No Alternative Re: “Wrong Approach� (Letters, March 20): Let’s get real about solutions to the City of Santa Cruz (City) and Soquel Creek Water District’s (SqCWD) water supply problems. Misinformation being published alleges SqCWD has a viable alternative to the proposed desalination project. That socalled alternative is in fact mandatory reduction of at least 35% year-round for 20 years. This draconian concept would have severe adverse impacts on the quality of life and local economy. The point SqCWD made by adopting the policy to pursue 35% mandatory rationing in the absence of the proposed desalination project is that there is no “Plan B� that solves the groundwater crisis. The city has been criticized for not having a “Plan B.� The truth is that they share the same dilemma. There are no other viable options— individually or in combination—that solve the water shortage. Added to drought shortages are new fisheries regulations that will significantly restrict the city’s use of streams it depends on. Bottom line: Both the city and SqCWD

conducted thorough and responsible due diligence on the water issue. Desalination is the only environmentally, socially and economically responsible solution. If you support a realistic approach to solving our water needs, please join the Sustainable Water Coalition (www.sustainablewatersantacruz.org).

Safely Weird? Re: “Postcards From the Edge� (Currents, March 26): Speaking as a born and raised—and young for that matter—local, I can’t overstate how proud I am to see our community honoring recently fallen citizens. The overriding message on marquees, storefronts and impromptu memorials is indicative of a strong, resilient community turning grievance into tangible changes.

I will say I’ve perceived an undercurrent of apprehension at the mention of “overhauling� our approach to crime and “shifting� the paradigm. People seem to confuse this with changing Santa Cruz’s culture... Let’s put some dissonance to rest: Santa Cruz is unique because its cultural reach is disproportionate to its size. We are welcoming, accepting, artistic, athletic, educational and altogether unmatched in manifold ways. A little eclecticism is a welcome part of the package. The tinge of funkiness is something I hold dear. Violence, vagrancy and drug abuse, however, have not and should never define Santa Cruz. Our tolerance is not indiscriminate. Let’s stay weirdpeacefully. B.J. COPE Santa Cruz

Be the Dog Let me steal from the Tom Petty song for a moment, and ask people to “stop draggin’ your dog around.� Stop dragging your dog behind bicycles, skateboards, roller blades and your own fleet feet. Asphalt is unforgiving; if that’s the way you get your cardio workout in, wonderful. But don’t try to kill two birds with one stone by subjecting your companion to a joyless romp through a harsh landscape. A dog’s nature, lest we forget, is to engage with and relish the million bits of information he encounters in his environment—and to do so on doggy time, not on human beat-the-clock time. Remember the old Zen koan: Does a dog have Buddha nature? Heck, dogs are the damn Buddha incarnate! They’re awake! And they like to get their playtime in natural settings conducive to contemplation. For all we know, maybe sniffing another dog’s butt and rolling in the grass are paths to enlightenment. So unless your dog actually enjoys getting tethered and towed around like a water skier on pavement [just] take him to the park or the beach. Then just sit back and “be the dog.� It’s really quite instructive. TIM RUDOLPH Santa Cruz

ANCIENT SPRING CLEANING Jen Casey is a feng shui consultant who specializes in green living.

Unblock Party Is feng shui science, or just good design? BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

I

had barely finished plucking wayward clothing items, shoes and books off my floor and jamming them into my closet when Jen Casey arrived on my doorstep. A certified feng shui consultant who specializes in green living, Casey had come to assess my tiny studio apartment and garden, from a feng shui perspective. I’ll be honest, this all started when a friend told me that they had “feng shui’d� their apartment, built something called a “wealth corner,� and in a matter of months, been rewarded with booming business. But this isn’t entirely about money: according to the principles of feng shui, “Your house is your larger body,� says Casey. And just like a depressed person might let their dishes pile up, our environments reflect our overall well-being. Directly translated as “wind-water� in Chinese, feng shui is not a religion or

superstition, says Casey, but a scientific discipline that dates back thousands of years. Just as the life force Qi, or “chi,� flows through all living things, she says, our spaces also resonate with chi, and feng shui seeks to keep it flowing freely. The most common form of blockage she comes across in peoples’ homes, offices and gardens is reason enough to follow her advice for a deep spring cleaning: clutter. “Mentally, it causes depression,� says Casey. “And people have a hard time focusing on what they’re supposed to be doing when all of this clutter is surrounding them.� I nervously eye the precarious stack of books that lives on the floor by my bed, the papers scattered on my desk, and realize she might have a point. When my desk is less chaotic, so is my brain. Aside from depression, people who suffer from emotional trauma, attention

deficit disorder and chronic pain may struggle with housecleaning, according to David F. Tolin, director of the Anxiety Disorders Center in Hartford, Conn. Could spring cleaning help alleviate our psychological imbalances? There’s only one way to find out. “I noticed mainly that I was able to focus better, and sleep more soundly, and I was calmer,� says Casey of clearing the clutter in her own life many years ago when she began to study feng shui. “I also noticed differences in the behavior of my family members, too, and they didn’t really have any idea. It affected everybody. It was more functional.� Dr. Pamela Peeke, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of Maryland, says that clearing clutter may even help you lose weight—not just because it’s easier to find your gym shoes, but also because it means making a choice to live in a different way.

