5=>¸A 27<3 ¸<¸ 2/A6 SO IMAGINE you are on a date, a very important date for both of you, in fact the whole world is awaiting the outcome of this event. One diner is holding the fork lefthanded, the other in the right. One orders organic and hormone/additive–free from the main course. Diner No. 2: a hamburger, fries and a Coke. Both argue bitterly over dinner and drinks afterwards. Diner No. 1 sips sparkling water with lime, the other drinks 100-year-old scotch while the restaurant owner and his wait staff pace the floor awaiting one party

or the other to pick up the check, pay and go home. Neither party makes a move. Both wait till the very last minute before the Capitol Police arrive. Party No. 1 offers to pay half; Party No. 2 refuses to pay a dime. And just before the handcuffs come out, guess who settles in full while the other leaves a miserly dollar tip? The debt ceiling vote in Congress speaks loud and clear which party cares about this huge “restaurant,� its current “owner� and all its hardworking staff. Stephen Rudzinski Soquel

However, we are equally disgusted and embarrassed by the Democrats’ shenanigans and finger-pointing, and think all members of both parties in Congress should be hung out to dry so we can start over. Tim and Sandra Butler Scotts Valley

>:3<BG 3;0/@@/AA32 MR. DENTON may want to talk to an actual Republican voter before saying he has never met one who is embarrassed by their party’s “philosophy.� Many Republican and conservative voters across the country are dissatisfied by their party’s actions or non-actions. However, those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Democrats have a president in office that they voted for and held a majority in both the House and Senate for two years, and yet Mr. Obama’s approval rating is nothing to be proud of and Congress has hit an all-time low with, I believe, 82 percent of people polled not approving. Maybe Democratic voters should look to their elected officials rather than blaming Congress for all the country’s problems. Just a thought from a Republican voter who wouldn’t vote for 99 percent of the Republicans holding office these days. Duncan Maloch Santa Rosa

/:: E3B Winemaker Jeff Emery (left) and vine expert Rick Anzalone examine moisture-induced overgrowth in a bloc of pinot noir.

The Big Chill Cool, wet weather has grape yields down 30 percent

O

ON A FOGGY August morning at Bailey’s Branciforte Ridge vineyard, Jeff Emery gently holds a cluster of pulverized grapes in his palm. They look like a miniature unripe version of the picked-over batch that sat in the refrigerator for too long: some of the berries are large, some are the size of BBs and others are barely visible. Emery started working at Santa Cruz Mountain Winery in 1979 and bought it in 2004. During these last few years he has seen some of the coolest summers of his career, and some of the hottest ones, too—sometimes in the same year. During 2010’s summer growing season, the temperature went from the mid-70s to over 100 degrees within a few days. “It fried everything,� says Emery. “The grapes went from berries to raisins overnight.� This year, vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains are coping with the fallout from late rains that shattered a portion of the crops

BY JENNY CAIN

(meaning no seed set inside the fruit, negating the need to grow and resulting in BB-sized berries). They’re also negotiating cooler-than-average summer temperatures. And while statistics suggest nothing out of the ordinary—NOAA Meteorological Technician Steven Anderson says the average summer temperature in the Monterey Bay area since 1894 has been 72 degrees, and this summer’s average has so far been 70 degrees— the growers tell another story. “For those in agriculture, it doesn’t take much to shift everything,� says Emery. Coupled with the lost crops from late rains, the cool weather has made what Emery calls a “big mess.� “This weather is killer. It’s terrible,� he says, standing in weeds that have grown up over a foot around the vineyard due to the year’s surplus moisture. He’s also facing a reduced yield. “Instead of getting a big cluster of fruit, a lot of berries are missing,� says Emery. Consultant Rick Anzalone, who’s worked with vineyards in Santa Clara

and San Mateo counties, blames the cold spring. “When spring weather is warmer, the earlier flowering tends to make a longer growing season,� says Anzalone. “The vines flowered relatively late.� Although each growing site is affected differently depending on geography and management, Emery says he’s feeling the shortage of pinot noir grapes. “I’m already hitting short supply with the ’09 and ’10,� says Emery. “It becomes an economic issue of not having enough supply.� With some exceptions, yields are down 30 percent for all varietals except chardonnay, says viticulture consultant Prudy Foxx. “That’s an average across the board. There are some who have no yield problem at all, there are others who lost everything. It’s hit-and-miss based on location and what weather they had at bloom,� says Foxx. The moisture has turned the crop’s canopies into a jungle in some cases. In the vineyard next door to Bailey’s Branciforte Ridge, vines reaching for the sky shake as workers wrestle them into submission. “You can almost hear them at night,� says Anzalone.

Foxx has witnessed similar overgrowth in many of the vineyards she manages in Santa Cruz. When doing “canopy management,� or trimming overgrowth, the weather’s mood swings are something to fear; in cold weather a grower can trim the leaves to give the grapes more sunlight, only to have all their exposed fruit zapped by hot weather the next day. “It’s a delicate balance,� she says. “We’ve trained crews that know how to do it, but it’s expensive.� The increased moisture that causes growth also creates mildew problems, which many growers combat with chemicals. Even though growers are craving more sunlight to ripen their grapes, Emery thinks this year is not entirely bad. “I’m old school. Wine should not be 16 percent alcohol and taste like jam,� he says firmly of the hot weather that can produce super-sweet fruit. Anzalone, the vineyard manager, does get frustrated at times. “Then you walk up and have a glass of wine and think about why you’re doing it,� says Anzalone. “Part of the farmer’s job is to adapt to the weather and utilize it.�

