Devil in the Desal Details The Santa Cruz Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s description of Measure P (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ballot Points,â&#x20AC;? Oct. 10), the right to vote on desal, is wrong. The current ordinance is different from the proposed charter amendment in two important respects. The actual ordinance specifies that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;does not prohibit the City from taking other action, short of construction.â&#x20AC;? Measure P calls for voter approval for any planning that requires legislation or city indebtedness. Most importantly, a city ordinance can be changed by the city council. A yes vote on Measure P is a yes vote that ensures Santa Cruz city voters will be able to vote on a desalination plant unless a later majority of voters passes a measure that would overturn it. Changing an ordinance only requires a handful of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s votes,
changing a charter amendment requires tens of thousands of votes. Measure P gives the people of Santa Cruz a direct way of deciding on how their water needs are met. It will allow for more of a public process and more discussion of the pros and cons of desalination. That is what democracy is about. DORAH SHUEY Santa Cruz FROM THE WEB 4@=; B63 E30
Amused in 5th District Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived in the 5th district for 30 years, and I am greatly amused by all the letters to the editor about the upcoming supervisorial election. A great deal of the 5th district is not part of the San Lorenzo Valley, and in fact includes parts of the City of Santa Cruz,
Scotts Valley and extends all the way up to Castle Rock State Park. These areas have differing concerns than people in the SLV. In the 30 years I have lived here, I have never met nor seen any 5th district supervisor or candidate who has bothered to come to my neighborhood and talk to us. They simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about those of us outside of the SLV area. So, imagine my surprise when Bruce McPherson knocked on my door a couple weeks before the June primary. He introduced himself and wondered if I had any concerns. I chuckled and told him that he was the first and only candidate to show up at my front door in 30 years. Eric Hammer made an appearance after the primary. My neighbor asked him why he was there and he told him that it was a tight race and he needed every vote he could get. You can probably tell where my voteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going. NICK HAFLINGER Santa Cruz
Elect Hammer Eric Hammer is remarkable. His volunteer community service is lifelong. His decades of volunteer leadership continue to serve the environment, children, teens, schools, local business, parks and social services. Eric built a superior construction business with high standards of performance and respect for the environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exemplary employer and handles enormous jobs with facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is committed to improving and streamlining the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s procedures. Eric is dedicated to the preservation and protection of our watersheds and coast. He is a great family man glowing with pride and love for his wife and children. He has a generosity of spirit enabling him to work with all kinds of people. He is a problem solver. He does a superior job, not just a good job. We need him as our Supervisor. Now. NANCY MACY

Currents FINDING DIRECTION The Homeless Services Center on Coral Street has been at the epicenter of the debate over how to solve Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless problem.
Slow Change What happened to city leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposals for homelessness and public safety? BY JACOB PIERCE
W
hen Charles Edwards, a mentally ill homeless man from San Francisco, stabbed Camouflage co-owner Shannon Collins on Ocean Street in May, he sent shockwaves through the Santa Cruz community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone felt so much pressure to act,â&#x20AC;? Rowland Rebele says of the intense debate over the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless problem that arose after Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; murder. Rebele, a philanthropist serving on the Homeless Services board, was not involved in the eight resulting proposals put forth in the aftermath. Those came from three city councilmembers and Homeless Services Director Monica Martinez. But he sees where the suggestions are coming from.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable,â&#x20AC;? he adds â&#x20AC;&#x153;that things would get put forth and not fleshed out.â&#x20AC;? The Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum last week at which Martinez discussed with local business owners some of Homeless Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effortsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;among them, Project 180/180, aimed at aiding the most at-risk homeless. Bill Tysseling, the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, was impressed at the strong support shown for the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really believe what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about is making a fundamental change in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing about the chronically homeless population,â&#x20AC;? Tysseling says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a conversation worth having.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, five months after Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
death, some of the proposals laid out for homeless services and public safety seem to have panned out well: â&#x20AC;˘ The newly expanded Homeward Bound Program has in the past two months given over two dozen homeless individuals one-way bus tickets to areas where they have family. â&#x20AC;˘ This summer, the city partnered with county mental health workers to expand the MOST program, which provides services for the mentally ill. â&#x20AC;˘ Martinez began meeting regularly with a designated police officer in an attempt to strengthen communication with law enforcement. But other proposals on the May list have not proved so cut-and-dried. Take, for example, the promise
not to â&#x20AC;&#x153;support any new homeless service facilitiesâ&#x20AC;? and instead pressure nearby jurisdictions to share that responsibility. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intriguing idea, but one without any teeth. City councils donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the authority to keep out shelters, so long as those facilities meet planning codes, thanks to the Housing and Supportive Services Bill signed into law by then-Governor Schwarzenegger in 2007. Councilmember Ryan Coonerty says he, along with fellow councilmember Lynn Robinson and vice mayor Hilary Bryant, mostly wanted to pressure other nearby areas to step up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of facilities in Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? Coonerty says. Santa Cruz is home to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health building, courthouse and jail. Depending on the time of year, the city has between three and five shelters, some of them for families. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest homeless shelter is a facility in Live Oak for veterans, and there are also two homeless shelters in Watsonville. Another proposal thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been difficult to implement is one in which councilmembers said they would work with property owners of public housing to screen tenants for criminal history. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proving to be easier said than done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one is legally complicated,â&#x20AC;? Coonerty says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to figure out what we can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do with property owners.â&#x20AC;? Yet another provision that seems to have hit a dead end asked the county jail to return prisoners to their community of origin, upon completion of their sentences. It would, first of all, be no easy task to begin with, given the fiscal realities in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problems weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to solve are not easy problems,â&#x20AC;? Coonerty says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so many of these are a lot larger than the city of Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;mental health issues, issues with the jail system. We were trying to address common problems about the system [with these proposals], and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten most of them.â&#x20AC;? 0