But feng shui goes way deeper than what Casey says should be an “everyday process� of a home without clutter and a garden sans weeds. With her “Bagua,� an eight-sided energy map that divides the living space into the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal—each also associated with physical aspects of our health—she maps out my apartment, making suggestions as she goes. A lamp here, a candle there, a mirror above the stove, more plants, and then there it is: the wealth and prosperity corner. To my utter elation, I have two—one in my apartment and one in my garden. “To cultivate your wealth and prosperity, you need some jewel tones here, purples and reds,� says Casey. “Jade plants are associated with abundance, so you can try rolling up a 20-dollar bill and leaving it there,� says Casey, because the corner is also about gratitude. Oh, I will try all right. But how to keep from spending it on gas in a pinch, I am not quite sure. The bathroom is a problematic room in all homes, says Casey, because so much chi is lost through the drains. She recommends keeping the toilet seat down—at all times—and even keeping the door closed. For success in your career, she suggests a water element by the front door, but a fountain is not a budget priority so I hang a photograph of the ocean there instead. “Adjustments don’t have to be fancy and expensive,� says Casey. “A lot of people think that they do. But you can make huge changes in your life without having to go out and dump thousands of dollars on it, or remodel your home. Intention is really the most important thing. You place an intention and then you manifest it through your actions and your environment.� And even if my new wealth corner doesn’t land me my dream job, she’s left me inspired to clear the clutter, go to town on my garden and keep the toilet seat down.

PAY TO STAY The bottom level of the garage at River and Front streets is being converted from free parking this week.

Cathcart Fight

Space Oddities It’s local businesses, not tourists, feeling the bite as free parking disappears BY JACOB PIERCE

T

he Department of Public Works calls it Lot 10. Customers and employees in the City of Santa Cruz think of it as one of the last bastions of downtown’s free parking. But it won’t be for long. The cement garage on the corner of River and Front, sandwiched between Wells Fargo and Regal Riverfront Twin, is under construction this week. The changes underway offer a glimpse into the future of Santa Cruz’s ongoing parking debate. The city council voted in December to convert the bottom story of the lot from three-hour free parking to paid and permit parking, at a cost of $610,000. When construction crews came in with wire fencing to install metal boxes with large, mechanical

arms, the change brought disappointment to downtown Santa Cruz, especially from people who work in the area and pay each day they work. Public works director Mark Dettle, who spoke at a meeting about parking at NextSpace Coworking last week, understands downtown employees aren’t thrilled about the development. “Most visitors don’t complain about parking,� Dettle said at the meeting. “It’s people who use it every day. It adds up. I understand that.� The garage’s setup right now has permit parking, which is being under-utilized, on the top two floors. Soon all three levels will accommodate people with permits or who pay day-use fees—hopefully

businesses double-pay for parking,� says Miller, who attended the meeting to discuss parking with Mayor Hilary Bryant and city staff. “We pay parking deficiency fees to the city through our membership at NextSpace, and we also pay for our employees’ parking permits.� Jeremy Neuner, CEO of NextSpace, says his company pays $10,000 in parking deficiency fees every year. Those fees cover rent on certain lots the city doesn’t own, and pays for debt the city has left over from lot construction. The fees pay for maintenance of the lots and for two public restrooms. They also fund trash and recycling collection, security, scrubbing of some sidewalks and alleys, and administrative costs. Public Works launched a program last year that covers a portion of businesses’ parking deficiency fees through July.

making the lot more efficient and using more spots. If the city ignored the need, Dettle says, “we would probably have more of a shortage of parking downtown.� Dettle adds the change could encourage people to bike, bus or walk downtown. The city has a goal of reducing in-town car trips 10 percent by 2020. But business owners at NextSpace, which is near Lot 10, say three-hour free parking is only part of the issue. Chris Miller, president of Launch Brigade, has grown frustrated with having to pay parking deficiency fees in addition to buying parking permits for himself and his workers—at $31 a month per permit. ““There’s a sense that we as

Lot 10 probably won’t be the last parking controversy this year. For decades, city officials have discussed putting a new garage on the corner of Cedar and Cathcart, currently the site of Wednesday’s downtown Farmers Market. It’s a plan that was never popular with farmers-market lovers or alternative transportation advocates, but the discussion might be changing. “It’s very early in the conversation,� says Amelia Conlen, who has been director of People Power since July. “I don’t think a new parking garage is necessarily a bad thing.� Conlen says a new garage could increase urban density but also hopes city staff looks into alternatives like expanding the Ride Spring program. Dettle says the new Warriors stadium gives Santa Cruz a feel for what it’s going to be like if the vacant storefronts downtown fill up. “If we think it is hard to find place to park during a Warriors game, it’s possibly time to start thinking about the next garage,� he says. 0

