letters Kudos to Mountain Xpress How sad it is when a respected publication is forced to defend its decision to allow space to an advertiser with an opposing viewpoint. How pathetic that Virginia Bower felt "absolute horror" and was "appalled" that this fine publication had the integrity to allow advertising space to those that dare to disagree with her [“Et Tu, Xpress?”

Oct. 3]. How misguided she is to insinuate her heavy-handed approach upon your other advertisers.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, along came Abby McDonough's trivialization of the freedom of speech that we are so fortunate to enjoy in this great country [“I'm Taking a Break From Xpress,” Oct. 10].

I suppose that this central tenet of American society only matters when the opinions expressed are similar to her own. I sincerely hope that the pitiful perspectives of these two writers are not representative of most progressive-leaning people, or anyone for that matter. If so, it would tragically signify a true degradation of our society. If not, they have only embarrassed themselves.

Spiritual growth is easy

sexology, business models and the usually implicit GOP white-bread dogma, what remains are rhetorical statements which are supposed to pass for opinion or expertise, or something to print as artificial eloquence.

I understand the “seven deadlies” to be wrath, greed, sloth, pride (excluding positive self-esteem and self-worth), lust, envy and gluttony. I know that each of these seven have counterparts which are inversely related. Thus lust is countered by chastity, sloth by diligence, wrath by patience, envy by kindness and pride by humility.

A Buddhist colleague offered her take on “The Seven Deadly Social Sins,” which are offered here as a meditation for Carl. These are: “Politics without principle, wealth without work, commerce without morality, pleasure without conscience, education without character, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice.” ...

Unlike the seven deadlies, which impact upon individual virtue, the seven socials impact the quality of existence for everyone on our planet.

Indeed, the seven deadlies strike at the heart and soul of Mumpower’s covert political agenda as a tea bagging, Grand Obstructionist Party, right-wing, conservative (whatever that means) religious dogmatist. …

When all else fails, attack, marginalize, defame or kill the messenger, as Mumpower attempts to criticize the freedom of the press. ... Mumpower writes as Asheville’s own native Don Quixote, forever jousting and tilting at windmills of his own archaic misperceptions of a reality he alone understands. Mumpower’s misguided criticisms of Mountain Xpress confirm this much. ...

Xpress is staffed by dedicated professional journalists and staff, many of whom are recognized statewide for excellence, relevance and accuracy and truth in reporting. Compared with the corporate, out-of-town-managed Asheville Citizen-Times, and the Asheville Tribune, which is actually run by Republican interests, Xpress has, over the years, positioned itself as the sine qua non publication in this city for the 21st century, second to none. Thus each Wednesday’s publication is a special day to celebrate our town, and more importantly, to be reminded that “We the People,” all of us, have the power of our vote to chart our own future, solve our own problems and to do our best in making ours a more perfect, all-inclusive union together.

It’s getting harder to read a paper around here without being nagged by Carl Mumpower.

Clearly a man with too much time on his hands after being turned out of local government, he is becoming the print equivalent of a corner street preacher. I presume that local papers keep publishing his missives only to prove that Asheville remains tolerant, even of intolerant nags. We know, and Carl knows, that we have heard his message (“liberals bad, source of all evil, will destroy country”) many times, and that it will change our behavior not one iota. But yet he persists. I guess he just can’t help it.

He does demonstrate some truth in his assertion that liberalism is a prime cause of hostility in society, because he is certainly hostile to it. And I know that he is not alone in this; he speaks for a large number of sour old white guys, and perhaps for some women, who remain unaware they would probably not own the right to vote if men like Carl had been running the country. It’s been a long time since only white male landowners could vote or sit on juries, and we will not be going back there, despite the nostalgia felt by

many conservatives for the good old days.

Hopefully, we will continue to progress toward equal rights and opportunities for all persons, using government to ensure that, just as was promised in the preamble to the Constitution.

And reactionary, old sourpusses will continue to gripe that leveling the playing field constitutes a giveaway of their rights to dominate others, and is leading to a nation of sniveling, greedy dependents. I just hate to have to read that tripe every time I look at the opinion pages.

But at least it gets me up off the couch, to respond with missives of my own. I guess that’s a good thing.

thanKs for the rush, a.r.t.

Thank you so much, Asheville Ruins Transit, for moving the Merrimon Avenue stop near my house to the other side of Hillside Street. Less than two weeks and I've already experienced my first exciting run-in with those drivers who think a right turn on red is always appropriate — but especially so when there's a pedestrian in the crosswalk.

I'm sure I'll have many similar fun adventures in the future, given how common those drivers are. We all need a little more adrenaline in our lives, right?

biKe lanes MaKe roads safer for everybody As I am one of the many bicycle commuters in Asheville, I was elated when I noticed them repaving the section of Meadow Road between Amboy and Victoria roads. Surely this repaving would include a bike lane. This section is a major thoroughfare for trucks, cars, buses and, yes, me on my bike five days a week.

TASTE THE DELECTABLE CHANGES

for other Molton cartoons, visit www.MountainX.coM/cartoons

I was more than a little disappointed to find that they basically paved it back just the way it was before; same dangerous hairpin turn, no bike lanes. I feel compelled to ask the city of Asheville: What's the problem here? I thought that part of the deal with the big fancy brewery coming to town was that we would get more bike lanes?

And since there appears to be plenty of room on either side of the road and you are already repaving it anyway?

Come on! Bike lanes make for safer travel for everyone. Not just the folks on the bikes.

everything flows downstreaM Hopefully by now you’ve heard about the coal-ash impoundment dams that are a part of the Skyland Power Plant Facility. These toxic lagoons (“ponds” is far too polite) pose a threat to not only the immediate community, but to the whole watershed. Located immediately adjacent to the French Broad River, test wells have shown that a whole host of toxic heavy metals — well beyond safe levels — are leaching into our groundwater and threatening the French Broad River. With the coal ash being stored in unlined earthen dams just above the river, should we really be surprised?

The French Broad is the major river draining the watershed, and everything flows downstream. We will continue to see our river contaminated, with the unlined coal-ash ponds being stored in such a haphazard way, right next to the river. North Carolina has more of these kinds of dams than any other state in the nation.

How about we develop some sensible state and federal laws to regulate this pollution source, to ensure that these highly toxic metals aren’t ending up in our water?

— John Buscarino Asheville

politics and religion Marry — right here in asheville!

Recently, following one-on-one meetings with Mitt Romney, the Billy Graham Evangelical Association removed Mormonism from its list of cult definitions. Money aside, now I'm baffled as to why the other fringe religions remain listed as "cults" in the "My Answer Archive” section of its website.

To wit, when asked about the elimination of "Mormonism as a cult" from the website, a spokesman for Graham said: “Mr. Graham’s calling is not to pass judgment, but to proclaim the biblical truth that Jesus is the only way to heaven, allowing every individual and group to fall along that plumb line.”

Graham has also taught that “salvation is the work of Almighty God,” the spokesman continued. “Only He knows what is in each human heart.” Seems to me like an extemporaneous exercise in religious hypocrisy, especially since Jesus is not a foundation of the Mormon theology. But neither is He found in the other "cults."

So why doesn't this espoused Graham philosophy of an omniscient God include the hearts of those followers in the other non-Christian religions still listed as cults? It is clearly apparent to me, given their recent, timely action to remove Mormonism from their cult definition, and their subsequent explanation as to why, that they have crossed their own plumb line — hypocritical in defining cults, but even more historically important, the now overt intermarriage of politics with their newly flexible, religious dogma.

“I’ll do all I can to help you,” Graham told Romney. “And you can quote me on that.” So much for separation of church and state.

by JaKe franKel Last year, the North Carolina General Assembly sliced most of Asheville out of its longtime home in the 11th Congressional District and spliced it into the 10th, which stretches southeast all the way to Gaston County. Since 2004, that district has been the home turf of Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry, who's seeking his fifth term.

The move, part of a redistricting designed by the state Legislature’s first Republican majority in more than a century, was widely perceived as an attempt to maintain McHenry's 10th District stronghold while making the 11th District more vulnerable to a Republican candidate.

But Democratic challenger Patsy Keever hopes the infusion of Asheville voters will help turn the 10th blue. And McHenry doesn't seem to be taking victory for granted: He's been barnstorming the new parts of his district, introducing himself to voters less familiar with his record.

crowd funding Only 37 years old, McHenry has already made a name for himself as a national conservative leader, earning accolades from such organizations as the National Journal, Americans

for Tax Reform and the National Federation of Independent Business. McHenry serves on the powerful House Financial Services Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform — two positions he says he'd like to keep.

In those roles, McHenry deals with legislation related to the securities market, banking, insurance and real estate. "It's complex, it's interesting — it's maddening at times, but it's also intellectually stimulating," the candidate notes. This gives him a say in everything from the rules governing checking accounts and credit cards to the "interest rates you get for a mortgage or a home loan, the disclosure forms you get when you buy a house, and whether or not you're able

to participate in [helping fund] a new business," he explains, adding, "It's also impactful on jobs."

McHenry says one of his proudest legislative accomplishments was helping author a "crowd funding" bill that passed last year with bipartisan support. The law allows entrepreneurs to raise up to $1 million in capital from an unlimited number of small investors who then gain equity in the business. The idea, similar to the one behind the popular website Kickstarter, is "particularly interesting in an environment like Asheville, where you've got enormous creativity, small-business folks, whether it's an art gallery or a brewery or farming ... or manufacturing, technology," says McHenry.

The congressman says he's visited the area frequently during the past year and a half and has enjoyed getting to know Asheville's issues and eccentricities. Despite the town's tendency to vote Democratic, the Denver, N.C., resident hopes "people will be willing to see past the partisan label and actually work with me" if he's re-elected. "I work with local elected officials, regardless of party or any of the politics," he maintains, saying he'll be happy to help them identify federal grant opportunities, much as 11th District Rep. Heath shuler (who’s not seeking re-election) has.

McHenry also says he would "have a staff presence" in Buncombe County in "some way, shape or form," cautioning that whether he establishes a local office for constituent services would depend on his budget.

education first Having taught in the public schools for 25 years and served as a Buncombe County commissioner for 12, Keever says she has a better handle on the issues facing area residents than her opponent does.

"As long as he's been alive, I've been working directly with people on issues from race relations to bicycle paths to big issues like education and health," Keever reports. "We know that when you live in that tight environment, then you don't really know what the real world is like. That's the biggest thing that I bring: He doesn't have the right experience to be able to relate to your normal, everyday working person."

Keever is completing her first term in the Statehouse, representing Buncombe County's 115th District. But after the redistricting moved her into the same district as fellow Democratic Rep. susan Fisher, Keever opted to bow out rather than face her colleague in the primary.

Soon after Keever declared her intention to run for Congress in the 10th District, however, the GOP leadership moved her south Asheville home just over the boundary into the 11th.

On the campaign trail, McHenry has criticized Keever for running in a district she doesn't live in. But the law does not require it, and Keever says she's determined not to let GOP leaders "get rid of me."

"Clearly, they're going after the women," she charges, likening the Republican Party's style of governance to a "good old boys club."

If elected, Keever says she'd be interested in serving on committees that deal with agricultural and health issues, but public education would be her top priority. The school system, she believes, serves as "the foundation of our democracy," and strengthening it will help fuel the economy.

"If Republicans take over everything, public education will be just trashed,” Keever predicts. “As an educator, I find that a horrifying thought, that Republicans would voucherize education and Medicare — things that really matter to people. Whatever I do, it's going to be very people-oriented and constituentoriented."

A fundamental question in this election, continues Keever, is "Are we in this together, or is it just for the rich few? I think we're in it together."

In terms of how that translates into policy decisions, Keever says she supports raising taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year in order to help fund services and infrastructure improvements and reduce the national debt. She also supports the so-called "Buffett Rule," which would require people earning $1 million or more per year to pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes.

"You want it to be an equitable system, a fair system,” says Keever. “And schools cost money. Roads cost money. Keeping our environment clean costs money.”

final weeKs Throughout the campaign, both candidates have painted their opponent as a partisan extremist. Both also echo their respective parties’ talking points concerning health care and other issues.

Keever maintains that the 2010 Affordable Care Act takes the country in the right direction, saying she strongly supports the provisions barring insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions and allowing children up to age 26 to stay on their parents' health-insurance plan.

McHenry, meanwhile, says that while maintaining those popular provisions should be a priority in any alternative proposal, he wants to repeal the entire bill and replace it with "free-market health-care solutions." The congressman says he favors a more "patient-centered direction for health care," adding that allowing consumers to buy health insurance across state lines would help bring down costs.

In Congress, McHenry supported Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's proposal to give Medicare enrollees the option of receiving government vouchers they could apply to the cost of private health insurance.

Without such steps, says McHenry, Medicare is in danger of going broke.

Keever, however, opposes such a move, which she maintains would result in higher costs for seniors and amounts to "an end to Medicare as we know it." To rein in spending, Keever favors investing in preventive programs that help avert chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity, which are costly to treat.

On abortion, Keever is pro-choice, while McHenry's website touts his co-sponsorship of the proposed Sanctity of Human Life Act. Defining life as beginning at “fertilization, cloning or its functional equivalent,” the bill would empower federal and state governments to pass laws protecting life from that point on, with no exception for rape — effectively banning abortion. On another controversial social issue — gay marriage — McHenry voices support for the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act; Keever says she'd vote to repeal it.

As for the environment, McHenry says he supports North Carolina’s 2002 Clean Smokestacks Act, which was passed before he was elected to the General Assembly. "I absolutely think that in Western North Carolina, our clean air, our clean views, equal economic prosperity and growth,” the candidate declares. “So we have to preserve that, because people want to come here because of that."

Nonetheless, the League of Conservation Voters gave the legislator’s environmental record this year an abysmal 6 percent score (out of 100). In contrast, the nonprofit advocacy organization, which produces an environmental scorecard each year based on each lawmaker’s voting record on key legislation, hailed Keever as one of the greenest members of N.C.’s Statehouse, with a 92 percent score.

Keever also won the national Sierra Club’s endorsement.

“Patsy is someone who will do more than just say the right things; she will deliver results on

the issues important to families,” proclaimed Ken Brame, the group’s national political chair, according to a Keever press release.

On another front, Keever has slammed McHenry for accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the very banking interests he's charged with regulating. The challenger also says she supports the DISCLOSE Act, which would require independent political groups to be more transparent about where their money comes from.

“If folks contribute to me,” counters McHenry, “It's because people support my agenda, not the other way around. If you look at the financial-services industry, the biggest bill they wanted was the bailout," or Troubled Asset Relief Program, which he voted against.

McHenry opposes the DISCLOSE Act, calling it an attempt to stifle free speech and the "open market of ideas that the framers intended.”

Keever, he points out, "hasn't stopped trying to raise money — she's just been less successful at it."

