Currents CALL WAITING A garden view of the downtown Boulder Creek site where Verizon plans to put a 50-foot cell tower, as represented by the pole and flags.

Tower Defense

Boulder Creek residents are fighting Verizon’s plan for a cell phone tower downtown BY GEORGIA PERRY

unset Magazine once called Boulder Creek “absurdly rural,” and many of its residents are none too happy that urban living may soon muscle its way into their landscape, in the form of a 50-foot tall cell phone tower. Verizon Wireless has plans to construct the tower in downtown Boulder Creek— disguised as a pine tree set among the stunning panorama of redwood trees—in order to accommodate smart phone users’ greater demand for bandwidth. In its current scheduled location, the tower will be visible from Big Basin Highway and Highway 9,

“which is where everyone turns to go visit Big Basin Park,” says 35-yearold Boulder Creek resident Rachel Wooster. “It will impact our tourists. It will impact our economy. It will impact our businesses.” Residents are concerned that the tower will decrease the values of their homes and emit harmful radiation. “They say [the tower] is going to blend into the trees. These monopines are bluish in their needle color, so when they are placed right in front of [real] trees they’re actually going stand out more because they’re going to appear a different color,” says Wooster. She has spearheaded

a petition opposing the tower, signed up 340 residents (roughly 5 percent of Boulder Creek’s population) and led dozens of locals to hearings this summer, in an attempt to urge Verizon to choose another location for the tower. Locals have even created a list of nine other suggested locations for the tower. Wooster, a professional nanny who has taken up the cause because her 21-month old godson would eventually go to an elementary school she believes is too close to the proposed cell tower, has spent countless hours researching and compiling reports on the subject

since she learned about the tower in July. She says she has been frustrated by missing documents and errors in reports put together by the Santa Cruz County Planning Department, an agency she believes isn’t taking the matter seriously enough. Frank Barron, Land Use Planner at the Santa Cruz County Planning Department, says that according to federal law, county agencies are not allowed to regulate against cell phone towers based on radiation. Rather, the county would only be able to deny the permit for the cell phone tower based on aesthetics. “There are some people who think that there are health effects, that’s why they make a big deal about it, but there hasn’t been any scientific studies that have been verified that prove they have health effects,” says Barron, who calls Wooster “a very conscientious and very active citizen” but adds, “She has some time on her hands.” “I don't think [Barron] likes me holding his work accountable or pointing out the errors in his report,” counters Wooster. “It just became very apparent to me that the county wasn’t exactly doing what it was supposed to be doing.” Verizon is currently exploring other locations for towers, says Heidi Flato, a public relations officer for Verizon. But from the company’s perspective, the current site is still the best option, she says. “The proposed site contains a relatively flat, undeveloped space that has access, and utilities at the end of town near an existing grove of trees. The location is ideal to provide the desired coverage [and] capacity from a radio engineering perspective,” she says. Another hearing will take place Friday, Sept. 20 in front of County Zoning Administrator Eric Marlatt and if, the tower is approved at the Sept. 20 hearing, Boulder Creek residents have the option to appeal the decision to the Planning Commission, and then to the County Board of Supervisors, who will have the final decision.0

EVERTON BLENDER

BEN GOLDBERG

IAMSU

AL STEWART

Jazz clarinetist Ben Goldberg has some nice feathers in his cap. He was named a rising star of the clarinet in Downbeat magazine’s Critics' Poll, and the guitarist for his latest project, Unfold Ordinary Mind, is none other that the multi-faceted Nels Cline from Wilco. Oh, yeah, and he’s a UCSC graduate. His band, which also includes saxophonists Ellery Eskelin and Rob Sudduth, plus drummer Ches Smith, is a diverse, cross-genre group that moves in unexpected and engaging musical directions. Kuumbwa; $20 adv/$23 door; 7pm. (Cat Johnson)

Possibly one of the most promising reincarnations of Yay Area rap, IAMSU is “Goin’ Up.”The 23-year old rapper and record producer, born Sudan Ahmeer William, has proven himself a young champion of that distinct Richmond sound, having collaborated twice with Wiz Khalifa as well as E-40 and Juvenile. While his lyrics might sound like what you’d expect a 23year old to rap about, IAMSU considers himself more low-key. He’s doing a pretty god job of stackin’ his broccoli, but as the chorus to “Father God” explains, he honors his humble roots and is still just praying to God to get by. With the thousand-dollar sneaks, of course. Catalyst; 9pm; $22 adv/$27 door. (AMH)