Thin Fred Line When Santa Cruz Warrior Taylor Griffin missed a clutch free throw with a minute-and-a-half to play against the Los Angeles D-Fenders on Friday night, Santa Cruz County Treasurer Fred Keeley looked over at his godson. The 14-year-old avid basketball fan was feeling discouraged. The Warriors had bounced back from a 16-point deficit, but were still down by one. “It’s all right. It’s all right,� Keeley told him, as D-Fender Courtney Fourtson advanced the ball down the court after a rebound. “I’m irrationally optimistic about everything,� Keeley told the Weekly after the game. “That’s the way I live my life.� Near the end of the game, as D-Fender Jerome Jordan got ready to shoot two free throws with a four-point lead, the Kaiser Permanete arena was quiet with dread. Keeley leaned forward, rubbed his palms together and smiled with anticipation. Jordan drilled one of those two shots, en route to a 111-104 Los Angeles win. Keeley shouted. “It’s OK! LA’s going to be watching us on TV in the playoffs!� Coming from the affable former congressman, that’s downright trash talk. Keeley, whose bald dome can be seen glittering in the arena’s fluorescent light at Warriors games, has become a fixture of Santa Cruz basketball culture. He didn’t miss a single home game this season, and between his courtside seats and animated support for the team, he’s become our own Jack Nicholson. Like Lakers icon Nicholson, he’s got signature moves—Keeley claps more than Nancy Pelosi at an Obama State of the Union address, and is known to hold out his arms like an eagle for a Travis Leslie dunk, or point to draw the refs’ attention to a foul by the other team. Sometimes, he’s as entertaining to watch as the game itself. Appropriately, Keeley played an important role in the Warriors’ path to Santa Cruz. Chosen by then-mayor Don Lane, Keeley chaired a blue-ribbon committee this past year tasked with evaluating whether or not a Warriors’ home in Santa Cruz would be a good deal for the town. The Warriors’ regular season wraps up April 6, and the team looks poised to secure the fourth seed in the playoffs. The officials weren’t popular at

Friday’s game, and at times the walls felt like they might to collapse under mounting boos. But godfather Keeley (who wouldn’t admit to us he loves channeling his inner Jack) says the officials called a fair game. “Referees are human beings,� Keeley says. “I know a lot of people don’t agree with that, but they’re doing the best they can. Stuff usually evens out. They miss a call here, or make a call that shouldn’t have been made. If a team has got to worry about the refs, you’re worried about the wrong thing.�

Clang Thang Downtown has been much quieter the past few weeks, at least at noon and 5pm. That’s because the volume on the city’s carillon bells, which hang high in the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, has been turned down. Carol Scurich, the city’s recreation superintendent, isn’t sure exactly when the problem with the bells started. City staff noticed the song had gotten much quieter, Scurich says, and cranked up the volume to compensate. But when they did, the sound became distorted as the crackling sound from the speakers spread through downtown. They were left off for a few weeks, and then turned back on, this time at a lower volume. Scurich says one of the speakers had blown out, so anyone thinking the Carillons got turned off merely to spare our hearing missed the mark. Scurich hopes the city’s new “fantastic� mechanic Dan Hyman, who’s returning from sick leave, can fix the speaker. If not, the city might fly in an expert from out of the area to fix the carillon bells, as the city did a few years ago. “The problem with the carillons is that there are only about three people in the United States who can work on them,� Scurich says. “I’ve been here for 25 years, and unfortunately this happens because it malfunctions, and getting someone to fix it is hard.� Scurich says she’s only ever heard two complaints about the ear-rattling bells. One was about a faulty system that used to ring the bells at odd hours after power outages—and the other from a woman who used to call the city if she didn’t hear the bells ring for a few days. Scurich hasn’t heard from the woman this time, but, if she’s still around, a new repair would probably be music to her ears. 0

A LITTLE OFF THE TOPS Born out of the Santa Cruz punk underground, the Chop Tops have gone international.