McHenry also laments the fact that "so much of our political discourse is on a few hot-button issues. Election Day,” he adds, “happens once every two years for me. Every other day of the year is serving the people as they are, where they are." X

DaviD Gantt Disability Social Security Workers’ Compensation

Can I draw private disability checks while also receiving Social Security checks for disability?

Yes. The terms of your private disability checks are contractual and control whether these payments are pro-rated or changed by the receipt of Social Security (SS) checks. Federal law requires full payment of SS disability checks regardless of the receipt of private disability checks for the same disability.

However, most private disability plans have contractual provisions requiring repayment and/or discounts of compensation paid when SS disability check commence.

Payment of SS disability checks is impacted and offset by receipt of Workers’ Compensation disability checks. ® Copyright 2012 82 Church Street • Asheville, NC 28801

by nelda holder If you read only one sentence of this story, make it this: A “straight party” vote in the upcoming election does NOT record a vote for president. North Carolina is the only state in the nation where this is the case.

And that’s not all. Other ballot items that must be marked individually include state and local judicial races, all local nonpartisan races, and any issues or referenda. In Buncombe County, that includes the races for Soil and Water District supervisor and the Buncombe County Board of Education (North Buncombe, Owen and Roberson District residents may vote for one candidate in each of these three races; all county school-district residents may vote in the race for one at-large seat).

Only Asheville residents may participate in the referendum on selling or leasing the water system.

Judicial races on the Buncombe County ballot include one state Supreme Court justice and three N.C. Court of Appeals judges. The State Board of Elections mailed information on judicial candidates to all households recently; it’s also available online in the 2012 General Election Voter Guide (ncsbe.gov). These races are nonpartisan, so candidates’ party affiliations

12 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

take your pick: In a big change for Buncombe County this year, the Board of Commissioners are divided into three districts. Above, four candidates are vying for two District 3 (west Buncombe) seats on the board, pictured here at a recent League of Women Voters forum — (left to right) Republicans Joe Belcher and David King and Democrats Terry Van Duyn and Michelle Pace Wood.

aren’t indicated. The guide doesn’t cover local judicial races, but both District Court positions on the ballot for Buncombe County’s District 28 involve unopposed incumbents: Andrea dray and Calvin Hill.

The voter guide also includes information on the candidates for the three publicly funded Council of State races (which are partisan): superintendent of public instruction, commissioner of insurance and state auditor. These candidates are eligible for allocations from the Voter-Owned Elections Fund, supported by

voluntary donations and appropriations from the state’s general fund.

A different source, the North Carolina Public Campaign Fund, pays for the judicial voter guide and provides campaign funds to state judicial candidates who choose to use public financing. These candidates must first demonstrate a level of public support by attracting donations of $10 to $500 from at least 350 registered N.C. voters.

The judicial fund has been cited as a national model for keeping financial influence out of the judiciary, although court action cut into the legislation this year. Previously, participants running against opponents who didn’t choose public funding were given the option of receiving matching funds, if necessary, to level the playing field. A federal district court ruling in May struck down this provision, although the State Board of Elections had already notified candidates that the rescue option would not be available this election, based on other federal and Supreme Court rulings.

Early voting continues through Saturday, Nov. 3. Expect a two-sided ballot: Don’t miss half the fun. X For more election news, go to mountainx.com/ election.

sobering thought: Officer Ann Fowler trains fellow officers in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing at A-B Tech’s Enka campus. Photo by Bill Rhodes

by bill Rhodes It’s raining hard in Asheville; parking between the police cars in the lot, then wading across to the Traffic Safety Unit office in West Asheville is a chore. Inside, however, it’s warm and dry as Sgt. Curtis Jones checks the weather on his computer.

"We can really hear the rain in here with this flat metal roof,” he says. “It reminds us of what’s going on out there.”

Walking back to the unit’s workroom, we get another reminder of what’s going on out there.

Officer Ann Fowler has just returned from working an accident involving injuries; her dark-blue uniform pants are still wet. But the whole time we’re sitting and chatting about statistics, she’s listening to the radio and watching the dispatch screen on her laptop — keeping an eye out for other traffic mishaps.

"A reportable accident is [one] with more than $1,000 in property damage, or personal injury of any kind,” Fowler explains. “We average around 11 of those a day here in the city — not quite one an hour, but we never know when that hour is.”

In the APD, patrol officers take most of the accident reports. The six-member traffic unit mainly provides training and expert backup in more difficult cases. Increasingly, it’s also serving as a broader resource, training police officers, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers from smaller departments across the region. "It’s a lot more costeffective to have someone drive up to Asheville for a day than have to go to Raleigh for the same training or recertification,” notes Jones.

14 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

Fowler is one of the APD’s few certified instructors in standard field-sobriety testing and drug-impaired driving detection. In a classroom at A-B Tech’s Enka campus, she trains and recertifies officers from all over Western North Carolina.

A recent class included officers from Buncombe, Haywood and Madison counties plus Fletcher.

“Our approach to traffic enforcement is a little different,” Jones explains. “We train patrol officers to recognize traffic issues and deal with them, rather than have many officers doing nothing but traffic enforcement. We have an aggressive radar program, and two of our officers are consistently among the top DWI arresting officers in the entire state — while doing their regular patrol duties.”

DWI numbers, he continues, “are down, we think due to our aggressive enforcement and prosecution of DWI cases here in Buncombe County. This is not the place you want to drive around intoxicated. We don’t lose many cases, and our officers are up to speed on how to handle these cases and get convictions,” says Jones.

Many people, cautions Fowler, don't realize that “Driving on prescription medication [falls under] the same law as driving drunk: Impaired means impaired, no matter the cause. We get lots of senior citizens screaming at us that they have prescriptions, so they are not impaired. Not true; not true at all.” X Bill Rhodes can be reached at 251-1333, ext. 144, or at brhodes@mountainx.com.

locKing up land

coMMissioners taKe steps to preserve leicester farM

it’s an honor: Minnie Jones thanks the commissioners after receiving “Special VIP Recognition” for her key role in providing health services to disadvantaged residents. Photo by Max Cooper

by JaKe franKel At their last meeting before the Nov. 6 election expands and restructures their board, the Buncombe County commissioners took action to preserve farmland in Leicester.

The board unanimously voted Oct. 16 to allocate $18,000 toward the transaction costs for placing a conservation easement on the 57-acre Jeffers Farm on Sluder Branch Road.

The Agricultural Advisory Board requested the move, which will help protect the land from development. The working farm produces a range of vegetables and animal products. The cost of the $440,000 easement will be covered by a mix of private donations, state and federal grants.

Newfound Creek borders the property; plans call for a 70-foot buffer zone to help improve its water quality. The land adjoins the Sycamore Valley Farm, which is already protected by a conservation easement.

Over the last several years, the commissioners have helped preserve about 6,000 acres of land through the voluntary easement program, noted board Chair david Gantt. Preserving farmland from development, he maintained, is one of the most important things the board can do.

Commissioner Carol Peterson added, "This is consistent with the good folks of Buncombe County and their love of the land."

In other business, the board unanimously voted to rezone land at and around the Asheville Regional Airport and the WNC Agricultural Center as a public-service district. In June, the North Carolina General Assembly reconfigured the airport’s board to reduce the city’s role and transferred zoning jurisdiction to Buncombe County, forcing the commissioners to act. No one spoke out against the zoning rules during a public hearing on the matter.

The commissioners also heard an update on the Know Your Numbers program, which offers county employees paid time off in exchange for improving health indicators such as blood pressure and cholesterol.

Since the program began in February, roughly 165 employees have collectively lost about 576 pounds, nurse practitioner lynn Rapp reported.

If the program enables just one employee to avoid a heart attack or stroke, she said, it will be a big success.

Gantt agreed, noting that improving employee health ultimately "saves money for the county and the taxpayers." X The commissioners’ next meeting, on Nov. 20, will be held in their new quarters in downtown Asheville at 200 College St., Room 326.

Registration requested. Info: sartplays.org, sartplays@aol.com or 689-1384. why: Julia Child probably didn't listen to gospel music while she mastered the art of French cooking, but her legacy will go head to head with the sounds of Godspell at Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre's Taste of SART fundraiser. The evening will feature everything from Bradshaw Call's parody of the cooking icon to a musical celebration of the theater company's upcoming season. Throw in some chocolate, coffee and homemade treats and you have yourself a party.

SART was first conceived in 1975 as a way to expand the prowess of Mars Hill College's theater department and has grown exponentially since then. The 2012 season featured six productions, with topics ranging from romantic relationships to a human-size rabbit.

Are you curious about SART's 2013 season? Enjoy highlights from upcoming productions in between performances by The Mars Hill College "Showstoppers" and solos by Liz Aiello. Revel in an evening of entertainment and confections while taking a taste of what SART has on its silver platter.

LeSSoNS froM A DIrT fArMer

By Jo ANN MIkSA-BLAckweLL & cAroL LyNN JAckSoN So you want to be a farmer? The story of Lee Mink is both real and inspiring. Lee owns Leap Farm, located in Polk County, where he grows over 70 different heirloom varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs — on only a couple of acres.

For the past several years, Lee has developed his own strategy for how to maximize profits by developing several streams of income, including value-added products. By selling both direct, wholesale, and retail, he is able to sell every last bit of produce.

In fact, he has a method for having everything sold before the seeds even go in the ground. By planting only what he can sell, he doesn’t waste any of the inputs. “The key,”

Lee Mink (above) will present“Getting Your Farm To Scale” on Friday, Nov. 9, from 9 a.m.-noon at Mountain BizWorks.

says Lee, “is not to grow too much or too little.”

Leap Farm specializes in organic, biodiverse, sustainable methods and growing diversity for local markets. Lee insists that at its essence, sustainable farming is all about local service — local farms providing food to local residents and restaurants — so he has chosen to sell his produce within a 25-mile range of the farm. This also enables him to focus on what he does best: paying attention to the details and care for the land like it’s a family member.

Lee considers himself a “dirt farmer” because in order to grow the best produce in the most sustainable way, his job is actually to cultivate the quality and health of the soil. “I’m not taking from the land,” he says, “I’m giving to it. The way to get maximum yield is to put more into the soil than you take out of it.”

We are lucky to have Lee Mink farming in our community and even luckier that he is so willing to share his knowledge and wisdom with the community. He recognizes the trend of returning to the earth, and he knows that once people learn how to make money from the land, more people will take responsibility for its stewardship. And that’s good for everyone.

Bear(Part Safety Tips 12 in a 25-part series) • Keep in mind that bears tend to be more active at dawn and dusk (read: horny).

• Call 911 and report a “code 99” — bear in the woods.

• Stay on marked trails, unless you spy a really cool natural trail that leads from a cave to a fresh mountain spring.

• Simultaneously make yourself big, back away from the bear while facing it but hiding your face with your hands, yell, and play dead.

• Standing on its back legs is not always a sign of aggression for bears. Many times, bears will stand to get a better view of the two-legged meatbag they’re about to chase willy-nilly through the woods.

• Get inside a bear-bag and hoist yourself up over a limb above and outside of your tent. Remain quiet so the bear will believe you are an off-limits bag of food.

• You can always buy more ammo at Walmart — open fire like Independence Day falls on Eid this year in Tripoli.

• Run in a zig-zag fashion. For the bear, this makes the chase better than the kill.

• Make lots of noise when hiking. This can be done with alcohol and common street drugs.

• Ascertain whether or not it is a laid-back bear, or a bear that has seen some s*it in its day.

• Remember that bears are just big, cuddly dogs that walk on their back feet and chase you through the woods with the intention of ripping your arms out of your sockets and chewing the skin off your face like it’s stringy, hot cheese on a pizza.

• Look for small stones stacked atop each other or in pyramid shape atop larger rocks in a river. That’s bored-bear activity, and a sign of trouble.

• Never cook food in your tent. Cook it in someone else’s tent.

• Black bears actually range in color from black to light blonde. If you encounter a bear with light blonde hair, keep a straight face at all costs.

• Many bears have a lighter-colored patch on their chests; these are Care Bears, and are generally harmless.

• Change your clothing before you sleep in your tent. After a late-night bear encounter inside a tent, you’ll want to change clothing again.

• Keep the area clean. Be sure to wash dishes, dispose of garbage, and wipe down tables. Clean ramekins and do all side work. Check with a manager before clocking out of the woods.

• Don’t surprise bears. If you’re friends with a bear that is turning 40 — don’t do it.

• If you can, travel with a group or at least one other hiker. If you can’t, what difference does it make?

• If you have pepper spray, be sure that you have trained with it before using it during an attack. If not, keep it safely in your pocket during the bear attack.

• Black bears can climb trees, but can they climb as high as you can? Have you no competitive spirit?

• Remember that many bears charge as a bluff. This makes for stressful poker games.

• A soft monotone voice will let the bear know you are human. So will failing at something that means a lot to those who depend upon you. But if it’s quicker to do the voice thing, do that.

• Wave your arms to make yourself look bigger. If you have really tiny arms but huge quads, wave your quads around and tuck your tiny arms inside your shirt out of self-respect.

• In 1979, Sugar Ray Leonard went 15 rounds with a bear by utilizing a pinpoint jab and impressive inside fighting. However, don’t do this unless you get inside the bear’s head at the previous day’s weigh-in.

Advice from the Church of LDS, with advice columnist Lonely Desperate Sarah

Dear LDS, I recently went out with a coworker, but right away I knew the chemistry wasn’t there.

How do I politely decline his invitation to go out with him again without creating tension in the workplace?

—Jen

Hey girlfriend, He took you out in the first place, which proves you have value and worth.

Double down on that feeling by doing anything you can to get a second date.

—LDS Dear LDS, My boyfriend of seven years avoids all talk of marriage. Should I give him an ulti-

matum? — Deb

Listen sister, An ulti-what-um? A man is a precious, precious thing, and hard to find too! Most importantly, you have a boyfriend NOW and you don’t look pathetic eating all alone by the window of the bagel shop thinking of ways you and Bruno Mars can “meet cute.”

leading econoMic indicators • Mexican-made scorpion antivenom sells for about $100 a dose in Mexico, but for a while over the last year, the going rate in the Chandler (Ariz.) Regional Medical Center’s emergency room was $39,652. Marcie Edmonds, stung while opening a box of air-conditioner filters in June, was given two doses and later received a co-pay bill for $25,537 (her Humana plan picked up $57,509), according to the Arizona Republic.

Arizona hospitals other than Chandler retail it for between $7,900 and $12,467 per dose, the paper found. Chandler subsequently cut the price to $8,000 a dose, thus eating a $31,652 "loss."

• Officials overseeing the annual Wisconsin State Cow Chip Throw said that due to last summer's Midwest drought, there would be fewer highquality cow patties this year. "When it's hot, the cows don't eat as much,” noted chairperson Ellen Paulson. “And what was produced, they just dried up too quick." A few patties were left over from the 2011 competition, but, she said, "It's not like you can go out and buy them."

