Digging Deeper Re: “Michelle and Me� (A&E, April 3): The more Michelle Shocked said, the deeper the hole she was digging for herself. Her act may play well in ultra-conservative areas, and so be it. It does not play well here. I don’t understand why gender can be a barrier to the love between two people, regardless of their faith. I would have walked out at Yoshi’s, too. Free speech is awesome, but intelligent folks know there is a reason we have two ears and only one mouth. How about my right to listen to what I choose to hear? BRETT CROSS Saratoga

Museum of Yes Re: “Big Ideas� (Cover, March 20): What a thrill to see the article on the MAH and Nina Simon. We are all in love with the MAH at our house, not

least because of all the innovative, creative, and interactive experiences we have had there over the years. I wanted to include a huge shout out to MAH Programs Associate Emily Hope-Dobkin (and indeed all the fabulous staff and volunteers that make the MAH such a wonderful place). Emily is doing great things with and for teens in Santa Cruz, including her new program, Subjects to Change. The MAH is a hotspot for teens—a great alternative for wholesome fun in our small town! Emily became the star in our sky when she agreed to help nine teenage girls, including my daughters, facilitate the event LunaFest, on March 8th. We had inquired at many venues in town about their hosting the film festival by, for and about women, and Nina and Emily at the MAH were the only ones who gave us the emphatic YES! That’s just what kind of place it is, run by people who are, as you said, truly on “the cutting edge of Santa Cruz cool.� GAYLE MCCALLUM Santa Cruz

Simple and Safe Re: “Mind Over Scatter� (Wellness, March 20) As the author of books on teaching yoga, including to children, I agree that yoga can benefit kids of all ages—so long as it’s developmentally appropriate. Many postures fit for adults can cause life-long joint instability, nerve damage and other problems when done by children, whose soft bones are growing and nervous systems are in their formative development (the process of myelination). The pictured posture depicting a little girl suspended by a yoga teacher is extremely dangerous for kids (and for many adults) because it’s hyperextending the girl’s neck, which can separate the disks from the vertebral end plates and cause cervical disk herniation and spinal cord impingement. Kids’ yoga should keep it all very simple, allowing kids to have fun while learning about themselves and others through expressive sharing and easy postures within safe ranges of motion right for their age.

What’s the Story? Re: “Michelle and Meâ€? (A&E, April 3): OK, you’ve got my ear, Michelle. What is ‘your side of the story’? Were all the people who walked out of Yoshi’s NOT understanding what you were saying? I want to make space for you to tell me what really did happen‌ would you please tell us your side of this? Having made a large portion of your career from LGBT people, I’m sure you can understand that we are shocked and dismayed at what we have been told. Please tell us otherwise, if we have been misled. Otherwise, you cannot be too shocked and dismayed at this outcome. LYNN JACOB

Currents SLIVER OF HOPE A researcher with the Alzheimer’s Association examines a brain sample. The Santa Cruz chapter of the group is hosting an Education Conference April 17.

Facing an Epidemic Local conference takes on hopes and fears for Alzheimer’s patients BY DOMINIC FRACASSA

A

pproximately 5.4 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the vast majority 65 years and older. But this is only the beginning—a rising life expectancy rate, combined with an enormous population of baby boomers, will balloon that number to nearly 16 million by 2050, according to figures from the Alzheimer’s Association. If left unchecked, the Alzheimer’s epidemic could become the defining disease of future generations. It already ranks sixth among the leading causes of death for Americans age 65 and older. On April 17, the Santa Cruz chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will host their 16th annual Education Conference at Mount Hermon Conference Center, featuring a full day of workshops, lectures and Q&A sessions focusing on the rapidly changing landscape of the