Chop Talk Success hasn’t changed Santa Cruz’s Chop Tops BY SEAN MCCOURT

S

anta Cruz rockers The Chop Tops have been tearing up local and international stages for nearly two decades now, taking traditional rockabilly and chucking out the owner’s manual, boosting the power, streamlining the chassis and hot rodding it into something that’s all their own. Featuring vocalist/drummer Gary “Sinner� Marsh, Shelby Legnon on guitar and Brett Black on bass, the hard-working trio has toured across the United States multiple times and performed as far away as Australia—all while continuing to live in Santa Cruz, where they got their start in the punk scene back in the mid-90s. “Every member of this band grew up

listening to punk rock,� says Marsh, who sees punk not merely as one particular type of music, but an overall attitude. Taking the fierce spirit of independence gleaned from the Santa Cruz underground, Marsh applied it to his first musical love—rockabilly—and formed The Chop Tops, who are today are a well oiled, high performance machine, playing more than 200 shows a year, and logging tens of thousands of miles on the road annually. “We started a band for fun in a friend’s garage, we never intended to do anything but just have fun and play shows and parties and that was it—and out of that came a career. This is our day job, this is what we do,� says Marsh. The Chop Tops haven’t gotten where

they are by taking the easy road or getting by on luck, however; Marsh and Legnon, who came on board in the early days, have endured several lineup changes and other obstacles over the years in addition to putting in countless hours of writing and rehearsing and paying their dues. “You really respect the people who have done this for a long time, bands like AC/DC, the Ramones and the bands in this genre, like the Reverend Horton Heat. You understand what it is to be out on the road, how hard it is, all the hard work that goes into it,� says Marsh. “We didn’t get into this because we wanted to be rock stars, we just liked playing music,� says Legnon. “Hell, in the old days, we didn’t make any money,

and we played four sets a night and went to our day jobs in the morning. We did it because we liked what we did. This went on for years—it just happened to turn into a career.� The Chop Tops’ mixture of classic and contemporary sounds combined with an unwavering work ethic has won the respect and admiration of fans around the globe, including Australia, where the band played several shows in May of last year. “We had to leave from Santa Cruz, drive for eight hours to L.A., get on a plane, fly for 15 hours, arrived in Melbourne and then played almost right away,� says Legnon. “But it was really cool, the people were really receptive—I was kind of surprised, a lot of them knew our stuff!� “It went really well, we left with as much merchandise as we could carry, and came back with none—we sold it all,� says Marsh. Since they’ve been back, the group has re-released their album Evil Six, which originally came out back in 2001. The band was never happy with the first release, and decided to re-record the bass parts with Black, who joined in 2008, and re-mixed and mastered the record to meet their increasingly heightened standards. “It was rushed, we didn’t have the budget,� says Marsh. “We wound up going back to revisit it because we knew we’d have a kick-ass album with the right guy on bass, and if we put in the right time for production.� With the band already booked for a return visit to the land down under this summer, The Chop Tops have been busy working on material for a new album, and are gearing up for another U.S. tour later in the year. “Hey,� says Legnon. “Time flies when you’re having fun.�

U MAD, BRO? Michelle Shocked had something to say during her bizarre visit to Moe’s last week. But no one knows what it was.

Me and Michelle Adventures in weirdness with Michelle Shocked BY GEORGIA PERRY

W

hen I heard Michelle Shocked, who had her scheduled concert at Moe’s Alley cancelled last week because of the hateful, anti-gay slurs she made at Yoshi’s in San Francisco earlier this month, had showed up at Moe’s anyway in protest, I was settling down to an evening of Caesar salad and my beloved Indiana Hoosiers in the NCAA tournament. Michelle, let the record state that you are the reason that instead of eating a Caesar salad for dinner last Thursday, I just shoved three cookies into my mouth as quickly as possible and drove out to Soquel to find you sitting on the ground wearing an outfit made of duct

tape. I also didn’t watch the basketball game, and Indiana wound up losing. I’m not saying that’s your fault‌but I’m also not not saying that, OK? When I approached Shocked, who was dressed in white laboratory scrubs with a sack over her head and duct tape with the words “Silenced by Fearâ€? covering her mouth, she was seated on the ground outside of Moe’s strumming a guitar wordlessly. The scene was at once threatening and nonthreatening— on one hand, she seemed pretty mellow, but on the other hand I had no clue how to handle the situation. I wanted to ask her some questions but had gathered that she was not speaking. I made a “writing with a penâ€?

symbol with my hand by scribbling the air, and she gestured toward a pen and pointed to the leg of her pants, which I guess she wanted me to write on. I opted instead for a piece of regular paper. “I’m from the Weekly,â€? I wrote. “Will you do an interview?â€? She wrote back on a dry-erase board she was carrying that she was taking a three-day vow of silence. I began to write a response on my paper, but before I could finish she had written, “but you aren’t.â€? TouchĂŠ, Michelle! I asked her out loud what she was doing here, and she wrote this vague nonsense: “They shouldn’t have allowed it to be triangulated until my side of the story was represented.â€?