Write Here, Write Now Dave Eggers comes to Bookshop Santa Cruz this weekend to benefit Santa Cruz Writesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fledgling Young Writers program. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the local project has caught the attention of one of litâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading lights BY GEORGIA PERRY
O
nce upon a time there was a knight and the knight fought any kind of monsters you can imagine with his buddy Puss in Boots. On their way back from fighting monsters in a faraway world they came home to find no gold in their village, Jellystone. It had been stolen. The villagers were upset and asked Puss in Boots and the knight to find their gold. They said â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;From â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mystery of the Missing Goldâ&#x20AC;? by fourth-grader Roen Rawlings
What you just read is an excerpt from a short story by Roen Rawlings called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mystery of the Missing Gold.â&#x20AC;? Rawlings is a student in Terra Barsantiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class at Pacific Elementary School, one of two pilot classrooms participating in Santa Cruz Writesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Young Writers Program. Her students, including Rawlings, are right now working on an exercise called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theater.â&#x20AC;? With the help of Young Writers Program volunteers, they take turns reading aloud facts about water and occasionally getting their classmates to guess what word comes next. One girl recites from a piece of paper, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If

The girl coyly shakes her head, and Barsanti encourages her to act it out. The girl bends over and lets her arms hang limply towards her feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wilt!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wither!â&#x20AC;? She perks her head up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;? Then she sags back down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Droop?â&#x20AC;? She snaps back up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes!â&#x20AC;?

Later, Barsanti and the volunteers encourage the students to think of one fact from the presentations that really resonated with them, and to channel that into some further questions they could ask in an essay on the topic. Volunteers sit at tables in child-sized yellow chairs, each with a group of four or five students. As the exercise goes on, Barsanti leads all the groups in a class-wide discussion, and some relevant and surprising ideas begin to grow. At first, a boy with a mop of curly brown hair, who often writes under the pen name Fargles Gopher, brings up his current favorite topic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People waste water by putting water in holes to get gophers out. But then they just move and create other holes in their garden.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a topic you could research, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been into gophers,â&#x20AC;? Barsanti offers. He throws his hands above his head and begins to dance in his seat, with an exultant, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew he was going to do something about gophers,â&#x20AC;? she later confesses, over a cafeteria lunch of stuffed baked potatoes and steamed broccoli. The knight is tall and thin and he always wore a helmet and he had a magic sword. Puss in Boots was orange with orange stripes and a short orange tail. He wore magic black boots and a black belt with a silver sword. An arm of the nonprofit Santa Cruz Writes, the Young Writers