Alzheimer’s problem. Guests speakers will discuss topics ranging from the newest discoveries about the disease to the best strategies for advocacy. A number of sessions will address problems faced by those caring for a person with Alzheimer’s. “I think families are empowered to hear other stories, and share their stories, and to also take away a few new tools,� says Dale Thielges, director of the Santa Cruz chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. At its worst, Alzheimer’s can cause people to forget how to walk, eat or bathe, to say nothing of keeping track of things like medication regimens or daily routines. Many acute-care facilities can offer Alzheimer’s patients the intensive attention they require—but only for those who can afford it. Spouses, sons, daughters and friends often end up assuming the role of caregiver. Typically,

that means taking on a vast array of complex emotional and financial challenges. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that caring for people with Alzheimer’s disease will cost as much as $20 trillion over the next 40 years. Last year alone, Medicare and Medicaid doled out an estimated $140 billion for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Dr. Gary Steinke, founder of the renowned Alzheimer’s Activity Center in San Jose, says that not nearly enough is being done to make the issue a priority. “Common sense doesn’t prevail,� he says. “It’s all politics, and politics will probably prevent it from happening for a while until there’s a major crisis.� Organizations like the Activity Center take in dozens of seniors each day, feeding them lunch, leading basic exercise regimens and providing the supervision they need. Patients can

spend up to 11 hours per day at the center for $65. Angie Carrillo takes her husband John here several days a week so she can continue to work. In October 2008, John was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. After burning through most of their nest egg, John’s pension is now able to cover the costs. She starts to sob over the phone when she recounts a recent day off. “I went in to a restaurant and sat there and ate lunch by myself, and it was the most amazing thing,� Angie says. “There is a cost [to Alzheimer’s] that is beyond money.� Alzheimer’s research has yielded mostly mixed results. Despite decades of data, billions of dollars spent and countless clinical trials, the disease is still incurable. But Dr. Joseph Rogers, executive director of health sciences at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), remains confident. While it’s still working its way through trial and testing phases, Rogers says a new drug his team is working on at SRI could keep the disease from taking hold of people in the first place, rather than just treating symptoms. One of the hallmarks of the disease is amyloid beta peptide, a protein that, if improperly managed by enzymes in the brain, can clump together to form plaques that slowly break down brain tissue. The plaque buildup typically appears as dark blotches on brain scans of Alzheimer’s patients. Rogers writes that his team “is pursuing compounds that both inhibit (brain) inflammation, a major cause of damage in Alzheimer’s, and simultaneously inhibit the production of amyloid beta peptide, perhaps the biggest villain in this terrible disorder.� The drug may still be years away from the clinical trial phase, but since the disease can’t be stopped once it’s started, research aimed at prevention could prove to be the Holy Grail. “One day, we hope to have a cure for this disease,� says Thielges. “I continue to be inspired by our families living locally, and all they’re able to persevere through.�0

BEHIND THE MASK Mental health activist Adrian Bernard says ‘I don’t think ‘illness’ is accurate. It defines us as ill or broken.’

State of Minds Mental health has become one of Santa Cruz’s top issues, in the context of public safety. But some in the community are trying to bring a deeper understanding of a subject often surrounded by fear and false assumptions BY GEORGIA PERRY

W

hen the voices first came to Adrian Bernard, they came in groups.

“There were the beautiful people who would sing this amazing song, the same melody over and over. Then there was a circus performer, and there were the dark ones who would come in with a token horn and blow the horn and chant dark songs. ‘Dark, dark ones’ is what I called them. There were thespians. There were children that would sing,� he says. “I was lost in that world for a while.� Eleven years ago, those voices kept Bernard awake for five days on end, sitting up on his bed, listening

to their songs and doing nothing else. He says it felt like his legs were stretched from one room of the apartment to the next. “I sometimes want to go back there‌but it’s gotten too busy now. I don’t have time,â€? he says. Today, the soft-spoken Bernard works as a counselor at the Second Story House, a peerstaffed respite house for people with mental health challenges. He also works with the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and is on the board at the Santa Cruz Mental Health Client Action Network (MHCAN), an entirely peer-run organization offering groups and classes ranging from cognitive behavioral

therapy and help with hearing voices to yoga and sculpture. He is also a part of the Stigma and Discrimination Reduction Initiative, a think-tank dedicated to increasing the public’s understanding of mental health issues. “The moment I tell somebody I have mental health challenges or psychological stuff—I don’t think ‘illness’ is accurate; it defines us as ill or broken— there becomes a dead shift from openness and caring and compassion and friendship to immediate shutdown. The warmth is gone,� he says. Many of those in the Santa Cruz community with mental health challenges say they’ve 14 experienced the same alienation.