Ughh, come on, girl. Did you really just decide to show up here and stage this bizarre protest without even knowing why you’re doing it? Didn’t the entire nation basically tell you to “go to your room and think about what you’ve doneâ€?? Gah. Apparently she didn’t get the message, and has not thought much about the bullshit she pulled at Yoshi’s. We need to collectively work on our parenting skills, especially when it comes to our ornery, “artisticâ€? children. Most people just kind of shook their heads and walked inside the venue, but Tony Russomanno, local gay politics activist, stood over Shocked and looked down at her as she loudly strummed her guitar. “I feel pity for her,â€? he said plainly. “If she had a hat out here maybe I’d throw a dime into her hat.â€? Inside, crowds gathered to see performances by lesbian “butch power pop trioâ€? Beaver Fever and “legendary queer party bandâ€? Fruity Flavors, groups Moe’s Alley owner Bill Welch pointedly recruited for tonight, after he dismissed Shocked, to show that Moe’s welcomes all sexual orientations. Welch, who refers to Shocked as a friend, said he cancelled her performance because the venue “will not tolerate bigotry or hateful views from anyone, regardless of musical talent.â€? He shook his head, saying she was in denial and would probably wake up in a few days and wonder what the hell she had done. “This is unexpected. She just showed up. Why? I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s going to solve any of her problems‌ She’s a very talented musician but I think she said some things that were pretty dumb‌It’s sad. The whole situation,â€? he said. Yep. Sad and very, very, very weird. Not only did I have nightmares that night, I went over my allotted daily cookie quota and was not able to have any more cookies for the entire next day. I mean, I still had one, but I didn’t feel great about it.0

FROM MINNEAPOLIS WITH HOVE Polica’s Channy Leaneagh, who claims both Jay-Z and Bon Iver as fans, plays April 10.

B6C@A2/G " " DUMPSTAPHUNK For every musical genius, chances are one of their offspring is running around performing magical tunes as well. That is the case with founder Ivan Neville and guitarist cousin Ian of Dumpstaphunk; their fathers made up half of The Neville Brothers, one of the original funk bands of New Orleans, and have passed on that legacy to their sons. Dumpstaphunk, also comprising drummer Nikki Glaspie and bassists Nick Daniels and Tony Hall, is considered one of New Orleans’ most prestigious modern funk ensembles. Their organic dirty funk sound originates in the soul and is released with each jazzy flick of a string and tap on the drum. Moe’s Alley; $20 adv/$25 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

4@72/G " # ZION I It’s interesting to go back and listen to AmpLive’s “Rainydayz Remixes� of Radiohead’s In Rainbows, the project that pretty much made his name as a DJ. (Radiohead initially served up a cease-and-desist order, but then backed off.) It’s essential listening not only for Radiohead and hip-hop fans, but anyone who can appreciate how good songwriting holds up to many different interpretations. Not surprisingly, one of the best guest appearances comes on “Nudez� from MC Zumbi, AmpLive’s partner in Zion I. These two just get each other, and they funneled the pulsing energy of “Rainydayz Remixes� into the 2009 Zion I album The Takeover. They’ve pressure-dropped into a whole different groove, drenched in classic reggae and dub, for their newest album, Atomic Clock. They’re joined for this show by Living Legends’ Eligh and The Grouch. The Catalyst; $19/$124; 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)

4@72/G " # GRAHAME LESH Like many talented musicians, Grahame grew up listening to and being influenced by the bluegrassy psychedelic rock of the Grateful Dead. Unlike those musicians, however, Grahame actually knew the Grateful Dead—and by “knew,� I mean his father is Phil Lesh, one of the original founders of the band. Grahame has played alongside his dad at his restaurant Terrapin Crossroads, as well as with the band Maiden Lane, and is now playing around California with a few other friends. His clear, raspy voice blends folk and soul with rock ‘n’ roll in a Van Morrison way that encourages swirling dancing and solid foot-tapping. The Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (MW)

A/BC@2/G " $ MAMMATUS & SLEEPY SUN In recent years, two local psychedelicnoise-rock outfits, Mammatus and Sleepy Sun, have expanded beyond the Santa Cruz scene and made their mark on the worldwide underground. On Saturday, the two bands are sharing a bill in what promises to be a hallucination-friendly, drone-tinged, melodically expansive rock & roll homecoming. Events like this one don’t come around all the time, so if heavy, brainmelting sounds are your thing, you’d be wise to check this one out. Moe’s Alley; $7 adv/$10 door; 8:30pm. (Cat Johnson)

A/BC@2/G " $ DAVID WILCOX Singer-songwriter David Wilcox has, over the last 25 years, quietly established himself among the favorites of the contemporary-folk circuit. Often described as a “songwriter’s songwriter,� Wilcox has a gift for moving beyond navel-gazing and into big-picture territory where philosophy, love and insights collide. His catalog, which was called “unjustly neglected� by one reviewer, is a trove of thoughtful, warm and emotionally probing songs brought to life via his unique fingerpicking style and a warm voice that garners him comparisons to James Taylor and Nick Drake. Kuumbwa; $24 adv; 7pm. (CJ)

AC<2/G " % ERIN INGLISH Few things are more charming than Erin Inglish’s wholesome banjo music and world peace-embracing lyrics, but her story might be one of them. The San Luis Obispo-based singer/songwriter has been touring through California on her bicycle with her banjo to share songs “Mama Like,� “My Dandelion Has a Smile� and other tunes about family, love and nature. Lucky for Santa Cruz, she included a stop on Pacific Avenue to benefit People Power and the Santa Cruz Bike Church. SubRosa; $15; 6pm. (Jacob Pierce)

;=<2/G " & RAY CHARLES PROJECT It would be hard to overstate Ray Charles’s influence on popular music.