With the quintessential shoulder-length floppy bob and groovy bell-bottomed jeans, Al Stewart declared 1976 to be “The Year of the Cat.” Thirty-seven years later, he’s still crooning the same hit, just with a little less hair and better-fitting jeans. Today, he’s got 22 albums to choose from and still maintains that velvety, light-‘n’-folky Stewart sound. A regular visitor to the Billboard Hot 100, Stewart knew Yoko Ono before John Lennon, shared a flat with Paul Simon before his big break and released the first mainstream album with the f-bomb in it. The guy was cool before cool was cool. Don Quixote’s; 8pm; $20 adv/$25door. (AMH)

Everton Blender is what you want to hear when you listen to reggae. He’s been singing forever, and has the Lifetime Achievement awards to prove it. Since 1979, Blender’s given the world multiple hit songs that have become some of the most loved rootsreggae anthems of all time, spreading light and soul from Jamaica to all four corners of the globe. Dedicated to the message of Jah, Blender’s music is meant to inspire, to lift you up. And it does, in a way that only his smooth, hopeful vocals can. Moe’s Alley; 9pm; $12 adv/$15 door. (Anne-Marie Harrison)

JIMMY Y EAT E WORLD D After finding commercial ercial success in 2001 with songs likee "Th "The Middle,"" it was he Middle, uncertain just where re thiss four-piece four-piece from from Arizona could go.

MIDLAKE AKE E Midlake is a stylistic enigm enigma. ma. Formed in Denton, Texas in 1999 by a handful andfu ul of jjazz musicians, the band’s debut album bum was w a psychedelicinspired, experimental-fuzz tal-fuzz outing that garnered them comparisons parisoons to Radiohead. Subsequent releasess left the t psych stuff behind to explore 1970s pop-rock p-rockk styles in the vein of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Laurel nd YYoung oung and other Laur el Canyon regulars. A glimpse limpsse of the cover of 2010’s The Courage of Others, Oth thers, however however,r, would lead one to believe that the hat th he band, sporting hooded robes and all,l, wass a druid-emulating, freak-folk outfit. So who are a e these guys? ar Despite the stylistic migr migration, a , Midlake is, at its ation, core, a group of multi-faceted ti-faceted musicians who follow their collectivee mus muse se wherever wherever it may go.

Having been too young to see them em in their mid-'80s heyday, I always lumped ped them in with the other poppy synth bands ands of the time.

BATTLE OF THE YEAR (PG-13; 109 min) Josh Holloway and Laz Alonso star in this music pic about how Americans can’t stand not winning stuff, specifically in this case an international battle between dance teams. (Opens Fri at Green Valley) PRISONERS (R; 153 min) Hugh Jackman stars in this crime drama about a father who begins considering extreme options as police fail to find his missing daughter and time could very well be running out. (Opens Fri at 41st, Cinelux Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

THANKS FOR SHARING (R; 112 min) Romantic comedy has a unique twist, in that its three main characters are struggling with sex addiction. Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins and Gwyneth Paltrow star. (Opens Fri at Del Mar)

Reviews BLUE JASMINE (PG-13; 98 min) If Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Louis C.K. and Andrew Dice Clay are in a movie together, you know either the apocalypse is going down, or there’s a new Woody Allen film. His neverending movie tour of the world’s great cities has finally

stopped in San Francisco, to which Blanchett’s character Jasmine escapes after her life gets a seismic shake up. THE BUTLER (Pg-13; 132 min) Forrest Whitaker stars as a butler in the White House who gets to meet Oprah. CLOSED CIRCUIT (R; 96 min) Paranoia flicks keep trying to make a comeback, but it just never quite happens. The poster for this one has the tagline “They See Your Every Move,” with Eric Bana looking nervous. Is he worried someone will accidentally stumble across his crappy Hulk movie?

case, which would be all well and good if the opposing lawyer (played by Rebecca Hall) wasn’t his former lover. When things start to point to a cover up, you have to hope this sentence ends before giving away spoilers. DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG; 98 min.) How often is the most anticipated film of the summer an animated movie? That isn’t made by Pixar? Right, and yet the first movie was the movie that was more than just a big moneymaker. It also bubbled up from nowhere on the cultural radar, with fans watching it over and over with the same kind of passion normally reserved for a Nolan Batman flick. The main characters—Steve