T H E E D GE OF SA N ITY

Sarah Leonard, the director of MHCAN, has bright red hair and an even brighter, high-pitched voice. She talks fast, and focuses intently. Over a bite to eat at a cafĂŠ on Soquel Avenue near her office, she blends in with the crowd of diners, save for her colorful hair. But she remembers what it was like before she did. “In the past, people could tell that I was, you know, different,â€? she says. “I used to talk to myself a lot, and people would back away from me. People wouldn’t sit next to me on the bus. I also didn’t bathe for a month at a time‌people were really afraid of me.â€? At the time, Leonard says she heard voices in her head that tried to convince her people were out to get her, or trying to trick her. That made it even harder. People didn’t seem to think she was aware of their reaction to her, she remembers—but she was. “ I was very much in my own world, but I was also hyper aware of everything around me. I heard every little comment,â€? she says. “They would say very rude things. It was hurtful. It was really hurtful. I felt like it was me against the whole world, and there was nobody else who understood.â€?

Crime Myths As our community increasingly faces challenges such as homelessness, drug abuse and violent crime, discussions about mental health are increasing as well. This is due, in large part, to media coverage—both locally and nationally—of ties between violent crime and mental illness. Countless news reports following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., speculated that gunman Adam Lanza had Asperger’s Syndrome, despite the fact that research shows no association between Asperger’s and violence (nor that Lanza even had Asperger’s). Here in Santa Cruz, discussions of Shannon Collins’ murder last summer centered around Charles Anthony Edwards’ schizophrenia. After the shootings of SCPD officers Loran “Butch� Baker and Elizabeth Butler, the Sentinel lamented that cop-killer Jeremy Goulet, who had no

documented mental health diagnosis, “wasn’t in California’s much-heralded database that has helped authorities confiscate the guns of convicts and mentally ill people.� Lumping both convicts and mentally ill together is exactly the kind of thing that spreads fear and stigmatization, say many in the local mental health community. Similar language can be found in a petition currently circulating, written by the group Together for a Safe Santa Cruz County, which reads, “Today, members of our community are rightly concerned about our public safety—including crime such as gun violence and theft, and social issues such as drug abuse, homelessness, and untreated mental-illness.�

‘Take him to Monterey, to the community hospital, and dump him in their parking lot.’ — ADVICE GIVEN TO SANTA CRUZ PASTOR STEVE DEFIELDSGAMBREL “It’s very sad to me to see that the publicity in the papers tends to go towards those extreme few cases where someone hasn’t gotten help, and gets a weapon and ends up killing others, versus the thousands of others who don’t do that and don’t present any danger,� says Rama Khalsa, Santa Cruz County Interim Mental Health Director. Says Leonard, “I’m a diagnosed schizophrenic. I am also bipolar, OCD and other things, PTSD. Anyway, the fact is that I’m a homeowner. I work two jobs. I’m not scary. I’m not violent, I’m not going to hurt anybody. Yet I’m exactly who would

be treated with prejudice if someone was acting out of that kind of prejudice.� In actuality, mental illness as a risk factor for violent crime is extremely low. “There is a slightly higher chance that a person with a severe mental illness will be more violent but it’s just like, half a percent or one percent more,� says Craig Metz, a local marriage and family therapist who formerly ran Wheelock Residential Care, a Watsonville-based mental health facility. In those rare cases where mental illness does lead to violence, warning signs are often ignored. Though no known diagnosis of mental illness for Goulet has surfaced, his history of sex crimes prompted former U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to lament that no one connected the dots of his troubled history. His warning at the memorial for officers Baker and Butler implored the community to be more aware of people who pose a risk for violent behavior, whether or not they have mental health issues: “At some point,

somebody pays a price. These two officers on that Tuesday afternoon did not look the other way‌and they paid the ultimate price.â€? “Frankly, the first people that are going to see those problems are parents and relatives,â€? Panetta told the Weekly in a phone interview. “Sometimes we excuse that behavior, or kiss it off as just who that person happens to be, when there might very well be something that affects them mentally that requires greater care. Those bells have to go off. If we can get those bells to go off, then prevention becomes a greater key. But you’ve got to do it. You’ve got to do it at the beginning. When it comes too far, it becomes almost too late to address.â€? Santa Cruz, he says, has an obligation to care for those facing mental health issues, says Panetta. “That’s what makes our community strong,â€? he says. “This is generally a community that is ahead of the game, and understanding of these kinds of problems. In some ways, that’s what makes this tragedy even worse.â€?