(Company slogan: "Don't rush. Look before you flush.") With 50 advertisers enlisted so far, Jordan told the Detroit Free press in August that he came up with the idea while sitting on the can in the University of Michigan library.

• Habersham Funding of Georgia and its competitors pay a lump sum for terminally ill clients' life-insurance policies, then continue to pay the premiums so they can collect upon the person’s death. Thus, the companies' business model depends on those people dying quickly.

According to an August New York Times report, these companies run extensive background checks on potential clients’ illnesses and lifestyles and employ sophisticated computer algorithms that predict, better than doctors can, how long a client will live.

• August, Warwick, R.I., residents Kathy Melker and Craig Fontaine charged that neighbor Lynne Taylor, not content to harass them with insults and threats, has taught her cockatoo to call Melker, on sight, a nasty epithet that rhymes with "clucking bore.” "I'm 53 years old, and I've never been called [that phrase] in my life," said Melker.

• At least two teams of Swiss researchers are developing tools to improve farmers' efficiency and reduce the need for shepherds. The Kora group is outfitting sheep with heart-rate monitors that, when predators approach, register blood-pressure spikes that are texted to the shepherd, summoning him to the scene.

Meanwhile, professors at a Bern technical college are testing placing thermometers in cows' genitals that text the farmer when the cow is ready for mating. This saves time locating and examining cows, and since most insemination is done artificially, farmers can reduce the amount of bull semen they keep on hand.

• A July report in the journal Animal Behaviour hypothesized why male pandas have sometimes been seen performing handstands near trees.

They’re urinating, the scientists observed, and doing handstands streams the urine higher on the tree, presumably signaling their mating superiority. A researcher involved in the study said an accompanying gland secretion gives off even more "personal" information to other pandas.

• Spending on pet health care is rising as companion animals are treated like family members.

In August, Australian veterinarians who provide dental services told Queensland's Sunday Mail that they’ve even begun seeing clients demand orthodontic braces and other work to give dogs "kissable breath" and eliminate gaptooth smiles.

by caitlin byrd When you’re taking care of someone with dementia, there's no such thing as just getting away for a few days. So says Asheville resident Thomas stern, who’s had extensive caregiving experience.

To help address such challenges, Stern is launching AV.E Health. Beginning in January, the company will offer assisted vacations at the Grove Park Inn for people with dementia and their family caregivers.

Xpress spoke with Stern recently about dementia, his new business venture and what it means to be a caregiver.

Mountain Xpress: What inspired you to start this business? Thomas stern: I was a caregiver to both my grandparents; one had vascular dementia and one had Alzheimer's.

I was particularly suited to be their caregiver because I speak Hungarian and they were Hungarian. That was after I graduated from Warren Wilson College, and I ended up being a caregiver to them for about five years.

During that time, I went to A-B Tech to do an LPN program to become a better caregiver.

When they both passed, I started working in adult day care as a nurse while also attending graduate school.

The idea for assisted vacations just came out of a need that we had as a family. We took my grandparents on trips, but it wasn't a vacation, because we were still caregivers.

What was it like to be a caregiver after you’d just graduated from college? The thing about caregiving is that it's incredibly complex on the psychological level. Any time you do something to benefit yourself, you perceive it as detracting from the person you’re caring for. It's really hard to do things that are good for yourself.

I was pretty much in the prime of my life, but caregiving really took a toll on me physically. When I was later working at an adult day care, I saw 75-year-old women doing the same thing I did as a young man, and that's incredibly hard.

It's been proven that it’s detrimental to be a caregiver. What's also interesting is that about 80 percent of people with Alzheimer's are being cared for by family members at home. The person with dementia in a nursing home is kind of an anomaly.

by Kate Walters Photography) What is an assisted vacation? One of the things we plan to focus on is making custom vacations for people that really suit the individual and their particular circumstances. Say you have someone who’s in a wheelchair and needs 100 percent personal care — they’re going to require a lot more of our staff than someone who maybe just needs to be engaged socially. Typically, it will be for five days and four nights.

And you’ll have 24/7 medical staff. Why is this important? People with dementia are often in a frail health state anyway, because there's a direct correlation with age. There are people who have younger-onset Alzheimer's who don't have those issues, but there might be people with diabetes, heart issues and whatever else. That's why the medical staff is necessary.

“we tooK My grandparents on trips, but it wasn’t vacation because we were caregivers on vacations.” thoMas stern, founder of av.e health

Caregivers want to have someone who can respond to an emergency if they need to, and also, the medical professional is there for the caregivers to really sort of help them plan wellness on a day-to-day basis. Caregivers can be incredibly isolated; they need that encouragement to build a wellness routine and stick to it. So we've budgeted to have a registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day, from the time they arrive to the time they leave.

How much will these vacations cost? It's definitely designed for folks with discretionary income. We kind of let our philosophy be that exceptional services are not inexpensive, but they’re incredibly valuable. It's going to break down similar to hiring private care — starting at, say, $20 an hour for care.

But these vacations are also about making memories. This is something that's so critical for families. My wife is French, and while we were caregiving for my grandma, we went to France. My grandmother was being cared for by my brother, and within two weeks, I was miserable. I was constantly worried about her, wondering whether my brother was caring for her as well as I felt I could. I wasn't able to enjoy my vacation.

We've also had conversations with people about weddings and graduations. I've known people whose grandparents haven’t gone to weddings because of dementia; this is a really

elegant solution to that. If you're going to plan a wedding at the Grove Park Inn or anywhere in Asheville, our staff can be there to help include all family members.

.com

What kind of relationship will Av.e Health have with the Grove Park Inn? We have an agreement with them that our guests come in through us and book vacations with us.

The Grove Park Inn has made us corporate travel partners, but they’re not involved in the care. They’ll provide the same amenities they would for any other guest. since you won't start offering vacations until January, where are you now with the business? We're looking to hire our health-care staff. We're hoping to hire 15 to 20 people between now and the new year, and we’ll be paying above industry average.

Why is this service important? We have to come up with these resources: It's an absolute public-health crisis. If you look at the trajectory of Alzheimer's, both in terms of incidence and expense, I think it's going to be the defining health condition of this century. The more kinds of nonpharmacological and social-type programs we can do, the more it will help. X

Eating Right for Good Health presented by

Halloween

Trick or Treat?

(portions of this article appeared in inglesnutriton@blogspot.com ) Like many dietitians I get calls and e-mails asking me to comment on Halloween candy every year. I can almost hear the reporters gleefully rubbing their hands together and saying to themselves… “What’s the dietitian going to say this year?

Give out carrots? Don’t let them trick or treat? Take their candy away?” I feel like they are trying to turn me into the fiercely overprotective father in the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka.

All too often I think dietitians fall into the trap of being Nutrition Nazis. Is it because our messages aren’t real and practical?

I’d rather not make a big deal about a holiday that is ONE DAY... and just a few hours at that! Sure, there are better choices to give out or eat like dark chocolate over gooey caramel filled confections; but I’m also not going to recommend giving out pencils, carrots or cheese. (Though I’ll admit I do like the idea of small packs of raisins or pretzels as an option.)

Let’s make the Halloween message about enjoying a little candy in moderation rather than dwelling on the calories in a Hershey bar or Sour Patch Kids. If your kids get a lot of candy, portion it out (store it out of sight) so they eat it as an occasional treat over a couple of months. If you enjoy Halloween let’s focus more on having fun with costumes, carving pumpkins and visiting a maze or a haunted house than what is or isn’t being handed out for trick or treat.

Lady Passion descends the stairs in a long black dress and green-tinted spectacles.

Crystals and pendants hang from her neck, and she holds a cigarette — lit, apparently, the moment I knocked on the door. I suspect the cigarette is for effect (eventually, it goes out in her hand, and she doesn’t seem to notice).

Contrived though it may be, the effect is convincing: Lady Passion is the witchiest witch I have ever met.

The trappings of stereotypical witchery find their place within her house: a multiplicity of tiny jars and vials (some simply labeled “potion”), skull decorations, crystals and gemstones, cauldrons, broomsticks, several crystal balls and a chalice. She describes the décor as “witchy.” I ask her if she minds that these same objects double as kitschy Halloween decorations for non-witches. Not at all, she replies.

She’s proud that it takes commercial forms.

Lady Passion has written a cookbook, Simply Savory: Magical and Medieval Recipes, which is the reason for my visit. She’s also worked on two other books: The Goodly Spell Book: Olde Spells for Modern Problems and Ask A Priestess: Magic Answers and Spells From a Real Witch. But Simply Savory is her first endeavor devoted exclusively to magical cooking. She wrote it in response to consumer demand, she explains. “They wanted food that you could cook in a magical way, like a spell work, but also that would be nutritious,” she says.

Spell work, she adds, is all about method, and that method is applicable to cooking. “It matters how you stir things,” she says. “It matters what intention you put into it. There’s magic in everything you do, and if you see it that way, there’s magic all around us. If you live with intention, then you can make anything magical.”

c A u L D R O n c O O k e R Y The recipes in Simply Savory avoid sugar and salt and explore traditional preparation methods, such as cauldron cookery. Lady Passion shows me her collection of cauldrons, which she fills with sealed clay pots of meat, porridge and vegetables. She covers the vessels with water and boils the cauldron over a fire for hours. She says the resulting meal is cheap, nutritious and easy to prepare. “There are all these little traditional tricks and old ways knowledge that we teach and pass on,” she says. “I think of it as a survival skill, but also an art.”

Lady Passion is the third and final witch that I have visited in a week. The three witches all have an interest in the magic of food, yet they express this interest in very different ways. “Every group is different,” says Rhiannon, a witch who lives in Candler.

circles. Professionally, she’s a nurse, and she has reservations about publicly discussing her magical practices.) “There are some witches that look at themselves more as just the magic instead of religion,” she says. “And there are some Wiccans that don’t consider themselves witches.”

Sitting on Rhiannon’s couch surrounded by a rag-tag group of dogs and cats, I feel a little lost in the terminology of our conversation. Rhiannon, like the other witches I meet, practices Wicca, a religion that traces its roots back to Europe’s pagan past. But, she adds, what magic means to each Wiccan varies. “The witch was the wise person, usually the healer in the community,” Rhiannon says. “To me, magic is just using the little-known laws that other people don’t know as well and connecting with the nature spirits.”

Rhiannon practices herbalism and cultivates a wide variety of native herbs and medicinal plants in her yard. She has the air of a practiced gardener as she wanders the yard. She displays only a touch of her magical identity in a whimsical pair of thick-lensed glasses and an intricate clay and metal necklace. She points out passion flower, wintergreen, echinacea and forsythia.

A mixture of honeysuckle blossoms and forsythia tincture, she tells me, treats the flu.

With the approach of Halloween, known as Samhain (pronounced SOWin) to Wiccans, Rhiannon will continue to cook up her herbal and medicinal cures, but she’s also planning to prepare meals to honor her ancestors.

“One of our traditional Samhain rituals is to have what we call the ‘dumb

RhiAnnOn is An heRBAList, sO Much OF heR kitchen WitcheRY ResuLts in heALinG tOnics AnD teAs

feast,’ and we set out a plate which is of foods that help people get through the winter,” she says. “In our group, the traditional one is beans, a dried grain — frequently corn or cornmeal — salt and sometimes rice, either rice or oatmeal.”

She also plans to prepare the favorite foods of friends and family who have died. “We’ll set up an ancestors’ altar,” she says. “On ours, traditionally, there’s usually black coffee because some people that we were very close to loved the black coffee.”

Rhiannon’s not the only witch who will prepare food for the dead on Halloween: Byron Ballard, who connects her interest in folk magic to Appalachian traditions, will cook the favorites of her deceased parents and grandparents and take the dishes to the cemetery. “I always take coconut cake for my mother because that was her favorite,” she says. “In addition to doing the spiritual part of feeding my ancestors … it’s an easy way to pass onto my daughter, who’s 21, what the family recipes are.”

Like Rhiannon, Ballard’s witchiness is understated. She wears an orange, Halloween-themed scarf dotted with little black pictures. I offer to buy her her a cup of tea at the café where we meet up and immediately apologize for assuming she doesn’t drink coffee just because she’s a witch. I just assumed witches would drink tea. As it turns out, though, Ballard has already had coffee for the morning, so she accepts the tea and sips Lemon Zinger while she tells me about her new book, Staubs and Ditchwater: A Friendly and Useful Introduction to Hillfolks’ Hoodoo.

The book is a compendium of Appalachian folklore and magical receipts, which to me, look like a cross between spells and recipes. There are prescriptions for good health, a remedy for lust involving rose water, an apple, chocolate and honey (the book doesn’t say what result will follow) and an “energetic working” involving an egg that prevents another person from behaving badly.

Ballard’s interest in magic stems from her childhood in “a hollar west of Asheville,” as she puts it. As a baby, she grew strong on the mountain remedy of

42 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

goats’ milk and honey after an eating problem set back her health, she says.

She remembers learning about Appalachian curatives from her rural community. “You had to feed babies catnip tea really early on because if you didn’t, hives would break out on the inside of the baby, and the baby would die,” she says. “Now, what catnip tea really does is calm and soothe, so I guess if you had a baby that was prone to colic, and you gave it catnip tea, then it really might soothe the baby.”

While Ballard’s book grew out of her interest in magic, she’s also been able to take a more academic stance on the subject. In 2006, she presented a paper at a 2006 conference on folklore at Harvard.

She’s also planning a large study that traces Appalachian folklore and magic back to its roots in Europe.

BYROn BALLARD PeRFORMs the MARshMALLOW heX. it WORks, she sAYs.

Ballard defines magic as “bending the energy of the universe to your will.” Food, she says, functions in so many of her magical practices because it’s a common conduit for energy. “It’s looking at plants as allies and not just as something you use to eat,” she says. “You interact with it on an energetic level.” X Emily Patrick can be reached at food@ mountainx.com.

Dick Gilbert remembers a time when there were eight restaurants in downtown Asheville, and that figure included the concession stand in the court house. It was 1975.

“Downtown was flat on its back,” Gilbert says. “I would say 60 percent of the storefronts were empty.”

That same year, Gilbert and his wife, Mary, helped found the Stone Soup restaurant, a cooperative that fed Asheville for almost 30 years in its various incarnations (one of which took place at Blue Moon Bakery in the early 2000s).

Today, with dozens of eateries downtown and new ones opening each week, The Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County will host an event to remember the food scene's humble beginnings. The group has organized a panel discussion with members of the Stone Soup collective, followed by lunch in the dining room of the Manor Inn on Charlotte Street. That’s where the restaurant was located in the late '70s and early '80s, until it moved downtown to the building on Broadway Street currently occupied by Mellow Mushroom.

“In light of the socially conscious community that we have today, I think it's pretty easy for one to see that the efforts of Stone Soup really helped establish this region as an area that is socially conscious,” says Jack Thomson, executive director of the preservation society.