Harsh and Harsher Fourteen years ago B^X]VZa AjXVh took a fall from the Aptos Bridge. It left him paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator to breathe. Since then, Lucas has been cared for by his mother, Sylvia. In exchange for caring for a citizen who cannot care for himself, she earns $11.50 an hour from the government through >c =dbZ Hjeedgi^kZ HZgk^XZh d[ HVciV 8gjo 8djcin. That hourly wage, along with that of nearly 2,000 other in-home care workers in the county, is set to be cut by 10 percent by the county Board of Supervisors. Santa Cruz County’s contract with HZgk^XZ :beadnZZh >ciZgcVi^dcVa, the union that represents long-term care workers like Hnak^V AjXVh, expired in September of last year. Since then, the union has been locked in negotiations with the county over the proposed cut. At the Aug. 2 meeting of the HVciV 8gjo 8djcin 7dVgY d[ HjeZgk^hdgh, Lucas read from a letter he wrote to the supervisors. He said the cuts in wages would have a drastic impact on his family. “We may be forced to move from

a county where I was born and have lived my entire 43 years,� he said. “Please [take] me and others like me into consideration before making a drastic cut to a program that is barely keeping folks like my parents’ heads above water.� The problem stems from the fact that IHSC is funded through a combination of state, local and federal funds; the portions that the state and federal governments contribute have shrunk. “It’s a matter of money,� says board of supes chairman BVg` HidcZ# “We’ve been negotiating with [SEIU] as we’ve been negotiating with all the bargaining units that we have.� If the 10 percent cut that the board is proposing goes through, in-home care workers’ wages would be reduced to $10.35 an hour—low for Santa Cruz County, but still higher than the wage earned by inhome care workers in other parts of the state. “We believe that an $11.50 wage is a fair wage,� says :g^` AVghZc, SEIU organizer. “We’re not asking for an increase, although the county’s living wage ordinance for nonbenefited employees is $15 an hour. That’s what they pay landscapers and security guards.� He adds, “Our folks can’t go anywhere else. They’re already making poverty wages.� Lucas was the first of a crush of speakers who wished to give public comment on the proposed cut at the first supervisors’ meeting following a month-long recess. 9Vc Da^kZg^, chaplain at Resurrection Catholic Church in Aptos, also presented the board with a 400-signature petition asking supervisors to reconsider the decision. Larsen says the county walked away from union negotiations on July 27. There is no date set for a final vote on the issue. Tessa Stuart

Cyberpunk novelist Rudy Rucker chronicles the bizarre, but prefers a quiet life in the Santa Cruz Mountains, thank you BY DAN PULCRANO

O

Instead Instead, we’re greeted ted by a grandfatherly, grand mildmannered ret retired professor or in tortoise-shell tortoise tortoiseglasses and sandals w who comes off much youn younger than his 655 years. “Comp “Compared to what I write, m my life has been surprisingly prisingly conventional,� Rudy Rucke Rucker Ru confesses. “I’ve ve never really gone off the de deep en end,� he says, even though he writes about drug-addled drug-ad characters such as cha Skeeves, who Sk h sleeps l with i h sarcophagi h i in i a van on the cliffs between Santa Cruz and Davenport. It doesn’t bother him that he hasn’t lived that life. “If I lived in a van, it would be

hard to have an office where I can write.â€? Rucker ushers us through a living room of oak floors and oriental rugs, past a neatly arranged shelving unit of LP records and CDs (Zappa, Big Star, the Pretenders and the Pixies appear to have been played recently) and an equally organized floor-to-ceiling bookshelf with an entire row of Beat and Beat-influenced literature— Kerouac, Ginsberg, Carver, Burroughs, Bukowski—at eye level. Higher brow stuff —Nabokov, Kafka, Pynchon—are on the top shelves, and the large format art books—heavily weighted towards Picasso, Dali, Hockney, Van Gogh and the Flemish renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel—are stacked horizontally at the bottom. ¨

’M JIM OSTER. I grew up in Sunnyvale, a knot of freeways near San Jose, California. My father was an electrical engineer, and my mother sold online ads. Dad was what you might call piebald, with different colors in his hair. He stared off into the distance a lot, always thinking about his projects. Mom had warm eyes, and she’d smile and nod when she happened to look my way. But she spent most of her time staring down at her little phone’s screen. During my senior year in high school, I used to play hooky and go surfing in Santa Cruz—it was only a half-hour’s drive away. In the morning, I’d stuff my wetsuit into my backpack—instead of carrying books. My parents didn’t notice, and if they had they wouldn’t have cared. They’d had their one child, me, and by now they’d turned to other concerns: their jobs and their investments. My grades weren’t a big issue, as I’d already been accepted for admission at the University of California. My favorite surf break was off a rocky point at Four Mile Beach, on Route 1 north of Cruz. My friend Chang would drive us over there. Chang wasn’t into studying at all, he was planning to be a pro surfer, and he figured his day job could be dealing pot. He had a vintage blue Haut board with an epic feel. I was more of a short-boarder, working snappy moves up and down the tubes—when I wasn’t wiped out and floundering in the foam. Some the locals at Four Mile had taken to hassling us. A spaced-out raw-boned guy called Skeeves was on my case in particular. He was a little older than the rest of us. All he did was surf, and he lived in his van. ¨

The penchant for organization and categorization contrasts with Rucker’s obvious bias towards artists, writers and musicians who fled strictures and conventions. His sense of making order of the world, though, seems at harmony with a man whose Ph.D. specialty was mathematical logic and who spent two decades teaching computer science to engineering students at San Jose State University. Another paradox: the digital era icon, a pioneer of cyberpunk alongside William Gibson, John Shirley and Lewis Shiner, lives a largely analog existence. An old thermostat hangs from the wall. He wears a sweep hand watch and plays vinyl on a turntable, which he runs through a preamp and his computer’s sound card using a free software program to load old songs onto his iPod. “I got through 30 albums before I lost my momentum,� he says of the retirement project.

