DIY Dining Re: “Bottom Line of Local Restaurants� (Letters, Jan. 23): I agree that Santa Cruz lacks the 324-day-a-year transitory high-end tourist industry that supports the plethora of gourmet restaurants in Napa or Paso Robles. We also don’t have the millions of affluent time-crunched upper middle class workers of SF or [Silicon] Valley. But I disagree that the sufferings of local restaurants are because we are all “bottom feeders� who can’t or won’t spend money. The fact is that many of us are “lifestyle-ists� who choose to live in Cruz for the nature, the slower pace and the abundant organic farming; and quite frankly, we can cook. There is a farmers market almost every day of the week, and multiple great commercial market choices that are actually more expensive than most of what you find over the hill (if you can find it). We put our money where our mouth is when it comes to

paying for quality and supporting growers, and we know what to do with the product. CHARLEY LOCHTEFELD Santa Cruz

‘Cradle’ Robbing It made me smile seeing Kurt Vonnegut’s “granfaloon� referenced in your “Hair Ye, Hair Ye� brief (Jan. 23) simply as “the term meaning...� Kurt left us several years ago and perhaps it’s a nice homage that his created words can carry on with no mention of him. But couldn’t the layout person have landed the brief article about the whimsical beard and mustache organization on the page opposite the photo of food activist Sandor Katz on page 20? I thought you newsprint people lived for that kind of fun. RICH APPLE Santa Cruz

Whimsical? Fun? These words are foreign to us, Rich Apple. With ‘granfaloon’ now in common usage, it seemed perhaps a little pedantic on our part to credit Vonnegut’s ‘Cat’s Cradle.’ However, we know what you mean about Sandor’s facial hair. Absolutely mesmerizing. — Editor

Deeper Problem Re: “Tap Secretâ€? (Cover, Jan. 23): Even exposĂŠs of huge companies’ use of well water and/or tap water for their supposedly “purerâ€? bottled water do not address even more egregious matters—namely the extraordinary waste of resources for extracting petroleum from the earth and making it into plastic, the manufacturing of plastic bottles, the transportation of massive quantities of said bottles to water sources, the transportation of massive amounts of plastic bottle to consumers near and far—and, of course, the sickening waste of said water when consumers do not finish drinking it. Does anyone remember that, “progressâ€? or not, the bottled-water industry did not exist in this nation in such massive presence until around the late 1980s? Think about it. JOHN ANDERSON San Jose

Twice Chai Re: “The Crash of the Flying Cigar� (Cover, Jan. 16): Thanks for this great article, Steve! India Joze was making waves here since the 1970s (sans restaurant from 2002-2010). And two national chai companies began in SC in the 70’s, using variations of Joze fresh-ground chai concentrate. Those companies have fallen by the wayside, in the past few years, but Joze still offers his incredible chai concentrate—for a song! GRANT WILSON Santa Cruz

INFLAMED PASSION Naturopathic doctor AimĂŠe Shunney is on a mission to help those suffering from chronic inflammation.

Back to Basics Santa Cruz’s AimÊe Shunney stresses fundamentals to fight chronic inflammation BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

C

hronic inflammation is strongly correlated with a myriad of health problems, from allergies and depression to the three main killers in Western society: cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It may sound overwhelming, but according to licensed naturopathic doctor AimÊe Shunney, there’s a lot we can do about the chronic inflammation problem. Not to be confused with acute inflammation—which Shunney explains is the cornerstone of our immune system, our body’s natural chemical reaction to stress, pathogens, broken legs and other physical casualties—chronic inflammation is the prolonged elevation of those chemicals.