Program brings trained volunteers into classrooms to help kids with their writing through one-onone attention. Each classroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing project is on a topic of the individual teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choosing. Julia Chiapella, director of the Young Writers Program, started Santa Cruz Writes last year along with co-founders Jory Post and Karen Ackland. She is modeling the Young Writers Program after San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 826 Valencia writing center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we want to do is value the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work. We want to put the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work in an arena that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your writing is valuable, your writing has meaning, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a larger audience for it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Chiapella. 826 Valencia co-founder Dave Eggers
will be helping out the Young Writers Program this weekend, at a benefit Sunday, October 28 from 1-4pm at Bookshop Santa Cruz. But this is not your typical book event, says Bookshop Santa Cruz owner Casey Coonerty Protti. There will be no reading and no Q&A. Instead, Eggers will be signing copies of his books, as well as drawing one-of-akind portraits of pets and objectsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no humans. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, maybe hands and feet, in a pinch,â&#x20AC;? says Chiapella.) Entry and signing is free, while a hundred percent of the sliding scale donation of $50$100 for the drawings goes to the Young Writers Program. Those who want to secure a place in line for drawings can register online at the Bookshop Santa Cruz website.

WORDS WITH FRIENDS Young Writers Program volunteer Palu Glessner does an exercise with Bodhi Trang.
Securing an afternoon with an author like Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his latest book, A Hologram for the King, was just named a finalist for the National Book Awardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only speaks to the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing momentum. By working closely with 826 Valencia and making connections with Santa Cruz institutions such as Bookshop Santa Cruz and the Department of Education, Chiapella hopes to grow the organization into a highly regarded and well-known institution of its own in the years to come, maybe with its own storefront someday. Mainly, though, the emphasis is on helping kids with their writingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and everything that goes along with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children need an outlet, in the same way that adults do, and teaching them how to write teaches them how to communicate with the world. They have amazing stories to share, and the Young Writers Program hands them the pencil, sits beside them and encourages them to keep going,â&#x20AC;? says Kaitlin Fasse, a Young Writers Program volunteer. Three minutes later, Puss in Boots and the knight noticed a trail of
gold leading into the clouds and they started walking into the clouds following this trail of gold. They walked and walked and finally they came to a fork, and they went different ways to make sure they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose the trail. But the trails both ended on the opposite sides of a tower. The entrances were blocked by two dragons! Fasse, a UCSC Literature grad and volunteer in Jody Lustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th grade classroom at Gault Elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the other Young Writers Program pilot classâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was disappointed in her public high school education, and believes programs like Santa Cruz Writes can help turn things around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have recognized that one of the problems plaguing the public school system is the focus on regurgitation of information for testing rather than critical analysis and a deeper comprehension of the material. This focus leaves our students ill-prepared for high school, college and life in general,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids have great stories to tell, and it is our job to encourage them to learn how to express themselves.â&#x20AC;? Santa Cruz County Department of Education Superintendent Michael
13
Watkins says the issue is even more pressing with the looming implementation of new California Common Core standards beginning in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think writing has been over the course of the past decade a bit shortchanged. As we moved toward the Common Core new assessments, an extensive portion of the testing will be based on the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to write critically and express their thoughts,â&#x20AC;? he says. The Santa Cruz Department of Education has provided $25,000 in seed money for the first year of the Young Writers Program, which was launched in Februrary. Watkins says he hopes the DOE can provide more in coming years. Chiapella, for her part, hopes they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This thing is going to take off. This thing is gonna go,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we get our first publication out, and then our second in June, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be magic. People are going to see what the kids are producing and drawing,â&#x20AC;? she says. The knight threw his magic sword at one of the dragons. The dragon disappeared! Puss in Boots took off his boots and threw them at the dragon. That dragon disappeared also!
Santa Cruz Writes already publishes the local literary magazine phren-Z, and with guidance from 826 Valencia co-founder Ninive Calegari, and help from 826â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designer Justin Carder, Chiapella plans to produce a publication of student work for each classroom that participates in the Young Writers Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big lovely juicy thing about this program is that these projects in teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classrooms all wind up as published pieces of work in high-end publications,â&#x20AC;? says Chiapella. The magazines will be available on Santa Cruz Writesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website, in the classrooms and potentially at local outlets such as Bookshop Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These projects are going to sizzle and spark, and the kids are going to get excited about them,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearts and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds are in a position to comment on the world in a much different way than adults are. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a freshness and a naivetĂŠ thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful. They can see things that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Oh, and in case you were wondering, the knight and Puss in Boots get the gold.