“The scratches are sort of good,� he says of the digitized vinyl recordings. “They give it an impasto quality,� Rucker muses, using the Italian term for the painting technique to build up layers of paint, a process that he has experimented with in the past few years. He motions towards one of the colorful, cartoony paintings that fill the walls of his writing room, pointing to one done several years ago that was flat on the canvas. Newer ones have relief ridges and texture from the layered paint. Sitting in an Aeron chair, a 5x7 photograph of him with two granddaughters in a bathtub next to his portrait-oriented computer monitor, Rucker explains that he likes to paint the worlds he writes about. “I often paint before I write to get some images,� he says. “After I write I don’t get as motivated. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. I’ve been there.�

11 the sides and combed forward in front implant his persona into the paradigm-shifting, slang-tossing Santa Cruz surfer-stoner dude? “I’m not a 27-year-old surfer,â€? Rucker admits. He doesn’t even surf, though he tried to when he moved to California 25 years ago. He found it “harder than I thought it would be,â€? especially the part that involved paddling out to the waves. “You get out there, and you’re exhausted.â€? Later, when he indulges our request to pose with the barely-used surf board he bought when he moved to California 25 years ago, he says, “This is just totally bogus.â€? He laughs and continues the shoot like a good sport. Having set his sights on writing “beatnik science fictionâ€? when he moved to the town where surrealists Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady cavorted in the 1950s and 1960s, Rucker seems concerned about being inauthentic as he makes shit up amidst his paintings of nudists with UFOs, flying vegetables and disembodied vaginas. “Even though I’ve published 32 books, I get anxiety over whether I’ve just been faking all this time. I wonder if I’ll be able to do it,â€? Rucker muses. â€?I’ve got all these rabbits running and all these plot threads. Am I going to be able to bring it all to a nice, grand, harmonious climax? “You don’t know what it’s going to be until you get there. You have to trust the muse.â€? The world outside his meticulously organized writing laboratory is much like the other side of the mortal membrane, where the flims live. Beyond the railing of the quintessentially Californian wooden wraparound deck that has no doubt shifted with the Santa Cruz Mountains’ winter rains and seismic activity, a tangle of native and non-native trees—eucalyptus, pine, bamboo and California oak—rise over the winding mountain asphalt below. The road leads to Main Street, Los Gatos. Sounds from construction activity at his wealthy neighbors’ homes can be heard on this hot midsummer afternoon. He calls Los Gatos “a very comfortable community,â€? even though it’s a bedroom town of “engineers ¨

Rucker’s 32nd novel, Jim and the Flims (Night Shade Books, 2011), is a departure from its hard-core science fiction predecessors. “I wanted to try something a little different,� he says. He’d been writing about a “postsingular� world after the advent of “singularity,� at which point machines became smarter than humans. There were dragonfly cameras that observed everything. He threw in teleporting as well. “It was like three hours of nonstop speedmetal,� Rucker says. “I wanted to back off and do something that’s more like fantasy. You know, like Harry Potter. Fantasy is doing really well,� he points out, though he thinks the Potter series could use a few sci-fi touches, like nanobots. In Jim and the Flims, his protagonist, Jim, punctures the membrane separating earthly existence from the afterworld. “He wants to find his wife’s soul and bring her back to Earth,� Rucker says. Jim winds up in the afterworld, which doesn’t much resemble those of classic literature, mythology or religious lore. In this alternate world are no winged angels or hell fires. Instead there are mythical creatures (“flims�) like yuels and jivas, rolling green hills and plowed plots with humanoid heads growing like cabbage. Evil flying beets traverse the horizon, and inhabitants live in a large purple, snail-like pod. With eye stalks. The Sunnyvale-bred central figure in Jim and the Flims is a recently graduated e. coli bioengineer who worked for a Santa Cruz firm trying to convert human waste into electricity, a job he lost when he served genetically modified eel at a company barbecue. His late parents had been “eaten by their jobs,� then financially wiped out in a low-grade investment scam. Without elaborating on the parallels, Rucker suggests that there are some autobiographical qualities to Jim, who’s “drawn from my life experiences.� His characters are mashups of those around him. “I model most of my characters on someone I know—or fragments of people I know, and reassemble them.� How does the sarcastically selfdescribed “kindly old author� with white hair swept back on