Carell as former supervillain Gru, Miranda Cosgrove as Margo, Russell Brand as Dr. Nefario, etc.—are all back in this story of what happens when world leaders call upon Gru’s expertise to defeat a new villain. DRINKING BUDDIES (R; 90 min) Indie rom-com has Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson as brewery workers in other relationships with other people. Their boundaries get blurry while their speech gets slurry. ELYSIUM Neill Blomkamp, director of the refreshingly smart sci-fi flick District 9, goes full-on big-budget Hollywood action for this story set in 2154 about Matt Damon doomed to a

bleak life on a broken-down Earth overrun by crime and disease. (I kinda feel like Ben Affleck deserved it more, but whatever.) When he needs a miracle cure, he infiltrates Elysium, a giant space-station to which the elite have escaped. THE FAMILY (R) French director Luc Besson directed and co-wrote this dark crime comedy that stars Robert DeNiro and Michelle Pfeiffer as the heads of a mafia family that gets re-located to France as part of the Witness Protection Program, but have trouble giving up their old ways. “Are vous talking to moi? Zer is no one else he-uh!” THE GETAWAY (PG-13) Wait, Ethan Hawke gets a comeback? And now he’s playing a race-car driver named Brent Magna? Okay, that makes sense. In this thriller, Brent Magna’s wife is kidnapped, and then he has to drive around places for reasons, and Selena Gomez plays some girl whose car he steals who just happens to be a whiz-kid computer hacker. This is all true, except the part about it making sense. INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 (PG-13; 105 min) When we last saw the Lambert family, they were pretty screwed (spoiler alert!). The original Saw team of director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell returns for a second installment of their surprise horror hit that was pretty much the anti-Saw—all mood and psychological heebie-jeebies, with none of the Jigsaw grisliness. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES (PG-13; 130 min) Cassandra Clare’s popular young adult series gets a film adaptation, with a young emo cast straight out of Twilight central casting. But this is nothing like Twilight, we swear, because see it’s about demons, not vampires. And yes, there are magical people who fight the demons, but it’s nothing like Harry Potter, we swear. For instance, in Harry Potter people who don’t know about the supernatural world are called Muggles, but here they’re called Mundanes. ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US (PG; 92 min) Boy band music documentary may very likely be mistaken for an instructional driving film by anyone over 15. THE PATIENCE STONE (R; 102 min) In an occurrence roughly as likely as seeing a

unicorn, Afghan writer Atiq Rahimi gets to actually direct the adaptation of his own novel, based on a Persian fable about a magic stone in which one can confide all problems. The stone, this time, is a man in war-torn Afghanistan. When a bullet in the neck reduces him to a vegetative state, his wife begins to confide in him all the things that would otherwise go unsaid. PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG; 106 min) Oh, it’s on! Nerds everywhere are already filling Internet message boards with fabulously uninteresting debates about whether Percy Jackson is better than Harry Potter. This is the second PJ adaptation, featuring Percy and company on a quest to find the Golden Fleece. PLANES (G; 92 min.) This spin-off of Cars was originally supposed to go directto-video, but apparently theatrical audiences can’t get enough of kids’ movies about things that long to do other things, but can’t because of reasons, but then do. So here you go. RIDDICK (R; 119 min) At the turn of the century, David Twohy’s Pitch Black was a new kind of sci-fi thrill: an Alien rip-off with none of the grit and grime that those movies obsessed over. Instead, it had a slick, comic-book sensibility and Vin Diesel at his badassest. Unfortunately, the 2004 sequel Chronicles of Riddick kind of overplayed those comic-book aspects, wrapping Vin Diesel’s character up in a space-opera plot. Nobody thought the would-be franchise would ever recover; weirdly, Diesel himself was the guy who provided the muscle to get this new sequel made. He and Twohy fought for it for years, and almost a decade later, this threequel is kind of a mix of the first two films— grounding the action again on a single planet, where Diesel has to face off against nasty aliens, but including a subplot that has Riddick threatened by his past. WE’RE THE MILLERS (R; 110 min.) Filling the no-doubt massive audience demand to see the last vestiges of their ’90s innocence ruined by seeing Jennifer Aniston play a stripper, this comedy stars Jason Sudeikis as a pot dealer who enlists a random group of weirdos to be his fake family so he can smuggle drugs in from Mexico.

The Rebirth of Modernism With a hot chef and cool jazz, Aquarius is the place to be on Thursdays BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he trio working expertly through jazz improvs and sultry bossa nova had us from the first riff. The view outside flaunted an array of late-in-the-day sunbathers, foamy white surf and the splendor of the Boardwalk's Casino turning gold in the setting sun. We were at Aquarius to sample the reinvented American cuisine by new executive chef Craig Mattox, on what was to be a memorable and romantic evening. Everything about our dinner on the new Steak & Jazz Thursday at Aquarius was deliciously retro. From decor to food, the evening was a glamorous

revival of modernism. Clear ideas, boldly presented, with no irony or ethnic fusion. The generously spaced interior, with sculptural lighting and extremely comfortable chairs, seemed in complete accord with the mood and menu. Very sixties, with cool jazz morphing into Diana Krall and Sinatra standards, and on to Astrud Gilberto. Every inch the understated resort that it is, the Dream Inn flatters its guests with the best panorama in town. The smooth concept extended from the music—romantic and sophisticated—to the menu, an