GARMANY: Yeah [chuckles]. So that should explain a little about the transition. We were all really into reggae back then. I love music too much to be content with one genre though. I still love reggae because of how different it is from all other pop genres. I listen to a variety of music though, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the inspiration for a lot of my writing. Naturally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come out different all the time. I think Consequence just steps up the level of an eclectic sound, like every album has along the way. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot less reggae. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dropping that sound. Who knows, the next album could be heavily reggae influenced, too. I get bored with genres pretty quickly so I try to change it up a lot.
TRUTH AND â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CONSEQUENCEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; On their latest album, the Holdup have diversified their reggae-rock sound.
Halloween Holdup San Jose rockers play Catalystâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Costume Ball BY GEOFFREY DUNN & TESS DUNN
F
ormed in 2008 around a group of friends from San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mike Garmany (lead vocals/guitar), Danny Flores (percussion), Kyle Christensen (bass) and Clev Stiles (DJ)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Holdup quickly developed an ardent fan base throughout the greater Bay Area and forged a unique sound that bears traces of hip-hop, reggae and pop influences. Their first album, Stay Gold (2009), released by Dub Rock Records, debuted at No. 34 on the iTunes Reggae Charts. They have followed up with three more albumsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Confidence (2010), Still Gold (2011), and, most recently, the dynamic Consequence (2012)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and enjoy a growing popularity throughout
Northern California that threatens to spread nationally. The Holdup will play the Catalystâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween Costume Ball with Collie Buddz & New Kingston and Los Rakas this Saturday, Oct. 27. It took a while, but eventually we tracked down band members Garmany and Stiles in the bowels of Silicon Valley. SCW: How has growing up in San Jose influenced your music? GARMANY: To be honest, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it has. Are you saying Silicon Valley is a cultural vacuum? GARMANY [laughter]: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the one to say it if no one hasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the San Jose music scene has been dead since before I was
even playing an instrument. We love our city. Always will. But I think that of all the things that influenced us is the fact that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t draw from the local culture. We drew from anything we heard, from anywhere else. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why our sound is so eclectic. Your first album, AbOg 5]ZR, was more reggae-based. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed that with each album the music becomes more diverse. How is 1]\aS_cS\QS different musically from your past three albums? GARMANY: Well, I was 16 when I started the writing for Stay Gold. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 22 now. Ancient â&#x20AC;Ś
How do you decide when and where to tour? STILES: Touring has always been a touchy subject. We have a unique plan that goes against the standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tour Anywhere and Everywhereâ&#x20AC;? approach. Our goal and priority has always been recording and releasing music to keep the fans happy. We focus on building audiences in cities before we book themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like Santa Cruz this week. What do you hope to achieve with 1]\aS_cS\QS? GARMANY: With Consequence, I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hope to achieve anything other than the fans approval and some iTunes checks. Big checks, huh? GARMANY: [laughter] It was kind of the wrap-up to a four-album-long, very personal documentation of my life. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really ready to move onto a more lighthearted side of myself. I hear fans say that Consequence was too dark and depressing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably right. Some of it was. We can get into â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark and depressing.â&#x20AC;? GARMANY: We all go through these emotions, what can I say? The Holdup The Catalyst, Oct. 27

CHINA CATS & SLUGS â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ROSES According to a recent Google search, there are over 400 Grateful Dead cover bands on the globe and at least two websites dedicated solely to tracking them. As the hub of the Grateful Dead archive and all-around hippie vibes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that Santa Cruz has two pretty good ones. China Cats do more than play the music, embodying the spirit of the Dead and capturing the essence of the eternal jam sesh. The Cats team up with the high energy psychedelic Slugs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses for a Grateful Halloween Extravaganza complete with a costume contest with a $100 prize at stake.