11 C O V E R S T O R Y | R U D Y R U C K E R and Realtors,� not bohemians and artists, as it once was. “There’s not a big subculture here,� he understates. He appreciates the scruffiness of Santa Cruz’s downtown, though he also enjoys Los Gatos’ main drag, Santa Cruz Avenue, which he says has a similar feel “except that people aren’t shoving petitions in your face or asking for money.� He bemoans the Silicon Valley town’s devolution into a place that sells “stuff to put on your table, like candlesticks and napkins. “There’s no bookstore anymore, which is pathetic.� Nonetheless, “as a place to live, I like it.� And he especially likes the proximity to Santa Cruz, which is only 20 minutes away at the right time of day. Rucker eavesdropped on Santa Cruz surf culture, picking up the slang, during his frequent jaunts over the summit. “I like going to Santa Cruz

two or three times a month. I enjoy Pacific Avenue, 14th Street Beach and Four Mile Beach,� he says. North of Santa Cruz on Highway One are the cliffs that Rucker likes to paint in plein air landscapes, just across the Brussels sprout fields from the parked vans where his latest novel’s characters sleep. Sometimes a giant squid or UFO stalks the unclothed humans in his paintings. The parallel world kicks in around Santa Cruz’s northern city limits, the defining line of the duality, the boundary between order and chaos, truth and fiction, professorial normalcy and freaky chemical mentalbrain stuff, worldly secularity and Egyptian gods, Silicon Valley and the continent’s edge, life and afterlife. And when the line’s porous, the paradox, rather than crumbling, becomes even sharper. 0

RUDY RUCKER | JIM AND THE FLIMS One particular afternoon, I did a drop-in on one of Skeeves’s waves, forcing him away from the curl. When we got back to shore, he put his face really close to mine and started yelling curses at me, even throwing in some gibberishtype incantations that he’d learned. Skeeves had this idea that he was hooked into the magic of the pyramids—or some crap like that. “Dung-beetle!� yelled Skeeves. “Ankh salaam Amenhotep.� “Calm down,� I told him. “It’s just a wave.� “Ruh nuh port mu hurra,� Skeeves intoned, making weird gestures with his hands. “Dude’s having a fit,� said Chang, standing at a safe distance. “His brain is slushed.� “It’s a magic spell, fool,� said Skeeves. “The chant is called ‘leaving in the daytime.’ I might send you two out of your bodies.� He crouched and picked up a dense, sharp rock. “Let’s take a break, Chang,� I said, briskly heading down the beach. “We’ll get some beer,� I called back to Skeeves. “You can have all my waves while I’m gone.� Skeeves’s van was parked in the lot near Chang’s pickup. Skeeves lived in

this van, mostly, and he had tinted glass in the rear windows. He’d painted occult symbols all over the vehicle— ankh crosses with loops on top, scarab beetles, hovering eyes, hieroglyphs, and a long pair of wings flowing back from the front wheel wells. Peering in through the van’s dusky rear window, we could make out a long gold box in the back of the van. “Skeeves got into the Egyptian stuff when he started dealing dope to Julian Crocker in San Francisco,� said Chang. “But, wow. Is that a casket?� “Who’s Crocker?� “He’s a screwball descendant of this rich old family. He lives in a mansion with all these wack antiquities. Skeeves is up there all the time. Last week he was putting together a deal to sell Crocker a bunch of ketamine.� I brooded about Skeeves on the short drive to the Quick Mart in Davenport. And when we got back to the Four Mile Beach parking lot, I took a knife out of Chang’s glove compartment and slashed one of the front tires on Skeeves’s van. Chang and I carried the beer down to the beach and had a mellow hour or two on the waves. I even forgot about slashing Skeeves’s tire—until we all went back up to the lot together.

Chang was laughing so hard that the weird old surfer quickly figured out it was me who’d done the deed. Skeeves said he was going to kill me—he fetched an axe with a green-painted handle from the van. I was scared. It was hard to tell what Skeeves might do. And it looked as if the axe blade already had blood on it. Chang and I ran, leading Skeeves in a big circle. We got back to Chang’s pickup first, then hopped in and drove away. It was maybe the next day when we saw in the paper that Julian Crocker had been found dead in his home. The cops thought it might be a drug overdose. Crocker was found lying beside a fireplace filled with ashes. Apparently he’d suffocated from some smoke. And an ancient gold sarcophagus was said to be missing from the Crocker manse. But there were no actual signs of robbery. In any case, Crocker’s surviving relatives weren’t interested in trying to make a case. And the cops quickly lost interest. Quite a few of the surf crowd must have suspected that Skeeves was involved—especially with that funky gold casket right in his van. A rumor was circulating among us that Skeeves was obsessed with a female mummy that he’d found in the gold

box. Worshipping her or something. Not that any of us was going public with this stuff. Chang and I had switched to surfing Pleasure Point down near 41st Street in Cruz. There were some psychos there, too, and a few of them made a point of picking on us— especially when they found out that we were valley guys from near San Jose. Chang toughed it out and got in with the brahs—his steady supply of weed was a help. But I couldn’t get past the hostility. And then I was, like, to hell with it—and I went back to skateboarding. I’d never been that good of a surfer anyway. After high school I went to college at the Santa Cruz campus of the University of California. I decided to go for a bachelor’s degree in bioengineering. Everyone said biotech was the coming thing, and the courses appealed to me. I’d always liked videogames, and I dug the idea of viewing the natural world as being a big program that we could mod and hack. Of course there were people— especially around Cruz—who worried that biotech was going to bring on some filthy germs who’d kill us all. My professors said that wasn’t a real problem because, if you looked ¨ #