“All these inflammatory chemicals are rushing to the area to help minimize damage and help us get better faster,� explains Shunney, sipping a cup of tea in her office at Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine on East Cliff. “What we’ve learned is that certain things cause those inflammatory chemicals to stay elevated long term.� Obesity, chronic lack of sleep and stress are three big triggers. Smoking, eating too much refined sugar and flour, and caffeine are others. And interestingly, negative feelings of hostility, anger and shame are also being shown to cause prolonged elevation of inflammatory chemicals. The problem is that the symptoms are often hidden. “So it’s almost like an epidemic in

that sense,� Shunney says. “I would argue that anybody living a highstress life, anybody who has got any extra weight on them, right there, there’s chronic inflammation. I would imagine that it’s very difficult for most of us to escape it, it’s just a matter of degree,� says Shunney. And this may be the hardest reality: visceral fat—that stubborn kind Americans commonly have cushioning their abdomens—is actually considered to be its own endocrine organ, and secretes its own inflammatory chemicals and hormones, says Shunney. It’s the vicious cycle that works against you when you’re trying to lose weight. So what can we do about it? The answer is two-part, and you might

already have heard it before: One, exercise—this not only secretes endorphins and other antiinflammatory chemicals into the body, it also attacks that evil visceral fat. And two, “Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said ‘Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food,’â€? says Shunney. “It’s overused, and it’s very elegant in its simplicity, and it’s true.â€? Eating a broad spectrum of fruits and vegetables, and reducing animal meat—especially red meat, which has more pro-inflammatory chemicals in it—is the easiest way to describe the anti-inflammatory diet. But it’s a lot more colorful than that. “Fruits and vegetables contain all of the vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients, antioxidants, all of the things that have anti-inflammatory effects in the body,â€? says Shunney. “And sadly, you just don’t get that stuff from a steak.â€? Other anti-inflammatory foods include: ginger, rosemary, garlic, onions and spices like turmeric and mustard seed. Of all animal proteins, fish contains the highest amount of the anti-inflammatory omega 3 proteins, and it’s also the best source for long chain essential omega 3’s, the easiest kind for our bodies to utilize. Shunney also recommends cutting out refined flours and replacing them with whole grains that do not contain gluten, like rice, quinoa, millet and amaranth. When you’re eating the same seven things everyday, you’re not really doing your body justice. If it sounds like basic nutrition, well, it is. “I think one of the biggest travesties of modern medicine is that nutrition has somehow become alternative medicine,â€? says Shunney, Dr. AimĂŠe Shunney, ND, specializes in nutrition, women’s health, hormone balancing and family medicine. She sees patients at Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine and also conducts the three-week Cleanse Organic with chef Jennifer Brewer.0

Currents SHARP END Discarded needles at Street Outreach Supporters’ storage facility in Santa Cruz. After collecting them, the group delivers them to County Health Services for disposal.

Make the Call Will a new overdose law save lives or create drug-law loopholes? BY MAT WEIR Editor’s Note: This is part one of a SCW look at major shifts in the way drug use is being approached as a public health problem in Santa Cruz. Part two runs next week. At the beginning of the year, a potentially powerful piece of California legislation quietly took effect, with only minimal media attention. Assembly Bill 472, better known as the “911 Good Samaritan Law,� attempts to save lives by offering protection from criminal prosecution to those under the influence of a narcotic if they are overdosing or witnessing an overdose, and need to call for medical help. “We’re hopeful the new law will encourage people to relay more accurate facts and information to the [EMTs],� explains Brenda Brenner, the Director

of Operations for the American Medical Response in Santa Cruz County. “We’re hoping it will help them avoid giving false information that could jeopardize a patient’s life.� Most Americans don’t know they are in the middle of an overdose epidemic. According to 2011 data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, controlled substance overdoses are now the number one cause of accidental death in the country, surpassing both traffic and gun-related fatalities. It is the number one accidental killer of Californians, and the state has the greatest number of overdoses in the country. “Fatal overdoses are mostly opiate related,� explains Hilary McQuie, the California Director for the Harm

Reduction Coalition. Besides illicit drugs like heroin, this includes prescription pills (whether obtained legally or illegally), which are the top killer. According to the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs’ last study, conducted between 2002 and 2006, the number of drugrelated deaths in Santa Cruz more than doubled in that time. Many national studies have shown that the top reason people hesitate to call emergency vehicles is fear of arrest. “It’s been known for a long time in the drug using community, there is a danger of suffering prosecution if you call 911 for an overdose,� says Emily Agers. For over a decade Agers has worked with harm reduction organizations that deal head-on with issues like overdosing.