Thursday, April 11

What do Jay Z and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver have in common? Besides being featured in a Kanye West song, not much. Well, at least until now. The two have recently fallen in love with the heartbeat rhythm of electronics mixed with percussion and the ghostly tender vocals of Polica. After lead singer Channy Leaneagh spent her teenage years studying ballet and classical violin while listening to nothing but ’90s R&B, she knows how to bend genres and make it work. She and Ryan Olsen, the founders of the band, released their first album, Give You the Ghost, on Valentine’s Day last year, and have since received much praise for their chilling sound and beautiful performances.

Tim Rayborn In an exciting collaboration, multi-instrumentalist Tim Rayborn and vocalist Rita Lilly present medieval instrumentals, secular cantigas, songs of troubadors and trobairitz of 12th to 13th -century Portugal, Spain, and France. Forming this program’s highlight is the magnificent Cantigas de Amigo song cycle, a seven-part collection that was miraculously rediscovered in the 20th century inside the binding of a later book. Acclaimed specialist of medieval music Tim Rayborn was last featured on our series in 2008 (The Flame of Love).

Film CONVENT DAYS Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur star as troubled lovers in ‘Beyond the Hills.’

Old-Time Religion Cristian Mungiu’s ‘Beyond the Hills’ is willing to explore everyone’s reasons in a tough case BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

HE BEST European cinema— and Beyond the Hills by Cristian Mungiu is firmly in that category—is a slippery realm. You can start out watching a film feeling morally certain and then learn you don’t have firm ground to stand on. The complexities multiply. The proverbial everyone has his or her proverbial reasons. Mungiu deservedly won the Palme D’Or at Cannes in 2007 for 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, but Cannes takes away what Cannes gives sometimes. Beyond the Hills was booed by a crowd that didn’t feel (it seems) that the boom had been lowered hard enough on the ostensible villains of this piece. In Beyond the Hills, Mungiu, a journalist turned filmmaker, takes a searching documentary approach to an investigation. He gives us long takes and

self-acknowledged “dead spotsâ€? when little is going on for a minute or two. His sources are “nonfiction novelsâ€? by Tatiana Niculescu Bran, who apparently does exposĂŠs of the politically wellconnected Romanian church. The subject of the film, the Maricica Cornici case, is well-known there—and it could easily happen here. This fictionalized version has an angle—it’s a love story between two young women. The small, quiet Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) has apparently been less than frank with her friend and lover, Alina (the smoldering Cristina Flutur). Alina has fixed them up with restaurant jobs in Germany, but what Alina doesn’t know is that Voichita has joined a nunnery. It’s run by a bornagain convert, a former electrician who saw an angel. Where did he see it? “He doesn’t talk of such things with usâ€?—us

meaning women. Romania is, like the French countryside 50 years ago, a place where you can still see pieces of the wood-fire and candle-lit world of the Middle Ages. There are strict guidelines—penances of a thousand kowtows to the Virgin Mary, a list of 441 sins to be memorized. Menstruating women are considered unclean. Alina follows her friend to the place and shares her room, but she’s surprised to be sexually rejected. The two women had grown up together in an appalling orphanage, and Alina had protected her until they left. As someone raised in institutions, Alina tries to manipulate the rules so that she can stay by the side of the only person she’s ever loved. Then comes the fork in the story. Furious at Voichita’s adherence to this backward way of life, Alina has a