He turned his head towards Chang, moving as slowly as a plant tracking the sun. “I like that girl mummy,� allowed Skeeves in a low murmur, his tongue loosened by the pot. “Not the guy who’s in the box with her. Julian Crocker and I smoked the third mummy, you know. Amenhotep. He was down under the other two, all crumbly like rotten wood. We burned Amenhotep in Crocker’s marble fireplace, the two of us leaning into the fumes, very resinous, very tasty. What a rush. But then Crocker died, the lightweight.� “Mummies?� I said numbly, feeling the layers of reality come peeling off. “That mummy woman—I’m very tight with her,� came Skeeves’s raspy whisper. “She’s always the same. Every now and then, in my head, she talks to me.� “Can we see them?� asked Chang. “They’re in that gold sarcophagus in the back of your van, right? You’re legendary, dude.� “I—I don’t think Jim here could handle it,� said Skeeves thoughtfully. “The spirit of Amenhotep destroys the weak.� “Did you say that you smoked Amenhotep’s mummy?� I had to ask. “You and Crocker?� Skeeves squinted at me for a long time. “Remember the axe, Jim,� he said, finally, and laid his bony finger over his lips. I knew then that Skeeves hadn’t forgotten about the slashed tire at all. But, now that he’d shared his secret with me—or run me through a bizarre put-on—we were closer than before. From then on, when I crossed Skeeves’s path around Cruz, I’d wave, and he’d favor me with a slow nod. Not that I spent that much time thinking about him or about the gunjy mummy-chick who was supposed to be in his Egyptian sarcophagus. 0 4`][ 1VO^bS` =\S( 4]c` ;WZS 0SOQV 1]^g`WUVb – @cRg @cQYS` `cRg.`cRg`cQYS` Q][

into it a little, you could see that our whole entire ecology is made of plants, animals, and microorganisms who want to eat everything. All the species had been mutating and evolving for billions of years, each and every one of them striving for world domination. And no piddlyass organism we were going to cook up in a lab had any chance of taking down the ancient, battle-scarred pros. To hear my profs tell it, homebrewed germs were like high-school grommets facing the gnarly surfers of Four Mile Beach. Well, maybe they were right, and maybe not. Either way, I figured it would be good to have a rebellious, clear-minded guy like me on the inside of the biotech biz. I’d be ready to blow the whistle on the Earthrapers, if it ever came down to that. Meanwhile I was hoping to discover some cool things, and to make a good living as well. My old friend Chang was living down in Cruz by now, too, surfing his ass off. He won a few local contests, and during my junior year at UC–Santa Cruz, he got invited to the annual Mavericks big wave contest a few miles up the coast. I went to watch him, that is, to watch the faint line on the horizon where the big waves were. On the TV monitors, we could see Chang carving sick curves into the wobbly mountains of glass. He placed in the top five and he picked up some sponsorship deals. Chang came by my rented room a month after Mavericks and lent me a board so we could go riding at Four Mile like old times. Sure enough, our man Skeeves was still on the waves, indefatigable as a Terminator robot, still living in his Egyptian-themed van. By now Chang was in some sense a friend of Skeeves, that is to say, Skeeves’s over-tweaked synapses could successfully achieve a patternrecognition of Chang’s face. He walked over to us and Chang broke out a joint. Skeeves seemed to recognize me, but, so far as I could tell, he’d forgotten about the slashed tire. I figured the joint was like a peace pipe. But after a few tokes, Chang, never one to let things stay calm, started ribbing the eccentric old surfer. “Getting much action?� Chang asked him. “Still

SSC launches a three-season project with ‘Henry IV, Part I’ BY CHRISTINA WATERS

B

BRILLIANT flashes of scarlet punctuated the misty redwood glen last Friday as the third drama in this season’s Shakespeare Santa Cruz opened to a rapt full house. The first of the three central histories tracing the rise of royal rogues, Henry IV, Part I reverberates with one part kingly remorse, another part power grab and a third part Sir John Falstaff. In this masterpiece of language and intrigue, Shakespeare interwove the imagined back story behind the takeover of the English throne by Henry Bolingbroke and the tale of ribald Falstaff, the carousing buddy of the king’s son, Prince Hal. One of the best-known and best-loved characters in the canon, Falstaff is a larger-thanlife lout whose hard-drinking lifestyle has lowered the standing of the Prince of Wales in the eyes of his father. Bolingbroke (played with much bluster by V. Craig Heidenreich)—whose crown was purchased by the murder of the honorable Richard II—wishes that his son would reject the wastrel Falstaff and act like a proper royal. In other words, he wishes Hal (Erik Heger) were more like the Earl of Northumberland’s son, young Harry “Hotspur� Percy (J. Todd Adams), who is the image of a courageous, royal soldier. Northumberland (Phil Hubbard) and his kinsmen, including Westmoreland (Jeff Mills), were chosen

HOT ACT TO FOLLOW Warrior and would-be future king Hotspur (J. Todd Adams, center) incites rebellion in ‘Henry IV, Part One.’ by the late King Richard II to succeed the throne. But Bolingbroke had other plans, and has passed over the legitimate heirs in favor of his own son, the temporarily dissolute Hal. Determined to regain what is rightfully theirs, Northumberland and his allies have made common cause with Glendower, a powerful Welsh chieftain who brings men and loquacious magic to the bid to win back lands and prestige. If this all sounds complicated, it rang clearly and powerfully in the new production of the play that launched the SSC career of a young Paul Whitworth, who played a wild punk rocker Hal in 1984. The company is bracingly directed by Scott Wentworth, and the action storms across the simple yet effective set (also used in Three Musketeers) in seamless fashion, with B. Modern’s understated costumes of black leather punctuated with splendid flourishes of scarlet and gold. Betting that modern audiences aren’t up on their early renaissance history,