Currently, she volunteers with the Street Outreach Supporters (SOS), a local, nonprofit organization that provides harm reduction services such as HIV testing, syringe exchange and training on what to do in case of an overdose. Last week, SOS was ordered to give up its site at a laundromat on Barson and Bixby in Lower Ocean, where there has been a needle exchange for over two decades in one form or another. California is the 10th state to have passed such legislation (done with bipartisan support), after Rhode Island, New York, New Mexico, Colorado, Illinois, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Florida and Washington. And it seems to be working. By the law’s first birthday, the Washington ACLU published a report showing 88% of opiate users surveyed would call emergency response in the case of an overdose. New York’s law made national headlines last November when musician Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter overdosed in her college dorm and was later arrested after recovery. The chargers were later dropped because of the law. But the legislation has its share of skeptics. “The legislature has continued to find ways to enable dysfunctional behavior,� declares Santa Cruz Police Department Deputy Chief, Steve Clark. “I understand wanting to encourage ways for people to call 911 and not let individuals suffer, but to further enable it by saying ‘Hey, it’s okay if you have some drugs or paraphernalia?’� The new law does come with several restrictions. It provides protection only for the crimes “of being under the influence of a controlled substance, or for the possession of a controlled substance for personal use . . . or paraphernalia.� However, the definition of “personal use� remains ambiguous. “We haven’t seen anything from the Attorney General’s office that brings some clarification on the issue,� says Clark. With such subjective phrasing, it seems very possible the courts will still be tied up with overdose-related drug cases. 0

Animal Magnetism Crimes of passion, bizarre mating rituals, forbidden love—it’s all here in Santa Cruz. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we take a look at just how strange local romance can get BY GEORGIA PERRY

CHIVALRY IS NOT DEAD BE STILL MY BLEATING HEART Sometimes Santa Cruz animal lovers like a little shag.

In early January, a man scared off a burglar who broke into his girlfriend’s apartment with a samurai sword. For her part, the woman grabbed a road flare from her bedside table—you know, because baseball bats and cans of mace are so two-thousandlate. When going through the couple’s kitchen drawer, police uncovered a Civil War-era rifle, a black mamba snake and an atom bomb.

PANTY GRABBIN’ In another January crime, a teenage boy was caught stealing panties from a woman’s house on Pearl Street. He was later found by

police in a vacant apartment, in possession of panties from several other women. While sexy lingerie is a common Valentine’s Day gift, there are only so many ways you can please a girlfriend who won’t be satisfied with anything short of “a mountain of soiled panties from every woman on this block, so help me God.�

MAA SO HORNY Last February, the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter celebrated V-Day with its first annual story contest. Animal lovers were invited to submit stories about the dear animals that have touched their hearts. The winner, JP Novic, penned “Nellie: Vixen with Horns�

about a “naughty goat.� Turns out that “naughty is putting it lightly. This old gal with the spiked horns that are like daggers, loves to stab you in the butt if she doesn’t get her way,� reads the story.

YOU CAN FIND ME IN THE COUNTY BUILDING, BOTTLE FULL OF BUB The County Clerk’s office will transform itself this Valentine’s Day into a “romantic wedding room,� promising to “ensure a magical and memorable ceremony� complete with roses, cupcakes and sparkling apple cider. Official ceremonies will be provided for a hundred 13

LOVER, NOT A FIGHTER

A MATTER OF DEGREES Is this book one of the best things to ever come out of UCSC? bucks a pop and broadcast on the county’s website through its official “WedCam.� Official notice from the County Clerk: Do not be late for your special day. If you are late, you will have to reschedule for another day. Do not invite more than 15 people. That is all. Love is in the air!

SLUG LOVE On Saturday, Feb. 16, Big Basin Redwoods State Park will lead a walk called “Romance in the Redwoods,� which will teach walkers about the courtship behaviors of plants and animals in the park, including banana slugs and redwood trees. Some behaviors, as we all know, are surprisingly similar to humans. For example, mountain lions are notorious for drunk texting their ex’s.