NICKI BLUHM & THE GRAMBLERS
HUNTER VALENTINE
BROTHER ALI
A fresh and welcome addition to the Bay Area music scene, Nicki Bluhm is a throwback to the days when California country and Memphis soul reigned supreme. She has a strong and smoky voice that elicits comparisons to Linda Ronstadt and Dusty Springfield and a timelessness to her style and delivery that make her seem like a visitor from another era. The Gramblers, featuring Bluhmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips, are a tight and polished outfit that can rock and roll like a freight train, groove with the best of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em and take a slow jam nice and easy. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $15 adv/$17 door; 8pm. (Cat Johnson)
A rock and roll outfit with a fiery predilection and heaps of swagger, Hunter Valentine has, after three albums and eight years, made its way onto the pop radar. Formed in Toronto in 2004, the all-female band balances high-octane tales of life in the fast lane with disarmingly honest ballads of love and longing. Performing 200-plus dates a year, these women have earned the affections of a loyal and growing circle of fans the hard way. The band recently had the ups, downs and dramas of life on the road documented for the television series The Real L Word. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (CJ)
Brother Ali knows everyone thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black. He is, in fact, whiter than white, a genuine albino whose condition has made him legally blind. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned the odd ironies of his career into a lifelong campaign against any dividesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;black or white, mainstream or underground. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also adept at bringing together both ends of the songwriting spectrum, dropping fiercely political raps one minute, and the next taking everything down to a brutally honest personal level in lyrics about his divorce, or living homeless with his son. By now, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably realized thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one in hip-hop quite like him. Catalyst; $14/$19; 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)
ANTSY MCCLAIN & TRAILER PARK TROUBADOURS The musical universe of Antsy McClain is one in which cowboy jazz, Tex-Mex, rock and country collide to paint an upbeat and vivid picture of life among the trailers. A self-proclaimed humorist bearing tales of tragicomic heroes and outspoken silver-haired ladies, McClain has recently expanded his repertoire to include heartfelt ballads and songs of lost love. His serious tone, however, has not skewed his positive approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our shows get you interested in living,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is too short to dwell on the negative.â&#x20AC;? This performance is being billed as a Halloween â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s dance party, so dress accordingly. Kuumbwa; $27 adv/$30 door; 8pm. (CJ)

GREAT AMERICAN TAXI
D/< 2G93 >/@9A
A fixture on the jamgrass circuit, Great American Taxi combines political, Americana songwriting with a jamband aesthetic that allows for plenty of improvisation and open interplay among the musicians. Formed by Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon fame, GAT incorporates rock, blues, bluegrass and country music into its upbeat, foot-stomping sound. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Paradise Lost, which was produced by Todd Snider, sees the band further exploring its bluegrass side with whip-smart tales of disillusion and what-could-have-beens. Joining GAT for this All Hallowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve dance party is Bay Areabased roots fusion outfit Poor Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whiskey. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $12 adv/$15 door; 8:30pm. (CJ)

at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley) NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) George Romero deserves credit (or blame, depending on your point of view) for single-handedly inventing the modern zombie film with this drive-in classic. Previously, zombie movies were basically voodoo flicks, but Night of the Living Dead introduced all of the themes and ironies that still make zombies matter as a
commentary on and satire of our own society. Plus, it has the best shock ending of any film ever. (Plays Thu at Scotts Valley) ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) Come on up to the lab, and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the slab! For some reason, a backlash against this movie became fashionable, perhaps because the intense fan adulation made it seem too insider for many. But the truth is it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whether or not you like throwing toast
and dressing up like a sweet transvestite, this mash-up of science fiction, comedy, musicals and horror is about the most fun you can have watching characters named Brad and Janet. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) SILENT HILL: REVELATION ( R; 94 min.) Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revelation: the first Silent Hill sucked. Not as bad as, say, Doom, maybe, but still. Five years later, this sequel picks up where the last one left