Stone Soup was founded by a group of social-services providers who had been working at Allen High School, an African-American girls' school funded by the Methodist Church.

When the school closed in 1974 after desegregation, the Gilberts and their colleagues started Stone Soup in the school cafeteria as a funding source for community-building endeavors. After a break with the Methodist Church, the restaurant relocated to the dining room of the Manor Inn, even though the building as a whole was in disrepair.

Gilbert remembers Stone Soup as a place where the entire town came together over light lunch fare, mostly soups, salads, sandwiches and pie. “One of the things that I really valued about the whole experience was that our customer base was very, very broad and diverse, and that continued to be right up to the end,” Gilbert says.

“We would have people from downtown professional offices and people from off the street.”

After a devastating freeze in 1984 compromised the Manor Inn's plumbing, the restaurant left that facility for the Broadway Street location and, eventually, a second location on Wall Street. A few years later, the preservation society stepped in to save the 1898 hotel. Thomson sees the Stone Soup reunion event as a chance to celebrate both the roots of Asheville's restaurant

industry and the historic character of the Manor Inn. The presentation and lunch take place on Saturday, Nov. 3, in the dining room of the Manor Inn, 265 Charlotte St. The panel discussion begins at 11 a.m., and a lunch of Stone Soupinspired fare commences at 12:30 p.m. The event is free, but donations will be accepted for the preservation society. Organizers recommend that attendees RSVP by Oct. 30 at 254-2324 or to directorpsabc@gmail.com. The event is sponsored in part by Leslie and Associates (the company that manages the Manor Inn), and Asheville.com.

little of this, little of that: Manager Megan DeCamara and Owner Hector Diaz hope to make small tastes a big thing at Pack Square. Photo by Max Cooper

by eMily patricK The newest venture from Hector Diaz of Salsa's, Modesto and Chorizo will be a standingroom-only place. “No seating nowhere because this is a European concept,” Diaz says. “You can stand there, or you take, and you go.”

Under the moniker of Bomba (and subtitled Salsa's on the Square), the tiny corner unit of 1 Pack Square, which previously housed a branch of The Sister's McMullen bakery, will serve hand-held breakfast foods, sandwiches, tea snacks, one-bite menu items, shots and miniature cocktails. Diaz envisions that the space will operate all day and into the night with ham and eggs on brioche for breakfast, sandwiches from around the world at lunch, cucumber tea sandwiches in late afternoon, bite-sized items at dinnertime and late-night small pours.

“When dinner comes, it's all about one bite,” Diaz says. He's not talking about tapas, he explains. The items will be smaller than a tapas portion, literally bite-size. The cost will be minimal: a few dollars per item. The prices will work out to even-dollar amounts (with tax) to avoid the hassle of making change.

While the drink pours will also be small, alcohol options will be abundant from the morning onward. Diaz hopes customers will start the day with a shot of Ginja, a Portugese liqueur made from ginja berries (also called sour cherries).

“It's good for your blood,” he says.

Diaz has plans to sell cigars, cigarettes and gum from behind the bar and stay open until midnight on the weekends. He also says he will redevelop the space over the winter to make room for outdoor seating. X

a CrePe is BOrn

a CrePe rake skims the tOP Of the Batter, giving the dish its signature CrisPiness. PHOTOS BY Max COOPer

BY Jen nathan Orris Steam curls above a 220 degree griddle. A wooden rake, about the size of a human hand, pushes the batter into a perfect circle, spreading it thin against the black cooktop. Twisted Crepe’s signature dish, The Faithful, is nearly finished. Within minutes, avocado, sprouts, mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella and sun-dried tomato pesto meld with the batter. As the crepe takes on an American flavor, owner Dustin Pulliam divulges the secret of this French delicacy.

What is a batter rake and what does it do? As far as the tools we use to make crepes, it all starts on a crepe griddle; those are made in France. And then we have a crepe rake that we spin the crepes out with, and then we have a crepe spatula that we use to flip the crepes. With the combination of the griddle and the rake you can get the batter really thin and it cooks very, very fast.

There are many kinds of crepes, from savory buckwheat to sweet wheat flower. What do you specialize in? We just have one crepe batter that we use for all our crepes, from the breakfast savory to the sweet crepes. We’ve perfected that batter and we feel like it’s the best combination for all the crepes that we make and the style of crepes that we do here.

Your fillings range from traditional Nutella to falafel and buffalo chicken. Why did you decide to go beyond the typical French options? We wanted to be a more modern, Americanized creperie. So we decided to have less traditional ingredients as far as the savories go and kind of put a new twist on crepes.

Making crepes is delicate business. How do you keep them light and fluffy? We’ve perfected the craft after making hundreds and then thousands of crepes. It takes anywhere from a week to a month to get the process down and actually make a perfect crepe.

It seems more complicated than an average sandwich or dessert. do you offer any tips to your employees about how to do it right? A lot of the spinning process that goes into the crepe is just muscle memory and practice. When a new employee starts they work on spinning crepes at least an hour or two, day after day until they get the hang of it.

everYthing frOm avOCadO tO sun-dried tOmatO PestO COnverge in the middle Of this CrePe in PrOgress. do you think this is something that the average cook should try at home? Oh, yeah. It’s going to be really hard to do it exactly as we do, because we have a 16-inch crepe griddle, but lots of our customers make their own crepes at home and share their ideas with us. They just use pans specific to making crepes on a normal stove.

You’re currently a real-estate broker by trade, yes? Just recently I got into real estate with Beverly Hanks, but I started this and built this up. I put in 110 hours a week for the first year and a half. I’ve always wanted to do real estate and finally got the restaurant and the staff to a position where I could be flexible and do both. so why crepes as opposed to something else? I actually got the idea out of Tallahassee, Fla. One of my best friends, Joey Davis, went into a creperie down there and thought it was a great idea. I called the owner and paid him a consulting fee and went down and worked at his restaurant for three days while I learned crepes. I thought it would be something different and unique and fit the market here in Asheville.

If you’re going to recommend a crepe to someone who’s never had one before, is there one in particular that you would suggest? One of my favorites that I came up with is the smoked trout. It’s similar to lox, but we use local Sunburst Trout Farms trout along with spinach, cream cheese and a balsamic reduction. It’s very light and just a great combination of ingredients.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only pick one crepe, what would you choose? I’d pick the Joby’s Luau. I’m a fan of pineapple, and the pineapple with all the other ingredients [chicken, ham, bacon, mozzarella, green peppers and honey mustard sauce] makes for a great choice.

sugar art: Third-grader Michaiah shows off the skull she decorated during Hall Fletcher Elementary’s recent field trip to the cake shop.

short street cakes celebrates the day of the dead Jodi Rhoden, owner of Short Street Cakes, knows that Halloween isn't only about the sweet stuff. “I just wanted to go beyond Halloween and into the deeper, underlying meaning of this time of year, which is really more about death and ancestors and spirits,” she says.

Since 2010, Short Street Cakes has hosted an ancestors’ altar with decorated sugar skulls in correlation with both Halloween and the Day of the Dead, a holiday that originated in Mexico and is celebrated throughout the world on Nov. 1.

It costs $5 to decorate a sugar skull, and completed skulls can be taken home or placed on the altar at Short Street Cakes until Nov. 1, when they will be moved to the Day of the Dead altar at Mayfel's restaurant downtown. “[The skulls] provide a means for people to come together and create art that celebrates ancestors and loved ones who have passed,” Rhoden says. “You're actually basically inviting your ancestors back into your life for another year.” Some participants even make skulls with their own names on them.

“It's also to recognize our own impermanence,” she says.

Proceeds from the sugar skulls benefit Coalician de Organizaciónes LatinoAmericans, an organization that advocates for Latino immigrants living in WNC. “Latino culture is an intrinsic part of our culture, or it's one of the many cultures that is thriving here,” Rhoden says. “It's important to acknowledge that this is a part of how the South is changing.”

breakfast enthusiasts do america Courtney Dillard and Matt Webber don’t know you, but they want to buy you breakfast. The Portland-based pair will be in town from Oct. 24 to 26 doing research for their upcoming book, Breakfast with Strangers: 50 Meals Across America. The project is exactly what the title implies — except that the couple is also on their honeymoon.

Dillard and Webber say their goal is to foster camaraderie between people who have never met. “It’s been a really unfortunate thing that we are encouraged to fear one another more than engage with one another,” says Dillard, an assistant professor of rhetoric at Willamette University in Salem, Ore. “We’ve not only had breakfast, but we’ve stayed at the houses of strangers, relied on strangers when our car broke down. We have asked strangers for directions, sat at the bar with strangers, and 100 percent of the time, it has been positive.”

The couple has been driving around the country in a camper van called the USS Pancake since July 18 (they were married on July 14). So far, they’ve conducted 33 breakfast interviews with people they have never met, including a saxophone repair person, a rancher, a stay-at-home mom and the lieutenant governor of Montana. They fund the breakfasts from their successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised more than $8,300 for the project.

“The American Dream looks very different for people these days,” says Webber, a community and political organizer. “But there’s this sense of selfdetermination and living one’s life to the fullest, whatever that is.”

They have yet to book any breakfast dates for their visit to Asheville, and they invite inquiries from interested individuals. In particular, they would like to to interview someone with a background in the military or nursing. To set up a breakfast date, email Dillard and Webber at breakfastwithstrangers@gmail.com. For more information, see breakfastwithstrangers.com or find them on Facebook or on Twitter at @BWS50Meals.

m o o g Your weekend-long dance partY starts here This year's Moogfest (the third for the locally held immersion course in electronic music) brings some changes — a smaller roster, for one. And no over-the-top headliner. No Flaming Lips. No Massive Attack. Think of it as the perfect opportunity to get to know the 2012 performers better. It's also a prime chance to check out some really experimental sounds, from Asheville's own noise-rock duo Ahleuchatistas and electronic forefather Morton Subotnick to events at the Moog Music factory all weekend long.

Within this guide, Xpress offers up a select few interviews with performers (from dreamy noir duo Exitmusic to hip-hop genius GZA) as well as our take on all the bands and a roundup of Moogfest-related events. The Bob Moog Foundation, which furthers the ideas and sonic events of the man we're all here to celebrate, makes a showing at the Diana Wortham Theatre.

f e s t EVENTS AT MOOG FACTORY

REMIX MASTERS

Moog Music makes Moog instruments, including the Little Phatty and Voyager. The factory is in downtown Asheville at 160 Broadway St., where the analog parts are manufactured by hand.

Check out these events happening there: Even without a Moogfest ticket, you can go to MinimoogFest. It’s free and open to the public.

Check out DJ sets by locals Marley Carroll and In Plain Sight (winners of the Remix Orbital for Moogfest contest), along with MSSL CMMND (featuring Chad Hugo from N.E.R.D. and Daniel Biltmore). Sponsored by QSC, Pisgah Brewing and Buchi. Thursday, Oct. 25, 3-6 p.m.

“This year’s entries are truly mind-blowing,” says Moog Music of the third Circuit Bending Competion. Finalist judging will be handled by special guests from Google, and the company will film the event for a mini documentary. The instruments will be on display in the Moog Factory all festival weekend. Judging takes place on Friday, Oct. 26, 11 a.m.

A Modular Synth Mash with special guests Herb Deutsch (synth pioneer, collaborator of Bob Moog’s and NYU electronic music professor) Alessandro Cortini (modular synth guru and Nine Inch Nails keyboardist) and Richard Devine (Warp Records artist and Native Instruments sound designer) will be a chance “to witness the synth gods generations collide.” Saturday, Oct. 27, 11 a.m.

French electro-pop duo Justice is the unofficial start to Moogfest: the band’s American tour brings them to the U.S. Cellular Center on Thursday, Oct. 25. And while the show isn’t part of the Moogfest lineup, festival attendees did have first dibs on pre-sale tickets.

Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay gained recognition back in ‘03 when they entered their remix of “Never Be Alone” by Simian in a college radio contest. Even before Justice’s ‘07 debut, †, was released, they’d won a best video accolade at the ‘06 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Though remixing is largely the band forté (live album, Across the Universe, contains samples of songs or remixes on each track), Justice approaches shows with a rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic and, with the addition of rock instruments, has been moving away from the electronic sound.

Last year’s release, Audio, Video, Disco was summed up by critics as the French duo’s attempt at ‘70s arena rock. Those screaming metal guitars and pummeling drums find their way onto the recently released video for “New Lands” (with its futuristic football/baseball/lacrosse/ roller derby/played-with-an-atomic-fireball mashup), off Justice’s EP of the same name. In true Justice style, the EP is five versions (three are remixes) of the same song.

Show time is 8 p.m., tickets are $47.65 including fees. ticketmaster.com. — A.M.

Heady stuff, but the German producer and DJ was among early Moogfest lineup speculations, one of the most mentioned. And his style, evolved from house music, incorporated not just electronic explorations but acoustic instrumentation and field recordings. panthaduprince.com — A.M. 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. — The son of jazz cornetist/guitarist/singer Olu Dara, Nasir Jones (aka Nas) took the family business (music) in a different direction (rap).

His career kicked off in ‘91 when he was featured on Main Source’s debut, but successful albums have been balanced with high-profile angst (a feud with Jay-Z, a split with R&B singer Kelis). As seven platinum albums to date attest, Nas is a master of the lithe, smart, rhythmically complex lyric that’s as poetic as it is powerful. nasirjones.com — A.M. 10 to 11:30 p.m. — Primus, as much as any band in modern rock, exists on its own plane completely. Two decades of “What-the-hell-was-that” kind of weird, irreverent prog rock (defined by Les Claypool’s mind-

bending bass lines) and the band is still at it. Following 2010’s Oddity Faire sideshow and the band’s first new record in a decade, Primus returns with an equally ambitious “3D enhanced live musical experience.”

What, exactly, that is, who knows. But judging from the past 20 years with Primus, we’re pretty sure it’s going to rule. primusville.com — D.S. 12:15 to 2 a.m. — If gold watches were still handed out for career longevity, Richie Hawtin (two decades DJing!) would get one. Born in England, he influenced mid-’90s Detroit techno; he grew up just across the river in Canada. Hawtin, known for a minimalist approach to music, has also undertaken some maximalist ventures, producing raves, running clubs and performing under dozens of stage names. richiehawtin.com — A.M.

both big and personal. The band previewed this year’s release, I Love You, It’s Cool by slowing it to a staggering 2,700 hours of drone. bearinheaven.com — A.M. 8:45 to 10 p.m. — If “Swedish indie pop” sounds about as approachable as bog snorkeling or blowfish eating, just listen to trio Miike snow’s hit, “Animal.” Which you probably already know, and if you don’t, it’ll still probably feel instantly familiar. The band’s name (in homage to friend Mike Snow and Japanese film director Takashi Miike) is also as clear as its Englishlanguage vocals á la American singer Andrew Wyatt. miikesnow.com — A.M. 10:30 to 11:45 p.m. — Electronic musician Tom Jenkinson (aka squarepusher) plays Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and London before landing in Asheville.