Late last month on a Saturday afternoon, a drunk man was challenging random passersby to fight along West Cliff Ave. When someone finally took him up on it, he surprised everyone by instead dropping his pants and sticking his finger where the sun doesn’t shine. He was also in possession of a pair of brass knuckles. What did he plan to use them for? Police interfered before anyone could find out.

WHAT I DID FOR LOVE In June, an inmate escaped from the Santa Cruz County Jail for the first time in nearly a decade. While being booked, Craig Souza, who has been in the jail a total of 23 times, said he was worried about the toll his frequent stints behind bars were taking on his marriage and said he escaped because he wanted to see his wife again. “I want everyone to know that I did it for love,� he told KSBW.

LIKE BONNIE AND CLYDE, KINDA Two couples were caught trying to spice things up by breaking the law, and not in the “tee hee, we just had sex on a public beach� kind of way. In July, a couple opened several unauthorized credit cards in another person’s name, and bought computers from the Santa Cruz Best Buy store. Then in January, a man and woman went on a bikestealing rampage, breaking windows and hearts at two cycle shops along Mission Street and stealing $5,000 worth of merchandise.

HI HONEY, I’M HOME! Craig Souza’s classic jailbreak defense: ‘I did it for love.’

Pillow Talk What do you think of Valentine’s Day?

What’s the best date you’ve ever been on?

“I call it VD, owing to the great things that can come from Valentine’s Day. But the forced romanticism of the day takes the romance out of it and makes it a lot less special than it’s supposed to be.�

“My boyfriend and I like to go out hiking a lot. It’s been numerous dates really. But just being outdoors, going out and sleeping on the beach. Going up into the mountains. I was actually in Spain at the time. It was pretty memorable. Catching seafood and cooking that up.�

—Chesney Tyerna, bakery distributor/ pastry fetcher, Santa Cruz “It’s one of my favorite holidays because it’s an excuse to say hello to someone you might not otherwise say hello to.�

— Sydney Nieminen, plant and flower sales, Santa Cruz What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?

“When I realized if I don’t buy that candy for myself I probably wasn’t gonna get it. It’s a day for me. I haven’t bought Valentine’s Day candy in a while for a young lady because I’ve always gotten it wrong.�

“I took this girl to the city and took bicycles [down] the Embarcadero and went and got crab sandwiches and ended up going to a baseball game. The only problem was I picked her up and she was so hungover from the night before that I had to keep feeding her booze all day so that she wouldn’t get a worse hangover— I’m not a big drinker. ... And the chain kept falling off, so I was barging down the Embarcadero one-handed bicycleriding and I’m covered in grease by the end of the day.�

—Stephen Nelson, homeless shelter supervisor, Santa Cruz

— Al Marks, superhero/bartender, Santa Cruz

What was your worst Valentine’s Day?

“Any date when I’ve had a fainting spell. The room was too hot. I was at a SinĂŠad O’Connor show. It was so hot and full of people, I closed my eyes and landed on the floor. My date didn’t like that. The gals want you to stand up through the entire date.â€?

— Zane Griffin, owner of Santa Cruz Local Foods, Santa Cruz What’s your favorite Valentine’s Day memory?

“He totally forgot Valentine’s Day. He came home with daisies—you know you’re supposed to come home with roses. And they were old. It was stupid. We didn’t last very long.�

OPENING BAND Alt-country trio the Dahls kick off the monthly Clu b Kuumbwa series Friday.

Come See U Us or We We ll Deliver! De eliver!