off, and tries to work in more of the mythology from the video game series. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9 and Green Valley) ZOMBIELAND (2009) Any movie that challenges Shaun of the Dead for funniest zom-com is worth seeing at least once or thrice. While Shaun gets the edge for smarts, this movie has Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray all peak-performing their shticks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like Shaunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, loud and slick American cousin. (Thu at Santa Cruz 9)
Reviews ALEX CROSS (PG-13; 101 min.) A serial killer (Matthew Fox) faces off in a battle of wits against police detective/ psychologist Alex Cross (Tyler Perry) in this adaptation of a James Patterson novel. ARGO (R; 120 min.) Actors play CIA agents all the time, but CIA agents playing actors? You know Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna love that. So now we have actors playing CIA agents playing actors in this new film based on an actual 1979 event (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian caper,â&#x20AC;? as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now known) in which operatives pretended to be movie-biz types making a film called Argo, in order to rescue diplomats trapped in Iran. Ben Affleck directs and stars. ATLAS SHRUGGED: PART 2 (PG-13; 112 min.) With unemployment at 24 percent and gas prices at $42 a gallon, the time has come for Dagny Taggart to save the world and prevent its motor from stopping for good. FRANKENWEENIE (PG; 87 min.) In a bit of a career slump of late, Tim Burton expands his early short about a re-animated dog (which basically got him fired from Disney) into a full-length animated feature. HERE COMES THE BOOM (PG; 105 min.) It seems like only yesterday we were all saying to ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it about time for another Kevin James movie? Where he plays some poor schlub who gets himself into a wacky situation? Pleeeease?â&#x20AC;? What? We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saying that and in fact have never said that? Well, nevertheless, here it is, with James playing a biology teacher who takes up MMA fighting to save after-school activities at his school. HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA (PG; 91 min.) Adam Sandler and Addy Samberg team up for another movie, but this time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animated and Sandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
doing the voice of Dracula, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have to see or hear him. His count runs a hotel for monsters that is stumbled upon by a human boy. Wackiness ensues. THE MASTER (R; 137 min.) Paul Thomas Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most accomplished film to date tells of the partnership between a shell-shocked Navy vet of 1950 named Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix) and a dapper, biggerthan-life fraud, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). THE PAPERBOY (R; 107 min.) Journalist Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) moves home to Florida to investigate the curious case of a death row inmate (John Cusack) with the help of his kid brother (Zac Efron). And if all goes according to plan, Jansen probably takes off his shirt. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 (R; 88 min) Those who were bummed that Paranormal Activity 3 provided no insight into what happened to Katie and Hunter (or about anything else, really) may be happy to know that the series is getting back on track, at least story-wise. Original writer-director Orin Peli has long since checked out, but the found-footage song remains the same. Five years after the events of the first two films, another family has to find an excuse to carry cameras around all the time when Katie and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robbieâ&#x20AC;? move in next door. THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER (PG13; 103 min.) I know, I know, it must be a short film. Ha ha. But apparently there are perks to be found in this story of two seniors who take an introverted freshman under their wing. SAMSARA ( PG-13; 102 min.) The director of Baraka filmed this documentary over five years in 25 countries, across five continents. Like his 1992 film, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wordless flurry of breaktaking images and music, this time a meditation on the natural world and the effect that mankind has had on it. The fact that the title is Sanskrit for â&#x20AC;&#x153;cyclic existenceâ&#x20AC;? provides a clue to the message. SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS (R; 109 min.) A struggling screenwriter (Colin Farrell) has just messed with the wrong gangster (Woody Harrelson), by stealing his fluffy Shih Tzu. SINISTER (1994) Found footage? Murder houses? Supernatural oogly-booglies who look like the guy from Slipknot? It all sounds pret-ty, pret-ty sinister.

CLOUD ATLAS (R; 172 min.) During the 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Adam is dying on a ship voyage to California and wonders if he is perhaps being poisoned by Dr. Goose (Tom Hanks) in this complex film with six different storylines. (Opens Fri at Del Mar and Scotts Valley) CHASING MAVERICKS (PG; 124 min.) In this real-life Santa Cruz tale, our own
legend Jay Moriarty (played by Jonny Weston) forms a unique friendship with Frosty Hesson (Gerard Butler) on a mission to tackle one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most daunting waves. (Opens Fri at Aptos and Scotts Valley) FUN SIZE (PG-13; 96 min) Wren just wanted to spend Halloween at a party with her crush.