His brand of drum and bass is significantly influenced by jazz; in addition to samplers and sequencers, he also plays drums, a xylophone, bass and guitar (including a classical). And a toy Yamaha keyboard, according to one interview from ‘98. His latest album is Ufabulum. squarepusher.net — A.M. 12:30 to 1:45 a.m. — explosions in the sky‘s ubermelodic instrumental rock is textured and atmospheric in the “I’m about to zone out and think about my entire life” sort of way.

7:30 to 8:30 p.m. — Rapper Michael Render (aka Killer Mike) debuted on the OutKast song “Snappin’ and Trappin’” a dozen years ago; his own debut album, Monster, dropped in ‘03. His biggest charting hit to date is his song “A.D.I.D.A.S.” — an acronym for “All Day I Dream About Sex.” Aside from his hip-hop career, Mike and his wife own Graffiti’s SWAG Barbershop in Atlanta. facebook.com/mikebigga — A.M. 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. — Not to be confused with Emerson Lake and Palmer, el-P (formerly El Producto) is the project of Brooklyn-based producer and rap artist Jaime Meline. Like Nas, El-P parlayed jazz roots (his dad is pianist Harry Keys) into a career in hip-hop.

His 2012 release, Cancer For Cure, is a heavy-hitting, gut-punching work of lyrical acrobatics and disturbing imagery (and, if you check out the video “The Full Retard,” furry woodland-creature puppets gone horribly awry). facebook.com/therealelp — A.M. 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. — Who doesn’t love an enigmatic electro pop band with megaprocessed, almost robotic vocals and members who go by aliases like Tobacco, Bullsmear and Seven Fields of Aphelion? Not surprisingly, Black Moth super Rainbow embraces conceptual projects and takes psychedelia to a sometimes creepy level. Even so, the warm analog electronics, retro organs and catchy hooks keep things accessible enough (imagine The Flaming Lips if they actually took drugs). One can only hope the live show is half as otherworldly as the band’s gloriously bizarre videos. blackmothsuperrainbow.com — D.S.

1 to 2 a.m. — Rapper GZA (aka Genius) of Wu-Tang Clan released his second solo album, Liquid Swords, in ‘95. It took more than a year to create, but it peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard chart and, more than a decade after its release, was hailed by Chicago Tribune as “one of the most substantial lyrical journeys in hip-hop history.” The album was reissued this summer. facebook.com/theGZA — A.M.

asheVIlle MusIc hall 9:45 to 10:45 p.m. — Even if remixes aren’t your thing, it’s hard not to be charmed by Nashville-based DJ Andrew Owsley (aka Wick-It the Instigator). He’s mashed up The Black Keys with Big Boi (rumor has it Big Boi likes it). And he’s not just remixing the newest bands — what he did to Van Halen’s “Jump” almost makes you forgive that band for, well, the entire decade of the ‘80s. The point: Wick-It is grounded in hip-hop, but he’s not afraid to tap indie-rock, ‘60s rock and whatever else he can get his capable hands on. wickittheinstigator.tumblr.com — A.M. 11:15 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. — Neither Sam Haar nor Zach Steinman are blonde, though together the electronic musicians (who just released their debut, self-titled LP in February) are Blondes. More than a year before that album was out, The Guardian named the dance-pop duo a new band of the day. Blondes’ Facebook page is nearly blank, but they make up for that lack of disclosure with dozens of tracks to stream in Soundcloud (soundcloud.com/blondes). blondeblondeblondes.com — A.M. 12:45 to 2 a.m. — DJ Ana sia, from the San Francisco Bay area, is known for breaking new sounds, championing music festivals and building a community through touring

and playing venues that range from clubs to college towns. She’s also very interested in the relationship between performer and audience. She writes, on her website, “More and more, as the barriers between the stage and dancefloor begin to dissolve, and the unification of us just as we are (extraordinary animals who love to experience life) begin to crystallize, it makes me happier every time we see each other.” anasiamusic.com — A.M.

producer pantha du prInce talks InspIratIon and eQuIpMent In a very unscientific study, the one name to pop up the most on various pre-Moogfest 2012 lineup announcement prediction blogs and threads was Pantha du Prince. The German-born producer and DJ (aka Hendrik Weber) is playing the accolade all cool-like.

“That’s a compliment for the music,” he tells Xpress by email. “I hear the Moog festival is a very good festival, so as an artist you always hope to play music at festivals that make sense. I’m really looking forward to this one!”

Besides having an enthusiastic fan base, Weber is a fan himself — of Moog equipment, that is. The Minimoog tops his list and “the new Minitaur is a brilliant tool, because it’s small and you can take it with you,” he says. “Also the Moogerfoggers are quite interesting for processing.”

The equipment can be heard on albums like Ursprung, Pantha du Prince’s recent collaboration with longtime friend Stephan Abry. The two collected songs for a while, playing all the instruments (guitars and synthesizers) and processing their recordings on a computer. And, while the collection is electronic, there’s a lot of the natural world in its genesis. “We recorded in all kinds of places, for example at the German North Sea in an atelier right next to the ocean, so wind and long walks are part of the music,” says Weber.

Pantha du Prince crafts atmospheric sounds that, he says, are inspired by various places: “Houses as well as landscapes can provide a starting point.”

Perhaps surprisingly (because Krautrock often comes up in reviews of Pantha du Prince’s music), nationality is not important to Weber. What is, instead, is “a certain regional influence, that has nothing to do with countries.” He’s talking about how “your direct surrounding, socially and environmentally, have an impact on what you do and how you do it.”

Weber’s own approach to gathering sounds and ideas has changed. Half a decade ago, he says, he’d make music any place where he could bring his laptop. That became distracting; he now prefers the studio. “But once I’m somewhere in a place, I collect a lot of sounds from outside and instruments I find are recorded with little sketches everywhere I go,” he says. “My field recorder always waits in my pocket.”

Will the U.S. stretch of Pantha du Prince’s current tour wind up on a field recording? Perhaps, though Weber seems more visually and gastronomically inclined on this trip: “To see the autumn colors changing every day is what I’m looking forward to,” he writes. “Also, having some good meals with friends I have not seen for a long time.” — A.M.

asheVIlle MusIc hall 7 to 7:45 p.m. — The Brooklyn-based indie rock duo Buke and Gase is named for the homemade instruments that define its sound: the buke, a modified six-string ukulele; and the gase, a crunchy guitar-bass hybrid. Through a series of percussive innovations and foot-triggered drums, along with an arsenal of pedals and processors, the duo achieves remarkably lush sonic landscapes (it makes a point to note that all sounds are achieved live and no samplers are used), and Arone Dyer’s smooth alto and easy falsetto ground the churning rhythms with warm, poppy melodies. bukeandgase.com — D.S. 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. — Nearing 80 years old, electronic composer Morton subotnick is a Moogfest progenitor not just for his seniority but because his 1967 album, Silver Apples of the Moon (which he’ll perform at the festival) was, according to his bio, “the first electronic work to be commissioned specifically for the record medium.” It was released on Nonesuch Records. Other groundbreaking works included Two Life Histories (‘77), “the first piece involving an electronic ghost score” and All My Hummingbirds Have Alibis (‘94), an interactive concert work. mortonsubotnick.com — A.M. 10 to 11 p.m. — At times dreamy and atmospheric, at others anthemic and expansive, exitmusic is a shimmering example of what we all want dream pop to be. Aleksa Palladino and Devon Church’s backstory is almost as compelling as their music (the pair met on a train in Canada, remained in touch for years after and eventually were married; Palladino also happens to be a successful actress with major Hollywood films on her resume) but even that storybook tale can’t overshadow the ascending drama and soaring dynamics of Palladino’s smoky alto and the pulsing glow of Exitmusic’s mountainous soundscapes. weareexitmusic.com — D.S. 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. — Ahleuchatistas is a powder keg of avant grade experimentalism, technical precision and explosive dissonance that can only be described as mind boggling.

Guitarist Shane Perlowin spews dizzying lines of unorthodox melodies with chaotic bursts of unadulterated noise, punctuated with turn-on-a-dime time changes delivered at breakneck pace. Drummer Ryan Oslance is equally extraordinary, covering his entire body with percussive chains and bells, utilizing both sides of his drum sticks (along with his elbows and hands) and flailing behind the kit like a feral animal just released from a lifetime of imprisonment. The kicker? The seeming chaos of Ahleuchatistas is accompanied by an incomprehensible precision unrivaled in math-y prog rock. ahleuchatistas.com — D.S.

gZa wIll perForM acclaIMed alBuM FroM ‘95 In Its entIretY Chief among the criticisms lobbed at last year’s Moogfest was its lack of a sufficient hip-hop presence. Among the more adventurous and successful styles of electronically rendered music, hip-hop is intrinsically tied to the legacy the festival is meant to honor. This year, organizers correct the omission with sets from acclaimed Atlanta MC Killer Mike and confrontational rap outfit Death Grips, among others. But no 2012 artist boosts Moogfest’s hip-hop credibility more than GZA, the Wu Tang Clan member unironically referred to as “The Genius.”

“Festivals are youth driven,” GZA told the Xpress via email. “Hip-hop has a grip on the youth like no other genre of music. How can they not include us?”

In an acknowledgment of hip-hop’s importance that far outstrips anything from the festival’s first two years in Asheville, GZA will perform his acclaimed 1995 release Liquid Swords in its entirety. Full-album performances have become an intriguing Moogfest staple. Last year, Suicide caused a stir when they played their manic synth-punk debut from front to back. In its own way, Liquid Swords is an equally important record, a marvel of lyrical dexterity and mood management that has stood as a measuring stick for every MC who has emerged in the years since its release.

“It means so much to me,” GZA says of the opportunity to perform the album at Moogfest. “Liquid Swords is one month from being 17 years old, so it is an honor and blessing, and I am very grateful.”

Over the course of 13 songs, Liquid Swords manages to distill the darkest elements of the group’s ghetto-life explorations while enlivening them with jaw-dropping wordplay. GZA and his cohorts indulge in gruesome detail, but it’s still a blast to hear their words twist without mercy. The album was — and is — a stunning accomplishment that set GZA apart as one of the most gifted rappers around, once and for all removing any doubt that he deserved his selfappointed nickname.

“Anything I do that is perceived as being great will always increase the pressure for what is next to follow,” he says, speaking to the burden of living up to the early career classic. “It makes me feel great because whenever I compare and contrast the past and the present I see so much growth and development.”

GZA has accomplished much in the years since the album’s release. He’s unleashed a string of critically respected solo LPs, regrouped with Wu Tang and made memorable contributions to other members’ individual efforts. But none of it matches Liquid Swords.

Approaching that legacy in a live setting, GZA drafted some unusual help. Nathan Williams, leader of the brightly skuzzy pop-rock outfit Wavves, is tasked with recreating the chilling grit of RZA’s iconic beats, an unenviable task that GZA’s fans will judge quickly and harshly.

“What makes it work is that he has an interesting, unique sound,” GZA says. “[It’s] a little distorted and adds a different element to the songs.” — J.L.

Bear In heaVen Isn’t aFraId to dance Bear in Heaven has always occupied an ambiguous space, somewhere between experimental indie rock and noisy, towering electronics. The band's latest album, I Love You, It's Cool, blurs the line even more, unapologetic in its polished, synth-driven dance aesthetic.

One could argue that’s where the band has always been headed, but this time the evolution is surprisingly pronounced. As singer/ multi-instrumentalist Jon Philpot told Spin in December, “There's more groove, less doom.”

More like all groove, no doom. Gone are the crushing waves of dissonance and ominous chord progressions. In their place: a shimmering, ethereal sound with persistent four-on-the-floor rhythms and retro tones reminiscent of ‘80s chart toppers like Depeche Mode. Embracing its “groove” side was a risky move for the band — whose fan base is largely rooted in the rock scene — as guitarist/bassist Adam Wills readily acknowledges.

"We were semi-afraid to write a record that was too dance-y, that it was going to scare off all the rock fans of ours," he admits. "But it seems like we bridged some sort of gap between those two worlds."

Still, Wills has moments of doubt.

“There will be people who come to the shows, like front row, and it's some dude with a chain wallet and pink long hair. And I'm like, ‘Oh my god, has he heard the new album? It's going to bum him out.’ Because it's not these big, giant walls of sound as much

58 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

anymore, or whatever element I'm projecting onto him that I think he likes.”

Fans, though, seem content to follow Bear in Heaven to the other side.

“That is actually a specific instance," he continues. "And the kid was dancing his ass off all night. ... We've seen a marked difference, because we've been moving more onstage, which in turn makes everybody else move more.”

Considering Bear in Heaven's constantly evolving sound, one might expect the band to be the kind of gear-nerds who obsess over new equipment and tones, constantly searching for the next definitive Bear in Heaven sound. But Wills says that's just not practical for a band living in Brooklyn.

“Actually, Jon [Philpot] just sold a ton of stuff that we made the last two records with,” says Wills. “He was just like, ‘There's no more sounds in these keyboards that we haven't used.’ It's hard to be gearheads in New York, because there’s nowhere to put all the stuff.”

Nonetheless, Wills admits that new equipment and “rediscovered old technology” is “a big part of the conversation.” They just don't buy every cool piece of equipment.

“We could probably borrow it from a friend or rent it or something,” he says with a laugh. — D.S.

d a n c i n’ i n t h e d a r k

eXItMusIc tells storIes that are eMotIonal, not lInear Though Exitmusic is just one of a handful of female-led projects at Moogfest, singer-keyboardist Aleksa Palladino says that, while she identifies with being a woman more and more as she gets older, “I don’t write anything out of that.”

“We’re finally at a place where women don’t have to write as women,” says the musician. “We don’t have to write about boys, or relationships and love. We’re at a point where we can move past that and write about things that are going on in our heads.”

What Palladino and her husband/ bandmate Devon Church write, she says, are emotional stories. Not linear stories or prose, but evocative soundscapes and dreamscapes culled from internal worlds and the fertile creative space that the couple shares.

According to Palladino, she and Church met on a train while they were both traveling across Canada. Their band developed along with their romance, and they write all of their songs together. “It’s been sort of the central part of the relationship from early on,” Palladino says of the band. “I can’t imagine doing it any other way.”

Another art-reflecting-life aspect of Exitmusic: The band’s videos. Palladino and Church recently released a darkly dreamy

visual for “The Modern Age” off their album Passage. Palladino is an actor as well as a musician (she most recently appeared in the TV series Boardwalk Empire) and says videos “come more naturally to me, because I’m more used to the camera.” But she’s cautious about attaching images to songs that could change a listener’s initial impression of the music.

Then again, says Palladino, everybody watches videos. “So a lot of people get introduced to your song with the visuals there.