In fact, people with mental health challenges are more likely to be victims of a violent crime, or do harm to themselves, than to hurt others. Carol Williamson, the president of Santa Cruz’s NAMI, knows this first hand. She got into the mental health field because of her son Nate, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 15 years old. “He was this awesome wonderful guy who graduated from high school very well, went on to UC Santa Barbara, and was taking his medication, which really helped him manage his life,� Williamson recalls. “And then he went into a depression, and then a mania, and ended up having a huge psychotic break when he was 19. He couldn’t quite find the right help, and I couldn’t find the right ways to help him. My confusion about finding help for us was so frustrating. And he took his own life when he was 24.� Like Bernard, Williamson’s son heard voices. But when he got lost in them, he didn’t come back. “My son was so intrigued by all of that that he pretty much left this world even while he was here, constantly listening and trying to figure out what the messages were,� she says. As a mother with no experience or understanding of what her son was going through, Williamson felt lost. “When my son had a psychotic break, I had no idea how to really handle that,� she says. She thought it would be good for him to get up and get moving, so she pressured him to get out of bed. After it was too late, she found out—from overhearing a doctor talking in a waiting room—that what he really needed was six months to a year of rest. “If only someone had someone told me that,� she says. “How would you learn that? How would you learn that?� One of the goals of Williamson’s organization is to teach parents how to better understand signs of emotional disturbance and mental illness in children. They offer classes for families as well as for people with diagnoses. “When the family understands that you have an illness and it’s not your fault, they treat you more gently than if they think it’s bad behavior,�

she says. “I just wanted to put my efforts into helping other families not experience the same thing I did.�

Political Fallout Ignorance and stigmatization of these issues has political as well as social consequences. Pam RogersWyman, Chief of Acute Services at County Mental Health Department, has watched her department’s budget shrivel by 28 percent over the last six years. The economic collapse played a big part—but not the only part. “A friend of mine who works with children with cancer said, ‘I can raise money for children with cancer every day of the week, but you cannot raise money for people with mental illnesses,’ and she’s absolutely right,� says Rogers-Wyman. “We want to find a cure for cancer. We want to find ways to prevent heart disease. We want to educate the public about obesity and diabetes. But there is not the same effort made on behalf of people with psychiatric disabilities.� The Santa Cruz County Mental Health Department serves about 6,000 adults and children annually, most of whom are below the poverty line and have a diagnosis that qualifies as a “major mental illness.� The department gets funding directly from the state, and as a result California mandates what services the county can provide and who is eligible for the system. Because of these mandates, Rogers-Wyman says, “there are huge holes.� “In a perfect world, everyone would be able to serve beyond their scope to make sure everyone got services,� she says. “The reason that’s not possible is because of the very significant cuts to mental health funding across the board.�

Breakdown Locally Steve DeFields-Gambrel, a pastor at the outreach-focused Circle Church on Santa Cruz’s West Side, has spent many days frustrated with the limits of our county’s mental health options—both within the county system and outside of it. He remembers a man who came into his office six months ago looking for help dealing with alcohol issues. DeFields-

Gambrel spent hours making phone calls on his behalf, over three days. “I made phone calls to Washington, D.C. and to Sacramento, as well as to every treatment program I could find locally,� he says. “Finally, someone at one of the treatment programs told me confidentially, ‘You’re not going to get this guy medically supervised detoxification in Santa Cruz County. It’s not going to happen. Take him to Monterey, to the community hospital, and dump him in their parking lot, and they might admit him for detox. But it won’t happen here.’� DeFields-Gambrel understands that mental health workers in Santa Cruz are scrambling to help as many people as they can. “They’re just woefully underfunded. There aren’t enough of them, there aren’t enough beds, and there aren’t enough slots in treatment programs,� he says. Potentially, some of the people falling through the cracks will be caught in January. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Rogers-Wyman expects 10,000-12,000 people in the county will be newly eligible for MediCal— the insurance required to qualify for county mental health services. “How many of those individuals have mental health conditions that will be able to receive services?� she wonders, “I don’t know. But I’m hopeful.� But others say the Santa Cruz community has even bigger issues to deal with. “My sense is right now we’re questioning as a community whether we should be tolerant or not. It seems like for some people, there’s an underlying notion that people that are outside the norm are dangerous,� says Metz, the therapist.