Wentworth’s production begins with a brief prologue getting us up to speed. Bolingbroke learns that civil war is brewing, and the audacious Hotspur— “Mars in swaddling clothes�—has just defeated an invasion of Scots. Moving briskly, the play’s rhythms are largely determined by some pivotal casting decisions. It will come as no surprise to audiences who remember J. Todd Adams’ astonishing turn as Puck in 2009’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream that he climbs into his character’s unrestrained passion and never lets go. So adroit is Adams, in physical grace and gusto as well as verbal intelligence, that he commands the stage with his every speech and gesture. It’s impossible to tire of watching this disarming and subtle actor swoop, cajole and thunder both in his monumental tirades as well as measured, nuanced asides. He’s reason enough to see this Henry more than once. Every bit his match in verbal cunning and eloquent sight gags is Richard Ziman’s Falstaff, who makes

witty, crystalline mincemeat out of some of Shakespeare’s smartest ripostes. So fine is this entire company, especially in the tightly-choreographed ensemble scenes, that it’s difficult to remember that we are watching actors describing the woes and deceits of five centuries ago and 3,000 miles away. I would have enjoyed a more nimble Hal to match Adams’ insolent Hotspur, but the opening night’s audience was glued to Ziman’s Falstaff. Kudos as well to the bawdy slatterns of Cheapside, who offered a few memorable moments of Shakespearean rag, and to the haunting vocal work of Sepideh Moafi as the Welsh Lady Mortimer.

Magic of Mizuno Japanese composer’s work shines on the Cabrillo Festival’s opening weekend

BY SCOTT MACCLELLAND

MARIN ALSOP claims variety is a goal of her Cabrillo Festival programming. Plenty of that was heard in the festival’s two full orchestra programs last weekend. Nine of 10 works performed Friday and Saturday nights at Civic Auditorium were composed since 2003, while one of the best, Shuko Mizuno’s Natsu, dates from 1988. Born in 1934, the shy Mizuno seemed a bit shell-shocked by the Cabrillo orchestra’s brilliant performance and the boisterous audience response that followed. From the podium, Alsop described the work—the title of which means “summer� in Japanese—as “harmonically dense� and its composer as the “Japanese Rouse,� referring to one of the Americans she has long championed at Cabrillo. Mizuno’s 25-minute symphonic poem does indeed bear comparison with some of Pulitzer Prize winner Christopher Rouse’s single-movement scores, especially where the full orchestra explodes in a tapestry of mind-boggling complexity. Yet, for all its denseness, Mizuno keeps the texture transparent, no small achievement when everyone onstage is furiously engaged. (How Alsop protects her ears against the fortissimo onslaughts she conjures up is a closely held secret.) Otherwise, however, Mizuno’s textures tend toward a warmly sonorous character, in contrast to Rouse’s predictable edginess. Moreover, Natsu provides moments of intimacy, calling on

only a few players and cameo solos of great delicacy. The Saturday program also delivered some refreshingly welcome news from Iran in the form of a grand, romantic piano concerto by ex-pat Behzad Ranjbaran, a graduate of the Teheran Conservatory, Indiana University and Juilliard. Redolent of Khatchaturian’s grand piano concerto, this 2008 work also carried its fair share of local folkloric colorisms. The dramatic first movement, with powerful outbursts against soulfully fragile moments, was followed in turn by Distant Dreams, a nocturnal fantasy, then a festive finale. Soloist JeanYves Thibaudet—Alsop’s “favorite pianist�—displayed a remarkably complimentary color palette of his own, and sizzling virtuosity. The concert opened with Elena Kats-Chernin’s charming homage to Astor Piazzolla, Re-Collecting ASTORoids. Among dangers composers face is completing a work that turns out to be more personal than communicative. On Friday night, Rouse’s Odna Zhizn (A Life) painted a portrait of “the love of my life,�

who, evidently, endured numerous personal trials. Rouse introduced it by remarking on its “code,� which wouldn’t be understood anyway. Oops! That comment charged the audience with an expectation, if not a distraction. The piece proved to be a thorny ride—not unusual for this talented composer—but overwrought and expressively arcane. James MacMillan’s Piano Concerto No. 3 Mysteries of Light sparkled with the Scotsman’s distinctive orchestrations and craftsmanship, though the piano part, realized by Thibaudet, tended more toward the decorative than the substantial. It nicely recalled some of Olivier Messiaen’s enchanting bird songs. The Friday program also included an “airborne postcard� by Mason Bates called Desert Transport and opened with a tasty and energetic morsel by Margaret Brouwer titled Pulse. Dashed off to celebrate Alsop’s 20th season at Cabrillo were short orchestral fireworks by Philip Glass (Black and White Scherzo) and Mark Adamo (Prepositions and the Names of Fish) and John Corigliano’s gentle Cabrillo Lullaby, which recalled Copland’s Quiet City. 0

B637@ 1C>A @C<<3B6 =D3@ THE COMMON brassiere is a thing of the past, thanks to the outrageous “Bras for A Cause� gala and live auction fundraiser, now in its sixth year. Organized by Soroptimist (meaning “good for women� in Latin) International of Capitola, Bras for A Cause dares entrants to get zany and design a bra to enter into the auction. Nothing is considered too bodacious. Last year’s contest produced pieces like the “Boulder Holder,� an artsy bra intricately laid with blue stones; the provocative “Squeeze Me, Stomp Me, Make Me Wine,� fashioned from wine corks and grapes; and the “Double Shot,� an uplifting display of coffee beanfestooned cups. “It’s truly amazing how creative and fun the entries are every year,� says Monica DeCosta, co-chair of this year’s gala. The, ahem, perks go to WomenCARE, an organization that supports local women who have cancer, and Gemma, a program of the Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County, which helps women reintegrate with their families and the community after incarceration. Last year, Bras for A Cause raised $11,000, and this year is expected to bust right out of that category. “The enthusiasm for the event has really grown, because we’ve done a lot more outreach in the community over the past year, and I have to say, the response has been great,� says Kate McGuire of Soroptimist International. Awards include cash prizes for the top three winning bras. Bras may be entered no later than Aug. 12, so artists breast get busy.