Going Underground Kuumbwa broadens its appeal with new club night BY AARON CARNES

T

he Kuumbwa Jazz Center is the kind of space artists dream about playing. It’s classy and intimate, with top-notch sound and lighting. But if your band can’t draw 200 people at $25 a ticket, chances are pretty slim Kuumbwa has booked you. This is changing, however, with a new monthly series called “Club Kuumbwa” that specifically aims to bring in smaller local and indie bands. “I just want to make it available to a lot of the bands that haven’t had that opportunity, and to be able to present their music in a form that’s different than the usual bar gig. We’re going to be able to give bands the tools that they need to present their music the way that they want to present it,” says Bennett Jackson, who is the social media coordinator at Kuumbwa Jazz Center, and is booking the Club Kuumbwa monthly series. The first band scheduled to play Club Kuumbwa will be the LA-based folk/alternative country trio the Dahls on Friday, Feb. 8. Other shows already booked include jazz group Nikki Mokover Band (featuring Tobin Chodos) on March 29, a double bill of chamber-pop artists including local Kendra McKinley and East Bay’s

Foxtails Brigade on April 20, and local retro-soul group the Inciters, who take the stage on June 1. As these dates make clear, the monthly shows won’t be on any one set date. It’ll all depend on which date in the month fits best with the club’s and the artists’ schedules. Artists playing the Club Kuumbwa series will get the whole evening to themselves, or if they choose, they can bring one other band and split the set times. Unlike the standard Kuumbwa shows, the Club Kuumbwa shows will have a majority of the seating removed in order for it to have a more casual atmosphere, as well as having cheaper tickets and plenty of drink specials. The Dahls show, for instance, will be only $5, and will offer $2 Budweiser Long Necks all night long. Contact Jackson at bennettjacksonmusic@gmail.com if you are interested in playing Club Kuumbwa.

THE PURPLE ONES

AHA BEAT

Local Santa Cruz favorites Shady Groove incorporate a variety of American sounds to deliver some groovy, for lack of a better word, party music that keeps the body moving and hands clapping. The group’s ability to blend the clean melody of blues with the dynamic experience of jazz keeps their long sets invigorating and their audience hooked. All those good vibes attract musicians from the bands whose songs they perform, such as Melvin Seals of The Jerry Garcia Band and Vince Welnick of the Grateful Dead, to accompany the group onstage for a night of joyous collaboration. Moe’s Alley; $10 adv/$12 door; 8:30pm. (Melanie Ware)

If you have ever wanted to hear Prince perform “Purple Rain� or admire his eccentric performances, then feast your ears and eyes on the 10-piece tribute band, The Purple Ones. Backed by horns, guitars, keyboards and drums, the uncanny vocals of Kazam Ali and Pamela Fields merge to recreate the king of pop’s greatest hits. Though the group formed in the Bay Area less than a year ago, they have already successfully channeled his Minneapolis Sound of well balanced rock, pop and R&B. Don Quixote’s; $12; 8pm. (MW)

Bringing to mind Jack Johnson, Michael Franti and the like, Aha Beat makes what the band refers to as “music for the masses.� Formed in the fall of 2012, this local roots-rocking seven-piece combines reggae, rock, hip-hop and folk music to create a sound that has a sunny day, feel-good sway about it. With a focus on humanity, equality, consciousness and the groove, Aha Beat carries a message of global unity and hope. Also on the bill are the Beekeepers and the Shapes. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm.

DELTA RAE & ZZ WARD Americana music is a big tent, and the down-home North Carolina caucus is not known to mix all that well with the bohemian West Coast contingent. And yet, Durham’s six-piece Delta Rae has found a soulmate in Portland/L.A. singer-songwriter ZZ Ward. Their sounds are very different, with Delta Rae infusing their folk-rock with gospel and bluegrass, while Ward remains a blueswoman through and through. But they’ve both energized their music with a brilliant modern streak—just listen to the almost hip-hop percussion on Delta Rae’s “Bottom of the River,� or the neo-soul shimmer of Ward’s “Put the Gun Down.� They’re rightly coheading this Fire and Shine tour.

After 11 albums in the last 20 years and an almost annual nomination for Best Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year, Sista Monica Parker continues to roar soulful tunes that only a powerful diva could. Praised internationally for her bold and clean sound, “The Lioness of the Blues� has performed alongside the legendary kings and queens of blues and soul, including Ray Charles, Etta James and Al Green. As if that doesn’t speak for itself, Melanie Moore— the winning contestant on season eight of “So You Think You Can Dance?�—owes her victory to the singer as she won performing Parker’s song “Show Me What You’re Working With.� Kuumbwa; 20 adv/$23 door; 7pm & 9pm.