The banner read, in giant red letters: “Mental Health facility not welcome here.� This was two years ago, when Second Story House, one of a dozen community support services operated by the Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center (SCCCC), rented a house on Rio Del Mar in Aptos. Darcy Townsend, a counselor at Second Story, says the community “went ballistic.� There were several banners

throughout the neighborhood, and on the rooftops of the houses down in the valley. Then there was a community meeting, where the residents got to voice their concerns. Townsend remembers residents saying things like: “You people need to be watched.â€? “You people need to be medicated.â€? “I won’t be able to let my children play outside.â€? She shakes her head as she thinks about it now at the house Second Story eventually found on Emeline Avenue. A pair of counselors bake sugar cookies in the kitchen of the fourbedroom respite house while Journey plays on the radio in the background: “Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues‌â€?

People with mental health challenges are more likely to be victims of a violent crime than to hurt others. “Because it’s a very moneyed area, they were willing to lawyer up quick,� she says. “The county caved. We were funded to run the program, not fight stigma—that was the bottom line I heard from people back then.�

Next Level After getting up and running in its current location, Second Story House has gone on to offer what many are calling the next wave of treatment for people with mental health challenges. It is called trauma-informed care, and it is the philosophy touted by the entirely peer-run MHCAN. Based on the paradigm-changing

1996 Adverse Childhood Experiences study, trauma-informed care is a response to findings that a majority of adults with mental health diagnoses suffered abuse, neglect or other forms of trauma in their childhoods—the effects of which can linger for decades. As a result, care and treatment should be informed by a person’s traumatic experiences. Trauma-informed care means asking, “What happened?� rather than, “What’s wrong with you?� It means that if a person had a traumatic experience of being held captive in a locked room, they are not put in solitary confinement. It means that if they were held down and abused, they should not be strapped down in a hospital. “So people don’t get triggered, so they feel safe,� says MHCAN’s Leonard. Primarily, trauma-informed care is about safety, she says. “It’s about safety and choice, as defined by the person having the experience,� says Townsend, who applauds the county for writing the federal grant that eventually

funded Second Story, and believes we are heading in a direction of more collaborative care. Still, one of the main tenets of trauma-informed care is choice, and in Santa Cruz, it is county case workers who decide which treatment programs a person will be funneled into. Mental health clients can also request specific services or programs, says Rogers-Wyman, but it is unclear how much input they actually have. Says Sylvia Beard-Blan, a county mental health client and active volunteer at the peer-run MHCAN, “It was hard for me to get what I needed without having someone advocate for me.� Rather than clients getting to create a treatment program based on what they see as their own needs, “most places want to make a program for you.� This kind of approach can lead to distrust, says Townsend: “If you start telling me what I can and cannot do—forget it. I don’t want your help. It doesn’t look like help to me anymore, it looks like you telling me what to do.�

Thin Line The challenge of improving the mental health landscape truly does affect everyone, as the people facing such issues can be just about anybody. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that about one in four Americans over 18 will have a “diagnosable mental disorder� in any given year. “Your best friend could have a condition that you don’t even know about. Or your mom, or your sister. Half the people you work with,� says Loren Crabb, a peer group leader with NAMI who has been diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder. “I know a lot of people that are totally functional work-wise. They go to work. They hold down jobs for years, but yet they’re crying uncontrollably all the time. They’re in the bathroom for literally an hour washing their hands until their hands are rubbed raw and bleeding.� Being open about our experiences and limits, and those of others, could go a long way towards creating a more compassionate community, says Interim Mental Health Director Khalsa.

TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES Carol Williamson, president of Santa Cruz’s chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, lost her son Nate to suicide following a psychotic break he sufered in his late teens.