Though the moniker Queen of the Minor Key was given, according to Eilen Jewell, as a less-than-flattering reference to her sound and subject matter, the Idaho-born singer songwriter has taken the name and run with it. And to those of us who appreciate life in the minor key, she is a refreshing voice in the Americana scene, a peddler of songs about leaving, breaking up and breaking down sung with a sliding and lonesome voice. Capable of finding the roadhouse soul in folk, country and pop songs, Jewell is a hot topic in the roots-music buzz-o-sphere. If you haven’t heard of her, consider this a nudge to check out a multi-faceted gem that won’t be hidden for long. As one reviewer said, “Gillian who?� Crepe Place; $12 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

A phoned-in cameo on a Katy Perry song, a rap for a Bollywood film— Snoop Dogg has so much accrued cred he’s untouchable, no matter what improbable guest appearance he may cash a paycheck for. That’s what happens when your debut album stands as one of the greatest in hip-hop history, and you follow that with a string of lesser albums that still boast classic singles. In his lethargic latter-day guest spots he seems to be getting paid by the syllable, but he still has one of the most effortless flows in the industry, with a laid-back laconic drawl and unwavering charisma. The Catalyst; $53 adv/$59 door; 8pm. (Paul M. Davis)

2/E< :/<23A /<2 B63 6=C<2A While Dawn Landes definitely exhibits some roots music tendencies, she gets lumped into the folk-alt-country category a bit too easily. The multiinstrumentalist’s music is as indie-tastic as anything put out by Cat Power, Joanna Newsom and the like, with its minimalist aesthetic and experimental texturing. But listener beware: any attempt to pigeonhole Landes as an indie starlet would prove mistaken as she kicks it into get-down gear, playing in the old-school country style complete with slide guitar, harmonica and a thumping bass. My advice is to steer clear of categorization and enjoy the sounds of a born musician who’s a little bit country, a little bit indie and a whole lot of talent. Crepe Place; $8; 9pm. (CJ)

03@:7< 43/BC@7<5 B3@@7 <C<< Which Berlin will be playing the Beach Boardwalk? Will it be the provocative New Wave horndogs who wrote the Me Decade hookup anthem “Sex (I’m A...)�? Or will it be the more palatable hitmakers behind iconic ’80s tracks “Metro� and Top Gun love ballad “Take My Breath Away�? Since this is an allages gig, we’re betting on the latter. That’s not so bad—there are few bands from that era with such a consistent string of hits, and even fewer that boast a frontwoman as electrifying as Terri Nunn, the sassy and salacious force of nature that set Berlin apart from their peers. The Boardwalk; free; 6:30 and 8:30pm. (PMD)

On paper, Sonoma State University’s jazz program might seem like a strange place for the roots of a reggae band to grow, but the musicians of Groundation prove otherwise. Formed in 1998, Groundation has been fusing reggae, jazz, Latin horns and soul into a mellow sound that is purely its own. Despite lineup changes, the band continues to grow and has headlined music festivals throughout the world. This Wednesday’s show honors the birthday of the late Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey.

@3D73EA BEGINNERS (R; 104 min.) In this semi-autobiographical film inspired by writerdirector Mike Mills’ past, Oliver (Ewan McGregor) must deal with two revelations about his father (Christopher Plummer): that, after 45 years of marriage to Oliver’s late mother, he is coming out of the closet; and that he has terminal cancer. Such honesty marks a new beginning for the father-son relationship and helps Oliver define his feelings for a French actress he has just met (MĂŠlanie Laurent). BUCK (PG; 88 min.) This documentary, fresh from a successful run at Sundance, tells the story of “horse whispererâ€? Buck Brannaman. The film reveals Brannaman’s childhood history of abuse. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (PG-13; 124 min.) In the live action origin story of the Marvel comics series, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is deemed unfit to join the Army, but he finds another way of fighting the Nazis: He joins a secret military project.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (R; 110 min.) Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis star in this romance about—well, the name says it all. With Andy Samberg, Woody Harrelson and Patricia Clarkson. HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART II (PG-13; 130 min.) Director David Yates wraps up the 10-year saga in a cluttered, confusing finale— which doesn’t prevent it from being a fast-paced adventure that definitively strikes the sets. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), now a sturdy, bland young man, must go solo against the Noseless One (Ralph Fiennes), who, sickened by the loss of most of his soul, looks like a poisoned, bleached ape. And what of Snape (Alan Rickman)? This should have been Snape’s crescendo—nope. The reveal of a tender heart under a supercilious hide is all we get. It’s a nocturnal film, and Yates is at his best borrowing from Fritz Lang: the cloaked scholars in formation in the courtyard, the figures in silhouette meeting on a staircase top. The downside is claustrophobia from lack of natural light. The religious cranks who said the Potter films failed to endorse the traditional family will get theirs in the epilogue, which returns this horror story to the kid-friendly place where it began. (RvB) MAGIC TRIP (R) Two directors got unprecedented access to 16mm footage shot by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters on their

1964 road trip across America aboard the Magic Bus.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13; 100 min.) Woody Allen wrote and directed this film about Gil (Owen Wilson), a killjoy writer on vacation in Paris with his fiancÊe (Rachel McAdams) and her family. When they run into some old friends (Michael Sheen and Nina Arianda), Gil begins stealing away from his party by taking conspicuously long walks at night. He soon discovers a newfound love for the city, and life, in this romantic comedy that asks the question: Is a different life better, or is it just—different?

