conservation Science Institute, where he posted a statement in March saying the injury “was clearly inflicted by another white shark.� Such events are commonplace among great white sharks and, according to Domeier, can result in temporary weight loss of the injured animal. Domeier’s website also states that Junior has swum thousands of miles since the October 2010 photographs and was detected halfway between Hawaii and the mainland on March 23, 2011. Domeier’s critics—many of whom support more traditional shark-tagging methods by which a hand-held lance is used to affix a transmitter to the flank of a free-swimming shark—are skeptical of his explanation. A source close to the photographers who saw Junior last October suspects the cable between the baited hook and the research vessel dislocated Junior’s jaw when the scientists winched the shark toward their boat. Chris Hartzell, vice-president of the Monterey Audubon Society and an underwater photographer, also doubts another shark caused Junior’s injury. Hartzell believes the wound is technically an abscess, medically defined as inflamed area of disintegrating tissue. “An abscess indicates a circulatory problem, possibly caused by damage to the skeletal system,� Hartzell says. Hartzell speculates that the floating buoy that became jammed in Junior’s mouth during his capture might have displaced the jaw’s joint. Patric Douglas, who operates a shark-

Weather Report A spring photo essay

It may not have been the coldest or wettest Santa Cruz County winter on record, but it might have been the most miserable. The 2010–11 rainy season gave us record-low temperatures, warnings of snow on the beach, a tsunami surge that wrecked the harbor and, three days after the official start of spring, massive storms that flooded Capitola. So when spring finally arrived for real last week with a warm spell and a burst of blossoms, people went kind of crazy. Which is a good thing–especially if, like us, you happen to know someone with a camera who can document the whole lovely bloomin’ thing.

1/AB7<5 / A>3:: =D3@ AC0C@07/ THE ’BURBS get short shrift in American literature. Many of us live in suburbs, or in small towns that have the same feel as suburbs, but you’d be hard-pressed to find much fiction that does more than simply despise them. Meg Wolitzer understands both the attractions and the dangerous languor of suburbia. The Uncoupling is a gorgeously written hymn that manages to capture the charms these neighborhoods hold for their residents. The story unfolds in Stellar Plains, N.J., around the staff and students of Eleanor Roosevelt High School, which is grounded by the married English teachers Robby and Dory Lang. You either know or are part of a couple like the Langs: whip-smart, down-to-earth and admirably in love. When a new drama teacher, Fran Heller, arrives, she makes an unusual choice for the school play. She chooses Aristophanes’ comedy Lysistrata, in which the women of Greece stop having sex with men in order to stop a war. It’s just literature—but like Wolitzer’s work, much more. Soon the women of Stellar Plains find themselves compelled to stop sleeping with the men in their lives. The spell is cast. Wolitzer’s novel is funny and keenly observant. She uses the fantastic to externalize internal states that admit no easy description. This makes her an ideal companion to Alta Ifland, a Santa Cruz resident whose new collection of short stories and surreal fables is titled Death-in-a-Box. Ifland’s wry, smart stories present the everyday as the absurd and the absurd as the stuff of everyday life. Her Eastern European take on reality might make you think she’s Kafka’s little sister, and her ability to bend your mind and bring a smile to your face suggest that your next stop is the Ifland Zone. She’ll be joining Meg Wolitzer in conversation at Capitola Book CafÊ for a surreal Saturday night soiree. You’ll arrive as one person, entering one bookstore—but it will be another who leaves, with a different bookstore behind you. (Rick Kleffel)

There’s a dusky, smoky quality to Con Brio’s music that would sound killer on an old-school hi-fi in the well-appointed living room of a ’60s jazz aficionado. Since that sort of experience doesn’t really exist anymore, the band’s live shows must suffice. The name—a musical term that means “going forward with vigor�—is appropriate for the ensemble, which specializes in twilight-hour blues, powerfully deployed funk licks and intensely soulful laments. Vocalist, guitarist and bassist Xandra Corpora, a formidable presence, embodies the band’s passionate drive. Crepe Place; $8; 8pm. (PMD)