“One of the things that makes it hard for people to get help is the shame factor that our culture has put on anyone raising their hand and saying, ‘You know, I think I have something going on and I’m not able to manage it,’� says says. “And I think as a culture we need to let that stuff go. And we will be much healthier for it.� Having a number of celebrities, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jean-Claude Van Damme, “come out� with bipolar disorder in recent years has helped to ease the stigma of mental health, and representations of those with mental health challenges in the entertainment industry are slowly becoming more accessible, too. “I think our society is moving to be more accepting of individuals that are different,� says NAMI’s Williamson. “I was happy to see the movie Silver Linings Playbook [about characters with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and other issues]. It was really well done, and we need more of that. In all kinds of media, you see more about disabilities and about quirky people still being appreciated. But we have a long ways to go.� Pastor DeFields-Gambrel says the people he knows who have struggled with addiction and mental health are the ones who have taught him the most in life—because they learned to accept limitations: “I can do this; I can’t do that. I can control this; I can’t control that. Extraordinary wisdom comes from that. The wisdom of knowing what the problem really is,� he says. “They have taught me more about spirituality than I ever learned in seminary or church.� Bernard, whose voices come, these days, as more of a unified entity, says he considers them spirits. With acceptance, he was able to transform them into a positive influence in his life, he says. His doctor now refers to them as “angels.� His friends call them “The Committee.� “They are always are working towards building a better character for me,� says Bernard. “If my thoughts get a little bit out there, they bring it back in and make sure I don’t do something unethical. They’re always that moral backbone—no yielding. I’ve got to be as good as I can. They’re a moral compass in a lot of ways. They keep me always on a path of empowerment, both for myself and the community. That’s kind of what they do.� 0

ALLISON MILLER

SPIRITUALIZED

LARA PRICE BLUES BAND

E-40

A powerhouse of percussion, New York-based drummer Allison Miller can play any type of music that’s thrown at her. She’s played with top-tier musicians including Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant and Ani DiFranco and is listed among the great contemporary jazz drummers. She’s also a teacher, composer, singer and jazz ambassador. Basically, she’s a musical badass with chops to boot. Her band Boom Tic Boom (one of many outfits she plays with) is made up of ace musicians and has a reputation for pushing the experimental edge while maintaining balance, control and a deep sense of groove. Kuumbwa; $20 adv/$23 door; 7pm. (Cat Johnson)

It’s obvious at this point that a real Spacemen 3 reunion is never going to happen— supposedly Jason Pierce and Peter Kember haven’t spoken even once since the band broke up in the early ’90s. Pierce’s spinoff band Spiritualized took on all the band members except Kember, who started Spectrum. It also took up the musical legacy, more or less—droning synth, echoing vocals, a sound as drowsy and fuzzy as the name of their most famous song, “Medication,� implies. Cocoanut Grove; $28; 9pm.

The journey of this five-piece rootsy blues band all started one day in 1998 when Lara Price stepped foot into the weekly blues jam at JJ’s Blues in San Jose. A year after forming in 1999 they were playing at the Monterey Blues Festival and have since shared the bill with legendary musicians such as Etta James and James Brown. Five albums in, Price is not only the leading lady, she is also producing, co-writing, playing drums and guitars—and, of course, singing. Her sultry stage presence and smoky vocals are perfectly paired, and backed by some of the Bay Area’s finest blues musicians. Moe’s Alley; $10 adv/$15 door; 8:30pm. (Melanie Ware)

Last summer, E-40, long one of the East Bay’s most popular underground rappers, decided that the city of Mountain View was conspiring to keep him off the bill for Rock the Bells at Shoreline. City officials were like, “That shit cray! We’re keeping it real up in here. E-40 is a Bay Area treasure, and we vigorously deny these accusation while we chill in our new stunnas, digging his classic slumpers.� Well, something to that effect, anyway. Really, can you blame them for wanting to make nice with the guy who wrote “Don’t be talkin’ under yo breath, cause that might be the cause of your death�? Catalyst; $25/$30; 9pm. (Steve Palopoli)