New IDENTITY THIEF (R; 117 min.) Bridesmaids’ breakout star Melissa McCarthy gets her own comic showcase playing a woman who steals Jason Bateman’s identity (made possible because his character’s name is “Sandy,â€? see? Er‌). Seth Gordon, who made his debut with the I-can’t-believe-this-mademe-care-about-video-games documentary The King of

Kong, directs. (Opens Fri at Green Valley, Cinema 9, Scotts Valley and 41st Ave) OSCAR SHORTS (NR) The Nick is presenting both the animated and live-action shorts nominated for an Academy Award this year.

(Opens Fri at the Nick) PINEAPPLE EXPRESS (2008) Disappointing stoner comedy from director David Gordon Green and co-writer/ star Seth Rogan suffers from Rogan’s worst performance, and the creative team’s relentless attempts to pile too much plot into the action (and way too much action into the plot). James Franco is hilarious as Rogan’s drug dealer, though, offering a

glimpse of what this could have been. (“Pandora can’t go back into the box—he only comes out.�) On the other hand, things would get much, much worse with Green’s next film, the epic stoner-flick fail Your Highness. (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar) SIDE EFFECTS (R; 111 min.) For what he claims is his last feature film ever, director Steven Soderbergh combines bits from his last

three movies: the social message of Contagion, the suspense (theoretically) of Haywire and the Channing Tatum of Magic Mike. This thriller has Rooney Mara caught up her own personal Big Pharma conspiracy, as her life with hubby Tatum is turned upside down after suspicious psychiatrist Jude Law prescribes her medication for her anxiety. (Opens Fri at Del Mar, Aptos, Green Valley, Scotts Valley and 41st Ave)

Reviews AMOUR (PG-13; 135 min.) Acclaimed French drama from writer-director Michael Haneke explores the nature and challenges of love in this story of a couple in their 80s that won the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, and is nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. ARGO (R; 120 min.) Actors play CIA agents all the time, but CIA agents playing actors? You know Hollywood’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 “Canadian caper,� as it’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. BULLET TO THE HEAD (R; 91 min.) As if beamed to 2013 via time machine, this action movie not only stars Slyvester Stallone and Christian Slater, it was directed by Walter Hill (48 Hrs.), and has a Foreigner song in the trailer! Also like an ’80s action movie, the plot is about stuff that blows up, and the people who make it blow up. BROKEN CITY (R; 115 min.) Mark Wahlberg plays an ex-cop named Billy Taggart (duh!) out for revenge after he’s doublecrossed and framed by Russell Crowe as a corrupt mayor. Just picture the exciting final confrontation: “Hi mayor, you’re the mayor! How’s that working out for you? Say hi to your mother for me!� HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS (R: 88 min.) Thankfully not from the people who brought you Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, this action updating of the fairy tale characters is from writer/director Tommy Wirkola, who did the fantastic Norwegian zom-com Dead Snow. Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton play the Grimm siblings after they’ve grown up and taken up a crusade against black magic. A HAUNTED HOUSE (R; 95 min.) Co-writer and star Marlon Wayans is a long way from the glory days of the first, ingenious Scary Movie (a franchise which, despite never having had a watchable sequel, is also returning this year). Apparently, he couldn’t even get his brothers on board for this similarly themed parody of current horror films (mainly Paranormal Activity). If Keenen and Shawn are okay with the atrocious Dance Flick, but not