And this, in turn, helps local, underserved youth (not underserved in the beer sense, btw) build confidence by learning to be actively engaged in their communities and their environment. SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAIN BREWING features a wide selection of or-
ganic, handcrafted beer and is open every day from noon to 10pm. It is located in the Swift Street Courtyard at 402 Ingalls St. on the Westside of Santa Cruz. This is the place to enjoy appealing, organic, hand-made brews in the company of excitable guys and gals, often wearing surfing gear, bike togs and lots of stuff sporting the Columbia and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill logos.
FRENCH TWIST Muriel Loubiereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Au Midi in Aptos is part of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s French cooking boom.
Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins! BY CHRISTINA WATERS BANTAM UPDATE: The sleek new pizza cafe at the corner of Ingalls and Fair avenues is just about finished. On a recent drive-by, I spotted workers swarming all over the long counters, putting finishing details on the pizzeria-in-progress owned by chef Benjamin Sims and his wife Sarah Knight. Industrial chic looks to be the interior dress code of what should prove to be a major hangout for Santa Cruz foodies, scheduled for opening around November 1. AUTUMN ARRIVES AU MIDI: A few updates for fans of Muriel Loubiereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
impeccable French cooking. Lunches at the Aptos bistro are now closed for the season, and the new hours of operation at Au Midi are Wednesday to Sunday, from 5:30-9pm. Also, every Wednesday will be Crepes Day, featuring a crepe appetizer, a crepe entree and, yes, a crepe dessert, in addition to the regular menu. But pasta has its day, too, at Au Midi. That day is Thursday, when four pasta specials will regularly join the evening menu. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as happy as we are that authentic French cooking is so abundant in our smallish region, then make reservations for Au Midi, located at 7960
Soquel Drive in Aptos. 831.685.2600. www.aumidi.com. THE LIVE EARTH FARM DISCOVERY PROGRAM will be featured
in the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing Thank You Thursday program on October 25, 2012. This is a great program, where one dollar from every beer sold on that day at the wildly popular, rambunctious beer hall goes to a designated non-profit. Work up a thirst and hoist a pint of IPA or whatever fires your rockets on that day, and the funds raised will help LEFDP provide ongoing opportunities for

This is bread that gives â&#x20AC;&#x153;glutenâ&#x20AC;? a good name. It is so fragrant youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll think you dropped into a medieval bakery just as the loaves emerged from the oven. You can scoop some up at the charming little bake/coffee shop at 2341 Mission Street, or just head for the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market early enough to score a warm, round loaf before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all gone. 831.252.2253. SPEAKING OF FARMERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MARKETS: October 30 is the final Felton Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market of the season,

lifetime of living in Portland and San Diego, I wanted the best of what they both had to offer. Santa Cruz is the perfect combination of ideal weather, pristine forests and a laid-back atmosphere. Plus, when you are looking for a location where most produce can be farmed and the community is passionate about local and organic foods, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. 6]e RWR g]c ÂľQ]]Y c^Âś g]c` TO`[S`a¸ [O`YSb ab`SSb T]]R [S\c- I liked the idea of reinterpreting famous dishes from around
the world, while using organic products that are locally sourced. Tacos, English-style pies and croques (the French-style grilled cheese) are all classic examples of global street food. Collaborating with local farms and other local businesses provides a lot of inspiration. Working with Rib King at farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets prior to starting my own business helped me to get a good idea of what menu items customers want to see. EVOb O`S bVS c\W_cS QVOZZS\USa ]T Qcab][ Q]]YW\U W\ O\ ]cbR]]` U`WZZ aWbcObW]\- The hardest part is the limited space. You
have to be very efficient, and also design your menu around a few key ingredients that can be used for multiple dishes. The weather also has a lot of influence over how popular any given farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market will be, but our cooking set-up is pretty much weatherproof! One unique benefit of cooking outdoors is that the smell of the frying bacon wafting through the fresh air attracts customers far and wide! G]c` ]cb`OUS]ca P`SOYTOaba Ob bVS AObc`ROg TO`[S`a¸ [O`YSb VOdS Z]\U eOWbW\U ZW\Sa EVOb Wa bVS []ab ^]^cZO` Q][PW\ObW]\- The bacon breakfast taco is our most popular Saturday
market item. With regards to our English-style pies, which we sell at the downtown and Scotts Valley farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, the most popular item is the pulled pork pie with apple barbecue sauce. BVWa abgZS ]T _cWQY O\R Q`SObWdS Q]]YW\U Z]]Ya ZWYS Tc\ 7a Wb- It is exhausting, but fun! The interaction and the personal connection you form with customers is something that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get working in a kitchen, and getting to hear positive feedback from our repeat customers is hands down the most rewarding aspect of the job.