In 1975, Eric Idle of Monty Python created a fictional band called Toad the Wet Sprocket, something so ridiculous that no one would want to use it. Well, 11 years later, four indecisive teenagers from San Marcos jokingly adopted the name for a gig, with no intention of it sticking. Now, after breaking up in 1998 and then getting together for a series of on and off gigs and mini tours,Toad the Wet Sprocket are officially reunited, finishing up a new album and with a full-length tour.Their quintessential alternative rock sound kept many fans hopeful that the nowmiddle-aged performers would reconnect for good.

from underground and have proved that punk is more than rebellion and mohawks. Their Celtic influenced songs have become pump-up anthems of Boston sports teams and have also been featured in three different Academy Awardnominated films. Even though their band member history is a blur of swapping in and out—they’ve had 14 different members over the last 17 years while retaining only one original member, bassist Ken Casey—their energy has remained a constant. They have progressed as musicians, and are no longer a group of punk kids, but rather a group of musicians with a coveted sound: a trash-can kicking, people-pushing, “mobbing about with a flask of whisky tucked into your shirt pocket� kind of sound.

At this point, the Skatalites are as much a movement or an institution as they are a band. Words like “pioneers� and “originators� are rightfully thrown around to describe this outfit that laid the foundation of Jamaica’s first truly original music, and the group’s longevity has only solidified its reputation. With roots stretching back to 1964, the Skatalites are the first name in first wave ska. Alumni of the band include Jackie Mittoo, Tommy McCook, Don Drummond and many others who went on to have celebrated careers in music. The current incarnation of the band is led by saxophonist Lester Sterling, who was one of the founding members of the group. Moe’s Alley; $20 adv/$25 door; 9pm. (CJ)

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).

F

ans of The Walking Dead will appreciate the scene outside the Del Mar next Sunday, around noon. That’s when the 12-hour Secret Film Festival will finally grind to a halt, spitting out a couple hundred bleary-eyed film fans who have just seen a marathon of films, without knowing in advance what even one of them was going to be. It’s a vision festival organizer Scott Griffin has seen many times now, this being the eighth year of the film fest. “That’s one of my favorite parts, seeing everybody spill out onto the street at noon, in their pajamas and blankets,� he says. Oh yes, lots of fans wear their pajamas to the Secret Film Festival, and bring blankets to cozy themselves up in. In fact, it’s a lot like bedtime, if bedtime were ruled by film geeks. So why do they do it? Speaking as someone who has been to the festival many times, but made it all the way from midnight Saturday to noon Sunday not even once, I am completely unqualified to answer this question. Thanks to the ludicrously low $15 admission, one has gotten a full return on their investment after just a film and a half. The next four and a half, as I see it, are pure gravy. And yet, every year most of the audience stays for the whole thing. “I think there’s a little bit of a

competitive quality, to be able to say ‘I watched the whole fucking thing,’� says Griffin. Maybe, but maybe they’re also staying around for the raffle, which he infuriatingly holds at the end? His excuse: “It’s a little bit of closure.� I also enjoy closure, as in closure of my eyes, but I am clearly in the minority here. Every year, the films are a wild mix of genres, not at all the fanboy genre blitzkrieg one might expect. Griffin is especially proud of some of the wild shifts in tone, which started off right from year one with the gentle arthouse drama The Squid and the Whale (it hadn’t been released yet, which is true of many of the films and part of the reason for the top-secret factor) followed by the over-the-top cult classic Oldboy. The tradition continues this year with a wide range of genres. Last year, Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America and the hockey comedy Goon (known to fans by the shorthand “the next Slap Shot�) were two hard-to-find gems featured at the festival. For Griffin, the bottom line is simple: “The idea is you’re getting a complete film festival, compressed into the middle of the night.�—Steve Palopoli