this‌that’s just scary. (SP) MAMA (PG-13; 106 min.) Super-creepy-looking horror flick from director Andres Muschetti (with a stamp of approval from producer Guillermo de Toro) tells the story of a young couple charged with raises two girls who were left alone in the woods for five years. MOVIE 43 (R; 90 min.) When a comedy tries to sell itself entirely on how gross and over-the-top its humor is, you can usually bet there’s not much else there. And indeed, this longtime project of Peter Farrelly, featuring a hodgepodge of tasteless skits, is painfully unfunny. Ironically, it’s almost easier to appreciate the movie’s bottom-scraping joke attempts intellectually than it is to laugh at them. As in, “Ah, I see the joke is that Hugh Jackman has a pair of testicles on his chin, thus making Halle Berry uncomfortable on their blind date. What a wacky idea! Maybe they can do something funny with it‌nope.â€? The allstar wasted cast also includes Kate Winslet, Dennis Quaid, Richard Gere, Elizabeth Banks, Uma Thurman, Kristen Bell, Gerard Butler, Terence Howard and Stephen Merchant. PARKER (R; 118 min) There’s more or less an entire alternative economy powered by Jason Statham movies in which he plays an honorable bad guy who gets doublecrossed and turns on the other bad guys. This is the latest entry, in which he plays a thief left for dead by his former crew who plots his revenge. STAND UP GUYS (R; 94 min.) While the idea of senior-citizen bad guys getting together for one last job is far from original—The Crew, Tough Guys, etc.—none of those movies had both Al Pacino and Christopher Walken in them (plus a bonus Alan Arkin!). Between this and giving up the Ricky Roma role to play Shelley Levine in the Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross, Pacino seems to be finally taking old age gracefully. WARM BODIES (PG-13; 105 min.) Another addition to the budding zom-com genre has a zombie falling for stillalive Julie (Teresa Palmer). Clearly infused with more heart (a beating one) than the generally rather cynical films in this vein, it also attempts to unite the “fastâ€? and “slowâ€? camps of zombie fans by having both.

FROM CORKAGE TO ZORKAGE The Zork Cork is the latest way to cap off a bottle of wine.

A New Twist on Closure BY CHRISTINA WATERS

W

e discovered a bottle of delightful Sauvignon Blanc 2010 from a Sonoma estate named for an old adobe, Leese-Fitch. We found the wine itself light, crisp, lemon grassy and utterly easy to drink. The $10 price tag didn’t hurt, either. But what was most intriguing about this bottle of wine was its closure. Not a cork, nor the infamous Stelvin screw cap. It was something much, much different. There was a hard plastic seal that spiraled around the top of the bottle. I pried open

the end of the spiral and began unwinding it, thinking it would expose a cork. But no, what it exposed was a plastic plug that I pulled out easily. Incredibly simple! Just unwind—or unpeel, if you will—the outer closure, then pull out the plug. No corkscrew required. The wine needed no extra breathing time to be open and accessible. Turns out this baby is called a Zork Cork, sort of a combination of screw cap and cork. It was invented in Australia, and is one of the new methods being explored by vintners

anxious for viable alternatives to the endangered and issue-plagued cork. As cork wine closures dry, they can shrink to the point where too much air is admitted into the liquid and the wine is ruined, or “corked.� And let’s face it, some wine snobs avoid the Stelvin closure because they can’t bear the connotations of a screw-top bottle of alcohol. Whatever. Well, this Zork Cork thingie is very cool. Let’s see if others adopt what is apparently the hot new thing in antipodean winemaking.

BOLD AS BRASSICA: If you haven’t yet pampered yourself with an outdoor dinner spread on a long table overlooking bio-dynamically farmed raised beds—and the Monterey Bay beyond—then you are in for a treat. Love Apple Farm is not only the exclusive “kitchen gardenâ€? for Manresa, it is also a stunning laboratory for a huge array of workshops, demonstrations and dinners devoted to the freshest and most flavorful seasonal produce. “Celebrate Brassicaâ€? kicks off the new Love Apple Farm Dinner Series on March 2, where from 2-6pm ($125 per person includes wine, tax and gratuity) you’ll celebrate the versatile members of the Brassica family. Brassica is a genus of the Cruciferae family that includes cabbage, turnips, Brussels sprouts and mustard. Now you know. Created by Chef Breanna Greene, the dinner begins with a cauliflower soup and garlic parsley pesto, followed by a first course of broccoli, potato, beet and carrot salad with soft cooked egg and arugula. Next Brussels sprouts with butternet squash, dried cranberries and Tuscan kale. The third entree will feature braised ox tail with polenta, mustard greens and triple crème cheese. Dessert of rhubarb cobbler should add the exact piquant note to this highly intriguing menu. Make reservations fast.