It’s a tricky thing — what are those visuals that can still allow the song to be heard?”

She adds, “I never like revealing too much of what our songs are about.”

Considering the obscurity of lyrics and imagery, it’s probably not surprising that fans of the experimental/atmospheric duo aren’t likely to cut a rug at a show. Really, this is music that makes you close your eyes and maybe sway a little bit. Palladino and Church aren’t necessarily looking out into the crowd, either — it’s an introspective experience all the way around. But that doesn’t mean there’s not a connection between band and audience. Palladino says, “You definitely feel who you’re playing to. There’s something that separates each show: It’s the audience and how they respond to us.” — A.M.

Then again, Divine Fits members (Britt Daniel of Spoon, Dan Boeckner of Wolfe Parade, Sam Brown of New Bomb Turks) are the kind of musicians who fans follow closely.

And, having toured with the Beastie Boys and Kanye West and recorded with Karen O and Q-Tip, it’s a safe bet that Santigold will bring to the stage plenty of energy — along with the self-described "sonically eclectic but with some epic curveballs” spirit of her new album, Master of My Make-Believe. santigold.com — A.M.

Brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll disbanded in 2004 but regrouped in '09 (20 years after "Chime") and have been playing big festivals ever since, such as Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts (with a guest appearance by “Doctor Who” actor Matt Smith). orbitalofficial.com — A.M. 12:30 to 2 a.m. — Ambient musicians Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram build the sonic journey that is shpongle using acoustic guitars, flute (played live by Ram), Moroccan drumming, samples of Turkish singing, cello and double bass. Though from the U.K., Shpongle has a huge following in Japan.

thoMas wolFe audItorIuM 7:30 to 8:45 p.m. — The Magnetic Fields' jangly ballads and poppy hooks are the creative vehicle of Stephin Merritt, the band's principle songwriter and driving force. Merritt is as comfortable with synth-heavy electro pop as he is with minimalist folk and fuzzy garage rock, and the multi-instrumentalist's deep crooning vocals and pointed, witty narratives — as biting and sarcastic as they are humorous and universal — are always there to make listeners feel at home. houseoftomorrow.com/tmf.php — D.S. 9:30 to 10:45 p.m. — Thomas dolby will forever be remembered for the ‘82 hit "She Blinded Me with Science" and his dancefriendly synth-pop of the same decade, but the producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist is a musical Renaissance man of sorts, combining his love of computer generated tones with funk, jazz and world styles, even collaborating with Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia and Eddie Van Halen on ‘92's Astronauts and Heretics. In the ‘90s, he founded Beatnik Inc., which pioneered the polyphonic ringtones that dominated early mobile phones. These days, Dolby serves as musical director for the TED Conference series and tours the country with his Time Capsule, a "chrome- and brass-plated trailer" where fans can produce their own 30-second video message to the future. thomasdolby.com — D.S.

11:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. — Kieran Hebden was first a member of Fridge before breaking out on his own as Four Tet. Asheville's Marley Carroll has noted Hebden as a major influence; the British-born musician — despite being a solo act — often collaborates with artists of all ilks, from producer/DJ Bonobo (who regularly plays Asheville) to indiefolkie Andrew Bird to metal band Black Sabbath. His newest album, Pink, streams on his website. fourtet.net — A.M.

And, though he’s very private when it comes to his own musical endeavors, The Guardian calls him "more cerebral than your average techno artist." His newest album, R.I.P., takes inspiration from the less-than-party-inspiring themes of death, God, the devil and John Milton’s Paradise Lost. Never fear: We’re promised his Moogfest set will be "a more raucous affair." honestjons.com — A.M. 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. — Formed in Philadelphia in '05, dark-wave group Cold Cave is mainly the project of singer-songwriter Wesley Eisold, who regularly collaborates with other musicians (like Dominick Fernow of Prurient and Caralee McElroy of Xiu Xiu). The band's label, Matador, says they "strive for balance, between the ugly and the beautiful, between rupture and rapture." coldcave.tumblr.com — A.M. 10 to 11 p.m. — As Pitchfork put it, "death Grips are angry. It's unclear why." The trio (Stefan Burnett, Andy Morin and Zach Hill) bursts out of the speakers with a Rage Against the Machine kick and punch, only it’s hard to say what they're raging against.

thoMas dolBY’s sonIc IngenuItY In America, British synth-pop pioneer Thomas Dolby will always be most recognizable for “She Blinded Me with Science.” Marked by jittering rhythms and oddball sonic glitches, the energetic farce was a novelty hit in 1982, cornering Dolby in a stylistic niche that would never suit him.

A gear fiend who began building his own synthesizers at 18, Dolby became a sought-after studio musician and producer, working with such heavyweights as Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Foreigner and Def Leppard.

At the same time, he was making his own music, wrangling funk, pop and electronic elements into a mad and mercurial style all his own. In the late ’80s, he began scoring films, and in the ’90s, he left recording all together, pouring his energies into Beatnik, a company that created software synthesizers for mobile phones.

In the 2000s, Dolby returned slowly to touring and recording, rolling out his 2011 comeback album, A Map of the Floating City, in an elaborate process that saw the LP released in three digital chunks to Dolby’s online community, complete with an interactive online video game. Dolby isn’t satisfied with music unless he has the freedom to innovate, and today’s environment affords him that liberty.

“The sort of album-single-tour structure is broken down now, and there’s a lot more variation in the way you can put stuff out,” he says. “It’s not always convenient and inspiring to write songs in batches of 12 and then go out and sort of live by them for 16 months at a time. Sometimes I’m very productive, and I might get an EP’s worth of material together in just a couple of months and want to get it out right away. Then months will go by, and I don’t have anything new. I like the fact that there’s the flexibility now. It’s a much better fit for when the inspiration is or isn’t there.”

Floating City is a testament to Dolby’s diversity. “Nothing New Under the Sun” masters sleek, riff-propelled power-pop, while “Spice Train” is a dense, synth-driven affair with a Middle Eastern flair that in every way earns the Dune reference suggested by the lyrics.

Dolby’s uncommon stylistic breadth is matched with an equally unconvention-

dIana worthaM theatre 7 to 8 p.m. — Singer-songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter collaborates with a number of artists and has recorded two solo albums alone in her bedroom (most recently, Ekstasis). While her singing voice is pretty and dramatic (think Laurie Anderson), her work pushes the boundaries of experimentation, eschewing aesthetic beauty for strangeness and texture. Her song "Bars in Afternoons," at more than 15 minutes, consists mainly of sounds field-recorded in watering holes. juliashammasholter.com — A.M. 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. — Manchesterbased producer Andy stott crafts albums for the Modern Love label that fall under techno but edge up against ambient. Stott also records under the alias Andrea; SonicRouter describes Stott's sound as "breathing a weirdly organic, sample-ridden life into steppers’ riddims and old hardcore tracks." His most recent recording is the visceral, atmospheric We Stay Together. modern-love. co.uk/artists/andy-stott — A.M. 10:15 to 11:15 p.m. — Canadian sound artist Tim Hecker composes the sort of music that earns descriptions like “tectonic color plates” and “cathedral electronic music." daniel lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never, from Brooklyn) crafts droney, ambient sonic experiments on vintage synthesizers.

al recording setup. His current home in England lies on the coast of the North Sea, so he retrofitted an old lifeboat with solar-powered equipment that allows him to record amid the waves.

“I sort of just need tranquility and a blank canvas really,” Dolby says.

“I hear the sounds and the parts and the words in my head, so it’s a great environment to work in. It’s a short commute, and you feel good about the planet, the carbon footprint.”

Dolby embodies the sonic ingenuity that Moogfest was created to celebrate, a point proven by his receipt of the 2012 Moog Innovation Award. Dolby has the kind of creative mind that rejects any and all limitations, and that makes him as relevant today as he was in ’82.

“I love learning new tools and messing around in an area that I’m not really very competent at,” he laughs. “I like making mistakes and experimenting and learning and getting better at things.” — J.L.

11:45 p.m. to 12:45 a.m. — Musician/ poet/composer Harold Budd is another elder statesman of the festival; his career in music dates back to the early '60s with work in minimalist, drone and ambient sounds.

His collaborations with bassist Keith lowe include an '09 performance (with Budd on piano) in celebration of Budd's book of poems, Colorful Fortune. At Moogfest, Budd and Lowe will perform “These Old Love Songs,” selected works from Budd’s discography. haroldbudd.com; avl. mx/m6 — A.M.

andY stott’s new dark VIsIon To understand just how fertile and exciting electronic dance music’s avant-garde has been in recent years, look no further than Andy Stott’s Passed Me By and We Stay Together.

Released last year on Modern Love (currently one of the movement’s most exploratory imprints), the sister albums have redefined heavy within the context of dark techno.

Swathed in gray-matter decay, their gargantuan grooves lumber, churn and throb in ways that are utterly novel. Yet archetypal, too. It’s as if the Manchester-based producer and DJ somehow synthesized the boiling, primordial stew from which the long-extinct ancestors of industrial music, psychedelic funk and sludge metal all had sprung.

This universal quality, peculiar but alluring, helped the records transcend the techno scene. Just about anybody into loud and intense music soon scrambled to grip copies.

Even the subdued Pitchfork types were reading about the guy’s striking sounds.

“It was a big surprise for me how well those releases were received,” admits Stott, who is playing a smattering of North American gigs this autumn. “I had no idea they would pave a path for me to go ahead and really take things further. It’s still surprising to meet people from completely different scenes who are into those records.”

Now it’s time for the highly anticipated follow up: Luxury Problems, which Modern Love is set to drop Oct. 29 (just two days after the musician’s appearance at this year’s

Moogfest). If preview track “Numb” is any indication, the album finds Stott augmenting his patently dubby sound with arrangements that are more chiseled and carved. There’s a palpable tension between his crushing beats and a newfound ethereality and meditative splendor.

“It’s as pile-driving as both We Stay Together and Passed Me By, but only in places,” explains Stott. “There is a slightly smoother feel — only slightly, though. There’s also more beauty.

That’s due to Alison Skidmore’s voice. She was my piano teacher from when I was about 15 to 16 years old. Alison put down the vocals on the majority of the album’s tracks.”

Radical mutation always accompanies authentic artistic evolution. But what hasn’t changed on Luxury Problems is Stott’s hermetic flavor, reflecting his insular music-making process. This is an attribute he shares with labelmate Demdike Stare. Together, they’ve crafted a vision for dark techno whose shadowy and foreboding qualities clearly come from a very personal space.

At the same time, both artists feel strangely haunted by Manchester’s deep wells of dystopian gloom; after all, they hail from the very city that birthed Factory Records. “We’re all just doing our thing, and it just so happens that there is this thread running through the material,” he says. “It’s like none of us are not happy until a track or sound makes you reel back and scrunch up your face, as if to say, “What the f--k is that?” — J.F.

If you’ve been following the local fashion scene, you’ve probably seen the jump in runway shows in the last couple of years. But Project Handmade 2012 (produced by Local Cloth: Farm/Fiber/Fashion Network in partnership with the Asheville Art Museum) provides a different spin on the models-plus-catwalk template.

First, hopefuls had to meet the approval of a jury.

Out of that process, 27 local artists were selected to create some 36 looks — though not everyone involved is an apparel designer. “One of the things that I love the most about this is that it’s judging people who don’t usually do garments,” says organizer Barbara Zaretsky of BZDesign and learning center Cloth Fiber Workshop.

Zaretsky’s work space is in the Cotton Mill Studios; her neighbor is Sutherland Handweaving Studio — makers of woven goods like scarves and table runners. Weaver Barb Butler created yardage for designer Angela Kim, who fashioned a suit. “It’s so exciting to see people get involved in a different level from what they’re used to,” says Zaretsky.

Collaboration is one of the goals of Project Handmade. Zaretsky is partnering with Libby O’Bryan from Western Carolina Sewing Company. “In one of our garments, we’re using cotton that was milled at The Oriole Mill in Hendersonville,” she says.

Local sourcing is a second goal of the showcase.

Or, “to inspire textile artists to engage resources available in the region and encourage innovation to showcase and distinguish the region’s creative fiber and textile-art community,” as the call to artists put it. Local textile sources besides the Oriole Mill (which wove its first fabric in 1907) include Echoview Fiber Mill in Weaverville and New World Textiles in Black Mountain.

Designer Moe Donnelly of Sew Moe is working with upcycled fabric — a go-to among local environmentally minded artists. And, for a long time, recycling has been the best option for sustainable material.

Historically, the textile industry was a major part of the North Carolina economy (the building where Zaretsky works gets its name from its original function) and with new, sustainable mills opening, it’s possible that textile businesses could again become important players.

Slow fashion is a thing. “We’re not necessarily calling it that here, but that’s sort of what it is,” says Zaretsky. “It’s taking examples from the farmers here, and the stores that are carrying local produce and the restaurants that are carrying it in their dishes.” She’s hoping for locally grown sustainable cotton and natural dye plants in the near future.

But first there’s Project Handmade — part educational program, part discussion and mostly a runway show of newly envisioned fashion. X Alli Marshall can be reached at amarshall@mountainx. com.

Bora's work shows his connections with his community through portraits and landscapes of people and places, both here and abroad. His paintings pulled from his ethnic background and the classical training he received from the St. Petersburg Acadamy of Art. Bora’s North Ossetian heritage comes out in the folk imagery. The “Village Allegories” series depicts a series of female figures in folklorish domestic settings. He further blends newfound American folk norms in the “Vanishing Scenes” series, bringing to light elements of life far outside of the city. His painting style changes between these two, adapting to a looser portrayal of mailboxes with bullet holes and dilapidated barns.

In the exhibition catalog, Benedict writes of Bora’s “visual language” that stems from his “deeper need to express an idea.” And with this we find the exhibition's main drama. Benedict joins Richards and Clark in defining Bora’s motive: An investigation and exploration of an idea. It could be a person, a story, a conversation with another artist or a greater social concept, as seen in his longterm series “Origins of the Universe.” Style was the byproduct of Bora’s work.

“There’s nothing that Vadim did that didn’t have his personality in it,” says Asheville painter John Mac Kah. “Vadim was painting in his own language: Vadim Realism.”

The retrospective is up through Friday, Nov. 30. A curators’ talk will be held on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 3 p.m. For more information, visit warren-wilson.edu/blogs/art/ elizabeth-holden-gallery.

The work currently hanging in Warren Wilson College's Elizabeth Holden Gallery is academic. The subjects are classically oriented and the works are hung in the floor-to-ceiling, everything-in Salon style of 19th-century Paris. All of this makes for an uncommon arrangement for Asheville. While the city’s art scene may not regularly delight in the less-than-hip nature of traditional works, there’s something to be learned through this show. The education and prolific artistic life of Vadim Bora sets a seldom-met standard for the Asheville artist.