unapologetic re-think of the steakhouse concept, strong on locally sourced seasonal vegetables and the inventive touch of chef Mattox, whose career began at the Hyde Park Culinary Institute, and continued on to top kitchens in Boston, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and most recently Tender Greens, an organic restaurant in Los Angeles. Generous pours of Kathryn Kennedy Lateral and Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon helped us do justice to the menu. Just watching the changing hues reflected in the waves of Cowell Beach made for blissful meditation, and it didn't take long for us to give in to the spell. A salad of iceberg wedges,

atop sliced yellow and red heirloom tomatoes, with dice of pancetta and rich bleu cheese accents was a terrific starter. Cabaret standards turned to sensuous bossa nova, and our dinner grew pleasantly romantic. An entree of pan seared duck breast atop a pool of artisanal peach marmalade was partnered with exceptional local chard, laced with slices of toasted garlic. We were both impressed with the glistening emerald chard, coaxed to new flavor depths by Mattox's kitchen. Another sparkling entree of local albacore reinforced the chef's point—the dish is a complete creation, not simply a main item with a few afterthoughts. A pretty "hash" of roasted fennel, bell pepper and potatoes, joined by bits of fresh crab in a crab broth, formed the platform for the moist albacore. This was as fine a seafood dish as I've had in Santa Cruz for many years. Living up to the "Steak & Jazz" billing, our New York Strip, with its accompanying sauce Béarnaise, was another moment of retro intelligence. This classic French sauce knows how to romance a good piece of beef, and so did we, along with roasted tri-color cauliflower and, yes, baked potato with sour cream and chives. A pristine ocean view, smooth jazz, a gathering of time-honored, yet reinvented American culinary ideas—this dining room has it all. Plus, it's a perfect place (the jazz Thursday concept) to discover, or remember, romance. The sensitivity to vegetables and the straight-ahead treatment of steak, seafood and poultry give this Aquarius menu staying power, rather than momentary diversion. Chef Mattox's menu isn't a tricky critique of modernism, it is modernism. Pure, clear flavors are the point here. Incredibly delicious. The only other thing I would have liked last Thursday was a dance floor. Bossa nova always does that to me. AQUARIUS is downstairs in the Dream Inn, 175 West Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz.

SEA CHANGE Bill Hongmanee has opened Sawasdee By the Sea, a second location of his successful Soquel Thai spot.

Bill Hongmanee Co-owner, Sawasdee By the Sea

early a decade ago, Bill Hongmanee and his wife Dee opened Sawasdee in Soquel, offering authentic Thai cuisine to the people of Santa Cruz County in a fine dining setting. Just five months ago, they opened a second location, Sawasdee by the Sea, which is located in Santa Cruz on West Cliff, near Pacific Ave. We caught up with Bill to ask him about the new restaurant. SCW: Your newest ‘by the sea’ location has a nice ocean view. What else is different there? It has a slightly different menu, but mainly, we

have full bar. Only a few items that we have there that we don’t have over here [in Soquel]. I can’t remember which ones, to be honest. Speaking of which, you have a big menu. What do you recommend for first-timers? Usually we like to see what they like to eat. Then we will tell them

what’s popular. The fresh spring rolls, that’s our number one appetizer. That’s served with peanut dressing. Then the papaya salad. That is a traditional Thai salad, very popular in Thailand. That dressing goes well with the fresh spring roll dressing. Then the next one that I would tell them is the hot and sour soup with coconut milk, which is Tom Kha. It is very popular. After the soup, I tell my customers that we do very good curry. The curry dishes are excellent. We don’t exactly recommend or push anything, we just tell them what’s popular. And we like to know what they like. People seem to be raving about your Pad Thai. Why is that? Our Pad

Thai is very authentic. We sell lots and lots of Pad Thai. What makes it authentic? First of all, the noodles must not be too soft. The sauce must not have a lot of it on the dish. Some people like a lot of sauce, which I do not recommend. Being authentic on the Pad Thai is that the sauce is a little bit sweet and a little bit sour. And the sour is from the lemon juice. What’s your favorite dish off the menu? For myself, I like fish with the curry. I eat all the curries here. The fish in the curries are great. The thing that I like is Sawasdee Fish, which is trout. The fish is deep-fried, and the sauce is on the side. I love eating fish.

Sawasdee By the Sea is at 101 Main St. in Santa Cruz. The original Sawasdee is at 5050 Soquel Dr., Soquel. —Aaron Carnes