As Caesar grows, he’s played by a synthespian modeled on the always-amazing Andy Serkis; this and the story’s links to the tragic story of Nim Chimpsky (as seen recently in Project Nim) “grounds the balloon� as James Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum put it. The last third of the film, thrilling and fast, takes over Caesar’s story. Wyatt shines here, bringing in images of urban rebellion that have as much zeitgeist as the first Apes movie did in 1968. Like the J.J. Abrams remake of Star Trek, this isn’t a demolition job but a handsomely done renovation of an old property. (RvB)

PROJECT NIM (NR; 93 min.) From the director of Man on Wire, a documentary about a chimpanzee raised as a human—complete with training in sign language—in the 1970s. Nim was sent on a bouncing journey from place to place as his animal nature asserted itself and one group of humans after another found itself unable to cope with him.

SMURFS (PG; 86 min.) The evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) drives the Smurfs from their woodland village. In their haste, the little blue fellows stumble into a mysterious portal, which spits them out in New York City where they are taken in by a sweet married couple (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) who tries to help them find their way home.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13, 115 min.) If there are two words that sum up Rupert Wyatt’s film, they are “strangely plausible.� At Genesis, a Bay Area genetic tech lab of about 2012 or so, scientist Will Rodman (Palo Alto’s own James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer’s. When a superintelligent baby lab chimp named Caesar is ordered to be destroyed, Will brings him home to his Peninsula home, and a San Francisco Zoo veterinarian (Freida Pinto) helps him raise the critter.

THE TRIP (NR; 115 min.) Comic masters of impression and insult Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon take their British television series to the big screen with this story of two pals tooling around northern England on a tour of fine restaurants, irritating each other to no end. WINNIE-THE-POOH (G; 69 min.) Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit and Piglet set out to rescue Christopher Robin after Pooh misinterprets a note from Christopher and assumes he has been kidnapped by a creature named “Backson.�

‘The Devil’s Double’ looks at the horror show that was Saddam’s Iraq BY RICHARD VON BUSACK IN THE irresistibly tough The Devil’s Double, director Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day) takes on Uday Hussein’s Nero-worthy enormities. Uday was nicknamed “Abu Harsan,� the wolf, yet the satanic son of Saddam had his gentler side. Reviewing his video collection, Newsweek sniped, “Those viewed so far have been less pornographic than puerile.� Sure he was a rapist, a torturer and a murderer, but he owned three copies of Air Bud. After surviving the front in the Iraq/Iran War, the army officer Latif (Dominic Cooper) is called in for a meeting with a man he knew (and apparently disliked) from school. It has struck Uday Hussein that all great men have doubles to foil assassins. So Latif endures a round of plastic surgery and dental prosthesis. (Uday has a gap in his teeth; when he gives his spine-chilling grin, he looks like a leering camelid.) At first, Tamahori and Cooper make Uday seem a charming Lucifer by contrast to a slightly stiff and wary Latif. Between them is Uday’s significant concubine, sashaying through his palaces. Sarrab (appropriately pronounced “Syrup’) is played by the infernally chemical Ludivine Sagnier. Lounging at various Iraqi discos in a spectrum

of Dynel wigs, Sagnier has the kind of mouth once described by writer Angela Carter as waiting for someone, anyone, everyone to pop a piece of candy into it. Sarrab exists in such a beautifully mimicked state of heat that it looks as if she’s actually going to melt, that the already wide-set eyes are going to begin drifting shoulderward. Sarrab spurs the transformation of Latif. It’s a ceremony begun in bed as George H.W. Bush commences the Gulf War bombing of the capital of his former political ally. Latif ’s quietness and wariness begin to look like watching and waiting. And in contrast to this suaveness, it’s Uday’s braying, vicious tyrant one wants to see get it. If I haven’t made it clear there’s a trashy streak to the film, here goes. While modeled on De Palma’s Scarface (with oily, fringed haircut, the flagrant fellation of Gran Corona cigars, the gold-plated automatic pistols), The Devil’s Double is essentially more fun. Tony Montana was, as he said, just a businessman. This Uday had a whole nation to devour.

MINI SPREE Carra Duggan shows off the Tuesday goods.

This Little Market

F

4/@; 4@3A6 BC3A2/GA Last Tuesday I found 1O``O 2cUUO\, the flower grower at 3dS`Sbb 4O[WZg 4O`[, ensconced on the sunny porch between Farmers Exchange and @WdS` 1OTS. For the past month, Duggan and Everett Family growers have been offering an organic mini-market on Tuesdays from 11:30am–4pm at the popular veranda location on River Street. “We’re seeing how it goes,â€? said Duggan. Last week the charming little stand was bursting with zinnias, yarrows and Peruvian lilies, as well as slender young celeries, salad mix and padron peppers. Baskets overflowed with summer squashes in pale greens and yellow, fat pink beets and bold crimson strawberries. So it seems that now on Tuesdays when you crave that end-of-the-day pot of tea and lavender cookie from River Cafe, you can also take home a sweet bouquet and green beans for a dinnertime stir fry.