meltdown. She’s taken to the hospital. The ineptitude there is counterpointed by a kind, scruffy doctor with enough time to take short breaks at his desk with the worried nuns—even for what seems to be an ordinary hysteria case, complicated with some respiratory troubles. (“These goddamn illnesses, they won’t kill you but they won’t let you live.�) When the ill and unstable Alina returns to the monastery, just so she can be with her beloved, Beyond the Hills becomes a species of those exorcism movies that audiences gorge on, only done with a realism and ambiguity usually missing from the genre. There’s no room for doubt about what’s going on, thanks to the calm, understated acting. The movie encapsulates many of the themes in the other first-rate films from Romania: the hospital bureaucracy of The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and the cop-shops full of jesting-Pilate-type officers in Police, Adjective. Alina’s ordeal winds up the audience. Flutur (who resembles the spiky Katrin Cartlidge of Mike Leigh’s Naked) shows us a one-person wrestling match, the stubbornness of a survivor in mortal conflict with a lover who can’t let go. The film’s last shot sums up the off-handed, bitter, but intelligent way Mungiu makes his real-life tragedies. We look out on a street through a police van’s windshield and see a gruff cop telling his partner the winter will end soon. The frost clears to something pretty: children crossing the street in the snow, the colors of their coats glowing in the clarity of freezing air. Then, as if a rebuke to this sense of rightness, to our belief in knowing what we see: a virtual slush ball is thrown at the camera as a bucketful of gutter water churned up by the wheels of a passing car obscures our view.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R; 120 min) The director of Training Day, who hasn’t made a good movie since, returns with this Gerard Butler actioner about a disgraced federal agent who must save the president when he’s trapped in a terrorist attack on the White House. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG; 130 min.) When three of Oz’s witches first meet Kansas transplant Oscar Diggs (James Franco), they’re disappointed. This, they worry, can’t possibly be the great wizard everyone’s expecting. Can he prove them wrong before the magical land’s epic problems spiral out of control? SPRING BREAKERS (R; 94 min) The fact that Harmony Korine is still making movies after Gummo is amazing. The fact that he’s making a subversive spring break flick featuring co-eds who rob a restaurant to pay for their partying, and then get mixed up with drug dealers, is downright awesome. STOKER (R; 98 min.) Chan-wook Park, the visionary director of Oldboy and the Vengeance trilogy, returns to some of his freakiest themes with this Nicole Kidman thriller about a young girl (Mia Wasikowska) who develops an unhealthy relationship with her malevolent uncle after he comes to live with her and her mother. TYLER PERRY’S TEMPTATION (PG-13; 117 min.) If Tyler Perry’s temptation was to stop making 150 movies a year, we’d suggest he take it. Alas, the title refers to writer-director Perry’s latest story about a married woman tempted into an affair with a billionaire—and the fallout. UPSIDE DOWN (PG-13; 100 min.)

Farmers Market Paradise BY CHRISTINA WATERS

aybe it was those gorgeous chocolate egg cakes at Kelly’s, all decorated with tiny multi-colored bunnies and chicks. Or the tulips appearing overnight in my front yard. Or maybe it was the drive up the coast for breakfast at Duarte’s in Pescadero, where our favorite scrambled eggs with Spanish sauce tasted as wonderful as ever. But it has definitely started to feel like spring on the coast. And now is the time to put a weekly visit to a local farmers market on your schedule. I never miss the Westside Saturday market, and often browse

around the Wednesday Downtown Santa Cruz market, where I’ve been happy to find lots of pepper and water cresses, watermelon radishes, tender asparagus, infant kales and green garlic, as well as tulips and freesias in myriad watercolor hues. It always helps if Paul Rangell’s fiddle is humming in the background while I inhale my weekly slab of pumpkin cake from Companion Bakeshop bakers. We’re lucky to have so many wonderful farmers markets in our area, so don’t be a stranger. AND NOW THERE’S ONE MORE:

The Scotts Valley Farmers Market will re-open for the season this Saturday, April 6. You can expect the very freshest in local organic produce, artisanal foods, and live music —plus the SVFM plans to host several pop-up breakfasts in the coming months, as part of the Santa Cruz Community Farmers’ Market pop-up breakfast series. The Scotts Valley Farmers Market opens with favorite vendors like Route One Farm, Live Earth Farm, Rodoni Farm, Everett Family Farm and many others. Plus there will be the incomparable seafoods from H & H Fresh Fish, the hand-butchered

as part of the proposed Aptos Village development. The market will go up where the Apple Barn currently stands. This will give Aptos residents an all-natural, organic outlet to complement the giant Safeway that thus far has been the only game in town. . . . Meanwhile, I’m loving the Clos du Z Rhône-style blend of grenache, syrah and petite sirah from Zayante Vineyards ($14.99) that I found next to the olive bar at my neighborhood New Leaf. This largescale, easy-to-love red wine talks back smartly, but pleasantly, to any big pasta dish—it especially loves Italian sausage, pork chops, even roast chicken. Rhône-style blends are clearly my house vin ordinaire, since as I ponder my garage/cellar I spy lots of Santa Cruz Mountains Vineyard Grenache, Bonny Doon Vineyard’s Le Cigare Volant, some Odonata grenache and a case of house select Rhône blend from Kermit Lynch. In my perfect world, every talented winemaker in Santa Cruz would be focusing on something in the key of grenache, ideally laced with syrah.0

MAKE IT SNAPPY Gary Willet and his cocker spaniel Snappy are Santa Cruz’s best hot-dog tag team.