films than his debut American Pie allowed anyone to expect. This time around, he teams two heroes of geek culture, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, for a comedy about an uptight Princeton admissions officer (played by—oh, c’mon, guess who!) whose life is shaken up by a devil-may-care alternative school principal (again, guess who) and a student who might be the son she gave up for adoption. BEYOND THE HILLS (NR; 150 min.) Friends since their Romanian orphanage days, Alina and Voichita have been lovers for years. Alina moves to Germany to escape poverty but finds a big surprise when she returns. THE CALL (R; 100 mi.) Brad Anderson, the director of two very trippy, Twilight Zonetype films (Session 9 and The Machinist), helms this story of a 911 operator (Halle Berry) who gets way too involved with her job after getting a call from a girl who’s been abducted. THE CROODS (PG; 98 min) Sort of like The Flintstones for the deconstructionist 21st century, this animated family flick has a prehistoric clan leaving the safety of their cave for the proverbial incredible journey. With lots of hip modern references of course, and Nick Cage as father Grug. EVIL DEAD (R; 91 min.) Staying in a remote cabin, five friends discover The Book of the Dead and unwittingly summon demons living in the nearby woods. Oops. The fight for survival is on. G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (PG-13; 110 min.) For this sequel to the original G.I. Joe movie you already forgot happened, the producers hired the director of the Step Up movies and the writers of Zombieland. Nobody saw that coming, that’s for sure. The cast of Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum and RZA, however, suggests more of the original’s almostas-lifelike-as-the-toys approach. GINGER & ROSA (PG-13; 90 min.) The year is 1962. Ginger and Rosa, inseparable teenage friends living in London, watch the world and their friendship change as the Cuban Missile Crisis looms. THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE (PG-13; 107 min) Building on Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s Mediocre American Man trilogy (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stepbrothers), Steve Carrell fashions his own

over-the-top character in the form of Burt Wonderstone, an egotistical superstar illusionist desperate to stay in the limelight. JACK AND THE GIANT SLAYER 3D (PG-13; 114 min.): The classic tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk” is revisited with the tagline “If you think you know the story, you don’t know jack.” In this version, Jack climbs a towering vine, not in search of treasure, but in an attempt to save a kingdom, and its princess. JURASSIC PARK 3D (PG-13; 127 min.) Jeff Goldblum runs around a dinosaur-filled park screaming in excitement that he has finally reached the peak of his career. Enjoy that while it lasts. ON THE ROAD Director Walter Salles (of Motorcycle Diaries fame) adapts Jack Kerouac’s beat classic. 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? THE SILENCE (NR; 118 min.) A detective disturbed by an unsolved murder from 23 years ago gets some new clues and the help of a young ambitious officer in this German film. 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 writerdirector Perry’s latest story about a married woman tempted into an affair with a billionaire—and the fallout. UPSIDE DOWN (PG-13; 100 min.) For 10 years Adam has loved Eden, who lives in a twinned world, where gravity pulls in the opposite direction (a great excuse when someone doubts your long-distance girlfriend is real). Desperate, he begins a dangerous quest to reconnect with her.

Spirits of Spring BY CHRISTINA WATERS

O

swald OMG: A seasonal appetizer of Dungeness crab and avocado knocked me out last week with its balance of buttery rich avocado and sparkling fresh, sweet crab. The dish arrived as a double stack of pale green and citrus-inflected white crab meat. A disk of cheese cracker topped the lovely creation and a rosette of diced, candied kumquat proved the magic ingredient. Feisty enough to eat all by itself, this savvy “garnish� brought all the flavors to full throttle. Lamb’s ear lettuce— tender in its infancy— joined the crab, and a calligraphic

spiral of balsamic reduction added yet another flavor top note. Ridiculously wonderful! Where? At Oswald, packed on Easter weekend and full of a lively crowd—major cocktail scene from 7pm on—everybody oblivious to outside traffic. If you think of Oswald as an urban setting, you can quickly get right into the hum of things. And the kitchen continued to score big with our entrees, one of a freshly-constructed seafood stew long on mussels, crab, scallops and sumptuous Arctic char—all liberally laced with fennel— and another

of sliced, pink pork tenderloin on a bed of fingerling potatoes and topped with a toasted cheese cauliflower and wild nettle blintz. Powerful chemistry of flavors in this dish, and the perfectly cooked pork was utterly, well, what pork should be but rarely is. A warm almond custard torte, strewn with toasted almonds, topped with housemade ice cream and surrounded by a pool of cappuccino sauce finished us off. If you haven’t stopped by Oswald lately, get over there and remind yourself why this modest landmark