Vadim Bora: A Visual Legacy of Expressive Freedom, From Initial Spark to Final Form draws its focus toward the life’s work of the Russian-born artist and Asheville adoptee, who passed away on Jan. 5, 2011 after a severe stroke. If you knew Bora and his work, you’ll know that the show provides a thorough experience. It’s the second such retrospective; the first was curated in 2005 by the artist at the Spartanburg Museum of Art. Paintings, drawings, sketches and entire sketchbooks accompany sculpture, project mock-ups, rings, bracelets and the tools that Bora used to make them. There are easily more than 100 pieces if you include the jewelry. Most of these works originate after 1993, when the artist immigrated to the U.S. from Vladikavkaz, Russia, an Asheville Sister City.

Bora’s connection to Western North Carolina was established when a local Sister City delegation visited his studio in Vladikavkaz. The delegation later invited him to visit Asheville, and the rest is relocation history.

Constance Richards, Bora’s widow, began collecting pieces in the summer of 2011. More than half the show is on loan, so there was a great deal of re-acquiring works from collectors. That also means a show of this kind will not recur any time soon. With the help of Dusty Benedict, a former WWC professor of art, the duo curated the exhibition to reflect Bora’s work ethic and abundant artistic output.

“He was limited in space and he liked the viewer to be overwhelmed with the work,” Richards told Xpress. The space she’s referring to was Bora’s Battery Park Avenue studio and gallery, a second-floor space now occupied by The Working Girls Studio. While the Salon-style of hanging art seemed to be the best means of covering the full spectrum of his work, it was also one that Bora personally enjoyed.

Richards and Benedict arranged the works in series. The show is largely figurative, containing everything from paintings and sculptures of nudes to an array of portraits that nearly fill an entire wall. The scope of his portraiture includes his closest friends and family, along with strangers that he would likely never see after the initial figure drawing.

The self-portraits may provide the best view of Bora’s evolving figurative style. Self-portraiture often comes across as a vanity practice.

But the variety in Bora’s selves, some of them abstractly unidentifiable, quickly negate this idea. Instead, they offer views of the rapid changes that gripped his work.

“S-P White Hat” largely forgoes the face while “S-P With Brush” offers the most polished and refined image in the entire show. The brush has a feather quality that also appears flame-like; Bora wryly sports a stereotypical artist’s beret. Another piece has only an outline.

“S-P: Abstract,” a smear of darkened colors, has a solitary teal silhouette line tracing a faint profile.

“For Vadim, it wasn’t what was on the tip of the paintbrush, it was his attitude towards life,” says painter Gully Clark. Bora’s work was informed by the details of his surroundings, regardless of how fine they may have been. Richards even told of Bora snagging people from the sidewalk for quick sketches — all because they may have possessed a particularly interesting feature.

art/sewn at asheville Museum of art Women are no strangers to the history of sewing in art, and this show of 11 nationally acclaimed female artists acknowledges that history. However, the different approaches to thread as a medium range from the traditional to the experimental, producing a compelling exhibition. Janet Henry’s toy dolls or “tchotchkes” use thread to hold the photographic and plastic elements together. Other artists like Emily Barletta sew directly onto paper; her red thread compositions create textures and motion in order to “filter pain out of my body through my hands.” Gina Phillips’ installation, “Life Lasagna,” occupies an entire room with faces, eagles, teeth and abstract forms packed with fabric layers and machine-sewn thread, based on imagery from her rural Kentucky upbringing. The variety of works also includes quilts, 3-D diorama-style pieces and sculptural forms made from industrial wool. Art/Sewn hangs at the Asheville Museum of Art through Jan. 6. Admission is $8 for non-members, free on the first Wednesday of each month. ashevilleart.org — Bridget Conn

timeline at pump gallery Mixed-media artist, photographer and contributing Xpress writer Bridget Conn’s obsession with organizing and aligning disparate organic forms such as honey, apple cores and sheets of note paper, recalls the familiar urge to “clean house” and take control — something like a ’60s-era housewife á la Betty Draper. From a certain perspective, one might feel a passive aggression in the many allusions to baking — used tea bags, black-and-white photographs and remnants of pretty things now dead and brown silently whisper, “See all I’ve done for you, and what have you done for me?” Alternatively, Conn might just be paying homage to the nostalgic trappings of food and ritual.

For Timeline, Conn has arranged a variety of photographs and dioramas produced over the past 10 years into a seamless installation that makes each piece appear as if it was created specifically for this show. The materials in Conn’s work hold meaning, but, formally speaking, it’s just satisfying to see hundreds of grains of rice and tiny hatch marks lined up in meticulous rows. On display until Oct. 30 at Pump Gallery in the Phil Mechanic Building. philmechanicstudios.com/pump.html. — Ursula Gullow

tamie beldue at the artery

savage flowers at harvest records

Tangible Identities, a collection of black-andwhite encaustic portraits by UNC-Asheville professor Tamie Beldue, is now on display at the Artery. Twenty-three 13-by-13-inch panels line the gallery’s north wall, providing a glimpse of 23 different individuals. On the opposite wall, five panels ranging from a single, small-format piece to two pieces just over 3-feet tall present fully rendered portraits. Each of these works is sealed with encaustic wax that softens the image, purposely blurs the peripheries and draws focus to one area. Beneath the wax, Beldue applies layers of graphite and watercolor that build up and focus on momentary subtleties. These moments, both candid and uncomfortable, present themselves during modeling sessions with the figures she’s depicted. Muscles begin to twitch, the face flushes and the skin stresses. While some exude pure confidence and good humor, others have a noticeable despair.

Tangible Identities is up through Oct. 30 at the Artery, 346 Depot St. ashevillearts.com — Kyle Sherard

Alli Good presents a macabre tale of cruelty in “Savage Flowers,” with pieces of various sizes and formats based on the artist’s first adventure with stop-motion animation. The narrative involves six girls and a horrific deed. The young women, all eerily dressed identically in floor-length blue dresses, blissfully eat flowers from a tree as they roam a beautiful mountainside, where they then encounter a dead rabbit. One of the girls becomes physically ill over the sight, and the true meaning of “savage flowers” shines through in what happens next. Among the many components of the show are small paintings of each of the characters’ faces, original framed drawings used in the animation, books and cassette tapes and a larger-than-life panel depicting the culmination of the tragedy. The animation was projected at the show’s opening, but is now available on YouTube at avl.mx/m9.

Harvest Records is located at 415 Haywood Road, open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Sunday noon-5 p.m. — Bridget Conn

Juie rattley iii at flood gallery Greensboro artist Juie Rattley III’s use of paint is an emotional minefield, and his self-portraits and street scenes audaciously employ bright color and frenetic brushwork. Images are obliterated with bold strokes of paint; the edge of a face or a figure evaporates into a field of activated brushstrokes and pulsating color. The push and pull between foreground and background implies a heightened sense of distress, and the piercing gaze of his portraits suggest a call to action. The subject matter is blunt and evocative. By eradicating key elements of an image, e.g., Crime Scene (pictured), the cause and effect are all the more disturbing. On display until Oct. 30 at Flood Gallery in the Phil Mechanic Building, 109 Roberts St. floodgallery.org — Ursula Gullow

lost bayou ramblers South Louisiana Cajun-influenced experimentalists Lost Bayou Ramblers return to Asheville for the second time this year, and just in time for Jack of the Wood’s Creole Voodoo Halloween dance party. The band’s latest album, Mammoth Waltz, builds on traditional sounds while incorporating new influences — like collaborations with Violent Femmes vocalist Gordon Gano, New Orleans singer-songwriter/pianist Dr. John and actress-turned-chanteuse Scarlett Johansson. And, while Mammoth isn’t spooky per se, there’s a very good chance that Lost Bayou Ramblers will bring a little voodoo to their Wednesday, Oct. 31 performance. 10 p.m. $8 in advance or $10 day of show. jackofthewood.com.

custard pie Since 2010, local Led Zeppelin tribute act Custard Pie only makes the rarest of appearances, which makes the group’s Halloween installment of self-described “high-gravity rock ‘n’ roll” not just a show, but an occasion.

Custard Pie is Aaron Woody Wood on guitar, Rhett McGahee on vocals, Jamie Stirling on drums and David Connor Jones on bass. The Facebook invite states, “We are working up some tricks and treats for you this All Hallows Eve.” Among those treats is an opening set of Black Sabbath covers.

Wednesday, Oct. 31 at Asheville Music Hall. 9 p.m. $10 in advance or $12 day of show. ashevillemusichall. com.

The Story: A bookish 30-something college admissions officer — freshly dumped by his girlfriend — returns to his old college and finds a possible new love and more.

The Lowdown: A thoroughly enjoyable film about the allure and pitfalls of the academic world and experience — especially when viewed through the filter of nostalgia.

It is complete happenstance that this week finds two films opening about people in their mid-30s going “home” after a breakup. In both cases, the 30-something leads fall into situations involving 19-year-olds. If you’ve already read the review for Hello I Must Be Going, then you know what the other one is. The biggest difference between the films lies in the genders of the leads. That one deals with a 35-year-old woman and this one focuses on a 35-year-old man. (I’m amused to find reviews for this one that think the situation is at least potentially creepy, while that doesn’t seem to be a concern when it’s the woman who’s older.) The situations are more similar than the resulting films. And the tones are strikingly different — for reasons that have little or nothing to do with the genders. I liked both films — a pleasant surprise in both cases, because I wasn’t expecting much — but I’d give Liberal Arts the slight edge. Maybe it’s because I saw it first, or because it doesn’t have an indie-pop soundtrack, or maybe just because I found the direction more assured.

It may even be because Elizabeth Olsen (who I like a lot when she isn’t in dreary selfimportant indies) invariably wears the type of blouses I associate with the cool girls back in the early 1970s.

I may be the perfect audience for Liberal Arts since not only have I never seen the TV sitcom that writer-director-star Josh Radnor stars in, but I’d never even heard of him before watching this. My preconceptions were non-existent. In any case, Radnor plays Jesse, whose girlfriend has just left him and who isn’t particularly happy at his job as an admissions officer at a New York university. He’s in the perfect frame of mind to accept an invitation to go back to his alma mater, Kenyon College in Ohio, for a retirement party for pro-

Josh Radnor and Elizabeth Olsen in Radnor's romantic comedy drama Liberal Arts. fessor Peter Hoberg (Richard Jenkins), a man who was either his favorite or second favorite teacher at the college. It’s in this setting — a place where he finds himself drawn to a world where people talk about books and music as if they matter in a way we don’t find in the “real world” — that he meets Zibby (Olsen), a smart college girl whose forthright approach to life (and her undisguised attraction to him) holds an immediate appeal. But it’s an appeal he’s wary of — even after she enters into a correspondence with him and starts sending him classical music mix CDs, which they discuss by mail. (This is actually one of the film’s most accomplished sequences, even if Zibby’s taste in music is a little on the parochial side.)

Naturally, the relationship — and the appeal of college life — keeps tugging at him and brings him back to Kenyon.

If this was the extent of the film’s appeal, it might seem a little on the slight side, but this is in many ways less about Jesse’s relationship with Zibby than it is about Jesse’s romance with his romanticized notion of his college life. That’s where the film scores its larger points — as it touches on Hoberg’s retirement, the perils of college for some types (expressed in a small role for John Magaro), the cynical underbelly of professors who’ve perhaps been there too long (Allison Janney) and the simple truth that divides the world of academia from real life. There’s a good bit more going on here than a quirky indie rom-com — and Radnor gets extra credit for knowing what a tripod is and not being afraid of using it.

I’ve seen the film criticized for being like Garden State (2004), which I don’t really think is true in any meaningful way. I’ve also been told that the dialogue is unrealistic and

pretentious, which might make a good case for spending more time with better-spoken people. But see it and decide for yourself.

You might be as agreeably surprised as I was.

Director: rob cohen (tHe mummy: tomb of tHe Dragon emperor) Players: tyler Perry, Matthew fox, eDwarD burns, rachel nichols, Jean reno crime/action thriLLer

rated PG-13

The Story: A sadistic, psychopathic master criminal is hunted by a Detroit detective who wants to stop him from murdering a billionaire.

The Lowdown: A confounding crime flick that slowly unravels into goofiness, and which also suffers from a lot of poor casting decisions.

For as much financial success as Tyler Perry has made in film, very little has to do with his ability as an actor — at least when he’s not in drag. So casting him as James Patterson’s Dr. Alex Cross — a character made famous in Kiss the Girls (1997) and Along Came a Spider (2001) by Morgan Freeman (and which had originally been pegged for Idris Elba) — is more than just a bit confusing. The idea with Rob Cohen’s plainly titled Alex Cross isn’t just to launch a new film franchise, but to truly test Perry’s sway outside the man’s normal

territory of faith-tinged potboilers. After a weak opening weekend, a lot of the blame will likely fall on Perry. However, while he lacks the gravitas or ability to carry such a broken film, this is really a project that was doomed from the start.

Instead of going the taut-thriller route of the Freeman films, we get an action picture traipsing around as a crime flick. Director Cohen — whose career consists of a slew of crapfests like Stealth (2005) and xXx (2002) — is saddled with a script full of corny dialogue and a meandering, often downright dumb plot, but has no clue how to make it palatable. Honestly, the film holds itself together for a while. Its story — involving the Sherlock Holmes-like Cross hunting down a sadistic professional killer (Matthew Fox) — at least makes sense. Also there’s genuinely surprising lengths that the film is willing to go to create the sense that literally no character is safe.

Perry even holds his own, though Alex Cross — at this point — demands little in the way of heavy lifting, fitting neatly inside the bounds of any number of TV police procedurals.

The problems arise when Alex Cross slips into revenge flick mode, since Perry simply cannot pull off the gruff tough guy stuff.

Watching him in a wife-beater tank top, sawing off the end of a shotgun in his basement is silly, while watching him get all handsy with criminals and calling them “maggots” is laughable, and his big climactic fight scene with Fox would be hilarious if Cohen had any idea how to shoot a coherent action sequence.

But so much of this movie just isn’t Perry’s fault. The plot slowly falls apart into a heap of unexplained, far-fetched absurdity. There’s a catastrophic failure in the entire casting process. Perry shouldn’t be playing a rough and tumble cop. Ed Burns shouldn’t be the wisecracking sidekick. And Fox — despite a game attempt — isn’t at the top of the list to play spindly, wild-eyed, crazed killers. Alex Cross, when all is said and done, is less a movie, and more a cavalcade of poor decisions on every level. Rated PG-13 for violence including disturbing images, sexual content, language, drug references, and nudity. reviewed by Justin Souther Playing at Carmike 10, Carolina Asheville Cinema 14, Epic of Hendersonville, Regal Biltmore Grande

Hello I Must Be GoInG JJJJ

Director: toDD Louiso (The Marc Pease exPerience) PLayers: MeLanie Lynskey, BLythe Danner, christoPher aBBott, John ruBinstein, JuLie White RoMantIc coMedy dRaMa

Rated R

The Story: A newly divorced 30-something returns to live with her parents and falls into a complicated relationship with a younger man.