Gary Willet Owner, Gary’s Old-Fashioned Snappy Hot Dogs Retired winegrower Gary Willet started serving hot dogs in the Westside’s U-Save Liquors parking lot on weekdays and in between Vino Tabi Winery and Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing on the weekends. Five years ago, he got a sidekick, a cocker spaniel named Snappy, who likes begging for hot dogs and playing fetch with a hot-dog-shaped chew toy. Willet keeps a huge condiment selection, sells six kinds of links and offers each hot dog with a choice of sauerkraut or his homemade chili. A1E( EVS\ eOa g]c` TW`ab V]b R]U- GARY WILLET: I couldn’t have been more than two and a half, if that. My grandfather had a butcher wagon out of Auburn. I remember eating, as a little kid, an uncooked hot dog on my grandfather’s meat wagon. And I liked them ever since. EVg O ZW_c]` ab]`S ^O`YW\U Z]b- I went in there to sell wine. He liked

the wine, but it was too expensive and I had these hot dog carts, so I jokingly said “what you really need out there is a hot dog cart,� and he jumped all over it. 6]e R] g]c TSSZ OP]cb Pc`US`a- Great. I love Betty Burgers. I’ve always been a hot dog man. I love forced meats. They’re a good thing. I always dreamed of having a hot dog cart on the beach. I’m close, anyway. EVOb O`S T]`QSR [SOba- That’s what the French call it. You create a blend of sausage meats, grind it up and force it in a casing. EVg Wa bVS QOaW\U W[^]`bO\b- This meat is all-beef, and it’s in a lamb

casing, and it swells up when you heat it. When you bite it, it snaps. Most hot dogs these days get a bum wrap without any [authentic] casing. EVS`S R] g]c USb g]c` V]b R]Ua- I have them made by a German family in Sacramento. It’s pretty much a personal design. 2] O Z]b ]T T`WS\Ra Q][S Pg- Yeah I’ve met a few people. I’m retired—

this is what I do. I’m out here six days a week. A]c\Ra ZWYS O VWUV Q][[Wb[S\b `SbW`S[S\b Yeah, it is, but it started

Beyond Dishcrawl Tracy Lee tests her new dining model in Santa Cruz BY AARON CARNES

P

icking a restaurant in any city can be a daunting task—there are just so many options. Should you have Thai? Italian? Mexican? Who serves the best pho these days? Where do you get a decent T-bone steak? Which explains why Dishcrawl— founded by 28-year-old San Jose native Tracy Lee three years ago—has found success in many cities. When a person signs up for a Dishcrawl, they eat at four different places, but the only restaurant revealed to them before the event starts is the first. All

the participants sit at a table together, and are served three different items from each restaurant. The chef comes out and tells everybody a little bit about each dish, and some background information on the restaurant itself. Then the guide leads everyone to the next spot. Now, Lee is unrolling a different model called NeighborFOOD, which comes to Santa Cruz on April 14. It is a bigger version of Dishcrawl: instead of four restaurants there are eight. And rather than going on a guided tour, everyone is handed a map and

left to decide on their own which order to go to each place, how long to spend and whom to sit with. They get one small dish per restaurant. “With the NeiborFOOD model, what we’re trying to create is a way people can experience something a little more casual. You can bring eight of your closest friends, and try different dishes, grab drinks, just be a little more relaxed about it,� Lee says. The first NeighborFOOD was in downtown Mountain View on February 24, with roughly 150 people

in attendance. Rather than making the restaurants for NeighborFOOD a complete surprise, Lee announces them before the event. Two restaurants that will be participating in the Santa Cruz NeighborFOOD are CafĂŠ Gratitude and Pono Hawaiian Grill, with Pono serving their Pele Wings with Adoboloco sauce. Lee isn’t generally part of the restaurant selection process anymore for the Dishcrawls and NeighborFOOD events. It’s handled by a local “ambassadorâ€? who organizes the events. “All of our ambassadors are foodies. It’s really about what they’re passionate about. When you go to a different city, you get different flavors of the actual ambassador that’s there. The experience you get is a local person showing you their local spots,â€? Lee says. The ambassador for the Santa Cruz NeighborFOOD is Wesley Katayama. “I love being able to host events that bring the community together over something so simple like food,â€? Katayama says. “People end up seeing such great things in the community that sometimes get overlooked.â€? NeighborFOOD is scheduled to roll out into 100 cities by the end of the year. Lee hopes to expand on the success of Dishcrawl, which she continues to limit to a maximum of 50 diners. “You cannot guide 120 people around. It’s just a zoo,â€? Lee explains. NeighborFOOD, on the other hand, can serve a couple hundred people since no “guiding aroundâ€? is needed. Lee says she’s been surprised by the rapid success and expansion of Dishcrawl, which was initially just meant to give her something interesting to do while she worked a corporate 9-to-5 that bored her to tears. About a year into throwing Dishcrawls, she was able to quit her day job. She sent an email to her boss explaining why she was quitting. It said basically that she was taking over the world, which shocked her boss. “But I kind of am,â€? Lee says.