When this San Diego–based bevy of pretty boys from the Latin American musical continuum invade Moe’s Alley, they bring an intoxicating fusion of vivid Spanglish texts and hip-shaking Afro-Mexican beats to the stage. As energetic as Manu Chao but significantly less manic, the septet’s global funk is remarkable for its catchy permutations of arching horns, matter-of-fact guitar and mesmerizing percussion. In addressing race, romance and rhythm, traces of reggae resonate in the B-Side Players’ dynamic sound, and the music mirrors the lyrics urging the listener to dance, dance, dance. Moe’s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (Maya Weeks)

Like the military legacy that its name cheekily references, British Sea Power’s music harks back to a bygone era of greatness. The band’s self-assured 2001 debut The Decline of British Sea Power displayed the influence of ’80s moperock heroes Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen. In the years since, though, it’s developed a singular voice. British Sea Power’s latest, Valhalla Dancehall, is the work of a band that has achieved a shimmering, grandiose sound entirely its own. Catalyst Atrium; $18.50; 8pm. (Paul M. Davis)

AB3::/@ 1=@>A3A Favorites among the psychobilly and horror-punk crowd, Stellar Corpses are a locally grown, internationally recognized band of zombied-out, fun-loving pranksters. Their music, an amalgamation of rockabilly, hardcore, country, metal and punk, is a furious, high-energy romp complete with spooky stories, sing-along anthems and good old rawk & roll. Clever songwriting, tight musicianship and an infectious onstage energy, along with multiple tours stateside and an 11-country tour of Europe, have earned the Corpses a throng of loyal fans and a reputation as one of the finest undead bands around. 418 Project; $10; 8pm.

0/<2 =4 63/B63<A The Austinites that comprise Band of Heathens are skilled practitioners of sturdy country-tinged rock. Fast becoming one of the most notable names in the Americana scene, the band formed as a happy accident when songwriters Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi had a meeting of the minds during a shared bill at Austin venue Momo’s. Fittingly, the songwriters have focused on the live experience, going so far as to

release live recordings as their first two albums. While the subject matter—hard living and shit luck—isn’t anything worldchanging, it’s strong material delivered by a pack of seasoned pros. Kuumbwa; $21 adv/$25 door; 7:30pm. (PMD)

Originating in the late 19th century, the jug band tradition has undergone several revivals, including the current wave of popularity moving through the roots crowd. Presented by the California Jug Band Association, the Fifth Annual Jug Band Jamboree—featuring the Club Zayante Jug Stompers, Dr. Zarcon’s Breathing Machine, the Tarantulas, Waxing John and the Croker Sack Boys and more—is shaping up to be a boot-scootin’ good time.

/@:= 5CB6@73 Once a traveling man, always a traveling man—and Arlo Guthrie is no exception. With the cool voice of a soothsayer who’s been around the globe a time or two, he’s been bringing story songs to the masses from the tender age of 13. The title “American folk singer� sounds simple enough: write insightful lyrics and bring them to life with a dozen instruments. Guthrie’s career, however, has also included stints in politics, social justice activism and cultural critique, with his efforts culminating in this year’s Journey On tour, in which he reunites with the Burns Sisters on his own 21stcentury Odyssey.

1=:2E/B3@¸A / 1:/AA71 Gone are the central booths, new the sleek flotilla of high bar tables and chairs. Five flat-screen TVs lure sports fans to the expanded bar area, and the front patio has been glassed in for more versatility. But the fresh seafood creations that were the 6OeUa signature are still in place at the attractively renamed 1]ZReObS` 0O` 5`WZZ. Santa Cruz owner AchW @SSR has remodeled smartly; the new look and updated menu were enough to send me and two cocktail divas over to check it out. The menu was familiar, thanks to Chef /RO[ 0SQS``O’s wise decision to keep popular items front and center. I always fall for the warm house-smoked salmon appetizer (frankly, it’s a meal-sized portion) served with horseradish cream sauce (it could be addictive), crisp buttered baguette slices and a mound of baby greens in a killer vinaigrette. Two dollars off during happy hour! Kate didn’t hesitate to order spicy buffalo wings and an outstanding cocktail called the Pom Pom, made of vodka, pomegranate, lime and triple sec. Angela went for a glass of gruner veltliner and helped us work through our very substantial appetizers. The terrific shrimp quesadilla is still on the menu, ditto the fish tacos, seared ahi and shrimp po-boy. But for many after-work devotĂŠes—and this place has a very seductive location—the chance to grab happy-hour prices from 4pm to 7pm and again from 9pm to closing will prove irresistible.