The Lowdown: Funny, perceptive little movie that gives the usually overlooked Melanie Lynskey a much deserved break. The rest of the cast scores, too.

Hello I Must Be Going (yes, it does have a connection to Groucho Marx’s song from Animal Crackers) is a pleasant little romantic comedy (with some degree of drama) that I confess I would like better without its grating indie-pop soundtrack. That’s not to say I didn’t like it, because I did — probably mostly for Melanie Lynskey, an actress who has rarely been given her due on the big screen. She started out on equal footing with Kate Winslet in Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures (in my book, it’s still his most accomplished film) in 1994. But while Winslet’s career immediately took off, Lynskey’s has largely been relegated to supporting roles (right now you can see her in a small role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower).

Well, here she has a film she can call her own — and she does. Though she has some solid support, this is every inch her movie.

Lynskey plays Amy Minsky, who at about 35 finds herself freshly divorced, utterly depressed and back home in Connecticut living with her upscale parents — her upscale, well-meaning, but rather clueless parents. Her father (TV actor John Rubinstein) is absorbed in his business and seems to see not much wrong with Amy lying in bed watching the Marx Brothers movies he shared with her as a child. (They both have splendid taste in the Marxes, sticking with their Paramount years.)

Her mother (Blythe Danner) is somewhat more intent on pushing Amy back into the real world, but she has her own concerns involving redecorating the house and planning for an around-the-world trip with her husband as soon as he closes a certain deal and retires.

That deal turns out to be what sets the plot — and Amy — in motion, thanks to a dinner with the other half of the deal and his family. It turns out that the family has a 19-year-old son, Jeremy (Christopher Abbott, Martha Marcy May Marlene), who may be the only person at the table with less desire to be there than Amy. Not surprisingly — especially given the type of film this is — Amy and Jeremy end up drawn to each other and in no uncertain terms. In fact, it’s only after they’ve had sex that Amy learns that Jeremy is gay — or so his mother (Julie White, Shia La Beouf’s mom in the Transformers pictures) thinks. Just why his mother thinks this seems to be grounded in him having successfully played a gay man in a play (that he’s now down to play Walt Whitman perhaps seals the deal). It’s actually doubtful that Jeremy knows just what he is,

82 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

but he does know that he connects with Amy and that he doesn’t — despite what his mother believes — want to be an actor. The problem with all this isn’t just that Amy has qualms about the difference in their ages, but because their relationship could ruin her father’s business deal.

What follows is good-natured, good-hearted and, yeah, somewhat cut to fit the rom-com pattern, but neither unpleasantly so, nor unrealistically. There are undercurrents to the story that keep it always believable and engaging.

(It’s refreshing that a film can actually realize that a 35-year-old has every right to behave in a manner usually attributed to much younger characters.) And while the film has nothing similar stylistically or in terms of dialogue, it’s nice to encounter an ending that Woody Allen might have approved of. Much of the thrust of the film is really contained in the lyrics of the Bert Kalmar-Harry Ruby song from which the film takes its title. (That, too, is Allenesque.

Allen used the song over the opening credits of Whatever Works in 2009.) Although we only hear it once in the course of the film, its words seem to apply to every aspect of Amy’s life — her marriage, her sojourn with her parents and maybe her romance with Jeremy. Rom-coms are rarely like this. Rated R for language and sexual content. reviewed by Ken Hanke Starts Friday at Carolina Asheville Cinema 14

The Story: More low-rent spooky doings in suburbia.

The Lowdown: People who find these bottom-of-the-barrel movies (videos, actually) somehow scary will presumably do so once again. The rest of us are more likely to yawn or go see something else.

It appears that a good many critics are saying that — creatively speaking — the Paranormal Activity franchise (and that’s such an apt word in this case) has run aground. What amazes me is that they’re only now finding that out. When all this nonsense started in 2009 — ready to lay siege to the Halloween ritual of Saw movies — it had some novelty value. The first was made in 2007 for somewhere between $11,000 and $15,000 in someone’s house using someone’s friends as the cast. It was then picked up by a studio and sold on the model of The Blair Witch Project (1999) — purporting to be true and even "proving" its veracity by eschewing any credits. It had some novelty. That’s long gone.

The films still look like they were made for a similar amount of money, though the acting has gotten better — even if the story and the dialogue have not. So what we’re still getting is a crappy-looking movie about uninteresting people (which apparently means they’re like, you know, real) being pranked by some super-

natural agency for about 75 minutes. For the last 10 minutes, said supernatural agency gets down to doing more than ringing the doorbell and running. This is apparently what the "some violence/terror" in the R rating refers to. But if you removed the teenage leads repeatedly saying, "What the f**k?", this would be PG-13 stuff.

And pretty tepid PG-13 at that.

If you care — and if you do, you probably stopped reading some sentences back — this one is sort of out to answer the question of whatever became of possessed Katie (Katie Featherston) after she made off with her infant nephew in the original movie. Seems she and the now 6-year-old nephew (now called Robbie and played by someone named Brady Allen — presumably because Atticus Shaffer is too old and costs too much) have moved into another suburban house. This one’s in Nevada (not that it really matters since any McMansionfestooned suburban sprawl would do) and across the street from a new family that the recurring demonic force is poised to terrorize.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe he’s bored. I was.

Anyway, in a wholly preposterous turn of events, Robbie’s Auntie Katie is whisked off to the hospital in the middle of the night and the lad is left to fend for himself, so the kindhearted neighbor lady ill-advisedly takes this nephew of darkness into her home. You can fill in the rest, I’m sure.

There are bumps in the night, a disappearing knife trick, some occult mumbo jumbo about the Hittites (pronounced high-tights in the movie) and a nod to Kubrick’s The Shining (1980). (I have never understood why filmmakers want to call to mind far better movies than the one they’re offering.) The big technical breakthrough here — last time, you may recall, it was the oscillating-fan-cam — involves much of the captured spookiness being Skyped and captured on computers. (Naturally, no one — except the audience — ever sees the really convincing stuff.) This requires our heroine (Kathryn Newton, Bad Teacher) to prowl around presumably with her laptop in front of her and pointed away from her. If you think that sounds ridiculous for her mere nocturnal wanderings, just wait till the big climax when she’s apparently running for her life holding the damned thing in front of her to capture all the boogie-boogie-boogie horrors. (Since it’s all point-of-view, we don’t actually see her lugging the computer around, of course, but it’s the only explanation for what we are seeing.)

And you wondered why that bozo didn’t drop the camera in Cloverfield (2008)?

When it was all over, my wife — who had somehow never seen one of these things — opined that it was "possibly the worst movie" she’d ever seen. As someone has already pointed out, those are strong words from one who saw The Oogieloves. While I’m not quite ready to second her assessment, neither do I feel inclined to argue the point. Rated R for language and some violence/terror. reviewed by Ken Hanke Playing at Carolina Asheville Cinema 14, Epic of Hendersonville, Regal Biltmore Grande, United Artists Beaucatcher Cinema 7

startingfriday cHasiNg maVericKs

Curtis Hanson (with a little help from Michael Apted who replaced Hanson due to health issues before the film was finished) seems to be dipping his toes in the PG-rated uplifting "true life" sports genre. (Think Soul Surfer.) The writeup says: "The inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (played by newcomer Jonny Weston). When 15-year-old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it." At least, that's what it says. (PG)

cloud atlas

Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer joined forces to bring the sprawling novel “Cloud Atlas” to the screen as an equally sprawling film that weighs in at 172 minutes and features name actors like Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving and Jim Sturgess in multiple roles and in multiple stories. The write-up explains it as thus: "Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.

Each member of the ensemble appears in multiple roles as the stories move through time." Does that help? Probably not, but it looks fascinating and heads our way with a preponderance of good reviews and positive buzz. It's definitely the big deal this week.(R)

fuN siZe

At the bottom of the heap, there's Fun Size from TV producer Josh Schwartz (Gossip Girl). It stars people you've barely heard of doing the sort of things that people do in wacky teenage comedies. The big difference here is that it has a Halloween backdrop. No critics have seen it. Not even studio shills are showing up on the IMDb to rave in faux-teenspeak about the special screening they saw.

Looks pretty dire. (PG-13)

sileNt Hill: reVelatioN

Christophe Gans' Silent Hill is surely one of the high water marks in horror cinema in the 21st century. Considering it was adapted from a video game, that's pretty remarkable — and here's the inevitable sequel. Some of the same cast is back and the always welcome Malcolm McDowell has been added. And the trailer mostly looks pretty good. But neither director Gans nor screenwriter Roger Avary are anywhere to be seen. Everything has been handed over to Michael J. Bassett of Solomon Kane fame. This could go either way, but really, we're due for a good horror picture for Halloween. (R)

specialscreenings Blood for dracula JJJJJ Horror rated X In Brief: It’s the X-rated classic where Dracula becomes spectacularly unwell whenever he drinks the blood of anyone who’s not a virgin (prompting the magnificent outburst, “The blood of these whores is killing me!”) — and if that appeals to you (and it should), this movie is right up your alley. It’s all about Dracula going to Italy to find some virgin (or “wirgin”) blood (he’s been assured that “the Italian church needs wirgins for their wedding rituals”) — only to find himself at a house full of modern ladies of lax morals, not to mention a randy Brooklyn-accented, Marxist handyman. It’s as screwy and tasteless as it sounds — and it’s wonderful.

freewillastrology ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the coming days, many of your important tasks will be best accomplished through caginess and craftiness. Are you willing to work behind the scenes and beneath the surface? I suspect you will have a knack for navigating your way skillfully and luckily through mazes and their metaphorical equivalents. The mists may very well part at your command, revealing clues that no one else but you can get access to. You might also have a talent for helping people to understand elusive or difficult truths. Halloween costume suggestions: spy, stage magician, ghost whisperer, exorcist.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The coming week could resemblance the holiday known as Opposite Day. Things people say may have meanings that are different or even contrary to what they supposedly mean. Qualities you usually regard as liabilities might temporarily serve as assets, and strengths could seem problematical or cause confusion. You should also be wary of the possibility that the advice you get from people you trust may be misleading. For best results, make liberal use of reverse psychology, freaky logic and mirror magic. Halloween costume suggestion: the opposite of who you really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I don’t have a big problem with your tendency to contradict yourself. I’m rarely among the consistency freaks who would prefer you to stick with just one of your many selves instead of hopscotching among all nine. In fact, I find your multi-level multiplicity interesting and often alluring. I take it as a sign that you are in alignment with the fundamentally paradoxical nature of life. Having said all that, however, I want to alert you to an opportunity that the universe is currently offering you, which is to feel unified, steady and stable. Does that sound even vaguely enticing? Why not try it out for a few weeks?

Halloween costume suggestion: an assemblage or collage of several of your different personas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) An avocado tree may produce so much fruit that the sheer weight of its exuberant creation causes it to collapse. Don’t be like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Without curbing your luxuriant mood, simply monitor your outpouring of fertility so that it generates just the right amount of beautiful blooms.

Be vibrant and bountiful and fluidic, but not unconstrained or overwrought or recklessly lavish. Halloween costume suggestion: a bouquet, an apple tree, a rich artist, or an exotic dancer with a bowl of fruit on your head.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) I hope your father didn’t beat you or scream at you or molest you. If he did, I am so sorry

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) “It’s so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas,” said French painter Paul Cezanne.

Many writers make similar comments about — the excruciating joy they feel when first sitting down in front of an empty page. For artists in any genre, in fact, getting started may seem painfully impossible. And yet there can also be a delicious anticipation as the ripe chaos begins to coalesce into coherent images or words or music. Even if you’re not an artist, Scorpio, you’re facing a comparable challenge in your own chosen field.

Halloween costume suggestion: a painter with a blank canvas. for your suffering. I also hope that your father didn’t ignore you or withhold his best energy from you. I hope he didn’t disappear for weeks at a time and act oblivious to your beauty. If he did those things, I mourn for your loss. Now it’s quite possible that you were spared such mistreatment, Leo. Maybe your dad gave you conscientious care and loved you for who you really are. But whatever the case might be, this is the right time to acknowledge it. If you’re one of the lucky ones, celebrate to the max. If you’re one of the wounded ones, begin or renew your quest for serious and intensive healing. Halloween costume suggestion: your father.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do you know how to tell the difference between superstitious hunches and dependable intuitions?

Are you good at distinguishing between mediocre gossip that’s only ten percent accurate and reliable rumors that provide you with the real inside dope? I suspect that you will soon get abundant opportunities to test your skill in these tasks. To increase the likelihood of your success, ask yourself the following question on a regular basis: Is what you think you’re seeing really there or is it mostly a projection of your expectations and theories?

Halloween costume suggestions: a lie detector, an interrogator with syringes full of truth serum, a superhero with X-ray vision, a lab scientist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I am officially protesting you, Libra. I am staging a walkout and mounting a demonstration and launching a boycott unless you agree to my demand. And yes, I have just one demand: that you take better care of the neglected, disempowered, and underprivileged parts of your life.

Not a year from now; not when you have more leisure time; NOW! If and when you do this, I predict the arrival of a flood of personal inspiration. Halloween costume suggestion: a symbolic

86 OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2012 • mountainx.com

representation of a neglected, disempowered, or underprivileged part of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) As you contemplate what you want to be for Halloween, don’t consider any of the following options: a thoroughbred racehorse wearing a blindfold; a mythic centaur clanking around in iron boots; a seahorse trying to dance on dry land. For that matter, Sagittarius, I hope you won’t come close to imitating any of those hapless creatures even in your non-Halloween life.

It’s true that the coming days will be an excellent time to explore, analyze and deal with your limitations. But that doesn’t mean you should be overwhelmed and overcome by them.

Halloween costume suggestions: Houdini, an escaped prisoner, a snake molting its skin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “Does anyone know where I can find dinosaur costumes for cats?” asked a Halloween shopper on Reddit.com. In the comments section, someone else said that he needed a broccoli costume for his Chihuahua. I bring this up, Capricorn, because if anyone could uncover the answers to these questions, it would be you. You’ve got a magic touch when it comes to hunting down solutions to unprecedented problems. Halloween costume suggestion: a cat wearing a dinosaur costume.

It’s not a good time to wear Super-Control Higher-Power Spanx, or any other girdle, corset, or restrictive garment. In fact, I advise you not to be a willing participant in any situation that pinches, hampers, or confines you. You need to feel exceptionally expansive. In order to thrive, you’ve got to give yourself permission to spill over, think big and wander freely. As for those people who might prefer you to keep your unruly urges in check and your natural inclinations concealed: Tell them your astrologer authorized you to seize a massive dose of slack.

Halloween costume suggestions: a wild man or wild woman; a mythical bird like the Garuda or Thunderbird; the god or goddess of abundance.
